Eva-03

“What happened to Eva-03 after the incident with the angel Bardiel?” This question may interest one or the other. My name is Shinji Ikari and I will answer that question here and now. It's been 10 years since I last got into my Eva-01, so I think it's not that bad to tell a little bit from "Nerv's" secret files. After all, there is no longer any "nerve" in that sense and Eva's are all shut down. Well, let's go then!

I'll start with the fight between Eva-03, who was now possessed by Angel Bardiel, and the other Eva's. Bardiel had no major problems coping with Eva-00 and 02. Since my best friend Toji was sitting in the entry plug, I assumed that Asuka and Rei fought with the handbrake on. It wasn't much different for me, I couldn't fight my boyfriend either, that was too much for me and my father, Gendo, initiated the dummy.He cut all nerve contacts between me and Eva-01 and used Rei's dummy plug to control my Eva. So I had no choice but to watch as my friend's Evangelion was completely destroyed. There was no such thing as feelings for the dummy and that's why Eva-03 or the angel was completely dismantled. Finally, the entry plug that Toji was sitting in. I can't say what happened after that, I probably freaked out and destroyed some parts of the HQ, at least that's how I was told.
When I came to, I noticed that I was lying next to my friend Toji in the hospital. I was overjoyed when I found out that he was still alive. But his body has also suffered a lot in the struggle for life and death. He lost an arm and a leg in the incident, but he's still alive and that was the most important thing for me at the moment. The following remainder with the next angel etc. does not matter, so I now come to the unknown part.The individual parts of the Eva-03 were brought to the workshop, but most of the parts could no longer be used, such as the head or arm. The first step was to free the remaining parts of the body from the angel. But you could make an interesting find in the remains, namely the S² system was still fully functional and could still be used later. So some parts of the successor models were ordered and built into the destroyed Eva-03. The only problem was with the head, the successors had a different head shape. Since Eva-03 belongs to the production series and some parts of the destroyed Eva-04 were still in America, it was easy to find a suitable head. (The production series consists of Eva-02, 03 and 04. Eva-03 and 04 were absolutely identical, only the color was different.) So 2 months passed and then the day came, Eva-03 was fully functional again was in cage 5. I had to look at the whole work because I knew how much the dummy plug had destroyed the body.I was really amazed at how good he looked again. Everything is the same as before, but there have been some changes inside. On the one hand there was the S² system, which meant that this Eva no longer needed electricity, on the other hand there were improvements in the technology of the quick-change device for body parts, etc. I was so fascinated by the sight that I completely forgot one point. Who should control it ?! Toji couldn't serve him anymore, so who should be the replacement? The responsible specialists had already thought of this problem and equipped Eva-03 with the Toji dummy plug and tested how well the movement worked on the day it was completed. In this test run, the S² system was dispensed with and normal electricity operation was connected. Since there was an incident the last time, all pilots had to get into their Eve's, including me. To stop the Eva in case of uncontrollability. In fact, the Eva could not be controlled like that, some parts of the test laboratory were destroyed, but luckily the S² system had been dispensed with and the current could be removed and the Eva brought to a standstill.Eva-03 was deactivated after this incident and firmly anchored in a cage. So it was not used for the next time and all the work was apparently in vain. In the morning I went to my father to make him a suggestion, I wanted to suggest to him to let me control Eva-03 or to give it a try. But I didn't even have the opportunity to suggest that there was a new pilot. Now I asked myself which Eva, the new pilot, would be deployed for. As I found out, he was scheduled for Eva-03 and the test run was supposed to start at 1 a.m. today. The new guy introduced himself at the breakfast table. "Hello, my name is Nashiro Suzuhara.", He said, "I'm a brother of Toji Suzuhara and I'm looking forward to a good cooperation." A brother of Toji? Toji had never said anything about it, maybe a half-brother that even he didn't know ?! I quickly forgot my questions because there was angel alarm. "ALL PILOTS IN YOUR EVA'S !!"Shortly afterwards I was sitting in my Eva and fought against an angel as is typical, by my side Asuka in Eva-02 and Rei in her Eva-00. But none of us could really do anything against the angel, all attacks were in vain. As 1st of us Rei went down. Her Eva-00 was completely destroyed, but Rei escaped unscathed. Asuka had to go next, the emergency power generator didn't work and she had to give up the fight. Now I was facing the angel alone and didn't have I couldn't run out of electricity because my Eva absorbed the S² system of an angel, but that wasn't much use to me. Two more minutes and I would have had to give up the fight, the angel made me go to all registers the art finished. But then luck came back, behind the angel stood an Eva ... It was Eva-03 !! I was surprised to see him here of all people. "SHINJI !!! LET'S GET IT DONE !!!! "said a voice from the Eva.At first I thought Toji was there by my side, but it was Nashiro. To everyone's amazement, he could serve Eva very well. He can do what I learned in months of training right away! Together it was no longer a big issue to destroy the angel. After all, Nashiro came with a large number of weapons. So he was able to book a victory right from the start. We withdrew and put the Eva's in the cages to cool. My friend Asuka was visibly annoyed, at least she hadn't succeeded in destroying the angel with the help of Rei and me and then a guy just came along and fights as if he had never done anything else. I could understand her all too well.
You could now save yourself the test run at one. I would say Eva-03 has a new pilot!
Now there were 4 Eva´s available in Japan including pilots. But the next message was really surprising for everyone. Eva-05-13 should still come to Japan, but then so many were foregone.If a base is destroyed, all Eva's are automatically destroyed, that was too much risk for everyone and only Eva-05 was sent to us. The pilot was already established and was just like Nashiro practiced in handling the Eva's. His name Kaworu. The rest of Eve's were all shut down and stored all over the world. To the best of my knowledge, there are no pilots for this Eva series. Now there were 5 Eve's in the main nerve base, ready to save mankind from destruction. The fight against the angels could go on! The cards have been reshuffled! What happened now remains my secret for the time being. There is sure to be a sequel, because angels are still left to be destroyed and pilots with their Eve's ready to fight them!
