Evangelion: X-Treme Measures

Chapter 2: Show and Tell

The people at NERV were getting nervous about the new security for the pilots. They knew nothing about the group, it was obvious that Wade had a disdain for Asuka and her over grown mouth but a slight interest in the blonde scientist of NERV Ritsuko Akagi; but other than that people didn't know a damn thing about them.

They were very strange. John Wraith always seemed to be in two places at once, the next day after they arrived Chris Bradley had fixed Maya's laptop which had been infected with a virus which almost wiped her hard drive without even pressing a single key.

Which made the brunette bridge bunny take a liking to the close shaved man. Fred Dukes was able to do things even a man of his size, which was well over six foot, should not have been able to do. Wade Wilson had reflexes that were incredible, shown when he caught Ritsuko and her lunch tray after she slipped on a spill in the lunch room (1). Zero had the same reflexes it seemed, and everybody noticed Victor's claws and fangs.

However the group seemed to know the NERV group like they had known them their whole lives, which further unnerved NERV. The commander had not told them anything other than their purpose here, to protect the pilots, but nothing else.

Col. Stryker never shed any light on the situation either. And now both groups were in a NERV truck going to a conference for another company, with another robot that they claimed would replace EVA. So the pilots, Misato, Ritsuko, Wade were sitting on one side of the truck staring at Victor, Fred, John, Chris, and Zero who were staring at them. Wade was sharpening his swords, which Asuka didn't comment on as her hair had just grown back. Zero was checking his guns, and Victor was, for lack of a word, fiddling with his clawed hands.

"You know why these are my favorite weapons Shinji?" Wade said to his neighbor.

"Uh, n-no." Shinji said nervously, glancing at the some what unstable bodyguard.

"Because." Wade said leaning down toward the young man. "They're memorable. You bust one of these out at your ex-girlfriend's wedding, heh nobody will ever forget that."

"Mr. Wilson, stop scaring the pilot." Misato said in her best authority voice, which didn't work.

"I'm not scaring him Chesty McDouble-D." Wade said sending The Weapon X team into a roar of laughter, except for Zero and Fred.

"WHAT"D YOU CALL ME?!" Misato yelled at the man.

"Hard of hearing?" Wade said.

"Wade, stop antagonizing the lady." Fred said staring daggers at the smaller man.

"Why Freddy boy? I haven't had this much fun since Jimmy le-" Wade started until a large, clawed hand grabbed his throat.

"Don't. Mention. That. Name." Victor said punctuating each word with enough malice most of the people in the car back away from the two men as far as they could.

"Sure thing Vicki." Wade said with a smile.

Victor let go of him, sat back down across the aisle, and sent a glare to all the people in the car to show the seriousness in his threats. The tension in the car was eased slightly by the driver.

"Ma'am, there's a block in the road."

Misato and Ritsuko turned around in their seats and saw a large semi-truck blocking the road.

"Can we go around?" Misato asked the driver.

"I don't think so ma'am. I-" The driver never got a chance to finish his sentence as a bullet came through the windshield, while another truck came up from behind them.

"Get down!" Misato said pulling out her pistol.

Out of the alleys and the truck behind and in front of them about two dozen armed men ran out.

"Wraith, get this truck moving." Zero shouted ducking down in the large space between the seats.

"Right!" Wraith bamphed to the driver seat scooting the driver over to the passenger seat, while ducking bullets.

"Victor!" He yelled to Victor who had already opened the door and was half way out. He looked back.

"Do what you do." Was all Zero could say to the feral soldier.

Victor grinned and jumped out, claws bared taking out two men before anyone could say anything else.

"Wade! Take the back truck, I'll take the front. Chris, Fred keep them safe!" Zero said as he and Wade went weapons blazing to take on the men. Fred stationed himself in front of the open right side door.

When Misato was about to tell him to get inside when two men armed with shotguns came running up to the large man.

"Move it fat ass!" The first man said pointing his gun at Dukes.

Fred looked at the man, smirked and grabbed the barrel of the gun, crushing it. He then grabbed the head of the stunned man and slammed it into the side of the truck, leaving behind a good sized dent in it. He then stepped up to the other man who had been to shocked at his friend's end to move, and Fred punched his head right off. Sending it flying several yards away.

