CASE 01- Before the Hedgehog Settles. (Edited)

A teenager walks down the street and casually awaits at a pay phone while the town is deadly quiet… This kid had his hair long enough to reach to the back of his neck and he had wore an all blue suit with gold buttons to go straight down from his collar. He was told to look formerly, and that's exactly what he did. The teen pushed the buttons while looking down at the particular picture he had received with his letter. An woman who looked to be just out of college had wavy long purple hair and she was in a black bikini that had arrows pointing to the fleshiest parts to offer view of.

"Oh my, what a strapping young man! I bet you were staring! Tee Hee!" Shinji squealed, imitating his own impression of her already. "I bet that's what she'll sound like…" he complained. Though he did not waste any time to leave his position and try to reach his destination. Though he was set on coming to the city for some odd reason, he knew he was growing bitter ro everyone almost in the past few years, And it grew steadily with time. He always hated talking to others, only a few people he had cared about were left behind at his village that he left to come to Rinbo Tokyo. Shinji walked down aimlessly straight down a long road with no people in sight which struck him as suspicious.

"That's fine... Even if I got jumped, or got in a bad accident. I would not care. I have no aspirations of my own to follow, and I haven't found anything I really like. 'The world is too painful' was the title of the last paper I wrote in my small school. The village won't miss me, and that's what I've always wanted. I don't want to have ties with people, to only depend on those bonds just to feel happy. So why am I here? To look for my own happiness...maybe."

MEANWHILE

"Oh damn! I thought this GPS was useless! *Sigh* Of all things. WHY'D IT HAVE TO BE RIGHT NOW?!"

…

"Hmm, Geo, Geo, Geo…" Shinji looked for the sign that might point him to safety. "Geo-front. Right?" He asked himself. He turned around to what he thought was someone there but it was only a ray of light blocking his view, but he did look up to see birds flying away from their definitive sitting spots on the telephone line. A megaphone came over the town withing a white police chopper with Red Leaves and tree roots running all along the sides had colored the flying machine. It was hovering over various points in the city, moving from point to point every now and then to finish it's speech. giving fair warning to anyone who may have not left already.

"ATTENTION! RESIDENTS OF RINBO TOKYO. IF YOU HAVE NOT VACATED TO YOUR NEAREST SHELTER, THEN PLEASE DO HURRY. THIS IS FOR YOUR TOP SAFETY IN DEFENSE OF AN ANTICIPATED TERRORIST ATTACK IF" The mans voice with a huge megaphone flew above Shinji and stuttered, looking at the carelss boy. "H-HEY YOU DOWN THERE! YOU BETTER GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE! NOW'S NOT THE TIME TO BE WANDERING AROU-AHHHHH!" A spear of white light sent the helicopter in one piece flying into the ground beside him exploding. The spear of light disintegrated from his view. He hid his face from the smoke and he was truly frightened from the act that just came upon him. He heard a car slide up next to him and a door opened.

"M-MY BAD! GET IN!" The older woman on the picture showed up in a sleek looking black and white police cruiser with red and blue lights running along doors, with 2 spotlights on the roof.

"HEY! You're that trashy looking college girl!" He yelled.

"WHAT WAS THAT?!" The purple haired woman yelled who wasn't very much older than him. Her vein popped from her forehead and she went to reach out of the car and chuck him inside with a force to be reckoned with. "I thought it would be appealing!" She screamed while throwing the car in reverse with another object of light be chucked at them, but this was a round looking object that slid down the street towards them.

"HOLY CRAAAAAAAAAP!" The teen yelled in fear.

"IS THAT A HOLY HAND GRENADE!? GET DOWN!" She pushed herself atop of him with her chest muzzling his face.

"MMMF! MMMFFFF!" Muffled noises came from the stressed out teenager. And boom came from right underneath the car and the white light chuck their car miles into the sky as they were flying for 30 seconds high in the sky. Screaming to the top of their lungs for the whole dive, their cruiser landed into a nearby shallow lake just out of view from the city barely.

