Shinji takes everything back to Asuka, and she's been wondering where he's been. He just finds some food for her to eat, opens it for her and hands it to her. He then gets his own food, sits dowd...and pulls out his mp3 player and listens to music while eating.
"Shinji?...Shinji!!"
Shinji continues to listen to his mp3 and does not hear Asuka
"SHINJI IKARI!"
"Huh? Oh, Asuka...nani?"
"What happened? What took you so long to get back? Tell me now…and what else is in there? Looks really big...What did you find? Tell me, tell me, tell me!"
"It's nothing..."
"What do you mean nothing?! I know there's something in there...tell me damn it!"
'I can't tell her...' Shinji thought, 'if I tell her, she's going to break down...or she might react differently. I don't know what to say...someone help me...'
"Shinji...What the hell is the matter with you? Answer me god damn it!"
"If I tell you...you have to stay calm...ok?"
"Of course I'm gonna stay calm. What do you take me as? A pathetic weakling like you? Show me already!"
Shinji walks over to the cloth and begins to untie it. While he unties it...he suddenly hears something in his head.
'I wonder what he's hiding in there. Must be something perverted like usual...'
"Asuka..."
"Huh? What?"
"Did you say something to me?"
"No...I didn't even speak. Are you going to open it or not?"
"...Sorry...hold on"
Shinji unties the cloth and looks back at Asuka.
"You can't say anything...just stay calm and accept what is there ok?"
"Yea, yea whatever...hurry up and show me"
Shinji then tosses the top cover to the side and reveals Misato's body.
"......................................"
"Asuka? Asuka? Are you ok?"
".............................................I'm fine...just leave me alone for a while..."
"You sure you're ok?"
"I said leave me alone!"
Shinji walks out of the room and sits down on the benches just outside of the room. He listens to his mp3 and just waits...
"Cowboy this is War Pig...over"
"War Pig this is Cowboy...what's your status?"
"We've reached the perimeter. My squad is setting up a perimeter defense now."
"Good. Keep an eye out for anything. If there are anymore survivors out there, get your squad medic to knock them out with the tranquilizers. Copy?"
"Roger, I copy that...over and out."
The Ghost team was still looking around for survivors and yet have not found any. Ninja was still wondering what the hell was talking to him in his head. To get his mind off it, he started to whistle his favorite tune...
'Whistling to Kill Bill when the nurse walks down the hall'
"Ninja! Cut that shit out! Everybody on alert!"
"What is it CO?" Ninja replied to him telepathically.
"I've got heat signatures coming from 3 o'clock." Cowboy replied back. "Everyone off the com's. Speak with each other telepathically. Everyone split into 2 man groups. Make sure your personal clocking device is on."
"Yes, sir!" all Ghosts replied simultaneously.
As Ninja got his buddy and turned on his cloaking device...he heard something from around the corner. He motioned for his buddy to stop.
"I hear something from around the corner. Get the tranquilizers ready."
As soon as he said this, his buddy, Papa Smurf, was preparing the tranqs. Ninja popped his head around the corner slowly so that the shimmering of the cloaking field didn't give away his position.
"CO..."
"What is it Ninja?"
"I've got my sights hot."
"What is it?"
"One of the survivors. The tranqs are ready to go..."
"Wait, see if he's with the other one. We'll move to your position."
Ninja stealthily moved close enough to Shinji so that he could still retreat if he needed to. Right then and there, Shinji looked up and down the hall. He had a weird feeling in him. Like there was something there, but as he looked around there was nothing.
'It's not possible. It seems like someone's there...'Shinji thought 'everyone died after the Third Impact...'
Shinji then turned off his mp3 and walked back inside the room to Asuka and had a weird feeling that they were not alone at NERV headquarters.
"Asuka...Asuka...wake up..."
"Huh? What is it?"
Asuka's eyes were red and puffy from all the crying she had done...she couldn't help it, but Misato was dead. Her body was lying in front of her. How could she not cry.
'Misato...' Asuka thought sullenly...'why...why did this happen to you?'
"It's ok Asuka...she lived her life and did what she lived for. She accomplished her lifetime goal. There's nothing we can do..." Shinji replied.
"Huh? Shinji...I didn't say anything. What are you talking about?"
That's when Shinji noticed something. He thought he had heard Asuka say something. But he must be hearing what she's thinking about.
'Am I hearing right? Or do I have telepathic powers?' he questioned himself thoughtfully 'Maybe I can read her mind but she doesn't know. What the hell is going on here? First I hear Misato's voice in my head. Now I think I'm beginning to hear Asuka's. Am I going crazy?'
Ninja was outside the door with the rest of his team. He was able to hear all this from Shinji. All he knew were three words. Misato, Asuka, and Shinji. Everything else seemed to be in a foreign language, something like Japanese or some type of Asian dialect. The thing that was weird to him was, only he could hear this...no one else could...
"CO...I think there are 3 survivors in there."
"How is that possible?! Our readings only show 2!"
"I don't know...but I have a weird feeling. It's either 3 survivors, or 2 survivors and a body. We better check it out"
"Ok. Everyone spread out and make a perimeter. I want Ninja, Papa Smurf, and Kit Fox in one team. You guy's will move in on them. Everyone else on alert and keep your eye's peeled. Move Out!"
"Haha! Alright I'm gone..." replied Kit Fox.
"Alright Kit Fox. This is Ninja. Listen to me carefully. There is another entrance on the other side. It seems like our friends here turned around and are now facing the other way. I want you to go to the entrance. It should be open because I'm getting heat signatures from the other door. Move in. Without alerting their presence, I want you to come and open the door Papa Smurf and I are facing now a crack, not all the way. After that move back to your original position at the other door and get ready for anything that might come that way alright?"
"Affirmative."
"GO...NOW!"
As Kit Fox moves to the other entrance, he notices that in the middle of the other hallway there is a large hole in the middle of it.
"Ninja...this is Kit Fox. Can you hear me?"
"Loud and Clear. What's your situation?"
"There's a hole in the middle of this hallway. What do you want me to do?"
"You have stims don't you? Use two and get a running start from the other end of the hallway and clear it."
"Alright, here I go..."
Over the com's Ninja hears Kit Fox using the stims. (stims are similar to anabolic steroids. But they enhance your reflexes, and increases your speed.)
"Pssshhh...Ah yea!"
Kit Fox starts at the other wall all pumped from the stims and starts running quickly. He gains speed and clears the hole with ease.
"All cleared..."
"Good job. Proceed with your assignment."
Kit Fox proceeded to the door and entered. He took a glance at the survivors and the surrounding room.
'What the hell?!?! They're only kids!'
"Ninja...we got a prob."
"What is it? The survivors are only kids."
"No problem, just proceed with your assignment. Anything else?"
"Yea, you were right about a third body..."
