Chapter 32 - Angels split personality

Chapter 32 - Angels split personality
Now the ship that was carrying unit 02 and it's pilot finally arrive in tokyo 3.The ship anchors in the harbor and begins lowering unit 02 off while every one gets off.Kensuke is looking at unit 02 with his camera while toji gives asuka a look when she passes by.It would seem asuka has forgoten about what happened as she is occupied with looking around.Shinji is next to come off and toji starts laughing at him because he still has the red plug suit on which gives him a girly figure and kensuke soon turns around to film him while making fun of him.Justin is next to come off but instead of using the ramp like every one else,he simply jumps from the boat on to the harbor who also meets misato who somehow got off with out being noticed.She notices justin and smiles so he goes over.Justin:Who are you waiting for.If you are even waiting for someone.Misato:I'm waiting for ritsuko to arrive.Justin is taken back by her words.Justin:Your...your not gonna tell her what happened are you?Misato places her hand on his shoulder.Misato:Not about you transforming and everything.If she found out,you get kicked off the pilots rooster and would be experimented on.Or worst.Justin:So,your not gonna say anything then.Misato smiles.Misato:Of course not.It's out secret and i wont betray your trust.Justin:Sure you wont he says sarcasticly.Misato gently punches him in the shoulder which makes him smile.Soon,a green jeep arrives with Ritsuko in it.Both misato and justin get in with justin getting the back seat.The jeep then starts moving with ritsuko driving.Ritsuko turns to her friend.Ritsuko:So,how was it.Did you need to use unit 02 at all.Misato:It was fine.And yes,we did have to use unit 02 twice.Ritsuko just looks at misato.Ritsuko:What do you mean TWICE.What exactly happened.Misato:Simple.A fake angel attacked and we thought is was the real one so we had unit 02 engage it but turned out it was indeed fake as it didnt really put up a fight.It was when the real one showed up unit 02 ran out of power.Ritsuko:Wait.If unit 02 ran out of power,how did it get used a second time.Misato remains silent as she doesnt want to expose justin's secret.Ritsuko:Well?Misato:I cant tell you anymore then that.Im sorry.Ritsuko:What.Why?Misato:Because of certain things.Ritsuko:Hmm.Fine.The real 6th angel got beat though right captain.Misato:Of course.Why would it not of been.Ritsuko:Just wondering.The jeep continues but stops as a certain red head pilot jumps in front of it.Asuka:Where's kaji?Misato:Probably at headquarters by now.What a chicken.Asuka:Oh.Well,he promised me he take me on a tour of tokyo 3.Now what am i gonna do.She starts pouting.Misato:I dont know.But you might as well come with us so we can enroll you in school.So get in.Asuka:WHAT!Misato:You heard me.Asuka:Hmph.Fine.She gets in the back with justin who isnt too happy.Asuka:Listen here fourth.Dont touch me,dont speak to me and dont come near me got it.Justin mumbles psycotic dog under his breath.And unfortunantly,asuka heard him.Asuka:What was that fourth.Justin:Nothing.Asuka just stares but turns her head around after being bored.The jeep then picks up shinji and his friends next.Toji and kensuke share the back seat with justin and asuka.Or the devil as they like to call her.While shinji has to sit in misato's lap on count of being no more room.The jeep continues while unit 02 gets picked up by a carrier and is brought to Nerv.Hours later,Justin,shinji and misato are brought back to there place while toji and kensuke get dropped off by the school.Asuka however,has to go to Nerv.Now having arrived at Nerv,Ritsuko leads her into Commander ikari's office.Now both stopped outside the commander's office.Ritsuko turns to asuka.Ritsuko:Allright.Here's what gonna happen.Commander ikari is gonna brief you on your duties here along with you being an Eva pilot.After,we will go see a section 2 agent to find out where your gonna live.Is that understood.Asuka:Yes ma'am.Ritsuko:Good.Now.Commander ikari is waiting for you.Asuka nods and opens the door and goes inside.She is greeted by two men.One at a desk and another standing by said desk.Commander ikari:Are you the second child.Asuka:Yes sir.I'm asuka langley soryu.Commander ikari:Good.The man to my left is sub-commander Fuyutski.When i am gone,he will take over