When Asuka charged at the figure, it grabbed her, twirled her around, and looked into her eyes...she would have seen...well, a blank slate, simply darkness, where its face SHOULD have been...

Its grip was strong...and cold. And generally it would have felt like it wasn't meant to be.

"So fair..." it said, and ran a hand down Asuka's face, caressing her cheek. "...but why settle for "fair" when you can be a GODDESS?"

Didymus had gotten up, and was slowly approaching.

"You don't need to take this, Asuka..." he said. "...you can be freed from-"

"Spare your sermon, colonel." the figure said. "You can't lay claim to a free spirit like this one. Gospel is lost on her...she chooses her OWN destiny. A destiny she can have..."

The figure released Asuka, pushing her back towards Didymus.

"Come on, Asuka." it said. "Don't you miss it? The freedom you had? Making your own fate, living by your own rules? There were always detractors, but they never were your masters. You were a GODDESS among men. Flames, hordes of zerg, the ability to READ MINDS. ALL OF THIS was yours to command, and we had so much more planned for you. You can either remember that, and we can make you all that and more once again...you were so promising. We can live up to that promise, and this creation will TREMBLE at the THOUGHT of you...or...you can go over to the colonel and just accept his ideals as your own, and live your life as a dull, boring, subservient housewife."

The figure paused.

"Come on, we both know what it is you REALLY want, and those ARE your only two options. You know, deep down, that's the best-case scenario if you stick with boy scout here. Or...you can be mighty and free..." it said.

"Asuka..." Didymus began.

"Quiet, you." the figure said. "Even you would admit this is her choice." it added.

"You're lying to her." Didymus said. "The Lord rebuke you."

The figure stepped back, but chuckled.

"Trying that stuff now? Don't want to hear what the lady would say to this, do you?" it paused.

"This is your decision, Asuka. Even your boyfriend there would admit that." it offered a hand to her.

"Come with me, and all your dreams, that HE tells you are BAD, can finally come true..." it said.

“Sorta. It's rare, and it's like comparing a BB gun to a laser gun between it and my Ultimatrix,” Ben answered, then frowned, staring at Rex, “And no, Azmuth would kill me if I let you mess with this. We just need to bring it to him, and he can build that science thing for the Yeerks.”

-Odym-

“Well let's go check on them, shall we?” The Doctor grinned, heading back to his T.A.R.D.I.S., “And my invitation extends to you as well Saint Walker, if you wish to come along.”

-Haven-

Galv sat down next to Melanie, pulling her into a hug, just holding her for a few moments.

“Whatever happens, we'll get through it. Lots of couples have issues. With us we just have...different kinds, considering our abilities and everything else. But we can work through it together...” Galv said softly.

[Ben’s Ship]

“Then let’s hurry and get back to Azmuth. I don’t want the Andalites coming after us if we can help it, so the sooner we get this over with the better.” Kevin growled, and he hurried to the controls and set course for Azmuth’s.

[Odym]

Sama nodded and pushed his hands into his pockets, following the Doctor and the others towards the TARDIS.

“I still can’t help but get the feeling this is only the beginning…”

[Earth]

Asuka took a step back. The figure was extremely freaky, especially with the blank face. She wasn’t about to deny some of what it said, but she knew better than to start listening to faceless shadows.

“Why the hell can’t you get this through your skull? I said to get the hell away from me!” Asuka growled at the figure.

The figure stepped closer to Asuka.

Didymus stepped closer to her as well.

"The Lord rebuke you." he said.

The figure stepped back again, and continued to step back.

"...this is your choice, isn't it? Or do you think somehow you're saved simply because you reject ME?" it said.

"The Lord rebuke you, In His name, begone!" Didymus cried, the figure recoiling, then vanishing.

Didymus was quiet for a moment, head bowed, before looking to Asuka.

"...come on. There's something I've been meaning to do with you."

He gestured toward the shuttle.

“I’m not in the mood.” Asuka said, shaking her head. She was shivering, and felt annoyed. She didn’t know what was going on, but she didn’t like it… she felt cold down to her bones.

Didymus paused for a moment, was quiet...and spoke again.

"Please, Asuka. It seems...an appropriate time. I hate to impose, but...please."

Mobius

Sally shook her head, looking over her display, hearing Sonic pipe up.

"Sonic, even YOU can't hold here for much longer...but you'll buy us valuable time. Thank you." she said, and began directing more evacuations...

“Fine… but let’s make this quick.” Asuka sighed.

Didymus nodded.

"Thank you, Asuka. Come along, please."

He led her back into the shuttle, and they took off, soaring over the planet, until they came upon a campus.

