Summary:
Shinji, Asuka, Aki, Rei and their three friends, plus PenPen take a trip to a large aquarium for the day.
"Trip to the Aquarium"
"This is soo awesome! It's soo damn cool!" Kensuke excitedly voiced out loudly as he held his handheld camera, recording everything while running around the place taking in everything from the area and facility which was just the seaside in old Tokyo 2.
"Fishy, fishy, fishy! I wanna see some fishies!" Aki's voiced her excitement alongside Kensuke's. The only thing preventing her from running around like the military nerd was Rei firmly securing her hand in hers, as per instruction by Asuka and Shinji.
"Geez, I don't know who's more like a little kid. My Schätzchen or the military nut?" Asuka said to everyone present, which was her, Shinji, Toji, Hikari and Rei.
"Also didn't Kensuke keep saying before that his hobby was military stuff? So why is he excited over an aquarium facility?" Hikari wondered also and even looked to her boyfriend for answers to which Toji just shrugged his shoulders while he sighed.
"It's amazing a place like this even exists. After the second impact, the marine wildlife was in complete disarray and many species were on the verge of extinction so the UN made these facilities around the world in hopes of preserving the sea life," Kensuke now rambled on, completely missing the light jabs towards him in his over-excitement. Finally he turned towards his friends, especially Asuka and Shinji, him focusing his camera too close to their faces, much to the irritation on Asuka's part. "How did you get us access to this facility!?" Kensuke asked questionably.
"First of all Aida, get that camera out of my face!" Asuka firmly told Kensuke while roughly grabbing the camera with her hand and forcibly removing it from her personal space.
"Yeah, come to think of it, I'm wondering how we're allowed to come here when it's not even open to the public yet? Not that I'm thankful for the invitation guys," Toji said to the Ikari family who were the ones that invited them in the first place.
"Well, all thanks go to Mr Kaji. He's..err friends with some people who work here," Shinji informed his friend.
Shinji remembered when a few days ago that Aki along with PenPen was watching a documentary on sea life which got the little girl excited and wishing to see some of the fishies. To everyone's surprise, Kaji asked if they indeed wanted to see some. The supposedly old spy had some friends or connections to the place which Shinji even asked the man about. Kaji's response was simply, 'if I told you then I would have to make you disappear', with a wink and Shinji ultimately decided to not inquire more.
"He did tell us that there were a few conditions though," Shinji said remembering what was told beforehand.
"Wait, what conditions?" Toji asked his friend somewhat fearing what those conditions could be.
"Well, first he told us that Aki is not to cause trouble at the facility since he's well aware of how destructive err…adventurous she can be when she's overexcited and hyper." Shinji sighed, the incidents when Aki wandered around NERV HQ and her destructive rampage on the Katsuragi apartment when on a sugar/caffeine high was the solid reason why Kaji firmly told them to keep Aki on a supervised leash.
"Err..ok and what's the other condition then?" Toji asked.
"The other thing is that at the end of this, we have to..fill out a survey. It's for when they do officially start letting actual visitors come in," Shinji sheepishly let out, somewhat knowing that his friend wouldn't like that part and judging by the look on Toji's face he was right.
"Wait what!? Dude, I thought this was going to be a great day out and you drop the bomb on me that we have to do some stupid survey," Toji complained about not liking the idea of filling out a long survey. "Man, this is feeling like a boring school field trip already."
"Toji! You're being rude," Hikari chastised her boyfriend. "We get a free tour around this place courtesy of Mr Kaji and our friends, so filling out a simple survey is the least we can do."
"Ah, man," Toji whined out knowing his girlfriend was right.
Before the teen jock could complain any further, a blonde long haired female with glasses and a white lab coat, who worked here finally came out to greet the group.
"Hello everyone and welcome to our facility which is Japan's top Marine Ecosystem Preservation Research Organisation. I'm Chisato Ushio, a head researcher here and you are the kids that Mr Kaji told us about, right?" the female scientist asked.
Shinji being somewhat the group's leader went up to the older woman. "Yeah, that's us and thank you for having us, Miss Ushio," Shinji replied as he did a formal bow to the woman, still somewhat wondering how Kaji is connected to this place.
