So, the only thing that it could do was to move in, which did decisively, and quickly.
Unfortunately, that might have been the wrong choice.
"It's attacking!" Ritsuko called out.
Ranma snorted. "Kinda obvious, ain't it?"
"Well then, DO SOMETHING!"
"Sure will. Man, some girls don't change when they get older. Guess it hasta do with 'that time of the month' whatever that is...."
Everyone looked over at the faux blonde scientist.
She realized that and glared right back at them. "I'm not going through PMS!"
"Right...." Misato murmured. "Ranma?"
"I'm on it," he replied, and let himself smirk.
"I wonder what he's going to do...." Maya whispered... just as Unit-01 began to move.
As the Angel reached it, the Evangelion ducked down, and dashed out of the way so fast that it barely registered before it was done. Then the giant machine moved quickly about, darting around like some sort of hummingbird, though this one was many stories tall. It ran vaguely in a half loop that brought it to a direction towards the side of its opponent.
But the Angel was able to turn from all the delays Ranma's occasional hiding brought, and when saw that he was coming, at it with a clear intent of not stopping, it did the only thing that it could do.
The blast never even came close to the unit, as he flitted out the way, and let it land somewhere off behind him, causing a small explosion where it hit. Even as the Angel tried to hit him again and again, he kept on dodging it, and managed to get out of the way so that it looked like he was almost teleporting from spot to spot. And the entire time the Evangelion got closer and closer, until it was crouching just in front of the Angel.
That was when the Angel tried to send an energy spike right at its opponent. But the arm was shoved away before any arm could be done, and the Angel had to move backward to avoid the uppercut follow up. Doing so didn't help it though, as the blow was a diversion, and the purple bio-mechanical fighter used one leg to sweep both of the Angel's legs, which set it totally off balance. After that came a simple series of punches that wouldn't have been all that painful alone, but in a group set the Angel reeling with only the ability to bring up a shield being available to it.
"Damn it!" Ranma barked. "Ain't anythin' gonna get in ta this thing?!"
"It has an AT field! You have one too, and you have to use the energy from that to take it down!" Misato yelled right back at him.
"Gotcha!" he replied, and had his Evangelion shove the Angel away from itself. However, he wasn't retreating, as the unit made a tight fist, and pulled the arm back just a bit until the Angel's chest was right in sight. Right then, he sent a punch rocketing right at the center of the torso, and let it slam right at the field. This time it didn't just cause the shield to sputter though, as the fist began to burrow right through the energy field like a steel spike into stone.
And then it got through, sending the giant creature flying backwards from the force of it.
"Never thought I'd feel sorry for a kaiju," said Aoba.
"IT'S NOT A KAIJU!" growled Doctor Akagi.
Not that the creature in question was in good enough shape to worry about naming distinctions. Instead, it was too busy being hit again, this time without any defense from the open handed blows that the Evangelion landed on its chest. Then there was a snap kick, a knee hit, and a double punch, all to the red orb, with cracks forming on the surface.
With a twisting shove, the Angel went flying upwards, at which time the giant robot leapt up into the air, and did a spin kick that launched the Angel far away. Landing without even so much of a glance backwards, the Evangelion stood there as if it were waiting for something. It didn't have to wait for long.
As soon as the Angel crashed down, it blew up with a cross shaped explosion marking its final landing spot.
"If you're gonna do it, do it with style," Ranma commented.
"Okay, I'm impressed," Misato murmured.
Ritsuko pressed her lips together. "It's just too strange."
"There is that, but he did the job. And did it well, I might add."
"But this shouldn't be happening! Even his initial synchronization rate isn't right!"
"How so?" the Operations director asked.
"It's fifty and a half percent!"
"Wow. Fifty point five percent. Pretty good, especially, right?"
"No!" the scientist snapped.
"Okay, unless there's a problem with using decimal places...."
"That's just it!"
Misato blinked at her old college roommate. "You've lost me there."
"It was displaying a fraction!"
"Isn't that what decimals are?"
"Yes, but it wasn't in decimals!" the fake blonde complained. "It read 'one' slash 'two'!"
"Weird. But computers can show that, right?"
"You're enjoying this, aren't you?"
"What makes you say that?" Misato asked with 'innocence' that was clearly feigned, while:
