A/N: The time is at hand. This is the final battle and-

"Silence mortal…" Sammael growls before vaporizing the author with black flames. "This is MY story now and this is the END for humanity."

"No…humanity still stands a chance of victory…" Vanpat's voice calls out. "It's just a matter of doing what must be done…"

"Your body is gone…yet your soul remains. How amusing…" Sammael muttered.

"Yeah…well, since I'm vaporized, it's your turn to do the Disclaimer…" Vanpat whispers softly.

"Vanpat does not own Neon Genesis Evangelion in any shape, form, or method." Sammael states in a firm voice, "I will own it after everyone is DEAD!"

"That's nice. We don't care…" Vanpat mutters. "Also…this chapter will have depressing and tearful events. You were warned."


The Commander of the JSSDF, who was the one in charge of the operation that attacked Nerv HQ before Third Impact, stares up at the sky as the eight Eva Units fly up, "Heh, looks like we're on their side now, huh?" He notes calmly, "Sort of ironic, huh?"

The soldier monitoring the current layout of the military systems on a laptop nods in agreement, both of them watching the situation unfold next to a large JSSDF vehicle with a satellite dish on top of it. The Commander of the JSSDF was standing while the soldier was sitting with the laptop on a small table in front of him. "Yeah…the last time we were here, we were fighting for SEELE against Ikari and Nerv…but now, we're fighting with Nerv against an enemy greater than anything we've ever faced before." He mutters softly.

Another soldier runs out from behind the vehicle. "Sir, Commander Ikari says things are ready on his end!" He shouted as the red circle in the sky is complete. "Whoa…" The man whispers in awe.

"Hmm…" The JSSDF Commander puts on a pair of goggles and looks up at the eclipse. He watches as a pentagram appears on the Moon. "Once in a lifetime solar eclipse, isn't it?" He notes before walking over to and past the other soldier with both of them following behind him. He enters the vehicle and there are multiple computer screens and control consoles lining the interior walls with soldiers working on them. The JSSDF Commander walks over to the computer screen on the far end and sits down in the empty chair before staring at the face of Commander Ikari. "Hello Commander Ikari."

"Let's cut the short talk, Commander Tarvon." Ikari states coldly, "What's the status of the N2 warheads?"

A/N: I came up with a name for him. That is all.

"Only five hundred and twenty seven were successfully armed and ready. The remaining N2 missiles are too far away to get into striking distance of the enemy or modified to go the kind of distance needed." Tarvon sighs, "The U.N.'s military budget will likely be in shambles after all the modifications needed to prep the warheads for escape velocity and for space travel."

"Perhaps, but this is a necessary battle-" Ikari's voice is cut off by a shout.

"The Doorway has opened! The Magi are detecting a massive AT Field! It has a black Waveform pattern!" Hyuga is heard shouting.

"…It's time. Major Katsuragi will be in charge of directing your forces, Commander Tarvon." Ikari nods to the man before his face vanishes and Misato's face appears on screen with a headset on.

"Okay you all, supporting these kids out there is vital. We're talking about an opponent that transcends the threat of the Angels, Crimson Angels, and SEELE all put together. Got it?"

"Of course, Major Katsuragi," Commander Tarvon salutes to her, as do the other soldiers in the vehicle.


"I'm surprised they put Misato in charge of this whole operation…" Serena mutters from the Secondary Commander Center with Kodama, Nozomi, and Akira are stationed at computer screens that could monitor the situations of the pilots but nothing else.

Ritsuko nods, "Commander Ikari has decided to put a great deal of trust in Misato with this operation."

"Wait, who's in charge of the pilots then?" Kodama asked curiously. "Is Misato handling that too?"

"Sort of," Ritsuko replies, "Misato is mostly giving them free rein out there. After all, they know what they have to do and they can fight for themselves." She chuckles, "They've grown up a lot…Anyways; I'd better head over to the Command Center now. Stay here and watch the situation." She moves at a brisk walk to the door and exits the room.


The single clawed hand slams into the Moon from the opening, as if trying to pull out what was on the other end. The three red eyes send chills down the spines of the Eva Pilots, who were at the halfway point from the Moon. "It looks like it's having trouble…" Toji mutters, "It's been five minutes already and he just got his claw out."

"Yeah…" Asuka sounded uneasy, but she knew that her AT Field would be needed later rather than now.

"Everyone, stay calm." Yui replies as she appears in Shinji's entry plug and is currently floating next to the Third Child. "Sammael is having difficulty because one of the secondary locks is not broken." She glances through the visual of their surroundings and at Unit 04, which has two blood red wings rather than golden wings because of his Crimson Angel DNA. "However, he'll be coming out in a few minutes. The seal is weak enough that he can break out now…but his power will be drained by doing this." She pauses, "I can't calculate the amount of power he truly has, but if he reaches Divinity on this side of the Doorway, the remainder of his power will automatically transfer to his body. I'd advise not letting that happen."

"Great advice," Asuka remarks sarcastically. Unit 02 glows golden as the wing count goes from two to four.

"Enough sarcasm, Asuka," Yui snapped, "Right now, you all fighting Sammael is humanity's last hope." She looks serious, "If Sammael becomes a God, I have only one countermeasure…and none of you will like the idea of doing that, so don't bother asking."

"Let's go!" Shinji shouted as his wing count grew to four before Unit 01 flew at high speeds towards the Moon with Units 02, 03, and 05 following him. The remainder of the Evas stay put, deciding to go with the idea of switching in and out of combat to conserve energy.

As Shinji approaches the Moon, another clawed hand grips the other side of the Doorway opening. "…Howl, Werivor." Sammael is heard whispering before a sonic shockwave of energy reverberates throughout the area, stunning the pilots and causing them to clutch their heads painfully before putting their Eva's AT Field to defend against the attack. After the attack fades away, they raise their own AT Field to protect themselves from Sammael's influence. Everyone's AT Fields were golden in color.

