A/N: I'm not wasting any time! We have to solve the meaning of that paragraph! On with it!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Misato got a call. "Hello. Commander?" A pause. "Yeah, we know what's going on!" A longer pause. "You installed spyware on my computer?" A pause. "I understand. So you'll be in touch. I'll switch over to speakerphone."

Ivana got a call. Whoever she was speaking to, she was speaking in Russian. After a few moments, she hung up. "They know where this program originated."

"Where?" asked Zack.

"Here in Japan," replied Ivana.

"That would explain the rising sun," said Gendo.

"But then it says go across the great blue," said Zack.

"Could be an ocean. We're on the Pacific Coast," said Misato. "It makes sense."

"To the land where the eagle spreads his wings. Hey a'int that the United States?" asked Zack.

"That would make sense," said Kozou. "The eagle is the animal that represents America."

Gendo spoke up. "The lion symbolizes Britain."

Misato then spoke up. "Hey, the falcon represents Germany. I remember Asuka telling me that."

"That would make sense," said Zack. "Germany did try to conquer Europe. TWICE."

"The bear symbolizes Russia," said Ivana.

Kozou realized something. "I get it. It's a map, or an order. The symbols are in the same order as the thefts that have been happening. First the theft in America, then Britain, then Germany, Russia, and now here."

"Where the darkness will rise. This means that someone will attack us using all the weaponry they have stolen. It will likely be equipped on the stolen Unit 07," said Gendo. "This also proves Mana's involvement in this ordeal. She knew it was going to happen before it happened."

"Where are the other kids?" asked Kozou.

"Oh they went out," said Misato. "Why are they in danger?"

"Potentially," said Gendo. "If she could avoid it, she will likely try to eliminate as many obstacles in her way as possible. I'm giving the order to have the First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Seventh Child to be placed in NERV's protective custody until Mana Kirishima is hunted down and either arrested or killed.

"What about Zack and Ivana?" asked Misato.

"I have another purpose for them," said Gendo. "They will hunt down Mana. Mana is likely aware that her cover is blown. If she sees a Section-2 agent, the outcome cannot be predicted. She won't be able to guess that the Fifth and Sixth will try to apprehend her."

"Cool," said Zack. "We're gonna get Mana!"

"Now listen carefully," said Gendo. "She is likely to be extremely dangerous. You have my authorization to do whatever it takes to have her dealt with. You may even blow up a building if necessary. You may have anyone arrested arbitrarily if they are uncooperative. The city is already in lockdown and on First Stage Alert. However, the citizens have not been ordered into shelters yet. You will each have six Section-2 agents who are at your beck and call."

"And if we are unable to capture or kill her?" Zack asked.

"Then return to NERV immediately and prepare for EVA combat. The other children will be let out of custody and will be prepared for battle against Unit 07. Good luck you two."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"This sucks!" Asuka was not happy about having Section-2 agents have her, Shinji, and Rei taken into custody.

"They said it was for our protection," said Rei. "NERV only wants to make sure we are safe."

"Yeah," said Shinji. "But where's Zack and Ivana?"

"Who knows," replied Toji. He was also taken into custody. "Hopefully we'll still get 3 meals a day."

"Is this what I deserve?" asked Elly. "She planned to go for a swim in the NERV swimming pool after talking to Mana, or rather distracting her. She was in her two piece bathing suit when she was taken into custody. "It's freezing in here!"

"And where's that Mana girl?" asked Toji. "Is she missing too?"

"There's a lot we need to find out," said Asuka. "We can ask the guards when they bring our food."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Zack and Ivana were about to leave, another piece of data was sent. It was from the RCMP. As it came on screen, they were shocked by what they saw. It was an image of Unit 07. Then there was another image of Unit 07, but this time, it had all the stolen equipment on it plus other equipment.

Then the RCMP sent another piece of data that was impossible to decipher. Gendo used his spyware to look at it. "It's already been deciphered," he said. "But it's in another language unfamiliar to us."

