Chapter 9 - chapter 9

Somewhere.

"It been a while, Shinji." Gendo said as he was looking at the same stone as his son.

"It has Commander Ikari." Shinji's words were a little surprising to Gendo. He had expected him to call him father. Gendo thought that perhaps he finally got that silly notion of them being a family out of his head.

"I'm guessing you don't have any pictures of her."

"I have all I need to remember her in my heart." Gendo said as a VTOL gunship came to pick him up. Shinji noticed that his ride was here as well. Shinji entered Misato's car with Seth inside of it.

The three of them were driving down the road when Misato decided to speak.

"Shinji you alright?"

"Yea-"

"MOVE TO THE LEFT!" Seth yelled as a turret from a ship came and crush the road in front of them.

"Misato I'll go and hold it off." Seth said as he jumped out of the window and flew inside [B.L.A.Z.E.].

"Seth wait!" Misato said, but Seth was too far away.

Seth saw the 7th angel. It was a large clock shape being. Seth saw the angel unleash an energy attack that destroyed several of the ships.

"Seth I've made you a little present." Blaze said as a new data item appeared on his HUD.

"Anti-A.T-Field blades? Oh hell yeah!" Seth said as he decided to try out his new toy. Unknown to him unit two was launched from the sky.

The angel was too busy with unit two to notice Seth coming. Seth slashed at the angel's A.T-Field. He charged at the black sphere at the base of the angel and flew straight through it ripping out a large red sphere with it. At the same moment Unit Two had shot at the fake core. It seemed like she defeated the angel in one shot.

"Wow that was easy. Why the hell did you guys have so much trouble with the angels?" The pilot said. Suddenly a com-link to the NERV bridge opened up.

"Huh? Oh you guys are here to congratulate me on defeating the angel so fast. Well there's no need to, I already know I'm the best." Asuka said.

"Uh Asuka, you weren't the one who defeated the angel. Seth was." Maya Said which made Asuka mad.

"What?! Who the hell defeated the angel?!" Asuka yelled over the com-link.

"Hey Ritsuko look what I got." Seth said as he open a com-link with the NERV bridge. Everyone on the bridge was absolutely shocked. It was an S2 organ. The fruit of life was in Seth's hands.

"No way! An S2 organ!" Maya exclaimed.

"Seth, we-"

"What the hell is going on!" Seth suddenly yelled gaining everyone's attention. A message in Seth's HUD said 'Beginning intergradation of the S2 organ.' The red core was rapidly decreasing in size and soon shrunk to the of an I.S. core. The emblem in the dead center of [B.L.A.Z.E.]'s chest opened up so show a slot for a core to be put in. The small red sphere now entered the slot and the emblem closed itself.

'Intergradation complete. A.T-Field is now online. [Heaven's Wrath] is now more accessible, time limit is now 30 minutes.' The message now said.

"Seth what the hell happened?" Ritsuko.

"[B.L.A.Z.E.] took in the core." "Blaze why did you do that."

"Sorry Seth it was the only way to gain an A.T-Field. I did it to protect you." Blaze said to Seth.

"Seth is there anyway to research the S2 organ?" Ritsuko asked.

"I see if I can do something. [B.L.A.Z.E.] is still a mystery to me." Seth said.

"Well Seth congrats, you have the first angel kill without the use of an Eva." Misato said as she join the com-link.

"Thanks anyway we better start with the recovery." Seth said as he got to work.

Within several minutes, Seth rejoined Shinji who now had his friends with him. Toji and Kensuke were two people that Seth liked. They were both kind to Shinji, but Kensuke was a military otaku and constantly bugged Seth about his weapons. It didn't help when he found out about [B.L.A.Z.E.] and [F.L.A.M.E.].

"Aniki, I can't believe you killed the angel." Shinji was actually surprised that Seth defeated the angel. He thought only an Eva could fights and win against an angel.

"Seth-san can I please see [B.L.A.Z.E.]?" Kensuke asked.

"What? I already showed it to you."

"But it's so cool!"

"Fine." Seth said as he activated [B.L.A.Z.E.] and Kensuke entered fanboy mode. He started to look all around [B.L.A.Z.E.].

"Seth I don't like how he's staring at me."

"Blaze please just deal with it. I'm sure he'll stop eventually."

