Chapter 11:Cross Roads (Brandyn's POV)
"What's going on here Mari?" I ask in the most confident voice I could muster. This was all a facade though because inside I was shaking like a leaf, though who wouldn't be in this situation. I mean a teammate and a friend has a gun up to my head. Mari doesn't say anything though she just pokes the gun into my back presumably leading me towards...somewhere.
Normally I would yell for help but it's pretty easy to kidnap someone when the streets are abandoned. After a few minutes of walking she leads me into a building. It looks like a normal warehouse, only with a table and chairs in the middle of the room. From the looks of it this was abandoned long before the current angel attack, speaking of Mari doesn't seem very concerned about the eldritch abomination that could possibly cause the apocalypse if not killed.
I look around and see Touji and Kensuke laying on the floor. "Are they..." I fight the panic building inside me. "Don't worry they're not dead, just unconcious." a male voice responds. I mentally breathe a sigh of relief, before looking around the room for the voice. "Kaji?!" I yell in surprise upon seeing him. "Nice to see you too." He says good naturedly while giving a little wave. I feel the gun withdraw from my lower back. Kaji, Mari, and I sit down.
"Sorry about the hostility before I suppose I should reintroduce myself, Mari Makinami Pilot of Eva Unit 05 and agent for the European government." Mari says. "So what exactly do you want?" I ask. "We just want to talk." Kaji says. "Oh don't give me that, you want something." I reply. "Information." Mari says blandly. "What exactly leads you to believe that I would hide anything from you guys?" I ask. "You may be cute but you're not very bright, did you seriously think noone would question the fact that you're supposedly a random amnesiac? And even if you did think of a more convincing lie there are tons of other things that gave you away. When talking with Shinji and the gang your words always seemed a bit...perfect. Almost like you knew them for years and knew exactly how to deal with them. Plus did you really think that noone noticed you staying up all night, and then there's this." Mari finishes while throwing a piece of paper at me.
It bounces off my head and it lands in my hands, I uncurl it and find that it's one of my failed plans. That feeling of panic is coming back. If Mari could see right through me this easily, then imagine what plans Gendo has already made to get rid of me. Kaji being the good cop in this situation tries to calm me down, "Look if you're plans are to be believed we're all on the same side here. Your information could help us tremendously." I take a few deep breaths before finally replying, "Alright look I can't tell you how I know but I will tell you this, I know what's going to happen, there have been some deviations but for the most part I can see the future, and I've been trying to prevent Third Impact." after that I started to tell them everything, what I know, deviations from the timeline, and what's to come.
"So Seele and Gendo are just using the pilots for their own sick needs!" Mari yells. I nod sadly, "It must've been tough knowing all this." Kaji says. I look back at Kensuke and Touji, "What do we do with them?" I ask. "Well we'll just tell them that they were knocked out during the angel attack." Mari says. "I guess that makes sense, by the way shouldn't we be worrying about the angel." I say just remembering it. "What don't you have faith in Rei, Shinji, and Asuka?" Kaji questions.
Yeah I'm splitting this up into 3 mini parts. It just makes the most sense because 3 completely different events are going on right now in the story.
