Chapter Seventy-Four
The two Generals
Rei watched the man in the air above her, tightening her hold upon her weapon. That man, something about him was sending her senses some strange signal…and that creature he was riding on…
His power, she thought, So this is what SEELE is truly capable of.
"It`s a strange feeling to face a Vampire in battle," Sahaquiel said, "One who holds the Angel Tear of Lilith."
His hands which were glowing as a small cone shaped thing shaped in the light. It had a small ball within it which was glowing in a white light. Rei can feel an enormous amount of power coming from it.
What on earth…
"With your death, Lilith`s Angel Tear shall be with its righteous creators," he said.
He send the cone flying toward Rei who was shocked at how fast it flew toward her before a large explosion took place shaking the ground around it raising a lot of dust and deterring a lot of trees. When it settled, a giant hole was carved into the ground.
"Turned to dust," Sahaquiel said.
Rei landed on her side as she flew out of a portal. She was breathing heavily seeing how close she had come to dying. This guy`s power is not something normal…he was truly powerful.
I have to take him down, she thought standing up, I can`t let him get to the rest…and let`s hope Shinji had warned them.
She summoned her sword out again which was still combined. Rei ran straight toward where she felt her opponent`s power, jumping up straight toward a tree branch seeing him standing on top of his flying creature.
"You`re still not dead," Sahaquiel said.
"You don't sound surprised," Rei answered him.
Sahaquiel chuckled.
"It would have been such a disappointment if you die so quickly Rei Ayanami."
That caused Rei to frown slightly.
"How do you know my name?"
"We known quite a lot about you," Sahaquiel said, "You are quite legendary after all, you`re the only Vampire in the world that could hold an Angel Tear, a weapon created to fight darkness."
Rei narrowed her eyes.
"What does SEELE want the Angel Tears for?"
Sahaquiel let out a soft chuckle, raising his hands again.
"Wouldn`t you like to know," he said.
Two strings of light shoot out toward Rei but the girl simply disappeared from sight falling into a portal.
"Oh, so you`ve got tricks of your own," Sahaquiel said.
He glanced behind him seeing Rei falling out of the Portal with her sword ready to strike. But lights suddenly shined out of his body causing an explosion as she was send backward in the air.
What just happened? Rei thought.
She spun in the air landing on the ground, sliding back a little.
This guy…just what is his power?
On their side, Asuka, Misato Hikari and Lilly were holding their own against the SEELE group they were fighting against. Hikari`s tactics was working against their enemies.
"This isn`t so bad," Misato said kicking one away from her.
"They don't seem so strong, but they sure have a large number," Asuka said blasting some away with her magic.
"Conserve your energy Asuka," Hikari told her, "You`ll tire yourself out too easily."
The redhead let out an agreeing sound.
Shinji, Rei where are you? She thought.
She hadn`t heard anything about the two missing members of their group ever since they left house. She was starting to get worried about them.
"I hope Shinji and Rei are fine," she said, voicing her thoughts.
Lilly let out a chuckle as she swung her sword slicing through enemies. Then she gave Asuka a backward glance.
"They`ll be fine," she said, "if that Ikari boy is with Rei then she`ll protect him…after all, he is your best friend right?"
Asuka noticed that Lilly hadn't addressed Shinji as her boyfriend but didn`t say anything about it.
"Where is that blue haired vampire anyway?" Hikari asked blocking an attack, "One will think she be here with Asuka in danger and all…"
Misato and Asuka double teamed the one pushing Hikari back and Asuka slammed her Lance against its jaws sending him backward.
"That must mean…Rei is facing the same thing we are now," Misato said.
"Probably," Lilly said.
"Let`s focus on our part here," Hikari said as they stood beside her, "If we can defeat all of them here, then we can go and help the Vampire…if she need any help and also look for Shinji Ikari."
"Right," Asuka said.
A soft clapping echoed across them drawing their attention toward it`s creator. A tall man stood there, his short silver hair dancing slightly. He was dressed in a slight Victorian outfits, his yellow eyes was showing mirth and some amusement.
"Your four fights like an well oiled machine," he said, "It`s quite impressive to see."
"G…General Matarael," one man said not keeping the fear out of his voice.
Matarael simply pointed his finger at the man and he exploded into pieces sending blood everywhere.
"His…his own soldiers," Misato said.
"Why did you kill him?" Asuka yelled, "Weren`t you on the same side?"
"They were taking too long," he said, "wasting time…really, SEELE have no use for those who waste our time."
Damn bastard, Asuka thought.
"Even so," he continued, "It is quite a sight to see those who defeated that weakling Bardiel."
H…He call Bardiel weak? Hikari thought, That guy…just how strong is he?
Asuka could feel his power, thanks to the Angel Tear, and couldn't help but feel intimidated.
This guy…he is on a whole other level, she thought.
Matarael chuckled darkly.
"Since you four fight so well against my men, how about all of you against me. I`ll test how strong you truly are."
The air around him started to tremble with his power as the very ground shook underneath him. The four girls across him were trying to stand on their feet until…
KABOOM!
An explosion threw them all off balance as strong winds pushed against them.
N…No way, she thought, His power…alone?
The area had a huge crater now and it was smooth ground underneath them. The group was all on the ground glancing around them in shock.
"The house…is gone," Misato let out.
"He did all of that…with just his power," Hikari said, "This…is…"
Asuka was standing up, holding her Lance. Power was starting to show around her as she drawn it from the Lance.
"I won`t be intimidated," she said, even thought her hands was shaking.
Matarael let out a smirk.
"You have a strong resolve," he said, "Strong enough to still stand against my Dark Fear technique. Maybe there was a reason the Angel Tear chose you. Let`s make things more interesting."
Suddenly spheres appeared around Misato, Hikari and Lilly trapping them within themselves. The trio was taken aback by the phenomenon and on each of the sphere was a timer set to 10: 00.
Two Generals of the mysterious SEELE
What await the group next?
