Episode 7: W vs Ramiel
Shinji's been helping Rei forget about the whole 'feminine side' incident even though he tried so hard not to look at the photos that Misato and Asuka took but he did. Shinji was trying really hard not to blush or laugh.
Shinji was wearing a white striped shirt, black tie, black vest, black fedora, and black pants and shoes.
"They don't look that bad." Rei looked at him.
She was wearing a sleeveless yellow hood, a black striped shirt, black tights, and white boots.
"That's because you weren't the one wearing them." Rei stated. Shinji could tell that this whole experience has really gotten Rei's mood down.
"Alright, aibou, how about we go out for lunch?" Shinji asked. "It could help you feel at least a little better." Rei stared at him before nodding.
"Alright, I'm hungry anyways."
Soon, they were outside eating.
"Well, aibou, isn't this relaxing?" Shinji asked as he ate his burger. Rei looks at him with a slight smile.
"Actually, it kind of is. I feel a little better already." Rei answered before eating her salad. Shinji smiled.
"Yup, just us, some food, fresh air, no work, and-." Before he could finish the two see a giant floating blue crystal octahedron attacking the city.
"The fifth Angel, Ramiel."
(Play WBX Xtreme by Aya Kamiki and TAKUYA)

While Shinji and Asuka are exploring a dark place while Rei is in RevolGarry about to go into the GaiaLibrary.
[Hittori de wa todokanai yume (Kensaku suru mugen no Archive kioku to iu umi e to Dive)] Rei finds the book she needs while Shinji and Asuka are caught and Rei starts reading it.
[Kimi to nara kanaerareru Half & Half (Double Boiled Extreme!)] Scene changes to the six halves of W then Rei and Asuka teasing Shinji and soon W took their place riding on the HardBoiler. Then the 6 halves begin walking towards the screen with Joker, Trigger, and Metal on the left and Cyclone, Luna, and Heat on the right. The scene shows Shinji getting out his Joker memory and Rei getting out her Cyclone Memory. The two makes their henshin position despite being far apart.

[Kiseki Okoru (So we can make it!) W wo sagase!] W rides on the highway on the HardBoiler with RevolGarry behind and behind that is Eva-01 with the same color as W.
As song ends Shinji and Rei stand back-to-back and the camera rotates on them and W. The logo appears again with forms of W and ends with the Cyclone and Joker form performing the famous pose.
"So much for relaxation." Rei stated as everyone was running toward the shelters.
"Yeah, c'mon we have to help." Rei nodded and Shinji got on his phone and soon the RevolGarry appeared when everyone was gone. They got in but inside they see could see the street opening meaning that Unit 2 will be deployed since Asuka just told them about the repairs. "Looks like Asuka is being sent in. Rei, we need to do a lookup on Ramiel." Rei nodded and closed her eyes.
She already knew which keywords to use so it didn't take that long to find the book. Rei found it and started reading before she went out of the GaiaLibrary with the new information on Ramiel.
"Well, aibou, did you find it?" Rei nodded but before she could answer they see Ramiel firing a huge laser at Unit 2's chest before bring it down.
"Yeah, Ramiel has a dangerous beam attack that can last for a long time. Ramiel can fire with extreme accuracy and could detect any threat even before it's coming from underground. It's basically a flying fortress." Rei pointed out.
"Ouch, and Unit 2 was just reactivated. I just hope that Asuka is alright. Should we take a shot at it?" Rei shook her head.
"It's AT field is one of the strongest among the Angels, without the Eva, we might as well be throwing rocks at it. Like I said this Angel is practically a giant flying fortress." Rei explained.
"So basically we're sitting ducks?" Rei nodded.
"Yes, only with the Eva, we can beat this thing. But, I doubt that NERV will fall for our 'borrowing' methods."
"Great. I just hope the NERV will open towards W's help out of their own free will. And you know, neither me nor you could approach them." Shinji said before taking the RevolGarry to a safe place.
"Unless…" Rei started.
Shinji knew that he isn't going to like this idea.
"Check the gate and the status of both Unit 2 and the Second Child!" Misato ordered while Ryubee looked at Gendo.
