Here's the chapter 4. The first real right of the story.

Chapter 4: Shinji vs Sachiel

Shinji was on the raising platform. He didn't feel his inside going down and he knew he was coming to the surface really fast. He wasn't ready to fight the angel.

"-Shinji! Can you hear me?-" Shinji heard Misato voice. The voice looked like she was near his ears.

"Yes. Misato, what exactly happened to me?!" Shinji shouted.

"-You just are in the Eva armor now Shinji.-" Misato told him. "-No one knows any specific detail about it. You have to be ready. You are soon at the surface and you have to fight the angel.-"

"I don't know how to fight!" Shinji replied.

"-We know. Listen to me Shinji, no one can explain how it work, but you must have learn to fight a little,-" Misato asked.

Shinji thought back, but his memory was a little blurry because of the fear: "I don't know."

"-Yes he did. They taught him how to fight,-" Gendo entered in the conversation.

"-The angel reached the entrance. It's locked right now and it seemed to search how to force it,-" Maya said.

"-You reach the surface in 3...2...1...-" Misato warned.

Shinji looked over him and saw the platform opening. It suddenly stopped and Shinji was thrown in the air.

"AAAHHH!" Shinji screamed and saw where he was about to land and screamed louder.

Sachiel moved his head at the direction of the sound and saw a green and purple thing falling on him.

What t- Sachiel was cut when Shinji landed on his face before he kept rolling on the ground and he stopped on his feet, near the door. He had a sweat drop when he realised it and remembered the angel. He turned around and saw Sachiel standing up.

The angel looked at him and his black eyes grew in size. His shoulder bones opened and closed at fast pace as he was hyper ventilating.

Impossible.

"-Shinji. Attack now!-" Misato told him.

Shinji took a step forward and the angel took a step backward.

How can you be here?!

Shinji tried to gulp, but he couldn't. He had no saliva in his mouth. Shinji tried moving his mouth and realised that he didn't have one anymore. He took another step forward and the angel took another one backward.

Stay away from me! Don't come any closer! You will not kill another angel!

Shinji realised the angel thought he was someone else. He didn't saw what he really looked like, but he decided to attack now. He charged at the angel who turned around and ran away.

Stay away from me ghost!

Shinji was confused. He didn't know what's in the angels mind. One thing was sure, he was catching the angel.

"-Shinji! Summon your weapon.-" Misato told him.

"How?" Shinji asked.

"-Well...I don't know,-" Misato replied.

The angel stopped running away and turned around. His black and empty eyes shined with red light. Shinji gasped and stopped chasing the angel.

That voice. You are not a ghost! You are that lilim who escaped me earlier; the one who shouldn't exist. You dare humiliate me by looking like the slayer. The angel shouted furiously.

He raised his hand and threw a spear. Shinji shouted and ducked. The spear hit the wall at the entrance and passed through it like nothing. Shinji saw the eyes of the angel shining and rolled away from the blast.

Those moves are clearly not those of the slayer. Sachiel commented.

"-Shinji. You cannot lose time dodging. You have to attack now,-" Misato told him.

Shinji didn't pass to the offensive and dodged another blast.

"At-attack?" Shinji asked with a cracking voice.

The angel halo appeared on the angel's head and jumped in the sky. Shinji saw the black spot in the air and waited for whatever would happen. He saw two shiny red spot. He saw a beam coming. Shinji shouted, closed his eyes and raised his hands. A shield appeared and blocked the beam. He opened them and looked over him. He saw an orange wave coming from his hands and surrounding him.

"-You summon you're AT-Field Shinji.-" Misato congratulate him.

"-This is not enough boy. Attack now or you might not survive.-" Gendo said.

Shinji saw the angel coming at him. Shinji moved to the left and the angel crushed in the ground where the Eva was a second ago. The angel was stuck in the ground and only his shoulders and his head were out.

Urgh! I supposed I should learn that eye of an eye and tooth for a tooth don't work. Urgh. Sachiel tried to get out of the ground.

"Now!" Misato ordered.

Shinji braced himself and charged. He jumped in the air and landed on the face of the angel. He moved away and kicked it again a few times.