"HEY!" The group heard a girl yell at them. They turned around to see an angry redhead German glaring at them. The girl jumped down and headed towards Seth.

"Who the fuck do you think you are, stealing my thunder like that." The girl said. Seth noticed the red plugsuit the girl was wearing and the number 02 on it. This was the pilot of Evangelion Unit Two, Asuka Langley Soryu. Seth heard about her prideful nature, but this was not what he expected. He hated prideful people. It was always them that caused a plan to fail and someone would pay for their mistake.

"I'm Seth Fairs, Asuka and I think I'm the current support for Evangelion Unit one." Seth said in a mocking tone. Asuka tried to punch at Seth, but her punch was caught and forced into a pin.

"It isn't nice to try and hit people." Seth said as he held her. Seth let Asuka go after Misato ordered it. This was not gonna go down well with Asuka.

A Month later.

During the first day after Asuka arrived, Seth and Shinji moved out of the apartment. They were able to rent at a much better place which pissed Asuka off. Misato was sad that she no longer had a great cook. Over the last few weeks Asuka didn't like anyone at NERV. She especially didn't like Seth, Shinji and Rei. Shinji was too kind for her liking, Rei was a freaking doll, and Seth just pissed her off. It didn't help that the whole base seemed to make upgrading Unit One their main focus. They didn't haven't checked up on Unit Two, which was the world's first true Evangelion, According to Asuka. She had to find out what they were putting on unit one.

She decided to sneak up on Seth, who was currently typing away inside [B.L.A.Z.E.] with a hologram computer screen. Two days ago Misato, Ritsuko, Fuyutsuki, and Gendo were called to a U.N. meeting so Seth was placed in charged for three days. Asuka tried to sneak up on Seth to find out what he was doing.

"It isn't nice to sneak up on someone." Seth said which surprised the redhead German.

"How did you know I was here?"

"I can see all round me inside [B.L.A.Z.E.]." Asuka called a bluff.

"Quit lying and tell me how you were able to detect me."

"I'm serious. If you want, you can test it."

"Fine." Asuka said. She flicked her middle finger that Seth.

"Girl, if you want to keep that finger then put it down." Seth said as he deployed an energy blade which made Asuka stopped her actions.

"So what are you doing here?" Seth asked.

"That's none of your business, Hentai." Asuka spat out. Seth had suppressed his anger and continued his work. Asuka began to look at the screen.

"You know, if you wanted to know on what I was working on, you could just ask." Seth said which caused Asuka to entered bitch mode.

"Why on earth would I want to know on what you're working on." Seth ignored her and continued working.

"Alright, Blaze send it to Ritsuko." Seth said as he deactivated [B.L.A.Z.E.]. He had just finished recording the Data on the S2 core. If it worked, the Eva would no longer need a power cable.

"Sorry Seth I couldn't send it." Blaze said.

"What?"

"Master there's something jamming our communications." Flame said as she tried to send the data, but it failed. She tried different ways of contacting Ritsuko, but all were failures.

"Seth Fairs come to the bridge please we have a problem." Aoba said over the com-link.

"Asuka get in your Eva in case something happen."

"Why should I listen to you?"

"Asuka I'm currently in charge and this is an order. Go." Seth said in a dark tone surprising the redhead. She decided to not go against Seth's orders.

Seth was currently in a small room with other members of the bridge bunnies. They were trying to make a plan to deal with the 8th angel Sahaquiel. The N2 mine missile barrage had no effect whatsoever on the angel.

"How long until it reaches us?" Seth asked.

"The MAGI predicts it will reach us in just under two hours. It predicts a 99.9997% chance of it hitting us." Seth looked at the simulator that someone made and saw that it would destroy all the layers of protection after it hit. Tokyo-3 would be vaporized.

"I got a plan, it's a long shot, but its our best shot." Seth began to tell about his plan of catching the angel.

"Are you nuts! That will never work." One of the personal said.

"Well does anyone have a better idea. No I thought so. It can be done in the limited amount of time and with three Evangelion units it should work." Seth stated.

"But the MAGI predicts a 72% Failure rate."

"That's a lot better than sitting on our asses waiting to die. Now come on people, lets move it." Seth began to order the teams to move into position.

About an hour and a half later.

"You want us to catch it?!" Asuka yelled.

"Yup." Seth said as he continued to get the teams ready.

"That's nuts." Asuka stated.

