Shepherd nodded.

"Of course he's planning something. He already talked about having set something in motion. Yeah, he's a danger. You're right, we do need to be careful. Care to some with us? I'm sure an extra TerrInt agent on hand could come in quite handy."

He looked around.

"Of course, the rest of you are welcome to come along if you wish...but yeah, it's going to be trying to secure a landing zone in the middle of a warzone while guarding a dangerous prisoner, but in case the day hasn't been eventful enough for you, here you are."

Zegema

Didymus was shocked, realizing that he should have been in his guard for that.

"...heh...well, come on. It was sappy, but you couldn't have been displeased with what you heard. Anyway, if you've anything to say, I suppose something I can do even at this size is listen..."

Kanna frowned, for a moment thinking about what he was trying to say...There was a chance that what he was saying was true. NERV did plenty of things to the woman, surely erasing her memories wouldn't have been too strange at a concept.

"It's not true." she said simply, running a hand through her hair "They made me remember everything else, surely they wouldn't have just taken that part away"

Great. Now Kanna was doubting herself. This probably wasn't going to help the fact that she was pathetically scared of the organization.

[...]

It was reaaaaalllly hard to imagine Kanna as a kid, but people always said she a lot like her mom. She didn't take that as a compliment most of the time.

Though they really did seem to be alike.

"So she joined on her own..." she said quietly, thinking. "And you two became friends....But she seems a lot more afraid of him than you...Why didn't you protect her?"

Oh snap.


New Marais

Crystal nodded, pulling herself up and moving her hands around to be covered with her blob of water. She needed a place she could sit and concentrate, but right now they didn't have that luxury.

She then realized what was happening with Ben. She stopped, shaking her head. "Go help him....I'll be okay"

Jade looked over. "I'll help her!"

Rica closed his eyes.

“... I tried.” Rica mumbled sadly. There was clear pain and distress in his voice.

“We worked out a plan to leave. We tried... but things went wrong. Kanna wasn't able to get out. I... I tried to go back for her, but... it wasn't possible... I tried more than once, but...”

Rica was starting to shake. “... I would have happily died to protect her... but... I couldn't save her.”

[New Marais]

“Stay safe.” Sama frowned, and he turned and ran towards the EVA. He needed to help Ben before he went and got himself in real trouble.

Sama knew what EVAs were... he remembered Asuka talking about them...

[Zegema]

“... I don't like talking about it. I just... it's hard for me. The only person I ever talked to about this stuff was Peterson...”

"Well, you don't have to. I'd rather you relax and refresh, provided that the ways for you to do that aren't immoral or too humiliating for me..." Didymus chuckled nervously.

"So if you want to talk, we can. Want to watch TV or something, we can. Or...well, I guess not whatever else, I can't say that, but I do want to see you enjoy yourself if you can..."

Melanie frowned, taking a sudden step forward and placing a hand on his shoulder (and he was still bending on at her level). "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that..." she said quietly, then looking away. "Well...I guess I should be happy. If she had escaped with you I would have never been born"

Because she was pretty sure Kanna would have been happy with just Jason if she had someone to take care of her.

"I think they were really mean to my mom...Just because of how she acts. At least your nice"

New Marais

"You too" Crystal said, allowing Jade to bring her back through the hologram. She looked back once more, holding her breath"

"He'll be fine" Jade said

"I hope...."

Rica smiled at Melanie. It seemed like, at least for the moment, she had forgotten how much she resented him.

“... You know something? I'm happy too. I think we're all better off for you being here.”

He paused as she elaborated on her thoughts about her mom. Rica shook his head.

“They were mean to all of us. Kanna... she went through some very tough times. I know part of that is because I couldn't save her... but part of it is because she's still afraid. She doesn't want NERV to come back... she doesn't want you and your siblings to go through what happened to us.”

[New Marais]

Sama had no idea how to help Ben at the moment, but he had to think of one.

“I really hope he didn't get sucked into the EVA's consciousness...” Sama frowned.

[Zegema]

“... Thanks.” Asuka mumbled quietly. She put the chocolate back down and let out a little sigh.

“... Tell me something. Why do you do what you do?”

"She shouldn't be afraid...After all she has people to protect her now..." Melanie said quietly "Between you...Both (she hated admitting that Ethan and Rica were both dealing with her mother) and Jason no one will be able to mess with her..."

And yet Kanna refused to relax about it all.

"You didn't know about Jason when you were there with my mom right?"

Rica gave a little smile to Melanie.

“I know. And Ethan, Jason and I would protect your mother... but she's afraid Melanie. I think we all are... all of us who were in NERV. We don't want you, or the children, to go through that.”

Rica paused, when she asked about Jason. He shook his head.

“... I had no idea. If I had known Kanna was pregnant... I don't know. I probably would have gotten myself torn to shreds trying to fight all of NERV to save her. But I would have tried harder... I just...”

He sighed. “When I first saw your mother again... and I met you and Jason... I was sad that Kanna had found someone else... but I was happy, too. I thought maybe she had a better life now.”

“Oh...well...” Galv paused, frowning, “Before...when...Melanie and I...ran away...we ran into this other girl...who I was told was my sister...my twin sister...and that...they had made my mother forget about her. She had electrical powers, like me...and...she looked a lot like mom too...”

-New Marais-

It didn't matter that what Ben was doing was incredibly dangerous...this was Ben after all!

He heard...voices? He couldn't make out words...but there was something in this machine. Something fight back. Something alive...being controlled.

Ben shot backwards, disengaging from the EVA, frowning.

He changed back to normal, then turned to Jade.

“...Jade, I need the Sheep,” Ben said, holding out his hand to her, completely serious, “And maybe the Rabbit...”

