Neon Genesis Angelium
by Jesakofedo
A/N: Welcome to my first real AU fanfic, the idea for which has been floating around in my head for a while, and now I finally have decided to write it. NGA takes place in a world similar to the standard NGE canon, with one major difference, instead of Lilim, we are Adamite(Not sure if that is the right term, correct me if I'm wrong) and and pilot the Angels against the tide of Lilith's Evangelion army. On a major note, I don't do pairing well, so there won't be any major ones for now. In addition to this, I sometimes have trouble with dialogue, so if you have any tips, let me know. I am very accepting of constructive Criticism, so please review.
Now shall we begin?
Chapter 1: Memories of a Waking Nightmare
Gendo
He stood on a walkway, suspended over a red Abyss, looking downwards at the curled form of the masked Giant. Yui was next to him, holding his son's hand, smiling. Footsteps echoed across the chamber as a woman, clad in a white labcoat walked towards them. He turned to greet her, but the words caught in his throat as he saw the splatters of red that covered her. Five eyes opened, Glowing red. He moved in front of his wife and child, for all the good he thought it would do. The woman walked forwards, her mad grin showing much to many pointed teeth. He shouted for Yui to take Shinji and run, when a red spotlight shone down on them, projecting from the eye of a cyclopean colossus, its body so large that it had to stoop to fit the ceiling. Massive blue hands, covered in chitinous armor gripped the walkway, trapping them. The woman moved closer almost leisurely, one hand outstretched, pointed at Yui, a red orb floating above her hand. He watched in horror as Yui exploded in a shower of orange liquid, and the hand was pointed at Shinji. He roared, throwing himself forwards, grabbing both of the woman's arms, and once again, man wrestled God.
Gendo Ikari woke suddenly, covered in cold sweat. Next to him, Ritsuko stirred, turning in her sleep. He fell back, staring at the familiar ceiling. When he at last fell asleep, it was fitful.
Miles away, under the sunken remains of Old Tokyo, something stirred, a pair of yellow eyes opening, then another, then another, shadowed creatures rising up, hundreds of eyes gazed up, looking towards the surface.
Gendo sat in his office, hands tented over his face, eyes hidden behind his orange lensed glasses, looking at the shivering long-haired man standing across from him.
"This is about Rei isn't it?" he asked. Shigeru Aoba nodded. "What has she done now?"
Aoba was about to answer, when a siren blared. "They're awake." Fuyutsuki stated, entering the office. Aoba looked somewhat confused "Who's Awa-" Gendo cut him off. "First Lieutenant Aoba, please inform Doctor Akagi that she needs to prepare Plan 108, Now." Aoba left the room in a hurry. Once Fuyutsuki had made sure that the doors were sealed, he stood next to Gendo, who pressed a switch on the underside of the desk. The desk, Gendo, and Fuyutsuki descended into the depths of Nerv-1, travelling in silence until the shaft opened, revealing a walkway leading to a platform suspended over blackness. Gendo walked forwards, Fuyutsuki trailing behind him, until he stood in the center of the circle, and waited. Two spots of light appeared, looming over the two men, and a voice spoke like thunder. "THEY HAVE RETURNED?" The pure force of the voice made Fuyutsuki shudder. Gendo nodded "Inform your siblings, the Evangelions have arrived." The spots of lights moved up and down as though nodding. "AND SHE WILL FOLLOW IN THEIR WAKE!" Gendo nodded once more. The lights moved forwards, and a massive metal skull, its open jaw locked in a terrifying grin. "THEN WE ARE AT WAR!" Zeruel announced.
A/N Thats it for the first chapter, sorry if its a bit short, its more of a prologue, the next one will be longer. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
