Thanks to all my loyal fans for your output! This is a first for me; I'm at a loss for words. So lets go ahead to the story, shall we?
Misato stared at the screen at the oncoming Alien horde. "My god, there's so many..."
"From looking, I can estimate at least... a few hundred."
Misato glared at poor Makoto. "I didn't need to know that." She turned to the now present Sub-commander. "Where is Commander Ikari at a time like this?"
"Probably looking for Rei."
"Why?"
He was about to answer when they heard a scream. They looked up to see a JSSDF soldier rapidly firing at something. He ceased firing when the Alien drone's skull cracked. Out of it shot a clear fluid that on contact with the man burned his clothes and flesh.
Acid. The drone's blood was acid. The acrid stench filled their nostrils as the man screamed and fell to the ground. The drone jumped down after him and landed on the man's back, breaking it.
While it was preoccupied with the men, Shigeru pulled out a grenade and threw it at the drone. Within seconds, an explosion sounded, followed by the drone's shriek. It was lucky for them that they were behind spare equipment, because the equipment caught the full force of the acid.
The 5 people looked out at the remains of the drone. "Where'd you get that grenade?"
Shigeru opened his jacket to reveal 5 guns and several grenades. "I like to come prepared."
The Aliens were upon the JSSDF in mere moments. They viciously tore apart the foot soldiers that they came across.
The JSSDF reacted by sending cannon fire into the massive myriad of Aliens. The drones were thrown into the air as the shells landed amidst them.
"Despite their number's, they are no match for us." The Commander smirked.
But the drones had an ace up their sleeves (Aliens don't have sleeves I know, just a figure of speech). Or to be precise, a Queen. Speaking of Queens...
The Alien Queen rose up out of the army, shrieking like a banshee. Upon hearing her, the drones instantly regrouped from the havoc inflicted upon them. The Aliens raced toward the army of humans. A group of them managed to envelop 3 tanks, and the screams of the dying men rose above the sound of the hissing, screeching, bloodthisty drones.
Makoto let loose a barrage of gunfire as JSSDF soldiers tried to get into the Central Dogma, nailing a few.
"Nice shot, gunfighter."
"Instead of making smart-ass comments, could you give me a little help?"
"Sure." Shigeru threw him a grenade, and fired off several shots at the soldiers that kept appearing out of nowhere. "There's no end to these bastards."
"Tell me about it." Makoto caught the grenade and pulled the pin. Or he would have, but... "HOLY SHIT!"
He threw the grenade at a group of soldiers that appeared. The explosion knocked all of the soldiers backwards into the wall, where he handily took care of them. "THAT"S FUCKING DANGEROUS YOU ASS!! ARE YOU TRYING TO BLOW US ALL TO HELL?!!"
Shigeru shrugged. "No sense in not being prepared."
The pilots of the aircraft were aware of the chaos below, but all that was on their minds was their mission. So it was a real shame that they were not aware of the creatures thta the army below was facing.
The Aliens had been there for 15 years, so their numbers were virtually limitless. Whether or not their numbers mattered, the Aliens were everywhere.
The pilots were so focused on the task at hand that they did not hear the hisses or clicks of talons on the metal floor...
The JSSDF Commander looked upon the swarm of Aliens that had already overtaken half of their forces. "Why in the hell am I always left with all the fuckin' messes?"
"Commander!" The Sub-commander pointed to the skies. The Commander looked, then immediately wished he hadn't.
On of the massive airplanes was losing serious altitude. It was on a collision course with another plane. "Airship 10, come in! You're on a collision course with Airship 13!"
He didn't get a reply, but he thought he heard screeches. "Airship--!"
The massive airship collided with its partner, sending the two toward the ground. The airships collided with the ground, letting loose a magnificent explosion that sounded as though some comet-like harbringer of doom. The several million tons of steel, glass, and plastic shot into the air. The resulting boom that was anticipated flattened several building and knocked the JSSDF to their knees.
Misato watched the chaos on the monitor. "Good god, when will it all end?"
"Obviously not now."
"Asuka, get in your EVA."
Asuka grumbled and got in her EVA. "Eva Unit-02 ready for launch!"
Rei ran on down the hallway. She sorely wanted to be with Shinji now, for reasons she could not explain. These Aliens had been chasing her for some time, but she lost them.
There! An open door provided cover for the time being. She ducked inside, closed it silently, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Rei."
Rei spun around to see the last person she wanted to see.
Commander Ikari stepped out of the shadows and held out his hand. "It is time."
"No."
The Commander was confused. His Rei had just denied him for the first time in his life. He came to the conclusion that his son had somehow converted her. He narrowed his eyes. "So be it." With a quick movement, he whipped out a syringe and pricked her arm.
She went limp, and he slung her over his shoulder. "I'm sorry, but this is the way it has to be."
The Queen roared as the drones swiftly let loose their fury upon the humans. This would be a good day for her kind, where the flesh of their prey would feed this and the next generation.
The Commander spotted the Alien Queen through his lenses. 'Apparantely the head honcho.' "Attention! Fire on the large Alien!"
"Sir?"
"Destroy the leader, and the others will be lost."
The tanks swiveled their barrels in the direction of the Queen, and fired. The tank shells blew the Queen in half from the top of her left shoulder to her right side. Letting loose a weak cry, the top half fell to the ground, followed by the bottom half.
The death of the Queen put the drones in minor confusion, and they ceased their attack on the JSSDF.
Deep within the Alien hive, the King felt the Queen die. His heart filled with rage at the prey who would dare harm his Queen.
Standing to his full height, he tore his way out the hive and made his way to the battlefield.
The Sub-commander surveyed the area. The Aliens were somehow... regrouping. It seemed strange, but so did that constant thundering...
"GRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"
The Alien King burst out of the ground , looming stories above the JSSDF army. Every time he walked, the ground shook and 2 or so men lost their lives. Out of his mouth, he spewed a trail of acid like flame from a flamethrower, drenching man and machine.
The drones moved out the the King's way, lest they taste his wrath.
Within the center, the NERV personell watched the new amount of chaos.
"Oh my god." Makoto couldn't believe all this was happening.
"I know they tried to kill us but they don't deserve that..." Maya said.
Shigeru was paying attention to the moniters. "Look at this."
Everyone crowded around the moniters. One moniter showed Gendo Ikari with a kicking and screaming Rei. Another moniter showed an unconscious Shinji being carried off by Alien drones.
"Hey! Are you going to launch me or not!?"
"Sorry Asuka."
Gendo Ikari strode down the hall towards Terminal Dogma. Rei was still trying to beat the shit out of him.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
"Pipe down Ayanami. It is time for you to fulfill your purpose." Inputting his access code, and letting the door slide open, he stepped into the massive room...
...And found himself staring down the barrel of a 9mm. Held by one Ritsuko Akagi.
"Don't even think about it."
Whew! This was my longest chapter. For those who are wondering why it took me so long to update, I was on a... trip. But that's not important. Review plz! Sayonara, Tschus, Adios!
