Well just in case you need one, here's a
quicky on what happened.
Kasumi discovered that Shinji is here
while Shinji is deciding if he should give
up on Kasumi, but since Kasumi displayed a
lot, and I mean A LOT, of affection towards

at, and I have to admit, he's good, running!

Destiny and Time
Chapter 13
Thursday, 2115.. or at least I think it's
thursday... I have no idea what date it is
but all I know is that it's still the year
2115, oh well.
Well for the past 5 days, Shinji has been
sulking in his room, only coming out for
Sakaru's lessons and to get something to
eat. Or at least I think he does...
I have no idea what got into him.. maybe its
that 'food fight' incident, or maybe something
else.. I don't know anymore. I'm worried..
I think this is the first time in my life
that I admitted it, I'm worried about Shinji.
I mean, Even when Sakaru got her Eva, which
is bright yellow, and almost looks as cheerful
as Sakaru herself, and synced with it with a
31%, he didn't even smile. All he did was
stand there.
Asuka lifted her pen from a tiny note book.
*Why am I writing this? So Shinji can find
it and read it! AARRGGGHH, I'm must be
REALLY bored*
Asuka threw the note book into the garbage
can and looked at the clock.
*Almost lunch time... good thing I told Sakaru
to take a break from the lessons, I think I
am the one who needs one*
The Second Child sat back on the couch where
she was writing in her 'diary' which she
threw away.
*If I don't get something to do, I think I'm
gonna go crazy or be as quite as Shinji is*
"I NEED TO DO SOMETHING" Asuka suddenly screamed
"asuka?"
Asuka jumped and saw Shinji's pale face facing
her, "Shinji, oh my god, you look bad." Asuka
thought that he would fall down on the spot.
"...."
Shinji, despite his apperance, walked quickly
towards the kitchen and took out a cup noodle
and some boiling water and made a quick snack.
"Shinji, you have to eat some REAL food or
you'll end up looking like Rei." Asuka shivered
at the thought.
Shinji mumbled something quitely and then took
the cup noodle and headed back to his room.
"Shinji, are you mad about what I did few
days ago." Asuka whispered to him.
Shinji shook his head and walked towards Asuka.
To Asuka's surprise, he kissed her on her cheeks
and said, "no...never your fault.... all about me"
Asuka, I don't deserve you OR Kasumi.
The red head stood there as she heard the
voice again.
*This is.... I knew it, it's Shinji... he... he*
"Shinji, let me in.. we need to talk."
"...."
"Let me in"
"...."
"LET ME IN OR I'LL BU-"
The door creaked open and Asuka found Shinji staring
at the ceiling of the room with cup noodles all
around his bed.
"Shinji... look at yourself, your a mess."
"so..."
For days, Asuka hoped to hear Shinji's voice again,
but now, she regretted hearing it.
"YOU BAKA, SNAP OUT OF IT," Asuka shouted stomped
over to Shinji, "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS.. THIS IS
PATHETIC."
"so..."
"HOW THE HELL ARE YOU SUPPOSE TO KEEP YOUR PROMISE
NOW!!.. how..." Asuka felt tears building up, "how
are you suppose to tell me that my cooking is good"
"asuka.. why are you crying..." Shinji stared blankly
at Asuka like his soul has been pulled out of his body,
"why cry for a worthless piece of human who can't even
tell who he loves?"
Asuka dropped on the floor in front of Shinji, "I'm
not crying you baka," Asuka made a sobbing sound, "I
just have a cold."
"please... get out... i need to be alone..."
"YOU'VE BEEN THIS WAY FOR 5 DAYS!! 5 GOD DAMNED DAYS
AND YOU SAY YOU NEED TO BE ALONE, WHAT KIND OF STUPID
EXCUSE IS THAT! I miss you... the you I used to Insult,
the you that saved me, the you that I fell for, the you
that I can never allow myself to tell my feelings to."
"...."
"DAMN YOU" Asuka stormed out of the room.
But DO I love you?
Asuka heard the voice again, his thoughts, the
biggest question on this mind.
*Please say you do*
*******************************
*What does she mean?* Shinji stared at the same
ceiling that, apparently, he has been staring at
for 5 days.
Please say you do
*The voice... Asuka... why can't I decide?*
*******************************
True to her word, Kasumi has waited for Shinji to
come to the bench in the park for the past 5 days.
*Maybe he already decide to be with Asuka*
Kasumi shook her head as if to get the thought from
her head.
*I'll wait, just like I promised.. I'll wait*
It is 10:12 and Kasumi sat at the bench staring at
the sky.
"Kasumi?"
"Chron? what are YOU doing here?" Kasumi said to the
pilot without looking at him.
