Chapter 2
The Central Command Center of Nerv was suddenly very quite. Everyone was more then shocked to hear Commander Fuyutsuki's development. They had all thought that there were only five children ever chosen but now they knew that there was at least seven.
No one was more confused or aggravated then Misato. She was supposed to be his vice commander and yet he had never mentioned these other pilots to her. Who the hell does he think he is hiding this from me? Can I trust him anymore then I could Gendo? All of a sudden a look of fear crossed her eyes. What about the Eva's, were they made the same way as the others? Misato gritted her teeth and turned towards the commander with fire in her eyes. She was pissed and she wanted answers now. "When exactly were you going to inform the rest of us about these pilots? I think we all had the right to know way before this."
Shinji, Toji, and Rei were all astonished. Not only had they just been informed of SEELE's ultimatum, and the fact that there were two more pilots out there but Misato was actually arguing with the commander and she looked like she was ready to deck him. If she had done this to Gendo she would have been fired and removed from the building by now.
"I was hoping that they would never be needed so I would never have to reveal their existence." He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Besides Misato, who are you to question my judgment? I never hid the files I just never made them public knowledge until now." The commander knew that there was going to be a confrontation if he ever revealed the pilots, he just didn't know it would be this calm. Glancing around at everyone in the room he nodded his head towards the screen as if telling them to watch it. He looked down at the blank screen on his consol and wished that the main screen was more like that one. After waiting for a few seconds he pushed a button on his consol, seemed he was doing that a lot lately. On the main screen the picture and the statistics of the teenage boy were enlarged so each took up half of the screen.
The boy looked to be of an athletic build and had fairly light skin. His hair was a crimson red almost auburn color, it was styled so it parted down the middle and the length of the sides and front went down to about the tip of his ears while the back was cut down pretty short. His eyes were so dark that they almost looked black but were actually just a deep dark brown. He was dressed in a plug suit that's main color was white with black details on it. The numbers on his plug suit read "04" and where in bold red type. The statistics next to the picture read:
Name: Garrett Stroh
Rank: The Sixth Child, Eva Pilot
Age: 17
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 180 lbs.
Hair: Red
Eyes: Brown
Location: Nerv 4, Ireland
Status: On Hold
Eva Assignment: Eva Unit 04
History: His father died on the Katsuragi expedition and his mother died as well during the explosion caused by Eva Unit 04's prototype S2 organ's failed test in Nerv 2 Nevada. Since he was born he lived in a small apartment with his aunt and older sister. The siblings were unable to live with their mother due to her important work with Nerv. He was removed from his aunt's house when his older sister was killed in an activation test of Eva Unit 15. At that time he was moved into Nerv 4 and has been living and training there ever since. He has been trained in the use of single long swords, double short swords, rifles, and handguns. He was chosen for the Eva Project when he was 13 and was originally trained to pilot Eva Unit 15. After Third Impact, Eva Unit 15 was never recovered leaving him without an Eva. Soon after the S2 organ from Eva Unit 04 was found floating in the sea of LCL. When it was recovered it was brought to Ireland where the Eva was rebuilt and modified like Eva Units 01, 02, and 03. After Eva Unit 04 was rebuilt Garrett was assigned to be its pilot. Since his reassignment he has been undergoing more training in preparation for call to active status.
Eva Description: Based off of the production model it is built the same as Eva Unit 02. The armor's main color is white while the lines in the armor and the arms are black and red. The unit's head is almost exactly like Unit 02's except that it has two eyes instead of four. The unit is designed to use all weapons and every type of armor. For weapons it normally carries two long swords on the left hip, the hilts placed one right above the other, two short swords on the back of the belt, the hilts also placed one above the other, a handgun connected on the right hip, and a short sword in each of the hidden leg compartments.
"This is the first of the two new pilots." Fuyutsuki started, "Since everyone here knows that an Eva contains a human soul you should all know that Unit 04 now contains his mother's while his old unit, Eva Unit 15, contained his sister's." He stopped for a second to lean back slightly in his chair. "We will be sending pilot's Ikari and Suzahara to Ireland to retrieve Pilot Stroh and Unit 04." He pushed a few more buttons on his consol and the section of the statistics labeled "Status" flashed a few times before changing to "Status: Active".
