Welcome back folks. This is mack daddy Rune here with an update.

Crowd: Finally!

Rune: You people think it's easy to write a masterpiece such as this? You're all dumber than I thought. I can't just slap together a fight without a little story involved. Anyways, last time the 9th Angel attacked and Electro stole Tokyo-3's power. The children and Spidey came to the rescue, and served up some ass-whippings that I will not forget anytime soon. Oh, and for you idiots who didn't bother to read it last time:

Peter/Misato

Shinji/Rei

Touji/Hikari

Matt Murdock/Ritsuko

???/Shigeru Aoba (That's right, Aoba may get some loving. Only Shardclaw Kusanagi knows who it will be. MUWAHAHAHAH!!!)

Rune starts coughing like a maniac.

Nick: What's wrong? Too much ganja?

Rune: Quiet you.

RuneKnightPictures Proudly Presents: The Spider in the Eva

Chapter 5

Control Lost

SEELE HQ...

Eleven of the twelve monoliths were lit, Keele Lorenz himself sat at a desk waiting for their appointment. A light turned on, illuminating the center and their arrival. Magneto stood, shackled, looking at Keele with a mixture of fear, hatred, and gratefulness.

Keele spoke first, "Magnus, how nice of you to join us."

"Get to the point," Magneto hissed.

"We had you released from the Void to our custody for a reason. We said you would be free if you did a job for us. Well, it has been a month and now that job is ready."

Magneto sneered. "And what may that be?"

"We control NERV. Yet, we know that Commander Ikari doesn't truly wish to follow our plans for Instrumentality. Thus, we need his most powerful asset under our control."

"The Evangelions."

"We never once doubted your intelligence Magnus. That is why we need your power for the job. Electro's task of taking the power and hoping that the Evas would be easily available failed. Let us hope that you may do better."

SEELE monolith 10 spoke, " Kill all who cross your path, except three."

"And who will that be?"

"The pilots, they are pivotal to our plan," Keele said.

"Your plans to use me as you did Logan will not work."

"True. But for all Logan knows, it's Department H who was responsible for that."

Magneto laughed. "To think that homo superior is not man's greatest enemy, but it is in fact homo sapien."

Xavier's School for the Gifted...

'Where are you? Why do you still block me?' Professor Xavier thought to himself as he used Cerebro. Just as he began to take it off, he felt someone trying to contact him.

Professor Xavier, I have found Magneto.

And just who may you be?

A concerned citizen who wishes to help the community.

Where is he?

Look in Tokyo-3...

The connection was severed and Professor X pressed the intercom.

"X-Men to Cerebro on the double."

The door opened and five people came in. The African woman known as Storm, Cyclops, Nate Grey, Beast, and Weapon X. Logan.

"What is it Professor?" Cyclops asked.

"I think we may have a clue to where Magneto is. I was suspicious when Magneto was released from The Void into SEELE's custody. In there I could monitor him seeing as how he was denied his helmet which blocks telepathic intrusion. Yet, once he was in SEELE headquarters, I couldn't find him. Now he has been seen in Tokyo-3. We just go there and find him."

Wolverine smirked. " So we find him, and we shred him."

Professor Xavier shook his head. "No Logan, we must get him back into Void custody. There he shall be no threat."

"Right. X-Men, to the Blackbird!" Cyclops said.

Nate hung back to talk with Professor X. "Sir, do you think it will be safe to us my powers?"

"If only for a short while, yes. But I would best warn you not to exhaust yourself."

NERV HQ, Cages...

Peter stood on a catwalk observing the repairs and modifications of Unit-02. The Eva had been hit with a considerable amount of acid and he wanted to make sure that it did not get in the way. In his hands he had the specs for the modifications he was planning to make to Unit-02. If he changed the genetics in the arms, legs, and torso just right, he would be able to strengthen it considerably.

"Dr. Parker, you are needed in Commander Ikari's office for a meeting," Maya's voice said over the intercom.

"Now what does he want with me?" Peter asked himself.

He had been asked many times how he had beforehand knowledge of an Angel attack. Peter had reasoned with Gendou and Fuyutuski that it was obvious the Angel had shut down the power and then moved in for the kill. He began walking toward Gendou's office and focused his spider sense. There seemed to be nothing to fear but he was ready just in case. Peter walked in.

"You wanted to see me?" Peter asked.

Gendou remained in his position and looked at Peter. "Yes, we all need to discuss the lawsuit that is facing us as a result of the power outage."

Peter scratched the back of his head. "I'm more of a scientist than a legal expert."

"That is why we hired a defense lawyer. Mr. Murdock?"

A tall man in a black business suit walked in. He had light blond hair and sunglasses on. He tapped the floor ahead of him.

(We now interrupt your regularly scheduled programming...)

Nick: Why the hell are you stopping the story?

Rune: I have a finger cramp.

Nick: And you interrupted the story for that?

Rune: Actually I needed filler.

(And now back to your regularly scheduled programming...)

"Well speak of the devil," Peter said.

Misato looked between the two. "You guys know each other?"

