Has it been a while since I updated?
NM: (Gunned down by Sutherlands because she doesn't deserve to die in an awesome way because she didn't ever update her fics)
Lea: So, what am I going to be doing today?
NM: Oh! Hey Lea! (High fives Lea) nothing much, today you're going to be a terrorist!
Lea: Better than being Satan's child
NM: Yeah…I guess it is
Lelouch: Are we going to get started now?
NM: Yep!
I really do hope that you like this!
I was surrounded with the dead.
Both Japanese and Britannian.
My brother stood silently next to the strange green haired woman on the ground.
Is he making a contract for this mysterious power as well?
Obviously he is.
Now I stand and wait for him to ask what I was doing in that truck with other terrorists.
He was simply caught up in all of this, but I'm a part of it.
I watch him slowly look up and notice all of the bodies.
"Lea, what's going on here? Why were you with those other terrorists?" He asked. I opened my mouth to reply when a Sutherland broke down one of the warehouse's walls. The pilot turned the scanner on and after a few seconds turned the speakers on.
"What happened here? And why are two Britannian students in a place like this?" The pilot asked. It was a girl. "Are you deaf? Answer me or I'll…" She then aimed the gun and shot a perfect circle around us. "Answer me!" She said again.
"I order you to come out at once!" Lelouch said. I saw the faint red light of the mysterious power reflect off of the pools of blood that stained the ground.
"Who the hell do you think you are to order me?" The pilot said and the red glow disappeared.
Interesting…it only works with direct eye contact…
I thought.
"My name is Alan Spacer, this is my sister Annie. Our father is a duke. My ID card is in my breast pocket, after you confirm who we are I'll request your protection." Lelouch said while holding his hands in the air as if he was surrendering. I heard a few buttons being pressed in the Sutherland before the back hatch opened.
"Keep your hands up in the air." The pilot said. She aimed a gun at my brother who just stood there smirking. "I'll take out your ID."
"Now then, hand your Knightmare over to me." The red glow appeared again. The pilot put the gun away.
"Understood. The code number is XG2-IG2D4." She tossed the keys to Lelouch as the red glow faded.
"Got it." He said and I walked up to the hatch. I got in first and then Lelouch followed. It was a tight fit, but he didn't know how to pilot a Knightmare and one of us certainly wasn't staying behind. Besides, I had to help the others…
I entered the code and the Sutherland came to life. I turned it around and we pulled off.
Just rolling around the ghetto was horrifying. Japanese were being massacred left and right. Blood stained the streets and almost all the buildings were burning.
I drove us under a bridge for now.
I need to find a way to meet up with the others…
Lelouch pulled out his phone and called Shirley.
"Are you near a TV?" He asked. "Sorry, but this is important. The news, is there anything about Shinjuku? Why is it restricted?" I saw military vehicles so I moved us into an abandoned home and found a few dead bodies and a chess board. Lelouch eyed the board. "Yep, you caught me. By the way, tell my little sister that Lea and I are going to be home late tonight, would you? Thanks." He hung up on her. "I'm going to go grab that." He said and before I could protest opened the hatch and grabbed the chessboard. He climbed back into the Sutherland.
"You do know that you could die out here, right?" I asked.
"Of course I do, the real question is, why were you here earlier?" I looked down in defeat.
"You know why."
"No, I mean why were you here today? I knew you would go after Britannia one day, but you're just a high school student. So why?"
"Well, it was a while back. One day in between classes in middle school I went to go grab something and I saw Kallen climbing out of a window wearing a pilot's outfit. She threatened to kill me to keep me quiet, but I told her everything."
"Everything? And Kallen, you've got to be kidding. Kallen Statfield?" I immediately placed my hand over my mouth.
"Dammit! I didn't mean to say that! Just forget I ever did!" I said and the conversation ended. I looked around and saw a radio. I entered the code that I knew Kallen used.
"Just thirty minutes left?" I heard. Lelouch picked up the radio and began helping Kallen out. "Who's this?! How do you know this code?!" Kallen asked. I grabbed the radio.
"Kallen."
"Lea?!"
"I trust this man with my life. Just listen to him if you want to win."
"To win?" He told Kallen to ride the train tracks while we watched from above in a ruined building. One of the Sutherlands chasing her jumped to go after her. I immediately shot it with my slash harkens. The other Sutherland turned its speaker on.
"What's your name and your unit?" The pilot asked. This one was a man. I shot its leg until the man had to eject or die. He ejected. The rest of the little terrorist group I was in showed up at the train and began wondering what the radio message was. Lelouch then told them to use what was on the train as tools for their victory.
