"Then the Fifth Child isn't there?" " AT Field detected in Central Dogma!" " Eva 02?" "No!" "The pattern is blue!" "It's definitely an Angel!" "What?" "!" "That boy is an Angel." "The target has passed through the 4th defensive layer, and is still descending!" "It's no good!" "We can't cut the power to the linear motor car!" "The target has passed through the 4th defensive layer!" "Seal all shutters and bulkheads surrounding Central Dogma!" "We've got to buy ourselves some more time!" "Closing all bulkheads immediately." "All personnel evacuate." "All personnel evacuate." "SEELE has sent an Angel to us." "The Old Man wants to advance his schedule, using us as his tools." "Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it." "Unless man accepts and atones for his sins, he will never evolve." "We won't rely on Adam and the Angels." "We must take the fate of the future into our own hands." "Unit 01 will be our instrument." "Unit 02 has penetrated the armored shutters!" "Target has penetrated the second barrier, sir!" " Send Unit 01 in to pursue it." " Yes sir." "Under all circumstances the last Angel must be kept... from entering Terminal Dogma." "But why did the Angel take Unit 02?" "You don't think it's going to attempt to fuse with Unit 02, do you?" "Or will it try to bring about our total destruction." "It's a lie!" "I won't believe that Kaoru's an Angel!" "It's a lie!" "It's a fact, Shinji." "You must stop him." "Prepare for combat." "Shinji, you are late." "Eva Unit 01 descending via Route 2." "It's about to intercept the target." "You betrayed me." "You betrayed the trust I placed in you." "You betrayed me just like my father did!" "Unit 01 has reached the fourth layer!" "It's about to confront the target!" "There he is!" "I've been waiting, Shinji." "Kaoru!" "Asuka, I'm sorry." "The Eva series was born from Adam." "And yet the Lilin will utilize that... which they hate most of all in order to survive." "I do not understand." "Kaoru!" "Stop!" "Why?" "!" "Your Evas and I are composed of the same matter." "Born from Adam, I can synchronize with it easily... as long as there is no dominant soul, and Unit 02's soul is now hiding itself." "An AT Field?" "Yes." "At least that is what you Lilin call this thing." "This is the light of my soul, a sacred territory in which no one may intrude." "Aren't you Lilin aware that your AT Field... is merely that wall that encloses one's mind?" "I don't understand what you're talking about!" "Kaoru!" "Both Evas have penetrated all the way down to the final layer!" "20 seconds until the target intercepts Terminal Dogma." "If Unit 01's signal cuts off or disappears" "I know." "I'll initiate the self-destruct." "It's better than letting Third Impact take place." "I'm sorry." "It's alright." "As long as I die beside you." "Thank you." "This is mankind's fate." "Human hope is paired with sorrow." "What was that?" "It's another AT Field!" "The strongest we've ever detected!" "It's shutting out everything!" "Light, magnetism, sub-atomic particles!" "It's blocking everything out?" "!" "It can't sense anything!" "The target, Unit 01, Unit 02, they're all gone!" "We lost communication with the pilot!" "Kaoru!" "Wait!" "Final safety penetrated!" "They've reached it." "Heaven's door is open." "Then the Angel has finally reached its goal." "Get ready." "What's that?" "!" " What's going on?" " It's another AT Field!" "A field as strong as the first one has appeared around Terminal Dogma." "It's breaking through the other AT Field!" "What is it?" "Another Angel?" "Negative!" "I can't confirm it." "It just disappeared!" "Disappeared?" "The Angel?" "!" "Adam." "That from which we came." "Must one who was born from Adam return to Adam, even though it will destroy man?" "Wait, this isn't..." "Lilith?" "!" "I see!" "I understand now!" "Thank you, Shinji." "I wanted you to take Unit 02 from me." "Otherwise, I might have lived much longer." "Kaoru... but why?" "It is my destiny to live forever, though my survival will destroy the human race." "However, it is possible for me to be killed, and whether I live or die makes no difference." "Death is the only absolute freedom." "What are you?" "Kaoru." "I don't understand what you're talking about, Kaoru." "This is my final request." "Please, give me freedom." "Otherwise you will be destroyed." "Only one life form can be chosen to