"Oh it's fine Mr Ikari, and if I'm reading this right there are eight of you, right? Six teenagers, one child and a…err a penguin?" Miss Ushio finished reading the guest list with the last one confusing her. She took a moment to look at the group and her eyes were not deceiving her that, yes, there was a penguin among them.
"Wark!" PenPen let out while lifting his claw to acknowledge his presence to the woman.
"Err…ok moving on then. We're very happy and excited that you came here at this aquarium facility and very thankful for you lot being one of the many groups to come to our facility. While we are planning to open to the public in a few months, it's still nice for feedback from kids of your age group."
"Wait, so we're not the only visitors here?" Hikari asked even looking around to see if there was anyone else besides them.
"That's correct. A few groups who came earlier are already inside," Miss Ushio explained before reaching into her coat pockets and pulling out a remote which she pressed and the doors to the main entrance opened slowly. "Now before we enter the main facility we need you kids to go through a very short decontamination cycle," Miss Ushio said while giving the kids a strange smile.
The group looked at the woman in confusion. "Decontamination cycle?" Shinji, Asuka, Toji, Kensuke and Hikari all said together in confusion while Aki, while confused herself was mumbling the very difficult word of the day.
x-x-x-x-x
"OH GOD FINALLY!" Asuka and Toji shouted out in a mix of relief and anger as the group's ordeal finally came to an end as the metal doors to the next area opened up.
The so-called decontamination cycle the kids had to go through comprised of first taking photo headshot, which made most of the gang feel like a criminals going through police processing to the next part having to strip down to their undergarments for the worst part, to which they had to endure being sprayed and submerged in many kinds of disinfectant liquid both hot and cold at least three times in different stages before being dried off or more accurately blown with by giant wind fans in different directions of the room.
The entire process was fifteenth minutes long but for everyone present, it felt an eternity, so when the kids were finally at the end and given back their clothing to wear they were happy that the doors opened up to the main facility.
"Dude, I feel both clean and very violated at the same time. Is that normal?" Toji wondered out loud while hugging himself as he shivered.
"Is this going to be part of the facility when it officially opens?" Hikari wondered she fell to her knees on the floor, already afraid of the idea of bringing her family to this place when it opened if it would still have this decontamination cycle.
"I don't understand why we have to go through a decontamination thing anyway. I mean it's just fish and ones that are inside tanks..right?" Kensuke added in, questioning the logic behind this as he leaned on the wall and slowly dropped to the floor too.
"For once I agree with you, Aida," Asuka said as she focused on her little girl who was strangely silent upon coming out, still held by her hand by Rei who throughout the process didn't even flinch. She walking over along with Shinji, who shared the same worry that the decontamination cycle might have been a scary experience for the four-year-old. Kneeling to the child's level they saw that Aki was wide-eyed, unblinking and that her hair was wilder than ever.
"Ohh Schätzchen, are you ok?" Asuka asked her daughter and getting more worried when Aki didn't respond.
"Aki, honey, are you ok?" Shinji, too, asked his daughter and like his wife was getting worried about Aki's lack of response.
A second later Aki finally responded by blinking a few times and looking at her parents before her smile widened. "THAT WAS WICKED!" Aki cried out in excitement as she jumped up and down. "Let's do that again!"
Aki's excited cry was shortly followed by the horrified Toji, Hikari and Kensuke. "NOOO!" the three friends cried out, not wanting to go through that again.
Before Aki could ask why not, the main doors to the facility opened up diverting everyone's attention to the huge place filled with different marine life and all shapes and sizes.
While everyone present was amazed at such a sight, Aki however couldn't contain her excitement upon seeing everything.
"LOOK AT ALL THE FISHIES!" Aki cried out, breaking out of Rei's hand grip and speeding off towards the nearest fish tank and seeing the strange and exotic sea creatures before her.
Besides chuckling at the child's excitement, everyone was also in awe at seeing such marine life.
"Wow, so all these creatures lived in the oceans before Second Impact?" Hikari voiced out. From what she could recall from TV shows, the internet and books she read in the past that many of these marine wildlife habitats became endangered when Second Impact happened.
"Second Impact that was caused by.." Kensuke tried to voice his conspiracy theories, but was quickly cut off.
"Not now Kensuke!" Asuka, Shinji, Toji and Hikari voiced in sync, obviously not in the mood for Kensuke's conspiracies today. His response was to pout. When was he ever going to have a huge discussion about SEELE?
