Ranger24: Okay heres the first chapter of the redo of Geass of war.
Chapter one: Seven Years after E-Day.
Diclaimer: I own nothing.
The dim Green light of the cell was soft on Lelouch's eyes as pushed himself off the floor. The power was back on in the prison for the first time in two days. Not since the commotion outside his cell.
Lelouch was twenty-four years old with unkempt black hair. His violet eyes had often attracted unwelcomed attention from the other prisoners, at least until he'd geassed them into leaving him alone. Geass, the power of the king, given to him almost seven years ago by C.C had served him well on the outside. And inside of prison he practically ran the place through Geass.
Unfortunatly Lelouch hadn't seen anyone in the Prison for two days now. Everyone had up and left, forgetting about him and leaving him in his cell to rot, and die of starvation and thirst.
Suddenly he heard a hissing an snarlling above him! He looked up to see several misshapen figures standing above his cell in the air vent. Siliva dripped down from their mouths as they clawed through the grills trying to get at him! Lelouch instantly activated his geass, anger rising at the sight of the creatures. They were the same that had taken his reason for living.
"DIE!!" He shouted at them in a raspy voice as his power activated.
The two creatures instantly grabbed eachother's head's and snapped one another's necks. Lelouch sighed and sat back against the wall, hunger clawing at his belly.
Then he heard a clang from lower down in the prison. He frowned and stood up as he heard hurried footsteps.
"This his cell?" A male voice said, it was vaguly familar to Lelouch's ear.
"Affirmative." Replied a laidback voice.
"Okay rip it open." The first voice replied.
Lelouch heard the lock of his cell door groan as a man in body armor rushed to the door, a pistol held in one hand, a duffel bag in the other.
Lelouch glared at him. "Who are you and what do you want?"
The man removed his helmet to reveal light brown hair and tired eyes. Lelouch gave a start of suprise.
"Suzaku?" He whispered.
"Who were you expecting? Santa Claus?" Suzaku Kuurugi asked tossing the duffel bag onto the floor. "Put that on man, you'll need it."
"What are you doing here?" Lelouch asked bending over to unzip the duffel bag.
"Getting you out." Suzaku replied pulling a battered and bulky rifle off his back. Lelouch scowled at the weapon.
"A hammer burst? What are you doing using Locust guns?" Lelouch growled.
"All I could get, command didn't exactly authorize this mission." Suzaku replied.
Lelouch pulled open the duffel bag to reveal a folded black knights uniform and a set of basic Britannian body armor to go over it. Lelouch smiled, he'd never actually worn the uniform of his loyal group. He pulled off his prison garb and pulled on the jacket and black pants. He then clipped into place the body armor. No helmet in the bag, but a single pistol was at the bottom.
He pulled out the pistol and pulled back the slide, it was loaded. "You know you could get into a lot of trouble for doing this."
Suzaku sighed. "Not anymore, things have changed."
"What about the other prisoners?" Lelouch asked as he stepped out of the cell.
"They've all left, Cornelia pardoned them all." Suzaku replied reaching into his pocket. He pulled out a single silver case the size of a jewlry box. He clicked it open to reveal a purple contact lense. Lelouch smiled and took it, placing it over his left eye, now it matched his right eye.
"Courtisy of C.C I take it?" He asked as he and Suzaku stepped out onto the cell block.
Suzaku nodded. "She told me to give you that, said it would help."
"Yeah I think it will." Lelouch replied. "So Cornelia Pardon the prisoners, who pardoned me?"
"Euphie." Suzaku said simply as they began to make their way down the corridor, a small hovering robot floated down next to them.
"Hello there, my name is Merlin." The robot said. Lelouch blinked in suprise.
"What is that thing?" He asked. Suzaku sighed. "A present from Lyold, a tactical assitant drone."
"And Earl Asplen gave me his personality by cloning his own brain to make me come to life." Merlin replied happily. "So is it true you're Zero?"
Lelouch glared at the machine. "Does it matter?"
"No, I'm just curious." Merlin replied floating up above them.
"So how do we get out of here?" Lelouch asked.
"We have to go through the Cell blocks, there'll be a dust off in the prison yard in a few minutes." Suzaku replied.
"Six minutes and thirty four seconds to be exacted, after that point you'll either have to leg it to freindly territory or sit tight and wait for another lift.." Merlin added.
"Good to know." Lelouch muttered as they made their way over to the stair cases.
Suzaku pressed down on his boom mike. "DF 23 this is Lancelot, I have the package and we're in route to the extraction point. Over."
"Rodger that Lancelot, DF 33 you have clearance to begin your attack run." The pilot replied.
There was the roar of sub sonic jet engine's above them followed by a hail storm of bullets coming down through the circular prison block!
Lelouch and Suzaku ducked down barly in time to avoid being ripped apart.
"What the hell are they doing?!" Lelouch shouted.
"DF 33 hold off on that airstrike we're still in the prison block!"
"Oh! My bad, sorry Lancelot," replied the embaressed pilot.
Lelouch shook his head. "You have idiots flying or something?"
They made their way down to the bottom floor. Right in front of them now was a single blast door between them and the prison yard.
