Chapter one
Enemy unknown
February, 27th, 2015
Alone in the pitch black darkness an elderly man sat in his office, watching the German national news network the reporter described how for months now many unidentified flying objects had been spotted over the European countryside and people have been disappearing ever since. He then flipped the channel to one of the American news channels and they had told of many of the same things, UFO's spotted and high rate of disappearances. He then flipped to the Canadian, Mexican, south American, Russian, Korean and Japanese news channel. All of them, every single one described the same thing. The old man shut off the monitor and straightened up in his chair.
"So they have arrived." he said to himself, the old man had hoped that the project would be completed before this, he had even had cybernetics in his body to extend his life to make sure that his work was completed perfectly. But the aliens had thrown a wrench in their plans. For the first time in decades Keel Lorenz felt dread coursed through him, a lifetime of work undone by something that wasn't even from earth. A flashing red light on Keel's desk broke him out of his thoughts, it was the signal that the other council members needed to talk. Pressing in the command eleven holograms appeared, each one a monolith with the word seele and a number designating who they are. They made themselves appear like this to protect their anonymity in the event one of them ever went rogue.
"Chairman Keel I am sure you are aware of the recent developments?" seele 02 asked.
Keel nodded "yes, it goes without saying that this doesn't bode well."
"No it doesn't." seele 12 spoke up. "I believe that it is in our best interest that we negotiate with the aliens and…"
"Negotiate?" Seele 06 cut 12 off, outraged at this idea. "I doubt that they even understand what negotiate means 12!" 06 shook his head "I had thought being on this council for these last few years would make you understand how much is at risk here." "Though I can't say I'm surprised knowing that you are the newest member here" 06 chastise.
12's face heated up "No I do know what is at risk!" The man exclaimed "This is a species that has learned faster than light travel, their technology is hundreds of centuries ahead of ours." Seele 12 saw no way to possibly repel the aliens and even if they could it would set them back years or even decades behind schedule. The old men continued to bicker amongst themselves, undecided on what they should do.
Having enough of this Keel clenched his fist and slammed it down on his desk "Quiet all of you!" he yelled, fed up with their indecision."We have little time as is and can not waste it fighting with each other!" Keel stood up and placed his hands behind him. "Have we at least tried to communicate with them?"
"Yes we have sent out signals, all of them have been ignored, it is clear they have no interest in communicating with us." 07 answered
"I see"
"So what the hell do we even do!" 12 yelled out.
"Calm yourself, the appearance of the aliens was a surprise but not unsuspected, we are not unprepared." Keel raised his hand signaling them to stay quiet. "A project was developed to deal with this very issue some time ago."
"So that still exists, I had thought it had fell through?" 05 asked.
"No it had not," Seele 02 said. "I had personally looked over project Xcom."
"Xcom?"
"Yes the extraterrestrial combat unit, designed to directly fight against any outside threats" 02 explained.
"And with all of our combined support Xcom can defend our interests" Keel added.
"Can it Keel?"
"Yes it will!" "Of course it will not be easy but nothing about our work is, you all must have faith we did not come this far without overcoming many hardships."
"With all respect Keel we got lucky with the last….."aliens" only because they were in stasis." "We had never faced a live alien threat before."05 rebuked.
07 nodded in agreement "And how do we know that Xcom is even capable of combating something that we know nothing about?" The rest of the council agreed and voiced their doubtfulness. Keel knew words wouldn't be enough to get the council to move forward on this but he had nothing else to convince them.
"I understand that most of you are hesitant to support this but I ask that you think of the alternative, we do not know what the aliens are after but we know that if the aliens take the earth it will surely mean the end of seele and our efforts!" Keel sat back in his chair and let them contemplate and weigh out their options.
"Alright Keel you have my support" 12 spoke. "But know that if Xcom turns out to be a fruitless endeavor I will not think twice before cutting it off." "There are always other ways to achieve our unity."
Keel nonded "I understand." And without another word 12 disconnected, the rest had pledged their support and left the meeting, leaving Keel by himself. He then opened a new communication line and a new hologram activated.
"Hello commander Ikari" Gendo was in his normal attire, a dark suit with white gloves and his orange tinted glasses and sitting with his hands laced together in front of his face, hiding his expression.
"Chairman, what do I owe the honor?"
"Xcom goes live today, Ikari."
"I thought as much."
"Yes but the council is wary of xcom's abilities, you will need to show them that all this wasn't a waste of time and money."
"Rest assured Keel the council will see our resilience." Gendo said confidently, smiling under his hands.
"I pray you will commander." Keel logged out leaving him. "So we are live, I will notify all branches to go on high alert for an attack soon." Fuyutsuki asked, walking up to stand beside him, having watched Gendo's and Keel's short convo from the shadows.
"Yes as soon as possible but I also need you to do something for me." he asked looking up at his long time friend. "Something personal."
"And that is?"
"I need you to find someone."
A.N.
Bit of a weird crossover but this idea was playing out in my head for quite a while now and I finally decided to stop beating around the bush try my hand at this lmao.
This story won't be retelling of Eva or Xcom story's but a mix of the their story's
To note the characters like Shinji or asuka will have the same back story they had in the show but in this they will be a few years older and more mature. The Xcom characters will be more or less the same.
The Eva's and Angels won't be in the story all that much but they will have a major role in it.
Thank you all for reading this and please leave a review so I can make this as good as possible.
