Azure Hair, Ruby Eyes
Prologue
"All normal lines are out of order due to the state of special emergency."
Shinji slammed the phone down in disgust, hearing the recorded message
repeat itself.
"I knew I shouldn't have come to this stupid place!"
A strong gust of wind made him avert his eyes, and the boy saw a red-haired
girl standing on the vacant street, looking at him. He blinked, and the girl
was gone. Shrugging, Shinji picked up his backpack and started moving
towards the nearest shelter.
Suddenly, a giant creature started advancing on him, and Shinji cursed the
stupid old woman for summoning him to this God-forsaken city.
Just as he was about to get crushed under the creature's foot, another giant
monster appeared out of nowhere and tackled the first one, saving the boy.
Picking the backpack that he'd dropped, Shinji offered a few choice words
for his legal guardian, Nodoka Ikari, and for all the freaking monsters that
seemed to dwell in Tokyo-3. But most of all, he cursed the stupid Captain...
"Hey there, my boy!" Captain Katsuragi shouted, opening the door of his
convertible for Shinji. "Sorry for taking so long, but I had... previous
obligations."
"Sure you did, old fart," the boy snorted, jumping into the car.
Once they started driving at an insane speed, he hit the decrepit old man
behind the wheel.
"What the hell were you thinking when you sent me this, you pervert?!"
Shinji shouted, taking out a pantyhose out of his backpack and shoving it in
the Captain's face.
"Ah! My silky darling!" Happosai Katsuragi exclaimed, snatching the
undergarment and rubbing it against his face. "I thought I'd lost you
forever!"
Shinji snorted in disgust, but then he saw that no one was driving the car.
Screaming, he lunged for the wheel. The bumpy road made the car swerve at
that instance, and Shinji ended up snatching the pantyhose instead. Without
his favorite plaything, Captain Katsuragi took the wheel again, grumbling.
"If you like pantyhose that much, go and liberate your own!"
"Liberate? You mean... someone wore this before?" Shinji asked in disgust,
throwing it away.
Unfortunately for him, Shinji threw the pantyhose against the wind, and it
ended up in his face a split-second later.
"I know we'll be very good friends, Pantyhose!" Happosai happily announced,
as the car entered through Nerv's security gates. The boy with the pantyhose
wrapped around his head just growled in anger.
Once the car was in the lift, Happosai reached into the back seat of the car
and grabbed one of the sacks that were there. Taking out a frilly panty, he
put it over his head and smiled at Shinji.
"To each, their own... right, Pantyhose?"
--------------------------------------------------
"The pilot's hemorrhaging through the chest plate seams! Heart rate and
blood pressure are dropping!"
Amidst the panicked screams of the technicians, Commander Nodoka Ikari shook
her head sadly.
"It can't be helped. Commence recovery at maximum speed through route 192!"
she ordered, leaning back in her chair.
"I'll go and check the extent of the pilot's injuries," Dr. Akagi said,
walking out of the command center.
Turning towards the closest technician to her, Nodoka commanded Ryoga Ibuki
to reinitialize Unit 01. Afterwards she went over to a special lift and left
the command center as well, leaving the Sub-Commander in charge.
Reaching a small room above Unit 01, she watched through the security
cameras as Captain Katsuragi and the Third Child finally reached the chamber
containing the purple Evangelion along with Dr. Akagi. Happosai had a red
hand imprint on his left cheek.
Nodoka opened the audio pick-up, listening to their conversation.
"But she can't send my dear Ranma-chan out there again!" Happosai
complained, pouting. "Ranma is my only heir!"
"Ranma is also your only student, because nobody else would be in the same
room with you, orders or not!" Dr. Akagi shot back hotly, huffing in
annoyance.
Upset, Captain Katsurgai snuggled a panty to cheer himself up.
"Akane-chan..." he sighed in content.
"WHAT?!" Dr. Akagi shouted, grabbing the undergarment. "How did you...
you... PERVERT!"
Happosai received a matching red mark on the other cheek, as Dr. Akagi held
the lacy pink panty close to her chest.
