A/N: Hello everyone. This is my first story, so please tell me how I did. There are some characters I might have trouble imitating perfectly, and a few errors, but overall it shouldn't be too bad. There will be new pilots added, and a few plot twists. Anyways, I'm rambling. Onto the show!

A/A/N: Chapters One through Ten have been somewhat rewritten. It'll do.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Evangelion or anything related to it, etc, etc.

Shortly following Third Impact, everyone who died on that day, as well as anyone who died from around the time the Thirteenth Angel possessed Unit 03, was brought back to life. Even the entire NERV Branch in Nevada destroyed from Unit 04's activation was restored. Unit 01 was found near the remains of Unit 02, and Shinji managed to carry Asuka (Both of them, surprisingly enough, having no injuries) to NERV HQ. SEELE's role in these events was not well liked, to say the least. After the UN realized they were manipulated by SEELE to allow them to initiate Third Impact and the death of countless others in Nerv (Even though everyone who died that day came back to life), the UN declared SEELE internationally wanted criminals.

"So, what's the status of the Evas?" Misato asks two weeks after Third Impact, leaning against the wall in a small room while Ritsuko is typing on computer.

"Well," Ritsuko began, pulling up a window, showing pictures of the Evas. "Eva Unit 02 is heavily damaged, and Units 00 and 03 aren't in much better shape. That is mainly because we didn't have the resources to repair them, and there were other issues at the time to consider."

"What about Unit 01?"

Ritsuko frowns "Oddly enough, it's in perfect condition. No missing limbs, no armor damage, not even scratches. Commander Ikari had it put in cryo-stasis for obvious reasons."

Misato nods gravely "Yeah." What she was told about what happened after she died getting Shinji to his Eva shocked her, almost as much as when she found out she was alive and not dying from blood loss from her bullet wound. According to the Magi which recorded the incident, Unit 01 gained, for lack of a better word, the power of a God. The Human Instrumentality Project was created by SEELE to fuse all souls into a single being. Shinji, however, rejected it and aborted Third Impact.

Misato sighs "What happened to the Eva Series SEELE made anyways?" she asks, "And the Lance of Longinous?"

"Three days after Third Impact, the Eva Series vanished. There were traces of them being moved as well."

"So that means..."

"SEELE likely retrieved them," Ritsuko said, looking annoyed. "What the hell was security doing at that time, anyways..."

Misato merely shrugs. Ritsuko loads some files onto a floppy disk and stands up, walking out of the room and towards the Main Command Center. Misato follows her, "Was the Lance taken along with the Evas?"

Ritsuko shakes her head, "Not likely. It was in orbit of the Earth and SEELE couldn't have retrieved it without us noticing it. It just vanished one week ago, no sign of SEELE doing it either."

When they entered the command center, Maya and Hyuga are talking while Aoba is tuning a guitar, not paying attention to the discussion. Commanders Ikari and Fuyutsuki are absent, however.

"...I still have trouble believing SEELE so easily used the UN to fund their goal of Third Impact." Maya stated sadly, "Didn't anyone in the UN really understand what they were doing?"

"I guess not," Hyuga remarked, leaning back. "But then, wasn't Commander Ikari planning to do the same thing? Oh, hello Major Katsuragi." Hyuga says, noticing Misato and Ritsuko.

"Hello Hyuga." Misato replies, "Hello Lt. Ibuki."

"Hello Doctor Akagi, Major Katsuragi." Maya replies, her voice no longer sad.

Ritsuko looks at Maya. "Maya, what is the status of the Magi?"

"No problems yet, Doctor Akagi." She replies, "The update to its software is almost finished."

"Good." Ritsuko looks at Misato, "What is the status of the children?"

Misato sighs "Luckily, Asuka and Shinji have no physical injuries, same with Toji if he decides to pilot again but..."

"...But there is a chance of psychological damage." Ritsuko said, finishing Misato's report for her.

"Can you blame them?" Maya responds in a soft voice, "What they've been through at their age, it's miracle they are still rational."

"True," Misato replies. "They act almost the same way they did before Third Impact. There are times when they act differently then they usually do, like when Asuka actually apologizes for starting an argument or when Shinji actually stands up to her, rather than apologize for no reason."

"Seriously?" Hyuga looked surprised.

Misato nods. "I'm serious. It's actually refreshing not having them scream and shout at each other for a change."

Ritsuko looks at Maya, "I'll need your help uploading a few files into the Magi after the system update is finish."

"Yes, ma'am." Maya rises to her feet and walks with Ritsuko toward the lower level of room where the Magi is.

"Well, I'd better get back home and check up on them." Misato begins heading toward the door, "Seeya later, Hyuga."

He nods and goes back to his work.

"SEELE won't let this go, you know." Fuyutsuki stated, standing near Commander Ikari's desk.

Gendo merely nods, seated in his chair, browsing through some documents.

Fuyutsuki continues, "Eva Units 00, 02, and 03 are heavily damaged. Unit 01 is intact but it's risky using it until we have determined if there were any effects on it. After all, it was the instrument of Third Impact." He hesitates, "There is also no guarantee that your son will pilot it anymore after all that's happened."

