"Moko Takabisha Double!"
The three inch thick steel door was suddenly blown off its hinges as the two chi blue fireballs slammed in it and sending it flying back a couple of metres before finally resting in the middle of the corridor. Smoke filled the room as our favorite pigtailed martial artist stepped through the doorway. Security alarms were ringing while red lights flashed down along the corridor.
"Hmm...maybe I over done it?" Ranma glanced down the corridor to see if there was any armed guards stationed but all he could see was the flashing red light.
Deciding to leave the immediate area, Ranma quickly ran down the corridor, as he really didn't want to explain how he managed to escape to the security guards and the grudge that Gendo has on him. He didn't really want to stick around as that guy really gave him the creeps when he first met him.
Ritsuko who was in the observation room was shocked at the level of power that he displayed and wondered how did he keep his powers a secret from her. Not sure if he was friendly or not, Ritsuko decided not to follow him as he could potentially be dangerous and started to analysis the sensor recording as much as possible, knowing full well that Gendo would probably demand a answer. Walking over to the security phone, she immediately started to tell Misato where the intruder was heading.
Ten minutes later, the alarms hasn't stopped ringing which was beginning to give Ranma one heck of a headache as ran down the series of corridors and stairs, trying to figure out a way out but he came to one problem. It's seems that everywhere he goes, everything looked the same.
"I'm lost, I can hear Ryoga laughing at me right now. How many levels does this place have? It's huge!" Ranma muttered quietly to him self.
Using his keen martial arts senses, it foretold him of security cameras and sentries dotted along the base before they had the chance to notice him as he tried to find some sort of map or signs that would lead him out of this complex. Suddenly his acute hearing heard the sound of heavily armed guard heading his direction and unless he did something, he going to get caught. Unfortunately took the wrong turning at a junction and was facing a dead end. Keeping calm and composed, Ranma looked around to see door to the left of him and quickly entered the room, trying to find a place to hide. As soon as Ranma entered the room, he soon realised he came to another dilemma; there was no way out of this room.
He couldn't back out and enter the room to his right as he spotted of some nasty looking NERV security guards heading down the corridor armed to the teeth with full body armour and MP5 submachine guns. Ranma quickly and silently closed the door and leaned against it as he considered his options.
'What to do, what to do? Hmm...perfect!" thought Ranma as he found somewhere he could hid from the guards. Ranma had initially thought he could taken them on bare handled but quickly shook his head as that wouldn't be a wise decision.
Moments later, three heavily armed security guards entered the room in two by one cover formation scanning the room. Their itchy fingers on the trigger of the submachine guns searching the room step by step. The rest of their comrades were standing outside the room looking through the glass window. A dozen red dots in the room while the three guards slowly entered the room with the express instruction to take him alive at all cost. The sergeant notices a couple of large lockers, which could easily hold someone.
The sergeant smirked as he waved his right hand to his two men to take firing positions as he slowly reached for the locker handle.
"1,2,3...NOW!" The sergeant opened wide the locker door while his guards moved in for the kill.
[Captain Misato, level 12 to 15 all clear,] The sergeant said through his communications earpiece.
[How you found him?] A feminine voice replied.
[Escape prisoner, Ranma Saotome is nowhere to be seen, over,] the sergeant reported as he waved to his guards to move on to the next sector. All they found in the locker was a dirty NERV uniform and some porno magazines at the bottom but no sign of the escape prisoner. He could have sworn that he spotted someone entering this room.
[Fine, Sergeant, proceed to level 12 and upward, he doesn't have to clearance to proceed further below level 15. Recommend extreme caution, as we don't fully know the danger he represents. Remember Sergeant it your job on the line if you kill him under Commander orders.] Misato replied.
[Affirmative, Major Misato. Caution duly noted, proceeding to level 12, over.] The sergeant said before following his men out of the room, the sergeant stopped at the doorway and glanced over his shoulder, slowly reaching for his Colt pistol. He then spun around and levelled his pistol but breathed a sigh of relief, as it was only a monitor that has been left on and closed the door behind him before joining up with his men/
Ranma finally breathed in heavily as he has been holding his breath all this time while the guards moved around the room. If that sergeant stay a minute longer, he would've have spotted him. It's a real shame that the guards didn't really look on the ceiling near the doorway otherwise they would've had spotted him hanging there by his fingernails. Quietly jumping down from the ceiling, he then looked around to see what type of room he had entered.