Nodoka decided to intervene at that moment, and opened the audio link both
ways.
"Hello, Shinji," she greeted the Third Child. "It's been a while."
"It sure has, old hag," he answered, smirking. "So, what do you want from me
now?"
"You will pilot Evangelion Unit 01," Nodoka said calmly, unfazed by his
biting remark.
"Fuck off, granny," Shinji yelled, his grip tightening around the pantyhose
that he was still subconsciously carrying.
"Oh," Nodoka said, blinking. "Well, if that's where you stand..."
Turning towards a nearby monitor, she ordered the First Child to be awakened
and transported over to Unit 01.
"Please, Commander!" Akane shouted, upon hearing the command. "Don't make
Ranma pilot it again! Not so soon!"
Ryoga hid a scowl as he heard his beloved worry over that useless,
replaceable piece of trash, and reinitialized Unit 01 for Ranma's use. Akane
Akagi was about to protest again, when a stretcher was wheeled into the
hangar. An azure-haired albino boy with piercing ruby eyes lay on it,
bandages covering most of his body.
His eyes met with Shinji's ones, and then the pigtailed boy closed them,
mentally preparing himself for the upcoming battle. The Third Angel, having
found Nerv's Headquarters, fired at them, upsetting the stretcher. Ranma
Ayanami landed on the ground in a heap, blood starting to soak his bandages.
Gritting his teeth, he raised his head to look at Nodoka.
"You have to pilot it again, Ranma," she said without a trace of emotion in
her voice. "Our spare is not only unusable, but is also a pervert."
Glancing at Shinji, who still hadn't let go of the pantyhose, Ranma nodded
slightly.
"I understand... mother."
"Excellent," Commander Ikari replied, grinning from under her crossed arms.
Akane rushed over to Ranma, as the latter tried to stand up, only to
collapse on the floor again. They exchanged a few words, too quietly for the
rest to hear, but in the end the Doctor helped Ranma get into the entry
plug. She was desperately trying to hold back her tears, but the pigtailed
boy's face remained impassive throughout the entire exchange.
Happosai cried openly over what he thought to be the imminent death of his
heir, and loudly blew his nose on the pantyhose in Shinji's hand. The boy
finally noticed what he was carrying around, and threw it on the ground in
disgust. A wind that picked up in the chamber, when the massive Evangelion
was moved to the launching pad, blew the undergarment yet again right into
his face.
"Gross," he commented, growling when the offending piece of female clothing
refused to let go.
--------------------------------------------------
"What is the condition of Evangelion Unit 01?" Commander Ikari queried,
looking over the command center.
"Screw that! How's Ranma?" Dr. Akagi asked, throwing a hate-filled gaze at
her.
"Both are... fine," Ryoga Ibuki replied, sounding a tad disappointed. "The
EVA sustained heavy damage, but it's still operational. And its... pilot...
is still alive."
"Was Ranma hurt badly?" Captain Katsuragi asked worriedly, reaching into his
pocket for a spare bra he always kept there for special occasions.
'Not as bad as I'd like,' Ryoga thought gloomily, before putting on a poker
face and describing Ranma's multiple injuries.
His happiness at Ranma's suffering diminished somewhat, when he saw the
pained look on his precious Akane's face.
'That is all Ranma's fault too!' he thought angrily, vowing to avenge the
sweet Doctor Akagi.
Turning towards Shinji, Nodoka smirked and said, "A boy who was near-death
piloted the Evangelion better than you. What a loser you turned out to be...
Pantyhose Taro."
Growling and shouting obscenities, Shinji lunged at the Commander's throat,
only to be intercepted by Happosai.
"Let me go, you old freak!" the boy shouted as he thrashed in the old man's
arms helplessly.
"The Third Child will be staying with you from now on, Captain Katsuragi,"
Nodoka commanded with a smile. 'Serves the bastard right!'
When everyone in the command center looked at her in horror, Commander
Ikari's smile deepened.
'Now they'll think twice before messing with the Supreme Commander of Nerv!'
Nodoka almost burst into a fit of laughter, but reminded herself at the last
moment that she was not in a cartoon.