"Here he comes…" Toji mutters as he readies his axe. Unit 01 charges his AT Field into his sword and Unit 02 does the same. Unit 05 activates his positron rifle and targets the center point of Sammael's three eyes before firing at it. The beam flies closer to the Moon before a second clawed hand reaches out and blocks the attack with ease before grabbing the Moon tightly. The Doorway vanishes behind a sheet of red hot flames as Sammael's head leaves the World of Darkness. Suddenly, the Moon explodes outwards and into countless pieces, which fly in all directions, even at the Eva Pilots.


"He…spread out his AT Field…and destroyed the Moon…" Hyuga whispers fearfully. "What kind of monster is this guy?"

Everyone watching the situation was freaked out at this point, even Commander Ikari, but he managed to hide it better. Ritsuko dashes into the room and heads up to the control deck before noticing Misato's shocked expression at the screen and looks at what Misato is staring at. Ritsuko's eyes widen in shock at the state of the Moon. 'Oh my God…'

"Hey, Misato! Get your act together!" Ritsuko snapped, pushing the situation with the Moon's destruction behind her for now. Without the Moon, the Earth's seasons would become unstable and the situation would likely be as bad, if not worse, than the aftermath of Second Impact. "You're in charge of this operation and we can't have you in shock like this!"

Misato shakes her head quickly before opening communications with the U.N. and JSSDF forces. "Okay you all. We'll need to get rid of that debris before it reaches Earth, got it?"

"Understood, Major Katsuragi," Even the JSSDF Commander was shaken at this situation.


"This is insane!" Kensuke shouted as he fires his positron rifle at the incoming debris, but doing little damage before being forced to fly out of the way.

"Shiest!" Asuka swears as she dodges the incoming meteors before realizing they're heading straight for Earth, and most of them were big enough to do serious damage. "No!"

"Don't worry guys. We've got it under control." Misato smirks before opening communications with the U.N. forces. "Fire missiles twelve through fifty seven and target those meteors! Now!"

Fourth five N2 Warheads were launched from either submarines or warships in Japanese waters into orbit, past the other Eva Units that were to switch in later, and intercepted the meteors halfway between the first line of defense to the second and the Earth, causing most of the debris to be destroyed. When the remainder of the debris came closer, Misato had the U.N. fire another wave of N2 Warheads, which destroyed the rest of it. "That was awesome!" Kensuke shouted as he looked at the light show behind him before focusing on the creature now visible and freed from the Doorway.

Sammael truly had abandoned his Angel form and now was covered in black armor-like scales with red hot flames flowing under them. In fact, he was nearly identical to Varian's second form, the Shadow of Sammael, yet also quite different. It seemed more…real, as well as more ominous, and there were no wings on its back. Had the pilots not received the AT Field training and weren't using their AT Fields around their bodies now; their souls would have been torn apart or corrupted by Sammael's power. The pilots staying in reserve in the back line felt the same as Hikari did when Varian first used the Shadow of Sammael, even at this distance his presence and influence were overpowering.

"Tch…you've got to be kidding me…" Patrick muttered before feeling a stabbing pain in his body as Varkon's power increased. 'Damnit, I'm not letting you take over now…!' He thinks to himself as he put his AT Field aura up, golden in color, around his body. The other pilots were freaked out but Rei quickly orders them to put up their AT Fields, her own body surrounded by a golden light. Hikari and Sarah nod, quickly putting up a golden aura around their body.

"…Bind, Benivar." Sammael whispers before countless black chains with spikes at the end of them fly out at the remaining rubble from the Moon that wasn't aimed from the Moon and attaches to them, "…Shift, Morphile." The rubble from the Moon glows with a red aura before it changes form into a variety of shapes, such as swords, shields, spears and other weapons. What chills the children though is the debris now in the form of previous Crimson Angels, such as Doragon, Revalt, and even Shalock. Worse yet, there was more than one of them each.

"Oh hell no…" Asuka mutters before the jaws of the copies of Doragon open and fire a wave of black flames at the Evangelion Units. Unit 02 fires a massive AT Field slash infused with white flames that she produced with her Elemental Armor at the incoming attack. The slash cuts through and destroys half of the black flames before cutting through and ripping apart some copies of Doragon and Shalock.

The copies of Morlina's second form, which were larger and more demonic appearing than Loriana's second form (They had blood red bat wings and black hair), create a gravity field around the Evangelions in order to slow their movements as the copies of Chivalt's second form charge through the field, completely unaffected by the gravity, and slash or slam into the Evangelions.

Unit 01 blocks the Chivalt copy he is facing with his sword and is surprised to see the copy get cut through, as if its sword and form couldn't withstand the original Chivalt's sword. 'Wait…' Shinji blinks in surprise as the form of Chivalt fades away to reveal the rubble from the Moon. "Use an Anti-AT Field!" Shinji shouted, "All he's doing is changing their shape with an AT Field!"

Asuka blinks with surprise at the announcement, currently blocking the Chivalt copy she's fighting with a diamond wall, "Oh really?" She smirks before stabbing into her diamond wall, which glows with a golden light before it turns into a barrage of diamond spikes that shred through Chivalt and sever the chain connected to him, causing the image of him to vanish. "It looks like he needs those chains to keep them in that form too!" Asuka shouted before creating an array of diamond-bladed sword with elaborately made and designed hilts. The redhead grins before using her AT Field to fire the swords at the chains, severing many of the meteors from their source.

Unit 03 absorbs all the energy his axe can hold from Morlina's gravity field before firing a barrage of Anti-AT Field spheres at the small army of fallen Crimson Angels. This attack not only shatters the gravity field around them a moment before Asuka's counterattack against the small army, but also tears some of the copies of the Crimson Angels apart. A copy of Revalt manages to fly through the barrage and is about to use an Anti-AT Field point blank on Unit 03 before its head is blown clean off by Unit 05's positron rifle.

"Nice shot, Kensuke!" Toji shouted before cutting through the remains of 'Revalt,' also destroying the chain at the end.

"Thanks Toji." Kensuke replies with a chuckle before firing a barrage of white energy blasts from his Crimson Angel weapon at a storm of incoming black fireballs, canceling them out with ease before he fires a massive white energy beam.


Misato bites her lips nervously as she watches the Magi monitor Sammael's power level. It started at 100 the moment he came through but now it read 450. "Everyone, you need to move in closer and actually damage that guy quickly. His power level is rising too quickly."


