07-Ghost: Ayanami and Eve
Full Circle
Verloren, as Ayanami, gained strength with each Ghost absorbed. With Zehel, Fest, Profe, Vertrag and Landkarte (by Katsuragi's death). With Eve's and Hyuuga's assistance, he ascertained the locations of Ea and Relikt and absorbed them as well.
With his power fully restored, he could turn to the one person who started this entire banishment and kill order to him.
The Chief of Heaven himself.
But how would Eve react if her father (is the Chief still her father?) is killed right in front of her? Will she hate him for it? Will she denounce him and call him the devil manifested? He didn't want to admit it but losing Eve would be devastating to him as she was the one who helped him get this far out of her own free will.
He planned on bringing her along with him to Heaven as he would take his place as god and marry her.
That is his reward to her.
As for Teito, the child would often throw hateful glares at Eve but didn't do anything knowing that if he did something to her, Ayanami would find out and Mikage would suffer for it.
But he kept his word and served Barsburg as the vessel of the Eye. Ayanami hoped to induct him to the Black Hawks someday.
Even with his goal complete, he lost two precious subordinates: Haruse and Katsuragi but at least their deaths have been avenged. He wondered if there would be any candidates that are worthy of them.
In his musings, he saw Eve right in front of him as always. Ayanami announced. "Now that I -as Verloren- had absorbed the seven ghosts and restored myself to full strength, as well as recovered the Eye of Mikhail, am planning for one more task. This has nothing to do with the empire no..."
He steeled his resolve and braced himself as he said the next thing. "I will enter Heaven and kill the Chief of Heaven." That took a lot more effort than Ayanami had expected.
He gauged her reaction very carefully. He saw the look of hurt in her face but she stopped her stutter. "I cannot say I condone your actions sir...Ayanami...Verloren...but I understand. All I ask is that you make my father's death be quick and painless."
So the Chief of Heaven is her father. Ayanami mused as he said. "I'd like you to come with me, to witness this monumental moment of cosmic proportions that will change this earth forever."
She quietly replied. "I shall..sir."
He stood up from his desk and walked to her. She was clearly looking down at her feet. He gently lifted her chin and made her look up and read her expression: that of hurt and regret. His violet eyes staring at her green ones. The hand lifting her chin moved to cup her face while his free arm moved to hold her left hand.
He didn't notice that her right arm gently gripped his hair and push him forward, causing his lips to collide with hers. He let out a small gasp of surprise but kissed her anyway. His hands cupped her face as he continued kissing her.
He didn't know what to say to her but somehow he didn't need to. He just kissed her as if some intruder might whisk her away if he so much as give her the slightest leeway of grip. Nevertheless, Eve kisses him slow and deep with all the ardor of a lover and the comfort one can give to another person.
"My deepest apologies." Ayanami gasped out but kisses her cheeks in a panic state, quite unlike him.
"Me too." Eve said. She blushed and added. "I've always wanted to do this, ever since I met you."
"You did? But you never said anything."
"How could I?"
For all her reasons, he understands. After all, he knew that men would like to use pictures of him being gentle to attract females to the military. This annoyed him greatly as he had no attraction towards women, preferring to stay focused on his tasks.
Plus, he knew that they had to keep this professional. But if he was honest to himself, he did feel attracted to her and had given her more praise than most of his Black Hawks.
They stopped kissing and looked at each other. Ayanami said. "Do you want to join me and go to Heaven, Eve? I won't force you to join if you don't want to."
Eve relied firmly. "I'm ready sir. I'll stay by you to the end."
Those words inflamed Ayanami's heart, if he had a heart, he felt that with Eve at his side, he can take on the entire military, the church and the two archangels solo.
Ayanami made a rare smile. "Very well. Let me make an announcement to the rest of the Black Hawks." Eve nodded.
Ayanami walked to the room where the Black Hawks are residing and they stood in formation upon seeing him.
"At ease." Ayanami commanded and when they did, he announced. "I wish to make this as quick as possible. Hyuuga, Haruse, Kuroyuri, Shuri, Konatsu. I am leaving for Heaven with Eve. And this is the only time I say this but in the event that I don't return Hyuuga, you are in charge of the Black Hawks."
Hyuuga became serious for the first time. "Yeah Ayanami, I'll do it. You can count on me."
Ayanami nodded and continued with his announcement. "I wish to say that I am proud to serve as your superior and I am pleased that all of you have served me and brought me excellent results. May you continue to serve the empire in our own, perhaps dark, way. Farewell."
"Sir!" The Black Hawks chorused as one while Kuroyuri shouted. "You are my Lord Ayanami! You can handle whatever's standing your way!"
Ayanami made another rare smile and left the quarters with Eve.
They went to a prairie where Ayanami tells Eve. "I know now what I wish to do. I am not sure if I will survive this fight against the Chief himself but if I do, I will return for you."
Eve looked sad and hesitant and Ayanami didn't blame her. He said more firmly all the while caressing her face. "I mean it. If I survive, I will return for you."
Eve nodded, her determined green eyes met his violet ones. "Go now Verloren. Do what must be done."
