DISCLAIMER: Arisha Kyra is my creation, as also LEAHKIM, but all the elements of Evangelion are owned by Gainax.

ANOTHER DISCLAIMER: Since my story after this chapter will be not really the same with Z.O.E. from this point, I won't write this disclaimer anymore. I don't own Z.O.E.

ANNOUNCEMENT: I appreciate every of single review for my works, so I will review yours also (the latest one), and I'll guarantee to review it, even it's not my favorite. So, please review mine and I'll review yours, so we can be better together.

FOR REVIEWER:

To Rusty Knight Two: thanks for your review, it really influence me to write more, oh by the way, I really want to use the story of Z.O.E. 1, not 2, but I think those opening stories are the same huh… Okay, for second day Shinji will appear, but in next chapter, but he will have the great role, that's my plan from the start.

DAY 2: Asuka and Shinji

Part 1: The Childhood friend. . .

Arisha gets up from her sleep the next day; the tiredness seems to leave her. LEAHKIM just also has replenished itself, but the panel of NOA still giving no sign of activity. The silent moments seem so nostalgic, since the situation lately was always full of battles and destruction.

"Good morning," said NOA as the panel blinks.

"Oh, yeah, good morning for you too, NOA," Arisha replies.

Arisha's Point of View:

I still cannot believe this happening so fast… the destruction of my home just… too suddenly. What am I doing now… or, what is it that I must do now…

My home…I nearly forgetting it… what has happened to them… my family… all my friends… I must… do there.

End of Arisha's Point of View

"NOA, could you go to Sector XY-2920?" Arisha asks.

"Sector XY-2920… It is a residential sector, right?" NOA replies.

"Yes,… there's my home," she answers.

"All right, we are gong to fly out from this area…

Confirming target area… Sector XY-2920," NOA comply.

Then, LEAHKIM starts the engine, and after that the ANGEL sets fly from the area… rushing to the residential sector.

Not long after, LEAHKIM arrives at the destination sector. With cautious movement, LEAHKIM lands to the ground of a hill.

The scenery makes Arisha gasps. In front of her lies a city that has been wiped out almost completely. The smokes from the battles still can be seen from the broken houses and buildings. So many corpses scattered through the destroyed city.

Arisha weeps, cannot resist her sadness, seeing after her broken homeland.

"NOA, are there remnants here?" she asks NOA.

A beep coming from NOA, seems his searching module starts up, attempts to search the entire city for remnants.

"Target found. There is one remnant deep inside the city," NOA replies.

Arisha stops weeping, then she asks NOA for the direction of the remnant.

"I'll show the remnant on the monitor," NOA tells.

Arisha gasps again, on the monitor she sees a girl running inside the city, trying to escape from a humanoid mechanical weapon that chasing after her. For a while she seems to recognize the girl…

"NOA, let's drive LEAHKIM there, we must save her," Arisha commands.

Then LEAHKIM starts flying to the target. Inside the city lies several mechanical weapons scattered around, but Arisha tells NOA to leave them even they attempts to shoot LEAHKIM.

After LEAHKIM gets near the chased girl, Arisha commands LEAHKIM to land between the girl and the weapon. LEAHKIM stands before the mechanical weapon that attempts to attack him.

"NOA, let's go!" Arisha yells.

NOA activates the sword module of LEAHKIM, and then a beam sword formed through the hand of LEAHKIM. The ANGEL boosts nearing the mechanical weapon, then use its beam sword to slash the mechanical weapon.

In response of the attack, the mechanical weapon defends the attack with its hand, then attempts to counters. Seeing that, NOA makes LEAHKIM to dodge the attack by move backward. While boosting backward, LEAHKIM shoots the mechanical weapon, hitting it perfectly.

"OK, now!" Arisha yells, then LEAHKIM boosts to the mechanical weapon, slashing it, as well as destroying the mechanical weapon to explode.

After the battle, LEAHKIM turns to the girl, then Arisha makes LEAHKIM to positions lower, so Arisha could comes out from the cockpit, and she jumps to the knee. A silent moment after, Arisha could really recognize the girl…

"Asuka… so you are still alive," she yells excitedly.

End of Part 1: The Childhood Friend…

PREVIEW

Asuka tells Arisha what really happens, and a new type of EVA risen up…

Then, it's Asuka's turn to show up. She is not an EVA's runner in this fic. And, somehow I think her personalize will not be the same as seen in the movie. Just let's see the next chapter…

Please read and review, I'll update as soon as possible. Thank you.

CHARACTER CHECK- ARISHA KYRA

I guess I mess it up with Arisha's description, so I'll describe her here:

She is 162-cm height, has the blue azure eyes, she has shoulder-length blonde hair.

Her face is cute, and she doesn't talk much, and hardly express her feeling, but emotion got drawn well from her face. OK, that's her.
