Authors Notes: This is a kind of cross over between Dragon Ball Z and Evangelion. I know that this may be taken as a sort of rip off of Xed Alpha's story EVA Possibilities and Fusion Pandemonium, but I assure you that I had been working on this at least a week before that story came out on ff. It may be true that I have been encouraged to work on this because of the great time that I have had and will have reading that story, but that is really where the connection ends.

This story was the result of my own boredom one day, when I thought of the idea, and without giving it much thought I started to write it. It is not ment to be taken seriously at all, but as a sort of amusing way to pass the time for me. Please don't think of this as a completely serious work of my own, though I rarely have any of those.

This story will feature an original character of my own from Dragon Ball Z, though he rarely stays there. His name is Andross and he is a bio-android designed with the design of Cell in mind by another scientist. The scientist wanted to use him to concure and destroy everything, and even managed to use the dragon balls to enhance his powers, letting him choice himself what his wishes would be. Andross chose dimentional/time travel as his first wish, then killed the scientist. He then became one of the 'good' guys. Later he traveled back in time to adopt a saiyan son since he is incapable of reproducing, and brought him forward in time to live with him. Andross is also at the time the most powerful of the Z gang, with all their abilities in himself, though this was done willingly by each for various services and such.

Vixen makes a short appearence in the first several paragraphs of the story. She is a friend of mine's character and is Vegeta's twin sister. She and several other saiyans were banished from planet Vegeta because of their different hair colors shortly before the planet was destroyed. They passed through a planet made completely of very cold gasses, and were trapped inside of it. They stayed that way, unaging for many years until the sun blew up and they were released by the explosion. They arrived on Earth and were still in their unaged bodies, where they were discovered by the Z gang. Vegeta has taken it upon himself to train Vixen and managed to get her to go super saiyan by the age of nine. Andross is Vixen's body guard, since every royal saiyan needs a body guard and he is the most powerful fighter. He has grown somewhat attached to her.

That is all you need to really know about the original characters featured in this story. Enjoy!

-story begin-

Andross leaned against the wall of the Gravity Room at Capsule Corp. He casually watched the battle between Vixen and Vegeta. It was amazing for most to watch a battle like this. The two fought at three hundred times gravity with out going super saiyan. The two siblings clashed again and again. Vegeta still had the large advantage of pure power and years of experience, but he still had to watch out for Vixen. She was still a Saiyan, a female, and a princess, all of which made her very dangerous in a fight. The fight was incredible, for most anyways.

Andross had personally witnessed over fifty of these battles. It happened almost every day of the week for him. The only reason he came anymore was to make sure no one got too badly hurt, and if they did, to heal them before they ended up dead or permanetely crippled. Otherwise, he had no purpose there at all. While they trained in such heavy gravity, he wore his personal gravity emmitter that added another three hundred gravity to his body, giving him at least some training.

Simply put, Andross was bored. He was extremely bored. He was bored out of his skull! He needed something to do. He wanted to do something, but with the way these two were going at it, he couldn't afford to leave them alone for too long. The only other person on Earth that could heal anywhere near as well as he could was Dende, and Andross wasn't foolish enough to think that he could convince Earth's guardian to just come down and watch over two sparring saiyans just so he could go out and have some fun.

Andross is a super intelligent bio-android that was made for the destruction of the Earth and all esle in the universe. He was made to fight, kill, and destroy with out hesitation or distraction. He was made so that he would continiously get stronger the more he fought, and with the ability to survive the most severe of conditions and regrow vitrually any limb that could possibly be lost in a matter of seconds. Despite all this, Andross had the mentallity of a small child at most times, and had a constant need to be entertained by something!

This was one of those times. He had to do something! If he interfered with the sparring match, Vixen would be very upset with him. She had specifically asked him not to interfere with this match at all except to heal them afterwards. He didn't want to upset Vixen for several reasons. One was that he actually cared for her, as if she were a daughter or little sister. Another reason, was that he was sometimes frightened of her. Andross just couldn't understand how women could be so scary!

Andross had to do something! He just couldn't stand the boredom! He could die of boredom you know! Suddenly, like a light bulb in his head, he snapped up with a bright idea. He could go dimensional hopping! When dimensional hopping, he would always return to the exact moment that he left! It couldn't be helped, it was just a side effect of dimensional travel, or at least it was with the method that he used. He could step out of this dimension, go off and do something fun, and return to the moment he left and they would never miss him! It was the perfect plan!

With a grin, Andross rose his arm. He swiped downwards, and his sharp nails caused the wind to ripple and scream as they seemingly split the air in half. A rip in time, space, and the very dimensional fabric formed where his arm had swipped. Acting quickly he stepped through and closed it behind him before Vegeta and Vixen noticed it.

-scene change-

Shinji stood and listened to the phone as it told him that it, and all phone lines, were out of order due to some kind of big emergency. What could be big enough to make the entire city shut down their phone lines, trains, and cause everyone to evacuate the streets and leave the entire city empty and desserted like this, he didn't know, but it made him nervous. He looked around and found the eery comparison of this city to a ghost town quiet striking.