Shinji nods before closing his eyes and calming himself as the aura around his body become purple in color. His Eva glows with a purple aura as six AT Field wings, purple in color, adorn his back. 'Let's go, Mother.'

'Right,' Yui responds before Unit 01 vanishes and reappears at multiple points on the battlefield around Sammael before finally stopping behind the Devil with his sword glowing brightly; every single black chain was broken and shattered. Unit 01's wing count had dropped to two before he swings around and slashes at Sammael's back. A pitch black AT Field appears between them before Chivalt's sword shifts in form and its hilt is now adorned with purple chains that come from a green pummel stone attached to the bottom of the hilt.

The chains fly at the AT Field and almost seem to be endless as small blades form on them and rip into the pitch black AT Field as Chivalt's sword cuts through the AT Field and leaves a deep gash in Sammael's back before Unit 01 flies back, its purple aura vanishing and the chains retracting back into the pummel stone on the bottom of the hilt.

"Damn you…" Sammael growls angrily before surrounding his body in red hot flames as his wound regenerates; the flames flying out at Unit 01. Asuka flies by and tows Unit 01 away from the attack.

"Shinji, don't do something that crazy again…that's something I'd normally do." Asuka mutters to her boyfriend. "Take a break for now, okay?"

"Alright, Asuka…" Shinji whispers wearily.


"Shinji is exhausted," Maya reported, "Unit 07 is flying into the battlefield to take his place."

Misato nods, "Good. How is everyone else?"

"Asuka is weary but she'll be good for another few minutes. Kensuke and Toji are in great shape, however," Hyuga reports.

"Alright…tell Asuka to withdraw with Shinji and have Sarah head in there with Hikari." Misato orders before opening communications with the JSSDF forces. "We'll hold back the N2 Warheads in case Sammael gets too close to the Earth."

"Understood," Commander Tarvon salutes.


Sarah and Hikari flew into the battlefield with two AT Field wings each, both of them unable to get a wing count any higher than two. Unit 06 charges its AT Field into its Gravity Spear before firing a barrage of electromagnetic slashes at the creature. It raises its AT Field, black in color, and easily blocks the attacks. Hikari raises her right arm (an action mimed by her Eva Unit) and clenches her fist, which fires a massive golden-white energy bolt through the black AT Field and Sammael's chest, leaving a nice big hole. The electromagnetic slashes previously blocked by Sammael's AT Field flew into its body and left deep gashes in it.

"You bitch!" Sammael roars before firing a massive Anti-AT Field in all directions, which vaporized the remains of his chains and the meteors as it flew at the Eva Units.

"Everyone, get behind me!" Hikari shouted before raises her left arm and focusing her Eva's AT Field into the golden cross attached to it. The other Evas quickly fly behind her as the Anti-AT Field approaches them, 'Now!' Hikari thinks to herself before shouting, "Absolute Territory Field!" A massive rainbow colored barrier appears, generated from the golden cross on Unit 07's left arm, and repels the Anti-AT Field with ease.

Sammael's three eyes widen in amazement, "That's impossible! No human could-" He suddenly growls as he stares at the cross on her left arm. "…Varian…you bastard…" The air feels heavy in the entry plugs of the pilots as a pitch black aura overtakes the flames around his body. "He dares to betray me?" He roared as a feeling of bloodlust comes from Sammael.

Patrick flinches as he and the other pilots either in reserve or resting can feel Sammael's rage from here. 'Hehehe…it's over for all of you now…' Varkon mutters smugly, 'Angering my Master just multiples his power.'

'Shut up, you asshole…' Patrick retorted mentally as six demonic blood red wings appear on Sammael's back; his body growing larger in size. "…This is bad…" He mutters before flying towards the battlefield.

Rei's eyes widen before, surprisingly, she swears before flying after Unit 04 and towards the battlefield.


Sammael roars loudly, firing a sonic shockwave at the Evas and blasting them back, even though Hikari's Absolute Territory Field is still up, which prevents damage from touching her and the other Evas in combat. Sammael charges up to Unit 07 and summons a sword of pure darkness before swinging it down with his right arm at the Absolute Territory Field. Hikari's eyes widen as the blade cuts deeply into her barrier before she flies backwards with the other Evangelions, letting her barrier drop. "How could he break through that?" She demanded in amazement.

"This is the Sword of Habakiri." Sammael chuckles darkly, "It can pierce any spiritual barrier with ease, as it tears into the soul itself. In other words, your AT Field is easy to sever with this." The darkness around the blade vanishes, which reveals the pure white ethereal blade and a black hilt. Hikari painfully clutches her chest, "Also…trying to block this attack with an AT Field will damage the soul of the user itself."

"Damn it…" Toji swears before calming down and focusing on calming himself as his golden aura shifts to a yellow color as two angelic wings grow on his back. Four AT Field wings adorn his Eva's back that are bright yellow in color as his axe glows brightly. "Let's go…" He raises his axe, but before he can gather enough energy, Sammael slashes his sword diagonally down at him.

Suddenly, Unit 06 dashes down diagonally from the other side and slams her Gravity Spear down at the blade in order to redirect the attack; a massive gravity field intensifying the force of her attack. She feels her body burning from the pain of having her AT Field, although indirectly, touch the Sword of Habakiri. Seven modified Spear of Longinus copies stab into Sammael's right arm at his elbow, wrist, shoulder, and two at each segment of his arm before energy crosses erupt from every point on the Spear copies, skewering Sammael's right arm.

This causes Sammael to scream in pain and fire a barrage of black fireballs at the Eva Units. Kensuke fires a massive white energy beam that cancels out the fireballs and burns Sammael's face. Unit 00 discards the positron sniper rifle Rei took with her and pulls the Spear of Longinus from her back and swings it down with both hands; a white aura around the now two-pronged spear. 'It looks like I won't even need my sniper rifle…' Rei thinks softly to himself before flying at Sammael and slashing deeply into his left side while Kensuke's attack blinded him temporarily.


"Major Katsuragi, Sammael is slowly pushing everyone ba-" Hyuga's eyes widen in amazement, "Toji's sync jumped to 800!"

