Ch-1 The Meeting And The Unknown Knight
I had this idea stuck in my head and decided to get on a computer, and start working on it. Though I am going to try to improve my writing while working on this so reviews would help me, welp, enough of me wasting your time with this, hope you like it and fair warning the OC was needed to pilot him, even though one isn't really necessary for him, plus he won't be introduced until later in this chapter, so hope this story keeps you interested.
"Talking"/"Talking"
'Thoughts'
"Crap crap crap crap crap CRAP!" A person yelled out as he was being chased by four others, which looked like from the people from the Britannian Empire. Climbing a steel fence and turning a corner, the soldiers following suite, only to momentarily lose him as they see two other corners.
"Which one did the eleven go!" One of them asked, seeing as the person they were following seemed to be getting farther away as they were deciding where he went.
"Split up, we will find him easily if we do!" Another said, going towards one direction with another following him, and the other two going the opposite direction.
"...Oh thank god!" A voice rang out as, a trash can's lid moved a bit to see two brown eyes looking left and right, obviously checking his surroundings, as soon as he knew he was safe the person got out of the, conveniently , empty trash can.
"That was waaaay to close for comfort *Sigh* man that was close" The person said, moving towards another direction being extra careful to not be seen by other soldiers. This person was a young man, with brown hair that was medium length, Was seventeen years old, and was quite tall standing at 6'2, with glasses, wearing a grey plain shirt, with a white undershirt, blue jeans, with white socks and gray sport shoes, looking quite normal to some, but to others...
As he stopped running and started heading towards a destination he knew where to go, while doing so he sniffed his grey shirt, making sure he didn't smell from the trash can, as well as checking for any other mess he could have gotten. He nodded to himself while he headed to his destination, he was making sure to avoid other britannian snobs while doing so, if you are wondering what his reason for being chased was, he threw a rock at one of them easily giving that person a lump, but not for the sake of it but because they were threatening two young kids "just because" one of them said. That had pissed him off so as you can guess the chase happened after the rock was thrown.
"Alright almost there…*Sigh* I have got to find a way to defend myself," The young man told himself, as he continued to head towards his destination, he stopped as he saw those two young kids from before, 'They must have been following me as well, but from a distance.'
As the two kids ran towards him, he noticed how they both seem to be about the same height but seemed different in age. "Um...t-thanks for the help sir…" The older looking one said, while the other one nodded with a smile, "sorry you had to help us from those…jerks."
At this the young man smiled, 'Nice kids...' he thought as he nodded at them and told them it was no problem.
"Hey, can you tell us your name sir!" The other one asked, as the shy one looked towards him wanting to know the answer as well.
"Hehe...alright sure!" The young man said as the two kids looked forward for the answer, "My name is Leon, nice to meetcha." He said, while the two kids smiled as well, the shy one had a small smile but it was a grateful one all the same. "Alright head on home before anymore of those Britannian pricks show up." He told them, they nodded and with a wave of goodbye they were gone crossing a street and went on their way.
Leon's smile became smaller as he saw the kids disappear on a corner, and he continued on his way, as each step he took he became nervous, because he knows that he will be involved in something big soon but that is all he knows, after all that is all he was told from the guy that sent him here, as well as telling him he won't be given a second chance at this, sheesh no pressure...
Then he heard a big crash, saw it was a truck he immediately went to see what happened and... wait! "What the?!" Leon saw something appear, it looked blurry but he could definitely see the shape of a person from those little particles. Leon, then quickly grabbed his glasses, and proceeded to clean them with his shirt, and then quickly put them back on. Leon didn't see them, but he was sure he knew that he saw something near the truck's container. He proceeded to run towards the truck, all the while texting he was going to try to help those in the truck, and sending it to someone, immediately getting an answer, and quickly reading the message, he went faster and tried to see if there was anyone alive in front of the truck but could not see past the rubble. "Hey! Are you alright?!" Leon yelled but didn't hear a reply. "Damn...hm?" Leon saw the top part of the container the truck, it seemed open 'I can probably get to whoever is in the truck from there!'
Leon, climbed and then went inside the container, going down with a thud "Oh man, this container looks as big in the inside, hm? As he said that to himself, Leon saw a...something...that was in a sphere like shape, "Wow, what the heck is this?" He asked clearly not expecting an answer, he also saw something else, covered in a tarp something probably big, then he remembered why he went inside for, "Tch, what am I doing people could be hurt I got to-"
"Are you in there!" Leon heard a voice, it was definitely a female voice. Leon looked up and saw a black haired girl, wearing what looked like a school uniform, as Leon and the girl briefly made eye contact (Leon noticing she had violet eyes) the truck started to move and the young girl fell down as a result, Leon quickly trying to catch her, but failed as she landed on his back.
"Ow my back." Leon said as the girl seemed to have gotten up, and Leon proceeded to rub his back, picking up his glasses, seeing the girls hand, obviously trying to help him up, he took it, and with a nod said thanks while putting his glasses on.
"Sorry about that." The girl said, she looked Britannian but Leon could tell she was different somehow…
"Nah, it's alright, neither of us expected the truck to move so suddenly, so it's alright." Leon then looked where the front of the truck was and said, "I'm guessing you also wanted to see if whoever was in the truck was not injured?"
At that the girl nodded and said, "Yeah that's right, but I also saw someone running towards the truck, which was obviously you, then I saw you enter the inside of the container." Leon nodded at that. "I also came to try to help, but… I heard someone say something." She said looking to see if there was anyone else here, besides them two.
"It was probably me, I was talking to myself so…"Leon said, but the girl shook her head.
"No, the voice I heard was definitely feminine so…" She said, as she saw that it was just the two of them, and was confused on who talked to her.
"Really? Well, I was here for a short while and the only voice I heard was yours," Leon pointed out, then pointed behind him with his thumb, "Plus, the only things that were here first, were whatever is below that tarp and this weird sphere thing." As he said that, the girl obviously showed big surprise, from the way her face showed amazement. "I know, weird huh? Oh yeah!" Leon suddenly said, while the girl faced him again. "By the way my name is Leon what's yours, if you don't mind me asking?" He told her not wanting to seem rude, as well as showing his hand.
At this the young woman, shook Leon's hand and said, "Nice to meet you Leon, and thank you earlier for the help, my name is-"
"Stop the vehicle!" They both heard a voice say clearly outside of the container that surprised them easily. "Surrender now and get the chance to defend yourself in court! Surrender at once!" Then they heard bullets firing, Leon grabbed the young woman and led them behind the metallic sphere, hoping a bullet wouldn't hit them, plus the container constantly moving, didn't help their nervousness. "Give up now, or we will shoot to kill!" That just made it even worse.
"Damn! How are we going to get out of here?" Leon asked as he looked for a way out safely.
"I don't know, it'll definitely be tricky because if we try to jump out we would risk breaking our necks, or worse, getting shot at." She yelled out trying to see a way out as Leon, tries to climb the sphere, then they heard what sounded like a door opening and both of them tried their best to try to not be seen.
"Can you enter the subway through the Azabu route!" They heard a voice ask, belonging to a red haired young woman, who, what Leon was able to see, began climbing whatever was in the tarp.
