Disclaimer: I don't own anything like I said before… Oh well I think I've done enough of these disclaimer things to get away with doing a crapy one like this.

A/N: Okay sorry for the wait, but I've been working a lot and playing final fantasy 11. But I have; while at work (Long story…) been working on the last of this story of 'Gods, Goddesses and Eva's' so yes this will be one of the final chapters. I figure three… maybe four chapters to go this it's done. Then I go back to typing more for Player0 and the three way Fic he has going with myself and slayer6. So I hope you all enjoy.

Chapter 20

Death…

"Shinji has reached unit 02!"

Down in the depths of NERV, a battle raged as Shinji fought head to head with a possessed unit 02. Complete with new powers.

"Damn you! Stand still!" screamed Shinji as he tried to lead Unit 02 in to the cross hairs of his Eva's machine gun. But to only have it knocked from his hands and him self knocked and pinned against the wall. HE watched as the other Eva brought back its fist.

"Gotta move! Gotta move! Gotta move!"

Forcing his Eva to move from the grasp of unit 02, Shinji managed to knock it back and draw his prog knife.

At the other end of NERV, Natsuki was just about to finish Unit 00 off all while still talking. "It amazes me how much you've taken thus far… the pain you feel through this thing…. one more good hit could kill you or render you bran dead." Natsuki pulled her own fist back.

"Have you made peace with your god?"

Inside Rei was working getting her Eva set up for self detonation. Something that even this far under ground would still inflect considerable amount of damage to NERV and the city above. Just as she was about to finish the last step… she saw Natsuki look over. Just in time to see a blast knock the girl off of her Eva.

Forcing it up in to a sitting possession, Rei controlled her Eva to look over to its right to see Anata standing there.

"Rei Get out of here… Misato sent me!" Anata shouted as she drew a battle cross, letting it unfold she flung it to her side. "Natsuki! Let's finish things!"

Shaking off the dust and the stunned feeling from the blast, Natsuki looked over at the damaged Eva then back at Anata. "I agree sister; Humanity can wait for its end a little bit longer."

Natsuki then floated down to where Anata stood, to see a strange look on Anata's face. She knew what it was for. "What? I'd admit I like our body more, but this one has its advantages…. Speed among one of them."

In the NERV control room everyone watched in awl as the two girls fought bitterly. Sparks flew, walls blew apart, and punches knocked the other back or where blocked.

"My god… " was all Misato could say as she watched on.

"Miss. Misato!"

Jumping at her name being called she looked over at Kou. "Yeah…."

"There are two things we need to worry about. The first is why are all the shadow heading to this location and second is Anata. She's not full Goddess, she relays on a set of reactors to give her powers."

'I can't let the Commander know that I know what's really in there…' Misato thought to her self. "It's the central power core…."

"Vary well… Fiona, Raziel! Go and meet the rest of the guards at the hall leading in to the central core. I will join you two shortly after we find some way to get Anata some for of power."

"Then let me help Sis!"

"WE need to fight them off first…." Kou let out a heavy sight and placed his hand on to Fiona's shoulder. "Look… I want to help her more then anyone else trust me. But right now when it between those two we'll only get in the way." Kou then looked over at Raziel. "The best thing we can do for the both Miss. Rei and Anata is to make sure that the Shadow doesn't come any where close to that core."

"You guys…. There is an access way that leads right to the main hall just before then core. We have guards massing there, but I don't see any weapons on you guys." Misato said.

Kou pulled out his staff, letting it unfold. "This is my weapon."

Raziel raised his hand. "We don't have anything."

"We'll have something ready for you two when you guys get down there."

Just then Unit's 01 and 02 crashed through the huge metal wall of the main control room. Falling over the massive holographic map. Picking up the radio microphone…. "Watch out!"

"I cant help it Misato! This thing is all over the place!" Shinji yelled back, and then he pushed Unit 02 back to the ground and punched it in the head. Making the ground below it crumble in to peaces, it reached up to the ceiling pulling at a support beam; causing the ceiling to fall on to Unit 02. Stopping all function.

"Major! Unit 02 has gone silent!"

"Great Job Shinji! Now grab a mass driver and help Anata!" Yelled Misato. "She's looks like she's not doing to well!"

It was right, Anata wasn't doing to well, not being able to remove her point limiter, and the weak connection she had with her reactors back in her own Universe. It was like when she first started to develop her powers.

"Sister…. What's wrong?" Natsuki asked. "Why don't you remove the limiter?"

Anata looked up at Natsuki, and then she saw it. Just past Natsuki was a lift, and a big one from the looks of it. Smiling up and Natsuki, Natsuki gave a look back. "Looks like you've lost it finally. Smiling just before your demise."

