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. Right second message for neko, sorry got confused I thought you meant played with her head, but in actual answer to all those who wish to know about Asuka's sex life, I would assume it happened at some point, just because I said when she slept he heard other names, they were 24 and together like a year. Now then, on with the show.

Title : Evangelion The New Testament

Chapter Title : Father's Instinct

It has been three days since the so-called 'Last Elements' attacked and were subsequently pounded into the dirt by two very over-protective parents. In that time the camp had been moved further into the hills, into a small wood were it seemed to be constantly damp and cold. The tents had been set up as best they could but the ground was uneven and getting sleep wasn't something that came easily to them. They had taken to having shifts for look outs, mostly sitting on tree branches and trying to remember when exactly the never ending summer of post Second-Impact, had decided to pack itself in and give them wall to wall thunder storms. Between the raindrops beating down on the tent roof and the thunder in the background, Lilith was only mildly aware of Waya's disturbing dreams. For in truth, the last few days had not been easy on him, although there was the joy of having parents, he felt different inside, stronger, almost like he became stronger when the two final elements were destroyed. There had been the revelations a day before that seemed to replay in Lilith's mind, she just assumed it was the same things bothering her brother.

"Okay Jude, throw it up!"

"Right!"

Jude grabbed the large stick, then like a javelin she threw it up to Touji who waited in the tree, he caught it out of mid-air and hand to push his fingers into the bark of the tree to steady himself.

"Good arm!"

"Thanks!"

Touji then held onto the pike and fell out of the tree, this time in a controlled descent, he lifted their luggage, in the large waterproof container, off the ground and he shoved the pike through a root. Lilith and Waya had watched the two work as they moved up the hill, not wanting to ruin all their equipment they needed to lift it off the floor. Shinji walked up behind the two and shocked them both, scaring Lilith more than Waya, she remembered that, Waya seemed like he was in another world when Shinji scared him. Shinji walked over and saw Touji with his arm around Jude doing the usual boy-ish congratulations, commenting on how good it would have been to have her on the baseball team back at school.

"Why is that Touji?"

"Oh Shinji, this Jude, she has a great arm, she almost knocked me off that tree with the pike! I didn't know she had it in her!"

"Jude would you say you feel particularly strong today?"

"No...just normal..."

"Then I want you to punch that tree."

"Why?"

"Call it curiosity."

"Punch...the tree?"

"Yeah."

"Fair enough."

Jude walked over to a large tree and brought her arm back and in a single movement sent her arm straight into the wood, a second later a hole a metre in diameter appeared, leaving all but Shinji surprised. Shinji walked over and put his arm around the girl like Touji and evaded all questions in regard to why he asked her to do that, when they got to the camp he told everyone of his theory.

"Are you going to lecture us again?"

"What do you mean lecture?"

"Give one of your huge talks on the state of the universe."

"That isn't a lecture! And yes, yes I am!"

"Awww!"

The groan was universal, apart from Waya who seemed to once again be in a world of his own, Shinji rolled his eyes and started anyway.

"Fine, you'll get the absolute dumbed down, short version, okay?"

"Fine!"

"We kill Lillim, others get stronger."

"Come again."

"When we kill a Lillim, the ones that are left get stronger, as proven today by the Jude-tree test."

"That is what that was."

"Yep, I also noticed that the Lillim we faced the other day called themselves the final Elements, now they were two, added to the water, fire and blade, who turned out to be metal, that means there were five elements."

"So what does that mean?"

"There were five sins as well; Wood, Water, Fire, Metal and Earth; Greed, Envy, Hate, Pride and Lust. Now we already know that there were fifteen angels and that, more than likely there will be fifteen Lillim. As we have killed ten, we have Jude and Waya here, that leaves only three more to deal with, whether we do it peacefully or violently."

"But wait, if we had five elements, five sins and five more, wouldn't these five have similar powers as well?"

"That is a good point, Shinji, Waya and I don't seem to have any powers in common, are you sure?"

"Well, you don't need to have similar powers, just something that binds you, when we figure that out we'll figure out what we are up against."

