Tokyo-3 just after the leap.
"Where the hell are we?" Seth said as he appeared in a valley of vast destruction. The land was scarred and it appeared as if a nuke was dropped, yet there was no radiation admissions.
"We are currently in Japan. Closest city appears to be Tokyo-3" Blaze said to answer Seth's question.
"Tokyo-3?" Seth asked as he flew up, but he looked towards the cost and saw that the sea was blood red.
"What the hell is this?" Seth could smell blood from the sea, instead of the normal salty smell.
"Seth, based on the information I've gain so far. There was a massive event known as second impact. This event wiped out half of the worlds population, and almost all of the sea life on earth."
"Are you serious?"
"Yes. This event has forced humanity to several safe havens." Seth began to hear the sounds of something large traveling close by. He decided to follow the are thing, but keep his distance.
Several Hours later.
It was currently nighttime. The city was almost void of all life. All except the large inhuman beast terrorizing the city. The beast was unlike anything Seth had seen before.
"What on earth is this thing?" Seth asked as he was above the city, away from the beast. Flame felt a strange energy from the beast.
"Master, it's giving off the same kind of energy as [B.L.A.Z.E.]." Flame said.
"Flame is correct, but it's a twisted version. I can't explain it." Blaze's answer got Seth curious, but that dropped the moment Seth saw a large purple mech popping out of the ground. The beast and the mech were the same in height.
"Blaze try to scan the machine and see if you can find any data." Seth swiped his hand across his visor and looked at the purple mech.
"Scan complete. Machine identified as the Evangelion unit one. It is dubbed as humanity's last hope."
"Humanity's last hope?" Seth didn't understand why the mech would be labeled as that.
"From what I can tell, these Evangelions are not robots, but giant cyborgs and they're made from the same cells as the beast."
"So they cloned the monster to fight the monster. Clever." Seth said. Suddenly a large thumping noise caught Seth's attention. He looked down and saw that Evangelion unit one had fallen flat on its face. The angel now approached the downed mech, and grabbed it by the skull. The angel began to pull on The Eva's left arm. The angel heard a clear snapping sound, as the Eva's arm broke.
"Why the hell isn't it fighting back?" Seth said as he thought that humanity's last hope, would have a trained pilot inside, to use it.
"Seth I was able to hack into whatever company made this thing. You need to hear what the pilot is saying." Blaze said as she had been trying to figure out why the machine wasn't fighting back. She tuned Seth into the Eva's com link.
"NOOOO! I DON'T WANT TO BE IN THIS THING! FATHER PLEASE!" Seth heard Shinji's cries of pain as the feed back from the Eva was too intense.
"My god, he's just a kid."
"Seth aren't you still a kid as well?" Flame said.
"Yeah, but at least I've had training, this guy is just a civilian." Seth could tell by how much Shinji was panicking. The angel now began to unleash several massive blows to the Eva's head, via a it's energy lance. Seth could hear something cracking.
What happened next shocked everyone at the NERV H.Q. An unknown force has severed the angel's arm. The purple mech now fell to the ground.
The angel looked at its would be attacker, to see a barrage of missiles headed its way. Sachiel didn't even flinch. The missiles made a direct hit. The beast took a step back from the sheer amount of energy the missiles made.
"Alright! Take that yo-" Seth stopped talking as Sachiel appeared from the smoke undamaged and it had regenerated its left arm.
"What the hell!?"
"SETH MOVE!" Flame yelled, but Seth wouldn't be able to evade in time. [B.L.A.Z.E.] and [F.L.A.M.E.] switched places and Flame immediately brought up her shields to max power.
Sachiel's eyes glowed before it unleashed a massive energy attack. The shield worked to protect Seth, but [F.L.A.M.E.] points were drained. The had dropped to 456.
"Damn, this thing is tough." Seth said as he switched from [F.L.A.M.E.] to [B.L.A.Z.E.]. Seth began to unleash a volley of bullets from his miniguns. The shots of energy cause made contact with a barrier.
"What the hell, why can't I hit this guy?!" Seth yelled as he stopped his barrage to avoid a swipe from Sachiel.
"Seth, the thing creates a barrier called an AT-field. The only thing that could break it, is another AT-field or a massive amount of energy."
"Do I have anything that could shatter that shield?" Seth said as he made a blue sphere in his hands. He unleashed the blue sphere at Sachiel, but it couldn't even affect the AT-field.
