Gundam SEED: Legacy of the Black Knights
a.t.b. 2018
Above Mount Fuji, United States of Japan
Everywhere you look around the area of Japan's sacred mountain, you could see flashes of light crossing and cutting across the now cloudy and gray skies. Amid the flashes of red, yellow and orange cutting across there was an occasional blast of pink, lavender and lilac that cut even bigger into cloudy gray sky. A great battle was taking place for the fate of the entire world. The infamous Black Knights, contracted forces by the UFN, had joined forces with one of their sworn enemies, the Second Prince of Britannia, Schneizel el Britannia, to stop an even greater threat. Set with Mount Fuji and massive sky fortress, Damocles, at their backs the Black Knights struggled fiercely against a numerically superior foe. What was a much bigger threat for the UFN and the forces of Schneizel el Britannia you ask? Why it was the founder and former leader of the Black Knights and now 99th Emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire, Lelouch vi Britannia. For one Knightmare Frame pilot in particular, this battle shouldn't have started in the first place. All she wanted was to free her homeland from the control of the Holy Britannian Empire and give her people back their identity as 'Japanese' instead of being referred to as mere Numbers as the Britannians had done to all of their conquered enemies.
For Kallen Kōzuki, that dream of freedom came true for her and her people, despite being a half-blooded Japanese resident of Japan. Unfortunately for the fiery red-haired pilot of the prototype ninth-generation Knightmare Frame, Guren S.E.I.T.E.N Eight Elements, she and her comrades got more then what they bargained for when they allowed the current emperor become their leader two years ago. They asked him to become their leader and lead them into a revolution against a technological and numerically superior foe. Lelouch vi Britannia, had gone under the guise as Zero and set up the Black Knights as an organization fighting not just for the freedom of the Elevens, but for those who were brutally oppressed wherever tyranny and oppression were found. Despite the success, Lelouch was eventually found out to be a Britannian prince and was forced to flee after his subordinates turned on him. Kallen shook all of those thoughts out of her mind as she had one goal and one goal only… to kill the 99th Emperor of Britannia and avenge of the deaths that were caused by Lelouch's actions and cold-hearted decisions
"Damn you Lelouch," Kallen snarled as she tore through a number of Britannian Knightmare Frames in her way. "Because of you… we lost good people and you had to become so cold-hearted and cruel."
Finally breaking through the enemy Knightmare Frames, Kallen spotted her primary target the Shinkirō being escorted by other grunt Knightmare Frames and the Lancelot Albion. Preparing the make the final attack, Kallen screamed towards the Shinkirō and Lancelot. Unknown to Kallen, the UFN's 'ally' had just fired a very destructive F.L.E.I.J.A warhead and it was screaming towards it's intended target regardless if friend or foe was in it's way.
"Kallen, get out of there!" called out Kanami Ohgi.
However the warning came a little too late as Kallen broke off her pursuit and tried to flee. However, right before the warhead could detonate, a solar flare happened to streak across the solar system and caused a premature detonation of the F.L.E.I.J.A and Lelouch's countermeasure engulfing the most of the battlefield in bright emerald green light first swallowing Kallen, Lelouch and his escorts and the Avalon. As Kallen and the Guren S.E.I.T.E.N Eight Elements was swallowed up by the light, she closed her eyes as she felt as if she was going to join her brother Naoto.
C.E. 71
Earth Alliance Headquarters JOSH-A
Alaska, Atlantic Federation
Things for the Earth Forces weren't looking so good as they tried to defend their prized and supposedly heavily defended headquarters. Their opponents, despite having a slightly smaller attack force, was technologically superior, better trained and better lead by their commanders. It was only a matter of time before they fell to their technologically superior foes of ZAFT. Among the defenders was one ship that had faced overwhelming odds and these technologically superior foes and came out on top. It was a lone white legged ship that had evaded every trap and ambush set before them. Unfortunately for the crew of this infamous ship, the Archangel, their superiors had left them to die because they hadn't carried out with ethos of Blue Cosmos. On board the Archangel, the crew was fighting desperately for what they thought was the most important battle for the Earth Forces.
