Afternoon everybody! I would just like to say something before any attempts are made at my life are made notices a few people are holding up guns and begins to sweat first of all I would like to apologise to the people who have waited EXTREMELY patiently for my update (which has taken over a year to get out) and that if you are displeased with me and/ or the update even in the slightest then send me an e-mail worthy of making me soil myself to my new e-mail address doubts he should have said that I would also like to say that this chapter is basically a retelling of episode one with a few "tweaks" added for good measure…anyways I better get this update and MANY more done to make up for the very long wait
Disclaimer; I have never owned NGE or nor will I ever, because if I did I would probably would have Misato give me a back massage drools slightly at the thought of extra curricular activities ON WITH THE SHOW!
Tokyo 2- 2004The sky cried silently, as water drizzled over the metropolis of technology and man; people ran for shelter as the tears of Mother Nature washed over the city. The heavens wept not for the loss of half of the human species, not due to the knowledge that mankind was nearing it's end, but because of what was happening at that particular moment. Everyone was inside, safe and warm except for two people, a boy and his father. Both were deeply scarred with the loss of a loved one…both was meant to change the course of mankind….
"Get away from me petulant child" whispered the father, although the child could clearly hear him through the relentless assault of gentle tears. The father's features were set in stone, as his face showed no trace of pain and malice; his attire suited that of a man whose job was to destroy hope and happiness, as his black coat whipped around him ominously and his eyes were colder and emptier then a hollow dome. He gazed at the child before him with nothing but an impassive stare…he didn't want to look after such a freak of humanity…for the child wasn't even human the father dropped a bag, containing al of the child's possessions and walked away
"Daddy please don't leave me!" wept the boy. For his age he was rather tall and his features portrayed that he was going to turn into a handsome boy as he grew up, for his short brown hair seemed unruly and untameable, even with the rain mercilessly pounding against his head; his face was soft and gentle, maintaining the innocence of a little boy, but his eyes were the most endearing part of him, as they shone a brilliant midnight blue, even in the rain. He gazed at his father and tried to catch up to as he ran towards him, but fell over and damaged his leg. The boy wept even harder and screamed at the top of his lungs "FATHER!"
Tokyo 3- 10 years laterHe pulled himself out of that horrible memory, as lately he had nightmares of the day his father abandoned him, how his guardians found him in the pouring rain with a damaged leg and took him straight home, smacking him for getting blood on the carpet and sending him straight to his new room without any food. He didn't need to relive his past while he was awake, as he did enough of it while he was asleep. The weather today was unusual to say the least, as there were dark storm clouds over the boy's head but there was no rain or thunderstorms in sight, and there were howling winds yet no sign of hurricanes or tornadoes. He went towards a phone booth to contact his ride when he heard sirens blazing around him and a message "Today at 12:30pm, a special state of emergency is being declared for the entire central Kanto region, with the Tokai district at the epicentre, please evacuate to your nearest shelter…I repeat" he tried the phone booth and put the receiver back down "Well that does explain the phones and the lack of people" for as the boy looked around him, he saw empty cars being left in the middle of the road, bags of shopping on the floor having being dropped haphazardly on the floor and allowing their contents to ooze all over the pavement. The city resembled a ghost town he had once seen in a pre-second impact horror movie once, as there were no people around and no sign of life.
The boy himself was rather tall for the age of 14, reaching an impressive 6foot height while his eyes shone the magnificent blue that they always have, since the day of his birth. Otherwise he appeared to be normal with a skinny frame and a meek composure, pertaining the outer appearance of a person who wasn't very good at socialising. He looked down at the picture he got with his father's invitation, and blushed softly at the image of the beautiful woman in the picture, although it would be more accurate to say that 60 of his blood was rushing into his face.
Before he could comment on the might fine "view" he was being given, he felt a shiver run down his spine as if he was being watched. He quickly turned around to see a pretty girl, round about his age with short azure hair, staring right at him with her deep crimson eyes, as if trying to penetrate the deepest pits of his soul and discover who he truly is. As he made a step towards her he heard a violent explosion right behind and saw something, which terrified him to the bones….
