"I just keep remembering unpleasant things..."

The sea looked like blood that day.

The spindly form of the seventh Angel -Israfel- crossed it effortlessly; leaving snowflake shaped footprints on the water. The volley of bullets from the ships and grounded guard posts were nothing to the clock-faced Angel's AT field. They were repelled like so many bugs. The timer clicked away, it's twin faces moving like the hands of a clock, until they finally reached the peak and the water exploded with a series of cruciform attacks. The Lilin's boats ruptured.

Shinji Ikari was being transported that day.

"Have confidence in yourself."

Kaworu Nagisa watched the scene unfold with a kind of bored interest. The pilot of Unit 02 was really impressive. But he wanted to watch Shinji fight again. He wanted to watch the boy fight for those he cared for. Not a princess who only fought for her own acceptance. Israfel crumbled.

Yes, the pilot of Unit 02 was truly impressive.

"Man found God and in their joy tried to make Him theirs."

"Pleased to meet you...Father."

Gendo Ikari had done something rather fascinating. As Kaworu watched the man's ship orbit the moon, he could feel the definite presence of Adam. Perched on the fingertip of Unit 06 as he was, Kaworu found it fitting enough to turn to Shinji's father and keep eye contact until the ship had continued it's course. He felt the tug his soul gave; willing him to return to the body now buried on Ikari's hand.

"Soon." He whispered.

"These children can only live in shells."

Another assault of air N-2 mines proved to be ineffective. Sahaquiel continued to fall.

"What will you do now, Shinji-kun?"

The Evangelion crouched. The Evangelion icharged/i! Uncaring of the damage they caused to the city, they continued to run towards the targeted landing area.

And Kaworu Nagisa smiled.

Sahaquiel shed it's outer layers of AT field, shaping itself into a spherical rainbow of light. It altered it's trajectory, moving faster than the Lilin had predicted towards it's chosen landing site.

I am a living bomb.

I am the Archangel of the Sky.

I am the unstoppable.

The Ingenuity of God.

Sahaquiel shed another layer, piercing the atmosphere faster than before. It planned to blow a hole in the GeoFront. It began to spin, unfurling it's rainbow coloured wings from the main body, the black bands seperating the colour looked like eyes. Saw like eyes. And what it saw was good.

Eva Unit 01 extended it's AT field. Sahaquiel extended it's own. The two masses reached to each other and Kaworu nodded.

"Borrow my form."

Sahaquiel pierced the light of Shinji's soul and grasped the Eva's hands with it's own. It span it's hands into drills. Unit 01 iroared/i. From beside it, the red Eva appeared, brandishing it's knives.

I WILL NOT BE BEATEN.

Sahaquiel moved. It's wings unfurling again to hold sets of white explosives to the sky. It's core moved. Two of these monstrosities could not beat him, surely.

Kaworu smiled.

A third leapt from the ground and split Sahaquiel's AT field, it grabbed hold of it's core.

NO.

It protested. There was something inside the light of it's soul. A piercing sudden pain and then

it all faded away.

It's blood looked like a sea that day.

A/N:

Hey guys and gals, this is a fic I wrote for a competition on dA, the 'Through Darker Eyes' one. It's literally called 'You Can (Not) Advance' after Rebuild 2.0. Written in Kaworu's (and a couple of other Angel's) POV.

But I'm uploading this because it's literally to prove I'm still alive and working on the Tokyo-2 fic |D

I hate to sound like those whiny θΏ­&Rauthors, but I'm happy about everyone that reviews, and we'll have an Interlude 2.0 (lol) at some point where I'll respond to them all~

P.S: I totally don't keep forgetting doesn't like my coding.

Love you lots, Sleety~
