Few month ago I created a
story that deals with robots. It is rather nice story and I realized that how
close it is to Neon Genesis Evangelion series. So I decided to mix those two
together and create History Rewritten. Enjoy !
History Rewritten.
“God Damn it!” Touji yelled as he slammed his desk on the table. “Why is this happening to me?!?”
“Relax bro, all you need is another player. Right. I mean the requirement is 5 people for the game.” Said Rei while playing with her short blue hair. “Right Asuka?” she asked to her best friend. Asuka nodded. She had golden yellow hair tied in a pony tail, showing her sweet and innocent personality.
“But where?!?” Touji yelled “Everyone is at least in
one team. I really wanted to join the team you know! Even Hikari joined the
team ‘girl power’!”
“Chill man. You gonna blow up soon.” Said Kensuki
who was worried about his friend.
“Ummmm.
Actually there is another person.”
Everyone turned toward Asuka who said it.
“Who ?”
“His name is Shinji. He just moved here and not a
lot of people knows him. I know him because my teacher asked me to help him for
few days in school. I’ll go call him now.” Asuka said and got up and went to
the nearest phone booth.
RRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGG RRRRRIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGG
The phone rang inside the Ikari residence. Inside
the house there is only one person, who was looking at the picture. His eyes
shows immense pain and coldness. He looks at the ringing phone and picked it
up.
“Hello?”
<Hi. Shinji? It’s me Asuka. You know the one
helped you out in first day in school? >
“Oh. Hello.”
<Hey can you help me? >
“That depends.”
<Me and my friends want to create a team for the
new C.S. game and we are short on one. I was wondering if you can join us. >
“C.S. ? “
<Um. We will explain to you here. Can you please
help us? >
“Okay.”
<Great! Meat me here in Johnny’s Arcade. >
“Alright.”
-CLICK-
Asuka hang up the phone and walked toward the table
where her 3 friends and fellow teams are seated. She moves to her seat and sits
down.
“So.?” Asked Kensuki.
“He is coming here. That’s funny. He doesn’t even
know what the C.S. is.”
“So. How is he like?” Asked Rei getting curious
about the new boy.
“Well he has short black hair, and a brown eye. He
is kinda cold and … You have to see him to understand. Otherwise he is very
friendly.”
Few minute later they heard the chime indicating
that the door is opening. They turned around and saw the boy fitting the
Asuka’s description.
“Hey Shinji over here.” Said Asuka said as she got
up and moved next to him. Hey gang this is Shinji. Shinji that is Kensuki,
Touji and his sister Rei my best friend.”
“Hey.”
“Was sup.”
“Hello.”
“Nice to meet you all.” Said Shinji. “Now about he
help you need.”
“Well all you have to is get into the simulation and
play the game called C.S.” said Touji.
“What is C.S. ?” Shinji asked.
Touji signed. This guy didn’t even know what the
C.S. game is. It is the most famous game around! Kensuki answered him “C.S.
stands for Combat Suit. About years ago team of scientist found a way to
connect the human brain to the computer. Using this technology Gainax created a
simulation game called Combat Suit. Basically you comment humanoid robots with
you brain wave. No controlers needed, although you need to get used to a
little. This game has gotten so famous that it even has a tournament. Even in
the Olympics. And we need at least 5 people to make a team and join the team.”
“Alright I’ll help you guys. Although I really don’t
think I could do it.” Shinji said.
“Cool. Come on. Since we got 5 people we have to
take the entrance test. Come on.” Said Touji as he ran toward the clerk.
*********
Soon, they were all inside their Simulation room.
They sat comfortably with their hand in the two controls. Soon the screen lit
up and showed computer generated surroundings.
Shinji sat down on his own Simulation chair. Soon
one of his screen lit up showing Touji.
“Listen up. This is Entrance exam. If we win this we
can enter the tournament. The objectives of this mission is to destroy the
enemy C.S. units or their base. And we have to defend our base also. We will
get a typical C.S. nicknamed Sparrow. This unit is one of the earlier model and
is extremely weak. But is very agile. The enemy unit is nicknamed Zero. Their armor
is extremely thick and has horde of missiles and guns. So watch out. Now choose
your weapon and let the game begin.” Then the Com went off.
Shinji mentally commended to choose the weapons. He
choose 2 missile launchers that hold 8 heat seeking missiles each on his back,
a 3 barrel machine gun for his right arm and a laser beam for his left hand.
Then he entered the game.
When he entered he already saw his other companion’s
unit. All heavily armed. They were all same. About 50ft. in height and straight
humanoid looking. They all had one eye, and their designs were very simple.
Shinji signed. The only difference was their colors.
^ GAME START^
The screen read as it indicated that the game begun.
<Alright. Shinji you stay here in the base. Since
this is your first time piloting the C.S. you will need some time to adjust and
practice. Just practice here in the safe while we go kick their butt.> Touji
said as he let his C.S. flare it’s booster and flied off. The others did the
same as they followed Touji. Shinji was all alone. Shinji did not practice. He
was already very familiar with the controls. He just looked at the main map and
the way they are headed and said one word.
“Morons.”
*******
Touji loved this game. It is like fighting in real
life except that there is no pain. Best of all he doesn’t need any joysticks.
All he has to is will the computer. Son the movement is all smooth and refined.
