So that finally ends my story…
April Fools!
(Dodges large amount of blunt objects)
Erm… Sorry.
Anyway, This was the first story I ever posted, and I was amazed at the number of reviews I received. I want to thank each and every one of you. Without your support, I probably wouldn't have finished the next chapter until 2007, if ever. As it is, I couldn't bring myself to disappoint you, so here's the next chapter.
But first…
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Justin Blaze; Thanks. It was just one of those odd ideas that came into my head out of nowhere, but I'm glad you like it. I've updated the Summary too; I hope this one's better then the original.
Ahven; Well, I can't speak for everyone, but I agree that WH40k and Evangelion do tend to compliment each other well, especially if their well written.
Macross VF1; Thanks for the complement, and I'll defiantly see this through to the end. I hope the story'll work out, but you can never tell.
Elijah Snow; THANKS! It's great to have your support. Just out of curiosity, what other WH40k-Evangelion stories are there? The only other one I've found is 'And They Shall Know No Fear'.
Marine Brother Shran; Thank you, and I'm not planning on doing a romance, I don't think my skills are good enough to do it properly, and I would hate to spoil the story. Thanks for the offer with the marines, but I'm more worried about the Evangelion side rather then the WH40k side of the story. If I do have a problem, I'll drop you a note.
Reikson; Sorry I didn't update earlier. As for your ideas, I think they're brilliant, but during the Heresy, I don't think the Imperium would have the resources or time to make such things. If I make a sequel, I may use some of those ideas then. For now though, the pilots will just have to make do with make-shifts.
Enedorii; I hope you like this next installment.
Cronomantic; Here's the next update, enjoy!
Liljimmyurine; Yes, I know my spelling and grammar isn't perfect. I pretty much scribbled the story down as I thought of it and posted it almost immediately. However, as soon as the stories done, I'll go back and remove all grammatical and spelling errors. Promise! (Uncrosses fingers)
HolyKnight5; Okay, okay I'll update! As for future story… Well, you'll know soon enough.
Ciupacapra; Thanks a lot. And here's the next update. Enjoy!

Before you continue, chapter three doesn't have much action, so first, here's a sneak preview of a future chapter…
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Princeps Gratone ignored the faint tremors as the legs of his Titan, Caedes, smashed through the gap in the walls and into the Imperial gardens. There was a fint pinprick as a shell rebounded from his left leg. Gratone casually brought one of Caedes's Turbolaser batteries to bare on the upstart Leman Russ and vaporized it.
Increasing power to his sensor cones, Gratone happily watched the Chaos forces expanding out of the breach. Then he spotted a… red Titan. It was oddly humanoid, with arms instead of weapons, and the number '02' could be seen on it's carapace. It was casually strafing a army of fellow rebels with a gatteling cannon cradled in it's arms. Gratone murmured a prayer to Khorne as he brought his Titan-scaled Multi-las on his left limb to bare. Unlike many of his cohorts, Gratone believed in the cold-blooded warfare of mass murder facet of Khorne rather then the heat of bloodlust in close combat (mostly due to the fact that most Titans don't have blood).
Even as the first shot blasted out, the red 02 spun unnaturally quickly and, raising a hand, imposed a hexagonal, orange force field between the two war machines. The first shot hit the field harmlessly. The second, third and fourth shots also impacted on the strange shield, each causing the area of impact to fade slightly. The fifth shot blasted a gap in the shield and, having wasted most of it's energy, blew a shallow crater in the 02's armor. The sixth and final shot, unblocked, slammed into and through the armor.
Gratone stared as blood spurted from the wound, and a switch flicked in his head and the heady scent reached Caedes's sensors. He shouted, a battle cry that was echoed by his crew as all logic and reason was washed away in bloodlust and Caedes charged forward, it's chain fist roaring into life.
"BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Asuka screeched in shock as the blast tore through her, no, she desperately thought, Unit-02's chest. Looking up, she spotted the enemy Titan, the name Caedes barely visible on it's upper carapace. Desperately, she dropped and reformed her A.T. field.
She was almost too late.
The broken A.T. field, barely a few molecules thick, vanished, and reformed whole again. It reformed at the exact moment that Caedes passed it. The rear half of the massive Titan came to a dead halt, as the A.T. field passed through shields, armor and people… and neatly bisected Caedes down the middle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gratone shrieked in agony as Caedes's momentum crushed it's rear half against the A.T. field and sent it's front half towards the ground. Neither half completed this action, as both halves of the ruined Genarium detonated, flinging the Titan's head towards the ground. As it plummeted, Gratone felt Khorne's wrath descend on him. The last thing he felt, was a massive creature ripping his soul from his body. Then he felt no more.

I hope you enjoy this chapter. If anybody spots any errors, let me know. Constructive criticism is always welcome and any flames will be used for Land Raider fuel.