"What did you say?" Ritsuko demanded.


"Take this!" Toji shouted before creating a truly massive Anti-AT Field sphere that rips Sammael's entire lower body into nothingness, only his upper chest, half of his arms and his head intact. Asuka gapes at the sheer damage that Toji just DID from a distance.

"Mein Gott…" Asuka whispers as she focuses on recovering her energy. Rei had taught her and Shinji a way to restore their energy. It involved using their AT Field to intensify the rate of recovery, but the exhaustion that occurs after your energy is depleted is four times worse than normal exhaustion. Shinji was also slowly recovering his energy as he watched with concern. "What's wrong?"

"…I have a bad feeling about this…" Shinji mutters softly.

"Ha, we got him!" Kensuke shouted happily before noticing the expression on Sarah's face, a mix of pure fear and disgust as her AT Field aura becomes red. "Wh-"

"…He's alive…he's…toying with us…" Sarah whispers fearfully as the damage done to Sammael quickly regenerates within a matter of seconds with a maniacal grin on his face. She gasps as a vision flows into her mind, "Toji, move now!"

Unit 03 was unable to move, having used his remaining energy with that attack. Sammael's blade cuts straight through the Eva, cutting it clean in half and causing it to explode. Time seemed to stop at that moment for every one of them.


"TOJI!" Akira screams tearfully, trying to pound on the computer screen as if it would bring him back but Kodama stopped her and hugged Toji's little sister against her chest. At first, she struggled but then she relented; crying and weeping against Kodama's chest.


Misato swears angrily before opening communications with the JSSDF. "How many of your missiles can hit that son of a bitch?"

"At this range…about two hundred." Tarvon looked a bit fearful at the both enraged and sad face Major Katsuragi.

"Launch them all."

Tarvon blinks in surprise, "Huh?"

"Launch them all NOW!" Misato practically screamed at him. "I want that bastard blown back to HELL!"


"TOJI!" Hikari screams tearfully as she flies towards the wreckage, not caring that Sammael was grinning evilly and swinging his sword and her now. Just before the sword reaches her, Unit 00 blocks the blade with the Spear of Longinus. Unit 07 stops in front of the wreckage and looks frantically for an entry plug, only to gasp as she sees the destroyed entry plug and limp hand of the Fourth Child. "DAMN YOU!" She roared as her aura became as black as night and she fires countless massive black energy bolts at Sammael, who just grins as he absorbs the AT Field powers that were filled with Hikari's sadness and anger, which acted as nourishment for him.

Sarah swears angrily before trying to calm her mind, but unable to. The visions of her friend's deaths kept rushing into her mind. Patrick becomes deathly silent before speaking to the Crimson Angel, 'Varkon…give me power. You can do whatever you like with my body and soul, but I WILL win this.'

Varkon chuckles evilly, 'Very well…' He knew that power used in anger would just feed Sammael, hence giving this idiot his powers would be a benefit.

Patrick glows with a blood red aura before his hair becomes black as night and his eyes as red as his aura. The Spear copies fly through Sammael's body like a hot knife through butter, skewering him relentlessly. 'Wait-' Varkon realized he just gave up his powers without understanding Patrick's intent. He wasn't angry. 'YOU BASTARD!' He tries to take his powers back but it was too late.

One Spear copy embedded itself in each hand and foot, the center of his chest, his head, and his tail as Unit 04 reaches 400 sync and its aura becomes dark blue in color.

"Celestial Cross." He whispers as pure energy in the shape of a cross tears Sammael's body apart painfully, catching Hikari's attention and snapping her out of her angered state. Patrick breathes heavily before a white blade stabs out from the light and at his head but, before it reaches him, Unit 06 pushes him out of the way and is stabbed instead, but in the chest. "S-Sarah…?" Patrick looks horrified at the visual of her, who has blood running from her mouth.

"Heh…looks like…I saved you this time…" Sarah whispers before coughing up some blood. Her eyes widen as she sees what will occur and smiles. "I see…so that's why…this had to happen…" Unit 06 holds out the Gravity Spear, "Take this…to Unit 01; along with…Toji's Axe…and your weapon…Trust me…" She whispers before becoming motionless.

Patrick closes his eyes and turns the communications window off to Unit 06, unable to watch her beloved's dead body any longer. Tears streamed down his cheeks as he realized just how painful losing a boy/girlfriend was, and he hated himself for doing that to Sarah not just once, but twice. He had to focus…right now…he had to get these weapons to Shinji. He wasn't sure why…but Sarah's expression hinted a ray of hope in this dark time. The Fifth Child bit back his tears and took Unit 06's Gravity Spear before opening communications with Hikari, who was crying her heart out as Unit 05 just stood there in shock and Unit 00 used hit and run tactics, but was obviously affected by two deaths so far as Rei's aura was golden instead of white.

"Hikari…take Toji's axe and give it to Shinji." Patrick whispers, "We need to do this, okay?" Hikari wasn't listening so he reached out his AT Field and grabbed Toji's axe from a long distance. He regretted that because his body felt like it was burning as Varkon struggled to overtake his soul. 'Shut up…I'm doing this now…'

'I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS!' Varkon roared loudly as Patrick felt his control slipping.

'Shit…not now…' He thinks painfully to himself, "Kensuke!" He shouted into a communication window to Unit 05, which showed the Sixth Child staring in shock. "Snap…out of it, damnit!" Kensuke shakes his head before turning to Patrick, tears forming in his eyes. "Listen to me…take Toji's axe and Sarah's spear to Shinji…I'll take over for you." He nods sadly before flying over and grabbing the spear and the axe before flying back towards Shinji and Asuka, the latter flying straight back into the battlefield.

"Asuka…I'm going to give you every ounce of my power." Patrick whispers painfully before his seven Spear copies glow with a golden light and pierce into Unit 02's Elemental Armor. However, rather than running the Eva through, it seemed to fuse with the armor. "Stay calm…Don't let your anger control you out there…" He blinks in surprise that the aura around Unit 02 wasn't dark red or black…but pure bright red.