"Well what are YOU doing here?" Chron sat down beside
Kasumi.
"Waiting...."
"Don't tell me, price charming told you to wait for
him here at 10 and he still hasn't come?"
"...."
"Oh come on, your my weapon dispatcher, if you're
still like this when an angel decides to scrap a
city, who's gonna give me the big guns to kick there
asses" Chron grinned.
"Go to hell you pervert, don't even think about
scoring with me cuz I absolutly hate you." Kasumi
replied coldly.
"ME trying to score on YOU, HAHA, very funny demoness
from hell, why would ^I^ want to have YOU as a
girlfriend?"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!!" Kasumi stood up and threw a punch
at Chron even before he can protest.
"Ow..." Chron rubbed his shoulder where Kasumi punched
him, "You punch like a gorilla."
"The better to keep perverts like YOU away from me"
Chron rolled his eyes, "Come on, it's 10:20 already and
I have a early Sync test and some guy wants you to
sub in for them for just once, so he told me to tell
you."
Kasumi sighed, "Sure"
"Hey, do you know why the sudden Sync test??"
"How should I know?"
"Well I've been hearing rumors about a new pilot and
Eva"
"Really! Hope he won't be a big pervert, if he's a guy,
and hope she'll be the same size as me, if she's a girl!"
"Is guys being perverts and clothes all you can think
of?" Chron rasied one eye brow at Kasumi as he said that.
"Just let me go home so I can meet this new pilot if there
IS a new pilot tomorrow."
"Sure, don't want a person sleeping on the job when I
pass the 75% mark on my sync ratio"
"HA, that'll be the day."
"You just wait and see"
*******************************
"I'm gonna be late, I'm gonna be late" Chron and the two
others, Kensu and Kasumi, muttered as they dashed to the
command post and change room.
"My stop, gotta go" Chron waved and ran into the change
room.
"Yeah yeah." Kensu said as Chron made a turn, "Damnit, why
did I wait for you two??"
"I don't know?" Kasumi made a turn and reached the command
post, "We're here."
"Your late..." Commander Itsuko said frowning, "So I guess
you'll have to wait to meet the new pilot.. by the way,
where's Chron?"
"He's in the change room changing." Kensu said as he sat
down infront of his console, "WOW, is that the new Eva?"
Kasumi stared at it, "Yellow... I never thought the Eva
would look good in yellow."
Commander Itsuko grabed the mic and said into it, "Pilot,
are you ready to sync? Your to be partner would join you
soon enough, IF he ever get's into his plug suit."
"Sure, anytime!" came a cheerful voice.
"YES, a girl pilot" Kasumi cheered, "Now all she needs to
be is the same size as me and today would be perfect."
Everyone in the post rolled there eyes as Kasumi made that
remark, "What.. I need a shopping partner and the girls in
school are too interested other stuff."
"Filling Entry plug with LCL"
"I can NEVER get used to this stuff" The voice of the
pilot said.
"Well try to get used to it." The commander said with some
compassion, then to the technicians, "Start the neural
connections."
"Yes Ma'am."
"All green ma'am, Sync Ratio at 37% and rising"
"Wow 37%!! last time I tried it was only 36. something"
"Chron's here." Kensu said.
"Chron, get your butt into your Eva NOW" The commander
said with a irritated voice.
"Yes ma'am" Chron quickly jumped into his Eva for the Sync
Test.
"Filling Entry plug with LCL.... done.... Starting neural
connections..... done.... Sync Ratio at 72%"
"Just 3 more percents.. come on..." Chron muttered.
Few minutes passed by, the new pilot's Sync ratio has risen
to 40% while Chron's has only risen by 1.5%.
"I think this is enough for one day" Kensu said into the mic,
"Time to get out of there."
"And time to see if the new pilot has clothes I can wear!"
Kasumi grinned.
*******************************
Chron tries to get out of his Eva as quickly as possible
to meet his new partner, but like always, his luck isn't
with him until he despratly needs it, so in other words,
the new pilot is already in the change room.
*Damn, went in the girls change room, so she's a girl..
Wonder is she's good looking...*
Chron hit himself mentally, *If I keep thinking like that,
I'll become the pervert Kasumi sees me as!*
Chron took a shower to cleanse himself from the LCL and
changed into his blue T-shirt and jeans.
The first thing Chron heard when he walked near the door
to the hallways of NERV was Kasumi saying, "Oh man, she
isn't my size.."
"Well what do you expect.. you are fat and ugly, of
course she's not your size!" Chron said laughing as he
walked out of the change room.
"You DO realize that I send the weapons during an angel
attack, so unless you want me to 'accidentally' forgot
about your weapon, please don't say that" Kasumi said
with a sweet smile.
