Well, it took _some_ time, but I'm finally posting this. I won't even get
into how the idea for this fic come to existance, not to mention how it went
through a 479 degree turn to form what it is today. I hope you enjoy it.
Many thanks to Emilio Michaelov for prereading.
And now, on with the fic...

OPEN DATA FILE ON AYANAMI REI
Personal data file, Ayanami Rei.
Data Class: Odin
Name: Ayanami Rei.
Parents: NA.
Origin: III NERV Artificial Evolution Lab
Design: Yamamura.
Origin: Created by combining the leftover Guyver-infested DNA of Ikari
Yui, pure Guyver DNA and the DNA from samples derived from Adam. Abilities:
Possesses several of the Guyver's special abilities without the need for
actually calling for the unit. Unable to use the Megasmasher, sonic attack
or
the energy beam and the gravity control ability is severely reduced.
However,
increased strength, regeneration and endurance are still present, although
at
only 25x standard human, instead of the 100x of a traditional Guyver host.
Also, the subject is able to use armblades, just as a normal Guyver. The
only
weakness seems to be the control medallion. It is worthy noticing that the
subject should still be able to be infested by the armour and use it,
attaining the 250x standard human scores in physical traits. Created as the
first pilot for the Unit Eva, subject Ayanami is the only Children able to
use
the unit without the Guyver armour, though it must be noted, that the
synchronisation rates fall about 15 points down in such a case. Description:
The present Ayanami Rei is a... reformation of the original Rei, which was
killed by Akagi Naoko, computer specialist of Gherin. Though Ayanami
regenerated, a she suffered from severe psychological shock, which caused a
temporary shutdown of the memory and stopped her from feeling any emotions
for
a long time. Although her memory has been restored, she still suffers from a
severe personality disorder, seemingly unable to feel any emotions. This
probably can be changed, however it would require a lot of work and the
subject's co-operation. Currently, the subject is staying under the custody
of
Fukamachi Sho, NERV Sub-Commander and ex-host to Guyver Unit 01, Creator's
version.

We tried to take power than, almost twenty years ago. We failed. These young
people, inconceivable as it may seem, have been able to crush the power of
an
organisation lasting for over four hundred years! Only a few of us survived,
then, nearly powerless, for Arkenfel had fallen as well. Yet we tried again,
through our little puppet, Gherin.
We tried to awaken a creature of the Creators, a creature possibly more
powerful than Arkenfel himself...
We have failed.
Thus the Second Impact begun.
In the insuring chaos much of humanity has been destroyed. Many more of us
have
fallen as well...
But we have not been defeated... Not yet... We fight for dominance, even as
the
Creators send against us their new children... It appears they've finally
understood what monster's they've unleashed by creating humanity... By
allowing
the Guyver's to come to existence...
That is not important, however. We fight, and we shall win!
We were Chronos...
We are SEELE...
We will be victorious!
We will fulfil the Legacy of our Creators!!
We shall become new Gods!!!

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Legacy of the Creators
15 June 2015 12.00 The ocean, near the coastal area of Tokyo-2
A strange shape swam just under the surface of the water, swam through the
ruins of old Tokyo... Swam towards the new Tokyo-3... Towards the
Geofront...
At the place of the thing's destination, a powerful computer detected that
shape, detected the power it radiated and alerted it's users.
Within 10 minutes, all the military forces in the nearby area were ready to
fight the threat.
But just 1 minute after the alarm, a report landed on the desk of a tall,
dark
haired man. That man smiled, the light reflecting from his glasses giving
his
face an eerie look. The two people standing by his side smiled as well.
"It is starting again..." The man in glasses declared.
13.35 Outside Tokyo-2 Central Train Station
"A special state of emergency has been declared as of 12.30 for all the
citizens of the Kanto and Chuba regions surrounding the Tokai district.
Please
head for your designated shelters."
A teenage boy stood by the entrence to the train station and waited. He was
wearing a black shirt and pants of the same colour. A small silver pin, in
the
shape of a thunderbolt adorned his collar. His name was Ikari Shinji. And he
was getting quite impatient.
'Uncle Agito did say that there might be a slight delay, but this... Than
again... I'm not exactly sure I want to face father again...' He thought.
