-CHAPTER 6-
"DESTRUCTION"
-------------
--------
8:34
--------
Soldiers piled through the hallways. After grabbing rifles and
grenades from the armory cases, they rushed from their position and
headed directly to the command center. Red emergency lights filled the
corridors with a bloody sheen. The Alarm rose high above the shouts of
the men, grunting in anticipation of battle. Bulkheads dropped down
over entrances, hermetically sealing them and anyone inside. As the
steel doors shut, the soldiers flooded by them in their relentless
pursuit. As the men piled through the hall the ring in their ears
swelled as they approached each emergency alarm, screaming in the
echoing hallway. The troops rushed into stairways and proceeded deeper
into the cavity of the Geofront. An army seeped through headquarters,
like water through a sponge, ready to envelope anything it came in
contact with. NERV personnel were thrown away to the side, as the
grunts continued pursuit.
Meanwhile, their target, walked to the command center, above the MAGI.
She looked out, as the bridge crew retreated to the hallway, knowing
that in a few moments, the center would be a warzone. Only Fuyutsuki
remained in his place, exactly where Rei was headed to, the center of
command. Rei approached the commander, the case in her hand. In the
deafening scream of the alarm, even in the flood of red light, which he
knew that Rei hated. Fuyutsuki could not help but notice how calm she
was, as she approached. Like she was beyond all the chaos that
surrounded. Rei walked right up to the commander, and looked him
square in eyes.
"Commander, please move to one side."
"What are you doing Rei?"
Fuyutsuki was leaning on the guard wall high above the command center.
He knew that Rei had both ability and will to push him right over the
edge, plunging him down onto the unforgiving metal floor below. Rei,
However, only lifted her hand, to gently touch his arm. She made, a
slow easing motion, and brisked the commander to the side. Her hand
moved with the ease of a feather. The AT field in front of it pushed
with the force of a moving mountain. Rei stepped forward to the guard
wall, and placed her hands upon it. She looked out over the command
center. The Alarm was still blaring at full strength. The light was
still red as blood, and the valley of concrete below the command center
enhanced both of these terrible stimuli.
Rei crouched down, and dusted off an old electrical socket, used for
a makeshift computer control. She set the case aside and brought her
pointer finger to her mouth as her tongue gently licked the tip of it.
She brought the finger to the socket.
BAM
An electrical force jumped from her finger with the intensity of a gun-
shot. The blue spark surged through the network of cable under the
Geofront. From the point where Rei had put her finger, light after
light died away into blackness. One by one the alarms silenced.
The soldiers, so determined to go into combat, fell over on top of one
another in the hallways. In the pitch black they came tumbling down the
staircases, collapsing in huge piles at their landings. The armys
progression came to a halt.
There was silence,
There was darkness.
Rei stood up, and peered over the command center. It was all as black
as pitch. Rei shut her eyes. When she opened them, a calm blue light
seemed to develop from all around. The center sparkled with the color
of moonlight, bouncing off of ocean waves. All through Central Dogma,
the light generated. It seemed to come from no-where, but it filled
every corridor, and every stairway. The soldiers stood up in the eerie
light, mesmerised.
Back at the command center, Rei knelt down and grasped the case. She
took in a deep breath. As she exhaled, slowly, a strange music began
to fill the Geofront. It was a gentle tapping, like the fall of rain-
drops, surrounded by soothing chords, as though stars began to appear
from behind unforgiving clouds. Rei stood up upon the very wall
itself, looking down over the MAGI and the concrete valley. She
eased one foot over the precipice, then pushed off the wall with her
other. She slowly drifted down to the bridge.
"Angel came down from Heaven yesterday..."
Rei touched her feet to the bridge surface.
"She stayed with me just long enough to rescue me."
Rei walked to the edge of the lower bride, and looked over into the
Concrete valley.
"And, she told me a story yesterday..."
Again, she stood upon the guard wall, gazing into the valley as though
it was filled with water.
"About the sweet love between the moon, and the deep blue sea..."
She pushed herself from the wall, and floated out away from the
command center. She stopped over the center of the valley.
"And then she spread her wings, high over me..."
As Rei remained there, the first battalion of troops entered the
command center. They quickly pushed aside Fuyutsuki, and aimed their
guns at the angel, who had extended her arms out, like an angel.
"She said she's goin' home. Come back tomorrow..."
The machine guns began to volley out their intense strikes. Bullet
after bullet ripped through the air, and indented useless upon her
AT field.
"And I said, 'Fly on, my sweet angel.'"
