(Start)

The year was 2000 as today was a day that no one will ever forget as right now a young woman with long white hair, one eye completely red while the other had only the Iris red she was wearing a black sleeveless suit, gloves that went up to her elbows, and finally next to her head was a chibi purple haired girl dressed in black as the woman looked at the giant enemy of light.

"Yui we have to stop that thing before it does any more damage!" the chibi girl said to the white haired woman.

"I know Al time to summon Demonbane," Yui said as she sprouted wings and flew up high into the air. Once she was up there her hands began to glow as she was ready.

She began to spin creating runes as she was summoning her ally. "From the Hate scorched sky..." she began as she crated more runes. "With righteous anger in our hearts..." she continued as she created more runes around her. "We draw forth the sword that smites evil!" she continued as she did a spin as she was now surrounded by these rings of runes. "Thou art the innocent sword," she continued as she raised her hand in the air as the runes entered her raised right hand. "DEMONBANE!" she invoked finishing the spell as she came downward as when Yui hit the frozen land there was a flash of mystical energy as standing there was a giant machine only known as a Dues ex Machina as nearby a young girl watched this amazed that this machine and its pilot would appear seemingly out of nowhere and face this giant of light.

"Demon...bane?" the girl asked as the two giants soon charged at each other for what would be a clash of the titans.

Chapter 1 God Machine Demonbane!

(Scene break 14 years later)

In the city of Tokyo-3 a purple haired girl in a white dress was running from her pursuers. She would send an energy sphere at them every now and again but she was trying to conserve her magic. As she ran she quickly began climbing up the building via the ladders as these guys in black suits kept following her with guns shooting at her to try and subdue her. Among them was a green haired man in a lab coat, wearing glasses as he had a crazed look on his face.

"Come on we need to get the Necronomicon and bring it to King-sama now go after her!" he ordered to the men wearing black suits and white masks.

Meanwhile the girl kept running noticing the giant creature far off with the beak like mask as she thought of a plan. 'If I had a Dues Ex Machina I could fight that thing but without a partner I'm very limited,' the girl thought as she kept running trying to lose these guys. She soon arrived at the top of a building close to the train station as she saw she was cornered. "Well looks like I have to jump," she said before she jumped not noticing a boy arriving at the phone booth.

(With said boy)

Shinji Ikari a young youth with grey eyes, brown hair wearing a white button up dress shirt, slacks and a pair of sneakers was heading to the pay phone when he didn't see his ride arrive as he was about to pick up the receiver when he heard a voice yell to him. "LOOK OUT!" the voice yelled as Shinji looked up and saw a little girl about to land on him as he got a good view of her panties which made him blush. She soon landed on him as Shinji was sprawled out on the floor with the girl rubbing hear head as she was on Shinji's back. "Damn baka I told you to move out of the way!" she yelled as she got off Shinji.

"Sorry," Shinji said as he got up.

"Ok maybe if I hurry I can avoid them before they arrive," she said as Shinji was confused.

"Wait avoid who?" Shinji asked as he noticed the girl seemed to have been running from something.

That was when the men from before showed up with their leader holding his guitar case in a threatening manner. "Ok school boy I'm only going to ask you once and if you do it I'll let you live hand the girl over to us or you won't live to be of age to drink," the man said as Shinji looked at him.

"Um who are you?" Shinji asked as the man's eyes widen as if he was shocked that Shinji doesn't know who he was.

"You gaki how can you not of heard of the greatest genius ever to grace the human race with his presence. I am the great and world renowned Dr. West," he said in a rocker way as Shinji looked at him.

"Uh I never heard of you," Shinji said as the man looked pissed.

"Ok that's it you die!" he said as he pointed his Guitar case at Shinji before the tip opened and fired an RPG as Shinji and the girls eyes widen.

"RUN!" the girl said as she grabbed Shinji's hand and took him away from the group.

"After them!" Doctor West called as a grunt looked at his boss.

"But sir what about the Angel?" he asked referring to the giant stomping around the city.

