BLEEDING IN TO THE FIRE LIGHT

Christopher breathed in seeing silence fall up on the room this was not how he had hoped this would pan out and he didn't like it celebrities were meant to be shallow assholes right? So why were they not handing her over, granted he could just stroll over to her but he wanted to humiliate them all to get what he wanted. He paused eyeing them. "So you're all your willing to die for some red head you don't even know is that it?"

He tapped his bat on the table frankly he was curious. "Anyone want to explain why you're protecting her?" Nicolai stood up slowly seeing that Asuka was eyeing the door to their left and the shooters stationed there. "She's a pilot she protects this world and you are terrorist it is the world law that we do not negotiate with terrorists."

Christopher laughed as he eyed him. "Spoken like a true idealist Nicolai Gedda, no wonder all of Italy wants to blow on your dick." He raised the bat pointing it at him. "That's the bullshit answer now give me the real one." He watched as Ryo suddenly stood up. "She's over there stupid why don't you just take her!?"

Christopher eased himself up right on queue stupid little shit he moved towards him seeing his sister back away from him. He raised the bat putting it near the younger man's face as he eyed his sister Miki as he shook his head sadly. "Ah Miki your idiot brother talks what a surprise!"

He paused eyeing everyone else their faces a mix of anger of terror. "Just so you know this stupid little bastard is the reason I'm inside the room and the cameras are all dead hence no one can see what's going on in here and you're cut off from the outside world and all the alarms are off and your phones have no outside signal since we blocked them so send all you want your messages won't go anywhere!"

He paused. "Because someone who used to work for this little brat wants his head on a pike and we intend to deliver." He moved the bat down suddenly ramming it full force between Ryo's legs ignoring his scream of pain. "You see this little bastard has in fact got a list as long as my arm of people he has sexually harassed men and women who hate his guts and people who are tired of cleaning up his mess."

He watched as he stumbled back. "So now boys and girls we are going to show you the price of your disobedience!" Miki moved forward only for a gun to appear in front of her face. "Wait my brother is a moron and a jackass but he doesn't deserve this."

Christopher smirked. "Would you like to take his place Miki? I mean you shouldn't feel bad it's not your fault he screws up aren't you tired of cleaning it all up, don't you think you deserve better?" He paused. "Didn't he steal your last boyfriend the professional boxer you really liked for some one night stand so he could brag about it? He's cruel, privileged and self centered and he takes things from you and he needs to be taught a lesson and you know it."

He watched as she turned away. "I'm on your side Miki don't feel guilty no cameras are filming you this is just business and this is yet another one of his screw up you won't have to clean up." He turned the bat on eyeing Ryo he didn't think as he smashed it into his leg hearing him cry out in agony as he hit the floor as the lightening cracked he smashed his leg a second time hearing another bone crack as he eyed everyone. "Come on Asuka show yourself or are you a coward?"

He smashed the bat down again hearing one of Ryo ribs shatter as he eyed everyone. "Boy and here I thought you'd want to get up and fight." He turned watching as three celebrities suddenly pulled out hand guns only for shots to fire off instantly as they were gunned down by his men and women before they could even get a shot off causing their wounded bodies to hit the floor hard as they began to bleed out clutching their wounds which were serious. "Well aren't you a bunch of trigger happy fucking morons?!"

He slammed the bat down hard hearing more of Ryo's ribs shatter the loser was now on the verge of passing out and had started crying from the pain. "Next one of you assholes who pulls out a gun I'm going put you out personally!" He eyed Ryo turning making sure Asuka could hear him. "You know people are dying because of you Asuka! One more blow and this time I'm going to cave in Ryo's head!"

He felt a wide toothy grin form. "You know maybe you want him to die I mean he did ask you and Rei Ayanami to have a threesome from what I'd heard, apparently you turned him down. Not that I blame you no one would but isn't it a little cold hearted to watch him die?" Asuka breathed in deeply looking down slightly a part of her wanted just to get out of here with Rei but the reality was three people were bleeding all over the floor from gun wounds one was out right dead and Ryo was going to die if this verfickte bastard carried on.

She eyed Rei again the truth was this wasn't about her they were probably after her girlfriend, they just wanted her out of the way to get to Rei that's why they were doing this, she wasn't the prize Rei had to be. She turned to her hating her next words as she pulled the safety off her gun. "Rei I have to go." She paused. "Maybe if I go they'll stop hurting and killing people."

Rei grabbed her arm. "No!" Asuka took hold off her hand gently pulling it away. "Look they're not after me, they just want me out of the way to get to you I'm not the prize you are and I know I can take that sack of scheisse down." Nicolai turned sharply. "You don't have to do this Asuka."