"Kallen let's use it here, why not?" A male voice asked, obviously the one driving the truck and container.
"Because that would mean a bloodbath!" The girl, whose name was Kallen, yelled back. At the word bloodbath, Leon became nervous knowing if that is true and things go bad he may need to awaken him, and something is telling him he will.
Hearing the driver agree with her, Leon tried to see what the thing she was entering was, 'It looks like a...'
"I've seen her before." Leon heard his companion whisper, obviously trying not to get them caught here, he saw that she seemed to be trying to remember where she saw this Kallen.
Then Something came out from the tarp and went outside, which hit something then the back of the container opened and out came… a Red Glasgow. It then jumped out, now going to face the Britannian Army Helicopters.
Both Leon and his companion went towards the back to try to get off the container, but it then closed on them. "Damn! These guys are terrorists!" She yelled out, she then faced Leon, clearly becoming nervous after all their curiosity got them in this situation. "Any ideas?" She asked him, shaking his head at her.
"No, but I wish I did," He told her. "If we get caught in this thing they probably will-wow!" Leon tried to say but the truck made a sudden turn to the left, causing them to fall down. They slowly got up and both sat down, near the sphere.
"Tch, no cellphone reception," Leon faced his yet to know companion and saw her holding at what seemed to be a radio. "Judging by the darkness and road surface we are probably in the old subway lines.
Leon nodded "They must be trying to find an exit in the ghetto." She nodded and faced Leon,who seemed to be thinking of something, then he nodded, "Alright then, you're getting out of here." He said, surprising her greatly. "They won't try to harm you if gave them that radio from the terrorists," he told her pointing to it, "they will hopefully get you out safely."
"But what about-!" She tried to say, but Leon shook his head at her.
"I know that the same won't be said for me," he told her, looking at her with a smile. "They probably will accuse me of being one of the terrorists...but, I couldn't care less what would happen to me, he they sure as hell won't." He told her, with his smile still on his face. "Besides, I like to think that I helped one of the few friends I have made." At that she widened her eyes, what he said next made her feel guilt. "This might be sad but, heh you're the second friend I got,er if you know we weren't in this situation." He said scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.
She looked at him with wide eyes, but then she smiled at him and nodded her head, "I would like that Leon, knowing I have friend who would help me." She told him, and his smile got bigger.
"Awesome!" He yelled out standing up and fist pumping, then hearing giggling coming from his new friend, feeling his cheeks becoming red in embarrassment . "Heh, guess you can add, as well as easily making you laugh to my part huh?" He told her, while scratching his cheek. Her giggling increasing slightly, with Leon joining in laughing. With their laughter dying down Leon Joined her sitting back down and he sighed as his laughter was now gone, but his smile was still there. "Well...do you have any ideas to stop this thing, because...I got nothing…" He told her.
She shook her head sighing as well, in their predicament, she really was planning to get help from the military but she could not risk Leon getting hurt, despite him saying he was okay with it. Then the container shook violently, "Ugh-an accident or…!" Then she saw it was their chance to get out from the container. "Leon, are you okay?' She asked.
"Yeah I'm fine don't worry," he answered back reassuring her.
"Good, I think we can get out of here by climbing this thing." She told him.
"Good Idea, let me help you up-huh?" Leon stopped as he heard something.
"Leon?" She asked wondering what was wrong then she saw someone approaching them, fast! It was a britannian soldier
"Agh!" She heard Leon yell out in pain and what sounded like glass breaking.
"No!" She yelled out, as she saw the soldier pick him up by the scruff of his shirt.
"H-hey w-wait-ugh" Leon tried to say but the soldier wouldn't let him.
Something fell from the soldiers helmet and a female voice came out, "Enough senseless murder!" The female soldier yelled out.
"N-no listen I-!"
"Planning to use poison gas, don't play dumb with me!"
"Get off him!" The female soldier quickly jumped back, seeing a female britannian helping her companion up, giving him back his now cracked glasses. "We weren't here by our own choice!" She yelled at the female soldier. "And if that is poison gas, it was made in Britannia wasn't it!" How dare this soldier just accuse him like that! Just because he is an eleven, her hatred for the nation was slowly increasing even more.
Then the soldier looked surprise behind her helmet, "M-my god!" The soldier said softly which was only heard by herself.
"Mindless murder?" The student slowly said to her, "Then why don't you just obliviate Britannia!" She told her in anger. Meanwhile Leon put his glasses on, despite the right lense being broken they still were usable.
"L-Luluko?" The female soldier asked, recognition in her voice.
"Luluko?" Leon said, confusion on his face, then he figured it out "Oh! So that's your name!" He said as he looked at his new friend.
After he said that the female soldier took her helmet off, and Leon noticed, in surprise that she wasn't Britannian at all, with brown hair and green eyes. "It's me, Suki." She said with a smile.
As she said that, Luluko had recognition in her eyes as she knew exactly who this was. "Y-you became a Britannian soldier?" Luluko questioned her childhood friend.
"H-hey Luluko are you okay?" Leon said, 'By looks of it she doesn't like Britannia, at all...so seeing a friend of hers...huh' Leon saw something move, and saw that sphere object was slowly opening, 'Wait! Didn't she said there was poison gas in there! Shit!' "Hey! The sphere is opening!" As he yelled that out, a glowing light appeared, and the sphere's mechanism started to open it, Leon saw Suki put the mask of her helmet and got in the floor, Leon then turned his back on the sphere and covered his face with his shirt, and holding his breath.
As he heard the sounds of it opening, Leon turned to look behind him slightly, but what he saw was not gas but…"W-what the?" he said as he put his shirt down, greatly confused.
"Th-that's not poison gas…what is it?" Suki said as both she and Luluko looked on in confusion, as it was not poison gas that came out, but a green haired young woman.
Leon went towards her, to try to help her. "Tell me the truth Suki…"Leon heard Luluko question, as she came to his side to see the condition of the young woman, now seeing her face without that mask she had on, her head in Leon's knees "Poison Gas? This Girl?".
"It's what they told us in the briefing I swear." Suki said as she unzipped the bottom part of what seemed to be look closely to some sort of stray jacket. Then a light turned on behind Suki. They were Britannian Soldiers.
"Filthy Eleven." They heard who seemed to be the leader say with hate, however Leon could tell that was directed to him. "Just because you are an honorary Britannian, you think you can help one your damn kind? Hm, don't think that status will excuse you."
Suki towards the captain and she tried, "But sir, I was told it was poison gas!"
"Now you question my orders!" The Britannian captain yells at her.
All the while Luluko and Leon were watching from behind, with Leon still holding the unknown woman, and Luluko, "This is bad, a poisonous situation, which will pose a threat to Suki's superiors if its unleashed...' She then looked where Leon was, 'And Leon...these damn soldiers would probably kill him just because he was here, even if it was by accident.'
"However, due to your outstanding military achievements, I am going to be extremely lenient," The captain of the soldiers said, he then pulled out a pistol. "Private Kururugi take this and execute the terrorist." He said as Suki, Luluko, and Leon froze at those words.
"But their not terrorist their just civilians who got caught up in all this!" Suki tried to reason with him.