"Forget about the angel and get the girl! The Necronomicon is much more valuable for my research, and for our group!" Doctor West said, while strumming a few chords on a guitar he randomly drew out of nowhere. The men were confused, but they didn't want to be on their boss' bad side and pursued. Or they would have if they weren't trying to get stepped on by a giant or something else happening.

(Meanwhile with Shinji)

Shinji was sitting on a bench with the girl trying to catch his breath as the girl from before sat next to him. "This is just great now they'll come after you thinking you have some connection to me," the girl said as Shinji looked at her.

"But who are you and why are they after you!" Shinji asked as he didn't want to be dragged into something he didn't understand.

"That's none of your business the less you know the better," she said as she was pasting back and forth.

"Yes but I was supposed to meet my father after 10 year separation and now I might just miss the chance," Shinji said as t girl glared at Shinji.

"Not the biggest problem right now!" she yelled as the girl looked at Shinji. "Ok if I use a spell to remove your memory of meeting me I can ditch you," she said but before she could they saw the group with the white masks appear as they looked ready to kill and with them was Doctor West.

"Well you brat you gave me one hell of a goose chase and I gave you the chance to give the girl up but now you're a witness and I can't have any witnesses," Doctor West said as Shinji's eyes widen. Shinji then got in front of the girl in an effort to provide some protection.

"Whoever you are please run I'll distract them," Shinji said as the girl was shocked.

'Ok so he's not a wimp but the way he said it reminded me of when I first met 'her,' the girl thought as Shinji was ready to fight even though he wasn't the strongest one out there.

"Please run when you get the chance," Shinji said as he took a very poor battle stance.

"What a gaki like you is going to try and fight all of us HA don't make me laugh," Doctor West said as some of his grunts couldn't help but chuckle.

But just before Shinji could charge straight in the girl grabbed his arm as her body seemed to be glowing a bit. "Ningen what is your name?" the girl asked as Shinji was surprised that this girl called him a Nigen which was a word for human. The Grunts with Doctor West pointed their guns at the duo as the girl knew they had to hurry and perform "THAT," spell. "Answer me Ningen!" she demanded as Shinji was a bit afraid but she soon continued. "Names are important," she said with a certain look in her eyes.

"There's no time for this we need to run," Shinji said as Doctor West held his Guitar case over his head.

"Just so long as we get the book all is well," Doctor West said as he had the order ready. "KILL THEM!" he yelled as the Grunts were ready to fire.

"Answer me Ningen!" the girl demanded as Shinji figured he might as well.

"Shinji Ikari," Shinji said as the girl eye widen slightly at Shinji's last name. "And right now I'm no hero I'm just one boy with nothing to look forward to in life," Shinji said as the girl completely disagreed. "There's nothing I can do in this situation," Shinji said as the girl looked at him.

'Could he be related to her?' she thought before she began to do "THAT," spell. "No your wrong Shinji being a hero is in your blood in more ways than you can possibly imagine," the girl said as she continued. "If that is so, Shinji Ikari, then I make this pact with thee," she began making Shinji's eye widen as she jumped to Shinji as soon all Shinji could see around him was a blue world of runes as the girl looked at him while she held Shinji's face. "Shinji Ikari, carve my name into thy heart," the girl said as she didn't even seem to move her mouth yet Shinji could hear her voice. "My name is Al Azif, created by Abdul Alhazred. I am the worlds ultimate Grimoire!" Al invoked into Shinji's mind before she pressed her lips against Shinji's as Shinji didn't know why but he didn't push away as he could feel power enter him.

In the real world there was a bright flash of light as the energy was no doubt detected by few as Doctor West and his grunts covered their eyes. "What's this light?!" he demanded as he shielded his eyes.

Shinji could feel it in a way he and Al were merging so to speak as he could feel her power become his own as he could even eel his body change but there was no pain in the change.

When the light died down Shinji looked at his arms and saw them covered in black gloves he soon noticed his skin had turned pale white as he noticed his hair was now silver, under his eyes were these marking similar to tear drops, and his eyes were red with the left eye completely red. "W-what is this?" Shinji asked as he also noticed his muscle mass had grown to that of someone who works out. His muscles weren't too big but they weren't too small either as Shinji was amazed.

