Quick Author's Notes:
I deleted the Timeline. The Timeline for this fanfic is now moved to: Timeline of the Soviet Universe (now it's own separate entity (fanfic). Despite this, this fan fiction still uses the same timeline.
Also due to fears that this story will be purged (because of the lemon in Chapter Six (people reporting this fanfic) it's removed. You will find: Rise Of The Red Dragon Empress in AO3 (in it's entreaty). The lemon is in Chapter Six. I go under the name RepublicChe in AO3. The Disclaimer is also removed.

Date: Thursday, August 10th, 2017
Location: Shinjuku, Tokyo, Area 11/Japan
Time: 1:00 PM
My first reaction to the present situation is, Damn Britannians! You would question why I would even think such a thing? well it's because of that idiot Tamaki panicking during our time at Clovis's Osaka Facility. Now thinking back on our mission's original orders were: Infiltrate the Facility, rescue as many captives as humanly possible, rescue CC and get out of the Facility as stealthily as possible. The good thing was we managed to get in, however the bad news was we lost ten people cleaning out most of the place. We lost six more securing CC, but luckily we didn't lose any more people as we made our way back to the facility's exit.
However just as we were about to be free and clear, we ran into Britannian soldiers blockading our exfiltration rout. At the time we had to come up with a strategy to escape with out too many casualties. However, Tamaki in his infinite wisdom decided the best way to exfiltrate from the Facility was simply to shoot our way out. Despite me and the others in the W-0 arguing against it, Tamaki attacked the Britannians. Thing is, I maybe a good strategist and tactician in my own right, however I'm nether god nor omnipotent because as soon as that moron arbitrarily decided to turn our exit into a damn shooting gallery, that was the moment our mission went FUBAR. Anyways, the central question I ask myself is: why would Ohgi even recruit that imbecile?
Originally there was twenty of us including my unit, Nagata and Tamaki. However because of that retard, only me, Nagata, Tamaki and luckily everyone in the W-0 survived. Anyways, we ultimately managed to escape the facility despite losing more than half our numbers only for our luck to get worse because of perusing elements of the Britannian military. Anyways, through various circumstances we ultimately arrived in Shinjuku. Now the only good thing is we at least managed to get the majority civilians out before arriving, but thousands still remain trapped. Conditions worsen with Clovis's arrival because of his arbitrary decision to level this entire Ghetto. My mind now returns to the present situation at hand, so I switch on my radio so I can get in contact with Ohgi, "P1 are the ambush points set up yet?"
After a few seconds of static I hear Ohgi's Voice, "Most of them Q1, Clovis's goons are coming in from all directions!"
I sigh and contact Lelouch, "Zero were mostly in position moving to the train tracks now."
"Understood Q1."
Now that I managed to contact Lelouch and Ohgi I-
"Well, well a filthy Eleven terrorist! Men kill her NOW!?"
Suddenly four enemy Sutherlands converge on me, their guns aiming at me preparing to fire, hoping their bullets will strike true. However, a split second before they fire I manage to swerve my Sutherland out of the way. Their reaction is to accelerate towards me, then quickly encircle and entrap me. However fortunately luck is on my side because before they finish me off, suddenly one of the Sutherlands is hit in the cockpit, while the other is hit by another bullet in the head, forcing it to the ground. I use this opportunity to quickly zigzag, then open fire on the downed Sutherland, destroying it. With the advantage lost the enemy is forced to regroup to compensate for their comrades loss. Before they can however, I use this opportunity to zigzag around the two remaining tango's. Because the enemy now has to worry about both me and the sniper they are forced to switch to a bounding overwatch formation.
Despite this maneuver, I mange to compensate by zigzagging towards them, causing the tango's to become semi-overconfident. This is what I was hoping for because just as I get close to the two Sutherlands, I manage to successfully pivot behind them and target their cockpits. Once their cockpit's are in range I open fire and kill the one on the left, before the last one can properly line me up, it's blasted by a sniper fire to both the head and cockpit in quick succession.
Suddenly I can hear Akeno's voice over radio, "Q1 target destroyed."
I sigh I relief, "Q2 tell everyone to begin phase 2 and cover me to sector 4."
"Got it Q1, I've got your six"
Seven minutes later, at the train tracks (Sector 4)...
Time: 1:07 PM
After we successfully dispatch several more Britannians we manage to reach the train tracks and secure objective 1 (the train). Once the objective is complete, Lelouch's voice then crackles over the radio, " Q1 report your status."
