More Angels?
by TK
Part III
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rei was running down the street. Her eyes were blinded with
tears.
*Tears? These are tears? Why am I crying? Why?* she thought
as she ran across the road. As she was in the middle of the road a
blue sports car suddenly appeared from the corner of the street. Rei
never saw the car as it hit her and drove away. A hit and run accident.
She was left lying in the blood puddle. HER blood puddle.
Sharp pains tore through her whole body. She couldn't even
move a muscle. As she was in the blink of dying, she thought of what she
said to Shinji before the goddesses came. *If I die, there will be
replacement.* She thought of the irony of it. Sure, she was a clone, and
there were hundreds of Ayanami Rei in the Nerv base, but no one can
replace her. She was different. She was an individual. She was human.
*Good Bye Shinji.* she thought as blackness overcame her.
***
"What are Evas? Why are you guys fighting the Angels?" Skuld
asked Shinji.
"Uh...We fight the Angels because they caused the second
impact....." Shinji started to reply.
"What is the Second Impact?"
Well, thought Shinji, this is going to be a long day. Then he
started to explain the second impact, Nerv, Evas to Skuld.
***
Belldandy decided to buy some food to cook tonight. Keiichi
insisted on coming with her and now they were walking to the nearby market,
with Belldandy humming softly. As they were crossing the street, they
nearly got run over by an ambulance.
"Hey! Watch where you're going!" Keiichi yelled.
Belldandy, curious of what's going on, started to walk to the
direction where the ambulance was going.
*Someone's hurt.* She thought. Of course Keiichi was following
her. Soon they arrived to the scene of the accident.
***
"Miss Skuld is a new student in this school. Please make her
feel comfortable around here." the teacher told the students.
"Hey! She's cute!" Touji exclaimed as Skuld stuck her head into
the classroom. Hikari was furious. How dare Touji claim a 12-year-old
to be cute when she is around? Unfortunately for her, the teacher made
matters worse.
"Skuld can sit between Shinji and Touji."
"Hey, where did you pick up a cutie like her?" Touji asked
Shinji. Shinji blushed furiously.
"It's not like that. She just came to this city and I am just
a friend to hang around with." Shinji replied.
Kensuke came from behind and asked. "Say, did you guys see
Ayanami today? She didn't come to school." Shinji shrugged, and told
him how Asuka insulted her.
"Asuka insulted her? But doesn't Asuka insult her every once
a while? Why does this one hurt her while the others don't?" Touji asked
"May be Wonder Girl had one of her mood swings." replied Asuka
who's across the room. Hikari could be seen discussing something with her.
Something about pedophile?
***
Rei suddenly woke up after an eternity had passed for her. She
was still on the ground. But she could vaguely hear the siren of an
ambulance. Two people were crouching down beside her, or was it three?
They were screaming her name as she felt herself lifted up and put into
the ambulance. She felt so tired. And she wanted to sleep....forever.
***
Belldandy was sobbing uncontrollablely while Keiichi was
comforting her.
"Don't worry. She'll be ok. She was still alive when the
ambulance arrived." but only barely, Keiichi thought to himself.
They watched as Rei was put into the ambulance and driven
away.
"Come on Belldandy, let's go to the hospital." Keiichi said
while dragging Belldandy to his new motocycle. Then he drove to the hospital
at top speed.
***
Shinji felt terrible for Rei. It wasn't usual for Rei to run
off crying like that, Asuka's comment must had hurt her deeply. He
thought of all the time Rei had saved his life and how little he could
do for her. And when Asuka insulted her, he couldn't do anything except
watching Rei running off. Rei was his friend.
Shinji was interrupted in his thoughts when Skuld shooked him
"Hey Shinji! School is over already! Wake up!"
Shinji looked around and found that everyone had left except
Skuld and a very annoyed Asuka.
"Where's Kensuke and Touji?" Shinji asked
"They are visiting Touji's sister in the hospital." Asuka
replied.
