State of Mind:01
This is mainly from Eva
Unit 01’s point of view. I thought it would be interesting to tell it from that
angle. Have fun and stuff. ^^
The world was cold and lonely place; nothing but the endless black cold and the
total loneliness in this barren realm. It had been like this for as long as he
could remember. The earliest memories were of ice as far as the eye could see. That
memory was the longest; it just went on so long.
The one day, out of nowhere, there was light. Lots of light, light he had never
seen before, huge areas of green land far, far away. He yearned to go there,
away from the cold, but he couldn’t. It took hours to get completely free of
the ice. He had never been a particularly powerful one among his kind, so
therefore he was last out of the ice. How long it took he did not know, but he
knew that he had been to slow.
He was still stuck in the ice when these…creatures… came along. They were
different from him, and that was frightening. The unknown frightens everybody. What
they did he didn’t know, but someone his practically frozen body was brought a
long way over the liquid ice. How ice could be liquid he did not understand.
The journey took a long time. The hard cold strings they used to keep him down
were never lifted. It was not nice of them to restrict him. After a while he
started thinking, and began to pick up things. They were smaller than him; a
lot smaller. It seemed irrelevant, but as time went by he could
feel…something…whenever they looked at him. It was almost as if they were
scared. They had nothing to be scared of. Why would they be scared here? It
puzzled him through his journey. As they journey went on, he began to feel more
and more of these creatures. Discomfort, tiredness, sadness; all the same that
he had felt through his life, they felt it too. Slowly it grew on him, and he
learned more. Learned more about the creatures that were called humans, and
what had happened to them in the past. Was own kind learning this too? Where
were they? Where was he?
At long last the sea stopped and there was land all around him. Land, a legend
and myth he had only dreamed about. They took him through the land and into
place of tall structures. They took him underground too, where the darkness
came again, and he panicked. He did not like the dark after seeing the
beautiful light for so long.
He started to struggle against the bonds holding him; he could feel the strange
feeling from the humans again. He struggled harder and harder, until finally
the bonds snapped. He was free, finally! Standing up for the first time in what
seemed forever was a pleasure, but he could not see. The darkness was there all
around him, closing in, closer, closer, closer! It was pitch dark, crushing in
on him, pushing. He couldn’t take it; he needed light.
Screaming and struggling he threw his arms around, hitting hard surfaces as he
searched for a way to the light. He heard faint screams, and something soft
underneath his foot, but he hardly cared. He needed a way out. Suddenly there
was pain-in his chest- and he staggered backwards. Again the pain came, and
again and again. He couldn’t take it. Slowly he fell to his knees, and
everything went darker than dark.
Tink…click…tink…tink…pain…click…tink…click…more
pain…what is happening?
What was this pain? Where was it coming from? Nothing but the dark, and no
answer, and there wasn’t any light either. He missed the light; a lot. Light
was comforting, pleasing, and revealing. The dark was cold, mysterious, and
dangerous.
How long had he been here? Memories of struggling in this same dark place came
to him. Where was this? There was no one with him in here. The bonds, they were
back; holding him down again. Why were the humans doing this? He hadn’t done
anything wrong, had he? No, no! He had been in the cold dark ice, and
then…humans took him away; into the light, and back into the dark. How could
they do something so…evil? Evil? What was that?
To cause ruin, injury,
and pain.
That is evil? Pain was there again, and pain came from evil. The humans must be
evil. What does one do to evil beings? What, what?! Help me.

“What do you intend to
do with this creature, Mr.Ikari?”
“Whatever caused the
melting of the Antarctic must be stopped. It is clear that humans could not
have done this. There have been reports of strange monstrous creatures. I believe
they are the source for the chaos. The creature we captured is similar, since
we salvaged it from the Antarctic. I mean to use it for us, for defense and for
our safety”
“I see. I pray you do
not fail Mr.Ikari, or else human kind might just be wiped off this planet. Good
luck.”
“Thank you, Sir”
--
Pain, lots and lots of
pain running through his body. The evil humans were doing something to him. It
was almost as if he was being reconstructed. Heavy solid things were being
placed all around his body, even more so around his core. First they had
drilled in there somehow without harming him, that was extraordinary and
against all the knowledge he possessed. Something had been put in his core and
all over his body. What where the humans trying to do? It did not make sense.
And so in the dark he wondered.
--
“So…so this is
Evangelion, Mr.Ikari?”
“Yes, Evangelion.
Created from an Angel to serve humans. The perfect counter weapon. Years of
struggle have finally paid off. Now we can rid ourselves of the Angels.”
“But we need someone to
pilot the Evangelion, do we not, Mr.Ikari?”
“Yes we do, we are
already in progress of selecting one”
“But what if the pilot
is rejected? Then what?”
“We will see, we might
have to search for a while for the perfect pilot.”
“I see”
--
How long had he been here? It must have been a really, really long time. After
the evil humans had put the solid objects on him-armor, as the humans called
it-he could no longer move of his own will. Not that it mattered. He missed the
light.
--
Suddenly one day,
something was inserted into his core. What?!! What was this? Frantically he
scanned and analyzed the object. Metal capsule. Is that it? No, more. There was
a human inside the capsule, a female. No a girl, a young girl. What were they
doing? This did not make sense at all.
Suddenly a wave shot out from the capsule, trying to connect to him. Slowly the
capsule connected to his nerves, and it felt good. Why should he stop it? It
was wonderful. The wave came to his most important nerves, the brain nerves. It
was strange, as the wave touched his nerves, he could see and feel inside the
girl. Information and memories rushed through him in a second, and he learned
everything. They were trying to control him, to destroy the angels. The evil
humans wanted to control him. And this girl, she was so different from him; he
could not accept her. He fought the wave, pushed it back. It was hard, like
trying to push against the solid ice so long ago. Pain again. Lots and lots of
excruciating pain, but he had to force the wave back or else the humans would
take him over, and he couldn’t let them. Most of all, he couldn’t let the girl
take him over, he did not like her.
Finally, he fought her off, and he regained his senses. The walls around him
were smashed, and there were panicked screams from somewhere. Delight. He was
feeling delight. He had fought of the evil humans and won. Winning felt good.

“How is Rei, Dr.Akagi?”
“She will live. Her
right arm is broken and her left ankle is fractured. It will not be long until
she can try another synchronization test.”
“Excellent”
--
What if the humans tried
to take him over again? Would he still fight? Yes, he would, if it was the same
girl. If it were another, maybe he would accept. He wanted someone like
himself, and the girl had not been. He needed someone in the same predicament as
himself. Maybe there was luck, just maybe.
Darkness came again, as the humans ended their day. For him it was just another
drop of time in a huge ocean. How much did he have left? Maybe when death came,
he would be free of these evil humans. Just maybe…if he was lucky.
SHIZAM! Done, done and
done..but now I don’t know if I should add more chapters, what do ya people
think?