"Sector 4 secure Zero!" I switch off the radio and switch my attention to everyone around the train and turn on the speakers, "Begin Phase 3 and get those Knightmares out of the train!"
It doesn't take long for us to remove the train's cargo as well as get everyone settled into their new Knightmares. Now the next thing we have to do, if we play are cards right is to use the Britannian's own Frame's against them as a quasi-Trojan Horse, however that is but one strategy in the multitude. I shake my head as memories of Osaka flood back into my mind and Tamaki's blunder, I sigh and hope that dimwit doesn't fuck up again.
Anyways, we have to move quickly because the more we wait around the more innocent Japanese die. I close my eyes for a split second sighing in frustration at our near helplessness at protecting the thousands of innocents still trapped within the Ghetto's interior. With tears streaming down my eyes in sorrow, my hands unconsciously begin shaking, enraged at my inability to save the thousands already dead. After every thing, after traipsing through the multitude of corpse's during my time in Japan seven years ago and now today. This pain in my heart at the loss of millions already dead and the very thought of the millions more dying at the hands of a seemingly insurmountable foe, its too much to bare. To me my mind has never been clearer on what must be done to end Britannia's tyranny and oppression. Thinking about all this shit. My eyes close once more before I activate my radio to give the necessary order that will at least hopefully bring an end to this madness, "All forces: Operation: Phoenix Rising is now in full swing I want radio silence unless it's to do with this op, got it! Now move out!"
Fifthteen minutes later...
Time: 1:22 PM
Once more I have to deal with more of these damn Purists. Anyways, before I can do anything else four Purists come barrelling around the corner, as soon as they spot me they charge at me hoping they both can out number and overwhelm me, however just as they get closer to me I quickly bark into the radio, "P1, P2, P7, P8 and P9 snipe them from the roof tops, I shake my head, gleefully thinking: do those dolts ever look up? moving on, I activate the com, "Targets have been eliminated. However I'm detecting twenty more two blocks south from our location and are moving fast towards us. Now then R1, R2, R3, R4, R8, R15 set up an ambush, I want you guys to conceal yourselves in the alleyways on both sides of the street, when they reach your location move in from both sides using a pincer formation, while zigzagging so you are harder to hit. while I take P1, P2, P7, P8 and P9 and attack from behind when the shooting starts, we'll go into a flying wedge formation. As this is happening B1, B8, B6, B7, B10, B12 and B15 will link up with us and encircle the Brits, then go into a Crossing the T Formation on both ends of the street so they can't retreat, thus bottlenecking them. Move out!"
Five minutes later...
Now that everyone's in position all we have to do is, wait the Britannians already here, I quickly activate my com, "Positions wait till the column is past and in position so we can bottleneck them."
Several minutes pass as we wait for the Sutherlands to move into the kill box. A few minutes later, just as the last of enemy Sutherlands are where we want them, I give the signal. B Group suddenly blockades both ends of the street, after which both R and P Groups attack simultaneously. This attack caches the Brits by such surprise that Seven of them are killed with in seconds. I use this as an ample opportunity to come out both zigzagging and strafing them, cutting five of them down within minutes. Both B1 and R1 toss Chaos Mines a eight of the tangos, turning five of them into Swiss cheese and damaging the rest. The remaining three come at me shooting however I strafe to the left and quickly toss a Chaos Mine at them. while they evade I quickly zigzag and just as I'm about to get close to one I quickly pivot around and destroy his cockpit, B7 and R2 quickly take advantage of this and in a pincer move, they kill the remaining two hostiles.
Now that there are five left, we press the attack, however these picks manages to kill B8, P9, R15 and B7, but knowing my comrades this won't deter them or me for that manner, only strengthen our resolve to crackdown harder on the Purists. Anyways, R2 scythes through the scum fully determined to exact her revenge for our comrades deaths. I smile at the scene as I dodge enemy gunfire, briefly thinking of how Becky is the hardest hit when our comrades die. Truth be told there's a reason she's referred to as the 'The Hammer of the W-0 Unit.' Anyways, unsurprisingly she kills three in quick succession, leaving two more Sutherlands to be BBQED by the rest of us. The remaining two charge directly towards Becky, however putting my Frame into overdrive I strafe and zigzag quickly enough to blast them both, thus allowing both P1 and R3 to vaporize both tango's.