"Not quite…." Anata said.

Before Natsuki had a chance to do anything she felt a sudden pain in her stomach. Looking down she had found that Anata had rammed her self in to her and against a wall. Quickly recovering Natsuki gave a blow to Anata's back knocking her to the ground.

"Sister this world is perfect. Its people has already had one event that changed their lives, and their response to it is making those iron beasts! But when my kind come not even their man made gods can save them!"

In the control room, Misato could tell what was going on. "Shinji get on left three and get ready." She then looked back at the two girls and waited until Natsuki was occupied.

"These people strive to rebuild what was lost; those Iron beasts are to defend what they still have and what they had rebuilt!" Anata yelled back. "You are not from this world and you will not touch it!"

Natsuki smirked. "I'd like to see you stop me…"

In the central control room, Kou and Ritsuko worked hard to find a way to get Anata power.

"If only she was an Eva we could just hook a cable to her." Ritsuko muttered.

Then that gave Kou an idea. "That's it.. We hook a cable to an Evangelion back up battery; have Anata touch that live wire."

"And get her killed!"

"No her goddess powers should keep her from getting killed, and she tougher that she looks." Kou said. "Have one of the back up batteries on the surface ready for Anata."

Being knocked down by Natsuki. Anata fought to keep Natsuki from chocking her. "Sister this was a great match, but it looks like you've meet your end."

Anata glared up at Natsuki. "I… Said not… to call me… sister!" Anata forced her self to say, and then she kicked Natsuki up off of her in to the air. "MISATO NOW!"

"LAUNCH LIFT TWO!" Misato screamed.

Then before Natsuki even had the chance to hit the ground, the lift launched up the shaft at its highest speed. Slamming the girl hard on its surface. Anata watched as she and the platform she was on screamed to the surface. Her finger nails dug in to the metal floor. Then slowly looking over to her left, she could see that Natsuki wasn't doing much better the she was. Then there was a crash. Then nothing.

"Major, left two has reached the surface!"

"Let me see it."

Up on the huge screen Misato looked closely at the two girls. None of them where moving. "Are they dead?" she asked her self out loud. Then she saw that the two where moving vary slowly. "They are tough… that would have killed a normal person."

"We are not normal." Kou stated. "What's the status on that battery?"

Up on the surface, Anata and Natsuki where slowly coming around. From the knock out blow from the left reaching the surface. "Ouch…. My back….."

"Human bodies are so frail…." Natsuki said as she forced her self to her feet. "Wouldn't you agree Sister?"

"Look." Anta said also as she forced her self to her feet. "We're in no shape to do this shit. Why don't you and I call it a day and have at it some other time."

Just as Anata said this she saw the Eva battery sitting there just a couple hundred yards away.

"Sadly I have to finish this today." Natsuki said. "You see I have more waiting for me."

"More friends… Yeah I can understand that." Anata said.

Back in side NERV, everyone watched as this took place, but they where more confused. "What is she doing?" Maya asked the question everyone wanted to ask. Even yes, Commander Ikari him self.

"I must admit an am at a loss as well." He said to him self out loud.

Kou on the other hand knew, right away. "She's mono logging… waiting form unit 01."

"Yeah where is Shinji?" Misato asked.

"On left one, awaiting a mass driver."

"What of the status of the central core." Kou went on to ask over the radio.

"Kou, we're holding these things off, but it's a matter of time." Fiona replied, back from the other end and over the gun fire.

"What about the batteries?"

Maya looked over from her work station. "We're loading them on to left number four, ETA three minutes."

Back on the surface, Anata and Natsuki faced off. Each not really willing to back down. But Anata knew that Kou and the others where cooking something up.

"Why this world?" Anata asked. "These people have been through enough, why not another?"

Natsuki took a step closer to Anata. "Because the elder Ikari wishes for this worlds end, just to be with his wife that passed on." She answered. "Love can make humanity do rash things no?"

Anata didn't believe it. "Yeah right, no human wishes for the earth's direction."

Just then the sounds of a left coming to the surface can be heard. The two looked around to see if they can find the sound was coming from the just past Anata the left came to ground level.

"Anata grab the wire! IT should give you the power you need!" Kou voice shouted from some unseen loud speaker.

Getting the idea, Anata sprinted as fast as she could to the battery, with Natsuki close behind her.

"Thank I will let you level the playing field!" Natsuki shouted. "I was having so much fun!"

"It's not like you have a choice!" Anata yelled just as she was about to dive for the massive Eva battery. Then she stood back up with the hands inches from the equally massive wire. "You want fun?" Anata moved her hands closer to the cable. "Then lets!"

