Thanks for the reviews! I think of you all as good friends! Anyway, I'll stopping flinging bullshit and get on with the story.

Misato watched as the Rei clones screamed and fell apart like old china, staining the LCL red with blood. She whipped out her sidearm and pointed it at Ritsuko. "You know..." Her gaze fell to the floor, where the blonde doctor sat sobbing. All anger forgotten, she rushed to the side of her friend. "Why did you do it?"

"To spare them the pain." Ritsuko looked at her. "All everyone is to HIM is a tool that can be used. And when they're of no use, he throws them away." She turned her teary gaze to the blood-stained tank. "He used my mother, the pilots, and everyone else. Now he wants to use them." A small grin flashed on her face. "Well, let's see him use broken dolls."

"Is there anything else?"

Ritsuko composed herself and stood up. "Just one more stop."

Ritsuko pressed a button on the controller, and the walls went dark. The two of them walked out of the room and down the hall to another room. They entered the room, and Misato came face-to-face with the angel hanging on the cross she had seen all those days ago.

"Ritsu, I've already seen this. I know that that is Adam."

"That's were you're wrong. This is Lilith."

"Lilith?"

"Adam was the 1st angel, and the cause of 2nd Impact."

Misato remembered all too well 2nd Impact. That was the reason for the massive scar on her body.

"Lilith is the 2nd Angel, and according to the Dead Sea Scrolls, the mother of all humanity."

"So, we would be the Lilums?"

"Right." She looked at her watch. "Oh dear. The Fifth Child is coming in a few minutes." She and Misato walked out of the room and down the hall. "Misato, I would appreciate it if you told no one about this."

"You can count on me."

Shinji and Rei walked side-by-side. Misato had called them to the Commander's office for something but he didn't know what...

"A new pilot."

He turned to Rei. "What?"

"A new pilot is coming. To replace the Second Child."

He nodded slowly. 'God, I want to kiss her so badly.' (Rei, not Asuka!)

Apparently, she had the same thing on her mind, for she turned to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. He in turn wrapped his arms around her waist and the two kissed. Unfortunately...

"Mein gott! What is the matter with you two!?"

Shinji had to refrain from striking out at Asuka as he turned his attention from Rei to her. As his gaze fell on her, his eyes widened. "Holy crap, what happened to you!?"

Asuka glared at him while scratching the arm cast on her left arm. "Are you short of memory!? That fucking Alien bug threw me out the fucking window!"

"...And you landed on the Sensei?"

"No, I hit a tree, then I landed on Sensei."

'That explains the broken arm.' "You know that they're replacing you."

That got her off. "Don't remind me! I'm pissed enough as it is!"

The 3 pilots walked in silence until they came to the door that led into the Commander's office. They opened the door and the Commander looked them over. "How good of you to join us."

Sub-commander Fuyutski spoke up. "The Major will be arriving shortly with the new pilot."

Actually, he didn't know how right he was. 'Cause right there, Misato walked in with a boy wearing a school uniform. The guy was about Shinji's height, with pale skin and silver hair. Ritsuko came in after them.

"Hello, my name is Kaoru. Kaoru Nagisa."

Well, he seemed nice enough, but appearances are often deceiving. But apparently Ritsuko was the only one who paid attention to his current appearance. "Where'd you get that bruise?"

The Commander spoke up. "I've never seen you so motherly with our pilots, Dr. Akagi."

Ritsuko gave him a cold look. "I'm supposed to make sure the pilots are physically well." She turned her attention back to the boy who was now rubbing his neck. "Now, answer my question."

"I...don't know." He smiled weakly. "Believe me, if I could help you, I would."

Misato piped up. "We just finished his Synch Test, Commander, and his overall score was 81%."

"A bit high for a first-timer, but well done nonetheless," said Fuyutski.

Suddenly, Kaoru's eyes widened. His face twisted.

"Nagisa?" Ritsuko sounded concerned.

Kaoru let out a loud belch. He covered his mouth, hiding a grin. "Pardon me."

