Author's Note: You know the usual disclaimer stuff but some ideas are mine in this story. Big thanks to animefan29 for proofreading for me as he did for my other story. This will be my second story I have ever done in my life.

This was inspired when I was thinking of Tenchi Muyo series, Utawarerumono, and Evangelion anime and the FAR idea for a while and looking at Tenchi Muyo novels stuff I torrent recently. This x-over is no new idea but how to start it. This is prologue to how some things are connected. Oh before I forget Ken Sanada and Hiroshi Rara are from Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure and the novel stuff I found for those that don't know who they are.

This came out more than twice as long as I intended to do and I'm not sure if I should've spilt into smaller chapter. And if anybody wishes to modify my other story then go for it. The later part of it didn't come out as I truly envision it because I couldn't think of any idea to put it. I'm not sure how this will turn out but hope you enjoy it.

(I fixed very little here and made the bigger paragraphs smaller to read so it is easier on the eyes.)

Ken Sanada and Hiroshi Rara are scientists of all trades, who were not exactly friends but neither were they enemies, were exploring a large planet that phased into existence unexpectedly in front of them while they were traveling to an archeological dig in a ruin on a planet in the Kryios system. Noting that it was far and close from the sun to support life, they were passing by because a small malfunction in the hyper drive that forced them out of. After checking their communication waves to make sure that no one had detected the planet yet, they began scanning the surface, after sending a scout probe with specialized scanning equipment's to the surface for more detailed analyses, to find that it habitable and that there was a strange object in the crust of the planet emitting a powerful energy signal.

After directing the probe to the area where the object laid and began checking for any hostile life forms that could harm their ship or them for that matter. Next up on their protocol was more scanning, it has further revealed it was organic but the composition couldn't be identify and was as large as a moon.

Suddenly the probe's scanning equipment started failing when scanning an area around the object near some ruins while they command it to look for any entrance. But the weird thing was that it works fine after clearing a certain amount of area. Seeing that closer examination was needed, and that their curiosity for the unknown of this mysterious object was getting the better of them, started their descent to the planet.

After descending into the atmosphere with little trouble, they saw an almost undisturbed land with few ruins and some old abandoned village around the edge of area of the object as if some force was preventing any settlement on the area where the object laid. Even some of the local wildlife didn't dare stayed long according the scan's readout as it continue to give second by second account of the area. In fact, a lot of the wildlife was currently vacating the area as if sensing something about to happen.

"Isn't this starting to scare you Rara?" Ken spoke out suddenly with a little fright entering his voice as he zoom in on some animal along with other fleeing their home in a hurry.

Startled a little by the sudden question, Hiroshi turned to Senada. "I… don't think that would fit with what happening so far and everything seem, oh I don't know really bizarre." He replied more with confusion than fear but scared none the less.

"Well nothing will be done if we chicken out at this point and I'm not risking anybody else discovering this planet or anything else here and take credit for any discovery made." Ken Senada said with conviction and determination but the fear was still evident by his slightly shaking legs.

Both decided to continue with their exploration and landed near the ruin in the area where the probe had problems. Quickly gathering some volunteers and arming themselves with weaponry and equipment, they exited the ship and headed towards the ruin. It looked like it had been abandoned for ages as evidenced by the vegetation growing from the ground to the tallest point of the two story building. Whatever purpose this ruin was built for was lost to time because any evidence of stone sculpture markings had been worn off and couldn't be made out with their eyes as they entered what appeared to be a gathering area to welcome visitors. Any attempts to scan with the scanning equipment proved difficult because they were experiencing the same problem as the probe and started feeling more unease and fear among themselves and their crews as they couldn't understand why.

They decided to enter further despite their equipment malfunctioning and venture deeper to what appeared to be a place for prayer. This was confirmed as a lower level employee decided to bare his arms as fright got the better of him and yelled in fright. Everyone turned to look where the yell originated from and heard the distinct clicking of the gun but was not firing near one of the pillar in the room from their scared colleague.