'And
now this alert... It's been on for the last hour, but nothing seems to be
happening...'
His thoughts were interrupted by the sight of a pretty young girl with blue
hair, dressed in some strange white suit, standing at a distance, staring at
him. As he took a step towards her, the whole area resounded with the sounds
of
nearby explosions. When he looked at where the girl stood just before, he
saw
noone...
'An illusion? Or a trick of the mind... Maybe that's why the streets were
evacuated... Some kind of mind influencing weapons?'
Another series of explosions that sounded in the distance brought him out of
his musings. As he turned towards their source, he gasped in awe and fear. A
gigantic creature, seemingly a combination of flesh and technology, was
making
it's way through the city, with several military helicopters attacking it
from
all sides. The creature seemed to ignore the war machines, occasionally
stopping to smash one or two of the nearby units.
'What is that? A Zoanoid? But they're extinct... And even if... Uncle Agito
said they were much smaller..."
13.40 Geofront command area.
"The target's designated course is being calculated. It appears he's heading
this way..." The MAGI's synthetic voice sounded. "Putting visual data on
screen
now..."
"So... They make their move now... It's strange, one would expect a full
scale
assault..." One of the aides men muttered to the man in glasses.
"They want to check the area first, Fukamachi. According to the data you've
received from Mirabilis, their last encounter with us terrified them
greatly...
They must've believed we'd simply die, useless products of their bio-weapon
experiments... If it wasn't for the Second Impact, they would've still
believed
it..." The man in glasses replied.
"Yes, yes, Ikari. We've been over this a hundred times. So our creators and
gods send their minions against us now?" The other aide, a brown-clad old
man
asked.
"Yes." Ikari replied as the screen finally came online, showing a huge
green-and-white beast with it's red powersource implanted clearly in the
middle. "It's confirmed. Their Angels are here..."
Episode 1 First Wave
13.45 Outside Tokyo-2 Central Train Station
"Energy weapons?" Shinji muttered in disbelief as the giant destroyed three
helicopters with a single lance of energy from it's arm. 'Used by such a
creature... How can it be?'
As he pondered, the creature seemed to rise from the ground, not exactly
jumping but somehow evading gravity...
'Gravity control?' This thought was quickly interrupted by the creature
landing
nearby, crushing a fallen helicopter with the resulting explosion sending
debris flowing everywhere. True to his training, Shinji dropped to his knees
and rolled to the side, trying to avoid the deadly pieces of metal, even
though
he knew it would be impossible to evade all of them...
Or rather it would, if not for the blue sports car that stopped just besides
him, the car's armoured shell protecting the young Ikari from most of the
damage...
"Hi! I'm sorry, have you been waiting long?" A pretty woman, her hair an odd
shade of purple, asked him.
His reply was cut short by another hail of missiles.
"Come on, get in! The army can't even hope to stop it, so why do they even
try?" She muttered.
"It? What is it?" He asked, dumbfounded, as he entered the car.
"You'll learn soon. Now hold on!" She ordered as the car sprang into
reverse,
barely avoiding being crushed by a giant foot.
13.48 Geofront Command Area
"The target is still operational. It's still heading towards the Geofront."
The
computer voice reported.
"The Air Defence Force can't even dream of stopping it! They don't have the
firepower!" One of the panicked personnel shouted to her microphone.
"Destroy it! Use everything we have! Mobilise all squadrons and use the
goddamn
big guns!" One of the generals present barked.
"Forget the budget! Our priority is destroying that thing!" Another added.
On the screen, the Angel could be seen, with several missiles, both large
and
small, impacting on it's surface. The crew of one of the bombers obviously
decided to take that budget remark to their hearts as they launched their
plane's main weapon, a huge missile, almost as large as the Angel itself, at
the monster.
However, when the smoke cleared, the creature was still standing there,
unscathed.
"How, goddamnit? That was a direct hit!" The third general shouted,
horrified.
"Tanks have been destroyed. Missiles and artillery have no effect... We are
running out of options." The first one summarised, furious. "Damn it all to
hell! We're using everything we've got, and it still has no effect!"
"It's using an AT-Field, isn't it?" The old aide asked Ikari.
"Yes, Fuyutsuki... Luckily, we have learned something from Arkenfel
ourselves..." Ikari answered.
