Well, hope you've been enjoying this fanfic so far…Because it's been a pain in the ass to write…ehehhee…
It's a bit more annoying to write for this particular fanfic compared to my others, and I'm still deciding where exactly to take it, which might show a little, but it's still all good, and it'll steer towards its cool, inevitable, fitting ending eventually.
Well, let's start the show.
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 34
Vile Memories
She stared at him, her hand shaking as she lifted the pistol towards his direction, tears streaming down her face as she clutched the metal firearm in her hand like something to lean on, something to build her sanity on when it crumbled from doing this deed.
Kaji smiled at her sadly, still charming, still tragic, nodding.
"Hey…it's you…you're late. You were always late…"
Misato shook, trying to ignore his voice, trying to ignore the fact that her body was being ripped apart from the inside. She would have to choose between the man she loved, who reminded her of the father she hated, or revenge for the father who saved her from death but who she hated. If Ritsuko had been there she would've been surprised by the sheer illogicality of it all.
She clenched her fist and pulled the trigger, interrupting what Kaji had been saying, which she hadn't been paying attention to, too deep in mental introspective.
"The truth, my dear, is that I lov-"
Kaji's eyes bulged out at the sound of the shot as the hit connected with his chest, sending him flying backwards. His pale face seemed surprise for once, as if he hadn't expected it to come so soon, or at least to interrupt him before his smug, charming last words.
Misato Katsuragi fell to her knees and then on her face, as if some unseen sniper had gunned down both of them.
She couldn't scream, she couldn't cry, she couldn't look at him. She only lied down there and shook.
Tokyo 3, Japan
Misato Katsuragi's Apartment
Misato almost trembled as Kaji's smooth voice broke her out of her introspection, making her turn away from his face and follow Asuka out the door.
I wonder…if he still loves me…
Tokyo 3, Japan
NERV Headquarters, Control Room
Misato Katsuragi rushed into the control room, Asuka Langley Sohryu alongside her as she spoke quickly to Makoto.
"Good morning, this is just in from Tokyo-2: A801 has taken off."
"A801!"
"Yes, you know it, the Special Order A-801; means the abolishment of the special legal protection towards the intelligence organization NERV, and the transfer of its command to the government of Japan. Their special forces have gotten the order and taken off. The mission is to capture this place, to take the headquarters over!"
"Anything else?"
"That was their last communication. And yes, the MAGI are being hacked. So far, it's been controlled."
"Controlled?"
Maya nodded, peering thoughtfully at her console.
"Dr. Akagi just went to the MAGI computer room."
"Ritsuko?"
They stared at the tub full of nude, swimming Reis, more like floating Reis, floating there in the odd liquid, and Shinji gasped in shock, blushing despite the horrific situation.
"What…What is this!"
"These are the dummies. You know them, Shinji, they killed your friend Touji. And they're nothing but spare parts for Rei, spare Reis! Human found a god and thus, attempted to obtain it and keep it for themselves. As a result, humanity was punished. That was fifteen years ago! They god that they found…vanished. However they tried to revive the god themselves, through Adam. It was through Adam that the human was made, to be close to god. This is the Evangelion."
"Human? Are these…human!"
"Yes, that's a human. Eva, which did not have a soul initially, now that thing has a human soul. All of these are salvaged. However the vessel which truly contains a soul is Rei. Only she has a soul. None of the other vessels have souls. The room of Gaff is empty! These things in the shape of Rei here have no soul, they're nothing but empty shells, nothing but hollow vessels. So I will destroy them, because I must, because I despise them all!"
Misato's eyes widened as dozens of Rei's began giggling and screaming, letting out odd noises as their bodies began to dissolve and rip apart, and then noticed Shinji with wide eyes, clutching his head.
"Do you realize what you're doing!"
"Yes...I know…I'm destroying them. These are not human, lifeless things in human form. I lost against that bitch and these lifeless things, I can't take it anymore! When he is in my mind, I can bear any insult. I don't care about my own body. But he, he did...I knew that. I am stupid; I am as stupid as my mother. So foolish. You can kill me, if you wish. I'd be glad if you did."
Misato sighed and turned away, suddenly feeling sick and disgusted with herself and all around her.
I can't believe she came back…that she's still around.
Neon Genesis Evangelion: Episode 34
The Troubles of Mortal Men
Tokyo 3, Japan
Unknown Location
Kaji swiftly ducked around the corner, avoiding the black sedan as it drove past his alley, apparently not noticing him, and made a right turn.
