Chapter 14
A meeting with the one winged angel
Sephiroth junior, Asuka and Shinji were standing off against Safer Sephiroth as the battle between the EVAs and the One Winged Angel was imminent. Sephiroth Junior had a good feeling what kind of power Sephiroth was capable of, so he thought he should be careful with this opponent.
"I suggest that we work together to take Sephiroth down." Junior suggested to the pilots.
"Say what?" Asuka shouted.
"Sephiroth is more powerful than any foe you have faced before, so our best chance to beat him is to work together. If we hit Sephiroth all at once, so we overwhelm him and take him out." Sephiroth junior suggested as a plan of action.
"Hey with my new S2 engine I can take his ass out by myself!" Asuka boasted.
"He's right...Sephiroth is in his Safer form which as you know is his more powerful incarnation yet. All three of you are going to have to hit Sephiroth hard and fast before he can use some of his abilities." Misato informed Asuka.
"Come Asuka are you too afraid to face me?" Sephiroth mocked trying to provoke the red haired pilot to attack him.
"You son of a bitch!" Asuka yelled at Sephiroth as she made the mistake of charging at Sephiroth.
"No Asuka!" Sephiroth junior shouted, but it was too late as Sephiroth raised his hand and from his palm came bolts of dark energy. The energy bolts seized Asuka like lighting attracted to a lighting rod and Asuka was thrown back by the impact of the attack. She few past Shinji and Junior as she crashed into a hill behind them. Unit 02 wasn't moving, so Shinji and Junior assumed that she was knocked out by the lighting strike.
"Ok we can still beat him if we work together right?" Shinji asked Junior.
"Maybe, but we must not allow Sephiroth to beat us. He has no core like the angels so we must take him out by utterly destroying him" Junior replied to the boy as Safer Sephiroth was getting ready to use another spell.
"Shinji you attack from the left and I'll attack from the right and we close in on him and attack at him at the same time." Junior suggested.
"Alright!" Shinji replied as the two put their plan into effect as Sephiroth Junior with his sword in hand was moving to attack from the right while Shinji was moving to attack from the left with Ultimate weapon's sword.
"Attacking from both sides eh...it's a good plan, but." Sephiroth said as he cast one of his stronger spells known as Earth 3 which caused a shockwave to shake the ground around Safer Sephiroth. "But your tactics aren't good enough to defeat me."
Shinji and Junior would have gotten knocked off their feet if they continued to run towards Safer Sephiroth, but the two jumped into the air to avoid the attack. Safer Sephiroth turned around to block Junior's sword attack with his wing-like arm while he grabbed Shinji by the head with his left arm. He used Shinji like a bat as Safer Sephiroth spun around and he knocked Junior down with Shinji. Then Safer Sephiroth took to the air with Shinji in tow. He was flying thousands of feet above the sky as Shinji was trying to break free from the mad man's grip, but Sephiroth grip was far too strong for him to break. Junior took to sky to pursue Safer Sephiroth.
Safer Sephiroth stopped in the middle of the upper stratosphere while he waited for Junior to come. Sephiroth was approaching the One Winged Angel fast as Safer Sephiroth was prepared for him. Safer Sephiroth cast Fire 3 at him, but Junior blocked most of the fireballs with his sword. When Junior was close enough to attack Sephiroth he began his assault on the One Winged Angel with some energy blasts from his hand. Sephiroth blocked most of them with his large arm-like wing. Two of the energy blasts got through, but they hardly did any damage to him.
"If you want your friend then here...catch!" Sephiroth said as he threw Eva 01 at him. Junior grabbed the falling Eva with one hand as he held the Eva up to keep it falling thousands of feet to the ground below.
"Shit we can't fight like this we have to get back to the ground or Sephiroth will finish off from up here." Sephiroth Junior said as he started flying down to the ground with Shinji holding on to Junior's arm for dear life.
"I just hope you can hurry to the ground, before Sephiroth attacks us." Shinji said, but the young pilot jinxed it as Sephiroth hit the two Eva pilots with one of Sephiroth's most powerful attacks yet.
"Supernova!" Sephiroth shouted as the two Eva's were hit by the summon spell and both of them were sent flying downward to their doom. The two were falling fast and both pilots were knocked unconscious by the attack.
"Shinji!" Misato screamed as both Shinji and Sephiroth Junior hit the ground hard. Junior's Eva landed on a building as Shinji landed on a small apartment building near by.
"What's the status on those two?" Cloud asked Maya.