"You're a Sorcerer Shinji," came a voice Shinji swore should be in a chibi anime.

"Al is that you? Where are you?" Shinji asked as he couldn't see her.

"I'll give you a hint check your shoulder," Al said as Shinji looked to his side and saw a chibi Al with a black dress, cat arms as gloves, and wings on her head. "Hi Shinji," she said as Shinji was surprised.

"What is this," Shinji asked as he wanted answers.

"Like I said you apparently had the potential to be a Sorcerer and now that we have contracted I awoken that potential," Al said as Shinji was surprised.

"I can use magic?" Shinji asked before Doctor Wests voice came in.

"Ok we kill the gaki and undo the contract FIRE AT WILL!" Doctor West yelled as the grunts fired their weapons but when they did Shinji saw this and wings came out of his lower back and stopped the bullets in their tracks as Shinji had done this on instinct. "Ok then how about this!" Doctor West yelled before sending his RPG at the new Sorcerer but Shinji smirked and actually caught the missile in his hand as a blue mystic circle appeared to help stop it in its track.

"I think you dropped this TAKE IT BACK!" Shinji yelled as he sent the rocket back causing Doctor West and his Grunts to be sent flying. "That power was amazing," Shinji said as he was amazed at this power.

"That's what she said when she first used it," Al mumbled to herself as Shinji looked at her.

"Who?" Shinji asked as Al figured she would ask him later.

"No one but right now we have one more problem," Al said pointing at the Angel that was attacking the city.

"Um how do we stop it even at this size we're no match," Shinji said as Al thought.

"If only we had Demonbane or a Dues Ex Machina," she said as they were in a tight spot. That was when she sense a familiar presence. "Wait Demonbane are you here?" Al asked as Shinji looked at her.

"Who are you talking to?" Shinji asked as Al smiled.

"Demonbane you have no idea how good it is to hear your voice again think you're up for some fighting?" Al asked as she soon smiled bigger as if she got the answer she was hoping to hear. "All right I'll summon you right away," Al said as Shinji felt an energy build up.

(Central Dogma)

It was then alarms went off as Maya who was on her console eyes widen. "Commander we have a problem the MAGI had detected an unknown power source near the train station but thought it nothing but now it sense the same energy but much stronger in Terminal Dogma!" Maya called as Gendo's eyes widen as there were two thing in Terminal Dogma that were kept there for a reason one was what the Angels were after and the other was a machine.

(Battlefield in front of the Angel)

High in the sky a portal opened as it had Runes around it as something was coming out from it. Once it was out it fell to the ground in front of the Angel as if to challenge it and stop its path.

(With Misato)

Misato was driving around Tokyo-3 like a maniac when she saw the spot she was supposed to meet Shinji blown up luckily there was no body so Shinji might still be alive. As she drove she soon felt the rumbling of something landing as she looked as her eyes widen remembering her childhood. "Demon...bane?!" she asked as she remember the machine that fought Adam on the day of Second Impact. "It's back?" she asked as she saw Demonbane had once again appeared out of nowhere like it did 14 years ago.

(With Shinji and Al)

Shinji was then teleported into the cockpit of Demonbane, and Al was looking similar to her chibi-form, but at another point in the cockpit.

"What? Where are we?" Shinji asked as he looked around the cockpit of Demonbane, and it was true that he was standing up as Al looked back.

"We're in the cockpit of Demonbane, and it feels great to be back." Al answered, with the last part to herself more. Shinji was surprised at the answer and didn't catch the last part. The technologically it was so advanced, and yet so simple.

"Demonbane," Shinji said as he had to admit the name just has that certain ring to it.

"Yeah and we're going to fight in it you ready Shinji?" Al asked as Shinji smiled.

"Of course...I think," Shinji said as he didn't know how to use Demonbane that well. That was when the Angel came at Shinji as once it was upon him it attempted to attack him with its lance but Shinji panicked, closed his eyes, and out of reflex grabbed the Angels arm and stopped the Lance in its tracts. Shinji opened his eyes again and saw that he had made Demon Bane grab the Angels arm stopping its attack.