Asuka breathed in getting ready to stand ignoring the shock and uncertainty around her from the others kneeling by their tables. "Yes I do because I've taken down lesser men than him." She turned to Rei pulling her close holding her for a long moment. "I can do this we both know it and you have my phone call Nerv and you can hack the alarm it's behind that corridor and not attached to the main system I tried to hack it last time I was here for a joke it's why they threw me out along with the sexual harassment of staff."

She gave her a gentle kiss on the lips as she ran her other hand through her short hair. "I can take this guy out maybe then they'll negotiate with you." Rei felt her let go knowing that what Asuka had said was right she just didn't want to admit it.

Asuka stood up eyeing the others. "Protect her, this won't take long I promise you that and like I said before the panel is not far from here." Christopher looked up catching sight of Asuka she stepped away from her table walking towards him with a gun in her hand. "Well, well look who finally decided to show up?"

He put his bat over his shoulder eyeing the group of two men and two women opposite who were the specialized group signalling for the first two to go in to action. "Take her down but keep her alive!" Asuka watched as the first man ran at her she raised her gun knowing that for all the times before now that she had used a gun she had never killed outside the Evangelion. It had always been fake targets on the shooting range but these weren't targets these were people clearly evil verfickte people who would go to any lengths to get what they wanted.

She had trained for this all of her life and she was doing this to protect Rei she felt a sneer form as her finger pressed the trigger watching as it hit the man in the face sending blood everywhere as the next round hit him in the throat. As she turned it on the woman who ran at her firing again seeing it strike her neck as she fell to her knees bleeding out the pain in her eyes as she shot her in the leg sending her falling sideways. "How's about you not hide behind your people and verfickte come here and fight me!?"

Christopher eyed his sister who nodded he paused as he pulled his hand gun out tossing it to one side. "Okay how's about you get rid of yours and we'll fight like you want?" Asuka turned raising her gun and holder as she tossed it watching as it landed next to Antonio's table. "What about your bat?"

Christopher smirked. "That won't be part of our arrangement which is if I beat you I get the prize of being the only person out of a few to ever do so, and if you win we talk and this bat well it's just a version of a lightning rod I thought you could handle those." He swung the bat forward. "It's just metal and lightening or are you afraid of pain? Because I heard you weren't in fact I hear you get off on it."

Asuka stopped a few feet away from him. "You seem to know a lot about me how is that?" Christopher moved a step closer. "Let's just say we crossed paths once before but I doubt you'd ever remember you were very young at the time." Asuka eyed him. "Are you that boy who I lived next door to me the one I used to play knights and princess's with along with my older sister? Because I used to like him and if you're him I won't be impressed."

Christopher smirked. "Right time period Asuka wrong person I'm not him." He swung the bat. "As I say I'm not surprised you don't remember if I were you I'd probably forget to."

He turned seeing that Miki was holding Ryo who had now passed out. "I will say this though I know your one of the best at Nerv in terms of fighting and I'm going to beat the shit out of you and no one's going to interfere that's the rule." Asuka felt a sneer form on her lips. "Yeah sure you are."

She felt her knuckles crack. "I've kicked in lesser men and women than you in my lifetime you people are never a challenge you all brag and verfickte monologue." Christopher laughed changing the bats setting to its highest. "Then I look forward to proving you wrong!" He swung the bat full force watching as she instantly ducked out of the way.

He swung it again watching as she moved backwards avoiding it personally he didn't care for this mellow side of her he wanted to see the enraged beast the part that he had heard so much about the part of the video footage who had thrown a hospital bed in a fit of blinding rage and had razor teeth and a glowing left eye that was the challenge he wanted.

Because this was a walking god in human form the destroyer of worlds whose true purpose had yet to be fulfilled which was to become a death god and then pass on her power to them because in this cycle she clearly didn't want to be the bringer of death that was clear if she had wanted to she would have destroyed the world after the fight with Bardiel.

But what it was to be in the presence of a living god who didn't know there true purpose there true destiny and was living a human life without ever knowing never thinking for a second of the power she had because she was trapped in a human cage of flesh and blood.

He swung the bat watching her avoid it again as he good eyed narrowed as she tried to punch him only for his feet to shift. His grandmother had trained him for this for almost three years he was now ready he swung the bat smashing it to her exposed side watching as she stumbled forward crying out in pain. "Come on Asuka you can do better than that!" He paused. "What is it that highly pressed tailored expensive suit, is it a reminder that you have to behave yourself in good company and can't let go?"