Misato, who up until this moment was to busy staring at the information of the new pilot, suddenly turned towards the Commander and stared at him with her mouth open wide. She didn't really like the thought of any of the pilots leaving Tokyo 3 under the present circumstances.
"You know, you might just catch a few flies that way Ms. Misato" Toji said with a grin as he started to laugh. Even under the intense atmosphere that was in the control room he couldn't help but crack a joke. Besides doesn't everyone need a good laugh during times like these? His thinking did not interrupt his laughter in the least.
Misato snapped her mouth shut and glared at the young pilot for a second before she turned her attention back to the commander. "Sir, won't they need a guardian? I mean they are only 17 years old." She was really starting to wonder what was going on in the head of the new commander.
Shinji and Toji now stared at Misato with their mouths hanging open. Neither one of them could believe that she didn't trust them with this. Sure the last time they were sent to a foreign country alone they ended up getting arrested for fighting but that wasn't their fault it was Asuka's. She was the one that slapped the guy because he looked at her.
Misato laughed out loud when she saw the boys' expression and couldn't help herself. "Toji are you and Shinji trying to catch flies or would you rather catch Hikari's and Asuka's tongues?" She watched with great amusement when the boys closed their mouths as fast as she had closed hers, and smirked at their blushes. Toji's joke may have been aimed at her but it did seem to lighten up the mood quite a bit.
Everyone by now had turned their attention away from the screen or the commander and to the pilots and vice commander. It was always a good day when they got to see these fights and couldn't wait to see what happened next. Most thought it was better then a movie and the price couldn't be beat since they were paid to be there. They just wished that there was popcorn for sale.
Rei wasn't able to contain herself any more and began laughing so hard she was bent over holding her stomach. This of course caught Shinji's and Toji's attention and just as Toji was about to step towards her to confront her himself Shinji spoke up. "You shouldn't bend over like that without Kensuke around. After all didn't Asuka teach you to only do that around the guy you want to touch your ass?"
All of a sudden Rei stood straight up and her face was redder then Asuka's plug suit. She glared over at her brother and Toji who by this time was laughing so hard he had tears in his eyes. Just because he was her brother didn't mean he had the right to say such things. I must remember to get revenge on them later. Her blush slowly started to fade as she grew angrier and angrier.
Fuyutsuki sighed again coughed to get everyone's attention. He didn't need Rei killing the other pilots present, especially not now. "I believe that the two of them will be fine doing this on their own." He smiled to himself slightly when the male pilots gave each other a high five and looked like the Cheshire cat they were smiling so much. "I believe this because they will be taken straight from here in an aircraft directly to Nerv 4 and then brought straight back." He couldn't help but smile more when the boys' smiles went away just as quickly as they appeared. "Now if you two would be on your way." He pushed yet another button on his consol and two Section 2 agents appeared at the door waiting for the pilots.
Shinji and Toji sighed simultaneously and followed the agents to the carrier they would be taking. They were upset because they would be watched the entire time but at least they got to go to another country for a little while.
After the boys had left Commander Fuyutsuki pushed yet another button on his consol and the image and statistics of the male pilot were replaced by the ones of the female pilot. "This is Pilot Smith." He watched as everyone turned their attention back to the screen. On which was a picture of a very cute girl, it was beginning to seem that in order to be a female Eva pilot you had to be cute and well blessed in the figure department.
Not that anyone was paying attention to the statistics but they read:
Name: Emma Rose Smith
Rank: The Seventh Child, Eva Pilot
Age: 17
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 115 lbs.
Hair: Black
Eyes: Blue
Location: Nerv 2, Nevada
Status: On Hold
Eva Assignment: Eva Unit 14
History: Emma came from a well off family. Her father was a scientist with Nerv but before he joined up he was an inventor and made many useless gadgets that everyone seemed to want. Her mother died during child birth with Emma's brother who also died during labor. After her mother died her father moved to Russia to work at the Nerv base there taking her with him. She was chosen as the pilot for Eva Unit 14 in Russia when it was discovered that she was a natural with long range weapons. During the first activation of Unit 14 he father was the test pilot. About two minutes into the test the Eva went berserk and her father hit a 400 percent sync ratio causing him to be absorbed into the Eva. He was never recovered. Instead of delving into a deep depression when her father died she focused all of her energy on piloting the Eva. Three weeks after her father's accident she had her activation test and was steady at a 50 sync ratio. She was set to deploy to Tokyo 3, in secret, the day of Third Impact but for obvious reasons she was not. Since her recovery after Third Impact She and the Eva have been moved to a newly rebuilt Nerv 2 in Nevada where she has been training ever since.