"Of all the…." The college girl gasped as she looked down at her dress she had just gotten out of the shop. "OH NO! My dress just cost me 6 months on loan payments and I selfishly wore it for occasion just for it to be ruined the day this attack is upon us! Not to mention this is the 3rd Cruiser I crashed all year and I might even get my licensed revoked if this goes on any longer! Damn it! Damn it all! Just my luck today! I just… HATE TODAY…" She stomped upon the cruiser that had the rear end sticking out of the water. The teen overheard her cries and ignored them as he swam out to land. He was halfway over and noticed she looked depressed sitting atop the cruiser, remaining quiet. Shinji had thought back to himself, "She saved my life and I'm just going to abandon her? I'm just as shameless as the that bastard..."

A memory popped into his mind and he was just a toddler, being 4 Years old waiting on a boat in the middle of a lake similar to this was a painful image of him sobbing as he awaited the return of his father all alone on the boat. He was all alone since and he had pent up anger for the old man. Practically attacking anybody who'd try and reason with his sudden breakdowns in the past. So he ignored this memory and got back to the car to sit next to the college girl. "Cheer up, this could be worse now, Thanks to you we're not dead" Shinji patted the girl on the back and saw her unexpected reaction. Her eyes popped open like blinds snapping open.

"My name is Misato, Misato Katsuragi." She held out her hand for approval.

I'm Shinji Ikari, Miss- Miss Katsuragi." He stuttered, trying to be as friendly as possible.

"So you are well mannered. Misato will do. So Shinji, we meet at last." She chuckled.

"Um Yeah." -_-

"So, why don't we swim on out and call for a pickup huh?" She suggested.

"You have a cell phone that survives water?" Shinji said sarcastically.

A vein popped out of her forehead. "Do you? Because not everything is perfect!" She yelled.

"Well I don't know, I have an unbreakable personality." Shinji said boringly.

"It seems quite easy to shatter." She snapped back.

"Just like your relationships?" He asked defensively .

"Well it's not like you'd know anything about relationships. *Chuckles* After all, you're just a boy."

"Hmm, Is that so…" Shinji huffed, Misato striked a nerve.

"Oh, I'm sowwy! Honestly! Once you settle down here, you can get the hang of it! We'll call it practice!" She tried to clumsily settle him down.

"Practice? You mean like I get to use you?" Shinji again said innocently with no prior intent on saying anything sexual.

Misato blushed like a ripe tomato and she jumped back away from him in the water. " W-What did you say?! You little pervert! URRRGH! Don't you have anything nice to say!" She squealed feet away from him.

Shinji was left scratching his head in confusion "Well, I was-" He stopped mid sentence.

"What is it?" She looked up to the sky and saw a White Helicopter with Red Tree roots running along the helicopter, and it had a red Symbol that said "NERV" and it was in a perfect White Square that held the letters in the box. The helicopter landed beside them and a blonde girl about the same age as Misato stepped out with an annoyed face on.

"Captain, we were expecting you to be out of town 30 minutes ago. Why must you insist on wasting time and manpower?"

"S-Sorry! We kind of had to dodge a grenade back their so uhh…" She couldn't try to make an excuse with her.

"Hmm, So you're him? Shinji Ikari?"

"Oh, uh yes. Hello." Trying his hardest to not sound like a jerk.

"You're not very talkative. Oh well, maybe that's just how you are Mr. Ikari. Come along now, we'll be getting you prepared then."

Gendo's office

"Ahh, so it's not what we expected it to look now is it Gendo?" An elderly man in gray hair and White suit made his statement clear.

"Yes, I'd expect this criminal to be much bigger. Him and his damn terrorist organization want to take on the last pillars of mankind. We'll just hope the Military doesn't have to waste so much of their money at failing in exterminating the target." The commander himself said slyly as he held his regular sitting pose with his hands cupped around each other while he thought.

"Yes, and we can furthermore put them to shame since we can actually capture him and arrest him. No murder needed."

INTERMISSION

TOKYO POLICE 2016

The Hedgehog burrows.