Asuka breathed in as she tried to kick him only for him to leap back much to her frustration. "How about you not verfickte talk!?" The next moments turned to blinding pain as the bat impacted with her shoulder causing intense pain that was much worse than what she was used with lightning rods.

Christopher smirked. "Do you like my toy I had it specially made just for you?" He shifted as she tried to punch him again only to side step as his grandmother had taught him to judge closely her every move and match it with the opposite. "Is that suit a symbol of your fear? The fear that you are not human not fully that your forever tainted by an angel?"

He felt his eyes narrow. "Because we all know what's inside you Asuka you are a beast a force of nature that has no equal. Nerv just has you on a leash restraining you like that its pathetic when power like that should be free! Stop restraining it and fight me as your true self!"

Asuka turned only to be hit in the stomach which caused her to stumble back painfully only for the next moments to turn to blinding pain as its hilt smashed into her face causing her to crash sideways in to a table. "You know this is really fucking disappointing you can do better than this!" He moved closer. "But let me guess you don't want everyone to see because you're afraid?"

Asuka breathed in feeling the blood as it ran down her chin, why couldn't she verfickte hit this bastard? It made no verfickte sense it was that stupid bat but it hurt worse than anything she was used to she had to get it out of the bastards hands! She had hit other people at least once by now.

She turned throwing her leg out smashing it straight into his knocking him clean off his feet as she got onto hers only to scream in pain as the bat made contact with her shoulder before she could grab him forcing her backwards as she tried to take the pain. Christopher eased himself up as she backed up a step he could see the anger now in her face he could see Rei watching her and struggling with the emotion.

He swung the bat around. "Or maybe is it that you're afraid for that good looking woman you like to fuck might see the real you and be very afraid?" He felt his smile widen. "After all you were once up on time deemed to be unworthy by everyone and maybe you still are unworthy to everyone. Maybe that's the truth and that your terrified of them finding out that their savour is just an animal in human form and you're not good enough even for her!"

Asuka looked up sharply feeling rage start to burn before she could stop it, it was like a fire in her chest heating up her lungs and burning into her stomach who was this worthless piece of scheisse to tell her she wasn't good enough?!

Christopher felt his smile widen as he watched the dark patch turn lighter yes this was what he had been hoping for she was close just a little more and then he'd finally see the beast. Asuka moved sideways watching his every move as she felt her teeth grind together as she moved towards him her hand moving fast as she grabbed his bat hand before it could strike her feeling the force as he tried to force it towards her shoulder he was strong she could feel it in his movement.

She swung her other fist around watching as it smashed against into his face throwing him backwards though to her surprise he didn't fall over instead he only stumbled back.

She felt the confusion take over as he turned back to her grinning widely as blood ran down his chin as he spoke playfully. "Nice try, try harder." The bat was suddenly forced down right down into her shoulder causing intense pain followed by his knee slamming into her stomach throwing her backwards causing her to hit the floor on her knees in agony.

The next moments turned to a massive daze as the bat collided with her face throwing her backwards as everything went in and out of focus and her ears rang as she hit the floor on her back holding her face trying desperately to take the pain as she pulled her patch off in a violent motion as she felt the blood run down from her forehead.

Christopher breathed in eyeing her as he walked over to her raising the bat ignoring Rei's sudden cry of horror as she stood up fully. "How fucking disappointing." He brought it down only for Asuka's hand to stop it before it could hit her he didn't get a chance to think as she yanked it from his hand in a violent motion.

He watched as she rose to her feet still holding the bat despite that it was still shocking her only for her to throw it violently across the room causing it to land of one of the table sending drink and food flying before hitting the ground hard. Asuka's voice hit the air though the tone had changed it was darker. "Let's see what your like without your annoying verfickte bat!"

Her head rose slowly and he felt his heart race as he caught sight of the eye which was glowing brightly so much so that it was letting blue and white light, he watched as her mouth opened revealing the razor sharp teeth in all there wonderful glory. He could see the shock from all of the celebrities some were even recording it on their phones despite that they couldn't send any messages or video to the outside world. "Yes that's it reveal your true face!"

Asuka opened her mouth as she licked one of her canine teeth feeling every muscle tense as her scream came out before she could stop it she heard it change towards the end becoming more inhuman and more like a tiger’s roar.

Even if she wanted to stop the anger she no longer could and a part of her just didn't want to now because she liked the feeling as she ran at him smashing her fist into his side causing him to show instant pain knocked him clean off his feet she walked up to him bringing up her foot only for him to move as she brought it down full force hearing the floor boards crack under the carpet.

