A/N: Ok so I've decided to rewrite Star Force Evangelion, I read back over it and wasn't happy with how I had built up the new characters and also I thought the beginning could do with a lot more work on it so here is the first chapter of the rewrite, it'll be following the same basic story but will have some major differences in the chapters, it'll also be renamed to Neon Genesis Evangelion: Strange New Worlds. I hope you like this new version. There will be some inaccuracies it's based after EoE/EoTV but the Eva Units will still exist, its based on a different style of ending in which the events of EoE did happen but happened slightly differently.

Anyway I hope you enjoy this new version, please if you have the time leave a review, I'd love to know your thoughts on it.

One Week Ago – ASPE Starbase

"April 14th, 2015, this will be the last audio log I'll make whilst we're still within the ASPE orbital station, the ship has now been completed and the crew has been chosen. I've handpicked my main bridge staff. My security officer is a man called Mike Sharpe, he's got a good record at the Academy and was recommended to me by the ASPE higher ups. The ships pilot is a woman named Joanne Harrison. She's still young and inexperienced but from what I've seen she is more then capable of piloting a ship such as this. The third and final person I have chosen is a young medic named Kira Stewart, she'll be among the youngest of the overall crew but her record at the academy is second to none, she is said to be one of the best medics currently serving in ASPE.

The other three are currently on board and are looking around their respective areas, getting a feel for the ship. ASPE are sending the rest of the crew within the next couple of days and in five days time, after two long years or preparation, the ship will finally be ready to launch."

The captain smiled as he said those final words, two long years he had been waiting for this moment, he had received the news that he would be the first starship captain at ASPE, it was his proudest moment. Many people within the community had made a big deal of the fact that he was chosen, most were supportive, and after all it was a huge achievement for their civilization. However there were those who had criticized ASPE's choice for a captain, most stating that the chosen candidate was in fact far too young to be captaining a vessel such as this. John had no time for these people, no matter what age the captain was to be they would all end up the same, the only experience potential captains had were simulators which were nothing better then video games, it just turned out that he was better qualified then the older candidates that's all.

He could understand their concern for the ship, after all it wasn't everyday a starship of this quality was made, the only starships before this were the Colony ships sent back and forth between the Alpha 01 colonies in the Hideaki star system. The ship featured an upgraded Light Drive, of course the colony ships also featured a Light Drive but the one on this ship was different. This was capable of providing speeds going up to five times the speed of light, it was also more efficient and is said to provide a smoother flight.

The ship itself could hold around fifty people, it was a ship made for exploration, where as those that came before it were made for transport, this one had been made with long term exploration in mind. It featured three huge cargo bays, each one providing docking features for interaction with space stations and other ships. It came equipped with storage facilities for food, using special ASPE technology it was possible to keep any type of food fresh for months or years. Scattered throughout the ships decks were the living quarters, a dining area, engineering section, medical bay and also a shuttle bay currently housing one shuttle.

The command center of the ship was situated directly at the front of the ship, it housed a giant view-screen that could be turned off at will and also made to display star charts or otherwise. At the front of the bridge was where the pilot sat, situated behind the pilot's seat was the captain's chair. To the left of the captains chair was the Security/Tactical Center and to the Right of the captains chair was the Engineering Panel for remote access to the engineering section. Situated behind the Captain's chair were several more consoles set aside for other ship functions.

John looked around his quarters, they weren't anything spectacular-just the basics. A main room with a bathroom located at the far end, a bed in the corner, two windows looking outside, a desk set up with a computer built into it, wardrobes next to one of the walls and basic kitchen facilities in another corner.

He looked back down to the computer screen and finished entering his personal log. He sat back in his seat and looked around again before getting up and walking out of his quarters to meet the new crew.

Five Days Ago– ASPE Starbase

"Commander, speak to me what's happening up there?"

John awaited the reply from the other end of the communicator; he had been awoken just over fifteen minutes ago by the sound of explosions and the ship going to Red Alert. After a few seconds the voice of Mike Sharpe came back over the handheld device.

"We don't know captain, the ship has been sealed off from the Star base, no one can enter or leave the ship. Communication has been cut off between the two as well."

"How many are of the crew made it on board."

"Only me, Lieutenant Harrison and Ensign Stewart are on board, ASPE weren't going to start transferring the rest of the crew across until tomorrow."

Damnit, John thought to himself as he thought over what Mike had just told him.

"Commander get both the Lieutenant and Ensign Stewart on the bridge, I'm on my way there now."

"Yes captain."

A shockwave hit the ship causing John to slam into the wall, he stumbled away trying to regain his balance as he continued making his way towards the end of the corridor towards the ships lift system. The ship shook again as another explosion could be heard in the Star base. The lighting had been dimmed to reflect the red alert status and the standard ship lighting now flashed a dangerous red.

John made it to the end of the corridor and stepped into the lift, ready to go up to the bridge. Another shockwave rocked the ship as the lift stopped allowing the captain access to the bridge.

"Commander put the view-screen on I want to see what's happening out there."

"Yes Captain."

