Digital Redemption: I am Evamon

A/N: What is Evamon…if not an Evangelion given a digital life of its own?

As Evangelion Unit-01 fell deep into the darkness of the Twelfth Angel's shadow-like body, the back of the Eva opened up to release its Entry Plug.

Something bright appeared above the plug, and a large, metallic claw made of curved blades reached out and grabbed it.

A portion of the armor around Unit-01's right arm atomized and reformed into a small, humanoid construct made in a similar way to the purple Eva, but smaller than a human teen and more organic in its appearance. It looked up at the captured plug and flew towards it.

"I won't let you hurt him," it uttered in a female voice.

"Who do you think you are?" A disembodied voice asked her, just as the plug, the claw and herself disappeared into the brightness.

"I am Evamon, a Digimon born of the hopes of salvation."

Several large claws made of blades had tried to break open the Entry Plug, but the dense metal that made it was too tough to pierce. Connected to those claws was a large, dodecahedron, controlled by some strange humanoid without legs.

"I will destroy you before can destroy me," it said, its voice sounding like a multilated man's. "You have no idea of the power that hides within you."

"You'll have to go through me first," he looked up and saw the Digimon that didn't belong to any group or classification of Digimon that existed before or existed now.

"What is he to you? He doesn't even know you exist."

"What is he to me? He's a boy with a future that could be everyone's future, but he must be kept safe."

"He won't be my future. A pitiable creature without meaningful bonds has no will to survive."

"So long as I am around, he will have meaningful bonds, and, if necessary, they won't include the people that betrayed him."

To be continued…

A/N: This chapter serves as a type of prequel to the story. It doesn't say what Evamon is, but she describes herself as being the embodiment of salvation. What do you think Evamon is?