"But these fools have no chances of breaking through it..." Fukamachi
remarked
silently.
All three nodded, slightly satisfied.
One of the red phones rang...
"Yes?" The first general replied. "I understand. We'll execute the plan at
once."
Fukamachi only shook his head in irritation. "It's useless. I'll go oversee
the
preparation of our forces..."
13.59, 20 seconds to time zero, outskirts of Tokyo-3
"What?" The woman, one Misato Katsuragi, remarked, surprised. "They want to
do
it now? Get down!" She ordered as she grabbed the boy and pushed him into
the
seat.
14.01, 1 minute after time zero, Geofront Command Area
"Yes! See the power of our N2 mine!" The third general shouted triumpanthly.
"Sorry, but your so-called "secret weapon" won't be getting used, Ikari" The
first one mocked.
"Shock wave approaching" The computer voice informed. "Visual data will be
available within 2 minutes."
14.02 Outskirts of Tokyo-3
"You alive?" Miasato asked, as she scrambled from her car.
"Yes... They used an N2 mine against that monster?" Shinji remarked,
surprised,
as he pulled himself out of the wrecked car. 'Shhhsh! If it wasn't for the
armour plating, we'd be done for!'
"Angel."
"Eh?"
"It's called an Angel. Sent by our creator to destroy us for our
disobedience,
or so the commanders say... If you ask me, it's just to satisfy their egos-
so
that they can feel as new, rebel gods, fighting against the old creator..."
'She's a bit like Agito-sama.' Shinji noted, smiling.
"Come on, let's get it moving... Push!"
She smiled as the car returned to it's normal position.
"Thanks."
"Don't mention it... Miss Katsuragi Misato?" He added, a little uncertainly,
as
he tried to remember the picture sent to him.
"Just Misato. I'm glad we've finally met, Ikari Shinji."
14.03 Geofront Command Area
"Sensors restoring... We have an energy reading in the area..." One of the
bridge crew reported.
"Visual data restoring... On screen now!" Another remarked.
"NO! IT CAN'T BE!!!" The third general shouted helplessly, as the nearly
undamaged silhouette of the Third Angel appeared on the screen.
"It was our last resort..." The first one muttered in resignation.
"It's some kind of a demon... Even the Hyper Zoanoids I've fought twenty
years
ago couldn't survive such a thing!" The second added.
14.08 Geofront Auxiliary Supply Road
"Yes, he's all right. His safety is our top priority, so can you send us an
express car train?" Misato asked the person she was phoning. "All right,
we'll
be there... Don't worry! I've volunteered to pick him up, so I'll make sure
he
gets there! Ja*!"
As she turned the phone off, however, her thoughts were on another matter
altogether. 'Damn it! What kind of work is it? I go to pick up one kid and I
have to get my car fixed, after it's been fixed last week? Damn it! And I
still
have some payments to go...'
"Excuse me... Misato-sama? Misato-sama?"
"Yes?"
"Why did they use a weapon as powerful as an N2 mine on that creature?"
"You'll learn when we get there... Hah, I thought for a moment that you'd
ask
about these accumulators..."
"Umm? Why should I? With an organisation such as NERV, it's clear that our
tasks have top priority..."
Misato sweatdroped. 'This kid is a bit to serious for his age...' She
remarked.
"And don't call me Misato-sama!"
"Excuse me!" He offered, apologetically. "I just figured you were a bit like
uncle Agito... Misato-san" 'Than again, maybe she isn't...'
14.15 Geofront Command Area
"As we expected, it's regeneration abilities are far over these of a
standard
Zoanoid." Fuyutsuki remarked.
"As we expected. It would be unpractical any other way... These were meant
as
supreme bio weapons after all..." Replied Ikari.
Their discussion was interrupted when the Angel fired an energy beam,
effectively silencing their observation units.
"And it can also learn from it's experiences... So they used a sentient life
form to create these..." Fukamachi added.
14.17 Geofront Auxiliary Car Elevator Entrance 7B
"The gates are now closing. Please stand back." The computer voice ordered.
"So, this is NERV? Agito-sama told me some interesting things about it..."
The
black-clad boy remarked.
