"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Crash!
"Oof!"
The floating island soon had yet another hole in its weak ground as a humanoid purple 'object' fell from the sky, crashing into the island.
"Ugh... What happened? Last thing I remember is... blacking out after seeing Unit 02 mauled, and then... wait... ASUKA!"
The humanoid pulled itself free from the hole, revealing itself to anybody who would see as Evangelion Unit 01. The Eva quickly glanced back and forth, as if looking for someone, before his shoulders sagged.
"Wha... where is she? And where am I for that matter?" the amethyst eva muttered, shell shocked at his predicament.

Nearby, a blue and white machine with some red and yellow, noticed the landing of the Eva Unit. Slowly it turned to the "robot", wondering to himself of what it was and why it was here. "No other way then to ask." the machine muttered.
Igniting its boosters, it flies in almost a blink of an eye in front of the Eva. Quickly pointing his index finger to the robot/human, he asks, "Who are you? What are you doing here?" Pulling back his finger, he crosses his arms and waits for the mysterious being to answer.

"Aah!" The Eva screamed, back pedaling and falling on its back, not expecting a robot to, from its point of view, appear out of no where. After a few seconds of akward silence in which the Eva and mech stared at each other, the former finally noticed the latter's question.
"Uh... my name's... Shinji, Shinji Ikari. And... well... I don't know where I am, much less what I should be doing..."
Shinji glanced down, but quickly scrambled to his feet soon after, blinking as he looked at his hands.
"Wha... What happened...? Why do I look like this!?" The boy turned Eva muttered in shock, his entire body quivering.

The red and white machine, still with its arms crossed, sighed at the frightened Eva. "I don't know either." The machine said, "The same has happened to many other inhabitants, like myself, of this realm. Many who enter result to their mechanical forms. I don't know why, but it just happens."
Pausing to scan over just what this...thing..was, the machine continues, "My name is Burning Gundam, or just call me Domon for short. Now...just what in the world are you? You seem organic...but robotic at the same time.."

"W-Well... Domon... I... I got turned into something called an Evangelion... I think Ritsuko said they were biomechanical... which would explain what your confused about... I'm sorry... I don't know much..." the amethyst eva muttered, shoulders sagging.
"It just... seems hard to... focus on anything really..."

Burning Gundam slowly eased up on this tension. Looking over the Evangelion, he felt the grief and pain of the once human just by standing next to him. Years of suffering and torment echoed from the boy's body and Domon felt it in full force. Mentally shaking his head, the robot stares at Shinji with a new image upon his face.
"You may not be able to know what to do..." the robot says to Shinji, slowly clenching his fist, "You might not know where you are...but you will always be able to fight! So! Instead of hopelessly wondering this land, you must fight! That is what I've done. And that's what all who live here have done!" The robot's fully clenched hand glares with the symbol of the King of Hearts, growing in radiance as he continues his speech, "Cast aside your self loathing, your hatred, your depression! Fight! And I shall be the one to help you fight!"
As he continues, the wings on Burning Gundam's back spread out, the sound of charing power rings through Shinji's ears. "SHOW ME!! SHOW YOUR POWER THROUGH YOUR FISTS!!" the Gundam shouts, entering a fighting stance. Shinji looking obviously bewildered at the statement, Burning Gundam restates. "Do not hesitate! Hesitation shows weakness! And I'm going to help you beat the weakness out of you!!"

The boy-turned-Eva blinked at Burning Gundam, wondering why the hell he thought fighting was a good thing. Memories of the past came up... and the boy finally snapped.
"NO! I'M fuckING THROUGH WITH FIGHTING! I'VE ALREADY HELPED FIGHT A WAR, JUST SO MY bastard OF A FATHER CAN SCREW UP EVERYTHING WE TRIED TO PROTECT! I'M TIRED OF PEOPLE EXPECTING ME TO FIGHT! I'M THROUGH WITH BEING HURT BECAUSE OF ALL THE FIGHTING! I JUST WANTED TO LIVE A NORMAL LIFE AND I'D RATHER DIE THEN LET ANYONE PRESSURE ME INTO FIGHTING AGAIN! HOW CAN YOU BELIEVE FIGHTING IS ANYTHING OTHER THEN A TRAGEDY!? THESE HANDS damn NEAR KILLED ONE OF MY FRIENDS, ALL BECAUSE MY bastard FATHER WANTED TO HURT ME AGAIN! WHY CAN'T ANYBODY JUST LET ME LIVE IN PEACE!?"
Shinji stared down Domon, panting from all his screaming, his voice now hoarse. "Why? Why does everybody... expect me to fight...?"

