    Waking up early, Dema-fa exited his bedroom and headed towards the kitchen.

    *I guess I should sweep up that glass.  I think over a decade is long enough to leave broken glass on the floor and a week since the others moved in,* he thought as he pulled out a dustpan and broom.  *The NERV people will be here later to fortify the place.*

    Dema-fa went to the hall with the broken windows.  He shook his head at the boards nailed over the window to keep the elements out.  Once he gathered the glass and disposed of it, he ran his hands along the boarded up window.

    "In a very real sense, this is where it started for me," he muttered.  "When that creature forced its way in to kill us, I could no longer deny that there was a world of monsters and demons out there."

    "Just what does that mean?"  came a voice. "And who else was in this house with you?"

    Turning, Dema-fa saw Misato standing there.  Dema-fa shook his head and then grinned wickedly.

    "Are you sure you want that answer, Misato?  Maybe you should wait until you know who I am or was before hearing my story."

    "Why?" Katsuragi asked.

    "It'll be more believable."

    Misato shook her head and replied, "Oh no, I'm not leaving here until I have at least a hint on what you are about."

    "Have it your way," Dema-fa said, with a shrug.  "Follow me."

    Curious, Lt. Katsuragi followed Dema-fa into the library.  As soon as he entered, Dema-fa went for the demon-head bust and picked it up.  Turning around, he placed the statue over Misato's head.  She looked like she was wearing a helmet that was meant for someone much larger than she.

    "What...," Misato began.

    "Just wait."

    A strange blue glow illuminated Misato's face as images and scenes were transmitted into her mind.  After a minute, Dema-fa removed the statue.

    "There Misato, you have your clue.  A recording of what once was."

    Collapsing onto a chair, Misato shuddered at the images that she had seen.  "Of what once was?  What is that?"

    Placing the stone demon-head back on its table, Dema-fa answered, "A record of the past.  Human hands did not sculpt this statue."

    "Then who did?" Misato asked, feeling a bit uneasy.

    "I think you have an idea on what did carve it."

    Misato was quiet and handed Dema-fa a card.  Taking the card, he looked at it.  On it, were the words NERV and Dema-fa's picture.  Flipping the card over, he saw a magnetic strip on the back.

    "That card marks you as one of our operatives," Misato explained. "Normally I would also hand you a folder explaining on what you should do in an emergency, but I have my doubts that you would follow it."

    Dema-fa grinned and stuffed the card in his pocket. "Plus, it's easier to keep track of me."

    Dema-fa picked up a small book and headed back to the kitchen.  Sounds and smells of cooking soon wafted into the library.  Misato ran a finger over the demon-head statue and recalled what she had just seen.

    "No.  That can't be," she mumbled.  *First, back to my old apartment and get that glass and find out who Mr. Lech is, I've been so distracted that I forgot to do so.  Then, I'll come up with a reasonable explanation for this. I think I'll grab something at NERV headquarters.  I need to know.*
-----
    Later in the morning, the three Eva pilots woke up and ate breakfast.  Shinji was a bit surprised that Misato had already left for work..  After the group had finished eating, they prepared for school.  As soon as they exited the mansion, they saw NERV personnel approaching.

    Dema-fa waved at them.  "Have fun remodeling the place while were at school."

    "Why are you going with us?  Your older than we are," Asuka demanded.

    "I work in your class as a teacher's assistant," came the quick reply.

    Asuka groaned. *Oh great.  I have to put up with this jerk at school and at home.*

    Dema-fa chuckled, having an idea what was going through Asuka's mind.
-----------
    A siren blared through the city, alerting the EVA pilots that they were needed back at NERV HQ.  Rei, Asuka, and Shinji ran to a waiting car as all but Dema-fa headed for the bunkers.

    Stretching a bit, Dema-fa said, "I think I'll take a walk."

    Toji yelled, "Are you nuts?  There's an Angel coming.  We have to get under cover."

