The equipment from the ark base had been moved straight to NERV 2, all Ark staff had escaped, "Looks like the staff here are still being informed of what's going on, some of them have gone insane or had an emotional breakdown, I don't blame them, finding out that your in the future with all your relatives and friends long dead and add that to genesis, jees, its a wonder why people aren't insane in this time." Shou said as he stood in a large dark room, there was a large symbol on the floor, "No sign of Yoji, why did he give his life for us after we put him through so much?" Emiko said stood next to him, the bright white light from a large distant window lighting them, "No remains were found, the Eva would have left traces but nothing, so he might not be dead, but if he is were screwed." Shou replied, "hmmmm, so who's in charge of this base?" Emiko asked, "A Commander Shuya Masaki, but after hearing that his three year old daughter was gone he went to his room a committed suicide, harsh as it is we now have exclusive command over this base, and because of the original staff being transported from Japan there is no language gap, we also have Eva unit-04 and the sixth child, Hitomi Sazaki."

"We also have our second in command Major Ryoko Tinkawa, she is the reason why Hitomi is still mentally stable, Hitomi was left to die in Hiroshima after second impact, Ryoko took care of her since then, please enter Ryoko." Shou called out, a door opened and in stepped a woman with shoulder length green hair, "Commander Shou we like to use rank around here." Ryoko said as she stepped forward, "I don't care about rank as long as you do your part." Shou replied, Emiko frowned as a drop of sweat ran down her temple, Ryoko was flirting with Shou, and with her looks Ryoko posed a threat to her chances with Shou.

A thud was heard, sirens went off, "What was that?!" Shou shouted down his earpiece, "Sensors confirm code blue!!! It's an angel!!! Identified as Azazel!!!" the soldier on the other end shouted, "Lets see how good you are?" Ryoko said to Emiko, "What do we know?!" Emiko said to the soldier as she frowned again at Ryoko, "Nothing else!", "You could always use our MAGI computer system?" Ryoko said the three of them left for the MAGI control room.

MAGI control room...

The room was vast, it had large holographic screens, three large red computers below and everything was a silvery purple, Ryoko, Shou and Emiko were on the top level, "This is Akito, 2nd Eva condition monitor." a man with a tied back black pony tail and a faint moustache, sat in the far right chair, "Sakura Ibuki, 1st combat monitor." in the front centre seat was a middle aged woman with very long black hair, "Unfortunately due to another mental effect the other Eva tech is in care." Ryoko said, "I'll do it, ill take command from that post." Emiko replied, "Has the S2 engine for unit-04 been corrected?!" she shouted down through a new blue headset, a soldier replied "Ten more minutes!", "She fixed an S2 engine in forty minutes?!?!" Ryoko said, "Our technology advanced a little differently, since the human race had to rebuild itself, we came from the LCL sea and you came from Adam, deploy Asuka in unit-02, Asuka can you destroy it?" Emiko said.

"Sure, now is the time to prove myself, without our knight in shinning armour Shinji or wonder girl Rei to save me I don't have a choice." Asuka replied through the holographic screen that came up in her entry plug.

The large monitor in the MAGI room displayed the large city that was near the base, the angel was destroying it with ease, the angel was like a black liquid, its red core was hanging over a cross section in the street being held up by its liquid like body latching on to the surrounding buildings, "Launch Eva unit-02 in five, four, three, two, one, launch!!!" with the Eva's being held under ground unit-02 fired up through the a catapult.

Asuka pulled her progressive dagger out from the Eva's shoulder compartment, the red Eva ran straight at the angels core, the angel shot out another part of its body, the tip sharpened and stabbed straight through the AT field into unit-02's shoulder, "Aaaah! Shist!" Asuka shouted, "Asuka's in trouble launch unit-04!" Emiko shouted, the silver Eva shot up through the ground as well, "I don't know if I can do it." Hitomi said, the small holographic screen showing a girl with short brown hair in a blue flight suit, Hitomi was a shy girl, "You've trained for it so don't worry." Ryoko shouted and Hitomi nodded.

"No!!! Stay back, I'm not out yet!" Asuka screamed, unit-02 stabbed at the liquid like object which was stabbed through its shoulder, its stabbed over and over again only slightly cracking, "Sakura what have you got on the angel?!" Emiko shouted, "Its body is a polymer! It can change its density, it can be as strong as titanium or as weak as water, the only part that stays solid is the core!!!" Sakura replied, "Heads up, sensors show code purple, confirmed as a fallen angel!!! Target identified as Samshel!!!" Akito shouted.

