A brief word from the author:

Some of you may remember a "fusion" I posted several months back, inspired
by one of DB Sommers "Fusions That Should Never Be". It was called "Magical
Armoured Princess Evangelia, SANJO!" and is available here
(http://members.tripod.com/spghome/id71.htm) in snazzy html with
illustrations or here
(http://members.tripod.com/spghome/HTMLobj-519/MAGICAL_ARMOURED_PRINCESS_EVA
NGELIA.txt) in boring ol' text, should you feel the need to refresh your
memories.

Recently I've been concentrating on learning my way around Photoshop, so
many of my fics and story ideas have been lying fallow, so I've decided to
flex some of those mental muscles again and post a couple of things. This
first is not quite a teaser, not quite a fic- it's incomplete, but a return
to the Evangelia world. Try not to take it too seriously, 'cause, like the
original Evangelia post, it's all meant in good fun. I hope it's as fun for
you to read as it was for me to write.

And now, without further ado...

MAGICAL ARMOURED PRINCESS EVANGELIA S:
Valentines Day Attack!

First universe on the right, and straight on 'till morning...

"Rei, hurry up and transform," Gwen-gwen called to her slight, blue-haired
charge. "The others are in trouble, and they need your help!"

Rei Tsukino pulled her soft, red-tinged gaze away from the battle to face
her avian mentor. Gwen's eyes were fraught with worry, and her featherless
black arms were flailing with alarm. The little penguin was right. The rest
of Evangelia Team was in grave danger.

The day had started out so perfectly! Tomorrow being Valentine's Day,
Misato-chan, Asuka-chan, Ritsuko-chan and Rei had gathered at Hikari-chan's
house to make chocolate to give to the boys they liked. Misato-chan had been
crowing about how she would finally track down that handsome Tuxedo Kaji and
let him know that she loved him, Rei and Asuka were involved in another
tongue war over who would get to give quiet, soft-spoken Shinji their
chocolates first, while their avian mentors, Gwen-gwen and Pen-pen merely
shook their heads in exasperation.

Then, the call had come in from Central Control at N.E.R.V. Foundation HQ; a
Nega-Angel shaped like a box of Valentine candies was rampaging through the
Tokyo-3 Ginza. The girls had rushed to the scene, only to find that the
Nega-Angel wasn't alone. Things had gone downhill from there.

Evangelia Red and Evangelia Purple were still standing bravely despite their
injuries, frowns of grim determination creasing their pretty faces. Not five
meters distant, Evangelias Blue and Green lay prone and unconcious, while
hunky Tuxedo Kaji struggled to regain his feet, his high-tech gadgetry
sparking and sputtering, rendered useless by the bizarre, heart-shaped
Nega-Cherub's Absolute Terror Blast.

High above them, two members of the Throne of Souls, Dark Lord Keele's
personal vanguard, laughed in wicked glee as their opponents struggled to
remain concious: Ranmiel, Nega-Angel of Chaos and his mate and partner in
villany, Akaniel, Nega-Angel of Rage.

"Hah! Foolish Lillim," Ranmiel chortled as Nega-Cherub Cupid unleashed
another Absolute Terror Blast at Evangelias Red and Purple, blowing the
mecha-suited warriors for love and justice off their feet. "None can stand
against the power of the Nega-Angels!"

"That's right," Akaniel crowed from behind a delicately lifted hand, "Soon
none will stand in the way of our total domination of the Earth Kingdom!"

Rei closed her eyes tightly, and when she opened them, the scarlet orbs were
resolved. "You're right, Gwen-gwen. I can't let my friends down!"

Holding aloft her henshin Koa, a fist-sized red jewel, she cried: "MOON
ARMOUR POWER, LAUNCH!"

Suddenly, her slight, schoolgirl frame was blazing with white light. Her
drab grey and white school uniform dissolved, and taffeta-pink ribbons
boiled forth from the red gem now blazing just below her breasts, becoming
blue-accented white armour. The two odango-like white knobs of her interface
headset appeared first, followed by the white breastplate emblazoned with
the number "00" that materialized around the red gem. Then the high blue
boots with white-trimmed kneeguards, and the blue elbow-length gauntlets,
their LED displays that read "Evangelia Unit 00" proudly glowing. Next the
tall, blue, wing-like epaulets tipped with white that rose almost vertically
between her shoulders and collar. Last came the short white pleated skirt
that sprang out around her waist. As her transformation ended, she struck a
pose, feet shoulder-width apart and fists defiantly on hips.

"I am the Pretty Mecha-Suited Warrior of Love and Justice, Evangelia White!
Saint Valentines Day is for young girls to enjoy true love, not flee
screaming from evil monsters! On behalf of the Lord, I will punish you!"

Evangelia Red and Evangelia Purple rallied as their leader appeared.
"Evangelia White!" they chorused.

Ranmiel's cocky grin twisted into a scowl. "Curse you, Evangelia White!
You've interfered in our plans for the last time! Nega-Cherub Cupid, blast
her!"

