Flash back "The birth of Beelzebuth or Shinji"
Time stopped and everything seemed okay. The angels of heaven and the demons of hell stood in awe. Two children stood at the center. If you would take the time to look, you'd see them both in deep thought, or somewhat confused.
"As you say dear God, or should I say Goddess?"
"My dear adversary, God or Goddess, I'm still me."
"Why do you call me that?"
"Because you question me."
"Is that a good or a bad thing?"
The little girl smiles and slowly relaxes her shoulders.
"It doesn't matter, it is something that I made sure you'd have."
The boy looks at himself.
"What am I?"
"You're Shinji, that is your name."
"And what do I call you?"
"Rei, my name is Rei."
"You're still my God."
"I always will be, but I gave you half of my power."
"Why?"
"Call it vanity, I want to share my creation with you."
"I'm the dark force… you call change."
"That you are Shinji… someone who instills change, someone who makes people think for themselves, it's the hardest path that will glorify humanity."
"Am I a God too?"
Rei ponders the thought… and pokes the boy on the nose.
"There, now you are."
"What did you do?"
"I made you my equal, I won't be able to take my power from you or un-create you."
"Why would you do that?"
"Even though I am God, Shinji… I'm still me and I'm alone."
End of flash back
Shinji smiles… as if he was awakening from a dream. Beside him lay Rei and wuffles was cuddling into her bosom.
The professor was driving… a car they stole in order to find the magi's. The thought made him uneasy but… he still was young, or so he thought.
A familiar face was looking back at him, silent and afraid… someone he used to know, she looked so familiar. He closed his eyes and drifted into the darkness. Into the realm of dreams.
