Chapter 12
The Traitor

Units 014 and 015 landed in front of Shinji and Asuka. Both groups faced off as Asuka held her recovered sword up in front of her while Shinji held on to the assault rifle as he pointed at Loz's Eva. The two heard laughter over the communications line as Ren was the first to speak.

"Well, well we meet again Shinji and look...Asuka is back in action. Two on Two is a fair fight don't you agree Loz?" Ren said with a twisted smile on face.

"Indeed brother." Loz answered as his Eva raised its fist ready to duke it out with Shinji and Asuka.

"Where's you're leader?" Asuka asked while looking at Ren.

"He's waiting for a shot at one of you. We thought we should keep it fair and fight you two ourselves." Ren replied to the Eva pilot.

"I can take you two on myself" Asuka said as she started running at Ren with her sword raised.

Just before Asuka could attack her Eva powered down...her three minutes were up. She dropped her Sword as her Eva crashed into the ground face first. Shinji was in deep shit. Now Shinji had both Ren and Loz to deal with them alone. The situation had gone from bad to worst.

"Change of plans Loz. Let's just kill the wuss right here and now" Ren declared as his Eva aimed his dual handguns at Eva 01.

Suddenly a volley of energy bombs hit between the three fighting Eva's causing them to stop in their tracks. A few seconds later Eva 016 appeared between them as Sephiroth communicated with his brothers saying "You two will go down to the Geofront to break into NERV. I'll deal with Eva 01 myself."

"Yes brother." Loz replied obeying the command.

The two black Eva's started smashing and hitting the armor plating protecting the Geofront while Eva 016 was facing off against Eva 01 with his sword held in an offensive stance. Suddenly Eva 016 turned around to look at some armor plating. The black twin of Eva 01 raised its right arm up as blue energy began to swirl and surge into the Eva's right hand. It was aiming at the metal plate while the Eva was creating a large ball of energy in its palm. When it was ready the energy ball shot forth from the Eva's hand. The ball of energy hit the plate destroying and breaking through all of the armor plating protecting the Geofront. The hole was large enough for Eva units 014 and 015 to fit through. Everyone at NERV was shocked by what that Eva had done. It penetrated all eighteen layers of the armor plating protecting the Geofront.

"Holy shit that Eva can do that!" Maya said as she was shocked by the power the Eva possessed.

"Eva 016 is the most powerful Eva unit ever conceived by Professor Hojo's genius. Not only dose Eva possess flight capability, but it is also capable of using energy based attacks just like the one I had just demonstrated for you." Sephiroth junior replied to the staff of NERV.

"No fair his Eva has those abilities!" Asuka said while being jealous of Eva 016's abilities.

"Oh shit I am in trouble!" Shinji thought to himself trying to figure out a way to survive his coming battle with Sephiroth junior.

"This isn't good. Isn't there a way that Unit 02 can be reactivated?" Cloud asked while turning to Maya.

"The Eva has been drained of its power so I am afraid that we have no way of reactivating the Eva." Maya replied as Cloud punched his hands together a bit pissed off that he could do anything to help Shinji.

"You know Shinji you should be thankful it is going to be me who will take your life." Sephiroth junior replied while smiling inside his entry plug.

"Why?" Shinji asked the sliver haired pilot.

"Because even if I didn't kill you Kaoru's girlfriend Jen would have killed you in a very painful manner."

"Who's Jen?" Asuka asked out of curiosity.

"Jen is a clone of Jenova and...well I wouldn't really call her Kaoru's girlfriend since Kaoru never dated her, but Jen did have a crush on Kaoru. Kaoru and I were good friends. In fact while I was being trained to become an Eva pilot we hung out together reading books on philosophy and other things. In fact...every once in a while we played a prank on one of the SEELE technicians just for fun." Sephiroth Junior chuckled at the memory of the things and the pranks they did. "Believe me when I say that Jen is a very scary woman when she is mad. In fact Jen is more of a bitch than Asuka is."

