Neon Genesis Evangelion Fan Fiction ❯ Inescapable Grasp of Eva, Gather of the Children ❯ Return of Eva ( Chapter 1 )

Inescapable Grasp of Eva

Chapter I Return of Eva

 

It has been well over a year since 3rd Impact, Shinji and Rei are 16, while Asuka and Toji are 15. The three `primary' children live together with their guardian, Misato Katsuragi. However, like all good things, this peace and distance from the Evangelions wasn't meant to last. SEELE has somehow returned, and all 4 old men want vengeance, and do it by means necessary. The four of them, along with 4 new pilots, will pilot the Evangelions, as they fight against SEELE, who will stop at nothing, to destroy Tokyo-3.

 

 

“What is the status of the Eva Units?” a voice asked.

 

“Unit 01 has been recovered from space along with Lance of Longinus, Unit 02 has been repaired, Units 00, and 03 have been reconstructed, Unit 04 reappeared after Third Impact ended and Canada is prepping Unit 05 for transport, same thing with Russia for Unit 06 and China for Unit 07. All of them have been outfitted with the S^2 Engine as well. NERV Eva Units 08-13 are still being constructed; I predict they will be done in two years or so, except for Unit's 08 and 09, which will probably be during the Spring Time. Also Children's 5 through 8 will arrive here with their Eva's; Unit 05 will be arriving in two weeks.” Another voice replied.

 

“Very good, we need to prepare for battle. Although Third Impact ended differently from the original intent, I don't plan to have Forth Impact instigated anytime soon. However the old men will think differently. SEELE is not happy. I want the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Child to be reinstated. Make sure the good Sub-Commander gets the message,” the first voice stated.

 

“Yes sir,” the second person replied before leaving the room.

 

“You will not have your way. I will not allow you to destroy this world for your own twisted games. Not again.”

 

It has now been well over a year when 3rd Impact occurred. Since then, things have been either awkward, or tedious. Billions of dollars/yens/euros/francs, etc. in damage from 3rd Impact, had left the world in a state of `depression', so to speak. Tokyo-3, and NERV had only recently been restored, but the time in between had not been that much fun.

 

Asuka for one had almost lost her right arm, if it were not for the medical knowledge of Ritsuko, who had returned a while after the four. She used her knowledge of regeneration and genetic manipulation, to fully heal Asuka's eye, arm, and restore her original sapphire blue from the dull brown she awoke with. Ritsuko also did a careful inspection of Rei to discover that she was pure human now, and that her red eyes and blue hair were now natural for her. She also confirmed that Shinji and Rei were in no way related now considering what has happened to her.

 

During the first half of the year, although all three were physically sound, their mental capacities were of another story. Although on the outside, Shinji showed that he was fine, he still had some problems underneath. This was exceptionally obvious whenever he interacted with people, as he always remained distant, and only spoke when spoken to, which led Misato to the decision to have him undergo therapy for a while, to help him go through some of his problems. Asuka was a different case. She was simply too arrogant, even for her own good. She had maintained her prideful wall, and pushed away any help people were offering her. After Ritsuko had healed her, she had more or less returned to her normal state, if not worse. Misato, along with Ritsuko and Shinji, finally forced her into therapy sessions as well. The end results of these sessions were rather surprising.

 

Shinji for one although was secluded in a manner of speaking, was more willing to converse with people. But that was by far from a complete change, as he still wouldn't open up that much, but he was willing to try to at least talk to people. He also helped around the medical facility where they were staying, by carrying around items, helping out doctors and such, to keep help keep his mind off the pain in his head, as well as prevent him if possible to stop his self loathing attitude, which was badly affecting him prior to 3rd Impact. Doctors found that when he was abandoned at such a young age, his mind came to the conclusion that he was worthless, a piece of trash, something not worth caring for, which resulted in his self-loathing, low self-esteemed attitude, which ended up destabilizing his mind. However, nowadays, he was more open, easier to socialize, and for Misato, a challenge to make fun of now.

