Sorry, but my last post was cut off without my realizing it. Here's the
full post...


After taking several days off as a break from writing, I'm back once
again to try and finish this series. This is a bit smaller of an update
than usual, but that's because my wrists kinda hurt from snowboarding
yesterday^_^;;;;;;

If you missed previous parts/chapter this series/fanfic, you can find it

Enjoy^_^

  "Fine, what is it?" he asked, becoming serious again.
  "Rather then let the army try and blow up the Angel," Misato said, "You
can fight your way through the convoy escorting the truck carrying the N2
mine and steal it. That way, you can use it to blow up Nerv and Lilith up
with it,"
  Shinji burst out laughing hysterically and said in a sarcastic voice,
"No problem. I'm sure they'll let me do that,"
  "Hey, I didn't say it was going to be easy,"




<new stuff 12/20>




  Shinji didn't like what he was seeing. 
  In the far end of GeoFront, by the exit of the tunnel, he saw a tank.
Waiting a few minutes, he found himself looking at four tanks one on each
corner of what looked like a heavily armored transport truck. Surrounding
the truck and walking along side it, using the tanks as cover, were more
troops than Shinji cared to acknowledge. He lost count somewhere around
forty.
  "You've gotta be kidding me," Shinji said, "How the heck am I supposed
to deal with all that?! Ranma would have trouble dealing with that stuff
and he can shoot ki-blasts!! All I have are a buncha rocks!!"
  He looked at his hands. No, he didn't have a bunch of rocks. He had
only a handful of rocks. A bunch of rocks usually meant at least eight or
more. A handful was less than that.
  He wondered if he had magic rocks. Maybe he could hit one soldier where
it would bounce of that guy and proceed to hit in to another soldiers and
bounce of that guy and in to another one and so on.
  "Yeah, like that would work," Shinji said.
  He was grateful that Misato and Ritsuko and Asuka weren't around. They
were still in the command center. 
  He sighed. He was basically their last and only line of defense from
being taken in. It didn't take a genius for anyone to know that they were
all going to be shot at with extreme prejudice.
  "Damn, I'm in so much trouble," he muttered to himself, knowing that he
was way in over his head. So what if he had this weird ability of
brushing off or at least surviving fatal wounds? It still didn't mean he
would be able to take on an army. He was no Ranma.
  "Man, I need another Angel around to distract 'em," he said aloud,
"With them constantly worrying over an Angel, maybe then, perhaps I might
have a chance,"
  The color drained from Shinji's face as he suddenly realized what he
had just said.
  "Oh no. Oh no. Oh no,"
  He quickly turned around and headed back in to Nerv.