"[F.L.A.M.E.] might have enough fire power, but that would take way too long to charge. [Heaven's Wrath] would be able to break that shield, but its still locked. If we could get the pilot of the Evangelion to weaken it the AT-field, then we could kill it." Seth began to think of a plan, but for that he would need to speak to the boy. Suddenly it came to him.
"Blaze, jam the area with noise." The red wings on [B.L.A.Z.E.] began to make more and more red particles that spread across the city.
Meanwhile at NERV H.Q.
"What's the status of the Eva and its pilot?" Misato Katsuragi the operations director at NERV asked.
"The left arm is broken and the cranial armor is cracked, it hasn't been broken. The pilot is suffering minor feedback but he's fine." Ritsuko Akagi the head scientist of the project Eva group said.
"Connect me to the pilot." A man said who was above the rest of the group. This man had a cold glare that was hidden behind a pair of orange sunglasses. Gendo was not pleased with his son.
"Hai." One of the technician said. "Eh? Something's blocking us from the Eva!" The man yelled.
"Fix it." Commander Ikari said.
"I can't locate the source." Now the command center was trying to fix the problem.
Meanwhile in the Entry Plug.
"Why did I even come?" Shinji said as he was trying to hold to his sanity. He was just a normal 14 year old boy a few hours ago and now he was fighting to save all of humanity. All he wanted to do was go home.
"Hello, come in." A com link opened up on the side of the entry plug and a voice spoke. This startled Shinji.
"Hey, pilot of Evangelion unit one, do you read me?" Shinji recovered and responded.
"Hey I can heard you. Please help me! Get me out of here!" Shinji yelled.
"Woah! Calm down. Lets take one thing at a time. My name is Seth, can you tell me yours?" Seth saw that Shinji was entering the first few steps of a mental break down. He knew if he asked him to help right away, Shinji would snap.
"Shinji Ikari." Shinji breathing started to calm down.
"Shinji, I know you're scared right now, but I need you to listen to me. I'm going to need your help to kill this thing."
"Kill that thing, are you nuts!? That suicide!" Shinji yelled. He was beginning to hyperventilate. Seth had to get him under control.
"Listen to me Shinji!" Seth yelled getting his attention. "Shinji, there are times when we have do things we don't like to do, but we must."
"Why? Why the hell can't they get anyone else do it?!" The boy yelled out.
"Shinji you're the only one who can. Tell me, did you choose to enter that machine?"
"No, I didn't. They basically forced me to get in." Shinji started to go In depth of how he was suddenly called by his father and then told that if he didn't pilot it, they would make Rei do it.
"Shinji, while that was a very dirty trick they did, it was still you choice to get in. Shinji please, you're the only one I can count on. I'm scared too, but at least I'm fighting." Shinji's eyes widen in shocked. He didn't realized that during their conversation, Seth was fighting the angel the whole time.
"Shinji I'm giving it my all right now to protect not only myself, but you and everyone else as well. Please help me." Something clicked in Shinji's head. He gripped the controls inside the entry plug and the purple giant got up. Something started to speak to Shinji. It started to tell him how to operate the Evangelion. Shinji now decided for once in his life, he wouldn't run away, and it would be for his own reasons.
"Seth please but me sometime while I get used to the Eva." Shinji said as he was trying to get a feel for the Eva.
"You got it." Seth said as he continued his bombardment against Sachiel. Seth was unloading a hailstorm of bullets that the angel didn't even seem to notice. It acted as if Seth wasn't attack it, but it kept trying to hit Seth. It was still mad about the arm earlier. Sachiel saw that the Eva was getting back up.
Shinji was starting to get the hang of walking and was ready to help Seth. He turned his head and was terrified when he saw the angel staring right at him. The angel's eyes began to glow and Shinji knew something was gonna happen. The angle unleashed a beam attack at Shinji. The pilot of unit one, closed his eyes waiting for the pain to come, but it never did. He opened his eyes and saw Seth in a red sphere protecting Shinji.
"SHINJI HURRY UP AND RAISE YOU AT-FIELD!" Seth yelled as [F.L.A.M.E.] energy points were getting close to zero. Shinji didn't know how, but he raised as hexagonal shield in front of Seth, stopping the angel's attack.
"I did it." Shinji said in surprise.
"Damn right you did. Now lets attack." Seth said as he got on Shogoki left shoulder.
"Seth how are we gonna kill this thing?" Shinji asked as he saw all the firepower the U.N. launched at it, and it didn't even phase it.
"Simple, we bash at it, until it's dead." Seth said as the duo charged at the angel.
