The best angry german red head arrives by boat,kensuke has a nerd-gasm over the UN's fleet and Toji is called 'the shame of the pilot corps' all in Chapter 8-UNDER WATER EXTRAVAGANZA(WITH REDHEADS!).
…
"The Mig-55 B transport helicopter,i never thought I would get to fly in one!"Shinji sighed as his friend continued on with his usual military nerdiness,Shinji had mostly gotten used to it by now and his friend had indeed attempted to become less vocal about his hobby so Shinji let this one slide,for now.
"It really is great having a friend like you Shinji!"Wait,had Kensuke forgotten he was here because he was a pilot? If he's having memory issues with just flying he will have a stroke when he sees the fleet.Shinji thought with a mental laugh.
"I thought you might have gotten bored with just simulations so I invited you all on a date."Toji was immediately the most excited about that while Shinji thought that it was simply an excuse to take them along so she wouldn't have to deal with the navy's usual bullshit alone.
As they approached the fleet proper Kensuke started having what could most accurately be described as a did agree however that the fleet was mighty impressive he could count at least 47 ships and there were likely many more underwater assets such as the Bismarck-class super submarine that had been borrowed from Germany.
As the Helicopter landed Kensuke started having an even bigger attack and started caressing multiple of the aircraft as if they were babies.
"So cool so cool SO AWESOME"Shinji rolled his eyes.
"Cut that out,we're not here to make love to the aircraft."His friend gave him a depressed look before sighing and following was surprisingly enough nowhere to be seen so Shinji did the noble thing of going to look for his friend and fellow pilot only to find him chasing his hat before it was stomped by someone,As Shinji took notice of who exactly stomped the hat his eyes widened,the second child.
"Hello Misato,how have you been"She said with an overly cheery tone and a barely noticeable looked at Toji once again,who looked like he was ready to explode. Don't do something stupid for the love of god she can break your arm 5 different ways with her shoe alone.
"I'm fine and my god you've grown."if by fine you mean bathed in enough radiation to kill an elephant just 1 week ago then yes your 'fine'.Shinji was both incredibly glad and surprised to find out she hadn't gotten any kind of cancer.
"I'm not just taller my figure's filled out nicely too."Shinji did agree that the second Child was incredibly beautiful,even more so in person then in the photographs he had received from the magi using his access codes.
"Well let me introduce you,this is Asuka langely Sohryu,the second child."'The second child was actually an in-correct title for her,technically speaking he was the second child while she was the third,however his training was to be kept a secret and as such he was given the title of third.
And then the wind in the super-carrier picked up and her dress moved to reveal her panties. white...nice and OW!
"Ow,what was that for?!"Toji cried out as Shinji rubbed his cheek on the spot the slap had landed.
"The viewing fee,quite a bargain don't you think." yes quite a bargain indeed...NO,THINK PURE THOUGHTS!However Shinji's mind kept going back to that one moment and he was pretty much sure he was going to get as red as a tomato.
"Well then here's you change!"Shinji's face went blank as his friends pulled his pants and accidentally his boxers as well.
SLAP!
"So who's the famous third chi-"But before she could even finish the question she was surprised by Shinji,who kicked Toji in back with all his strength.
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!"He continues to kick his downed friend as he begs for mercy. "YOUR THE SHAME OF THE PILOT CORPS!"His friend was fake-crying at this point as Shinji continued to berate him.
"Pilot corps..."Asuka's eyes suddenly widen. "Don't tell me he's the third" She looked at the downed Toji who was begging for mercy on the ground.
"Don't worry..its him."Misato points at Shinji who had just ordered Toji to run 50 laps across the ship.
"Sorry about that... I'm Shinji Ikari nice to meet you."She looks at him for a second before thinking.'i thought he'd be duller.'
A few minutes later the group,save for Toji who was still running laps around the ship, were now in the bridge with a rather irate captain.
"I thought you would be the leader of this group of boyscouts,i was sadly mistaken."Shinji had heard less than 10 words coming from the man's mouth and he already wanted to punch him in the jaw.
"Thank you for understanding captain."
"No,thank you for giving me another chance at baby-sitting children."Shinji just hoped the angel would attack NOW so he wouldn't have to deal with the captain's bullshit for another second.
