Genesis 1:6 Life After Death/In Other Words.....
"Emergency! Emergency!! An Unidentified Object has been spotted near New Yokosuka!"
"Go to first stage alert!"
"Battle Stations, First Stage Alert!"
Misato glared at the large spot on the radar.
"Damn.. A Daemon attack and only Unit-00 and 01 are useable!"
"The Target is still advancing, conventional weapons have no affect!"
"The entry plugs have been inserted!"
"Right!" Shouted Misato, "Eva Launch!"
The Units were up and running towards the direction of the Daemon. Rei had the Lance of Longinous, while Shinji had The Blade of Souls. Each of them had a progressive sword encase things went wrong.
"Target is Approaching!"
A veil of fog suddenly surrounded the two Evas.
Rei grit her teeth.
"Rrrrrr. Where is it!? I can't see a thing!"
"Wait a second! Oh shit! Rei look out!!"
With a lurch Unit-00 was pulled from it's feet and dragged under ground.
"REI!!!!"
"AHHH WHAT'S GOING ON!! SHINJI!!! HELP MEEE-----!!"
Rei's radio was cut. Unit-01 dove into the tunnel. Shinji switched on his infrared system. He saw Unit-00 stuck up against a wall, with the Daemon looking at it curiously, emitting many blue rings from it's head, the rings disappeared as they touch Unit-00. Rei Screamed.
"NOOOOO!!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!"
"REI!!!!!" Shinji shouted.
Weakly she looked at him, with tears in her eyes.
"sh...shin...Shinji..."
*The Mountains*
Yuko walked through a path in the mountains. Her hair flowing freely.
"What was it....."
The voice had been leading her in the direction, as if in a trance she was pulled by a mysterious force.
"So I see you truly have grown up." said a voice.
Yuko turned around and gasped.
*Underground*
Shinji lost it.
"YOU BASTARD!!" he shouted, "LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!!"
The Daemon looked up to see Unit-01 grab it and pull it close. Rei watched in horror as Unit-01 glared at the Daemon, and growled. Unit-01 then uppercut the Daemon, throwing it up into the surface. The Eva lunged at the confused Daemon, ripping one of it's arms clean off. It then grabbed the Daemon by the throat lifting it up and snapping it's neck. Although the Daemon was dead, Unit-01 threw it to the ground and started punching it in the chest. Blood spread everywhere, as Unit-01 rips off the Daemon's arm and punches it unit nothing is left.
"The Target... has been completely Annihilated."
Unit-01 went back under the tunnel, and freed Unit-00 from it's cage. However, when they exited the tunnel, Unit-00 fell to the ground.
"Rei?! Are you all right?"
No answer.
"Rei?!"
Still no answer.
"REEEEIIII!!!"
*Start Danger (song)*
The Daemon's core wasn't destroyed. A Shock wave hit both Unit-01 and 00, but only had effect on Unit-00 because Rei was not awake. Unit-00 was under control of the Daemon. Unit-00 made a loud roar and lunged at Unit-01, knocking it down.
"Rei?!" Shinji shouted, in complete disbelief.
"Shinji!! You've got to destroy the core of the Daemon!!" Misato shouted.
Unit-00 sensing this lifted Unit-01 and threw it into a building. Shinji yelped in pain. Unit-00 ran at him but he jumped away, landing right on the core. The core glowed red and exploded, Unit-00 exploded with it.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Shinji screamed and nearly collapsed. He started crying in the
plug. Misato stared in utter disbelief of what happened. In a frantic rage Unit-01 ran
about searching for the entry plug of Unit-00.
*Mountains*
"Mother?! I thought you were dead?"
Yuko stared in shock at what was her mother.
"I'm sorry, I have never been there when you needed me. But when you're father died, I was hidden by the Chinese Special Services Force. I wanted to see you and your brother, but they wouldn't let me," she started to cry, "I wanted to be there for you in your moments of triumph."
"Mother. It's ok, I've been placed under Misato Katsuragi's care. So has Sushio. We are ok."
Her mother smiled.
"Just as I had hoped. I'll try to see you, and your brother as soon as possible, but if I don't go back home the Special Agents will be worried," she finished, "I love you, daughter." she hugged Yuko and turned around, running down the pathway from whence she came.
Ten minutes later a loud explosion was heard, and a high pitched whistle. Another crash. Yuko looked in disbelief at the entry plug of Unit-00 laying about twenty feet in front of her. She ran over to it, searching her pockets for a pair of leather gloves she had with her. she put them on and opened the hatch. Rei was out cold and bleeding from a cut in her side. Unit-01 was climbing the mountain side.