"I hope it's nothing I'd have to kill him for." Misato replied, than
continuing, trying to ignore the ironic grin which appeared on the young
Ikari's face for but a second. "NERV is an organisation under the control of
the United Nations."
'Or the Humanity Committee, to be more exact... Please, Misato-sam...
Misato-san... Spare me the official propaganda.' Shinji thought. "So, what
does
my father do at NERV?"
14.20 Geofront Command Area
"By the decision of the United Nations, from time zero plus 10, the command
of
this operation is being entrusted to NERV branch one. Do not fail us." The
second general declared.
"Of course." Ikari replied.
"Ikari... We must admit that our weapons are useless against such target...
But
do you have weapons capable of destroying these things?
"That is the reason NERV was formed."
"We'll pray that you're correct. Dismissed." With that, the generals sent
their
command post to go down, and prepared to board their private jet. Obviously,
they were atheists...
"The UN have had enough... Even though they've already had their lessons
during
the Chronos war, they still believe conventional weaponry is the best..."
Fuyutsuki remarked.
"Yes... Fortunately, what we have now is the development of what was
actually
used to defeat Chronos..."
"You aren't going to..." The old man's eyes widened with surprise... "But we
don't have a pilot... And even if the EVA could actually accept a pilot, we
don't have the A-10 unit... Unless... You want to use Rei... Fukamachi will
not
allow it!"
"His opinion is, at this point, irrelevant... But don't worry... Our spare
is
just arriving... And you forget that we still have one free unit left..."
"No, you don't mean..." The old man whispered, terrified.
14.26 NERV Express Car Train
"So, are we going to see father now?" Shinji asked.
"Yes... Yes, I believe so."
'Father... Why call upon me now... After you've left me there... Uncle
Agito...
Why couldn't you come with me..." He unconsciously caressed the thunderbolt
pin
on his collar.
"A gift for you? Nice" Misato remarked. "Is it form a girl?"
"Its... a graduation gift of sorts... Only it's just one of two... The other
I'd get after I graduate, but I don't have many chances for that..." He
explained, some fond memories returning to him, along with a wave of
melancholy.
"I see... Say, did you get an ID Card from your father?"
He checked his backpack. "You mean this?"
"Yes... Here, read this." She said, passing him a book entitled "Welcome to
NERV"
'Great. 50% official propaganda, 20% secret propaganda, and some actual
data...
At least that was in the third branch version uncle Agito gave me to
decode...'
Shinji thought, as he accepted the book. "Am I going to work for him?"
"The commander? I suppose so..."
'So he's one of the "megalomaniacs" she mentioned... I guess the command
staff
aren't too popular... But, than again, what could I expect... I doubt he
sent
for me because he was getting lonely...'
A few moments later, his thoughts were interrupted for the n-th time that
day,
this time by the fascinating panorama that opened before him... The panorama
of
inner Geofront. "Wonderful... Just as Agito-sama said..." He whispered.
'This is
where they had their base during the Chronos War... By that lake...'
"Yep... Our little base, humanity's stronghold... The key to rebuilding the
world..."
Neon Genesis Evangelion: Legacy of the Creators.
Episode one: First wave.
15.00 Geofront Corridor 27A RED
"What on earth... Where is it?" Misato mumbled as she and Shinji crossed the
never-ending corridors of the Geofront. "Where the hell is Ritsuko?"
Shinji meanwhile scanned the surrounding halls. 'Not a bad place, but
hellishly
hard to defend... Agito-sama would have a fit if he saw this... Than again,
maybe he did... For all I know, this might be the remains of the old factory
he
mentioned...'
"I'm sorry, I'm just not used to this place yet..." Misato apologised.
"Don't worry. The later we see my father the better..."
"So... you don't get along with your father... Well, it's the same with
me..."
Ikari just looked at her, surprised...
15.10 Geofront Personnel Elevator 14
As the elevator reached the 30th level, the door opened, letting an
irritated
blond woman in. Misato merely sweatdroped while Shinji looked at the
newcomer
surprised. 'Who the hell wears a swimsuit inside a government military
installation? Even if it's covered by a lab coat...'
"Hey... Hello, Ritsuko..." Misato mumbled.
"Why are you wasting my time, captain Katsuragi?" The blond asked. "Aren't
you
aware that were short on both time and manpower?"
