Brief Summary: The Archangel is now in the Common Era, smack in the middle of a war between Humans and Angels. Duty to Humanity comes first, going home comes second. Though if they fail, they will have no home.

"Evangelions and Gundams"

Chapter 1

"First Appearance"

The day had started out nice, but now, after nightfall, all hell was breaking loose. The three Evangelions were spotted rushing to stop another Angel attack, but this one would prove hard, and would've end in tragedy, but the arrival of a young man in something powerful and strong dictated otherwise.

The 13th Angel, Bardiel, had infected Evangelion Unit-03 and changed it to suit its tastes. The pilot of the Unit-03 became trapped with in. The infected Eva tore apart a good deal of the Matsushiro area. A few military units challenged the rouge unit, but were soundly and fatally defeated. Then Bardiel choose to march on Tokyo-3.

The Eva Units-00, -01, and -02 moved into a three line defensive form. The results were the quick and devastating defeat of the Unit-02. The Unit-00 lost an arm and was severely damaged. That left Unit-01 alone. The pilot, Shinji Ikari couldn't bring himself to engage the infected unit, because of the pilot being trapped with in. This results in the Unit-01 beginning to be thrashed about, but just as it looks like NERV Commander Gendo Ikari is about to activate the dummy plug, a bright light bathed the area and a metallic crunch was heard as Bardiel was punched so hard by a fist of unknown origin, that said enemy did a terrible impersonation of a flying bird.

Shinji turns the Unit-01's head to see were that blow came from. The blow ended up forcing the infected Eva to release him. Shinji looks to see a glistening red, white, blue, and black robot, easily as tall as the Evas, if not taller. It has golden horns and blue and black metallic wings. The face of the robot is set in deep in its head, giving the impression of it wearing a helmet.

'Though Eva heads are protected by helmets,' he thinks.

Bardiel stands up and roars at thesudden attack. He lunges to attack the new enemy, but is stop cold by a red, white, and black shield. The 13th Angel pushes hard against the shield, but the robot does not move. Then Shinji's radio crackles to life.

"Shinji destroy the enemy now. That's an order."

Shinji doesn't feel like listening to that order of his father's. Little do they know that the transmission was intercepted by two parties. The first group is a bunch U.N. soldiers who look at one another. They know that there is someone trapped in that unit and they need to get the kid out, but they are going to let him die.

The second group is where the robot came from. They decide its time for action on their part. They come about and go to support their unit that's already fighting. The pilot of the robot shakes his head. Then opens up an open frequency to tell Commander Ikari to stop and let him handle.

Inside NERV Commander Center Room

Commander Ikari's finger is once again about to push the dummy plug override when a transmission crackles into the NCCR.

"This is the Freedom! I'll defeat this enemy and free the pilot!"

Everyone just stares blankly at the central screen as the now named Freedom tosses Bardiel up and over him. The new unit turns quickly and draws a rifle out of a holding place behind the shield. The 13th Angel turns to attack, but two bright lights flash from rifle and tear through the infected Eva's armor. To add to that, the voice of the pilot sounded very young, but maybe older than Shinji, Asuka Langley Soryu, and Rei Ayanami.

Back on the Battleground

The U.N. soldiers cheer as the enemy falls hard to the ground, but it dies out, when the infected Eva returns to its feet. It then advances and prepares to attack. Tense seconds pass and it launches itself at the Freedom, but the Freedom jumps into the sky, high into the sky. All bore witness to the fact that it had begun to fly. Bardiel turned in time to see it zoom over its head and land three solid shots into his back, causing him to fall forward. The 13th Angel stood again and turned to face its flying enemy, when a second, burgundy colored robot dropped in behind it and grabbed at the Entry Plug. It then wretched the Entry Plug free, then took flight and flew to a flying white battleship to deposit its precious cargo inside one of the hangers.

