Morning everyone. So before we begin yes this update is three days old. I said it before but this month I am slow on updates. My apologies.

Thank you knight7572 and Scattershot98 for your feedback, thoughts, and questions. I also like to thank the readers along with those that favorited and/or followed the story.

Shinji stood in front of her father's desk. With him finally sobering it up he had called for his son now daughter to came to him. There was an awkward silence as Gendo stared at her. Unsure on what to do. Much like Rei, she seemed to appear a lot like Yui. Thinking about his wife only lowered his mood. "Should I address you as Shinji or would you prefer Lucifer?"

Hearing this caused Shinji to wonder about what she should be addressed as. Technically she was Lucifer. The body and soul reunited in a new form. But she was also Shinji a fourteen-year-old boy who spent much of his life in a state of quiet sadness. In a way, she wasn't either of them anymore. "I think Shinji is fine for right now."

There were so many questions he wanted answers for. After several moments he finally settled on one of them. "Did you always know?" This one was a more personal matter to him and probably Yui. "What you were?"

"No only until after I got to Tokyo-3 after I piloted the Eva and blacked out." Shinji was starting to feel a bit of an identity issue. Gendo's question and her inability to speak to Lucy made her wonder if both Shinji and Lucy were gone and whatever she was came about because of it.

While she had a crisis of identity Gendo was having his own crisis. Just looking at Shinji made him question their relationship, or rather what could pass as one. He had no illusions that he wasn't a terrible father. Leaving your son at a train station because you couldn't see yourself raising him was to many a sign he shouldn't be one. This just made it even harder on him. "Does your mother know?"

Even saying that just sounded weird to Gendo. Shinji gave him a nod in confirmation. "She does."

At this point, Gendo wouldn't be surprised if Yui always knew. If the reason she made him promise was to protect the vessel for Lucifer's soul. Sure, Gendo didn't know that it was also a surprise to her but given everything else he was willing to believe it. "Very, well if you have any issues with your new form Ritsuko should be able to help you," As for the issue of ID Cards he was going to have to get a new one for her. "You are dismissed."

Rei sat on the bed that she and Asuka shared as she thought about herself. Now that everything had calmed down she finally had time to herself. Ever since the fragment of her soul representing the first Rei returned to her she felt conflicted. Her first self was much like her current self accepting of her roll in the scenario. At least until she was left in Eva-00.

The prototype wasn't like the other Evangelions. The truth was it had been salvaged and put together using parts from each of the failed Evangelions within the graveyard. Machinery was used to fill in any gaps and allow the organic parts to function. A Frankenstein's monster was the best description of the thing and being inside it. Rei gripped herself. 'I didn't like that.'

That was where the hate for Gendo came from. After so long within it, the fragment came to utterly hate him. It's first attempt at a rampage when she had gotten hurt was her attempting to find and hurt him. "The Commander never cared for me."

Placing her hand on her chest she recalled the feelings that she felt from Asuka. The joy and happiness of seeing her mother. It was then that Rei knew what being an orphan was. The moment she was removed from the tank she wasn't cared for her like her sister.

Asuka was handed to Kyoko to be given as a child for her. Kyoko embraced it and Asuka saw herself as her daughter in full as well. Rei was artificially aged into being a few years old. She was never meant to have anything of a normal childhood. 'Or was I?'

Yui had made her originally. She didn't know but she was certain her clones only existed because of the Commander altering something to spark the development of them. As she thought of it the more the feeling of anger about him returned. 'Was I originally supposed to be like my sister and grow up as someone's daughter?'

The thought of growing up with a mother or a family passed through her mind. A little daydream of her having a parent who loved and cared for her like Kyoko for Asuka crossed through her mind. The fantasy only served to feed her anger. In that one moment, Rei could see that her first self had a point in disliking Gendo.

Shinji walked into the apartment with Misato following behind. Pen Pen was first to greet them and looked at Shinji in confusion. The rather intelligent penguin couldn't put his flipper on it but the female in front of him felt familiar. Seeing his confusion Misato decided to explain it to him. "Pen Pen there was an accident at NERV and now Shinji here is a girl."

Pen Pen looked at the now changed girl with a bewildered expression. At least that's what it seemed to be. Asuka made herself known as she looked at the now girl. "Yes, an accident with him killing the Angel."

Asuka was there and saw it. The Angel wasn't defeated. No, instead it had come looking for Its soul which happened to have been within Shinji. While the Commander made in very clear that no one was to talk about it and made up some stupid tail about it being destroyed Asuka wanted answers. Shinji was terrified of facing her right now.

At that moment Misato let out a loud yawn. She had been up for almost two days now and it was starting to get to her. "Well, I think I need to check into bed just don't do anything loud alright."

