Evangelion: The World Set Free

[CJ1145]

The pilots of the other Evas, and the collection of gawking scientists clustered into the Command Central could vaguely make out a noise. It was low, and difficult to decipher, though a few may have picked it out for what it was: gurgling. In the gory show that Piggy displayed, the spotlight had been removed from the equally agonizing fate of his older compatriot. As the great Angel, a being of a million specks forced its way around the chubby boy and his beast, Rev and his were picked up from the earth. One hundred thousand bugs, maybe more on each arm conglomerated into singular entities. They pushed up, departing from the ground below with their martyr.

They pulled the Eva taught. Rev felt his arms twisted as they were pulled out horizontally from his body. His legs dangled in the air, their immense strength useless in this situation. Then, another swarm descended. A pair of forceps, at least in the eyes of Rev swooped down and smashed itself into the Eva's teeth. Though the twilight beast struggled to clamp its jaws shut, the force of the Angel was greater. Its mouth was opened wide, and Rev's did the same. In moments, thousands of the tiny insects piled into the beast's maw and down its throat. And there they began to spin.

Like an array of blades they spun, tearing and gnashing at the esophagus of the Eva. A pitiful roar, whether a cry of defiance or a pained cry for help drifted up from the cacophony within the beast's throat. And at the same moment Rev felt a pain a thousand times worse than any he could have imagined. Tears streamed down his face as he attempted to scream. But he was unable to. The Angel had him in its grip. And there was nothing he could do.

"No."

He did not speak, but his words rang true. His Eva felt it; an odd reverberation chimed through his... not his body. His soul? In a moment of revelation, the tears stopped as Rev pondered. Had the Angel heard him too.

"NO." he stated again. To what end he did not know, but he felt something. A welling in the pit of his stomach, separate from the insects tearing away at him. His mind began to cloud. A pricking in his head grew strong and loud, until it was an unbearable roar. At long last, he could hold it in no more. His jaw moved, and a scream erupted from within.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

The Eva roared, its darkened maw spewing forth a fountain of blood, inside of it the drowning bodies of a hundred thousand insects. Its eyes were as red as its blood.

"90% synchronization! It's berserking!"

The Eva ripped its arms forwards, the insects scattering apart along with bits of flesh and armor. Rev fell to the earth, impacting with the kinetic force of a cluster of bunker busters. But the Eva absorbed the impact into its legs, crouching before leaping into the sky once more. Rev had promised that he would not jump again; he had made no promises on what his Eva chose to do.

When they finally landed, the distance traveled seemed to nearly be measurable by kilometers. It had barely touched ground before it began sprinting, the umbilical cord barely keeping up with the strain without tearing itself apart. By now most of the Angel had gained a considerable distance on it and Rev, but that gap was closed quickly. With another leap, they came crashing down from above. The AT Field of the Angel was in its path, but they seemed to care little. Their hands moved as one, striking down with ferocity as they attempted to shred the field away.

In his mind, Rev felt the pressure of the Eva bear down on him like a weight, crushing him underneath its burden. He pushed back, but no tidal wave came; he was trapped underneath. He grew flatter, pressed deeper underneath the force, but he knew what would happen if he became entirely flat. He focused himself, he remembered what little training he had had. He would not let the Eva take complete control.

"Find Core. Kill Angel. Save friends."

He gave the orders. He would not be a pawn. He was the pilot, and the machine would do what he said. It had to.

"Find Core. Kill Angel. Save friends."

He repeated it, again and again. The rage did not lessen, but he felt it sharpen. It had direction, it had focus, or at least he hoped so. The pressure rang in reverberation with his thoughts, until they resonated as one.

"FIND CORE. KILL ANGEL. SAVE FRIENDS."

Spoiler: OOC

Sorry if I'm going a little overboard with berserking second post, but I figured a berserker with 3 months of training isn't likely to keep cool for long.

 

[Grim327]

Grim saw the others' Evas move into action with one firing the positron cannon, and another going berserk. Grim decided to do something as well to try and keep the monster from hitting the city. He took aim with his Long Maz Mk ll and fired a triplet of shots. Each rang out and sped directly for the beast. Grim didn't believe that he would hurt the angel. He was just hoping to get its attention off the city.

"HQ, do you have any useful information about how to hurt this damn thing?" Grim asked in an irritated tone.

