"What?!" The news that Asuka and Misato had been attacked struck Shinji and Kaji like a thunderbolt.
Shinji immediately used Ultra speed to flash over to the NERV base.
When Shinji reached Asuka's hospital room, Mirror Knight was already waiting outside.
"Asuka!" Shinji was about to charge straight into the room when Mirror held him back with all his strength.
Shinji roared, his eyes red, "Let me in!"
"Shinji, please calm down!" Mirror forced Shinji down onto a hospital chair.
Zero's mind had been a tangled mess at first, too.
He finally managed to calm himself and asked Mirror Knight, his voice trembling slightly:
"Mirror, did you see who did this?"
Mirror's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "It was the Knuckle Aliens..."
Zero fought back his anger as he looked at Shinji.
"Those Knuckle bastards... they've done something this disgusting again..."
Judging by their strength, the Knuckle Aliens certainly ranked among the Space Garrison's most dangerous enemies.
Both Zero and his father, Ultraseven, had fought this species.
To weaker species, these beings who delighted in invasion were nothing short of demons...
But in the Land of Light, there was one warrior who understood the Knuckles more deeply than anyone else.
He was the legendary warrior of the sunset-Jack.
Only...
Because of his harrowing experiences with the Knuckles, Jack almost never mentioned them in front of others...
Zero had only learned about that incident from his father...

Just as Zero was recalling what he knew about the Knuckle Aliens, the operating room door opened.
The doctor who had been trying to save her stepped out, his eyes tinged with disappointment.
"Doctor, how is Asuka?!"
Shinji hurried forward to ask about her condition.
The doctor looked at Shinji, who was so concerned about his patient, his face full of guilt.