Ritsuko relaxed slightly. But it was not to be.

Kaoru fell to the ground, clutching his chest, letting out a small cry. Ritsuko ran to him, and as she opened his shirt, a fleshy bubble blossomed on his chest.

"Get back!"

Too late. The bubble burst, sending blood everywhere like some mad sprinkler, a particularly large gush slamming into the Commander.

In the middle of Kaoru's torn-open chest, a worm-like thing the size of a heftily musculed arm stood up.

Kaoru Nagisa got one look at the creature he'd given crimson breech birth to, then his head fell back, holding death in it's eyes.

Everyone was either frozen with fear or shock. But the worm-thing wasn't going to wait to see what they were going to do. It chittered at them and began sliding out.

Misato was the first to recover. She whipped out her side-arm and shot at the creature.

It slapped off to one side, and the bullets slammed into the dead body, sending up chunks of flesh and bone. It squirmed toward the door, which was not far. Locked. It squirmed away just as the bullets slammed into the door. It realized that the entire room was in shadow, so there was no where to hide.

The creature stopped in the middle of the room. 'You're mine.' Misato's finger tightened around the trigger.

The chestburster (I'm sure you've all realized what it is by now) could sense the presence of its mother (the Queen is the mother of all Xenos). It squirmed away just as the bigger creature let out with another burst of bang-pods (Bullets).

The creature squirmed away just as Misato fired off another shot. "Dammit!" She kept firing as the creature squirmed towards the desk. But it then did something unexpected. It coiled up Rei's leg, squirmed up her skirt and shirt, then appeared at the neck of her shirt. She screamed and the creature chittered again. It then leapt up at the ceiling and slipped into a ceiling vent. Misato kept firing until she ran out of bullets.

It wasn't until after Misato kept firing that everyone begin to move. Shinji held Rei for all he was worth, and Asuka gingerly stepped around the corpse. Rei was shaking furiously, and Shinji held her, whispering words of comfort.

"I'd surmise," said Ritsuko, wiping some blood off her face, "that that is what happened to the agent." She then saw something out of place in the dead boy's chest. "Commander..." she drifted off, and after a great deal, pulled a blood-covered baseball-sized orb from the chest with a squelching noise.

Sub-commander Fuyutski widened his eyes in surprise. "Is that..."

"An S2 organ. He was an angel all along."

The Commander, who had been silent, spoke at last. "Major, dispose of that body at once."

Misato and the agents grasped the dead boy, and hauled it out the door. Shinji, Rei, and Asuka took it on themselves to leave. Ritsuko followed, but...

"Doctor, stay here for a while."

The Sub-commander took it on himself to leave, which he did. The Commander spoke at last. "The Fifth Child is the 17th angel. SEELE is trying to take matters into their hands." He looked at her. "In less than 22 hours, SEELE will have the JSSDF attack NERV. I need you to guard the MAGI."

"Yes...sir." She made the 'Sir' sound like a curse.

"And Akagi?"

"Sir?"

"Make sure that the First is separated from the Third."

Within the vast, empty room, the twelve monoliths met with one of their short conversations.

"The 17th has been defeated," spoke 05.

"Then the time for Impact has come," finished 11.

"Our curse shall be lifted, and humanity shall be one," spoke 08.

01 spoke. "But for 3rd Impact to take place, NERV must fall."

"We shall deploy the JSSDF and the Type-5 Evas," stated 12.

One by one, the monoliths disappeared in sequence, until 01 was left.

"Soon, all shall be one."

True to the Commander's word, less than 22 hours after the death of the 17th angel, the JSSDF infiltrated and attacked NERV viciously and without mercy. Backs were stabbed, locks were picked, and computers were hacked. The JSSDF were relentless in their objective, which was to eliminate all the personell of NERV.

Through all of the chaos, 9 gigantic black planes circled like vultures. Within each plane, which were numbered 05 to 13, a massive form lay waiting.

Waiting for the moment to strike.

"Dammit!" Misato was rushing around, trying to keep everyone in order. Which was failing, due to the fact that the JSSDF were within the complex.

