Koros45 doesn't own Getter Robo, Mazinkaiser, or Neon Genesis Evangelion
Stage 21: [Enemy Castle – Tekijou]
The United Nations space base NISAR's explosion was on radar and could be seen from the ground. The Photon Labs were scrambling to process the information.
"What the hell just happened?! Dr. Hell doesn't have weapons that can reach that far, and Shin Dragon's still far from Tokyo!" Yumi said with frustration.
Go narrowed his eyes. "No. That explosion was not caused by Getter Rays. Rather – that was a Demon weapon."
"Demon? Like the Hundred Demon Empire?!" Boss asked.
"Yes. But Getter Dragon wiped them out long ago. I don't think they could have survived the same way the Dinosaur Empire did by hiding underground. That ship was supposed to be derelict – but it seems the Dinosaurs were able to salvage it." Hayato clarified.
"Well either way – Great Mazinger! Is it alright?!" Kouji yelled out.
"We don't know. But we can't depend on it now. And as much as I'd like to mourn those lost from that attack, we don't have time. Get ready to deploy in Mazinkaiser. The same for you, Sayaka. Boss." Professor Yumi said with a frown.
The team was silent for a moment when the television turned on by itself and the visage of a green-skinned lizard man appeared amidst the static. He had a false cybernetic left eye, the circular structure contrasting to his narrow right. The crimson lens of the prosthetic glowed in the light.
"Heh heh heh! Puny humans who have laid claim to our Earth! This is Emperor Gore of the Dinosaur Empire! Our orbital warship has destroyed your NISAR base and soon the rest of human kind will follow!" The voice ran out.
Benkei frowned and changed the channel, shocked when the same image displayed itself again and again.
"It's all around the Earth. He's managed to broadcast himself everywhere at once." Hayato said.
"Our Dinosaur Empire will begin its conquest starting in Japan!" The voice declared.
/
"It has truly begun. Even if Ikari did not plan this, we must act now."
"In the accordance of everything becoming one! It is time."
SEELE spoke as their plan began.
/
The various Mechasaurus monsters rose from the ground, a variety of dinosaur themed robots of various colors. The assorted army was truly that, organized as the horned triceratops and ankylosaurus mechas led the front, the bipedal tyrannosaurus mechas backing them up with heavy firepower from the shoulders, chest, and mouths of their machines. The city was quick to go up in flames from the impressive onslaught.
"Neo Getter - Launch!" Sho Tachibana screamed as Kei and Gai followed her lead. The three crafts merged as the blue Getter was formed at their union in the sky, overlooking the sudden invasion.
"Commander Jin, orders?" Sho asked as Neo Getter patrolled the skies.
"They're attacking NERV HQ. Assist them. We'll flank you with the Mazinger Army once they're ready." Hayato said.
Sho nodded as Neo Getter grabbed a rifle deployed from the Photon Labs.
"Then we'll hold them back with this! Missile Machinegun!" Sho yelled and began firing on the assorted dinosaurs.
/
"This is Hayato! It's time we enact our own plan!"
"What do you mean!?" Kouji said, shoving his white helmet on his head, his red, yellow, and black combat suit on.
"I mean it's time the Getter Team follow through on a previous conversation." Hayato said, gesturing as a man ran into the waiting room.
He was portly, wearing a cloak and a black hat, his hair a dark black and messy. The man grinned as a gleam was present in his eyes.
"Inspector Ankokuji." Hayato said to the man.
"Mr. Jin. I got what you wanted." The man said, giving Hayato a disk.
"Everything you need to know about Gendo Ikari is on there. Trust me, it wasn't easy getting this information with NERV so close and breathing down my neck. Even for a former policeman turned private investigator." The man said. "Now where's my pay!?"
"Is it the time for this right now?! We should prepare for battle!" Kouji yelled, running to the hanger and calling for Kaiser Pilder.
"Kid, if you only knew how much of a pain this was." Ankukoji said as Hayato took the CD.
"As promised. Here's your payment." Hayato said.
A Gamia Q android walked emotionlessly towards him, her hair in two long pigtails. She wore a large cloak covering her android body.
"I am Gamia Q3. I have been rebuilt and reprogrammed. Now I am in service to you now. My dear." Gamia said emotionlessly.