"It will work if we do this together. Now head towards you position." Seth said as he activated [B.L.A.Z.E.] and flew off.

The plan was to launch the Evas from three certain area. The Evas could cover each place if the angel landed there. Seth would try and weaken Sahaquiel before it his. With his own A.T-Field he would try to damage it, but the angel was massive and it could regenerate.

"Begin the operation." Seth said over the com-link and the Evangelions launched.

Seth flew up towards the black sphere and began his assault. As the Evas moved, Seth began to unload on Sahaquiel, by the beast was so massive that it regenerated the wounds it received. Seth knew that [F.L.A.M.E.] would be able to damage it, but it couldn't neutralize the A.T-Field.

"Dammit no choice. Access Code: [Heaven's Wrath]" Seth said as his armor turned white, the green lines on [B.L.A.Z.E.] turned yellow and the wings on [B.L.A.Z.E.] were replaced by two angelic yellow wings of light. Seth decided to use a weapon he hadn't used before. A large sword with a blade made of pure lightning appeared in hands. Seth charged at Sahaquiel with the Zerker Blade.

"Wait Seth!" Blaze said, but Seth didn't listen. The moment the blade hit the angel a thunderbolt hit the angel which surprised Seth, but he soon realized that Sahaquiel was flying in a different direction.

"Oh shit." Seth cursed as the plan was not heading south. He began to see which Eva was closest. It was Unit 00.

"Rei, you need to hurry."

"I understand." Rei said as she sped up her Eva, breaking the sound barrier.

"Aoba, raised defense barrier 1003 to 1025 for Shinji and numbers 296 to 344 for Asuka." Seth ordered and the bridge bunny typed in the command and the defensive barrier creating a path for the giant. Rei reached the point where the angel was just above her. She raised her hands up.

"A.T-Field full power." Rei said as she raised her A.T-Field stopping the angel. Sahaquiel would not let this stop him. He reached for the arms of Zerogouki.

"Oh no you don't!" Seth yelled as he brought out his energy blades, slashing the angels arms off. The angel roared in pain, but it retaliated by increasing the force it was pressing on Zerogouki. Just then the other two Evas arrived to help.

"Shinji, Asuka help Rei!" Seth said. Shinji did as his older brother asked, but Asuka ignored the orders. She tried to attach the angel, but she was stopped by the angel stabbing her with one of its regenerated spear-arms. Sahaquiel stabbed at the left arm of Unit Two. It threaten to rip the arm completely arm, and it would have had it not been for Seth cutting the arm.

"ASUKA HELP THE OTHERS NOW!" Seth yelled over the com-link. Asuka knew that she would be unable to attack it with one good arm. Unit Two now helped by raising its A.T-Field. The angel could no longer press down, but the Evas have less than 25 seconds of energy remaining. Seth flew at the eye of the angel and the red core was spinning rapidly.

"Aniki, hurry. We're almost out of power." Shinji said.

"Fine if I you won't hold still, I'll just aim everywhere!" Seth yelled as he created thirty spheres of light. The spheres each unleashed an energy beam, but the angel avoided the attack, that was until Seth ordered the spheres to spin around and hit the red core, shattering it.

The Evas felt the force pressing down on them disappear, they were all, except Asuka, glad that the angel was dead, but it suddenly turned into a pool of blood, flooding the city. The streets were filled with blood and Seth was carried by the current.

"Aniki are you alright!" Shinji yelled. Over the com-link the three pilots heard what sounded like puking. Than they heard Seth talk.

"This is wrong *puke* I'm puking up bloods that isn't mine *puke*." Seth said as he continued to puke up the angel's blood.

"Seth incoming call from commander Ikari." Maya said as he patched Seth to Gendo.

"Seth Fairs, explain what happened." Gendo ordered.

"An angel attacked. We were able to defeat the angel, but unit two received extensive damage. I take full responsibility." Seth said as he knew that the person in charge was responsible for the events that occur during an operation.

"No matter. You were successful in defeating the angel, which is NERV's goal. The fact that only one unit received damaged is acceptable. You are dismissed." Gendo stated as he cut the line.

The three Eva pilots were recovered and were now getting out of their entry plugs. Seth came up to Asuka and slapped her on her cheek.

"Ouch! The hell was that for?!"

