Prologue
It was two years after Shinji defeated the last angel. Everything has returned to normal......
NERV headquarters has been demolished, the geo-front forgotten by all but a few......
Shinji is still living with Misato, who's still up to her old antics. Still drinking cans of beer each morning......
Asuka is slowly recovering from her ordeal, her life returning to normal......
Rei is struggling with life, still questioning her own existence. Well.....
Gendo Ikari has, after a while, accepted the fact that the Human Istrumentality Project has been foiled.......
Tokyo-3 has been upgraded, now without the reliance of so much electricity......yet, it seems strange that NERV still exists......waiting for something.....
Now.....a new person has entered the scene.....a mysterious person..with no records of his existence, yet........Shinji feels so close to him....like he is his brother, or something else.
The mysterious disappearence of a city in America in such short time can mean only one thing.........they have returned.
Chapter 1: The Past and the Present
Shinji was lying in his room. He was staring up into the ceiling, thinking of the lat few years. The years that made him what he is. He has seen death so many times, fought against all odds, yet he is still alive. "Well, at least I'm not suffering.....much."
Asuka entered his bedroom. "God....how lazy can you get?" She approached Shinji, who was ingnoring her, which was, to Shinji's satisfaction, was making her angry. "Get....up....you...lazy.....asshole!" she shouted, slapping him repeately after every word.
"Hey...getoff....bitch..ow!" Shinji repiled, and in the process, Asuka Kicking him pretty hard. "What is your damn problem? I can't believe...."
"Believe what? Eh, Shinji?" Her puffed-up face was too much for Shinji. He was about to burst out laughing, yet his mind said better.
"Err...nothing. Let's get breakfast, shall we?" He got up, put on his shoes, and followed Asuka to the kitchen. She sat down. Shinji followed suit. Misato was already making what looked like instant noodles for the both of them. Several empty bottles of beer was lying beside her.
"She's upgraded. At least they can be reused...." Shinji muttered. Asuka was giggling. Misato has finished. She placed two bowls of noodles (well, they do look like noodles, Shinji thought) and two pair of chopsticks on the table. "Err......enjoy." Misato said to the both of them. Shinji looked at the bowl with uncertainty. "Why aren't you eating this Misato?" he asked.
"Well.......I'm full."
"WHAT?! How can you be full? You haven't ate anything yet!"
"Sorry.....I've gotta go. Bye....." She walked out the door. Asuka had already eaten a mouthful, and was choking, apparently. "WHAT.......DID....SHE....PUT...IN...THESE?!" she shouted, as she rushed to the fridge and opened a bottle of beer.
"Umm.....looks like a whole tin of chilli." Shinji pointed out. "Suckers........." He knew no more.
Shinji woke up, and saw Asuka lokking over him. "Sorry.....must had hit you pretty hard......"
"Err.....that's okay. That wasn't pretty hard." He got up. "Let's go....."
They were walking down a street which Shinji did not know. "It's pretty quiet here....."
"Yeah. It's not to my liking. No one to beat up......"
"So....you like to bash me..."
"Oh yeah....." Before she knew it, Shinji tripped her. She fell face-first to the ground. "Suckers...." Shinji said, before sprinting away.
"I'll get you......."
Shinji woke up in a hospital ward. Misato, Touji, Rei and Asuka was sitting beside him. "How....did I get here?"
Misato was the first to answer. "It seems that you were hit pretty hard in the back of the head by a blunt object."
"Really......" He suspiciously looked at Asuka, who was looking determinely at the ceiling. "Listen, Shinji, I've gotta go now. Seems that there is an unidentified object sighted near Bismarck. Bye." She kissed Shinji in an adult-like way. "Hmm......you're a pretty good kisser." Touji rose, grinning. "'Damn.....you're so lucky!"
"How am I?" Shinji replied, also grinning. "I'm llying in hospital, and you're saying that I'm lucky?"
"Yeah........" Touji replied wistfully. "Well........here's your schoolwork." He threw the papers into his face. "See ya." Th walked out, muttering to himself. Rei followed. That left Asuka sitting with Shinji. "Get lost........" Shinji angrily said. He pointed to the door.
"Shinji.....I'm really sorry......"
"Get out......."
"Please......."
"That was then. This is now. I've grown wiser. You're still the same, old, Asuka. I'm sick of it........"
"Fine. I'm off. Idiot." She angrily slapped Shinji, and walked off.
"Typical, old Asuka." Shinji grinned. "Such a sweet, bad-tempered girl....."
Chapter 2: The Past catches up.......
Misato and Ritsuko were at the front gate of the newly-built NERV facility.
"So.....what do you think?" Misato asked.
