The falling darkness
Rei Ayanami was jolted from her thoughts by her ringing cellphone. She took it out of her pocket and answered it.
"Ayanami here."
"Rei, you and the other pilots are to proceed to NERV immediately," said Maya from the other end of the line. "Major Katsuragi will pick you up from school, expect for her to arrive in five minutes."
"Affirmative. May I ask why we are being called for?"
"I am not allowed to tell you for security reasons; The Commander will update you of the situation when you arrive here."
"I understand." She then put away her cellphone, rose from her seat and walked towards the two other pilots.
"Pilot Ikari, pilot Shoryuu. We have been given orders to proceed to NERV."
"At last! A reason to get out of this boring classroom!" replied the pilot of the Unit02.
Rei then went to the still sleeping Shinji and gently tapped his shoulder.
"Ikari-kun please wake-up. We need to go to NERV." she said softly, but the sleeping EVA pilot did not budge.
"Here, wondergirl. Let me show you how it's done!" Asuka said while shoving Rei aside.
"BAKA-SHINJI! WAKE UP NOW OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES!" she screamed into his ear.
Shinji raised his head, yawned, looked around and sleepily mumbled: "Go screw yourself Asuka..." he then went back to sleep.
A huge vein popped out of Asuka's forehead. "GO DO WHAAAAT!"
Touji who was watching the scene with enthusiasm after hearing Asuka scream at Shinji could only say to himself: "Shinji's a dead man..!"
Asuka drew back her arm and punched Shinji hard enough to knock him out of his seat.
Shinji got up and said: "Okay.. I'm awake.. I'm awake!"
"Good. Now I can knock you out!"
Just as Asuka was going to punch Shinji again, they heard the screeching of tires and a honking car in front of the school.
"You're lucky Misato got here in time to save you baka! I'll just beat you up later at the apartment." She then dragged Shinji outside by the hair all the while Rei followed them quietly.
At the car Asuka shoved Shinji and Rei into the back seat saying, "Go sit there in the back with wondergirl. The two of you can go make out while we drive to Geofront!" she then got into the front passenger's seat.
As Misato's blue Renault inched it's way through Tokyo3's traffic laden streets, Rei noticed that her companion was nodding-off again.
"Ikari-kun, Are you still sleepy?"
"Hai, Ayanami-chan. The air conditioner in my room malfunctioned last night, It was so hot I wasn't able to get any sleep at all..."
Rei analyzed the situation for a moment..
I want to do something to help him. I need to do something for him.
She then had an idea. Yes, that would be very acceptable, given the situation...
She then turned to Shinji and said: "It would take us about fifteen more minutes to arrive at NERV with all this traffic... Would you like to sleep some more on the way there?"
Shinji was surprised with the amount of concern in her voice.. "What do you mean?" he asked her.
"Maybe you would like to lay down on my lap for a while..?"
A slight blush began to form on the young man's face, he wanted to protest but his sleep deprived body said otherwise, He did needed the sleep and he was happy to get it one way or another. So all he said was: "Thank you, Ayanami-chan."
He then put his head on the blue haired girl's lap and was immediately asleep.
Downtown, Misato's car became stuck in more traffic.
"Damn!" she said out loud, "In this era of giant robots and supercomputers, one would think mankind would be able to get rid of traffic!"
She then adjusted her rear-view mirror to check on the occupants of the back seat. Seeing Shinji sleeping soundly on Rei's lap gave her a great idea, an evil idea actually, but great nonetheless. Time for some top quality Katsuragi brand teasing! She thought to herself.
Setting her plan into action, she nudged the German girl beside her and said: "Looks like Shinji and Rei are getting along pretty well back there..."
Asuka turned around and saw Rei with a content look on her face while she absent-mindedly ran her fingers through the hair of the young man sleeping on her lap.
Anger quickly rose in the young redhead, but she would not acknowledge her emotions.
She quickly put on a nonchalant face and said to the woman beside her: "So what? I don't care. Let the little wimp go and play with his doll..!" she then began to look outside the window, pretending to be bored.
Thinking that what Asuka saw had no effect on the young woman beside her, Misato started to further provoke the young German.
"Are you sure you don't mind? I think I can hear some jealousy in your voice…"
Asuka face grew hot due to this comment by her guardian.
"WHAT! Me, the great Asuka Shoryuu-Langley, get jealous of an idiot and her? NEVER!"
"Don't lie to me Asuka! I know how you feel about him…"
"You do, do you? Then you know that I hate him for being such a perverted, immature, self-pitying, unconfident, spineless moron!"
Sensing that the situation had somehow got out of hand, Misato decided to end it with a simple question.
"If you do hate him, answer me this. Why did you stay at his bedside for three days the last time he was in the hospital?"
This time Asuka had no answer to give… Deep inside her she knew the answer, but she was too proud to admit it…
At the time they arrived at Geofront, both Asuka and Misato were lost in their own thoughts.
Misato contemplated on the situation of her two wards.
If only the two of them would get together,
If only Shinji was a little more confident maybe he can confess to her.
And if only Asuka wasn't too damn proud maybe she can finally tell him how she feels...
Asuka on the other hand was seething with anger…
I'll never forgive you for this Misato..
