Chapter Seven: Road to Sadness and Hatred.
A few days later, it turns out that NERV has been given Eva Unit-03 from what remains of the American Branch as the need for extra Evas has been evident with the arrival of Godzilla. But before it could be used for combat, the Eva needed a test pilot to see if the prototype mecha and the chosen pilot was Asuka Langley Shikinami.
"This better not be a permanent change." Asuka said with an obvious angry tone in her voice.
"Well Unit-02 is still being purged of radiation it received from Godzilla's bite so once it's squeaky clean and we get a suitable pilot, you can get your Eva back." Misato explained as she drove her ward to the test grounds.
In that moment, Asuka gets a phone call and she looks to see it was Shinji calling her.
"Oh what does that twirp want?" Asuka grumbled as she answered the phone "Yeah?"
"Hey Asuka! Me and Rei just wanted to call you to say good luck." Shinji says as he felt that he needed to call her for some reason.
"Oh?" Asuka said with some shock at Shinji's kindness as a slight blush was on her face, as for some reason she was taken aback by Shinji's kindness "Ah well I am the greatest pilot of all time!"
"Also Rei's wants to say something to you." Shinji says as he passes the phone to Rei.
"Wondergirl?" Asuka asks.
"Thank for being my friend." Rei says shyly as despite Asuka's anger, the redhead has been nice to her when they hung out.
With nothing else to add, Asuka smiles and says "No need to be sentimental wondergirl, I'll be back." With that she hangs up the phone.
"Aw did NERV's cutest couple made you blush!" Misato teased the German girl.
"Knock it off!" Asuka pouts as she turns to the window as they reach near the test grounds.
Back with Shinji and Rei, the two were at Misato's apartment as Shinji teaches Rei how to cook.
"How do you feel about having a new Eva?" Shinji asks.
"I think it is suitable to deal with the new threats." Rei answers.
"Well I just hoe Asuka can-" Shinji was about to say before Misato's pet Penguin PenPen runs in the kitchen in terror as he grabs Shinji's leg.
"Hey what's up?" Shinji tries to comfort the warm water bird.
"WARK!" PenPen says in penguin as it was obvious something spooked him.
"Shinji..." Rei points out as she and Shinji began to hear the neighborhood dogs barking in fear.
At the same time at the Marine Life Research Center, the scientist and staff began to notice all the marine life's behavior was erratic behavior. It was as if they wanted to escape their tanks.
A few miles away, Mari Illustrious Makinami was about to continue her spying as she looks up to see hundreds if not thousands of birds were flying in once direction, away from the Unit-03 test site.
"Hmmm...this is bad. This is very bad." Serizawa says as he stops his field research at the remains of old Tokyo as he sees thousands of rats escape the old sewers and run in one direction.
"I've seen this before, dear god there's another one on the loose." Serizawa says with fear as she runs to his jeep and drives towards NERV. He had to warn them before they activate Unit-03 before it's too late.
"Why do these plug suits have to be so revealing?" Asuka complains about her test plug suit's "properties" as she sits in Unit-03's entry plug.
"It helps with synch ratio." Ritsuko says flatly as she drinks her coffee.
"Are we ready?" Misato asks.
"Inserting entry plug now." One of the tech staff says.
In that moment Asuka awaits the test to begin before suddenly the world around her turns black, then suddenly she is "pushed" further by an unknown force as she could see a show of colors and children laughing. Outside, however, the Eva roars to life as its eyes glow an evil red.
"What's going on?!" Misato demands.
"The entry plug is getting dangerously deep, she won't be human if she goes deeper!" Ritsuko states frantically.
"Eject the plug now!" Misato orders.
In that moment the plug is ejected, but it stopped by what looks like neon blue organic flesh. This also seemed to enraged the Eva as it struggles from its restraints.
"Oh got its an Angel!" Misato says in terror as the worst case possible had happen until they hear a massive booming sound as the earth shook.
'Seismic attack?!" Ritsuko asks.
"Negative, there's...something else arriving!" A computer staff answers.
SCHREEOOOOCH
Everyone turns silent, even the Angel possessed Eva, as they all heard the screeching sound. Out of instinct, Misato runs outside to see what's happening.
"Misato don't!" Ritsuko wars before the earth began to shake again.
"Please be safe Asuka." Misato whispers as she looks out the window and sees something even her night terrors could create.
"Oh god..." She simple states as suddenly her world was consumed in a white light.
SKKKREEEEOOOOOONNNNNKKKKK
It was then the entire test base is consumed by blue energy and what looks like yellow lightening.
"What..." Shinji says in shock as he and Rei opens the door to see Section 2 agents tell them the news.
Several minuets later, Shinji was in Unit-01 to investigate what happened at the test area.
"I hope Asuka and Misato are okay." Shinji says with worry.
"We sent a rescue team there Shinji. Just focus on the mission." Maya tells the fourteen year old with comfort.
"Yeah, but without Misato I'm in the dark here." Shinji says nervously as this is the first mission without Misato to help him strategically.
"This mission is under the Commander Ikari's orders himself." Makoto Hyuga informs the Third Child.
"My father?" Shinji says in shock.
"And me as well Shinji." Dr. Serizawa says over the coms.
"Doctor?" Shinji asks.
"I'm here just in case the threat is not an Angel. And Rei here says be careful." Serizawa informs.
With needed confidence boost, Shinji takes his Eva to the blast zone to see what happened. In that instant he could see a series of explosions and what looks like lighting bolts coming from the ground before something at blinding speeds flies into the sky. It was so fast Shinji couldn't tell what it was.
"The hell was that?" Shinji asks himself.
"Get me a visual feed." Gendo Ikari orders.
"No can do. The camera have shut down from an EMP and Eltrogravital pulse." Maya tells the Commander.
"EMP and Electrogravital?" Serizawa asks himself as though some other Kaijus he had hunted down emitted EMPs, the Electrogravital is something alien to his research.
"Shinji, continue heading to the blast zone with caution. We have no idea what we're dealing with." Gendo orders.
"Yes sir." Shinji says as he continued marching.
It was then he sees something waliking in the distance from the smoke, it looked like an black Evangelion.
"An Eva?" Shinji says in confusion.
"Analyze." Gendo orders.
"Analyzing. The Magi analysis is complete, it's blue but deteriorating." Makoto says in shock.
"The Angel's dying?" Vice Commander Fuyutsuki asks in shock and fear.
"This is not in the scenario at all." Gendo says internally.
Shinji looks to see that the Eva's back had been melted and the entry plug is still in the Eva.
"Asuka..." Shinji whispers in worry.
It was then a booming noise could be heard from the smoke with a large silhouette could be seen.
"There something in the smoke." Shinji sates in fear as he makes his Eva step back.
Though most of the NERV staff have no idea what they're seeing, Serizawa and Rei knew exactly what it was.
"Shinji, you need to run now!" Serizawa warns Shinji.
"Huh?!" Shinji asks as he never seen Serizawa so afraid.
"Serizawa I'm in command!" Gendo warns the doctor. He then turns to the main screen and orders "Shinji you must engage."
But that didn't register to the Third Child as he could see a massive tail swain from the smoke and the large shadow advances towards him before the figure is revealed. What comes from the smoke was Shinji's first time seeing the dreaded kaiju Godzilla. He simply stands still in terror as Godzilla looks at him with what can described as a being on the level of God himself as the kaiju unleashed a massive roar.
SSSSSSKKKKKRRRREEEEEOOOOOONNNNNKKKKK!
