Editing Campaign:NERV Boston (section)

===Saving the World===

Eighteen Massed Produced Evas approached Boston from all directions. Unit 14 was disabled previously, but all other Evas, including Unit 15 and Asuka, were deployed. Nine of the approaching MP Evas were arranged in the Tree of Life, ready to receive Sonny in Unit 11 and begin Instrumentality, as previously agreed. The other nine were arranged in squads of three, along with large numbers of conventional forces, meant to dissuade any external interference with the Ritual. This was unfortunate because the primary source of interference was not at all external in origin.

SEELE's first clue that the shit hit the fan was when two airstrikes hit the Tree of Life formation. The MP Evas, alerted to the hostile forces, assaulted the main elevators in an attempt to recover Tanya and an Eva for her to perform the ritual in. In a protracted and bloody battle that involved an epic number of awesome rolls and an amazing number of fate points, the MP Evas were defeated and the Tree of Life broken. Unit 10 was completely destroyed and Evan killed, and Units 11 and 15 had suffered major damage, but not to the point of defeat.

During the battle, the conventional forces stormed Nerv HQ, and the Nerv Security forces were steadily pushed back until the invaders reached the bridge. But, just as the SEELE forces burst onto the bridge, they were all slaughtered from behind. All of the other surviving Nerv OpsDirs from the other bases, including a very badly wounded Misato (Fate point!), and Clint Eastwood, who had built a strong friendship with Rashiid after working on Evangelion: The Movie, had gathered together to make sure that Rashiid and the Nerv staff would be able to escape. Rashiid politely declined, stating that this was his fight and he was going to finish it.

When the Evas finished up top, Sunny and Asuka began to drag the MP Eva corpses into formation for the ritual to create the Dirac Trap, but David was called back down to the GeoFront as Rashiid noticed something fly down to Terminal Dogma. He, on foot, and David, in Unit 13, arrived at the same time to find that the door to Lilith's chamber was open. Rebecca had come down as fast as her blossoming AT Power allowed after Evan's death, with the intention of merging with both Adam and Lilith and becoming God, in order to bring him back. Rashiid simply opened fire. David also impaled her on his False Lance, recovered from a fallen MP Eva.

Rashiid then ordered the evacuation of all of Boston (all civilians and non-essential personnel had evacuated the city already), and himself boarded a VTOL. David also vacated the premises. Rashiid gave the go-ahead to Sonny, who began the ritual. A septagram formed around the entire city of Boston and some of the surrounding territory, and filled with ancient and powerful symbols. As the ritual neared completion, the beings below awoke. Adam, as the Giant of Light, crawled up from the ground, and was nearly free when Lilith also appeared and pulled him back down. Sonny's part in the ritual completed, and she Accelerated Territory+AT Floated straight up, dodging AT Blasts from Adam. As she cleared the periphery of the ritual, the Dirac Trap closed and seemed to shrink in on itself, until nothing was left but a perfectly spherical crater where the city of Boston used to be. The ocean began to pour in, filling the empty space.
