Evangelion:
By: §Fallen Angel§
This story is based on the popular anime series, Neon Genesis Evangelion. It takes place six thousand years after the third impact. Though most of it is based on fact from the series, a few parts are of my own views on the series or my religious beliefs. Any similarity in names, cities, etc is purely coincidental. For those who read this in its entirety, I would appreciate it if you would e-mail me at neongenesisevangelion@home.com with your questions, comments, or concerns. If enough requests for the next episode come to me, I will post it as fast as I can. Thank you and enjoy.
Warning!
If you have not seen The End of
Evangelion, this may be confusing to you.
I will try to explain the events in summary during the story. I’m sorry for this inconvenience. If you want to see the movie, please e-mail
me at the address already given and I will be happy to send you a Real Player
version, fully translated. Thank you
once again.
Kasana
pulls up to the daycare and steps out.
She sees Misharo and heads in her direction as she dashes toward her
mother. Kasana scoops her up in a hug
and says, “Hey Mishi! How was your
day?”
Misharo
says with a large smile, “It was fun!
We learned more about the ABC’s and 123’s. How was your day, Mommy?”
Kasana
puts her down, shrugs, and says, “It was eventful… A lot of good… A lot of
bad… We got the project to work.”
Misharo
says gleefully, “I bet you were happy!”
With
another shrug, Kasana says, “Yeah, I guess I was.”
As
Kasana says this, Misharo looks around her and sees a shadowy figure sitting in
the front passenger seat. When her
mother finishes, she asks, “Mommy, who came with you?”
Kasana
looks at the car and says, “Well, let me go introduce you to him…” With that,
the two walk to the car and they both get in, Misharo in the backseat, Kasana
in the driver’s. Kasana looks at Lee,
who sits in the passenger seat and says, “Lee, I’d like you to meet my daughter
Misharo, or Mishi for short.” She then
says to Misharo, “Mishi, this is Lee.
He helped finish the project and he’ll be staying with us for a while.
Lee
smiles and says, “Hey Mishi, nice to meet ya.”
Misharo,
in her childish voice, responds, “Nice to meet you too, Mr. Lee.”
Lee
smirks and tells her, “Nah, just Lee is good.
I hate being called ‘Mr.’ something.”
She
smiles and says, “Okey-dokey Lee. So
you helped Mommy finish the project?”
Kasana
starts the car up and begins to drive as Lee answers, “Yeah, I did. How much has your mother told you about the
‘Project’?”
Misharo
gains a look of innocence and says, “She’s only told me that it’s top secret
and that it can bring us peace or war.”
Lee
smiles and reassures her, “It’s alright.
I was just wondering.”
Misharo
smiles and declares, “Okay. That’s
fine.”
Lee
turns around so that he’s facing forward again and sarcastically says, “Sounds
like you were a little more optimistic back when you said that.”
Kasana
glances at him with an unapproving look and says, “Funny. The project wasn’t about the Evangelion at
the beginning. At first, it was just
borrowing some of the systems so workers could control their machines
better. Even then, I had my doubts, but
now I find out that they’ve been using this as an excuse to make the second
generation of Eva.”
Lee
asks her, “You really hate them, the officials I mean, don’t you?”
Kasana
states, “I hate what they’re doing, not them.
They’ll bring Hell to us all with the Eva. By the way, do you even know the code name of your Eva?”
Lee
shakes his head and she continues, “It’s been named Eva-G, the Genesis of the
new Eva. Its nickname is what you make
it.”
Lee
smirks and says, “I’ll take that as my ‘If I screw up, everything is over for
you’ speech.”
Kasana
says, “Yeah, I guess you could call it that…”

“Shinji
and Asuka went out into the world, feeling separated from God. After a couple of days, the two found a
hospitable area to restart civilization.
They built a house out of timber and began to plant food they had
gathered along the way. They had three
sons, who they named Kouro, Kaji, and Gendo.
They also had three daughters, who they named Rei, Misato, and
Ritsuko. They named their children the
names of those closest or most influential to them.
“They
told them all about the old world. What
it was like and what ended it. Neither
had taken the time to write of the events and, when they told their youngest
son, Kouro, the story, he took it upon himself to complete God’s task. Though the meekest of the brothers, God
Himself showered Kouro with blessings.
In the years to pass, it was decided that two of the brothers would go
and find new homes at Shinji’s death.
The brother left would be the head of Shinji’s home.
“More
time passed and Shinji, at the age of nine hundred seventy-two, began to
decline in health. Kaji, the oldest,
and Gendo worked extremely hard the last few months of their father’s
life. This gave them little time to
talk with Shinji before his death.
