Cruel Angel's Thesis Chapter 2: Angel of Water, Sachiel

Inside the main NERV headquarters, Cadence was looking over some new data when Gendo arrived. "I think we have some good news," she said, "We might have located Joseph Joestar." "That's good but we can deal with that after the immediate crisis," Gendo replied," According to the Dead Sea Scrolls the Third Angel is scheduled to arrive later today. I've already made arrangements for our EVA pilots to be brought in." He sighed. "Hopefully all those years of training will pay off." He was extremely glad they were corporately funded. It meant no competition for government money. And the fact that this island was in neutral waters meant no butting heads with the stubborn heads of the JSDF.

Shinji was sitting on the roof of Josuke's house when he felt the presence of an electronic object flying in his direction. A small drone flew right next to him and projected a hologram of his father. 'Shinji. I'm sorry for not picking you up in person, but there are serious matters at Zero Point that require my immediate attention. To be brief, the Angels are due to arrive soon. We already have one of the other pilots here ready to fight it, but in the meantime we're brining in all five of you. You'll be meeting someone who will bring you to NERV headquarters. Her file and photo have been enclosed.' The hologram cut out, and the drone opened to reveal a photo inside.

Shinji frowned at the picture of the woman, whom the file named as Misato Katsuragi. She was leaning over while standing in such a way that revealed ample cleavage. 'Good grief… I hope she's more professional in person.' He hopped off the roof to the ground below. "So you're going then?," Josuke asked, standing just outside the door. "Someone has to deal with these Angels. And once they're dealt with… SEELE's next." "If you encounter any of their agents," Josuke said, "Let 'em know I still owe them for snatching my old man." Shinji smiled as he and Josuke shared a fist bump, then he closed his eyes. "Cruel Angel's Thesis!" His Stand emerged and he flew off for the island of Zero Point.

Meanwhile from the waters at the edge of Zero Point, a huge humanoid creature with a bird-like face in-between its shoulders and exposed ribs rose up from the south. Its appearance triggered several alarms. "Angel confirmed in the southern region!," reported Maya Ibuki, one of the three bridge crew members monitoring all Angel activity. Makoto Hyuga was also there. "Evacuation confirmed. Path is clear for combat zone." "EVA Unit-02 ready for launch," reported Shigeru Aoba. Near the launch point for the giant EVA, Doctor Naoko Akagi was watching her two daughters, Ritsuko and Rei.

Rei was actually a half sister to Ritsuko. Naoko's first husband died in an accident, and she went on a trip to get over it. It was during this trip that she met Wamuu, and the two wound up in a relationship. As it happened, despite technically being two different species, there were enough biological similarities between humans and Gigan that they could interbreed, and Rei was born shortly after the relationship started. It wasn't long before Rei's half-Gigan physiology displayed itself. Her cellular decay was not as slow as a natural Gigan, but it was still slower than a human, to the point where she could conceivably live for centuries.

She still had a human sleep cycle and consumed food in the same manner as a human, but her strength and senses were identical to a Gigan. In addition, under her father's teaching, she eventually developed her own Mode, Lightning in her case. She could manipulate her own cellular structure as easily as any Gigan, and was able to control her nervous system to turn it into a powerful electrical weapon. Her mixed heritage also had the odd side-effect of turning her hair blue. And of course, she could exist in sunlight without burning up. Ritsuko sighed as she looked as Rei's long hair. "You jealous?," Rei snarked, "Maybe you should consider quitting the hair dye. And smoking."

Naoko laughed as Ritsuko reluctantly snuffed out her current cigarette. Rei was decked out in the special plug suit designed to increase control within the EVA, which she stepped inside. "You sure you can deal with him?," Ritsuko asked. "In a few moments," Rei replied, "You'll either know or won't care." Up in the main center, Gendo was watching the countdown. "Looks like it's the moment of truth," said his old friend Kozo Fuyutsuki. "And I find myself more apprehensive than I thought I'd be," Gendo admitted. Fuyutsuki smiled, knowing the reason. Yui was just below them, working with Naoko and Ritsuko on the calculations for the launch.