A door made entirely of a wired fence rolled out of the way, rattling once they made it to ground at a simple metal docking pad in the middle of the ocean. Shinji stepped off of the pad and he made his way with the two with him as the helicopter took off. "Busy today aren't we? Well it is to be expected. I'd suspect no less than a hundred fatalities today." Shinji caught notice of her attitude already, a grim look on things was what he thought, almost as if it was like a- "Oh well, Shit happens you know?" Yup… He was right.

And so the fence shut close behind him and he stepped on a large metallic standing pad it had made it's way diagonally down. Shinji felt a creep up his spine once the gates shut behind him. He did not panic, but only awaited the movement of the floor. And thus there were no lights to spring on, so they had made their way down slowly and he could see light creep out from under the cracks in his feet and he saw gold hit his eyes through the glass they were now in between. He looked out to his left and saw a glamorous looking pillar of White with Tree roots growing all along it to the top and there were 2 small square buildings that were plain black that disturbed him a bit. Each building on top of them looked to have an arena to fight on. Each side had it's own flag and the Black building on the right had a heavenly looking badge of NERV's that was all white and with the symbol glowing. But to the left was an all dark one with the Badge looking rusty and scraped out.

"Umm, Miss Akagi." He said confused.

"Hmm? Enough with the formality! We're friends now! Try it ok?" Misato yelled casually.

"Okay, Well Ritsuko, there are two buildings here, but they both have flags… Is this like a training course? Other kids are here?" He was a little worried.

"Of course! This is one of the very few Geo-fronts in the world, and all the kids here are either living here, or training to take the very few places we have left in our protection services. We are the law and we stand to keep the last stakes of mankind alive. The city you know up top there will be gone soon, and the public will flock to us in need of help." Misato butted in, saying in a proud speech.

"And… I'm one of the few to take that protective place…?" He held his lip, biting it.

"Of course! Of course you are! Did you not read the pamphlet?" Misato asked him in surprise.

"Ehh…" Shinji almost said whiningly. "All my teacher said was that I was going far away to help mankind's struggle against a dangerous terrorist group. Doesn't my father work here? Am I going to see him?" He struggle saying, turning away with a sickening feeling in his stomach.

"Bad blood between the two of you? You sound just like me." Misato didn't add anymore to the conversation, but only left him wondering. The ride came to a stop and the golden light had vanished along with the gorgeous view.

"GAH! Are you guys trying to make this place as creepy as humanly possible?" Shinji then heard energy quietly buzzing from up top and he still awaited any light to show where he was exactly. The white light grew strong enough to finally light up the room he was in. It was a rusty metallic room with one chamber in the middle with water full inside of it. A leather chair was inside of the water chamber and this only left the boy even more nervous. "Are you... gonna put me in there? A- An nature molder?" Shinji saw on of these devices leaked online.

"Incorrect." An upsetting voice to Shinji came over an intercom. A bright LED light shone through the wall on the opposite end of the chamber and there was Gendo Ikari, The worthless father.

"W-What." Shinji could not breathe and the two college girls looked surprised at his reaction to his dad. Shinji was shaking from the sight of his father, and lost his alter ego who was a wise cracking asshole to everyone he met today.

That's a prototype synthetic life form Evangelion. A tool we must use to fend off the terrorist group known as the Angels. And you are going to get in there and fight." Gendo voiced his menacing voice to his son, hoping to force him into submission.

"Y-You want me to get in- Th-That chamber? Is it just like that? But what if I… I never seen anything like this?! What the hell am I supposed to do with it?!" Shinji yelled frighteningly "W-WHY DID I COME?!" Shinji threw his back away from everybody, and Misato came over to him in seek of answering his question.

"Why Shinji? Could you tell me why? You came here of your own will didn't you? Then why?" She had her hand on his shoulder. "I'll tell you why. You came here to face your father, and to perhaps face yourself! This could be your chance of finally getting back at him, or maybe you just want to find something out here. Maybe it was all just for the hell of it, but either way you came here on your own. We have a terrorist to beat and you're the only one who can do it. YOU are the one." Shinji heard these words from Misato, but they only made him make his decision much harder than needed. He looked back to her, the chamber, and then his father who he could not visually see still from the blinding light behind him.

"I do not have time for play time with a child. If you are going to do it, then you should just do it now. If you're not going to do it, THEN JUST LEAVE." Gendo's words hit Shinji in the stomach and he could not say a word against it.

