{{quote|The way I avoided that with ''Nobody Dies'' is that I kept it in a close, but alternate version of the canon timeline. But that was the kind of story that I wanted to tell. You don't want to do that with the setting - this is closer to ''Aeon Natum Engel'' than ''Nobody Dies''. You're taking the ideas of ''Eva'' and putting them in a more hard scifi/''Half Life'' verse.

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6313201/1 Ascension]'' is an [[Alternate Universe Fic]] crossover between ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' and ''[[Half Life]]'', written by rookie writer amitakartok.

Shortly after his arrival, he gets into the middle of several incidents which seem to be connected to a mysterious classmate of his, Rei Ikari. And what's the deal with those [[Humongous Mecha]]s built illegally by the Artificial Evolution Laboratory?

* [[Frickin' Laser Beams|Frickin' Particle Beams]]: upon realizing conventional bullets don't have enough kinetic force to penetrate AT-fields, the AEL quickly equips their Evangelions with handheld Tau cannons. These ones ''do'' work... but not much better.
* [[Full-Frontal Assault]]: {{spoiler|the famous Rei-exiting-shower-to-find-someone scene is repeated with a twist: Kaworu is on the receiving end and Rei attacks him with a sword}}
