Chapter 2 - The Dragon That Flies Among Angels


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~2 months after Shinji's return to Tokyo-3...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


[Military School]

Shinji was busy listening to his SDMp3, waiting for his friends to arrive.

His two childhood friends were still studying on the same school for the past 9 years he had fled. The 'Three Stooges' were reunited upon his return. When Shinji came back to this school, Touji And Kensuke were the only ones who knew him. They're also not surprised as the entire class is about Shinji's iron ball chain restraint.

The heavy chained ball was attached to his left foot when he was sent to school. His father still didn't trust him on staying put at one place. Shinji could easily drag the ball, the problem is that it has a tampering and escaping proof and a tracking bug. Whenever he tries to take it of, it emits a small zap of painful electricity and it paralyzes his leg whenever he tries to escape the premises during school hours. The only thing the Nerv Intelligence forgot when they restrained Shinji is that The boy could take it off whenever he realized he could.

Shinji was sent to Military school in advanced courses to make him study things he should have learned since his departure. A person of his stature must learn the ways of his promised throne. Being a baron means being able to make decisive strategies, sending men to either doom or victory and all that crap. The young Ikari might not like inheriting this job, but it is his responsibility as a nobleman.

The class representative started giving orders as their sensei entered the classroom. Touji and Kensuke arrived late; they apparently seemed to have been running due to their ruffled clothes damp with sweat.

"Kensuke, that info you got on the girl's changing room isn't reliable! We almost got caught! It wasn't even the right room!" The taller boy scolded his friend

"How am I supposed to know that it was the guy's changing room instead? Besides they didn't see our faces anyway..." replied Touji's sidekick defensively.

As Touji entered the classroom, he bumped on the class representative's posterior. She was on mid-bow when Touji stumbled over her. After a few exchange of volatile words and a few good slaps (mostly from Hikari) Touji and Kensuke got punished for being late and disrupting the class by holding buckets of water out at the hallway.

*Sigh*

The trio didn't meet today at the morning, thus Shinji felt bored and lonely. The only cadets that ever talk to him were his buddies. The young Ikari sat at the empty seat in the middle of the classroom.

After the attendance list is checked, Major Misato Katsuragi began to narrate the history of 'the angel wars' during 2015 A.D. from where they left off yesterday. Soon the teacher began to drift of to sleep with her head resting on her hands and legs sprawled around under, a result of another morning beer. Most of the boys paid their attention under the teacher's desk, where they tried and failed to receive a glimpse of the sexy major's panties while the girls got angry and started chatting about chauvinistic pigs and whatnot. Though Misato's skirt may be very short, it always manages to keep her decent whenever she sat down. Shinji avoided looking down but his nose flared, threatening to burst out blood.

<The guy's sure picked the wrong day to be late! > The young Ikari deducted.

Sure enough, the afore mentioned guys are muttering outside about their bad luck.

The young Ikari cleared his mind and started taking notes.

As usual, Shinji didn't know that he was being stared at by a blue haired girl at the desk at the far southwest from his by the window. To the class, this strange behavior from the albino girl became a habit that it no longer amuses them.

The blue haired girl was a mystery among the class. What is known on her profile is that her name is Rei Ayanami and she is a daughter of one of the Baron's colleagues during the great meteor strike 17 years ago. Her parent died when she was 7 years old, thus Gendo took her in and raised her like his daughter. She resides at the Nerv fortress barracks like the rest of the cadets. Shinji was also residing at the barracks, the only exception is that his room more of a maximum-security prison. His curfew is tightly limited.

His fellow cadets weren't successful at telling Shinji about Rei's attraction towards him because he would just vomit on the spot, pass out and forget about it altogether.

Shinji has a certain little quirk about girls. He would retch whenever he received at least an innuendo about sexual encounters, let alone the real thing. Most of the girls in class found him cute. Him being allergic to girls is what makes them hinder at making at approaching the poor boy.