"Hitomi, can you deal with the other fallen angel for now?!" Emiko asked, Hitomi nodded with confidence, Samshel sped towards the area in which the battle was taking place, its large body hovering over the ground, it stopped right in front of the Azazel's core but Azazel fired out drops of its black body which hardened and stabbed straight through Samshel knocking it back, the silver Eva rushed forward to attack while Samshel was injured, "I am not gonna fail ever again, I'm not gonna need anyone!!!" Asuka screamed, unit-02 went berserker, its face armour opening to reveal four bright white eyes, the red Eva twisted and turned, snapping hardened object that was stabbed into it, Azazel fire more spikes at unit-02 but Asuka's Eva ran forward healing the wound in its shoulder and smashing the spikes away with a fast backhand.

Unit-02 threw down the progressive dagger, and jumped at the core, Azazel covered its core with a circle of its own hardened body, unit-02 used the long spear like object that had impaled it to stab the shielded core, the shield slowly cracked and the sharp object stabbed into the core beyond, the angel and Eva went silent before the angel liquefied dropping unit-02 to the street below, "Unit-02 has fallen silent, Asuka are you ok?!" Emiko shouted, "Yeah I'm ok I guess, I did it mother." Asuka said.

Mean while unit-04 had been stabbed by Samshel's tentacles after leaving an axe in the fallen angels diamond shaped head, Hitomi was in tremendous pain, she couldn't do anything, "Hitomi's vital signs are fading, were gonna lose her, we cant get Mike, or Kaworu to her in time!!!" Sakura shouted.

Unit-04 went silent, suddenly another flash of light appeared, the light faded revealing unit-06, it was already in berserker mode, it ran straight for Samshel but before the red Eva reached it Samshel was pulled to the floor by the silver unit-04, it to had gone berserker, Samshel withdrew the tentacles from the silver Eva, "Oh my god. Two Eva's in berserker mode." Emiko said to herself.

Both Eva's ran at Samshel and instantly started ripping into the fallen angel, the two Eva's bit, pulled and ripped off parts of the now what seemed defenceless fallen angel, they ate at it like wild animals, the combined destructive power of two berserker Eva's was unimaginable, to the people inside the base seeing the most deadliest enemy to mankind get beaten and torn apart like a rag doll was deeply disturbing.

After leaving what was left of Samshel, the two berserker Eva's turned there attention to the base, their gaze locked on to NERV2 HQ, "Umm Emiko? I don't mean to hassle but..." Shou was cut off, "I know! I know! Don't worry I've got a plan! Are unit's 05, 07 and 08 on standby?!" Emiko shouted, "Confirmed all remaining Eva's ready to launch!" Akito replied, Emiko gave the go ahead to launch and the Eva's fired up through the catapults one by one, "Mike, hold off unit-04, Kaworu hold off unit-06, use your wings if it goes aerial and Shoko pull Asuka out of that mess!" all the pilots agreed before splitting off in different directions.

Unit-06 ran straight at Kaworu's white grinning Eva, as it did it fired out its wings, it jumped high in to the air and used both feet to stamp on unit- 05's chest, it pounded its fist down again and again making Kaworu cough as he struggled to keep it from flying off, "Connection between unit's 05 and 06 confirmed!!! Activating disable programme." Sakura shouted, electricity pulsed through unit's 05 and 06 causing both Eva's to collapse, "That's quite a nice little trick." Ryoko said, "It uses a high voltage shock to short out the Eva's muscle tissue temporarily paralysing it, after what we read from the book of Ikari we aren't taking any risk when holding Eva's." Emiko replied.

"Fortunately we have a measure of our own." Ryoko replied smugly, she gave the go head to Akito "OK, so let's see how strong this old style Eva is!" Mike said still wanting a challenge, but before he could reach unit-04 the charging silver Eva started to limp and then it tripped, it was struggle but still crawling towards Mike, kept slowing until it eventually stopped completely its white eyes disappearing, "Awe crap!" Mike shouted distressed at the fact that a decent challenge was gone.

"Anabolic acids. Built into unit-04 after unit-01 first went berserker." Ryoko said, "Anabolic acids? You mean you gave it a giant cramp?!" Emiko asked, Ryoko smiled, the grey unit-08 was carrying Asuka's red Eva closer to the base, and "I did it." Asuka said to herself.
