Chapter 22

A lovely dinner

Rei and Sephiroth Junior were standing outside of the NERV complex inside the Geo-front. The wide open plains and forest was ideal the place for Sephiroth Junior to assist Rei with helping her realize her Jenova abilities. "This place should do fine." Junior said as he sat down and was leaning against a tree. "Now I guess I will explain to you everything I know about Jenova's cells." Sephiroth Junior informed Rei. Junior explained everything there was to tell about Jenova's cells. It took Junior about an hour to explain everything. Once Junior was done Rei had a few questions.

"How are you able to do all of those...energy blasts? If energy blasts is the appropriate term of course." Rei asked as she sat down a few feet away directly in front of Junior.

"The word Energy blasts is probably the best term to use. Anyway in order to use an energy blast or a spell you just need to focus your mind on your objective. Then you use the power of Jenova's cells and your mind to manipulate the molecules surrounding you. You can throw a fireball, a blast of ice or use bolts of lighting or energy. Pretty much you can throw what you want at your targets." Sephiroth answered.

"You mean like this?" Rei said as she focused her mind. Soon her right hand was flaring up with energy, but her right hand was becoming almost transparent. The energy she was creating began to gather itself in her hand. Once all of the energy was collected into her hand she released it into the sky.

Sephiroth Junior was looking at Rei's energy bolt she had launched with a look of sheer amazement that was written all over his face. "Damn she learns fast." Junior thought to himself. "I didn't think you would learn so quickly, but I am very impressed." Junior told Rei. Rei didn't say a word she only continued to stare at Junior.

"Well what else about Jenova abilities do you want to know?" Junior asked.

"I am a bit interested about the abilities of levitation and flight and you can do." Rei asked Junior with a faint curious expression.

"Well that ability is only acquirable if you have a heavy concentration of Jenova cells in your body like I do. I don't know if you will be able to use that ability." Junior explained to Rei.

"Just tell me how to use it and we shall see if I can do it or not." Rei asked.

Meanwhile inside of NERV Shinji was still overwhelmed by the news he had received from Cloud and Misato. Asuka was sitting inside of lounge near Shinji who was laid out on a couch recovering from fainting in the hall. Meanwhile Cloud was sitting in front of a table while Misato was giving Cloud a nice plate of food which consisted of a steak, pea, carrots and cooked potatoes with butter.

Asuka saw the plate, and she knew that food was made by Misato. Asuka knew perfectly well that Misato was not a great cook. She feared poor Cloud will be making some trips to the bathroom. Asuka was going to try and warn Cloud, but the blonde swordsman was already eating. Several minutes later Cloud was finished, but Asuka was unable to tell if Cloud had gotten sick from eating Misato's cooking.

"Was it good?" Misato asked with a hopeful smile.

"It was very delicious." Cloud replied.

"I am glad you enjoyed. I'll be right back." Misato said as she walked out of the lounge.

Asuka walked up to Cloud and asked "Are you lying about the food Misato gave you?"

"Hey when you can handle eating Shinra's Soldier rations for a year. Then you can eat anything." Cloud replied.

"Ok then...well I better get Junior so I can break the news of that he is Shinji's twin brother to him." Asuka said as she ran off, but she had a sly smile on her face. Asuka was eager to see how Junior would react to the news.

Outside Rei attempted the levitation ability but she wasn't able to float no higher than three inches off the ground. Rei wasn't capable of doing the levitation ability. However unknown to Rei and Junior someone was watching them from behind a tree. It was Jen, and she was looking at Rei and Sephiroth Junior with a scornful glaze.

"So Sephiroth thinks Shinji's brother could be a threat to everything he has been planning huh. Well this is the prefect opportunity to take him out and Sephiroth's so-called new apprentice. I can take them both out at once." Jen thought as she cut off her hand.

While her hand was regenerating the hand she cut off crawled away and it started to transform into another Jenova monster. The creature became Jenova-life. Within a matter of moments the monster was looming over both Rei and Sephiroth Junior.

"What is that thing?" Rei asked Junior while she remained clam.

"It's a Jenova monster. Jen must have sent another one out after Shinji." Junior stated as he drew his sword and assumed a battle stance. "Rei get out of here and inform everyone what is going on. Go now." Junior shouted to Rei as the blue haired girl ran off into the trees behind Junior.

Once Rei was safe Junior jumped head on into his fight with Jenova-life as the monster started whipping out its tentacles at the sliver haired swordsman. Meanwhile Jen thought to herself "well Junior you will soon learn that this Jenova monster is a lot stronger than the last one. Good luck trying to beat it." Jen was about to walk away when someone hit her in the side of the head with a large stick.

"Well, Well if it's the little bitch who tried to kill me and Shinji last time." Asuka said as she raised her stick up once more to deliver another blow.

"The Pilot of Eva 02...You fucking bitch you will pay for harming my pretty face." Jen roared as she got up. Asuka tried to hit Jen again but the Jenova clone grabbed it and she ripped it out of Asuka's hands. Jen threw the stick away into the distance. "You are so fucking dead. I am going to kick your ass." Jen shouted as she ran at Asuka.

"Bring it on bitch!" Asuka shouted as she jumped head on into a catfight with Jen.

