Since I got some complaints about how slow I seem to update this I thought I'd release an early chapter out, shortened due to the amount of time I had to spare. I love ya people for sticking with me on this, I'll try to work a little (harder/more often) on this. Sorry to keep you waiting. No Omakes, sorry too short to really have any. But ya could give me some sweet sweet loving in the form of reviews eh? Cya!
Enjoy!

"These creatures... They are unbecoming... Walking... Talking... Curses on them for making me share this" Arael gently shifted it's current and began sliding along the night skies.
It's glistening white form was now larger, with more spiky extrusions from it's body then before. It's scarlet red orb at the center of it's body shone lightly and continued to drag the rest of itself along behind.
"Logic... I now have human logic... How... Ignorant..." Arael fumed and slowly spread it's wings to give itself a mighty gust to speed it along the black silent void.

"Hyuga what's it doing?" Misato studied the graceful form as it seemed to fold around itself on the monitor.
"It seems to be flapping it's wings, accelerating slightly" Hyuga scanned his reports and nodded to Misato. "It's mostly for show, the time schedule we planned will only be advanced by about 10 minutes"
"Good keep me informed" Misato continued to count up her options and wondered what else she could do until it was too late to plan ahead any more.

Rei stood in her plugsuit and strolled up to her Eva gently trancing it's mighty chin. She tilted her head and closed her eyes as if mentally receiving a conversation from it.
"This is not my purpose, but I have been told to do it" Rei paused and gently walked along the retractible bridge and made way to the entry plug.
"I wonder... If the battle with the angel turned out like this" Rei's mind pictured the difficulties that Shinji and Asuka had with their differing bodies "Then what will happen with our second battle?"
---
Gendo slowly walked along the corridor of a little used side passage in the massive NERV complex and planned.
'Rei will do as she's told. I know that, but it will take awhile before she'll be ready, so how will those other two do?'
Gendo stepped along the dark corridor and slowly made his way back to the heart of NERV.
---
Shinji rubbed his nose, frowning as he followed after Asuka through the streets of Tokyo 3.
They had been called in by NERV while he himself was busy in the school's locker room attempting to prepare for gym class as dictated.
Asuka walked ahead feeling a bit aggravated and silently brooding to herself.
"Shinji?" Asuka glanced behind herself to address the slower of the two.
"Yeah?" Shinji's tired tone rose as he let go of his sore nose.
"Why did you go to the girls change room?"
"Well... The teacher said it was gym class. Well, I am a girl so to change I'd have to go there..." Shinji trailed off and Asuka made a sigh.
"Why didn't you just skip, or make up an excuse to not go in?!" Asuka was attempting to keep her tone neutral.
"Well... I don't know..." Shinji muttered defeated.
"Shinji... Try not to be a pervert..." Asuka muttered and continued along to NERV "At least not while in my body"
"Ahh.... Right Asuka" Shinji complied and pondered what she meant.

"Look here twinkle toes, you say one more dumb line and I'll string you up with that headset of yours!" Rob growled at the man across from him. Rob didn't feel like dealing with this silliness anymore but what could really be done, morons like him seemed pretty common place.
"Ayep, I think it's almost time for our mission" the man smiled through his glaring white teeth, Rob nearly reached over to beat him a few good rounds on the head.
"..."
"This is M1, we have contacts" a voice came across the line that Rob was monitoring.
"Roger that M1, types?" Rob replied and gave back the standard FoF reply.
"We have a Judas on the move, seems to be pacing something" the voice paused before continuing "Seems our secondaries are approaching your entry point"
Rob cursed off the radio and relayed what was happening to his team leader. The leader immediately gave his orders and rob relayed them across the channel.