As she walked past them Shinji felt like a deer in the headlights. She didn't want to be left with Asuka especially given the way she was looking at her. 'It's kind of cute actually.' That did not just cross her mind. "S-so, you w-what answers?"

"And I am getting them one way or an another."

When was the last time he had come down here? Gendo stood in front of the LCL lake and the figure that had been crucified on the red cross. Lilith the Progenitor of all Lilithian life. He had thought that he would be down here to have Rei, and later her and Asuka, return to Lilith to give him back his wife. How foolish was him to think that when the outcome would just be pointless destruction.

A new scenario was needed or rather a new outcome. Instrumentality was off the table. Instead of having thought about it the process might not be needed anyway. He truly didn't know why but he felt like information had been unknowingly parted on him at what they could truly do and the options that exist. "I wonder if there is still anything inside of you?"

He knew the answer and even then he still couldn't believe that such a being could fit inside of Shinji. That wasn't how metaphysical biology worked but as far as he knew maybe that was it. Kozo was more of an expert than him. Continuing to stare at the body of Lilith an idea crossed his mind. Perhaps it was best to return them both to Lilith when all was done anyway. No to cause the Third Impact SEELE or he had wanted but instead to put an end to SEELE, get this wife back, and possibly fix the world.

There were other variables to deal with. Adam was one of them. The embryo was to be handed to him. A question on what he was going to do with it arose. He stopped as his phone started to ring. It was exactly surprising that he could get reception this far underground. "Hello?"

As he talked unknown to him the being crucified before him was aware of his presence. The feeling of the familiar touch of her A.T. field had brought her out of the deep coma and into a state of aware dreaming. "Lucy…"

Lilith could see out two other pairs of eyes. The names Asuka Langley Soryu and Rei Ayanami echoed in her head. These along with Lilith were her names. Each one a part of her. Looking through the eyes of the piece if her named Asuka she saw one of her, no she saw her. Somehow Lucifer was here and in a form like that of her pieces. She was talking about how she ended up on here. "My love."

Asuka looked at Shinji as the words about her finally set in. Lucifer a Progenitor like Lilith had come all the way to earth searching for her. "So, why exactly did you, her, you know what I mean," This was kind of confusing the redhead. "Come looking for her?"

A blush formed in her face. Shinji looked away as the kiss that Asuka gave her when they first met replayed in her mind. "She came because the two of them were in a relationship and she wanted to fulfill their promise to get, well," Shinji looked at her as she managed to swallow her fears. "Married."

There was silence as Asuka mind recalled the flash of memories. The promise that Lucifer and Lilith made. A forbidden love that shouldn't have been. Before Asuka knew it she pulled Shinji to herself and kissed her. As this went on Asuka felt a strong desire, longing, and above all joy at feeling her lips. Shinji, while surprised by this, returned the kiss anyway as the two of them continued to kiss. When Asuka pulled back she whispered in an unknown language that Shinji could understand. "It's been too long Lucifer."

Shinji looked at Asuka's, or rather Lilith's, loving eyes. As soon as that happened Asuka blinked as she wondered what just happened. "What the hell just happened?"

"I think that was Lilith," Shinji was actually amazed that that had just happened. After a bit of thought, it made sense given that the relationship between her and Lilith was likely the same as with her and Lucy.

Asuka, while surprised by this, placed her fingers on her lips. The feeling of kissing Shinji was still fresh in her mind. 'It was kind of nice.' She felt a gentle hand pushing her to forward even though no one was physically there. Asuka looked at the girl below her. "You said that Lucifer and Lilith were planning to get married," Her expression was unreadable for a moment. "Does that mean you feel the same to me and Rei?"

When she tried to answer Shinji stopped herself. A blush formed as she suddenly thought of the three of them together. If she said that then would Asuka attack her? "I…"

She was stopped from talking as Asuka placed her hand on her lips. The redhead had already made a decision about this. These feelings were too strong to ignore. "We can be in a relationship but marriage is a bit much," Personally as much as a part of her, likely the feelings from Lilith, wanted Asuka was a bit too young for that. "Just don't think I'm doing this because Lucifer and Lilith had one alright."

By the sound of it, Shinji wondered if Lilith did have a hand in it. Although when they did meet Asuka did kiss her back when she was a boy. A kiss that she had always enjoyed rather heavily. Maybe it was just inevitable that they would fall in love with each other? 'We are Lucy and Lilith.'

"Now, how about you make us dinner?" Asuka was really hungry and she rather not have taken out right now.

Back in her place tears formed in the eyes of Lilith. They were a mix of joy and sadness. After so long it seemed that they were finally able to be together. The sad part was that Lilith had pictured it being something else. When they both set off Lilith had pictured that both of them would one day meet with their creations following behind them. Finally with their tasks done they could have the relationship that their creators discouraged.

