ALRIGHTY!

I got nothing to say actually other than

"Let us continue, please"

Well then... shall we?

In the locker room...

"Damn those stupid idiots! They're just getting even with us for cutting them out of the action!" Misato vented her frustration as she kept kicking the front locker

"I am so pissed off!" she clenched both her fist as she kept kicking the poor locker while cursing out loud.

"Enough, already. This makes you more childish." Ritsuko was bemused as she was burning a book.

"He's just showing off and wanted to be praised... plus he's a small man," she commented.

"But how did they even know about A.T. Fields?!" Misato argued back.

"There's been a huge leak of classified material." Ritsuko disclosed it.

"The Intelligence Department needs to do their shitty job!" Misato complained.


Somewhere on the hangar...

"We will now begin the J. A with the activation test." the speaker announced.

Everyone was on the command hub to witness their man-made prototype robot which was revealed to be a giant humanoid that is similar to the EVA unit but without the head.

"There is no danger. Observe from that window, knowing that you are perfectly safe." the chairman explained as many of the investors were watching quietly with their telescopes to see it up close while both Misato and Ritsuko, who the latter was holding a cup of tea, was only standing quietly, observing the scene upon them.

"Ready for activation!" a female staff reported.

Meanwhile, the man-made robot named J. A was preparing itself to exhibit off what it got, as the back protrudes out some control rods, all in ready for the order.

"Begin walking cycle!" he hailed.

"Roger. Next stage. Raise left foot ahead." the staff complied.

The J. A robot slowly raised its left foot, as it began its first step. Everybody got ecstatic on the showing as they have witnessed another pioneering machine, with the commander having a smile on his face.

It was starting to stride its footing. Slowly but surely with its balance being normal

Misato was impressed with the machine, creating a robot without requiring a pilot appears very resourceful "Ah, walking naturally. That's something to be proud of." she remarked as Ritsuko just glimpse on the sideline, seemingly uneasy.

Then out of nowhere, a beep startled the commander as he look to his right, seemingly nervous "what's wrong?"

"Strange! The reactor pressure is increasing!" the staff explained.

"The temperature of the first level cooling liquid is also rising." another staff explained as well.

The honeycomb graph for the cooling system of the man-made robot on their screen was starting to increase pressure as it kept alarming.

The chairman leaned over as the situation got worse "Open the release valve! Pump in the neutron-deceleration liquid!" he instructed.

"Negative! The pumps are not responding." the staff reacted in which the chairman got more anxious as the J. A kept on walking, positioning the spectator's life in danger.

"Not good! Shut it down!" he commanded again.

The crew tried to comply with the command as they did their best, but the only one that didn't obey... was the robot itself, as it began to override its program, altered its code, and evolved to be self-aware, causing it even more perilous than the EVA's themselves.

"It's can't be..." the chairman mumbled nervously as everyone at the deck began to panic.

The J. A stepped on the building that was enveloped with the humans, almost killing them in the process as it kept on striding, including both Ritsuko and Misato, who coughed severely as they were also nearly stepped on its foot.

"The robots badly-behaved like the man who built it!" she clamored sarcastically.

It harbored its footing as the robot wandered endlessly.

"Compression value is operating irregular!"

"Control rods aren't working!"

"There is a possible danger of meltdown!"

The chairman just gaped blankly, incapable to comprehend the intellectual process of his invention as it got worse and worse "I...I don't believe it! J. A has been programmed to handle all possible contingencies!" he said as he lowered his head a bit.

"This situation shouldn't be possible!".

"And yet we're looking at an impending core meltdown!" Misato noted.

"Under the circumstances, the only option we can do is wait for it to shut down on its own." The chairman said.

"What are the odds of that?" She questioned.

"0.00002%. It would take a miracle." A staff member responded.

"I prefer desperate action over waiting for a miracle." She turned to face the chairman "Tell me how to shut it down!" she requested.

"We've tried every possible option!" the chairman said in a defeated tone

"No! There's got to be the last resort, a command to wipe the whole thing," she asserted back "Give me that password".

"Total program deletion is top secret." the chairman argued back "I can't authorize it, I'm not allowed to tell you," he said as Misato was getting frustrated with the crisis at hand

"Then get the clearance! Right now!" She yelled.

The room got more unnerving as the silence grew until a sigh was heard.


A few minutes later...

"It's me, let me speak to Mr. Manda in Tokyo-2... Yes, that's right, the Home Ministry Director."

Misato was staring frustrated with her arms crossed at the chairman as he kept on talking about the situation at hand.