“Sheep? Rabbit?” Sama raised an eyebrow. “Are you crazy, man? What we need is a big, big laser... Wait a minute.”

Sama paused.

“I have a giant robot. I'm a giant robot pilot.”

Sama didn't know how he forgot he owned one of those.

“I'll be back!” Sama called, rushing back towards the lab, trying to get back to the ground level.

Didymus sighed.

"It was...hopefully still is...because I believe in things." he said.

"I admit, the things I've seen, that I hear...I'm afraid to finally admit it, but the doubts eat at me...but it's because I reject the notion that we're just soulless bags of meat with no rhyme or reason. Because I reject the notion that romance is all, if anything, that matters. Because I reject the notion that this Republic isn't worth defending, and that our people and the finest parts of human culture aren't worth my life and my sweat and my blood and my tears to defend. Because I reject the notion that the values of God, Republic, and humanity are all lies that need to be torn down in the name of "progress" or whatever cause the notion against them is wrapped in."

He paused.

"...and it seems like I'm in the minority sometimes, even amongst our own people. Heck, even I find myself questioning...but no. I refuse to believe that there is no order for a wide variety of reasons. And that's perhaps what it ties back to, Asuka. Order. I believe in a certain political, natural, cosmic, spiritual order. One that teaches me that this great Republic isn't all bad. One that teaches me that there IS a higher cause, a Higher Being. One that teaches that there ARE valuable things that are worth defending...and that men have duties to fulfill. And that's why I do what I do, Asuka."

He had had to shout that whole speech to get it to her. It was a tad odd, having given such a weighty speech-while standing at a half inch tall.

"Could you lay down or put me on your shoulder or something? It's getting hard to yell..."

"They didn't make me forget about anything!" Kanna snapped, not meaning to but raising her voice none-the-less. She didn't want to think about someone possibly stealing her memories away, no matter how bad they were. After all, if they did NERV could be hiding all sorts of horrible things that they did to her.

Kanna quieted down, sitting back and grabbing her empty glass. For a moment she looked down into it debating whether or not to get another glass of liquor.

"I'm sorry."

Wasn't too often she said that.

[...]

"I thought we had a good life" Melanie said quietly with a sigh. "We always had what we needed and we got to move around a lot. I thought it was an adventure, I mean what kid gets to say she gets a new house every few months? I didn't know that it was because we were running....I didn't realize that my mom was so sad. She never told us anything about before we were born, we just assumed it was not important."

Melanie was unaware that Kanna had told bits and pieces to Jason through the years.

"She's been sad for awhile. I guess it was because of you"


New Marais

Once again Ben was up to something....Jade wasn't sure what but she tossed him the stones he requested none-the-less. She would have asked what he was up to, but knew Ben would need the element of surprise to fight Azula in her EVA.

"Maybe I should throw in the dog too..."

Rica let out a little sigh and nodded slowly to Melanie. Hearing about what Kanna's life had been like before their reunion... it bothered him to know she was so upset. He wondered how different things would have been if he had been able to save her, if they had stayed together...

“... Well, none of us can change what happened. But we can both work to make her happy now.”

Rica gave Melanie a small smile – not his usually creepy smile, but a genuine one. “If we both work, we can make Kanna happy.”

[New Marais]

Azula was getting annoyed. Ben just kept on trying to stop her. Didn't he realize she had a giant robot powered by human suffering and her own abilities? He had no chance.

“Fools always need to learn things the hard way...” Azula muttered, and she fired more fireballs at Jade and Ben!

[…]

Sama, meanwhile, had run back to the surface. His lungs were burning and his legs hurt, but he couldn't slow down. He needed to contact the Ragnarok and get his mech deployed.

“Dang it... Ben, you better not do anything stupid til I get back...” Sama muttered.

[Zegema]

“I get what you're saying, even if you don't think I do.” Asuka replied, leaning on her side and shaking her head. “The problem is it's not all the same. What's the right answer for you might not be what's best for someone else. Everyone goes through different things.”

She paused. “But even on the subject of the Republic... who said it isn't worth defending? I mean, I fought a war against the Republic. I hate the notion that bunch of old fogies on Earth can decide what's best for the people of the colonies, when most of them have no idea what it's like living in those colonies. Even still, you've seen me fight for the Republic. Even if I disagree with how things are, I'm not trying to dismantle them.”

"I've tried for years to make her happy. Not just content but actually happy. I always made good grades and tried to be polite...I always did everything she told me to do and even cooked and cleaned so she wouldn't have to worry about it. She never seemed too thrilled though."

This was the reason she was so bitter towards Ethan and Rica.

"She does seem happier now, ever since we found you guys...And i've actually seen her smile at the babies. You are helping to get her out of that funk she's been in since she was in NERV....I wish I could do that for her."

The girl sighed, pushing her hair behind her shoulder.

Rica frowned. He understood now... he finally understood why Melanie resented them so much. Kanna was slowly getting to a place in life where she could be happy again... and she was able to be a better mother to the new babies than she had been to Melanie.

“Melanie, you have made her happy.” Rica said, turning his head to her. “Her children are what makes her happy. I know things have been hard through your life. I can't imagine what it must have been like for you growing up. But Kanna was more afraid then... because she was alone, and she had you, and Jason, to take care of. I wasn't there to help her, and neither was anyone else.”

Rica offered a slight smile. “But now, she has me, and Ethan, and Jason... and you. You do help her, Melanie. She wants what's best for you. I know its hard on you, a lot of the time. She's still adjusting to many of the changes... we all are.”

He reflected on her words. “In the past, good grades and chores were all well and good, but she was afraid of NERV. She was afraid, Melanie, I know, because she worried they would come back... and if they did, they would hurt you the way they hurt her. Now... with all of us as a group... I think she's less worried. She knows there's people who will protect you and your siblings from NERV.”