"Mama, Papa, Rei, look look at the fishies!" Aki cheerfully called out to them and once the three walked over to the girl they saw Aki was face pressing to the glass tanks around the room looking at some of the fish inside.
"Wow, I've never seen any of these fishies before!" Aki said as she saw a bunch of creatures that had shells on their backs.
"Well Aki, they're called sea turtles and they're not fish but reptiles," Shinji told his daughter, trying slightly educate her that not all creatures in here are fish. And as he anticipated he saw Aki turn back to him in mild shock.
"Wha! Really!? I thought everything here was going to be fishies?" Aki said in confusion, her little young mind not knowing such a fact.
"Not all creatures here are aquatic. Many mammals and reptiles can swim in the ocean, Aki," Rei told her little friend, for once not remaining silent.
"Wow, I can't wait to tell everyone at kindergarten about this." Aki quickly got over such detail and continued to look around seeing more strange and unusual sea life on display.
"Hey, what's this?" Aki voiced out seeing a creature that had eight long arms.
"Yo, it's an actual octopus." Toji came behind Aki and saw the eight-tentacled animal himself.
"Octopo?" Aki tried to say the name right. "Are they a fish or are they something else?"
"Well an octopus is…err…there are…" Toji tried to answer for Aki, but didn't know what exactly an octopus was himself.
"Octopus are cephalopods, a type of invertebrate," Kensuke explained, standing right next to them.
"Dude, how did you know that? Are you secretly a fan of fish too?" Toji looked at his friend.
"No, the information on the creatures here can be seen by pressing this button. See?" Kensuke told his friend and he pressed a button on the site of the tank which brought out a holographic display on the glass showing the information on the octopus in the said tank. The gang seeing this we're amazed by such advanced technology for such a place as an aquarium.
"Ok first a highly advanced decontamination room and now holographic display features on fish tanks? I'm starting to think this place is way too advanced and well-funded?" Asuka questioned.
"Again it makes me wonder how Kaji is connected to all this?" Shinji said also wondering again about this place and its connection to their resident spy.
Their questions were going to have to wait as they heard Aki gasp and the group saw the little girl and Rei further down. Catching up to them the gang saw what got Aki's attention was some sort of strange worm-like creature poking out of the ground.
"What the heck are these things?" Toji said, not having seen these things before. Even as he tapped the glass with his finger the creatures in the tank quickly retreated into the ground, an adaption that startled him slightly. Hikari not knowing herself press the button to display the holographic information.
"Well, it's said here that these are spotted garden eel which is a heteroconger belonging to the family of Congridae, whatever that is," Hikari finished reading the description.
"Hey, they're coming back out," Aki chimed in as she saw the eels in the tank slowly starting to come out from the ground. After having been spooked by Toji tapping before however, they didn't come out fully upon seeing the humans still near them. Aki thought for a second before backing away slightly from the glass, raising her arms about her head and starting to move her body weirdly.
Seeing this strange action from their daughter, Asuka and Shinji looked at each other before the redheaded mother decided to ask. "Err Schätzchen what exactly are you doing?"
"I'm now a spotted eel, Mama, so that the eels will not be afraid," Aki explained as she continued her spotted eel impression. Her parents started to chuckle at the display, with Toji, Hikari, and Kensuke joining in after with Rei showing a smile.
After waiting for Aki to finish bringing out the spotted eels, which proved to be longer than expected (prompting Aki to force everyone present to mimic her eel impression which after such an embarrassing act finally got the eels out of hiding), they were able to move on, when once again something caught Aki's eye.
"Ooh what are these, they look like little tiny horses!" Aki said with wonder and excitement as she got to the tank.
"Ooh, it's seahorses," Hikari said as she smiled upon seeing the creatures herself.
"Seahorses? So horsies can swim too?" Aki questioned.
"No honey, seashores are different from regular horses. They just share similar names because of how they look," Shinji explained to his daughter as she went to press the button showing the information. "Look, it saids here that seahorses are in fact fish."
"Ooh..ok!" Aki quickly got over such a fact and moved on before everyone else, Rei following close behind.
"Hey here's an interesting fact. It saids here that the male seahorse is the one that carries the eggs. At least one male species on this planet doesn't mind doing the hard part of reproduction," Asuka said while giving the males of their group a stink eye. Shinji at least gave an apologetic look, remembering how the pregnancy put a strain on Asuka physically.
