Chapter 1
Act 1- a new meaning for depression
--------------------------------------
[Misato's Apartment]
"Ooooooooooohhh Yeeeaaaaaaaah!"
A whoop from the nearby apartment signaled the Neighboring residents that haven't woken up yet are direly late for work. The neighbors grudgingly thanked the forces that be that they could always count on the local major's morning battle cry as a backup alarm clock.
"BAKA-SHINJI!!!!!!!" screeched a very angry redhead, "Hurry up! We're going to be late!!"
The volunteer houseboy was busy rapidly preparing their lunch for School.
"Gomengomengomengo..."
"SHUT UP AND MOVE YOUR ASS!!!" Hmm, speaking of ass...
Asuka blushed as she took a quick peek at the afore mentioned posterior, swiftly dancing all over the kitchen facing her.
"G-gomen. Sorry for keeping you waiting. Let's go!"
Both teens hurriedly dashed outside, nearly trampling over a penguin and a groggy Misato.
"G'Bye Kids!" the semi-drunk major managed to say before the door closed.
*SLAM! * The door slammed forcefully. Misato unluckily was treated with a painful resounding echo drilling her ears.
"ARRGH!! Freaking Kids!!, they're go'na kill me someday! "
-----------------------------------------
[In the classroom]
Shinji melted down on his chair, heaving and wheezing away.
"Yo, Shinji!" Shinji looked at stooge#2 and stooge#3 who were grinning like idiots.
"Ya' got'ta tell Asuka to slow down in the sack!" Touji quipped.
"All that morning romps with her are taking it's toll on ya." Kensuke added mock-sagely.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!!!" Asuka screamed as she expertly hit the duo with a really thick textbook right at the forehead.
"Ouch!" came two synchronized voice from the boys, which was perfected through excruciating practice, more often due to the same cause of injury.
"Get up and go back to your seats!" The class representative ordered.
Touji and Kensuke groaned they wobbled back to their desks, clutching their new lumps
"Thank god that we don't have to live with that b'yatch!" Touji whispered to his nerd buddy.
The bell rang as the teacher walks in
"Rise, Bow, and sit down."
Unfortunately, Shinji failed to greet the old bag due to the fact that he is unconscious through lack of proper sleep.
"Ikari Shinji!" The old bag bellowed
"ugh, shut up ashuka, jush fife moor minish......" Shinji drawled out, obviously unaware of his predicament.
The Class laughed as he drooled at his desk, in front of the teacher.
The half-German redhead fumed in her seat, glaring at the sleeping Shinji.
The teacher tapped Shinji's shoulder.
"will u shtop coming tu my rum ebfery fureeking murning!?" Shinji said while flailing an arm attempting to shove away the perpetrator who messes with his sleep.
The laughing intensified as the teacher re-composed himself.
Asuka finally burst.
"BAKA-SHINJI!!" Asuka smacked the back of the guy's head. This act always gets Shinji up.
Unfortunately, hitting the teacher's chin while he suddenly stood to attention.
------------------------------------------------
[Outside the classroom (after a few moments)]
"Thanks a lot, dumkopf!! This is all your fault!"
"Gomen.....ow!"
Asuka Kicked the poor boy in the shins. After months of being near Asuka almost all the time, Shinji developed higher endurance rate than before. This new feature served him well, whether fighting angels or (in this case) managing to hold two buckets of water and not spill it while being punished by his room-mate. If one would take a good look, one would find muscles starting to develop from his fragile figure.
------------------------------------------------
[Streets of Tokyo-3]
"This day sucks!" Shinji was stumbling back home and whining to himself.
First, waking up late after studying 'till 2 o'clock, then Asuka running ahead; making me run after her and causing a near-death experience at the intersection, then reprimanded for sleeping during class and making Asuka spill her bucket after hitting me some more (incurring her TOTAL unrestrained wrath)........
His knees started hurting again.
I need to stop at a pharmacy for this. Shinji winced.
After 5 more steps and he was rewarded with his 23rd trip to the pavement (teeth first).
"ARRRRRRRRGHHHHH"
Shinji proceeded to the nearest pharmacy. After buying painkillers and all, he then relaxed at a park bench to apply them and doze off for a while. It was getting late and the park is soon empty. The boy then awoke from a short nightmare of him being chased by a giant Gendo.
Shinji finally snapped and stood up.
"THAT'S IT!!! I can't take this crap anymore! I HATE MY LIFE!!!!"
A dark glow of green aura surrounded him then it bursted out creating a pillar of destructive energy. The pillar radiated from Shinji and shot up to the heavens only to fall back down on him. Everyone outside and by the window could see this anomalous spectacle. All got panicked but settled down after hearing no angel alarms. Shinji's agitated face changed to plain depressed mode but then shifted to a happy 'high on drugs' look.
