Looking into the eyes of the red devil
Chapter 6
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Goodbye, Shinji' said Asuka. She stood in front of a large boat and she held her belongings in her hands. The sky was dark gray and it was raining. Shinji just stood there looking at Asuka.
'I'll always remember you, goodbye Shinji Ikari' said Asuka in a happy tone and she turned around and started walking up the walkway to get on the boat. As she walked Shinji desperately ran after her but he wasn't going anywhere and he held his hand out trying to reach her.
'Asuka!' he yelled but she didn't hear him she just continued walking.
'Asuka!' he screamed and continued running after her but he fell to his knees and watched as she sailed off for Germany. He broke down crying as the boat got further and further away and his body wet from the rain and his heart broken.
That's when Shinji woke up in a sweat.
"Ah, uh, uh, uh, uh" panted Shinji as he realized it was just a dream. He buried his face into his blanket and began sobbing.
'It was only a dream' thought Shinji in relief and he got out of bed and got dressed and walked out to greet the new day.
"Good morning, Asuka" said Shinji.
"Good morning" she replied.
"Where's Misato?" asked Shinji.
"NERV" replied Asuka.
"I already made breakfast" she added. Shinji sat down at the table and began eating his toast. And as they ate an awkward silence fell over them. Shinji put his plate in the sink and preceded to go into the bathroom and take a shower.
'Ahhhhhh, this is nice' thought Shinji as the water beat down over head. And after a while he could only think about one thing.
'Asuka..'
'She's so beautiful...but yet she's so selfish and demanding' added Shinji and he finished his shower and wrapped a towel around his nakedness and got dressed again.
"Hey, Misato called" said Asuka as Shinji walked into the living room.
"She said for us to get down to NERV, another angel" she said.
"Okay" he said and they waked down to NERV.
"So, did Misato say how long we have until this angel get's here?" asked Shinji.
"No, but she wasn't too worried about us getting down there right away" said Asuka. They continued walking down the streets of Tokyo-3.

NERV
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The MAGI have just confirmed that the 23rd angel is on it's way here and will arrive in 15 hours. The plan is for Rei to go attack first and lead it away from NERV. Meanwhile Asuka will be on top of a hill waiting with a sniper. Shinji you will be using a new weapon. It is napalm grenade. You will be armed with only one and only one so use it when the moment is right. Along with the grenade you will be using an axe so if that angel can survive an napalm grenade use your axe" said Misato.
"You want me to wait on a hill with a sniper while Shinji and Rei get to have all the fun!" protested Asuka.
"Yes" replied Misato.
"Shinji you will be going through some simulations using the napalm grenade and remember it's napalm!" said Misato.
"Asuka and Rei you two will be going through some sync tests and harmonics tests" said Misato.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shinji's simulation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Alright Shinji, aim as close as you can to where the angel will be as if walks towards you" said Misato. Shinji looked as the angel walked towards him he threw the grenade. But it went past the angel.
"Don't use a lot of force" said Misato.
"Just aim and lightly toss it" she added. They started over.
'Aim and lightly toss' thought Shinji and he aimed and threw the grenade a second time. This time the angel caught the grenade but as it caught the grenade it exploded, sending burning hot napalm all over the angel. The angel charged at Shinji. Shinji took his axe and waited for the angel. The angel didn't stop and as it was going to strike Shinji he jumped over the angel and struck the beast with his axe. He attacked again with his axe, ruthlessly tearing the angel's flesh and it fell to the ground screaming and it slowly died.
"Good work, Shinji" said Misato. Shinji came out of the simulation.
"Now you will be going through some sync tests and harmonics tests" said Misato.
"Alright, Asuka, Rei you can return home. Meet back here in 12 hours" said Misato and Asuka and Rei went back to the changing room.
"Hey Wondergirl, what do you think about Shinji?" asked Asuka.
"Ikari is...very kind" said Rei.
"Do you love him?" she asked.
"I do not know, it is unlikely" said Rei.
'Oh god don't tell me she likes Shinji!' thought Asuka,
'Why would I care if she likes Shinji! He's just a stupid hentai baka, a doll and a baka...sounds like a perfect match to me' thought Asuka and she was almost in tears. Rei left the changing room.
'Maybe I should wait for Shinji' thought Asuka.
'Can't take the chance of some hentai trying to take advantage of me when i'm all alone' thought Asuka who just made that so she had an excuse to be with Shinji.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Twenty minutes later
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Where the hell is he?' wondered Asuka as she waited for him.
"Uh...Hi, Asuka" said Shinji.
"Ummm were you waiting for me?" he asked.
"Ya, because I don't want to take the chance of getting raped! dummkopf, and besides you need someone around in case you get mugged!" said Asuka.
"Oh, okay" he said and they preceded to go back home only to return in 12 hours.
"So what do you want to do when we get home?" asked Shinji.
"Well I thought you'd make us dinner and I'm going to try on some of my new clothes!" said Asuka.