Kouro, however, stayed with his father at any possible moment. They talked constantly of Shinji’s old life
and what mistakes Kouro mustn’t make.
“At
Shinji’s last breaths, all the family members stood at his bed, men and
women. Before them all he said to his
children, ‘As I have said many times before, I love you all and I want the best
for you. This is why I have decided
Kouro will take my place.’ The two
older brothers try to protest, but Asuka quiets them and Shinji continues, ‘I
send you two because I know you can do it.
I give my home to Kouro because he is the one who cared enough for me,
not my decision, to spend time with me.
I love you all and remember the mistakes we made…’ Those were Shinji’s
last words.
“After
mourning and seven days, Kaji left to the north with Misato and Gendo went
south with Ritsuko. Kouro and Rei were
left at the home to take care of Asuka and make their own family.”
“Neon
Genesis, Chapter 28 and 29”
Kasana
quietly closes the bible so that she won’t wake the now sleeping Misharo. She kisses her daughters forehead, rises,
and walks out of the room. Lee stands a
few feet down the hall, leaning on the wall.
Kasana asks quietly and sarcastically, “Been there long?”
As
Kasana closes her daughter’s door, Lee responds, “Long enough to hear the story
of Kouro again.” He smirks and walks
into the living room as she does.
Both
sit and Kasana says, “You know, for someone your age and in your position,
you’re very educated in the Bible.”
Lee
nods his head and says, “Yeah, I know.
I was born in a religious family, so it was natural for me to turn to
God when I was imprisoned.”
Kasana
remarks, “Good… Well, I hope you keep
that attitude as you pilot the Eva, ‘cause tomorrow starts your training.” She rises and then adds, “I’m going to
bed. You should to; the couch folds out
into a bed and there’s plenty of food in the kitchen. If you need anything else, don’t hesitate to wake me up.”
Lee
tells her, “Thanks, but I should be fine.”
****************************************************************************
The
next day, the two had already arrived in the ORE office building at eight
o’clock. Once again, the five men
dressed in black, greeted them. As they
approached, the “leader” of the group said to Kasana and Lee, “Mrs. Tiro, Mr.
Tiachi, if you’d please come with us.”
After
the same long journey, the odd group finally reaches the inner sanctum of the
ORE complex. Kasana and Lee then
proceed to Sinoto’s office. Following
five security checks, two encounters with secretaries, and a run in with
Surata, they stood in front of Sinoto.
The
room is large, white, and mostly barren.
The only things that decorate the room are a few relics and paintings,
depicting the old Eva, a desk, and three chairs. Sinoto himself sits in the seat behind the desk. He watches the duo as they enter and he
says, “Come in. Have a seat.”
Kasana
and Lee sit as Kasana begins to say, “What do you need Mr. Yuna?”
Sinoto
answers, “I wanted to speak to you and Lee about his future.”
Kasana
nods and Lee asks, “What about it?”
Sinoto
smiles and continues, “Well, you know as well as me that you can never enter
school again.”
Lee,
growing more sarcastic, says, “Yeah, it’s crossed my mind.”
Kasana
taps his knee and shakes her head at his actions, but Sinoto remains quite calm
and says, “Well, I’ve decided that you should be educated by those most
schooled in each subject. Kasana will
be your Biblical teacher and English teacher.”
Kasana
interrupts, “What? You’ve already got
me on this project against my will!
What else do you want?”
Sinoto
continues, “Your personal problems don’t concern me, Mrs. Tiro. All I want I want is your complete cooperation
or your employment here will be terminated.
Now, as I was saying… Ah yes,
Hirotaki will be you Math and Science tutor.
Lastly, Ryshiro will teach you History and foreign languages you may
need to know.”
Lee
only utters the word, “Fine…”
Sinoto
continues, “That’s all fine and good, but those aren’t truly going to help your
ability to pilot. The next three days
will be only training, and then we will put you on a schedule. Get down to the training facility. Eva-G is waiting, along with Hirotaki.”
Both
Lee and Kasana begin to rise, but Sinoto tells Kasana, “Only Lee. I want to speak with you for a few more
minutes.” With that, Lee walks out and
they begin to talk.
Lee
floats in a yellowish room, dressed in a black wet-suit-resembling outfit. He has a black helmet on with the visor
down. A voice, seemingly coming through
the walls, says, “Alright Lee, you’ve been here before. Do you still like the entry plug?”
Lee
responds, “Yeah, Hirotaki, but it seems different than the one described in the
book of Neon Genesis.”
Hirotaki
says through the speakers, “That’s because it is. It’s directly connected to the Eva’s core and, now, this room
merely mimics your movements through the Eva.
