"All men enter the first combat configuration, ready to meet the ground to the air."

"What about the goal?"

"Now moving forward.

The old Odawara defensive line was broken through, and the 4th area was hit with direct hits and the damage was unknown. ”

As if it had been agreed a long time ago, the day after the pilot of EVA No. 6, No. 8, and No. 6 Kaoru Nagisa arrived at the NERV headquarters, the Tenth Apostle couldn't wait to appear.

In the operational headquarters of the NERV underground base, Misato Katsuragi is directing the fortifications to carry out a tentative attack on the Tenth Apostle under the "foresight" of Commander Ikari Gendo and Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki, not seeking to destroy or stop the enemy, but only to collect the enemy's intelligence to the greatest extent.

Because Shinji Ikari refuses to fly the first plane, the only ones who can play now are Rei Ayaami's zero and Asuka's second plane. Kaoru Nagisa and Makibo are also staying in Gnacuri, but the sixth and eighth machines have not yet been tested for start-up, so Misato Katsuragi doesn't plan to let the two of them rush into battle.

The original battlefield commander Chu Xuan did not take advantage of his "green angular triple speed" now, but he did not stay in the research room to continue his mysterious research, but ......

"Chu, Senior Colonel Chu Xuan!"

In a civilian shelter in the city of New Tokyo No. 3, Shinji Ikari, who was sitting on the wall with his hands and knees crossed, looked up at the familiar figure who was walking straight towards him from the crowd, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Why are you ......?"

"Why are you here? Come with me! ”

Shinji Ikari, who was very surprised by Chu Xuan's arrival, just wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by Chu Xuan's calm but serious questioning, and then he was directly dragged out of the shelter by Chu Xuan's wrist.

"I—I'm never going to get on the first plane again!"

Although he was completely powerless to resist Chu Xuan's violence, Shinji Ikari still firmly reaffirmed his unshakable belief, and Chu Xuan didn't say anything "I can't help you then", he stuffed Shinji Iki into the six-wheeled Hummer SUV and immediately drove towards the NERV underground base, and said in a steady and uninhibited voice as always:

"Even if you don't drive, it's safer to stay in Gnacuri.

And...... Only 'power' can allow you to take control of your own destiny. ”

Chu Xuan didn't explain why he was able to find the exact location of Shinji Ikari, and Shinji Ikari didn't ask, and the two of them sat in silence in the car after a short conversation. Quietly rushed to Gnaku, located in the underground base of Nerv.

"Bang ——!"

On the ground, the Tenth Apostle, who had flown over the city of Third New Tokyo in the face of a hail of bullets, flashed his eyes and used a cross-shaped flash to destroy the automatic defense system that was still firing rockets at it.

This seemingly ordinary attack actually pierced directly through the ground, and some of the buildings on the ground were smashed on the NERV base in the underground city because the locking devices were destroyed or broken.

"The surface full armor system melts! The 24 layers of special armor were all ...... with a single blow."

In the combat headquarters, Hinata Makoto nervously and loudly reported the damage, but Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki, who was standing behind Commander Ikari Gendo's side, still maintained an elegant smile and did not panic at all.

He squinted slightly at the Tenth Apostle on the huge screen, and said with great interest:

"The strongest rejection apostle, it's really destructive beyond imagination."

“……”

Commander Gendo Ikari still sat with his elbows propped up on the table and his fingers crossed over his mouth with his glasses reflective. Didn't go to pick up Deputy Commander Winter Moon - maybe he thought Deputy Commander Winter Moon was just talking to himself.

However, I saw that the Tenth Apostle had descended through the hole towards the NERV headquarters. Misato Katsuragi, however, could not be as laid-back as the two top leaders. In response to the unexpected change of situation, she immediately issued an order for an urgent attack.

"Machine No. 2 and Machine Zero will be dispatched immediately to directly meet the Apostle in the underground city!"

"Asuka, the tenth apostle this time is very strong. Probably the strongest apostle we've ever encountered.

Your attacks are mainly tentative, and Machine Zero is responsible for supporting you.

