Evangelion: You Shall (not) Win This Time

02: You Must (not) Turn Into A Giant Ape

(Warning: all properties belong to their respective copyright holders/ creators. Eva to Anno, Reality Warpers to Yoshi3000, you get the idea)

Tokyo 3, nowhere else in the world of EVA will you find a more retched hive of scum and villainy (or at least one with a public face to it). It was here that my plan to change the fates of many for the better would take fruit. However, there were still a few places I needed to go and visit before I could even think about putting any of my plans into action first. The first stop: Order of Reality headquarters. One thing I had to give 'em: for a bunch of bureaucrats, they really dug themselves a nice place to set up shop and call home. Marble flooring, massive indoor fountains, some of the best pictures that Deviantart ever had to offer all on the walls, these guys knew how to make a place look fancy. I walk along the main halls with Tulio acting as my guide before we manage to reach the main council room which housed the head honchos of the order: Bat-Mite, Mr. Mxyzptlk, Rebecca Dill, and their leader Jeremey Kris. (Do keep in mind that this story takes place in between Yoshi3000's "Aftermath of Anistar" and the time that most of the Blackthorn children are early on in their journeys, so Katsumi Blackthorn II isn't apart of the council yet) It was then that Kris was the first to approach me.

"Hard to believe that the rumors have come to fruition, and a new level 10 Warper has come to be. You know what I find strange? Your registrations states that you're from Earth Prime, but you somehow obtained the tail of a Saiyan from the worlds of Dragon Ball."

I simply and bluntly reply by saying "I was seriously hoping that you guys would have an answer to this. Do you at least know anyone who does know about stuff like this?"

Now, old Jeremey had to think about it for a few seconds before he finally told me "You know, I think I know just the guy. And he happens to be one of the best doctors in all of Warper-dom. Bat-Mite, make the call."

The SD version of Batman conjures up a paging system out of nowhere before he goes on saying "Paging Dr. Moltar. Paging Dr. Moltar. Where you at, hot head?"

It was a few seconds later that I hear the C. Martin Croker infused voice of a certain lava creature yelling out "Hold your damn horses, I'm coming, you little twerp!"

Bat-Mite wasn't kidding about who the doctor was as I saw the red and blue hazmat suit wearing alien from Space Ghost himself, Moltar walk into the room from a portal wearing a white doctor's coat and a stethoscope.

"Alright, whatdya' need this time? Someone come down with a case of Chronenberg?"

Jeremey responds by saying "No, nothing like that. We were actually hoping that you could give our newfound friend here the old go over to help with a little situation of his."

Apparently, news spreads pretty quick around here as Moltar instantly recognized my recent increase in ranking.

"Holy crap! They weren't joking around when they said that a new level 10 Warper came to be, were they?"

Bat-Mite responds by saying "Oh, the rumors are indeed true, my molten friend. This here is the newest Earth Prime born being to break into a fictional world, and reach the highest rank in all of Warper-dom. And what we need from you is to give him the old go over to see if his DNA was altered in any way during the transfer outside of the tail."

Moltar gives me a look before stating "Alright, let's see what we're dealing with here. Spread your arms and legs as far as they can go so I can do this properly."

The molten man of Hannah Barbera then pulls out a Rick Berman-era Star Trek medical Tricorder and gives me the quote unquote good old go over before checking out his findings. But of course, being the curious person that I am, I had to ask how he came to work for the order.

"Hey Moltar, I thought you were doing stuff with Blues Traveler after Space Ghost: Coast to Coast wrapped and went back to your home planet when you were done, how come you're working as a doctor for these guys?"

"Yeah, well after the last tour, I decided it was best to go out in search of new things in life, and working for these guys as a doctor for Warpers definitely beats solitary, or having to work for Space Ghost again. Sure, I could go back to my planet whenever I want and resume my old evil plans, but these guys pay pretty well so I said screw it."

Moltar scans the readings for a little while longer until he finally gives me the diagnosis.

"Alright, I think I know what happened. The reports say that he was struck with two bolts of dimensional lightning, right?"

Mr. Kris then responds by saying "That's right. According to the findings from the dimensional weather department, one bolt came from a Dragon Ball world while the other came from a version of Jiha Village from Gurren Lagann."

Moltar continues by going "Right. So, when you were struck with each of the bolts, your genetic code must have been altered during your transfer from Earth Prime to the Evangelion universe you landed in. Needless to say that it would be a pretty good guess to say that the alterations to your DNA have made you at least 25% Saiyan with some semblance of the ability to manipulate Spiral Energy thrown in for good measure, hence why you have the tail."