A cross of light blasted from Rei. Beams of energy powered forth, over
her head, at her arms, and at her legs. The cross blasting downward,
through the concrete.
"Fly on through the sky."
The cross withdrew, and the angels' slim figure, began to drift down
to the puncture she had made.
"Fly on, my sweet angel."
Yellow streaks of whizzing bullets, dove down to be met by a crimson
AT field. Rei continued to descend in the valley of the blue light.
"Tomorrow, I'm gonna be by your side."
Rei dove below the opening. Here was a coned sub-structure, that held
the command center in place. It appeared as a vast cathedral,
glistening in the blue light.
Rei spotted what she was looking for, a tall column running down from
Central Dogma. It had the appearance of a spine, and it dove all the
way down in the shimmering abyss. She followed it down on its path
to Terminal Dogma. the trip took some time, but she did arrive at the
effective bottom of the backbone. It was sealed all around by
monitoring equipment, and steel supports. Rei let out a cross of fire,
and made her way down inside.
"Sure enough, this morning; came home to me."
In the center of the room, was a tube where she had spent many hours,
according to HIS wishes. Here, she had waited patiently, as Gendo
spoke of this room, and Rei; together, the key to it all. No more
"Silver wings silhouette against a child's sunrise."
Rei let loose with an explosive AT field blast, that shattered all of
the glass in the room. To Reis' surprise, the walls shattered, and
out flowed L.C.L. and human forms.
"And my angel, she said unto me..."
Rei looked at the faces of the forms, and saw her own face staring back
at her. She said not a word, only scowled in hatred.
"Today is the day for you to rise."
She swiped her hand before the husks. Each one au masse was thrown
backwards, smashed against the walls and shredded upon broken glass.
"Take my hand, your gonna be my man, goin' to rise."
Rei stared at the broken forms of herself. She hated it all. As her
Gaze grew darker, the L.C.L. began to boil. It suddenly burst into
flames, and consumed everything.
"And then she took me high over yonder, Lord."
The whole room exploded in fire, as Rei destroyed all of the false
creations that Gendo made for himself. Now she, and only she was Rei
Ayanami. Above, the huge column of Nerve central toppled from being
violently blasted out of it's base. The very backbone of NERV came
tumbling downward.
"And I said "Fly on, my sweet angel."
From the destruction, Rei soared upward. The case, still, tightly
clenched in her grip. Below her, the column fell into the very bottom
of Terminal Dogma, below the gate of heaven.
"Fly on through the sky."
As pieces of the spine fell to her, she batted them away with her AT
field. Her body constantly jinked and maneuvered as debris was cast
down upon her. Her ruby eyes remained focused, however, and she
continued upward, undaunted.
"Fly on, my sweet angel."
She flew upward at intense speed, the sea blue world blurring beside
her. The Backbone pulled from it's socket, at the base of the Dogma
Pyramid, leaving a gaping hole.
"Forever, I'm gonna be by your side."
Though the opening under the concrete valley, Rei shot forth again. She
was now in the same place where she had started. The soldiers had
left, either evacuated or perhaps even trying to peruse, and going
deeper underground. Either way, they had lost. Gendo had lost. NERV
is no more. Rei had taken her revenge on Ikari, and had assured
mankind's freedom in years to come. As the music continued on,
ascending to the heavens, Rei floated back to the bridge, and set her
feet on solid ground once more. The music died away, the light
faded to blackness, and Rei smiled, as the underground night
enshrouded her.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"I can't do it!"
"You have to do it."
"The central power cable has been cut. All link to the generators in
terminal dogma are gone. We are running off of minimal power from
Emergency battery supply."
"Listen to me, you bitch. That Angel has just single handedly wiped
out everything in NERV headquarters. SEELE will be making a move
before nightfall. That angel must be destroyed. Launch the EVAs
immediately."
"With what?"
"What do you think?"
Ritsuko froze, and looked over at units one and two in the combat
chamber. Gendo was calling down the wrath of God.
"But, sir, they haven't been tested yet."
"My patience is the only thing being tested right now, and I will not
tolerate any more insubordination. So help me, if you do not launch
those EVAs, I will burn you. I will burn you alive, you understand?
Get those EVAs topside by any means necessary."
Gendo hung up the comm link. Ritsuko stood there in a cold sweat.
There was no hesitation in his words. She knew he meant every word
he had said.
"YOU BASTARD!" She threw the phone across the room. The next few
moments were a blur in her mind. When she looked up, the chairs
were overturned, the consoles were almost all destroyed, and there was
a gash on her right hand.
She wrapped the wound in her lab coat and stepped up to one of the last
consoles that remained undamaged.

