Okay everyone, I hope that I filled up some of the complaints about Asuka. I know I introduced her late, But that was my intention. I hope Chapter three left you excited and wanting to read more, because I really could use some more reviews. This Idea has evolved SO many times since I first started, that It's growing and changing even now. I still am not quite sure how to find a resolution. And if anyone has any cool Ideas, I'd love to here them.
KAOS LEGION: Angel's Thesis
Chapter 4
This is it... Im going to die.
No. You cant die here. You cant lose to him
This outrage isn't Shinji's fault. He just... Just...
Lost control of his Eva. And now you will die because of his foolish mistake.
No! This isn't his fault.
Yes it is. You hate him remember? You despise the third child.
No! I used to. But he has helped me so much...
NO! He is and will always be the hateful third child. You despise him and you know it.
I... I don't know what to hate anymore...
He never loved you. He was always crazy over wonder-girl. To him you are a worthless piece of trash.
That's not true! That's not true...
These were the thoughts of a pained and dying Asuka. Her head was beginning to feel the effects of being crushed to death by a clawed Kaos hand. Any other time, this would be an honorable death. Except for the Kaos arm did not belong to a Kaos. It was currently under the possession of Shinji Ikari's Evangelion Unit 01.
Asuka could not stand the pain. She was going to die. Her head felt like it was Physically being crushed.
Why won't they cut power? Why?
The grinding agony continued. But, as soon as it had started, it came to an abrupt halt. Asuka opened her eyes, which were now physically bleeding. With a large scraping sound, she saw Raid's Kaos unit reach out and rip Unit 01's arm away. The other arm hung limp as Raid grabbed at it's throat. While it was lifted in a choke hold, He jammed a needle like apparatus into it's neck. The device sparked for a second, and then Eva Unit 01 fell to the ground, lifeless.
Asuka's power cord had long since been cut away, and as soon as the battery ran out, she fell unconscious as well. Raid stood there surveying the damage.
"Sixth Child report!" He heard fizzling over the radio.
He sighed. "Do you have to call me that?" He asked.
Gendo replied with a simple "Yes." then he continued. "Did you insert the EMP as I instructed?"
"Yeah.." he said with a smirk, "I wish you would of just let me tear it in half though..."
"Unit 01 is one of our only defenses. And my son is in there as well..." he paused for a second. "You cannot harm Shinji."
"I don't give a damn about some half pint brat who can't control his Eva."
To this Gendo was silenced. "Can you confirm that all Kaos are destroyed?"
After a second, Raid replied, "Negative. I only see four bodies."
"Can you handle the other two on your own?"
To this Raid laughed. "Are you kidding?" he ushered, as his Kaos unit crouched in preparation. "I live for this stuff..."
With that the radio cut out, and Back at NERV they could only watch the silver screens.
Raid detected the first of the two. He immediately dashed for it. Claws outstretched and blades at the ready. He could see it coming.
When it was nearly there, he jumped onto the wall of a nearby building, climbed up, and after the Kaos had stopped, came down on top of it with a crushing blow. With one slash through the back of the neck, the creature fell to the ground, limp.
After dealing with the other in the same fashion, he grinned at himself. If there was anything Raid loved, it was killing Kaos. It gave him a thrill and a rush.
Lucky for him these models still had the weak spot. The newer Evolutions of the Kaos have eliminated the possibility of a one hit KO. He had taken a risk. If these had been the Identical newer models, A hit to the neck would do no damage, and leave Raid completely exposed to a counter attack. He had to be careful, because now that NERV new the old weak spot, the leader surely would no longer send these models again. Still, given the situation, a quick kill was the only way. He smiled, knowing that behind the flashy fighting moves, NERV would never know of what a gamble he had taken.
"So," said Shinji, fresh from his hospital bed. It was the first time he had been up and about in nearly a week. "Why did you come save us...?"
Raid looked away. Although his vision was averted, Shinji could still sense the hatred in his cold, dark eyes.
He repeated the question. When no answer arose, he replied with a, "well, thanks. I don-"
"You're pathetic. Losing control of your Eva." he said. His words split through Shinji like ice. "Had it been my decision..." he now looked at Shinji, the hatred flowing through eye contact, "...I would have diced you up without hesitation."
A power was raising up inside Shinji. He wasn't sure what it was, but he soon realized that it was an urge. He had a deep rooted desire to kill this boy. To put and end to the loathing and distaste that so easily rolled off his lips. He suddenly had graphic images of this boy's death. He grinned in spite of it.
Suddenly he was snapped out of it.
What the hell was that? I could never kill anyone!
Sure you could... you could kill him.
NO! No way! I made a vow the day I started piloting.
A vow worthy of being broken.
Get out! I don't want you in here!
You know you will kill this boy. The Kaos inside of you demands it...
With that the voice dissipated and vanished. Shinji shrugged it off. In his life, he had heard enough voices.
"Look out Shinji!"
It came out of nowhere, but Raids foot came down hard on the back of Shinji's neck. Shinji grabbed his leg and twisted, sending Raid sailing to the ground. He did a back roll and landed on his feet. Shinji punched, and Raid countered, shoving his fist aside. Shinji did a high kick that had surprising force. Misato and Asuka held there breath as it flew towards Raid. He ducked and Shinji's foot grazed the boy's hair, sending it a fly with air pressure. Raid recoiled, bent down and thrust both hands into Shinji's stomach. Shinji flew three feet in the air, and crashed onto the mat in an aching mess.
"Winner!" Said Misato, weakly raising an arm. "Raid Kazuki..."
Misato walked over to help up Shinji. She was grinning. "You did great!" she said in a hushed voice. "You almost won! I don't think I've ever seen this much of a drastic change before, Shinji. You're getting better."
The boy stood and gave the traditional bow. He Had gotten better. Three weeks ago Raid had been kicking Shinji's ass without fail. He could feel his muscles steady increasing, and his sense of awareness had improved too. Something was changing inside him.
In the last few weeks, Ghendo and the rest of NERV had done intensive studies on unit 01 and it's new look and appendages. They had discovered that when Shinji enters Neo 01, The body and mind separate and Shinji fully "Becomes" the creature. He sees what the creature sees and his movements become the creature's movements all while his body lies motionless. This, although Much more efficient, requires much more emotional control. Also the creature's power cell was no longer needed. The power cord was of no use. It did not show any conceivable way of running out of power. It's energy levels as well as it's strength were all off the charts.
So here Shinji was, getting the crap beat out of him to train his body and mind so that he could pilot Neo 01. And he was getting close. In recent Kaos attacks Raid effortlessly handled the problem, their weak spot remaining on the back of the neck. Although, the last few had upgrades that eliminated the weak spot. There were more and more by the day, and both Shinji and Asuka feared that they would soon have to fight again.
The earsplitting Red alarm echoed throughout the vast hanger as if it were there to deafen them. It was louder and at a different pitch, signaling that it was a crisis situation. It meant that the Geo-front, as washed up as it was, had been infiltrated.
"Shinji-Kun!" Yelled Misato as she slammed into the railing on a catwalk. "We have reports that there are Ten in the Geo-front. Mr. Ikari has given me the order to launch Neo-01. Are you ready?"
As Shinji gazed back at the bustle and the other two loading up their units, he scarce wondered if he had the option to say no.
Like I said reviews are great whenever you get the time. Sorry for taking so long to update, and for it being so short. I've been busy with trying to start up an art commissioning business. Thanks for your time!