Sachiel saw the two coming at him. Seth entered an elemental shift, [F.L.A.M.E.] turned from red to light blue and tossed all of his explosive charges at the area just in front of Sachiel. Seth detonated the charges, and the area was covered in smoke. Sachiel raised his AT-Field to protect himself from the blast. Once that was over, Sachiel charged at Seth and Shinji, only to slip and fall on its back. The angel failed to notice the large patch of Ice Seth made with the charges.
Shinji charged in with Unit One and started to attack the core, but he was stopped by that damn AT-Field again.
"Dammit!" Shinji cursed as he started to bash the AT-Field with Shogoki's good arm. Shinji saw two disk blades start to help aid in the attack. Shinji saw a red light nearby him. He turned his head and saw Seth with [F.L.A.M.E.]'s Railguns out. In front of the Railguns was a red sphere.
"Shinji keep bashing away." Seth said as he prepared his attack.
"Hai." Shinji said as he continued to attack.
NERV H.Q.
"VTOL camera feed will be live in 5, 4, 3,..." Maya Ibuki said. The technicians inside NERV were unable to restore communication with Unit One, so they made their goal to be able to see the battle and find out that unknown attacker. The VTOL gunship video feed showed on the main monitor. Many of the technician and Misato were shocked. They saw the unknown and Shogoki working together.
"But how, Shinji failed to move just two steps?" Ritsuko said as she knew that there was no way for someone to get that good without months of training, hell it took Asuka several months to move just a finger.
"Why the hell is the unknown working with the Eva?" Misato asked.
The crew witnessed Sachiel falling on it's back, and Shinji jumping on it. He began bashing it.
"High Energy buildup detected!" One of the technicians yelled, the rest of the crew looked at the screen and saw Seth building up the energy in the Railguns.
"These levels are insane." Ritsuko said after looking at the incoming data on the screen.
While everyone else was going nuts over the developing situation, two people in the back managed to keep their calm composure.
"Fuyutsuki, this boy will be my key to overthrowing SEELE's plans." Gendo said not even breaking his composure.
"What should we do with him after the battle?" Fuyutsuki asked. Gendo only smirked as his answer.
"Very well."
Back with the Boys.
"Shinji Move!" Seth yelled over the comlink. Shinji moved out of Seth's range.
"Eat this fucker!" Seth yelled as he unleashed the beams. They made contact with the weaken AT-Field and were able to shatter it. The attack couldn't destroy the core though. Seth charged at the red core and unleashed a barrage of Railgun shots point blank. The red core began to crack, but Seth saw he didn't have the firepower to kill it.
"Dammit! Shinji!" Seth opened the large shoulder blades to reveal the needle gun. The needle were embedded inside the core and Seth jumped away. Just then Shogoki's fist made contact with the red core. The needles were embedded even deeper, and the cracks from earlier caused the core to break. It was over they won.
"We did it, we killed the bastard!" Seth yelled in victory.
"Shi-" Seth suddenly saw a warning on his screen, but before he could react, an explosion occurred causing Eva Unit One to land a few buildings away. Seth on the other hand was sent flying through several buildings.
"Shit." Seth thought before he passed out.
A Few Days Later.
Seth was slowly opening his eyes and saw that he was in a white room. He thought it must have been a hospital bed.
"How long have I been out?" Seth asked.
"A few days." Flame said. Seth tried to get up, but found that he was handcuffed to the bed.
"Huh?" Seth said as he saw the handcuff. He could have easily broken it and would have, had it not been for several men wearing suits entering the room.
Seth decided to play it safe and not move. One of the men came up to Seth and undid the handcuffs holding his arms, but he soon handcuffed Seth's arms together.
"You're coming with us." The man said. Seth knew in this situation, it's best to play safe and watch. Seth got up and followed the man. They began to walk down the hallways of the hospital. The nurses and doctors stared at Seth as he walked down the hall with the armed guards.
They made their way into a small room inside was a table and a two chairs. Seth could see that this was an interrogation room.
"Sit." One of the men said. Seth sat down in one of the chairs and waited. The armed guards left the room leaving Seth alone, but Seth could tell that there were four people behind the glass.
"Misato, begin the interrogation." Gendo ordered.
"Hai commander." Misato said as she left the group. Seth saw the door open up and a blue hair woman entered the room. She sat down in the chair in front of Seth. Seth said nothing as she sat down, but the woman began to talk.
