Well, after Tara threw her hat into the ring with her two Resident
Evil fics and just recently Metal Gear, I thought now would be high time
to punch out this story. Thanks, Tara, for motivating me to finally get
it on the list.
You've wanted it (well three people at least) and now finally it's
here. My first, and hopefully not my last, crossover. Metal Gear, Neon
Genesis. The Sisters of Destruction.
Please take the time to read the authors notes at the end. Thanks to
everyone who replies, I'll remember you in my will.
Metal Gear is from the excellent, brillent and masterful mind of
Hideo Kojima. Neon Genesis is from the sick, twisted and possibly 'on
good terms with Kyle Twilight' Hideiki Anno. The fact that I write fics
shows how big a fan I am of their works, working for no pay, which
should be good enough for them.
**Caution** Mass spoilers for End of Evangellion and the uocoming
Sons of Liberty. If you haven't seen both yet and don't wish to know
what happens in either of them, you might want to stop reading.
ALARMS SOUNDED AROUND THE SECRET SERVICE HEADQUARTERS OF NERV; the
special task force created to fight the invading alien creatures known
as the Shito. The man leaning across the desk preferred to call them by
their Japanese name, as opposed to what the people from his homeland
called them.
^�Shito. No, it^�s not possible.^� Hitting the computer screen, the man
cursed. ^�C^�mon, answer.^� The screen flickered to life, revealing a brown
haired technician.
^�Aya? Aya, do you hear me?^�
^�I^�m here, Kym,^� Aya replied. ^�What^�s going on?^�
^�An A-801 has been called. NERV is to surrender immediately to the
JSSDF.^�
^�Under whose orders?^� Kym was quiet for a moment. ^�Kym,^� Aya growled,
^�answer.^�
^�Lorenz Keel of SEELE has ordered the A-801. He intends to cover up all
evidence of what has happened here.^�
^�They^�re going to kill everybody here just so that no one knows the
truth of what^�s happened here? Tell SEELE that all the Shito have been
destroyed.^�
^�We can^�t. I^�m not sure what SEELE^�s motives are, maybe they^�re afraid
that we^�ll use the two remaining Evangellions to start a revolt, but
they^�ve sent the JSSDF and Eva units of their own to destroy NERV and
everyone else.^�
^�I^�ve heard of them. These MP^�s were designed to fight them.^� Picking up
a Heckler and Koch 45. Automatic, Aya muttered to himself. ^�I should
have felt doubtful in the first place.^�
Sisters of Destruction
HEAVY BOMBER AIRCRAFT SWOOP LOW OVERHEAD AS THE RADAR towers that
provided warning against an attack from the Shito were destroyed. Among
the chaos a sleek, large helicopter hovers low overhead. Joining them on
the ground are numerous armoured personnel carriers and tank transports.
Soldiers jump from the helicopter, lowering themselves down on ropes as
Hip, Blackhawke and Huey helicopters release troops among the infantry
and armour that had already gathered.
^�We^�re going in now,^� screams one of the soldiers. ^�How are you doing?^�
^�We^�ll take over all the upper compartments^�^� the infantryman was cut
off by a group of men who appeared to be the security force of NERV. Men
in black suits pointed automatic rifles at the arriving soldiers,
knowing that they were outnumbered. A Huey flying overhead turned to
hover over them. NERV^�s security force pointed at the chopper; if they
could kill the pilot and destroy the chopper, they^�d have a chance. At
the very least, it would cause confusion and buy them some time.
^�Fire!^� one of the men yelled. As the secret service started to shoot
the Huey, grenades flew out from the chopper, exploding in the group of
men who had threatened to attack. Body parts were strewn about for
meters, the only thing left of the group of men that hadn^�t moved was a
pair of shoes with two stumps that used to be legs.
^�We^�re taking over,^� screamed another one of the soldiers. ^�SEELE^�s
after the Magi.^�
^�Once we kill everyone, we^�re to blow up NERV,^� another man yelled out.
A thin, wiry man walked forward, a clearly visible insignia showed that
he was a general.
^�What about the Evas?^� one of the soldiers asked.
^�Only he is able to pilot the Evas now, it has to be him.^�
^�What are they planning to do? We^�re screwed if they activate the Evas.^�
SOLDIERS RUSHED ABOUT NERV AS EVERYONE PREPARED FOR THE JSSDF assault.
