Evangelion Rewrite: Chapter 11
The iron padlock coldly kept the three boys from exploring the engine room. It wasn't the padlock's fault. But it was just unfortunate that this padlock happened to be the lock that got in Shinji's way. "Well I guess we're not getting it, this is one hell of a tough padlock." Kensuke mumbled this to Toji, but life was brought back into him when Shinji came. However, this life was more inspired by fight or flight reflexes as Shinji held a large axe and brought it down upon the lock. Toji exclaimed out loud "holy crap, you're crazy Shinji!" The padlock had remained intact, so Shinji held the fireaxe above his head again. Quickly muttering, "well. If they didn't want me to break in, they shouldn't have put a fire axe so close to this pad lock." Then he swiftly brought the axe down upon the padlock again and again until it broke and fell to the ground. "Well guys." Shinji forced out in between his pants. "I think we can get into the engine room now." Kensuke smiled at Shinji and readied his camera as he walked through the door. Toji gave Shinji odd looks, but then made his way into the room and was silently followed by Shinji himself.
Kensuke shouted, "wow" madly, until Touji grabbed him by his collar and hushed him up. Shinji walked around the engine room, it was a series of platforms and gangways that all surrounded a large reactor which grinded with life, the three boys figured that this was the engine. "Shit, I guess breaking in with an axe was a bad idea after all." Shinji said this and turned to face several sailors who had them surrounded. "This is an restricted area, give us the camera and leave quietly." A man with a Sub Lieutenant rank said to the three break-ins.
Shinji, Toji and Kensuke found themselves being escorted to the bridge by three scowling sailors. "Still worth it Kensuke?" Shinji asked.
"Still worth it." Kensuke answered and earned him a clout round then back of his head. "Keep moving!" Grunted the sailor behind Kensuke. They continued on in silence until they stopped, rather abruptly. "I'll be taking the third child." Ordered a girl's voice. "Which one's the third child again?" Asked Shinji in a light tone.
"I think she's talking about Kensuke." Toji answered.
"Or, she could be talking about Shinji." Kensuke said, understanding the ploy.
"Perhaps she's talking about the sailors behind us." Shinji said. "She never said that she didn't mean man-child." This remark earned Shinji a quick boot to the back of the leg and he grunted at the sudden introduction of pain. "Quick fooling around and come with me Shinji, you idiot!" Asuka lost her control and shouted this loud enough to startle the man holding Shinji. "Well, if you had asked for me by name, I would have known what you were on about, red head." Shinji was seeing just how much he could annoy Asuka until he actually had to come with her. He straightened himself up in order to make his demands. "Alright, fine, I'll come with you. If you, make the head scratchers behind us, let my friends go as well." Asuka immediately snapped her fingers arrogantly and after few moments the sailors backed off. "We have adult work to do anyway." One of them said and they all left, heading back down to the engine room.
"Let me know if you need some help cleaning engine room, you know, adult work!" Kensuke shouted this after them and was grabbed by Toji, who grinned had knuckled Kensuke head playfully. When they turned, Shinji and Asuka were gone.
"So, you just wanted to show off your Eva?" Shinji asked as Asuka uncovered a giant red robot. "Unlike your test robot, the Eva 02 is the first true Evangelion. Built for actual combat situations with more speed and battle capabilities." Asuka had jumped on top of the Eva in order to say this, but Shinji had lost interest and was cleaning the inside of his ear with one finger before flicking the wax at Askua's Eva. Making her burn brightly. "Listen Asuka, I'm grateful for you getting me out and trouble and all. But if you just want to gloat, do and do that kind of stuff to that Kaji guy. I'm not at all interested in who's got the shinier machine." Shinji said this and began to walk off until a rumble nearly threw him into the water surrounding the Eva. "What on earth was that?" Shinji asked and Asuka ran off shouting.
"An undersea shockwave!" Shinji quickly followed her from behind and joined up with her when she stopped at a railing. They quickly spotted what was causing all of the fuss. A large underwater foe was reeking havoc on the warships surrounding the main ship. "Looks like an angel." Shinji said, suddenly reeling back into a more serious state. "A real one?" Asuka asked in surprise.