"Heh, like you would ever do that." Chron turned to
face his new partner.
"Hi, so YOUR the pilot behind that Eva," The girl
smiles at him, "Hi I'm Sakaru.. wow.. you look better
close up than you do from my Eva"
"Now now, kids, we mustn't flirt in base... wait til
we get out." Kensu grinned.
"Oh god.. what is this world coming to... she thinks
Chron is good looking" Kasumi hits her forehead.
"WHAT? he is good looking.. in a err... I dunno, he
reminds me of someone I knew" Sakaru frowned.
Kasumi looked at her, "You know, I think I've seen
you around before."
Sakaru jumped a bit, "Umm I just got to Tokyo 3 how
can you have seen me before."
Kasumi squinted her eyes and stared intently at her,
"I dunno...." after a few uncomfortable seconds,
Kasumi smiled, "I guess not after all."
"Weeeellll... let's just get outta here before the
Cafe is filled with too much people" Kensu said
after Kasumi stopped staring at Sakaru.
"Yeah, so Kasumi.. tell me, are you thinking of being
a lesbian.. cuz with the way yo-... aaccccckkkk"
Chron struggle to breath as Kasumi starts strangling
him.
"Hehehe, come on, he doesn't mean that.. right"
"Your lucky the newbie saved ya" Kasumi growled.
"*cough* thanks.." Chron scratched is head, "Where's
Kensu?"
"I think he went ahead." Sakaru shrugged.
"Well lets go!" Kasumi said dragging Sakaru along
with her.
*******************************
"What would you like?" the waitress asked the four
NERV employees.
"Coffee"
"Cocoa"
"Sprite"
"Lemon tea"
Kasumi looked at Sakaru as if she is trying to stare
holes into her.
"Hey, why ARE you staring at Sakaru like that" Kensu
whispered to Kasumi.
"She looks very familier... I think I've seen her in
this place before." Kasumi whispered back.
"One coffee, a cocoa, sprite and lemon tea..." The
waitress said while putting down the drinks.
"Thanks." Sakaru smiled at the waitress.
"Hey, aren't you just here few days ago with a
guy and a red head? you guys went out in a rush!"
"Errr... you musta mistaken me for someone else...
I just got here today... plus I have one of those
faces." Sakaru replied, a bit nervously too and
Kasumi saw the nervousness.
"A red head and a guy.. does the guy wear a white
shirt or something?" Chron asked while sipping his
cocoa.
"Yeah... he did.. I think" The waitress stood there
for a few seconds until her boss told her to take
another order.
"Wow, those two sounds like.. you know who." Kensu
said.
While the two guys are talking about 'you know who',
Kasumi handed Sakaru a note and silently told her
not to open it until later.
"SSSSOOOOOO, what are YOU TWO girls whispering about,
don't tell me that your really turning into a-"
"Don't even say it, this time, not even Sakaru can
stop me from ripping you to pieces." Kasumi glared
at Chron.
"Chron, your stupid you know that." Kensu said
while sipping his coffee, "But seriously, you have
to be more like Sakaru, more like a girl, not a
demon."
"THAT'S IT." Kasumi hit Kensu over the head.
"OW... see if I said that to Sakaru, she wouldn't
do that.. right." Kensu grinned at Sakaru.
"Umm.. actually I would" The new pilot blushed as
Kasumi continue to hit Kensu and Chron flinching
everytime Kasumi hit Kensu.
"So this is how NERV employees spent their day.."
Sakaru giggled.
"Oh yeah, Sakaru, you'll be attending school
starting tomorrow." Kensu said inbetween hits.
"Umm.. Kensu, tomorrow's a Sunday." Chron reminded
him.
"RRiiiiggghhhttt.... ok you start school the day
AFTER." Kensu rolled his eyes, "Unless the school
get's trashed by an angel attack."
"And that's what I'm trying to do, but the angel
never seems to go near the school." Chron said
jokingly.
*******************************
*At least he said something today... right?* Asuka
debated with herself, *But it wasn't him speaking..
he sound like... his father... well before we came
here anyways.. we ARE going to go back right?*
Asuka walked over to the kitchen to pour herself
a glass of water, *All this thinking is getting me
thirsty.. how does THAT happen...* She thought
about it for a few moments, *Oh god.. I'm turning
into Shinji... I'm thinking too much...*
Finally, Asuka walked to her favorite spot on the
couch and turned on the TV to watch some sappy
90's show. *At least this wi-*
The sirens cut off her thought.
"SHINJI.... ANGEL ATTACK!!"
Shinji walked out of this room with less than a
little enthusiasium and followed Asuka to the
Secret Branch.
