NERV HQ Geofront, Tokyo
You are Shinji Ikari, and you wince as your EVA mends part of the damage it sustained at the hands of Zeruel. Your high Synch Rate is causing your body to interpret the process as your own flesh knitting itself back together quite painfully.
"You still good to go, Shinji?" Asuka asks.
"Yeah-" You wince again, "yeah, I'm fine!"
"Let's kill this damn thing before it causes any more trouble!" Toji yells.
You charge forward alongside the others, EVAs 00, 01, 02, and 03 readying their weapons against Zeruel.

As all of you charge forward, Zeruel's eyes flash, and you instinctively step forward while raising an AT Field.
Unlike when Zeruel attacked you with its arms earlier, this time the Angel's attack is harmlessly deflected off of your AT Field. Well, 'harmlessly' is a relative term in this case, as the area immediately in front of you is a scorched mess. You idly wonder if NERV's cleanup crews have trained to deal with the interior of the Geofront.
EVA-00 charges forward and slams its left palm into Zeruel's AT Field. After a few seconds, the field seems to degrade slightly, and Rei levels her shotgun at the Angel and fires, armor piercing canister shot perforating Zeruel's skin and causing it to bleed.
Rei backs off as Toji charges forward in EVA-03, war hammer held high.
EVA-03 swings its hammer down with great force, slamming against Zeruel's AT Field. After a few seconds of struggle, Toji grunts something you can't hear clearly before the cap on the end of the hammer explodes, the shaped charge causing Zeruel's AT Field to fail. Toji swings the hammer back in a wind up before slamming it into Zeruel's 'face', which unexpectedly causes the Angel to cover it with some kind of armored membrane the moment before impact.
Although Toji's blow doesn't seem to do as much damage as he'd like, it has the benefit of distracting it from you and Asuka.
"I am going to bring hellfire down on your ass!" Asuka quips as she unleashes a hail of HE bullets and shells from her weapons.
Zeruel's AT Field withers and dies under the barrage, and even as its skin is riddles with cracks, you charge in with your Progressive Katana.
Unortunately, Zeruel seems to have wise up a bit. Its AT Field flares back to life as Asuka stops to reload in the middle of your swing, and your katana bounces off of.
You barely have time to consider your next course of action when Zeruel rushes forward and headbutts EVA-01 through your hastily erected AT Field.
Zeruel's eyes flash, and you're unpleasantly reminded of the time Ramiel almost cooked you alive.
"SHINJI!" Asuka yells in horror before leveling her weapons at Zeruel and firing on full auto.
"Hands off Ikari, damn you!" Toji yells as he levels his heavy shotgun and fires HE slugs at the Angel.
Despite the grievous wounds Zeruel is sustaining, it continues its attack on EVA-01, slamming it into the ground before unleashing a withering barrage of blows from its flexible arms at the downed Evangelion.
The Unicorn and Hi-Nu Gundams deploy all of their remote weapons while manifesting the glow of psychoframe in an attempt to distract the Angel, only for it to pay them no mind even as its AT Field falls apart due to the psychic interference.
With most of the others within the Geofront keeping the Zeruel copies from interfering, hope seems lost.
Thankfully, there are a trio of Super Robots that have something to say about that.
You are Asuka Langley Soryu, and as you discard your now empty weapons and run over to a weapon rack to grab an EM crossbow, you see an eruption of gold and green light in your peripheral vision.
You turn to see Mazinkaiser, Shin Great Mazinger, and Shin Getter Robo charging at Zeruel, the first two machine glowing gold with Photon Power, and the latter glowing green with Getter Rays.
Ray of hope! Mazinkaiser, Shin Great Mazinger, and Shin Getter Robo attack Zeruel
Stunt! Final Dynamic Special!
Zeruel's AT Field has been temporarily disabled due to psychoframe phenomena!
vs
Armor DC 24 = 20 Armor + 14 Ability + 4 (The 14th Angel) - 8 (Getter Ray Exposure) - 4 (Progressive Katana shred) - 2 (HE damage)
Roll 3d10 + 25 (Cumulative ability of Kouji, Tetsuya, and Ryoma) + 8 (Kouji and Tetsuya at 9 Will) + 5 (Ryoma at 10 Will) + 6 (Photon Power and Getter Rays)
Roll 4, 3, 7
4 + 3 + 7 + 25 + 8 + 5 + 6 = 58 *1.25 (Mazinpower-Mazinkaiser) *1.25 (Mazinpower-Shin Great Mazinger) = 91
Result: Zeruel is killed.
As Zeruel turns to face the trio of Super Robots, Kouji is the first to act.

"KAISER BLADE!" Kouji yells, Mazinkaiser drawing the eponymous sword out from its chest.
Mazinkaiser charges forward and brings the Kaiser Blade down in a vicious two-handed strike. Zeruel's AT Field manifests, but fizzles out before impact as the Hi-Nu and Unicorn Gundam's psychoframes continue to glow.
The Kaiser Blade digs deep into Zeruel's flesh, Kouji working the blade through half the Angel's torso before pulling it out.
"Hah!" Tetsuya yells as Shin Great Mazinger follows up, Mazinger Blade in hand.
