Nanoha Genesis Evangelion

Or, Mecha Girl Lethal Nanoha!

"Oof!" Nanoha grunted in the LCL filled Entry Plug of the Evangelion Unit-01 as the Angel hammered the Evangelion backwards. Focusing her will through the controls she righted the war machine, even as the white plugsuit clad girl's thoughts raced.

It had been a absolutely crazy trip getting to this moment, one that she was still processing. After the death of her family in the Impact Wars Nanoha had been placed in government care, growing up in several foster homes with guardians ranging from caring to apathetic. Just a few days ago she had been told she had been chosen as the Third Child and pilot of Evangelion, and with no warning was summoned to Tokyo-3.

Arriving at the city Nanoha had found it in total lock down, Tokyo-3 awaiting an attack by the Angels. With no running trains or taxi Nanoha stole a car then the teen drove towards where her map told her NERV was, in the process evading a attacking beak faced monster and meeting up with Misato Katsuragi for the first time, Switching cars to Misato's they raced out of the city just as a N2 mine was dropped on the angel.

They survived the shock wave, barely, then the two women raced as fast as possible for NERV. After a short time lost in the bowels of the massive complex (Would it be that hard to make a coherent map? Nanoha and Misato together couldn't make heads or tails of it!) they were rescued by Ritsuko Akagi, and taken to the waiting Evangelion.

'Which is how I got here,' Nanoha thought as she willed the Unit-01 to it's feet, shaking off the pain. She was still getting the hang of just moving this thing, much less fighting, but she was determined to do well at this.

In the command center of NERV the bridge bunnies called out readings and measurements, even as Misato and Ritsuko watched the battle on the monitors. "She's doing better than we expected at this stage," Ritsuko noted, the dyed blonde frowning thoughtfully.

"How does the synch rate compare to Asuka and Rei's?" Misato asked, frowning. She was feeling more than a few pangs of guilt over shoving the girl into Unit-01. Despite being orphaned Nanoha was so sweet and kind...

"Higher than Rei's, lower than Asuka's," Ritsuko said calmly. She snuck a glance at Misato as she quietly said, "We don't have a choice, Misato."

Misato grimaced, "We're sacrificing a war orphan to fight a monster. We had to have better choices than this."

Up on the screen everyone watched the Angel Sachiel charge at Unit-01, the blaster in it's hanbd flaring as it fired. But with surprising agility Unit-01 ducked under the bolt and tacked thje Angel, driving it backward to slam into a building.

"Aaah!" Nanoha yelled as she tacked the Angel, slamming it through the building in a burst of energy. She grappled with it wildly as she growled, "Doesn't this thing have any weapons?"

"Deploying progressive knife from shoulder holster," Maya Ibuki announced, pressing a switch and releasing the weapon.

"About time," Nanoha grabbed the weapon, 'feeling' it in her hand through the link with Unit-01. With a feral yell she drove the blade into the alien's flesh, making it cry out in pain as it scrambled backwards.

"Attack the core," Misato yelled, "the red orb on it's chest! That will kill it!"

Nanoha nodded grimly then charged, blade at the ready. But Sachiel anticipated the direct attack and evaded, grabbing Unit-01 by the head. "Oh no," Ritsuko murmured as Sachiel's energy attack blasted Nanoha in the face once, then again.

"Can we use the city's weapon to...," Misato started.

"They're too near," Makoto yelped, the young man looking deeply frustrated.

Then suddenly, the battered Unit-01 wrenched free, staggering sideways as it tried to recover from the injury. The Evangelion's facial armor was literally dented in, and no one in the control room wanted to imagine what kind of pain the pilot was in.

In the Entry Plug Nanoha was panting in pain, her whole head aching like she had been hit with a hammer. She focused past the pain, gritting her teeth as she growled out, "Mister Angel, that wasn't very NICE!"

No one had yet seen a Evangelion leap like they just did now, the AT Field flexing as Nanoha somehow threw heself up and then down onto the Angel like a living rocket. The blow staggered Sachiel even as Unit-01 began to tear into it's armor like it was paper.

Gendo Ikari frowned as he watched from the elevated balcony above the control room. "Has it gone bezerk?" he murmured questioningly.

"No," Kozo shook his head, the older man watching wise eyed, "that's the girl's doing."

The core was exposed as the Angel struggled, Nanboha pinning it down one handed as she recovered the knife. With a furious cry she struck, the blade piercing the core as she and Sachiel were engulfed in a powerful explosion.

There was a worried moment as they watched the cross like explosion blaze across Tokyo-3, then a sigh of relief as Unit-01 emerged from the devestation. There was a crackling hiss of static, and everyone paused worriedly.

"This is Nanoha Takamachi," the surprisingly firm voice came out of the static, "reporting the Angel has been destroyed."

There were cheers in the command center, cries of relief and joy. Only Gendo looked unhappy, frowning as his yellow glasses caught the light. Quietly he murmured to himself, "This is going to complicate the scenario."

Suddenly the Evangelion staggered a bit as Nanoha continued faintly, "Oooh. I don't feel so good." And with only those words as warning Unit-01 keeled over, even as the staff at NERV scrambled to recover the mecha and pilot.

