Author Notes: Hey guys, I'm currently taking a break from my current fanfics due to writers block and other stuff, so I'll start another fic idea I've written down.
I find that Evangelion has a shortage of gender-flipping fics. There are a small number, and there is a high chance that I've read most of them, and they are all very good – but I just wanted to add another to the list.
Word of Warning: Characters may seem OOC. I profusely apologise before-hand if that's the case, it has already been pointed out to me that I write the characters as OOC, even when I'm trying not to, so this time, I won't really bother as much. So... expect OOCness, but this is a fanfic, written by a fan, so it's highly likely going to be OOC anyway. I will also be completely screwing with the Eva canon timeline, both the original and the rebuild. Also, don't expect a piece of literary art. I possess average writing skills at best, sorry for the inconvenience...
Backstory (so it isn't totally confusing): This takes place after the 10th angel Sahaquiel (the one that fell from the sky and the Evas had to catch...). The Angels have not returned within 3 months, and during that time Pilots Mari Makinami and Kaworu Nagisa have both arrived in Tokyo-3 with Eva Units 08 and 06 respectively to provide backup. All the pilots have attended school as normal as well as intensive sync and simulation training with the Evas, but as the weeks drag on and on, no Angel is in sight. The Pilots are starting to get a little tired of their routines so, in an attempt to get some official leave time, Misato had the bright idea to take the Pilots and their friends out for the weekend and skip any sync tests during that time.
Please review, but I hope no-one flames. I received something slightly akin to a flame before and it really dampened my writing motivation, so I hope no-one finds this too bad. I'm still quite new to writing and I'm still improving.
Anyway, lets have a go at this, shall we?
Disclaimer: I do not own Evangelion, nor anything relating to it. But I so wish I did!
It was Saturday in Tokyo-3. The Sun was shining, the flowers were blooming, the cicadas were chirping... and an Eva Pilot was moaning.
"Misato... Misato!.. Scheisse, MISATO!" A certain beloved red-head screamed.
"Yes, Asuka darling?" Misato said, intentionally trying to further irritate the volatile German.
"Tell us again, why you are dragging us all to some dumb amusement park?" Asuka said through gritted teeth.
"Isn't it obvious? You guys have all been working so hard, I thought we'd all go out and have some fun. It is the Weekend after all, and you're all still young!" she said cheerfully.
"But did we have to bring EVERYONE we know?!" Asuka gestured behind them to the entire entourage accompanying them.
Alongside Misato and Asuka at the front of the group was Shinji, Rei, Kaworu, Mari, Toji, Kensuke and Hikari. Shinji was trying to make what little conversation he could with Rei while Kaworu floated within close proximity, Mari was incessantly teasing Kensuke and Toji and Hikari were having an awkward conversation that mostly consisted of silence and partial glances at each other when the other wasn't looking.
"Why, the more the merrier Asuka!" Misato cheered.
Asuka just turned away from Misato with a huff as the large group continued to walk down the street towards the newly opened amusement park in Tokyo-3.
"I'm sure we're all going to have lots of fun, right guys?" Misato called back to the others.
Shinji turned from his short conversation with Rei to nervously nod his approval, Rei was silent, Kaworu nonchalantly gave Misato a thumbs up, Mari cheered, Kensuke tried to edge away from Mari and Toji and Hikari remained quiet at the back.
"C'mon guys, lighten up! Be more like Mari, she's got the right attitude!" Misato whined.
"Lets just get this day over with already... I should have stayed in bed today." Asuka grumbled.
The day, overall, was a success. The group, after Mari and Hikari convinced Asuka to lighten up, went on Roller-coasters, Haunted Houses, more Roller-coasters per Mari's request, Water Rides, Spinning Rides and more rides.
It was now sunset as the group purchased Ice Creams and visited Misato and Shinji's favourite spot overlooking Tokyo-3.
"Well today was fun, wasn't it guys?" Misato asked.
"It was the best!" Mari squealed.
