Okay, so this is my first NGE fic. I hope I'll do my best and not mess up here. This fic will revolve around Kaworu Nagisa, the seventeenth Angel we all love to love. There will be not pairings here, nor will there by yaoi like in so many Kaworu fics. It's rated mostly for angst, language and scenes of partial nudity.

This fic will basically go through the general outline of NGE and End of Evangelion, ranging from the year 2000 to Third Impact itself. The plot will be generally different as some events will be changed, others will be added, etc. The general result is the same, you can say that this is 'Another Side, Another Story'.

Chapter 00: First encounter

October 4th, 2010, UN headquarters in London, England

The young boy blinked, adjusting to the darkness that enveloped the room he was led to. The boy lifted his hand and tried to focus on it. Even that was not visible. Total darkness.

Light then surrounded the boy. Twelve of what appeared to be stone tablets appeared around him. Each of the tablets had the word SEELE on it, and under it a number, 01 to 12, and beneath that the words 'Sound Only'. Those tablets emitted a luminescent light that made Kaworu see nothing then them and himself, making it seem as if he was in the center of darkness.

"I welcome you, young Kaworu." A voice boomed across the room.

Kaworu calmly smiled.

"Welcome, Keel Lorenz." He replied.

Keel Lorenz was a shadowy figure that ran young Kaworu's life. For the last ten years Kaworu had been very intrested with meeting that person who had made sure he was always fed and safe. He wanted to meet the man who would nurture mankind''s butcher.

The boy felt silence as the twelve people who observed him through the hologram tablets stood silent, their eyes trying to find something threatening in the young Angel.

"I am pleased to finally be able to talk to you, young Kaworu," Keel Lorenz finally said. "you are a very special child."

"I am aware of what I am." Kaworu replied with a warm smile, though his voice was anything but pleasent.

"Yes." Said another voice. "Then we are all equal in knowledge here."

Kaworu almost chuckled. Old fools. We, Angels, will not be manipulated by the human fools. Equal in knowledge? You humans do not know your own purpose, how can you even expect to know mine? As foolish and cocky as ever. One must wonder if mankind truly was blessed by the Fruit of Knowledge. Kaworu kept those words to himself. He wanted to appear harmless. Harmless nearly until the very end.

However, Kaworu already saw SEELE was uncomfortable with Lorenz bringing the child here. Lorenz himself seemed to have regrets about his decision.

"Let us cut to the chase, here," Kaworu said, his smile lingering. "What could of happaned, what could of been so severe that the manipulators of all mankind would of risked bringing a living, breathing Angel to their meeting?"

"Our intrestes intersect, Tabris." Lorenz replied. "You wish to return to Adam. We have Adam. We both wish to initiate Third Impact."

"You lie to me," Kaworu said. "why do you lie to me? I can read the truth from your minds. You may wish to initiate Third Impact, but certainly not for the right reasons. You wish to become God. You humans cannot become God. Your existence can't contain that essence. The most you can become is an entity without pain. And that is not even a fraction of what God is."

The members of SEELE were silent once more. They weren't pleased with the boy reading their minds. Kaworu could feel this, as well, and his eyes flicked almost madly.

"Why did you call me here?" He asked again, more firmly.

"We are afraid someone much like you has perished." Lorenz said.

Kaworu's eyes narrowed.

"Sister?" He asked.

"Yes." Lorenz replied. "She had been strangled to death by a GEHIRN employee. That employee was later found at the foot of the command tower. We are uncertain if she had been pushed off or fell off."

GEHIRN was an organization funded and backed by the UN with defending the earth and recovering after the cataclysmic events of Second Impact, which took place ten years ago and cost mankind dearly. The glaciers of Antartica melted, leading to many floods and had effectivly disrupted the Earth's climate, trapping the planet in an eternal summer. However, the irony was that the steepest price was that which man inflicted upon himself-Second Impact triggered wars, which had eventually, along with Second Impact itself, set the death tool of mankind in almost half of it's population.

"And who is this employee?" Kaworu asked, too disturbed to wrench the truth from the old man's mind.

"The name is of little importantce." Lorenz said, but sensing the boy could find out regardless added, "but it is Naoko Akagi, head scientist for GEHIRN."

"And what shall you do in this matter, Lorenz?" Kaworu inquired.

"It is not our buisness." Replied another voice. "That girl is in Gendo Ikari's personal custody, and how he will deal with the situation is of little importatnce to SEELE or Third Impact."

Gendo Ikari, GEHIRN's newly appointed leader who was at the past one of it's scientists. He could feel the distrust oozing from the minds of every one of the twelve members, espically Lorenz's.

"However," Lorenz continued, "This girl is special. She has the potential of playing a grand role in the events to come. I shall authorize her continued production to Ikari, and disband GEHIRN. It's purpose is completed after the production and successful activation of Evangelion Unit 01, and it can be replaced for a new organization who will take into it's hands to protection of mankind."

"So you've called me to tell me that you'll create an organization whose purpose is to destroy me?" Kaworu chuckled. "That is too rich."

"This meeting is adjourned," Lorenz said, apparantly tired of the boy. "Kaworu, we will stay in touch with you. We predict your role in the events to come will be instrumental to our... yours and ours... cause."

Kaworu turned and left the dark room from whence he came, minutes earlier. He pushed the heavy door open and walked outside, to be washed by afternoon sunlight coming through the long, glass windows in the white corridor of the UN United Kingdom Headquarters.

The young boy blinked, his eyes adjusting to the light.

I would not be used by you, Lorenz. The boy thought calmly. What you, and most other humans fail to realize, is that the world does not revolve around you, and you cannot play with things such as me or my brethern, skillful puppeteers as you may be.

The boy turned left in the corridors, humming 'Ode to Joy' as he went.

Author's Notes: Okay, so as you can see, this story Kaworu is somewhat different- He displays telepathy along with his other powers and mocks SEELE rather openly. He's gonna have plenty of run-ins with SEELE, so this is just the tip of the iceberg in how he frightens and angers the old fools. Anyway, once I get a few reviews, I'll be posting Chapter 01. 'Til then!