"The Oleg has been sunk," reported Jackie Tonomura, the Archangel's radar operator reported.
"Move to port," ordered Murrue Ramius, captain of the Archangel. "We'll fill in the Oleg's space in the line.
The Archangel moved to the left to fill in the space that was empty from the mentioned ship being sunk by the attacking ZAFT forces. As the Archangel moved to fill in space left behind by the Oleg, a bright green flash of light briefly blinded everyone on the battlefield.
Also from a safe distance, a certain masked white coat ZAFT commander was overseeing the deployment of the Earth Forces defenses and analyzing it. Like most everyone, he too was temporarily blinded by the green flash of light. Once the flash of light had ended, he continued to analyze the battle and made his deductions.
"So they're sacrificing the Eurasian Forces and Legged ship," Rau Le Creuset summarized as he smirked to himself. "Sometimes the Earth Forces' plans can be quite entertaining. I sincerely hope that the legged ship makes it through."
"Uh... what?" asked Kallen as she opened her eyes and saw that she wasn't dead, but in the middle of another battle. "I'm not dead? But how? I was caught in the blast of that F.L.E.I.J.A and then…"
"What kind of mobile suit is that?" asked a GINN pilot as Kallen could hear them talking. "It looks really puny and a piece of crap."
"Who gives a shit? Take that thing out quick," replied the pilot of the DINN next to the GINN, flying on Guul sub-flight lifter. "Kill that damn Natural!"
"So you think my Knightmare is a piece of crap, do you?" Kallen asked both ZAFT pilots as she was pissed. "Time to show you not to underestimate me. Whoever the hell you are."
Kallen readied the Guren S.E.I.T.E.N Eight Elements and let out an intimidating pulse of red light then gracefully charged at both ZAFT pilots without so much as letting them get the chance to shoot first. The Guren's first victim was the DINN pilot who had audacity to call her a damn Natural. The Guren bore a hole straight through the cockpit of the DINN, killing the pilot and mobile suit.
"Holy shit! You killed Kenny!" exclaimed the GINN pilot. "Damn you! You damn Natural!"
"Seitzer! Get out of there!" exclaimed a nearby ZuOOT pilot.
"Like hell I will!" snarled the GINN pilot. "He took out Kenny in one attack. How the fuck did something so small take out a DINN in one attack?!"
"You're next you damn elitist!" Kallen shouted as she charged at the GINN.
"You damn NATURAL!" the GINN pilot shouted before Kallen had her Guren's claw set on his cockpit.
"Send a postcard," Kallen said with venom in her voice as she used the Radiant Wave Surger on the GINN's cockpit despite the massive size compared to her Knightmare.
The GINN pilot screamed as he was being boiled alive from the searing heat of the Radiant Wave Surger. Within a minute or two, the pilot was dead and the GINN had been taken out of action without a functioning cockpit. Once Kallen was finished, she proceeded to fight her way through ZAFT pilots who thought she was with the Earth Forces. It didn't take long for the crew of the Archangel to take notice of the Guren S.E.I.T.E.N Eight Elements as it was devastating the ZAFT forces.
"Captain Ramius, we've got an unknown mobile suit that's on the battlefield," reported Sai Argyle. "Checking library… not listed."
"Well, whoever they are, they're certainly not friends with ZAFT considering that they're tearing through them like hot knife on butter," observed the Archangel's pilot, Arnold Neumann.
"Captain, I have a visual on the unknown mobile suit," reported Miriallia Haw as she brought up the visual and saw the small Guren punching a hole through a purple- armored DINN and then all of a sudden graze a gray-armored DINN as it was passing through the battlefield.
"It looks small," said Murrue as she noticed the size the Guren S.E.I.T.E.N Eight Elements.