"Sorry..." Misato apologised.
"So... Is this the commander's son?"
"Yes, according to the Marduk Institute, he's been designed as the Third
Children..."
'Third what? Marduk Institute? Agito-sama never mentioned anything about
it..."
The boy wandered.
"Nice to meet you, Ikari Shinji." Ritsuko declared.
"Likewise..." He replied rather coldly after a moment...
"He's a lot like the commander, isn't he..." Misato whispered to the blonde.
15.12 Geofront Command Area
"Handle the things here... And get Fukamachi to the cage. I'll meet him
there."
Ikari ordered.
'Your first meeting after three years... I wonder if sending him to Zeus was
such a good idea...' Kozo Fuyutsuki wondered.
"Sub-Commander, the target has regained mobility." One of the bridge crew, a
short haired man named Hyuuga Makoto reported.
"Very well. Assume battle stations, level one..."
15.14 Second Cage Elevator 3
"Battle stations. Level one. Prepare for ground unit interception." The
MAGI's
synthetic voice resounded through the Central Dogma.
"So, how is Unit 01 doing?" Misato asked.
"It has undergone defreezing, but we've been unable to test is properly. The
Project is still under early preparation and the First has been unavailable
since her accident..."
"But does it really work?"
"We need a host to know that... And even so, the probability of activation
is
0.000000001%... The O-9 system, as we call it..."
'Host?' Ikari thought, surprised.
"So it doesn't work?"
"Don't insult me... It's "O" not "zero"."
"A little late for us to find out it's a failure..."
"We still have a few aces up our sleeves... But I fear standard armours
might
not stop the Angel..."
The elevator reached the top and the group, led by Ritsuko, entered one of
the
motor-powered pontoons resting nearby. As they crossed a lake of the
strange,
orange-pink water, the conversation continued.
"You want to send armours against that thing?" Misato asked, after a while.
"Yes. Sub-Commander Fukamachi is briefing some of our men. And, if it comes
to
that, we can use some of the subjects of the Instinctual Control Program...
Although I doubt Sho would like that very much..."
"Yeah... I don't know too much about the Program, _since you haven't been so
kind to keep me informed of it_, but I've heard rumours that he's strongly
against it..."
"Sorry, Misato. It's Odin clearance only."
"Forget it... But do you think they have a chance... These guys in the
armour..."
"If they can break through the AT Field... But I doubt that... All right...
Were here."
Here was the end of the lake and a staircase leading to another hallway.
When
they entered, the door closed, leaving the group in total darkness. Then the
lights were on, and Ikari Shinji found himself standing face to face with a
huge
purple machine, it's yellow eyes looking straight at him, as if
expectantly...
"It's... Is it some robot?" He managed to stutter.
"Almost correct. It's actually a biological mechanism, derived from the
Guyver
armour an it's Guyver Gigantic addition... Developed into the first
synthetic
life form using the techniques found in the database of one of the leftover
ships of the creators... And the database of the Ark, once created and kept
by
Chronos in the Dead Sea... That synthetic creature is surrounded by
something
rather similar to the Guyver Armour and thus is created the Unit
Evangelion...
Humanity's last line of defence against our creators... Battle-purpose
Humanoid
Supreme Bio War-Machine - Artificial Human/ Guyver Hybrid Evangelion."
"Oh... Than I doubt it's in one of these..." He mumbled as he threw the
instruction book away. "So... This is what my father has been working on, is
it?"
"Correct." Came the voice of Ikari Gendo, came from the observation point
several meters above them.
"Heh... So this is what you wanted of me... To pilot this... This thing..."
Shinji asked bitterly. 'He's got to be crazy if he thinks I'll do it...
After
all these years, he only sees me as a pawn in his game.
"Correct again... Commander Makashima of the Third Branch mentioned that
he'd
be observing how you'll manage..."
'Agito... Agito-sama wants me to do it?'
"Yes." Gendo replied, as if he heard his son's thoughts. "Yes, he says that
he
want's to know what you've learned in his group..."
'Agito-sama... If you want me to... But... I... Agito-sama!' Shinji
thought.
