A/N Asuka will be OOC a bit from here on out due to the fact that her mom is alive somewhat. Tell me what you think. Sorry it took so long I tried to go slower to take my time.
Shinji ZERO
Chapter 5
All Good Things part I
End Game
Lilith's plan was simple, her normal form in Terminal Dogma was to be destroyed, then she in her human form would merge with unit 00's core and release Shinji. Then two of the other angels whose souls were trapped in the chamber of Gaff upon their destruction would enter the other two Evas and free the persons trapped with in. With Rei's assurance that Lilith could be trusted Commander Fuyutsuki ordered Asuka in Unit 02 into Lilith's chamber with two N2 devices to insure nothing of the old corpse survived. This would also end SEELE's plans for Third Impact since they needed Lilith's normal form. Also once fused into Unit 00 there was no chance her human one would be used.
Asuka sat in her Eva conversing with her mother on the slow trip into Terminal Dogma
"So have you talked to Shinji?"
"Not yet"
"You need to you know"
"I know, but now I know I'll get to see him again, so im going to wait until I can tell him in person"
"Ok"
Ritsuko monitored Asuka's descent from the main bridge control room with Misato, Commander Fuyutsuki, Kaoru, Rei's "sisters", Lilith in her human form and everyone else. Because of the danger SEELE attacking to stop this operation Rei sat in Unit 01 awaiting launch. Once Asuka hit the bottom, an area called The Valley of Death Ritsuko directed her toward liliths chamber which was sealed by what was called Heavens Doors. There crucified to a large red cross was the white angel form of Lilith Once the doors were opened Asuka wasted no time, she placed an N2 mine at the base of liliths cross and then drew her progressive knife. She cut into the angel's chest and forced a second N2 into it.
"This is Asuka, mission complete, can I come up now"
Misato responded
"Good work Asuka come on up"
Misato then paused for a moment
"Somebody wants to say hi"
Misato switched the com line over, a familiar, soft, and welcome voice filled Asuka's ears
"Hi…Asuka"
Asuka smiled contently, only one person could make her feel this way
"Hi baka, you doing ok"
Shinji was a bit taken back, Asuka had never shown him this much concern before
"Yeah I'm alright, all considering. Rei told me they found a way to get me out. That Lilith was going to take my place in here"
"Yeah, that's how it's going to work"
Lilith decided it was time to fill Nerv in on the rest of her plan
"Actually that not all"
Everyone on the bridge and Asuka in unit 02 blinked, Misato asked the obvious question
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I had not intended to bring Shinji back alone, he and Asuka have endured much in their lives. So with Tabris's help I have convinced two of the other Angels to take the places of Yui and Kyoko"
If those two could have jumped up and down with joy, they would have. Rei senesced the joy of her mother, Yui and was softly smiling in the cockpit of Unit 01. Asuka was all smiles while she conversed with an equally happy Shinji. They were finally going to find out what it meant to have a family; the three children were getting their mothers back. Then a thought occurred to Fuyutsuki
"Which angels"
Lilith just grinned
"Sachiel and Zeruel, why"
Ritsuko nodded and Kaoru commented
"Good choice the 3rd and 14th angels"
The kids didn't care; they were going to have a family by the end of the day, and Asuka. All she could think was
'I'm getting my mama back, I'm getting my baka Shinji back, my god can it get any better than this'
Asuka locked Unit 02 back into its cage after the ten minute assent from Terminal Dogma. After saying good bye to her mom she jumped out of Unit 02 and headed to the bridge.
"It's done Misato"
"Good work Asuka"
"Let me talk to baka"
Misato had never known Asuka to want to talk to shinji
"Umm…alright"
She handed Asuka the headset. She put it on and sat in the chair beside of Misato
"Hay Shinji"
After a moment he answered
"Hay…everything ok Asuka"
"Oh yeah every thing is perfect"
Shinji would have smiled if he could he had never known Asuka to be so happy.
"I've never heard you like this…you're…really happy"
"Of course my baka, in an hour my life will be prefect. I'll have my mama back, hell in an hour you and your mom will be back to"
"Yeah we will be…listen Auska…I wana ask you something later ok"
Asuka already knew what he wanted, and it made her even happier. Shinji had grown a backbone and she liked it.
