[LIME] **************************************************************************** Shinji and Asuka are standing on the balcony of Professor Misato Katsuragi's apartment. They both stand looking at the gray skies and the gloomy weather forming over Tokyo 3. They stand in their school uniforms with their school bags in hand. Asuka eats a piece of toast as Shinji tries to speak with her. "Um, Asuka...what is going on here?" Shinji asked. "What are you talking about?" Asuka asked. "I thought we had ya know broke up but we're still doing stuff like nothing ever changed." Shinji stepped towards the girl who was hanging over the balcony looking down. "Can you be a bit more clear?" Asuka asked. "Um, I know we haven't exactly been on the best of terms lately but I wanna say something to you-" Shinji began. "What is it?" Asuka interrupted. "I-I'm...I'm..." Shinji began. "Just like I suspected, du baka schwul!" Asuka screamed. "No I'm...pregnant." Shinji said seriously. "Wha?" Asuka looked at him confused. Shinji began laughing at his own joke. "I swear to God, little boys..." Asuka began. "No Asuka, I really, really like you. I think I love you. I would do anything for you. Do you feel the same way about me?" Shinji asked. "I-I think I do." Asuka turned her head. "Oh REALLY! You 'think you do', well then explain to me how this got into the VCR?" Shinji held up a video camera tape. "Ach, I've never seen that in my life." Asuka yelled. "The title says otherwise. "My Baka-Shinji's Premature Ejaculating Vid" I think we all know who was watching this." Shinji smiled. "Oh whatever." Asuka turned around facing back out at the city. "Asuka?" Shinji walked up and wrapped his arms around Asuka. She was quite uncomfortable at first but then relaxed into his 17 year old arms. "Let's not put a stupid title on our relationship, be with me." Shinji asked but it almost seemed like a command. "Gee, do I have a choice?" Asuka asked. "Well unless you'd like to make a messy red mark on that pavement down there..." Shinji began. "Oh baka-Shinji, as if..." Asuka began. Theme Song: "Barbie Girl" by Aqua "E v a L e S s" "As If!!!" Nerv Headquarters: "Where is Dr. Akagi? there is a line for her on #47." Makoto yelled. "She's at the school with the children, who could possibly be on the phone that doesn't know that?" Misato asked. "The Japanese Government." Makoto responded. Makoto turned back to the phone. "Major, they wanna talk to you." Makoto said as he grimmly handed Misato the phone. [Hello?] [Is this Major Katsuragi?] [This is she, may I ask who I am speaking with?] [That is of little to no interest to you] [Well then what exactly would you like?] [We want those files back] [Files, what files?] [The files were sent out an estimate of 2 years ago] [I'm sorry I have no idea what you are talking about] [The files were sent by Dr. Akagi to one Akemi Satsuke] [A-Akemi?] Akemi's Place: [0,028 hours, 43 minutes, 23 seconds] Akemi Satsuke looked at her computer and smiled at the short loading time left. "I think I'll just leave it on, that way I can read it when I get home." Akemi smiled. She walked over to her mirror. She was wearing her school uniform, her trademark clips were not in her hair. The girl happily bushed her long purple hair. She smiled at her self in the mirror and got up to go to school. "I'm ready for school now!" the girl exclaimed. She picked up her hair clips and slid them into her hair. She then felt a turning in her stomach. The girl grabbed her mouth and ran to the bathroom. She hurled disgusting green and yellow bits into the toilet. She crumpled down to the base of the toilet. "Uncle Henry, she called, I think I'm sick." "This early in the morning, you aren't pregnant are you?" Henry jested. 'If that little putz darling got me pregnant, I'll never forgive him.' Akemi thought to herself. "I'll call our school." Akemi's aunt Seyoko called to her. "Don't, I'm the class rep. this year. It'd be pointless." Akemi said weakly as she walked back into her room. She plopped down on her bed and looked over at her open laptop. "Damn, I hope I don't miss anything." Akemi sighed. Asuka and Shinji had been walking together up until they reached the quad area of the school. "Um, Shinji could you leave me for a bit?" Asuka asked. "Why?" Shinji asked her. "Well, its simply that...I have to go into school and well they all know that we broke up a while ago..." Asuka began. Shinji began chuckling to himself, he then began laughing loud and hard. "Shinji, you're drawing attention to us." Asuka tried to quiet him. "You are so funny sometimes Asuka. I thought that by now