To which Rebecca chimes in and says "Yeah, you might want to get that removed before you go back to where ever it is that you're staying since I'm pretty sure that you don't want to turn into a Great Ape every time there's a full moon."

Which Moltar adds on by stating "Tail removal is a pretty simple procedure for Saiyans. All you really gotta do is just yank the thing off and it's over."

Well, it was worth a shot as I grabbed a hold of the simian bastard before I pull on it with all my might until I hear a popping noise before I open my eyes to see that I had successfully pulled the tail off. Well, at least that problem is out of the way now, but I had to take care of a few things before I could put my plans into motion. The big one being to learn how to control my new powers. I wasn't stupid, even I knew that guys like the Blackthorns had years of practice before they got their powers down pat, but the tough part about that: I only had about two months before the events of the series began, and I really wanted to get things moving by then.

"Listen, I kinda need to do some serious training to get my new abilities down pat so I can deal with something in the universe that I got stuck in."

Dill bluntly asks "You're trying to get rid of the angels faster than the EVAs ever could, aren't you?"

I respond by saying "Among other things. The big problem is that in that universe, I only have about two months before the third angel shows up to trash Tokyo 3. So, is there someplace or someone that I can go to in order to get the help I need?"

Kris tries to think of a few places and people who are available to suit my needs before he comes up with a few choices.

"Unfortunately, the Hyperbolic Time Chamber in Toki Toki Town isn't available until sometime next year due to a long list of reservations, so that's out of the picture for the time being. However, I think I know someone who can at least help you with basic Ki control, use and combat training."

The order leader then pulls up a file on a female Majin with dark grey skin and tendrils acting as her hair while her eyes were a vibrant sky blue.

"This is Mura Tenin, a retiring member of the Time Patrol who just so happens to be planning on visiting the many Evangelion timelines. We can set her up with a place in your timeline and have her meet up with you to act as a sort of coach if you wish."

I look over her file and immediately thought that having a seasoned veteran Time Patroller like her to teach me what I needed to know on how to use Ki and possibly Spiral Energy was better than nothing.

"While my original plan was to use the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to get in about 30 years worth of training in the limited time that I have, I'd be more than willing to settle for learning from a seasoned warrior like Ms. Tenin."

To which Kris replies by saying "Excellent. We'll have her meet up with you upon your return to your EVA universe. However, I must warn you that using Ki to defend yourself and fight isn't gonna cut it on its own. If you really want to hone your skills as a Warper, you'll need a few things. And luckily, we know just the person you can get them from."

"Do I even wanna know who it is?"

Mxyzptlk finally chimes in on the subject by stating "Considering that he might just become your go to guy for pretty much anything in the multiverse, then I'd say yes. Check the contacts on the phone you got from the gift basket."

I quickly pull out the phone I got from the aforementioned basket and pulled up the contacts list. I hadn't bothered to add any numbers other than Wynn's seeing as I really didn't need to at that point, but I did notice that one was already programmed in there for me that I didn't add: one that was simply listed as "Merch".

Mxyzptlk continues his explanation by stating "We'll have him meet up with you at one of the space ports, from there he can hook you up with everything you could possibly need to start out."

"Thanks for the tip-off. Anything else you wanna warn me about, or is this it?"

Kris replies "Nope, that's pretty much it. You can head to the space ports at any time if you'd like. And on an off note, I think I can speak for all of the council members when I say that it was a pleasure getting to meet you."

"Likewise."

I leave the room to let the council and Moltar go back to doing what they would normally do during the work day as I try to make my way to the space ports mentioned to me. The time had come for me to meet the Merch (for some reason, Team Fortress 2 music started blasting on the intercoms. Don't ask me why). It had took me a while, but after swallowing my pride and asking directions from a random Morty that was doing errands with his Rick (which reminded me to find a Rick of my own to do business with while I was still here), I had finally arrived at the space ports as I find myself staring down the hull of a ship that was pretty much an exact replica of the GPS Absolution 2.5 as someone who could only be described as a near identical version of the Black Lagoon character Rock save for a pair of bright green eyes wearing a 3 piece grey suit step out of the hangar that T.O.M. 3 and possibly T.O.M. 3.5 would have stored his personal space fighter jet.

"Well well well, the rumors about a new level 10 Warper showing themselves around here are true. Welcome to the club."

