Only a few months since the Mass Awakening, Monarch attempts to move Kong into the Hollow Earth in a joint mission with Apex and Agari Industries. However the threat of Kagutsuchi still remains present as he attacks Apex and Agari facilities, before turning his sights on Kong. Meanwhile, NERV faces its own issues while their pilots are out on a day off in the form of a Virus, while the EVA Pilots find themselves in the middle of a fight without their EVAs. The PPDC continues their fight against the breach, however there remains a bigger threat in the form of a deadly force slowly growing in power… a Hybrid.