 

[TheNaut131]

Pollux was taking everything in. Things were going to hell in a hand basket real fast. Pollux had pulled back after Addi's attack, watching the way the sprites moved, the energy of the A.T fields, them devouring Rev, him going berserk right before their very eyes, but something else stood out. Unit-31 was taking it all in as well, and Pollux felt a tingle in his head. They both knew.


"Grim, Director sir, command, everyone, listen up. I'm not sure you guys saw it, but Addi's little shot revealed something interesting. Those little guys clustered, just as the blast hit. But before that I noticed a strange flux in their A.T fields, or should I say one A.T. field. I-I think it was a command. This angel is weak, extremely weak. Before we arrived, we could barely see the damn swarm. It was simply obliterating everything in it's path, but not in this large a cluster. They were just a few minor pin pricks, now they're a giant cloud of death! It wants to...absorb us, eat us, drain us, or something else along those lines. Thats why it was devouring everything, it's trying to gain mass, energy, and anything else it needs to stay alive and finish us off. And we're the most powerful things in the area. We can't let it finish any us off!"

Pollux couldn't tell if anyone was actual listening, they probably thought he was wasting time, but he kept going.

"Listen, I'll get to the point. I know where the angel and it's core is. The way they bunched up for that shot, the way they were moving all this time! They formed a shield in the air but it stretched mostly to the ground, forming a canopy! The angel is underground! They formed that beast to simply move the the angel, the Hive! We can't let Rev get his ass chewed up. He may be going berserk, but he still doesn't hold a chance against this thing if he doesn't know where to aim and doesn't have the brain to get away! We have to keep him tamed. If the angel does devour him we'll have a bigger threat to deal with!"

 

[Mr.Ivebeenframed]

A silence tore through Addison's capsule as she absorbed what Pollux had to say. As she thought, her EVA grew restless not keeping still for her to think correctly. Finally she moved, heading closer to the swarm but mostly to get to Pollux.

"Pollux, get ready to throw me into the air." Addison said bluntly into the comms. If Pollux was indeed correct then Addison thought up the only way to get rid of the Angel and control Rev's berserk EVA that she knew of. She risked the Railgun overheating and potentially damaging her EVA but she knew the risks the instant it came to mind.

"I trust that you aren't going to throw me into the atmosphere." Addison continued. With each stride closer she diverted most of her energy into cooling the railgun as quickly as possible.

 

[Asclepion]

Then the angel showed me a river with the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God.
- Revelation 22:1

--

The Angel Kemuel was ripping streets apart. The noise was terrifying. A sprinting Evangelion stomped through a commercial district, crushed buildings and telephone poles beneath huge feet, and annihilated a parking structure. They were in a hurry, and buildings could be fixed.

A railgun shot went straight through Kemuel, killing scores of the Spawn, disrupting it's shape and carving a trench that stretched whole blocks and only stopped when it collapsed an apartment building. More shots were pelting the beast. The berserk Eva bellowed a roar. The dust beast was morphing, a second mouth and set of eyes sprouting from it's rear. There was no front or back to this thing. It could face every direction!

But Pollux was right. The angel was leaving a deep trench. Beneath the warzone of a city, beneath the beast and covered by particles was a huge crystalline orb of interwoven glass-like threads. At the center lies a red Angel Core.

 

[TheNaut131]

"I got you Addi! I'm ready!"

Unit-31 tensed up for Addi's approach. Pollux positioned the Eva, it's fingers interlocking, balancing itself. Pollux was fairly sure he knew what Addi was trying, and knew they had to act fast. The berserking Rev didn't seem to close to the blast zone, but that could change any moment. It was now or never. Addi came running at full force and could tell she was trying to get her rail gun to cool down as quickly as possible. We only had a small window. The sprites had formed a a ring, defending all sides, but had left the air above them relatively defenseless.

"Alright Addi, let's do this!"

Pollux was a bit worried about the collateral damage, and chances of the ground collapsing around them, but Pollux's thoughts were interrupted by a tingle. An idea? What was Unit-31 thinking? Addi came running full force, her Eva tearing through the ground, sprinting towards him. Pollux felt Unit-31's arms tense up, but he also felt the energy of the A.T field being focused there as well. Quiet a bit of it actually.

"Dioscuri, what the hell are you doing?"

Addi stomped on Unit-31's hand, lifting her up, and she was sent flying full force into the air. A pulse of A.T. energy propelled her, launching her higher and higher at immense speed. It was unbelievable! What had just happened? Had Unit-31 overdone it? Addi was shaking a bit, but she eventual reached maximum height and positioned herself. She shook off whatever had just happened, only briefly surprised about the extra boost.