"Hey, you still haven't explained what we are."

"Oh us, we are evangelions."

"What..."

"We are evas, we are the only people who have been inside active Evas, if they can disassemble me and put me back together, it is easy to change our DNA. We already proved this with the illness we all had, not to mention the fact that every Eva was someone's mother and they only went berserker to protect the children. It shows why Asuka and I went berserker the other day."

"So that means..."

"Yes Kensuke after all these years, you are what you sought after so tirelessly. Although Asuka's little light show is something I didn't expect."

Waya hadn't been the same in two days, he just always seemed to be thinking about something and his dreams were starting to scare Lilith. She wished she could see what Waya was dreaming, although Waya wished he could understand it. He saw a desert landscape, with a hill, looking down his feet were moving without his order and his head seemed higher from the ground than usual. His eyesight was poor, he could barely make out the shapes on the hill, he tried to focus but could not. Looking down at his red-leather, open boots, he walked along his vision focusing a little more than before, then in a flash he saw a spear fly through the air and into a man's side. Blood poured along the spear and into Waya's face, then before he woke up he saw the man clear as day, his lifeless face sending a feeling through his body.

"Father!"

Shinji stuck his head through the door, looking inside, Lilith was sitting up with her arm around Waya, his breathing was quick and he was covered with sweat. He looked up and saw Shinji, immediately jumping he latched onto his father with all his strength, almost breaking every bone in the poor boy's body.

"Waya, what's wrong? You haven't been this bothered by a bad dream in years!"

"It was you...you were dead..."

"Come on, look at the number of Lillim we have fought, and I am still going!"

"NO! I killed you..."

Shinji's expression softened, he looked at his son, then at his worried daughter, he hugged the boy and then pried him from his body. Setting him down on the sleeping bag, Shinji sat with his back to Lilith and put his arm around his son. Leaning over he looked into the boy's eyes, then smiled.

"Look, I am still here, that is it, you haven't killed me, and I'm sure you won't kill me, that is unless I do something really stupid."

"But you can't deny that I am a Lillim, all the others have attacked us, attacked Lilith, what is stopping me?"

"Well remember, Jude is still here with us, she isn't attacking, not to mention the fact that I doubt you could hurt me even if you tried."

"This isn't a time for jokes..."

"I know, but remember we have always been there for each other, right Lil? Lil?"

Shinji and Waya turned around, Lilith was sitting up, sweat covered her face and her eyes were white, she was muttering something. Shinji went to check her.

"What's wrong with her?"

"It's the same as a few days ago...I don't know..."

"Shinji...can you come out here?"

Shinji looked at Waya, the two then left the girl for a few moments to leave the tent, everyone was looking down the hill at something on the plains below. As Shinji got closer he could make out a woman, standing all alone looking up at them, for a couple of moments he tried to understand what was happening. Shinji then took a few steps forward, passing Hikari he stopped and glanced at her.

"Lilith is ill again, please take care of her."

"Right."

"So what is your name? What is your evil scheme and how can we beat you?"

"Am I supposed to be amused by that, our order do not make such mistakes."

"Who are 'your order'?"

"You should know Ikari, you have met my sister."

"Really?"

"You remember Miss Lucy."

"Nope, can't say that I do."

"Well she remembers you, she wants me to help eliminate a thorn in her side."

"Well before we start, would you mind telling me your name?"

"Sure...Joanna."

"Right Joanna, let's start."

Shinji raised his arm and found it bound by a long threat of rainbow light, almost like a sheet of tie-dyed material but translucent and formed by a sort of AT field. Shinji threw a his arm back and sent a wave of AT energy forward, ripping the light apart and sending its dimming left overs into the surroundings. The light receded back to the girl who let it fall beside her like a cloak, it still glowing like the colours of the rainbow. Shinji jumped down from the forest onto the field, the others followed them down and prepared to fight. Meanwhile Waya sat staring at the battle and back at the tent, in his head the dream continued to repeat and his hands burned. He fell to his knees and began to cry, he was too quiet to be heard by Hikari but loud enough to be heard by another.