Shinji had landed on Zero Point and spotted the giant Angel known as Sachiel. "Normally there would be military response right about now," he mused, "Not that conventional weapons could get through the AT Field." The AT Field, or Absolute Terror Field, was a metaphysical barrier that kept all living beings as separate egos. Angels possessed AT Fields strong enough to physically manifest, primarily as a form of defense. Only other metaphysical powers could break through it, such as Stands, Hamon, and especially another AT Field. Shinji pointed his finger at the Angel, his Stand manifesting. "Bang…" The electrical shot easily reached Sachiel, and pierced through the AT Field.

The giant twisted around in confusion, wondering where the damage came from. He couldn't sense anything, but something had definitely managed to poke a hole through his AT Field. "No time to waste on bug bites. I already sense my father somewhere in the depths of this island. And I sense her as well… I wonder which of them sent the signal. Either way, if Lilith is contained by the Lilim, perhaps I can do my father a favor and slay her. He always did regret his actions with her." Suddenly, there was a sound of klaxons going off in the distance.

Through his connection to the water, Sachiel felt something shoot out into the bay behind him, moving very fast. As it reached the shore, it leapt out of the water. Sachiel was shocked. The appearance was similar to his father Adam, but dressed in shining blue armor that was styled like a shark. Unseen by Sachiel, Rei sat within the cockpit, her Lightning Mode active to supercharge the armor worn by Unit-02. The modified armor had proven incompatible with her old Unit-00, which was essentially a prototype. Unit-02 was much more responsive.

This was proven when she was able to direct Unit-02 to slash through Sachiel's AT Field with the fin blades on its arms. "A rather animalistic version of father," Sachiel noted, "But I have to commend the Lilim on perfecting the technology that gave him life to begin with. Still, I cannot let anything get between me and Father." He moved to strike at the EVA, only to have his wrist bitten into by Unit-02's razor teeth. "No swallowing," Rei said to the EVA, "Remember our goal is to retrieve the Angel's core." As if understanding, Unit-02 proceeded to grab the arm it had bitten into, wrenching at it so that it had Sachiel in an armbar.

Sachiel manifested one of his lances and made to attack, only for Unit-02 to duck and bring its leg right up between Sachiel's legs. Sachiel had a feeling that If he had real eyes, they'd be bugging out right now. Shinji couldn't help but wince, holding his own crotch. "Yeah, I can't believe she went there," came a female voice as a car pulled up near him. He recognized the face as Misato. "Misato, right? Glad you wore something more sensible." Misato smirked. "Come on, you can't tell me you didn't enjoy it." "I was raised by a cousin who taught me the importance of respecting women," Shinji pointed out, "I'd rather fantasize over girls my own age."

Misato blinked, but shrugged it off. "Well, we need to get going. Looks like Rei has the Angel well in hand." "She's another of the pilots, right?," Shinji asked as he got in the car. "Yep," Misato replied, "Although she's the first pilot we've discovered, she's officially the Second Child since she was the second to be acclimated to the new EVA system. Though her style is a little unconventional. I mean, does that Angel even have the right anatomy for that attack?" "It's still a bundle of nerves," Shinji pointed out, "That's where the pain really comes from."

They both winced as Unit-02 used its arm blade to stab into Sachiel's knee. "Well, it does have kneecaps," Misato noted, "Scratch that. One kneecap and thousands of tiny floating bone fragments." Unit-02 then grabbed Sachiel, a seconds later there was a massive earthquake when Rei suplexed the Angel. Misato was thrown off and wound up crashing. "Oh man! I'm still making payments on this!" She got out to look at the damage. "Well, the engine still works, but it looks like the battery is dead." "I got it," Shinji said with a smirk, "Cruel Angel's Thesis!" Misato gasped as the engine roared to life. "Just like Shining…" She got back in the car and drove off.

Meanwhile, Rei had managed to pin Sachiel long enough to dig into his chest and pull out the round core that was his source of life. Once she had it, Rei noticed something was happening with the body. Quickly she placed the core down and grabbed the body, throwing it into the air, where it exploded in midair. "Core retrieved," Rei reported, "Remains of Sachiel have self-destructed. Ready to return to base." 'Good timing,' came Gendo's voice, 'My son has just been picked up. We have an important assignment. You're aware that we've located Joseph Joestar. Well, we have a plan to retrieve him.'

