To the person trying to leave shitty anon reviews. You do realize I can delete them right? No matter what you say. You are rather pathetic to be putting them in anon reviews. If you were really as big and mighty as you think you are, you'd use your actual account; or are you scared?

Yea, that's more than likely that you're a filthy coward.

Ha.

Falling Star

Time passed as the afternoon moved into the evening and the sun set off in the west. Kaji had brought Asuka to his apartment he had for his long stays in Germany. It was a two floor studio with a sun deck on the back porch. Even though the place looked like your average German apartment he still did treat things like he was back in Japan. He took his shoes off at the door and had different slipper for each part of the home.

Leading Asuka further he took her to the sun deck which had a few micro gardens growing different fruits and a great view of the night sky above. Kaji did not want to live in town anywhere near the place he was to work knowing the dangerous proposition of his work. Also the city lights hide much of the worlds natural beauty being in the outskirts served him well.

"Would you like anything to drink Asuka?" Kaji asked of Asuka after he got her a seat on the deck the light show was looking to begin as a few shooting stars could already be witnessed firing across the sky. Making his way back in he did vanish for a few minutes before coming back with a think but soft blanket two pillows and a few refreshments while they enjoyed the light show of the cosmos.

Laying the blankets and pillows out upon the deck Kaji laid down his eyes looking up to the sky and then to Asuka.

"Come join me, please." Patting the blanket at his side. He had been pushing Asuka tonight with the need of physical and mental assistance after the battle with the Angel but all he had got from her is her pride and unwillingness to be human and admit her want of help even if it was to be his own.

Smiling softly at Kaji, she followed him until they reached his house, She stared at everything and looked at all his things; it was pretty impressive. She liked his style.

When taken out to the deck, she inspected the garden with interest.

"You like to grow things?" she asked softly, declining the drink and sitting on the blanket and pillows with him; cuddling up to him tightly, as if any moment she could lose him.

She had wanted to open up to him, him of all people in fact; but she couldn't, if she revealed herself out people would think she's weak, she had to be more than that! She had to be the best and the best dont cry, dont ask for help or whine about their problems.

"Its beautiful.." she sighed softly, "And so is the view" she smiled, adding a kiss to his cheek.

"I wish this moment could last for ever" she sighed and looked up to the sky, the stars were visible even through the light pollution of the city and she sat there for a long time just staring up at them.

Kaji was at one of his many homes in the world. The life of a spy not being the best for people to settle down in only one spot. Even so he was with Asuka her cuddled to his side his eyes looking to the stars above them. The quiet so nice only the sound of Asuka asking him questions.

"Making things grow is a reward in itself. I do enjoy it." Kaji replied with a smile and he two would have enjoyed this moment lasting much longer. Maybe he could have unlocked her heart and removed the fear inside.

Still as the night moved on she kept her barriers up as if he could somehow hurt her instead of help her through the trauma of her life.

Was that where the angels came from? Space? Or were they from earth? if they came from space, where did they come from?

"Look, a shooting star..." she sat up, pointing high in to the sky as a star moved slowly through the sky. Defiantly not a man made object.

She closed her eyes and wished... she wished... she wished...

The explosion shook the earth for miles, Berlin burst into flames as the star fell from the sky and hit the outskirts. Just as she stood up to look where it landed, another one hit, further out and unleashing a fireball into the sky.

Falling into his arms thanks to the shock wave, they were at a safe distance from the blast but it still rocked the earth.

"Kaji… look!" she pointed up, another shooting star was moving across the sky and slowly it fell to the earth, smashing into the city's outskirts.

Asuka's military mind came into action, she was a genius after all.

"Their walking a target!" she pointed, each shot had gotten closer to Berlin's centre.

"Somethings shooting at the city!" she pointed up, she couldn't see it, but her heart jumped and she gripped the railing, unaware that urine was running down her leg again.

An angel... she had to fight another one... so soon after the last? Why?

She didn't voice her words, moments before he'd notice the urine dribbling down her leg, their phones would both ring at the same time. Closing her eyes slowly as a few tears fell down, she took several breaths to stop her panicking heart and turned to go inside,

She had been recalled back in, Unit 02 wasn't ready but they were sending her out in it anyway. The military set up weapons to intercept the blasts but they could not hit the angel, it was in high orbit and if they did; nothing scratched it but an EVA.

Japan had been called in too, she'd be working with one of their pilots, Unit 0, the Prototype. Unit 1 was not operational at this time apparently the pilot had done something stupid.

"Kaji." she whispered. "Lets go" she tried to sound firm, in control, however her voice broke on the word 'go'.

The sky show was interrupted by a loud impact with the earth with one of the shooting stars. Jumping to his feet Kaji was in awe of the devastation this new threat was raining down from the heavens. Another Angel and so soon after the fall of the last one. His cell phone went off with a series of instructions for him when escorting the pilot of the German Evangelion back to headquarters.

"Lets go." The words escaping Asuka lips before his own as he grabbed his jacket and keys from the table. Placing the jacket over Asuka shoulders he rushed them both to his car. Time was very limited and he needs her to be able to meet with the operations manager to deploy.

