Chapter 11
The plot thickens
In the sky high above the Japan countryside a large shadow could be seen as something very large in the sky was moving towards Tokyo-3. Meanwhile at another hidden complex owned by SEELE. Sephiroth entered a large room with a bunch of computer stations. Sephiroth pulled up a chair as he sat down in front of one. He pushed in a few commands on the Keyboard as he put on some kind of ring-like device on his head with some wires attached to the computer station. He entered some more commands until he was finished.
"New Dummy plug system code named Sephiroth installed and ready for activation for Units 05-13" was the message on the computer screen.
Sephiroth turned around as he detected another person in the room with him. He remained hidden in the shadows, but Sephiroth knew who he was.
"Father...my brothers will soon go ahead with their plan to hijack their own Eva's and to steal the Black Materia" the figure informed Sephiroth.
SEELE gained possession of the Black Materia after they found it inside of the materia meteor with Jenova. SEELE has been keeping it at the facility for safe keeping. Sephiroth junior was planning on stealing it to use for his own purposes if his plans fail. Sephiroth was planning on taking advantage of this to help fulfill his own agenda. Sephiroth got up and he proceeded to walked out of the room, but he stopped to look back at the figure to give him orders.
"Stay with your brothers until after they have breached NERV's defenses." Sephiroth commanded.
"What do you want done with them afterwards?" the figure asked as he bowed down to his master.
"I will have the Jenova and Angel hybrids finish them off for us." Sephiroth said as he smiled while walked away.
The next day at NERV Shinji, Cloud and Asuka were hanging around in the hallway somewhere inside the complex. Asuka was asking Cloud for a few battle tips since the blonde swordsman was a profession fighter.
"When dealing with monsters one way to kill them is to chop its head off. The second way is to cut the thing in half, and third if all else fails kick the foe between the legs and that will stun the creature long enough until you kill it. If the creature is female then you might have a problem with using way number three." Cloud spoke his two cents to Asuka.
"What about dealing with a creature with Jenova cells? How do you deal with them Mr. Strife?" Shinji asked quietly.
"Now that is a completely different matter. To successfully kill a Jenova creature you have to do one or two things. One you must vaporize the body completely or you must damage the creature so badly that it is unable to regenerate." Cloud answered.
"So that is how you can kill a creature with Jenova cells" Shinji replied quietly as he looked down at the ground.
"Shinji you really need to lighten up a little more" Asuka suggested to the boy.
"Shinji my friend what you really need is a good roll model or someone to look up to" Cloud suggested with a cheerful expression.
"Who do you suggest he should have as a role model" Misato said as she appeared behind the group.
"I am just trying to find a way to help Shinji be a little more open" Cloud replied trying to defend himself.
"Don't suggest Misato as a role model ok Cloud" Asuka whispered into Cloud's ear.
"Why?" Cloud asked the girl as he turned his head to look at Asuka.
"Why what" Shinji asked the swordsman.
"She said that I shouldn't." Cloud was saying, but Asuka covered his mouth.
"Uh...I was telling him that he shouldn't suggest Shinji's dad as a role model." Asuka replied with an innocent look on her face trying to hide what she said.
"I serious doubt that is what you told Cloud." Misato replied as she gave Asuka a suspicious look.
"Remove your hand from Cloud's mouth." Shinji asked Asuka giving her a suspicious look as well.
Just as Asuka was removing her hand from Cloud's mouth the alarm went off as Maya was heard over a speaker saying "We have reports of another Angel heading for NERV. Estimated ETA is in six minutes. Would Asuka and Shinji please report to their Eva's?"
"Oh well we have to go." Asuka said as she disappeared running down the hall. Shinji followed her down the hall soon afterwards. Cloud was watching them as they disappeared down the hall. Misato walked to Cloud's side as the blonde looked to his side to see her.
"What did Asuka really say?" Misato asked as she cast Cloud a suspicious glare.
"What she said is what she told you" Cloud told her because he didn't want to get Asuka in trouble.
