Legacy
Chapter Two: More then meets the eye
Shinji Ikari-Masaki sighed as he walked away from the train station towards a phone booth. The entire city seemed deserted and his ride was already half an hour late. He could hear the sounds of battle from far away drawing closer and closer.
'This is so pointless not only did he summon me here deliberately to use me as a tool in some idiotic scenario but also sends a woman who by the looks of her picture is a worse flirt then Nobuyuki-san. The only saving grace is I will finally get to test Mothers theory behind the injection.' He thought and picked up the phone attempting to contact his ride.
"We're sorry but due to a special state of emergency all lines are currently down." An automated reply stated.
Hanging up the phone he considered using his mobile but decided against it as he'd get the same response. Turning around he swore for a moment he saw someone and felt a presence but both quickly went away when he blinked.
The ground began to rumble and he knew the third was walking through whatever pitiful defense the U.N. was throwing against it. Shinji had studied the research of his mother and knew about as much as she did about the threat classified as Angels.
"What kind of person is late when there is no traffic and a huge battle going on?" He mused while leaning against a building and waiting.
Dark blue eyes took the moment to investigate his surroundings. Tokyo-3 was a memorial to man's own achievements in his opinion, with towering buildings of glass and steel that reflected the bright sunshine and distracted you from the artificial feel of the city. Power lines rain above his head and he could see an endless amount of them around him and hear the steady hum of electricity. In a way the sounds mimicked the forest but lacked any heart or life like nature would.
'Cities are like that all the music and majesty of nature but none of the feeling or warmth. I guess living with Masaki-san and with Tenchi-kun has taken away the awe I once held for such places. Damn it where is this lady I've had enough time to be killed already.' Shinji thought with a bit of frustration setting in at the end of his thoughts.
Further thoughts were interrupted by the sound of an explosion that nearly took the young man off his feet. Looking up his eyes took in the sight of a huge hulking black form with gray shoulder plates and a white bird-like mask for a face. Shinji found himself eyeing the crimson orb set into the center of the beast's chest more then anything though. A U.N. VTOL continued its useless artillery fire until a lance of energy extended from the right wrist of the Angel and impaled it sending the flaming wreckage to rain down over the area Shinji was occupying.
A clear dome of slightly blue tinted energy rose around him deflecting the flaming debris that might've harmed him. It faded away with the danger and now Shinji stood facing the strongest enemy of mankind. Fear was a natural reaction to such a sight but he hid it well.
The moment was broken as a car flung itself around the corner with the sound of squealing tires. Shinji turned seeing the blue sports car had stopped and started towards it. The window rolled down and a woman with purple hair and brown eyes peered out at him. She was dressed in a short dark colored dress with a yellow belt around the waist and a red jacket.
"What are you waiting for? Get in!" she yelled.
Shinji increased his pace diving in through the window and righting himself in the seat as the woman peeled out away from the Angel. Placing his duffle bag on his lap he took a look behind him at the fading visual and the sound of more military aircraft swarming in.
"Katsuragi-san?" he asked.
"That's me, sorry about being late and call me Misato Shinji-kun." She replied smiling at the young man.
Misato took a moment to look over her boss's son. He was about average height for most fourteen year olds with black hair kept slightly long in the front and a small tail of hair at the back. Dark blue eyes shone with intelligence but also a sense of guardedness and his skin was slightly tan showing he had been in the sun a lot as a child. Shinji was dressed in a white dress shirt and dark blue slacks with black shoes seeming more of a formal casual for the boy.
"So you must be excited to be seeing your father?" she attempted conversation but flinched when he turned those eyes on her and they were colder then ice tinged with a slight darkness.
"Misato-san, do not ever refer to that man as my father. I don't share any of that man's blood and I only came here to honor the person he once was and the memory of my mother." He replied his tone quiet and cold.
"Right gotcha you and commander Ikari have issues."
"Rokubungi." Shinji spoke up.
"Excuse me?" Misato asked looking at her passenger.
"His name is Gendo Rokubungi the name Ikari belongs to my mother and I. I'm sorry I have issues with Rokubungi-san." Shinji clarified the apologized at the end.
'Wow weird kid but defiantly cute. No stop that bad Misato no matter the kid's issues he is the commander's son think about something else. Buildings streets, missiles…. WAIT JUST A SECOND, MISSILES!' Misato thought and then began taking curves rapidly sending her passenger sliding all over his seat.
'I'd be safer back with the Angel!' Shinji thought grabbing onto his seat and clinging to it for dear life.
Nerv
"All of our efforts haven't even put a scratch on this thing! Tank shells, artillery fire, guided missiles, even mass attack by all three and its still standing." Spoke one of the U.N. generals throwing his pen down in absolute disgust.
"Then it's time to play our ace in the hole gentleman. We can't allow the pride of the JSDF to be broken by this thing." Replied a stoic general who removed a keycard from his breast pocket before proceeding to run it through the reader.
Nearby Gendo watched a sick little smile spreading across his face. Let the military do its worse he'd still get the results he wanted in the end. Fuyutsuki stood at his side still after all this time contemplating why he chose this path for his life.
'Even if this all works out will she forgive us?'
Tokyo-3
Misato looked over the battlefield with a pair of binoculars and sighed at the one-sided conflict. She figured about 60 of the U.N. forces were already gone in the ineffective attack and the target wasn't even harmed. She was silently cursing men and their idiot pride when she spotted every helicopter suddenly break of and make a quick retreat in whatever direction seemed fastest.
'Are they finally going to give us control? No wait they're not going to use one of those are they?'
"Those idiots are gonna drop an N2 mine! Get down!" Misato suddenly yelled and pushed Shinji down covering him with her body.
A bright flash overshadowed the sun and was followed by the deafening roar of the detonation. The concussive force of the shockwaves sent the sports car flipping through the air. Shinji mentally shrugged as he felt a small barrier enclose he and Misato, the latter because of her close proximity to him. She never noticed it and luckily it would protect them from the impact soon to come mostly.
'I'M GONNA BE SICK.' Misato thought as her stomach lurched.
'My stomach feels like it just ate Nobuyuki-san's cooking again.' Shinji thought.
Nerv
The three generals cheered as the mine detonated proving for once and all that the military was superior to anyone else. They had defeated a living devil and defied the odds instead or relying on some oversized toy and a child to pilot it.
"Well Ikari-san it looks to me that you won't be getting your shot after all nothing could have survived that blast."
Gendo still remained smug that small smile tugging at his lips.
"Shockwave approaching." A technician announced and the monitors lost picture of the battle sight.
