".......I'll get back with you later......... "
(French Restaurant)
The children are having a chat after the long day of tests, of course having dinner at the same time.
Asuka: Horoshi, you are great. 96% in your first test.
Horoshi: Thanks.
Shinji: Praises from your girlfriend really cheer you up. Haha
Rei: Chayku, why did you chose this restaurant?
Chyaku: well...you want to know the truth or the answer that will make you happy?
Rei: The answer that you will make us happy first.
Chyaku: Well...I Thought the food here is good. And since it is my treat, I can't take you to a bad restaurant.
Asuka: Now, the truth?
Matsuki: Hey, it think I know Chyaku well enough. This restaurant offer 60% discount for all Nerv personnel.
Shinji: That explain it.
Shinji's phone rings.
Shinji: Hello. What? Are you serious? 0600hr? Okay, I'll tell the others.
Horoshi: What is that about?
Shinji: It was Misato. She said that an Angel is detected in the space and it will land at the sea near Tokyo 3 tomorrow at noon. We have to get to Nerv at 6:00am.
Horoshi: That will be my first battle against Angel.
The atmosphere isn't that great now. The news of an expected Angel attack was announced all over the re-built City.
(Later, In Misato's apartment)
Matsuki: Okay, try to get some sleep. Be in the top condition tomorrow. I doubt Misato will come back tonight, but don't try to do anything funny. I repeat, not anything funny.....you know what I mean.
Asuka: Since when you have turned to be our guardian?
Matsuki: Just for your own good.
(Shinji's room)
Shinji laid in the bed, unable to sleep. Rei entred.
Rei: You aren't asleep?
Shinji: Yar. You also can't sleep?
Rei: Guess no one really can.
Shinji sat on his bed. He put his arm around Rei's waist, Rei put her head on Shinji's shoulder. Rei kiss Shinji.
Rei: Shinji, since we can't sleep, make love to me. I really want to know what is it like to do it with one that I love.
Shinji was stunned for awhile, but as soon as he recover, he did what Rei expected him to do. (He is a boy, afterall)
(Horoshi's room)
Asuka and Horoshi held each other in their arms.
Horoshi: The night is so beautiful, but what will happen tomorrow.
Asuka: Let's not think about tomorrow. Horoshi, you want to.....to have sex?
Horoshi jumped away from Asuka.
Horoahi: No! That's out of question. Not at this time.
Asuka: But don't you love me?
Horoshi: Asuka, I swear that I love you from the bottom of my heart, that's the reason why I have to reject you now. Asuka, go back to your room, please.
Asuka: (upset by the reject) Whatever.
She stormed out.
(Chyaku's room)
Chyaku and Matsuki, unlike to other couples, were sitting quite a distance from each other. They chatted for half an hour, when Chyaku went over to kiss her. Matsuki returned the kiss, but pushed Chyaku away, gentle but firm.
Chyaku: I'm just sorry.
Matsuki: I understand the difficulty. I think I better return to my room now.
Chyaku: You better do, otherwise something might happen.
Matsuki exit.
(5:00am)
Matsuki went into the Kitchen and make 6 cups of very concentrated coffee.
Matsuki: (In thought) They will need them.
Chyaku was the next to get out of his room. Horoshi was just minutes behind.
Chyaku: (Kissed Matsuki on the forehead) So thoughtful of you.
Horoshi: (Drinking his coffee) Didn't sleep last night?
Matsuki: Don't think anyone did.
Asuka walked out of her room. She wasn't in the best mood due to what happened between herself and Horoshi.
Horoshi: Good Morning, my gal.
Asuka: Who is your gal?!?! Watch what you say.
Matsuki: I think none of us here did it, my only worries are Shinji and Rei.
Asuka: That two must be sleeping on each other naked now.
Then, Shinji and Rei came out from Shinji's room, looking more tired than others. Horoshi and Chyaku shook their heads in disappointment and worries.
Matsuki: This can't be true, two of our pilots....Come on, Shinji, tell me both of you just had an overnight chat and did nothing else. (She knew it was impossible.)
Asuka: What's wrong, guys?
Horoshi: Good luck..... You will know, Asuka.
Asuka ignored Horoshi.
(6:00. Nerv)
The children arrived. Misato talked to them, who are in their changing cubicles. (Separated by partition and doors, of course)
Misato: Shinji and Rei, you two take position C and T respectively. Horoshi and Asuka, back them up at position L.
Matsuki: Can we have Horoshi and Asuka up front instead?
Misato: Ltn. Rai, who you think you are? My decision is final. Get into the EVAs as soon as ready.
(2nd Announcement room)
A major changed happened: the Magi system have been restored. Matsuki and Chyaku entred.
Makoto: The pilots are ready.
Misato: Launch EVAs.
Chyaku: (whisper to Matsuki) I'm worried.
Matsuki: Just wish for the best of luck.
Chyaku: I've this bad feeling.....
(Battle ground)
The Angel have strong legs and a large muscular body. It have three eyes. EVA-01 raised the New-type rifle (the one which was tested in the last chapter).
