Moon.
"What do you mean we're in a different universe?" Misato asked.
"Well what happened was that we were able to fix your world, but for some reason we were all sucked up into Seth's universe." Blaze stated.
"So that means you guys didn't save the world. You fuckers just brought us to a different dimension." Asuka was pissed. Sure the people currently on the moon would be fine, but was about WILLE's other members. Wunder only had 300 people as its crew, the rest of humanity back in their universe was still stuck in that god forsaken world.
"No. Shinji and Seth were successful in restoring your world, however for some reason the door of Guf sucked us all up. This is troubling as we are unable to return."
"Blaze I thought you could make portals to an infinite number of dimensions." Seth said.
"I can and we could return to that universe, but Wunder or any of the Evangelion units will be unable to return. They're just too big." Seth and the crew of Wunder were slightly disturbed by this fact.
"Ah dammit there's also the difference in the flow of time."
"Flow of time?" Ritsuko asked.
"Basically your universe and mine have different time flows, one day here means 50 days in your universe." The crew of Wunder was horrified at this. Luckily someone had some words to say that would calm them down.
"Master when you and Shinji restored the world the flow of time in your universe and theirs synced together. They're now on the same flow of time." Flame words lifted a large burden off of Wunder's crew shoulders. Seth suddenly remembered something.
"Wait, but when Kaworu was in the Mark 06 was able to send not one, but two Evas to another dimension." This sparked a little hope into the crew of Winder, but the angel of free will had bad news.
"Seth I have bad news." Kaworu-chan said.
"Take a look at the [Lance of Cassius]." Kaworu-chan said. Seth and Shinji looked at the spear and saw that it was no longer bluish grey, but now blood red.
"The [Lance of Cassius] has lost its god like properties. Without it I can't open a portal and if I remember correctly The pilot of Hachigoki thrusted the second [Lance of Cassius] into the door of Guf."
"Which means we're unable to retrieve the lance. It's now stuck between space and time." Blaze said finishing Kaworu-chan sentences.
"You people of Wunder will be able to head home, but Wunder and the Evas will not." Blaze finally said. "If any of you wish to return to your universe please say so and we will work on a way of getting back." Blaze knew that her size limit was about thirty meters. Anything larger then that would be impossible to transport by her.
Surprisingly the crew of Wunder refused to go back. Sure they cared about the rest of humanity left in their universe, but they were loyal to Misato who was wondering what to do next. They had to stay hidden, they were from a different dimension and they had to stay hidden. If they revealed themselves they could be considered hostile and they would have to fight. Misato wasn't even sure Wunder could handle reentry.
"Misato is Wunder still able to move?" Seth asked.
"Yes why?" Misato asked.
"Then please follow me. I think I have an answer to this troubling question." Seth took control of Unit 13 and began to move.
Lunar Base.
Seth had led the crew of Wunder and the other Evangelions to his lunar base, which only after several days of construction could house 100 people, It still was nowhere near the size of his origin plans, it was not enough for all of Wunder's crew, but Seth told them that his satellite system [O.S.E.N.] would continue to build the base more and more. The [O.S.E.N.] system now had three satellites. The [O.S.E.N.] was now tasked with building a hangar for the massive Wunder and he ordered it to go into overdrive. Currently Seth, Shinji, Rei Q and Kaworu-chan were sitting on one side of a table, while on the other side stood Misato, Ritsuko, Asuka, Rei, and Mari. They were currently discussing the terms of their new alliance. Somehow they ended up calling in Seth and Samus ship and Seth took them down to the earth's surface.
Blaze told them that currently only about 1 1/2 hours have passed since he left. Seth had contacted his sister and the academy that he was safe and that he lost Ichika or as he called him that thing. Which was technically true. They requested that he return immediately, but Seth lied and said that [B.L.A.Z.E.] and [F.L.A.M.E.] were currently unable to fly, they would be repaired in a few hours. He said that he would return by the end of the day.
"Alright now that they're out of the way." Seth said as he needed a lot of supplies. First off they need to find clothes for the people in plug suits. Seth had to grab the clothes before they would be able to walk around. After finally retrieving the clothes they were able to explore. The people of WILLE felt odd being able to walk in such a crowded city and see everyone act so care free.