*******************************
Kasumi groaned as she settled herself on her seat
while the two pilots get ready to sync and launch.
"Ok guys, here's the info we have" Kensu said
calmly to the pilots, "It's an angel, kill it so
we can all go and get some sleep."
"The always so resoursful NERV... always giving
us such USEFUL information." Chron groaned and
turned to see how Sakaru is doing, "Hey Sakaru,
you ok."
"Y-y-y-ya.. sure... heh.. no problem right.. you'll
be there to back me.."
"Pilot Nokoki's Sync isn't doing too well.. at 35%"
One of the technicians reported.
"Sakaru, try to bring your Sync up..." Kensu said.
"Ok I'll try.." Sakaru said as she closed her eyes.
"Sync steady at 39.23% sire"
"Good, that's good Sakaru, good job." Kensu smiled
kindly, but quickly reverted to his commanding face,
"Ok Chron, you go make the frontal assalte while Sakaru
provide cover fire, got it?"
"Got it!" Chron said giving a thumbs up.
"..."
"Ok Unit 15 and 22 launch!" Kensu yelled.
*******************************
Sakaru breathed heavily as she took her first step
in her Eva on Tokyo 3, *THIS is it...* Just as she
tries to prepare herself for the angel, it appears...
*What is THAT?* was the first thought Sakaru had when
she saw the mushroomed shaped angel.
"Pattern blue, that's the angel, not an oversized
mushroom" Kensu said over the comm, "Sakaru, go pick
up that rifle over there and start firing at the
Angel to get it's attention, then hopefully, Chron
would be able to get a clean shot with the partical
rifle at it."
"Got it," Sakaru said as she willed her Eva to to
towards the rifle.
"On my mark ,fire..." Kensu said, with a hint of
concern in his voice.
*Come on COME ON.... I'm getting more nervous by
the second.
"FIRE!"
Sakaru gritted her teeth as she pulled the trigger
of the rifle and showered the angel with clips after
clips of bullets.
"SAKARU, RETREAT!!" She hear Kensu shout.
"Huh? AAAAAAHHHHHHHH" The new pilot screamed in
pain as the bullets she fired came right back at her.
"SHIT, CHRON.. FIRE NOW"
Sakaru manage to get her Eva to stand back up in
time to see Unit 15 fall down.
"SHIT SAKARU, GET OUT OF THERE!"
Hearing that, she ran to take cover.
"Ok Sakaru... I want you to go for a close range assault,
do you think you can manage it?"
"Sure" She choked abit as she said the word but
knowing the fate of the world rest on her shoulder,
she agreed.
"Ok, use your Prog. Knife to make the assault, and don't
worry about power, your Eva's S2 angel should go online
when your external AND internal power goes."
"K.."
Taking in a deep breath of LCL, Sakaru willed her Eva
to charge towards the new angel, then suddenly, out of
nowhere, a red beam comes out from the angel and hits
Unit 22 right in the chest.
Cringing in pain Sakaru only manage to take one more glimpes
at the angel being bombarded by N2 mines before fainting.
*******************************
"WHAT!! THEY NEED OUR HELP!! LOOK AT THEM, THEY'RE
DEFEATED BY A MUSHROOM!! MEIN GOTT!!" Asuka practically
screamed at Gendo Ikari as she witness the defeat of the
two Evas.
"Like I said before Pilot Soryu, if you go, then they will
know about the secret branch and that is not acceptable."
"Great, the only chance we have to go home and we end up
dieing in the future." Asuka said sarcastically to Shinji,
who in turn just groans.
Asuka continue to watch as the UN drops a dozen of N2 mines
on the Angel to disable it, "So how much time till it
get's back on it's feet, or stem, or roots, or whatever?"
"The MAGI says we have 2 days until the Angel recovers."
"Great, two days til our doom...." Asuka sat down on a
chair.
"notyetnotyetnotyetnotyetnotyetNOT YET" Asuka jumped as
Shinji shouted the last 'Not yet'.
"Shinji what are you doing!" Asuka yelled at Shinji as
he walked out of the room.
"I'm going to the first branch." Shinji said plainly.
"You'll not go there unless you want to be killed." a voice
said.
"Daniel..." Shinji frowned, "They need help.. I'm helping
them.."
"You'll help them, just not in the way you're thinking of.."
Daniel walked out of hiding and faced Shinji.
"What do you mean?"
"You'll see.."
"I WANT TO KNOW NOW" Shinji eye's widen with anger as he
walked up to the self proclaimed 'owner' of NERV.
"You'll find out la-"
"THE HELL WITH YOU, I'M GOING BACK TO PILOT UNIT 01"
"I'm going too" Asuka said running after Shinji.