Tokyo-3
"Well this is just great." Misato huffed climbing out of the passenger side door from the now upturned car. Shinji followed a second later with ease born of Kasuhito's training.
"It could always be worse Misato-san." Shinji commented.
"Yeah I guess, hey Shinji-kun give me a hand with this." Misato responded and moved to push the car back on its wheels.
"Alright now… One, two, three. . . . PUSH!" both put their full weight behind the push and tipped the car back onto it's wheels.
"Aw man I still have like 33 payments to make and it's totally trashed!" Misato exclaimed staring at her car and the damage being tossed around like a Frisbee had caused.
"Does it still run?" Shinji asked the logical question and cursed himself for knowing engineering but not really much on automotive repair.
"No but I think we can fix that little problem. Come along Shinji-kun we need supplies!" Misato said walking towards an auto parts shop that looked deserted.
'Great she's a felon on top of everything else!' Shinji thought with a sigh following the energetic woman.
Nerv
"External cameras coming back online now." The static cleared revealing the Angel standing completely unharmed continuing to march.
"THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! HOW CAN THAT THING STILL BE MOVING AFTER THAT?" one of the generals yelled standing up before retaking his seat with frown across his features. They had used their ace and the creature still wanted more. For now they reasoned the military had to take a step back.
"Ikari-san it seems we have no choice but to leave this situation in your hands. Do not disappoint us." With that the pedestal the three sat on lowered into the floor the bulkhead closing after them.
"Fuyutsuki, what is the status of the third child?" Ikari asked.
"Captain Katsuragi just reported contact with him; they should be here in twelve minutes." The aging sub-commander responded.
"Good have unit one prepped for launch. Once we have our spare we're moving out." Ikari ordered folding his hands in front of him.
'He can't even call the boy by his name. Does he even remember his son's name or feel any guilt. That would make him human so of course not.'
Geofront
"Could you please prepare a car-train? An express, of course. Thanks." Misato finished her call and put the cellular phone away.
'This day started out so well too but look at my car and I still have so many payments to make on the loan. This dress was new too and it went so well with my jacket.' She thought moping about the evils of her life.
"Misato-san, Misato-san you may want to stop. Misato-san we're getting close to the car-train. MISATO-SAN STOP THE CAR BEFORE WE END UP IN ANOTEHR ACCIDENT!" Shinji said yelling at the end to get her attention, something he was not used to doing.
Misato snapped out of her thoughts and pressed down on the breaks bringing the car to a sudden stop. Miraculously she had stopped them in perfect place for the car-train and soon they had begun to descend.
"Uh, sorry about that guess I got a little distracted." She apologized lamely rubbing the back of her head.
"So, um did you Fathe- I mean the Commander send you an ID card?" Misato asked catching herself when his eyes had snapped back to look at her.
Shinji dug around in his bag keeping her from seeing what he had packed before finally fishing the item out. It was a simple document with sections blackened out in censorship and baring an air of authority that made the genius want to laugh. Handing it to Misato she in turn handed him a book with a gray cover titled "Welcome to Nerv".
"So he changed the name. A pity Gehirn had a nice ring to it but oh well." Shinji commented and put the book into his bag.
"Shinji-kun you should really read that." Misato suggested.
"Everything it has to say I already know or will learn besides I don't plan on staying." He replied laying his head back and listening to the car-train.
He turned his head and smiled as they exited the tunnel revealing the Geofront to him. He'd forgotten what this place looked like but now he could recall it and bask in the splendor of it. He could see lakes and trees, forests spread out and wildlife living peacefully. He spotted a flock of birds soaring and then turned his sight back forward.
"Impressive isn't it? This is the last stronghold of humanity." Misato announced.
"It's been a long time since I was here. A real Geofront I suppose it's ironic that a place of such beauty houses something built for destruction." Shinji replied and watched Misato lower her sunglasses to take a nap.
Nerv
'It's official Misato-san is completely useless.' Shinji thought with a sweatdrop as the pair passed the same spot for the fourth time.
"I know it's right around here somewhere." She said looking around.
"Misato-san I think we're lost we've passed this place already." Shinji responded with a sigh.
A pair of elevator doors opened to their left and a woman walked out wearing a black wetsuit with a lab coat over it. The woman had died blonde hair and brunette eyebrows and pale skin denoting her long periods of time without sun. Green eyes burned with great intelligence and drive.
"Captain Katsuragi, you've worked here for how long and are still getting lost?"
"Aw come on Rits-chan, this place is huge and the maps don't make any sense." Misato replied being friendly with the woman.
"So this is the Third Child?" the woman asked with a sigh.
"Yep, Ritsuko Akagi meet Shinji Ikari the third child." Misato announced pointing to Shinji.
"It's Ikari-Masaki not just Ikari. Dr Akagi it's an honor I've read some of the papers you've published and your theories seem brilliant." Shinji spoke up correcting Misato and expressing a slight bit of hero worship for the scientific mind in front of him.
Ritsuko arched an eyebrow but decided to humor the young man.
"Just what of my work do you know Ikari-Masaki-san?"
"A lot of it is based in your mother's early work improving on her theories or ideas. You also have many original idea's that focus on the medical side and using the increase in technology to better facilitate care. Some of your papers and your Mother's are required reading where I went to school." He stated letting some of his intelligence show before entering the elevator and leaving the two stunned women to collect themselves.
Let it never be said Shinji lacked a playful side. He just had strange ways of letting it out to play.
He remained silent as the two joined him and the elevator began it's descent his ears picking up the sounds of technology and the babbling of his two companions. Shinji knew what came next and for now he was sticking to a simple but elegant plan.
'Tell him no, unless there is no-one else and head home. If there isn't another option then make him think he has control.'
The trio had to board a small boat and was taken across a pool of pinkish liquid that Shinji couldn't identify in the darkened confines. Stepping onto a platform he watched the lights turn on and stood face to face with a being born of nightmares.
It was several stories tall but the platform they stood on was at chest level the rest of its lower body submerged in the liquid. The armor covering its humanoid body was a deep purple color in the places between each section crimson muscle-like skin could be seen. A single horn dotted the top of the head, while the jaw section seemed fused together keeping the mouth immovable and it bore a pair of shoulder pylons. Those hallow eyes stared directly at him.
Shinji simply gazed at the intimidating beast his eyes unwavering from their cold state. He suddenly brought his hands up and together in a praying stance and bowed to it and said a simple prayer no one could hear. The prayer had been for his mother.