The original pilots sat in seats and had to partially use controls. Now, I’m about to power up the Eva; this may
be disorienting. Powering up.”
Suddenly,
Lee no longer floats in the yellowish room, but stands in a long room. There are a variety of guns and weapons
leaning or hung on the wall to the left of him. In front of him is a long hall-like extension to the room. At the end of it are targets of different
shapes and sizes. Lee turns around and
sees a very small window in the middle of the wall. To him, it seems smaller than a mouse hole. Surprisingly, he is dressed in normal
clothes.
As
he is turning around to see all these things a second time, a voice, like
Hirotaki’s enters his head, “Easy Lee.
You’re seeing what the Eva is seeing.
Every move you make, the Eva makes.”
Lee
looks around in confusion, and then crouches down, looks in the window, and
sees Hirotaki. He tries to speak, but
an unseen force oddly seals his mouth.
Hirotaki speaks again, “You can’t talk.
The Eva’s mouth is sealed, which in turn, seals your mouth. You can communicate with us by thinking that
you are saying the words the microphone inside the Eva.”
From
inside of the training control, all of Lee’s movements have been those of the
Eva. From the speakers comes Lee’s
voice, he says, “Alright… Can you here
me?”
Hirotaki
answers into the microphone, “Yes, I can here you. Incredible that you’ve caught on this fast.”
Lee
says, “Yeah, well, why the Hell didn’t this happen during the initial test?”
Hirotaki
explains, “I didn’t let you use your full sync ratio potential, so that you
couldn’t berserk. Now you’re using your
full sync rate, an amazing three hundred thirty-six.”
Lee,
slightly confused, says, “Look, you’re the science wiz. I have no idea what that means. Just tell me what I’m supposed to do.”
Hirotaki,
a little insulted, answers, “Fine.
First we’re going to test your body functions. Go down the corridor as fast as you can. When you reach the end,
jump to the next level, jump back down, and return here.”
Lee
immediately begins. He runs as fast as
he can down the oversized hall. The Eva
copies the action, but it moves so fast that its legs begin to blur around the
edges. He goes on and completes each
task with amazing ease and skill.
Afterwards, he sits in front of the window and stares at Hirotaki and
her assistants.
Hirotaki
says in astonishment, “That was perfect.
Seems we won’t waste anymore time on that… On the wall to my right are a variety of weapons. Choose a couple a get ready for target
practice.”
Lee,
or Eva-G, grabs a number of small knives, a long broad sword, and two
single-handed Uzi’s. All of which are
sized for the Eva. He attaches the
Uzi’s on his back, sheathes the sword and hangs it off of his hip, and holds
the knives between his fingers.
Hirotaki
tells him, “Alright, now, those are high sound frequency knives you’ve
selected. It’s up to you how you use
them, but there are four targets at the end of the corridor, as you probably
noticed. I think you ca put two and two
together. Do your best.”
Lee
responds, “Easy enough…”
The
Eva pulls its right arm back, hurls its hand down, and releases the knives from
its fingers. The four knives fly at
high speed, vibrating, down the hall.
In a split second the knives make a triangle around the center and the
fourth shatters through the bull’s eye.
The Eva turns and looks straight at Hirotaki.
Lee
asks, “Good enough for you?”
Hirotaki
answers in a shocked voice, “B…Better than expected…”
Lee
the inquires, “Uzi’s now, right?”
She
says, “Uh… Sure… Why not?”
Lee
pulls his arms around his back and unlatches the two guns. The Eva mimics these movements with
incredible accuracy. It then, due to
Lee’s commands, aims with both weapons then opens fire on the defenseless
targets.
Lee
asks, “Well, how’d I do?”
Hirotaki
responds by hitting a switch. The five
targets slowly pull away from the wall and approach the Eva. The Eva’s head looks at each as Lee inspects
them and a laugh comes through the speakers.
Each target has been shot in the bull’s eye fifteen times and also has a
small ring of bullet holes around it.
Lee
laughs again into the microphone inside the Eva and says, “Well, seems like I’m
not gonna be here long.”
Hirotaki
begins to respond with, “Yes, but--”
Before
she can continue, a loud alarm goes off inside the entire complex. Both the Eva and those inside the training
control center look around. A commotion
begins to break out in the control center.
Their
questions are soon answered by a low methodical voice saying, “Warning. Warning.
A large group of unidentified life forms are approaching Eden. All personal, go into emergency response
code blue.”
Hirotaki
yells into the microphone, “Lee, you’ve got to get to the upper level and
launch.”
Lee
asks, “And do what?”
Hirotaki
answers, “Launch and find out what the heck it is.”
