I'm in a foil mood yet again. If any of you is thinking "I'll write Pokemon" stop your thoughts right there because that place is a war zone. Anyway, trouble aside here is the chapter.

Thank you Dac2003, Scattershot98, and emotheextremo for your feedback, thoughts, and questions. I also like to thank the readers along with those that favorited and/or followed the story.

There was one thing both Lucy and Shinji feared. It was going to school. Lucy being the one in control groaned as she learned that she had to wear a uniform. It was strange that there was still school going on even in a city that was basically a war zone no more than two weeks ago.

Lucy stopped when she/he saw Asuka standing outside the school. With the back of the head, Shinji questioned why the redhead was here. 'Isn't she supposed to be at NERV?'

Asuka turned her head over and caught sight of both Rei and a Lucy controlled Shinji. She was told that the school was one that both Rei and Shinji went too. Asuka had a bit of controlled fury at the thought of talking to the Commander. After learning how badly Rei was treated by him Asuka had to hold back the desire to choke him to death.

Rei herself looked at Asuka. Her expression didn't change outwardly but much like Shinji/Lucy, she wondered about why her sibling was here. "Have you familiarize yourself with the base?"

"Of course I have," Asuka had a smirk at this. Although as soon as she let it out the Commander thought it was best to enroll her at school. Seeing how Asuka already had a degree it seemed just insulting. 'I could be a teacher myself but no.'

Her feelings about this aside it wasn't like it should be a problem for her. Except for the whole fact, she couldn't really read the written Japanese language. She could speak it thanks to her mother teaching her at a young age. Beyond that though she was basically illiterate as for as Japan was concerned. "I'll also be moving in tomorrow with you both."

'Great.' Lucy could hear the sarcasm within Shinji's thoughts at this. After what had happened yesterday he didn't want a complicated situation. Especially with a girl who had conflicting feelings likely brought on by her experiencing the memories of her past life.

The Angel attack had a surprising impact on the city of Tokyo-3. NERV beforehand had a lot of influence on it before the attack. As to be expected from working closely with the armed forces in what was a fortress city built in both the aftermath of Second Impact and the Impact Wars. Now, the organization was practically in control of the city thanks to the approval of the JSSDF and the U.N. The other impact was that some of the residents of the city had chosen to leave out of a sense of fear.

Some of the school's students had left because of their families moving away. Lucy suspected that come the next Angel attack, and the others that were likely to follow, the student body would decrease to the point that whole classes would start to merge. 'You know you think they would understand what living in a fortress city means.'

On her planet, a city like Tokyo-3 wouldn't be that out of place. Tough it would be seen as a bit more relaxed in design the way the city was set up, easy public transportation and road system to prevent traffic, nearby weapons placements in a natural mountainous wall, an underground military base, etc would make it seem to be something of an ideal city. 'You know I have to ask, why are cities on your world made like that.'

Shinji for the life of him couldn't understand just what had happened to cause such a thing. He didn't know much about it or it's people even if he did, in a sense. 'That's probably because of a leftover from a governing structure you call feudalism,' Yui was rather knowledgeable in terms of history. It's from her Lucy saw a similarity between the system and the one back on Sheol. 'It still exists in something on a heavily altered form within my world's current major governing system.'

The rest of it had to be put on hold as Lucy stopped and looked at the door in front of her. She checked the paper that she was given to make sure that this was the class. "Class 2, yep this is the place."

They walked into the room and saw a few missing desks. Likely from students that were pulled out by their parents moving. Their eyes fell on to a certain ice blue haired albino who was staring out the window. 'Looks like we got the same class as Rei.'

The red-haired eye caught sight of Shinji walking in from the reflection on the window. Given the influence NERV had on the school she wasn't surprised by the fact that he was assigned to her classroom. 'This must mean that my sister will also be assigned the same room as me and Shinji.'

Rei wasn't the only one to take notice to Shinji/Lucy's entry into the classroom. The whole class started to whisper amongst themselves about this sudden change. Given that, in the last few days, their fellow students seemed to be leaving suddenly having a new one show up caused many to wonder why.

Lucy noticed that one of the students was glaring at them. If she had her powers she could see into his A.T. field and figure out why that was. 'Maybe he just doesn't like new people?' Shinji paused before he decided to make a comment on the whole reading people's minds bit. 'Also, isn't you know reading their minds an invasion of people's privacy?'

'Not really it's how we progenitors, most Seeds of Life based life, and even some Seeds of Knowledge based life communicate,' Shinji had to remind himself that Lucy wasn't human. As much as she did understand certain human social cues others were foreign to her.