"I was told that you were the guy who could set me up with the stuff I need to be a decent Warper. At least I hope that you're the guy that I'm supposed to see."

"If you're looking for one of the best salesmen in all the multiverse with connections with the most powerful family in all of Warping, then yeah, I'm your guy. Step aboard my ship and we'll get you set up with what you need while you can take a look around to find anything you might like, for a fair price of course."

Why could I already feel like my wallet was gonna kick my ass for this? We step aboard the ship as I was taken aback by all of the things that were for sale on the ship: books, shows, gadgets, weapons and more galore. We stop in the center of the main weapons dealing room on deck 12 as Merch states "Why don't you wait here and take a look around for any weapons that you might like or need for...whatever it is you're planning on doing in the universe you wound up in, while I go get you the Warper essentials."

He then walks out of the room while I start taking a good look around at some of the weapons that instantly took my interest, some of which might just seem a tad bit unconventional. I mean sure, I took a close look at stuff like the version of the Rising Titan Sword that Kamen Rider Kuuga uses while in Ultimate form and Qrow's gunsword from RWBY in terms of melee weapons and firearms like the Gears of War Lancer or the many fire arms that are used by the USNC from Halo, but there were plenty of weapons in that room that didn't quite fit the status quo of what you would expect from weaponry. Of course you had example of such with the landscaping tool Death Scythes from Black Butler, the various Sheep-inators from the Ratchet and Clank games, trumpets that could make sonic booms just by being blown (get your heads out of the gutter), guitars that would make various things to happen depending on what song you played on it, and even some of RWBY's more stranger weapons like Velvet's magic camera. I keep looking for a little while longer until Merch comes back into the room wheeling in a butt load of stuff.

"Alright, I think this just about covers the basic Warper necessities: dimensional cable box, dimensional computer with access to Earth Prime and local dimensional internet, Nintendo Warpspark with a sizable amount of games, portal gun for getting around dimensions until you can master making portals on your own, unedited evidence against NERV and SELEE since I thought you might need something like that, all of the original EVA TV series, the End of Eva movie and the four Rebuild movies in case you're planning to make some of the characters there into Warpers too, and the complete "Every Skill a Warper Needs for Dummies" book series. Now then, find any weapons you like, or would you like me to make a few recommendations?"

I instantly grabbed a few weapons that caught my eye and added 'em onto the pile of stuff that Merch had wheeled in. Nothing too special, just the Ultimate Rising Titan Sword, a Minecraft diamond sword (just because), a Lancer Rifle, the Sword of Tengu from the 2003-2009 TMNT series with the special handling glove, a Dominator pistol from Psycho Pass since I thought that I would need a really good taser that could kill someone if they were crazy enough, and for reasons that even Merch had to ask me about: an Unmaker from Doom.

"Uh, not to judge your choice in weaponry, but why the Unmaker? Pretty sure that the angels aren't from hell, so this thing would be pretty useless against them."

I pretty much reveal my plans for it when I ask him "Know anyone who can modify this thing so it can take anything with an AT Field down in one shot?"

He replies to me by saying "I think I may know a guy. In fact, he and his assistant are here at the council headquarters doing some business right now, and they're meeting me here in a couple of minutes."

And of course, they guys he was talking about were the very same Rick and Morty that I talked to on the way to the space port. What a surprise. (And yes, they are the Rick and Morty of Earth dimension C-147, so this whole exchange takes place before the end of season 2)

"Merch, my glipglop, what's hanging?"

"Rick, my man. Have you met the newest level 10 Warper yet?"

Rick looks at me remembering who I was before going "Eh, kinda fits what I thought he would look like. Hey kid, pro tip: never clean out vials you use to store DNA with your spit. Learned that one the hard way."

Of course I knew that he was talking about the one time he and Morty crashed into 742 Evergreen Terrace and accidentally turned the Simpsons into piles of goo before having Morty go clone 'em so no one in town would notice (stupid Flanders did, but he got hit with a freeze ray and broke apart) while Rick stole everything of value from the house and helped himself to some of Homer's Duff. Because of them, I'm pretty sure that the show wasn't gonna allow any more guest animators for a very long time.

"So uh, y-ya' got that that (belch) stuff I asked for o-or (belch) what?"

Merch then pulls out a bottle before saying "Got it right here. Romulan ale, some of the best booze in the multiverse."

"Aw yeah, baby. This stuff ought to make for a (belch) good weekend bender. Morty Morty, the the thing. The thing, Morty."

