Awww we're nearing the end now! The other chapter may take a while to put
up because I'm thinking of changing it a little, as I'm not totally pleased
with it. Also, it'll be kinda short but that's because I couldn't think or
anything to write! I hope you don't/haven't lost faith in me, but I must
warn you, this chapter is pretty dreadful! In fact, I don't like it at all,
but I didn't know what else to write! Mainly because it has Mecha in it. Me
and mecha battles don't mix. At all! This is evidence! Some of it is
totally not like the series. BUT! This is an AU fic. Not only that, it is
MY AU fic! So I can do whatever the hell I please right? Right. Last but
not least, thank you to you lovely people who have reviewed. Much
appreciated guys!
Chibi Hentai Angel: hehe, the statue thing. It scares me! Its scary, and reminds me too much of a decapitated Kaworu. Poor little angel!

5. The beginning of the end.
Shinji was woken the next morning by the sun streaming onto his face through the window. When he sat up he was alone. Again. His minded drifted back to the night before. At first he thought it was a dream but he was pretty sure Kaworu had been there. In fact, he could still feel his presence. It had been so good to see him again. It was all Shinji needed, he was certain he would have gone mad if Kaworu had not came back to him. And to know Kaworu had forgiven him had made the black aura of his fade a little.
Shinji didn't know exactly how he had returned. Had it been Kaworu's ghost? It seemed like the only explanation right now, but Shinji had felt him. It had been like he was alive. Maybe it had something to do with being an Angel? Maybe Angels could do that.
It was comforting t know they'd be together again eventually. Shinji knew he couldn't help it, but he wasn't too happy with waiting so a long time to see him. But Kaworu had promised he'd wait for him, so at least Shinji knew it would happen. He wondered when exactly he'd see Kaworu again. For better or worse the time was closer to hand than Shinji could have guessed.
Only a month later Shinji was back in his plugsuit, in the familiar cockpit of Unit 01. He hadnt counted on ever getting back inside the thing, now that the Angels were destroyed. Had the apocalypse finally begun? It if had, it wasn't as Gendo Ikari had hoped it would be.
As Seele had sent their own white Eva's to Nerv, Gendo Ikari had sent his son and his doll out to battle the enemy Eva. He hated to make Rei go, she had another purpose, he knew. And he hadnt had enough time to fulfill that purpose. On the way to the hanger Shinji overheard something about the 'Dummy plug system'. Later he was told that was exactly what the Eva Unit 05's ran on. The term seemed familiar, he then remembered where he had heard of it before. It had something to do with them Rei clones. They were used as pilots for the dummy plug. Shinji shuddered when he remembered the tank full of Rei clones, all dead eyes and beaming smiles.
//So, all these enemy Eva are piloted by Rei clones? I didn't know Seele had Rei clones. Maybe their different.// Shinji and Rei stood before Misato who had just finished briefing them. A lot of fake courage in her voice, anybody would have noticed it. "Well guys its up to you know, but I'm sure you'll do fine! Imagine how jealous Asuka will be when she wakes up only to find that she slept through the big battle! Do me proud today guys!" Misato cheered.
"Yes Misato". All she got from Rei was a silent nod, before walking away to get into her entry plug. Shinji watched Rei, not surprised at all to see his father standing by her Eva, talking to her. As always, she showed a rare smile as she spoke to him. Shinji could feel that the battle wasn't going to be nice. They could both be severely hurt.and yet his father hadn't said a word to him. Shinji had stopped caring anyway.
As he turned to go to his own Eva, Misato grabbed his wrist, bring his attention back to her. "Shinji.I know you'll do great today. I have faith in you". "Thanks Misato" was al Shinji said, he didn't know what else to say so he gave her a hopeful smile and headed for the entry plug.
It wasn't long before Shinji and Rei were on the surface, there wasn't much to call a surface really. There wasn't much to see, after the incident with Rei dying, and the huge crater which the destroyed Eva 00 had made over the city. On the horizon Shinji could make out the fast approaching enemy Evas, they were massive, and had wings, which was hardly fair. Rei had already readied her gun and brought up her AT field and reminded Shinji to do the same. If Shinji could have ran away, he would have at the sight of the now uncomfortably close white Eva.