"I… I just can't. I just can't do it." Shinji said while he looked in shame at the ground, leaving Misato disappointed, and about everybody else who overheard. The two college girls who accompanied him had left him alone.

"Prepare Rei."

"We can- WE CAN USE HER? SURELY NOT?!" Foyutski stumbled on his words in surprise.

"We'll just have to see if this chamber works with her." Gendo made his decision clear. And there she was, A girl was escorted by two men in berets who wore the same white uniform as everyone else, and this girl had light blue hair, red eyes and a faceless expression. Her hair was not long, but it was short and down to her shoulders and unkempt.

"Is this the other?" the girl asked, with eyes on Shinji. The two officers with her nodded their head. "I see, so he wasn't useful?" Rei made another statement with no emotion in her voice. Another nod came from the two officers.

"I knew it… I'm really not needed after all. This was all so STUPID…" Shinji thought to himself, while berating himself for not getting in already. But then a loud sudden thud came from outside, and Gendo voiced. "So, It's found us?" Another thud came but it was a familiar spear of light he saw earlier and it came through the ceiling and hit Rei in the side. She was bleeding like a cut pig, so Shinji instinctively ran to her side. He held her and he held up his hand from all the blood seeping through her white overcoat, and he almost fainted…

"I mustn't run away…" He told himself. "I'll do it!" He yelled over Rei's head. "I'll get in that Evangelion!" And so his choice was made.

Misato came to his aid with a box that was full of equipment he was going to need to use. "S-Sorry! I just knew you'd come through, so I got you all of this for your battle!" She opened the cardboard box and handed him a mask to put on. It was a Ski mask sure, but it resembled a rabbit from the ears it had atop. On the inside was metal plating and the eye holes had see through glass that looked like it would reveal him a HUD. He put it on and immediately, he felt a jolt in his head, and he was very tired. He slouched over and people saw his reaction. "It works! Commander the ghost mask works on him!" Misato yelled in joy. The boy was unconscious and she walked him over to the chamber full of water. She opened the door to it and the water stood still in there until she moved the boy in front of it and then the water had swirled around inside, placing the chair on the ground with the water all behind it. Misato placed Shinji in the seat and then the water spiked in the air and all settled in the chamber with him inside of it. Shinji then slowly came to awaken, and he looked around inside the chamber he was in.

"M-Misato, I feel like I'm… Vanishing…" Shinji said tiredly.

Misato put her hand on the glass and her face close to it. "Don't worry, we'll walk you through it and you'll be able to take out that angel bastard easily. I promise." Shinji reached his hand out to hers on the other side of the glass, but everything in the chamber morphed into a blue sphere of water. "Alright… Where do we fire it commander?"

"I think it would be most suitable to use Unit 01 with this element. I mean you gave him the mask for it." Gendo said in an obvious tone. Thus Misato came to a lever wired to the chamber and launched the sphere into a sort of outlet on the top of the glass chamber. It got sucked into it, and finally Shinji's eyes awoke. He was inside of something metallic, and immediately, he felt physically different. His eyes were perfectly round, he had long ears atop of his head, and his legs were long and very muscular. And his arms were still long too, though he could tell they were inches less as long. Though his arms were not as muscular, he had a feeling he wouldn't need them. He was in a pitch black room until a bright white light in front of him flashed on. He seemed to be on a launch pad and he heard gears roll around under his feet.

"EVANGELION UNIT 01! LAUNCH!" Shinji could hear Misato's voice through a radio imbedded into his mask. He felt a huge push underneath his feet, and he felt the cold air whiz by him as he went faster than the speed of light upwards. He finally was outside, and he looked below him from the sky and saw the darkly lit city below him. This was the town he arrived in… He landed on a tall building over looking the city and a voice came through the radio.

"Shinji, the way you want to work the Evangelion is if you just use it like you would your body, but I can see you're already confident in exploring it's uses I see." Ritsuko said amusingly. "Even though you're probably comfortable with it already, We need you to stay calm and be aware of your surroundings and use it to your advantage. Try jumping higher to a vantage point."