"This is the Multi-purpose fighting machine synthetic humanoid Evangelion unit-01." Ritsuko stated filling the silence with an explanation.
"Aren't you impressed Shinji-kun?" Misato asked looking at the seemingly statue-like boy.
"This isn't the first time I've looked upon it." He replied.
"Its been awhile." Came a voice above them Shinji knew all to well.
The Supreme commander of Nerv, Gendo Rokubungi stood on a platform raised over the units shoulder a layer of glass between him and the rest of the room Fuyutsuki by his side. The same cold look on his face as the day he abandoned him. A look Shinji desperately wished to forcibly remove with the Ikari-ken.
Dark sapphire colored orbs locked with Dark brown for the first time in a decade. Gendo could see the anger burning at the edges of his son's eyes and yet it was overshadowed by the glacier like look of ice settled over the rest of his eyes. A small part of him was unnerved by those eyes and knew he had caused it but that part had never been too strong in the man to begin with.
"Nearly a decade Rokubungi-san. I see you have not changed much in that time." Shinji said evenly.
"We're moving out." Gendo ordered.
"Moving out? But we can't use unit-00 and we can't use unit-01 it doesn't have a pilot." Misato stated with a mixture of emotions warring in her tone of voice.
"One has just arrived." Ritsuko stated calmly before the commander could say it.
"Shinji-kun can't pilot, it took months for Rei to synch with an EVA well enough to even make it move." Misato challenged.
"What choice do we have Captain Katsuragi? All we need of him is to sit in it." Gendo spoke up.
"Pray tell Rokubungi-san, why should I do as you ask? You all seem so intent on a set course you've forgotten not one of you can control me or force me to act outside of my own desires. I remember that day quite well and I know what happened to the person who's one job was to sit in that devil and bring it to life. You summon me because you have a use for me now but the problem with that is, Rokubungi-san you have no control over me and I refuse to be your tool." Shinji spoke up drawing the attention of everyone a small delicate smile crossing his lips.
'Now stepfather, play your cards so I can make this seem like you have control. You obviously need my help and I will do it for mother. She loved Earth too much to deny it besides I have no right to let the world die because we hate one another. Plus my family is still here in this place and I have to protect them.' Shinji thought his mind already planning out every reaction to a point it worked out for his illusion of giving in.
"Will you pilot it?" Gendo asked.
"No."
"Then leave I have no use for a whimpering child." Gendo stated. Shinji kept his calm though he could feel his anger growing by the second. It seemed while his brother Tenchi brought out his emotions as a friend and sibling Gendo brought up all of his anger and hatred.
"Fuyutsuki, have Rei woken up and brought here." The commander of Nerv said to his second-in-command.
"Ikari you can't mean that not with her injuries." Was the response.
"She's not dead yet." Gendo stated and pressed a button on an intercom setup.
"Rei-chan, you'll have to do it again our spare is unusable." He spoke into the microphone.
". . . . Yes . . . Sir." was the only reply.
"Shinji-kun I know your scared but you have to do it."
A medical team pushing a stretcher entered the room at this point and Shinji turned his eyes to stare at who, presumably would be trying to pilot unit-01 in his place.
She wore a white version of the skin tight plugsuit with a black '00' printed in the middle of the chest. Bandages covered most of her body but her skin was unbelievably pale most likely making her an albino. She had soft blue hair and eyes the color of blood though one of them was covered by a bandage. Shinji's eyes widened as he took in her face and her hair his mind overlaying another image and drawing up things from his mother's notes. He balled his fists up at his side as he came to only one conclusion.
Something caused a shock to run through the room and Shinji watched the girl fall from the stretcher. When she impacted with the ground she let out a sound of complete pain but still tried to climb to her feet. Shinji quickly moved to her side and halted her progress. He felt her stiffen in pain and gently picked her up cradling her body bridal style.
"Shh, it's going to be ok now. You don't have to try and use it again." Shinji whispered trying to comfort the girl.
Rei Ayanami stared up at the boy holding her attempting to figure out why her pain had dulled with his words and help.
The room shook again this time breaking loose a section of the ceiling and sending it falling towards the pair. Concrete, titanium, and support beams hurtled towards them promising a quick death. Shinji's eyes stared at the debris bringing his Juraian energy to the front and tapping into the final gift from his Mother for the first time.
Everyone watched in shock as a dome of blue energy rose around Shinji and Rei. Lines of crimson and orange constantly moving over the surface like lightning forming hexagon-like shapes. The deadly pile impacted and was stopped cold the metal even splintering and cracking. No one moved and suddenly a huge purple arm wrenched free of it's restraints and moved swiping the debris away before halting.
'Thanks Mother.' Shinji thought spotting the hand and letting the shield drop around him.
Moving to the stretcher Shinji slowly lowered Rei down onto it not wanting to cause her any discomfort. Rei's visible eye widened when she found herself looking up into a pair of eyes matching her own in color. They flashed once and returned to normal.
Shinji whipped his head around to look up at Gendo. The shield could be explained as unit-01's A.T. Field rising to protect him so for now his secret would be safe. The only inconvenience would be the slight physical change mother explained in her notes but the only one to see that had been the girl and that could easily be called a trick of light.
"How is that even possible? There's not even a plug in the EVA and I've never seen an A.T. field condense in one place like that or even a field like that." Ritsuko questioned staring at the Evangelion.
"I'll pilot it." Three simple words yet they meant so much too so many. Some employees of Nerv would say it took seeing suffering to convince Shinji. Others would say he got over his fear.
"Then do so." Gendo replied before turning to leave.
'I really dislike that man.' He thought before Ritsuko pulled him away towards the entry plug.
Unit-01
Shinji slipped into the entry plug with ease dressed as he was with only the addition of a pair of neural clips to supposedly monitor his life signs. He felt the plug slide into place and reached forward grasping the controls. It was rather funny to him that the greatest weapon known to man was controlled by two handles and the thoughts/will of a fourteen year old.
'This entire system just reeks of the interface used between a Treeship and its owner. I supposed introducing some Juraian technology was inevitable to happen will just make my job easier.' Shinji thought with a small chuckle.
The plug suddenly began filling with a yellow-orange liquid that smelled coppery almost like blood to him. Shinji went to hold his breath on instinct before calming down and recalling just what the liquid was.
"Don't worry Shinji-kun. Once the LCL fills your lungs it will oxygenate your blood directly." Dr Akagi explained over the communications link.
"Understood" Shinji responded taking the strange liquid into his mouth and almost gagging at the taste.
'Tastes like Tench-kun's attempts at making tea.' He thought and relaxed listening to the technicians through the com link.
