Chapter 34 - A hot struggle

It is now the next day and both pilots were released from there prison early.Asuka is shopping downtown with Kaji.Asuka:I'm so glad i'm going shopping with you kaji.Kaji just looks ahead and both continue walking with asuka hanging around kaji's arm.Soon,they are in a swimsuit part of a store they went in.Kaji:Hey!Isnt this the swimsuit section.Asuka comes out from behind a line of different swimsuits.Asuka:uh,huh.What do you think of this one?She holds up a fairly skimpy swimsuit which is red with white stripes.Kaji:Um,arent you a little young to wear something like that.Asuka:Come on kaji.It's what all the girls wear.After that,they leave and go to an outside coffee shop and sit.Kaji:Oh,is that right.Asuka is sitting across the table from kaji.Asuka:Yep.It's gonna be great.Kaji:So,where are you exactly going.Asuka:O-ki-na-wa!We're going scubba diving.Kaji:Scubba diving huh.It's been years since the last time i went diving.Asuka:Where did you go for your school trip.Kaji:We never had one.Asuka:Why is that?Kaji:A little thing called second impact.Asuka:Oh.Kaji:Well,i think i should get you home so you can pack.Asuka:Right.Both people get up and head for kaji's car and get in.Kaji starts the car up and takes asuka back to the apartment.An hour later,they arrive at the apartment and kaji drops asuka off who blows him a kiss before heading inside.Inside the apartment,asuka puts her stuff down before getting a surprise.In the bathroom,a certain penguin is bathing peacefully in the tub until a certain red head's voice disturbs it.In the kitchen.Asuka:What!Did you just say i cant go.Misato:That's right.She takes a sip from a stronger beer brand can.Asuka:What idiot decided this.Misato puts the can down.Misato:This one.PenPen walks out of the bathroom and quickly heads inside his fridge because he knows a battle is gonna happen.Asuka:So,we're on standby right.Misato:Right.Asuka:That's stupid.Misato:It's in case an angel attacks while your gone so that's why you cant go.Asuka:But still.A good deffense is a good offense.Why do we have to wait till they attack.Why cant we go find them and kill them.Misato:If we could,we would.Besides,that's under investigation by Ritsuko and Justin.We'll know if we can do that soon.Asuka:Hmph.She turns to shinji whos drinking tea out of a cup.Asuka:Damn it shinji.Quit hiding behind that cup and talk to this women.Be a man.Shinji puts his cup down.Shinji:I actually knew we couldnt go so.Asuka:So,you gave up then.Shinji:Right.Asuka sighs.Asuka:There's nothing worst then a male who's housebroken.Shinji:Dont talk about me like that.Misato:Enough!Both kids stop and turn there attention to there guardian.Misato:I know you wish to go but this can give you an oppertunity to catch up with your studies.As soon as she said that,the door to the apartment opens and justin walks in almost walking into the kitchen until he heard misato talk about school work,so he decides to watch from out of sight.Misato holds up three disks which are report cards that have asuka's,shinji's and justin's grades.Misato:Oh,look here.It would seem i have your report cards.Both children gulp.Misato:Did you two actually think i wouldnt know of your test scores.I'll have you know all of your grades get sent to my terminal.So,i can know your grades without waiting for your report cards.And i also know about your test scores.And i must say.I'm very dissapointed in both of you.Asuka:What do you mean the BOTH of us.What about the 4th child.Misato:What about him?According to his report card,he's been doing very well considering it's a japanese school.Asuka:Japanese school?Hmph.Didnt you know.The 4th child drop out of school.Misato:What!That cant be true.If it was,i wouldnt have his report card with.Asuka:Of course.But it's true alright.The report card you have,is fake.From what i've heard,he dropped out some time ago.Before i even came.He just appeared in class so no one would suspect anything.He's fooled everyone.Including YOU.Misato looks at justin's report card and notices something odd about it.She puts her finger on it and touches it.She notices it's sticky and crushes it and turns out to be gum in shape of a report card.Misato throws the gum and is now very pissed.Justin who's watching from the hallway,decides to leave.Justin:shoot.That big mouth ape told her.I'm gonna get it if i stay here.I better leave.Justin get's up and starts walking down the hall to the door but unfortunantly bumps into a drawer with a vase of flowers on it on his way and the vase falls off making a big crashing noise.In the kitchen,all three people hear the crash and get up to check it out.When they peek into the hallway,they see justin who's trying to sneak to the door now that he's got everyone's attention.Asuka get's a smile on her face because she know's justin is gonna get it so she goes back into the kitchen while pulling shinji.Misato however,just