Welcome to version 2.0 submitted 6/19/10.
Pain, Deceit, and Hijackings
Lancelot sat there motionless in the hanger. Its pilot knight of seven Suzaku Kururugi sat waiting for orders to engage a rouge faction of the Britannian royal guard.
The royal guard was convinced by Zero to kidnap Odysseus Eu Britannia.
"Damn Lelouch", thought Suzaku as a rush of memories came to him.
The pain came back too…
Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted by the optimistic Lloyd Aspuld.
"Congratulations we just got permission to have some fun", said Lloyd as he threw the Lancelot's key and hit a surprised Suzaku in the head.
"Damn it Lloyd you think it is time to crack jokes the first prince of Britannia has been kidnapped and we don't even know if he is still alive!" said Suzaku has his pain and anger flourished at the thought of his former friend Lelouch.
"No reason to yell my boy. That is the reason I gave you the key from here I really don't feel like getting punched again." said Lloyd remembering the battle of Tokyo which was just over a year before.
"Sorry Lloyd I just have a lot on my mind", said Suzaku realizing how loud he was saying his words.
"Well lad you outrank me now anyway so there is no reason to argue now." said Lloyd as he walked away.
"Oh and Cecile don't forget to make sure Suzaku gets his gift, said the earl before he left the room.
"That's right I almost forgot! Suzaku Viceroy Nunnally sent this to you, said Cecile has she lifted a notebook out of a nearby compartment.
"She said this was found when they cleaned the government building".
"Hm...okay than Cecile" Said Suzaku as he took the notebook and climbed into Lancelot.
He opened the front cover and tears stared to roll down his eyes.
It was a diary, the diary of the late princess Euphemia Li Britannia. He flipped to a random page a started reading.
"Today I met a young honorary Britannian soldier as if that matters his name was Suzaku Kururugi son of the late prime minster of Japan. He was kind and caring. I met him while jumping out of a window I don't know what I was thinking, but maybe it was fate. We walked around and I found a cat, although it seemed to have a grudge with Suzaku and bit him. After seeing the settlement I asked him to take me to the Shinjuku Ghetto. He did and in a polite way too. We went to the memorial where some students were taking pictures. The kids were extremely prejudiced; alas this is to be expected of all Britannians. Eventually some Japanese decided that they had enough and started harassing the students Suzaku ran right in there and stopped it. Despite his best efforts I still had to save him. However our mourning ended abruptly. When he heard a raging battle and rushed into the scene in his knightmare frame. I foolishly followed him to stop the fighting when he came and saved me from some sort of weapon. I then revealed my identity as princess and sub- viceroy. Suzaku gave me the classic royal treatment and I decided right then and there that I have to keep an eye on this one".
Suzaku was astonished.
He had no idea that Euphy even kept a diary let alone wrote about him.
He remembered the day the Lelouch had used his geass to make her slaughter the elevens; or rather the Japanese as Euphy would have wanted them to have been called.
"Elevens…. He had called himself and his people a mere number" Thought Suzaku.
He stayed deep in thought until his concentration was broken by the blaring missile alert system.
He wondered where the missile was coming from. The first recon squad had declared the area clear just moments ago, and Intel had stated that the Black Knights were not set to arrive for another hour.
Lancelot being the advanced knightmare that it is dodged the missile was ease, but Suzaku was surprised to see a knightmare on one of the lower islands.
The knightmare appeared to be a Sutherland, nonetheless Suzaku rushed towards it dodging missiles and slash harkins.
The once dark communication screen sparked to live to show the face of Cecile.
"Suzaku it's a tra-"Was all she managed to say before the screen once again went dark.
Suzaku watched in despair as Lancelot lost power and eventually shutdown altogether.
Suzaku drew his pistol and pulled the emergency ejection lever. His effort was in vain however as he was already surrounded by royal guards brandishing machine guns.
One of the men rushed over and bashed him in the face. Before he could react he was spun around had the barrel of the man's machine gun placed firmly on his back.
The man pushed him into a desolate patch of woods, which Suzaku had not seen from the air.
One of the men went over to a tree and revealed a secret compartment and input a code.
It seemed that that the whole island shook as the ground descended into an underground structure."Just like Nartia" thought Suzaku as they descended deep into the islands crust.
The structure was huge in the only glimpse he saw Suzaku noted an impressive 50 Sutherlands.
They then blindfolded him and led him to a chamber he was thrown in the room and then heard a voice. "It couldn't be" thought Suzaku.
"Suzaku Kururugi you are here by stripped of your title of knight of seven and made the personal night of myself Euphemia li Britannia"
He took his blindfold off.
"Euphy how you can still be alive I saw zero shoot you how is it possible you survived!" said Suzaku as tears ran down his eyes remembering the event without missing a detail.
"Death is something for the weak I am no longer Princess Euphy. I am the 99th Empress of the holy Britannian Empire Euphemia li Britannia" Said Euphy in a cold dark way.
"That is impossible Charles is the emperor, and even if he was dead Od… it was you wasn't it! You framed Zero" Said Suzaku
"Now frame is such a harsh word Suzaku" Said Euphy.
"You can't be Euphy. She would never be so cruel" Said Suzaku as he drew his pistol.
The royal guard raised their weapons and prepared to fire, but stopped when Euphy commanded them to put down their weapons.
"Now now Suzaku my dear would you really shoot the woman you love?" Stated Euphy in a cynical way
"How DARE you! You taint her memory with deceit" Yelled Suzaku
"Now no reason to get…" Said Euphy before she got shot by Suzaku
Suzaku was prepared to die, Hell! He wanted to die. He had shot Euphy….