No more then 500feet away was a monstrosity of nature, a being the size of a skyscraper walking gracefully, his bird-like face being attached to its chest and having what appeared to be black lances where it's elbows should be. It continued to walk onwards, ignoring the countless UN planes and choppers and letting bombardment after bombardment of missiles hit it squarely in the chest, where a red orb shone with an ethereal glow and pulsated, just like a human heart. The beast contained to walk and ignored the army's attempts to destroy it as if they were nothing more then insects and casually waved one of his limbs, a grotesque abomination of a hand with 3 claws for fingers, each the length of a bus and dragged a hand down the air in front of it, as if trying to tear the very space before it. Before the boy could even think to question the beast's actions he felt the howling winds pick up strength making it almost impossible to stand on his own two feet and noticed that the UN machinery were also having difficulty maintaining their position. A horrible wailing pierced the very atmosphere and saw what seemed to be a rip in the air, crackling dark lighting with red and black energy swirling menacingly around the tear and witnessed what appeared to be at least 20 miniature copies of the beast but had wings and were the size of normal people, shooting out of the rift and staring at the being which brought them here. The beast's eyes, or what appeared to be it's eyes light up a dark red and pointed it's right arm towards the UN planes and choppers, and before the UN could even respond, the mini beasts began to rip and tear at the machines, causing countless explosions in mid-air, just like a fireworks show only instead of beautiful multi-coloured sparks, bodies and limbs were descending gracelessly with crimson rain not fair behind.
The boy watched as a wreckage of one of the UN planes landing no 10feet away from him and turned around in time to quickly see a car zooming right in front of him, with the beautiful lady who he had been waiting for, for 40minutes in the drivers seat, obviously either an amateur driver or a nutter…the boy didn't want to guess which one and heard her faintly say over the explosions before jumping in the passenger seat "sorry about being late, had to get my hair just right". As the boy shut the door firmly behind him, he felt the car lurch forward, signalling they were already going at 3 times the normal speed limit away from the scene of pure carnage, as the UN tried to repel the mini beasts and were quickly failing as their numbers were rapidly falling due the agility and strength of the demonic beings, allowing the monstrosity of nature to continue it's steady pace in the direction which the car was headed. "Just what are those things?2 whispered the boy in awe as he could still hear the explosions after 20minutes of insane driving
"The main one is known as an angel…. the mini one's are unknown to us still, but are somehow linked to the angel"
"ANGEL! As in messengers of God kind of Angel?" shouted the boy, obviously blown away with the information, as opposed to the idea of such demonic atrocities being named after creatures of light and purity…
"well not exactly messengers of God anymore…"whispered the lady in a furtive tone, before changing into an extremely bouncy and playful tone "HEY THERE MY NAME IS MISATO KATSURAGI, BUT YOU CAN CALL ME MASTER IF YOU WANT" winking playfully and smiling wickedly as the boy blushed while trying to hide his mini tent, due to the thought of being at the mercy of this ravishing woman
"hello miss Katsuragi...m-m-my name is Shinji Ikari and KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD" screaming his head off and pointing at the impending car right in front of them
"Oops sorry Shinji-kun" smiled Misato as she lazily span the driving wheel, causing the car to rapidly swerve and miss impending death by inches "just where did you learn to drive?" asked Shinji with what could have been considered a sly smile, if it wasn't for the fact that for the next 10minutes he was very close to pissing himself 3 times in a row, teaching him a valuable lesson…NEVER PISS A CHICK OFF!
"Hey Miss Katsuragi…
"Just Misato is fine Mr Ikari" she winked playfully at him, expecting Shinji to blush intensely
"Why are the remaining UN planes flying away?" Misato unnaturally quickly span the car around to face the fleeing reinforcements, and noticed a brilliant star falling from the heavens
"SHINJI GET DOWN!" Misato maternally pounced on Shinji in an effort to protect him, not realising that in pouncing on Shinji, she had fulfilled what many men would consider to be the perfect beginning to a steamy session. All Shinji remembered next, besides the feel of Misato's…. assets was hearing an immense explosion, violent screeching and feeling the car being flipped no less then fifteen times. Shinji opened his eyes to see a mushroom rising from the area where the falling star had landed while hearing Misato whisper subconsciously "the UN are such fools… they should know that an N2 mine won't kill the angel… unless they were trying to destroy the smaller creatures, I wonder what's happening at HQ" "was she serious?" thought Shinji "how could the angel survive while being at the epicentre of the blast?"