"Say, since we have nothing to do, may be we can visit his
sister! A suprise you know." Skuld beamed.
"Yeah of course." Shinji replied. Then he turned to Asuka,
"Would you like to come along?"
*Hmm..I had never visited Touji's sister before, might as well
do it now to show Touji that I am a NICE person.* Asuka thought.
"Ok." came the reply.
***
Touji and Kensuke were came out from the room where Touji's
sister was.
"She's doing better and better now isn't she?" asked Kensuke
"I guess so. At least she can talk now."
"Hey, don't you think that Skuld is cute?"
"Yeah, but Hikari glares at me everytime I look over to Skuld."
"Guess so. I think Hikari likes you."
"Hey! No, she does not."
They turned a corner and saw Belldandy and Keiichi sitting on
the bench outside an emergency room. Belldandy was crying softly as Keiichi
held her in his arms and offered her a napkin.
"Aren't you Skuld's sister?" Touji asked.
"Yes. Who are you?" Keiichi asked.
"We are Skuld's classmates and we just visited my sister."
"Oh." Keiichi said. "Belldandy, let me call Urd and see what
she can do about this." He got up and went to the pay phone.
"Hello?"
"Urd, this is Keiichi."
"Hey, how's shopping? You are alone with Belldandy right? How
is it going? Did you kis....."
"Stop, Urd, this is serious."
"What's so serious?"
"Come down to the hospital near the candy store and go to
the second floor. We are in hall G."
"Huh? The hospital? Ok. Bye!"
When he got back he saw how the expressions of the two teenagers
had altered. Obviously Belldandy had told them about Rei's accident.
"How did she got hit by the car?" Kensuke asked
"I don't know. The driver drove on after he hit her. He didn't
even check on her! She was bleeding so much..." Keiichi said. His fists were
shaking with rage.
Just then Asuka, Shinji and Skuld spotted them.
"There you are!" Skuld said happily while running towards Touji
and Kensuke. Then she realized Keiichi and Belldandy were here and the
group was looking very morbid. Shinji and Asuka just stared at each
other in puzzlement.
"What's going on?" Shinji asked Keiichi
"Rei." Keiichi started. This caused Shinji to jump. He had been
worried for her for an entire day. "She was hit by a car and is now in the
emergency room." Shinji started to back away slowly and someone stopped him
It was Urd.
"What's going on here? Why does everyone look so grim?" asked
Urd.
As if to answer Urd's question the door of the emergency room
opened and the doctor walked out.
"How is she? Will she be fine?" Belldandy asked.
"I am sorry. We tried everything we could. She'll die soon." the
doctor said.
"REEEEEEEIII!!" Shinji screamed and burst into the room.
Everyone followed him.
Rei was bandaged from head to toe like a mummy. There were
tubes all around her to assist her circulating system and to provide
food and blood. Blood can be faintly seen beneath all those
bandages.
*It's all my fault. If I hadn't insult her, she would not
get run over by a car.* Asuka thought to herself.
Belldandy stood there for a moment, then she made up her mind
and with determination she changed into her most powerful goddess form.
"Holy Bell." with that call the angel appeared. "Heal this
girl with me." Belldandy ordered as she began to pull all her enery and
resources into a healing spell. *Even if I die for running out my enery,
I would save this girl.* Then she felt a hand on her shoulder. It was Urd's.
"You are not the only goddess around here. We would help too."
Urd looked at Skuld, and Skuld nodded.
Skuld and Urd changed into their goddess form and joined hands
with Belldandy, with Rei's bed in the center. They called upon
the enery from nature and concentrated it to become a bluish sphere.
They chanted and a blue sphere surrounded the bed and Rei.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the AMG universe......
Two days had passed since Peorth and Megumi started their
goddess searching,but nothing had come to light. Peorth had explained
everything that she knew about Belldandy to Megumi, starting from
Keiichi's wish to their disappearance.
"Ugh! This is hopeless!" Peorth told Megumi "All I can find
odd is that all the building tools are in Skuld's room. And it is not
even that odd since Skuld build stuff all the time!"
