*Claeo's Hospital Room, Day 2*
(Claeo is lying on her bed staring at the ceiling. A noticeable bulge in her stomach being
her biggest problem. A tear forms on her left eye and makes it's way down her cheek. The
buzzing of equipment and the beeps of her heart monitor as well as her child's are quietly
droning on in the room. A window is open nearby.)
Claeo:(quietly) Why me? Why did he need to do this to me?
Voice:(Inside the girls mind) He chose you because he didn't know about your power. He
thinks you are an atheist.
Claeo:(Whisper) Are you my child?
Voice: Yes. I am supposed to kill you. But I don't want to. . . He wants me to. But I
won't help him. I like you. You're a nice lady.
(Claeo smiled to herself.)
Claeo:(Whisper) Thank you.
(In the watching booth Misato, Maya, and Kaede are watching Claeo. Lt. Nogano and 2nd
Lt. Kozani are both seated at computer terminals.)
Misato: It's like she's talking to the baby.
Kazumi: I think that's what she is doing.
Misato:(Turns to Kazumi) What do you mean?
Kazumi: Well, I'm getting a 2nd voice pattern on my readouts, it's speaking to her through
her psycho graph.
Iru: I'm getting the same thing.
(Maya and Kaede both look at Claeo. Claeo is now asleep.)
Maya: Did you get what the other voice was saying?
Iru: I only caught one part.
Kazumi: Same here.
Kaede: What did it say.
(Kazumi types something in on her terminal. The speakers crackle and the message is
played.)
Voice: I am supposed to kill you. But I don't want to. . . He wants me to. But I won't
help him. I like you. You're a nice lady.
Misato: Dear God.
Maya: I think he's on our side.
Kaede: It would seem that way.
(Kaede and Maya both turn to the door.)
Misato: Where are you two going?
Kaede: Back to work.
Maya: It's Top Secret, you'll know when we are allowed to tell you about it.
(The two leave Misato, Kazumi, and Iru in the box.)
Misato:(Grumbling) Keeping secrets from me again.
(Misato checks her watch.)
Misato:(Thinking) Time to pick up Gamma and it's pilot.(To Kazumi and Iru) I gotta go.
I'll be back sometime in the afternoon.
Kazumi: Later, Major.
(Misato walks out leaving the two. She walks down the hall to the parking garage. By her
car, Shinji and Rei are waiting. They look at her with troubled faces as she walks up to
them.)
Rei: How is she?
Misato: She'll give birth in 6 days.
Shinji: Isn't that way too soon?
Misato: The birth process was sped up so that each day is considered as a month. We have
no idea how this happened. But there is a chance that it won't lead to our doom. Are you
two ready to pick up Gamma and it's Pilot?
Rei: Yes.
(They get into Misato's car. Misato doesn't bother to check her mirrors and pulls out. The
car lurches forward as she accelerates. Rei is slightly clinging to Shinji's arm while he is
holding on to the seat cushion for dear life.)
Shinji: Misato! Slow down!!
(Misato doesn't bother listening to him and accelerates to an even faster speed when she
hits the highway. She checks the clock.)
8:30 A.M.
Misato: We've got 5 minutes to catch our flight.
Rei:(Yelling) Now you tell us!
(The airport comes in to view and Misato accelerates yet again. She finds a parking space
and hits the brakes, spinning the car in a 180 and almost tipping it, into the parking space.
The other end lands back down on the ground with a loud crunch.)
Rei: Are we still alive?
Shinji: I think so.
(Misato is already out of the car and halfway to the Airport entrance.)
Misato:(Yelling) Hurry up you two!
(Shinji and Rei shakily get out of the car and run after Misato. They chase her through the
airport until they get to their flight with 30 seconds to spare.)
Misato: Told ya we'd make it!
(They hand their tickets to the stewardess and walk to the plane. Finding their seats they
sit down. Rei and Shinji are seated next to each other while Misato is in the seat across
from them.)
Misato:(Moaning) My poor bank account!
(Rei and Shinji then realized that they were in the first class section of the plane when they
found that their seats were a lot nicer than coach seats.)
Captain: Attention passengers please buckle your seats belts so we may take off.
(A few stewardess' walked down the isles showing various people how to use the seatbelts
and to check if everyone was buckled up. They plain lurched forward as it moved to the
runway. There was a 2nd lurch as the plane accelerated forward, lifting off of the ground.)
Rei: I hate this part.
(Shinji looked at Rei with concern on his face. He was used to flying so it didn't quite
bother him. Her hands were gripping the arm rests rather strongly.)
Shinji:(In a suggesting tone) Just close your eyes and push all thoughts out of your mind.
Rei: I've got a better idea.
(Rei leans over and begins to kiss Shinji, without thinking about the plane at all. Shinji
kisses her back and continues, seeing that it is easier for her this way. The plane is now
flying smoothly. The captain then begins to speak.)
Captain: This flight will be touching down momentarily in Osaka, Japan before continuing
to Russia. The in flight movie for today is called, Death and Rebirth. A fast paced action,
adventure, horror, romance, and drama all in one! Also we will be featuring lunch and
dinner on this flight. For lunch we have Udon Yakitori soup with a side of California
Sushi. For dinner we will be featuring an American special, Beef Stew with a side of
vegetables. Thank you for taking Con Sai National Air Flights.
(Rei breaks the kiss. She giggles quietly and he smiles.)
Rei: That was fun.
(Shinji leans back in his seat, Rei does the same.)
Misato:(Thinking) Why am I so jealous that Shinji and Rei are a couple? Is it because I
was forced to kill the man I loved?(Quietly, out loud) I need a god damn boyfriend.
(Rei turns to Shinji. A look of worry on her face.)
Rei: Do you think that Claeo will be alright?
Shinji: I'm not sure, I just hope this whole thing doesn't get one of us killed.
Rei: She seemed so depressed yesterday when I visited her, but now she seems a bit happy.
Misato:(Interrupting) That's because she's going to live. Also we have reason to believe
that the child has made communication with her and will not defer to his fathers side.
(Shock is shown visibly on the two pilots faces.)
Rei: What?!
Misato:(Thinking) Damn! Now they know. (To Rei) I can't tell you any more than I've
just said. It's classified Top Secret.
Shinji:(Angry) Why are we being held in the dark about all this!? We should know about
these things, it involves us whether with like it or not.
(A few people look at Shinji with a menacing glare. He ducks down slightly. Misato looks
as though she's about to respond when a stewardess walks in toting a cart with assorted
snacks and beverages.)
Stewardess:(To Rei and Shinji) Would either of you care for a drink? We have soda, tea,
Saké, beer. . .
Rei: I'll have a cup of green tea, thank you.
Shinji: Same for me thanks.
(The stewardess hands them each a cup of hot tea and turns to Misato.)
Stewardess: Would you care for a dr--
Misato:(Grumpily) I'll have a cup of tea, thank you.
(The stewardess' smile fades as she hands Misato her drink.)
Stewardess:(Thinking) All these Military people are really beginning to piss me off.
(The stewardess walks away to the coach section. Rei immediately glares at Misato.)
Rei: Why can't you be nice to people for a change.
Misato:(Angry) Excuse me? Who's letting you live in her house.
Shinji:(Soothing) Girls, please.
Rei:(Sharply) Quiet Shinji.
(Shinji cowers slightly. Rei realizes what she said.)
Rei:(Gently) I'm sorry Shinji, I didn't mean to sound angry.
(She holds his hand in hers.)
Shinji:(Regaining his strength) It's not your fault.
Misato:(Thinking) She'll probably pin it on me tonight in the hotel.
Shinji: Misato, why aren't the others coming?
Misato: They wanted to stay and make sure that nothing bad happened. Besides I had
orders to only take two of you. If Damien showed up and no Eva's were operational,
everyone would have died.
Shinji: Oh. . .
(A silence falls between the three as they all look forwards at the seats in front of them. Rei
turns to Misato.)
