Chapter 9: The Escape

Undisclosed location, New NERV HQ

"The time had once more returned to reenact that of the Dead Sea Scrolls," Gendo stated to the Council of SEELE, a seemingly emotionless farewell to the eyes of Earth. It seemed almost ironic in the sense that he and Fuyutsuki were the ones who helped SEELE start this sick evolution project, and now they would be the ones to pull the plug. Literally. "And now we say farewell."

Fuyutsuki silently listened as he began shutting off the connection from NERV to SEELE's monoliths one by one, first disabling SEELE 04 as Gendo continued. "Though you may have alternated and transferred your souls, you can only be able to cheat death as you have been gifted with the fruit of knowledge."

Off went SEELE 06, the rest simply listening in silence as they awaited their inevitable deaths. And yet they so happily accepted it, for they knew their mark on the world would spark a new life which would give the human race a chance to go one forever more. "You may very well be able to remain immortal for eternity, but like as I said before, you like the rest of us cannot evade death when it comes for you."

SEELE 03 went silent as it shut off. "You have assisted us in our evolution since the beginning of mankind's birth, and with your burden of immortality gave us the sophistication of civilization." Gendo continued as Fuyutsuki disabled SEELE 05.

"On behalf of all of mankind and those yet to come, I am deeply grateful for your sacrifice to us." SEELE 06 shut off, leaving only SEELE 02 and 01 remaining. He knew they both in a sense feared what Gendo was planning, but he would assure that their scenario would not alter even in the slightest.

"With your falling into death hand, we honor your deaths with their reunion to their rightful placing." SEELE 02 did not speak, thought Gendo knew he glared behind his monolith as it went silent, leaving only Keel and Gendo alone.

"I assure you, Lorenzo Keel that the Human Instrumentality Project and deed you've long sought co come to fruition shall be carried out." Gendo finished, looking to SEELE 01 as he spoke. "Please sleep with everlasting peace."

"Our wish for mankind has all but already come and gone to pass, Ikari." SEELE 01 explained. "And behold the world of tomorrow has been reborn anew. May the instrumentality of humanity and purification of all Lilin souls come with peace. Yes, all is now right with the world."

And like those before him, SEELE 01 fell silent, its monolith like the Council now nothing more but stones with simple markings on them. "Fuyutsuki, come. We haven't much more let do accomplish." Gendo stated, turning to make his leave with his colleague behind giving one last glare to SEELE.


Lilith's Chamber, Old Geo-Front

Evangelion Mark.06, or rather yet Leliel the 12th Angel of Adam, gave a growl as its shadow began alternating and shifting to form a large sphere larger than that of the previous Second Angel. All EVA pilots, aside from Kaworu, watched in horror as the shadow lifted to form an actual sphere just above Unit-13, comprised of sharp and small metal linings that enclosed the Mark.06.

"W-What the hell's going on?!" Asuka finally yelled with question.

"I'm thinking the Angel has grown some sort of mind of its own now that Lilith's death." Mari suggested, watching from above as the mark.06 was released from Leliel's captivity, monotonous and lifeless as it was lowered steadily to the bloodied ground. In an instant Leliel descended, with Unit-13 now enveloped by its form. Unit-02 quickly rushed forward, barrel whirling with Asuka growling. "Princess, don't bother, we don't even know what might come out!"

"Dammnit, Four-Eyes what other choice do we have?!" Asuka snapped back, raising her mini gun as it revved to life and firing with a battle cry. Leliel gave a shriek as its metal dispersed to form a gigantic Angel Core. "Damn, your right it's no use."

"I tried to tell you." Mari replied sheepishly, looking away from her scope. "Besides, I don't think Gendo planned this part out anyhow."

The Mark.09 watched as well not far as the Core began mutating, as is forming some sort of face or object. "Is that…" Rei Q watched with fear as the Core for a brief moment formed her own face with a twisted smile and evil giggle, making her shiver with fear. "Me? What… What am I?"