evade the destruction... and seize the future." "And you are not the existence which should die." "You need the future." "Thank you, Shinji." "I am happy I met you." "THE STORY CONTINUES..." "Sections 2 and 3 of the East Wing will close at 1800 hours." "All staff must vacate the area by 16:30." "Misato and Ayanami scare me." "Help me." "Help me, Asuka." "Hey, wake up." "Hey... wake up!" "Hey, hey..." "Asuka..." "Asuka..." "Asuka!" "Help me." "Please help me." "Help me." "Help me." "Help me!" "Call me an idiot like you always do!" "Hey!" "I'm so fucked up." "All access to and from Headquarters has been restricted?" "We're on First Level Alert." "That doesn't make sense." "I thought Kaoru was the last Angel." "He was." "All the Angels have been defeated." "If we're all safe, what are we doing on First Level Alert?" "What's going to happen to NERV and the Evas?" "I wish Dr. Akagi was here." "NERV will probably be disbanded." "I don't know what they're going to do with us." "All we can do is wait for the Instrumentality Project to commence." "So mankind, a race of flawed and incomplete separate entities, has reached the end of its evolutionary potential." "The Instrumentality Project will manufacture the evolution... of man's separate entities into a single consummate being." "And the Committee won't use NERV or Adam." "They'll use the Evas." "Just like Kaji said they would." "The time is at hand." "Without the Lance of Longinus, we cannot use Lilith to complete the Project." "Our only hope is to proceed using Lilith's only true offspring," "Eva Unit 01." "That was not part of SEELE's original plan." "Creating the Evangelion was the pinnacle of mankind's existence." "Humanity must evolve and shape this brave new world." "That was why we created the Eva Series." "We need not cast aside our human form... to use Evangelion as our own private Ark." "It's merely part of the process to free us all for rebirth." "The fate of destruction is also the joy of rebirth." "Through the sacrament of death, God, and humanity, all living beings will be united and reborn as one." "Death creates nothing." "You deserve death." "Mankind exists because it has the will to live." "That is the will of she who chose to remain in the Eva." "So, that's what really happened during Second Impact." "They're on to me!" "No, wait, something else" "It's begun." "We are under attack." "Transfer the left to the emergency communications systems!" "Use satellite feed if you have to!" "Correct." "What's the right side status?" "Negative." "All outgoing network lines are being systematically cut off!" "." "They're going after the MAGI." "Data up load from external terminals." "They're trying to hack into the MAGI, sir!" "Just as I thought." "Is it coming from the MAGI 2 in Matsushiro?" "No, there are five MAGI systems working together." "So far I've identifiied the MAGI from Germany, China, and the U.S." "SEELE is pooling all its resources." "Five MAGI against one." "Not good odds." "The fourth firewall has been breached!" "Locking the main database..." "Negative!" "The system is being overtaken!" "They've breached the next level!" "The back up system is inoperative!" "This is bad." "If they capture the MAGI, they'll be able to occupy headquarters." "Let me guess." "They need help with the MAGI's self-defense system." "Yes." "Report to the Second Command Center... where you will be briefed by Lt. Ibuki." "He expects the woman he abandoned to jump when he calls." "Arrogant bastard." "A Level 2 Alert is in effect." "Status report." "Good morning." "Tokyo 2 launched Special Order A-801." "801?" "NERV's legal protection and jurisdiction have been rescinded... and command has been transferred to the Japanese Government." "That was the only warning." "They tried to take the MAGI, but we've managed to contain the damage so far." "Ibuki here." "Dr. Akagi is currently installing additional defense programs." "Ritsuko?" "!" "Am I doing something stupid?" "The interaction between men and women is so illogical." "Isn't that right..." "Mother?" "Goura Ground circuit recovery 0.2%." "How much longer?" "We should make it." "Dr. Akagi is amazing!" "Just hacking into the MAGI?" "Yeah, right." "I doubt they're going to let us off that easily." "The MAGI was just foreplay." "They plan to launch an all-out offensive against Headquarters... and take the two