Nobody Dies

Shinji Ikari, child of two of the smarted people on the face of the Earth, hyperventilates in a men's room stall several miles underground as his brain slowly restarts. It has been years since he saw any relatives outside of his uncle and aunt. Of course, they are busy. They are always busy. As it is, he is an afterthought, or so he tells himself, and he still has no idea what in God's name they do. The bag deflates and inflates. His toes curl inside his short boots, his knuckles white around the bag.

Are you dead yet? White sneakers and black socks he can see underneath the teal stall door. They shift from side to side, a small, light knock on the door. Another knock, followed by a sigh and the sound of knuckles cracking. Then the pale fist puts a hole through the door, reaching all the way to her short sleeve.

The hand gropes at the door before finally settling on the lock, turning it to open before retracting. The bag ceases its inflating as Shinji stops breathing, staring in mute horror as Rei places her hands on her knees and bends down, smiling. I can carry you if you'd like. The bag inflates slowly, then slowly sucks back in.

Carefully, he lowers it, finding he is not blinking as much as he should. The purple haired woman glares at Ritsuko as they walk across the catwalk, Akagi rubbing the bridge of her nose as lights come on over the artificial lake. If it were up to me, I would've sent you, Misato. Right now we can hope that Rei hasn't scared him off.

Something is not right with that girl. They both turn to the lit platform at the top of the holding facility, the man silhouetted by the back light. He pushes his amber glasses up his nose as Akagi slides hers back on. Last I checked, Shinji was hyperventilating in a bathroom on floor B At this point, Shinji's color is lighter than Rei's. He walks, half stumbling, onto the catwalk as Misato and Ritsuko turn and stare at the girl, who comes to a stop as Shinji stumbles a few steps more before himself halting.

Rubbing the bridge of her nose, sighing in exasperation, Akagi pushes her glasses back up and gestures to Misato. Shinji, the Fourth Angel will attempt to penetrate the major layers of armor we have surrounding our base in order to initiate an event which will more or less end all sentient life on this planet.

Waits for the laugh track to begin. Walking past them, he turns and stares at the backlit platform.

The spotlights underneath the lake and against the wall fire up. Slowly, he turns, his eyes first wandering onto the massive yellow optics, then expanding out.

His eyes trace along the horn jutting from its nose, the demonic grin covering its face. That is what it looks like, he thinks, like some sort of mythological Oni. Like a demonic mask used to scare children into sleeping. Disengaging from his mother, he wants to the side catwalk, staring at it. With a discharge of steam and rush of air, the visage of the massive cyborg turns to him. A sharp intake of breath and eyes open, darting from side to side as he sits up in the hospital bed.

He coughs, scrambling out of the bed, sprinting on all fours into the white tiled bathroom before jettisoning the contents of the last two days worth of meals into the toilet. Coughing, gagging, he hits the flush control, letting it spin down before he releases the rest. Just to be sure. The voice comes from the room, and he stumbles out, looking down and seeing he's in a hospital gown. Groaning, he looks across the room to find Misato waving, a cheery expression on her face as she leans against the door.

I remember trying to fight the thing…". That's how synchronization works. You have an unusually high synch ratio, so you definitely felt that. The fist goes through the Angel's face, coming out the other side, the Eva grabbing both shoulders and tearing down the middle.

The view of Tokyo-3 shifts.

It becomes wire framed, pulsing, individual shapes appearing in buildings as he nods. Willing it forward, he turns towards a building, the one the Angel slammed his head through. The Eva's arm, the good arm, tears open the building, a convenience store and apartment complex. Growling, he opens the hatch between his legs, pulling the level as the Plug violently jerks back and up. Ignoring the protests, he climbs out, swallowing, hard as he sees he is still at least fifty feet up, despite the Eva being bent down on one knee. Grabbing armor plating, he slowly crawls down the arm, holding on for dear life as he shimmies down the index finger.

Running into the store, he pulls aside rubble, working his way in. Slowly, laboriously, as he hears the shaky breathing as sirens blare in the distance. Before finally coming to the source, the little girl with brown hair, and the half ton slab of concrete and metal on her legs. When we know she'll make it. Give me a couple of hours.