Next thing everyone notices is a pack of slim creatures with blue tipped wing like ears and two tails with the same feature run into a hole in the wall to escape out of fright of these intruders (1). Seeing that he was ok, everyone was wondering what will appear next and ask him why his weapon is malfunctioning or if his safety is still on which he reply was new and working before exiting the ship. Senada decided to check the energy weapons and tell everyone to see if theirs was working which everyone replied that their weapons are unresponsive even with a fresh energy pack. Now everyone was starting to get worried by this point and more so as another employee said that that he just checked the rest of the equipment and told everyone that only the cameras and lights were working properly.

"Well this doesn't make any sense at all and I'm starting to think something is doing this on purpose." Rara said with fright and a little paranoia as he saw a portion of a wall in the back of ruin disappear as if it was never there in the first place. "Even though I'm a scientist, I'm starting to think that this place is haunted."

"We can't back down now but I'm certain that we're safe as strange as that sounds now." Senada said with conviction and certainty. "Everyone listen up; take everything but the cameras and lights back to the ship, all of you but three people to come along with Rara and me to film anything we see as proof and research and to claim any discoveries. While we're exploring keep the ship ready for launch and for anything coming our way, those coming with us should be on guard just in case things go wrong." Senada's orders were carried out and three volunteers picked up the lighting and camera equipment's to bring with and those that were leaving were glad to be going back to the ship.

The stairs that appeared seemed old but well preserved which lead down and no form of lighting was present for the stair as they continue downward. While they were heading down, their sense of direction was telling them that they were going towards the object. It seemed like they were walking for hours on end till they got to the end and were perplexed. Why would anybody build a stairway to a dead end was everybody's question. Upon closer examination, they noticed it was probably the object's surface, was spherical and made out of a black rubbery flesh like material at first glance. It looked organic yet at the same time metallic and seamless.

Having discussed their observation for a while, someone asked who going to touch it. Rara was first to approach and try to touch the surface, it felt warm and their observation discussion was confirmed before he yelped and fell back as the surface started moving and receded out from where he touch and light shined through and temporarily blinded them. After their eyes adjusted, what they saw was something you would expect to see in a Jurian Treeship. It was an underground paradise with forests, rivers, plains, a few waterfalls, two lakes and what was more amazing was that sunlight shining through as if the layers of earth and dome surface wasn't there. A fully contained and self-sufficient eco-system is exactly what they were seeing on a practical scale by normal mean in an advanced enough civilization.

There were creatures of all kinds imaginable, some even defying belief but that was of little concern at the moment because there was a white temple, in the shape of two pyramids with the second somehow floating above just inches above the first upside down, of a sort that was organic as the outside with gold like pictures and words that stood out of the building. It was too far to make out what it was and until now they hadn't noticed a rocky path leading from the entrance to the forest below. The path was rock solid and newly made as if something was expecting them. So far everything seemed bizarre but now it was frighteningly weird and bizarre, but they couldn't back down now not after seeing this.

Proceeding to the temple took a while but they saw many wonders along the way. Strange and beautiful creatures and plant life growing, thriving and was breathe taking. While along the way, they had some close encounters with the local wildlife that were curious and some plant life that were alive and some that were carnivorous, with a small rain shower that came out of nowhere surprise them. Finally they reached the center and saw that it was in very good shape and doesn't look like any wild life of any kind had ever approached the door by how clean it is. There was evidence that many came and made nests here and there but nothing near the door whatsoever.

There were paintings, symbols, and markings all over the temple the likes of which Ken and Hiroshi had never seen before in all their studies. And on the center there is a mural depicting two large trees and four beings. They were the most prominent and interesting part but were worn by the atmosphere and weather so no details can be made out. Unfortunately parts of the mural were either faded or completely missing; forever shrouding its meaning in mystery, but that just increased the explorers wonder. The entrance of the temple was open but there was no sign of anything having ever traveled through it. Even the creatures of the object didn't try to venture within. After half an hour of observation, they noted that there was some force whether natural or artificial that kept the creatures from going in, as if they're not permitted to enter.