"Not to mention it's taking on mobile suits that are at least three… four times it's size," added Jackie Tonomura.
'Damn, I used up too much energy on that last Knightmare,' thought Kallen as she saw her energy filler deplete quickly. "Need to find someplace to recharge and maybe get some answers as to where I'm at and how I got here."
After searching for a few minutes, Kallen saw the Archangel and began heading towards it.
"Might as well introduce myself," Kallen said to herself before turning on the COM. "To the unknown ship, my name is Kallen Kōzuki and I need a place to land and recharge my Knightmare. Please respond."
"We hear you Miss Kōzuki," replied the Archangel's captain. "I am Murrue Ramius, captain of the Archangel. Your request to land and recharge is granted. But take note that any hostile intentions will be dealt with severely."
"Understood Captain Ramius," acknowledged Kallen as she guided her Knightmare into the damaged port-side hull.
"Mechanics, prepare to receive an unknown machine for recharge and possible resupply," Murrue said over a phone to the mechanics of the ship.
"Captain, we've got an incoming aircraft," Miriallia reported as she spotted a damaged fighter coming towards the Archangel. "It looks like it's damaged."
"Is it going to try and make a landing?" asked a bewildered Murrue.
"But that's crazy," replied Arnold.
"Has the unknown mobile suit landed in the hangar?" Murrue asked Miriallia.
"Yes ma'am," answered Miriallia. "The mechanics started recharging it as soon as it reached an available berth."
"Deck crew, some nut in an aircraft is trying to make a landing," Murrue said to the mechanics over the same phone. "Take cover!"
After a harrowing escape with only a handful of survivors from the Eurasian Federation and about half of the fighting strength of ZAFT, it was time for some explanations from Kallen and respectively from Murrue and Mu La Flaga. During flight from Alaska, one of Archangel's crew members returned with a brand spanking new mobile suit that was stolen with help from Lacus Clyne and her father. Even this crew member, Kira Yamato, was interested in Kallen's Guren S.E.I.T.E.N Eight Elements. Once explanations began, the captain and Commander La Flaga began discussing their next move.
"This is really turning out to be all sorts of weird things," Mu said to Murrue. "First that Kallen Kōzuki girl shows up in that… Knightmare machine she calls it. Then we find the Blitz and it's pilot somehow on our ship"
"Well, at least our fighting strength is slightly better then just having the Buster and Freedom," Murrue said softly before taking a drink from the cup of coffee. "But I doubt the Buster's pilot will fight with us considering that we're still wearing our Earth Alliance uniforms and he's still ZAFT."
"Think maybe hitting Panama would be a good way to see if he and the Blitz's pilot would see we're not their enemies?" Mu asked Murrue.
"Considering that the entire main force is there would be asking for a death sentence for us," answered Murrue before an alarm went off.
"All hands level one battle stations!" Sai Argyle called out over the COM. "We have an unknown ship that just appeared out of a green flash similar to how the Guren S.E.I.T.E.N Eight Elements arrived."
"What's going on Crewman Argyle?" Murrue asked Sai.
"An unknown ship has apparently appeared from a similar green flash that Miss Kōzuki came out of," reported Sai. "Miss Kōzuki has already gone down to the hangar and boarded her mobile suit as she recognized it immediately."
"And where is Miss Kōzuki now?" Mu asked Sai.
"Captain, I've Miss Kōzuki asking for permission to launch and engage the unknown ship," Miriallia reported to Murrue.
"Miss Kōzuki, do you know what that ship is?" Murrue asked Kallen as she opened a COM to the pilot of the Guren S.E.I.T.E.N Eight Elements.
"Yes, that's the Avalon," answered Kallen. "It's the command ship belonging to Emperor Lelouch vi Britannia, the 99th emperor of Britannia as well as the Camelot Corps's floating research facility."
"Calling to the unknown ship, I am Lelouch vi Britannia, in command of the flagship Avalon," the person on the other line called to the Archangel and her crew. "Unidentified ship please respond over."