He looked down at the picture he had in his bag. It was a picture of an attractive woman telling him she would pick him up at the train station, and to check out her clevage. The mere thought of it caused his cheeks to burn red. So much so that he looked up and away from the picture.

Standing there in the street was a girl, his age, and wearing a school uniform. She had the strangest blue hair and red eyes. Those eyes looked straight at him as if looking into his soul, before suddenly a look of confusion filled those red eyes. It was strange, as if confusion was a completely alien emotion for that girl as she looked at him. It was then that Shinji realized that she wasn't looking confused at him, but at something beside him.

Shinji looked over at a six foot three inch tall figure standing beside him. The man had black spikey hair, metallic grey eyes, large lean muscles, and wore a t-shirt and blue jeans. He held a strange grin on his face as he looked down at Shinji, and occasionally looked over at the girl in the street. Shinji read the man's strange eyes and could see the strange surprise in them as he looked back at the girl.

Shinji followed the man's gaze to see that the girl was gone, with out a trace. It was almost as if she were never there. Maybe that's why the man was looking at Shinji so strangely. Maybe the girl hadn't been there? Maybe Shinji had just been seeing things, and the man thought that he was crazy?

"You shouldn't worry so much Shinji." the man said in an amused voice.

Shinji looked at the man like he was crazy. Could the man actually hear his thoughts, or had he just gotten lucky by reading his expression?

"Actually both kid." the man said with a grin, before extending his hand to Shinji. "Hi! My name's Andross. What's yours, oh wait, I already know that... Well, it's nice to meet you anyways." he said with a silly grin.

Shinji took the man's hand with hesitation and nervousness. If this man really could read his mind, then nothing Shinji knew would be safe from him. Nothing in his life would be unknown to this man, and nothing would be sacred anymore. He could literally have no privacy.

"Don't worry kid. I can mostly only read your surface thoughts without your permission. Though, I can skim over and examine a very basic version of your life and memories, only getting glimpses and some emotions from it all. From what I can tell, you haven't had the happiest life." Andross said while still shaking his hand.

"That's an understatement!" Shinji burst out, figuring that all modesty and reservations of his emotions were unneeded and slightly foolish since this man could read his thoughts and emotions anyways.

"I know that. But, it's all going to change now. Now you're going to have the power to create change. It's up to you to decide how you use it." Andross said.

"Why would I suddenly have such power?" Shinji asked, disbeif in his voice.

"Because, I'm going to give it to you Shinji. If you will thank me, or curse me for it, I don't know. I guess we'll just have to find that out later." Andross said in a serious tone of voice.

Suddenly Shinji felt pain in his arm. He looked down with wide eyes to see a long needle like... thing coming out of Andross's arm and stabbing into Shinji's arm. Suddenly, the feeling of pain left him and a feeling of absolute power filled Shinji. At the same time Andross's other hand clamped down on Shinji's head. Knowledge rushed into Shinji's mind like a waterfall crushing him. It was so much knowledge, and even experience, that it hurt to take it all in.

The feelings of pain from the knowledge and experience clashed with the feelings of power surging into him. He couldn't comprehend it all just yet, but something was telling him that he would survive all of this. Something told him that it would all be better soon. Something told him that it was all worth it.

Suddenly it was all over. Andross was gone, and Shinji had no idea where he had gone. It hardly mattered to Shinji at the moment because his head still hurt. The pain fadded though as his mind finished converting the information into a form he could understand. A gasp escaped Shinji as knowledge of how to properly control this new and extreme power he had just gained filled him.

Shinji decided to test it out, and held out his hand with his palm open. He concentrated, and he easily formed a ki ball a few inches above his palm. He pointed it outwards, and prepared to fire it into the air. Suddenly the ground shook beneath him, though he barely noticed it now. A large missle flew over his head and bent around a corner to miss a building it had been flying towards. It was enough of a distraction that Shinji let the ki ball be absorbed back into his body.

Several VTOL's came flying backwards from behind a mountain and continued to fire at something behind the mountain. A large creature came walking out from behind the mountain. It was extremely ugly, with a skull head that was shaped like a bird and a huge green and black body with some bones showing here and there, it looked like it a had walked out of a nightmare.

The huge missle, several missles from the VTOLs, and every single bullet fired by them slammed against a nearly invisible barrier that only showed itself when it was struck. The creature looked at the VTOLs strangly, cocking its head to the side before raising its arm. A large spike of red energy shot out of the creature's hand and slammed into the nearest VTOL. The VTOL exloded in a brillaint flash and came crashing down near Shinji.

Shinji was mad now. It was true that in his mind, the entire world had practically turned against him and ignored him, but he still didn't want anyone to die. These soldiers had no chance of defeating this creature, and he could plainly see that now. He could not allow this thing to stomp around and kill people at its will. He had the power now, and it was up to him to use it. Besides, it would be a good chance for him to test his true power out.

Shinji still wasn't sure of it all, but he was determined to do as much as he could. For that he would have to power up. He bent his knees slightly and braced himself. With a shout, power began to erupt from his body and tear at the street around him. The pavement was torn apart under his power, and the roof of the train station just behind him was ripped right off and thrown aside. Shinji let out another shout as the immense power continued to flow through his body.

