Note: I don't own Code Geass

Hello another attempt by me at writing fanfiction. This was originally chapter 2 but I scrapped chapter 1 and merged into this one.

Without further ado I present Lelouch's conquest.


Tokyo Settlement

Lelouch sat in his knightmare casually leaning his elbow against the arm rest and his head on his closed fist plotting deviously as he always did. With a small laugh he talked to himself. "This is will do. Once we broadcast images to the world of their Government Bureau falling to us, along with our declaration of independence, he'll be forced to face to me."

Lelouch had the face of that man in his mind which brought anger to himself but he remained calm and collected. "And if I get him, get the Britannian Emperor to meet one on one, then all the pieces will fall into my hands." Lelouch simply smirked and C.C merely blinked as she looked at the monitor in front of her.

Down below in the settlement the Black Knights were about to move in and take the Settlement as they took all their positions. "How does the enemy air power look" Tohdoh asked gathering intelligence.

"Our allied groups are concentrating on striking them hard in each sector. The rest are around the Izu Area, Sado and Awaji Islands." Nagisa Chiba reported.

"Then the times is right, now's our chance!" Tohdoh said, then with a glint in his eye he gave the order to all units with a single word. "Attack!" The whir of Burais could be heard as hundreds of them descended into the Tokyo Settlement as they spotted their targets which had fallen down to their level.

Tohdoh looked on his monitor as he observed the squads moving forward as he then gave orders.

"Third Squad take the media sector! Sixth Squad, take the harbour! Special Forces, suppress the lower levels! All remaining, push in from the front, gather intelligence on the enemy forces!"

Tohdoh lead the charge with his Zangetsu as Kallen the fiery red Guren accompanied him along with the other forces

"ALL FORCES, HEAR ME!" Cornelia shouted giving her commands through her knightmare and she slammed the end of the lance next to her as a sign of her authority. "FALL BACK TO THE BRITANNIAN GOVERNMENT BUREAU!" As she motioned her Knightmare pointing towards their building that signified their dominance.

"Yes, Your Highness!" came the chant from her subordinates.

Cornelia then noticed a Sutherland that was next to her as it was down on one knee and was damaged, roughed up but was overall still okay. "What's wrong?" she questioned the pilot. "If you're having trouble controlling it, just detach the cockpit block."

The blonde pilot on the inside was bleeding with head injuries as he had hit his head in the Sutherland's cockpit during the purge of the Settlement's layers. "No Princess Cornelia, forget about me and get to the Bureau!" the pilot replied to Cornelia as he heard the Black Knights approach.

"Cornelia's been found! Surround her!" Tohdoh commanded as his Knightmare charged forward and leaped to slice Cornelia in half. "Meet your fate!" he shouted. The injured pilot whom Cornelia had been attending to jumped forward as Tohdoh came down from the air and cut the Sutherland into two with his blade that was even longer than his Zangetsu as he slammed down.

Cornelia, the Goddess of Victory gritted her teeth and jumped back onto the stone rubble to avoid Tohdoh's blade where her other forces were as he tried to kill her. "Tohdoh you phantom!" she said angrily. As Tohdoh continued to charge forward when a Gloucestor charged forward with a lance with its cape flying in the wind.

"No Princess, stand aside, leave him to me!" Guilford shouted as he rushed forward and he thrust the lance which Tohdoh easily avoided but jumping straight up into the air where Tohdoh noticed the moves and the voice. "Well, that's the one from Narita!" he noted he crashed his KMF down upon which the Gloucestor under Guildford's skill carefully and quickly moved back to avoid the strike and then moved forward thrust the lance forward which was met with Todoh's blade as sparks flew of each of their weapons.

"Get away while you can Princess."

"Do you expect me to simply abandon my men and run away?!" Cornelia questioned her knight.

"Your Highness, you must survive! For Princess Euphemia's honour as well!" Guildford said as the moved the controls on his unit as threw the lance away and drew a long thin that was attached to his cockpit block. "Go now, because My Lady I am the knight you chose to champion you!"

"That sword's the same one as the Lancelot's!" Tohdoh commented as Guildford was moving back to remove himself out of the deadlock they just had out and from threat as his Gloucestor had the two legs apart and the sword ready to battle.

"Therefore I must be the one who stays and fights!" Guildford reported to his Princess.

"So be it." Cornelia accepted the path her knight had chosen and gave him what could very well be his last orders. "Then, Guildford, your orders are to come back alive, my knight!"

Cornelia's knight in his cockpit smiled at the challenge before him and gave his reply. "Yes, Your Highness, I will return!"

Meanwhile above the Settlement Lelouch began giving orders and dispatching the Black Knights to secure the victory as he sat in the first and higher seat of the two man cockpit as he looked at the zoomed in image of Ashford Academy which still stood standing surrounded by the rubble of the Settlement. "The school area is a priority for the Special Forces and the Zero Squad to take over. We'll use one of the buildings for our command centre."