"We appreciate your assistance in the marine transport of unit-02"Shinji didn't really know why they had chosen to take a sea route,especially since the Suez and panama canals were both destroyed in the Post-impact floods, which meant the unit had to cross the entirety of Africa and most of Oceania simply to reach japan,the fact NERV-Cairo had not managed to find a way to open the Suez in time was why Unit-02 had not been present when the third angel attacked,or the fourth, fifth and also the sixth. "Here are the specifications for the emergency power supply socket."
"As if I'd approve of such a request in the first activate that toy at sea,dont make me laugh!"Shinji had never before wanted to use his so-called 'toy' to stomp someone as badly as he did now.
"Think of it as precaution in case of emergency captain"Shinji could tell misato was losing her cool from the way she kept looking at him in a desperate plea for help.
"Is that not why the pacific fleet is guarding it or are we a cargo service now?"Shinji just couldn't listen to the man's bullshit anymore.
"Exactly that sir."The man looks at him in surprise. "You are indeed a cargo service and nothing more,unless of course you believe your fleet has enough fire-power to surpass something capable of taking a direct hit from a n2 mine with minimal damage."The man looked at him in equal parts shock and anger before bursting out into shouting.
"GET THIS INSOLENT BRAT OFF MY BRIDGE!"Shinji was quite happy to oblige,waiting outside for the others who looked equally shocked at his sudden response,thought Shinji did not miss Misato's smile of approval as he headed out of the bridge.
Shinji idly wondered how exactly he'd gone from waiting outside by himself to waiting in a cramped elevator with the entire group,this time Toji and Kaji included,as it descended down and the two adults bickered.
"What are you even doing here?"Misato asked as she attempted to shift into a more comfortable position.
"I'm on a business trip from Germany of course."
"Man,i should have anticipated this."
"Can you two stop bickering,AND WHO THE HELL JUST TOUCHED MY CROTCH!?"Shinji yelled out as everyone quickly said 'not me'.
Soon they were all having tea in a table for six,well to be more exact everyone but Shinji was having tea while he fulled his Coffee addiction even further.
"So...Do you have a boyfriend now?"Kaji asked in a half joking tone to which Misato took incredibly serious.
"None of your business now is it?"She shot back in annoyance which nearly made Shinji laugh,he loved to get under Misato's skin and by the looks of it so did the spy,he had a feeling they would get along well.Now if you could just stop 'seeking for the truth'...
"So mean.."he comments as he takes a sip of his tea before looking at Shinji "Say,your living with Misato right?"Shinji simply nods in response as he takes a sip of his coffee.
"So tell me,is she still so wild in bed."Shinji smirks.i see what your doing...alright I'll bite.
"Oh is she ever..." Everyone looks at both of them and Misato turns completely red.
"J-just what are you implying...AND DONT ENCOURGE HIM SHINJI"Shinji had a feeling he would have to break that order,he could use to get some tips from the man on how to tease Misato.
"She really hasn't changed at all has she,Ikari Shinji-kun" saying my name before you should even know it,a power play perhaps?
"indeed. Ryoji Kaji."The man's smile fades for a second before coming back as strong as ever. So you hid behind a fake smile,interesting...
…
"So,what do you think of Ikari Shinji?"Asuka hears her soon-to-be-lover-by-force-if-necessary ask.
"He's interesting I suppose,but now what I expected out of the great third child." From what little of his file she'd read she had expected a sheltered boy with no knowledge of how the real world worked,perhaps someone with confidence issues,yet in reality he was quite the opposite,even in his eyes age could be felt and he walked with such sureness one would think he was king of the world. He's not boring to say the least but still nothing when compared to my Kaji.
"Interesting indeed,his Synch ratio was well over 60% in combat with no training."Had Kaji not been there Asuka would have fallen to her death as in shock she let go of the railing and nearly fell into the cold waters below.
"i-i-impossible"Her best ratio EVER was 72%,and she had trained her whole life for piloting,for the boy to simply be that talented or lucky was nigh she looked for answers on how that could be she soon found her's.of course he'd have a higher ratio in a worse unit
She would show him the superiority of her own unit 2 and prove herself the best pilot once again.
