Bad Situation
Kallen Kozuki the ace of the black knights was captured during a battle against Xing Ke and his shen hu knightmare frame. Her Gurren ran out of power and she lost thus she is in the situation she is now.
"Damn it how could I have lost and been captured like this. Me the ace of the black knights." Kallen cursed at the fact she was in tis position.
"The reason is you were so fucking stupid and went to fight with a knightmare with low energy. Geez that is so fucking basic always check your equipment before fighting!" Someone familiar shouted at her.
"That voice? Diaz? What are you doing here?" Kallen saw Diaz in a cell beside hers.
"Me taking a vacation I caused some trouble and got caught on purpose." Diaz smiled. "This is the only place I can relax. They put me here a month ago."
"You have got to be kidding? Relax here? Are you insane?" Kallen was astonished anyone would want to get caught in prison.
"Honey I have been in the clink more times than I can remember. This shit we're here at this is a Hilton hotel compared to the hell holes I was put in this doesn't even qualify as a slam. What you call hell I call home Kallen." Diaz stared at the roof.
As Kallen and Diaz kept conversing there jailers arrived. The knights of the round.
"Hey Suzaku check this out not only did we catch that lovely hottie Kallen Kozuki but also got a huge bonus the legendary Roanapur mercenary Diaz Cruz. Heh is this our lucky day or what." Gino seemed quite happy about the catch. "Don't you think so Anya?"
"I guess." Anya took a picture of Diaz with her camera.
"Make sure you get my good side or I'll tear you in two." Diaz joked at Anya sadly in his case violent jokes tend to come true.
"Kallen how are you?" Suzaku greeted Kallen.
"I have nothing to say to you traitor!" Kallen looked away from him unwilling to give him any more words.
"You still think that of me? I don't blame you. He has tainted you with his flawed reasoning." Suzaku felt pity for Kallen following a path of bloodshed.
"Tainted me with his flawed reasoning? So I should just become a slave like you and to hell with the rest of my people and kiss Britannias ass to get a good life. You maybe fine with that but I'm not I want freedom for the Japanese. Something you should be doing!" Kallen snapped at him seems Suzaku got a rise from her. Her anger is really stemmed from the fact Suzaku is a pure blood Japanese unlike herself and he is not helping his country.
"So you think bloodshed is the answer!? Lets keep killing and destroying till someone gives out! Let sacrifice more people till we get what we want!? Is that how you think the Japanese will attain freedom and respect!? By reducing the world to chaos!? If so I really pity you he really has corrupted you into his way. The devils words and promises are sweet but you don't realize what lies beneath all that." Suzaku looked at her rather angry he then looked at Diaz.
"And you! You I really despise most of all! A man with your power, intelligence and skill could become a great hero an example for the people of the world but you squander that strength in petty crime and pursuit of profit! You could change the system from within better than I can but no you do crime, hurt and kill people and destroy property and for what money and power. Your pathetic and worse than Zero!" Suzaku said these words in anger at that man who could have been someone great.
"Wait back the fuck up. You're lecturing me? You a fucking cock sucking little pissant brat mother fucker is lecturing me? Listen little boy! You have absolutely no right to question my choices in life. I unlike you understand the true gravity of choice. You on the other hand don't seem to get it at all. When you learn what that is then and only then can you question my choices in life! And lets not forget you whining, bitching and moaning about changing systems from within. Boy that type of thinking will get you a sad and lonely life! Bloodshed and bullets change governments far surer than speeches, votes and systems! A wise Britannian arms dealer said that Simeon Weisz! A man I had the great pleasure of meeting and have utmost respect for!" Diaz then got to Suzakus face.
"In short if you're not willing to make sacrifices then you ain't changing a fucking thing!" Diaz stared at him. "I may not like or trust Zero but at least he understands how to get things done unlike you!"
Suzaku lost it and punched Diaz in the face. But Diaz didn't even flinch.
"Is that supposed to be a punch? I would say you hit like a girl but what would be insulting Kallen here." Diaz smirked while Kallen smiled she enjoyed the comment. "Comeback when you you grow up and leave Disney land boy."
Diaz lied down unwilling to talk with Suzaku any longer.
"Don't worry we won't be seeing each other again I can assure you." Suzaku left.
Angered Suzaku staring pounding anything he could find Diaz words left him fuming. Suddenly prince Schneizel appeared.
"Something got you angry hasn't it Suzaku?" Schneizel looked at the angry knight.
"Its that man Diaz Cruz! I can't believe such a selfish person exists!" Suzaku pounded a table.
"Diaz was brought up in a different more harsher environment than you or me. I always questioned what Cornelia sees in him. But you don't have to worry about that we are going to send him away from you or anyone else. To butcher bay." Schneizel smiled.