"Hm, the girl maybe, however…" As he said that he looked towards Leon, who was trying to keep calm as that soldier made eye contact with him. "Heh I am sure you can handle that, after all...didn't you swear loyalty and you life to Britannia."
At those words Luluko faced Leon, who was on his knees, his glasses hiding his eyes with a glare from the lights, but she could tell he would allow himself to be shoot at. 'No...damn you Britannian bastards...'
Suki looked behind her, towards Luluko and the japanese civilian, however when she Luluko she saw...anger...so much anger pointed towards the Britannian soldiers, and the civilian actually seemed ready to take the bullet…
"I won't do it." Suki said, which did not sit well to the captain.
"What…" The captain said with his anger rising.
"I won't do it, I won't shoot at a civilian," Suki said, facing both Luluko and Leon with a smile. "I'm afraid I can't follow your orders sir."
"Hm, very well." They heard the captain say, then a shot was heard. Leon and Luluko saw Suki fall down, while the captain held the same pistol that he was planning to make Suki shoot at Leon. "Well Schoolgirl, today was a bad day for you to cut class." Leon still holding on to the girl, looked as Suki fell on the concrete floor, hard, as well as the other soldier now showing their weapons. "Collect the girl, after you secured her, kill them both," He said but then looked at Leon, "Start with the Eleven first."
"Yes, milord." A chorus from the soldiers.
While all this happened, bleeding in the drivers seat, clearly close to fainting was the driver, who was able to hear everything from where he was, there were two trespassers that he and Kallen didn't notice, one who was a Britannian student, and a fellow native from Japan, 'I need to do something...' He then turned towards a picture, next to some switches, he started to use his good hand and said, "Death...to Britannia...long...live...Japan!" With the flick of a switch, the truck exploded with a big blast, that was able to distract the soldiers long enough to let Leon pick up the girl, while the girl started running suddenly towards a direction, with Leon and Luluko following after her.
Then a few moments as they kept running, they started hearing explosions and screams, which both Luluko and Leon knew what was happening. As they kept running, with explosions being heard outside, the green haired girl tripped, and Luluko stopped to take a breath, while Leon went to help the green haired girl up.
"What the hell are you!" Luluko yelled out, while Leon looked back at her with worry on his face. "This chaos is all your fault isn't it!" Luluko kept yelling while also taking deep breaths. "Not only that but...they killed Suki!" Leon helped the girl up, and went towards Luluko.
"Luluko...I'm...sorry..." Leon told her, causing her to look at him in surprise, "If only I wasn't there, then maybe it might have been different, and you wouldn't have to lose our friend…" He said as he looked down in shame.
With a sigh, Luluko went towards Leon, put her hands on his shoulders, "I don't blame you for this Leon," At her words he looked at her, even if you were not there, you and I both know they would have tried to kill me anyway." She told him, trying to reassure him. Leon nodded and sighed.
"Well we should keep moving, I think I know where this will lead us I just hope the soldiers don't know as well." Leon said as they started moving with Luluko and Leon running in front while the mysterious girl ran behind them, then they saw what looked like stairs and a way out.
"Alright, there is a way out we should- oh no." Leon suddenly stopped as he kept his head low, Luluko following his lead.
"What is it?" She asked as she saw Leon point with his head up those stairs, she crawled slowly, and with wide eyes saw why Leon stooped those same same soldiers from before, including the captain, were there shooting down civilians.
"Stay quiet and wait here." Luluko told the green hair girl while Leon went to see as well. They heard a child's cry and then bullets...Luluko closed her eyes, and Leon cringed as soon as it got quiet. Then a phone rang, which was Luluko's who quickly shut it off.
Unfortunately it was too late, the soldiers quickly grabbed the green haired girl, pushed Luluko towards a wall, and constantly punched Leon until they pushed him next to Luluko, blood coming from his mouth. "Hah, what an appropriate place for terrorist to meet their end."
"You bastards…" Luluko told them, helping Leon up, with a soft thanks Leo stood up.
"I'm impressed you made it this far," The captain said mostly Luluko, "but it is to be expected, you are a Britannian after all, hm?" The captain heard something break under him and saw that they were Leon's glasses, he then crushed them, "Although, I don't know why you decided to help this Eleven," He told her, "I could care less though, don't worry your death will be painless, he won't be so lucky." The captain then pulled out the same pistol, he used on Suki, and pointed it at Luluko.
As he began to pull the trigger, Leon stepped in front of Luluko to try to take the bullet, however… "She mustn't die!" A yell from the green haired girl, then silence, as her body went down. With wide eyes Luluko, and Leon went towards her, and saw blood starting to appear. Which made them know she was dying fast.
"You shot her!" Luluko said, as she saw her condition.
"Our orders were to bring her out alive, oh well," He said, not caring he killed the person they were looking for. "We'll tell our superiors that we found the terrorists hideout and we killed them all, that regrettably the hostage had already been tortured to death, what do you think schoolgirl?" He asked Luluko, who was now trembling.
'How could this be happening?' Luluko asked herself, 'First Suki is killed, then this girl, they will torture Leon to death ,and I will die, before I had a chance to do a single thing with my life, all gone in a flash,' She started to think about her sister Nunnally, 'Ugh! Nunnally!' She was brought out her musings, by the hand of the green haired girl who was holding her hand. But then…
She appeared somewhere else somehow floating, looking around to find out where she was. "You don't want it end here do you?" A voice spoke to Luluko.
"What?" Luluko asked the voice.
"You appear to have a reason for living." The voice pointed out.
"That girl...it's impossible…" Luluko could tell, not sure how but she knew it was that girls voice.
"If I grant you power, would you go on?" Her voice told Luluko, "I propose a deal, in exchange for this power, you must agree to make my one wish a come true, accept this contract and you accept its conditions, while living in the world of humans. You will live unlike any other, a different providence, a different time, a different life." She told Luluko as she began seeing visions. "The power of a king, will condemn you to a life of solitude, are you prepared for this?" She questioned as Luluko saw more visions and saw…
As soon as the vision ended Luluko, looked on with determination, "Yes! I hereby accept the terms of your contract!" With that she saw that she appeared back to the warehouse, the green haired girl where she was, when she was shot at, and Leon looking at the soldiers in anger. Luluko then got up and asked the soldiers, "Tell me, how would a Britannian who detests her own country live her life?" Which caused confusion towards the soldiers, and Leon looking at her in curiosity.
"Tch, are you some kind of radical?" The captain asked pointing his pistol at her, then looked on in confusion.
"What's wrong? Your opponent is just a schoolgirl, or have you finally realized?." She said, while covering her left eye. "The only ones you should kill are those who are prepared to be kill!" As she said that she uncovered her left eye.
'What...is that…huh?' As Leon asked himself, he turned back to the soldiers, and saw that they were frightened by her eyes, if how the soldiers leader's hand was shaking.
"W-what's happening here!" The Captain yelled.
"I Luluko Vi Britannia, command you, all of you. Die!" She yelled, with authority in her voice.
"Hehhehahahaha!" The captain started laughing insanely, "Happily your highness!" He then put the pistol next to his head, the other soldiers following suite, "Fire!" With that, the soldiers all went down, with some blood hitting both Leon and Luluko, who seemed to have snapped out of her reverie.
