Ehm....this is correct...
But what I was trying to recall was what happened.
I know that Asuka tried to use Eva-02 to deal against the new EVAs
which the other NERV heads had sent to Tokyo to initiate the 3rd
Impact. She thought she had won, till she realised that those dudes
had the power to regenerate their body parts due to the presence of
the S2 Engines. If I never remember wrongly, EVA-02 ran out of
energy, and her EVA was eaten up by the bird-like EVAs, leaving her
in a devastated state.
Of course, Shinji in his EVA-01 manages to get above ground and
this was the part which the S2 EVAs were waiting for...to bind with
EVA-01, use the Spear of Longtinus (sp?) and initiate the third
impact...
And it failed lar....cos Shinji refused to be accepted into the
gigantic Rei...
