Episode Two-And the Fallen Will Rise Up

 

“Mommy!  Mommy!  Mommy!  Can you drive me to school today?”  Misharo, the cute, three-year-old daughter of Kasana’s runs into the kitchen.  With a good night of sleep and the feeling of a new day, she has become very hyper.  She jumps into a kitchen chair before Kasana responds.

 

Still disturbed from the night before, Kasana hides it and says with a smile, “Oh, you silly!  I always take you to daycare.”

 

Misharo says in slight surprise, “No Mommy!  Not daycare!  School, you take me to school everyday!”

 

“Alright, Mishi.  You ready to go?”

 

“Yup!”

 

“Let’s go then.”

 

****************************************************************************

 

A few minutes later, they’re both in the car, driving towards the daycare.  After a long time of silence, Misharo speaks up, “Mommy?”

 

Kasana looks in her rear-view mirror and asks, “Yes dear?”

 

Misharo, looking away from her mother’s eyes, asks quietly, “Why were you crying in my room last night?”

 

In shock, Kasana says, “Mishi!  You heard me?”

 

Misharo says, “Yeah and who wrote those nasty things, Mommy?”

 

Just at this time, Kasana pulls the car up to the daycare.  Both get out of the car and Kasana picks her daughter up in a hug.  In between hidden tears she says, “Oh Mishi…  Don’t let that worry you a bit.  Mommy’s already fixed it.  You’ll be fine.”

 

In a small, yet, almost comforting voice, Misharo says, “Thanks Mommy.  I love you, but the bell’s about to ring.”

 

Kasana kisses her head, puts her down, and says, “I love you too.  Be good.  See you at five.”  She watches Misharo walk off into the building.  Then she gets back in the car a drives off.

 

 

****************************************************************************

 

Some time later Kasana arrives at the ORE building.  As she walks through the parking garage, she is met by five men dressed in black suits and sunglasses.  When they block her way, she says to them in an annoyed tone, “Would you all get out of my way?”

 

Then man in the middle says methodically, “Mr. Yuna has asked that we personally escort all branch heads to the R.L. Elevator.”  Without waiting for her response, two of the men take her arms and they lead her through some large corridors and then to a large platform.  The platform seems completely surrounded by darkness, but when the door closes behind them, lights fill the room and the platform begins to lower.  After a few seconds, the platform stops and then shoots forward, jerking all the occupants back.  Kasana shouts out, “Where the hell are we going?!”

 

One of the men in black responds, “We’re going to the ORE operations office.  Now, please be quiet and cooperative the rest of the time until we arrive at Mr. Yuna.”

 

After a short time, the platform stops and they begin a long trek through laboratories, computer rooms, and empty test chambers.  They pass nothing of great importance, but Kasana’s fears continue to heighten.  Finally, one of the men says, “Go through this door.  Mr. Yuna will be waiting.”  With that, the group walks off, without Kasana, in the direction they came.

 

As they leave, Kasana walks through the door.  She first marvels at the size of the room and she begins to look at a large white mass on the left side, but she sees Sinoto.  With a short dash, she arrives next to him with an angry glare on her face.  As he begins to turn, she yells at him, “Sinoto, we need to talk!  Now!”  When she finishes, Kasana notices those around him.  These people include Surata, Hirotaki, Ryshiro, and an unknown man.

 

Sinoto calmly responds, “Perhaps you should first recheck your surroundings?”  He the gestures towards the white mass she had seen.  With a second glance, Kasana realizes that it is the head of an Eva.  It resembles Eva-01 in the face’s appearance other than the mouth being sealed closed, white instead of purple, and it’s eyes glow a dull red.

 

Kasana falls to her knees at this sight and can only utter, “Oh God…  What have they done?”  She stares blankly at the menacing face for a few seconds.

 

When Sinoto’s patience runs out, he gives a few, brief, orders, “Ryshiro, get Kasana on her feet and go to the test control chamber.  Hirotaki, get our pilot suited up and ready for the test.  When you’re finished, come up to the chamber with us.  Surata lets go.”  After saying this, Sinoto and Surata leave through a far door.  Hirotaki also leaves with the unknown man, but uses a different door.  Only Kasana and Ryshiro remain.

 

Ryshiro kneels down to Kasana again and says, “Well, haven’t we done this before?”  Kasana only smiles in response.  Ryshiro continues, “Look, there’s nothing you can do know except keep them screwing up anymore.  Come on, let’s go.”  They both get up and go through the door Sinoto used.

