Hello everyone!
Here is the long awaited 2nd chapter to my very first fanfiction!
I'm very sorry for the long wait. Life just keeps getting in the way and I was working on another story. I thank all of you for your patience.
One thing I probably forgot to mention is that while this follows the anime series with a few added in content from the manga, games, and Rebuild movies, this is essentially a retelling of Neon Genesis Evangelion from my perspective. Don't get me wrong, I love Evangelion as much as the next guy but there were a lot of things in it that either didn't make sense or left way too much up to the viewer's interpretation. There will be a lot of story changes but most of them are to make some of the story easier to follow.
Review time!
Ye Ole Sunbro: You are my first reviewer! Thanks for the support!
ultron emperor: Thanks for the praise! Your right about Destoroyah and Iris, thanks for giving me some ideas!
Dark Avenger874: I have noticed that a majority of the Evangelion/Godzilla crossovers are Shinji x Asuka stories so you will be happy to not that I'm not doing that pairing. This will be Shinji x Misato close friendship fic.
Guest #1: You can image whichever Godzilla you like but as i previously stated, I am using the Rulers of Earth Godzilla.
Guest #2: This is an Evangelion/Godzilla crossover, not an Evangelion/Naruto crossover. If this doesn't tickle your fancy then go read something else.
genesicgaogaigarvsgodgundam: Thanks!
RyuujiVantek: Believe me…it will be worth it.
Ultimate-Zelda-Fan: I never really intentionally put a TFS reference in here. Which part do you mean?
Mythfan: Ask and ye shall receive!
Guest #3: Rooting for the big man, eh? Good on ya!
Nick: Thank you and the next chapter Is here!
Evangelion and Godzilla belong to their respective owners. I do not own either of them.
Enjoy!
Chapter 2
Godzilla vs Sachiel
"We knew the world would not be the same. Few people laughed, few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita; Vishnu takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
-Robert J. Oppenheimer
TOKYO-3
THOOM
Godzilla trudged out of the water and onto the edge of the city. He growled contemptuously at the bony monster standing a few feet away from him. This foul abomination and its kind were responsible for disrupting the balance of nature and it would pay dearly for its transgressions. He wasn't exactly sure what the purple colored humanoid was but if it had any self-preservation, it wouldn't interfere with his vengeance.
Shinji was very close to craping a load in his drawers. His Eva's legs were literally shaking. 'Shit! SHIT! What the hell do I do now!? I can't fight that thing! It'll crush me like an egg!' Shinji mentally cursed.
Sachiel continued to stare up at the massive behemoth standing before him. He felt an emotion that he never felt before: anger. This creature would ruin everything. It was a bigger threat than the construct he was fighting. It must not interfere.
It had to DIE.
In that instant Sachiel's body began to enlarge and swell to gigantic proportions. He twisted and bulged; his limbs were growing and contorting in disturbing spasms. Each time he jerked around, the air was filled with cracking and squelching sounds that made Shinji's skin crawl.
NERV-CENTRAL DOGMA COMMAND CENTER
Everyone gasped when they saw the Angel began to gruesomely transform. "What in god's name…!?" Fuyutsuki said, his hands shaking with fear.
"The Angel's AT-Field has just disappeared! Its blood pattern is expanding!" Shigeru shouted as he looked at the readings on his console.
"It's damaged S2 Engine as well as its wounds have completely regenerated! The MAGI calculates that its offensive and defense capabilities have increased by 300%!" Maya announced fearfully.
"It's physically changing!" Hyuga gasped. Misato and Ritsuko didn't need to hear that as they could clearly see it all on the main screen. Their eyes widened in horror as the Angel continued its horrific transformation.
TOKYO-3
After several grueling seconds, Sachiel now stood in his fully transformed state. Godzilla narrowed his eyes at the slavering monstrosity before him. Shinji's morale plummeted. "There is no way my luck is this bad." He muttered.
The Angel was now a hulking, hunched over, 100 meter tall behemoth. It had top-heavy stance with muscled, lanky arms that gave it an almost gorilla-like appearance. It was covered head to toe in bony, armored plates and its S2 Engine and sunk into its body. But the most horrifying thing about its transformation was the massive, lamprey-like maw in the center of its body that had replaced its skull-like faces.
Shinji was clueless as to what he should do next. There was no way he could fight the newly transformed Angel or the giant dinosaur if it was hostile. The best tactic he could think of was to retreat and let these things fight each other. Unit-01 started to slowly back away when all of a sudden, the Angel whirled around and viciously backhanded it!
WHAMF
The Evangelion was sent flying halfway across Tokyo-3 and crashed head-first into a building, knocking off pieces of its armor in the process. But worst of all was that the blow was so strong that it completely dislodged the entry plug and sent it crashing into another building a few feet away from Unit-01. The force of the impact threw Shinji out of his seat and his head banged against the interior of the plug. He instantly blacked out.
