Misato woke up on her desk in Nerv. Something didn't feel right, she's still wearing her uniform and as memory serves she left Nerv years ago. On the ground unconscious is Maya, Ritsuko and Hyuga.
"Was it all a dream?" Misato wondered. Was the events of 3rd impact just a bad nightmare? No, they still had their WILLE uniforms. She approaches the knocked out Ritsuko.
"Ritsuko." she shakes her.
Ritsuko moves a little and mutters something. She opens her eyes to see Misato.
"What happened? Why are we back at Nerv?"
"I don't know, something doesn't feel right.."
Maya and Hyuga wake up. The speaker blares and a voice is heard.
"If you are wondering, your weapons are underneath ze desk"
The four get up to retrieve their weapons, they are all tied in a rather large bow.
"Tch, cute." Maya growled as she retrieves her M1216 shotgun.
"I wonder who did this..." Hyuga questioned as he inserts another clip in his SVU-AS. He notices that his ammo has been refilled which was strange.
"Okay, now where's my weapons..." Ritsuko wondered, she notices dual five-seven pistols and an uzi, attached to the guns is a note reading "Too OP, sorry for the nerf".
"Great, I've been buffed." The scientist sighs in disappointment.
"Enough complaining, lets move out." Misato ordered as she loads her executioner revolver.
The four WILLE personnel get out of the office, Nerv looks different now, it looks more ruined and damaged. The number 115 is scribbled all over the MAGI system, next to the MAGI system is a splatter on the floor, the splatter is shaped like a human body. In front of the command center is Lilith's head on top of a pile of dead Eva looking beings.
"Maya check the systems."
Maya nods in response and holsters her shotgun over her shoulder, she checks the systems, the screen is written in reverse.
"Dammit, its hacked!" she grumbles.
She tries to override the hack. Its successful as the loading begins, as the bar reaches to 99%, a screaming face resembling Lilith appears on system. Maya jumps at the sight, the command screen fizzes and shows the same thing. The screaming is really powerful.
"Maya shut that off!" Ritsuko advised.
"Yes Ma'm!" she shuts off the system and the screens go black.
"What happened here?" asked Hyuga as he looked at the corpses hanged by hooks through their throats. It made Hyuga sick.
"I don't know...But it looks like some type of ritual." Ritsuko replied.
"Or a part of instrumentality." Misato observed. The human instrumentality project was to combine all souls and form a singular being, a sacrifice if you think. So far the project is really shady and it's true purpose is unknown at the minute.
The four hear gunshots in a distance, they turn to see a group of people firing at an unknown enemy. The first person an African-American and appears to be homeless, the second has a mustache and is wearing a green vest and khaky shorts, the third is man wearing a slightly torn-up shirt with a tie along with glasses and a beard, the final is a woman wearing a tied flannel red shirt and worker gloves on her hands, she also wears faded blue jeans with some tears on it along with some ammo pouches strapped on to it, she is brunette and wears her hair in a short pony-tail along with a hat.
The mustache man fired his M8A1 at four zombies while the African-American took down a running zombie with an old fashioned revolver, the nerd fired an unusual weapon that almost looks like a toy except it shoots glowing green balls, the woman has the same weapon but looks more like an actual ray gun and fires a three-burst shot.
"Lets not stand here, we gotta help!" ordered Misato, the rest of her crew ran towards the group with weapons firing at the horde of zombies. The entire horde was decimated due too much fire-power.
"Well, I guess your military then." noticed the woman who spoke in a rather farm girlish accent.
"Kind of, telling by my observations: their paramilitary and the woman in the red coat is their commanding officer." observed the nerd.
"Oh crap, I don't know anything and I didn't release information to no one!" panicked the mustache man.
"Oh shut up stupid Stu, if they were after us they would killed us first then the zombies." advised the African-American who is clearly angry he turns to Misato.
"You guys broken arrow or something?" he asks.
"Your observation skills are poor Russman, telling by their uniforms, their not part of broken arrow. Try reading their insignia, it reads WILLE, oh wait, you don't know how to read." the nerd hautingly observed.
"Hmph, show off" Russman growled.
The farm girl approaches Misato.
"Thanks for helping us, names Misty." she greeted Misato.
"Misato Katsuragi, pleasure to meet you."
"Japanese huh? I think I know some words."
"Um Misty, I don't konichi-wa is the only one you know, not judging your cultural intellegence by any means."
Misty grinned a little. After watching those anime shows on the bus.
"Oh really Marly?"
"Ahem" she looks at Misato.
"ので、 "エイリアン"は彼の脳のサンプルを取ることではないでしょう、彼が眠るとき口ひげとあそこにあの男はアルミホイルの帽子を身に着けている。(That man over there with the mustache wears a tinfoil hat when he sleeps so the "Aliens" wouldn't take samples of his brain.)" spoke Misty in perfect Japanese.
"Well...That escalated quickly" commented the nerd.
"Anyway...I would like you to introduce my group to you." Misty points to the nerd.
"That's Marlton."
Marlton adjusts his glasses.
"Greetings, I am the groups scientist and sort of like a medic." Misato knew him and Huyga would along. Maybe Ritsuko and Maya too.
"That's Russman"
The man smelled like garbage and looked a little too old to be fighting.
"And finally, stupidinger."
Samuel turns to Misty with a flash of anger.
"Its Stuhlinger!"
"Yeah, yeah, quit yer yappin"
"Well at least I was on the good guys, you let Maxis take over so this whole thing is you, Marlton and Russman's fault, nothing personal Russman!"
