A report on the potential appearance of the Eight Campione, delivered to the Witenagemot, Greenwich Assembly, by the History Compilation Committee , two days after the incident in Tokyo.

While it remains unconfirmed, recent development in Tokyo Incident led us believe that it was nothing less than the glimpse at a battle of a Heretic God and a newborn Godslayer.

The incident- namely the bizarre appearance of the zebra stripped giant floating ball, and the emergence of the humanoid figure that burst through it, in what appeared like a bloody birth (see video attached).

The 'blood' in question, from our analysis, was an amber-colored, oxygenated, translucent liquid, that apparently shares similar properties with the hypothetical "primordial ooze" from which life on Earth first evolved, and had divinity in it. No other physical remains of the 'Ball' remained, the torn striped coating seemed to disintegrate quickly after landing on the ground, and there was no hint of it containing anything besides the 'Blood' and the giant that spew from it.

When questioned, none of the individuals who were inside the shadow of the abovementioned 'Ball' remembered it, and some seemed to be confused as to their location, though all seemed to have fallen asleep at the time of its appearance, to only wake up after it's disappearance. There were no signs of harm, or any magical or effects on any of them, besides falling asleep, and waking up with short term amnesia in few of the cases, that resolved itself within hours.

The humanoid giant, after tearing through and roaring, stood unmoving after finishing its emergence from the ball, disappeared as if it was not even there. Analysis of its recorded image showed hints of armor plating of some sort.

The 7th Campione, who was on his way to investigate the incident, claimed to have sensed a Divine power nearby, most certainly a heretic god or a fellow Campione.

As he arrived to the scene of the incident, where the orb made its appearance, he confirmed sensing the Birth of a Campione at that location. A Spirit Vision performed by a Hime-Miko confirmed that a heretic god was slain at that location, and a mortal ascended.

Neither the orb, nor the giant were identified , but suspected to be the deity that was fought and killed. No witnesses were found to the battle itself.

As the location of most campione was known at the time of the incident, others suspected to remain within their territories, and no signs of any of them were found in japan,it is likely true.

In summation, it appears that an unidentified heretic god appeared in Tokyo, Japan, as either a giant floating Ball, or a humanoid giant bursting from it, and was defeated by a currently unknown person, who thus, via the divine ritual of Pandora, was reborn as a Campione.

It is unknown at the time what authorities were gained, but due to the sleep and temporary amnesia afflicted on the people that were in the shadow of the 'orb', and the lack of recollection of the battle itself, it is suspected that the heretic god was some obscure deity associated with memories, and granted its slayer authorities capable of effecting memories.

It is unknown how the new Campione react to sharing territory with another, nor why another has risen in Japan, so soon.

A further report will be filed when more information has been compiled.

-End of Line-


'An unfamiliar ceiling.'

That was the first thought that entered Shinji's mind, as he found himself waking up.

A cursory glance showed none of the medical personal that he recalled from earlier visits to NERV infirmary. In fact, it didn't look like NERV at all.

When he asked the strange nurse, she seemed confused at his terms, and told him that he was a victim of a gas leak, one of many, and that it was probably his mind, fabricating a tale to compensate over the memories it lost. He wasn't the only one, and as the others returned to normal within hours of awakening, he should too. Tokyo-3? Why what could have happened to the first one, and there never was a second!

They did ask about his name, as he had no identifying documents on his person, and they didn't find him in the system.

He gave them the only one he remembered- Ikari Shinji.

As the nurse left, muttering to himself so quietly that Shinji was surprised he overheard it, "poor boy", he wondered if the entire episode of what he remembered really was fiction, both dreading and hoping for it to be so.

'And what of Misato? Rei, and Asuka? Of Touji and Kensuke?'


Author Notes: The report from the compilation Committee may be familiar, as I based it on similar reports to Witengamot in my favorite Campione crossover fics-' God Slaying Blade Works', and 'Crown of Dreams'.

I hope the chapter ended up decent.