"YOU FREAKING IDIOT! Do you have any idea what you almost caused?! Because you decided to go against my orders, the mission almost failed and humanity was a few minutes away from kissing its ass goodbye!" Seth yelled at the redhead German.

"I didn't need to have your help. I could have done this on my own." Seth was gonna have none of this attitude.

"Asuka I've seen many good friends of mine die, because of a dumbass trying to be a hot shot. You will drop that attitude or you will be replaced." Seth knew that he couldn't get Asuka removed, but he just need to threaten her.

"There's no way you can replace me." Asuka said.

"Are you sure that we can't?" Seth said as he left leaving a small fear inside of Asuka. Unit two was all she had, could she really be removed from it.

Several more weeks later.

It has now been five months after Seth and the Angels arrived. Seth words were able to knock some sense into Asuka. She now joined Shinji and Rei in their training. Seth was currently with Ritsuko and Misato. They were waiting on the news of unit four's activation test. It was to be placed with an S2 organ. If it worked it could be the line for a new generations of Evangelions. They heard the phone ring and Ritsuko answered. Her eyes shot wide at the news.

"Ritsuko what's wrong?" Misato asked her old friend.

"Unit Four was stolen."

"What?! How the hell would someone break into a NERV base and steal a freaking Evangelion. They're huge." Seth thought the idea of stealing one of these monster was nuts. It couldn't be done.

"They said some unknown was able to break past all the defensives and hijack Yongouki." Ritsuko said.

"Why didn't they track it?"

"They couldn't. It as if the Eva disappeared. Americans are sending Unit three here to be activated, because they don't want the trouble." Ritsuko and Misato went to work on

Meanwhile somewhere.

Gendo Ikari was currently in a dark room and there were twelve different monoliths surrounding him. They were here to discuss the disappearance of Unit Four.

"This is an outrage. How dare someone steal one of our Evangelion." Number eight stated.

"While it is a loss, the plan can still continue. As long as Unit One is ready then we'll have no trouble." Number three said.

"Gendo, in light of this event you will receive Unit Three. It should aid you well against the angels." Number one said.

"I have no faith in an untested Unit. If you could increase the budget to upgrade Zerogouki that wo-."

"The role of the prototype will soon be over." Number eleven stated.

"I see, then who should be the pilot of Unit 03. The MAGI suggested Seth Fairs." Gendo said.

"No there are two reasons why you shouldn't do that. The Vatican treaty forbids a nation using more than three Evangelion Units. The E.U. Still holds ownership of Unit 02, so it should be sealed away. The second child will be the pilot of Unit 03. On the same note, we've learned of Seth Fairs recent victory against an Angel. Gendo you better keep your leash on him." Number two said.

"What do you mean? I thought that the fact that we're defeating the Angels so easily with the help of him would be a good thing."

"Fool! The fact that he is able to defeat an angel means he's able to defeat an Evangelion!" Number nine yelled.

"Gendo, in light of his recent victory, giving him a chance to use an Evangelion would be troublesome." Number eight said.

"Gendo, if he becomes more trouble than he's worth, eliminate him." Number one stated.

"I understand." Gendo said.

"For the humanity instrumentally project." All twelve monolith said before they disappeared. Gendo was joined by Fuyutsuki.

"So they not only wish to make a fake god, but a real one." Fuyutsuki said.

"We must hasten Unit 01 awakening." Gendo said as he left the room.

A week later. Unit 03's activation test.

Unit 03 made it to Japan and Unit 02 was sealed away. This made Asuka mad, but during the trip up to Unit 03's entry plug Misato talked to the young German and was able to calm her down.

"I guess I can be happy." Asuka said inside the entry plug.

"Begin the activation test." Misato ordered and the test began. All seemed to be going well until they reached the last few stages. Asuka saw the surroundings of the entry plug change, before what sounded like a small girl laughing was heard.

"The entry plug is entering the negative values!" One of the people screamed.

"Shit. Why the sudden shift." Ritsuko said.

"High energy build up inside the Eva detected!" Another person yelled.

"Blood type: blue detected!"

"An Angel!" Misato yelled. Just then the black Eva ripped open its jaws and unleashing a massive blue explosion.

Meanwhile.

"An explosion?" Shinji said as he answered his phone. Seth, who was next to Shinji, activated [B.L.A.Z.E.] and took Shinji to the Geofront.

