26 years in the future, Goddess of the Earth universe…

Starting the water to the shower, one Aya Morisato adjusts the water to her liking. Then slips in for a much needed warm shower; winter was setting on the Morisato temple. And that meant another year was about to pass for Aya being in her parents home universe. Totaling now seven yeas since her grandparents ripped her from the world she knew as home, from the people that raised her since her father, Kou had passed away. As for her mother, Anata? She had died during child birth. And most of all since she was ripped from her love, Sousuke Ikari. The son of Shinji and Asuka Ikari. At first she hated her grandparents for taking her from her home, even if it was a post Third Impact world. It was still home.

Living in a world that was untouched by the devastation of Third Impact, was different to Aya. She wasn't used to all the people, the machines, and the noise. It some times sickened her to see people take for granted the things that at one time for Aya was hard to find. Things such as food; she grew up helping her father with the garden, and then when he untimely passed away she helped her god parents Shinji and Asuka. She even found it disturbing how in the heavens gods and goddesses used their powers for everything. When she was tough that it's best to spare her powers (What little they where.) until it was really needed.

Aya like her mother was born with her powers but she couldn't use them as much. But she still got her training from her father, well as much as he could teach. But the point was she has powers, but hardly never used them. She lived as a Human, it was best that way, it was best not to show off those powers, especially when she lived in a world that could need lots of help. But Aya, as much as she wanted to provide that help couldn't. She lived as a normal human as much as she can… Even now, living her parent's home universe.

Looking up into the shower head, letting the water hit her face. Aya took in this moment; she still liked hot water at command. When she would have to rather start a fire to heat up enough hot water, or wait until the sun was out long enough to heat up the water tank. Either way it took some waiting. Taking in a deep breath, Aya then rested her head on the wall of the shower. Then Aya opened her eyes watching the dye to her hair run down her arm. It seems like blood to her, as she watched it. Sure she could have easily asked her grandmother to take her out to have it done, but it helped her remember the time she spent with her aunt Asuka, and the time they would dye they're hair with natural dyes.

But deep down for years before she was ripped from her home universe to her parents, she knew that she wasn't really meant to be there, nor was her parents. Then that was made more clear to her as she adjusted to life with her grandparents, Keiichi and Belldandy.

"Aya!" Belldandy called from the hallway. "Hurry up or your breakfast will get cold!"

Shutting off the water, Aya stepped out of the shower. Quickly she wrapped her self with a near by towel.

"I'll be there in a minute Grandma!"

Stepping over to the mirror, Aya whipped the fog off of it. Her bright green eyes looked back at her. She stood there just looking into her own eyes; she could see her own planes, her thoughts where clear.

"Time… Time, along with my mother's ear rings and reactors is the only thing I have working with me." she whispered to her self. "Grandmother and Great Grandfather said that what I want to do is forbidden; tampering with the past can alter the present. That's the idea."

Looking down by the bathroom sink, Aya grabbed the ear rings that belonged to her mother. Drying off her short red, Rei style hair; Aya readies her self. For what may be something that can land her in the Lunar prisons. If she was that lucky….

Present day, Evangelion universe…

Two days had passed since Natsuki attacked NERV, and still none of the resident gods and goddesses wanted to anything. Sure still they went to their jobs so they can keep the apartment, but that was about it. Fiona and Anata didn't even both going to school. Anata was trying to understand what Kou had told her about the Eva batteries and her goddess powers not mixing well. To put it in to a nut shell, she became something like a demon, like Natsuki. Anata was frightened by that. Knowing that something like that dwelled in her. The shear idea of it made her sick; she hated that part of her. And wished that she could rather full human or full goddess, but there was no amount of wishing that could change who and what she was. Fiona, like always. Worried for her sister. And tried her best to cheer her up. But she too wasn't feeling up to doing anything. Raziel spent his time out side of work visiting Rei in the hospital as she recovered.

Sitting there beside her bed, Raziel waited for her to wake up from a late afternoon nape. Raziel didn't like how Rei, one of the few people he could really call a friend was hurt because problems fallowed him and the others to this world.

"I'm sorry that she fallowed us here Rei." Raziel said in a whisper. "I'm sorry that I wasn't strong enough to get Natsuki off of you… Damn it I'm sorry for just not being there."

Closing his eyes, Raziel could hear the radio chatter from the battle. It tore him up inside.

"Why are you sorry?"

Opening his eyes, Raziel saw that Rei was awake. "How long where you awake?" He asked with a small smile.

"When you walked in with Kou's cooking." Rei replied. "I would have opened my eyes, but the left one still hurts."