 

Asuka on the other hand was a whole other case. She had erected her walls to close off her heart from love, but was more open to others. She was simply not willing to let other people's help, because to her, accepting help unless extremely needed was a sign of weakness, a sign of opening one's heart. Her doctor had trouble, as she was not willing to discuss her past beyond her college days. One could say that she was a basket case. For some time, she was an extremely dense brick wall that would just not yield. But slowly but surely, brick by brick, the doctors began to bring down her wall as they wormed their way through Asuka's past. She still had a long way to go, but as of late, she has come to terms with some of her demons, yet there were others that still haunted her badly. Despite this, there were some positive results that even Asuka had to admit. She was less often haunted by the memories of her mother in her dreams for one, she was more open to help, but to a limited basis, and she was actually nice to Shinji and Rei, to a certain degree. All in all, she was recovering.

 

Rei during this 6 month or so period was yet another different case. She had the problem of not knowing how to socialize with people, to express or understand emotions, to be able to think for herself, and whenever she talked with someone…it was either a rather dry conversation or she waited for the person to bring up a topic. She was a really tough case, and sadly every doctor that has tried to help her, at one point or another lost their patience. At one point, even she doubted that she would be able to emulate human behavior like she had planned to. But there was one who did stick with her, regardless of her personality, or lack thereof. Shinji, in between his therapy sessions and volunteer work, would spend time with her, helping her with her humanity. From him alone, she learned how to differentiate between emotions, how to express them, although that particular lesson with difficultly as Shinji mostly expressed depression or sadness, and how to make conversation, based on his lessons.

 

Although all three children had struggled to become more than they were before 3rd Impact, all of them advanced in their own ways. All of them were a step closer to become `normal' in the eyes of the general public, yet none of them could ever again consider themselves normal. They have seen and experienced far too much to ever truly escape the pain that Project E had brought them. All they could do now was simply face the pain in the eye, and deal with it. That was their only real option, but it was better than cowering before the pain and trying to hide it in their own ways.

 

During the other half of the year, it was spent mostly going through the wreckage of their old homes and pulling out whatever survived. Rei had no items of importance, save her school uniforms, which she discarded, as they no longer fit her. Shinji managed to find his SDAT player, miraculously in working condition save the batteries, and incredibly enough, his cello. How either survived, no one dared question in fear of jinxing the objects. Asuka found a few articles of clothing that still fit her, and also gave some to Rei, which incidentally fit her as well. It was later discovered that Asuka and Rei were the same size in every respect, save for a minor height difference in which Asuka was about an inch taller. During this time as well, on two particular dates, March 30th, and June 6th, were Rei's and Shinji's birthdays. Rei's was oddly enough celebrated the same day as the day they moved in, and Shinji's birthday was celebrated like any normal birthday.

 

During this period, Shinji and Asuka continued to go to therapy sessions, each of them more open to their doctors, and to the rest of the world. Rei was becoming more human by the day, and now she can freely express her emotions, converse with people, sometimes initiating ones herself, and she has learned not to use her emotionless facial expression. However, she still practices it whenever she goes out in public to places where she does not feel comfortable. Although capable of defending herself to a certain extent, she prefers to use her emotionless mask whenever she goes near her old home area or areas where crime rates were higher than the norm. Oddly enough it has proven to be useful in terms of diverting the interest of lesser criminals.

 

Also during the latter half of the year, people have begun to move back in. Toji, Kensuke, and Hikari were the first to move in, and had helped their friends out in moving, and celebrating Rei's birthday. Initially when they met the new Rei, they were somewhat skeptical, but with a little time, and some long conversations, they accepted the new Rei and treated her like any other person, Hikari being the first to open up. The boy's relation to Asuka remains brittle as ever as they still get their asses handed to them every now and then, and they as of late had discovered a new found respect of their friend, as they saw that he was harder to embarrass, and stuck up for himself more now. Pen-pen for one was glad to be back in the arms of his family, plus one more now, which he quickly grew fond of.

