Heero swore as two rockets impacted on his left side leaving an ugly scorch mark. Even though Heero has been in much larger battles than this, he was having a hard time. Wing Zero maybe powerful and Heero maybe a skilled pilot, but the cargo shuttle and its precious cargo is anything but and protecting it from hordes of enemies proved quite challanging. The battle was too concentrated on one spot to use his mighty buster rifle, so he had to cut through their ranks with his trusty beam sabre. The sighed in relief as what was left of the enemy withdrawed. This was short lived however as the customised Serpent pulled out a mega particle connon.
'Oh hell...'
~~~~~
Shinji was fidgiting in his entry plug. The alarm ceased ringing ten minutes ago and Heero have left around three minutes ago. Although he wasn't expecting Heero to be back so soon, Shinji was still worried. 'What if he was overwhelmed? He could be dead right now,' thought the boy sadly. Shinji would have steadily been more depressed if it wasn't for his mother's voice telling him that he would be fine. Shinji sighed making bubbles in the LCL, before trying to relax once again. This moment of peace was shattered however as the alarm came alive.
"250 unidentified targets approaching the other cargo shuttles!" yelled a voice which echoed throughout the hanger. The mechanics were stunned and some even dropped their tools as they heard the news. In the entry plug the com came online.
"Shinji you need to help us to defend those shuttles. Do NOT let them take it," ordered a stern male voice.
"What are in those shuttles?" asked Shinji who was nervously shaking. There was silence from the otherside of the com. "The Eva-Series," said the voice once more. Shinji's eyes opened in suprise. He could well remember what they did to him centuries ago and the wound was still sore.
'I will not let them use it to harm anymore people,' thought Shinji as he willed his Eva to move.
"Wait!" shouted the doctor. "Before you leave we have to do some modifications." Shinji fidgited even more as he stood there doing nothing. A loud pop wa heard and he suddenly felt lighter. Looking around he noticed that his shoulder pylons have been removed and on both sides of him were identicle pylons hanging there like shirts drying on a cloth line. It wasn't untill they were fixed onto the Eva before he noticed the difference. The green grills of the pylons were now slightly longer, two slits behind on the bottom of the pylons indicated thrusters and the biggest difference was the large bulge on both pylons were the weapon rack meets the things that holds the pylon to the Eva's shoulders.
"Okay Shinji here are the changes. The green grills have been modified to hold missles, you have forty eight of them. The weapon rack is now holding a beam sabre instead of that knife thingy. That bulge on the side of the pylons are positron gattling guns which feeds directly from your core, so ammo shouldn't be a problem. Launch Eva!"
'She must have been watching some recorded angel battles,' thought Shinji as he shot through space along with five teams of Leos.

"The decoys have done its job and we are starting our mission," reported a man with a slight Russian accent. The group of around five hundred odd mobile suits switched from auto-pilot to manual as the 'eyes' glowed while making a mechanical buzz in the proccess (you know that sound they make when a Zaku activates). The guards were overwhelmed as the rebels literally swarmed over them with guns blazing. When the last explosion died down the rebels seperated and surrounded all the shuttles.
"Your defences are destroyed and you will suffer the same fate should you not comply." This message was repeated to each shuttle and unwillingly the shuttles obeyed. One by one the shuttles formed a straight line as they slowly made their way to the rebels base. Numerous mobile suits were patrolling around them to check if they do anything crafty.
A bright ray of light, like a comet's tail impacted a mobile suit with tremendous force which destroyed it instantly annihilated it caught all of the rebels attention. The leader was the first to recover from the shock and swiftly magnified the location from where the shot came from.
"Boys we have ourselves a Leo MK II Sniper," informed the captain in tone if they were in duck shooting season. Gradually more Leos appeared totaling in around fifteen. Laughter echoed around the radio when they saw the small number of the inferior Leos. This stopped promptly when their senor informed them of something big was in the area. Eva-01 aka the Devil appeared from no where. Its bright AT field wings gave it an eerie glow making it horned head even more intimidating. To top it of it was holding a very bussiness like gun around twice the size of a buster rifle. Needless to say the enemies were trying not piss their pants.

