Asuka Strikes
By: Byakko of the West

Disclaimer: I own a paper plane that some guy threw at me and miraculously hit me in the eye though I have glasses but not Evangelion.

Author's Notes: Dessau mentioned in his REVIEW (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) that it's 'Asuka strikes' and not 'Enter Asuka'. Where I got 'Enter Asuka' I don't know but it's not changed to 'Asuka Strikes'. Thanks for all the reviews guys, I liked them.^^

Recap of Chapter 2

The dark-haired boy looked up at her, smiling back. "I'll tell you when I see how it stands up to Angel's?"

She scowled at him. "And when will that be?"

Before he could answer though, an earthquake erupted, shaking the boat and the two teens. Unable to keep her balance, Asuka fell from where she once stood, sliding down the coated steel. Luck for her, she slid straight for where Shinji stood and, being the gentleman he was, caught her before she hit the ground. But, because of her momentum, he fell backwards, her now straddling his lap. "I think that just answered your question."

Chapter 3

"Status report!" Captain Katsuragi Misato demanded, running up to stand behind a man at the computer. Just when she was starting to get through to her ex, an Angel decided to attack. 'Damn things...'

The man sweated nervously, typing things into the main computer extremely fast. "It just appeared out of no where! We didn't read anything on our radar until the earthquake!" he said, rolling his chair to the right so he could type something else in the returned to his post. "It's only two hundred and thirty-five meters away and closing in fast!" he looked over his shoulder at his Captain. "Sir, what do we do?"

The elder man frowned at the radar on the screen then, "We attack with whatever we have, full force!" he boomed while speaking into a nearby microphone.

Several 'Yes sir's were heard on a speaker then everyone on that ship watched as the Angel appeared from the sea, jumping high in the air, almost taunting them to try and harm it. And they did. Using all the turrets onboard the ships, the crew began firing at the messenger of God but, to the dismay of everyone, the creature merely flopped back into the water, the huge splash causing two ships to tip over.

Misato's face held a determined look as she turned to the other Captain. "See what I meant?"

The man was far too frightened to answer, instead he just shook, staring at the screen as three more of his ships were taken down by the Angel.

"Sir! The Evangelion is moving!" the man at the computer told him. He typed something again then waited and began typing again. "The entry-plug is in! It's up and ready!"

Five minutes ago...

Getting off of the boy underneath her, Soryu Asuka Langley stood, looking around, ready for another attack. She saw the man get up and dust off his pants as if it were nothing. "Well? What do we do now?" she asked, uncertain.

Ikari Shinji looked up for a minute, placing his hands in his pockets. "I think the best thing to do is get back to Misato." He looked at her then to an elevator door nearby. "Come on! Let's go!" he grabbed her hand, mostly just for the contact, and pulled her towards the door. When they reached it however, they found out that it wasn't working and Asuka proceeding to do the next best thing. Pulling a bag out from under the cover that was on top of her precious Unit 02, she took out two red plug-suits, throwing one at Shinji. "Where can we change?"

His eyes bugged out as he stared at the breastplates. This plug-suit was far too small for him. "Um...we?"

She nodded placing her hands on her hips. "Well, duh! Would you rather stay on this thing and die?" she asked, glaring at him.

He shook his head slowly but grimaced none the less. "Um...Soryu-san, I don't think I'll fit in this thing." He said, still holding the suit in one hand and scratched the back of his head with the other.

She let out a frustrated groan and took him by the ear, pulling him towards the cover once again. "You stay out here while I change." She lifted it up then turned back to him. "And no peeking!" then was submerged in the blanket.

He stood there, dumbfounded at what to do and decided to just wait until she was done and hope that no one would see him in the extra-tight suit. After a few minutes, he nearly had a heart attack when she came out from her changing place. She had been wearing a dress earlier and he hadn't had a good chance to look at her...properly (A/N: You baka-hentai Shinji! Bad boy!). He hadn't noticed 'til now that she had perfect curves in all the right places. And talk about those breasts...

"Hey, dummkoepf (sp?)! Go get changed so we can hurry up!" she pushed him into the blanket and he took a glance back at her before going under.

Standing there with her hands on her hips, she tapped her foot impatiently, never taking her eyes off the cover where the handsome looking boy was changing. Just when she thought she couldn't take anymore, he came out, a blush on his cheeks and covering his lower region. She raised an eyebrow at him, smirking. So much for the handsome looking part... "Are you ready to roll yet?"

He nodded sheepishly, keeping his eyes on the ground, not daring to look up at her. He felt ridiculous in this suit and wished to any God that would listen to him that someone would just pop up with his own. Before he knew it, he was standing next to the sitting Asuka, inside her EVA. How he got there, he didn't know...(A/N: sorry, it's me again. It don't know how they got in there so I'm making it so that Shinji doesn't either ^^;). He listened as she went through a series of commands in, he supposed, German and after he thought it was starting up, it went dark again.

Turning to the man next to her, she smacked him on the head. "Ikari-san! If you're going to think, think in German!"

Nodding, Shinji began thinking of words in the weird language. "Um...lederhosen?" he thought out loud by accident and received another smack.