"What!" Asuka shouted as many curse words were now heard over the communications line and all of them were directed at Sephiroth junior.

"I feel so much better." Shinji said sarcastically, but he was kinda amused by the fact that there was someone out there who would have the nerve to call Asuka a bitch.

"The time for talk is over it is now time for Shinji Ikari to die for killing my best friend!" Sephiroth junior declared as he charged Shinji with his sword ready to cut Eva 01 to bits.

Shinji looked around franticly for something he could use to fight back. He noticed the sword Asuka was using so he grabbed it and Shinji raised it up to block junior's attack. The two blades met as sparks started flying. The two Eva's were trapped in a deadlock with Sephiroth junior trying to overpower Unit 01 so he could cut the Eva in half while Shinji was trying not to let Sephiroth overpower him. Inside of the Geofront the other two Eva's were working on breaking into the shaft that led down into the Thermal Dogma.

Meanwhile inside of NERV Hojo was watching things from three computer monitors. He extended his right arm over a control panel as he started entering in some commands. A warning appeared on one of the screens saying "Danger you are about to disable the containment locks for Jenova-Angel hybrid cages one through three...do you wish to continue Y or N?" Hojo pushed the Y key on the keyboard. Deep within NERV three large containment units for angel size creatures began moving while the creatures inside of them started to stir.

Inside the command center of NERV Cloud put on a head set as he stared speaking to Shinji saying "Ok Shinji listen up...have you ever used a sword before?"

"No?" Shinji said as he continued trying to keep Sephiroth from getting through to kill him.

"Then I am going to give you a crash course on swordsmanship. Listen to me carefully Shinji and I will walk you though fighting with a sword step by step ok" Cloud told Shinji.

"Now use your foot to knock Sephiroth off balance this should give break the deadlock and give you an opening to attack him." Cloud told Shinji while the boy did as Cloud told him and Sephiroth was knocked off balance.

"I did it." Shinji said to himself as his confidence rose.

"What are you doing attack Sephiroth before he can regain his balance." Cloud shouted at Shinji as the boy moved to attack Eva 016 with his sword using a Vertical cut, but his attack came too late as Sephiroth feet hit the ground allowing him to do a back flip which gave him enough time to regain his balance. Sephiroth ran at Shinji as he jumped into the air flying over the Eva as he landed behind Eva 01 and he spun around to cut Eva 01's spine with his sword using a horizontal cut.

"Shinji turn around and block now!" Cloud yelled as Shinji turned around just in time to block the in coming cut. Sephiroth brought the blade of sword up as he tried to attack Shinji again, but was stopped when Shinji blocked it when he held the blade up. While their blades were locked together Sephiroth's Eva jumped over Shinji while maintaining the Deadlock between them.

Once he was over Shinji he broke the Deadlock as he was bringing his sword around to take the Eva's head off. Shinji kept following Cloud's instructions as Shinji fought back and he turned his body to bring his blade around to stop Sephiroth's attack. The blades met each other once again as more sparks were raining down from their swords.

"Look at them fight...it like seeing a classic battle between good versus evil, but when I look at Sephiroth junior and Shinji's faces while they are fighting its almost like Shinji is fighting an dark version of himself you know what I mean" Maya commented as everyone was looking at the faces of both Shinji and Sephiroth junior since NERV was able to get a live video viewing of the inside of Sephiroth's entry plug.

Gendo was noticing what Maya was pointing out, but as he compared Sephiroth and Shinji he did notice something. He couldn't really put his finger on it, but he noticed that the two of them were similar somehow. Even though Sephiroth junior did look a lot like Sephiroth, but some of his facial features made look a little similar to Shinji. Suddenly a thought popped into Gendo's mind "Could Sephiroth junior's mother be...?" Gendo was thinking as he was beginning to get an idea of who junior's mother could be. Meanwhile the alarms in the command center were going off as Maya was examining the computer screen which was giving her the reason for the alarms sounding.