"Oh My God!" said Yuko. As she stared down at the large crater, which once was called New Yokosuka. Shinji came up suddenly running towards the plug of Unit-00.
"Rei!" he shouted.
He, crying, gently pulled her out of the plug and slowly kneeled down, cradling her in his arms.
"Oh god why?!" he cried, "why!!"
*3 days later, Nerv Hospital*
Shinji sat in a chair, next to Rei's hospital bed, crying. Rei had undergone much surgery to her left arm, right leg, and her side. Her Arm was broken, her leg was broken as well, her side was stitched from a large cut, and she had been in a coma for three days. he sat in complete grief. With out Rei he felt his life would never be whole again. He sat on the brink of insanity.
Two days later, he was placed in intensive care. He had crossed the brink.
"Frankly I'm not sure if he'll recover. Major, I think the only hope of him coming back to his normal state would be if Rei could talk with him."
Misato stared at Shinji, who sat in the corner of the room hugging his knees to his chest, through the glass. He stared blankly at the floor.
"Doctor, I want you to let him out." she stated.
"What?! You can't be serious!?"
"I'm damn well serious, now you let him out and lead him to Rei's room!"
The doctor tried to hold his ground under the woman's cold glare.
"That's an order!"
*The Crater of New Yokosuka*
New Yokosuka had swallowed 2,000 lives when the Daemon and Unit-00 both exploded.
Dark, menacing clouds began to rise over head. Lighting flashed and thundered roared. A
large red circle began to appear over the crater. A loud Sonic Boom was heard and then a
large roar of thunder. Then silence.
*Nerv Main Bridge*
"What?! Are you saying the Second branch as reappeared?!"
"Yes sir, about 2 hours ago the entire second branch facility, or what's left of it, appeared in the crater of New Yokosuka."
"I see," Commander Ikari let loose a small smirk under his hands, "I want a recovery crew sent out, effective immediately."
"Yes sir!"
*Rei's Hospital Room*
Shinji sat staring blankly at Rei, tears somehow evading his eyes.
"Why?" he questioned himself, "why?!"
He had been like this for a very long time. He questioned his reason for living, his answer in his head was "for Rei". Misato watched him, worried. She started to act over protective of him, when the doctor tried to persuade her to put Shinji in a contained area she pulled a gun on him yelling, "Get the F**k away from here!"
Sushio, learning of his mother being alive, felt odd. He had only known his mother for a short time. He thought she was dead and now that he knew she was alive he almost hated her for never contacting him.
Yoshiro still had feelings for Yuko, but he did not feel he could express them. He had countlessly told himself to start acting how he felt, but each time he tried he stopped himself, feeling he would only humiliate himself. He had recently found a compact disc, he discovered it was an American Alternative Rock band called The Offspring. He knew that CDs were replaced by Mini Discs and Mp3's a long time ago, so he kept the CD in a secret compartment ,that only he knew about, in his room. He was lucky enough to find a Disc Man so he could listen to the CD. It was called Americana.
Asuka and Yuko had become even better friends then they were before. They had found almost a kindred soul in each other. They understood the pains of misfortune and grief. They both were concerned a lot about Misato. She hadn't been back home for 4 days straight so far, and they weren't sure when she would ever leave headquarters.
Rei had been dreaming. Her dreams were scattered, only small fragments of her memory
swirling around. Every now and then she saw herself staring into the void. She saw a large
pool of red.
Dream:--^+^--
Rei: Where am I?
Voice: You are entering my world!
Rei: Who are you?!
Voice: Can't recognize your own nemesis?
The voice faded and a the red pool swirled around into a figure.................of a Jackal.
Rei:(Frightened) You are the one who seeks to destroy us!
The Jackal: HAHAHAHA. That's correct Rei Ayanami!
Rei: How did you...
The Jackal: I know all of your names, now your soul will be mine!
Voice: NO!
The Jackal: What?!
Voice: I will not let you take two lives by stealing her soul!
The Jackal: Yui! How dare you defy me!
Unit-01 appears with Yui Ikari Hovering in front of it's middle.
Yui: My son's life will not be taken and neither will Rei's!
She gestures to Unit-01
Yui: This will be your destroyer! No longer will you steal good peoples souls!
Rei: I don't understand...
Yui: Rei you will understand in time, tell Shinji that the worlds fate shall rest in his hands.
Rei: Yes.
The Jackal: No!
Yui turns back to The Jackal.
Yui: Your Rein Shall End!
There is a blinding flash of white light and Rei Ayanami wakes up after being in a coma for
9 days.
