Rebirth of the Evangelion
Trieze watched in facination at the outside of his reinforced plate of glass in his office. It gave a good view of most of his base and that proved to be a good vantage point seeing as now he could watch most of the battle from safety without having to rely on other equipement.
The storm dissipated fast and soon visibility had become close to a few miles. It was then that he saw the bright white specks of light closing in on his structures. The missiles were more than numerous, there must have been several hundred of them closing in. Trieze reconsidered the fact that he didn't have any other mobile suits out in their positions.
Then he looked on as every single missile visibly veered off course or did a complete U-turn out of the way. That was all Trieze could distinguish before he was blinded by the huge explosions that had just erupted around the entire base.
It was almost as if he were watching a movie, you could see the explosions and hear them, but you could not feel them.
"Control?"
"Yes sir?"
Trieze spoke calmly, easily hiding his excitment: "Did you get the readings?"
"Yes sir, but I can't understand some of these numbers. It's not just EWG device, it seems to be working in hormonization with some other wave-pattern...we don't quite know what to make of it. It looks like the same pattern we witnessed when we first tried to fight this behemoth, but the readings now differ slightly."
"Ah, okay, continue the readouts. Don't leave anything out, this is turning out better than I had thought." Trieze missed the faint indecisive groan on the other end.
It was then, that Unit-02 rose out of it's hiding place.

Shinji's eyes shot open to meet the pitch black of the room around him. Something in his dream had awoken him, but already he had forgotten most of it. He tried to wipe his eyes from the sleep blurring his vision when he saw a stream of light passing underneath his door seperating his room from the other occupants in the room beside him.
Carefully getting up, he opened the door to see Trowa and Quatre watching a portable computer terminal. Quatre's hands were a blurr as he typed in information faster than the eye could behold.
"Ikari?" Trowa turned to see Shinji standing in the doorway. "What are you doing awake?"
"Ah...Hey, what are you guys um...doing?"
Quatre turned back to add some data to the terminal while Trowa briefly told Ikari about the attack currently being made on the secret Oz base close to the north pole.
"Yes, I kind of expected that reaction from you, Ikari..."
"As did I." Three heads now turned in the room to see Rei walking calmly in. She did not show much sign of fatigue that normal people would wear right after awakening. "I was woken up by a particular dream. I am familiar with Shinji's bad sleeping habits," Shinji blushed at this, " but I see no reason for you 2 to be up at...3 in the morning."
"It's a long story-..."
"It is correct, I have plenty of time."
"Fine, have it your way," started Trowa, "but why are you up so early?"
"It was only a dream, one that could be proved correct with future events."
Shinji stared quizzically as Trowa then began to relate their information.

"HOLY SHIT!!!"
The command line was quiet only a few moments ago, now it was so full of senseless noise and voices Major Walker had to turn the volume down quite a couple notches. He however, couldn't help but swear as well as he braced himself for the incoming missiles that had suddenly veered towards him. "EVASIVE MANEUVRES!"
He watched as himself and the Leos around him as they jumped back with amazing speed to dodge the incoming missles. A few of them were firing and knocking the missiles out of the sky, away from them, while others were meerely dodging the huge explosives with some agility you wouldn't think possible. The Major smiled to himself, for he had trained all these men himself.
As the missles cleared, he didn't waste any time: "Listen people, this was unexpected. Orders have not changed, do not engage the enemy unitl we are authorized to-..."
There was no question as to what the speakers were now blaring inside each of the Mobile Suit's cockpits. "All units! Fire at will! Fire at will! Engage any enemy forces on sight, shoot to kill!" the voice itself almost sounded panicked. No, thought the Major, it was definetly panicked alright.
"Never mind, people, stick to formation and engage!" George brought his systems up to primary power reserves and primed his rifle. "Go, go, GO!"
------------
Trieze Kushrenada almost began laughing as he watched the consequences of his enemies attack on his base. Not a single building was left with any sort of damage while the area surrounding it was littered with craters. He could even see explosions still visible in the distance where a stray missile must of hit an enemy vehicle.
With another good look around him, Trieze sat back down and turned his head so he could look at the readings on his computer: it was not as he suspected however. There were no readings of any high energy concentrations, there was simply a high wavelength pattern that seemed to be resonating throughout the entire fortification. With all the knowledge that Trieze had, he was stumped with the readings.
Could it be, Trieze thought, that whatever technology that Eva is using is able to sync with our own equipement?
He decided, instead, to turn back and watch the battle.