"Higher." Was all Shinji could say. So he readied his jump, and he leaped miles in the sky, but he overshot the building he was looking for and instead landed face first onto the hard ground beside it. He could hear many voices of his intercom panicking about something but he couldn't pay attention to it all once he saw what it was. A white glowing being about the same size as him wore the mask of Red crow. Shinji staggered back but the angel took it's chance and struck him in the stomach with what seemed to be a spear and his inside's were burning. "AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Shinji screeched in pain as he held his stomach.

"Shinji! Calm down, that's not really your stomach!" Shinji looked up as he felt his insides burning on the inside and he saw it restrain him. It pushed him onto the ground, and it continuously pounded on his left leg, finally breaking it. Shinji was at a loss for words until it finally shot a ray through his right eyes, leaving him half dead, and half awake. No sound reached him until he heard something loud was starting to beat loudly. Like another heart.

"Jesus! EXTRACT HIM NOW! THERE IS NO TIME!" Misato yelled to all support awaiting in the sky above. But no word came from them. Only static was received from her end. "DAMNIT! GET ME LIVE FEED OUT THERE! WHERE'S OUR SUPPORT!?" Misato yelled but finally a bloody screen was revealed to them and The evangelion was roaring loudly like a possessed demon. A human hand laid beside the camera, and there was smoke all around the area. Flames came upon the earth, and there was a dim white glow from the angel that was on it's back on the street. The Eva creeped closer to it while the angel cried. It plucked all limbs from it as a golden liquid was splashing from the creature all along the buildings beside them. The Eva took one more roar as it stepped away from the scene and it had its life system shut down shortly after…

"SHINJI!"

The morning after...

"!" Shinji gasped and then opened his eyes and looked at an unfamiliar ceiling that gave him the notion that he was inside of a hospital. Calm quiet music could be heard over the hospitals intercom as it cycles pop hit songs throughout the time. "Unfamiliar ceiling." He whispered to himself.

RINBO TOKYO

"Yesterday was a bit extreme for his first day wouldn't you agree? I mean we just thought things would go our way because of 'SCIENCE!' But of course things just aren't that simple Ritsuko." Misato mocked her friend that sat beside her on a rather large shuttle train for NERV personnel only.

"I never said things would go the way I wanted! I guess I was too eager to see the life form in action. Sure Rei's used it a few times, but Shinji… He got to use Unit 01! The rabbit system was amazing to see in work was it not?" Ritsuko was about to go on a tangent but stopped to hear her friends opinion.

"(Sigh) You always cared more about the machine than human life Ritsuko…" Misato made no opinion, but only made fun of her friend.

"I noticed recently… You're not over protective of him are you? You never know what'll happen in the end Misato. I'm sure you know more about that than anyone."

"Yeah? And I know just how ready you are to just throw out that 'Well Shit happens' attitude… IT'S INHUMANE!" Misato got red in the face as she cornered herself to the window feeling a bit embarrassed of her sudden protection for the teen.

"So… You're afraid to let go of your mother figure?" Ritsuko said with sadness. "Just don't cry to me when something happens. It's too painful to see you work for something so hard and then lose it…" (Or is it something else?) Ritsuko thought.

"He's still so young, But I mean so are we, there's no wrong in being too careful."

"Heh, Well Shinji just awoke." Ritsuko flipped open her phone to read the message she received from Hyuga.

"So you think he's okay? You don't think he's warped do you?!" Misato panicked.

"Warped? You mean like maybe he's turning delusional? Heh, I don't think so. If you really want to find out, then you should go find out yourself Misato." The blonde pointed her finger at her friend.

"Well…"

Cranial Nerves

The boy sat in the clothes he arrived in, and he only stared down at the leg which was broken last night in the attack and did not take his eyes off of it. He heard footsteps behind him but he didn't say a word. He stood up and the girl who came to meet him walked beside him to the elevators. Misato knew he was in an odd state from the aftermath, but she only kept small talk with him along the way. She pushed the elevator button and it opened it's two blocky doors to the commander. He looked down at Shinji, but he only looked away. The doors closed again, and Misato felt the encounter was truly frightful for Shinji. They went to the other one and went to see where his living quarters would be. "Shinji Ikari, you will be living away from all the students here to secure your position and personal safety, as requested by Commander Ikari."

