the additional impact event went exactly as everyone hoped with the exception of one shinji ikari, reincarnated as code 326 or mitsuru as he was named, upon learning the cause of his daughter's death being from his previous life, as an EVA pilot, he...
"yes, the girl has that blasted card you wanted her to have, what is so special about it anyway" kuroka asked
"the card will rival that of longinus class sacred gears, easily, it will also protect the girl being semi-sentient" i said, kuroka's eyes widened
"soon, the card will return to me with the girl, so it is time i keep my word, i will contact lady yasaka, and inform her" i said
"why is this girl so important" yasaka asked
"she is pure, jeanne will accept her" i replied
"jeanne" she asked, i shook my head
"not important" i replied
'creating a ruler class-card was difficult and the girl won't be able to handle jeanne's power for long, but it should bring a ruler-class servant to my side' i thought, it was sad that i had to create a new instrumentality plan, simply to remove my own powers, but what other choice did i have, though this answered why i had such a hard time connecting with anyone, and also why i likely didn't die when i piloted with 02, i wonder if we should name them
"uh boss, there are two people here to see you" kuroka said, sticking her head back in my door, i sighed
"let them in" i said, a moment later two faces i didn't think i'd see again entered the room
"hiro, 02, but your both supposed to be............ unit-01" i said
"is that what that purple unit is" 02 asked with her head tilted
"it saved us at the last minute told us that one of our own would need our help" hiro said, i laughed
"i am afraid you likely can't help me" i said
"what do you mean" hiro asked
"let's just say, i know how 02 felt all those years ago" i replied, the two flinched
"i can send you home if you like, i'm sure the squad will be glad to see you" i said
"what about you" hiro asked
"i am not worthy of such, it's because of me that ai, is dead" i said scowling
"so, you choose to live in this society" 02 asked
"i am actually working on switching places with them, they will come here, all of them i will return there to continue my work, i just haven't made enough allies to do so quite yet, also, i am trying to stop a war from starting, i am working on it, it isn't safe for them yet, it's not really safe for the two of you either, but i know 02 can take care of the both of you" i said
"what's going on here" 02 asked
"it's complicated" i said before gesturing them to sit and then i explained the world i had found and entered, and the alliance with yasaka that i currently held
"you are one man, what do hope to accomplish" 02 asked
"i am one man with a veritable army, courtesy of one gendo ikari, if push comes to shove, and war is the only option i am ready for it, i am currently preparing myself to face, two extremely powerful entities perhaps even three, we will see what happens" i said
"what entities are those" hiro asked
"the 666 beast, trihexa, unfortunately that is slow going" i said
"do you have a plan" hiro asked
"yes it's called evangelion unit-01, my current objective is it's resurrection, and without certain help that is a difficult task, and that certain help, will refuse to aid me, no matter my reasoning" i said
"so what do you need us for" hiro asked
"may i be blunt with you" i asked, they nodded
"hiro, i really don't need you, 02 i only really need as the dumb muscle at the moment, she should be able to take on the weaker threats of this world" i said, they looked at each other
"can't we do more" she asked
"no, i am not bringing in any larger help, unless i am fighting either of the dragon gods, or trihexa, my goal isn't to kill everyone and everything i see, and the devils already partially know what i am capable of fortunately they don't know who i am, they don't even have a name for me, thank papa" i said, before scowling
"that is still a habit i am trying to get rid of" i said, 02 nodded knowingly
"is there anything we can do" hiro asked, i hesitated, before ultimately shaking my head
"i'm afraid not, thank you both for asking, but this is my problem and my responsibility, i am making progress it's just rather slow" i said
"how long have been away" he asked
"for them it's only been a year" i said
"for them" hiro asked
"my curse will do more then simply kill all of my children" i said with a scowl
"so how long" she asked, i sighed
"it's been two decades" i said, their eyes widened
"you don't look like you've aged that much" hiro asked
"that's because i stopped aging at 17, another reason i need to get rid of this curse, it is likely i will outlive all of you, i'm not sure if could handle that, i do need one of you to head back" i said, just remembering
"why" hiro asked
"a cure for ikuno, she deserves it for pushing herself so hard, for me especially" i said
"you can do that" 02 asked
"i have learned my curse is not all bad, just mostly bad, i don't care who goes, and it can be both of you, i don't mind, and in fact would prefer it, you both especially deserve a rest, for going out there to fight for us" i said
"what that really be okay" hiro asked, at that i got up, opened my drawer i walked up to him and place a hypospray in his hand, quickly teaching hiro how to use it, i led them to a portal

"this is my own creation, it should take you directly to the house" i said
"you aren't alone" hiro said
"my dear friend, i may not be alone in spirit, but hope to be alone in reality, i don't want them to have to fight for me anymore, especially not ikuno and kokoro" i said, i gave him a hug, offering one to 02 as well, which she took
"i never got to tell you this so i will now, welcome to the squad 02" i said, she smiled
"thank you" she said, i nodded as i watched them enter, i sighed, back to work