Misato took the turn as fast as she could and sped at the train station. She slammed on her brakes as she saw a boy, she could only assume it was Shinji, standing there with an aura of what looked to Misato like steam. The ground around him was being ripped to pieces and those pieces were floating into the air around him. Anger filled his face as he looked up at the angel. Suddenly he took into the air just as the angel jumped and landed on the shot down VTOL near him.

Misato was forced to drive away as she saw Shinji flying circles around the angel repeadly. She would have to watch from a safe distance, up on the hill overlooking Tokyo 3 and hope that Shinji could either hold his own, or would flee somewhere that she could recover him from. She sped away still in shock from seeing Shinji display such power.

Shinji flew around and around the angel, trying to figure out how to best attack it. The angel watched him with what Shinji could only guess was interest. It continued to cock its head as Shinji flew around it. Suddenly, it swatted at Shinji. Shinji was surprised at the speed that the creature moved for its immense size. He was slapped in the side of his entire body by the giant limb.

Shinji shot off and tore through several buildings before he was able to slow and stop himself. Now he was really angry, but had no time to try and use his anger against the creature, for he saw that it was looking at him, and its eyes were glowing. It shot out a massive blast at Shinji that he blocked against with his arms and powered up his aura. The blast passed over him and hit several buildings, forming a large cross shaped blast.

-NERV command-

Gendo and Fuyutuski sat and stood respectivly on the large rising tower that they commanded the bridge from. Three Generals sat at a desk below them trying to command the various armed forces against the threatening angel. They had done everything they could short of dropping a N2 mine on it in the middle of the nearby city to Tokyo 3. It was a bit close to the city, but they could afford to try it if it got any closer.

At the moment they weren't really thinking of the N2 mine that they could drop from orbit on the target. Instead they were watching a small boy fly around the angel, keeping its attention on him. The bridge bunnies were the only ones able to continue working as they watched this new development. They worked frantically to try and get an i.d. on the kid.

Gendo had his eyebrow raised somewhat, not wanting to show any true surprise, while Fuyutski had his mouth hanging in the air. The Generals were panicing and having small heart attacks as they watched the boy get swatted aside.

Suddenly as the boy slowed and stopped himself in the air, the bridge crew was able to get a good still shot of him and bring his picture up on the side of the screen. As it came up, so did the identity of the boy, and all available necessary information they had on him. The entire bridge gasped loudly as they information came up and i.d.ed him as Shinji Ikari, son of Commander Ikari.

Gendo dropped his jaw slightly. This was a very unexpected turn of events. Fuyutski was gasping and grabbing his chest tightly. He was getting too old for these kind of surprises. The Generals were spitting and choking on their own saliva. They were now in a uproar.

"Gendo! When did you plan to tell us of your son's... abilities.!" one shouted out.

"I assure you gentlemen, I had no proir knowledge of his... unique abilities." Gendo reassured them after he had regained his composure.

Everyone gasped again when the angel shot Shinji with a cross beam. One of the Generals actually fell out of his chair and started to have a heart attack. It had been too much for him, all these things happening all at once. Medical teams wheeled him out of the room. Everyone else didn't seem to notice this too much as their eyes were focusing on the smoke coming from the spot that Shinji had once occupied.

Suddenly one of the Generals picked up a ringing phone, spoke softly into it, and hung it up solemly. He stood and informed the bridge that a N2 mine was to be used. Everyone only blankly stared and nodded. The bridge crew went to work to make the preperations.

-back to the battle-

Shinji couldn't hardly believe it. He had survived. The smoke cleared from around him, and he was still hovering in the air. He had been pushed back over a thousand yards, but he was still there, and in one piece. Infact, he barely felt the power flowing over him from the creature's cross blast.

The angel stared at him in even more curiousity now. The small thing had survived its attack? It's most powerful attack short of self destruction? How could a simple lilim survive it? Could it be that these small creatures were capable of passing their tests after all? It would have to see, and it would start the tests with this one here.

The angel charged at Shinji at a speed that was impossible for most things to go. Shinji watched it come and quickly thought up what the best course of action would be now. More knowledge of how to control his power came to mind, and he smirked his first true smirk of his life. He prepared himself, and when the creature was only two hundred yards away he acted.

Shinji moved away so fast that he left an after image. The angel charged right through it and hurtled to the ground. It rose with another curious look on its 'face' as it could find no sign of a squished lilim beneath it. Suddenly, the feeling of power behind it caught its attention and it turned to see Shinji floating several hundred yards away. He floated just out of arms reach of the angel, and he wore a smirk.

Shinji held out his hands, palms flat and facing the angel. He shouted out in power as his aura covered him. A large and brillaint light began to form in front of his palms, glowing a blue so bright that it hurt for most to look at. It was the size of a soft ball, and it started to grow. It continued to get larger, going from the size of a basket ball to the size of beach ball to the size of a VW Beetle. He was so focused on gathering his power into the blast that neither he nor the angel noticed the high pitched whisteling sound coming towards them.

Misato watched from a great distance away with her binoculars as Shinji and the angel fought. Well, so far it had been the angel attacking Shinji. She had gotten conformation from NERV command that it was in fact Shinji Ikari fighting with the angel. She watched in a strange kind of shock and awe as Shinji continued to survive the angel's attacks on him. Now it looked like he was preparing an attack of his own. Suddenly she noticed something falling towards the both of them.