"W-what the hell…"Leon said, not sure what he saw, then he remembered how Luluko somehow made them kill themselves, all by telling them to. "L-Luluko...how...how did you…" Leon faced her, and saw resolve on her face.
"Well then…" She suddenly said.
"What?" Leon said, not sure where that came from. Luluko then started walking towards the body of the unknow girl, kneeling down her body. 'That girl...she must have something to do with what happened...but what?' He told himself.
Then the warehouse shook, then an explosion, as smoke then blinded them both as they heard something big nearing them, It was a Knightmare the same used by the Britannians.
"Damnit!" Leo said, as whoever was piloting it looked around, "I really, need his help right about now…" Leon said, Luluko looking at him as she heard that, and a female voice spoke to them.
"What happened here girl?" The voice said with authority, not shooting at them yet, obviously trying to get answers. "Why is a Britannian student in a place like this?" Not yet receiving any answers, making her lose her patience. "Are you deaf! Answer me!" She said firing bullets around them, as a warning.
"I order for you to come out!" Luluko yelled at the pilot, making Leon nervous hoping the pilot doesn't try to shoot them for her tone of voice.
'Ah man, I seriously did not expect this today...' Leon told himself as he pulled his own phone, which thankfully had not been broken when the soldiers were beating him. 'Come on, I need to hurry fast!' Leon said, while typing something while hiding his phone, noticing Luluko telling the pilot how she has a Duke as a father, and he was her bodyguard, while requesting a protection, he also noticed a slight smirk on her face. Leon quickly finished the message he wanted to sent, press a few buttons, and finally putting his phone back, while also raising his hands up, following Luluko's lead. 'Hope he gets here quickly! I don't know how long we can keep this up!'
"Keep both your hands up in the air! I'll take up your I.D." The female pilot said, as they finally saw her come out, with a pistol in hand, she was probably someone in a high position somehow.
"Now then," Luluko said, waiting a bit while the female soldier was walking towards them. "Hand your Knightmare over to me." She said, Leon noticing the female pilot putting her pistol away, and getting what looked like keys in her hand.
"Understood, the code number is XG21G2D4." With that she threw the keys toward Luluko, who caught them with ease.
"Got it." Luluko said as she quickly headed towards the knightmare, completely ignoring the female pilot, with Leon following after her. He took a small glance and noticed her eyes.
"They look the same as those soldiers…" Leon said quietly said.
"Leon hurry!" Luluko yelled out, as she got in the Knightmare now walking out of the warehouse.
"Right!" Leon told her, as he took another glance at the pilots eyes, then ran following after Luluko.
Meanwhile...somewhere in the Shinjuku ghetto
"So! Are we having a bad day!" A voice said waking Suki up instantly, she turned her head to the one who spoke, it was a male, wearing what looked like scientist would wear, with white hair, as well as seeing a woman next to him, wearing something similar but orange colored, she had indigo colored hair. "Well, it looks like you missed your chance to go to heaven Pvt. Kururugi." The white haired male told her.
"I did? Ugh…"Suki said as she had trouble getting up, noticing the bandages covering her chest and stomach. "Where…?" She tried to say but the scientist answered her.
"We are still in the Shinjuku ghetto."
"With Prince Clovis nearby, this is probably the safest place anywhere." The female scientist told her, while walking towards Suki, and showed her something that was on her hands, it was an old fashion watch. "This is what saved your life Ms. Suki." She told her, Suki instantly recognizing it.
"You're lucky it was under your protective suit, because that was what deflected the bullet." The male scientist told her, Suki noticing a crack on it.
"Is it a keepsake?" Asked the woman.
"Yeah very." Suki told her, grabbing the watch, looking at it. While she did that, the male scientist continued to speak.
"You elevens believe that gods live inside of everything, even objects, don't you?" He said, still talking, "I guess this was-" he was cut off by Suki.
"But what about Lulu-" Suki stopped not sure if she should tell about the tell about the mysterious girl, Luluko, or the civilian that was with them. "What's the latest in the situation?" She asked instead.
"It looks like the poison gas was released. Massive Eleven casualties have been reported." He answered her.
"No one caught the perpetrators yet." The woman finished.
"They haven't, huh, not yet?" Suki asked, but then the male scientist started again.
"Pvt. Kururugi how much experience do you have in piloting a knightmare frame?" He asked her, completely surprising Suki.
"Wha-but...there is no way a eleven could be made a Knight…" Suki said, but then the white haired man, showed her a keys from a Knightmare.
"Well supposing you could…" He said, Suki not believing what he is trying to tell her.
Until she and the two scientist went to a hangar, a Knightmare obviously being covered under a tarp. "Congratulations!" The white haired scientist said with glee in his voice, "The only one of its kind awaits you, once you take the controls of this big beauty everything will change, you and your world!"
"Whether you want it to or not." The female scientist told Suki, while Suki could tell it was indeed different from others…
Back with Luluko…
"Lulu? What in the world have you been doing? Where are you know" A female voice asked, from Luluko's phone, as she moved the Knightmare in an abandoned street, with the sounds of gunfire able to be heard all around her, despite it being quiet in the Knightmare. "If you keep cutting class you'll be held back." The girl told her.
"Are you near a tv?" Luluko asked, as she moved behind an abandoned building. "Sorry, but this is important." She said, while also checking her surroundings.
"Hang on, hey! Can I change the channel?" Luluko heard her ask someone. "To what?" She heard back.
"To the news," Luluko told her friend, "is there anything about Shinjuku?" She asked.
"News? Hm, let's see…there's nothing on, traffic restrictions?" Luluko heard her say.
"Why is it restricted?" She asked, wanting to know if they will say something about what is happening.
"I don't know, they aren't saying."
'I see…' Luluko thought. 'Once they finish everything off, they will release news that will favor the military…hm?' Luluko noticed her screen, and saw what looked like chess pieces and other things on the ground.
"Ohhhh, your gambling again aren't you?" Luluko heard her friend say, "I warned you more than once, how dangerous that is!"
"Yep you caught me," Luluko told her, with a smile on her face. "Tell my little sister that I will be home late tonight, would you? Thanks" She said as she hung up.
"Hm, they need to keep a lid on this information so it will be hard for them to call for reinforcements…" Luluko said, as she looked on the Knightmare's screen showing her position as well as others. "They will have to make due with the pieces they have on the board." She said, seeing the battlefield as a chessboard. "But, held here...and it will be tough to break through by myself...ugh if only Leon was able to get a Knightmare as well…and it will be hard finding refuge as well." She said, while lowering herself, then she saw an explosion from a helicopter, obviously caused by one of the terrorists. "I want payback for dragging Leon and I in your fight." She then tried the radio to contact the one in the red Glascow. "The west entrance, use the tracks to move to the west!" She told towards the radio.
"Who is this!" Luluko heard a female, who was most likely that red haired girl Kallen. "How do you know this code!" She heard Kallen demand.
"That doesn't matter!" Luko answered back. "If you want to win, your just going to have to trust me." After a while Luluko heard a response.
"Okay! What am I suppose to do now!"
"Since you trusted me, you are going to win." She told her knowing, what the Glascow was nearing. "Step on the train." Luluko told her.