Don't be reckless, Chu Xuan has already gone to pick up Shinji, if the situation is urgent, let him sit on the first machine anyway, and if it really doesn't work, the sixth and eighth machines will also start......"

"Just defeat the apostles and you'll be fine!"

Asuka seemed impatient with Misato Katsuragi's trembling, and the second machine she was piloting, holding an EVA miniature submachine gun in each hand, rushed directly towards the Tenth Apostle, who had already protruded his head from the hole in the ground.

"Asuka! Asuka! ”

"The other party has blocked the communication and can no longer contact from this side."

Misato Katsuragi was anxious and angry and continued to call Asuka who acted without permission. But Asuka, who has been unusually silent lately, doesn't want to obey any orders anymore, and now she just wants to vent all her negative emotions that she can't say to anyone on the apostle who came at the right time.

- Seeing the apostle, Asuka reappeared in front of her eyes the black cat on the notebook that she had poked with a mechanical pencil and black spots all over her body, and the black cat was covered with black spots like droplets of blood, looking at her with rather unpleasant eyes. But he didn't say anything with his mouth open, and although it wasn't terrifying, it made Asuka more and more irritated the more he looked at it.

"Die! What a bullshit apostle, even if it's just me, I can take it down! ”

Asuka simply relied on a shout of rage to dispel the phantom in front of her, and then she raised two miniature submachine guns and pulled the trigger fiercely after hitting the mask-like white ugly face of the Tenth Apostle in the aiming frame.

"Woo Woo ......"

The dense bullets shot at the Tenth Apostle like two points, but they were all blocked by the AT force field in front of it.

But the second machine didn't care, it immediately threw away two micro-dashes after shooting all the bullets, took out the grenade launcher from the weapon magazine scattered beside it, fired five or six grenades at the layered AT force field of the Tenth Apostle, and then raised the automatic rifle and continued to pour ammunition at the opponent.

At this time, on the battlefield, only the second machine was playing a one-man show, and the zero machine was quietly squatting on the edge of the stage, not running out to steal the show, and the tenth apostle also played the role of a target, allowing the second machine to show its gorgeous shooting skills, but the attack of the second machine only blossomed and did not bear fruit, and the tenth apostle still fell to the ground of the underground city.

"So how about a taste of this!"

Seeing that the Apostle had finally landed at a height where she could engage in hand-to-hand combat, Asuka gave up her automatic rifle and rushed forward with a "spear sword" with a sharp blade at the front.

The second machine stabbed the blade fiercely into the AT force field in front of the Tenth Apostle, and then pulled the trigger at zero distance, shooting five or six extremely penetrating alloy nails from the muzzle, but still failed to shoot through the opponent's AT force field.

Then, the Tenth Apostle's counterattack finally arrived, and its two streamer-like arms quickly popped out, cutting off the arms of the second machine directly from its shoulders, and the armor and AT force field of the second machine were like paper paste in front of its attack.

"Uhh——!hh

Asuka, who seemed to have her arms severed, howled in pain, but the severe injury made the anger in her heart burn even more.

"How dare you...... How dare you ...... me

I'm going to kill you! ”

"Woohoo——!"

The wounds on its shoulders were bleeding profusely, and the second machine looked up to the sky like a wounded beast and let out a long roar, and then all four of its green eyes lit up, and it opened its mouth and bit directly at the Tenth Apostle.

But what appeared in front of the fierce Asuka were two streamer arms that quickly grew larger, and then with a "bang", her neck was cold, and her eyes immediately became pitch black.

At this time, the head of the second machine had already flown far away, and red blood was spurting high from the broken neck of the second machine like a fountain, but the second machine, which had stopped working, was still stubbornly maintaining a forward charging posture, and refused to fall in front of the apostle no matter what.

No matter how hard Asuka tried, how brave, and how strong she was, no matter how many reasons she had that she absolutely couldn't lose, she couldn't make up for the absolute gap in strength, EVA No. 2 ...... It can be said that he was easily defeated by the Tenth Apostle.