The strange, heart-shaped Cherubim nodded to its masters then pointed one of
its clawlike hands at the new arrival. "Luv-Luv BLAST!"

With a yelp, Evangelia white leapt aside as the bolt of Absolute Terror
Energy tore into the ground beside her. Seeing this, Red and Purple whirled
to face the Cherub once more.

"PROGRESSIVE FLAME..."

"LOVELY BEERY..."

"...SNIPER!!!"

"...SHOCK!!!"

Gouts of fire and amber energy blazed forth from the Pretty Warriors' hands,
combining into one golden beam that blasted the Chebum off its' talon-like
feet and across the street, demolishing two cars and a storefront. High
above, the two Nega-Angels scowled.

"You'll pay for hurting my precious Cherub," Akaniel growled, manifesting a
blazing red warhammer. "AKANIEL NEGA-ANGEL SMITE!!"

The fiery red hammer hurtled towards Red and Purple. The pair barely dodged
aside in time, and were knocked through a nearby shop window by the
explosion.

Evangelia White staggered to her feet, rubbing her bruised posterior. She
had taken a tumble avoiding Cupid's AT blast. Glancing around herself, she
saw Cupid rip itself free from the storefront and begin to stalk towards
her. Above Akaniel and Ranmiel cackled in anticipation. White was alone now
against the three Nega-Angels.

Cupid raised a clawed hand to unleash a final AT blast when suddenly it
screamed in agony, clutching its arm. A rose, shimmering with hexagonal
sparkles of energy, was embedded in the creature's forearm.

Evangelia White, Ranmiel and Akaniel glanced upwards, following the
trajectory of the strange projectile to spy a familiar masculine figure,
clad in gold and white, perched atop a nearby skyscraper.

"Seraphic Kamen! You're here!" White cried out joyfully. No one knew who the
Mysterious Angelic Warrior Seraphic Kamen really was- a white domino mask
concealed his true identity- but he always arrived in the nick of time to
save the day. He leapt gracefully off the rooftop, nine crackling wings of
pure energy sprouted from his back as he descended to perch gracefully atop
a miraculously-undamaged streetlamp.

"Do it now, Evangelia White," he called with a kindly smile. "Believe in
yourself, and you can do anything!"

"Un," Rei nodded, smiling. She turned once more to face her trio of
opponents. As she struck a pose, a beam of light seemed to shine down from
the heavens, illuminating her, and bell-like tones began to sound. A long
spear of pink crystal appeared in her hand with a flash, twisting as though
it were almost alive, the pointed head forking into a strange two tined
configuration. Evangelia White began to twirl the weapon like an oversized
baton, pirouetting and leaping as she did, until she came down into an
en-garde position, the twin points thrust out at the Nega-Angels

"HEAVENLY... LIGHT... PURIFICATION!!!"

Two beams of silvery sparkles spiralled out of the tips of the Twin
Heartache Spear. The three Nega-Angels howled as they were enveloped in Holy
Light. Ranmiel shuddered, then exploded into a shower of dark light. Akaniel
and Cupid fell to earth, shaking.

"Good job, Evangelia White," Seraphic Kamen said with a nod. "Remember that
a pure heart can accomplish miracles!" With a final bow, he disappeared in a
blaze of golden light.

"Wow..." Evangelia White sighed, hearts in her eyes. "He's so-o dreamy!!"

"You can say that again, Wondergirl," Evangelia Red opined, having found her
feet. Sparkles floated in her big blue eyes.

"Yeah, he's cute all right," Evangelia Purple chimed in, nodding seriously
as she joined the others. "Still, he's not as cute as Tuxedo Kaji-sama! Say,
where _is_ he, anyway?" They looked around, but the tuxedo-clad superspy had
vanished. "Mouu!"

Evangelias Green and Blue, having regained conciousness, joined the others
by White's side.

"What a mess," Evangelia Green sighed as she took in the devastation around
them. With a shake of her brown ponytails, she continued. "The N.E.R.V.
Foundation's gonna go bankrupt paying for all these damages."

Evangelia Blue was about to agree, when her compact-shaped mini-computer
began to beep in alarm. "What?" The blonde haired warrior began to
frantically type away.

"What is it?" Purple asked.

"My Pocket-MAGI is detecting a blue pattern! My God!!!" She whirled and
pointed. "Akaniel and Cupid are still alive!!!"

The rest of Team Evangelia spun, shocked. Akaniel was climbing to her feet,
a blazing red AT Field crackling around her.

"Insolent Eva-Brats! You'll pay for destroying my beloved!" She pointed a
black gloved finger at the still-supine Cupid, and fulminating gouts of
black lightning arced between them. "Nega-Heaven Power... MAKE MY MONSTER
GROW!!"

With a bellow of triumph, Cupid surged to its feet, warping and twisting as
it grew larger and larger until the Cherub towered overhead, larger than the
surrounding skyscrapers.

"CUPID!!!" it bellowed, shattering glass for kilometers around.