*RIIING*
Megumi picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"Peorth! This is Kami-sama! Did you find Belldandy yet?"
Megumi sweatdropped and quickly handed over the phone to
Peorth.
"Um, my lord...." "Um not yet." Then Peorth pulled the phone
from her ear since Kami-sama started to yell in his top voice.
"yes yes" "ok, bye my lord." Then Peorth hanged up the phone and tested
if her ears were functioning anymore.
"Sheesh. He didn't have to yell that loud. My ears hurt and
I could still hear the ringing." Peorth complained. Then she turned on
the TV.
"Hey! Aren't we suppose to find my brother and Belldandy?"
Megumi asked.
"Yeah, but a little break won't hurt."
Peorth started flipping channels. "
TV: A seven year old murdered his.....(switch)....a dog had
been found dead./..(switch)....the wrestling match turned to a.......
(switch).....Barney.....(switch)......teleporting had been a dream....
(switch).....X-men must pay....
*wait a minute* Peorth thought, then
she switched to the channel talking about teleporting and dream.
TV: People had wrote science fictions with characters using
some transport machines.
*Click* Peorth turned the TV off.
*That's it! Skuld built some kind of transport machine and
they teleported out of this place. And since they are not in Earth,
Heaven and Hell they must be in another reality!* Peorth thought.
*Funny that Belldandy would agree to leave Kami-sama.*
"Hey Megumi, stop working on your bike and let's see
what kind of machine Skuld built."
"Machine?"
"Yeah, I think they used a transport machine to teleport
out of this place."
"But how do we find them?"
"Uh...we can report this to Kami-sama first." Peorth picked
up the phone and dialed a number.
"My lord?"
"Peorth? what did u find?"
"I think that Skuld somehow built a transport machine and
they teleported out of this world. You know, this reality."
"WHAT?!? How are you going to find them now?"
"Uh...I am still trying to figure that out."
Another yelling filled the phone. Peorth's ears were not having
a good day.
***
Back in the hospital, the goddesses were desperately trying
to save Rei's life. After a while, they broke off from their long chant.
All the wounds of her healed itself.
"Is she saved?" everyone asked.
"She would be alived." Belldandy began. Everyone sighed in
relief. "But she would be in a coma. Her soul is hiding somewhere deep
in her mind. If we don't get it out in time she would be dead nevertheless."
"How can we do that?" Shinji asked.
"We need someone to go into Rei's mind. But it is extremely
dangerous. If somehow one gets killed in her mind, then he or she would
be dead in this reality."
"It's all depended on the soul. If it gets killed in there
there's no way the physical body can live." Urd added.
"I would go." Shinji told Belldandy.
"WHAT? You can't be serious can you? You would be killed in
there within a minute!" Asuka exploded.
"If anyone can convince Rei to live, that would be me." Shinji
glared at Asuka. "I am her friend."
Belldandy motioned Shinji to hold Rei's bandaged hands. After
he did, she began to chant.
Shinji felt dizzy all of a sudden, then with a sudden jolt
He felt himself sucked into Rei's Body.
Keiichi caught Shinji's now abandoned body before it hit
the ground.
============================================================================
Author's Notes: Why did I do this to Rei? No I don't hate her. In fact,
she's my favorite character in EVA. This story somehow
sounded more serious for no reason now. Oh well. Why did
I make Asuka sounded like an idiot at all time? I don't know
but that's her only side that I recognized after watching
the TV episodes.

More Angels?

Part IV
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shinji carefully walked in Rei's mind as if he was expecting
something dangerous would appear out of nowhere and kill him. He followed
the path on the.....uh.....trail and ended up looking at a big statue.
*What is this?* Shinji thought. Then he notice the sign on the
left of the statue. It says: No one allowed to enter.
He walked past the statue and continued his path, then the path
led to a dark, spooky, blue forest? Well, this was Rei's mind right? So
everything was possible. Next I would be standing in front of a spider
legged rabbit!
