Neon Genesis Evangelion

The story begins at phone booth in a desolate town inhabited seemingly only by loud cicada in the Kanto region of Japan, it is 12:29pm and the year is 2015. Here we find a young man attempting to make a call, he was supposed to be picked up right as he arrived but he had been waiting for about an hour since getting off the train. This young man is named Shinji Ikari, he is dressed plainly in a white button up that stuck to his boyish chest in the summer heat, and black cotton pants that itched at his frail legs. As the young man punches numbers into the pay phone trying to connect to anyone.

As the time ticks to 12:30 PM a state of emergency rings through the Kanto region. Sounds of warning and alarm play through speakers old and new scattered through the ghost town. Shinji's call fails to go through as the alarms begin to start, a machine operator chirping out that all phone lines are down before cutting itself off. The phone booth cutting its own power leaving just the sounds of cicada and alarms ringing through the streets for Shinji.

Shinji pulls a photo from his shirt pocket of the woman who was apparently supposed to pick him up. Her name was Misato and Shinji still could not believe that she had sent this photo to a boy that had just turned 18. It was a picture of Misato, or atleast he thought it must be Misato since a note on the back says that she will meet him at the station to pick him up. The photo depicted a woman in her mid to late twenties that was nonsensically voluptuous and barely dressed. She was swinging around a beer can and pulling down her denim shorts as though she was going out her way to moon the camera, her big butt practically looking like it was screaming to escape the tight cut offs. The way she looked at the camera though made something in Shinji stir. Misato's deep brown eyes looked straight through the camera and the photographer, almost like she was looking at Shinji himself. The expression her eyes gave Shinji couldn't be said out loud without cracking his voice but he felt like she was commanding him to take her.

The sound of the sirens pull Shinji back to reality and he says to himself "Maybe I should find a shelter?" asking a question more than giving a statement to no one. He lifts his head and looks down the road for any sign of where to go when he sees a girl with white hair down the road, pretty like a doll he thinks. Yet before another thought could even cross his mind the ground shudders causing him to flinch for a moment, shutting his eyes and almost covering his head on the ground before stopping himself. He looks back down the road again and the girl is gone.

Suddenly the sounds of whirling helicopter blades can be heard overhead as what looks like military helicopters fly from the coast. He turns to the direction they came from and the ground shakes again, passing into view from a distance that was farm to close was some horrendous towering creature stomping its way up the coast.

Suddenly the world rocks as missiles and heavy fire fly no less than ten feet over Shinji's head at the creature which shows little to no effect from the attack, unleashing a sickening moaning roar. The beast swings at a passing helicopter striking it from the air like it was swatting a fly sending it crashes into a wreck across the street from Shinji. He presses himself up against the wall next to the phone booth unable to move.

Seconds pass and the sounds of useless ordinance rattles off the creature, and impacts are heard from crashing metal across the town. Shinji presses tight into the wall as though he is trying to become part of it when down the abandoned road screeches a blue car. The car skids to a halt in front of Shinji leaving tire tracks on the blank road, Shinji watches as the window rolls down and the woman from the photo leans out saying "Sorry I'm late."