"Now, Cupid!" Akaniel raged, "Destroy Tokyo-3! Destroy the Evangelia Team!!
Destroy them all!!!"

The girls of Evangelia Team shared a serious look, then nodded in unison.

White spoke first. "It's time to summon Mighty Evangelion."

"Right!" the rest chorused.

White raised the Twin Heartache Spear overhead and called out, "We call apon
the power of Mighty Evangelion! MOON ANGEL POWER!!"

Red held aloft her transformation Koa. "FIRE ANGEL POWER!!"

Blue was next. "OCEAN ANGEL POWER!!"

Then, Green. "EARTH ANGEL POWER!!"

Finally, Purple. "HEART ANGEL POWER!!"

Then, in unison: "EVANGELIA POWER... LAUNCH!!!"

There was a rumble, like a storm over the ocean, and then, a heavenly chorus
burst into song, and Handel's "Halleluia Chorus" thundered across the land.
>From behind the mountains stepped a giant robot, in gleaming shades of
white, blue , green, red and purple. It threw back its horned head and
opened its mouth, issuing a triumphant roar of its own, a giant Twin
Heartache Spear appearing in one gauntleted fist.

In a twinkling, the Evangelia Team was assembled in Mighty Evangelion's
cockpit, and the giant robot charged into the fray. Nega-Cherub Cupid
bellowed its own name in challenge, and rushed to meet Mighty Evangelion
head-on.

The battle was joined, and soon robot and Cherub hurled energy blasts and
buildings at one another. Here Mighty Evangelion delivered a vicious
uppercut that sent Cupid sprawling, there Cupid's AT blasts knocked the
mighty robot off its feet. Just as it seemed that the giant Nega-Angel had
the upper hand, Mighty Evangelion brought the Giant Twin Heartache Spear to
bear.

Inside the cockpit, Evangelia Team called in unison: "BLAZING SPEAR...
ACTION!!!"

The Mighty Evangelion leapt at Cupid, swinging the Spear like a halberd. The
Spear sliced deep as Evangelion passed overhead, then landed on its feet
with earth-shattering force, its back to the Nega-Angel.

Cupid began to roar in pain as a glowing cut bisected its monstrous form,
and then it was gone, obliterated in a titanic, cross-shaped explosion.

Like a victorious samurai, Mighty Evangelion stalked undamaged out of the
fiery cloud, sparing not a glance for its fallen foe.

Soon, the robot was gone, returned to wherever it was that it went between
emergencies (none of the Evangelia Team knew for sure) and the team was once
more on foot, surrounding Akaniel.

The Nega-Angel shook with impotent fury. "Curse you all, Eva-brats! You may
have defeated me, but you won't live to brag about it!!" A Blue-black gem on
her chest, her Nega-Koa, began to pulse with black light. "I've activated my
self-destruct spell! When this goes off, everything for kilometers around
will be anihilated! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!"

Evangelia White set her jaw. She couldn't let Akaniel take Tokyo-3 with her.
Closing her eyes, she focused her energies and transformed into her highest
self, Angelic Princess Lilith. Two gossamer wings sprouted from her back,
and her Evangelia armour faded into insubstantial light, which re-formed as
a billowing white dress. When her eyes opened once more, she looked older,
somehow more regal and adult. She held high the Twin Heartache Spear,
brandished it twice, then pointed it at the madly laughing Akaniel.

"Stop it, Rei! Don't do this, it might kill you!" Red cried, tears mounting
in her eyes.

"I must," Lillith answered simply, the barest hint of a soft smile on her
lips. "Or Tokyo-3 may die." She returned her attention to the Nega-Angel.
"HEAVENLY... LIGHT... PURIFICATION!!!"

The silvery beam lanced out, consuming Akaniel and muting the pulsing
blackness. Lillith's brow creased with effort, and she felt herself growing
weaker. The Nega-power was too strong, the corruption too deep. She might be
able to stop the impending explosion, but she wouldn't be able to redeem
Akaniel... Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder. She glanced back.
Evangelia Red nodded at her.

"Take my power, if you need to, Wondergirl."

"Mine too, Rei-chan," Green added, touching Rei's other shoulder.

"And mine," Purple smiled, placing her hand overtop Red's.

"Mine as well," Blue added seriously. "My Pocket-Magi's calculations
indicate an exponetial rise in the chances of a best-case outcome should we
pool our energies." She smiled, and for a second, her aloof persona cracked,
and genuine warmth shone through her eyes. "Go on, Princess. Save the city."

Their power combined. Not merely doubled or trebled, but multiplied
exponentially five times over. The silvery beam of the Heavenly Light
Purification swelled, growing from a stream to a rushing torrent of holy
light.

Akaniel screamed as the darkness was burned away from her soul and she felt
whole and clean for the first time in centuries. Then, suddenly, she was
gone.

The power ceased, and Angelic Princess Lilith reverted back into Evangelia
White, then, finally down into Rei Tsukino.


MORE TO COME... Someday...