"Addi, do it!"

 

[Asclepion]

Berserkers gonna berserk.

 

[Mr.Ivebeenframed]

Addison was suspended in mid-air trying to focus hard on the task at hand but she found herself stuck on the trigger. She tried to speak, tried to warn the others that she might not make the shot but words could not escape. The sense of the fate of the world on her shoulders wrecked havoc on her nerves just as Addison thought she could take it. She watched as the swarm of locusts descend around the NERV headquarters. Addison could feel the temperature drop around her. She wanted to see how high she was, if she could see the stars.

-------------------------------------------------

Stars. They twinkled high that night. The look of the illuminated sallow laboratory buttons multiplied by at least a thousand. It wasn't very cold that night either but her black sweater stuck close to her skin, strangling her.

Addison looked down, peering at the white streetlights symmetrical with roads and highways. Slowly she put one naked leg over the railing then then the other. A windy breeze cut through her making her body shiver with ecstasy. It was so close, she was almost there. Her breathing was slow and with each inhale it felt like God's breath exhaling onto her. Then with a slight tilt, she fell.

---------------------------------------------------

She couldn't believe how fast she was falling, breathless as her EVA tore through the sky. The soul beckoned her to take the shot. She heard someone over the comms recommend to do the same thing albeit with alot more screaming and emotion. Her hands began to shake and Addison tried to breath. Finally a warmness took back control.

Instead of one intense concentrated shot she let the gun strafe over where the locusts was most concentrated. Addison knew that if the shot was concentrated then it would only tear a hole into the Earth's core. She had to give the others a chance to fight. The shot ripped through the ground, starting at Rev's feet and ending at mere blocks in front of the Headquarters where she could see the bugs descend upon. It looked like a gigantic cut that the Earth sustained. An artificial fissure.

Now only if she could stick the landing...

 

[Grim327]

Grim saw what Addison and Pollux were doing. Their plan was extremely dangerous, but if it worked it could save the city. So Grim thought of the only thing he could do. Keep the angel's attention away from Addi. He took careful aim and shot five more rounds at the monster. After that, he dropped his rifle and ran towards the monster while bringing his chainsword to bear. He stopped running at what he believed to be the edge of the blast radius. If that thing was still alive after the shot from the cannon, then he would try and finish it up.

 

[Raynoson]

(I hate eaten posts)
"Fire all turrets that won't hit our Pilots!"
Damien gave the command with a sweep of his arms.
"Get the outer seals shut and get the personnel moving back if they can!"
People scrambled and hands flew at their stations.

Every screen and every Unit was a flare of fireworks in the monitors.
One was berserk and was barely in control, the others were firing upon the thing in its monstrous swarm.
When lift-off occurred Damien could only watch, and then shout.
"Where the hell is Owen?!"
<spoiler=OOC>Guess I'll keep out of the loop in insane schemes for the moment

 

[hiei82]

Owen raced through the base, his legs shaking, desperate to surrender to the acid building in his legs. Owen wanted to stop and rest, his mind attempting to justify it - You will run faster after, just take a breather... five minutes won't make a difference... what could happen. Only his instinct, the fight or flight mechanism in the base of his mind, kept him going - to rest is to stop, to stop is to die... keep moving...

The only thought truly clear in his mind was his desire to kick that lovecraftian horror so hard, Cthulhu himself would feel it.

He ran past guards and scientists, all busy trying to buy time for the pilots, help the injured, or find some way to stop the Angel above them that was growing closer and closer.

After what seemed like hours, he reached his goal: the Evangelion weapons systems terminal in the armory. A few less than Nerv-approved access codes later, the system was unlocked.

Scrolling through the bare-bones database, he found his goal: Grim's spare Long Maz Mk ll: serial Number 18247. He typed furiously against the keyboard, accessing all the information he could, and modifying the outputs to suit his needs.

He took a deep breath and grabbed the comm-link from his pocket, one of the few devices from his lab that had not been lost en-route.

"Grim, I'm sending you your backup Mazer rifle. I modified microwave cresting to better align with the A.T. Field. It should increase energy transfer via resonance..."

He stopped himself; his discourse was not necessary.

"It should cut through that Angels Field like butter. If Addison's plan works, your going to have less than a second before that angel hides it's core somewhere else."

Owen pressed the launch button on the screen, sending the weapon to Grim the fastest way possible - via Evangelion elevator. "If you don't catch this gun, I'm not sending another" he screamed into the mike, the adrenaline heavy in his blood

"Oh, and don't try to fire that gun more than once, I'm about about 60% sure its gonna overheat after one shot. might even explode.