Ankokuji grinned and took her mechanical hand.
"YES! Now – where can we hide in here? Things are about to get rough and I want My Honey to be safe." The man said, making doe eyes to the android.
Hayato frowned. "Professors, can you show the Inspector to the basement? We're busy and on the clock."
The three professors who had presented Gamia nodded, leading the inspector and his robotic partner away from the main room.
"This will do it. Once this is all over, this information will be enough." Hayato said with a sharp grin.
"Can you finish up your damn science project and hurry!? We have to go - NOW!" Ryoma yelled as Hayato followed him, Benkei, and Go.
"If the Dinosaur Empire attacked NERV – and the NISAR base is destroyed – we're all they have as a last line of defense!" Ryoma said.
"That's right! The EVA kids are tough, but against the Dinosaur Empire, we'll need the power of the Getter Team to win!" Benkei added, the lot of them piling into the Beetle Craft and taking off as Go steered above the battlefield.
"Then let's go. I don't want those kids to die if I'm there to prevent it." Ryoma said with emphasis.
/
Dr. Hell laughed and laughed as his Hell King Gordon stood, the reinforced machine standing at the head of his flying Bardos Island as his location was announced to the world.
"Saotome! We now begin our joint attack!" The scientist declared as his legion of mechanical beasts all took off, heading for Japan's shores.
"We wipe out the Photon Power Labs and crush NERV along the way!" Dr. Hell commanded as Ashura and Brocken deployed in their personal machines.
"And what of us?" Ankoku Daishogun asked.
"You will foresee the world's state when we leave. If I cannot fulfill my dream as an Invader, you and your empire will rise to claim it as your own!" Dr. Hell said. "As we agreed, I will direct you to your foe." The blue skinned man said and the massive armored ogre nodded.
"Yes . . . I will destroy this Mazinkaiser in the name of Mycenae and then you shall reawaken my brethren!"
"As promised!" Dr. Hell said.
The ogre grinned as his own personal battleship rose and he stood on it's bow.
"Then I will succeed. And you humans will know true power." The General of Darkness said as he departed.
/
Asuka closed her eyes as she sat in the cockpit of Unit 02. Finally it was time to talk to Mama. To tell her everything she'd seen and done. To move by her own past.
Yet her mother did not hear. The crimson Evangelion was completely silent.
"Asuka! Unit 02 is ready! We can launch you first and Shinji will have to catch up!" Misato yelled.
"Something's wrong, Misato. I can't feel Unit 02! What's the matter?" Asuka wondered, gripping the control yolks and moving the EVA around.
"But it moves just fine. Even if that's all you've got for now it had better be enough. You'll be far safer there than in-"
Misato cut out of the audio feed as an explosion rocked the base.
"Gottenhimmel!" Asuka swore, the red EVA staggering to stay upright and get into the launch catapult.
"I guess that's my cue! Asuka Langly Soryu – Evangelion Unit 02, launch!" Asuka yelled as she rapidly ejected from the Geofront.
The girl landed the EVA and gasped as the army of Mechasaurus' was far greater than the group of two Shinji and Kaworu had faced earlier.
She and her EVA were not alone as a blue Getter faced the assembled dinosaurs.
"Chain Knuckle!" Auska heard as Neo Getter fired off it's fists -attached to long chains.
The fists incapacitated a Spinosaurus based Mechasaurus, the chains retracting the fists so the Getter could keep attacking. This time wrist cannons kept the advancing horde occupied.
"Getter! EVA Unit 02's here to assist!" Asuka yelled, kneeling by an open weapons rack, grabbing her own pair of Pallet Rifles and charging towards the battle.
"Gladly!" Gai's voice was heard. "The Mazinger Army is on it's way! We just have to hold out until then!"
Asuka took position beside the blue Getter and fired each rifle in short bursts, aiming at the eyes of the heavy quadruped Mechasaurus', the bullets blinding them and slowing the advance. Her AT field was also very useful as the creatures in the back had no luck breaking through it.
"You may all gang up on one Getter, but now you're screwed!" Asuka said, leaping back and letting Neo Getter advance.
