Story: Asuka the Lab Rat

There was a certain dynamic between these three pilots. Asuka was the brains and the confidence, Shinji was the actual innate talent and Rei was... the extra pair of hands who dutifully followed orders.

Of late this dynamic had been shifted. Hard. Rei was the one brimming with confidence here. She had a feeling it wasn't being caused by anything natural and something about Asuka was making her feel this way, but screw it. She was pretty sure it wouldn't have any effect on her decision making ability.

"Angel! You shall rue the day you crossed paths with Rei Ayanami!"

Cue Unit 00 rushing in head first to punch an Angel in the face. At first things were going swimmingly. She hit it right on top of its stupid head - and then she got bodied herself when the other one hit her right in the side.

"Hrm? Grabbed me from behind?" Rei grunted. "As if I'll let you do anything from -"

At which point the Angel she'd rushed in to attack scooted forward and kicked Unit 00 right in the face. A moment later, the Angel grappling her from behind tilted back, dropping the Eva unit right on its head.

"Rei, are you alright?" Shinji yelled, rushing in a touch too late to actually be useful.

As for Asuka, she felt a little weird about this whole thing. Blast it! She'd been certain that should have finished the Angel off. How was she to know that it would split like that?! Ah, actually... might it split if it was defeated again? Would it keep happening? Would they have to fight hundreds of tiny Angels all at once? A colony of tiny Angels working in perfect harmony...

Well, at the very least their AT Field would be very weak if they were tiny. So the army might actually be useful for once!

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!" Rei whimpered, as her Unit was getting a hard kicking from the Angel that wasn't grappling with Shinji right now. "Asuka, get your immaculate German butt down here or I will give you such a paddling later on!"

"That's not really much of a threat," Asuka said, squirming a little in her seat. "Guh! Snap out of it, what's wrong with me! Shinji, I'm cumming - I mean... I'm coming!"

Ugh, what was with her lately? Asuka felt so... horny and subservient, this really wasn't like her at all. Weirdly, it didn't seem to be affecting her synch levels or her piloting ability. But she definitely felt different. Not... bad different, but definitely different.

Anyway, never mind that for now! Her main priority was taking that Angel from behind. Guh! She - she was meaning attack it, not anything perverted! Anyway, Unit 02 went for a nice stab in the back while it was tangling with Unit 01. Ah, but then! Asuka half turned her Eva around, and blocked a hard kick coming in from the other Angel.

"Thought I forgot about you, didn't you?" she asked.

"It would be the kind of thing you'd do," Rei added. "I'll deal with this creep! Follow my lead, and we'll make it through in no time - "

Which is when somehow, Rei managed to get double teamed in the exact same way again. The Angel fighting Shinji had slipped away from him, dropkicked Rei, then German suplex from the other

Now, Asuka's mind was a brilliant one. Really, it was. That wasn't boasting on her part. She really and truly was a genius, but knowing that she was had given her an extraordinary confidence problem. As in, she had too much of it. Now that the pendulum had swung the other way though? Something interesting was happening here.

Namely: Asuka was getting analytical on this bitch.

Rei was acting aggressive, dominant and possessive, but with that came a shorter temper and a dulled reasoning. This total 180 of personality had left her in a state where she just did whatever felt right at the moment. And while Rei seemed to have great instincts for sexy things.. Nope, not thinking about that! Regardless, while Rei was good at that, she sucked at strategy, at least when she was rushing through things here.

"Um, Rei?" Asuka said when Unit 00 got back up and rushed back into combat. "Maybe we should use numbers to our advantage here?"

"Shut up and do what you do best!" Rei barked back. "Sit there and look sexy so I have something nice to look at while I -"

Get double teamed. Again. Verdammt Shinj! Hold onto one Angel for a minute, can't you?

"I'm just saying that a little teamwork -"

"Who needs teamwork when I'm this awesome!"

Yep. Awesome. Because awesome gets double teamed three - make that four times in quick succession. Asuka sighed a weary sigh and moved in to confront the Angel - then got her own ass tossed to the dirt when Rei bowled over her!

"Outta my way, stepping stone!"

Ooh, that's it! After this fight Asuka was going to - she would definitely - Ah... ah...! Blast it, why was it so hot and sticky in between her thighs! She wasn’t even into girls, no, she wanted a manly man. Not a blue haired albino with eyes like rubies and a dangerous smile that made her weak in the knees.

Nnngh! She couldn't take this anymore! Unit 02 lunged towards Unit 00, intercepting it before it could rejoin the fray.

"Punish me!" Asuka begged. "Please Rei, spank me, I need it so badly!"

"Ugh? You slutty redhead!" Rei scoffed. "Can't this wait until after the battle?"

"Noooo.... I neeeeed it!" Asuka gurgled.

"Uh, guys? Little help here?" Shinji asked. Meanwhile, everyone in the command centre was busy facepalming. Unit 01 had been grabbed from behind by one Angel, while the other was coming in for a stiff kick to the face. "Guys? Can't this wait?"

"Nope," Asuka said. "It couldn't wait... until this very moment."

Right at the moment that one Angel came in for the kick, Asuka shot the other in the legs. Unit 01 slipped away, and cue one Angel kicking another in the face. Sending it flying back right in between where Unit 00 and Unit 02 were waiting for it.