Rei: Misato, why did you buy first class tickets?
Misato: It was all that was available. Plus I thought you two could use the room if ya know
what I mean.
(Misato winks at Rei. Rei blushes and her eyes widen. Shinji blushes as well but can't help
from smiling.)
Rei: Misato, stop thinking like that. You're 32 now.
Misato:(Laughing) At least I haven't changed as much as you now have I?
(Rei becomes quiet as she remembers what she used to be like.)
Misato:(In an apologizing tone) I'm so sorry Rei! I didn't mean it like that.
Rei: I forgive you Misato. I'm the one who brought this thing upon my self. I'll deal with
it in my own way.
(Rei yawns.)
Rei:(Tired, quietly) Why did you have to wake us up so damn early?
(Rei leans over and rests her head on Shinji's shoulder. She closes her eyes ans drifts off to
sleep.)
Shinji:(Whisper) Sweet dreams Rei.
(He kisses her gently on her forehead. He two yawns and falls asleep soon.)
Misato:(Thinking) Poor kids. The entire world is depending upon them. Kaji I wish I
didn't pull the trigger. I'm sorry.
(Misato leans back and nods off to sleep.)
*Outside a Hotel in Russia*
(Two people are standing outside of the hotel. One of them looks to be about 17 years old.
I girl. She has dark brown hair, almond eyes, a stunning figure, creamy white skin. She
stands about Rei's height. She wears a grey overcoat, the American trench coat style, black
jeans, a spiked collar around her neck and a spiked bracelet around her left wrist. Her hair
is shorter than Rei's and unkempt. Next to her stands an elderly man. His hair is grey. He
looks to be about 65 years old. He wears a grey overcoat, grey pants, has a plump build,
and a bald spot on the back of his head. His skin is wrinkly and he to has almond colored
eyes. They both speak Russian.)
Man: Natalia, are you sure you want to go through with this?
Natalia: Of course Grandfather! I'll be protecting the entire world. My first activation
with the Gamma went perfect. My synch ratio was 73.9% a good score for my first time in
the Evangelion.
Grandfather: Will you be OK staying here for tonight?
Natalia: Yes Grandfather, Major Katsuragi will be staying here tonight with the 1st and 3rd
children. I'll be fine.
Grandfather: I've made sure that Major Katsuragi will be you legal guardian while you
stay in Japan. Be careful. If you died we would have nothing left.
Natalia: Don't worry Grandfather. The AT Field will protect me. Besides, there are other
pilots too. They'll help me if I need help and I'll help them the same.
Grandfather:(Smiling) I understand dear. Now let me hear you speak Japanese once more
before I leave.
Natalia: Hai. Konnichi wa! Watashi wa Natalia desu ka.
Grandfather: That's my Granddaughter. We're very proud of you Natalia. We love you
very much.
Natalia: I love you too Grandfather. Tell Grandmother I love her.
(Natalia hugs her Grandfather and kisses him lightly on the cheek. He smiles before
walking to a black car. He gets inside the passenger seat and waves goodbye to Natalia
before gesturing to the driver to start the car up.)
*Moscow Airport*
Time: 7:28 P.M.
(The Con Sai International Flight Number 786 touches down at the Moscow airport. The
plane lands and slows it's speed before making it's way the exit gate. It attaches it self to
the exit gate. The first 3 people to exit from the plane are Misato, Shinji, and Rei. Each
one of them toting a small bag with their things in it. They walk up to a man in a black
sport suit, wearing a limo drivers hat. He holds a sign saying: Katsuragi, Ikari, Ayanami.
Misato walks up to him.)
Misato:(In Rusty Russian) That's us.
(The man takes them to a limo. They all get in. Rei and Shinji are both very excited, this
being their first limo ride. They look around and open the little fridge.)
Rei: I never expected a car of this size to be able to hold a refrigerator, TV, and VCR in
one section!
Misato: Neither of you have ever been out of Japan have you.
(Rei and Shinji shake their heads.)
Misato: You kids really need a vacation out of Japan. In fact I'll recommend it to the
commander. Now I need you two to read over the Profile of the new pilot. I want you two
to watch over her in Japan. The others are probably reading her profile already, I asked
Kaede to show it to them.
(Misato takes out two sheets of paper from her bag. She hands one to Rei and one to
Shinji. The two pilots look at the sheets.
The 11th Child
The Marduk Institutional Report.
Name: Natalia Derech
Age: 17
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Almond Yellow.
Height: 5' 9"
Nationality: Russian
Religion: Pagan
Evangelion: Unit-Gamma
Description: A charming girl, considering her appearance. At first one would think her to
be a cold hearted person. Her expressions are mainly motionless unless she is with a good
friend or her Grandparents. In America she would be considered as a Gothic person. She
always wears a spiked collar and spiked bracelet. She tries to be open with people but is
regarded as evil by her school peers. Her friends, however, are regarded the same way. It
is our advise that she be monitored closely by the Nerv staff and Pilots.
Parents: Deceased.
Guardian In Japan: Major Misato Katsuragi.
Emergency Contact In Japan: Lt. Kazumi Nogano
Rei: That's strange. Why Lt. Nogano?
Misato: Lt. Kazumi Nogano was originally stationed in Nerv headquarters in Russia. She
excelled and was given a promotion to Lt. and transferred to Nerv Headquarters in Tokyo-3. She was Natalia's Japanese tutor from what I understand. Before she moved over to
Japan that is. Kazumi was stations in Germany when Nerv was still Gehirn. She was one
of my College classmates if I remember right. Ritsuko and I used to always try and get her
to drink a beer when we studied together in Biology, but she was very stubborn about it
and refused every time. She and Natalia got to be good friends before she left from what I
hear. Kazumi is a language specialist. I still wonder why she doesn't ask to be transferred
into the Ambassadors office. She's much better than the current interpreter. She can
speak more languages than the current one.
Rei: I never knew that.
Misato: Neither did I until she finally confessed to me. As soon as I mentioned Natalia to
her she seemed to spark up. I asked her how she knew her and why she was listed as her
emergency contact and she told me everything.
Shinji: Wow.
Driver:(In Russian, to Misato) We are nearing the hotel.
Misato:(In Rusty Russian) Thank You. Notify me when we enter the parking lot.
Shinji: What did he say?
Misato: We are nearing the hotel.
Rei: When did you learn Russian?
Misato: I took Chinese, German, and Russian as language's in College. Me an Ritsuko
went to College together in Germany.
Rei: Oh.
Misato: I haven't spoken in Russian since College. I'm pretty rusty with it.
Driver:(In Russian) We're here.
Misato:(In Rusty Russian) Good.
(The Limo pulls up to the loading and unloading zone. The driver gets out and opens the
doors of the back of the Limo, opens the trunk, and hands the three their bags. Misato
hands him the money to pay for the ride.)
Misato:(In Rusty Russian) Thank you.
(Misato then turns to Rei and Shinji who are looking at the building which is almost as tall
as the tallest building of Tokyo-3.)
Shinji:(In Awe, to Rei) This is a hotel?
Rei: You're guess is as good as mine.
(Misato walks up to Natalia.)
Misato: Natalia Derech?
Natalia: Major Misato Katsuragi?
Misato: Misato.
Natalia: Natalia.
(Misato laughs while Natalia remains with a slightly blank expression. A small smile
forming on her face.)
Misato: This is Shinji and Rei, the 3rd and 1st children.
Natalia:(Smiling) It is a pleasure to meet you two.
(She shakes each of their hands. Rei looks at her right wrist. She notices a small scar
across the vein area of her wrist. Natalia notices this and covers it with her jacket.)
Rei:(Thinking) Did she try to commit suicide?
Shinji: So you pilot Unit-Gamma, right?
Natalia: Yes. That is my Evangelion.
(They all stand in silence looking at each other. Misato looks at each of them separately.)
Misato: Well then. How about we check in to the hotel and Natalia can give us a small tour
of Moscow, neh?