 

Their new home was built in the same lot as before, except that their room was much bigger, in terms of the living room, but everything else was still cramped. Asuka's room was the only real spacious one, and seemed to be able to contain three or four people in total. Shinji's room was a bit bigger, enough room for a roommate to sleep in without invading each other's personal space and cozy enough if a couple were to sleep in the room. Pen-pen's `room' was rebuilt, as the original one was more or less destroyed during 3rd Impact, and Misato once again refilled her stock of beer, which to this day still highly exasperates Shinji and Asuka.

 

(A/N: I don't believe there was a set date, or time of year 3rd Impact happened, to therefore I'm going to make up my own date of the event)

It has now been a year since 3rd Impact, and everything was going as usual in the Katsuragi residence. Shinji would be the first to wake, take a shower, and then cook breakfast. Soon after him would be Rei and Asuka, as they will be awakened by the alluring smell of breakfast, come out and join him as he sets the table, and together the three ex-pilots would enjoy breakfast. Misato would come out after they've all finished eating, having a killer hangover, grab her beer, chug it all down, and let out her usual whoop before tossing it off somewhere, grabbing another can and her plate of breakfast, plop down on in her chair at the dinning table in the kitchen, and eat. Meanwhile, the three would pack their things, and head off to school, leaving Misato behind with Pen-pen before she too leaves to go to work in NERV in her new position as the Sub-Commander. It has yet to have a Commander, but for some reason, that position was closed until further notice

 

Since it was July, no school was in progress, therefore this particular morning Shinji was on the balcony, practicing his cello, Asuka was sleeping in, despite the alluring smell of food that morning, Misato had left early, and Rei had just finished washing the dishes when she heard Shinji starting to play Kanon D-dur (Cannon in D minor I believe). Fascinated by the alluring sounds of the stringed instrument, she heads to the balcony, and watches Shinji as he plays his cello. She carefully walks onto the balcony, intent on watching him, yet not disturbing him, she moves herself to a corner, where she can get a good side view of his profile, yet remains out of his range of notice.

 

As she watches him play, she observes the movement of his hands, the way the bow moves across the string, the way his left hand moves along the neck as he plays out the appropriate notes. She also sees the joy on his face as he pours his heart into the song. Truly something to behold, as Rei rarely sees Shinji so content, so calm, that it greatly intrigues her. She sits down, and wraps her arms around her thighs as she brings her knees closer to her, resting her chin on them and closed her eyes as she continues to enjoy Shinji's music. She sighs contently as the Shinji continues to play. Soon after, he finishes playing, and opens his eyes to see Rei in the corner of his eye.

 

He looks to her and asks, “You liked what you heard?”

 

Rei opened her eyes and nods, “Hai, Shinji-kun. It was most enjoyable.”

 

“I'm glad you liked it,” he replied, sighing heavily all of a sudden, “Considering that I'm not that good.”

 

“That is not true, you are quite skilled.”

 

“Well compared to most people, I'm just your average player,” he darkly responds, before playing his cello again. Rei takes a moment to listen to the song to recognize the song as the cello part in the instrumental version of Thanatos, a rather depressing song to say the least. But nonetheless, it was music, and she closes her eyes again as she listens to him play the tune, even if it was played in such a negative manner.

 

A few hours later, Asuka had finally woken up and the children were having lunch when the emergency alarm went off. All three of them froze, dropping their foods and/or cutleries from shock. They knew that it was the Angel Alarm. They have heard it so often that it was so familiar to them, and it scared them. All the memories of battles against the Angels began to flow back in. All the pain, all the suffering, all the sadness and destruction that came from the battles against the Angels flooded back into their minds as they began to shiver, as the memories came back in full force.

