I do not own anything in this story.
"Quit struggling already! Stay still!" shouted the old man as he finished bandaging Shinji's body. "There, all done. You didn't make it easy you squirmy little worm." He had carried Shinji out of the city to his home located at the very tip of the peninsula. His house was an old abandoned two story house that was still left standing after the impact. He put Shinji in an upstairs room on a rickety bed and started wrapping him in bandages. He was a European man with graying hair and dark blue eyes and introduced himself as Gaston Sebat. Shinji could barely speak because of his swollen jaw so he could not introduce himself.
"Wow! He looks just like a mummy! And those scars! Stick some neck bolts in and the monster is complete!" shouted an energetic young Asian boy with black hair and brown eyes.
"Tsujido be quiet!" growled Gaston. The young boy called Tsujido shut his mouth with a big smile still on his face.
"What happened to him?" asked a new voice. Another boy walked in from the hallway to look at Shinji. He had ashy gray hair and golden eyes. "You get hit by a train kid?" the boy asked Shinji.
"I found him leaning against a wall in the city. He won't be able to speak much with his jaw swollen up like this. So don't expect a lot of answers Judas." Tsujido left the room and came back with a pen and paper.
"Here" said Tsujido placing the items next to Shinji's good hand. "Use these to talk. Who are you?" Shinji moved his fingers and grasped the pen. Shinji wrote out Shinji Ikari. "Your name is Shinji huh?" Shinji responded with a groan.
"What happened to you" asked Judas. Shinji felt the familiar heat rise in his chest and a white hot hatred spread throughout his body. Shinji eyes turned crimson again and he scratched out on the pad GENDO! KILL! Shinji felt his back and torso splitting apart and something emerging from his spine in both places. CRACK! Bones and cartilage bending, snapping, and molding were heard. Gaston, Tsujido, and Judas stepped back from the bed as it shook violently from Shinji's changing. Shinji dropped his jaw and let loose a roar of pain as a three foot brown furry tail shot out from Shinji's coccyx (that is the tail bone for all you snickering out there) and two six foot black wings grew out of his spine.
Shinji sat up panting breathlessly his wings flapping lightly providing a cool breeze in the humid room. His tail squirmed on the bed behind him feeling the softness of the bed sheets.
"Wow that was awesome!" exclaimed Tsujido. "Me next! It's my turn!" Tsujido tried to concentrate and tried to force something out of his body, but only managed to pass gas. Gaston looked at Shinji's wings and grinned.
"A fallen angel with wings coated black from the dried blood of millions. The Devine Balancer Uriel has come to balance the world once again."
"Who's Uriel?" asked Judas. Gaston shook his head and said,
"Never mind." Gaston moved over to Shinji and knelt before him raising Shinji's head and asked,
"Do you want the strength to kill this Gendo?" Shinji's eyes shone a metallic blue as Shinji wheezed out a yes. "Then stay here and you will gain the strength and skills to Balance the entire world!" Shinji didn't know what he was talking about, and didn't care. He layed back on the bed, careful not to harm his new wings, and fell fast asleep. "Lets leave him hear for now guys, we will renew our training tomorrow" Gaston told Judas and Tsujido.
"Already?" Tsujido whined. "Can't we rest some more like him?" he said pointing at the sleeping Shinji. Gaston slapped Tsujido's hand down and ordered,
"No! Now go to bed!"
Shinji's Dream
(Nerv Building Two months ago)
"Wow this place is going to be huge dad!" said Shinji looking out the window of the elevator seeing the underground city being built. "The entire city of Tokyo is going to go here?"
"That's right Shinji, now step away from the window" said Gendo. Shinji obeyed and rode to the top of the elevator with his father. The end of the ride signaled with a loud BING and the doors opened up. A few feet from the elevator stood two women in lab coats waiting for them. One of them was a middle aged brunette with short hair the other a teenaged girl with short blond hair.
"Good morning Mr. Ikari" the Brunette woman said to Gendo with a large smile. "And hello to you too Shinji. How are you doing today?" she asked Shinji warmly. Shinji bowed and answered,
"I am very excited today Professor Akagi, how are you?"
"I am well thank you. Please meet my daughter Ritsuko" she said motioning to the blond teen at her side. She bowed her head at both the Ikari men and said,
"Nice to meet you, I will be working here with my mother from now on."
"Very well" said Gendo as he walked out of the elevator. The four of them walked down the bright hallway and as the elder Akagi was updating Gendo, Shinji looked on in awe at the hallway as it seemed to go on forever. After almost ten minutes of walking the four reached a large laboratory filled with many men running around yelling into phones and moving papers. Gendo approached a red haired foreign woman, about the same age as professor Akagi, and asked her,
"What is the experiment's status Professor Soryu?" She turned around and answered,
"Everything is preceding well Mr. Ikari. The contact experiment should be ready to commence in a few days we expect." She glanced over at Shinji and smiled. "I see you brought your son today, I brought my daughter. I just had her things brought over from Germany; she will be living with me from now on. Asuka! Come here please!" Shinji looked around and saw a little red haired girl his age playing with a control helmet. She took off the helmet, ran over to her mother, and bowed to all present. Gendo nodded at her and said to Shinji,
"Why don't you go off and play somewhere Shinji I have a lot to do." Shinji nodded and asked Professor Soryu,
"Can Asuka come play too?"
