It was early in the morning of what was soon
to be a busy day in the life of Alex West, thanks to a special project
of a certain Asuka Langly Sohryu. As the clock at T-hall chimed 8am
there was a knock at the ofuda - decorated door and the camera began to
roll. As the door opened the usual sleepy look on Alex's face turned
to one of pure shock as he screamed, "I forgot that was today!!!" before
slamming the door in Asuka's face.
"Oh, come on Alex," Asuka said, "it's
not that bad. It's just a project for my video class. I chose
to do 'A day in the life of a fellow student' and that fellow student is
you."
"But it's too early to be video taped,"
Alex whined.
"They don't want any preparations made.
It has to be raw." Asuka like the way the word sounded as it rolled
off of her tongue, "Now let me in!!"
"At least give me time to get a shower,"
Alex groaned, opening the door a crack, "And no following me into the men's
room."
"Oh, all right," Asuka sneered, 'Maybe
I can get a juicy shot when he comes out of his room or the men's room.'
As Asuka was filming, one of Alex's neighbors,
Joe, emerged from his room clad only in a pair of boxer shorts. Asuka
turned the camera on Joe for a minute, causing the embarrassed student
to turn around and frantically try to get back into his room before Asuka
video taped too much. Alex took this distracting moment to sprint
into the men's room and hide from Asuka's camera lens.
About half an hour later Alex emerged from
the men's room, naked from the waist up with a dark green towel draped
over his shoulders. From the waist down he wore a pair of baggy black
wind pants and a really worn pair of leather slippers. His rat tail,
which he usually kept braided, hung most of the way down his back, the
red highlights shimmering under the lights and from the water. "Are
you ready to start filming?" he asked a half asleep Asuka.
"Um... yeah," Asuka said, standing up
and starting the camera, "Are you ready this time?"
"Yeah, start filming whenever you're ready,"
Alex said, opening the door and stepping inside. Asuka started the
camera and followed, narrating as she took in the sites of his room.
"... it appears he is into the Spice Girls,
science fiction, anime, and video games," she said into the mic as
she panned around his room, 'This reminds me of Rei's apartment, only
not so barren. But he seems so lonely sometimes.'
As Asuka filmed, Alex underwent his usual
rituals in twisting strands of hair together while still wet before braiding
his rat tail. For this day Alex decided to dress up a little bit
and wore black jeans with his black boots, a black T-shirt, and his white
work shirt over it. To seem really dressed up he even tucked in his
shirt. The duo then left for breakfast, leaving Joe to sprint to
the men's room in his underwear.
When they reached the dining hall, Asuka followed
Alex around with the camera, video taping everything that Alex did, including
get his food. As Alex was getting a low fat raspberry muffin Clair,
one of the women who worked in the dining hall, stepped out and said, "Hey
guy, how are you this morning?"
"Doing fine Clair," Alex said, "how
are you today?"
"Just great honey. Hey, who's your friend?"
she asked, pointing towards Asuka.
"Clair, this is my friend Asuka Langly Sohryu.
She's video taping me for her film class."
"Guten Mornin," Clair said to Asuka
in German.
"Guten Mornin," Asuka replied, smiling at
Clair, 'She's so nice, almost like a mother to all these people that
she serves.'
"Asuka, hurry up," Alex called from
the entrance to the right wing of the dining hall, "or you're going to
miss the breakfast of the average student."
"Wouldn't want to miss that," Asuka
grumbled to herself. "Coming Alex."
Asuka followed Alex into the dining room,
half expecting to see him eating a large stack of pancakes or waffles,
but was surprised when she saw a simple bowl of frosted mini wheat's, a
banana, a low fat raspberry muffin, a glass of orange juice, and a glass
of milk.
"Is that all you're going to eat for breakfast?"
she asked in a disappointed tone of voice.
"This is my usual breakfast, except for when
I eat brunch," Alex said, "I'm not a big eater. Not after what
happened to me freshman year."