"Hello, I'm Misato Katsuragi. Would you please tell me your name?"
"Seth." Seth said coldly. Misato saw that she couldn't get much out of him right now. She would have to gain his trust.
"Seth, I want you to know that you're not in trouble. We ju-"
"Then why am I cuffed up?" Seth said as he raised his hands showing them.
"That just for safety. Seth please I'm trying to be your friend. Would you please answer a few of my questions?" Misato asked. Seth said nothing in response, but Misato continued with her questions.
"Do you know what you fought?"
"No." Seth said.
"What was that machine you used?"
"..." Seth didn't answer.
"Seth I'm trying to help you, but I can't do that if you don't answer my questions."
"Here's a question for you, why were you using a civilian to pilot a machine, against an unknown enemy?"
"Seth I'm the one asking the questions." Misato said.
"Really, I'm surprised that you and your group think that this is enough to hold me." Seth said as he pulled apart his hands tearing the small chain. Misato quickly went for her pistol. She drew her gun at Seth, but she saw him inside [B.L.A.Z.E.] with a large pistol aimed at her. Seth used hits bits to tear apart the glass protecting, Gendo, Ritsuko, and Fuyutsuki. Seth aimed his bits that the three of them. All but Gendo were scared.
Several Section 2 personal busted through the door with SMGs and fired a volley of bullets at Seth. Everyone's eyes widen when they saw the bullets hit a barrier.
"An AT-Field?" Ritsuko asked as she was curious about this machine. Seth summoned one of his miniguns and aimed it at the group of Section two agents. The gun began to spin up and the agents started to sweat.
"All of you, drop your weapons, Now!" Seth ordered. Misato and the section two agents dropped their weapons and kicked them away.
"Now it's time to answer my questions. First off, who are you guys?" Seth said, but no one answered him.
"I see. Maybe this will help." Seth ordered four of his bits to grow an energy blade and held them just above Gendo's neck.
"I'll ask again. Who are you guys?" Again no one answered him.
"Fine have it your way." Seth was about to order his bits to kill Gendo.
"Wait! We're an organization named NERV. We work for the U.N. to fight the angels."
"Angels?"
"That the name we've given to the enemy you fought against." Ritsuko said answering Seth. Seth moved the bits a bit back.
"Second question. Why on earth did you pick a child with no formal training, to operate the Evangelion?"
"We didn't have a choice. All of our other pilots were out of commission." Misato said.
"Third and final question. What are the Angels after?" Fuyutsuki would be the one to speak this time.
"Something deep below us. If the angels reach it, third impact will occur and humanity will be wiped out." Seth closed his eyes in processing all the information he was just given. He knew that the current situation was bad for him. Sure he could easy take on the whole base on and win, but there was an object he was looking for. NERV could prove to be a great ally instead especially if he had to fight one of those angels again. He would need the power of the Eva. But how would he change things to his liking.
"Master you could always trade information on your weapons." Flame suggested. Seth didn't like the sound of the Idea, but it was his best bet. Knowledge has been barter before in the history of man. It had both good and bad outcomes. Could it work again these people, even after what has happen. It would be a shit in the dark, but hell it was his only shot.
Everyone in the room was shocked when Seth lowered his arms and called off his bits.
"I have a deal for you. I won't beat around the bush. You guys are pretty weak, but I'm willing to offer my assistance and my technology in exchange for three things. First I want to have the same status as an employee. Second I want a pay of 500,000 yen a month. Lastly I want to be in charged of Shinji's training." Gendo looked at Seth and wonder why he would want to be in charge of his son's training. The other two terms made sense, but this was out of the norm. Gendo didn't care though. Shinji was just a pawn in his greater plan and that plan would need Seth if he wanted to defeat SEELE.
"Very well. Your terms are acceptable. Fuyutsuki get started on the paperwork." Gendo's words caused the jaws of the other to drop.
"Sir how the hell can you let him work here, after was he just did?" Misato said with many members of NERV agreeing with her.
" , I am the commander around here and I make the final decisions around here. Do you understand?" Gendo said causing Misato to shut up.
"...Hai..." Misato said.
"Can someone bring me a change of clothes." Seth said. Sure enough someone came and brought Seth a stander NERV outfit. Seth left the interrogation room to change. Misato fell on her knees.
"What the fuck just happen?!" Misato yelled as she couldn't believe what happen.
"Misato I think you need a drink." Ritsuko said try to aid her old friend.
"Fuck this, time for a drink!" Misato cheered as she was too tired to deal with this.
