This really sucks because I wrote it before I watched the last three of the
DVDs so a lot of it doesn't go along with the plot of the story. Just
ignore that and pretend that its AU.

Chapter Two: Silhouette
The chilly winds swept through the darkened city of Tokyo 3 howling in the empty darkness that engulfed its shelled walls. From this frozen silence came the echoing of a metallic shriek that made the very ground shudder in anticipated fear. Another Angel had come to Tokyo 3.
Red lights flashed warning in NERV headquarters where Misato had just been ready to retire for the night. Instantly the entire headquarters was in action, the required few that stayed the night at the outpost jumping to action immediately.
"WHAT?! An angel?! At this time of night?!" Misato exclaimed, coming out of her half-asleep state of mind and rubbing her tired eyes.
"Major Katsuragi! What should we do?" came the urgent voice of Maya Ibuki, the lieutenant and technician for NERV.
"Someone, get Shinji and the others down here. Prepare the Evas! Evacuate the threatened areas immediately!" Misato yelled, springing into action. "Do we have any information on the Angel?" Misato said as she looked at the computer screen transferring the data.
"Nothing solid yet, Major, but we're getting some strange readings in." Lieutenant Shigeru Aoba answered. "Wait...here's something!....My god!"
Misato rushed over. "What is it?" she insisted impatiently.
"It's the Angel......It's an Eva..." he said unsurely.
"What?!" Misato asked confusedly.
"The Angel...it's just like...our Evas...It's like....a copy..."
"Where the hell is Rei?" Misato asked impatiently as she looked at the faces of Shinji and Asuka who were both standing prepped and ready.
"No one has been able to find her." Shinji answered apologetically.
"This is a damn fine time to get lost!" Misato said in agitation. "We have no time for this damn it! We'll just have to do it without her. There's an Angel obviously, but I want you to be careful on this one. It's different than the other ones. Apparently it looks just like our Evas, but we don't know what its capable of yet."
Shinji's eyes widened. "Just like the Evas?"
Asuka huffed. "Obviously the Angels aren't strong enough for me so they tried to imitate me. How pathetic. C'mon let's get out there and kick its butt!"
"I'm serious Asuka. I'm ordering you to proceed with caution. We don't have Rei on this one, so it will be just you two." Misato said in a warning tone.
Asuka just shook her off. "Everything will be fine. We don't need 'Wonder Girl' this time. Stop worrying. Let's get going!"
..........................................................................................................................................................................................
The Angel was lurking in the outer regions of the city, slowly making its way through the buildings, smashing them under its feet. It was obvious where it was heading, NERV headquarters, the only place of threat to the Angels.
It was an exact copy of the Angels, except for it gleamed a ghostly white in the darkness and the mere image of it sent shivers of fear down Shinji's spine as he approached it stealthily in Unit 01, his massive gun held in one arm.
"Asuka? Are you in position?" he asked tentatively turning to see her face on his communicator.
"Give me a second, it's hard to see in the dark!" Asuka complained as she steadily got into her position behind a tall building.
Shinji sighed and shook his head. He had to concentrate on this mission. He couldn't afford to get distracted not matter what...no matter how much pain he was in.
"It stopped moving!" He heard Asuka's surprised voice exclaim. He turned to look and sure enough it was motionless.
"What's happening?" Shinji questioned, all the sudden more frightened than he had ever been on any other mission before. The Angel looked like a ghost in the silhouetted darkness of the night city.
Everything went deathly silent as if even the wind refused to blow and stir the world from its blanket of silence. Then through the silence came a screeching scream that erupted from the Angel as it tilted its head back, its eyes glowing an sickly red color. Its shrieks tore through the air and blasted Shinji and Asuka with its full force.
"What the hell is that!" Asuka screamed as she twisted with the pain. The noise was unbearably.
Shinji was frozen, unable to move, a horrible pain twisting within him. To his horror the Angel slowly turned its eyes onto him and his heart began to beat wildly. It was staring at him. It was looking at him...not the Eva...no it was looking straight at him...straight into his heart.
"STOP IT! STOP LOOKING AT ME!" he screamed, feeling the vile presence of the Angel inside him. It could see his thoughts...It was inside of him!
"Shinji just calm down!" He heard Misato's calm voice, but he could not listen. He couldn't hear anything, but the terrible screeching of the Angel that had somehow become part of him. He began to panic, unable to take it when he began to feel the Angel...began to become part of the Angel. Without thinking he began to fire into the Angel's body, screaming at the top of his lungs. He had to stop it. He couldn't stand it anymore.
"What are you doing Shinji?! STOP!" Misato screamed, but Shinji was too preoccupied to notice.
As soon as his first bullet hit the Angel's body he felt a unbearable pain tear through his own and he clutched his side. His eyes widened when he pulled away his hands releasing a torrent of blood into the pod.
He stared at his crimson fingers in astonishment. "Misato....help...me..." he whimpered, terrified as he slowly slid away into unconsciousness.
"DAMN IT! What's going on in there?" Misato said angrily.
"Shinji's life stats are going crazy. He's passed out and it seems that a lot of blood has been released into the pod." Was the horrified response.
Misato's heart raced. "NO!....Get Shinji out of there right away!"
"But...the angel..." Shigeru stammered.
"I don't give a damn about the Angel, just get Shinji out of there!"
"Right...ejecting the pod..."
"How is Unit 02's status?" Misato said, suddenly fearing for Asuka.
"No change. Everything's normal."
"And the Angel?" she questioned with fear.
"Unresponsive. Everything seems to be in a stand still."
"Right. I guess this one's up to me!" Asuka said, a little scared, but unwilling to admit it. Rei was missing and she had no clue what happened to Shinji, but there was one thing she did know. The Angel was going down! She blasted her gun at the Angel's body and with a satisfying boom it tore at the Angel's shoulder. Just as that happened Shinji's life stats spiked.
Misato looked in horror as she suddenly realized what was happening. "Stop it Asuka! Don't fire!" She screamed.
"Why?" Asuka asked as she shot again hitting the Angel's leg.
"Because every time you hurt the Angel, you hurt Shinji as well!"