"Gotcha!" She heard back.
"Alright, there you are…" Luluko said, as she fired one of the Sutherland's weaponry towards another that jumped.
"What's your name and unit?!" She heard a male voice ask her. "We are after the one armed glas-
Not really caring for what he had to say, she opened fire at it, and it retreated. However she shoot it on one of its legs, and it pointed its weapon on her, however the Glascow came back, and saw that the pilot ejected from his Knightmare.
"You saved me, but how did you get a hold of a Sutherl-huh where did she go?" Was what Luluko heard her say as, she retreated back so they did not see her.
Luluko knew that those other terrorist had probably joined up with the Glasgow rider by now, then contacted who was probably the leader's radio.
"Are you in charge?" She asked, waiting for a response.
"Uh yeah." She heard a male voice, most likely an adults.
"I present to you the cargo in that train over there." She told them. "They are tools for your victory. You want to use them, then follow my orders." With a smile she then told them more. "Woman in the Glascow!"
"Y-Yes!" She heard back.
"Stay where you are. Your units going to run decoy, you got that?" Luluko asked for confirmation.
"Understood."
"Energy filler status?" She asked wanting to know how the Glasgow is doing.
"About fifteen minutes worth!"
"Alright then, recharge it and in ten minutes I will contact you with your next instructions." With that she turned the radio off, and let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. "This wearing me out...regardless I need the termination to succeed...after all I'm betting my life in this game…" She said while looking at a chess piece she grabbed, it was the King piece.
"*Sigh* Leon where did you go?" She asked wondering where her new friend went off in a hurry.
Earlier…
"Hey! Luluko!" Leon yelled, as he suddenly stopped. Luluko stopped the Sutherland and faced Leon.
"What is it?" She asked him, confused on what he needed to say.
"You go on, I'm sure you need to do something important." He told her. Making Luluko have wide eyes, though Leon couldn't tell as she was inside the Knightmare.
"What are you-hey! Where are you going!" She told him, seeing Leon heading another direction.
"Don't worry about me, I just need to meet up with someone else who can help." He told her.
"But…"Luluko tried to say, knowing that there is a high chance of him getting killed out there.
"Trust me Luluko, I'll be fine and trust me, when we meet up you will be amazed, hehe, and I will finally be of some use with his help." He told her, trying to reassure her, which worked a bit, but she was still confused on who he was talking about.
"But who is he?!" Luluko yelled as Leon started moving to another direction.
"You'll know him when you see him!" He answered back, as he disappeared from Luluko's sight.
"*Sigh* There he goes...be safe idiot…" She said, with a smile.
With Leon…
Leon kept running until he was sure there were no worries of more soldiers or knightmares showing up. He stopped and went inside an abandoned building waiting…until…
Metal footsteps could be heard nearing him, but Leon wasn't worried, he knew who that was. With a grin he showed himself, looking up as he was covered in a big shadow. "Glad you could make it friend...we got work to do." He said towards what the cast the big shadow, mechanical green eyes glowing.
The present…
"Well...it is almost time so I suppose…" Luluko said, ready to give out orders to the terrorist group.
"Hey...Luluko!" A voice said, Luluka stopped, hearing a voice coming from the Sutherland's radio, instantly recognising the person's voice.
"Leon! You're alright!" Luluko said, glad that Leon was save, if how his voice sounded was any indication. "Where are you?!" She asked him.
"Look behind you." He said, which confused her, until she did, and what she saw made her drop the radio in amazement.
"Hehe, I told you you would be amazed didn't I." Leon told her over the radio. Luluko was still showing amazement, until she slowly started made a smile that got bigger and bigger, knowing that she won't have to worry about losing this battle.
After a while...
Luluko picked up the radio she used to contact the terrorists, and then started giving out orders. "P-1, can you move?" She asked their leader. "It operates the same as what you are used to." She told him.
"Can't you tell us who you are, at least your name!" The leader yelled at her.
"I can't do that." Luluko answered back. "What if these signals are being intercepted?" She told them. "Anyway,if Q-1 is on schedule, then two enemy Sutherlands will probably reach you at twenty three seconds." She then said the next part with conviction. "Shoot them through the wall."
"Are sure they will do it?" Leon asked her over the radio, knowing that these people won't easily trust her. He had moved to another position ready to protect Luluko should she be in trouble.
"Don't worry they will," Luluko told him, "They want to win so I know they will."
"Hm, yeah guess you're right." He told her.
Two britannian signals were lost, and Leon knew that they followed her orders. "Hm, see?" Luluko told him.
"Ha! Sure did!" Leon responded back.
With a laugh Luluko continued to talk, while holding the Knight piece in her hand "An I.D. can be a double edge sword," . With a smile Luluko continued her banter. "Besides, If the terrorists follow the orders I issue, my task in hand would surely be completed, we probably won't need to use him." She said.
"Hehe, well better safe than sorry." Leon told her. Causing Luluko to laugh a bit, before speaking to the radio again.
"P-1, P-4, P7," Luluko called them, "Move a hundred meters to the right, fire your slash harkens at three o'clock." She then called towards one of them, "P-5 you ready?" Knowing that, whoever that is, is having trouble trusting her.
"Wow, look at them go." Leon said, as he noticed Britannian knightmare signals being lost one by one.
"Hm, indeed." Luluko said, keeping focus on the battlefield as she gives out instructions, while moving the Tower piece. "R-2 fire anchor," another enemy signal lost, "B-7 use U.N. ordnance," she said, while moving the Rook piece, another signal lost, "N-group, continue your advance." She said moving the Knight piece, four enemy signals lost.
"Hahahaha, damn! Look at them go! Hahahaha!" Leon said, laughing at how the Britannian soldiers are easily losing their soldiers.
"Now then…"Luluko said, with a big smile, "The enemy has five options. Their move" Spinning the Queen piece in her hand.
"Wow, just...wow," Leon said, with disbelief in his voice, as he saw his map on one of his screens, "I may not be good with tactics, but that is just a dumb move on their part."
"Hah, indeed Leon," Luluko said, while putting the radio back to her ear. "You, Q-1, do you have an area map?" She asked the Glascow pilot.
"I have a map of the old town, but it has no current landmarks." Hearing her response, Luluko responded.
"It'll do. Mission number three now." She said, preparing them for the next phase. "Is everything prepared," She asked, seeing the forces getting closer, "Heh." With that she saw how the signal of the Glasgow disappeared. "With this I call check." She said, moving the King piece as she did so. After that, all of the enemy signals were lost.
"Hehehehe," Leon laughed then his laughter became louder. "HAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh man! Hahahaha, If only we could see the look on their faces!" Leon said, completely different from how he used to be when he meet Luluko, though she didn't really seem to care, as even she started to laugh maniacally.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! My plan worked didn't it!" She yelled out.
"Damn right it did! HAHAHAHAHA!" Leon told her, not slowing down on his laughter.
"I can do it! I can! I can defeat Britannia!" Luluko said a crazed look on her face.
Meanwhile back with Suki…
"Well, well, well, finally it would seem, that we will see you in action, Ms. Kururugi." Said the white haired scientist, whose full name is Lloyd Asplund, as Suki learned. "Are you preparing?" He asked her, with Suki nodding, as she started getting ready.
