Toji regained his consciousness as Octavia looked at the blue-haired girl in the streets. "What are you looking at, musical superhero? Rei's *dolphin noise*? Her *boat horn*? Her *bell rings*?"

Octie told him, "No. I'm curious about why she was injured at the GeoFront. I've got some questions to ask her." She used her glider to fly over to Rei, the girl. "Hello Rei. I'm Octavia Melody, the musical superhero everypony in Tokyo-3 is talking about. When I saw you in NERV's building, you were heavily bandaged. How did you get those injuries?"

Rei help up a square video screen showing a flashback of how she got heavily injured. "I piloted an Evangelion in its activation test, just like the one Shinji was trying to pilot last night. Suddenly, the Eva went out of control and tried to break out of the room and crush everypony in its vicinity. Gendo had to cut off the Eva's power, and this caused the entry plug to bounce around the room. As he opened its burning patch with his bare hands, he cared more about my injuries than his own."

Octavia replied, "Ouch. So you're an Eva pilot." Then she met a blonde-haired woman, Dr. Akagi Ritsuko.

Ritsuko told her. "I'm Dr. Akagi Ritsuko. The incident was most likely caused by Rei's mental instability. You're very lucky since you neither have an Eva nor psychological problems."

Octavia said, "You're right. If I was piloting one of those things, it would have caused me heavy physical and psychological damage due to the pilot synchronization. Instead of a traumatized super robot pilot, I'm a typical flying superhero. This information may be foreshadowing something: The Angels seem to be giving brainwave signatures very similar to humans. Could they be mutated humans or something?!?"

Ritsuko replied, "Could be possible."

Then a giant blue octahedron Robeast, Ramiel, showed up and shot a large laser at Octie, who leaped to dodge it. He then began to drill into the GeoFront. Ritsuko said, "That's another of the Angels. He's drilling into the GeoFront to cause a Third Impact and wipe out humanity. But stay away from him, since he's blasting moving objects close to him!" Ramiel shot down a taxi next to him. Octie then ran away to charge up a devastating attack, then ordered Rei to get back into her Eva. Rei said she didn't care if she would end up destroyed at all, then ran back to the GeoFront to initialize her Eva's start-up sequence. She then grabbed a huge shield of super-metal so she could block one of Ramiel's attacks.

Octie also said, "We can't let him fully charge an unsurvivable and unavoidable attack. Send a redshirt army after him so that he uses up his energy for lesser attacks instead. Since you've got this superhero, you don't have to use all of Japan's electricity to charge an attack." Then NERV sent a bunch of tanks and planes to serve as a distraction. Ramiel blew up several of the ones that got close to him using laser beams, then when one of the tanks shot a large missile at him, he retaliated with a blast of equal force after brushing it off with his AT Field. He was also pumped full of lasers and missiles, but they all equated to sneezing on him. Then his energy attacks tore through their sources as if their armor wasn't there.

Octavia, hiding behind a drinking fountain, had finished charging her attack by playing an entire musical number. She unleashed another supercharged sound blast, cracking Ramiel's AT Field and throwing him away from the GeoFront. He fell to the floor, blew up the tanks and planes near him again, and got up to fire a laser beam at the fountain Octie was hiding behind. But then Rei, in her Eva, jumped in the direction of the laser to block it with her super-shield, which began to melt while holding off the laser. This gave Octie enough time to charge another attack. Her bow began glowing brightly as she held it up. "GIGA...DRILL...DESTROYER BOW!" She tossed it at Ramiel like a javelin, piercing through him. The bow returned to her and she said "Class dismissed. You failed" right before striking one last note and exploding him. Then she told Rei, "That was a great job."

Rei told her, "Yes. But even if I die, I can be replaced, so I took the potentially sacrificial role."

Octavia told her, "Don't think of yourself as disposable! You're not!"

Rei said, "Yes, I am. Gendo cloned me multiple times."

Octie told her, "Even if you are a clone, you are still special." Rei smiled for the first time in forever.
