Pirate's Bizarre Adventure

Ya! Butterfly!

Shinji's eyes were bloodshot.

"Look, look, what did I say?"

"No one at the headquarters base is reliable!"

"They didn't consider your safety before, and now they still don't consider that the apostles will interfere with your skills."

"It's over. Humanity is finished~"

Shinji: ...

Mr. Jon, stop complaining.

Hurry and do something!

Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes do not come singly.

While Jon was speaking, the Thunder Angel's drill finally penetrated into the underground city.

The base was filled with red light.

Alarms sounded everywhere.

The system announcement almost filled the entire screen.

Akagi Ritsu's face was pale and his eyes were deep.

Looking over at the side, Misato Katsuragi had a solemn expression.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his nervousness, and ordered: "Zero, can you still move? Don't hesitate, shoot the second shot!"

Although the staff in the command room were not very reliable in this operation, they were not stupid enough and at least they had arranged a plan B.

That is, shoot one more round.

On the ground, Rei Ayanami's movements were a little stiff, but she still pulled the bolt with difficulty.

"It's moving. Unit-00 has not lost its ability to move."

"We still have hope!"

"Come on, Zero, come on!"

It's like finding a way out of a desperate situation.

There was cheering in the command room.

And Rei Ayanami was concentrating.

It was as if the world had become quiet.

【Replace the fuse】

【Start charging...】

[Start cooling the gun body]

[Positive Electrons Accelerate Again]

Rei Ayanami is like a machine.

He endured the injuries caused by the first impact and held the weapon steadily.

"Task……"

"Task completed..."

The girl's voice was as soft as a mosquito.

His eyes were more determined than ever before.

"Ayanami-san, you're so strong." Shinji couldn't help but clench his fists, and a different emotion surged in his heart.

After driving the EVA, Ling Bo seemed like a different person.

She became more vivid and more like a real "person".

He stared at it blankly.

But at this moment, the Thunder Angel emitted a strange red light visibly to the naked eye.

Shinji: "Another high-energy reaction? Oh no, that energy ray is coming!"

As a former victim of the Fire Snake, he knew too well the power of the Thunder Angel's rays.

"Be careful! Ling Bo-san!"

As his consciousness made the judgment, Shinji's body moved on its own.

One step, two steps, three steps.

If you turn on the God's perspective, you can clearly see that the running speed of Unit-01 is almost the same as the attack speed of Thunder Angel's rays.

It's too late to say.

An energy ray hit Unit-01 head-on.

Through the two machines, Rei Ayanami seemed to see Shinji's face full of pain.

The icy face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years finally showed a hint of emotion.

"Shinji-kun!"

But she didn't know.

Someone was already complaining in Shinji's ear.

"Okay, okay, that's how you play, huh?"

Jon couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of fate.

In the original destiny, it was Rei Ayanami who ran out to block the attack of the Thunder Angel for Shinji.

After many twists and turns, it was Shinji who blocked the attack for Rei Ayanami.

Anyway, either I block it for you or you block it for me.

No one else.

Otherwise, fate is a circle.

No matter what, what is supposed to happen will happen.

Feelings are feelings.

Shinji's current situation is indeed not good.

Silly boy too excited.

Or rather, this silly boy is too obsessed.

He didn't even raise his shield, just used his body to take the damage.

How can it not hurt?

You have to know that the integrated rays of the Thunder Angel are no joke. Even the restraint armor of Unit-01 was quickly melted and evaporated.

It's like an ice cube meeting a hot iron ball.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace.

Shinji's synchronization rate with Unit-01 is already quite high, which means that a large portion of the damage suffered by Unit-01 will be fed back to him.

The poor child was already frail, and after being shot like that, he screamed in agony.

But even so.

He didn't move a step.

Even Jon had to admit it.

"I recognize your level of Ashasi!"

Shinji screamed in his heart: "Stop saying those inexplicable things, Jon-san, do something, I can't hold on any longer."

"You have to hold on even if you can't. A man can't say he can't do it."

Having said that, John couldn't just watch Shinji die. He quietly used a little of his life force to repair Shinji's body.

Shinji: Oh, I'm fine.

But the next second, the burning of the integrated rays came from the wound again.

Shinji: Help, help!

All I can say is that Jon knows how to control temperature.

It would neither make Shinji feel good nor allow the Thunder Angel to complete the kill successfully.

This kid should be taught a lesson.

To avoid making mistakes next time due to impulse.

