Neon Genesis Octavia
9 - The Persistent Angel
Previous ChapterNext ChapterOctavia and Vinyl now realized that Eva would have been just another action series if the main cast wasn't traumatized and dysfunctional. "This reminds us of a later series called Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It was like an un-depressing Evangelion. The main character was like Shinji at first...but unlike Shinji, he actually DEVELOPED and grew an actual spine and hot blood! Plus he wouldn't wallow in trauma. It is no wonder that the world is saved at the end of Gurren Lagann, whereas Shinji ends up moping in a destroyed world. We are not Shinji Ikari. We are Octavia Melody and Vinyl Scratch!"
Rei added, "And Rei Ayanami. Let's kick some flank and pierce the heavens."
A while later, a large spider-like Angel with acid-spitting eyes began to walk towards the GeoFront, dissolving the floor underneath him. The three heroes readied their weapons and did not hesitate to stop him from getting to the building and causing Third Impact. Rei pulled out an NES Zapper and shot at him, but his AT Field prevented him from taking any damage. "Break a leg!" Octavia, Rei, and Vinyl charged at the Angel. Octavia cut the Angel's legs with her bow, Rei did the same with a progressive knife, and Vinyl just grabbed a leg and tripped him.
The Angel faceplanted onto the floor, but then started floating into the air. He continued to shoot acid at the heroes, who just dodged the acid shots. Octavia used her anti-AT Field attack on him, then she, Vinyl, and Rei shot down the acid-shooting eyes. The Angel charged at the heroes again, but Octavia and Vinyl were slowing him down with focused sound blasts. As he got close to them, Rei caught him. Vinyl punched him at the same time Octie and Rei stabbed him in the eye, sending him flying backwards.
Upon landing again, the Angel created a large black and white sphere above him while sucking up objects he came in contact with. Rei began to shoot at him wildly, noticing that the sphere was actually his shadow as one of the Zapper's blast lights landed on a building behind him. Octavia and Vinyl tried to shoot him too, but missed. Vinyl got sucked inside, while Octavia's flying device let her easily avoid being sucked in. Rei picked up a large explosive and charged at him again.
Inside the Angel's body, Vinyl still refused to mope. "For the last time, I'm NOT Asuka! I'm not depressed! Yippie-kie-yay mother bucker." Then she started to tear her way out of the Angel's body. Rei's large explosive hit the Angel, then after the smoke cleared, Vinyl burst through the Angel's body at the same time Octavia hit him with a charged sound blast, making him explode. "Anypony traumatized? I'm not."
Octavia replied, "Nope.avi." Rei didn't show any traumatized emotions, either.
