Chapter 01
Determination
"AT Field Full Power!" his scream was one full of determination.
This time he would be fighting for something he believed. No longer would he allow himself to go out into the battle field just to please the ones around him, he would go to protect them.
In a matter of seconds all of the surrounding area was swept by an invisible force that left nothing standing. This force halted the aggressors in place, it was so powerful not even their combined strength could surpass this divine wall.
However soon enough they gave up their advances and used the weapons that took down the Red Devil. With a swift movement one of them threw the Lance of Longinus, and the wall was no more.
Before the boy could react his nerves were assaulted by ferocious pain, although he knew it wasn't really his chest that was injured the pain did not go away and he found his movements become slow and shaky.
"It's... It's over..." like the purple titan his determination was broken and could no longer stand.
The white bringers of death were upon him, he knew what awaited him was a painful death and as a result of his death every other being in existence would perish.
"...d...gi..." he could hear a soft whisper, suddenly all of the world was meaningless, all the pain was gone, the entire battle was miles away, all he could hear was the whisper which grew stronger.
"..Do...U" he didn't know what it was or what it meant but it felt like it was the only thing that mattered at the moment so he closed his eyes and pushed the horror of his failure away from his mind, he just wanted to hear the soft and familiar voice.
"Don't Give Up!" as if powered by his will to listen it, it became powerful, no longer a whisper but now a scream urging him to get up. In a second he could understand more about the biological monstrosity than he could in the last few months.
"..."
"... Move!..." and with a word the titan was on its feet. However this did not slow the flying colossus as they landed around the impaled purple monster ready to deliver the next blow.
He knew he was outnumbered and he was also aware that conventional attacks would prove ineffective, they would just rise again, yet he was sure that he was not going to lose.
His thoughts were interrupted by the white bringer of death as it tried to grab him, but this did not disturb him he was now experiencing something unique, he could feel the soft wind caressing his entire body, he could sense every movement made around him... They were one now.
It was no secret that despite its size the purple titan was capable of moving at an insane speed, however never had it moved in such an elegant way, its movements were like a dance its entire body swayed as it delivered blows that could make a city tremble.
Before the white pigeons of doom could understand what hit them they were already falling at the hands of mankind's ultimate weapon. With a roar that could make the bravest of men turn into a coward the towering force of destruction pulled the Lance of Longinus from its own chest and threw it at its twitching enemy.
If these monstrosities were gifted with human logic they would retreat as soon as they saw the lance connect with their comrade, if not then they would have decided that it was best to run when the horned behemoth ripped their comrade's arms off, however they were not gifted with a mind capable of such thoughts and that was the reason why they still refused to retreat when the bloodied beast of destruction rose back to its feet.
It had ripped one of its assailants to shreds something not new to the behemoth of destruction, a similar event took place when Bardiel was foolish enough to defy the titan's might. However it still wished for blood; blood of those who dared crossed its path.
The purple titan had lost its name, if anything it should be called the Red Devil, but since that name was already taken another valid name for the horrific view was the bloodied titan.
With its core craving for the blood of its enemies the now red-ish behemoth didn't waste any time as it elegantly jumped high into the sky and landed on the chest of its next prey. In its now bloodied hand it held the lance that earlier had been used to pierce its chest.
The remaining bringers of doom didn't stand by watching as the raging titan took them out one by one, they launched a coordinated attack at the beast from all directions, however its AT Field could only be described as a death gate, one could only enter once it was their time, even the combined force of their own fields did nothing.
The angels of death even if not gifted with an intelligent mind knew that even such a gate could be opened all they needed was the key: The Lance of Longinus.
But as if by fate all of the spears were beyond the gate and all they could do was watch as their comrade was being deconstructed by the death machine.
Before the white monster could react its wish for the Lance was realized as its head was speared. The bloodbath was over and the blood-covered monster walked calmly to its next target moving its gate of death.
The remaining five ran for the tools that would grant them victory as the horned monster repeated the deconstruction process with their fallen comrade. It was a matter of seconds before they could hold the key to victory against the enraged monstrosity, however fate once again didn't smile at them.
The ground shook from their clumsy dash and the berserker was not happy seeing them reach for his toys, he would no longer take them out one by one. Using its sheer brute force the horned behemoth sent two of his enemie's heads against the ground in hopes of smashing them immediately, his wish was granted when he saw the ground bathed in blood.
The remaining three paid no attention to the carnage happening behind them the only thing that mattered was the Lance.
Once again the bloodied monster smashed two enemies into the ground effectively taking them out of the race. Now there was only one doll to smash, and this doll had defied the titan further as it now wielded the Lance of Longinus.
Certain of its victory the last angel of death tossed the Lance at its enemy, the AT Field bent before it disappeared and the spear connected with a behemoth... Only not the desired target, the spear was definitely fast, but the horned monster was faster as in less than a second it swayed its body out of the spears way putting the carcass of his enemy in the way which stopped the weapon.