"…I know." Asuka states in an eerily calm voice as Unit 04's staff flies out of his hand onto into Unit 02's Elemental Armor, also fusing with it. "I won't lose myself out there. Good luck." She flies past Unit 04 with a pure light surrounding her Eva that seems to shine over the Evas and Sammael. Hikari, Kensuke and Rei's eyes all widen as a feeling of comfort and peace descends upon them. The light, however, only caused screams of pain from Sammael. "Everyone…let's go…"


"Asuka's sync is 999!" Maya shouted, "Her heart and psychographs detect no anomalies!"

Misato has a tear falling from her cheek before shaking her head. "Asuka, I've launched about two hundred N2 missiles. They'll be targeting Sammael so-"

"I know." Asuka states calmly, her eyes appearing to show no emotion. "I'll handle this."


Asuka was devastated by the loss of two people. Sure, she had arguments with Toji and Sarah, but she didn't want them dead. The redhead, after they fell, used her AT Field just like Rei showed her to do. 'When your heart is troubled, close it off. Let go of everything and just fight. However…doing this may forever close off your heart.'

'I don't care…' Asuka thought to herself as she raises her sword into the air as the missiles approach. Every one of them is surrounded by a red aura that quickly changes into pure white flames. Sammael's eyes narrow as he knocks Unit 00 away with his claw before his black aura fires out at Unit 02. Asuka's eyes are pure purple as she swings her sword down with indifference. Every missile compresses into the shape of pure white arrows before shooting out at Sammael, ripping his aura apart and skewering him with arrows in his chest. "It's over." The N2 Warheads detonate, causing a massive explosion that would have leveled an entire continent had it occurred on Earth to envelop Sammael completely.

Rei stares at the Second Child with amazement before shaking her head, 'I need to focus…that severely damaged Sammael but he still has too much power…' She stares sadly at the visual of Asuka's face, which showed no emotion. 'I can't believe she actually closed her heart off.'

"Damn…you…" Sammael gasps out in a demonic voice as the light from the explosions vanished and his wrecked body hovered in the air in front of them. His wings were gone and did not regenerate with the rest of his body, which took longer to heal than it normally would.

Asuka sighs softly before she looked at the face of her beloved in the communication window. Shinji was shaken and had his head in his hands with his eyes closed. She knew why he was acting like this. The current situation, where everyone was dying around him, just reminded him of Third Impact. 'Just stay there, Shinji. I'll handle this.'

"BURN IN HELLFIRE, YOU BITCH!" Sammael roared with pure malice as his six demonic wings grew on his back again before a wave of crimson energy beams fire out of his wings in all directions, similar to Shalock's technique. Unit 02 raises its right hand and projects a rainbow colored barrier that blocks the attack with ease. Unit 00 flies at high speeds to evade the attack. Unit 07 raises its left arm and projects a rainbow colored AT Field from the golden cross attached to her arm.

Unit 05, who was currently flying back into the battlefield, crosses his arms in front of him and a circular pure white energy barrier appears, coming from his Crimson Angel weapon, and blocks the attack. Kensuke blinks in surprise, 'Wait, I didn't know I could do that…'

Unit 04 was at a far enough distance to evade the attacks with ease, which was necessary considering Varkon was trying to take him over, which hindered his movements greatly. 'The moment Asuka showed up…I felt calm; serene almost…Is her AT Field acting like a source of purity and hope?'

'Damn you!' Varkon snapped angrily, causing Patrick to clutch his forehead tightly as his eye color became blood red with the whites of his eyes becoming black. 'I'll take your body over and you'll watch as I kill every single one of your friends!'

'Not likely…' Patrick retorts weakly as his control began to slip. 'Mother…'

'I'm trying to help you, Patrick.' Diana whispers, 'I can't help you hold him back much longer…'

'…Alright…then I'll take that bastard down with me…' Unit 04 glowed with a dark blue aura as the Evangelion's armor compacted itself from the force of its own AT Field. 'Damn…I need you to hold together…until it's ready…' The armor fused and became streamlined as its AT Field fused with the armor. Rather than dark blue, however, the armor became sky blue. "Kensuke, Hikari!" Patrick shouted, "I'll take over Sarah's role in this attack…but I need your help with this!"

Unit 05 reaches Unit 04 before Kensuke opens communications with him, "We aren't using you as a sacrifice." He stated in a flat voice.

"…Either you help me or I'll do it myself." Patrick growls out and causes Kensuke to flinch at his eye color. "Right now…Varkon is close to overtaking my soul…I'd rather take him down with me with this attack." He chuckles darkly, "I knew I'd die in this battle anyways…and I'm glad I got to see Sarah one more time…"

Unit 04 is surrounded by pure white flames as Asuka stares sadly at him. "…I understand…Do what you feel you must."

Patrick smiles and nods before fusing his own AT Field with his Evangelion Unit. 'Let's go, Mother…' Unit 04 shoots forward at Sammael, who merely raises his black AT Field to block his suicidal attack. Unit 00 flies by with six wings and a golden aura as she cuts through the AT Field with the Spear of Longinus, 'Thank you…Rei…'

A massive explosion envelops Sammael as Unit 04 comes into contact with the Devil. The explosion was about half the size of the two hundred N2 Warheads, but when the light vanished, Sammael's form is mostly intact, "What?" Asuka shouted as her absolutely calm state faded away.

"What a fool…Varkon being alive in his body was the only thing limiting my complete restoration…" Sammael chuckles darkly before getting his head incinerated by a combination of white flames, a white energy beam, and a golden-white energy bolt.

"Shut the hell up." Asuka snapped; trying to keep her mind focused on this battle and not on those who died.


