Hallu, it's been a long, long time (almost been a year ever since)

I do wanna apologize for the long wait because... lately, I have been busy with mainly the school year (because I'm still a student), being distracted (...games were one of those distractions), and having a mental block.

I will try my best to continue this story as I don't plan to cancel this, just mostly long uploads because I have to rewatch the show in order to make sure it follows the continuity while also making some minor or major alterations soooo... yeah...

I do wanna thank for those who were reading this fanfic, it does help me to motivate to continue on the story, i appreciated it.

anywho... here's Episode 2 (or rather episode 7 from the show) for the story!

Enjoy and roll out!

In the Apartment...

It was a bright sunny morning for the day, the shine of daylight passed through the windows as the toaster on the counter sprung up, indicating that the bread is already done and ready to be consumed.

Sitting on the table was the young Shinji Ikari, who appeared in a sunny mood, was eating his breakfast, which consists of crunchy bread toast, eggs, and coffee on the table.

Joining him eating breakfast at the side...

Was a penguin named Pen-pen, Misato's pet but preferably as a companion that appeared close to an Erect-crested Penguin sub-specie, with the only difference was that it had a red crest brow and a white round spot at the skin around the eyes, who was chowing down a lot of fish on his bowl.

Both were eating simultaneously on a positive note.

Sliding the door to the side was Misato, in her blue vest, bra, and shorts, who appeared with the best to describe one word- grumpy, due to her lacking sleep and full of eyebags on display, scratching her stomach area.

Shinji and Pen-pen just stared at her silently and sweatdropping because they both have no comment or the fact that she looked scary.

Shinji decided to break the tension on the stare-off "Good morning." he greeted.

Misato just walked straight to the chair and sat on it as she yawned with her hand on her mouth "Morning..." she greeted back.

Much to Shinji's dismay, Misato took a piece of Yebisu, a beer can, and starts to drink it, making herself from being a grouch into a happy kid. as she screamed her enjoyment.

"This is how you get the day started!" she remarked.

Ever since Shinji came to her apartment as his guardian, he learned quickly that she had a different persona.

At Nerv, she was a strict commander who knows how to initiate the plan and a responsible adult, at home on the other hand...

She is a lazy slob who can't cook, clean, or even act like an adult, nothing but a carefree child-like persona.

He looked disappointed after seeing how carefree she was with the beer "Don't most people drink coffee?" he asked.

"Ever since old times, Japanese people have had white rice, miso soup, and sake in the morning," Misato replied.

"You mean your traditional breakfast?" he deadpanned.

Misato isn't amused by his remark "What's that supposed to mean?" she asked.

Shinji calmly drinks his coffee as he stared back at her bemusing "Besides... whose turn was it to cook breakfast this morning?" he asked as Misato gave him a stink eye.

"I think I know why you're still single at your age." He sarcastically remarked.

Misato's left eye twitched irritably "Well, excuse me for being so uncouth." She snidely excused.

"And being a slob." He added.

"Leave me alone!" she pouted, can't think of a comeback remark while crossing her arms in disbelief.

Shinji clasped his hands "Thanks, I'm done." he finished his meal.


A few minutes later...

Misato remained sitting at the chair with a piece of toast in her mouth as Shinji was cleaning the dishes, trying to do it quickly as possible.

"Are you really coming to school today?"

"Of course I am. It's for your forthcoming plans meeting."

"But you're busy at work." He pointed out worryingly as Misato just waved her hands off sheepishly.

"It's fine, it's fine. It's all part of the job." She concluded.

Shinji had a Parent-Teacher day at his school and considering that his father won't attend, Misato was allowed from her work to join him at school since she was his legal guardian.

"Your job, huh?" he noted.

The telephone rang as she went up and decided to answer for it "Hello?" she asked as Shinji was fixing the area while Pen-Pen had a newspaper on his flippers, reading it quietly.

"Hi! You didn't have to come all the way over. Sure, we'll be right out." She concluded as he turned around, blushing on his cheeks.

