Misato and Ritsuko sat staring at the screen in the NERV command center, shock and terror etched into their faces. The had seen what they had thought to be an invincible enemy destroyed by an unknown object so powerful it had buckled the angels own AT field into itself. It had done what no Eva had done; it had destroyed the Angel's soul directly.. Where had such a powerful creature come from? The dust slowly settled, revealing the beings in all their glory. Ritsuko stood up, "magnify sector 27" the screen zoomed in on the nearest one's arm, revealing the intricate network of drives and pneumatic-lines. "It's . a machine?" Misato said, as she too stood, moving next to Ritsuko. "It appears so," Ritsuko answered, "but I've never seen anything so complex." Suddenly the white machine began to move . towards central dogma. "It's heading for central dogma!" one of the assistants yelled in shock, soon the entire base was in a frenzy, how do you stop a machine that can kill angels in one blow?
The Eva pilots where not having it much easier. They had, at least, realized that the unknown objects were man-made, but they where at a loss as to how they where going to defeat them.
Gendo sat, worriedly gazing at the events unfolding, this had not been predicted in the Yetzirah.
Suddenly the white one, which was obviously the leader, stopped. It stood, as far as Shinji could determine, exactly in the center of the city. With incredible speed it spun backwards and placed a well placed reverse round house kick to unit 00's head, knocking it back with such force that it skid head first into one of the armory buildings. Suddenly, the entire city burst into a fury of battle unlike anything the battered city had seen before. The unknown objects were of course the Gundams, and outside the city the Black Sheep had already set up the protected perimeter. It soon became apparent that the Eva's and their pilots had a major flaw, their lack of any form of real training in martial arts. This lack of abilities, although irrelevant when fighting the instinctive angels, left them severely hampered against the combat skills of the gundams. Still the three Eva pilots were determined to win.
"Kuso. how did it move so fast?" Rei groaned, forcing her Eva into a standing position. "You O.K. Rei?" Shinji's voice broke over the comm. Units 01 and 02 moved next to 00, and despite the obviously unfavorable odds, all three took fighting stances. "Well." gasped Asuka between frightened breaths, "if it's a machine . the it's vulnerable to BULLETS!" with a burst of fear driven anger, Asuka began firing her guns at the Gundams. Four of them jumped sideways with incredible speed, bursts of blue flame lighting up the shadowed early morning air. The last one, the one wielding massive Spiegel Blades, stood still, calmly taking each round of Asuka's hail of bullets.
The other two did not get the chance to watch her display. Rei was startled from her revelry when the black, bat-winged gundam swung a black spiked whip around her Eva's arm . and pulled. Rei screamed in pain as the blades cut through the armor of the Eva's arm. Then Rei saw something that made her blood run cold. The base of the whip where it was attached to the gundam's arm was slowly beginning to glow a bright red. It was heating up! The searing heat slowly crept up the whip to the arm, burning the Eva's flesh. Rei could only cry in pain as the gundam closed the distance between itself and her.. She was relieved when her arm was released from the heated whip, but she was herself unable to move, she was simply too weak from the pain. The last thing she saw before she blacked out was the Gundam pointing the green flame of its scythe at her face.. Shinji was having problems of his own; he was fighting desperately with the trident wielding gundam and was only slightly aware of Rei's dilemma. He swung out to place a punch to the gundams head, but only struck air. He had only a split second to register this before the gundam swung its foot out in a hook kick to the chest. Stumbling backward he landed in a crater from a previous battle.
Meanwhile Asuka had expended all of her ammo and stood gasping raggedly for air, staring into the smoke. When the smoke cleared, the gundam still stood, its armor covered in dents and gouges, and walked slowly forward until no more than fifty meters lay between them. Its blades swung back into the arms, and it gave a dramatic bow. Then Straightening up, the two objects on its back swung forward, revealing four massive gattling guns. Asuka's eyes went wide, and she did the only thing she could think of. she ran. The sound of the gundams four cannons thundered through the city, buildings turning into rubble at its onslaught. Suddenly all three Eva pilots realized they had all been driven to the outskirts of the city. While they tried to determine why, the White Gundam shot into the air, hovering above the city. From its back two long guns swung up over the shoulders, panels on the arms and legs opened, glowing energy dissipaters flaring to life. Its secondary wings opened, revealing a third group of dissipaters. For a split second, everything stood still... then the white- hot beam lanced through the air; and impacted the ground directly above the Geofront. The people in the control room and the Eva pilots could only watch in shock as the beam cut through layer after layer of the shielding. In an explosion of light and heat, the beam shoot through the cavernous interior of the underground city and bored into the armored shell of Terminal Dogma.
When the beam dissipated, all five of the Gundams burst into the air, leaving the area without a trace.
Meanwhile, Gendo listened as his aide gave him the piece of new he never expected to hear. "Sir, Terminal Dogma has been destroyed, The Human Instrumentality Project is obliterated" Gendo frowned "Hmm this is indeed unexpected. what will SEELE do now?"
