Neon Genesis Evangelion

Hope from the Past

A/N: My attempt at crossing over Evangelion with Gamera. I guess I'll try with beginning with the eighth episode of the anime and see where it goes from there. Here goes.

It had been asleep for many years, born in a time where mortals were god-like and had technology far more advanced than anything in existence today. As it awoke from its ancient slumber, as if sensing a presence similar to the enemy made long before itself was, it felt something was off with the world as it existed today. There was more water than usual…and much of the land was submerged in it. Buildings, roads, vehicles and the like were all surrounded by aquatic lifeforms. Looking up, it could see something that…didn't belong, swimming around and destroying some ships.

If it didn't do something, the humans aboard those remaining, seafaring vessels would be lost to the abyss.

"Grrr," it growled.

Asuka Langley Soryu, the Second Child and pilot of Evangelion Unit-02, was dragging Shinji Ikari, the Third Child and pilot of Evangelion Unit-01 across the carrier ferrying the red Eva to Japan when word of the Angel's presence was made known. She wanted to show him that she was the best pilot out of every child chosen by NERV, and to do that, she needed him with her at all times.

SPLASH! The ship heaved and hoed as something large made the water shift around outside.

"What's going on?!" Shinji questioned.

"It's an Angel," Asuka told him. "That's all that matters!"

If only either knew, that was far from the truth.

Gaghiel, the Angel of Fish…was currently engaging some sort of…thing that looked as though it were made of the debris these Lilim created when they maimed their world. It kept bringing up its AT-Field, but the thing kept managing to get past it and inflict grievous wounds that kept getting it closer to its core. Whatever this thing was, it was demonstrating an unusual ability to bypass its defensive barrier, as though it were designed to do so.

"What the Hell is that thing?!" Toji Suzuhara asked, pointing to the…whatever it was that was attacking the Angel. "It looks like a giant Frisbee made of old buildings!"

"It looks more like a dome or mountain," went Kensuke, trying to film as much of this as possible. "It's amazing!"

The next thing any of them knew, a burst of ocean water shot out into the air, raining all over the ships and people, along with minor bits of debris, and the Angel itself had been reduced to bits. There was no sign of whatever it was that attacked it.

"It defeated the Angel?" Misato questioned, confused at how something else could've fought and defeated the Angel and do so faster than an Eva could.

"What happened to the Angel?!" Asuka yelled as she dragged Shinji over to the tactical commander, angry over missing her chance to show her superiority.

"Something…defeated it," Misato stated simply; she didn't know what it was.

Everything happened so fast, nobody could comprehend it fully.

"Shiest!"

Shinji didn't complain; whatever did the job spared him the pain of having to pilot.

Bling! Something on the deck shined nearby and got his eyes' attention.

Looking down, he saw that it was shaped like a magatama, only slightly dirty and a brownish color. But what intrigued Shinji was that it looked…almost as though it just needed to be cleaned a little and it would be shining like new, so he picked it up before anyone else noticed and tucked it into his pants' left pocket.

"I told you that transporting that toy of yours was a waste of our time!" The naval captain told Misato, angry over the damage and destruction that was caused to as much of his fleet because of the Angel.

Whatever that creature was, more were sure to come, and with them would come his true enemy that he failed to defeat in the past…but couldn't fail in the present because too much was at stake. Chosen to be the planet's eternal protector from among dozens of his brethren, he was the sole survivor, a living relic burdened with a responsibility his creators failed to do because it had been too late for them, but he could fix the mistake they made and preserve the world. So long as he survived, he would show why and how he came be…and would again come to be known by his creators…as the Guardian of the Earth and the Guardian of the Universe.

But first he needed to rest; taking out the Angel had left him depleted of most of the energy he was storing through the ages of sleep and hibernation.

To be continued…

A/N: Here's the first chapter of the crossover. I don't know when the next chapter will be up, but the poll that will decide what happens to one of the characters will be the primary part of it. Until the poll gets interests, peace out.
