Two of the EVAs leg froze from Crystal's water, while the talismans lasers were deflected from the energy shield.

Sama grabbed a small, disc-shaped metal device from one of his pockets. All along the rim of the disc were blinking lights, and Sama ran his finger over a few, causing a high-pitched beeping noise.

Sama ran and tossed the disc like a frisbee – it smashed against one of the non-frozen legs of the EVA and exploded, sending flames and smoke into the air. When the smoke cleared, there wasn't a single scratch on the robot.

“IDIOT!” Azula yelled, and she shot a fireball at Sama – and then fireballs at Jade, Crystal and Ben!

[Los Angeles]

Rica could see the pain on Melanie's face. She looked upset at the story... he didn't blame her. He had left out some of the worst details.

“... Yes. I was scared every time.” Rica frowned, looking down at her. “Every time they killed me... I was terrified... and then, after a while... the pain was so bad... I started to wish I would stay dead.”

He frowned. “These days... it's been so many years... the pain doesn't even phase me anymore, unless it's really terrible.”

He frowned to Melanie. “... Melanie, you are so lucky you never had to go through NERV. I'm so glad that you were spared that.”

[Zegema]

“... Who said I'm going to let them look at me?” Asuka sat rigidly, uncomfortable.

[New Marais]

“... There are other ways.”

Doctor Strange had appeared, walking over to the group. “Sorry I missed the fight with Kessler. I thought my time could be spent better. I've analyzed some of the people who were transformed into monsters.”

He held out a paper to Shepherd. “... Ultraviolet lights seem to be painful to the monsters. It hurts them. Burns their skin. Get me a line to whomever is in charge of the response here. I believe we could jury-rig some basic equipment you'd find on any military vessel into an UV-beam. Spray the city with that, you'll drive the monsters out, while the people who didn't turn into beasts will be unharmed.”

Didymus paused.

"...no one. If we respected each other more, maybe...you know, now that I think about it, it's kind of sappy. And they probably wouldn't learn a thing anyway."

He sighed, and munched on the chocolate.

"Forget I mentioned it. So, what's on TV?"

New Marias

"I don't know who you are, but that would only deal with part of the problem." Shepherd said.

"Killing the monsters is only one part of the task here. The next part is killing the PEOPLE who are now acting like monsters, or otherwise getting them to back down. This idea can certainly save us time and lives, but the Guardians are still going to have to show up in force."

He paused.

"With that said, again, this idea would certainly help. Who are you, anyway?"

Strange paused, raising an eyebrow.

“... You do not need to kill the people. One doesn't simply shoot every criminal on the street. There are ways to contain the people. Those are attack and fight back can certainly be stopped by lethal means, but you have to recall that these people are terrified. They can be stopped through non-lethal means.”

He then adjusted his collar. “My name is Stephen Strange. I'm a surgeon from New York City.” All of that was technically true. “Now, will you please contact the correct people for me, so I can talk them through how to retrofit a spotlight into a UV ray? It's a complex situation.”

[Zegema]

Asuka shook her head.

“... I just don't like the idea of being poked and prodded by some scientist. That's happened a lot in my life, you know?”

Shepherd paused.

"Not everyone here is a saint who's just reacting to being scared-whether by lethal means or otherwise, we stopped a number of people-"supers" or otherwise-who were GLEEFULLY taking advantage of the situation and engaging in all manner of depravity on our way here. Can they be stopped by non-lethal means? In many cases, yes. Hopefully there will be minimal loss of life when the Guardians arrive. Hopefully they stand down. But this situation won't be resolved with happy-rays and sunshine beams-despite the presence of UV rays-make no mistake."

He pressed a few buttons on his PDA.

"You're speaking with our intel officer, Captain Katsuragi. Captain, I've got a man on the line down here who proposes a manner by which we can deal with the monsters down here efficiently...may still want to deploy the Guardians in the meantime, though."


Zegema

Didymus paused.

"Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Sorry I brought it up, again, forget I said anything about it."

Los Angeles

Melanie stayed quiet, trying to imagine the man who seemed so big and strong and brave as a boy not much older than she or Galv, sitting in a room fearing being killed over and over. She wondered what Galv would do in that situation. or even worse herself.

"Why did you come to NERV in the first place?" Melanie asked, not understanding it was a bad topic to touch upon. It wasn't that Melanie lacked tact like her mother, it was that she had no clue where that stopping point for questions was. "Why didn't your mom and dad look for you?"