"Ms. Misato, please don't come to the door like that. It's embarrassing." He pleaded because of her attire.

Misato just stared at him for a second before she smiled teasingly "Okay! (2x)" she responded as she put both of her arms below her chest, sizing it up.

He blinked for a second, decidedly to turn his head around, feeling flustered.

At the door slide...

A pair of teens around Shinji age stood at the doorstep, the one on the left was a tall boy with black hair, a bag slinging on his forehead, and wore an all-black tracksuit named Toji Suzuraha while the other one on the right was a short boy freckles with light brown hair, a pair of glasses, and wore a uniform same as Shinji named Kensuke Aida.

"Good morning, Mr. Ikari!" They greeted their new friend as both lunged forward, almost hitting Shinji in the process, and turned their attention to the hallway for obvious reasons.

"Bye, Ms. Misato! We're off to school!" Both greeted in sync, much to Shinji's dismay.

Her arm appear in their view as she waved back "Have a nice day!" She greeted smoothly and softly, which made the two even happier with comical tears.

Shinji got annoyed because they were perverts, and worst of all, both have a massive crush on his guardian, which didn't help out his understanding of why they liked her in such a malicious manner.

"Come on, let's get going!" He snidely commanded as the trio finally head out.

Misato appeared in her bath towel all over her body, indicating she finished her shower, took a Yebisu can as she leaned back on the fridge, feeling happy that Shinji managed to have friends for once.

"Sarcasm, huh?" She said pleasantly.

'Well, I guess it's a good sign that he's finally loosened up and expressing himself more.' she thought.


At the School...

Shinji was silently observing the remains of Ramuel, the angel that he and Rei recently killed. he didn't know what are the angels first and foremost, their purpose to destroy the metropolis, and his main purpose... is it for satisfaction or is it for something else...

He soon heard a roaring engine, quickly turning his head down as he saw an incoming red Ferrari 328 GTS '87 swerve to do a turnaround at the parking spot, almost tumbling to the side.

He didn't know about the car, but he had a bad feeling about who was behind the wheel as both his friends slightly shoved him, with Kensuke holding a camera while wearing their shit-eating grins.

"Look, she's here!" Toji announced it.

Stepping out from the car was Misato, appearing in a yellow jacket, white top, black skirt, and a white pair of heels, with a bag in her hand.

She removed her shades to reveal her brown eyes with a smile on her elegant face, probably to show off.

The school was now filled with 3/4 of the windows boys being out to see this Goddess as she started to walk on the school.

"She's so hot! Who is she?!" "Ikari's guardian?" "You mean a babe like that looks after him?" all are bombarded with questions.

'They are such dorks...' an unknown female stated.

Kensuke's camera view has shown Misato still walking as she saw the boys at the top and made a peace sign.

"Ms. Misato is so awesome!" Toji praised, much to Shinji's dismay, who found it ironic that his guardian was an elegant, well-behaved woman in the public areas.

"You think so?" He sweatdropped.

"It's even more amazing that she's Nerv's Operations Director!" Toji commented as Kensuke nodded in agreement.

"You think so?" He deadpanned ask again as both of his friends were staring at him.

"It's a good thing for us that Shinji is such a clueless baby, Kensuke," Toji commented.

"Yeah, he won't get in our way," Kensuke stated.

'Toji and Kensuke don't know how big a slob she is.' Shinji thought.

"Oh, I wish I could land a woman like her!" Toji sighed lovingly. Making him look like one of those character troupes that fall in love at first sight.

"I think you'd regret it." Shinji disagreed.

"You just don't get it, Do ya, Mr. Big Shot?." Both said monotonously with bored expressions.

"All Right! We'll leave protecting the Earth in your capable hands!" Both were in sync as Shinji stumbled and looked back and forth at his friends "So you can leave Ms. Misato to us" Both announced happily as they slapped his back. Shinji lied his chest on the table, getting confused.