Aoba hurried through all the non sense reports that were piling up from outposts and secondary observatories about the angel.
'Don't they know we already have that thing plastered on our main screen!?' Aoba scanned through his work while a small message popped up on his monitor from the automatic radio scanning equipment.
"Huh? Who uses shortwave radios in this day and age..." Aoba scanned the log quickly.
"Huh?" Aoba shook his head and glanced to the Sub commander as came up behind him
"You see something?" Fuyutsuki asked, peering over the workstation.
"Sir, we have a very suspicious log that is on file" Aoba highlighted the log and dragged it to the front of the piling up reports on the screen. Fuyutsuki glanced at the document and quickly zipped his eyes across the screen.
"... Alright. Aoba, you are to delete this log as of now, I'll report this to the commander" Fuyutsuki saw Aoba stiffen at the formality but a Aoba offered an agreeing reply and deleted the file.
"No word Aoba, update me immediately if another one comes up" Fuyutsuki took off at a speedy walk and exited the commander center faster then Aoba could turn around.
"... What in the world was that about?" Aoba pressed the delete key and the file log closed, allowing the reports to flood his screen again.

Rob held onto the armrest of the chair he sat on as the van lurched to a sudden stop. His annoying partner, one of 5 more in the vehicle, now lost of cheer and was waiting for a signal to move beyond the doors.
Just as quickly as the van stopped several guards from the NERV gate approached the vehicle. One guard was about to ask the driver what business the van had in blocking the gate.
"Excuse me, what are you doing here? This is no parking spot" the NERV guard said, in his red beret and tan clothing he wasn't too intimidating, unlike the pistol held ready in his hand.
The driver shook his head and began to tell a story involving bad traffic lights, late work hours and soggy wish towels. Yes you heard me, dish towels.
"Umm, sir? Your not making much sense I think you should step out of the vehicle as we search around. That alright" It was not a question and the driver shook his head yes in a very over done manner.
"Sir, why are-" a fleshy pop was heard and the NERV guard shuddered as a bullet from a sniper took him down. In the panicky seconds after that, the other guards were also taken out, in a similar and methodical fashion.
Rob's headset buzzed and he exchanged code words with the sniper team. With a nod of Rob's head to tem leader, or S1, the van burst forth it's 5 black clad soldiers, silently charging the automatic doors.
"You two, move the corpses out of sight now. Rob, radio in for our sniper team to let us know what's going on in the back ground" the tall man ducked through the slowly opening doorway and storming through with all the others forming up single file behind him.
"Sniper team, be warned you know what happens if the children see us. Our boss wants extreme care when dealing with them, so let us know when you see them coming" Rob heard the click on the radio and he quickly ran through the closing door.
Now he and his team were cut off from the outside, only way to go is down.

"Commander, we have a situation as expected" Fuyutsuki stood up to Gendo's glare and he huffed himself up.
"I take it SEELE sent it's men?" Fuyutsuki's tone brought Gendo to place a hand in his pocket and smirked as if it were a joke.
"So the games a foot, make sure the Magi are secured and all guards armed for intruders" Gendo spoke, closing the front of his coat.
"Yes, yes but they're after..." Fuyutsuki was paused by Gendo shaking his head.
"Rei has already been sent to collect it, without the regular techs knowing it of course" Gendo killed his smirk and pulled a cellphone from his pocket.
"Where is Akagi?"
---
Ritsuko sat sprawled across her chair, happily napping after spending hours of work, recalculating the rifles to more appropriate settings for this angel.
Her work space was cluttered and somewhere underneath it all was a phone that was ringing, too quietly for it to pierce the mess.
She rolled over off the chair and blinked awake, after free falling from a giant cat, well that was her dream anyway.

Shinji and Asuka sat in the train in different rows as it zoomed below the geo front, speeding along it's metal tracks. The car seemed empty, as the pleasant blue skies of the geo front happily beamed in Shinji's eyes.
"Well, I guess it's almost time for our battle with that angel again..." Shinji muttered, slightly getting depressed.
"... Yeah. Looks like it" Asuka replied in a neutral tone.
"Do you even remember what it did to us last time?" Shinji carefully glanced over to Asuka.
"..." Asuka stared at the expanse of the green forests that they were speeding towards before turning to Shinji " Not... not a thing"
Secretly huddled in the next car of the train sat 5 men, clad only in black, each fully armed for urban combat, and one more heavily padded down then the rest. Together both groups finished the rest of the trip down to the geo front in complete silence. Both having equally important business to attend to.
--?--?--
Yup, Shinji had clothing to wash, Asuka had puppies to kick and that Rob guy needs some fashion sense. Black suits? Pull-EASE!!!! Neon green all the way! woot woot woot!!!!
... Sorry...
Enjoy!