Natalia: I have no problem with that.
Shinji: That sounds like a great idea to me.
(They turn to the hotel and walk in, each of them holding their own bag.)
*Claeo's Hospital Room, Day 3*
(The usual buzzes and beeps of the machinery fills the quiet room. Claeo is sleeping. The
bulge in her stomach has grown to size usual for the third month of Pregnancy. Sitting
near by are Yoshiro and Yuko. The two both stare at Claeo.)
Yoshiro:(With concern) How is she so calm?
Yuko: I don't know, but I'd rather not ask. She needs her rest.
(Yoshiro looks over at the booth where Kazumi and Iru are both working at their
terminals.)
Yoshiro: I don't see how those damn Lt.'s can just sit there and collect data. What if she
dies in child birth?
Yuko: Don't say something like that!
Yoshiro: Sorry. By the way, what did you think about the 11th Child's profile?
Yuko:(Passive) She seems interesting, but we won't know until she arrives.
(Yoshiro glances over at Yuko. He notices how she looks, with her blank expression. She
sighs and he looks over at her.)
Yoshiro:(With concern) What's wrong?
Yuko: I--Nothing.
Yoshiro: There's no need for you to be evasive.
Yuko: I--I. . .
Yoshiro: What is it?
Yuko:(Thinking) I love you.(Sadly, out loud) Leave me alone.
(She gets up and runs out of the room leaving a stunned Yoshiro trying to figure out what
he's done wrong. He hears the crackle of the loud speaker above him.)
Kazumi: Is something wrong?
(Yoshiro shakes his head, gets up, and walks out of them room. Claeo opens her eyes. It is
obvious that she wasn't asleep.)
Claeo:(Thinking) Yuko should tell her feelings to him.
Kazumi:(Through the loud speaker) How are you feeling Claeo?
Claeo: Fine, thanks. But I fear that Damien will try to take her by force.
Iru: No need to worry. The other pilots will give him a good lesson in manners if he tries
that.
(Claeo smiles.)
Claeo: Will the 11th be coming with Ikari, Ayanami, and Major Katsuragi?
Kazumi:(Happily) Yes. She will.
Claeo: That is good.
*Claeo's Hospital Room Day 8*
(Night time has lulled the residents of Tokyo-3 to sleep. However Claeo is awake and
trembling. Kazumi is confused by her readouts while Iru is watching Claeo. Misato is with
them.)
Misato: Tomorrow's the day.
Claeo:(Thinking) He's coming to take her away. May Amon Ra help us.
*Misato's Mansion*
(Natalia also is unable to sleep. She lies awake in her bed, not moving, but staring at the
ceiling.)
Natalia:(Thinking) The girl Claeo will give birth tomorrow.
I wish I could understand her better.
But we are the same. We each feel, but do not show it.
The girl Yuko has a strange aura about her.
She seems to have feelings for the boy Yoshiro, yet he doesn't take notice.
The poor girl is being torn apart.
Sushio shows much rage. He seems to be protective of Asuka. He get's angry when The
monster, Damien, is mentioned.
Shinji and Rei's bond is so strong that they will never part. Even in death. If a soul mate
is a real thing, than I believe they are soul mates.
(Speaking) Oh Goddess of the moon, water, and air.
Oh God of the stars, fire, and earth.
Free me of these troubled thoughts.
Protect me with thy strength tomorrow.
Blessed Be.
(A breeze sweeps across the room through the open window. Natalia smiles. Her spell has
worked.)
*Claeo's Hospital Room, Final Day*
(Claeo is lying on the bed. She smiling. The doctors are surrounding her and they turn on
various equipment.)
Nurse: Her water's broke. She's going into labor.
(Claeo seems to remain calm considering the pain it must be causing her.)
Doctor: Claeo, take deep breaths, push. That's good keep it up.
(The heart rate monitor quickens it's pace slightly.)
Doctor: Get me the obstetrical scissors.
(A nurse hands them to him.)
Doctor: One more push.
(Claeo grits her teeth and pushes with all her might. Suddenly the pain is gone and she
hears the baby crying.)
Doctor:(Smiling) It's a healthy baby girl.
Claeo: Thank you doctor.
(The doctor hands the baby to the nurse. The nurse cleans the baby with a fresh cloth
before putting a tag around it's ankle and wrapping it up in a fresh blanket. She gives the
baby to Claeo. Claeo holds her baby and smiles at it. It giggles and cuddles up with
Claeo.)
Doctor: I've been asked to bring the baby to the lab for certain tests.
Claeo: I understand.
(The doctor is shocked when Claeo gets up and pulls the various needles and wires attached
to her body off and gets up, holding the baby.)
Claeo: But I'm going with you.
(Klaxon's Blared and fear began to course through Claeo's veins.)
Claeo:(Thinking) He's here!
*Main Bridge*
(On the main screen, a giant monster was approaching. It looked exactly like The Jackal,
only it was a bit smaller.)
Misato: Launch the Eva's immediately!
(The Eva's, save Unit-Zeta, flew up the launch pads to there specific places. Fire was
surrounding Damien, The Jackal. Each of the pilot's pictures were on the main screen.
Shinji was gritting his teeth. Yoshiro's eyes were closed and he was whispering softly to
himself. Rei was looking over at Shinji. Sushio was glaring. Asuka had a worried look on
her face. Natalia and Yuko both had on blank expressions. Unit-Gamma looked exactly
like Unit-Zeta except it was a purple.)
Misato: Destroy him, use any means necessary. I don't want anything to be left.
(Behind Misato, Commander Ikari got up.)
Gendo: I leave the rest to You Fyutski.
Fyutski: I understand. I'll see you soon if worst comes to worst.
(The Pilot's began to arm themselves. Unit-01 took out the Blade of Souls. Unit-02 held
two rifles. Unit-04 took the Lance of Longinus. Unit-05 took it's two trademark
progressive swords. Unit-06 held a positron cannon. Unit-07 held a dual pointed
progressive spear. Unit-Gamma held a pistol in one hand, a positron cannon in the other,
and 5 grenades were attached in various places around it's mid section.)
Misato:(Through The Com) Move Out!
Shinji: I'm going to kill that bastard.
Yoshiro: Likewise.
Asuka:(yelling) Charge!
(Unit's 01, 02, and 05 all ran towards The Jackal. Unit-02 fired both rifles while running at
him. The Jackal got blasted in the face, chest and legs. He fell down and fire flew around
him.)
Damien: Pathetic. Your bullets can't hurt me!
(A fireball flew forward and hit Unit-02 in the chest, knocking it to the ground. A large
beam flew at the now standing Damien, hitting him in the chest and blasting through. Fire
swarmed about Damien's center and his chest regenerated.)
Sushio: Damn You!
(Unit-06 threw the rifle to the ground and pulled out it's progressive knife, charging at
Damien.)
Sushio: I'll rip you limb from limb!
Yuko:(Shouting) Sushio!
(Unit-01 tackled Unit-06 to the ground.)
Shinji:(Yelling) Do you want to get yourself killed?!
(Unit-06 threw Unit-01 off of it.)
Sushio:(Coldly) Stay out of my way.
(Unit-06 turned around.)
Sushio:(Shouting) FUCK!
(A fire ball hit Unit-06 directly in the chest. Unit-06 flew into a hill and deactivated.)
Shinji: Surround him and attack simultaneously!
(Unit-01, 04, 05, 07, and Gamma surrounded Damien. Each then launched an attack.
Unit-01 stabbed, Unit-04 thrust the lance forward, 05 sliced with both swords, 07 swept at
his legs and Unit-Gamma shot a positron beam and a full clip in Damien's head. All hit
him at once and he fell to the ground.)
Damien:(Laughing) Fools!
(A huge blast erupted from under them and each of them was thrown a long distance.
