Chapter 3 : Falling from the sky, walking through the sea, rising to the land
Asuka ran one way, Viking bolted the other way. Both were looking for weapons, particuallry the machine gun Viking had lost. As Viking's Iron Clad ran towards the metal structure indented in the ground, he unknowinly had all the JDDSF attention aimed at him instead of Eva unit 2. Explosions immediatly surrounded the Iron Clad as it ran foward towards the make shitf foxhole of metal. With a great heave, Viking leapt into the metal rectangle in the ground with such a pose that he almost pulled off a split second superman, landing with his hands over the face of the Iron Clad as some of the shells landed in the hole with him. Again the artillery did as the deph charges just moments ago, a huge strike at once and then silence. Viking looked in front of him and saw metal object in the hole with him.
"Yes! My gun- wait a minute" Viking exclaimed, but then realized it was his great axe that got loose from him earlier.
"DAMN" He yelled as the Iron Clad raised its fist in the air with dissapoinement, but then heard over his radio in a playful female voice "Hey soldier boy looking for this"?
Viking sat up and looked over in the disntance and saw Eva Unit 2 holding the machine gun in its hands, Asuka had the smile of victory on her lips.
I glarred over at my red friend in the distance and yelled "BITCH" over the radio as I made hand jestures in the air towards her. She laughed at this and replied "Well that's what you get for being a pervert, stupid. Now come on, get out of there before they have a chance to reload" Asuka said in a calm voice.
"Sure thing commander big red" Viking said as the Iron Clad got into a step up position getting out of the metal rectangle. There was a whistle in the air, followed by a explosion that landed directly in the metal hole that Viking was halfway out of. Asuka saw as the metal giant disapeard in smoke and explosions that shook the ground. As the smoke cleared, she expecting to find him knocked on his ass complaining about his ears ringing. But as the smoke cleared he wasn't there, just a huge crater carved into the other side of the metal rectangle, smoke and black streaks were all on it with heat waves coming off it.
"Scheisse! Where did that come from" Asuka asked more suprised then ever. "Hey kid you ok" she asked over the radio, but silence and static filled the air. "Hey dumbass i'm not playing these communication games again, you dead or alive" she asked peturbed over the radio, but still no answer. She then looked over to her right aways and saw the Iron Clad on its stomach with smoke coming out its back.
Viking was in a haze, his ears still ringing like a church bell, and had extreme vertigo where he felt like he was just in avalanche. He desperatly placed his hands on inside of the cockpit trying to find something to hold onto for fear of him falling out, doing the same with his feet. But that's when he heard a voice shoot straight to his head through all the ringing. "Get up, you're not gona die any time soon" it said. The same voice he heard back in Russia when he was sitting there looking at his entrails as he was dying. The same skeleton voice that talked to him back then was here again now. Viking took his helmet off, closed his eyes for a minute while taking deep breathes, then opened his eyes back up. The ringing had gone away, so did the vertigo. He sat there looking around and then heard over the radio "Hey Viking, wake up, come on wake up" in a female voice. He then proceeded putting his helmet back on and got ready for combat.
"What just happened" Viking asked Asuka as he was coming back to the world.
"You mean besides you getting your ass blasted halfway across the planet, nothing" she responded, then asked if I was ok.
"Yeah i'm fine- what the hell" Viking replied suprised at something. He looked over at the Iron Clads left hand and realized its pinky finger had gotten blown off.
"Tank Walker this is Puffs Brother, do you copy over" suddenly came over Vikings com link. His heart then jumped for joy, the AC-130's hade arrived.
"YES SIR I COPY OVER! Am I ever glad to hear you guys" Viking replied to the radio operator.
"Where the hell have you been, we've been up here for 20 minutes waiting for you, we were fixing to leave until we saw you and your friend come running out of the water. Where you need us to point our guns, over".
"How about every where but me and big red over here" Viking told them as he pointed towards Unti 2. Asuka was confused with all the military talk but figured there was fixing to more explosions.
"Roger that Tank Walker, better hold onto something because the ground is fixing to start shaking" and with that the AC-130's tilted into a arch aiming their guns towards the ground and started firing.
"Hell yeah lets do this" Viking said over the radio. He had the perfect song for the situation. He pulled out his labtop inside and started playing "Sodom - Magic Dragon".
Asuka looked up towards the sky and saw as the 5 gunships arched towards the ground and saw red streaks come from them as they unleashed hell upon the JDDSF on the ground. She saw as explosions tore apart the oposistion that just a few minutes ago, were un-opposed and in control of the land.