"And what was that?"
"I gained weight."
"You're kidding, right? You gained a
little weight and suddenly you eat less. How bad was it?"
"I gained fifteen pounds and most of my jeans
stopped fitting me. When this happened and I realized I had a weight
problem I started eating better and exercising more. When I met Andrew
we would wrestle around a lot and that helped me regain my figure, plus
my agility and balance, not to mention strengthened me. I ended up
losing the fifteen pounds, plus and additional fifteen."
"And your message to freshmen everywhere would
be..." Asuka said, trying to get some sort of positive message into her
video.
"Get up and move around or you may gain the
freshman fifteen. Also, don't pig out on everything you see.... once
or twice a week for the good stuff is enough, but every day is over doing
it."
"And what do you have planned for today?"
Jason Cote asked, approaching the table with a breakfast tray in hand,
"mind if I sit here?"
"Not at all," Alex said, smiling at
Jason.
"Sure," Asuka said, looking up and connecting
gazes with Jason, 'What a hunk!'
"Morning Asuka. What's up with the video
camera?"
"Um... video camera?" Asuka said, forgetting
all about her project.
"That video camera in your hand that's video
taping everything right now."
"Oh, that video camera. I'm taping a
day in the life of Alex West for my video class... a sort of extra credit
project since a lot has been happening lately."
"Cool. So, Alex, what are your plans
for the day?"
"What's today, Monday? I have Brit Lit,
Anthro, and my prose class."
"And what are you doing between classes?"
"I haven't really considered that. Probably
my usual - check email, ICQ, play computer games, watch tv, type, or take
a nap."
"I hope something exciting happens today,"
Rei Ayanami said, entering the dining room with a tray in hand, "may I
sit here?"
"Sure Rei," Jason said, moving over
to make room for Rei, "What do you have planned for today?"
"Studying at the library, a synch test at
some point which Tony promised to transport me to, and some homework to
catch up on."
"That reminds me," Alex said, cupping
his hands before him. The symbol of Saturn appeared on his forehead
and glowed and the glowing orb appeared in his hands. Rei looked
at the orb, a sparkle appearing in her eyes. "This is for you."
"For me?" Rei said, taking the orb into
her hands, "What is it?"
"Ask it what it is. It knows you."
'What are you?' Rei asked the
sphere.
'I am your soul,' the sphere
responded, 'The half of your soul that your possess now is not your
true nature. It is your darker half which you keep locked away.
I am your lighter half - your happiness, your laughter, your sense of fun
and adventure, your joy. You kept me locked away for so long it's
no wonder that I was sucked into Unit 11's core until Alex piloted it and
I was transferred into his mind, where I did some terrible things.
I am your true personality.'
'So I will be whole again?'
'Yes Rei, you will be whole again and I
will be home again.'
Asuka, Alex, and Jason watched as Rei held
the sphere in her hands and stared at it, asking it all sorts of questions.
After a couple minutes of this a point of light formed on Rei's forehead
and the sphere entered. The change was almost immediate. A
familiar laugh was apparent in Rei's eyes, a smile on her face.
"What's everyone looking at?" Rei asked,
noticing the three looks of amazement from her companions, "Do I have something
in my teeth? I do, don't I? Is it spinach? Parsley?
Orange peel?"
"Rei, relax," Alex said, putting his
hand on Rei's shoulder, "there's nothing wrong. It's just nice to
have a you who is more.... light hearted."
"Thanks," Rei said, smiling and giggling,
"hey Asuka, your camera is still running."
"I know that," Asuka said, "Alex, are
you done with breakfast yet?"
"Yeah, I guess I am," Alex said, finishing
the rest of his orange juice, "I'll see guys later."
"Stay frosty," Rei said, waving.
"I'll probably catch you tonight," Jason
said, giving Alex a sort of salute. Alex returned the wave and the
salute before disposing of his tray and heading back to his room.