    "No.  An Angel has been spotted.  It's not even near hear yet," Dema-fa replied, watching the NERV car pull away.

    Toji shook his head and went with the rest of the crowd to the bunker. Walking in the direction of NERV, Dema-fa hummed a tune.

    *I'd better get over there.  I want to see who it is.*

During his walk he saw the three Eva's launch and head out.  A bit later attack helicopters and jets went out and an uneasy feeling crept over him.

    "Something went wrong.  No time for subtlety."

    With that, he jumped on top of a telephone pole and took to the rooftops. As he made his way to NERV, he spotted a helicopter making its way back.  He jumped down to the ground in front of NERV HQ, startling a guard.

    "Hello.  Pardon me.  I want to check up on my friends.  By the way, I am authorized to be in NERV," Dema-fa said as he showed his card.

    Entering the compound, he listened for the sounds of activity.  He soon saw a group of people heading into a room.  Among them were the EVA pilots and Commander Ikari.  Without drawing attention to himself, Dema-fa joined them. The room that everyone was in seemed to be some sort of movie theater.

    Gendo said, "Lights."

    The lights in the room dimmed and a movie started playing.  On the screen were the three Eva's and a humanoid Angel.

    "Just wait here third child and wonder girl, while I take care of this Angel," Asuka said from inside Unit 02

    Unit 02 pulled out its prog knife and cut the Angel in half.

    "Ha.  Easy enough."

    The Angel halves shifted into humanoids, looking like twins in different colors.  The gold one grabbed Unit 02 and planted it face first into the ground.  Unit 01 charged in and the silver one grabbed it and gave it the same treatment.  The split angel closed in on Unit 00.  The gold half and silver half grabbed the EVA by the arms and threw it into a hill.

    "This is pathetic!"  Misato's voice came from the screen.

    *I agree," Dema-fa thought.

    Gendo once again said, "Lights."

    The lights returned to normal and the screen went blank.

    "What's the status of the Angel?" Gendo asked.

    Misato replied, "A strike with several N2 mines has rendered it inoperable for at least 72 hours.  I have an idea on how to defeat the Angel.  The three EVA units suffered minor damage and should be ready by that time."

    Standing up, Dema-fa walked over to the three pilots, grabbing a gun from a guard on the way.  Dema-fa slammed the gun's handle into Asuka's hand an forced her to hold it.  He used his strength to point the gun at Kaji.

    "Come on, Asuka shoot Kaji.  At least this way it'll be faster."

    Gendo held up a hand, halting any action.

    Stammering, Asuka asked, "What are you up to?"

    "Don't you want to see Kaji dead and have his lifeless corpse on your conscience?  The same goes for you Shinji.  Why don't you just shoot Misato? It'll be faster than waiting for the Angels to kill them."

    "I don't understand," Shinji quavered.  "What's with you?"

    "What's with me?  Nothing.  What's with the three of you?  You three are supposed to be a team fighting the Angels and protect all of humanity.  There is no time for these one-up games that you guys are engaging in.  If you can't learn to work together, we should just hand you some machine guns and let you kill all you classmates."

    Asuka struggled to free her hands, "Let me go, you creep."

    Dema-fa released her, while still holding onto the gun. He held the gun up in front of his face.

    "Your games will be the death of us.  Outside of combat, that's fine.  But when fighting the Angels, put it aside or we will give you guns and have you kill your friends," Dema-fa said while crushing the gun in his fist.

Dropping the crumpled gun to the ground, Dema-fa left the room.  Misato was tempted to go after him, but saw that Kaji had already done so.  Looking at Gendo, she asked a question with her eyes.

    "He was right," Gendo said.  "There is no time for those games.  If I had thought of it, I would have done the same thing myself."

    Misato turned away and led the children away. *I'll explain my plan to them and I'll have a talk with Mr. Lech later.*

    Before they left, Gendo said, "The Fourth Child will be arriving tomorrow morning.  His name is Kaworu Nagisa."

