Genesis 1:03 - Spawned

 {( Another note to all, speech with "* at the beginning and end is translated German. It's only
 used if you need to understand what's being said, though. )}

 The command staff of NERV looked at Matt, many wondering who he was, and more
 importantly, how he had managed to do what he'd just done. Many got a slight shock when both he
 and Unit-04 turned to look to the left.
    " They're here." He stated simply, before the main visual communication feed broke and Eva-04
 began limping in the direction of the rifle. Fuyutski turned to Gendo.
    " The committee will surely notice this pilot and his intrusion. How do you intend to cover it up until
 we are ready?" He asked quietly. Gendo looked onward, ignoring Fuyutski for a moment.
    " That answer will come in time." He replied. On the command deck, Misato, who was completely
 oblivious to Fuyutski and Gendo's talk, { Although, so was everybody else } felt dazed.
    " Wha........Who...........How.......?" Misato stammered, before trailing of weakly. The sound only
 link of the communications began playing something else from Unit-04.
    " Stupid piece of.......Limping like a............useless friggin'........" The quiet mumblings went, before
 Unit-04 stopped. It's hip wound began bubbling and pulsating as the Unit's own S² core began
 regenerating the flesh of the wound, until it became solid flesh once more, only exposed by the lack of
 armour. The unit hopped and leant on it a bit, as if to test it's stability, before moving at a much faster
 pace to where firstly the rifle, and then, on obtaining that, to where Unit's 05 and 06 were.
    " I don't believe this. Scumboy managed to take down something single handedly." Asuka grumbled.
 ' Hang on....How come he's able to pilot that thing at all....?' she thought to herself.
    "* Hey! Matt you piece of Scum!*" Asuka opened the comm link.
    "* Yes, oh high and mighty slut?*" Matt replied, smirking. Asuka shot him an angry look.
    "* How can you pilot an Eva?*" Asuka asked.
    "* If you really wanna know, you can meet me afterwards and I'll show you how and why...*" Matt
 replied, his smirk fading slightly
    " You two wanna stop blabbering in German and help us?" Toji's face appeared on a holo-screen in
 each entry plug.
    " Yeah, yeah..." Matt said, cutting all communication. Eva-04 leapt towards its opposition, landing
 close to Unit-05. From his position he could see Unit's 01 and 03 fighting the opposing Eva-06. He
 turned towards Unit-05, and broke into a run. Unit-05 raised it's fist once Unit-04 was close, and Matt
 couldn't stop himself.

 Unit-04 smashed headfirst into  Unit-05's fist, sending the Eva crashing onto the floor. Unit-04
 stood up as soon as it stopped moving through the air. It's pilot looked on, eyes gleaming, and
 breathing slightly ragged. Without warning, both he and the Eva he was piloting opened their mouths,
 and unleashed a furious scream. A scream filled with anger and rage, it seemed to chill the blood of all
 those who heard it. The Evangelion leapt forward, eyes a bright furious red, mouth opened and
 snarling, and all sense of self preservation gone.

 Unit-04 struck Unit-05 with powerful force, punching it twice in the head, and then kicking the
 opposing Unit in the chest. Eva-05 recoiled under the force and smashed into the building behind it, it's
 armour cracking and breaking as the Unit hit the building. Unit-04 leapt after the Unit, and as Eva-05
 attempted to push itself away from the building, Unit-04 smashed into it, driving it through the building
 and onto the floor. Once Unit-05 was down, Unit-04 grabbed it in a headlock. Unit-05 clawed
 helplessly at Unit-04's legs and torso as Unit-04 mercilessly pounded the head of it's opposer with it's
 free fist. Unit-05 didn't have mush time to react though. The Progressive sword, held by Unit-02, sliced
 down through it's chest, and was twisted and ripped free of it's position through Unit-05's side.
 Unit-04 let go as Unit-02 began mercilessly hacking and slashing. Unit-04 activated it's pistol and took
 a clear aimed shot whenever the opportunity arrived. Soon the Eva was nothing more than a bloody
 pulp, it's fake lance nearby it's remains. Unit-04 put its pistol back in its shoulder holster and grabbed
 the lance. Eva's 02 and 04 prepared to help with Eva-06, but as soon as they turned to look at it,
 Eva-03' slammed the other fake Lance through it's S2 core, destroying it. It collapsed in a heap.
 Eva-04, it's anger now extinguished, fell on to one knee, the eyes dimming to black.