Suddenly lines of fire began to appear along the sides of the door, someone was cutting on in!
Suzaku swore taking cover behind a support beam, Lelouch did the same pistol trained on the entrance.
"DF 23, we have hostiles attempting to enter the prison block, Pick up the pace on the pick up!" Suzaku shouted.
"Rodger that." The pilot replied.
"Guess we'll have to shot our way out." Lelouch muttered as the two seperate cutting torches began to converge.
"Get ready," Suzaku warned raising his rifle
Lelouch sighted down his pistol for the first target to come through the door.
Then the door exploded in towards them and in streamed half a dozen grey skinned, red eyed, man shaped creature's weilding Hammer Burst assault rifles.
Lelouch and Suzaku opened up instantly bullets streaming towards the hositles tearing down the first three with ease! The other three scrambled for cover only for one to be struck in the leg by Lelouch's pistol, Suzaku quickly finished off Lelouch's victim with a spray of rifle fire. The remaining two hostiles returned fire with their hammer bursts forcing Lelouch and Suzaku back into cover, bullets chipping away at the concrete supports.
Suzaku pulled out what looked like a small pink ball attacked to a chain. He spun it around once before tossing it around the corner.
"Nade out!" He shouted before covering his ears. Lelouch did the same just in time.
There was a massive pink explosion that shook the whole prison block. The enemies were vaporized in an instant. Lelouch and Suzaku stepped out of cover.
"What was that?" Lelouch asked staring at the small crater Suzaku's grenade had made.
"Sakuradite grenade," Suzaku replied picking up the only other intact Hammer burst and tossing it to Lelouch. "We normally use them against E-holes but it's all I've got left."
"Well thats nice to know," Lelouch muttered checking the rifle.
Suzaku's boom mike crackled to life. "Lancelot, this is DF 23; LZ is hot, you have to clear the Prison Yard before I can land."
"Rodger that DF 23, Lancelot out." Suzaku replied.
Lelouch sighed. "It's never as easy as it sounds."
Suzaku smiled, "You know it."
The two ran out into the bright sunlight of the prison yard. It was filled with over turned tables, bent basketball hoops, busted weight lifting gear, and hostiles. Lelouch and Suzaku picked the their targets and opened fire in vicious sprays of lead. The Locust drones turned to face them only to have their numbers cut by half by the air strike of DF 33.
"How'd you like that you dirty grubs!" DF 33's pilot shouted as the gunship flew over head.
Suddenly a massive tentcal cover creature swooped in towards the gun ship!
"Shit! I got a Reaver on my six! I'm bugging out!" DF 33 shouted as machine gun fire flew from the tentecal covered creature.
Lelouch and Suzaku cut down the Locust in the courtyard without mercy. Bullets ripped apart the bits of equipment in the courtyard! Locust collapsed dead all over the place. Lelouch and Suzaku kept eachother covered working together perfectly with mercilous fury. No mercy for the murderous creatures.
Just as Suzaku silenced the last hostile DF 33 came flying in towards them, it's tail smoking.
"I've lost control! MAYDAY!! MAYDAY!!" The pilot screamed fighting to regain control of his bird.
"GET DOWN!!" Suzaku shouted!
Lelouch hit the deck just as the dieing aircraft crashed into the prison block and detonated! The concussion of the blast flipped Lelouch clean over. He struggled to his feet only to find the tentcalled monster landing in the courtyard. On it's back were two locust drones driving the Reaver and manning it's weapons.
Lelouch rolled away from a rocket that crash into the bench press he'd been hiding behind. Suzaku ran over to him firing his Hammer burst rifle.
"You got a plan?" Suzaku shouted drilling rounds at the locust air assault unit.
Lelouch nodded removing the purple contact lense from his left eye.
"Get your other grenade ready, I'll distract it." Lelouch replied.
Suzaku nodded pulling the second pink grenade from behind his back. Lelouch stood up making sure he had eye contact with the beast and it's drivers. Then he removed his contact lense.
"Hold still!" He commanded. The geass sigal flashed and the two locust froze.
Then Suzaku hurled his grenade. Lelouch covered his ears again as the grenade went off
obliterating the Reaver and it's crew.
Suzaku gave a sigh off relief heading over to Lelouch. "DF 23 LZ is clear."
"About god damn time." The pilot muttered. "I'm in bound."
As the gunship dropped in, the ground began to shake. Suzaku gulped glancing at the ground.
"I think we should move to the gunship."
"Yeah my thoughts exactly." Lelouch muttered as the ran for the dropship. The side door of the VTOL aircraft slide open and Lelouch and Suzaku jumped aboard. Four other soldiers were also on board the gunship.
"We're clear!" Suzaku shouted to the pilot.
Suddenly there came a mighty roar and crash as the ground in the courtyard split apart to reveal a massive spider like creature!
"Corpser!" A red haired man shouted in the gunship shouted raising his rifle, an MA55 Assault Rifle.
"Get us out of here!" Suzaku screamed and the gunship lifted off.
The Corpser roared as everyone aboard the gunship opened fire with their rifles. It lunged at the gunship but thankfully the pilot gunned the engines and they shot away from the prison. Lelouch gave a sigh of relief, he was out for the first time in seven years.
