Neon Genesis Evangelion: End of the Millennium
Part 1: Interference
Author's Note: I don't own Evangelion or Gainax. I also didn't create the Dervish, which was created by Christian Conkle for his Dragon Knights 2050 RPG Campaign. I did, however, create the Modular Upgrade System for the Dervish. The Sound Energy System was inspired by Macross 7.
Enough of this. Time for the story.

Tokyo-3, 2015
During the battle with the 15th Angel
Asuka Langely Soyru was in pain. Memories that were long buried were being dug up again. And again. And again. The angel was raping her mind. She was in a state of shock, as her past and her pain flashed through her mind again and again.
Then she heard music. Softly, but it was there. Then the pain in her mind began to fade. Slowly, surely. But it was there. She looked. There was something holding her. It looked like..but that was preposterous. But it was. Another EVA, not one belonging to NERV. How was that possible?
"C'mon, Dervish, give me a lock, for the pilot's sake, give me a lock!" Chris looked up, his plug suit straining with the effort. Watching the target cursor. Finally, the tone sounded, the cursor turned blood red, and he prepared to fire. He was thankful that the Sound Energy Unit had worked, protecting 02's pilot as well as him. He pointed the unit's hand at the center of the target cursor. "Die."
Asuka looked as one hand left the embrace of her EVA. It pointed at the sky. And fired an energy beam of incredible proportions. It cut through air and cloud, closing in on its target.
"What is that thing? And what is it doing?" Misato Katsuragi asked of the control room in general.
"Apparently, someone thinks NERV isn't doing a good enough job defeating the angels," one of the techs piped up.
"Energy beam is of unknown composition. Much stronger than anything we have."
"Beam will impact with angel in five..four.three..two..one..."
The screens flared white as the beam impacted. When the screen cleared, there was nothing left of the angel.
Chris released 02 and engaged the jets on the Dervish's back. He sped up and headed for home. He looked back, wondering who the pilot of 02 was, and what that person looked like.
It was the day after the battle with the fifteenth angel, and the Pilot's class was getting a surprise-A transfer student. From America.
Asuka glanced at Shinji the Baka, noticing that he didn't seem to care either way. She looked at Rei, but couldn't find any emotion in her at all. That wasn't unusual-Rei's displays of emotion were few and far between.
Asuka was intrigued, however. What could possibly motivate an American student to move to what just happened to be the most dangerous spot on Earth? It made no sense to her.
"Class," The teacher began, snapping Asuka out of her reverie, "I'd like to introduce Chris O'Brien. He's going to be here until-"The teacher glanced at the unkempt youth, who simply responded with, "As long as I need to be." The teacher didn't try to get an explanation for the response. "Very well, Mr. O'Brien, you can sit next to Ms. Soyru. Asuka, can you stand up please?"
Asuka stood up, look at Chris as he walked past her. He was tall, over six foot, and wore glasses. [Dumb baka,] she thought, [Why doesn't he get contacts?] Chris sat down, paying little attention to Asuka, or the class in general for that matter.
"What kind of a response was that? 'As long as I need to be'? What do you mean?" Asuka asked Chris. He looked up from his papers long enough to cast a shaded glance at Asuka. "The kind of response that you don't need to be concerned about."
Asuka shivered at the comment. This Chris was certainly very cold. But why? Most people were usually pretty warm, considering the circumstances they had to put up with. But Chris, he was like an artic wind..
Two days later, Chris was no warmer towards the rest of the class. Asuka had gotten through the ice. What surprised her the most was his reaction to the fact that she piloted unit 02. He was warm enough, but Asuka couldn't help that he was keeping something from her.
It was expressed in that fact that he seemed to take some degree of amusement from her wondering who the "White Knight" who had saved her three days ago was. The small smiles. It just confused her.
She shook her head, preparing to help Rei and Shinji battle the sixteenth angel. She was little worried, of course, of a repeat of last time. But she was also excited. Excited at the prospect of her white knight appearing again. She sighed dreamily.
"Asuka! Mind in the now!" Misato snapped over the com. Asuka snapped forward. Concentrating on the shape, the white ring in front of her. That was one other thing she could never understand. It did, however, go straight after Rei. Almost as though she was attracting it. Asuka charged forward, trying to be chivalrous for once, only to bounce off the angel's AT field, damaging 02 in the process. Next thing she knew, there was a silhouette overhead. Asuka had seen it in her dreams plenty of times to this point.
It was her white knight.
Chris knew his aim was true. He set free unit 00 in one quick strike of his beam sword. He noted the reactor readings were a little unstable. He powered down the sword and watched the readings level off.
He knew that he had only a limited amount of time before the angel would try again. He backed off and fired his beam cannons. He thanked the fates that the multiple adaptor unit was holding together for once.
He pierced the AT field and lightly damaged the angel. It swung in his direction. "God, no.."
He didn't see Asuka getting her positron rifle ready.
Asuka noticed that her white knight was in trouble. Reacting quickly, she swung up her positron rifle, and opened up on the angel through the crack her hero had made. The angel staggered, and Shinji and Rei joined the assault.
The angel fell to pieces. Dissolved, to be more correct. "Well," came a familiar voice over the com for Asuka and the other pilots. "It looks like we're even."
Asuka was shocked. The other pilots were stunned into silence, but Asuka managed a strangled "Chris?"
The Dervish simply nodded.
The Next Day:
Asuka ran up to Chris in the hall at school. Pulled him around. "Chris..Why didn't you tell me?" Asuka asked. Chris shrugged. "I didn't think you needed to know. I didn't want you to worry."
Asuka grabbed both his hands. "Well, I am worried. Because Commander Ikari is demanding that you quit interfering in NERV operations-"
"Forget it. I'm interfering on behalf of the entire human race. NERV has plans that don't bode well with me. Or any of my comrades in the Cascadian Free State. So I've been sent here to deal with it."
Asuka drew Chris into an embrace. "Chris, this is almost over. We have one angel left."
Chris returned her embrace. "It doesn't matter. It's not the angels. It's what NERV has planned for after the angels."
Asuka looked up into his deep blue eyes. "What do you mean?"
