Chapter 6
A metal meeting

Shinji was dressed in his normal clothes as he joined Misato and Maya in the NERV cafeteria to talk about the three Eva's they had seen. At least Shinji knew why those men wanted to kill him, but he wished that they never tired to kill him to begin with.

"Maya do you know where those Eva's came from?" Misato asked.

"No... I looked through the database for any information on those units, but nothing came up. The rest of the database was locked out, so I couldn't check any of the secure files." Maya replied.

Misato was surprised that more Eva units existed. She knew about units 05-13, but she hadn't heard anything about these units. Misato was sure that SEELE secretly developed those units, because she knew that they were the only other organization that had the resources to build them. But the most important question was why.

Elsewhere Sephiroth JR was sitting in his room after he returned with the Angel's core. He didn't know why SEELE wanted it since they were capable of developing a S2 engine of their own. Sephiroth didn't care as he rolled a red marble on top of his desk. He was beginning to feel that other person with Jenova powers was stronger than ever. Sephiroth JR wasn't going to wait, so he reached out with his mind in an attempt to make a telepathic connection with who ever he was sensing.

Sephiroth JR closed his eyes as he entered a deep state of mediation. He found himself in an empty void. The place he was at was much like the place where Cloud would have fought Sephiroth for their final confirmation, had Safer-Sephiroth been killed. Sephiroth JR stood there in his plug suit as he waited for the moment when he would meet the mysterious presence he had been detecting. Elsewhere in the metal void a person was falling through a white vortex as Sephiroth JR's guest was approaching. Sephiroth JR's guest was opening her eyes as she was falling through the white vortex towards Sephiroth JR. He was shocked to see who the identity of the other being that possessed similar powers to his own. His guest stopped falling as she softly floated to the ground. She stood up as she faced Sephiroth JR.

"It's you, but how can that be possible?" Sephiroth JR said.

"Who the hell are you and where am I?" Asuka asked.

"We are in the void between our minds. I brought you here so I could communicate with you telepathically." Sephiroth replied.

"Listen I don't care about that. Whatever you did I want you to undo it. I don't want anyone else invading me mind, ok?" Asuka demanded.

"I cannot invade you mind for information, even if I wanted to. And I am not severing this connection until you answer a few questions. First question...why do you have Jenova's cells?" Sephiroth asked.

"Jenova's what?" Asuka asked in confusion.

"You don't know what Jenova's cells are?" Sephiroth asked.

"If I did then why would I be asking?" Asuka replied.

"Jenova is a creature known as an Ancient or a Certa. The power of Jenova's cells have the ability of regeneration, mystical power, enhanced strength, the ability to control others with Jenova's cells, and a list of other enhanced abilities" Sephiroth said.

"There is no way I could possess those abilities. You got the wrong girl" Asuka replied.

"If you didn't have Jenova's cells then why are we having this conversation? I am guessing that your powers have only started to awaken. I think I understand now. When the Angel Arael attacked your mind, your Jenova powers were awakened by the trauma your mind was put through. But I still doubt that they were fully awakened. I believe as you lost the will to live your Jenova cells felt threatened. Jenova's cells depend on the body they are bounded with in order to live, so thus the Jenova cells began to develop themselves in an effort to keep you alive. Soon all of your powers will be awakened. Now that I know who you are...I know where to find you. Why don't you come with me? Join my brothers and I. If you have lost your reason to live; I could give you one. If you join with me I could show you how to use those powers." Sephiroth proposed to her.

Sephiroth knew that if Asuka's Jenova abilities were awakened she would become a dangerous threat to him, but if she joined him she would make a valuable asset to him and his brothers. Sephiroth stood awaiting Asuka's decision.

Meanwhile at a hidden location Keele Lorenz was meeting with the other members of the SEELE, a.k.a. the UN committee. All of its members were looking at Keele with unhappy expressions. "Keele we agreed on the construction of Eva units 05-13, but what are these new units and what are these new Angel-Jenova hybrids we have been hearing about?" one of the members asked.

"Why didn't you tell us about these other projects? We don't see how they could be of any use to use in completing the Human Instrumentality Project. It is costing us millions, so you better have a good explanation!" another member yelled in anger. Keele laughed as he picked up something next to him. It was a katana, but the blade was of abnormal length.

"You don't agree with my methods gentlemen." Keele asked as a smile appeared on his face.

The other men in the room with Keele were getting scared as Keele slowly drew the sword. "Yes Mr. Lorenz. Now where is that explanation you owe us." one member said.

"The Human Instrumentality Project is going ahead as planned, however... the project has simply re-planned in a sense. Since you men don't agree with me, then you can all die. But first thing is first. You're all fired, or should I say... terminated." Keele spoke as he beheaded the nearest members of the board with the sword. With lighting fast movements, Keele brutally cut apart the other members of the SEELE board of directors within seconds. Blood was splattered everywhere. Keele proceeded to cut himself with the sword, and then impaled one of the other members whose body was slumped over the table with the sword. Keele took off the black gloves he normally wore and put them away. Sliding on some white gloves, he proceeded to yell for security.

"Those obstacles have been removed." Keele thought as his eyes glowed green and the light of his eyes glowing was seen through his visor. Keele sat down as he waited for the security team to arrive. Keele had unquestioned and complete control over SEELE. He could now act without the need of approval from the other board members.

Back at the SEELE facility, Sephiroth JR was walking down the hall as he met with his brothers that were standing by a door. "Hey bro, so what's up?" Loz asked.

"Gentlemen I have learned of the location of the person I have sensed who has powers like us." Sephiroth JR replied.

"Where is this person?" Ren asked.

"Grab some weapons boys. We are going to NERV's private hospital." Sephiroth JR replied as he checked his sword that was strapped to his back. Ren grabbed a bunch of guns, such as a shotgun, two Uzi's, a few handguns and some grenades. Loz armed himself with some spiked bass knuckles and he took a pair of Uzi's with him. The three men entered a room where three black motorcycles were located. All three of them mounted their bikes as they turned on the engine, and they rode off heading straight for NERV's private hospital. Sephiroth had waited for Asuka to give him an answer to his proposal, but he grew impatient as he severed the connection and decided to capture Asuka instead. Sephiroth and his brothers would kill anyone foolish enough to get in the way...

A/N: well this is a bit of a surprise...Asuka has Jenova powers. How did she get them and why dose she have them? All questions shall be revealed as I go along. What is Keele objective and what action pushed him to kill his co- workers? Or is Keele not who he seems to be? Asuka and Shinji's personalities have been hard to do. Let me know if you think Asuka's meeting with Sephiroth should have gone differently. Cloud shows up next chapter.