"Aw geez, grandpa Rick. Y-you think that those Mega Seeds w-would be worth more than just another bottle of booze for you to get drunk with all weekend, you know? Considering that I was the one who had to risk his life to get 'em...again."

Merch then pulls something out of nowhere that looks like a manga and throws it to Morty.

"Here kid, a little something for your troubles."

I manage to get a closer look at it to see that it a freaking RWBY doujin involving Coco, Velvet, Blake and Yang. Morty grabs the doujin and trades off the Mega Seeds for the Romulan ale.

"Pleasure doing business with you guys. Hey, while you're here, my new client her could use a little help with something. Mind lending a hand?"

Rick looks at me again before going "Alright, what do you want?"

I take out the Unmaker from the pile before showing it to the dimension hopping drunk scientist before asking "Think you can modify this thing to pierce AT Fields and destroy an angel's core in one shot?"

Rick thinks about it for a short while before responding "Yeah, but to get the stuff I need to do it is gonna take time and money."

It was right there and then that I had thought of something regarding one of the stops I had to make later today.

"Back before I got sent to the EVA universe I wound up in, I sent in a good portion of fetch jobs to CherieRoseLoveless' show "Talk Time". You do this for me, and I can get you some original Robot Master blueprints. We got a deal?"

"Mmmmmeeeeeeah, alright, you got a deal. I can probably come up with something in like, a month or two."

I smile and say "That should be plenty of time."

I hand the gun off to Rick as he and Morty walk off the ship with their bounties in hand before I face Merch.

"Alright, how much do I owe you for all of this?

To my surprise, he responds by saying "Ya' know something, kid? I'm beginning to like the cut of your jib. And besides, I have orders from the council that say that this time's on the house, just remember that if you want anything else from me, it's gonna cost you. But on the plus side, should one of our transactions ever result in a trade of sorts, I'd be more than willing to give you 10% of the earnings as a "broker's fee".

Guess I couldn't complain about getting free stuff and the chance to make more money if I ever needed it, so I thank ol' Merch and use the portal gun to be off on my merry way with just one more stop I needed to make before I could return home to Tokyo 3.

The world of One Piece: where pirates roam the seas in search of the legendary treasure left by the late king of the pirates while trying to avoid a corrupt World Government. Lucky for me, where I was going, the government wasn't going to give me any guff. Back on Earth Prime, I knew from reading materials related to Warpers, if you wanted something obtained or dares done by pirates, there was one woman you had to go to: a woman by the name of CherieRoseLoveless, one of the few non-Blackthorn level 10 Warpers out there and apparently according to statements from other Warpers, a well known sexual deviant. I step out of the portal I made with the gun into the inside of her gigantic castle's main corridor, thinking that this was gonna be a simple in and out kind of deal...it wasn't. Next thing I know, I have about 10 of Boa Hancock's elite warrior women pointing blades at me with the intent to kill.

"State your business here or face your doom."

I had to think fast or I was a goner for sure, so I did the best that I could to collect myself and respond in the most straight forward way possible.

"Look, my beef isn't with you guys, or anyone in this world for that matter. I'm just here to talk to Mrs. Loveless and get some things that I asked the Straw Hats to hunt down for me on her show. Nothing more, nothing less."

Needless to say, they weren't buying it, considering that a blue haired one shoved their sword closer to my throat and bluntly said "Yeah, right. We aren't buying that until you can identify yourself."

"I guess news among Warpers doesn't spread as fast as I thought it did. Why don't you go check the dimensional news feeds, they can tell you just who the hell I am."

Hopefully that would buy me the opportunity that I needed to settle this without violence, but I still ran the risk that my updated level status wasn't fully registered yet with the order. One of them with black hair that I had to assume was the leader of this group ordered a blonde member to go check the dimensional news networks regarding information about anyone who looked like me while the rest still had their blades aimed straight at my neck. I had to try and cool down the situation, so I playfully ask "Aren't Amazons supposed to practice peaceful politics instead of the violent methods of man?"

All I get out of it is a red headed one getting snippy with me as she replies "That's only the ones from the DC multiverses, you chud."

The stand off goes down for about another minute before a voice yells out "What the hell is going on down there? My child is trying to sleep."

Down the stairs comes Mrs. Loveless herself wearing nothing more than a red mini kimono with a loosely tied sash to reveal a fair amount of cleavage.

"Mrs. Loveless, I presume?"

"You presume correctly. And am I to assume that you're the new hot topic among Warpers, "Mr. Bishops"?"

Loveless then calls off the guards before she and I can get to talking.

