Chapter two-The Air Elemental

"Wake up, Baka!" Asuka's voice screamed through Shinji's door.

Jerking awake from a weird dream he was having about two old, homeless couple, he opened his eyes.

'Dear, Lord,' he thought with horror when he couldn't open his right eye. 'I'm blind!'

Jumping out of bed, he ran too the door and flung it open just as Asuka was pounding on it again, making her hit him in the face several times before she stopped. Shinji fell on his back in a daze while Asuka stood there looking down at him. Misato who exited her room just as Shinji went down walked into the kitchen and brought out the much-used ice pack for Shinji.

Misato placed the ice pack on his forehead but it was quickly knocked off when Shinji sat up.

"Misato! I'm blind! I can't see out of my right eye! What happened? Was there another angel? Did Unit-01 go berserk again? Is that why I can't remember anything at all?" He said this in quick succession and was promptly hit hard by Asuka again, which knocked him out cold. Misato stood up and glared at the young teen.

"What? He wouldn't shut the hell up." She said innocently. Misato just sighed heavily and walked back into the kitchen for her early morning beer.

-o0O(-)O0o-

Shinji awoke sometime later to find himself on the couch. He sat up and the first thing that he felt was anger towards Asuka.

'That bitch! She knocked me out for no good reason!'

He stopped thinking right there wondering two things. One- where in hell did this anger come from and Two- did someone leave a window open because he could feel a little bit of a draft.

Looking around he confirmed that his second question's answer was no. He looked at the VCR clock and found that it was 9:45 a.m. 'SHIT!' he thought. 'School!'

Running around the small apartment he quickly showered, dressed, and through two lunches together for himself and Asuka. Rushing out of the house in 20 minutes he bolted to school.

As he was running he noticed that it rained earlier that morning and that he was heading straight into a huge puddle of muddy water. Going to fast to stop in time he braced himself for the wet feeling in his socks and shoes, but after three minutes he noticed that it never came. Thanking god for his fortune he continues on too school failing to notice that his security squad never moved from the puddle site.

Slowly one agent stepped out from an alleyway and made his way to the puddle. Looking up at the other agents who also came to the puddle he slowly raised his foot and held it above the water. They all held their breath as he lowered it on too the surface and tried to take a step. They all released their held air when his foot fell in.

Stepping back while shaking it off, the agent pulled out a cell phone and dialed a number. After ringing five times it was answered.

"Major Katsuragi speaking."

"Major we have something to show you on the security cameras once they're developed."

"Is it important towards the Angels or is it a danger towards the children?"

"Unknown ma'am."

"Then why don't you try explaining what you saw to me?"

"The Third Child just ran on water."

"…WHAT!"

-o0O()O0o-

Shinji was just about to walk into the classroom when it opened revealing people coming out with lunches. He stood off to the side, and when everyone passed him he entered and walked up to Asuka who was still talking with Hikari. Without letting her know that he was there he pulled out her lunch and dropped it on her desk.

Asuka and Hikari both jumped when they heard the lunch hit the desk with a resounding thud and looked up. What they saw was one set of stooges making their way out of the classroom.

"Did Ikari just…"

"Yeah he did."

"Aren't you going…"

"Too shocked, I think he fried my brain."

-o0O()O0o-

"Holy shit man!" Kensuke exclaimed to Shinji as he checked his camera to make sure he got that down. Shinji was calmly eating his lunch while Toji was watching him with a look that said he was a god.

"What?" he asked. "She did knock me out earlier this morning."

"Ahhh so that was why you were late. And here we thought that you were messing around with Misato…such a shame." Kensuke shook his head in disappointment.

"Ummm, you do realize that she's twice your age, drinks like there's no tomorrow, can only cook to kill someone, and sucks at any type of manual labor, right?"

The first and second stooges never heard any of this because they were daydreaming of them and Misato together. Shinji just shook his head and looked down onto the basketball courts. There he saw two old people waving at him too join them. Backing away he made up a quick excuse about leaving and ran down the stairs.

As he was running he thought as to why he felt such an urge to talk with the two old people. Not thinking of any good reason he was about to stop when the urge intensified. Shrugging he decided to humor himself and ran to the courts.

"Ah, and how are we feeling today Mr. Ikari?"

Shinji fell down when he heard the voice right behind his ear. Shaking his head he stood up a brushed himself off before looking up.

"Who are you and how do you know me?" he asked.

The old man shook his head and spoke to his wife. "After sixteen thousand six hundred eight years you think that we would improve the transfer to where they did not loose their short term memories, Mother." The old woman nodded in agreement to his statement.

"Wait, what is this "transfer" that you're talking about?" Shinji asked while staring from one to another.

The old woman walked in front of him and placed a hand on Shinji's cheek caressing it. He subconsciously leaned into it think that this must be how it feels when a mother does it. All of a sudden he stumbled back from the flash in his mind and the amount of memories that assaulted him.

Falling to his knees he grabbed his head in pain and clenched his eyes shut. As soon as they barrage started it stopped, and he slowly was able to stand up.

"What…the…fuck…was that?" he asked gasping for breath. He was still shaking but managed to stay on his feet.

The old woman looked apologetic when she replied. "I'm sorry, normally we would teach you over the course of several years but we didn't have hat kind of time. What you just received was anything that you will need for the fights that are to come. Don't bother trying to search fro anything in there because it's all in your subconscious now."

Shinji just stared at the two and looked at them like they were crazy. The man chuckled when he saw how Shinji was looking at them.

"Trust me I would think we were crazy if I were in your shoes as well kid." He dropped the amused face and took on a more serious one. " Just a word of advise, try and keep your emotions in check, we don't want any tornados or something else around now do we?"

After Shinji shook his head no with a bewildered look on his face the couple began to walk away. Stopping at the gates of the school, the old woman looked back at Shinji with a small smile. "Good luck Air Elemental for you will need it." And with that the two disappeared.

-o0O()O0o-

A/N: So there it is Shinji finds out about his powers, and as a test he'll get in a fight next chapter, not intentionally of coarse. Also in the Next Chapter, Asuka runs into the couple thus becoming the second elemental. Thanks to my first two reviewers. Anyways I'm sorry that it's a little boring at first but I have to introduce the Four elemental before any action. Asuka will have a chapter about her and her "discovery" while Rei and the fourth will share one. So in about two more chapters expect more action and adventure.

"Later people."