Unit-05 deactivated and the plug ejected. Yoshiro took a chance and ran to a Nerv
entrance. He made it. Unit-01 landed on the hillside. Unit-04 landed on top of it. Unit-07
was hurled into a building and Yuko just stayed in her Eva, shock was visible on her face.
Unit-Gamma was held by Damien. Damien smiled wickedly and ripped the Eva's arms off.
Natalia screamed.)
Damien: Silence!
(He punched right through the Eva's center. Ripped it in half and threw the remains to
the ground. The Eva was still active.)
*Inside Natalia's Plug*
(Natalia coughed a small amount of blood out in the plug. She looked at the cuts on her
arms.)
Natalia:(Thinking) I'm going to bleed to death!(Out Loud, Yelling) I'll kill you!
(Damien lifted Unit-Gamma up by it's neck and brought it's face close to his.)
Damien: I think ripping eating your head ought to be a good punishment for such a threat!
(Damien opened his mouth wide and began to bring Unit-Gamma's head inside. In one
swift movement, Unit-Gamma grabbed three grenades and shoved them down Damien's
mouth. Natalia smiled.)
Natalia: I'm taking you with me!
(Natalia pulled the self destruct switch when the grenades exploded. Unit-Gamma also
exploded. Damien erupted with fire and bits of his body flew around. One of them began
to melt. Suddenly it formed Damien in his human body. He flew to the headquarters and
broke in.)
Voice: Fire!
(A hail storm of bullets flew straight at Damien. It hit him everywhere knocking him to the
ground. He got back up and breathed in deep. All of the bullet holes disappeared. He
grinned, his mouth full and spit bullets at incredible speed. The men in front of him were
mowed down and turned into unrecognizable hunks of blood and muscle.
*The Main Bridge*
Claeo: He's coming!
Aoba: Scout team has vanished. There heart monitors are all flat line.
Hyuga: He's cutting all of the video feeds. Tracing movement.
Kazumi: He's in the hospital wing.
Doctor:(Through Radio, Frantic) Somebody help us! He's going room to room and
destroying everything. We can't stop him!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGHH!
(A crunching sound is heard and blood spays on the monitor before it is destroyed.
Yoshiro comes running in with a Kodachi long blade.)
Yoshiro: He's after the baby. He wants to start the Apocalypse.
Fyutski: Order the evacuations of all medical wings. I want all personal to get to Central
Dogma immediately.
Misato:(Yelling) Status on the pilots!
Kazumi: Oh God.
Aoba: Unit-Gamma is gone. The remaining Units are searching for the plug. Unit-02 and
06 have returned to Headquarters and are awaiting orders.
Hyuga: Unit-Gamma's pilot's life signs are reaching borderline. The plug must have been
nearly crushed. I'm surprised she survived the explosion.
Misato: Flood the hospital wings with Bakelite. We need to buy some time.
Aoba: Unit-Gamma's plug has been retrieved. Unit-01, 04, and 07 are returning to
headquarters. Unit-05 is non active and lying on the cliff outside the east entrance.
Claeo: He's coming.
Yoshiro: I know. I'm going to face him. This sword is the legendary Firebird. It's a holy
sword used by the Christian Daimyos in the times of Feudal Japan. The metal has been
folded so many times it shouldn't break. I will challenge him myself.
Claeo: You won't live. But I have my faith in you. I will pray to Ra to protect you.
Yoshiro:(Smiles) Thanks.
Kazumi: The Bakelite is being broken in a steady pattern through the halls. He knows
she's not in there.
Misato: Where's Commander Ikari.
Hyuga: Undetermined. We've lost track of him.
Aoba: Wait! I've found him! He's in Terminal Dogma.
Kazumi: The target has dropped through shaft B. He's heading to Terminal Dogma!
Fyutski: It's too late.
*Terminal Dogma*
(Commander Ikari stands before the giant form of Lilith, whose legs are now almost
solidified, waiting. When he hears the crash he actually smiles and Laughs. It's a crazy
type of laugh. He whips around grinning at the menacing face of Damien.)
Gendo: It's too bad really.
Damien: What?
Gendo: The fact that your own daughter will not obey you. And that you will soon die.
(Unit-Zeta merges from the lake of LCL. It reaches out and grabs Damien.)
Damien: Your toy can't hurt me.
Gendo:(Stops smiling, Coldly) Oh yes it can. And It will.
(Unit-Zeta's mouth opened wide and water began to pour from it. Sparkling water.
Damien screams as the water sizzles on his skin and smoke rises up. Suddenly the smoke
and screaming stops and the water stops pouring.)
Gendo:(Surprise) What?!
Damien:(In Pain) Looks like your trick didn't work!
(Damien waves his hand in a sharp movement. The ground beneath Commander Ikari
Erupts in fire. The commander screams as he burns. Damien extinguishes the flames and
laughs at the commander.)
Damien: You are now dead.
(Damien frees himself of the Eva and his eyes turn to fire. Commander Ikari and Unit-Zeta
burst into flames. The crumple down and die. Damien looks up at Lilith. He glares and
Lilith begins to wither away into nothing. She bursts into flame and dies as well. Damien
begins his ascent to Central Dogma.)
*The Main Bridge*
Kazumi: He's approaching Central Dogma! We've been breeched!
(A wall explodes sending a few Tech's over the rails to their death. Damien flies through
ignoring the people around him. He goes straight towards Claeo and the Baby in her arms.
There is a flash of steel and he falls to the ground, a large gash has opened in his side. He
tries to heal it but nothing seems to happen. He looks at Yoshiro, who's standing above
him, holding the sword in a ready stance.)
Yoshiro:(Harshly) Get Up!
(Damien does so.)
Damien: You little shit! I'll tear you limb from limb for that!
Yoshiro: Then you accept my challenge? A duel to the death.
(He picks up a clothed item, keeping an eye on Damien. He throws the cloth away,
revealing a second Kodachi blade. This one however is a normal one. He tosses it to
Damien.)
Yoshiro: A sword fight.
Damien: I hope you know I will kill you.
Yoshiro:(Coldly) I'm ready for that. No magic.
(Damien glares at Yoshiro, but nods.)
Damien: Very well.
Misato:(Thinking) Yoshiro You Idiot!
(They each take their stance and wait. Claeo nods. Yoshiro swipes. Damien blocks. The
two fight back and forth, taking lethal swings at each other and block the attacks. Damien
slashes, Yoshiro Blocks. This goes on for a while. The two move towards the edge and
Yoshiro has his back to the rail. Damien launches a vicious attack, stabbing, swiping,
slashing. Yoshiro blocks and parries them all, but is moved back against the rail. Damien
swipe and Yoshiro moves his head back a small cut appears on his cheek. Suddenly
Yoshiro launches a furious attack. He relentless slashes, blow after blow and keeps going.
He cuts off Damien's left hand.)
Damien:(Yelling, in pain) Damn You! It's the holy sword Firebird!
Yoshiro: That's right!
(The two continue the fight. Various people starting shouting out insults at Damien and
Cheering Yoshiro on. Yuko runs in fallowed by the others to see what happening. She
spots Yoshiro and Damien.)
Yuko:(Screams) Yoshiro!
(Yoshiro drops his guard for a second, looking back at Yuko, and Damien takes his chance.
Damien stabs catching Yoshiro in the Chest. Yoshiro's body jolts and he looks at Damien
stunned. Damien has a victorious smile on his face. The crowd of people gasp as one.)
Yuko:(Stunned) Nooo!
(Then Yoshiro grins wickedly and slashes at Damien's neck. Damien rases his arm. It gets
cut through and his head is lopped off. It flies in the air and lands a sickening thud at
Yuko's feet. Yoshiro pulls the sword out of his chest, dropping his own. His clatters to the
floor. He falls to the ground wheezing and gasping for air. Blood is flowing freely out of
his wound. Yuko runs to him crying. He rests his head on her lap and he looks up at her.
His lip is quivering and blood is trickling out of his mouth onto her plug suit.)
Yuko:(Crying) It's all my fault!