Men with Uzi machine guns ran to where they thought the JSSDF would
infiltrate NERV and technicians armed themselves with pistols and
whatever else they could find to defend themselves. Aya ignored all this
as he ran, searching each room he came across. His objective was clear;
find the first child like Gendou would want. Acting on instinct, he
looked around knowing that the Commander would want Rei safe, if nothing
else. Aya had asked himself why Gendou was so committed to her well
being. He didn^�t have time to worry about that at the moment though.
^�Aya,^� one of the soldiers barked, ^�get back here.^�
Fool, Aya thought. What can we do, they have Evas. ^�I^�m going to set up
an ambush up ahead.^� At least that^�s partly true. I^�ll help my fellow
soldiers once I find Rei. Turning a corner, Aya sees Gendou, who was
waving a gun in what seemed like blind panic as he held a girl by the
arm.
^�Speak of the Devil,^� Aya said. Gendou looked at him.
^�What the hell are you doing here?^� Gendou barked.
^�I was looking for Rei for you. Sir^� Aya added as an afterthought.
^�Get back with the rest of the squad,^� Gendou ordered, pointing the gun
at him as he backed away.
^�You promised to quit after this was over.^�
^�It^�s not over yet. Now move.^� Aya thought that Gendou would shoot him.
I wasn^�t even talking to you, Aya thought as he snuck into a room. Rei
wouldn^�t quit. She may follow orders, but she^�s stubborn. Anyone who has
survived what she^�s been through has to be. Aya couldn^�t blame her
though. She has nowhere else to go. Chewing his lip, Aya watched as
soldiers passed where he hid.
^�This is a country of liberty.^� Maybe not with all the soldiers running
about, but Aya had his mind set on going with Gendou to protect Rei. He
was just about to when he heard several loud explosions followed by
gunfire.
^�C^�mon,^� Aya muttered, ^�I^�m waiting.^� Hiding in the corridor, Aya hoped
to pick off the JSSDF troops as they came around the corner. Gunfire
sounded as screams of pain filled Aya^�s ears. Lying in front of a box,
Aya trued to resist the temptation to go and help his comrades, who were
obviously being slaughtered.
Just a quick look. Getting to his feet, Aya snuck along the corridor
wall, eager not to alert the JSSDF. If he could just sneak a quick look
down the adjacent hallway, if he could just slice the pie without anyone
noticing, then he could see what he was up against.
^�If only I had a mirror or something.^� At that moment, Aya heard a roar,
followed by the sound of rushing air. A jet of flame shot out, drowning
out the screams of NERV^�s soldiers. Aya pressed back against the wall,
his jaw slowly dropping open. Aya could hear voices.
^�Move, this way.^�
^�Jesus.^� Hitting the ground, Aya crawled, looking for some sort of
cover. The only hiding place he could get to in time was a large,
overturned wooden box. Aya crawled towards it, desperate not to make any
noise. If he could hide in the box until the soldiers went past^�Aya
pulled the box towards him, bringing it upright as soldiers rushed down
the hall. The box had to be ten feet high.
Maybe if I jump up and grab through the planks of wood^�It was a long
shot, but if the JSSDF couldn^�t tip the box over easily, they^�d most
likely pass on him. Jumping up, Aya grabbed through the top of the box,
praying that it would hold. Aya could hear footsteps outside, followed
by voices.
^�Just a box.^� More footsteps could be heard as troops surrounded the
box.
^�Can^�t see anything inside.^� There was a push as someone kicked the box.
^�There^�s something inside.^�
^�Any idea what it is?^� Aya heard a gun click.
Shit! Aya jumped down from where he hung and crouched down in the box as
the box was shot.
^�Hold it! It could be explosives.^� More footsteps could be heard as one
of the soldiers took a close look at the box.
^�I can^�t see through, it hasn^�t penetrated all the way through.^�
^�We^�ll leave a guard here. The rest of us will move out.^� Aya heard
footsteps move past, as he sighed with relief.
^�Huh?^� The guard took a careful look around the box, noticing a small
hole that one could peak through. Aya could hear the guard shuffling
close to the box, looking through the hole. Aya put both of his feet on
the inner board at the bottom of the box. The guard proceeded to give
the box a good, hard kick. Aya grinned at the yelp of pain the guard
emitted, stumbling about with a bad foot. Now Aya got up and looked
through the hole. Just the one guard. If I can take him out^�Aya slowly
moved his hand to his 45., raising the gun to aim next to the hole. The
guard walked up to where the hall went off to another corridor, looking
about.