"What at the school?" came Ohgi's uncertain reply.

"Ohgi, you stand by out there as well." Lelouch ordered and he didn't receive a reply. "Ohgi!" he said raising his voice.

"Uh, right. Understood Zero." Ohgi replied with an uncertain voice in his Burai cockpit as he looked down at his phone wondering why he wasn't receiving an answer.

On Board the Avalon

Suzaku Kururugi walked the depths of the Avalon with his feet clicking where reached the hangar bay and saw the Lancelot standing still as he prepared to pilot it and take revenge for Euphemia but he was stopped as Lloyd suddenly walked out from behind the Lancelot's leg.

Suzaku saw him dangling the start key on his index key. "You're planning to go to the Tokyo Settlement, aren't you?" the Earl asked him as Suzaku made a grab for the key but Lloyd was too quick as he moved out the way in some kind of exotic dance. "The A.S.E.E.C exists for research and development, it appears our duties have wound to an end, and we haven't been ordered by the Viceroy to go out there either."

Suzaku was grim faced as stood there facing the facts. "Leaving would be a violation of orders, right?" smiled the eccentric scientist.

"Suzaku I know how you feel but…" Cecile began.

Suzaku stood there and he knew what he should do. "Rules are rules after all."

"Oh goody." cried the Earl. "For a second I thought that you were going to punch my face or something of that matter to get the ignition key."

Unknown Location within Area 11

At the centre was a large tank that was like a large sealed test tube. Inside the blue liquid bubbled rapidly around the subject that was floating in the inside with multiple test tubes that were connected to his body symmetrically. The tubes were connected to both his wrists, back of the shoulders, one directly in the centre of his back and the back of his neck.

The thick black tubes lead to the top of the tank where certain fluids were injected into the black haired man. He was very thin but muscular which seemed very odd as his body was convulsing every second or so.
The young man on the inside was wearing a skin tight suit with black straps all across his body and on his face was the same visor used on Britannian soldiers as well as a respirator that covered all of his face below the eyes that was in the same angle as his jawline.

Surrounding the test tube in the green illuminated room were scientists in white lab coats over the casual clothes they wore. One of them was on the phone that was attached to the wall. He placed it back down and his face was white as a ghost.

One of the other scientists asked what was wrong, his reply was, "Mass outbreak, rebellion lead by Zero. We the other section of Code-R has been ordered to move out."

"Move out!?" one of them exclaimed. "Are they mad? We can't move, we simply can't move with this kind of tech!?"

"I know that! But we are in danger of being overrun by the rebels."

One of them paced across the room back and forth in slow thinking way, all he could produce from his thinking was a very loud swear word. "We can't abandon this test subject, he's more valuable than the one Bartley has under his wing. We've managed to use the data from C.C and Jeremiah and apply it to this subject." He rambled.

It was very clear that this man was the head scientist here and his name was Rupert Scaron, he had initially helped develop cybernetics which led to the creation of the knightmare frame. "Gentlemen, for us to move out means to abandon our subject and we cannot do that right after managing replicating C.C's regenerative power." He announced to his research team.

They all nodded in agreement, they were scientists, not soldiers. Then the alarm sensors went off. "What's happening?" Rupert demanded.

"The test subject, oh my God, this isn't possible. He's awakening." One scientist said as he checked the monitors.

They all backed off as the glass cracked and the large tank shattered as the thick glass gave way to the pressure that was building up. The blue liquid flooded on the subject came down with the water as the tubes ripped off.

The subject stood up slowly, the tubes had ripped off and were extending about one metre of the connection points of his body with an electrical buzz as he had ripped them off. He looked up with his unnaturally dark black eyes, he flexed his lean muscular arms and looked at the scientists.

"Good evening gentlemen." He said to the scientists slowly with a hint of malice in voice. He raised himself up, and approached them slowly. "I'm going to kill you scum!" The black haired man shouted as his slow pace burst into a quick jump.

He latched himself on to the head scientist, even though they were scientists, they had been give fire arms as a precaution they tried firing at him with the shots echoing. However he was too quick for the scientists as he decapitated Rupert.

Panicking the scientists dropped the weapons and tried to run but one by one they were shot dead by their own weapons. The experimental subject walked over to one of the computer terminals and accessed the current news.

After he viewed the current situation he took a good hard look at the computers and very efficiently poured through the information as his eyes darted back and forth reading more than a few hundred pages in a few minutes. He absorbed very piece of information

He was intrigued especially by this C.C character whoever she was they based their technology on her and tried to apply it to him along with these Knightmare Frames. But what kept nibbling at his mind was that he couldn't remember anything, not even his name.