Two Days Later.
Over the last two days, Seth had been learned the layout of the Geofront and learning the various defenses they had. He had been truly impressed at the amount of defensives both the Geofront and Tokyo-3 had. If any other nation tried to invade, they would need an massive amount of troops and weapons, hell an I.S. might have trouble defeating the city.
Seth was currently reading up on several key features of NERV, in truth he knew that most of the data he received was false, but he didn't care. He was using NERV for his own gain, as he was reading inside of a hospital room, the patient was waking up.
"Where am I?" Shinji Ikari asked as he noticed the white ceiling above his head.
"Welcome back to the living Shinji." A voice said to him. Shinji turned his head and was a white hair boy that looked a little older than himself. He had never seen this person before.
"Um...excuse me, but who are you?"
"Shinji you already forgot about me?"
"No, that's not it. I'm sorry, but I can't remember anything at all." Seth was visibly shocked at Shinji's words. He knew that right now he need a friend more than ever. Seth would do the same as his sister did for him.
"Don't worry about that. You might one day regain your memories and I'll help you along the way." Seth words were calming for the young pilot.
"Thank you ah?"
"Seth, Seth Fairs."
"Seth Fairs-san, can you tell me why I'm in the hospital?" Seth knew that he would have to explain this to Shinji very slowly.
"Well you are..." For the next thirty minutes Seth explained to Shinji what happen. Shinji was beyond shocked. How could he be the pilot of the world's most dangerous weapon.
"Shinji, I know this is a lot to take in so I'll give you a choice. One, you can fight with me against the angels or two, you can leave."
"What will happen if I leave?"
"Then they will try to find someone else to pilot the Evangelion, but I doubt that they'll find a replacement. I think Unit One will only react to you, Shinji. I will still fight, but it will be a hell of a lot harder to win." Shinji was inspired by Seth's bravery. He thought that if Seth was fighting along side with him, he could do anything. He may not remember his past, but he could make a brighter tomorrow.
"I'll stay and fight with you Seth." Seth smiled at Shinji's answer.
"I knew you would, now hurry up and change." Seth said as he handed Shinji a change of clothing.
"Eh?"
"What? It's time to start your training."
"What, but I just woke up."
"So, you were asleep for three days, I think you've rested enough." Seth gave a small evil smile that made Shinji quiver in fear.
"Oh, I've made a terrible mistake."
"Shinji, you don't know the half of it." Seth said as he had plan an intense training program for the young pilot.
Later that day.
Shinji was currently panting heavily. He had never had to run so hard in his life before. Shinji's heart was begging for him to rest.
"Seth-san, can we please take a break?" Shinji asked between his breath.
"What? We're almost done with the warm ups, we still have a lot more to do." Shinji was terrified at Seth's words.
"What?! We're only done with the warm ups?"
"Almost. Come on, we still have to run three more miles." Seth said as he continued to run. Shinji somehow found the energy to keep up.
A few more hours later. Shinji Ikari was pasted out. Seth was surprised at how long Shinji was able to keep up. He had expected him to pass out during the warm ups, yet he was able to do almost half of the exercises.
"Wow you're brutal." A voice said behind Seth. He turned around and saw Misato holding a can of ice coffee in her hand. She handed the can to Seth, who gladly took it.
"Thanks." Seth said as he opened the can and drank it.
"So how is he doing?" Misato asked.
"He's lost his memories."
"WHAT! Why the hell didn't you report this earlier?!" Misato yelled.
"It's better if he stays like this. He'll be able to deal this crap if he doesn't remember his past."
"Seth this is really irresponsible. We have to-"
"MISATO!" Seth said cutting her off. "Look your asking a child to protect the world. The less he has to deal with the better it will be. I need you to help me please. No normal child would be able to handle this." Misato thought hard about Seth's words. She knew that if she didn't report this, she could be in a lot of trouble, yet she knew that Shinji was carrying a great burden.
"Seth you better know what you're doing." Seth smirked.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. By the way, is there a firing range here?" Seth wanted to start weapon training ASAP.
"Yeah there is. Why? You want you try training Shinji in fire arms?"
"Yeah if possible could you get me these guns." Seth said as he handed Misato a list of weapons. She was surprise at the kind of firepower he was asking for.
"Wow, this sounds like fun. I'll see what I can get, but for now you and Shinji are coming with me."
"Huh why?" Seth asked.
"Why you two are my new roommates. Now come with me." Misato led the way to her car, oh how Seth would regret getting in a car.