 The door to the darkened isolation room opened, and Misato walked in. Matt Blake sat in the
 centre of the room, his hands handcuffed together. He idly scratched his head as Misato walked over,
 her footsteps echoing hollowly.
    " When do I get my phone call?" Matt asked, without looking up from the floor.
    " We are an exception to normal laws. You don't get one if we don't want you to have one." Misato
 replied.
    " So you intend to leave me here?" Matt looked up at Misato, an evil glint in his red eyes.
    " Until we decide what to do with you." Misato replied, her clam demeanor hiding the fear the eyes
 instilled.
    " How did I break any laws anyway?"
    " Unauthorized entry of top secret Military equipment. Incidentally, how do you know how to pilot
 the Eva?"
    " Its a long story."
    " I'm listening."
    " Maybe so, but I'm not telling." Matt looked back at the floor, then leant back against the wall,
 closing his eyes. " Good night major." He said. Misato made a hmmpf sound, and left.

 Elsewhere in the base, Ritsuko and Gendo sat in his darkened office, discussing matters
 concerning the Cyclone Children.
    " What shall we do about the first Cyclone child? " Ritsuko asked.
    " We'll have him stay there for a couple of days, let the major go through the legal technicalities. Then
 we'll release him." Gendo replied, his mouth covered by his hands. Ritsuko nodded, and pulled out a
 couple of papers from a small package. She handed them to the commander.
    " On the subject of the Cyclone Children, the second and third children seemed to have mastered a
 way to retract the wings, much in the same way their Eva's and the Mass Production Eva's were
 designed to." Gendo picked up the file, and looked at it. It confirmed what Ritsuko had said, but in
 greater detail. " This means we can send the third up top." Ritsuko concluded.
    " The fourth?" Gendo asked, glancing over some photographs.
    " He can't do the same. The arms don't have the right genetic structure for it. After all, the four
 armed Eva wasn't intended in the first place. He'll have to stay in the training centre until we can think
 of something to do with him." Ritsuko explained. Gendo nodded, placing the papers back in the file.
    " I see." Gendo said.
    " What do you intend to do with Unit-04?" Ritsuko asked.
    " Rei will pilot it for the moment."
    " I believe we have a suitable candidate from section 707 that could pilot it." Ritsuko suggested.
    " Then make it so." Gendo replied.

  *   *   *   *

 The school bells rang sharply, signaling the end of the lunchtime break. The children slowly
 made their way back to their classrooms. In classroom 2-A, rather than the loud arguing of Asuka and
 Matt, there was only a small hubbub of noise. Even the teacher noticed how much quieter it was, as he
 walked into the room. He was followed by a boy, roughly 15. He was fairly tall, and had red eyes and
 ' a big puff of brown curly stuff that was supposed to be hair' { That's the description I got! :_: }. He
 wore a standard white shirt and black trousers, and carried a small black and yellow backpack with
 him.  He walked to the front of the class, just behind the teacher. Mels face seemed to light up in
 recognition.
    " Students. A transfer student, from Australia, is joining us today."
    " Hi. I'm Ben Smith. Pleased to meet ya!" He said, his accent colouring the Japanese slightly. He
 gave a slight wave.
    " Please take a seat, and we can begin." The teacher said. Ben nodded, and took a seat close to
 Mel.
    "[ Hey there. ]" He said. She turned to him.
    "[ Hi. ]" She replied, smiling slightly.
    "[ Where's Matt? I thought he'd be here. ]" Ben asked, after taking a quick look around.
    "[ He disobeyed the undercover order, and piloted Eva-00' in the last battle. He's down in isolation
. ]" Mel replied.
    "[ I see. ]" Ben turned this over in his mind, clicking his tongue a couple of times. "[ When do they
 intend on releasing him? ]"
    "[ They'll probably give it a couple of days., an let him out when they first scramble us. ]" Mel
 replied.
   "[ Oh. ]" Ben replied. He stared blankly out the window for a while, before the teachers drone about
 Second Impact forced him to take a little snooze.