"Britannian flagship, Avalon, this is Murrue Ramius, captain of the now renegade Earth Alliance ship Archangel," Murrue said to the other person. "We hear you."
"I see, so you were abandoned and left to die by your superiors in Alaska," summarized Lelouch as he and and his Knight, Suzaku Kururugi and Lloyd Apslund were on board the Archangel and in the briefing room with Murrue, Mu, Kira and Kallen in her Black Knights uniform. "Sounds to me that the old Britannian philosophy is strong here."
"Huh? What do you mean by 'Old Britannian philosophy'?" Mu asked Lelouch.
"The previous emperor of Britannia, Charles zi Britannia, believed that the strong devoured those who were weak and that the Britannians were free to feast on riches, wealth and even flesh," Kallen explained as she kept a wary eye on Lelouch and Suzaku should they try to take over the Archangel for themselves.
"And in the end, his philosophy was dismantled and Lelouch destroyed Britannian culture once he ascended the throne," added Suzaku, the Knight of Zero.
"You think that's what the Earth Forces believe in?" asked a confounded Kira Yamato. "That they can just take whatever want and do as they please?"
"Let me ask you, how many of your Earth Forces soldiers were fighting to defend your Alaska base?" Lelouch asked Murrue and Mu.
"I dunno, maybe six… seven thousand maybe no more than ten," answered Mu as he threw out a number.
"And how many of these… ZAFT soldiers were there?" asked Lelouch.
"Maybe about half of what we had to defend JOSH-A," Mu answered Lelouch. "But they had mobile suits and were technologically superior to our forces. That was until I learned there was a Cyclops System underneath Headquarters."
"Oh? And what does this Cyclops System do, by chance?" asked Lloyd Asplund, head of Camelot Corps.
"It's a microwave weapon that's used as a self-destruct plan for the Earth Forces," explained Mu. "But it seems as if the Neutron Jammers intensified the effect of the Cyclops to make it more lethal."
"My, my, this Earth Forces seems to be quite technologically advanced themselves," commented Lloyd.
"If that were the case, then the PLANTS and every Coordinator would needlessly be slaughtered and the Earth would run red with blood," Kira said aloud.
"What are your options?" Lelouch asked Murrue and Mu.
"Huh? The captain wants to speak to Dearka and I?" Nicol Almafi asked Miriallia as she let him and the Buster Gundam's pilot, Dearka Elsman out of their cells.
"If they're wanting us to join the Earth Forces, then they can forget it," snarked Dearka.
"You're an idiot," Miriallia said to Dearka as she smacked him upside his head. "For the record, we deserted the Earth Forces after barely escaping from JOSH-A with our lives."
"What do you mean by that?" asked Dearka as he rubbed the back of his head.
"The Atlantic Federation command left us and the Eurasians to die just to lure your ZAFT buddies in to try and capture JOSH-A and wiped out more then half their fighting strength," Miriallia answered Dearka, much to the horror of both ZAFT Reds. "We escaped thanks to the help one of our pilots helping us escape. The captain and Commander La Flaga will fill you two in."
"Huh? You wanna attack Panama?!" asked a dumbfounded Dearka after Captain Ramius and Commander La Flaga laid out the plan. "As much as I'd like to tear the Earth Forces a new one, this seems kinda… impossible."
"Quite the opposite Pilot Dearka Elsman," Lelouch said to Dearka. "We know that ZAFT will want to strike back at the Earth Forces and strike back soon. The timing of our attack has be precise and earlier before ZAFT launches their attack."
"But you've got a problem," Nicol said to Lelouch. "It's highly unlikely that ZAFT will allow this ship join in their attack. They're more then likely to either shoot us in back while we attack Panama or watch us from the sidelines and finish off the survivors."
"You bring valid points Pilot Almafi," Lelouch said to Nicol calmly. "Yet we have something that they don't have."