It^�s now or never. Aya tightened his finger on the trigger, closed his
eyes and prayed. The gun going off, shaking violently in his hands
snapped him back to reality. Aya^�s ears rang as the weight of the noise
was confined to the wooden crate. He heard a muffled curse as the guard
slumped to the ground. Aya slumped back down, hiding in the box.
IKARI GENDOU FELT LIKE THE FATE OF THE WORLD RESTED ON HIS shoulders.
If Lorenz were to have his way, he would enslave the human race, he was
sure of it.
^�Have to get to Terminal Dogma, get to Adam.^� Bullets buzzed past him as
JSSDF troops hunted after him.
Hang on, Yui. Gendou had a tight hand on Rei^�s wrist, half dragging her
as he fought off soldiers as best he could.
^�Come on, Rei.^� Gendou started to run as the JSSDF regrouped and came
after him in numbers, Rei trying to keep up with the Commander. Gendou
turned and dove into a hallway, literally trowing Rei down it with one
hand. Rei lay slumped next to a door.
^�Bastards will be here any second. Rei, in the door, now.^� Gendou raced
for Rei, picking her up and shoving her through the door. Inside, Rei
looked around. Lockers, tables, and what looked like a bunk bed. If
there was anyone in here, she didn^�t see him^�or her.
^�Wh^�who^�s that?^� Rei looked up, seeing a man perched on what appeared to
be a girder built into the wall. The man jumped up, grunting with pain
as he grabbed a pipe hanging from the roof, lowering himself down. Rei
heard gunshots outside as the man slumped to the floor, obviously in
pain.
^�Who are you?^� Rei asked, showing no emotion in her voice.
^�I^�m^�I^�m not one of them. You^�re Rei, Ayanami Rei. Where^�s Gendou?^�
^�Outside.^� A flash of realisation crossed the man^�s face.
^�Oh, I get it. You^�re trying to start the Human Instrumentality Project,
aren^�t you?^�
^�I don^�t know.^� The man motioned her to come closer.
^�Come here,^� he said. Rei stepped wearily forward. ^�They^�re not human,
those Japanese so called Defence Force troops. I tell you, they loved
every second of their slaughter. Use one of the Evas.^�
^�What?^�
^�Fight^�them off^�aaagh.^� The man painfully tried to talk as red started
to flow from his arm, beneath the shirt he wore. ^�Here, take this.^� The
man reached for papers lying next to him and handed them to Rei.
^�What is it?^� Rei asked.
^�This is all of SEELE^�s and NERV^�s dark little secrets. It^�s all here.^�
The man gave Rei a disdainful look. ^�Don^�t play dumb. You must make sure
that no one gets their hands on them.^� Rei recalled how other people;
the two Commanders, Major Katsuragi, the man she was with and another
woman were like this man.
^�Okay.^� The door opened behind them as Gendou stepped through. The man
held his gun up at the Commander, and then just as quickly lowered it
again.
^�Double crosser,^� the man muttered so that Rei heard but not Gendou. ^�I
can^�t make a difference, not like this.^� He handed the gun to Rei, butt
first. ^�Rei, please, kill me.^�
^�Why?^� Gendou stepped forward, pulling Rei back.
^�No,^� the man said as frantically as he could in his condition, ^�hold
on just a minute.^� Gendou let his hand rest on Rei^�s shoulder.
^�He doesn^�t have much time left,^� Gendou said. ^�But we need to get to
Adam, now.^�
^�I know,^� the man said solemnly. ^�Rei, I want the pain to end, my pain,
my suffering.^� Rei thought about her suffering, how she wished that the
pain would end, and realised that the man was right. She slowly took the
gun off the man, squeezed her eyes tight and aimed the weapon at the
man^�s head.
^�Forgive me,^� she said as the gun went off.
^�I^�will.^� The man slumped even lower than he had, dead.
AYA PEEKED AROUND A CORNER, NOTICING A SHADOW COMING
towards him. He bit his lip and turns to run down the corridor. His 45.
out, Aya turns carefully into another hallway. Clear, he runs down
towards a door. He thinks of trying to find Gendou when the door in
front of him opens. A guard comes out, his MP5 hanging from his
shoulder. Aya pointed the 45. at the guard^�s face before he could reach
for his gun. Knowing that Aya had the drop on him, the guard put his
hands up. Aya kept the guard in suspense, keeping the gun trained on
him. A punch flew out from nowhere, followed by another. Dazing the
guard, Aya spun on his heel, building momentum as he lifted his leg,
driving the heel of his boot into the guard^�s neck. The sickening crunch
of bone told Aya that the guard wouldn^�t be waking up soon as he fell to
the floor. Sensing that the commotion would alert anyone nearby, Aya
rifled through the dead man^�s pockets, finding a clip for a Browning HP
pistol. With one almighty hurl he flung the clip down the corridor.