  Shinji entered the command centered, terrified with what he was going
to hear. 
  He ended up accidentally getting shot, the bullet grazing right by his
face, only causing a superficial scratch on his face. It only lasted for
an instant before it healed up completely. The funny thing was that
Shinji didn't even realize he had gotten hurt.
  "Jeez!" Shinji said, "You almost took my head off!"
  "I-I'm really really sorry!" Misato said profusely, "I was panicking
over what's happening. My mind had wandered,"
  Misato didn't even realized she had even shot him, Shinji having healed
so quickly that she didn�t even see the wound before it disappeared.
  "Are you okay?" Asuka asked. She had been next to Misato, supposedly
keeping vigil. She even had a gun but Shinji assumed that it was more for
show, that she would never be able to bring herself to actually fire it
at some human being like Misato seemed to have no problems in doing.
  Shinji nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine,"
  "We've got bad news," Misato said.
  Shinji gulped. He didn't like the sound of that.
  "Ritsuko, Shinji's here," Misato called out.
  "Did you think about another Angel attacking us?" Ritsuko said, her
head popping out of the console panel, "There's an Angel on the way! We
now have two Angels to deal with!"
  Shinji's silence said volumes.
  "You did, didn't you?" Ritsuko said.
  He nodded, "I didn't mean to,"
  Ritsuko climbed out of the console, "Unfortunately, it seems like you
accidentally did and an Angel's on its way,"
  Shinji thought about it for a moment, "Which Angel?"
  "How the heck should we know?" Misato asked.
  "What did you do?" Asuka asked. 
  He held up his hands defensively, "I didn't doing anything. It was
purely by accident,"
  "Whatever the case, we are in serious trouble," Misato said, "We've got
one Angel just outside of Nerv Headquarters, an army on its way, and last
but not least, a second incoming Angel around five minutes out to see and
from reaching here,"
  Shinji sighed, "This is not bad,"
  "Not good?" Misato asked, "The moon falling to Earth is not good. At
least that way, there's a chance the human race can live on. This is
worse than that since there is no way we can stop it from causing Third
Impact,"
  Shinji shook his head, "Maybe, just maybe, there is a chance,"
  "And what plan have you got?" Misato asked, "I ran out of plans long
ago,"
  "We can try and use Unit-00 to self-destruct it and take out both
Angels at once," Shinji commented, "We just hafta wait until the next
Angel is close enough to Nerv and the other Angel so that we can take
them both out,"
  "We can't," Ritsuko said, "Unit-00 is inoperable. It can't even move,"
  "What the heck is wrong with it anyway?" Shinji asked.
  "It's in pieces," Ritsuko said, "Its arms, legs, head and torso are all
separated. After the incident where it went berserk, it was dismantled so
it could be thoroughly checked out to see what made it go berserk,"
  Shinji sighed, "Damn. So I guess my plan of using Unit-00 goes right
out the window,"
  "Maybe not," Misato said, "Mention of Unit-00 self-destructing got me
thinking about something. Perhaps we can't take Unit-00 out and take out
the Angels. However, what's to stop us from self-destructing it within
Nerv,"
  Shinji's eyes widened, "You're right. That's a great idea. We can take
out Nerv and Lilith along with it. Rather than trying to self-destruct
Nerv through reprogramming MAGI, we can just self-destruct Unit-00 within
it. It'll produce the same results,"
  Ritsuko said, "That's not possible,"
  "Argh!" Shinji wanted to cry, "Why not?! Why must everything be so
hard?!"
  "I'm sorry," she said, "If you want me to tell you why not, then I
won't tell you. At least this way, you can still feel a sense of hope
even though hope is just denying yourself reality,"
  Shinji sighed, "Please. Go on. How come it isn't possible?"
  "In order for it to self-destruct, you have to have Unit-00 assembled
completely," she said, 
  "Why is that?" Shinji asked.
  "It's the way the EVAs are built," she answered, "Keep in mind that
Unit-00's self-destruction is meant to be used a defensive
countermeasure, so it could never fall in to the wrong hands. We would
rather destroy the EVAs than to have it stolen from us, which is probably
why MAGI did so with Unit-02, what with the fact that you were,
technically, stealing Unit-02. The point is is that the EVAs weren't
designed to have its self-destruction used as a form of offensive attack
against Angels but rather an defensive one from being stolen,"
  Shinji sighed, "I guess you have a point. Damn, I guess we're back
where we started,"
  "Not really. We've got a second Angel to worry about," Misato said,
"We're far off worse now than before. I hope this is as bad as it could
get,"
  "Looks like the only thing we've got to go by is getting that N2 mine
from the incoming army and using it to destroy Nerv and Lilith along with
it," Ritsuko said.
  "Damn, what the heck am I gonna do?" Shinji said, "I saw what I'm up
against. There are tanks out there. Tanks!"
  "But you're invulnerable to bullets," Misato said.
  Shinji shook his head emphatically, "No! You're wrong. I can and have
gotten hurt. When I get hit, it hurts. Sure, it lasts only a split
second, but it still hurts like I got shot,"
  "But it only last a split second," Misato asked, "Think of it as
getting a quick electric shock or something. You feel it one second, and
then you don�t feel it anymore the next second. Don't let the initial
shock be what scares you from doing what you need to do,"
  "This is getting shot," Shinji said, "not receiving some kinda static
shock in case you're wondering. And this isn't just regular bullets,
these are military bullets. Full metal jackets or whatever they're
called. They're a lot bigger than regular bullets,"
  Everyone was silent. Shinji was in quite a fix. 
  He sighed as he headed out toward the command center exit.
  "Oh man, I can't believe I'm going to be doing this,"