"Yep, god knows why it decided to come here though, this thing could destroy an unguarded Tokyo-3 if it took the opportunity. Oh well, I guess this is your chance to prove that your Eva is as good as you say it is." Shinji finished and grew a little worried when he saw the wicked smile on Asuka's face. 'Damn that girl!' Shinji thought to himself. 'She's going to get herself killed if she charges in without taking it seriously. I better come with her and make sure that she doesn't make my mistakes.' Shinji then bit into his thumb and drew the fiery symbol onto his other hand.
Regret, is a funny emotion. It requires for you to have done or said something bad, before you can actually feel regretful. Standing in a skin tight entry-plug suit, that was designed for Asuka, Shinji felt regret in full colour. But another funny thing about regret is that, once you feel it, it's too late to change anything. With a whirling sound, the Eva 02's entry plug opened up and Shinji jumped in. "Just wait and see my superior piloting skills." Asuka gloated.
"Unless you're trying to romantically impress me, shut up and get in already. We haven't got time for being prideful." This shut Asuka up and she got into the plug with a red glow on her face. She quietly activated the Eva started talking mumbled up garbage, which caused the Eva to spring into action. "Excuse me, but just what the hell was that nonsense that you said?" Shinji asked with unguarded curiosity, but this sudden noise caused an error in the entry plug. "Idiot!" Asuka yelled. "By talking in Japanese, you've disrupted the Eva. Shut up and think in German!" Shinji began to chuckle. "German? You call that German? What you were speaking sounded like an abomination of German." Asuka glared at Shinji madly for this, but she ordered for the Eva to change the language to Japanese and the Eva, finally, fully activated.
With a grin Asuka jumped from the cargo ship that was holding the Eva and landed on a warship close to the angel, which destroyed both ships. A countdown began for the energy supply of the Eva 02. "Damn, if this was the real model, then they should have fixed the energy problems." Shinji muttered. But Asuka ignored Shinji and instead started screaming down the communications. "Misato! Get the external power plug ready." With an affirmative from Misato, Asuka started to jump from ship to ship in order to get to the main vessel. This destroyed each one of them in turn until they reached the main ship and found the plug lying in wait for them. Asuka grabbed it and attached it to her Eva, stopping the countdown. Shinji talked to Asuka calmly, trying to get some sort of plan into her head. "We don't have any weapons, so hang back and observe the angel a little. We can't let the progressive knife go to waste." Asuka took out the knife and held her position as the Angel charged them both. It gleamed under the water and then jumped onto the Eva 02, knocking the knife out of Asuka's hands. "Damn it! I said that knife was important!" Shinji yelled as the angel tried to squish them both. Asuka tried to push the angel off of the Eva, but slipped on debris and nearly fell into the water. But, luckily, this flipped the angel overboard. "Asuka! It's impossible to fight underwater with Type-B equipment!" Misato's voice yelled through the com link. "You never know, unless you try." Asuka said defiantly. But Shinji gripped her shoulder like a vice, causing her to yelp. "Don't be a jumpy little shit, even if the Eva can fight down there, we'll be in it's home territory. Giving the angel the upper advantage. You want to prove that your Eva is better? Well you can only do that if you're alive." Asuka grimaced but held off. 'Good girl, at least you can listen better than I can.' Shinji thought with a smile. But his attention was caught by the appearance of some kind of futuristic super jet. "Kaji!" Yelled out Misato so loud that Shinji and Asuka heard it from the communications. "I've got something to deliver, so I'll be taking off now." Kaji's words made Shinji even more furious than the last time Kaji pissed Shinji off and he screamed down the communications. "Bastard coward! When I catch up to you, I'll rip off your fucking head and spit down your throat! You dare to run away whilst fifteen year olds are fighting for their lives!? You fucking worthless pile of scum! I will tear off your chin and shove it up your anus! So in case you haven't gotten it yet! I will find you and I will break you and then I will kill you, you pathetic pile of human trash!" Silence reigned supreme after this outburst, Asuka was visibly stunned by this sudden explosion of angst and foul language. Misato was unsure of what to make of it and instead decided to note to herslef that Kaji should be kept far away from Shinji and Kaji himself, sped off without another word.