"Wait Asuka, was being pregnant so hard?" Hikari whispered to her friend as everyone was moving along again.
"Let me just say, Hikari, that being pregnant for months isn't great by any means especially when you have to deal with mood swings, weight gain, physical cramps, pains, sleepless nights and cravings that make you want to eat things you never even consider putting in your mouth plus the fact that none of my good clothes would fit anymore. Also, I and Shinji got really lucky that I didn't miscarriage because of my age at the time," Asuka bluntly explained to her friend.
She didn't want to explain this to her friend but there was part of her wanting to make sure that Hikari knew of the repercussions of getting pregnant, especially if she decided to go all the way with Toji before they were truly ready. A thought that Asuka didn't want to imagine otherwise she would start gagging.
"Re..really? Is it all that bad?" Hikari asked somewhat looking disappointed maybe her initially having the belief that pregnancy was a wonderful thing.
"Oh, don't get me wrong it was a pain most of the time and I certainly do without most of the things I mentioned. But through all that, it gave me the best thing in the world to me," Asuka said as she fondly watched her daughter running around looking at different tanks from afar. "And maybe in the future if I and Shinji decide on having another child, I would go through it all again without hesitation," Asuka finished saying to her friend.
"Oh wow, Asuka," Hikari said in awe of her friend and remembered that Asuka was mentally older and more mature than she looked. "So I guess being pregnant is worth it then after all."
"Hey, just because I told you all this doesn't mean you can start doing.. stuff with monkey boy." Asuka said in clear disgust with Hikari soon blushing at many thoughts of "that" with Toji. "Also don't give him any ideas or he might exhibit himself again," Asuka finished saying, remembering her first meeting with the jock as she walked ahead to catch up.
"O..ok." Hikari shyly said, still daydreaming of those kinds of thoughts of her and Toji before her brain finally registered the last thing Asuka said. "Hey…Hey Asuka! What do you mean exhibit it again!?"
x-x-x-x-x
While everyone was enjoying themselves, especially Aki, Rei's mind had been somewhat distracted. Upon arriving here and entering the facility she felt a strange sense of familiarity and it took her a moment to realise why.
This place reminded her of her birthplace or more accurately the place where she was created, the dummy plug plant. A place where she routinely place herself in a tank of LCL where she would have her brain, her mind and soul copied and store away like a backup in case she would die allowing Gendo Ikari to create a new Rei to replace the previous one.
So as she stared at a fish tank before her, she blinked and gasped in horror at what she saw. She was once again back in the dummy plug plant, facing the LCL tank but the tank was not the same orange colour but of crimson red, filled with blood, blood that came from the decaying and broken flesh of the soulless copies of herself.
Just as Rei backed away slowly from the glass, she heard it and it made her freeze. The sound was giggling, giggling that she knew came from the soulless clones in the tank and as Rei looked closer she saw that from the back of the tank were near endless copies of herself moving towards the tank glass. The giggling they made was deafening the room and once the horde of decaying Reis reached the glass, it cracked under the weight and pressure of the many Rei clones that collided on it, the blood began to spill between the cracks and in mere moments the glass would break and Rei wanted to run but she couldn't move, she was afraid.
"Rei." A voice called out
"Rei." The voice called out again but much louder.
"Rei!" The voice shouted out and Rei knew that voice, it was her friend Aki and as soon as she realised that she was once again back at the aquarium facility still facing the fish tank but now she noticed her little friend was beside her, grabbing her skirt in both of hers and was worried about her.
"Rei, are you ok?" Aki asked her friend, worried about her as Rei was just staring into the tank and was shaking before she got to her.
"…yes…yes, I'm fine," Rei tried to sound reassuring to her friend but her voice shook with a bit of uncertainty to it.
"Are you sure?" Aki asked again somewhat knowing that something was bothering her friend. "You look sad."
Rei didn't say anything for a moment, contemplating whether or not to say anything to her young friend but the choice was made when Aki grabbed her hand to comfort her.
"It's just that this place reminds me of where I was..born and what I will always be," Rei explained to her friend, making it very vague enough to not tell Aki the whole truth.
Aki didn't say anything for a second, obviously confused at Rei's answer. "Wait…you were a fishy?" came the four-year-old's reply.
