Bardiel's tale or he's not such a bad guy
Quincy007
I don't own Evangelion.
He made the Eva snarl as he put the
red unit to rest. Pitiful excuse for Adam. If the true angel were here, he
wouldn't. He knelt the Eva and it sighed at the beating on the entry plug. It
vibrated through him making for a very annoying presence
Knock it
off. They can't save you.
"Goddamnit!
You stupid piece of shit! Why don't you just let me go!?"
The Eva
needs a pilot to move. I'm slowly reconfiguring it to not require you, but that
takes time you ninny! Now stop beating the entry plug before you make your
knuckles bleed!
Bardiel
flipped the red Eva over and sighed again. He touched the side, Sorry
kid.
He felt the
flare of emotions and knew his message was received. The entry plug shot out
and Bardiel caught it. He gently set it down on the Eva. Standing Eva-03 up Bardiel started in towards NERV.
"Why are
you doing this?"
You
wouldn't understand. He pushed some power
lines up and ducked under them.
"Try me. I
can be understanding."
The Eva
snorted, Excuse me if I don't believe you.
"Fine I'll
just start kicking the Entry plug."
All
right! I'm here to rescue Adam who is
buried under Central Dogma in NERV headquarters. I'm Bardiel, the 13th
angel.
"Touji
Suzuhara, Fourth Child."
It's a
pleasure. Now the difficult part is the Evas. They pretty much stop anybody
using any means necessary. The red one-
"Unit-02."
Thank
you. Unit-02, was easy, but that was because she doesn't open herself to her
Eva, like you did. She treats it like a doll, and the Eva only responds because
the soul understands her suffering. But…it will not always be like that.
"Asuka
treats her Eva like a doll, eh? Figures."
Bardiel
looked down and saw he had almost stepped on a house. Oops. This is common
of her behavior?
Touji
sighed. For being insanely powerful, this guy knew nothing. "Yea. She acts
superior to everybody, she's even rude to the other pilots. Especially
Ayanami."
Ayanami?
Bardiel frowned.
"The cute
blue haired one. She pilots Eva-00."
Ah,
Eva-00. She is very respected amongst the other angels. Ever since Ramiel.
"Ramiel?"
They don't
even know the names of their enemies? How sad The Fifth angel. He chose the
form of a fortress.
"Oh! Him!
…Why?"
Bardiel
looked around and turned directions. He sensed an Eva nearby. It would be best
to avoid combat. She was willing to sacrifice herself to save Eva-01. We
respect actions like that. We also respect Eva-01 because of their power.
"Power? In
Shinji?"
Of
course, the only Eva to move without power, Poor Leriel-the twelfth angel to
you. We'll miss her. And they were able to manipulate an AT field to the extent
of stopping Tzachquel-the tenth.
"Oh. They?"
For the
love of Mike! Don't they tell you anything? Bardiel stopped moving and put
his hand to his face, while his head shook. Eva's have a human soul inside
of them, so that you can synchronize with them. If we have time we'll converse
with one and you'll see.
"So who is
inside This Eva?"
This is
going to make you mildly upset.
"You
already kidnapped me, and I'm probably going to go through extreme pain before
this is over, try me."
Starting
his walk again, Bardiel shrugged, Well, I don't know. It was female, and
very submissive, I believe it was artificial. Not that it matters, I killed it
when I took over the Eva.
"Oh, on a
whim? You just said 'die' and that was that?"
No it
was a struggle for power that lasted from when I entered the Evangelion to
about ten minutes before your test. She was a fighter I'll tell you what.
Bardiel
heard something. Boy, listen.
Touji sat
up in the plug, and listened. He heard something. But he couldn't quite make it
out. It was an argument
[He is in
your sights, Let me do it you freak!]
"He is
inside."
[You
weakling! We could be over by now but you start feeling compassion? Because of
who the pilot is? You're worse than that idiot who tried to synchronize with
me. Why can't you be strong!]
Bardiel
roared Leave her alone! He made the Eva do a weird reverse jump and
landed on the Blue unit. You are cruel Akagi. To cruel. I want to teach you
a lesson. So badly.
"How would
you teach her a lesson? You aren't going to hurt her are you?"
I don't
want to, but that is up to Naoko. If she cares, she won't let –Ayanami- was it?
Get hurt.
"Oh. She
doesn't seem to like Ayanami though."
Bardiel
connected directly to the pilot, My apologies. He began to secret an
acidic material onto the left arm.
"Ahh!
That's gross!"
You are
very lucky that I am not letting you synch with me this isn't pleasant.
[You
little…Asshole! Stop!]
You are
an evil person. I hate evil beings.
