File #7 – Fuyutsuki's Redemption


The organisation known as SEELE was the most powerful in the world. Established by the entity known as the G-Man and staffed by men chosen by 'employers', including Keel Lorenz, it served as his power base on planet Earth. It pulled the strings of the United Nations, GEHIRN, NERV and the research conducted at the Black Mesa Research Facility. Other known members of this puppet organisation included Dr. Wallace Breen and Gendo Ikari.

Believing the Supreme Commander's employers trusted him, Lorenz secretly turned to the Universal Union, agreeing to initiate an artificial Instrumentality which would wipe the planet off all life, ready to be remade by the Union and when humanity should 'return,' paradise would await them.

NERV was used for this grand task, with it's apprehension of the Angel known as Lilith and keeping it deep within the bowels of Terminal Dogma.


The G-Man knew all this was happening behind his back, but decided to, partly for amusement, to play along. After all, SEELE was an elaborate ploy to lure all those who seek to ally with Union so that in due time; they would be purged in order keep the G-Man's plans safe. Still, he ordered SEELE to launch the attack on Black Mesa to cover up the Resonance Cascade, much to their chagrin.

During Gordon Freeman's trip to Xen, Instrumentality went forward and all souls were merged into one 'perfect' being: The Rei/Lilith entity. When it was completed, only 4 being were lift on the planet: The pilots Shinji Ikari and Asuka Langely Sohryu; Gordon, who had returned from Xen; and the G-Man himself. Adrian Shephard was also spared from Instrumentality when he was detained somewhere off world.

Using his powers to bend time and space at his will, the G-Man sent Gordon back through him and to Tokyo-03, where it would be a few hours before Third Impact would hit. By this time, the Angel Nihilanth was dead and Black Mesa destroyed.

In this new time line, the G-Man prepared Gordon's new assignment to prevent Third Impact with military precision. Giving him his Hazard Suit and a arsenal of weaponry, and authorising NERV's next assignment with the help of his former associate who had unwisely followed Gendo down the dark road…

Kouzou Fuyutsuki, NERV's Sub-Commander. Who had regretted following Gendo and wished he could have finished him after the 16th Angel was destroyed…


As the clock situated on the wall in his office ticked, Kouzou sat at his desk going over some files. He didn't sleep much last night, not surprisingly what happened.

'He did not deserve such a horrible fate,' he thought, 'Even if he was an Angel.'

It has been a day since the Kaowra Nagisa allowed the Third Child Shinji Ikari to kill him using Evangelion Unit-01. After breaking into Terminal Dogma using Unit-02 and discovering that the Angel being held was not Adam but Lilith, the 18th Angel, he had felt his time was over. And so he allowed the only person he had ever grown close to, Shinji, to destroy him by crushing him within the palm of Unit-01's hand.

His phone then rang, which he look at briefly, before reaching for it…

"Hello? NERV."

Greetings, the other line replied, sounding familiar.

"And who am I speaking too?" Kouzou asked.

This is Dr. Wallace Breen, the other line replied, Administrator of Black Mesa Research Facility.

Kouzou's eyes widened. He was alive…

'Godd#$#,' he thought.

He had heard that the Black Mesa Research Facility had been destroyed by the United States Military. He was glad for that, seeing how the unethical research going on there would be stopped. What he didn't expect was the man himself to be alive.

The one who was the first to turn to the Union, and who had dragged him and Gendo down with him.

Am I speaking to Commander Ikari? the other line replied.

"Actually," Kouzou said, "Sub-Commander Fuyutsuki?"

Oh, Breen replied, I apologise then. I didn't know I would get your line instead of his.

"That is alright," Kouzou said, "I'll transfer you right way."

Thank you, Sub-Commander.

He wished he wouldn't, but he didn't want to arouse Gendo's suspicion. He pushed a button on his phone and the call was shifted for Gendo's office instead. The line went dead and with a sigh of relief, he put the phone back down.

'How could I have gotten myself into this?' the former professor thought, almost lamently, 'How could I betray the both of them. Her most of all.'

He then recapped what had happened to him and what led to his position here.

Kouzou had been a long time associate of the entity known only as the G-Man, alongside his closest friend Yui Ikari. The G-Man had approached the both of them at GEHIRN and offered them employment with his organisation, in the interests of humanity's future. They accepted and in return, they found out of the truth behind the Second Impact and of the Union, who seeks to control the Universe.

