members on the WritersAlliance Mailing list (There's to many of you to

To see Gendo Ikari worried was a rare occurrence. No matter what the
situation, he always seemed to be in control, almost as if he had
planned it all. This is probably why his most recent comment bothered
Fuyutsuki.
"This is not good," Gendo said as he stared at the view screen.
"Seele's going to be in a fit over this," Fuyutsuki said bluntly.
"Right now, Seele is the least of my worries," Gendo replied. He looked
toward Misato. "How long before the Third Child can be in Unit-01?
Misato looked at Gendo, "Shinji's in no condition to pilot, sir."
"How long?" Gendo demanded.
"Is that... is that Godzilla?!" Asuka exclaimed. She stared out at the
monster in front of the Evas in disbelief.
Rei remained silent, staying focused on Godzilla as he stared down the
Evas. Neither part moved, each one anticipating the others' eventual attack.
Suddenly, Asuka cried out in surprise. Rei watched as Unit-01 was lifted
into the air and unceremoniously thrown into one of the decoy buildings. She
looked back at Godzilla, who hadn't even moved yet.
"Telekinesis," Ritsuko said as she watched the screen. "Not only has
the angel fused with Godzilla, its powers have been amplified!"
"The AT fields are going to be useless this time, aren't they?" Misato asked,
already knowing the answer.
"Yes, they're being neutralized by the one that beast is now generating,"
Ritsuko replied.
"Asuka, are you all right?" Rei asked.
"NO!" came Asuka's angry reply. Unit-02 began to climb out of the rubble
from the demolished building. "That monster's beginning to really tick me
off."
Asuka tightened her grip on the Progressive Knife and charged at Godzilla.
She reared back to stab the knife into the monster, but hit some sort of
barrier a split second before she met her target. "What the hell?! I'm
neutralizing its AT field aren't I?!"
Godzilla looked down at the knife. Somehow, he had stopped it, but he hadn't
even lifted a finger yet. He snarled and grabbed hold of the hand clutching
the knife.
It was another one of those metal creatures he had recently encountered,
except this one was red with four eyes. Godzilla reared back and punched the
four-eyed beast in its face, sending it staggering backwards.
The calling was stronger that it had ever been. Somewhere beneath the city
was its source. He had to find it, it was almost like an instinct.
Shinji cringed in pain as Unit-01 shot toward the surface. His back was still
heavily bandaged due to the burns. The fact that his plug suit was skin tight
wasn't helping any either. It was now making the bandages even tighter.
The Eva lurched to a stop as it reached the surface.
"Shinji, I know you're in pain, but you have to try and help the others,"
Misato's voice came over the audio feed.
"I'll try," Shinji replied. Unit-01 was released from the safety restraints
and stepped off the platform. Each step brought a wince of pain for Shinji,
but he tried to block it out.
The gray-haired boy smiled as Unit-01 activated. "Good, Shinji's here. Now
it is time." He closed his eyes and severed his connection to Unit-02.
He had used his powers to undo as much of Asuka's mental deterioration as
possible, but the rest would have to be her own doing. The air around him
rippled and the boy lifted into the air.
"We've just picked up another AT Field!" Makoto shouted.
"WHAT?!" Ritsuko exclaimed. "Where?!"
Shigeru typed hurriedly at his station. "Bringing up a visual!"
The screen switched views to show the gray-haired boy floating toward
the Evas and Godzilla.
"A boy?" Misato asked. "Who is that?"
"Kaorou Nagisa," Ritsuko said in disbelief. "The Fifth Child....."
Kaorou floated up between Godzilla and the Evas. He looked at Godzilla and
frowned. "You have caused far to much destruction for one lifetime already.
The people of this world could do without anymore."
"Who is this guy? Is he an angel?" Asuka asked.
Rei was about to reply when Unit-00 suddenly advanced toward Kaorou and
Godzilla. She tried to regain control of the Eva, but something was
manipulating it from outside.
Godzilla roared and tried to punch Unit-00, but his fist slammed into an
unseen barrier. Kaorou floated up to eye level with the monster.
"Trying to destroy a creature as destructive as yourself, you're almost
like a human," Kaorou said with a laugh. He then looked at Unit-00.
"Wouldn't you say so, Doctor Akagi?"
Ritsuko stared at the screen as Kaorou's voice came over the speakers.
He called Unit-00 "Doctor Akagi"? Of course.... it all made sense now.
The hatred of Rei, the attempts to kill Gendo, it was all connected. Her
mother had embedded her thoughts inside Unit-00.
Ritsuko closed her eyes. "I've been a fool....", she whispered to herself.
"The angel's extending his AT field around Unit-00 and Godzilla!" Maya
shouted. "He's reversing it inward!"
"But that'll destroy all three of them!" Misato exclaimed. "Eject Zero's
Entry plug, NOW!"
"I can't! The controls aren't responding!" Maya replied.
Kaorou sighed, "For the sake of this world's future, sacrifices must be
made."
"Why are you going to kill Rei?! WHO ARE YOU?!" Shinji demanded.
Kaorou looked at Unit-01 and smiled. "In another time, I was to be your
friend."
Instantly, Godzilla, Unit-00, and Kaorou were enveloped in a glowing
sphere of energy.
"IKARI!" Rei shouted.
Shinji tried to reach Unit-00 in time, but was to late. "AYANAMI!"
The explosion rocked the very base of TOkyo-3, and opened up the
Geofront to the surface. Buildings were leveled or completely destroyed for
a mile radius. Unit-01 and 02 stood a short distance from the explosion,
their outer layers buffering the pilots from the destructive force.