stares before speaking.Misato:So,how was school?Justin turns around and looks at misato who's very unhappy.Justin gulps Because he knows he's caught.Misato:Well?He doesnt answer.Misato then decides to walk up to him so she does.She's now in front of him staring at him mad.Misato:Are you gonna speak or just stand there all day.I DO want an explanation for why you dropped out of school.Again,he just stands there.Misato however isnt gonna give up.Misato:ALLRIGHT.YOUR GONNA QUIT BEING SO DAMN SILENT AND EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT YOU WERE THINKING WHEN YOU DROPPED OUT.NOW!Justin decides to look up and still see's misato's face red with anger.So,he decides to speak.Justin:You want to know so damn badly why i dropped out.I'll tell you.It's for japanese people you ding dong.I'm not exactly japanese nor can i speak it.I wont go to a school that's for japanese kids.Got it.Misato:Oh,no,no,no.Your gonna go either willing or non willing.It's your choice.But remember this.She bends down to be eye level with justin.Misato:I'm your guardian.And i decide what you do.Some things you can choose to do or not.But things like school and piloting eva.Those are choices i will make.Understand.Justin:No.Misato:What did you say.Justin:I said no.I will not do what you wish for me to do.Your not even fit to be a guardian.In fact,your a poor excuse for one.Justin then turns around and heads for the door before misato grabs him tightly by the shoulders and turns him around to face her.Misato:Your not gonna leave.Justin:And your gonna do what?Lock me in a cell.Pff.Dream on.In case your drunk brain forgot,i'm half angel.Even as a half angel,i still have power you could never have or dream about.I am superior to you lilims.All us angels are.So,you cant do nothing.Unless,you wish to be killed.Misato get's up and looks away.Justin just smirks.Justin:I see your choice is made.Now maybe you'll think about what you say to an angel next time.He then turns around and leaves the apartment through the door.Misato just stands there speechless.The next day,all the classmates of shinji and asuka has left on the plane to there school trip.At Nerv.Operator:Paste the data of Mt.Asamayama from Baltasar to Melchiar.Maya is sitting at her station reading her book while Makoto reads a comic and Shigeru practices playing a pretend guitar?Just above them Ritsuko and Misato are talking.Ritsuko:A school trip during a time like this.Seems a little useless.Misato:Well,i think it's to let them have fun while they can.You arent a kid forever you know.And in a time like this.She sighs.You never know when you could die.Ritsuko looks down on her clipboard she has with.Ritsuko:That is true.Misato:Anyway,where's the 4th child?I've havent seen him since yesterday.Ritsuko:Justin?He came in early today.Misato looks shocked.Misato:Early?Why wasnt i told of this.Ritsuko:Because,i have an assignment for him to do and i didnt want you to know.Misato:So,you had him come in without my knowledge then?Ritsuko:Correct.Misato sighs again.Misato:So,what kind of assignment did you give him.Ritsuko looks down on her clipboard before speaking again.Ritsuko:I had him go to mt.Asamayama with unit 04.Misato:Why?You dont think an angel is there do you.Ritsuko:It's a possibility.The data we recieved from the research center there shows that an unkown object is within the volcano.And could be an unhatched angel.Misato:An unhatched angel?Well,how's unit 04 gonna go in.It's currently in the A type equipment.Ritsuko takes off her glasses.Ritsuko:You told him i wanted to learn about unit 04 right.Misato:Right.Ritsuko:That's what i did.While i did have to remove the wings,i added a new program into the system that'll allow unit 04 to change into a certain type equipment.Misato:What type?Ritsuko:Many.It can change into the standard A type equipment,the B type equipment which gives it a little more deffense but unable to combat underwater,the C type equipment which allows you to fight underwater but unable to fight on land,the D type equipment which allows you to dive into extremely hot temperatures like a volcano,the E type equipment which gives you a temperary attack and speed boost and the F type equipment which gives it wings to fly.So,you see.Unit 04 is now ready for all combat sitiuations.Misato:Wow!But could it work on the other Eva's?Ritsuko:Unfortunantly,no.Unit 04 seems to be the only one that accepted the program.Trying it on the other evangelions would probably be a bad idea.There's no telling what could happen.Misato:I see.Ritsuko:Oh and another thing.The evangelion's color also changes when it uses a specific equipment.Misato:What do you mean?Ritsuko:I mean when unit 04 uses the D type equipment,it'll turn red with orange much like unit 02.It'll change colors to match the equipment except for the standard one that is.Misato:I see.That's good.At Mt.Asamayama volcano,unit 04 has now arrived at the