The sound of jets suddenly echoed across the island, and a myriad of mechanized voices roared,
"DON'T MOVE!! HANDS IN THE AIR WHERE WE CAN SEE THEM!!!"
It was then that six 10-foot long fighter planes, futuristic in appearance, suddenly descended from the sky, spiraling around the Gundam and the Evangelion before they all shifted into a humanoid mode, dropping from the air and landing around both speakers, all raising a rifle of some sort and aiming it at them. One of them, a red, black, and white Veritech, issued some sort of short crackling noise, like a radio being turned on, and muttered,
"Sir, dimensional anomoly detected. Your orders?"
"Verify it! What's the classification on it?!" A familiar voice barked from the thing's head.
The 'leader' of the squad seemed to pause, looking Shinji up and down, before replying,
"Uhh... well, I'd identify it as a humanoid... um... not sure if it's a biological or a mechanical..."
"... how similar is it to the EVA class?" The voice implied in a hesitant tone.
"Very, sir. Same general appearance, other than a violet coloration and a cranial horn of sorts."
"... be right there. Keep it in the area." The voice finished.
"Yessir!" All six barked.
They all lowered their weapons, and one of them, a blue-and-gray model, muttered,
"Sorry for the scare, folks. Boss'll be here soon to explain everything. Just sit tight until then, would ya?"

It seemed as if Shinji had turned into a statue from the sudden yelling and seeing rifles pointed at him.
"Wha-What's going on here!?" The boy yelled sharply, panicked now, despite the fact that the rifles had all been lowered. Shinji casted a questioning glance towards Burning Gundam, but he doubted the other would have any idea what was going on, and so returned a cautious gaze to the Veritechs around them.

Burning Gundam glared at the Veritechs as they stood around himself and Shinji. Could this be O'Malley's doing? Has to be...only he could control the Veritechs... Domon ponders within his mind. The Gundam, without turning to Shinji, speaks to the human-Evangelion hybrid. "Shinji....I've lived a hard life as well." He began, "My mother being killed and recreated multiple times....my father being put into crystatsis since he was blamed for her death and his creation, the Ultimate Gundam....having to hunt down my brother only to find out he was innocent...my government that gave me my power creating a lie that they call a "life"....watching my master, the only person who seemed to care about me when I was younger die in my arms....and have my love almost taken from me by a demonic machine that could wipe out all life in the universe....I know...I know what it's like."
The Gundam paused, slowly turning to Shinji. "That's why I fight. I fight to help the weak who cannot stand up for themselves. To put justice in place to where it needs to be put. Fighting...is my way of living. Fighting...it just means you're alive. It shows you live, not just for yourself, but for others. If you don't fight, it just means you're dead. If your dead, the ones you care for....they will lose hope." The Gundam then turns to the Evangelion continuing, "And I know...many people will by sad if you were gone. Including this person you call Asuka. So LIVE for the sake of others, not just for your own Shinji. My words may be hypocritical....but..."
The robot turned back, looking towards the sun. "But I guess...that's just what all humans are at times..."

One of the Veritechs looked up at the sound of another set of jets, and soon after the other five did as well. Yet another figure appeared on the island after descending from the sky, disengaging some sort of large, black pack with four sets of wings and several LARGE boosters after landing and skidding to a halt. The black, humanoid machine slowly straightened out of the crouch it had landed in, single red optic ablaze as it glanced at the six Veritech mecha around them, then gave a lazy wave of the hand.
"S'alright, boys, I'll take it from here. Head back to base!" O'Malley barked.
They all snapped a salute and replied,
"Yes, sir!"
With that, they all shifted into their Fighter modes and spiraled off into the sky at astounding speeds. Before they'd even left, the head of Tenkyanon was already looking Shinji up and down, eye gleaming as the machine circled Evangelion 01. Finally, he paused, then muttered,
"Yes... so much like that Kyokan entity... and the other one Astor spoke of. This one seems... different, though."
He finally looked Shinji straight in the eye, head craning back to do so.
"You! What's your name, and how'd you get here?" He snapped.