Rei looked down at her friend, giving the little girl a confused blinking stare for a moment before she did something even she didn't expect from herself, she smiled which evolved next into a light chuckle.
"Rei?" Aki was again confused by Rei's sudden change in mood and chuckling.
"It's nothing, come." Rei held firmly to Aki's hand as they move along.
Unknown to the two, Shinji had been watching them from a slight distance and overheard Rei's short conversation. He felt guilty having brought her along, not realising that such a place would remind her of her "birth" place but luckily Aki had given Rei the comfort she needed.
He felt a tap on his shoulder and turned to see that it was Asuka. "Hey, is everything alright?" Asuka asked, probably seeing that something was bothering her Baka.
Shinji shook his head. "Nah, everything's ok. Aki took care of it without knowing to,"Shinji explained as he gestured towards Aki and Rei who were moving along.
"Ah, I see." Asuka smiled as she leaned her head on Shinji's shoulder, already figuring out what Aki had done. "She is just like you, having this connection with Rei."
Shinji nodded in agreement. "Yeah, but back then I couldn't get much more than awkward conversations with her. Aki managed to do more because she is bold and brave just like you."
Asuka blushed slightly at that. Well, two could play this game. "Well, she has your kindness and compassion," Asuka fired her compliments and it worked, given that Shinji was now slightly blushing too.
Asuka lifted her head off Shinji's shoulder, now looking at him and with him looking at her too, they started moving in for a kiss.
"Yo Married couple! Either get a room or hurry up, you're falling behind!" Toji's voice echoed throughout the hallway which caused the two lovers to blush more in embarrassment.
"Damn that monkey boy, ruining the moment," Asuka grumbled.
"Mama, Papa! Come quick, come quick!" Aki called out to her parents. Something had gotten her attention on the next area.
Upon reaching the next area Asuka and Shinji saw a large group of familiar-looking birds.
"PenPen! Look it's a lot of you!" Aki called out to their penguin. The said penguin now walked over to the glass exhibit separating the group from a large number of penguins.
Just as PenPen got to the glass, his presence was noticed by the other penguins, who one after the other stopped and stared at the unfamiliar penguin. For a moment neither PenPen nor the other penguins did anything till finally, PenPen took what looked like a deep breath.
"WARK!" PenPen cried out startling everyone, humans and penguins alike.
"Wark, wark, wark, wark, wark, wark, wark!" PenPen continued to voice out as he also started moving back and forth along the glass. The penguins all followed his every move as well as listening to whatever he was saying.
"Wark, wark, wark, wark, wark, wark, WARK, WARK, WAAARRRKK!" PenPen finally finished saying…whatever he was saying, even doing standing attention with his head held high.
For a moment all the other penguins simply blinked and even looked at each other before surprisingly they started squeaking loudly as if they were cheering at what PenPen just said to them.
The humans on the other hand were just confused about what exactly just happened.
"Err…can somebody tell me what the heck just happened?" Toji asked out loud, hoping anyone will shed some light on this.
"I'm not a hundred per cent sure but I think PenPen might have just become their king," Kensuke said and every looking back at the scene and it did kinda seem like it.
"Yeah! King PenPen!" Aki cheered, happy for her penguin friend, even hugging the penguin much to his irritation.
x-x-x-x-x-x
After a few more hours of going through different sections of the facility and seeing even more marine life creatures, especially larger ones like dolphins, sharks, whales, etc the gang had already seen everything the place had to offer. Aki, however, wanted to see all the creatures again but she was denied due to not only was everyone tired from the walking but the fact that it was lunchtime.
So the group eventually found the rest area where they encountered other visitors. The place looked like it was going to have a few gift shops, restaurants and sitting area for people and a view of the ocean bay outside. Unfortunately, none of the first two was officially open yet as they were still under construction.
After having finished eating the gang now had to do the gruelling task of filling out the survey for this place.
"Ah man this sucks, couldn't they have just given us this as an attachment to an email for us to do this later?" Toji grumbled as he filled out another survey page.
"Possibly, though I think they anticipated that people would just don't want to fill it in so they make us do it now," Kensuke said.
"They must want the tourism if they making us fill in all these questionnaires then," Hikari added in as she diligently kept writing and going through each question on the page.
