Ch. 25: Comeith the Destroyer

"So," asked Shinji, as he and Asuka where eating, "What's on your mind?"

"I just feel....." said Asuka, "funny........like something big is about to happen."

"My sentiments exactly," said Dingo sitting down with his own meal, "I know, Ni knows something about it. He's not talking though. He won't even tell us how he got his mech."

"Dingo," Asuka said suddenly, "When are you going to question him again?"

"After I eat. He's close to cracking, I know it. He keeps changing the subject."

"Could I.......come with? I have some questions of my own."

"I don't see why not. Ken came with me last time. She had some questions too. But, she never did get what she was looking for."

The door of the dark ceil cracked open.

"Back again I see," said a calm and collected voice in a corner.

"Yes, and I'll keep coming back, until you answer me," stated Dingo, "Asuka, careful around this guy. He may look half dead, but, he's got lightning fast reflexes."

"I'll keep that in mind," answered Asuka.

"So, this is Asuka," Ni said calmly, "Funny, you don't look like a novice. NERV must have low standards."

"Cut the crap Ni," snapped Dingo, "who do you work for?"

"Myself."

"Who sent you?"

"I sent me. You're a broken record. You and that Commander Guy. Always the same questions, day after day, after day, after day. It's so boring."

"Why do you fight?" asked Asuka, placing a hand on Dingo's shoulder to calm him down.

"Simple, revenge."

"Why do you act so ready to die?"

"That, is none of your damn business little girl. Why don't you go run along and play with your dollies."

"Don't talk to her like that!" snapped Dingo once more.

"Temper, temper Dingo. We don't want an old guy like you getting a hear attack."

"Why you cocky little......."

"All combat personal to your posts. There is a large force approaching," Ritsuko informed over the loud speaker.

"I'll be back later," said Dingo.

"Not if the invasion force kills you first," said Ni darkly, "the 6 most powerful colonies have been planning this for a long time. It's about time, they started working in my favor."

"Ok, so, you all know the out line for the up coming battle," Misato was saying, "are there any questions?"

"I have non REALLY little question Misato," Asuka asked, "how are we supposed to kill 100000 enemy units, when, there are only 5 of us!"

".......ummmmm.............Ritsuko's working on it?"

"So, we are going out into battle, with no plan?"

"Boy, this brings back bad memories, like, our fights with angels," commented Shinji, wincing at the remembrance of a few such battles.

"Any other questions? No? Then LAUNCH!" ordered Misato.

"So,........" said Asuka, "we just have to take out, 20000 units a piece.......great........"

"Any one else think this is suicide?" asked Ken.

"I think,.......there are still more units out there...." commented Dingo

"How do you figure that?" asked Shinji.

"Something Ni said. He said, 6 colonies where behind this....and.......100000 isn't evenly divisible by 6."

"Well, lets get to work," sighed Asuka.

"Agreed," stated Rei.

After about an hour of fighting.......

"This seems....too easy...." Dingo voiced aloud.

"Ya, for every dragon, they send at us, they send 9 old mechs. And the mechs aren't even equipped for combat right," added Shinji.

"Ya, this is just a waste of my time, and energy. Oh well, at least my Eva02 is getting a good work out," commented Asuka.

"........Shit..........." stated Dingo, "that's it."

"What? What's it?"

"You just said it."

"I did?"

"Yes, 'a waste of my time and energy'."

"Oh, I get it," voiced Shinji, "They're wasting our energy again."

"Why do you always fall of this?" asked Ken.

"No, here's the real question. Who has over half power left?"

"I do," said Ni over the COM, "In fact, I have full power."

"How the hell did you get out!" shouted Dingo, and Asuka.

"Good behavior. Plus, I said I'd help you guys fight. We all know you need it."

".....great........" moaned Asuka, "just....great."

"Shut up, and point your weapons at the moon."

"Why? That won't help. All the remaining guys are running away," stated Ken.

"If I was going to hide a large attack force, I'd hide it behind the moon, until my opponents where low on energy or ammunition."

Suddenly, the dark side of the moon became visible. Floating in the shadow of the moon, was what must have been, 50000 Orbital Frames, in......thousands of pieces. A lone mech, of unknown origin or design, floated in the center of the clutter.

"There are 2 things I hate in life. People who don't play fair, and people who can't back up what they say," said a clam voice, "And wouldn't you know it, I find a small army of both."
