Shadow Skirmish
Hallo, guys.
Here is some reply to reviews:

Thank you for the compliment.

Of course they're going to be scared. Even GDI, who always found a way to defeat them, always scared when they face the Brotherhood. And yes, no one can't kill the Messiah.
Allying with the Black Knights? Do you think Lelouch will want to do that when he see Fanatics? He NEVER use his own men as a suicide bomber or something close to that before becoming Emperor (when he's trying to become the master of evil). And that is just one of the reason.
Cyricist001:
Remember, it also depend on the commander.
Also, if there's too many Knightmare Frames at one time, even the mighty Obelisk of Light will be defeated.
pataponvideo:
A fully upgraded Avatar have a lot of weaponry. One of them is stealth generator. So imagine that you're a Knightmare user, trying to find any enemy to be killed, only to find there's an Avatar in front of you this whole TIME...yeah, that would be scary. The scientists? Who does not want to analyze that thing?
Then, imagine their reaction when they meet the Redemeer.

Area 11 (Japan)
Inside a bedroom, a figure is sleeping soundly. It's almost morning. Then, there's something unexpected happening...
"MILITIA!"
"WHAT THE..."
The figure then fall from his bed. He then revealed to be the Legendary Insurgent. The Insurgent then go to the nearest window and open the curtain. He can see some militants are doing an exercise.
"Why they always need to speak that thing so loud?" Ask the Insurgent to nobody.
"So, what's the news?"
"WHOAA!"
Alex, surprised by the Insurgent sudden entry, fall from his chair. The coffee at his hand spill from the cup and wetting him.
"HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT..."
The Insurgent let Alex running in circle like a chick lost its mother while he casually it his bread.
Few minutes later, the entire fiasco stop.
"Same question." Said the Insurgent.
"Oh well, except some Japanese do resistance thing, Britannian do bad thing, nothing." Replied Alex.
"I see. Inform me if you find anything interesting, we only have a few days here. After we finish our EVA connection here, we'll be going back to the Temple Prime."
"Affirmative, Commander."
Alex is walking with a tab at his hand. He then knock the Insurgent's office's door. When he get the permission, Alex opens the door and walk in.
"Commander, remember when you said to inform you if I found something interesting?" Ask Alex.
"What about it?" Ask the Insurgent back.
"I found one." This thing gets the Insurgent interest.
"What did you found?"
Alex then give the tab which display what Alex want to show to the Insurgent.
"Just few minutes ago, our spy manage to get an information that Clovis la Britannia ordered the army to retrive a 'poisonous gas'." Explain Alex.
"And the more than meet the eyes..."
"He tasked the Royal Guards to retrieve it. Clovis maybe not a military genius, but he's not stupid enough to sent the Royal Guards for a simple mission."
The Insurgent take a more closer look at the information. His eyes then become as wide as saucer.
"Oh my..."
"What's wrong, sir?" Ask Alex.
"If I am right, Clovis will ordered the destruction of Shinjuku ghetto. I am pretty sure you can fill on the rest." Replied the Insurgent.
Alex took some seconds for thinking before he finally get it.
"So, what should we do?" Ask Alex.
"What the closest unit to Shinjuku?"
"The Third Militant Battalion led by Grand Confessor Tadashi Nara. They only a mile away." Replied Alex.
"Send message to them to prepare our brothers and sisters and head to Shinjuku!"
"At once."
Near Shinjuku
The militants from the Third Militant Battalion are preparing themselves. The Militant squads are getting their weapons, the Militant rocket squads preparing their rocket launcher, and Fanatics perform their possibly last rituals in the Hand of Nod.
"Brothers, sisters, it is time!"
The militants then turn their attention to the Grand Confessor that led them.
"The Brotherhood has tasked us to help...the Japanese at Shinjuku ghetto!"
"HOORAH!"
"The Britannia has sent their men to kill everyone. Men, women, and children, all will be slaughtered!"
After Tadashi finish his sentence, he can see that his brothers and sisters are holding their anger.
"BUT WE WILL BE THERE! WE WILL SHOW THOSE OPPRESSOR THE WRATH OF KANE!"
