What are my dreams?
The end of your reality.
What is my reality?
The continuation of your dreams.
-End of Eva
Disclaimer: Don't own Evangelion or Boulevard, so there.
A/N: Okay once again rented EoE. All I got to say is that if any of you haven't listened to the audio commentary on the DVD, do. Cause the movie makes a lot more sense then.
I walk a lonely road
The only one I that have ever known
Don't know were it goes
But its home and I walk alone
Shinji closed his fist as his eyes shut. His head bowed slowly, "Forgive me."
Kira raised an eyebrow, "Sure, but what for?"
Shinji's eyes snapped open with a new fire behind them. His gazed burned through Kira, "Not you, Rei."
Kira smirked evilly, "You are actually still going to go up against me?"
"I have no choice. Mother would never forgive me if I allowed this travesty to continue."
"So, you finally realized the truth. That doesn't change a thing though Shinji. Think of the ultimate power we would have together? We could rule this world. Your friends would all be in their own paradises. All they would have to do is stay out of my way."
Shinji started to walk closer to his twin, "You fool, man was never meant to achieve paradise. The 2nd and 3rd impact were caused by people trying to create it."
I walk this empty street
On the Blvd. of broken dreams
Were the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
"Oh, but you are wrong there. See it is not about achieving paradise. It was much more than that." Kira snapped his finger and the scene around them shifted. Shinji's heart dropped when he realized where he was. The Sea of LCL, the cloudy sky, the thousands of crosses scattered across the sea, the destroyed Eva series. Kira chuckled, "You think you are so much better than I. But you are just like me Shinji. You created your own little world to escape this one. You tried to escape reality just like the others."
"I did what was best for the world."
"Get off your high horse! No matter what you say, you can't change it. You did the same thing you are trying to stop me from doing."
Shinji bowed his head, "Why would you want a world like this?"
Kira chuckled, "The Tree of Wisdom."
"What?"
Kira let out an evil cackle, "You really don't realize what happened that day do you? You contained both the Tree of Wisdom and the Tree of Light." Kira walked up to Shinji and smirked, "Shinji, you were the ultimate being. You could change this world into anything you want."
Shinji shook his head in disbelief, "I-"
My shadows the only one that walks
beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find
Till then I'll walk alone
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
"You blocked those images out a long time ago. But I remember them all. I remember the pain, the horror, the feeling like I had failed the entire world. But I then hit the realization, in our failure Shinji, we had ultimate power. But your will was stronger then, so we were split. Like two sides of a single coin, life and wisdom. And now, I have come back to regain what was mine Shinji! I want both sides of the coin. And I will make you suffer for what you did!" Kira ran at Shinji with his fist drawn. He hit Shinji right on the cheek knocking Shinji backwards. Kira then rubbed his fist, "See, I am much stronger than I was back them. When we split, I got all of the anger, and you got all of the sorrow. I feel no remorse. That is what makes me superior."
"You're wrong. I may have gotten all of this sorrow, but I also got the good parts of myself. I got the ability to make friends and trust others. That is my strength."
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And were I walk alone
Read between the lines of what's
Fucked up and every things all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm
still alive
And I walk alone
Kira smirked, "And yet you would rather fight me than allow your friends to live in pure bliss. That's why they have abandoned you yet again. Let's face it Shinji, you're alone, you will always be alone."
Shinji's eyes once again blazed with a fire of intensity, "I am never alone." Just then earth started to shake.
"Then where are they now?" Kira snapped his finger and an entire army appeared behind him, "My men are here. So much for your friends."
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find
Till then I'll walk alone
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
Kira smiled as he walked towards Shinji and punched him in the gut, "I hope they show up soon, or there won't be anything left to save."
Shinji gasped for air trying to breathe. Shinji feel to his knees holding his stomache trying to catch his air, "Please mom, show me how to use it?"
Kira bent down to Shinji's level with a sick grin, "Did you forget? Mom's dead." Kira then stood up straight and delivered a kick to Shinji's ribs knocking Shinji across the field.
Shinji coughed as the blood started to fill his lungs.
Kira walked up grabbing Shinji by the hair and making him stand, "Your friends aren't coming; mom isn't coming; Rei isn't coming. You are completely alone. You always have been."
I walk this empty street
On the Blvd. of broken dreams
Were the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a..
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find
Till then I'll walk away!
Shinji clinched his fist ready to fight the entire group himself. Just then there was an explosion in the center of the group of soldiers.
"You men. Always so impatient."
Shinji spun around to see Asuka on the top of a hill with a rocket launcher resting on her shoulder. There were a few more blasts. Touji appeared behind the arm with a grenade in his hand, "Still got the old arm." There was a barrage of gunfire from two different sides. Shinji looked to either to reveal Rei and Misato. Misato smiled at the young man that had once been her ward, "We'll take care of the other guys, you just settle your stuff with this guy Shinji."
Kira looked around, "How? But only I-"
Shinji ran forwards returned the punch in the cheek from earlier. Kira flew backwards from the force. "You know you talk way too much. I snuck them in during your little Tree of Life speech." Kira threw a punch at Shinji's face but it was stopped by what appeared to be an AT field. Shinji then landed an uppercut to the jaw. Kira stood staggering, "How did you-?"
"Don't you forget who you are talking to. I know everything you do. Time to test our limits."
Ignoring the battle around them the two mirror images started to fight. They blocked each other's moves perfectly. Neither really seemed to catch the advantage. Shinji's friends had long since taken care of Kira's troops. They watched in amazement at the calm, quiet Shinji showing his true anger.
Both threw a punch and both caught it with their other hand. Both were short of breathe. Kira smirked, "You always were the weaker one. And here is why." He jumped backwards pulling out a gun. He pointed it at Shinji, but swung it around pointing it at Rei. He fired. Rei closed her eyes ready for the bullet, but it never came. It was degenerating right in front of her. Kira watched in shock, "I never did that before."
Shinji walked forward calmly and landed a shot to the gut. Kira doubled over and then fell to the ground staring at Shinji. "You never need to," came Shinji's calm voice. He then started walking towards the cowering version of himself. "And just for future reference," he bent down and grabbed Kira by the throat lifting him off the ground choking him, "No one ever hurts Rei." He squeezed tighter until Kira went limp. He then dropped him to the ground. Shinji started to walk off. As he walked the world turned back to the one he knew. Everyone watched in amazement.
Shinji talked without turned around, "He is trapped in that world now by himself. I took his abilities away. Now, I would really like to get some sleep."
---Epilogue---
Shinji shivered as the cool New York air hit him. That was the bad thing about getting out of the nice warm bed: the cold air outside the bed. Shinji smiled as he felt something warm nudge closer into his chest. He looked down at the blue patch of hair leaning on his chest. He ran his hand through it and smiled. Maybe reality wasn't so bad after all.
A/N: Thanks to all the reviews. I really do appreciate them. Hope you like the ending. I may do another fic in the far future, cause I have a few fics left to finish. Thanks again ya'll.