"I don't know about Junior, but the damage to Eva 01 has jammed the sensors so I don't know what is going on inside, but the internal cameras may still be able to work though" Maya said as she tried to bring the internal cameras inside the entry plug online. She turned them on to see Shinji inside Eva 01, but he had many cuts and other injuries all over his body. Maya was able to turn on the cameras for the inside of Sephiroth Junior's entry plug and they found him in similar shape.
"Is he still alive?" Maya asked.
"Their Eva's plummeted thousands of feet to the ground, I am sure that Shinji didn't survive the fall, but Junior has a better chance of living through it." Gendo replied coldly showing no signs of care about his own son's fate.
"Damn you Gendo...how can you not give a damn about your own son?" an awoken Cloud shouted at the cold hearted commander. Gendo didn't reply, but the people at NERV saw Sephiroth Junior starting to stir as he opened his eyes. His wounds were healing raptly as he sat up in his entry plug. Soon the sliver haired boy was completely healed as his Eva started to stand up as well.
"What happened?" Junior asked himself, the blast from the Supernova left Junior a bit disoriented.
"You and Shinji were hit by Sephiroth's Supernova attack and you both plummeted to the ground" Maya informed him.
"Shinji...did he survive?" Sephiroth asked, but even he knew his chances of surviving were a billion to one.
"No...we don't think he survived." Misato said as she started crying.
"If you fall from thousands of feet to the ground then you should be dead by all accounts." Safer Sephiroth said as he descended upon Junior. Junior was now facing Sephiroth alone.
"Sephiroth you murdering bastard!" Cloud shouted at the seven winged foe.
"Rrrrrgggghhh!" Junior shouted as he charged Sephiroth with his sword raised. Sephiroth was casting bolt three on him, but Sephiroth Junior used his sword to draw all of the lighting to it allowing him to get pass Sephiroth's lighting onslaught. Junior stabbed Sephiroth in the shoulder with his sword, but Sephiroth knocked him back with his arm-like wing. Safer Sephiroth used his left arm to pull the sword out of his shoulder. He held it up and he floated towards Eva 016.
"Let me show you how you use this sword!" Safer Sephiroth said as he was prepared to strike Eva 016 down.
Suddenly an Eva jumped Safer Sephiroth from behind and it was stabbing him in the back with a Progressive Knife. Safer Sephiroth yelled out in pain as he suffered from one stab wound after another, but he was able to shake his attacker off of his back, but the Eva rolled along the ground where he seized a Positron Rifle and started shooting Safer Sephiroth. Everyone in NERV and Sephiroth Junior were left speechless and their jaws were hanging down when they saw who it was.
"Shinji, but how is it possible?" Misato said to herself unable to comprehend how Shinji survived, and when everyone saw him inside the entry plug he looked like he was never injured at all. He didn't have a single starch on him. Even Gendo and Fuyutski were left completely speechless, and their mouths were left hanging open.
Sephiroth junior decided not to ask any questions about how Shinji survived he decided to seize the opportunity to attack Safer Sephiroth. He went into a weapons storage building and he pulled out a Bazooka and he used it on Safer Sephiroth blowing the lower half of his body apart. Sephiroth dropped to the ground as Sephiroth junior grabbed his sword and he impaled Sephiroth with it. The blade went right through his heart and Safer Sephiroth was on the ground motionless. Shinji and Sephiroth junior stood over his body ready to kill it again if Safer Sephiroth wasn't dead.
"Is he dead?" Shinji asked Junior.
"I should be asking you the same question?"
"What do you mean?" Shinji asked with a clueless look on his face.
"You and Your Eva fell from thousands of feet up in the sky and you are still alive. I was able to survive because of my Jenova cells, but how can you be alive?" Sephiroth junior shouted as a few groans were heard over the communications channel. It was Asuka, and the young red haired girl was regaining consciousness.
"Ow...what happened?" Asuka asked as she rubbed her head.
"You were knocked out by Sephiroth's lighting bolts." Junior replied.
"Damn it!" Asuka yelled...angry by the fact that she was out cold throughout the whole battle.
"He is really...is Sephiroth really dead?" Cloud was saying to himself.
"Are you not happy that Sephiroth is dead or something?" Maya asked the blonde with a confused expression on her face.
"I am happy that the bastard is dead, but it seems too good to be true. Hey Shinji better poke the body a little just to make sure he's dead." Cloud suggested.
Shinji and Junior were stabbing Safer Sephiroth's corpse with their swords to make sure that Sephiroth was dead. The body wasn't moving after stabbing the body repeatedly, so they were sure that the monster at the Eva's feet was dead.