He gave her another smile, something he has been doing a lot lately since she has been doing him a great service. "Farewell Eve. You have been a worthy tool, a great fighter and someone who I can call precious to me in the short time that I've known you."
Ayanami transformed into the Grim Reaper version of Verloren. He ascended into the heavens and disappeared.
Red and black coloring the clouds...countless Warsfeil and Kor join their master to combat the angels defending the Chief...then purple vs gold battling in a beautiful and darkening war...a massive explosion sends a massive shockwave that knocks Eve on her back...
Then the Chief of Heaven appeared in all of his holy glory and the God of Death in all of his evil appearance and the fearsome scythe he uses.
The Chief had his angels while Verloren had his Kors.
Both armies charged at each other with one not letting the other advance. For every angel that killed a Kor, it was killed by another and vice verse. Massive numbers of both side suffering losses left and right.
The chief charged at Verloren and disappeared in a wisp of smoke when Verloren swing his scythe at him. The Chief reappeared and hit Verloren's skull in the cheek.
The Chief slashed Verloren's waist but Verloren countered by throwing a nearby Kor at the Chief, knocking him back. Verloren swing his scythe three times and it hit the Chief in the first two.
The Chief called one angel to attack Verloren. That angel charged only for Verloren to effortlessly cut it in half with his scythe.
The Chief and Verloren charged at each other with a blade vs scythe. The angels and the Kors charged along with them.
Only for Verloren to end it with a headbutt to the face and a slash. The Kors overpowering the angels. Verloren charged at the Chief But the chief dodged it and kicked Verloren in the face.
Verloren summoned two Kors to charge at the Chief but the chief countered that by calling in two angels to charge at the Kors.
No clear winner with both sides dead. Verloren charged at the Chief and brought down his scythe upon the latter. The Chief tried to block it with his sword but the scythe easily cut it in half.
Verloren pressed his attack and impaled the Chief with the scythe. The Chief disappeared into his smoke and reappeared a few meters away from Verloren, clutching his gut wound.
The angels became enraged at the attack and charged with all their fury. The Kors did their best but were soon overpowered by the angels.
They did manage to kill a good number of them before reaching Verloren. Only five out of the twenty thousand that charged remain and Verloren cut them down with a small measure of difficulty.
Verloren walked with deliberation to the wounded chief of Heaven. Whatever the Chief wanted to say, he didn't want to hear it as he decapitated the Chief with his scythe.
Realizing that Heaven will be in chaos for now, Verloren looked into Ayanami's memories and spoke privately towards the two archangels, Mikhail and Raphael. They were displeased they the chief of Heaven is killed and said so to Verloren's face.
He told them that they must leave their vessels temporarily and maintain order around heaven while he had a...private matter to attend to before assuming the position as the new Chief of Heaven. They reluctantly agreed.
Below all the raging skies, Eve looked up and saw the figure of Verloren slowly landing until his feet touching the ground. He transformed back to Ayanami.
The man looked like he just came back from a war with all the bruises and cuts on his face, his uniform nearly torn off.
He limped to Eve who was running to him and collapsed. She caught him landing on her shoulder as he whispered. "It is done."
"I know. Let me take care of you sir."
She carried him with bridal style which is unusual for someone so petite and smaller than Ayanami.
They went back to the military base where all of the Black Hawks are waiting for them. Hyuuga asked. "So he did it?" He only needed to look at Ayanami's sleeping face to confirm it.
"Good to see you in one piece. Don't think I like doing this leadership stuff." Hyuuga said to Ayanami who didn't respond.
"Thanks for bringing Ayanami to us." Konatsu said. "We'll take over from here."
Eve nodded and let Hyuuga and Konatsu take Ayanami off her hands while Kuroyuri led the way to the infirmary.
(Eight days later)
Ayanami rested during those days in peaceful slumber...his goal complete...but now...he has to take care of one more loose end.
He awakened once more and asked Eve to be his escort once again. Turns out that Shuri discovered that his partner Miroku is plotting to have him killed by sheer accident. He explained it to Ayanami in careful detail and parroting whatever Miroku was saying.
Ayanami thanked him for this and resolved to have Miroku removed without arousing suspicion. Eve came upon the idea of using a fast-acting poison to kill a person and not making a trace.
Ayanami is pleased with the idea and contacted Miroku for a private meeting with him at Miroku's office. The man accepted without hesitation.
Now, they're both in his office drinking tea with Eve serving them.
Miroku started the conversation. "I see you've been busy as of late."
"Indeed. I've never been more pleased since my posting of my office. Pandora's box and the Eye of Mikhail in our possession." Ayanami said while sipping on his tea.
Miroku asked. "What of that Teito boy?"
Ayanami shrugged. "Still resentful to me but he knows that has no choice. Perhaps one day, he'll learn to move on from that and join my Black Hawks to replace my fallen ones."
Miroku sipped his tea. "I suppose you wish to speak to me of utmost urgency since it's private."
Ayanami nodded. "I believe that someone within the Barsburg's higher echelon is seeking to kill me and have someone usurp my office."
Miroku asked curiously. "Have you any leads?"