 

“Why…why are they back?” Shinji weakly asks.

 

“I do not know…” Rei quietly replies. Suddenly the phone starts to ring.

 

Being the closest, Asuka slowly approaches the phone and answers, “H-hello?”

 

“Asuka, it's me, Misato! Get the other two ready to go and head downstairs. I'm picking you guys up!”

 

“Misato, what's going on? Why the hell are the Angels back?” Asuka yells into the phone.

 

“I don't know why, and it's not the Angels, we're just using the alarm. Trust me, there are no Angels. Now get ready to go.” And with that Misato hung up the phone.

 

Feeling a bit better at the fact it's not the Angels, Asuka puts the phone down and turns to her roommates, “Good news, no Angels, so get your shoes on, we're heading out!”

 

“But…if that's the case…what's happening?” Shinji asked as he gets up.

 

Asuka just shrugs her shoulders, “I don't really know I just know that Misato is picking us up. And she sounded urgent, so let's get going before she has a fit!” The other two simply nod as they quickly grab their shoes from the rack, put them on and headed out the door. When they reached the button floor, Misato had just stopped right in front of the building. The three of them quickly ran up to Misato's car and clamoured in, Asuka taking shot gun naturally, Shinji and Rei in the back. Misato quickly shifted gears, and started to drive her infamous speeds and style of driving as they tore through Tokyo-3 trying to find the nearest route to NERV.

 

As they drove, Rei spoke, “Misato-san, what is the nature of the emergency?”

 

Misato took a deep breath before responding, “There's no easy way to say this but…” her voice trails off for a moment before she found the courage to speak, “You guys need to pilot the Eva's again.” Already she knew this was affecting them negatively, just from seeing the colour from Asuka's face drained was enough. She knew her kids had suffered horrendously and to ask them to pilot was wrong and immoral, but sadly that was the only choice they had in the situation they were in.

 

Misato opens her mouth to speak when Shinji beats her to it, “Why? Why the hell do we have to pilot those things? I thought we were through with them after 3rd Impact. Why weren't the last of the Eva's destroyed?”

 

“Look Shinji, I'm sorry it has come to this, but let me explain the situation at first. We are-”

 

“What's there to explain?” he interjected, “Eva has brought us nothing but pain! I thought you understood! I thought you knew of the pain that we were going through!”

 

“SHINJI!” Misato bellowed, as he instantly fell back into his seat.

 

Misato lets out a sigh, “I'm sorry, that was harsh on my end. But the thing is, the SEELE Eva's are about to attack. They've already destroyed a few buildings, but it looks like they are intent on taking out NERV. We need you guys to take them out. Can you guys do that? Will you pilot Evangelion one more time to save NERV, and the city?”

 

“Misato I don't know about the others, but I'M ITCHING TO GET BACK IN THERE!” Asuka bellows. Out of the corner of her eye she could see Asuka was all fired up, her fists clenched tightly, her eyes displaying fury against the Eva's who had dared touch her Eva from before. Asuka still carried the long scar on her arm, and she often holds her arm, often not even realize it. Her eye on the other hand, never had a scar formed because of the surgery that was preformed to repair the damage. Since her arm healed, she on occasion rants on revenge against the MP Eva's of SEELE. Now, it seemed that her chance has come to do so. Shinji and Rei look at one another apprehensively for a moment before nodding towards the Sub-Commander.

 

“Thanks guys,” she calmly spoke as she drove through the roads, “I know it's hard for you two to actually look at your Eva's, but think of it this way. You guys can at least see your mothers again.” Shinji slightly smiled at this, however Rei maintained her stoic face and just stared straight ahead, keeping one hand on the door handle to maintain her balance as Misato stormed through the empty streets of Tokyo-3. Asuka continues to fume as she readies herself for battle. They soon reach the Geo-Front where the three quickly jump out of the vehicle and storm through the halls of NERV as they ran through the still familiar corridors to the change room. Upon entering, the proceed to their respective halves, Rei closing the curtain as she enters her half, and quickly disrobe themselves and for the first time since 3rd Impact, don on their plug suits. Upon exiting, they headed off towards the cages.

