Neon genesis evangelion
More kids, more angels…
Chapter 2: The old men are back.
Two weeks had passed since the new angel attack and Nick still hadn't recovered from his injuries. Asuka and Shinji were fine and so were the Eva's. Everyone was hoping Nick would pull through.
Misato was waiting in the cafeteria drinking her fifth beer in that morning but she was still conscious. Ritsuko walked in and sat next to her.
"Nick's status is still unchanged." Dr Agaki mentioned trying to start a conversation..
"He's not gonna make it right?"
"I couldn't say anything ether way…the thing that I'm worried about was Nick's sync reaching 1000... It's impossible to do so but he pulled it off in his first battle."
"Well if it reached 1000…why wasn't he absorbed?"
"I have no idea there is no explanation."
"What do the MAGI say 'bout it?"
"Can't come up with an answer that makes sense."
"I hope he makes it………………"
Meanwhile in a very, very secret location (I mean top secret absolutory invisible location)
The Members of SEELE had survived Third impact and wanted to destroy NERV and take control again.
"Well it seems NERV have taken it upon them to destroy the new angels" SEELE 06 said.
"True…I wonder if Ikari will last long enough when we launch our new plan." SEELE 02 mentioned.
"Yes. It is now time to revel our new plan against NERV." Chairman Keel announced. "As you all know NERV has learned that are many more Angels than we let them know of. I propose that we build an Army of EVA series and Attack NERV directly. I doubt that Ikari will last especially that Rei is dead and the sixth child is unable to pilot only leaves us the threat of two EVA's. It will take us five months to build our army and one unit shall have a human pilot to command the rest of the army…are there any objections?" There was complete silence. "Good…now lets us begin"
NERV hospital…
Nick awoke suddenly as if in a nightmare. He noticed he was sweating quite a lot.
"Huh…w…what happened? Where am I? Where's Asuka and Shinji … and what happened to the angel…" He looked around looking for an answer when he felt a strange pain in his chest. It was like something was trying to burst out of his chest. He screamed in agony and he heard his ribs cracking and could see blood soaking his shirt…
Nick woke up from another nightmare. It was the first time he woke up from it. He checked his chest. No blood, no pain in his ribs. He let his head fall back on the pillow and exhaled greatly.
"What the hell was that dream?" He closed his eyes and tried to remember who that voice belonged to.
"It said…I was weak…that my efforts were laughable…" He could hear a voice laughing…but there was no one in the room.
"They are laughable though…and you are so weak."
(What the hell do you want from me?)
"Ahh…that be telling now wouldn't it."
(If you won't tell me what you want, what about who are you?)
"I'm you."
(What?)
"I'm that part inside you hate."
(Part…I hate)
"I live to see you suffer."
(Why?)
"…"
(Hey answer me!)
"I'm the feeling you get whenever someone insults you and you want to break there neck in half…that's all I life for."
(So basically you're my evil side?)
"I suppose you could say that"
(No I'm must be hearing things or going mad…you can't be part of me otherwise I could control you.)
"Trust me if you left your thoughts and actions to me…I'd make your world come crashing around you"
(No I can hide from you…)
"There's only one reason you can't run from me…"
(Why's that then)
"Because…I am you…I'm the one, that shadow in the back of your mind…that you locked away…but in the entry plug two weeks ago…you let my out."
(Huh? Wait a minute if you're my evil side…I must have a good side)
"Well you do…put he's so stupid and weak…you're the mixture of both of us…"
(So what is it you want? Kill my good side?)
"No that wouldn't work… if I kill him we both die…"
(So you have to kill…)
"You."
(You won't!)
"You'll see when I come for you next time you're here" The voice laughed and began to fade away. Nick had to admit it he was scared…a part of him wants to kill him. Suddenly Misato came running in through the door which made Nick jump.
"Nick! You're okay." Misato was actually crying.
"Yeah…I'm fine…but what happened?"
"You've been unconscious for two weeks." Ritsuko said walking in.
"Two…weeks……what about Asuka and Shinji?"
"They are fine." Misato said not crying as much.
"We're more worried about you…" Ritsuko mentioned looking at Nick's health sings.
"Me…why?"
"Your Sync ratio reached 1000." This gave Nick a bit of a scare.
"1000……but that's impossible!"
"That's correct…but you still reached it."
(I should be dead…but I'm alive…this isn't making sense) Nick buried his head into his hands and mumbled. "I want to be left alone." Misato and Ritsuko walked out.
(I'm scared…what do I do? I can't go to anybody as they'll think I'm mad…mum… please help me…) Nick wasn't expecting an answer and all he got was silence.