NERV HQ- present time"Did you see that Gendo Ikari? Shouted one of the generals, sitting in a raised platform with four other generals. The one that shouted appeared to be the youngest, who seemed no younger then his early 30's, with his features showing that he used no restraint in his voice to express how proud he was with what they had achieved… something which was meant to be impossible "THAT'S the power of our N2 mines" he sneered widely " we have no need for YOUR evas" placing a great amount of emphasis on the word "your" "will you sit down borace!" whispered the one beside him, who seemed to what people would expect to have a general look like "you're making a complete prat of yourself"
"No I will not sit!" shouted the young insubordinate, who harboured a great hatred for the commander of NERV, like all people. "You… Gendo Ikari" pointing and shaking violently at the man sat in front of him, even though the commander's back was turned "have complained from the very beginning that the UN's weaponry would be no match for the angels…well look how wrong you….."
"Continuing radio-wave interference from the explosion sir…we're still waiting for target destruct confirmation" shouted a male technician from his station, his face illuminated by different colours while his fingers moved swiftly along the keyboard in front of him
"surely you jest? With a blast of that magnitude, can there be any doubt?" firmly stated Borace, who was beginning to visibly calm down, in the full knowledge that he had proven Gendo Ikari wrong, even though no-one payed attention to him when he asked his rhetorical question.
A loud beeping noise, on the monitor in front of everyone's view, proved to all that what seemed logically impossible had occurred "We have high energy readings from ground zero!" shouted the same technician from earlier "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE" shouted Borace, pure disbelief evident within his voice while Gendo Ikari, merely allowed a ghost of a victorious smile on his face, as it disappeared quicker then it appeared. On the monitor in front on everyone on the bridge, a grotesque picture of the angel in a twisted fetal position, its arms lightly singed and his face leaking with purple blood, although on the whole undamaged, with it's miniature copies continously circling it, appearing to be no more damaged then the angel.
The entire crew gasped in horror as the angel tore a second hole in the sky, the same dark lighting with the same shimmer of twisted power revolving around the tear. The mini angels swooped into the hole, and before the deck's very eyes, the angel began to heal all the damage I had suffered, and yet it appeared even stronger then before as now the angel's arms were swelling with muscle and the face gaining a mouth with powerful scissor-like teeth. The angel howled in ecstasy as thunder and lightening began to circle the beast, like a protective ring and effectively destroying anything around it.
"Damn it! We used our ultimate trump card! Sacrificed a whole city for nothing!"
"This is no angel…."softly spoke the general beside Borace
The general on the opposite end of Borace slammed his fist maddeningly into the desk "it's a demon" the jabbering of the generals was broken with the ringing of a phone, with the general in the middle who hadn't said a single word up until now picking up the phone and nodding his head once, exposing his thin and greying hair, evidently beginning the oldest one "understood" was all that could be heard before the phone was placed back on the receiver and the eldest general spoke with a tone of melancholy and finality "we had word from HQ that operation control is being transferred to NERV……I'll be frank Ikari, our services have been completely undermined with the threat of the angels" the general paused and saw the commander of NERV swivel in his seat and faced the eldest general "do you honestly believe you can succeed in a situation where the UN has failed magnificently?
The response was immediate, as Gendo stood to his full height, pushed his infamous tinted glasses all the way up the bridge of his nose and spoke very clearly "This is the sole reason why NERV exists general"
Back on the surface
A horrible silence fell over the car as thunder and lighting began to fall purposefully from the heavens, surrounding the angel with what appeared to be a protective barrier, allowing it to regenerate at a comfortable pace. Shinji could only watch on, as the city was being relentlessly torn apart, as the lighting grew to violent levels and began to randomly lash out at the city, destroying anything within it's path. Suddenly Shinji tried to fight something deep within him…. Something that greatly scared him, as he wanted to face this "angel" head on and kill it, remove its spirit and send it to the deepest pits of Tartoras…but he was only human, how could he kill an angel?