The verbal description is quite complicated; in reality, it only takes two or three seconds in the real world.

Seeing the dark purple machine blocking her way, Rei Ayanami was stunned and lowered her gun unconsciously.

But at this moment, Katsuragi Misato's voice in the headset revealed an unprecedented seriousness: "Zero, what are you doing? Don't... don't let Shinji-kun down. Listen to my orders, raise your guns, and prepare for the second round of shooting."

Rei Ayanami took a deep breath and answered loudly.

Now is not the time to consider other things, completing the combat mission is the primary goal.

But for some reason, Rei Ayanami, who has always had no emotional fluctuations, felt genuinely conflicted and confused.

And a feeling that even she herself couldn't explain.

Yes, heartbroken?

Rei Ayanami didn't know.

It must be said that Unit-01 is really strong.

Shinji was willing to give it his all for the woman. He ate a lot and refused to fall down.

The fall here refers to the fall in the spiritual sense.

In fact, he has already pounced...

"That's the good thing about being young. You can fall asleep as soon as you lie down."

Jon chuckled and logged in.

The good news is that after blocking the laser cannon for Rei Ayanami, the positron cannon was recharged again, and the black muzzle gathered blue light.

Unit 0's hand was steady, pointing directly at the core of the Thunder Angel.

"emission!"

At the same time, countless people were screaming and shouting, and Rei Ayanami pulled the trigger.

The next second, a brilliant light that could not be described in words pierced through the Thunder Angel.

boom!

A sniper shot!

Penetrating damage, excellent effect.

But surprisingly, after staggering for a while, the Thunder Angel did not fall down.

"How is this possible!" Misato Katsuragi panicked.

Ritsuko Akagi panicked.

Ikari Gendō couldn't sit still anymore.

The entire base was plunged into an atmosphere of despair.

The hum of the drill resounded overhead, like the laughter of a thunder angel.

It won't be long before it can completely penetrate the protective steel plate, and then...

There is no more.

Because Unit-01 stood up.

Thunder Lord help me!

Boom.

Thunder from the sky struck down on his head.

Bathed in the sky full of lightning, the tattered Unit-01 instead revealed a different kind of evil aura.

The battle is not over yet...

Quite the opposite.

The battle has just begun!

"There are some minor problems, but they're not serious." Jon stretched his body.

He knew that his time was limited, so he had to make quick decisions.

Grab the shield and draw the sword.

The hideous and terrifying Unit-01 looks more like a monster than ever before.

Take strides forward.

Then it's a trot.

Then it was a mad run!

Misato Katsuragi was anxious and said to Jon through the internal communication: "Are you crazy? There is no chance of winning in close combat!"

Thunder Angel, which can change into various forms according to the situation, is an aerial fortress with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

This thing is equivalent to Ditto among the Apostles.

In addition to integrated rays and drills, there are probably many more variations.

But Jon said, does changing form work?

Watch me break it with my strength!

It was visible to the naked eye that the Thunder Angel was about to shoot out lasers again.

Jon raised his eyebrows: "Mu Da Mu Da!"

After saying that, he raised his shield in front of him.

This shield is also the base's black technology. It was originally the equipment of Unit-00, but because the work and battle were different this time, it was given to Unit-01.

Block.

But it didn't completely block it.

The shield was melted through.

Fortunately, Jon also approached the Thunder Angel.

Little knife, little knife, don’t laugh when I stab you.

The plasma dagger made a buzzing sound and pierced into the surface of the Thunder Angel.

Just hear a click.

The body of the Thunder Angel began to shatter into pieces.

But next second.

The octahedron twisted and deformed, and a vaguely strange face seemed to appear. Not only that, two slimy tentacles emerged from the broken parts and wrapped around Unit-01's body.

"Shinji!" Rei Ayanami was really anxious and stepped forward without thinking.

Seeing this, Katsuragi Misato warned, "Don't! If you rush forward, you will only get in the way. Zero, stay put for now and wait for my instructions."

Ayanami Rei: “But!”

"No buts, this is an order."

Ayanami Rei: ...

the end.

His expression returned to normal: "Understood."

While the two were talking, Unit-01 and the Thunder Angel attacked each other passionately for dozens of moves.

Thunder Angel has indeed been greatly strengthened.

After being hit by a positron cannon, he was like "nothing happened".

Thunder Angel: Just a little bit of wind and frost.

Jon can be said to be suppressing the Thunder Angel.

But the Thunder Angel was no joke, and the waving of its tentacles almost caused a sonic boom.

