"Hi, Shinji. Did you have a nice time at school today?"
Shinji nodded, "I guess so. I was thinking of a way to fight the Angels. I've got one idea, but it is kind of silly."
Misato shrugged. "Silly or not, you might want to tell someone about it. Who knows, it might work. If it wasn't for the fact that only kids can pilot the EVA's, I'd be piloting one of them."
Shinji thought about it a bit and nodded. "I'll think about it a bit more. There are still a few details I need to work out."
Shinji opened his textbook and started his homework. 'How do I convert Rei or Asuka? Maybe if I modified the plugsuits somehow.'
After Shinji had finished, he mentally went over what he needed to do.
'The plugsuits are skintight and would allow for a conversion back and forth by just putting them on or removing them. The converted suit would act as powerful armor. Who am I kidding? While Rei or Asuka have those converted plugsuits on, they'll be close to indestructable and still be able to pilot an Evangelion and maybe allow them to use the AT fields better. Of course the...Ifirsuits? The Ifirsuits would still need to be wound up after they put them on to allow them to use those powers and the suits would act as control circuits.'
Shinji nodded and went to sleep, knowing what he was going to do the next day.
_______________________________________________________________________
As soon as Shinji woke up, he went and found certain raw materials that he needed to convert at least two plugsuits. He also found a couple of metal pipes that could be used as the basis for a key-staff.
'Here goes,' Shinji thought, as he entered NERV with the weird junk.
He managed to deflect the NERV guard's inquiry about the junk with saying that he was doing a science project. Breathing a sigh of relief after that encouter, Shinji entered the locker room of the EVA pilots. He did notice Rei was there.
Shinji hesitantly began, "Hi Rei. Um. I had this weird idea and was going to see if it would work, but I need your co-operation or Asuka's."
Rei looked at the junk that, Shinji had started idly working on as he talked to her. "What is your idea?"
Shinji started creating another mechanical box and opened the top of it. "Well, I think I can turn your or Asuka's plugsuit into a bit stronger armor. There would be additional beneifts, as well."
Rei remained silent for a long time, while Shinji finished the box and started work on the two metal pipes. She stared at the box that Shinji had finished.
"I take it that box will do the conversion of my plugsuit into armor?"
Shinji nodded. "I think that a converted plugsuit will give you much greater chances against the next Angel attack."
Before Rei could answer, Asuka stepped between the two of them and glared at Shinji. "So the Third Child has came up with a way to protect pilots better. Of course, you choose the wind-up doll to test the armor out first. Stupid."
Shinji flinched back and replied, "Well, I have enough to do two suits. And,...."
Asuka snorted and interjected, "One for you and one for Wonder-girl. Forget it Shinji, better make it one for me and one for Rei."
Shinjii nodded, "If you insist."
Shinji took a plugsuit from Asuka and stuffed it into the metal box. After a few strange noises, Shinji opened the box once more and handed Asuka back her plugsuit. Asuka compared the changed plugsuit with a spare.
"Feels a bit tougher. Maybe you do have something there, Shinji."
Shinji said nothing and did the same treatment to Rei's plugsuit After it was converted, he handed it back to Rei. He sighed, as he put the box into his locker. He looked at the staves he had just finished and sighed.