The left
arm literally exploded off of the Eva, and Bardiel jumped back. The hell?
Those bastards!
"What?"
They…severed
the left arm with the pilot and Eva still linked up. Ayanami just felt like her
arm was blown off.
"Hey! You said…"
I
didn't mean for it to happen! It's just wrong! Can you believe that! That Boss
man at NERV is one sick puppy.
"Gendo
Ikari. Shinji's Father."
Ikari?
That guy is way screwed up! They shouldn't put him in command of a stapler
battalion!
Bardiel
again knelt beside the Eva and put his hand on it. The pilot and Eva link
severed at his touch. It's all I can do for you. He felt relief on the
pilot's part.
"You are an
awful nice guy for an angel."
I'm
here for the sole reason of getting to Adam. I don't like hurting people. Pain
is unavoidable given the measure of the AT fields around here, but I don't want
to. If This Gendo freak would set Adam out, we could take him home and all
would be well.
"What about
the third impact?"
What
about it? For an angel to initiate the third impact, we would have to come into
contact with Lillith. Because Lillith was barred from paradise for not being
subservient to Adam, it's a long story, but she is not a nice angel to be
around. In fact I wouldn't set my eyes on her given the choice. No, as long as
I don't touch Lillith we're good.
"So its
like a rescue operation?"
Sure.
If you want to look at it that way.
"So why
don't you just ask? Try talking to the people. If they knew this, then they
might give him up."
Not
Gendo Ikari. He longs for his wife, who got absorbed into Unit-01
unfortunately. I can see why he liked her too. Great personality. He doesn't
know this, and thinks that be completing instrumentality, which requires Adam,
Lillith, and some other garbage, I wasn't really paying attention, because I
had no desire to start an impact. Anyway, Gendo wants an impact where all the
AT fields come down and Humanity gets turned into Kool-Aid. By doing this he
get to be one with his wife again. Sweet in a sick sort of way.
"Kool-Aid?"
Pretty
much. Yellow goo, that contains your soul, which will merge with everybody
else's and nobody will be lonely.
"But…what
about individuality?"
Gone.
"I don't
want that!"
Well,
you and just about everybody else is a credit to your species. Gendo isn't.
"Damn…well…shit.
I don't know what to say."
It's
probably better to not say anything at this point. There is Unit-01. Say
hi.
"Hi."
{Hello,
Bardiel and Suzuhara is it? Shinji is unable to comment at this time, but we
pretty much have to stop you.}
Why?
Its not like I'm killing anybody.
{Gendo is
screaming his head off to kill you, and that whole Third Impact thing}
I'm
causing no impact, I just want Adam. And aren't you worried about hurting
Suzuhara?
"Am I a
hostage in all of this?"
Pretty
much, Sorry. I wouldn't have drug you along if it wasn't necessary.
{Shinji
agrees that he doesn't want to fight you, but we have a reputation to uphold.
We can't not fight.}
Can we
just stage something? I'll knock you out and then you can claim you tried.
Bardiel
used his rubber arms trick, a neat little thing that Sachiel taught him, only to a more advanced degree. He closed
them around Unit-01's throat and flung it into a mountain.
Sorry
you okay?
{I'm a
little more buff than that.}
Bardiel
started to squeeze when Unit-01 went limp. Yui?
{Not good.
I'm cut off from my pilot. They're going to use a Dummy plug!}
"say
what?" They asked
{A computer
program that forces me to…MOVE!}
Bardiel
tried to back away, but Unit-01's arms came to life and wrapped around his
throat. And squeezed much harder.
Argh…The
pain…I won't last much longer.
Bardiel let
go of Unit-01 and tried to pull the entry plug out, when his neck snapped, his
arms falling uselessly to his side. He couldn't move.
Kid!
Can you dog the hatch open?
"No! I'm
still stuck!"
Bardiel
couldn't do much but scream as Unit one ripped off an arm. I should have
let you go earlier. Now…it's too late.
"What? What
do you mean?"
He snarled
as His chest was tore open. And purple hands plunged into him. I'm…gone
kid. Been nice…knowing… Before Bardiel was removed from this plane of
existence, he saw the insane Evangelion hold the entry plug and he knew that he
made a mistake. He wanted to apologize, but his throat was long since ripped
out. He died, not knowing what ever became of Touji Suzuhara.
I don't know what possessed me to write this, but I suddenly
thought that Why not give poor Bardiel a bigger part? He has to get it the worst
of all the angels. (Zeruel a close second) And I was just thinking that the
angels aren't bad guys, they just want Adam…
Bardiel is
my favorite angel, and I was thinking that maybe I should change the ending, if
any of you are interested.