New Marais

"Oh no you don't!" Crystal exclaimed with a grin, jumping in front of the group and waving her hands around. This sent a giant ball of water towards Azula, extingushing the fireballs and leaving a thick cloud of steam in it's wake.

"You're not gonna get me with fire!"

Rica frowned. Melanie had no idea what she was really asking. But he was glad about that.

“... My father... didn't want children. He sold me to NERV. I thought it had been just for money, but...”

He recalled his father transforming into a giant monster and trying to kill them... and possessing his body to murder Galv's mother...

“... Apparently there was more he got out of it. My father decided it was a lot better to get rich, and get powers, than to have a son.”

Rica's dad is a worse parent than Kanna.

[New Marais]

Azula frowned at Crystal as she blasted the fireball into steam. She aimed the second lance and sent a thunderbolt at Crystal.

“Then I'll get you with thunder!”

Sama frowned, and ran to help – but a fireball hit the ground between them, stopping him from reaching her.

[...]

“... Do not take that attitude with me.” Strange said in a rather dark voice. “I am no fool, Shepherd. There will be wide-spread loss of life, and many people will have to die. However, if you come into this with the attitude that killing is the first step, you will be escalating an already bad situation.”

“I've have shown you respect. You will show me the same. Ultraviolet rays will stop the monsters. As for the others, I'm sure many will die... but even the violent ones, if you can stop them through non-lethal means, you have a responsibility to do so. You are the military, Shepherd. Your responsibility is to protect these people, even from themselves.”

He took the PDA.

“Captain Katsuragi. My name is Stephen Strange. I will transmit to you a blueprint for transforming simple spotlights into ultraviolet beams. You can use them to stop these monsters.”

[Zegema]

Asuka sighed, and leaned back.

“It's fine... actually, I guess it wouldn't be terrible to talk about it...”

Melanie bit her lip. She had a bad feeling this was the wrong thing to ask. Once again she found herself imagining the man before (the same man she resented so much for being a part of her mother and brother's life) as some little kid, being passed off to a bunch of strangers simply because his father didn't care.

She wondered if her own mother came on the same set of circumstances...She had never heard anything of her own grandparents. It had always been just Kanna and Jason.

She the blinked going back to something Rica mentioned.

"You and my momma spent a lot of time together didn't you"

No. Not like that. Melanie still thinks quality time is spent playing Go-fish.

New Marais

Crystal REALLY should have expected Azula's next attack, but she didn't. The girl payed for it with her hands, suddenly being used a wet conductors for Azula's electricity.

With a yelp the girl was thrown back, landing on the ground with a thud.

-New Marais-

“Jade!” Ben yelled, looking down at the girl, “Throw me the Ox!”

Way Big + Super strength Ox Talisman = Major kick butt.

He needed to take down this robot!



Cole shook his head, then made his way to the door.

“I'm heading to the surface, to see what I can do,” Cole said, waving his hand, “If you need my help...well, shouldn't be too hard to find me.”

He paused, looking to Kuo and Nix, “Either of you two want to help out?”

-Los Angeles-

Galv was quiet again, frowning. How to put this delicately...

“Melanie and I...met someone...” Galv said, “She...had my dad's power...and...one of yours...”

Rica tensed up a bit. He knew Melanie did not like to think about his past relationship with Kanna... and he didn't think it wise to speak about that. Still, if she was curious... he had already told her about the horrific and terrifying genetic augmentation.

“... Yes. Kanna and I were very close at NERV. In some ways, we were a lot like you and Galv are now.”

That's probably the last thing she EVER wanted to hear, Jackson.

[New Marais]

“Crystal!” Sama yelled, and he frowned, rushing around the fireball and running over to her. He dropped down to his knees next to her and frowned. “Are you okay? Hey, talk to me?”

[…]

“Oh no you don't!” Azula shouted, shooting a fireball at Jade!

Kanna blinked....And then cursed, knowing exactly who Galv and Melanie must have come across.

"Dammit....That girl is nothing" she said quietly, looking to the boy. "She was some sort of experiment, a clone of our powers. Nothing else."

Kanna was totally unaware of what Melanie and Galv had been told.

[...]

Melanie couldn't help but to wrinkle her nose. "My mom is nothing like me."

