Gendo’s Need Part 5


Disclaimer: I don’t own this series or any other series. I am just floating an idea. I am making no money, nor plan to, off this venture. If you think of suing me over this, then grow up.

I would like to first personally thank all of those reviewing my stories. I enjoy reading your comments, and try to correct the grammatical errors I miss with my final read-through as well as my spell checkers. The suggestions you all make will help make this story better for everyone to enjoy, as well as allow my to fix some plot holes I may unintentionally leave. If you find any, let me know, and I will correct them and repost the chapters.

[hr]

Ramiel just sighed, well, sighed as much as a giant floating cube could. His first attempt at communicating with the Lilim to get the bastard Gendo Ikari had failed ... to say the least.

Okay, it was a disaster and he pretty much either boiled the Lilim inside the Shadow of Lilith alive, or tore right through it. Either way, it failed.

The second time he had seen the Shadow again, he tried the Morse Code once more ... with severely reduced power.

THE SHADOW EXPLODED! That wasn’t going to go over well. He could already hear his siblings making fun of him.

“What the...” he paused, looking towards where something had impacted him. “Those bastards just tried to shoot me. FULL POWER!”

[hr]

Kensuke Aida slowly crawled out of the ruined tank, slowly pulling out a small cell phone. “So ... am I ... a pilot now?” he asked, coughing slightly.

[hr]

Rei fought the desire to start cursing out loud. Her husband did need his sleep to recover. “I will refer you to the Commander. Good day,” she said, shutting off the phone, still angry that he had survived.

[hr]

“Okay,” said Misato, “it isn’t all bad.”

Ritsuko just stared at her friend. “The damn Angel nearly boiled Shinji alive, damaged the chest of Unit 01, has an almost unbeatable AT shield, and has been taking pot shots at the local buildings while drilling down towards us. How is this not all bad?”

“WAH!” cried Makoto.

“What now?” growled Shigeru.

“THEY CANCELLED MY APPOINTMENT!” he cried.

The others just sighed. “I thought he was getting transferred,” muttered Maya.

“I wish,” growled Shigeru. “Then maybe I wouldn’t have had to spend the last few hours hearing about how he was getting the ‘Long Dong Silver’ special.”

“Can we get back to the matters at hand?” said Ritsuko. “I mean, we did see what this thing’s range was, so I don’t see how we can risk sending a repaired Eva into a close sortie.”

Misato just smiled. “Let’s snipe it.”

Ritsuko just sighed. “Give me the bottle, Misato.”

[hr]

“Wake up, my son.”

Shinji blinked, wondering where he was. The last thing he had remembered was a bright light, some screaming, and a lot of pain. “I thought the light at the end of the tunnel was supposed to be heaven.”

“I see you’re awake.”

Turning slightly, he spotted his father standing on the other side of the room, shaving off his beard. “Didn’t I put you on the list to not be allowed near me?”

“We must prepare to move.”

“Move where?”

“I have found us a new destiny.”

Shinji just sighed. ‘New destiny’ always translated into ‘I started a new cult.’ “What now?”

“I have provided the appropriate clothing for you to change into,” said Gendo, as he stepped behind a changing curtain.

Shinji just shook his head, wondering what new shit he was being dragged into, when he spotted the clothing in question. “A green spandex jumpsuit? What, are you starting an ice skating cult?”

The true horror of the new cult was revealed when Gendo stepped out from behind the curtain. False eyebrows were glued onto his face, the green spandex covered by a flak jacket, and the sleeves covered with warmers. “Yosh, we must prove to the world the power of our Fires of Youth,” he proclaimed in his usual monotone manner. “Come now, Shinji, let us explode in Youth.”

[hr]

“AHHHHHHH!” yelled the Third Child, sitting up rapidly in the medical bed, panting heavily.

“Good morning, my husband.”

“AHHH!” cried Shinji again, hopping back away from the pale hand that had been looking under the sheets of his bed, only to discover his legs were once again handcuffed to the bed. “Rei, what the hell?” Did that ‘People not supposed to visit me in the hospital’ list not mean anything?

“Can a wife not gaze at her husband in his natural splendor?” she asked, making a move to look under the sheet once again.

Shinji quickly tucked the sheet under his legs. “What happened?”

