Chapter three:"Battle of Fantasy" or "Form of the Mind"
Previosly: The pilots find themselves trapped inside NERV's very own VR program. The program
has been hacked with a mysterious virus tittled "Lillith". When all seems to be well and over, the system
unleashes what is believed to be an Angel into the system.
Rei nestled into Kojiro's arms, drooping faster into sleep. Kojiro didn't mind her sleeping in his
arms...it was just the fact this all could have been under better circumstances...like his bedroom. He sighed
and let things be. Rei was still tired, and he still had to figure out what the hell was going on. Also, he worried
about the other pilots.
"Kojiro?" Rei opened her eyes again.
"Hmm?"
"...I hear something." She leaned forward out of Kojiro's arms, tilting her head to the side, letting her ear's
test the air.
Kojiro watched her, then mimiced her position. All he could hear were VR insects nearby, loud thundering
footsteps, bugs chirping in the grass...? Loud footsteps?
Kojiro turned in the sounds direction. There, in the horizon, stood an Angel...No doubt about it.
No mech unit could look so grotesque.
For what could be seen, it stood on three thin legs with forked feet. The body that rested on these insectoid
legs was shaped like a triangle, with long tentacles shooting out from it's shoulders. Attached to each tentacle were
a set of blades, probably capable of ripping an Evangelion to pieces if given the chance. On the body frame was a
beak-like face, below that was the scarlet core that had been long been used to distinguish Angels.
"...Oooh boy..." Kojiro swallowed. He swerved on his rear, making a dash to where his ejected plug lay.
"...What are you doing, Kojiro?" Rei asked.
"...Punching a line to Shinji's plug...hopefully he's still in the area." Kojiro said as he punched in a number code
into the plugs emergency phone.
The silence that fell among Asuka, Shinji, and Kaworu was interupted by the loud ringing coming from one of the plugs.
Asuka looked back, then to the others.
Shinji shook his head. Kaworu did likewise.
Asuka growled, then extended her arm, her hand in a fist.
The two boys looked puzzeled, then understood. Both stretched out their fists and the game commenced.
"Rock" Asuka declared.
"...Rock" Kaworu said.
"..." Shinji sighed. "Scissors..."
Shinji crawled to his plug and picked up the reciever on his emergency phone. "Hello?"
"Ikari?! It's Kojiro! Listen! We gotta get the Eva's runnin' again! An Angels on the warpath!" Kojiro's paniced
voice came.
"What? An Angel? ...It's just a simulation, Kojiro. It's nothing to worry about. The system's probably close to being
fixed."
"No, I'm serious! This thing tried to take a swipe at us! ..." A silence fell. "Ayanami! Get down!" more shouts were
heard with the sounds of chaos. "Still there, Shinji? ...Okay, listen...we're about 5 or 7 blocks from your position,
I think! Get to your Eva's and get 'em started if ya can!"
"B...but they're out of commision! They won't start!" Shinji shouted over the din in the phones background.
"Well, hotwire the damn things then! Just hurry!" Kojiro snapped. The line went dead.
"...Who was it? Ritsuko?" Kaworu asked.
"N..no...we goota hurry to the Eva's and get them started..." Shinji hurried past them.
"What?! You idiot! The Eva's are out like a light!" Asuka hollered after him.
"Well...We'll just hotwire them then!" Shinji called back.
Kojiro and Rei made a mad dash to their Eva's...problem being how the heck were they gonna get their
plugs back into them?
Kojiro and Rei ducked under his Eva's hand for cover as the Angel passed them. They could hear the beast
snorting at the air, trying to sniff them out.
Kojiro looked around, his mind racing. He looked at the data-jack on his arm...The VR structures were made
of high density particles of light made ultra stable for VR testing use. If he could somehow transfer the VR energy into
his Eva, he could probably control it by remote control. The other problem was the fact of how would he get the power
into his jack, and from his jack to the Eva.
"Dammit...I'm out of idea's but I'm working on it...Rei, you got any smart bits?" He asked.
"...Perhaps we wait for Shinji." Rei said in a very calm tone.
"...Uh, Rei...are you nuts?!"
"...You obviously do not know the potential history of Unit 0.1." Rei gave him what looked like a
'just-you-watch' smile.
Shinji got to his Eva, then realized he couldn't pilot without his plug. "Dammit! Kojiro, you idiot!"
Asuka sighed. "Well, this was perfect..."
Shinji's mind ran in circles trying to figure out how to get this thing moving.
He climbed up to where his plug had been. Only the empty canal, dark and gloomy.
"Shinji! Get down from there!" Asuka shouted to him. "You'll kill yourself!"
Shinji gazed down the vacant channel. What he had in mind was a long shot...but it had to work. He took a deep
breath...and jumped in.
"He's nuts!!!" Asuka started to climb up to the hatch.
Shinji slid down the sleek metal chute, landing in perfect darkness at it's bottom. All he could hear around him was
the echo of his breathing and perfect stillness. In this darkness, Shinji knelt and prayed.
"...Mother...I know you're here...Please help me..."
Asuka growled to herself as she approached the empty hatch. Suddenly the ground thundered and the Angel came
into view. Asuka paused for a moment to let the imminent danger soak in.
She screamed and fell from where she was climbing, crashing into the crash hard. Kaworu hurried to her side, making
sure she was alright.
"Are you okay, Asuka-chan?" Kaworu helped her to her feet.
