Chapter 1
Checkmate
Surprise comes on both ends
"If we take a proper aim we'll be able to defeat them" zero shouted, as he squeezed the iron that his hands were around, releasing his fury at his near state of defeat.
"Zero more nightmares have been located at the east wing of the palace" ogy reported from the transmitting radio.
Zero pulled the transmitter to his mouth and shouted, "Back up team, go to the east wing, R1 and R2 when you're finished with the bombs on the fifth floor, get out of there!"
C2 walked up to him holding her teddy bear, she paused behind him and he turned his head towards her
"What is it now" he said rather upset and annoyed.
"Oh nothing, just will they make it out there successfully"
"Of course they will, I sent back up to help them until they can destroy the fifth floor" he replied calmly
"Yes I know, but with all those nightmares heading for them will they even complete it in time"
"Yes" he turned around, or maybe not, I had this whole thing planned out but it seems my brother is smarter than I expected, well, I 'm always one step ahead….in every game.
"Zero! We have been recognized by aircrafts" shouted a man controlling from up the front.
"What! How did they find us! That's imposi-"
"Zero, we have reports that we're completely surrounded our enemies" a control officer said completely terrified
"I can't believe I have to do this when we're so close to getting what we want...everyone listen to this order….." he exclaimed ,everyone and the people on the transmitter halted.
Earlier
"So let me get this straight….." C2 said curled in the bed
"Your brother has some kind of secret research going on and you're going to burst into his building and receive information on this 'research' "
"Yes" Leluech replied as he wrapped the cape around him
"And exactly what will you obtain from this"
"I have received information that he's creating a new device"
"Oh, I see, it's both for the black knights and pleasure"
Leleuch turned around and smiled
"You're still a witch"
He put on the mask, she giggled and walked away.
"I have already planned how to retrieve it all I need now is to find him and get it" he said opening the door and stepping out.
"I understand" she replied turning in the bed.
"We will have to retreat!" he continued his sentence
"But sir" a group of officers said
"Now!" he insisted
How can I find a way to retreat when we're completely surrounded? Trying to fight our way out would get us killed. Using my geass? No. there has to be away. Completely surrounded in a 360 force and being hovered by armed aircrafts 500 feet in the air…..hmm
"Fine….Blow the ground below us" Zero commanded.
Everyone gasped
"But sir, there's a water system below us leading to the sea" a female officer said terrified as she stood looking up to him.
"Exactly" his voice echoed under the mask.
"That's the best escape route leading us to the sea, that way we can be lifted by our aircrafts leading us to the base.
"Yes sir" they all said in unison
"I'll contact the aircrafts so they'll be waiting once we emerge from the underground panel" a man said taking up the transmitter.
"Sir, we're ready to fire when you need it" another group said as they awaited Zero's response.
With the strength of hit not only will we go underground but my brother's research building too… Leluech couldn't help but smile under the mask the plan took form at the very edge of the passing seconds.
"R1 and R2 are you finished" he asked holding the transmitter in his hand while descending a few steps.
"Yes sir!" both men replied in unison.
"Good, now fire!" he said as he took hold on a chair.
The entire machine went down as a bomb was fired sending a slight earthquake, creating wide cracks on the ground swallowing everything causing the building to go down along a few nightmares into the ground beneath them.
Yes yes exactly what I want
As soon as the machine touched the water, Zero immediately opened the door to exit and began walking out.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to create a diversion by you some time to reach at the end of the dam"
"But sir, alone?"
"I will be okay" he replied calmly and self-assured as the door slowly closed and they no longer saw him standing there.
Zero stepped of the iron hard structure and onto the concrete floor. He was now underground in the water canal system that was big enough to hold the ship.
"Simple…" pause "send a group of nightmares down there and we'll prepare a counter attack from above" Schneizel said as he sat in a huge throne-like chair in an aircraft hovering above
"Sir Yes sir!" replied a bunch of his loyal men
He smiled as he sat. You won't get away Zero, not now…not ever
The detector beeped as Zero approached an area as he walked through the underground water system that was now set up like a maze. He could hear the heavy downfall of water not far away as he walked through the maze like area.
"It should be somewhere around here exactly where I'm standing" zero said as he stooped touching the ground underneath him "or maybe not."
He looked over to the wall to see that there was a huge hole there. He walked over and looked down. There where pipes, huge ones with smaller ones going down and down into a mid-darkness. He took a closer look at the wall to see that it wasn't completely brick, it was simply dry wall.
"How foolish, this makes it easier" He said stuffing the detector in cuff of his shirt.
He carefully stepped into the gap holding on to the pipes. It was surprisingly a large space on the inside to hold up to two people. He slowly maneuvered himself down and down to where the floor below would be.
There was suddenly an explosion about five floors above him, yet, no matter how far it was it was enough to shake the floors below it. The detector fell out his shirt and was now falling into mid darkness. He listened, waiting for the crashing sound of the device but nothing.
"A far drop" he said, a sweat drop sliding down the streak of his face under the mask.
After a couple minutes he was directly at the next floor. He kicked the wall with his feet, still holding on to the pipes, and after about three or four kicks into the wall it went tumbling down leaving a huge gap leading Zero inside.