^�Huh? What was that noise?^� Aya began to drag the guard into a room,
finding a dead man in there with papers strewn about. He proceeded to
strip the dead guard. Recalling speculations of a gay relationship
between two of the top people at NERV, he hid the guard in one of the
lockers. Naked, Aya crept towards the door and banged on it, then rushed
into the locker next to the dead guard. Aya crouched down and dressed in
the dead guard^�s uniform as the door opened. Aya could hear footsteps as
what sounded like three men walked into the room. There was silence, and
Aya guessed that they might be searching the room when a gun went off.
Aya recognised the sound of an RC-P90 as it tore through the lockers.
The deafening sound that the monster of a gun emitted was as powerful as
the rounds that threatened to tear the metal lockers in half. Without
thinking, Aya knocked on the locker. One of the guards walked up to the
locker that Aya was hiding in. Pressing his nose up against it, the
guard peered inside, trying to find whatever made the noise. Seeing
nothing since Aya had crouched down, the guard inspected the locker next
to it. Peering inside, the guard saw eyes looking back at him. The guard
stepped back and proceeded to empty what was left in his gun. Before he
could fire, a hand flew out, grabbing the guard^�s arm. The two other
guards opened fire, the bullets slamming into their comrade as Aya
twisted the guard^�s gun towards them, firing the gun empty. As the
guards feel dead, Aya slipped a hand behind his back, pulling out his
45. and slammed the butt of the gun into the guard^�s neck. The guard
fell like a sack of potatoes. Aya looked around the room, finding a desk
filled with cigarettes and not much else.
^�Look at this,^� Aya said in frustration, knocking the full ashtray and
mug off the desk. ^�What a slob.^� Coffee spilt across a piece of paper
that caught Aya^�s attention. It was an old medical report written up
about something called Adam. It went on to say how Rei was part of a
series of experiments and how there were fears that if Rei had wanted
to, she could kill them all. It was signed by Akagi Ritsuko. There was a
second message attached as well, the person writing it saying how they
had replaced Akagi and was fearful at the power that Rei seemed to have
after she appeared to intervene when the Shito that was called Kaworu
invaded, and made everyone wonder what Rei was. This was signed by Ibuki
Maya.
These aren^�t good people, they^�re bad people. It^�s time that I caught up
with the good doctor.
GENERAL KYOSUKE STOOD IN THE OFFICE THAT USED TO BELONG
to Commander Ikari, lighting a cigarette. Lying on a table were numerus
papers, explaining events such as the Second Impact and the proposed
Human Instrumentality project. There were two copies of the report, each
read slightly differently. The first told of how the Lancea Loginous was
to be used on Adam to start Instrumentality, allowing SEELE^�s commander
Lorenz Keel to rule the world. Ikari wrote the other; which Kyosuke was
reading now.
^�^�where we will use Eva Unit 01 and Rei to take us into the ark known as
Adam. There, I will finally reunite with my wife, Yui.^� Kyosuke had to
say that everyone involved was nuts.
^�General,^� a voice crackled on the radio, ^�we have secured the second
Evangellion.^� Kyosuke unclipped the radio from his belt.
^�What about it^�s pilot?^�
^�She^�s inside. We plan to bomb it. You^�re orders?^� Kyosuke drew in a
lungful of smoke, held it, and then blew it out across the paper he held
in his hand.
^�No need to ask.^�
^�Yes sir.^� Kyosuke turned off the radio as he looked again at the
papers.
^�What was he thinking? Is he insane? He^�s talking about worldwide
crucifixion.^�
^�That^�s right,^� a voice said.
^�Who^�s that?^� Kyosuke spun around on a heel, bringing up a Sig Sauer.
Kyosuke was facing a woman, long brown hair tumbled down her shoulders,
but the only thing Kyosuke saw was the Heckler and Koch VP70 aimed at
his head, compared to the Sig which he stopped at the woman^�s shoulder.
She had the drop on him. Kyosuke knew this as he lowered the Sauer.
