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 : Secrets and Lies

Touji and Kensuke walked through the front door at about 3am that morning, Kensuke had a hotel on the opposite side of town but after the night's events he decided to agree to Touji's offer of a couch. They closed the door quietly.

"Shhh...we don't want to wake..."

Before Touji could finish the sentence, a light came on and they were both blinded. When they looked they could just about see four female figures standing infront of or beside the light.

"I knew I had seen that car before."

Touji and Kensuke immediately recognised Asuka's voice and as Hikari, the only sane one, twisted the light back to its normal downward pointing position the two boys could see the anger in the other three women's faces. They knew full well that they couldn't get out of this one.

"Do you want to come through into the kitchen?"

"No I want to know where Shinji is."

Kensuke just looked at her and the two boys walked into the kitchen, like in Misato's old apartment, there was a very large table big enough to hold all six people on. Touji and Kensuke sat on one side, facing Asuka and Hikari, with Rei and Misato at the ends. They looked at each other then sighed.

"What do you want to know? But we aren't telling you where Shinji is, we made a promise."

"YOU WILL TELL ME!"

Asuka flew forward to punch Touji but his hand shot up and caught her fist before she even had a chance to see it. Up until now Touji had kept his hand in his pocket and had put on a spare jacket when he got into the car with Shinji. Needless to say Hikari was shocked to see the metal arm hanging in front of her.

"How...?"

"About three years ago..."

"Three!?"

"When I went on that business trip for a few months, it was only meant to be a week..."

"It...was my fault."

They all looked at Kensuke who sat with his head down, trying to avoid looking at any of them.

"It wasn't your fault."

"It was!"

"No it wasn't, it was fate, it was the universe's divine sense of irony. There is no other way I would be in a car accident that would make me lose my right arm and leg after Shinji went to the trouble of making sure I got my left arm and leg back after Third Impact."

Hikari looks at him with complete confusion, she didn't remember angels at all, she didn't know what they were, so logically she didn't remember Touji losing his arm and leg. Although the three girls who did remember evas and angels were confused by why Touji did as well.

"You guys are probably wondering how we remember Evas and Angels, ne?"

They all nodded in unison.

"Well Kensuke has this little theory."

"Right! Well I believe that those who were directly involved in the Evas and Angels remember, by direct involvement I mean inside the entry plug."

"But Misato never went into an active Eva."

"Yes neither did Maya, Makoto or Shigeru, yet they were all in the Geofront when Third Impact occurred. Although they did join the rest of us in the galactic oneness bit, they were for a few seconds in almost direct contact with Lilith, the big one that is, which makes them the same."

"That seems a little farfetched..."

"Well how do you explain Kensuke needing the same treatment as us pilots eight years ago?"

"Oh..."

"No they are right Asuka, if an Eva and LCL can absorb a person entirely, what's stopping it from doing minute changes when we aren't looking?"

"Right..."

Hikari had her head down and was shaking violently.

"Hikari-chan?"

"HOW DID YOU LOSE YOUR ARM AND HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL ME!?"

Kensuke waved his hands in front of his face, and tried to smile.

"I'll tell the story, Touji was unconscious for most of it."

"Shut up."

"Anyway, about three years ago I asked Touji to meet me at our headquarters in London, when he got there he was involved in an accident with a double decker bus. When I got to him he had already had his arm and leg amputated, I got him transferred to our medical research facility so we could take care of him."

"I asked to call Hikari to tell her that I would be busy, that was why I didn't use the video phone, you might have seen my arm and leg..."

"Touji asked me to make him an artificial arm and leg that could be passed off as normal but we couldn't do it so easily, it required a large amount of circuitry. I thought about perhaps replacing his arm with a completely biological component, perhaps the regenerative properties of the angels could help but they don't exist anymore. For the next month we worked on building a base arm unit and an angel detecting device. By some fluke, we found Shinji..."

"Kensuke brought Shinji in to see me and I met the two children, we promised not to tell anyone that he was alive and he promised to help."

"Shinji used himself as bait to catch what he called a 'Lilim' a human angel...person...thing, and we got to work. We found that we could use the AT field detection technology as a scanner, we found each time we cut off a limb, the scanner showed that the arm was still there. We put it on Touji and discovered that Touji's arm and leg were still there, according to his AT field."

"That's why people who lose limbs say that they can still feel them."