***
"How is he doing?" Touji asked. Asuka had left earlier since she
couldn't stand standing beside someone whom she was responsible for her
near-death.(Author flashback: English teacher telling him that there were
too many wordy sentences in his essay.)
"His soul is still in one piece." Urd replied.
"Oh ok. Thanks"
"No problem." Yeah right. He's gonna pay big time for asking
that question every 2 minutes.
"How is he doing?"
Urd rolled her eyes. Make it two seconds.
***
Asuka was sobbing in her room. She had just notified Misato
about Rei's accident and now Gendou, Misato and Ritsuko were getting to
the hospital. Asuka felt herself unable to face Shinji and the others
now. No, not after this. She had basically insulted Rei for no particular
reason and now the albino girl was dying because of that. What was wrong
with her? Why did she insult Wonder Girl?
***
Gendou Ikari slammed down his phone and ran out of his office.
He pushed pass Maya who was in his way. Maya was scared of his face. His
calm and collected composure was completely gone. Instead it was replaced
by total fear and despair. Now Gendou Ikari was a man who never got scared
by small things. The only time she saw him like that was when Eva-00 went
berseck while testing and nearly boiled Rei to death.....then realization
struck her. She cover her mouth with her hands in horror as she realized
what it meant. Ayanami Rei was in mortal danger, if not so, dead.
*No. Rei, you can't die! No!* Gendou Ikari was running at
a speed that would make Olympic athletes felt shame.
*You are my daughter.* he paused. *Help me Yui.* Gendou called
his long dead wife. (Rei was a clone based on Yui's DNA)
***
Misato was shocked to see Asuka came home crying. It wasn't like
Asuka at all. That girl was always so pride of herself being tough and
perfect she wouldn't lose her face with crying. Heck, that girl had
a confidence, if not, ego that could match with Ranma Saotome!
*Ok,* Misato thought to herself, *No more Ranma 1/2 manga.*
"What's wrong Asuka?"
"Wonder.......Rei, it was her. Sh.(sob)..she....she got hit by a
car and she is..(sob).....dying in a hospital."
A second hadn't been wasted as Misato grabbed her keys, hopped
into the car and drove towards the hospital at top speed. Her reckless
driving skills nearly caused three car accidents.
***
Ritsuko was in a small room that even Misato was not allowed
to be in. She was holding a remote control of something. She was staring
at Rei, no, hundreds of Ayanami Rei clones in a liquid tanks with disgust
in her eyes.
*I have fallen into my mother's path. Be Gendou Ikari's lover.
Be used to maintain the super computer. Gendou never loved us. He loved
only his wife Yui.* This should be obvious. How did she be used like
her mother? She stared at the remote control for a moment, and then
pressed a button. She laughed madly as hundreds of Reis dissolved and
destroyed. That was her revenge.
*Yui would be wiped out of existance if that clone in the
hospital dies.* She thought.*I paid a large sum of money for the little
'accident'. Rei needs to die.* The alarm in that room ran off, and dozen
of Nerv soldiers ran in.
***
Gendou and Misato reached the hospital at the same time.
They both ran into the room where Rei was kept.
"Rei!! How is she?" Gendou exclaimed. He ran to her side, and
to the other's surprise, wept. Then he noticed Shinji in Keiichi's arms.
"What happended to him?" Gendou asked in a cold voice.
"His soul went into Rei's mind to pull her out of her coma."
Keiichi replied.
Gendou looked startled for a second, then regained his composure
"I see."
Urd was very good at observing most of the time. And she noticed
how Gendou treated Shinji like dirt days ago. Well, that was what she did
everyday right? Observing Keiichi and Belldandy's relationship and meddled
it.
"No you don't." Urd said. "You have no idea what kind of danger
he is facing. But you won't care if he's dead in front of you anyway."
Gendou opened his mouth to retort, but was cut off by Belldandy.