Yoshiro:(Whispering) I'm sorry, I won't be able to take you out to dinner t-t-t-t-tonight.
I'm bleeding on you. I-I-I-I-I wanted t-t-t-t-to te-e-ell you, I l-love yo-u.
Yuko:(Crying) Oh god why!
Yoshiro: Ssshh, don't cry. I wanted you t-t-to l-live.(He shivers) It's getting c-cold.
Misato: Where the fuck is the Medic!
Yoshiro:(Shivering) So c-c-cold. . .
(Yoshiro stopped breathing then. His skin was pale. His eyes began to glaze over. Yuko
hugged him to herself and cried.)
Claeo:(Softly) It's over.
(Claeo's baby finally stopped crying and became quiet. It snuggled into Claeo's chest.
Yuko begins to calm down as the medical officers cover Yoshiro's body and put him on a
stretcher. She picks up his sword and watches them take him away. Then she wipes her
tears and walks to Claeo. Rei is crying on Shinji's shoulder. Asuka on Sushio's. The two
boys just stare at Yuko and Claeo.)
Yuko: What are you going to name her.
Claeo: I think I've got a good name for her. I'm going to name her Yoshi.
Yuko:(Smiles Her lip quivering) That's a fine name.
(Yuko then walks out.)
*A Cliff Side Park, Tokyo-3. Four Years Since Yoshi's Birth*
(On the cliff overlooking Tokyo-3 there are a group of people sitting. There is a tall, thin,
young man with green colored hair dressed in a white t-shirt and black pants. A red
haired, thin, young woman is seated playfully on his lap. She wears a yellow sun dress. A
thin, brown haired young man is seated across from them on the grass. He's wearing a
white t-shirt and black pants as well. A young, thin, blue/grey haired girl is seated next to
him. She wears a white sun dress and is resting her head on his shoulder. A thin, tan,
brown haired, young woman is to the right of the two couples. She's wearing a blue sun
dress with white flowers on it and playing with a little girl. The girl is about 4 years old
and wears a little school uniform like the one her mother had to wear in school. And a thin
green haired young woman is sitting in the tree above staring out at the landscape. She
where's a white lab coat, a black miniskirt, and a blue shirt. Her tennis shoes are the only
thing that makes one question her profession.)
Yuko:(Thinking) I still don't believe that Shinji and Rei are still going to pilot the Eva's.
(A black car pulls up from the road and parks in the parking lot. The driver door opens.
The group looks at the person exiting. She was tall, thin, with brown hair and almond eyes.
She's wearing a Nerv Captain's uniform(Red Jacket. Green cargo shorts. Brown shirt.)
And she has a patch over her left eye. Her legs have a few very light scars in various places.
Wound's inflicted from that fateful day.)
Natalia:(Calling out to them) Sorry I'm late.
Shinji:(Calling Back) No problem. We were just talking.
Rei: We wouldn't eat without you.
(She walks up to them smiling.)
Asuka: How did the tests go?
Natalia: Badly as normal, but we are closer to bending the Bravo's to our will. Since both
Unit-Zeta and Gamma were destroyed there's nothing we can really do.(Looks up at Yuko)
Dr. Ibuki was pretty cross because you never showed up Yuko.
Yuko: I'll have a talk with her soon. She's probably going to bug me about it until I clear
my slate.
(Yoshi comes running up to them, fallowed by Claeo. Claeo sits down, Yoshi on her lap.
Yuko jumps down from the tree and sits in between Claeo and Shinji, Natalia sits between
Asuka and Rei.)
Natalia: Hello Yoshi.
(The little girl smiles at her and waves happily.)
Sushio: She's still not speaking?
Claeo: She speaks a little at home, but she's very quiet around a group of people. When
she gets older she'll start talking in with other people, I hope.
(Rei leans over to the left. There is a picnic basket, paper plates, and a cooler with drinks
in it. There is also a bouquet of flowers. She picks up the picnic basket and places it in the
center of the picnic blanket. The group begins to un pack assorted food and drink and
begins to eat. Yuko is eating Soba noodles in miso broth and drinking a can of green tea.
Rei is eating sharing a plate of salad with Shinji and drinking a can of American cola.
Shinji has a can of American Diet Cola. Sushio is sharing a few sausages and some mashed
potatoes with Asuka and drinking a can of Yebisu. Asuka too is drinking a can of Yebisu.
Natalia, is eating a roast beef, cheese, lettuce, and tomato sandwich while drinking a can of
Yebisu. They all eat slowly. Laughing and talking starts soon.)
Asuka: Remember when Shinji dared Kensuke to run up and down the street with his
pants sagging half way down his but and the top of his shirt over his head? And his pants
fell down and he tripped falling into the lake?
(They all laugh.)
Sushio: Or when Misato came home drunk with Kaede and the two flopped down in the
same bed. I remember waking up hearing them both scream!
(All of them laugh.)
Natalia: Or when Yoshiro did that impersonation of Commander Ikari.
(Natalia put on a cold looking face and crossed her arms.)
Natalia: Send all units except for Unit-01. Destroy the target.
(All of them laugh except for Yuko. Yuko looks at her watch.)
Yuko: I have to leave.
Shinji: You sure you want to go alone?
Yuko: Yeah. I swore it would be alone.
Rei: Say hi for us.
(Yuko gets up and starts walking to her car.)
Yuko:(Calling over her shoulder) OK I'll tell him you guys said Hi.
(They all wave her off as she gets in her red sports car and drives off. She drives for some
time through the winding roads to the highway. She cruises the highway with the air
conditioning on full blast and the music turned up loudly. She exits the highway and drives
to through the town. A memory jolts into her mind.)
~=+{[(Flash Back)]}+=~
(Misato is standing before the pilots in a small room with a TV and VCR behind her. The
security agent handed Misato a video tape. Written on the tape is: My Last Wish. . .)
Misato: Thank you.
(The man leaves. She turns to the pilots who are seated before her. All except for one.
Natalia is in a wheelchair, since she's on heavy rehabilitation. The pilots are all dressed in
their school uniforms.)
Misato: Nerv Security found this in Yoshiro's locker.
(Misato holds up the tape.)
Misato: I'll only play it if it's what you want to see.
(Yuko nods. The rest nod as well. Misato turns around and puts it in the tape player. The
TV screen comes on and the tape begins to play. The pilots are shocked to see Yoshiro.)
Yoshiro: If you are watching this. I'm dead. There are probably a few questions you
would have asked had I lived through the fight. Where did I get the sword? I don't know
how I got it. I found it in my locker with a note. The note said. "Cut the snakes head off,
and it will not bite." Why did I challenge him? I learned that the sword was a magical
sword. It was holy. I'm sorry Yuko. I had to do it. Remember never take the easy path.
Pain will plague you no matter where you go. I love you. It's not about your looks, your
body, or the fact that you pilot Eva. I love you for you. Maybe someday we'll meet again.
My last wish. I don't want to be cremated, with a plaque in the Nerv memorial space. I
want to be buried in the cemetery in the Temple of Naga. Naga was my god. I must go to
him now. Please don't think about me if it causes pain. Think of the good times we had.
All of you. I wish I could live with you all. But I will be waiting when the day comes. I'll
see you soon I hope. Yuko. Please, visit my grave on the anniversary of my death. Leave
me a flower. Talk to me so I might hear your voice where ever I am. I love you. I'll miss
all of you. Good bye, Misato, Kaede. Shinji and Rei, you have my blessings. Sushio,
Asuka, live together happily. Claeo, take care of your baby. Natalia, watch yourself. Even
though I never got to know you. The 4 days we knew each other was fun. Yuko, I leave
you my legacy, you'll know where to find it, when the time comes. Good Bye. I love you.
Good bye.
(Yoshiro reached up to the camera and shut it off. The image was replaced by static.)
Yuko:(Softly) What legacy?
Sushio: He said you'd know.
Yuko: What's a legacy?