The Getter landed in front of her and fire close range with its wrist cannons before boosting away and firing some missiles from back mounted pods.
The explosion engulfed the front line and Asuka grinned as she anticipated what would emerge.
"Just watch. I'll show you a sight you won't forget, Mama." Asuka thought.
/
"No way! Dr. Hell's attacking our Photon Labs too!? At a time like this?!" Kouji's voice could be heard. "Mazinkaiser can't be in two places at once - !" Kouji yelled.
"Kouji! That's not Dr. Hell! Those machines are alive! You stay at the Photon Labs and keep them safe! I'll give Emperor Gore something to worry about!" Sho yelled out as Neo Getter threw away the empty Missile Machine Gun and fired at the dinosaur armies' mechasaurus legion with it's wrist cannons.
"Fine, but if you need help-!" Kouji began.
"Sayaka and Boss are on their way. You stay at the Labs and be their invincible shield. You'll have time to arrive after the Labs are clear." Sho reasoned
The dinosaur army stood still as the unlucky ones were shredded to pieces from the Getter's attack. Then they stopped, the horde parting as a figure in the middle shoved the others away. A gigantic monster of dark blue- it was an almost exact mechanical replica of Emperor Gore himself.
"Getter Robo! Face me now! Face your death!" The emperor declared.
"Yes. We'll let you know if it's too much, Kabuto." Sho said. Kouji tisked at the situation.
"Mazinkaiser, we're staying here! We'll let the Getter and EVA teams do their jobs while we do ours'!" Kouji directed.
/
Asuka grimaced as the new presence began shoving his own subjects out of the way, wading through the carnage to walk towards the Getter at a steady rate.
"Fire again! Take this, Getter Missile!" Gai yelled, the rocket pack firing again.
Gore laughed as it's new opponent's weapons were ineffective and he walked through the flames, unscathed.
"You call that a Getter? Pathetic! I detect no cursed Getter Rays emitting from it." The king declared.
"We don't need Getter Rays! Not when we have this! Kei! Gai!" Sho yelled and pushed a lever.
Neo Getter slammed its hands together, blue lightning conducting between both palms as it charged up the attack. It was a blue lighting bolt, a shard of thunder that crackled in the Getter's hand as it hurled the bolt at it's foe.
"Plasma Thunder!" Sho yelled. The attack struck and Gore roared as he was shocked, the blast taking out a number of his surrounding force.
"Impressive. However feeble. My Mechasaurus body is sturdy! I will not fall to that!" The Emperor boasted as his body waded through the smoke, in no hurry to reach his foe.
"Then we'll use this! Getter Go's last resort – re-forged for Neo Getter to use!" Kei yelled and Sho pressed another lever.
"Getter - Tomahawk - Sword!'" She yelled as a sturdy and colossal blade formed, the handle of which was a sharp looking double sided axe.
"Shiesse!" Asuka exclaimed, impressed at the hidden final weapon the Getter pointed at Emperor Gore.
"This blade of refined Getter Alloy will end you!" Sho yelled as the blue Getter boosted upwards, bringing the blade down on Gore with a double handed slash.
Gore yelled in pain but did not budge as the attack struck, cleaving into the mechanical body and cutting deep – oil like blood dripping down the Mechasaurus' armor.
"Fools. My army is still advancing. Your human weapons and science will be crushed underclaw. The Dinosaur Empire – like myself – is invincible!" The Emperor claimed, gripping the blade with a claw and snapping it in half - before punching Neo Getter in the stomach.
The plasma powered Getter flew backwards, crashing into NERV's entrance. Gore tossed the shattered blade over his machine's shoulder as the Mechasaurus let out a screech.
The arms of Gore's machine warped and expanded, forming two gigantic maces where the hands would be.
"Now, time to receive our pent up wrath!" Gore exclaimed as his machine began taking steps forward.
/
"Section Two is a attacking us?! At a time like this?!" Misato yelled, shaking as the building was hit by an attack.
"That's not just Section Two!" Mikoto yelled into her speaker. "We're under attack from two fronts! We need both pilots!"
"Dammit! Where's Shinji!?" Misato yelled, staggering as an explosion rocked the base again.
"Asuka's already out in Unit 02! I'll retrieve Shinji!" Misato yelled, loading her gun as she prepared herself for combat.