Shinji's eyes narrowed slightly as he took in Domon's story, the lowered his head.
"I... I'm so sorry... I didn't know..." he whispered to the Gundam. It didn't seem possible to him, that some one could have had a life as hard as, no, harder then his own. But the proof was in front of his face. He may not be good at seeing people's real emotions when they speak, but Burning Gundam's words practically broadcasted his true feelings.
He then turned to the droid shuddering slightly under O'Malley's gaze.
"Uh, Shinji Ikari... and... well... I don't know how I got 'here'... I'm not even sure where 'here' is, the very last thing that happened to me before I got here was..." Shinji trailed off, looking skyward and trying to remember.
"... damn... I don't even remember what happened just before I got here..."

Glancing to the Eva, the Gundam felt sorrow about this young soul forced to fight a losing battle. A soul tormented by those he thought he knew. The human soul within Burning Gundam longed to help this young man. To give him a chance to lift his head to the heavens and not care of danger. Like how Master Asia helped him. He quickly shifts views to O'Malley.
Taking a few steps in front of the Eva, partially blocking him from seeing O'Malley, he speaks to the black machine. "O'Malley...is there a need to take him to your fortress and study him? He's been through a lot..." the Gundam says, "I can take over looking after him. You can trust me with him."
Burning Gundam looks at O'Malley with a desperate look, not wanting the young man to endure any more pain. Especially in a world he knows nothing about.

O'Malley glanced at Burning, an almost irritated air about him as his eye narrowed at the machine.
"I don't wish to offend you, Burning... but don't assume I'm here to simply 'study' him. I came here to investigate a dimensional phenomena, and instead I find another entity forced onto this desolate mudball you call a 'planet'. He's suffering from amnesia, and I know I won't get much out of him because of it."
Though he made no movement, his stare somehow grew colder, and his gaze turned to Shinji himself.
"Besides... you can't relate to him, nor could you ever hope to. You had a choice to fight, he didn't. He was forced into it... as I was. And still am, from time to time..." He stated in an icy tone.
His eye's blast-shield slid shut, his equivilent of closing eyes. He shook his head, then stated directly to Shinji as his neon eye reopened,
"If I understand the information given to me by my 'sources' correctly, you are on another Earth, a dimension parallel to your own world... one among many. To clarify, you are miles from the city known as Nightshade, populated by humans, of course, in case you're worried about this world being ruled by cockroaches or something. However, that city, as well as much of the area around it, seems to be a magnet to very large paranormal entities and happenings, such as yourself. My guess is an event in your world produced a massive amount of energy, which resonated with the strange aura this place radiates, and forced you through a dimensional rift."
He turned his back on both the Gundam and the Eva, and stared at the mountains that blocked the city from view.
"I am hesitant to tell you that there is no known means in this world to return you to your own plane... but, perhaps, I do have good news for you. There are two others in the area much like yourself, 'Evangelion' I am to understand. One has a red coloration, the other silver."
He glanced over his shoulder, and issued his offer:
"I can get you to them. I have the means to locate them within the hour. All I want in return is to ask them the same questions I've asked yourself."
He fell silent, awaiting an answer. He could easily find the others himself and more-or-less interrogate them, but he thought this to work in his favor. They'd be much more willing to talk with a comrade nearby...

"Red? Asuka? ... Wait... No, she hates me, she's made sure to get that across... And I don't really like her myself... I think I tried to strangle her once or twice... She always insults me... she always hurts me... she never cared..."
The amethyst Eva clenched a fist, shuddering as his eyes contracted to slits.
"And now that I think about... I hate that bitch too... I hope I never see her again..."
Shinji tilted his head back suddenly and let loose a sorrowful scream to the heavens, before dropping on his knees and punching a fist into the ground, cracking it easily.
"I'm just... so sick and tired of nobody truly caring about me... I just want it to end..." Shinji muttered, sobbing. Scared and uncertain, he didn't really want to go with either of these machines, he didn't want to risk being hurt and hated again.