"Using Agito again, eh?" A weary voice entered the discussion. A tall man,
dressed in a black suit, the same aide who had earlier accompanied Gendo,
entered from the side, with a pretty teenage girl with blue hair using him
for
support. The girl wore some kind of a white suit/armour, similar in a way to
a
Guyver armour. However, unlike a standard armour, her arms and her face
weren't
covered in it. One of her arms and a part of her face were however covered
in
bandages. Said face showed no emotions.
"Ah, Fukamachi. And you've brought the First. Are the Land Dragons ready?"
"They're ready for action. They'll cover the Eva as it deploys." He shot a
hostile glance at Shinji. "So... You're Agito's student... It's only fitting
for the Third Children to be guided by Unit III... Listen to me: do well, or
Rei here will be forced to go instead of you... And she's in no condition to
do
such a thing... Do I make myself clear?"
Shinji meanwhile could only stare at the girl. 'She's the one I've seen this
morning... But she wore a little different suit... And she wasn't wounded...
Did
she get hurt during the battle?'
"Shinji-kun? I know she's pretty, but it's not a time for that..." Misato
whispered to him.
"Huh... Yes... Yes, of course..." The young Ikari mumbled...
"Very well..." Fukamachi Sho hardly seemed satisfied... "Prepare for the..."
He
was interrupted by his communicator beeping. "Damn it! It's here! I'm going
to
the Dragon's launch area! You, boy, hurry! The lives of these people are
depending on you!" He turned to the girl accompanying him. "Rei, I'll send
over
somebody to help you get back... Don't strain yourself, your wounds haven't
regenerated yet..."
'Regenerated?'
"Yes." Came the reply, while the girl's expression never changed...
Nodding, he helped Rei to one of the side barriers and took off running
himself.
"Very well than... Dr. Akagi, take my son and get him connected to the
unit..."
Gendo ordered.
"But, Commander, we don't possess any units at present..." She protested.
"Artificial Development Laboratory 5... You have my permission..." Upon
hearing
these words, she paled.
"You can't mean... It's not possible to use it..." Her protests were
interrupted by a nearby explosion. The whole structure shook.
"Damn! It's found us!" The older Ikari swore, just as another explosion
shook
the whole Geofront, with a few buildings falling from the roof and onto the
cave's floor... One of the buildings fell dangerously close to the Central
Dogma. The resulting shock caused everyone on the walkway to stutter and
fall,
with Rei falling onto her bandaged arm, her normally expressionless face
temporarily filled with pain. It also caused a few ceiling lamps to be
ripped
from their places and start falling towards the very people on the bridge.
Both
Shinji and captain Katsuragi noticed the lamps falling down and jumped, one
to
avoid them, the other to protect the first. But before the lamps could reach
the walkway, a huge purple hand cut through the water and formed a
protective
roof above the young Ikari. At the same time, one of the beepers in
Ritsuko's
coat started to ring.
"No..." She whispered, visibly pale. "It can't be... It's becoming active
again..."
"It's calling for him, isn't it?" Whispered Gendo, also visibly paler. "It's
trying to awaken... Get him to the Development Lab, now!"
Shinji meanwhile made his way to the fallen blue-haired girl, whose face was
finally showing some emotion - pure agony. He knelt by her side and tried to
help her move her weight from the damaged arm... He was partially
successful,
but during this action, some of the bandages fell off, revealing her
damaged
arm. 'I... I can't run away...Not now, damn it!' Shinji thought, fighting
his
revulsion as he saw the skin of the damaged arm, which was ash grey and
inhumanly twisted, as if it's been bitten by some acidic fangs... 'But...
What
could cause such damage?'
"Shinji!" Misato's voice sounded. "You have to go now! I'll stay here with
Ayanami, you go with dr. Akagi! With Ritsuko!" She added in reply to his
surprised gaze.
He nodded and followed the scientist, relieved to get the image of Rei's
deformed arm out of his mind.
"So... What do I need to do in order to... To pilot that thing?" He asked
after
a while.
She smiled. "You need a Guyver unit."
He stopped dead in his tracks.
"A... A Guyver? But they're... Agito-sama has one... Unit-02 was destroyed
with
Lisker... And Unit-01 was... damaged..."
"Don't be silly. If we managed to create an EVA out of Guyver material, do
you
think we would be unable to create the units themselves? It's not easy, of
course... But, even so, all our artificial units have been used to form the
present division of the Land Dragons..."
