The bunker door exploded outwards, the debris flying within centimeters of some unfortune fool's face while the train burst through.  A stalled car stood on the tracks amid the alarms, and the man halfheartedly raised in hands in distress before the train flattened the car, turning it into an inch high decoration on the tracks in a single instant while ten cars rammed across it, while the very lucky idiot simply watched in horror.<br/><br/>In one massive streak, the train flew out of the city.  "Get yourselves back into the protective cradles; we can't reset your synchronization, but we don't have enough power to keep you at full power either."  Major Mecci ordered, while the train headed through a tunnel to the intercept point.<br/><br/>On the highway next to the tracks, a line of tanks accelerated to their maximum speed, revving up their jet engines to keep the 25 ton tanks moving as fast as the deisel train at maximum throttle.  In the lead tank, a dark skinned man poked out from the hatch, speaking into a radio.  "NERV central command, this is Darius Wedge; Gold company reporting in."  Wedge said over the radio, leading his tanks alongside the train.  The team came out of the tunnel, where a vast swarm of Hornet VTOLs gathered around the train.  "Nerv central command, this is Alastair Biggs..."  Came a posh sounding british voice on the radio.  "Red squadron reporting in."  He said.  A moment later, the train passed through another tunnel, and was joined by even more Hornets on the other side.  "NERV central command, this is Katrina von Zeppelin; Blue Squadron reporting in!"  A young sounding voice said with enthusiasm, while the entire strikeforce got ready to mount the first battle between Evangelion and Angel.<br/><br/>In the geofront, Major Mecci looked back at his counterpart philisophically.  "They want to make sure we know what name to put on the monuments."  He said, noticing Gene Frederson open his mouth to speak.  "Guards, remove this civilian from the Geofront, and put him in a holding cell until he's needed!"  He said, while the guards grabbed Gene, and Mecci carefully turned off the audio connection to Maria's Evangelion.  "And while we're committing treason, have him lightly beaten."  Mecci added, while Gene just smirked.  Mecci flipped back the audio channel to Maria, curiously not commenting on Kelly's insubordination.  "Try to bring back as many of our people as you can, Captain Mathias.  You are in command of the conventional arm of this operation."   The Major said, while he brought up the holographic map of the situation.<br/><br/>"We will travel to the intercept point, on Gazardiel's path, setting up a defensive line against the creature.  It will have to emerge from the mountain to cross the pass, which is when we can attack and defeat this monster!"  Major Mecci said, transmitting tactical information of the beast breaking through the surface of the mountain before being engaged by a line of Evangelions and conventional forces.  "Your N2 reactors will provide the Evangelions with approxamately ten minutes of power.  Should the N2 reactors run dry, get back into the train on battery power, and the UN strategic defense forces will drop an N2 mine on the Angel, hopefully destroying it.  If that doesn't work, we'll repair and re-arm at Babylon to take another try at destroying the Angel."  Mecci concluded, while the final components of Mathias' strikeforce arrived alongside the train, and the vehicle finally braked at the intercept point.<br/><br/>The mountain was already red-hot, penetrated by a tunnel.  The train had stopped 35 decameters from the slope, while the tanks already fanned out into a line to get ready to shoot at Gazardiel when he pulled his way out of the mountain.<br/><br/><br/>(Operations director should assign 2 support worth of conventional forces; currently, there is a 3 strength tank mob on the scene, and a 6 strength Hornet VTOL swarm splintered into two 3 strength squadrons.)<br/><br/>(The Evangelion pilots will have 2 rounds to prepare before Gazardiel breaks out of the mansion and can be engaged.)