"No!" she shouted out before a brillaint flash and a horribly loud bang went off as the N2 mine detonated on top of the angel, and Shinji.

Misato's car was thrown for multiple loops before it finally stopped. When it finally stopped she climbed out of the car window and stood up as tall as she could, strecthing her now very sore muscles as she did. She looked out at the barren land that had been a city before. She was only thankful that the people of that city had been evacuated before hand. However, that was only in the back of her mind right now. She was worried about Shinji, and if he survived. She couldn't see how he could of, but she could still see the massive hulk of flesh that was the angel. If Shinji could survive the angel, then maybe he could survive the N2 mine.

-bomb site-

A large pile of dust and debris sat at the edge of where the explosion had detonated. It had been fortunate enough to have survived at all. Most things that had survived had been thrown miles away. The dust and debris were the only things that had been spared from the fate that befell all else that had been caught up in the explosion. Suddenly, the debris began to shift and move. Shinji came climbing out of the pile and stretched his muscles. He had no idea what had hit him, but it had hit him really hard!

"What the heck happened?" he moaned as he rubbed his neck.

Shinji shook off the dust that still clung to his body. It wouldn't stay off of him, and it was frustrating him in his tired state. He was getting more and more frustrated and decided to get rid of the dust once and for all. He let out a quick shout and his aura erupted around him, creating a small crater beneath his feet. Everything that had been too close to him, including the dust, blew far away from him, leaving him feeling much more clean.

Shinji looked up afterwards as he breathed in the dusty hot air that was around him from the previous explosion. What he saw deffinately surprised him. The hulking creature had survived that blast. It looked like it had been hurt quite badly, but it had survived. It suddenly flashed off a cross beam into the sky that Shinji could only assume was aimed at some kind of survalence satalite.

Shinji needed time to rest, he would have to wait and come back to attack it. He powered up and flew off, headed for a nearby mountain from where he could watch the creature to make sure it didn't start moving around too soon. He left a blue streak of power lingering in the sky after him, and the creature did not attack, for it knew it would have to heal to properly battle him.

-NERV command-

Everyone was shouting in joy as the N2 mine succesfully struck the angel. Some were worried about what they had just done, becuase they had all clearly seen Shinji still fighting with the angel when it had happened. Some others were even more disturbed by the fact that Gendo was the least effected by what had just happened. They had just blown his son into tiny atoms, and he didn't seem to care in the slightest.

In truth, Gendo did hardly care. After all, Shinji had been disposable from the beginning. It mattered little that he was gone now. He would just have to send Rei out in unit 01 to finish the angel before it was fully healed. He immedaitely began to make preperations for going through with such a plan when one of the techs began to shout.

"We have survalence online now!" one shouted.

"Target is confirmed. It survived." one of the techs said in disbelief

"What kind of monster are we dealing with...?" one of the generals asked in shock.

A phone rang and the general picked it up. He mumbled into it for a while before nodding and hanging up. He turned around and faced Gendo, even though their height was not on the same level.

"We have just been ordered to turn over control to you Gendo. Do not let us down." the general said.

"Gentlemen, this is what NERV was made for." Gendo said with a smirk.

"Second energy source detected!" a tech shouted.

"Zooming in now!"

An image appeared on the screen, and it very well nearly gave several people another heart attack. There was Shinji, an aura of power around him. It was not as bright or as large as it had been before, but he was still there and nearly unharmed. He looked over at the angel in near disbelief, before the feed ended with the attack of the angel.

"Damn! The angel detected our survalence satalite, and destroyed it!" a tech shouted.

"Well..." Fuyutuski began as he leaned in closer to Gendo, so only the commander would hear him. "It seems that your son is stronger then he looks." he said with a grin, now that he himself had gotten over his shock at seeing Shinji flying around, battling angels, and surviving N2 mines at point blank range.

"It seems so..." Gendo said, his voice dead of emotions. His mind was running over the possible ways he could use his son now. Would he still be a capable pilot for unit 01?

"He's retreating from the site. We're tracking him by the power he's putting out, and he's headed for the mountains. Captian Misato Katsuragi has reported as being at the site he's headed towards." a tech said calmly, feeling a bit strange for tracking a person by the sheer power they were putting out.

"Have the Captian make contact with the subject and convince him to come in." Gendo ordered, feeling no need to refer to his son as anything more then a subject.

"Yes sir." a tech responded.

-Misato's car-

Misato pushed against her car as hard as she could. She just couldn't get it to over turn back onto its wheels. She continued to push, not wanting to have to walk into the city and steal a car or anything like that. She kept pushing and straining and grunting, yet the car would not budge for her.

"Oh come on baby, don't do this to me. You're still new for goodness sakes!" she exclaimed.

"Need some help?" came a kind voice.

"Yeah, if you wouldn't mind..." Misato said as she didn't really look at the voice's owner, she just kept pushing.

Suddenly the car tipped over as if it had been feather light. She breathed out a sigh of relief as she rested against it. She wiped the bit of sweat off of her forehead before opening her eyes to look at her helper. The sight of a smiling fourteen year old boy greeted her. She smiled too, before her eyes bugged out at realizing just which fourteen year old boy this was.

