Neon Genesis Octavia

After the very easy fight against Jet Alone, Octavia and Misato boarded a helicopter and were dropped off at a massive US naval convoy, meeting another popular pony: Vinyl Scratch. This white, blue-maned pony wore purple shades. She was glad to see Octavia again after four episodes (due to Shinji getting killed and replaced, there are fewer in this fic) and asked her what was up.

Octavia told her friend Vinyl about her recent adventures. "I had played the opening theme to Neon Genesis Evangelion in a street concert. Then the Angels, who caused the catastrophic Second Impact, returned to cause the Third Impact. The dysfunctional Shinji Ikari was picked up from my crowd to fight the Angels, but I knew that he would only make things worse. So I jinxed his robot, getting him killed in order to defeat the Angels myself with my superpowered cello, bow, and flying platform, and a spine."

Vinyl commented, "Shinji was boring, and one of the most hated lead characters of all time anyways. He didn't have a spine unlike you, and combined with the weapon he was trying to use, he would have made things much worse. His depression ended up destroying the world in the anime. OOPS! SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE! Glad you were able to take over and prove better at killing Angels than somepony who would have been traumatized easily and not bounced back. And you're not the only musical superhero around here." The radio set than Vinyl was standing in the center of came to life, floated around her, and formed a Megazord suit for her to control. "Rest assured, Megazords like this don't have the batteries and synchronization weaknesses of the Evas, which Misato hates. Nor are they cloned from the Angels. Shall I demonstrate mine?"

Misato told Vinyl, "You better be able to penetrate A-"

Vinyl replied, "AT Fields? Octie can take care of that. She and I can just work as a team. Unlike the character I'm replacing, I'm not an attention whore." Then she punched over some stacked boxes and crushed them like a paper cup before blasting a distant barrel with sound blasts.

Afterwards, the Jaws theme started playing to signal the approach of Gaghiel, the 6th Angel. He had a shark-like body and teeth, a head like Sachiel's on his neck, and a big red ball in his mouth. Gaghiel leaped, landed on one of the boats, and sunk it. He was looking for the Adam embryo, which was secretly held on the boat that Misato, Octavia, and Vinyl were standing on. Octavia was the first to attack Gaghiel. She hit him with her AT-Field-destroying sound blast, breaking his AT Field and throwing him backwards. Then she tried to cut him with her bow boomerang attack, but the attack did zero damage. She remarked, "I've got to aim at his mouth in order to defeat him. That's where his core is located. Vinyl, you've got to hold his mouth open!"

Vinyl saluted before leaping into the water with the Megazord suit still on her. Then Misato told the navy captain, "I'll need your cooperation. I've loaded one of your ships with explosives. That's what will be used to defeat this Angel. While Vinyl holds the Angel's mouth open, your ship will blast its mouth and the explosives will go off." Misato extended the explosive-laden ship's rope into the water to catch Gaghiel. Underwater, Vinyl dodged Gaghiel's tackle attack, punched him backwards, and grabbed him as he tackled her again.

Vinyl said, "Say Ahh!" while trying to open Gaghiel's mouth. Gaghiel resisted, jerking around in an attempt to throw Vinyl off. When this didn't work, Gaghiel pulled a bodily Giga Drill Break on her. Vinyl yelled, "Octavia, lend me your power!" Octavia turned her flying platform back into a stage and started performing again, playing a song that greatly enhanced Vinyl's strength status. Vinyl was able to open Gaghiel's mouth, then the explosive-laden ship went inside and fired its cannons directly at his core while Octavia shot another sound blast at the core, shattering it. At this point, the explosives went off and Gaghiel exploded along with the ship. Vinyl jumped back onto Misato's and Octavia's ship, remarking "Glad I got to fight alongside my friend Octavia. Why was that Angel directly targeting the ship you were on?"

Misato said, "These Angels have been going after the Adam embryo, stored on this ship. Angel + Adam Embryo = Third Impact. That's what we're fighting to prevent."

The next day at school, Toji was surprised to see that Vinyl had moved in to Tokyo-3 as a new student. "Whoa! TWO musical superheroes?!? Okay, I have a much easier time believing they would save the world than spineless, easily-traumatized wimps."