as commander and you will have to obey him.Is that clear.Asuka:Yes sir.Commander ikari:Good.Now about your duties.Your duties will include being here when an angel attacks,coming in for harmonic tests,synch ratio tests and other tests.Your duty will also include sacraficing your own life to kill an angel if needed.Understand.Asuka:Yes sir.Commander ikari:Good.Now.I would like to speak with you on another matter pilot.This matter contains about what happened over seas.Now,would you care to explain.Asuka:Yes.Appearently a fake angel came and attacked us making us belive it was the real one.So,we activated unit 02 and destroyed it.It wasnt till after unit 02 ran out of power,did the real one show up.Commander ikari:And how was it beaten.Asuka:That part i dont know sir.I dont know how it was beaten.Commander ikari:I see.Very well.You are dissmissed.Asuka:Yes sir.Asuka turns around and leaves the room.Fuyutski:Do you belive Seele was behind all of this.Gendo:Of course not.They are, after all,just old men.They couldnt of done this.Fuyutski:But how was a fake angel sent there then.Gendo:You have a point.They might of been the ones.But it matters not,it didnt effect the scenario.Soon,everything they do wont matter.And a smile crepts on his face again.Outside the office,Ritsuko leads asuka through Nerv showing her everything including the changing room.After,they see a section 2 agent to find out where asuka is gonna live.Section 2 agent:I'm sorry.But there is no more rooms available.Ritsuko:What!What do you mean there are no more rooms.Section 2 agent:I'm sorry ma'am.But more people have decided to move down here and so we had to give them rooms.Ritsuko:What.Hmph.Fine.I guess it makes sense.(sighs)Turns her head towards asuka.Come on asuka.You'll have to live with misato.Asuka:What!But arent those two moron eva pilots living with her.Why do i have too.Ritsuko:Because we cant find you a place.And besides,having eva pilots living together will help.Asuka:Schiest.Fine.Ritsuko:Good.But you must first go to school.I already took care of it so you start tomorrow.Asuka:Allright.So,where does misato live anyway.Ritsuko:I'll have to call her to let her know first.She gets her cell phone out and dials misato's phone.At her apartment,misato's phone goes off and ritsuko is surprised at who answerd it.Shinji:Hello.On her cell phone.Ritsuko:Oh,hello shinji.Where's misato?Shinji:She's passed out.Ritsuko:What.But it's not even 5 yet.Shinji:Yeah i know.When we got back,she immediatley got beer from the fridge and started drinking.When she ran out,she got her special booze out and drank it all in one sitting.Then she passed out from it.Ritsuko:Oh,i see.Well,i'll talk to her tomorrow then.Bye.She hangs up the phone while shinji does the same.Ritsuko puts her phone back in her lab coat pocket and sighs.Ritsuko:Well,looks like you wont be going to misato's tonight.Asuka:Hmph.Good.So,where am i gonna stay then.Ritsuko:You'll have to stay in our spare room in my office.Asuka:WHAT!You have a spare room and didnt tell me before.Ritsuko:Well,you see asuka.That room is only used in emergencies and well seeing this is one,you'll have to sleep there tonight.Asuka:Verdammit.Allright.Show me where it is.Ritsuko goes and shows asuka the room.After sometime,they arrive at ritsuko's office and opens the secret door behind her desk.Inside,there's a bathroom with shower and a bed with blankets and a pillow.Ritsuko:Here you go.You'll stay here for the night.Asuka:It's not bad.But what about my clothes.I need clean clothes damn it.Ritsuko:I'll bring your stuff in the morning along with a map to the school.But for now,you'll have to stay in here.Asuka:WHAT!.Ritsuko:You heard me.You cant wonder around.I'm sorry.But that's how it is.Goodnight.And with that,Ritsuko leaves shutting the door behind her.Asuka on the other hand kicks the door hard.The next day at the school,toji,kensuke,shinji and justin are all talking.Toji:Glad we dont have to see the devil again.Kensuke:Yeah.But to bad for those two.Kensuke is point his fing at shinji and justin.Toji:Yeah.They have to work with her.Then they hear the door open to their room and toji looks to see who it is and is shocked.Toji:LLLLOOOKKK!Immediatley the three boys look and are shocked as well.Asuka now enters the room and begins writting her name on the chalk board with chalk and turns around after she's