They already knew that there are sentient beings on the planet, but they were primitive and also seemed to lack the ability to enter the object. So they couldn't have been the ones to create it as far as they can see. Though they appear like them except with various type of furry like ears and tails and a few that looked normal but have wings that they saw while descending to the planet. Something told them they weren't meant to walk into the object of their current interest.

Ken and Hiroshi entered the temple and the interior was something to see. What looked like a building made entirely of organic tissue with hallways, bridges and even an elevator to boot. There were even symbols like the ones outside on the floors, doors, elevators, and even some on the ceilings. In this sense, they had never seen or read anything like this. Most ruins are either something that life forms from the planet itself made from stone and metal or are linked to Jurain ruins.

There were metallic objects but the items were things normally seen in any advanced civilizations like computers and machinery but were integrated with the organic structure in ways never seen before. The organic substance was something like a mix of plant and flesh but didn't look grotesque but neither was it beautiful. To them this was like a gold mine. Further exploration with the help of automatic mapping robots brought with them kept them from getting lost was another thing that wasn't affected by the place. Walking through the temple and seeing it made them think for some odd reason that this was almost as old as the universe and that frightened them to the core. But the desire for the unknown and knowledge was overwhelming.

There were many rooms of a type normally seen only in research facilities. A few rooms that look like sleeping quarters and recreation rooms filled with some of the plant from above with artificial light of some sort for them. There was even a large pool in an even larger room filled with sea life that can be probably be observe if the large staircase was any indication in back of the room. Several rooms were what appeared to be greenhouse was present and were most likely research lab on plant life. There were other doors but were closed with a strange energy eye force field security system. Passing by these eye doors was unnerving to say the least and they could swear that something was watching them even though they didn't move at all. (Think of the eye made during Third Impact when the Geofront rises.)

In their study of the strange place they noticed that the further in they traveled the better it was preserved. In one dark large room they found what looked like glowing DNA strands and words that possibly described the genetic codes or something of the sort on all 4 sides of the walls. Both the floor and ceiling also contain some sort diagram that was dimly glowing but couldn't even begin to guess what it was. Overall the whole exploration was astounding. Magnificent yet eerie all at the same time.

Soon they came across a large set of doors and it was something to behold as it show the mural from before but larger with the same two trees and four beings depicted on its surface. They were so excited, now that they have the same mural like the one above except with more detail. They already knew from their studies of this object that they're not related to the Trees of Jurai but the trees depicted were from a time more ancient than them since there are no records of anything like this ever discovered to date. Plus a planet popping out of nowhere and the energy to even attempt a teleportation is to date beyond the power of Jurai or any current science technology.

The mural showed one large male being holding a fruit and projecting an aura of power on the left holding a small tree, and on the right was a smaller figure about their size that was also holding a fruit and a book like object. The tree and book represent something but at this point the scientists are more interested in the overall picture than the meaning. They noticed another large being, female this time, next to the small one holding her pregnant belly. Both large beings had a seed encased in a tree on the male's side and a book on the female side. The middle of both doors each has a large tree with the same tree and book in them on their respective side and the beings were standing next to their tree.

Between the trees was a being that is holding both the fruit of the male and the book of the female on the side of their respective being. Rara hypothesized that the center being could possible represent the creator of the two large beings and their items. A second part of the mural near the top showed the center being standing before a field of sphere which resembled planets, and with it hands was scattering books and fruit as if they were sowing seeds to be planted in the stars. All the beings were overall featureless humanoid life forms so nothing could be linked to what race they are and a space below the center being was empty of anything.

