The craters in the floor was giving Shinji a hard time to say the least. After pulling himself out of the bed and creeping to the hallway with Kaworu, he had promptly tripped into a 2 foot deep hole that was worn smooth into the floor. His weakened legs would have spilled his small form into the trench if not for Kaworu catching him. Pulling himself back up, Shinji attempted to walk again only to slip again on the glassy edge of the hole. Catching him again, Kaworu swiftly swept Shinji's legs from beneath him, carrying him as on would an infant or precious child. Cradling him close to keep warm outside the room, Kaworu walked them slowly through the halls of NERV. The facility Shinji had called home had changed immensely, almost beyond recognition. Craters, bullet holes, and what appeared to be burn marks riddled the armored maze of hallways. Exiting the lower levels to the main cavern, Shinji gasped as the true scale of the damage became apparent. Although this area had once been lower underground than the Geofront sphere, now Shinji could see the underground sky, and the ugly hole which the last Angel had burrowed into the Geofront. A massive rent had been ripped into the cavern around him, and an Evangelion sized arm lay with it's fingers loose. Clad in green armor with streaks of deep blue along the forearm, the arm belonged to no Evangelion Shinji had ever seen. Passing by it, Kaworu was headed for the surface tram that lead up through the second sky to the outside of the Geofront. Boarding the boxlike lift, Kaworu gently placed Shinji in his seat and smoothly allowed him to slide out. While Shinji examined the damage to the cavern through the window, Kaworu quickly activated the tram while he wasn't looking. He didn't want Shinji to know he was an Angel. Kaworu worried that he would hate him, reject him, and demand Kaworu leave him. Of course, he had no intention of leaving the gentle boy anytime soon. Not out of duty or requirements, but a protective, longing urge that had been developing in Kaworu's heart since he first heard Shinji's name. Sitting beside him as the lift rose, Kaworu felt drawn to touch him, as he had since the moment Shinji's sleeping body had been brought from the plug. He wanted Shinji to know how much he cared about him, would always care about him, more than anything in the world. Reaching the top of the lift, Kaworu offered to take Shinji in his arms again, but the boy waved him away, determined to stand on his own. Watching Shinji slowly walk to the final lock, Kaworu experienced a moment of dread. He knew what was on the other side of the door, and he feared that if Shinji saw the other side, he would break down. Reaching out a moment too late, Shinji hit the override on the lock, and with a obvious struggle, the doors grinded open. Around them lay the ruins of the Black Pyramid, split in quarters and partially melted from 3rd Impact and the attack preceding it. An expanse of crimson wasteland stretched in all directions as far as they could see, and a massive nail of Angel core matter, floated above the red soaked plains. Shinji slowly sunk to his knees, clutching his chest, crying and groaning with sorrow. Kaworu bent down to comfort the grieving boy, hugging his shoulders gently, when Shinji began to scream. Shrieking in agony, Shinji was clawing at his shirt, and his tears were becoming polluted with red. Desperate to ease his pain, as a mother is to her child, Kaworu tore Shinji's shirt off to find the wound that hurt him so. It was not a wound that hurt him, nor the grief he felt over the devastation, but the glowing red light shining through his ribs, bright as when a flashlight is shown through your hand. The light was the size of a pea, but obviously caused Shinji excruciating pain, and Kaworu could feel waves of heat washing off him. Searching for the source of the light, Kaworu searched into Shinji's chest. What he saw both terrified him, and made him swell with hope. Exposure to the Angel particles in the air had triggered a unique and agonizing change in Shinji's body. His time as the pilot of a Radiant Giant had started him on a path away from humanity. Shinji Ikari, The 3rd Children, Catalyst of 3rd Impact, was developing an S2 Engine in his chest.