Instead, she learned that she had crashed into this planet and was unable to help her children. The Lilin as they are were not what she had envisioned. Maybe it was due to her not being around to guide their evolution letting random mutation do the work. Sure, in the end, they had the basic form but there was a lot that could have been. Longer life spans, better healing and immune system, and as for the females of the species… 'Why must childbirth be so painful for them along with these periods?'

If she had been around it would have been a truly wondrous thing for them. Something that she wanted to have herself. The progenitors were not made with it in mind. Technically, in a way, all life on earth was her kids but Lilith wanted to have what many of them had. "Can I have it now?"

Both Asuka and Rei were her. Eventually, when all was done she would have to take them back. Although, perhaps instead she could reverse the process and let Rei and Asuka assimilated her. This way she could finally have the means to give her what she desired about all else. 'Babies I can finally have babies of my own to hold in my arms.'

Anyone reading her mind would call her baby crazy. The thing is she wouldn't deny that she was. Reproduction always was the subject of evolution that she took an unhealthy interest in. At least her creators called it unhealthy. Just as they saw her relationship with Lucifer as unnatural. 'At least I won't have to hear from them anymore.'

Misato couldn't believe what she was reading. The JSSDF was going to unveil a new robot that they claim would be a substitute for the Evangelions. The designer of the robots, The Jet Alone Project, seemed unwilling to comment on it while the company making the robot seemed to boast about it. Ritsuko found it almost funny. "Really, they think a bucket of bolts can defeat the Angels."

"Aren't the Evangelions robots?" Misato didn't have the clearance to know the truth of the Evangelions. Like so many they just thought it was robots. Although the rumor that they were alien technology did exist.

Ritsuko cursed herself for letting that slip out. For a moment she thought about what to say but then she remembered that the Commander wasn't here. Her office didn't have recorders and seeing how she was doomed anyway she might as well tell her. "Misato what I am about to tell you is something you can not tell anyone under any circumstances."

She knew when to keep her mouth shut. Whatever Ritsuko was going to tell her was something that the doctor shouldn't be telling her. 'So, the Evangelions are alien technology.' Misato wouldn't get that far ahead of herself. "It's about the Eva's isn't it?"

A nod of confirmation was given before Ritsuko turned on her computer. After several passwords, she showed her an inner schematic of Eva-00. Looking at it Misato's eyes widened as several of the parts were listed as organic. "The Evangelions are actually organic beings we fired with cybernetics and metal plating."

Misato looked at the next one for Eva-01. Unlike Eva-00 which seemed more machine-like Eva-01 had a completely organic body and core. At the sight of a developing S2 organ, Misato knew what this actually was. "They're Angels?!"

"I believe you can call the false Angels," Ritsuko knew how much Misato disliked Angels. The trauma of Second Impact causing it. For a moment she wondered how she would feel of having three half Angels, including the likely reborn one that stopped Second Impact. "Each one is made from cloned tissue and then the mechanical parts are added on, with Eva-00 being the opposite as is its made from salvaged organic parts from the failed Evangelions held in a mechanical frame."

One of NERV's greatest secrets were now before her. The Evangelions were able to fight Angels due to being in a sense ones themselves. "B-but what would happen if one of them wake up and decide to destroy the world?!"

Misato couldn't believe how reckless this was. She was suddenly worried for the pilots. They could be changed by this. Everything about this was wrong so very wrong. "The children could this change them?!"

Ritsuko looked at Misato who was worried about the children piloting. The thing is there was no proof that an Evangelion would change its pilot. There was also the fact that the three of them were currently Nephilim, part Angel themselves, though telling Misato that would probably be a danger for the pilots. "Don't worry we have enough data to know that could never happen."

Mari was bored out of her mind. Who knew being on a warship could be so boring. She wanted to use her powers to elevate said boredom but Kaworu made it clear that wasn't a good idea. With nothing to do she decided to just stay in the quarters that she was given. With nothing to do she started to think about the future concerning herself.

'Ok, so what am I going to do about all of you?' She placed a hand on her stomach and thought about the whole fact that she was now an Angel factory. Kaworu words on peace being possible did make her hopeful but on the other hand, she wondered if it was a good idea to eventually come out with it. 'Eh, I'll burn that bridge when I come to it.'

Pulling out her laptop Mari began to look over a few of the online forums. On the news there was a story on the rising warlord in Africa, India continuing to recover from its nuclear war with Pakistan, China trying to project it's authority again while everyone around it in the South China sea opposing it including members of the U.N. There was almost nothing of note except the JSSDF revealing their new plans for a giant robot. 'The world we live in were now giant robots are a reality.'