Suddenly I get a transmission from Lelouch, "Q1 there's new Knightmare frame taking down some of our forces in Sector Eight, me, Q2, Q3 and Q4 are currently pined down, we can hold him off for now, however we need immediate assistance!"
I nod, " Understood Zero, moving to your location now."
Six Minutes later, at Sector Eight...
Time: 1:28 PM
Me, P1, P2, P7, P8, R1, R2, R3, R4, R8, B1, B6, B10, B12 and B15 arrive along with several other reinforcements we can muster together and see Lelouch and three others retreating from a white Knightmare Frame. I tighten my fist, realising that if I don't do something and fast Lelouch and the others will die. The best way to save them is to use our current location to our advantage, "B Group I want you to hide behind the buildings on the left-side of the street and P Group will hide behind the buildings on the right-side of the street, R Group will hide on the roofs of the buildings on the left side of the street and Q group will hide on the roofs of the buildings on the right-side of the street. There are two buildings on both ends of this street: I'll designate them as building 1 and building 2. N1, N2, N3, N4, N5, N6 and N7 will act as snipers and be posted on top Building 1 while K1, K2, K3, K4, K5, and K6 will also act as snipers and be posted on top of Building 2.
As soon as the White Knightmare comes down this street, N Group and Q Group will launch a simultaneous assault on him and while the Frame is under attack both P and B Groups will zigzag until he is put down. While this is happening R Group will then, while maintaining cover on the roofs open fire on the hostile. I want everyone's primary focus on getting the hostile closer to K Group, because this entire ambush is merely a distraction designed so that K Group will use the chaos as an opportunity to lineup their shots to take the tango out. In order for this to work I'll have to contact Zero as well as use myself as bait to draw this freak here."
As soon as my orders are given to the squad I switch frequencies and contact Lelouch, "Zero I've brought reinforcements and I have a plan that might work..."
Four minutes later, still in sector Eight (after Kallen contacts Lelouch)...
Time: 1:32 PM
"I understand Q1, lets move!"
The good news is the tango's following us, the band news is that the forces that I gathered before I managed to reach Lelouch after setting up the ambush have been eliminated. Anyways, we are forced to gun it for the ambush coordinates, barely staying a head of the white Knightmare. As we retreat the tango is still hot on our heels, I begin sweeting in anxiety, a sense of unwarranted foreboding fear gnaws in the back of my head at the very notion of our questionable survivability.
The main culprit of my anxiety and fear is the tango charging after us. Despite the initial plan draw him into our trap, the possibility of the actual reality of dying is excruciatingly painful both to me and the others. Luckily this doesn't happen as we barely manage to stay ahead of him and ultimately manage to reach the ambush position. As soon as both us and the tango enters the area, I give the signal to attack. Once done, me Lelouch, Q2, Q3 and Q4 turn around and while zigzagging attack the tango. As we're engaging, both B and N Groups launch a simultaneous assault on the hostile. As the hostile is engaging us, P Group barrels out in scything formation while zigzagging towards the tango. It is thanks to Lelouch we know of the White Knightmare's shield and thus we can hopefully effectively compensate for the enemy's attempted use of the thing.
Suddenly both Q and R groups open fire on the tango, causing the hostile to make small, but stupid mistakes. As soon as there is an opening K Group opens fire and manage to hit the tango in the head legs an torso, causing the hostile to crash to the ground. I sigh and turn on my com, "We could kill the pilot, however there's no honor in ending this guy while he's basically defenceless, that's the Britannian method, not ours and besides we have other things to deal with. Mainly forcing Clovis to order a ceasefire. Anyways, Zero what should we do with the pilot?"
"Take him prisoner, we'll figure out what to do afterwards."
Ten minutes later (after successfully sneaking aboard the Britannian G1 and after Lelouch tells Kallen about getting Geass while on the way to their destination)...
Location: Throughout Shinjuku
Time: 1:42 PM
Clovis la Britannia: "Attention all forces, ceasefire at once I Clovis, Third Prince of the Empire, and Royal Viceroy of Area 11, here by command ceasefire at once! You will also case destruction of any buildings or property any casualties whether they be Britannian or Eleven shall be treated equally and with out prejudice, in the name of Clovis La Britannia you are here by ordered ceasefire I will allow no further fighting"
Location: Clovis's G1
Clovis quirks his eyebrow, "Well are you Satisfied?"