"Okay" said Shinji. They continued walking home.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Home
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shinji and Asuka walked through the door. Asuka went straight to her room to try on her new clothes, Shinji got some steak from the freezer and got some Japanese steak sauce and some rice and noodles and a frying pan and a cutting board. He took out a knife and began to cut the frozen steak in small portions. He then took some cooking oil and placed a small amount in the frying pan and turned on the lower right hand burner on low. He took the steak and placed it in the pan and added the sauce. He then took out a rice steamer and began cooking the rice. He then took out a pot and added water and placed the noodles in the pot and began cooking them as well. He stirred the steak adding a little bit more sauce every three minutes.
"So Shinji what do you think?" asked Asuka and he turned around to look at her. She was wearing her schoolgirl uniform. Shinji was speechless. She looked gorgeous, the skirt was short and she looked so innocent and pure.
"You look...amazing" said Shinji. Asuka just looked at him in delight and turned around and went back in her room to try something else on. Shinji stirred the steak again and turned off the noodles and rice and turned off the steak and got two plates. He first put the rice on the two plates then the steak and noodles.
"Hey, Asuka!" yelled Shinji.
"Dinners ready" he added. She came out wearing a Gothic maid dress.
"So what do you think?" she asked. Shinji gazed at her. The black clothing really made her look beautiful. She even had long black leather gloves that covered most of her forearm. At the bottom the dress it had white frills which only added to the beauty.
"Wow...You look...beautiful" he said. She blushed and went back to her room and changed back to the clothes she had on before and she came back out for dinner.
"Mmmmmm" exclaimer Asuka while she ate.
"Wow Shinji this is really good!" she said and she continued eating.
"Thanks" he said.
"Well hey I'm going to get some sleep, we have to get up early tonight. We will need the rest" said Shinji.
"Good idea" said Asuka and they put their plates in the sink and retired to their rooms for some sleep.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9-10 hours later
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They both woke from their sleep as their alarm clocks went off. It was five or six o'clock in the morning. The angel had yet to arrive and Shinji and Asuka both got dressed and ran to NERV quickly as they could.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NERV
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They arrived and was about to go through the plan one more time.
"Alright, Rei you will be the first to engage the angel, Asuka you will hide a couple of hundred miles away on a hill with a sniper, Shiji you will have the napalm grenade and the axe so be careful if and when you engage the angel" said Misato.
"Huh! piece of cake!" exclaimed Asuka.
"Then let's get this plan going!" said Misato happily. They went back to the changing rooms and got their plug suits on and got to their Evas.
"We have visual on the angel!" said Maya. They looked at the angel. It's arms were like that of an Eva, instead of walking it floated like a ghost, in it's arms it had partical beams, it's eyes were red and small, it's mouth held thousands of razor sharp fangs, and it's head was long and cylinder like.
"Launch Eva!" yelled Misato and the three children were off.
Immediately Asuka started running to her sniper position and Shinji held behind a building with the grenade and axe. Rei took her assault rifle and fired a volley but all were unsuccessful. The angel put it's arms side by side and it's arms fuse into one and it's AT-field opened up widely as it's partical beam charged.
"Now, Asuka!" yelled Misato and Asuka fired the sniper but it only injured the angel a little. Rei took her Progressive knife and ran at the angel, she jumped to come down on an attack but as she came down the angle immediately looked up at her with it's tiny red eyes and fired it's partical beam. The blast shot through Eva unit-00 causing great amounts of blood to spill from her Eva. That's when Shinji knew he had no other choice but to go now.
He came out from behind the building with his axe and jumped several times and flipped in the air as he dodged many partical beam blasts. He quickly attacked with the axe swinging it with great power and accuracy. His axe easily broke through it's AT-field and he took the napalm grenade and planted it inside one of it's wounds it had gotten from the axe and he ran for cover as the angel screamed at the pain of having an object inserted into one of it's wounds and it exploded inside the angel.
It greatly burned it's insides and it screamed in agony but yet it still lived. Asuka shot the angel again with her sniper only this time she fired a volley of four shots. The shells pierced the angles already wounded and now burning flesh. Shinji came again with his axe and sliced the angel. Meanwhile all of this was happening Rei had managed to get back to NERV and to NERV's hospital. Shinji tore off the angel's head and finally managed to kill the angel. They returned to NERV.
"Good work you guys!" said Misato.
"Thanks" they replied.
"So, where's Wondergirl?" asked Asuka.
"She's in NERV hospital" said Misato.
'Poor, Rei' thought Shinji.
"So have the MAGI confirmed anything yet?" asked Asuka.
"No" said Misato.
"Tomorrow is summer break so I figured we could all go to the beach" said Misato.
"After all, you guys risk your lives for everyone everyday, it's the least I could do" said Misato.
"Alright!" exclaimed Asuka.
"Finally a vacation!" said Asuka.
'Finally another chance to impress and embarrass Shinji all at the same time!' thought Asuka.
'Great! a day at the beach with Asuka. She'll have every guys attention and she'll probably flirt and maybe even find a...Boyfriend!' thought Shinji who turned what was suppose to be something good into what he feared most. They returned home in anticipation for their day in the sun.
AU: Well that's the end of another chapter sorry but I didn't make any changes I probably won't until the last chapter but I promise they'll be good!