your fucking friends or your so called friends wouldn't be all that important to you. But you don't change, you don't know how to. All you know is how to be a fucking goddess for all your fucking little friends..." Shinji began. "Shinji I..." Asuka tried to but in. "No, I'm tired of you. I'm getting REALLY tired of you, Shinji said, I don't know what I see in you anyway." Asuka glared up at the now taller boy and smacked him. The sound echoed loud through the quad. It drew the attention of everybody near by. The two teens looked around themselves nervously. "Shinji, I am getting tired of your pathetic invertebrate ways." Asuka yelled. "Well maybe if you didn't want to be so diminutive..." Shinji began. "That's it!" Asuka yelled. "Oh, grow up Asuka, the cute little princess act died in junior high." Shinji shot at her. "I've had it with you." Asuka screeched. "Is it that time of the month for you or what?" Shinji retorted. Asuka gasped at this comment and glared at him. "So yo, what's up? I mean you fucking behind my back or something?" Shinji asked. "Fucking?" Asuka questioned. "Yeah, fucking!" Shinji yelled back. "No, but speaking of sexual intercourse...perhaps you can explain why I keep finding these gray hairs on your boxers when I wash the clothes." Asuka said holding up a small bag with hair samples in it. The crowd of kids around them ohh and ahhed in amazement. "I don't know where that came from, probably from your old smelly- ass..." Shinji began. "No, I do not have overly-developed pubic hair, Asuka hit him hard on the arm, alright, unlike SOME people I know like Kaoru!" Asuka shot back. The crowd around them all shook their heads in agreement and Shinji stood there quietly. Asuka turned away looking at the on-lookers. She smiled and waved at them as she walked into school. "Yeah, I know I'm bad." Asuka smiled as she kept walking. Shinji ran up to catch up to her. She turned around and suddenly felt herself being lifted off the ground and a tongue in her mouth. She latched onto Shinji's hand and walked in the school smiling. "We know who wears he pants in THIS relationship." Asuka smiled. Nerv HQ: Professor Misato Katsuragi is still on the phone with the representative from the Japanese Government. [Look, isn't there something I can do?] [No.] [I can have the Magi checked for records of the files...] [It's to late, you should have been more cooperative. A-799 has just been initiated.] [A-799?] [Yes, power over 'Rokubungi Secondary School' no longer belongs to Nerv.] [What?] [We will retrieve those files, whether by peaceful terms or not.] [Bu-But the, the children] Suzuhara Residence: Yuri Suzuhara is looking at herself in the mirror. She is thinking to herself how things have changed so much. She is now in Rokubungi Secondary School with her big brother Touji. She looks at how her body has gone through changes. She has even started having her 'monthly visitor'. She probably would have never known what to do if not thanks to Hikari. With her being the only female in a house full of men it got sort of confusing of how she was supposed to act. Her grandfather, brother and father were all kind to her and shared in on the house work and cleaning but she never really had a female role model besides Hikari. The uniform was different too. She had been so used to the sailor uniforms of Junior High, these new more feminine ones were a little exposing and left little to the imagination, at least for a girl just entering puberty. She fingers the seams of her dress and goes into the main hall where her brother is standing. "Hey Yuri, ya ready to go?" Touji asked. "Yeah." Yuri tugged on the collar of her shirt. The siblings leave the household together and head for their school. Yuri runs on ahead due to her brothers slow walking and makes it on time, however Touji walks in class late. And to his dismay Professor Ayanami is actually teaching a lesson. "I-I'm sorry." Touji stuttered. "It's not a problem go ahead and sit down." Ritsuko smiled. Touji takes a sit down and relaxes, not paying all that much attention to what his teacher was saying. School seems to roll by normally until lunch time arrives. Touji, Shinji, Kensuke and Aoki sat at their desks eating their lunches as they talked about Rokubungi's latest basketball game. The girls however where doing something far more sinister. "So it was the NEW schwul who ratted us out?" Asuka asked. "That's the latest 411 that I heard." Megumi said. "Well, I think that revenge is in order." Hikari smiled wickedly. "Indeed." Asuka moaned evilly. The three girls walked over to Kou who had his legs crossed