Disclaimer: I don't own Eva, Gainax and ADV do, I don't own any other animes I just decide to throw in for a laugh. One such anime would be RahXephon which is owned by Bones and ADV, the characters are used but there is no major influence of the series, don't worry hardcore eva fans, there won't be any Dolems and Angels attacking at once or anything. If there are any characters that appear that don't seem to be from Eva or RahXephon then I have thrown them in and they are mine, you can't have them! (Without asking anyway) Waya and Lilith would be such characters. Now then, on with the show.

Title : Evangelion The New Testament

Chapter Title : Spirit of Sword

Their words disappeared a few minutes ago, there was no communication, no alarm, no screams, just silence. As the sky went grey and the stars disappeared from sight, Shinji knew he had to run faster. His steps became bounds and in a few steps he was jumping rooftops, he saw the theatre in the distance. There were no screams, just people looking around, as he drew closer he saw the hundreds of guards and got out his invite. He was stopped by the first and he showed it, but it was hardly a stop, he was still moving. He ran inside and there were some screams but no one really knew who he was so they quickly died down and the people started wondering about the 'clouds'. Shinji ran into the building and then to the locked banquet hall, the two guards at the outer door stopped him.

"Where are you going son?"

"In there...I have an invite, I was just a little late getting here!"

The guards looked at his invite, then at him, he was wearing a T- shirt, black jeans, a leather jacket and some black boots and with a shrug they stepped aside.

"Enjoy the night Mr...Ikari."

"Thank you!"

Shinji felt stupid for doing that but it would be easier if he didn't draw too much attention to himself before he even got to see if the guy was a Lilim. He walked up to the door and tried to twist the knob, but it wouldn't even turn and when he tried to push it wouldn't even move. Worse yet, it was held so still that it didn't even make a sound as he punched it because it didn't move at all, of course this meant that his hand did compress. After rubbing his hand he took a few steps back, he drew the sword and then held it out in front of him. It began to shiver and move, then with a flash it was engulfed in white light.

"Let's go."

Shinji said as he sliced the doors off their frames, he could tell he had severed the AT field and he then pressed his hand against the doors' surface. They exploded into the room with a lot of dust, enough to mask him but also give him a good look at the surroundings. As he stepped through the dust he saw all his friends in the corner and took a mental note of staying away. He saw Asuka smile at him and with the two boys, Touji and Kensuke, giving him the thumbs up. Ayato was still facing away, he knew what he would see, he didn't need to look, the other people who knew Shinji gasped while those that didn't just felt very, very scared. As he stepped out of the dust, Haruka noticed the sword, its progressive components not to mention the Eva armour.

"Is he that boy's father?"

"Yes...that is Shinji Ikari."

"Shinji..."

The newer group of NERV workers quickly put two and two together to make four, they all watched as Shinji stopped right in front of the Lilim.

"Is all this for me?"

"Well, now that you mention it, it is!"

Everyone in the room looked at Shinji and his funny smile quickly changed into the blank look of Shinji the manslayer. The Lilim jumped up from his chair and stepped before all the people.

"Humans of Earth, I would like you to meet your one time saviour, Shinji Ikari, the 'hero' of Third Impact. Although he goes by a different profession now."

"What profession is that I wonder."

"Well we have a nice name for you, 'Tenshi no Hakaisha'."

"Destroyer of Angels...I think it seems appropriate."

Shinji laughed a little but didn't drop his guard, in fact he held the sword out and it actually got a little longer. The Lilim frowned a little then shrugged, grabbing the chair he had been sitting on he threw it at Shinji but a single motion let it appear behind Shinji in two halves. Shinji gripped the sword tighter and before the Lilim could begin talking, he flew forward and tried to bring the sword down from over his head, cutting straight down. He hit the stage and it split in two, but when he looked, the Lilim had moved but he knew where and he jumped forward to the front wall. As he flew he saw a ball of fire explode where he had been and he jumped off the wall, he flew at the Lilim and sliced. As the sword flew he swore he saw the Lilim jump onto the Eva armour, then walk along said armour, all the way up his arm and jumped down the other side. Shinji knew his movements were much too fast to match, so pretending that he didn't see him, Shinji kept moving with the sword going from a left to right slash to a complete clockwise rotation. The Lilim saw this but a little too late, he dived away but as he jumped the sword cut off the bottom of his legs. He flew and landed on the stage, between cursing he watched his legs grow back, Shinji hated Lilim, they could regenerate faster than he could get his breath back.

