I have been looking over some reviews, and I agree with most of them. However, I don't want to change the way Shinji is. He is a biological god. Though he is the metaphorical Biblical God of his world, in reality, he is a physical, fully biological God. This is a culmination of the technology of mankind AND the technology of the First Ancestral Race. Adam and Lilith were basically biological machines designed to spread life by the F.A.R. And the F.A.R were all biological gods in their own right. This is already mind-boggling to me, so I'm not going to change it so that Shinji's the Biblical God of his world, though he might as well be. That's just not true. They are completely different things. NGE's God is the culmination of humanity's souls, which became one. DxD's God is an independent spiritual being that created humans (as the Bible says) and was powered by the beliefs of humanity, and not a physical god. For reference, ADAM is a physical god. And holy shit he is powerful! I do want to clarify, though, did ADAM do the equivalent of a suicide bomb in the Second Impact?

By the way, since the humans in DxD aren't Lilim or F.A.R. based, they won't be affected if Shinji starts off an Impact. There is going to be a powerful move based on the Second and Third Impacts, but that'll be developed later.

THANKS TO JON COOK FOR HIS BRUTAL HONESTY! I really need to step my game up, so thanks! Not an aspiring writer, but I really do need to improve.

In the previous chapter…

Shiro Sagisu - "Les Betes" (Rebuild of Evangelion 1.0)

An unholy white blaze lit up Unit-01's left eye, with red light erratically flowing out of the damaged right eye. The jaw restraints burst open, revealing metallic red, jagged teeth that would haunt the nightmares of any who witnessed it. Shinji roared.

Now…

The roar was really loud. "Holy crap," was all Issei could say. "That doesn't sound like him."

Koneko shot him a look that screamed 'Tell me something I don't know!'.

"What are you!?" screamed Viser. The purple behemoth crouched down, then leaped into a somersault, crashing straight into the thorax of Viser's lower half. Grabbing its large arms, it crushed them, eliciting a scream of pain. It jumped back with its backside facing the stray, then turned around, somehow managing to do so menacingly, its jaws parted slightly open, giving it the look of a deranged beast. It charged at her at a blinding speed as it was growling, while she tried to put up a demonic barrier. Flexing its own AT-Field, it upped its power, generating a crater in the floor, then tore through it like paper. In a panic, Viser launched two spears at its face, which then exploded. It reared back, and bent straight forward, just in time to grab the four arms that Viser launched at its face with one hand. Then, to the simultaneous astonishment, horror, and disgust, it shook until it twisted its hand clockwise with its palm upwards, twisting her limbs beyond recognition, and then kicking her back hard enough to rip them off. She also screamed. Akeno, suddenly felt a bit too hot for the moment and licked her lips. She started giggling.

The rest of the Gremory group, however, were much paler than what their natural skin colors were. Issei was the one taking it the hardest, though.

"Is that supposed to be Shinji?" blurted Issei. It was so unlike him.

Koneko could only stare. "Shinji…" She had no words. Not that it would make a difference.

The Eva Unit didn't give Viser a chance to recover, charging at her, and crashing into her. It then focused on the blue gem in the center of the behemoth's body. To the eyes of everybody involved, a section of the tall shoulder plate opened up revealing a handle. Grabbing the Progressive Knife, the Evangelion activated it, its vibration beginning and increasing in volume, pitch, and intensity to a screech. It then reached a volume that the Devils involved couldn't stand anymore, and they covered their ears to shut it out, the one suffering it the most being Viser. It then stabbed it into the gem, the vibrations eroding it. Then again. Then again. Then again. Until it shattered.

