Chapter 3: Besiege for Tokyo-3
Evangelion Unit-01 Cage, NERV HQ
The red liquid was released from Unit 01's tank, slowly revealing Unit 01's humanoid like body. Like the head, its body possessed purple with bright green armor plating, and a very humanoid look in physical design. It had a large backpack like armor piece, metal forearm covers only on the back of the forearm knee caps, and metal shoe like feet. The front Unit 01's neck was yellow; as if lit inside for the pilot to see through. "Third Cooling Cycle is complete!"
"Flywheel rotation shutdown."
"Connectors are unlocking…. Now!"
"Auxiliary power is stable!"
"Shutdown Signal Plug extraction complete."
"Roger, inserting the Entry Plug now." Behind Unit 01's head, the neck opened to reveal a circular slot. A mechanical arm slowly descended to allow a white cylinder like plug to enter the slot. "Spinal conductive network has been unlocked, and we're now prepared for the connection."
Shinji felt the Entry Plug shutter as it entered the EVA. He started weighting his odds against this Angel: he could come out victorious, a few scratches here and there….
Or he'd die. He hadn't any experience, nor training of the sort which only added in making him feel worse in his stomach. The cons clearly outweighed that of the pros; but it was clear these people were desperate to change the tide of this occupation against the Angels.
Losing wasn't an option for them at this point. "Prime sync is established with Eva and pilot. Psychological corruption values now within acceptable range."
"Maintaining range between plus-02 and minus-05."
"We're locking the interior array." Outside the Entry Plug, Unit 01's back closed back onto the frame, covering the Entry plug and allowing the head to return in an upright position. Unit-01's dull yellow eyes opened, as if awakening from slumber. "First contact is complete!"
Inside, Shinji sat in the teenage size seat, holding the controls with the 'A-10 Connectors' in his hair when felt something moving up his legs. "We're flooding the Entry Plug." A voice stated, while Shinji looked to see an orange lime liquid quickly rising above his legs and the controls.
"W-What the hell?!" Was all Shinji could stake before he pulled big breath of air in as the liquid went over his head.
"Relax, Shinji." Ritsuko's voice came from the Entry Plug's communication system. "The liquid, or LCL, is oxygenized, you have trouble breathing it."
Shinji mentally sighed. This day just keeps getting better, he thought as is released his breath of air. HE chocked for a moment on the liquid as if filled his lungs. Tastes like blood….
"God, this liquid tastes like blood…." He murmured, sadly not going unnoticed by Misato.
"Oh grow up! You're a man!" she called out.
"I'm sorry, are you in the giant robot?" Shinji asked abruptly calmly.
"Well… No, but-"
"Then you don't get a say for what I can and can't say!" Shinji sharply replied, making Misato sigh. This was going to be a long war with this kids' fast to shift attitude. The Entry Plug's circular walls flashed a multitude of colors before finally fading back. The walls came to life to show the outside of the EVA, and how high Shinji was. It was like a glass window to him, only he was seeing through the eyes of a giant.
Unit-01's shoulder restraints and back restraints moved away, along with the front platform before the face; allowing it to be pulled back towards a largely open wall. Above the EVA, several metal doors opened to allow visual of a rather large tube that would lead to the Tokyo-3's city center.
Command Center
"A-10 Nerve Connections are steady!"
"LCL ionization normal, and the Linguistic Norm for the Cognitive Interface has been completely set for Japanese."
"Communications lines open."
"Points on the list are up to 1405, all clear."
"Synchronization rate is at 41.3%!" Ritsuko exclaimed, shocked at how fast Shinji was able to synch with the EVA. "And he's not even in a Plugsuit; it's amazing!"
"Harmonica are at steady levels. Everything's all set, ma'am." Maya Ibuki, one of the three main technician under Dr. Akagi's command, reported to both her and Lt. Colonel Katsuragi.
"Unit-01 has now arrived Launch Terminal Hub K-12, the Launch tube is all clear! We're all set!" 1'st Lieutenant Hyuga Makoto reported. Making Misato turn to the Commander and Sub-Commander behind them.
