In the wake of Second Impact, a dying god seeks to prolong her life by joining with a mortal, but she gets more than she bargained for when she chooses Kyoko Zeppelin Soryu. Years later, however, Kyoko gets a second chance at life as a result.
Superwomen of Eva 2: Electric Return
by Mike313 is the most obscure entry into the Superwomen of Eva series yet.
When Second Impact causes the Lords of Order and the Lords of Chaos to begin dying off, two of their number decide to defy this fate, each merging with a mortal to pass on their legacy. The Lord of Chaos Kestrel merges with an unborn Angel, and the Lord of Order Kismet merges with Kyoko Zeppelin Soryu. Years later, the core of Evangelion Unit-02 cracks, and a Strange Visitor emerges from it, with no memories of who it was, but a strong desire to help a young redheaded girl at the end of her rope.
Tropes:
- Despair Event Horizon: Asuka reaches this point after it's discovered she can't synch with Unit-02. She's saved both physically and emotionally by Strange Visitor.
- Driven to Suicide: Asuka tries to jump off a building after Unit-02 is decommissioned.
- The Empath: Strange Visitor gets a pain in her gut whenever someone is expressing negative emotions that indicate they're in trouble.
- Fusion Dance: Kismet merges with Kyoko in the opening. Years later, they become Strange Visitor as a result.
- Ironic Fear: Strange Visitor is terrified of being shot at. Later on, she takes several pieces of crystal shrapnel and is unaffected beyond some brief pain and panic.
- Lightning Can Do Anything: NERV tries to repair Unit-02's core (and subsequently wakes up Strange Visitor) by running an enormous amount of electricity through it.
- Loss of Identity: Kyoko's memory is more than a bit spotty. Understandable, considering how many times her mind's been shattered and clumped back together again in canon, never mind the stuff that happens in the fic.
- No-Sell: Kestrel and Strange Visitor can both keep wailing on each other in perpetuity and never get tired. Just like the Lords of Order and Chaos have been doing since forever and an age.
- Refusal of the Call: Strange Visitor actively ignores her empathic alarm that someone is in trouble, after the first time she saves a group of people out of fear. That is, until Asuka gives her what for.
- Roaring Rampage of Rescue: The climax is, with few breaks or reversals, one long scene of Strange Visitor pummeling Kestrel for daring to harm Asuka.
- Runaway Train: Strange Visitor's first—and only—in-story incident of saving bystanders is stopping one of these.
- Shock and Awe: Strange Visitor is apparently made of electricity. She can also sense it, including bio-electric fields, and manipulate it, which include electromagnetics.
- Shout-Out: How much power does an EVA's core need to get going? 1.21 gigawatts.
