Angel

"So, it has been three years since you two last met. I think Shinji won't be happy with your letter." The old man with a fairly young face, smooth grey hair, and brown eyes, looked at Gendo with an emotionless face.

"Mm. I don't need his happiness nor anything else other than his body to help us. Fuyutsuki, you are aware of his capabilities, aren't you? I think this was a result of the accident 10 years ago, maybe with him, we might succeed much sooner than we expect." Gendo took a sip of the hot coffee in his mug, as he gave blank look towards the main monitor at the central control room.

There a tall, thin, with humanoid proportions creature that had a bone-like face that resembled a bird, walked without paying attention to the hundreds of HPM(High Penetration Missiles) tanks spread across the mountains that surrounded Tokyo-3.

A few meters away from them, a few men were sitting at a round table, they watched every movement of the giant creature with attention.

"Gendo, don't tell me you plan on sending an armed squadron to kidnap him again? He is like a miniature angel, one that keeps getting stronger and stronger as time passes, we failed to secure his body two years ago, and now that he has an A.T. Field, this would be even more difficult."

Gendo slightly lowered his head, his eyes focused on a file next to his mug, a picture of Shinji, with his short black hair and wearing his black loose clothes was attached to it, below his name there was a label, 'Danger levels beyond acceptable limits.'

"If we can't use our power, perhaps our words might have a better effect at convincing him to do what we want. Either way, whether or not he agrees, he will help us."

"All communication lines were deactivated due to the state of emergency."

Shinji sighed and hung up the payphone, how is he supposed to contact miss Katsuragi in this situation? As he pondered over the matter, the ground underneath his feet started shaking as the sound of many aircraft reached his ears, turning to the right, he looked at the side of a mountain for a moment, a few seconds later four or five fighter aircraft appeared flying backward while attracting the attention of a giant black creature that had its wide and large shoulders covered by bone-like armor.

"W-what!?" Before Shinji could even start to understand what he was seeing, his hair stood on end as cold sweat poured down his face.

Three missiles capable of making precise maneuvers flew above his head making a strong gust of air sweep him. They turned right after going past a building and went towards the creature, when Shinji looked up there were fourteen more missiles that came from somewhere else.

Three hit the creature's face, making massive white explosions and the others hit other areas of the monster's body, the explosion somehow managed to knock back the monster but it soon recovered its balance.

As if things couldn't get any worse, the creature lifted its right hand and pointed at one of the fighters, soon after the bone protruding from its elbow started glowing with a pink light before rapidly extending and hitting that fighter, the attack pierced the aircraft's hull making it fall back just a few meters away from Shinji.

The sound of the impact was such that he had to cover his ears to mitigate the uncomfortable feeling on them.

At that moment a sound even louder came from the creature as it jumped from behind the mountain and fell right on top of the fighter, making it explode.

Seeing the large fireball Shinji activated his A.T. Field to protect himself but unconsciously raised his arms, crossing them in front of him to protect himself from any shards. What he didn't expect though was the blue car that appeared out of nowhere and stopped right in front of him.

"Ikari Shinji, isn't it? Sorry for making you wait. Hop on! Let's get out of here!" A beautiful young woman with dark violet hair and dark brown eyes spoke with Shinji.

Seeing her he wasted no more time and ran towards the car, she was the one he was waiting for, Miss Katsuragi Misato.

As soon as he entered her car, the fighters started firing everything they had, from bullets to missiles, the impact was destroying parts of the buildings around them, and just as some of the debris hit the ceiling of the car, she stomped her foot on the accelerator and in a maneuver that could make any professional drift racer have his mouth hanging in surprise, she glided across the street and took them away from the giant creature.

"Target remains unaffected by the missile battery, the artillery failed at causing damage to the object. The target is moving towards the center of Tokyo-3."

"Reporting, our Air Force can not stop it!"

"DAMN IT! HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KILL THIS THING WITH THIS MEDIOCRE FIREPOWER!" One of the men sitting at the round table snapped a pen in half due to his anger.

"Open fire! Use everything we got, I want this thing dead!" The other shouted.

"Do not retreat, take down the target at any cost!"

.\|/.

Shinji looked up from the window as Katsuragi reached the highway, a big airplane carrying a single missile that was the same size as it, fired it towards the creature, however, it catched the big missile with its hand and somehow cut through it as if it was made of paper, when the monster's hand reached the missile engine the thing exploded launching a wave of chemical flames at it, but the fire soon died out.

.\|/.

Seeing the image on the main monitor, one of the men hit the table. "HOW!? IT WAS A DIRECT IMPACT!"

"The tank battalion was completely destroyed. Guided missiles and artillery have no effect..."

"This is useless! We will get nowhere with this level of firepower, we must use the N² weapons!"

Fuyutsuki and Gendo watched the generals discussing the situation with little to no interest, however, when they looked at the screen and saw the events that transpired, they nodded to themselves.

"He is protecting himself with an A.T. Field as expected," Fuyutsuki commented.

"Um, as already proved, common weapons have no effects against angels." As soon as Gendo finished speaking, a phone started ringing at the round table and one of the generals picked it.

After a moment he nodded to himself and said. "Understood, we will use it right now." He hung up the phone and shouted. "N² weapons authorized, activate the landmines!"

.\|/.

Tokyo-3 was a big city, the whole place was pretty much divided into four districts that are mostly far away from each other, to get to other districts you have to use either a vehicle or a train, and in between each district, there were wide plains and many large hills.

Shinji and Katsuragi had stopped halfway to the main district of the city, she was leaning against the window at his side while using a binocular to look at the approaching monster.

