Ocean is more ancient than the mountains, and freighted with the memories and the dreams of Time." -H.P Lovecraft

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" Asuka roared at her CO/Guardian. She had been fuming ever since Rei saved her from the atomic blast that killed the angel an hour ago, mainly due to something "stealing her kill."

Misato sighs and says "What attacked use was the same thing that launched by boat at us when we left the Marine Research Facility. Officially we have no idea what the hell it is. But..."

"But what Misato?! Spill it!" Asuka growled at Misato.

"...According the MAGI, it's both highly radioactive and has DNA similar to that to a dinosaur." Misato finished her explanation.

Meanwhile at the NERV Infirmary, Rei as sitting next to a sleeping Shinji Ikari who was asleep from both the exhaustion of handling the eighth angel by himself and some medicine Ritsuko had given him to flush out any radiation he could've been exposed to by being near the atomic blast.

"What is this I am feeling?' Rei asks herself "I felt something similar to this when I saved Pilot Shikinami. Is this relief? Is this what you felt when you helped me when we defeated the sixth angel?'

Rei then remembers the aftermath when she smiled at Shinji for the first time, after which the two of them began to share a bond of some sort. Some would question if Rei has any grasp on friendship since she seemed to have no emotions what so ever but for the past few weeks Rei was actually enjoying being in Shinji's presence and was showing legitimate emotions slightly if one takes a careful look.

Shinji then began to stir as he wakes up groggily, only to hiss in pain of his slightly burned hands. He then turned to see Rei coming to his side in a split second.

"Your hands suffered some burns and you are still experiencing the side effects of the medication Doctor Akagi has given you. You must rest for now." Rei told her companion.

"Uggh I feel like crap. So you have any idea what took out the angel? I mean it can't be an Eva since there was no AT Field." Shinji asks Rei.

"I am not sure. From what I was told in the debriefing, it's some kind of creature that also attacked that survey ship that almost caused us to crash a few days ago. And from what kind of beam I've seen, it's similar to the Positron Rifle that killed the sixth angle." Rei explained as she remembered how the unknown attacker used an attack similar to how they killed the sixth angle Ramiel.

"That's bad, so does Misato or my father have a plan to figure out what're we going to do?" Shinji asks.

"Actually I do!" A familiar voice said as both turned to see Misato enter along with Ritsuko.

"Major. Doctor." Rei addresses her superiors with respect.

"Rei I told you to call me Misato when we're not in battle." Misato said to Rei as she honestly not a fan to be constantly addressed as a big military type.

"Yes Ma-Misato." Rei corrected as somehow it felt right to address the purple haired woman as such.

"Anyways, your dad wants us to take care of that thing as something that's attacking both humans and angels is obviously something we must take care of. Plus that's last location is a few kilometers from our shores, meaning it could come back to attack at any time." Misato explained to situation to Shinji.

"So what's the plan?' Shinji asks.

"Simple: we're going to hunt this thing where it lives." Misato puts it bluntly.

"Seriously?! But that means only Rei Asuka are up against this thing?!" Shinji asks in shock.

"Not to worry. We're equipping them with specially D-Type equipment that'll help the Evas swim and be more resistant towards the radiation that this creature is emitting." Ritsuko tried to calm down the Third Child.
