The blazing red haired girl and the chocolate brown haired boy walked down the street and by hand. The girl had her head leaned on the boy's shoulder and she had a smile on her face, "Shinji… when I called you an idiot… I never really meant it… I was just unhappy with how you were acting then and that is the only way I could reply." She snuggled his arm, "Please, never think I actually thought any of those things of you."

"Asuka…" Shinji smiled, "I am so glad to know you are okay…" A trickle of snow began to fall down from the sky, "Snow…" Shinji looked at Asuka for a second and began to worry. He knew he had feelings for her… even if he didn't always make it so obvious… But… was she telling the truth when she was telling him these things? Could it truly be love?

"Hey Shinji…" Asuka held Shinji's arm tightly as a frown caught her face, "I want to tell you something…"

Shinji nodded and gulped excepting the worst, "Okay… Asuka."

"Shinji…" She turned away for a moment but her grasp on Shinji's arm grew tighter, "The reason I am acting different now then I did… before… is because… I did a lot of thinking ever since that day when I… vanished… I… tried to kill myself…" There was a pause as Shinji looked at Asuka with a horror in his eyes. Once seeing this Asuka continued, "But I survived and well… It made me want to change… Because… I suddenly understood how dear things like you and Misato are to me."

Shinji nodded still astounded but noticed that without command, his hand was comforting her, "Asuka… I don't know what to say-"

"Hey stupid!" She exclaimed, "That's the past, what matters now is that we are together!" She hugged Shinji and the two stopped walking for a moment to embrace passionately for the second time.

"Hey…" Muttered Kaworu who was right behind them in a groggy voice, "We have a place to get to."

Tsubasa sighed as he tagged along behind the three, "What a love triangle. Just, they don't realize it yet…"

"How is the plan coming along" Gendou was in a pitch black room with 12 large obelisks standing upright, these obelisks were known as Seele, "We delivered the host of Adam to you from America with the pilot. Ikari, do not fail us." Said the one known as Seele 01.

Gendou nodded, "Of course. Although, why did you have Adam sent to Japan first before sending it to America?" Gendou asked, "It created further risk to losing Adam to an angel did it not?"

"Yes," Said the obelisk known as Seele 03, "But it was our only choice. Angels aren't the only ones who want their filthy hands on Adam."

"True. So what shall we do with Unit 006?" Gendou looked upwards towards the monstrous stones of light, "If what you say is true, then if Unit 006 contacts with an angel, it will trigger Third Impact."

"This is why we have coated it with armor like the other Evangelions. Not only is it a good disguise, but it offers an interesting protection against the other angels." Seele 12 answered, "But Ikari, remember that Unit 001 and Unit 006 are equally important to our ideals. Don't screw it up!"

"Very well." Gendou answered as he crossed his hands, "But… The pilot of Unit 001 has been removed."

"Your own son, Ikari?" Asked Seele 01, "Now that was rather soulless."

"Regardless of whether or not he is my son," Gendou answered keeping his calm, "He is useless if he can't pilot the Eva."

"Return the Third Child to his role of piloting Unit 001." Demanded Seele 09, "This conversation is over." And as the monoliths faded away, Gendou smiled as he stood up and left the room.

"An angel is attacking! An angel is attacking!" The voice rang over the NERV headquarters like a siren, "Pilots of Evangelions 001, 002, 005 and 006 get ready for launch!"

Shinji was inside the cockpit of Unit 001, amazed that he was still there. Even though he was not happy that he was still piloting Eva, it gave him a little contentment knowing his father was proud enough of him to let him pilot. But wasn't it just a few months ago he was told not to pilot the Eva ever again?

"How does it feel, you four?" Asked Misato from the control room.

"Comforting…" Muttered Shinji.

"Same as always!" Reported Asuka.

"It's different than the sync tests…" Tsubasa told Misato.

"It feels like home…" Kaworu said from Eva 005.

Kaworu's Unit 005 looked unusual, in fact monstrous. It had a long fanged jaw, pale white skin and demonic eyes. It had long wings and looked like a creature from a horror movie. However, to contrast, Eva 006 looked the most robotic of all the Evas. It had black and white metal plates as well as the fact that the entire shape was made of polygons and no circles or spheres. Eva 006 almost looked to fake to be an Eva, too surreal.

"Launch!" And in a moment all four Evangelions blasted into the sky and after a long time of being shot upwards, finally landed on the ground, side by side, "Shinji! Take out your rifle and cover Asuka! Asuka! Take out your progressive knife and aim towards the angel's head!" Misato paused for a moment, "Kaworu! Cover Shinji and make sure he doesn't get hit! Tsubasa?"

"Yes ma'am?"

Misato was about to correct him but then remembered the dire situation, "Use your Progressive Blade and strike in unison with Asuka to destroy the angel."

"Yes ma'am!" And with that, the angel appeared in the sky over the horizon. The angel looked oddly familiar to Shinji and Asuka. It was blue and white and rather humanoid. It had glaring eyes the seemed reminiscent of the Eva's.

Suddenly a scream was heard and Eva 006 was on its knees letting out a roar. Part of the Eva's armor fell off revealing a shining light from underneath. The light grew into a tentacle that emerged from the hole in the armor. The tentacle reached forward and grabbed the angel, in a moment, ripping it limb from limb. The bloody remains of the angel were through about Tokyo-3 in a grotesque fashion. This "tentacle of light" stopped and retracted back into Unit 006's body. With a scream from Tsubasa in agony, the Eva fell silent. A blood-like substance covered all the building and walls in Tokyo three as the three working Evas began their descent into NERV headquarters.

"What… just… happened?" Misato asked herself, "They just destroyed the Eva without even a moment of work."

"According to the Magi, there were two angels there." Ritsuko told Misato speaking of the giant "Magi" supercomputers, "Adam and Lilith." There was a cease in all talking for a moment until Maya, one of the people working under NERV, spoke up:

"Sempai… How could Adam and Lilith be there? Isn't Adam in Central Dogma?"

"I thought so… Unless…"

"Sempai?"

"No… It's nothing, continue the work." Ritsuko told the staff as she turned away, "So Gendou… I thought Rei was your pride and joy…" She muttered. And in a moment's breath turned to the screen of her computer and started typing.