  Shinji didn't managed to sneak ten feet out of Nerv Headquarters before
he was spotted. Because he was branded a as a Nerv traitor, he was easily
recognized fired upon. This forced him to seek cover by the Nerv
entrance.
  As he tried to find out what to do, he looked down at himself and
noticed that there were blood spots on his clothes where there weren't
previously, two blood spots on both legs. This made him realized that he
must have been shot when bullets were sprayed in his particular direction
as he ran for cover.
  He rubbed at his legs but felt no pain.
  "That's strange, I don't even remember being shot," he said.
  He reach down and picked up several rocks that had come off from when
the bullets struck the concrete walls around the entrance. It took him a
minute to find it before he found it, what with the water level being
around knee level.
  He peeked his head out and quickly ducked for cover when he saw a squad
of ten soldier, weapons held in front of them and trained on the entrance
as they slowly headed toward Nerv. Although the army's main priority was
to destroy the Angel lying still in the middle of the falling column of
water seeping in to GeoFront from the ceiling, Shinji was considered a
target of opportunity.
  Shinji threw a few rocks, easily incapacitating a few soldiers.
  He went back to ducking for cover when they opened fire upon his
location once again.
  As he waited for an opening to throw more rocks, he looked down and
caught sight of his leg being shot countless times. Little did he know
that his leg was being targeted the whole time, him having not realized
that his right leg wasn't behind cover all this time.
  He started with wide eyes as he watched his pants being ripped as
bullets seemingly pierced right through the fabric, through his leg, and
out the other side.
  He didn�t even move his leg, his gaze transfixed on what he was seeing.
He didn�t even feel any pain as his leg was being riddled with bullets
and suddenly and miraculously heal.
  When he finally pulled his leg back in and behind cover, he rubbed at
his leg. He felt nothing, no pain whatsoever. Actually, he did feel
something. He felt his own hand rubbing against it but nothing else. 
  His eyes widened as he realized his powers have finally started kicking
in.
  Even though that seemed to be the case, he wasn't taking chances. He
quickly peeks his head out and threw several more rocks, incapacitating
more soldiers. However, when he looked, he noticed several more breaking
formation from the convoy to join their brethren.
  Shinji proceeded to fish around in the water for more pieces of rocks,
smirking slightly, "If they keep doing that, I'll be able to take all of
'em out in no time. Maybe this isn't as hard as I thought it would be,"
  The wall behind Shinji suddenly exploded inward as a tank shell hit it
the entrance. Shinji was blown forward where he slammed in to the wall on
the other side of entrance and fell backwards in to the water.
  He started laughing when the water surrounding him started to splash
violently. It looked as if there were hundred of fish surrounding Shinji
and were splashing water all over the place.
  Shinji looked down wondering what the heck was going on, a bit dazed
about what had happened. He didn't know why that wall blew out from
behind him. 
  The water around him suddenly stopped splashing.
  "Huh?" he asked, still confused as what was going on.
  He stood up. A moment later, the water surrounding him started
splashing about violently once again.
  He looked around and wondered what was causing it. It only took him a
moment to realize he was standing in the middle of the entrance, in full
view of the soldiers. The splashing water had been from the bullets from
all those soldiers shooting at him. They had stopped when they notice he
wasn't moving and stopped. When he stood up, they opened fire again.
  Shinji stood here he was, very confused. He was feeling nothing. He
looked down at his body and noticed tiny wounds opening and closing
instantly. Before long, he realized he was being shot all this time but
wasn't feeling the pain that went along with it.
  "W-wow," he gasped, "I-it's working!"
  He had suspected that it would all be a matter of time before he would
no longer feel any pain, what with the fact that the time of when he felt
pain to when he was fully healed and it gone was growing shorter and
shorter with every passing second. 