The next day.
"Rise and shine!" Seth yelled Scaring Shinji.
"Seth what the hell, it 5:00 A.M.?" Shinji said as he saw the clock in the room. Suddenly he noticed that they were in a new room.
"Huh where are we?"
"I'll tell you later, but for now training."
"Oh god please not again." Shinji said as he was really tried.
"Well come on. We still got three hours before school starts."
"School?" Seth didn't answer Shinji instead he started the workout. Shinji's first day would be him asleep.
Seth was finished with school and started to make his way towards the Geofront, until he noticed a blue hair girl entering the same elevator as him. He also took note of the bandages she was wearing.
"Ah pilot Ikari, hello." The girl said.
"Um sorry, but who are you?" Shinji said as he couldn't remember the girl.
"I'm Rei Ayanami, the current pilot of Evangelion Unit 00."
"Ah you're a co-worker, nice to meet you." Shinji said as Rei gave him a smile, but something was off. The smile seemed faked. Shinji knew better then to let his guard down.
"Well nice talking to you, bye." Shinji said as he entered the Geofront.
Shinji made his way towards the firing range. When he arrived he saw all types of guns laid on the wall.
"Wow."
"Shinji take your pick." Seth said as he planned on starting on what Shinji wanted to learn. Shinji picked up the glock on the table.
"Starting small, I can respect that. Alright, let begin. Shinji, I want you to shoot at the target down the range." Seth said as a target came up.
Shinji pulled the trigger, but nothing came out. "Huh?"
"Shinji...You left the safety on." Seth said pointing to the safety.
"Oh sorry." Shinji switched off the safety and began to fire rounds down range. Shinji fired while closing his eyes and missed a lot of the shots.
"We got a lot of work to do." Seth said as he found out he had his work cut out for him.
Three weeks later.
Seth was a damn good teacher. He had gotten Shinji to have a 94% accuracy with most of firearms in the last week. He had began hand to hand combat and Shinji took all this in like a fish to water. Hell some of the section two agents began to train with them. Ritsuko was happy to say that Evangelion energy blades prototype was almost finish, but for now the only melee weapons the Eva had was the progressive knife.
Shinji was currently at school when he heard the alarms sound. The angels were back, but this time he was trained and he had Seth on his side. At that moment Seth arrived in [B.L.A.Z.E.] to pick him up.
They arrived at the Geofront within two minutes and Shinji headed for the locker. Seth decided to get information on their enemy. He launched from the Geofront and headed towards the sea. He saw the U.N. unleashing a massive barrage of artillery, missiles, and tank fire on the angel, but the beast didn't even seem to notice.
"Misato, tell the U.N. that they done enough. I'll take it from here." Seth said as he began his assault. Seth entered an elemental shift. [B.L.A.Z.E.] armor turned yellow. A large yellow sphere of Lightning was being formed in his hands. Shamshel didn't expect anymore attacks to come so it was shocking when he received a large sphere of energy to his back. The angel turned around to the attacker only to see a hailstorm of noise missiles headed his way. It raised its A.T-Field. The missiles cause the angel to step back and for some reason the angel began to look around as if it was confused. Seth took note of this.
"Hey do the noise missiles affect the angels."
"I think it causes them to be blinded momentary." Blaze answered for her master.
"Good." Seth said as he changed his plan.
The angel started to look for Seth, when it received a volley of bullets thanks to [B.L.A.Z.E.]'s miniguns. The miniguns created a smokescreen and Seth, for extra measures, launched five noise missiles at Shamshel. The angel was blind, and failed to notice Shinji as he gave a punch to angel. Shamshel's A.T-Field was gone. Shinji brought out the progressive knife and stabbed at the core, but the angel wouldn't go down without a fight. It wrapped its whips of light around Shougoki's neck. Shinji felt an intense burning feeling in his neck as he felt whatever the Eva felt.
"Hold on Shinji!" Seth yelled as he brought out his energy blades and slashed at the whips. The whips were cut as the A.T-Field as gone. Seth unleashed a volley of bullets and cracked the core. Shinji finally recovered and punched the hilt of the progressive knife that was inside the core. The core shattered into many pieces and Shamshal died with an explosion. Shinji raised his A.T-Field protecting both himself and Seth.
"Mission complete." Seth said over the com-link and all of NERV broke out into cheers.
"Great jobs Shinji." Seth said over the com-link causing Shinji to blush a little. He wasn't used to being praised.