Once Seth and Shinji reached the Geofront, both of the boys were put on standby.

"All hands, level one battle stations." Gendo said as he entered the NERV bridge.

"Commander Ikari?" Maya said.

"All hands, level one battle stations. Deploy Unit 01 with the dummy plug along with Seth Fairs. Is Unit 00 finished with the upgrades?" Gendo asked.

"No sir."

"Then Unit 01 will go with Seth Fairs as its support."

"Yes, Commander Ikari." Aoba said as he sent the orders. Both boys were in their plugsuits, waiting for the order. Seth noticed that the entry plug for Unit 01 was different.

"Flame hack into the MAGI and see what that plug is."

"Alright Master. I'll see what I can do." Flame said as she went to work. Unit 01 was transported to a location along with Seth. They were waiting for the angel to appear. Flame came back.

"Master that plug is part of a system known as the dummy system. It's an automated plug, tricking the Eva into thinking there's a person inside it."

"So they made an unmanned entry plug. Flame, hack it and give me control."

"Yes master." Flame had a easy job to do. The MAGI A.I. System was nothing compared to and I.S. A.I. System. Gaining control without anyone noticing would be child's play.

"Aniki you'll think we'll be alright?" Shinji was feeling uncertain. With the fates of Misato, Asuka, and Ritsuko unknown to the young pilot, how could he not worry.

"Don't worry Shinji, we'll be fine. We've taken out angels before with just the two of us." Seth said reassuring the boy.

"Hey, you're right Aniki." Seth was about to say something, but something was yelled over the radio.

"Target in sight. Open fire." A man over the radio yelled. The two boys saw a tall figure coming towards them. They couldn't believe it. It was an Evangelion.

"Is that the target?" Shinji asked to no one in particular.

"Correct. That is your target. Destroy it." Gendo said.

"Flame cut the communication from Unit 01 to NERV." Seth thought.

"But that's an Eva. There's no-." The com-link was cut.

"Eh?" Shinji said.

"Shinji were changing the operation from destroying the angel to saving Asuka." Seth said to Shinji.

"Eh? The entry plug is still inside?!"

"Yes, now we need to hurry." Seth said as he activated [Heaven's Wrath]. His armor turned white, the green lines on [B.L.A.Z.E.] turned yellow and the wings on [B.L.A.Z.E.] were replaced by two angelic yellow wings of light. A thirty minute countdown appeared on Seth's visor.

"Lets do this, Shinji!" Seth yelled as he charged at the infected Unit 03. Shinji in Unit 01 followed him.

The infected Evangelion now saw the two of the heading its way. A halo appeared over the giant's head as It leaped towards Unit 01. Shinji saw the beast heading his way and move, dodging the beast. During this time Seth created 20 spheres of light.

Seth ordered the spheres to surround the infected Eva. The beast turned around and noticed the spheres all around it. Then without warning, golden chains attached themselves to the Eva. The beast tried to move and fought against the chains restraining him.

"Shinji, hurry! Nows your chance!" Seth yelled as he was trying to hold the Eva back.

Shinji charged in Unit 01 at Unit 03. Shinji tried to grab the entry plug, but the angel, even with its arms restraint, extended its hands and started to choke the Eva.

"Shit, hold on Shinji!" Seth created more spheres of light and they latched on to the angel with their chains. The angel was now immobile. Shinji tried to reach for the entry plug once more, but he started to hear the sound of metal snapping. Suddenly the shoulder pilons of the infected Eva tore off, revealing two new arms. These arms quickly grabbed on to Unit 01 and choked Shinji once again.

Meanwhile in the bridge.

NERV was trying its hardest to restore the communication between Unit 01 and [B.L.A.Z.E.], but both were cut.

"Dammit we can restore the link." Aoba cursed.

"The angel is trying to infect Unit 01!" Maya said as she was still able to get the readings from Shogouki.

"Terminate all connections from Unit 01 and the pilot. Give all controls to the dummy system." Gendo ordered.

"Sir the dummy system hasn't been tested." Maya said.

"Doesn't matter. It would still be more useful than the current pilot." Gendo could tell that the boys goal was to save Asuka, but the Dead Sea scrolls had a different outcome. For the plan to work they had to have Shinji suffer. What better way than to kill your friend with your own hands.

