Now, to the story. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------
Ch. 20: The Wild Card
"Tell me again," asked Asuka indignantly, "why are we out here?"
"We have reports that there was a break in at a colony, where, the individuals hacked the main frame, and stole classified information about the Evas, as well as destroyed the defensive systems," stated Rei blandly.
"But," sighed Asuka exasperatedly, "why are we floating around in space!"
"We are to provide defensive support, until the colony is back up and running with in expectable parameters."
"In coming bogies," said Ken abruptly, "I count about 30 of them."
"Ok, everyone get ready," said Dingo, "........what the hell????"
"What?" asked Asuka.
"There's some battle mechs approaching as well. 100 of them."
There was a moment of silence, while everyone tried to hold in their laughter.
"Ha, Ha!" laughed Asuka, breaking the silence, "Are they trying to laugh us to death! Those are pitiful, why, even SHINJI could beat twice that many!"
"I don't think we'll have to worry about them," said Ken, "Looks like some of the dragons are going to face attack them too."
"Well, lets get to work," sighed Shinji.
The dragons began to circle them, and one by one, they swooped in to attack.
Slowly, they began chipping away at the number of dragons before them.
"Hey, Dingo? How many of those mechs are left right now?" Asuka asked as she killed another dragon with ease.
".....all of them....and they're coming towards us," replied Dingo some what amused, "They're either really good, or really lucky. Either way, they're really stupid."
The mechs surrounded them, and opened fire.
"Hey! Watch the Paint Job!" shouted Asuka as bullets flew around them.
With in seconds, all of the dragons where floating limply around in space, every thing else, was left undamaged.
"They....helped us?" Shinji said blankly, "Why?"
"That's what I wana know," said Asuka, as she moved forward, but Dingo beat her to it.
"Identify yourselves," announced Dingo.
"You will surrender your vessels to us," replied a voice.
"No we won't!" shouted Asuka.
"Ni Wain, target that loud mouth, and fire," ordered the voice.
"Ok, but, I don't see the point in it," replied another voice.
A mech with a large cannon took aim and fired a missile at Asuka and Eva02.
Asuka raised her At Field, which easily stopped the missile, resulting in Eva02 not receiving a scratch from the attack.
"See? I just wasted a missile, and these one's aren't cheap. I trust you will, reimburse me?" stated Ni Wain.
"We'll talk later, Ni, but now, ATTACK!!" shouted the first voice.
"This won't take long," said Asuka.
The number of mechs was quickly reduced down to 2. Strangely enough, it had been the only 2 voices that had spoken.
(A/N: Gee, how convenient for Me. ;) )
Asuka was engaged with the Mech that had fired at her, while everyone else tried to break threw a shield the leader had set up.
"Why...won't........you......hold......still!" shouted Asuka
"This all you got little girl?" asked Ni Wain.
"I'll show you!"
In a flash, Asuka disappeared.
"Zero Shift. How, predictable. 5, 4, 3, 2," said Ni calmly
He turned his mech around.
"1, 0," Ni said as he pulled the trigger on his rifle.
"SHIT!" shouted Asuka as her boaster exploded.
"Darn, I missed. I was aiming for your chest. These are armor piercing bullets after all."
Asuka floated helplessly in space, unable to move with out her boasters.
"Damn you!" shouted Asuka.
"You should count yourself lucky," snarled Ni.
Ni touched the barrel of his cannon to the head of Eva02.
"Tell me, little girl, why should I let you live?"
"Damn you........"
"Oh, come now, that's no reason. So, little girl, why should I spare you?"
"If you're going to kill me, you can at least show your face, you coward."
"No, I don't show my face to people. Unless they cheat me out of something I deserve, then I show them my face, just be for I kill them. But, you know, you.....seem to be pretty spunky. For a girl with a gun on her. So, what's your name little girl?"
"Stop calling my that!"
"Then, what should I call you..........little girl?"
"I am the Great Asuka Langley Soryu, and when I get my hands on you, you're dead!"
".....Asuka.....I'll let you live, for now. You should feel honored."
"Ni, we're pulling out," announced the leader.
"Okay, it's been fun. Don't worry, I'll be back later to finish all of you."
The 2 mechs then retreated.
"What kind of shield was that!" shouted Ken, "It took 2 Vector Cannons at the same time!"
"It was a copy of an AT Field. They must have created it from the information they stole," stated Rei.
"What about that other guy," commented Dingo, "No one could touch him."
"Shut up! I'll get him next time," said Asuka, "but first, could one of you give me a lift?"
Mean while, as a base in a colony orbiting Venus, the two mechs landed.
"Ni!" shouted the leader.
"Now what?" asked Ni, sounding like he didn't care.
"How did YOU know about that shield? I never told anyone about it. And, you seem to know a lot for a mercenary!"
"I'm no mercenary. I just have some......personal problems to handle."
"Oh, and what might those problems be!"
"Simple. I will destroy the power that was denied to me. I will erase every trace of my first and only failure."
"So, you where a candidate to pilot it......but, why do you want to destroy it? Why not use it?"
"It destroyed my life, so, I will destroy it."
"But.....If we steal the Evas and the reincarnated Anubis, we can rule the universe."
"I, think it would be best if I took my leave."
"Should we meet again, I'll kill you."
"No you won't. Because there are only a hand full of people who can match up against me, and win. And, you aren't one of them."
With that said, Ni re-entered his mech, and went into space once more.
