Chapter 3: Welcome to Nerv base

Sachiel approached dangerously Nerv base. He was only 5 minutes from his destination when he heard a loud sound. He looked in the air and he only saw a gray flash and it was already behind him. He fired a beam with his eyes, but he missed.

That annoying thing is too fast.

The gray object turned around and charged at him. Sachiel smirked when he heard another similar sound behind him.

What are you planning to do? Sachiel wondered. He increased his AT-Field at maximum and he waited.

The two gray things fired something charging at him. It was a cylinder object with a sharp part pointing at the angel core. Sachiel raised his hand and blocked the one in front of him. He heard something near him and he knew another cylinder hit him. Sachiel gasped when he felt his AT-Field distorting behind him. He used his other hand to stop it. The object pierced his AT-Field. Sachiel recreated at the last second an AT-Field on his skin before it exploded.

ARGH!

Sachiel felt in a crater and didn't move. Sachiel tried moving his left arm, but he felt nothing. He looked at it, his left arm was gone.

AAAHHH! Curse you lilim! I'm going to get you for this! I swear you will regret this! You will regret this! Sachiel saw the gray flying object flying away. Sachiel recreated his AT-Field around him and he calmed down. At least it's not my face.


An elevator slowly went down deeper in the ground. The elevator had the car of Misato with her and Shinji in it. Misato tapped Shinji face until he grunted and woke up.

"Uh. What happen?" Shinji asked.

"We escape the angel who currently busy," Misato replied before putting a communicator on her ear. "Maya. I want a status report now."

"-The army fired the two N2 Missiles and injured the angel, but the wound is minor. The angel is already regrown his lost arm and we are out of N2 missiles,-" Maya replied.

"Out already?!" Misato shouted.

"-Ouch! My ears! Anyway. Those are the only prototype. They didn't know if it could damage an angel. Since it's working, I'm sure it will be mass produced now.-" Maya answered.

"That's some good news," Misato said.

"-As long as angels are outside the city,-" Maya warned.

"Oh. So the citizen evacuated the town?" Misato asked.

"-Most of them are in the bunkers, I see a teenage girl stuck in debris with a young boy trying to free her. Rescue are on their way,-" Maya added.

"Thank you. Misato out,"

Shinji looked at Misato, but he broke contact with her and looked at the ground: "Misato..."

She looked at him: "What is it?"

"...Thank you. For saving me back there," Shinji said.

Misato smiled: "No problem. I guess you can work and paid back the damage on my car,"

Shinji mouth opened and his eyes turned white: "What?"

Misato giggled: "Just kidding. It will take too long for that. I'll put it on your father tab."

"I don't think he'll be happy about it," Shinji sighted. He knew his father wasn't the type who likes joke, especially since his mother death.

"I'm not kidding about this part," Misato grinned.

Shinji had a sweat drop when she said that. He then entered in his own world, wondering how his father would greet him.

Meanwhile, Gendo Ikari was in his office and watched a large screen. He had peach skin with brown hair and brown short beard. He wore a dark blue pant with a red shirt and dark blue shirt and white glove.

Main Investor L...Communication activates.

Main Investor L: Sound only

"L. I called my son to come here just as you wanted," Gendo said.

"-Good. You finally brought the destined one,-" L replied.

Gendo corrected his glasses and looked at the screen.

"Why aren't you showing your face L? I want to know who's supporting Nerv for its war against the angels," Gendo asked.

"-This again. No matter how many times you ask Gendo, I won't show my face. It's a very ugly one after all,-" L answered with some annoyance in the voice.

Gendo frowned at the answer. He contained his frustration with a poker face: "Why did you want to bring my son here now?"

"-It's because I learned that Rei had an...Accident and couldn't fight an angel if anything happened. I was worried so I took the opportunity. You bring your son here in case an Angel appeared and it exactly happened. I wonder if you had a spy in Nerv or in my company.-"

"I think it's a coincidence," Gendo replied coldly.

"-Maybe. I think I'll leave the angel case under your capable hand. I hope you son will succeed.-"

Main Investor L...Communication deactivates.

Gendo corrected his glasses: "I'll find out who you are eventually L."

"-Gendo, your son is waiting at the conference room.-" Maya warned him.

"Understood. I'm coming," Gendo replied. He stood up and he took a few seconds before walking out of his office.

