Strangers in Tokyo-3

by Boreas Anemos

On a fairly normal day, a group of strangers arrives at Tokyo-3. At first, things seem normal - an inspection begins at NERV, new faces appear at school. Then, odd things start to happen at NERV and school followed by a night of wonders - and its consequences. This is a Neon Genesis Evangelion / Master and Margarita crossover fanfiction, set in the NGE TV series continuity.

Prologue

There are many beginnings to this story.

Some say it all began when the Katsuragi Expedition woke Adam in Antarctica and caused the Second Impact. Others say it began when one Shinji Ikari came to Tokyo-3, called upon by his father who had abandoned him a decade before. Others say it was when the beings later known as Angels came to this world in the First Impact, eons ago. Even others say it was when the world was created or when a certain angel – not an Angel, though – said "no" to the Creator for the first time – or perhaps when the serpent tempted the first humans on the orders from the Creator.

Truth is that each of those people could be right in their own manner, and each of those people would be wrong.

Tales can have many beginnings, and this tale is no different. But to tell the tale, the narrator must choose one of the beginnings.

And thus, this tale begins on the day on which several strangers came to Tokyo-3.