Still not knowing what else to do he exited the scientific facility and decide to aid the Black Knights for the sheer fun of it and to help him recover his memories. But more importantly he needed to learn more about this Code-R while the logs he read did give him an idea but the man really he wanted to know was who let this section run and their overall intent.

Black Knights Assault upon the Tokyo Settlement

The Burais returned heavy fire to the Sutherlands that had taken a position blasting away at the debris that Britannians were using for cover. Meanwhile below them Tohdoh was busy trying to subdue Cornelia's knight. As he tried to use his blade to slaughter Guildford but the knight had moved back and the blue light flashed from the sword uselessly.

Guildford positioned his KMF and leaped backwards as he retreated further into safer Britannian territory. Tohdoh held his position for a second when machine fire erupted aimed at the position where Guildford had just been.

Two Akatsuki frames came to Todoh's as they stopped just behind his own unit as there seemed to be imminent danger at that moment. "Lt. Colonel, should we pursue?" asked Senba.

"Where are the other units?" Tohdoh answered Senba's question with a question of his own.

"They're approaching, climbing up from the side… Hm!?" Senba began the report but they were interrupted by a sudden launch of rockets that came swirling down upon them. However they were easily avoided by the experienced soldiers.

The rockets had come from Gloucestor frames that had were higher up from where Guildford retreated and Guildford was still at least one or two levels below them as he saw them. "The Glaston Knights?"

"Lord Guildford, we're holding a position just ahead of here. Please head back!"

"I appreciate that. I'm grateful!"

"Think nothing of it sir. Originally we were all subordinates under General Darlton's command." Claudio Darlton replied as he ran his finger across the red triangular visor that had thick black trims. "We still don't know if he's alive or dead, but our duty to Viceroy Cornelia comes first."

"Do you know the situation?" Guildford asked his now subordinates.

Claudio was the one to answer once more. "The enemy's frontal assault is a diversion. But if we beat them here, the rest are simply militia forces." Then he finally put the visor on and corrected himself. "I mean, they're just rabble."

Above the Tokyo Settlement

Another Britannian assault aircrafts had been incinerated by the Hadron Cannon, C.C on the controls held the Gawain in the same position and swivelled it 360 degrees as Lelouch held the fire on the Hadron Cannon as the Gawain turned he rained the black and red streams of death in what was about a few seconds the pair had destroyed Britannian air power.

Lelouch sat with his hand still on the blue controls as he began issuing orders and waited for each of his subordinates' replies.

"Diethard, enemy air power's been taken care of. Kaguya will command the G1. Move to your assigned location immediately." Lelouch ordered.

"Understood." The boom of Diethard's voice came.

"Yoshida, get the Raikou ready."

"Yes sir!" the enthusiastic reply.

"Tamaki, do you know Rakshata's status?"

"She's on the move" Tamaki said in his annoying voice,

"Kallen, go provide her group with backup."

"Right!"

"Tohdoh, you know what to do if you see the target."

"Understood!" the intelligent voice replied.

Then Lelouch contacted Ohgi. "Okay, now what's the name of the collaborator Ohgi?"

"Uh… I have it as a Sayoko Shinozaki."

Lelouch's eyes widened that his loyal maid had joined in the rebellion, still she would be useful to him.

Black Knights Assault upon the Tokyo Settlement

The Black Knights had set up a position and just needed to destroy the debris in front of them which would then allow then to climb to the Settlement and they had the tool just for that, the four Glasgows that had been attached to a cannon to create an immensely powerful linear cannon.

Yoshida in the backseat began to power it up. "Super Electromagnetic Shrapnel Cannon." He said with his voice progressively getting louder and when the indicator turned red. "FIRE!" he shouted as pushed the button.

The capsule was fired which then opened split open in the acceleration which released small orbs that were like grey beads except they were large and at the speeds it was travelling at was devastating and obliterated the debris in front of them.

Tamaki in his Knightmare gave an order that was probably the just about to the first and only important he would give. "First Special Forces move in!" he commanded by motioning his Knightmare's arm.

The First Special Forces moved in as they went into the clear area of debris it was just the broken down buildings and the support structures of the settlement however they all knew better. They faced the Knightmares towards the ceilings and fired the slash harkens and reeled in as they began to climb higher as they would move to their objectives and the rest of the forces would assault the Bureau from the front.

Lelouch in the air looked at the monitor, his unit was still a Britannian one and such it registered the Black Knights as red enemy dots and the Britannians as friendly blue dots. The blue dots were all concentrated around the figure of the Bureau while the red dots were closing in steadily on the government as Lelouch observed what was happening.

"They only seem to be defending the Government Bureau right now." C.C stated as she too looked at the monitor.

"As expected, they try not to scatter themselves while waiting for reinforcements." Lelouch commented.

HiTV Building

"Don't move! We're the Black Knights! We've taken over this building!" Kent Sugiyama was directing the soldiers around the building as he had walked into the studio and across all the screens was a picture of him uniformed with his visor along with his arm waved across in a manner of authority.

