One last post before RAAC.  I hope I got all of the mistakes.  As you
can see I've finally decided on a name for the series.  Thanks to all
those who helped.

Disclaimer:  All characters portrayed in this story are owned by their
respective creators and companies.  I don't own any of them.  Please
don't sue me.

This story draws ideas from all of the animes involved and happens at
the end of each one.

This story is a sequel to Sailor Moon R1/2, A Goddess's Kiss, Ranma Muyo
in Love!, Restless Spirit, and Kitty Love.  This is part six of my
crossover series, Life and Times.

C & C welcomed.  Flames not.

A Neon Genesis Evangeline, Ranma, and Sailor Moon crossover.

Sweet Angel of the Night

	"Now?"  Usagi gave a questioning look towards Setsuna.

	"Now."  Setsuna could see the others smile as they heard her that
single word.  She knew they had all been waiting for this moment for
fifteen years.  It must have been hard for them to watch and do nothing
as history unfolded.

	Usagi's appearance immediately changed to that of Princess Serenity. 
Calling forth the power within her, she created a force field that
surrounded her and the others in the group.  It was none too soon, as a
wave of pure energy over washed their 'holy ark' and the entire earth. 
The Human Complement Program had begun.

			* * * * *

	Shinji looked sadly at the world around him.  Everywhere there was
desolation and destruction.  He hugged Asuka closer to him.  "We're now
truly alone."

	"Now don't you think that assumption is a bit much?"

	Shinji jerked at the sound of another voice other than his or Asuka's. 
A bright light immediately blinded him.  His eyes soon cleared only to
stare in awe at the goddess that descended upon them.

	Asuka was not impressed.  She punched Shinji in the gut to return him
to reality.  Boy, he was such a pervert.  Even when there were only two
women left on earth, he still looked at the other woman.  "Who are you?"

	"I am Serenity."  The woman in the air stated softly.  She wore a
billowing white dress and her hair was tied in pigtails.  "I am a person
that is very interested in the fate of humankind and I don't think that
it's fate should be decided by a single person.

	Shinji blushed embarrassingly.  "I didn't know that my not joining with
Lilith would end up with that."  He pointed his finger to that sky. 
Some red flickering light could be seen.  The souls of humans still
orbited the earth after Eva 01 had caused the Angel holding them to fall
to the ground.

	"But you did cause it.  The girl named Rei had given you the chance to
shape destiny if you only joined with her.  Why didn't you?"

	"I... Uh..."  Shinji was at a lost for words.

	Serenity answered for him.  "Because this was the reality that you
wanted.  You were embittered with humanity and wanted to be done with it
all.

	Shinji could not look at the pity that showed clearly on Serenity's
face.

	Asuka glared at her.  "So what if it's true.  Everything we did, we did
it for others.  Shinji piloted Eva all for the sake of his father and
all of the other selfish people in the world.  Did we get any thanks for
it?  No!  This didn't happen because of Shinji.  In the end, those same
selfish people created this mess by trying to start the next phase of
the evolutionary process.  Humanity got this fate because it deserved
it."

	Serenity face was speculative.  "Did it really?  Did humans deserve
this fate?  Would you still think this to be true if you saw the last
moments of those closest to you?"  In her hands, Serenity held out a
silver crystal that shone a peaceful glow.

	Shinji held his head in pain as a beam of light from the crystal
touched his head.  Scenes of the past flashed through his mind.  He
could see all NERV's personnel slaughtered.  He could see Misato save
him by pushing him into the elevator and then the explosion that killed
her.  He could see his father crying.  The last words he heard were of
his father begging for forgiveness before Shinji was brought back to
reality.

	Serenity looked sadly at Shinji.  "Your father did what he thought was
right.  He had thought the ends would justify the means, even if it
meant hurting his own son in the process.  After your mother died he
worked to reach the point where he could change destiny and meet your
her once more."

	"Enough!  Can't you see you're hurting him?"  Asuka held Shinji in a
comforting embrace.

