Standard disclaimers and all C&C appreciated.


	As alarms were blaring throughout NERV, Misato and the two Eva pilots 
rushed to the command center.  Dema-fa, on the other hand, followed them at 
a leisurely walk.

	"What's the situation, sir?" Misato said, as she came running into NERV HQ.

	Gendo waited until Shinji and Rei had entered before talking.

	"An unidentified object has been seen in the sky, and it is heading this 
way.  There is a very high probability that it is the fifth Angel.  Rei, I 
want you to try to synch with Unit 00.  We might need it.  Shinji, I want 
you to be ready to launch in Unit 01."

	"Before you go, put up that force field that your robot has,"  Dema-fa 
interjected as he sauntered into the command center.  "It might save you 
from a lot of pain."

	Everyone whirled to face the strange teen.

	"What do you mean by that?"  Gendo asked, felling a bit unnerved by this 
boy.

	Dema-fa smirked as he replied, "Very simple, Genny.  You're at war with 
these beings.  They're not going to just let you take pot shots at them 
without fighting back.  They might even be able to detect a hostile force 
approaching."

	Gendo Ikari silently fumed at being called 'Genny', but the advice that 
Dema-fa had just gave was sound.

	Ritsuko asked, "How did you know about the AT fields?"

	"Is that what you call them," Dema-fa said.  He shrugged and answered 
impudently, "I saw you guys dump that bomb on that first Angel that 
attacked.  It used a force field to repel most of the attacks.  And 
considering it was defeated by the purple robot, I made the logical 
conclusion that your robots have force fields."

	"They are Evangellions or Evas, not robots," Ritsuko stated.

	Dema-fa shrugged and said, "We're getting off the subject at hand. Or, are 
we just going to let that Angel get close to us."

	Gendo, realizing he had lost control of the situation, quickly barked out 
some orders, "Rei head with Ritsuko and get Unit 00 ready.  Misato, take 
Shinji and have him ready to pilot Unit 01."

	Commander Ikari waited until the other had left before confronting Dema-fa.

	"As for you, do not undermine my authority again."

	The teen looked Gendo straight in the eye.

	"What happened to you, Genny?  You used to be so full of cheer and 
helpfulness.  Now, you treat your own son like dirt."

	"What do you know of me?" Gendo demanded as he faced Dema-fa.

	"That you used to be a good person."

	Dema-fa turned and walked away, leaving Gendo momentarily stumped.  After a 
few seconds, Gendo muttered under his breath.  He was used to being in 
control and didn't like the fact that Dema-fa wasn't under his control.  For 
a moment he debated on sending any information about Dema-fa to Seele or 
not.  He came up with two very good reasons to do so.  If Dema-fa was a spy 
from Seele, then sending in the information would convince Seele that he was 
still following their agenda.  If he wasn't, then Seele would spend some 
time and resources tracking down who Dema-fa really was and would allow NERV 
to not be as closely monitored.  And if they were lucky, find out something 
that could be used to control Dema-fa.
--------------------------------
	In the cockpit of Unit 01, Shinji was preparing himself for launch.  He 
went over the recent meeting between his father and his new friend.  He felt 
a bit envious of Dema-fa.  This was a person who had a lot of self 
confidence and enjoyed life.  While trying to form a fist with his right 
hand, Shinji sighed and wondered if he would ever have the courage to 
confront his father.  A radio crackled to life in the cockpit.

	"Unit 01, are you ready for launch?  Unit 00 is standing by if need be."

	"Err, yes.  I'm ready," came Shinji's not to convincing reply.

	Maya shook her head and wondered if Shinji would ever be ready.

	"Remember deploy AT field before launch."

	"Okay."

	Unit 01 was shot up the Eva catapult to confront the fifth Angel.  As the 
giant mecha headed towards the surface, a slight shimmering of red 
surrounded it.  Once Unit 01 reached the surface, the diamond like Angel 
fired a positron blast at it.  Unit 01 was knocked back through the launch 
elevator as the energy bolt struck the Evangellion's AT field.  Shinji was 
hard pressed to keet the field up as he and his mecha were being bounced 
around like a baseball being hit by a fire hose.  Inside the NERV command 
center, people were in a scramble in trying to give as much information to 
Major Katsuragi as possible.

	"Ma'm, the Angel started building power up before Shinji even had his AT 
field up."

	"Unit 00 is standing by, shall we launch?"

	"Conventional weapons standing by."

	Misato barked out, "Have the closest mortar fire at the Angel.  Hopefully 
it will give Shinji enough time to get out of there."

	"Understood."

	Maya spun around and said, "Major, something is happening to the Angel."

	"What?"

	"I don't know?"

	Misto turned to the viewscreeen and saw that the Angel was glowing blue or 
rather part of it was.  The part that was glowing was nowhere near the 
positron apature was.

	"What the hell?"

	The Angel broke off shooting at Shinji and started firing wild blasts down 
at the ground.  It was apparent from its balst, that whatever it was 
shooting at was hiding underneath it.

	"What is going on?" Misato asked as the blue area started getting more 
intense.
-----------
	Looking up through an open manhole cover, Dema-fa was staring at the fifth 
Angel.  He was smirking, since the Angel was unabel to hit him in the sewer 
he chose to launch his attack from.  Raising his glowing blue hands, he 
intisfied his attack.

	"That has always been your problem, Ramiel.  You think you have the perfect 
defense and offense, but fail to consider an attack that uses your own body 
as a shield."

	Dema-fa's hands flared brightly once as he shoved his hands towards Ramiel. 
  He nodded in satisfaction as he saw the blue energy engulf the fifth 
Angel.

	"Your shield is gone.  I'll let Shinji do the rest," Dema-fa stated as he 
slowly faded away.
-----------
	Back at NERV HQ, Misato was stunned at the reports she was receiving.  
Apparently, whatever that blue energy was, it had completely destroyed the 
Angel's AT field.  The mortar fire that she ordered srtuck the Angel and 
blew a big hole in the diamond.  A slight flickering from the positron 
slash, showed that the artillery fire must have damaged the Angel's weapon 
systems.  She saw Unit 01 struggling to its feet.

	Misato yelled into the radio, "Shinji, the Angel's AT filed is down.  Get 
to a weapons bunker and shoot it down."

	Shinji didn't bother to answer as he rushed to a building.  Grabbing one of 
the rifles there, he turned and fired several rounds into the diamond.  
After a few seconds, the fifth Angel wobbled and fell to the ground.  The 
remains rolled and came to a stop with the two mortar holes on top.

	Shinji radioed in, "Mission accomplished."

	Back at the HQ, Misato was thinking to herself, *Yeah, mission 
accomplished.  But, what brought down the AT field and distracted the Angel? 
  Dema-fa?  No. The test results showed he was not an Angel.  There is no 
way he could do something like this.  Commander Ikari is not going to like 
this report.*
-----------------------
	Back at Misato's apatment, Dema-fa had faded into his room.  He looked out 
the window and saw the smoking remains of the fifth Angel. He snorted as his 
smile faded.

	"Kind of ironic.  Here I am, a person merged with a Demon, fighting to save 
humanity and the Angels are trying to destroy it."

	Dema-fa sighed heavily as he thought on words said by a demon by the name 
of Sirene.

	"No matter what happens to the rest of humanity, when I die I will go 
straight to Hell.  The price I paid for merging with Amon.  Oh well, at 
least I will enjoy myself until that day comes."

	Dema-fa's smirk came back as he thought about Seele.

	"Those miserable old bastards must be having fits at the moment.  If I read 
Gendo right, they will soon send someone to figure out exactly what I am.  
Let the games begin."
