Erika stepped inside a capsule known as an entry plug. Inside was a cockpit to pilot the robot.

"My father never needed me before, but now he built a robot that needs me? Some joke, but it doesn't matter anyways. I may not like this idea, but I'm not a coward either!"

"Insert entry plug!" Announced 1st Lt. Miller.

The plug then got inserted into the entry within the Eva.

"Plug lock-in procedure complete! Initiating first level interface!"

The cockpit then got flooded with an orange amber like liquid coming from the bottom. To Erika, it looked like orange tang juice.

"Is this part of the interface?!" Erika exclaimed.

"Don't be alarmed" explained Dr. Ackerman. "The LCL will help your connection with the Eva, you'll get used to it".

Once the entire cockpit got flooded, Erika took the LCL in.

"Initiating power up sequence!"

The LCL then materialized from liquid to air. Becoming breathable oxygen in the midst of seconds. The cockpit began to change as well. It's screen began to digitalize and show a view of the hangar form the Eva's eyes.

"Evangelion Unit-02! Prepare to Launch!" Ordered Captain Whitehall.

The Eva was then launched from the hangar and straight up to through the roof. It kept going upwards until it reached the city's surface. Once it reached the city, Erika found herself facing the beast that almost killed her when she arrived, the Angel.

"This is it" she thought. "All I have to do is destroy it, that's all".

"Releasing safety locks!" Announced Whitehall.

The locks got off the Eva.

"Unit-02, lift off!"

The Eva and the angel were locked on eye to eye.

"Remember Erika, all what you have to do is concentrate on your thoughts" Susan explained. "That's how it works".

"Concentrate" Erika said to herself. "Just concentrate on walking and punching that beast".

Just as she grasps the controls on the cockpit, the Eva began to move without problems. Then, it started to run towards the messenger non stop.

"Good Erika!" Commented Susan. "Your doing great!".

As she charged towards the monster, Erika threw a punch directly at its face. The Angel's A.T Field blocked it as true first hit went by.

"Crap!" she thought. "He's got some sort of shield!".

Just as she was about to throw the another, the Angel stopped her by grabbing the Eva's left arm. It then began to crush it hard enough to break some of its armor. Erika could feel the Eva's damage as she screamed in pain.

"Erika! Listen! It's not really your arm!" Shouted Susan. "Keep fighting!".

"It hurts!" Screamed Erika as she grasped her left arm.