"Sure, Asuka can come if she wants." Shinji looked to Asuka and asked her,
"Do you want to play tag?" Asuka's face remained emotionless and didn't respond. Shinji tried German,
"Moechten Sie Umbau spielen?"
"You speak German?" asked Professor Soryu.
"Yes, my mother gave me some books on how to speak German before she died" said Shinji. Professor Soryu placed a hand over her mouth and said sympathetically,
"Oh yes I heard that your mother passed away recently, I just remembered now. I am sorry to hear that Shinji. "
"It's alright" Shinji replied. "She would want me to be happy."
"Asuka why don't you play with Shinji, and speak up, you know Japanese very well."
"Alright" sighed Asuka. She and Shinji marched over to another empty hall way and Shinji started it off by tapping Asuka and shouting,
"Tag you're it!" Asuka stamped her foot and said,
"Are you a total Baka? You need at least three people to play a decent game."
"Ok, then let's go find someone else to play with." Asuka stood there sighing as Shinji opened looked in the doors along the hallway to find someone. All the doors he opened contained desks and empty offices yet to be filled. On the right, thirty doors down from where he started, stood a door labeled Keep Out, Child trauma room. Shinji read the sign and did not understand the word trauma. He entered the room ignoring the keep out sign.
The room had florescent lights glaring down. The walls were completely padded and in the middle of the room there was a lone chair with a teenaged girl with long bluish black hair sitting down. She had her knees pulled up into her chest and bandages covered her hands and chest. Her hair came down around her, covering her face. Shinji walked up behind her and said,
"Hello. Want to play tag with me?" She turned her head slightly and looked Shinji in the eye. Shinji looked down at her arms and torso and said,
"Oh no, you look hurt." Shinji instantly perked up and said, "I'll help!" Shinji took both the girl's hands off her knees and held them tight in his own. She frantically tried to pull them away but Shinji held on tight. A warm blue glow emanated from his hands and flowed over the girl's arms. The girl watched in amazement as the warm glow covered her arms and receded back into the boy.
"There you go!" Shinji beamed. The girl moved one of her quivering hands to her arm and felt it. She ran a hand over the bandages on her arm back and forth, and then she started to rip them off. She looked at her arms and saw her smooth unscarred skin. She felt her chest over the bandages, she was still burned there. Shinji grabbed her in a sudden embrace and hugged her, letting his glow flow all over her torso. The girl shuddered briefly as Shinji hugged her, nobody had touched her in a while besides the doctors applying ointment and more bandages. She returned his hug quickly, wrapping her arms tightly around his chest.
After the embrace lasted five minutes the girl pulled away and felt her chest. All was healed except a long scar going across her chest.
"I'm sorry" Shinji said. "I couldn't fix that one." The girl responded,
"That's alright, who are you?"
"I'm Shinji Ikari, and you?" Shinji asked.
"My name is Misato Katsuragi, nice to meet you. My father Dr. Katsuragi led the expedition to Antarctica I became like this when the ANGEL fell." She answered. Shinji nodded,
"Fascinating! Wanna play tag now?" he asked Misato answered ok. Shinji took her hand and they walked out of the room back to where Asuka stood. "I have our third player! Let's play tag now!" Asuka rolled her eyes and started the game touching Shinji and yelling tag. He touched Misato and ran down the hallway.
Shinji ran all the way to the end of the hallway that led into a new laboratory. It had three large monitors and what seemed to be a hundred seats for engineers to sit in. Shinji heard grunting and what sounded like sobbing coming from around the corner.
Shinji walked into the room and turned to his right to see the elder Professor Akagi choking a young light blue haired girl.
"You little bitch!" the professor sobbed. "You can't speak that way to me! Neither can he! I am no hag!" Shinji ran up to the professor pleading her to stop,
"Please professor let her go! You're hurting her!" She turned her head and snarled at Shinji,
"You! You're the son of that son of a bitch! You will grow up to be just like him!" She dropped the girl (still alive but gasping for breath) and wrapped her hands around Shinji's throat. "Die junior fucker!" Shinji felt the air escaping his lungs, with the professor pinning him down he could not escape. He began to feel light headed and he started to feel sleepy. He concentrated hard on professor Akagi's face as she kept snarling and cursing at him. He felt something odd forming in his head as he concentrated harder. Right before he passed out he heard a large CRACK like the sound of a gun or a tree falling town. Above him the professor had a gaping hole through her forehead and a shocked expression on her face. Shinji felt her blood dripping down on his face as he passed out.
Hope you liked this one; I finally got the time to finish it. I have much more to come. All reviews are welcome.