"Well Daniel, looks like your little plan didn't work
out as planed." Gendo said with a smile.
"Actually Ikari, it worked perfectly..."
Gendo Ikari stared at his companion's smile, he used to
use the same smile, but still, looking at it gives him
chills.
*******************************
"Security breach at main gate!" one of the Security
officers shouted.
"Does this sound familier to you, on the brick of
losing, we have a security breach at the MAIN GATE?"
Commander Itsuko was irritated, "Who could it be
no, Pilots from the future that uses the force to
kill angels?"
"Acutally, the same pilots that saved the future
couple of times."
The commander turned around and pinched herself
to make sure she's not dreaming or dead already.
"Oh my GOD, WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU TWO BEEN"
Shinji and Asuka stood at the door and shrugged,
"I guess the plan we had didn't work" Asuka lied
plainly and the commander took the lie.
"Well I hope it isn't too much to ask for your
help again."
"Been looking FOR some action." Asuka grinned
Shinji kept quite and walked towards the change rooms.
"Shinji, we still need to take Unit 01 and 02 out
of cryostatis... you'll have wait til it wakes up
for you to actually combat it.
Shinji nodded and sighed.
"Shinji, let's go home," Asuka looked as depressed
as Shinji as she saw his expression, "Commander, we
would appreciate it if you don't tell anyone about
us."
"Oh yeah.. welcome back" Patricia Itsuko tried to
smile.
"We're not back." Shinji simply said.
"Lets go Shinji." Asuka dragged Shinji along with her.
Why can't I go home so I don't need to face this
anymore...
Asuka heard Shinji's thoughts once more as she
dragged him with her.
*I know what you mean....*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Is Shinji gonna hide from Kasumi?? nope..
Is Shinji gonna battle the angel next chapter?? nope.
So what is gonna happen next chapter you ask... well
I'll tell ya, Shinji is gonna stay in his room and
Asuka is gonna kick some Kasumi butt.. NOT.. well ok
not excatly kick Kasumi's butt, but... just alot of
'verbal sparring'.
And I'm also Sorry about the short chapter.. I can't
seem to make it any longer.. hmmm....
Anyways, til next time see ya
are just around the corner, I want to kill
myself cuz it's the finals.. what can I say.
Well I'm glad you guys are enjoying this
fic and I'm more glad that IT'S ALMOST
SUMMER!!... but.. I have summer school. heh
-_-"
Well just in case you need one, here's a
quicky on what happened.

"YOU'VE BEEN THIS WAY FOR 5 DAYS!! 5 GOD DAMNED DAYS

"DAMN YOU" Asuka stormed out of the room.
But DO I love you?
Asuka heard the voice again, his thoughts, the

*What does she mean?* Shinji stared at the same

True to her word, Kasumi has waited for Shinji to

Kasumi shook her head as if to get the thought from
her head.
*I'll wait, just like I promised.. I'll wait*
It is 10:12 and Kasumi sat at the bench staring at
the sky.
"Kasumi?"
"Chron? what are YOU doing here?" Kasumi said to the
pilot without looking at him.
"Well what are YOU doing here?" Chron sat down beside
Kasumi.
"Waiting...."
"Don't tell me, price charming told you to wait for
him here at 10 and he still hasn't come?"
"...."
"Oh come on, your my weapon dispatcher, if you're
still like this when an angel decides to scrap a
city, who's gonna give me the big guns to kick there
asses" Chron grinned.
"Go to hell you pervert, don't even think about
scoring with me cuz I absolutly hate you." Kasumi
replied coldly.
"ME trying to score on YOU, HAHA, very funny demoness
from hell, why would ^I^ want to have YOU as a

"The better to keep perverts like YOU away from me"
Chron rolled his eyes, "Come on, it's 10:20 already and
I have a early Sync test and some guy wants you to
sub in for them for just once, so he told me to tell
you."
Kasumi sighed, "Sure"
"Hey, do you know why the sudden Sync test??"
"How should I know?"
"Well I've been hearing rumors about a new pilot and
Eva"
"Really! Hope he won't be a big pervert, if he's a guy,
and hope she'll be the same size as me, if she's a girl!"
"Is guys being perverts and clothes all you can think
of?" Chron rasied one eye brow at Kasumi as he said that.
"Just let me go home so I can meet this new pilot if there
IS a new pilot tomorrow."
"Sure, don't want a person sleeping on the job when I
pass the 75% mark on my sync ratio"
"HA, that'll be the day."
"You just wait and see"
*******************************
"I'm gonna be late, I'm gonna be late" Chron and the two
others, Kensu and Kasumi, muttered as they dashed to the
command post and change room.