"I can't believe that Sephiroth has finally been destroyed it's too good to be true. Somebody pinch me!" Cloud said because he still couldn't believe that Sephiroth was beaten so quickly.
Suddenly a game show buzzer was heard. It was the sound you would hear on those game shows when you got the wrong answer to a question. Suddenly the sound of laugher was heard followed by someone saying "You killed the wrong Sephiroth fools! Did you really think I would come in person?" Suddenly Sephiroth's face appeared on all of the video monitors inside NERV.
"He's still alive!" Misato shouted.
"I can't die so easily...beside you killed a mere clone of myself. He was a weaker version of myself...I sent him against your Eva's to see how they would do in a battle against me. We will meet again NERV and next time the outcome of the battle will be different from the one your pilots had with my clone" Sephiroth said as the image of his face disappeared from the view screens while he was laughing. Once the laughter had died away Cloud and Misato weren't happy that Sephiroth was still alive, but neither was the Eva pilots.
Later while all of the Entry plugs from the Eva's were being removed. Gendo was with Fuyutski in his office as the two were discussing the events of what happened today.
"Eva units 01, 02 and 016 have sustained some damage, but I have been informed that Eva 014 is salvageable. If repair crews work fast enough we can have Eva unit 014 repaired and ready in five days or less. I think we could use Rei Ayanami as the new pilot for that unit." Fuyutski suggested to his friend while holding a folder in his hand.
"Excellent...Rei may work as the pilot for Unit 014 if she can synchronize with it, but something about the fact that Shinji survived a fall that should have killed him has me a little concerned. I wonder though...is it possible that he has Jenova's cells like Asuka dose?" Gendo replied as he took a glance at the tablet. The tablet was written in an odd language...it was unlike anything Gendo has ever seen before. He had it shown to Cloud a few minutes ago and he told him that the language was similar to the one used by the Certa. Cloud couldn't read it, but he recognized the language.
"I want this tablet translated as soon as possible" Gendo commanded as he picked up the tablet and he handed it to Fuyutski. "One other thing...I want the Magi computers to hack into SEELE's main database for anything on the Jenova project and I want that information in my hand by the end of this week, and I want you to take blood samples from Asuka and Cloud then compare them to Shinji's and use that to find out if he has Jenova cells or not." Gendo commanded.
"I will see what I can do" Fuyutski replied as he walked away with the tablet under his arm.
Meanwhile in operations room Sephiroth junior was with Maya, Cloud, Misato, Asuka, Shinji, Hyuga, and Aoba. Sephiroth junior was dressed in a black turtle neck sweater with black jeans and shoes. Sephiroth junior handed Misato the black materia as she started looking at it.
"This is the same thing that caused the end of your world? It kinda small?" Misato asked with a raised eyebrow expression.
"Size doesn't matter...if Junior had enough spiritual energy at his disposal he could have summoned Meteor to lay this planet to waste" Cloud told Misato giving her a serious look.
"Why would he need that much energy?" Asuka asked as she took the black materia to look at it.
"One person's power alone won't do it. It has to be somewhere special. It can only be summoned somewhere there is plenty of energy to use, and I mean you need a lot of it" Cloud informed the group. "But if those S2 engines from those three Eva's were used as the energy source to summon meteor. Then that might have been enough to summon it" Cloud said as he thought about ways these people might have had to summon meteor.
"That is what we had planned actually. If our plan to rescue my mother failed then me, Ren and Loz were going to pool all of the energy from our Eva's S2 engines which should have been enough to call forth meteor. We were going to use Meteor as a last resort weapon if it looked like we were going to get killed or something." Junior told them.
"Then we should destroy this thing before anyone else can use it." Misato said as she walked over to a "In case of fire" box on a wall and she came back with an ax. Asuka put the black materia down on the ground as Misato was getting a good grip on the Ax. She brought the ax down on it in an attempt to cut it in half, but when the blade of the ax hit the black materia the blade shattered and Misato was sent flying back when an energy shockwave emerged from the materia.
Misato wasn't serious hurt, but she was a bit frustrated that the black orb didn't break. She got up and she dusted herself off. Then she pulled out her gun and she started shooting at it in another poor attempt to break it, but like her first attempt it failed.
"That is one tough little ball." Shinji commented.
"Materia cant be easily destroyed, but materia like the black materia is indestructible." Cloud said sadly because Cloud himself would like nothing more than to destroy the black materia for good.