"Well, if you know who I am, then you probably know why I'm here."

"Let me guess, you want a go with some of my girls, don't you? I think that can be arranged."

I have to step in before things get anymore pervy as I state "Not that, at least not right now. What I'm here for is to collect some of the stuff that I had the Straw Hats go out and get for me in exchange for bounties on your show."

"Ah, a fan of the show. What do you want to claim, you posted bounties on a lot of stuff."

I have to mull over my options for a second before I come to the decisions of what I both wanted and needed to get from her.

"I'm gonna need the dimensional scissors, the DNA samples, the Robot Master and the Ra Calum blueprints."

"That all?"

"Yes, that'll be it for now, and I'll be picking up the stuff I request from your associates personally from this point on if that will be alright with you."

"But of course. Now then, your stuff is in the treasury. Follow me if you want to claim it."

The scantly clad Warper leads me to her main treasure room, which could only be described as Scrooge McDuck's coin vault on Steroids, PEDs and Crank. We stop at an area labeled "Reserved For DSX62415's Crap" before she opens the vault door for me. I had to say, I was rather impressed how well organized it was for being apart of the treasure room, and my surprise was further increased when she went as far as to make a special wing of the area just for the stuff I had requested on her show. Hell, it was even temperature controlled to make sure that the DNA samples were kept as fresh as possible.

"Here you go, take whatever you want or need for...whatever the hell it is that you're planning on doing with this stuff."

I grab the stuff that I needed before walking out of the room as she closes the door.

"Thank you for letting me get this stuff, it'll make my plans for the EVA universe I'm inhabiting go a whole lot easier."

"No problem, but I gotta ask: you're level 10 now, why do you still need the dimensional scissors?"

I playfully answer her question by asking one of my own: "Were you able to open and close dimensional gateways to places on your own when you first got your powers?"

Which she replies by stating "Good point."

I didn't even have the heart to tell her that I had gotten a portal gun from Merch and used it to get here in the first place, but in reality, I still needed those scissors in case the gun ran out of power and I was stuck in a place where I couldn't charge it back up. As soon as we were back in the corridor this whole sequence started in, I was ready to leave and get my crap together before meeting with this retired Time Patrol member so I could begin my training. I quickly put those dimensional scissors to good use by cutting open a dimensional gateway to my Tokyo 3.

"Thanks again for the stuff. If I need anything else from you or the Straw Hats, I'll be in touch."

I was about to step through the portal I had made before Cherie had stopped my by saying "Just one more thing before you go."

I reply by bluntly asking "Is it about wanting me to plow someone for your perverted desires?"

Which she playfully responds by saying "My, aren't we the cheeky one? No no, what I want is that if you one of the Blackthorn children ever pop into your universe, tell 'em Cherie says "hello"."

"I think I can do that."

I step into the portal, leaving the world of superpowered pirates behind for now as it became time for me to return to my version of Tokyo 3. I did hope that the maids were able to get here safely in my absence, having told them to board the VTOL that would be coming for them earlier that day while loading some of the stuff from the Vegas penthouse on board so we wouldn't have to make more trips back there then we needed to while I had to tie up some loose ends in town before getting on my own flight later that day. I had popped up beside the VTOL that was supposed to take them here, making it look like I had came out of the open hatch. Quickly switching out the scissors for my phone, I decide to call Wynn and waited for her to pick up.

"H-hello?"

It was her alright, I respond by going "So, how'd the trip go? Did you girls manage to get to the penthouse that was set aside for us alright?"

I hear her say that everything went down relatively smoothly, and that her and her roommates had begun the process of moving things into the penthouse, but they were awaiting my arrival so I could figure out where certain things would go.

I respond to hearing that by saying "Okay, hold tight. I'm on my way there now with a few things that I had to pick up before I could come here. I can be there within the next hour or so, but I'm gonna need you to send a limo for me."

She tells me that she can make it happen and that it'll be about a half hour before it can arrive at the airport that I was at.

"Good enough, I'll see you three there in due time. Goodbye."