"Shinji…please…you must help them." Yui whispers in a soothing voice as she hugs her son tightly in the entry plug. Her form was completely solid, "If you don't…those that fell in battle would have died pointlessly…"

Shinji raises his head as tears stream down his face, "I know but…I hate this…" He whispers painfully as Unit 01 raises its sword and cuts through Toji's ax, which vanishes in golden light as Chivalt's sword blades have a curved tip and the pole similar in shape to the Spear of Longinus now had a meter running up it between the line segments until it stops at the tip. "It feels…like everyone is going to die around me…"

Yui becomes silent as Unit 01 slashes through the Gravity Spear. Chivalt's sword blades widen slightly and the length now exceeds the length of the pole and fuses the two blades together with a curved tip. "…I know this is hard…but you must fight…"

Shinji closes his eyes before opening them, his face and eyes expressionless as a bright purple aura surrounds his body and two angelic wings of the same color appear on his back. 'Let's go, Mother…'

Yui's eyes widened before she vanished from the entry plug, 'Shinji…just closed off his heart…I didn't think he would do that…' Unit 01 glows with a bright purple aura with six diamond-shaped AT Field wings on its back with the same color as his aura before it flies back into the battlefield.


Asuka bit her lower lip as her white flames fought against Sammael's black flames. Currently, it appeared they were both at a stalemate with neither of them overpowering the other, but Sammael's power was slowly rising and his black flames were pushing Asuka's white flames back. Unit 00 fires a barrage of energy slashes from the Spear of Longinus at Sammael from behind, which were blocked by a pure black wall made of shadows. Unit 05 was firing a massive beam of pure energy from his Crimson Angel weapon, but Sammael was countering with a beam of pure darkness firing out of his right hand. Hikari was firing a barrage of moderately sized energy bolts with a golden-white aura around him, which tore through the shadow barrier Sammael created on his left side and pierced into his body.

"Damn you!" Sammael roars before firing a massive Anti-AT Field in all directions. Unit 05 cuts off his attack and flies to the right, but loses his left leg from Sammael's beam of pure darkness, causing him to gasp in pain and grips his leg tightly. Unit 00 flew at high speeds to Sammael's right and grabs Unit 05 before pulling him away as the Anti-AT Field approached. Unit 07 flew back out of range of the Anti-AT Field quickly before Hikari gasps as the attack approaches Unit 02.

Unit 02 overpowers the black flames only to see the Anti-AT Field five meters from her and still approaching. She quickly infuses her AT Field into her sword and slashes down at the spreading Anti-AT Field. Her eyes widen in shock as it is slowly vaporized into oblivion before letting go of it and flying backwards; barely evading the attack from ripping her Evangelion apart. 'Damn it…'

Sammael fires a barrage of crimson energy beams in all directions from his wings, forcing Hikari to raise her AT Field with the golden cross to defend. Unit 02 barely managed to dodge a serious injury as the attacks cut into her sides, arms and legs in multiple points. Kensuke knew Unit 00 couldn't dodge all of those attacks while dragging him so he grabs her and kicks her behind him before crossing his arms and put up that circular pure while barrier with his Crimson Angel weapon.

His shield could not withstand the attack, but it did limit it enough not to go through him and hit Unit 00. Kensuke coughs up blood as it hit several vitals, 'Damn…I can't see straight…' His eyes widen before a single beam of pure darkness destroys his chest plate and his entry plug, causing the Eva to explode.

Rei stared in horror at what just happened. Only half of them were still alive to fight…and Kensuke just threw his life away to save her. Rei swears angrily before putting up her AT Field to block the incoming beam of pure darkness.

"Yes…feel nothing but despair as everyone around you dies…" Sammael grins evilly, "Charge, Bragon." He vanishes and reappears in front of Unit 02 before swinging his sword down at Asuka with no time to react. Hikari flies between them and infuses energy ounce of her energy into her rainbow color barrier, which manages to hold for a few seconds, allowing Asuka to fly back out of range.

"Good luck…Asuka…" Hikari whispers before the blade cuts clean through the barrier and Unit 07, causing it to explode.

"Hikari!" Asuka begins swearing angrily in German as tears run down her face. They never should have let anyone else fight in this battle. A golden light surrounds Hikari's Crimson Angel weapon and Kensuke's Crimson Angel weapon before it compresses into small golden spheres that fly away from Sammael and past Asuka as Sammael flies at her and swings his sword down at Unit 02. She had no more energy left as her wings vanished. Her eyes widen as Unit 01 glows with a golden aura and flied overhead and intercepted Sammael's sword before knocking it aside. "Mein Gott…"

Unit 01's sword had a cross-shaped hilt and its blade was more compact now. The pole in the center was gone but the metal was purple while the blade itself was pure white. "Die, Sammael…" Shinji whispered before cutting his head off from this distance with a blade of pure white energy extending from the sword blade.

"Hahaha…that won't be enough to kill me, you brat…" Sammael growled out as his head reattached to his body.

Asuka sighs sadly before her armor glows brightly, "Shinji…I'm out of energy…use my armor." It detaches from Unit 02 and fuses into a ball of light before flying into Unit 01, causing Unit 01's armor to alter slightly and is now covered in various places by Asuka's Elemental Armor, which is golden in color. "Good luck…" Asuka closes her eyes as pure exhaustion overtook her body from using her AT Field to restore her energy.

Unit 00 flies over to Unit 01 with the Spear of Longinus with a pure white aura around her body. "Shinji…I know what you are truly capable of out in the battlefield…which is why I'm giving you my remaining power." Rei whispers as Shinji takes hold of the Spear of Longinus with his left hand and the pure white aura fuses with his own aura. 'Sarah saw your victory…so good luck.' Rei thinks to herself before blasting Unit 01 back with the remaining power she kept in order to keep Sammael's sword from hitting him, but unable to save herself and Asuka from their fate.

"ASUKA!" Shinji screams in horror as the calmness he worked so hard to keep fell apart as his resolve to fight vanished. Shinji originally fought for his father's approval, but now he fought for his friends and loved ones…but now…everyone was dead. He couldn't stop the tears from falling down his cheeks, unable to stop crying as he felt nothing but despair as his AT Field that he had around his body vanished, exposing his soul to Sammael's influence. Unit 01 roared and its Core broke out from its confinement behind its armor.

'Shinji…it's time…' Yui whispered.


Misato was swearing as tears flowed down her cheek and she clung to Kaji, who looked similarly sad at the situation. "S-Shinji's sync…dropped to zero…" Maya choked out tearfully before Doctor Akagi hugged her from behind gently.