At Zero Point, only NERV HQ was not under SEELE control. The rest of the island was a large criminal hideout, the only support SEELE could get since Speedwagon was monopolizing every other avenue. "It's almost sad," Shinji said, "They try to set themselves up as some sort of ancient conspiracy, when in reality they are way over their heads." Shinji was wearing a dark red jacket over his shirt and jeans. Rei had changed into a blue tube top and jeans cut up to the crotch. Her outfit was designed to expose as much skin as possible to facilitate her Mode.

"So we're supposed to grab a carrier to reach the sky citadel above the island," she noted. Said citadel was floating right above them. Shinji placed a hand on her shoulder. "It looks like some local thugs are around the chemical plant where the carriers are." Sure enough, a bunch of goons in masks and hoodies, some with bare torsos and obvious cybernetic limbs, were standing in the way. Rei smirked. "They don't look so tough. First to fifty buys lunch?" Shinji smirked. "You're on!" They immediately leapt at the group, Rei's arms covered in her nerves as electricity crackled along them.

The first thug Shinji punched out exploded like a water balloon filled with blue toothpaste. "Jeez, has SEELE been dipping into bio-engineering? These things look human but they're anything but." A sudden sonic scream tore through the field, destroying several more thugs. "These are Killseekers," came Cadence's voice as she approached, "SEELE's vain attempts at replicating Stand power without the original virus. They tried to reverse-engineer it, and this was as far as they got." A rather giant Executioner leapt down in front of her, carrying a chunk of concrete on a pipe like it was a warhammer.

Cadence didn't bat an eye. "Deathharmonic!" She gave a powerful shout that erupted from her mouth like a beam of energy, cutting off the Executioner's head. Meanwhile Rei and Shinji were cutting down a few Pyro Killseekers armed with flamethrowers and molotovs, as well as a flying platform equipped with more flamethrowers. After the area was cleared, Rei asked, "So who got to fifty first?" "In a moment it won't matter!," came a gruff voice. What looked like a humanoid mech styled like a bull and wielding a jetpack on its back leapt down.

"So you're the ones picked out to battle the Angels," the mech said, "Well my bosses have a set of pilots of their own lined up. The only problem is they have nothing to pilot. So me and some others were custom-tooled with a new power." He reached behind himself, and the jetpack detached to become a jet-powered hammer. "The name's Big Bull! One of sixteen Stand users designed by SEELE to rip you apart! And with my Stand Jet Hammer, you're gonna get nailed!" Shinji chuckled. "You can't be a real Stand user. Can you even see the figure behind me?" Big Bull tilted his head in confusion. "What's supposed be behind you?"

"His Stand of course," Cadence noted, "As a Stand user myself I can see it. But you can't, even though you supposedly have a Stand of your own. That Jet Hammer of yours certainly has the right energy, but it's purely artificial, since you're not glowing with the same energy." Big Bull growled in anger. "I'll show you energy! Jet Hammer!" He whirled around as his Jet Hammer fired off, the three heroes dodging out of the way. Rei charged up her nerves until they were at maximum juice. "Ionic Storm!" She clapped her hands together, created a shockwave that sent lightning surging across the air, impacting on Big Bull and shorting out his mechanical body.

Barely managing to not shut down, he slammed the ground with his fist. "Ah! Bullshit… Bullshit! This power wasn't supposed to be this vulnerable! I need to get back for a tune up, but I will be back!" And with that, he raced off, using his jetpack and some wheels on his feet. "At least we have him off our backs," Shinji noted, "And look. We found the carrier." Sure enough, not far from where Big Bull had run off to, there was a large flying carrier. "Perfect," Cadence said, "I'll contact NERV and we can head for the sky citadel. We'll get Joseph back yet."

So yeah, now we have Cadence's Stand. Here's the deal with it.

Deathharmonic (Song by Dethklok)
User: Cadence Dashell
Ability: Infused into Cadence's vocal chords, Deathharmonic can unleash powerful sonic distortions when activated. These can either be waves or beams, depending on whether Cadence is aiming for a group or individual, and can be maintained for as long as Cadence can keep her voice active. The Stand has no defensive options other than taking out an attacker, and Cadence has to stand still while her Stand is active, which can leave her wide open.
Power: A
Speed: A
Range: A
Durability: C
Precision: C
Potential: E

I won't be including details on the artificial Stands, since those aren't actually real and have no abilities beyond attacking with various elemental strikes. Read and review.
