Prologue: The End of Eva?

Gendo looked out the window thinking about all that occurred after the final angels defeat. He was proud of his son for standing up and summoning the courage to fight instead of running away as it seemed he always did. The older Ikari laughed at him thinking this because even though he was proud of Shinji, he would never let it show past his stoic mask he kept up at all times. "Am I getting soft in my old age because I would have never thought one word of praise towards that damn boy a couple of months ago." Gendo quietly proclaimed to himself.

Gendo had no idea now what to do with the Eva's now because since Shinji and all others decided the world was worthy to live in, now his late wife's ,Yui, soul will be trapped within Evangelion Unit 1 and there was nothing Gendo could do but wish his wife happy and move on with his life. He had loved her dearly and when she was taken from him he felt grief beyond grief and prayed that Shinji would be ok. Sadly Shinji ran away from his father and was eventually sent to live with his teacher, a man he hated only a little less than he hated his father.

Suddenly Vice- Commander Fuyutsuki , Yui Ikari's mentor of sorts, came bursting into his superiors office. Gendo took one look into his old friend eyes and he immediately noticed that there was something direly wrong. " What is it? You know I work to finish and I still must decide what to do with Project Eva."

The old man stopped in front of Gendo's desk and rested the palm of his hands on it so he could catch his breath. When he finally did he look into Ikari's eyes and stated " The Magi confirm that there is an unread portion of the Dead Sea Scrolls that you have missed. It states that when the 17th is defeated, 10 more will join the fray. Then we shall be tested by the devil himself... Lucifer. It seems an important part that we seemed to forget about doesn't it Gendo?"

Ikari's breath seemed to catch within his chest and time seemed to stop. He could respond with fear in his voice but he decided to play his roll and keep silence for a few minutes until he could think what to say correctly. "Nothing to worry about old man, we still have the Evas and there will be one more build for a back-up. I will make this come out the way I wish for it, wait and see" Gendo then laughed cruelly at the old man for ever doubting him.

" I know you are sure of yourself Gendo, but what of the pilots of the Evas?" Fuyutsuki said with a slight smile undaunted by the elder Ikari's attitude.

The Commander took a moment to consider this, it was true that there may be a slight problem with this. Shinji, although Gendo was proud of him for facing his fears and beating the angels, Gendo was sure that Shinji would never have that much confidence and therefore will always be considered weak. " Soryu is getting better and now once again has a very nice sinc ration with her Unit 2. Ayanami will do whatever I tell her because she was raised that way( note in this version Rei was never killed and was in her original state to watch the battle Shinji fought) Yet Shinji is a different story. He swore to never pilot an Eva again yet I think I can give him an ultimatum. Also it seems he may have some feelings for Rei so that should prove interesting."

" Hmm, indeed old friend, well are you ready for the real 3rd Impact to occur. Within a few years it is possible that we will be fighting with the devil himself...Lucifer. Do you actually think your son will do this?"

" Yes he will, I shall speak with him tomorrow about it. I will be you later Fuyutsuki ."

Fuyutsuki left without saying a word. It seemed that Gendo was pleased with this revaluation. 'Soon enough' Gendo thought ' I will be reunited with my darling Yui and maybe Shinji will finally be happy with his life again.'

With that Gendo continued on the plans to build the next Eva... It will not be the end of the Evas.

Authors note: I apoligize if it does not seem interesting yet and trust me this will turn into a romance. It will get much better later as this is just the prologue. I haven't even got started on the good stuff... Please review if you like and if you didn't like it please elaborate why.