"Is Shinji winning?"

"I don't know."

Rei and Misato were whispering at their table, during this big battle. Shinji looked back and saw them talking and then they noticed the desperation in his face.

"WHAT ARE YOU ALL STILL DOING IN HERE!?"

Looking around Misato saw that no one had moved from their tables, they were all watching the fighting, too scared to move.

"GET OUT!"

Everyone began moving and Asuka's entire table were at the door, herding people out, as they ran Shinji turned to see a beam of fire fly towards himself. He held the sword in a typical defensive stance (like you would at the start of Kendo), then tensed his arms. The blast hit the sword square on but unlike Shinji's intended effect of just stopping at the tip of the sword it split in two. One destroyed Asuka's table, to which they all started loosening their collars as they looked from the door. The other hit a table, which people were still sitting at, they barely had time to scream as they were reduced to ashes. Shinji looked at them with shock and fear, the fire reflecting in his eyes, it reflected until nothing reflected in his eyes, when they went red. He looked at the Lilim, the destroyer had arrived, not the man who fights to protect, the being, creature that fights to kill had entered the building.

"That is more like it..."

Before the Lilim could finish his sentence, he was in half just below the waist, the muscles were already shooting out of the wound on either end and meeting in the middle. Had anyone seen the fighting from now they would have been very worried, it involved Shinji and the Lilim fighting very quickly. But that wasn't the worrying part, because the Lilim's focus was on Shinji the regeneration stopped when he formed to fiery red blades on his arms. So Shinji was fighting a pair of legs, attached to a blade wielding body by a series of muscles about a metre long. But it didn't stop them, yet in his arrogance Shinji kicked the Lilim into a wall.

"Pull yourself together!"

"What?"

"I won't fight an enemy that's falling apart at the seems."

The Lilim smiled at his arrogance, pulling himself back together he was now faster than before and he ran to Shinji full speed, although Shinji cut off the Lilim's arm there was laughter when Shinji stopped. Shinji heard laughter behind him after the attack, he knew it was the Lilim but he didn't know why, until he felt pain in his side. He looked down and saw that the Lilim's blade was stuck in his side, he pulled it out and threw it on the floor. He held the wound as blood started pouring out of the gash, the Lilim laughed but Shinji's laboured breathing, lacking pain and worry, started to get off putting. He looked at Shinji's glowing hand, once removed he saw that Shinji had healed his own wound, but at the same time doing it weakened him. The Lilim laughed but knew that he had to destroy the destroyer now, playtime was finished. He held out his hand and created a huge beam of fire that would completely engulf Shinji.

"SHINJI!"

Asuka yelled from the door as she saw the beam head towards him, but Shinji didn't move, instead he made the armour like a large shield that he held in front of him. The sword was little more than its usual metal but the armour extended about a metre from Shinji's arm in each direction. The rest of the flames were held at bay by what little AT field Shinji could continue to produce in his weakened state. The Lilim saw that Shinji was blocking his attack and stopped it, Shinji fell to his knees, a few more steps and he was close enough to slice off his head. He held his arm up high savouring the moment, Shinji was too weak to fight he had to think of something, but he knew trying to stab him now wouldn't work. Just as the Lilim was finished savouring a red object appeared before Shinji.

"You won't hurt my Shinji!"

Shinji looked up and saw Asuka standing there, her arms were extended out beside her body.

"Asuka, run..."

"I'm not leaving you...not again!"

Shinji could hear the tears coming from her eyes, and for a moment he felt too weak to fight at all, he was reverting back to the Shinji that was a coward. But he was too weak to fight it, he began tingling all over, the paralysing fear, the apprehension, he didn't want to lose her, or anyone else. But he could hear something else drawing closer as the Lilim held his blade high again.

"You don't get it do you? I will kill you to get him without hesitation."

"Well you are hesitating and that is good, sorry Big Red!"

Asuka looked right and saw Touji knock her out of the way, she was a strong girl, he knew knocking her a few metres wouldn't kill her. As Touji looked up he could see rage in the Lilim's face but he could hear a pounding heart beside him and he knew what that meant. Shinji was on the brink of berserker, he was ready to kill in order to protect those he cares about but he still had enough concentration to hear a whirring noise. Suddenly Touji's skin on his right forearm stretched and ripped, from which a layer of metal with glowing blue semi spheres began to glow. The layer rested on top of Touji's knuckles, then he brought his arm back, causing all the skin and clothes to rip, and in a single move he brought the fist up to the Lilim's shoulder.

