Chapter 32:

Cloud of Witnesses

THE ANOMALY HADN’T ESCAPED the notice of Nerv Japan at Hakone. The command center had already been buzzing with activity because of Yomotsu Hirasaka’s sudden acceleration. Its arrival had been hastened by several days. Eva-0.0 and Trois were still unresponsive, but Hyuga kept contacting her just in case.

“Anomaly detected in the space between Earth and Yomotsu Hirasaka.”

Although Trois’ unit wasn’t responding, it was still transmitting data to the command center. There were distortions in the image. An operator from the observation team called out her verdict.

“Displaying external cameras. Something is wrong with the sky!”

The vague statement failed to satisfy Aoba so he pulled up a feed from one of the cameras on the main tower. He soon understood why the woman was at a loss for words.

Clouds were rolling up from the dark blue sky and then disappearing, allowing the sun to shine its ultraviolet rays unimpeded. The moon, now a mere hundred thousand kilometers away, reflected this light, making the night side of the Earth as bright as day. At first, they were unable to distinguish where one celestial anomaly began and another ended, but then they noticed something else.

“Are those waves…in the sky?”

Ripples formed from the center of the giant moon, which moved outward.

“Did anyone see what was in those waves?”

The image was fuzzy, but eventually the spatial ripples stopped, and they were able to get a good look at what was happening. The image was upside down as if viewed through a giant lens, but it soon focused.

“Whoa!”

The black messenger was spinning his spear. Blood splattered all around him as he stood in the center of a massacre.

“Torwächter B!”

The black messenger was burning with the energy from his heart. His whole body looked like it was being consumed in flames.

“Is this footage from the bright side of Yomotsu Hirasaka?”

“We suspect the lens is actually the Longinus Ring!”

“And it’s floating between the Earth and Yomotsu Hirasaka!”

“It’s a lens?! But, optically speaking, it should be too large to filter any light…”

Hyuga stammered out an explanation for Fuyutsuki. His rationale was solid, but it didn’t explain the image.

“Could it be an optical illusion?”

“Their positions match with the data we received from Six!”

“Which means the unit engaging the black messenger is the U.S. Eva. It sure looks different from the one I saw in Mount Daikan Airport, though.”

Misato scratched her head in frustration. “Maya’s never here when I need her! Any news from the underground experiment team?”

“It’s been two hours since they cut comms.”

“What do you think, Fuyutsuki-sensei?” Commander Misato turned to Assistant Acting Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki for help.

The lens showed Torwächter B wielding the Lance of Longinus like a naginata. There was a large crack in his armor, which ran from his chest to his shoulder, but he looked…fuller than before.

“Is that a technical question?”

“No. What do you think of the lens? Who is it showing this footage to?” Misato examined the image. She looked at the cracks in B’s armor and gasped. “Wait…how is this possible?!”

“Enhance!” Fuyutsuki noticed it, too.