"Oh? Do tell," Dearka said in a mocking tone.
"The Guren S.E.I.T.E.N Eight Elements, Suzaku's Lancelot Albion and my Shinkirō all have technology that ZAFT doesn't have," explained Lelouch. "Plus the Avalon has a shielding and float system that's unfamiliar here."
"You think they'll try to capture them or at least analyze them," summarized Nicol as he seemed to catch on to Lelouch's thinking.
"That and there's also the possibility that they'll play nice with us provided we hand over some our prizes to them in good faith," added Lelouch.
"Prizes?" asked a confused Dearka. "What prizes?"
"We've got reason to believe that since the main force was sent to Panama, the Earth Forces' new mass production models might be at Porta Panama," Murrue answered Dearka, piquing up his interest.
"And we're gonna help ourselves to some of those new mass production models," added Mu. "Along with crippling the mass driver in the process."
"What the hell?" asked Dearka before forming a smirk on his face. "Pencil me in. I'm up for tearing the Earth Forces a new one."
"There's also the possibility that we can get you a small upgrade like say a beam saber or two to increase the chance of your survivability in battle," added Murrue. "Just in case you have to engage an opponent up close in close quarters combat."
"She's right about that Dearka," Nicol said to his friend. "You could use getting a beam saber or two."
"Are you in as well…?" Mu asked Nicol.
"Yes, I'm in as well," answered Nicol as he gave a slight nod.
"You can count on me as well," Kallen said as well. "Like Ohgi said one time, 'People's lives aren't just pieces on a chessboard.'"
As Kallen said that, she glared at Lelouch as she still hadn't forgiven him for the deaths of her comrades. Lelouch said nothing and discreetly left the briefing room with Suzaku and Lloyd. As they returned to their aircraft, the three of them took their time a took self-guided tour of the Archangel itself trying to familiarize themselves with the ship before Kallen spotted them and forced them to return to the Avalon.
"I was able to get their database on the machines they've encountered since the Archangel's deployment," Lloyd informed Lelouch. "Unfortunately, we're going to have to upgrade the Avalon and maybe even settle for acquiring some of the Earth Forces' new machines, those… mobile suits as they're called here."
"We should consider giving the Archangel some of our technology," Lelouch said to Lloyd. "Do you think it would be possible to give them the Blaze Luminous shield technology?"
"It is possible, your Excellency," answered Lloyd. "Normally I would have a problem with it since in their case, this ship requires an enormous amount of power to use the Blaze Luminous. But the Archangel seems to have the adequate power source needed to use the Blaze Luminous."
"Then get Nina and some your staff and return to the Archangel with the necessary equipment to begin the installation of the Blaze Luminous," Lelouch ordered Lloyd.
"Would it not be better to wait until after our attack on Panama, my lord?" Lloyd asked Lelouch. "It would be more logical to wait until then. And hopefully these ZAFT fellows will be civil enough to allow us to leave without having to squabble with them."
"You're right," agreed Lelouch. "Then let's get the plan in motion and make sure that the tasks at hand are cleared. We'll go ahead of the Archangel to scout out Porta Panama."
At the last known Earth Alliance controlled mass driver, a group of individuals were at work infiltrating the last supposedly heavily defended location in the Earth Forces' possession. If Panama fell, then the Earth Forces wouldn't be able to take the fight into space. However, those issues did not bother a small group of individuals that were infiltrating Porta Panama. These people were already considered as a threat to the Earth Forces, especially their leader. She was 21 year old Yui Takamura, of Takamura noble family before Japan was assimilated into the Republic of East Asia by force. With her were other individuals as well. Two were considered to be twins and from Russia in the Eurasian Federation, the shorter young woman in the group was from Nepal in the neutral Equatorial Union, the tallest of them was also from the Eurasian Federation like the two 'twins,' but he was from the area that used to be Italy and a petite blonde woman hailed from the Kingdom of Scandinavia. The last member of the group was from what used to be the United States of America in the Atlantic Federation. Each member of this group were each considered to be either criminals or rebels and had a price on their heads, mostly Yui Takamura.