done facing the class.Asuka:Hi.I'm Asuka Langely Soryu.Nice to meet you.Toji,Kensuke,Shinji and Justin are all still shocked.Now after school,Toji and kensuke wave bye to shinji and justin while they begin walking home.Justin:I cant believe that dog is in our class.Shinji:I guess.But she's not that bad.Justin looks at shinji confused.But before he can speak,Asuka catches up.Asuka:There you two idiots are.Both boys turn around.Shinji:Hi asuka.Justin:Hi dogy.Asuka slaps justin.Justin:OW!Why the hell did you do that for.Asuka:Because i wanted too.Anyway,i Saw the way you guys looked when i came in.Pretty surpirsed huh.Shinji:Um,yeah.Justin:Sure.Asuka:Your just a baby.Justin:Yeah.Just like your a dog.Asuka:What was that.Justin:You heard me.But before asuka could do anything,shinji comes between them.Shinji:You guys need to stop.Asuka just walks back to her spot while justin sticks his tongue out.Asuka:Anyway,she's here isnt she.Shinji:Who.Asuka:Are you stupid.The first child of course.Shinji:Oh,Ayanami.He points over to a bench where Rei is reading a book.Asuka walks over to her.Rei continues to read.Asuka steps foward again but Rei still reads.Asuka:Hello.Rei looks up from her book and see's asuka.Asuka:Your Rei Ayanami.The pilot of the prototype.Rei just looks.Asuka:Im Asuka.Asuka langely soryu.The pilot of eva 02.Let's be friends.Rei:Why.Asuka:Why.Because we should.Rei:Only if i'm ordered too.Asuka:Freakazoid.At Nerv HQ,Ritsuko is busy typing on her computer in her office when kaji sneaks up on her by wrapping his arms around her waiste.Ritsuko:Oh,kaji.Kaji:You've lost weight.Ritsuko:Oh,really.Kaji:A women with a mole on her cheek like a tear is destined for heartache and sorrow.Ritsuko:You so sure are you.Well,if your gonna put the moves on me,you need to do it when no one is looking.Ritsuko points at the glass in front of them and see's misato's face pressed against it.She then moves and leaves.Kaji releases his grip and moves in front of her.Ritsuko:It's been a while kaji.Kaji:It's been awhile allright.Ritsuko:You know.Your not as noble as you used to be.The doors open and misato walks in saying he's never been noble in his life.Misato stops.Misato:Your done handing unit 02 over right.Why are you still here.Kaji:I've got orders to stay for a while longer.That way we can all hangout together.Misato:Dont flatter yourself.Then the alarms go off.Misato:What.Enemy attack.In the control room.Shigeru:We got a report about an underwater being heading towards us.We're now sending data.The screen in front shows the wavelength and pattern.Makato:The wavelength pattern is blue.It's confirmed as an angel.Fuyutski:Right.Battle stations.Get katsuragi up here now.As soon as he said that,misato burst into the room.Misato:Is it an angel.Fuyutski turns around.Fuyutski:Perfect timing captain.Get the pilots and prepare for battle.Misato:Understood.She then leaves.A while later,unit's 01,02 and 04 are being carried on transporters with the pilots while misato is on a ground carrier.Misato:The intercept system of tokyo 3 was heavily damaged during the last battle.Only 26% was restored.Operatable equipment at the actual battle is 0.And so,we must get to the shore before the target gets on land and battle it as it rises out.Unit's 01 and 02 will attack one after the other repeatly while unit 04 remains as back up.She has the inside of all three eva's commlink's open and is speaking to the pilots.From Eva 04.Justin:Why do i have to be back up.Misato:Because.Only two eva's are needed.Justin:If that's true,then why am i here in the first place.Misato:Well,er.Oh never mind.We're nearing the drop zone.Get ready for combat.All three pilots:Yes ma'am.From Eva 02.Asuka:This sucks.It's my first battle in japan and i cant do it by myself.Why did i have to have you two morons come.From Eva 01.Shinji:That's the operation.You know.From Eva 04.Justin:Yah.Quit complaining you wimp.From Eva 02.Asuka:Well,just stay out of my way.She then closes the commlinks to the two eva's.In Eva 04, Justin starts swearing and mumbles dog.Soon enough,the three transporters release the Eva's and they land on the ground safely right next to the water's edge.Their Umbilical cabels get pluged in and are now ready.Soon,the angel emerges from the water and stands up.In the ground transporter.Misato:Begin attack.Asuka:Shinji.Cover me.Shinji:Cover you.Asuka:Yeah.Ladies