With the construct out of his way, Sachiel turned his attention towards the monster. He got into a combative stance and the two creatures squared off against each other. For a long time the two of them stared each other down. Then it happened.
(Faith No More-Epic)
"SHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGG!"
"SKRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKKK!"
The two leviathans charged at each other, flattening and demolishing any buildings in their path. Sachiel swung his fist at Godzilla but the saurian saw it coming and dodged it. He then delivered a devastating uppercut that sent Sachiel crashing into a building.
Sachiel tried to get up but Godzilla was instantly upon him and began kicking his hide so hard, it began to heavily damage his armored plates. Sachiel rolled over and swung his right fist at Godzilla which managed to slug him in the face. Briefly disoriented, Godzilla caught Sachiel's other fist and violently twisted it, causing the Angel to shriek in pain. He then straddled the Angel and began to rapidly punch it in the "face", breaking its teeth and shattering its plates.
Having had enough, Sachiel suddenly lunged forward and sunk his teeth into the beast's shoulder. Godzilla roared in pain as the Angel began gnashing into his scaly hide. He punched the Angel in the gut several times and then managed to pry its mouth open and kick him away into another building.
The Angel instantly got up and launched a harpoon-like tongue out of its maw that speared into Godzilla's side. The saurian gritted his teeth in an attempt to block out the searing pain. Sachiel fired another harpoon tongue but Godzilla caught it before it could spear him through the face. He ripped out the other tongue that was in his side and tightly gripped the both of them. Sachiel launched another tongue at his face again but Godzilla moved his head out of the way, bit down on the appendage and tore it off.
As the Angel shrieked in agony, Godzilla yanked back on the tongues so hard that it sent Sachiel propelling towards him. Godzilla rushed over and delivered an earthshaking clothesline that caught the Angel square in the "face". He then spun around and tail whipped it, while in was still in midair, into a city block.
That did it. Sachiel was 110% done with this shit. He roared furiously and then balled his hands into fists. Three purple colored blades of light suddenly jutted from his knuckles and he threateningly slashed the air in front of Godzilla as a gesture of intimidation.
Godzilla however, was not the type to be intimidated that easily. He snarled in defiance at the Angel and charged it.
NERV-CENTRAL DOGMA COMMAND CENTER
It was utter pandemonium in Central Dogma. Technicians were darting about left and right trying to maintain order as most of them was distracted by the epic pissing match they were all witnessing. Those that weren't distracted were frantically trying to get scans and information from the newly transformed Angel and the giant dinosaur.
Gendo was so stunned by what he was seeing that Kozo had to step in to take command. "ABORT THE MISSION! I REPEAT, ABORT THE MISSION! CONTACT THE JSSDF AND GET THE ARMAMNET BUILDINGS ONLINE NOW!" He bellowed.
Ritsuko and Maya were attempting to get Unit-01 back online but to no avail.
"What's the status of the Eva!?" Ritsuko demanded.
"The frontal armor and the chest have been heavily compromised! The extent of the damage is critical!" Maya reported. "Not only that, but the synchrograph is reversing! The pulses are flowing backwards!"
"Break the circuit! Block it!"
"We can't! The control nerves are disconnecting one after the other and it's rejecting the signal! It won't take it! Unit-01 has completely shut down!"
Ritsuko was about issue another order to her but then her eye caught something on the main screen. The dinosaur was still battling the Angel but it was covered in deep cuts that it most likely received from its energy blades. But what really got her attention was that the wounds were slowly but surely healing until they weren't even there.
'Impossible…' She thought. 'This thing has the same regenerative abilities as the Angel!?'
Meanwhile, Misato and Hyuga were desperately trying to find Shinji.
"Can you get a lock on his entry plug?"
"Yeah, we should have a visual it just few seconds…there!"
A screen popped up on Hyuga's console showing Unit-01's entry plug precariously lodged into the 5th floor of an apartment building. Misato was stricken with immediate concern for Shinji's wellbeing.
"What are his vitals?"
"Unresponsive! The entry plug is too damaged to get a proper reading!"
Sheer terror gripped Misato's heart. 'What have we done!? Please be okay, Shinji!'
TOKYO-3
Shinji's eyes fluttered open. Everything was blurry at first, but then it soon became clear. He was still inside his entry plug…with a large puddle of blood near him.
"Is that…my blood?"
He noticed his reflection in the brass colored interior of the plug saw that there was a gash in the upper right corner of his head and his whole face was covered in blood.
"Yeah…that is…a lot of my blood."