"No… it can't be the" the head of HiTV looked at the one who had the pistol before him in the broadcasting room. That man with his hair in a ponytail and that ever booming voice.

"Hello Chief, I've brought you an exclusive" Diethard announced having the pistol glare at his former superior. "Shall we transmit this to the world? The moment when Zero changes everything in our lives. Now that's a scoop."

"Right" replied the chief nervously, how had he not seem this coming, Diethard was a mad man, he was no different from Zero and all he wanted was a performance and his talents be used properly.

"We'll give the public a spectacular show that'll exceed whatever they hope to see." Diethard announced with a maniacal grin on his face that rivalled one of the many smiles that Lelouch had.

Ashford Academy

The student council members watched on the laptop of the broadcasted news, Milly, Rivalz, Shirley and Nunally sat in fear as they tried to get the latest feed on the situation. However the lady who was reporting abruptly stood up with fear in her face and the signal cut off replaced with a still image of the Black Knight's logo.

"Huh?" the confused Rivalz said as he thought there was something wrong with his laptop.

"That was it." Milly commented as she knew what had happened. "The last broadcasting station, they're all down."

That's when the door opened with its usual whir and then poured in three Black Knight's members who were led by Tamaki who aimed their rifles at them and he began yelling his demands. "Hands up and turn around!"

The students all turned around and got up from where they were and just looked at the situation with shock and terror. "The Black Knights control the school, all of you are now our hostages!" Tamaki continued to ramble on.

Rivalz stood in front of his entire friend with his arm spread out like an eagle and gave Tamaki a demand. "Lower the guns!"

Tamaki was confused by the boy's idiocy which matched his own. "Huh? That's a hell of thing to say in this situation!"

"Rivalz!" Milly whispered to him in way to tell him to stop what he was doing.

"C'mon lemme be cool for once okay?" He whispered then speaking up to Tamaki. "I'll protect everyone!"

Tamaki raised his rifle so that he would hit the Britannian boy with the butt of the rifle. "Is that a fact!?" Tamaki yelled as he was just about he was bring it down. Rivalz winced as he prepared to be knocked out.

"Stop!" A voice of authority shouted. Everyone turned and looked at the Zero himself. "I expressly told you to avoid violence." Lelouch said in sly and angry voice as his orders had been disobeyed.

"Yeah, but you also told us that was gonna be our command centre, didn't you?" Tamaki replied in a whinging way.

"Your command centre!?" Milly said astounded that her Academy would be a base of operations for terrorists.

Why does it have to be Ashford, of all places, Kallen questioned mentally.

"Your academy is strategically useful for our purposes, therefore, we're turning it into a command centre. " Zero said giving his reasons.

"We're no position to refuse you." Milly retorted back to Zero.

"I guarantee that none of you will be harmed." Lelouch said assuring his friends.

Rivalz got up from where he was and faced Zero. "Like we can believe you!? You guys are at war with us Britannians!" Rivalz said. "We're enemies remember?!"

Kallen stepped forward. "Please, Rivalz, don't argue. Do what he says."

The council members where confused at how a Black Knight would know Rivalz who isn't famous at all, he isn't royalty and he certainly isn't nobility. Their questions were answered when the female Black Knight removed her blue reflective visor.

"Kallen!?" Milly and Rivalz said in unison shocked.

"Well, well, there's a surprise around every corner." Milly said blatantly. "Do I have your word that no one gets hurt? Not only us, but any of the student body, faculty, or staff, anywhere on the campus?"

"As long as nobody tries to leave the dorms or administrative offices, they ought to be fine." Kallen replied calmly.

"Tamaki" Zero ordered. "Take a few squads and I want a full sweep of the building, everyone who isn't a part of the Black Knights is to be taken up here or within a room with others. I'm not taking any chances, also if they are a student avoid violence this time or you will be reprimanded."

"Yes, understood Zero" Tamaki's reply came as he left the building leaving the students where they were and the other two soldiers stood on the outside keeping guard.

Zero and Kallen left when a soldier came up to him with a report. "Zero there's no sign of the Lancelot. I think he hasn't been ordered out."

"I see then, the Lancelot is a part of the research and development division and Cornelia doesn't want to rely on an advanced machine piloted by a number." Lelouch deducted. "That hot headed fool must always follow the rules. I've learnt that from him on Shikine Island."

"Send an order to all units keep watch for the Lancelot but do not assume he will come."

"Yes sir." The young Black Knight said he headed off into the main base of operations in Ashford Academy to give the command out.

"Kallen I want you on the front lines where Kururugi will most likely go if he heads out. If he doesn't appear you are to support the main frontal assault." Zero commanded.

"Right!" Kallen replied enthusiastically as she hurried out to get to the front lines.