first.Shinji:Damn it.Dont tell me what to do you dumb rookie.Unit 01 starts firing with it's riffle while unit 02 charges at the angel with it's spear.Unit 02 jumps in the air with the angel looking up as well.Asuka:Now die damn you.Unit 02 lands and cuts right down the middle of the angel cutting it in two.Asuka:There.Told you there was no need for you.Shinji:Wow.Then something unexpected happens.The angels face slides off and a new one takes it's place.Unit 02 turns to see.Asuka:What?The angel loses it's skin and becomes two angels.The two angels go back to back both facing unit's 01 and 02.Misato:That's bullshoot.Both angels then attack both unit's.Misato:Unit 04.Go and assist unit's 01 and 02 NOW.Justin:Right.Unit 04 then runs towards the angels.Sometime after the battle,everyone is in the briefing room.Maya:At 10:58:15 a.m today.Unit 01 was attacked by the first angel part known as alpha and sank 2 kilometers from Surugawen bay.Unit 02 was also attacked at 10:58:20 a.m by the second angel part know as beta.And got stuck in a deep hole made by said angel.Now just two minutes after 10:58 a.m,unit 04 went offensive and attacked angel A known as alpha and succeded in defeating it.It was then that angel B known as beta surprised attacked unit 04 and it got stuck in a hole on the shore.Unit 04 got back up after and charged at the angel but got the same fate from before.I believe the chairman can sum it up best.Ritsuko:This is pathetic except for unit 04 who succeded in destroying the first halve of the angel.Asuka now stands up from her seat.Asuka:This is all your fault.First you ruined by debut battle,then that loser fourth child managed to beat one of the angel parts.But more importantly,beat me.Now shinji stands up.Shinji:Me.Your the one who charged in like an idiot.You disregarded the operation.Plus,Justin managed to beat the angel.The first part anyway.Asuka:Idiot.You look like a drowned rat.And the fourth looked like some kid burried him in the sand.Maya:Nerv gave up the plan after unit 04 constantly got beaten at 11:03 A.M.Unit 04 did however,manage to damage the second angel some.But a order was still given to the UN.Fuyutski:This is embarrasing.Maya:After the N2 mine exploded,only 28% of the angel was damaged.Fuyutski:Well,at least it took more damage.Asuka:So,is it dead.Fuyutski:No.Not quite.It's barely alive.With all the damage it took from the N2 mine and the damage unit 04 manage to do to it,it's regenerating it's body now.It will attack again in 6 days.Kaji:Well,at least we have time to regroup.And what could possibly be better then that.Fuyutski:Listen.Do you know what your job is.Asuka:To pilot eva.Fuyutski:No.It's to beat the angels.We dont exist for embarrasments like the ones today.You two should be more like pilot powers who manage to fight.So,therefore,you two will live together for now on and learn to work together.Asuka and shinji:Why should we.Fuyutski:Enough!He then leaves.Asuka and Shinji both go sit down.Asuka:Why do grown ups get so pissed.Kaji:Credibility.It's an adult thing.Shinji:Where's misato?Kaji turns his head to shinji.Kaji:Oh she's taking care of everything.It's the responsibility for the person in charge of operations.Shinji:Oh.Hey.Have you seen justin then.Kaji:Well,i've heard he's with misato.In misato's office.Misato is sitting in her desk with big stacks of papers.Ritsuko is standing in front of her so is justin.Ritsuko:Would you look here.You've got papers for protesting,reports for damage and a bill from the UN.Also,some complaints from the public.And while i'm at it,Asuka is gonna be living with you for now on as well.Misato:What.Why.With the boys,we barely got any room.Ritsuko:I realize that mrs drunk.But it's more efficent that pilots stay together.Misato:Fine.Hey.What do you mean mrs drunk huh.Ritsuko:Oh,nothing.Misato:Hmmm.Anyway,i already know what all these papers say,dont fight here right.Ritsuko:That's a good guess.The sub-commander wasnt exactly happy except with the fact that justin manage to defeat the first angel halve.But otherwise,he's pretty pissed.Misato:I know.After i beat this angel,we wont fight here anymore.I will beat this angel.Justin:I dont know about that.This angel can split in two.And seems dangerous.I dont think it can be beat with one eva anyway.Misato:Maybe that's right.Your eva only defeated the first halve.We may have to