Several minutes later both Asuka and Shinji were inside their Eva's as they were launched to the surface ready to face the incoming Angel. Asuka grabbed her new sword she got from Ultimate Weapon while Shinji took an Assault rifle. They assumed Defensive poses as the two waited for any sign of the angel. Suddenly a large dragon-bat-like creature appeared as it flew down low. If flew over them as it flapped its huge wings.
It had over twelve red eyes and its body seemed to be made entirely of a diamond like substance. It had two small arms with huge bat wings right above them and it had a very large mouth, and a long tail with spikes all over it. On its forehead was a red orb which was the Angel's core. Hireu was coming around to begin its attack run. As it was flying in low it shot out a blue like flame from its mouth. Instead of burning the buildings it froze them.
Anything that was hit by the blue flame was frozen rock solid. That flame didn't burn objects it freezes and turns objects into blocks of ice. It was getting closer to the Eva's as Shinji and Asuka evaded the icy breath of the Angel. If Asuka and Shinji hadn't moved they would have been turned into statues of ice by the angel's breath.
"Shit...an Angel armed with ice breath? Do we have a flamethrower Maya" Asuka asked the NERV operator.
"Sorry Asuka we don't have that kind of weapon available. You and Shinji are just going to use what you have to kill that Angel" Maya replied.
"Easier said than done" Shinji spoke as he took aimed and fired on the Angel with the assault rifle.
He hit the angel while it was flying high above them. Shinji was blowing off large chunks of its body which seemed to be made out of ice as well. Under the ice Shinji exposed a soft tissue interior. The Angel flew down low to avoid the gun fire, but as the angel was flying low it breathed on itself to replace the ice that was blown off from its body.
The operators at NERV were scanning the Angel and they were able to determine that it had no AT field of its own, but that ice its body is covered with acts like some kind of armor. Meanwhile in the lake not too far away from the battle site; a small eye was floating inside the water. The lake surface began shifting. Suddenly long tentacle arms were rising out of the lake, and the ends of each tentacle became a claw-like hand. The watery arms stretched forth towards the Eva while the pilots were preoccupied with their ice covered foe.
Shinji and Asuka were busy trying to avoid their ice dive bombing foe. Hireu only came down low in an attempt to hit Asuka and Shinji with its ice breath, but the second time it flew down low it started shooting small ice spikes out of its mouth. The icicles went through anything they hit. They were turning the buildings into Swiss cheese, but Asuka used her newly gained sword to block most of them while Shinji did a lot of evading tactics to avoid the rain of icicles.
Suddenly Shinji was grabbed from behind by the water tentacles as he fell to the ground face first. The tentacles started dragging him towards the lake. Shinji was trying to get free, but with each tentacle he broke away from another one was there to renew its hold on the Eva.
"Asuka help me!" Shinji screamed.
"What the hell is that?" Asuka asked herself as she turned to see the water tentacles dragging Shinji into the water.
"We have confirmed there is another angel in lake. It has transformed the entire lake into its body" Maya reported.
"Oh shit. That is just great...what else can go wrong" Asuka asked herself as she tried to deal with the ice angel and saving Shinji.
Meanwhile at the facility were Eva units 14-16 were being kept at, a series of explosions were rocking the place as the Sephiroth clones were revolting against SEELE. Sephiroth junior and Ren secured the control room for their Eva's while Loz was sent to recover the Black Materia from a vault. Loz was holding two Uzi as he mowed down a small squad of SEELE guards while walking down the hall. He walked up to a large blast door while Loz was reaching into a large duffle bag he had on his back and he pulled out a large can of acid. He threw all of it on the door and he watched the acid eat away the metal on the door.
A hole big enough for Loz to fit through was formed thanks to the acid. He entered the vault to find the black materia on top of a pedestal at the center of the room. Loz seized it and he put it away in his bag. He left the vault and on his way back he ran into some guards. Loz reached into his bag and he pulled out a Grenade launcher and with one shot he sent the guards to see their marker. The guards were blown to bits by the deadly projectile. He started to run down to the hall to rendezvous with his brothers at the control center. Moments later he reached the room where Ren and Sephiroth junior were waiting for him.
"Do you have it?" Sephiroth Junior asked Loz firmly while entering some commands into a computer.