Misty opens her mouth and points at Stuhlinger but closes her mouth.
"Okay he has a point."
Suddenly more gun-fire is heard this time its in the bottom, the group looks down to see four men running from a rather large zombie covered in barb-wires and armor. All of them are wearing prison outfits from the 1930's.
"Ah shit, I don't know who to blame, Arlington or the fucking hole!" commented the black haired man.
"Well keep shootin boys, he'll be down!" ordered the short haired man.
"For the first time, I don't whats going on!" panicked the man wearing a blue Greek fisherman hat.
"Wait, I think I know how to take him down!" The man in the white shirt pulled out a flaming tomahawk. He threw it at the brute, hitting it successfully but no effect.
"Ah shit, that worked last time."
The zombie raises his giant club but Hyuga shoots it off. The zombie turns and roars at them.
"ASSISTING SUSPECTS IS A SERIOUS OFFENSE!" blared the zombie.
"Woah, they talk." awed Hyuga as he continues to fire his sniper rifle. The two groups fire their weapons at the gigantic zombie, he struggles from the shots and he pulls out two smoke grenades only for them to be shot off by Misato. The zombies falls on his knee's.
"I HAD A WIFE...AND A SON!" he roared as he falls to the ground dead.
"Okay, I feel like a complete dick..." commented Misty while still reloading her ray gun mark II.
"For the first time, I pity these creatures." Marlton assured.
Russman was silent.
"Poor guy." Samuel winced.
"Hey, thanks guys!" the man with black hair
"Hey you with the shotgun, can you take off your top!?" the man with the white shirt asked rudely. He is responded with a sniper round grazing his hair.
"Take that as a no Billy."
"Yeah, after all your the womanizer of this group Finn!" Billy replied.
"Hey Sal, can we trust those guys?" asked the man with the hat.
"Well they saved our asses so yeah. Sure you don't know anything about this Weasel?"
"I have no clue where are and whats with the huge TV and the decapitated giant head on a pile of dead red giants."
Misty looks at Lilith's head in front of her. It creeped her out, always smiling at them and blood coming from its eyes.
The men walk up to the command center, Billy stares at the large head in front of them.
"Hey Finn, tell me if its looking at me, I'll knock its lights out." Billy said.
"I think its dead." Sal commented.
"Guys, I swear this isn't a trick of the eye but I think I saw it move slightly."
"Maybe it'll come to life if we keep makin eye contact."
The men reached to the command center. Maya points her M1216 shotgun at them.
"Hey, whats the damage tomboy!?" Finn commented while putting away his Galil assault rifle. and raising his hands.
"Your uniform, these guys are criminals!" Maya growled.
"Okay, we mean no harm. Just passin by."
"Maya stand down." Misato ordered
Maya lowers her gun. The first man approaches her.
"Names Salvatore Deluca, that's Billy Handsome, Finn O'Leary, and Albert Arlington."
"Colonel Misato Katsuragi-"
Billy jumps at the sight.
" Holy shit, everyone stand straight, Colonel on deck!" Billy stands up straight and holsters his LSAT over his arm. He then salutes Misato. Billy couldn't believe a woman is in the military but due to his experiences in the Navy, he has to respect the officer.
"Billy, what do you think you doin? Your embaressin us!"
"I'm not, its proper protocol, she's military."
After introducing everyone, the three groups settle down with no idea what to do. Billy and Russman head towards the vending machines looking for some supplies while Finn talks to Maya on what year it is and Marlton, Risuko, and Weasel head towards the Eva holding pens along with Hyuga.
"Wow, that thing is organic?" Marlton asked in wonder while looking at unit 02.
"A bit creepy but cool." commented Weasel.
Meanwhile Misty, Misato, Sal, and Stuhlinger talk about whats going one and if there's any zombies. The screen begins to glow and speaker screech.
"Hello my friends, I am Dr Ludvig Maxis and today is going to be the last day that all of you will get along. Because, today is a competion of survival and wits...Today is grief. The rules of grief are to deter your enemies progress of survival such as destroying the box or activating traps, your not to kill your enemy, it results in the enemy being stunned. Only group will survive. Maxis out"
The screen shows a timer and its 50 seconds for the groups to regroup. In the holding pens, Weasel punches Marlton in the face causing him to fall to the ground, Hyuga shoots Weasel but the shots only slow him down. Meanwhile Billy steals any food he can find while Russman does the the same thing, both greet each other in good luck and run off. The green run, WILLE, and Alchatraz crew split up to their own individual areas of the facility.
The timer runs out and all doors are sealed. "Round one" the speaker said.
Meanwhile in the Wunder. Shinji/Dempsey ran towards the bloody hallways of the ship, he stops and throws up. As they continue running, they spot a door and open it only to have Mari and Asuka point their guns at them. Dempsey/Shinji responds by aiming his magnum, he notices someone else has entered the scene, he turns causing Asuka and Mari to do the same. In front of the CCTV screen is Reitofen.
"Okay, I know zis is bad but how about zis, we team up to fight a common foe! Just like old times!"
"Are you serious Richtofen? I would rather die than work with you.." Shinji/Dempsey growled as he tightens his grip on the gun.
"But I know how to overthrow Maxis!"
He lowers his gun.
"Okay, how?"
"Ve need to get out of zis filthy ship first and travel to the Nerv headquarters! There ve should get the Rokubungi device and teleport us to our next destination."
Dempsey/Shinji sighed as he lowers his magnum.
"Okay, were working together."