Lucy took the seat next just behind Rei. Like the albino girl she just chose to look out the window as class started. Given her nature as a progenitor, she really didn't need an education. Each one was basically gifted with extreme intelligence and information so that they could properly establish their colony. Seeds of Knowledge were even given an advance understanding on such things like engineering medical care, and the like for when their progeny develop civilization. Shinji, however, needed an education much to her annoyance.

The teacher walked in as the class took their seats. Lucy barely paid attention to this. The teacher went on that they had gotten two new students. "I see one of them is within the class already you mind coming up here and tell everyone your name?"

Lucy blinked for a moment. 'Oh, right,' Getting up she/he walked to the front. Lucy stared for a moment she tried to recall what to say. She decided to just go with something simple. "Hello, I'm Shinji Ikari please take good care of me." Somehow she made it seem only a tiny bit forced.

Taking their seat the teacher motioned for the other new student to walk in. The door opened as the class started to whisper about the foreign girl who entered into class. Asuka wrote her name on the chalkboard, using the Latin-based alphabet that German used, and turned to the class. "Hello, I'm Asuka Langley Soryu," She noticed Rei sitting within the class and then looked at everyone else. "I'm Rei older sister."

The whole school was abuzz when Asuka had revealed herself as Rei's sibling. The later had several students ask her if it was true. Rei simply responded that it was true with them being half-siblings. By lunchtime the whole class, possibly most of the school was talking about the sudden turn in events.

Lucy looked on as they watched Rei sitting with Asuka. The redhead looked at the small lunch that her sister had. "That looks far better then what the school is serving did you make that?"

Rei shook her head. She looked out and spied Shinji. "Shinji made it for me."

The albino thought nothing of what she had said. It just seemed like him just giving her food. Asuka, however, felt her protective sister since tingling. Lucy who was watching this could see that Asuka was staring at them. "Hey, Third Child come here!"

Lucy decided they might as well. Taking a seat off to the side. "So, you are cooking lunch for my sister," Asuka had her arms crossed as the memory from yesterday flashed for less than a second through her mind. "Mind me asking why?"

Lucy rolled her eyes at this. Asuka was a bit too much of a protective older sibling. A devious thought crossed her mind. "It's either I cook or Misato does," Lucy actually winced at the taste. Shinji said it best when he complained that it wasn't fit for human consumption. Even if she was as she was as a progenitor, a being who could eat anything organic and even inorganic, Lucy suspected that she wouldn't eat it out of preference. "Besides how bad it is Misato tends to eat take out and I am pretty sure you know how unhealthy that is."

Asuka didn't have a comeback for that. She didn't know if what he said was the truth or not. She looked at the lunch that Rei was eating and then her own. This did not go unnoticed by Lucy. "You know if you want I could make you lunch for tomorrow."

"Really?" It had been a long time since she had a freshly cooked meal. Asuka stopped and looked away. "Not that I would like it," She immediately shot him a glare. "I just don't want to find out you only did this to get with my sister."

'She's a tsundere.' Lucy wasn't that surprised as she did recall that Lilith was a bit like that at first. That and being what people would term a Yandere when she got really possessive. Seeing how Asuka likely inherited that aspect it stood to reason the other one inherited that aspect. '... There no way Rei inherited that aspect.'

In contrast to her sibling who didn't have much when he moved in Asuka had a lot more in the way of possessions. As Rei looked over them she made note of a doll. It was old and worn. The red buttons for eyes an the threads used for hair seemed to be designed after Asuka herself. Rei pulled the doll up and looked at it. "Careful with that."

Rei looked over as she saw Asuka holding her mother's diary in her hands. "Is this important?"

"Of course it is," Asuka placed the diary on the drawer as she took the doll in her arms. She had a sad expression as she remembered how she had gotten it. "This was the last thing mama gave me."

After an experiment, her mother seemed to have gone mad. She made a doll in her image and for months treated it like her. Until one day in what seemed to have been a brief period of sanity, her mother realized what she had done. She gave the doll to her and whispered an apology. The next day she walked into finding her mother hanging from the ceiling. "Why mama,' A single tear feel out the corner of her eyes at this memory. 'Why did you have to kill yourself.'

As she looked at her Rei felt a slight tinge of something. It was like she had lost something important to herself. Something that she couldn't describe. 'Is this what losing a loved one feels like?' Rei knew she and Asuka were connected. Perhaps she was feeling Asuka's sense of loss for her mother. 'I don't want to feel this feeling.'

Rei brought her sister into a hug. Asuka was surprised for a moment before returning the hug that her sibling gave her. The redhead whispered into her ear softly. "Thank you."

