Well here you go… Chapter 2…

It was during lunch at school and Asuka was really in a bad mood. She's usually in a bad mood, but this time she's mad. "I can't believe that Shinji and Misato ran off to who knows where without tell me ME!" yelled Asuka. "Especially you Shinji," thought Asuka. She has developed some feeling for the Third Child over the last few months. Some say that she has a crush; some say that she has issues while some, like Misato, says that she's in love in him.
"Calm down Asuka," Hikari said. "There must've been a good reason why they haven't told you."
"Like what?" No response. "That's right, not only am I pissed about them running off, I'm also pissed about not knowing on who the Fourth Child is! I mean Touji was supposed to him but-"
"Wait," interrupted the Class Rep. "Touji is the Fourth Chil-"
"I said 'was supposed'… When I checked with Kaji earlier today, I found out that Touji was replaced by someone for the jock being still traumatized of his sister being in the hospital."
Hikari released a sigh of relief when she heard that Touji Suzahara was no longer qualified to be a pilot of a eva for now… She has also developed a crush on one of the stooges (A.N: As you all know). "Yo, what about me?" asked the former Fourth as he stepped towards the talking girls with Kensuke behind him.
"Oh here's the 'former Fourth Child'," the red head mumbled.
"Hey!" yelled Touji. "H-how did you find out?"
"You were chosen to pilot an eva, Touji? When were you going to tell me this?" Kensuke asked.
"Yes he was chosen, and I have my resources… Idiot" said Asuka.
"Grr… anyways… where's Shinji?... No wait… YOU KILLED HIM!" yelled Touji, ignoring Kensuke's ongoing questions and Asuka's insult.
"SUZAHARA!" yelled Hikari.
"Sorry Class Rep," he whimpered back.
"Well… as the idiot of your group, I don't know where he went," said Asuka, sounding a bit hurt but able to disguise her feeling well enough to hide it form the stooges and her friend.
"Well maybe its Nerv business," suggested Kensuke.
"That's what it said in the letter that Misato gave me," she replied as she took out the letter from her bag.
Everyone leaned over to see on what it said.
Hey Asuka!
Sorry that this is last minute, but Shinji and I have some business at Nerv in another town to attend to. And I don't think that we'll be able to make it back until its passed midnight. Shinji made lunch for you and I left money in the counter for dinner. Today you have the privilege to either stay home or just go to school. Oh and make sure to bring your cell phone just incase. Well have fun now! See you in the morning or whenever we see you!
From Misato.
P.S. Ritsuko is coming with us, just to let you know
"T-That bastard gets a day off with MISATO?" yelled Touji and Kensuke at once.
"Are you guys stupid? That's what it said!" retorted Asuka.
"And he's going to be with another woman besides Misato? Oh man, that lucky bastard," said the jock. That earned him a hit in the back of the head by the 2 girls. "HEY WHAT WAS THAT FOR?"
"For being a pervert," said the red head and the class rep in unison.
"So? I can't help it to get jealous when my best friend is hanging out with 2 hot girls today!" Bam! Asuka's and Hikari's punch hit the back of the jock's head again.
"When will you learn Touji?" Kensuke sighed.
"Hey! Don't you agree with me though?"
"Well yes, but I'm not stupid enough to say it in front of the 2 most vicious girls in schoo-" Bam! Hikari and Asuka punched Kensuke in the back of the head. "HEY! WHAT DID I SAY?"
"You figure it out," said the girls in unison. The rest of the lunch period went on with Asuka and Hikari fighting Kensuke and Touji while Rei continued to look out at the window, and other classmates minded their own business.
Meanwhile.
"How are you feeling Shinji?" asked Ritsuko, over an open channel towards the Third Child, who's inside Unit 03 for the past 10 minute.
"I feel fine Dr. Akagi," Shinji replied.
"Well… everything looks normal enough," said Misato.
"Yes it does, but we need to test more to see if there's anything wrong with Unit 03…"
As Misato and Ritsuko were talking in the bridge, Shinji started to feel weird… as if he was inside a living thing… "Something doesn't feel right…" Shinji mumbled. Then a flash of light came in front of him. "What's going on?"
Alarms started to go off. "What's going on?" demanded the doctor.
"We don't know!... wait… Something's going on with Unit 03!" yelled one of the employees.
Unit 03 then, started to struggle to move, and as the back of the Unit 03 opened and revealed blue organic materials, Misato yelled, "An Angel?" Unit 03/Angel opened its mouth and everything when white.