The paralyzed Viser laid on the ground defeated, with the Unit sitting on top of it. With a sound indicating it powering down, the Unit slumped forward, then life seemed to return to it as beeps were heard. Rias seemed to snap back, remembering to walk over to Viser. "Any last words?" "Kill me," miserably said Viser. "Is that so?" Rias prepared a magic circle, pointing her arms out to the sides. "Checkmate." And with that, the Power of Destruction annihilated Viser's body. With nothing to support it, Shinji's body collided with the floor. Rias and Akeno went over to support him up, as he regained consciousness, powering his armor back up again. With a tremendous effort that he was visibly shaking, he slowly looked to the left where Akeno held him and Koneko watched, and then to the right where Rias held him, and Kiba and Issei watched him with a hint of trepidation. "Ah…!" He realized what had happened. "AH…!" He then remembered exactly how he did it. Tears dripped down his face once more. His jaw cracked open. And with a mix of confusion and fear, he screamed.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Rias looked at them. "He's going to need some time to recover."

"No." Shinji blurted. "I'm fine." His body shimmered, and became his own once more

She looked at him and hung her head. "I'm sorry that it had ended this way." "Don't be." Shinji gave her a sad smile. "If everything happened the way we expected to, the world would be a better place for us, wouldn't it?"

She looked at him. "You're an aspiring leader, and I respect that. From what I could tell, this wasn't the way thing usually happened." said the boy. "I know that. I've been used before. This isn't the same."

"Shinji…" She was expecting somewhat of a reprimand from Shinji. Hyoudou wouldn't really care that much for her mistake, that she knew. She just wasn't prepared for this though.

"You know," Issei said, "I thought that mouth line was just a decoration for the faceplate. You never told me the thing had an actual fucking mouth! That threw me for a loop, man! That was pretty sick! Adds in the 'terror' factor."

"I'm sorry," was the first thing out of Shinji's mouth. He felt a bit taxed, but it was nice to talk normally again.

"You aren't afraid of me? Of what I am?" Shinji couldn't help but ask. "Well, now I'm curious." said Rias. "Well, I at least owe you that much." he paused. "Why the hell am I talking as if I know what I'm talking about? I have no fucking clue what the hell I am. Maybe it's a sacred gear?"

They looked at each other. "I'm sure we'll figure it out later." said Rias.

"President, what pieces are we, if Kiba, koneko, and Akeno are the knight, rook, and queen?" Shinji asked. "Well, you are pawns."

"... huh. How fitting." Shinji pondered out loud.

Issei realized something. "W-Wait, isn't the pawn…?"

"Yes, Issei. You're a foot soldier," Rias replied.

Hold on, THE LOWEST RANK!? YOU'RE SHITTIN' ME!

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

"So to have servants, I need to be a high-class devil, huh?" Wondered Issei. "Well, it make sense in context, right?" said Shinji. "Though it is kind of unfair since Rias was born into that position while reincarnated devils have to work their asses off for something that's not even guaranteed." Shinji was biking alongside Issei to his first client. The two would be together as partners as dictated by the President. "But I'm a pawn, the lowest piece," whined Issei. "I'm just cannon fodder." "Don't underestimate yourself, Issei."Shinji said. "You can do a lot of things. You just don't realize it." There was something in his tone that didn't belong there, sending chills down Issei's spine. It felt like melancholy. It would be an awkward few minutes before they arrive at the home they needed to go.

But still, it was a long way to being a harem king.

Shinji knew that face all too well, and sighed.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Shinji rang the doorbell, with Issei beside him. When no one answered, Issei opened the door. "Leaving the door open? That's really dangerous." "Something's not right," said Shinji. "Good evening!" called out Issei. "I'm Gremory's' servant Devil! Is the clien-" he stepped forward. "... You're right. Something's definitely wrong. I just got a bad feeling. Is anybody home?"

He remembered back to when Rias called him and Shinji for the contract.

"Koneko was requested by two clients. Could you and Shinji take care of one?"

"Yes, President" They replied in unison. "Make sure to make a contract this time. Don't let me down."

"... I won't."

"... If I go back, it'll be really embarrassing for me. Could you come with me, Shinji?" "Y-Yes!"