She watched as he got up strangely still smiling which was so confusing because people didn't normally smile at her when fighting her they always looked angry or afraid he didn't he looked smug and without fear and it was so unsettling.

She came at him only to once more be hit which caused her to stumble back she ignored the pain as she grabbed his fist as it came towards her as she elbowed him straight in the face. Sending him flying back as his nose started to bleed and an angered look appeared on his face as he wiping it away with his fingers.

It was almost satisfying to watch him squirm for the first time. Her smile suddenly left her as his foot came up lightning fast striking the side of her face sending her crashing back first into the table closest. She groaned in pain only to move as his fist came down hitting the table as she moved as fast as possible avoiding it.

She watched in surprise as he raised it eyeing the blood on it only to lick it with his tongue. "You know what play time is over Asuka." Asuka blinked in surprise as his whole body tensed as he turned to her only for his brown eyes to suddenly turn a glowing red as his teeth became razor sharp except for his front teeth but the lower canines grew upwards protruding out from his mouth to a huge existent. She felt her body freeze in shock how was that even possible it was only the Evangelion pilots who could currently do this…how had he gained the ability? Clearly he had to have stolen it from Nerv maybe by using their blood samples.

Christopher smirked. "You know in my home country they called me raging bull as a nick name do you want to know why?" Asuka breathed in breaking out of her haze. "Wouldn't raging hog be more fitting it suits your teeth way better?"

Christopher eyed her letting out a cry of anger as he ran at her grabbing her before she strike him forced her back first into the nearest table back first hearing her scream of agony from his fist making contact with her stomach. "You think you're the only one who has intense rage…well you're wrong, everything you can do I can do."

Asuka eyed him despite the pain as she spoke through gritted teeth. "And yet I'll still be better than you, you bastard since I didn't steal my abilities from someone else." She rammed her head up right in to his watching as he stumbled back crying out in pain. "Clearly another thief at Nerv, a traitor who has somehow tampered with our blood samples and given himself gifts."

Christopher ignored his fully bleeding nose feeling the rage start to build up fully. "I stole nothing my gifts are my own!" He paused noticing that she was still holding her side clearly she was starting to feel the pain now because she wasn't used to having someone stand up to her and his grandmother had said he had to wear her down as much as possible. "How's your stomach…intestines still feeling sore didn't you get those pulled out once?"

He turned only to grab her fist as it came at him followed by the other which he caught he felt her push against him he smiled as he began to put the pressure down on her fists seeing the pain in her face.

Christopher eyed her. "Maybe now would be a good time for you to surrender clearly that stomach wound of yours has had long standing consequences, you know another punch there might really hurt you." Asuka moved closer to him ignoring the pain. "Pain is just part of living it's the god's way of telling you, you're alive."

Christopher felt a sneer form. "No that's the lie you tell yourself the reality is you don't believe in the gods and you never have and like me you get off on pain you like the buzz it gives you." He threw a fist watching as she avoided it only to feel the pain as her foot slammed into his side.

He'd found the weak point he just had to hit it again in the same spot, clearly that old wound wasn't as hard as the rest of her he could see that one of the ties had now come loose from her hair which meant half it was now loose.

He eyed her avoiding her punches which were becoming faster and more agitated waiting carefully for the one moment ignoring the pain from the blow that hit his side as he smashed his elbow into her face watching as she stumbled back her breathing getting longer and heavier. He smiled seeing her turn on her heal to kick him he slammed his hand up stopping her leg as he shifted closer ramming his first into her stomach before she could move or shift hearing her cry out once more.

Asuka felt the agonizing pain as she punched in the stomach yet again which caused her to stumble back as he let go of her leg only for a second blow to land on her exposed leg causing her to hit the floor hard on her back as her vision started to truly blur as every breath came out painfully.

Christopher felt his razor teeth grind together as he walked towards her slowly feeling his fist tense as he got ready to grab her as he was truly pissed off now and wanted to end this he ignored the cold feeling of wet blood running down his nose. "You see you're not the only one with razor teeth or special gifts which your Evangelion gave you!"

Asuka looked up as she got to her feet slowly and painfully only to be struck again in the face which sent her flying backwards causing her to hit the floor on her side as she breathed in staring at him trying desperately to stay focused. "What would you know about an Evangelion!?"

Christopher leaned over grabbed her by the long red hair yanking her half way to her feet so her face was close to his. "As much as you destroyer of worlds..." He watched as her both of her eyes including her blind light one widened in shock as it clearly clicking in her mind who he really was. He didn't think as he drove his knee into her stomach ignoring her cry of pain. Asuka breathed in painfully trying to take the pain which was so hard now. "Wait…your him your that verfickte pilot!"

