Invasion

Part 1: The Redwater Pirates

It had been a year since Nunnally had been crowned Empress after the death of her brother, Lelouch and everything had been peaceful in the Britanian empire. Kaguya had been leading the UFN and peaceful ties had been held firmly between the two kingdoms. Nunnally looked out the window of the Britanian palace at the beautiful blue sky. Just then the door opened behind her and she turned to see her Maid and friend, Sayoko enter the room.

"Sayoko," Nunually said in greeting, "is everything okay?"

"Yes mi' lady," Sayoko replied, "but it's time for your meeting with Lady Kaguya from the UFN."

"Oh right," Nunnally replied realizing that she had completely forgotten about the meeting. "Where are Gino and Suzaku?" she asked.

"They're preparing for the meeting even as we speak. Don't worry Ms. Nunnally, everything is going to go just fine."

"Alright then, let's go Sayoko," Nunnally ordered gently rolling her wheelchair towards the door.

"Hey Naruto!!!!Quit Day dreaming!" Naruto shot up with a start. He'd been gazing up and the gently rolling clouds in the sky thinking. He looked up and saw Sakura standing over him. "We don't have time to be laying around," she declared, "we need to get back to the village!"

"Sorry Sakura," declared Naruto standing up and brushing dust off of his pants and shirt.

"Hurry up you two," came Kakashi-sensei's voice from behind them, "we're going to be late."

"Yes sir Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto and Sakura shouted running after their sensei. Just then, a noise from above caught all of their attention. They looked up and saw that a giant airship was flying above them.

"Hmmm, wonder what that's all about," Kakashi declared.

"I've got a bad feeling," Naruto said looking up at the ship. Just then Shikamaru landed alongside them.

"There you three are," Shikamaru said, "come on, we need to hurry back to the village."

"What is it Shikamaru?" Sakura asked.

"I don't know, but the Hokage said it's important," Shikamaru declared.

Suzaku watched the meeting anxiously. He knew that Kaguya and her guardians Kallen and Tudoh could be trusted, but he still felt as if something was very wrong. He looked over at a security screen that had been set up for monitoring activity outside the palace and meeting room. Sayoko and the UFN guard Tamaki were still keeping watch, but still, something felt off. He tried to ignore it and turned his attention back to the meeting. He wondered if Kallen or Gino were feeling the same way he was. As he watched Nunnally and Kaguya discuss matters of their two nations politics, the feeling only got worse. It seemed as if the meeting couldn't end soon enough.

"Well, I think that about wraps everything up," Kaguya said, "I'd better return to the UFN and let them know the decision we've come to."

"Okay," Nunnally replied, "please travel back safely, Kaguya, Kallen," she said smiling. Suzaku felt relieved, but the relief was short lived as the security monitor in the center of the room switched on. Suzaku expected it to be Sayoko reporting something, but he was wrong. The face on the monitor was that of a man with long spiky red hair. He was muscularly built with a scar over his right-eye.

"Greetings Lady Nunnally and Representative Kaguya," the man said pleasantly, "it's so good to see you."

"Who are you!?" Gino demanded, "and how did you manage to hack into our secure network?"

"It wasn't difficult. We had a bit of an inside operative," he declared as a man walked behind him. Suzaku quickly recognized him.

"Deithard!"

"Hello Empress Nunnally, Zero," Deithard replied pleasantly.

"Always looking for a story, eh Deithard?" Suzaku declared coldly.

"Of course. This peaceful world we live in now is so boring. I decided some action would spice things up a bit," Deithard replied, "and wouldn't you know it that I'd find an old Black Knights base that hadn't been cleared out by the UFN yet. These wonderful terrorists did the rest."

"Terrorists!?" Nunnally exclaimed in surprise.

"That's correct," replied the Red haired man. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Coloniel Redwater, and these are my Redwater pirates!"

"The Redwater Pirates?" Gino and Suzaku both responded.

"We must act quickly if we're to preserve the peaceful ties between the Britannian empire and the UFN." Tsunade declared, "This mission takes priority over all others. We'll be working with our allies from the Hidden Sand Village for this mission. We must stop these terrorists known as the Redwater Pirates at all costs!"