"Commander Ikari, we would appreciate it if you coorporate with
us, both Rei and Shinji are in mortal danger now."
"I see." Gendou replied and sat on a nearby chair.
Misato took Shinji from Keiichi and set him across the lap.
*Why doesn't Gendou treat Shinji like his son?*
***
*I shouldn't thought of that earlier.* Shinji thought as he
stood in front of a spider-legged rabbit creature. Most people would
call it 'cute' and harmless, but Skuld would just call it 'bug' and
smash it with her hammer.
He walked pass that creature as quietly as possible, trying
not to disturb it.
*Crack* Too bad he stepped on a rotting log. The
bug turned around and jumped onto his head.
"Urgggg!" Shinji pulled the bug off his head, threw it as far
as he could, and ran, with the bug right behind him.
*What is THAT thing?* Shinji thought, *I mustn't run away. I
mustn't run away.* he kept running nevertheless. After five minutes or
so of running, Shinji was dead tired.
*I must stop it somehow, or I would be caught.* He picked up
a rock from the ground with great effort and threw it at the pursuing bug.
*Splash* The bug was too surprised that the wimp it was chasing
had the nerve to attack it, and it couldn't dodge the rock in time. It
disappeared in thin air.
"Yeah!" Shinji exclaimed, then he looked around to see where he
was. He was in some kind of metal field. Everything was metal. Five high
towers were built around a...um.....portal. Before Shinji could react,
hundreds of arrows shot out from each tower.
*Uh oh.* Shinji thought as he ducked behind a transparent....
metal. *Why is everything in here metal? And why are those rabbit things
on top of each tower?* wait a minute. Rabbit thing? Aren't they the same
as the pest he just crushed? They seemed to be controlling those towers,
so if I could somehow get close to them and attack....nah...he would be
like a porcupine before he could reach any of the towers....but if he
could somehow protect himself from the arrows.....he looked at his right,
and saw some thin metal plates lying on the ground. Hmm...those would be
good. He bent one of them so it could protect most of his body, then bent
the other one to a rod for some bug bashing. He ran from his hiding place
and went for the nearest tower, he couldn't make it to the top to bash
that bug though, as one of the arrows cut through the metal plate and
pieced his left leg. Shinji, seeing his life was threatened, ran for the
portal.
He was almost there when another arrow pieced his right arm,
the pain was unbearable, he almost fainted when he jumped into the portal.
Then darkness overcame him.
He woke up to see a computer or something creating the bugs
He picked up the rod that was somehow still in his hands and bashed
it with all his might. The computer exploded into thousand pieces and
disappeared. With the bugs terminal removed, all those traps and nasty
things were gone as well, the sky turned from a hellish red into a
present blue, and the air was more refreshing. He looked around and
saw a door standing there, no room, no walls, just the door. He
opened the door and walked inside, the world exploded in a bright light
and he was in.....uh......his old house? What is going on?
He walked cautiously into his living room, and saw his mother.
*Mom!* Shinji yelled, she ignored him. She was washing the dishes while
Gendou was watching newspaper. They didn't even seem to notice him. Shinji
walked to his mother and tried to touch her, but instead of contacting skin,
his hand went right through as if he were a ghost.
"Shinji! You better wake up now or you would be late for
school!" his mother suddenly called.
Another Shinji was dragged down by Rei. Then his father told
the second Shinji."Don't you feel tired being dragged to school by your
sister every morning?". Somehow Rei looked happier than usual.
The real Shinji was shocked. There were two of me? Mom was
alive? I must be insane! Then Rei noticed him and went completely pale.
"You...you..." she managed out. She looked like she saw a
ghost.
"Rei! What's wrong?" Yui asked.
"I am Shinji, Rei." the real Shinji said. "This is just a dream.
Wake up Rei. Wake up. People are very worried about you."
"No, this is my world."
Shinji sighed, and then said."Look, deep down beneath you you
know that this is not real. Wake up now Rei."
Rei decided for a minute, then she answered 'no' again.