 Ritsuko sat in her office, typing away at a multitude of reports and other work. Misato walked
 in, rapping her knuckles on the door frame as she did so.
    " Hi there." Misato said. Ritsuko, without turning around, replied:
    " Hello Misato." Misato walked calmly over, coffee cup in hand, and stood next to Ritsuko.
    " What're we gonna do about Unit-04?" Misato asked, now leaning against Ritsuko's desk.
    "We've got an activation test scheduled for it. We'll be using the sixth as the test pilot" Ritsuko said.
    " The sixth? The sixth child's been found?!" Misato asked, surprised.
    " Yesterday." Ritsuko replied Misato narrowed her eyes. ' Yet another lie' She thought.
    " Who?" She asked, her voice partially betraying her distrust about the matter. Ritsuko made a small
 'hmm' sound, and pushed a few buttons. The child's records, as held by NERV, held up on screen.
    " I see." Misato said. " Hopefully, this shouldn't affect the others performance."
    " Good. We can't afford to have another 'forth child' incident." Ritsuko added.

  *   *   *   *

 The Skynyn warmasters were 'sat' around their 'planning room', discussing the schematics of
 their latest weapon.
    " Surely this system is not necessary." One of them pointed out, though the true speech would've
 sounded garbled and distorted, a high pitch screech that hurt the ears.
    "  It must be done." Another replied, in the same language. The 3D wire-frame floating in the centre
 of the 'table' zoomed in on the cockpit section.
    " We cannot afford to lose pilots unnecessarily at this time." The first stated.
    " Yet we also cannot allow the terrans to get a grip on who we are or why we attack them." Another
 interjected
    " A Genetic sample cannot reveal why we attack them. It can only give them an idea of who we are."
 The second pointed out.
    " Perhaps, perhaps not. We cannot judge the terrans by face value. We must proceed with caution."
 Another said.
    " Agreed. But, do not waste out best pilots on these machines, especially if this is only a recon
 mission. The Terran's 'Evangelion' creatures surpass our own at this time. We must be wary." The
 Skynyn spat out the word Evangelion with disgust.
     " Very well. Let the Unit's launch." One said, and the Skynyn left their war-room to begin
 preparations to begin their recon assault.

  *   *   *   *
 One of SEELE's black monoliths appeared, followed by another, and another, until the entire
 ring of black numbered monoliths appeared. The first one spoke.
    " NERV has become a dangerous threat to us and our plan."
    " The 'Cyclone' Evangelions seem to be our biggest threat." The 7th interjected.
    " True, but NERV in it's entirety is dangerous." The third commented.
    " Yet we cannot overlook that they defeated three of out Eva's in short succession, one of which is
 still in their possession." Another added.
    " Yes, but now two of theirs are damaged." The 15th said
    " Then, we should attack?" The 12th asked.
    " Not yet. We require time to prepare. We must find a way to remove the civilian element.." The first
 said. " And we cannot afford to lose the other X2 units yet." With that, the monoliths disappeared.

  *   *   *   *

 The door to the isolation room opened, and closed again shortly afterwards.
    " The Camera's are off. For the moment." Gendo said.
    " What do you want?" Matt asked, looking at Gendo.
    " Why did you disobey orders?" Gendo asked, not showing a trace of emotion.
    " Because you were gettin' you're asses kicked, and you haven't gotten my Eva out of fricken'
 cryo-status yet." Matt replied, his voice filled with contempt.
    " That is no reason to disobey orders." Gendo stated.
    " What? I'm not allowed to disobey a silence order to save you're sorry ass? Fine then, next time, I
 won't bother." Matt asked, agitated.
    " There won't be a next time." Gendo said. His glasses glinted in the minimal light.
    " Whadda ya mean, 'There won't be a next time'? You can't kick me, I'm already part of the Eva."
 Matt complained, getting angry.
    " The Eva is out of cryo-status." Gendo said, simply
    " Ohh.... I  get it. The Eva's out and you're gonna need me to 'rot' here for a couple of days for
 some realism. No problem." Matt relaxed against the wall. Gendo, having finished, left silently. The
 camera in the corner flickered back into life.