"WHOA! That felt great!"
Shinji groggily looked around. He was now at a fresh crater where the bench he slept on once was. Fortunately he was carrying his bag up that time or his things might have dissipated along with the bench. He didn't see a NERV agent ran away from him fearfully at top speed while wetting his pants.
"h-h-how did that happen?" he asked none in particular.
[Meanwhile at the NERV headquarters]
"There was no blue patter or any sign of an Angel sir!" reported Makoto.
"Hmm...." replied the commander.
"I haven't seen that kind of power in years since I left Nerima's Furinkan high school......" added by a grinning Sub-commander.
"But Ryoga died after the second impact, it can't be him nor Ranma either..." Gendo deducted.
His musings were interrupted by a phone call.
{"Sir! The third child has emitted a strange energy and caused a slight destruction at the park!"} reported Shinji's secret NERV bodyguard.
{"...Agent #34958 and #68683 were sent to NERV infirmary after getting near the unknown force and were suffering from a whiplash, mild depression and a weird case of mid-life crisis..."}
"Where is he now?"
{"He's heading home now and is apparently......lightheaded."}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Misato's apartment]
Asuka was waiting for Shinji at the door.
"Where the hell have you been dumkopf?! It's Misato's turn to cook today and she's gon'na be here any minute! Get your ass to the kitchen and beat her to it so we can all avoid food-poisoning!"
".........." He didn't bother to greet her as he was starting to get over his slight headache.
"Hey! Are you listening to me? Baka-Shinji!"
*Thwack*
"Ow.... What did you do that for?"
"GO AND COOK NOW!"
"Fine........"
His depression started to rise again slowly.
-----------------------------------------------------
Act 2- Yo! Calm down man!
--------------------------------------
The next day, the three pilots were scheduled for sync tests.
{"Shinji, your sync rate is miserably low! You can barely move an Eva!"} Misato complained through the com-link.
"Gomen........I'm not up to it right now..." Shinji replied disheartened.
{"If you don't shape up immediately, the next angel attack may mean third impact."} Dr. Akagi Scolded.
"What's that suppose to mean! I can take on those angels solo!" Asuka pointed out.
{"No offense meant Pilot Sorhyu, but records show that Pilot Ikari has the most Angel kill count and battle experience thus making him the most dependable out of you three."}
"I could fight 100 times better than that jerk--"
Asuka was rudely interrupted from her rantings by an Angel attack.
{Great, just great.....} Groaned Misato
The commander and his subordinate entered the command console started giving orders.
"Report angel status!"
The huge screen displayed an angel that resembled Sachiel, only more bony-armored and gray in color.
"Angel is currently emitting a high level energy AT field and it's structure is covered with an unknown type of metal. It's arms has the ability to stretch to 57km at 23.32 seconds."
"Sir! It has already breached armor level 5!"
"Deploy the defense grid!"
"The automated defenses are unsuccessful Sir!
"Send the Evas!"
"Yes Sir!"
{Units 00 and 01 must box him in from both sides and Unit-02 must advance on the target.} The commander ordered through the comlink.
{Hai!}
{Hai!}
{...hai.}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Battlefield]
The target was busy pounding away at the military tank that tripped him earlier, and did not notice Unit-00 as it neutralized his AT field. The angel acknowledged the Evas' presence when a red titan interrupted him from his work.
"Take this!!!"
*Crunch* Asuka's progress knife only made a slight fracture on the skull.
This made the angel real pissed as it took the red one's arm and tossed her at armament building (which was unfortunately carrying low-grade N2-mines) and got knocked out in the explosion.
"Asuka!"
When the fumes have died, NERV activated the entry plug ejection on the burnt unit.
{Rei! Watch out!}
The angel then charged after Rei and threw her farther than Unit-02, ignoring Shinji's nugatory projectiles.
After emptying his gun, Unit-01 reached for It's Progress Knife- only to be stopped by being strangled by the neck. The entity then retracted it's arm while pulling Unit-01's face on the devastated floor. When the arm has been fully retracted, it lifted the battered Eva with both hands, up to the sky as if displaying him as a trophy.
{Shinji! Are you all right?!!} Asked Misato
The major didn't get a respond as she witnessed the hostaged Eva get a dark unholy green aura surrounding it.
"I......I can't win..."
{Shinji! can you hear-}
After landing on a shoe store, Unit-00 stood up then an explosion occurred.
*KABOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
A shockwave made the blue unit fall back on it's rear.
Mass destruction filled the battlefield as both the Angel and a pure tower of green destructive energy engulfed the Eva. After a few minutes, the smoke cleared up and revealed a battered Unit-01 punching hysterically at an already cracked core of an already dead Angel.
End of chapter 1
Next chapter: Gendo decides to help Shinji control his anger and depression by teaching him the family trade -Being an Ice-cold Bastard.
