Chapter 2: The Search for Asuka
Shinji and Rei set out in their evas, with the new prog swords in hand. The new battery technology allowed them internal power for a half hour, rather than the 5 minutes the old systems had. When they arrived at the location of Asuka's disappearance, they noticed another set of footprints, to large to be an eva's. Shinji's fear was then confirmed, as Satchiel stepped around a building. The angels were back.
"What is Satchiel doing here!?" Shinji yelled as he and Rei prepared for combat, "I defeated it years ago!" Then, without warning, Rei's eva was grabbed by a pair of red laser-like whips. Shamshel, the 4th angel, was also there. Rei dropped her prog sword and struggled to get out of the laser whips, her evas armor melting at their touch. Shinji grabbed the sword and charged at Shamshel with both swords arcing in. One sword successfully detached one laser whip from the angel's body, but the other sword, aimed at the angels head, bounced right off. It was then that Shinji was reminded of Satchiel's presence, the hard way. A pump-action laser slammed into the back of Unit 01's head. Shinji shrugged off the pain, Rei's position too important to ignore, and he swung his swords again at Shamshel, detaching the other laser whip, freeing Rei's eva. Shinji then turned his focus to Satchiel, the foe of his first battle ever, and charged. Satchiel then let out a powerful blast that sent Shinji flying backwards over Rei's eva, which was lying still and badly burned. The image of his friend injured lit fires of rage in Shinji's eyes, and he leaped back at Satchiel, right through another blast. One leg went numb, but still he charged in, both swords flailing wildly. Satchiel attempted to block the swords with its arms, only to find that it had no arms left, just shattered bones and exposed veins wildly pouring out blood. Shinji then embedded one sword into Satchiel's S2 organ, shattering it and silencing Satchiel forever. His rage not spent, he hammered away at Satchiel's prone form, smearing his eva with blood and gore. He then ran back to Shamshel, trying to flee due to its lack of weapons, and did the same. Just as Shinji finished off Shamshel, his power cells gave out, all their energy used in the battle, and his eva fell silent.
"Send out a recovery team," said Misato Katsuragi, "we'll continue looking for Asuka later, right now we need them back here safely."
The next morning, Shinji woke up the sounds of Misato's daily routine, again. "When am I gonna decide to........." "Yaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!"......... "Move out?" he thought to himself. Again he got up, got dressed and went into the kitchen to eat his breakfast. "Why do you look so sad, Shinji?" asked Misato. "We didn't find Asuka, that was the whole point of the mission, and on top of that, the angels are back. I wish this hadn't happened, I don't want to relive what happened 4 years ago." he replied. "There are things you can't control, and some things that you can." Misato simply stated, "now hurry up, you are needed at the compound, we are resuming the search for Asuka now that you are awake."
"Are all the systems running normally?" asked Dr. Ritsuko Akagi, "We need them all running at full power within the hour, the search is resuming." "They are all nominal," replied Maya Ibuki as the door to the room opened and Misato entered. "How are things looking?" she asked. "Everything is ready," replied Ritsuko, "the search will resume as soon as the pilots arrive." "They are getting into their plug suits right now." said Misato, "hows the new equipment looking?" "Just fine, this time we equipped Unit 01 with 2 prog swords, since he did so well with the two last time, and we modified one of Shamshel's laser whips to be used as a weapon by Unit 00," replied Ritsuko. "Good thinking," said Misato, "lets hope those two angels were just some random event and that none of the others will be revived."
Shinji and Rei, getting into their entry plugs, were going through the usual startup procedures. "Why do we have to do this again?" he thought, "I had hoped my piloting days were over." "Shinji, are you ready?" asked Misato from the control room. "I guess," he replied. "Good, all systems are nominal," she said, "eva launch!"
This is the end of chapter 2. I hope you enjoyed it, im having a lot of fun writing this fanfic, so it will definitely be turned into a series, anyway, please read and review.
