The Last Angel.

By Kawaii Kitty
Introduction

Suppose for an instant that the planet's destruction had not come to be during the "End Of Evangelion." Pretend that The Human Instrumentality was still very secretive and experimental. Pretend that Gendou Ikari had not given the embryo of Adam to Rei Ayanami. Suppose that all you know has ended with the death of the Seventeenth Angel, Tabris. Suppose even still that the existence of both Lilith and Adam were kept secret.

What you are left with is the story of three tortured pilots of enormous, metallic Frankensteins created at the base of NERV in the year 2015 in one of the first GeoFronts in existence, known as Tokyo-3. The events within the four slopes of the pyramid of NERV are known only to the scientists who work within them, and the members of a sort of neo-UN board known as SEELE. Even most of the employees of NERV know not the secrets contained within the minds of Ritsuko Akagi, Kozo Fyutsuki, Gendou Ikari and within the hard drive of the Magi system contained in NERV headquarters.

Even the three children, whom are saving the world from the oncoming threat of super beings called Angels, know nothing of the origins and purpose of their machines, the Evangelions. With the threat of the angels ever present in their minds, the children's lives are high-strung and kept on a strict course. The NERV personnel have told the children that there will be no more angels, that the last has been destroyed at the hand of one, Shinji Ikari. However, many believe that there are more, and possibly threats that go beyond the Angels, threats tracing back to the Christian Bible. Though, even in this day, people have given up hope in searching for answers within the covers and pages of this book, they still fear the power and words of prophecy inside.

This story begins, or rather, restarts as the Third Children, Shinji Ikari, lays on his bed in a disorganized apartment in Tokyo-3. The young boy with his short, brown hair and dark blue eyes reflecting torment lays with his pillow clutched to his chest, his body in a tight fetal position, and a pair of earphones in, but no music being projected from them. Not more than seven hours prior to that moment, he had his only true friend clutched in the fist of an Evangelion,- his Evangelion. He had crushed the frail boy's pale form and was being congratulated for such a triumph, when all he felt was defeat. He had lost his only friend. He had killed his only friend.

Shinji closes his eyes tightly, thick, salty tears creeping out from between the lids and falling down the right side of his face and landing onto the mattress beneath him. His heart wrenched in his chest as he began to think about the last moments with the boy he killed, Kaworu Nagisa.