"Starting up the dummy system. Negative, the Eva is rejecting the signal. The dummy system won't start." Maya said as she tried to get the system to go, but all attempts failed.

"Unit 01 sync ratio is climbing to 70% no 87.34%." Aoba said as the other started to wonder what caused Shinji to spike so high.

Meanwhile with the boys.

Seth knew that the angel was too focused on Shinji, he decided to get the core himself. He was small enough and fast enough to do it. He landed on the angel's back and started to cut away at the blue webbing on the entry plug. He slashed open the entry plug and pulled out Asuka.

"Shinji I'll be right back!" Seth said as he flew off. During the flight Seth noticed that Asuka was injured, he started using [B.L.A.Z.E.]'s healing ability to heal the girl. In [Heaven's Wrath] the healing ability is dramatically increased. Her wounds were healed rapidly. She opened her eyes and saw Seth carrying her, but before she could say something, Seth handed her to a team of paramedics and flew once again towards Shinji.

Shinji was trying to hold off the beast, but Seth's chains disappeared, allowing the beast to choke Shinji with two of its hand while the other two were holding down the Eva's hands. Suddenly Unit 03's extra arms were cut off. Blue blood gushed out of the stubs of the arms and the Eva roared in pain. The Eva lighten its grip, allowing Shinji to break free. Shinji gave a punch causing the giant to crash on the ground.

"Blaze do you think we could do the same thing you did to the S2 organ with an Eva?" Seth just got the idea. If it could work the Eva would be under his control.

"It could work." Blaze wasn't sure, but it was a good idea if it worked. Seth landed on the down giant and placed his hands on it.

"Begin, Data intergradation." Seth said as [B.L.A.Z.E.]'s hands began to glow. What happened next shocked everyone. The infected Unit 03 began to disappeared. Soon it was gone and [B.L.A.Z.E.] was deactivated.

"Eh? Blaze?"

"Sorry Seth, I won't be useable until I fix Unit 03." Blaze said as she got to work on fixing the damaged Evangelion.

Seth knew that [B.L.A.Z.E.] wouldn't just break down unless for a good reason. So he activated [F.L.A.M.E.] and flew back to the Geofront. As Unit 01 and Seth came back they were met by several Section 2 agents armed with SMGs.

"What's going on?" Seth asked.

"Seth Fairs, Shinji Ikari, you two are under arrest for insubordination. Come with us peacefully or you will be eliminated."

"What?!" Shinji said.

"Shinji, give yourself in, we'll be fine. I promise." Shinji decided to trust Seth, afterall it was trusting Seth that brought him this far.

A Few Hours Later.

After the two were arrested, SEELE called a meeting. They were not in a good mood. After the events that occurred, the wanted one thing. Seth's death.

"Gendo the boy has become too much of a threat. He must be destroyed." Number seven said.

"I agree, the boy has destroyed one of our Evangelions, he needs to die." Number four said.

"The boy is a valuable tool. If we were to throw-." Gendo didn't want Seth's death just yet, he could still carry out his role, but SEELE had other plans.

"Gendo, we gave you an order. Now carry it out, or we will take matters into our own hands." Number one said before the twelve monoliths disappeared.

"So the old men have grown impatient. What are you going to do, Gendo?" Fuyutsuki said.

"It's too soon for SEELE to learn of my plan. We have no other choice then to eliminate Seth Fairs." Gendo said as he left the room.

Two Hours Later.

It has now been 16 hours since the boys have been put inside a cell. But now several Section 2 agents came and open the cell. One of the men began to speak.

"Shinji Ikari, you're free to go. Seth Fairs, you need to come with us." The agent said. Shinji was about to protest, but Seth stopped him. Seth knew that he had deal with this himself.

"Don't worry I'll be fine." Seth said as he left the young pilot. Shinji had very bad feeling about this, but during this time the alarm sounded. It meant one thing. An Angel.

Inside the NERV bridge.

"The target isn't slowing down at all!" One of the bridge bunnies yelled as Zeruel didn't even slow down.

"First wave of N2 missiles inbound." Aoba said. Soon several missiles were launched at the angel, and yet they did nothing. The angel kept going.

"Quickly get Units 00 and 01 along with Seth to engage it in the Geofront, they won't have enough time to fight it in the city...Unit 02? Who's the pilot?" Misato asked as she was traveling inside a train heading towards the bridge.

