A/N: I apologize deeply for the late update on the story, I've had a lot of projects my teacher are having us do all of a sudden(Because apparently we "didn't have any time" for any of this career project crap in school), and I've been getting a lot of inspiration for writing another Code Geass story (This time I actually know what I'm writing unlike the first time). Though that shall wait as I plan on completing this one first.

Neon Genesis Evangelion, the End of Evangelion, and the Rebuild of Evangelion are owned by Hideaki Anno and written by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto. I own no elements from the original Manga, TV show, or Rebuild and EOE films but my OC's.

That said, Please Enjoy The Show!

Chapter 10: NEVEC

NEVEC Stormbreaker, Old Tokyo-3

The command center of Stormbreaker was large for normal command deck standard, with a center command platform surrounded by several floor all connecting to the sides of the bridge or front glass frame. Multiple men and women rushed by or spoke rapidly, with the emergency alarms finally shutting down to give some silence. "What's our status on…?"

"Cat-L Akrid moving to western sector!"

"Unit-05 had dealt with the third Chryatis Cat-G…."

"Main cannons now reloading!"

"Shields holding, all remaining Anti-Akrid cannons fire at the…."

"Wolfpac configuration now at 80% completion!"

"And EURO Heurtebiza?" Aboard the Stormbreaker's command platform stood a man in his mid-twenties. He had black hair with lime green eyes, wearing a tight black long sleeve with black and white cargo pants. On his beast pocket was the word 'NEVEC' with the insignia above it. The logo was designed like an X with its top lines having three lings connected out with a small diamond above the logo. "How's Anno's EVA coming along?"

"We'll have it done in 10 minutes tops, five if we rush the Air System here as soon as possible!" A voice called through the comm link.

"Copy, report in when you're done."

"You got it, Col." Let's hope we can last out that long, Geno Suveraji thought to himself. If we lose this position, we'll be sitting ducks for that damn Cat-G we lost getting here, or worse the other Akrid that hit NEOS… Hopefully it can't find us-

"Colonel, we've got incoming!" The large glass front windows magnified in form, locking onto a plethora of objects moving forward. They weren't much to see; similar to the body of a scorpion, they processed two large scorpion like tails for arms with large four claws as their ends, with legs now replaced by pale white wings. He head was nowhere to be seen, as the main body had tough skin across its usually open to see black eyes. "Akrid, Cat-L's; Moythric type!"

"Damn, bring all front cannons to full power!" Geno issued, with the center platform descending to the second floor. Geno easily marched to the closet radar technicians station, looking with the worker as multiple clusters of red dots began converging towards the Stormbreaker's center dot. "Son of a bitch, these Akrid are clever aren't they? Watch all sides of the ship, knowing them they'll be aiming for our Thermal Energy supply tanks!"

"Yes sir."

"Understood, sir!"

"Jerald, you'd better have Heurtebiza up and running in a few seconds, at best." Geno warned into his collar comm. No response, which only helped to worsen Geno's annoyance. "Jerald!"

"You can't rush life or death killing machine production, Gen. You know that~!"

"Oh yes I sure as hell can!"

"This is EVA-US Wolfpac, I'm done and heading out!" Another voice called out through the ships main communication channels.

"Solid copy, Sorani. Give them hell, and help defend that damn hole!" Geno reinforced, before moving away from the radar techs station. Outside the bridge, small and large bullets and explosions ripped apart the slowly darkening blue sky, with Stormbreaker and Wunder firing on all direction. At the underbelly of the Stormbreaker, a large object rushed out from its opening. This object was a rather large machine, dwarfing the size of the common Evangelion as it was designed feline almost, like that of a wolf and cat combination.

It was for the most silver colored with five sharp claws on all paws with the main body covered by wolf like fur. Small armor pieces covered the main body was well as the seemingly organic and metal fused legs, with a metal tail at the back with a sharp point. Finally its head, which was cat like in designed with sharp EVA designed teeth and jaw, connected to its back where the Entry Plug cover sat next to 2 pairs of EVA restriction energy cells on either side. On the side of the left hind leg was the NEVEC symbol, with the words 'US WOLFPAC' on either hind legs ankle sides.

The Wolfpac roared loudly as it crashed down into the surface, looking towards the occupation before it. The Akrid weren't much luckily against Sorani's EVA, mostly just Ermmild, GoreVorgg, and Tangaant. The Tangaant were scorpion in designer, with six legs, a large tail with a poisonous tip and large skin armor at its font with glowing blue wavers on it. Underneath the 'head' was a pair of arms ending with sharp points like the tail as well.