  *   *   *   *

 The alarm system throughout the Geofront blared into life, sirens wailing and alarm lights
 flashing. Misato stumbled onto the command deck.
    " What's going on?" She asked.
    " We just detected another target. Four, to be precise." Aoba replied.
    " Four?!" Misato asked.
    " Yes ma'am. They appeared about a kilometre from the coastline just now."
    " How many Eva's are ready?" She asked, turning to Hyuga.
    " Eva's 01 and 02 are ready. Eva unit's 00 and 03 are still in the repair bay." He said.
    " What about Eva-04?" Maya asked.
    " We can use it. Rei will pilot it." Ritsuko said. Maya nodded, turning to her microphone.
    " All pilots, standby by for Eva launch." She said.
    " All civilians and noncombatants evacuated." Hyuga said. " We're all ready to go." Misato nodded.

 Deep in the Geofront, three people sat in an unused office, one by a computer. The camera in
 the corner not functioning. The alarm was a distant blare in the distance.
    "[ They've started.]" One of the three occupants said. Her two male companions nodded.
    "[ D'ya think they'll need us?]" One of them asked. The other shrugged.
    "[ If they do, they'll send us all.]" He said. The monitor of the computer bleeped into life.
    "[ I've got a feed.]" The first said. The other two moved around the computer.

 " Due to the last battle inside the city, regarding the Eva-04 incident, our defense capability has
 been reduced to 40% of it's standard level. That's useless for combat operations, so we're going to
 have to intercept the targets before they make land." Misato explained to the pilots. " Eva unit's 01 and
 02 will close in and attack the targets at close range. Eva-04 and Rei will provide long range fire
 support with the Positron Cannon." She ordered. " Eva-03 will remain in reserve due to damage. It will
 only deployed as a final countermeasure." She added.
    " Roger!" The reply came.
    " Eva, Launch!" Misato ordered. The catapults holding Eva's 01, 02 and 04 sprung into action,
 bringing the three Eva's up near the waters edge. A selection of Eva weapon buildings opened, and
 Eva-2 grabbed a progressive axe, while Eva-01 grabbed a progressive sword. A floor compartment
 opened near Eva-04, and it took the positron cannon that came out, latching it onto the Eva's right
 shoulder. They stood in ready stances as the four traces crawled out of the sea, water dripping from the
 many spikes that adorned their bodies. The four were identical, pinky-purple six legged creatures, each
 leg ending with two barbed hooks. There were chitinous spikes across the back, and neck, leading to
 the head. The 'faces' of the monsters had no visible eyes, and several long tentacles, surrounded by a
 ring of teeth. There were no visible cores, and each of the creatures had a long tail, with a spiked end.
    " Mein Gott, they're ugly!" Asuka commented.
    " All right, move out!" Misato ordered. Eva-02 leapt forward, landing in a crouch, and springing
 back into the air. Lifting the axe up, Asuka was about to slice through one of the creatures, when
 another one leapt up, and hit her in mid flight. She crashed to the floor, the target landing nearby. It
 turned around, and three of the targets leapt on her.
    " Help!!" Asuka shouted. Rei shot the fourth target, which fell to the floor, bleeding a green ooze
 heavily from it's left side. Eva-01 ran up to Eva-02, attempted to hack away at the creatures. Two of
 them turned around, and leapt at the approaching Eva-01, pinning it, the third still on Asuka. Eva-02
 grabbed it by the tail, and swinging it over the Eva's head, flung it away. While the opposer was down,
 Eva-02 had the opportunity to stand, only to be attacked from behind by one of the targets on Eva-01.
 Eva-04 shot the target that had just stood after being flung, but a creature jumped on it.
    " Where'd that come from!" Misato asked. The camera's showed that the previously shot target had
 regenerated, showed by the green puddle of oozing blood on the floor near Unit-01, no longer spilling
 from the side of a creature. The creature that Rei had just shot leapt on Eva-01, helping it's counterpart. Landing it's two barbed hooks either side of the entry plug, the safety mechanism ejected
 the plug into the distance.
    " Get a recovery crew to Shinji, now!" Misato ordered. The two creatures, having immobilized their
 target, turned and split up, one going to Eva-02, the other to Eva-04. Gendo stood from behind his
 desk, unnoticed in the heat of battle.
    " Fuyutski, take the con." He said quietly, turning to the mini-lift nearby.
    " Going to get he backup?" Fuyutski asked, a slight joking tone in his voice. Gendo said nothing as he
 stood on the lift, which descended.