"What was that all about?" Asuka asked
suspiciously as she walked with Alex back to his room.
"Oh, I made a promise a couple days ago,"
he replied, "And by the way, sorry about the other day. It wasn't
my fault..."
"I know, I know.... you were possessed by
something which caused you to go ballistic."
"To a point, yes. But it wasn't an evil
spirit... it was Rei's soul."
"And I have the transference all on tape,"
Asuka giggled, "Boy, won't my classmates be surprised when they find out
I know someone with real powers."
"You WHAT?!?!" Alex exclaimed, the color
draining from his face, "Please tell me you're kidding. You are kidding.
You must be kidding. You're not kidding, are you?"
"I recorded it all, I think. But don't
worry.... I gotta edit this tape before I hand it in so I could edit that
part out."
Before Alex could say anything else his communicator
beeped. He answered the call in his usual calm manner.
"This is Alex. What's up?"
"Alex, this is Ritsuko. Is Asuka with
you?"
"Yes, she's here Doctor Akagi. What
do you need?"
"We have reports of another angel in your
area. It's another of those crystalline ones you fought the other
day, but its power readings are off the scale."
"What is its current location?" Asuka
asked.
"About twelve miles east of the campus.
Shinji and Touji are on standby. Drew has taken Unit 10 for recon...
we can upload the video feed to your micro computer."
Alex took a small computer about the size
of a gameboy pocket, and of the same shape, from his coat pocket.
He flipped back the gameboy screen to reveal the computer screen.
The smaller screen crackled and the image from Unit 10's camera appeared.
Asuka and Alex looked at the angel and saw that it was of multiple colors,
not just one solid one like the other angels of that type.
"What is that thing?!" Asuka asked,
scrunching up her face in such a way she appeared very unattractive.
"It's definitely an angel," Drew said,
"But it possesses properties of glass and crystal."
"Once more into the fight," Alex remarked,
reaching into his coat pocket for his transformation wand. Once he
had it in hand he held it up to the sky and shouted, "Saturn Nova POWER!!!"
The symbol of Saturn glowed a brilliant violet
and whirled around until the entire area was awash in violet light.
From the light energy rings formed around Alex's wrists, body, legs, and
feet, all eventually shrinking and solidifying into his gauntlets, armor,
pants, and boots. He finished his transformation in the usual battle
stance. He turned to face Asuka, who had the camera trained on him,
the red light of 'RECORD' flashing.
"You didn't do what I think you just did?!"
Warrior Saturn stammered.
"What, tape your transformation sequence?"
Asuka asked, a devilish glimmer in her eye.
"I'll deal with this later," Saturn
said, leaping into the air and phasing between. A couple seconds
later he reappeared near Unit 10, which was in the process of subduing
the angel.
"Drew, pull back," Saturn said, producing
his glaive. Unit 10 moved back and activated its shield. Saturn
then turned to the angel and said, "I don't know what you are or where
you came from, but you're gonna get it!"
Energy flowed into the blade of his glaive,
forming an orb of sorts. Saturn raised the blade above his head and
shouted, "Giga FLARE!!!" An expanding wave of heat struck the angel,
hurling it into the air. The heat wave increased in temperature,
utterly vaporizing the angel, or so he thought. When he turned his
back seven angels of the colors the first was composed of appeared and
surrounded himself and Unit 10. The last thing Alex thought before
initiating combat was, 'I should have stayed in bed this morning!'
"What is the status of Unit 10?" Ritsuko
and Misato asked, each gripping nearby consoles with knuckle - whitening
strength.
"Unit 10 is still active. Warrior Saturn
has erected a force dome which is slowly weakening under the constant barrage
of punches from the angels," Maya reported.
"Where is Asuka and Unit 02?!" Misato
demanded.