"I really don't know what to do…"
Misato's apartment…
"Asuka! Will you tidy that pile of crap that is your room…I feel sorry for Nick having to sleep in there!" Misato shouted from the kitchen. Asuka began cursing in German when the door opened and Nick walked in.
"Hey guys. I'm back!" Nick walked in to the kitchen and saw Shinji and Misato sitting at the table.
"Welcome back." They both said.
"Thanks guys…hey where's Asuka?"
"She should be cleaning her room…Nick are you sure you don't mind sleeping in there?" Shinji asked as Misato left to see if Asuka was cleaning her room.
"Nah…I've slept in worse places…a locker for example."
"You slept in a locker."
"Had to…part of British army training…you had to sleep in some of the worst places."
"So is that where you got the clearance for carrying a gun?"
"Yep." Nick took the 9mm out of his bag and checked to see if the people at the hospital took the ammo. It was full. "Well that's good to see…I'm not getting my real stuff for a while."
"Real…stuff?"
"Yeah after what happened during third impact I was told to carry a side-arm with me all times and to keep heavy firepower at my home…otherwise here." Just at that moment the door bell went and Nick went to answer as Shinji went to make some stuff to eat. Nick opened the door and saw two members from MI6 standing there with a couple of cases.
"Thanks guys…I owe you one." Nick took the stuff and closed the door.
"Nick what have you got there?" Asuka had emerged from cleaning her room and was standing in the hallway looking at all of Nicks stuff.
"Guns, ammo, personal stuff, laptop, electric guitar…"
"Wait a minute…did you say guns?"
"Yeah…" Nick took out a sheet of paper from one of the cases. "Hmm……right…geez they sure like being evil."
"What?"
"I can't use any of this kick-arse firepower unless there's no other option…that sucks."
"Well Nick…I'm really sorry but 'cause we heard you would arrive tomorrow we've all got stuff planned…Misato's going out with Kaji and Ritsuko…shinji's is going over to Toji's and I've got a date." Before Nick could reply they were all gone.
"Oh…well okay…now what am I meant to do? (Why are you asking me?) Cause you're my mind you're meant to help me. (Okay, okay calm down… just play your guitar) Yeah I suppose I could…I've got some new stuff to try out."
Twenty minutes later…
Asuka stormed back towards her home. Her date went totally wrong.
"He was 10 minutes late, we missed the film and then he totally ignored me as he talked to his friends…that bastard! I'll make him pay." She walked up to the door and could here somebody singing. She walked in quietly and heard Nick singing and playing his guitar.
A/N: Lyrics in italics and I don not own Adema's Immortal Lyrics or the devil may cry 3 intro lyrics ……I just think they are kick arse songs.
Let's fight
We're face to face
Loyalty is what I need to see from you
You're insecure
I can see the fear that breeds in your heart
Where will you run?
Where will you hide?
I see the blood drip from your eyes
Who will survive? Let's get it on
And we'll fight
Asuka wish she could understand Nick as he was singing in English.
I know who you are
The leader of lost souls
You can't kill me
I'm immortal
I'm not afraid to die
My soul will travel on
You can't kill me
I'm immortal
Immortal
Immortal
Immortal
I need the rush
There's nowhere you could hide before you die
Why won't you face me?
I can see the fear that's in your eyes
Where will you run?
Where will you hide?
I see the blood drip from your eyes
Who will survive? Let's get it on
And we'll fight
I know who you are
The leader of lost souls
You can't kill me
I'm immortal
I'm not afraid to die
My soul will travel on
You can't kill me
I'm immortal
"Is this that heavy metal stuff he was going on about?"
I know who you are
The leader of lost souls
You can't kill me
I'm immortal
I'm not afraid to die
My soul will travel on
You can't kill me
I'm immortal
(He's really good) Asuka thought. (Not that I'm gonna tell him that)
Where will you run?
Where will you hide?
Let's fight
I know who you are
The leader of lost souls
You can't kill me
I'm immortal
I'm not afraid to die
My soul will travel on
You can't kill me
I'm immortal
I know who you are
The leader of lost souls
You can't kill me
I'm immortal
I'm not afraid to die
My soul will travel on
You can't kill me
I'm immortal
You can't kill me
Immortal!
You can't kill me
Immortal!
You can't kill me
Immortal!
You can't kill me
(I wonder what those lyrics meant? I'll ask him.) Asuka walked into the room.
"Hey Nick." Nick jumped.
"Hey Asuka…what's up? Why are you home early? I thought you had a date."
"Can't be bothered explaining. What was that song you were singing?"
