  6.  
  7. Evangelion Unit-01, the latest and greatest of Jiro Ifukube's many giant mechanical defender projects.
  8.  
  9. Now is the first proper field test for the mechanoid, and against a particularly powerful foe at that, too. For the longest while, the two giants simply stare at each other. Gojira in particular seems quite annoyed at how it was taken off-guard by conventional forces and knocked down by Unit-01. Now that she's gotten back up to her feet, however, she's not going to allow herself to be surprised again, thus explaining why the ground forces aren't currently firing on her.
  10.  
  11.  
  12. (Jiro Ifukube): [COMMS] This is it, Unit-01. The real deal. She may be an old friend, but she's still a target that needs to be subdued. Understood?
  13.  
  14. (Unit-01): Copy, Dr. Ifukube.
  15.  
  16.  
  17. Eva Unit-01 immediately opens fire on Gojira with its pallet-rifle, creating large impact explosions on contact that quickly engulf her entire body. After this quick burst, Unit-01 quickly switches position in a strafing run that circles towards a location northeast of Gojira. As the mechanoid prepares to fire once again, a burst of purple flames erupts out from where Gojira was standing, dissipating the clouds. It's aimed at Unit-01, forcing it to circle around to avoid the oncoming flames.
  18.  
  19. As Gojira sweeps her purple fire breath in an attempt to engulf her biomechanical opponent, the ground forces stationed nearby are forced to switch positions to avoid being incinerated; some of them are still blasted and destroyed.
  20.  
  21. Just as the fire breath is about to catch up to Unit-01, the giant humanoid mech performs a slide, allowing it to duck under the violet flames. While Unit-01 is sliding, it lets loose another burst from its pallet-rifle aimed at Gojira's head, stunning the disfigured young Godzillasaur and cutting off her breath attack. With the main long-ranged threat down, Eva Unit-01 gets back up to its feet from its sliding maneuver and pulls the trigger once more. Unfortunately, the gun doesn't fire; its current ammunition pack has been depleted.
  22.  
  23. While the Evangelion prototype attempts to reload the pallet-rifle, Gojira recovers from the weapons fire that dazed her earlier. She quickly releases another violet fire breath attack, forcing Unit-01 to put up its gun to block the incoming flames. Luckily, though, the rifle proves to be enough of a shield to deflect the fire breath safely outwards. Unluckily, Gojira is beginning to focus her breath attack, thinning the flames and increasing its potency.
  24.  
  25. Soon enough, the fire breath has been focused into a thin precision atomic breath. The beam quickly melts through the pallet-rifle and breaks the weapon in half; it then punches right into Eva Unit-01's body and sends her backwards, only just stopping at the edge of the harbour.
  26.  
  27. While some major damage was inflicted, Unit-01 isn't deterred and immediately rushes forward once the beam has ceased and pulls out its rail-pistol sidearm. Gojira fires her atomic breath once more, but her biomechanical opponent jumps up and over the attack and her. As it does so, the unit fires its rail-pistol in midair at Gojira's head, creating small explosions and throwing off her aim. Once Eva Unit-01 lands behind Gojira, it immediately turns around and fires off the last shot of its rail-pistol. Unlike every other time, Gojira doesn't take the attack head-on. Instead, she somehow manages to completely dodge around the attack with the skill of an expert martial artist weaving around a punch; this moment coincides with a very momentary flash of silver colour in her eyes compared to normal.
  28.  
  29. This flawless reaction briefly catches Evangelion Unit-01 off-guard, but the mechanoid quickly shakes off its hesitation. It then throws away the rail-pistol and charges headlong at Gojira for close-quarters combat.
  30.  
  31. The advantage in melee is cleanly in Eva Unit-01's favour due to its greater reach and practiced skill, as seen with how the biomechanical defender effortlessly blocks Gojira's attempts to swipe at it with its forearms. The mutated young Godzillasaur then attempts to snap at Unit-01, but her jaws are quickly palm-forced upwards. After Unit-01 then sends a powerful open palm strike at Gojira's jutting chest, sending out a huge burst of invisible Ki pressure outwards from the impact and forcing Gojira backwards like she did to Unit-01 earlier.
  32.  
  33. Before Gojira can properly recover, Eva Unit-01 rushes in once more and jumps into a flying double-kick that impacts her chest, sending her flying backwards into the harbour.
  34.  
  35. As Unit-01 walks over towards the harbour, the remaining ground forces are attempting to regroup and reorganize. One of the privates on the ground looks up at a building, but he turns his attention back to the rest of the squad and continues to help his squadmates back to their feet. In the spot where he was looking, a figure disengages its invisibility cloak and brings up a datapad to record and relay an encrypted live feed of the fight going on so as to not be detected by the C.D.F. on-site.
  36.  
  37.  
  38. (Unknown Figure): Are you getting this?
  39.

  48.  
  49. Within the undersea hideout of the remnants of the Axis Alliance, deep channels have been unearthed thanks to the excavation efforts and Da'at Yichud intelligence gleaned from the executed prisoners. One channel in particular is a tunnel leading down to a large Atlantean hangar that originally served as a holding area for large prefabricated structures for the expansion of the civilization's physical infrastructure.
  50.  
  51. Now, though?
  52.  
  53. Now, the hangar has been converted into a staging area for several large platforms holding old Warmonger bodies. Among them is Obsidian Fury, the prototype from WWIII that was intended to serve as the winning weapon for Russia. The Axis Alliance remnants' members are busy prepping these shells, running diagnostics and applying modern innovations to improve the physical and systematic performance of each Warmonger.
  54.  
  55. Overseeing the refitting operation is none other than Vandal Savage, who is currently keeping tabs on everything on his datapad. He receives an encrypted COMMS hail and opens it up.
  56.  
  57.  
  58. (Vandal Savage): Clear as day, scout. Keep relaying information. The more data we gather for combat profiles on the two of them, the better Obsidian Fury's adaptive systems can predict and counter whatever the G.U.D. or Kaiju throw at us.
  59.  
  60. (Axis Alliance Scout): [COMMS] Understood, sir.