Misato: It's got a lot of meanings. Usually it's to carry on the future. In this case, it could
be his prized possessions. We can't be sure until you find it.
Asuka: I wonder what it is.
Shinji:. . .
(Pain is visible on Shinji's face.)
Sushio: It could be anything. What do you think Yuko?
Yuko:(distressed) I don't know.
Asuka: But he said you'd know where to find it.
Yuko: Well yeah, but I-
Natalia: Wh-en the ti-me co-mes.
(Natalia winces in pain.)
Shinji:(Angrily) Shut Up! All of you! How can you think of his legacy over him? What
kind of friends are you?! He saved the world. He saved our miserable lives for gods sake.
Show him some god damn respect!
(Everyone is silent after Shinji's sudden outburst. Rei speaks first.)
Rei: Let us remember him for him. For the fun we had. The battles we fought. Let us
remember him. Yuko, you don't have to tell us anything when you find his legacy, if ever.
Until then let us forever remember him as our friend. Let us remember the fun times we
had. The things we all did as a family. Not a group of friends. He deserves more than to
be called a friend. He was a brother to all of us. He's killed Damien. Saved Claeo's life.
Saved all of the world. Protected us in battle. He'd taken the majority of damage to his
Eva in each battle. He was our brother. We were the family he never really had. His
mother never responded to his death. Fuck, she never even answered when he called her
from home. From now on we all promise to never forget him. No matter what.
(Everyone nods in agreement. A bit shaken up at hearing Rei talk for such a period of
time.)
Yuko: I'm leaving.
(Yuko gets up, tears flowing from her eyes and walks to the door. There's a flash of white
light. The flash back Ends.)
~=+{[(Reality)]}+=~
Yuko: I still haven't found it yet, Yoshiro.
(Yuko is leaning on her drivers wheel, parked in the lot of the temple. She sighs and opens
her car door. She picks up her umbrella from the other seat and the flowers. She opens the
umbrella to keep her self from getting soaked and walks through the temple cemetery. She
glances down at each Grave stone on her way. She stands over Yoshiro's grave.)
Yuko: Hey Yoshiro. I've been keeping my promise as you asked. Shinji, Rei, Claeo,
Sushio, Asuka, and little Yoshi-chan said hi. Although they're afraid to admit it. They
miss you. We all miss you. You saved us all. I miss you the most. You left me alone. I
haven't actually ben very close to any guys except for Shinji and Sushio, they at lest
understand me. Natalia has been promoted to Major. Now they're using the Eva's as
peacekeeping force. The Eva series that we captured those four years ago are being worked
on. We're trying to get them to work. I'm no longer a Lt. I'm Dr. Yuko Kushina now.
Dr. Somato and Misato both retired. They claimed they'd had enough with keeping secrets
and dealing with Nerv and the UN. They are being watched closely by Nerv Intelligence
since that damn Cult was started. Shinji and Rei were married last year. It sure didn't
stop the assassins though. They're fine of course. Intelligence got them before they could
fire their third shots. They missed at least. Sushio noticed the red dot moving up Shinji's
back to his head and he knocked both Rei and Shinji to the ground before the shot was
fired. He and Asuka are engaged. Asuka's pregnant. I'm going to be an Aunt. They
chose the others to be the child's god parents. I'm probably risking my life to visit you. I
managed to ditch Nerv security just to make sure I was alone here. Life has been like hell.
I need you around. I can't stand living in fear that someone is going to kill me at anytime
anymore. I want to be with you again.
(A boom of thunder erupts and a lightning bolt smashes the stone in front of Yuko. A
shower of gravel and rocks hits Yuko and she falls down. One rather large piece hits her in
the head. Her eyes close as she loses consciousness, blood running from her head. A man
from the temple sees her on the ground and runs out towards her. He looks down at her.
He was short, chubby, his head shaved, a kimono on, thong sandals. He kneels down and
listens to her heart rate. His eyes widen as the beat slows. He begins to administer CPR,
but it's all in vain. The heart rate slows to nothing. Yuko's breathing stops. A ghostly
looking Yuko drifts from her body. It looks down at the monk, who is crying over her limp
body. She looks away as her body begins to drift up into the sky. She smile as she sees the
golden gates. Waiting by the gates is a man. He's wearing a tan trench-coat, khaki pants.
He's tall, with a look like he hasn't shaved for a week. He wears a brown rain hat. Yuko
focus's on his eyes, they're green. He smiles at her. When she reaches him, a look of joy is
on her face. She touches the ground of the cloud and jumps at him, squeezing her arms
around his waist tightly.)
Yuko: Yoshiro.
Yoshiro: Yuko, why are you here. It's not your time yet.
Yuko: I don't want to go back.
Yoshiro: But they need you.
(Yuko lets go and steps back looking at him.)
Yuko: Who needs me?
Yoshiro: Your friends.
Yuko: But. I don't want to lose you again.
Yoshiro: You still haven't found it have you.
Yuko: No.
(Yoshiro's smile is gone.)
Yoshiro: Then now you must know.
Yuko: Know what?
Yoshiro: The truth.
(Yuko only stares at Yoshiro.)
Yoshiro: When I died I was scared. Scared that you hated me. I'm sorry I never payed
enough attention to you. When I got here. I was confronted by Krysta. She's up in
heaven, for good now. Her skin was white now. Not the tan that we remember. She gave
me a wish. She granted me one wish. Her last spell. My wish was not to be alive again. I
haven't used the wish. In the box hidden under my grave stone, I left you a note. I used all
my power to descend to Earth to do so. I want to change the past, for better. However it's
you will change it in the long run. Would you like me to make my wish?
(A tear of joy ran down Yuko's cheek.)
Yuko: Yes.
(She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. It was a deep kiss, long and
passionate. They both held it for a long time. It was a kiss no one could describe. Not even
the two who did it.)
Yoshiro: My wish is to go back to the past, before the fatal move made by Damien.
Yuko: I know what to do.
Yoshiro: Lets hope this works.
Yoshiro:(Shouting, looking up) Krysta, I've decided my wish. I wish to return to the past,
before Damien's fatal stab.
(Yuko held Yoshiro tightly as a bright yellow light exploded before her. She closed her eyes
as the two traveled back to the past.)
Yoshiro: This time we do it right!
*The Past*
Damien:(Yelling, in pain) Damn You! It's the holy sword Firebird!
Yoshiro: That's right!
(The two continue the fight. Various people starting shouting out insults at Damien and
Cheering Yoshiro on. Yuko runs in fallowed by the others to see what happening. She
spots Yoshiro and Damien.)
Yuko:(Screams) Yoshiro!
(Yoshiro drops his guard for a second, looking back at Yuko, and Damien takes his chance.
Damien stabs catching Yoshiro in the Chest. Yoshiro's body jolts and he looks at Damien
stunned. Damien has a victorious smile on his face. The crowd of people gasp as one.)
Yoshiro and Yuko:(Yelling) Now You Die!
(A green light shot from Yuko's outstretched arms, it hit Yoshiro's sword as Yoshiro
swung. Damien never even had time to scream. His body was vaporized. Yoshiro fell to
the ground. Yuko was immediately at his side, her hands were bathed in a white light as
she covered his wound. He screamed. He listened to his rib cage being snapping together
and his organs mending back into their original state. Yuko fell over him, exhausted, her
healing power diminished. Yoshiro passed out from the noises of his ribs and organs. His
wounds healed. Yuko moves first, she wraps her arms around Yoshiro and buries her head
in his chest. His eyes open slowly.)
Yoshiro:(Tired) We did it.
Yuko:(Sobbing in joy) Yes we did.
(Everything was quiet for a few seconds. Central Dogma erupted with cheers of joy and
happiness.)
*The Next Day*
(Names were scrolling down the main screen, names of the deceased and missing.)
Gendo Ikari
Deceased.
Platoon B
All members deceased.
Natalia Derech
Confirmed. Alive And Recovering.
Lt. Iru Kozani
Alive.