"I wasn't singing." Nick didn't like anyone knowing he sang when he was alone.
"Don't lie I heard the entire thing…but I didn't understand a word of it."
"Well okay I was singing…and I only really sing in English."
"What was it about?"
"Basically that you believe that no one can kill you and you're immortal."
"Right…that's kinda depressing."
"Yeah…but that's the stuff I sing."
"You got anything slightly less depressing.
"Nope…I can sing another one if you want though."
"Yeah sure…" Nick began looking through some stuff when Misato walked in drunk.
"Hey guys…I'm back!" She fell over and crawled into the living room where Nick was looking through his bag and Asuka looked excited. Misato obviously took this the wrong way. "What's going on here…You two planning on doing it on the couch." Nick and Asuka stared at Misato strangely.
"What are you…" Misato cut Nick off
"If you are going to fourth base do it in your room!"
"Misato we're not gonna…" Misato cut Nick off again.
"Geez…I thought you would have seen if it was fine with me first."
"Misato!" Nick had to shout. "Get off your drunken arse and listen! Me and Asuka are not planning on doing any of that stuff! I was going to show here one of my songs." Nick calmed down a little. Misato looked at Asuka who was ready to rip Misato to pieces.
"So you're only showing her one of your songs?"
"Yep."
"Not going to fourth base?"
"Nope…"
"Great I'll listen as well." Misato sat on the couch as Nick continued looking for some thing to sing.
"Okay I've found one but it's not finished okay?" They both nodded.
We are falling
The light is calling
Tears inside me
Calm me down.
Bless me with the
Leaf off the tree
On it I see
The freedom reign
Midnight calling
Mist of resolving
Crown me, with the
Pure green leaf
Praise to my farther
Blessed by the water
Black knight, dark skies
The devils cry.
"Well what do you think?" Misato was amazed and Asuka was having trouble finding words to explain it. At that minute Shinji walked in wondering why Misato and Asuka look so shocked.
"What's happened here?"
"I just showed them a song I'm in the middle of writing." Just as Nick finished the Alarm for Angel attack went off and the began making there way to NERV.
NERV HQ…
Gendo and Fuyutsuki had already prepared the EVA's and reviled who would be launched.
"Unit-01, 02 and 00 will be launched." This caused everyone to look shocked except Nick.
"Why does everyone looked so freaked out?" Nick asked looking around which caused Gendo to look at Misato.
"Major Katsuragi I thought I ordered you to tell the sixth child about Rei."
(Damn I knew I forget something!) Misato thought mentally kicking herself.
"Well it seems I must do it myself." Gendo explained everything about Rei and that she caused third Impact. "…And unknown to SEELE we kept one Rei alive."
"…Well that helps a little."
"Nick if Shinji, Asuka and Rei fail you will be launched." Nick just nodded and they all went to there Eva's.
Nick sat in his entry plug staring at Unit-00. (So basically Rei is the commander's wife's spirit huh? Dude you're seriously fucked up you know that?)
"Nick." Shinji asked as his face appeared on the COM
"What's up?"
"I'm sorry we didn't tell you about Rei…we were told to keep it classified.
"Don't sweat it…I'm okay with it."
Unit-00, 01 and 02 walked to the Eva lifts and were launched.
Battle field A.K.A Tokyo 3
"Okay guys listen up this angel looks like an EVA but you'll notice it easily. It's abilities if any are unknown so keep your distance and fire." All the pilots nodded and spread out and aimed. The angel appeared out off nowhere and was 5000 metres from NERV the EVA's fired at once but the angels A.T field was to strong.
"God damn it these things always use those bloody A.T fields!" Asuka shouted.
"Well we use them to you know." Shinji replied.
"Yeah but were the good guys…we should always win."
"To break the A.T field we need a diversion." Rei said as calm as ever.
"I'll do that." Shinji said acting strangely confident. Unit-00 and 02 moved to each side waiting for the right time to attack and Shinji stood there staring at the angel. He had to move before it hit him so Asuka and Rei could get a clear shot. The angel walked closer to Unit-01 but it's eyes flashed and it rose its fist but Shinji didn't move and was smacked into the ground.
"Shinji why the hell didn't you move?" Asuka shouted.
"The EVA it's frozen I can't move."
Eva cage…
Nick had enough of sitting there doing nothing and had got in one of the EVA lifts. He opened a COM to Misato.
"Misato permission to do something stupid and that you won't approve of."
"Like what?"
"You'll see…….EVA unit-04 launch now!" The EVA lift shot up.
"Nick you idiot!" Misato shouted. Fuyutsuki looked at gendo and had to ask.