The Serpent Custom fired the mega particle cannon at the shuttle hoping to destroy the Eva. However Heero screwed up the man's plan as he flew between the shuttle an the fast approaching beam of energy. Wing Zero brought up its twin buster rifles and fired. The resulting scene resembled a DBZ scene where two fighters were locked by two energy beams. After around three seconds the Serpents energy cannon exploded from the stress and the Serpent flew upwards to evade the deadly energy streaming from the buster rifles. Even though The Serpent managed to evade the attack, both of the Serpents legs were destroyed leaving charred stumps of metal. Screaming in fustration he rammed what was left of his mobile suit into the shuttle, which resulted in a large explosion. The shuttle which was carring the precious cargo was destroyed by the explosion and the chain reaction afterwards. Amazingly the mangled body of the white Eva survived.
"Okay guys lets grab the Eva and get out of here," ordered Heero as he tugged the Eva towards the colony.
~~~~~
Asuka was anxious to find out how the battle turned out. She knew very well that Shinji would come back at one piece, but in a battle anything could happen. She remembered when she saw the seemingly invinsible gundams getting beaten by hoards of enemies. 'What if Shinji got overwhelmed?' the thought shot through her mind like lightning. Immediatly all sorts of ugly scenes played on her head of what might happen to Shinji and his Eva. All the negative thoughts were pushed aside however when she saw Heero in his dented gundam carring a bloody Eva on his back. 'Oh my god, that better not be Shinji's Eva!'
Heero was sure that Asuka did not know how to move an Eva yet, so when he saw the fingers on Eva-02 twitching, he was sure that Asuka must be pretty fustrated.
When a screen popped out with a 'voice only' underneath it, it almost scared the living daylight out of Asuka.
"Don't worry Asuka, this is not Shinji's Eva." After hearing these words, she felt as though a heavy weight left her chest, but she still wondered how was he doing.
~~~~~
Shinji's battle was going well so far. Hiding begind Shinji's AT field were fifteen Leos, shooting evertime Shinji told them that he lowered his AT field. Even though Shinji's team clearly had the advantage, the battle was going nowhere. Relizing this Shinji starting talking to a corperal on the com. "Next time when we fire you and five men sneak out and try and take back a few shuttles." The corpral nodded and gathered five men. Without shells and bolts of energy hitting his AT field no one relised that it was lowered, that is until multiple beams of energy destroyed a good twenty suits. In the middle of this chaos the enemy didn't relise that five suits were missing.
~~~~~
"Dude..." was the responce from the techs when Eva-05 regenerated itself.
"We have a problem here," this group of words sliced through the crowd like a hot knife through butter. Running towards the radio the doctor spoke to the pilot.
"What do you mean problem?"
"The enemy got away with four Evas." The crowd stood in silence as the new information was slowly digested.
How the hell did that happen?" shouted the Doctor.
"The enemy held the shuttles hostage ma'm. The good news is that we have no causualties and the fact that we have more Evas than they have."
~~~~~
A few days have passed and Shinji was now face to face with the newly repaired Eva-05. It is know totally different compared to the rest of the Eva-series. The paint changed a little, as the black bands were replaced by blue ones. Vernier thrusters were added at where the shoulder pylons should be. The biggest difference however was the head. New armor was put on the head to cover the mouth much like Eva-02 and in the center of its head was a glowing V shaped slit. Shinji continued to look at the Eva, but he wasn't aware of the new presence. "Hello pilot Ikari." Shinji almost jumped out of his skin in fright. Turning around he saw Rei staring into him. "Greetings pilot Ikari. I'm going to be your next teamate."
'How did she know my real name?' Thought Shinji as Rei turned on her heels and walked away.