The G-Man provided the technology GEHIRN used to conduct their Evangelion experiments, particularly Project E, which Yui's life was dramatically taken, despite his and the G-Man's advice not to become the test subject. Afterwards, the G-Man disappeared entirely, practically abandoning GEHIRN and leaving it to be reformed as NERV, which it was said he was still the Supreme Commander.

Then the unthinkable happened. Kouzou found that his oldest friend Gendo, Yui's husband, had been enticed into the Union through a threatening letter and private communications. Wanting to discover their plans for the future, Kouzou contacted the Union using the signal Gendo used to reach them and offered his services towards them, stating that Gendo had referred him to them.

They accepted him, which he later came to regret after realising what he had done. Though he learnt more about the Union and that they are a race of bloodsucking (that is, in terms of natural resources) techno-slugs that seek to enslave all forms of life and manipulate it to it's own ends; he had betrayed both Yui and the Supreme Commander.

It was only a matter of him before he would persuade the Japanese government to send in the JSSDF to break into NERV and wipe out everyone here. He awaited death with open arms.

'I'm sorry, Yui,' he thought, rubbing his forehead.

Suddenly, his phone rang again, almost startling him. He reached for it, and cautiously put it to his ear.

"Sub-Commander Fuyutsuki," he begun, "NERV."

Mr. Fuyutsuki, the other side of the phone replied.

Kouzou's eyes widened and he felt his heart pound against his chest, hearing that sinister raspy voice.

It is good to hear your voice again, the other line replied, It has been far too long.

The Sub-Commander felt beads of sweat run down his face. It was the mysterious Supreme Commander of NERV himself.

"Si…sir!" he begun.

You can relax, Mr. Fuyutsuki, the G-Man said, I have merely come to tell you that there is hope for you after all.

Kouzou felt his heartbeat slow down back to when it was 1 second before this phone call.

No doubt you now know that Black Mesa has been destroyed, the G-Man said, The handiwork of the US Military.

"I've heard," Kouzou said.

In due time, the same will happen to the NERV branches all over the world, the G-Man said, NERV Japan will be hit the hardest.

"What?" Kouzou almost exclaimed.

I have lost control of SEELE, the G-Man said, They think I don't know they are part of the Union, alongside Dr. Breen and Commander Ikari. But I do, and I plan to have them disposed off.

"That is a relief," Kouzou said.

Before then, Mr. Fuyutsuki, the G-Man said, They will deploy the Strategic Self-Defence Force to assault NERV, alongside an infestation of creatures from the borderworld.

Kouzou's heartbeat picked up again.

"How…?" he begun, "How do they know?"

Commander Ikari made it clear to SEELE he wishes to start the Human Instrumentality Project his own way, the G-Man said, That fool does not realise he has jut signed over Tokyo-03's ultimate destruction.

"But…how can a Xenian infestation happen here?" Kouzou asked.

The line was silent for a few seconds, before the G-Man replied, It will be revealed in due time. However, as I have just said, there is hope.

"What is it?" Kouzou asked.

I trust you know Dr. Gordon Freeman? The G-Man asked.

"I do," Kouzou replied.

Kouzou had read up on all the members of the Black Mesa Science Team, especially one Gordon Freeman, whose father was part of the Katsuragi Expedition to Antarctica at the start of Earth's ever-slowing demise.

I will be sending him over soon to you soon, the G-Man said, He is the key to this world's survival and you will greet him with open arms.

"Of course," Kouzou said, "Anything you say."

The G-Man wasn't finished, And I am authorising NERV's experiment with Nililanth's S2 Organ. That fool Lorenz thinks I don't know where that piece of muscle come from. His ignorance will lead to his downfall.

He heard the G-Man smirk on the other end, I'm sure my employers will now redeem you for your defection, even though you had the best intentions. But remember…

Kouzou listened on…

Some of the worst things in the world have been done with the best intentions.

Kouzou knew that was true. He heard the other line go dead, and couldn't help but smile.

'Yui,' he thought, happy, 'Everything is starting to look up. Your son has a future after all.'


Sub-Commander Kouzou Fuyutsuki arranged for Gordon Freeman's transfer to NERV and afterwards during the NERV Incident Third Impact was halted with the destruction of the 2nd Angel Lilith.

Sadly, Fuyutsuki was killed. He had been shot by Gendo, blasted by a Race-X Shock Trooper, his corpse head-crabbed and reanimated, and finally put down for good by the team of Black Ops sent to 'sterilise' NERV and Tokyo-03.

And through that, he wore at smile towards his bitter end.


I wish more people would review this story and my other fics on I would give me a sense of extreme well being and the knowledge that people like my stories.

Feedback is welcome.