"Zero, just who are?" Milly asked as Zero faced his back towards her as he was about to leave.

"As the name implies, I am nothing and above all I am no one." Lelouch replied to his friend as headed off to run a rebellion.

He walked into the main centre where Minami and Ohgi were handling everything, Minami was calm and collected while Ohgi was slightly panicking but still had a grip situation.

Then they all heard a high shriek, "ZEROOOOOOO" it came from a student and Tamaki along with another was dragging her forcefully as she was resisting. "Zero we found her downstairs in some kind of hangar. There was a Knightmare although it was old and would be useless in combat." Tamaki reported rather intelligently.

"Let her go." Zero commanded as he recognised Nina Einstein and they two Black Knights did just that and the unstable girl ran forward to Zero trying to throw a punch.

"P—Princess Euphemia will be avenged" she shrieked trying to punch Zero. Lelouch avoided the attack but not easily since his physical ability was just as bad Nina's. The word was spoken and the whole room tensed up as they looked at the frail Britannian girl with pure anger in their eyes.

"Tell me woman." Lelouch spoke to Nina up close to the Britannian girl who was kneeling and couldn't muster up the strength for another attack and she was breathing heavily onto the mask that was in her face. "Are you aware of what Euphemia did?"

"They were just elevens and if that was Princess Euphemia decided then she must be right." The mentally unstable girl replied ever so softly in the tensely quiet room.

"WRONG!" Zero shouted, but not as Zero but as Lelouch. "They are not elevens they are people like you are me."

"But I am a Britannian and they are…" Nina started with the tears continually rolling down her cheeks.

"Tamaki." Zero ordered now standing up and facing his back towards Nina. "Take her up to the room with the other students. This is one shining example of someone being exposed to too much of Britannian propaganda."

"Yeah, ok Zero" Tamaki obeyed the orders reluctantly as he dragged the girl up stairs. "Everyone else return to your post, I'm heading off to support the frontlines."

The quiet tense room immediately snapped back to what they were doing seeming as if the event they had just witnessed transpired but that memory was burnt into their minds. It was worse than the Britannians who abused them because this came from a frail girl.

Black Knights Assault upon the Tokyo Settlement

The Black Knights had taken out all the Britannians that stood in the way and were making the preparations to assault the Government Bureau, the last obstacle in their way for freedom. "Colonel?" asked Asahina.

"Asahina. What about Urabe?"

"He's moving on the energy filler depository right now sir." Asahina reported.

"All right, then let's go rendezvous with Senba and Chiba" Tohdoh ordered. "Once we recharge, we'll surround the Government Bureau and then we the main force will push in from the front!"

"Roger!" came the reply.

Ashford Academy

"Deputy Commander, we've captured someone." The Black Knight soldiers reported to Ohgi as he continued to look at the screen.

"Is it one of the students?" Ohgi replied as he stared at his allies' formation on the screen. "Don't worry, let him go. We haven't got a reason to hold him here."

"No, this was caught sneaking in through the rear gate."

"Sneaking in?" Ohgi questioned as he turned to look at who they had caught in as she stood in between two Black Knight soldiers with a scowl on her face.

Ohgi looked at her with an expression of shock on her face though he quickly gave a reply to the soldiers who had captured her. "Sh-She's a collaborator that reports directly to me. Take her into one of the unoccupied rooms, and I'll hear her report there."

Black Knights Assault upon the Tokyo Settlement

C.C piloting the Gawain moved it above the Black Knights who had just begun their assault on the Settlement. The Bureau in various places had opened up various holes to which revealed turrets that rained down machine gun fire on the main force.

The Knightmares fired the slash harkens up the wall and climbed up to stand on the edge of the great wall managing to let loose a few rounds before being destroyed by the hail of bullets. The Gawain moved into position with C.C on the movement controls and Lelouch on the weapons system as usual.

Lelouch had his head propped on his hand as he looked at the situation below him. "Their defences are strong as expected." He commented rather jokingly.

"Should you really be treating this so casually?" C.C asked as looked at the calm Lelouch was as if he didn't care. The monitor on the Gawain zoomed on the enemy aircraft bombers as they were approaching swift and steadily. "If they start bombing us then it's all over."

"Humph." Lelouch said annoyed as he placed his hands on the controls for the Hadron Cannons. "But we have replenished energy filler, don't we?"

The Gawain performed the same manoeuvre previously as it turned 360 degrees and destroyed the enemy air power by raining the red and black beams of death. "Tohdoh, I'm going to move in on the Government Bureau from above." Lelouch radioed to the commander of the frontlines. C.C lowered the Gawain but was still high in the air was it carefully manoeuvred down onto the back of the Government Bureau.

"Hmm? Isn't it risky to rely on the abilities of that machine?"Tohodh asked Zero as he looked at the machine descending behind the Bureau.