"My stop, gotta go" Chron waved and ran into the change
room.
"Yeah yeah." Kensu said as Chron made a turn, "Damnit, why
did I wait for you two??"
"I don't know?" Kasumi made a turn and reached the command
post, "We're here."
"Your late..." Commander Itsuko said frowning, "So I guess
you'll have to wait to meet the new pilot.. by the way,
where's Chron?"
"He's in the change room changing." Kensu said as he sat
down infront of his console, "WOW, is that the new Eva?"
Kasumi stared at it, "Yellow... I never thought the Eva
would look good in yellow."
Commander Itsuko grabed the mic and said into it, "Pilot,
are you ready to sync? Your to be partner would join you
soon enough, IF he ever get's into his plug suit."
"Sure, anytime!" came a cheerful voice.
"YES, a girl pilot" Kasumi cheered, "Now all she needs to
be is the same size as me and today would be perfect."
Everyone in the post rolled there eyes as Kasumi made that
remark, "What.. I need a shopping partner and the girls in
school are too interested other stuff."
"Filling Entry plug with LCL"
"I can NEVER get used to this stuff" The voice of the
pilot said.
"Well try to get used to it." The commander said with some
compassion, then to the technicians, "Start the neural
connections."
"Yes Ma'am."
"All green ma'am, Sync Ratio at 37% and rising"
"Wow 37%!! last time I tried it was only 36. something"
"Chron's here." Kensu said.
"Chron, get your butt into your Eva NOW" The commander
said with a irritated voice.
"Yes ma'am" Chron quickly jumped into his Eva for the Sync
Test.
"Filling Entry plug with LCL.... done.... Starting neural
connections..... done.... Sync Ratio at 72%"
"Just 3 more percents.. come on..." Chron muttered.
Few minutes passed by, the new pilot's Sync ratio has risen
to 40% while Chron's has only risen by 1.5%.
"I think this is enough for one day" Kensu said into the mic,
"Time to get out of there."
"And time to see if the new pilot has clothes I can wear!"
Kasumi grinned.
*******************************
Chron tries to get out of his Eva as quickly as possible
to meet his new partner, but like always, his luck isn't
with him until he despratly needs it, so in other words,
the new pilot is already in the change room.
*Damn, went in the girls change room, so she's a girl..
Wonder is she's good looking...*
Chron hit himself mentally, *If I keep thinking like that,
I'll become the pervert Kasumi sees me as!*
Chron took a shower to cleanse himself from the LCL and
changed into his blue T-shirt and jeans.
The first thing Chron heard when he walked near the door
to the hallways of NERV was Kasumi saying, "Oh man, she
isn't my size.."
"Well what do you expect.. you are fat and ugly, of
course she's not your size!" Chron said laughing as he
walked out of the change room.
"You DO realize that I send the weapons during an angel
attack, so unless you want me to 'accidentally' forgot
about your weapon, please don't say that" Kasumi said
with a sweet smile.
"Heh, like you would ever do that." Chron turned to
face his new partner.
"Hi, so YOUR the pilot behind that Eva," The girl
smiles at him, "Hi I'm Sakaru.. wow.. you look better
close up than you do from my Eva"
"Now now, kids, we mustn't flirt in base... wait til
we get out." Kensu grinned.
"Oh god.. what is this world coming to... she thinks
Chron is good looking" Kasumi hits her forehead.
"WHAT? he is good looking.. in a err... I dunno, he
reminds me of someone I knew" Sakaru frowned.
Kasumi looked at her, "You know, I think I've seen
you around before."
Sakaru jumped a bit, "Umm I just got to Tokyo 3 how
can you have seen me before."
Kasumi squinted her eyes and stared intently at her,
"I dunno...." after a few uncomfortable seconds,
Kasumi smiled, "I guess not after all."
"Weeeellll... let's just get outta here before the
Cafe is filled with too much people" Kensu said
after Kasumi stopped staring at Sakaru.
"Yeah, so Kasumi.. tell me, are you thinking of being
a lesbian.. cuz with the way yo-... aaccccckkkk"
Chron struggle to breath as Kasumi starts strangling
him.
"Hehehe, come on, he doesn't mean that.. right"
"Your lucky the newbie saved ya" Kasumi growled.
"*cough* thanks.." Chron scratched is head, "Where's
Kensu?"
"I think he went ahead." Sakaru shrugged.
"Well lets go!" Kasumi said dragging Sakaru along
with her.
*******************************
"What would you like?" the waitress asked the four
NERV employees.
"Coffee"
"Cocoa"
"Sprite"
"Lemon tea"
Kasumi looked at Sakaru as if she is trying to stare
holes into her.