"Then if I get permission from Mr. Yoshizawa, you'll approve?" he asked over the phone as he continued.

"Yes, I have Mr. Witz's approval already... Yes. Yes, thank you." he finished.

"The evasion of responsibility..." she murmured.

"Official orders are on their way. This will make an official operation" he stated as Misato grew more frustrated.

"That won't cut it! Once that thing exploded, it will be too late for that!" She opposed those reports.

Sadly, It still maintained as the robot kept on roaming endlessly.

The group were in the ruined control panels to wait for the official orders

"Jet Alone is currently heading towards Atsugi," it announced as Misato spun around.

"We're out of time. I'm taking action for myself." She decided as she started to walk past the chairman "Excuse me." she noted as the chairman just stared blankly.

In the locker room...

Misato was dressing up her battle suit as she have the telephone on her left ear with the left shoulder as the support with Ritsuko inclining her back against the wall.

"Hey, Hyuga? I've worked things out with Atsugi, so please send Shinji and Unit 01 over here equipped with the F module... Right, it's an emergency." she clarified.

"This is hopeless. Call it off, Capt. Katsuragi." Ritsuko remarked as she persisted "Besides, how would you even go on stopping it?"

Misato turned her face to her friend with a small grin "By inputting a direct command manually."


Somewhere in the sky.

A massive black jet with the Eva unit 01 attached at the underside was on the landing grounds as they are preparing to face J.A robot.

"Are you serious?" The chairman questioned.

"Yes." She answered.

"But the interior is already flooded with contamination. It's too risky." He reasoned as she smiled at him.

"If this works, it will save everyone." She replied as they shifted to see a staff member swing his ax at the glass.

"You'll be able to manually open the hatch once the command signal from us stopped," He informed as another staff member gave her the ropes "You can get inside through the backpack rig." He stated as she slowly nodded

"Hope."

She turned her head to the chairman, whom he was facing the wall with shame, confused.

"That's the password to delete the programming."

She gave a small smile "Thank you."

The Jet prepared for lift-off as they were hovering into the sky.

Misato faced Shinji, whom he already wore his EVA plug suit to demonstrate the objective of the crisis.

"Our target is the JA. There's a risk of a reactor meltdown in the next five minutes. So we can't let it come any closer to a population center." She finished as she turned her head to Hyuga, who was piloting the jet.

"Hyuga?"

"Ma'am?"

"Once you cut the Eva loose, get clear and ascend to a secure altitude." She instructed.

"Roger." He saluted.

"Shinji?"

"Yes?"

"Sprint alongside the target and set me onto its rear. After that, attempt to delay the J. A robot in any way you can." She stated as Shinji was surprised on the suicide mission.

"You're going inside that thing?!" He doubted.

"Right." She responded.

"That's nuts!" He shrieked as Misato smiled, trying to calm him down.

"Trust me, I know this is crazy. But it's our best shot, though." She reassured him as he was still unconvinced at hand.

"But it's too dangerous!" He begged.

"Don't worry. Your Eva will be fine... even if it blows up in your face." She tried to joke with him.

"That's not what I indicated! I meant that for you, Miss Misato!" He reasoned.

'This young boy will be a death of me' she sighs inwardly with a smile.

"Well, we have to do everything we can. It wouldn't sit right otherwise, right?" She commented as she kept her soft smile. Shinji gazed at her for a few seconds before he switched it to be resolved, desiring to protect her on this mission.

"I have eyes on the target!" Hyuga yelled.

The J. A robot kept on marching aimlessly. Time to start the mission and save everyone.

"Okay, let's go!"

Soon... the jet disconnected the EVA unit 01 from its cables as its preparing to drop off out of the sky.

"Eva drop zone reached!"

"Release docking lock!"

"Roger!"

The connectors were detached as the EVA unit 01 descended from the sky and landed on the dirt luckily... and sprinted with the right hand containing Misato, and both managed to catch up the J. A.

"We've caught up!" He smiled

"Less than four minutes to go! Grab onto it!" She exclaimed.

The EVA Unit 01 managed to catch up with the J. A robot as it latched swiftly into a roll bar at the back, making the J. A robot stopped marching while the arms flailing wobbly, this is their chance to stop it as Shinji tried to pull hard even though he wasn't the strongest in terms of strength, but that doesn't matter.

"Don't worry! Just set me up there!" She shouted.

The EVA Unit 01 lifted its right hand as it escorted Misato to the backside of the J. A robot, she hopped off into the back surface... until it shook, making her stumbled as she slips.

