"Oh...shit..." cried Shinji, "what the hell is that?"
"Is that...Adam?" wondered Asuka.
"It can't be," breathed Toji, "it looks so...black...so..."
"That is your dark side Shinji," answered Rei, "and, indeed, it seems to have ties with the first Angel."
Then he remembered...Shinji had met this darkness before, when Unit 01 had been swallowed into the void created by the Angel Leliel...
"It is the solid manifestation of your previous desire to destroy the world," continued Kaworu, "for lack of a better word, it is Dark Shinji. You and him are the two polar opposites in this conflict, and it is ultimately you who will decide what happens to the world."
"The new incarnation of Eve against the new incarnation of Adam," said Rei, "it...seems...fitting somehow."
"How do you two know all this?" asked Shinji.
"Let's just say... the Dead Sea Scrolls were very extensive in their prediction of Third Impact."
"I should read it, if... no... WHEN we survive this."
"That's the spirit Shinji."
"Silence!" commanded the voice, "Witness the wrath of a force as inevitable as your guilty conscience. You wretched beings are not worthy of this planet. Fighting each other, bleeding and dying over trifles, now you will expire for a reason. It is time for a new breed of life...die!"
Then, it started. Suddenly, the Eva's, were under attack, from above. Rays of light lanced down to sear them and strike at the ground all around.
"It's Arael!" cried Toji.
"We've got to do something!" yelled Asuka.
Then, a glimmer caught in Shinji's eye...of course! How could he have missed it?!
"I got it covered." said Shinji, as he started to run.
"What are you doing Shinji?" asked Kaworu. Then, he saw it too, what Shinji was running for, a Lance of Longinus, the only thing that would destroy the flying Angel.
"We have to give him cover fire!"
The eruption of weapons was almost deafening, as the Eva's blasted away at the Angels, who retaliated. All the while the flyer targeted Shinji and the other Eva's. Dark Shinji saw what Unit 01 was trying for, and ran toward it himself.
"A useless gesture."
"We'll see about that."
The two opposites ran on, faster and faster. Shinji's feet began to burn. He had a jump-start, but Dark Shinji was fast closing the gap. The Eva was tied to him now, he felt what it felt, more so than ever before. His muscles felt watery, and he was straining every bit of energy he had.
Armor plating melted off his Unit as beams of light lanced out to strike at him. His skin was burning now...he could feel himself being consumed...but still he went on.
"I can get it." he thought, as he inched closer to the Lance. And at last, the Lance was in Shinji's hands...Dark Shinji's hands...
"As I said, useless," said Angel.
The demon thrust the Spear through the helpless Unit 01's chest, ripping through the AT field like paper. Shinji's agonized screams rang through the ears of his comrades, blaring through the comm-links. It no longer sounded like him anymore, it sounded alien, as if composed of pure and unadulterated agony.
"Now, you feel the Spear tearing through your soul...feel the flames burning through your mind," said the voice, "now you die..."
