Chapter 15

Title: Soul Sisters II - The Awakening

[Author's notes: I live, again.]

When seconds pass like minutes, minutes like hours, and hours like days.


You’re life has a set time…

                                       …But death is time eternity.



“Unit 88...” A voice whispered in the darkness.

“Unit 88 please wake up.” The voice suddenly asked as Asuka stirred. Asuka\\\\\\\'s thoughts flowed groggily as she became aware of a dim light on her closed eyes.

“Wake up! that’s an order soldier!” The voice demanded as Asuka’s eyes jetted open. A swirl of white smoke and hazy blue overtones surrounded the red head as a figure stood a few feet away.

“Report, what happened at Ziony 5.” The figure started to clear in Asuka’s eyes as a young girl’s naked face and body filled in shapely and slim.

“Don’t stare, I asked you a question.” The girl frowned as she crossed her arms. Asuka shook her head in confusion as she couldn’t honestly remember what the girl was talking about.

“I-I don’t remember.” Asuka admitted as she lifted her hand and paused. Her hand started to tremble and shake as she lifted her other hand.

“M-My h-hands?!? They, what is THIS!!!” Asuka roared viciously as she looked back up at the girl.

“Your fine, let me explai…” The girl began to speak as Asuka cut her off rudely.

“No, you’re a dream! I’m asleep right now, this is’in real!” Asuka didn’t know why but large gaps begin to form in her memory as the line of reality started to blur.

“Calm down, your going to…” The figure tried again.

“Shut up stop telling me… what to DO!!!” Asuka shrieked as pain struck throughout her “body”.

In a operating theater behind a triple reinforce plex-steel glass window stood the head librarian Ritsuko Akagi with a number of assistants manning multiple computers. The group watched a large robotic machine known as a dreadnought start to rock and convulse violently.

“Unit 88 is redlining, she’s losing it!” Reported a male assistant as his computer flashed a crimson red.

“Switch full ballast to Rei now, and reduce Unit 88’s energy output to 25%, I jus’ want her barely conscious.” Ritsuko ordered coolly as she looked to the slim android plugged in next to the dreadnought.

“I don’t know what your doing in there Rei, but you better not lose this one.”

Ritsuko pondered as she swiftly worked a keyboard blindly in front of her.

“Rei” watched the red head’s voice and body give, head slumped as her arms raised, forming a T out of her body. Rei sighed lowly as she walked slowly to the silent girl.

“As I was trying to tell you earlier, you are not dreaming this is how you are now and will be forever. What you see feel, hear, touch, see, and taste from now on are all basic memories of “having” a body. You are now a “saved” soul, your body was beyond repair when my commander found you.” Rei continued to explain as she walked around Asuka murmuring to herself.

“My commander, saw fit to save you for some reason, you owe her your life and loyalty. You are aboard the “High purpose” in the 5th medical wing of the “Rouge Angels” where your soul was successful transferred to a dreadnought unit.” Rei stopped in front of Asuka who continued to mutter. Rei smiled a little at the girl as she reached out and touched her.

“They have switched the control-soul-ballast to me in your body, it keeps you from going insane and killing people and yourself, now if I give your voice back will you continue to listen to me quietly?” Rei offered shortly as she gave Asuka enough strength to moan an answer.

“Mmmm ye…s.” Asuka lifted her head with a sly grin that caught Rei off guard. Rei held steadfast with her bored frown as she knew she had Asuka’s complete attention.

“So… what now… doc?” Asuka asked slowly as Rei kept her closely in check.

“You have control of all you see now, you can take the form and shape of anything and create it here basically your own little world here.” Rei looked around proudly in control as she felt Asuka’s eyes strangely on only her. After many minutes of Rei’s calm explaining and fine detailing Asuka had decided and planned what to do with this “Rei”. Memory lose or not she still had the crumbs to deal with friendless nobodies.

“My name is Asuka Langley Sohryu, let’s be friends.” Asuka used all her power given to her to smile brightly, trying to force her hand down to shake. Rei felt a strange heat fill her cheeks as she cleared her throat and let their two hands embrace.

“Unit-0, uhhh I mean, Rei Ayanami.” Rei couldn’t remember the last time she had said her own name. Rei found herself staring into Asuka’s eyes as Asuka seemed to draw more power from her being connected to her.

“Rei, I’m not a child, let me do it.” Asuka asked quickly as Rei though it over deeply, hiding her confusion on what this wildly girl was about. Asuka learned swiftly how use her personal interface as Rei had to barely explain.

“Ok, raise your arm and wave.” Rei instructed to Asuka as Ritsuko sighed longingly and turned for the door.

“Thank god, I was getting fucking impatient with her.”


“Your online, all systems are green, she’s all yours, see you in a second.” Rei’s figure started to fade as Asuka waved carelessly.

“About damn time Rei.” Ritsuko stood directly in front of the slim android and massive monster of metal, smirking as Rei stood wordlessly next to Asuka’s dreadnought.

“Sorry Unit 88 was a little hesitant until the switch, but she’s ok now, right Unit 88.” Rei turned to Asuka with her emotionless face.

“Yes, Unit 0 I am ready to serve... again.” Asuka replied formally.

“Good, Rei take her training, we drop-planet in 6 hours I want her ready to make it fucking rain metal, got me?” Ritsuko’s formal tone disappeared instantly as Asuka flashed back to standing in front of her commander, Misato Katsuragi.

“You don’t have any problem with that do you Major Langley Sohryu?” Ritsuko tilted her head up proudly as Asuka gasped to herself deep in her bodiless host.

“You seem surprised? I know all about you. You were to be promoted after Ziony-5 but with everyone dead in battalion your rank when straight to the goddamn top, talk about lucky fuckin’ ducky, besides all that how do you feel?” Ritsuko laughed heartly as she scanned lightly through Asuka’s mind. Even with spacey memories Asuka’s proper respect of command and duty found itself first.

“It is better to die for the emperor, then live for yourself.” Asuka said proudly through her crisp static voice as the tall, blonde librarian nodded with a smile.

“Dismissed.” Ritsuko ordered as the two moved out into the hall.

“Well Misato, let’s see if your girl’s got what it takes.”


Ritsuko looked to the ceiling picturing Misato looking down at her.