"I know that. I'm just going to create a little bit of confusion,

The Gawain came down and stopped at the back of the Bureau as Lelouch took a second to observe what he was looking at. It was a delicate and ornate garden with a mix yellows, blue, reds and whites. Lelouch recognising it spoke to himself. "It appears to be…" he began.

"Yes. Aries Villa." C.C said finishing the sentence of her accomplice.

Lelouch looked down upon the back of the witch's head in confusion and retorted with a glint of malice in his voice. "What!? How do you know that?" he demanded.

C.C still not looking at him gave an answer as she kept her hands steady on the controls. "I'll tell you some day when the time is right."

Before Lelouch could give ask the Witch anymore he heard a voice amplified by a Knightmare speaker system as he turned his head to face the voice.

"Welcome Zero." Came the mocking tone of Cornelia as she activated her custom purple Gloucestor standing still with the lance in hand. "I figured you would show up here as soon as you learned about the air raid. Now, join us for your welcome soirée! Care for a dance?"

Then Cornelia launched on the controls of her unit as she aimed the lance at the Gawain as the land spinners caused the unit to move violently forward.

Ashford Academy

"Is it true?" The bespectacled Yoshitaka Minami asked the Black Knight soldier in the corridor. "Ohgi's been shot!?"

The soldier reported quickly "Yes the medic's with him now."

"Was it the woman who did it?"

"We're not sure. Where searching for her as we speak!"

The soldier hurried off but Minami stopped for one more moment. "Wait! Don't tell anyone else about Ohgi it would rattle people. Just find the woman and bring her back here."

"Yes sir!" replied the soldier as he hurried off and a passing squad ran down the opposite corridor who had also been alerted about the situation as they too searched for the woman.

In the room of the student council room they heard the stammering of feet outside the room as the soldiers in panic searched for the Britannian woman. They sat there knowing they couldn't do anything and Suzaku hadn't been ordered into the battle and he'd refuse to break the rules. They faced the facts and the student council members knew that Britannia had lost here.

Area 11: Shinjuku Ghettos

The experimental subject smelled and breathed in the fresh air of freedom through his respirator as he hadn't taken it off along with the visor which both essentially hid his face. He stood in the middle of the broken and collapsing buildings of the 'eleven' population. Looking up at the sky he saw a personal transport vehicle, the young man looked in the direction it was heading, The Avalon, he noticed.

He knew the Avalon was an important strategic weapon that was to be needed to quell the rebellion so whoever's on that transport must be important. He looked up the two buildings he was in between, he jumped up and pushed his feet of one and then to the other hopping up as scaled the building. As he gained momentum he pushed with all the force he could he and ended exactly where he wanted high up in the air where he landed on top of the small plane.

The plane shook as it then corrected itself as the experimental subject stood on top where he then holding onto the top of the plane using his free hand carefully opened the pilot door. As a result the one unrestrained pilot was forced out due to the change in air pressure.

The man got in as his black hair swaying in the wind as he held onto the door, quickly he as he removed his pistol from its holster and shot the other pilot of the aircraft. Then he shutting the door the man checked the controls and saw that it was still heading in the direction of the Avalon and significantly reduced the speed on it.

Then he opened the door to small passenger area, what he saw was quite a surprise, it was child with ridiculous blonde hair that fell to the floor in a royal outfit with a black cape where the interior side of the cape was a luscious purple.

"Oh and who are you?" The child asked in a monotone voice.

"I have no name boy." The experiment replied.

"I see then, you may call me V.V" The child answered.

"V.V? Then you must know C.C, don't you?"

"Did you say C.C!?What do you know about her!?" The V.V asked in a surprised and anxious voice.

The experimental subject gave his answer with a smirk on his face, he raised the rifle and emptied the entire thirty round clip upon V.V. "You bear the same kind of name so you must be an immortal."

Then knowing it would a lengthy period of time for V.V recover from such heavy injuries he sat on the controls and set a course where the plane would crash into the ocean though by that time Zero would have taken the fleet however he before jumping off the plane he saw on the screen a disturbing set of orders.

To kidnap Nunally along with that he saw that the Naval Pacific Fleet had been deployed and would reach Area 11 in 72 hours. Well I guess I can use the Black Knights to help me, given my abilities they shouldn't be able to refuse, I'll just offer my services. I just have to wait for them establish command points.

With that the man jumped out of the plane as it was set on maximum speed for a crash course into the ocean in the middle of Britannia and Japan. As he had changed the course of the plane the experimental subject had ended up near the perimeter of the Tokyo Settlement which was in ruins like most of the abandoned areas in Japan.

Then the subject began to move away as he was in the area that would be overrun by the Black Knights and so he left and hid in a Japanese home for the time being as he knew it wouldn't be too long before Zero made his move.