He struggled to get up but his legs were like wet noodles. He could hear the sounds of rumbling and roaring outside his entry plug. That's when he remembered what knocked him out and it became clear to him that the dinosaur and the Angel were fighting each other. The battle sounded really close and that meant Shinji was in very real danger. He had to get out of Tokyo-3 while he still could.
He managed to get the strength in his legs back and wobbled over to the entry plug hatch which was slightly ajar. He got it open and poked his head out…just in time to see the Angel deliver flying dropkick to the dinosaur, sending it straight into a nearby building. The whole building shook from the force and then there was a loud CRACK!
Shinji whirled his head around to see that some parts of the building that the plug was lodged into started to give way! If he didn't move his ass now, he would be sent plummeting into the flooded street below and chances were he would not survive the fall. He scrambled out of the plug and ran along its length straight towards the hole it made. He quickly jumped into the hole just before the plug fell into the streets below.
Luckily for Shinji he landed on a bed and realized that he was in another person's apartment. He turned towards the hole and saw the Angel walking towards the cloud of dust where the dinosaur had landed. Suddenly, the dinosaur's foot shot out of the cloud, kicking the Angel straight in the mouth and knocking out several of its teeth. It then rushed over, got behind it, and wrapped its arms around it. Shinji's eyes bugged out of his head as he witnessed the dinosaur suplex the Angel.
As much as Shinji wanted to sit and watch, he needed to get out of here while he still could. He ran out of the bedroom, into the living room and flung the front door open where he proceeded to sprint down the hall. But before he could reach the stairwell, Shinji heard something and stopped in his tracks. It sounded like crying.
He quickly walked down the hallway and the crying became louder. It sounded like a little girl! There was a frightened little child trapped somewhere and Shinji knew he couldn't just abandon her here. He ran towards the sounds of crying until he finally sound the source: they were coming from a door on the left hand side which had the apartment number and the words "Suzuhara" imprinted on it.
He opened the door and went inside where he could hear the girl's sobbing upstairs. He ran up the stairs and saw a door on the right hand side adorned with flowers. That's where the crying was coming from.
"Hello? Is there anyone in there?"
"Help! Please help me!"
Shinji tried to open the door but something was blocking it from the other side. He peeked through a crack in the door to see that a bookcase had fallen in front of it. Shinji pushed the door several times and then shoulder rammed it open. He turned to his right to see a 5 year old girl with chestnut colored hair pinned under a dresser. The girl looked up to see a man roughly the same age as her brother wearing a strange looking costume…and covered in blood.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!"
"It's okay! I'm here to help you! Try to calm down!"
"But-but-but-but you're all bloody!"
Shinji noticed his reflection in the girls mirror and saw that she was right. If anything, he looked like deranged serial killer. He wiped most of the blood off his face with his sleeve.
"Sorry about that. I kinda got hurt on the way here."
He ran over to take a good look at her. He leg was tightly pinned under the dresser. He moved over to the front and got a good grip on it.
"Okay, on the count of 3, I'm going to lift this up and I need you to crawl out of there as fast as you can. Can you do that for me?"
"Y-yeah."
"Okay. 1…2…3!"
Shinji lifted up the dresser and as soon as the girl scrambled out from under there, he set down the dresser and knelt down to see if she was okay. She had a cut on her leg that it wasn't anything serious, but he still had to bandage it up.
"Do you know where your family keeps the band aids or any medicine?" he asked. He knew that band aids wouldn't help but since this girl was so young, she probably wouldn't know what a medical kit was.
"I think my daddy keeps them in the closet. It's downstairs!" she answered.
"Stay here, I'll be right back!"
Shinji raced down the stairs and frantically looked for any closet he could find. After searching 2 different closets, he found what he was looking for in the kitchen area. It contained a hefty looking first aid box that contained just what he needed: gauze and Neosporin. He gathered what he need but before he went upstairs, he quickly went over to the sink and washed the blood off his face. He wrapped some gauze around his head to cover up the gash and headed back upstairs.
Another rumble nearly knocked him off his feet, followed by a load roar. He had to hurry and get that kid far away from here, fast. He ran back into her room, knelt down to her leg and got out the Neosporin. "Okay, I'm going to have to spray this on your cut. It will sting a little, but this way it won't get infected."
The girl nervously nodded.
Shinji sprayed the wound and almost immediately, the little girl winced and tears began to well up in her eyes. "I know. I know it hurts but it's for the best, trust me. Besides, you have to be a strong, brave girl for your family right?" he assured her. This seemed to have calmed the girl down. She wiped away the tears and nodded with a look of bravery and determination on her face.
"That's good girl." Shinji said as he began wrapping gauze around her leg. "Do you have a name?" He asked
"Sakura Suzuhara." She replied.
