Genesis 1:2
Stillness/Unknown Danger
The Silence was unbearable so Misato spoke first.
"Where is he?" she asked, all she knew was his failsign signal didn't unfold.
"He..." Shinji gulped. What he saw was Unit-05 floating face down in a large river starting to sink.
"He's sinking in the River." he said.
"Oh crap!" Misato shouted, "get him out of there!"
"I'll try." said Shinji, as Unit-01 ran towards the rive, dropping his gun it pulled Unit-06 out.
"Emergency eject!" said Misato, there was a buzzing sound, "what's wrong?"
"We can't eject the plug, it's not excepting the signal!" shouted Maya, from the other side of the room.
Shinji force ejected the entry plug. The LCL discharge horrified him. It was completely red. Unit-00 and 02 were up.
"His brain waves are going off the charts, his breathing is very weak!" exclaimed Hyuga.
"What the hell?!" Asuka shouted, her voice sounded shocked, "is that blood?"
"Oh my God!" exclaimed Rei, who also was starring at the LCL which was still coming out.
"Get him out of there!" yelled Shinji, who couldn't stand looking at the red mixture of LCL and blood anymore.
"Get an Emergency crew down there NOW!" shout Misato, who was also getting sick from looking at the LCL.
"I think I'm gonna be sick." said Shinji, who now had his plug Ejected and was down near Yoshiro's plug. He saw the team pry open the hatch and he nearly threw up at what he saw. there was a large gash running down Yoshiro's side.
"My God!" exclaimed Rei, for she to saw the gash.
"What in the hell happened to him?!" shouted Asuka.
Yoshiro had lost consciousness. He dreamt that he was in a room. Shinji was lying on a cot sleeping. There was one window supplying air to him. Then the room started getting smaller, the air getting thinner. Shinji disappeared. He heard voices. "Hurry up with that stitching." someone said, another voice "almost done.....there finished." Misato's voice "Yoshiro can you hear me. His eyes opened wide as he gasped for air. The paramedics strapped an oxygen mask onto him and he started to calm down. He tried to pull a weak smile at Shinji and Misato but he winced in pain and widely felt about his side. He felt the stitches and screeched. Then his air started to taste bitter and he felt sleepy he calmed down once more and fell asleep
"Is he gonna be all right?" Misato asked, one of the paramedics answered.
"I don't know. He lost one heck of a lot of blood, with out a blood transfer he might die.
"You're kidding me right?" she asked, in a worried tone.
"No, I'm afraid not." said the Paramedic.
"Oh crap!" said Misato, who was now very worried. She knew he had no family living in Japan so how could he get a blood transfer....Unless! Quickly she pulled out her cell phone and called Hyuga.
"Hyuga, I need you to give me the blood Types of Shinji Ikari and Yoshiro Ayan and hurry." she said, knowing there wasn't much time left.
"Well oddly enough they seem to have the same blood type. This is the first time something like this has ever happened so it was easier to find." he said.
"Thanks." she said and hung up. 'Now to talk to Shinji.'
"Shinji, both you and Yoshiro have the same blood type," she said, as he looked up at her, "so I need you to do a transfer with him or he'll die."
"I'll do it!" he said, in a sorta scared, sorta strong tone. The ambulance stopped and the pilots were both rushed to the ER Since they stitched Yoshiro's side up on the way there they immediately hooked he and Shinji up and started transferring Shinji's blood. Shinji started to feel fatigued when they told him that the transfer was a success and he could go to sleep.
For the first time in many nights, Shinji dreamt normal dreams. as he slept peacefully Misato sat in a chair next to him with an almost empty cup of coffee.
"Excuse me ma'am but you should get some rest." said a voice, from next to Misato. It was Rei.
"Yeah I should," said Misato sleepily, "but it's my duty to make sure Yoshiro and Shinji make it through this." she finished
"I will stay with you then," Rei said, "we could both use the company anyways." Misato smiled, then yawned.
"Yeah." she agreed. They sat there for a while discussing things that normally wouldn't be interesting to talk about, but since they were the only ones there wasn't anything else to do but sleep. Misato yawned again.
"OK I think I'll sleep now." she said as she went outside of the room and found a bench to lie down on. Rei asked a nurse to bring a blanket for her since the hallway was a bit chilly.
Rei sat inside thinking quietly to herself. How did Yoshiro get chosen? What was his past? She guessed it wasn't much different from most of the others. Nearly everyone that was a pilot had to deal with a death or many deaths in the family. Rei wondered about all of this. Since she had no parents she wondered what they were like. All she knew was her dad died 5 months before she was born and her mother died to give birth to her. She never realized the whole truth about her past. She finally let her mind go and fall asleep.
