Chapter 29

Five lances went towards her and she easily dodged four of them. Then the time was over for her and she went immobile. That's why she couldn't dodge the lance that got through the right side of her chest.

"ASUKA!" Shouted Shinji.

Kaworu cursed while he flew towards Unit 02. Misato ordered to take out the entry-plug and Kaworu took her out of it. She was bleeding from the chest and she was unconscious.

"Kaworu! Stay with her and protect her!"

"What about you?" replied him using his A. as a force attack towards an Eva that was quite close.

"I'll be fine, don't worry about me!"

The eva series didn't miss a thing. They were on advantage then and they knew it. They used the old tactic "divide and conquer". Two of them attacking Asuka to keep Kaworu entertained while the other three attacked their real objective. Evangelion Unit 01.


At Nerv's…

"We found him!" Said Aoba.

"Where is he?" Asked the Sub Commander.

"Restricted area THETA-04, Sir!"

What are you looking for?

"Dr. Akagi!"

"Sub Commander?"

"We found him in THETA-04. What's in there?"

Ritsuko went pale.

"No way… I was the only one who knew that…"

"What-is-in-there!"

"What you ordered me to lock after the last angel demise. What was left from her."

"But if he's really looking for THAT… Then…"

"Exactly. There was a 0,0009 of probabilities, as I told both of you."

"He is awoken. But how?"

"She must have called him. Her mind is now in herself, now that there is no more body left to contain it."

"It seems the Lance only restrain her movement."

"Indeed."

"Which options do we have?"

"Just two. We left him do his job and we have 3rd Impact. Or we destroy him, as if we could, and humanity stay stuck in its evolution forever."

"Forever just until we have to destroy her as well, with the result of we all being destroyed." Ended Fuyutski.

"Maybe we won't have to wait much. Those bastards seem to have the upper hand now. You two really can talk." Said Misato angrily.

"Misato, I didn't mean to…" Started Ritsuko.

"Save it. I haven't got the time right now for more of your lies." Replied her. "Just be useful and use your brain, Ok?"

"Sure."

Certainly the situation had gotten worse. While two evas kept Kaworu occupied, the other three had inserted their lances into Unit 01's hands and feet in a quite known position. Using the A. they levitated all together. New data was gathered by MAGGI.

"The eva series have unleashed their A. T. Fields." Announced Ibuki.

"The dimensional values are inverting!" Notified Hyuga.

"I can't believe it… An Anti-A. T. Field!" Said Ritsuko amazed.


Floating in the air, Eva-Shinji tried to get free but he found that task quite impossible.

"I can't move!"

"Shinji!" Kaworu made an attempt to go to help him.

"No! Don't move! You must protect Asuka!" Shinji prevented him before starting to scream.

"NO!" Shouted Kaworu.

He flew towards him at full speed. The two other eva-series pointed the lances towards him.

"Out of my way!!!"


"Unbelievable! The blast from the boy's A. T. Field has liquated those two evas!" Said Misato.

"No way! Not Even Zeruel was that strong."

"It seems not only the evas can go into berserk mode." Commented Ritsuko.


When Kaworu's A. T. Field touched Shinji's A. T. Field and the evas series' Fields, time seemed to stop. Both boys went to the depths of their minds and souls.

What's that noise? Could it be…Shinji's heart?

That's Kaworu's heart or mine? It feels so similar…As if our beats were synchronised.


"That's a combined A. T. Field!" Said Aoba

"The anti-A. T. Field is resonating!" noticed Hyuga.

"One against each other, who will win?" whispered Misato worried.

"The energy unleashing is out of scale!"

"That light is too strong!"

Then, the light's intensity increased till it blinded them all. When their eyes adapted again they could only see Unit 01 and the silver haired boy.

"Eva series have… disappeared?" Asked Misato

"Farewell, old bastards!" said Fuyutski with a smile.


Outside…

"We made it!" Said Kaworu.

"Asuka! How is she?" asked Shinji.

"Bad. She needs treatment right away!"

"You heard that Misato?"

"I had already requested it." replied her.

"Shinji, Kaworu, beware!"

"What's wrong, Ritsuko?"

"I think she talks about that." Kaworu pointed to one of the exits of Nervs, where a figure with the shape and size of a human but shining with pure light was. It started to come towards them.

"Stay back, my friend. I think that thing wants a purple punch in its face." Said Shinji in a tone no one have ever heard him.

"Don't even think about it, kid! Whatever happens, don't touch him! Or we'll be doomed." Advised Ritsuko.

"Then I'll try myself." Suggested Kaworu.

He attacked with his A., but the creature blocked it easily. The counter sent him flying backwards. Shinji went to help him and caught him before falling to the ground.

"Are you ok?"

"I-I think so."

"Stay here, I'll teach him modals!"

"No! You can't touch him!"

"Why do I think you know something I don't?"

"I realized just now. That energy… It's him!" Kaworu seemed really scared.

"Who?"

"Adam!"

"The first Angel? Wasn't he your father or something?"

"Or something. The fact you have to know is that Adam and Lilith must not be together or the 3rd impact will occur. And since Unit 01 was made from Lilith…" Said him in a very serious tone.

"Rei told you that? Ok. How do we fight him?"

"Well, you can't touch him and he's stronger than me. Not good. Besides, he's not interested in us."

Shinji looked at it. Adam was approaching Unit 02. Fortunately a medic unit just has taken Asuka away. They saw how he merged with the Eva, transforming into a giant of light.

"So, that's why he came. He needed the copy from his body to get whole again. Well, that's more like the Adam I know." Said Kaworu.

"Where is he going?"

"Back to Geofront… Oh, no!" Kaworu realized about Adam's intention.
