Prologue

(A/N: This is a NGE fanfic that was spur of the moment when I saw a really cool picture of Rei Ayanami and I had to write this. It's set in an alternate universe and takes place 7 years after the series ended [including the movies as well. Basically a ''what if Gundams and Evangelions had babies'' idea. If you want to know more, email or PM me. Enjoy this new fic!)

Beep...beep...beep...beep...!

Inside of a dark room, an alarm was going off on the side of a bed where under the bedsheets a firm calloused hand slipped out and hit the snooze button on top of the clock. ''Good morning!'' the alarm clock said cheerfully. The hand grabbed the clock and pulled it under the bedsheets with it. A messy haired figure rose from the bed, reaching over to turn on the lamp at the bedside. The light covered the entire room. The room resembled the way a room in an Japanese apartment would look like (but bigger) and customized: a large window beside the seemingly small black nightstand, a long American bed, a desk to the left of the window with a laptop on top along with stacks of paper, and a dresser next to the door.

The figure, now in the light, was a young male who had short, dark blonde hair on top and brown at the bottom. He rubbed the back of his mixed hair, violet eyes with a green tint narrowed from the sudden light. He also had a light tan that showed the outlines of a t-shirt. ''Good morn-'' The man shut off the cheerful alarm and threw it against the crimson colored pillow.

''Damn, I slept in again,'' he said in a tired voice. ''Cap's gonna have my ass again...'' He popped his neck and rose from the bed. He wore a pair of white shorts and a black tank top. The man walked to the door as it slid open and stepped out in the hallway. Walking into the open door to his left, he entered the bathroom. He took a quick shower, shaved and fixed his hair to show he actually made it up before going into work. The man looked at the digital clock in the bathroom that hung above the door as he pulled on a clean pair of boxers.

6:43A.M. Shit.

He ran into his room and threw on a pair of black pants, a sleeveless black shirt and a red jacket with yellow stripes running down the sides of the sleeves. The man walked over to the dresser, putting 3 earrings in his left ear: one red, one green, and the last one gold. He then walked out of his room towards the door when he heard a numb vibrating noise coming from the bag by the door. ''Crap...'' He muttered as he ran to the bag, opening it. He pulled out a blue/black Motorola W490 and answered the phone.

''Ah, good morning, Cap--''

''Don't give me that 'good morning' bullshit, Tamashii! You're 20 minutes late!'' The female voice screeched over the phone. The young man now known as Tamashii held the phone away from his ear. ''I'm sorry. I overslept...again.'' The woman sighed heavily. ''You know that we're heading out to Earth today. We need you in the Howlizter 4200 just in case--''

''The enemy attacks, right? Yeah, I'll be over to the base in a few,'' he said standing up and picking up the bag. ''Alright. Just be sure not to act recklessly like last time drving down here...because it's raining and I won't be at your funeral.'' Tamashii chuckled under his breath, opening the door. He walked out into the falling rain and looked up at the cloudy grey sky.

''It's not like the sky's falling, Cap.''

''If you say so,'' she said. ''So don't jinx us, alright?''