and was reading a book. "Can I help you?" Kou looked up at the shadows that had lurked over his book. "Yes fag, so you get a kick outta telling on us, ne?" Asuka glared at him. "Wouldn't it be wise of you not to say something you have no physical evidence on?" Kou asked returning to his reading. "Gee, ALL of you fags say that crap! It's getting on my..." Asuka began but she noticed that a big commotion had begun outside of the school. Asuka and the two other girls walked over to the window to see a barrage of men in all black clothing standing in front of the school. Each man held guns and grenades in their arms. The one in the front appeared to be arguing with Principal Aoba. "Principal Aoba, let us through. You are under no legal status to stand in our way." the head man said. "What do you want?" Aoba asked. "Give us Akemi Satsuke." the man said. "I wouldn't give her to you even if she was here." Shigeru spat back. The man pulled out his gun and stuck it to Shigeru's head. "Listen here you little long haired punk, my job is to retrieve the information sent out to that little bitch. Now tell me where at in the school she is. This could be much worst than it is so far. If you want your entire student body to remain alive I suggest that you cooperate." the man growled. "You have no authority to kill anyone in my position of power, if the govt. found out you killed me it would be your head. Now get the HELL away from my school." Shigeru spat in the mans face. Shigeru turned around and strode back into his school. The commanding officer wiped his hand across his face and smirked. "No problem, we simply go in by force..." the man smiled. Ritsuko's Classroom: "Um, get away from the windows everyone. I'll be back in a moment. I am leaving Hikari in charge in light of Akemi's absence." Ritsuko said as she left the room. 'Damn, shit like this didn't happen when Misato was their teacher. My luck sucks.' Ritsuko thought to herself. Hikari looked around pensively at her fellow classmates. The air had seemed to become stale and no one really knew what to do. "Um, guys you know you can have fun..." Hikari smiled trying to ease the situations tension a bit. "Hey, Megumi come over here." Hikari called. "What is it?" Megumi asked. "Lets do that cheer we made for Aoki." Hikari said. "Why?" Megumi asked. "It'll lighten the mood." Hikari smiled. "Um...okay." Megumi agreed. "Hey guys watch this..." Hikari called from the front of the room. "Who needs plain guys when our fave bishonen can dunk the ball and keep the points rolling!" Hikari and Megumi cheered. Everyone in the class looked at them a bit. "Who's got the team that wins everyday? Rokubungi, Rokubungi, hey, hey, hey!" the girls shouted in unison. A couple of people began to smile. "Come on everybody!" Megumi yelled. "The crowd is live, the bass is pumping Rokubungi girls keep the whole school jumping." the girls cheered. Everyone in the classroom, let out there drab expressions and began laughing and having fun. "Hey Hikari, where did you get your pom-poms from?" Asuka asked as her friend walked towards her. "Asuka, as a cheerleader my pom-poms are practically apart of me. Almost like those video game characters and their weapons that come out of nowhere." Hikari explained. The girls sat down and began laughing. "Hey Hikari, let me borrow you cell phone?" Touji asked. "Where's yours?" Hikari asked. "It didn't have time to charge." Touji grunted. "Here." Hikari handed him the phone. Touji then turned back to Aoki. "Now, what exactly did you need form her?" Touji asked. "I need somebody to escort Kazuya back to Germany. My dad is asking that he come home. Just ask your father and her, my dad'll gladly pay her for her services. It's just that we have that big game coming up and besides he seems nervous when he travels with me." Aoki said. "Um, alright." Touji said as he began dialing Yuri number. [Yeah?] [Yuri? This is you brother.] [Touji! Yeah what is it?] [I need a big favor from you.] [What is it?] [My friends brother is going on a trip, he need someone to escort him. It'll just be this afternoon and you get to leave school early. They're going to pay you too. besides its just for a day so please?] [Sure, did you ask Grandpa and Dad?] [I'll deal with them when they get home, thanks again] [No problem, besides I kinda want to leave here. Did you see the commotion outside] [Yeah I did. That's another reason why I want you to get out of here] [Okay I'll leave now] [Cool, I'll leave the address and instructions how to get to his house on the answering machine] [Cool] [Aoki just said that the tickets are on