"I'm coming in!" They kicked off their shoes, walking into the living room. "A nice set-up huh?" They walked in. "! Something's spilled…?" He trailed off at the dark red liquid that coated his hand, trailing it to the horribly mangled body that laid ahead. "URK!" He fought the urge the throw up at the sight. "Shinji? You're seeing this too, right? Shinji!?" As he turned his head, he felt a chill from Shinji.

He wasn't in the house anymore. He was in NERV. SOMEBODY HELP ME! The screams and the horrible bullet riddled bodies spilled guts and gore as he tried to find his way.

Shinji's eyes widened. Issei wasn't faring any better. "What the fuck happened here?"

"Punishment of the wicked," came a voice from their left side. There sat a white haired man on the couch in front of the fire. "Heh. I'm quoting the Holy Scripture here." He said as he turned an utterly insane smile at them. Issei and Shinji could only be utterly terrified. The man got up. "Well, well, if it isn't a devil here, huh? My name is Freed Sellzen." He danced. "A young priest who's part of a certain exorcist organization!"

"A-a priest!?"

"Well, I'm not a worthless shit devil like you two."

Issel was about to demand why he killed those people when Shinji quietly asked. "Why?"

"You're no longer human once you start depending on demons. That's the end of the road, everybody! End of the road! That's why I eviscerated him!" Freed gave an utterly insane smile. He was about to pull out his weapons when Shinji screamed in fury, shifting straight into his EVA form a gun and a hilt toppled out of Freed's robes. Shinji immediately grabbed them, activating the hilt, which turned out to be a blade of light. Issei couldn't help but exclaim.

"A light sword!?" Freed pulled out a spare gun and blade.

"You took my stuff! I'm gonna gouge your hearts out, and get some head shots, starting with the boy!" He leapt towards the boy.

All Shinji had to do was look.

A barrier of light manifested between Freed and Issei, blocking his swing as Hyoudou dashed past. "Tch!" He pointed his gun at Issei's leg and fired. "That's an exorcist's golden bullet. Like it?" He fired at Shinji's head.

"Shinji! Run!"

The bullet landed, bouncing off the plating, but transferring force to his head. Shinji's head snapped back.

"Damn you!" snapped Hyoudou, manifesting his Sacred Gear.

"Well… I call Hax!" Freed exclaimed. "It'll be more fun to exorcise you!"

He nearly stabbed him when a familiar scream echoed throughout the room. Freed looked back.

"Ah, Asia-chan, my assistant! Did you finish setting up the magical barrier?" A shell-shocked Asia started at the corpses.

"Ah, this is your first time, right? We kill off worthless subhumans enticed by devils, you see." Asia looked down, and gasped.

"Issei-san?" "Asia?"

"Asia?" She looked back at a glowing light which receded to reveal Shinji Ikari, albeit with a face of devastation.

"Shinji?"

"What? You know each other, huh?"

"Why are you two…?"

"Sorry. I'm a… devil, Asia."

"Shinji, you too?"

"I'm a special case, but… I'm with Issei on this one."

"Wait, Issei, so you're a… Devil?"

"I wasn't trying to decieve you." a distraught Issei pleaded. "That's why I thought it might be best if we never met… again." Issei trailed off, unable to make eye contact with her, looking away.

"Unfortunately for you, Asia, Devils and humans are… incompatible. Not to mention we can't live without the protection of fallen angels."

"Fuck you!" A tearing enraged Shinji Ikari charged at him, clashing blades with him.

"Why the hell are you trying to tear them apart!?"

"Why? Because Devils shouldn't exist!"

Asia ran in between them. "Wait! Issei and Shinji are good people! Please don't fight! Freed, if you killed them, God won't forgive you."

"... Huh? Don't give me that shit!" He slashed at her, undoing most of her clothing in the front. Shinji froze. Freed stabbed his blade into the ground.

"Damn you, haven't you lost your mind?" He held her up forcefully by the chin.