A small smile formed on Rei's face. The two of them broke the embrace as a knock was heard on the door. "Asuka Rei are you both in there?" Misato voice was heard on the other side of the door before walking in. "Oh, sorry for intruding but it seems that you both are going to have to share the same bed for the time being."

Misato couldn't believe that there wasn't a single store selling them. If that wasn't bad enough it turned out that her delivery got lost in the mail again. 'Going to have to see why that keeps happening someday.'

Rei just nodded in understanding. Asuka, however, was a bit worried about this. The redhead had a secret in that she didn't go to bed clothed. A habit that she had picked up when she was younger and one that persisted even when she had gotten several nightgowns. 'Wait a minute,' Rei only had her school outfit and a few pairs of underwear. 'Does that mean she sleeps in the nude as well?'

It would make a lot of sense actually. Especially given how little the Commander seemed to care for her. Anger boiled through her mind as she pictured him doing it to a young Rei as something of a sick joke or worse. She had to hold herself back from the rather tempting thought of breaking his face the next time they saw each other. 'When this stupid war is done I'm taking my sister as far away from that Hurensohn!'

Asuka pushes out her feelings as she turned to Rei. Her stoic and emotionally underdeveloped sister. At that moment she made a promise that she was going to do whatever she could to make her happy. "Hey, how about tomorrow I take you to the mall to get you something to wear besides just your school uniform."

"Does this have something to do with yesterday?" Rei never did understand why Asuka was so concerned about it. All she needed was to just go to school, to NERV for synchronization tests, and back at her apartment or now back at Misato's. Except for her plugsuit, she didn't have any need to wear anything else.

"Well, yes but that's not only it," She did notice how Rei's uniform did look a bit worn out when compared to everyone else's. She had at least three others and yet it was clear that Rei only ever owned one. It was almost like a certain someone didn't care if she wore anything. "If you have something else to wear your clothes would last longer and already I can tell that your school uniform is worn."

Rei had to admit that her outfit was showing signs of overuse. She didn't care about it given that she wasn't expected to live much longer. Still, perhaps it was for the best if her outfit broke apart then she wouldn't have anything to wear in public. Despite how little Rei put into wearing clothes that at least she knew she couldn't do. "Very well."

Ritsuko looked at the results of Shinji's synchronization test with Eva-01. It was just amazing how quickly he managed to shot up despite piloting only once before. For much of the test, he had a score within the eighties almost nearing ninety by the time the test ended. All the results from the test seemed to go over well. Except for when she looked over the brain waves scans.

The part about this that surprised her was that both Shinji and Eva-01 had the same brain wave patterns for most of the experiment. Being one of the few who knew the truth about the Evangelions being organic beings they grafted robotic parts on it had been her job to check the Evangelions overall health both during the tests and during deployment. 'Given the high synchronization rate and the same brain wave patterns…'

Her eyes widened as she realized what this could mean. Shinji had managed to make contact with the soul of his mother. This should have been impossible without nearing a dangerous level of synchronization. 'How did this even happen?'

She went over several scenarios on how this could have been done. The first one that sprang to mind was quickly dismissed. Shinji didn't have any traits of an Angel like Asuka and Rei. Even then the two of them hadn't shown such a thing before. 'Plus he is genetically related to the Commander and Yui and not Lilith or Adam like the rest of the Evangelions.' The second and much more logical answer was that Yui had made contact with her son. 'If that is the case then what does that mean?'

Ritsuko made up her mind after thinking about it for a few minutes she decided to tell him about this development. As she walked to his office she saw him talking over the phone. Standing in front of the room she waited for him to finish ad she continued to think about what he was going to do with this development.

The Commander of NERV put down the phone as he finished talking to one of the other branches. The American branch was in a joint effort with the UK finishing up completion with both Eva Units 03, 04, and 05. Given that he had shown he could effectively request any one of them, thanks to him getting both Eva-02 and it's pilot from Germany, there was now incentive to call him about the Evangelion development.

NERV headquarters still had four LCL tanks and Gendo wasn't one to let each Evangelion out of his sight. "Doctor Akagi, what is it?"

Ritsuko handed him the results of the synchronization test with the page on the brain waves being the first one he would see. He had read it in the second that she handed it to him. For a moment he actually had his eyes widened in surprise at what this was implying. Especially when compared to the scans of the brain waves before the test. "Sir, I think Yui has made contact with her son during the test."

It looked in around its surroundings with confusion. When it awoke it expected the world to be something else then what it found. All around it, life moved. Life that wasn't like it in any way. At first, it tried to contact the strange thinkings that had dug their feet into the ground. Nothing came from it.