There was a shining light as he stepped through, he slowly stepped back, but not far enough so he'll end up like the transmitter falling through the hole in the wall and then falling without and endless drop into the darkness. It wasn't the light from the lights on the nightmare, neither the light of a flash light; it was warm and pink more like glowing, glowing around something but what?
Suddenly the light grew dim and he looked at wat was in front of him.
It was a six feet tall crystal that was glowing brightly as pink light shined from within creating a pinkish halo around the entire crystal.
Zero's eyes widened as he stared at the stone. What could possibly be inside to cause it to be glowing so reluctantly, also, where did they get this and exactly what was it? Something to completely defeat the Elevens if they started war, or worst a bomb to destroy the remaining of the Japanese people
"What type of device is this" he said walking towards the huge crystal reaching out towards it.
"A device, is that what I am?" a soft gentle female voice said from the inside.
Zero immediately said stepping back; he then looked closer to see the silhouette of a woman standing on the inside, her hands hugging her. You could barely make her out; she was naked, yes, probably a prisoner or maybe in fact, the device itself.
"What are you?" zero demanded
Instead there was no response. If I can find out what she is, then I can know what the next move of the Britannians would be.
He walked around completely facing the female. He took off the contacts and started at the silhouette.
My geass should work although this stone is blocking her so I can't see her vividly, but it can still work
"I command you to tell me who you are and what use or you to the Bri-"
"Your geass won't work on me:" the female replied gently and calmly
Zero became wide-eyed, how does she know about the geass?
There was a loud explosion on the floor above them and a few night mares could be heard.
damn it, I'm running out of time.
"This floor is clear, let's check the floor below us" a man shouted out
"We have to find the experiment before Zero does, that's our top priority" another voice replied.
"Its helpless, they'll be down here any minute"
"Who" the female replied unaffected by the rising tension and the explosions happening around her, she was rather calm and not taken back
"We won't have enough time"
"What are you talking about?"
"I don't have any black nights with me, no and they should probably be leaving the dam now" he said speaking to himself
"I don't understand why don't you just lea-"
He turned towards the stone, "I won't leave you behind!"
The female went silent. Zero turned around, stood, thinking on theories of how to escape
"I will rescue you…under one condition"
Zero turned towards the female inside to shining stone.
"I'll get you out and in return you'll free me from inside this stone"
"impossi-"
"Do you accept or decline" she interrupted
Zero stood motionless, he knew this was not the time to be bargaining with someone he doesn't know at a moment like this.
"Accept"
He walked over to hole he escaped from and looked above. Then crash, he finally heard the sound of the detector reaching the ground. He stepped back out, shocked and wide-eyed. He turned toward the crystal.
"You only have about 15 seconds" he started
"They'll be down here-"
"That's all the time I need"
"What?"
The crystal began to glow tremendously; he had to use his hands to cover his eyes and turned away.
"Remember to free me now…Leluech" her voice now echoing in the back of his head. It sound seducing and taunting as it roamed through his mind
"Wait how do you know who-" his voice sounded angry and upset, but his sentence was cut of
""Zero! We have been recognized by aircrafts" shouted a man controlling from up the front.
"…"
"Zero, we have reports that we're completely surrounded by our enemies" a control officer said completely terrified.
Wait all of this happened already…what's going on?
"Sir what should we do…"
How is this happening again…wait, unless?
"Sir?" a concerned woman said as she stared at Zero who stood motionless above them
"…fire below and no interruptions just fire below"
"Sir what about R1 and R2"
"I know their finish, just carry out my order" he demanded
"Yes sir"
Zero turned around…could it be possible, he went back in time…was it that female? Was it what she did?
Zero realized that there was something sticking him in the palm of his hand; he looked at his clench fist, what was he hold so tight?
He opened his hand to see a glowing pink crystal stone; it was the same from before. He sat down, staring at the stone.
He was now underground and they were heading out the water panel and out the dam.
"He planned this the entire time didn't he…?" Schneizel said disappointingly to his men as they knelt down behind their commander giving in their report.
"I certainly thought that I had him trapped but it seems that I'm the one that has fallen into his trap" he said, he released a sigh.
"call in the research team, now that I know he is gone with our dear experiment"
Zero was sitting in his chair inside his room and was now being transported back to base along with everyone in the aircraft.
"Yes Schneizel, you fell for my trap, the bombs on the fifth floor were to lure you in, you sent your men hoping you could turn around with a surprise attack, but unfortunately…"
He twisted the king piece used in chess, in his fingers
"…you fell right into my trap. I knew you'll try to surround so I simply awaited and when you came brought your entire army down. Also, no one keeps a home base research lab on ground so more than likely it would be underground, and to trick anyone who got in you diverted it into looking like a water system and installed a maze to outsmart anyone into making the lost, enough time to send you recruits to kill anyone who was there. But even a trick like that couldn't stop me from getting my hands on your device"
He smiled
"Everything was planned before I got here, you truly think I'd come unprepared."
He stopped smiling.
"Yet everything went to plan, except... me going back through time"
He looked at the crystal that was now glowing vigorously in his hands
"What?"
I hope it sounded nice
plz comment so I'll know if I should continue