"My name's Shinji Ikari. It's a pleasure to meet you Sakura." He said, holding out his hand. The girl shook with hand, a smile briefly appearing on her face. After the gauze had been tightly wrapped around her leg, it was high time for the both of them to leave while they still could. Since she was injured she certainly couldn't walk so the best course of action was to carry her out of there piggyback style.
"Get up on my back. I'll carry you out of here." Shinji as he turned his back to her.
"Wait! We can't leave without Kloey!" Sakura pleaded.
"Who?"
Sakura pointed over to a stuffed animal near her knocked over bookcase. Upon closer inspection, it was a plushy version of the video game character Klonoa. 'Huh.I didn't know this character was still popular.' Shinji pondered. He gave the plushy to Sakura and she got on his back. She wrapped her arms around Shinji's neck while he reached around and held her legs.
Once he had a good grip he quickly ran out of the apartment and back to the stairwell. As Shinji was racing down the stairs, this was probably be a good time to ask Sakura a very good question.
"So why did you go back to your apartment when you should've been in the shelters with your family?" He inquired.
"I couldn't leave Kloey here. He helps me sleep at night." She said innocently.
'Hopefully your parents won't be too mad at you.' Shinji thought. "Well you don't have to worry; I'll make sure you and Kloey get to the shelters safe and sound. You wouldn't happen to know exactly where they are, do you?"
"Um…."
SKRRAAAAAASSSSHHHHH
The whole building shook as they looked out the stairway window to see a scaly monster fall into a building. Then it proceeded to get up, roar furiously and charge out of view.
"DINOSAUR!" Sakura shrieked.
"Don't worry! It's on our side…I think." Shinji said as he ran down the steps.
NERV-CENTRAL DOGMA COMMAND CENTER
Things were rapidly spiraling out of control. NERV was only prepared to deal with an Angel, not one that was capable of transforming into a bigger and more dangerous one. Not only that, but they were completely unprepared to deal with a massive, reptilian monster.
"Why haven't the armament buildings activated yet!?" Fuyutsuki demanded.
"All of our systems are being completely fried! We can't get any of the buildings to work and our communications are down! We're unable to contact the JSSDF!" Shigeru reported.
"What!? Why!?" Fuyutsuki yelled as he tried to make sense of the already deteriorating situation.
"It's the dinosaur! It's emanating some kind of radioactive field that jamming most of our equipment! The readings indicate that it extends to 15 city blocks. That's practically half of Tokyo-3!" Shigeru explained fearfully.
The sub-commander's eyes widen in confusion as he turned towards the main screen. It still showed the Fight between the Angel and the dinosaur. The Angel currently had it in a headlock and prepared to stab it with its wrist blades but the dinosaur managed to flip the Angel over its shoulder and when it was on the ground, began violently stomping on its "face".
'Unbelievable…could this creature be some kind of mutant spawned from the fallout of the Impact Wars?' Fuyutsuki pondered.
"I found the 3rd Child!" Hyuga suddenly called out. Misato and Ritsuko instantly rushed over to his console and he keyed up video camera footage of Shinji Ikari exiting the apartment his Entry Plug crashed into and carrying an injured little girl on his back.
"A civilian!?" Ritsuko exclaimed. "What on earth is she doing outside of the shelters!?"
Misato was mostly focused on the bandage wrapped around Shinji's head and the blood that was seeping through. A ball of ice formed in her gut. 'Oh sweet Jesus. I can't believe we put him through this! Are we even worth protecting if we have to make children to fight for us!?' Misato thought hysterically.
TOKYO-3
Godzilla and Sachiel violently traded blows with one another as they continued their long winded battle. The Angel managed to inflict grievous injuries on Godzilla due to his energy blades but Godzilla's wounds would eventually heal over time and he had already broken off some of Sachiel's protective plates.
He tackled the Angel into a tall building and tightly gripped its arms. Godzilla planted his foot on the Angel's chest and began to pull tightly, intent on ripping its arms off. Suddenly, a bright light began to emanate from Sachiel's toothy maw. Before Godzilla could react, a beam of explosive energy (the same one Sachiel used to attack Tokyo-3) shot out of the Angel's mouth and hit him dead center in the chest.
The saurian staggered backwards, his chest burning in pain. Sachiel got up and began firing multiple beams at Godzilla. Each blast peppered Godzilla all over his body until he lost his footing and collapsed. Once the creature was down, the Angel spotted a skyscraper next to where it landed. He ran over to it and with a mighty heave, collapsed the entire building on top of Godzilla.
But Sachiel wasn't done yet. He fired even more explosive energy beams at its prone form all while viscously hacking away at it with his energy claws. After a while, Sachiel stopped and stepped backwards. The creature didn't move and inch. He had won. Shinji and Sakura, who were several blocks away from the Angel, looked on in shock and despair as it became clearly apparent that the giant dinosaur had lost.