"Cant wait baka, cant wait"
One of the techs announced over her Com
"We are now starting countdown sequence, close all shutters and bulkheads leading to terminal dogma and evacuate the lower sections of central dogma, Repeat close all shutters and bulkheads leading to terminal dogma and evacuate the lower sections of central dogma"
Everyone on the bridge sat in silence. Ritsuko and her staff had planed this operation to the smallest detail. The two floors above liliths chamber would be destroyed in the blast while 2 above that would take moderate damage. The floors to be destroyed included the cloning lab where Rei and her sisters were born. The MAGI records of how this was done would be deleted at the same time insuring there would never be another Rei created
"Maya initiate sequence once all personnel are evacuated from those floors"
"Yes ma'am, now on stand by for detonation sequence will commence once all personnel are evacuated"
A few moments alter the all clear came Maya reported
"Ma'am all personnel are now out of the affected areas"
"Good, start detonation sequence"
"Sequence activated T-minus 30 to detonation"
The technicians monitored the countdown on the monitors, as the count down reached the last few seconds, Maya counted the off
"Now 10 seconds to detonation

Detonate"
The entirety of central dogma was rocked by the force of the blast. Any technician or other personnel who were standing were thrown off of their feet. Even some who were seated were knocked over. Commander Fuyutsuki, Ritsuko, Misato and Asuka were thrown to the floor. Kaoru just steadied himself with his AT Field and Rei, who was still in Unit 01, just rode it out. After the shock had ended and everyone steadied them selves the sub commander ordered Rei in Unit 01 into Terminal Dogma to survey the damage. She reported that everything from the cloning labs and below had been totally vaporized. She then began her assent.
Ritsuko then turned to her technical team
"Now activate the erase program and destroy all data relevant to Rei from Balthazar. Then run the same program in Melchior and Casper"
"Yes ma'am"
With in a few key strokes and moments later all relevant data to Rei and any process used to create her and her sisters had been erased.
Once all relevant data was erased and Rei had returned Lilith decided it was time to commence. The commander turned to Ritsuko
"Doctor I need you to prepare a plug for Lilith, also connect units 02 and 01 directly to the chamber of gaff as Lilith instructed"
"Already on it"
A while later Unit 00's Entry plug had been prepared. Doctor Akagi and her staff had also connected Units 01 and 02 to the chamber of Gaff to commence he transfer on those two as well.
Asuka, Rei, Misato, Rei's sisters, Commander Fuyutsuki, Dr Akagi and her staff sat in the control room for the Eva cages. Rei was quietly conversing with Shinji over a com line while Asuka looked around the room. Her casual look stopped on Rei's "sisters". While her staff mad preparations for the transfer Dr Akagi had preformed exams on each of them. Rika the only one to still look slightly similar to Rei was now the only one to hold any form of DNA relation to her. The others were now individual; none of the others shared many genes. 'I guess that makes her Shinji's sister to, Im going to have to get use to this'.
Misato walked up to Rei and taped her on the shoulder. Rei removed the headset and turned to her
"Yes"
"Rei we need to go over the procedure with Shinji now ok"
She nodded
"That is fine"
After saying goodbye to him she stood and walked over to where the others were standing. Asuka knowing she needed to talk to Rei walked over to her
"Listen wonder girl we need to talk"
She pulled Rei aside and down an empty hallway
"Why did you bring me here?"
Asuka could tell she wasn't angry about being pulled like that, just curious as to why she needed to talk to her, it was time to do something Asuka never thought she would ever do
"Listen wonder girl I just …wanted to say…sorry"
Rei just tilted her head curiously and continued to listen
"I never really tried to get to know you; I was a bitch, arrogant, heartless, and im sorry. I just get frustrated and mad easily. I guess I just wanted to ask if…maybe…we could try to be friends"
Rei was impressed to say the least. With the pain mostly lifted from her Asuka was a totally different person. She smiled and nodded
"Yes I think so"
Asuka smiled back
"Thanks"
"I just have two requirements"
"What is it?"
"One, call me Rei, that is my name. And two, I ask that you not break my brothers heart"
Asuka smiled and nodded
"Sure thing, that won't be so hard"
"Well then, friend, shall we go and check on my brother"
"Yeah sure"
A/N Whew that took a while, I hope it's good for everyone. I tried to go into more detail and will do so with the rest of the chapters. And yes I know All Good Things was the title of the last two episodes of Star Trek TNG and no I don't own that either
Next chapter All Good Things part II Family Ties
