Chapter 5
Half the school day had gone by, waiting in line for lunch. Fiona and Anata looked around at the students and started to get a feeling that none of them wanted to be there in the city they lived at. And there was another thing was bothering Fiona….
"Hay Sis how many times where you asked out?" Fiona asked as she picked up a bottle of water.
"You know come to think of it I was asked out quite a bit….." Anata replied, "I turned them all down of course."
"Yeah me too… " Fiona said. "But more importantly did you read that stuff about this Second Impact. There's no way a meteor strike could make that amount of damage….."
"I know something's not right, and the way how the kids in our class just sat there like it was no big deal." Fiona added. "You would think that they would care more about something that killed off more then half the world's population."
Picking up some fruit, Anata shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe…. Maybe they are just desensitized by the whole thing or maybe since they where born after they just see it was it didn't happen to them."
"I guess…." Fiona remarked. "Well during lunch I'm going to look around the school and see if there are any books about this Second Impact."
"I'm going to talk more to Rei and this one guy from our class….. What's his name, damn…Oh Shinji I think it was." Anata said finally snapping her fingers.
Outside Rei sat quietly reading a small book for school.
"Umm… Hi Rei can I sit here with you?" Anata asked.
"If you wish." Rei replied in her normal mono tone.
Sitting there beside Rei, Anata went about having her lunch as Rei read her book.
"So Rei tell me something about you… I mean we live right next door to each other." Anata said.
Rei looked up from her book. "I'm sorry, I do not understand."
"You know what type of this do you like to do?" Anata asked. "You know for fun."
Rei thought about this for a moment, out side from Eva and School there was really wasn't much time for much else. But there was one thing she did enjoy. "I enjoy the violin."
"Oh you play?" Anata asked. "I played the piano when I was little…. "
"Why do you not play it anymore?" Rei asked still in her mono tone voice.
The question Rei had shot back at Anata was one that she often thought about… 'Why did I stop?' She asked her self. "Well I do have a boyfriend, and there's school too."
Rei just nodded. "I see…" then she went back to her book.
At the other end of the school, Fiona was looking through the library looking for anything that could tell her more about Second Impact and any information on any super computers. She had found what she was looking for but it was exactly what she had thought it would be. Most of the magazines she found pertaining to Second Impact or SI as the magazines refried it as. the magazines where mostly about that horrific first year after the event of SI, and how the human race slowly rebuilt it self, then she read about the absurd laws to regain the human population.
Shaking her head about that last part, Fiona went on to looking up anything about super computers. She didn't know the reason why Kou was looking in to a super computer. But according to Anata Kou had his reasons if he asks for something… Well she didn't need to research much about that subject. Fiona quickly found a resent article on something called the Magi Super Computer; she read about its creator Doctor Naoko Akagi and how the doctor met her tragic end. Fiona then read on how the daughter of Doctor Naoko Akagi, Doctor Ritsuko Akagi had taken over the project after her mother's death.
Looking over at the clock on the wall, Fiona found that she was fast running out of time. Picking what she had thought was the most useful of information. She went about checking out the magazines.
In the class room, lunch was just about over. Anata watched the clock and waited for her sister. 'Man where are you sis?' Anata thought to her self. Just about a minute before the bell rang; Fiona came in to the classroom a little out of breath. She looked around the class room and found her sister sitting at the spot where she was sitting at before lunch started and walked over to her.
"Did you find anything useful?" Anata asked in a whisper.
"You could say that… man I'm starving did you save me anything to eat?" Fiona replied. "I didn't have that much time to eat."
Anata nodded. "Yeah I've saved you an apple…. Here." Said Anata as she reached in to her desk. "So what'd you find?" Anata asked, as she handed her sister that apple.
Taking the apple, Fiona only had enough time to take one good bite before the bell rang. Telling the students that class had started again. Thinking that their whispering went unnoticed the sisters focused on the class like nothing happened. But their whispering didn't go unnoticed. Just a couple seats away Asuka was listening and something to her anyways just didn't seem right.
