REI UNLEASHED
Chapter 2

Disclaimer: Own nothing more than the fate of the characters.
Summary: Rei has legally taken over NERV and gotten Gendo removed from power. Now she is poised to make so many changes and claim Shinji as her own.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Word had spread rather quickly through NERV about the Commander's death, and the fact that Rei was now the new commander of the Anti-Angel agency.
And naturally, Asuka was upset about this.
"WE MEAN WE GOTTA TAKE ORDERS FROM WONDERGIRL!"
"I'm afraid so." Dr Akagi said.
"But... how? I mean.. When did... where's Commander Ikari?"
"Dead and buried, last I heard. Something about peanuts and allergies."
"He was allergic to peanuts?" she gasped in disbelief.
"Yeah."
"That's just... so... ARGH! I can't take this!" she groaned as she held her head.
"Maybe it won't be so bad, Asuka." Shinji said.
"Oh, you would say that, baka! You just love the idea of having Wondergirl give you orders!" she said to the boy, practically poking him in the chest.
"Well... she might be better than my father." he commented.
At that, Asuka begrudgingly had to agree. Still...
"I still can't believe this! Bureaucratic Bull! I mean, why would the Commander put Wondergirl in charge?"
"That's Commander Wondergirl now, Pilot Sohryu." the blue-haired girl said as she arrived on the bridge. Instead of her usual school uniform, the blue-haired girl was dressed in a dark blue uniform that was a little like an actual military uniform.
"Did Rei just make a joke?" Shinji muttered under his breath.
"No... freaking... way." she mumbled under her breath.
"I am afraid that Gendo Ikari's provisions in the event of his death are unbreakable." the aged sub-commander Fuyutsuki said as he appeared next to Rei.
Damn lawyers. Damn Gendo. Damn commanders favorite. Asuka mentally huffed.
"As of right now, I am issuing a series of special orders." Rei said. "First and foremost, Pilot Sohryu is to report to Tokyo-2 to attend a special press conference on behalf of NERV."
"Press conference?" the redhead gasped.
"I have chosen you to be NERV's new spokeswoman and poster girl, as you have no aversion to speaking your mind, will present the necessary sex appeal, and the fact that you are an Evangelion pilot makes you the logical choice."
"Poster girl? Sex appeal?" she huffed, as if offended.
"Am I wrong in assuming that you are not attractive enough to be considered for this task?" she said, staring impassively at the confused redhead.
"HELL YEAH YOU'RE WRONG! No way you're going to find anyone in NERV with my grace and beauty!" she shouted as she flipped her hair over her shoulder, obviously outraged that her looks were being challenged.
And ego. Misato mentally groaned, noticing a couple angry stares from Ritsuko and Maya at her comment of being the only one with grace and beauty in NERV. If there was one thing that Misato had learned about Asuka, her looks could be used against her if anything.
Of course it did make manipulating her that easy.
"Hell, I'm poster girl material..." Asuka declared.
For the psychotic and aggressive. Ritsuko thought.
"...but why exactly should I agree to do this?" she asked.
"For a two week, all expenses paid luxury trip to Okinawa when you are finished... with Mr Ryoji as your diligent chaperon." Rei stated.
Everyone could feel Asuka's energy spike at that, as if she had her own Eva-like AT-Field.
"YES, COMMANDER!" the redheaded German enthusiastically shouted, saluting the blue-haired young woman.
Oh, yes. Rei definitely knows how to work it. Misato grinned, imagining just how uncomfortable this was going to make Kaji. And it would get him away from NERV, and her.
"Second order of business: I have taken the liberty of having all NERV employee's bills, debts and monthly expenses paid in full. Therefore no NERV employee will have to pay their own bills out of their own pocket this month." Rei said.
The cheering that came from that was felt throughout the Geofront.
"Of course you will be on your own the next month and so forth."
Everyone considered that fair.
"Third order of business: all NERV employee's are to go on mandatory two weeks paid vacation beginning of next month. This is primarily a shameless attempt at keeping all personnel happy, as I do not need overworked, underappreciated, and potentially mutinous employees serving under me."
It may have been a straightforward scheme, but no one was going to argue with that. Except...
"Commander? What if an Angel attacks in that time?" Misato asked, raising her hand.
"Which brings me to the fourth order of business. NERV's primary mission is to prevent a Third Impact from the attacks of The Angels. To ensure this does not happen, a skeleton crew will work in strict shifts during the two weeks paid vacation time, and at least one Evangelion pilot will be on constant standby. The most logical choice for this..." she said, turning attention to Shinji. "... will be Pilot Ikari."
All things considered, everyone in NERV had to admit that Shinji was the best choice. He never wanted to go anywhere, and his record against the Angels was unmatched by even the Second Child.
