Chapter 7
He's not a clone
A few security guards were walking around the Geofront outside of NERV. They were talking about different subjects, but they stopped talking when they heard the engine sound from three motorcycles. A few seconds later they saw the trio of Motorcycles coming towards them.
"Hold it right there!" one of the security officers said as he raised both of his hands up. Ren pulled out one of his handguns that were equipped with a suppressor. He shot each of the security guards in the head. Both men lay dead on the ground as the sliver haired trio stopped near the dead bodies. All three of them wore black leather trench coats. Sephiroth looked at his brothers saying, "Alright. Here's the plan. Ren, I want you and Loz to go into NERV and create a distraction while I capture the target. Agreed?"
"Consider it done brother." Ren said.
"Good. Now when I have the target I'll tap into the lighting system for NERV and cause the lights to flash four times in a row. I want both of you to escape and rendezvous with me outside of Tokyo-3 at that abandoned house we passed." Sephiroth said.
"A fine idea brother." Loz replied.
"Then lets us begin. Shall we?" Sephiroth said as he rode off heading towards NERV's private hospital.
"Hey Sephiroth...what kind of a distraction do you want us to create?" Ren asked.
"Think Playstation... blow shit up or something. Be creative." Sephiroth said as he disappeared into the distance.
"Alright... Let's kill us some humans!" Loz said as he cracked his knuckles.
"Let's go to work," Ren said as he pulled out another weapon he had on his bike. It was a bazooka. "Sephiroth is right. Let's think Playstation and let's start blowing shit up!" he said as he and Loz rode off into the distance to find a way to break into NERV.
Inside the complex, Misato was walking around the complex looking for Kouzou Fuyutski. Suddenly the alarms started going off as Misato heard Maya yelling over the intercoms saying, "Intruder alert! We have intruders in the second level corridor. I repeat we have intruders in the second level corridor. Would all security teams please report to the second level corridor to intercept." Misato pulled out her gun and she ran down the hall towards the second level corridor. While Misato was on her way to the corridor; Loz and Ren were destroying everything in their path. A few teams of security forces tried to attack them, but Ren would ruthlessly gun down all the guards. Loz grabbed a few by their necks and he tossed a few security guards around like rag dolls. Ren pulled out his Bazooka and blasted a group of NERV security guards to meet their marker.
"I think this should work as a suitable distraction." Ren said as he gunned down another NERV security guard.
NERV's security guards were dropping like flies. Ren and Loz killed anyone who entered the corridor. No one in NERV was capable of stopping them. Misato was hiding behind a steel beam near by. She checking out the situation and she recognized one of the sliver haired men.
"Those are the same ones who tried to kill me and Shinji! What are they doing here?" Misato thought as she took the safety off her gun. Loz heard the click from Misato gun. Loz smiled as he ran over to where Misato was hiding so fast that the Major didn't even know Loz was standing behind her until it was too late. Loz put Misato in a sleeper hold as he dragged her over to his brother Ren.
"Look who I found!" Loz said as Misato was struggling to get free, but Loz was too strong for her.
"It's that woman who helped the boy escaped and tried to barbeque us." Ren said as he pulled out one of his Uzi's.
Misato was surprised how young the two Sliver haired men were. "These guys look like they are as old as Shinji is, but these things were just children! Who would create such monstrosities?" Misato thought.
"How should we kill her Ren?" Loz asked.
"First why don't we ask her where we can find the boy? We can kill him while we wait for brother." Ren suggested.
"I like that idea. Ok Bitch; where is the kid?" Loz demanded. Loz released Misato from the sleeper hold, but he seized her by her neck and he was holding her up in the air. "Where is he?" Ren asked.
"Go to hell." Misato replied.
Ren grabbed Misato wrist as he sent a surge of electric energy through her body. Misato screamed as Ren electrocuted the poor girl.
"Now tell us." Loz demanded.
"Fuck you!" Misato replied.
"I grow tired of this." Ren said as he put away the Uzi and he pulled out a handgun. "If you don't talk I will shot you in your left leg first. If you still refuse I will shot you in your right leg, your left arm, and I will keep going until I reach your right arm. If you still won't tell me where the boy is, then I'll shoot you in the head." Ren pressed his gun against Misato's left leg.
"Put her down." A voice from behind Ren called out.
"Who the hell are you?!" Ren demanded as he looked over his shoulder to see a man dressed in a blue trench coat with blonde spiky hair.
"Where is Sephiroth?" the man with the trench coat demanded.
"The clone or the original?" Ren asked.
"The Original" Cloud replied coldly.
"We don't know where the Original is. All we know about the Original Sephiroth is that he was killed fifteen years ago when he fought the Angel Adam." Ren replied.
"I don't believe that. Sephiroth cheated death twice. I doubt he would die that easily." Cloud replied as he drew his sword. The sword Cloud drew was the Ultimate Weapon.
"Why do you want to find the Original Sephiroth?" Loz asked.
"Because Sephiroth and I have a little unfinished business. I'm going to kill him, and this time I will make sure he stays dead." Cloud said as he held his sword in a defensive pose.
"As we said, we don't know if the Original is alive or not, but all three of us were cloned from Sephiroth's blood." Ren said with a smile.
"Cloned!" Misato was a bit surprised that someone would actually create three Sephiroth clones.
"Our young brother is named after Sephiroth. He is only a month younger than us, but like the three of us we were all born within nine months after the second impact. However, I know that our brother was made differently from the rest of us. He was created using a unique method from what we have heard. Instead of being an actual clone, our brother learned that he was born like all humans are." Ren replied.