Shinji gulped. If the Evangelion or the dinosaur were unable to beat this thing, then the human race was monumentally screwed!
The Angel began to sense something and instantly turned around the to two humans that were standing a few meters away from him, unknowingly scaring the living daylights out them. When he sensed them, he realized something. While he was fighting the purple construct, he could sense a small presence within it. That small presence belonged to one of the humans he was "looking" at.
That meant that the construct he was fighting was being controlled by a human! His anger flared up. These one lifespan, weak willed, five sense, unintelligent skin puppets dare lay a hand on him!?
"SHHHHRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG!"
Sachiel lumbered towards the two humans, intent on smashing them into paste!
Shinji ran as fast as his legs could carry him while Sakura clutched on to him, screaming hysterically. The Angel was gaining on them and Shinji tried to run faster, but a combination of blood loss and the flooded streets slowed him down. His vision started to get burry and his movements became sluggish. He tripped over a piece of debris from the buildings and fell face first into the red stained water.
Sakura fell off and desperately tried to get him back up as the Angel advanced upon them. Shinji lurched out of the water to be greeted with Sakura's frantic, tear soaked face.
"WE HAVE TO RUN! HURRY!" She screamed as she pulled on his arm. Shinji stumbled along as Sakura dragged him to his feet-
KROOOOOOM
A massive fist slammed in front of the pair, blocking their only path to escape. They looked up to see the terrifying form of the Angel looming over them. It growled threateningly as Sakura clutched onto Shinji in fear. Shinji looked at the Angel and knew what was going to happen. This was it.
He was going to die.
There was so much he still wanted to do in the future and he would never image dying so young. A part of him wished he ignored that letter his father sent him and stayed in his town. But if he did ignore that letter then everyone in Tokyo-3 would die. Even Misato, whom he had grown to like, would perish as well. Another part of him felt frustrated. He gave it his all fighting the Angel and saved the life of a young girl only for all of it to be for naught.
But…at least he tried. He succeeded in standing up to his father, put his Muay Thai to good use, and rescued a little girl. At least he managed to do some good before his death. He thought of his uncle and aunt, his grandmother and grandfather and his friends. He had so many wonderful memories of them. They gave him a better life after being stuck with his asshole tutor for weeks; they had all given him a second chance at having a normal life.
'Everyone…thank you for everything.' He thought as the Angel began to slowly raise its fist. He knelt down and held Sakura tightly. "Sweetie? Listen. Close your eyes. It will be over soon but I'll stay with you till the end." He said, his voice laden with sadness.
Sakura was a smart girl for her age. She knew what was going to happen. How would her brother react to her death? She was going to miss him so much. Sakura embraced Shinji tightly and shut her eyes as tears began to leak from them. 'Goodbye Touji.'
NERV-CENTRAL DOGMA COMMAND CENTER
Everyone in Central Dogma was treated to the heart wrenching sight of the 3rd child and the young civilian embrace each other as they accepted the inevitable. Many of the technicians were either tearing up or had to look away from the main screen. The mission had ended in failure and now they were going to pay for it by being forced to watch two children die.
Shigeru and Hyuga turned away. They couldn't watch. No child should ever have to die like this. Fate was just too cruel.
Tears were flowing down Maya's face as she clasped her hands together and silently chanted a prayer for Shinji and the girl.
Ritsuko watched the main screen and tightly gripped her left arm. 'We're all going to hell for this.'
Fuyutsuki looked down and scrunched his eyes shut as hard as he could. He was given another reason to loathe himself. 'Yui…forgive me. Forgive all of us.'
Gendo remained stoic and unflinching.
Misato's face was saturated in tears as she watched the scene unfold. What the hell were the Evas or their advanced technology good for if they couldn't save two innocent lives? The boy who had earned a place in her heart in the span of just a few hours was going to die and she was getting a front row seat.
"SHINJI! NO!" She screamed.
TOKYO-3
Sachiel raised his fist high in the air, poised to strike down the two insolent humans. He swung his fist downward-
VVVVVVWWWWUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
A loud, dull hum echoed throughout Tokyo-3.
The Angel's fist stopped mere centimeters above Shinji and Sakura's heads. The two looked up and gasped at how close its fist was. But before they could take advantage of this and run, Tokyo- 3 was suddenly bathed in a glowing, light blue, illuminous light.
Sachiel and the two humans turned towards the source of the light.
It was coming from the area where the dinosaur had been defeated.
NERV-CENTRAL DOGMA COMMAND CENTER
Everyone was stunned when they saw the Angel stop its fist just above the children's heads. But they were instantly snapped out of their stupor when they heard a dull humming sound and saw the blue light emanate from Tokyo-3. That's when emergency klaxons began blaring throughout the command center and numerous radiation symbols appeared on the main screen.