"If you are suggesting we acquire more Evas and Pilots." Gendo responds calmly, his voice somewhat cold, "I have already requested Eva Units 04, 05, and 06, along with two pilots, to be sent here."

"Two pilots?" Fuyutsuki asked, his face slightly confused, "What about a third pilot?"

"There is a potential pilot already in Tokyo-3, and I see no reason to waste resources finding a more suitable pilot elsewhere." Commander Ikari hands three folders with documents to Fuyutsuki, "These three have the best scores, therefore, they will be used."

Fuyutsuki looks through one of the folders and blinks with surprise. "Commander Ikari, was this choice entirely wise? It's true that he can be trusted but... he seems to be over enthusiastic about the Eva Units."

"His scores are satisfactory." Gendo coldly replied.

Fuyutsuki merely nods to this and opens the second folder, "This pilot's score is exceptional for a beginner, but she has a bad experience regarding Eva, Unit 04 in particular."

"Tragedy strengthens resolve." Gendo replies shortly.

"In this case, that saying turned out true." Fuyutsuki closes the folder and opens the last one, his eyes widening "But how-? Is this accurate?"

"Correct."

Fuyutsuki browses through the files, "Its armor design was similar to Unit 03's but it was slightly remodeled and still is being finalized in design." Fuyutsuki frowns, "Why are the details of these two new upgrades which are still being implemented classified?"

"The details are classified for unknown reasons." Gendo responds coldly, "I do not enjoy secrets being kept from me, especially about an Eva that destroyed the entire Nevada Nerv Branch."

"According to this, the pilot and Eva won't be ready for another 6 weeks. Does that mean we will only acquire Units 05 and 06, as well as Unit 06's pilot?"

"Correct."

"I'll give these reports to Doctor Akagi. She will need to make a medical chart for the three of them."

"Only give her the data for the pilots of Unit 05 and 06. It is unnecessary to include the pilot of Unit 04 at this time."

Fuyutsuki nods, "Understood." Fuyutsuki leaves the room, the noise of the door shutting echoing in the silence.

It was around 7:30 P.M. when Misato arrived at her apartment, the sun setting in the distance. She takes the elevator and slowly walks to her door, hearing faint shouting noises as she unlocks and opens the door. "I'm hoooome!" Misato cheerfully announces as she enters the apartment.

"BAKA!" Asuka shouted at Shinji, "I can cook food without your advice!"

"Sorry, but you asked for my advice before you even started cooking." Shinji retorts, "It's not my fault that you didn't listen to me."

As Misato enters the kitchen, she smells something burning. Asuka is standing near the stove while Shinji is standing nearby. The source of their discussion was sitting in the frying pan, completely burnt. 'That explains the burning smell.' Misato thought.

"Excuse me?" Asuka screamed.

"Enough!" Misato's voice annoyed, "Can't you two grow up and act more mature?"

"Says the woman who gets roaring drunk every night." Asuka mutters loud enough for her to hear.

Before Misato can retort to that comment, the phone rings. Misato glares at Asuka, but picks up the phone. "Hello?" Misato says, trying to keep the irritation out of her voice.

"Ah, Misato. Glad you were able to pick up."

"Oh, hi Ritsuko."

"What's wrong, you voice sounds a bit annoyed." Ritsuko sounds a bit amused, "The lovebirds fighting again?"

Misato glances at Asuka and Shinji, who are now cleaning up the burnt food. "Yeah, pretty much. So, what's up, Rits?"

"Well, I was just informed we are getting two new pilots."

"Eh?" Misato sounds surprised, catching Shinji and Asuka's attention. "What do you mean? Who are they?"

"One is from the school, the other is from the U.S."

"What?"

"Don't worry, the pilot can speak Japanese fluently."

"That isn't the issue. What I meant was-" Misato breaks off, noticing Asuka standing near to her, straining to hear what is being said on the phone. "Will you stop eavesdropping?" she demanded.

Asuka mutters something under her breath and goes back to cleaning the kitchen.

Misato sighs. She moves out into the hallway with the phone and out of earshot, "Sorry about that, Rits. The issue was where the Evas are coming from and where the pilots will stay."

"Eva Unit 05 is coming from Canada and Unit 06 from Australia. As for where they will live, one already has a place to stay, and we already have a good idea of where the other will stay."

"Okay, where is the other one staying?"

Misato's jaw dropped as she hears Ritsuko's response. "With you." Ritsuko's voice sounded amused.

"HEY! My apartment is NOT a daycare center! Who's idea-" Misato shouted.

"It's the best we can do under short notice." Ritsuko apologized, "But it shouldn't be an issue. After all, you manage to take care of Shinji and Asuka, despite your bad habits."

"Is that your way of apologizing?" Misato sounds annoyed, "Where will he sleep?"

"She can sleep in Asuka's room for now."

"Oh, it's a female pilot. But I don't think Asuka will like sharing her room with a new pilot."