"Good that's where he belongs the worse prison in all Britannia." Suzaku gave a small smile.
"But I'm afraid Kallen Kozuki will be sent to butcher bay as well." Schneizel was expecting a certain reaction from Suzaku.
"What? Wait a minute! Diaz I understand but Kallen you can't be possibly be serious! Kallen can be turned around please just give me a chance to..!"
"Suzaku Kururugi knight of seven. Kallen Kozuki has already made her choice. She is an enemy of the empire and has committed countless crimes of war against Britannia. This is an imperial order and cannot be retracted. Do you have any problems with it if so.." Schneizel gave this with a commanding presence.
"No sir I don't." Suzaku was clearly upset but could not question the second princes' command. "My god Kallen being in Butcher Bay the tales I hear of that place damn it!"
Suzaku and Schneizel left to go to Kallen and Diaz's location to bring them the very bad news.
In the cells Gino wants to talk to Kallen but she didn't want anything to do with him. Anya was still looking at Diaz with her usual emotionless expression and taking some pictures which Diaz gladly posed for at her request.
"Well Well if it ain't the second prince of Britannia. To what do we owe the displeasure of your presence." Diaz really wanted to gut this guy open.
"Nothing much just announcing were you're gonna be sent. Diaz Cruz for your uncountable crimes which I quite frankly don't have the time to list cause they are so many. You are hereby sentenced to Butcher Bay prison without possibility for parole and for life." Schneizel decreed this.
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Awesome! I'm going to the best, toughest and evilest slam in the Britannian penal system yeah baby yeah!" Diaz was extremely happy with the announcement. "Shit man you made my fucking day!"
"Laugh it up merc we will see how long your joy lasts. As for you Kallen Kozuki for your crimes against Britannia you are also sentenced to Butcher bay prison with the same conditions as Diaz." Schneizel smirked for the fact that now Diaz's mood will change.
Sure enough the second prince was right when Diaz heard that Kallen was going to join him in Butcher Bay prison he got worried. And Kallen herself was not exactly thrilled either
"Eh did I hear this right? You're sending Kallen to Butcher Bay? Your highness that is well harsh." Gino did not want Kallen to go there he knows first hand what really goes on there. "Suzaku please do something!"
It was useless as Suzaku did try but failed the decree won't change.
"Nice knowing you Kallen."A sad Gino left alongside Anya.
"Kallen! Please change your ways. The fate you're going to suffer in Butcher Bay will be nothing short of hell on earth. If you renounce the black knights I can put in a good word with the prince." Suzaku tried to reason with her but Kallen was unflinching in her resolve. "So that's your choice then there is nothing I can do I'm sorry."
"Wait! Schneizel! You as well as I know Kallen does not belong in Butcher Bay! If she is going then I want her to be my cell mate near me at all times!" Diaz shouted at the second Prince.
"Hmm you want me to do this favor for you alright but in return you must do something for me." Schneizel smirked. "If you manage to escape Butcher Bay then I will call upon you to do one thing for me. Agree to this and I will arrange Kallen to be transferred to your cell. Do we have a deal?"
"Fucker! Alright deal I will do something for you if I get out! You have my word on this!" Diaz agreed to Schneizel's terms. "But I give you fair warning if you fuck me over and Kallen gets put in another cell with god as my witness I'll hunt you till you die!"
"You don't have to worry. You will get what you want! Having a favor from you is worth more than anything." The second prince smiled and left.
"Excuse me why did you ask for that?" Kallen questioned Diaz decision.
"Butcher bay is a hell hole so bad a girl like you wouldn't last a day! I owe Naoto that much to look after you till your leader comes." Diaz looked at his cell all over.
"Will he come for me? It been three months now and I see no rescue attempt." Kallen was beginning to doubt if she was ever going to be rescued.
"He will his words were sincere. He is going to come but he can't rush in to early if he does then Lelou er Zero is going to be sharing a cell with us in Butcher Bay. And lemme tell ya if you wouldn't last a day he wouldn't last a mili second." Diaz comforted Kallen with these words. "If I happen to be wrong and he doesn't come for you then I will personally remove his lying tongue and shove it up his ass!"
"Do you always solve problems with violence?" Kallen asked Diaz.
"Yes negotiating usually gets get me shot and usually it gets me a hole in the ass." Diaz replied
Kallen and Diaz for the day they would be taken to Butcher Bay. Kallen still waited for Zero/Lelouch to come rescue her.

Stage 1
Welcome to Butcher Bay
Authors Note: This is an AU of legendary mercenaries taking place when Kallen got captured. The title if you don't already know it is a homage to one of the greatest FPS games of all time Chronicles of Riddick Escape from Butcher Bay. As for how bad my butcher bay is well lets just say Kallen would go insane if Diaz isn't around not too mention many nasty would happen to her.
