No, mass-production Evanglion units. Like the ones in EoE, lol

I'm working on a full summary translation right now.

Here is the first part:

Spoiler for First part of the story:

Shinji awakes in a sarcophagus.
He is chained to a gurney and guards dressed in unknown uniform with blue berets are unambiguously afraid of him(or maybe uneasy being near him). Unknown girl is asking him questions like does he remember who he is. Shinji recollects the last moments of 2.0

Gurney then taken to a facility, that remotely resembles the old Nerv center, but defenetly not the same. There, Shinji meets Misato, RItsuko and some other characters from the old Nerv staff. All of them look different, all grown up and aged. Shinji is trying to ask questions, most of them being ignored. Soon he notices a device on this neck, the remote controller for which is in Misato’s posession. He tries asking what is it, but he’s being ignored again. Misato presses button on the remote and some symboles appear on the necklace - the device confirmes that Shinji is still a human being. Shinji receives a bit more freedom now, but at this very moment new angel appears.

We now see that the base is situated somewhere in Arctic(or Antarctic), where the great fleet is fighting new underwater angel. The fleet is led by a flying ship Wunder, that uses S2 engines and is able to generate AT-field(Eva-01 is being used as a core of the ship), and that’s where main characters are.

Shinji asks what he need to do. He is willing to help, but Ritsuko coldly answers that he has already done enough.
During the fight with an angel Mari and Asuka using underwater equipment for Evas turn on ship’s S2 engine and take all the fleet and the angel, that was clinging to a flagship, into the air. Wunder destroys the angels using it main cannons(the angel is similar to the one Asuka and Mari were fighting in space).

When everything quiets down, Shinji is taken to an interrogation room. There he meets a lieutenant girl he was accompanied by. This appeares to be Suzuhara Sakura - Toji’s little sister. Shinji is a bit disoriented by all this stuff, because he remembers her as a 7-year girl, and now she is in her early 20s. Shinji is shocked to learn that since the last moments of 2.0 fourteen years have passed. He also told that his current sync-level is zero and he won’t be able to pilot Eva anymore.

Shinji tries to found out what happend to Ayanami Rei, as he remembers he had saved her. But he is told that the only thing that was found in a plug capsule besides him was his cassette player. It isn’t of any interest, so it’s being returned to him.

Asuka enters the room, it seems she hasn’t changed one bit. And she is totally not amused by seeing Shinji. She soon breaks down and demonstrates an inhuman strength by almost breaking up bulletproof glass with a fist(not sure if exaggeration). She looks a bit dissatisfied with her own emotional break down and says she was going to hold back, but couldn’t when she saw Shinji. When she is asked why does she looks the same as 14 years ago - she answers that this is Eva’s curse.

No other info is given in a movie, but it is implied that eva pilots do not age. Shinji is still confused and upset. It feels that everybody hate him and deny that he save Rei. At this moment he hears Ayanami’s voice in his head, it seems she is searching for him. He answers to her and this very moment the wall near him breaks and Eva, that looks like Eva-00, sticks it’s hand inside, asking to join her.

All ships open fire on Eva. Shinji is shocked that Misato’s forces attacking Eva. Misato tells him they are not part of Nerv now, but a new organization Wille, hostile to Nerv. It becomes obvious that Misato is aware of Human Instrumentality Project and aims to destroy all Nerv’s Evas. Despite Sakura begging Shinji not to follow Rei, Shinji, offended by Misato’s and others treatment and also convinced they were lying about Rei - takes a step onto the Eva’s steel hand. The last thing he hears before loosing his consciousness is Sakura, who is begging him not to pilot Eva ever.