If it were someone else, they would have knelt down long ago.

But Jon did not kneel.

Not only did he not kneel, but he actually caused considerable damage.

Everyone in the base was stunned.

Is this the speed at which humans can react?

But after the shock, there is endless ecstasy.

The stronger Unit-01 is, the stronger its power against the Angels will be.

Just thinking about it.

Seeing that a certain indicator had finally reached normal, Misato Katsuragi quickly gave the order: "Zero, find the right time and fire another shot."

The first shot missed.

The second shot hit, but the effect was not obvious.

If you get shot a third time, you can't possibly continue to live, right?

After hearing this, Akagi Ritsuko frowned and said, "The third shot? Where does the energy for the positron cannon come from?"

"There will be a power outage tonight and tomorrow. No matter what, destroying the fifth angel is the top priority!" Katsuragi Misato was firm: "I am the commander of this operation. If anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility!"

Listen to her.

The others kept silent.

But Misato Katsuragi was unsure.

Each shot of the positron cannon consumes a huge amount of electricity.

to be honest.

Every shot costs money.

Spending a lot of money.

If you still can't deal with the Thunder Angel.

Katsuragi Misato thought that she might become the biggest war criminal in all of Japan...

I wonder if God heard her prayers.

The third time the electron cannon was charged, it seemed to be more powerful than the previous two times?

"Zero, get ready, you can fire at any time!"

Ayanami Rei: "Understood."

Having said that, it is difficult to find a suitable opportunity to shoot during the battle between Shinji-kun and the Angel.

She aimed for a long time, but to no avail.

The injured Thunder Angel felt that he was in danger, so he took the initiative to expose his flaws, abandoned Unit-01, and quickly came to Unit-00 in a dark, twisted, crawling, strange movement.

Ayanami Rei: !!!

not good.

How could Jon let Thunder Angel get his wish? He hit the enemy's body with a plasma dagger and used both arms to hold the twisted octahedron tightly.

"Shinji-kun! What are you doing, Shinji-kun!" Ayanami Rei was anxious, and the hand holding the gun was shaking.

"Don't worry about me." Jon's tone remained calm. "At this altitude, the positron cannon will definitely not hit the cockpit where I am. You can shoot at will."

Rei Ayanami: "No, I can't do it."

"Shoot, Piccolo, this is an order." Jon smiled and made a Dragon Ball joke.

Although his current situation with Thunder Angel is indeed very similar to that of Goku and Raditz back then.

The opportunity to end the battle was the green-clad Piccolo...oh no, Rei Ayanami.

"But we're so close, we all will." Rei Ayanami didn't finish her words, but her meaning was very clear.

Jon still smiled: “Don’t worry, we will never die.

Now, fire!"

After hearing this, a trace of confusion flashed in Rei Ayanami's eyes.

But based on her trust in Shinji, she still pulled the trigger.

call out--

There was a flash of blue light.

At this moment, this is the most gorgeous color in the world.

The huge impact sent Unit 0 flying.

Before she fell into coma, Ayanami Rei turned back with difficulty, only to see the apostle floating in the air gradually sinking. She couldn't help but feel relieved and said weakly:

"That's great."

……

……

What happened next? Shinji couldn't remember clearly.

When he woke up again, he was still lying on the hospital bed.

The unfamiliar ceiling of the hospital has become familiar.

Turning my head to look around, I saw the bedside table neatly decorated with flowers and a fresh fruit basket.

"I am..."

Shinji woke up and immediately received a lot of attention.

As the boss, Katsuragi Misato breathed a sigh of relief, half complaining and half fearing: "Really, you are too scary. You said you wanted to provide support, but how come you forgot the shield in your hand at the critical moment?"

Shield?

Yes!

Previously, Unit-01 was holding a special shield in its hand.

But the situation was critical at the time, and Shinji had no habit of holding a shield during his usual training, so he naturally used his body as a 'shield'.

Misato Katsuragi said unhappily, "Do you know how much trouble your impulsiveness has brought to the base? If it weren't for the follow-up... Forget it, let's not talk about this."

She looked at Shinji, thought for a moment, and changed the subject: "As soon as the battle was over, Zero opened your hatch at the risk of getting burned.

I've never seen her look like that before."

"Ayanami-san?" Shinji felt a little weird when he heard this name.

Thinking of that cool and moving face, he couldn't help but blush.

Perhaps from this moment on, he truly developed a different feeling for Rei Ayanami.