Looking around Ranma could see he was in some sort of video room as there was quite a few expensive looking monitors and flat screens dotted all over the room while sophisticated recording and surveillance equipment was located to one side of the room. Ranma whistled at the level of equipment in the room, which was so advance and high Tec that it would make Nabiki jealous with envy. Ranma shuddered violently at the thought that if she had her hand on this equipment then no one would be safe.
Feeling a little fatigued and tired after running through miles of unfamiliar corridors and stairways, Ranma pulled up a chair and sat down near the central control console which he accidentally pressed a button by his elbow. Ranma was startled but immediately calmed down as he realised that he had just switch the equipment online as various monitors switched on to show recent recorded surveillance videos and security cams. Seeing that he had no where to go for the moment, Ranma decide to view the recording to see if he could piece together how on earth did he get into these situation. He made a mental note that if he ever get out of this situation in one piece; someone was going to pay for this and also that he better start using his other skills rather than fighting his way out, martial arts can only get you so far.
Ranma quickly typed on the keyboard and immediately access the central database, a skill in computer hacking that he had picked up when he saved a couple of computer nerds from being bullied. They were grateful for his help and offered to teach him in the ways of the net and computer. Ranma was at first hesitant to accept their offer but was soon persuaded by them that it could greatly aid him.
Ranma smiled as he watched screen two playing back how he got and glancing over screen three of strange and ugly glowing creature against huge semi biological robotic creature which was piloted by shy looking boy a year younger than him. What really caught his attention was screen six as he saw a very pretty blue hair girl with the most startling red eyes that he had ever seen undergo her synchronization test with another robotic creature dubbed EVA unit 00. Ranma was horrified at what happened next when the creature went berserk for some reason with her in it. Other recording showed that this Gendo person was as evil as Happosai was perverted but on scale far darker. Seeing enough of the recording, Ranma decided to access the computer one more time and minutes later of hacking as much as he could without alerting anyone, he came to base layout and plotted a route out of here.
"Hmm...there seems to a access point for deliveries? This seems to be least guarded exit point in this entire complex but also the longest route round," Ranma whispered as he clicked the print button.
Ripping the layout from the printer, he was about to leave the video room when he noticed a locker that hadn't been opened which he suddenly had a idea. Walking over to the locker, he gave the door a swift kick and quickly looked around to see if anyone heard the racket before looking in.
To his relief, Ranma found a complete NERV uniform, pair of sunglasses and wallet of money. 'I need this more that you,' Ranma though as he gathered the items from the locker.
"Oh man, I don't really this!" Ranma moaned as he came to a slight problem to his idea. The only problem was that the uniform was way too small for him to fit but suddenly Ranma had idea but was reluctant to do this as it mainly involved his curse. Seeing that he had no choice as everyone was out for his blood and would easily be spotted the moment he stepped in the delivery bay. They would never suspect a red hair girl to be actually be him unless they were really paranoid or require identification, he hoped that it didn't resort to that as he didn't really feel like dodging bullets and attack dogs. Taking a bottle of water from the table, he poured it over him as he felt his curse being activated by the sudden cold water. Drying herself quickly, Ranchan immediately stripped down of her torn clothes and started to wear the uniform while pocketing the sunglasses and the wallet.
'Perfect.' Ranchan though as the uniform now fitted her perfectly and finish her disguise, she quickly untied her pigtail, allowing her red hair flowing just above her shoulder as her pigtail may attract suspicions.
Ranchan slowly opened the door and peeked out to see if the corridor was clear before leaving the room. Along the way, down the corridor, Ranchan spotted a couple of NERV male employees walking down and giving her wolf whistles as she past by. Ranchan resisted the urge to beat the living hell out of them otherwise her cover would be blown. While the female employee sighed deeply at her attractive slim figure that they would kill to have. Ranchan continued to walk down the busy corridor until she reached the end of the long corridor to a lifts that seems to led all the way up.
Glancing to both sides, Ranchan quietly pressed the life button to go up and waited patiently and calm as security guards and NERV employees walked pass her.
'Come on, come on.' Ranchan thought impatiently as she looked up to see the lift was coming down but at incredible slow pace.
