It has been a normal day in the revived Tokyo-3, since the Third Impact incident, life had begun to return to a makeshift normalcy. Due to the threat of the unknown future, much of Nerv had been set back into place, including the four pilots. Following his return to life, Touji's wounds had been fully healed and he was reinstated as the Fourth Child. Eva Unit Four, Five and Six's reconstructions were initiated to be sent to Nerv in the near future along with the selection of their pilots.

On a smaller picture, Asuka and Shinji had returned to living with Misato, and their lives had fallen back into the same old song and dance. Including this morning, as Shinji had been the first to wake up, and was current preparing breakfast for Misato, Asuka and himself before school or work. No one knew how the day would change everything.

In another Universe, those events were about to take place...

"Target acquired, commencing destruction." The wings of Heero Yuy's Gundam flapped as it aimed its buster rifles at the Musha Gundam, a rogue machine that had become self-aware and was trying to end all human life by dropping a planet onto the Earth. The five Gundam pilots, as well as Millardo Peacecraft, used the remaining Gundaniam alloy left in the galaxy to reconstruct the five Gundams, as well as a new Tallgeese III. The six Mobile Suits set out to take on the threat to the Earth Sphere Unified Nation.

Musha Gundam robotic voice roared out into space, "Impossible, I will not allow you to deny me my goal. I will achieve absolute tranquillity, if not in this Universe, than another." The Gundam drew its spear, and in a blinding light, cut a hole in space, slipping through, only to be pursued by the pilots. Heero was the one leading the charge, "Negative, we will not allow you to escape."

The sky over Tokyo-3 turned red, as Musha Gundam's dimensional rift opened up in space, just above the city, and the large Mobile Doll escaped, using the sun to hide. Heero and the other pilots appeared next, however, the Musha Gundam had gotten away, and due to the travels through dimensions, the Mobile Suits were unbalanced, all six fell into the atmosphere. As they plummeted, each managed to get a hold of the other, preparing to land in the same area.

The sky over Tokyo-3 returned to normal, just as the five Gundam crashed into a mountainside, not far from Nerv. In what seemed like moments, but was in truth hours, the five Gundam pilots were forcibly removed from their Mobile Suits and taken into custody. Each kept in a separate cell to be interrogated by Nerv's director of operations, Major Misato Katsurugi. The first four pilots all gave their testimony, each story matching the other, last to be spoken to was to be Heero Yuy, the one who'd put up the most struggle when being apprehended. The Gundam pilot looked blankly ahead at the door, awaiting his fate, he'd assumed he'd be interrogated and then incarcerated, in which case he'd have to escape, he still had a mission to complete.

Shinji now sat in Nerv HQ along with Asuka, Touji and Rei; the pilots had been brought here in case those robots that had fallen from the sky were an invasion force. No one had told them anything other than that the robots had been brought to base and were being examined; all the pilots of the strange robots were being held in the brig and currently under interrogation by Misato.

Shinji looked over to Asuka and broke the bored silence they'd been festering in, "Hey Asuka, what do you thinks' going on? Were those guys' terrorists or something?"

Asuka turned to Shinji "How the hell should I know Shinji! For all we know they could be new Eva units that someone has created or..." She paused for second "New Angels..."

Geo Synchronous Orbit over North America.

The Musha Gundam floated though space, surveying the Earth below it. It was not its Earth. That didn't matter. It would burn anyway .Was this an alternated time line? No, this was a parallel universe. If the Musha Gundam could have smiled, it would have in delight. There were no other Gundams that could possible stop it now. Yet the annihilation of Earth would not be efficient by its self. It would need foot soldiers in the upcoming conflict...no, this extermination...

Interrogation cell 101

Misato had order the captives stripped naked and strapped to the chair in the center of the holding cell. She watched as the men shouted questions at the kid they had ID as Heero Yuy from his personal effects, safely from behind the shadowy one way looking glass. They voices where augmented by the speakers inside the cell.

"WHO BUILT YOUR EVA UNIT?"

"WHAT MATERIAL IS IT CONSTRUCTED FROM"

"WHY DOESN'T YOUR EVA UNIT CONTAIN LCL"

As she watched her cell phone blipped, as a text message popped up on screen. It was from her aide from the UN.

To: Misato

From: Susanne

UN high command has authorised NERV request to access the planetary defence network to engage and destroy unidentified Eva Unit currently in orbit over North America.

Good luck xXx

Misato looked back to the interrogation. It was getting nowhere anytime soon. And time was of an essence. She slowly got more and more ticked off as the seconds went pass, so Misato decided to take things into her own hands. More or less kicking the door open, she burst into the room and strode straight up to him, parking her face a few inches away from his.

"You'll listen well and you'll listen now mister. We know that a 7th Eva Unit- or whatever the hell you guys call them- came though the portal with you and the others. And we know where it currently is" That got the boy's attention. "So if you don't answer my questions now, you can wave sayonara to your friend cos we're gonna blow him to kingdom come!"

NERV Central Command

A sea of uniformed people work hunch over computers, busily typing and calling out commands to each other.

"Confirm secure data link to all global defence sites"

"All sites confirm secure data link Sir"

"Relay target acquisition data"

"Target data relayed Sir...all sites confirm positive on target"

A glowing blue 3D map of the Earth appears on the giant main screen hanging overhead. A yellow dot swims across the northern hemisphere, surrounded by lines data. Angry red dots pop up across North America and Eurasia, representing the missile silios, which this very minute are preparing to launch there deadly payloads into the upper stratosphere.

"Send launch code Lima Echo Delta Lima Hotel"

"All sites confirm launch codes"

"All sites standby..."

Geo Synchronous Orbit over North America

How amusing, the Musha Gundam thought, the planet is going nuclear...