Peter laughed. "It would be hard for me not to know the best lawyer in all of Hell's Kitchen."

"Please, Dr. Parker is exaggerating," Matt said.

"Yeah right, you know how many cases you've won!"

Later...

Pete and Matt were sitting at the kitchen table in Peter's apartment having a couple of beers.

"Spill it, you wouldn't come all the way here just for a case."

Matt Murdock sighed and took off his sunglasses. "I got an anonymous call saying that you needed help down here quick."

Peter laughed and nearly choked. "Y-you've got to be kidding me! Every baddie that's come here I've taken care of."

"I noticed," Matt said. "Isn't it strange that Electro came the same day of an Angel attack?"

"Well, Electro isn't exactly the smartest tool in the shed."

"Peter, listen to me. I saw a news report saying that Magneto escaped, if we're not careful..."

Peter scoffed and downed the rest of the beer. "What in Heaven's name would bring him here?"

Outskirts of Tokyo-3...

The Master of Magnetism threw the recon truck into the distance. Magneto would do SEELE's little job and then he would show his so-called masters why none alive could hold him captive and use him as a tool of war.

"Ah, the lights of a city brimming with destruction," Magneto said to himself.

He flew to the top of a building that overlooked the majority of the city. Magneto saw about two miles to his right there was an entrance to the GeoFront.

Two days Later...

The air tasted like death. Or that was what Wolverine said. The X-Men had been staying in a hotel awaiting the arrival of Magneto. Nate walked in.

"Guys, I got something here."

The others looked at the article the X-Man was holding. It was a newspaper that showed Spider-Man versus the Green Goblin. Cyclops brow furrowed.

"Why is he here?"

"Well, Pete took a job at NERV, and I used my powers on a larger scale to find out what is at thgis Nerv. Those Angel attacks, they own giant robots to fight them," Nate said while pulling his costume out of his suitcase.

Beast took off his spectacles. "This could be what Magneto came for."

"A foul wind is blowing," Storm spoke.

Wolverine let out his claws. "It doesn't matter. I want a piece of this. Let's get into this place."

NERV...

The pilots were having a scheduled sync test.

"That's pretty good. Shinji would you mind staying for a little longer?" Ritsuko asked.

Maya excuse herself so she could get a cup of coffee. Once at the machine she sighed yet heard a noise come from behind her.

"Greetings."

She turned around and saw a man in purple armor floating a foot off the floor.

Magneto smiled grimly. "You shall do for the first death."

He ripped a piece of metal from the wall and prepared to hurl it at her when a telekinetic blast hit the metal and Magneto.

Magneto got up and turned around. "Ah, my dear Nathan, still using your powers I see."

The X-Man and smiled and looked at him through his regular eye and his glowing one. "When people like you come back, I tend to use them again."

Wolverine and the others rounded the corner.

"What's up bub?"

Magneto grinned evilly. "Well, the Third Child will be dead in two minutes if someone doesn't go and save him."

Cyclops turned to Wolverine. "Logan, save him!"

Wolverine didn't respond well to hostage situations..

He roared and started slicing through walls. Luckily his sense of smell led him to where Shinji was.

Magneto looked at the others. "Now, what brought you here?"

Peter had heard some noise and decided to check it out, he was halfway through changing when he rounded the corner.

"Uh... hi?"

Sync Area...

Wolverine went up to three pods and watched as one of them was trying to lose itself from the wall. He jumped onto it and started clawing his way into it.

He expected several things to be in there, but not this. A scared child limp with fear. The immense anger he had felt before now passed into sympathy. This was a new low even for Magneto.

"Come on kid, we have got to go if we don't want to die."

Shinji looked at the claws and at the plug surrounding him. He went toward Wolverine. Wolverine picked him up, and at the exact moment that the plug loosed itself from the wall he jumped out of it and through the glass into the observation area.

Misato and the others saw this beast like man jump in holding Shinji. Misato took out her gun.

"PUT HIM DOWN!!!!"

Wolverine looked straight at the barrel of the gun. "Listen lady, I don't have time for this. If you're going to shoot me, shoot me."

Misato put down her gun.

"Now get this kid to the Evangelions, I have work to do."

Magneto was getting his ass handed to him in a hat. Spider-Man launched a kick that sent him through a wall and into the cages.

Spider-Man looked up at the Evangelions. "Oh... no."

Magneto's plan was all too clear to them now.

The Master of Magnetism went toward the workers to show that he meant business when a red blur came past him, delivering a powerful uppercut.

Nate shook his head. "Always the last to arrive, ay Daredevil."

"Sorry just heard the news."

Wolverine busted through a wall and ran to the others.

Magneto smiled. "Ah, the X-Men, the Devil, and the Spider. Now my revenge is complete."

He flew up above the three Evas and lifted his hands.

"AWAKED, SPAWN OF ADAM!!!!!!"

A radius of five miles around NERV shook as the Evas broke free of their bonds and lurched forward.

A voice came from the intercom. "All NERV personnel evacuate, control of the Evas ahs been lost. I repeat, control has been lost."
