Almost updated this yesterday. Missed out do to me falling asleep. So no three days of updating.

Thank you Scattershot98, and Guest for your feedback, thoughts, and questions. I also like to thank the readers along with those that favorited and/or followed the story.

The soulless body of Lucifer continued on regardless of what got in its way. Already the powerful Antarctic currents now brought on by the effect of the Impact tried to cage it around the ruined continent. Yet, the soulless shell did not care in the least and pushed on regardless. The body could sense it's soul and wanted to become whole and nothing was going to deny it this.

As it moved through the water it stopped noticing that there was something within the waves. It looked like something humanoid developing within a crystal-like structure. 'Seed of Life based Life form.'

Obviously one of Adams that was close to being hatched. If Lucifer body had its soul it wouldn't hesitate to end it's life before it became fully developed and terrorized Lilith's world. Even without its soul the body still felt an echo of these emotions. Killing it would be logical as to stop a future threat to what remains. However, the pros of Lucifer being whole would render this a non-issue anyway.

With that, the body made a mental note of the creature and continued on. When it reunited with its soul the information would be parted into it and Lucifer could extract the still-developing creature without issue.

Kaworu looked at the three Evangelion Units before him and Mari. A part of him was kind of horrified by their existence. He was Adam, the thing that they used to make them, and it was like watching someone rip your hand off and then turn it into a weapon to attack you. 'Does this count as defiling the dead?'

He turned his head over to Mari who seemed excited for tomorrow. She was going to pilot Eva-04 after they put in a new power source that would allow the Evangelion to operate without needing an umbilical cord. "So, you never told me what's with the look?" He turned over as Mari was in his face. "I mean your hair is it dyed and are those contacts or are they natural?"

"They are natural." He didn't want to add the reason for it due to him being Adam reborn. The whole bit of him being the thing that caused Second Impact would quickly get him attacked by any reasonable human being in the modern age. 'I wonder why did my past incarnation even do that?'

He knew that they did start colonizing the world but Kaworu wondered why they ended up on earth. From what little he remembered of Adam's life he knew that four billion years ago the earth wasn't apart of the planned expansion zone. The fact, both him and Lilith landed on the same world meant that they had gotten blown off course. As blown off course as one can in space.

Mari looked at him for a moment. She was looking to see if he was bluffing. "You're serious?"

The two of them heard a few of the staff talking as they passed by. "Hey, did you heard the new power system was just flown in from Tokyo-3 something about it being made after researching the newest Angel."

That caught Kaworu's attention. He was almost certain that it wasn't from some sort of research. They had managed to harvest something from an Angel. 'Did they manage to get there hands on an S2 organ?'

The Evangelion Units were not able to develop them. Kaworu actually had one within him. The organ meant that he didn't need to drink or eat. That, of course, was something SEELE loved to remind him. Even though he loved the action anyway. Still, while the benefits of an Evangelion having one would be worth the chance there were several risks that were involved. 'That might be a problem.'

"I'm going to go ask about when they can get me fitted for my plugsuit," He gave an excuse and raced the other way.

Half an hour later Kaworu came across the cold storage room. Sneaking into it was going to be just a bit of a hassle. He pulled out his U.N. ID card and hoped that the clearance he had hacked into the system buys it. With a swipe, he waited to see what would happen. The doors opened up as Kaworu walked in. He saw the core that they had within the cold storage held under the blood of the Angel it came from. 'It looks like it's slightly damaged.'

The core could be fixed but the S2 organ wasn't properly healed. As soon as the thing was active within Eva-04 the energy within it would expand and rip open a hole within reality, or a Dirac Sea as it was better known. If it didn't kill Mari immediately then being stuck in a pocket dimension with no way out would. 'Unless I fix the damage.'

Placing his hands into the fluid he called on his powers. The powers that he had thanks to Adam's soul being within him. His A.T. field touched the S2 organ and simulated its healing process. Slowly the damaged organ regrow and knitted its damage. With his actions done Kaworu removed his hands from the fluid as his A.T. field cleaned the fluid off.

Mari felt the LCL fluid flood the entry plug as she had a smile. The new power source had been put into Unit-04 and everything was ready for the test of the new power source. Eva-04 synchronization rate began as Eva-04 was brought out into the dried lake bed that would be where they would test it out.

Looking outside as the Evangelion Unit was standing out at the ready. Kaworu stood with the onlookers as the umbilical cord was removed. The operations director speak into his headset from the control room. "Alright, Mari begin activation of the new power core!"

"Finally, I can't wait to see what this can do," With a change the systems within the Evangelion sent a signal through its form as Mari activated the S2 organ. Nothing seemed to happen for a few moments before the sensors within it began to pick up a power spike within the Evangelion.

Everything seemed to be in order. The operations director had a smile at this. "Congrats Mari you're the pilot of the first autonomous Evangelion," The computers began to flash error. "What's going on?"

