Episode 25 Movie Edition: AIR
Invasion By Substitution (Track5)
Japanese: Migawari no shinnyuu (g̐N) 

Misato and Shinji headed for emergency hatch 20 when three guards sprayed the 
two with bullets. Misato protecting Shinji was shot fatally in the chest, she 
then closed the hatch to prevent them from chasing them. The soldiers decided to 
blow the whole place and evacuated. Misato checked if the elevator has emergency 
power and was relieved to see that the battery power is still working. Misato 
asked Shinji to take care of himself and make sure to destroy Eva-01 when he 
boards it. She reminds Shinji that she will not be there anymore to send 
instructions and that he will be alone by himself. Shinji cried and refused to 
ride citing that he longer wants to ride Eva-01 but Misato again mentioned his 
responsibility and the importance of destroying the Eva-series, she said "Dont 
look back in the past and regret that in the one time you could have made the 
difference, you didn't". Misato thinking that there was no more time, handed 
Shinji her cross and kissed him in the lips that suprised Shinji. A kiss that 
last for a long time. For Shinji, Misato was his mother, older sister, 
girlfriend, adult figure and commander-in-chief all in one. After the long kiss 
she said "That was an adult kiss, Lets continue this when we get home" (Jap: 
Otona no kisu yo, Kaette kitara tsuzuki o shimashou ). But Shinji knows there is 
no next time. She pushed Shinji into the elevator and the door closed. Misato 
lost all her strength and she collapsed, as the blood pool around her gets 
bigger and bigger and with a weak voice she calls for Pen-pen and Kaji her last 
words was "Kaji, I think I did my job" (Japanese: Kaji kun, atashi kore de 
yokkatta wa yo ne) A ghostly Rei appeared and then the place ignited and 
exploded. Shinji was safe in the elevator, heading toward the Eva-01 as he felt 
the explosion from beneath. He knew that Misato was down there and has perished 
in the explosion. He checked Misato's blood stained cross and noticed that his 
mouth was full of Misato's blood and cried.

With only nine seconds remaining Asuka finally thought she got the last of the 
Eva-05 robot by penetrating the Eva-05's core and crushing it but what Asuka did 
notice is that none of the Eva-05 exploded when their core was crushed and this 
striked her as odd. It was this time that one of the Eva-05's lance came hurling 
toward her from nowhere. She stopped it with her AT Field but the lance changed 
into a replica of the Longinus Spear and penetrated the AT Field stabbing 
Eva-02's left eye. Asuka's own left eye flowed with blood and she ran out of 
internal power. Maya reported to everybody that Asuka has lost power and that 
the energy levels of the nine Eva-05's are still strong. Maya cried "Asuka, no, 
Asuka". The Eva-02 was pinned to the ground through the left eye by the lance of 
the Eva-05 that became a replica of the Longinus Spear.

Gendou was in front of Lillith with Rei, now fully grown with legs after the 
original Longinus Spear was withdrawn from it in the Death part of the first 
movie. Ritsuko was waiting near the edge just in the border of the Cross stand 
when Ritsuko turned and faced Gendou and pointed a gun at him and said that it 
is all over. She pushed her remote control and waited for the floor from beneath 
to explode but nothing happened. She set the auto-destruct of Nerv but CASPER, 
one of the three MAGI computers, did not allow it and when the realization that 
her own mother (CASPER) betrayed her, Gendou produced a gun and said how much he 
really loved her but Ritsuko said "Liar" (Jap: Usotsuki ) and was shot by 
Gendou. Ritsuko was thrown by the force of the shot of Gendou's revolver and 
landed on the LCL below the Lillith altar, Shocked at the thought that Gendou 
had the courage to kill her. Casper was the woman side of Ritsuko's mother 
programmed with in MAGI.

And the saga continues....