volcano's edge.Justin:So,this is where that unkown object is huh.Look's hot.But then again,it is a volcano.Well,time to get going.Justin reaches for a secret button behind the seat and presses it.A screen in front tells him the D type equipment is on and then dissapears.Justin:Good.I'm all set.Unit 04 is now red with orange much like unit 02.Unit 04 crouches down before diving into the volcano head first.In the lava,the temperature isnt effecting unit 04 at all thanks to the D type equipment.Unit 04 continues to swim downward.In the entry plug.Justin:Wow.I cant see anything.The heat outside must be effecting my sight.From the research center.Tech 1:Pilot powers.Can you read me?From unit 04:Yes.Tech 1:Good.You are currently at 500 ft.The target is estimated to be at 4500 ft which is near the bottom.Can you handle it.Unit 04:Yes ma'am.In the volcano,unit 04 continues it's trip down untill it stops.Justin:What the hell?That's an but before he could finish the unkown thing that caught the pilot's attention attacks knocking unit 04 towards the volcano wall.A commlink opens in the entry plug from the research center.Tech 1:Pilot powers.What is happening?Justin:I dont know.Something is attacking.I thought you said the unkown object is at 4500 ft.Because from where i am,it's only been 1500 ft.Tech 1:No.My data shows the target is at 4500 ft.You must be but before she finished,the unit is attacked.Last thing she heard was the scream of the pilot.The screen in front shows unit 04 deactivated.Tech 1:What?No.I have to contact Nerv about this.She grabs the phone and calls Nerv.At Nerv,the phone rings and ritsuko answer's it.Ritsuko:Hello?Tech 1:Dr.Akagi?This is one of the techs from the research center.Ritsuko:Oh,hi.Did you find anything out?Tech 1:Sort of but you need to get here quickly.Ritsuko:Why?What happened.Tech 1:To put it simple,unit 04 was attacked by something and lost contact with the pilot.Ritsuko:What do you mean lost contact with the pilot.Tech 1:It's like i said.Unit 04 was attacked by something unkown and we lost communication.Ritsuko:I see.Very well.I will send Captain Katsuragi and one of our tech's there to investigate.Tech 1:But ma'am.What about the pilot.Ritsuko:No need to worry.Unit 04 will keep him alive as long as it's attached still.Tech 1:Allright.She hangs up so does the doctor.Ritsuko looks over to her friend who's looking at her seriously.Misato:What happened.I heard you say something about the pilot.What exactly happened?Ritsuko:I really dont know but from what i heard,something unkown attacked unit 04 out of the blue.Misato:Was it the same unkown object you spoke of.Ritsuko:We dont know.For all we know,there could be two unkown objects in there.Misato:Well,are we gonna send help to retrieve him or what.Ritsuko:No.For now,i'm sending you and a tech to investigate what happened.Once we know,we can form a plan for beating whatever it was and rescue the pilot.As of this point,the pilots life is of none importance.The one priority is to find out what happened before taking any action.Do you understand.Misato just looks down a bit angry about what she said but also knows it's true.She then looks back up.Misato:Allright.I'm going to the research center now.You dont need to send one of our techs with,i'm sure one at the research center can help.She then leaves.Ritsuko just sits there wondering.In the Nerv pool.Shinji is at one of the table's working on a assignment on his laptop untill asuka comes up with that one swimsuit she bought.Asuka:What are you working on now Mr perfect.Shinji:Just studying.Asuka:You really are obedient arent you.Shinji:Well,i should.He then looks up and nearly faints because of the swimsuit asuka has on.Asuka:Well,if i cant go diving at Okinawa,i'll do it here.Shinji:O...okay.She then bends down to look and just smiles and begins typing until.Asuka:Finished.Shinji:How did you manage to work a hard problem like that out and end up failing.Asuka:It's because i dont know what the questions say.Shinji:You mean you cant read the questions in japanese.Asuka:No.I didnt learn all my kanji yet.But i never had to study this in college.Shinji:You went to college allready?Asuka:Yep.I graduated last year.So,what does this question say.Shinji:It's a question about thermo-expansion.Asuka:Are you serious.Hmph.It's easy.Look.If i warm up my breasts with my hands,will they grow or shrink.Shinji turns around blushing.Shinji:I dont know.I dont think about those kinds of things.Asuka:You are boring.She turns around and heads for the end of the pool and shinji turns back around.He then notices Rei drying off.Asuka:Hey shinji.Look.Look.Shinji turns around and see's asuka in scubba gear on the edge of the pool.Asuka:Backroll entry.She dives in and shinji just sighs.At the Mt.Asamayama research center.Tech 1:The limit has been passed enough.It wont go any farther.Misato:500 more.Tech 1:But.Misato:I said 500 more.Tech 1:Yes ma'am.The probe