^�For those who have fallen for the truth,^� Kyosuke heard the woman
mutter before she pulled the trigger. The woman showed no remorse for
the man^�s death as she stepped over him, collecting the papers he held
along the way. The woman muttered something in Japanese as she went
through the papers.
^�General, you^�ll die with the Commander.^� Holstering the VP70, the woman
walked off out of the office.
AYA SKULKED DOWN THE EMPTY HALLWAYS, THINKING HOW HE couldn^�t elude the
JSSDF troops forever. Seeing finding Gendou as his only choice, Aya
ejected the magazine from his 45., leaning against a wall that led to an
elevator. Aya hoped that they would lead down to the area called
Terminal Dogma he^�d read about in the report he had stuffed into a tan,
khaki pocket. Glancing down the hall, Aya caught a flash of yellow and
white as it turned from another corridor down to the elevator.
Akagi. Aya quickly recalled a report he came across when he had a close
look through the papers he had recovered that told of how Akagi Ritsuko
was arrested for killing off Rei, whatever that meant.
What is she up to? Sneaking another glance down the corridor to see
Akagi fade from sight, fast, Aya spun into the corridor. The sound of
his boots scuffing against the metal deck made the scientist stop. She
looked tired and out of breath, but she had her back to Aya so he
couldn^�t be sure.
^�Doctor,^� Aya said, ^�we need to find the Commander.^� Akagi had a hand to
her chest, which Aya took as a sign of her years smoking and drinking.
Aya briefly entertained the idea of her having a heart attack when he
felt something hit his arm. He looked at Akagi, who had thrown a knife,
and thrown it rather clumsily at that. The knife bounced harmlessly off
Aya^�s arm as Akagi pulled out a gun.
^�You don^�t need to find anything.^� She sounded like she was on the edge
of hysteria. Recalling a story about a scientist like Akagi who had lost
her mind, Aya decided quickly that any sudden moves wouldn^�t be a good
idea. The two stood deadlocked; Aya frozen, Akagi looking like she was
ready to fire.
AYANAMI REI A WAS LITRIALLY RUNNING FOR HER LIFE. BULLETS FLEW over her
head as she ran hunched over, doing her best to run in a staggered
pattern like she had been taught to do in an event such as this. After
getting separated from Gendou, Rei had tried to get to his office, or to
the Command Centre, where she came across soldiers who were firing upon
a group of people who had surrendered. Rei wondered why she did the most
stupid thing she could have done at the time and sneezed as the troops
noticed her. They seemed to want her dead more than anything else, as
they had chased her through what felt like the length and breadth of
NERV, ignoring everything else. She heard the gunshots, saw that some
had to have hit her, so why wasn^�t she dead? All these questions, Rei
suddenly realised how tired she was and collapsed. She could hear
gunshots, as well as shouts that she wasn^�t being hit, but she just
didn^�t care anymore. Looking up, Rei saw a woman with long brown hair, a
woman she thought she had seen before. The soldiers seemed too
transfixed on her to notice, though, Rei guessed, watching as the woman
pulled out a handgun, small, but one she remembered seeing in a magazine
at school once. The woman didn^�t hesitate in firing at the soldiers as
gunfire whizzed past Rei^�s head. She saw the woman duck into a room,
then fire again. Rei saw something fly past her, a shape that she
recognised as a grenade. Rei watched as it was kicked further down the
corridor, the woman diving towards Rei. A canister flew from her hands,
creating a sound and light so blinding, so deafening, that Rei felt as
though she couldn^�t take it. She heard gunshots, several of them, but
she couldn^�t see, as everything was such a blinding white. She worried
that she might have gone blind the flash was so powerful. That thought
passed as she felt someone grab her wrist.
^�C^�mon,^� a female voice said. Rei^�s senses were slowly returning to
normal, her thoughts shifting from turning blind to who this woman was.
Rei had seen her before, with a man who she understood was a friend of
the Major^�s. Rei thought that she should ask the obvious.
^�Who are you?^� she asked quietly. The woman answered by pulling her
more, as if she was in a hurry to get somewhere.
^�What^�s more important is that I know who you are, Rei.^� The woman
adopted a brisk, businesslike demeanour not unlike Akagi. ^�Listen,
you^�ve heard of SEELE, right?^� The woman handed Rei some papers, her
head cocked sideways as they walked down a hall that led to a flight of
stairs. ^�What^�s that?^� The woman let go of Rei and crept to the top of
the stairs, listening.