Shinji grew his wide eyes, worrying about the current event "Ms. Misato!" he shrieked.

Luckily, she managed to grip into one of the handles with her hand, Shinji sighed and was relieved that she didn't fall.

"Be careful." He convinced her with a small smile as he saw her nod with a smile and did a peace sign.

She rotated the Lid behind as the latch opened, releasing a steamy heat of the smoke.

"Talk about hot! This doesn't look good." She sarcastically remarked as she got inside. Shinji goes up to the front with a relentless drive.

"STOP YOU BASTARD!" He yelled at the J. A robot as he grabbed the head with his right hand to slow down while Misato was inside to delete the codes, soon... mist of smoke pumped out as he tried to cover the said smoke with his hand to cool down or still slowing it down.

"Ms. Misato, please hurry!" He pleaded with a worried tone.


Inside...

Misato looked back and forth with a paper as she was examining at the door that would lead to the codes area as she smiled a little.

"This is it," she noted. And punched the entrance button as she went inside, swipes the card, and proceeds into the programming codes as she input the password.

HOPE

Once she typed it out, she pressed enter... and didn't work.

Okay, the circumstances got even much worst since the password didn't work.

""Error"? What's the deal?" she grumbled as she tried it again... and it didn't work for the second time as it maintained its beeping.

"There's no doubt. The program's tampered!" she clamored as it began to shake. Smoke on his right hand pressured high as Shinji noticed the smoke and closed it with his other hand, which did result in the backside pumping out the smoke... causing the heat to increase higher and more difficult on the inside.

At the base, the honeycomb pattern starts to rise into the danger zone "Reactor will hit prompt criticality in zero point two!" the staff yelled.

The chairman got more anxious as he had placed his hope into Misato and yet... it gets worse, will she be able to stop it or not?

"Control rods aren't activating!"


Back to Misato...

"Here goes nothing..." she mumbled as she tried to pull out the rods inside out, she was struggling as she wasn't that strong but she have no other options but to be hopeful that this improvised plan will work.

The J. A robot began to pump out multiple patches of fog out of the many holes, making Shinji grow apprehensive and didn't want to believe the unthinkable "Ms. Misato! Get out of there, NOW!" he shouted.

"DAMN IT, MOVE!" She yelled.

Shinji got pale as his sweat drew out and his eyes bulged on the situation, he didn't want to lose his guardian... like his father who abandoned him. "Ms. Misato!" he shouted


At the base...

"Zero point one to prompt criticality!" the staff shouted as the event unfolds on the screen where the honeycomb pattern was all but less than 10 are red-colored, which means it is now a death sentence.

"It's no use, it's going to blow!"

The chairman shuts his eyes, feeling failed that they will die in any second now 'it's all over...'


Back to the battle...

"Ms. Misato!" he screamed.

She kept on pushing, determined to save everyone, no one will die on this planet...but as luck would have it...

The computer was no longer error, but all green and seemingly deleted its malfunction codes as the rods penetrated while Misato just watched with a shock on her face, making the room from red to green.

The J. A robot stopped its fog as it was no longer functioning, protruding back its control rods inside and squatting its position. Shinji just gapes at the robot, surprised by the fact that...

She did it! She saved everyone.


Back at the base...

The honeycomb pattern display came from red to green, meaning it was no longer in danger.

"Pressure down! All readings are normal!"

"We're saved!"

"She did it!"

The chairman was surprised but gives out a smile, indicating that he was thankful to her for saving the planet and gained some respect out of the fact that she was a determined commander.

Everyone was celebrating inside as the crisis was over. Ritsuko has no comment as she knew that Misato have done this kind of thing before, being risky and suicidal but managed to accomplish it.

'That fool...' she thought.


At the field...

"Ms. Misato, are you all right?! Ms. Misato!" Shinji kept on pestering but with worry as he hoped she was alright, he got his response.

"Yeah, but I feel like crap..." she joked.

He sighs in relief "Thank goodness! You're alive!" he said as he kept on continuing "Wow, that's great... What a relief. You were amazing! I was so wrong about you! A miracle did happen!" He praised her valiant efforts as she raised her head, with a tired smile.

"Yeah...But this little miracle was arranged by someone." she had assumed as she starts to wonder who set this up, the crisis could have gone worst if it wasn't for her efforts... maybe there's something out there where... they were not alone...

Maybe it wasn't an angel attack... but was there another threat against them? Probably more... threatening and gruesomely? Whatever it is... the NERV better be ready.