"It appears that Ramiel is more dangerous than we thought. We should have collected more data instead of launching an Eva." Ryubee said.
"A minor setback, we will defeat the Angel before the day is out." Gendo said but Ryubee shook his head.
"And how? The Angel has a strong AT field reading and it nearly destroyed Unit 2 before it took its first step." Gendo looked at him with a somewhat annoyed face.
"What would you suggest?" he asked.
"As much as I hate to admit this but we need enlist Kamen Rider W's assistance for this." This honestly caught Gendo's surprise.
"Are you crazy?" Ryubee smiled.
"Why not? You saw how powerful W was in Unit 1 and so far, we don't know if he holds a grudge against you. Plus Ramiel has started to drill towards this base and we need all the help we can get." Gendo stood there and thought about it.
"Even so, I don't see him walking in front of our door and-." Just then one of the technicians came to him.
"Sir, we have Kamen Rider W on sight."
"Where?"
"On our front door." Gendo was surprised and Ryubee smiled.
Outside, W was literally waiting for the door to open.
"I'm telling you, Rei, this is not going to work. I'd rather steal the Eva, not play nice just to get it." Shinji stated from his side. Soon W's right eye started blinking.
"Don't worry Shinji, this is only temporary. I don't like this either but we don't we have much of a choice right here." Rei stated. W sighed. Shinji couldn't believe he was actually going with this.
"You want me to WHAT!?"
"Shinji, I know you're not going to like this idea but we have to make a deal with NERV to allow us to pilot Unit 1."
"I'd rather face Ramiel as W than face that dirty bastard."
"Don't worry, you won't face him as Shinji Ikari." Shinji seemed confused at this until Rei brought out her Cyclone Memory and pressed on it.
"CYCLONE!"
Shinji then seemed to understand what his partner is saying.
"So we're going to make the deal as W so we get to pilot Unit 1 without the hard work and keep our identities a secret?"
"That's basically it."
"I don't know, Rei."
"Shinji, what other choice do we have?" Shinji thought about it before getting the DoubleDriver out and on his waist.
"The things I do for you, Rei." Shinji muttered and pulled out his Joker Memory and pressed on it.
"JOKER!"
Rei smiled as her Driver appeared.
"Fine, but don't expect me to like it. Also, Rei, don't talk. Gendo could recognize your voice along with any other key personnel." Rei made W nodded meaning that she gets it. Just then the door opened revealing Misato.
"W? I've been instructed to lead you down to Commander Ikari." W nodded before getting in. When they got in the elevator Misato whispered to him.
"Are you two insane!? Coming here like this is a bad call."
"It was her idea, not mine besides we can't steal Unit 1 all the time." Misato nodded seeing that neither Shinji nor Rei have any other choice.
"By the way, is she-?" W nodded.
"How is Asuka by the way?"
"In the hospital room but she's still unconscious. Unit 2 also took heavy damage but it won't take long to fix, Unit 1 is on standby, Unit 0 is in storage because we don't have a…proper pilot for it." W nodded before the door opened. Everyone gasped at the site of W and tried to ignore him but just couldn't because of his reputation especially with Unit 1.
"Follow me." Misato instructed and W did so. On the monitors nearby W could see Ramiel drilling while it was transforming into various shapes to hold off any incoming attack. W soon presumed following Misato until Misato stopped him at the front doors of Gendo's office. "The Commander is waiting for you." Just as Misato was about to leave she whispered so quiet that only W could hear it.
"Be careful." W nodded before opening the door. He sees Gendo and W was resisting all urges to punch him.
"Kamen Rider W? I am Commander Gendo Ikari and we welcome you to NERV." Gendo placed his arm out while W just stared at it.
"We need all the help we can get." Rei stated from the back of W's mind before making W shake Gendo's hand.
"Thank you. Now straight to the point, the Angel is planning to drill right to the base and since you are a vigilante, I presume you wish the Angel to be gone, correct?" W nodded.
"I…wish to be a temporary pilot for Unit 1 until the Angel is gone." W explained.