The train was full of Sutherlands.
After they unloaded them Lelouch gave more instructions via radio and then shut it off for a bit and sighed.
"This is hard work." He said. I began laughing at him. "What?"
"If it was easy then it wouldn't be fun!" I said. He sighed again.
"You and I both know this isn't fun."
"Because you're not the pilot~!"
"Anyway Lea, you have to promise me something."
"What is it?"
"Don't come back here. At least for a few years. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you or Nunally."
"Hey, me neither, but I'm not going to just drop this and walk away either. I get the feeling that this isn't going to be the last time you're in a Knightmare issuing orders." He then began messing around with the dirty chessboard he picked up. He began issuing orders again and several people demanded at least his name. I grabbed the radio from him again.
"Oghi."
"Lea, what happened to you? We all figured that you had gotten captured or killed."
"I'm fine, listen, all of you. I trust this man. I'm with him right now and he can help us. So please, just trust him." I said and one by one the others calmed down about it. I handed the radio back to Lelouch and he proceeded to give more orders. Whenever he gave an order he picked up a chess piece and moved it.
Just a big game to you…isn't it?
"With this, I call check." He said as he placed the king piece that he had just been twirling around his fingers for a few minutes. A huge area of land then collapsed and Lelouch began laughing like a madman. "My plan worked! DIdn't it?!" He said.
I suppose it did…
"I can defeat Britannia!" He yelled.
"Of course you can, I never doubted you." I said. After a few minutes thought, something changed. The smirk on Lelouch's face changed to a look of fear. Probably reinforcements. Or a new kind of Knightmare. I looked at a graph with all of the units on it. One of them seemed to wipe out everything in its path. I saw a slash harken insert itself into the ceiling and I backed away and prepared a gun. It wasn't much, but it was better than nothing. I saw a new kind of Kightmare pull itself into the building.
"So this is what stopped them!" I said and began firing at it. It blocked every last shot I fired. "Damn!" The unit pushed up against mine and started pushing me into a wall. I pushed back, but the pressure caused all of us to fall through the floor right to the first floor. Before I could even react, I was under attack again. All of the sudden, a one armed Glasgo came out of nowhere and began attacking the unit.
"I'm returning the favor!" The pilot said over the radio. "If Lea trusts you, then I do too!" However, Kallen was defeated and forced to eject. I quickly drove away and did everything I could to get rid of that unit. I shot at unstable buildings in an attempt to crush the Kightmare. But it managed to avoid literally everything thrown at it. But, in all of the chaos, he saved someone who was falling out of a building and would've otherwise died.
"I think that's enough for one day!" I said and ejected Lelouch and I from the Sutherland. I definitely didn't want that unit coming back to finish what it had started. We both got out of the cockpit, or what was left of it. I found a few guards and shot them both so I could take their armor. Eventually, Lelouch and I made it to Clovis' personal transport. A guard aimed a machine gun at me.
"Stop! Where's your ID?"
"I'd like you to let us pass." Lelouch said and the guard walked away. We literally waltzed into the area Clovis was, pointed a few guns at the guy, and managed a cease fire. Not a bad day's work indeed.
"Are you two satisfied?" Clovis asked after I turned off the lights.
"Very, well done." Lelouch said.
"And what shall we do now? Sing a few songs?"
"Actually, how about Russian roulette instead?" I said. Both glared at me. "Fine."
"Perhaps a nice game of chess?"
"That has a familiar ring." Lelouch pulled off his helmet. "Don't you recall? The two of us used to play chess together as boys. Of course, I would always win."
"What?"
"Remember? At the Aries Villa?"
"You, who are you?"
"Batman." I said. More glares. "You people are no fun."
"It's been a long time, big brother." Lelouch said. "Lelouch Vi Britannia at your service." He did a mock bow.
"Lelouch…but I though-"
"That I was dead?"
"Yes! And who is your accomplice?" I removed my helmet. I walked up to Clovis and did a mock bow.
"Lea Vi Britannia at your service."
"We have returned, your highness. And we've come to change everything."
Alright! Second chapter is done! I wanted to write for Demonic Host, but that writer's block though. I've been watching Steven Universe all afternoon. It's so weird. I can't tell if it's a good weird or a bad weird yet…just weird.
Lelouch: What does that have to do with anything?
NM: CAT FINGERS!
Everyone: Stares
NM: Um…nothing actually…
Lea: Well, that was fun!
See you all next time! Bye!