"Now than Seth could you mind telling me more about this world and the infinite Stratos."
"The infinite Stratos is a machine that has changed this world since its introduction. It's superior than fighter jets in firepower and movability. There was a instance when a single I.S. Unit was able to take out over 2,000 missiles that were aimed at Japan. This became known as the white knight incident. Now women are much higher than men in society."
"Huh?" It seemed weird for the introduction of a machine caused a shift in society.
"Didn't I tell you that currently the Infinite Stratos can be used only by a woman. I'm currently the only male in the world that can use an I.S." The others were slightly surprised by this fact and they began to wonder if a woman could Pilot an I.S. better.
"Wow Aniki." Shinji was actually really surprised about this fact.
"Wait, Seth didn't you say that you were in a school that teaches people all about this I.S. thing." Asuka said as she had asked about the white outfit Seth was wearing.
"Yes that's correct." Seth answered.
"That would mean captain Fairs attends an all girl school." Rei Q stated as she put the pieces together.
"Oh how scandalous." Mari said as she realized what Seth could do in an all girl school.
"Hey, I am not a pervert." Seth stated. The others, except the Reis, laughed at his reaction only because he was so serious all the time. Seth decided that they should get something to eat. He saw a fast food restaurant and decided they should eat there. He failed to notice that he was being trailed by seven girls.
"Who are these people?" Houki asked as she saw Seth sitting down several people she didn't know.
"I don't know this is quite troubling." Cecilia was wondering why Seth hadn't returned yet to I.S. academy especially after being attacked on the same day.
"So he fails as a bride and goes hang out with his friends without telling us." Laura had actually been worried about Seth and when he disappeared a part of her was worried beyond belief.
"I swear he's a Baka at times." Rin said as she saw him have fun even when he made others worry about him.
"..." After years of fighting Samus could tell when some has seen war and these people had definitely seen their fair share of war, expect the boy in the group.
"What are you up to Fairs-Kun." Tatenashi asked as she was curious as to who these new people were.
"Seth what are you hiding?" Even Charlotte had begun to question Seth. She was wondering what he was doing with these new people.
Seth was currently talking with Misato about the future of the currently stranded WILLE and its crew. He suggested that they become a secret group. Basically they would become a P.M.C. (Private Military Company). Then Seth realized that he would need to make a false branch of this new P.M.C. To actually take contracts and then they would need funding. The more Seth thought about this the less it seemed possible.
"Seth don't worry about the money, we'll take care of that." Blaze said. Flame and Blaze would invest a lot of Seth's current money into stocks. They would watch for sudden shifts and repeating patterns.
"I see. Now to the topic of my groups housing accommodation."
"Seth what do you mean?" Ritsuko asked.
"I've noticed that you guys did not hate Shinji rather you were afraid of him, but I can't say that for the rest of Wunder. I'm scared that he'll be attacked." Seth stated.
"What Seth you don't trust us." Misato said.
"To be blunt, yes, I don't trust you guys." This was a little shocking for the group but Seth soon explain why.
"Did you think the person who you placed a freaking bomb on his neck, to act like nothing happen. I understand that you guys were scared of a third impact, but still you guys have lost my trust. However I believe in second chances and I am willing to let you earn my trust again." Seth stated. The former people of NERV, now members of WILLE could see where Seth was coming from. Seth when he first arrived again came to Zerogouki and Nigoki rescue and how did they repay him. By placing a bomb on his neck and even after all this Seth chooses to still help them, or was it because he felt obligated to help them. Because of him the crew of Wunder were stuck here.
"Seth I trust you'll make a good choice, however I request that you allow the Eva pilots to stay here on earth and I have a certain young girl aboard the Wunder that should attend school here on earth." Misato stated, and someone had a piece of her mind to say.
"What?! School?! We have to go to school?!" Asuka protested.
"Of course Asuka. The only reason you three were pulled out of school was because of third impact." Ritsuko said.
"But were freaking 28!" Asuka yelled.
"Actually Asuka, Blaze did a recent bio-scan and you guys are fourteen again." This news was shocking to the group. Misato and Ritsuko asked what their age was. After a quick scan Blaze told them that they were fourteen years younger as well.
