Me no own Eva
Howdy! Well this is the new installment on my story, I hope you like it!
I bet that you noticed that I was using the alphabet as page breaks, and since I don't like those lines, and I'm running out of letters I'll be using instruments as the new page breaks. I also want to apologize for taking three years to update. Yes, three years passed you just didn't notice.
EVIL SASQUATCHES!
The chapter is named this because nobody submitted an animal in their review and a Sasquatch was the first animal I could think of
Gambino sat in the holding cell and chuckled to himself.
"Sir, please come with me" an agent dressed completely in black said icily to Gambino as he unlocked the door to cell.
"Okay officer" Gambino said.

"So Sudakai, Gambino. That is your name, correct?" Gendo asked the man who was currently handcuffed to the fold out metal chair that was placed in the middle of his office.
Fuyutsuki stood behind him with his arms crossed behind his back.
"Yea" Gambino answered gruffly
Gendo shuffled some papers on his desk and fashioned his fingers into his notorious pose.
"I would like to offer you an agreement." Gendo said then paused.
"You will work for me, and if you decide not to, you will be sent back to the barracks until you change your mind." Gendo finished.
"Well, what would I be doin'?" Gambino asked unsurely, his green eyes tried to search Gendo's, but he couldn't discern anything through the old man's opaque glasses.
"You'll know when you start" Gendo said coldly, and a smirk formed on his face. "Will you accept?"
"I guess" Gambino said It was nice of him to ask me instead of just throwing me out there, but I think he's trying to intimidate me Gambino thought.
"I have something else to tell you, Sudakai" Gendo paused, "If you try to escape or if you tell anyone any secret information I will have you annihilated." Gendo reshuffled the papers on his desk. "You will also die if you fail me" he added.
The men sat in silence for a while then Gendo ordered Gambino out.
"What are you doing Ikari!" Fuyutsuki hissed in Gendo's ear "You can't hire him! Look at what he did to the pilot of Unit One!"
"I'm the commander of Nerv, I can do what ever I want" Gendo replied.
Fuyutsuki continued, "What makes you think he wasn't trying to get into Nerv anyway, his children work here now, and I'm sure he hasn't forgotten what we did to them." Silence covered the room as Fuyutsuki waited for Gendo to reply. Frustrated now, Fuyutsuki brought his fist down hard on Gendo's desk and bent down to look Gendo in the eye, "This is idiocy" he whispered.
"Fuyutsuki," Gendo said calmly, "Leave my office now or I will be forced to call Section 2 to escort you out."
Fuyutsuki stood there startled at what Gendo had said, then he straightened himself out and left the office. But he wasn't at a loss- he had a destination.
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
"Dr. Akagi" Fuyutsuki said when he entered the woman's office. "I need a favor"
"What is it Fuyutsuki?" Ritsuko asked, surprised.
"Gendo hired that creep, Gambino. The father of the new pilots"
"What? Why?" Ritsuko said surprised at what she had just heard.
"I don't know anything about it, but just in case Gambino tries to cause us any trouble I need you to put some blocks on his computer so he can't access any information on the MAGI, the children or the Evas." Ritsuko nodded and Fuyutsuki went on.
"I also want you to change the passwords for access to anything that's top secret. Most importantly, make sure he can't get any information about the instrumentality project. I also want you to add some more Section Two agents to the group that's going to be watching him. I want at least five agents watching him at all times, do you understand Ritsuko?" Fuyutsuki asked
"Yes sir" the doctor replied. "I'll get right on it."

Gambino opened the door to his new apartment. He set down the bag he had been given. In it he had a Nerv outfit and their standard issue gun. He was surprised that they trusted him enough to give him a gun.
I wonder if it's the Koochiching shot me with, that bastard. That hurt. His apartment was bare, and he only had the bloody clothes that he had been wearing when he'd been caught. He would have to go shopping; he couldn't fathom seeing them in this.
He looked around and on his bed he saw a pair of shorts and a shirt. On top of the clothing he saw a note that said Wear this, meet us in thirty minutes. "Well, I'm guessin' these'll do" Gambino said.
Gambino's legs where chalk white because he never wore shorts, especially shorts this short, and the shirt was to small and had flowers all over it. He felt like an idiot, but being late would not be tolerated, he would go shopping afterwards. He had a meeting to attend.