"Units 009 through 058 move up through the western sections."
"Team Bravo here, firing has no effect-..."
"We are out, I repeat, all ammunition has been-..."
"SHIT SARGE!!! THEM MISSLES ARE COMING BACK AT US!!!"
Walker slowed his command Leo until it was at rest on the summit of the huge hill overlooking his enemy's base. Through the huge clouds of grey and black dust he could see craters littering the ground surrounding the base and mountains. Though, none seem to have actually hit the base. Faulty guidance coordinates, the major thought? And damn, those voices were getting annoying.
Further thoughts were interrupted as another voice came through the comm. "Major Walker, do you read me?"
"Walker here, I read you command."
"What the hell just happened, the forward forces have just met casualties. I want to know exactly just what the hell happened!"
"We were attacked by our own bombardments sir."
"Say again?"
"Our own missiles turned towards our own forces, we barely knocked them outta the sky before the rest passed us."
"Ah shit, I want to know just what the hell is going-..."
"Command?" The major gave his radio a punch, but the only sound was now static discharge. "Dammit, they're jamming us." He closed the frequencies except for those to his team and looked down again.
He wasn't prepared for the horror that met his eyes.
It was standing right in the epicenter of the base. It was easy to make out because of the facts that it was bright red and extremely huge, at least twice the size of an ordinary mobile suit. He barely heard the command come through his short wave radio;
"Target the red figure! That is the primary target, destroy that...THING!"
Combat reflexes took over as the Major issued the same orders to his squad and instantly began to unleash a stream of concentrated fire on his enemy. He watched as his comrades around him did the same.
It would have really been a sight to behold, watching over three hundred mobile suits surrounding a huge base both on the ground and in the air all firing at the same target. It was made even more so for the fact that the red figure in the center immediately started walking almost lazily straight forwards into the heart of the attack with the highest concentration of fire. You could see the white flares of missles and bullets moving at extreme speeds towards the Eva before veering off at the last second or harmlessly impacting into it.
"GOD DAMMIT!!! WHY WON"T IT FALL?!"
Walker tried to ignore to radio chatter as he reloaded and fired another volley at the huge mech that was quickly killing space between it and the closest attackers.
Then, it all turned into a melee. The front most Mobile Suits in front of the Eva started to back off, the hesitance of the pilots showed through the attacking units. It was met by the Eva arching its back and making a mad lunge into the center of the swarm. It brought its right arm up and then arched it accross the sky downwards and to the left as the major watched the bright orange octagonal shapes erupt and stretch away from the fingers, instantly ripping apart his allies.
"DON'T STOP SHOOTING!"
Finally the Major had enough and shut off the outside radio completely. Dammit, he thought, what the hell is happening here? He could only watch helplessly as the huge unknown war machine seemed to rip right through the lines of his allies, only leaving shredded metal in its wake.
All further assualts on the mech became instantly limited by his allies when it took down five Aries at the same time by launching itself into the air using some unknown means and ripping them to shreds before landing, almost like a huge spider on the ground, sending fits of snow and dust into the air around it. The Major could only stare.
George N. Walker didn't even need to guess that a retreat was ordered, watching his own forces fall back.
---------
Trieze smiled in his office. He had once again overcome his enemies, only this time he would get rid of them altogether.
This was the dawn of his era, he thought pleasantly to himself. His scenario was going according to his new plan.