"Right here" Loz replied as he handed Sephiroth the black materia.
Sephiroth took the black materia from him. He smiled as he put it into a small bag. Loz, Ren and Sephiroth junior left the control center as they started making their way to their Eva's.
"I have already programmed the computers to launch our Eva's once we are inside. I have also locked out the system and I have rigged this place to blow once we are safely away from the facility" Sephiroth junior replied as he stabbed a guard in the belly with his sword after the solider popped out of the shadows in an poor attempt to ambush them.
Moments later Ren, Loz and Sephiroth junior entered and activated their respective Eva's. Once activated Sephiroth junior grabbed the sword for his Eva while Loz's Eva grabbed a pair spiked knuckles and Ren took a pair of handguns with a blade attached to the barrel of the guns. The three Eva's made their way out of the complex and they flew off into the sky. Seconds later the whole facility exploded. While in the sky Sephiroth looked at the black materia as he saw his own reflection on the orb.
"So this is what it feels like to hold something that can destroy a world. It's amazing that something so small can do so much harm. This will be my secret weapon to use against Humanity if our plans fail" Sephiroth thought to himself as the three Eva's were flying to attack their next target....NERV HQ.
Back at Tokyo-3 Asuka was trying to fight Hireu, but the ice angel was flying too high for her to attack it. Shinji had barely managed to free himself before getting dragged under by the angel in the lake. Shinji wasn't sure how to fight the angel in the lake since all of the water in it was now its body. Suddenly Shinji had an idea. He knew that water conducted electricity, so all he need was something powered with enough electricity so he could use it to fry the angel in the lake.
"Maya is there any electric cables or something I can throw into the lake?" Shinji asked while he looked for anything he could use to electrocute the angel.
"I don't know if there is one packing enough electric power. If you are going to do what I think you're going to do then you will need a lot more energy than what's around to send a strong enough electric current through the whole lake." Misato answered for Maya.
Shinji evaded another water claw as he said with discouragement "there's got to be something we can use to fry that angel."
"I think we can solve both of our problems at once. My umbilical cable is keeping me from jumping high enough to take Mr. Ice down, so I am thinking if we can send enough power through my cord...maybe Shinji can use that to fry the lake angel" Asuka suggested.
"It's crazy, but it just might work" Misato replied.
"Then let's do it" Asuka said as she jumped to side to avoid getting hit by the angel's breath.
Asuka used her sword to cut her umbilical cord off. Then she held it up as Maya was sending it all of the power she could to it. Asuka ran to the shore of the lake. She handed Shinji the cable and he threw the cable into the lake. A large display of electrical energy was seen dancing on the lake surface as the angel at the center of the lake was unable to handle the electric energy. Its body was beginning to grow bumps. Then moments later it blew up.
Asuka jumped high into the air to intercept Hireu. Hireu saw the Eva coming as it fired its breath at it, but it missed as Asuka got close enough to the angel to attack it directly with her sword. She cut off one of the angel's wings and she kicked it in the back to send it dive bombing into the lake. The lake was still charged with the electrical energy from the umbilical cord, and like the angel in the lake. Hireu was killed by electrocution, and when Asuka threw her sword, and it went right through the angel's core. Both angels were dead as what remained of Hireu's body shank into the lake.
"Asuka you have three and a half minutes of power remaining" Maya reported.
"Don't worry all of the angels are dead so why should we worry" Asuka replied boldly.
"I guess you're right and" Maya was saying as her monitor was reporting that three objects was heading straight for NERV. Maya, Cloud and Misato recognized them. It was Eva units 14-16. Unit 16 stopped several miles away from Tokyo-3 while the other two were heading straight for Units 01 and 02.
"Shinji, Asuka we have another problem" Cloud spoke over the communications line.
"Don't tell me...more angels" Asuka answered with a sound of distaste in the subject.
"Worst...Eva units 14-16 are heading your way. ETA is in one minute" Maya answered.
"Oh shit" Asuka said as she saw the two Eva's coming over the horizon heading right for them.
"We don't need this" Shinji said as he got ready to fight the two black Eva's.

"We don't need this" Shinji said as he got ready to fight the two black Eva's.