After recording every inch the scientist touched it to see if there was some mechanism to open the doors. Nothing seems odd or out of place, pressing the mural where they could reach didn't work till Rara tried the empty space. After the center was touched everyone swore several years were scared out of them as some sort of eye appeared and looked them over as if it was alive and analyzing them. As suddenly as it came it left with a small heart pulse and energy ring passing over the empty space. What appeared was a purple glowing round relic that shows a bright blue sapling being cradle by another tree with small little sparkles floating about it. And another pair of hands hovering above from the center being and the relic in a gesture of waiting and hoping something come from the planets like a farmer waiting for the crops to bear fruit. The sapling was surrounded by a flame or something but no one could be sure if that is what it truly was; the glow was also reaching to the roots of the two trees that were near the relic.

All of a sudden, the relic was coming out of the slot it was in but no one dare try to catch it as it fell. As it hit the ground and settle like a coin would, it burst into liquid and the same purple glow appeared and it started moving back towards where they came from. Everyone was apprehensive about following the strange purple liquid back from where they just come from a while ago.

They ventured back a bit after the glowing liquid when it stopped and started moving up the wall then the ceiling. It stopped at a circular slot they missed and reformed back into the relic. A sudden flash blinded everyone for a few seconds and then they notice an odd door appeared that had many strange diagrams that were covered in vein-like organic vines hanging from the almost living ceiling. They approached the door and it glowed and once again the eye appears and disappears and opened as if it recognizes them. At this moment everyone was starting to get paranoid from what been happening so far and were starting to lose it a little and they notice that the relic was gone and nowhere in sight.

They were convinced that this place is either alive or something was still here in the now apparent science facility. Whoever was here seemed intent on leading them somewhere in this strange place. The room was probably pressurized because as it opened, a rush of air hit them. As it passed them they could hear breathing coming from within and they became frightened thinking that there was something very large and alive in there and possibly hungry.

Despite their fears, they moved forward and saw many strange and odd devices stationed around a very large room so large that they couldn't see the end even as the overhead lights turned on. As they got further into the room they saw many horrible things. Things like organs of all sizes and shapes in strange orange liquid in different types of containment. Not only were there internal organs but eyes, ears, skeletons and limbs were also everywhere, like they were being manufactured for something. The sounds of breathing came from a few of the lung-like organs in some of the tubes but the loudest one came from above. It looks exactly like a lung except that it was monstrous and looks like it was alive as it moves. It must have been providing oxygen or something to the veins leading to the tubes and keeping the liquid clear.

They continue onward and saw something they thought they never see. There were incomplete creatures suspended by the organic machinery in the air to the side of the large room and below them they see the beginning of smaller but still quite large creatures. Nothing seemed alive or moving as if the place was either abandoned or suspended in time, other than the lung that probably kept providing clean air through the place.

They would have continued but the floor started glowing that color again and pulsated, then that glowing liquid appeared and started flowing to a door on the other side of the room. This time it went through the door as if it wasn't there and it opened as if the place was guiding them to something. Before they got near it the security eye came and words and symbols starting flash all around it till the number two appear and float before with two circle showing on the ground. It was obvious that only two people are permitted to enter the next room. Senada and Rara quickly took the spot despite the protests of the others. They stepped in the circles as two rings materialize above them and started downward and they guess it was to scan them for something. It seem they pass whatever criteria there was because the camera seem allow pass this point and behind them appear some kind of double helix guard wall with several eye appearing to keep everyone from entering after them.

As they entered the room they noticed right away the symbols all around the room as seen in that one room from before. But that was nothing compared to the feeling of the room. Something primal was flowing through the room and they were frightened, but at the same time protected and soothing. Another was that there were what appeared to be nests of some sort on the ground with mummified fetuses and skeleton of something everywhere and what looked like glass. Near the back of the room where the glow was leading to was one that remained intact and floating suspended in liquid of some kind in a half capsule above the nest. It looked like a fetus if a little strange.