Rei said, she had picked up random bits of knowledge from all over the place in university.

"Exactly, the AT field is still there but the biological components aren't, so we began work on an arm and leg that would work through mental impulses and the AT field. So we made it very sensitive to AT energy, that is what those orbs were for."

Asuka looked at him.

"Asuka saw Touji release a large amount of AT energy from his fist, it was never intended to be a weapon, it was an automatic response built into the arm, Shinji and I never even told Touji it was there. If he didn't have it he could destroy the arm completely and worse..."

"He had to explain it to me in the car."

"His arm and leg move through some mental commands but they were far too jumbled to give efficient movement, so we made the AT sensors."

"What happened to the Lilim?"

"Shinji had been chased by him for a while, Kensuke..."

"I put him out of Shinji's misery."

Everyone looked at the now, surprisingly cold Kensuke. He pushed his glasses back up and looked at them.

"It was a necessary evil."

"Anyway, they put the arm and leg in and Kensuke fused some cloned skin to the biological components of the arm, it made it practically real."

"Enough to fool me for three years anyway."

"Hikari I'm sorry, I didn't want you to worry..."

"What happened to Shinji?"

"He said we weren't to tell any of you anything, it was part of the reason Touji didn't tell Hikari, if she asked where the arm came from then she might be let in on the fact that to an extent, Angels still exist. He said if he was ever in the neighbourhood he would call..."

"Which he did about a month ago, he had called a couple of times before but this time he wanted picking up from the airport..."

"Which is why I saw your car drive away that night."

"Correct, I'm surprised you didn't see us through the glass."

"I was a little tired."

"So where is Shinji now?"

"Why he's in Never Neverland."

Asuka, Misato and Rei glared at them evily, they had both said that in unison, they had obviously tried to memorize a place where Shinji wasn't. They weren't about to tell them where he was.

"Well can you tell us where he has been?"

"I suppose, he was wandering Europe at first, he woke up on an island south west of spain, he went all over Europe with Lilith and Waya, I think he found them on the island he was on. He then came to London, when we found him and he said he was going to Germany to look for a Lilim there. When he rang he said he had found the person he was looking for in Bonn, I think he said and about a year ago he had tracked him to Berlin."

"Yeah he gave the impression that the Lilim didn't even know he was one."

"Well that was the last time he called before saying the Lilim was heading into Tokyo 3 and he would be there aswell. He never got the Lilim's name but he said he was with someone we knew."

Asuka seemed a little worried but no one else seemed to make any connection, she just sat quietly and tried to take in everything they had found out. Although at the same time she tried to put down the urge to kill the two boys from hiding it from them.

"I know he said we weren't supposed to tell you but..."

"But what?"

"He does miss you...all of you. But he has a mission and a family to protect and he can't be distracted from that."

"Aren't we his family?"

"Asuka, he has been taking care of two children on his own for ten years, not to mention the fact that Lilith is seriously sick..."

"Sick...Waya said she was sick."

"Can you tell us what is wrong with her?"

"Her AT field is breaking down, the bigger she gets the weaker she becomes, she has been falling apart for a while, Shinji has been holding her together and using special drugs but it isn't enough."

"I told you."

"Shut up."

"I'm sorry to change the subject back but...how did Touji create such a large amount of AT energy?"

"That is something we aren't sure of, Shinji said he isn't an Angel, or a Lilim, because Shinji gets a thing in the bottom of his stomach when a Lilim is around. Which he said is bad because he always feels it when Waya is around but at the same time Waya has the same abilities but doesn't sense Shinji."

"So if this is more than some isolated incident, I could be whatever Shinji is, but then again Shinji doesn't really know what he is, he isn't human, angel or Lilim."

"Touji..."

"Look it's late, if you guys are finished talking about Shinji, I would like to go to bed...and don't worry Hikari I'll tell you everything there."

The others grumbled and then went their separate ways, Kensuke moved towards the couch but Asuka jumped on it, Rei and Misato were draped over the other chairs in the four piece suite and that left Kensuke with the floor. He wasn't really that bothered.

"Can I have a cushion? Ow..."

He said as Asuka threw a cushion at his head, they all fell asleep, Asuka just kept thinking about Shinji until she drifted off and drempt.

Author note – So revelations eh? You all see that coming? I'm sure there are some other things in there that surprised you but once again there are some more questions thrown in.