It was about 2:30 a.m. When Shnji, Rei, and Misato awoke to hear Yoshiro screaming.
"What the hell is going on in here!?" asked Misato, as she rushed in.
"We don't know!" Finally Yoshiro woke up his eyes wide, his breathing hard , and his face lined with sweat.
"What the hell happened?" asked Misato.
"It's too horrible to mention." Yoshiro wiped his face on a towel next to his bed and thought of whether or not he should tell the contents of his Nightmare. 'Too horrible to mention!' he thought. He was about to lie down when Misato's cell phone began to ring.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Misato, it's Ritsuko, I need you to get to the base pronto to pick up the seventh child, Sushio Kushina, and my new assistant, Kaede Somato."
"Gotcha!" said Misato as she hung up.
"Ok guys I have to go to work to pick up the senevth Chi.... oops, I forgot to mention that earlier, Well I gotta go!" she quickly left.
"Seventh Child, but Yoshiro just got here!" Rei tried to protest but Misato left. Her emotions started to get the better of her as she slumped down to the floor and started to weep.
"Rei what's wrong?" asked Shinji who was now kneeling beside her, "you can tell me."
"Are we that insignificant that there will be others to take in our places." she asked him still weeping.
"No that will never happen." said Shinji, showing his concern for Rei. She looked up at him and tried to smile, but she couldn't.
"Hold me." she whispered and she was in his arms crying on his shoulder, softly. 'That poor girl' thought Yoshiro who was watching the whole thing, 'perhaps to Commander Ikari we are expendable, and we matter very little.' He let his thoughts wonder and he fell to sleep. He dreamt about what he thought his father was like. Little did he know that his father was tied up with Nerv which in term caused his death.
"Rei, not matter what we go through I'll always be here for you," said Shinji, who was now sitting outside with Rei, "because ... I .. I love you Rei." then he leaned over and kissed her softly on the lips, and Rei kissed him back. Then Shinji walked Rei home. As they walked Rei made her confession.
"Shinji, I have to confess ... that I have been in love with you for a long time ... but I lacked the strength to tell you."
"I guess that's how I've been for a long time."
They reached Rei's appartment and Shinji kissed her again before he left. He walked to Misato's appartment only to find that it wasn't there anymore. Instead he saw a black hole where the Angel's explosion fires had burned it down.
"What the Hell!!!" He yelled, in fury.
*Nerv, Main Lobby*
A 15 year old boy stood, waiting, next to a 23 year old girl. He was waiting for a lady who he was supposed to meet. He had a green hair color which was surprising to most people, because his hair color was original not died. His sisters was the same. he was short compared to most people his age, he was only 5' 8". His eyes were strange as well. instead of a normal brown, blue, green or haze, his eyes were a light purple color. The Girl was about 4 inches taller than the boy and she had dark brown eyes and her hair was like Misato's, a dark purple color. She wore a white lab coat over her regular t-shirt and jeans. She had a little name tag which read "Kaede Somato, assistant head scientist." She turned to the boy.
"So, Sushio, what are you hear to pilot or something else?"
"They said I was chosen as the Seventh Child to pilot Unit-06 the first Chinese model," he said. "I'm not sure why they didn't pick my sister to come with me, since we both work for Nerv."
"Bummer."
*Commander Ikari's Office*
"Sushio Kushina and his sister Yuko worked on the Evangelion Project since they were 11 years old. Their synch ratio had been very high and together it was perfectly together. when they were 12 an explosion caused them to evacuate to America when Unit-06 went berserk and nearly destroyed everything. Now Unit-06 is stable and Unit-07 is it's twin. Yuko was nearly killed by an Assasin who murdered their father, when she stumbled into him with her brother on the way back from school. He viscously stabbed her and nearly punctured her lungs. He was chosen by the Marduke report before his sister because of this incident. The location of the Mother is still unknown." said Ritsuko.
"Impressive, when will the sister arrive?"
"She will arrive in a week while they make last minute adjustments to Unit-07."
"Good," said the Commander, who was now smiling, "everything is going to plan."
*Main Lobby*
Misato was rushing in. She had to leave Yoshiro in the hospital and, she wasn't sure where Shinji and Rei would be, meet the seventh child and Ritsukos new aide, in the earliest hours of the morning.
Yawning she looked around and spotting Kaede she walked towards them trying not to look tired. Before she reached them her cell phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Misato did you know that the appartment BURNED DOWN!!!!" yelled Shinji at the other end.
"Yes, I already had everything moved to our new HOUSE while you guys were in school!"
