In the year 1994, a giant meteorite impacted with the Wuhan prefecture in China. This disaster instantly sparked a massive conflict that became known as World War Three. Six years later, the war ended as suddenly as it began, leaving the world to recover from the brink of destruction. The official explanation for the Wuhan disaster provided the people with the answer they expected, and the nations returned to their peaceful hibernation of rebuilding after the war. America was left badly damaged from the worldwide confrontation, with most of its coastal cities abandoned for the new metropolises that were built inland.
The year is now 2021 A.D., and the peaceful calm is suddenly shattered by the appearance of the “Xenoframesâ€, a race of advanced, cybernetic entities hell-bent on the destruction of the world. The only thing that stands in their way of conquest is the organization Nova and their Revenant robots. Piloted by a small group of inexperienced teenagers, these giant machines are the only means of destroying the approaching alien threat, which will stop at nothing to fulfill its insidious task. Prepare yourself for a confrontation of epic proportions in the first volume of Revelation: The Awakening!
Suddenly, RahXephon is much less of an Evangelion rip-off. :P