come up with a plan.Justin:Well,good luck with that.And just so you know,your lucky the commander wasnt here.If he saw what happened,you'd get fired without a second thought.With that,justin turns to leave before misato calling out to him again.Misato:Where are you going.Justin:Where do you think.I'm going to unit 04 and finishing off those angels.Misato:Jeez.Why didnt i think of that.That's perfect.Finish the angels off before they regenerate.That's good thinking.But can you handle it by yourself.Justin:Of course.While they regenerate,they cant attack right.Since that's the case,i'll finish them off with one blow.Ritsuko:But our caculations indicate that the angels AT field is still up.You cant break through.Justin:Sure i can.Everything breaks with something right.Ritsuko:But your eva took damage and needs to be repaired.How will you fight with a damaged eva.Justin shakes his head.Justin:Wernt you listening to what i said.It's regenerating.It's AT field is weak while it's healing.Plus,it cant do anything.So a damaged eva can beat it.Regardless.Ritsuko:Sorry.But i wont let you.Your eva will be repaired.You can attack when the 6 days are up.Justin:What.But if we dont do something,it could end up stronger.Ritsuko:Sorry.But that's an Order.Justin:Hmph.Fine.He walks up to misato's desk.Justin:So,any idea's.Misato:Not one.Ritsuko:I've got one.She pulls out a disk from her pocket and hands it to misato who takes it.Misato looks down at the disk in her hand before looking up again.Misato:So,you decided to help me dear friend.Ritsuko:Nope sorry.I'm not the one helping.It's mr.Kaji's idea.Misato:Kaji?Hmmm.Justin:Well,as interesting as this is,i'm gonna leave.Ritsuko turns around.Ritsuko:Your not going to the eva cage are you.Justin:Me.No.Ritsuko:Hope not.You've been ordered not too by me.Justin:I know.He then leaves.He catches up with shinji just as he was gonna leave.So,he calls out to him.Justin:Hey.Shinji.Shinji turns around after hearing that and smiles.Justin quickly catches up with him and both boys walk out.Shinji:Um,good job with beating the angel.Justin:Huh,oh sure.It was no big deal.Shinji:Yes.But still.It actually spliting in two like that,that's incredible.I just hope no more can do that.Both boys share a laugh at that.Justin:Yes.That would be bad.(to himself)Unfortunantly for you lilims,i posses that power.But i cant use it till the time is right.Now out of his thoughts.At least Asuka wont be living with us.Shinji:Yah i suppose.But she's not so bad.Justin just gives him a look.Soon,they arrive back at the apartment with a surprise waiting.As they head down the corridor,they see some boxes outside and both boys look at each other before opening the door to their apartment.And inside they find Asuka in a blue tank top in blue jean shorts drinking pop.Asuka turns around and see's both boys standing there with their mouths open.Asuka walks over to them.Asuka:Why are you two stil here.Shinji:Still here.Justin:What does that mean you but before he finished,asuka slaps him and he hits the ground.He immediately gets back up.Justin:Why the hell you do that for.Asuka:For what you were gonna say dummpkoft.Justin:You dont know what i was gonna say witch.Anyway,why the hell are YOU here.Asuka:Simple.I'm here to replace you two morons.Shinji and Justin:What?Asuka:That's right.Misato's gonna live with me instead of you two jerks which is more logical.But i honestly want to live with Kaji.Both boys just give a look.Justin:Shinji.You might want to check your room because i see your stuff in a box over there.He points with his finger.Shinji looks and freaks out while running towards his room.He opens it and is shocked too see a bunch of boxes in it.Asuka appears behind him.Asuka:What the hell are you doing to MY room.Shinji looks behind him.Shinji:What do you mean YOUR room.Asuka:You heard me.Speaking of which,why are japanese rooms so small anyway.I couldnt even fit half my stuff in.She begins sliding the door open and shut.She then continues talking.What's with no locks on this damn door.Who ever heard of a door without a lock.Unbelievable.Misato soon appears behind her.Misato:The japanese way is to consider others before yourself.From down the hall she heard justin say ya right and your not considerate yourself.Asuka turns around shocked.Misato:How's it going.You guys are gonna love living together.She heard justin