Disclaimer and Author's comments: I do not own Neon Genesis Evangelion or Ultraman. They belong to Gainax and Tsuburaya Productions separately. Okay this is not exactly the next chapter to the story, work has been a little too hectic for me to properly get the next chapter going. However I should be able to get things going a lot more faster ..hopefully. Also I want to clear up some things. One reviewer suggested that EVA work against NERV than with them, due to the relationship Shinji has with his father. However, I will NOT be doing that. The reason is that traditionally, the secret identity of an Ultra is usually part of some Para-military task force, and since NERV is such a task force, I am not going to break tradition because of family issues or because someone thinks it should. Shinji just has to deal with it. Well, I guess it s time for the opening song to play. Oh yeah by the way I do not own Take me Higher by V6, though I did change some of the words a little.

Interlude Chapter: Opening Song-Take Me Higher (EVA Version)

(Music starts)
The screen pans out to reveal the full face of EVA. Then in a burst of speed EVA's head moves out of the way, and we see the Eva units in their Eva pens being worked on.

Shizuka ni asayake ga daichi o tsutsundeku

Scene changes to Shinji walking down the street in his school uniform. His eyes are down cast as he is walking. Suddenly he is jumped by Toji and Kensuke.

Itsumo to kawaranu yoake

The three boys begin to laugh and joke around, when they are passed by Asuka and Hikari, at which point Asuka pulls down her eyelid and sticks her tongue at the boys, igniting an angry response from Toji, which Shinji and Kensuke laugh at. At this point Shinji looks behind him and sees Rei a few feet away. A close up of Rei s eyes shows her seeing Shinji as EVA.

Haruka ni tsuzuiteku kurikaeshi no naka de

The scene changes to Eva units having their entry plugs inserted, and then being brought up to the launching catapult.

Bokura wa ima o ikite iru

The scene changes to Shinji inside his cockpit, in his plug suit, lifting his head with a determine look on his face. The scene then changes with EVA rising up with his arms stretched out

Mienai kyou no kaze ni tachi mukatte yuku

Scene changes to a montage of headshots, scenes of locations, and words, starting with Misato, Ritsuko, an orbital image of the Second Impact, text of the Dead Sea Scrolls, NERV head quarters,Kaji, Fuyutsuki, Hyuga, Aoba, Maya, and Adam in his angel form

Itsumademo mamoritai sono hohoemi o

The montage continues with a close up of Unit-00 s face, the Ygdrasil tree, Toji, Kensuke, Hikari, Adam s embryo, Unit-02 holding it s progressive knife, Asuka in her plug s cockpit, Rei behind the moon, and ending with a sketch of Yui Ikari.

Wanna take you baby, take me higher

The scene changes with Ultraman EVA holding his hand out, as if he was grasping something round. A red ball of energy appears a few inches above his hand, which he grasps, as red streams of light appear between his fingers. EVA pulls back his fist, and then delivers his Ultra Impact punch.

Ai o dakishimete ima

The scene changes to Gen and Dan back to back, then suddenly they change to Ultraman Leo and Ultraseven respectively, with the rest of the Ultra Brothers, along with Yullian, Ultra Mother, Ultra Father, and Ultraman King in the background.

Gonna EVA take me, take me higher

The scene changes to EVA with his arm positioned horizontally across his chest with his hand flattened. A stream of light appears from his hand and forms a blade. EVA then rushes to slash with his EVA Sword technique.

Yuuki dakishimete tsuyoku

The scene changes with Gendo sitting at his very spacious office, then changes to an image of the 12 Seele monoliliths, and finally Kaworu casting a shadow that shows a silhouette of the Angels

Wanna take you baby, take me higher

The scene changes with EVA preparing and then firing his Neonium Ray.

Kitto tadori tsukeru sa

The scene changes with Rei, only showing her head and the top of her shoulders(though one can guess that she is naked), when a hand appears and caresses her cheek lovingly, in which Rei blushingly responds with caressing the hand affectionately before the hand pulls itself away.

Gonna EVA take me, take me higher

The scene turns around to see that the owner of the hand is Shinji, which said hand now holds the Ultra Heart. He places the item on his chest, in which a bright light appears and engulfs him. The light dies to show EVA flying upwards with the 9 Ultra Brothers at his sides, flying up with him.

Atsui kodou o shinjite

The scene changes with Shinji standing behind a blue sky, with Rei, Asuka, Misato, Toji, Kensuke, Hikari, Pen-Pen, Fuyutsuki, Hyuga, Aoba, Maya, Kaji, and Ritsuko standing with him. Slightly standing behind is Ultraman EVA with his hands on his hips and slightly looking upwards.

Author's comments:Well there's the opening. The reason I choose the opening to Ultraman Tiga is because according to my reasearch Neon Genesis Evangelion ended around 1996, while Ultraman Tiga premired around that year...I think. Also I have a challenge to anyone who knows how to make a good AMV, I challenge you to make a video based on this chapter. It does not have to be a complete replica of this chapter, but it would be interesting. You won't get a prize, but you will be mentioned in the next chapter.