Evas by force, don't they." "Of course." "We have both Adam and Lilith." "No wonder the old men are so nervous." "External feed to the MAGI has been halted." "A Danang B-Type Defense program is in place." "External access has been cut off for the next 62 hours." "Mother." "I'll see you soon." "Ikari has installed a Type 666 firewall on the MAGI's external feed circuits." "That's very difficult to breach." "Apparently we will have to forgo acquisition of the Tokyo-3 MAGI." "I had hoped to settle this peacefully." "Launch the invasion forces immediately!" "All units move out as planned." "We have lost the radar feed from sectors 8-17!" "A large detachment of Special Force Units... has invaded the outer defense perimeter!" "Two more are approaching from the Gotenba sector!" "After all we've been through, our fiinal enemy is our fellow man." "All personnel go to Level One battle stations." "Battle stations?" "!" "But they're human, not Angels!" "I wish they felt the same way." "What's happening?" "!" "Hey!" "What's wrong?" "Transmission from the southern hub has been" "The Daigatake tunnel has been cut off!" "." "Fire in the West No. 5 entrance!" "Hostile forces have entered Level 1!" "The west side attack is a decoy!" "If they're really after the Evas, they'll go after the pilots first." " Tell Shinji to stand by in Unit 01." " Roger!" " Where's Asuka?" " Still in recovery room 303." "Get her into Unit 02!" "There's no way she can synchronize with Unit 02!" "If they find her, they're going to kill her." "If we put her in Unit 02, at least she'll be safe." "Understood!" "As soon as Asuka's in there, hide Unit 02 at the bottom of the lake." "It's not the best hiding place, but it's better than the cage." " Where's Rei?" " Unable to locate!" "Pilot of Unit 00 is missing!" "She will be killed." "Find her, now!" "Launching Unit 02 via gate number 8." "The Eva will remain underwater at a depth of 70 meters." "Prepare to deploy Unit 01." "Station it in the Geofront." "We can't!" "Shinji isn't there!" "Oh dear god..." "Full lock down has been instigated, starting at Level 2." "All non-combat personnel must evacuate via route 87 immediately." "I repeat..." "The No. 3 underground barricade has been destroyed!" "Enemy forces have begun invading Level 2!" "There's nothing we can do to hold them off." "Our defeat has become inevitable." "Professor Fuyutsuki, please see to the rest of this for me." "Yes, Commander." "Give my regards to Yui." "No response from Level 2!" "Contact has been lost with control room 77." "Internal monorail track 57 has been destroyed." "This is brutal!" "I'd rather be fighting the Angels!" "Of course." "We're not used to fighting human enemies." "Sever the red ones first." "Level 3 Block B has been invaded!" "There's no stopping them!" "Enemy presence confirmed in Block F!" "The Main bypass is under fire!" "Seal off levels 1-3!" "Order a full retreat!" "Release Bakelite through all passages up through section 803!" "Right!" "Commencing Bakelite release in section 703, thirty seconds to completion." "Commencing Bakelite release in section 737..." "Well, that should buy us some time." "Major Katsuragi!" "Route 47 is completely blocked." "The third Unit is unable to advance." "Shinji is cut off!" "." "All non-combat personnel should avoid engaging the enemy." "These guys are pros, so if you can't retreat to Central Dogma... you're better off just surrendering." " Take charge of things here for me." " Right." "Mt." "Futagoyama has been secured." "This is harder than we thought." "We never get the easy jobs." "This is insane!" "The center wasn't made to withstand invading armies." "We can barely hold off terrorists." "If the JSSDF launches a full scale attack, we're screwed." "Slowly but surely they've been cutting our defense budget." "They've probably been planning this since the very beginning." "Very possible..." "Release the safety." "I can't." "I just can't shoot this thing." "Of course you can!" "You've had basic training!" "But I shot at targets, not at other human beings!" "Idiot!" "It's kill or be killed!" "Rei." "I knew I'd find you here." "The time has come." "Let's go." "Level 1 has been secured." "Over." "Roger that." "We are moving in on the MAG and the Level 2 Command Center." "We are currently engaged in combat." "Commence cooling of the Fifth Malbolgia sector immediately." "Terminate