However fate seemed to have different plans, the Avalon busted in giving a wide range of covering fire giving time for Suzaku to make it to the rope that had been thrown down to him.
"We managed to retrieve Lancelot as well, not that you made it easy for us to do so." said Lloyd's familiar voice.
Suzaku grabbed onto the rope that was dropped to him and climbed aboard the massive sky ship
As soon as he was aboard he rushed to the hanger and into his gleaming white knightmare preparing to launch into the raging battle below.
However all too soon he realized that Lloyd had the key.
In a joking light hearted manner Suzaku warned Lloyd that if he didn't hand over the key he would have to punch him again.
"Has much as I would like to watch my baby destroy some Sutherlands things have taken a turn for the worse. That little stunt we just pulled to save you has lost us our shields, and most of the knightmares we had. On top of that we have orders to fall back with the rest of the militaries forced in the region to Area 11. Orders come from the Knight of One Bismarck himself." Stated Lloyd in his usual goofy manner
The Avalon quickly left the island being covered by the remaining knightmares on the ground. In their rush to make it back to Area 11 however they neglected to notice the anomaly on their sensors.
Soon an army of Black Knights including new airships uncloaked and began to board the Avalon.
Security forces onboard tried to resist the Black Knight, but they were tired, morale was low, and they were horribly outgunned.
Suzaku tried to raise the spirits of the men and lead a defense, but when he had almost accomplished his goal he was captured and escorted to one of the holding cells where he awaited an audience with Lelouch, otherwise known has Zero.
Suzaku sat in his cell for what seemed like hours until he finally heard footsteps and Zero came into sight.
"Suzaku Kururugi I expected one of the knights of twelve to put up more of a fight" said zero in his standard manner.
"Since we are alone Lelouch I see no reason we can't drop the formalities" Said Suzaku sure that it was Lelouch behind the mask.
He was surprised when Zero took off his helmet and revealed long green hair, and sparkling amber eyes.
"Well if my darling Lelouch was here I am sure that he would give some long impressive speech but until do you know where I can get some pizza?" Asked C.C
Ever since the Avalon had been boarded and taken over he had been locked in a room with the girl from the capsule. She had told him her name was C.C, and then started bombarding him with questions. "Do you think pizza hut delivers to giant ships in mid air?" Or something to that extent, he had tried not to listen.
He was nearly asleep from boredom when he heard explosions, and saw Britannian knightmares outside.
He heard the intimidating voice of the Knight of One demanding the surrender of the Black Knights and the safe return of the Avalon and all of its crew. He went on to state that if the demands were not met in a timely manner that he would have the entire forces including the heavy artillery knightmare Mordred open fire on the ship.
Suzaku observed C.C put on the Zero costume over her white jacket, and tuck her hair into the helmet. She then grabbed Lloyd and himself, and took them to the bridge. She had decided to call their bluff and opened a video channel to Bismarck himself.
"Lloyd eventually one of the sides is going to open fire and we will die as the result. We have to escape now while we can" whispered Suzaku
"Oh well…wait does that mean I will never taste pudding again." Said Lloyd obviously not taking the situation seriously
He quickly scanned that area around him, and saw the familiar red hair of Kallen ace pilot of the Guren walking to the hanger.
He looked around once more to ensure that no one was watching him and made his move.
He charged at Kallen and grabbed her by the neck, and put her in a headlock.
"You idiot let GO OF ME!" yelled Kallen.
"I don't think so" said Suzaku as he held his grip firm around her neck and moved to the Lancelot.
When he got to the Lancelot he let her go noticing the tears run down her eyes.
"Kallen I'm sorry I never meant to hurt you" Said Suzaku as he looked her in the eyes.
"Shut up you fool" Said Kallen as she passionately kissed him and then proceeded to immediately slap him across the face.
"Just go…NOW!" Screamed Kallen her face red with rage
Suzaku wasted no time in heeding her words, and scrambled into the cockpit of the Lancelot, and launched out of the hanger.
"Now that is what I call bitter sweet" Said Suzaku as he remembered the first time he had shared a kiss with Kallen
It was just after the death of his true love Euphemia li Britannia. He decided to make a meeting with Kallen to discuss how far would Zero would go to rule the world. Of course this did not turn out how he expected. He met with Kallen on one of the rare moments off the battlefield after he had figured out her identity. It somehow managed to go from Zero to a friendly wrestling match. It was a tough fight, but eventually he had her pinned. He looked deep into her eyes, but before he could make his move she made hers. She pressed her lips against his as the rolled of the mat. He returned this kiss with the same passion. It lasted for maybe 2 seconds until Kallen realized that this was her enemy and ran off with tears running down her cheeks.
It was not long after that that he learned Gino was secretly dating her. Not to say it broke his heart, but it still hurt.
He however was used to pain as he remembered the first time he had kiss Euphy.
It was the day she announced the special administrative district of Japan. She was worried about the whole announcement and kept nervously babbling when Suzaku decided to help her by surprisingly kissing her. At first he thought that he had done went too far until she returned the kiss with the same power as his. They stayed there in perfect peace until a knock came at the door and they quickly had to compose themselves. He remembered the humor and remembered the pain that came soon after. The devastating pain which had left him hollow and empty inside. To deal with it he thought about taking refrain, but decided that is not what Euphy would have wanted.
He ignored the radio chatter from his commander telling him to return to the battlefield.
He landed in one of the hangers for a hotel on the coast. When he reached the lobby he saw that quite a crowd had gathered. At the forefront of the crowd was his classmate Milly Ashford. He ignored her and continued onto one of the rooms reserved for military personnel, and quickly fell asleep.