Kaworu looked up as the Unit-04 let out a roar of pain as the S2 organ within it turned to life. The plates hiding its mouth gave way as the Evangelion Unit began to generate a rather strong A.T. field. Kaworu for his part shot out his own as he tried to calm down the soul within it. To his shock, he wasn't feeling any other soul but Mari's. 'Unit-04 is soulless?!'

The Unit then, to everyone watching surprise, ripped off parts of the plates on it as it floated into the air. A white halo forming over its head as it rose into the air. Within her entry plug, Mari began to scream as the LCL fluid within her boiled with a pulse of energy. The Evangelion organic parts began to rip into the specially designed made cybernetic control pieces. A means to allow it to be piloted without a soul. Before finally punching its way into the entry plug. "What's happening…" Mari let out a painful scream as the organic tendrils drilled into her flesh. Her veins bloated under her skin as the tendrils drilled their way into her organs, bones, and finally her brain. "AGHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

As she screamed Unit-04 did as well its organic flesh beginning to turn white as wings of light shot out from its back and the ground around it started to rip apart. The computers in the facility blow up one by one as the effect of the A.T. field tore into them. "What's going on!?" One of the technicals was blown back as the computer exploded right in their face.

The Captain turned to everyone looking on from the lake bed. Dust began to expand outwards as the Wings of light from Eva-04 continued to extend. "Everyone evacuate immediately!"

Kaworu looked on as his eyes widened at the sheer insanity of this. They had managed to turn Unit-04 into an Angel. A pseudo-clone of Adam and Mari's soul was being used to complete the transformation. He fell to his knees as he felt her soul scream in pain as it was being forcefully remade by the now born Angel. Kaworu gripped his head as he forced his A.T. fields out clashing with Unit-04's. Out his back, a miniature version of Adams own Wings of Light shot out as he forced his way through the A.T. Field of Unit-04. "Let," The still being born Angel tried to stop this invasion as it pushed back with all its might. "My friend," He finally forced his way into the Unit and into the tortured soul and made contact with her broken spirit. "GO!"

The Entry Plug finally ejected itself from the being ripping out a small part of the Near-Angel with it. Unit-04 let out an ear-splitting roar of pain before it was swallowed up by the force of reality ripping apart around itself and disappearing into the Dirac Sea. Kaworu landed on his nears gasping for breath as he sweated profusely. His whole body was in pain at what he had just managed to accomplish.

There wasn't much in the way of time to rest. He got up and ran to the broken entry plug. The organic parts of the Near-Angel breaking apart as he got to it. He gripped the hatch as electricity shot through his body as he grunted in pain. Finally, he got the hatch opened and was greeted with the sight of the white organic flesh within pulsing. After a few seconds, it split open and broke apart leaving Mari.

As the sun broke through Kaworu caught three things. First, she was naked, second her hair was now the same as his and as she opened her eyes weakly they had become a bright purple. None of that was as surprising as the feeling of an A.T field moving past him for a brief moment.

Gendo sat at his desk as the call came in from NERV's US branch. Unit-04 had been lost thanks to its new power source, the S2 organ they had recovered, causing a sudden change within the Eva before it disappeared. The pilot was recovered though it seemed the result of whatever had happened was not yet revealed to him. "And now your facility is in ruins?"

On the other side, the Commander of the American branches of NERV didn't speak to the Head of NERV. He wasn't wrong as much of the facility was destroyed by the near-Angel attempting to awaken. The repairs would take months but he knew that didn't matter to Gendo. "Yes, but we can rebuild."

"I know but what about your Evangelion Units and your pilot?" Gendo knew he finally had the means to justify holding on to another two Evangelions. After all, it was now time he got the other two before they are destroyed or sabotaged by SEELE. "Perhaps it's best that you place the Units with us for storage while your pilot comes as well for training with our own."

It was a thinly veiled demand for their Units and their pilots. Even if he wasn't told of the fifth child the Commander knew eventually Gendo will demand him. "Fine, I'll see how long it will take to give you what you want."

A smile formed at this. No fighting back at his request. 'Finally, for once no one challenging my authority in this organization.' Gendo was really pissed with how often that happened. He was Supreme Commander, the Head of NERV, and their boss. They shouldn't be trying to question him or fight him whenever he wanted something from them. "Keep me posted on any developments."

Gendo hanged up as he looked over the turn of events. It seemed that merely transplanting an S2 organ into the Evangelions was too much of a risk. At least with Units without a soul. Nearly a whole decade of study had finally accomplished a system were an Evangelion didn't need a soul to properly function. Although it did lose much in the way of performance when compared to one with it, above all being a weaker A.T. field as the ones that the artificial cores they made for the Eva only generated part of it, it was a boon as far as SEELE was concerned.