Eva Pilots on sight." "Execution of non-combat personnel has been authorized." "Yanagihara and Shinjo units, proceed to lower level." "We've located the Third Child." "Commencing termination." "Sorry, kid." "Nothing personal." "Nothing personal here either." "Let's get you to Unit 01." "Come on." "Roger that." "We have the purple unit surrounded." "The Bakelite infusion was not a problem." "Damn." "They're trying to prevent contact between Shinji and Unit 01." "We're running out of time." "This is it, Shinji." "Do you want to run away or do you want to pilot the Eva?" "If you sit there and do nothing, then you're already dead!" "Help me, Asuka... help me." "Hiding behind the skirts of a little girl at a time like this?" "!" "Giving up half way is worse than never trying at all!" "Get up." "Move it!" "I want to die." "I don't want to do anything." "Stop talking like a stubborn little brat!" "Like it or not, you're still alive!" "Get moving and DO something!" "You can die later." "Unimportant!" "Securing Terminal Dogma is your top priority, understand?" "!" "They've destroyed everything else, why don't they just nuke us and get it over with?" "!" "If we weren't sitting on top of the original MAGI system, they probably would have." "They probably need it in as intact as they can get it." "I just hope they don't use BC weapons." "Things could get pretty ugly." "That or N2 mines" "Speak of the devil..." "They aren't holding anything back!" "They're over doing it." "Why do they want the Eva this badly?" "!" "They plan to initiate Third Impact... using the Eva series instead of the Angels." "15 years ago, Second Impact was intentionally engineered by mankind, because it was the only way to minimize the potential damage." "They had to reduce Adam to an embryonic state... before the other Angels awoke." "You see, Shinji, mankind was spawned from a being called Lilith, just like Adam was." "We are the 18th Angel." "The other Angels are just different possibilities of... what we could have become." "Sadly, we can't coexist, even though we are fundamentally the same creatures." "Listen, Shinji." "You have to destroy the rest of the Eva Series." "It's the only way to stay alive." "The phone lines are all dead." "Nagano Prefecture, Neo Tokyo 2" "Yes, sir." "Missile impact was confirmed three minutes ago." "This Instrumentality Project NERV was secretly researching... trying to initiate Third Impact and destroy all of mankind." "The whole thing makes me sick." "Humanity is probably the only creature... capable of hating its own kind." "Well, then." "I suppose all we have left to do is destroy NERV Headquarters." "Should Germany or China begin re-development?" "No." "We won't make the same mistake twice." "Make sure no one can touch it for the next 20 years, like Old Tokyo." "Surface heat has dissipated." "High pressure steam discharges have also stopped." "All detachments' positions have been confirmed." "Dogma Level 3 and the purple unit are currently secured." "And the red one?" "In the lake, about 70 meters down." "We don't know if the pilot is alive or dead." "I'm still alive...?" "I don't want to die." "I don't want to die." "I don't want to die." "I don't want to die." "I don't want to die." "I don't want to die." "You're still alive..." "You mustn't die yet..." "You must live..." "I won't let you die..." "I will protect you..." "You're still alive..." "I won't let you die..." "You mustn't die..." "Please die with me!" "Don't kill her..." "I don't want to die." "I don't want to die." "I don't want to die." "I don't want to die." "You must live..." "I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" "Mama!" "You've been here all along?" "Mama!" " What is that?" "!" " Dear God!" "Mamma..." "Mama!" "Now I understand!" "The meaning of the AT Field!" "You were always protecting me!" "Always watching over me!" "We were always together!" "Mama!" "Eva Unit 02 has activated!" "Asuka is OK!" "She's alive!" "Asuka?" "!" "The cable!" "Focus your fire power on that cable!" "Even without my umbilical cable," "I've still got 12 thousand plates of fortified armor!" "And I've got my AT Field!" "There's no way I can lose!" "Not to you bastards!" "That loathsome Evangelion." "Once again, our plans will go unrealized." "It seems we'll have to fight fire with fire." "The Eva Series?" "It's been completed?"
