Is this okay?

"Is there a way?" Shinji looked at Leng Mo with a brightening expression.

Leng Mo said mysteriously, "Aren't you going to pilot Unit-01?"

"That's what I meant."

"I'll teach you how to operate it. Go up and use a combo to take down the Angel, then pilot Unit-01 and escape. I've prepared the map for you. Let's meet at this location." As he spoke, a ruthless smile appeared on Leng Mo's face.

"I understand!" Shinji's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, and a hopeful smile appeared on his face.

What a great move!

However, Shinji immediately frowned, worried, "If we take Unit-01 away, what will happen to Rei Ayanami?"

Leng Mo smiled crookedly, "Even simpler. The Apostles don't just come once. Next time they come, Unit Zero will definitely show up. We can kidnap them on the spot and take them all, people and robots. That way, the world where only your dad is injured will be complete."

"Sukuni Ichi! It's settled then!" Shinji's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait any longer.

This perfectly illustrates what it means to be a child who brings shame to their father, or to collude with outsiders to harm one's own family.

But it doesn't matter!

Everyone who saw this said it was good, and of course, that's not all!

After the two major EVAs are poached, he will then jump out and recruit everyone except Gendo Ikari to his side. Then he can watch Gendo Ikari posing alone in the empty NERV, which would be incredibly fun.

Jie Jie Jie Jie!

Thinking of this, Leng Mo revealed an evil smile, perfectly embodying what it means to be a villain.

Shinji's face also showed anticipation, and he even showed a friendly smile.

In an instant, the two perfectly achieved their secret, embodying the meaning of "we're united, cheese sandwiched between two buns!"

"I'll drive!"

Shinji stared at the screen beside him with a righteous and indignant expression, radiating justice.

Upon seeing Shinji's reply, Gendo Ikari exuded confidence. "Then sit down!"

He didn't hesitate at all, as if he had known the outcome from the beginning, his expression full of the idea that everything was going according to plan.

Seeing this, Misato Katsuragi made up her mind and looked at Shinji, saying, "Shinji, I'm sorry, and thank you."

Shinji smiled brightly upon hearing this, "It's alright, I know Katsuragi-san had no choice. Don't worry, I will definitely defeat the Angel!"

"Hmm." Misato Katsuragi was touched when she heard Shinji say that, feeling that Shinji was really a good kid.

Then Shinji began preparing to pilot Unit-01, while Leng Mo and the others laughed and said to Misato Katsuragi and the others, "We'll be leaving now, you guys go ahead with your work."

"?" Misato Katsuragi didn't understand why Leng Mo and the others wanted to leave at this time, but she didn't say anything and had someone take them away.

After all, this is a military stronghold, and many areas are classified, so outsiders cannot be allowed to stay here for too long.

After Leng Mo left the base under the guidance of the insiders, they immediately felt like they were fleeing overnight, carrying their bicycles.

Everything is going according to plan. Now we need to go to the rendezvous point and build the base. After all, such a large Unit-01 definitely needs a hangar, at least two, no! Four!

Unit-01, Unit-00, then Unit-02, and then Unit-03!

If all else fails, just move these machines to Macho Island. When you need them, you can just teleport across worlds. That would be so cool!

But after Leng Mo and the others left, Shinji had already boarded Unit-01.

He prepared for battle under everyone's gaze. Although he didn't quite understand how to operate Unit-01, he knew that these things relied on momentum! As long as he had enough momentum, he could succeed!

In an instant, the synchronization rate of Unit-01 increased at an incredible speed, leaving everyone who witnessed it speechless.

"How is this possible! The synchronization rate is over 90%!?" Ritsuko Akagi stared at the data on the screen in disbelief, her mind reeling.

Sitting in his office, Gendo Ikari couldn't help but smile, his eyes sparkling with an "I knew it" look.

However, how could I not be moved when I see your beloved son?

I will definitely complete the Human Instrumentality Project!

At that moment, Shinji didn't feel anything strange, but for some reason, he felt a warmth in his heart, as if he were in his mother's arms.

However, that's not important right now!

The important thing is to defeat the apostles and then run away!

Shinji's face lit up with a happy smile at the thought, like a wild horse laughing like a child.

If all else fails, I still have my invincible magical girl mode.

"Yoshi! Ichika!"

Shinji's face broke into a bright smile, his eyes filled with excitement.

At that moment, Misato Katsuragi's voice came through the communicator, "Shinji, I'll teleport you up right away."

"Okay!" Shinji nodded and smiled.

"The event lasts only five minutes. You must defeat the apostle within five minutes."

"Huh? Five minutes?!" Shinji paused, his face full of astonishment.

"You can move around freely while charging, but once you're disconnected from the charger, you can only last for five minutes, otherwise the machine will stop," Misato Katsuragi explained. This is both a technical and an energy issue.

Shinji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Then as long as we don't break away, it's fine."

The next second, Unit-01 was pushed onto the teleportation track, which was vertically upward, with NEVR below.

boom--!