mind.

Ritsuko pushed the monitor over, and it shattered in to pieces on the
floor. She collapsed onto the computer unit, and burst into tears.
Back in his office, Gendo saw the two units activate on his computer
screen and he smiled triumphantly. His revenge was close at hand.
He quickly linked his computer to the EVAs subunits.
"Pilot Ikari, Pilot Soryou, an Angel has penetrated this installation.
It has already damaged %90 of NERVs operating capacity. If this angel
is not destroyed, third impact is a certainty. You must succeed in
this mission, understood?"
"Yes, sir." said Shinji, coldly
"Understood." spoke Asuka, very nearly in a disrespectful tone. With
the events of last night, neither of the two had much respect for the
commander.
"Very well. The angel's last known location was terminal dogma I
believe it to be travelling to the surface. Roll out on foot, and
position yourself for Tokyo-03 intercept. That is all."
The comm link cut off, and the EVAs began the journey out of the
Geofront.
Gendo sat at his desk. He watched the EVAs' progression upwards, and
out of the Geofront. He was so intent on making sure that the EVAs
got up to Tokyo-03, that he never moved from his desk. He only sat
there, watching the slow and steady movements of EVAs one and two
through the sub-structure. He mumbled words of revenge and destruction
towards Rei. He was now deep in the grasp of obsession, and would not
move from that spot. He never left that room, and never budged from
that spot, locked before his computer screen. This is too bad for
him.
Rei walked through the corridor, and strolled right pass the entrance
to Commander Ikaris' office. She continued through the hallway,
unchallenged. All of the military personnel were heading either out,
or down to the destruction that was Terminal Dogma. Rei felt odd,
she knew that all of Tokyo-03 was looking for her, and yet there was
no-one around. She was all alone in the open corridor. She made her
way through the staircases and halls until she reached the door where
she had first entered. The door was locked, but she merely looked at
the latch, and the magnetic device withdrew from its knock. Rei
grabbed the handle and turned it. Suddenly, the handle was ripped from
her hand. From behind the door, the shadowy figure of a NERV special
security agent leapt into the light. He drew his gun and fired as soon
as he saw the white in the girl's hair.
The girl screamed, and was thrown back into the darkness. The agent
eased his way toward the door, his gun pointed ahead of him. He turned
to his partner.
"Kuni, I got her."
The second agent lifted his walkie-talkie.
"Attention base station, this is Docking area A14, we have made contact
and deposited fire. Request backup immediately.
There was silence in the room, but all was enshrouded in darkness. The
agent proceeded into the darkness. He heard a whizzing noise, and a
blur appeared before him. The object flew at his face, and connected
to his forehead. The object made an audible cracking sound as it
collided with his skull. Dazed from the pain he stumbled backwards,
and brought his hands to the impact sight.
"AAAAAH! Damn, that hurt." He screamed. The object landed on the
ground in front of him. He picked up the small, but heavy projectile.
It was a bullet.
The agent looked up just in time to see the sole of Reis' shoe flying
at his face. The agent was thrown to his back by the force of the
kick. Rei came to a complete stop in mid-air, holding the "flying kick"
position. The second Agent drew his gun, and Rei swiftly reverse round
kicked the gun from his hand. She made a second rotation, and brought
her heel into the agents' side. He was thrown to the ground, as his
shades came flying off of his face. Rei stopped her spinning kick, and
placed her feet gently on the ground. She walked over the unconscious
agent, then stopped, knelt down and picked up his sunglasses. She slid
the glasses onto her face, pushing the bridge of them with her middle
finger, much like and old friend had done. A half smile formed on her
face as suddenly, for the first time, she realised;
she was a badass.
Reaching into her pocket, she removed the jangling key to Kaorus' motor-
cycle. A large, ostentatious, "K" pendant dangled from the end of it.
She hopped on the motorcycle, and inserted and turned the key. The
bike rumbled to life beneath her, and she zoomed away. Little did she
know, that already the EVAs had positioned themselves at the main shaft
of the Geofront, waiting for an angel to kill.
To be continued...