"Oh," Shinji gulped, "sorry then."
"Don't worry about it just head back to the hospital building and wait there with Yoshiro O.K."
"Yeah O.K."
Misato cleared her throat, hung up her phone and went over to Kaede and Sushio.
"Hi Kaede sorry I'm late, but I had a situation with one of the pilots." then she turned to Sushio, "so your the seventh child. Welcome to Nerv!"
"Hi."
"Well it seems you two have already met so I'll just take you to your new home." said Misato.
"Where are we going to stay anyways?" asked Kaede.
"You two will stay at my house. pretty much everybody is or most likely will be living there anyways."
"That's great." They walked to the parking garage where Sushio switched Cars with Misato while Kaede found her car and fallowed behind them. As they drove Sushio checked his new surroundings. The City was still re-cooperating from the battle with the Angel though damage was minimal compared to an earlier explosion.
"So, have you gotten all of your security clearance passes and all the other junk you'll need?" asked Misato as they neared an area with more housing.
"Yeah and I went through an activation test pretty much as soon as I got here, no problems." Misato's cell phone rang. She answered.
"Hello?"
"So Misato who are our roomies?" asked Kaede from her phone.
"Asuka Langly Sohryu and Shinji Ikari the Second and Third children."
"Hmmm this will be interesting." Kaede hung up and Misato did likewise. She then pulled into a large drive way and Sushio and Kaede were staring at what looked like a mansion. It was huge! It was have been four stories high.
"Asuka should be home I'm gonna go pick up Shinji from our hospital, See yah!" And Misato Drove of as soon as Sushio had his things. Kaede and Sushio walked up to the door and were about to knock when it was yanked open and Asuka's face appeared.
"Excuse me, but what the hell are you two doing here?!" she said obviously not recognizing them.
"You must be Asuka," said Kaede, "we're your new roomies."
"Huh?"
"I'm Kaede Somato and this is Sushio Kushina, we just arrived." said Kaede gesturing to Sushio who couldn't seem to take his eyes off Asuka (hint, hint).
"Oh, well then welcome to THE house!" she smerked.
'She should work on her attitude.' thought Sushio as he and Kaede both entered and Asuka closed the door, locking it. Both he and Kaede stared at the vast amount of stairways and hallways and rooms. Asuka led them to the bedrooms so they could unpack and get some shuteye. Sushio thought for a long time as he lay in his bed staring at the ceiling. Perhaps Asuka has had some recent emotional troubles? Or she just wasn't that nice. He pushed away the unfriendly thought and put a picture in his mind of her if she was smiling. 'I hope I will get to see that smile.' he thought before driffting to sleep.
*Rei's Apartment*
Rei woke up early as usual. She made herself a quick breakfast and sat down at a table eating it. She thought about the recent events of things happening in Tokyo-3. If God created Angels, and Angels created man, why must they destroy man? She thought a bit more and then just figured that they thought we were to powerful for our own good. She finished eating and put on a jacket before heading out the door. As soon as she left someone came out of the shadows and broke into her apartment. He started, carefully, looking around, trying to find something.
"Damn it!" he cursed, "it's not here!" He left planing to return for a more thorough check
later.
*Nerv, Hospital*
Shinji awoke on a bench outside of Yoshiro's hospital room. He blinked sleep out of his eyes and got up. Yawning, he went into Yoshiro's room to see if he was awake. When entering he saw Misato sitting in a chair with a cup of coffee in her hand.
"Good morning Shinji," she said, "sorry about all that happen yesterday."
"It's ok." They made up some conversation about new security measures and weapons for the Evas now that the enemy was even stronger.
"We've recently found that The Blade of Souls was actually hidden inside our own base. They discovered it when they were reconstructing some of the central area." said Misato, "the Blade of Souls was Adam's, the second Angel, weapon which he brought down before causing second Impact."
"Wow!" Shinji exclaimed. The door opened and Rei walked in. She sat down in a chair next to Shinji.
"How is he?"
"Well the doctors said the operation was a success and he could leave soon." said Misato.
"Are the new comers here?" asked Shinji.
"Yeah they'll be at our house from now on." Yoshiro awoke just as Asuka arrived.
"Hey Yoshiro!" they all greeted him as he awoke. He smiled at them.
"So do I get to leave?" he asked brightly.
"Yep and I'll take you now if you want?" said Misato. Yoshiro Jumped out of the bed and Yelled "ALLRIGHHTTTT!!!"
They walked to the car tram and piled into Misato's car. When they dropped off Yoshiro he waved them goodbye for today. He walked into his appartment. It was the same as he left it.
'Good ole home!' he thought.