Kouzou Fyutski
Missing.
(The list ran on with various names continuing down.)
Kazumi:(To Misato, Kaede, Maya, Hyuga, And Aoba) The hospital wings are all down
except for the one in the south sector. Unit-Zeta and Gamma have been completely
destroyed. Commander Ikari is dead. Vice Commander Fyutski has disappeared. Poor
Iru is stuck in the hospital wing going in and out of the emergency room. Natalia has
begun to recover. Do you think Vice Commander Fyutski took off so he could finally leave?
He always acted like he hated it here.
Maya: If he did, we'll leave him alone. Yes he knows vital information, but it's obvious he
doesn't plan on exposing us to risk his own life.
Misato: Since the commanders are both gone, I've been authorized to take full command
immediately by the UN prime minister of Japan. The JSSDF has been investigated and I
have received word that they're gone for good. We are now an official UN Peacekeeping
force.
Hyuga: It's hard to believe that they want to use the Eva's as construction Unit's and
peacekeeping forces.
Misato: At least you don't have to deal with the UN personally. I think it's time we all got
a much deserved vacation. With the Daemon and Angel threats eradicated I think we
deserve the rest. The dummy plugs work, correct? How else could Unit-Zeta have worked
alone like that?
Maya: Yes they have been tested in all of the Eva's. Unit-01 rejects the plug though. We'll
deal with it. If it works with all the others Unit-01 won't be needed.
Aoba: As you requested, we looked at the 11th child's background. It seems she used to be
in a Captain in the Russian Army, until she was chosen to be an Eva pilot.
Misato: Good, since we are not going to be regenerating Unit-Gamma or Zeta, I feel that it
would be necessary to put her in charge of Commanding the Eva's in battle. I want a new
uniform ordered for her. You have her fitting sizes. By the way send the order form to my
office so I can order a new uniform. I'd rather not be forced to wear the original
commanders uniform. Also, have the pilots sent to my new office on the double. We've got
a schedule to keep. Lets move people!
(Misato walked off to her new office.)
Kazumi: What a commander!
Kaede: At least we get a vacation.
Hyuga: I hope she's sure about having Natalia as the new Captain around here.
Maya: I'm sure she know what she's doing.(Thinking) At least, I hope so.
*Misato's New Office, 10 minutes later*
(The old Commander's office is now brightly lit. The window shades are opened letting
some light into the room. Misato is sitting behind the desk looking at the 8 children in
front of her. Yoshiro looked fresh considering he had been stabbed through his chest.
Yuko looked a bit drained. Claeo was holding her baby. Natalia was sitting slightly limply
in her wheel chair, not ready to walk again yet. Sushio was standing next to Asuka. Rei
next to Shinji.)
Misato: Never thought you'd see me behind Commander Ikari's desk did you? Well here's
the recent events. Damien's dead. So is Commander Ikari. I'm now the Commander.
Natalia, you have been promoted to Captain, you'll be commanding the Eva's from now
on.
Natalia:(Surprised) Why me?
Misato: Because of your military background I thought it would be for the best. Unit-Gamma is gone forever. So is Unit-Zeta, but Claeo, you have the baby to look after. Now,
as I promised to Rei and Shinji, I'm going to be funding a vacation to America for you
kids. As soon as Natalia is fit to walk you'll be off to New Los Angeles. From there you'll
be on a nice cruise for relaxation. Summer's started so it ought to be nice and fun for you
kids. I'm not asking any of you to continue piloting anymore. However, if you choose to
it's your decision and you will be allowed to quit at any time. Also, since you are all going
to be graduating High School soon, I've decided to fund a bank account for each of you. A
sum of 1,000,000 yen has been put into each of your accounts.
(She gets up and hands each of the bewildered pilots a piece of paper with all the need-to-know information on it.)
Misato: You are dismissed. Go get some rest. There will be a surprise waiting for you all
in the parking lot.
(The 8 children all leave, bewildered and unable to say anything. Yoshiro breaks the
silence.)
Yoshiro: Lets see what this "surprise" is.
(Claeo rests her baby on Natalia's lap and pushes Natalia's wheel chair. The other walk at
a pace so they can all be moving at the same speed. They move down the hallways and all
squeeze into an elevator. Shinji pushes the garage button. They all are slightly squished
together. Shinji, Sushio, Yoshiro, Rei, Asuka, and Yuko are all blushing because of the
awkward position they are in. The elevator stops and they all get out. The first thing that
catches their eyes are the 4 cars in front of them. All of them are brand new, fancy sports
cars. They are red, blue, and green.)
Rei:(Shocked) This is the surprise?
(Yoshiro is the first one to recover and walk up to the cars. He notices a piece of paper in
each driver seat with a name. The red one's said Shinji, the blue one Sushio, and the green
one said Yoshiro.)
Yoshiro: Shinji, Sushio, these are ours.
(Claeo and Natalia looked a bit envious. They didn't have boyfriends, so they didn't have
someone to drive them around.)
Shinji: Are you serious?
Yoshiro: Yep!
(The others walked up the to cars. Sushio opened the door to his car and opened the glove
box. He found the keys and the manual. He checked his wallet to make sure he had his
license.)
Sushio: Let test these babies out!
(He ignites his engine and revs it. Asuka opens the passenger door and jumps in with
Sushio. Sushio takes off. Shinji and Rei climb aboard Shinji's car. Yoshiro and Yuko get
in Yoshiro's car. Yoshiro and Shinji ignite their engines and take off after Sushio. In all
the commotion, Claeo and Natalia are forgotten. Then they notice a black van with looks
seemingly new. Claeo sees her name written on a piece of paper which is taped to the
windshield. She pushes Natalia's chair to it and helps Natalia into the passenger seat. She
then tears the piece of paper off the windshield, climbs in the driver seat, finds the keys,
ignites the engine and drives after the others.)
Natalia: Have you given her a name yet?
Claeo: I've been trying to think of a good name for her.
Natalia: How about Kimiko? It sounds fitting, neh?
(Claeo smiles.)
Claeo: Yes it does. Quite a suitable name for her. From now on her name is Kimiko.
(Kimiko giggles, a look of approval on her face.)
*Misato's Mansion*
Yuko: I can't believe we forgot them!
Rei: I think I saw them getting into a van before we turned around the corner.
(The children are all seated in the living room on a couch. Yuko is looking tense, worry
showing on her face. The others, save Claeo and Natalia are trying to be calm. Yoshiro
puts his arm around Yuko's shoulders to try and calm her down.)
Yoshiro: I'm sure they're fine. Stop worrying yourself so much.
(The door opened and Natalia came in with Claeo pushing her chair. Kimiko on Natalia's
lap was squealing with glee.)
Claeo: I've decided on a name for her.
(The others listened intently.)
Claeo: Her name is Kimiko Yorashi.
Yoshiro: An excellent name.
Asuka: Good choice.
*4 years later*
(On the hill, where Claeo and Yuko were saved by Krysta and Corsinth, their was a lot of
noise. Many people were gathered on the hill. Kids were playing in the park. Everyone
was wearing a suit or dress. Seats were placed in two sections. Each section had 5 rows of
5 seats. A lovely border of white fence, covered in flowers went around in a square. It
surrounded a stage which was setup in the south section. A large arch was open in the
back to let people walk in. 2 large booths were setup on each side, outside of the main
setup. An isle separated the two sections of chairs and tables. Inside one of the booths was
Rei, Asuka, Yuko, Claeo, Hikari, and Natalia. Rei was looking very radiant in a lovely
white silken wedding Kimono. Asuka wore a blue business woman's dress. Yuko's was cut
off at the shoulders and colored jade-green. Claeo had a pretty black traditional Egyptian
dress. Hikari was wearing a lovely amber colored mini skirt. and Natalia had her Officer's
Dress Uniform. Her medals and decorations were shining brightly.)
Asuka: It's about time, I thought he'd never ask. How'd you get him to pop the question?