Shinji flinched. "He… Requested?"

"Mmm Hmm." The suited man nodded. "Guess he's a lot more caring than I thought. At least he wants you to be safe kid, Personally safe."

"Well then… Thats fine." He said easily.

"WHAT?! You're gonna live alone?!" Misato screeched in surprise.

"It's fine, I really don't mind Misato. I'm alone anyway. Heh heh." Shinji sounding casual, only bringing anger to Misato's expression.

…

"What?! You're taking him home with you?!" Ritsuko piped up over the phone.

"That's right! I'm taking Shinji to live at home with me, It'll be good for him! Besides. I'm not just gonna let him have a pass at a fresh college girl like me!" She joked while waving to Shinji who was near the wall to her. He awkwardly raised his hand to wave but he noticed Misato looked to be in pain.

"OF COURSE YOU"RE NOT! HONESTLY! MOTHER OF THE YEAR GOES TO THE FRESH COLLEGE GIRL WHO GETS FRISKY WITH A HIGH SCHOOLER! IN ALL MY YEARS MISATO, I HAVE NEVER-"

"Some people really can't take a joke can they?" Misato held the phone far away from her ear when she could still hear the upset yelling from Ritsuko. She hung up the phone, not patient enough to calm her friend down. So she chuckled nervously as she made her way way back to Shinji. "Well uh, Ritsuko just found out she's just 5 pounds heavier so we're just gonna take off. Ohhhhkay? OHHHHKAAAY!" Misato made no room for his input.

"Hmm, that's a shame." Shinji stroked his chin thinking. (I'll give her a diet plan!) Shinji thought to himself, walking into an elevator with the woman he met yesterday. Not giving any word of disapproval, though he did feel very insecure around her.

Gendo's office

"So I was right. He'll have doubts about himself, and that will be his downfall. Perhaps if we push the students to take precautionary measures, then my son may be looked upon as a hero, a legend, A pilot…" Gendo kept his blank expression strong, though he was only talking to the gray haired friend of his, Foyutski.

"So you finally want to take notice in your son? Are you trying to toy with him? IS THIS SOME KIND OF EXPERIMENT?!" Foyutski was disgusted in Gendo's simplicity of just abusing his own blood.

"Experiments are needed to be done in this type of situation Kozo, for this particularly touchy situation I'd say."

RESTAURANT: RINBO TOKYO CAPITAL

"This town sure has a rude awakening coming for anybody who doesn't either run to the ground like moles, or those who want to live anywhere that's not already been run out by the terrorist group…"

"Oh yeah. But it's not going to be so bad! My son just went and got to be enrolled into NERV POLICE force and he said he'd be up top guarding the city! I never saw it down in the Geo front but he told me it's just dreamy down there, but he's assured this city won't fall to those Angel bastards." Two suited up men were sitting at a nearby table behind Shinji, and Misato caught glances of them talking, but tried as hard as possible to ignore Shinji's constant frowning he'd given from their conversation.

"Don't make me laugh! I sure as hell hope your son doesn't have to use this for protection." A slap of paper was all Shinji heard, and sounded like newspapers.

"W-What the hell is that?!" The father had shouted quietly.

"Who knows, but it went out of it's way to destroy innocent lives trying to help it seems."

Shinji grew a sick swirl in his stomach and blocked out the rest of their conversation once his food came to their table. "Hey Misato." Shinji said sternly.

"Mmm Hmm?" Misato nodded with a mouthful of steak.

"Would you mind… if I?" He looked to the door and she quickly waved him off happily as she set her steak down. She already read him like a book and knew he wanted to take his food home. She called the waitress over and began her oddball conversation.

"Hey! I'd like a box for all of this, he's running late for a date and I'd rather not have that on my conscious!" She said in a silly tone. Simply the maid walked on over and simply winked at Shinji. He didn't know how to react so he just awkwardly giggled, he just wanted to get out of this atmosphere… It was… Disgusting.