"Ikari don't you mind this?"
"Not at all. This will help increase the pilots' self-confidence…well that's what I hope for."
"Let's hope you're right."
Battle field again…
The EVA lift opened and Nick walked out.
"Right lets go!" Unit-04 ran forward and took the angel in surprise and took the angel to the floor. "Die you ugly mother…" Nick couldn't finish the insult as he was the sent flying. Unit-00 and 02 fired from there cover positions but the angel dodged all the fire and charged at Rei and throwing her in the EVA lift Nick just left. Asuka was left there without any ammo aiming at the angel. She began swearing in German. Unit-04 stood up.
"Asuka catch!" Nick shouted as he threw a magazine for the rifle towards Asuka. She caught it and reloaded.
"That A.T filed is to strong…it deflects every shot." Asuka mentioned yet Nick stayed silent. "Nick are you listening?"
"…"
"Nick!"
"Asuka shoot me! I've got an idea."
"Huh?"
"Just do it!"
"What are you going on about?"
"Fire the damn gun you red haired bitch!"
"What did you just call me!" Asuka aimed and shot. Unit-04 used its A.T filed to deflect the shot and hit the angel destroying it.
"Nick how did you that was going to work?" Asuka asked looking a little confused.
"I didn't." Misato's face showed up on the COM.
"Okay guys you can come back now." The EVA's went back to Geofront.
Misato's apartment…
Nick, Shinji, Asuka and Misato walked in all looking tired.
"I swear sometimes I think about getting an office job." Misato said as she went to the fridge and took out a beer as the pilots walked into the living room.
"Geez I never thought I'd say this…but I sometimes hate being an EVA pilot." Asuka said expecting a reply but didn't receive one. Nick sat on the floor and was half asleep. Shinji was just being boring old quiet Shinji. (And I thought Nick being here would get rid of these boring and stupid silences.) Misato walked in and mentioned.
"Look guys I gotta go to a briefing so you can order food or something okay?" Before anyone answered she was gone.
"Well what now?" Asuka asked.
"I dunno…and I really don't care…" Nick mentioned.
"You can decide Asuka." Shinji said.
"Um…let me think… how about truth or dare." The guys agreed…
SEELE's secret location…
"We have no confirmed a pilot for our EVA army." SEELE 03 announced.
"Apparently she knows the sixth child. Is this a good idea?" 04 asked.
"Yes we plan to send her to NERV for a while so we can learn all of the plans." Keel announced. "She will arrive there tomorrow."
Misato's apartment…
The game was going…well lets say not the best after many personal question from Nick to Asuka he now had a black eye and cuts all over his face after scratching him.
"That'll teach you for asking me who I liked in school." Asuka began laughing.
"I think I've had enough…besides I gotta phone my dad to let him know that I got here fine." Nick walked out of the room. (I'm properly going crazy but I think I actually like her…) Nick hit himself in the chest. (Don't be an idiot…if she found out my head would be on a pike in a second.) He picked up the phone and rang his farther. Back in the living room Shinji and Asuka were still playing.
"Well Shinji you got to ask me something and I gotta tell the truth."
"Okay then…how come you haven't been going on that Nick has to sleep in your room…do you like him by any chance?" This took Asuka by shock. (That's the first time he asked something like that…hurry up and answer!)
"Well…(Anything…say anything excepting telling a lie!) um… (Think you fool!) lets see…(I give up…) well yeah I suppose I do…(That was a bit to much…you could said maybe instead admitting it! You are truly hopeless!)"
Shinji tried not to laugh. ( I could be evil to Asuka after everything she put me through and tell Nick…yeah I think I will.) Shinji just smiled and said. "I think that's enough of that game… I'll go order something." He left Asuka who looked totally embarrassed. (You are so screwed my friend.) Nick entered the room and noticed Asuka sitting there totally red.
"Uh Asuka are you okay?" Nick asked but didn't get a response. "Well that's strange." Nick walked into his and Asuka's room and lied down. He looked around and then remembered what Asuka said to Hikari in school. (She thinks I'm cute…looks like I gotta be more around her…I having tried flirting with her and she likes me…this is bad.) He feel asleep.
Asuka sat in the living room still. Trying to think if she could get out the situation she got herself in.
Shinji was in the kitchen ordering food and grinning at the fact she could get Asuka back for all the crap she put him through… of course none of them knew that it would get worse tomorrow.
Well that's the end of chapter two... I hope there are some people who are enjoying this… by the way I not gonna mention anything about 1000 sync ratio I'm sorry about that. Until chapter 3 later. Thanks for reading.