"I will be." Suki said, as she heard the new Knightmare getting prepared.
"Lancelot, ready to launch," A voice said, as the new Knightmare was now shown, "Releasing hatch, standby for activation, pallet extension, initiating." Almost fully prepared the Knightmare was almost prepared.
Suki was getting dressed, putting a white suit for combat with the new Knightmare, a voice talked to her, belonging to Lloyd's assistant, Cecile Croomy the indigo haired woman, "Did you read the manual?" She asked Suki.
"Pretty much," Suki answered her, zipping the suit up.
"Well done, you scored at the top in the simulator…" Now fully suited, the shoulder pads on her suit arranging themselves.
"Hey look…" Suki tried to say, "About what you told me earlier…"
"Huh? Um...it could be...but the probability is nearly zero," Cecile told her.
"But there is still a chance isn't there?" Suki continued on, as she saw the Knightmare now about to be fully shown.
"Yes I'm afraid that's true…" Cecile said, Suki now in front of the covered Knightmare. "Even so, you are not to do anything reckless, the new system is not outfitted with the ejection mechanism." Cecile warned her.
"Okay, I understand Ms. Cecile." Suki reassured her, now in front of the Knightmare, which was now revealed, "That's it?" Suki said, with amazement in her voice.
"Yes, the advance weapon developed by us, in the Advance Special Operation Corps. Lancelot. The world's first 7th generation Knightmare Frame" Now finally revealed, the Knightmare now known as Lancelot clearly showed it was a force to be reckoned with, with a white color on it, with a head that made it look like a persons, with gold like color with its chest, legs face, and arms, with what looked like a red gems on the Lancelot's chest, as well as showing frightening weaponry.
"Well, if you are ready Suki, shall we proceed with the initial startup?" Lloyd asked her, with Cecile and him in what looked like a communications room.
"Initial startup, now proceeding from phase twenty, equipping energy filler," Cecile said, helping with preparing the Lancelot.
"Confirming pre-start. Energy filler now at full output." A different voice said, "Thirty Seconds to reach critical voltage. Core luminous, shifting face. Yggdrasil Drive…"
"Devicer, setup," Cecile said, "Confirming entry of Devicer to Z-01, Individual I.D. registration, confirmed. Confirm establishment of man-machine interface" As Cecile said that, Suki put the key in and the lancelot began to start operating. "Yggdrasil resonance confirmed. Rejection response weak." Suki then put her hands on the Lancelot's controls. "Devicer stress response, all normal."
"So far it's going just like in the data." Lloyd said looking at the Lancelot and Suki's conditions.
"Status: all green. Status of backup tactical tank, authorized." A voce said, while suki the started typing something from the Lancelot. "Second conformation given." The lancelot the started to make small movements, then finally it was now ready. Lloyd and Cecile looking with anticipation.
"Lancelot…" Suki started, "activate M.E. boost."
"Lancelot, launch!" With that the Lancelot took off, heading towards the battlefield.
"Hahahaha! Running full throttle right out of the gate!" Lloyd said, the glee returning to his voice.
"Better than the manual!" Suki said as she head towards the fight. "With this I can-ugh…" Suki held her side as she flinched a bit at the pain. Suki then saw one of the enemies Sutherland's and she quickly took off the head making sure she didn't kill the person in it.
Back with Luluko and Leon…
"Hahaha, oh man, that was great...ah don't worry jeez," Leon said, as he finally seemed to relax, seemingly talking to himself, "Fine I'm sorry I-huh?" Leon said, as he saw one of the friendly signals got lost, "What the-?!"
"Hahahaha, another push and the checkpoint will fall," Luluko said with a smile, as she saw the area map, with her side winning.
"Hey! Luluko something's wrong!" Leon yelled towards the radio.
"What?" Luluko said, the smile gone from her face.
"This is B-Group, reporting enemy presence!" Someone said, giving Luluko a feeling of dread.
"Reinforcements?" She said with nervousness. "Well, real battle is different after all…" She put the radio back to her ear. "Status?" She asked, holding the King piece tightly on her hand.
"Everyone ejected! Took out four units in seconds flat!" Causing her eyes to widen.
"Enemy numbers?" She asked the feeling of dread becoming bigger.
"Just one! I think it's a new model, never seen anything like-aaaaahhh." Then radio static.
"What's happening out there!" Luluko yelled, then seeing various signals on her side becoming lost. She then saw what the Knightmare was, and saw it reflect bullets. "It can deflect bullets!"
"Damn! What do we do! Ishida! Ah!" Another voice said, it quickly becoming lost as well.
'Damn, useless so called terrorists!' Luluko thought, 'With all the resources they have. They were beaten with one unit…" She then saw how quickly and easily it despatch the others.
"Yes...I can do this…with Lancelot I can stop all this at once!" Suki said, not yet known to Leon and Luluko as the pilot for the Lancelot.
"Tch...N-4, N-5 hold there, when the rear units arrive surround that thing!" Luluko told the few Sutherlands facing the new Knightmare.
"Gotcha." One of them said, as he and his companion started firing at the white Knightmare. However they were both easily beaten. "We can't stop it!" The remaining pilot said, as his Sutherland's arm was sliced off, he used the two slash Hakans, but it was of no use. The pilot ejected as his Sutherland was destroyed.
"N-Units what is it!" Luluko asked, receiving only static, "What happened?" She asked herself, "Something I didn't foresee?!"
Leon was looking at his screen, seeing how quickly one Knightmare was quickly decimating Luluko's plan. "Damn, and it was going so well...how is Luluko holding?" Leon asked himself, hoping Luluko was okay, then turned back and saw P-1 lost as well, "Ugh, shit...
"P-1, what happened!" Luluko yelled at the radio, hearing P-1 yell, receiving nothing. 'Could it really be one unit?' Luluko asked herself, not expecting an answer.
"These readings are higher than predicted!" Cecile said in amazement.
"That's because our pilot is taking her job very seriously." Lloyd said with a smile.
In the battlezone, Suki continued defeating many of the enemy Knightmares. "I can stop all of the knightmares, then this battle is over…no matter what it takes, I have got to save Luluko as well as that girl and civilian." She then noticed another knightmare that was hiding behind rubble on a building and instantly went towards it, not knowing that was where Luluko was.
"Ugh, you're telling me this is what ruined my plan!" Luluko said, as the Lancelot started pushing Luluko's Sutherland.
"Are you the one who is in command!" Suki questioned, as she kept pushing the Knightmare.
"Nothing more than a pilot! How dare she!" While she said that, her Knightmare went down breaking floor by floor, until finally it stopped. "Ugh, no choice I have to get out of here!" Luluko then saw the white knightmare prepare a kick, which Luluko blocked, but still sent her back falling. "No!" Until the red Glasgow then tried to punch the Lancelot.
"Hey! I'm returning the favor!" Kallen said to the unknown pilot who was Luluko, who momentarily forgot about Kallen. Then Luluko saw another thing that calmed her nerves instantly.
"What the?!" Kellam said as she saw something that looked almost familiar. "Crap not another one!" With that Kallen ejected the Glasgow, and Suki became confused on why the Glasgow pilot would suddenly eject, after just one attack.