Asuka is now inside her eva as was Rei. "Man, the idiot really chose a really great day to take a day off!" complained Asuka.
"It can't be helped… Major Katsuragi must've been given an important mission with Ikari-kun if they couldn't make it," replied Rei.
"But still… wait," stopped Asuka, as she noticed an eva figure starting to show on screen. "An eva? So then… the new Fourth Child killed the Angel?"
"No," replied Gendo over the com link. "That's your target."
"That's the Angel? But it's an eva…" said Asuka.
"It's been taken over by an Angel," said Gendo. "You're objective, terminate the 13th Angel."
"Yes, sir," replied Soryu as she took her position.
"Roger," said Rei as Unit 00 started to take aim on Unit 03 as it passed through her. Just when she was about to fire, Unit 03 disappeared in her screen and came on top of her Unit 00 and started to contaminate its left arm. "AAAAAAHHH!" screamed Rei.
"Unit 00's left arm is being contaminated!" yelled Maya.
"Severe it," ordered Gendo.
"But with the pilot is still syn-"
"I don't care. Cut. It. Off."
"Yes sir."
After Unit 00's arm was cut off, the Angel started to walk steadily towards its new target, Unit 02. "Alright… guess there's no helping it," said Asuka, as she readied her rifle and aimed it to her target.
The Angel, then, started to run fast towards the red eva in an enormous speed. Asuka released a barrage of bullets towards the Angel, but no avail, the bullets did nothing to the incoming enemy. "Scheiße!" cried Asuka as she moved out of the way before the Angel could knock her down. "Alright if that's the way you want to play," she said as she threw down her rifle and took out the prog knife. "Let's play!"
As the Angel charged again she charged at it. As the pilot tried to drive the knife into the Angel's head, the target jumped to the side and punched Unit 02's head, sending it towards the mountain. "Argh that hurt," complained the Second Child as she tried to get back up but was brought down as the Angel grabbed Unit 02's neck and tightened the grip. Asuka tried to struggle free but was no use, she even put her weapon through Unit 03's head but that still wasn't enough.
Back at the Geofront.
"Sir! We need to withdraw before we loose the pilot and the eva!" yelled Hyuga.
"The pilot's life is at critical range! She can't take much more of this!" yelled Maya.
"No, let this continue," said Gendo. "If worst comes to worst, we can use the Dummy Plug."
"But sir! Dr. Akagi hasn't approved of it yet!" Maya complained.
"It won't matter. Get ready to activate it if the pilot fails to accomplish her task."
"Yes sir…" she mumbled.

