Chapter 14: Seven Sins
"Hey Shinji… you awake?" I wake to a girls voice, expecting it to be Asuka, I spoke.
"Hey, Asuka. Did you like the other night?" I asked jokingly. It has been a personal joke between me and her lately at how loud she can get.
"What exactly did you do?" I rub the last of the sleep out of my eyes to see that Sam was staring at me.
"AH! Sam! Sorry, I didn't… I mean… sorry." This was horrible! If Asuka got wind of this, I'd be dead!
"Wow, Shinji, what did you do with Asuka, huh? Akagi said you would never pull something like that, yet here you are!" I'm so dead.
"Please Sam, don't say anything to anyone! Asuka would be mortified! I'll do anything, just don't say anything, please?" the look on her eyes went black, this wasn't good.
"Anything? Okay, I only want one thing…" I'm not going to like this, "all you have to do to get me to keep quiet is give me one kiss. That's all." Ah man!
"Sam… you know I can't do that," even though I was the only one that knew about the camera, I know Asuka would find out eventually.
"Just one little peck. That's all I'm asking for, and I'll be out of your hair." I look over at the camera, "Okay, guess I'll just ask the doctor why you moan in your sleep…" That was all the convincing I needed.
"F… fine. But not here. I'll meet you in the bat…" the sound of a blasting alarm went off. Wee all meet in the control center to find out what was going on.
"What is this?" I hear a woman shout.
"I knew it wasn't over…" Ritsuko said.
"What's not ov… no. don't tell me that there are more angels!" Asuka yelled. So that's why there was another pilot.
"Yes, you know how the purposes of the angels were to make contact with Adam to make a third impact? Well these, the MAGI believes, represent the worst sides of man. The Seven Sins, Lust, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Gluttony, Envy and Pride will try to bring the apocalypse, not an impact." Damn it, seven more angels!
A/N- No, I did not get the idea for the sins from FMA, it is my own.
"So… which one is this?" not really wanting to know, I ask.
"It appears to be Wrath, at least that's what the MAGI says." I still can't believe this.
"Get to your stations, now!" I hear that same, deep voice that haunts me at night. It was Gendo.
"Okay!" we all yell together.

5 Minutes Later
"All Evas are prepped and ready for launch! Sync ratios are 87 for Asuka, 95 for Shinji, and 93 for Sam!" why did her sync drop? "Unit 01, launch! Unit 02, launch! Unit 05, launch!" not hearing Unit 02 launching brought a sinking feeling over me.
I look over at Sam's Eva, quite beautiful actually. It had a graceful shade of orange, and it's body is almost exactly like Asuka's Eva. It was obviously very agile.
"Good God! What the hell is that!" I looked in the direction of Asuka, and see Wrath. It had a solid black body, but it seemed like a hole more than a skin tone. Its eyes were the only piece of color it had, dark red. Those glowing eyes were scarier than any other angel before it. The body greatly resembled that of an Eva, but is was leaning over as it walked, or rather, ran. It never stood still, always running around and punching mountains, buildings, anything that would cross its path.
"Attack the target now!" Gendo once again yelled. Asuka was the first – as always – to attack. She threw a running punch at it's face, but to my amazement, it turned around and caught her fist.
"What the- AAAHH!" the angel threw her over it's head and continued to destroy everything.
"Use your weapons! There not there for decoration, ya know!" Misato was yelling. I pick up an assault rifle and fire away. Hitting every shot, soon I realize something.
"It… doesn't have an AT field? Why not?" it'll be too easy without one.
"I told you that these aren't angels, they are sins. They are so powerful, they don't need one." Oh, that's perfect.
"Whatever, I'm going for it! No AT field, no defense!" Once again, Asuka charges, but this time she makes contact. The sin was sent flying across miles of mountain ranges. "There we go!" she yelled in triumph.
"Nice one Asuka! Sam, what are you doing!" Ritsuko yelled, Sam was just standing there. The look on her face was that of fear.
"Sam, it's okay. We'll protect you, and you'll do the same for us. We come out here as a team, and leave as a team. Just go out there and fight, you'll be okay, I swear." I hope my words got to her.
"I've… never… fought…" she said between breaths, she was panting.
"Look, you know how to throw a punch, right? You know how to pull a trigger too, right? You have three knives on you right now, use them! Show us that you're not a complete waist and fight!" Asuka was actually helping in her own way.
"Fine!" with that, Sam picked up a SMG and ran towards the sin. She lifted up her foot high, and brought it down on the sin's neck. Its arms were thrashing like Asuka's when I… "Die you son of a bitch!" she put the gun barrel to the sin's head and emptied her clip on it.
"Damn!" Asuka was obviously shocked. This so-called sweet little girl just got done raining blood over the city. Sam walked over to us, SMG leaning on her shoulder, and just stood there.
"Well? How was I, huh?" both of our jaws hung wide open. She just splattered the brains of a 180 foot monster all over and she was acting like this?

NERV- An Hour Later
"Sam! Are you alright? You went crazy out there!" and she did, that was the most gruesome thing I've ever seen.
"Eh, I'm fine! Once you get used to those things, it's pretty fun!" the room suddenly went silent. Misato got up right in her face.
"This is not a game! The lives of billions of people are in your hands, and if you screw up even once, you could kill thousands, or even millions of people. Never treat this like nothing! You hear me!" She was seriously mad.
"Y… yes, ma'am. I'm sorry," with that, Sam ran off crying.
"What's up with Misato?" I whispered to Asuka.
"Shhh! I'll tell you later," Misato turned towards us and motioned us to leave.

Shinji/Sam's Room- An Hour Later
"Sam, you really can't act like that. Your worst nightmares are nothing compared to what will happen if you don't take this seriously. You must act on reflex, not what you think. I learned this the hard way…" She looked at me with sad eyes.
"W… what happened?" she is still crying.
"Before you came, there were angels. We were fighting the 16th and final one when it took over both Evas aside from me. Instead of acting on reflex and finding a way
to beat it without hurting my co-pilots, I was engulfed in a dummy plug." I couldn't believe I was telling her this, but she had to know what could happen.
"And… what happened?" I looked at her with blank eyes.
"There was a beautiful young woman named Rei Ayanami, I fought, and killed her. And as for Asuka, I looked into her face right before I came close to killing her, and it was worse than anything I will ever experience. You like me and Asuka, right?"
"…Yeah…" she replied soon after.
"How would you feel if you were to kill both of us? What would become of you? Would you be able to cope knowing that you had the blood of your friends on your hands. Not a pleasing thought? Well then act when you are told to do so." This really cut deep.
"Shinji… I'm… sorry!" She lunges forward and latches on to me. She is now crying into my shoulder. I put a hand on her back and cradle her.
"It's okay, don't worry about it. Just follow my warning, and you'll be fine." She got up after this, and fell asleep on my bed. Man! Now I'M on the floor!
A/N- How do you feel about her now, eh? What will these next sins be like? Will the pilots be able to beat them? Find out in the next chapter; A Night Out, until then, keep on keeping on!