Hyuga bites back his own tears as he stares at Shinji's psychograph, which was in shambles at this point…yet… "Huh..? Major Katsuragi…Unit 01…it's moving…"

Misato forces herself to look at the scene as Sammael's power level reaches the equivalent of 1000 sync. His form compresses heavily and into a single bone white sphere with two empty eye sockets and a small beak in front with his ethereal sword vanishing as it fused with his body. Suddenly, twelve red wings with golden highlight grow up and around the sphere as its two eyes glow a malevolent green color.

Misato flinched violently at those eyes, as it seemed that every sin that humanity had every committed were shown in those eyes and she looks away. The creature's wings each have three yellow eyes with a black background on them as well, and appeared to be all seeing and all knowing. Her eyes widen in amazement as Shinji lets go of Chivalt's sword.

'Why did he-' Misato's eyes widen in horror as Shinji grabs the Spear of Longinus with both hands before stabbing the single tipped end straight into his Core. "SHINJI!"

"…His life signs…Oh my God…" Maya puts a hand in front of her mouth to stop herself from throwing up.

Hyuga's eyes widen, "Wh-What the hell? Unit 01's sync just shot up to 1000!" He sounded shocked, "His Eva's Waveform pattern just shifted to red!"

"What?" Misato shouted, "Who is piloting-" Her eyes widen in amazement as his life signs no longer showed that he was dead.

"At last, the time is at hand." Tabris states with a smile as he appears out of nowhere in the Command Center and caused most of them to gasp in shock at the Angel's appearance out of nowhere. "After all…it is always darkest before the dawn."

"Explain yourself, Tabris." Commander Ikari demanded.

"A power once gifted…A power once gained can never be taken away…" He stares as Unit 01 slowly pulls the Spear of Longinus out…yet it seems to be longer than it was when it went in. "Unit 01 still retained its divinity after Third Impact…but in order to prevent it from keeping this power…Lilith's Spear left the Doorway in order to seal its divine power…" Unit 01 fully pulls out the Spear of Longinus, which now had the same appearance as it did when Shinji aborted Third Impact. Two prongs on each end of the Spear of Longinus as it glowed with a bright white light, which changed the colored of the Spear and Unit 01's armor to pure white and shifted it so it no longer looked like some demon or devil, but now resembled the appearance of a holy knight. "…by fusing with Unit 01. With both Adam and Lilith's Spears together, it has formed the Celestial Spear, capable of using the divine power of both Adam and Lilith through a medium. That medium is Eva Unit 01 and Shinji Ikari."


Unit 01 lets go of the Celestial Lance with his right hand while his left flips in and places it horizontally on his back. Twelve angelic wings appear from the Celestial Spear's four points that separate the spear from a single point to the two points on Unit 01's back before they glowed brightly, casting light on Sammael and the Doorway behind him. It screams with sheer rage at the purity of the light that felt like it was burning him. "This is impossible!" He screamed in horror as pure white light orbs appeared on either end of the Celestial Spear and shift Unit 01's armor to a pure white color. "I am a God! I cannot die!" The eyes on his wings all fire pure beams of darkness at Unit 01.

Shinji slowly opens his blue eyes as a rainbow colored aura surrounds Unit 01 as he reaches out and grabs Chivalt's sword with its right hand, which glows brightly and changes shape. The sword blade was pure white in color and the hilt (as well as the guard) is now golden in color. Unit 01's rainbow colored aura glows brightly, which deflects the beams of pure darkness in all directions away from Shinji and his Eva Unit. "…Every crime and sin you have committed…" Shinji's voice sounded like his own yet it also seemed to reverberate with the voices of Asuka, Rei, and his fellow pilots. A golden halo forms over his head and he walks forward as Sammael fired flames that were black and red in color at Unit 01, who surrounds himself in Toji's AT Field absorption field. Rather than filling a gauge, however, the sword blade was surrounded by a golden aura. "…Every person you caused pain and suffering to…" Sammael focuses every ounce of his energy in desperation into a sphere of absolute nothingness, yet Unit 01 continues to advance forward. "…And every person you caused the death of…" He fires it at Unit 01, who merely deflects it to the side with a swing of his sword as if he was merely swatting away a fly. "…It's time for you to pay for it all." The sphere that Unit 01 deflected explodes far away and vaporizes the equivalent of a continent.

Sammael was frozen in place from fear. Everything he did so far was for this moment…and yet… "Damn you Lilim!" He roars before charging at Unit 01, who just stops moving and stands there. A bone white claw breaks out of the sphere and the Sword of Habakiri comes out of his body as he flies at the Evangelion. "No being can withstand the power of darkness!" He slashes the sword down at Unit 01, who just grabs the sword blade with his left hand while his right hand held his sword.

"…You don't get it, do you?" Shinji states calmly in that same voice as earlier before clenching his fist and shattering the Sword of Habakiri's blade with ease. "We aren't fighting alone. The souls of all of us are fighting you together…which is why someone like you, who cares nothing for others in his pursuit of power, will never win."

Unit 01's left wrist is surrounded by six semi-solid rainbow-colored AT Field boxes that rise up in front of him and blasted Sammael away from him. "The Lilim have caused nothing but death and war!" He screamed as a drew more power from the World of Darkness, allowing his sword blade to reform as the sphere shatters, revealing a human-shaped Sammael with a black robe, who still possessed those twelve wings and his Sword of Habakiri. Sammael glows ominously before growing in size until equal in height with Unit 01.

Shinji closes his eyes, "We still have faith in the light and purity of humanity…" He replies calmly before firing a barrage of Anti-AT Field slashes with a single sword swipe, the attack rainbow colored. Sammael creates a row of diamond walls that block the attack from reaching him, but it isn't enough to prevent deep slash marks from appearing on the barrier.

"Ha! Faith in humanity? What fools you are!" Sammael snapped before the diamond walls change into spikes that fire out at Unit 01.

Shinji raises his left hand, "Anti Territory Field." He whispers in the shared voice before the spikes come into contact with Toji's AT Field absorption sphere, which surrounded Unit 01, and the attack fades into nothingness. As soon as the sphere vanishes, Sammael raises his sword and a multitude of demonic creatures fly out from the Doorway.