Inside Unit-13, Shinji continuously pulled at the controls of their Evangelion. Nothing was working, it was as it the connection with Unit-13 and the Angel caused some sort of energy discharge. "What the hell?! Why… Won't….. You…. Move?!" Shinji grunted, pulling at the controls with dreaded fear. "It's not responding, what's wrong with it?!"

Outside Unit-13's shoulder pylons burst apart, now seemingly replaced with dark marron stone like replacements that slowly built up. "Kaworu?" Shinji finally turned to his friend, fearful of what was happening. Everything was falling apart, and like a fool he didn't bother to question Kaworu if what he was doing really was right or wrong. "What's the hell's wrong with you?! Your acting like you just watched someone die!"

Kaworu didn't respond, how could he? Everything he'd hoped to give Shinji was now falling apart because of this unknown move played by the bastard Ikari. "How could I have been so blind? To think that I, the soul of the First Angel Adam so easily beaten by the Leliel the Twelfth," He murmured with sadness, looking up with lost hope. "I'm such a letdown…."

"What? Your another Angel?! Wha.. How, what did my father do?!"

"It should have been so clear to me that the beginning and end are all but the same, and all easily devised by your bastard father Gendo Ikari…." He murmured, now fearful of how his scenario would play out. Shinji felt fear once more come up, Gendo had planned all this from the get-go? Had he known Shinji and Kaworu would attempt to use Unit-13 to steal the spears?! If so, how?!

Unit-13's eyes pulsed eyes as its mouth bolts finally gave way, releasing a roar of fury as it looked to the heavens it would drag down. The Core surround it had all but formed that of a large embryo, quickly shrinking to reform an Angel Core right before Unit-13's open mouth.

And that's when it happened.

That's when Shinji heard it. Or better yet, him again.

"Shinji, I won't let them take you away again….!"

Unit-13's eyes suddenly pulsed white with a loud roar, blinding everyone in the chamber.

"What the hell?!" Asuka gasped, squinting her eye as her and others looked to see what was happening. The light slowly faded to reveal Unit-13's eyes now pulsed sky blue with its mouth closed. In an instant, Unit-13 slammed it head forward, sending the Core flying into the ground with a ground shaking quake. "What in the hells going on…?"

"it isn't awakened, so what is this?" Mari questioned as well. She hadn't seen what the Berserk mode was for Unit-01, so maybe this was similar to it? "Strange…. Might be the Berserk or….?"

"Unit-02 and Unit-08, we have Akrid moving towards the opening, finish off Unit-13 and get here now!" Cap. Katsuragi's voice snapped, making Asuka flinch out of her trance. "Unit-02, respond!"

"U-Understood, we're heading up." Asuka called out, turning as Unit-13 began snarling and shaking as if struggling in pain. The concrete like stone pylons were ripped out as Leliel's shadow and the pylons reformed into the 12th Angel, with Unit-13 giving a cry of pain. The Angel growled as linings of white came across its form, before shifting to a single snake like body and quickly rushing out the ceiling opening with a shriek. "Damn, the Angel's gone! We'll have to deal with it later…. Four-Eyes we're leaving, we've got incoming Akrid! Let's get the hell out of here!"

"You got it!" Unit-08 began standing up, placing its sniper aside before firing a grapple down to the surface. Unit-02 jumped towards the grapple, quickly taking it and ascending as Unit-13 began lowering to the ground. "See you around, Puppy Boy…."

Rei Q watched silently, unsure of what to do now. The scenario the Commander originally designed was no broken, and they had no means to pull out the Black Moon. What am I do be ordered to do now? Will I be destroyed for the next Ayanami clone to be reproduced? She questioned mentally with concern, looking from where Leliel had escaped to the larger Evangelion beside the Mark.06. Should I... Follow them...?

Unit-13 slowly lowered till it was beside the Mark.06, slamming a spear into the ground. Shinji was so confused by this. "What in the hell is going….?" He murmured, unsure of what was occurring. All of a sudden, a halo pulsed to life above the Evangelion's head. "Huh?"