continues it's decent into the volcano.Tech 2:Depth is 1200.Anti-pressure armor is cracked.It wont stand any more.Tech 1:Captain.Misato:If it breaks,we'll buy a new one.200 more.The probe continues down despite how much pressure it's has.Tech 3:We detect something on the monitor.Misato:Bring it up.Tech 3:Right.The tech types on the keyboard making the monitor appear in front of everyone showing the inside of the volcano.It also shows what that unkown object that attacked unit 04.Misato:Analysis it NOW!Tech 1:Yes.The tech types on the keyboard until a bing is heard.Tech 1:Analysis complete.The unkown object is now being identified.Identification complete.Misato looks on the smaller screen in front of the tech.Misato:I see.The screen says:WAVELENGTH PATTERN-Blue.Misato:It's an angel allright.Tech 3:The probe was attacked.The probe is gone.Misato:That's allright.We now know what attacked unit 04.Listen up.This research center is now under the juristriction of Nerv.The info contained here will be kept here.It shall not leave.Also,any unauthorized phone calls made to the outside world,is strictly not Allowed.Understand.All the tech's nod.Misato:Good.At a secret location,a meeting is being held by Seele.SEELE 02:What do you mean unit 04 was attacked?Gendo:It's correct.Unit 04 was indeed attacked by an unkown enemy in the volcano according to Dr.akagi.SEELE 04:But how is that possible.Unit 04 is one of the best evangelion's.It's one of the strongest.How could it lose.SEELE 01:Yes Ikari.Explain how this happen.Gendo:It's like i said.We only found out by the data we got.But you dont need to worry.We will not be defending for long.We will go offensive soon enough.SEELE 02:But you better still watch what you say to us and what you do.Understand.Gendo:Of course.SEELE 05:Good.But the rest of our meeting is of no concern to you.You may leave.Gendo:Understood.Gendo leaves the meeting.SEELE 03:How is this possible.That angel boy shouldnt have been beaten so easily.If he manage to fight those other angels,there should be no reason why he couldnt win this fight.SEELE 03:Correct.But it was unexpected,like most disaster's are.This will most likely disrupt our plans.SEELE 01:Yes.It most likely will.But that does not mean we cant alter it a bit.SEELE Chairman:Of course.For our goal to be accomplished,we shall have to make adjustments to make it obtainable.But what Ikari said about unit 04,his loyalty is becoming questinable.In the Nerv briefing room.A giant picture of the angel is shown in front of everyone.Shinji:This is the angel right.Ritsuko:Yes.But because of it hatching out of it's chrysalis or egg,it manage to get hold of eva 04 and defeated it quickly.And thus proves it must of became stronger before unit 04 even went in.Asuka:So,how are we to beat it if it defeated unit 04 so easily?Ritsuko:Simple.You battle it like any other angel but be extra careful.It's strength is strong.Understand.Shinji,Auska and Rei:Yes.Ritsuko:Good.Now who's gonna go in and rescue unit 04 and defeat the angel.Shinji(whsipers):It'll be me again.Asuka:I want too.Shinji turns his head towards asuka.Ritsuko:Really?Asuka:Yes.Since unit 04 failed,i shall succeed where that loser didnt.Ritsuko:Should of known.Allright.Unit 02 will be using the D type equipment much like unit 04 did but with some differences.Asuka:Right.Ritsuko:Unit 01 will be at the sight incase something goes wrong.Shinji:Right.Rei:What about me.Maya:The D type equipment wont work on unit 00 because of it being the prototype.Ritsuko:Yes.So,unit 00 will be on standby here.Rei:Understood.Asuka turns to rei and starts making fun of her because she cant go.Inside the Mt.Asamayama volcano at the bottom.Unit 04 suddenly reactivates.In the entry plug.Justin:Uggh.What happened.Uggh.Where am i.Unit 04 moves it's head to look around.Justin:Oh,that's right.I went in the volcano to find out what that unkown object was.It was an angel.But it was a strong angel none the less.But wow,it can really fight.I didnt stand a chance.I wonder if it's still around.Unit 04 continues to look around but dont see any sign of the angel.Justin:It's gone?But where it gone is the question.Suddenly,a screen appears in front saying enemy attack.Warning.Enemy attack.Justin:Oh frack.The angel rams unit 04 knocking it further down.Justin:Damn it.I cant get up or i be kicking that thing's @$$ now.I took a lot of damage before,so i cant get up.What the hell am i gonna do.The angel descends upwards then rushes back down headbutting unit 04 in the back.Justin:Damn it.The angel then streches it's arm and grabs unit 04 by the neck and the angel pulls it up towards it before bitting it.Justin:.........DAMN IT.GET OFF.The angel let's go of it's prey and drops it towards the bottom.Unit 04 barely lifts it's head up to see the angel rushing towards it.Justin:shoot.I'm deffensless.The angel rams into unit 04's head thus knocking it and the pilot out again.To be continued.