Raziel's smile shrunk to a frown. "Sorry."

Rei tried to set up, but the pain was too great. "We both had our orders, mine was to intercept Natsuki. Yours was to defend the central dogma." Rei said. "There is nothing to apologize for."

"Rei you're my friend and you where in trouble from something that was mine and the other's problem to start with." Raziel explained.

Rei shook her head. "It is not good to dwell on the past and the should of or could of, but focus on the here and now. That is what is important."

Hearing those words made Raziel feel slightly better, but he still felt that there could have been something he could have done. But it was true, and Rei was right. "You're right Rei…. You know you sounded like my Aunt Belldandy."

"She sounds like a wise person."

Raziel was about to say something to agree with Rei, but the door to her hospital room opened. Turning around to see who it was then froze when he saw it was Gendo Ikari.

"I would like to speak to Rei in privet." Gendo said, his voice seeming to demean Raziel.

Raziel turned to Rei, where he was met with a reinsuring nod. Getting up off the chair, Raziel started for the door but stopped short of it then turned back around. "You had no right."

"Excuse me?"

"I said you had no right to screw around with something that you don't understand." Explained Raziel. "It's dangerous, and stupid."

"Who are you to judge my actions?" Gendo asked.

"I know the four of us are not native of this world, but we where kind enough to fix a problem that fallowed us… Just take it as friendly advice." Answered Raziel then he started to turn away.

"Are you not one of the two that can turn in to an Evangelion?" Gendo asked making Raziel stop again. "I would like to study yours and the other one's powers and abilities. In return I can tell you what the Evangelion is."

Raziel thought about the offer for a moment and knew that at least Fiona would like to know more about the whole Evangelion thing. But from the looks and feeling that he was getting from NERV's commander. He figured that it was like making a deal with the devil. "No deal."

Raziel then turned back around and started to walk out again, but before leaving the room he stopped again. "Rei, I'll stop by later."

Once Raziel was out of the room, Gendo took the seat that was once used by Raziel. "How are you feeling Rei?"

"The doctor said that my recovery is coming along." Rei replied.

"Rei, do you know where I may find those four?" He asked.

"Commander, have I not asked anything of you?" Rei asked back.

This response took Gendo off guard. "No… No I do not believe that you have."

"Commander those people that helped us, are good people and only wish to return to their homes." Rei said. "I ask you to please not have them get involved with NERV."

Gendo looked at the blue haired girl and then stood back up. "I will take that under…. Advisement." Then he walked out of the room. Once out of the room he reached in to his coat and pulled out a cell phone. "This is Ikari, I want to know who those four where, and where they live."

Back at the apartment, Kou sat there against the side the bed, next to Anata as she laid there on the bed. Rolling over Anata placed her hand on to Kou's head, making him turn around. "You're up?" he asked.

"Cant just lay about all day now can I?" she asked back. "Kou you didn't know that was going to happen please let it go."

Kou shook his head. "I was careless. I should have thought it through more."

Anata squinted her eyes then lightly slapped Kou. "You bought Shinji time, Natsuki was taken care of. And to me that's all that matters."

Just then there was a knock at the door, Fiona walked over and answered it. It was Shinji and Asuka.

"Please come in." Fiona said stepping to the side.

"How's it going you guys?" Asuka asked.

The three gave a grim look.

"We where worried because we haven't heard a word from you four… say where's Raziel?" Shinji asked.

"At the hospital visiting Miss. Rei." Kou replied.

"So you two going to school in the morning?" Asuka asked.

Fiona shook her head. "I don't know I really don't feel like doing much of anything."

"Well you guys get over and come over to our place for a little get together. Something to cheer you guys up some." Asuka said.

"Sorry Asuka but we kind of don't feel like it." Anata said.

"You guys get over it! Trust me we go through this a lot, we have to fight angles to protect the Earth, so yeah we know how you feel. But we manage to get on with our lives."

Kou, Anata and Fiona looked at each other. Asuka was right. They still needed to focus on getting back and mopping around wasn't solving anything.

"When is it?" Kou asked.

"Tonight."

"Well when Raziel returns home, we'll start heading there." Fiona said.

"Good, we'll see you guys later." Asuka said then she and Shinji left.

26 years in the future, Goddess of the Earth universe.

Old habits die hard; even Aya now lived in a world that had food easily assessable by walking to your local corner store. But it was something about working with the dirt and growing something that someone can share with friends and family made her feel better about this world that she was living in. and it was relaxing. Not noticing her grandmother watching her, Aya went about weeding her small garden.

"Aya dear, you've been quite all day." Belldandy said. "Is there something the matter?"