The Ermmild were probably the weakest of the group, slug like with an arrow like head connected to its inner body, which was surrounded by skin armor like most Akrid. Though they were slow, they packed a punch a times and were half the size of Wolfpac and normal Akrid.

Then there was the GoreVorgg, which seemed like a fusion of a crab and rhino. With stone colored skin it processed a large crap like left arm and a deformed right arm at the front, close to protect its mutated rhino like face, which was already covered by armor spikes and a twisted mouth. Connected to its head was a large back seeming almost like ripped apart snail shell, connected to its five unarmored legs in a spider like formation.

"Damn this might be tougher than I thought," inside Wolfpac's Entry Plug, another young woman sat inside, hands gripping the controls tightly in deep thought. Well, not really young as she was close to 20, but still considered young in the NEVEC command line. She had short red hair which ended just below her neck and slowly turned bright blue at the end, with green eyes to match her NEVEC pilot suit. "Hopefully this doesn't end too badly…."

Wolfpac roared violently before it jumped high and fast into the occupation, tearing right though any Akrid unfortunate to get in its way. The Ermmild and Tangaant were pathetically simply to bypass, it was the GoreVorgg that stood as the 'guardian' of the opening. It rushed forward with alarming speed, screeching as it rammed into Wolfpac's legs. The EVA hybrid dodged to the side, turning around in time to latch its teeth onto one of the GoreVorgg's legs.

The GoreVorgg in response ran in all directions, ripping past its Akrid siblings to get the giant off of it. Finally it did as it rammed head first into one of the old structures that remained after THN, sending Wolfpac flying only closer to its goal. "Musashi, how ae you holding up?"

"Could be a lot more, ngh a lot more better!" Unit-07 jumped and dodged seemingly everything, firing its wrist rifle and cutting past anything trying to get in. "If only WILLE was willing to let their EVA's come down and fight, not leave us to do their damn dirty work!"

"Yeah, that'll probably never happen with Katsuragi in control," came the reply.

"Oh calm down you two," Mana's voice replied though the comms. "It's not that bad!"

"Yeah, not bad for you Mana! Considering you're below this giant battle going on!"

"Touché."

"Yeah… Speaking of which, how's it going down there huh?" Musashi asked as Unit-07 jumped into the air once more.

"Good so far, managed to find SI, along with some interesting new EVA's we'll be having on the team," Mana replied, somewhat hesitantly before muttering to herself. "Man, Mk.-06 and Mark.-09 on our side with Unit-13 as backup? This day just got a whole lot better!"

"Too all forces in the area, we have a high speed object moving through the airspace," this communication can from, surprisingly, Wunder's Vice-Captain Ritsuko. "MAGI confirms it's an Akrid."

"Must be that damn thing that tore through NEOS earlier then!" Sorani snapped, her Wolfpac finally making the high jump and landing close to Unit-07 and the entry point, sending Akrid and old wreckage flying. "Where is it? Where is that thi-AGH!"

Wolfpac was suddenly sent flying into the large opening as said Akrid crashed with an explosive wave of energy. The wave burned apart any unfortunate Akrid, though Unit-07 was luckily saved by its booster systems on its legs. In the center of the implosion was a large creature at least twice the size of the Wolfpac, with large wings that seemingly frightened any other Akrid in the area. "What the hell, the Akrid are… retreating?" Musashi uttered in confusion, and slight fear as he looked towards this new Akrid.

It was dragon like, with long spikes going down its neck all the way to its long tail, ending with 3 spikes on either side on the tail end. Its front legs were long, with ankles ending with hoof like stubs and sharp curving spikes close to the knee parts close to the upper arm like area of its body. Its legs were velociraptor, though shorter than the larger legs with stub endings as well. Finally there was the head, with a large horn above three pairs of red eyes. Its neck was long and like its body had spikes atop the neck, connected to the head which already had 4 long spikes, two on either side of the head and another lower two pointing slightly downwards.

The creature's eyes pulsed, before it let its mouth loose with a twisted scream. The lower jaw split into 4 tendrils as it roared, with the lower half of the neck splitting apart to reveal 6 arm like sharp claws that waved in the air. "Son of a bitch, it's huge!" Musashi yelled out, rushing back as the unidentified Akrid looked towards his EVA. His Unit-07 barely made it away as one of the creatures stubs slammed into the ground, sending his EVA flying into the air. "Augh!"

"Musashi? Musashi, Sorani respond!" Mana cried out over the comms, Musashi was already unconscious from the harsh blow done by the Akrid.