"Main power connected. Initiating power-up sequence. A10 Neural synapses operating within parameters. First contact all clear. Opening reciprocal circuits."
Shinji could feel the connections being made and opened himself to them letting the Eva open up to him and he to it. He felt a comforting presence wrap around him filling him with security that only the presence of his brother or birth father could usually cause.
Central Dogma
"Incredible his synchronization ratio is still climbing. Passing 50, 60, 70, now passing into the 80's." First lieutenant Maya Ibuki read off as she and the other two main bridge technicians worked.
"Maya-chan, check your numbers again this can't be right." Ritsuko said observing the ratio.
"I have Sempei three times already. The data is now confirmed." The dark haired woman replied.
"Shinji-san's Synchronization ratio is holding steady at 89.3. We can do this!" The faux blonde announced in amazement.
"Evangelion Unit-01, prepare to launch." Misato shouted out to Shinji.
"Understood" he replied feeling the restraints release, which caused the Eva to shake. It then began to be moved and Shinji could actually feel it as if he were the Eva.
"Transporting Unit 01 to launch elevator! Gate 5 Stand-by. Launch pad clear. All Green. Launch perpetrations complete!" Firs lieutenant Shigeru Aoba stated.
First lieutenant Makoto Hyuga pushed up his glasses and continued to monitor the surface since his job of loading all the connections had been the first to be done.
Misato turned to face the commander.
"Do we precede sir?" She asked deferring to her commanding officer.
"Of course if we do not stand vigilant and defeat the Angels, then all we have built will be lost." He replied.
"LAUNCH EVA!" Misato ordered loudly enjoying her role in all the drama to the fullest.
Unit-01
"LAUNCH EVA!"
'What do they mean by launch?" Shinji thought before suddenly he and the Eva were fired upwards through a series of sharply curved tunnels towards the surface.
The G-forces pressed down on his body and because of his synch ratio he could feel the strain on unit-01 as well. If the launch had been sudden the stop was worse jarring both machine and pilot. Looking forward he found the Third Angel directly in front of him and the sky darkened by the onset of sunset or early evening. To Shinji it felt like a stage was being set for a battle between titans and his opponent was simply waiting.
'I should never have allowed Tenchi-kun to get me addicted to magna this looks like a page torn right from one.' He thought.
"This is it Shinji-kun so get ready." Misato's voice said coming back over the com.
"Right."
"Release final safety locks1" Shinji felt the last bits holding him back let go and allowed himself a smile.
"EVANGELION UNIT-01 MOVE-OUT!"
Shinji felt the Eva stumble forward and immediately forced it to steady. He closed his eyes feeling the machine for a moment before snapping his eyes open and allowing everything else to fade from his mind.
"Shinji-kun we just need you to walk."
Shinji complied going one step at a time and moving forward feeling the street groan under his, no the Eva's giant foot. The third Angel watched him with something akin to curiosity.
Feeling the urge to attack, to destroy Shinji knew he couldn't stop the machine on its path even if he wanted to, so instead he flowed with that desire and as of one mind Unit-01 charged its enemy.
The giant purple monster tore down the street at its prey body positioned low for a tackle. Just as he was about to grab the black hulking beats Shinji felt the A.T. field of the third raise up momentarily blinding him and sending unit-01 onto its back.
Shinji brought the Eva's right arm up catching the incoming arm of the Angel before it could latch onto his head. Unit-01 then slammed a kick into the black monsters chest forcing it back and giving it time to rise. Shinji charged again this time bringing his A.T. field to bare meeting his enemies head on. This time he connected with a punch knocking it back but he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder and found one of the Angel's energy lances had wounded the Eva badly there thus sending the pain directly to him.
"Shinji-kun, listen to me what your feeling right now isn't your arm you have to ignore it."
The slight distraction gave his enemy time to latch onto his head and lift him into the air. Shinji began slamming punches into the Angel hoping to be let go but his thoughts were interrupted by searing pain as the energy lance on the arm holding him began slamming into the Eva's head or more specifically the left eye.
Bringing both of Unit-01's hands together he slammed them down in a single hammer-like strike on the Angel's arm. The pain and damage to the Angel earned the Eva's its freedom, which came in the form of landing and backing up putting distance between the two.
"Shinji-kun, pull back and return to base." Misato ordered.
"No, I'm not dead yet." He replied taking a deep breath he could feel blood leaking from his left eye and his left shoulder was on fire but still he would finish this fight.
'If I run away people are going to suffer. I won't put my family in danger because of a little pain! I am a Juraian born of the purest blood and given the strength of my ancestors. I WON'T RUN AWAY AND DISGRACE BOTH MY FATHER AND MY MOTHER!'
Shinji brought all his anger and rage to the front his face twisted in an angry snarl. He felt the jaw unhinge and his Eva let out the roar the Shinji felt in his heart. The Third angel took a single step back from the imposing sight. Shinji felt the pain in his eye lessen and his shoulder as well but he knew it was only because the Eva had regenerated not himself.
"I will not lose to the likes of you or anyone else. My name is Shinji Ikari-Masaki REMEMBER IT!"
Evangelion Unit-01 raised its head and roared with his words before charging like the beast it was intent on the will of her pilot.
Central Dogma
Gendo Ikari watched as the jaw section of Unit-01 unhinged with a smile. That was the sign Yui had taken over to protect her son. Doctor Akagi whispered the word "Berserker" and that suited fine for a title.
The illusion of such a thing was shattered though when the Com sparked to life.
"I will not lose to the likes of you or anyone else. My name is Shinji Ikari-Masaki REMEMBER IT!"
Unit-01 charged the target once more and instead of two A.T. fields colliding the bridge staff of Central Dogma watched in shocked awe as the Eva ripped the third Angel's field open with its bare hands the shock sending it onto its back.
Shinji then began beating the Eva's fists against the crimson orb centered in the targets chest. The Angel retaliated with beams of white hot energy from the eye holes in its mask-like face. Everyone could hear Shinji yell in pain but bring the fists back down splintering the orb and forming several cracks on the surface.
Sensing its own end the third Angel suddenly jolted upward and wrapped its body around Unit-01. Before Shinji could untangle the Eva the Angel self destructed blinding the screen with light and then dust and covering that part of Tokyo-3 in a blazing inferno.
"Status on the pilot?" Misato demanded worried for the boy.
"I'm not getting any readings from Unit-01 or its pilot!" Maya declared just as the screen cleared up.