"Howdy, Gendo!" Gambino said cheerfully. "Never figured I'd be seein' ya here!"
Gendo didn't reply to Gambino, but instead he kept walking down the dimly hall. They both went though a door only to be met by giant pillars that had giant red numbers on them.
"I see you have followed our directions" one of the pillars said.
"I am here to protest this action." Gendo said calmly
"This will not be debated, Ikari. You have disobeyed us before, and we will tolerate it no longer. Sudakai is here to make sure you won't stray from the path to instrumentality"
"I do not need overlooking, and Sudakai can not be trusted. He tried to kidnap the Third Child." Gendo argued.
"That was gittin' revenge, ya crack head!" Gambino screamed.
"There will be no more acts of revenge now will there, Sudakai?" the pillar said
"No sir" Gambino answered.
"There. Gambino won't be doing anymore damage Ikari. He will continue to watch you. Goodbye." The monolith disappeared.
"Very well, Seele" Gendo replied, then he turned on his heel and left the room, with Gambino at his side.

Ritsuko finished what she had been told to do and took her glasses off.
"That better be worth all the sleep I just lost. I'm supposed to be here to begin work in two hours. I've been here all night. I'm putting in for overtime"

"Hey, Gendo" Gambino said, "I need you to sign these here papers so I can git on this ship so I can go pick up the Sercond child" Gambino finished as he entered the room. Unlike the day before Fuyutsuki wasn't behind Gendo.
"You will not be going to receive the Second Child. Katsuragi and the Children are." Gendo replied. "Oh, yeah I forgot to tell ya that Seele's sendin' me wit em. You know, just to make sure nuttin' goes wrong" Gambino smiled at Gendo and put the papers on his desk. "Now couldja please sign these?" Gendo signed the papers and Gambino left.
Fuyutsuki wasn't in Gendo's room and hadn't been there since he told him to get out. Maybe it was a bad idea not to tell him Fuyutsuki about Gambino and Seele Gendo thought.

"Yes Keel?" Gambino said
"Hack into Nerv, find everything you can about the MAGI the pilots and their Evas. Try to find out what Ikari is trying to do next here are all of the passwords. Do not fail me Gambino"
"Yes sir" Gambino said

Gambino walked into his new office, and sat down in the chair that was placed in front of his computer. He turned the computer on and, just as he had expected, the first thing it asked for was a password. He looked at the list of passwords Keel had given him and he entered the one that would unlock the computer.
Gambino worked for an hour, then he started getting trouble. His passwords weren't working anymore, and if he didn't get this information for Keel he wouldn't get what he wanted.
This is what everything is for right? I wouldn't be working for that old fart if I couldn't get what I wanted.
He didn't want to try to enter the password again, it would be the third time he would have entered the password in wrong, and Gambino had watched enough movies to know that if you entered the password wrong three times something bad happened.
But he needed to get that information for Keel. Then he could disappear and pretend like this had never happened. But more importantly he needed to get the information for them.
He entered the password one more time, and a message popped up on his screen.
You have entered the password wrong for the third time. Enter the employee password right now
"What woulda employee put as a password if he couldn't remember his own? Hm, 'Gendo is a crack head'" Gambino slowly typed in the password. A siren went off shortly after.
"It's wrong? What in tarnation do you mean it's wrong?" Gambino said as he stood up and threw the computer across the room.
Section two agents filtered into the room and pointed their guns at him.
"Freeze! Now! Put your hands above your head!" One of the agents yelled
"Hot spam! All right, I'm doin' it ya ain't gotta yell" Gambino said.

Shinji waked into the apartment glad to be home.
"How does it feel to be home Shinji?" Misato asked
"It feels great Misato"
"I wanted to know if you wanted to go with me to go pick up the Second Child. I think you'd like it, you can even invite your friends." Misato suggested.
Misato prayed that he would say yes, Who knows, maybe picking up Asuka will help him out a little bit and besides I don't want him to sit in the house forever because that creep kidnapped him.
Shinji looked unsure and Misato knew he was about to say no.
"Why don't we bring along Keiko along, yeah! That'll be great!"
"W-who's Keiko?" Shinji asked.
"Oh, yeah that's right you wouldn't know about that"
"Is he-"
"Keiko is a girl, and I think she likes you" Misato said enjoying the blush that spread across his face. "She has a brother named Rai. She was a stand in pilot for you while you were gone."
"Does her father work for Nerv? Or was she called in like me?" Shinji asked
Misato decided to switch topics then
"Oh don't worry about her dad! Are ya coming or not?"
"Well I don't know Misato. I just got back and-"
"Great! I knew you'd come! We're picking her up in about four days so ask those friends of yours if they wanna come to! Thanks Shinji I really appreciate it." Misato said.
"Okay Misato" Shinji replied
Misato walked to him and gave him a hug. "I'm glad you're home. Ritsuko's got you scheduled for a sync test tomorrow you think you can handle it?" after receiving a nod she continued "Do you think you can handle school tomorrow?" after receiving another nod from Shinji she let him go. "Okay go to sleep, you have a long day tomorrow"