"Then threaten to have her sleep with Shinji instead." Ritsuko's voice replied, filled with amusement.

Misato chuckles, "Good idea. Anyways, I'd better tell them what to expect."

"I'll send a copy of their profiles to your computer."

"Okay, bye Rits." Misato hangs up. She looks up and notices Shinji and Asuka looking at her. Shinji looked slightly happy but Asuka looked annoyed. "I guess I don't need to tell you about the new pilots."

"What do you mean, sleep here?" Asuka demanded, "There's no way I'm sharing my room with some new girl."

Misato sighs, "Look, either she sleeps with you, or with Shinji." Asuka's face became pale that thought. Misato grins impishly "OR, you could sleep with Shinji instead."

Asuka's and Shinji's faces both turn red. "Hell no!" Asuka shouts.

"Well then, she sleeps in your room." Misato states cheerfully.

Asuka glares at her, walks back to her room, and slams the door shut.

"She actually took that better than I expected her to." Misato mutters to herself.

"Umm, when will the new pilot arrive?" Shinji asks.

"Ritsuko didn't say but it should be in a few days." Misato responds, "Oh, can you cook dinner? Since Asuka's attempt at cooking burnt the food, you'll need to make it."

"Okay, Misato." Shinji heads back into the kitchen.

Misato sits up and looks at her clock. 10:30 P.M. 'I can't get any sleep... I wonder if Ritsuko sent the profiles for the pilots yet.' Misato thought. She turns on her laptop and checks her inbox.

Two new messages.

Misato opened the newest one, named 'Eva Pilot Profiles'

She blinks, reading the name of the Sixth Child. 'Kensuke Aida, Pilot of Eva Unit 05.'

"What is the Commander thinking…" Misato began but noticed his Sync score was in the mid 40's. "Well," she said softly, "I suppose we could do worse... but Asuka won't like this very much."

Misato scrolls down and reads the Seventh Child's profile. "Well…I guess I should know what to expect." she mutters to herself.

Seventh Child

Name: Sarah Elenor

Sex: Female

Age: 15

Nationality: American

Hometown: Albany

Height: 5'9"

Weight: 165 lbs

Sarah was born in Albany, New York one week after Second Impact took place. She was raised by her mother, a former genetic researcher. Her father, who was involved in Project-E, died when Sarah was three years old. Her mother died about one year before Third Impact. She tends to be open and friendly, making many friends as a result. Though at times, she enjoys teasing others and flirting with boys, not being serious in either regard. At first, she had no interest in piloting in Eva. However, a short while after the destruction of the Thirteenth Angel, she strived to pilot Eva. Her Sync scores range in the high 60's/low 70's. Her IQ is 157, she can speak fluent English and Japanese, and she practices a self-defensive form of martial arts.

Misato sighs, "Well, she doesn't seem too bad of a person. Hopefully Asuka won't be rude to her when she shows up." she reads down, "Oh, there's something else."

P.S. "Hi Misato, I decided to check when the new pilot will arrive from America. It's in two days (Or tomorrow, depending on whether you decided to check the message in the morning), so I hope she is a welcome addition to your little family."

Sincerely, Ritsuko Akagi.

'Great, I'll barely have enough time to clean the apartment up.' she thought. 'Oh well, I guess it could be worse. Shinji and Asuka living here made the apartment more livable, so it isn't a train wreck like it was before Shinji moved in...'

Misato remembers her second message and opens it, it is titled 'Eva Data.'

Hello Major Katsuragi,

It took some time and effort, but I managed to look into the new Evas that we will be acquiring.

Eva Unit 05 has camo-green armor with dark brown being the secondary color. It's armor design is similar to Unit 00 but it's head is nearly identical to Unit 03's design. It's pilot, surprisingly enough, is Kensuke Aida. It wouldn't be my first choice, according to the profile I looked at, because of his over enthusiasm. But then, it's not up to me, Commander Ikari selected him, and I'm not crazy enough to argue with him.

Eva Unit 06 has dark blue armor with lavender being the secondary color. It's armor design is similar to a combination of Units 01 and 03, and while its head resembles Unit 02, it has three eyes rather than four and two short horns near the back of the head and point out diagonally. It kind of sounds creepy but the picture of it looks pretty awesome. Anyways, it can also be used in underwater combat if necessary. I couldn't get any info on the pilot but Maya told me after I was done writing this that Doctor Akagi was going to send the pilot data to you later, oh well.

From your friend, Lt. Makoto Hyuga

P.S. I found out why they skipped Unit 04's name. It took time but I found out it is being redesigned in the Nerv Branch in Nevada, in my opinion that's a wise move. After all, its activation wiped the Nerv Branch in Nevada off the map. Also... all data on Unit 04 is completely restricted, I even heard rumors that Commander Ikari doesn't know everything about Unit 04's design. I wonder what they are hiding about it, I can't even get data on it's pilot. Oh, I better get back to work, see you later.

She frowns, 'Why hide something about an Eva from even the Commander of Nerv...' Misato thought. She shakes her head, logs off her computer, and heads back to bed.