Owen looked once more at the screen.

"Make that 90% sure, and if it doesn't explode I'll eat my shirt!" He yelled, dropping the communicator and making for the Elevator to Command Ops; "no way I'm gonna miss this show!"

 

[TheNaut131]

Pollux felt the blast and braced himself, the ground shaking beneath his feet. The earth below him was ripped up, the beam tearing through the Earth, as if it was a judgement from God himself.

"That or a woman."

He chuckled to himself, but then quickly realized that the angel may not be done for. They'd scrambled the sprites pretty well but it wouldn't be long before they got up again. Pollux could feel the A.T. field of the angel stressing itself, attempting to gain control of the sprites. It was using it's A.T. field to control the sprites, but they were still relatively mortal beings. Just another pile of bugs they had to squish. Crystal inorganic bugs, covered in radio dishes but still bugs. Rev was still out of it. Most of the sprites didn't have A.T. fields protecting themselves, but though Rev's Eva attempting to crush them to bits, they all stayed relatively intact. Speaking of intact, Addi's move had managed to keep Rev out of trouble and was mostly benefiting us now. Though he was berserking, Rev and his eva were still playing for the team, keeping sprites from attacking. A few would attempt to get back up, but Rev's raging Eva would smack them back down. Those were some strong crystals.

"Wait, crystals, bugs, radio dishes? Thats it! Guys, I think I know how to keep these buggers down for a bit."

Unit-31 broke off in a dash and ejecting two long metal beams from it's arms. The sonic guillotine. It wasn't really much of a melee weapon, it was mainly designed to be placed on opposite sides of an enemy and it's resonance emitters would do the rest. And thats exactly what he intended to do. He dashed to one end of the pile of sprites, stabbing the pole into the ground, and then another end, planting the second pole. If this worked, the frequency would be enough to disable the sprites for good, if not destroy them. The resonance would vibrate the body of the sprites, confusing their senses and if the pressure didn't crush them, the sonic guillotine would at least keep them from flying in an organized pattern. There was just one issue.

"Rev, get out of there! You still have some form of control over your Eva, right?!"

 

[CJ1145]

The setting sun blazed on the horizon. The distant seas seemed to lick at its feet, beckoning it closer down, into their cooling depths. As far away from that wondrous event as they could be, were a pair kids. Behind them the sky was azure, a coolness set against the burning red of the sun's domain. The cliffside they sat on was covered in soft, emerald grass, tinted blue by the onset of night. The one on the right was a boy, timid and frail looking. His large eyes watched in the direction of the sun with a curiosity, and perhaps a bit of longing. The one to his left was a girl, ten years old. His senior by only a few months. They sat in silence, the boy watching the horizon as the girl watched him, curious and worried.

"You don't talk anymore, Mikky." she said, reaching out to touch his hand. He did not retract his hand, but it was not for any desire. He made no physical reaction to contact. He was numb.

"Why should I?" the boy asked her, not taking his eyes of the horizon, or even blinking. He was lost in thought. "What's the point of a sunset?"

The girl looked at him, confused. "Because it's beautiful?"

"And what's the point of beauty?" he asked her. She didn't seem to understand. No one his age did. "Beauty is a non-functioning attribute." He explained to her. "It serves no vital purpose, no essential mechanism in the universe. It's useless."

The girl frowned a bit. She gripped his hand a bit tighter, still no response. "So... you don't think anything is beautiful?"

"I do. I just don't see the point of it. If this world is so fragile, built by nothing but a random code... what's the point of it all?"

She stared at him in an emotional state he could not place, something between despair and bewilderment. All she could do was call for his attention.

"Mikky? Mikky? Mikhael!"

"Rev!"

"Huh?"

"Rev, get out of there! You still have some form of control over your Eva, right?!"

In a flash, Rev realized where he was. The LCL sloshed about wildly as his Eva let loose in a flurry of flying limbs and daggers, tearing away at the insects. They hit the dirt by the dozen as his black beast swatted them out of the air, roaring in defiance as they attempted to restrain it. The young pilot looked around, attempting to discover what he needed to avoid. It was then that he took notice of the sonic guillotine being set up around him. In an instant, a tidal wave of force pushed back against the weight on his shoulders, throwing it off. His only command was a simple phrase, one that even a mindless beast could understand with the force of his will behind it.

MOVE!