"We're reading high nuclear energy levels at block C-67!" Maya shouted out. Ritsuko went over to her console and gasped.
"My god…the readings are completely off the charts!" Ritsuko exclaimed.
TOKYO-3
Shinji and Sakura continued to watch the blue glow until they saw something rise out of the rubble. It was the dinosaur!
However, the one thing that caught their eyes was its dorsal spines were glowing. From its head to its tail, its spines were shining a radiant blue and its eyes were a milky white. The humming sound continued to get louder and faster.
VWWWUUUUUUMMMMMMMM VWWWUUUUUUUMMMMMM VWUUUUUUMMMMMMM
Wisps of light blue flames began to seep out of the beast's mouth as its dorsal spines shined brighter. Aggravated that the creature wasn't dead yet, Sachiel snarled and rushed towards it. This time he was going to make sure it stayed dead. Oh how horribly wrong he was.
Godzilla sucked in his breath and-
KRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM
In that instant, a massive beam of blue, flaming, atomic energy erupted from Godzilla's mouth and collided into the Angel with so much force that it sent it sailing through several buildings!
Shinji, Sakura and everyone in Central Dogma were completely blown away by what they saw. The dinosaur continued its assault as he fired another jet of atomic fire at the Angel. It flailed and squealed in horrible agony as the flames cooked its exposed skin. Its armored hide did nothing to protect it as another blast of fire melted the plates like they were made of cheap plastic.
Sachiel's flesh was completely burned to a crisp. He didn't understand. Where did this creature come from how did it get so much power!? Sachiel's thoughts were interrupted when he heard the monster charging up another attack. Before he could get himself up and dodge, it fired another beam at him. He attempted to shield himself with his left hand but the strength of the beam was so powerful it instantly incinerated his arm.
With his prey down and missing an arm, Godzilla lurched forward and sauntered over to the Angel. Shinji managed snap out of his stupor and realize that this was the perfect opportunity to escape. He swept up Sakura in a bridal carry and slogged his way through the flooded streets while the dinosaur advanced upon the fallen Angel in the background.
CRRRRRRRNNNNNCCCHHHHHH
Shinji swiveled his head upwards to see a section of an apartment building which was heavily damaged break off and fall right towards them!
Time seemed to slow down for him. It wasn't fair! They were so close to escaping! Shinji shut his eyes and tighten his grip on Sakura, preparing for another inevitable encounter with death…but it never came. Shinji opened one eye to see that he and Sakura were still amongst the living.
"Giant robot!" Sakura shouted in awe as she pointed upwards. Shinji looked up to see a giant purple hand had caught the debris. The hand moved away to reveal their savior: Unit-01!
NERV-CENTRAL DOGMA COMMAND CENTER
Everyone was surprised when the Evangelion spontaneously activated by itself and saved the duo from certain death.
"Unit-01 has come back on line!" Hyuga reported.
"But that's impossible! It doesn't even have an Entry Plug! It shouldn't even be able to move!" Ritsuko exclaimed.
Misato was dumbstruck as well. 'It reacted without any interface!? Wait...' She thought as her gaze shifted over to Shinji and the girl on the main screen.
'It was protecting them!' She inwardly concluded.
TOKYO-3
Unit-01 tossed the debris over its shoulder, sending pieces of it smashing into a building. Shinji was amazed at how Unit-01 was moving on its own but he was more focused on the damage that had been inflicted on it. The entire chest area was heavily dented, its iconic horn had been broken off and other parts of its armor were broken or caved in. It was a miracle that it was standing on its own.
Unit-01's glowing eyes suddenly faded away, fell to one knee and slumped backwards like a puppet with its strings cut.
FOOOM
"Did the robot run out of batteries?" Sakura asked innocently.
"I think so…" Shinji said uncertainly. He then noticed that there was a large cable coming from its back. Now that Shinji thought about it, he did feel something on his back as he fought and he also felt like he was dragging something behind him.
"GGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKKKK"
Shinji and Sakura turned to their right and saw the dinosaur grappling with the Angel. The monster was gripping the Angel's mouth, forcing it wide open. The Angel attempted to stab it with its remaining energy claw but the dinosaur dodged the blow, clamped its jaws down on its wrist and viciously tore it straight off.
The Angel screeched as blue colored blood began spurting out from its severed stump like a garden hose. Godzilla wrenched its moth open and saw a red glow coming from deep within its throat. He found its weak point.
Godzilla began to charge up more energy, this time it would finish his opponent for good. The Angel sensed what was coming and tried to get itself free from the creature's grasp but it was too strong and the fight had exhausted it.