Area 11: Britannian Government Bureau

"PRINCESS EUPHEMIA WILL BE AVENGED!" Cornelia shouted as she drove the lance at the immensely large Gawain KMF which with C.C's quick reflexes managed to dodge it quickly and Lelouch immediately fired the all the fingertip slash harkens of the right hand of the Gawain aiming it Cornelia who was too quick and dashed to the side so he waved the arm to the side and recalled the harkens with its usual whir.

Cornelia coming back in from the side for another attack struck the left leg of the Gawain causing it to lose balance as it began to fall on that collapsing leg. Cornelia took of once again and made distance so that she wouldn't take any damage.

As the Gawain recovered Cornelia from a distance brought up her assault rifle and began firing at the unit that C.C and Zero were in which began to shake rapidly. "What's wrong Zero?!" Cornelia shouted mocking Lelouch. The Gawain now taking damage was begin to weaken slightly but Lelouch quickly brought the keyboard and began quickly typing on it altering the settings of the situation.

"The specs on this thing are far superior to hers!" Lelouch said almost complaining that he was losing but he did what he had to do. Once the settings were inputted correctly in the course of a few seconds and the preview for the float unit came up Lelouch as quick as he could activated the float unit as the Gawain began to rise in the air.

However Cornelia's barrage didn't end there as she continued fire upon the Gawain as it rapidly began to gain altitude. "You're just a weakling!" Cornelia shouted mocking the rebel as she fired her slash harkens onto the Gawain. "I have you- I have you right where I want your life is now IN MY HANDS!" she shouted with a disturbing grin on her face.

Then the slash harkens pulled her Gloucestor up as it landed on the black thighs of the Gawain as it was on an angle in the air. "Cornelia!" Lelouch shouted in anger as Cornelia then pointed the assault rifle of her KMF directly at the cockpit though not before adding a few words. "THIS IS YOUR JUDGEMENT!"

Just as Cornelia was about to finish off her mortal enemy the left side of the cockpit she was pierced by a lance that was used by her royal guard. For some reason the radio managed to still splutter as he heard the voice of one of her most loyal subordinates. "Princess it's me Darlton" the pilot of the Gloucestor below radioed to his superior.

Cornelia's custom Gloucestor began to fall as gravity worked its way with everything and it fell violently as Cornelia coughed a few soft words out. "Why… Darlton… why?"

"Don't be afraid." The voice of Andreas Darlton spoke as his KMF remained the last throwing position as he spoke to his Princess. "I haven't come to kill you My Lady."

Lelouch in the Gawain relaxed as he had a triumphant look on his face accompanied with the victory smirk that the geass he used on Darlton had worked. "Well, he made it."

"I'm here to deliver you to Zero, Your Highness." His relaxed face said ever so casually in his frame with his hands on the cockpit and as the task had been completed the geass wore off Darlton as he immediately came to his senses and looked at his Princess' Gloucestor crash onto the ground into ruins with Cornelia expelled out of it sideways covered in cuts and bruises. "What have I done!?" the soldier said in horror. "Why, Princess?!"

The Gawain during the descent of the Cornelia's defeat had managed to readjust itself it properly in the air as it towered of the remains of Cornelia's famous Knightmare and Darlton who sat in his frame. Darlton looked up and saw the shoulder mounted Hadron Cannons open up. "Thank you Darlton." Zero said somewhat sarcastically.

The Hadron Cannon charged and rained the red and black streaks down upon Darlton who screamed his last words as he was vapourised by the Hadron Cannon. "PRINCEEEEEEEEEEESS!"

Lelouch sat in the cockpit as victory was here, all he now had to do was deliver Cornelia to the base in Ashford. He was tempted to use his geass on Cornelia at that moment but there was a time and place for that. "C.C take Cornelia and we'll deal with her at Ashford."

"Hmm I thought you'd use her geass here, it's the perfect opportunity isn't it?" C.C replied rather surprised at the development.

"No I'd rather do it safely in my own territory." Lelouch replied.

C.C not carrying on lowered the Gawain and Lelouch deactivated the float system as C.C then motioned the Gawain's hands and clasped Cornelia Li Britannia in between the two hands of the Gawain as if the hands were making the mouth of a crocodile and Cornelia was in its jaws. Lelouch then reactivated the float system by hitting a few buttons.

Then in front of him an explosion came from the edge of the back of the Bureau and up rose a large machine similar to Knightframe hovered in the air it was like a large orb covered in orange armour plating with it emphasised on the front making it appear somewhat as a hunting wall trophy, its shape would be described as half a sphere. It was armed with five green slash harkens with the point similar to lance end which was attached to the front on the sides apart from the upper side making the whole system look some kind of crest, this was the weapon system designed for the subject of Code-R, the Siegfried. Standing atop of it was a face Lelouch hadn't seen for a quite a while since the Battle of Narita.