"You're Shinji Ikari!" she exclaimed.

"Yeah?" Shinji asked.

"You're the boy that was fighting the angel!" she exclaimed again.

"Oh, is that what you call that thing? I just thought it was a butt ugly monster." Shinji said with a laugh.

"How in the world did you survive! I thought for sure you were killed! You actually had me really worried!" she exclaimed again as she began to poke him all over to make sure that he was alright aside from the small cuts, little bruises, and the torn and burned clothing.

"I guess I got lucky that I was strong enough to survive, but I am really wiped after that. What in the world happened to me anyways?" Shinji asked as he rubbed his head.

"An N2 mine was dropped on your head!" Misato shouted as she was beginning to freak out.

"Oh, well, whatever. Anyways, after I rest up for a bit, I'll just go over and destroy that big creature. An angel was it that you called it? Well, what ever it's called, it's going to be dead soon. Guess I'll just try a ki wave rather then a blast, since I already know it can withstand a lot of damage over a large area. Maybe it can't withstand all that preasure on one spot." Shinji mused to himself.

Misato looked at him like he had gone nuts. "Hey Shinji, you don't mind me calling you Shinji do you?" Misato asked.

"No, go right ahead." Shinji said with a smile.

"Well, do you really think that you can just go kill an angel? And, what is this ki stuff you're talking about?" Misato asked, sounding really confused.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, sure, ofcourse I can beat it. I can tell I'm stronger then it because I can feel it's ki and compare it to my own. I can't really describe what ki is, but I think it's like your own personal energy. Anyways, I'm still really new to this kind of stuff. I only got all this power a few minutes ago." Shinji said, still sounding happy.

"Are you sure you're alright Shinji? I mean, you just went through an N2 explosion at ground zero, and lived. You might have brain damage or something..." Misato suggested, hoping he wasn't really brain damaged.

"Oh don't worry, I don't think that I'm daim bramaged too badly." Shinji said, purposefully missaying what he really meant.

Misato gave him a curious stare, before her cell phone went off. She shook her head and answered it.

"Hello, this is Captian Katsuragi."

Shinji smiled as his original thoughts that this was the woman that would pick him up were confimed. Now that he thought about it, he was kind of glad that she had been late to pick him up, otherwise he may never have gotten this kind of power, and maybe nothing could have stood up to that... angel thing.

"I understand. Very well, we shall be there shortly. Please have a car transport ready for us." Misato spoke into her phone before hanging it up.

"So, we going somewhere?" Shinji asked. "Because I think that I should stay here and watch that angel thing until I'm healed enough, then go over and kill it." Shinji said, still smiling.

"Are you sure you're alright? Most people aren't this happy after nearly being killed by their own father." Misato said worriedly.

"My father!" Shinji shouted in shock. "He ordered that N2 thing dropped on me!" he exclaimed in shock, his features taking on a deadly anger to them.

"Well, I can only assume so. He is the commander after all. If he didn't think that you could handle the angel, then he more then likely ordered the mine dropped on the both of you." Misato said.

"He should have had more confidence in my abilities. I was almost ready to blast it when the bomb hit me." Shinji said, his face contorting in anger.

"Well, you can't really blame him for not thinking that you could do it. No one esle on the planet is able to stand up to an angel without NERV's assistance. Come on, we've been ordered to report in to the commander himself." Misato said.

"How would this NERV thing you're talking about be able to assist someone in fighting against that huge thing? All the armed forces I saw were being destroyed without being able to make a dent in it." Shinji said, anger still in his voice. "And are we going to see my father?"

"We'll have to explain to you what NERV does exactly when we get there. And, yeah, we're going to go see you're father. He's the commander, and he's requested we meet him in unit 01's cage." Misato said as she got into her car.

"Well, I guess I'll have to wait to find out what a unit 01 is until we get there. Anyways, you think this car will still work?" Shinji asked as he eyed the car. "I could just fly us there." he stated.

"You could?" Misato asked.

"Sure!" Shinji said as he did the unexpected.

Misato nearly screamed as she felt the car lift into the car, and could tell that Shinji was underneath it, keeping it close to the ground and not going too fast.

"Tell me where to turn!" he shouted out.

"Shinji!" Misato shouted out in fear.

-NERV entrance-

Misato and Shinji arrived at the car transport safely and very soon. Shinji gently places the car down and gets in himself. He finds Misato looking like she nearly had a heart attack.

"Sorry if I scared you Ms. Misato." Shinji said.

"Don't call me Ms. and don't do that again! I nearly screamed my lungs out on the way over here. You would've liked that very much wouldn't you have Shinji. To be able to tell all the other guys that you made an older woman as beautiful as me scream her lungs out for you. Wouldn't you!" Misato accused, really meaning to tease Shinji.

"Huh?" Shinji said in a confused voice, before what Misato meant hit him fully. "Nnn... Nnn... Nnnooo! I mean, yes, er, no, I mean. I don't know..." Shinji said in a small voice. "Do you want to scream for me?" Shinji asked a little louder, too confused to know what to really do.

