Thanks for the reviews! I'll try to fix my bad habits but no promises….

3 SEELE monitors came on a dark room.
SEELE 05: Is the boy broken yet?
SEELE 01: Not yet…
SEELE 08: It's been over 3 weeks already… I'm surprise that all the experiments that the Germany NERV was trying to conduct on him didn't break him yet…
SEELE 01: Lets not forget that he also has the knowledge to end human being, NERV, and us….
SEELE 05: Right, since the third impact gave him the memory and knowledge of many.
SEELE 01: That could be a problem if the Third is able to learn on what he could do… I guess we can count ourselves lucky that he didn't do anything about it…
Then there was silence…
SEELE 08: I propose a plan
SEELE 01 and 05: We're listening.
SEELE 08: It's only a matter of time before Kaji, the first child, and former Tabris to find out on where the Third Child is, since one of our 'ally' gave them him position.
SEELE 01: So what do you propose?
SEELE 08: I propose that we erase his entire memory besides the memory of pain...
SEELE 05: WHAT? That's a huge gamble, knowing Gendo in his state after the third impact will do anything to bring back his son's memory, and why only let him remember pain?
SEELE 08: Ahh… but lets not forget, we were able to get a particular scientist at our disposal that's working for him, and we let him remember pain because then he'll become so distant from others that he will never speak to people again…
SEELE 01: I see… I agree with your plan especially on leaving memory of pain with him…
SEELE 05: Very well, if you put it that way… I agree
SEELE 08: Then I'll see to it that I inform the Germany NERV scientists to conduct our plan right now…
SEELE 01 and 05: AGREED.
Then the monitors disappeared.

Kensuke got up to Touji the moment that Touji entered the class room and asked, "Yo! Did you find out where Shinji is from the Demon yet?"
Touji kept it a secret that Shinji ran away from Kensuke, "It seems that Shinji got pretty bitten up by the Demon badly…"
"Damn… enough to get him miss school for 3 weeks… and I find it odd that Asuka is a bit quieter now… but more vicious to the guys who tires to ask her out…"
"Well, we don't know on what's going on the Demon's brain…"
"That is quiet true…" said Kensuke
Then Hikari showed up, "And what were you guys talking about?"
Kensuke then said, "N-nothing Class-rep!"
Then she looked at Touji with an evil glare, "U-uh… I would like to tell you but then Asuka's going to kill us!"
"So it's about Asuka then?" said Hikari
Kensuke then said, "DUDE! Now she's going to tell the Demon!"
Then Asuka shows up behind Kensuke and Touji and said, "I'm a what now?"
"N-Nothing!" yelled Kensuke
Then Hikari grabbed his ear, "Tell her!" then she also grabbed Touji's ear.
"Ow, ow, ow! We called you Demon!" said Touji
After Hikari release her grasp, Kensuke shook his head, and whispered to Touji, "Dude, you should stop giving in to the Class-rep…"
"Well I can't help it that I don't want to get bitten up by 2 most vicious girls in school!" whispered back Touji
"We heard that!" yelled both Hikari and Asuka
"Uhh… can you let us off the hook just this once?" said Touji as he bowed towards the girls
Hikari and Asuka started to talk to each other. Then Hikari said, "Just this once..."
"YES!" yelled Kensuke and Touji
"But I would like to talk to Touji," said Asuka
"Damn, good luck bro!" said Kensuke as he ran to his seat.
"Way to be a friend Kensuke," mumbled Touji.
"Alright Touji, what did you tell Kensuke about Shinji?" said Asuka as she dragged Touji out of the classroom
"I-I told him that you bitten Shinji up pretty badly that he had to miss school for the past 3 weeks!" said Touji
"Alright…" said Asuka as she walked into the classroom, while Touji expected to get hit.

"I'm home!" yelled Asuka as she came inside Misato's apartment.
"Welcome back," said Misato.
"Why are you staying home again?" asked Asuka
"Commander put me into house arrest right after I yelled 'What does that bastard think he is thinking on what he knows on what's best for his son!' after I left the room… remember?" said Misato as she drank her beer can.