"Did she knew she was going to lose or-!" Suki said, but was suddenly dragged as it felt that something grabbed the Lancelot and threw them out. "What?!" As the Lancelot fell, it quickly got up. "What in the world was that!" Suki yelled looking around.
"Hey, might want to look behind you." A male voice said, and Suki quickly looked behind her ready to face the unknown enemy, expecting another Sutherland, but what she saw was not a Sutherland at all…
"What? You expected something like that Glasgow?" The voice said, as Suki saw what that pilot was in, it was bigger than the Lancelot, but had some similarities to it, this newcomer looked like a full fledge Knight Armor similar from the old times, with a knight's helmet with the visor, two spike like appendages, with green mechanical eyes like the Lancelots, red objects in its arms, chest, and its knees, as well as wearing a red cape on its back,as well as what looked like a lance on its back, but it didn't seem to have any Slash Harkens. "Well then let me introduce you...to the Knight Gundam" The person told her.
"What in the world?!" Cecile yelled out as she saw the new enemy, "What type of Knightmare Frame is that?!"
"Oh! A new Challenger!" Lloyd said in glee, as he saw this new enemy's appearance, "A fellow Knight it would seem! Oh a duel of honor, how exciting! I am sure the Lancelot will truly be tested by this, I just know it!" He continued, in insane glee, causing Cecile to look at him with wide eyes, seeing the anticipation in his eyes.
"W-what!" Cecile said, quite surprised that Lloyd actually was saying.
"Who are you!" Suki demanded. With the now named Knight Gundam shaking a finger at her.
"Sorry, can't do that…" The person said, "*Sigh* You know you really caused problems for my friend…"The person continued.
"Leon, thank you for the save!" Luluko said, and from inside the Knight Gundam, Leon responded to her.
"Hey, no problem, what are friends for," Leon told her, "Now go, and finish the rest of your plan."
"Right be careful, you saw how dangerous that Knightmare is." Luluko warned him, while moving away from the ensuing battle and towards her main destination. "Don't worry, I won't underestimate these two, careful out there alright? Leon out." As Leon disconnected their chat, the Knight Gundam had unsheathed its Knight Sword. Causing Suki to preparing for an attack. "Well then…" The Knight Gundam discarded its red cape, raising its shield. "En garde!"
With that, the Knight gundam went towards the Lancelot, using the booster in its back, "Ugh! Fast!" The Lancelot dodged an attack, sliding back in a fair distance then, used all four of its Slash Harken, "Take this!" The Knight Gundam dodge two of them, blocked one with its shield, and slashed one, making it unusable.
"Need to do better than that!" Leon said, as he continued his attack, slashing as the Lancelot used its own shield to block when it managed to hit it.
"It's weapon is strong!" Suki said, as she saw how much force this new Knightmare used on its weapon, "Well then take this!" Suki yelled as she took the Lancelot's VARIS Rifle, and started firing at the Knight Gunada, with it making a direct hit. "Got you!" She yelled as she the area they were was covered in smoke. However…
"Not bad...not bad at all…"A voice said causing Suki to widen her eyes. As the smoke cleared the Knight Gundam appeared, showing only scorch marks on where the Lancelot's rifle hit. "That's some damn impressive machinery there...I commend whoever build that." Leon said, honesty in his voice, "Though it may not look it, but you actually managed some damage on Knight Gundam." Leon told her, as the Knight Gundam's hand raised, what looked like runes appear. "Now my turn!" Then a beam came out, then another, and another.
"What!" Suki yelled, completely surprised how it shot those beams, she tried to dodge them, however she noticed that they started to following her. "How is that possible!"
"They won't stop until they hit something, so you might want to find something else for them to hit," Leon told her, "oh and fair warning, that shield of yours won't work so...yeah." He warned her, which was too late, as she tried to block one, but instead of deflecting it, the beam destroyed the Lancelot's shield.
"Dammit!" Suki said, as she started dodging the beams again.
"Ah! My beautiful creation!" Lloyd said, seeing the damage on the Lancelot.
"The Lancelot took high damage from that beam...how did that Knightmare manage such a thing without a rifle of its own?" She asked herself, while Lloyd continued to babble incoherent words.
"There! I can stop dodging now." Suki said, exiting from her cover appearing back on the field, with the Knight Gundam appeared a fair distance from the Lancelot, and Suki turned to it. "Why did you warn me? You could have just let me fend for myself, or attack me while I was distracted from the beams…" She saw the Knight Gundam's head shake, its mechanical eyes facing the Lancelot, Suki could have sweared she saw something in them…
"True, I could have done that," Leon answered her, "But that would be wrong, and would be insulting to my partner," he said, confusing Suki, "We are fighting with honor, despite all that has happened…" He continued drawing the Knight Sword, preparing to attack again. "Besides I am more of a close and personal kind a guy anyway, despite how crazy I get during battle." Leon told her, Suki seeing her opponent in a new light. "Well enough talk, draw your weapons fellow warrior!" He yelled out, causing Suki to become surprised, but then she started to smile.
"Very well!" Suki said, drawing the Lancelot's two Maser Vibration Swords, as they charged in a glowing light, the blades becoming a red colored as they finished charging. "I'm read-" Suki was going to say but then changed her words, "We are ready, prepare yourselves!" She yelled out, making Leon smile, knowing Knight Gundam was anticipating this fight as well.
"Alright then...GO!" Leon yelled as the Lancelot's M. clashed with the Knight Sword, bringing an exciting feeling towards Leon and Suki, who was enjoying this feeling.
'This feeling...it's exhilarating!' Suki thought to herself as she continued slashing and dodging the Knight Gundam, who was doing the same blocking the swords with its shield and sword, dashing left, right, back, and forth, with the Lancelot throwing a couple punches and kicks, as well as using its Slash Harkens. The Lancelot finally managed a direct hit with one of it's swords, causing a slash mark on the Knight Gundam's front armor, however it lost another slash harken in the process.
"Ha, nice hit, how much energy you got left Knight?" Leon asked, as he saw the remaining energy Knight Gundam had. "Alright, still enough to last a whole day." Confirming that everything was still good to go, Leon went back towards the fight, this time preparing to use the Knight Lance, "Heh, it wouldn't be fair if I didn't show you Knight Gundam's potential, so prepare yourself."
"Huh?" Suki asked, confused by his words, but then prepared for an attack. As Knight Gundam went back to the fight, sword in its hand. They continued to parry each others attacks, with Suki trying to block or dodging the Knight Lance hits, and its sword's slashes, which she was doing well she noticed that her energy reserves were now running on the backup reserves, 'Back up reserves already? Tch I need to end this quickly…or the Lancelot and I will be in big trouble' Suki told herself, knowing she can't eject due to the Lancelot's machinery.
"Gotcha!" Leon said as the Knight Lance went through the Lancelot's right shoulder, then cut off Lancelot's right arm clean off.
"Ah shit!" Suki cursed, as Lancelot dashed back seeing Lancelot's decapitated hand on the ground, "Oh no...I can't possibly fight him on equal terms now…" Suki said, as she saw the Knight Gundam, and its lance still drawn.