He passed near Kozo Fuyutsuki, his second in command. He had peach skin with brown eyes and short gray hair. He wore a red brown uniform.

"How the meeting went with the investor?" Kozo asked.

"Nowhere. Our benefactor doesn't want to say more detail," Gendo replied.

"You are going to meet your son?" Kozo asked.

"Yes. It is time for him to know what the world wants from him," Gendo answered. "For now, please continue to check what is going on with the angel. We cannot let it wandered free."

"I understand," Kozo replied.

Gendo walked in the long corridor at the direction of the conference room and was near it. He stopped there and intake calmly.

"What did my son became?" Gendo asked himself quietly.

He opened the door and entered. He saw his son looking at him before he broke contact with him. Misato and his son were sitting on a chair. Gendo tried to find something to say to his son, but nothing came. He decided to speak as the commander.

"Congratulation Misato. You brought him to safety," Gendo said.

Shinji mouth opened surprised by his reply and his mouth pointed down. He then partially closed his eyelid. It wasn't how he thought it would be.

Misato frowned, but didn't say anything about it: "Yes. I bring your son to safety."

"Father," Shinji whispered with the pinch of his voice higher than normal.

"Good. Now that he is here to safety, I will explain why I called him here," Gendo said.

"I was wondering it too," Misato said.

She looked in the eyes of Gendo and wondered it too. She thought he wanted to see his son because his father instinct came back, but it wasn't the case. She knew he had something in his mind. She put her hand on Shinji back and this small comfort calmed him.

"I called him here because he is needed now," Gendo answered.

"Needed?" Shinji repeated surprised. His voice was low. Shinji felt deceive. He knew why he showed a sexy girl in the picture.

"Yes. I was asked to bring you here by our main investor of Nerv," Gendo started. "The reason is around your neck Shinji."

"The necklace? Why?" he asked quietly.

"It is a special necklace. No one knows the origin of those, but Yui had one before she died against an angel 10 years ago," Gendo said with a hint of sorrow in his voice. "You also have one and you always keep it with you."

"Of course. You told me that this is a memento from mother. I know she had it in the pictures father," Shinji replied.

"Yes. It is a memento from your mother because it was her necklace. She had it until she died. When we found her...It was gone and when I was home after looking at her for the last time, you were sleeping with it in your hand," Gendo replied. His eyes were wet for a second, but he closed them and chased them away.

"Wait. You said it disappeared and then reappeared in Shinji's hand?" Misato asked.

"Yes. It is hard to believe, but it is the case. Someone took it and gave it to you, no one saw who or knows how, but if you have it, it's because you are the chosen one," Gendo replied.

"Wait! He's also a chosen one?!" Misato shouted surprised.

"Yes," Gendo replied.

"What is going on?" Shinji asked. "What's the chosen one?"

"The chosen one is someone who holds a necklace like yours. Looked at it boy. Does it look familiar?" Gendo asked.

Shinji looked at his necklace and he suddenly had the image of what it was: "Father. It...It looks like the big red thing at the chest of the angel."

"Yes. Do not worry. It only looks like it. This red core is something only the chosen one have," Gendo said.

"That means that he's like Rei," Misato commented.

Shinji hesitated to ask something, but he opened his mouth and he asked: "Why you are calling me the chosen one?"

"The chosen one are those who can wear the Eva armor," Misato answered.

Shinji remembered the image he saw on television when they spoke about her mother. He knew a little about the Eva armor.

"We know nothing about the Eva armor and we couldn't produce it. They are unique exemplary that only the chosen one can wear and fight with. We know nothing else no matter how much we are researching them," Gendo said.

"Wait. You brought me here to-" Shinji couldn't say the rest.

"Yes. You are brought here to fight the angel, because you are the only one who can stand in his way. None of our weapons can kill them, we only hurt him and we don't have those N2 missiles to fight them anymore. You have to fight and kill the angel," Gendo answered.

"Father. I," Shinji said nothing for a minute. He looked at the floor. His eyes trembled, his face started to sweat a lot, his fingers are shaking and his breathing accelerated. He said slowly. "Can't fight them,"

Gendo glared at his son and shouted: "You're telling me that you don't want to kill one of those monsters who killed Yui! You want to let her death unavenged!"

Shinji flinched, but didn't react more than that. Misato looked at Gendo and bit her lip.

"You are holding in your hand the power Yui used-" he was cut.

