Shinji and Asuka

Chapter 18: The Last Resort

Author's Notes: Yay 18th chapter woohoo.

In the past, I mentioned that I have portrayed the eva pilots with all their weaknesses and selfishness because I wanted to show that the eva characters are not goodie two-shoes; both of them are human. I also mentioned Aria was one of the hardest parts of the story to write as she was just being used from the beginning by Shinji – however harsh it was, this story was meant to have such conflict.

Some notes:

Ja wohl mein fuhrer - Yes my leader. However, fuhrer was the term given to Hitler during the Nazi regime and in the context this line is used, it is referring to that.

A note to say this is the rewritten chapter 18 (First rewrite – there are a few minor differences but it's mostly the same as before).

Important Note: If you're reading this, you're reading the up to date version of the story. If you didn't see this note last chapter, you were unlucky enough to have started reading this just before I updated all the chapters. It is recommended you re-read the previous chapters as some details of the story would have changed as well as the formatting, which will cause some confusion in further reading.

Chapter 18: The Last Resort

Shinji broke free of Unit 00's grip and ran towards Aria. Unit 00 decided to go after Asuka instead and charged at her. Being taken totally by surprise, Asuka did not react in time and was knocked over by Unit 00. Unit 00 then pinned Asuka to the floor. Suddenly, a flash came out of nowhere and the angel's AT-Field was neutralised. Shinji grabbed Aria unhindered, his face a mixture of anger and sadness.

Shinji looked at her and said two words, "Why Aria?"

"Because you're such a loser, what made you think that I would have ever liked you for even one second? I was just using you, because it was fun. But you had been using me too so we're even anyway" Aria replied cruelly.

"What about all those things you said?" he asked, taken aback.

"All lies obviously, but regardless I'm an angel so just kill me already. You are so pathetic I can't be bothered killing you. You humans will destroy each other anyway and that is far more fitting and enjoyable" Aria said, smiling evilly.

"How can you say that Aria? Did what we shared mean nothing to you?" Shinji refuted.

"Because I hate you, and to hate is to make sure that person suffers the most pain possible. Physical pain is nowhere near as painful as emotional pain. Hate never has a happy ending, that's why I like it" Aria said, laughing.

"Aria please-" he started.

"Just kill me! I'm sick of listening to your whining already!" the angel shouted at him angrily.

Shinji looked at the small girl laughing maniacally and didn't move in hesitation.

"Thank you Shinji, watching you suffer made my day" she remarked nastily.

Then Aria's face changed into Asuka's.

"What are you waiting for third child? You're such a coward, as always, you never have the courage to do anything. You wanted to rape me so desperately. I saw it in your eyes. Well go on, just fuck me and get it over with or do you lack the courage to do so?" the redhead mocked.

"No...NO...NO!" Shinji let out.

"Just do it, I know you want to. Hell you even know you'll get away with it, so what's stopping you?" she provoked.