"Oh… right…" said Asuka as she entered the kitchen she saw that Misato was on her 5th beer can while sitting in the table. "I expected more beer cans when I came back," said Asuka
"Well, I think it's better if I cut back on how much beer I drink…"
"Hmm… any news yet about Shinji?" asked Asuka as she sat opposite to Misato.
"No news yet…" said Misato.
"Do you think that we will see him again?" asked Asuka with a bit of sadness
"I can't promise anything. But I can say this, we can hope to see him again…" said Misato
"Okay…"
It might seem that those two are taking this better than many other people who just realized that they hurt someone for something that they've never done and finding it out until it was too late. But deep inside them, they were depressed, saddened. But there hope still remained to see him again… and there hope is about to come true… not as they hoped though…

"Kaworu, Rei are you in position?" whispered Kaji through a radio. He was inside a air vent.
"Yes," replied a voice of Kaworu.
"Affirmative," replied Rei
"Good, now after I de-activate the security in the lab on where Shinji is in, you guys have exactly 6 minutes to infiltrate and rescue the subject… are we clear?" said Kaji. Then he jumped down next to a power box.
"Yes," replied Kaworu
"Affirmative," replied Rei.
"Alright get ready….5…..4….3…2…1… go!"
Kaworu and Rei then showed up in a hallway. "Seems too quiet… and there are no guards," said Kaworu.
"I think it might be a trap Tabris," said Rei
"Same here… or it might that they never expected us to get here pretty fast…" said Tabris
"We should hurry, there's only 3 minutes left," said Rei as they both started to run until they reached a door saying 'Quarantined'
"Here it is," said Nagisa as he opened the door with a tool bar that he happened to carry.
When the door opened it revealed Shinji, with a lot of cuts in his arms, legs, and head, needles in his arms, unconscious, and tied to a bed. Both of them ran to Shinji and tried to get needles off of him. "Agent Kaji?" asked Kaworu through a radio
"What is it?" replied Kaji
"We found him… how much longer?"
"You guys have exactly a minute and 15 seconds that get out before the alarms start to ring!"
Then Kaworu and Rei both started to run while Kaworu carried Shinji in his back. As they got out of the building, the alarms started to ring. Outside they met Kaji with a black car.
"Get in!" yelled Kaji.
III
Gendo and Fuyutsuki heard a knock on his door, "Come in," replied Gendo.
When the door opened, it showed Nagisa, Rei, and Kaji. "Welcome back," replied Fuyutsuki.
"Glad to be back sir," said Kaji
"Now report," said Gendo
"Right, we were able to get Shinji, though it seems as though he was tortured or was being experimented on…" said Kaji.
"We were able to find the helicopter that we went to Germany with after we ran out of the building," said Nagisa
"And how's the condition of the Third Pilot?" asked Gendo
"Physically he should be find in about 3 months sir," replied Rei
"Physically? How bout mentally?" asked Fuyutsuki
"Well… when we came to this NERV hospital, after he woke, he didn't seem to remember anything about his past, and not able to say anything… it seems as though that Germany NERV knew that we were coming and erase Pilot Ikari's memory," answered Rei
"Were there… any problems infiltrating the part of the building?" asked Gendo.
"No there weren't sir," replied Kaji.
"Very well, I say that it is a job well done since there orders were to retrieve Shinji… right Gendo?" said Fuyutsuki
"Yes, I agree… we did not say anything about mental or physical health… and how long did it take for you to come back from Germany?" asked Gendo
"24 hours sir," replied the former Tabris.
"Very well… dismissed!" yelled Gendo.
After the 3 left, the sub-commander said, "It seems that SEELE were able to predict this… and they got Germany to declare war on us…"
"It would seem… but now we know where the remnants SEELES involved at the moment… but when they do strike again, we'll be ready…"

"WHAT? THEY FOUND HIM!... OFCOURSE I WANT TO SEE HIM RTIZ!... ALRIGHT THEN I'M ON MY WAY!" yelled Misato with great joy.
After she got dressed she said to herself, "I wish Asuka didn't decide today to go to Hikari's today…"
After entering a hospital room, Misato saw Shinji with bandages rapped around his arms and legs, including his forehead, and a little on the cheeks. She also saw some bandages around his chest that was showing by an unbuttoned part of the hospital cloths. Next to him were Kaji, Nagisa, and Rei. Shinji also had his eyes opened but there was no life in it.