"Unknown, we didn't order it's launch." Maya said over the phone.

The whole city was unleashing a massive barrage at the angel, but the angel destroyed all of the defensive measures and protective layers in one shot. This was horrifying to the crew members of NERV. Misato had just entered the bridge.

"The target is entering the Geofront!" Aoba yelled.

"What's the status of the pilots?" Misato asked.

"Both Rei and Shinji are almost in their Evas. Seth is currently in the Geofront inside [F.L.A.M.E.]." Maya said.

"What about Unit 02?"

"We're unable to contact the pilot."

"I see, so she wants to fight alone."

In the Geofront.

"This unit smells greats. Even if it does stink of another person." Mari said as she got used to the feeling of Evangelion Unit 02. She noticed a small red object hand on her shoulder.

"Um who are you?" Mari asked.

"I should be asking you that. Man if Asuka knew you were piloting her Eva, she would be mad as hell. Anyway, there's no way for you to fight this thing alone and win." Seth stated.

"Fine. We can share this bastard Nyaa." Mari said. They looked at the falling city and saw Zeruel appear. It was menacing with its arm swinging left and right. Mari grabbed two Eva size assault rifles and began to unload a hailstorm of bullets. Seth on the other hand began to charge up his railgun, disk bits, and hands with red spheres. Zeruel wasn't even phased at all by the attack.

"It's A.T-Field is too strong. I'll never make any progress like this." Mari tossed away the guns and open up a new container labeled [Thunder Spear]. She charged at the angel and jabbed the spear straight down on it, but its A.T-Field was too strong and didn't even break.

"If its point." Mari said as she opened the shoulder ployons of the Eva unleash its needle gun, that was based off of [F.L.A.M.E.]'s. the needles didn't help, but Seth unleashed his attack and it help shatter several layers of Zeruel's A.T-Field. It wasn't enough. The angel unleashed its A.T-Field knocking both of them back.

Zeruel was about to unleash his attack, but before he could two Evangelions delivered a punch. Knocking the beast back.

"Shinji, Rei!" Seth had never been more glad to see them.

"Aniki, you alright?" Shinji asked.

"I'm fine. Come on with three Evas we can take this bastard." Seth said as they began a new assault on the angel.

Mari noticed that the three of them were having little effect on the beast. Even with three Evangelions, they were getting their asses kicked. She need to go to the extreme.

"I'll show you the power of an Eva that lost its humanity. Invert Mode, Secret Code: The Beast!" Mari said as Evangelion Unit 02 began its transformation. The shoulder ployons were torn off and the limiters inside it were disabled.

"Hang on Nigouki, I'll suffer with you...there it is!" Mari leaped at the beast in unit two's beast form.

"Move away!" Seth yelled as he saw the Eva leaping towards them. The Eva landed on the Angel's A.T-Field and started to shatter it. One by one it was ripping the field apart, in the beast state, Mari failed to notice the angel readying for an attack. Rei saw that she wouldn't be able to make it away in time, so she rushed to push her Mari away. With Unit 00 thruster upgrades it was able to make it in time. Both Units made it undamaged.

"Dammit were giving it everything we have and we still can't hit it." Seth cursed as he was trying to think of a plan to kill the angel, yell all wouldn't end good. They need another EVA.

"Seth I've finished the repairs." Blaze said.

"Perfect timing." Seth switched from [F.L.A.M.E.] to [B.L.A.Z.E.] and flew up above the angel.

The other three were fighting Zeruel and then noticed a something coming from above. Suddenly they saw Unit 03 land on top of Zeruel and using Seth's [Lance of Longinus].

In the bridge.

"Unit 03? That impossible. Unless, who's the pilot?" Misato asked.

"Bio-readings says that Seth Fairs is the pilot." Ritsuko said.

Back to the Evas.

"DIE ALREADY FUCKER!" Seth yelled as the spear was cutting Zeruel's A.T-Field. But something attacked Seth knocking him off of the Angel. Seth was knocked on the ground several feet away from the angel. He looked at his would be attack and saw something that shocked him.

"Yongouki. Who the fuck is the pilot?!" Seth asked suddenly he heard laughter.

"My its been five months and you've already forgot about me." Ichika said.

"It's you!" Seth said as he got up.

Back at NERV.

"Unit 04, who's the hell is the pilot?!" Misato asked.