"Damn manwhore, if I get my hands on him. I will get him back for this." Shinji grumbled, but Asuka interrupted him before he could continue. "It's coming again!" She shouted and jumped into the water. But the Eva became unable to move. "It's not working!" Asuka screamed.
"And why do you think that is? Could it perhaps have something to do with the Type-B Equipment?" Shinji asked, just about having enough of this whole day. "You're the third child! Do something!" Asuka commanded this, forgetting Shinji's foul mood that strangled any other atmosphere. He ignored her and she wailed helplessly until the sixth angel opened it's mouth and swallowed them. "It has a mouth!?" Asuka screamed in surprise.
"Of course it does, it is alive. What did you think angels were? Robots like your precious Eva?" Shinji fired off these questions and then started sulking again as the angel dragged the Eva around the undersea in it's mouth. Misato's voice crackled over the communications as she explained her plan to suicide bomb two warships into the angel's mouth after the Eva 02 opened it to escape. "Good plan Misato and you don't even have an Eva. What do you think of that, Asuka?" Shinji taunted Asuka and then sat onto her lap, making her scream in surprise, but she didn't kick up a fuss. "I don't intend to die today, so let's get this pointless day over with already!" After this Shinji pulled up on the Eva's controls and then Asuka joined in. Both of them struggling for their lives. Disgusting came from the angel as it's mouth was being wrenched open, then with a final burst of strength, the Eva gaped the angel's mouth fully open and held it in place until the two warships dove straight into the mouth. The angel devoured the entire explosion, that was rained down from the warship's cannons, and bursted in a cloud of purple energy; which fired the Eva out of the ocean. Allowing Asuka to land on another warship and with a sigh, the Eva deactivated.
'Today has been the worst, I met up with another teammate and she turned out to be worse than the other teammate. I got into a fight with Misato's old lover, I got into a fight with the sixth angel and if I walk outside of this damned useless Eva and someone dares to laugh at me because of this stupid female entry-plug I'm wearing. So help me! Because I will end with day with a rampage on that person's face!' Shinji breathed in silently and left the Eva without any regard for what everybody outside saw. As he walked forward, his balls jiggled a little, with his own 'package' clearly on display. "Go on, laugh." Shinji said to Kensuke and Toji as they held their hands over their mouths. "But know that if you laugh, I'll make sure that you'll be eating through a tube for the rest of your lives." This threat silenced Kensuke and Toji and they humbly looked down at the ground. Some sailors stopped to look at Shinji, but they all quickly grasped the situation and left silently; their lives were on the line after all. 'Yes, this truly is, the end of a horrible day.'
Shinji's fowl mood had crept over to the next day, making it so that Kensuke, Toji and Shinji sat on one side of the classroom and all of the over classmates did their best to huddle round on the opposite side. Toji opened his mouth and Shinji cut him off. "Don't. Don't even say anything. I don't want to hear it." Toji closed his mouth but it gaped open again when a glint of red came into the classroom. Shinji ignored it until a familiar voice said "my name is Asuka Langley and I will be your new classmate." The words "new classmate" echoed repeatedly in Shinji's mind and the atmosphere dropped to new levels of depravity and everybody became silent as they looked at Shinji. Almost feeling the air crackle around him. Toji and Kensuke made the wise choice to also back off as Shinji stood up slowly and turned unnaturally slow, like a foul demon. He then swiftly picked up his desk and threw it at Asuka screaming "just shut up and die already!" The desk smashed into the wall, a few inches away from Asuka. An idea popped into Shinji's head, so he straightened up and said "I mean, I'm Shinji your new classmate. I hope that we can be friends." Asuka brushed throw her hair and regained her happy composure. "Sure." She said cheerfully.
"You were not meant to say that, with such a cheerful attitude." Shinji grumbled with a terrifying undertone. Asuka gulped, signalling the start of her days as Nerv's newest Eva pilot.