"Welcome back Shinji!" Kensuke said while slapping him on the back. Toji saw them enter the classroom together and he sprang up from his seat
"Shinji! I thought that you died!"
"I told that idiot you weren't dead, but he wouldn't believe me" Kensuke said. "So why were you gone? Was it Nerv related? What'd you do! You were gone so long, it must have been really important."
"Don't listen to that bonehead. He doesn't what he's talkin' about. Hey, did you hear we got a new student. Two actually, they're brother and sister, the girl's really good lookin'." Toji said
"Yeah" Kensuke said "Him and Rai have the same mental disorder so they get along real well. Hey did you get hit? It looks like you had some bruises on your face."
"No I didn't get hit." Shinji said trying not to look suspicious, but it seemed like Toji and Kensuke weren't buying it. He looked for something to distract them.
"Hey, who's that?" Shinji said and he pointed at the boy who had just walked into the classroom behind him there was a girl.
"That's Rai. Hey! Over here!" Toji called to the boy. Rai came over to were all the boys were sitting whole the girl that had been walking behind him wandered over to where Hikari was sitting.
"Hey Toji!" Rai said and he stopped as soon as his eyes landed on the Third Child. "Hi" Rai said coldly. He knew he shouldn't have been mean to somebody he didn't know but whoever made his sister cry was an enemy of his.
The school day was over and Shinji, Toji, Kensuke and Rai were walking to their destinations. Hikari and Keiko were behind them, and soon Toji, Hikari and Kensuke went to their houses. Keiko walked up to join Rai and Shinji. Is that he boy I saw in the hospital? Keiko wondered she leaned forward to see the boy's face, if his face still had bruises on it; this was the boy she couldn't talk to. His face has bruises on it, she could barely see them but they were there.
This was the boy her father had beaten. She didn't mean to but she gasped, and both boys turned to look at her.
"You okay Keiko?" Rai asked
"Are you alright?" Shinji said.
Rai looked at Shinji "Why would you care about her?"
"I didn't mean to um. I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt I thought she might be hurt or something" Shinji replied while he looked away and scratched the back of his head.
"Well she's not so you can go home" Rai said and he grabbed his sister's hand and pulled her off towards Nerv.
"Rai! Why'd you do that he was just concerned for me. You didn't have to blow up at him like that." Keiko said
"He was being nosey" Rai answered
"He asked me if I was okay! You're over reacting Rai"
"But he made you cry"
"No, Father made me cry"
"Yeah, you're right"
"We'd better get going Rai, or we're going to be late for those sync tests"

As soon as Shinji got to Nerv he changed into his plug suit and went to the Eva cages. He was twenty minutes early and Ritsuko was still trying to get everything together. He sat in a vacant chair and waited. Soon after that Rei came into the room and waited on the wall.
Shinji was just lazing around in a chair when Keiko and Rai got to Nerv Headquarters.
"You two are late again" Ritsuko said not even looking up from her clipboard. "Go get into your plug suits so we can get started."
The children gave her a confused look.
"What?" Ritsuko asked.
"Well, I don't have an Eva" Keiko said
"So?"
"How am I gonna have a sync test with out an Eva?" Keiko asked timidly
"Oh, yeah! You're not actually having a sync test, you're here to learn. You did kill those angels but we'd be a lot safer if your scores were higher. So, you're going to watch your fellow pilots sync with their Evas and you're going to take notes on what they do and hopefully you'll improve." Ritsuko said happily. "Oh, here's a notebook".
Keiko sat down in a chair and began writing notes.