Rei:(Nervously) I'd rather not tell you guys until afterwards. I'm still pretty nervous about
this.
Natalia: Yes we still aren't sure if the Blue Heavens Cult has intentions of sniping anyone
out during the wedding. I've taken care of everything. This place is being completely cut
off to anyone who is not on the guest list. That means no uninvited guests, including Nerv
personal.
Claeo:(Jokingly) You sure have been taking charge.
Natalia: That's because my only obligations are Nerv and my friends, you guys.
Yuko:(Teasing) No boyfriend yet.
Natalia: No. But that will change in the course of time.
Asuka: Just hope you don't end up like Misato. I still haven't figured out why Kaji left her
in the first place. Those two really loved each other.
Rei: I believe I saw his name on the guest list.
Asuka:(Shocked) What?!
Rei: I could be wrong, but I think I saw it. I was probably seeing things though.
Asuka: Maybe he's here in disguise.
Natalia: If he's not on the list he's not here. Besides, I heard Misato was forced to kill him
after Fyutski's abduction in 2015.
(Asuka looked a bit hurt by that. She shrugged it away though and began to chatter with
Claeo, Yuko, and Natalia.)
Asuka: Hey, Yuko! When do you think Yoshiro's going to ask.
(Yuko only raised her right hand to Asuka, Claeo, and Natalia. The three woman had
astonished looks on their faces.)
Hikari:(To Rei) You're marrying a fine man. He's a very good hearted person. You've got
to care for him and he will defiantly care for you. He loves you with all his heart.
Rei: And I love him with all my heart and more.
Hikari: I'm very proud of both of you. You two used to be the two lonely kids in class. No
one would talk to you aside form Touji, Kensuke, Asuka, and Myself because they were
afraid of you. You two have truly matured.
Rei: Thank you. (Thinking) I wonder how Shinji is. . .
*The Other Booth*
Touji: Shinji you lucky dog. You're marrying one of the prettiest girls we ever knew.
(Shinji was also wearing a traditional Wedding Kimono, his was a variety of dark colors.
Touji, Kensuke, Sushio, and Yoshiro were also in the booth. They all wore black tuxedos.)
Shinji: Yes, but the only way I can keep our lives off the streets is by continuing to work for
Nerv.
Yoshiro: You're still working for them?
Shinji: Yeah, Rei and I both agreed that it was for the best so far. We're thinking of
something else later on.
Kensuke: Man, after all these years they still won't let me be a pilot. I can't believe my
luck.
Sushio: Trust me man, it's not as fun as you think. The things that have happened to us
can only be described as a nightmare.
Yoshiro: You don't want to join Nerv as an Eva pilot. Trust me.
Shinji: Don't let it discourage you though, You might at least be able to work for Nerv as
something else.
Kensuke: Maybe.
Touji: Anyone got the time?
(Yoshiro pulled his sleeve up and checked his watch.)
Yoshiro: It's time. You ready Shinji?
Shinji: Yes.
Touji: I still don't understand why you two are wearing Kimono's.
Shinji: Now that, was Rei's idea. She wanted to keep it a bit traditional.
Sushio: Good luck.
(Sushio, Kensuke, Touji, and Kensuke all left to find their seats.)
Shinji: Here it goes.
(Shinji stepped out. Yoshiro was waiting. The two both walked up the isle slowly. Yoshiro
was chosen as best man because of his fight with Damien. When they reached the front
where Misato and Natalia were waiting they stopped and looked up the isle. Misato was
chosen to marry the two since none of the Shinto fathers would. They all claimed that Nerv
and all it's employ's were heretics, not to be blessed by the Shinto Gods because of their
fights against the angels. Hell was a different thing altogether. Natalia was the ring bearer
and held both rings for Shinji and Rei. The music started as Rei walked down the isle,
Yuko and Hikari were following her, dropping flower heads on the isle and throwing them
about. When Rei reached the front, she was beaming at Shinji, who in part was smiling.
Shinji began to wonder if he was going deaf from all the fighting. He didn't hear Misato
begin to speak and wed the two. All he could do was stare into Rei's eyes. Those red orbs
which seemed to gleam with her love for him. His hearing returned suddenly.)
Misato: Do you, Shinji Ikari, take Rei, your beloved, to cherish in sickness and in health.
To love, hold, and honor till death do you part?
Shinji: I do.
Misato: Do you, Rei Ayanami, take Shinji, your beloved, to cherish in sickness and in
health. To love, protect, and honor till death do you part?
Rei:(Softly) I do.
Misato: The rings, please.
(Touji seemed to jerk a bit when he handed the two little cases to each Rei and Shinji. Rei
put the ring on Shinji's finger first. Shinji put the other on Rei's finger. They both gazed
into each others eyes.)
Misato: You may now kiss the bride.
(Shinji put his arms around Rei and they kissed, a passionate kiss which lasted a good 2
minutes. To them everything froze, they were brought back to reality by cheering of the
crowd. The two broke the kiss and Rei turned. She threw the flowers out to the awaiting
girls. There was a jump and Yuko emerged victorias. People began to leave when Shinji
noticed a red dot moving up Rei's kimono, it reminded him of a laser pointer it suddenly
dawned on him when he heard someone yell to him.)
Voice:(Yelling) Get Down!
(Shinji and Rei both jumped to the ground as the shots rang out. The shooter wasted no
time in taking one more shot. He missed when Shinji grabbed Rei and the two rolled to
one side. Another shot rang out. Security began to fire upon a man who was wearing a
black robe, running across the playground. One shot caught the man in the leg behind his
knee. He fell and crawled. More shots were fired and the man stopped moving. He was hit
about 5 times in various places.)
Rei: It was just too good to be true.
Shinji: Well we are all alive.
(They both opened their eyes to see someone familiar standing over them. Kaji Ryouji.)
Shinji:(Surprised) Kaji?
Kaji: Did you miss me?
(Kaji laughed a bit.)
Misato:(Shocked) What?!
Kaji:(To Misato) We'll talk later. First the evacuation.
(A few evacuation helicopters touched down and Nerv personal as well as the former pilots
ran to it. They all boarded and sat in the awaiting seats. The helicopters took off soon.
Rei was leaning on Shinji's shoulder.)
Rei: Never expected my honeymoon to be like this.
Shinji: Oh this is only to start. From what I hear, we'll be in the audience of a few
weddings soon.
Rei: Oh really? Yoshiro told you did he?
Shinji: I was the first to hear from him.
Rei:(Smiling) Well, it nice that everything has turned out so well.
Shinji: Yes. Yes it is.
*2 Years Later*
(Claeo's house is completely empty. No one is around. Her journal is on the counter left
open.)
Journal: 15-3-2024
Well it's been 6 years since that battle. I still can't believe we won. We're all going over to
the States on vacation. Nerv has been going steady since then. It was dissolved recently
and reformed with the same staff and personal. Now it's known as T. A. C. F., Tactical
Armored Command Force. Sushio and Asuka were wed recently and invited us on their
honeymoon, which I found strange. Still we are invited. I'll be taking Kimiko with me.
She's six now. She learns fast. Natalia has been talking to me about how much potential
she would have as an Eva pilot. I was forced to tell her I would not allow my daughter to
pilot an Eva. Too much pain has been caused by Project E. My daughter will not be a
part of it. However she's been tested as a user of Kinetic energy. She's able to move things
with thought command. I myself found this out when I was bringing her to school one day.
We almost got steam rolled by a truck when the car miraculously floated above the truck
and set down gently behind it. I was scared to death! I had Kimiko run through many
tests by Yuko and Maya. The two told me the information and now I need to talk to
Kimiko about it. The trip will be a good time to do it. Yoshiro is now in REAC, Remote
Evangelion Action Command. The dummy plug system has been altered so it can only
follow an order by his command. I think it's a good step up for him. He and Yuko have
been living happily together for 1 now. Gracious sakes alive! We're going to be late for
the plane.