Section Two wasted no time firing on her and Major Katsuragi withdrew, hearing the shots whiz by her. She took cover and fired back, stopping when she heard screaming. A larger force appeared behind section two, firing on them with abandon. The four men that had been shooting at her fell, and in there place, three larger, reptilian warriors stood, each pointing a machine gun at her.
Misato blinked and fired. If it wasn't one thing, it was another. She wouldn't let some extinct race get between her and her charge. The shot hit the first creature in the eyes and it screamed, falling to the floor, presumably dead. The armor piercing rounds had been a good idea, it turned out.
Two left. Misato shot one in the leg and withdrew to avoid more fire. Then she heard more of them moving behind the three that occupied her. She needed to move. Fast.
/
Shinji heard the base rock and yelled as he grabbed the nearby wall for support. Rei was gone. The sounds outside indicated attack and he made his way to the hall leading to Unit 01.
He realized too late that it was a mistake as a group of Saurians were there, engaging someone in a fire fight. Shinji slinked away but was not lucky enough to be unseen.
"Human! Die!" A green skinned monster roared, yellow eyes widening as it's black slits looked at Shinji with hate. It forgoes using a gun and grabbed Shinji by the neck, compressing with inhuman strength.
Shinji felt his windpipe constrict and gasped as the air left his throat.
Fight or flight. Ryoma would say. And Shinji already made his choice.
The dinosaur soldier was surprised as the boy's comparatively small hands found it's own throat and returned the gesture. It was not possible – yet the dinosaur felt his own windpipe shudder from the child's desperate strength. The boy grit his teeth and glared at the dinosaur. Flailing legs kicked at the saurian – yet it would not be enough to stop the glory of the Dinosaur Empire. But if that was true – why was the dinosaur feeling weak?
"FUCK DINOSAURS!"
Ryoma screamed as his fist connected to the green scaled face. The blow made the creature let go of the human it was holding. Ryoma increased the distance from it and Shinji with a kick to the saurian's chest. Then Ryoma's fist connected again and broke the creature's jaw as it flew across the room. The dinosaur soldier slammed into the wall with a thud and skidded off the wall, killed by Ryoma's raw strength.
Benkei and Hayato followed his lead, Hayato carving the dinosaurs to pieces with his hands as Benkei fired on them in tandem. The legion fell. Then another group of dinosaurs advanced.
"Get down!" A voice yelled.
The Getter Team was quick to do so as the spray of a machine gun hit the group of saurians, killing them all as the loud shots drowned out everything else.
Then the mysterious shooter tossed the empty gun aside. The four stood and beheld the newcomver.
They were met with Misato pointing her pistol at them – as she'd discarded the stolen weapon from the dinosaurs. Ryoma grinned. "Major Katsuragi! You're a sight for sore eyes!"
Then the group resumed poise as more Dinosaur Empire Soldiers ran into the room.
Shinji was terrified as gunfire was all around him. Misato fired upon two of the attackers and Shinji couldn't look as she shot one straight up in the head.
"Let's get to Unit 01! We'll have you deploy!" Misato yelled. It was a haze to Shinji, the boy's head still envisioning Kaworu's body clenched in Yui's – in Unit 01's – no, in his hand before the fist was clenched.
Was it worth it? Would getting in Unit 01 matter?
He'd be deployed to kill other people in addition to the Dinosaurs if Section Two was really attacking them. Not Angels. People like Kaworu. Or Toji.
Another gunshot and an attacker fell down. Misato spun around.
The man helped up Shinji amidst the chaos, patting him on the shoulder as Misato approached them.
"Shinji, are you alright? A kid like you shouldn't have to worry about these damn Dinosaurs." Ryoma said.
Shinji could only nod as Misato put her hand on his shoulder and replied to Ryoma.
"Mr. Nagare, we appreciate the assist, but right now I'm getting Shinji to Unit 01. We need all the firepower we can get. Thanks for making sure he's alright." Misato said and Ryoma nodded.
They advanced and neared the elevator to reach Unit 01. The EVA was in sight.
Then more gunfire struck the floor. Misato pulled Shinji back so he was between her and Ryoma.