I'll make you pay for this..
I'll get you too wondergirl!
And no matter what it takes I'll never let you have Shinji..
After parking her car, Misato woke-up Shinji and herder the three pilots into a waiting elevator.
She then led them to the EVA hangar where Commander Ritsuko Akagi was waiting for them. After this she quickly went back out into the hallway to get Shinji some coffee to wake him up.
In the hangar Commander Akagi had begun briefing the children of the situation.
"At 13:12 hours the Sea of Durac appeared exactly 2.1 kilometers north of the city.
Since then it has began growing at the rate of about 2 meters per minute. It is now approximately 40 meters across. The three EVAs are to be deployed for reconnaissance.
You are to proceed with your mission right after we are updated on the current situation."
As if on cue, Maya entered the room holding a report in her hands, followed closely by Misato with a cup of steaming black coffee for Shinji.
"What is the current situation miss Ibuki?" asked the commander.
Maya quickly handed over the report she was carrying and said a few words to her commanding officer.
Misato, on the other hand had just given Shinji the coffee and told him; "Here, drink this. This should at least give you some energy for your mission today."
Shinji gladly took the cup and began to drink its hot, dark contents.
Ritsuko quickly scanned the piece of paper in her hands and a dark cloud seemed to move across her face.
"Pilots, your mission has now changed."
Sensing something wrong, both Asuka and Shinji had concerned looks on their faces.
Rei remained as steadfast and emotionless as usual.
"An angel has been detected inside the Sea of Durac, The three of you are to deploy and destroy it before it destroys us.."
The words were scarcely out of the commander's mouth when the pilots reacted in their own ways.
"An angel? I thought we destroyed all of them!" asked Shinji.
"Are the EVAs ready for battle? Shouldn't we deploy immediately!" replied Asuka.
"Ma'am, Do we still have time to get changed into our plug-suits?" questioned Rei.
To these the commander replied: "It seems we were wrong to assume we got rid of all angels, Also your units are all fully charged and equipped for battle. And no Rei, the three of you don't have time to get changed. You are to deploy now."
The three pilots then went to their respective units and began preparations for launch.
Major Katsuragi and Commander Akagi were now headed to the bridge to oversee the operation from there.
On the way to the bridge the major also had some questions she wanted to ask.
"So it's another angel huh? Do you think SEELE is up to it's old tricks again?"
"Our intelligence suggests that SEELE is not responsible for this, It seems a new organization has done this." replied Ritsuko.
"A new organization? But how were they able to get their hands on an angel? What do you think they are after?"
The commander just shook her head and answered: "I don't know.. All I know is that darkness has once again fallen, and it is up to us to bring back the light."
Once the two of them arrived at the bridge they began to start the EVA launch sequence.
"Insert entry plugs!" ordered Ritsuko.
"Entry plugs inserted and secured ma'am!"
"Begin flooding the plugs with LCL!"
"LCL is now flowing into entry plugs ma'am!"
Inside his entry plug Shinji Ikari began to smell the familiar scent of LCL as it began to flow around him. Once the LCL 1reached his face he began to breath it in. He had become accustomed to the taste of LCL but he didn't exactly enjoy it.
It smells and tastes just like blood. Thought the young man.
Outside the city the sea of Durac lay there like a lake of pure darkness on the plains..
The swift summer wind blew across it but waves didn't form on it..
Suddenly, the angel emerged from within it.
The angel was a perfect silver sphere with scarlet zebra stripes all over it.
It floated above the landscape like an ominous silver eye..
Beneath it the sea of Durac slightly shrank to become the angel's shadow.
Slowly but steadily the angel began moving towards the fortress city of Tokyo3.
Back at the bridge, the launch sequence was now in it's final procedures.
"Oxygen levels normal ma'am."
"Open topside hatches!"
"Hatches open ma'am!"
"Begin raising the units to street level!"
"EVAs now 50 feet below the street.. 40 feet.. 30.. 20.. Units are now at street level ma'am!"
"What is the current status of the angel miss Ibuki?" Asked the commander.
"Ma'am, The angel has emerged from the sea of Durac and is now on it's way towards the city. On it's current course it will be in the city's center in less than a minute." Replied Maya.
Outside, the light of the afternoon sun bounced of the metal armor of the three behemoths.
Shinji and the two others began to activate all systems in their units.
"Synch ratios are at optimal level ma'am!" reported one NERV tech.
Good luck to you three. Thought both Misato and Ritsuko.
Misato then opened the com channels to all three units: "All units, DEPLOY!"

OMAKE!
"What do you mean?" he asked her.
"Maybe you would like to make-out for a while..?"
A slight blush began to form on the young man's face, he wanted to protest but the hormones pulsing through his body said otherwise, He needed some action and he was happy to get it one way or another. So all he said was: "Why just settle for making-out Ayanami-chan? Let's just do it!"
He then quickly tore the clothes off the blue haired girl and began to pleasure her in ways more ways than one.
Later the car began rocking from all the movement in the back seat.
"Hey Shinji! Don't tire yourself out too much okay? Remember you still have "chores" do for me later!" Said Misato.
"Misato! You know that tonight is my turn to be with Shinji! We agreed on the schedule remember!" protested the red haired German.