"Thanks Seth."
A few more weeks later.
Seth and Shinji had grown close over the past weeks. Shinji had started to call Seth Aniki. Seth was surprised, that Shinji felt so close that he would call him a family member, but he liked it. He always wanted to have a little brother.
Shinji had tried to get close to Rei, but this was proving to be difficult. Seth thought he give it a swing and failed. She just wouldn't open up. Shinji had gained a few friends at school.
Today another angel appeared. It was in the form of a floating crystalline octahedron and it appeared to have no physical attacks. Seth didn't like this one bit. He was ordered to ride on Shougoki's shoulder as they launched.
"Master look out!" Flame yelled, but it was too late.
"Intense energy build up detected!" Hinata yelled. Suddenly [B.L.A.Z.E.] switched with [F.L.A.M.E.] and as the Eva and the I.S. we're hit by an intense energy beam. Both of the boys screamed in pain as the intense heat was frying them.
Flame took control of her disk bits and destroyed the support beams holding the block. The large block fell with both Seth and Shinji. They were retrieve and placed inside an LCL medical pod.
About three hours later, Seth had awoken and was fully healed. He noticed that he was naked. He brought up his black and red wrist bracelets to see that [F.L.A.M.E.] had massive damage and would not be usable for about a week. [B.L.A.Z.E.] was unharmed and ready to go. But first he needed some clothes.
"Misato do you copy?" Seth asked. Suddenly he was connected to the NERV bridge who were all shocked that he was awake.
"Seth, how? You should be out for about another five hours." Ritsuko said.
"Well I heal fast, but can someone give me my I.S suit."
"Ah about that, your suit was destroyed, but not to worry sempai has made a plugsuit for you that will act just like your old clothing." Maya said as a small door opened on the side to show a black plugsuit. It had the letters I.S. on the back. Seth put on the suit and was surprised at how much it felt like his own skin.
"Wow this feels nice." Seth said as he liked how much he could move.
"Seth, Misato is currently busy with dealing with operation Yashima, here's the current plan." Maya said as she sent Seth the data.
"You plan on sniping the bastard. That nuts. I like it." Seth words caused the bridge to face plant.
"He's just as nuts as Misato." The bridge thought.
Shinji was currently getting used to his surroundings. He saw that he was in a white room and Ayanami was in the room with him.
"Ayanami?"
"Pilot Ikari you should eat, operation Yashima will begin at 23:50."
"Operation Yashima?"
"At 23:30 Evangelion unit one will assume the sniper position, at 23:55 Seth Fairs will begin his assault on the angel, during this time unit one will shoot at the angel with unit zero acting as support."
"Aniki is acting as bait? That's nuts." Shinji didn't like this.
"I have faith in you Shinji." Seth said as he entered the room.
"Eh? Seth why are you wearing a plugsuit?"
"My old clothes got fried, so this is a replacement. Anyway Shinji, I know that you can kill the angel before I run out of energy." Seth said causing the young pilot to speak out.
"How can you be so sure? What if I fail? What if its my fault that you die?"
"Shinji, when a person's time comes, it comes. We cannot escape death, but we sure as hell fight it. Don't worry, I won't die so easily, and I know you'll succeed." Seth said as he handed Shinji his plugsuit. The young pilot put on his suit once the other two left the room.
A Few hours later.
Shinji was currently standing on a platform next to Seth and Rei. He was still uneasy about this. What if he missed, was the thought currently racing through the young pilot's mind.
"Shinji, don't think about missing, cause I know you won't." Seth's words didn't calm Shinji at all.
"But what if I do. Everyone will die."
"Pilot Ikari, my task will be to protect you Incase such an event occurs. I won't let anything touch you." Rei's words were a shocker to the two boys as they had been trying to get some sort of reaction out of her, and here she is stating she willing to protect them with her life.
"See Shinji, you'll be fine. I have my full trust in you. It's time to move out." Seth said as he flew in the sky with [B.L.A.Z.E.].
In the temporary command center that NERV had made for this mission, Misato was currently waiting to begin the operation. Once she heard that Seth was in the air, she began Operation Yashima. All of the lights in Japan began to disappear. Something was seen again. This thing wasn't seen inside the cities for a long time. The stars shined so bright.
"Begin!" Misato yelled and the missiles began to fly.
