ALWAYS AND FOREVER
Part 5: Sacrifice

Whilst all of these happened,
The enemy turned the other way
It stared at the Third Child menacingly
Like a predator that has found its prey.

Then suddenly it attacked
Using its other hand
Flying through the air
At its target it would land.

He could not move
The Third Child found
He stood there paralyzed
To the enemy he was bound.

Her heart beat furiously
Yet she refused to cry
"I have to do something,
I can't let him die."

Waiting silently for the pain
He closed his eyes
Then opened them abruptly
Upon hearing the major's cries.

"No! Wait! What are you doing?!"
The major shouted to the First.
"What does it look like?" She said.
"I'm getting rid of this damn curse."

"Get out of there right now!"
At her, the Third fiercely said.
"No, I have to stay."
And make sure he's dead."


"You're killing yourself and your Eva!"
"To the enemy, I will not yield
And to destroy it
My Eva needs my AT-Field."

"So that's it. You're just going
To leave me here and now?"
The First Child softened at this, and said,
"Don't worry, I will just be keeping a vow."

"No! I won't let you do this!
I won't let this be your fate!"
The First shook her head sadly.
"I'm sorry, but it is too late."

He only heard the words "Inversed AT-Field"
And to his horror the count down was partly done
"Ten...nine...eight...seven...six...
Five...four...three...two...one."

First there was a loud explosion
And then came a blinding light
He closed his eyes as he became unconscious
With darkness creeping unto him like night.