Shinji just stared out in shock and despair, "Ayanami...."
"Status?" Misato asked.
"No sign of the angels, Godzilla..... or Unit-00" Maya said solemnly.
"Send out the crews to search for survivors,' Misato said.
"If there are any,' Ritsuko stated.
Misato stared coldly at Ritsuko.
Ritsuko walked over toward the large entry plug and pulled out a scanner
from her hazard suit. "Hmmm, no radiation detected at all."
Strangely, the explosion had seemingly obliterated everything in the
immediate area where it had occurred, but here was Unit-00's entry plug
laying inside the Geofront. Ontop of all that, there was barely a scratch
anywhere on it. She opened the hatch and looked inside.
Shinji ran down the hospital halls as fast as he could. They had found
Rei, and she was still alive! She had survived after all! He slowed down
as he caught sight of her looking out a window. Her head was bandaged up,
as was her arm.
Rei turned to look at him. "Ikari, what are you doing here?" she asked in
her usual monotone voice.
"I came to see how you were," Shinji replied, blushing some. "I don't
see my father anywhere. I thought he would be here...."
"Commander Ikari stopped by earlier. I believe he wishes to be alone," Rei
replied.
"Erm, do you want me to give you some time alone?" Shinji asked, knowing
how Rei usually kept to herself all the time.
Rei looked at the window and thought for a moment. She then looked back
at Shinji and smiled. "No, I don't wish to be alone anymore."
Asuka picked up the phone, "Hello?"
"Asuka, there is something you need to see," came the voice on the other
end.
"Ritsuko?" Asuka asked.
Ritsuko walked up to the large security door in front of her. She slid her
ID card through the reader, but was refused access. She tried once more,
only to get the same results. She heard the click of a gun as she felt the
barrel pushed into the back of her head,
"It won't work without my password," Misato stated.
Ritsuko smiled, "Kaji's handiwork I presume?"
"Show me what's beyond here," Misato demanded.
"Only if they come as well," Ritsuko said, motioning off to the side.
Misato looked over to see Asuka, Rei, and Shinji. "Fine," she replied.
Shinji looked around the pale gray room. It was empty except for a few
scattered pieces of equipment. He then spotted a small bed near the center
of the room. A night stand was besides it, giving the room an all to
familiar appearance.
"It looks like my room" Rei said.
"You act like you've never been here before, Rei," Ritsuko stated.
"I... I never really noticed till now," Rei replied.
"Its not surprising that you arranged your room similar to this place,"
Ritsuko began. "After all, its where the light and water were combined to
create you."
"Create me?" Rei asked curiously.
Ritsuko smirked and continued walking. She lead the group further into
the complex, eventually arriving in a large storage room of sorts. She
walked to the edge of the balcony and looked out at what seemed to be the
skeletal remains of Evangelions. All of them had Unit-00's head, and had
the bone remains of their arms and spinal cord.
"Its a graveyard," Asuka said in amazement.
"This is the final resting place of the early Evangelion prototypes,"
Ritsuko stated. She looked over at Shinji, "Its also where your mother
disappeared. You remember that, don't you, Shinji?"
Shinji looked at Ritsuko, "My mother?"
Ritsuko nodded, "She was testing Unit-01 for the very first time, and then
poof, she's gone."
Misato pointed her gun at Ritsuko, "That's enough."
The group stepped into the darkened room, the only light coming from the
strip-lights running in a box pattern across the walls.
"What is this place?" Shinji asked.
"This is the room were NERV's Dummy Plug was created. Its also where we keep
Rei," Ritsuko stated.
"Where you keep Rei? But She stays in the apartment complex," Asuka said.
Ritsuko pulled a small remote from her lab coat. "The second Rei, yes,"
she said as she pushed one of the buttons on the remote.
Instantly, the room lit up, revealing a large tank of LCL surrounding the group.
Inside the tank there were many floating bodies that all looked exactly
like Rei.
"Ayanami?" Shinji asked, confused.
Simultaneously, the figures all looked up at Shinji. A Childlike laughter
seemed to echo in the room.
"What is this?!" Asuka exclaimed.
"This is the truth!" Ritsuko shouted. "The Dummy Plugs are nothing more
than soulless shells! They're just puppets waiting to house a soul and be
told what to do." She pressed another button on the remote and the figures
all began to disintegrate, turning the LCL a blood red color.
"What are you doing?!" Misato shouted as the echoing laughter died away
with the figures.
"Something I should have a long time ago," Ritsuko replied. She looked down
at the floor. "I've been a fool," she dropped the remote and fell to her
knees crying. "Just like my mother was."
Rei stared at the LCL tank, her face as expressionless as always. "This is
the truth to my existence? This is why I'm alive?"
Asuka looked over at Rei and back at the tank. She looked back at Rei
as she heard her softly begin to cry. Hesitantly, Asuka placed a hand on
Rei's shoulder. One thing she'd learn from all this was that sometimes
people do need the comfort of others. She looked over at Shinji, only
to see him standing with his back to the group.
Misato looked at the three Eva pilots, and then at Ritsuko. Was everyone
involved in with Eva destined have their lives destroyed? What was the
reason for all of this?

Author's Notes: If this chapter seems lacking, there's a
reason behind it. This one was to merely wrap up the cliffhanger
from the last chapter and show how the events of NGE would've
been altered due to it.
I had this typed up a long time ago, but just now got around
to uploading it. To all those who've been waiting, I apologize.
Part four... eh... Dunno when that'll be out, as my mind has turned
toward a new story idea I'm currently writing. Hopefully I'll be
able to get around to figuring out just what to do next.