With the immense thrust generated by the orbital burst, Unit-01 hurtled straight toward the ground.

The immense inertia made Shinji feel a little uncomfortable, but he quickly overcame it.

In the blink of an eye, a passage opened up on the ground, and Unit-01 was launched directly onto the ground, standing in front of the Third Angel the moment it appeared.

Bang!

As the restraints on his body were removed, Shinji felt much lighter. The control system of Unit-01 was a neural link.

In other words, it can be used as if it were one's own body.

"Yosh! Let's go—!"

Shinji controlled Unit-01 and instantly ran towards the Third Angel.

Boom boom boom!

The running motion was very fast, giving off the feeling of a running champion.

Those inside the base were utterly shocked by what they saw.

"Amazing! You controlled Unit-01 so easily! Shinji, you're truly exceptional!" Misato Katsuragi stared at the big screen in awe, filled with emotion.

Then Unit-01 slipped on its feet and did a big split in front of the Angel.

"???"

Shinji gasped as his foot slipped suddenly!

hiss--!

"Shinji?! Are you alright?!" Misato Katsuragi shouted anxiously.

"Why didn't you tell me that Unit-01's soles were also metal? Do you know what it feels like to step on a steel plate with iron shoes? And this is while running..." Shinji asked a question from the depths of his soul, as if he could already experience that feeling.

"I'm sorry...we didn't expect this either..." Misato Katsuragi also looked surprised; no one had realized this detail.

After all, Unit-01 was never activated...

Fortunately, Unit-01 was incredibly resilient and didn't break down, otherwise Shinji and his entire crew would have been wiped out on their own doorstep.

However, the Angel won't give Shinji any time. Although he doesn't understand why Shinji suddenly did the splits, it won't hold back.

A red cross-shaped light flashed on its large, tilted head.

hum!

Boom!

A massive, blood-red explosion erupted from the location of Unit-01, defying all logic by forming an inverted cross shape, and possessing immense power.

The entire city shook, and for a moment it was impossible to stand still.

Shinji, however, felt a burning sensation amidst the explosion. He hardened his eyes and gritted his teeth to endure it.

"I'm going to kill you!"

The next second, Shinji sensed something, and an invisible wall instantly enveloped the front of Unit-01's body.

"That is--!"

"AT Field!!"

"Not only that, Unit-01's AT field is neutralizing the Third Angel's AT field!"

"You can do it! Shinji! Go for it!"

At that moment, Shinji unleashed a fierce punch at the Angel's body.

boom!

The heavy fist landed on the apostle with a deafening sound, but the fist stopped in front of the apostle, fixed in front of the AT field.

"Damn it! My punches are so weak!" Shinji shouted in frustration, feeling wronged. If it were in magical girl mode, he could have destroyed a mountain with one punch, but... Unit-01's punch was like scraping a cupping dagger.

Upon hearing this, Misato Katsuragi immediately shouted to the operators, "Send weapons to Shinji!!"

Instantly, the building next to Shinji unfolded, revealing a huge gun, a weapon customized to fit the size of Unit-01.

Shinji! Use your weapons!

"it is good--!"

Upon hearing this, Shinji grabbed his gun and smashed it with all his might at the Angel, shattering it on the AT field.

"..."

"..."

A moment of silence fell over the scene. Misato Katsuragi, dumbfounded by the brutality, asked in shock, "Why did you use it like that!"

"You expect someone like me, who's never even touched a gun before, to use it?" Shinji asked subtly.

"Ah this..."

What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless.

Then everyone saw the Angel lift Unit-01's leg and swing it violently, slamming it to the left and then to the right, before spinning it twice and slamming it hard onto the ground.

Boom——!

The Evangelion Unit-01 was smashed to the ground and couldn't be pried off; it was in a terrible state.

"Shinji! Shinji! Are you alright?" Misato Katsuragi asked anxiously, though she desperately wanted to help but was at a loss for what to do.

At this rate, there's no way to defeat the apostles.

Is there really no way for humanity to fight back?!

"So weak! Ughhhhhh!"

Shinji let out a helpless and frustrated roar. He never expected that Unit-01's mobility and power would be so weak. Piloting Unit-01 up there would be like sending himself to his doom.

But at that moment, the apostle's eyes flashed with a scarlet cross of light once again!

Buzz—Boom!

The massive inverted cross-shaped explosion landed precisely on Unit-01. Although Unit-01's outer shell was strong enough to withstand the blast, the cables were severed at that moment.

The energy system began its five-minute countdown.

"Oh no! The power supply has been cut off! Shinji, you only have five minutes left!!" Misato Katsuragi looked at the screen in despair, filled with resentment.

Shinji was startled when he heard this!

Five minutes—!

"Now that things have come to this... now we have no choice but to reveal our final trump card!"

The next second, Unit-01 stood up, and the technicians let out an incredulous scream.

"Damage! Cockpit ejection!!"