"Well not bad for a rookie but you'll get the hang of it," Al said as Shinji then went on the counter attack. Shinji began punching the Angel as Demonbane was powerful against such a foe.

(Battlefield)

As they battled Demonbane soon knocked the Angel back as the Angel quickly activated it's, AT-field as Demonbane attacked again but when Demonbanes fist slammed against the AT-field the Field shattered like glass as Demonbane was able to make a direct blow against the Angel despite its AT-field.

(Central Dogma)

Ritsuko who had arrived had seen Demonbane shatter the Angel AT-field as she thought only the EVA had the power to break pat an AT-field. "This is amazing to be able to break past the AT-field is it an EVA or something else?" Ritsuko thought before she remembered something. 'Wait that machine was in Terminal Dogma yet something or someone summoned it to fight the Angel.

Gendo was glaring at the screen as he knew this thing shouldn't even have the power to fight the Angels. 'This machine is just a false God it can never compare to the Real Gods man had created through EVA,' Gendo thought as he had Demonbane sealed in Terminal Dogma for a reason.

(Battlefield)

Demonbane continued to fight the Angel as Shinji could tell this Machine was doing what the Military had failed to do. Shinji then gave the Angel a very hard kick as it was sent hurtling down the block through the city.

(Cockpit)

"Now to finish it off," Al said as she began pressing buttons for an attack she was all too familiar with. "Shinji let's use the Atlantis Strike," Al said as she finished setting up for the attack of Demonbanes.

"Okay." Shinji said and suddenly got some images flash in his head as he leapt into the air.

"Atlantis strike!"

(Battlefield)

Demonbane who's leg braces were no on its sides came down with a powerful kick as once it collided with the Angel as the attack soon collided with the Angels S2 organ causing the Angel to blow up sky high just after Demonbane kicked jump off the Angel as Demonbane soon crossed its arms as right next to Demonbanes foot was Misato who had driven there. Shinji looked down and saw Misato there and recognized her from the picture.

(Cockpit)

"Hey Shinji we're getting communications from this place called NERV I'm patching them through," Al said as she patched NERV through and to his surprise Shinji was met with his father's face.

"Tou-san," Shinji said forgetting his form looked different as Gendo looked at him.

"Who are you and how did you bring this machine out from Terminal Dogma?" he demanded as Shinji remembered he looked different in this form.

That was when Al butted in when Gendo had called Demonbane a machine. "Hey you old goat this machine is a Dues Ex Machina and it was mine to begin with I was just taking back my property," Al said as Gendo glared at her yet Al wouldn't back down. "Come down to the Geofront a woman named Misato Katsuragi should be able to guide you there if you find her and bring the machine," Gendo said before the comm. links were cut.

"Man what an ass Shinji why didn't you tell me your father was such an ass?" Al asked as Shinji shrunk down.

"Sorry," Shinji said as Al sighed.

"Hey don't worry about it now to find this Misato lady," Al said before Shinji made Demonbane kneel down and pick up Misato's car with Misato inside it.

"Don't worry I was supposed to meet up with her when I arrived and you uh landed on me so we're in the clear," Shinji said as Al nodded.

(Scene break NERV)

Demonbane arrived at the outer entrance of NERV as Shinji and Al were soon teleported outside of Demonbane right next to Misato catching her off guard. "Jesus don't scare me like that," Misato said as she was glad she had such a strong heart.

"Sorry," Shinji said just as Gendo and some Section 2 agents appeared.

The Section 2 agents pointed their guns at Shinji and Al as Shinji raised his hands out of reflects. "Ok now tell me who are you and how did you bring this machine from Terminal Dogma to fight the Angel?" Gendo demanded as Al sighed and figured might as well undo the transformation. It was soon that Shinji was surrounded by energy but it didn't last long as once it cleared Shinji with his bags and his normal cloths stood there with Al right next to him.