"Very Well, we're still working on a plan so stay here until it's done."
"But I do have a certain set of conditions while I'm here."
"Such as?"
"First, I don't want anyone to examine my belongings or questions how I got them. Second, no monitoring me while I'm here. Third, I want the Eva on standby for me whenever an Angel appears. Finally, don't even think of registering me as a member of NERV so I don't need a synch examination on me." W said.
"What makes you think that I'll agree to those conditions?" Gendo asked.
"I'm the only who can properly fight an Angel even without an Eva. But I'll do better with Unit 1 and isn't it your top priority to exterminate the Angels?" Gendo sighed out of frustration knowing that W is right.
"Very well, I'll agree to those conditions." W nodded before walking out of the office.
"Asshole." W muttered.
"At least we could use the Eva without much trouble. Anyways, we have to stay here until they come up with a plan so let's do our best not to draw too much attention." Rei stated in W's mind. Shinji nodded before exploring the place. W first decided to visit Asuka's room since the shot looked liked it pierced through Unit 2's chest.
W went to medical room and it wasn't hard to get into Asuka's room. So far Asuka was unconscious but her injuries weren't that bad. At least she didn't have an eye patch like before. They soon see her waking up and was surprised by W's appearance..
"What are you guys doing here?" Asuka asked. W looked around and made sure no one was listening.
"We had to make a deal so we could pilot Unit 1. We just couldn't steal it forever." W explained. "Anyways, NERV is working on a plan to kill Ramiel so we have to stay here until that plan is good to go." Asuka nodded.
"What you guys going to do in the meantime?"
"Explore, make sure no one looks at us funny, etc. Now get some rest we have a hell of a night soon." W said but before he left.
"Is Wonder Girl-?" W looked back but Rei spoke in a tiny voice.
"Do you really want to know?"
"Never mind." W nodded before leaving. And that's when W decided to spend the whole day at NERV base. He was also watching NERV's attempts on at least distracting Ramiel but nothing didn't work. They tried missiles, the air force, and even an inflatable Unit 1 which W tried so hard not to laugh at.
W was wondering around while avoiding others who just asked him several questions especially Ritsuko. Inside W, both Shinji and Rei, felt déjà vu from all the questions that were being thrown at him.
"How long have you've been W?" Ristuko asked.
"A long time."
"How are your GaiaMemories different than others?" The fact that Ritsuko knows about the GaiaMemories was not comforting.
"Next question."
"How did you obtain a hover bike?"
"An old friend. That's all I'm saying."
"Alright, how about…" After an hour W walks out of the lab feeling tired due to the amount of questions that she had. How could one woman have so many questions? He then decided to look around a little bit more.
W went in the Eva pens to find three inactive Evas. He sees Unit 2 being repaired since it took a huge blast from Ramiel. Soon he moved to Unit 1 which was just standing there, W couldn't shake the feeling that Unit 1 was 'watching' him but decided to ignore it. W soon sees Unit 0 and looks at it.
"My Eva…" Rei stated in the back of W's mind.
"Since this thing could only be used by you…is it possible that this Eva could be related to your past?"
"I don't know and we can't pilot it otherwise NERV will be very suspicious of us. It's not worth the risk. I'll try to learn more about my past another time."
"Alright, aibou. Just let me know on how I could help."
"Interesting, isn't it?" W looked behind and sees Ritsuko. "One of humanity's accomplishments; the Evangelion."
"What's this one? I've never seen this Eva before." W didn't see it before but he knows about it just not that much.
"Evangelion Unit 0, one of our early models, while it is operational we don't have the proper pilot for this."
"Why?"
"She went missing two years ago. We can't confirm that she is dead so we can't get a replacement."
"Good to know that I'm still needed and that they care about me." Rei sarcastically said in W's mind.
"Did you know her?" W asked.
"Not on a personal level but yes."
"What was she like?"
"Really a blank slate and was only open towards the Commander." She explained.
"Great, a dead end."
"I see, thank you for the information." Ristuko nodded before leaving.
"So you were still the way I met you for a long time."