"Man, I really hate these stupid Earth Alliance uniforms," complained the young Nepalese woman, Tarisa Manandal. "Pisses me off just to even look at them."
"Quiet," ordered Cryska Barchenowa, the older of the self-proclaimed 'Scarlet Twins.'
"We don't like having to wear them either, Tarisa ," the Italian member, Valerio Giacosa, said with his thick Italian accent. "But we got no choice. Otherwise Alliance pigs will be able to pick us off one by one."
"So… 'Princess'," began the American member, Yuuya Bridges, asked Yui in a sarcastic tone. "You really think that Earth Forces' new mass production model mobile suits are here?"
"If I didn't think they'd be here, I wouldn't have bothered to even consider coming to Porta Panama," Yui answered calmly ignoring Yuuya's jab as they entered a random hangar and discovering what they were looking for. "Well, it looks like the Intel was solid."
Valerio let off whistle of amazement at the sight of the Earth Forces' new mass production mobile suits. According to the Intel the small group got, the new mass production mobile suits were supposed to be a striped down version of the already famous Strike Gundam that had been lost in combat against one of the four stolen Heliopolis Gundams. For the small band of rebels the new mobile suits weren't much, but at least they would be able to try and put up a fight against their common foe who controlled the Earth Forces.
"So what do we do now Princess?" Valerio asked Yui as he and Yuuya were quick to use her nickname in reference to her former place of stature.
"Everyone, pick a mobile suit and get it up and running," Yui ordered the small group. "We need to be ready."
"Considering that ZAFT is bound to attack this place, I would have to agree with that," replied a glasses wearing blonde-haired soldier as he adjusted them. "I see you're all burning the midnight oil. Shows that you've got great initiative and I have no doubt that Command will look on that with favor."
"Oh… I didn't realize you were up," Yui said to the blonde-haired man. "I'm sorry sir. Um, we seemed to have forgotten your name sir. Could tell us that again?"
Tarisa looked to Yui with a dumbfounded look at first until Cryska shook her head at the Nepalese woman. The Scandinavian member then made a familiar motion as to tell her to play along with Yui's ploy.
"It's Carry," answered the man. "Ensign Jean Carry. I pilot that white prototype mass production model."
Jean Carry then pointed to the white painted mobile suit that had extra armor and somewhat looked what like the Duel Gundam with it's Assault Shroud armor. Yuuya widened his eyes in shock and amazement at the sight of the prototype mass production model.
"Finish up with your adjustments here," ordered Jean. "Then make sure you get some rest. That's an order."
"Yes sir," acknowledged Yui, as she spoke for the small group. "If you'll excuse us while we finish up here."
Jean then gave a slight nod as he went out on his way out of the hangar. Once the blonde-haired mobile suit pilot had left, the group let out a sigh of relief as the Coordinator left. Once the door could be heard closing, Yuuya then looked to Yui.
"I sure hope that we don't have to keep saluting every Earth Forces officer we come across," snarked Yuuya. "I didn't leave the Earth Forces just to be saluting those assholes again… 'Princess'."
"Just hurry and get to your mobile suits before he comes back and realizes that we're not with the Earth Forces," Yui calmly ordered everyone. "It was bad enough that we had to kill those pilots just to come and claim these."
"I think I'll this bad boy for myself," Tarisa said with a big grin as she jumped in the cockpit of the white mobile suit and tried to start up. "Huh? I can't start it up."
"Did you think that a Combat Coordinator was just gonna leave his suit for easy picking?" Yuuya sarcastically asked Tarisa. "My guess is that he put a lock on the OS."
"Tarisa, just take one of these other mobile suits," Valerio said cheerfully. "We'll upgrade it at a later time, okay?"