Ayanami shook his head. "None but the word of one of my Black Hawks who described with vivid recollection. However, I can assure you that I've already taken care of it."
Miroku nodded, feeling relieved as he made a good long sip to his tea and had Eve -who is holding a teapot - to refill it. "As always, I can rely on you."
Ayanami finished his cup and had Eve refill it. "I must ask why you are withholding information from me since Wakaba's death? Surely you can put trust with them regardless of the delicacy in it."
Miroku frowned, finished his tea and gesturing Eve to refill it. "I find myself truly paranoid. I feel as if someone who I've spoken to recently is collaborating with the traitor."
Ayanami looked at his nearly empty tea cup and replied. "We have known each other for years. Even when we're both operating outside military regulations, I have been faithful to you. May I know the object of your paranoia?"
Miroku remained silent, probably to figure out the words to say. "It is you."
Ayanami frowned, knowing that Shuri's words are indeed valid. "I didn't collaborate with the traitor. He has been dealt with quickly and decisively."
Miroku narrowed his eyes at him. "I am convinced that with your lust for more power, I'm your next target. That is after Wakaba's death." He received his cup of tea from Eve.
"So what do you plan on doing to me now?" Ayanami asked, giving Eve his cup.
"I apologize for this but you need to be removed Ayanami. You were the only person I trust with highly classified information but I feel like you'll turn me in for court martial for withholding information. I ask that you abandon your seat of office and leave the empire forever Ayanami, or should I say Verloren." Miroku's turn to drop the bomb on Ayanami.
Now Ayanami was truly shocked. "How is it you have known this?"
"Karu told me before you had Hyuuga kidnap him and you killing him. He also told me that you were responsible for Wakaba's death. Now with this information, I am convinced through and through that you are the traitor. "Miroku answered, satisfied at seeing Ayanami's sweat drop.
Miroku pushed on. "So what do you plan on doing Ayanami? Will you summon a Warsfeil and drain my soul? Or will you charge forward and run me with your sword now that we both try to kill each other?"
Ayanami only smirked as he received his cup from Eve. "Actually, I already killed you as soon as you finished that cup."
Suddenly, Miroku began choking and clutching on his neck. He squeezed and wheezed while gasping for air. The cup he finished lay on the table. He finally collapsed on the ground, dead.
Eve explained. "The poison given attacks the major organs the body needs to live which the brain doesn't notice until it is too late. Miroku's heart has stopped and any autopsy will make it rule out as heart failure. This fast acting poison leaves no trace of its existence."
Ayanami nodded, finishing his cup of tea then handed it back to Eve. "Good."
Two days later, Miroku's death was indeed written off as a heart failure and received a funeral worthy of a chairmen. Only Ayanami and Eve knew what really happened.
(A year later)
Ayanami and Eve grew more closer together in their years in the army and finally married in Heaven.
Eve gave herself to Verloren wholeheartedly despite the death of the Chief and the accidental murder of her namesake. She is also his dutiful subordinate and equally dutiful partner.
Eve proved more than just a loyal subordinate. She was his rock to hold on, his comfort when needed, his unofficial advisor within the Black Hawks.
Now, he wished to consummate his marriage with Eve.
They were alone together in Ayanami's private quarters.
Eve laid on her back as she let Ayanami remove her dress. "Stay still and let me do all the work." Were his orders to her.
He gently removed her dress and it revealed her slightly big breasts to him. He tossed it aside and removed the brown bra too. He placed his mouth on her breast while his fingers played with her other one.
He internally smirked as he enjoyed Eve's moans of pleasure. He took turns sucking both breasts and playing the nipples with his tongue.
He lowered himself down on her legs and kissed her thighs which were covered by her skirt. His head went under her skirt and removed the panties covering it, tossing it aside too.
He covered his mouth in her private area and is pleased when he heard Eve's cries and begging him not to stop as he continued licking under her skirt feeling her slender, yet toned thighs.
When she came, he gladly drank it all tasting sweet.
He felt his member harden and removed his pants in a hurry. He also hurriedly ripped Eve's skirt and tossed them both aside.
"Do it sir. Don't worry about my hymen. It's destroyed by a weapons training gone wrong." Eve's voice filled with pleasure said.
Ayanami wasted no time plunging himself within her, causing her to scream in pain and pleasure. It's followed by more cries of pleasure.
"Make me yours sir! Make me yours!"
"With the greatest of pleasure, Eve! My reward to you given tenfold!" Ayanami grunted while grabbing her breasts.
He ordered her to scream his name then his other name when she came and she did. Her screams echoed in the room. She screamed Ayanami then Verloren.
He filled her womb with a powerful load, three strong spurts, a fourth, then two weakened spurts then he collapsed beside Eve who is panting in sweat and sex juices.
"I love you Ayanami." Eve smiled, seeing her beside him.
"Me too Eve." Ayanami replied, cupping her cheek and caressing it.
They both fell asleep, content with their union and accomplishments within the empire.
Notes
This ends my first 07-Ghost fanfic. I will make a second and last one about an AU I believe about Teito Klein staying in the army while learning about his origins. It really isn't the best 07-Ghost fanfic to read but I try in writing in it. Bye.