Touching the cable, making sparks fly every direction and letting out a high pitched scream, Natsuki could start to feel Anata's power rise. Then something went wrong… really wrong. Turning to face Natsuki, she noticed something about her. Anata's eyes where black as the blackest night. Taking a step back shock, Natsuki didn't know what to make of it. She quickly recovered.

"Well sister this is different, for a second there you had me frightened…" Natsuki tightened her fists. "I don't thank you can handle this new found power, if you wish to call it that."

In NERV everyone watched as the girls started back up fighting, but it was far one sided. Anata wasn't Anata any more; she wasn't even a human, or a goddess. She was a monster. Everyone watched as she threw the Asuka look a like in to a near by building, and then quickly reach her before she had a chance to recover then drive her face in to the pavement several times.

"My god? What's happened to her?" Kou asked him self out loud. Then he ran over to Ritsuko's station pushing the good doctor out of the way. "What happened? What happened? What happened?"

Ritsuko watched as the young god pressed his hands on to her key board and with out moving a finger, command, after command we imputed. Then the data started to scream on to her screen in a computer code she has never seen.

"Dear god, what have I done?" Kou then ran to another screen. "I'm going to the surface, no matter what make sure that Shinji gets to the surface with the mass driver. Natsuki must not be aloud to survive." Then in a flash he was gone in to the screen.

Misato nodded. "Right where is Shinji?"

Aoba pushed his chair across the work area to another computer. "He's on platform 1A right now being fitter with the mass driver."

Up on the surface, Anata or what was Anata stood over Natsuki's badly beaten body. "Sister, tell me? How dose it feel like being on the other end of the beating?"

Natsuki looked up slowly from the shattered pavement and the pool of blood her face was in. "It's different. But remember this, when I die there will be another one to replace me…"

"Then I will do the same to the next. And the one after that one and so on." Anata then grew a wicked smile as she brought her foot up off the ground. "farewell…"

Natsuki closed her eyes waiting for the end then it didn't come. Opening her eyes she saw Kou holding Anata on the ground several feet away. "Why did he save me?" she asked her self. But then it was all to clear to her when she saw Unit 01 walk around some tall buildings. With a mass driver pointed right at her. He simply didn't want her to die in some slow painful way, but quick and swift… 'How so vary kind.'

Then there was a flash of light, Kou used a force bubble to protect him and Anata. All while Anata drove her finger nails in to his back. Then just as the bright flashes of light ended and the explosions stopped. Kou opened his eyes to see that Anata was out cold. Rolling off of his love he looked over where he last saw Natsuki. There was nothing but a smoldering hole in the round.

Back inside NERV, everyone watched as the smoke cleared and they could see Kou carrying Anata from the battle sight to the nearest left. Back in to NERV. Misato was speechless, and then she felt someone pull on her coats sleeve. Looking down she saw it was Asuka.

"Shinji's been trying to get hold of you." Asuka quietly said.

"Yeah Shinji?"

"Can I come back now?" Shinji asked forcing back his own tears. He never liked killing… even if it was an angle.

"Yeah Shinji your clear for recovery rough three, three, five."

Down in the central core of NERV, Everyone looked around to see that the Shadows that where attacking where suddenly gone. Fiona and Raziel looked around, and then hugged each other.

"THEY DID IT! THEY DID IT!" they cried in unison.

But just then…

"Fiona. Raziel. Return to the command center." Kou's voice said over the loud speaker. Not sounding too happy.

Looking at each other, they both got a sick feeling deep with in the pit of their stomachs. "I wondered what happened." Fiona asked.

Raziel only shrugged his shoulders. "Beats me."

Setting Anata down on an office chair, Kou then walked back over computer screen and started to type. "Miss Misato, I hope that this resent event has tough your people that it is not wise to mess with things that they do not understand?"

Misato nodded. "Where are you guys going?"

Kou looked over from the computer. "We are still stuck here in his world, so we're forced to stick around. Please tell Shinji that he did a great job, even if the task was hard because Natsuki had the appearance of the one he loves."

Asuka's eyes widen. "What? Did you say love?"

"Miss Asuka, Shinji cares so much for you, that it some times makes him sick sometimes… but please remember this what he dose he dose it for you and no one else." Kou stated.

Just then Fiona and Raziel arrived in the commander center of NERV. "Anata!" Fiona cried as she ran to her sister. "What happened?"

"She just pushed her self to hard… and I made a mistake….. We're going home." Kou said looking at the two human Eva's. "Fiona please help her through the mirror."

Gendo Ikari watched as the gods and goddess went back to where ever they came from. He was already working on a way of getting what he wants…

'Power of two gods and goddess… that will belong to NERV and my self.' Gendo thanks to him self.