He pulled out a cigarette and let it sit limply against his dried lips, lighting it slowly and methodically
Heh…thank God Section II doesn't have the manpower or time to track me down efficiently, thanks to the invasion and all that jazz.
He slowly peered around the alley and then finally dropped the briefcase he had been carrying to the ground, his hands nimbly running over it and then opening the latches.
Inside, within soft fabric was what seemed to be a small, silver submachine gun and a dark green grenade. He stared at the items for a moment with disinterested eyes and then pulled the small silenced pistol he always carried with him out of his jacket, checking to see if it was loaded.
Their security will be low when the invasion hits…or at least focused on the spots where the JSDDF soldiers are invading…I can sneak in and do it…I'm not doing this…I'm…not doing this for them…they may have resurrected me, in those odd terms, but I'm doing it for her…for Misato, for Asuka, for Shinji…they're ignorant of the truth…So I must do it, for them.
He took a long puff from his cigarette and then slipped the pistol back into his jacket, quickly closing the briefcase and lifting it as well.
"It's heavy…because it's full of such…revenge…such…hope and misery."
Kaji grinned grimly and spoke, the smoke from his cigarette wafting to the gray ceiling above
"You know what, Shinji? I found out I was afraid of dying. There's never been a moment when I was more afraid, not in all my life."
Shinji stared at Kaji, stricken with terror.
"Did…Did you tell them?"
Kaji looked down, the shadows absorbing his handsome face, his eyes drooping as if to answer in affirmative.
"What…What happened?"
"They left after they found out…they were going to kill me anyway, but I managed to get past the guard and sprinted towards where my friends were, to warn them…When…When I got back to our building...I saw soldiers burning rubber, looking like they were making a getaway. All of them…All of them…"
Kaji looked Shinji in the face as Shinji's eyes widened even more.
"I lived to tell this story…by taking the lives of my friends…and my brother. So yeah, it was simple. I had traded them for me."
Kaji smiled as he walked out of the alley, realizing his fate, the smoke from his lit cigarette swaying in the air.
"Soon the trade'll be fair and equal, boys…"
Japan
Unknown Location
An old man with a white lab coat emblazoned with the logo of the JSDDF smiled at Naota Kiriyama, who ignored his boasting elderly voice.
"Pilot Kiriyama! I present to you the final unit in the last series of the Evangelion! Evangelion Unit 14!"
He followed the old scientist's flourishing arms, peering at the looming, monstrous Evangelion in front of him.
It was very similar to the other units he had viewed that day
Their physical build were different from the previous Evas he had seen, being narrower in the chest and shoulders and wider in the hips, but the greatest difference was in their heads. Rather than humanoid, their heads seemed streamlined and vaguely cetacean in appearance, and apparently covered by the same reinforced plastic that coated the arms. They also had odd long jaws that were bolted together, with thick red lips.
The scientist rubbed his hands together, smirking.
"Each of the new Evangelion series carries an S2 Organ, as directed by the committee…This should theoretically provide even your Evangelion Unit 14 with no operational time limit and complete mobility along with the power of physical regeneration."
Naota Kiriyama peered at the Evangelion Unit 04.
The only real difference between it and the other units was that it was completely and utterly black, a great contrast to the pale ebony units that were alongside it, and that it was a bit larger, apparently to accommodate a real pilot opposed to a dummy plug.
Naota had been through the tests hundreds of times, piloting, agility, aiming, all of the test runs, everything. He had also been taught to control the remote system that would bond the other mass-produced Evangelion to his unit, so that he could control them like a field commander of sorts and send them…like harpies…down on the headquarters.
Down on Asuka…But she's dead already…I did what I had to do…dammit…She and the others were just meaningless pawns to NERV…and I have no choice but to aid in their destruction and the destruction of NERV, they are a vile organization, whose only goal is to cause Third Impact. I know you can hear me somewhere out there…sister…I will not allow the committee to hurt you, I will work for them and work for the truth at the same time…I should not have been so reluctant…it is my fault.
He suddenly spun around in shock as a recorded female voice echoed in the huge JSSDF laboratory base, causing him to tremble, if only for a moment.
"Prepare all units for immediate launch. The time for Operation Overlord has come. Prepare for battle stations and invasion gear."
Tokyo 3, Japan
NERV Headquarters, Unknown Location
A young boy with black hair and sharp blue eyes sat against the wall, his head slumped over, his knees pulled in, not speaking, his eyes closed, shut off from the word.
Shinji Ikari sighed as he stared up lifelessly, cowering beneath the stairwell, his body slumped over almost lifelessly.
I don't care…anymore.
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!
