Neon Genesis Octavia
10 - Bardiel, the 13th Angel
Previous ChapterNext ChapterBack at the GeoFront, NERV was preparing Evangelion Unit 03 for use against the Angels. "Attention everypony, the Fourth Child has been selected! Toji Suzuhara is now the designated pilot of our fourth constructed Evangelion, Unit 03!"
Toji was surprised that he was a Chosen One too. "I'm...THE CHOSEN ONE! OMG! I never expected this! It'll be fun to be able to fight alongside Octavia Melody, Vinyl Scratch, and Rei Ayanami!"
Toji went to the GeoFront to meet Gendo. Gendo told him, "You are a Chosen One now! You're the only one who can pilot the newly-constructed Unit 03. Will you do it?"
Toji said yes without hesitation and climbed inside the black Evangelion. Octavia and Vinyl were excited to add a fourth fighter to their team. Unit 03 activated, but then Bardiel, an Angel in the form some nondescript white mist, flew inside and possessed Unit 03. The Eva went out of control and destroyed the activation room it was in. NERV tried to cut its power, but that failed. So did the attempt to eject the Entry Plug. Then the Eva grabbed one of the redshirts standing around and threw him out the window before Rei used hers to tear through the AT Field and shove Bardiel into the Eva catapult, sending him flying outside the GeoFront.
Gendo told her, "What did you do that for?!? Now that you simply kicked it out of the building, it's coming back to cause a Third Impact!"
Rei said, "There's a pilot inside there. I can't get him killed."
Gendo replied, "That isn't relevant! The only thing that matters is that Eva is one of the Angels! Now don't let him get back in here!"
Rei, Octavia, and Vinyl rose out of the GeoFront with their weapons to continue fighting Bardiel. Rei grabbed a pipe and thrusted at Bardiel multiple times without hitting him. Bardiel grabbed the pipe, threw it aside, and started to crush her Eva's arm while also infecting it. Gendo yelled at her, "This is a real fight, you know! That's a real Angel, and the pilot shouldn't be an excuse to hold back!" To prevent her Eva from being infected, he had the arm remotely detached. This was followed by Vinyl grabbing Bardiel into a headlock, throwing him to the floor, and literally curbstomping him. Gendo shouted, "This isn't professional wrestling! Well Rei is useless here, since she won't fight back. I don't give a crap about killing as many innocent people as Robeasts! Let's use the Dummy Plug!"
Then Rei's Eva started moving on its own, charging at Bardiel and punching him in the face as he got up. Rei said, "I can't control it! It's gonna kill Toji!"
Octavia sprung into action with a determined look. "I'll make sure it doesn't have to." With her flying device, she flew over to the jammed Entry Plug and cut the glue with her bow. Then Vinyl pulled the Entry Plug out and tossed it aside. As soon as it landed, Toji evacuated.
"There. Now that we don't have to kill Toji, don't hold back." Then both Octavia and Vinyl started playing a possession counter-curse in the form of another song to stop Bardiel.
Rei's Eva punched Bardiel, but at the same time, he kicked her in the side, grabbed her, span her, and threw her into a wall. She threw a knife at him as he charged, then she grabbed his leg and tripped him. Then she grabbed him and did a metronomic man mash on him. He got up and roundhouse kicked her backwards, then she shot him with a Zapper.
Eva-03's batteries died and Bardiel abandoned his host after the musical number finished. He then got shot and cut by Octavia. After this, he tried to possess Vinyl's robot, but Vinyl just shot him back out into the sky with her arm cannon. "Yippie kie yay mother bucker." Then she and Octie explosively obliterated him with a supercharged sound wave.
After Bardiel was destroyed, Rei told Gendo, "Octavia Melody and Vinyl Scratch have been painted as protectors, but you almost made me kill Toji and didn't give a crap about it! And you would have if these two didn't evacuate him!" She then started hopping on the GeoFront for a minute before Gendo compressed the LCL inside her Eva to stop her from jumping around. Then the batteries died.