Silence reigned at the sight before them. Unit-01 stood the flames in the background slowly walking towards the camera it seemed. The only sight comparable to this would be a painting done by a madman depicting a demon walking through hell.
"I have life-signs. Confirmed Pilot Ikari is alive but he seems to have blacked out during the explosion." Maya announced as her screen came back to life.
"Begin recovery and clean-up operations." Gendo ordered his look not having changed.
Nerv Hospital
Shinji sat up in his hospital bed sharply taking in deep breaths of air into his lungs. The last thing he recalled was the Angel wrapped around him like a boa constrictor and then pain. Looking down he found himself in a simple hospital gown and lying in a bed.
'Where is my Ikari-ken? Oh god don't tell me Rokubungi-san has it I can't let her legacy out of my sight!' He thought before climbing out of the bed and discovered neither his shoulder nor eye was seemingly damaged by the fight or feedback from the Eva.
Moving to the closet of the room he opened it to find his clothes. Reaching into the pocket he slowly removed the black sword hilt and cradled it to his chest. In many respects Shinji was a strong young man with a mind superior to others and powers no one on Earth had ever seen before. In other ways he was very much still a child or maturing teenager struggling to decide his place in the world.
Changing into his original outfit he slid his ring back on and tucked the Ikari-ken back into his pocket. Obviously the battle had been a victory or else he would be long gone. Exiting his room he walked the halls and found himself standing at a set of windows looking out into the Geofront. Hearing a gurney being rolled by he turned and locked eyes with the crimson eyed girl that his stepfather had used to get him into Unit-01.
'This is a troubling development and I never believed he would go this far, which now complicates things more. Does he really think I'm that stupid to not notice the resemblance? Rokubungi-san has truly lost his mind to grief assuming he hasn't planned this all along to do something like this. She's a tool, a doll for him to use no doubt so I have to cut the strings binding them if I hope to salvage anything. That girl has no idea what she truly is and I guess it falls to me to save her. Damn it Tenchi-kun you and those stupid manga gave me this stupid code of honor. I hope your ok Brother without me because I'd rather be there then here.'
"Masaki-san will not be pleased if he finds out I haven't practiced since leaving so I suppose its time for a little fun." Shinji muttered moving back to his room and retrieving his duffle bag.
Walking out he briefly wondered why no security or even a nurse tried to stop him. Shaking his head he just continued out of the hospital and headed towards the exit of Nerv and the flourishing nature of the Geofront.
Minutes later the door to his hospital room was bumped open revealing Misato carrying a tray of food with her back to the bed.
"Hey Shinji-kun, I thought you might want some home-cooked food so I whipped up some of my own instant gratification for you!" She declared and turned but only found an empty bed and closet seemingly left open.
"Oh come on my cooking's not THAT bad!" she declared and began searching for the young Ikari-Masaki.
Geofront
Shinji found one last piece of wood that would work perfectly for his needs and moved back to where the rest of his things were. He had no doubt that somewhere someone was watching his every move but he didn't honestly care.
He was standing in a clearing surrounded by a few trees and thickly covered by grass. Shinji could hear the sounds of nature around him and it brought a smile to his face. Setting the last piece of wood down, he stared at his handy work. Several large logs were tied with vines and hung swinging from branches. Littering the ground in a seemingly random pattern were mismatched pieces of wood that could be used to stand on. Tenchi still used the simple logs with their even surface and same size, while Shinji had been moved up to this a year ago so he would be forced to perfect his balance and timing in uneven terrain.
Reaching into his duffle bag he pulled out a bokken instead of using the Ikari-ken. A blade made of light being swung around would most likely end him up with more trouble then help. Taking a deep breath he began running through stretches and warm-up exercises.
Finishing he jumped onto the first piece of wood and began practicing the style Kasuhito had been teaching him since they met. The Masaki style of using the sword was fast and deadly with quick strikes and movements leaving an enemy no time to defend. The style of the Ikari however was flowing and more defensive enabling the user to avoid attacks and easily slide through opponent's defenses before delivering a lethal counter. Shinji enjoyed both styles but was nowhere near a master of either. He jumped around the pieces of wood striking at the swinging logs and blocking incoming logs. Shinji's inexperience appeared when he stepped onto a new log and a twig attached too it snapped under his foot sending him forward to far and face first into an oncoming log. He was instantly thrown back and landed head first in the grass his legs twitching humorously.
"Note to self remove twigs next time." He said to himself and climbed to his feet brushing grass and dirt from his clothes.
Picking up his wooden sword Shinji jumped back onto a log and continued with his workout his mind planning for the future.
Office of Dr Ritsuko Akagi
Ritsuko Akagi sipped a cup of fresh coffee with a content look crossing her face. There was no better wonder in the world of man then the black brew she was currently enjoying. She could've sat like that forever and never had a compliant but it seemed the moment would not last.
"Hey Rits-chan have you seen Shinji-kun? He wasn't in his room and nobody seemed to notice him leave. Does security suck around here or what to lose track of a fourteen year old boy and everything." Misato Katsuragi said walking into the office.
"It's not my job to keep up with the pilots Misato-chan, why don't you speak to Section Two?" the good doctor advised.
"Nah but could you check the Geofront for me it would tell me if he's left or anything."
"Fine" Ritsuko admitted defeat and sat her coffee down before starting to type rapidly on her keyboard.
After a few moments of running through the Magi's surveillance system she blinked and stared at the image being shown to her. Misato came around to check on her friend and blinked as well.
The third child was jumping and moving across several uneven logs and assorted pieces of wood swinging a bokken at hanging targets. While this could impress someone for a moment what truly held their attention was the skill in which Shinji showed. He moved around under any swinging log that came close before lashing out with his sword and moving on. Each movement seemed like a dance to them yet both understood such a dance performed would mean death against a person.
"Well that's one mystery solved." Ritsuko finally snapped out of her thoughts and cut the feed.
"Yeah I guess so when is Shinji-kun moving in with the Commander?" Misato asked.
"He isn't. Incase you haven't noticed those two don't exactly get along in fact they hate each other. Neither is willing to live in the same home as the other sharing a city is probably a push for them." Ritsuko answered.
"I wonder what happened to make them so cold to one another." Misato mused.
"I don't know and I doubt anyone has the guts to ask them. So as far as Shinji-san goes he'll be given an apartment or a room here I suppose."
"I think I have a better solution!" Misato declared with a bright smile. Ritsuko just knew this would not end well.
Nerv
"I don't need a guardian Misato-san so this is really unnecessary I'm better off on my own." Shinji stated riding in the lift towards the surface and the captain's awaiting car.