"You are no God, boy!" Sammael roared, watching as the demonic creatures fly past him and at Unit 01.

'Your Absolute Territory Field is born from your desire to protect, as well as the will from Hikari, Rei, and Asuka.' Yui whispers, 'Your Anti Territory Field is born from the desire to destroy, and uses the powers of Toji, Kensuke, Patrick, and Sarah.'

Unit 01 clenches its left hand and countless Anti Territory Fields surround the demonic army and eradicates them all. Shinji's purple aura becomes rainbow-colored before he whispers, "Absolute Anti Territory Field." Countless rainbow-color Spear of Longinus copies appear in the air around Unit 01 as the Third Child stares at Sammael. "It's over…"

"THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!" Sammael screamed before being skewered by the countless spears until nothing remained as a rainbow-colored sphere is formed around the Devil and explodes in the form of a cross before it compresses into nothingness. Unit 01 holds its left hand out and an elaborately trimmed and inscribed sheath appears in his left hand before Shinji sheathes his sword with his right hand.


Everyone just gapes in amazement, "T-The target has gone…silent…" Hyuga whispers in awe. "Unit 01's sync…is too high to calculate it right now…"

"The Magi can't understand what Unit 01 just did but…" Maya looks at the visual of Unit 01. "…I think that the Eva Unit 01…is the equivalent of a God…"

Misato has tears running down her face before wiping them away and opening communications with Unit 01. "Shinji…are you okay?"

Shinji blinks at Misato, "We are okay, Misato." He frowns slightly, "It is difficult to explain how we are feeling, actually…" Shinji sighs, "It is not over yet. Please wait for a few minutes." Misato has a confused expression on her face as Shinji cuts off communications.

"Shinji, the best way to do this is to recreate the Moon around the Doorway after it is sealed." Yui pauses, "I think we should give your friends and lover a physical body again after we're done with that too."

The Third Child's face was filled with a mixture of embarrassment and amusement, "Of course." He closes his eyes before his wings extend and the Spear of Longinus glows with a bright white light before he places his sheath on his back and pulls the Celestial Spear out from behind him. Unit 01 holds it in both hands in a horizontal position as the golden angelic wings transform into diamond-shaped AT Field wings and the four points on the Spear glow brightly, 'Now!' Four beams of pure light fires out of the tips and at the corners of the Doorway before it creaks as it closes. The shriek of a multitude of creatures is heard as the Doorway closes but they fear attempting to escape only to be annihilated by Unit 01. The Doorway slams shut and the lights move to the center of the Doorway and seal it. "There," Shinji nods approvingly before closing his eyes.

"I'll take over for a moment, Shinji." Yui whispers before placing her hands on the controls over Shinji's hands, causing the Spear to glow as bright as the Sun before it fades away to reveal the restored state of the Moon. "Perfect…actually, it's a bit off but perfection is impossible for humanity." She corrects herself.

Shinji nods before looking at the wreckage of the Evangelion Units. 'Are you okay everyone?' He thinks.

'Well, it's weird in here, but we're fine…' Asuka replied softly. 'Geez, I'm glad you're in a state of absolute calm. I couldn't handle seeing your fantasies of me…or vise versa.'

'Wait, you have-' Toji begins before the sound of a punch is heard. 'Ouch! I was just curious!'

"Can you all settle down?" Yui demanded in a flat voice, "We have more pressing issues right now, like keeping stability between eight individual souls…"

"How did that happen?" Shinji asks curiously.

"Long story that I'll go into after we deal with Unit 01." Yui stated calmly.

'What does THAT mean?' Sarah asked.

'It means that Unit 01 is practically a God and no one wants humanity to get their greedy hands on it.' Patrick replied.

"That's a bit blunt, but accurate." Yui sighs, "I trust Shinji, but there are humans like Keel that would jump at the chance to play God."

'Can we play around with this power?' Kensuke asked brightly, 'I mean, we could do some really cool stuff.'

"No." Yui snapped in a flat voice before the others could also agree with the Sixth Child. "We've been in control of this power for too long already-" Her eyes widen as Shinji focuses himself and the Spear of Longinus glows brightly. "Shinji, wait a minute!"

"Trust me…Mother…" He whispers before a shockwave of energy fires down at the Earth and spreads out over the entire planet. "There…"

'Wait, what the heck did you do?' Toji demanded.

"I erased the data that could create another Evangelion, as well as the DNA on file and even the subatomic particles of Angel and Crimson Angel DNA." Shinji smiles before glancing at the wreckage from the other Evas before they fade away.

'What?' Asuka shouted, 'Why did you do that?'

'Seriously! The Eva's are-' Kensuke begins before Shinji cuts him off.

"The Evas have done nothing but cause pain and death to others…I won't let anyone create another Eva Unit, which could eventually become another God." Shinji whispers before looking down at the Earth. "It's over and done with now. They'll remember the Evangelions, but not how to create them."

Yui nodded approvingly, "I never thought of that…" She admitted ruefully, "Thank you, Shinji…So, anything else you'd like to do before giving up Divinity?"

Shinji shakes his head, "No…but how can we destroy Unit 01 and prevent it from ever being used as a puppet again?"

"This will be difficult…but it can be done." Yui sighs before staring at Shinji. "I'll take control for now…Goodbye darling." Before Shinji could react, he vanishes from the entry plug and Yui sits down in the pilot's seat. "Sorry Shinji…but I can't let you be the one to do this…because only the soul inside the Evangelion can keep the power under control for this." She closes her eyes, "You were near your limit…so I'll take charge."

Unit 01 places the Celestial Spear on its back and grew its twelve angelic wings again. The Eva glowed brightly, ten times the intensity of the Sun before the Moon vanished and reappeared in its proper orbit. As the light faded away, Unit 01 was nowhere to be found. 'It's over at last…' Yui whispered.


A/N: The longest chapter to date with almost 10,000 words! I cried as the heroes slowly died off…but I was filled with joy as Unit 01 reached Godhood and defeated the enemy. I used things like Unit 01's AT Field arm cannon from Rebuild of Evangelion 2.0 where Shinji went berserk against Zeruel. The last chapter is the Epilogue. Enjoy it!