    "Understood, sir."
------------------
    Kaji came across Dema-fa leaning against a wall.

    "That was cold and almost got you killed.  Not to mention me."

    The black eyed boy looked straight at Kaji.  "And what happens if the Angels break through?  Everyone dies."  Dema-fa sighed and continued, "I'm probably going to be hated by all three now, but they have to understand that this is no game and the stakes are very real."

    Kaji studied the boy closer, and asked, "Who are you?"

    "A friend and protector of humanity.  Beyond that, someone very dangerous."

    "That's not much of an answer."

    Dema-fa's head snapped up.  "It's healing too fast."

    Leaving a stunned Kaji behind, Dema-fa took off to the EVA hangers.

    "What does he mean 'It's healing too fast'?"
------------
Streaking into the EVA launch bay, Dema-fa quickly examined the tree damaged Eva's

    "Purple and red are still out of it.  I guess the blue one will have to do."

    He quickly teleported inside Unit 00 and started it up.

    *Come on Akira, just think of it as armor that can focus your powers.*

    Misato's face came on the screen.  "Get out of there at one!  How did you get in there?"

    "Never mind.  Take a look at the Angel's status.  It's going to be up and running in a few minutes.  Right now the kids are in no shape for another combat."

    Maya's voice came from off camera.  "He's right.  The Angel is on the move. ETA to the city 5 minutes.  It'll be at least 10 minutes before we can get the others ready."

    "I guess we don't have a choice," Misato muttered.  "Launch Evangelion Unit 00!"

    With a blast of flames, Unit 00 was rocketed towards the surface.  Looking over the city, Dema-fa saw the Angel heading towards him.  He readied Unit 00's prog knife and waited.  As soon as the Angel was close enough, he guided the blue mecha to the attack.  He quickly cut the Angel into halves.  Before the Angel had time to shift, Unit 00 kicked one half into a wall.  The blue EVA grabbed the silver half and  did a pile-driver to it, giving it a taste of its own medicine.

In NERV, Misato watched the battle nervously.  *He's doing pretty good, but he doesn't know how to defeat Israfel.  Hopefully he holds out long enough for Shinji and Asuka to get ready.*

    Not concerning himself with what NERV's feelings were, Dema-fa grabbed the golden half and skidded it across the ground.  As soon as he threw the Angel half, Dema-fa guided Unit 00 to land on top of it and ride it like a skateboard.  He guided the makeshift board into an abandoned warehouse.  Unit 00 rolled back out of the building before it collapsed.  Rolling to its feet, the blue EVA back kicked the silver half that was trying to sneak up on it.

    Using the speakers, Dema-fa said, "Fun's fun, but it's time to end this."

    Unit 00 pulled two lamp posts out of the ground and did a spin catch with them.  Dema-fa waited for both the gold and the silver half or Israfel to emerge.  Once they did, he threw the posts towards them.  Each post drilled right through the S2 core of each Angel half.  Not satisfied with doing that, Dema-fa guided Unit 00 to clothesline both halves and send them skittering into the bay.  An explosion came from the bay and drenched the Unit 00 with water.

    Clicking on the radio, Dema-fa said, "Sorry to borrow your robot without asking, Rei.  But, I really didn't have time.  Pardon me for a second."

Dema-fa ejected from the Evangelion and dropped to his knees.  The NERV personnel that went to retrieve Unit 00 found him kneeling on the ground throwing up.

    *I think I'd better not try that again.  Not safe for my health."
---------------
     Somewhere Lorenz Keele was have a meeting with the other Seele members.

    Seph-05 said, "That was unexpected.  How could he pilot an Eva?  He is obviously older than 14."

    Seph 02 replied, "I don't know.  We have no clue as to who and what he is."

    "Could his presence threaten the Humanity Completion Project?" Seph-08 asked.

    Lorenz replied, "That is what we are going to have to find out.  An unknown element such as this Dema-fa must be accounted for and dealt with accordingly."