"Can't we translate it?" asked Misato.

"I will use the MAGI to translate this. This phrase is in an ancient language. I will need a few minutes for the MAGI to figure this out." A few minutes passed. "The MAGI have translated the phrase.

Ancient forces of the Diablos, I humbly call amongst thee to grant me your power. I cast my soul into your presence, and I am imbued with your infinite power. Now I conjure the Seal of Diablos.

"That's chant those terrorists were using to use that freaky seal!" said Zack.

"Yes. If Mana knows the chant, she is likely to be very dangerous if she is allowed to escape," said Ivana. "Come Zack, we must leave immediately."

It was already 10:00pm. People were shocked by the order to have the city locked down, but no orders given to go to the shelters. The local police had also been notified by NERV to find a 14-year old girl named Mana Kirishima as she was wanted by NERV for theft over $5,000, theft of NERV property. To be arrested on sight, and if met with resistance, she is to be executed.

Zack and Ivana covered different parts of the city. They asked some people. Some didn't know what was going on, some chose to be uncooperative and were arrested for aid and abet. Some recognized the girl with mahogany coloured hair, but hadn't seen her as of recent. Zack got a call on his cell.

"Hello."

"Donut, it's Von Wolfen. I have a lead."

"Where is the bitch then?"

"She's at the train station. Meet you outside." She hung up.

Zack turned to his Section-2 agents. "All right men, new order. We're going to the train station. Let's move!" Zack got on his NERV issued motorcycle and the agents got in their van. They sped off for the Tokyo-3 station. Obviously Mana was planning on using the train to escape.

Within five minutes Zack's squad arrived where Ivana's was waiting. They motioned for the agents to create a perimeter around the building and to stay quiet. Zack and Ivana peeked inside the window. There she was, standing there waiting for her train to arrive. Zack put a call into NERV.

"Yes," said Gendo.

"Commander. We've located the target at the train station. We need you to stop all trains from entering or leaving that station."

"It will be done. Now apprehend her." He hung up.

"Zack," said Ivana. "You go through the back door. I will go through the front door. You ready?"

"Yeah. Let's do this." They both took out their 9mm handguns. Ivana waited for Zack as he was going to come through the back and she would be surrounded. Ivana's cell then rang.

"I'm in position." Zack hung up.

Ivana then calmly walked through the door to the station. She went straight towards Mana.

Mana saw Ivana as she walked towards her. "Hi Ivana. My dad's coming to visit me. That's why I'm here so late. What brings you here?"

Ivana then pointed her gun at Mana. Mana was shocked. "Ivana? What's going on?"

Ivana had an innocent smile on her face. "Oh I just want to ask you something Mana."

"Exactly what is Project Devastator?" Zack came in from behind also pointing a gun at Mana. Everyone else got scared and stepped back while this event unfolded.

Mana now had a sinister smile on her face. "So you finally figured it out. I'm a SEELE operative. Code named: Iron Maiden."

"So what do you plan to do with Unit 07?" asked Ivana.

"Simple. Get all the equipment needed, then use Unit 07 to single-handedly wipe out NERV," said Mana.

"But why?" asked Zack.

"SEELE wanted to stop Commander Ikari from initiating his version of 3rd Impact and establish their own version, which would have been great for all mankind. But that plan was stopped. Then we met new people who would help us if we submitted to them."

"Loonies that use twisted magic?" asked Zack again.

"It's not twisted. Whenever a human loses, their mind becomes merged into my master's masterpiece. Their souls become merged into one entity. They go to a place with no AT Fields, no pain, no misery. This is the reason for SEELE's new purpose. And to be able to do that, you guys have to be eliminated."

"How do you call that ideal when you have caused harm to innocent people?" asked Zack again.

"Pathetic humans, don't tell me what's right and what's wrong! Your purpose is WRONG!" shouted Mana.

Suddenly, she kicked Ivana's gun right out of her hand. As she did, it went off, making everyone flinch. Then she kicked Zack's gun, he also losing his grip on it.