"See Asuka there's no issue with you going to school now is there." Misato asked as she was now in a cheerful mood. She was 29 again and boy did it feel good. For once in a long time she didn't have to be the cold heartless commander. She didn't have to act all emotionless. She could be something she hasn't been in a long time. Herself.
"Misato, I'll find a good middle school for Shinji and the others, but we need to get you and Ritsuko back to Wunder. Shinji here take this." Seth handed Shinji a cell phone. "It's preloaded with the location of an apartment that I've rented out. It should be able to hold you guys. I'll call you when I've returned these two and please all of you get along." Seth said as he left with Ritsuko and Misato.
Seth knew that he was currently being followed, so he quickly shook off his followers, which was a slight challenge, but sure enough he did. After that, he and his two passengers quickly boarded the hunter-class ship and head towards the moon. After they reached the lunar base, Seth was asked by Misato to take a girl named Sakura Suzuhara back with him. Seth agreed and the young girl hopped aboard his ship. After Seth got Sakura to the apartment, he headed back to I.S. academy. He was in for a world of pain. Everyone was asking questions like where he had went and why didn't he come back right away. Seth was able to convince those around him with his false story.
Room 1025.
"I'm beat." Seth said as he was just outside of his room.
"Well Seth you've had a long day technically speaking." Blaze said. Seth opened the door. Inside he saw Samus arguing with Tatenashi.
"Like I said I'm sleeping here now." Tatenashi said.
"Like hell you are!" Samus said.
"What's going on?" Seth asked.
"Seth she won't go away." Samus said.
"Seth-kun look here, I got the crown so I get to move in with you." Tatenashi said as she held up only half of the crown that Seth was once wearing.
"You only got half of the crown, I have the other half. Also I already live here." Samus said as she held the other half.
"Then you both can live here." Seth said.
"What?" The girls said.
"There's two bed in here so both of you can sleep here."
"But Seth what about you?" Tatenashi asked.
"I got a spare futon. I'll sleep in it." Seth said as he brought out the futon from the closet.
"Oh Seth you're such a gentlemen, letting us take the bed." Tatenashi said as she wrapped her arms around much to Samus's displeasure.
"So Seth who were those people you met today?" Tatenashi asked.
Several Days Later.
Everything had been going well for the young white hair boy. He was able to sneak the 'baby' Metroid out of his room and on to the moon base, which now could house 170 people. Wunder's hanger was almost complete and the Eva were all fully repaired. The Mark 09 was a little troubling. It had activated by itself several times, and Seth was forced to place the [Lance of Cassius] in it. Seth had thought of destroying the Unit, but he felt that it was too valuable to lose. The [O.S.E.N.] now had five satellights. Seth was able to find a middle school for the Eva pilots to attend that was the same one Ran Gotanda went to. The Eva pilots were able to get use to daily life in this world and they weren't trying to kill each other. Blaze and Flame with Seth's savings now had a steady amount of cash that they could depend on. They were still a while away from the foundation of their P.M.C. Seth told Samus what had happen. At first she was mad because he left without her, but soon forgave him. She had yet to meet the members of WILLE or this Shinji Ikari, Seth kept talking about.
Seth was currently in the hallways of I.S. academy and Tatenashi had asked Seth a favor.
"Please be my sister's partner in the upcoming tournament." Tatenashi asked.
"Huh?"
"Like I say, please be my sister's partner in the upcoming tournament." She repeated. Seth found only one problem with this, Samus. She was technically his partner by default, plus this would be her first tournament in I.S. Academy.
"I'll do it, but what about Samus. I can't leave her alone." Seth stated.
"Don't worry, Onee-san has already taken care of tournament will be triple battles." Tatenashi said as she left. Seth decided that he should ask Tatenashi's little sister if she's willing to help him.
Classroom 1-4
Seth now entered the classroom and saw the blue hair girl he was looking for.
"Huh, whats Fairs doing in here?" A girl asked.
"I don't know, I wonder what it is he's doing here?"
"Hey he's going towards Kanzashi-san desk." Seth was in front of the blue hair girl, who was unphaze by his prenses there. She was constantly staring at her hologram screen and inputting new data in it.
"Um...Excuse me, but would you be willing to be my partner in the upcoming tournament?"
""EEEEHHHH!"" The girls in the classroom yelled. Kanzashi blushed a bright red.