He smiled as he willed his computer to slow down and open the commo to the
other C.S.
“Hey. We are about to reach Enemy base.
Slow down and decent. I’m sure they have couple of SAMs. We will land and
proceed with Forest as our cover.” Then he landed his C.S. Soon others
followed.
4 heavily armed C.S. walked toward the
enemy base. It didn’t take a while to get there. When they reached the base
they stopped.
<Hey Bro. Don’t you think this is
too easy? > Asked Rei
“ You are right. The base is too quiet.
I’m sure they have noticed us by now but they are not even firing their defense
system. And where are the enemy Units?”
Then the com to Shinji’s Unit came on
to all Units.
< Hey guys all 5 enemy units are
here in front of our base. I repeat all enemy units are in front of our base.
And if I were you I would get out of there. You just walked right into their
trap. >
<Huh? What? > Asked Kensuki
Touji looked around. That’s when he
noticed all the bombs planted near them. “Shit this is the trap. Everyone get
outta here !” Touji said as he flared his Booster. The others did the same but
they couldn’t get of the ground when all the bomb around them blew up. And the
screen went blank.
“Shit!”
^Unit Destroyed.^
Said the screen as the main hatch of the C.S.
emulator machine opened up. Touji came out, his pride broken. “Damn it!” He
yelled as he punched the emulator. Then a hand came up and touched his
shoulder.
“Come on Touji. Let’s see how the Shinji is doing.”
Said Asuka.
“Why bother. He is the beginner. It’s not that he
can destroy all five enemy units by himself.” Said Touji but he decided to see
him anyway. He turned around and looked at the huge flat screen T.V. that
showed the game being played. It showed Shinji’s C.S. standing along in front
of the base. In front of him 5 enemy units stood with their weapons ready.
The enemy units started to shoot and
the Shinji’s C.S. didn’t even move. The dust cloud started to form around him
and soon he was covered from the view by the dust.
“See. I told you he would loose.” Said
Touji.
“Hey look. That guy ain’t dead yet.”
Some said.
Touji heard the guy and decided to see
what’s happening. The next moment he remembered clearly. 8 heat seeking
missiles flew out from the dust cloud. The missiles destroyed one of the enemy
units. The other units were surprised.
The dust cleared and showed Shinji’s
C.S. showing all it’s glory.
“What? How did he survive?” Touji asked
“Bro. I have no idea.” Said Rei
Shinji’s C.S. jettisoned it left
shoulder missile launcher, since he already emptied. He flared its booster and
headed straight to the closest enemy. In a matter of the second. He had pointed
his gun in front of its face and fired. The head of the enemy unit was
completely destroyed and fell. He used his other missile launcher and launcher
8 more to the enemy unit. The enemy dodged it but got a good hit on the leg and
caused him to fall. Before he could get up Shinji was on him and sliced him in
half with his laser beam sword. Then he saw on of last two remaining unit
taking to air. He flared his booster ad headed straight toward him. Enemy’s
unit was designed to carry heavy load and was not designed for the speed. So
Shinji caught up to him immediately. Slicing him with his laser sword. The
enemy unit blew up in the sky as a fire cracker.
The Unit that took of to air however
was a distraction for Shinji. The other unit was charging up his Positron Rifle
as Shinji was fighting in the air. When Shinji turned in the mid air to face
him, The enemy fired. It went straight toward to Shinji but Shinji moved on the
last moment and dodged. He charged toward the enemy unit flying very low. He
flared his booster to its full power and straight toward the enemy. The enemy
fired again but Shinji again moved on the last moment and dodged it. He took
out his left hand and turned his laser sword on. And straight past the enemy.
While passing he made sure the laser blade went through the units waist. The
result is the enemy unit sliced in half on its waist.
The crowd outside cheered as they
demanded for rerun. And his teammates were overjoyed. They had won the entrance
exam. They are now the team. Of course Touji was mad. He wanted to be the best
C.S. pilot and this newbe came out and bested him. He was really mad. But he
tried to stay calm. After all he had to thank him for letting his team to join
the competition.
Asuka was curious. This new guy Shinji,
who had no experience with the C.S. emulator just beat the heck out of the 5
computer C.S.s How did he do that. And that fighting. It reminded her of
something but couldn’t out a finger into it. She swore that she had seen that
from somewhere.
She noticed that Shinji was getting
out. She looked into his eyes that was staring right back at her. She was
surprised to that coldness he usually showed was gone, and changed into that of
desire or something like as reorganization or hope? or something similar.
Does he desired her ?
Shinji turned around and moved toward
the worker who was calling to him. But before he move she noticed that his eyes
changed back into its usual coldness. But then she also noticed something else.
His eyes also showed his loneliness and
his broken heart.

note-------
So did you enjoy the 1st Chapter. I did
change some stuff, and it may sound strange to you but trust me, it does fit
the original NGE story line. Touji sister in this story IS Rei Ayanami. And
Asuka IS sweet and Innocent style. And Shinji IS cold hearted boy. Cols hearted
in Rei’s way. The truth on why they are like that will be told as you read the
rest of the story. If you don’t like it
then try reading my real story that I didn’t mix with NGE. I might publish it
in few years.
Oh by the way. If you still can’t
believe how did story fits into the NGE time line. Just read the title. You
might get a hint.