She was polite enough not to say 'and Galv is nothing like you'

"Did she ever tell you why she joined NERV?" she asked

New Marais

Crystal groaned as Sama came over and helped her sit up. It took her a moment to gather herself but eventually she did.

"Ouch...." she muttered, looking down to her palms. The were red and raw, but she would worrying about healing that after the fight.

Jade meanwhile focused on fighting Azula, now having to dodge the fireballs that Azula was throwing without Crystal's help. "Oh no you don't!" she yelled, squeezing the rooster and floating up.

"We're responsible to all people." Shepherd said.

"The general needs to get his men home safely, too. We can't just go in with stun-rays and nonlethal fighting techniques all the time-that will lead to unnecessary loss of life as well. I have, and the Guardians have, every intent of saving as many lives as possible, but going into this with an attitude that this isn't going to be a messy crackdown will only cause more people to die than necessary. I do my best to consider all aspects and decide on the best situation-as we all do. I understand your concerns and apologize for any offense, but I ask that you in turn trust that we really do have the best interests of everyone in mind."

"Do you two need to be separated?" Misato's voice from the comms unit. "...I'm getting the schematics. UV rays can be effective against many targets, are these monsters special in that way?" she asked.

Zegema

Didymus paused, chuckling.

"Well, I hope you know that my ears are always open to you..."

Rica laughed aloud, and nodded to Melanie.

“... She... ran away from her parents.” Rica said, aware of the irony given Melanie's frequent habit of running away from home. “She was a rebellious kid who got caught up in NERV.”

Melanie you are just like your mom. (Be afraid, Galv.)

[New Marais]

Sama frowned as he saw the burns on Crystal's hands. “Geez, we need to get you somewhere safe--”

There was a massive explosion from a lightning bolt just behind them.

“... Then again, I don't think safe is something we'll find much of here. Can you stand?”

[…]

Azula, meanwhile, was still blasting at Jade, trying to keep her from helping Ben get stronger!

[…]

Strange ignored Shepherd, and looked to the PDA.

“Something about the monster's skin makes them hypersensitive to UV lights. I haven't had enough time to determine why, but I have determined it happens. Their skin burns and they feel incredibly pain from the UV lights. It will cause them to flee, without harming anyone else. Quite a bit more effective than simply dropping bombs... especially since the big ones don't seem to react to bullets.”

[Zegema]

Asuka nodded, but said nothing for a moment. Instead she shoveled some chocolate into her mouth.

"...this could be very useful. Thank you." Misato's voice said.

"In the meantime, we've got a prisoner to transport...and we should look over the building. If this is truly our man, then we can give the go-ahead signal to the guardians." Shepherd added.

Zegema

Didymus simply paused, and waited, looking up as she consumed chocolates larger than he was.

...her beauty is magnified at my scale...you were wrong, Jonathan Swift...

Way Big moved his hand, whacking away the fireballs, staring at the EVA.

“...Maybe bigger isn't better...” Ben thought to himself, then pressed the Ultimatrix symbol to his chest.

Upgrade!” Ben declared, then shot forward, attempting to cover over the EVA, and control it!



Cole was already up on the surface, looking around, pulling out his Plumber's Badge, ready to help who he could.

-Los Angeles-

Galv frowned some more.

“She...she said that...ummm...” Galv wasn't sure what to say, “She said that...you and...my dad...had your...memories changed, or erased, or something...”

This conversation was incredibly awkward.

Of course, if Galv's dad was here, he'd be able to clear things up. Samuel hadn't joined NERV until after Kanna left it...

“You mean, Kessler?” Kuo asked, moving over towards Shepherd. “We should be careful in transporting him. We have no idea why he surrendered so easily... he might be planning something. Even if he is unconscious, we need to be on our toes.”

“Man, relax.” Nix shook her head. “The guy is asleep. What could he do?”

[…]

As Upgrade started trying to take control of the EVA, Azula just smirked.

“Go ahead and try it, Benny. You can't. You think an EVA is just a machine? HAH!”

Sama looked up and saw what was happening and he turned pale. He grabbed his Plumbers badge and quickly called Ben.

“BEN, STOP! EVAs can't be controlled like that... you do NOT want to tap into that thing...”

If/when Ben continued to try to control EVA-5, he would hear a faint sound that slowly got louder... screams of terror, and cried of pain... echoing from the EVA's controls.

[Zegema]

“... You do remember I can hear what you're thinking, right?” Asuka raised an eyebrow.