Ouch! Argh! Dad dammit! Sachiel shouted in pain. A part of his masked face cracked. He called his AT-Field. Shinji hit the field and couldn't pass it. He tried kicking it, but couldn't pass through it. Shinji grabbed the shield with his hands and tried to tear it apart.

The angel freed his left hand and grabbed Shinji's hand. He pulled the boy closer to him. Shinji gasped and pulled back. He didn't notice the grin on the angel's face when he released him from the ground.

"-Shinji stop pulling!-" Misato suddenly shouted.

Thanks for the help lilim. Sachiel said with a chuckled. He opened his hand when he was free and pulled out his spear. Shinji moved tried to dodge, but the spear pierced his shoulder.

"Argh!" Shinji shouted. He felt on the ground by the sudden pain and his shoulder bleeding out. He looked at the angel and took a step away from it.

What is it? You're about to run away? Sachiel asked with a mocking tone.

Shinji stood up and backed away.

You are not used to pain. Sachiel replied. His eyes lighten up again. You shall be the first one who shouldn't exist I'll kill lilim. You look just like the previous one my brother killed you know.

Shinji didn't reply. His breath accelerated.

"-Shinji. Fight,-" Misato told him. It wasn't only her, he heard Maya saying the same thing.

Sachiel threw a beam and hit Shinji. A horizontal cross exploded at the entrance of Nerv base. Shinji was stuck in the rock just over the entrance. A part of the chest armor was broken and blood came out. Shinji didn't move, but his body was trembling. He could hear Misato telling him to move and fight, but fear paralysed him.

That's it lilim? You're already defeated? You barely put up resistance against me. You only look like the one the slayer who killed my siblings.

"-Shinji!-" Multiple spoke in Shinji's ears.

"The one who slayed your siblings?" Shinji said.

Sachiel looked at Shinji and he was taken aback by the sudden cold voice. The angel was slow at his response, but when he talked, he said confidently: You want to know who the lilim was. She was a thorn in our way. A big one who almost kills my dear brother; a psycho killer and my brother told her name. Yui Ikari.

"Just as I thought," Shinji replied with his cold voice. His white eyes started changing color. Shinji freed himself from the wall and he landed on the ground. He raised his head and he looked at the angel. Sachiel saw red eyes and not white eyes anymore.

Dammit! I should have killed you when I could! Sachiel cursed himself.

Sachiel aimed at Shinji with his arms and fired his spears. Shinji dodged both of them and charged. He grabbed the angel face and two claws were in the angel's eyes, blocking his view. He stroke at the angel's stomach with his knee and threw him on the ground. Shinji punched the core of Sachiel who countered with his AT-Field, throwing Shinji away. The boy flew in the air and landed on his feet. His red eyes looked into the black one of Sachiel.

How can you be suddenly strong?! Sachiel shouted afraid of Shinji.

Shinji put his hands over his chest and the pectoral plate opened. Amber liquid came out of it and it started to take shape. When the liquid solidified, it turned into a green naginata with purple sharp blade.

Why are you silent lilim?!

Shinji charged and the angel jumped away and kept his distance. He fired beam with his eyes, but the AT-Field covered Shinji. The boy closed the distances and he slashed with his naginata. It hit the AT-Field of the angel. He continued attacking, but the AT-Field blocked his attack. Sachiel tried to same, but Shinji AT-Field remained strong.

"-Shinji! What's happening to you Shinji?!-" Misato shouted. She continued asking his name, but Shinji wasn't responding.

Shinji naginata suddenly pierced the angel's AT-Field and cut the right legs. The angel barely maintained his balance on one leg. Shinji aimed for the core and hit it directly with his weapon. The attack was violent and the Angel was thrown again the wall near Nerv entrance.

Sachiel's core cracked and the angel gasped. He looked at Shinji and tried crawling away. The boy in the Eva armor walked closer and closer while Sachiel pitifully tried to maintain some distance.

No. This can't be happening! I can't die in my first battle! Sachiel turned around and saw Shinji ready to destroy his core once and for all. Sachiel grabbed the blade with his hands before it hit the core. His hands were covered with blood, but the angel maintained his grasp. Spare me please! I'm sorry about what I said about Yui! I will go away and leave your kind alone! I don't want to die and- The blade slid in the arms and moved closer to the core. Sachiel eyes were fully opened and tears came out. Good-bye Zeruel.