Sachiel's only hope was to fire another energy blast at it and hopefully catch it off guard…
But it was too late.
KRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM
Godzilla fired a supercharged atomic breath straight down the Angel's throat! Its insides were burned into oblivion and the S2 engine within it boiled under the immense heat until it finally exploded. The Angel began to glow a vibrant blue and cracks appeared all over its body until it finally combusted into a massive, azure fireball.
Sachiel stopped moving.
The 3rd Angel was dead.
Godzilla shoved the burning remains away from him. He stood over the corpse as it slowly began to disintegrate from the nuclear fire that consumed it. He was victorious!
"SSSSSSKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!"
Tokyo-3 and the other cities near it shook as the creature roared in triumph. Shinji and Sakura had to cover their ears because it was so damn loud. After the roaring had stopped, Shinji stared in complete wonder at the dinosaur. He felt like he should be scared of it before but there was an air of magnificence to it. Sakura's face lit up like it was Christmas morning.
"It did it! The dinosaur saved us!" She squealed joyfully.
Shinji felt himself smile as well. "Yeah, it…really….did…it….." He slurred. His world blurred around him as he finally collapsed on the sidewalk with Sakura still in his arms.
"Shinji? Shinji! Are you okay!?" Sakura asked as she tried to shake him awake. But the bruised and battered 14 year old was out like a light, the events of today and the loss of blood finally taking its toll on his body and evaporating all of the adrenaline he was running on.
With his job done, Godzilla proceeded to trudge his way over to the lake. While he had succeeded in destroying one of the abominations he knew that this was not over. Not by a longshot. There would be more of them…each one stronger than the last and they would most likely push him to his limits.
But he would not falter. His mind drifted back to when he failed to prevent The Great Cataclysm in that frozen wasteland. He would not fail again. Not now.
Not ever.
NERV-CENTRAL DOGMA COMMAND CENTER
Everyone had witnessed the impossible. They had been told that only an Evangelion could effectively combat and destroy an Angel. However, it was not an Eva that did the job. It was a living, breathing dinosaur from some bygone era.
Some of the younger technicians had been dinosaur fans in their youth and one could only imagine their surprise and utter bewilderment when they saw one in the flesh. Its ferocity was terrifying yet its movements were nothing short of astounding.
Misato, Ritsuko, Fuyutsuki and the Bridge Bunnies watched it saunter into the lake in stunned silence. It was completely unbelievable that something like it could actually exist in this day and age. It was simply magnificent to look at.
But if there was one person who didn't share their feelings of amazement, it was Gendo. The man was absolutely livid. This was not supposed to happen. Unit-01 was supposed to go berserk and slay the Angel; not this…thing. The scenario was now in jeopardy and the Old Men would be crawling up his ass demanding answers.
Answers he didn't have.
NEW MEXICO-LAS CRUCES
Within an undisclosed secret lab, a lone man rewound the news footage of the monster attack in Japan. He smiled; knowing that there was no way that petty little agency could cover up something like this. Apparently there had been a footage leak and the whole fight was broadcasted around the world. Soon the UN would be hounding NERV for a damn good explanation about this.
But his main focus on the saurian. There was something about it that intrigued him to no end.
"Such grace coupled with brutality. Violent, wild, feral and remarkably intelligent…dios mio, what is this sublime creature?"
PLUTO-DARK SIDE OF THE PLANET'S SURAFCE
A shadowy figure watched the recording of the two monsters battling one another. He observed the reptilian with great curiosity as it vaporized his opponent inside out. A horrific grin stretched across his fleshy, pink face.
"Interesting..." The figure gurgled maliciously as he rubbed his slimy tentacles together. "Very, very interesting!"
NERV GERMANY-NEW BERLIN
Within the German branch's situation room, numerous officials and other NERV employees had watched the entire battle unfold. Many of them tried to make sense out of the absurdity of the situation. But they all had to accept the bizarre truth: a dinosaur had destroyed the Angel. After it had won, the whole room became a flurry of activity with everyone asking each other what was going on, orders to contact NERV Japan and gawking at how incredible the fight was.
In the very back of the situation room, two individuals had seen the fight and were still silent as they watched the creature dive into the lake. Those individuals were Asuka Langley Soryu, designated The 2nd Child and pilot of Unit-02 and Ryoji Kaji, Asuka's guardian and a UN spy.
Asuka had seen the footage of Unit-01 facing off against the Angel and was mildly impressed by how it fought. She actually looked forward to meeting whoever was piloting it. But then she got the shock of her life when she saw a massive dinosaur emerge from the lake and the Angel transform into gigantic proportions. After the dinosaur won, she was left completely stunned by what she had witnessed.