"Well glad that they at least had the decency to give Aki a kid-friendly survey instead of the one we got," Shinji said as he took a moment to glance at his daughter doing a much easier and tinier questionnaire survey with the help of Rei (who was of course already done with hers) which had fewer written answers and a lot more rate your experience from numbers one to ten with the first being the lowest and the latter being the highest.
"And I liked all the fishies including the ones that weren't fishies too," Aki happily dictated her answer to Rei.
"Just to be clear, we're all agreeing to write down that the worst thing this place has was that decontamination cycle and that it's completely pointless for this place." Asuka voiced out to everyone with everyone nodding firmly in agreement, minus Aki and Rei.
"Also I didn't like that I could touch or swim along with the fishies." Aki continued saying as Rei diligently wrote it down.
Out of nowhere, an alarm sounded and echoed throughout the entire facility, startling everyone.
"Wha..what going on!?" Shinji cried out. Fortunately, he got his answer when the head researcher Chisato Ushio burst into the rest area, somewhat relieved that everyone from each group is present in one place.
"Ok everyone I want everyone to not be alarmed! We're just experiencing some…er…technical difficulties, so just remain calm and stay here till I sort out what the situation is!" Miss Ushio told the visitors before running out of the area and even surprisingly shut and locked the behind her.
"Did she just leave us locked in here!?" Hikari said in disbelief.
Before anyone could comment another alarm with a voice message rang throughout the place.
"WARNING, WARNING, CODE 19: ASSETS OUT OF CONTAINMENT. WARNING, WARNING, CODE 19: ASSETS OUT OF CONTAINMENT."
"Assets out of containment?" Shinji wondered and before anyone could comment there was a loud bang on the entrance door, which kept repeating.
"What is that!? Kensuke asked worryingly but no one answered though Shinji, Asuka and Rei stepped in front of Aki just in case.
The banging on the door suddenly stopped and for a moment nothing happened till the door flung open and to everyone's amazement it was a horde of penguins that either rushed or they skidded in on their bellies.
"Wait…the penguins?" Toji said in confusion as the small birds rushed past the group. He had been expecting something more dangerous coming through those doors.
"So it was these little guys that are causing all the fuss?" Hikari wondered as she slightly jumped when a baby penguin went under and through her long skirt.
"Hehe look that one's trying to eat a banana whole." Aki laughed at one of the said penguins that was struggling to eat a peeled banana whole, as well as enjoying the situation going on around them.
"WARK!" A familiar sound echoed to the group and they saw that PenPen was at the far end of the room and pushed the emergency exit door that lead to the outside world. He gestured to his brethren to move out and they all quickly followed suit. Once all of them were outside, PenPen shut the emergency exit door, just in time as two security guards of this facility came rushing into the room, both looking like they'd been through the wringer.
"STOP THOSE PENGUINS!" one of the guards shouted but before they had the charge forward, they had stepped on and slipped on a banana peel that was on the floor and tripped comically while also accidentally making his partner trip.
While the guards were trying to pick themselves up, the gang and all the other visitors went to the open window just in time to see all the escaped penguins start diving off the water shore.
Everyone could only stare in shock at what just happened. The whole facility's entire penguin exhibit just managed to escape with little resistance. The gang however all looked at their resident penguin who had joined them in looking at his brethren being freed.
Shinji kneeled to PenPen's level, making sure the penguin was now focusing on him. "PenPen…did you do all this?" Shinji asked his feathered friend, almost afraid to do so. Sure, he was aware that PenPen was more intelligent than any animal he knew, but to cripple this place's entire security and organise a prison escape for his penguin friends, pack or subjects? It just wasn't possible right!?
PenPen's only response to Shinji's question was giving him a wink and nothing else.
Shinji wasn't the only one who saw that wink from the penguin, Asuka saw it too and giving Shinji a look, they silently agreed that it was now time to get out of here before both the staff and security realised that their little bird friend had caused all this trouble.
End.
Note:
For those wondering this chapter is a nod to the actual aquarium scene in the rebuild 2.0 movie, which is one of the few good things that came out of those movies.
Also the idea of PenPen becoming the king/alpha of the penguins in the aquarium is kinda based on the film Rise of the Planet of the Apes with a touch of Mission Impossible to explain how PenPen had managed to cripple a research facility security systems and staff lol.