"Ok you old goat where did you find Demonbane and how did you get him!" Al demanded as Gendo only glared at her.

"That is none of your concern sense you two were the ones who stole it," Gendo said as Al glared.

"This Dues Ex Machina was mine to begin with I was only taking back my property," Al said just as Shinji got between the two before Al could use her magic to threaten Gendo.

"Uh can we change the subject tou-san why did you summon me?" Shinji asked as Gendo knew some minor adjustments had to be made to his scenario.

"Follow me," Gendo said as Shinji nodded as Al also followed as well as Misato who was deep in thought.

'There's no way Shinji and Al can be the same pilots from before they are too young could the power actually be handed down from one pilot to another?' Misato thought as she wanted to thank the pilot of Demonbane for trying to stop Adam but it wouldn't help if it wasn't the same pilot.

As they walked through NERV Al had to give the Section 2 agents a glare promising them pain if they tried to stop her sense she looked like a child who doesn't belong in restricted areas. They soon arrived at a dark room with the lights soon coming on as Shinji yelped at seeing a giant purple face. "What is that?" Shinji asked as Ritsuko Akagi stepped up.

"This is the synthetic life form known as Evangelion Unit 1 it had been built here in secret it is humanities last hope," Ritsuko said as Al scoffed.

"Yeah until me and Demonbane came along," Al said as she could see Ritsuko get an angered look on her face at Al's comment.

"Anyway we will be conducting tests on Demonbane to see how it was able to break through the Angels AT-field but until then Shinji you'll be piloting Evangelion," Ritsuko said as Al butted in.

"Like hell he will he's my partner so he will be piloting Demonbane with me!" Al yelled as Ritsuko was trying to control her temper with this girl and right now Ritsuko was beginning to lose her cool.

"That is not for you to decide Shinji had been designated as the Third Child he doesn't have much of a choice after all our only available two pilots are able to fight the angels at the moment one is in Germany while the other who we have here is seriously injured," Ritsuko said as Al glared at the doctor.

"Well too bad if Demonbane had proven a match for the Angels then what's stopping you from deploying the old hag," Al said as Ritsuko looked ready to kill as it was taking all of her will power not to do so. Al turned to Gendo with a glare as she was wondering how stupid this man was. "And you if the angels are attacking this city then why didn't you have this German pilot brought here if anything that's stupid move for you," Al said as Ritsuko was about ready to kill.

"Um I would really rather pilot Demonbane then the EVA," Shinji said as Gendo had figured out how to fix this problem as he turned to Ritsuko.

"Dr. Akagi we shall let them pilot this Demonbane, for now but when it proves that it can't handle every enemy that comes its way the Third child will switch to Evangelion," Gendo said as Ritsuko could tell Gendo had a plan.

"Very well," Ritsuko said as she was just about ready to kill Al even if she didn't know anything about her.

"Now the Katsuragi-san please bring the Third child and..." Gendo said now knowing Al's name.

"Al Azif," Al said glaring at Gendo who nodded.

"Yes and pilot Azif to get there living arrangements," Gendo said as he knew SEELE wasn't going to like Demonbane.

"Yes sir," Misato said before Gendo left followed by Ritsuko. "Well then kiddies time to get your housing," Misato said with a grin as they began heading to the real estate's office.

"I'm not a kid," Al mumbled before she turned to look at Unit 1 for a minute with a look on her face that spoke that she felt something odd about it. 'Why do I feel a familiar presence from it?' she thought before she walked away.

(Scene break Real estate's office)

"Wait they'll be living alone?" Misato asked surprised as she didn't expect that.

"Yes in section 14B is that acceptable?" he asked as Shinji gave a weak smile.

"Don't worry I'm used to living alone," Shinji said before Al bonked his head hard.

"Baka you should know by now that now Ningen can only stand living alone for so long and eventually they'll have to let people in," Al said as she wasn't intended on leaving Shinji alone. Misato of course had similar thoughts to Al.

(Later with Ritsuko)

"Wait what?!" Ritsuko asked over the phone as she didn't think she heard right.

