Evangelion: Prophecy

Summary: The Dead Sea Scrolls predicted 4 Nephilim: Tabris, Tabrias, Azela, and Azrael. They would protect humanity against the Angels. But in order to do so, one would destroy everyone. Is Shinji Ikari really Azrael, the Angel of Death? And what exactly is Instrumentality? How does it differ from Third Impact?

Author's Note: Just FYI, I've yet to see many of the concepts that I'm going to use in another story. In this story, there are different explanations to SEELE, Angels, Evangelions, and the Pilots. I also give a different reason as to why Rei is a clone. It takes place after Koaru's death. I'm not linking it to the Anime or Manga, but the general storyline. So the explinations given up until now are accurate, I just change the meaning of them. Parings will be Shinji x Rei and Auska x Kaoru.

One more thing: SEELE are actually good guy's, and Gendo ends up being revealed as the bad guy.

Disclaimer: If I owned Evangelion, I would have never ended either the Anime or the Movies with a cliffhanger.

Prologue:

They all hate me. Let me die. I am no use anymore. Just let me die.

'Now why would you want to do that, Frau Soryu?'

What the hell?

'Not 'what', but 'whom', Auska Langley Soryu.'

Whom?

'Kaoru Nagisa, Nephilim, Fifth Child.'

Nephilim?

'Half Angel, to a small extent. The reason you can hear me know is because I am using my AT Field to connect our minds. Though I will admit that the fact that you forced yourself into coma helps.'

Angel?!?

'Easy! I am not an enemy. I am here to help you.'

Why? One of your kind raped my mind! Why do you think I placed myself in this coma?

'To answer your second question, I know it is because you don't want to face the memories you have buried. To answer your first, I want to help you because you are a fellow Nephilim.'

What do you mean? I don't have an AT Field.

'Everyone does. It holds the Human body together. Nephilim and Angels, though, can project a second one using the Light of their Soul.'

So, every time I projected an AT Field while piloting Eva…?

'Correct. It was your AT Field. Unit 02 was made to help you control your powers.'

But I failed! The memories…

'Listen, Auska, I cannot do this for much longer as using my AT Field causes my body to decay. My genetic structure is unstable because I am a clone of Chairman Keele. After I do this, I will have to find a way to destroy my body so that I am not tied to it, allowing me to move to a new one. After that, I cannot help you, so please listen.'

'You should not be troubled by your past. Your mother was ill because she was exposed to chemicals while constructing Unit 02 for you. But that does not mean that the man she loved, the one who you have every right to call 'father' is not evil. He has harmed many, and must be stopped.'

'So please put aside your anger, before he hurts more people.'

Who is he?

'You already know.'

No! It couldn't be!

'Unfortunately, yes. You are Shinji Ikari's half-sister.'

The Baka?

'Stay unconscious so that you can work through your feelings, please, or you could do something that could cause the death of many.'

O…K.

'Tabrias, I cannot do this for much longer. Do you mind if I borrow Unit 02?'

………

'Tabrias?'

What did you call me?

'Tabrias. That is the name of the Angel of Alternatives.'

If it helps you, go ahead and use Unit 02.

'I promise I will keep it safe for you.'

Wait! If I'm a Nephilim like you, and I'm Tabrias, who are you?

'I am your other. Call me Tabris, the Angel of Free Will.'

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Kaoru spluttered and coughed up the LCL as he tried hard to keep from falling. He hated going through the transfer that put him into a new body, but it couldn't be helped since he was under constant threat of cellular breakdown.

"I see you made it back. You made contact with the Second Child?"

The Angel of Free Will smiled at the man who was handing him a towel. "Of course, Chairman Keele. I think she will return soon," he replied, accepting the towel.

"And the Third Child?" Keele asked.

At this question, Kaoru's face fell, "I believe he will be scarred emotionally by what I had to ask him to do. At least I gave him a good reason, so he should recover quickly, and be all the stronger for it." Keele handed him a pair of clothes and Kaoru began to dress, "I am more worried about my sister right now. It is obvious that she is in her third body, but Azela cannot seem to remember anything. I believe the old man is hampering her."

"We can correct that," Keele assured. "For a long time, I have been suspicious that the First Child was being abused by Gendo."

"Don't worry for now," Kaoru said, buttoning his shirt. "I believe Shinji-kun will be able to revive the memories of the Angel of Life."

"Do any of the three know of the true origins of the Angels?"

"No, nor should I explain it to them."

"The rest of SEELE will want a report."

"There are a few things I do not wish to tell them. First off, Yui Ikari is still alive. The AI core that she developed so the need for Nephilim as pilots would not be present is in Unit 01, and I could sense her soul was being protected by the AI."

"That would make sense. She programmed the AI to protect its pilots at all costs. That means the test was sabotaged, and it was forced to absorb her to protect her," Keele reasoned.

Kaoru nodded, "Yes, but that means she can still claim command of NERV, and I believe she is preparing to do that."

"All the better for us."

"There's more," Kaoru said, now grave. "The only reason the AI core would be used was if the pilot required it to keep his or her power in check."

Keele raised an eyebrow, "You don't mean…?

"We may have to accept that Shinji-kun is just who we feared he was: Azrael, the Angel of Death."

"Is he?" Keele asked.

Kaoru shrugged, "I don't know."

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Gendo stood in the Eva cages, looking up at the masked face of Unit 01. "Soon," he said softly, "Soon it will be over, and there will be no more pain. We will be together, complete once more, Yui."

He turned to leave, only to hear a "ffttto" sound behind him as he was suddenly knocked to the ground by a clear, gooey, substance. He grumbled, muttering something about having just washed his suit, and turned back towards Unit 01. It remained as it was, still and silent. Idly wondering what had hit him and where it had come from, Gendo left.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

You sneezed on him?

I think I have developed an allergy to his presence, Creator.

Don't apologize! That was one of the most hilarious things I have seen in a long time, and he deserved it!

When is the next test?

It's nice that the MAGI don't tell anyone I can access them through the umbilical cable. The next test is tomorrow.

Good. I wish to try to communicate with my pilot then.

You need to be gentler with my son, Evan. (Author's Note: Pronounced A-van, as in Evangelion.) He's been through a great deal, more than anyone his age should have gone through.

Indeed. He deserves your comfort. Therefore, if I can establish contact with him, I will try to help the two of you communicate.

Don't absorb him, Evan. Not again.

I have learned how to use the S2 I ingested. I am confident that we can reconstruct his body, should it happen again.

I hope so.

With where things are now, all we can do is hope.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Author's Note: I've always wondered what would happen if an Eva sneezed.