"How can someone be a clone of Sephiroth if they are born naturally" Cloud asked.
"We don't really understand it ourselves, but we know that if the child within the mother's womb is injected with enough of Sephiroth cells while it is still growing. That child would take on the appearance similar to what the person whose cells are being injected into the child. But I think that only happens because of the mutating properties of Jenova's cells. Still, as you know this means that he is not really a clone of Sephiroth, but he does look like him because of the high concentration of Sephiroth's cells that were injected into him. Hojo thought the only way to create a being with all of Sephiroth's powers was by creating him through natural birth. The man who made our brother had selected a woman who was already pregnant with a child and she manipulated her to give birth to our genetic brother. I think they only told him that Sephiroth was a clone of the Original Sephiroth because he didn't want the new Sephiroth going around looking for his biological parents. But enough about my brother, I have already said more than I was suppose to reveal." Ren said.
"So this new Sephiroth was born naturally and his creator convinced him that he was a clone." Cloud asked.
"Correct. Now that you know about our brother is time that we kill you for interfering." Ren said as he pulled out an Uzi and he started shooting at Cloud. Cloud blocked all of the bullets with his sword as he moved with lighting fast reflexes towards the two clones. Loz dropped Misato as he moved in to attack Cloud. Cloud held out his hand as he yelled, "Lighting three!" The two clones were hit with a bolt of lighting so powerful that they were sent flying into a near by wall. Misato was watching with a look of surprise as Cloud stabbed his sword into the ground and he started kicking the clone's butts. Cloud grabbed Ren by the neck as he punched him in the face, and then smashed his head into a metal pipe. Cloud quickly attacked Loz, kicking the large sliver haired fighter in the gut a few times, then picking him up and throwing him at his brother. Cloud cast another spell called Fire 3, which scorched the two badly. Loz got up as he held his side in pain. Ren and Loz were burned slightly and they received some minor injuries, but the two clones already knew that this foe was too strong for them.
"Let's get the fuck out of here!" Loz said as he ran off.
"A tactic retreat is a good idea. We'll meet again." Ren said as he and Loz retreated.
Cloud picked up his sword and he put it away. He walked over to Misato and he helped her up. "Are you alright?" Cloud asked.
"What are you?" Misato asked as she drew her gun and he pointed it at Cloud's head.
"I am human... Well, sort of anyway." Cloud replied.
"No human can move or do any of the things you did!" Misato replied.
"Look, all I can tell you for now is that I have been injected with Jenova's cells and those Cells gave me most of my abilities. Besides, I'm not your enemy so lower the gun please." Cloud replied.
"I'll lower my gun, but you better give me a damn good explanation about what you are!" Misato said as she lowered her gun.
Suddenly another alarm was going off as Maya's voice was heard over the intercom saying "We're receiving reports of another intruder dressed in black has been seen at the Hospital!"
"Another one?" Misato asked.
"Then Ren and Loz's attack here must have been a distraction." Cloud said.
"That means that there real target is someone or something at the hospital!" Misato said as she started running down the hall.
Misato stopped and turned around to face Cloud saying, "You're coming with me. I am going to need you to fight off whatever is attacking the Hospital, but if you try anything funny I will kill you."
"Alright" Cloud said as he and Misato ran down the hall.
Meanwhile Sephiroth Junior was walking up to a desk where a attend look at him and said "I am sorry sir, but this is a private hospital so I must ask you to leave."
"I am here to see someone. Tell me where I can find Ms. Asuka Langley Sohryu." Sephiroth Junior replied.
"Sir, do I have repeat myself? I said this is--" the attendant was cut off when Sephiroth Junior held his sword to her neck.
"Tell me where I can find her!" Sephiroth junior yelled.
"Room 12b-3 on the 12th floor!"
The attendant spoke with a look of terror on her face. Sephiroth junior put away his sword as he said, "Thank you." He walked away and he entered an elevator. When Sephiroth Junior got off the elevator on the 12th floor he was greeted by two security guards.
One of the guards found the courage to speak. "Ok pal, put the sword down and put your hands up."
"Like this?" Sephiroth Junior said as he raised his hands up.
The two guards walked towards him, but Sephiroth junior moved behind them too quickly for them to react. He grabbed their heads and he smashed them together, knocking them both out before the guards even knew what happened. He walked down the hall and soon reached Asuka's room. He stepped inside and he found Asuka lying on her bed. The sliver haired man walked up to Asuka's side. He picked up Asuka and carried her like a small child. As he walked out the door, someone who yelled out "Put her down!" greeted Sephiroth junior. Sephiroth junior looked to the left to see Shinji was standing in the hallway with him.
"So the Third child is here, and he thinks he can stop me does he?" Sephiroth Junior replied with a smile.
"Please, put her down!" Shinji yelled.
"Or what?" Sephiroth said as he had a look of annoyance on his face.
"I'll fight you." Shinji said as he looked around for anything he could use as a weapon. He grabbed a mop that was inside a janitor's cart and he held it up in a fighting pose.
"A mop... You're pathetic" Sephiroth junior said as his eyes glowed and the top of the mop burst into flames. Shinji dropped the mop as it quickly burned into ash on the floor. "I can just kill you with my magic powers from here boy. Now I will avenge my friend. The only problem for me is that I am not sure in what manner should I kill you. Should I burn, freeze or electrocute you? Decisions, Decisions."
Sephiroth grinned as he though about how to kill Shinji. Shinji slowly backed away as he tried to think of a way to get Asuka out of his grip, knowing all the while that he was in deep trouble...
He's not a clone