"Come on Shinji, wake up! If we're late they're gonna kill me!" Misato said bursting through Shinji's door. She was about to panic when she didn't see him in his room until she heard his voice
"I'm in the kitchen Misato. Breakfast's almost done."
"Oh. Well! You get to meet the Second Child today Shinji, her name's Asuka. She might act like she hates you for a while, but don't worry she'll warm up to you. She's really likeable."
"Really? Another pilot that's a lot of them." Shinji replied
"We won't ever have too many pilots. Those angels get tougher every time they show up. C'mon kiddo we have to go pick up Rai and Keiko." Misato saw Shinji tense up when she started talking about them.
"What is it Shinji? Is it because their dad was the one that kidnapped you?"
"What?" Shinji asked surprised "Misato what did you just say?"
"What do you mean Shinji, I didn't say anything"
"Yes you did, Misato what did you just say?"
"Oh, that I said that uh, um I wonder who had kidnapped you yeah, that's it. That's what I said" Misato held her breath and hoped the lie worked. She was relieved when she saw him turn around.
Shinji put his head on the counter and Misato went to him and gave him a hug
"Shinji, you don't have to be afraid of those kids. It'll be alright."
"That's not it, well not really. Rai- I don't think he likes me very much. I think he hates me."
"Aw come on Shinji, he'll warm up to you." She let go of the boy and looked at him. He still looked depressed. "Plus, I think Keiko has a crush on you. Maybe Asuka'll end up likin' ya to, you could end up bein' a real playboy Shinji!" Misato let loose a cackle when she saw Shinji blush. Misato casually glanced at the clock and then began running towards the door, "Crap Shinji, you made us late! We'll never get there in time now!"
"What? I've been ready!"
"Get in the car hurry up!" Misato said. "You're not going fast enough! I'm going, you can get in the car while I drive"
"What!" Rai said but the car took off and he had to try to get in the car, luckily he succeeded.

"I don't know why you insist on having a whole fleet baby-sit this, this giant TOY!"
"Children," Misato said through clenched teeth "Go look around for a while, will you?"
"Sure anything for you Ms. Misato!" Toji and Kensuke said simultaneously.
"C'mon Shinji and Rai there's gotta be somethin' cool on this raggedy old ship" Toji said
"What do you mean 'this raggedy old ship' you ungrateful child! This ship played an important role in World War Two! I tell you it was the best ship on the seas!" the old man began to drone on.
"Emphasis on the old part" Toji whispered and they walked off before the old man could notice.
"Hey Shinji aren't you coming?" Kensuke said after they had walked a few meters away "Shinji! Hey, Shinji are you listening? What are you looking at? Kensuke turned his head to where Shinji was looking "Whoa, who's that guy?" Kensuke said an the group turned to see what Kensuke was talking about.
"Father?" Keiko squeaked
"Howdy!" Gambino said cheerfully, "Hey, Shinji how's it goin'?"
Shinji stood there for a second and then the terror sunk in. Shinji turned on his heel and he ran around the ship and found a large room to hide in. Shinji crumbled to the floor and thought about what he had just seen.
How did he get here! Why is he following me didn't he hurt me enough already? How could he have gotten here! Only Nerv employees and ship drivers are here. I know Gambino doesn't drive a ship so he must be a- no! He couldn't be! Could father hate enough to do that? I wonder if he staged the whole thing I hate him! Shinji thought I hate my father!
Shinji turned to something massive hidden under a giant canvas cover. What is that? Shinji wondered. Then he got up to examine the thing.
"Howdy Keiko, Rai." Gambino said while he continuedwalking toward his children
"Dad" Rai said coldly
Gambino looked at Keiko and he was about to say something when a certain redheaded female came out from behind him.
"Hi! I'm Asuka Langley Soryu" Asuka waved at them and put on the most sugary smile that she could muster up.
"Are you the Third Child?" Asuka said pointing at Rai
"No" he answered
"You're right, you're to scrawny to be a pilot. Is it you?" She then turned he finger to Toji. Toji was going to answer 'no' to the question but Asuka's dress started to attack his face.
"YOU PERVERT!" Asuka screeched "STOP LOOKING UP MY DRESS!" Asuka then slapped every one that could have seen up her skirt, even Keiko.
"Jeesh! No wonder Shinji ran! I shoulda followed him, he probably knows this devil! He could've at least told us to run to!"
"Hey you idiot where's Misato? I can't wait to show her how I've filled out" Asuka said looking around
"I wouldn't know" Toji answered
"You should know, you're the Third Child!"
"No he ain't" Gambino said "Maybe you should cool off" Gambino then put his hand on Asuka's shoulder
"Don't touch me you ugly brute!" Asuka screamed and slapped Gambino's hand away. Gambino then grabbed her arm and pulled her close to him
"You ain't gonna talk to me like that little girl"
"I can talk to you any way I want you buffoon!"
"Maybe you didn't see what I did to the real Third Child, or you wouldn't be talkin' to me like that" Gabi no squeezed her arm until it hurt, but Asuka wouldn't let him know that she tried to keep her eyes from revealing how scared she was and she spoke bitterly "I'm not afraid of you"
Gambino smirked when she said that "Well, you should be"
"Father, how could you! You're a sick, evil, demented bastardI hate you!" Keiko screamed
"C'mon now don't cha think you're gittin' a bit hysterical there Keiko?" Gambino said
"How could you do that to somebody? I just don't get it!"
"It was revenge; don't you remember what they did to you?"
"I didn't want you to do that!"
"Don't cry honey I jist wanted to get our family to back together this is what I'm don' this for. Our family"
"I wish I was never-"
"Is there a problem here?" somebody said
"Oooh! Mr. Kaji!" Asuka screeched and she broke free from Gambino's grasp attached herself to the Kaji's arm
"Naw, there isn't a problem here" Gambino said
"Are you okay?" Kaji asked directing his question at Keiko
"I just don't want to talk about it" she said quietly and she walked away
DIDGERIDOODIDGERIDOODIDGERIDOODIDGERIDOODIDGERIDOO
I wonder where Shinji would've gone Keiko thought while she wondered about the enormous ship. She opened a door to see Shinji trying to take a giant cloth off of something.
"Oh! I'm sorry! It isn't what it looks like! I didn't see anything!" Shinji lied while he tried to put the cloth back onto whatever it was on.
"Um, excuse me, can I join you?" she asked. Shinji sighed when he realized that it wasn't a Nerv employee.
"Um, yeah, I don't mind" he said
"Hi. My name's Keiko" she said with a nervous laugh
"Yeah I know I saw you at Nerv. I'm Shinji" the boy replied
Keiko shuffled in and sat next to the boy. "I'm sorry" she said
"For what?"
"For what my father did"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"My dad, he was the one who kidnapped you. Didn't you know?"
"No" Shinji said looking down "You don't have to apologize for what he did. It wasn't your fault."
"It's just that I'm so mad at him! How could he do that to anybody? I don't care if it was for revenge or not, doing something like that's just wrong"
"Revenge for what?"
"Oh, it's nothing" Keiko said waving herhand"I still wanted to apologize though. You know I thought that you'd be hard to talk to but you're actually pretty easy to talk to"
She watched a blush spread across the boy's face and she laughed nervously.
"Thanks, I guess" Shinji replied
"C'mon lets get out of here"
"Alright"