"HOORAAAAH!"
"Our enemies will be defeated! They will not win! Because evilness will never win!"
"HOOORAAH!"
"DOWN WITH BRITANNIA!"
"DOWN WITH BRITANNIA!"
"Let's go, go, go!"
The militants then go inside the Carryalls, which will send them to Shinjuku.
Nod Command room
"Getting visual." Report Alex.
The Legendary Insurgent is at the command room while Alex is establishing both visual and audio connection with the field troops.
"[COMMS] Commander, we manage to established visual and audio connection. We should have it right...now."
Just like what Alex says, the screen at the command room shows the Insurgent the situation of Shinjuku ghetto. Well, at least some of it.
Two Carryalls then enter the field. One of them carrying a Saboteur, while the other carrying a Fanatics.
"[COMMS] OK, Commander. At you screen, you can see a Britannian's reconnaissance vehicle. It's guarded by two infantry squads. The Fanatics can take care of them, while the Saboteur can capture it. If we capture it, we can have a better view of Shinjuku, and hearing what the Britannian command said." Inform Alex.
After hearing that, the Insurgent lead the Fanatics to the left flank of the infantries. Thanks to the debris, the Fanatics are not spotted. When they close enough, he ordered them to attack.
"Now!"
The Fanatics battle cry surprise the infantries. Before they can react, the Fanatics reach them and blow themselves, leaving two Fanatics as the survivors. Then, the Insurgent ordered the Saboteur to capture the vehicle. After he capture it, the Insurgent now have a better view of Shinjuku.
"[COMMS] Good. The fog of war is now gone. And looks like reinforcement have arrived." Said Alex.
Just like what Alex said, a group of Carryalls appear and then drop their passengers, which consist of Militant squads, Militant rocket squads, and Fanatics.
"[COMMS] Commander, we manage to intercept some sort of announcement. Looks like the Britannian tasked the Honorary Britannians to find that poisonous gas. And there's a great news."
"[COMMS] What is it, Alex?"
"[COMMS] The Honorary is equipped with nothing but a combat knife."
Inside the room, the Commander become dumbfounded. Never in his life he went against such an ill-equipped troopers. Hell, even GDI most ill-equipped troopers are their Engineers with nothing but a pistol, and they are not even a combat troopers.
"Seriously? I know they received harsh treatment, but THAT much?! Oh well, whatever." Though the Insurgent.
"[COMMS] To all militants, try to capture as many Britannian soldier while the Fanatics stay behind! Do this until I say otherwise!" Command the Insurgent.
"Yes, sir!"
For some time, the Insurgent just see as his men capture quite a lot of soldiers. Some who trying to resist are immediately shot at shoulder, remembering the fact that they only have knife as a weapon.
"I hope Britannian is not this retarded. If it is, things will become really boring." Comment the Insurgent.
Few minutes later...
"[COMMS] Commander, we manage to intercept another one. They have found the gas. The Royal Guards are right now retriving it." Report Alex.
"[COMMS] Thanks for the report. All militants, retreat to the captured Britannian vehicle! Then, prepare yourself, along with the Fanatics, for our next assault!"
After his men do what he said, the Insurgent then start executing his plan.
The Insurgent see two Sutherlands approaching his position. He ordered two Militant rocket squads to ambush them, with each of them positioned at their flanks. When the Sutherlands at where he wanted it, the Insurgent ordered the attack. One squad attack one Knightmare Frame (or KF for short), making a total of four rockets for each Sutherland.
When the Insurgent checks the damage, he find one knight – the name for the pilot of KF – survived. He then ordered a militant to kill him. The militant, being a "militant", decided to use his rifle as a bat and beat the poor knight to death.
"[COMMS] Alright, men. Do as I say, and we can win this battle!"
Shinjuku Ghetto
Two Japanese/Eleven resistance members, Kaname Ohgi and Shinichiro Tamaki are running through the ghetto. Just few minutes ago, a place where they were was being attacked by Britannians infantries.