"Hey kiddo…cheer up" Misato smiled weakly and was found to have a lone tear in her eye, possibly thinking the same thing that Shinji was…as he had heard screams coming from where the lighting had been striking "here read up" Misato threw Shinji a black entombed book with red tape around it, preventing it from being opened with big black letters "FOR YOUR EYES ONLY" "NERV… my father's organization, I bet he only called me because he needs me for something" Shinji adopted a sneer that made him appear malicious and unforgiving and remembered why he originally came "looks like you don't get on with your father too…you're a lot like me" she laughed angelically. Shinji couldn't help but notice how beautiful she looked when she smiled and laughed honestly…it wasn't fake or flirtatious…it was the real her he was seeing. "Hey Misato… do you know why my father has summoned here and now? When we're under attack from angels" Shinji found it very difficult to call them angels, for some reason feeling a great injustice; for the first time Misato seemed completely caught off-guard and spoke with what appeared to be pure honesty "I… don't know Shinji" she smiled softly and started to take off her earrings, although she didn't look any less beautiful "maybe you should ask him for yourself"
All thoughts of Misato were wiped clean from Shinji's mind as he saw the elevator which the blue Renault was being hoisted on, was coming to a light at the end of a long tunnel and suddenly, his eyes were full to the brim of technology and nature being entwined in such a beautiful fashion, as a steel pyramid engraved with NERV's symbol, sat right beside an expansive lake surrounded on all sides with a forest the size which Shinji had never seen before. "Woah… a real life Geofront!" moaned Shinji
"Yes Shinji, this is a Geofront, the fortress for all of mankind and the keystone of our resurrection from the second impact" recited Misato, as if she had spent hours memorizing every line, sentence and paragraph of the black book in Shinji's lap.
NERV HQThree doctors and two nurses had surrounded a young girl on a stretcher. The girl in question was no older then 14, wearing numerous bandages around her upper torso, face, arms and lower legs. The doctors around the teenage continously checked her vitals, making sure she was still stable, while the nurses double checked her IV feed and made sure the doctors hadn't screwed up anywhere " the pilot has suffered severe injuries" called the doctor pulling the stretcher towards the ER "there's a possibility of a splenic rupture" called one nurse who was monitoring the girl very attentively
Elsewhere within NERV HQ"The UN forces are exhausted" spoke an elderly man, looking no younger then early 50's late 40's, his grey hair was neatly combed and his attire suggested that even though he was aged, he was powerful and to be respected "what are we to do Ikari" the aged spoke again "Evangelion unit zero is under cyrostatis……"
"We simply have to reinitialise unit one then" spoke Gendo
"That's IMPOSSIBLE Ikari! We have no pilot for the test type and besides…it takes a unique person to pilot the test type…even Rei hasn't been able to activate unit 01" spoke the elderly man with a tone of sheer shock
"Do not concern yourself commander Fuyutsuki" whispered Ikari, although Fuyutsuki could clear him "A spare pilot is arriving as we speak" for as Gendo had said this, a monitor could be seen with Shinji and Misato entering NERV HQ…
Elsewhere within NERV HQ (part 2)
"hey Misato, haven't we already walked around this spot for the fourth time?" Shinji attentively asked, after remembering what happened last time he criticised Misato. Misato gave him a hard stare and consulted the map in front of her with "WC" clearly marked on it. Shinji knew they were lost, and that they had already been here four times previously because they kept coming across the same guard at the same point. Misato put this down to the guard having the ability to teleport wherever he wanted… Shinji thought that Misato just can't read a map "it must be around here somewhere" Misato whispered to herself
"You're late captain Katsuragi" Misato and Shinji turned to see a middle-aged blonde woman wrapped up in a lab coat, while wearing a short skirt and a white blouse underneath, stepping of a elevator not ten feet away. The woman appeared to be greatly upset
"Umm sorry Ritsu…. still haven't got the layout of this place worked out"
"You're so late CAPTAIN…" a great amount of emphasis was placed on captain
"That I was sent to collect you... you know we don't have the personnel or the time to mess around with such nonsense" calmly spoke Ritsu, even it appeared she seemed more intimidating when she was calm then when she would be venting her emotions.
The woman called Ritsu noticed Shinji behind Misato and smiled somewhat softly at him "So you must be one of the third children perhaps?"
"Hello there, my name is Ikari Shinji and its an honour to meet you" Shinji bowed deeply, a sign of respect for his elders. " Ooooo Misato, I see you found a charming young man" Ritsu chuckled slightly to herself and bow formally for Shinji "Hello Shinji, my name is Akagi Ritsuko, I am from the first engineering division, supervisor of project E"
"Come on along Shinji…"Ritsuko seemed to hesitate before continuing "There's something I want to show you before you meet face to face with your father"
"Something to show ME?" Shinji couldn't hide his surprise at her proposition but obediently followed Ritsuko into the elevator from which the beautiful lady had emerged. Shinji turned around to face Misato, and saw her looking perplexed and…. scared?