"I'm here," Asuka said, her image appearing
on a sub screen. On the other side of the giant screen the image
of Unit 02 rumbling from beneath the university appeared. "What are
the coordinates?"
"Uploading coordinates to Unit 02 core now,"
Makoto said, typing faster than any normal human. After a minute
he announced, "Upload complete. Good luck Asuka."
"Thanks," Asuka said as Unit 02 reached
for the weapon pod on its right shoulder. The pod opened and the
Progressive saber emerged. Unit 02 took the knife in its left hand
and then charged at break neck speed to where Warrior Saturn and Drew in
Unit 10 were holding their own against seven very angry angels.
"ASUKA!!" Alex and Drew exclaimed when
they saw Unit 02 emerge from a cloud of dust.
"About time you got here," Alex said
sarcastically, "what did you have to do this time, powder your nose??"
"Shut up Alex," Asuka snarled as Unit
02 leapt into the air, its progressive blade shining in the sunlight.
As Unit 02 came down Asuka brought the blade down, slashing one of the
angels in half. Unfortunately the angel's two halves formed separate
angels.
"Oh crap," Drew said, "I haven't seen
an angel like this since the ninth or tenth angel."
"Which means we are going to need a LOT of
fire power," Alex said, activating his communicator, "Saturn calling
Warriors Callisto, Orion, Scorpio, Universe, Ganymede, Uranus, Pluto, and
Sun. We require backup. Repeat, we require backup. Coordinates
to follow shortly."
As soon as he cut off the transmission he
reached into his sub space pocket and groped around until he found an odd
stone. He pulled the stone out and took a look at the brilliant shade
of red. As he gazed upon it he felt a new power flow into his body.
'This is like no energy I have ever felt
before in my life,' he thought, 'and yet it seems familiar....
friendly... yet so powerful as to be destructive.'
"Alex, it's time to WAKE UP!!!!" Asuka
bellowed over the communicator when she saw Alex go into a trance.
"I'm awake... just musing over something,"
Alex replied, holding the stone above his head. "Come forth space
pirate and vanquish this evil. Ridley, I summon you from beyond to
do my bidding. Use your Plasma Flare to burn away these angels!!"
The stone glowed a brilliant red, releasing
a beam of light which was aimed into outer space. From the sky a
giant, bird - like dragon creature appeared, back flapping its giant wings
in order to stay airborne. It took one look at the angels and opened
its mouth, energy gathering and forming a small orb. The dragon creature
then spit the orb at the angels, firing an additional beam from its mouth.
When the beam struck the orb it exploded and ignited, burning the angels
with the intensity of a hundred suns. The dragon creature then vanished
in a flash of light and a wave of flames.
"Holy cow!!!" Drew and Asuka exclaimed,
"What WAS that thing!?"
"An esper," Alex said, "That's all I
can say."
From the smoke and dust kicked up from Ridley's
attack came the angels, or rather a super conglomeration of them, for the
creature had multiple arms and heads and legs, yet only one body.
"Crap," Alex gasped, "It didn't work."
"We could have told you that," Andrew
said as Unit 12 phased in. Around Unit 12 the other warriors hovered.
"Looks like it's time to power up the old
Angel armor," Alex said, his armor glowing. The glow expanded
and formed Unit 11. The eyes glowed blood red as the Eva came online.
Unit 11 reached to the weapon pod located on its left shoulder and grasped
the hilt which extended from the pod. From the center of the hilt
a massive energy blade emerged, glowing blue. "It's time to vanquish
this angel!"
Unit 11 lunged at the angel, the progressive
sword above its head. It leapt into the air and slashed downward,
meeting with resistance as the angel set up a multi - helix AT field.
The force exerted by Unit 11 was turned against it, hurling it through
the air and into Unit 12, sending both Evas to the ground.
"Get off of me you moron!" Andrew snarled,
Unit 12 smacking Unit 11 upside the head.
"Don't hit me you bastard!!" Alex shouted,
Unit 11 elbowing Unit 12 in the stomach.