Misato: (radio) Stop the Angel. Prevent him from reaching the city is your job.
Shinji: (Finding it very hard to aim) I'll try my best.
Maya: (radio) Shinji, What happened? Your ratio is only at 70%.
Chyaku: (radio) Shinji, forget what happened last night. Concentration is needed to use this weapon.
Shinji's mind was far from concentrated, in fact, it was filled with image of what he did with Rei last night. Still, he tried his first shot....far away from the target. The Angel moved very quickly. It jumped on Rei, who did not manage to react (same reason as Shinji). The Angel pulled EVA-00 arm off.
Shinji: Rei!!
Rei: (a scream).
Shinji fired his rifle again, this time, the shot hit the city. Rei broke free. The Angel jumped on EVA-01 now, but Shinji raised a AT-field to push it away.
(2nd Announcement room)
Maya: Rei's and Shinji's Sync. Ratio are dropping.
Matsuki: Horoshi, Asuka. Attack the Angel from close range.
Misato: You are not in position to give orders.
Matsuki: There isn't time.
Misato: I'll get back with you later.
(Battle Ground)
EVA-14 jumped on the Angel, while EVA-02 tried to tackle it down. The Angel fell to the ground.
(2nd Announcement room)
Aoba: The angel want to self destroy itself.
Chyaku: Asuka!! Progressive ax. Take the chance.
Misato: Narami!! This is not your job.
(Battle Ground)
EVA-02 took out a progressive ax and hacked it across the body of the Angel. It became two Equal half and exploded, taking another part of the city with it.
(2nd Announcement room)
Maya, Makoto, Aoba jumped for joy over the victory.
Misato: Ltn. Nrami, Ltn. Rai, do you know that your actions caused the government lots of money? The incompetence of your weapon cause the destruction of the City. And over-writing my orders is also another offence.
Matsuki: But it was a emergency situation.
Makoto: And Chyaku's weapon was proved to be excellent in the tests.
Misato: You two are excused from your duties as we investigate this. Since the school was just destroyed by your rifle, there will be no school for sometime. During this period, Nerv will arrange you two to be away from Tokyo-3. During your "Holiday", all your expanses will be paid by Nerv.
Ritsuko: But I need Chyaku help.
Misato: This is an order from Nerv 2nd-in-command.
(Later that day, Ritsuko's office)
Chyaku and Ritsuko was the only two person in the room.
Ritsuko: You don't want to leave, do you? You still have things to develop, and our department need an weapon expert like you. You know we can create a fake departure data, so you can stay and continue with your job.
Chyaku: Sorry, Ritsuko. I actually would like to take the leave. I take this as a vocation with Matsuki. She is waiting for me in the entrence now, so if you allow, I'll take my leave.
Ritsuko nodded, realizing that she can't do anything.
(That night. Apartment)
Chyaku and Matsuki put two small suitcases in the living room. The dinner was ready.
Horoshi: Hey! What is that for?
Chyaku: Matsuki and I are going to Hong Kong tomorrow, for vocation. I under-packed because you can almost buy anything in Hong Kong.
Horoshi: Both of you are born in Hong Kong, right?
Matsuki: Yes. And our mothers are buried there.
Shinji: But what about Nerv.
Misato told them about the incident earlier.
Shinji: But it was my fault. I failed to concentrate. I shouldn't have do that last night.
Rei: Don't suspend them, it were Shinji and me that cause it.
Misato: If our best pilot, Ikari Shinji, can't use that weapon, none can use it. Therefore, the weapon is pretty useless.
Shinji: Chyaku, Matsuki, sorry. Kill and wallop me if you want to.
Chyaku: Don't let this bother you too much. Anyway, I'm going for a vacation with my girlfriend for free.
Asuka seemed to have suddenly realized why Horoshi rejected her last night. Asuka stood up and gave Misato a slap on her face.
Asuka: (Slapped Misato) You are too unreasonable, Misato. Far too unreasonable. (To Horoshi) Thanks for what you did last night.
Horoshi was stunned by what Asuka did to Misato. He didn't react to what she said.
(Next day. Airport)
Touji, Kensuke, Horoshi and Asuka come to see Chyaku and Matsuki off.
Chyaku: Where are Shinji and Rei?
Horoshi: They said they are too shameful to come.
Matsuki: Tell them no hard feeling.
Asuka: This is all caused by Misato.
Chyaku: Don't hold offence to her, she is our superior.
Touji and Kensuke: Time to go.
Chyaku and Matsuki walked toward the immigration. Suddenly Misato appeared.
Misato: Wait!!
Chyaku: (turning back) bye.
Misato: Asuka was right, I was out of my mind. Her slap woke me up. I have always been wrong about you. You may stay.
Chyaku: But I think we prefer to have a holiday. We will resume our office in 3 weeks. This is your 1st time talking to us in friendly manner.
Misato nodded and waved goodbye. She watched their plane takes off.