While Asuka and Jen were fighting Junior was seized by one of the tentacles. The monster started to squeeze Junior's body, but the young boy wasn't done yet. Junior unleashed a powerful field of energy within his own body. The field of energy caused the tentacle holding him to disintegrate. Once Junior was freed he quickly used many different sword maneuvers to cut apart any of Jenova-Life's tentacles that were attempting to grab him.

While at the same time Asuka and Jen were beating the crap out of one another. Jen punched Asuka in the face a couple time, but Asuka grabbed Jen by the neck with one arm. While Asuka held Jen's head under her arm she used her other arm to started dealing Jen an onslaught of punches to her belly. Once Asuka was tired of hitting her there she kneed Jen in the head, and while the Jenova clone was lying on the ground stunned. Asuka body slammed Jen in the back while Asuka sent her elbow into her spine.

Meanwhile Junior was sent flying into a tree when he was swatted in the face by one of Jenova-Life's tentacles. Junior jumped back up onto his feet and he ran back into battle. The monster unleashed an attack that covered the area around it in gigantic bubbles. Junior was knocked back by a few of the bubbles but that didn't stop him from running up to Jenova-Life to cut into its chest. While his sword was stuck in the monster's chest Junior unleashed bolts of energy. Using the sword like a lighting rod Junior was able to direct the full force of his attack into Jenova-life's body.

The monster started to howl in pain, but the creature fired a laser beam at Junior. Junior quickly blocked it with his AT field. Junior rushed behind Jenova-life, and with a swift swing of his sword he took off Jenova's head. The creature fell to the ground while the monster's head rolled pass a tree.

While Junior was trying to finish off Jenova-life, Asuka had just taken a few punches and a kick to her stomach, but the Eva pilot was just more determined to take Jen down. Suddenly Asuka heard someone shout "Here Ms. Langley." Asuka was giving a steel pipe. Rei stood near her holding a pipe herself.

"Wonder girl what are you doing here?" Asuka demanded.

"I was asked to go and bring Junior some assistance. Help is on the way, but I returned to assist Junior with the monster. While I help Junior you can fight her with the weapon I found for you." Rei said as she ran off to help Junior.

"Well at least I have something to bash her head with." Asuka said as she raised her new weapon up. Jen tried to attack Asuka, but the red haired evaded it and Asuka hit Jen in the jaw. Asuka saw some teeth fly out of her mouth. The blow caused Jen to fall to her knees. Asuka started hitting Jen in the back and in the head with the pipe multiple times. If Jen was a human she would have been dead by now.

Rei walked towards the battle site where Junior was still fighting a headless Jenova-life. The monster had gotten back up after Junior had beheaded it. Rei raised her hand up and sent a volley of energy bolts at the monster burning most of its flesh. The creature turned its body towards Rei as if it sensed she was there. The way the monster had its body posed it didn't seem happy about what Rei did to it.

"Rei get the hell out of here!" Sephiroth Junior shouted.

The monster sent about six tentacles towards Rei. Rei tried hitting the creature with another volley of energy shots, but they weren't working on the monster. Rei was about to get impaled by the monster's tentacles. Suddenly Junior jumped in front of Rei and he pushed out of the way of the monster's attack, but Junior didn't have enough time to protect himself or get out of the way of the monster's tentacles. Three of the six tentacles missed Junior, but the other three had impaled Junior's left leg, right shoulder, and the lower left hand side of Junior's body. If Junior was human he would have been killed, but luckily for Junior...he wasn't.

"Sephiroth Junior!" Rei shouted as the young man fell to the ground due to the lost of blood and his injuries. Junior's body was taking a long time to heal due to the severely of his wounds.

Rei was concerned that Junior might have been killed. But to her surprise Junior got back up onto his feet despite the fact that the boy was losing a huge amount of blood with each second. Junior's eyes were burning with determination as something unexpected occurred. A black angel wing emerged from the left hand side of his back. A whirlwind of light green energy enveloped him. Junior raised his hand up and he pointed his palm at the monster while it was trying to use another tentacle attack against Junior.

Junior's eyes suddenly became slits as he fired a massive barrage of energy bolts that utterly ripped Jenova-life to pieces. Any parts of the monster that survived were destroyed by Junior's powerful assault. Meanwhile in the NERV command center Maya was detecting a huge energy surge above ground. She was horrified by the energy signature that was being detected, because she heard about a creature that had produced a similar energy signature before.

Once Jenova was dead Junior fell to the ground and he passed out. His wounds were completely healed but he only passed out due to the huge amount of blood he lost. The angel wing he had disappeared leaving only a few feathers on the ground near Rei. Junior had saved her life, but she was surprised by the power he displayed. Rei heard the sounds of Cloud and Misato coming so she quickly gathered up all of the feathers and she stuffed them into her pocket.

Meanwhile Jen ran away from Asuka soon after Junior destroyed her monster. Asuka was yelling at Jen saying "Come back here you bitch. I am not done with you yet!" Rei decided to stay with Junior until Misato and Cloud arrive. At the same time Sephiroth had felt the energy Junior had unleashed. He put one hand to his chin and said "That was too close. His full power was almost triggered."

A/N: well that chapter came out rather nicely. I will try to work on my commas. Thanks for the input.