Looking up from behind a row of plants, Aya shielded her eyes from the bright sun. "Just thinking is all." Aya said then returned to her work.

Belldandy then approached her grand daughter's work. And kneeled down and lightly took hold of a bright red tomato. "Goodness, these tomatoes look good."

"They're not ready yet for harvesting, maybe in about a week or so." Aya stated. "The watermelon should be ready in about a month or so."

"Well I simply can't wait to see how they taste." Belldandy said as she stood back up.

"Was there anything you needed grandma?" Aya asked, this time not looking up from her work.

"Yes, I was about to make some tea. I was wondering if you would like some." She asked.

"Thank you, but no thanks." Aya answered. "As soon as I'm finished here I'm going to clean up and run to the heavens."

"Oh… will you be home in time for dinner?"

"Yeah I'll be back in time for dinner." Aya answered.

Walking back in to the house, Belldandy noticed a small sign post off to the side of the garden. It was small and simple with something inscribed on it. Walking up to it Belldandy read it out loud to her self.

"And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east; and there He put the man whom He had formed. And out of the ground the Lord God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food." Belldandy said then she looked off to the bottom right of the sign, Genesis 2:89.

"What dose it mean?" Belldandy asked looking over to Aya.

"It was something that was on the main entrance to the NERV Complex. When my dad was a live, I would wait for him there at the surface while he blessed those that died during the SEELE attack that took place before Third Impact." Aya replied. "I thought it would be right to have something like that by the garden. I had one back hom….." Aya stopped short from what she was about to say, then looked at her grandmother. "….back home…."

"It's okay I understand. You still see that place as your home, and you'll more then likely always will." Belldandy stated. "Dinner will be ready around five o' clock."

Watching her grandmother walk back in to the Temple, Aya sat down on the dirt. 'Much like growing a garden; having the right tools for the job is important. In fixing things that was not meant to be I'll need to be ready for any thing that can and will happen…' Aya thought to her self.

Present day, Evangelion Universe…

Fly me to the moon

And let me play among the stars

Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars

In other words, hold my hand!

In other words, darlings, kiss me

Fill my heart with song

And let me sing forevermore

You are all I long for

All I worship and adore

In other words, please be true!

In other words, I love you!

Finishing her turn with the Karaoke machine, Fiona put the microphone back on its stand as the others clapped and cheered.

"Oh come on you guys it wasn't that great!" She said more then a little embarrassed.

Taking a quick swig of her beer, Misato put her arm around that young goddess and pulled her close. "Embarrassed?" she asked, making Fiona pinch her nose. Trying to hide it from the smell of Misato's booze. "You're just as easy as Shinji-Kun."

"Geese thanks Misato…." Shinji grumbled. "Okay Asuka have you picked on yet?" He asked looking up from the machine.

"Hell yeah this damn machine dose have it! Okay Shinji I'll do number two thirty seven." Asuka replied as she set the song book down and got up from the floor. "If you guys thought that was good, prepared to be blown away!"

Everyone sat there and blinked at Asuka a couple of times.

"Don't give me that look!" She said to the others. But still was getting a blank look back. Almost as bad as a look Rei would give. "What ever! Shinji start the song!"

You and I in a little toy shop
buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, "Something's out there"
Floating in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by.

99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine, it springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
As 99 red balloons go by.

99 Decision Street, 99 ministers meet
To worry, worry, super-scurry
Call out the troops now in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As 99 red balloons go by.

99 Kriegsminister
Streichholz und Benzinkanister
Hielten sich fuer schlaue Leute
Witterten schon fette Beute
Riefen: Krieg und wollten Macht
Mann, wer haette das gedacht
Dass es einmal soweit kommt
Wegen 99 Luftballons

99 dreams I have had
In every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
In the dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenier
Just to prove the world was here...
And here it is, a red balloon
I think of you and let it go.

Quickly clapping and cheering. Shinji stood up. "That was pretty good Asuka, even it I didn't know what it was about."

"Me nether, but I still like it." Asuka said as she took her seat next to Shinji. And it was rather close too.

"It's about a possible World War three breaking out because people jumping the gun." Misato stated. "I came around in the 80's I barley remember is, I was little when it first came out."

"The 80's? As in the 1980's?" Asuka asked. "You're that old?"

"HAY!" Misato shouted as she crushed her beer can. "I'm twenty eight!"

"Yeah that's old." Asuka said taking a drink of her soda.

"Why you little!" Misato said just before she attempting to jump at Asuka, but Fiona held her back.

"Miss. Katsuragi, why don't you have another beer?" Fiona said handing the woman an other can.

"Alright more!"