"Than... How can I get a Guyver unit?" He asked, than his eyes widened in
rationalisation. "No! You can't mean..."
"Guyver unit 01, the same one Sho Fukamachi found over twenty years ago..."
"No! I won't!!! I won't put that thing on... How many hosts has it killed
already?!"
"Depends on how you count. Anyway, you can still decide. You can refuse,
than
we send the _wounded_ Rei to do battle and send _you_ back to Makashima. I
wonder how _he_ will react to your cowardience?" She mussed innocently.
His fist impacted with the nearby wall. "Damn you! I'll be your host, and
your
pilot!" He shouted furiously. "Don't you dare bring Agito-sama into this!!!
Don't you dare make him think anything bad about me!"
"Good. Now let's waste no more time."

"Welcome, Ikari Shinji... Welcome to the Artificial Development Laboratory,
Guyver Research Area..." Ritsuko declared. "Go on in... It should be waiting
for
you... I suppose Makashima explained to you what you should do..."
He nodded grimly, than entered, the armoured door shutting before him. For a
few moments, all he could see was coolant vapours coming from the nearby
ventilation shafts. He took a few hesitant steps forward, and than he saw
it.
The control medallion was hanging in the air, with pieces of some metallic
substance located all around it. The strange grey ooze from which the
parasite
was formed was hanging all around it, like huge tendrils, spread between the
laboratory's walls, going around the various computers and testing
equipment,
slipping through the ribs and bones of the bodies lying on the floor in
several
places. The whole thing was pulsating, as if it had a beating heart... He
was
almost ready to believe it recognised him and beckoned him closer...
"So... It's you... Mother... You've already taken my mother away from me...
So
now you want me as well?" He shook his head angrily. "Very well..." He took
a
step forward, his arms spread wide. "I'M HERE!" Another step. "TAKE ME!!!!"
As if on command, the pulsating mass lunched itself a him, the grey tendrils
surrounding his body, melting against it, than through it. He trashed around
the
lab, smashing the equipment all around him as every pore in his body was
being
defiled by the substance. He fell to his knees as he felt it reach his
neural
systems... His hand rose once again, throwing a computer monitor from one of
the desks, and than fell to the ground...
Several silent minutes passed.
Finally, a pale blue shape stirred on the floor. It slowly rose, it's red
crystalline eyes shining menacingly. The unit slowly walked towards the
door,
it's sensors detecting a potential enemy... no... a potential target... on
the
other side. A hissing sound was heard as the armblades sprung from their
places...
Akagi Ritsuko had almost given up hope after all the waiting. 'It appears we
were wrong... Just another victim to the parasite...' Her thoughts were
suddenly
disturbed by the sound of reinforced steel being cut like paper, a sound one
would certainly find fascinating as long as one wasn't the person protected
by
said reinforced steel. What remained of the door was ripped apart as a
large,
blue shape stepped out of the lab, it's armblades shining in the dim light
the
corridor lamps provided.
'No... It's a berserker... We've only summoned forth our own deaths...'
Ritsuko
thought, as she took a few steps back, horrified...
The armour, however, stopped.
"Dr. Akagi... What now?" Shinji Ikari asked, now fully in control of the
unit.

Voice One: So, are you certain of this?
Voice Two: Yes... I believe it is the only choice. Since her death, I can't
get
through him... I'm not even sure I desire to... /Noise/ Too many things have
lost their meaning since than...
Voice One: Very well... I'll take him and prepare him... The North America
Base
should be ready soon, and, until than, I'll keep him with my private unit at
our
old US base...
Voice Two: So, you're still keeping the Thunderbolt active, eh "Zeus"?
Voice One: Yes /Noise/ It's proven rather useful... I'll pick him up
tomorrow,
than.
"Damn!" The Observer sweared. "This is all useless..."
Voice Two: ...... know how to take care of him?
Voice One: Yes... After all, I was raised by an adoptive father as well...
Genzo himself raised me to be brilliant, to be strong... and not to care. It
turned out to be his undoing. I shall not make the same mistake.
Voice Two: Very well... But we must be weary of the old men... They're
growing
more and more paranoid since Adam's awa
