Disclaimer: I don't own NGE, if I did, it would be AIRing AROUND THE GLOB, and there would be NEW EPOSODES for it too. HINT, HINT for any Gainax staff that could be out there.
Chapter Eleven:
Strategizing
"No way!" cried Ritsuko.
"What the Hell!" yelled Misato.
"How can those things match the Evas without using energy!" exclaimed Fuyutsuki.
"Damn it! The Evas have gone silent!" shouted Ritsuko, "the pilots are..........alive...."
"Commander Ikari!" shouted some miscellaneous soldier, "The prisoner.....he's doing something weird!"
"What is he doing," replied Gendo calmly.
"He's generated a weird light, that's snaking it's way outside!"
"What?"
On the battlefield a large force field suddenly encompassed One and Two. It was only active long enough for One and Two to become tired from trying to break free.
"Stalemate," stated Fuyutsuki, "at least for now."
"It would appear that way," commented Gendo, "Major Katsuguri, have all the pilots integrate the prisoner at the same time, may be the three of them can get something useful out of the disrespectful piece of filth."
"But commander," started Misato.
"Do it Major."
"Yes sir."
"Zero, why did you help us?" asked Shinji, once the three pilots where brought into the holding ceil.
"I was returning the......favor you did me. You helped me, I helped you. It was the only logical course of action," stated Zero.
"Why do I have to be here," grumbled Asuka, "this is stupid."
"We are here because the Commander ordered it," stated Rei.
"Shut up Wonder Girl, you always do as your told."
"It is my duty.....my purpose....."
"Yes," added Zero suddenly, "it is the fate of all whom have limited will."
"Ok, you two are creeping me out!" yelled Asuka.
"Zero, you helped us once......would you help us again?" asked Shinji.
"Only if I was ordered two or if helping you fits in with my original purpose," replied Zero, "Which I feel it does. Helping you means I would have some say in how you deal with One and Two, thus, I can protect them from at least some harm, if not complete destruction."
"Riiiiiiiiiiight........." commented Asuka.
"Ok," said Ritsuko several hours later in a meeting room, "From the data we have, we assume that these figures are......"
"They are what could be referred to am my family," interrupted Zero.
"Yes.......We believe the quickest way to defeat them is by using an N2 mine, which, should be able to effect even the fast one."
"You are referring to One."
"Of course I'm referring to one of the targets."
"But you refer to One as the fast one."
"Because only one of them is fast!"
"But you refer to One."
"Will you just shut up! As I was saying, if we where to......"
"I have a question," interrupted Zero again.
"What now!" growled Ritsuko obviously annoyed.
"What is an N2 mine? If it is what the name implies, One is not stupid enough to run over a mine."
"You mean one of them is stupid enough to just walk over a mine?" asked Misato.
"No....."
"But, you just said one is not stupid enough."
"Because she isn't."
"She?"
"Yes One."
"Which one?"
"One."
"Yes, but WHICH one?"
"One."
"Back to the matter at hand," coughed Ritsuko.
"You still haven't answered my question," stated Zero, "what is an N2 mine?"
"It's a nuclear weapon, now, as I was saying.."
"What! No! Do not harm them! Nuclear Weaponry is illogical, it harms the surroundings more than it harms the enemy."
"I can't authorize an N2 drop yet, Dr Akaji," stated Gendo, "find another way."
"Yes, I know sir," sighted Ritsuko, "That's why we must have this meeting, we don't know how much longer until the attacks continue again."
"Approximately," stated Zero, "14 hours, 26 minutes, and 37 seconds."
Ritsuko just sat there staring blankly at Zero as her right eye began to twitch.
"How exactly do you know that?" asked Misato.
"......I don't care how he knows it........"growled Ritsuko through clenched teeth, "back to the planning part of this operation........"
"Oh, sorry."
"As I was saying......"
"I believe the fastest way to detain my family, is by me to go along with your Evangelions, and use my abilities to stop them," injectured Zero.
"You know.....you are really getting on my nerves kid..."
"I am not a kid. For that to hold true, I would have to be human, which I am not. But, please inform me as to how I am 'getting on your nerves'."
"HA!" shouted Ritsuko suddenly, "That's were you ARE wrong! My data clearly shows that .00001% of every 20% of your DNA is HUMAN!"
"Ok........" breathed Asuka silent, "that makes the whole right/wrong score weirdo about 5, and Crazy Doctor 1........."
With out warning, the color in Zero's eyes began swirling around as if in a cyclone.
"What the hell are you doing!" shouted Misato.
"New weapons test........bio-mech armor.........similar to the human Evangelions.........tomorrow..." stated Zero in a hollow, far off voice, "Two.......only.......explosion......defeat.........Three...........darkness...."
Just as quickly did Zero's eyes begin to swirl, they stopped and returned to 'normal'.
"What was all that about?" asked Misato, a little confused.
"I.........do not..........know......" breathed Zero.
"Sounds like they plan to test two bio-mechas that they created after observing our Evas," commented Ritsuko, "and.......it goes badly for one side, but then, they make a come back and win. But.........which side?"
"If their experiments are any indication, and with our AT fields....."stated Misato grimly, "They'll lose the battle but win the war..........but.........I hope I'm wrong."
"Zero, will accompany the Evas into battle. The scenario I have set requires it, and my scenario is unbeatable," Gendo said calmly.
"Understood," stated Zero.
"But sir," injectured Ritsuko.
"That is all, prepare a plan based on these terms major."
"Yes sir," saluted Misato, as Commander, Sub Commander, and the good doctor left the room.
A/N:
Well, I'm back from a little hiatus I've been taking, hope your liked the chapter, I know it probably sounds a little sketchy, but, hey, you try typing on a computer so slow, by the time you finish typing a paragraph, you get to only see the first line, and that's if your lucky.