While a little bit uncomfortable seeing the two peaks hanging in front of him, the fact that he was partially able to see them thanks to her dress that was a bit looser in the breast area, made him blush slightly, but he didn't stop looking at them, it wasn't his fault that she decided to climb on him to watch whatever was happening outside or that she decided to fetch him without using a bra, besides, he had his A.T. Field protecting the car, no object would be able to hit it while he was in there.

"Eh!? Why are the fighters retreating? Wait! Don't tell me they want to use the N² landmines! Shinji get down!"

Before Shinji could reply she forced him to get down, her peaks pressing against his face as the loudest sound he had ever heard in his life reached his ears and the sky became orange, from the corner of his eyes he saw something that looked like a white, orange and yellow hurricane made out of pure energy, the explosion somehow created four rings of shock waves, one at the base of the explosion and three others at the upper area of the pillar-like explosion that went so high up in the sky that it probably reached the stratosphere.

At that moment a powerful wind knocked over his A.T. Field, not expecting this kind of development, he had no time to adjust his field and the car was dragged away. The powerful wind ended up making the car roll over again and again almost seven times only stopping with one of the doors facing the ground.

Feeling her melons scratching against his face, he couldn't help but smile slightly, unfortunately, it only remained like that for a few seconds before she stood up and looked outside through the window.

Curious by how things became outside he also stood up and looked.

Somehow the explosion had yet to disappear so that hurricane-like fire pillar remained there for a few more seconds before revealing the same creature from before but now most of its body seemed to have melted slightly, and you could see that the bone-like armor on his shoulder and chest protecting the red sphere was burnt.

"Just what the hell is this!? How did it survive the blast!?" Shinji blurted out involuntarily, he couldn't deny how surprised he was by the scene.

"Yeah, this damn bastard is pretty tough." Katsuragi nodded. "Speaking of this, how are you? Are you hurt?"

"Eh? No, I'm fine, just a little bit shocked by the situation..."

"Then, let's get out of the car and turn it over so we can get out of here, that thing is not going to stand still for long."

Shinji nodded and followed her out of the car.

She was about to help him, however, she stopped and gave him a curious look. "Mm... I heard you're pretty strong, can you do this on your own?"

"You want to know if I can push the car on my own?"

"Yup."

"Hehe, just watch it then." Shinji laughed and stood at the side of the car's ceiling, he touched the upper side and put some strength, and in just four seconds the car was back on its four wheels.

"Wow! I heard about your achievements but I didn't know you're so strong, for someone as pretty as you, I would never guess your muscles were so developed!"

"That's because I wear those loose clothes, they make people misjudge me, especially because most don't remember how I look despite being kinda famous due to my profession. This is probably the perks of having a pretty common, but handsome face."

"Hahaha! I'm starting to like you Ikari Shinji, at first I thought you would be just like your father, but it seems that I was wrong, now let's go before that thing starts moving again."

"Well... Thank you then, Katsuragi-san."

"You can just call me Misato."

"Then, please, just call me Shinji."

She nodded and went inside the car, Shinji followed her, and soon after they were back on the highway, speeding towards Tokyo-3 main district.

After some time, someone called her on some sort of big mobile phone that was attached to the middle of the car, it was a model that could be recharged without using a cable thanks to the excess of energy produced by the car and the advanced recharging technology of this version of Earth, although they didn't have smartphones...

Thinking about that, Shinji suddenly had an idea that could make him rich enough to not have to work again for the rest of his life...

"Sure. Don't worry. Shinji's security is my top priority. Prepare a transportation line for us, line 1 is better." As she spoke, Shinji looked at her from the corner of her eyes, while sitting with that dress, most of her legs remained uncovered, so he could pretty much see 65 to 70 percent of it, call him a virgin if you'd like to, but it was his first time having such contact with a woman, this sexual part of him was never as stimulated as it was being now, so he couldn't help himself but gulp and take some occasional looks at her.

'Damn... She is really beautiful... And I feel like a creepy stalker... Ahh.'

"Yes, I'm taking all responsibility for him, after all, it was my idea to go fetch him personally, bye."

As soon as she hung up the big mobile phone, her expression turned slightly sour, and Shinji had no idea what was going on in her mind. What he did know, however, was that she suddenly grabbed the chest area of her dress and pulled it slightly, making him see so much of her breasts that if she pulled just a little bit more he would manage to see her nipples.

Shocked by this, his nose became hot and he felt a liquid coming out of it, startled by this he brought his hand to it and was surprised seeing that it was a nosebleed.

"Misato-san..."

"Uh? Did you call me?" She turned to look at him with an innocent expression on her face.

Shinji frowned as he held his nose to prevent more blood from coming out of it and said. "Please stop pulling your dress, my nose thanks you..."

Hearing this she looked at his hand and saw it was a little bit stained with blood and started laughing.

"Hahaha! How could I have forgotten that you're a young man filled with hormones? You know, I don't blame you, if I was a boy sitting next to such a beautiful woman like me, I would also have some trouble controlling myself. Hahaha!" She gave him big smile as she laughed childishly, making Shinji frown and blush at the same time, it was his first time being teased like that, and he was a little bit annoyed by her personality.

"You're really childish, aren't you?"

Hearing this it was Misato's turn to frown, to vent up her frustration she suddenly started spinning the car's steering wheel, making it drift left and right while they entered a tunnel, making Shinji's face pale as he held on to the car's dashboard.

At that moment, the system activated on its own, every time this happened was because a new mission had been added to the recommended list, focusing on the quest menu, he read the new mission and gasped in the process.