"Commander! You cannot be so cruel against your own son! He was almost killed by the angel and he never learned how to fight!" Misato shouted.

Gendo immediately calmed down. He regained control of himself. He put his fingers on his glasses: "My apology. Shinji, if you are no fighting the angel, we will have no choice, but to send Rei and-"

The door of the conference room opened. The three looked at who entered.

It was a girl with gray hair, skin almost white with a brown eye, her other one was covered with bandage like her harms and her belly. She wore only a gray dress. She almost lost her balance and put her hand on a chair.

"Rei," Gendo said. He ran by her side and he helped her standing up. "What are you doing here?"

"The angel...is here," Rei replied calmly and painfully. "I have to...fight him."

"You cannot fight the angel Rei. You can barely stand on your feet," Misato replied helping Rei sitting on a chair.

"I'm the...only one," Rei replied.

Shinji looked at Rei. His mind worked extremely fast. He knew that if she tried to go out there, she will die. He clenched his hands and he bit his lips.

"If you go you'll die," Misato said.

"I-" Rei was cut by Shinji.

"I'll...I'll do it," Shinji said. His hands were trembling as he said those words. Rei looked at Shinji and she saw a resemblance with Gendo.

"Shinji." Gendo said. "Alright. Misato, bring Shinji to the launch room and prepare for the operation. I'll call the nurse so she brings Rei back to her bed and then I'll be in the command room."

Rei said: "You too,"

Shinji nodded. He stood up from his chair and followed Misato.

They walked in the corridors of the base and Shinji saw a few people walking around. Misato and Shinji heard something.

"-This is Maya! Everyone prepare for the battle! The angel fully regenerated his lost arm and is coming at the entrance of Nerv base. We closed the entrance, but if he could blow the city, he will enter without trouble. He'll be here in five minutes.-"

"Hurry Shinji!" Misato shouted. She grabbed his hand and they ran to the launch room.

When they reached the room, it had a wall covered with a few launching platform.

"Shinji. Go and walk on one of the platform," Misato told him. Shinji hesitated. "Hurry!"

Shinji ran on one of the platform. "Now what?" Shinji asked.

"Now take the core on your necklace," Misato told him.

Shinji listened to her and picked it. He looked at the core on his palm which was once his mother's possession. For the first time, he looked really deeply into it and Shinji felt like it shouldn't belong on his palm.

"Now. Put it on your chest," Misato ordered.

Shinji looked at Misato and listened to her. He put it on his chest and waited for something to happen. The boy felt good when the core was on his chest.

"What is supposed to happen?" Shinji asked. He heard a sound and he saw some amber colored liquid smelling like blood coming out of the core. "What's going on?!"

"Shinji! Calm down. There's no reason to be afraid. It's perfectly normal. What you are seeing is LCL. It is perfectly normal," Misato told him calmly.

Shinji saw the LCL starting to move around him. He didn't move and his breath accelerated.

"Urgh!" a pain suddenly awoke in Shinji chest. He looked down and he saw the red core entering in his chest while the LCL formed a cocoon around him. "Misato! Help!"

"Shinji. Do not worry. It's not going to hurt you," she replied and her eyes couldn't look at Shinji anymore.

The cocoon of LCL solidified while the inside remained liquid. Shinji stopped moving in it. Shinji started floating in the cocoon and grabbed his legs and put it against his chest in a dormant state.

"Prepared to launch him," Misato said.

"-The angel will be here in 2 minutes Misato,-" Maya warned.

One minute passed the cocoon remained there. Misato started sweating nervously: "I would have been faster if he wore the plugsuit."

The cocoon cracked and Misato waited for Shinji to come out. One part of the cocoon broke and a metallic hand came out. It then returned inside and tore the cocoon apart. Coming out of the cocoon was a 10ft. Eva armor. It had chest plate that resembles pectoral muscles; The Eva's distinctive helmet visually evokes the horn and frill of a ceratopsian dinosaur. His plates are painted with purple and green. His jaw was blue. He was activated and his white eyes were on.

"-He looks exactly like Yui-" Gendo said sadly.

"-The angel is here in 10 seconds!-" Maya shouted.

The hands of the Eva raised and the white eyes scanned it: "What happened to me?" Shinji asked with a deeper voice.

"-5 seconds!-" Maya shouted.

"Launch him!" Misato ordered.

"W-Misato! Wait!" Shinji shouted before he was launched to the surface.

To be continued.