"Pretty good......not like the old facility."
"Yeah......I have to agree. Its more armored, and has better defensive systems. I also believe that they have developed a new super computer."
"Really?" Ritsuko said, as two NERV employees passed them, entering the fortress. "What is it called?"
"I don't know.......haven't bothered asking. Let's go inside......"
Misato fumbled for a Security card. "I'll do the honours." Ritsuko said. She swiped the card over the scanner, which took a moment for vertifying. The doors opened. They both entered and walked down to Sector 34, where the main lifts were. "Now where do we go?" Misato asked.
"Well.....I don't know. I'm new here, ain't I?"
"Oh yeah......"
After half an hour, they finally reached the main control room. There, they met some familar faces. "Hi Commander," Misato looked around. There was Makato Hyuga, and Maya Ibuki, two old workmates. There was also a couple of new faces. Well, thats a bit of an understatement. "So....how long was this place operational?" Ritsuko asked Makato. "Oh....about five months. There has been some disturbing signs of Angel activity is some places, all not proven, so...the UN decided to rebuild this place in case......"
"I understand." Ritsuko turned to Maya. "It it tru? A new super computer has been developed to replace the MAGI system?"
"Yes. The new system is approximetly fifty-times more powerful then its predecessor."
"So what is it called?" Misato asked.
"No name has been attributed to the system yet."
"Ok then. What's the condition of the EVAs?"
"EVA-00 is about eighty-eight percent complete. The new S2 engine has been installed, and tested. EVA-01 is one-hundred percent ready, and EVA-02 is ninety-eight percent complete."
"That's excellent news. Any infomation of Gendo Ikari?"
"No. Gendo is on the run from the UN.."
"The UN?"
"Yes, the UN. No one knows his current whereabouts. They all think he is in the mountains."
"Ok.....lets test the new system now." Ritsuko butted in.
"Yes Commander......."
Shinji was released from hospital. He was walking home. Asuka was walking behind him. She apparently didn't notice. Neither did Shinji. He turned around, and saw her walking pretty slowly, staring at her feet.Suddenly Shinji thought of something. Smirking, he picked up a small rock, and took aim. He threw the rock, just when Asuka looked up. It hit her squarely between the eyes. There was a scream of pain, then he heard her shout, "Screw you Shinji! I'm going to kill you!!" and she ran after Shinji, who was pretty suprised at her charge. He ran, faster than her,shouting, "Hey Asuka! Suckers....you can't catch me........"
He stopped just outside the entrance to the apartment, and waited for her. about five minutes later Asuak arrived, panting. "Why did you do that, Shinji?" SHe rubbed her forehead.
"I thought it was pretty funny...."
"PRETTY FUNNY?!" Shinji cowered in fear, as she was shouting her head off. "YOU DON'T KNOW......ah forget it. You don't....understand."
She opened the door, and walked inside. Shinji stood outside, thinking of what he just done. After a while, he decided to say sorry. He walked inside and went to his room. There, he went up to his bed, and lay there. This was just like before.....so what? He could just commit suicide, and life wouldn't be so bad.......but, there was so much to live for........
The door opened. It was no one. Shinji lay there, pondering his thoughts. He decided to get up, and have dinner. As he got up, out of nowhere, Asuka appeared in front of him. He bumped into her. His lips touched hers. Then he felt a surge of pain, as she slapped him. "What was THAT for?" she demanded, as Shinji felt his right cheek.
"Well....you just appeared in front of me! What the hell do you expect me to do?"
"Move back! You're just like Touji! An arrogant, selfish bastard!"
"Well....ok then. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I've done to you."
"Well...fine. What are we having?" She sat down at the table. "Hopefully Misato's not cooking."
"Yeah......that was funny....."
"Shut up, Shinji."
Shinji sat down at the table, directly opposite Asuka. He pulled out his cd-player, put the earphones in his ears,and started listening to it. "Well...got rid of your walkman I see."
"Yeah. Got it for a good price."
The door to their apartment opened. Misato, and Ritsuko entered. "Why are you here?" Asuka asked.
"Important business." Ritsuko immediatly answered.
"Does it involve the EVAs?" Shinji asked. Everybody looked at him.
"After dinner." Misato replied. "We'll tell you after dinner. And where did you get that CD-player?" Shinji shrugged. "Kids..." Misato muttered.
As it turns out, Misato cooked the same really spicy noodles. Asuka looked at Shinji. Ritsuko looked at the food in front of her with uncertainty. "What is this supposed to be?" she asked Misato.
"Noodles, duh."
Ritsuko took the chance, and ate a mouthful of these noodles. Asuka and Shinji looked at her. "Good luck,"Shinji muttered.