Missile after missile attacked. Artillery was unleashing in a hailstorm at the angel. The night sky turned as bright as day, due to the constant firing. Ramiel wasn't gonna take this laying down. It began to fire it's energy beams at the oncoming missiles and its A.T-Field proved to be unwavering. It then began to locate the missile silos as d destroy them. Seth began his bombardment and was able to confused Ramiel. The angel form began to change form and launched a beam attack at Seth.
"Trans-AM." Seth yelled as [B.L.A.Z.E.] began to glow red and his speed increased dramatically. Ramiel couldn't keep up, but kept trying to attack.
Shinji was currently aiming the positron rifle that carried all the power in Japan inside of it. Shinji main goal was the red core, which revealed itself when the angel transformed.
"Come on, hold still...There!" Shinji said as the gun was ready and he had his shot ready. Shinji unleashed the positron rifle blast at Ramiel. The angel returned to its normal form and let out a loud screech.
"Did we get it?" Misato asked.
"Everyone, brace for impact!" Seth yelled as [B.L.A.Z.E.] had a warning for a high energy build up.
The mountain were the crew was disappeared. The Evangelions were tossed around. Shinji didn't have the sprit to go on. He failed and they were all gonna die.
"SHINJI! GET THE FUCK UP!" Seth yelled over the com-link.
"Aniki it's my fault. We're all gonna die." Shinji couldn't go on.
"SHINJI, YOU'RE STILL ALIVE AREN'T YOU. GET UP AND SHOOT." Shinji decided to try one more time. If Seth was still fighting he couldn't stop. He had to fight too.
"Positron Rifle Damaged, power build up needs more time to gain the energy." Hinata said as he reported the status of the rifle. Their com-link system was broken so they had no way of contacting the Eva pilots.
"Shinji we're counting on you." Misato said as they had to trust in Shinji. There was no other choice.
"Seth the gun was damaged." Shinji said to Seth.
"Can it still operate?"
"Yes, but it'll need more time to get the power need." Shinji said as he started to build up the energy. Shinji's G-type sniper gear was destroyed so it was up to his training. Seth was the only thing able to distract Ramiel. Seth was able to hold it off for a minutes until Ramiel noticed Shinji and fired a beam.
"Shinji!" Seth yelled, but something protect Shinji. It was Zerogouki.
"Rei!"
"Ikari hurry, the shield will only hold for so long." Rei said as the shield started to break.
"Goddammit the gun still isn't ready." Shinji said as the gun was at only 70%.
"Shinji don't worry. I will protect you even if it cost me my life."
"Rei." Shinji didn't want to have her die. Seth felt the same. He promised to protect them.
"Access Code: [Heaven's Wrath]." Seth's armor turned white and the green lines turned yellow. Seth brought out the [Scutum Fidei.] and charged in between unit zero and the beam.
"Seth?" Shinji couldn't believe his eyes.
"Rei, help steady Shinji." Seth said as he was the one blocking the attack.
Shinji had the positron rifle aimed but he couldn't steady the shot. Unit Zero, even with its body damage, help guide Unit One. Rei helped steady Shinji's shaking hands. Several seconds passed before Shinji unleashed the positron shot. As it hit the A.T-Field it stopped.
"Dammit it doesn't have enough energy."
"Maybe this will help!" Seth yelled as he summoned with his left hand, his [Lance of Longinus]. The golden double helix spear hit the Angela's A.T-Field and destroyed it. Allowing Shinji's shot to kill the angel. The angel screeched as its death was certain. It tried to maintain its form, but shattered into a sea of blood. The fight was over and the battle was won.
"Aniki we-" Shinji stopped as he saw Seth and Rei both fall into the sea of blood.
"Aniki, Ayanami!" Shinji said as he brought up both of them. Shinji set Seth down and ripped open unit zero for the entry plug. Seth woke up and saw Shinji trying to open the plug. He used to remaining energy point to partially deploy [B.L.A.Z.E.] so he could open the hot pod.
"Ayanami, are you alright?!" Shinji yelled. Ayanami didn't say anything, she just stood their looking surprised. She was shocked that these two were showing so much concern.
"I'm fine. Why are you two look so worried?"
"Why wouldn't we be worried for a friend." Shinji said.
"Friend? I'm your friend?"
"Of course. The moment you stepped in to save Shinji you became both of our friends." Seth said.
"But I was only following orders."
"Rei a normal person wouldn't have been willing to sacrifice their life like you would have. Friends protect one another."
"I see, so I have friends." Rei said as she got out of the plug, but as soon as she stepped out she passed out. Shinji caught her.
"Wow she's out like a light." Seth said as they began to walk.
