Dear God, It's an Angel!
Chapter 1: The New Girl
"Ikari, Dr. Akagi's replacement is here." Fuyutsuki walked into Ganado Ikari's office. The commander had his hands above his mouth, not showing any signs of emotions.
"Bring her in." The cold voice of Commander Ikari said.
Misato was studding the manduke(sp?) report. 'First child, Rei Ayanami. Second child, Asuka Langley Soryu. Third child, Shinji Ikari. Forth child, Toji Suzuhara. Fifth child has been erased.' Her eyes widened as she saw an extra page. She turned to it quickly.
"Defense child, Aki Nariko. A scientist of NERV? But…"Misato dropped into a mummer. "all the angels are destroyed…" She looked at the picture. The shoulder length, light red hair seemed unnatural. It was as if she really had white hair and this picture was taken at dawn or sunset. What unsettled Misato though was the fact she had red eyes, like the 17th angel, like Rei. 'She couldn't be an angel…We destroyed the angels! So, why has NERV taken this girl up as scientist? Are they replacing Ritsuko? But if they are, why? Typical. With just one new girl, a dozen new questions come up.' A soft sigh escaped Misato's lips.
Shinji was looking at the computer screen blankly. 'I killed Kaoru. How does Misato expect me to just sit here and study? Even if it is outside…' Shinji's thoughts were more or less like that. A girl walked up to him and, seeing his vacant expression, sat near him and got a book out and turned to a fresh page. Unknown to Shinji, the girl was drawing a picture of him. It wasn't until she absentmindedly started humming Fly Me to the Moon, did Shinji notice her. He looked over at the girl. In the midday sun, her hair was the lightest red, but not pink. She looked up from what she was doing and saw Shinji looking at her.
"Sorry, did I disturb you?" She asked kindly. Shinji just shook his head, signaling no. She smiled and put her lead pencil down. She quickly got a case of coloured pencils out. Shinji just sat and watched her chose colours; put it on a picture he couldn't see then did the same thing again. She looked up at him every once in a while, as if trying to gain some courage.
"Would you like to see it?" The girl asked. She offered the book to him. Slowly, he took the book from her. The image that met him was a huge surprise to him. It was him!
"If you like it, you can keep it." The girl smiled at Shinji. Shinji looked up at her, and then back down at the picture.
"Thank you." Shinji carefully tore the page out of the book, before looking back at the girl.
"It's nice here, don't you think?" She asked. Shinji looked out onto the water.
"Why?" Shinji asked. All he saw here was the remains of a city. He couldn't see what was nice here.
"It seems so…peaceful." The girl answered. Shinji looked at the water again, through new eyes.
"I suppose it is quite nice." Shinji said. The girl turned back to him.
"I'm Aki Nariko." The girl, now identified, said.
"Shinji Ikari." Shinji replied, his computer forgotten.
"Nice to meet you but I should probably go. I have a sync test soon." Aki stood up and left. Shinji looked back at her.
"Sync test?" He asked himself.
Aki was in her purple plug suit with a white coat over it. She was quickly checking all the data for Eva Unit 02. Maya looked uneasy with her looking at everything. 'How can she do a sync test if she is going to be the head scientist as well?' Maya's thoughts ran around in circles.
"Everything seems normal. Miss Ibuki, can you take over please?" Aki asked. Maya just nodded. Once Aki was out of the room, Maya spoke.
"I don't trust her…" Maya said looking at the closed door.
"Bit hard to judge her just yet. You've only meet her once." Misato said. "But… I don't trust her either. For now, let's just get her sync test over and done with." In a matter of minutes, Aki was in the middle of her sync tests.
"How is she doing?" Misato asked.
"Her sync ratio is 50." Maya answered. Misato smiled.
"You can go now, Aki. The test is over." Misato said. '50 in her first try. It is a little below what I expected…'
Shinji was walking home alone, as usual. With Asuka in the hospital, he didn't really have any one else to walk with. Misato was at NERV doing some work and Shinji didn't want to bother his guardian. 'The reconstruction of Tokyo 3 has started. Maybe Toji and Kensuke will come back.' Shinji thought.
"Hey, Shinji!" Shinji turned at the mention of his name. He smiled as Aki came up to him.
"How are you?" She asked.
"I'm alright." Shinji replied.
"You have a sync test, right?" She asked, trying to make conversation. Shinji nodded, even though he had actually forgotten.
"Well, let's get to NERV headquarters then." Aki smiled and ran forward. Shinji couldn't help but smile and run after her.
"Why are we still doing sync test if all the angels are destroyed?" Maya asked.
"I don't know. Where is Shinji anyway? We were supposed to have started already! And that goes double for Aki!" Misato said, getting rather impatient. The place was calm for a second, before sirens went off. A red alert had been called.
"What the hell is going on?" Misato yelled.
"Something hit our outer defense layer." Makoto said.
"What hit us?" Misato asked, trying to calm her temper.
"We don't know. We couldn't detect it coming." Makoto said. Misato eyes narrowed.
"We need to find out what hit us. Let's see the satellite imagery of area's in a 100 meter radius." Misato ordered. When the satellite image came up, the personnel of NERV were surprised. A large creature was 50 meters south of the geofront(sp?). It was a skiped ball, or looked like one.
"What is it?" Misato asked.
"Blood type green." Maya said.
"What do the MAGI say?" Misato asked.
"The MAGI are withdrawing their judgment." Maya said.
"Send out the defense pilot." Commander Ikari's voice sliced through the panic of Misato.
