Side Story 1: Shinji's Grand Plan And Several Recaps of the Story.
A boy stood up from his desk and closed his book, which was painted in black due to some unknown reason, and labeled as 'Grand Plan'. Opening his mouth to begin his introduction, the boy also bowed his head to greet the viewers.
"Greeting, people. Today is a great time to tell you all about my super evil master plan I've carefully planned from chapter 1! I see that a lot of you viewers didn't really understand my motives and reasons to capture the Angels' consciousness and store them in my soul. Well, let's get to the point then." The young Ikari snapped his finger. "Sachiel, please take out the projector, please."
Nodding, the Third Angel who was blending in the dark background walked out of the wall like a ghost, delivering the projector as Shinji had demanded. He excused himself and silently retreated out of the stage, leaving Shinji alone with the projector. Pressing a button, the projector vibrated a bit before starting to do its job, projecting the slideshow he made just ten minutes ago. The young boy pulled out his remote and pressed a button, changing the slideshow into a picture of Adam and a black version(literally pitch black) of himself wrestling. "Shit, wrong one." He clicked again and sighed in relief as the picture was now changed into a title, written as 'Shinji's Evil Plan To Have A Happy Life While Trying To Resurrect His Buddy From His Previous Life'.
"Okay, so first off," He pointed at the image appearing using the laser pen on his hand. "-my origin story is a little bit complicated. So I will summarize it so that you could understand quickly."
With another click of a button, the image changed into a time chart, with the first part consists of the part of Shinji's previous life of staring to the abyss' and the part where he met a another being called Adam and befriended him, got vaporized due to an event called 'The End Of Intrumentality' by Adam.
"I'm really sorry if you didn't see this event occuring in the new chapter 0. The author was being lazy and sleepy that time... Author!" He yelled and threw the script away from his hand. "I'm not reading this! It is your job to write the chapter consistently, not to skip important details like this and make me apologize in your behalf!"
A piece of bread appeared on the air and bowed apologetically before disappearing into thin air.
"That's acceptable. Oh well, let's get back on track." He continued. "So, the plan is actually very simple. According to Adam's knowledge, the Angels have one primary rule: No more than one Angel on the battlefield. They thought it was cowardice to bully the Lilins with their overwhelming force, so only one Angel is allowed to be active at a time. After an Angel is defeated, there is a temporary break between battles for both sides to replenish their forces until the next Angel's arrival. In order to the next Angel to arrive, the current Angel must be killed at all cost."
"So, Adam once said he didn't want his children to be killed brutally by the humans' hand and he wanted to at least meet his children face-to-face like a proper parent. And then there is my plan, to protect the Angels until Adam resurrected himself. So, first off, I can't just hide the Angel away. The next Angels won't arrive because the current one isn't dead yet, and my grand plan will be stopped. In order to achieve that, the Angels must be killed."
"Then boom, here's the catch. What is the thing that Angels' red cores are holding inside of it? Consciousness. Unlike humans, Lilins, the Angels do not have a soul as their mandatory prove of existence, they have Consciousness instead. So, when I, Shinji, used my black light to contact the core, I can pull the consciousness out and store them in my soul, which was unexplained because it will be spoiler to explain it now. Sachiel in chapter 2 and 3 is an example. However, my plan is currently at a halt because the sudden appearance of Seraphims. Which was unplanned beforehand because of a certain piece of bread." He rolled his eyes, looking at the fourth wall. "It's your turn now, Sachiel-kun. I don't want to stand here all day and blabber about continuity porn and butterfly effect."
The Third Angel reappeared on the stage with a pair of glasses on his skeletal bird mask and a stack of paper on his hands. "Yes, Uncle Shinji. Sachiel, the Angel Of Water, will be your host today."
