Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Toji, having admired Octavia and Vinyl, had taken and sold lots of pictures of both of them. Vinyl, seeing the pictures posted everywhere, was not surprised with this popularity. "You'll be much more popular if you don't attention whore. Granted, I'm not Asuka Soryu Langley, so don't expect me to ruin a battle or get murdered by white faceless Evas. As for you Rei, will you be a good friend to me and Octavia?"

Rei replied, "Only if I'm ordered to do it."

Vinyl thought Rei was odd. "What an odd girl. She relies on others to make decisions for her as if she was perpetually under a mind-controlling Imperius curse."

Then another siren went off, signaling the arrival of a big gray Angel, Israfel. As he toppled buildings just by walking, Octavia hit him with both her anti-AT Field sound blast and bow boomerang, cutting him in half. "That was easy."

Vinyl told her, "In monster of the week shows, if the monster seems to be defeated with at least half of the episode left, something's up."

After Israfel was split in half, the two halves reformed into separate Angels, one gold and one silver. As Rei came in with her Eva and tried to wrestle one of the Angels, the other tripped her and pinned her down. Then the Angels fused again, grabbed her, and tossed her onto the floor, burying her Eva upside down before blasting Octavia with a purple cross explosion and sending her flying. Octie landed safely on a distant mattress, while Israfel got hit by a large explosive. This destroyed a large chunk of his body, but he began to regenerate.

Back at the GeoFront, Octavia and Rei were debriefed by Gendo. "You have lost to an Angel, and risked a Third Impact. You failed to work together, costing us another victory. The Angel took a lot of damage, but now it's regenerating. What is your job?"

Rei said, "To pilot Eva-00."

Gendo told her, "NO! To defeat the Angels. You three, come up with a plan before that Angel finishes regenerating himself. Or else he will destroy you and Tokyo-3 for real."

That night, Octavia came up with a plan after looking back to the anime. She decided to have Rei and Vinyl dance in their massive armors to defeat Israfel. "Israfel is the Angel of music, and must be defeated by dancing. After I slice him in half again, you two have to strike his cores at the same time to finish him off!" The two started by playing Wii Sports Resort's 12 minigames. Despite how Vinyl was using magic to move her Wii remote, she was completely synchronized with Rei. Accompanying the synchronization practice was Octavia playing another orchestral song.

As the sun rose, Israfel had finished regenerating and renewed his rampage to be confronted by Octavia, Rei, and Vinyl. Just like before, Octavia threw her bow to slice Israfel in half. This time, she brought up her stage again and played a fight song. Rei and Vinyl readied their robot suits, got greatly increased stats as the music played, and started dancing to dodge Israfel's attacks and exchange blows with his two halves. Eventually Rei and Vinyl punched both of Israfel's cores, and when the two halves of Israfel recombined, Rei and Vinyl leaped and Falcon Kicked him as the music came to a climax. Israfel cracked under the pressure and blew up. As the smoke cleared, both Rei and Vinyl were lying on the floor like pinned wrestlers. They then comically argued about who messed up their landing.