"Hmph! We of the Dinosaur Empire won't allow you to operate this machine!" A voice cried out from the upper catwalk of the hangar.
Flanked by two Saurian troops, the man sported a green goatee and matching eyebrows. Instead of normal hair, he had a frill similar to two bat wings jutting out of his head. The humanoid wore a cape with some dark armor and a breastplate, and rather than a gun, he held a double edged sword in one hand.
"General Bat!?" Ryoma said in disbelief.
"Yes. I survived! And the Dinosaur Empire has returned to crush you all! But – without your Getter Rays, even your Getter Robo is powerless to stop us!" The Dinosaur Empire general said, looking down on them with a sneer.
A gunshot was fired and Bat looked annoyed as he parried the shot with his blade. Misato scowled as she reloaded her gun.
"Cowards! You won't even let us fight back fairly with our EVAs!" Misato yelled at him.
"Fair?! You speak of fairness when you humanoids have tainted this Earth! Your industries have poisoned the sea and the skies! Your reach to spread across the word has changed the natural order of things!"
"Don't listen to him. He's stalling." Hayato said.
"Still – how to we get to Unit 01?" Shinji asked.
Go smiled. "That's easy. I'll call Shin Getter."
"And cave in the whole place?!" Misato whispered. "Even if you used Getter 2, it would take too long. As it stands, we're outnumbered. The best we can do is hold out until help arrives."
"Which is why Shin Getter is a good idea." Go said before Ryoma sighed, walking out in front of them.
"That sounds like a – waste of time!" Ryoma said, rolling onto his back and sliding out from his cover, shooting at one of the Saurians. Misato covered him as his shot was avoided. She didn't miss as the first soldier fell. Hayato and Benkei pulled them back out of harm's way.
"We can't sit around! Gendo Ikari's going to do something crazy soon and we have to stop it!" Ryoma said.
The group heard more footsteps as General Bat's unit spread out, firing on them now from different directions. The best they could do was hide behind crates and stationary.
"Dammit! Now what?!" Benkei said with frustration.
/
One of the Saurians screamed as a silver sword cut it down, the assembled dinosaurs firing on the sudden attacker.
Misato and the Getter Team took the initiative to fan out, Ryoma and Hayato using their fists to take out nearby enemies while Benkei and Misato focused on the far away targets. Go stayed by Shinji and made sure he was as clear as possible.
"Who dares?!" General Bat yelled, brandishing his own weapon.
Shinji looked up and could see the new arrival. He wore a red combat suit and had a silver-white helmet that was similar to that of Mazinger Z's. He could only see the man from the back as he pointed the sword at General Bat.
"My name is Blade! And now I will defeat you, General Bat!" The mysterious man said as the two began a fierce duel.
General Bat fanned out his cloak and flapped his wings beneath, flying around the newcomer to attack from the sky. The man pivoted and blocked the attack and Shinji could see now that their ally wore a mask covering his entire face.
"Get the pilot to the EVA!" The man yelled.
"Mr. Kurama! Commander Jin! And Go too! We need to get Shinji there now!" Misato yelled and Shinji felt a big arm wrap around his waist and hoist him up.
"You and Go take point! I'll keep the kid safe!" Benkei's deep and spirited voice was heard. "Ryoma, you and Hayato better move!"
Asuka. Misato. And now Go and Benkei as well. They were all fighting. Shinji blinked.
More gunshots. Then Benkei set him down. They'd arrived at the hanger's entrance after going up the elevator.
"You're clear, kid! Get in your EVA and we'll make sure the base is clear! You can expect the Getter Team to back you all up!"
Shinji was confused. Asuka was alone among insurmountable odds, her EVA tuned to Kaworu's previous settings rather than her own. With her falling sync rate and long absence as a pilot, would she last this long? But maybe if Unit 01 and a Getter were there . . . Shinji thought and a spark of hope ignited in him.
"Mother. We need to move- we need to back up Asuka - " Shinji began to speak, but words failed him.
"Damn it, kid! We don't have time to talk to the EVA!" Benkei yelled and ran up to him, Misato on his other side.
Meanwhile the mysterious Blade swung at General Bat and the demonic looking Saurian tisked, leaping above him and flying away.