They were huge, with no eyes, and their blood red mouths reminded Shinji of birds of pray. Or something far worse. They carried huge spears which they were attacking Unit 00 and Unit 01 with as soon as they were upon them. It became apparent only too quickly that they were outnumbered by a huge number. Still, they had try didn't they?
It wasn't too difficult at first, to shoot at the flying Eva's wings until they came hurtling to the ground, and to crush them once they were tackled to the floor. Shinji had managed to destroy 2 Eva with his gun alone when he heard Rei screaming from her Eva. He turned to see a white Eva attacking Unit 00's back, biting at the neck, and trying to pull the back off, the part which covered the entry plug. "Rei!!!" Shinji shouted, he had to dodge a number of attacks to get to her.
"Ahhhh! Help!" Rei shouted, she was having difficulty pulling the white Eva off her. "I'm coming Rei, hold on!" Shinji called back to her. He pulled out his progressive knife, and attacked the White Eva's back. At this it let go of Unit 00 and Shinji took the chance of pulling it off her completely and dragging it to the ground. Shinji repeatedly stabbed at the Eva's core, he thought it wouldn't die at all, but eventually it stopped moving. Rei was already up and fighting when Shinji got up.
"You ok Rei?" "Yes. Thank you Ikari." Before Shinji could reply something crashed into the back of Unit 00's head. He yelled and turned to find a white Eva hovering low to the ground, trying to stab him with it's spear. Before it stabbed at him again, Shinji grabbed hold of its wings and brought it down with a crash onto its front. Shinji caught hold of it's spear when it let go of it, and attacked it's open back with it. Rei had given him an idea. If the pilots were clones, surely the Eva couldn't operate of the plug was removed. Right? Shinji pulled at the back until it broke and the entry plug came into view. He kept his Eva's knee in the white Eva's lower back to stop its attempts at getting up or struggling too much.
Shinji pulled at the plug until it eventually came free, the thought of Toji came into his mind as he held the plug in his hand, about to crush it. He didn't feel as though he could do it. He just continued to hold it, staring at it. When his eyes actually focused on the writing on the side of the plug, he got a further shock. 'Kaworu'. "Huh?". Then it made sense to Shinji. Seele didn't use Rei clones, they used Kaworu clones. //Kaworu clones? So Kaworu.you will be the one to kill me after all.//
The plug was crushed in unit 02's hand. Shinji knew he hadn't done it, the Eva had, he hadn't even felt his hand move. He had moved back too slowly obviously because he felt an Eva grab hold of the back of hid head and smash it into the ground. Shinji screamed and scrambled to get away, but the Eva's grip was too strong. //The clones.. //
Was there a tank somewhere full of Kaworu clones? He couldn't imagine them all smiling like the Rei clones though. He thought that they'd look like the Kaworu in his dreams. Dead eyed and betrayed looking. Could he kill anymore, now that he knew who was inside the Eva's?
He felt something pierce the armour on his side, it felt like a spear. He was pretty sure that's what it was as well. He screamed again, feeling the blood trickling down the side of his face, from his head. "Rei! Little help here!" but Rei didn't reply. Where was she? Shinji tried to get up again but his Eva's head was smashed into the ground again. Shinji's vision went gray, fuzzy, then red as more blood poured into his eyes.
Misato's voice came through the intercom, fuzzy to Shinji's failed hearing. "Shinji-kun? Shinji! Get up! Please." it was all Shinji heard before everything went black.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------
Ohhh! What happened to Shinji? Well, I'm sure you have a pretty good idea. Please don't throw stuff at me! I know it wasn't very good, and again I apologize for the awful battle, but like I said earlier I'm no good at that stuff! Damn them Eva are mean. But of course, the Kaworu clones rock! Heeee. Well please R&R if you want. The final chapter will be up soon ;)
