In Gendo's office a scientist quickly runs into the room……
Gendo notices the scientist who enters the room running ,trying to catch his breath.
What is it Dr?
We've……we've found a…..piece of paper…..hidden inside…..inside the time machine……Sir . He says while trying to catch his breath.
And what of this paper?
It's the pass code…..to turn on the time machine.
And did it work?
Yes Sir….the Time machine is…..fully operational.
Did you find anything peculiar?
Yes , we found an object that the computer dubbed " Dragon radar" . I have it right here. He pulls out a round machine from his pocket and hands it over to Gendo.
He spots a large button on top of the radar and pushes it , turning on the radar with a beep.
Interesting , so this is the Dragon radar.
The radar read " No dragon balls detected" in the bottom screen.
( So Trunks was telling the truth. ) he thinks to himself.
And what of the Time machine?
All of its systems are on and running Sir.
Can we use it right now? He said almost jumping from his chair.
No Sir , it seems that we need someone who knows how to navigate it.
Like Trunks?
Yes Sir , but he doesn't want to cooperate.
Why not?
He says that it is too dangerous.
Tell him to come here inm….
"I'm here". Trunks suddenly comes into the room.
Why don't you want to navigate the Time machine? He quickly says.
Because there could be another error , there is a high chance that I would end up in a black hole.
And how do you know that?
My mother was the one that organized the time machine to go to that exact timeline…..and because of one little miscalculation I ended up here.
So what's your point?
Imagine what would happen if I just entered the time stream blindly. The chances of appearing in the exact millisecond and the exact dimension are one in billions.
The only chance that I could know were to go is if I was able to talk with my mother…..and she's probably already…….(he's not able to say the last word)
Gendo's heart feels like it was stabbed as his dreams shatter.
And what if…. we somehow traced the ships last position and contact your mother?
And how are you going to do that? You need some kind of super computer to achieve that.
Don't underestimate the power of NERV. We'll use the MAGI system.
You mean…..there's a way that I can still complete my mission! Trunks says as his hopes lit up.
Yes , do we have a deal?
Hell yeah we have a deal!
Both of them shake hands as the deal to save both worlds takes place.
Deep down in SEELE , nine stone monoliths are furious.
One of the monoliths lights up .
This is unacceptable , this boy is ruining our plans for third impact!
Yes , now that Gendo has this "time machine" he has no use for third impact.
We must destroy it before everything we've worked for is ruined.
I am most interested in this "Dragon Balls"
Yes , if we use them we can wish for third impact to happen instantaneously.
We can cause third impact without them , we need to destroy the time machine as soon as possible.
And what of this boy? Even if we destroy the time machine , he might still be able to stop third impact.
No , with his abilities , they will kill the Angels even faster, thus speeding up the process.
Then all is going according to plan.
Yes , nothing from this world or the next can stop humanity's unification.
The next day in the Katsuragi residence…
It was morning and Shinji had just woken up to make breakfast.
Hey Asuka , Misato breakfast is ready!
Nobody answers.
Guys! He yells.
PIPE DOWN BAKA! Asuka screams while opening her door.
I heard you the first time.
Good morning Asuka , did you sleep well after the earthquake?
Yeah what do you care. What did you make?
I made bacon , eggs and ham.
Mmmm smells good! She drools over her pajamas.
Yeah sit down I'll serve you in minute.
He gives Asuka her plate and she starts devouring it like she had never ate before.
Wow! Guess you were really hungry. He says as he starts to eat his own breakfast.
Shinji notices that Misato hasn't woken up yet.
Hey Asuka , were is Misato?
Yeah , she was called around five in the morning and left to NERV. She sounded rather annoyed . She says while eating her breakfast.
Really? I didn't hear the car starting?
That's because you snore like a wild bore.
I don't snore!
Oh yes you do, I can hear you when I go to the bathroom at night.
What do you do? You stop in front of my door to listen?
No! You snore so loud that's sometimes I can even hear it in my room. She yells at him spitting food in his face.
Don't talk with your mouth full.
WHY YOU!
The door rings all of a sudden saving Shinji from Asuka's beating.
That must be Misato right now. Shinji says running to the door from Asuka.
He opens the door and is met by an angry Misato.
Umm what's wrong Misato? He asks.
Do you want to know what's wrong! She points behind her." That's what's wrong!
Shinji looks behind Misato and sees Trunks with a bag over his shoulder.
Misato don't tell me Trunks is staying over here tonight? He says loudly.
Not staying here , he's going to be living here from now on! She yells angrily.
WHAT! Asuka screams looking at Trunks entering the apartment.
You've got to be joking! There's no way I'm living here with him! She says.
I'm afraid so. What do they think this is, a daycare center? Misato says closing the door.
And where is he going to sleep? Shinji asks afraid of the answer.
He's going to sleep with you in your room.
No way! After what he did to Rei! There's no way I'm going to sleep in the same room as him. He pointed at Trunks who was already putting his stuff in his room.
Shinji , I have some things to explain to you about what happened. Trunks said looking sorry for himself.
Don't call me Shinji! I'm not your friend!
Then I'll explain later. Now I have to go to do something with the commander.
What the hell do you have with my father!
He's your father! I thought it was weird that he was also named Ikari but I didn't think he was your father.
I HATE HIM! He's brought me nothing but pain! Shinji screamed at Trunks.
Shi…Ikari , your father is not the man you think he is. He is a good man , you should be proud you even have a father.
He left everyone confused at his words and left.
What did he mean by that? Maybe I do need some explanation.
Trunks left to begin the plan he had with the commander.
