Let's Pick A Fight announcement
Author's Note: First off I want to say I apologize for the long wait, I've been dealing with both school and family matters at the moment, so i apologize for that. So I've had some time to think (a lot of time, actually….) and I want to end Let's Pick A Fight as a "To be continued" story. The last chapter built up that rising fear and peril for the heroes and I feel that the story should continue in a possible sequel to the story.
If you want me to continue Let's Pick A Fight or create a sequel, please review the story and let me know your overall opinions.
For now, I'm in the process of writing a new story, hopefully I can make a chapter 1 for it close to Thanksgiving or to end of November.
But for now here is a preview of the story so far.
"Entry Plug has been inserted, LCL is now being pumped into the Plug."
"Ego meter is rising steadily."
"Subsystems connected and are a go."
"Pilot Synchronization is now at 50% and rising steadily, sir."
"Plugsuit calibration now completed, energy conduits and A-12 clip connectors now active."
"Good, and the restraints on the pilot?"
"Locked and prepped for testing."
"Excellent, prepare the Dummy System for Phase 1, then switch to the Devil System in Phase 2."
"Yes sir." Men and women personnel moved equipment and themselves from the large mech, a 40 meter living machine of dark colors. It's design was close to that of the deadly Tokyo-3 Unit 01, but went for the more dark smoothed out and living look more than to show its technology.
The Evangelion codenamed Null Unit had one antenna on either of its head sides and no visible eye holes nor physically noticeable sensors. But unlike Unit 01, its teeth were visible and not covered by armor; sharp and almost triangular. Its overall color was a dark blue with orange details and glowing blue details all across its body.
"Beginning final system checks."
"Threshold activation in 3...2...1.." the machine, Evangelion Unit Null, did not move to respond.
"No reaction."
"Harmonization Value is 0."
"Increase pressure to 3.5."
"Understood, 2.5 and rising….. 2.9….. 3.4….. And 3.5!"
Nothing.
"No reaction, sir!"
"Electrocardio reactions?"
"Nothing sir, no reaction."
"Equipment Tolerance Upper Limit is reaching the limit."
"Continue monitoring till reaction is made."
"Yes, sir." Abruptly, the head of the dark blue and orange lined EVA gave a slight twitch in movement. "Pulse confirmed; Activation underway."
Inside the Unit Null's Entry Plug, the EVA pilot looked through his EVA's eyes, spotting multiple people on arm like stations looking his EVA up and down. To them, they were restarting the EVA; to the pilot, however…..
They were imprisoning them.
A red flashing alarm came to life across the NERV US 2nd Branch. "Wait, something's wrong…. The EVA it's….!"
"It's what?"
"Abnormal Harmonization Alert!" an alarm stated on the speakers of the EVA Cage chamber.
"What?!"
"Pressure is still rising… 50, 60, 70…. 80, it's not stopping!" Both the pilot, and his EVA, roared in the chamber powerfully. "It's passing over 100!"
The EVA started to struggle in its restraints, growling and roaring as the arms and personnel rushed away in fear. "What the hell is going on?!"
"Control Signal is being rejected from inside the Entry Plug!"
"Impossible!... Cut all circuits, NOW!"
"No good, the systems ignoring us!"
"Evacuate the hanger bay, and disconnect everything! Lock it all down!"
"Negative, nothing is registering!"
"Attention," a speaker spoke once more. "Catapult voltage increasing!"
"Who the hell gave the order to?!"
"No one sir, the main systems working itself!"
Null Unit growled and pulled on its restraints, looking side to side in anger before up to see the ceiling catapult hatch unlocking. "Who's opening the catapult hatch?!"
"Catapult is now connected," the speaker stated once more.
"We've lost all power!"
The Null Unit pilot looked up under their mask and smiled under it as they felt the catapult unlock, letting it rise off the ground.
"The catapult just took off!"
"Damn!" the NERV 2 Commander glared through the camera feed as the now fastly rising EVA. "Deploy any gunships and air jets we have in the area! Though I doubt the military will stop that demon…."
The EVA growled and continuously struggled to move out of its restraints, ignoring the rapidly approaching light above it.
Outside
The air was thick with the feeling of blindness via blowing sand, blowing out to reveal the remnants of the old Area 51 base and a large, metal build pyramid with the NERV insignia on its form.
In the calm sand was altered, however, with the sound of hissing and creaking metal doors. The doors hissed with air and opened fully, letting the now calmer Null Unit view the surface.
Once they'd arrived, the restraints holding the EVA unlocked, letting it step into the sand. It struggled to stand for a brief moment, its hand twitching for a second of so. The EVA looked from side to side, before releasing a loud roar of might.
In the sand dunes, large AA cannons and missile launchers rushed out, raining hell on the dark purple EVA. Null Unit moved into a full sprint, weaving through the line clouds of missiles. As the EVA ran by the launchers and cannons, the aftershock from it destroyed the turrets.
From the metal pyramid, fast jets and gunships sprung out in a hurry, engines roaring and moving to find the EVA.
Null Unit's pilot jerked and pushed the butterfly like controls to their limits, with warnings and red flashes all across the screen they saw through.
The pilot glanced behind, spotting multiple large airships moving forward. The EVA turned for a moment and held ground at the surrounding gunships.
The gunships fired missiles the size of houses which hit the giant organic mech with ease, but failed when detonated.
"Target is hit," a pilot stated from one of the gunships. "Wait, smoke is clearing…"
The Null Unit stood out in the clouds, AT-Field active before it shut off. It reached out in the blink of an eye and took the wing of a gunship.
The Null Unit growled as it swung the large gunship, sending into several passing jets and a fellow gunship before running, rushing out of the bases borders and into the wastelands.
"All ships, full stop!" the jets and gunships either spun around or stopped at the edge. "Command, the EVA has exited NERV-2 borders; it's heading to Old California."
"Damn, they're heading for open ocean," the commander growled, slamming a fist to the table. He sighed in annoyance; the EVA was heading for Asia, it's the only place Angels and other Evangelions are known to be at. "Contact NERV HQ, they're gonna want to know about this."
"Yes, sir."