Honestly, a part of her wanted to see how well it did against an Evangelion or even an Angel. Thinking about it she did wonder if NERV would try to sabotage it. To Mari, it seemed like such a waste. Typing away she looked at a few things that caught her interests. A knock caught her attention from the boredom of looking at her computer. "Come in."

Kaworu walked into her quarters as she was randomly searching the internet. Seeing how she didn't seem to walk out of them all day Kaworu decided to check on her. "You know I almost expected you to come by to at least eat."

He got a shrug from Mari at this. According to him, her S2 organ allowed her all the energy she needed. The strange organ was explained to be something of an evolutionary marvel. Something the First Ancestral Race developed from fusing their advanced knowledge of genetics and metaphysics. "I don't really feel hungry anymore, or all that sleepy."

That last part was also due to her new organ. Apparently, while they do sleep it's more of a means to hibernate for periods and recover then actual biological need. Although Kaworu did it more because he enjoyed the peace. Even once learning how to remain aware while doing so. "People will get suspicious of you if you don't eat or sleep in a somewhat regular schedule," He handed her some feed from the ship's rations. "Personally I find joy in the acts even if they are unnecessary."

Mari did admit she was starting miss the taste of her favorite foods. Taking the bag out of his hands she took a bite if the cooled food not really caring that it was unneeded. 'I think I might be accepting my new nature a bit too much.'

SEELE Eleven looked at the information that their good scientist had gotten. The first thing was a list of names. Fourteen of them with both Adam and Lilith listed on them. After a bit more digging through the data banks, it was then revealed that these were the names of the Progenitors fourteen beings were were tasked by their creators to spread life to fourteen colonizes. Seven of each were divided between Seeds of Life and Knowledge along with them being placed based on age.

From this, the oldest was Shiv, a Seed of Life Progenitor, while the youngest was Lucifer, who like Lilith was a Seed of Knowledge Progenitor. According to scans from the White Moon, it believed that Lucifer was the one who killed Adam. 'This is a surprising boon.'

There was practically another Lilith somewhere in the world. If they can get their hands on them then they won't need Lilith. There was still more coming from the computer systems but right now SEELE had to be informed about Lucifer. Plans were going to be needed and they had to locate her body and or soul. Tapping on a keyboard a secure channel opened up between them and SEELE One. "The data extraction was a success I am sending you a copy of it right now."

A few minutes passed as SEELE Eleven awaited a reaction from SEELE One. On the other end, Keel looked at the information unsure if he should be worried or if he should feel something of joy at this. If one of these fourteen had suddenly appeared then more of them could follow. However, the one that they know knew of was like Lilith. "I'll talk to the rest of the council about this."

On t.v. the news went on about the first tests of the Jet Alone Project. Sitting at a bar the designer of the robot looked on with anger at this. The idiots choose to alter his designs several times. Then when he refused to help anymore they tossed him aside and went ahead anyway. 'Oh, no they didn't tell me that it was meant to create an alternative to the Evangelions.'

Maybe he should have taken the offer from either the Russians or the Americans. At least they would tell him if any changes would be made and why. A glass of grape wine was dropped next to him. "I didn't order this."

The bartender just lazily looked up at him before pointing to one of the tables. "That guy ordered it for you go complain to him."

Sitting alone was a shady individual. His appearance was hidden over his trench coat, hat, and sunglasses. Getting up from the bar he took a seat across from the guy. "So, who is it then?" He knew that it had to be one of those people. "The Americans, Russia, Germany, or are you with the JSSDF?"

The man merely chuckled at this. His employers were right in saying that this man had been sought out before. "I work for a certain group within the U.N."

This was a surprise. Thanks to NERV being technically apart of the U.N. oversight he didn't expect them to come wanting designs for giant robots. "I have nothing to lose at this point."

Gendo looked out the window of the plane for a moment. He was being flown to New Zealand there to meet up with the rest of the expedition and set off for the broke continent at the bottom of the world. His first thought was to find the Spear of Longinus that Lucifer had. From the few memories of that fight, he was able to see he knew that the object was likely still resting on it.

There was also the issue of the spice who was supposed to hand him Adam's embryo. What was he going to do with it now was something even he didn't know. Instrumentality wasn't an option that would lead to anything, and he couldn't well let one of the Angels or SEELE get it. 'Destroying it just seems like a waste.'

You know, looking back I noticed a lot of good Evangelion stories that are incomplete. I bring this up because I would like to see them continued in some form. Now, I'll let you in on a little secret. I have two paths for where this story will go. All of which depends on a certain thing happening or not. Right now I am not planning on following either one just yet.

Cya all next time.