…
Out of all things Shinji expected in his life, beinh suddenly pulled by the collar by an angry german red head to 'see her robot',was not among them. Thought the prospect of finally seeing a real combat unit did excite him,even if it was the most basic among the 10 planned Combat units.
"This is Evangelion unit 02"She explained as if it wasn't the most obvious thing in the world. "Unit's 00 and 01 were the prototype and test type respectively,the fact they can synchronize with an untrained pilot like you is proof of that."Actually Unit-01 and even more so unit-00 were harder to synchronize with due to Unit-01's refusal of anyone but her soon and unit-00's...quirks one could say?
"However unit-02 is different,it's..."She was quickly cut off by Shinji.
"The final design module,built for real combat situations and the world's first production line evangelion"Shinji liked to know things about the Evas,he could say every planned difference in every unit from 00 to 12 and technically 13,even if it was not supposed to was about to reply when an underwater explosion caught their attention.Its here.
"Was that?"He asked.
"An undersea shockwave!"Asuka exclaimed as she rushed of to the railings to see the source of said explosion.
"Angel."Shinji stated somberly as he looked at the destroyed remains of an Ayanami class heard Asuka mutter something but couldn't quite figure out what it was as the enemy continued to wreck the fleet.As expected even dozens of ships with enough fire-power to level a city do nothing to an AT field.
Shinji was then dragged around by the hand by Asuka to god knows where.
"Where in god's name are you taking me woman"He asked before she stooped in front of a stairway and looked back at him.
"Just wait here for a second."She orders,he sighs before sitting down in one of the steps and waiting,she was taking quite the while and as such Shinji did something that in hindsight was incredibly stupid and peeked.
"GYAH,DONT PEAK YOU PERVERT!"He replied with a short and panicked 'sorry' as his face went completely red.
A few seconds later she handed him another Red plugsuit,he looked at it for a few moments and then looked at the battle and at the plugsuit.
"God fucking damn it"He takes it with a sigh and walks to get dressed. He comes out in an overly tight plugsuit,especially in certain places.
"So,we're going out there without permission."He asked with a raised eyebrow
"We'll ask permission after we defeat it"She replied with a huge smirk on her face.
"Just my kind of plan."He climbed into the unit and moved towards the Outstretched entry plug.
"Now,)'ll show you how magnificent my piloting is."If Shinji was being completely honest he liked her attitude,unlike him she seemed to be genuinely confident in her ability as a if Shinji was incredibly well trained he still doubted his own Skill sometimes.
They entered the plug and began the initiation sequence for the unit.
"L.C.L Fullung,Anfang der Bewengung,Anfag des Nervenanschlusses,Ausolen Von linksneigung,synchro start."Shinji jumped slightly as error messages appeared all over the plug.thought noise,shit.He might have gotten distracted with her voice.
"Thought noise!"She looked at him "I told you not to disturb me" his head Sunk into his shoulders in slight embarrassment "Your thinking in Japanese aren't you?Think in german." Had she simply assumed he knew the language,because he did but even so making assumptions was rude.
"Ja, Ma'am. vorausgesetzt, ich spreche Deutsch ist übrigens unhöflich"He answered,the unit then activates as the thought noise clears.
"Evangelion Unit-02,active!"Shinji then mentally went through the checklist of their equipment,they would have no long-range weapons,meaning his marksmanship would be useless,they also did not have NERV resources and were currently running on backup power,and there was the fact that Unit-02 Didn't have A-type equipment,if they fell.
"If we fall we're as good as dead..."
"Then we wont"Shinji looked at her and laughed. "I suppose that's the spirit"He says with a looks ahead at the mass of approaching water.
"It's coming our way"Shinji stated moments before unit-02 leaped through the air and landed on another ship,just in time for the ship they were formerly on to start sinking into the ocean.
"Really glad I hopped on now."He said moments before the unit started leaping from ship to ship causing massive damage to their decks as it did so.And now the conventional forces will hate our guts even more.Shinji sighed as the unit's cloak was released from it in a rather dramatic hops around multiple other ships before landing graciously in the super-carrier's deck
"Connecting external power."Asuka says as the external power cable connects and the internal countdown stops.
"We still don't have a weapon"Not that Shinji needed a weapon,his second kill had been with his Eva's bare hands but he was not so sure of that underwater.