"Dipstick!!" Andrew shouted back as
Unit 12 picked up Unit 11 and hurled it through the air. Unit 11
landed on its feet and produced a progressive spear.
"HALF BREED!!" Alex screamed at the
top of his lungs, Unit 11 charging at Unit 12, the spear before it, set
to skewer the other Eva's body.
"ENOUGH!!!" Derek and Adderson said
as Units 07 and 08 stepped between the warring factions. Alex and
Andrew leapt over the obstruction and collided with enough force to knock
both Evas and their pilots unconscious. Units 11 and 12 went down
for the count. A sweat drop formed on the angel's head.
"This is getting us no where fast,"
Jack said, taking his lava dagger and hurling it at the angel, "Comet Shot!!"
The dagger became engulfed in flames and grew
a tail like a comet. The comet slammed into the angel's midsection
and exploded, destroying half of the new creature. Unfortunately
the creature possessed a regeneration ability and healed itself.
"This is going to be tougher than we expected,"
Asuka said as Unit 02 leapt into the air, brandishing its own progressive
dagger. The dagger met with the multiple AT Field and the energy
was redirected at Unit 02, sending it stumbling into Unit 10's arms.
"We need time to rethink this," Drew
said as Unit 10 helped Unit 02 right itself.
"Two of our strongest fighters are out of
commission at the moment," Dennis said.
"Which is going to suck for us," Jason
said, "Crystal Rain!!"
The rain of diamond sharp crystals struck
the angel and pierced some levels of the AT Field, but hardly scratched
the main objective. Fortunately it bought them enough time to draw
back a little and set up their own multi level AT Field.
"Great timing for Alex and Andrew to fight,"
Asuka sighed.
As she said that Units 11 and 12 dissolved,
leaving Warriors Orion and Saturn standing where the behemoths once lay.
The stared at each other in disgust, crossed their arms, and turned away
from each other with their noses in the air.
"What's wrong THIS time??" Adderson
asked as he dissolved Unit 07.
"Why should I fight with this half breed?"
Alex asked, emphasizing 'half breed'.
"Why should I have to fight with this incompetent
idiot?" Andrew asked, emphasizing 'incompetent'.
"Why do you guys choose NOW to fight like
this?" Dan asked, "We have bigger problems than why the two of you
dislike one another, namely that angel which is now moving towards the
university."
"I'm not budging!"
"Me either!"
"Fine," Derek said, "If that angel destroys
the university it'll be on your heads."
"Whatever, it's not MY problem."
"Mine either."
"They're hopeless," Asuka said as she
video taped their argument, "But this will add some juicy content to my
project."
Just then the angel roared, turned around,
and charged at the group, slamming head long into the AT Fields and knocking
everyone from their feet. The group looked up to see the angel dividing
into the other components. Each separate angel pounded on the force
dome, shattering the outer layers and slowly moving towards the people
protected by the central shield.
"I think now would be a good time for the
two of you to make up," Joss said, "otherwise we're all going to
die."
"I agree," Alex said, "If we don't work
together we're gonna get crushed."
"Not my problem," Andrew said, "I can
create an AT Field and save my ass."
"Listen up you little piece of crap,"
Derek said, grabbing Andrew by the collar of his undershirt and lifting
him from the ground, "Unless you stop thinking about just yourself and
start thinking and caring about everyone else we'll," and Derek used
his free hand to point to everyone else, "hunt you down and shoot you like
the dog you are."
"Um.... all right... I can live with that,"
Andrew said. Derek grinned and dropped Andrew onto his butt.
Andrew regained his feet, drew his sword, and turned towards the angel.
"What's the plan?"
"We haven't had enough time to think of one,"
Drew said, climbing up and getting back into the entry plug of Unit 10.
Asuka followed suit by getting into Unit 02. The two Evas powered
up and stood back to back around the Warriors.