Eventually the lift finally reached her level and opened up to reveal that someone was already in the lift. Ranchan realised that the boy was from the media recording and was the one who barely won against that divine creature. Deciding not to wait any longer for the next lift, Ranchan calmly entered.
"What level?" asked the young boy.
"Level one," Ranchan answered as she stood side by side with the EVA pilot while he pressed the desired button on the life console.
The boy quickly glance to his left at Ranchan but wasn't quick enough as Ranchan spotted it. "What is it?" Ranchan inquired as the lift hummed into life and slowly went upwards.
"I never seen you before? There are not many red hair girls that work here, are you new here?" asked the boy before his cheeks blushed a slight red in shyness.
"Why yes, I am. The names Tendo Ranko, nice to meet ya." Ranchan said but noticed the puzzled expression on the boy's face.
"Ikari Shinji. May I asked that if your name is Ranko Tendo, how come your name badge is different?" Shinji inquired.
Ranchan glanced down on her uniform and noticed that the name badge was indeed not Ranko Tendo like she said to the boy.
"Well, that's easy, it a simply mistake. They gave me the wrong badge on my first day," Ranchan replied confidently, hoping that he would buy it otherwise she would have to knock the poor boy's light out so he wouldn't report her/
Shinji expression relaxed, "Oh, that's alright, I understand. Hey do you know why the internal security alarms are still ringing?" inquired Shinji.
"Hmm...they looking for someone who escaped, apparently it's that mysterious pigtailed boy that appeared from nowhere." Ranchan replied.
"I do hope that we don't meet him, it's rumored that he is some sort of Angel or something?" Shinji said, a sad expression on his face.
"I don't really believe in rumours and gossips but I hear he is quite harmless and friendly person," replied Ranchan as she mentally slapped herself for putting her foot in it again.
"How do you know?" Shinji inquired, looking at her with an inquisitive look.
"Emm...well...you see, oh look, this is my level!" Ranchan hastily replied as she immediately press the lift doors to open to avoid being questioned further.
"But...but we're only reached level four." exclaimed Shinji as the lift doors started to close behind her as she stepped out.
"Don't worry I can make my own way from here. Nice meeting you Shinji." Ranko waved as she quickly walked down the corridor.
After spending the last half of hour wandering aimlessly through the mazes of corridors and junction, Ranchan was sure that he was on the right track as he unfolded the map from her top pocket and examined the paper again.
"Hmm...it say that I should make a turn left at the end of this damn corridor." Ranchan muttered to herself. Moments later, Ranma was lead down a corridor and into a wide circular room where a very narrow handrail bridge passes over the void which seems to stretch deeper into the NERV headquarter. Ahead was the sign, 'Delivery bay 3' while to her left was some sort of hospital ward which he spotted the same blue haired girl all bandaged up from the accident that she had with EVA unit 00.
Ranchan quickly made up her mind and walked over towards the hospital ward to see if she was all right before making her escape. As she entered the hospital, she walked over to the girl's bed and noticed a security camera in the corner of the room. Not wanting to attract any attention, Ranchan moved the curtains around the bed. Once Ranchan thought that she was safe, she turned around and walked to her bed and smiled as she didn't seems to be injured that badly like she first feared it to be.
A suddenly conflict in his mind appeared, should he take her with him to avoid her being hurt again especially what he seen from the video and would hamper his escape or should he leave her here to that evil Gendo person and make good his escape. Ranchan pulled up a chair and took her small hand in his and stared at the unconscious blue hair girl, wondering what would be the best choice to do.
Moments later, Ranchan knew what she must do and carefully picked up the blue hair girl gently while making sure she was comfortable enough to move. Wrapping her in warm blanket, Ranchan knew that he would seriously regret it later but his heart told him that it was for the best.
Slowly but surely, Ranchan exited the room with the girl in her arms and down the corridor that would be her ticket out of here. Noticing ahead, Ranchan noticed a couple of guards stationed near the entrance but lucky they hadn't spotted them yet which left one problem.
Ranchan smiled as she went back into the ward and picked up a large blanket and immediately wrapped herself and the girl.
"Goshin Dai Ryü Sei Fu." Ranchan said quietly as she faded into nothingness.