That's why Touji and Kensuke didn't bring him along. They knew he would understand. As luck would have it, Shinji was spared from the wrath of the sensei and the class representative, and also the possibility of being labeled as gay if he got caught with his friends at the 'boys changing room' while trying to peek at girls (non-existent in that area).

*Splash! *

Kensuke apparently couldn't hold the buckets anymore, incurring the promise of more punishments to come.

Thus another ordinary school day passes by.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~6 hours later...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Nerv Fortress]

The young Ikari is escorted through the Evangelions' cages. Gendo has sent for Shinji to give Eva Unit-01 it's first test run in millenniums.

He arrives at Unit-01's reconstructed cage.

After years of repair and remodeling, his designated Evangelion remains an enigma. Fearing that they may never be able to control it, they put it off to side and pressed on with the other stable Evangelions. Now that they had re-modified the other evolved Evangelions, Nerv started back again at Unit-01. They were just partially successful. The only successful thing they ever did to the purple demon is to make new adjustments to its new form. It now resembled a satanic figure of a warlord's category.

Ancient technology wasn't perfected, thus the technicians compensated on current mecha technology. It's the same with usual mecha found everywhere. Such machines were called 'labors'. Having been around robots their whole lives, the first parents made plans for the labors in hope to recreate their lost Evas. But of course, such mechas were only made centuries after. The new population used these 'lesser Evas' in constructions and such to further mankind's much needed progress.

Shinji looked around the cage as he gazed at the tall labors finishing final preparations on Enigmatic Unit.

The main problem left unsettled was activating it. No pilot candidates were able to synchronize, thus they initiated plan b - Shinji. Having the highest proclivity rates there is, he was their last resort. They didn't want Shinji to pilot it on the first place in fear of it disappearing with the boy on his 'exploits of terror around the world'. (That's their excuse, not the Baron's. Gendo just doesn't want a crybaby to pilot a war machine.)

After donning his purple and silver plug suit, he was escorted to the entry plug.
The entry plug was still the same after millenniums of dormancy.

{Pilot Ikari Shinji, have you properly settled down?} Asked Dr. Ritsuko Akagi, the main Chairperson for the Project E-II (Evangelion Project#2).

"...I think so." The boy replied, feeling unsure of what to feel in this position.

{We shall commence starting procedures, please wait for further instructions}

"Sorry, I'm late!" called out Major Katsuragi to her friend.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! How you got to be the Field operations director, I may never know." replied Dr. Akagi.

"So, is my student in yet?"

"But of course! The boy may be wild in his own accord, but he's still more mature than you. He came earlier than expected."

"Oh, Shut Up!"

"Chairperson, may I remind you that we are on a tight schedule here. Continue your conversation elsewhere when this is over." Gendo Scolded.

Dr. Ritsuko blushed and a hint of annoyance filled her cheeks.

"Humph! Understood."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~10 minutes later...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Unit-01 entry plug]

{Filling the entry plug with LCL.}

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!!!" Shinji asked hysterically, fearing of being drowned.

{This liquid is LCL; it shall bring oxygen directly into your lungs.} Replied the Dr.

{Be a man Shinji! Deal with it!} Misato scolded.

After a few minutes of orientation to the liquid, the young Ikari finnaly got the hang of it.

{Commencing Synchronization.}

Shinji suddenly jerked back on his seat, clutching his head in extreme agony.

"Ug-raaaaAAH!!!"

{Pilot, what's going on?}

Images flared and flashed before Shinji's eyes.

An enormous dark figure with some bones covering it as armour
Another monster with bright tentacles
A huge blue diamond floating in the sky
A whale-like monstrosity
Two identical giants
A falling red titan in a hellish pit
A spider like creature
An eye on a collision course
A shadow in the sky
A dark titan
An enemy with wildly dangerous arms
A bright raptor in the sky
A ring of light
A gray haired boy
White giant raptors
A blue haired angel
Death
Rebirth
Pain
Intense pain

"UGRAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!"

"Sir! Neural connections are fluctuating!" reported a technician.

"The sync ratio feeds are off the scale!!!"

