Well, I've gotten mixed reviews about FoD…Although Eeheeheh…

But overall, I guess the feeling for the new FoD Chapters was alright, they're not as sucky as the last…Thanks to the few positive reviewers, like Incognito girl, you kind of raised my fanfic-self-esteem, if only a little bit, and I totally agree with you that Alar's ringtone qualm was quite retarded (Are you kidding me? Are you serious? I guess people don't listen or remember any music that's over ten years old or something. Beetles who? WTF is Elvis? A vegetable?)…Eheheh, I don't mind cursing at my bastar-I mean, readers…

But I digress, here's the new chapter of Fate of Destruction, but meanwhile, please check out my better fics (in my opinion), EoE: Darkness and NGE: Darkness….

Disclaimer: I don't own Evangelion or its characters. Gainax does, and they rock. Who else could create both Evangelion and FLCL!

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Episode 28

Destruction and Salvation

Tokyo 3, Japan

NERV Headquarters, Central Dogma

Naota Kiriyama had not seen the strike coming. As Unit 01's precision knife ripped into Unit 00's chest, he mused about maybe being too trusting of other people. But he knew this wasn't true. He had simply put his guard down because he had regarded Shinji as a spineless coward from the beginning, not much opposition.

He let a grunt as he lightly tapped the controls to bring out his precision knife, and meanwhile grabbed onto Unit 01's arms, which were still pressing the blade into his Eva's chest.

With his right arm, he reached for his precision knife and brought it out, slashing it towards Unit 01's head unit.

I don't want to hurt you, Third Child, but sorry, I'd rather not die…not yet…not until I find out…

To his surprise, Shinji's Evangelion darted back nimbly, dodging the attack, but consequently letting go its hold on the knife embedded in Unit 00's chest armor.

Naota quickly reached for the precision knife and grabbed it with his other free hand. Unit 00 now held two blades, and stalked around Unit 01, which growled like a cornered wolf.

As Naota Kiriyama approached Unit 01, he couldn't help but shiver slightly in fear. Unit 01's was a looming presence of spikes and jagged armor.

"Truly the Eva is a beast…"

Unit 00 darted towards its opponent in a flash, swinging both knives towards 01's chest at precisely the same moment.

Shinji let out a roar of pain mixed with anger as the precision knife in 00's left hand connected with its target, sinking deep into the Evangelion. Luckily the Third Child had managed to grab Unit 00's right hand before a second attack could be connected.

Yet even now he could feel the searing pain in his chest.

Shinji clenched his hands into fists and stared into space, whispered mumblings falling out of his gaping mouth.

"I mustn't run away…I mustn't run away…It isn't my chest…It isn't my- AAAAH!"

Evangelion Unit 01 and its pilot let out an eerily similar roar as Unit 00 slammed its knee into 01's belly.

Unit 01's hands fell limply away from their grappling with 00, and Naota stared grimly ahead as he slashed both knives once more into Shinji's chest plate.

Both precision knives connected with a horrible clash of metal, the impact causing Shinji's Evangelion to hurtle backwards into the nearby wall.

Shinji slumped over dejectedly in his entry plug, shuddering in pain and defeat.

"No one ever cared about me…Asuka…Misato…Kawuro…Father…Moth-"

Suddenly Shinji heard a loud thumping heartbeat. Then complete and utter silence.

His eyes opened wide as he stared out into space.

"Mother!"

Tokyo 3, Japan

NERV Headquarters, Control Room

Gendo Ikari seethed in his seat, this was the first time anyone had seen him so visibly mad. He wasn't truly raging, but for such an emotionless man, even a little feverous anger showed.

He simply issued commands, not looking at the Sub-Commander, or speaking in anything other than orders.

"Manually eject Unit 01's entry plug."

Maya typed on her keyboard and shook her head while Aoba spoke.

"No, it's being rejected from within!"

"Raise LCL compression to maximum!"

A pause and an eerie silence pervaded the control room as the technicians began rapidly getting to work. That had been the same technique Gendo had used when Shinji had become unruly in Unit 01, after Toji had been killed.

"It's not working, I don't understand why, I can't manipulate the LCL compression!"

"There's an unknown presence in Unit 01! All our attempts are being rejected from within…"

Gendo's head slumped down against his steepled hands as the Sub-Commander stared off stoically into the distance.

Yet both grizzled men were thinking the same thing about the same person.

"What are you doing, Yui…"


Unknown Location

Munich, Germany

Kawuro Nagisa shimmered in the dark room, a small holographic, his smile slightly toned down but still rather warm as he faced a ring of dark obelisks surrounding him.

"Tabris…"

"That was not Adam in the depths of the base. I believe that was Lillith"

"That is irrelevant Tabris, that goal was secondary."

"Your mission was to raise the boy's destrado, yet from his actions after your betrayal, it appears you have failed."

"Failed, quite miserably indeed."

"I must politely disagree…Shinji may seem in control now, but it is fleeting, I can feel it, I understand him…This is simply a case of, as you Lillim would say, 'the candle burning brightest before it went out'"

"Words will not help you Tabris."

"You have failed in all your goals. Your death will be utterly meaningless"

"As it should be… whether I live or die makes no great difference. The one thing you Lillim have never been able to grasp, is death maybe the only absolute freedom there ever was."

"Enough of your tired rhetoric…Begone."

Tabris flashed the obelisks a warm smile, even as his hologram faded away, leaving the obelisks alone in the darkness.

"Whatever you are planning, Ikari, it shall fail…"

"The other one is still alive and has infiltrated your organization well."

"He does not know who he works for; he is as oblivious as Ikari…"

"Indeed…we shall utilize two beings of foolishness and blindness and pit them against one another."

