  1. [April 27, 2168]
  2. [Otaru, Japan]
  3. [Japanese Mainland]
  4.

  6.  
  7. The battle between Gojira and Evangelion Unit-01 has taken a dramatic turn, with the young disfigured Godzillasaur left dazed in the harbour and the mechanoid giant walking over to her to finish the job.
  8.  
  9. While Gojira starts to get back up to its feet and pushes up against the silt bottom of the harbour with her small arms, Unit-01 grabs hold of the back of her neck with its left hand and forcibly brings her up onto her knees. The unit then starts hammering against Gojira's face with its balled up right fist, over and over. Despite being unflinching in its unceasing barrage of punches on the outside, within its own mind, Eva Unit-01 is caught in a major conflict.
  10.  
  11.  
  12. (Karen Marais): *mental* Keep going, guys, she's almost subdued!
  13.  
  14. (Sasha Kalashnikov): *mental* A few more punches should do it!
  15.  
  16. (Feng Lee): *mental* Guys, don't go overboard. She's still our friend.
  17.  
  18. (Sasha Kalashnikov): *mental* Used to be. Now she's just our opponent.
  19.  
  20.  
  21. As Eva Unit-01 continues to hammer at Gojira's face, dark red blood starts to pour out from the impact area; it's also starting to swell up massively. Although Gojira has been unable to fight back whatsoever, the biomechanical titan continues to land blows without pause, without mercy.
  22.  
  23.  
  24. (Feng Lee): *mental* Dammit, stop! Can't you see she's had enough?!
  25.  
  26. (Karen Marais): *mental* Feng, this is no time to get cold feet!
  27.  
  28. (Sasha Kalashnikov): *mental* Yeah! She's not the sweet little apprentice you once knew! Look at her, ugly and mutated!
  29.  
  30. (Feng Lee): *mental I SAID STOP!!
  31.  
  32.  
  33. Coinciding with Feng Lee's outburst, the Evangelion immediately stops its barrage of blows; its fist is left hanging while winded back. Additionally, Unit-01's whole body is shaking, especially its hanging arm and fist.
  34.  
  35.  
  36. (Sasha Kalashnikov): *mental* Feng, we have to keep going.
  37.  
  38. (Feng Lee): *mental* No, we are not! This isn't right! Satoshi, tell them!
  39.  
  40. (Satoshi Yamane): *mental* Perhaps we have been a bit too--
  41.  
  42. (All): *mental* Gaaaahhhhhh!
  43.  
  44.  
  45. All of a sudden, the voices are silenced. Eva Unit-01 starts moving again, though much more erratically and without the precision and confidence it displayed earlier. It releases its grip on Gojira's neck and starts to back up, clutching the sides of its heads with both of its hands; Gojira drops down face first into the harbour. As Unit-01 continues to back up, it thrashes around and shakes its clutched head wildly, as if struggling with a manic episode; it eventually backs up right into a building, leaving it standing but damaged.
  46.  
  47.  
  48. (Unit-01): NO MORE! NO MORE YELLING!
  49.  
  50.  
  51. The Evangelion turns around on the spot and grabs the sides of the building. It then begins to ram its head into the building repeatedly, destroying it after just a few headbutts. Unit-01 then moves on to another building and continues to smash its head against it. While this is going on, the Eva Unit tunes out almost every single COMMS hail that comes its way from the local C.D.F. regiments stationed at Otaru. The only one that manages to break through its self-imposed blockers is that of Jiro Ifukube, which makes sense seeing as how he designed and implemented the algorithms.
  52.  
  53.  
  54. (Jiro Ifukube): [COMMS] Eva Unit-01, cease your actions now! The mission still stands!
  55.  
  56. (Unit-01): NO MORE YELLING! NO MORE! DON'T WANT FIGHTING, DON'T WANT!
  57.  
  58. (Jiro Ifukube): [COMMS] Listen to me, pilots! If you're in there, you must agree to--
  59.  
  60. (Unit-01): NO! NO PILOTS! NO YELLING! ONLY WANT ME!
  61.  
  62.  
  63. Evangelion Unit-01 somehow manages to block even its creator's backchannel, a testament to its overwhelming stress and emotionally-charged Ki properties. The mechanoid titan then looks up into the sky and rips its sealed helmet, allowing it to freely move its mouth with the helmet plating still grafted to its jaws. With this new vocal freedom, Unit-01 begins to yell and howl loudly like a wild animal; pain, anger, and sadness can be felt all at once from its cries.