"Nevermind Shinji. Did your dad send you any kind of i.d.?" Misato asked.

"Oh yeah. Uh, I think... I might have left it at the train station..." Shinji said embarrased.

"Don't worry. We can have someone go and get it later, along with the rest of your stuff..." Misato said before something popped into her mind. She eyeballed Shinji for a moment before speaking again. "Hey Shinji? Have any idea where you're going to live?" Misato asked.

"Live? I thought that this was going to be a temporary visit with my father. Why did he call me here anyways?" Shinji mused aloud.

"Er, well... I can't really discuss it with you until we get to where we're going. But, that thing out there, there's going to be more things like it. If you really want to help people and destroy it, you can't just leave afterwards. Besides, I'm pretty sure the commander is going to assign you permenant residence in Tokyo 3. Do you think you'll want to live with him?" Misato asked.

"After he just tried to blow me up? I don't think so. After that little stunt, he'll be lucky if I don't kill him when I see him again." Shinji said, anger filtering into his voice.

"You can't kill him Shinji. You would be arrested for that. Even if you didn't let yourself be arrested, you would have to be an outcast everywhere you went because police would always be trying to arrest you. But, what do you think about living with me instead of on your own?" Misato asked, hope in her voice. She really didn't want this kid to go nuts and attack the commander, and everyone else while he was at it. From the sounds of it, he could very well be more dangerous then the angel out there.

"Alright, I'll try not to kill him. I can't make any promises, but I'll try. And, sure, living with you sounds like it would be fun. You wouldn't mind would you?" Shinji asked, sounding like a little kid.

"No problem. I need another room mate anyways." Misato said smiling widely. "We'll have to have a party after this is over!" she said shoving her fist into the air.

"Yeah!" Shinji shouted, shoving his fist into the air too. He overshot and slammed his fist right through the roof of the car. He smilled sheepishly as he pulled his fist out and grinned a little.

"Sorry, I didn't really mean to do that. From what I can tell, I'll have complete control over my power by tommorrow morning. Until then, I have to be careful of not giving any hugs or hand shakes." Shinji said with a smile. "I'll pay for that though. I have enough in the bank at the moment. Not much more, but enough." Shinji said, hoping it would be alright.

"Don't worry about it. I can blame it on the N2 mine." Misato said with a laugh.

Shinji's attention was suddenly drawn away though as they entered a massive underground cavern that had artificial lights and other things that made it look like it was day. Large buildings hung from the cieling, as if the world had turned topsy turvy, while other structures stood on the ground at the bottom of the circular shaped cavern, as if they were just as assured which direction was up and down as the buildings on the cieling.

"Wow! A real Geo-Front! This is completely awesome! Can I get out and fly? I promise that I'll follow you and meet back with you by the time that you get to the bottom!" Shinji pleaded.

"Well..." Misato considered. "I... guess... so... why not?" she said, not too sure of her answer.

"Thanks!" Shinji exclaimed before rolling down his window so fast that Misato could've sworn that it had smoked from the speed, and then he leaped out the window as if pulled out by a cable.

Shinji tore through the air and up to the cieling of the Geo-Front, and floated next to the massive upside down buildings. He found that they weren't upside down, but it was just like they were. The bottom was truely their 'top', while their 'bottom' was really their top. They were simply suspended from the air.

"Wow! This is really cool!" Shinji exclaimed.

Suddenly Shinji felt Misato's ki reach a stop, and could tell she had arrived at the spot he should meet her at. Quickly he took off for the ground. In a matter of seconds he was floating above Misato's head. She looked around for him, before he casually dropped to the ground behind her.

"Hey Misato!" he said loudly.

Misato let out a yelp of surprise before whirling around to glare at Shinji.

"You shouldn't sneak up on people! Now follow me." she said walking into onto a walk way that moved beneath their feet.

They started to head towards a big pyramid shaped building. It was massive, and Shinji could only guess that it was this 'NERV' that Misato talked about. He couldn't help but wonder what it was that NERV did exactly, and why he had been called here by his father. He wasn't truelly sorry for coming here now, because of all the power he had gained, and because he just seemed happy for some reason, but he did wonder all the same.

-inside NERV-

"Misato? Can't these things go any faster!" Shinji whined as he stood on the motorized pavement beneath him.

"No Shinji, they can't. Perhaps now is a good time that you tell me how you can move so fast?" she inquired.

"Well, my memory is a little fuzzy still from the 'N2' blast. I was waiting at the train station for you, when I saw a girl across the street. She was looking at something beside me, and so I looked beside me. There was a man standing there, and then I looked back, and the girl was gone without a trace. I still don't know if I imagined it or not, but I didn't bring it up for fear that I was crazy or something.

"Anyways. The man started to tell me that he could read my thoughts..." Shinji was suddenly interupted.

"And you believed him?" Misato asked skeptically.

"No, not at first. Not until he started to tell me what I was thinking at the time, something no one could have guessed. Then he started to tell me about my basic past, and I started to believe. Anyways, he told me that I would suddenly have the power to cause change in the world. I asked him why I would suddenly get so much power, and he told me that he would give it to me.

