Okay so I'm going to redo the story. Didn't really sound right and didn't get many ideas. So here's the redone first chapter to this story…

The characters' ages have been changed:

Shinji- 16

Asuka- 16

Rei- 16

Blaze- 17

Chapter 1: Angel Attack

"Aww crap it's the third time in a row that we've been attacked by Angels!"

"Where are they all coming from?"

Shinji, Asuka, and Rei had launched from NERV almost ten minutes ago, and they still hadn't seen the Angel. Shinji let out a deep sigh, he had a lot of homework to do for school and it seemed that the Angel was making it worse by hiding and taking a nap.

"Do you think that it's a system malfunction?" He asked over the com-link.

"Negative, the MAGI's systems are one-hundred percent accurate." Shinji simply shook his head and stared at the main monitor.

NERV Headquarters

Control and Observation Room

Misato scanned the observation screens. All of them simply showed crumbling buildings and fractured streets. There was no sign of the suspected Angel anywhere. After a few moments she finally asked. "Ritsuko, are you sure that this is an Angel?"

"I'm positive, a large signature appeared on our radar just about an hour ago." The blond-haired woman replied matter-of-factly. Then took a sip of coffee from her mug.

"Enemy contact at one-thousand meters from EVA Unit 00! It's the Angel!"

Misato instantly reacted by grabbing the microphone and turning it on. Being the NERV Operations Director, she had to react fast if she wanted the pilots to get back safely. "Rei, the Angel is directly one-thousand meters in front of you. Take caution there's no known data about this one! Shinji, Asuka, move in to cover Ayanami."

"Understood." Asuka and Shinji said in unison. Rei simply nodded, but kept her focus on the buildings in front of her.

Then, without warning, the Angel burst through an apartment to her right. To her, it looked like a giant walking tank, though it was mostly humanoid. On it's right arm, Rei could notice a long blade-like weapon resembling the positronic rifle that she had used countless times before, on it's left she noticed a strange device that ran along the outside of it's forearm. It was standing in a combat position, some kind of cannon unfolded from it's back and was aimed at her. Though the Angel just stood there, frozen, unmoved. Rei looked into the orange-red glow of the view plate on the Angel's head. It stared back at her, blankly, quietly. Yet it made a chill run down her spine.

"Rei open fire!" A voice came over the com-link to knock her out of her thoughts, she immediately recognized it as Commander Ikari's voice. She hesitated for a moment then pressed the trigger on her controls, letting loose a hail of assault rifle bullets at the Angel.

But the tank-like weapon seemed to read her thoughts, as it activated some sort of boosters and strafed to the side, going through another apartment building.

The Rei ceased, then moved her EVA down a couple blocks. There she hid among some buildings. She also detected Shinji's EVA in the vicinity, which was a relief, since could use some help right now.

Misato had told him that Rei was somewhere in his area. Looked around for Ayanami, though he hadn't found her until he tried to contact her on the com-link.

"Ayanami are you okay?" He called over the radio.

"I am alright." Came a calm voice. Shinji was going to reply, until her heard a loud, deafening charge of some weapon. It fired a tore a hole through his EVA's left arm. He screamed in pain, it felt like a red-hot knife had plunged itself into his shoulder socket. He gripped burning shoulder.

"Ikari? Ikari!" Rei shouted through the com-link as Shinji's scream died away. She reloaded her assault rifle and ran towards Shinji's location. When she got there she saw that Shinji had already been taken down by the Angel. His EVA was lying there, a gash in it's left shoulder, a slash wound along it's chest. Shinji was probably unconscious by now, his EVA was probably disabled, and Asuka was nowhere in sight. The Angel turned to face her and she again was frozen in place, she kept her finger on the trigger but her hand was trembling. Had it already read her mind and devised a way to kill her off?

"Rei what are you doing? I ordered you to open fire on the Angel!" Gendou's voice again barked through the com-link. Rei immediately opened fire, not wanting to displease the commander. The Angel boosted forwards, blue energy-like flames escaping from it's back. The device on it's left arm activated, sending out a bluish blade made of pure energy. Knowing that the device emitted a laser blade, Rei jumped back and opened fire with the assault rifle.

The tank-like Angel was more maneuverable than it looked. It advanced forward, easily dodging the hail of projectiles. Rei fired until her clip was empty, and was about to retreat, but soon felt a hot intense pain trailing down her right shoulder. The blade was brought down on her EVA's right shoulder, missing the fin and severing the entire arm. Rei screamed and doubled over in her seat, clutching her left arm. The pain was unbearable and it brought tears to Rei's eyes.

The Angel boosted backwards and lifted the positronic rifle to her EVA's head. When Rei came back to her senses she was gazing down the shaft of the energy weapon. She shut her eyes, waiting for death to come and claim her. But instead she was saved by a voice over the com-link.

"Pilot of the blue MT, identify yourself." An unfamiliar voice asked over com-link.

"I… am… Rei A-Ayanami…" She managed to say. The pain still hadn't gone away yet. The red and black-colored mech lowered the weapon ceased it's combat position. As her vision blurred she could make out a human figure climbing out of the back of the body section…

Finally redone, I think that it's better than before.

Any way R&R…