Peeling out Kaji clips the top of his car with the garage door for it was not fully raised when he charged his car from the home. The smoke, dust and ash filling the air from the impact sights starting to hinder vision. Luckily for the two it was only a little time and they made it back to the headquarters with only a few more impacts striking the earth from the enemy high above.

"Asuka, Be careful. I will see you when this is all done." Kaji pushed Asuka into the cage elevator slamming the gate shut as another explosion hit right above their position rocking the entire place as Asuka was sent down below to the operational centre. Blood dripping down the wall of the cage where Kaji was standing.

"Well, this day is going to suck." Kaji replied as he pilled the bolt screw from his shoulder with a assortment of shrapnel from the his car exploding as it was crushed right outside the gate by the structural failure of the old bunker. Luckily he knew the elevator was gravity lifted so even with a power failure she would arrive safely at her assigned location.

Pulling his phone he leans against the outside of the cage.

"Asuka is on her way down. I will be making my way topside. The third armor line has been compromised." Making his way back to the crushed car he was luckily able to pop the trunk and pull the suitcase he has to keep near him for his trip to Japan.

"You are causing me so much trouble. Only a few more days and I will be rid of you."

Going down in the lift alone, she had wanted him to come, but he had let her go, pushing her into the cage just as the explosion nearby.

"Kaji!" she called up but she was already gone. She was met by a security detail who rushed her into the prep room, She dressed quickly and ran to her EVA as it was prepped up. Its arm was still missing and covered over by a tarp in a cape like look.

She was told the plan, The EVA was being made combat capable for Upper atmosphere combat, EVA, she had participated in this sort of training so knew how to do it. Japan was sending its pilot into orbit too, strapped to a rocket used for satellite deployment next month.

Germany had been working on a rocket too, she didn't ask where it came from but the rocket was ready to launch. Unknown to her it was the moon base rocket. The EVA was shipped to the launch pad outside of Germany's capital through hidden tunnels. She laid in the cockpit as she stared up at the destruction raining down on Berlin.

"Kaji. Can I speak to him?" She asked but was denied access. Stating 'Comms were down' yet she was getting clean coms from the base where he was at. She was scared, she wanted to talk to him, her heart rate was spiking as she had a mini-panic attack.

When it came to the attack, the EVA was strapped into the internal bay of the rocket and shot into space. She opened the pod door when it was all over; the shaking, the G forces. Gods she'd never felt anything like that before, even in training.

Staring at the earth as she floated out, she had no idea she was still being listened to by everyone, even though she was told no one could hear her comms.

"Kaji. I wish you were here to see this with me" she teared up as she saw the earth, its destruction thanks to the First Impact visible from space with the red water, half the continents flooded.

Turning, she saw the Angel, and saw another pod rising up over the horizon. "You the Japanese girl?" she questioned over coms.

Some back and forth went between 'Rei' and Asuka and they started the plan hatched by the command staff at Japan. Asuka would be bait, she hated that, she should be the one fighting. Launching on booster pods strapped to their limbs like little aerosol cans, she got close to the beast.

It looked like a giant eyeball, every time it blinked, it sent down a blast of energy. She could see Berlin burning from space.

It slowly began to turn to face her and she froze; her limbs shaking as they met eye contact together.

It fired…

The blast barely missed her, she was so close it skimmed her. Hissing and screaming in pain at the heat of the plasma burning her outer shell, she launched forward, "Fuck the plan!" she hissed,

"Throw me the ball!" she hissed at the Japanese girl, 'the ball' was a N2 mine, they were to shove it down the throat of the thing and try to de-orbit it.

From the surface, all they saw was the nuclear explosion, losing contact with both EVA 00 and EVA 02.

"If both are dead, then we will need to go to the backups." a general stated in the room with Kaji, they were already classing her as gone.

Standing top side at the emergency command truck Kaji watched as the Evangelion's where shot into space. Giving a small wave to the brave before turning back to the security team standing with him as the medic patch's his wounds. "Well, this is turning out to be an eventful day. I will need your truck. I must get on the next flight from Frankfurt to Japan."

A few minutes later as Kaji was racing out of Berlin as the catastrophic event continued to rock the elder city with barrages from the stars above. The radio playing the command frequency. It seemed the German Branch was angry with the choices of the Nehon Branch. There was nothing Kaji could do but now hope for the best. as his gaze looked over the skies above him where the battle would take shape.

A few hours later in Tokyo Three, N.E.R.V. Headquarters standing in the commanders office. "So this is what all the trouble was about? This?" Kaji asked sitting the suitcase upon the desk opening it enough to show the commander the contents before closing it once again. "I want you to remain on stand by. I might have a use for you." The commander spoke and Kaji took his leave of the commander leaving him the package.

Kaji had a glimpse of what he had brought here and it was not settling all to well with him but then again super-militaristic groups like N.E.R.V. are always looking for ways to better protect themselves and the enemy they fight is beyond anything man has ever faced before. Luckily man has always had the drive to fight off the things that frighten them in the dark and try to being reason and light to such places.

Sitting in the command room, Kaji awaited word on Unit-00 and Unit-02 and the pilots. Obviously the Angel was defeated but even he knew the Evangelion's are not primed for actual space combat and the one that was testing the gear vanished with a large portion of the American Base. He could still remember what was going on before he took his leave. It always seemed he had the way out just in the right time.