"My boy...why are you crying?"

Waya looked up and a tall woman stood looking down at him, her clothing seemed like that of a business woman but why would she wear it in the middle of a forest. She bent down and held out her hand.

"I'm Lucy, what's your name?"

"You know full well that my name is Waya, I'm not five years old you know."

"Busted...well you know my name and I know yours, we are both Lillim and we should be able to talk civilised."

"Well that depends on what you want with us."

"I only want to offer you a world that you want..."

"A world that I want?"

"Yes, how about a world where your father doesn't have to fight, where he can live in peace with Asuka and the others, where Lilith isn't constantly getting sick?"

"Then I would ask...what do I have to do?"

"Come with me."

The Lillim known as Lucy stood, holding out her hand, Waya stood, he looked for a moment, Shinji and the others were fighting with little trouble, one Lillim between the six of them was fine. He then looked at the tent and then at the woman.

"And Lilith will be okay?"

"She'll be in perfect health."

"Then I'll come with you..."

"Good boy, my Longinus."

Waya and Lucy disappeared into the shadows of the forest while the others continued to fight. Hikari thought she heard something and popped her head out of the tent.

"Waya? Waya!?"

Shinji evaded a tentacle of light, throwing it to the ground he flipped into the air and brought down his glowing sword onto the Lilim's head. The light blocked it and threw him back with the others were the squared off and looked at the now weary enemy.

"You know, I just thought of what you look like."

"Really what is that?"

"Well if you were male you would look like the lead in a musical I once saw."

Touji made this point loudly and the others looked at her with some confusion, not seeing what they meant or why Touji would have seen a musical.

"Would that have been 'Joseph and the Technicolor Dream-coat'?"

"Yeah it was!"

The group sweat dropped but at the same time they saw that Touji was right, she did have the colours but that was just some bible story.

"You are probably thinking that it is just a coincidence that my name is Jo and I have a Technicolor dream-coat like AT field."

"There was that and how you managed to say 'I have a Technicolor dream-coat like AT field' in one breath."

"Always with the jokes!"

Several threads went out and bound the arms of the fighters, immobilising them, they were lifted up and held in the air as other threads whipped them. She then threw all but Asuka away, knocking them all out cold. As she was held there, Asuka looked down and began fighting as much as possible as the Lillim began stabbing her with the threads. On their own the stabbing did very little damage but together they caused a lot of pain.

"Wait until I get my hands on you!"

"I wouldn't worry about that, you'll be dead soon and you can add another loss to your list in the next life."

"I won't lose!"

"I wondered about you...you seem different from the others...feisty...I think it is that Pride of yours, you know it won't do anything useful."

"My Pride...has nothing to do with it...my love for my family has everything to do with it!"

Asuka's eyes glowed red and grey streaks appeared in her hair, although there was a lot of light there was very little force on the 'coat' and the Lillim found it easy to hold her still. That was until the red eyes appeared and stared at her.

"This is what my pride does."

Another layer of colour appeared encircling Asuka, it then formed a spear of light that pierced straight through the Lilim's heart.

"Anything you can do I can do better."

The Lillim smiled for a moment, then looking at her bleeding chest and feeling her crystal heart shatter in its place, she looked back at Asuka.

"Well done...Ayato."

Asuka fell to her knees as the AT field disintegrated, then she saw the last of the Lillim turn to dust, she tried to stand but blood was seeping out of the hundreds of tiny holes in her legs. The others were just conscious enough to catch the final moments of the battle, they dragged themselves towards Asuka, Shinji was the first to speak.

"A gift from Ayato?"

"A gift from one who loves us."

"Good."

"Shinji!"

They rolled onto their backs to look up at Hikari, standing distraught in the forest, she was breathing heavily and looked shocked.

"What's wrong?"

"Waya's gone!"

Author note : Sorry that took its time too, I've been a little busy recently. To all those who live in the UK reading this they will understand when I say I was a little distracted by A level results, which are AABB if anyone wants to know. I'll try to finish the last two chapters of the story soon, or at least before I go to university in October.