  *   *   *   *

 The door to the isolation room opened, and Matt Blake looked up at the person in the
 doorway. He smirked.
    " Its time, right?" He asked. The other person nodded in reply. Matt stood up, and walked over to
 the person in the doorway, who gave him the key to his handcuffs.
    " Get the others, and launch immediately." He said, before leaving. Matt's handcuffs clicked as the
 lock undid. Matt walked off down the corridor.

    "[ Geez, they're getting there asses kicked.]" One of the two males said. The door to the office
 opened, and the feed was quickly shut off. Matt Blake stood in the doorway, smiling.
    "[ I mighta known.]" He said. "[ C'mon, we're going.]" He added. The other three nodded, and
 followed him to one of the cage lifts.

  *   *   *   *

 Misato looked on in horror as the targets and Eva-02 struggled. Asuka was desperately trying
 to stop the enemy with her progressive knife, but the wounds it was inflicting were regenerating too
 quickly. Hyuga's station bleeped erratically.
    " Ma'am! We've got an unidentified Eva activation! Sector 4C!" Hyuga said, checking the sensors.
    " Four Eva traces confirmed!" Aoba added. Gendo walked silently off the mini-lift, which had just
 stopped at the command centre floor. He sat back in his seat.
    " Can we stop it?" Misato asked.
    " No ma'am, the codes aren't being accepted!" Maya said, pushing several buttons.
    " Ma'am! They've just activated catapults 7 through 11!" Hyuga said. Misato looked up at the
 screen as the Eva's emerged from the catapults, flying through the air and landing heavily on nearby
 ground.
 The first was very similar to Eva-01, though it was Emerald green. The head was sleeker, and
 the chin was longer. The ring around it's head was smaller, and was connected all the way around.
 From the two sections either side of the entry plug sprouted great bat like wings, the leathery inners a
 dull red in contrast to the emerald green of the main bone which connected them to the body.
 The second looked almost identical to Eva-00's original orange model, except that it was
 bulkier and had four arms, both sets mounted in shoulder positions, expanding the entire shoulder width
 immensely. The chest, legs and waist were also broader, and it stood a head taller than the other Evas.
 The third looked like Eva-04, except it was pure white rather than silver, and the crimson
 sections were a deep midnight blue. Two huge hawk-like wings sprouted from either side of the Entry
 plug section, unfurling as they did so.
 The fourth was completely different. It was slightly taller than the two winged Eva's, and was a
 deep crimson colour. The head was wolf-like, with a long, thin snout-like section. The back of the head
 had a large armoured section, divided into three spikes. The chest section and shoulders were like
 Eva-01's, and the arms were black with red sections, There were two small slits on either arm, by the
 wrist, but they went unnoticed to the command crew.
    "[ Lets go.]" The words floated over the comm channel, but nobody on the command crew ( At
 least, nobody who didn't already know what was going on ) spoke the language, so they were all still
 confused. The green winged Eva grabbed the red wolf-like Eva, and with a sprint start, flew into the air
 in the direction of the coast where Eva-02 and Eva-04 were fighting. The white Eva grabbed the
 orange Eva and followed suit.
    " Where are they going?!" Misato asked.
    " They're headed towards Eva's 02 and 04!" Hyuga shouted.
    " Asuka! Rei! You're about to have company!" Misato shouted. Neither replied, too preoccupied
 with the situation at hand. " It might be hostile!" She added.

