CHAPTER 3 DELIVERED.
The Angel reached down, and lifted Unit 01 by the head. By the time the Eva was raised completely off the ground, Shinji realized he was back in control. His frustration with the angel had meshed well with Unit 01's own rage. Shinji played along until he was as high as the Fourth Angel raised him, and smirked, deploying the progressive knife. He reached for it, gripping it across the Eva's chest as the Angel began to reach for unit 01's arm. Shinji could feel the pressure of the abomination's grip even as he flashed the blade down, toward that arm, slicing the limb apart.
The Angel reeled back, dropping EVA 01. The biomechanical titan caught itself as it landed, crouched low.
"Shinji is doing far better than expected, Mister Ikari."
"I'm aware."
"Your plan... will need some reconsidering."
"I'm aware."
Gendo sounded rather cross.
Elsewhere, below the Geofront, The tall boy and Misato stood side by side, watching the combat from the 'Bridge' of NERV HQ.
"Shinji! That's how you do it! Get 'im!"
The tall boy cheered, wildly, one fist in the air.
The Angel reformed it's arm, and readied it's AT field, staring intently at the Unit 01. Shinji felt it probing an idea into him. Match the AT field. Well, of course. He knew that much from the briefing before he launched. He wasn't sure how.
Think it. Of course, of course. Shinji looked up and stared at the Angel, focused on the AT Fields, and moving at the same time. Of course he could do it. Bro was watching.
Shinji roared, and Unit 01's mouth tore open to reply in kind, yet he had not lost control. The Evangelion stood, prog knife in one hand, unharmed. The Angel took a step back, showing what appeared to be fear, before the first face shifted away, revealing the second, finally. The eyes of the second face glowed, and a massive beam lanced out from it, engulfing Unit 01 and most of what was behind it.
The Evangelion was barely singed, and Shinji just grit his teeth, accepting it.
The pair lunged as one, toward the Angel. The prog knife was held back and low, the eva's hand reached forward to intercept the AT field. As that purple armor came into contact with the AT field, the fingertips pushed through. This was the opening to shove the knife forward, tearing and stabbing at the same time, straight toward the Angel's core.
The blade sank into the red sphere, cracking it, but the Angel still stood. It rolled forward, wrapping itself around the unbalanced Unit 01, and the core gleamed, before the Angel exploded.
"Ritsuko! What the hell was that?"
"I don't know, Misato. But look at the screen."
"Unit 01? How could anything survive that?"
"What's not to get, ladies? Shinji's in there. Of course he survived."
The tall boy finished the conversation, as no one had a rational counterpoint worth making, in the face of his certainty.
STILL NO ANSWERS!
WOO FOR MYSTERIES.