All of a sudden the glow concentrated around the nest and something appeared from the floor. It looks like a DNA strand but moving and it lifted the nest and then solidified into a metallic flotation device that strangely resemble some of their technology as if the earlier scan were more for what they knew. They couldn't believe their own eyes. They were starting to think that this whole was a nightmare and that they were slowing going insane. It was just floating there, waiting for them to take it and while they had concerns about this whole thing, they felt like they had to take it with them deep in their entire being. They knew that taking this would set off events that would change their lives.

"Hey Rara, you think this seem a little fishy to you." Sanada said as he made up his mind and started walking toward the floating nest.

Rara while still a little freaked out by all of this, but he knew they couldn't pass this up and that this could provide more clues as to what race created this place. That is if they can't figure out what is a computer or not around here. "No more like we're being leaded around maybe this place probably has an AI program to do this under certain criteria." Rara answered back as an explanation to what happening as he follows behind Sanada a good distance away.

"While this is very unusual and disturbing it is also at the same time amazing and a great find. This might even be older than Jurai itself. Though we'll have to make claim on this as fast as possible and confirm the age of this place. I'm starting to really think this place is alive after what we saw is any indication and not some AI." While Sanada was calm on the outside but ecstatic on the inside, just waiting to bust out in joy at these finds. "We'll take this as proof at least to show along with any video feed to the Galaxy Police and the Jurains so that we may have some support and protection from space pirates or other parties. Though I imagine that they will have a hard time believing all this, even with proof." Sanada summon a robot from a pocket dimension to move the specimen.

They made their way out of the room to see the security system deactivated and everyone agrees that going back to their space ship was the next course of action to take. Another glow appears beneath their feet when the symbols in the room where they found the specimen started glowing. Suddenly they found themselves outside the complex and next the rumblings started as another eye appear and all of a sudden a countdown is shown. What came next would never be forgotten and even make all present swear off drinking for the next several years. A couple dozens of smiley faces appear ranging from cute to bizarre to downright creepy in various design and colors schemes (2). Rara and Sanada decided then and there that getting out was the best course of action.

They were given plenty of time to get back to the ship and started lifting off when sensors started going off. They scanned the surrounding area and on screen it showed that the object had erected a field of unknown composition and origin around the whole structure. Then the ship warned them that the object has started to phase out and disappear from its location from the planet with no traces of it other than the empty space where it rested. Surprisingly the land didn't collapse like they thought they would when it disappear

After all is said and done, and the story of the exploration told, they were left with nothing more than footage that could be discredited and an unborn fetus like creature in their containment room. In that very room, a strange language appeared and shifted in various language till the words read "SHINJI IKARI" and settled on the glass like dome and a small heart pulse could be heard in the silent room.

Author's Note: One of the things I notice was that I'm not good with conversations with the characters and that narrating in third person I seem to do better in. My beta reader notices something in my grammar I didn't when I'm writing.

The word "they're" is a shortened form of the words "they are" and you are misusing it. To use "they're" you must be writing about multiple people. "They're" also happens to be a word that shares its pronunciation with two other words, "their" and "there." "Their" is used to express multiple people owning something, while "there" is a Jack of all trades used in numerous situations. For the most part "there" along with a word like "were" is what you want.

You seem to have a hard time telling when a noun should be plural.

It seems I still have trouble in my English and if I ever go to real college than I'm going to have a lot of trouble passing it. So please tolerate with my writing everyone and hope you enjoy this. Also it seems I may have gone overboard after the first time it was proofread. This may ruin the later part of the story but I'll stick with this.

(1) You will have to see the Utawarerumono opening to see what they look like if the description isn't enough.

(2) Think of any smiley face you can think of and add some Angel's faces smiling, like it says cute, bizarre and creepy smiley popping out of nowhere unexpectedly. And imagine that various reaction any could think of at this point. This was meant to be funny so I'm sure if it did.

Thanks for reading and please review.
