Prologue

Shinji Ikari and Asuka Langley Soryu watched as several explosions rocked the dead earth around them. In the nearly demolished forest before them three green mobile suits took on a huge white EVA unit that was absolutely slaughtering them.

"That's the fourth team that's failed." Shinji stated as the wind whipped around them, billowing out Asuka's auburn hair behind her and blowing Shinji's brown bangs in to his eyes. He looked over at the skinny girl standing next to him and noticed the pained expression on her pale face as the lights of the explosions reflected in her eyes.

"Do you think they're going to keep sending troupes here?" she asked in a soft voice. It was amazing how much Asuka had changed since the Third Impact had left them the only two remaining humans left on a dead planet. Once the loud, arrogant, snotty pilot of Evangelion Unit 02, Asuka had receded inside herself, hardly speaking, often found looking off in to space with a distant, depressed look. Any of her emotions were kept under lock and key whenever she was around Shinji, but he occasionally caught her crying to herself in the middle of the night.

The last of the green mobile suits went up in a fiery blaze, and Shinji grimaced, thinking of the helpless pilot within. The huge white EVA unit raised its head from the fallen mobile suit and gave an evil grin to the two figures on the hill.

"Let's get out of here." Shinji said, gently taking Asuka by the arm and pulling her down the eroded hillside. As they headed back to the ruins of Tokyo-3 Asuka couldn't help but think of what had been happening the past few weeks.

Shinji and Asuka had been struggling to survive as it was in the ruins of Tokyo-3 and the Geo Front underneath the city. Food was being come by less and less and the two wary survivors were getting thinner and thinner. It being human instinct to live on even through the toughest of times, nether wanted to give in to death that easily. Then a ray of hope appeared like a beacon through a foggy night. Several strange robots, a little smaller than EVA units came to them one day. There were other humans inside, piloting the giant contraptions. They claimed to be from another reality where human life was flourishing and people lived in space. They had come to explore this reality in hopes of discovering new technology, but only found a nearly dead planet that looked like it had been pulled through hell and restored to it's place in the universe. The captain of this team, Captain Willis, had said he'd been surprised to see life here, but was relieved that there had been some survivors.

The team has spent several days in Tokyo-3 with Asuka and Shinji, telling them tales of their home world and planning an escape for them. Asuka and Shinji told Willis and his team their sad tale of alien Angels and global destruction that ended with were they were today. Willis's plan never went through, much to the dismay of the two teenagers.

Willis had just shown the two teens the gigantic portal that they had come through, a portable device built by scientists in their world to take from reality to reality. Just as they were getting ready to leave, a self run EVA unit that had been dormant since the Third Impact came to life unexpectedly and slaughtered the mobile suit team.

Willis, in a last ditch effort, sent all his information on the reality and the survivors back to the home world, and saved Asuka's life before dying.

Willis's home world continued to try and rescue the two, but every mission failed miserably when the EVA units miraculously came to life and easily defeated the mobile suits.

I wonder if we're ever going to make it out of here alive…I don't want to die…Asuka felt tears welling up in her eyes but quickly pushed them back, along with her morbid thoughts.

"Asuka?" Shinji suddenly broke in to Asuka's brooding. Asuka hadn't noticed how close the two of them were to Tokyo-3, and realized that she had been concentrating so much on her thoughts she hadn't been paying attention to much else.

"Hai, Shinji?"

"What's going to happen if they can't rescue us?" her friend asked in an all too deathly serious tone. Asuka stopped walking and looked at Shinji with fear in her eyes, one of the few times she ever let herself show emotion.

"Then we die here…"