Now that the spear was back on its rightful owner's hands the horned beast used it to impale his last guest.
With slow strides it dragged the bodies into a pile and resumed its actions taking them apart.
One could assume this was a precaution to make sure they wouldn't recover, but to anyone who looked it was clear that the death machine was just doing as it pleased...
The behemoth suddenly came to a stop.
He opened his eyes, he was inside his entry plug. After a quick glance at the river of blood running outside he closed his eyes. They were no longer one...
He opened his eyes and found himself looking at the not so unfamiliar ceiling. Nerv Hospital he tought.
After a while it all came back to him, the JSSDF attacked and then came the Mass Production Evangelions, which he destroyed.
After a while where he reviewed all that had happened his body jolted up. Where are they! Misato, Rei, Asuka! When he sat up he realized he wasn't alone, sub-commander Fuyutsuki was looking at him with a stoic face.
"Ikari, I'm glad to see you're feeling better." his voice was calm like nothing had happened.
"Where are-" he couldn't talk. When he tried to ask for them his chest started to hurt, the phantom pain he had felt many times after his battles.
"Don't try to talk, your chest is still pretty injured from the battle, your synch ratio was nearly at 100 so your chest has some mild nerve damage nothing too serious though." he was trying to be reassuring but was failing miserable, Shinji wasn't worried about himself, all he wanted was to know how the others were doing.
The sub-commander continued "You must be wondering what I'm doing here and what happened, well allow me to explain." with that he started to tell him all that had happened.
The JSSDF ordered by SEELE had attacked Nerv that lost 89% of its operatives. He had successfully opened a secure line with the Japanese Government and after things were explained and negotiated the JSSDF was ordered to cease fire and retreat. His father had taken Rei to Lilith to complete his plan but was wounded by Ritsuko Akagi.
Currently Gendo Ikari was in a secret facility that worked as a max security prison for him and the members of SEELE.
"But wh-" again he found himself incapable of finishing his own words.
"You should rest Ikari in a few days you should be fine." he was about to leave but was stopped by Shinji that grabbed his jacket, the young man was determined to get some answers even if it took him a whole week to ask the question he was so desperate to make.
"Rei... As... Mis..." was all he could say but the older man understood what he wanted.
"Pilot Ayanami is waiting outside your room, as for Pilot Soryu she's in intensive care her injuries are life threatening but she's a fighter I'm confident she'll recover and will back to her hold self before you know it, as for Major Katsuragi she is already working with the rest of Nerv to clean this mess."
As if that was all he was waiting for Shinji let go of the sub-commander and just fell backwards and let sleep claim him.
Fuyutsuki stared at the boy admiring him for a while before he left to continue his work.
Author's Notes: Well this was fun to write I started with something I thought would be the easiest for me... At first I was thinking of writing something post Third Impact but then I got all depressed and decided that I was going to prevent third impact, and this was what came out, I still felt pretty depressed during the last part but oh well now that I saved the world and made everyone live we should have some happier times coming. Though I'm not declaring the Eva's dead yet.
Now this is my first fic so I would appreciate some advices and stuff, feel free to correct my English since I'm sure I made some typos along the way.
Also many thanks to the awesome OST of Rebuild Of Evangelion 2.0 that never fails to inspire me!
Now then.
Omake
The MP Eva's watched as Unit 01 appeared ready for battle.
It was an even battle even though Unit 01 was outnumbered its power was still impressive.
The battle continued for a while before the purple titan started to fail, it's movements became slow and the damage caused by the Eva series was taking its tool on the pilot.
Gendo was looking at the beating Unit 01 was taking so he made the call. Something had to be done!
"Tell the pilot to use the secret Code!"
The bridge bunnies just looked at their commander with shocked faces and gulped, no one wanted to argue with him but someone had to.
"But sir the sheer destructive power of tha-" Shigeru had been the one to try and persuade the commander but his argument was shot before he could say anything else.
"I said do it!"
"Are you sure about this Ikari?" sub-commander Fuyutsuki didn't dare go against Gendo but he had to at least see if there was some way to stop it.
However his hopes were killed when Gendo just shot him one of his trademark pedo-smiles.
"Shinji-kun use the secret code." Mayab Ibuki informed the pilot of the purple monster.
"A-Alright! Reverse mode, Secret Code: Love!"
After those words were spoken the purple behemoth started twitching and squirming before it transformed into an horrendous beast and it started its attack.
"I love you, you love me..."
"Ah sir it's just horrible!" Maya shouted while the MP Eva's just exploded making use of their self destruction function.
Towering above the remains of his opponents was the purple dinosaur of death.
And that was how Third Impact was prevented at the cost of releasing an equal evil upon the world.
