Afterward, 1000 years or so later.

The city of Crystal Tokyo gleamed like it's name implied, with shining towers reaching up towards the blue sky on the place where once such fierce battles had been fought and won. In the heart of the city a young woman listened in a computer lab as the tale was finished, her black hair falling into her eyes.

"So," Erica Tenoh asked curiously, "how did you end up within the computers here at Crystal Tokyo?"

Nene Romanova smiled wryly, her blonde hair falling into her eyes. Of course, this wasn't the real Nene, but a holographic image projected by the city's computers. "After being chief for a few years I stepped aside for Daley, then began to tinker with the old NERV computers," she revealed.

"And you downloaded yourself into them," Erica guessed. Listening to the story she felt humbled, for while she had understood intelectually the cost of the battle and the lives lost, hearing about it from a person who had been there really made her feel it in her gut.

"For a time I thought Mackie's consciousness might be in here," Nene shrugged, "but I guess I was wrong." She looked thoughtful, "It seems the original consciousness of the Magi migrated out, somehow, and my own mind fit right in."

Deciding changing the subject might be for the best Erica asked her, "So what happened afterwards?"

"The heads of the companies faced trial in a UN court and several were convicted," Nene recalled, "and the corporate forces and world governments took Sailor Moon's threat seriously, at least for a little while."

"A while?" Erica looked curious.

"It took a few centuries for the warning to wear off and the corporate wars to start," Nene noted, "but that's a story for another time."

"Awww," Erica pouted.

"Besides, I need to get to work," Nene said briskly, "this city doesn't run itself."

"I'll be back to hear more later," Erica said firmly as she got up to leave.

A smile tugged at Nene's lips, "I'll be looking forward to it."

Authors Notes:

This fic was both long and complicated to write, and I thank all my readers who stuck with it. I knew roughly what would happen but the mechanics evolved as I worked, creating some interesting difficulties. This story also ties in to almost all my fave fandoms, so if you're confused I apologize most deeply. Heh. Below is a fast listing of the tie ins.

Arisugawa's Locket. Juri and her staff of eccentric warriors have their backgrounds covered there, mostly. As well as in Echoes of a Final Duel. This series also covered why the duelists of Revolutionary Girl Utena stayed young till 2055 and beyond.

Bubblegum Crisis 2040: A goddess comes to call. The Knight Sabers and the goddesses are from that story, as well as some back story.

Evangelion, Third Genesis deals with Tokyo-3 becoming the Megatokyo of BGC 2040, as well as establishing Dr. Stingray as a NERV employee

Eternal City Crystal Tokyo is set after this crossover, featuring Erica Tenoh and dealing with the fates of several of our cast.

The story structure was based around a chapter focusing on each cast group, at least initially. The first chapter featuring AD Police, then Arisugawa's Locket, Sailor Moon, Bubblegum Crisis 2040 and finally Revolutionary Girl Utena. I originally considered making "Ashes" a five part story touching on each group, but I finally decided that'd be a bit much.

Thank you all for reading!