'I wonder why they demanded that research be put into developing them?' Gendo was suspicious when their Project Covenant, as they had called it, was announced to him. The goal of finding a way to create Evangelions that, according to Kohl's and Ritsuko recounts when reading, wouldn't need souls to function properly. 'Four Evangelions were planned Units 03, 04, 05, and finally 06.'

Three of them were completed with one now being lost. Gendo now had two of the Units within his grasp. Call him paranoid but he just knew that the Project Covenant was a test for SEELE. Building on the Project that made the first Evangelions for a purpose he didn't know as of yet.

Keel was pleased with the results. Sure, Unit-04 had almost turned into a pseudo-Adam, nearly absorbed it's pilot and was lost to a pocket dimension. Yet, in the end, they got what they needed. The data from the S2 organ. The missing piece of the Angels that they couldn't replicate. 'Until now.'

With this and the information from Project Covenant, everything was set for Project Revelation. Nothing could stand in the way of their plan. Keel looked at the latest feed from the mysterious visitor. A frown formed on his face as they had managed to pick up a transmission from it. They couldn't translate it but it seemed that whatever it was it wasn't of the earth. 'It is of no consequence.'

He got up and looked at the designs for Unit-06. The one Evangelion that had been built with travel to space in mind. It was meant to serve as a means for just in case of this circumstance. Its creation was meant on the off chance that the first expeditions recordings on another creature landing from space to fight Adam were true. "Sir," Keel looked up and one if the base workers came walking in. "Your flight back to earth is ready."

And here he had started to like watching the world from the moon. All good things had to come to an end it seems. "Thank you for informing me."

The worker walked out with a nod as Keel got up from his desk. On the wall, he looked at the recreation of the famous renaissance art of God blessing man. How weird was it that the man with a desire to become God would have such a piece recreated for his desires. As he walked out Keel began to think about Gendo's son.

The Third Child and Pilot of Eva-01. The Evangelion Unit that was made from Lilith instead of Adam. If anything happened it was a backup for their plans. 'Perhaps I should give the child a reward?' Keel was aware of how badly a relationship they had with their father. Perhaps if Gendo turned out to be unhelpful then his son could be used as a means to end him. 'He is the grandson of one of my associates.'

A smirk formed on his face at this. Having a pilot in the corner, and one who held such a close connection to Gendo would be just the kind of spy that they needed.

A blurry white medical ceiling greeted Mari as she opened her eyes. The girl pulled herself back up as she looked for her glasses. Said glasses were handed to her. "Here, I guess you still need these."

She put her glasses on as she saw Kaworu sitting to the side of her bed. "Thanks," Mari looked outside the window as she saw the ground tore apart. A few of the building showed signs of damage. "What happened?"

"That is going to take a lot of explaining," Mari turned to him as Kaworu looked at her. This was rather awkward for him actually. Especially given what Unit-04 had kind of done to her. "So, the first thing the Evangelion Units are not true robots they are actually organic beings covered and made to look like them."

Mari wasn't really all that surprised. She had figured that there was something about them that didn't fit with being a robot. Especially, seeing how they were stored in LCL an organic fluid that was breathable. "I suspected as much," Mari shuttered for a moment as she saw fading scars from were the Evangelion flesh pierced her own. "Is there any reason it went like that?"

Kaworu had several theories actually. "Well, you see each Evangelion is made using the flesh of Adam, the thing that caused Second Impact, and as such, you can say it is a sort of Angel itself."

"... I was basically selected to pilot a brain dead Angel that NERV grew using the thing that caused the world to end up as it did?" When Mari said it out loud it sounded a lot like NERV was trying to fight fire with fire. Although this did make her suspicious on how he knew about this. "So, the power source they put in what was it?"

"An S2 organ that they salvaged from an Angel, it must have caused the Eva to awaken and begin a transformation into an Angel although it was lacking one thing," He looked at her arms seeing the scars. There was another pair on the sides of her neck. Places were the pseudo-Adam tried to consume her body and assimilate her soul. "A soul."

Mari looked at the scars as she placed her hands on them. She had blocked it out but she knew that it was trying to take her. Her soul was what it wanted. 'I was almost consumed by what was effectively a clone of Adam.' She looked at him with an inquisitive expression. "How do you know all of this?"

Kaworu looked away from her as he had a light sigh. He knew that once he told her Mari might try to kill him. Hell, he won't hold it against her to do so. "Because I am actually an Angel, a Nephilim actually, of Adam own flesh," That was only part of it and he knew it. "I'm also the vessel for his salvaged soul," He looked at her as he saw her expression become one of shock. "My Angelic name is Tabris."

Silence fell over them as Mari looked at her friend. Were they even friends? He did come all this way to see her. 'I mean it could have been to kill me so I wouldn't be around to fight his brethren.' If that was the case then she would have been killed by him already. "Why did you come here then?"

