Naruto x Eva: Rescue the Runaway

Shinji

I already told you, Asuka. I'm not going back.

Shinji

(She doesn't understand why I really joined...) For once I'm fighting for cause I believe in. I'm not running away.

Asuka

You're throwing your life away for what? Some twisted sense of purpose? All they'll do is make you a suicide bomber. You can't fight.

Naruto

Oi, Shinji! I'm here to drag you back myself if I have to!

Naruto

Believe it! No one's beyond redemption, not even you! I saved Sasuke and I'll save you too.

Shinji

THIS ISN'T KONOHA!!!! I'm laying my life for the cause, for Jihad. At least I get more respect here than I ever got at NERV!!!!

Misato

Shinji... there's something I never told you. About your mother.

Misato

(He needs to know the truth before it's too late...)

Shinji

What... what do you mean about my mother?

Misato

She's alive, Shinji. It's just that we had placed her soul in the EVA-01. I know you're looking for a purpose but this isn't it.

Misato

(This changes everything...)

Asuka

(Misato never told any of us...) You put her soul in an EVA... How could NERV do this...

Shinji

(She's alive... she's been alive this whole time... and they used her... they all used her...)

Shinji

LIARS! ALL OF YOU ARE LIARS!

Naruto

GET DOWN!

Asuka

(The safety's still on... he doesn't even know how to use it...)

Shinji

(It won't fire... why won't it fire...)

Asuka

Oh my god, Shinji. You can't even operate a basic AK? What do they have you doing here, making coffee?

Asuka

Let me guess - you're not a fighter. You're their errand boy. Their glorified secretary with a keffiyeh.

Shinji

(...I deliver supplies... organize their files... they call me "the Japanese kid" and laugh when I try to train...) I'm SPECIAL HERE!!! OK?

Naruto

Bro, you could have been my secretary back in the hidden leaf village. Why risk taking a drone strike just to fetch some papers?

Misato

Wait... my team's picking up chatter. ISIS fighters are mobilizing. They know we're here. They're saying Shinji is late with their coffee.

Shinji

Oh GOD!!! The one job I had and now I'm losing it. Thanks a lot Asuka... (I'm not so useful anymore.)

Asuka

Stop whining Shinji. We're getting you out of here and when we're back. I'm making you my bitch.

Asuka

(Because leaving you here means certain death... and I'm not ready to lose anyone else...)

Shinji

Don't come any closer! If I'm going to be a joke, then at least I'll be a joke that matters!

Misato

Shinji... I get it. Really, I do. After everything with your mother, feeling like you don't matter... I've been there.

Asuka

Oh please, Shinji. You can't even blow yourself up properly. Bet you'd mess up the timer too.

Naruto

ASUKA, DOES THIS LOOK LIKE THE TIME TO FUCKING JOKE???!!!! Shinji is about to blow us all to hell and here you are roasting him again. What's wrong?

Asuka

I'll tell you what's wrong. I LOVE SHINJI, OK!!!! HE'S A WEAKLING, BUT HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE MINE!!!! I CAN'T STAND SEEING HIM THROW HIS LIFE AWAY!!!

Shinji

You love me?

Asuka

I love you, you idiot! That's why I act like I hate you - because I'm too much of a coward to just say it!

Shinji

Asuka... I... the bomb's real. Thirty seconds. I don't know how to stop it. I won't let anyone else die. Farewell my friends.

Shinji

Twenty seconds. I won't let anyone else die because of me.

Naruto

(Shadow Clone Jutsu... now!)

Shinji

(What... what's happening?)

Naruto

RASENGAN!

Asuka

(Please make it... please make it...)

Shinji

(I'm... alive?)

Asuka

You absolute IDIOT! Don't you EVER scare me like that again!

Asuka

(You're not allowed to leave me. Not now. Not ever.)

Naruto

Believe it! Another life saved. That's what being a ninja's all about!