Watching all of this was the hidden security cameras that Ranchan failed to notice.
Meanwhile in Central NERV Headquarter
A sudden flashing light appeared on the monitor, which Misato immediately rushed over to see what was the problem. Typing in some commands into the computer, Misato eyes widen at the security recording that they have recently picked up.
"Commander Ikari, someone has just kidnapped EVA pilot REI AYANAMI!" exclaimed Misato.
Gendo eyes narrowed, "How is this possible? Report Misato." Gendo demanded.
"Apparently a unknown red hair girl entered the ward where Ayanami was recovering and she just took her from her bed. She doesn't appear to be on our NERV employee databases but it's get worse, commander." Misato informed.
"How? There is no way that this girl can escape this base without us seeing her first." Gendo replied.
"Look sir." Misato said as she pointed to large monitor to see the red hair girl wrapped in blanket carrying Rei and just vanished into thin air.
"Where was security at that time?" Gendo demanded.
"Everyone was looking for this Ranma Saotome like you order sir, we really didn't expect him to have some else working with him at the time." answered Misato as she order the highest level of security and immediate lockdown on the entire base.
'So, I was right, this Ranma Saotome is indeed a spy. I should have known he was a spy and should had him killed the moment he appeared. I must have her back at all cost!' thought Gendo.
"Misato, I want teams of heavily armed men to hunt down Ranma Saotome and bring back Rei Ayanami alive at all cost. Do you understand what I am saying?" Gendo said in cold but authoritative tone of voice.
"Acknowledge sir, what about this Ranma Saotome, what do you use to do with him?" asked Misato.
Gendo lay back against his chair and pressed his fingertips together.
"Kill him." Gendo simply replied which could bring chills up anyone spine due the coldness and emotionless tone of voice.
TBC...

Author Note: Rescuing or kidnapping Rei (depends on their perspective)
The only change to this story is that Rei will have no memory, which is due to her injuries sustained. With her lack of memory and seeing that him saving her, she will place all of her faith in Ranma that she views as her rescuers. She still retains the skills to pilot an Evangelion unit.
This is a Revised Version of this story as I was feeling a little bored on what to do. If you haven't guess by now the story or the idea where it is taken from, this is a Ranma/Rei matchup and I'm trying not to end the story like in the Anime - The End of the Evangelion.

"Commander Ikari, someone has just kidnapped EVA pilot REI AYANAMI!" exclaimed Misato.
Gendo eyes narrowed, "How is this possible? Report Misato." Gendo demanded.
"Apparently a unknown red hair girl entered the ward where Ayanami was recovering and she just took her from her bed. She doesn't appear to be on our NERV employee databases but it's get worse, commander." Misato informed.
"How? There is no way that this girl can escape this base without us seeing her first." Gendo replied.
"Look sir." Misato said as she pointed to large monitor to see the red hair girl wrapped in blanket carrying Rei and just vanished into thin air.
"Where was security at that time?" Gendo demanded.
"Everyone was looking for this Ranma Saotome like you order sir, we really didn't expect him to have some else working with him at the time." answered Misato as she order the highest level of security and immediate lockdown on the entire base.
'So, I was right, this Ranma Saotome is indeed a spy. I should have known he was a spy and should had him killed the moment he appeared. I must have her back at all cost!' thought Gendo.
"Misato, I want teams of heavily armed men to hunt down Ranma Saotome and bring back Rei Ayanami alive at all cost. Do you understand what I am saying?" Gendo said in cold but authoritative tone of voice.
"Acknowledge sir, what about this Ranma Saotome, what do you use to do with him?" asked Misato.
Gendo lay back against his chair and pressed his fingertips together.
"Kill him." Gendo simply replied which could bring chills up anyone spine due the coldness and emotionless tone of voice.

Author Note: Rescuing or kidnapping Rei (depends on their perspective)
The only change to this story is that Rei will have no memory, which is due to her injuries sustained. With her lack of memory and seeing that him saving her, she will place all of her faith in Ranma that she views as her rescuers. She still retains the skills to pilot an Evangelion unit.
This is a Revised Version of this story as I was feeling a little bored on what to do. If you haven't guess by now the story or the idea where it is taken from, this is a Ranma/Rei matchup and I'm trying not to end the story like in the Anime - The End of the Evangelion.