The 13th Angel spun about to late, but just in time for a team of what appeared to be mass produced units to lay in some good, hard old fashion uppercuts, left and right hooks, jabs, and one-two punches. The 13th Angel was knocked high into the sky and fell hard to the ground. Then another unit with a striking resemblance to the 'Boxer Team' arrived and fired one huge momma of an energy cannon right into it.

The 13th Angel had activated his AT-Field and the shot barely punched through. It left considerable damage, but not enough to kill it, all according to the Freedom Group's plan. The flying ship then brought to bear two double barrel gun turrets and to fixed guns. Then the order was heard and all cleared out of the way, the Unit-01 one being dragged by the Freedom.

"GOTTFRIEDS AND LOHENGRINS, FIRE!"

Six bright lights shot forth for the ship and landed squarely on the infected Eva. The infected Eva once again put up its AT-Field, but the pure energy that hit it, began to mix with the energy of the AT-Field, then six more bright lights lit up the night, scoring a direct hit on the infected Unit-03. Then out of no where another bright, yellow beam of energy followed by then by a light seen earlier in that battle landed squarely on the infected unit. Bardiel was forced from the Unit-03 and into the sky, where the night became day as concentrated energy blasts landed squarely on the 13th Angel, destroying Bardiel. The crippled Unit-03 fell to the ground, shot up and slightly well done, but repairable and reusable.

The battle was seen by many. The victory came at the cost of one Angel's life and hundreds of humans, but the pilot had and would survive to live another day. To fight would be his decision to make and his alone. The United Nations soldiers erupted into cheers of jubilation of the victory. All four pilots survived and would live to fight another day, but Gendo Ikari was not done yet.

"To the unidentified units, we demand you identification!" he commanded with an authoritarian voice

"This is the Archangel! Why should we do that?" came a sharp female reply.

"By the power invested in me by the United Nations!" was his reply, with a slight smirk on his face.

"The who?" came the response, with sounds of giggling and the failure to hold back a laugh.

Now he was mad! He had just been mocked on an open communication frequency. He waited a couple seconds and then fired back his reply.

"The United Nations Military Command. As well as the United Nations General Assembly. The current leadership during this time of crisis, but if you don't know them, then who do you serve?" he asked plainly, but with a smirk

Soon a picture came up of a woman in a white dress uniform with red markings in a central chair. She had long brown hair, red eyes, and had the air of successful ship's captain. A boy with yellow glasses, brown hair and a blue uniform with white pants sat behind her to her upper left, while a girl with a pink dress uniform with hazel hair and blue eyes sat to her upper right. They seemed to be about 15 years old, while the captain appeared to be in her mid- 20's.

"Oh! That United Nations! And as to WHOM we serve. That's easy, the people of Earth," the captain stated quite plainly.

The two in the back and a few others off camera broke out laughing. They couldn't help themselves. The look on the NERV command personnel was priceless. Then NERV's on radio began to produce muffled giggling that broke out into full laughter. The laughter belonged to NERV's own pilots and some field personnel, as well as the U.N. soldiers. This was not Commander Ikari's day.

Then a young girl's voice broke over the radio. Her voice was sweet and sounded like a melody, but commanded both respect and attention.

"Now, now everyone, we must be going. We don't want to overstay our welcome. Oh, Kira, when you return, can I have a private talk with you?" said the young voice.

"Like where else is Freedom going to get repairs and I'm going to sleep, Lacus," was the boy named Kira, response.

With that, the unknown mecha took off and all, but two returned to the white ship, Archangel. Then one of the mecha landed it turned and the pilot spoke.

"GENDO IKARI! UP YOURS!" the pilot also made the gesture with his mecha, before finishing his landing procedures.

This also produced a round of laughter that even found its way into most of the Command Personnel. Gendo Ikari had just been so thoroughly insulted, mocked, embarrassed, shocked that even his cold, stone like face began to show emotions. He had absolutely no authority over these renegades and a young girl got them to leave battlefield. This was surely not his day.
