"Heero! The ship is losing altitude, WE'RE GOIN' DOWN!" Duo Yells, his face pale as death, as the huge rock bucks from its orbit and begins to plummet towards the planet below.
"Trowa get the Gundams in lockdown, Relena get external shields up. We can not give up, we are here for a reason!" Heero begins, looking for the first time to be acting on emotion, "I just feel it, some wish for hope"
"I feel it to, Heero"
"I know 'Lena, I know."
"Well let's get the show on the road, WATCH OUT YA'LL THE ARCHANGEL AND THE FOUR HORSEMEN ARE HERE" Duo yelled enthusiastically as the ship hit the atmosphere "AND NOW YOUR GOIN' TO SEE THE TRUE POWER OF THE GUNDAMS"
As the ship plummeted through the atmosphere of earth, creating a trail of fire visible to half the planet, Nerv's base in Tokyo 3 was made aware of the giant fireball. "Unidentified object, 1.2 kilometers in length .312 in height, falling at mach 12+."
"No Angel DNA detected, large amounts of EMI"
"Where is it headed?"
"Kamchatka"
"Send out Eva unit 01"
"Yes sir!"
Shinji Ikari ran through Nerv's many twisting halls to the Eva containment chamber, pausing only long enough to nod at Asuka and Rei, he leaps into the Eva's plug. Still baffled by the strange cryptic instructions his father had given him, In particular his mind was focused on one statement of his fathers, less that decipherable rhetoric "It is not an Angel—but—your Eva is the only one with its own power supply." It was something about his father's voice, some emotion that he had never heard before now, that gave Shinji both a gut feeling of danger and a sense of expectation. But at any rate, if it was not an angel it could not fight back. Coming out of his mental stupor, Shinji scanning the plugs visual display, examined the satellite photos and scans of the object's descent that where being broadcast live from space. Shinji focused one of the visual sensors in on the object just as it began to burn the air around it. for that fleeting moment he thought he saw, for a split second, engines of a size that seemed unimaginable. However, as the rock was shrouded by its blazing wreath of crimson flames the fleeting image passed.
Dropping through the troposphere, the searing inferno rolled back from the Firesword's hull in a brilliant flash of many hued flames. Hurtling through the clouded sky the massive carrier's shadow bore silent testimony to the awesome size and power of the Firesword. The ship rocketed over the frozen forests of the kamchatkan tundra, here and there shearing of the tops of the larger trees like twigs. The shattering speed took care of the rest, the triple shockwave hammering most of the immediate area to dust.
Gritting his teeth, Heero sat in his chair eyeing the oncoming obstacle as if it were a living thing. Duo let out one of his many patented multi-lingual Curses. What was the obstacle? It was a gigantic lake. Heero knew almost by instinct that the ship was going to make a "water landing," and he braced for the noise and force that would come. With a roar, as if all the armies of the heavens had smitten the rolling waves, the Firesword plunged into the swirling depths. Duo gasped as the ship drove its three trillion tons of steel and rock into the lakebed, forcing mud up into the already murky waters. If any man had looked then at the lake it would have seemed more like a thick pudding than a lake. Soon the seething lake calmed, but from the middle of its immense glassy surface, as if verily the whole lake was being heated like an inflamed cesspool of Hades, rose a cloud of thin blue vapors.