"Now, now a boy your age shouldn't be living alone and besides my place is really close to your school." Misato replied with a few dismissive waves at him.
"School, Misato-san why would I be enrolled in a school around here I've already graduated from college with three degrees." Shinji said with a blink having never attended school with people his own age.
"All pilots have to attend school Ayanami-san will even be in your class. It makes it easier to keep up with you incase of an emergency."
Before the youth could reply the lift doors opened revealing Commander Ikari, who stepped aboard. Shinji remained deathly silent and kept his eyes facing ahead not sparing his stepfather a single glance. Misato watched the pair standing not four feet apart yet the distance between them could have been miles with their cold dismissal of each other.
'Geez men can be so pig-headed they don't even realize how alike they look right now. Oh well not my problem.'
Apartment
Shinji sighed taking in the look of his new home. Before he had thought Misato was just a flake and morally corrupt but now he had decided the word slob should be added. The entire place was littered with trash, unwashed clothing, clean clothing, and an absurd amount of beer cans. The next surprise had been Misato's pet a warm water penguin by the name Pen Pen that lived in the fridge and seemed as bad of drinker as his new guardian.
Taking out his Mobile he walked into the room labeled 'Shinji's Fabulous Suite' hitting the call button he laid down and waited for the other side to pick up.
"Shinji-kun?" the tired voice of Tenchi Masaki asked when the line finally connected.
"Rather early for you to be so tired Tenchi-kun did Masaki-san run you through a difficult exercise since I was away and it was your last day there?" Shinji asked hearing his brother's voice.
"No but am I glad you called. I was able to get the key from him today and get past the gate." Tenchi responded with a little excitement the sleepiness instantly gone.
"What happened and why didn't you call me I would've found a way to come back?" Shinji said demanding details. The pair had discovered the site where Yosho was said to have sealed a demon after defeating it a few years ago but found the gate locked and Kasuhito with the only key. Shinji didn't know the truth behind it because his birth father had refused to tell him. It was one section of Juraian history that remained a mystery to him, which in turned sparked a sort of childish curiosity. The records he could access of Ryoko's attack on Jurai painted a very scary picture but still it wasn't the entire story.
"It was weird Shinji-kun the entire place defied anything I've ever read in history books. . . . I even found the sword Yosho was said to use the blade broke of but I still have the hilt. . . . . I kinda broke the blade on a rock and found the chamber the demon was put into."
"YOU DID WHAT! Tenchi-kun, tell me what happened next and are you alright?"
"Shinji-kun it woke up, when I entered the chamber the mummified remains started moving! It tried to grab the sword hilt but then there was a blast of light and I took off. I think things are ok though I put the seal charm back together with some vines."
"Did you tell Masaki-san?"
"No, Grandpa would kill me if he found about this."
"Alright but you better get some sleep you have school tomorrow call me when it ends and we'll figure out what to do. Tenchi-kun if anything happens call me and I'll be there." Shinji said his voice becoming authoritative.
"Yes Brother good night Shinji-kun" Tenchi said his voice in a whining tone an old joke between the two from when Shinji was the one to put Tenchi to bed after Kiyone's death.
"Goodnight Tenchi-kun." With that he ended the call and let out a deep sigh his eyes closing.
'This will not end well. I need to handle the other pilot situation tomorrow and then get back to Tenchi-kun. Next thing you know our world will be turned upside down.'
School
Shinji had officially decided Misato was out of her mind. After he had called Tenchi last night he had to drag the drunken woman to her bed. He then spent hours cleaning and organizing the entire house simply unable to allow the place to be that dirty. That morning he had discovered nothing edible but instant food and curry, which led too a predawn trip to the closest market and the instating of Shinji as Misato's guardian in his mind.
Now he sat in classroom 2-A, alone with school still some time away from starting. The only other soul around was the class representative Hikari Horaki a freckled girl who took her job entirely too seriously and that was something coming from him.
'I'm making a risky move this time. If it fails I'll have to do something drastic to dissuade both SEELE and Rokubungi-san. Why can't my life ever be simple?'
He watched the blue haired girl whom he was here to talk with enter the room her arm still in a sling but dressed in the school powder blue dress uniform. She sat next to a window and instantly turned her gaze to stare out at the world ignoring everything else. Shinji let his hand wrap around the Ikari-ken in his pocket before rising from his seat.
"Nature is a most beautiful sight but what can you truly feel from behind a looking glass?" Shinji asked standing over her his eyes looking at the sights outside the window.
Rei briefly turned to look at him before turning her focus back to the window disregarding him as unimportant.
"Ayanami-san that is your name isn't it or would you prefer Lilith-chan?" She turned sharply to see Shinji walking towards the door.
"I prefer to be in the fresh air and see the whole picture so I'll be on the roof if you want to join me." He said tuning back to her before walking out.
Rei watched him go with an impassive expression. This boy who was supposed to be the commander's son shouldn't have any knowledge of her creation, yet he had just displayed such knowledge. She had to discover what more he knew and whether he posed a threat to the scenario. Rei made the decision to speak to the Third Child and discover the answers to her questions.
Arriving on the roof she observed him basking in the sunlight with his right hand outstretched towards the sun. Shinji had his eyes closed and a relaxed smile on his face. He sensed Ayanami behind him and slowly lowered his arm.
"I desire to know what you meant." She stated in a monotonous voice devoid of feeling.
"Humans are such an odd species don't you think? They desire peace and tranquility yet rip apart and scar the very planet that gives it such things. Forests are ripped apart to build cities, which become larger and larger like a festering wounds as more people flock to them. Man refuses to coexist with nature and instead choose to force nature into its servitude! It was the desire for power that brought about the true Second Impact and awakened the giant of light. I thank my mother everyday that I share such a very small percentage of Earthling DNA."
"Are you an Angel?" She asked after listening to him.
"Are you?" he retorted.
"I am I." She responded seemingly automatically.
"Yes, you are you, Rokubungi-san's replacement for me completely bound by his will and desires. He has no idea what he created. You have no idea of just what you are Ayanami-san."
"I do not understand."
"You are a child born from both Lilith and My mother Yui Ikari. The resemblance is uncanny Rokubungi-san is such a fool for not thinking I'd notice." He explained.
"How do you know this?"
"The hair and eyes match the profile given for the Second Angel this is also confirmed by your healing factor. Your face and hairstyle matches that of my Mother and it would be the only way you stood a chance of Synching with Unit-01. You are unique but only to those who lack the knowledge of Gehirn." He held no disdain in his voice he sounded like he was reading a chart off to her.