"Um, Fairs-san, I'm sorry, but I think I misheard you. Could you repeat yourself." Kanzashi said.
"I said, will you be my partner in the upcoming tournament." Seth repeated.
"Fairs-san, it isn't nice to tease a girl like this."
"I'm being completely serious." Seth said in a serious tone. Kanzashi looked up and saw the serious look in Seth's eyes and blushed even harder.
"W-W-W-Why would you want me on your team?" Kanzashi asked, while still blushing like crazy.
"I can see a lot of potential in you." This was the nicest thing anyone had said to the girl. She hadn't realized it yet, but she had fallen for Seth. He was her knight in shining armor.
"I would love to help you, but my personal I.S. is still being made, and I don't know when it will be finished." Kanzashi said. Seth smirked.
"You're making your own I.S. right?" Seth asked. The girl nodded her head. "Then will you let me help you with it. I happen to be pretty good at I.S. engineering." Seth said.
"Sure I would be really glad to have your help." Kanzashi said. The bell had just rung and Seth had to return to his class.
Later that Day.
Seth was glad that it was Friday. This means that he could work all night with Kanzashi on her [Uchigane Nishiki]. He would need some stuff to stay up all night. After getting all the supplies and his tools, Seth entered the I.S. hanger. There he saw the [Uchigane Nishiki], but he instantly found several problems. [Uchigane Nishiki] on the outside was really bad, but the worst of it was the I.S.'s operating system. It needed a lot of work.
In about 30 minutes Kanzashi had entered the I.S. and already saw Seth typing away. She was impress with his typing speed and now joined him in bring her I.S. to life.
2:00 A.M.
The two of them had been working on [Uchigane Nishiki] for 11 hours. Kanzashi had fallen asleep and now was covered by a blanket that Seth provided. Seth thought the girl looked really cute while sleeping. Seth saw that [Uchigane Nishiki] only weapons were a spear, a massive barrage of missiles and two railguns based at the hips. Seth decided that her spear needed some upgrades. He would install Elemental Shift on the spear and the ability to fire a energy beam to the spear. Seth replaced all missiles that were currently installed with noise missiles. He also installed a grapple beam and Energy Drain on [Uchigane Nishiki]. Seth also thought that he should create a bit system for the I.S. His only question was whether to make it an offensive bit system or defensive. It was already 3:30 A.M. Seth decided to let the [O.S.E.N.] system decide the bit system. Seth picked up the blue hair girl and carried her into her room. After that he headed back to his room and the moment he fell on the futon he fell asleep.
His dreams were haunted with terrible images, yet he couldn't remember any of it.
The next morning.
When the sun rose the two girls in room 1025 woke up. Something was off, normally Seth would wake up before them and start making breakfast, but this morning they didn't smell any food. They looked at Seth's futon and saw the boy sleeping, but not calmly. He was another nightmare.
"Seth wake up." Samus said as she shook the boy's shoulder.
"Huh?" Seth said as he woke up.
"Seth are you alright?" Tatenashi asked as she had never seen Seth have a nightmare before.
"Yes, why?" Seth asked.
"You had another nightmare." Samus said.
"Again, dammit." Seth didn't like these nightmares, but the troubling part was that he couldn't remember them.
"Seth I think you should see someone for this." Tatenashi said as the boy got up. He didn't even change out of his uniform last night. It was stain with oil on several parts.
"I'm fine. Crap I'm suppose to meet Kanzashi at 9." Seth said as he grabbed some clothes that he didn't care if they got dirty. He changed his clothes in the bathroom and headed out. Samus wanted to know who this Kanzashi person was and Tatenashi wanted to know how her sister's I.S. is coming along.
I.S. Hanger.
Seth arrived three minutes before the schedule time. Inside there he saw Kanzashi who was staring at in awe of her new machine.
"Hey Kanzashi." Seth said.
"Fairs-san good morning. Are you ready to keep working on [Uchigane Nishiki]?" She asked.
"Actually Kanzashi I think its time for a test flight." Seth said.
"Eh, really!" Kanzashi thought that they had a lot more work to do, but Seth took care of it last night. Plus [O.S.E.N.] had made something really special for Kanzashi.
Arena Four.