On the ground tanks were torn apart like cardboard, soldiers were fleeing for what ever cover they could find, but there was no use as they were turned a red mush as they were torn down from the miniguns aboard the gunships. The cannons blasted whatever was in their path, leaving behind flames and metal skeletons of tanks and vehicles. As she witnessed all this she heard over her radio from Vikings Iron Clad the lyrics to "Magic Dragon";
"Night into day when flare bombs detonate to burn the sky Magic Dragon Pilots circle their machines as eagles in the sky
Our hostile positions are made out there is no place to hide
The AC-47 send their flames from all the barrels
6000 shots per minute to make a hill all level
Let sheets of fire hail down the base
Magic Dragon
A crucial test the enemy will never raise
Magic Dragon
Spit tracer bullets expose our hiding place
Magic Dragon
Iron monsters destroy with rage
Navigator tactical warfare they know the reason why
Because their orders are clear: Crush them to win the war
There was litteraly a cirle of smoke and fire around the mechs, and still the gunships spat out what ever they had. Low flying air craft were mowed down with out a 2nd thought from their predetors up high. The AC-130's couldn't be touched with what ever the JDDSF had on the ground, the only way they could have taken them out is if they had jets at the ready, but they were already long gone called back to their base.
Asuka watched without remorse as she saw the hell fire rain upon the enemy force with out mercy, the same mercilessness that was shown to the Nerv staff who were gunned as they tried surrendering, begging for their lives. But then she remembered her goodbye to Misato. "I hope all you bastards die" she said to her self as she watched the flames on the ground burn and get bigger as dirt was flown up into the air like water splashes. The noise and gun fire from the AC-130's soon died down as they had run out of ammo.
"Tank Walker this is Puff's Brother, we are heading back to base to re-arm and re-fuel. The Marines from Okinawa should be here shortly, so if you're gona terrorize the ground forces make sure it's not the Leather Necks, over", came over the radio.
"We got it from here, thanks for the assisst in giving these guys a asswhooping, hope you guys have a safe trip back now and hope to hear from you soon, my thanks, along with Big Reds, is very grateful. And don't worry I won't play God with my mech on my fellow soldiers, over and out" Viking said to the gunship pilots as they flew back to base, tipping their wings on the planes saying "goodbye". "So what do you feel like doing now" Viking asked Asuka.
"Got to stop Seele from initating 3rd Impact is what we need to do, but I haven't a clue where to start, maby we just stopped them just now with that areal bombardment, who knowes". Asuka then looked over at the Iron Clad. Viking was fidgeting with its left hand where the pinky got blown off and was looking around to see if it might have been around somewhere. She laughed to herself at this spectacle.
"Ah forget you too pinky! Come on Asuka lets finish up around here, think you might be able to give me the grand tour of Tokyo 3 when we get a chance, show me the tittie bars so I can plunder them" Viking said with aggravation over the loss of the small digit (digits are a medical term for toes and fingers).
"Why are we partners again" Asuka asked blankly at his perverted remark. She walked over his way when a giant shadow flew over head. She looked straight up and immediatly saw a group of giant Eva transport planes flying from the same altitude as the previous AC-130's. From out of these transport craft came white Eva's that shot out a wings with a greater span than the length of the planes that carried them. Each of the white Eva's carried cummbersome metal blades that were almost as tall as them.
The white Eva's decended half way and started flying in a circle above Asuka and Viking, as if they were vultures circling dead prey. Asuka took aim began to raise the machine gun up in the air to start shooting, but not before Viking turned the gun down with his hand and said "Let them land first so you don't waist bullets, 3 magazines might not be enough for these things". A wet substance fell on Unit 2's right shoulder from the white Eva's, drool and saliva. The Eva Series then decended down one by one to the ground in a perfect order; shaking the ground beneath their feet, surrounding Talos and Unit 2.
"I got 4 over on my end" Asuka said.
"Counted 5 over here" Viking said holding up 4 fingers on his left managed to get both his grenda axes while looking for his pinky moments ago.
"I don't know about you soldier boy, but i'm ready for some action", and with that Asuka aimed the machine gun at the white Eva in front of her and mowed it down, severing its legs off at the knees.
"Oorah" Viking said as he charged the 5 Eva's in front of him with the great axe in the Iron Clads hands. He jumped in the air with the axe over his head and sent it crashing down into the head of the 4th Eva Series on his right, slamming it down threw its head like a knife threw bread, down threw its chest, stopped at the top of its stomach (it was a miracle he didn't cut it in half down the middle). As he pulled the axe out of the dead Eva Series, its intestines came out with the great axe. A fight for survival had now begun.