"It's no good! The MAGI are being hacked from everywhere! Defense systems are locked!" Makoto Hyuga was trying his best to stay calm, which he was failing miserably at.

"I've got it!"

"Ritsuko?"

"I've figured out about the Aliens!"

"That's not important right now!"

"Yes it is! The Aliens are born from the facehuggers!"

Misato stopped what she was doing. "What?"

"The facehuggers are those crab creatures we found. From my diagnostics, there is a tube in the facehuggers that allows it to lay some sort of spore in the being that it's attached to. Thereby, it drops off and the being carries the spore until..."

"...the creature burst from the being's chest," finished Misato. The idea seemed to farfetched to be true, but true it seemed now.

"Right. It happened to the agent and Nagisa, and soon..."

"...it will happen to Shinji and Rei." The thought hit like a sniper bullet. Her charges were going to die, just like Kaoru and the Section-2 agent.

"We've got incoming!" Makoto was typing away at his terminal like his life depended on it. Which it did.

The soldiers had invaded NERV like they were supposed to, and they killed any NERV personell that they came across.

"Heh, this is easy."

"Too easy, if you ask me."

"Look sir."

The squad looked in the direction their leader pointed, and they saw Rei and three personell.

"First Child spotted. Commencing with termination."

Suddenly, they heard a loud screech, and screams of pain and terror. They ran down the corridor that they saw the personell run, and screeched to a halt.

Before them, the Alien drone had attacked the NERV personell and killed all three of them. It was now in the process of devouring them.

"Holy shit, what the hell is that thing!?"

The drone turned its head in their direction and growled, blood dripping from its fangs.

"The First is not in sight--" Those were his last words before he was stabbed by the drone's tail. The soldier was lifted into the air, and fell to the ground. The other soldiers got on their knees and leveled their machine guns at it.

Outside of NERV, the JSSDF were preparing for a complete assault against NERV. The commander of the assault force sat at the head of the army. "Give me a status report."

"Everything looks good from here, sir. All will go according to schedule."

Suddenly, the lieutenant's radio sprang to life. "Command, this is Blue Leader! Command this is Blue Leader!"

"Respond."

"Command, we are under heavy fire! It appears that some sort of Alien lurks within NERV! Sustaining massive casualties! 20% of our forces have been slaughtered!"

"And what of the NERV personell?"

"They were attacked too. Currently we are on route to the Command Center, and--"

Something came out of the radio, sounding like, "Oh my god, there's another one!".

"Command, we have just been ambushed! Another creature has--" The lieutenant heard the radio drop to the ground, then gunshots, then shrieks and screeches.

The Queen could feel the drone's thoughts as she and the King huddled together. It had appeared that the drone and the praetorian found a new Hive for them. She nuzzled the King, and he understood immediately. He let out a roar that said one thing to the Hive-members.

GO!!!!

"Lieutenant, report."

"Sir, our forces report that they are being attacked by Aliens."

"Bullshit. Probably some new NERV weapon..." he trailed off as they felt the ground shake beneath them. "What the hell is that?"

"Commander!" The Lieutenant pointed off to the distance, where a massive dust cloud approached.

The Commander lifted his binoculars to his eyes, then as he let them go, his face was as pale as snow. "Kami-sama save us..."

"Major, there are Alien creatures within NERV!"

"How many!?"

"2, but they've taken out over 20% of the JSSDF forces!"

Misato pointed to Maya Ibuki. "Get Asuka in her EVA now! And find the First and Third now!"

"Major?"

Misato looked at Shigeru Aoba. "What!?"

"I-I think you should see this..." He pressed a few keys, and on the monitor showed what had frightened the JSSDF Commander.

Appearing on the horizon were hundreds of Alien drones, running like the hounds of hell.

"Oh my god..."

Let loose the dogs of war.

Damn, that felt good! In case you can't tell, I hate Kaoru and Gendo. For those who are confused as to why there are so many drones, the Aliens were there for 15 years. Need I say more? Review plz. Ja ne.