Unit-13 grabbed the Mark.06 as it lifted up into the air. All of a sudden, message appeared either Plug. It's time we leave, it read as Unit-13 began rising faster. Time to go home.

"Home….?" Shinji asked, though he didn't receive a response as the LCL pressure was sudden raised harshly. Shinji cried in pain as gasped one last time before he feel unconscious. "K….Kaworu…."

Said Fifth Child was watching Unit-13 with more so confusion than Shinji. At no point had he knew of Unit-13 being a Vessel of Adam up until the 12th Angels attempted union with its inner frame as he'd only assumed that Leliel desired a assimilation with himself and the EVA to cause another impact. But this… This was completely different than before, especially as to how Leliel left the Mark.06 without destroying its original frame. "What… Is this….?" He murmured, before he felt a massive heat wave come up around his neck. The 13th Angel gasped and tugged at his collar, unable to look to see the choker began disintegrating. "The… The choker it's….!"

You are friend of Shinji? Another message now read on Kaworu's screen, before it was replaced by another. You, Angel or not, will live. Think this as token of gratitude for being there for Shinji when I could not be.

"Who are you? You cannot be the soul residing in Unit-01 nor an Ayanami clone. Who are you?"

I? I am no close of mother or Ayanami Rei. I am the Sixth Child. The next message stated, before it was replaced with a silhouette of a person. Whoever they were had somewhat long hair with a soft, friendly smile and sky blue eyes which glowed and showed gratitude and recognition towards Kaworu.

"I'm Shiro, Shiro Ikari. It's a pleasure to meet you."


Surface, Old Tokyo-3

On the surface, things were looking bleak as explosions, missiles and every sort of weapon went off all across the surface by New NERV HQ. WILLE's Wunder fired its array of cannons alongside its hovering fleet, hovering not far from the large inverted pyramid. "Ma'am, we've got multiple Akrid enclosing around the metal shaft! They're entering the inner parts of the Geo-Front!" Kitakami reported.

"Patter Yellow confirmed across all levels; they're all either Cat-L, S' or M." Aoba called.

"Any word on Units 02 and 08?" Cap. Katsuragi asked, looking to the Vice-Captain.

"The Akrid are for the most filling any space for exit," Ritsuko explained, pulling up a side image of New NERV and the Wunder beside it. "They'll have to go up the main shaft and find a way out NERV from there."

"Damn, and we're already in enemy territory as it it…" Katsuragi muttered. She didn't like this, how even with NERV and WILLE at each other's necks, they along with NEVEC willingly put most their differences aside for this common enemy. Still, she was happy to have at least one side with EVA's, even if they didn't follow their own standards or beliefs. "And Unit-13 and BM-03? What's their statuses?"

"We had to take off before the Akrid got in." Asuka's radio spoke out with a hint of ignorance as the image of New NERV showed two moving dots, one labeled 'Unit-02D' and the other 'Unit-08.' "Best guess is they've probably been eaten alive of captured for Thermal Energy in Unit-13."

"Well that kills two birds with one stone," Ritsuko encouraged, looking over to Nagara. "Bring us closer to New NERV, have the left wing a 2 miles from the surface so our EVA's can get aboard."

"Roger," Nagara responded, pulling the controls slightly upwards. In an instant, Wunder began gently lowering, now close as possibly to the main shafts connection to New NERV.

A sudden alarm blared out, and Kitakami looked on the sonar to see several objects moving rapidly. "Captain Katsuragi ma'am, I'm picking up a large object moving rapidly towards us. It's definitely NEVEC!" She cried out.

"So they've finally shown themselves…. Bring our systems to Battle Station level 3! We cannot allow NEVEC to gain any ground here!" NEVEC, the word rang loud through the UN and what remained of the US government. A US supported faction dedicated to reforming peace in both major powers by using EVA and Thermal Energy to stop the Angel, Akrid and NERV crisis. Katsuragi remembered it differently though. She remembered a time where both they and NEVEC didn't exist, a time where it was all of them against NERV and SEELE before then, and even close to being called family before the split of the two groups.