 

****************************************************************************

 

In a few minutes, all of them have met again in the test control chamber, all except the man Kasana now believes to be the pilot.  Sinoto sits in a chair higher and farther back from where the rest of them.  The other four and assistants sit close to glass that separates them and the new Evangelion.  Machines that post the read out of the Eva and pilot’s vitals surround them.  Sinoto says one word and a great commotion commences, “Begin…”

 

All of the assistants begin to give an O.K. sign to Hirotaki.  When she receives a clear from them all, she speaks into a microphone, “Alright, Yokura.  We’re going to begin.  All you need to do is keep talking to us and do as you’re told.  Okay?”

 

A rough accented voice responds, “Yes ma’am.”

 

Hirotaki says to an assistant, “Start her up.”  After a few moments, the Eva’s eyes light up bright red.  Hirotaki then says into the microphone, “All we want you to do is to raise the Eva’s right arm.  Keep us informed as to what’s happening.”

 

After a few tense seconds, the right arm rises, but continues until it holds the Eva’s head like it was in pain.  From the speakers comes the stressed voice of the pilot, “It’s impossible…  It feels like…  Like it’s tearing my mind…  Apart.  I can feel its anger…  It’s…  It’s eating my mind---”

 

One of the assistants shouts, “His brain patterns are off the chart!”  Right after the assistant says this, Yokura screams through the microphone.  After a minute of screaming, the Eva slumps its shoulders limp and the pilot becomes silent.  The same assistant says in a shaky voice, “There’s no brain activity…”

 

All are silent before Hirotaki yells, “Come on people!  Half of you get the pilot out and help him!  The other half come with me and lets figure out what went wrong!”

 

In a few moments, only four remain to contemplate the events seen.  Kasana finally speaks up and says, “They’re going to tell you that a teenager is needed to pilot, Sinoto.”

 

Slightly surprised, Sinoto asks, “Why do you say that, Mrs. Tiro?”

 

She responds, “Only teenagers at the age of fourteen were able to pilot the original Eva.  You should read your bible more often…  Oh, wait!  That doesn’t matter to you, does it?”

 

Sinoto says, “Oh, I know plenty well about the age limit.  I simply wanted to see what would happen.  We already have a young man that would be more than happy to help.  Which reminds me, would you please pick him up for us?”

 

****************************************************************************

 

Kasana pulls up to the front of Eden’s high security prison.  She gets out and looks around.  The area around the prison is flat and barren so that any escapees can be easily shot and detained.  She slowly enters the building solemnly and goes through all the security checks.  Another woman, somewhat heavy and rough looking, takes her through some of the advance security zones to death row.

 

When they reach the visitor area, Kasana asks the guard in surprise, “This kid’s only fourteen and he’s on death row?!”

 

The guard only says, “You can ask him.  You’ve got only twenty minutes, though, you probably won’t want to use it.”  Kasana only nods as the guard lets her in.

 

Kasana walks into the windowless room.  There’s only a door, table, and two chairs in it and in one seat is the possible pilot.  He looks about three years older than he is with spiked brown hair, a five o’clock shadow, and a height of five eleven.  As he sits there, he glares at Kasana with a chiseled look.  She sits and there’s a moment of silence before she says, “Good afternoon.  I’m Kasana Tiro.  I’m here from ORE to see if you are interested in a special project that will not only get you off death row, but will allow you to help your city, country, and world.”

 

The young man coldly says, “Well, Miss Kasana…  The idea of getting away from the green mile is pretty nice.  ‘Specially since I’m on it for a crime I didn’t commit.”

 

Kasana says in wonder, “What were you accused of…  Uh…  I don’t think I got your name.”

 

He responds, “Shouldn’t you know it?  You came here to me.”

 

Kasana says, “ORE told all the guards I was coming.  I never needed your name.”

 

The teenager smiles and says, “Well then Miss Kasana…  The name’s Lee Tiachi.  I’m here on false charges of treason.”

 

In surprise, Kasana asks, “What do you mean?!”

 

Lee calmly says, “That’s not why you’re here, right?  Tell me what I have to do.”

 

Kasana replies, “I can’t give you the specifics here, but I can tell you that you’ll be a pilot of a different sort.”

 

Lee pauses for a moment then says, “Good enough.  Get me the Hell outta here.”