Seth was currently in [B.L.A.Z.E.] and waiting inside of the arena. He soon saw the fruit of his hard labor take flight. [Uchigane Nishiki] now soaring in the sky. Kanzashi was overjoyed.
"Fairs-san this is amazing!" Kanzashi said as she couldn't believe how smoothly it was flying.
"Kanzashi I've got a present for you." Seth said as he pointed to the sky. Kanzashi looked up and saw a fireball coming down. She was scared at first, but soon the pod cooled down and released what it was holding. Kanzashi saw a shield come from the pod and it attached itself to [Uchigane Nishiki].
"A shield?" Kanzashi wonder why Seth gave her a shield.
"Kanzashi you're not a person that like to attack, so I want you to be my shield. That shields name is [Suojelija]." [Suojelija] was a powerful shield. It would be able to withstand not only massive gunfire, but Seth's energy beams would hardly damage it. The shield wasn't a single piece, but in fact seven small bits. The shield could separate and deploy a weaker but still powerful energy shield.
"Kanzashi we got some training to do." Seth said as he began the train with her.
Day of the tournament.
Seth had introduce Kanzashi to Samus then told them that the tournament would be triple battles. So they had to work on their teamwork. Seth was great with either Kanzashi or Samus, but the two girls couldn't work together. After several days of train their teamwork was at a decent level.
Two days earlier Tatenashi had announce the tournament to the rest of the school. The rest of the girls wanted Seth to be on their team, but he already had a team. This angered the others and they vow to defeat Seth.
The teams were now set on the board. The first team was Seth in [B.L.A.Z.E.]/[F.L.A.M.E.], Samus in [Varia], and Kanzashi in [Uchigane Nishiki]. The second team was Tatenashi in [Mysterious Lady], Houki in [Akatsubaki], and Rin in [ShenLong]. Team three was Charlotte in [Raphael-Revive] custom, Laura in [Schwarzer Regan], and Cecilia in [Blue Tears].
Seth saw that they were going to face Tatenashi's team first. They were already in the arena and waiting for the match to start. Seth was glad he was finally able to fight in a tournament and nothing bad was going to happen. Or so he thought.
Suddenly a several unknown units broke through the arena's barrier and open fire on the group. Seth, Samus, and Kanzashi sprung into action. They all ordered their bits to create an large barrier. Seth switched to his X-ray visor and saw that even though they looked human, they were machines.
"Dammit these guys again." Seth said as he brought out his energy blades.
The machines quickly brought out razor sharp blades that were attached at the wrist. They were at least 12 of them and they all went for Seth. The white hair boy, quickly raised a barrier to protect himself, but something happened. The blades that these unmanned units were using had the same ability to null an energy shield as did Seth's energy blades. Seth thought that he was done for, had it not been for [B.L.A.Z.E.] who activated his A.T-Field.
The others were surprised when they saw several orange hexagonal shields protecting Seth, but they were more shocked when the hexagonal shields suddenly changed their shape into several mathematical prism, before unleashing a powerful A.T-Field blast at the unmanned machines. The blast knocked the machines away from [B.L.A.Z.E.].
"Seth, are you alright?!" Tatenashi asked.
"I'm fine, everyone be careful. The blades these things are using are like my energy blades. If you slip up things won't be good." Seth stated.
"Wait, but if they ability to penetrate the I.S's ultimate barrier, how did you block it?" Rin asked. The others started to wonder the same thing. Just then Laura, Cecilia, and Charlotte arrived inside of the arena.
"It's a special shield. Deal with these guys first, then ask questions." Seth said as he charged at one of the unmanned units. The unit brought up its blades just in time to meet Seth's energy blades and they entered a bind. Seth was surprised that the blades of the unmanned unit didn't melt, he remembered that Tabane had given [Akatsubaki] two blades that could also withstand an energy blade. He started to wonder if Tabane was the one who made these things.
"Seth look out!" Blaze yelled. Seth, finally out of his thoughts, saw that a unmanned unit was about to stab him with its blade. The unmanned unit was hit by a railgun shot, thanks to Laura in [Schwarzer Regan]. Seth saw that the unmanned unit that was about to hit him was suddenly pulled by a grapple beam. The machine was flung into the air where it was hit by several attacks. A massive noise missile bombardment by Kanzashi, several blue energy blast by Cecilia, a hailstorm of bullets by both Charlotte and Tatenashi, several shots from Rin's impact cannons, a charged shot of dark beam by Samus, and finally Houki revealed a new weapon that [Akatsubaki] made. Its called [Ugachi] and it was a energy arrow launcher. The red arrow of energy hit the unmanned unit and it deactivated.