"ALL HAIL BRITANNIA" Came the shout of the disgraced knight Jeremiah Gottawald standing on top of the Knight Giga Fortress. "Mr Zero? Can it really be? Oh, what luck! What fate! What evil fortune!" The former knight continued to ramble on as he appeared to be on a high just being in the presence of Zero.

"Tch." Lelouch gritted his teeth with a scowl on his face as he decided to mock the knight through the speaker system. "Is that you, Orange Boy?"

"Oh! Ooooooooooooh! I beseech you!" Orange continued enraged at the word orange and then Jeremiah's face taking another high clasped his hands together. "I'm begging you, please die"

"C.C take us to Ashford as…" Lelouch began in a panic

"Yes I can see where we need to go!" The witch interjected as she pulled on the controls as the Gawain began to ascend and hover backwards but Jeremiah descended into the machine with locks closing above him.

"I must rid the world of the Empire's enemies so…" Jeremiah began as the three thick wires or rather tubes were plugged into his back as his left eye began to surge as the interior of the machine began to light up orange. As the machine was connected to his nervous system he piloted it mentally. With the boosters attached to the back of the machine he let them unleash their potential as he rammed the Gawain straight through the Britannian Government Bureau.

"So…" Jeremiah finished his sentence as his enemy was in front of the Bureau as it swivelled around in an attempt to escape as Jeremiah pursued hot on their tails. "ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!" Jeremiah shouted once more as the Gawain began to escape.

"Oh what's this Zero? Trying to escape?" The former knight said talking to himself. "I think not!" With that he fired the three slash harkens that were on the bottom as they each raced toward the Gawain trying to beat one another. With C.C's adept piloting skills she saw the first one as it came in swerving from the left.

"Deactivate the float system" She told Lelouch who wasn't used to receiving orders as he always gave them out. The Gawain dropped like a stone as it avoided the first one harken which began to fall as it was recalled back. The second one came down from below and Lelouch without needing to be told immediately activated the float system as the Gawain ascended straight up and C.C swerved the Gawain to the left as the kraken missed and immediately whirred back.

The last lance like harken came from the right and they didn't have enough time to deactivate the float to drop like a stone and avoid it, C.C raised the Gawain pushing the float system to its limits as the harken came in and the great lance like tip clipped the right leg of the Gawain managing only to scratch it.

Then immediately pushing on the float systems limits C.C pushed it straight ahead trying to get back, she looked down at the Gawain's hands and saw that Cornelia was still alive and kicking in there as she saw the Viceroy's legs sticking out.

"We still have Cornelia" C.C said.

"Yes, I can see that." Lelouch said with hints of anger in it. "Turn as around and progress backwards, I'll fire the Hadron Cannons at him."

"But if we do that Cornelia might-" C.C started.

"It's a risk we'll have to take." Lelouch replied with resolve as he gripped his hands on the Hadron Cannon controls.

"As you wish" C.C said with as the Gawain swivelled around still retreating in the same direction Lelouch immediately adjusted the controls and let out bursts of the Hadron Cannon on to the incoming fortress, they missed but Jeremiah had to move to avoid them which gave the two rebels the advantage they needed as they accelerated ahead. Although the Siegfried was hot on their tails launching slash harkens repeatedly only to recall them as they were out of range but that still didn't stop Jeremiah from firing them anyways.

"Q1!" Lelouch said on his radio. "Do you read me, Q1!"

"Yes I'm here." Kallen replied.

"Your position is the closest to me and you have the most agile Knightmare." Lelouch said as he began handing out orders to her. "I have Cornelia, I am putting her down at point B34 I want you to take her to Ashford Academy. If you encounter any Britannian forces who try to take her back kill Cornelia!"

"Understood" Kallen replied and that was all Lelouch needed.

C.C lowered the Gawain down to the designated point and carefully placed Cornelia down as in a few moments as the Gawain accelerated back up and faced the oncoming enemy as they saw Kallen's dot on the map approaching quickly to take care of the situation at hand.

"Now since that's been dealt." Lelouch said to himself annoyed the cockpit. "We can deal with the task at hand. C.C ram the Gawain into Orange."

"Are you insane!?" C.C replied immediately.

"Just do it!"

C.C did as she was told as Jeremiah was surprised to his enemy face him as he cautiously moved his machine back so he wouldn't be rammed.

"It won't be necessary anymore C.C" Lelouch said

"Yes I see that." The Witch replied annoyed.

"Oh what's this Zero? Have you come to face me one on one?" Jeremiah asked with madness echoed in his voice.

"How about it? We'll settle this here and now, Orange." Lelouch said mocking him.

The word orange enraged Jeremiah as sent his machine flying forward launching all his slash harkens just as C.C did the same and Lelouch fired the Hadron Cannons.


Ok I know some of you might say Nina was OOC but meh I never liked her so doesn't matter and next chapter is where we will most likely see Lelouch's victory, either that or I'll get carried away again.

See you next time.