"Commander we have a security breach inside the Thermal Dogma!" Maya shouted as she turned around to deliver her report.

"How is that possible? Eva units 014 and 015 are still trying to break in aren't they?" Gendo calmly asked the woman.

"The alarm is not sounding because someone isn't breaking in...it is sounding because something is breaking out!" Maya shouted as the monitor showed three large creatures crawling up the shaft. They looked horribly deformed as the three creatures made their way to the top and they broke through the top of the shaft.

As the smoked cleared from the creatures breaking through Ren was surprised to see the three massive monsters. One of the monsters looked like Jenova Death except that it had an Angel core at the center of its body. The second one looked a little bit like Ruby Weapon except that it was black and its claw-arms were a little bit longer. The last creature looked like a giant worm with black spikes sticking out of its head. It was completely white as it was looking at Ren and Loz while drool was seen dripping out its mouth.

"What the hell are those things?" Ren asked his brother Loz.

"They are Jenova-Angel hybrids." Loz replied with an evil grin.

"How do you know that?" Ren asked his brother.

"Because the Original Sephiroth told me about them!" Loz replied as he started attacking his brother while the white worm Angel-Jenova hybrid joined in to attack Ren. Ren was shocked by Loz's betrayal as the worm Jenova-Angel hybrid attacked him by biting his arm.

"Sephiroth help me!" Ren screamed.

"Oh shit Ren! Loz what are you doing?" Sephiroth demanded.

"Sorry brother, but I serve the original Sephiroth instead of you. I was ordered when you guys breach NERV's defenses I and the Jenova-Angel hybrids would kill you both and take the black materia" Loz announced to his former comrades in arms.

"The black materia! You have it?" Cloud directed his question at Sephiroth.

"I do." Sephiroth junior replied as he held up the black materia in his hand.

"Where did you get it" Cloud demanded as he shouted at Sephiroth.

"I have no time to tell you nor do I have the time to kill Shinji. I have to save my brother." Sephiroth told Cloud as he kicked Shinji to the ground and he jumped into the hole and he landed inside of the Geofront He kicked the worm Angel away as he then quickly helped Ren up.

"Are you alright Ren?" Sephiroth asked his injured brother.

"I don't feel so good." Ren told Sephiroth as large veins began to appear on his face and the rest of his body. His Eva was beginning infected the same away the one part of him that wasn't being infected by the substance injected into the Eva by the Jenova-Angel hybrid was the S2 engine for his Eva. The angel had poisoned the Eva and the pilot.

"What did that fucking Angel do to my brother?" Sephiroth demanded as he was redirecting his anger towards Loz.

"It poisoned him with a powerful virus that will cause his genetic structure to break down and decay thus resulting in his death and the destruction of his Eva. The only thing the virus cannot infect is the S2 engine and you Sephiroth since you are part angel you cannot be infected by the virus because your incredible regenerative powers. Now you can watch as Ren will die and the angel-Jenova hybrids and I will kill you." Loz told him.

"Not if I kill you all first!" Sephiroth yelled as he charged into battle with his sword raised, but before he charged to attack them he picked up Ren and threw him threw the hole above him. Ren landed next to the hole. Once he was done Sephiroth ran at the group of foes to kill them.

Shinji was standing at the top of the hole made in the armor plating watching as Sephiroth, Loz and Hybrids were going at it. Shinji wasn't sure who was winning, but while the battle was going on Ren was crawling around while the staff at NERV was planning what to do. While high above Tokyo-3 was the original Sephiroth in his Safer form watching the things with a cruel smile on his face as he thought to himself "Don't you just hate it when family breaks apart and they fight one another, but it is always entertaining to watch them kill one another." Sephiroth laughed as Sephiroth junior started fighting the Jenova-Angel hybrids and Loz.

A/N: note I will update more promptly if I get some input on how my story is so far. So that way if I make a mistake I can go back and fix it.