"Then let me lock it away somewhere." Fuyutski said as he appeared in the room with a metal box big enough to put the Black materia in. "I will seal in away in a secured room deep within NERV for safe keeping." Fuyutski informed everyone as he took the black materia and he locked it in the box he had with him.
"I just hope that thing doesn't fall into the wrong hands." Cloud said as Fuyutski walked away with the black materia.
"Oh by the way Sephiroth." Asuka asked with an innocent look smile on her face.
"Yes?"
Suddenly Sephiroth's face met with Asuka's fist and his stomach met her foot. Sephiroth realized a few seconds later that he was getting his ass kicked by Asuka. Sephiroth was down on the ground as Asuka started body slamming him with her elbow going into his spine. Sephiroth rolled to the side to avoid the next body slam attack. He jumped back to his feet as he looked at the girl and asked "What the hell was that for?"
"Dose the words I am a bitch ring a bell" Asuka said as she gave Sephiroth a death glare.
"Oh that...I am sorry for saying you were more than of a bitch than Jen was I meant to say that you were a beautiful woman" Sephiroth said with an innocent smile, but Asuka didn't know that Sephiroth was telling was only half true.
"Oh thank you." Asuka said with a smile.
"Now Shinji I want to know how you survived that fall" Sephiroth asked the boy as everyone turned to Shinji wanting to know how he could have survived a fall that should have killed him.
Meanwhile at Rei's apartment. Rei was sitting on her bed with the folder she was reading which was now sitting on her bed in front of her. Suddenly a person appeared next to her...he put a black gloved hand on her shoulder.
"Now my dear...did you think about my offer, and was the information I gave very informative?" the real Sephiroth asked Rei.
"Yes the information you gave me was very informative." Rei replied as she held the glasses that Gendo once had.
Her grip on them grew tighter until they broke apart in her hand. The folder Sephiroth had given her was from Gendo's personal computer database and it contained everything on Rei including the main reason he created her and who he made her from.
"It is as I told you. You are just a puppet. You have no heart, and cannot feel any pain... How can there be any meaning for such a being like you? What I have shown you is reality. Your life is a mere illusion created to hide the real reason why Gendo created you. Do you understand?" Sephiroth said with a cruel smile on his face.
"I don't want to understand." Rei said as she began to cry. Realizing that her very existence was nothing more that to be a mere doll, a tool for some man to use so he could be with his wife again. She hated the thought of it.
"However like all beings...they can evolve. You can evolve with my help to become your own self. Help me and I give you the power to make you be your own person and you alone will have the ability to choose who you are and the ability to define your own existence. Even Puppets with the will and the determination can free themselves from the hold of their creator. You may be a replaceable person now, but with my help I shall help you shine as a unique and complete individual." Sephiroth told Rei as the girl began to turn to face him.
"What do you want me to do?" Rei asked.
"Only one thing. Work with NERV for now until I summon all those with Jenova cells to Reunion. This will surely lure Cloud and the others to it, but when they come make sure they bring the black materia. Then I want you to find out where Adam is kept then inform me when you have confirmed the location of the creature. Once they have brought the black materia to reunion give it to me. Then that's it. Once you are done I shall give you what you want." Sephiroth informed his newest servant.
"How will I know when Reunion starts and where it will be held?" Rei asked as she looked down at the broke glasses on the floor.
"Don't worry...like Yui Ikari...you have Jenova's cells so they will tell you where Reunion is at" Sephiroth said as his smile grew wider on his face.
A/N: the evil plot of Sephiroth is starting to come together now. (R&R).
A meeting with the one winged angel

Safer Sephiroth yelled out in pain as he suffered from one stab wound after another, but he was able to shake his attacker off of his back, but the Eva rolled along the ground where he seized a Positron Rifle and started shooting Safer Sephiroth.

Meanwhile in operations room Sephiroth junior was with Maya, Cloud, Misato, Asuka, Shinji, Hyuga, and Aoba. Sephiroth junior was dressed in a black turtle neck sweater with black jeans and shoes. Sephiroth junior handed Misato the black materia as she started looking at it.
"This is the same thing that caused the end of your world? It kinda small?" Misato asked with a raised eyebrow expression.
"Size doesn't matter...if Junior had enough spiritual energy at his disposal he could have summoned Meteor to lay this planet to waste" Cloud told Misato giving her a serious look.

Then that might have been enough to summon it" Cloud said as he thought about ways these people might have had to summon meteor.