  Little did Shinji know that he stopped feeling pain not long after his
fight with Lorenz. Having been killed a few times in that fight, Shinji
came back more powerful than ever. It was as if his powers have kicked in
to basically accommodate its master and make everything easier for him.
Unfortunately, Shinji had no idea that all of this had happened until
now.
  Shinji stood there for almost a good minute, still trying to comprehend
what was going on. It wasn't the attacks that was making him disoriented
but rather what he was seeing. It was similar to someone waking up from a
dream they were positive that was real and in that disoriented state of
mind trying to comprehend what was going on and eventually arriving at
the conclusion that he had been dreaming.
  "M-my powers have started kicking in," he said, things finally starting
to dawn on him.
  He started to smile as he turned his attention toward the soldiers,
ready use his powers to his full advantage. With him not being able to
get hurt, getting his hands on the N2 mine will be easy as cake.
  Before he was able to make a full smile, the wall besides him erupted
as a second tank shell struck the nearby wall. 
  Shinji brought his arms in front of him to shield his face, a
instinctive response, something that would most likely be lost over time
if one possessed the powers Shinji had. 
  He was blown backwards where he landed around thirty feet further
within Nerv.
  The effect of the tank shell was two-fold. It not only disoriented
Shinji and ended up knocking him off his feet from being within such
close proximity to the blast, but it weakened the concrete supporting the
ceiling around the entrance.
  With both walls blown out, the ceiling of the surrounding area caved
downward, massive chucks of concrete and steel beams raining down on
Shinji.
  Shinji was crushed under tons and tons of steel and concrete. Although
actually getting hit in the head by falling debris didn't seem to harm
him, the weight of it seemed to have more of an effect.
  Before he even realized what was going on, he suddenly found himself
pinned to the ground, a massive ten ton slab of rock crushing his chest.
The crushing weight didn't hurt at all. However, the problem was that he
found himself unable to breath for he was completely underwater.
  He immediately began to panic as he tried to lift the weight off his
body. He realized he was in terrible trouble when he was unable to lift
it, the weight just too heavy, heavier than anything he had ever tried to
lift before.
  "H-help!!" he tried to scream, his words unheard due to the seawater.
All that resulted was a loss of much needed air.
  He continued to struggle to free himself but was unable to budge to the
rock pinning him down. Although strong, he was no where near strong
enough to lift that weight. Only someone as strong as Ranma or Ryoga
could possibly lift something so heavy and it would most likely give them
some trouble doing so.
  I'm going to drown, Shinji realized. 
  Shinji's eyes went glassy as seawater flooded in to his lungs. Although
it felt weird, much like LCL was entering his lungs, he realized he could
not breath underwater. 
  He needed help but there was no one around to help him.
  A short distance away just outside the Nerv entrance, the fallen Angel
seemed to come to life as it seemed to gather energy from an unknown
force and will itself back to full health. Little did anyone know, Shinji
especially, that it simply didn't move because it had been recovering
from the damage it had inflicted upon itself from the fall from the
surface. 
  It began to thrash violently, seawater being splashed and earth shifted
as it tried to on the knee-high water level, much like the way a fish
would thrash abount.
  The entire convoy turned its attention on to the Angel as it continued
to thrash and opened fire upon the Angel, shooting it with everything its
got. Explosions exploded all over the exterior of the Angel, the entire
interior of GeoFront lit brightly from those explosions.
  As if on a mission, the Angel proceeded to thrash about and slowly make
its way toward Nerv entrance to save Shinji, all the while its body being
ravaged due to the lack of AT Field and the constantly attacking convoy.
  Snaking its way to Nerv entrance, crushing two tanks in its way under
its massive weight as it did so, the Angel opened its gigantic mouth and