Misato was about to comment when a man flung the door Bradley had been guarding, only to be met with a 9mm round to the face, courtesy of Bradley. Another man came up and made grab for Asuka who was sitting closest to the door, only to meet the same fate. Bradley leaned his head out the door slightly to see that the men were coming from the back where Wade was. The men had apparently realized that they were no match for the sword swinging mad man and were going directly for the truck. Chris saw four men heading for his door, he threw his pistol to the ground and aimed his hand for the group.

"What are you doing?" Asuka asked hiding behind him.

"This." Chris said coldly as a bolt of lightning shot out of his finger tips and went straight for the four men, hitting and killing them all.(2)

Asuka's eyes widened.

Shinji and Rei who Misato was currently laying on to protect them, were watching Fred taking a barrage of bullets and acting like they were flies.

Ritsuko was looking out the back of the truck and saw Wade swinging his katanas at amazing speeds, cutting down five men in a moment, while seven already lay dead at his feet.

More men were swarming out of the alleys surrounding the street. The group was bunkered down waiting for the attack to be over.

They were met by either a blockade of bullets fired out of the precise and deadly guns of Agent Zero, or sliced and diced by victor and his claws.

Zero ran at a group of about ten men with about five following them. Zero swung his arms down from above his head and fired his guns dropping the group of ten men like they were dominos being knocked down by a child, he seized a sub-machine gun from one of them before it even hit the ground and fired it blowing holes in the five behind the others.

Misato peered out of the window to see Victor surrounded by about seven men, or they were surrounded by him. She couldn't tell with Victor grabbing a man by the throat pulling him into the path of several bullets as a human shield, threw the dead man aside, slit the throats of two near by others in just a second and jumping several feet in the air and landing on about three men.

Fred was currently throwing men away as they bum rushed him trying to defeat the man.

Chris had taken to fighting with a combination of his pistol and his bolts.

Wade was slicing bullets in mid-air and sending them behind him as he pirouetted toward a surviving man near his truck.

Wraith had taken out his pistol and while he tried to get the truck out of there he fired a few rounds making the men who tried to come from the front only target him more.

"Fuck this!" He shouted then bamphed behind the back seat grabbed Misato, Shinji, and Rei and bamphed about a block away where they could still hear the gunfire but were relatively safe.

"Stay here." He said calmly and disappeared with a bamph. He soon returned with a startled Ritsuko and Asuka.

He disappeared again and didn't appear until a few minutes later, except he was walking down the street followed by Wade, Zero, Bradley, Fred, Victor, and he was holding a battle shotgun with an attached grenade launcher. The group was bloody, but not from them but the enemy.

The NERV group stared at them like they were some sort of ancient gods of war that had stepped off the battle field. In the end the NERV casualties were one driver, the enemy casualties were forty-two unidentified men.

Six Hours Later

The group had reported into the conference and not even caring about it. The NERV crew because they were too shaken by the bloodbath that they had witnessed, and The Weapon X crew didn't care because they didn't need to. In the end the new company couldn't get any attention because they sounded too much like the Jet Alone robot incident.

The two teams currently were sitting in the pilots' hotel room. Wraith and Chris were staring at the floor, Wade and Victor were conversing about who had gotten more enemies, Zero was leaning against the wall, and Fred was eating a sandwich. (3)

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT EARLIER!" Misato yelled suddenly, tired of the silence between the group.

Everybody from Weapon X looked to Zero. He sighed and pushed off the wall slightly.

"After Second Impact, some anomalies started to occur in America and a few other countries. The UN was too busy dealing with the recovery effort of the world to care so they went largely unchecked. The anomalies were people with special powers. Mutants." He explained. He waited a moment to let the information sink in.

"The US made a special program to find, kill, or use these mutants. Weapon X."

"We are all mutants the program found some use in and wanted us to be apart of a team that deals with mutants and other problems." John added.

"We all have abilities that make us unique. Victor has a healing factor which allows him to heal from any wound in just minutes, Wade and I have enhanced reflexes and speed, Chris is a technopath and can shoot bursts of lightning. John can teleport, and Fred's indestructible."

"Some of us have also been given an artificial healing factor." Chris piped up.

The NERV group was quiet and while unsure about the situation they were sure of one thing.

Team X was not to be messed with.

Authors Notes: Yeah! I Updated! I chose to make this chapter a pure action chapter and I wanted to show off the powers of Team X. I think I did pretty good.

1- Yeah I stole that from the Spider Man movie SO WHAT?

2- I did give Chris his powers from the comics, because I wanted him to fight a little more than the movie.

3- Hey a man's gotta eat.

REVIEW PLEASE!!!
