Chapter 50: Eaten

A/N- Yes! Fifty Chapters! You want to know the best part? I have enough ideas to make at least fifty more! I already know how this story is going to end…

"What are you talking about? What is SEELE?" Asuka finally spoke up.

"Forget it. Engage the target!" Of course Gendo didn't want to explain himself. He will tell us later, I'll make sure of it.

"If you say so!" Gahiji started to run towards the monsters, while he ran, he put both hands on the spikes on his back and pulled them out. Turns out that they are twin-blades, even I had to admit, that was pretty cool. He jumped on top of one of the Eva's shoulders, then leaped off again… taking the head with it. The decapitated Eva stood still before starting to move again, "Ah! The hell?" a few seconds later, a pile of flesh popped out of its neck, then formed a head.

"What… how… how are supposed to beat something that can do that!" Sam was right, if these things can regenerate, how WILL we win? Wait… I think I have an idea.

"Hey! We have to all attack one at once, tear it apart! Don't leave one piece still in tact!" they all followed my order and all at once, we all landed on the newly regenerated Eva. I just tore at it randomly, others used a knife, Asuka just stood back. Soon, parts of this white monster littered the streets.

"I… think its dead…" Akagi was disgusted at what we just did, but it did work.

"It sure as hell better be!" Asuka was still on the side lines, just as I had hoped.

"Asuka! Move!" Asuka turned to my warning to see one of the white Evas. It grabbed her and jumped into the air. While in free fall, it sprouted wings of light and flew off. The Eva flew over to the others and dropped her. "Asuka! Run!" she tried to get up, but was struck down. All of the white Evas gathered around her, then an ear-piercing scream came from her.

"Ah crap!" Gahiji drew his blades again and ran towards her. One of the Evas popped up and kicked him away. I noticed that the Eva's mouth was covered in blood.

"There eating her! There eating Asuka!" Cass was now running to them, and I joined him. we both got over to them and pulled at their limbs, ripping a few off. I got a quick glimpse of Unit 02; all of its armor was torn off, now showing a bare, bloody under-shell. The limbs we tore off grew back quickly, and then we were knocked away.

"That won't work!" Gendo was the king of the obvious! Sam grabbed an SMG and fired away at the group. For once, they backed off. A few of them had limbs in their mouths, while others had blood leaking from the mouth. But one in particular caught my eye, it had the entry plug! I ran full speed to it and tacked it. After grabbing the plug, I threw it into a nearby lake. She should be safe there.

"Your mine!" I tear at it until – just like before – nothing was left. "Akagi! Is Asuka okay!" I was really worried now.

"Yeah, she's fine, just a little shaken up. Keep on fighting!" so we all did. Each of us took one Eva and tore them up pretty easily. Now there were only four left, and I thought it would be pretty easy, but of course, nothing is ever easy. The remaining four gathered together, linked arms, and charged at us. At first, it just seemed like a simple game of red-rover, but when they got close to us, a blinding light came.

"Ah! I can't see!" We were literally fighting blind now. I felt a few punches being thrown at me.

"Oh grow up!" Of course Sam was okay! She was still fighting one of them with ease! I tried to fight back, but it was really useless. I threw a punch, but then I felt a tight grip on my extended arm.

"Shinji! Get out of there!" soon I realized that it was biting me. I felt a striking pain, and my arm went limp. It tore my arm off! How are we going to beat these things?

"Sam! Any pointers would really be appreciated!" Cass was obviously fighting one to, and obviously getting beat.

"Yeah, don't get eaten! Look, just move like water, keep your movements unpredictable. It's easy!" I try it, and it actually works! I didn't get hit for awhile, and I even landed a few punches. Soon I found myself on top of it, once again tearing at it. Now there was only three left. I couldn't help anyone else simply because I couldn't find them!

"Okay, got him!" sounds like Cass was done with his. Gahiji was still fighting, but it sounded like he was winning.

"You're taking too long! Move!" Sam cut in and finished it off within seconds.

"There, we're done, now how do we get back?" I was still blinded and I had no idea how to get back to NERV.

"Just eject, we'll get the Evas later," following Akagi's orders, we eject. A few hours later, they retrieved us and we were all sent to the hospital.

NERV Hospital – 6:00

"I don't even know why I'm here, I can see now! Is anyone listening?" obviously not. I was in a room with an unconscious Asuka in the bed next to mine. She was okay and – as Ritsuko said – so was the baby. I had been in here for an hour now, excluding the time I was asleep. I heard Asuka stir in her bed, "You awake?"

"Uh… huh…" at least she could talk.

"How do you feel? You were beat up pretty bad," she slowly opened her eyes half-way and looked at me.

"I feel… like crap… you?" there's Asuka! Sarcastic even after that happened.

"Heh… not exactly great, but okay. Do you remember what happened?" she shook her head, "All the better. Try to get some rest, looks like we're both going to be in here for awhile." She closed her eyes again and drifted off to sleep. A couple of minutes later, Ritsuko walked in.

"Hey Shinji. How do you feel? Can you see yet?" Did she not just hear me yelling!

"Yeah, I can. Can I go now?" she shook her head, "Why not!"

"Because I need to talk with you. Today was too close. Asuka could have easily lost the baby. We need to tell Gendo, even if he does freak out. If he knows, I'm sure that he will put her on suspension, and this won't happen again. Sure, the baby is fine now, but what about next time?" she was right, but how could we tell him?

"Fine… but how will we do it? I mean, he's not the easiest person to talk to," she shrugs.

"Dunno, I guess just go up to him and spill it. Just be up-front with him. 'I got Asuka pregnant. She can't pilot anymore.' Sounds pretty good to me," that sounded good!

"Well… if there's no other way, fine. Okay, now that we've got that established, can I go NOW?" once again, she shakes her head.

"No, you're still recovering. If you don't believe me, try to move the arm that got bit off," I try and see that I can't move it, "don't worry, you're not paralyzed. Just relax and you should have control over it by tomorrow." I sigh as she walks out of the room. I try to get some sleep, but I find it extremely hard to do so after what she just got done saying. What if Asuka had lost it? I don't know what I would have done. I push those thoughts out of my mind and TRY to relax, but my mind kept on drifting back to what Gendo said about SEELE. What was it? Why did they attack us? I had to remember to ask him.

A/N- There you go, the entrance of SEELE. Expect a LOT more appearances of them. Do you think Gendo will agree to Shinji's request? When will SEELE make another appearance? Find out in the next chapter; You're Kidding, until then, keep on keepin' on!