"That does not answer my question. Please clarify what I do not know about myself."
"Whatever I say or have said will simply be told to Rokubungi-san and I have no desire yet to let him know just what I know."
"Then you understand that Commander Ikari will have you brought in for questioning and detained for keeping secrets." Rei stated calmly.
"I am not afraid of a foolish man with a god complex." He responded and Rei moved forward and attempting to slap him. Shinji caught her hand at the wrist before it could make contact.
"God's In His Heaven... All's Right with the World, yet you and I are not of this world just as Yui Ikari was not of this Earth. You Rei Ayanami are not human just as I am not human but believe what you will after all who am I to dictate things to you." Shinji said releasing her wrist and turning to look back out at the world.
"You are attempting to deceive me." She stated though it lacked conviction.
Shinji reached into his pocket and removed the Ikari-ken; Rei stared at the bladeless wooden sword hilt with its black coloring and dark blue gem setting. The crystal placed at the top pulsed with energy for a second before a blade of silver-blue light and energy sprang fourth. It vanished a second later and Shinji slid the hilt back into his pocket.
"Half-Angel or not we are still the same and I will not judge you but I will stop you and Rokubungi-san. There is much more out there to see Ayanami-san and more to you and I then meet's the eye. If you want to be free then seek me out and I'll show you just what is out there. If not then ignore my words and call them false, deny your blood and remain a puppet controlled by his strings. You are you maybe it is time you started being your own person." With those parting words Shinji Ikari-Masaki turned and walked past the blue-haired girl and back inside.
Ayanami continued to stand there a soft wind flowing over the roof and brushing her hair and uniform. She was utterly confused by the Third Child's words and was unsure on a course of action to take. For her entire life she had lived for the Commander and his scenario and she required nothing else or desired anything else but now Rei was being told she could make a choice and that there were things she lacked knowledge about concerning herself.
'This is a dangerous development I should inform the Commander but why does a part of me desire to keep this from him? Was the Third Child only trying to confuse me or is there a hidden meaning to his words? Perhaps I should investigate further and present a more complete set of findings to the Commander? Yes, I will accept the offer of the Third and discover what he means and how it will impact the scenario.' With a solid course to follow she allowed herself to put all non-essential things aside and returned to the classroom. She had no idea how drastically her fate had just been altered by that decision.
Lunch
'I hate public school!' Shinji thought with a sigh leaving the classroom and heading for the roof. Several students were absent because of the battle yesterday and the ones that were around he couldn't relate to in any way. He was also very sure the kid with the glasses that sat near him was hacking government agencies and might possibly one day make a great super-villain with his barely concealed and low maniacal laugh.
'I may have gone a bit far with Rei-san as well. She's been discreetly observing me all day, which means I made sense to her or I am going to find myself in a dangerous situation very quickly. I have to stop reading manga I took that move right from one. Never destroy someone's perception of the world it leads to bad thing, usually making them go insane and trying to destroy the world and sadly were lacking in the dashing samurai-hero types although they do turn on there parents first and Rokubungi-san getting ripped apart by Juraian energy and an A.T. field is quite the pleasant image.'
With a smile on his face he reached the roof and sat down his back leaning against a wall. Setting his bent down he took a breath of air before beginning to quietly eat. He sensed his new stalker come onto the roof and gently set his lunch aside.
"Ayanami-san is there something I can help you with?" He asked his eyes never leaving the horizon.
"You ordered me to seek you out if I desired answers so I have reported." She replied simply.
"You don't think metaphorically do you Ayanami-san?" he watched her just tilt her head to the right and shook his head.
"We are children of Jurai, kin of the stars born away from our homeland. The hilt I showed you earlier is the Ikari-ken, an artifact of Jurai given to my mother and passed down to me. It is the symbol of two royal families out of the four born of our first emperor joining to make the Ikari family. Only you and I can use it anyone else would be unable to touch it without a near fatal injury. If you are willing to miss the rest of your classes I can take you somewhere and show you everything. Where we go the Commander cannot follow and you might miss anything planned for you at Nerv." He stated making the offer and putting out a small branch of trust.
Ayanami blinked but understood the Third wished to show her proof instead of rattling off something that could be false. She was slightly unnerved by the possibility of a place being unreachable by the Commander and by leaving the place she was supposed to be per orders but the outcome outweighed the possible repercussions. Slowly nodding she watched him smile softly and rise.
"Welcome to the world Ayanami-san." Shinji said placing a hand on her shoulder and establishing contact with Yui-Oh. Rei felt lightheaded for a moment and instantly she and the Third Child vanished from the roof.
Yui-Oh
The air distorted slightly as the pair arrived on the Treeship. Rei immediately took note of her surroundings. Trees and grass filled her vision along with plants and flowers of every variety, even some she could not identify as belonged on Earth. A giant tree dominated all others and was directly behind them. Sounds of animals and other life touched her senses but she paid it no heed.
"This is the Yui-Oh, my ship planted and grown by my mother using her own ship which had taken root as materials. A Juraian Treeship is a living entity linked to its owner." Shinji explained.
Rei could feel the energy and life of this place flowing around her. The energy was like nothing she had ever felt before but it also seemed familiar and calming to her senses like a missing piece of her could be found here. She turned hearing a sound and watched an odd sight occur.
A pair of logs taller then either of them were flying towards them at high speeds. One had a red kanji that stood for "Amaki" drawn on its front while the other had the kanji for "Tatsuki" done in blue on its front. They began circling Shinji forcing Rei back once in range. What came next surprised even the unflappable First Child.
"Lord Shinji your back!" Amaki declared in a high pitched energetic female voice.
"We did not expect you so soon Lord Shinji has a situation arisen that forced you to leave?" Tatsuki asked in a lower and more controlled female voice.
"Amaki, Tatsuki your being rude to our guest and no there hasn't been a situation but I found someone that needs to know about herself." Shinji seemed exasperated with the pair but smiled nonetheless.
"Guest!" both exclaimed and turned to Rei before starting to circle her rapidly firing off questions to fast for her to follow.
"That is enough!" with his stern words both logs stopped and moved back to his side.
"This should not be possible Ikari-san." Rei stated looking at the two logs that had just annoyed her more then Captain Katsuragi ever could.
"These are Amaki and Tatsuki they're Juraian guardians. They are independent of the ship but interface directly with it as well and basically are here to protect me and take orders though I prefer not to be too bossy." Shinji said rubbing the back of his head.