The Nepalese young woman sighed as she exited the white suit and took the mobile suit next to it. As everyone in the small band of rebels was claiming their mobile suits, Yui stood watch to make sure that no one was impeding their progress and would then claim a mobile suit for herself. She kept a careful eye until Yuuya called out to her.
"Hey Princess!" Yuuya called to Yui. "We're ready to go here. Get into your own suit and we'll get the hell outta here!"
"I'm afraid that's not possible," said the voice of Jean Carry as he had returned to the hangar.
Yui and the others widened their eyes in shock as the blonde-haired doctor of engineering returned to see the rebels. Yui narrowed her eyes as she expected to see additional guards. Jean however reentered the hangar alone. He looked to each of the rebels as he saw them claiming a Strike Dagger of their own.
"So," began Jean, "you're the young lady that's being hunted by Blue Cosmos. Miss Yui Takamura."
"Crap, we're screwed," muttered Yuuya Bridges.
"It's inevitable to ZAFT is coming to attack and destroy this base's mass driver," Jean said calmly. "And I thought you were just rebels from South America that are still fighting against us."
"Yeah so?" challenged Tarisa shot back. "What's it to you? You're a Coordinator and you betrayed ZAFT. What makes you different from us? You're just as much a rebel as we are."
"Except that you have only two options," countered Jean. "You can either come under my command until an opportunity arises for you to escape. Or I can inform the base commander that the Samurai Princess is here and trying to steal mobile suits from the Earth Forces.
Not wanting to risk the off chance that Jean Carry was bluffing, which he was, Yui and the others had no choice but accept him as their commanding officer until the opportune moment presented itself.
"Lelouch vi Britannia commands you…" Lelouch said to several Earth Forces soldiers who had come to seize and detain him and Suzaku, as he removed both eye contacts revealing his Geass power, "all of you will obey me."
Taking only a few seconds, the Geass power overpowered the will of those Earth Forces soldiers and set in as they were fully Lelouch's control. Once they were under his control, the soldiers then lowered their weapons and stood at attention and snapped a crisp salute to their new master.
"Yes sir!" exclaimed Geass-controlled soldiers as they acknowledged Lelouch as their new master.
"Lelouch, we may have to be careful about using Geass here," Suzaku said to his friend.
"You're right about that," agreed Lelouch. "We certainly can't have this Earth Alliance knowing about Geass or those Blue Cosmos elitists that Captain Ramius and Commander La Flaga warned us about."
"Avalon, this is K-1," Lelouch said through his headset, "we've secured a hangar along with some… 'volunteers' as well."
"This is Avalon," replied Lloyd Asplund. "We acknowledge your last, your Majesty."
"Please… this isn't Britannia," Lelouch replied coolly. "For now call me K-1 until we can get a proper footing here if we can't return to our own world."
"Right, sorry… K-1," said Lloyd. "We'll keep monitoring the channels while you and Suzaku get all of the conditions favorable for ZAFT and our friends from the Archangel.
"May I inquire something K-1?" Lloyd asked Lelouch.
"What is it?" asked Lelouch.
"Are you planning on establishing the Black Knights here?" asked Lloyd.
Suzaku looked to Lelouch as he too was curious to know if his best friend was going to try and set up the Black Knights in the Cosmic Era especially in light of hearing about the Bloody Valentine tragedy and the terrorist organization Blue Cosmos. If Suzaku knew one thing about Lelouch, it was that once the gears in his mind started turning, there was no stopping him. Lelouch smiled at the thought of creating a new Black Knights organization in the Cosmic Era, but he had little data and almost no knowledge of the history in the Cosmic Era.
"Right now, we have very little knowledge on this timeline," answered Lelouch. "We must gather more information on what we've entered into. Once we have obtained that, we can proceed with our next moves."
"That seems like a smart move for now," agreed Lloyd. "If you can get access to some historical files, Cecile and I can a look at them. From there, we can analyze them and have more knowledge on how to tackle this Earth Alliance."
