"Apply to Commander Ikari for A-17 to carry out the order, 100,000 urgent!" Misato Katsuragi said to the other end of the phone as she stood in the corridor of the Asakayama Earthquake Research Institute

The other side

Aoba took the phone and said dissatisfiedly, "Be careful, now this is an ordinary line"

"I know! Switch to a confidential line," Misato said impatiently

……………………

NERV Headquarters

A large office dedicated to Ikari Gendo

At this time, the room was pitch black, and Ikari Gendo and Fuyutsuki were sitting in the center of the room, and the other was standing behind them

Ten glowing stone slabs appear out of thin air, forming a meeting-like pattern around the two

"Switch the secret line," Slate No. 3 sneered, mockingly, "Is it up to us to issue the order?" ”

"Yes," Ikari Gendo replied lightly as he sat in his place, crossed his hands in front of him

"No! It's too dangerous, don't say you forgot fifteen years ago," a voice came from inside Slate Five

"It's a good opportunity, we've been on the defensive, and we've finally been able to attack for the first time," Ikari explained in a calm tone with the same expression

"It's too risky," the majestic voice of Slate No. 1 sounded, and the other slabs that were about to speak fell silent

"But the importance of the living apostle sample, I think you have long been aware of it," Ikari Gendo said seductively

No. 1 Slate didn't think about it, and said directly: "Don't fail!" ”

Immediately, the ten glowing stone slabs quickly dimmed, and Ikari Gendo maintained its signature movement in place

"If you fail, then humanity will disappear! You can hear me clearly," Fuyutsuki reminded Ikari Gendo with her hands behind her back, as if she were a little warning

Ikari Gentang's hands were crossed, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a sneer

……………………

"This is the Apostle?" In Nerv's battle command room, Shinji looked at the fetus-like apostle on the screen in front of him in his combat uniform and said in surprise

"Yes, but it's not yet a complete body and is still in a chrysalis-like state" Ritsuko didn't wear her myopic glasses, and said solemnly in the command room at this time, "In this operation, the most important thing is to capture the apostle, maintain its form as much as possible, and take it back in a living state"

"What if you can't do it?" Asuka asked

"Destroy it immediately!"

"Yes!" Asuka and Shinji said together

"It's the one in charge of the battle," Ritsuko said, looking at the three drivers standing in a row

"I'm going! I want to dive in" Asuka raised her hand with interest to vote on her will

Rei Ayanami stood aside with a blank face

Shinji stood in the middle and thought to himself, 'It must be me next...'

"Asuka" Ritsuko glanced at Shinji lightly, and said loudly, "Perform the mission with the second machine"

Shinji Ikari chuckled in his heart and looked up in surprise

"Good! It's simple, simple," Asuka said with a happy smile

"What about me?" Rei Ayanami asked softly

"The experimental machine zero and the special equipment are not up to specification," Maya Ibuki explained next to Ritsuko

Since the head of the War Department, Misato Katsuragi, and the deputy head of the Ministry of Operations, Ikari Hong, were not at the NERV headquarters at this time, Ritsuko was in charge of issuing orders at this time

I saw that Ritsuko was very leader-like and continued, "Rei and Zero are on standby at the headquarters."

"Yes"

Asuka wanted to show off to Rei Ayanami that only she was qualified to carry out this mission, but remembered that during the summer festival a few days ago, the cute little black goldfish that Rei Ayanami gave her was still in the fish tank of Misato's house at this time, so she blinked her eyes and didn't say anything

Rei Ayanami's expression remained unchanged, and she stood in place expressionlessly

"Now that the A-17 order has been issued, we will set off immediately after the meeting, and now we should go and prepare!"

"Yes!" The three drivers spoke in unison

……………………

"Ahh I hate it! … What is this? ”

A high-pitched, deafening female voice came from the locker room

Ritsuko looked at Asuka who looked very bloated due to her heat-resistant protective suit, and said, "Unit No. 1 is also ready."

"I hate it! Why is that? Asuka's driver's suit was so round that it was difficult to get out of the locker room, and it was stuck in the locker room door

"Heat-resistant, pressure-resistant, nuclear-resistant protective suits, D-type equipment for local warfare" Ritsuko put her hands in her white coat, put on her glasses again, and stood at the feet of the No. 2 machine, which was also wrapped in D-type bloated equipment

Asuka held up her round ball-like body, staggered to the same round No. 2 machine and raised her head, asked with a bitter face, and a blank expression

"This is my second machine?" Tomorrow's anxious little face was about to cry, turned around and pinched her waist, and glared at Ritsuko

"Uh, I'm willing to go instead of Asuka" Shinji couldn't bear Asuka's embarrassment and stood up and said

Rei Ayanami also stretched out her right hand and said lightly, "That, I'm willing to fly the second plane on this mission."

Asuka shook her head vigorously, helplessly crying and refusing the kindness of the two

"Instead of letting someone else pilot my second plane, let me do it myself, alas, it's ugly TOT"

…………………

Above the clouds, two huge transport planes carried the EVA No. 2 equipped with D-type equipment by the EVA No. 1 and went to the destination of the mission, the crater of Shallow Stream Mountain

"The first and second EVA units have arrived," reported a female employee of the NERV organization at the Asakayama Seismological Research Institute

"The two planes are on standby, and the laser ingestion and the preparation of the crane are carried out quickly" Ikari Hiroshi came to the research institute at some point, standing next to Misato and also commanding the staff as the commander of the operation

"Understood!" Hinata replied staring at her screen

"Shinji! I'll turn off the communication system for me! I don't want you to see what I'm like now" Asuka cried with a cute little face and chirped at Shinji

"The issuance of the A-17 order... That also includes freezing the current existing assets," said a middle-aged woman holding her pet dog in the cable car on the shallow mountain to Bless Ryoji, who was sitting opposite her with her back to her, but her voice did not match her appearance

"It seems that many people are going to have a headache again," said the blessing, turning his back to the 'companion' of the disguised middle-aged woman

"Why don't you stop it?" The UN spy, disguised as a middle-aged woman, kept looking out the window of the cable car

"There is no reason, the order is issued according to the official idiom"

"But the failure of NERV means the end of the world."