"I have a bit of a plan," Alex said,
forming an energy orb between his hand, "Power beyond the twilight and
crimson blood that flows. Buried in the stream of time, it's where
your power grows. I pledge myself to conquer all the foes who stand,
against the mighty gift bestowed to my unworthy hand. Dragon....
SLAVE!!!"
As Alex finished the chant he hurled his hands
forward, releasing an energy beam which struck the angel in front of him
and destroyed it. The energy beam exploded, forming an expanding
dome which weakened the other angels and shattered their AT Fields.
When the smoke and dust began to clear Warrior Orion leapt into the air,
his own star sword above his head. Energy collected around the blade,
forming an aura of sorts.
"Orion Star Sword SLASH!!!"
The beam of energy which was released from
the blade struck one of the angels and cleaved it in half horizontally.
The two pieces fell to the sides and exploded. Following this attack
Warrior Uranus took his space sword and also leapt into the air, the blade
glowing with energy.
"Space Sword BLASTER!!!"
He slashed downward, releasing an energy blade.
The energy blade flew through the air and cleaved the left arm off of the
angel of the first pass, then cleaved the right arm off of the angel on
the second pass. The energy blade boomeranged back and cleaved the
angel in half around the midsection on the third pass. The angel
went to pieces and detonated, taking out the angel to its immediate left.
The three remaining angels redoubled their efforts to destroy the Evas
and the Warriors.
"This working together thing is really cool,"
Warrior Orion said. At that moment a dark aura formed about him and
evaporated. He stumbled and Warrior Saturn was at his side, giving
him support.
"You all right?" Saturn asked, concern
in his eyes and in his voice.
"Yeah, I'm fine, I think," Orion said,
holding his head, "It feels like the Evas are doing a cabaret in my head,
though."
"Can we have a warm fuzzy moment later on,"
Warrior Pluto said, "Right now we have to finish these angels before they
finish us!"
"Right!" Saturn and Orion said, both
standing, their weapons ready.
"Let's show them the meaning of teamwork,"
Orion said, holding his star sword before his body, "You got any spells
that would work with a sword of light??"
"I think I might have one or two," Saturn
said, "Think we can pull this off?"
"You had better," Warrior Pluto and
Asuka said simultaneously, "Otherwise we're gonna be toast!"
Warrior Orion leapt into the air, his sword
above his head. Saturn formed an orb of white energy between his
hands and began to recite a spell.
"Source of all souls which dwells in the eternal
and the infinite, everlasting flame of gloom, all power hidden deep within
be called forth here and now. Ra TILT!!"
Saturn hurled the orb into the air, striking
the star sword. The strength of the sword increased hundred fold.
As Warrior Orion came down he slashed downward, cleaving one of the angels
in half vertically. He leapt back into the air and hacked the angel
in half horizontally. As the four pieces fell Saturn shouted, "Almechia
Lance!" and formed a javelin of light. He hurled the lance at the
now disintegrating angel, vaporizing it instantly.
At that moment Warrior Orion touched down,
landing in a crouch with his sword before him. He turned to the others
and said, "Two angels remaining. Who wants them??"
"I'll take on one," Warrior Universe
said, drawing his sword, "Gravity Slash!!"
The gravity blade glowed yellow - green as
energy collected around it, forming a ghostly aura. He slashed through
the air, releasing the energy in the form of a gravity shockwave, which
struck one of the angel's in the legs and knocked it onto its butt.
Warrior Callisto went airborne, summoning his crystal spear. He dove
at the ground, plunging the spear into the ground while shouting, "Crystal
SEED!!" Spires of crystal erupted from the ground beneath the angel,
piercing its body and destroying it instantly.
