The MP Eva units slowly, but determinedly, descended upon the ground of the GeoFront and started folding their wings into their backs. They stood from a crouching position to a standing, revealing a faceless head only equipped with a huge, redlined mouth. The mouths curled upwards in a grin as the pilots examined the weapons the white Evangelion units carried with them. Big, grey and seemingly lethal, the huge swords gleamed ominous in the morning light shining down through the hole which had been Tokyo-3. As the pilots watched the white Evangelion units carefully, they saw nine black airplanes leaving the airspace, each of them numbered one to nine.

"Well…" Shinji began cautiously, "anybody have a strategy to try?" Asuka and Rei both shook their heads on the video feeds from their plugs.

"So…are we just going to beat them?" Asuka smiled sinisterly and nodded, the gleam in her eyes awakening again. Rei simply nodded after contemplating a few seconds. Shinji did not bother to give any signals, as soon as he got the signs from the girls, he charged head on for the unit closest to him. It looked up on him just in time to see the hands of Unit 01 closing around its' head, crushing the skull and letting out the brain matter.

Three minutes later, the Geofront was a slaughter field. To say it was a battle would be far too underestimating. One second a white Eva was hurled into a building, the next it was a torso seen flying through the air. The pilots let all their eventual frustrations out and went berserk on their foes.

The taste of victory was sweet to the teenagers and they allowed themselves to let their guard down for a second. This proved to be fatal however. With a hollow scream that made everybody's hair stand on edge in fear, the ground shook and the water boiled as the white Eva's stood again, their white bodies specked with grime, dirt, and blood and brain matter. It was horrifying to see the crushed, ought-to-be-dead Eva's stand again and grab their weapons. Shinji swallowed audibly and took a careful step towards them. With a deeper howl, one white unit hurled its' sword at Shinji, who could only extend his AT-field and used it to intercept the sword. Shinji's eyes went wide with fear and amazement as the huge dual sword was transformed into what looked like.

"The Lance of Longinus…" As if the sentence was some sort of a commando, the lance started to break through and pierce the AT-field to plunge forward towards the face of Unit 01.

"Shinji!" He heard Rei's voice call for him, but he could not move. The sight of the closing in lance seemed to be hypnotizing, a sort of preparation for death. All his muscles tensed and relaxed over and over. Then there was only darkness.

"You idiot, quit daydreaming!" Shinji looked at Asuka's Eva, standing before his own that lay on the ground. She stood before him, protectively with the grey Lance of Longinus in her grasp.

"Shinji, are you alright?" Rei's voice came and roused Shinji from his amazed stare and he replied positively.

"Geez…get a grip…we've gotta fight!" With those words, Asuka lunged forward, embedding the lance into the S2 organ of the Eva that threw it and got rewarded with the Eva shutting down.

"See, that's how you…" Asuka got very wide eyes as she felt the pain. Her eyes wandered down to her stomach, where the two tips of a lance stuck out.

"Asuka!" Shinji cried out as he saw another two tips protrude from her chest. And another two from her shoulder.

"Asuka!" Rei too, cried out with fear and sadness. The three Eva's who had thrown or pushed their Lances seemed to grin at them. But not for long. The smiles went away with the rest of the heads as Shinji and Rei smashed them to the ground.

"Bring it on!" Asuka's voice was weak, as she fought not to faint from the pain. She had fought with a clear 73 sync ratio, and this resulted in immense pain feedback.

---

The next thing Shinji remembered was floating high above the ground, Rei's and Asuka's Eva units under each arm. And a red Lance of Longinus hovering just right by his throat. And then all the white MP Eva's flying around them. And then darkness. Again.

"Ikari…it has begun…"

"Yes…"

"If not you control this by using Rei, you won't see Yui."

"I know, but it's okay. I can only hope that I am alive after the Third Impact to say that I am sorry to my son." Kozo Fuyutsuki looked at his old pupil who sat at the desk. He had matured since the schooldays.

"Yui never liked violence…I am violent…she has seen what I has done and removed herself from me. I won't go to her. She does not deserve me." Gendo Ikari looked at the remnants of his right arm and sighed.

"With age comes wisdom; with death comes clarity of the head."

"True, Fuyutsuki…true…with the blood of three billion people on my hands…Yui will detest me." Kozo Fuyutsuki smiled and put a tired hand on the shoulder of Gendo Ikari. A hand that comforted into the last. Then came the all-ruling darkness of destruction and oblivion.

AN: I hope this was not complete rubbish, and that some people actually understand why Gendo uses Rei in the real series. It is planned to end here though, I want to thank everybody who has, is and will read this for their support. Without their readers, authors are nought. A special thanks goes out to: Alucard180 for being with me all the time, every chapter, Shrine Keeper of Ayanami Rei for inviting me, you know what to. And there are a lot more people who should have thanks but I think I'd make the file size too huge. Thank You All For Reading My first fanfic ever.

And if anyone should be interested, I might write a sequel to this. If you check again in a few days (or weeks), you might see another story by me, I plan on naming it something along the lines of "Fate of the Lilim." Or something like that. Any suggestions of any kind are greatly appreciated and might be included. Thank You again, and all of you, my readers know who will be thanked. Feel good.

Keep Up The Good Work!