Blessing turned his head, still not glancing at the 'woman' opposite, looking at the scenery outside the window, and said with a smile

"They're not that self-conscious"

Besides, the existence of the variable Ikari Hong, everything is uncertain......

…………………

In the temporary command room of the Earthquake Research Institute, Ikari Hong frowned as he looked at a few glowing dots flickering in the sky on the screen

"What's that?" Shinji also saw the bright light flying in the sky, and couldn't help but ask curiously, and the sound was transmitted to the command room through the microphone of the first machine

"It's the UN's Air Force, they're on standby in the air"

"Will stay here until the end of the battle"

Next to the crane, Maya Ibuki and Ritsuko-senpai checked the stability of the device, heard Shinji's question, and replied

"Will they help us?" Asuka asked excitedly

"No, it's about dealing with the aftermath," Ritsuko said gently

"If we fail," Maya added

"Aftercare?" Shinji and Asuka are confused and don't know what Ritsuko's explanation means

"They're going to heat treat the Apostles with N2 bombs, including us," Ritsuko whispered as she adjusted the device

"It's too much!" Asuka is furious

"Who gave this order?" Shinji asked with the same angry face when he learned the reason in the cockpit of the first plane

"It's Commander Ikati"

Shinji was stunned when he heard this, and then lowered his head, angry and unhappy

"You two don't have a psychological burden, even if you fail, you have to put saving your life in the first place, as for the aftermath of any bullshit, you don't have to worry about it"

In the command room, Ikari Hong took the microphone and said calmly

…………………

Twenty minutes later

A huge steel crane was erected directly above the crater of Shallow Stream

Sou! Thump!

A laser shot out of the crane's extra-long shelf and into the depths of the magma in the crater, provoking waves of heat

"Laser job complete!" Ritsuko's voice reached everyone's ears through the speaker

"The route of travel is secured"

"There is nothing unusual about the D-device!"

The personnel in charge of various positions reported one after another

"Understood" Misato looked worriedly at the information screen in the command room, "Asuka, are you ready?" ”

"Anytime," Asuka said confidently in her bloated red driver's suit

"Start!"

……………………

With Misato's order, the huge crane slowly operated, and the second machine, armed with D-type equipment, held a special high-tech power grid ready to capture the Eighth Apostle's fetal angel, and approached the hot magma little by little

"Wow... It looks so hot" Before diving into the lava, Asuka had a palpitating expression

In the command room of "Machine 2 is about to dive into magma", Maya reports on the mission from her post

"Shinji, look!" Asuka shouted back

Shinji, who was staring at the situation of the second machine in the first machine, came back to his senses and snorted in reflection

"Giant Super Stride ^_^"

With Asuka's cute voice, the second machine wearing D-shaped equipment made a cute gesture like a child on a stroller

Crash...

Machine 2 has completely dived into the hot lava

Shinji sighed

Can Asuka not be so cute-_-#

…………………

"Asuka, are you alright?" Shinji drove the first plane on the shore and said with concern

"It feels a little better than I expected"

"The current depth is 170, the diving speed is 20, and there is no abnormality in any part" The electronic tone report sounded

"The field of vision is 0, you can't see anything, switch to the radial screen" Asuka in the magma began to get serious

With Asuka's order, the field of view of machine 2 began to change, but the effect was not very obvious, after switching the field of view, the lines of the volcanic rock became clear, but it was still difficult to make out the image

"That's 120 transparency, huh?" Asuka looked at the still blurry vision, sighed, and complained dissatisfied

……………………

"Depth 450, 500... In the 650" command room, with the sound of Maya's professional report, the second plane was also diving deeper into the magma little by little

“900… 1150、1200！ The safety limit has been exceeded, the depth is 1300, and the target predetermined location has been reached! Maya is still dutifully reporting

In the command room, Misato hugged her shoulders and stared at the screen attentively, "Asuka, did you find anything?" ”

"No response, can't see it"

Misato frowned slightly

Ritsuko said in a deep voice, "The convection is faster than we thought"

"The target's speed has been incorrect," Hinata reported, looking at her computer screen

"Recalculate immediately, the battle continues, please continue to dive," Misato said calmly without blinking

Hinata looked at the woman she had a crush on in surprise

Ikari stood beside Misato and watched the situation on the screen with a blank face

……………………

Machine 2 is still diving deeper into the lava bit by bit

"Depth 1350, 1400"

The sound of things breaking rang out

"The second circulation pipe has cracked, and the limit depth is exceeded!"

Asuka's face tightened, and she insisted with difficulty and did not make a sound

"Still not in contact with the target, continue" Mi Nai looked at each other and asked with concern, "Asuka, how's it going?" ”

"I can hold on, I really want to finish it quickly and go back to take a shower" Asuka smiled strongly in the second machine

"There is a good hot spring nearby, let's go together after the end and add some oil!" Misato felt a little relieved and said encouragingly

Asuka chuckled

Click!

Another broken sound came

"Beyond the Limit Depth, 120 meters below"

The high-energy particle knife on the shoulder of Unit 2 slid down, drowning deep in the magma

"EVA II, lose the high-tech sword!"

Asuka exclaimed

"Asuka, hold on..."Shinji clenched his fists and looked worriedly at the crater below