Shinji decided to give up, but then he remembered something.
"I mustn't run away. I can't leave you here Rei. You would
die if your body were separated from your mind for that long."
Rei blinked away the tears that were blinding her eyes. She
knew that this Shinji was right. This was not real. The house and the
people in it slowly turned into stones when she thought of that.
"All right, I would go with you." Rei told Shinji.
***
Shinji woke up finding himself in Misato's arms. It seemed to
be late at night, as everyone was sleeping.
Belldandy stirred and woke up, she saw Shinji sat up and he
was rubbing his eyes.
"Shinji! You're awake! How's Rei?"
Shinji pointed at the now stirring Rei.
"Rei!" Belldandy cried, then she hugged the blue hair girl.
Rei returned the hug. The commotion woke up the everyone else.
"Rei!" Gendou hugged Rei. Shinji noticed how Gendou was like
a happy father hugging a long lost daughter. *May be I can make Rei
happier if I.......*
Everyone waited in line to hug Rei, even Touji and Kensuke....
Um...anyway, Skuld called the doctor in and asked when Rei could go
home. The doctor was surprised that Rei was alive and even more surprised
when she showed no injury at all.
"She can go home tomorrow afternoon after I check on her
tomorrow morning." the doctor said.
***
Rei was ready to go home now. The doctor said she was okay and
that was a miracle. Yet Rei seemed not to be that happy.
"Dad," Shinji called Gendou.
"What?"
"Would you please adopt Rei into our family?"
Gendou was shocked. He looked at Shinji as if he'd grown a
second head. Then he calmed down and looked at his son like a different
person, someone that he could discuss things with and someone he could
love. His son had grown up.
"Of course."
"Can Rei live in Misato's place too?"
"Why are you asking?"
"Rei's apartment is a junk place."
"Ok. She can live in Misato's place from now on." Gendou
replied.
***
"Commander Ikari." Maya said to Gendou.
"Yes?"
"Ritsuko was found yesterday inside a secretive room without
your permission. We put her into the prison."
"What?!?" Gendou said while hurrying to the place where all the
Rei clones were destroyed. He stared at the empty tank. He felt despair,
but then realization hit him. Rei was a human. She didn't need clones for
her
soul. There's only one Ayanami Rei now, and he should be grateful.
***
Shinji, Touji, Kensuke, and Misato were helping Rei moving.
Well, at least they thought they were.
"Rei, which things would you like to move?" Shinji asked.
Rei opened a closet to take out three more sets of school
uniforms. Then she opened a drawer to take out her socks and undergarments.
She put them all into Shinji's hands, who was blushing. Then Rei picked
up the Gendou's glasses and school bag and said that's all she needed to
move.
"What?!? You only have that much stuff?" Misato asked.
Rei blinked, then blinked again. "Yes."
"Uh.....Misato? I think you can carry those." Shinji pointed at
the undergarments.
Misato laughed, then she picked those up from Shinji's hands.
Rei giggled a bit too. Touji and Kensuke were dumbfound.
*Rei giggled?* they thought. *No way!!*
Rei followed the group as they helped her settled in Asuka's
room. Asuka was nowhere to be seen though. They put her clothes along
side with Asuka's and they set a bed for her. Since there were not much
to move anyway, they quickly finished settling Rei in Misato's apartment.
*This is the first day of a new life.* Rei thought as she
was watching TV. The screen shows Wolverine beating the living crap out
of Juggernaut. *I wonder why I used to think this is boring, this is
so cool!* Rei grabbed a bag of popcorns and ate it while wondering why
Evas couldn't equip claws on their hands. They seemed to be VERY effective.
***
"Rei is different from what we planned sir." Fuyutsuki told
Gendou.
"Let her be. Change is good. She deserves to be happy." Gendou
said. He was signing piles of adoption paper.
*Why on earth is he smiling like that?* Fuyutsuki searched in
his mind. *This the the first time I see him smiling like that.*
============================================================================
