Chapter 33
In the Sahara Desert, General Harris sat at an oval conference table in a dimly lit room surrounded by eleven angry faces looking back at him.
General Harris was laughing.
They were not.
"You fool! How could you let them discover us so easily?" SEELE 09 yelled out.
"What has happened," SEELE 03 said bitterly. "IS YOU LOST CONTROL OF THIS, HARRIS! THIS IS ALL YOUR DOING!"
"I all ready told you," SEELE 07, said with a snicker. ", There is nothing to worry about. Tomorrow morning, General Ikari will commence with Operation Sandstorm and it will blow up right into her face. Tomorrow is the day for Fourth Impact."
"You are insane." SEELE 12 said.
"You have taken this too far!" SEELE 01 said angrily as he jumped from his chair and glared at Harris. "We should just unleash this weapon and be done with it! To hell with General Ikari! To hell with them all, we should start Instrumentality now!"
"Our plans are going awry." SEELE 05 answered.
"It's due to this maniac! Harris, I recommend that as the seventh member of SEELE you be EXPELLED!" SEELE 01 said. "Your bloodshed, torture and mind games are proof that you are more out for power then you are about the future of humanity."
"You cannot expel me!" Harris said with a snicker. "I have given you everything you wanted. To expel me now would only damn you all."
"We're damned enough as it is!" SEELE 09 growled as she fidgeted in her chair. "This was never our intent or our purpose! Our predecessors' mistakes were proof of that! We never should have listened to you! We should unleash our creation and go ahead with Instrumentality as planned. We cannot fail."
"If we do that, we won't have Unit One and we need it!" General Harris said. "This operation has to go as planned. We need to merge both Unit One and Angel 20! Don't worry. General Ikari is playing right into our hands."
"She doesn't seem so shaken now!" SEELE 05 growled. "She doesn't even look like she is the least bit bothered!"
"Relax. She will be defeated and she will be dead at our feet." Harris said as he kept his hand on his weapon and clicked off the safety. "Believe me I am waiting for the right moment to walk up to the brave General Ikari and stab a knife into her heart. I will be the one to slay General Ikari! No one else but me!"
"You need to stop this now before it's too late!" SEELE 09 called out.
"Our creation is more then enough! We don't require Unit 01." SEELE 03 said.
"Don't you understand?" Harris growled. "You fools are blind! The merging of EVA and Angel has to be complete to begin Fourth Impact! Once, we control both we will have what we need. We don't have to worry about our timetable."
"General Harris, I think you have taken this way too far." SEELE 01 said angrily.
"As the seventh member of this organization, it is I who have taken you further then ever before!" Harris yelled out. "I killed Shinji Ikari! I killed Isao Katsumoto! I will kill General Asuka Ikari and her daughter! I have engineered and designed the systematic new beginning for life on Earth! You owe everything to me!"
"You have been more obsessed with killing and suffering then about the new dawn of mankind." SEELE 09 said. "SEELE is to represent a new world order for all of mankind. We are not about murder. We are not about slaying the innocent. The new dawn of mankind should not be at the cost of the innocent and you have spilled too much blood."
"Have I?" Harris asked.
"Yes!" SEELE 09 said.
"Perhaps I should spill some more." Harris said coldly as he pulled his weapon and shot SEELE 09 in the head watching as blood and skull fragments flew everywhere and onto the other members seated nearby.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" SEELE 03 asked in fear. "HARRIS, HOW DARE YOU!"
"HARRIS!" SEELE 01 said.
"In fact, from now on, " Harris said as he pointed his weapon. "I am SEELE!"
Harris smiled and then shot all remaining ten members one by one killing them all in cold blood.
He laughed as he looked around the room, killing the weakened or wounded members who were left alive.
As he approached SEELE 03 who was lying on the floor with a giant gaping wound from her chest, he snickered as he pointed his gun. "You never should have trusted me."
"Harris, you will burn for this!" She seethed.
"I have what I need now. You and the rest of SEELE are now expendable. Congratulations. You've been working for me all along. My regards." Harris told her with a snicker. "Now allow me to send you straight to Hell."
"HARRIS!"
Firing his weapon into SEELE 03's forehead, he smiled as he looked around the room.
"Now there is only one master for Instrumentality." Harris said as he laughed at the dead members of SEELE on the floor.
Turning to the monitor, he said. "GET SOMEONE IN HERE TO CLEAN THIS MESS UP ON THE DOUBLE! DISPOSE OF THE BODIES PROPERLY."
(Oh isn't he just a bastard? Is anyone safe? What a sick lunatic! This part was fun to write…okay, here's a heartwarming scene in the next chapter.)