"Let's take her apart Ivana!"

"Literally," she replied.

And so began a two-on-one hand-to-hand combat battle. Zack and Ivana thought they could both take down Mana with ease. They were wrong. Zack attacked first with punch, kick, trip combination. She blocked the punches, jumped over the trip and as she jumped, kicked him in the face, send him sprawling.

Now it was Ivana's turn. She used her Russian Commando Martial Arts. But Mana was too fast. She quickly got behind Ivana and struck her in the back of the head, knocking the Russian powerhouse down.

By this time, Zack was back on his feet, this time. Mana used some dangerous moves on him. But Zack's self taught style saved him as he was able to sway out of the way of her dangerous assaults. He czaught her off guard for a second with a faked kick. He punched her in the face and kicked her in the stomach, forcing Mana to backpedal.

By now, Ivana was back on her feet. "Let's take her together," she said.

"Go," he said.

'Guess I'll have to take this up a notch,' thought Mana to herself. Now both of them were attacking her. As she blocked both of their dangerous assaults, Mana did the unthinkable. She quickly assumed a handstand position, then began twirling around on her hands. She also did the splits with her legs. Now Zack and Ivana had to face of wheel of dangerous kicks.

After forcing them both to move back, she got back on her feet. "I'll bet you two underestimated me," she said proud with her results so far.

"This is far from over Kirishima," said Ivana confidently.

"Like she said," said Zack. "You're not leaving this place alive Mana."

"I can say the same for you," replied Mana. "I've been trained in many different styles of martial arts. My skills outmatch both of yours."

"Playtime is over Mana," said Zack. Zack took something out of his pocket. He had brass knuckles. Ivana also took out brass knuckles.

"Hmm. Will this get interesting now?" asked Mana.

Ivana attacked first. She then ran behind Mana. Zack attacked her front from the front. As Zack had Mana distracted, Ivana then tried to grab Mana and crush her with a bearhug. But Mana seemed to sense this and she grabbed Zack, sidestepped out of the way and threw him into Ivana.

"Oww, what's your head made of Ivana?" asked Zack rubbing his head.

"Hahahaha. One bop and you're both down. That's using your heads people."

Both EVA pilots got back up. "Let's end this," said Ivana. They rushed her. Mana was caught off guard and was kicked in the stomach by both of them, then using an opened fist, they sent her flying into some waiting chairs.

Mana was slow to get up as the attacks obviously hit home. She laughed then. "I'd love to keep fighting with you, but my ride is here."

"What?" said a shocked Ivana.

Suddenly, an SUV came crashing through the back door of the train station. Mana jumped in the passenger's seat and the SUV drove through the front, barely missing hitting the EVA pilots.

Ivana then whipped out her cell phone and made a call to Commander Ikari. She told him Mana escaped in a black SUV and was heading south. Zack and Ivana were told to return to headquarters.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Kirishima has broken through our roadblock," said Kozou ten minutes later.

"Go to Second Stage Alert. Order all civilians into the shelters. Tell the children to suit up as we are going to be attacked soon."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NERV HQ – Holding cell.

It was getting boring waiting in that holding cell. Suddenly the guard spoke up. "You kids have a visitor."

The door opened. It was Misato. She got right to the point. "Kids, we are on Second Stage Alert. We're going to be attacked soon."

"By who?" asked Elly.

"Another EVA. Evangelion Unit 07."

"The news said nothing was stolen in Britain," said Asuka.

"That was a lie to avoid panic amongst the public."

Shinji was frightened. "Misato, if we're going to be attacked by an EVA, then there's a kid piloting it. Please tell me Misato, who is piloting Unit 07 to attack us."

Misato remembered what happened last time when Toji got hurt and Shinji found out the hard way about the identity of Unit 03's pilot. "Okay Shinji, I'm not going to lie to you. The pilot of Evangelion Unit 07 is…"

Shinji looked on in horror as Misato revealed the identity of the pilot.

"…Mana Kirishima."
