Disclaimer: I don't own this series or any other series. I am just floating an idea. I am making no money, nor plan to, off this venture. If you think of suing me over this, then grow up. Ranma ½ belongs to Rumiko Takahashi. Code Geass belongs to Sunrise and Bandai. And reference to the Mobile Suit Gundam Series belongs to Yoshiyuki Tomino and Sunrise. Also I'm still a jobless man.

Prologue

The Knightmare they called Tallgeese

By: Kagewaki Hitomi

"There's a thin line between to laugh with and to laugh at."--Richard Pryor
Ranma Saotome was born on August 20, 1990 a.t.b. to a half-Japanese and half-Luxemburgian mother named Nodoka Khushrenada and a Japanese father Genma Saotome. It was at a young age that he lost his father. Him and his mother moved to a monastery in the mountains in the German countryside. His mother had taken a job teaching at a local school. His mother helped the priest at the local orphanage in the town.

The old priest at the orphanage and monastery taught Ranma the fundamentals of Catholicism and his favorite past time fencing. Ranma had made friends with one of the orphans named Henri La Flaga who was of French decent only a year younger then Ranma. He dreamed of joining the EU Military when he was old enough.

Ranma by the time he was 14 years old had already graduated from High School. It was during this time tat he changed his name to Treize Khushrenada. He had soon left the small town of Hohenschwangau on the Alpsee lake. He headed to the Holy Britannian Empire to attend college. His mother said she would stay there for a while long and had him promise to write her when he can.

While at Princeton University he studied Mechanical Engineering for make engines. Soon by the time he was 18 he had graduated the University with a masters in Engineering and soon joined the Britannian Military. He spent the last two years working his way up to Colonel. He also trained in the piloting of Kinightmare Frames that was something new.

In 2010 a.t.b. a great many events unfolded; first Empress Marianne Vi Britannia was killed by unknown assassin; Lelouch Vi Britannia, her son escaped nearly unscathed, but her daughter Nunnally Vi Britannia, paralyzed by bullet wounds on her legs, and went blind due to psychological trauma of witnessing the brutal murder of her mother. After Lelouch confrontation with the Emperor of Britannia about the murder of their mother, both, are then sent to Japan as political hostage.

It was soon after this that the war with the Indochinese Peninsula being conquered by Britannia and became Area 10. It was during this time that the island nation of Japan, which was originally neutral, decided to align its policy with Chinese Federation and EU's politics and apply economic pressure upon Britannia. An event that would soon be referred to as the Oriental Incident. Both the Chinese Federation and EU and their allies blockade the ports of Britannia, hoping to force negotiations. But only provoked a war. The Second Pacific War erupts.

He walked down a nice hall with plush carpet and marble columns. He soon stopped in front of to double doors, brought his hand up to knock on the door twice and waited for an answer. The man was Colonel Treize Khushrenada and was dressed in a standard Britannian Military Uniform. He had medium length slick back black hair and deep ice blue eyes. He soon heard "Come in" and opened the door walked in before closing it behind him. He went to kneel in front of the one who called him here.

"What can I do for you Crown Prince?" he asked in a deep gritty voice.

"I read you file Colonel. It says you have a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Is this correct?" the seated man asked.

"Yes, it is Crown Prince Odysseus, that is correct, but I don't get why I'm here."

"As I take it you haven't align yourself with anyone in the Royal family yet?"

"No, I haven't my lord."

"Then, I want you to work exclusively for me."

"My younger brother Schneizel has Kanon Maldini. I want you to work for me as a subordinate. In a new group I'm creating."

"I would be honored my lord."

"Good then please come with me." he said standing up from his chair.

Treize got up from kneeling and fallowed Odysseus to a bookshelf. The Prince pulled an unidentified green and blue book down. The bookshelf slid out to the front and then to the right. It revealed an elevator that was behind the shelf. They both walked to the elevator and Treize opened the door for Odysseus who entered and soon fallowed him in.

"Where we going, my lord?" he asked as Odysseus pushed a button. It then started to go down.

"We are going to a underground base. There is something I want to show you. It is something I been working on for five and a half years."

"My lord what would that be?" he asked.

"You'll just have to see for yourself, Colonel Khushrenada. It's an excellent surprise." he said as the elevator finally came to a stop.

The doors opened up into a large facility that was deep underground. Lab technicians were running around doing various task around the area. A middle age man walked to them as they steeped out of the elevator. He had short thinning hair and a pair of small glasses with a lab coat and bowed to Odysseus while eying Treize.

