Recap of Chapter 4
"He hasn't in the least! He's still immature, sloppy-looking and an even bigger womanizer than before!" The Captain complained, pressing a button on the panel.
"Hmm, but those were all the things you fell in love with all those years ago, am I right?" she smiled as her friend took her purple hair in two handfuls, pulling tightly while shaking her head.
"Don't remind me!"

Chapter 5
Typing away at her computer, Akagi Ritsuko didn't expect the arms of her long lost college friend to wrap around her shoulders. She didn't even have to turn around to figure out who it was. "Why, hello there. Long time no see."
Kaji Ryouji chuckled, the sound of rumbling in his chest. "Likewise." He smirked and ran a finger down her cheek. "It's been too long."
The blonde smiled, closing her eyes. "Yes, it has Kaji. What have you been up too?"
The man's finger stopped at her jaw line. "A little bit of this, a little bit of that." He paused and she could tell he was grinning. "You're suffering from an unrequiting love."
"Oh?"
He tapped her chin lightly. "A woman, with a mole like a tear, shouldn't have to suffer that sort of pain." He teased, grinning widely.
She laughed softly. "If you're trying to pull the moves on me, I'm afraid you can't." she opened her eyes to see her other college friend. "Not with that face pressed up against the glass."
The man looked up to see his ex-lover with her face indeed pressed up against the large pan of window and he could defiantly see that she was mad by the amount of steam on the glass. Katsuragi Misato pulled away and stormed into the room they were in.
The Captain turned on the spy who was now leaning against the wall as if nothing had happened while Ritsuko continued with her typing. "What are you still doing here? Unit-02 is here so why haven't you left yet?" though the words came out bitterly, she silently wished that he didn't have to leave as quickly as she wished for.
The man only continued to grin at her. "Now, is that any way to talk to your boyfriend?"
A vein popped from her forehead. "And who said that you were my boyfriend?" she demanded.
Kaji just chuckled, shrugging his shoulders and Ritsuko was about to join in but was interrupted as red lights turned on, a voice coming from the speakers in the room. "Red Alert! Unidentified Object approaching the shores of Tokyo-3, all personal report to their posts." It repeated what it had just said and then turned off, the lights continuing to clicker on and off.

"Shinji, Asuka! You two are going to cover this mission. Close in and take turns." The voice of their Captain ordered through the link of the EVAs.
"Roger!" Soryu Asuka Langley and Ikari Shinji chorused together, nodding in affirmative. After the restraints were removed and they'd been launched, the two pilots awaited at the shore, battle ready. The redhead turned to Shinji and smirked at the small picture that popped up to her right. "I'll take care of this one, Ikari. Cover me!" She told him and looked back just as a large wave erupted from the waters, showing the arrival of their opponent. Before he could reply, she'd taken off to meet it in the waters, jumping from building to building to stay out of the water.
The man growled, bringing his rifle up to the robot's chest, ready to back her up. "Don't tell me how to do things, you damn rookie!" then his features softened. "Just be careful, Asuka..." he whispered.
She blushed as she heard what he had said but then it disappeared as the Angel emerged from the waters. She grimaced at the way it looked and thought, 'Don't any of these things look anywhere near normal?' before jumping high into the air above the creature's head. "Watch and learn, Ikari." With a loud battle cry, her EVA came down hard on the opponent with its bladed spear, cutting it in half. "Quick and clean." She told her comrade. He would have replied to this had he not been too surprised as the Angels' two parts began moving again, the head going into the body and coming out again, a different color this time. The same happened on the other side and Shinji realized too late that it had regenerated.

"The eighth Angle was detected on our radar at thirteen hundred sharp." Ritsuko pressed a button on the controller she held and the screen changed to a picture of the Angel. "EVA Units 01 and 02 arrived before the battle." Another click of the button and it changed to a picture of the EVAs. "The battle started at 13:15." It showed Asuka attacking the Angel. "EVA Unit 02 was silent at 13:17." The screen showed the EVA upside down in the waters. "EVA Unit 01 was in a similar state short seconds later." True to her word, it showed EVA 01 upside down in a hole in the ground. "The Captain summarized this occurrence." She pressed another button and Misato's voice rang out in the conference room. "This is pathetic." Everyone heard her say and she sweatdropped. "N2 mines were used on the Angel, giving us some time." The last image showed the two halves of the Angel standing in the water, disfigured.
Kaji smiled, taking his arm off the back of Misato's chair. "And you couldn't hope for more, ne?"
Asuka decided to ignore him and stood up and pointed a finger at Shinji. "This is all your fault, you were supposed to back me up!" she accused.
He stood up to protest back. "M-my fault?! How is this my fault?! If you hadn't rushed in like you owned the place, we might have had a better chance!" he really didn't want to be yelling at her and regretted it right away when she looked down at her feet, her bangs hiding her eyes from him.
'He's right...I should have co-operated with him instead of doing it by myself. I'm such an idiot...' she thought and was about to apologize but Misato cut her off.
"Okay, you two, stop fighting. We have approximately five days before the Angel regains its full strength and we have to come up with a plan by then." She turned to Ikari Gendo and his Vice-Commander, Fuyutski Kozo. "Sir, I may have a plan to defeat the Angel. May I have permission to prepare the pilots for it?" she asked.
Gendo nodded curtly. "See to it that this doesn't happen again, Captain." With that, the ground beneath him sunk down, his and Fuyutski's bodies sinking with it.
Asuka looked up at her guardian. "What's your plan?" she asked quietly, still thinking about her actions.
Misato turned on the redhead, frowning. "You and Shinji go home, I'll meet you there later." She ordered harshly and Shinji felt a rush of anger at her voice towards Asuka. He calmed himself down as he walked towards the changing room then to leave for home.

Author's Notes: Though it was a short chapter, I thought of making it the whole battle but that would have maybe been around 5000 words and I just wouldn't be able to handle that @_@! Also, please check out my other story, ''What if...' Kaji Hadn't Died?' because it's coming to a close very soon and then I'm going to start on a sequel.
R&R PLZ!