"The fallen angel woman told me not to hurt you…" He stared into the terrified eyes of Asia.

"... But you do need to be punished!" He stabbed her sleeves above her, beginning to molest her.

I'm so fucked up.

"Let her go." an enraged Issei growled. He stood up. "Oh, is that so?" mocked Sellzen.

Freed was completely unprepared for the dual-wielding purple ball of rage that crashed straight into him. Issei charged his Gear up, and punched Freed. In. The. Face. "Ow!"

"... I am going to break the world record for making the finest human mincemeat ever!" He pulled out another blade. Another one!? He shot Shinji in the eye in the time it took to blink, eliciting a bloodcurdling scream.

"Now there's you!". He jumped.

At the same time that the Gremory crest of magic formed, Shinji's eye glowed.

Kiba Yuuto charged straight out of the circle. Clashing blades with the priest, he asked, "You guys okay?"

"Just fuckin' dandy. Shinji lost his eye again! And… oh crap."

"What?" Akeno and Koneko had just gotten out the circle.

"Shinji's eyes are glowing red!"

"...okay, GET BACK!" Freed decide to provoke him.

"So what are you going to do?" Armor covered his enraged face as he grew taller. "I'm gonna kick your ass."

"By what, glaring at me?" In response, a blinding light shone from its left eye, before shooting out a high-impact laser, knocking Freed back. Shinji then roared in pain. God, no wonder Angels were always pissed. Of course they would be when their eyes are constantly burned out!

"Disappear." came a voice from within the magic circle, when a dark energy flashed out to where Freed was less than a second ago. Rias Gremory walked out. She then turned to hold both their faces in each of their hands, a hint of self-chastisement in her expression.

"I screwed it up and did it again." sighed Issei.

"I'm sorry." She turned her head towards Shinji's armored face, tilting upwards due to his height. "I should have seen this coming, or else I wouldn't have––!"

"Stop beating yourselves up, both of you." She knelt down, as did Shinji.

"I didn't know that a stray exorcist was lurking around here. I'm sorry."

Shinji wryly smiled.

"Never expected you to know."

"AAGH!"

"Asia!" cried Issei. Rias glared at Sellzen. "It's my policy to show no mercy to anyone who hurts my servant. In fact, I dislike it even more when someone as vulgar as you damages my property!" "Oh, you look pretty powerful!" Freed nervously backed away from a crimson glowing Rias. "I mean, this is pretty bad." Koneko sniffed. "Multiple fallen angels." Shinji's head snapped up, and both of his eyes ignited. In a display of power, he accidently blew off the top of the house. Freed laughed nervously. "Maybe I shouldn't have pissed him off."

"We need to evacuate. Now!" Rias commanded. "Akeno, get us out of here. Koneko you get Issei. And maybe Shinji." "Got it."

Help me!

Somebody, help me!
SHINJI!

The more things change, he thought, the more they stay the same. And thus, he did nothing, as Issei cried out for Asia whilst he was pulled away.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Yeah. He basically did almost nothing. Because canon! Remember when Shinji did nothing when Asuka was being torn apart because of his overriding fears? This time, it's the memories. Though Shinji reverts back to the more outspoken boy he was before NERV's shenanigans, he still has massive baggage. I guess I'm making him just as hateable as he was in EoE in this one scene, but it won't happen again. I may change canon, but I don't know how right now.. It can pretty much make him a liability, but even so, along with the Red Dragon Emperor, he is the ultimate wildcard. I'm planning for a double berserker event, anyways.

Also, I had him take two light swords. Because they are awesome. And because he's not exactly a devil, he can use them. And dual wield. He's going to have to train with Kiba to use them effectively, though.

This is my most hated chapter, by the way. I'm not sure how to write it, but I did it anyways. I wrote this before Jon Cook's review, so it's gonna be pretty clunky. I also wrote Chapter 6 before I saw his review as well.