10Minutes later, deeper within the bowels of NERV HQShinji, Misato and Ritsuko entered what appeared to be a huge storage house, where light was non-existent and all Shinji could hear was the heavy breathing of the two females behind him "why is it so dark?" Shinji meekly enquired. A click could be heard, lights blazed in Shinji's eyes, temporarily blinding him. As Shinji began to adjust to the new lighting, he was barely able to suppress a gasp of horror, as before him, was pool of crimson fluid, which could have been mistaken for blood yet this was the most startling object within the vicinity; a huge purple head, with a horn mounted on the forehead was protruding out of the blood-like lake; the face appeared demonic with jaws used to tear metal with ease, eyes as dark and empty as the deepest abyss, swallowing anything drawn into it and yellow scars along the eye sockets, as if this being was built only to destroy…this was a monster. Before Shinji knew what he was doing, he walked up to the head and began to stroke the nearest part of it, yet he couldn't help but feel that if he weren't careful, this titan of metal and anarchy would devour him.
"This Shinji is a man-made battle weapon, built solely for the purpose to fight and destroy the angels…this is artificial human Evangelion"
"This thing can kill an angel?" Shinji once again couldn't control himself, and gazed at the beast with a newfound fear and respect. As Shinji's mind began to quickly put the pieces together he whispered softly to himself "Is this what my father has been spending so much time developing?"
"Correct" spoke a voice colder then ice and harder then steel. "It's been a while…" once again spoke the voice Shinji knew all too well. Shinji found himself rhythmically clenching and unclenching his fist, feeling pure rage seeping into his veins and destroying what shred of humanity he had within himself "YOU BASTARD! YOU LEFT ME AS A CHILD WITH PEOPLE WHO SHOWED ME NO LOVE AND WORTH!" Shinji had lost all self-restraint and began to speak his mind, allowing all his thoughts and bitter memories to gain dominance over him " YOU CONDEMMED ME TO A LIFE OF NEGLECT AND PAIN! I HATE YOU" no longer could he hold himself straight and began to shudder, wave after wave of pain and hatred shook his body and began to cry with self-loathing and exhaustion.
"I have called you third child because I have a purpose for you…you are going to get in the Evangelion and kill the angel" this was too much for Shinji; he knew his father never loved him, his father had discarded him as if he was nothing more then a spare tool, to be thrown away when no longer desired. "Wait a moment commander!" Shinji jumped out of his skin, as he had forgotten about Misato, her face was etched with worry and utter disbelief "it took even Rei seven months just to synchronise enough with her Evangelion just to a hand! A boy who's just around today? It's IMPOSSIBLE!" she appeared to be tittering on the edge of stability and looked to be hiding a newfound disgust for the commander of NERV.
"For now, all he has to do is sit in her… I don't expect anymore from the third child for now" the way Gendo talked was that Shinji didn't even exist in front of him "But commander…"
"Captain, our overriding priority at the moment is to halt and repel angel with any means available to me" Ritsuko interrupted Misato and continued to speak before Misato could begin to argue, "In order to accomplish that goal, it is imperative that we load SOMEONE into the bio-weapon Evangelion, no matter who it is… someone who may be able to synchronise to some extent with the unit" she spoke with an air of finality and looked Misato directly in the eyes "However captain, we are open to alternatives if any can be suggested". Misato at the moment loathed Ritsuko to the point of wanting to rip her vile tongue out of her mouth and ram it down the commander's mouth, effectively choking him and ridding Ritsuko the ability to speak. Misato's silent defeat was all Ritsuko needed to smile victoriously and grasp Shinji firmly by the shoulder and move him in the direction behind the Evangelion, yet for some reason the boy wouldn't move "Shinji…it is critical that you get in the Evangelion and defeat the angel"
"You don't care what happens to me…" Shinji seemed to be whispering to him, contemplating something, and before anyone knew what was happening, Shinji pulled himself from Ritsuko's grip and began shout at the top of his lungs "YOU DON'T CARE IF I DIE, TRYING TO KILL THAT ANGEL! YOU DON'T CARE IF MY LIFE IS THROWN AWAY! WHY DID YOU CALL ME?"