"Yeah yeah....ow....I'm fine...Shinji....ah, dammit! We gotta help him!" Asuka shook the stars from her head and
ignored the pain in her butt.
"Asuka...I don't think that'll be necessary..." Kaworu looked at Unit 0.1, still frozen in the position of holding
it's throat.
The angel lumbered across the land, finally coming upon the downed Eva. It's vacant eye sockets in the facial
structure seemed to size up the purple horned android.
It's pause was long. Then it's shoudlers arched and it leapt high into the air, nearly scraping the VR chambers "sky".
It came down, it's blades aiming directly for the robots heart.
Unit 0.1's eyes snapped open and with lightening reflexes rolled out of the way, letting the Angel smash into
the building it had previous rested on.
Sparing no moment to reflect, the Eva grabbed the Angel by it's beak, twisting and pulling, loud snaps and cracks
emitting into the air. It's other hand reared up and pummeled the beak into the soft black body frame, blood spewing in all
directions.
"I'll be damned! He did it!" Kojiro cheered as he and Rei watched from their rooftop. "kick it's ass Shinji!"
"I...hope Shinji-kun will be alright." Rei said, a hint of worry in her voice.
"...Oh, I doubt it he'll fail." Kojiro grinned.
"You were the one who said he was nuts."
"Ah, but a good kind of nuts!"
Unit 0.1 continued to work on the Angel, plunging it's blood-clad fist into it's body. With each furious punch, the
eva growled and hissed as the Angel simply took the beating, only occasionally letting it's tentacles thrash about wildly.
The Eva reared back, it's chest heaving from it's workout. Blood covered nearly all it's front. It's eyes glowed an
angry red as it marveled at it's victims carcass.
Then, as if only playing possum, a blade snapped around it's neck, squeezing tighter and tighter around the Eva's
neck.The Eva howled as it clawed at the tantacle, pulling and yanking to no avail. Finally, it found the Prog Knife
concealed in it's shoulder and hacked at the tentacle, the remnents falling to the ground. With itself back in action,
the Eva stabbed and slashed into the bleeding Angel's chest, it's bones beginning to show through the black mass that
was it's body.
As the massacre continued, Koruki marvled at his own handiwork that created this...Angel. Even though it was
losing and the show was nearly it's conclusion, Koruki still had one last move to make. He reached inside his outfit
and pulled out a red disc, then inserted it into his laptop that was overlooking the hacked data.
"Big finale, big boy...big finale..." he grinned.
The knife plunged in and out of the Angel's dieing body. For all it seemed, it was as if it wasn't a simulation
but a real Angel.Unit 0.1 almost seemed to grin as it murdered it's prey, it's mouth hanging open in a constant
battle-cry. Finally it grew bored of gouging it to death. It was time to finish the creature once and for all. It drew
the knife to the core, the crimson ball that seemed like the heart of all Angels. Their sweetspot. With one mighty
thrust, the blade sunk into the core with a loud 'shunk' and blood and spark flew into the air.
Asuka stood with a look of disgust and intrigue. Kaworu simply grinned. Rei had no emotional trace. Kojiro
hollered and cheered loudly.
Then, an explosion ripped through the angel, catching unit 0.1 in the blast. Buildings shook and the sky
crumbled. The simulation skeletons became unraveled all around the pilots as what was done was being destroyed.
The VR fabric was coming undone. The building Rei and Kojiro were on shattered, causing them to plummet to the
ground. Nearby, Asuka and Kaworu saught shelter in their plugs as protection.
Silence fell. Kojiro looked up. The VR simulated City was gone. All around him were the pale blue walls of
the VR chamber. In the rooms center stood Unit 0.1...it's eyes once again dark. The angel had self destructed, tearing
apart the system design. The Angel was reduced to a minor skeletal structure, still smoking from the blast.
"Hot damn, I love this job!" He chuckled and collapsed on his back. Rei looked over at him, wonder what
he found so...funny.
Nearby, Asuka and Kaworu still cowered in their plugs, as if almost afraid to come out.
The hatch opened and Ritsuko and Misato stormed in, accompanied by almost a whole army of officers came in.
They saw the "Angel" and stopped dead in their trackes.
"...Well, this should prove interesting, eh, Doctor?" Misato asked dryly.
Ritsuko wiped her forehead with a towel, ignoring Misato. "Go see if the pilots are all right! All techs
check on the Eva's!" She shouted orders to the officers.
"At least they seem alright..." Maya said as she observed the scorched chamber.
After a thorough inspection of unit 0.1, they pulled a rather shooken Shinji in the recesses of the plug hole.
He was fast asleep when they found him, the biggest grin on his face. He stayed asleep for three days.
Scene: a few days later, in a dark alley.
"...Koruki has done well...The VR chamber is lost, and NERV now knows there is a new enemy."
"Yes...Let us not get cocky. Koruki may have just lucked out. Now we move on to bigger things."
"The Eva's themselves?"
"Yes."
"...You should have seen the battle, Kaiser...it was beautiful...a battle of fantasy...Nothing was real except
the Eva and it's Pilot."
"I watched...The best I could do was watch among the panic in the control room. They knew nothing."
"Of course...they only care about their precious Eva's. The will of LILLITH will not be tarnished by them. The
way of all things will be ours soon enough."
"Yes...Let us be off, Rezal...The Masters awaits."
"Yes...We musn't leave SEELE waiting."