"Hey, why ARE you staring at Sakaru like that" Kensu
whispered to Kasumi.
"She looks very familier... I think I've seen her in
this place before." Kasumi whispered back.
"One coffee, a cocoa, sprite and lemon tea..." The
waitress said while putting down the drinks.
"Thanks." Sakaru smiled at the waitress.
"Hey, aren't you just here few days ago with a
guy and a red head? you guys went out in a rush!"
"Errr... you musta mistaken me for someone else...
I just got here today... plus I have one of those
faces." Sakaru replied, a bit nervously too and
Kasumi saw the nervousness.
"A red head and a guy.. does the guy wear a white
shirt or something?" Chron asked while sipping his
cocoa.
"Yeah... he did.. I think" The waitress stood there
for a few seconds until her boss told her to take
another order.
"Wow, those two sounds like.. you know who." Kensu
said.
While the two guys are talking about 'you know who',
Kasumi handed Sakaru a note and silently told her
not to open it until later.
"SSSSOOOOOO, what are YOU TWO girls whispering about,
don't tell me that your really turning into a-"
"Don't even say it, this time, not even Sakaru can
stop me from ripping you to pieces." Kasumi glared
at Chron.
"Chron, your stupid you know that." Kensu said
while sipping his coffee, "But seriously, you have
to be more like Sakaru, more like a girl, not a
demon."
"THAT'S IT." Kasumi hit Kensu over the head.
"OW... see if I said that to Sakaru, she wouldn't
do that.. right." Kensu grinned at Sakaru.
"Umm.. actually I would" The new pilot blushed as
Kasumi continue to hit Kensu and Chron flinching
everytime Kasumi hit Kensu.
"So this is how NERV employees spent their day.."
Sakaru giggled.
"Oh yeah, Sakaru, you'll be attending school
starting tomorrow." Kensu said inbetween hits.
"Umm.. Kensu, tomorrow's a Sunday." Chron reminded
him.
"RRiiiiggghhhttt.... ok you start school the day
AFTER." Kensu rolled his eyes, "Unless the school
get's trashed by an angel attack."
"And that's what I'm trying to do, but the angel
never seems to go near the school." Chron said
jokingly.
*******************************
*At least he said something today... right?* Asuka
debated with herself, *But it wasn't him speaking..
he sound like... his father... well before we came
here anyways.. we ARE going to go back right?*
Asuka walked over to the kitchen to pour herself
a glass of water, *All this thinking is getting me
thirsty.. how does THAT happen...* She thought
about it for a few moments, *Oh god.. I'm turning
into Shinji... I'm thinking too much...*
Finally, Asuka walked to her favorite spot on the
couch and turned on the TV to watch some sappy
90's show. *At least this wi-*
The sirens cut off her thought.
"SHINJI.... ANGEL ATTACK!!"
Shinji walked out of this room with less than a
little enthusiasium and followed Asuka to the
Secret Branch.
*******************************
Kasumi groaned as she settled herself on her seat
while the two pilots get ready to sync and launch.
"Ok guys, here's the info we have" Kensu said
calmly to the pilots, "It's an angel, kill it so
we can all go and get some sleep."
"The always so resoursful NERV... always giving
us such USEFUL information." Chron groaned and
turned to see how Sakaru is doing, "Hey Sakaru,
you ok."
"Y-y-y-ya.. sure... heh.. no problem right.. you'll
be there to back me.."
"Pilot Nokoki's Sync isn't doing too well.. at 35%"
One of the technicians reported.
"Sakaru, try to bring your Sync up..." Kensu said.
"Ok I'll try.." Sakaru said as she closed her eyes.
"Sync steady at 39.23% sire"
"Good, that's good Sakaru, good job." Kensu smiled
kindly, but quickly reverted to his commanding face,
"Ok Chron, you go make the frontal assalte while Sakaru
provide cover fire, got it?"
"Got it!" Chron said giving a thumbs up.
"..."
"Ok Unit 15 and 22 launch!" Kensu yelled.
*******************************
Sakaru breathed heavily as she took her first step
in her Eva on Tokyo 3, *THIS is it...* Just as she
tries to prepare herself for the angel, it appears...
*What is THAT?* was the first thought Sakaru had when
she saw the mushroomed shaped angel.
"Pattern blue, that's the angel, not an oversized
mushroom" Kensu said over the comm, "Sakaru, go pick
up that rifle over there and start firing at the
Angel to get it's attention, then hopefully, Chron
would be able to get a clean shot with the partical
rifle at it."
"Got it," Sakaru said as she willed her Eva to to
towards the rifle.