	"I just wanted him to be prepared for what I am about to do.  Shinji,
do you think you can live in world again filled with 'selfish' people." 
Serenity smiled when Shinji nodded his head.  She did not want to have a
suicidal boy on her hands when she brought everyone back.  With a wave
of her hand, a group of people appeared out of thin air.  They were her
friends.  Then inner and outer senshi, the guardian cats, her husband,
and her First Knight were all there.  "I will need of your help to
restore the world.

	The others nodded in unison.  They could finally do something to help
after a long fifteen years.

	"Mercury Star Power!" "Mars Star Power!" "Jupiter Star Power!"  "Venus
Star Power!"  "Uranus Star Power!"  "Neptune Star Power!"  "Saturn Star
Power!"  "Pluto Star Power!"

	Serenity could feel the energy of the eight planets surge into her. 
Her husband, Prince Endymion, touched her gently and added Earth's power
to her body.  Her First Knight stood to the side watching for any sign
of trouble.  Holding up the silver crystal, Serenity pleaded for help. 
"Please return the lost souls back to their home."  A pulse of pure
energy emitted from her body and over washed the earth.  The flickering
souls around the planet slowly descended back towards the earth.

	Usagi and the rest of her friends all had the look of contentment on
their faces as they rested.  To the distance, sounds of heavy machinery
moving about could be heard.  The rebuilding process was already
beginning.  She felt a hand touch her shoulder.  It was her First
Knight.

	Ranma looked towards where Shinji sat.  Shinji's father, Gendou, was
also there.  Both of them did were afraid to look at each other. 
However, it was clear that much of the resentment between the two was
gone.  They seemed happy enough just to be in the other's presence. 
"You just had to take some time off from saving the world to help one
person."

	Usagi knew that Ranma was just teasing her with his scolding.  She
decided to return the favor.  "Oh?  I seem to recall a person who
regularly stops to save a damsel or two in distress before defeating
some power hungry villain."  Ranma blushed, as she knew he would.  He
was way past adolescent, but he still acted like a schoolboy at the
mention of the opposite sex.

	"Excuse me?"

	Usagi turned to see Gendou and Shinji approach her.  They were both
carrying something or rather someone in their arms.  It was a young
albino looking girl.

	Shinji spoke first.  "This is Rei.  We just found her lying on the
ground nearby.  I think she's still alive, but she won't wake up.  Can
you help her?"

	Usagi stared at the girl.  "This was the one that empowered Lilith and
started the Third Impact."

	"I'm sorry.  That was my fault.  It was I that made her in my effort
the control the next impact.  She was just a pawn in my plan.  I would
be most grateful if you could help her."  Gendou looked apologetic. 
Everything was gone.  His labs, his DNA samples, and all of the clones. 
This was the only connection he had left to Yui.

	Usagi could never stand to see anyone hurt.  "Okay.  Hotaru, can you
help her?"

	"Yes, as long as she still has a spark of life within her."  Hotaru put
her hands to the comatose girl's body.

			* * * * *

	Rei awoke to the sight of Shinji hovering over her.  She was about to
reach out to him when she saw Asuka by his side.  Asuka held Shinji's
arm possessively.  Shinji did not look at her.  Beside Shinji was
Gendou.

	Gendou also did not look at her.  Even now, she reminded him too much
of his dead wife.  "I'm sorry."  What else could he say?  Their last
moments together had not been the best of times.

	"Please leave me.  I would like to get some rest."  Rei closed her
eyes.  The past came unbidden to her.  Memories of Gendou saving her,
Shinji asking her to smile, and of her sacrifice to save Shinji. 
Memories not hers, but those of the second Rei.  She was not her and
never would or could be.  A single tear fell from her eye.

			* * * * *

	Usagi sighed as she looked at Ranma moping around.  Both of them had
been there when Rei had woken up.  Instead of the happy reunion they
were hoping to see, they saw that awful scene.  "Go Ranma.  I know you
want to.  I'll hold down the fort.  Change into a girl before you do,
okay?"

	"Why?"

	"Girls open up more to other girls than boys."  Actually the real
reason Usagi wanted Ranma to go as a girl was that she didn't want his
bungling to bring him another suitor.

	Ranma looked at her gratefully and immediately headed for where Rei was
lying.