Lilith's Chamber, Old Geo-Front

"Damnit," Mana groaned, slamming her fist into the all of the Entry Plug with fear and anger. They hadn't anticipated the Akrid being able to find them, but it was clear the thing was a loose cannon and well known by the other Akrid. Something able to send Akrid running in terror? Mana thought back to Musashi's last transmission with concern. That's not good, especially if it's an Akrid or Angel and not a human weapon…

Unit-13 and Mark.09, meanwhile, stood on guard surrounded by GoreVorgg corpses as Kaworu continuously tried reactivating the Mark.06. After Unit-13's soul was revealed, Kaworu immediately got to the task of trying to bring the Mark.06 back online. He'd only managed to get the Entry Plug systems active and the outer camera feeds online, but not the EVA itself unfortunately.

As for Mana, she'd gotten into the chamber just as Unit's 02 and 08 entered the tunnel leading up to New NERV HQ. They'd been there for almost a good 15 minutes at best before Unit-13's mouth sudden opened "Forget… Mark.06." The voice that came out was robotic yet somewhat human and loose with its wording, though it was still understandable for the most. "Must… ascend to Storm…. Will take Mark.06 as well…."

"I agree, we've wasted enough time unfortunately." Kaworu concurred, the Entry Plug of Mk.06 escaping the neck as the Fifth Child exited and looked to the group of large machines. "Leliel has managed to completely wreck the inner systems of this EVA, so we will have to rebuild it if we are to have it on the battlefield once more.

"Alright then," Mana had TRIDENT quickly turned towards the Unit-13 and the Mk.09 in question, though Mark.09 was the only one that looked to the larger mecha. "Which one of you will take this thing home then?"

"I will…." Unit-13 stated, its inner armed once more extending as the giant walked towards the downed Mark.06. Kaworu quickly moved back into his previous EVA's Entry Plug as Unit-13 pulled it up, adjusting the predecessor close to its shoulder pylon. "Have more speed and RS Hoppers…. More powerful defense…."

"Alright then, guess we got a plan." Mana replied, looking to the Mark.09 with hesitance. While it was true she liked having more Evangelions on their side, that didn't necessarily make the Mark.09 a good guy. But still, Gendo had clearly had her for a means to an end, so she really didn't have anywhere or anyone else to go to but NEVEC or WILLE. "Mark.09 pilot, you and I will provide support if Unit-13's RS Hoppers go south, so keep that scythe of yours at the ready!"

"Understood." Rei Q replied, fixed the Entry Plug's internal system. While she did have major control of her EVA, the head and outer camera feeds were slightly damaged during the skirmish before. "I will try my best to keep up."

"Good," Mana quickly switched communications, more specifically the Stormbreaker's visual comm link. "Stormbreaker, this is TRI-01. We're heading back up, over."

"Acknowledged, be careful heading here Mana. We're facing an unidentified Akrid." Suveraji replied, turning away as the NEVEC cruiser shook violently with an Akrid screech and explosion sounds in the background. "Get the A.T Field active, immediately! And have EURO Heurtebiza begin covering support with the southern wing!"

"Understood." TRIDENT's thrusters quickly kicked back to life as Unit-13's second pair of RS Hoppers came to life and rushed into the sky, tearing at anything that could slow the group down. As Unit-13 quickly began climbing upwards, TRIDENT glanced to Mark.09 and a Spear of Longinus not far from its position. "Hey, Mark.09? Bring one of the Spears with us, will ya? Might need it when we meet up with that Akrid up top!"

"Yes, Ma'am." Mark.09 steadily walked towards the Spear, taking the red spiraling lance up before jumping upwards. Almost with ease, the Mark.09 began cutting into the wall and climbing upwards. TRIDENT quickly followed suite, firing rounds and missiles into the walls to force the opening larger than before.

The more closer they got back to the surface, the more communications began yelling and screaming, which only fed more concern to Mana. The Akrid had managed to rip right through NEOS, which was already reinforced multiple times for obvious reasons. And yet it didn't bother to stop and simply burn the space base, far from it the Akrid tried to follow them back into the Pacific Ocean with that damn Red-Eye Akrid….

Just what the hell is going on? The redhead thought silently, glaring upwards to the light that escaped from the far opening. All this happens just as we get SI back from NERV, and Unit-01 returns from stasis… And with not Fourth Impact activating you'd think the Akrid would settle with what remaining Thermal Energy there was…. Unless the Akrid are somehow all connected to this specific Akrid or realize something is going on that we don't know about….

"Alright, how do you like this?!" Musashi screamed in rage, throwing his Lance right into the Akrid's waving neck. The demon creature roared as orange liquid began spewing out like blood, its eyes darting before it jumped high into the air. Its front legs began suddenly glowing white and before Unit-07 could jump as well, its feet slammed cruelly into the ground. "Son of a bitch, a shockwave attack?!"