"Sir, we're all set; do you wish to deploy?" Misato asked the still Commander.
"Yes," He states, without hesitation nor fear. "Our only hope for a better future is to defeat the Angels with Evangelion. We must succeed."
Misato nodded, not waiting as Sub-Commander Fuyutsuki asked his colleague. "Are you absolutely sure, Ikari?" He asked, though he didn't need to look to see Ikari smirk under his gloved hands.
"EVA Unit-01, LAUNCH!" The Eva was sent through the tube with high speeds, making Shinji shutter in the Entry Plug. The EVA shinned at all the lights it passed, and Shinji breathed in the LCL trying to remain calm.
This was it. Do or die.
Tokyo-3 inner city
Above on the surface, Sachiel wandered silently and calmly. At this point, there was nothing to fight nor destroy; it needed to find a way underground to find the 1st Angel. As if by pure luck, Sachiel turned the corner of a build much larger than itself and looked to see an opening.
The ground gate opened, and out came Eva Unit-01. Silence filled the deathly calm air; both giants staring silently. Sachiel saw its opportunity; opening for it to traverse through. There was only one thing do deal with….
Get rid of the mockery of an Angel before it.
Unit-01 Entry Plug
"Shinji, are you there?" Misato's voice brought the young boy back up, making him stare down the Angel before Unit-01.
"Yeah…. Yeah, I-I'm here." He stated.
"Good; release the final safety locks!" The locking on the EVA's shoulders unlocked and the cage withdrew back underground, letting Unit-01 slouch somewhat forward. "EVA Unit-01, lift off!"
"Alright, Shinji; try concentrating on walking first." Ritsuko explained through the comms, somewhat soothing Shinji's worry. The seat never had any means to how he'd move the EVA's legs, so he finally guess it was either voice commanded something around this. Walk, he thought nervously, unsure if it would work.
Unit-01's right leg lifted up, taking its first step off the metal flooring onto the concrete street. So far so good, Shinji thought with a small smile starting to come up. Walk….
His smile, sadly, vanished as when he thought of walking casually, but the EVA tripped and fell face first onto the pavement. Nevermind, he thought once more, looking up to see….
The Angel stood above Unit-01, above Shinji, with that emotionless, dead stare. "Shinji, get up!" Misato cried out on the comms. Shit, he thought fearfully as the EVA pulled its arm up. Hurry and get up!
Sachiel grasped Unit-01's head, pulling it up to get a better looking of it. Its body shape reminded it of the 1st Angel, which only restarted that need to kill. Using its other arm, Sachiel grabbed the left arm of Unit-01, before breaking its wrist.
Shinji gasped in pain and screamed; it felt like he was the one that got hurt. WHAT THE HELL?! HOW IS IT…?! Shinji felt his head getting bombed by waves of pain as Sachiel started fired that same energy bream from earlier out of its left hand and into Unit-01's head. The energy cracked the hull and metal of Unit-01, finally tearing through the left eye and sending it across the city.
Unit-01 crashed into a building as is head dipped downwards, the still functioning eye shutting off a 'blood' came out of the left.
"Cranial damage, severity is unknown!"
"Operational integrity is compromised!"
"What's the status?!" Misato asked.
"Synchro graph is reverting! Pulse is entering the reflux!"
"Cut all circuits, and block the flow!" Ritsuko ordered, watching the screen Maya sat infront of.
"We can't! The signals getting refused; we can't get through!"
"And Shinji's status?!" Misato asked Hyuga.
"No response from the monitoring system, condition is unknown!" He cried out.
"Unit-01 has gone silent!"
"Abort the operation! Top priority is rescuing the third Child!" Misato ordered, looking to Ritsuko and Maya. "Eject the Entry Plug!"
"We can't!" Maya retorted. "The signal won't respond!"
"WHAT?!"
Shinji found himself running, he didn't know what from but he clear wasn't waiting to find out. He ran as much as he could down a possibly endless road before tripping with a grunt. He flashed around and blink in horror at what he saw. A creature, almost humanoid with an odd head design and green eyes stared at him. Its left eye was gouged out, as is burned….