	Usagi rolled her eyes at Ranma.  Ranma absolutely hated to see a girl,
any girl, cry.  She had heard of the stories where Ranma was nice to a
crazy girl named Kodachi and a boy that looked like a girl named Tsubasa
because of a few tears.  Usagi just hoped the other girls didn't hear
about this.  It was not a pretty sight when jealousy reared its ugly
head.

			* * * * *

	"So how are you feeling?"  Ranma-chan asked.  Maybe if she started up a
conversation Rei would feel better.

	Rei looked up at the girl of about eighteen years of age.  She
momentarily forgot about the past as she examined the curiosity in front
of her.  "Weren't you a boy before?"

	"Erk!  How did you know that?"

	"When I awoke I saw a boy standing nearby.  He wore the exactly the
same clothes as you did.  I can tell the clothes are the same size as
his as it is obviously over sized on you.  The sleeves on your shirt are
folded the same way.  Your hair is tied up the same way as his was to
the exact number braids.  You have a smudge on your cheek in the same
place he did.  Your facial features are the same except yours are more
feminine looking."

	Ranma stared at the girl with a look of respect.  Rei got all that from
just glancing at his boy form?  "Yeah, I guess you found out.  My cousin
told me that girls open up more to girls, so I changed into my cursed
form.  Cold water turns me into a girl and hot water changes me back." 
She demonstrated by taking a hot water kettle that happened to be nearby
and spilling it onto herself.  She changed into a he.

	Rei did not even flinch at the sight.  Instead, her mind was wondering
how a person would be willing to help her after what happened.  "I was
under the impression that the people that saved me were not at all
particularly happy with my part in starting Third Impact."

	"Oh that.  That's nothing.  You should hear the story how Usagi risked
the fate of the world in trying to save the one that was trying to
destroy it."  Hotaru had told him of the sailor senshi's fight against
the Death Busters.  "That's just the way these 'saviors' are."

	"Including you?"

	"I...  Uh guess so."  Ranma stuttered as the young girl stared at him
intently.

	"You remind me of Shinji with his shyness and urge to help others that
look sad."  She smiled in remembrance.  All of a sudden, she held her
head in pain.  "These are not my memories, but those of the second Rei."

	Ranma's face was full of worry, as he looked Rei.  He didn't understand
what she meant by the second Rei.  He only knew that the girl was hurt
and needed help.  "If these memories cause you so much pain, forget
them."

	The boy in front of her again bewildered Rei.  He genuinely seemed to
be worried about her.  It felt nice to be cared for.  "How can I forget
them?  They are as much a part of me as they were a part of my
predecessor."

Ranma knew how hard it was to forget the pain of the past.  "You just
have to get over it.  Make new memories, happier ones, for your self."

Make new memories for herself, the third Rei.  She liked that idea very
much.  She couldn't help but think that she would like the idea better
if this intriguing boy were a part of them.  "Thank you."

	Ranma smiled down at Rei.  She seemed to be happier now.  He wondered
what he said made her feel better.

	Rei went back to sleep as the day's events caught up with her.  There
was a smile on her lips.  She knew Ranma would watch over her for a
while.  The knowledge of that will be her first happy memory.

			* * * * *

Way in the future...

	Sweat rolled down from Ranma's brow as he concentrated all of his
strength into his push.  He could feel the Absolute Terror Field start
to give way.

	"Ugh!"  The AT Field suddenly collapsed.  Rei fell to the ground.

	Ranma looked at the fallen Rei in horror.  What happened?  "Are you all
right, Rei?"

	Rei rose up weakly.  Ranma was instantly by her side.  "I'm fine.  You
did it, Ranma.  You've surpassed the AT Field."

	"Why didn't you tell me you would get hurt if I punctured the field,
you idiot girl?"  Despite his words, Ranma was very gentle as he picked
Rei into his arms.

	"You were so excited about surpassing yourself.  I didn't want to ruin
it for you."

	"Idiot.  I care more about hurting you than that."  Ranma carefully
carried Rei to somewhere he could get her looked after.

	Rei smiled secretly to herself.  She had long since known that Ranma
was very attentive to girls that were vulnerable.  She was looking
forward to a night in Ranma's loving care.

The End. (maybe)