"That is what we had planned actually. If our plan to rescue my mother failed then me, Ren and Loz were going to pool all of the energy from our Eva's S2 engines which should have been enough to call forth meteor. We were going to use Meteor as a last resort weapon if it looked like we were going to get killed or something." Junior told them.
"Then we should destroy this thing before anyone else can use it." Misato said as she walked over to a "In case of fire" box on a wall and she came back with an ax. Asuka put the black materia down on the ground as Misato was getting a good grip on the Ax. She brought the ax down on it in an attempt to cut it in half, but when the blade of the ax hit the black materia the blade shattered and Misato was sent flying back when an energy shockwave emerged from the materia.
Misato wasn't serious hurt, but she was a bit frustrated that the black orb didn't break. She got up and she dusted herself off. Then she pulled out her gun and she started shooting at it in another poor attempt to break it, but like her first attempt it failed.
"That is one tough little ball." Shinji commented.
"Materia cant be easily destroyed, but materia like the black materia is indestructible." Cloud said sadly because Cloud himself would like nothing more than to destroy the black materia for good.
"Then let me lock it away somewhere." Fuyutski said as he appeared in the room with a metal box big enough to put the Black materia in. "I will seal in away in a secured room deep within NERV for safe keeping." Fuyutski informed everyone as he took the black materia and he locked it in the box he had with him.
"I just hope that thing doesn't fall into the wrong hands." Cloud said as Fuyutski walked away with the black materia.
"Oh by the way Sephiroth." Asuka asked with an innocent look smile on her face.
"Yes?"
Suddenly Sephiroth's face met with Asuka's fist and his stomach met her foot. Sephiroth realized a few seconds later that he was getting his ass kicked by Asuka. Sephiroth was down on the ground as Asuka started body slamming him with her elbow going into his spine. Sephiroth rolled to the side to avoid the next body slam attack. He jumped back to his feet as he looked at the girl and asked "What the hell was that for?"
"Dose the words I am a bitch ring a bell" Asuka said as she gave Sephiroth a death glare.
"Oh that...I am sorry for saying you were more than of a bitch than Jen was I meant to say that you were a beautiful woman" Sephiroth said with an innocent smile, but Asuka didn't know that Sephiroth was telling was only half true.
"Oh thank you." Asuka said with a smile.
"Now Shinji I want to know how you survived that fall" Sephiroth asked the boy as everyone turned to Shinji wanting to know how he could have survived a fall that should have killed him.
Meanwhile at Rei's apartment. Rei was sitting on her bed with the folder she was reading which was now sitting on her bed in front of her. Suddenly a person appeared next to her...he put a black gloved hand on her shoulder.
"Now my dear...did you think about my offer, and was the information I gave very informative?" the real Sephiroth asked Rei.
"Yes the information you gave me was very informative." Rei replied as she held the glasses that Gendo once had.
Her grip on them grew tighter until they broke apart in her hand. The folder Sephiroth had given her was from Gendo's personal computer database and it contained everything on Rei including the main reason he created her and who he made her from.
"It is as I told you. You are just a puppet. You have no heart, and cannot feel any pain... How can there be any meaning for such a being like you? What I have shown you is reality. Your life is a mere illusion created to hide the real reason why Gendo created you. Do you understand?" Sephiroth said with a cruel smile on his face.
"I don't want to understand." Rei said as she began to cry. Realizing that her very existence was nothing more that to be a mere doll, a tool for some man to use so he could be with his wife again. She hated the thought of it.
"However like all beings...they can evolve. You can evolve with my help to become your own self. Help me and I give you the power to make you be your own person and you alone will have the ability to choose who you are and the ability to define your own existence. Even Puppets with the will and the determination can free themselves from the hold of their creator. You may be a replaceable person now, but with my help I shall help you shine as a unique and complete individual." Sephiroth told Rei as the girl began to turn to face him.
"What do you want me to do?" Rei asked.
"Only one thing. Work with NERV for now until I summon all those with Jenova cells to Reunion. This will surely lure Cloud and the others to it, but when they come make sure they bring the black materia. Then I want you to find out where Adam is kept then inform me when you have confirmed the location of the creature. Once they have brought the black materia to reunion give it to me. Then that's it. Once you are done I shall give you what you want." Sephiroth informed his newest servant.
"How will I know when Reunion starts and where it will be held?" Rei asked as she looked down at the broke glasses on the floor.
"Don't worry...like Yui Ikari...you have Jenova's cells so they will tell you where Reunion is at" Sephiroth said as his smile grew wider on his face.