Authors comments:
A funny thing happened to me when I was writing the last sequence. At
around the time when Rei gets on the motorcycle, I suddenly realised:
"Hey...Wait a minute...THIS IS TERMINATOR 2! DAMMIT!"
I'm pissed that the osmosis of the "Bad to the bone" scene of T2 got
into here, but I left it in just because it "Felt right".
If you will also notice, the song "Angel" was submitted to the fic
to have the same feel as when Asuka sang in "My dinner with Shinji."
And I think Quentin would be proud because it also is stirringly like
the "Stuck in the middle with you" scene in Resivour Dogs. All this
in a fic based on PULP FICTION...I need to go lie down. Hope you
enjoyed it.

I got a couple of complaints that Fan Fiction 5 was too dark...
2 reasons for this:
1. it was supposed to be dark. Pulp Fiction got pretty dark in the
middle, so FF did too. That was the way it is supposed to be.
2. Godel had gotten to me. I was pretty depressed when I was publicly
trounced, and the joy was sucked out of me like fatty tissue out of
Cher. The Chenalos of 3 weeks ago could never have written a WAFFy
style fic. This more affected my ability to insert humor than anything
else. The fic is morose, I admit, but I feel better now.
In response, I ask you to stick with me, it won't stay dark forever
***Sun rises, pouring golden light upon the landscape***
OK, enough of that.

those EVAs, I will burn you. I will burn you alive, you understand?
Get those EVAs topside by any means necessary."
Gendo hung up the comm link. Ritsuko stood there in a cold sweat.
There was no hesitation in his words. She knew he meant every word
he had said.
"YOU BASTARD!" She threw the phone across the room. The next few
moments were a blur in her mind. When she looked up, the chairs
were overturned, the consoles were almost all destroyed, and there was
a gash on her right hand.
She wrapped the wound in her lab coat and stepped up to one of the last
consoles that remained undamaged.

She typed the keys in front of her, still hearing his words echo in her
mind.