(With Misato)

"You heard me I'm taking Shinji and Al to live with me besides I won't be making any passes to them," Misato said with a smile as Ritsuko scowled over the phone.

"HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT YOU HAVE NO SHAME WHAT SO EVER!" the faux blond yelled over the phone as Misato had to take her ear off the phone as Ritsuko continued to rant.

"Jeez some people can't take a joke," Misato said as she had a sweat drop.

(Meanwhile with Gendo)

"Sir are you sure I mean doing something like this could be risky," Ritsuko said as she was surprised as to what Gendo had told her to do.

"I understand that but we must destroy Demonbane for our scenario to take effect otherwise all we have worked torts would be for not," Gendo said as Ritsuko nodded. "That is why I asked for some help in this endeavor I believe you're acquainted with him," Gendo said as Ritusko's eye widen.

"No please don't tell me you mean-" she began before a guitar chord was strummed.

"That's right the greatest mind in the world is here and his name is DOCTOR WEST!" the green haired man who tried to captured Al and kill Shinji was here as Ritsuko hated this guy because how annoying and conceded he was.

"Now then Doctor Akagi and Doctor West I'll leave the development of Demonpane to you two," Gendo said before leaving not giving Ritsuko enough time to complain.

'Damn him,' the faux blond cursed the commander for making her work with who she believed was the most annoying man in the world.

(Scene break after Misato showed Shinji and Al the city they protected)

Shinji and Al were now arriving at the apartment as Misato looked at them with a smile. "Sorry if it's a little messy I just moved in myself so please don't mind the mess," Misato said as Al had a bad feeling about this.

Once Misato opened the door the place wasn't a "little," messy it was like a party was thrown in here every day and night and no one bothered to clean up. "Ok this isn't a 'little,' messy it's a god damn mess," Al said as a mess was a nice way of putting it.

"Hey I told you I just moved in myself," Misato said as Al glared at the Major who would apparently be her superior officer.

"That's not excuse we're not having any celebration until this mess is cleaned up!" Al said as Shinji was already taking care of that.

"Fine," Misato complained as she figured there was no arguing with a Tsunadere.

(Later after the mess was cleaned up and the groceries were put away)

Misato, Al, and Shinji were gathered around the table enjoying their food as Misato only smiled. "It's nice to eat with other people instead of by your lonesome," Misato said with a smile as she had a can of Yebisu in her hand.

"Um, are you sure you should be drinking so much?" Shinji asked nervously, but Misato just shrugged him off.

"It's fine. I haven't died from liver failure or intoxication yet." She said but Al just frowned at that.

"Then you should think about your health a bit more, the body is a temple you know, and what you put in could destroy that temple." She added as the eldest girl just shrugged her off.

"I know how to moderate a bit. Drink too much too often, you die. You just have to learn the balance."

"Well judging by the number of cans you haven't learned the balance," Al said referring to the pyramid of Beer bottles she cleaned up.

"Oh who asked you anyway," Misato said as Shinji finished his food.

"Well I'm going to take a bath," Shinji said as Misato smiled.

"Yes bathing is the rejuvenating serum of life," Misato said as once Shinji was gone Misato gained a serious face. "Al can I asked you something?" Misato asked as Al looked at her.

"Sure," Al said as Misato just looked at her.

"Were you there on the day of Second Impact you know at ground zero?" Misato asked as Al was shocked before she remembered the young girl she had met there.

"Yeah your that girl who as having father problems," Al said as Misato nodded.

"Yeah but Shinji's birth records states that he was born after second Impact so if Demonbane needs two pilots how did you fight Adam?" Misato asked as Al sighed.

"I was with my previous partner see I'm basically immortal doomed to always fight evil or anything and anyone who wishes humanity harm that's both my purpose in life and my curse," Al said as Misato was surprised.

"But what happens when there is no evil to fight?" Misato asked as Al sighed.