Misato promptly cracked the can open and chugged about half the can. "YAY! That some good stuff!"

"Hay Raziel why don't you go next?" Fiona asked. "You'll pretty good."

"No that's alright; I really don't feel right being at a party while Rei's sitting there in a hospital bed." Raziel said shaking his head. "Someone else can go ahead."

"Wonder Girl is in there a lot, just go and take your turn." Asuka said. "Wait? You don't have a thing for her do you?"

"No!"

Anata looked over at him with an evil glare. "You had better not you're seeing my best friend!"

"I haven't forgotten about Yuu!" Raziel yelled back. "Rei is more like a good friend, then anything else."

Feeling a hand on his shoulder, Raziel looked over to see Kou standing behind him. "Friend or love one, Miss. Rei would want you to have a good time none the less." He said. "Raziel go and take your turn."

Standing up, Raziel took the book that had the list of songs and started to flip through it. "Alright, but I'm not if this thing don't have what I'm looking for."

"That's good enough for us." Anata said.

Going through the book some more, Raziel stopped on a page and looked at it closely. "Okay Shinji number five ninety three."

Shinji then put the numbers in to the machine, as Raziel walked up to the front of the others. Then the music started.

Hybrid Rainbow- The Pillows

Everyone there in the apartment cheered, and was blown away by how great Raziel's singing voice was. Tossing the microphone to Anata, he looked at her. "Your turn, and no backing out on this one."

"Damn it Raziel you know I cant sing even if my life depended on it!" Anata yelled back.

"Raziel that was freaking great!" Misato said giving him a bone crushing hug. "You should make money off of that voice of yours."

"No haven't really thought about it…. Look if I had to go you have to also." Raziel said looking over at Anata. "It's only fair."

"Okay… I'll do this, but if anyone laughs they'll have to answer to me! Understand!" Anata said as she took the song book and started to flip through it….

But little did anyone know, out side that apartment complex sat a Section 2 van. One of the agents looked over at the other. "Looks like they're in Major's apartment."

"Should we call the commander?" the other asked.

"No, not yet we need to get all the facts first." He answered. "We'll watch some more, before I call."

26 years in the future, Goddess of the Earth Universe…

Coming through the water gate, in to the central hub of the heavens. Aya looked around looking for what she came there for. It was still strange for he to go to the heavens, she was always told that the heavens where not attempt to go to. Because they where not the heavens her parents had worked for. Se everything Aya went there she felt a little out of place.

Finding the information center, Aya walked up to the goddess behind the counter. "Excuse me, but where may I find the Goddess Anata's reactors?"

The goddess typed in the request on her harp keyboard, and shook her head. "I'm sorry ma'am but that information had deemed classified."

"Well… You see I'm Anata Morisato's daughter." Aya added. Then she placed her hand on a smooth stone slab, and then an automated voice announced her information.

"Goddess, second class. Unlimited, Aya Morisato. Clearance level 2." The vice said.

"Oh! Please forgive me My Lady, the reactors are in section 289." The goddess said.

"Don't worry about it, you didn't know who I was. You where doing your job." Aya said before she walked away.

And that was the reason why Aya felt a little out of place. Here her name carried some power. All because of her mother and grandmother, they both at one time or the other saved the Earth. And also besides the small fact that she's the great grandchild of God him self, that alone was enough to pretty much get what ever she wanted. But using power was something she could never get used to and would much rather live out life with out.

The walk to her mother's four great reactors didn't take long, but when she got there she stood there at the large doors. Placing her hands on them she waited for a moment before she pushed them open. When she first saw them she was amazed that her mother used them just for power to user her goddess powers. And the size… the size was staggering, along with the fact that they where still running. But this was not the reason of her trip. She needed the reactors to help her, help her fix things.

"You four helped my mother during some rough times, I hear." Aya said to the towering reactors. "I ask you, please help me in making sure my mother and father return here to this world." She then pulled out a small computer desk and slid it in to a control panel at the base of a reactor labeled R-1.

"Please…. Not reject the program." Aya said to her self. Then she waited. Then blue lights ran from the panel out to the four reactors. Then nothing. Giving up Aya turned and started for the doors when she heard a rumble, turning back around she saw a white light run back from the tops of all four reactors back in to the control panel. Running back to it she looked at the screen to the panel, she read out loud t her self what was on the screen.

"Program accepted, awaiting connection…" she looked up to the reactors and smiled. "Thank you."

With her eyes closed, she placed her hand on to the R-1 reactor. Green beams of lights then shot from her hand and up to the tops of the reactors; fallowing the wires. Then snapping her eyes open, they flashed a bright green.