An academy campus.

They touched down in its hangar, and after some brief checking in with the guards, they walked in.

The campus was rather beautiful and well-kept, and statues, flagpoles, and buildings crafted with a traditional aesthetic but modern advantages were everywhere.

"Welcome, Asuka, to the Terran Republic Military Academy." Didymus said. "Yes, this is where they sent us. I can't say I was a "normal" cadet, as we Youth Commander people had a somewhat...different...training program than a proper or normal cadet here, but officially, I'm an alumni here."

He chuckled, and eventually led her to a steeple-topped building with a cross topping said steeple.

"Come on inside, Asuka." he said.

He held the door open for her, and led her into the sanctuary. Along the sides, stained glass windows depicting Biblical events in one part, others showed soldierly and more militaristic images from the Republic's history, or even deceptions of a pious soldier upon whom favor rested.

"Here, Asuka, I attended many a sermon, and said many a prayer...and was prayed for often. The chaplain, much like the Crusader's now, had his hands full with me, then."

He paused.

"Listen...I KNOW that you have trouble with personal things, but...I've been wondering. With all that's happened with you...all the things I've heard and things that point to one conclusion or the other, the things going on inside your own heart and mind and soul, Asuka..."

He took a deep breath.

"...and now, that encounter just now. I need to know, Asuka, and perhaps an open statement could help...but here we stand, on blessed ground."

He looked her right in the eyes.

"Asuka, I guess...I don't NEED to know...but I almost feel like I should press...if indeed you agree that this ground is blessed and actually believe in...please, I do...need to know. Or will need to know, eventually...so I suppose I'm pressing you for a statement of faith in or a denial of...that." he said, pointing at the front of the chapel where a crucifix had been put up.

Asuka sighed. She had a feeling it was something like this. She crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, letting her hair fall over her eyes.

“… I don’t know. I know that’s not the answer you want, but… my life has been one contradiction after another. Every time I’ve been truly convinced about something… things have gone horribly wrong. “I thought NERV was trying to do research for the good of mankind, and I was wrong. I thought that a Rebellion was the best way to change things in the UTR, but I was wrong.”

She shook her head. “… I want to believe in something…”

She sighed and stood back up. “But I just don’t know. After everything that’s happening over the last few years, I don’t know what to think about anything. I’m sorry, but that’s the best I can do for now.”

Didymus had to hold back a grim chuckle, in spite of everything.

The way she's framing it, the faith would be bunk if she started to believe in it...heh.

"Truly? Hm, I can't help but wonder, perhaps the reverend was wrong about the fountain after all...that...may not bode well, not at all..."

He paused for a moment.

"Well, that's what I came here for. I'm sorry for such turmoil in you...though...in this day and age, Asuka, believing in things can be just as tumultuous, even more so, even, than believing in nothing, perhaps...come along; let us go."

He was disappointed, but did his best to hide it, leading her back to the shuttle...

“I’m not saying I don’t believe, I just… it’s complicated.”

Asuka shook her head. She followed him silently.

"...I'm not entirely sure how to interpret that, Asuka." Didymus said, wishing, perhaps, to say more.

"...not sure if I can counsel you or what even, perhaps, you mean."

He helped her into the shuttle.

"...at any rate, I suppose it's time for us to head out. Or at least, I can take you to where you're staying-I imagine on the Crusader. Though...if you want off, Earth's a good place to disembark at. Though I will still need to attend some strategy meetings before the Crusader's off again, but don't worry, you don't need to come along to THOSE."

As Asuka followed Didymus into the shuttle, she sighed and sat down against the wall. She was quiet for a long time… and then she suddenly spoke up.

“Look. I’ll try… I’ll try to do better, or to believe, or whatever I have to do… I’m not happy with how things are. Between us, and in my life… I’ll try to fix that, but you need to just give me some room, okay? No pressure… Alright?”

"I...don't know what to say to that, Asuka..." Didymus said. "...I'm not even sure what, perhaps, you're saying...but...whether or not you believe is your own affair, ultimately. I can provide counsel and I of course have my hopes, but...what a person believes is between them and God."

He decided he should not say more on the matter; though his own questions, especially in light of this new information, still gnawed at him from time to time...

“I'll just be happy when we get this to Azmuth...then it's his problem,” Ben said, “I hope things work out though...”

-Mobius-

“I can go...as long...as the Faker...here...” Sonic said, breathing heavily as he took a step back, eying the Metarex, “But you know...don't try to pack...everything...”

Shadow faltered, a Chaos Spear sizzling in his hand, unable to fire it...