They were not like it. On some fundamental level, it knew this. Perhaps the progenitor had failed and one of the others found and colonized the world? These were questions that echoed in its mind. Until it felt a bombardment of information. In its progenitor's dying moments it managed to impart each of its spawn the information on what had happened.

This world should be theirs. Instead, another Seed had landed and took over the world. It had to find it's progenitor and heal it so that it could finish its job. The problem was it didn't have an idea of where to go. After so many millions if not billions of years the land of the planet had changed. Thinking of what to do for several hours it finally realized that it could try homing in on the nearest progenitor signal that it could find. There was no guarantee that it would be its progenitor but at least there was a chance.

It found a signal in a group of islands to the south west of were it had awoken. There it could sense an injured progenitor. This had to be the one for it's kind. Focusing on its power the newly awakened beings A.T. field surrounded itself as it started to float above the ground and towards to its destination.

Antarctica was once seen as something of a ice filled desert. Even with Second Impact having changed the Earth's axis it was still cold and and while ice no longer covered it salt and even the occasional snow could be seen. What had changed was that few if anything native to the land was left. In a day nearly everything alive on the continent had died out rendering it a true wasteland.

Within this continent, however, something did life. Near what used to be Adam's Seed-ship something began to awaken. A purple handed shot out of the salt-covered ground as a purple humanoid looked around. Its eyes were wild and it's sensing burning. A gaping hole existed within its body. It was missing something important. "My soul…"

Its voice was emotionless. The creature looked around trying to feel a signal or anything that would lead it to were it was. A fate pull told it where to go. The missing part of its being was still alive. "Must unite with it become whole again."

No matter the cause or no matter how it will take back its soul and become whole. As it walked in the direction ignoring the cold winds and the like something jumped out at it. It was a feral white humanoid about the size of a human. The creature had a hole in its chest and even more, had just a long younger coming out of its mouth. The purple being grabbed it as it roared at her without no care.

This creature was of Adam's remains and it knew that this purple creature was of the thing that killed it. The soulless body of Lucifer tossed the remnant of Adam into the ground. It immediately got back up and faired it's body morphing almost violently shaking as it looked at her with a primal yell.

"Begone must find my soul." The soulless shell said as it turned away from it. The creature didn't take well to this and jumped at it hoping to smash it into the ground. Instead, the soulless form managed to get out of the way and looked for something to pin it down.

Even though it was devoid of its soul it's nature as a progenitor offered it a degree of independent thought without it. It stopped as it saw the Spear of Longinus that Lucifer owned. The object was in a condensed state and while the body couldn't access it in full it still could use it as a means to pin it down. It grabbed the object and threw it into the creature pinning it on both of its sides. "Stay down I must find my soul."

It walked away emotionlessly as the creature thrashed uncontrollably under the pain of the spear. Eventually, it did manage to pull itself off of the thing by ripping its body off of it. The pain causing it to roll around unroll it was healed. By then the body of Lucifer was gone.

Said soulless body continued to walk through the cold and contaminated environment without a care. Unfazed by what had happened to the continent the body moved with a single goal in its mind. After a few hours of walking, it found the ocean. It looked at the water before looking straight up. "I must continue my travels."

It jumped into the water and as soon as it entered its body began to shift. It's legs mixing together becoming a long tail with a shark-like fin. The water of the earth didn't bother it as it moved through the seas.

Gendo sat within his office. His mind racing at what to do about the fact that his son had managed to contact his wife during the synchronization test. Somehow Yui and Shinji talked to each other. 'I have to know…' Whatever she told their son, whatever they had said to each other, he had to know. 'I could order my son to tell me about it and then have him try it again in order to make contact with her.'

He stopped as he realized that he might have a chance to speak to her. Even if it was indirectly Gendo couldn't waste this chance. Of course, if he just ordered his son to talk to her Yui would tell him about his plan. Even if it wasn't during the second test eventually she will tell him.

This would mean he would have to tell his son about the scenario. It was a necessary evil all things considered. 'Although how do I keep him quiet about this?' He thought about what to do. 'I'll have to see what he wants.'

Gendo got up and walked from his office to the Eva cages. Most of NERV's staff were current at home as a skeleton crew walked around the base at night. His mind turned back to the day Yui was taken from him. The day he lost his wife and the day he failed as a father. 'I know that whatever happens, it will not be pretty,' He could picture Eva-01 ripping him in half out of anger as both mother and son take their justified revenge on him. 'If it comes to that I won't fight back.'

This is just mostly set up for what is to come next. I know Angels Gambit hasn't been updated and I am already writing it.I might be on temporary hiatus soon. Mostly because I have written nonstop sense january. Had to believe it that I managed to in total make a hundred chapters and only a million words.

Anyway, cya all later.