the kitchen counter when you get to his house] [Alright, I'm leaving now] [I'll call you later] [I'll talk to you when I get off the plane.] [Bye Yuri.] [Bye Touji.] Aoba's office: Ritsuko was sitting at Principal Aoba's office waiting for him. He finally walked in. "What's your problem?" Ritsuko asked. "Excuse me Ms. Ayanami?" Shigeru asked. "Don't pull that B.S. on me. You know I'm your superior. What the hell kinda stunt was that out there? You're dealing with the Japanese government, you don't know what you're doing." Ritsuko yelled. "I think you're just upset because you, as his favorite, didn't get appointed as the principal of his school. Merely the feelings of a jealous woman." Shigeru smirked. Ritsuko slapped him. "Listen here, leave my personal business out of your mouth. I can report you. You've become a loose canon. You are completely detrimental to the Alpha project." Ritsuko said. "Fuck you, without me the Alpha project would have failed years ago. I've kept it running for so long." Shigeru said. "Tell me anything, all I know is that when we get out of here today you will be receiving an official reprimand from Commander Ikari for your foolish handling of this situation." Ritsuko yelled. Suddenly their was a sound of jingling. "What's that?" Ritsuko asked. "Oh my God, they're trying to get into he school!" Shigeru yelled as he ran out of his room. He looked on in horror for the door was already open and he saw nothing outside of the door. "They're in the school." He said quietly. "The children!" Ritsuko yelled. Class 5-A: "LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK!!!" Touji bellowed as he pointed at the door. Kensuke and Shinji looked on in horror as well. The children of the classroom all turned their heads to see the school being flooded with the black clad men. "Oh, my God." Mai gasped. Touji slid over to Hikari's desk. "Hikari, what are you going to do?" Touji asked. "I don't know. I never learned what to do if the school was taking under siege." Hikari whined. "We've got to get everyone out of here." Touji said. "But how?" Hikari asked. "You take some through the windows and I'll take the rest through the halls." "Touji, it isn't safe out there. We don't even know what those guys want. You could get killed." "We all could get killed if we just sit here and do nothing." "Okay." Hikari walked to the front of the room. "Listen up guys, this is not a joke. Our school is being attacked. I need to get everybody out of here. I need you all to follow either me or Touji." Hikari said seriously. "What's going on?" Mai asked. "I don't know. All I know is that those guys are carrying heavy guns and they seem like they know how to use them." Hikari stared at her classmates. "Lets move out." Touji said. The children began getting out of their seats and trying to follow the rules that Hikari had just set. They were all, however, too nervous and scared of what could happen. The children scurried about in the room. "Hikari, how is that jump?" Touji asked. "We're on the 5th floor. It doesn't look to safe." she responded. "Okay a couple of you follow me." Touji said as he inched the door open. He peaked outside to see a kid on the ground in hostage position, on his knees with his hands behind his head, and a guy holding a gun to his head. "Where is Akemi Satsuke?" the man asked. "I don't know her." the boy said. The man took not mercy as he shot the boy and his body flew forward with blood spurting from his head. "Shit." Touji growled to himself. Suzuhara Residence: Yuri is looking over her outfits for the trip. She is happily fingering through her clothes. She picks out some hot and cold outfits. "Wow Germany, Yuri said to herself, this is going so cool!" The girl lifted her petite suitcase. she ran over to the door and put on her sneakers and began to run for the bus stop. Furisawa Residence: A blonde haired man sits on the couch. He is redundantly fidgeting. "Where Aoki?" the man pouts slightly. He brings his knees to his neck and begins to rock himself back and forth. He continues this motion for a while before the doorbell rings. "Aoki?" the man calls. "Um Kazuya, it's Yuri. I'm a friend of Aoki's." Yuri called from the other side of the door. "Aoki said not to open the door for strangers." Kazuya peeped. 