  64.  
  65. While this is all going on, Gojira manages to get back her feet; her facial structure also starts to regenerate into its original state before her beating. Once it does, the mutated young Godzillasaur starts to lumber out of the harbour and back into the city of Otaru. As she continues to lumber inland, she spots Unit-01 yelling and howling into the sky a short distance away. Unlike before, though, Gojira shows no outward signs of aggression. In fact, she looks quite confused, unable to understand just what exactly is transpiring with her opponent.
  66.  
  67. As Gojira looks on, Eva Unit-01 takes notice and growls loudly; it then charges headlong with reckless abandon. This snaps Gojira out of her wide-eyed stare instantly, prompting her to quickly fire off her violet Ki-charged fire breath at Unit-01. Unlike before, the Eva Unit makes no attempt to dodge the flames and is engulfed in fire entirely; Gojira continues to breathe fire. All of a sudden, Unit-01 bursts out of the flames, burned but still very much active. The mechanoid grabs its opponent by the throat and pushes her through several buildings, eventually putting her against a particularly tall skyscraper.
  68.  
  69. Eva Unit-01 continues to choke Gojira, cutting off her reflexive breathing and dimming the purple light flowing through her body and dorsal plates. As biomechanical humanoid continues to strangle the disfigured Godzillasaur, the latter starts to bubble and froth at the mouth; her eyes also start to lose focus and roll back out of her control.
  70.  
  71. After a few moments of choking, Gojira's dorsal plates start to regain their violet glow; she also begins to regain consciousness. With this newfound strength, the young Godzillasaur grabs Unit-01's forearms and starts to pull them outwards, slowly but surely, until the two giants are locked in a power struggle where neither is able to overwhelm the other. Gojira then gives a powerful headbutt, sending Eva Unit-01 stumbling backwards a bit. She headbutted the mechanoid so hard, in fact, that its decorative horn adornment has been embedded into her forehead
  72.  
  73. Because she can't physically reach up and pull it out, Gojira's flesh instead pushes out the horn and quickly heals itself.
  74.  
  75. Unit-01 seems particularly enraged at this and roars loudly. It then grabs hold of an empty train situated on a monorail and rips it off entirely. Out of the blue, the line of connected train cars starts to be engulfed in arcing orange electrical energy emanating from the Evangelion's hand; the train starts to twist and shape itself into serrated edges, eventually becoming something akin to a whip with bladed segments.

  89. At the command centre, the head officers leading the Bilusaludo's Mechagodzilla project are in awe at what they've just witnessed: Unit-01 transmutating a line of train cars into a bladed whip.
  90.  
  91.  
  92. (Lt. Belu-be): The Eva Unit also makes use of transmutation!
  93.  
  94. (Cmdr. Galu-gu): This is unprecedented! Two beings able to mold other substances to their will! We must find out how to replicate this with the Nanometal!

  102. Within the void of the Meta, three shining golden lights form once again.
  103.  
  104.  
  105. "So you return. It is because of the young one, is it not?"
  106.  
  107. "That is correct, overseer. You must see it too, now."
  108.  
  109. "I do. She holds what would have been the potential of my successor. And I also am starting to realize what you are."
  110.  
  111. "Is that so, overseer? What do you think I am?"
  112.  
  113. "You are the original one. The first Metarch. The one from which all others derive from. The progenitor."
  114.  
  115. "Very good. You and I will set in motion a revolution that will change the cycle forever."
  116.  
  117.  
  118. The three golden lights disappear soon after this conversation.
