Well sorry for the delayed release if anyone was waiting, wasn't really in the right mind set for writing for a while but hopefully I'll do chapter 6 before to long, until then have chapter 5, sorry its not that long.
This hasn't been proof read by anyone other than me so ignore the probably copious amount of grammar and spelling mistakes.
Any constructive reviews would be nice but other than that enjoy :)
James held himself horizontal for a few more seconds before swapping arms and lifting himself for 10 quick reps before stopping to hold himself still again, he was in this position when Asuka opened his unlocked door.
"Wha-what are you-WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING YOU PERVERT!?" She yelled at him before quickly spinning around.
Tilting his head in confusion James held his position for a few more seconds then dropped to the floor.
Hearing the thump of his landing Asuka turned around only to quickly avert her gaze to some point above his right shoulder.
"We're wanted at NERV, some sync test thing. Now." Asuka said quickly before spinning on her heel and walking out.
Shaking himself to remove most of the excess sweat James grimaced before grabbing a towel and a shirt and running out after Asuka.
"You stink." The first words out of Asuka's mouth after James climbed into the NERV car were accompanied by a sneer.
"Yeah well, that happens when you don't have time for a shower." James replied with an equal sneer.
"Look I didn't want to be the person to drag your ugly arse to work." Asuka almost snarled at him.
"Then why the fuck are you here?" James growled back slowly.
"Pilot cooperation." Asuka said after shifting away slightly and looking out the window.
James almost remembered the route they took to get to the locker rooms, walking through the door into the mens room he noticed Shinji three quarters of the way into his plug suit with his SDAT in his ears.
Ignoring him he set about getting into his own.
"Oh Shit, I didn't hear you come in James." Shinji's voice clearly showed his fright.
James turned and sneered at him before quickly climbing into his plug suit and walking out quickly.
When James arrived at the Eva hangars Rei was the only one ready and waiting.
Shaking himself loose he began to stretch out the muscles that had firmed up after his interrupted work out.
He had just started on his arms when Shinji arrived, he'd been finished for a good five minutes before Asuka arrived.
A nameless hangar worker ushered them all into their respective entry plugs, sitting in darkness James couldn't help a small excited smile twist his mouth as he thought of the power that was soon going to be under his control.
"Ughh these stupid tests are so boring, we don't even get to pilot." Asuka's loud complaining voice came through the intercom grating on James's ears.
"Well they have to make sure we can still sync properly." Shinji replied meekly.
"Idiot." Was Asuka's only reply.
"Enough, we're starting with James." Ritsuko said calmly.
James grinned openly as he felt the sync begin, he felt the immense power slowly starting to enter him like a light hum in his mind, his excitement grew more and more as the hum grew louder but as always it stopped disappointingly quiet.
"Better James, but not by much." Ritsuko informed him almost casually.
Growling James slammed his fist into the panel in front of him. After several seconds he noticed the hum had grown slightly louder but even now it was fading as his anger dimmed.
Contemplating the implications he was quiet through the syncing of the other three. He only started to pay attention to his surroundings when what sounded like several hundred alarms all went off at once.
"What's happening?" Asuka demanded.
"Angel approaching, stay in your Eva." Misato's words were hurried as the entirety of NERV HQ started to move.
Several minutes later James was "outside" his hands uncomfortably curved around the unfamiliar grip of a Pallet Rifle. The fingers of his Eva flexed slowly, his sync rate still low. Looking down he reassured himself his two massive axes were still embedded in the ground within easy reach.
"It's broken through!" A frightened voice yelled through the intercom.
Next to James Unit-02 shifted position slightly.
"Don't screw this up James." Asuka warned.
"Heh, and who killed the last one?" James retorted.
Asuka remained silent for the last few seconds before the Angel came into view.
All four Pallet Rifles fired sent a storm of bullets in the Angels direction, two of them significantly more accurate than the others.
"Pallet Rifles ineffective." A voice informed them of the obvious as the smoke cleared to reveal a completely unharmed Angel.
Asuka dropped her Pallet Rifles and reached for two larger guns at her feet.
"This is stupid." James muttered before throwing his rifles to either side and gripping the long handles of his axes.
"James what are you doing?" Misato's voice was angry.
"Doing what it takes." James said with a savage grin as he heard the increase in the hums volume he'd been looking for.
"Asuka, keep it distracted." James said calmly before sprinting to the side to flank it.
"Fucking idiot, what do you think I'm doing!?" Asuka yelled already firing rockets at the seemingly untouchable Angel.
James felt his sync rate increase with every step until Mächtige Zuschlag was moving as fluidly as he would be. Glancing to the side he noticed Asuka switch to a third pair of guns, thinking now a good a time as any he changed course and began to charge directly at the floating enemy.
Before he made it a flat white "arm" shot out of the Angel and neatly sliced off one of Unit-02's arms.
Asuka's scream of pain tore through the intercom quickly followed by another as her other arm went through the agony of being sliced off.
Increasing his speed James made it just in time to make a wild swing upward to slice through the arm that would have sliced off something more necessary to life.
Because of his increased speed his momentum carried him past the Angel the Eva's massive feet tearing huge trenches in the ground.
Regaining his balance charged again but by this time the Angel had recovered enough to send what was left of its arms into Mächtige's chest. James roared transforming the pain into anger as he'd been taught to do as he slammed into the Angel, dropping his axes as they were useless this close he started punching and kicking any part of the Angel he could reach his fury only matched by the destruction that had already been caused.
Grabbing onto the closest thing he could find to Angels face he began to pull as the Angels arms whipped back and forth repeatedly punching through his torso. Eventually the pain began to beat his anger and James felt the strength in his Eva's arms begin to weaken, growling angrily he opened his jaws and clamped them over the Angels face. With his arms now free he reached to either side and grabbed the Angels arms at the base, ignoring how easily the cut through the armour and into flesh James placed one massive foot on the Angels chest and propelled himself backwards partially tearing off the Angels face and ripping its arms completely off.
Throwing the tattered remains down James took a step forward only to fall to one knee, looking down he saw the multitude of neat surgical cuts in both his and his Eva torso.
Seeing a red glow he looked up to see the Angels somewhat chewed face glowing brightly.
"Shit." Was all James was able to mutter before his entire Eva was blown backwards by the force of the laser.