"Well either two things happens one is where I'm forced to go into a deep sleep in my Grimour form being nothing more than an old book to everyone and the other is rare but I keep living on even when my partner dies but that's only ever happened twice for me," Al said as Misato actually pitied this girl. Misato knew there was magic in the world when she saw that woman summon Demonbane all those years ago and by the way Al described her apparent immortality it sounded like she wanted to eventually never have to fight again but knowing how humanity is that is a very unlikely dream.

"Well if you need to talk to someone I'm always here," Misato said putting her hand on Al's hand in a comforting way.

"...Thanks Misato," Al said as soon a yell was heard from the bathroom and Shinji came running out naked looking freaked out.

"Misato there's something in the bathroom!" Shinji yelled as Al was ready to knock Shinji down for not wearing at least towel.

"What is it?" Misato asked just before a penguin walked out of said bathroom.

"That thing!" he yelled pointing at the Penguin.

"Oh that's just Penpen he's your third roommate," Misato said before Al threw a bucket at Shinji hitting his head.

"Baka put some clothes on!" she yelled as she was wondered why she became Shinji's Grimoire again.

"Well things never seem to get boring," Misato said as Shinji went into the bathroom.

(Scene break SEELE)

"So they have appeared again without warning," the French commander said as he looked at Gendo.

"Yes but when the Angel appeared the God Machine also appeared seemingly out of nowhere like it did 14 years ago," the German commander said as the American commander spoke up.

"Let's see how you pull yourself out of this bind Ikari," he said as Gendo knew what to say.

"NERV shall continue to fight the Angels with the EVA and I shall make sure this supposed God Machine will be destroyed," Gendo said as Keel spoke up.

"No leave the God Machine be it is needed for the required scenario," Keel said as Gendo was surprised though he didn't show it.

"How so Keel?" the American commander asked sense he thought only EVA was needed.

"The God Machine was meant for the original scenario before the EVA but when we couldn't locate something called the Necronomicon I had no choice but to abandon that plan and switch to EVA but I always had it prepared in case the God Machine ever rises but now that it has we are free to use whichever scenario would work best," Keel explained as Gendo didn't see this coming and he's been close to SEELE. "Now Gendo continue with the Instrumentality project in case we have to draw back to it we shall work with our own project," Keel said as Gendo nodded.

"Yes sir," Gendo said as he had a hunch that he was messing with something more powerful the SEELE.

"Very well then we shall discuss the budget you had requested you are no longer needed thank you for coming," Keel said before the members of SEELE disappeared.

"Now that Demonbane has risen SEELE now has a backup plan," Gendo said before he left.

(Scene break undisclosed location)

Keel was walking down a hall as he had just finished his meeting with SEELE as he was walking he soon arrived in a dark room with a large spotlight in the center that had rose pedals falling from the ceiling. In the center of this dark room was a throne with a young boy about 14 sitting on it. He was wearing a mix of Regal Clothing, cloths a modern day mage would wear, and finally something that a powerful man would wear. His eyes were a dull green, as his gold locks reached his shoulders, his skin was pale but not enough to signify that he had not been out in the sun at all. He was resting his head on his fist as he looked at Keel.

"So Keel are the rumors that Demonbane has returned true?" the boy asked as Keel kneeled down to the young boy.

"Yes King-sama Demonbane has risen with it the Nercronomicon named Al Azif," Keel said as it was apparent SEELE were just a shroud to cover their true masters.

"Good so the original scenario shall go as planned?" King asked as Keel nodded.

"Yes King-sama but Al Azif must regain her lost pages before the promised time comes upon us," Keel said as King smiled.

"Well we have a whole year to "help," the Necronomicon regain her lost pages," King said as he turned to his side where a young boy dressed in a tuxedo about the age of fourteen as he had red eyes, pale skin, and white hair as he had this wayward smile on him. "Tabris monitor Al Azif and her new partner and if necessary guide her to the lost pages," King ordered as Tabris nodded.

"Of course King-sama it shall be done," he said before walking away to carry out the order while humming to Ode to Joy.

"Soon once the Necronomicon is in out possession we shall be able to carry out the grand project and have control over all of humanity," King said as he let out an evil laugh as Keel left to carry out his masters wishes.