The remaining angel looked at the group of
Warriors and shuddered. Warriors Sun and Scorpio looked to each other
and nodded, drawing their weapons and leaping into the air. Warrior
Sun gathered flame energy around his katana. He screamed, "Prominence
FLARE!!" releasing the energy, which struck the angel and formed a pillar
of super heated flame. Scorpio swung his sword about, star energy
engulfing the blade. He hurled the blade forward and shouted, "Needle
STORM!!" releasing thousands of little needles which pierced the angel's
body and weakened it severely.
"Now for the coup de gras," Asuka and
Drew said, Units 02 and 10 taking guns from the weapon pods mounted on
the right shoulders of the Evas. They looked to each other before
opening fire, destroying the final angel. Once the smoke cleared
everyone gave a cheer. Unit 02 powered down and Asuka leapt from
the entry plug into Saturn's waiting arms. She giggled and turned
the camera on herself and Warrior Saturn.
"We were victorious over the threats to the
university and to the world," she said, "thanks to Units 02 and 10,
and Warriors Universe, Orion, Sun, Scorpio, Saturn, Pluto, Uranus, Ganymede,
and Callisto."
She turned the camera to each person and said,
"Any advice to the viewers."
"Stay in school and get a good education,"
Warrior Scorpio said.
"Live long, have fun, and don't do anything
stupid," Warrior Sun added.
"You can do anything.... if you put your mind
to it, that is," Warrior Saturn said, chuckling.
"Your friends are always looking out for you
and will always be there for you," Warrior Orion added.
"Avoid annoying people at all costs... who
knows, some day they may be your boss," Warrior Pluto said, also
chuckling.
"Party on until the break of dawn, but only
on weekends. Spend the rest of the week studying and stuff."
Warrior Uranus' remark was met with laughter from everyone.
"Life... just do it!" Warrior Ganymede
said.
"All you really need to have a good time is
good friends," Warrior Callisto said, giving a peace sign.
"Make sure to stop and smell the roses,"
Warrior Universe said.
"Take some time to watch a good anime,"
Drew said, smiling.
"And here's my advice," Asuka said,
"No matter what the cost..."
"....Always look out for your friends and they'll
look out for you."
As the tape came to a stop, the lights clicked
on and Asuka's film professor smiled and said, "Well done Miss Sohryu.
I was amazed at the special effects and everything. How ever did
you create those awe inspiring action sequences?"
"You don't believe me that it's real?"
Asuka asked, pouting.
"I'm just saying it's not possible,"
the professor said, shaking his head, "teenagers transforming into super
heroes. Giant robots battling something called angels. I thought
angels were messengers from God, not something that is out to destroy the
world."
"He's making a mockery of me," Asuka
sighed.
"Cheer up," Rei said, putting her hand
on Asuka's shoulder, "We know it really happened."
From behind Asuka and Rei came a resounding
round of applause. They turned around to see all the Warriors and
Sailor Soldiers seated in the theater, plus Shinji, Touji, Misato, Ritsuko,
and Maya.
"Author, author!!" Touji shouted.
"Take a bow Asuka," Rei said.
"Don't mind if I do," Asuka said, bowing
to the audience.
After the screening Alex walked up to Asuka
and asked, "What did you professor give you on your project?"
"He gave me a D because it seemed more fictional
than truthful, but he also gave me an A+ because my film was the first
one that didn't put him to sleep, plus it had 'awe inspiring action sequences'."
"So, what's your next project going to be?"
Jack asked as he caught up with Asuka and Alex.
"I haven't figured it out yet," Asuka
said, a sparkle in her eye. She turned to Jack and asked, "What are
you doing for all of next Wednesday?"
"In our next episode, it's after Christmas
and Alex is busy putting away the decorations when he gets a feeling Adderson
is in trouble. A phone call makes his feeling warranted, for Adderson
got pounded at boot camp. A quick jump between brings him face to
face with a familiar friend and a new breed of angel, which possesses a
green blood type. Stay tuned for 'A Friend in Need' or 'The Real
Power of Friendship' and you're bound to get more fan service