^�So, you^�re going to kill me, is that it?^� Rei and the mysterious woman
heard voices, the woman reaching into a pocket pulling out a round,
green object that she didn^�t recognise at first. ^�The doctor, willing to
^�kill^� someone.^� Rei could hear the tone in the voice.
^�Get down.^� Rei saw that the object the woman had was a grenade. She
recalled how Akagi had killed her ^�sisters^� and did as she was told,
copying the woman as she heard the grenade roll down the corridor and
down the stairs. Rei had enough sense to cover her ears, watching the
woman. The explosion was so loud she didn^�t hear it; she felt it, going
through her as if she was in front row at a Metallica concert. Rei
watched as the woman had already gotten up, creeping towards the stairs
with a handgun. To Rei, it looked like the present she^�d always wanted,
with the JSSDF troops everywhere. Rei followed the woman, looking down
over the edge and got a queasy feeling when she saw what the blast had
done. She couldn^�t make out anyone getting caught in the blast, which
meant that either whoever the woman tried to kill had escaped or they
were vaporised in the blast. Rei shivered at this point, thinking about
what must have happened to her predecessor when her Eva self-destructed.
She slumped to her knees, hearing shouts and the ruffling of papers. She
then felt something on her shoulder, a gun, the woman held a gun over
her shoulder, butt first.
^�Take it,^� the woman said. Rei hesitantly took the handgun.
^�Who are you?^� Rei asked once again. The woman occupied herself with
reloading her own weapon as she talked.
^�Call me Bond.^� Rei lost the James Bond reference, trying to copy Bond
and check, a bit clumsily she thought, her Sig Sauer. ^�We don^�t have
much time,^� Bond said.
^�I know.^�
^�Take these too.^� Bond handed Rei papers. ^�They^�re on what SEELE is
trying to do, they intend to bring about Armageddon. We must find Gendou
so we can stop this madness.^� Bond neglected to tell Rei that Gendou was
probably just as crazy, hearing footsteps running towards them. ^�Go, get
out of here.^� Rei heard the footsteps get closer, nodded and ran,
hearing gunshots and the yell of a woman, who sounded like Bond, making
the sound one might make when they die.
REI!
After surviving a grenade thrown at him and losing track of Akagi, Aya
saw a girl in a schooldress run from gunshots, heading towards an
elevator. He saw Gendou escape with Rei after shooting at him. Aya tried
to get the elevator to come back up when heard footstep. Hiding in an
adjacent room, he watched, as the footsteps got closer. Aya kept a firm
hold of hid HK, tensing as the figure turned towards the elevator.
Limping, leaning against the wall for support was Akagi Ritsuko, whom
Aya thought should have died in the explosion, wild eyed and frantic.
Aya never doubted for a second that Akagi had been a woman on the edge.
It seemed to be a job requirement for most of the people at NERV. Akagi
seemed to be saying something, though Aya couldn^�t hear her. Through lip
reading, Aya could make out revenge, Rei, bitch and Gendou. Aya figured
it would be a wise move to follow her.
But how? Wait for her to go down, then go myself? Aya figured he could
forget that idea. He didn^�t know what Akagi was up to, but he had a
feeling that he should be there should she try anything^�stupid. All he
could do now was wait until Akagi took the lift down, then try and pry
the lift doors open.
MEANWHILE, SEELE WERE WATCHING THE EVENTS AT NERV UNFOLD, their
interest directed at the MP Evas that they had sent. Keel in particular
held his attention to the battle with Eva unit 02, the fact that a
fellow German by the name of Asuka Langley Sohryu was piloting was lost
on Lorenz, and he wouldn^�t have cared in any case.
^�We^�ve got a call from our European branch,^� said the Russian SEELE
representative, his bulk carrying through in his voice.
^�This is a most inopportune time.^� Keel sounded very much like the old
world president that he most likely wanted to be. ^�Put him on.^� A screen
popped up in front of the SEELE members, showing a man in a dark blue
military uniform. He didn^�t wait for greetings.
^�What the hell do you think you^�re doing?^� the man demanded.
^�And who might you be?^� asked the shifty Chinese representative.
^�General Waters, Her Majesty^�s representative for the United Nations.
I^�m here about the unprovoked attack on Japan.^� It was Keel who answered
the man.
