Chapter 13

Hey there! Since Alexandra/Nova10 still can't write, I am right now writing this chapter for her, in her hospital room (she has been glaring at me all day and repeating ''You better not screw this up'').

In the Mt Fuji observation post two people were doing the night shifts. Ever since the angel wars ended a few months ago security have been lessened, now there are only two people doing night shifts. Everything was silent and the soft humming of machinary filled the air. Suddenly a strange beeping sound was heard. Immediatly the two observers went to the beeping machine.

"That's odd, we are picking up a Ritcher scale 2 earthquake", said one of the men.

"Where is it coming from?" enquired the other man.

"Its coming from NERV, sir", the man responded.

"Ignore it. Knowing NERV they are probably up to something..."

~*~*~*~*~

"HA! Shame beat that Kyoko!", yelled Yui as she scored a triple A. In the Eva hanger people have crowded around it watching the spectacle. At first it was the Eva techs who were watching them. Ten munites later the science depatment joined in. Another few minutes later, the bridge crew and the security team were also joined in as well. In the Eva hanger the Evas have set up a giant mat linked to a huge big screen TV. Around them large speakers were blasting music. Needless to say the Evas were playing Dance Dance Revolution.

"Any bets?" yelled a spectator.

"I bet a ten on Eva-01", shouted who sounded like Maya.

"A twenty", shouted another of the bridge bunnies(sorry i can't remember the name of the dude with the glasses).

"A fifty", said Gendo. Suddenly there was silence as everyone stared at the commander in shock.

"I have trust in Yui. She has been playing this game ever since high school", said Gendo.

"And she wasted you everytime as well", added the sub-commander. Gendo remained silent. Sowly people resumed what they did before they were shocked into oblivion by the commanders.

"Popcorn, who wants popcorn", shouted a NERV employee.

"Do you have peanuts?" shouted Maya.

"Sure", said the man as he chucked a bag of peanuts to Maya. After paying him, Maya started to guzzle down the peanuts.

Silence took over as a new round was about to start. The three Evas took their place awaiting the music and dance steps. Then blazing over the the speakers was the Dance Like You Want To Win music.

~*~*~*~*~

Kaji and his gang were desperate. When Misato yelled at them their paint got stripped off by her voice, now they need something to 'cover up'.

"Hey look what I found", yelled Eva-09 as he pointed to a door which reads 'Eva Supplies'. They grinned.

~*~*~*~*~

Things were not much quieter in Misato's apartment. Since the LAN competition was tomorrow everyone was trying to practise as much as they can, especially when there was a mystery prize for the winner. In Asuka's room she was going ballistic on Unreal Tornament Second Impact Edision. Meanwhile Misato was brushing up her skills on StarCraft Finale Judgement. However Shana was just trying to sleep throught the racket. 'Damnit why do they have to turn the volume so loud', thought Shana just as a grenade impacted impacted a tank and cascaded into an unlucky player.

~*~*~*~*~

The next day in the Eva hanger Yui was sleeping contently in her cage. Yui manage to win almost every single Dance Dance Revolution game with Kyko and Eva-00. After a while she decide to wake up and connected herself to the mainframe waiting for the competition to start.

"Hey are you going to join the competition?" asked Yui as she plugged herself in.

"Nope, me and Eva-00 here have unfinished bussiness", replied the red Eva.

"Lets dual!" shouted both Evas. Somehow two Dance Dance Revolutions mat appeared out of no where. Yui sweatdropped.

~*~*~*~*~

In the bridge the competitors where sighning up. Off course Asuka and Shana were the first people in the line to sign up. Surprisingly the two commanders signed up as well.

"Ok, will the competitors please follow me", yelled Ritsuko over a megaphone. Silently Ristuko lead them to a corridor which leads to an unknown part of NERV. Reaching the end of the corridor she opened the door. Many gasps were heard as they saw what seems to be a gamers heaven. There was a sea of computers with every imaginable game possible. Leading the awed crowd she stopped in front of a number of large boxes.

"Ok, this competition involves several genres. There will be a first person shooter competition, followed by a stradegy game one, then a driving simulation, the last one will be a suprise. In between each competition there will be a fifteen minute break. The first competition will be the fisrt person shooter. Any questions?"

There was silence.

"Get into a box, if you need help press the red button. Oh and remember no cheating", said Ritsuko before she exited the room. As Shana stepped into one of the box he saw Asuka and Rei in the corner of his eyes doing the same thing. Stepping into the box she saw a set of goggles and a glove. All of this were wired into a socket.

When Shana put her goggles and gloves on she gasped at the realness of the game. In front of Shana was the virtual battle field. She looked around and searched for a weapon. As she took the two Mp5s, a pistol and knife, she marvelled at how real everything was. She felt like he was actually holding it, she was postive that he could feel the coldness of the gun.

Over the radio he heard Ritsuko's voice again. "The person with the most kills at least death in an hour wins the match. BEGIN!"

Instantly Shana roared to life as she ran into a tunnel.