"The next thing I knew, a needle like thing was coming out, I mean out of his arm and stabbing me in mine. He grabbed my face, and suddenly knowledge began to fill my mind. I could feel power coming out of his arm and into my body, and it hurt for a while. Then it started to feel good, like I could do anything. When it was over, I opened my eyes and he was gone. The only thing left behind was a scar on my arm, and the power and knowledge he had given me. He had only given me the knowledge of how to use my power, not much more or less then that." Shinji finished.

"Wow... I think we'll have to have your head checked. You might have gotten brain damage for real with that kind of wierd story." Misato said as she felt Shinji's forehead. "You don't feel warm..." she said as if she were a mother checking their son to see if he really had the flu, or if he was just trying to get out of school for a few days.

"What? You don't believe me?" Shinji asked, almost sounding insulted.

"Are your really surprised with that kind of story? I've read childrens comics with better origin stories then that." Misato said with a smile, though it was obvious that she didn't believe what he told her was real at all. "I don't believe that that's how you came to be so powerful, but I do believe that that's what you believe happened. Don't worry Shinji, we'll figure out what really happened to you."

"Captain Katsuragi!" came a woman's serious voice from a freshly opened elevator nearby. "What are you doing wondering around base at a time like this! The angel is almost ready to move again, and you're just talking with some kid!" she exclaimed, obviously upset.

"Ritsuko, this isn't just some kid! This is Shinji, the kid that was flying around fighting with the angel when the N2 mine was dropped on him and it at the same time!" Misato shouted back, stepping fully out of the way so Ritsuko could clearly see Shinji. "Don't even try telling me that headquarters didn't see it happening!" she said, preventing Ritsuko from even trying to deny the fact.

"A bridge tech reported some crazy story like that to me earlier, but you can't honestly expect me to believe that this... this... kid can fly around, survive an angel's attacks, and survive an N2 mine going off within a few hundred feet of him!" Ritsuko exclaimed pointing at Shinji.

It came to Ritsuko's attention though, that Shinji was gone. She spun around and around trying to see where he had gone to, but could not find him. She looked back at Misato, thinking that she had something to do with the disappearing act. Misato was only looking at something above Ritsuko's head.

"Where did he go!" she exclaimed, feeling very frustrated with the situation.

"Try looking up..." Misato said calmly.

"You don't really expect me to fall..." Ritsuko stopped mid-sentence when she felt two feet rest on her shoulders.

She looked up to find Shinji standing on her shoulders and smiling down at her. It was strange, for his feet were on her shoulders, yet she felt no real weight from his body. He suddenly floated off and hovered almost a foot off the ground in front of her. With this act he was looking at her eye to eye.

"You didn't have anything to do with dropping that N2 mine on my head just as I was going to attack the angel, did you? Or was it all my father's doing?" Shinji asked, a kind smile on his face.

"I... I... how is this possible?" Ritsuko breathed out in shock. "I don't know... who ordered the N2 mine, but it was most likely... the generals that were commanding the armed forces before the N2 mine failed to destroy the angel... How are you...?" Ritsuko began to ask as she waved her hands over and behind Shinji, circling him to check for wires of any sorts. "This is impossible..." she breathed in shock.

"There is a giant monster you keep calling an angel attacking the city just over this humongous Geo-Front, the impossible has been made real many times today in my opinion. Get over it." Shinji said simply with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Ritsuko, aren't we suppose to be on a schedule?" Misato asked in a tiny voice, wary of her friend when she was examining something that was simply... unreal.

"Oh, right. Please step into the elevator." Ritsuko said as she got back into the elevator.

Misato stepped in, and Shinji floated in. He continued to float there as the elevator rose up. The entire thing was still making Ritsuko a bit... distracted. Misato could see that Shinji was getting bored so she handed him a "Welcome to NERV" manuel. He started to read it, before something occured to him. He suddenly began to turn the pages at a speed almost impossible for the two women to follow. It was faster then Ritsuko could type!

"Good read, though it told me little." Shinji said as he finished the booklet two seconds later.

-Unit 01 cage-

"Hey! Who turned out the lights!" Shinji exclaims. Suddenly a tickling of his senses alerts him to the presence of something else in the room, something big... "What in the..." he starts

The lights flash on to reveal the face of a purple giant in front of Shinji, staring him down, with its horn in the air just above Shinji. Shinji's eyes bug, but he doesn't scream at all. Instead he hovers up and infront of one of the eyes of the beast. He begins to wave into the eye, as if trying to see if the eye will follow his hand at all. When it didn't respond to his test, his face grew the look of slight confussion.

"Uh... what did you do? Capture this thing and put it to sleep?" Shinji asked as he turned around in mid-air to face Dr. Ritsuko.

"No Shinji. This is Evangelion Unit 01! The Evangelions are humanity's last hope in the fight against the angels!" Ritsuko exclaimed, obviously excited from what Shinji could tell.

"It doesn't feel all that strong... It feels barely alive. How in the world did you convince it to work for you?" Shinji asked.

Ritsuko gave Misato a strange look, wondering if Shinji was at all sane.

"He can feel someone's... energy..." Misato said shrugging her shoulders and giving a confused look of her own.