The already unstable ground exploded and send Unit-07 back, but the blue Evangelion's pilot was not willing to go down so easily, not when they were this close! The Akrid roared as its wings spread out, ready to pounce onto its target. Before it could even begin flying, Wolfpac once more jumped into the fray. "I won't let your freak race take anyone else!" Sorani yelled out, pushing her EVA hybrids controls beyond before as the giant animal rushed onto the Akrid.

The Akrid and Wolfpac seemingly fell into a dog vs dog fight, though with Wolfpac's speed it was relatively hard for the giant creature to grab it. All of a sudden another spear, this time a blade like cross connecting to a silver staff ripped right through the neck of the Akrid and into one of the wings of the creature.

"Sorry I'm late, had to deal with those damn flying Akrid earlier." That voice came from upwards, revealing an Evangelion similarly designed to WILLE's Unit-02. The humanoid was completely light grey, with the main chest and torso similar to the concept behind the Unit-04 from old NERV US, though with the NEVEC logo implanted onto the center piece. Its shoulder pylons also remained, though with an inner red design on them and with a more curved layout. The head also retained Unit-02'd design, though light grey to match the armor color and red eyes, the only real difference in visual design was the forehead was smoothed out unlike Unit-02's original orange crescent piece.

Though this EVA, unlike most before it, was gifted with flight thanks to NEVEC's flight system. The system was a pair of short curving wings connected by a large back piece and onto the EVA's center back area. On either wing were vent like openings with two large propeller like thrusters on either side. This EVA was NEVEC's EVA EURO Heurtebize, the only known EVA so far able to fly.

"Ugh, goddamn it V-02 always late as ever!" Sorani growled, jumping onto the Akrid's secondary wing as Heurtebize charged forward. It easily spun and landed a harsh kick to the Akrid's face, ripping apart its crown like armor to expose its inner orange skin. "Just how many times are you going to be late, huh?"

"Be grateful I was even able to fly here, I could be back at home just chilling and drinking coffee as usual," the pilot of Heurtebize was a young man with silver eyes and white hair, wearing a silver and chrome EVA Plugsuit with small tubed connected underneath its armpits, the forearms and shoulder blades. "This thing, Akrid X, it's the one from space right?"

"Really? Akrid X, that's the best name command came up with?" Musashi asked as his Unit-07 began raining back bullets onto the giant.

"Oh they didn't make it, I did!" V-02 replied sheepishly, before his EVA gave a whirl of fury as it rushed forward. "Hey Sor, jump!"

Wolfpac quickly jumped at the EURO EVA slammed its feet into Akrid X, the neck giving a twisted loud snap at the monster was sent flying. Sorani shivered and twitched at the noise, groaning loudly as she covered her ears "God I hate that noise!" She cried, before her EVA was suddenly tugged backwards. "Huh?"

The NEVEC pilot looked to see TRIDENT now holding onto her EVA by its metal jaw, rushing upwards with Unit-13 now close behind. "Mana?! The heck are you doing, the Akrid is back that way!"

"All EVA forces, return to Stormbreaker immediately." Colonel Geno's voice suddenly came up across the many communication lines. "Command's calling for an immediate recall. We're pulling out!"

"Roger." Heurtebize's engines flared to life loudly, and with little to no haste as it quickly took it and Unit-07's lance and spear, before rushing by the Mark.09 and taking it up. Rei Q's EVA showed surprise but it was quickly blocked out by V-02's voice. "Don't worry, I got you!"

"R…Right…" That voice, Rei Q thought to herself. It's so… familiar and so…

"This is… Shiro Ikari, NEVEC Stormbreaker Commander and pilot of Unit-13…. I'm ordering full withdraw back to NEVEC Headquarters immediately, Geno. On the double!"

"Yes sir!" Suveragi's reply came, and with an extra message at the end. "And Shiro…. It's good to have you back…. You know?"

Inside Unit-13's secondary Entry Plug was now a figure, with short cut hair and sky blue eyes smiled. He wore an old NERV EVA Plugsuit, with a leather jacket with the NERV US logo and NEVEC insignia on its front. He was Shiro Ikari, brother of Shinji and second in command of NEVEC. "Good to be back."

Shiro laid back slightly, sighing in relief as he looked to his brother who laid safely asleep in the other Entry Plug. "Shinji, brother…" the Ex-Sixth Child uttered, placing a hand to the Plug's side as his eyes began watering. "You're alive…. I'm so happy…."

A/N: I should say that the WOLFPAC and HEURTEBIZE are actual Evangelion's you can find on the internet, and though they were not used in the series or Rebuild I figured it was nice to show other EVA's aside from the original cast of humanoid machines.

That said, this is the KnightOfZ3R0 signing off!
