Chapter 1: What Now?

The Third Child, Shinji Ikari, faces a new threat - a group known as SEELE, which has been secretly plotting an end-of-the-world scheme that will force humanity to become as one. A random stranger one day visits Shinji, and warns him that if they don't cleanse the perpetrator, then the Earth is certainly done for. It's a matter of time before NERV becomes a tool that will enable instrumentality.