The captain made his way around to the Captains chair and sat down just as the view-screen whirred to life. Fear gripped him as he saw what was in front of him. The Star base was literally being torn apart around them, in front of them was the star-base exit doors, these however were now half damaged and the crew of the Ship could now see through them into the empty void of space.

This however was not what had frightened the captain, through the gaps in the exit something could be seen sending some sort of energy beam at the station, the object appeared to be rectangular in shape. An orange mist was being sprayed out of it.

Another explosion rocked the ship sending all the crew on the ship flying forward. The captain got to his feet,

"Lieutenant Harrison how are you for piloting at this time?"

The Lieutenant got up, and looked back her Captain, "I still haven't gone over everything there is on the ship"

"Doesn't matter, do you think you can get us out of here?"

She looked back and panicked, "I guess so, but there isn't a clear route out the star base exit is still blocking out way."

John took this on board, he now had a decision too make: stay within the star base and wait to be crushed, or make their own path out and try to survive. He gave the survival method a forty percent chance of success. He looked over towards his security officer.

"In that case, we'll have to make our own way out, Commander, do we have weapons systems?"

"They're only basic at that, we'll get one chance to do something then we'll have to repair them, they were scheduled for tomorrow."

God damnit, why was everything scheduled for tomorrow? John asked himself, another shockwave hit the star base, this time sending a chunk of the star base flying towards the ship, just narrowly missing.

"Ok here is what I want you to do, Commander we need an exit out of this place, charge up weapons and aim it at what's remaining of that launch bay doors. Lieutenant, plot a course out of here, as soon as you can engage the light drive and get us as far away from here as you can."

He didn't like giving the order but he didn't want to die here, he looked back to his small crew each one staring at him intently, their faces each asking the same question.

"I don't like it anymore then you do, but I'd much rather take our chances than just be crushed here."

Joanne and Mike both looked at each other, Mike was the first to sit at his console, "I've locked in the target, and I'd recommend we get a bit closer before firing though, we need split second timing to get this right."

Joanne then followed suit and sat at her console, "Course has been set, I'll move us forward then Mike can fire, once we're free of the star base I'll engage the light drive, we will only have a limited time using it then it'll burn out, they were set to finish the tests…"

"..tomorrow, yes I guessed that, ok on my order move us forward."

Kira sat down in one of the unoccupied seats within the bridge, she was too scared to say anything or to object, this wasn't what she had in mind when she joined up for this mission and it wasn't an ideal way to start either. She looked over towards the captain, he had a stern face, focused on what was in front of him, but she could still see the raw fear in his eyes.

"Begin"

Another shockwave hit as the ship began to move, the sound of the ships engines and weapons systems coming to life whirred around the bridge as the ship tore out of its docking clamps and moved towards the launch doors.

The ship made its way towards the doors and just as they were about to hit, a blast from the ships phasers tore through what was remaining as the ship broke free of the star base. The ship continued moving until it was a fair distance from the Star base, just as it gained distance a huge explosion rocked it, behind it the star base had finally been destroyed along with the planet it was orbiting.

The bridge of the ship was silent as they witnessed this, they all sat in a stunned silence as they watched their world be destroyed by this unknown entity that had seemingly came out of nowhere tore throw the remains of the star base and the planet.

"Lieutenant…. Engage the light drive."

With those words the Lieutenant hit the final few buttons to engage the ships light drive, the scene faded around them as they were sucked into the light funnel, all of them sat in a saddened silence.

Two Days Ago – The remains of Tokyo-3

Shinji Ikari woke suddenly, he quickly sat up gasping for air. Finally catching his breath he kept his head down, not wanting to look up for fear of what he might see. He sat there for a while, silent, he could feel something in his hand. He brought his hand up and looked to see what was there. He slowly opened his hand revealing the necklace Misato had gave him before all this had started, he tried to stop himself from crying as he clutched the necklace tightly in his hand.

Finally he looked up to see what had happened, he felt that whatever had happened was his fault, after all it was he that had chosen to allow people to return to their previous form, therefore it was he that was blame for this, or so he thought. He stood up and looked out towards the horizon.

The sight was not pretty, the sea had turned a vile blood red, the sky was a vicious black and dotted around land were the remains of the Eva series, still impaled on their mock Lance Of Longinus'.

A million and one thoughts raced through his head, was he the only one still there? Was it only this area that was like this? What had happened to the others? Had he made the right decision?

He looked back to the necklace he had in his hand and a sole tear fell down his cheek, he looked up again towards the horizon and looked out. Something out there caught his eye as he turned to look again. There was nothing there, but for one short moment he swore he could have seen the figure or Rei Ayanami standing out there among the ocean of LCL. He fell back to his knees and curled up, suddenly feeling very alone.

A/N: Ok so that's the new chapter one complete, its more of a prologue then anything but it gives more insight into the crew of the ship and also expands on who they are and gives a bit more of the character information that was lacking in the old version. The next chapter will bring more of the Evangelion characters into it, I just wanted to use this one to show Shinji returning to reality after Instrumentality. Next one will see Asuka returning.

Special thanks go out to my pre reader Ste Percival, for taking the time to look through this and assist in fixing any mistakes.