"Where are we going, Kaji?" Asuka asked still attached to his arm like a leech
"I'm looking for the Third Child"
"What do you mean, you already saw him"
"No Asuka that wasn't him" right when Kaji finished his sentence Shinji and Keiko came out of a room.
"There's the famous Third Child! Hi I'm Kaji. I see you've met Keiko Sudakai she's pretty famous herself." Kaji held out his hand and Shinji and Keiko both shook Kaji's hand.
"So you're the Third Child?" Asuka asked, after a nod from Shinji she went on "You sure don't look like a pilot."
"Well Asuka he is and a darn good one at that. Didn't you kill a number of angels all on your own?" Kaji asked
"Well, yeah it's nothing really I'm not special" Shinji answered
"Yes it is special" Keiko said "Those things are hard to kill"
"I don't think he's so special, he doesn't look like a good pilot at all. He looks like a little boy that got picked on accident" Asuka said
"She's right I'm not special" Shinji agreed
"Stop being so modest you should be really proud of-crap" Kaji said when the angel siren interrupted his sentence. "Get goin' kids you got a job to do"
Asuka grabbed Shinji by the arm and became pulling him towards her Eva "C'mon stupid! We gotta kill that thing!"
"Wait a second I have to a-aahhh!"
A/N
HOWDAY! I finally finished this chapter after like three months. I've decided to go on ahead and turn in the chapter before the fight because I can't write a good fight scenes so it'll take me a while to get it right and I don't think that I should make you wait that THAT long. Please review. It took me forever to write this. I hope you liked it. I LOVE MY TROMBONES! AND MY FRIENDS! BUT I LIKE MY TROMBONES BETTER!