~*~*~*~*~

Asuka was going Terminator style as she roasted a gamer with a plasma flamer and finished him off with a blast from the shotgun. Anyone could tell that she was enjoying this A LOT. She turned around just as she was shot by a random NERV employee. The bullet missed but she returned the favour by emptying a whole round into him. 'Too bad they don't feel the pain', thought Asuka as she carried on her killing streak.

~*~*~*~*~

Rei was walking through the corridors of the game. Just as she was taking a turn another gamer ambushed her. Growling in frustration she knocked him over with the crowbar and ran back. Thinking that Rei was running away he ran after her. When Rei got far enough of the man she smiled and unveiled her suprise. The man gasped in horror a very relistic model of Rei in a slim powered suit was holding an impossibly large rocket launcher... in his direction.

~*~*~*~*~

Gendo was having a time of his life. Being an evil bastard does have its reward. Everytime someones sees him they basically got a heart attack and stood there stunned praying to Jesus. It was during that time of shock that Gendo shoots them in the head before walking off. Gendo also remembered the time when he faced a NERV tech. Ritsuko programmed the game so well that the oppostion began shiting his pants virtually... just as he was shiting his pants in the real world. As Gendo turned around he was greeted by the sight of Yui in her labcoat, holding an assualt rifle.

~*~*~*~*~

In other part of the game Misato was having a shoot out with Kaji. Misato, who looked a lot like Tomb Raider with long purple hair was shooting at Kaji with dual pistols. She ducked just in time as a James Bond/Kaji fired back.

~*~*~*~*~

Shana gutted a gamer with a long commando knife before turning around a fired a round of bullets at the two intruders. Fairly sure that she killed everyone in this area she ran into a hall meeting another figure. Asuka. They stood there looking at each other. Asuka's model was amazingly realistic from the long red hair to the deadly gaze. She was amazed at how real the glare was. Meanwhile Asuka was observing Shana. She was wearing sunglasses and a trenchcoat which goes down to her ankles. Shana looked a lot like Shinji, except for the fact that she has hair up to her shoulders and the fact that she has breast and hips. The model of Shana reminded her of a pre-impact movie called the matrix. Ironically the matrix music came on as they both rolled into action.

~*~*~*~*~

Gendo was barely keeping Yui away from him. Gendo was blazing bullets all over the place, but funny enough none of them seemed to hit her. Yui was still continuing her advance towards Gendo, she switched her weapon to a crowbar as she was getting closer to him. Gendo knowing what will happen to him if she gets close enough went to his last option. Switching from the assault rifles he brought out his automatic grenade launchers. All around him were explosions and bits of rocks and debris were flying all over the place as Gendo fired everything he had towards Yui's direction. Gendo finally came to a stop as he ran out of ammo. Checking his weapons Gendo relised the dreadful truth that he has no more ammo for everthing. He even freaking chucked his knife at her! Gendo hoped that he finished her off in that crazy assualt. His wish fell on deaf ears however as a tattered looking Yui emerged from the flames. Holding a crowbar she procceded towards him. Looking at Yui carefully he noticed that the explosion have torn some clothing off revealing some of her...err...figure. Gendo could have sworn that Yui's model smiled as she walked towards him.

~*~*~*~*~

Misato and Kaji were still shooting at each other with no side winning or losing. Misato who relised that her ammo was running short devised a plan. Misato stopped shooting and decided to let Kaji finish off his ammo first. Kaji was no fool and stop shooting when Misato stopped shooting. However this was not all of Misato's plan. Kaji noticed something next to him, turing his head around he saw Misato with her pistol to his head. 'De ja vu', thought Kaji as his screen went blank.

~*~*~*~*~

All around the hall bits of rocks were chipped out as bullets impacted on the rock walls. Shana grabbed her Mp5s and went wild making Asuka run behind a rock column. Shana did the same thing while reloading. This time it was Asuka who lead the offensive. Charging towards Shana, she let the jets of flame from her flamer fly. While Shana ran from the flames Asuka emerged from it with two pistols blazing. One of the bullets impacted her arm, effectively knocking out 10% of her health. Shana retaliated by chucking a grenade which also knocked out 10% of Asuka's health since Asuka couldn't run fast enough to dodge it. Grunting Asuka lifted herself up and decided to go hand to hand combat as she pulled out a knife. Shana however pulled out her pistol as Asuka went in front of her. "Dodge this", said Shana coldly over the com. "That's what you get for making me stay awake the whole night". Shana pulled the trigger, which killed Asuka.

~*~*~*~*~

A loud buzzing was heard as the hour was over. People got out of their simulators and some of them were glaring at the pilots. Everyone crowded around the results.

1st place: Shana Akiri 68kills 3deaths

Looking at the results Asuka was furious. 'If the cheat didn't pull out that pistol if would have won' grummbled Asuka in her mind as she went 'Shana hunting'.

~*~*~*~*~

Meanwhile in another part of Tokyo-3 school was just about to start. In a certain classroom everyone sat down when the teacher walked in. "Ok class we have a new student today''. All attention ws directed towards the teacher now. "Please give a warm welcome to Micheal Shisha". On cue a boy with silvery gold hair stepped in shyly.

"My name is Micheal Shisha, I'm very pleased to meet you".

So did I screw up like Alexandra/Nova10 said? Please prove her wrong by reviewing ^_^
