The First Judgment
The first feeling experienced when it became self-aware was one of sadness. An indescribable sadness coming from the humans' hearts and souls, the whole of humanity crying out in despair. The Third Angel, Sachiel, had awakened from the depths of the sea, to deliver the final message of God and reunite with Adam. It came to finally end humanity's suffering and bring an end to all the pain and anguish that had come from their existence. The humans didn't know this of course; the way they worked to save themselves from the inevitable was proof of this. All they assumed was that unexplainable creatures were foretold to arrive and bring an end to all of mankind, and this to them, was unacceptable. Sachiel rose from the sea and began his journey to Adam, unknowingly destroying the people it was trying to save along the way.
"But I can't do it!" cried Shinji
Ikari, as Eva Unit 01 was unveiled to him. "I just can't!" he cried once more.
He heard his father say something and when he looked up again, he saw her. She
was being wheeled into the holding bay by a nurse, and from what he could see,
she was in very bad shape. A bandage covered her left eye and her arm and leg had
wrappings around them as well. As Shinji thought about the appearance of this
new person, the room was shaken by the Angels' attack.
Sachiel walked among the broken
remains of several UN aircraft and ground troops, heading in a straight line to
his objective. At this same moment, Eva Unit 01 was launched into the streets
of Tokyo-3 and for the first time, an Angel had encountered the only thing that
could keep it from completing its goal. Unit 01 slowly began to walk toward
Sachiel but due to Shinji's inexperience, tripped on it's own power cord.
Sachiel, not allowing an opportunity to pass, picked up the Eva by the collar
and looked right into its eyes. "If this must be what I must destroy in order
to save this species from themselves, so be it." he thought. Sachiel prayed for
the boy he knew was in the machine. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt
him, but if this was the will of God, he couldn't do otherwise. A long blade
came out of Sachiel's hand and began to pound the face of the Eva. After many
hits, the armor could take no more and the blade went right through the eye and
sent Unit 01 careening into a building across the street. Sachiel looked at the
figure of the defeated Eva and felt true pain for the boy he had just hurt. He
continued on his way to Adam, but to his astonishment, he heard a loud roar
come from the direction of the fallen mecha.
The last thought Sachiel had before he died was one of hope, oddly enough. A thought that maybe the human race had proven themselves worthy of existence and they wouldn't destroy themselves after all as he originally suspected. With this, he let out a final roar one of peace, not pain like before. As his vision began to fade, he thought of the boy who had defeated him and wished Shinji Ikari, the savior of the human race, well.
Notes: Yes, I know it sucks. It's the first time I've written for pleasure in years and my skills are horrible. Oh, and for you Eva fanatics who know every little detail about the show, I am aware that this isn't exactly what occurred in the first battle so don't hound me about it. I'm allowed some creative license, aren't I?