^�Japan was ordered to disband a division of their Secret Service, a very
important and dangerous division.^� Keel spoke matter of factly, but
there was still an edge in his voice, as if he had a big chip on his
shoulder with someone. ^�When this dangerous division refused to follow
orders, it was decided that they have gone rogue, and action must be
taken.^�
^�Then let us deal with it.^�
^�The Japanese Defence Force had already tried to stop them, now it^�s our
turn.^�
^�Yes, I realise that. Take a look at what they^�ve been up to.^� General
Waters^� image was replaced with video footage of the JSSDF attacking
NERV, which looked to have been carefully edited to show the worst
brutality. ^�Don^�t you think this is a little extreme?^� General Waters
asked. The SEELE members seemed unfazed by the carnage that took place;
one soldier running from a flamethrower blast, JSSDF troops being sliced
in half by machine gun fire and NERV personnel surrendering, only to be
gunned down anyway.
^�Do you have any idea as to what they were up to?^� Keel asked. ^�Do you
know what sort of people they are?^�
^�Do you?^� Another voice loomed, followed by a man dressed formally.
^�American Secretary of Defence David Moten, I take it you wish to make
an example of Japan?^�
^�What of Pearl Harbour?^� If the American representative^�s comment was
meant to be funny or cutting, it didn^�t work.
^�It^�s in the past. Pull back your forces or we^�ll intervene.^�
World War Three, Keel thought. Armageddon.
^�A division of ours may well be planning an assault on the United
States, without our approval. We^�ve given them plenty of time to
disband.^�
^�Cut their budget, drug them, I don^�t care, just do it without
bloodshed.^�
^�What about you?^� Keel asked. ^�Do you intend to intervene?^�
^�It^�s my way or the highway.^� Moten cut the communications at that.
There was silence among the committee members.
^�What if they try to stop us?^� one of them asked.
^�We must do as God orders us to, as is prophesised. No one can stop us.^�
BECAUSE HE COULDN^�T PRY OPEN THE DOORS TO THE ELEVATOR, AYA had to wait
until the elevator came back up, listening to Painted Black that someone
must have had on before the invasion. It was the elevator he was in now,
crouched down as he waited to stop where Akagi was. A million things
went through Aya^�s mind at the moment. Maybe if he survived this he
could begin a new family, taking in Rei as one of his own. As cold as
she was, she was still a human being and Aya thought that she deserved
better. His thoughts were interrupted as a loud ping signalled the
elevator stopping. Aya crouched down behind the doors, anticipating an
attack. As the doors opened, he almost believed that soldiers actually
were shooting as soon as the doors opened, as if they wouldn^�t be able
to kill him otherwise. Aya peaked his head around the doors and looked
down the empty hallway. Clear. Aya stepped out, looking at the floor to
notice a thin trail of blood. Aya started to follow it, then started
jogging after it. Suddenly he broke out into a run, going through the
twisting labyrinth that was Terminal Dogma. Following the trail of
blood, Aya never felt lost, nearing some blast barrier that was open.
Aya could hear voices at this point, muffled beyond recognition. Then
she heard a scream, a woman^�s scream.
^�LIER!^� Two gunshots followed Akagi^�s accusation, and Aya broke out into
a sprint to see what had happened. Lying face down in orange goo was
Akagi Ritsuko, a gunshot wound that must have gone right through her.
Aya wondered if the bullet struck her heart, or if she had a heart at
all. Standing underneath a monster that looked like it was crucified to
the wall were Ikari Gendou and Ayanami Rei. Thankfully they didn^�t
notice him. Aya just watched at first, watching what was going on.
Gendou looked like he was molesting the young girl. Then he jolted
himself out of his momentary feeling of shock and reached for his 45.
^�So, you plan to destroy the world?^� Aya asked. Gendou looked up from
what he was doing.
^�Destroy?^� he repeated. ^�I intend to save it.^�
^�What!^� Aya demanded. ^�You and SEELE^�^� Aya was cut off as several
explosions, what were probably N-2 mines, rocked the based. Aya lost his
footing, nearly falling into the river of orange goo with Akagi. Aya
figured that he must have hit his head or something, because the next
thing he remembered was the monster looking like it was joining with
Rei. Aya had a feeling that he should make a run for it. Without looking
back, Aya sprinted back to the elevators, following the trail of blood.
Whatever was about to happen, Aya guessed that it would be very very
bad.
IBUKI MAYA SCRAMBELED ABOUT THE COMMAND CENTRE, TRYING TO find
somewhere safe after seeing her friend Kym slaughtered. Maya didn^�t like
guns, she hated them, she flat out refused to take one to defend
herself. But now all hell was breaking loose. Shigeru and Aoba did their
best to keep the JSSDF at bay, but she ran to where her computer was and
picked up the gun she was given before. Maybe there was no other choice.
