EVANGELION:ULTIMA
An Evangelion Fan Fiction
by Wayne S. Rossi
--------------------------
Note: I love the TV ending to Evangelion. I think that the movies are
quite good, but I hate them in the same very personal sense that I hate
Ikari Gend�. This starts at the beginning of End of Evangelion.
There's already been a meeting. Notably, Shinji did NOT whack off over
the unconscious Asuka.
I'm fully awayre that Eva's not about romance, or the Evas. However, I
try to stay pretty much in character.
Neon Genesis Evangelion belongs to Gainax, and American rights belong to
ADV and Manga for the TV show and the movies, respectively. This is
intended as an original fan fiction based on the movies, and is not a
challenge to the copyright of any of those products.
Sit back and enjoy the show.

EVANGELION:ULTIMA
Episode 1
Puppets and Strings
--------------------------
They were trying to hack the Magi.
NERV was in an uproar. SEELE was trying to acces its Magi
supercomputers. Akagi Ritsuko was brought in from her cell.
It was stopped quickly.
A Japanese Strategic Self Defense Force battalion was nearing NERV
headquarters. They were going to try to invade. Ikari Gend� watched
dispassionately, resting his face against his interlocked hands, white
gloves in sharp contrast to his orange glasses.
"Inform all NERV personel to abandon the corridors and ready their gas
masks. Block all outside flows into this room. Begin NERV automated
self-defense."
The huge screens showed the would-be invaders. The first group fell
down in a hacking, coughing fit, dying shortly from a cloud of poison
gas. The next group was almost entirely in the compound when the
sprinkler system started--and a steady rain of liquid fire came down
upon the JSSDF troops.
Every entry corridor was filled with fire, death, and screaming.
Katsuragi Misato looked on in terror. "Get Asuka into her EVA and the
lake! It's not safe."
Ikari just smiled at her concern, knowing what trick SEELE was about to
try.
--------------------------
A few hours later, all the JSSDF forces were slaughtered by Gend�'s
deathtraps at the entry. Every member of SEELE was actively fuming. As
a few remote bombers tried to destroy EVA-02, Asuka was deep in thought.
Then, EVA-02's head moved up.
Its foot shortly came down on the would-be destroyers of the monstrous
being.
Then nine Evangelions on the wing flew down behind it.
--------------------------
Misato cried out. "Dear GOD!"
Fuyutsuki was slightly more rational. "The production series are
functional?"
In the control room, Gend� alone was level-headed. "Deploy the Terminal
Defense System."
Misato flipped back the cover of a switch and pressed it. Gend�
proceeded in kind, grinning in just such a way that made him seem less a
man and more a character from an old morality play.
Maya read something strange. "There's an explosion the equivalent of
several N2 Mines not far from where Unit 02 is..."
No one heard.
There was an eleventh Eva on the screen.
--------------------------
With a loud explosion, a Sea of Dirac opened behind the Eva series. Out
of it stepped an Evangelion, similar in almost all but head to Unit 02.
It was white, with a head that had angular features and a series of
spikes that were brushed back like hair from each temple.
It calmly took a long, straight progressive blade attached to a spear
and plunged it through the nearest of the Eva series. It continued to
cut, splitting the horrid Evangelion in half. Asuka clearly got the
picture, and the two began to rip and tear at the Eva series.
Within two minutes, EVA-01 had appeared, and the three made short work
of the Eva series--not even the dummy plugs remained.
--------------------------
A full minute later, as the Evangelions went to go back to the cage,
someone in the control room managed to speak. No one remembered who.
"What just happened?"
Gend� smiled wryly. "Evangelion Units 01, 02, and 04 destroyed the Eva
series."
"Unit 04?" A number of shocked voices went up.
Ikari calmly continued. "You will treat Unit 04's pilot as you would
any of the other Children."
The Commander then lowered from sight.
--------------------------
Ikari Gend� now sat in the center of a room. He was surrounded by black
monoliths, each marked with SEELE and a designate number.
01 spoke. "You have become insolent, Ikari."
Ikari replied. "You're the ones who tried to have me killed."
03. "You know our authority, Commander."
"And I believe I have shown mine."
02. "You have destroyed the schedule."
"I'm well aware of that."
01. "You realize that you are hereby removed from command."
"Somehow, I don't think so." Gend� was amazingly calm as he was raised
from the SEELE conference room.
--------------------------
Rather than go on forever, I'll end it there 'til Episode 2. Short and
sweet, I hope.
Why did things turn out like they did so far? Well, I wanted to make
Gend� in control. SEELE thinks they're one step ahead, but it's just
WRONG to let NERV get caught unawares like that. Hence, Gend� has
already provided for this contingency. Hence, the JSSDF gets
slaughtered.
More on EVA-04 next time. Just know the basic idea was to let Gend�
have an Eva up his sleeve to use as he wished.