"On my mark ,fire..." Kensu said, with a hint of
concern in his voice.
*Come on COME ON.... I'm getting more nervous by
the second.
"FIRE!"
Sakaru gritted her teeth as she pulled the trigger
of the rifle and showered the angel with clips after
clips of bullets.
"SAKARU, RETREAT!!" She hear Kensu shout.
"Huh? AAAAAAHHHHHHHH" The new pilot screamed in
pain as the bullets she fired came right back at her.
"SHIT, CHRON.. FIRE NOW"
Sakaru manage to get her Eva to stand back up in
time to see Unit 15 fall down.
"SHIT SAKARU, GET OUT OF THERE!"
Hearing that, she ran to take cover.
"Ok Sakaru... I want you to go for a close range assault,
do you think you can manage it?"
"Sure" She choked abit as she said the word but
knowing the fate of the world rest on her shoulder,
she agreed.
"Ok, use your Prog. Knife to make the assault, and don't
worry about power, your Eva's S2 angel should go online
when your external AND internal power goes."
"K.."
Taking in a deep breath of LCL, Sakaru willed her Eva
to charge towards the new angel, then suddenly, out of
nowhere, a red beam comes out from the angel and hits
Unit 22 right in the chest.
Cringing in pain Sakaru only manage to take one more glimpes
at the angel being bombarded by N2 mines before fainting.
*******************************
"WHAT!! THEY NEED OUR HELP!! LOOK AT THEM, THEY'RE
DEFEATED BY A MUSHROOM!! MEIN GOTT!!" Asuka practically
screamed at Gendo Ikari as she witness the defeat of the
two Evas.
"Like I said before Pilot Soryu, if you go, then they will
know about the secret branch and that is not acceptable."
"Great, the only chance we have to go home and we end up
dieing in the future." Asuka said sarcastically to Shinji,
who in turn just groans.
Asuka continue to watch as the UN drops a dozen of N2 mines
on the Angel to disable it, "So how much time till it
get's back on it's feet, or stem, or roots, or whatever?"
"The MAGI says we have 2 days until the Angel recovers."
"Great, two days til our doom...." Asuka sat down on a
chair.
"notyetnotyetnotyetnotyetnotyetNOT YET" Asuka jumped as
Shinji shouted the last 'Not yet'.
"Shinji what are you doing!" Asuka yelled at Shinji as
he walked out of the room.
"I'm going to the first branch." Shinji said plainly.
"You'll not go there unless you want to be killed." a voice
said.
"Daniel..." Shinji frowned, "They need help.. I'm helping
them.."
"You'll help them, just not in the way you're thinking of.."
Daniel walked out of hiding and faced Shinji.
"What do you mean?"
"You'll see.."
"I WANT TO KNOW NOW" Shinji eye's widen with anger as he
walked up to the self proclaimed 'owner' of NERV.
"You'll find out la-"
"THE HELL WITH YOU, I'M GOING BACK TO PILOT UNIT 01"
"I'm going too" Asuka said running after Shinji.
"Well Daniel, looks like your little plan didn't work
out as planed." Gendo said with a smile.
"Actually Ikari, it worked perfectly..."
Gendo Ikari stared at his companion's smile, he used to
use the same smile, but still, looking at it gives him
chills.
*******************************
"Security breach at main gate!" one of the Security
officers shouted.
"Does this sound familier to you, on the brick of
losing, we have a security breach at the MAIN GATE?"
Commander Itsuko was irritated, "Who could it be
no, Pilots from the future that uses the force to
kill angels?"
"Acutally, the same pilots that saved the future
couple of times."
The commander turned around and pinched herself
to make sure she's not dreaming or dead already.
"Oh my GOD, WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU TWO BEEN"
Shinji and Asuka stood at the door and shrugged,
"I guess the plan we had didn't work" Asuka lied
plainly and the commander took the lie.
"Well I hope it isn't too much to ask for your
help again."
"Been looking FOR some action." Asuka grinned
Shinji kept quite and walked towards the change rooms.
"Shinji, we still need to take Unit 01 and 02 out
of cryostatis... you'll have wait til it wakes up
for you to actually combat it.
Shinji nodded and sighed.
"Shinji, let's go home," Asuka looked as depressed
as Shinji as she saw his expression, "Commander, we
would appreciate it if you don't tell anyone about
us."
"Oh yeah.. welcome back" Patricia Itsuko tried to
smile.
"We're not back." Shinji simply said.
"Lets go Shinji." Asuka dragged Shinji along with her.
Why can't I go home so I don't need to face this
anymore...
Asuka heard Shinji's thoughts once more as she
dragged him with her.
*I know what you mean....*