"Lord Shinji this girl's genetics read positive of having at least one parent being of the Ikari family but the other half of her code is unknown to me and the Yui-oh also the only living heirs to the Ikari in this area would be the Honorable Yui-sama or yourself." Tatsuki stated though her voice was slightly confused.
"That's not possible! Yui-sama is deceased and Lord Shinji hasn't married yet!" Amaki defended loudly.
"Check for yourself Amaki I don't make mistakes." Tatsuki replied.
"NO WAY!" Amaki let out once she had run the same test.
"I'll explain things to you both later, please make sure that all the spare quarters are clean in case we end up staying the night or any night in the future." Shinji ordered.
"Right!" with that both were off into the mass of paths and trees.
"Those two are. . . . Intriguing" Rei announced as they vanished from sight.
"Since they don't leave the ship I let them tap into satellites. Tatsuki likes to read and do research, while Amaki spends endless hours watching television. It's given them rather unique personalities."
Ayanami felt no need to comment and watched Shinji turn to look ahead several screen suddenly appeared from thin seemingly holographic. Information was being displayed in a language she had never seen before and then flashed switching over to Japanese.
"What was that language?" She asked speaking up for one of the first times in her life.
"Juraian I learned it from Amaki and Tatsuki a few years ago."
Rei nodded and listened as Shinji began explanations.
Apartment
Misato by nature wasn't an easily annoyed woman, unless you happened to be a certain pony tailed unshaven male talking to her, but even her easy going temperament had its limits. The current cause of her mounting temper was a fourteen year old male who was pacing back and fourth cleaning anything that caught his eyes and constantly turning to look at his Mobile phone.
"So Shinji-kun did anything interesting happen at school?" She asked trying to divert the young mans attention.
"No the teacher just rambles on about things before Second Impact, I met Ayanami-san formally today I've decided to bring her out fo her shell a little." He answered.
"Oh, so that's why you're watching the phone. Go Shinji-kun less then a day and you already have a girlfriend." Misato teased and watched her ward blush.
"Misato-san it's not like that, she and I are just friends and comrades!" Before the argument could continue his phone rang and Shinji instantly grabbed it.
"Tenchi-Kun you were supposed to call hours ago!" He immediately chastised his brother.
"Shinji-kun you gotta help me, I fell asleep on the roof of the school and when I woke there was this strange woman only she's not a woman it's the demon! Well I mean she is a woman but you get my point." Came the frightened voice of Tenchi Masaki.
"Tenchi-kun, I'm on my way keep the sword close it'll protect you and just hang on!" Shinji advised before the line suddenly went dead.
Running to the door he rapidly began slipping his shoes on. He heard Misato get up just as he opened the door.
"Shinji-kun what was all of that about and where are your going this late?" She demanded.
"I don't have time to explain right now Misato-san but I'll be back tomorrow at the latest."
"I can't let you do that Shinji-kun I'm responsible for you and what if there's an Angel attack?"
"Misato-san someone I care about is right now very close to dying if I don't go and help him. He's my brother and my twin even if we don't share parents and I'm going. I'll be back I promise but I have to help my family." He replied and rushed out the door.
Misato ran after him but found no trace of him outside.
'Sorry Shinji-kun but I have to report this. Where the hall did you go though?' She thought and went to make the call.
With Tenchi
Shinji appeared a block from Tenchi's school and could spot the flames from there. Taking off in a sprint he saved his energy for what he thought was an upcoming battle. Pulling the Ikari-ken from his pocket he rounded the last corner.
Only to see Tenchi holding the Tenchi-ken with the blade of light activated and the sword moving to attack and defend pulling Tenchi along for the ride. The demon, which appeared to a beautiful young woman with cyan colored hair and golden eyes dressed in a loose cream colored outfit, was wielding a single sword of yellow energy. Shinji watched his brother or more precisely his sword lop off the demon's hand causing the gem on her wrist to smoke and fall to the ground.
He charged forward then and stood beside Tenchi startling both his brother and the demon.
"Sorry I'm late nice work." He said to Tenchi before turning and raising the Ikari-ken a blade of light exploding from it.
"H'YA, you have to show them you have no fear." He stated with his sword raised in a rather comical fashion.
"Shinji-kun the fights sort of over the gem on her wrist was the source of her power." Tenchi said grabbing the boys arm.
"Sorry about your hand." Tenchi then offered an apology to the confused woman.
Shinji blinked looking between the two.
Ryoko only smiled and covered the missing hand and then revealed the appendage to be completely regenerated. Shinji blinked again as Tenchi began to clap and began to join him. He watched her take a bow before disappearing and found his brother smiling at him.
"IDIOT!" the smile faded as Shinji brought his fist down on his brother's skull his eyes twitching in annoyance.
Tenchi vaguely felt himself being dragged away Shinji's hand wrapped around his shirts collar.
"I let you out of my sight for three days and look at the trouble you've gotten into. Not only did you release a demon and then somehow forge a rather odd friendship with her but drag me into it as well AND YOU SLEPT THROUGH YOUR FIRST DAY OF CLASSES! How are you going to get into a good school by doing that? Just great when we get home you and I are having a long talk and don't even think about nodding off while I rant brother."
'It's great to have Shinji-kun home I missed this.'
'I missed this it's great to be home even if we now have a demon that seems to like us. Damn it all what's next?'
Masaki Residence
Shinji Ikari-Masaki, Registered Third Child and pilot of Evangelion Unit-01 and resident Juraian slumped onto his bed with a loud yawn. There was simply no place like home especially considering there was not a drunken commanding officer to drag to her room. He snuggled into his pillow and let his eyes slide shut.
He was just about to nod off when he heard a loud Thump from Tenchi's room and a muffled squeal. Rising from his bed he blurrily made his way to the room right across form his and threw open the door intent on giving his pseudo-twin a stern warning about waking him up.
"Hey did you come to join us for a three-way?" Ryoko asked as he stood there blinking.
Shinji blinks and blinks again. Raising a hand he lightly rubbed the sleep from his eyes and blinked a third time.
". . . . . . I'm NOT going to ask but please keep it down. . . . . . AND. . . . . . Can you try not to mess up the room so bad the smell will be bad enough to get out, pleas? . . . . . . Have fun Oh great Demon-Tamer." With that he closed the door and walked back to his room.
"SHINJI-KUN!"
Please Read and Review
Ending note 1: Hey guy's chapters will probably be hopping back between series but I really want to focus on Tenchi and his gang with Shinji around but I won't neglect NGE either any ideas you have just post on the review to the story and add pairings. Also I need a Beta for about a week.
Till next time.
