Chapter 3 - Opening the first can of Whoop-Ass


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



[Some forest outside Tokyo-3]

"........!!!" Shinji stared at his appointed unit.

Before him was the most fearsome of all the Evangelions ever created...

Unit-01.

The ancient beast seemed to be grinning maliciously, daring if Shinji has the guts to control him. The eyes glowed an unholy color green. The ruby-like orb at it's chest was emitting a faint brilliant shine. It's dark cape flutters violently behind. Unit-01 was genuflecting before the 'Prodigy'. A giant palm was lying on the ground, beckoning the boy to come hither.

Shinji sees, something other than the being looming over him.

Death.

It was Death, personified.

The young Ikari was petrified. He lurched forward and fell on his knees, his hands cradling his head.

Gathering his last ounce of courage he yelled out from his heart.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!!!"

In response, the unit's eyes flashed briefly, blinding Shinji.




Rebirth.

Unleash the power within.

Power to change, power to fight.

Power to live.




Shinji re-opened his light-pierced eyes.

"...But.............why? Why me?"

*KAAABOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

The young Ikari turned around.

Beyond the tall trees, he could see the same giant that tried to get him earlier from a very far off distance. It was getting bombed a lot, yet it seemed futile for the army to waste their ammo on the dark creature.

The serpentine head howled like a hyena on steroids. With it's bone-armored fist, it grabbed at the flying VTOLs (Vertical Take-Off and Land planes) and threw them at the tanks bellow.

The situation seemed hopeless.

Just then, another titan arose to do battle. It was Unit-00.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Battle site at Tokyo-3]



As the cycloptic blue unit emerged from it's launch pad, the serpent-like head of the hell spawn charged after it wit it's sword like spikes protruding from it's palms.

The pilot of Unit-00 apparently knows judo as he or she demonstrates grace at flipping the demon in lightning speed. Unit-00 occasionally stabs the enemy whenever charges past it with it's progressive knife. After a few more flips, the monster got aggravated and tried another tactic.

It fired it's upside-down cross explosion on the Eva. The Eva got caught off-guard as the blast blew the robot far into an armaments building. Unfortunately, that armaments building holds very volatile weapons. Thus, another explosion occurred.

The Eva was rendered useless as it is unable to do combat as most of it's appendages had been broken at the joints, most of the armor has also melted off it's interior flesh

An evil laugh was again heard from the hell spawn as it marched towards the fallen unit, apparently unsatisfied.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Some forest outside Tokyo-3]



"..........I see." Shinji deducted as he witnessed Unit-00 getting it's ass kicked from afar.

The boy faced his demon once again.

"Fine, you win. Just please, don't fail me on this..."

It must have been his imagination but to him, the grin on the purple unit just got wider and more menacing.

The young Ikari shivered as he climbed through the outstretched arm. He hesitated because of the danger but after a few close calls, the boy finally arrived and manually ejected the entry plug.

After recalling how to start the Eva from his first experience, he proceeded with the commands to start the Eva's processing computers.

Soon, LCL flooded his entry plug. The left screen stated that he had only 1 minute and 17 seconds of power left.

"Crap! How am I supposed to fight with only this much energy?!!!" he groaned.

<I must act fast then...> the boy concluded.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[NERV Fortress headquarters]



"-Sir! We have located Unit-01's energy readings! It's current position can't be determined through the tracking system due to internal damage from the activation test, but the cameras could pinpoint it's trajectory!" a technician reported from his console.

"Where is it heading?" Gendo asked.

"It's heading towards the target, Sir!"

"The power left from the internal power supply has only 59 seconds left!" another technician stated.

"Do we have any information on the pilot of Unit-01?"

"Sir, the pilot life signs systems for Unit-01 has not been repaired yet after the activation test! We can't determine the pilot's status!" Dr. Ritsuko said.

"What's the current status on Rei?" Misato asked.

"The pilot is currently unconscious, sir!"

"Eject Unit-00's entry plug!"

"The ejection mechanics are malfunctioning!"

"WHAT?!!!"

<Help is on the way.> Gendo thought as he observed Unit-01 through the monitors.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Battle site at Tokyo-3]



The evil entity held the cycloptic unit up into the sky and was preparing to throw it at another building when it was rudely interrupted.

A massive whirlwind that suddenly appeared out of nowhere caught the demon and it's prey in the storm's eye. Ice started to accumulate over the entity due to the cold temperature that synthetic storm had made.

Unit-00 suddenly disappeared from it's clutches as it threw the Eva over the torrent winds.

Then it saw a shadow above him.

He looked up and saw a huge dragon. The purple Bahamut was carrying the fallen cyclops away from the battlefield.

<Hey! I'm getting the hang of this!> Shinji contemplated on how well his piloting skills have has improved.

He then dropped the battered blue unit on some sort of parking lot and flew away, heading towards the enemy.

<6 seconds left! > Shinji thought as he willed his dragon to burst forward faster.

The hell spawn tried to free itself after having it's legs frozen to the scorched ground.

The draconic unit collided with the monster in mid-transformation, horn first. Both toppled over the ground and rolled over some small buildings and cars.

Miraculously, the flimsy-looking horn didn't snap or bend at the impact but imbedded itself instead at the demon's chest. The enemy howled in pain as it held on Unit-01's head and pulled the horn free.

It then gave the purple dervish a sucker punch on the face. The demon's fist was covered with bloodied spikes.

"Aaargh! You Bastard!" Shinji gritted his teeth as he held his right hand over his right eye.

Shinji was having trouble with his vision due to the blow. Unit-01's right eye was bleeding profusely

The demon caught Shinji unaware as it shot another upside-down cross explosion.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[NERV Fortress headquarters]



"5!"
"4!"
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"

"Unit-01's Internal battery supply has reached red line sir!"

