(NERV Headquarters)

The words [First Children - Status: LOST]
blinked to the sound of the alarm, but nobody
paid any attention to it. All eyes were on the
main screen, watching as UNIT-01 convulsed in
a fit, seemingly in complete pain.
There were other words blinking on screen, but
these were ignored as well. They were words
like [Synchronization Rate - (- 437)%] and
[Anti-AT-Field detected]. If anybody had been
looking, they would have been more shocked
than they already were.
One set of eyes was closed.
In a voice nobody could hear, a woman spoke.
"I'm sorry, Rei. This is for your own good."

The elevator door slid open.
"Lost, Captain?"
"Ehh . . . hi, Ritsuko."
"Usagi. How many times have I told you to
memorize the map?"
"But . . . But this place is so big!"
Ritsuko closed her eyes and sighed. She opened
one and looked Shinji over.
"So . . . that's the Commander's son?"
"Uh, hello," said Shinji.
"Follow me," said Ritsuko as she turned and
started down the hall.
Shinji looked to Usagi questioningly.
"She's kinda the head technician around here."
"Oh."
"We better follow her before we get lost again."
The looked down the hall. There was no sign of
Ritsuko. Bad sign. Usagi began sprinting, and
Shinji followed suit.

Tokyo
(Juuban District)
September 13, 2000
Jupiter struggled uselessly as the angel held her
above the burning city. The grip was a grip with
a single hand, enclosed around her throat,
inhumanly strong, and totally immobile.
The angel smiled.
"You are the last of the daughters of Eve here,"
he said. "Once you are gone, she will have no
one else to protect her."
"Who . . . who are . . . you?"
A wind blew the angel's gray hair away from his
eyes, and Jupiter finally saw them.
The eyes were red. Red like the sunset. Red like
the fires eating away the buildings below. Red
like . . .
There was a muffled sputtering sound, and then
the sound of something heavy and soft hitting
the ground. The angel licked the blood away
from his hand.
"My name . . . is Adam."

It'd been a statue of an angel, but the bomb that
had been dropped just several days earlier had
blown off the head, and now it was an angel
without a face. It was, in a way, kind of fitting,
considering the sort of person the statue was
made in tribute of had been. The men who had
commissioned it had named it, "The Goddess."
There was another name.
The night had been somewhat rainy, and now
there were several puddles on the ground near
the statue. The head was sitting in one of them,
and rain had gathered in the depression next to
the right eye, making it look as if the statue were
crying.
The puddles didn't stop the woman from
approaching the head, however. It was a
relatively young-looking woman, probably a
little older than thirty, though her eyes said that
she was far older than that. The fact that they
were red from crying didn't help much.
"Please help me," she said, slowly embracing the
head as a young child would embrace a doll. She
ignored the mud, ignored it completely. Nothing
more was important . . .
Nothing.

This story is plotted out. I don't know if I have
the willpower to continue it, though. Maybe on
my free time. Any C&C or offers to pick it up
would be appreciated.