'Gee, I though this was his OLDER brother, what's wrong with him?' Yuri asked herself mentally. "Kazuya, trust me." Yuri said plainly. The man was a bit taken back by the sentence. He slowly slid the door open. When Yuri's brown eyes fell upon the blonde man with intense green eyes, her feelings were manifested. "Ka-Ka-Kazuya, I'll be taking you to Germany." Yuri said. Kazuya looked at the girl with a vacant expression. "What's...is...your...name?" Kazuya asked. "I'm Suzuhara, Yuri Suzuhara." "Suzuhara?" Kazuya asked. "Yeah, but you can call me..." Yuri began. "Suzuhara." Kazuya smiled. "Yes." Yuri said unsure. "Suzuhara." Kazuya smiled again. "Umm-okay, Yuri said, are you all packed up?" "All packed up. All packed up." Kazuya smiled. 'He's got big hands but he acts like a little boy.' Yuri thought. "Let me see your things. I'll make sure you have everything that Touji said Aoki said you were supposed to have." Yuri smiled. Yuri began checking through Kazuya's stuff. Rokubungi Secondary School: The once happy school home of many simple things such as school dances and school seductions has now become battlefield. Bodies of dead students and teachers align the hallways. Papers are flung about outside of desks and scattered about. All computer disks have been confiscated by the men running through the schools. Soren Rasted peaked down the empty hall and saw it as a perfect time to make his break. He ran from clasroom 4-A which was completely void of life. He ran into room 5-A. "Rasted-sensai?" Hikari gasped. "Their are only two open doors in this school. I was able to get some of my class out through them, the others..., the man trailed off, we need to get you all out of here. This seems to be on of the few classrooms that have not yet been looked in." Rasted explained. "Why not?" Touji asked. "I don't know and that is actually pretty odd considering this is Akemi's class. Is she here?" the blonde man asked as he removed his dress shirt and tie leaving him self in a navy blue tank-top and black dress pants. "No, she's not." Hikari said. "Good, I'm almost sure they know what she looks like. Okay, I'll take 5 of you at a time. in a room full of 25 children, that'll only be 5 trips." he explained. Furisawa Residence: Yuri was holding onto Kazuya's hand and his and her bags as she walked along towards the bus stop. The man was playing around in her grasp and poiting at things as they walked. "Suzuhara?" "Yes Kazuya." "My dad loves me and so does Aoki and my mother. Do you?" "Huh?" "Love me?" The girl looked up into the mans innocent awaiting green eyes. "Yeah, I do." she answered. The man leaned down and kissed her on her cheek. "Guess what else." Kazuya exclaimed. "What?" "My dad can't die. He'll live forever." Yuri looked at the man completely confused as the bus came. Rokubungi Secondary School: Soren Rasted is standing in front of a door with Kou and 4 other students. "Come on ass and elbows, people!" Soren exclaimed as the children ran through the door. The children began to back up back into the school as three men with automatic guns held them to their heads. "Where do you 6 think you're going?" one of the men asked. "Let these children go, they know nothing of what is going on here. Why should they be forced to suffer for sins they know not of?" Soren yelled. "You talk to much." one man spat and then fired a bullet through Soren's head. The blonde man's eyes rolled back into his head as he fell back. The children who were with him screamed in horror. "Shut-up kids. Now I'm going to ask once and only once...where is the girl Akemi Satsuke?" "She is not here, it is pointless to continue looking for her." Kou shot out. "You got a mouth on you kid." one man growled. "Yeah and what? I mean puh-lease, are you gonna shoot me or something?" Kou smirked. The men proceeded to shoot each of the 4 children except Kou in the head. Kou looked around terrified. "You got 10 seconds to run." "What?" Kou asked. "7-6-5..." the man counted. Kou leaped away and began running for the classroom. He ran up to the door and was getting ready to open it when the bullets rung through his chest and abdomen. The blood spurted against the blurry door window. Megumi screamed from inside as she saw Kou's form slowly fall to the floor. Their were only ten students left in the classroom. Hikari, Touji, Asuka, Shinji, Rei, Aoki, Megumi, Mai, Kensuke and another child that the group had never really associated with. "Okay, so what do we do?" Shinji asked. "We make a complete run for it." Hikari said. "Isn't that dangerous?" Aoki asked. "It's either we all run away in a pack and risk some of us dying or we remain here and all die for sure." Hikari said. "You guys ready?" Touji asked as he peeked through the cracked door. "Let's do it..." Aoki whispered. The ten children linked hands and began their run out of the classroom. Touji took the liberty to be the one at the end of the human chain. He