Disclaimer: I do not own Neon Genesis Evangelion. Lichs and the undead are not my original creations. What I do own are the lichs in this story. I am not making money off this, so please don't sue me =(
I'm just a poor high school student with nothing better to do.

Prelude: Rebirth
-
… the empty bodies slumped to the ground as their souls left them. Before long, a ghostly Rei apparition appeared before each corpse, the dead, translucent eyes looking sadly down at what remained of humanity.
=======
Silence.
No cicadas.
No cars.
No people.
Just pure, uninterrupted silence within the once great Tokyo-3.
On the horizon a new sun rises, at first partially obscured by the giant head that rests on the sea. As the first rays begin to warm the cold stones of the city, a soft stench arises from the coast, the smell of blood.
=======
Shinji opened his eyes to yet another ceiling.
A natural one.
The sky.
Glowing a beautiful red.
Red like…
=======
… His hands closed about her neck, the frail arms somehow finding the strength to lift her into the air. And they stood there for some time, frozen as the life began to flee from the body of Asuka Sohryu Langley. Light from the ceiling fixture bounced off the jagged, brown-stained edges of the coffee pot's remains, casting streaks of surreal light into the shadows that persisted at the edge of Shinji's vision.
Outside there was silence…
=======
He squeezed his eyes shut.
[No! Stop thinking about… They won't hurt me again. Ever!]
The former Third Child slowly opened his eyes again, this time allowing them to accept the colour of the sky for what it was. Beautiful.
=======
There was ten of them.
Thin bodies dressed either in dark gray rags or nothing at all.
With skin that was a dirty mix of brown and gray.
On a few of their scalps wisps of white hair still hung, but for the most part they were bald. Their thin, bloodless lips hid a mouthful of rough, yellowed teeth that looked like someone had sharpened them with rocks. On several of the faces chunks of flesh were missing, revealing gaping black holes and the occasional dirty bone.
The worst thing about them, however, were the eyes. Nine of them had no pupils, only the bloodshot white of their eyeballs. The tenth had no eyes at all, just two gaping holes where eyes once rested.
The eleventh was greatly contrasted to his companions like a man among demons. Instead of the half-decaying visage of the others his face was complete. Pale skin accentuated the dark green irises of his all too human eyes and the golden brown of his hair. It was this one that spoke first, one foot kicking disdainfully the body of an old man lying at his feet.
"Instrumentation is complete" he said in a soft, high pitched voice.
A series of hissing noises came from the throats of the other 10 members of SEELE. The things looked around at each other with their pupil-less eyes, thin lips pulled into what might have been smiles but looked more like grimaces of pain.
The first smiled and waited until his subordinates had quieted down before continuing.
"The exhibition matches will begin soon, and we still have much preparation to do."
"Zertell, I will transport the armies from the Americas… Kershun and Jamark should follow to raise the Goliaths" said the eyeless one in a low voice that sounded like wind brushing against sand.
"Mishta, Horune, Jhajr, Poriln, Kamrei, Zashtell" said the eleventh in his crystal clear voice, "take care of the other continents."
Mishta looked at his comrade as what remained of his brows furrowed into a glare made hideous by the lich's incomplete features. "And what will you do Varkildna?" asked the lich. His voice was somewhat softer than the eyeless one's, yet still retained the sense of rustling sand.
The eleventh smiled at his doubting comrade, his red lips opening slightly to let show pristine rows of regular white fangs.
" I will raise the Evangelions."

A/N: Aaaaaaaand that's a wrap for the prelude folks. Whaddya think? Should I bother continuing? None of the names have any significance btw… At least I hope not. I made them up on the spot so…
Please read and review to let me feel the wuv ^.^
I do know where this plotline is going. Just have to fill in some of the details…
The characters you love will be showing up soon. And don't worry, I won't zombify (all of) them. =D
Oh and does anybody know how to make ff.net read the formatting on my .htm's? I can't get it to use the multiple spaces I inserted so I had to use ='s between sections .
Please help…