"Try this on for size!"

The fist connected with the Lilim's shoulder but he wasn't expecting much, but once he looked he saw a glow all the way along the robotic arm that Touji had. Tubes glowed blue and they led all the way to the fist, he could feel the manipulation of an AT field and suddenly it was like his shoulder disintegrated. He watched as the orbs that had been hidden by his shoulder were now in plain sight and his shoulder was gone. It just disappeared, the arm fell to the floor, Touji smiled and another noise could be heard. Touji balanced on his left foot then pushed off as hard as he could.

"NOW!"

Touji jumped into the air, performing a backwards somersault, as he left the ground the Lilim began to see what Touji's body was hiding. Shinji was now blue eyed, but they were glowing, the sword was held out in front of him, and as soon as Touji's body was out of the way the sword went forward. This meant Touji even felt the heat from the sword as it passed through the gap in his legs, by the time Shinji and the large hilt got to where his legs were he was over Shinji's head. The sword cut right into the disgruntled Lilim cutting the crystal heart in half, but to added to the pain, Shinji then spun the sword in his chest, causing the crystal to be completely engulfed in the light. The light disappeared and Shinji could see right through the Lilim for a few seconds before the Lilim's entire body disintegrated. Shinji fell onto his sword, which thankfully was completely off, otherwise it would have cut straight through the floor and left Shinji holding himself up on the hilt alone. He returned to normal, the normal that knew he had to leave without drawing too much attention, without too much talking. He felt a hand on his shoulder, it was cold and heavy.

"Thanks Touji, I don't think I could have saved Asuka alone."

"Don't mention it, I've been wanting to knock her like that for years."

They looked to see Asuka sitting there, she was just staring at them, the tears in her eyes were huge. Shinji knew he couldn't just leave her so he stood up, he walked over and kissed her on the forehead.

"Thank you, Asuka."

Shinji then got up and met Touji, walking out of the hall with Touji holding him up.

"Wow you managed to do that without making it look painful."

"Do you know how much pain my back is in?"

"I can imagine, you know I need a new fake skin now!"

"Yeah yeah."

Asuka watched the boys leave, she stood and walked over to the area that Shinji held off all the flames, it was impressive to see the black scorch-marks part where Shinji was. She walked on and then noticed something out of the corner of her eye, it was a small crystal shard. She picked it up and looked at it, it was obviously the heart of the Lilim, there was heavy rain after the last fight and the shards seemed to dissolve. She put it in her handbag, she pulled her hand out and checked she hadn't cut her hand on it, she did feel a little tingle and she used a tissue to wipe away the one-drop of blood. She walked out of the hall to see Touji help Shinji down to a car, Kensuke was waiting inside and they the drove off, the crowds were at bursting point. Asuka watched the car drive down the road, she also saw Rei and Hikari motion for her to get to the car, she stepped across quite painfully as she tried to rub the marks off her dress and skin after Touji knocked her down. She got in front of the car when she heard a voice behind her, she didn't turn because she knew who it was.

"Good bye Asuka."

"Good bye Ayato, I'm sorry I can't give you the answer that you want."

"Then I'm sorry too."

Asuka sat down in the car and closed the door, it locked as she saw the crowds break the barricades and Ayato disappeared from sight. The car sped down the road and Asuka sighed heavily. Ayato, meanwhile, evaded the hordes and walked down a dark and lonely road, until he heard a sound from beside him. The woman who had continued to come into his life was hanging out of a wall beside him, her body went into the shadow like it was liquid. He should have been shocked but he wasn't in the mood.

"What do you want?"

"I was wondering if you were ready to hear our proposal?"

"Will you tell me your name?"

"If you accept."

"Fine, I'll hear you out."

"Then you can call me 'Shikijou no Lilim'."

"Lilim of Lust?"

Author note – Well you see I knew what I was going to do with this chapter a while ago, so I laughed when I saw the review that said 'Shinji's going to kick his ass' because as you saw Shinji got is ass kicked and had to be saved by Touji. I'm not sure if people are noticing the little things I am putting in with the story, I'm trying to make it like the series in the way that you guys should read it and be left with questions.