Ritsuko pushed the monitor over, and it shattered in to pieces on the
floor. She collapsed onto the computer unit, and burst into tears.
Back in his office, Gendo saw the two units activate on his computer
screen and he smiled triumphantly. His revenge was close at hand.
He quickly linked his computer to the EVAs subunits.
"Pilot Ikari, Pilot Soryou, an Angel has penetrated this installation.
It has already damaged %90 of NERVs operating capacity. If this angel
is not destroyed, third impact is a certainty. You must succeed in
this mission, understood?"
"Yes, sir." said Shinji, coldly
"Understood." spoke Asuka, very nearly in a disrespectful tone. With
the events of last night, neither of the two had much respect for the
commander.
"Very well. The angel's last known location was terminal dogma I
believe it to be travelling to the surface. Roll out on foot, and
position yourself for Tokyo-03 intercept. That is all."
The comm link cut off, and the EVAs began the journey out of the
Geofront.
Gendo sat at his desk. He watched the EVAs' progression upwards, and
out of the Geofront. He was so intent on making sure that the EVAs
got up to Tokyo-03, that he never moved from his desk. He only sat
there, watching the slow and steady movements of EVAs one and two
through the sub-structure. He mumbled words of revenge and destruction
towards Rei. He was now deep in the grasp of obsession, and would not
move from that spot. He never left that room, and never budged from
that spot, locked before his computer screen. This is too bad for
him.
Rei walked through the corridor, and strolled right pass the entrance
to Commander Ikaris' office. She continued through the hallway,
unchallenged. All of the military personnel were heading either out,
or down to the destruction that was Terminal Dogma. Rei felt odd,
she knew that all of Tokyo-03 was looking for her, and yet there was
no-one around. She was all alone in the open corridor. She made her
way through the staircases and halls until she reached the door where
she had first entered. The door was locked, but she merely looked at
the latch, and the magnetic device withdrew from its knock. Rei
grabbed the handle and turned it. Suddenly, the handle was ripped from
her hand. From behind the door, the shadowy figure of a NERV special
security agent leapt into the light. He drew his gun and fired as soon
as he saw the white in the girl's hair.
The girl screamed, and was thrown back into the darkness. The agent
eased his way toward the door, his gun pointed ahead of him. He turned
to his partner.
"Kuni, I got her."
The second agent lifted his walkie-talkie.
"Attention base station, this is Docking area A14, we have made contact
and deposited fire. Request backup immediately.
There was silence in the room, but all was enshrouded in darkness. The
agent proceeded into the darkness. He heard a whizzing noise, and a
blur appeared before him. The object flew at his face, and connected
to his forehead. The object made an audible cracking sound as it
collided with his skull. Dazed from the pain he stumbled backwards,
and brought his hands to the impact sight.
"AAAAAH! Damn, that hurt." He screamed. The object landed on the
ground in front of him. He picked up the small, but heavy projectile.
It was a bullet.
The agent looked up just in time to see the sole of Reis' shoe flying
at his face. The agent was thrown to his back by the force of the
kick. Rei came to a complete stop in mid-air, holding the "flying kick"
position. The second Agent drew his gun, and Rei swiftly reverse round
kicked the gun from his hand. She made a second rotation, and brought
her heel into the agents' side. He was thrown to the ground, as his
shades came flying off of his face. Rei stopped her spinning kick, and
placed her feet gently on the ground. She walked over the unconscious
agent, then stopped, knelt down and picked up his sunglasses. She slid
the glasses onto her face, pushing the bridge of them with her middle
finger, much like and old friend had done. A half smile formed on her
face as suddenly, for the first time, she realised;
she was a badass.
Reaching into her pocket, she removed the jangling key to Kaorus' motor-
cycle. A large, ostentatious, "K" pendant dangled from the end of it.
She hopped on the motorcycle, and inserted and turned the key. The
bike rumbled to life beneath her, and she zoomed away. Little did she
know, that already the EVAs had positioned themselves at the main shaft
of the Geofront, waiting for an angel to kill.

Authors comments:
A funny thing happened to me when I was writing the last sequence. At
around the time when Rei gets on the motorcycle, I suddenly realised:
"Hey...Wait a minute...THIS IS TERMINATOR 2! DAMMIT!"
I'm pissed that the osmosis of the "Bad to the bone" scene of T2 got
into here, but I left it in just because it "Felt right".
If you will also notice, the song "Angel" was submitted to the fic
to have the same feel as when Asuka sang in "My dinner with Shinji."
And I think Quentin would be proud because it also is stirringly like
the "Stuck in the middle with you" scene in Resivour Dogs. All this
in a fic based on PULP FICTION...I need to go lie down. Hope you
enjoyed it.

I got a couple of complaints that Fan Fiction 5 was too dark...
2 reasons for this:
1. it was supposed to be dark. Pulp Fiction got pretty dark in the
middle, so FF did too. That was the way it is supposed to be.
2. Godel had gotten to me. I was pretty depressed when I was publicly
trounced, and the joy was sucked out of me like fatty tissue out of
Cher. The Chenalos of 3 weeks ago could never have written a WAFFy
style fic. This more affected my ability to insert humor than anything
else. The fic is morose, I admit, but I feel better now.
In response, I ask you to stick with me, it won't stay dark forever
***Sun rises, pouring golden light upon the landscape***
OK, enough of that.