“The Angel nearly killed you before we could begin to become One,” said Rei, slightly miffed at the end of her apparent rights. “Major Katsuragi has implemented a new plan to defeat the Angel.” She decided not to inform him of her attempts to exterminate their classmate. It would either upset him or he wouldn’t care; either way it was best if he didn’t know.

“Yeah ... good luck on that. Where are my clothes?”

“We have been ordered to prepare to move the Evangelion Units to a temporary base to prepare a sniping mission against the Angel.”

Shinji blinked. “We as in you guys, or we as in me and you?”

“The latter, my husband, we are to go off into battle in Lilith’s name.”

Shinji just sighed. They weren’t going to let him leave, were they? “Can you uncuff my legs ... dear?”

“Not until the security detail has arrived to escort us to the Evangelions.”

“Damn.”

[hr]

“Got that laser ready, Rits?” asked Misato.

Ritsuko sighed. “Misato, why did I just get a report about Unit 00 nearly destroying the military base that the positron rifle was stored at?”

Misato just shook her head. “She said she was upset that she wasn’t able to get some alone time with her hubby,” she replied, before smiling. “Apparently, Rei’s the type of girl who you don’t keep from her man.

“You can tell me, Rits; they aren’t really married, are they?”

“How the hell should I know?” growled the head of Project E. “Ask the Commander.”

“You expect me to get anywhere near that nut?” she asked in shock.

“Then ask Rei.”

“After she stomped on those soldiers for ‘delaying her intimate time with her beloved’, I’m not bothering her for anything.”

“Then drop it or ask Shinji,” said Ritsuko.

“Once again, psycho-First Child,” stated Misato.

Ritsuko just waved her off, as she began to dial a number.

“Hello, and welcome to the Survivors of Ikari Cults. Please listen to our options, as they may have changed.

“If you need help in a court case, press ‘1’ now.

“If you are looking into medical exams from the results of being exposed to a cult, press ‘2’.

“If you are looking for a cult support group in your area, please press ‘3’.”

[hr]

Ramiel was starting to get pissed. Okay, maybe he didn’t get that whole Morse Code thing right—nearly blasting through that Shadow of Lilith had been a major glitch. And maybe his other attempts hadn’t ended well either—the downtown area was mow minus twelve skyscrapers and four hills now had good starts for tunnels.

But in his defense, he really felt those shots at him had been really unfair.

So he was going for one last shot at communicating before he left. He was going to drill a hole to where he was sure Gendo was hiding, and send a message down the shaft to see if they would surrender the bastard. Granted, he wasn’t exactly sure what that message would be. But he couldn’t do much worse than he had so far, and he did have plenty of time to try and figure that part out.

Right?

“Hey, what are they doing over there?”

[hr]

“Helga!” cried Asuka, as she entered the Temple of Lilith. “Where’s Kaji?”

“His has been ... disappointing, Mistress,” sighed the huge German woman. “I had such high hopes for him, but he cracked too quickly, his mind was simply too veak to handle Helga’s methods.”

“Well fix him!” Asuka yelled, as she turned around. “We need to escort Unit 02 back to Tokyo-3, and Kaji’s got to be with us.”

Helga sighed, as she turned around, looking at the gibbering male that was lying on the floor in the fetal position. “You’d think seeing Helga topless vould have created a different reaction.”

[hr]

“I said I quit!” yelled Shinji.

“Sorry, Shinji; but the communication systems are still messed up. We still can’t hear you on our end, Shinji, but you can still here us” said Misato through the communications channel. “We still have video though.”

Shinji just growled, as he looked at the handcuffs holding him to the controls for the Evangelion; handcuffs that were conveniently hidden from the view of the video camera. “I really need to get the hell out of here.”

[hr]

“Commander, I must once again protest this!” yelled Misato. “We barely had time to prep the pilots for this mission, let alone this new equipment you had installed in Unit 01’s entry plug.”

Gendo remained motionless on the video feed from inside the main complex of NERV. After all, how could such a simple servant of Lilith understand the need to install electronic handcuffs to keep the pilot from escaping? Perhaps he will become more compliant when the Second Wife arrives. “I am confident that the current level of training of the pilots will allow for a victory in this situation.”

As the screen went dark, showing that the connection had been terminated on his end, Misato leaned back, looking out the door of the command trailer, and at the Units. “Rits, why did we have that shuttle shield, anyway?”