But he looked back down as Misato entered the building... a trio of cars on the other side of the parking spot appeared out of nowhere when he just saw Misato a few seconds ago...

The one on the left resembled to be a yellow Volkswagen Beetle type 1 that was slightly beaten up, up in the middle was a white Lancia Stratos '78 in a rally livery consisting of red and green triangle-shaped colors with the numbering 539 on both sides, as well as many sponsorship decals, and finally on the right was a red Lamborghini Countach LP500 '84.

'Huh... that's weird, I haven't seen those cars before...' Shinji confusedly thought.

Toji & Kensuke looked at him confused before looking at the direction he was looking... and got surprised.

"Holy Shit! I-It's a Lamborghini at our school!" Toji shouted.

"Hell yeah! And a Lancia as well!" Kensuke shouted as well.

Both dismissed the beetle without a second opinion.

All of the other boys soon glimpsed and screeched cheerfully, awing at the exquisite machines that were known as icons from pop culture way back in the '80s.

"But wait for a second... how did this rally car, the Lamborghini, and the beetle come here?" Toji got confused while holding his chin as Shinji stared back at him with curiosity.

"What do you mean?" He asked as Kensuke tapped his shoulder.

"First off my friend, this specific Lamborghini was extremely rare, very hard to find here in Japan due to the 2nd impact happened, which results in many models... destroyed, secondly, that beetle over there looked beaten up, thou seemingly the engine was still working, sadly spare parts here were also infrequent," Kensuke informed as he looked at the Lancia, narrowing his eyes.

"And finally... this Lancia..." he commented as the other two were anticipating "I know this one was a world rally champion during the '70s, I have watched some of this on TV with my pops, and this here wasn't supposed to be street legal," he concluded.

Kensuke narrowed his eyes for a second "Your right... wouldn't the officials supposed to you know... find this car and import it back?" He asked as Toji just shakes his head.

"I don't have an answer for that, but somehow, it got here in Japan, Tokyo-3 no less, where we can see these machines close up" He stated.

Shinji's curiosity increased since he never knew that Kensuke, of all the people, happen to have a large knowledge of vehicles, considering that he was a military fanatic.

"Hey Kensuke, how do you know automobiles with much information?" he asked.

He just grinned "Well my old man and I watched hmmm... what do you call this... Top Gear... I assume, three blokes reviewing vehicles with some offensive humor..."

Shinji was wide-eyed at the revelation because he mentioned his little sister, who happened to watch the same show as him "Wouldn't your mom be mad at this?" he asked worriedly.

Kensuke shooked his head "Nah... don't worry about that, it is our little secret and dad agreed with me on this." he said happily.

"I see..." Shinji whispered as he looked back at the vehicles.

he observed at the cars he just saw with deep thoughts, they were right, something's fishy going on because it doesn't add up the fact that these emerged... out of nowhere like magic, maybe he will have to ask Misato for that problem.

At the back of the class was Rei, who appeared in her uniform, also happened to be staring back at the cars the trio that they were noticing.

She got interested with curiosity... especially at the Volkswagen Beetle.

The school bell rang as the teacher went inside.


Somewhere in space...

It is a calm atmosphere as the TV broadcast the local, soon it showed Gendo, sitting at the far edge near the window, quietly observing the earth's atmosphere with a dull expression and crossing his arms.

The door slides to reveal an unknown man, appearing in his brown suit, who was heading towards Gendo's position.

"Excuse me. Do you mind if I sit here since we're traveling together?" He asked.

No reply came so the man decided to sit alongside him calmly.

"The revised budget for sample the collection was approved without comment, didn't it?" He asked.

"The Council's main concern is for their own survival." Gendo said gruffly as he continued "They aren't stingy when their own lives are at stake."

"After all, their argument was always that the Angels wouldn't reappear," he said.

"Oh, one other piece of good news" he paused to gather his thoughts "All council nations, minus the US, has approved funding for Eva-06," he continued "Well, it's only a matter of time before the Americans sign on, too."