I end the call as I wait for the guy to show up, deciding to crack open one of the books that Merch had given me: "Beginner's Energy Manipulation for Dummies". Now, I wasn't too big of a reader save for fanfics back on Earth Prime, but I did get into what I was reading pretty quickly, knowing that I was going to need every little bit of info I could get for when I started training on the subject. About 30 minutes later, and the limo finally shows up as I begin to load up my valuables in the back before getting in myself. The drive only took about another 15 minutes before I find myself in front of the Tokyo 3 Mirage hotel, considered to be the best in the city with a five star rating. The receptionists were quick to let me in as one of the bellhops wheels the boxes of stuff I had gotten from Merch and Mrs. Loveless carefully to my room while I take the elevator up to the top floor. This place was just as extravagant as the one I woke up in after the transfer, if not better: 70" UHD television, two full spa bathrooms, three large bedrooms, indoor theater, heated swimming pool on the balcony, this place had the works and then some. The bellhop had arrived shortly before I did and started placing the stuff into the room as gently as possible, and thank god he did because who the hell knows what would happen if some of that stuff was handled too roughly. I decide to check out the new digs for a bit before some of the more major stuff set up, pick out my personal bedroom, set aside some of the things that I would rather hide from the maids until the time was right, stuff like that...well, that was until I heard light noises coming from one of the bedrooms. I slowly make my way to the room where the noises originated to find that the door was only opened by a slight crack before sneaking a peek at what was causing it. What I found was Wynn nestled in between dimensional counterparts of "Eria the Water Charmer" and "Lyna the Light Charmer/Mila the Temporal Maiden" under the bed sheets taking a nap. Now, I didn't need to be a reality altering super being to know just what was going on here: that in this universe, one of my favorite fanon LGBT Yu-Gi-Oh TCG polyships was legit, and it was happening right under my roof. (Don't judge me, people on the internet can thing of far more perverted stuff than this) Oh lordy, were the Yu-Gi-Oh "Charmer" fanboys gonna be jealous of me if they ever found out about this. I didn't want to disturb them, so I just went back to unpacking the good stuff, replacing the normal cable box for the dimensional one before plopping down on the couch and trying to find a channel that aired the early seasons of Ball Fondlers so I could catch up with the new stuff. Once I had felt that I had done enough unloading of things for the day, I chose to get ready for bed, knowing that I would have to be on the look out for when that Time Patrol veteran I'm supposed to be trained by appears. Well, it seems that even just thinking about plot context was big enough to trigger a phone call as I pick up my cell phone to see who it is.

"Yes?"

"Well, you were easier to track down than I expected, Mr. Bishops."

"Who is this?"

"Why don't you check right next to you?"

I look to my side to see that Mura not only let herself in, but was sitting down on the armchair beside the room's southeast corner, which causes me to jump back a bit in shock while she just ends her phone call.

"How'd you get in here unseen when this whole building is swarming with people, let alone the whole city?"

She gets out of the chair before she responds by saying "Instant Transmission and Ki masking, nifty little tools to have if you plan on laying low here like I am. You the new Warper the order asked me to train?"

I manage to regain my composure before saying "That depends, you the Majin Mura Tenin from the Time Patrol?"

"Formerly of the Time Patrol, I just recently retired."

I'd probably have to ask about stuff like that sometime in the future, but now wasn't the time for that. Now was the time to address just what in the name of all that is holy is going on right now.

"Right. So I'm guessing you're here to tell me that my training begins soon, right?"

She responds by stating "We can begin tomorrow at the earliest, but until then, I need to know just what I'm dealing with here."

She then pulls out a violet lenses Scouter from her pockets and places it on her right ear before activating it so she could read my current power level, to which she was surprised.

"Hmmmmmm...strange. Says here that you currently have a power level of about 5100, something not seen very often, even with Warpers who've just begun to learn about their powers."

I try to help figure out why it would be that high until I realize something before I respond to her stating "It might be because of the amount of Spiral Energy that I got when the dimensional bolt from Jiha Village hit me. Either it's that or something that even I don't know about yet, something like that."

She mulls over the situation too before she snaps out of it and says "Don't worry about it for right now. For the time being, I suggest that you get some rest and maybe try meditation to help get your Ki under control, because starting tomorrow, you and I are gonna be working very hard to help you control your new powers, Ki based or otherwise."

Not knowing just what I was in for, I can only reply "See you tomorrow then."

She nods and uses Instant Transmission again to leave the room without being seen, leaving me to crack open "Beginner's Energy Manipulation for Dummies" again to find the chapters regarding how meditation and energy control mix. After reading about it for a short while, I decide that it would be worth a shot to at least try it in case I needed to know how it works during my training. Little did I know that when the morning came, I would be in for the roughest work out of my entire life.

(Well, there you have it. Next chapter, my training begins and I interact with at least one NERV employee for the first time. Until then, thank you for reading, don't forget to favorite, review and follow, and until next time, DSX62415, out.)