"Understood, commander." Shinji immediately agreed.
"Why is Shinji the logical choice?" Asuka asked.
"Because he has not expressed any interest or desire to go on any form of leave since his arrival to Tokyo-3. Pilot Sohryu, on the other hand, has requested frequent furloughs. Therefore, as I do not want NERV's two best pilots unhappy, as it will undoubtably diminish their synch ratio, I have chosen to grant their requests." Rei said, speaking in general to everyone.
Oh, she's good. Really good. Ritsuko thought.
Again, Asuka couldn't argue with that. Mostly because she and Shinji were NERV's two best pilots, and being kept happy was fine with her. Although it did make her seem as if all she wanted to do was party and relax instead of work and pilot. Still, for a two week vacation, alone with Kaji, she could overlook that potential insult.
"To accommodate your standby status during this mandatory vacation time, Pilot Ikari, you will be relocated to the Geofront, to an apartment near the Eva cages." Rei said.
"Yes, commander." he replied.
"The final order of business is that the remnants of the JetAlone Project have been transferred to NERV and will be placed under Dr Akagi's supervision and discretion. She, and she alone, will have complete authority over the JA robot and it's weapons."
Alright! New toys to play with. The blond woman grinned.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
A knock on the office doors caught Rei's attention.
"Come in." she said in a firm voice.
The large doors opened up and in walked the pilot of Unit 01.
"You... wanted to see me, commander?" Shinji asked.
"Please, step forward, Pilot Ikari." Rei said as she stood up and walked around to stand in front of the desk.
Shinji stepped forward until he was standing in front of her. Not one to initiate conversation, Rei was the one who did.
"Do you know why you are here, Pilot?"
"Uh, no, sir. Uh, ma'am." he quickly corrected himself.
"Do you remember when you touched me?"
Shinji paled. Was he in trouble? He considered that since Rei was now the commander of NERV and he had wondered if she bore any repercussions from that accidental meeting. He was indeed worried where this was going. Still, he was honest if anything.
"Yes, commander."
"Did you... enjoy it?" she asked.
That kinda caught him off guard.
"What?"
"Did you enjoy touching me?" she repeated.
"Uh..."
"I expect an honest answer, Pilot Ikari."
Shinji bowed his head as he answered. "I... yes."
"I see." she said, stepping closer. "Then would you like to do it again?"
"WHAT?" he gasped, nearly falling onto his butt.
"I think you do." she said as she unbuttoned her shirt.
"Ayanami...uh, Rei...Commander! What are you doing?" he asked as her shirt dropped to the floor.
"I believe the proper term is, 'trying to seduce you'." she said as she moved closer to him, clad in only her skirt and bra as she pounced on him.
"Commander! You shouldn't..."
"You will not tell me what I can and cannot do, PILOT!" she said forcefully.
Shinji froze at that as Rei leaned in close.
"I will tell you right now, I am interested in a relationship with you."
"What?"
"I wish us to become more than commander and pilot. More than mere friends."
"But... why me?"
"Because you have shown me more kindness and consideration than most. Because you are most worthy. And because I find you attractive."
"Commander..."
"Rei-chan."
"Rei...chan?"
"Lovers call each other as such!" she said as she tore his shirt open and lunged at his lips.
Shinji struggled wildly as he was violated by the commander.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Rei awoke from her daydream and shook her head.
No, Shinji-kun would not enjoy that. I am not like The Commander who would simply take whatever he wanted. But... I want Shinji. He is quite possibly, no, he is, the best choice by far. She thought as she looked around the office.
It was still large, dark and empty.
I must do something about this office. It is very... depressing.
She pressed the buzzer on her desk.
(Yes, Commander?) The voice said.
"Have Pilot Ikari report to my office, at once." Rei said.
(Yes, Commander)
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
13 Minutes later...
"Commander?" the shy boy asked as he peered inside the large office.
"Come in, Shinji." Rei said.
Shinji looked at her strangely. Had she just called him by name? Rei noticed his expression.
"Is something wrong, Shinji?"
"Uh... well, it's just... you never called me by my name before."
"I see. You object to this?"
"No! It's just... you never have."
"Be that as it may, it is what friends call each other."
"You and I are friends?"
Rei was starting to look a little displeased.
"You are the only person I know well enough to consider being called my friend."
"Oh. Really?"
"Yes. Do you object to being my friend?"
"Well, no...but..."
"I am the commander of NERV, correct?" she said, reading his intended question.
"Yes."
Rei decided that talking in circles wasn't going to work, so she decided to take the direct route she normally did.
"I am in a position to make many changes in NERV. I would like you to be one of those changes."
"Me?"
"A commander cannot function without people to serve under them, but a true commander needs trusted allies. In a sense, you are both."