"Damn you, humans! But it doesn't matter! Our Dinosaur Empire will not be stopped by your Getter, nor your new machines!" The General said before sounding a retreat.
Blade nodded and walked away, vanishing as quickly as he'd appeared.
"Shinji, promise me you'll be back to return this." Misato said, pulling her pendant around his neck.
"Go out there and help Asuka. And come back." Major Katsuragi – no – Misato ordered.
"Kick ass, kid." Benkei said as Shinji neared Unit 01's form.
"Hayato and I will try and stop Gendo Ikari's plan! Unless you have any objections?" Ryoma proposed.
"Give him hell." Misato nodded and Ryoma grinned.
Suddenly his indecision was obliterated. Shinji touched the purple armor that almost resembled a snout and felt and heard it shudder as the Balkite around it began to chip and crack.
"Mother, wake up! We need to MOVE!" Shinji exclaimed.
Benkei smiled.
Green lines surged across his vision again as Yui Ikari's eyes flashed yellow and the entry plug sprang up.
Shinji Ikari got into the EVA, feeling a mix of uncertain and powerful as he sat in the cockpit.
"It's not moving!" Shinji said with a panic as he could not feel the soul of Yui Ikari from within the EVA.
Ryoma looked to Hayato. "We have to move. Shinji! You figure out what's wrong with Unit 01 and launch! Try giving it a kick if it's not working!"
Hayato smirked and slinked off and Ryoma decided to move as well. He took his leave and followed the tracker Shin Getter left in the control room described as Terminal Dogma. Ryoma kicked open an air shaft that would take him all the way down in a single jump.
"All right, Gendo Ikari! Here's where we make good on our word!" Ryoma yelled, jumping down the dark abyss of the shaft.
/
Kouji grit his teeth as Mazinkaiser melted an entire wave of Doctor Hell's airborne forces to ash with the Fire Blaster. Not good. Kaiser could wipe them out himself, but it was taking up most of the machine's residual energy. All he could do was be a wall while Sayaka and Boss went to assist NERV along with Getter Robo Go.
"Coward! You planned this! Face me like a man, Doctor Hell!" Kouji challenged as Rust Tornado struck another wing of the invading forces.
"I'm afraid I have other plans. But don't worry! I brought a new associate for you to meet!" Doctor Hell's voice said with a laugh from one of the many Mechanical Beasts attacking.
Photon Beam tore through most of the next wave and Kouji gasped as a demonic looking battleship fell from the skies. A black armored rider stood at the end, crossing his arms as he held a massive ebony sword resting in his palms.
The ogre had green skin and a head with two curved horns exiting from a black helmet. But the most startling feature of this new enemy was the face on its' chest. White bearded with yellow eyes and a keen gaze, the secondary face stared at Mazinkaiser with intensity.
Kouji had no time to react as the craft struck, slamming into Mazinkaiser's stomach and pushing the super robot far down into the earth.
/
Ankoku Daishogun frowned as his fortress Demonica stopped moving, having immobilized his foe.
"That was all?! Doctor Hell, if this was your greatest threat then perhaps you spoke lies." The ogre said, the wise face on it's chest speaking as it looked down at the crater it's ramming attack had created.
Then the ship began to move against his will and he raised an eyebrow.
"MAZIN – POWER!" A voice cried out as Demonica was shoved backwards, the black and silver super robot miraculously pushing the ship backwards as it stood and mounted its own attack.
"This Mazinkaiser can take more than that! Now, Fire Blaster! Combined with Rust Tornado!" Kouji cried out as both attacks enveloped the mobile fortress, heating it up and breaking it down, Demonica warping and melting into a scrapheap before his eyes.
The black armored figure riding on top of the ship had leapt off, landing away, it's weight making the ground shake.
"Flying Fortress Demonica, defeated in a few moves. Impressive." The armor clad warrior said as he righted himself and stood to his full height - taller than even Mazinkaiser.
"Who the hell are you!?" Kouji yelled.
"Kabuto Kouji. I am the Great General of Darkness – Ankoku Daishogun!" The warrior declared, unsheathing a long and black colored sword as it charged towards Mazinkaiser.
"I request a duel to the death!" The warrior screamed.
