"Are you ready?" Major Misato Katsurugi said into the comm as the three EVA pilots prepared for yet another snyc test. "Hai." came her answer. "Begin the test!" she yelled at the technicians. "Misato, I have something you may find interesting." Ritsuko said from her place on the bridge. "What?" "We may have found another possible pilot for the EVA. His profile should be in that folder you're holding. You know, the one the Commander left on your desk this morning?" Ritsuko said as she resumed monitoring the pilot's sync ratios. Misato opened the said folder, and began to read. It was Chang's military profile.
Meanwhile, Chang had successfully hacked sensei's computer, and was currently looking at the seating chart. 'Hmmmm, lesse what we got here.' He thought to himself. He silently began to read the files on the absent students. 'Asuka Langley Soryu. Tranfered from Germany a few months ago, can't read kanji very well? Ah, works at NERV. Next, Rei...Ayanami? Ya gotta be kiddin with me! And she works at NERV as well? Hm? Here it is! Shinji Ikari. Arrived a few weeks before Soryu did, and has been working at NERV ever since. Reason for absence? NERV?' Chang yawned suddenly, and out of boredom, brought up the grade book, and began to read.
"Ritsuko, come here. There are several things missing from this file. Do you know why?" Misato said as she finished reading Chang's file. "It's classified information that only the commander has access to at the moment. Why?" Ritsuko replied. "Because all I can tell is that he was in the U.S. Army for about two years before he was honorably discharged after nearly dying in a combat situation, and after his discharge, he came to Japan, and has been living here ever since." Misato explained as the test was completed. At that exact moment, the alarms began to go off, signalling another angel attack. "Get the EVAs ready luanch! Stall that thing once it gets within range until the EVAs can get to it!" Misato ordered.
Outside the city, a humanoid angel was slowly walking toward TOKYO 3. As it entered the the outskirts, it was met by the three EVAs opening fire witht their rifles, which seemed to have no effect. "Misato! Do you have a weakness for this thing found yet?" Shinji yelled over the comm. "Nope, Just keep fighting and keep it out of the city until we do!" Misato replied as Rei jumped over a tentacle like whip the angel had drawn and attacked with. Asuka dove through the air while firing, trying to find some cover as the angel drew its own rifle and began to return fire. "That thing is walking arsenal! Aim for the core!" a voice rang over the comm. Although they didn't know who had said it, the group was willing to give it a try. Rei saw a shining red orb set in the middle of the angel's chest, and without a second thought, opened fire. Shinji and Asuka also began to fire at the "core", without much success. "You need to get closer! Try it from a higher vantage point!" the voice said. Shinji jumped on top of a destroyed building, and opened fire again, causing the angel to roar in agony as most of his shots hit the mark. "That's it! Everyone, close in!" Shinji yelled as he continued to fire. Asuka and Rei both opened fire, causing the angel to explode because of all the damage done to its core.
"Well done." the voice said as they began to go back to NERV. Inside NERV HQ, Shinji ran into a guy dressed enitrely in black, . His eyes, a vibrant green, scanned them with interest. "Shinji? That you?" He asked in a slight accent that he couldn't quite place off the top of his head. Shinji looked a little startled at the mystery person's inquiry. His voice sounded like the one giving them directions during the battle. "Who are you?" He asked a bit guardedly. "Ya don't remeber? Heh. How typical of you, you always were the loner at school. But, even then..." His voice trailed off as Misato rounded the corner. "There you are Chang! I see you've met Shinji." She stated blandly. "We've already met, Misato." Shinji corrected, remembering where he had met Chang. "Really? Then you should ahve no problem sharing a room with him." Mistao said cheerfully as she bounced off, humming to herself a tune that could oftne be found on the eleventh floor of the Ft. Benning Hospital(A/N: for those of you who don't know, ft. benning is where they train the U.S. infantry, and on the 11th floor of the hospital is nothing but people who have gone insane from training and whatnot. trust me, you don't EVER want to go there, it will fuck you up for life.) The volley of curses that issued from Chang's mouth put Asuka to shame.