"I see." he nodded.
"But I would like us to become friends as well. Perhaps... more."
"I'd... I'd like that Rei. Uh...Commander Ayanami." he corrected himself.
Rei smiled the same smile she gave him after the Fifth Angel battle.
"In the presence of others, a professional demeanor would be appropriate. In private, however, I would like for you to address me as Rei."
"Sure... Rei."
"Now that that has been established, I require your assistance on an important matter."
"My assistance?"
"Yes, Shinji." she said, linking arms with him. "I wish to redecorate my office. It is very... bleak."
Shinji was a little phased by Rei wrapping her arm around his, but forced himself to look at the dark office.
"Yes. It is." he answered her.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The Office of Ritsuko Akagi...
"Hmm. Reinforced Titanium with steel paneling. Special carbon rods to maintain the nuclear reactor. Multiple rocket launchers, special 100 MM cannons, even a laser gun. Special energy field, not as powerful as an AT-Field, but quite powerful. And of course a state-of-the-art computer system." Ritsuko practically drooled over the new tech she had been given.
Just then, a familiar presence tinged at the hairs on her neck. She turned around to see the semi-familiar figure of 'Ginza Rokubungi'.
"Something I can help you with, Ginza?" Ritsuko said cooly to the man.
He scowled.
"Enough of this insanity, Akagi! You know it's me!" the man growled.
"Me? Me who?" she said, feigning ignorance quite well.
"YOU KNOW DAMN WELL IT'S ME!" Ginza roared.
"If you don't calm down I'll call Section 2 to have you sedated and removed." Ritsuko said firmly.
"You're enjoying this, aren't you?"
"New toys to play with, a pay increase, vacation time. And of course I've got a date as soon as I get off work tonight." she stated.
"We'll see about that!" Ginza growled as he leaped at Ritsuko and wrapped his hands around her throat.
"ARGH! Let...Go...Of...ME!" Ritsuko gasped as her knee flew up and nailed him sharply in the groin.
"Ooooh." he whined wimpily as he released his hands from her throat.
"BASTARD!" she spat as she reeled back and punched the man hard in the face.
Ginza tumbled backwards and fell onto his backside, but slowly got back to his feet.
"You traitorous harlot! I'm going to..."
(Shot)
"Huh?" he gasped as he suddenly felt really weak, then keeled over.
Ritsuko looked over and saw two Section 2 Agents standing in the doorway of her office. One was holding a gun and she noticed a small dart imbedded in Ginza's back.
"Our apologizes for being late, Dr Akagi." the agent said as the pair grabbed Ginza's arms.
"Just don't let it happen again, agent." Ritsuko said as she rubbed her neck.
The agents hauled Ginza out of the office to receive his standard punishment for insubordination.
Ritsuko breathed a sigh of relief, and with some degree of satisfaction as he was hauled out. She was glad that Rei had arranged for new Section 2 personnel to take over. These ex-military types were a far better breed than the hired thugs Gendo kept around. She looked at the clock and smiled.
Three hours until I'm off. She thought as she examined the file of the young man she was going to meet tonight. At least Rei keeps her promises.
With that, Ritsuko continued her work.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
In an undisclosed location...
"Oooohhhhh." Ginza groaned as he awoke to find himself hoisted up by his arms, shackled by his wrists. His shirt had been removed, not his pants, and he was barefoot. "Where am I?"
"You have been a very bad boy, Ginza." a soft voice said.
"Huh?" he looked around and saw nothing. Until a figure stepped from the shadows. "Rei?"
"Section 2 has informed me of your assault on Dr Akagi. You were warned of what would happen if you tried to act up."
She grabbed a bucket of water from the shadows and splashed him with it. She set the bucket down as another man emerged from the shadows, holding a pair of muffled electrical cables.
(Remember the torture scene from Lethal Weapon 1?)
"Hit him, Endo." Rei said as the man jabbed the electrically charged cables into Ginza's half-naked body.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he screamed as he thrashed around.
"No, no, no, Endo." Rei said to the man. "Lower."
The man nodded and dropped the cables to his groin.
"MOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMYYYYYY!"
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Authors Notes:
Hope everyone enjoyed that. Rei working well as the new commander, even though she is basically manipulating the group, in a positive way of course, everyone in NERV happy, and Ginza frustrated and in pain. And Ritsuko kicking his butt as well.
Rei's plans to get Shinji are starting to manifest themselves. And the whole daydream scene was merely a what-if scenario her mind came up with.
Not totally sure just where I'm going with this story. I have a rough idea, but any suggestions would be welcomed.
Next chapter, things get much more fun, and Gendo tries to assert his control over Shinji to regain control of NERV. More hilarity, action, drama, and even some romance.
And as always, Read and Review please!