"Yeah, I know. I remembered being here and being with her. I'd hoped that she knew more about me but just another dead end."
"Relax Rei, I'll help you remember, I promise. Besides, something about what she said was little off." Inside W's mind Rei was smiling. W soon left the Eva Pens and wandered to the next room.
W seemed to have wondered into some sort of break room. Makoto, Maya, and Shigeru were all staring at W. W seemed to have notice this and looked at them.
"Uh, hi." W said. Makoto soon came up and examined him.
"Sugoi! A real super hero!" Makoto said as he further examined W.
"And an impressive pilot with no training." Maya further observed. Shigeru just ignored them and resumed drinking his coffee.
"You know, I'm still here, right?" W said causing Makoto to stop.
"Sorry, it's just that, wow. I've never seen a super hero up close."
"No problem. So what do you guys do here?" W asked.
"Basically we're just technicians and we keep monitor of the Eva in the Command Center." Maya explained.
"I see."
"We also saw your rating in the Eva Unit 1."
"How high was it?" W asked.
"Really high, enough to know that shouldn't be possible." Maya answered.
"Well, I guess it is especially for a hardboiled guy like me." W said. Rei just sighed in the back of his mind.
"Hardboiled?"
"Please, you're only half-boiled, aibou."
"I am hardboiled!" W exclaimed out loud. This made the others give him a weird look.
"Sorry?" W then looked at them and was embarrassed.
"It's nothing. Anyways, I'll be on my way." W soon left the room.
"Nice going, aibou." Rei teasingly said.
"Urusai!"
W soon went into the Command Room and looked around. No one was there except Misato. Misato noticed him.
"How are you two enjoying the tour?" She asked.
"It's been…something." Shinji answered from his side.
"This entire day was…fascinating. I also hoped for some information but…it was a disappointment." Rei stated from her side.
"Information? On NERV?" W shook his head. W looked around to see if anyone was listening.
"It's a long story but my aibou here doesn't really remember much on her past." Misato seemed shocked.
"I only remember working with NERV but nothing past that." Rei explained.
"I could look into that, if you want." Misato offered. W shook his head and his eye blinked.
"I appreciate the offer but I'd rather do it myself along with Shinji." Rei answered. Misato nodded her head. Just then the speaker went online.
"Major Katsuragi, please report to the meeting room." Misato sighed.
"I guess we have a plan now. You two better check on Asuka now." W nodded as Misato left.
"What kind of plan do you think they have?"
"Most likely one that will include two Eva Units." Rei stated before W left the room. W soon went into Asuka's room and sees Asuka walking out.
"They're discussing a plan now." W said. Asuka nodded.
"What do you guys think of NERV HQ?"
"It's been…a long day. We could tell you that." W answered before the two are called down.
(Later outside)
Despite W's high rating, Asuka was given the position of firing a Type-12 mortar. She has to stay in cover to get a perfect shot while W distracts Ramiel since W could get an Angel's attention pretty easily even without an Eva. The two were in the mountains one tops of their Evas before the operation can actually begin.
"So why would you two make a deal with NERV if neither of you trust them?" Asuka asked.
"Well, it is true neither me nor Rei like them but…anything to make sure that no more tears are made in this city." W explained.
"Besides, I doubt that we wouldn't last long against Ramiel without the Eva." Rei further explained. "It's time. See you on the other side, Asuka." Rei stated as W stood up. Asuka nodded before getting in her plug.
A few minutes later W was in position in the already transformed Unit 1. W was facing Ramiel now.
"Saa, now for the fun part. Ikuze, Rei."
"Hai, Shinji. How thrilling."
W soon pulled out the Cyclone and Joker Memories and brought two new ones.
"LUNA!"
"TRIGGER!"
He placed them in and moved the two slots aside.
"LUNA-TRIGGER!"
As W transformed so did the Eva. After it transformed a huge version of the Trigger Magnum appeared on its chest. It grabbed it and pointed it free hand at Ramiel.
"Saa, omae no tsumi o kazoero!"