"The progressive knife should be enough"
"Good enough for now at least"he says as the unit retrieves it's progressive knife handle which then extends into a more advanced version of the knife. I want that in unit-01,add that to the list of things to ask of Ritsuko.
The angel's colossal figure rises from the water slightly.
"Bigger than I thought."He smirks. "At least we'll have a challenge."
"That's right!"Asuka agreed as the angel approached the carrier's deck and slammed into the unit,the sheer strength of the angel's mass tipping the carrier slightly to its side and making Unit-02 drop its knife. As it continued to struggle unit 2 falters for a moment and is thrown into the water with it.
"Asuka,you can't fight underwater with B-type equipment!"Misato warned under the coms,in reality there was about a 0.005% Chance they would be able did not like those odds and much less did Asuka.
"You never know if you don't try"Shinji thought it awfully optimistic of her as the unit was now being dragged through several underwater ruined buildings that were once part of their cable length ran out and the unit came to a dead stop.
"Its coming."Shinji warned,Asuka looks at him with a frown "I see that, idiot!"Shinji rolls his eyes at the comment as she tries to move the unit. "What?its not working."
"B-type equipment" Shinji says through Gritted teeth,they weren't going anywhere without A-type equipment.
"Then do something,third!"Shinji went through the options in his mind,the one that would most probably lead to victory was praying and hoping Misato had a angel approached them its huge mouth opening before biting into the unit.
"The situation keeps getting better"Shinji comments sarcastically as he attempts to free the Eva from the angel's jaws to little effect.
"Shut up and get off me you pervert!"She shouts at him,is now the time to be worrying about the fact I'm being a 'pervert'.
"Asuka do you hear me?"They both looked up,paying attention to Misato's sudden call. "Don't let go of it!"She orders,Shinji mentally hits his head against a wall,would any of that woman's plans not be crazy?.However with little choice but to comply they hold onto the angel tighter. A few minutes of planning later and Asuka was hitting him in the head,for some reason.
"Do the two of you understand the operation"Shinji looks up to reply.
"Yeah,can do boss."At very least this plan didn't involve anyone's nigh certain death,unlike her last one,not that his battle plans were often much better. The one against the fourth angel a clear example of his planning skills,or lack thereof.
Soon they could feel as the cable was suddenly pulled back and the was launched back words along with the angel.
"Hey your touching my...get off"Shinji looked at her with the best poker face he could muster at that moment in time.
"I Don't think now's really the time for this"The Eva continues to be pulled toward the humphed but let go of his hair before leaning forward to grab onto the Eva's control yokes,her chest pressing into Shinji's back as she did so.
Think unsexy thoughts think un-sexy thoughts!
kensuke humping an helicopter,thanks mind,thanks...
"Don't get any strange ideas.."Asuka said with a scowl.
"Would never princess."He said in a overly sarcastic tone as he attempted to will the angel's mouth open.
"15 seconds until contact."Shinji willed the unit to push up with more strength.
Open!Open!OPEN GOD DAMN IT! With a cry of anger both pilots willed the Eva to push up and miraculously enough it did,the angel's mouth came open and both of the scuttled ships rammed inside it before opening fire. Neither of the pilots see the explosion as they attempted to direct the now flying Eva into the 'Over the rainbow's deck.
…
Ryoji Kaji looked at the blank expression that was the norm on Commander Gendo Ikari's face before speaking.
"It was a rather eventful trip,was it caused by this I wonder?"He pointed at the case in the Commander's desk,inside it was Adam,as well as a little something else.
"What caused the Angel's attack is un-important,the scenario goes forward as planned."The commander stated simply as he looked at the frozen form of Adam.
"Whatever you say boss."Kaji said as he light a cigarette aflame and slowly put it in his mouth.
…
"She was cute and all,but was a total bitch"Toji had been complaining about Asuka's bitchiness for last 10 minutes and it was starting to get on Shinji's nerves.
"And we have to see her at work,what a pain"He says with an exasperated sight before the sound of the door sliding catches his attention. There standing in all her glory was Asuka Langley Shoryu. As toji pointed towards her while shooting out an incoherent mess of words Shinji couldn't help but laugh out loud,things for the young pilot had just gotten incredibly more interesting.
…
The angry German has arrived to kick ass and chew gum and she's still got plenty of gum.