"Is this the end? Am I not strong enough? If so… No! It can't end here!" struggled Asuka's, what was supposed to be her last thought before the Angel's grip on her disappeared. "What?" as Asuka looked to see on what was happened, her eyes widened in surprise as was the people at NERV, including their Commander. Unit 03 was yelling in pain as it was griping its head.
The pilot was fighting the Angel from the inside. The only one who wasn't still in shock; the Commander, said, "Pilot Soryu, what are you waiting for? Kill the Angel."
"B-But… T-The pilot is f-fighting the Angel! A-And the Pilot i-is trying to take control!" complained Asuka through the radio.
"Doesn't matter, the Pilot could be providing an opening to the Angel, a human being cannot defeat and Angel alone, especially with their bare hands. So I'll give the order again… Kill. The. Angel."
"I-…I… NO! I will not kill a human being!" yelled Asuka. "But I was willing a moment ago… what made me change my mind?"
"Alright then… you live me no choice Pilot Soryu. Ibuki! Activate the Dummy Plug System."
"B-But sir!"
"Do it… NOW!"
"Yes sir," mumbled Maya under her breath.
"What made me change my mind?" that thought was repeated over and over in the Pilot of Unit 02 as the Angel was slowly moving back. "Why do I feel… regret?... who's piloting anyways?…" her thought came to a halt when everything turned back for a moment before becoming red. "What's happening?" Then two machines hands came out of the back of the seat and took the controls with the Pilot's hands intact. "What's going on?"
Unit 02 stood up in a zombie like style, head down, and arms dangling. As its head looked up to Unit 03, Unit 02's mouth opened revealing shark like teeth. The red eva then charged towards the Angel and threw the angel to the ground. As the Angel was flinching, Unit 02 got on top of the enemy and started ripping apart everything, limb by limb. "Stop it!" Asuka cried, as she tried to take control of her Unit 02 again.
At Nerv, the operators and the workers had either a surprised face or a face like they were about to vomit. Besides Gendo was smirking under his hands from his position while Kozo remained emotionless but had his fist tightened. "PLEASE STOP IT! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! FOR THE LOVE OF- PLEASE JUST STOP THIS! THE PILOT WAS ABOUT TO GAIN CONTROL! SO PLEASE STOP-" her eyes widened when Unit 02 grabbed the entry plug and started to crush it with its bare hands. "No… Please." Her begging was futile; Unit 02 successfully crushed the entry plug like it was nothing. "NOO!"
After a few moment of silence, Maya said "T-Target has g-gone silent… sir…" somehow able to still say something after seeing the gruesome ending of the battle.
"Excellent… prepare to retrieve the remains of Unit 03…" replied the Commander.
"Yes sir…"

The next thing that Misato remembered was in a stretcher inside an ambulance with Ritsuko sitting next to her. "Ugh! What happened?" asked Misato as she noticed bandages on her head and her arm.
"Unit 03 was contaminated by an Angel…" said Ritsuko, who too had a bandage on her head.
"Oh… Wait… SHINJI!" the Major cried as she jumped up but only to recoil in pain as she clutched her head in pain.
"Calm down Misato," said the fake blond.
"Don't tell me to calm down! What happened to Shinji? What happened to the Angel?"
"From what I hear, they activated the dummy plug system in Unit 02 to terminate the Angel… I do not know on what happened to the Pilot though…"
"Ugh… C-Can I make a call to Asuka?" asked Misato
000
Asuka had her back leaned against the back of the seat inside the entry plug with both her arms and legs relaxed. "It's done… nothing can be done now…" mumbled Asuka. "B-But why do I feel… regret… shame… and sad about it?"
She then heard people outside her Unit 02 saying that the Pilot was alive but loosing large amounts of blood. She tried to see on who the pilot was but one of the retrieval team was blocking her view. Asuka then heard Misato calling out to her through a 'Sound Only' channel, "Asuka? Asuka? You okay?"
"Yes Misato… If so nice of you to show up now of all times!" yelled Asuka, somehow able to find the strength to do so. "Where's the Idiot? Is he with you now?"
"Listen Asuka," began Misato as Asuka tried to see on who the pilot was. "I'm sorry that I couldn't tell you earlier but the pilot who tried to activate Unit 03 was…" Asuka then started to see who the pilot was as he was getting moved into the ambulance at the same time that Misato said the name, "Shinji…"
The red head's eyes widened. "No… Oh God no… PLEASE!... NOOO!"

Well I hope you guys enjoyed it… if it was not long as you guys expected, wait till the next one. Enter the 10th angel from Evangelion 2.22! Btw, just to ask, did you guys see the dubbed of Evangelion 2.22 yet? If not then goto dubhappy (dot) com. In my opinion the acting was really good, better than the series… Though I really hated when Asuka was chosen to activate Unit 03… that ticked me off SO MUCH when I watched 2.0 (rip cam version)!
Anyways, I'll stop commenting and spoiling Evangelion 2.22 to you guys… So… was this better or worser than the Shinji's Choice?... Please I want your honest opinion… Oh and if the title doesn't fit the story, wait till later… it'll all make sense once you read on… (I pretty much wrote down the entire outline so… yea…)
So good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good night, or whatever depending on what time you guys read this… Till next time~ Byebye!