He took a peek at Gendo "They have a powerful aversion to high unemployment rates." he said while holding his flask.

"What about yours?" Gendo questioned.

"We will take part, starting with Unit 08. Phase Two of the Buildup Plan is still in effect, after all." He informed but he had one tiny detail of information "However, there is still the issue of us not having a pilot for it yet." he stated.

"The Angels have returned. We had no choice but to defeat them."

"Yes, I would also rather not have a repeat of the Second Impact."

Both felt silence around them "By the way... have you read the other message we have sent you just now?" he asked.

'Messages? is there something off about it?' he thought and shook his head.

"What about it?" Gendo asked.

"The angel's body... vanished."

Gendo was known for hiding his emotions without kindness, right now he felt angry on the inside because he needs one of the angel's bodies for his reasons unknown, but to pull off a 180 by making it disappear that quickly was rather baffling.

"...what do you mean the body vanished? Was there any evidence?" Gendo asked.

The man just sighed heavily "According to the reports, the workers told me that around midnight was where the body of it got vanished..." He said as he kept continuing "What's more puzzling is that the ones who stole it... were undetected by the cameras." he concluded.

Gendo thought about it for a moment, could it be connected to the previous battle where the pilots got an unexpected help? The reports from Misato matched the description in their last battle so he needs to ask one crucial detail.

"Does the report tell about who stole the evidence?" He asked as the man stroked his chin to think.

"Good thing you asked because we managed to ask one of the coworkers who managed to catch a glimpse" he paused for a second, "the worker reported it was a bunch of black sports cars... standing 20 ft tall with red visors" He concluded.

Gendo felt speechless and bewildered about the description he listened to just now, black vehicles? Stealing body parts? What is this? Is this some sort of trick? He didn't doubt it because he had been battle angels, but the idea that it wasn't a human or an angel, he can't think of an answer.

"I see..." Gendo said quietly 'I will soon head back to headquarters to configured better detectors from this problem.' he thought.


Somewhere else in the city...

Rei was walking down the sidewalk after school has ended for the day, roaming while wearing her dull expression.

She evaluated every academic lesson from the school without a second thought, gaining some knowledge but for some reason... she never felt anything... like... at all...whether it's a good thing or a bad thing is a debate since she is a quiet individual.

Although she already accepted Shinji as a friend, she never knows the idea of the word "friend" because she hasn't had one before him.

She soon halts for a second, because in front of her... was the same yellow beetle from the school, admiring the machine silently for a while.

Rei never knew vehicles, but there's something different about the beetle, she didn't know why, but her curiosity from her feelings was telling her so.

She hesitated for a second before she touches the front end of it as she caresses it slowly.

'Why am I drawn to this car, it felt more... alive...than me...' She thought as she heard loud roaring engines and turned her head to see the sound source.

On the road was a speeding white police Datsun 240z accompanied by an Ambulance Nissan Vannette in a hurry.

'That's...Uncanny...' She soon caught a tire screech... from the beetle, as it thundered to life and followed the two vehicles that just passed by now.

Rei just stared for a long chunk of time... but she has noticed something integral about the beetle just now...

'The beetle drove off... without a driver...' She assumed.

Now, this was very suspicious, and she started to consider it very strongly.

Firstly, the battle they had with the recent angel had an unanticipated help, which they didn't catch except for the blast beam colors. Secondly, Kensuke's and Misato's knowledge of automobiles... some of the other vehicles there were supposed to be road legal, yet, one of the three wasn't road legal and the fact that they only came out of nowhere, and eventually, the beetle recently, propelled off without a driver.

Now she wanted more clues to find out what was going on... there's probably more to it than meets the eye.

She dropped the concern and decided to walk back to her apartment to get some good rest, and will consider whether to get more clues to get a better conclusion on the mystery.

But what they will never comprehend about this... is that this is only the beginning of something major.

To be continued...