"What happened to him?" asked Misato
"We don't know… all we can guess is that they tried to conduct experiments on him," said Kaji.
"How long until he can come home?" asked Misato
"Well… as long as the commander says yes for Shinji to be able to go to your apartment, anytime…" said Nagisa
Then Misato ran and was about to hug Shinji but Rei got in the way. "Major Katsuragi, Ikari is….has lost his memory…" said Rei. Misato was shocked when she heard this… she was about to cry but she held that back.
Then Kaji said, "The doctor said that this might be permanent… but he said that it would be wise to let him stay with his family or guardian…"
"Do I have Gendo's permission though?" asked Misato.
"Yes, you do have my permission to do so," replied a cold voice as Gendo entered the room.
"R-Really sir?" asked Misato.
Gendo nodded, "But know this… let this kind of event happen again… that'll be the last time that you'll ever see day light again…" then he walked away.
"Wow… evil and kind… never knew that a person like that existed…" said Kaworu.
"Commander… is showing affection to Pilot Ikari?" asked Rei
"He is…" replied Kaji.
"Alright I'm getting him checked out now!" yelled Misato.
III
Shinji was wearing his regular cloths except with bandages around his head and both his arms. On the way to Misato's home, no one exchanged words… She, and neither did anyone involved in NERV, knew that Shinji had some memories that remained in him but only the bad ones. Even though neither of them exchanged words, Misato was happy that Shinji was back. And this time she made sure to drive safely to her apartment.
When Misato got out of her car, she had to help Shinji walk. She was given strict orders from the doctors that the 'patient' needs help to walk since he always falls back down looking depressed. When they entered her apartment, she realized that Shinji was putting a bit for force to fall down.
But she didn't care. She brought him to his room and helped him to his bed. Shinji was sitting on the bed like he just woke up from a dream. He was looking at his legs when he sat down.
Misato then kneeled next to the bed, and said, "Shinji?" no response. "Shinij… can you at least talk to me?" Silence. "Please…" then she started to cry. "I know that I was mean to you before… but I-I'm sorry… please forgive me…"
There was no response from Shinji at all… he was lifeless as a doll! She, then, stopped and started to brush Shinji's hair with her left hand. Still, there's no response form the boy.
Meanwhile… with Asuka and Hikari…
Hikari and Asuka were talking on a kitchen table with cups in there hands while it lay on the table. And they were laughing, more like giggling… Then it stopped down. "Yea… those were the days," said Hikari.
"Yea, it sure was…" said Asuka as she looked down at her cup.
"Any news about Shinji yet?" asked Hikari.
"No… none…"
"It must be hard for you…"
"Yea… I mean I was such a bitch to Shinji about it without listening to the whole story from Ritsuko."
"It's not your fault," said Hikari, "I would've done the same thing…"
"But I said that he was dead to me!" yelled Asuka with sadness in her voice, and tears forming in her eyes. "I just wish that I can have a do-over. Go back and never say that again…" said Asuka as she started to cry, both her hands on her eyes to cover her tears.
Hikari then got up and started to pat Asuka on the back saying, "You'll have another chance… it'll be alright…"
"Y-Yea but what if I don't?" asked Asuka
"You will, I mean Kaji and 2 other pilots are out searching for him right?" asked Hikari.
"Y-yea…" said Asuka as she stopped crying and let her hand down to let it dangle. "T-Thanks Hikari."
"No problem…" said Hikari with a warm smile.
Then Asuka looked at her watch… it was 5:30. "MEIN GOTT! It's that late already? I was supposed to get home 30 minutes ago! Damn it! I have to go home now or Misato will have my head for being late…" said Asuka as she ran out. "Bye Hikari!"
"BYE ASUKA!" yelled Hikari.
III
Misato was brushing Shinji's hair for 5 straight minutes, hoping that the boy would response. But, sadly, he didn't. Then she heard her door open, and heard Asuka's voice saying, "SORRY THAT I'M LATE!"
Misato practically have forgotten about Asuka and what time it was. She then got out of Shinji's room and say Asuka in the entrance panting. "Welcome back…" said Misato weakly.