"Energy... Yeah, well, this is a kind of robot Shinji. It may feel... alive to you, but we have it completely under control. It doesn't have an intelligence of its own. We have to have someone pilot it to control it, and fight against the angels." Ritsuko tried to explain.

"Oh, is that what my father's been working on for... let's see now... there was that time he didn't come for... and then that time..." Shinji began as he was ticking off fingers. "And then when he didn't show for the... and when he didn't come for... that comes up to... my entire life!" Shinji exclaimed.

"Correct!" came a deep voice from above.

Every eye turned to look at the Commander, Gendo Ikari himself, standing on a platfrom just above the head of Unit 01. He stared down through his dark shades. The light in the room reflecting on his lenses as he looked down at his son, who was still floating by the eye of the Evangelion. He showed no emotion or reaction to Shinji's flying act.

"So dad," Shinji started, anger quickly filling his voice. "why did you have me come here?"

"You will pilot the Evangelion." Gendo said, his voice commanding, his tone and such were as if he were stating a simple fact.

"Mhmm... Say dad. Did you know that I was going to get hit when you dropped that N2 mine on me and the angel?" Shinji asked, barely able to hold back the anger from his voice.

Gendo bent his head down some to glare into Shinji's eyes better through his sunglasses. His body stiffened, only slightly and only noticable to those that had spent years observing his behavoir. "Yes. I allowed it because it was the best chance to defeat the angel at the time." he said coldly.

"Ah, right... Well, it was the wrong choice. Next time you do something like that when it is in fact, not the last option avialble to you, you will regret it. Now then, I'm off to kill a monster. I'll see you later." Shinji said as he had floated to eye level with his father.

"Then you will pilot the Evangelion!" Ritsuko asked in near shock.

"No." Shinji said to the shock of everyone but Misato, who had already been expecting it, and Gendo, who didn't show any emotion either way. "I will kill it myself. There is no need to use this... what ever you called it. See ya!" Shinji shouted as he flew to a far part of the room.

He stopped directly underneath the launch plarform and hovered for a second. Suddenly he flew upwards and began to burst through the armored steel between him and the surface of Tokyo 3. As he flew off, Gendo looked down to Ritsuko. He slid his glasses further up his nose.

"Designate Shinji as the pilot of Unit 01. He will be convinced to pilot Unit 01." he said simply, as if it were a law of the universe.

"How do you plan to do that sir?" Misato asked, unable to contain her curiousity.

"That will be your responsability Captain." he answered.

Misato stumbled a bit before regaining her composure. She straightened herself out for a moment before looking back up at the commander.

"How do you expect me to do that!" she exclaimed.

"Through any means necessary." he answered before walking away and stepping into an elevator.

Misato and Ritsuko raced into the command bridge just in time to see a screen of the launch platform on the surface burst open. Shinji hovered there, staring down the angel who stood at the city's edge. Suddenly Shinji took off towards the angel at full speed.

"I don't know if you can understand me creature!" Shinji shouted as he began to circle the angel at high speeds. "But you will die tonight!" he shouted as he flew straight at its head.

Shinji rammed straight into a rippeling field that only became visible as he contacted it. He curiously held his hand out and touched its surface for a moment, watching in wonder as colors rippled across its surface like waves in a pond. His almost childish fascination was interupted when the angel slapped him hard with its right arm. As its palm hit him, its spike shot out and hit Shinji aswell. Shinji flew backwards until he slammed right through several small buildings.

Shinji breathed in fear as he sensed the ki of a little girl about to be crushed by debri that he caused with his body. He flashed down so fast that he left an after image behind. He flashed down and scooped the girl up and flew three miles away so fast that no human eye could keep track of him at all.

That's why the angel and everyone else thought he was still in the same spot as before when the angel shot a cross blast that detonated right beneath the after image, and the image faded away in the brightness of the blast. When it was over, Shinji was no where to be seen.

The angel began to march into the city as if the matter were finished when suddenly something slammed into its A.T. field so hard that it bent inwards. It looked down in what could only be described as shock to see Shinji pressing into its field with his fist. Before it could react, Shinji broke through and slammed his fist into the core of the angel.

The core cracked heavily under Shinji's fist. Shinji grinned and prepared a blast in the palm of his hand. At first he was going to fire it into the core of the angel, but brought his fist up at the last possible second and fired it at the angel's face. The blast slammed into its face, and its entire upper body disapeared in the light of the attack.

When it was over, the torso of the angel fell to the ground, and the arms of the angel fell beside it. There was nothing holding them to the torso anymore since the shoulders had been vaporized. The entire upper torso above the core of the angel was gone. It had been completely incinerated. Shinji grinned before firing a small blast through the core, causing it to go dim. It did not explode or shatter, it just went dim with no more life in it.

"Well, that takes care of things, doesn't it. I'm done here, time to go back and check to see if Misato has my living arangements ready. Oh, yeah! That's right, she said I'd be living with her! Well, maybe this won't be sooo bad." Shinji said with a smile as he started to float back to the broken lift to NERV. Suddenly he stopped above it. "I wonder if they're going to make me pay for that?" he asked with a chuckle.

As Shinji disapeared into it, he suddenly screamed out, letting it echoe down into NERV and travel into the city, "Oh no! I probably have school in the morning!"

To Be Continued...!