Eva Description: Eva Unit 14 is a production model so it looks almost exactly like Units 02, 03, and 04. The main difference is the number of eyes and the color of the Eva. The Eva has 3 eyes on the left side of the head and two eyes on the right. Each set of eyes are in a vertical column and match up so the eyes on the right side go where the gaps between the ones on the left side are. The Eva is primarily pink with white accents in the armor. Though it is capable of using all weapons and armor types the present pilot prefers to only use long and short range rifles and handguns.
Though nobody was reading the statistics they got most of the physical description from the picture that they were paying attention to. In it Emma's hair length was down a little bit past her chin and was parted down the middle. The left side was held up with a pink burette while the right side was just tucked behind her ear. Her skin was a tanner color showing that she spent a lot of time out in the sun. Her eye shadow and lip-gloss were both a bright pink that almost matched the plug suit she was wearing. The plug suit was almost entirely the bright pink except for the bold white numbers that read "14".

Asuka slowly opened her eyes to take in the area around her. She was surprised to see that it was one of the many hospital rooms that were in the Nerv base. Except for routine check ups and visits she hadn't been there in almost three years. What happened? Last I remember the commander was talking and…. All of a sudden the memory came crashing down on her and her eyes widened in fear. They're back… I can't believe that they have returned. Why now? What if I die against them again… what if I can't do it? She sighed and slowly started to sit up in the bed checking to make sure she was still clothed before letting the sheet drop. No, enough of these thoughts, I have to do this. I have to help Shinji and the others. I have to prove once and for all that I am the best Eva Pilot. She knew this wasn't true but she had to hold onto her attitude somehow. After all it made her who she was.
Asuka waited a few minutes for someone to show up before she noticed a note on a table next to the bed. "Please come back to the Control Room once you awaken." She read it out loud to her self before forcing herself out of the bed and out the door her head hung low. I wish… I wish Shinji would have been there to get me instead of just a stupid fucking note. No matter how hard she tried she couldn't shake the fact that she liked the spineless baka. It was a good thing for her that everyone else was very occupied at the moment or someone might have seen the blush that hinted her cheeks. A good thing to all of her thinking was that it had made her walk go by a lot faster and when she looked up she had already reached the door.
Upon entering the room she noticed that the only person that acknowledged her presence was Commander Fuyutsuki, and all he did was smile. She turned her head to look around the room and noticed the absence of Shinji and the other stooge. Where the hell did those two go off to at a time like this? About to voice her opinion she noticed the picture of the girl on the screen and in that instant her words changed dramatically. "Who the hell where's that much fucking pink at once and why is she in a plug suit?" Her voice tore apart the silence abruptly.
Rei was busy staring at the picture like everyone else so she didn't hear the door open but she definitely heard Asuka's question. She turned towards her friend and smiled slightly before pointing to the picture with her left hand. "You wear that much fucking red at once so what's your point?" Her smile widened at the look of shock and anger that lit up across Asuka's face.
"What… if you weren't such a good friend I'd deck you one." A few years ago Asuka might have meant the threat but now it was just a playful game between best friends.
Misato decided now was a good time to intervene even if it was all a game. "This is the Seventh Child, Pilot Smith. You and Rei are to go to Nerv 2 in Nevada to retrieve her." She didn't think that Asuka would like this and she was right.
Asuka was just about to blow a gasket on anyone and anything when the commander spoke up. "Those are your orders and I want them done now." He frowned when Asuka let out a grunt and walked at a very forced pace to the door.
Rei frowned at the Commander and Ms. Misato before bowing and racing off after her friend. This is going to be one long trip.

That's it for Chapter 2. The next chapter will be Shinji and Toji picking up the Sixth Child and Chapter 4 will be about Rei and Asuka picking up the Seventh. Thank you to all those who have read I hope you enjoyed. Please Review.