His Eva halted for only a brief second, its eyes dulling from their fiery crimson. Rev had control. With a quick push, the brute's legs tossed it clear of the Angel, sending him sailing toward freedom. But at the last moment, a cluster of bugs sliced after the titan, catching it by the cord. They began to yank, but Rev wasted no time in worrying. With a thought, the umbilical cord was ejected, letting the Eva continue on its flight uninhibited as the crystalline bugs were left only with a useless cord as a token.

Only five minutes, Rev thought to himself. Had to win in five minutes. All he could do for now was watch, and hope the others were able to finish the beast off. He had held his own against the bugs, but he had no way to finish it off until the others opened the path.

 

[TheNaut131]

Rev had heard him! Yes! Finally, in control. He jumped away, but the sprites jumped after him!

"I gotta do this now!"

In an instant, the resonance emitters began vibrating, reaching a crescendo before finally letting out a wave of destructive resonance, somewhere a long the lines of a sonic boom. Rev was blown back, a swarm of sprites on him. The remaining bugs were either mostly crushed by the pressure produced. As the sonic guillotine continued emitting, it eventually began to affect the sprites attacking Rev. They stopped attacking him and and simply started drifting around, occasionally bouncing off each other. Rev seemed relatively intact, but his umbilical cord had ejected. He only had 5 minutes left.

"Rev, you did good man. Sure, you kinda lost it there, but you did good. Plus, you finally gave me an excuse to use these things."

Addi finally hit the ground with a crash(Unit031 had really throne her up there)and the ground trembled...but didn't stop.

"Wait, what? What the heck is happening now? Is it the sonic guillotine? The ground is already pretty unstable after the blast, damage from the sonic guillotine could-No, no, it can't be that. Sure it would cause some form of activity, but nothing this stro-"

Pollux felt the surge for a second and was cut off as a blast of A.T. energy broke through the surface beneath his feet. There were strange crystal shapes flying out of the ground, within the blast. He was sent flying and landed in heap a few yards away, in utter pain.

"Gr-Gr-Grim...did you get your spare gun yet? C-Cause I think we're gonna need it."

Pollux could sense the angel's A.T. field strengthening.

"Maybe this guy wasn't as defenseless as I thought."

 

[Mr.Ivebeenframed]

Addison felt the G-force pull at the Eva's limbs. She was plummeting to the ground at breakneck speed with the gathering momentum behind her. Luckily her lift-off didn't result in her leaving the atmosphere but she got as close as she wanted too. The coldness was no longer there and what remained was Addison trying to get back into the fight. Addison leaned forward, giving her fall trajectory towards the outskirts of the city where her damage wouldn't be very substantial, at least to the city.

Controlling where she would fall got harder the faster the Eva picked up. Her controls shaking non-stop. The EVA curled, using the most common advice to taking a fall: tucking and rolling.

Addison's Eva tumbled through what seemed to be the richer district of the city. Luxury homes and exotic cars were destroyed as Unit-09 rolled right through it all. The A.T. fields had absorbed the brunt of the damage but Addison had trouble lifting Unit-09 up from the rubble. Eventually she was able to pick him up but the railgun was reduced to shambles. Annoyed, Addison re-routed all power back to the EVA and manually ripped off the gun. She let the gun fall onto the streets below where a car alarm blared. All that remained was her knife and her pistol and she didn't complain. Addison followed a route back to the action eager to see if they had made progress.

 

[Asclepion]

Kemuel's creations were fractured and dying, but some had filled the tunnel and were attacking HQ. The glassy cage that held the Angel's Core was exposed, and turning to fight.

 

[CJ1145]

As Pollux and his beast clutched their wounds on the ground, a shadow darted above them. The midnight behemoth crashed from rooftop to rooftop, foundations crumbled as the Eva rampaged through the city back toward the angels. It leaped from the rooftop, a dagger in each hand, and crashed into the crystal. This time, the field gave way, and the crystals shattered underneath the pressure of Rev and his monster's blows. More crystals shot from the ground beneath the Eva's right foot; it simply hopped back several dozen meters and kicked it, the crystal shattering from the immense force.

Even more formations attempted to rise from the ground, but the Eva was faster, nimble even, without the umbilical cord restricting its movements. Rev felt a rush of joy almost akin to his first jump as he danced between the gleaming rocks, smashing them underneath his immense blows. Below the crystals he could see the red throbbing. The core was there, taunting them with its proximity. But with every blow, another fragile crystal appeared just in time to deflect his blows.