"It was alright..." Asuka mumbled.
"Um... I liked it..." Shinji said meekly.
"It was adequate." Rei stated in monotone.
"Well, I enjoyed myself." Kaworu said as he intertwined both his hands behind his head.
"I had loads of fun." Hikari said bashfully.
"The rides were cool! And it was awesome getting to spend time with Eva Pilots!" Kensuke gushed,
"Today was pretty good, we should do it again sometime." Toji said with a grin.
Misato smiled as she stared out at Tokyo-3 as the sun set, "Glad to hear it."
The group was silent for a while as they enjoyed their Ice Creams and the view.
However, the tranquillity of the scene was shattered as Angel sirens started going off.
"An Angel attack!" Misato, Asuka and Mari shouted in sync.
"We need to get you five to NERV, now!" Misato shouted hurriedly as she led them towards the nearest NERV entrance as Toji, Kensuke and Hikari headed off by themselves to the nearest shelter.
"Why does an Angel have to attack now? Its nearly the end of the day!" Asuka moaned.
"I'll be sure to file a complaint personally to the Angel's time management department." Misato said sarcastically.
Asuka continued to moan in German as Mari giggled at Misato's remark.
The group was rapidly approaching the nearest NERV entrance, when a bright yellow light flashed before them. Everyone stopped in their tracks as they gazed up at a large figure, 5 times their size, blocking their route to NERV. Hovering metres above the ground, was a large creature eerily reminiscent of a Jellyfish. Long, stringy, pale blue tentacles dangled from a large transparent bulky body shaped as a mushroom top. Protruding from the mushroom top were more tentacles that gently swayed about in a suspended state, like grass being blown by a gentle breeze, and at the tips of these tentacles were glowing red claws. Right within the centre of the creature was a glowing red orb, the Angel's core.
Everyone froze as they tried to figure out how they could get around the creature and survive to the Eva cages. That was when Section 2 personnel appeared on the scene and open fired at the Angel, attempting to draw the Angel's attention away from the Pilots and Tactical Commander. The bullets were all deflected by an AT-Field, rendering Section 2's efforts useless. In a last ditch attempt, Misato placed herself in front of the Pilots and aimed her own weapon directly at the Angel.
"You're not harming any of these Children." Misato growled as she pulled the trigger of the weapon.
As expected, Misato's bullets were deflected by the Angel's AT-Field. As her weapon clicked, signalling that all her bullets had been discarded, the Angel flicked it's tentacle and dislodged Misato's gun from her hand. Then the creature began to slowly advance on the group as they started to back away slowly. The situation was looking grim, and the group had decided that it was unlikely that they were going to make it to NERV, or even tomorrow, in one piece. That was when Rei stepped in front of everyone.
Everyone turned to watch Rei as she raised her hand towards the Angel, in a defiant gesture. No-one knew what to expect as Rei stood her ground as the Angel continued to advance.
Once the Angel was less than a metre away from Rei, she spoke.
"I have been ordered to protect my fellow pilots." She paused as she narrowed her eyes and her voice dropped into a menacing tone, showing a rare display of emotion, "I will follow my orders."
Everyone was briefly confused as to what Rei could do, until she raised her hand above her head, and then brought it down in a downward arc. As she did this, a wave of orange energy expelled forward from Rei in the shape of an energy slash. Rei had deployed her AT-Field.
The others were shocked as Rei's AT-Field tore straight through the Angels and sliced right through the main body of the Angel. The Angel let out an ear piercing scream as it's tentacles flailed in the air. Rei collapsed onto one knee; deploying her AT-Field so suddenly and with so much power took a lot of energy on her part. She stared up at the Angel as it continued screaming and thrashing. That was when the Angel started glowing the same shade of orange as an AT-Field. The Angel advanced again, much like a suicide bomber charging at their target in the last few moments of their life. The group scrambled to get as far away from the Angel as they could, but before they even got the chance, the Angel let out one final scream before it disintegrated into a ball of orange and exploded.