Had it not been for that damn Ikari, we'd have won this war ages ago, she thought with exasperate memories. I'm sorry it had to end the way it did then, Shiro. Hopefully this will all work out in the end, and hopefully no one else deaths will be in vain…


Not far off a large vessel moved rapidly towards the Akrid swamped zone. The object was a large hovering vessel built similar to a boat with a large tower like observation station above the main body, with the lower belly housing a large circular cargo station to the read with a curved command bridge in front of it. Above the bridge was a thin wing like deck which connected to the far back and ended with two prongs far out from the bridge end. Finally the ship was topped off with two large thruster engines underneath the thin like deck on either side, with smaller engines on the center body.

It wasn't a big as the Wunder, though it packed serious firepower as it had two large double barrel artillery cannons on either side of the hull with smaller cannons scattered across the front, sides and back. Finally on the wing deck were the word 'US NEVEC STORMBREAKER' in English and Japanese on either side.

The large cargo bay began flashing several lights across the outer hull as the large panels began opening. In that small moment, the Stormbreaker rushed forward till it was just above the Akrid. Instantaneously, the twin cannons turned downwards and fired large explosive rounds to the surface. Akrid and dirt were sent flying in all directions, with flying Akrid rushing towards the sky. The panel opened and out rushed to objects.

The first was a red and blue colored Evangelion, built in similar design to the original Unit-05 though with reinforced and re-armored legs and now humanoid EVA arms. The other was dinosaur in appearance, designed with a more militaristic look than the normal humanoid or organic design of EVA. It had two large Anti-Akrid cannons on the top close to the legs connection to the main body, which had raptor like arms with sharp claws, finally topped off with a slanted tip pointed head.

"This is Trident, Operation Renewal is a go!" The pilot of this military mecha, codenamed the Trident Land Cruiser or TRIDENT for short, was Mana Kirishima. She was young for a pilot of her age, with short brown hair and bluebell eyes, thought it wasn't anything to concerning as WILLE and NERV had already done before and after Near-Third Impact. She wore desert sand colored armor on her gloves and chest atop a dark blue sleeveless jumpsuit. The armor covered her shoulders and half of her torso, with a small red crystal outlined by a silver circle with the word 'NEVEC' on her left shoulder. "We're moving in! Musashi, how are you holding up?"

"Good so far, glad to see the design frame of Unit-05 still works, even if it was just a body with sticks for legs!" The pilot of the Unit-05 rebuild, now EVA Unit-07, was Mana's friend Musashi Lee Strasberg. He like Mana wore the exact same armor, though he kept on his helmet as Mana didn't. He had dark purple hair similar to Katsuragi's hair color, though shortened to being above his neck with dark green eyes.

"This is Lt. Colonel Geno Suveraji on all NEVEC channels. Operation Renewal has been approved. EVA Wolfpac and EVA EURO Heurtebize are still under weapon finalization, so you'll have be on your own for the beginning duration of the Operation. Unit-TRIDENT, move in to secure the objective. Unit-07, defend the opening so SI and Trident can escape. TRIDENT, move in and secure SI before returning back to the surface!"

"Understood," Mana replied, pulling the controls as her Tridents feet began lighting up. On the bottom soles of the feet were engines with smaller one on the back framing. "Engines now are active!"

Trident rushed forward into the hole made by the earlier explosion as Unit-05 landed close to the hole. "You get going, Mana! I'll hold these bastards off." Musashi called out, pulling up Unit-07's jousting lance and the built on Pallet Rifle on its right hand. Akrid began finally returning from the explosive area, growling and snarling as they began rushing forward. "Out the fire and into the frying pan indeed…."


A/N: I think I have too many ideas for my own good. I won't lie when I say I've written almost 4 versions of this chapter before finally settling with this one. Anyways, I've finally started the transition from the 3.3 ending to the new one. I hope to make it enjoyable for you all, so please do wait for when the next comes out. I should also mention, the NEVEC Stormbreaker is based off a spaceship art I've had for a while.