began running quicker as he saw the explosion begin to be set off. "Mein gott, they're going to destroy the entire school with those bombs!" Asuka yelled. The children leaped down the flight of stairs searching for the open exit. Then it happened, they came upon the exit, just not the one they wanted. In front of them stood 6 men clad in black with their guns pointed at the children offering them an 'exit' from life. The men held their guns up as the children stared at them. "Where is Akemi Satsuke?" the man asked. "What" Kensuke gasped. "We'll only ask you one more time, where is..." The man began but was cut off. Touji flung his body at the man tackling him to the ground. Another of the soldiers was about to shoot Touji when Kensuke knocked the gun from his hand. One soldier made a swift move and grabbed Megumi and put the gun to her temple. "Now get off of him and give me Akemi Satsuke or all the girls here get it." the man growled. "Aoki..." Megumi gasped. Aoki lunged forward for the man holding his girlfriend. He punched the guy to the side knocking Megumi from his grasp. The man than rang out his shot and Aoki fell back. Aoki lay there quietly...he then flung his body around and tripped two of the soldiers. He and Touji began beating the men with their guns until they were bludgeoned to a point where they could seemingly do no harm. The two boys dropped the guns and began moving their friends out of the way of the carnage. "See you shits in hell..." one man groaned as he bit the pin off of a grenade and spit it to the side. Mai looked back when she heard the pin drop. At that moment everything was in slow motion. Mai looked back at her exiting friends and then back at the steaming grenade. She then was horrified to see one of the men leap up and begin firing shots. Her head darted to the side to see who the bullet was flying for and with much accord and only the purest of intentions, Mai flung herself in the way of the darting bullets. "Aaaaaaaaarggggghhhh, Aaaaaaaaaassuukkaaaa." Mai screamed in agony. Asuka shot around to see the girl using herself as a human shield to protect Asuka. "Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaai!!!!!!" Asuka screeched. The mans bullets began to fire precariously now, they hit boy in his left cheek. One grazed against Kensuke's leg and one hit Touji in his left leg. Shinji used his own body as a shield to protect Asuka and Hikari as Aoki did the same for Megumi and Rei. Suddenly the whole hallway blew up due to the grenade that had been hissing. The debris came flying as al the children ran. All but Rei. She stood there and let the debris fly towards her, but their effect was non-existent on the girl. It impacted against an unseen aegis that took the impact as if nothing was happening. None of the children noticed Rei missing but none of them spotted Kaoru near the exit that they had found. "Maybe, he got out earlier." Asuka suggested. "I'm going back for him." Kensuke said. "I'll go with you." Aoki said as he and Kensuke ran back into the school. "Aokiko." Megumi said stifling tears. The school suddenly began to burst into massive flames and explosions against the night air and stars. The children had been in the school all day fighting for their very lives. "Ken!" Hikari cried out. "Aokiiiiiii." Megumi slumped to the ground as she began to cry. "Asuka?" Shinji asked as he looked at the girl looking wide-eyed at the fallen school. "Mai." she whispered. As the children were treated around the scene of the fallen school their emotions and sanity had run high. Soon Professor Katsuragi pulled up in her car. "Hop in, its been a long day for all of you." Misato said as the remaining children dazedly walked into the car. 'It's almost like they're not even alive, they're eyes look like zombies. But, that is what they are.' Misato thought to herself. Hikari had been tending to Touji wounds when she noticed the bullet logged in his left leg. The boy then looked down at it. He pulled the bullet out of his leg. Nothing happened, he hadn't even felt it in there let alone feel it come out and there was not races of any crimson. "No blood. What the hell is going on here?" Touji growled to himself. He picks up the phone and calls his sister. [Yuri?] [Oh hi Touji, I was getting worried about you, you hadn't called or anything. So how did Grandfather and Dad take the news of me going away...] [Stay in Germany.] [What?] The girl was only answered by the hanging up of a phone. She headed her brothers words due to the deathly serious tone he had taken with her. The children and Misato finally arrived at her home.