"Get the core!" Rev shouted to his teammates. Another pillar shot up, but a haymaker from the midnight beast fractured it into thousands of glimmering fragments, more than a few embedded in its hand, drawing blood.

"I can keep the crystals under control, take out the core!"

 

[TheNaut131]

Pollux lay there, thinking back, thinking of the fight. He could feel the angel moving away, it was practically already at the command center. They'd had their chance, and though they'd managed to get rid of the sprites, the angel was still pretty powerful. Guess it gave up on trying to devour them and wasting it's energy controlling the sprites. People were gonna die if they didn't stop this thing, hell they probably already were. Maybe if he'd ignored Rev and gone for the angle with his core knife...doesn't matter now. They'd failed it was over. Alexander had failed. He closed his eyes

"Oh would you give it a rest, Pollux?"

Alexander opened his eyes, he was underwater. Not in his entry plug, under the sea, looking up. Above him was a dead person, his brother, Samuel.

"Sa-Samuel? Castor? Is that really you? Holy crap, I've missed you so much! How are you here? Are you a ghost? what does-"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, your twin brother shows up from beyond the watery grave and the first thing you do is question his existence...man, is it good to talk to you again, you curious bastard!"

The two floated there, laughing. Pollux could feel himself slowly floating upwards and saw that Castor was falling towards him. Eventual the laughter stopped and Alexander held his head down.

"Listen Castor, I blew it. I, the last of the Gemini's, wasted my one chance to stop that monster. To finally really save others. I caused your death, couldn't stop our grandparents death, and overall just-I just-"

"Shut up. Listen, and listen quickly because you're in a hurry. You can never save us. You don't need to keep our name alive, you don't need to do anything beside get up and keep fighting. You're the last star on Earth and I won't let you burn yourself out without putting up an actual fight. Grandma wanted me to tell you that. Grandpa didn't brake down when his son died in the flooding, or even when I died. He got back up, and continued to raise you. I didn't give my life to listen to you *****. Now, take my hand."

Samuel had always been more straight to the point than he had been. He was more statistical than Alexander, he didn't question it, he just did it if it seemed like the logical option. So why had he'd saved Alexander's life? When Samuel reached out with his left hand. His hand became the left hand of Unit-31. It was half of the Gemini constellation, Castor's half. When Alexander reached up it became Unit-31's right hand, Pollux's half.

"Later man, don't drown on me now."

When Pollux breached the surface, he was in his entry plug, greeted to Rev's voice.

"Get the core!"

The core! They had to move quickly, and enemies were popping up everywhere. The pillars were fracturing around Rev, and Addi was returning to the battlefield with Piggy. Crystals were rising around him, fracturing.

"I can keep the crystals under control, take out the core!"

Pollux got Unit-31 back onto it's feet.

"Rev, I know you've only got a few minutes left. We're take out the core before then, before these fuckers even try to finish you off. I won't let you drown on us, and I won't drown on you."

Rev was a bit confuse but simply told them to get out of here.

"Piggy, Addi, we've got to finish this thing off now! No questions, lets go!"

They all broke into a sprint.

 

[Mr.Ivebeenframed]

Addison didn't need to be told twice about the urgency of the matter. She careened through buildings, jumped over roads, and broke into a full sprint to the fissure that she made. She jumped right in with pistol and knife in hand. She fired off a few shots at the regenerating crystals and went to work on the core.

With no hesitation she plunged her knife down into the A.T. field and firing the rest of her ammunition into the wound where she saw the knife enter. She ignored the crystals as Rev used all his might to take them out. She stabbed and shot repeatedly in an effort to silence this thing. The red core pulsated and painted her Eva with a red hue.

"Come on!" Addison yelled. She could feel the A.T. fields connect and battle one another. It was almost there, they were so close.

 

[TheNaut131]

Pollux pulled out his core knife and landed beside Addi. He opened fire with his bolt gun, rapidly firing point blank into the crystal angel. Pollux began using his core knife to stab at where he was concentrating most of his shots.

"I'm gonna break through that shield! I'm gonna cut right through you! And I'm gonna save all these innocent people! Theres not a damn thing you can do about it!"

Unit-31 pulled back and began charging A.T. energy into the knife. Pollux could feel it swelling into one force, like how he'd launched Addi but with a lot more force. Pollux stabbed down with all the force, a mass of A.T. energy being transferred through the knife. His knife simple bounced of the A.T field of the angle...

But not without fracturing it in the progress.

"You're done for!"