Ritsuko blinked, looking up from some last moment calculations. “Garage sale from the Americans.”

“Really?”

“How the Hell would I know?” Ritsuko yelled back. “Ask Resources where it came from. For all I know, Commander Nutjob bought it because it looked shiny.”

“Actually it’s probably left over from his cult he had in space building a laser.”

“Oh look, Shinji’s audio is back on,” sighed Misato.

“I QUIT!” yelled Shinji. “GET ME OUT OF THIS CRAZY THING! I DEMAND FREEDOM!”

“You can quit after the mission,” said Misato, trying to placate the pilot.

“Right after, as in the minute I put a bullet in this thing’s head?” asked Shinji, hope in his voice.

“We’ll discuss this after the mission,” said Ritsuko.

“Oh look,” said Shinji, his voice sounding fake, “I feel very ill, as if I may pass out.”

Ritsuko simply ignored his fake complaining, lighting up a cigarette. “Better do it soon, I think Big Blue just noticed us here, and I have a feeling he’ll want to chat with you again.”

[hr]

Ramiel blinked. They were going to shoot him? THEY WERE GOING TO SHOOT HIM! “Oh fuck you!” it yelled in its language, as it prepared to fire. It was tired of playing with these Lilim. Couldn’t they understand it had come in peace?

[hr]

Shinji just growled as he made the first shot, wanting it all over.

But his eyes could only grow wide as the two shots collided and veered off. “You’ve got to be kidding me!” he yelled. What were the odds that he was aiming down the barrel of the Angel’s own gun?

“Quick, eject the cartridge!” yelled Ritsuko.

Shinji did, watching as the screen showed how long it would be before the computer could retarget the Angel. Sadly, he also noticed that the Angel had no such problem. “You guys better activate that distraction.”

Silence was the only reply.

“You ... you did develop something to distract the Angel so we’d have the time we needed ... right?”

“Misato?” asked Ritsuko.

“I would have, had someone not taken my morning coffee,” grumbled the Captain.

“Fifty seconds!” yelled Shigeru.

“I wanna die!” yelled Makoto. He was very upset that one of the damaged buildings had been his ‘clinic’, and said clinic had housed his replacement parts.

[hr]

Shinji flipped off the radio. Obviously ... he was on his own.

The beam would likely melt through Rei’s shield soon. Already, thanks to his sync ration, he could feel the heat from the laser. And he didn’t want Rei dead—away from him, that was a given, but not dead. She was a victim of his father like ... well everyone not Gendo Ikari. As such, she was an innocent.

A hot innocent with delusions and some weird power, a faithful follower of his father, and a self proclaimed wife who demanded sex to ‘create a race to inherit the Earth’; but an innocent.

“I know I’m going to regret this,” he sighed into the LCL as he focused along the barrel of the weapon. “It’s my second grade class trip all over again.”

[hr]

“Damn ... you ... Gendo,” gasped the Angel as it died. The drill that had finally popped into the GeoFront stopped.

To the surprise of anyone watching, it popped open, displaying a large banner, stating what the Angel had wanted.

Once again, had it known Japanese, it would have been a start towards ending the war.

[hr]

“Damn it!” he yelled, as he raced towards the damaged entry plug of Rei, its outside slightly melted from the exposure of Unit 00 to the Angel’s weapon.

Grabbing the handles, not even worried about the heat, he yanked as hard as he could, hoping to open the plug and free Rei.

The good news was that he opened the hatch.

The bad news... “MY LOVE!” cried the joyous pale skinned female, sans one plug suit, as she exited the plug at terminal velocity and tackled the Third Child. Rei was not injured in any way, thanks to Shinji’s quick shot.

[hr]

Misato and Ritsuko raced towards the pilots, a medical crew right behind them to help any of them who were hurt.

“For the love of,” grumbled Ritsuko, as she was the first to spy what the amorous First Child as she tried to rip away the Third Child’s plug suit. “Someone get the hose.”

[hr]

“We need to get better locks, Sensei,” said Gendo, as he looked at his console. “They appear to have been released.”

“Perhaps the Evangelion did this?” postulated the Sub Commander.

“... Yui never did like bondage.”

My one thing with this series is that I think you need to move it into its own fic rather than having it as a recurring topic in the Evangelion Omake Files.

I was able to find the last three chapters of this story but where are the first two?