Shinji screamed in horror at the creature which chirred at him darkly, screaming for something, anything to help. He unknowingly, outside his dream, got a response.
The blood stream from Unit-01's eye finally stopped, and the right eye pulsed a bright yellow-white like color. Its mouth opened to reveal its inner mouth restraints, to which it forced open to show its humanoid like teeth.
In a far deep underground place, on the literal other side of the world a lone EVA and its pilot sat in silence. The EVA growled as if happy while its pilot smirked under his helmet.
"Eva unit-01 has reactivated!"
Impossible, has it gone…?"
"Yes, EVA has gone berserk!" Ritsuko gasped out, watching as Unit-01 gave a roar of rage, and preformed an impossible summersault off the ground and onto Sachiel's chest. Sachiel was completely unprepared for the attack, thinking it'd already finish off the creature. It tried pushing Unit-01 off, but Unit-01 simply jumped to the ground, spun on its heel and charged again.
Sachiel, this time, was prepared as it had raised a hexagonal like glass shield with Unit-01 impacted onto. Unit-01 growled and roared, trying to enter the field.
"An AT Field?!" Ritsuko gasped out.
"But, that means…" Misato whispered. "If it has an AT Field, then…."
"Unit-01 can't kill the Angel!"
Unit-01 stepped back, lifting its broken left wrist. Red flesh like meat glowed on the opened, and the left arm's wrist snapped back into place. Unit-01 dug its fingers into the AT Field's center, slowly using its own AT Field to neutralize both Sachiel and its own. The AT Field was ripped apart by Unit-01, but sadly as Sachiel fired a powerful beam of energy which sent Unit-02 sailing across Tokyo-3. The beam, while it send Unit-01 back, create a cross like design before fading.
It meant nothing as Unit-01 jumped the far distance back onto Sachiel, sending them both sprawling forward into another building. Sachiel laid on the floor, pulling both arms up in an attempt to stop Unit-01. Unit-01 managed to grab both Sachiel's wrists and snap them apart with one hand, before it begun to beat and rip apart the rib-cage like covering protecting the red core.
Sachiel gave a pained scream as Unit-01 ripped of a rib like bone, and screamed painfully louder as it started using the same bone to crack the core. It realized now that this fight was over; but that didn't mean it couldn't drag the 1st Angel copycat along with it. Using whatever strength it could, Sachiel jumped off the ground and wrapped its fastly expanding body around Unit-01. Its core glowed before exploding beside Unit-01 head, bringing them both into a powerful explosion.
NERV HQ shook as the explosion above, revealing it to have formed a large bright cross of energy with a rainbow behind its shimmering form. Misato and the other watched in shock, horrified at the Angels suicide attempt to kill Unit-01. "What… What's Unit-01's status?" She asked, watching the central screen return from static to reveal Unit-01 stalking out with ease.
The whole of Command was silent, either holding their gasps and or cries of shock from shock, surprise…. Or fear. "Is this…" Ritsuko murmured as she watched her own project, her own life's work, walk with a look of murder in its eyes.
"EVA's true form?" Misato finished, too scared to even consider the idea of Shinji doing this damage. They did now, however, notice Commander Ikari had hive mouth above his hands, a barely noticeable smile on his face.
"What will we name them?"
"If it's a boy, Shinji. If it's a girl, Rei."
"Shinji…. Rei….."
"Shinji…... Shinji…. Ayanami?"
"Rei… Rei…. Ikari?"
"No….." Another voice spoke up, twisted and different than bother older voices. "Rei…. Ayanami!"
Shinji gasped in air, looking from left to right with sweat dripping down his head sides. He groaned, he felt numb all across his body, most of all his head. Forcing himself up, he found himself lying on a hospital bed in a hospital gown, in an empty room beside a row of bright windows. He breathed in air; those dreams, they'd felt so real. To real for that matter, Shinji thought, a sigh escaping his lips as he lay back down. Different ceiling, this is so weird.