"Ohohoho, hi there!" Rei said. Unit 00 pounded its fist into its open palm menacingly. And you'd better believe that when a skyscraper tall mech does that, it comes across as menacing. By god does it ever! "Looks like someone wants to get kicked in the head, huh Asuka?"

"Uh... Ex-excuse me Mistress!" Asuka interrupted. "I was w-watching the fight between Shinji and the other one. It kept regenerating when he dealt what should've been a lethal blow. I think... we have to kill them at the same time."

There. Ah! She'd done it! She'd actually managed to put together a plan and enact it, even getting out the important part about having to take them both down at the same time. Asuka felt a thrill shoot through her body: Useful! She'd been soooo useful right now!

Her mistress was going to reward her, she couldn’t wait to be spanked and played with until she became a mess and- wait a minute what was she thinking again?

“After this is over, I so need to get Ritsuko to do a checkup.” Asuka mumbled to herself, being careful to avoid being heard by her mistress.. ergh Wondergirl! Anyway, enough of that! She had to try to f-focus on winning this fight. No distractions! Down to business and the other two were getting their heads handed to them by the Angels.

"Rei! We had them on the ropes!" Shinji complained. "Why did you have to do that?"

"Because I am awesome, and therefore the best chance of winning," Rei plainly answered.

Ah. So it was going to be one of <i>those</i> days. How wonderful! Okay Asuka. Time to put that brilliant mind of yours to work. Sure, there was a really strong something or other pressing hard on your libido and sure, your confidence wasn't where it normally was, but... Weirdly, those two facts were giving her a lot of focus right now for some reason. It was as if the things holding her back the most had been tossed aside.

Alright, so here's the problem: These two things were the same Angel, which meant a killing blow had to be dealt to both of them simultaneously. Unfortunately, they were also adept at moving in unison. Which meant that if one wanted to fight offensively, the other would fight defensively. Conclusion: Defeating them by herself was functionally impossible. She needed the other pilots to help out. It would be necessary to double team them.

Double team them. The same way she was going to double team Shinji with Rei later on. Asuka stopped to wipe a little drool away from her mouth. Not the time for that! What she needed was a way to get Rei to work together with her, preferably Shinji too. Three versus two was even better odds after all. But how do you make a super dominant and sexually possessive girl who plans to do all sorts of perverted things to you later do what you want?

"Oh no, if we lose here then Mistress Rei won't be able to give me the spanking I deserve."

Brilliant. And for some reason saying that aloud made Asuka's nipples hard. Which she was going to ignore, no matter how much her hands were saying to play with them!

"What was that?" Rei grunted. Huh. Asuka had never heard her grunt before. "I won't get to... Give you what you so obviously have coming to you?"

"That's right," Asuka said, clapping her hands. "Oh! A spank just like that won't do at all!" She clapped her hands again. "Nope, this won't do. It won't do at all. What I really need - " Clap. "Is for you - " Clap. "To take me over your knee- " Clap. "And spank me until my bottom turns as red as this plugsuit."

Which was when something inexplicable happened. An Eva did, indeed rise to its feet with an obvious and extremely potent looking AT Field shimmering around it. Aha! Her motivation had worked like a charm! The only little detail that hadn't quite met her expectations was, well, that it was Unit 01 rather than Unit 00.

Huh. Maybe letting him hear about her intentions to let Rei spank her had switched on a little something else inside Shinji Ikari's mind? Had little Shinji woken up? She'd have to tease him about this later on. After Rei spanked her - No, no no! She was not letting Wondergirl sp-spank her!

"You ready to fight, Ikari?" Asuka asked, sliding into place next to the boy while the Angels adopted their formation. One defensively, hanging back. The other offensively, moving towards them.

"I have only one question," Shinji mumbled. "C-Can I watch?"

Asuka's hips reflexively humped the LCL in her cockpit.

“Watch? I will have to teach you how to properly spank her, so you may as well do it then. Hmm.. you take one cheek and I take another. Until Asuka moans and screams with every touch.” There was an almost mad tone to Rei’s voice, one that made both of her fellow pilots shudder and gulp as certain things came to mind.

<i>"Finally, Ritsuko! What took you so - What in the unholy fuck is going on with you three today?!"</i> Misato yelled down the comms line. <i>"Can you please take this fight seriously already?! What do you mean the signal is - "</i>

And then the line cut out again. Weird. Well, they'd have to deal with that later on. For the time being they had an Angel to fight! Rei advanced on the one in the rear, while Shinji went for the one up front - and Asuka went right in between both of them at once. The Angels were promptly tackled in towards her, slammed into one another's bodies- and then Asuka pierced them both at once with a single thrust of her dagger.

"Huh, that almost seemed anti-climactic," Shinji said.

"Don't worry Pilot Ikari," Rei said. "There will be plenty of climaxes later on tonight."

Well, so far as Asuka was concerned that was fine. For now, she'd revel in a little bit of a boost to her confidence... Although, now that the action was over, she was starting to get a little bit concerned about what her complete clarity and ability to apply her intelligence so efficiently under those conditions said about her psychology.

“Verdammt nochmal!” Asuka tsked. "I'm a repressed bisexual masochist!"

1. Well... Not exactly. What she was, was still in the process of changing.
2. Misato reads them the riot act for their dirty talk.
3. Ritsuko covers for them, claiming it was a psychological attack by the Angel and they clearly need more tests.
4. Alternatively, Ritsuko starts using Misato as a guinea pig now.
5. Something else