W soon proceeded to shoot at Ramiel. The shots were all coming from separate directions but they all hit Ramiel regardless. Ramiel soon transformed into its Cannon form and fired. W rolled out of the way and used some of the buildings as cover and he continued shooting at Ramiel.
The shots were doing somewhat damage since Ramiel's AT field was one of the strongest among the Angels. They were slowly powering the field down but the word 'slowly' was the keyword. W couldn't keep this up forever and hoped that Asuka could make this shot count.
Soon they see a particle beam shot heading for Ramiel and at the same time Ramiel fired its own. The two beams converged before each one moved. The beam that was heading for Ramiel did hit it but not in the right spot. The shot heading for Unit 2 missed entirely. They could hear Ramiel 'screaming' before transforming again. This time it transformed into its Pentagram form and was charging its cannon.
"Well…this can't be good." Was all W could say before Ramiel fired. The shot was so powerful that the shot took out the whole mountainside. Luckily, the shot barely missed Unit 2.
"She's lucky, a shot like that had a ninety nine percent chance of killing her." Rei observed from her side of W.
"Better to have a chance than none." Just then W observed something wrong with Ramiel's AT field. The shield looked like it has been glitched; going on and off.
"The shot must've weakened the barrier!" Rei concluded.
"So we could take this guy out with a Memory Break?"
"We can but we will also need a shot from Unit 2 so…"
"We have to buy her time. Alright, let's do it." W soon shot at Ramiel on again. Ramiel fired but they were only minor shots because it used up so much energy in its last one. Meanwhile Unit 2 was aiming but had to wait for the rifle to charge up. W was trying to buy as much time as Asuka needed but this job wasn't as easy as it sounded.
At least the shots were doing more damage this time than before the first shot. Asuka's rifle was nearly charged and was now aiming. Meanwhile W resumed taking cover behind buildings while firing at Ramiel.
"How much longer?" Shinji asked from his side.
"Most likely around four to five more minutes." W then nodded his head and proceeded firing.
"Asuka, are you ready to fire again?"
"Yeah, I am."
"Good because we have an idea but we need to fire at the same time."
"What?"
"Just trust us on this."
"Alright, I just hope this idea of you two works." W soon got his own Trigger Magnum and placed the Trigger Memory in and closed the Magnum. Unit 1 was doing the same thing but without the Trigger Memory.
"TRIGGER! MAXIMUM DRIVE!"
Unit 1 pointed the Trigger Magnum with both hands and at the same time Unit 2 was about to pull its trigger.
"TRIGGER FULL BURST!"
W announced before he and Asuka fired. W fired multiple charged homing shots while Asuka fired her beam again. Ramiel couldn't block either of them and had to take them. Unfortunately after the shots Ramiel transformed into a crystal before dying.
"Well our work here is done." W said before the HardTurbuler appeared, he ejected from the entry plug before getting on it and flying away.
At NERV base, everyone was relieved that the Angel was finally dead.
"So it appears that W did his job." Ryubee said.
"Where were you?" Gendo asked.
"I have a daughter to check on." Ryubee explained. "So is W our ally." Gendo shook his head.
"Something tells me that W doesn't fully trust us and that he's onto us."
"Don't worry, I have several plans to deal with him along with others." Ryubee reassured.
(The next morning at the Double Detective Agency)
Shinji was typing.
"Can't believe that Rei's crazy idea worked. At least we could use the Eva without getting into too much trouble. Also, sometimes I know that I promised Rei to help her find out about her past and I'll make sure to be with her on every step. I just hope that neither NERV nor SEELE catches us."
Just then Shinji hears a couple of noises from the garage and decided to investigate. He soon sees Rei cooking.
"What are you doing?" Shinji asked.
"I've recently found a recipe for ramen noodles in the GaiaLibrary."
"Ramen requires meat and you don't eat meat, remember?"
"Which is why you'll be the one tasting this." Rei said as she got a spoon of it and quickly placed it in Shinji's mouth. "How is it?" Shinji soon opened his mouth and quickly began to run around looking for water.
"Need water!" Shinji screamed before running out.
"I guess I added too much hot sauce." Rei said before going back to the drawing board.
