Later outside
M4, STAR-15, RO635, and Sopmod II were staring at the iron giant in front of them, they were already wearing the new equipment and their minds were connected with the Moon Cell meaning they had access to the data of the Imperium. The thing that was in front of them was called Frontier-Type Titan, it was recovered by the Imperium during their journey in the frontier. This type of titan was not to confused with the titans of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
"Hi!" Sopmod II said waving her hand to the towering machines which stared at their hands for a few seconds as if they were analyzing them before waving back at her "Which one of you is my partner?"
One of the giant machines, a Legion Type of Titan kneeled in front of her "I'm LV-141, you're my assigned pilot" it said as he placed its hand on the ground in front of SOP
"Nice to meet you!" the tactical doll replied as she stepped on the hand of her titan before being placed inside its body.
The other titans knelt in front of their respective pilots. M4 got an Ion-Class while STAR-15 a Northstar and RO635 a Monarch-Class titan.
"Woah" M4 said as she entered the titan, she had the training imprinted inside her digimind, she knew thew procedures but seeing them and doing them left her with a feeling of awe
"This is so awesome!" Sop said through the radio as she started walking her titan "RO look!"
"Calm down Sop! There are people around us, it's dangerous!" RO replied sighing
"It's easier than I thought" Star 15 said as she starting walking with her Northstar
"yeah" M4 agreed as she checked the weapon systems when suddenly someone literally knocked on the back of her titan causing the tactical doll to be surprised.
When M4 turned around, she saw another Ion-Class titan "Still getting used to these? Are you thinking that you'll be able to fight before the Honkai God shows up?" UMP45 said through the radio
"Oh come on captain, cut her some slack" G11 said as she joined the two with her Monarch-Class titan
"I was only joking, I hope I didn't offend you" 45 replied with a giggle
"No offense taken" M4 replied coldly "Do you know what is our current objective?"
"We are going to the Sangvis" 45 replied causing everyone to stop what they were doing
"FUCK YEAH!" Sop shouted as her titan showed off its massive minigun "Time to kick some serious Sangvis asses!"
"To recover them" 45 concluded causing again to stop everyone's actions
"what?" Everyone asked shocked
"It seemed like the Imperium has a deal with Mastermind" 45 said
"We could..." Sop muttered "literally...stomp them..."
M4 remained silent, as the thought of seeing her again kept her mind busy. Star 15 caught wind about what M4 was thinking and had to admit that she was uneasy when thinking about that doll. "Does the commander know?"
"Which one?" 45 joked before understanding that M4 wasn't in the mood for jokes "The poor widower commander has been already informed...As soon as everything is set, we'll depart to go there" 45 said calmly "I'll leave you to think about it. G11, you come with me"
The two walked away leaving M4 to stare at the sky filled with Imperial Spaceships.
Neo Tokyo 3
Najenda was making her wait through the NERV base of Neo Tokyo 3, the Imperial Army had already took control over Tokyo after a few skirmishes with the JSDF, and had forced the population to stay home, the airports were shut down and the Imperial Ships were waiting for a possible counterattack of the United States Army. Najenda would have been here if it wasn't for the fact that Anastasia had contacted her from Moscow telling her about the Second Herrscher and the fact that she needed to recover the EVA units as soon as possible in order to use them to protect the city from what was about to come.
BB told Najenda that she would have awoken everyone on the base but the entire place seemed like a damn labyrinth to her. Her and her Silver Claws Astartes, clad in Green with black outlines power armors, finally made their way to the NERV command room where to women were waiting for them.
The first one was wearing a sleeveless black flapper dress with a cross necklace, a fancy red jacket with stylized accents, green socks, and black boots. She had long dark violet hair that is wavy with bangs parted to the sides and dark brown eyes.
The second one was wearing a lab coat with a purple shirt under it and a skirt. She had short brown hair and dark green eyes.
Both of them had a serious expression on their faces and didn't seem to mind the sizes of their guests.
"Major Misato Katsuragi and Operation Director of Nerv" The first one said as she did a military salute "This is my colleague Ritsuko Akagi, Nerv's head scientist"
"Primarch Najenda" Najenda replied with a nod before looking around "It is just you here?"
"Negative, but we are the few that were able to walk and work" Misato replied
"What about the pilots?" Najenda asked causing the woman in front of her to frown a bit
"They are...operative" she replied
"We need to deploy them to Tokyo, the city is in danger" The Primarch said before looking at the scientist "Are the EVA units operational?"
"The batteries will not work after all this time inactive and the Umbilical Cable needed to keep them active is not that long, also part of the base is destroyed so we don't have much energy to begin with" Ritsuko replied
"We can provide the energy, can you make them work?" Najenda asked getting a nod
"With all respect ma'am, but the pilots need more time to get ready" Misato interjected
Najenda sighed "I wouldn't ask them to fight right away if it wasn't necessary Major Katsuragi" she said calmly "You have 24 hours, the Empress asked me to tell that the threat is similar to the 10th Angel"