Lelouch deadpans, "Very, well done"
Clovis, begins to drone on again, "What shall we do now? sing a few lively ballads or perhaps a nice game of chess?"
To me Clovis is the worst the human race as to offer. His very words forces the bile from my stomach to my mouth in record time. I simply shake my head in disgust. With a snarling voice, "Clovis your just a bad tasteless joke. You honestly think you could get away with this damn massacre? However, unfortunately for you will pay for your crimes against the Japanese people!"
Clovis loses a bit of color, "Who are you two?"
Both me and Lelouch approach Clovis and step out of the shadows. I laugh and with a gruff voice say, "That is none of your concern Clovis!"
While looking at this sorry abomination of nature, I stare in brief wonderment at how Lelouch Claire, Nunnally and Marry are related to this gutter trash. closing my eyes for a brief second, I say the words that will condemn this creature to eternal damnation, "Clovis la Britannia, you are here by charged with the crime of committing a genocidal campaign against the Japanese people in Shinjuku, now what could you possible say, if anything at all about your crime? what possible justification do you have for the slaughter of innocents?"
Clovis is stunned but reply's, "There just Elevens who cares about those monkeys!"
I shake my head, "Clovis la Britannia I hereby pronounced you guilty of the genocide of the Japanese in Shinjuku, your sentence is death"
"WHAT!" Clovis shrieks.
With righteous determination I walk up to Clovis and shoot him in the head. Lelouch merely nods, deciding our next course of action,"Q1, collect everything here including all security footage and all contents on Code- R, the KGB will help us out with that score, once done we're going to broadcast Clovis's crime internationally."
I suddenly remember something, "Zero before we forget, we should execute General Bartley and the others, by the way thanks for telling me about you Geass."
Before Lelouch can say a thing, I walk over to a Geassed Bartley and shoot him in the head, then I proceed to execute the other Geassed bridge staff and then...
Next day...
Date: Friday, August 11th, 2017
TV's and radio stations throughout both Area 11 and the world (thanks to the Soviets)
Time: 11:00 AM
Zero: "Yesterday afternoon Britannian authorities invaded and butchered innocent Japanese civilians in Shinjuku claiming falsely that it was poison gas. There was no poison gas at all, but there was a gas capsule, it contained not poison gas, but an innocent young women around either 17 or 18 years old. It was discovered yesterday that Prince Clovis was doing human experimentation on this woman. But fortunately she is now freed, thanks to the efforts of the brave men and women of the Japanese resistance within Shinjuku. In response to her escape from the vile clutches of Prince Clovis; the Britannian forces butchered the Japanese people in Shinjuku. In Prince Clovis's own words they were to carry,"
Clovis la Britannia: "Out a planned urban renewal."
Zero: "What this urban renewal is was nothing more and nothing less than a genocidal campaign against the Japanese people in Shinjuku in order to simply cover up Prince Clovis's human experimentation project known as Code R.
Zero first play's a snippet of Britannian propaganda:
Propagandist Recording: "Britannia's resounding victory over Japan opened the unenlightened nation's eyes to it's true place in to days world order. Since then the Empire and Area 11 have walked hand in hand down the road to revival."
After the recording ends, TV's across the world play scenes of the Japanese civilians being massacred in Shinjuku
These monsters try to dehumanize the Japanese people, they call the brave freedom fighters that resist Britannian tyranny and oppression; terrorists, I say no! The brave Japanese freedom fighters are not terrorists they are hero's. It is the Britannian military, police and administration that are the true terrorists. Prince Clovis paid for the deaths of all the innocent Japanese men, women and children that he so thoughtlessly massacred, for what, for in his own words,"
Zero then pulls out a tape recorder and plays Clovis's giving the order to massacre the Japanese, "If knowledge of her gets out I'll be disinherited. As Clovis third prince of the empire, destroy Shinjuku Ghetto! Leave no one alive!"
After this Zero turns of the recorder and puts it away, "These are the exact words of former Viceroy Clovis that was extracted from his G1's audio logs. This man represents corruption. This man represents fear. This man represents tyranny and this man represents Britannia's social Darwinism at it's finest! Don't believe the lies and propaganda of the Britannian media. Through this Broadcast I have brought you nothing but absolute Truth! I am Zero, I protect the innocent and punish the guilty, for I am the seeker of truth!"
TV's across the world playing the scenes of the Japanese civilians being massacred in Shinjuku end.