"Send the 7th flanks to divert the enemy's attention away from unit-01! Retrieve both Units on the double!"

"Sir! Unit-01 is reactivating itself!"

"That's not possible! The internal battery supply could only support the eva for only 5 minutes on minimum level gain mode and 1 minute on higher-level use! That can only mean that the S2 organ has been tapped and is now powering the Eva!" Ritsuko exclaimed.

"The S2 organ has decayed thousands of years ago, It can't work now." Fuyutsuki stated.

"Then how does the Eva power itself?" Misato asked.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Unit-01 entry plug]

A Heartbeat.

Shinji's heartbeat was resonating with the Entryplug. It was getting louder every minute.


Wake up.


<Huh?> Shinji's mind was being contacted again.


We're not done yet!


"..."


Let's Go.


"OK."


The boy glanced at the power supply menu on his right screen.



"What the?!!! It should be empty by now! Why does it say 'unlimited'?!!!"




The S2 Organ has deteriorated; your heart is the new power plant.




Shinji frantically checked to feel if there are any abnormalities that were installed on his chest. There was none.


He then realized that the enemy was charging towards him.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Battle site at Tokyo-3]



"Aaaaah!" Shinji yelled as the demon narrowly missed him as shinji sidesteped, tripping the serpentine fiend. The enemy fell face-first.

"What should I do now?!!!" He asked the voice in his head.




Use the progressive knife from your right shoulder pylon.




The right shoulder pylon opened to reveal...............nothing.
Shinji panicked.
"It's not there!!!"



Uh... try the left one then.



"It's not there either!"



Crap, I must have lost it after stabbing Unit-07...

We've got no choice but to rely on our last resort...



"What?"



The eyes of Unit-01 suddenly flashed as it ran to the nearest hill. It crouched and slammed it's right fist on the ground.

Blood-like LCL was dripping freely from the cuts on the arm to the new hole in the ground. When the bloody pool got as big as a pond, Unit-01 pulled it's buried arm from the ground.

It also pulled something else.



Lucifer's sword.



The sword was coated with blood, the shape was irregular and wicked looking. The blade was made of unearthly metals, it' color was ebony. The edge was the sharpest there ever was. Shinji noticed that there was a silver orb inbeded on the handle. It glowed like the moon.


The hell spawn stood up and was preparing another blast.




Attack now, before the blade takes over!!!



Shinji dashed towards the enemy.

"Chaaaaaaaaarge-!!"

"-oof!"

The purple titan jerked back it's head in pain as it collided with an AT-field barrier.
The young Ikari got pissed. He slashed at the AT-field and it ripped open like paper.

"Now you're going to get it!"

As Shinji willed His Unit to slice the demon's head in two, it suddenly jumped back in fear.

"Come back here, you coward!" The boy yelled.

Finding out that it couldn't run anymore, the hell spawn extracted it's long metallic spikes from it's palm and charged forward.


Shinji danced around it's failed attempts to impale him. In one swift motion, the young Ikari slashed diagonally.

Time stood still as both titans didn't move for 15 seconds.

Shinji exhaled as he watched his enemy's severed head, shoulder and arm fall away from their previous owner.

Dark blood flowed freely from the decapitated corpse.



Quick! Drop the sword!



Shinji stabbed the wicked blade at the scorched earth and stepped back.

The blood on the evil blade pooled on the ground. The Blade began to sink rapidly.

"...?!!!"

Shinji looked around him. Destruction and chaos covered the battlefield.

He also noticed that ther were tanks, recovery units and helicopters coming towards him.



Let's get out of here.



"What?"


You heard me, let's scram before they catch us!


"....."

The enigmatic purple war machine changed back to it's draconic form and flew away at top speed.

"What are we going to do now?"


Find a the other sword...


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[NERV Fortress headquarters]

"He's running away again..." Gendo sighed.

"What's the status on the target?" asked Misato.

"The target is completely silent." a technician reported.

"How about the rescue and recovery operation for Unit-00?"

"They found the Eva on a sector B-12, The pilot has received minimal damage and a slight concussion. She's being transferred to NERV Infirmary."

"What about Unit-01?" Fuyutsuki asked.

"It has fled sir! We couldn't detect it on the global camera sir, It's dragon form seemed to have a stealth effect."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[NERV Fortress (New Germany branch)]

A red-haired girl was sulking in her room.

<I finally got the best lead on that 'Prodigy' and they tell me that the bounty was called off! I didn't get to capture that blasted prey! He was supposed to be my 1000th criminal trophy!.> She fumed to herself

The computer on her desk beeped.

She went over and checked her email.

"Whoohooo! YES! The bounty was set up again! That means that I could still hunt that master criminal! Hey, what's this?!!! HE STOLE UNIT-01?!!!!"

She then laughed hysterically.

"Finally! No more renegade Labors to fight! This will be my best hunt in years!!!"

*Knock! * *Knock! *

"Hmm?"

She opened her door.

"What do you want, ma?" the girl asked.

"You and Unit-02 shall be departing for Tokyo-3 on Friday." Mrs. Sohryu replied.

"What?!!"

"The hell spawns have started their seige on the holy city. You are asked to give your piloting services to NERV Japan branch to protect the Central Dogma."

"........"

<.....I have been waiting for this moment when the entities started their attack. But I'm finally able to catch the 'Prodigy'.... What do I do? >

"Why look so glum?"

".........nothing."

"Is it about that betrothal thing again?" the countess asked her daughter.

"Now that you mentioned it... I DON'T WANT NO FREAKING ARRANGED MARRIAGE!!!" the girl screeched.

"Too bad Asuka, it's already fixed. You can't do anything about it."

"AAAAAAAARRRRGHHHHHHH!"