"Ikari…you and your bloodline will be our pariah yet…"

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Episode 28

The Storm and the Calm

Tokyo 3, Japan

NERV Headquarters, Central Dogma

Unit 00 stood like a great pillar, as Unit 01 writhed in apparent agony, its great eyes flashing and its body stumbling around with great din, Kawuro Nagisa grasped in one of its great hands.

Apparently the angel was quite fine, he seemed to be viewing the proceedings from within the great fist with a calm, collected grin.

Naota Kiriyama stared on, grimly.

"What…Is the meaning of this?"

The only response was the scream of Shinji Ikari, an agonizing, dehumanizing one, as Evangelion Unit 01 sped towards 00.

Unit 00 backpeddaled, but Shinji's Evangelion circled completely around it in blinding speed, and then delivered a crippling kick to the right leg of Unit 00, snapping it completely in half and sending Naota and his Evangelion hurtling towards the ground.

"So…this is the berserker…it's way too powerful and quick…I cannot…I can't…But I have to fight back, I won't die yet, I can't let him get that satisfaction."

Naota reached quickly for the controls of his debilitated Evangelion, only to have them all of a sudden flash red, everything going into systematic shutdown, except his communicator. The lights around him suddenly flashed off, and a great orange message flashed in front of him, "Manual Override".

Naota's eyes flashed with anger and then confusion as Evangelion Unit 00 leapt forward, grabbing Unit 01 from behind with both hands, and supporting its own weight in that way, since it only had one healthy leg.

What…What is this?

Suddenly Naota heard a grim, odd sound and turned around, just in time to see a flashing message around him, true, and simple. "Core collapse in approximately one minute."

Tokyo 3, Japan

NERV Headquarters, Control Room

Sub-Commander Fuyutsuki stood solemnly beside Gendo Ikari, the only one aware of the small console installed behind Gendo's desk, which he was clearly operating at the moment.

"Ikari…Do you really think that is wise? To possibly sacrifice both Children and both Evangelions to destroy the Final Messenger?"

Gendo smirked.

"Humans can be replaced…Death solves all problems: no man, no problem."

"Hrmm?"

"And it will ruffle the old men quite a bit. And perhaps those two may survive the explosion."

Fuyutsuki shook his old head wistfully.

At what cost to yourself, Gendo...at what cost…Yui would not want you to lose your soul for her sake, I am sure of it…


Tokyo 3, Japan

NERV Headquarters, Central Dogma

Naota's eyes darted around the console, trying to engage an ejection of the entry plug, yet apparently everything was shut down, even the communicator at that point.

Unit 01 was slowly looked towards Unit 00 as it grasped the purple Evangelion, a great mask of malice hiding a shivering, broken boy within.

I've got to warn him…I can't let it end like…

"Shin-"

But Naota's words were sucked right out of his mouth as the entry plug rocketed out of Unit 00, and slammed directly into the wall behind it, skidding around and finally landing on the ground with a crash and cloud of debris.

Unit 01 looked on, Shinji apparently too confused to decide his next course of action, now that the thing that he had been lashing his rage upon had apparently been rendered pilotless.

"Shinji…"

The Third Child looked down at his fist, and then at the fist of his Evangelion, where the voice was emanating from.

"Kawuro?"

"The end is coming for us both, Shinji Ikari. It is fated that we both die, since you could not accept my offering of myself."

"What…What are you talking about?"

"The end is here, yet there will be nothing after for you…"

Shinji's face twisted in confusion as something entered Kawuro's eyes, almost a glimmer of contempt as those pale lips twisted into a slight sneer.

This…can't…this can't be Kawuro!

"Kawuro? What are you saying, I don't…I don't understand!"

"It is true, that which I have revealed to you; there is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream- a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought- a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!"

Shinji's eyes bulged out and he let out a shriek.

Confused…betrayed…everyone…everything…I…don't care anymo-

And then there was a flash of light and sound as the explosion ripped through Unit 00 and into Unit 01, a wave of flame and smoke ravaging the occupants of the chamber and sending the entire base into a great quake.

Three Days Later

Tokyo 3, Japan

NERV Headquarters, NERV Infirmary

Asuka Langley Sohryu leaned against the wall next to a closed door. Inside were the shattered remains of Shinji Ikari, burnt all over his body, but shattered in mind and soul. She knew he was there, she knew he was there, with his eyes open, lifeless, a coma they called it, just the destiny of a weakling, she thought.

But, for some reason, she felt a moistness creep across her face as Naota Kiriyama slowly stalked out of the hospital room, opening the door.

He sidled by her, an odd look on his face, then noticing the supreme hostility in her eyes mixed with something he could not discern, he slowly backed away, chuckling, pulling a cigarette out of his pocket and letting it rest against his dry lips.

"What a gloomy place…"

He sat down on a small bench down the hall, well away from Asuka, lighting his cigarette as he heard a small buzzing.

Reaching down, he pulled out his small communicator, jet black with a small text screen, and gave a toothy grin as he peered at the message.

The time has come…for justice…I'm only sorry that Misato, Asuka, and Shinji will be involved…too bad really…but, it is the only way.

Meanwhile he did not notice the small camera in the corner of the hall, and he could not imagine the dark presence surveying him, a powerful man with an odd beard and gleaming eyes and a smirk hidden behind two arched hands.

Fly me to the moon,
And let me play among the stars.
Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars.
In other words, hold my hand!
In other words, darling, kiss me.

Fill my heart with song,
And let me sing forever more.
You are all I long for, all I worship and adore.
In other words, please be true!
In other words, I love you!

Fly me to the moon,

Well, that was Chapter Five…I'm trying to get a hold on FoD and stop it from destroying itself, while ending Darkness and continuing the epic that is Madness and maybe giving New Age a look…eehehhe…See you next chapter.