When the class had started, Asuka activated the student to student privet chat. She looked over at Shinji then back at her computer. Selecting Shinji's name, she sent him a message.
Asuka: Hay Stooge.
Over at Shinji's desk he got a box that popped up on his computer's screen. 'Privet message from Asuka, accept or reject.' Shinji looked back over at Asuka, who was giving a look that he had better accept that message. So clicking on accept, he read the message.
Shinji: What?
Asuka: Now don't be like that…
Shinji: What is it Asuka?
Asuka: you should feel lucky that a girl like me even sent a privet message to you.
Shinji: …
Asuka shook her head at her desk.
Asuka: the two girls, don't they seem a bit odd?
Shinji: Not really… aside from the fact that they haven't heard of NERV before.
Asuka: that's right and who hasn't heard of NERV now in days?
At Shinji's desk, he looked over at the sisters then back over at his computer.
Shinji: I guess so…. Maybe you and me should talk to them?
Asuka: Okay….
Across town Raziel was happily working at the small corner store. Putting out some magazines out on a magazine rack, Raziel came across a magazine with a photo of the three Robots that fought just last night. Kneeling down on the floor Raziel started to read how these things had saved the city and trashed it at the same time. He then came across a question to the commander of NERV one Gendo Ikari.
'Commander Ikari, what are the Evangelions?' the reported asked.
'The Evangelions are a necessary evil created by the sins of both god and man to protect mankind.' The Commander replied
Raziel read the response over and over again. '… A necessary evil created by the sins of both god and man….' This didn't set right with Raziel, but he kept on reading the magazine as he worked through out the day.
Meanwhile another corner of the city, Kou still wasn't doing to well on the while job hunting thing. Yes today wasn't his day.
"I should head back and try again tomorrow…" Kou muttered to himself. "Damn it's hot…. And I really hate this city…"
Back at the Ego front the Doctor and commander Ikari walked through the vast halls of the ego front.
"Do you have an update on the investigation?" Commander Ikari asked.
"There is." The doctor replied. "We've intercepted singles, but both are strong enough to break through a quantum barriers. But one is we can make out a complex langue that the Magi are trying to translate, the other is directed in to well no where, with nothing but white noise."
Commander Ikari gave the doctor a strange look. "Directed in to no where?"
The Doctor thought of something that can best describe no where. "Like the sea of durock that swallowed Unit 01."
"I see." The commander said now understanding. "And the status of Unit 02?"
"We're still waiting for the new armor to be shipped to us, but the U.N. is dragging their feet so at best guess later half of next week at earliest." Ritsuko replied.
"Vary well…. Keep me advised."
"Commander there is one other thing. It appears that the search team that was sent to the forest to gather anything that might have been left behind is missing." Ritsuko added.
"Search the surrounding forest and the city. I want to find this missing person." Gendo ordered.
"Yes sir."
In the forest, the stone mass started to smoothen out to a cylinder that stood some five feet seven inches tall. Then lines started to form in the stone, and then they flashed a dim green….
"Sister……."
Across town just as school was letting out. Fiona and Anata where at their lockers, cleaning up all the love notes that was slipped in to their lockers through out the day.
"Wow.. This is crazy…." Anata said to her self. "I don't get it."
"No kidding what's with the guys?" Fiona added.
At the lockers across from Anata and Fiona, Asuka and Hikari opened their lockers. The same thing happened, several letters spilt out. "You two don't get it. We're vary attractive girls in a none descript junior high school. It's just something that happens."
"Yeah everyday the same…." Hikari added.
Just before Anata was about to say something she heard it….
"Sister….."
Looking over at Fiona, Anata gave her sister a strange look. "Did you say something?"
"No."
"Thought I heard something…. Oh well." Anata said looking out the window next to the locker bays…