Afar from the two robots into the mountains... a mechanical black condor that has lasers at the wings observed secretly with a camera on the head...

Once the recording stopped, it squawked as it flew in a different direction, wishing it not to be detected by them.


At the Nerv base...

"Unit 01 has been retrieved safely. There's no danger of contamination." Ritsuko explained to Gendo about the events that transpired. He kept his cold gaze as he kept on listening.

"Aside from Capt. Katsuragi's actions, everything went according to the scenario." She remarked...

"...Well done." He praised.

Thou the events were saved thanks to the captain, his mind wondered elsewhere... back in the plane where the body of the Ramiel disappeared... in a blink. He should be calculating some counter plans if he were to see this kind of mishap again.

'I need to get to the bottom of this... the third impact will happen… no matter the cost...' he thought.


The following day...

Sitting on the table was Shinji Ikari who was eating his breakfast, which consists of crunchy bread toast, eggs, and coffee on the table. Alongside with Pen-Pen and his fish, both simultaneously on their movements.

Both turned to see that sliding the door to the side was Misato, in her blue vest, bra, and shorts, due to once again... her lack of sleep and full of eyebags on display, scratching her stomach area.

"Morning..." she greeted back.

She took a piece of Yebisu, again, and starts to chug it down, making herself from being a sourpuss into a joyful kid... again.

"Next up, a nice morning shower!" she remarked, much to Shinji's dismay of her drinking alcohol in the morning as she kept talking to herself "Where did I leave my bra and panties?"

He felt disappointed that she have two different personas, on one hand, she is a strict, determined, and intelligent captain who knows how to do her work... but once come to the house, she was a slob, lazy, and a beer-loving girl who can't cook, or laundry.

A doorbell rang as it was revealed to be Toji and Kensuke "Good morning, Mr. Ikari!" They exclaimed to see Shinji being the grouchy one, both feel disappointed since they didn't see Misato.

"Good morning..." he mumbled as he turned his head "I'm heading off!"

Misato smiled with a beer in her hand... after taking a shower "Have a nice day!" she said gleefully.


In the road...

They were walking down the sidewalk as the two were in front of Shinji.

"Ms. Misato is so cool..." Toji swooned on about Misato.

"I thought so, too." Shinji commented but followed it up "but she's so embarrassing at home! She's sloppy, dresses like a bum, and is a complete slob!" He ranted as he continued "Watching her act like that, makes me feel embarrassed!"

"How nice for you..." Kensuke remarked.

"What do you mean?" Shinji questioned as Kensuke rushed near to him with an unimpressed look.

"You're such a baby, Ikari." Kensuke sarcastically replied as Toji did the same.

"You said it!" Toji complimented while making Shinji annoyed with their statements.

"And why is that?" He questioned as both smiled softly.

"That's the real Misato, the one we outsiders never got to see," Kensuke explained "That means you're family."

Shinji was surprised for a second... Family... he guesses there were right...when was the last time he have a "family"?

He smiled at the thought of it.


Few meters away...

Unknown to them... a Red and maroon Aston Martin DB7 and a Black police Datsun 240z are parking at the different sides of the road... observing the three boys at hand in which the trio didn't notice.

"My liege... I have found the boy, but it seems that he was with his two other companions..." a growling bombastic voice reported

"No need to rush there... my fellow scout... we need to gather more data about this young boy, there's something about him in which we can obtain," a sinister voice tone remarked.

"Urghhhh, when will we get away from them? The more time we kept observing them, the more time we will be detected!" a smooth-talking voice complained as he kept on continuing "I don't want my paint to be scrapped you know!".

"Patience, doc... our time will soon arrive... once that third pilot of theirs arrived here and gather many data about these EVA Units as well as the pilots... we will give them a welcome party" he explained.

"Even if they are oversized... like the combiners... how are we going to face them with our puny sizes, they were also using distinct type of firepower?" the growling tone asked.

"We manage to steal one of these ANGEL bodies thanks to those… vehicons, once you come back here, you will try to experiment with the body and create something out of it, doc...For now... retreat, both of you," he commanded.

"Yes, my liege" both obeyed as both drove slowly and flew out of the scene.


That was it for Episode 2...

Now we are getting some progress as we learned that there's lurking somewhere in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to attack...

If you knew who are these characters... Again, it will be revealed because I tried to not make it obvious without revealing the names.

The following episode will finally show up a third pilot here (You all knew this is coming and knew who this is) as well as more easter eggs or reference (I don't know, something like this).

I hope you all enjoy this story and I will try my best to continue it.

So see ya all
