Genesis of Ikari by Shinji Ace Ikari I AM (prologue) ------------------------------------------------------------- 'Tears...Am I crying?' Is this my wish? To be one of mind and soul with Ikari-kun?' Shinji and Unit 01 were finally launched and just managed to avoid being penetrated by the Angel like Unit 00 was. 'No....I must protect him. I won't let you take him.' With that determined thought, Rei reached for the lever to self-destruct Unit 00 and take the Angel with her. -------------------------------- Shinji in Unit 01 was suddenly bombarded with the thought 'No. I won't let you take him.' Her pain and her thoughts. 'NO. She can't' Shinji thought. "Ayanami? NO! I won't let you do it!" Shinji suddenly had Unit 01 grasp the other end of the 16th Angel and started pulling with all the strength he could muster. Rei suddenly felt something tug at Unit 00. "Ikari-kun? Why?" "No time for explanations, Rei. Later, ne?" Shinji mockingly responded. From an outside observer Unit 01 looked like it was on berserk mode, tugging furiously at the 16th Angel and trying to free Rei and Unit 00 from it's control. Shinji was very determined and seemed to use strength that he never possessed before. The angel writhed in his hands violently, not wanting to give its host up. -------------------------------- "Commander, Unit 00's contamination level is going down! Unit 01 is taking the angel out of Unit 00!" Maya noted. Commander Ikari just looked on, never making a comment. A close observation would show a hint of concern on his unchanging visage. This was not beyond Fuyutski though. 'Who are you worried more about, Ikari? Rei or you own son?' he thought. -------------------------------- "I won't let you take her! Not Rei." Shinji exclaimed. "Aarrgghh!" More and more of the angel's length was pulled out of Unit 00. Rei felt the outside intrusion leave her body little by little not without pain. The angel was trying it's hardest to hold on to it's link with Rei Ayanami. However, it felt Unit 01's doings and mused. "He must care for you then," the angel observed. "Care?" "You yourself care but since you are not familiar with that emotion you chose to ignore it or do nothing about it. You are very fortunate, child of Lillith. The chosen one cares for you." "Ikari-kun...Do I care for him as you claim? What do I have to offer him? I have nothing," Rei responded. -------------------------------- Before the angel could respond, Unit 01 yanked on it with such strength and ferocity that Rei knew that it's existence no longer possessed her Eva. Unit 01 coiled the lucent angel, which tried to invade it. Suddenly, the 16th angel coiled its whole being around Unit 01's arms. It appeared to prepare for the penetration of Unit 01. Unit 00 was stationary and appeared to have lost complete power. Rei felt helpless despite her physical condition and began to lose consciousness. 'Ikari-kun...cares...?' and passed out in her entry plug. -------------------------------- "Life signs detected in Unit 00. The pilot lost consciousness but seems to be okay. A large amount of energy has been detected from the angel though," Hyuga noted. "NO! Not Shinji!" Misato watched from the control facility. "It's trying to get into Shinji now. Commander, what should we do?" she asked, only half-expecting the Commander of Nerv and Shinji's father to reply. "Negative...It's not trying to penetrate Unit 01...rather--" Maya was cut short. -------------------------------- "You have yourself to offer him" the angel informed the unconscious pilot of Unit 00 discreetly and with that coiled on the arms of Unit 01. Shinji noted this and somewhat panicked. 'It's trying to get me now.' Rather than the penetration he anticipated, the alien being turned a very bright orange and self-destructed itself on the arms of Unit 01. The explosion was so intense and made it impossible for the staff at the Nerv facility to make any reports on what just transpired. Misato held her breath. 'Shinji not again!' As if to answer Misato's plea, a purple shape began to formulate itself. In the midst of chaos and turbulence, the familiar form of Unit 01 rose from the fires and ashes to be visible on the screen. Those who held their breath in anticipation at Nerv facility breathed sighs of relief. -------------------------------- Unknown to the outside world, Shinji was having a hard time dealing with the angel. Although its physical form blew up on him, it's mental form invaded his mind. "Ikari Shinji, Chosen One, do not fear us. We mean you no harm despite what you do to us." 'Who?' "You will understand soon. You are destined for greater things. You will struggle and be broken many times but you will arise stronger than before." 'Me...no not me. I am weak. I cower in my father's presence and everybody else's. I am a coward.' "Do not concern yourself with such trivial things, Chosen One." 'Stop calling me that!' "As you wish. We have no more time. Please forgive us. For now take care of the Child of Lilith. Take care of Rei. Sleep for now." With that said, Shinji began to drift off in his Eva. "Rei..." -------------------------------- To everyone's surprise, Eva Unit 01 started to slump over. It landed on its knees and finally fell to the concrete ground face first. The staff at Nerv was trying frantically to find out what just happened. Unit 01 just went down. "What just happened? Did Unit 01 just lose power?" "Negative. The S2 engine working fine. The collapse seems to have been caused by an internal action." "We can't figure out what's wrong." "Give me something here! What's the status of the pilot? Life signs?" "Unknown. Life signs cannot be verified." To be continued... Well, this is my first try at a fanfic. Please e-mail me your comments and suggestions. Chapter One will be coming up soon.
