Anime Exiles. Taken from their homes, from their own realities, a rag tag group of anime characters works together in repairing the timeline, and more importantly, getting back home. While each character shares the name and general history of their original counterparts, there is one decision or event that radically altered their timeline to make them much different from the original character, an "altered reality" version if you will. These characters include:
Guyver- Guyver Vash the Stampede- Trigun Allenbee- G Gundam Sazuka- Outlaw Star Ryoko- Tenchi Muyo Yusuke Yurameshi- Yu Yu Hakusho (Spirit Detective)
To learn more about each character, merely type their name and series into Google and you should find a slew of information. Without further ado, Chapter 7.
Chapter 7: Nerv II
The Exiles followed the mysterious man into the inner depths of the underground catacombs that were once buzzing with life. The headquarters of Nerv stank of death, bodies strewn throughout the empty rooms. Ikari stepped back into his world of decay without missing a beat, while the Exiles found themselves taken aback.
"Oh...God..." Allenbee looked at the bodies surrounding her, shrouded in the darkness as Nerv Headquarters no longer had the buzz of electricity swimming through the air. "Why are they just left here? What happened to these people?"
"Hmmm...What?" Ikari snapped out of his trance, almost ignoring the Exiles completely as he began to think of his next plan. "Oh...the bodies. Well we had an unfortunate run in with the governments of the world. They massacred us and labeled us as 'disposable' even after saving them so many times. Aheh. Why they're here you asked? The presence of death and decay tends to make those still alive in this place undetectable by the crazed Evangelions."
"This is....pretty hardcore man." Yusuke tensed up, whispering into Vash's ear. "Look at this guy, he seems like he's not all there. Should we really be following him?"
"We don't have much to go on and this guy seems to be the head cheese around here who knows what's going on. Sides, our team is comprised of a walking tank, a magical assasin, a space pirate, a martial artist robot fighter, yours truly, and a smart assed punk. I think we'll be fine." Vash smiled and winked as Yusuke scowled at him.
"How old are you again?"
"Last I checked, 125 years old and still ticking." Vash caught up with the rest of the group, leaving Yusuke to shake his head.
"What has happened to this world? What was that thing we fought? How was this girl controlling it?" Guyver held the unconcious Asuka Langley in his arms, her breathing very erratic, showing signs of being in a deep coma.
"The world? Well the world has changed." Gendou walked past a large board of mainframes and computers in the massive control center of NERV. "Originally, this organization was called Nerv. Our world had suffered a massive attack in the form of the first impact in which an angel descended upon the earth and destoryed a large section of the country."
"Wait wait wait. An Angel? As in 'flap flap I'm going to protect you from evil' angel?" Ryoko asked, waving her arms to illustrate her point.
"Yes. At least that's what we named them. To protect ourselves from another future attack, we created Nerv and creatures to help protect mankind: The Evangelions."
"Something is very wrong with him." Sazuka spoke quietly into Allenbee's ear.
"I didn't need you to tell me that."
"No, I mean he is deceiving us in some way."
"How do you know that?"
"Magic." Sazuka looked anxiously at Allenbee, trying to decide what their next move would be, however Allenbee interrupted her planning.
"We need information. We just have to go along with what he says for now, and hope that the Tallus will tell us our mission soon."
"You created the thing that attacked us? What went wrong with them?" Guyver asked.
"Well, the Evangelions were always....shakey at best. Only children were able to pilot them, and they were children of less then refutable sanity. Once the government attacked us, they tried to usher in a time when all of humanity would be one. An age in which our bodies would merge and we would no longer be individuals, but a collective." Ikari wandered further into the headquarters, working on various knick knacks in the control center.
"This freaking anyone else out?" Vash spoke up, waving his arms towards all the dead bodies.
"Yes. It does in fact 'freak us out.'" Sazuka said, slapping him on the back of the head to silence the blond haired fool.
"In order to do this, they had to utilize Evangelion Unit 01, piloted by my son."
"You're...son?" Allenbee gasped.
"Yes. He was the Third Child chosen. In order for the government to bring about their plans, he was needed in ushering in this new age. Merging with his Evangelion and other tools created by the Angels and ourselves, he, in essence, became God."
"Quite the responsibility to lay on a kid don't ya think?" Ryoko hovered over the decaying headquarters.
"Quite. Shinji rejected Godhood. Taking control of the other Evangelions, Shinji began dismantling every goverment piece by piece...literally. The world is in disarray as we speak as Shinji found a way to revive several fallen angels. We are the last stronghold left."
"This is considered the last stronghold?" Yusuke shouted, stretching his arms out to emphasis the decrepit surroundings. "There's nothing here old man, nothing but death and decay."
"I assure you young man, there is much more then this." Ikari reached for something in his pocket and revealed a small remote control. He pressed a large button on the top and a light blasted through the room, blinding many of the Exiles. "Welcome to Nerv."
"Wow." Yusuke blurted out, losing his tough guy image for a fraction of a second. Thousands of workers immediately turned their heads toward the opening which the Exiles, led by Gendou Ikari, walked through. The large space moved as if it were one, with all the workers doing their appointed tasks in unison. The ones who had turned their heads became nervous from the sight of these strange intruders, especially Guyver as he looked very similar to the machine monsters and angels whom these workers had vowed to save the world from.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" One woman cried as she leaped underneath her desk, shaking in a panic, many other workers following suit.
"Calm down everyone. These people are here to complete our work. There's nothing to fear."
"God, these people look so....horrible." Guyver noted, looking at the thin, scraggly looking workers.