"S-sorry…. That…I'm… late…" said Asuka again with gasping for air while speaking it.
"No worries."
Then Asuka took a moment to catch her breath. Then finally she said, "Why were you doing in Shinji's room? I thought that you weren't going in there until he came back?"
Misato then came up to Asuka and grabbed her shoulders, "Now Asuka, I need you to not to over react."
"What's going on Misato?" asked Asuka with concern.
"I'll tell you if you promise that you won't over react," said Misato.
"Alright."
"His back…" said Misato, "His back… Shinji's back."
"Are you joking?" asked Asuka.
"No I'm not… if you don't trust me see in his room right now…" said Misato letting her hand go.
Then Asuka went to Shinji's room to see that the Third Child was sitting up in his bed with bandages around his forehead and both his arms. "S-Shinji…" mumbled Asuka.
Asuka was about to run and hug him but Misato held her back. When Asuka looked at Misato, the guardian shook her dead as if saying 'no' to an answer. "There's something you should know first… lets speak in the kitchen."
"Why can't we talk here?" asked Asuka.
"You'll know why if you follow me to the kitchen," said Misato dragging Asuka to a table.
"Alright, what is going on?" asked the red head.
"Shinji… isn't Shinji right now…" said Misato with some sadness in her voice.
"What do you mean his not Shinji right now?" yelled Asuka with confusion.
"H-he…" now Misato started to cry, "He lost his memories, and he won't even speak to us."
Asuka was shocked… "Wha-how did this happen?"
"It happened while in Germany's NERV."
"Wait he was in GERMANY?" yelled Asuka as she stood up. "How long did you know about this?"
"J-Just a few hours ago…" said Misato as she stopped crying.
"Why would they take Shinji?" asked Asuka.
"We don't know… but they did conduct some kind of experiment on him…" said Misato.
"B-But why Shinji?"
"Since he was the key instrument to the third impact so I guess it's only natural…" said Misato.
"But why Germany?" asked Asuka.
Then a different voice answered, "Because they are involved with SEELE…"
When they looked to the source of the voice, they saw Kaji. "What are YOU doing here?" asked Misato, "And HOW did you get in here?"
"Your door was opened… and I was sent here to tell you that your sentence is up… your finally free to leave the house…" said Kaji
"Let me guess you came here to ask me out…" said Misato.
"Oh? You think that I'll come at this kind of situation hoping that I can get a date with you Misato? No… I'm here to also tell you that the Commander is requesting Shinji to try to sync with the EVA within 2 days…"
"WHAT 2 DAYS?" yelled Asuka, "HAVE YOU SEEN HIS CONDITION? HIS NO WERE NEAR TO BE ABLE TO PILOT THE EVA!"
"It's his orders, not mine," said Kaji, "It was a please seeing you again Asuka and my lovely Misato." Then he left.
"So we have 48 hours to try to fix Shinji or his screwed for the sync test…" said Asuka
"So it would seem… Asuka, I'm going to need your help, I need you to play hooky from school within that time…"
"You didn't even need to say so…" said Asuka.
Then they looked at each other… "How should we approach him?" asked Asuka.
"Lets first get him some food…" said Misato. "It's near 6:30."
"Yea…" said Asuka. Then she notices Misato heading towards the stove. "And what are you trying to do?"
"Cooking," answered Misato.
"Ooooh no… you're not cooking…" said Asuka.
"Why? Are you actually showing some kind of feeling for him now?" asked Misato.
"W-well…. I-It's… *sigh*… yes I am…" said Asuka with a little blush.
Misato gave her a big smile, "Good, at least you finally opening up a little."
"Hmph! Well at least I don't drink like 3 dozen amounts of beer per day!" said Asuka.

Yea, yea I know I still make some grammar and spelling mistakes but I could careless if you guys give a big lecture saying that I need to fix my grammar and such. And EvaGeek: if you have watched the End of EVA in the beginning, he pretty much raped Asuka while she was in the hospital with her coma. And thank you all for your reviews! I hope that I didn't get boring with this chapter… if it was I'll try better on the next one! PLEASE REVIEW! And suggestions will be welcomed!