The naginata suddenly moved away from Sachiel. The angel saw Shinji pushed away by an AT-Field that came out of nowhere.

What is that?!

Shinji stood up and his red eyes turned white again.

"Urgh. What happened?" Shinji asked confused. He saw the angel on the ground and knew he could kill him if he wants.

"-Shinji. Spare the angel. It will be more useful to bring him alive while he cannot defend himself,-" a strange voice said in the boys ears.

"Who are you?" Shinji asked.

"-I'm L; the main investor of Nerv. You can say that in the chain of command, I'm over your father. I want you to let the angel live for interrogation. With his damaged core, he cannot use his power and might be talkative. If he spoke, you will know where the angels come front and kill them once and for all.-"

"But-" Shinji was cut.

"-That is all you will get from me.-" L replied.

"But-" Shinji was cut again.

"-Do as he said boy. He's more useful alive and he isn't her killer, but he knows the name and the appearance of Yui killer.-" Gendo replied.

Shinji looked on the ground and he saw the naginata. He picked up and it turned into the amber liquid and returned in his chest. He didn't know how he does that, but he didn't really care. He saw the door leading inside Nerv base opening and soldiers came out of with a truck and a cage with it.

I'm not going to die? Sachiel asked confuse.

"No. But you're going to think it's a better option," a soldier replied.

The truck car opened and Misato came out. She walked at Shinji direction with a smile.

Shinji suddenly felt weak and he looked on the ground. His vision blurred and the voices he heard turned into echoes.

"Shinji?! He's bleeding too much!" Misato shouted.

The boy only saw black.

Angels focus

Zeruel flew around and moved his body left and right.

Brother! Where are you?! Father is calling for you! It's been a day since you go and distract yourself!

Zeruel felt a moment of weakness and landed on the ground. His core was dark red and he knew it wasn't a good sign, but he didn't care. Sachiel! If you don't come out now! Ramiel is going to lecture you and I know you hate it!

Zeruel didn't have a response.

My children. Come to me now. I have discover what happened to you brother Sachiel.

Zeruel waited a few seconds if there was anything else. His father said nothing else. Zeruel knew bad news was on the way. Please father, tell us Sachiel is alive and well. Zeruel said slowly.

He joined his father with his siblings. He looked at them and none of them said a word.

What happened to our brother? Leliel asked.

Their father was silent for a few seconds before he put his hand over his core: I used my power to detect him and he's not here. He's on the lilim land.

Zeruel gasped more loudly than his siblings.

The good news is that he's not dead. Knowing the lilim, he will eventually die.

Zeruel twisted his arms and his eyes shined red. HE'S NOT GOING TO DIE!

His father looked at him and silently nodded. I will not let my son die. I'm going to keep him in check. I can feel his soul. He's confused and afraid. His source of confusion is that he's not dead. His fear is what is coming next. After this, I cannot see or hear anything. I can only feel his life. The lilim father must be preventing me to see more.

Zeruel looked in his father's eyes: I'm going to save him right now!

His father gently grabbed his son and lifted him near his eyes. Zeruel only saw the empty black eyes, but he knew his father was worried about him. Son. You core is still damage and if you try anything, you will die. Zeruel grunted in pain when white light covered him. You will not be able to teleport to Earth. I restrain you here until you are fully healed.

What do you want us to do? Ramiel asked calmly.

Nothing for now. Zeruel mouth figuratively felt on the ground at his father answers. His father continued: I will find a plan based on the information I have before the lilim father interfered. You are dismissed. When we are ready, we will rescue Sachiel.

The giant angel put Zeruel on the ground and the angels dispersed except Leliel.

Zeruel. We are going to rescue Sachiel. Father knows what he's doing.

Leliel. Leave me alone. I don't want to speak with anyone right now. Zeruel responded aggressively.

Leliel knew it was dangerous to talk with Zeruel. He floated away and left his brother alone.

When Zeruel was alone, he extended his arms and destroyed a hill near him.

AARRGGHH! If the lilims killed you brother, they will pay for their sins!

AC: Here's the end of chapter 4.
