Neon Genesis Octavia

After dismissing her robot armor, Vinyl was surrounded by a bunch of reporters, one of which gave her a microphone. "You seem to be the replacement for Asuka Soryu Langley. Why did you replace her? Are you better than her or something?!?"

Vinyl spoke into the microphone, "I knew she was traumatized and that would have gotten in the way of the action, so I took her place. She was an attention whore, so she piloted the first production model Evangelion, Eva-02 (red). Eva-01 (purple) and Eva-00 (blue) are just the test type and prototype, respectively."

*flash back to before Vinyl joined the team*

On the streets of Tokyo-3, a redhead by the name of Asuka Soryu Langley had volunteered to pilot the first production model Evangelion. It was crimson red. Meanwhile, Vinyl Scratch had also been publicly demonstrating her powered robot armor formed from a mobile radio set on street performances. She easily tore through fake walls with an arm cannon and punches as if they weren't there - while playing a typical fight song on her suit.

Asuka saw the suit in motion and remarked, "That's one lame Eva wannabe. Playing music doesn't make it cooler than the Evas. Nor does that armor-piercing arm cannon. I'm the chosen one, and piloting the real thing! I'm gonna be the center of attention after fighting the Angels!" Then she walked towards the suit.

Vinyl stated, "Rest assured, my robot suit is NOT one of those Evangelions, which are hazardous to their pilots' mental health. I may not be a chosen one, but I was smart enough to build a superior robot suit instead of synchronizing with an Eva. That would have made things worse for me. Now it's time for me to further demonstrate its superiority to what the wrong Chosen One uses!" She replayed the fight song to confront Asuka and her Eva.

Asuka pulled out her Eva's knife, saying that she toppled nine other Evas with it. But Vinyl shouted "EXPELLIARMUS" and shot her with the arm cannon. This shattered Asuka's AT Field, threw her back, and made the knife fall to the floor. "Maybe, but you underestimated them big time. You were too eager to destroy any of their cores!"

Asuka gave Vinyl a huge "SHUT UP" and got her into a wrestling lock. Both pilots squeezed each other's arms. Asuka got a cramp from the Eva synchronization, but Vinyl was unaffected.

"See why I don't synchronize with my suit?" Vinyl remarked. Asuka tried to shoot her with an Eva rifle, but that got knocked away too with the aforementioned Expelliarmus attack.

Then after the two pilots punched and kicked each other multiple times, Eva-02's battery died and it stopped moving. Vinyl picked up the Eva. "Yippie kie yay mother bucker." Then she powerbombed it, exploding it and leaving Asuka lying on the floor in a circle of soot.

"And that's it for my demonstration. As for you Asuka, it's not safe for psychologically unstable child soldiers like you to fight evil monsters. Just leave the Angels to me. I'm better equipped to handle them, as I just demonstrated. You'll just clash with your teammates and be traumatized even more if you get involved any further."

Asuka replied, "How am I gonna get attention now?!?"

Vinyl told her to see a psychiatrist, then Asuka got picked up by an ambulance that took her there. "With the attention whore out of the way, the Angels are going down."