Zeruel attempts to block the Mazinger Blade with its folding arms, only for Shin Great Mazinger to cut through them almost effortlessly and hack off one of its arms.
Zeruel shrieks in pain as it staggers backwards, eyes flashing and firing off its beams wildly. None of them come close to hitting anything except the walls of the Geofront.
"Getter Tomohawk!" Ryoma yells.
Shin Getter 1 dashes forward, carving large chunks of flesh out of Zeruel as it shrieks in pain. Zeruel rears back before trying to blast Shin Getter 1 with its eye beams.
"Open Get!" The Getter Team says in unison, Shin Getter Robo splitting into its component machines to dodge the attack.
"Let's finish this thing off!" Kouji yells.
"Right!" Tetsuya and the Getter team say in unison.
As the Unicorn and Hi-Nu Gundams back off, you see that Mazinkaiser is glowing with even more Photon Energy than before.
"HAH! KAISER NOVA!" Kouji yells, Mazinkaiser thrusting its fist forward.
For a split second, an enormous sphere of Photon Energy forms above Mazinkaiser before flowing into it, a golden-yellow beam erupting from Mazinkaiser's right fist toward Zeruel.
Much of the Photon Energy emanating from Mazinkaiser flows into Shin Great Mazinger, which raises both of its hands.
"Double Thunder Break!" Tetsuya yells as Shin Great Mazinger points at Zeruel with both hands.
Lighting erupts from Shin Great Mazinger's fingers at Zeruel. At the same time, the Get Machines have recombined into Shin Getter 1.
"Getter Beam!" Ryoma yells, a green beam erupting from Shin Getter 1's head.
"This is the end! Final Dynamic Special!" Kouji yells.
The Kaiser Nova, Double Thunder Break, and Getter Beam slam into Zeruel, which lets out yet another inhuman shriek of pain before it's engulfed in an explosion.
When the smoke clears, only the upper half of Zeruel remains. It limply raises its remaining arm in an attempt to fight back, only for EVA-01 to walk over and stomp it in the 'face' before starting to tear it apart with its bare hands.
No one present is quite sure what to make of this scene after EVA-01 opens its mouth and starts biting into something in Zeruel's body, and when EVA-01 stops, it stands up, its front coated in blue and orange gore.
"Did...did EVA-01 just go berserk again?" Mira asks in confusion.
Tokyo, Surface
"Freezer Storm!" Kazuya yells as Daimos fires a cryogenic beam at a Zeruel copy.
At the same time, Dancouga and Dancouga Nova rush at another Zeruel copy.
"Double.." Shinobu starts.
"...Dancou ken!" Aoi finishes.
The two Dancougas proceed to slice the Zeruel copy into three pieces, which fall to the ground while leaking orange liquid.
In the distance, the Heavyarms Custom unloads a salvo of bullets and missiles into a Zeruel copy, which Riddhe finishes off by emptying a magazine from the Banshee's beam magnum into.
"Three left!" Otto Midas announces from the
Nahel Argama.
A burst of light catches everyone's attention, and Otto turns to see Combattler V and Voltes V standing over the dissolving remains of a Zeruel copy.
"Make that two!" Otto corrects himself.
The remaining two Zeruel copies suddenly stagger before falling out of the sky, slamming into the ground and starting to dissolve into orange fluid.
"Looks like they managed to kill the real one." Setsuna notes, the 00 Gundam sheathing a GN sword.
You are Mira Ayana, and you look upon EVA-01 with apprehension.
The Rune Gods of the Magic Knights drift closer to EVA-01, swords held at the ready in case it decides to attack them.
To everyone's relief, EVA-01 closes its mouth and goes limp a few seconds later.
RESULTS
Zeruel, the 14th Angel, is dead
EVA-01 has gained an S-2 Engine according to NERV, whatever that means
The Geofront sustained moderate damage
Central Dogma sustained moderate damage
Repairs for both of the above should not take very long
It seems appropriate to check on Shinji. Given the state of NERV HQ and what happened in the aftermath of the battle with Bardiel, NERV (specifically, Gendo Ikari) is not in a position to contest or protest this decision.
Pick up to FOUR from the following to see Shinji and the other EVA pilots:
[ ] Mira and the girls
[ ] Aoi Hidaka
[ ] Amuro Ray
[ ] Kouji Kabuto and Tetsuya Tsurugi
[ ] The Magic Knights (Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu)
[ ] Setsuna
[ ] Heero Yuy and Trowa Barton
[ ] The Getter Team
[ ] Noriko
You may also choose to not send anyone, but doing so will have consequences.
A/N:
If EVA-01 had managed to avoid taking significant damage throughout the entire fight, you would have been able to kill Zeruel without EVA-01 gaining and S2 Engine. Honestly though, I'm not sure how I where I would have gone from there for the EVA plot if that had happened. The Final Dynamic Special as portrayed here is a combination of how it's been executed throughout SRW over the years. Also:
Zeruel: Takes on a trio of Super Robots, one of which is basically a potential avatar for the force of Evolution itself, which is friends with the power source of the other two Super Robots.
Zeruel: *realizes it's technically a stagnant lifeform*
Zeruel: I've made a huge mistake.
Anyway, please vote, discuss, and critique!