say frack no.Justin runs up to her from down the hall.Justin:Why the hell is she gonna live with us.I thought you just say japanese people consider others before themselfs.If that's true,you most certantly didnt consider us.Misato just pats his head with her hand.Misato:True.But this way is more efficent.Justin wishpers efficent my @$$.Unfortunantly,misato heard him but isnt gonna do anything.Misato:You three are gonna learn to get along.Asuka:What!Shinji:Why?Justin:I'm moving out.Misato:Now then.We will begin your training now.Misato's cell phone then rings and she gets it out of her jacket and answers it.Misato:Hello.On the other end.Ritsuko:Katsuragi.Get down here.The angel finished regenerating allready.Misato:WHAT!But what about our plan.I thought it wasnt suppose to attack for 6 days.Ritsuko:I thought so too.But it's finished.It's merged back together and heading towards us.You've got to get here.Misato:Right.She hangs up and puts the phone away.She then turns to the kids.Misato:Listen up.The angel has already finished healing.It was faster then we thought.We must get you to Nerv fast.But before we do,i got something to say.You guys must work together to beat this angel.In other words,synchronize with each other.Understand.Asuka:What the hell.No way am i synchronizing with these idiots.I can beat it this time for sure.Justin:Sure you can.Just like last time.She's right.Our only option is to synchronize.Or at least attack at the same time.Asuka:Hmph.Fine.You do got a point fourth.But that's the only point you have.Got it.Justin:Whatever.Misato:See.Your getting along already.Shinji:I hate to interrupt,but their's an emergency if you forgot.Misato:Right.Let's go.All three children nod and head out.At Nerv command center.Shigeru:The target broke through the defense at Gora.Makoto:The target is gonna go through the mountain to reach us.We see the 7th angel going around the mountain with aircrafts circling around it in case it attacks.Ritsuko:Is Captain katsuragi here yet?Just when she said that,the doors open and misato comes rushing in.Misato:Im sorry we're late.The children are already in there eva's.Launch them now with out there external batteries attached to make the battle easier.Maya:Right.Now launching Eva unit's 01,02 and 04.All three Eva's get launched and fly in the air where the angel has made it into the city.The angel see's them and shoots a laser blast at them knocking them into the ground.The three unit's get up.All three unit's charge at the angel but it shoots another laser blast knocking unit 02 back while unit's 01 and 02 charge in attacking the core making it split in half.The two angels fire laser blasts at them but both Eva's dodge them gracefully while back flipping avoiding each attack.Both Eva's land near unit 02 when it get's up again.The two angels float up and flies towards their enemy and missed because a sheild rised up from below and stop them.The shield is now protecting the three Eva's so they can form a plan.From unit 02.Asuka:You idiots are screwing up.We need a plan.From unit 04.Justin:We.You got hit.It's your fault.But we do need something.From unit 01.Shinji:When i count to three,two of you charge in and attack each core while i jump up and draw my progressive knife.When i do,draw yours.Understand.Justin:Yes.Asuka:Who the hell made you boss.Why should we listen to you Baka.Justin:Shutup asuka.It's a good plan.And the only one we have.Let's do it.Shinji:Right.But then the angels rip apart the shield and attack the Eva's.Shinji:Go.Unit's 02 and 04 rush and tackle the angels while unit 01 jumps up in the air.Unit's 02 and 04 kick the angels core's with there foot knocking them back while unit 01 draws it's progressive knife out.The two unit's do the same and all three slam there knifes into the once again whole angel's core thus destroying it.In the command room everyone starts celebrating.Misato:They did it.Then the monitors clear and they see unit's 02 and 04 fighting while unit 01 stands back.Misato:What the hell are they doing.Shinji stop them.From Eva 01.Shinji:I cant.It started right after the angel got killed.Justin called asuka a dog and she wasnt happy.So,they started fighting.In the command room.Fuyutski stands in gendo's place.Fuyutski:Those two children are being annoying.I didnt expect this from the fourth child.Gendo wont like this.To be continued.
