Trailer – 03 – Arrival
[OUTSIDE, CITYSCAPE, EVENING]
A sprawling cityscape is shown, flooded. The buildings are tilted, crashed, in ruins and partially submerged in water. The setting sun colours the sea in a fiery red. Small waves crash onto the sides of buildings long abandoned, slowly eroding them.
[CUT, UNDERWATER, REDDISH LIGHT]
The water is up to a few stories above street level. The deeper parts closer to the ground are distinctively blue-tinted whereas the parts closer to the surface are illuminated in a red hue. The sides of the buildings, the streets, all submerged city parts show signs of having been settled on by marine life for years. Schools of fishes swim through eroded overhangs, passing broken shop windows still equipped with mannequins.
A shadow in the distances passes between buildings. Almost silent deep bass drums start playing.
[CUT, OVERVIEW OF FLOODED CITY FROM INSIDE OF HELICOPTER, DUSK, SLOW-MOTION]
Deep Bass tones of the running engine can be heard while at the top of the screen the ends of rotor blades cutting leisurely and fast through the air can be seen.
The same city as before. Beneath the waves reflecting back a blinding ochre light a massive shadow moves between buildings. The dimensions of the shadow in relation to the derelict buildings to its side bring to mind its humongous size.
[CUT, AIRBORNE, HIGHER-UP]
The shadow keeps moving languidly through the submerged parts of the city.
Bass drums start slowly, quietly playing, but steadily rising in volume and speed as the shadow suddenly jerks in one direction. It moves fast towards an unseen goal, bulging water left and right but never breaking the surface. It heads for a slight slope at the lower parts of a rift in the surrounding mountain range. The water being pushed aside by the yet unseen giant gushes and foams as it crashes against passing and soon left behind buildings. The giant shadow moves for the shore.
[CUT, GROUND-LEVEL, SHORE OF THE SUBMERGED CITY]
The view is on the half-submerged city with an ever-nearing white water bulge being the focus. By now the drums are close to deafening in speed and volume. They fall silent as the bulge explodes in white froth of water and wind. As the dispersed water rains down there's a sudden, ear-piercing screech as the figure becomes clear.
A black giant in a grotesque mockery of human form stands tall, head-less. A white bird-mask adorns its barrel chest. Spindly, three-clawed arms and legs jut out of its torso.

THIS IS EVANGELION
Author's Notes: I know Sachiel isn't the first angel in continuity. But it is the first they fought, so there.