"This can't be right. The bio-reading says that Seth Fairs is the pilot." Maya said as she read the readings.

"What the hell is going on?" Misato asked.

Back to Seth.

"Shinji, Rei, other girl. You three will need to fight the angel. I'll take care of this bastard." Seth said as he charged at Unit 04.

"Aniki wait!" Shinji was about to help his older brother, but someone stopped him. It was Rei.

"Rei, what are you doing? We need to help Aniki."

"Ikari-kun we have to follow Seth's orders. Come the angel is first." Rei spoke some sense into him. He knew Seth would be fine and Zeruel need to be destroyed.

Seth had out the [Lance of Longinus] and charged at the white Evangelion. As he thrusted the spear something blocked his attack. A spear much Seth's [Lance of Longinus] was blocking Seth. Blaze was beyond shock.

"The [Lance of Cassius]. Dammit he found the relic." Blaze cursed.

"Blaze what is it?"

"Seth, don't get hit by that spear." Blaze warn. Seth knew he could ask questions later, but for now, he needed to fight the fake.

Seth and Ichika's spears clashed and created sparks. The spears gave off some strange energy whenever they met. It was as if the spears were crying out to each other. The spears started to act strange.

Shinji was currently fight Zeruel with everything he had. The three Evas were giving Zeruel a beating, but whatever they gave, Zeruel just brushed it off. The angel's arms were the most dangerous part of the beast. It would handle massive damage and could cut the toughest of material. Shinji didn't let this stop him. He wanted to protect everyone and nothing would stop him. Especially some damned angel. He finally tore through that damn A.T-Field and was tearing off the Angel's face, but he ran out of power.

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!" Shinji yelled. Just then Rei's Eva also ran out of energy.

"Dammit!" Mari said as she also was out of energy. Beast mode caused her power core to be torn off. So it's count down started then.

In the NERV bridge.

"Dammit are all the EVAs out of power?" Misato yelled.

"Yes. Units 00, 01, and 02 are out of power." Maya said with sadness in her tone.

"Dammit what's the status of Unit 03, and 04?"

"They're still fighting. They seem to be equipped with S2 organs so they won't run out of energy. Hold on. Shinji's, Seth's and the unknown's sync ratio is climbing dramatically." Aoba stated.

"What are the levels saying?"

"Seth and the unknown's are staying at 250%. Shinji's just past 300% and its still climbing."

"NO SHINJI!" Misato yelled.

Geofront.

"I won't let you hurt anyone!" Shinji yelled as his eyes turned red. Suddenly Unit 01 reactivated. But the neon green highlights were now red and the Eva's eyes were red. Zeruel charged at the awaken giant. It started unleash its laser attack at point blank range, but the Eva's A.T-Field was too strong. The Eva now unleashed a massive attack using its A.T-Field knocking the angel back. Now the angel tried to get up, but it was hit by a laser beam from the Eva, the attack revealed the core. The angel now laid on the ground.

"I won't let you hurt anyone!" Shinji said as he moved the Eva towards the angel. As he walked the Eva gained a Halo. It had now awaken.

Seth and Ichika battle now came to a stop when they noticed a Halo above their heads.

"The hell- what the fuck?!" Seth said as he could no longer move the Eva. Suddenly his [Lance of Longinus] disappeared and Ichika's [Lance of Cassius] Flew up into the sky tearing open a hole above the Geofront. Ichika could no longer move his Eva as well. The other Eva that ran out of power suddenly got up and know had a halo above his head. Blaze knew what was happening.

"Seth you need to stop Shinji. Now!"

"Blaze what's going on?"

"No time, hurry!" But it was to late. Shinji grabbed the core of Zeruel. The ceremony began.

The core was torn out of the angel and grew very small, Unit 01 opened its mouth and ate the core. The Eva turned white and started to glow. The Eva began its evolution. All five Evangelion flew up and the door of Guf opened. Nothing could stop third impact now. It was time for this world to die and give birth to the new world. But someone stopped it. The [Lance of Cassius] came back and hit Unit 01 stopping its evolution. Suddenly a new Eva came. It was Mark.6. The pilot began to speak.

"Lilin not of this world. You need to leave." Suddenly two portals open up behind Units 03 and 04. The two units were suck up the two giants.

Seth was back in the void, but were would it take them.