"I summoned you because you're the best candidate that we have" spoke Gendo as calmly and gracefully as always. This drove Shinji berserk with hatred and loathing "no…you're the only candidate we have…" the correction only seemed to heighten Shinji's rage; Shinji looked directly at his bastard father spoke as calmly and steadily as his father "You can take the angel, the Evangelion and shove them both right up your ass…I won't get in that beast and throw away my life for someone who doesn't care for me" Shinji found himself still speaking calmly yet his hand was clenching and unclenching at an even more rapid pace. "If that is your choice then leave, I have no time for a petulant child who always runs away" Shinji saw his father speak to a monitor and hear him say "sensei, wake Rei up and get her suited up for launch, the spare is useless"
"Can we use her commander?" spoke Fuyutsuki
"She's not dead yet"
"Understood" the monitor closed down automatically after being used and Gendo began to sneer at his son before him " go home child… cowards are useless in a fight where man's future is at stake"
"Recalibrate unit 01 for Rei and prepare for launch" shouted Ritsuko at numerous tech support crew who had watched the sour reunion. People began to move efficiently and in a collective manner, like ants in a colony, all working towards one goal set by the queen ant. Shinji couldn't help but hang his head in suffering, he knew that his father didn't really want or need him, they already had a replacement prepped and ready to launch, although Shinji shivered when his father said "she isn't dead yet". What condition did the replacement have to be in for the commander of NERV to say that?
As Shinji turned towards the exit, he saw what appeared to be a stretcher with medical staff surrounding what appeared to be a pale corpse…was his father sentencing someone to death just because he had said no? "Rei, the replacement is redundant…you will pilot Evangelion unit 01 and destroy the angel on the surface" whispered Gendo in what could have been a paternal tone, if it wasn't for the fact that he was killing her with the order. Shinji turned to face the girl on the stretcher and couldn't believe what he saw; lying on the people carrier was a girl no older then 14, her short blue hair was matter with blood and sweat yet it could be seen that the doctors were trying to clean her up; both of her arms and her left eye had been bandaged up and saw that a IV feed was still attached to her.
As she began to get up, Shinji felt a huge earthquake, so powerful it was causing the skylights to fall from the ceiling and hit the bridge which Shinji and the others were on "the angel must have discovered our location" for no sooner had Gendo said that, that a second, far more powerful earthquake shook the ground beneath their feet with such intensity, that all of the lights fell, and Shinji saw the girl fall off, unsupervised as her medical crew had abandoned their post long ago and begin to slide into the pool of blood; Shinji ran as fast as he could and scooped the wounded girl up in his arms, unfortunately not realising that a skylight was plummeting towards him and the damaged beauty. Shinji looked up in time to see the skylight being violently deflected by a hand, which had risen out of the lake and assumed that the Evangelion had saved him, yet before he could thank every deity in known existence, he heard the girl in his arms cry in pain; the terrified boy gazed at his blood-coated hand and began to chant softly to himself "I mustn't run away… I mustn't run away… I mustn't run away…I won't run away"
"Do you see the situation for what it is now Shinji? We need you..." Shinji turned around to see Misato towering over him, gazing at him softly and weakly
"If YOU don't pilot the Eva, that injured, dying girl in your arms will be forced to die needlessly, when someone stronger and more able then her simply turned his back on the world…" Misato crouched beside Shinji and grasped his shoulder, yet her grip wasn't firm or demanding like Ritsuko's…it was loving and protective "but Misato, he doesn't care for me…"
"You knew from the very beginning Shinji that it wasn't going to be happy family reunion, you're not that stupid or slow-minded" she spoke more harshly then earlier, yet her soft grip never left his consciousness " you knew there was a reason to come Shinji…you knew something had to be done…are you planning to leave, never knowing why you bothered to come in the first Shinji?" he tone was going desperate yet Misato forced back the tears; she knew she was getting through to him, he just needed a further push…
"Don't waste your time on him captain Katsuragi…he's a lost cause," Gendo revealed a ghost of a grin before continuing to speak "if you're going to leave then don't dawdle…GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!"
. He gazed at his father with unbridled fury, and then looked down at the girl in his arms, her breathing was ragged and her blood was leaving her body. He spoken unevenly, trying to fight back tears of self-disgust "I'll do it commander…I'll pilot the Evangelion…"
END
Ooooooooooooooooo who would have thought it? Shinji has some balls after all lol. I am so sorry once again and I apologise deeply that it's taken so long for it to come out. Send all your thoughts, ideas and constructive flames to my new e-mail address (its at the top near the disclaimer) and I hope to have the next update done in 2weeks tops
Next chapter will be "Rebirth of the fallen", where Shinji gets into the Evangelion, fights Sachiel the 3rd angel and discovers more about himself. For a little twist he makes a new friend and meets a cute girl (a cookie will be rewarded to whoever guesses correctly)
Until next time!