Her attention went elsewhere when she heard the sound of machine gun
fire, very close by. Hiding under the table, Maya watched for signs of
who it might be. The gun used didn^�t sound like anything she had heard
before, this was obviously a weapon that neither NERV nor the JSSDF were
using. The sound got closer, accompanied by footsteps. She heard
something drop onto the metallic deck, possibly a spent cartridge since
there was a pause in the shooting. Then she saw a man, wearing jeans and
a denim shirt go by, he must have been the one helping Shigeru and Aoba.
His face was the look of total concentration, long hair forming a hood
around it. Another clip dropped, shouts could be heard as Shigeru and
Aoba conversed with the stranger. Maya could hear him telling them to
get out if they could. The man continued firing, unmoving and
unemotional. Maya wondered if he was somehow related to Rei. Then she
heard the most unearthly noise as the man stopped shooting, possibly out
of ammunition and making a run for it. Something very bad was coming.
AYA HAD HAD ENOUGH. HE WAS OUTGUNNED AND OUTNUMBERED, and out of ammo.
Now things were getting weird. Bodies, both dead and alive seemed to be
combusting, and most of the live ones seemed to freak out before they
died, but Aya had no idea why. Aya thought that it might be some
chemical weapon, so be ran to where he thought he^�d be safe. As he ran
down the hallway, he must have slipped in what was left of someone that
had combusted, as he slipped and fell head first into a wall. His head
hurt and he twisted his ankle badly. Sitting up, Aya looked at the
devastation around him.
^�This is bad.^� Aya looked directly in front of him to see Ayanami Rei.
IF HE WAS AFRAID, HE DIDN^�T SHOW IT. HE DISPLAYED THE SAME
lack of emotion she did as they both looked at each other.
^�Rei,^� Aya asked, ^�what^�s going on?^�
^�You^�ll find out,^� she said. ^�Do you happen to know where you are?^� Aya
leaned against the wall.
^�Heaven. Hell. I don^�t know.^�
^�Well, I^�ll tell you where you are. You^�re in my yard.^�
^�Your yard?^�
^�Yes, and I^�m the big dog that runs that yard.^� Aya slowly nodded.
^�I can well believe that.^� Rei smiled.
^�Everything^�s going to be alright,^� she started to sing. Then there was
a loud pop and a flash of white.
THE END

Author's notes:
So, why a Metal Gear and Neon Genesis crossover? Why not? I watched
the preview for Sons of Liberty and it totally blew me away. I suggest
that everyone at least try to see it. After watching it, I was amazed at
the similarities between MGS and NGE, particualy after playing the game
and looking at the adult and psychological concepts, like NGE, and
watching the nine minute preview to Sons of Liberty, which evoked images
of the JSSDF taking over NERV.
Does the title have any special meaning? Yes, Rei I, II and III are
sisters, and they bring about the end of the world.
For those wondering, no, Aya is not Snake. He is nothing like Snake.
He is just someone employed at NERV who is caught up in the invasion,
and the fic goes through the same motions as the video, with NGE being
intertwined into it all, such as taking cover in boxes and hiding in
lockers.
Why did I focus so much on the original characters, such as Rei?
These are meant to be referrences to NGE, such as when Snake meets up
with Donald Anderson\Kenneth Baker, and the woman I've included intended
to be a cross between Meryl, the woman Snake fights in SOL, Revolver
Ocelot and the woman we see with Kaji. Akagi is also meant to be the
woman who throws that knife at Snake.
What about SEELE? Again, this is a referrence to Metal Gear. Near
the end of Metal Gear Solid, Jim Houseman, Secretary of Defense,
intervenes and takes over the operation. Plus I thought that it would be
a nice touch.
Maya watching Aya fight was another referrence to SOL. Near the end,
Snake fights it out on the sinking tanker. The looks, the actions, the
terrific score by Harry Gregson-Williams, it was just so amazing that I
knew that I had to include it.
What's the deal with the ending? Well Aya figured that he could take
Rei in as one of his own. This was his version of Intrumentality. And
the question marks? You got it, another MGS referrence, and if this goes
well there may be a sequel in the works in the future.
My next fic is an answer to Flyz's challenge, where I'll be writing
a Ridge Racer fic. Hopefully I can make it a masterpiece. Bye for now.
You have been talking to the Millennium Man, Y3K. I'm out like the
nineties. Peace.