"This didn't happen before! This is crazy!!! Get the pilot out of there!!!" exclaimed Misato.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Two days later...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Nerv Infirmary]

Shinji woke up in a hospital room. He stretched his arms and held his head, curling his body in a fetal position.

"..........I...I-I can't..."

He stood up and searched for his clothes...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~10 minutes later...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Shinji, Are you awa-" Misato came in with some flowers and was surprised that the room was unoccupied.

The major checked the paper stating Shinji's hospital room then looked back at the number at the door.

"What the hell?!!" She exclaimed as she tripped on something.

She examined the offending object.

It was an Iron ball, apparently tampered with and the circuitry within was ravaged.

"Shinji, you idiot!" Misato yelled as she kicked the Iron ball.

"Ouch!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~12 Hours later...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Nerv fortress Headquarters]

"Sir! An entity has emerged from under sea and is rapidly approaching to our location!"

"Set battle stations to level 3." Commanded Fuyutsuki.

"What's the status of Unit-00?" Asked Gendo

"It's already ready for launch, sir."

"Why only Unit-00?" inquired the subcommander

"The boy ran away again..."

New sets of warning signs blared.

"Sir! Unit-01 has activated by itself.!"

Everyone looked up at the screen showing the afore mentioned Unit's cage.

Most Nerv personnel watched in horror as the purple titan tore it's restraints like paper. Suddenly, it transformed to a winged monster and busted out of the premises in a blink.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Some forest somewhere else (probably a nature reserve)]

Shinji was hiking along a path when a 90-story tall monster's foot slamed down 15 miles in front of him, creating an artificial earthquake.

The boy got thrown off balanced.

"OH MY GOD! WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS THAT?!!!" The young Ikari screamed as he watched with morbid fascination at the Hell Spawn towering before him.

The thing gave a terrifying roar. With extreme perception for locating fear, the Demon set its sights on the scared kid. As it started to go after Shinji, A burst of wind blew over and took the boy with it. The demon growled and then continued it's original course to Tokyo-3.

Shinji was so afraid that he kept his eyes closed throughout the wind ride, while screaming his lungs off. When the wind got slower, he got thrown of on a grass plain.

"Ouch! Arrgh! What now?!" Shinji whined as he dusted himself off while cursing his bad luck.

He notices that there was a shadow towering over him. The same feeling of dread crept up on him again.

The young Ikari slowly turned around.

There, genuflecting before him was Unit-01.

End of chapter 2
Next chapter 3: Opening the first can of Whoop-Ass


Author's Jiba-jaba?


As you all would know from my previous chapter, I didn't stop only on mixing this fic with Slayers and Escaflowne. Since I was on a roll on mixing my favorite animes, I thought "What the hell! Go nuts!!!"

So this is the main list of animes and their unique properties I'm adding to the pot:


*Story mix*

>Mix them 'Final Fantasy 5,6,7 & 8' style!<
(Evangelion) main plot background
(Slayers) 2nd plot background
(Escaflowne) mecha design and royalty plot
(Patlabor) mecha plot


*Character mix*
(Ranma 1/2) Ranma's 'suitor' problems and fighting ability {learns quickly}
(Trigun) Vash's elusiveness {also his bullet point blank range evasion}, Bounty and gun fighting ability
(Rurouni Kenshin) Kenshin's 'divine speed' and sword technique, Sanosuke's durability
(Irresponsible Captain Tylor) Tylor's hidden genius {battle tactics}
(Dna^2) Junta's 'girl' allergy {vomits on contact and/or exposure to sexual or sensual stuff}
(Dragonball Z) Super-saiyans' gold hair power boost effect




I'm still thinking of adding some more......I'll list the new ones at the the next chapter, if there is any new things to add.



P.S.:

This fic is going to be an alternate 'aftermath/sequel' to my first fanfic, "Project Messiah - codename: Shinji". It is the result of an alternate ending when the Messiah {Shinji} didn't choose rebirth but continued on from the unpopulated Earth with Asuka.

The some of the 'character mix' are also included in "Project Messiah - codename: Shinji"