 

As they rode the elevator, Shinji had a thought, “Wait a moment…but if Unit 00 is destroyed and Unit 01 is in space, leaving Unit 02 as the only active one…who is going to pilot?”

 

“Oh no one is going to dare touch my Unit 02!” Asuka snaps out, turning to face Shinji who was standing behind the two girls.

 

“It is possible that either one of us shall co-pilot with you in Unit 02, Pilot Soryu,” Rei calmly responded, re-donning her calm emotionless mask once more. Shinji simply nodded, while Asuka continued to fume as they waited for the elevator to reach the cages. As the doors opened, the two of them were greeted by a surprise. Before them, stood the proud, fully repaired forms of Evangelion Units 00, 01, 02, and 03, their armours pristine, as they stood there, waiting for their pilots. The three of them quickly proceeded towards their entry plug.

 

They quickly mounted their plugs, as the hatch quickly sealed in the pilots. After a moment of adjusting the harness, they soon felt the familiar jolt as they were being placed in the entry plugs. Soon after, the familiar spin as the Eva's accepted the entry plugs, followed by the rainbow of lights then the flooding of LCL. Even after all this time, Shinji could never get used to the fact the LCL was breathable, nor it's coppery smell. After a few moments of getting used to the smell, and breathing in the material, the entry plug started to glow even further colours before they saw the same familiar interface before them, displaying what the Eva saw, which in this case was the cages.

 

“It's been a long time,” a voice calmly spoke, as three screens appeared, displaying Ritsuko's, Misato's, Asuka's, and Rei's faces.

 

“Same to you,” Shinji replied.

 

“Likewise, Akagi-dono,” Rei calmly replied.

 

“So how ya been doc?” Asuka greets.

 

“Not bad,” she calmly replies, “I know you have questions about your Eva's,” Ritsuko began, “But that will have to wait. I am going to quickly do a quickly run-through of the changes to your Eva's. You still possess a set of Prog. Knives, stored in the shoulder guards, you can still use every weapon at your disposal. The changes are, your entry plugs have been upgraded for verbal commands, but those subroutines have yet to be installed, as they require your voiceprint. Also, Unit's 00 and 02 have S2 engines installed, however the parts are still there.”

 

“Clarify,” Rei calmly requested.

 

“We are developing new weapons that will require the umbilical cables to charge them,” Misato quickly answered, “But that's not important at the moment. You guys will also have a set of Progressive Swords to use against SEELE's mass-produced Eva's, courtesy of Canada.”

 

“Is there anything else we require to know?” Rei quickly inquired.

 

“Nope,” Misato replied, then turned to face Maya, “Lieutenant Ibuki, begin undocking sequence.”

 

“Ryoukai,” she quickly replied as she began to release all the gates, clamps, and restraints, as well as draining the liquid that surrounded them. Pretty soon, both Eva units were free from their restraints save for their arm and shoulder guards.

 

“Restraints have been released; awaiting for final launch orders,” Maya called out.

 

Misato turns to face the screen that displayed Asuka who had just entered her entry plug, “Asuka, are you sure about this?”

 

“Duh,” Asuka stated a bit louder than needed, “I am the best after all. Plus I have a score to settle with those bastards. I'LL KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM FOR RUNNING ME THROUGH THE EYE AND EATING MY EVA!”

 

Misato couldn't help but laugh, that Ritsuko continued, “Well since the Sub-Commander is in a manner of speaking incapacitated at the moment…load the Eva's onto the catapults, and have then exit in the middle of the city. Also, bring up 3 Progressive Swords.”