"Hah, gonna be tough fighting me now, huh? Leon said, seeing how much damage they caused it with two attacks.
"NOOOOOOOO! My precioussssss!" Lloyd yelled out, as he was on the ground, hitting the floor with his fist, with everyone around him looking at him with worry. While Cecile saw, how Suki was definitely in trouble.
"Im afraid to say that...the Lancelot...will need full repairs when it is done…" Cecile said, looking at the screen in worry.
"Oh well…"Lloyd suddenly said, which caused Cecile to look at him in shock, just a few seconds ago he was freaking out on his creation being damaged. "I suppose it is unavoidable…"
"But...but...how-!" Cecile tried to say, but was shushed by Lloyd as he continued to speak.
"True, while I am dying slowly on the inside, because of the damage done to my beautiful...beautiful...beautiful creation..." He said, as his voice became softer the more he talked about the Lancelot, he still continued. "I actually feel honored that the Lancelot actually faced such an amazing creation... actually damaged him, if by what the pilot said to her was true…" He pointed out Leon's earlier words. "Oh the things that it had, did you see how it fire those beams without a weapon of some kind? And its weaponry, it must be made of some strong materials to be able to withstand with the Lancelot's swords, and its speed, my goodness! This might be hard to believe but I believe that this pilot has yet to unlock his partner's full potential..." Lloyd said with a big smile on his face.
Cecile looked back to the Knight Gundam with wide eyes, "Yet to be at its full potential...?" She said wondering, if this enemy pilot truly had something with great potential, after all Lloyd, despite his personality, is a genius in Knightmares, after all he is the head of their division…
"Hm, prepare for Lancelot's retrieval…" Lloyd said, as he exited the area.
Suki was in big trouble and she knew it, instantly caught up with her, and pointed its sword at her, as she waited for an attack...but nothing happened. The Knight Gundam sheathed its sword now holding only its lance.
"Well...guess this is the final strike huh?" Leon told her, as Suki still didn't let her guard down, Lancelot holding its left sword to defend.
"Are you going to try to finish me now?" Suki told her opponent, seeing as he was preparing to only use the Lance, knowing whoever is piloting Knight Gundam had fought her in even terms.
"Hmmm…" Leon said, as he noticed the Lancelot's remaining weaponry. "It seems you still have enough to still fight, with those two remaining Slash Harkens, your left blade, and still got both feet on that Knightmare so I believe you can sti-Huh?" Leon began to tell her, until he stopped, causing Suki to look on in confusion. "I got a message...ah! From Luluko!" Leon said, as he now started listening to what she was saying.
"Leon? Leon! Can you hear me!" Luluko asked trying to get an answer.
"Luluko I hear you, loud and clear...are you done?" He asked knowing he the answer already.
"Yes, please pick me up so you can take us somewhere safe." Luluko said from inside a building, wearing a soldiers uniform, with the dead body of her now late step brother in his throne, finished with what she needed. "Also...thank you for helping me with this…" She said that last part softly.
Leon's eyes widen as he heard that, with a small smile he answered back. "Hey, I told you didn't I? You're my friend, heck I'm finally a bit useful so no worries!" His response giving Luluko a small smile.
"Yes, well...come quickly when you can…" She told him.
"Right! No worries I'll be there, wait for me." With that Leon had cut the message, Luluko putting the radio away while quickly leaving the area. Leon looked back at Suki, "Well I guess that is all for now," Suki listened as her opponent start to talk, "for a good farewell, witness one our attacks, and until we meet again!" With that Knight Gundam pointed its lance towards the sky, and lightning came down from the skies, hard.
The lightning hit the surrounding area, as well as the Lancelot, "How did it call down lightning like that! Ugh!" Suki could not say anymore, the electricity from the lightning started to fry the Lancelot's systems. After that the lightning stopped, and Suki momentarily losing consciousness. When she woke up a bit later she saw that, Lloyd, Cecile, and some medical trucks were outside. "Knight Gundam…" Suki said softly, with a smile "Yes, we will meet again, I am sure of it…"
Back with the Knight Gundam…
"You okay Luluko?" Leon asked, as Luluko was behind another seat that Knight Gundam thankfully had. "Seems that wasn;t easy to do…" he continued, Luluko telling him what she did.
"Yes, I am fine, thanks for your concern Leon." Luluko said with sincerity in her voice. "But somehow...I did it...I shot him…" Leon looked back at her, seeing how she looked at her hands.
"Listen Luluko, it's alright." Leon began to say, "You wanted answers and you got them from him, leading you to, the second prince Schneizel, and the second princess Cordelia, plus you couldn't risk any problems, so you will get better later on I am sure of it." Luluko looked where Leon was in the front, piloting Knight Gundam away from Shinjuku.
"Thank you...for still helping me…" 'Despite what I have done...' Luluko told him, Leon shook his head in amusement.
"Hey it's alright plus!" Leon said looking back at Luluko, "You saved lives as well so, that is something to be proud of no?" He asked back, gaining a small smile and a nod from her. "Hehe, there see thats better!" He told her then added, with honesty in his words, "You know, you should smile more often it makes you look beautiful." After he said that, he turned back towards Knight Gundam's screen, not noticing the blush that was on Luluko's face.
"Er...thank you…" She said softly, with a big smile, but he still heard her.
"You're welcome Luluko." He returned back, not looking away from the a while they finally reached a good hiding spot, close to Luluko's destination and a good place for Knight Gundam to hide, a place underground know only to Leon, and now Luluko as well. "This is good, watch your step." Leon told Luluko, who was the first to exit. "Good job partner, recharge until next time." Leon told Knight Gundam, then with a smile he exited as well.
"Alright, it is late but I can still return home safe." Luluko said, as Leon stretched out a bit.
"That's good." He told her, "Well guess, I will stay here and look for some work until we meet again I suppose." Scratching his cheek in thought, now sporting spare glasses he left in Knight Gundam. Turning back to Leon Luluko asked him in surprise.
"You don't have anywhere else to go?" Leon shook his head at her, then Luluko put a finger on her cheek, in thought. "Hm perhaps you could go to school with me?" She questioned.
"That would actually be nice, but…" Leon looked down on himself, still wearing his grey shirt which had blood spilled, which was the total opposite from Luluko. "I don't think they would allow me in, for...obvious reasons…" He said, but Luluko knew what he really meant.
"You don't have to worry I am friends with the one who leads my school so I think I can get you in easily..." Luluko told him, causing Leon to look at her in surprise.
"Wow, seriously! Hehe, man...who knew this would happen after one meeting huh?" Leon told her, then continued a grin on his face. "Ah well...I met you, and you gained a lot from that battle, but also lost a lot…" He said that last part, with a frown, Luluko doing the same. But then Leon smiled again, "Luluko Vi Britannia," He said in a loud voice, causing her to look at him, "I would gladly accept your help." Then he bowed to her, making Luluko smile, and then laugh, with Leon doing the same.
Well that is it for this chapter, please tell me how I did, so reviews are greatly appreciated, it took me a while to finish this...okay a long while...I was originally going to make this with less words, but I just kept typing and typing, until *bang* I got this. So thanks for reading this, and hopefully I can write better next, well Adios!