"Your highness. I did not know you were coming."

"I just came to see your progress Earl Haggard."

"Of course, your highness. But who is this?" he asked looking at Treize.

"This is Colonel Treize Khushrenada and will be the pilot of the new Knightmare you are creating."

"So, this will be the pilot. The controls are different from a normal Knightmare are you sure he can handle it?"

Odysseus was going to reply, but Treize beat him to it. He replied, "I'm sure I can handle this Knightmare."

"Let's hope. All right fallow me to the simulation."

Earl Haggard lead them threw the underground base, there were lab technicians running around them. They fallowed them for five minutes till they came to the control room over looking an hanger. The hanger lights were already on as the mechanics and crew put the finishing touches on the Knightmare.

"So, will it be ready in time?"

"Yes, your highness. It is ready and is complete. All we have to do is test it before it is ready for service."

"Good. So, have you thought of a final name of this Knightmare?"

"Yes, your highness. It's called 'Tallgeese'."

"What a good name. Do you have a simulation of it up and running?"

"Yes, your highness a mock cockpit with all the instruments to train the pilot."

"Treize as the pilot of this Knightmare I hope your ready. Cause I want you to pilot it in the upcoming war."

"The Conflict in Japan?"

"Yes, I'm putting my trust in you with this Knightmare. I hope my trust is not missed place."

He dropped to his knees and replied, "It won't be my lord."

Earl Haggard had lead Treize to the cockpit simulation close to the control room. The back was cut away and had a normal pilot's seat, with three flat screen monitors in front and two extra's on the side. A counsel in the middle of the three monitors with a bunch of buttons and various smaller screens. On the right and left side were two 90 degree angle joysticks.

"Get in Mr. Khushrenada." He replied handing him a com. "Put this in your and I'll give you instructions on what to do next. Okay?'

"Sure, Dr. Haggard." he commented before climbing in over the seat.

He sat down in the pilot's seat and buckled the belt around his waits first. He then reached over his left shoulder. He buckled it in the middle of his waist and did the same with the right side. Dr. Haggard had already walked back to the Control room. With the other members of his team. He looked at Odysseus as he got comfortable in his seat. He then asked, "Are you ready?"

"Yes, sir."

"Good."

"Then this is Colonel Treize Khushrenada and I'm ready to begin the simulation when you are Dr. Haggard."

"Colonel Treize you'll need to use the joysticks and throttle forward to go faster and pull back to go slower. The two button next to your right thumb is to use the Dober Gun. The other four buttons were your other four fingers are at are to control the hands and the Beam Saber when in use. The two foot petals are to control the feet to walk. Got it?"

"Roger that."

"All right then let's begin the simulation."

Treize ran threw the simulation for a good hour and a half doing it over and over again. Each time doing better then the last, till he could pilot it without sustaining any damage to his Knightmare. Dr. Haggard was soon ecstatic that his machine was going to be capable pilots hands and make it's international debut in a war no less. He had to tank Lord Odysseus for his support and backing.

"Very good Treize. You can come out and I'll give you more technical data on the machine."

"Got you."

He climbed out of the cockpit and was soon meet by Odysseus and Dr. Haggard as he stepped on the platform. Dr. Haggard the proceed to lead them threw the hanger again where the Tallgeese stood in all of it's glory. It was tall and pure white there was a huge gun on the right side and a shield attached to the left forearm. It's head was based off of the old Greek helmets.

"What the Model number?"

"The KMP-00MS1V."

"MS?"

"Yes, the full name is Knightmare Prototype-00Mobile Suit 1st Variation."

"And code named Tallgeese."

"Yes, and in eleven days will be it's first deployment."

"The accommodations?"

"For the pilot only; in a standard cockpit in the torso. It's dimensions are 17.4 meters tall."

He whistled and replied, "That bigger then a Knightmare."

"Yes. And the armor is Titanium alloy. The power plant is an Ultra Compact Fusion Reactor. The propulsion for the Tallgeese is a pair of rocket thrusters. It has sensors, but we haven't tested the range yet. And finally it's equipped with a 20 round Dober Gun, 2x Beam Saber, and a round shield."

"This is the most unique Knightmare I have ever seen."

"Yes, and that's why we have to get it out without drawing attention. With a field test in Alaska without anyone knowing. Colonel Khushrenada you will participate in The Battle of Japan when it starts August 20 on my behalf."

"Yes, Lord Odysseus."

"Now let's get something to eat."

"Yes, my lord."

"I have heard good thing about that fancy Italian Restaurant in the District. We need to talk some more."