took a bite right in to the entrance. It proceeded to do so, chewing at
the massive structure in an attempt burrow in to the area where Shinji
continued to lay pinned under massive slab of rock so it could get it off
him. It looked similar to the way a little child would go about digging
at an ant hole to reach a lone ant a short distance within that hole.
  Ignoring the attacks, the Angel continued to chomp down on the front
entrance.
  When the Angel finally made it to where Shinji was, a massive chunk of
Nerv had been eaten away. It gently, similar to the way a mother would
handle a baby, the Angel closed its gigantic teeth over the rock slab on
Shinji, not wanting to hurt him as it did so and lifted the rock up off
him.
  Unable to do anything and having already done its part, the Angel
turned its attention toward the convoy still attacking its back all the
time.
  Shinji sat upright, his head breaking through the surface, as he
coughed several times, bringing up a massive quantity of water. His eyes
were glassy and he was seriously disoriented. He had no idea who, what,
or where he was, his survival instincts having taken complete control of
him as his body gasped for air.
  He sat in the water for a good few moment, continuing to cough to rid
his lungs of the seawater. When he realized he was still breathing and
alive, it took him a good minute to come to terms about what had
happened. He was so sure he was going to drown had he not felt the heavy
slab of rock suddenly lifted off him.
  He looked around and tried to gather his surroundings.
  He had no idea where he was. Glancing toward the entrance, he saw
nothing but gray. Little did he know that he was seeing a portion of the
Angel's its side toward him as it went about attacking at the convoy with
its mouth and teeth, trying to bite the tanks in half.
  When he realized that he was by the entrance, Shinji got up to his feet
and looked around, wondering what was going on.
  After a moment, when the Angel scurried away from the entrance to
destroy the last remaining tank, Shinji realized he had been looking at
the side of the Angel up close and personal all this time.
  A thought flashed through his mind.
  "Did that Angel just save me?" he scratched his head.
  He ran toward the entrance, needing to climb over the debris that had
fallen down and looked out toward GeoFront where he found himself looking
at the Angel's back as it seemed to be taking bites as something. He
didn't know what it was at the moment.
  When he heard the sounds of gunfire and suddenly realized that there
had been a convoy just outside Nerv Headquarters and that it was most
likely attacking the Angel as it retaliated.
  He watched in astonishment for several minutes before everything became
quiet, the Angel having destroyed the entire convoy, with nothing but its
bare teeth, having bitten the attacking tanks in half and even eaten the
soldiers that tried to fight back.
  When everything was done and over with, the Angel scooted on its body
to face Shinji.
  Shinji found himself looking face-to-face with the Angel. 
  Now that it had finally recuperated from the massive fall from the
surface, the Angel was healed well enough to do Shinji's bidding. Little
did Shinji know that the Angel had been unable to respond to Shinji all
this time until it had healed up well enough to do so. It not moving or
attack Nerv due to lack of water had nothing to do it. It had all been
because it just waited there all this time to recuperate so it could help
Shinji.
  The Angel waited for Shinji's command.




<all ive got so far....>

Misato: I just noticed something.

Priss: That OneShot can have it where Ranma's illiterate because not once
has he indicated that Ranma could read?

Lina: That OneShot has missed out on a huge characterization of Shinji by
never having Shinji listen to music?

OneShot: Actually, it's because I don't know what kinda music media
Shinji would listen to. It takes place in the future so it'd be weird if
he listens to an MD Players or MP3 Player. Also, SDATs only exists in
Shinji's old world. I don't wanna make a music player up. Okay, I'm
leaving now so you girls can have one of your girl conversations.(Leaves)

Priss: What a whacko.

Misato: Anyway, I just noticed that Ranma's really flexible so there's a
chance that he can suck his own....y'know....be his own best friend.
Maybe that's why he isn't always interested in sex.

Girls: That's not funny.