"Gott im Himmel…" The German/Japanese redhead whispered.
Kaji had seen a lot of things in his life. Things that intrigued him and things that disturbed him. The last thing he expected to see was the giant monster edition of WWE. The unkempt man's once calm and collected personality was broken when he saw the fight. His mouth hung open in shock and his sleepy eyes were now completely wide open.
'My superiors are going to have a field day when they hear about this.' He thought.
NERV ALASKA-BETHANY BASE
Every technician and superior officer present in the command center stared at the screen completely gob smacked. Many of them were starting to question if what they saw was actually NERV Japan screwing with them by showing fake footage. But it was real. It was oh so frighteningly real.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" The silence was broken when they heard a loud squeal echo thought the command center. Everyone whirled their heads around to see a bespectacled, long haired girl with dark brown hair and wearing a prototype plug suit jumping up and down like a hyperactive rabbit. Mari Illustrious Makinami, a yet to be designated Eva pilot, was in the simulation room when she heard reports of an unknown creature appearing in Tokyo-3 over the communications line in her simulation Eva. Naturally she had to go see for herself and she came into the control room just in time to see a dinosaur uppercut a horribly mutated Angel.
Since then her eyes were glued to the main screen and her hung open mouth was slowly turning into a huge smile. When the battle was over, all of the pent up excitement she was building up exploded out of her like a crate full of TNT.
"THAT WAS SO F***ING BADASS! DID YOU ALL SEE THAT?! HOLY F***ING SHIT THAT WAS TOTALLY WICKED!" She shrilled as she danced around where she stood.
Everyone sweatdropped.
TOKYO-3 OUTSKIRTS-EASTERN HILLSIDE
On a hill located just near the woods of Tokyo-3, a lone figure stood silently. Her shoulder length black hair swayed in the wind. Mayumi Yamagishi pushed up her glasses and carefully surveyed the destroyed city, a look of uncertainty and worry on her face. She looked down to her left at two diminutive women, who could literally fit in the palm of your hand, standing on a rock. They looked completely identical from each other and wore tribal clothing. The three silently regarded the devastation before them.
"So this is it…isn't it?" She asked, finally breaking the silence.
"Yes." The twins said in unison. "The battle for the survival of this planet has begun."
They then turned towards Mayumi. "Are you prepared for the role you will have to eventually play?"
Mayumi looked at her hand and let out a heavy sight. "It's not like I ever had a choice, did I?"
TOKYO-3 OUTSKIRTS-SOUTHERN OVERLOOK
The very air around the area started to shimmer. Then, a figure seemingly materialized into view. The shapely form of a woman dressed in grey, armored combat fatigues took off her visor which deactivated her thermal camouflage. It really came in handy for sneaking around and it rendered her completely invisible as an added bonus.
The woman was in her mid 20's with light purple hair and steely brown eyes. She took several steps towards an overlook which gave her a good view of Tokyo-3. It was a total mess. It would probably take weeks for it to rebuild.
The virus her organization uploaded had done its job very well. The footage of the battle was uploaded to every news station and every agency in the world. Luckily for them, the virus was so advanced that it was not only untraceable, it was 100% unnoticeable.
She activated her compact tactical headset to contact headquarters. She needed to give a status update now.
"HQ, this is Major Kusanagi reporting in."
"Major, this is Commander Aramaki. We read you loud and clear. What are your findings?"
"Dr. Serizawa was right sir…he's back."
"Mother of god…."
To be continued...
That's right folks; your eyes do not deceive you: Section 9 from Ghost in the Shell are in this story. Why did I add them in? Well, I felt like the cast needed the best of the best helping them out and I figured that Section 9 would be perfect for the job! One huge difference is that all of the members will be fully human. Only Batou, Saito, and Borma will keep their cyber eyes. Appearance and personality wise, they are all based on their Stand Alone Complex counterparts. The Arise ones are awful.
I bet you guys certainly weren't expecting the Angel to transform huh? While planning out this chapter, a thought came to my head: if the Evangelions can go berserk, why not the Angels? Because of this, all of the Angels will have berserker forms when they go up against Godzilla or any of the other Kaiju.
I did say that this fanfic would have elements of Rebuild, manga and games in it so it's no surprise that Mayumi is in this story. I have very big plans for her! You can also expect Mana Kirishima to appear sometime in the later chapters. As for the hidden characters in New Mexico and on Pluto, Im keeping their identities a secret…
One other thing I should mention is that while Im aware that the Bethany Base was located in the remains of the North Pole, I previously thought it was in Alaska. However by the time I realized my mistake in the first chapter, I had already deleted the document so I changed it to Alaska.
Also, Shinji is quite the little hero isn't he? Touji owes him big time!
Don't forget to review but please don't flame!