Using his finger, he adjusted the glasses professionally. "Seraphims. What are they? Seraphims, as mentioned several times before in the previous chapters, are a special type of Angels who absorbed a part of the Spear Of Longinus, a.k.a Bane Of Adam. This part is called a Fruit Of Fulfillment, which made the Angels who ate it successfully tapped into their hidden power of evolution, perfecting their form. Currently, there was no explanation about how and where Shamshel got her Fruit Of Fulfillment, and Sachiel don't know either. The process of evolution is unknown to Sachiel, because Sachiel didn't experience the evolution during Sachiel's lifetime."
"Very good, Sachiel, please continue." Sitting at the couch, Shinji gave the Angel a thumb up while eating a cheese sandwich, which was very much foreign in this fanfiction about a Japanese manga. He ignored the issue and continued to eat the sandwich.
"So, according to our current information," He grabbed the remote and began to scroll down, showing a picture of Shamshel in her Angel Form and Shamshel in her Facade Form(human form), which shows a red-haired teenage German girl wearing a her iconic yellow sundress.
"Seraphims... do not have a core visible on their body. When Uncle Shinji was encountering with Shamshel for the first time, he successfully connected to Shamshel's core, but it didn't have a Consciousness. The core exploded shortly after, making us unable to retrieve Shamshel's Consciousness. After the event, we encountered Shamshel in her Facade Form once again at an abandoned parking lot and battled her. Her goal was to kidnap Shinji to this Lilin woman called 'Lord Longinus', who was her boss and most likely the one who gave Shamshel her Orb(or Fruit) Of Fulfillment. Inexplicably, Shamshel somehow had memories of this particular Second Child, most likely from the future or in another life, who had been Uncle's comrade to fight with our fellow Angels. She also stated that this Facade Form was from this Second Child, too."
"Interesting." Shinji commented. "It's weird that she didn't remember any name from those memories. The only major name we heard was Baka Shinji and Wondergirl. I'm also quite curious about this Lord Longinus she talked about. She said this Lord Longinus resembles this Wondergirl... Maybe I should ask her more about it later."
"I agree." The Angel nodded. "And Sachiel hope Sachiel won't be the only Angel in here at the end of the story. If every single Angel beside me was given a Orb Of Fulfillment and evolved to Seraphimhood, Sachiel will be very mad."
"You heard him, bread." Shinji said, finally finishing his last sandwich. "Don't let powercreep getting into this fanfic. It's already chaotic enough."
The Angel Of Water nodded wholeheartedly before turning off the projector and coming down from the stage. "This podcast is over for now, people. We will meet again... If time allowed us, that is. We will meet again in the next chapter."
"Goodbye, readers!" The boy waved at the fourth wall, and the Angel waved his hand as well. "Huh, I feel like I'm forgetting something..."
"NERV stuff." The Angel answered him. "Sachiel heard a new Commander is going to replace your father, Uncle. And you didn't do any sync test or training like the original timeline... because NERV was busy handling some secret affairs. Well, Sachiel hope the author wouldn't forget one of the most important detail of the story. He got sidetracked a lot."
"Ah, that's good. You heard him, author. Do your work properly!" Giving the author who was writing those lines a thumb-up, the kid smiled before nodding one last time to the audience and disappeared into thin air.
"Oh wait!" Reappearing again, the boy changed his voice into a high-pitched tone. "It's time for... Next chapter's Teaser!"
The dark surroundings suddenly shifted into one of NERV-Japan's secret Commander Room, showing Misato Katsuragi talking to a brunette wearing a metal mask. "Next time, on "And A New Path Opened": A new Commander appeared at NERV's headquarter!? Who is this Yui Ichijo... Wait a minute, where's Gendo!? Isn't he supposed to be here!? What is she talking about with Misato-san?" The surroundings changed once more, showing a water park and a certain Seraphim. "Eh!? Tokyo-3 has a water park?! And why is Shamshel wearing a bikini?! What the hell is 'thermal expansion'!? What the hell are you cooking, Author?!"
He he, first omake after several days of mysteriously disappearing from the internet. Very cool. Please R&R and have a nice day!