"Because the guys who planned for Second Impact to happen were not watching me like they said they were," Kaworu answered as Mari wondered what he was talking about. "Second Impact was not an accident in fact if the expedition hadn't happened Adam would have never awakened, " Kaworu chose to leave out the part about the other Seed of Knowledge showing up for now. Telling Mari about the origins of Adam, Lilith, the Angels, and humanity right now would take to long. "It was done because the committee that oversees NERV are the people who knew about Adam and wanted to cause Second Impact to further their own plans for the Lilin."

Surprisingly enough Mari actually believed him. It would explain quite a bit about the secrecy of the truth of Second Impact, why it was the former continent of ice that Adam showed up on, and why NERV seemed to have cloned Angels to fight Angels. The conspiracy theorists were right after all. "So, you came to see me because I was your only friend?" She paused as she felt like she remembered something. "You… saved me from that thing didn't you?"

"Depends on what you call saving," Kaworu handed her a mirror as Mari took a look at the changes in her hair and eye color. "Your body was partly consumed by it when I managed to get it to let you go with the flesh of Adam assimilating itself into your form."

Mari touched herself as she understood what he was telling her. She was now like him. No longer was she actually human but an Angel. "If that the case does this mean that I am now your sister?"

Technically she did assimilate the flesh and genetic material of Adam into her. While she wasn't born of it did assimilate itself into her being perfectly enough. "If you want to see it like that."

Asuka looked at her nightgown with a degree of annoyance. The redhead had never really worn it and already she was disliking it. She preferred sleeping in the nude and yet she couldn't do so. 'Because I have to share my bed with my sister.'

She had gotten around this by taking Shinji's room for a night but Misato put a stop to that. Truth be told she didn't even want to but having to put this on just didn't feel like her. She'll probably get used to it. Walking out of the bathroom and into the shared room of the two of them she saw Rei having already taken to the bed. Slipping in Asuka closed her eyes and let herself fell asleep.

Asuka blinked as she found herself standing on the LCL covered floor of her special dream. In front of her wasn't Rei but the crucified giant. Asuka walked up as she knew who it was. "Lilith."

Lilith's head moved to her. The progenitor didn't speak to her as Asuka stared at her, at a part of herself. Asuka looked forward as she saw a woman standing in front of her. The lady looked almost like an older mix of her and Rei. This woman had hair that was red like hers but with highlights that were of Rei's. Her eyes had black sclera red iris. From her back was several wings that were white and opaque. Shaped somewhat like that of a Succubi.

Asuka looked at her and then back up noticing that Lilith was missing. Asuka looked back the lady was standing in front of her. "Who are you?"

The lady spoke with a voice that sounded like a harmonized version of her and Rei's. "You know who I am," She placed her hand on Asuka's chest. "I am apart of you as you are of me."

A whisper escaped her mouth as she realized who this was. "Lilith."

"Your sister needs your help ask her about the Human Instrumentality Project," Asuka looked at Lilith wondering what she was getting at. Lilith raised her hand up to stop her. "Whatever you do don't confront Gendo about it when she tells you, try to get Rei to abandon it on her own, and if possible help Lucy to her body."

Asuka looked at her with confusion before her eyes opened up as she found herself awake. Before she could even think about her dream there was something else that caught her attention. She was naked and Rei was cuddling up to her. 'Wait a minute Rei isn't wearing any clothes.'

A blush formed on her face as she soon realized that besides that she was also wrapped herself around her. Her heart started to beat rather quickly as she realized the implications that someone would have if they walked in. 'I should remove my arms off and put my clothes back on.'

Despite knowing what she should do Asuka found herself not even moving one inch to even do them. Instead, she just laid there looking at her sister slept. Slowly Asuka leaned in closer and closer. 'This feels so wrong,' Her mouth was hovering just in front of Rei's. 'Yet, it also feels so right.'

Asuka planted her lips onto Rei's own for a brief moment. The redhead pulled back as she felt extremely dirty with herself. Not only did she just kissed her sister but she had enjoyed it. 'I am such a horrible person.'

Asuka tried to move out of her grasp but it seemed that it was pointless. Rei wanted to her to cuddle with and whenever she did the girl used her surprising strength to keep her close. Eventually, she just gave up and found herself drifting off to sleep.

Yeah this chapter was more of one focusing on other people. Also, yeah now Asuka on the path to knowing the truth of what had happened to her sister. Also, I thought of expanding of the development of the Evangelions. If I recalled Eva-01 Eva-02 and Eva-00 (possibly I forget if it was stated) are what could be termed first generation Evas. 03, 04, 05 (and later 06) are second generation with some of the problems worked out. Even if it does come with a draw back but for SEELE it was an experiment that has proven useful.

Cya all later. Happy holidays, and a Merry Christmas.
