"The real world is where the monsters are." -Rick Riordan, The Lighting Thief

"Are these findings true?" Commander Ikari asks both Misato and Ritsuko about what happened the day before with the failed mission to terminate the creature that killed the eighth angel and nearly killed Shinji, only to discover it was the beast Godzilla as it mauled both Unit-00 and Unit-02.

"Yes sir, with all the evidence including saliva samples from Unit-02's bite wound, the massive amounts of radiation, and the fact the creature shrugged off small N2 missiles all point to the creature's identity as Godzilla." Akaga answered as she looks through her notes.

"Sensei, your opinion as you're more aware of Godzilla's existence than I am." Gendo asks the Vice-Commander.

"Though I say this is a formidable creature, I personally need more to convince me this is Godzilla." Kozo Fuyutsuki answers as he has firsthand accounts of the said creature.

"Then I have these to prove it..." Misato sates as she gives Fuyutsuki a photo "...this is footage from Unit-00 as most was corroded by radiation."

What the Vice-Commander sees stuns him as he could see the creature's distinct dorsal fins, the same ones he's seen with Yui Ikari on Monarch's final mission twenty-one years ago.

"So what are your orders?" Misato asks as she is determined to put a stop to Godzilla before it can harm human lives.

"I suggest you two pay an old friend a visit: only he can help us in these matters." Fuyutsuki orders as Misato and Ritsuko say yes sir and leave Gendo's office.

"So what should we do with this creature?" Kozo asks the Commander.

"It's a threat to our plans, for that Godzilla will die one way or another." Gendo says with resolve, a determination Fuyutsuki knows that can be a dangerous thing.

"Also I was given a request by Akagi and Misato to have Rei temporarily transferred to Katsuragi's apartment so she can have assistants from your son as she recovers from her head tramau. What do you think?" Fuyutsuki asks.

"Normally I would say know, however seeing this request actually opens a door of opportunity for our plans, I am accepting the request." Gendo says much to Fuyutsuki's shock.

Outside, Misato and Ritsuko were outside to find Ichiro Serizawa when a familiar voice came from the shadows.

"So what does the commander have you two doing?" Ryoji Kaji asks, much to Misato's annoyance.

"If you want to know, we're finding someone who can help us with our current problem." Misato growls without making eye contact with the unshaven spy.

"You mean the Godzilla problem?: Kaji asks casually that shocks both Ritsuko and Misato as to how he has that knowledge.

"And how would you know that?" Akagi asks, somewhat unsurprised by how her old friend would have that knowledge, but curios on how the obtained it.

"It's my job and a would like to come myself if you don't mind?" Kaji asks his the two women.

"And why the hell we would do that?!" Misato barks at Kaji.

It was then Kaji's expression turns serious as he answers "Because what you're going to find is something even NERV has no understanding of, something Serizawa has kept buried for good reasons. And you need someone with who knows these woods better than anyone in this building."

Meanwhile in Osaka-2, specifically at a rather rundown apartment complex, a lone man was drinking a bottle of scotch as he looks through a photo album. The years after Second Impact weren't so kind of him, full of bitter memories and scars. He then adjusts his eye patch before he hears a knock on the door.