"Then I'll meet that challenge! Doctor Hell might have sent you to beat me, but against Mazinkaiser you're just rushing to your own death!" Kouji boasted.
He ran towards the general, Mazinkaiser's fists ready to strike down this new threat.
Then Kouji and Mazinkaiser went flying as the General's blade struck true. Kouji had the wind knocked out of him as Mazinkaiser slammed into the earth once again.
This time things were bad. The attack caused one of the Pilder's circuits to fly, a small chain of explosions frying a lot of the controls Kouji needed to fight back.
He was helpless as the General struck him again, knocking him down with a single blow. Mazinkaiser's energy was almost gone as well. Kouji grit his teeth as yet another blow hit.
/
"Doctor. Good to finally see you in the flesh." Doctor Hell said as the entirety of Bardos Island was finally consumed and assimilated into Shin Dragon's body.
He stood at the crown of his Hell King Gordon, smirking as the Invader form of Rei Ayanami stood beside him.
Ashura and Brocken knelt before his machine, each bowing before him.
"Doctor, the same to you." Saotome said and nodded. "I appreciate that you even cast aside your grudge at Kouji Kabuto for this meeting to happen."
Doctor Hell scoffed. "Do not think I believe this Ankoku Daishogun has a chance against Kabuto. The boy's tenacity will be his undoing." Hell finished.
"Then we are agreed." Cohen said. "We'll use Shin Dragon to distract the humans until our Rei merges with Lilith and begins The Project."
"Agreed." The blue haired invader said, nodding her head. "I will use Rei Ayanami's genetic code to hijack Lilith and begin. Then we'll just need to place Shinji Ikari into a frantic mental state. It should not be difficult given his fragile ego and demeanor."
Stinger chuckled. "Yes – yes! It will begin again! And humanity will collapse from within! Even with all their might, they will fall by Lilith's light! Then Shin Dragon can awake and the entire world shall quake"
"Then it will begin! Once we assimilate Shinji Ikari, we will control all! Even the Getter will bend a knee to our conquest!" Saotome said with a laugh.
Shin Dragon descended from the atmosphere to hover and Saotome grinned to Doctor Hell.
"Now Doctor Hell, relax and see the awesome destructive force of Shin Dragon!" Saotome cried out as a massive Getter Beam fired towards the city, close enough to cause collateral damage to NERV HQ.
The beam never hit as a massive AT field blocked the attack.
"You were saying?" Dr. Hell asked, raising an eyebrow.
"That means – Lilith's true vessel is in there now!? Rei, hurry! We need to hijack Lilith now before your counterpart does!" Saotome yelled as the false Getter sped up.
"Understood. I will not fail. I shall initiate the Shine Spark to penetrate their AT Field." The Invader said as her Getter Dragon Angel hybrid took off, flying in a zigzag pattern of green as it sped towards the Geofront.
The Invader sped up in her Angel body, the false Angel Getter aiming for NERV HQ. Amidst the attack by the Dinosaur Empire it was the perfect time. The Japanese Government's special forces had been worn thin from the surprise attack. And the Dinosaur Empire would have no adequate response to an attack by the Invaders.
A crimson flash flew by the hybrid but the Invader had little time to process it as she prepared the Shinespark at the right moment.
The Invader slammed the Angel Getter into the Geofront, the Shinespark penetrating the Original's AT Field and allowing her to access the base. Lilith. And then The Human Instrumentality Project.
The Invader grinned as she left the false body, the hybrid broken from the impact and imperfect Shine Spark. Without three pilots, even a hybrid life form was not able to control it completely, it seemed.
Still, it was no matter to her as she left the fallen Getter with a grin, not bothering to maintain Rei Ayanami's form yet as she slithered into one of the vents, following the cry of Lilith's body.
/
Neo Getter's chest was smashed in by the flail arm of Emperor Gore's machine, the Mechasaurus hurling it across the battlefield as it hit the ground. The Getter rolled before it was still, limbs bent in response to the attacks.
"That much difference in strength?! Ryoma Nagare is not piloting that machine, I see! Then you are truly weak! Without your Getter Rays, you are nothing!" Gore declared.