 The Green Eva dropped it's red wolf-like passenger over Eva-02's position. It landed next to
 the Eva-02, and turned to face it. Eva-02 was on its back, lying on the floor, trying to beat off the two
 creatures on it. The green Eva landed next to the crimson one.
    " Help!" Asuka shouted again. The crimson Eva leapt across Eva-02, tackling one of the creatures in
 it's path, knocking them away. Eva-02 stood up, to see the other creature leaping towards it, claws
 aimed for the face.
  It never made it. The Green Eva, axe in hand, slashed across the gap, and the creature leapt
 onto the axe. The Green Eva swung the axe around and slammed the creature into the floor.

 Eva-04 rolled away from it's two attackers. It got onto one knee, several holes in it's chest
 bleeding. The two creatures turned for another leap.
 The first was crushed by the impact of the four-armed orange Eva. The Eva grabbed the
 creatures head, and ripped it from it's corpse, just  to certify it's opposers death. The other creature
 leapt sideways, avoiding the landing of the white hawk-like Eva, but the white Eva turned to the
 creature, and, opening it's right shoulder blade, fired a volley of spikes into the creature. As it
 attempted to recover, the white Eva leapt on it, landing on its back.
 The green Eva wrenched the axe from it's opposition, but before it could make another swing,
 the  creature disappeared in a green flash. The nearby white Eva wrenched the blue core from the body
 of the creature it had attacked, and dropped the core nearby. It kicked the dead creature.
 The wolf-like Eva extended two claws from either arm. It sliced the target with its left arm, and
 then stabbed the opposer with it's right set. Then, it's mouth opening, it grabbed the creatures head in
 it's sharp teeth, and wrenched the head section from the body. The creature died, and something inside
 the head exploded, melting it's inner sections. The wolf-like Eva dropped the head, and shut its mouth.

    " Now that, is a good way to kill something!" A voice floated across the comm channel. A video link
 to the orange four-armed Eva appeared on screen. The pilot had black hair, and four arms, with
 massive shoulders. He also had red eyes, and his orange neural transceivers stood out from his hair. His
 entry plug suit was also orange and black.
    " True, but I still like my way." The crimson Eva's video link opened, and showed Matt Blake,
 wearing crimson neural transceivers to match his crimson and black Entry plug suit.
    " That's because you're a bloodthirsty psycho." The green Eva's video link opened, showing Mel
 Smee, wearing green neural transceivers that were a lighter colour than her emerald green and black
 entry plug suit.
    " Well, that's Mat for ya!" The white Eva's video link opened, showing Ben smith, wearing white
 neural transceivers, and a white and black entry plug suit. Matt turned to face the bewildered bridge
 crew.
    " Oh, hi. This is my other job." He joked, smiling.

    " Well, what did we find?" The Skynyn were reconvened, but another of their kind stood among
 them.
    " They are more powerful in one on one combat, but we believe we can beat them in numbers." The
 newcomer said.
    " What did we lose?" One of the warmasters asked.
    " Three heirophants. Only two of the acidic systems worked." Another reported.
    " So now they have one of our dead to analyze? This is not good."

 The council of SEELE were grouped, their black monoliths seeming to gleam in the minimal
 light.
    " The 'Cyclone' Eva's are far more powerful than we thought." The 22nd said.
    " Yet, we cannot ignore the fact that those other creatures acted unlike Angels in every manner." The
 15th commented
    " Then we can assume that they are not Angels at all." The first said.
    " So what shall we do about it?" The 7th asked.
    " We will let NERV deal with them. We can use the time to upgrade our Eva's and create others.
 Our associate is in the process of obtaining the genetic upgrades required for us to create Eva's based
 on these 'cyclone' designs., we must bide our time carefully, while we still have it." The first replied.

Well, after months of depression and writers block ( Both oddly sured by four or five episodes of Sailor Moon ? ) I have finally got the third chapter of  Cyclone Project done.

I must say, the depression was caused when I found that my story was being MSTed, but I realizedthat I can at least find out hwre people think I went wrong and improve on it for other fanfictions. I've got another few in the pipeline. You probably won't see 'em for a while though :_:

Anyway, any comments, questions, flames, suggestions etc, mail me at Evander@McMail.com