Christopher smirked smashing his foot into her leg ignoring her scream of agony as she hit the floor on her knees once more. "Yes that's right but I have to say that the more pressing issue is you not knowing who you really are." Asuka breathed in painfully as she fell forward realizing for the first time that the victory was truly slipping away from her, her stomach felt truly awful now and she just wanted to throw up and it hurt to move. "My name is Asuka Langley Soryu."

Christopher grabbed her red hair which was now completely loose again yanking her to meet his gaze as he spoke in a sharp cold whisper. "No that's not who you are, that's who you think you are between you and me I envy you I really do. To have such limitless power yet for it all be trapped away because of your human shell, to live your life without never really knowing your true purpose…there is no greater sin or pity."

He raised his hand. "All of this its illusion you know even fucking that good looking women it's all distraction it's not your true destiny, that's what we are going to return to you, that's why we are here, we are here for you destroyers of worlds." Asuka looked at him as a horrible realization of his words truly sunk in. "You're here for me…not Rei…"

Christopher's wide toothy smile slowly widened further. "Yes we are here for you…and now it's time for you to sleep." He grabbed her neck hoping that this would be enough to stop her as he wrapped his hands around her throat squeezing tight seeing the shock in her good eye as the other one dimmed becoming dark as he pulled her on to her feet and then higher.

He watched as her shoes started to shake as she grabbed his arms her face turning to panic and anxiety he didn't want to kill her, he just wanted her to pass out. He felt her hands claw and grab only to suddenly stop as they both fell to her sides as her breathing became heavy and slow followed by her eyes rolling back as she finally passed out. He let go seeing her hit the floor hard on her back through she didn't move though her leg twitched slightly. He breathed in turning to the audience. "Well looks like I won what a huge pity for the rest of you fuckers!"

Achika smiled as she walked out from her hiding place finally coming into view for everyone to see she paused ignoring their surprise she knew why it was there and hated the reason for it she had gotten it everywhere ever since Mari had joined the Nerv program and she hated it. She moved closer to Asuka tapping her foot with her shoe seeing her remain still. "She's out cold."

She turned to the armed men and women. "Bag and tag the destroyer of worlds and keep her sedated." She turned pointing to Rei raising her finger as she signalled in her direction as she spoke in a calm tone. "You be a good girl and come here now please."

Rei watched as Antonio grabbed Asuka's gun and holder pulling the Korth combat revolver free of its leather case taking the safety off. "No." Achika moved closer to her adjusting her glasses. "Let me make this clear to you, we are not interested in you and we won't lay a finger on you, your Gendo's daughter and we don't want to make enemies with him."

She put her hands behind her back moving closer. "Something bad is about come to full foliation and we don't want you around when it does, we want you to be set free far from this place safe and sound."

Rei felt her hand raise the gun trying to keep it hand steady so the shake didn't show which would give away her fear. "Who are you? You remind me of Mari." Achika moved closer her anger suddenly burning. "Don't compare me to the runt of the litter! I'm way better looking than her!"

She moved a step closer. "Now come here! We both know you don't have the guts to fire that gun, you're not like us it's not in your nature to kill in cold blood it is nothing to be ashamed of it's a noble trait in some circles." A wide grin formed on her lips. "Plus you wouldn't want to kill me with that weapon, it's an expensive tailor made hand gun clearly Asuka likes you to have the best of the best."

Rei eyed the gun lowering it so it was no longer aimed at the taller woman but the electronic box which powered all the lights in this room which was close by. "No your right I wouldn't shoot you in cold blood." She breathed in deeply raising it in a lightning fast motion. "Why bother though when I can do something far nobler."

She fired the gun seeing the shock in the woman's eyes as her bullet hit its mark causing an explosion of sparks which caused the room to plummet into darkness followed by cries of pain as guns fired she ran not looking back seeing hundreds of people flooding out of the doors towards the light as she followed them still hearing gun fire along with cries and screams.

Achika sneered as she watched some of the men and women turn on their lights in her direction she turned eyeing them. "Don't stand there we need Gendo's daughter now, I want her with us she's to be dropped off outside the building and don't cause her any harm!" She felt a sneer form as she turned to the other group. "Pull the buildings central flags down and put the new ones up the Gryphon ones as soon as we have Rei this will come to a satisfying conclusion!"

Christopher walked forward feeling his teeth return to normal as he pulled out a small object from his pocket which was silver and had flashing red parts. "That it will sister, I mean it's time to see what grandma's device is truly capable off."