Misato Katsuragi studied the young woman laying in the hospital bed, trying to reconcile the sweet, cheerful child she had met with the fury that had been unleashed against the Angel. Admittedly she had known how to hotwire a car, implying a somewhat rough life, but Misato had been completely taken by surprise when Nanoha leaped on the Angel and proceeded to tear it apart with her bare hands.

Ritsuko theorized that something in the Evangelion itself had risen up and saved the girl, but Misato didn't buy it. Nanoha had been rational both before and after the fight, and Misato would have expected her to be incoherent if the Evangelion took over somehow. No, it seemed Nanoha's pure determination had let her shrug off blinding pain, attack the Angel and rip it to shreds.

Nanoha stirred on the bed, twisting slightly in the sheets then she stiffened, looking up at the ceiling in confusion. Misato knocked on the door and then opened it up, politely calling out, "Nanoha? Are you awake?"

"Yes," Nanoha sat up, the sheets falling away to show the pajamas that the hospital had provided. She looked around blearily, some of her brown hair standing up in a cute little cowlick.

Misato was instantly struck by how adorably cute the child was, even as she sat beside her on the mattress. "How are you feeling?" she asked gently.

Nanoha actually smiled faintly, "Like I was punched in the head repeatedly."

Misato winced as she patted Nanoha's hand. "It's the control system for the Evangelion," she noted "if Unit-01 is injured, you feel it too."She hesitated a moment, then Misato quietly asked, "Do you remember what happened?"

Nanoha sat there quietly a moment, then looked up at Misato with haunted eyes. "Every second," she admitted, sounding horrified, "how could I DO that? I tore that thing apart! That poor Angel..."

As tears began to fall Misato reached out and hugged Nanoha, pulling the crying girl close to her and letting her sob. "There there," she murmured, patting her shoulder as she cried herself out.

Hiccuping softly Nanoha finally pulled back, then managed a weak smile. "I'm sorry for falling apart like that," she said sheepishly.

"It's all right," Misato said, smiling. "I know you feel terrible about what you did," she said quietly, "but you also saved a lot of lives."

"I know," Nanoha wiped at her eyes, "it's just... I didn't know I had that kind of violence within me. It's kind of hard to take."

"I understand," Misato agreed, remembering her army training, and the first time she had ever shot someone. Getting up she ordered, "Rest up, Nanoha, I'll get you out of here tomorrow."

Nanoha sat back, sighing as she answered, "Thank you."

Misato closed the door behind her, looking up to see Ritsuko standing nearby, a look of studied innocence on the blonde's face. "Were you listening in?" Misato asked with a sigh.

"Would I do that?" Ritsuko asked with false innocence.

Misato gave her a flat look then sighed. "What do you think?" she asked as they walked towards the elevators.

"She's fucking scary," Ritsuko said flatly, "her synch scores peaked higher than Asuka ever gets, she bodily ripped a Angel apart yet she's also..."

"A sweet, kind little girl," Misato nodded slightly. She put her hands in her jacket pockets, "Can you dig into her background for me?"

"Certainly," Ritsuko looked at her curiously as they reached the elevator, both women pausing there for a moment, "but why?"

Misato shrugged slightly and said, "Nanoha was able to hot wire a car to get out of the middle of the town and head to NERV. And you don't get that... determined all on your own. I want to know what events shaped her."

"I'll do what I can," Ritsuko nodded as she hit the button for the elevator. "You know how we let her borrow one of Rei's plugsuits?" she said with a faint smile.

"Yeah?" Misato asked curiously.

"After she beat the crap out of the angel and survived the explosion, it seems the staff has given her a nickname," Ritsuko looked amused as she added, "the White Devil."

"White Devil, huh?" Misato shook her head ruefully, then thought of some of the slow motion images from the Entry Plug, the almost feral smile on Nanoha's face. "Maybe that fits after all," she admitted as the elevator opened.

Gendo Ikari nodded coolly to them, then without a word strode past. Misato turned to see him briefly look into Nanoha's room, then continue on to see the previously injured Rei Ayanami.

Looking at Gendo Ritsuko asked Misato quietly, "Have you decided what to do with Nanoha once she's out of the hospital?"

"I thought about putting her in a suite like Rei," Misato conceded, "but..."

"She doesn't really seem the type to like living alone," Ritsuko noted. She looked at Misato with a slight smile, "You have a spare room, don't you?"

"Oh no," Misato quickly said, "I am not the sort of person you want to be taking care of a kid." She looked thoughtful for a minute, "But I do know someone with a spare room..."

The next morning Nanoha got up, glad to be out of bed. Once she was dressed in her street clothes she met with Misato and another young woman. "Hello," Nanoha nodded nervously.

"Nanoha, this is Maya Ibuki," Misato introduced the other woman with a smile, "you'll be staying with her for a while."

To be continued...?

Notes: This is mostly a experiment to take a teenaged Nanoha and toss her into Evangelion. Dunno if I'll continue it, tho the idea amuses me.