Author's note:
Even though this chapter is short, the part of The Battle of Shinjuku that's in this chapter is from Kallen's perspective only, however Kallen is only one of the commanders in the entire battle. She is initially assigned to Sector 4. I would have shown more of the battle, however I'm not yet experienced in righting chapters (hence why I wright: (whatever) minutes later). Future Chapters will get better as I gain more experience (once I do gain more experience I'll rewrite this chapter (making it longer, meaning more of the battle will be shown) and any others that need it) if people request more to the Battle of Shinjuku.
Another thing I must address and it's impotent: In one review (not this fic) I'm told that the USA doesn't exist in the CG Universe, this is true, however in the timeline I clearly state that Canada, Alaska, Greenland and Iceland is combined to form the Britannian homeland. Here's the thing since the Americans won the Revolution, the British royal family would move to land they STILL have control over, they couldn't get to Australia and New Zealand because of the location and the British Raj is under Chinese control at the time (besides the surviving Royals (at this point in the timeline) want revenge, in order for this to happen they need a large population to even attempt to achieve their revenge, this realistically isn't possible if they do manage to successfully move to ether Australia or New Zealand and make ether (or combine the two) into their new Homeland (aka they need a large army to not only military defeat their enemies, but also occupy multiple countries at the exact same time(witch the Brit's want to do), however North America is just across the Atlantic from the British Isles. Also there is a reason both Kallen's mother's parents moved to the USSR. At the time: Japan's Healthcare is terrible, the Japanese people have to PAY for medical care which is expensive (especially for pregnant women because of the high population in Japan, which the Japanese government is trying to drastically reduce (outright through draconian measures), there is a high infant mortality rate (because of the draconian measures), major corruption in the Japanese medical community (heavy nepotism), etc. In the USSR: All healthcare is FREE, it's not perfect, but the USSR's healthcare is FAR more advanced than Japan's is, not as nearly as much nepotism in the medical community as there is in Japan, a lower infant mortality rate than in Japan, the Soviet's don't use draconian measures to cut down on their population (because they don't need to), etc. It gets even worse for Nagisa's parents: Naomi Kōzuki is refused medical care because she has been blacklisted for speaking out against the regime (Japanese government), this means the STATE want's her TO die through inadequate medical care, (the Kōzuki's are very popular amongst the Japanese population (both are in the Japanese government), meaning it wouldn't be good for the government just to kill them outright (the Kozukis). However, in the USSR both Naomi and her baby will receive free medical care because under Soviet law (unlike current Japanese law) strictly forbids doctors from leaving pregnant women to die (even if they do speak out against the regime) because it's viewed (correctly) that: Why should an innocent unborn child suffer for the 'sins' of the mother? I'll simplify it: The Kōzuki's DON'T have a real choice: it's ether stay in Japan and probably Naomi dies with her child or risk taking Naomi to Russia and it's cold climate for a chance that both the mother and the baby survives.
Also I've been flamed for how the Stadtfeld's escape to the USSR. I've now rewrote why both the Stadtfeld and Kōzuki family's go to the USSR, meaning that for those that have already read the timeline, can (if they want) reread it.
P.S: I don't mind constructive criticism (it actually helps me fix holes in this (and my other) stories so I actually welcome it), however I dislike flamers. This is only to flamer's (Guest, I wish I could get rid of non guest flamer's review's): Your posts will be deleted!
PS.S: Despite this being an alternate universe and such, what happens leading up to the Battle of Shinjuku (canon) still happens until the start of this Chapter, the only two differences is that it's Rivalz that call's Lelouch instead of Shirley (because of him (Lelouch) leaving Rivalz behind to 'help' the occupants of the crashed truck) and Suzaku despite never meeting Lelouch until now, still gets shot by the Royal Guard because Lelouch successfully pretends to be an innocent civilian and Suzaku falls for it. Also I rewrote one major thing: General Bartley and the G1's bridge crew is now dead (this is both permanent and officially canon for my fic). Another thing (since I've been flamed before in my other stories reviews) Lelouch in my fic Isn't (nor will he be) to OCC, the reason he tells Kallen about his Geass is because both Kallen and Lelouch promise to both never keep secrets from nor lie to each other (I'll show this in a future flashback. Anyways, Both Lelouch and Kallen have the same type of relationship that Lelouch and Suzaku have in canon (pre-SAZ