Seth saw that one unit was down, the other 11 were still attacking him. They were only attacking him. They never went after any of the other I.S. units, so why only him, he wondered. Seth finally got the upper hand on three of the unmanned units. Seth defeated each one of them by ripping the core out of them. The remaining eight units did something that shocked Seth. They suddenly changed color.
"They have Elemental Shift?!" Seth couldn't believe that they have his technology. Seth knew that it have to have come from either Tabane or Umbrella. They were the only two capable of copying the data. Seth decided that he had to get serious.
"Access Code: Fusion Program!" Seth said and he was envelop by a red light. Seth appeared in [C.O.L.D.], but now it was more advanced. It seemed as if the fusion of [B.L.A.Z.E.] and [F.L.A.M.E.] was more in sync. Seth saw that the time limit was now 12 minutes.
"Trans-Am!" Seth yelled. Suddenly [C.O.L.D.] began to glow red and her noise particles turned green. The timer was cut down to just under six minutes. Seth wasted no time in eliminating the unmanned units. Seth fired two massive red energy beams at the remaining unmanned units. Three of the units were caught in the beam and instantly destroyed. One unit only lost a arm. The rest were unharmed. Two of the remaining units charged at Seth with their blades drawn. Seth unleashed the fury of [C.O.L.D.]'s energy blades in a new form. Seth slashed at the air and unleashed a energy shock blast that slashed the two units apart. Seth saw that none of the unmanned units remained. Samus and Kanzashi had taken one out, Tatenashi, Houki, and Rin took out another, and Laura, Charlotte, and Cecilia took out the last one. With the threat now over, the group rejoiced.
Awhile later.
Seth was currently alone, relaxing in his room after today's events. He had been called by Chifuyu to give an explanation on [C.O.L.D.]. She was shocked when she found out that it was a fusion between [B.L.A.Z.E.] and [F.L.A.M.E.]. Chifuyu told Seth that he was forbidden from using it against another student, which Seth had already sworn to do. He knew how crazy powerful it was, almost as strong as [Heaven's Wrath].
Seth heard a knocking on his door. He opened it and saw Kanzashi standing there holding a bag.
"Hey Kanzashi what's up?" Seth asked.
"Well um... I have a thank you gift for helping build my I.S." Kanzashi said as she give Seth the bag.
"You shouldn't have, I was more than glad to help." Seth said. Seth asked if it was okay to open it and Kanzashi said yes. Seth opened the gift and saw a DVD for a anime he saw a long time ago.
"No Way!" Seth exclaimed. This startled the bluenette.
"Eh? Seth do you hate anime?" Kanzashi asked with fear in her voice. 'Does he hate people who watch anime?' She wondered to herself.
"No, I love this movie!" Seth said with joy.
"Eh? Really?!" Kanzashi was starting to get excited herself.
"Yes this is one of my favorite movies of all time!" Seth said.
"Seth do you like anime?" Kanzashi asked.
"Yeah, especially mecha anime with a badass hero in it." Kanzashi couldn't believe it, that was her favorite genre as well.
"Seth I have several mecha DVD sets, would you like to watch them together with me?" Kanzashi had no idea why she suddenly said that out loud.
"Sure, that would be nice." Seth replied. Kanzashi couldn't help but smile now. She felt like the happiest girl in the world.
"I'm looking forward to it." Kanzashi said as she left. Seth returned to his comfy bed and closed his eyes.
Seth suddenly found himself in the realm of his soul. There he saw both Blaze and Flame in their human form.
"Blaze, Flame what's wrong?" Blaze and Flame only brought here when something bad is going to happen, or when they found a relic.
"Seth we've located the next relic." Blaze stated.
"Master, we've already contacted Chris and he's given us a 4 day time frame." Flame stated.
"I see so we should leave ASAP." Seth said. The two girls nodded their heads.
"Alright let me tell my sister that I'll be head to the BSSA headquarters and then we'll leave." Seth said as he got out of his bed and began to move.