 

“Ryoukai,” Maya quickly responded. Inside the cages, the three Eva's began to diagonally rise up along the set rails that lead to their appropriate catapults. As they rose, the pilots were feeling extremely apprehensive. They weren't too keen on piloting these machines ever again, but now they had to, they tried to relax as they prepared for a very ugly battle. They quickly found out that there we nine, meaning that three to each, and even then it might prove to me unfavourable to each of them as they were used to fighting three against one powerful creature, instead of having to fight three at the same time by themselves. It was highly unsettling, as they felt the jolt of the catapult locking on, hearing the dull hisses from above as the appropriate silo doors opened.

 

“Ready guys?” Misato asks tentatively. All the pilots nodded their heads in acknowledgement.

 

“Evangelion Units 00 through 02, HASSHIN!!” Instantly all three catapults engaged as the three primary weapons of NERV surfaced. As they rode the catapults, the pilots for the first time in a year, feel crushed under the powerful g-forces press them into their seats. Soon the movement came to an abrupt stop as the pilots felt a jolt upwards and a pain around their hips as they had bumped into the only thing that prevented them from flying up. Soon the final restraints were released as all three Eva's slouched for a moment before the pilots finally straightened themselves up, and looked above to see 9 white, identical warriors circling above them, all of them sporting black Lance of Longinus facsimiles.

 

“Pilots, to your left are your Progressive Swords,” Ritsuko's voice coming through he radio, “You will notice that they are all different, as apparently they are made to certain specifications to each Eva.” The three pilots looked down to their left to see swords had just risen from the ground, all of them sheathed.

 

Shinji's sword was a katana. Its sheath was the same shade of purple as his, along the sides, Evangelion Unit 01, was written in bold black ink. He drew his sword, and took a moment to observer it. Almost instantly, the blade began to glow as the vibro-blade came to life. Asuka's was broadsword, its hilt made of gold material, while its hand guard was of the same vibrant red as her armour. Soon after drawing the blade it too began to glow as it came to life. Rei's sword was a blade. Thin, not that wide, it was a single edged, straight blade; however it carried a grace and elegance that rather suited Rei's style. After drawing it, and let it burst to life, Rei did a few moves to test the blade.

 

Shinji during that moment couldn't help but look in awe are the gracefulness of Rei's moves as she swung the blade. However his thoughts were cut short when he heard someone yell into the comm. system. Shinji looked up to see that all 9 had dived down on them. All three pilots instinctively jumped out of the way, as the ground they stood before them exploded, as chunks of earth and shrapnel erupted violently. Instantly, the 9 white MP Eva's scattered as they broke off into groups of three, each group taking on an Eva.

 

Shinji brought up his katana at the ready, and not a moment too soon as one attempted a midsection slice at him. He reacted by inverting his arm, so that the blade tip pointed down and blocked. However the force of the attack sent Shinji careening as he skidded against the ground. He groaned as he brought his Eva up, instantly bringing the blade horizontally above his head as he stopped another one from cleaving him in two. He could barely see in his peripherals the other two charging him, their weapons back as they prepared to lunge. Shinji gritted his teeth, as he waited to make his move, all the while trying to prevent his opponent from crushing his skull. He looked at his enemy to see it smirk evilly, as it suddenly flipped its weapon, using the unused end to attack Shinji. However, by an extreme stroke of luck, Shinji jumped back, causing the blades to smash into one another, causing one of the blades to slip and impale the core of one, effectively silencing it.

 

Asuka on the other hand was having a ball. She was familiar with their movements and had no trouble whatsoever dodging or parrying their attacks. Any direct charges, she could simply sidestep and broadside them, usually sending them face first into the ground. For the most part she toyed with her foes, as they bored her. Sure there was some challenge, but she wanted to pay back against all 9, instead of just a 3rd of them. She wanted all of them, but this was on situation she had to make a compromise, despite her attitude. Seeing that things were getting boring, as the spectacular moves of her seemed pointless now since their movements were so predictable for her, she stopped dead in her tracks, as she watched the MP Eva's charged her, big mistake on their part. At the moment one of them neared her she leaped over her opponent landing behind her before she whirled around and stabbed it behind the back, through the entry plug, permanently silencing her opponent.