She sighed and spoke to the computer. "Switch language to Japanese." It did so. The second child started her commands over again, this time in a language the third understood, and by the end, the insides began going through different color schemes, ending with a view of the outside, which was totally yellow because of the curtain. Annoyed, Asuka controlled the EVA to lift it's arm and remove the cover, rewarded with a view of the cloudless sky. Throwing it away, she commanded the 'robot' to get up and it did so. With the now extra weight, the boat started to sink in the water but the redhead balanced the weight to keep it leveled. A few seconds later, the image of Misato popped up to the two pilots right.

"Asuka, good work! Now, you've only got type A armor so you'll have to be extra careful. Is Shinji with you?" she asked hurriedly.

He leaned over her shoulder, missing the blush that appeared on his fellow fighter's face and smiled at Misato, waving. "Hey, Misato-san! I'm here!"

Before the Captain could answer, Ikari's friends' faces popped up on the screen. Suzahara Toji smirked. "Shinji, you dog! You got a chick right where you want her! Good job!" he gave them a thumbs up.

"You're so lucky, Shinji. You get to be in a totally different EVA, how does it feel?" Aida Kensuke asked but the two boys were pushed out of the way by Misato again.

"Men..." she huffed then turned back to the pilots. "We don't know much about this Angel so be careful, understand Asuka?" Misato's battle face was on again.

With a curt nod, the German girl looked ahead and pulled the controls a bit to test the EVA. In response, the large creation lifted its hand and retrieved its projector knife (A/N: Me again ^^; Is that what it's called? I can't remember anymore.), extended it's arms, the knife glowing ready. Asuka smirked and made the EVA jump to a different boat, forgetting about the crew inside. Shinji wasn't ready for it and accidentally fell forward, practically on top of Asuka.

"Shinji! This is no time for flirting, this is a real crisis! We don't have any weapons except you're knife so we have to improvise!" Misato yelled over the intercom.

Blushing to the ears, Shinji pulled back again and stared at his feet again. Why was everyone embarrassing him today?

Jumping to another boat, Asuka stood ready, waiting for the Angel to appear. But, underestimating it when it emerged from the waters, the two hadn't known that it would be as big as it was.

"WAAAHH!!" the two pilots screamed in unison, crushed by the huge, whale- like creature. Mustering all her strength, Asuka used the EVA to lift it off them, but was eaten in the midst by the Angel then they found themselves underwater, in 'the belly of the beast'.

Staring at the radar screen, Misato began formulating a plan. "Miss! There's only five thousand feet left (A/N: is that a lot?) of cord for the power cable! The Angel is pulling them away!"

"It's just like when we went fishing, ne Katsuragi?" she turned around to see her ex-lover leaning against the doorway, his eyes closed and smiling.

Peeved, she restrained herself from throwing something at Kaji Ryouji, which happened to be a coffee mug. "Kaji..." she droned out, "This isn't the time, or place!"

He opened his eyes to look at her. "Once you've caught it, all you have to do is reel them in." he hinted, grinning.

"...Fishing...?" A light bulb went off on top of her head and she smiled at him before turning to the screen again, bringing the mic to her face. "Asuka! Just hang in there, I have a plan!" She turned to the Sea Captain who was still shaking in his boots. "Captain, how many boats do you have left?" she demanded.

Shakingly, he answered. "Two battle cruisers, this one and the carrier." He managed to get out.

She nodded, thinking to herself. "Get all your men off the two battle cruisers that are left."

The old man seemed to awaken from his daze at this. "What did I tell you before, Captain Katsuragi!?" his voiced boomed, "I'm the Commander of this ship and I give the orders around here!"

Growling, she climbed the stairs to stare at his face. "We are all in danger and you're weapons have no effect on it. My plan is the closest thing to getting us out alive from here so either agree with me and live to see the ones you love or die without a goodbye." She spoke evenly.

Grunting, he turned to his first mate and ordered him to evacuate the other boats, putting it on manual from their ship.

When all the men were off the boats, drifting in lifeboats, Misato turned to the computer again. "Asuka, listen! Here's what we're going to do: We're going to reel in the power cable so just make sure to stay inside the Angel, got it?"

The voice over the intercom answered, "Roger!"

The purple haired woman turned to the man sitting next to her, typing away. "Get the carrier between the two battle ships but further away." He didn't reply. "NOW!" nearly jumping out of his seat, the man pressed a button and the wheel that held the long cable began reversing, bringing the Angel and Evangelion along with it. "Twenty seconds until target is in position," everyone watched the screen anxiously, "ten seconds," Asuka got the knife ready, "nine, eight, seven, six, five," Kaji watched as Misato leaned forward, smiling, "four, three, two, one. Target sighted!"

"FIRE!" Misato ordered and they complied by pressing down on a blinking red button, which set off the turrets. The EVA jumped from the Angel's now open mouth and onto one of the boats, waiting for the right moment. When the AT field was disabled momentarily by the firing, Unit 02 lunged forward, piercing the red sphere with its knife. A second later, the Angel disappeared.

"WooHoo!" cheering, everyone on the ships began jumping around, laughing and clapping. Not noticing what she was doing, Misato un-expectingly jumped into Kaji's arms. She looked at the person who'd caught her and frown before pulling away again, dusting off her shirt as if he was some sort of germ. When she was done, she grabbed the microphone, smiling. "Good work, you two! Get back onto the carrier."
