Chapter 6: Penetrating NERV Head quarters.

Shinji, Kensuke, Hikari and Tiny approached the large security doors that sealed off NERV Headquarters Shinji hoped and prayed that his NERV Identity card would still work as he carefully slid it through the Scanner.

The computer seemed to struggle, and stutter out "Identity... con... con...confirmed, Welcome to NERV head quarters" the large doors opened and closed behind them as they entered.

The lights were off and it was hard to see where anything was, but Shinji knew the layout like the back of his hand, it was one of the things he had to learn about NERV. Shinji slid his ID through the scanner at the elevator but nothing happened, the internal power was off, only the security doors were working.

Shinji and Kensuke, opened the Elevator doors Manually, and looked down the long shaft, Kensuke absently whistled. "Long way down shin-man", Kensuke said as Shinji grabbed the ladder, followed by Kensuke, Tiny and Hikari, as they made there way down, Kensuke began singing.

They finally came to the floor they desired this time Tiny opened the doors and everyone climbed into the corridor. The lights here were flickering, indicating that there was some power albeit unstable.

They came to their destination, the Armoury; Shinji slid his Card through the Reader it just buzzed at him indicating he didn't have access. He looked over at Kensuke who pulled out his Laptop from the rucksack he was carrying.

"Need a new NERV Card my good friend", Kensuke said confidently swiping Shinji's card right out his hand and placing it inside the reader and connecting his laptop to it. After a few minutes, Kensuke's smile broadened as the red light on the door turned to green and opened.

"Congratulations, you now have Class 1A clearance Shinji", Kensuke gloated, Shinji was impressed by the boys skills, when they entered the armoury, Kensuke was like a kid in a candy store. Handguns, Rifles, Machineguns, Explosives and equipment shone all around him.

Shinji knew exactly what he was looking for, he took several P90 Machine guns and Magazines, 9mm Barretta's, C4 Blocks and detonators, plus a sniper rifle, he put them all in a black duffel back and zipped it up.

He also took several bulletproof vests and camouflage gear, put them in a separate bag and chucked it to Tiny. They had got what they came for it was time to leave, and they begun the long process of heading back up to the surface level.

When they arrived at the surface Shinji instructed, everyone to put on their vests and camouflage gear, which they did, Hikari's even came with a cute little black beret.

Shinji handed Tiny and Kensuke a P90 each and kept one for himself, he handed everyone a handgun and Hikari the Sniper Rifle. Shinji handed half the explosives and detonators to Kensuke. Who smiled, it was just like all the games he'd played in a world that seemed so long ago, only this time it was real, as were the bullets and risks.

Kensuke, used his laptop to hack the JSDF defence net and bring up plans for the base they would be raiding, the plan was a simple one, Shinji would penetrate the prisoner complex, laying some of the Charges as he went. Kensuke and Tiny would lay charges at key points to cripple the base and Hikari would be Sniper.

When Shinji had reached Asuka he would detonate his explosives, which would be the signal for Kensuke and Tiny to do likewise. Then Hikari would cover them on the way out.

Under the cover of darkness they approached the JSDF base, that was to put it mildly lit up like a Christmas tree with Guard towers and patrolling soldiers. Hikari set up her Sniper rifle on its stand and focused the telescopic sight

Shinji, Kensuke and Tiny got into the base via a now hole in the fence, they split up, Shinji heading towards the Prisoners cells, Kensuke, the Power plants and barracks.

Shinji Came to a guarded door, the soldier was well armed; Shinji used his stealth to kill him with a knife to the lower back he was dead before he hit the ground. Shinji entered the building placing a Charge behind the unoccupied front desk.

Kensuke made his way to the Power plant closely followed by Tiny who disposed of several guards with his bear hands without a problem. Kensuke placed the charges near the turbines and on several adjoining corridors.

Shinji made his way into the Cell dorm and checked each one individually; he was spotted by one of the guards who opened fire. The crackle of gunfire filled the large room and Shinji's P-90 roared into action as he returned fire the huge 50 calibre bullets flying through the air at over half the speed of sound the Iron plating between the him and the guard buckling pleased Shinji.

There was one more exchange of fire between them before the Plating gave out and the guard was hit with the full force of Shinji's P-90. His bullet- riddled corpse hit the ground.

Asuka cringed inwardly as she woke up, holding her ribs; she crawled over to the bed, mentally summing that they could have been gentler when they beat her. It was the third time since she had been captured that the guards had abused her like this. She was a fighter but certainly not in a fit state to defend herself.

She heard Gun fire briefly and wondered what was going on, then her door was blown of its hinges and there stood Shinji, weapon in hand, looking quite proud of himself. "Ok genius, so what now?" she said. Knowing the entire base was probably on alert from the gunfight. Shinji simply pulled out small tubule device with a red button on the end.

"This", he said as he pressed the button, several large explosions rocked the building.

"Why is it the quietest guys do things the flashiest way", Asuka mentally sighed,

"You can use this can't you?" Shinji said throwing her a handgun, which she caught with her good hand.

"You bet", Asuka said with a smile.

There was another set of explosions, signalling Shinji that Kensuke's mission was accomplished. Shinji and Asuka started to make their way to the Elevator. When the doors opened, they were greeted with the sound of gunfire, Shinji returned fire, throwing the detonator to Asuka.

She instantly knew what to do she pressed the button and another set of explosions engulfed the corridor, when the flames cleared they continued on there way out.

Kensuke Ran out of the Barracks building just in time as the explosion was set off behind him. "KA-BOOM", he yelled. As he ran cross the courtyard several soldiers fired at him. Tiny picked him up and Ran as fast as he could towards the fence, Several of the soldiers fired at Tiny, hitting him in the back and shoulders, In all seven rounds. "I finally get to repay you Kenny"

Tiny threw Kensuke over the fence, 180'd and rushed the shooting solders taking many rounds in the chest and legs, a soldier with a rocket launcher aimed at Tiny and fired but Tiny got there first, crushing the launcher and rocket blowing them and himself to kingdom come.

Kensuke Cried as his friend was killed, he shouldn't have to die, he saved his life. One of the patrol guards spotted Kensuke, he tried to run but it was too late, Kensuke rose his gun to shoot but found he couldn't pull the trigger he froze, the soldier smirked and rose his own gun.

There was a single gunshot.