"Getter's not the only thing you should worry about!" A voice cried out as EVA Unit 02 fired on the Mechasaurus.
"Oh yes. The new machine weapon. Let us see what else humanity has to challenge me." Gore said, even as two missiles looped around, slamming into the ground and clearing out the remainder of his forces.
"And EVA Unit 02's got back-up!" Sayaka's voice cried out as Diana A and Boss Borot were on the scene.
"We'll clear out the regular grunts!" Boss suggested, pulling onto a Pteranodon Mechasaurus with his extendable arms and slamming it into a raptor themed machine, destroying them both.
"They won't get by us!" Sayaka said as Diana's chest missiles fired again, destroying a section of troops in a single blast, then her Photon Beam firing through the smoke to hit what wasn't destroyed.
"Then I'll deal with the leader!" Asuka said, tossing aside her weapons as they were useless against the Mechasaurus' armor plating.
She dashed towards Gore, going into a feint and ducking to avoid a hammer blow and rising with an uppercut, boosted by her AT field.
"Interesting! This machine is interesting!" Gore said as his Mechasaurus lowered its head and screeched, forcing Asuka to fall back to avoid the snapping jaws.
Gore swung at her and the AT field stopped the attack dead on.
"A barrier, eh? Well let's see what I can do about that!"
The abdomen of Gore's machine shifted, fang like parts folding upwards to reveal a beam port. It fired a purple crackling blast and the AT field acted again, blocking the weapon.
"Sorry, but my AT field is not beaten so easily!" Asuka said, leaping into the air and giving him Unit 02's best kick to the face.
"Futile!"
Her eyes widened as one of the mace hands shifted into a claw hand. He grabbed onto her ankle and spun, throwing her EVA into the hillside, onto some Section Two tanks and missile launchers.
"Damn Dinosaur." Asuka whispered and got up to resume the battle. Asuka picked up the tank and hurled it at Emperor Gore, the Mechasaurus body firing its' beam again in retaliation, ripping through the tank as the beam kept going. Asuka blocked it but felt dazed. Controlling the EVA manually was wearing her out.
Still – she was the best equipped for this. She charged at Gore and rammed a knee into the beam firing port, hearing a cracking noise as she kept going, applying a double hammer blow to each side of Gore's head.
"Lord Gore, let us deal with the human cattle!" A voice cried out as Unit 02 was grabbed from behind and slammed into the ground.
Another Mechasaurus had grabbed her, and she looked up to see it – a jellyfish themed creature with some kind of energy processor in the center of the head membrane.

She halted as she heard a scream and Boss Borot's head landed next to her fallen EVA. Diana A was next, the machine's arms landing beside Unit 02 as oil splattered on Unit 02's shins.
"Photonic robots?! And you didn't think of bringing a Mazinger along as well?! Humanity truly has degraded then." Gore stated as he slammed the armless torso of Diana onto the ground and stepped on its waist with a gigantic talon, shredding through the gokin armor and crushing it two. Asuka heard a muffled explosion and suddenly felt sick.
"Sayaka!" She yelled as anger rose in her. Sayaka and Boss. Nuke and Mucha. She hadn't known the latter two for long but she considered Sayaka a friend and Boss was an ally at least. And now they were all likely dead.
"Monster! I'll rip you in half!" Asuka warned, forgoing strategy to break free of the jellyfish like monster's grip and charge ahead at Emperor Gore's machine.
Her mental image of the EVA charging at Gore stopped when a torrent of lighting coursed through her machine. Asuka screamed as it affected the systems and herself through the synch ratio. She felt the EVA fall to its knees as Gore laughed.
"You have the spirit to fight back, human. But sadly, you lack the means." The Emperor said.
Then she felt his taloned foot slam into her back. The force of the blow jolted her and she grunted as she began to lose focus.
"Now fall like the rest! I won't settle for anything as half-baked as this! If Ryoma Nagare's Getter Team does not face me, this conquest of the Earth will not satisfy me." The gigantic talon fell a second time and Asuka was at her limit. Lighting conducted from the talon and Asuka's screams continued as she felt it directly.
Gore's laughter began to drown out as her vision swam and she felt numb. Even the possibility of dying stopped being scary as her body gave into the force and she lost consciousness.
