ALWAYS AND FOREVER
Part 13: The Secret

"What the hell?!
How can this be?!
What's going on?!"
Cried a frantic Shinji.

The doctor began to speak,
"This is my doing,
As well as your father's...
A product of genetic engineering."

"Rei..." The major started.
"There's not one, not two, but more..."
She turned to the doctor, trembling.
This had struck her to the very core.

Ritsuko bowed her head in shame,
"We created Rei and cloned her,
To be used as dummy plugs
In case problems occur."

Misato stepped back, horrified.
Never in her life did she assume this.
She looked back at her other companion,
Wondering how he was taking this.

Not a word nor a sound
Came from Shinji,
Until such time he said,
"That's why she wasn't Ayanami.."

The major stared at him in shock
Not knowing what to say,
Beside her the doctor lifted up a remote
And pressed a button at bay.


Almost immediately
They could hear some rumbling
Oh dear,
Sounds like the walls are crumbling!

The major and the boy
Looked up to see
The tanks that held the clones
Are crumbling slowly.

"What's happening?"
The major cried.
"I'm destroying it,"
Was the doctor's only reply.

The clones fell
One by one,
Broken apart
Till there was none.