 

Kasana nods and they both rise.

 

****************************************************************************

 

A few minutes later, the two are in the car driving towards the ORE building.  Kasana begins to explain, “Look, Lee, you’re going to be a pilot of the first new Evangelion.”

 

Lee says in confusion, “I thought they were back in the days of Neon Genesis?”

 

Kasana asks, “You read the bible?”

 

Lee answers, “Of coarse!  Look, just because I spent the last three years in prison waiting for death, doesn’t mean I’m not a religious person.  Anyways, I was set up.”

 

Kasana inquires, “Who did it?”

 

Lee responds, “I don’t know…  Some freak from this company called NG2.  Guess I was at the wrong place at the wrong time.”

 

Kasana thinks out loud, “NG2?  What could that stand for?”

 

Lee says, “I remember him saying something like, ‘God in Heaven, all is right.’  That was right before he blew the city’s main generator.  Police thought I was a spy from Kaitinia.  Now look at me!  I’m going to pilot something that could kill us all!”

 

Kasana then explains to him what his missions will consist of.  She tells him of Asuka, Shinji, and the possible other angels.  She then adds, “Most likely, you’re going to be a tool towards world conquest.”

 

Lee pauses for a moment then asks, “You’re against this whole thing, aren’t you?”

 

Kasana replies, “Completely.”

 

Lee then says, “Then why are you on the project?  Money?  Benefits?”

 

Kasana answers solemnly, “It’s against my will.  The head director will take everything I have away if I quit.”

 

Lee waits again then says, “Well, guess we’re both in this for the long run.”

 

Kasana answers, “Guess so…”

 

****************************************************************************

 

An hour later, Kasana, Ryshiro, and an assistant to Ryshiro stand in front of the new Eva.  Kasana says, “The pilot might be a little rough around the edges, but he’s got a good head on his shoulders.  He’ll do fine.”

 

Ryshiro comments, “You sound like you want another failure.  All that’ll do is get another pilot in here to test it.  Sinoto’s got a huge list, eh Fyugi?”

 

Fyugi, Ryshiro’s assistant, young and inexperienced, is a man twenty-one years old with blonde hair and green eyes.  He merely replies, “Yes, sir.”

 

Ryshiro, a little annoyed with their moodiness, says, “Come on you two.  Loosen up a little.  What’s done is done.  Now we’ve gotta make the best of it.”

 

After this is said, Hirotaki and Lee walk in.  Lee is dressed in a black suit type of clothing.  A helmet, also black, has the visor up so his face can be seen.  Hirotaki says, “It’s time you all get up to the test control chamber.  Fyugi, will you take Mr. Tiachi to the enrty plug?”

 

Fyugi nods and begins to lead Lee out, but Kasana quickly calls to him, “You be careful, alright?”

 

Lee says before he leaves, “Hey, to the public, I’m already dead.  Doesn’t matter if I die here.”

 

Kasana goes to say something, but he walks out before she can.  She turns to the others and says, “Well, lets get up there.”

 

****************************************************************************

 

Everyone is once again sitting in the control chamber, including Sinoto and Surata.  The same process is repeated as last time.  Sinoto gives the signal to begin, the assistants all give the okay sign, and Hirotaki tells the pilot to raise the Eva’s left arm.

 

There is a brief pause before the Eva’s arm pulls up so that it is level with its shoulder.  From the speakers Lee says, “Man, this is easy.  A lot better than prison, I know that for sure.”  After saying this, the Eva begins to stretch its self and flex its muscles.

 

Hirotaki says into the microphone, “That’s enough, Lee.  We’re shutting her down.  Come on up here when you’re out.”

 

After a minute or two of silence, everyone breathes a sigh of relief.  Everyone other than Sinoto who says, “Mrs. Tiro, I have another favor for you.”

 

Kasana turns in the seat and asks, “Yes sir?”

 

Sinoto states, “I want you to give Lee food and housing.  Don’t worry, you’ll be paid extra to accommodate for him.”

 

Kasana starts to says, “But sir---” when Lee walks in.

 

He asks, “’M I interrupting somethin’?”

 

Sinoto tells him, “No Lee.  I was just telling Kasana that you will be staying with her.”

 

Lee looks at her, but she says nothing.  Kasana says to Lee, “Yeah, you’re still stuck with me.”  She continues to talk to Lee, but looks at Sinoto, “Lets go, before I get asked to do anymore favors.”