"We are running low on supplies, trips to the surface become more and more difficult with all the trouble up there." Ikari noted as he led the Exiles past several shaking workers. "We go without sleep and food for several days at a time due to this fact. However, now that you are here, we may be able to end these horrible conditions that have been placed upon us. I have revealed our story to you, it is only common courtesy that you do the same. Who are you people?"
"We are the Exiles." Guyver replied, shocking the other members of the team.
"Exiles? That's a weird name don't ya think?" Vash leaned over to Ryoko.
"Your name is Vash the Stampede. Who are you kidding?"
"We are a group of people displaced from our respective realities, set on a path to restore realities that have strayed, so that we may return to ours intact." Guyver continued, peeking Ikari's interest.
"Alternate....realities? This changes much." Gendou scratched his chin, contemplating the possibilities.
"Now that we know each other, I need a minute to speak alone with my group. Please excuse us." Guyver handed the girl over to Ikari who handed her off to a nearby worker, with little regard for Asuka.
"I must do the same. Meet back here in 15 minutes, and we can begin planning our next step." Gendou walked away from the frazzled Exiles, arms behind his back.
The Exiles walked away, nervously glancing at one another as they stepped away from the thousands of workers into an empty room nearby.
"Jesus Christ. Could this place be any more depressing?" Yusuke asked, placing his hands on the back of his head, his elbows pointing toward the ceiling.
"Try living it kid, see how depressing it is then." Ryoko snarled, angry at Yusuke's flagrant nonchalantness at the situation.
"I just received our mission from the Tallus." Guyver noted as he held up his arm. "It just keeps screaming 'STOP IKARI!' over and over in my head."
"Well, it would seem our mission is quite cut and dry." Sazuka responded. "We are to stop this...'Shinji' from destroying this world."
"Seems that way." Vash nodded.
"Hmmmm. I don't know, it seems a little too cut and dry, y'know?" Allenbee chimed in, becoming more nervous about the situation they now found themselves in.
"Whatever. Just gimme something to beat the crap out of, and I'm good." Yusuke punched the air rapidly, trying to show off his fighting prowess.
"We need to think of an attack plan." Guyver interrupted Yusuke's macho bravado.
"I got one. Howsabout we just kick the crap out of anything that moves? Does that work for you tin boy?" Yusuke smirked in Guyver's face.
"Watch it Junior."
"What are you like three years older then me?" Yusuke slapped Guyver upside the head, causing Guyver's elbow blades to instinctively pop out.
"I SAID WATCH IT!"
"ENOUGH!" Sazuka yelled out, seperating the two Exiles ready to fight one another. "This will do nothing but hinder our mission. Creating a plan that does not involve a full attack is our best option."
"Y'know I'm gonna marry her one day right?" Vash smiled as he whispered to Allenbee, which got a laugh out of the young girl. Little did the Exiles realize, that they were being watched. A camera examined each member as Gendou Ikari looked over the strange members of the group.
"Can they be trusted?" A figure behind him asked as he watched from his control room.
"Can any of us?" Gendou smiled as he turned his chair around toward the slender figure. "You must relax Misato. This should be seen as a Godsend."
"Whatever you say." The woman with purple hair replied, stepping out of the shadows. "Anything to help us put an end to this."
"Indeed." With that, Misato left the room wearily to get back to her work as Gendou edged near his control panel. "For with their help, we will cleanse this scum ridden world and I will be reunited with my beloved wife. Once another impact is created, we will all be with you."
15 minutes later.....
"We've conversed with one another and we've decided that we'll do what we can to help you." Guyver said, towering over the skinny, sickly looking Gendou.
"Excellent, our first plan of attack is to..." Before Gendou could finish his sentence, a rush of motion came through the large control center of Nerv. Terrified workers screamed as the door to the center crashed open, behind it stood thousands of identical blue haired girls.
"WHAT THE HELL?" Yusuke cried out, reactively pouring energy into his finger.
"....Rei." Ikari whispered, tears flowing down his face.
"That's right....father." One of the girls twisted and contorted her neck, a sadistic smile wrapped around her face.
"YOU!" Gendou cried out as his son's voice streamed forth from the contorting blue haired girl, her counterparts all contorting around her.
"So glad you could remember me. It seems that you've found some new friends to play with. More people to replace me with perhaps? It doesn't matter."
"This just keeps getting weirder and weirder." Vash said nervously, bringing his two guns out of his holsters.
"I was more then willing to allow you to stay down here to rot, seperated from the rest of the decay that is humanity. However, you took Asuka from me and I can't allow that." The blue haired girl continued to move as if on strings from a puppet master. "Those who have sided with you, will be killed horribly."
"Terrific." Ryoko hovered above the rest of the group, holding her hands out toward the army of blue haired clones.
"Wait! WAIT!" Guyver put his hands up to stop Ryoko's attack and silence her at the same time. "Shinji, you don't have to do this. We've heard your story."
"Have you now?" The girls head twisted around, bones snapping and cracking as the smile grew even larger on her demented face.
"I think I'm gonna be sick." Allenbee held back the vomit rising in her throat.
"Well let me tell you something. No story can ever describe what I've been through. No recollection is good enough to entail my fucking life. I am a monster, and so is everything is. We all need to be destroyed."
"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?" Guyver shouted, getting ready to fight.
"Why? HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Shinji laughed hysterically from the girl's body. "Because every once in awhile, we all need to be reminded, that there is no God. 3....2...."
"EVERYBODY GET DOWN!" Guyver shouted as all the Rei's at once revealed a multitude of plastique and explosives under their shirts.
"1.....Zero."