 

Rei in her case was weaving in and out of her opponent's moves, parrying, back-pedalling, sidestepping and on occasions lunged back at her opponents. However the MP Eva's were no match in terms of her speed due to such a cumbersome weapon that they wield in comparison to hers. One tried a hammering move which she easily redirected into the ground as she sidestepped, seconds later ducking backwards to dodge a chest level slash before she flipped over and swept her attacker's feet. She rose back up and did a back flip as her opponent tried to strike her down. As she landed, she lunged forward impaling her opponent's S2 Engine, silencing it.

 

However moments after three of the nine fell, something went wrong. The remaining six immediately jumped back as they formed a circle around the 3 Eva's. As they wondered what their opponents were doing, all the MP Eva's smiled a sinister smile as they transformed their weapons into their lance forms. All the weapons began to glow orange, as the MP Eva's wrapped their AT Fields around their weapons. All 6 leapt into the air, suddenly dropping down as they slammed their blades into the ground, producing shockwaves as the AT Fields spread outwards from the point of contact.

 

“Everyone, get the hell out of there!” Ritsuko's voice suddenly bellowed. The three pilots immediately willed their Eva's to jump, but even at the height, all three suddenly were overcome with pain as all 6 domes collided against the pilots. All three felt like their very essence were being squeezed out of them as they felt themselves being compressed against one another and the 6 AT Fields that have formed around them. It was a pain like no other, as they field all forms of physical pain coursing through them. They could feel themselves somehow suffering freezer burns, fire burns, cuts, slashes, electrical shock, everything. It was all mind numbing, and yet their natural reaction to faint from these pains had somehow been suppressed as they continue to experience pain.

 

Meanwhile in Central Dogma, all hell had broken loose. Technicians were scrambling around as they tried to figure out what was wrong, and how they could ease the pilot's pain. It was driving everyone up the wall as they panicked, trying their very best to find out what was going on.

 

“Ritsuko, what the hell is happening out there?!” Misato bellowed into the doctor's face.

 

“I wish I knew,” she regretfully replied, “All I know is that somehow the powers of the AT Field are affecting them as they were intended. Remember, the AT Field is short for Absolute Terror Field. I'm assuming that what the MP Eva's are doing is a form of the powers of the AT Field. One way to terrorise your opponents is with pain. But I can't think of a way to cancel it because I believe using their AT Fields would only add to the problem.” She turned to a console as she tried her very best to figure a way out of the pilots.

 

“Damn it all!” Misato bellowed, “Don't we have anything that can help them?”

 

“Sub Commander, unidentified aircraft entering the vicinity,” Lt. Ibuki cried out from her console.

 

“What's that?”

 

“Confirmed, there is an aircraft heading straight for the battlefield,” Lt. Hyuga reported.

 

“Patch me through to that aircraft,” Misato ordered.

 

“Standby…” Lt. Ibuki replied as she worked furiously, “Channel opened.”

 

“Unidentified aircraft, this is Sub Commander Katsuragi of NERV,” she spoke aloud, “You are entering a danger zone. Turn around immediately,” when there was no response, “Get me a visual of that aircraft!” Moments later a screen appeared, displaying a black jet plane, triangular shaped, with a grey circle on the front with the number 6 written in black.

 

“What the hell? Ritsuko, is that what I think it is?”

 

“But how…it's not due for another two weeks!”

 

“What's that?” however before Ritsuko could reply, a new screen appeared.

 

“NERV, this is Natasha Kanatnikov, of the Russian KGB, 7th Child, pilot of Evangelion Unit 06.”

 

And that concludes Chapter I. So what are your thoughts? I hope to read your reviews soon. Well anyways, that's all from me.