Suddenly, Ohgi stop his pace. Tamaki, confused, decided to ask. He doesn't do it because he finally understand why. In front of them, a squad of Britannians are about to execute some civilians. Before Tamaki can do anything, Ohgi put his hand at the former's shoulder and shook his head; indicating that there's nothing they can do. Tamaki gritted his teeth and make a fist because of the fact they can do nothing to stop the execution of their own countrymen.
However, before the Britannian can do the execution, there's a gunfire – a lot of them – came out of nowhere. The Britannians retaliate, but they can only open a few shots before all of them are death.
Then, also out of nowhere, a group of people wearing drab, gray hooded jackets and pants, with bandoleers, backpacks, and goggles. All of them wield a variety of small arms. Some of them then talk to the rescued civilians. After that, the civilians go to where these mysterious people came from; escorted by some of them.
Before anyone can react, a KFs come from the other side of the road. Without further delay, the mysterious people and the resistance members are running away, albeit the former take a different route.
Kallen is patrolling inside her Glasgow when she see a Britannian's tank open fire at the fleeing civilians. She then used her KF's Slash Harken, putting the tank out of commission. She then hear quite a lot of explosions, and decided to check it. When she arrive at the location, Kallen become dumbfounded at what she see.
Apparently, from the Insurgent's POV, a group of Fanatics are ambushing a rather large convoy of Britannian military. Despite armed with machine guns, tanks, and KFs, they are almost no match for the large number and fanatic "Fanatics"; they kill one, others will come from other side and blow themselves but not without bringing some soldiers with them.
For Kallen, it happens for a few hours, while in fact it's only a few minutes. When the series of explosions stop, Kallen then take a look at the Fanatics. She can see from their eyes that they see her and decided to do something. Suddenly, all Fanatics run toward the Glasgow. It took Kallen less than a second before she figured out why.
"Don't tell me they think I am a Britannian?!" Though her.
She then immediately drives her Glasgow away from the Fanatics while the latter keep chasing her.
Nod Command room
Sometime later...
The Insurgent is confused. He have no idea should he feel relieved or angry. Relieved because this mysterious voice helped the remaining resistance; angry because he eliminated a lot of his "supposed to be" victims.
"And here I though I could have some fun." Though the Insurgent.
Establishing video uplink...
After the announcement from EVA, Alex's face appear at the screen.
"[COMMS] Commander, one of our brother have spotted what looks like a new Knightmare Frame." Inform Alex.
"[COMMS] Do you have any video about it?" Ask the Insurgent.
"[COMMS] We have. Here's one of them."
Alex then shows both recording and live video of said KF. It's white with gold trim in color. The KF moved so fast that the Insurgent almost though he see an action movie.
"[COMMS] What the hell is that thing? A commando KF?" Comment the Insurgent.
"[COMMS] Beats me." Replied Alex.
The Insurgent is doing nothing but watched as the white KF defeat all Sutherlands as if they were nothing. It didn't encounter any of his forces because they are at the other side of the ghetto. The Insurgent also see the white KF rescue a civilians.
"Looks like you have a good heart for a Britannian. Well, at least I know how to divert your attention." Comment the Insurgent.
After watching the video for some minutes, he realized he doesn't see any anti-personel weaponry on it.
"Strange. Anti-personnel weapon is mandatory to all KF. Or, at least as far as we know."
If this is a western cartoon, the Insurgent will have a light bulb at his head.
Shinjuku Ghetto
For Suzaku Kururugi, this day is one of the most strangest day in his live.
First, he was tasked to find a poisonous gas. Then, he found his old friend...and getting shot not long after that. After that, he woke up and that white haired scientist, Lloyd his name, asked him to became a devicer of a new KF, Lancelot. After he accepted it, he used the Lancelot to defeat all terrorist's Sutherlands. He then found their commander, only to be intercepted by a Glasgow, which then ejected. Then, he chased the commander (Lelouch) while he destroyed a lot of building in process. He abandoned him when he decided to rescue a woman with her baby.
And now, he's running away from something he can't believe still exist: Suicide bombers.
At first, he though it won't be a big problem; only to realize that Lancelot does not have anti-personel weapon. That, plus Lloyd's scream to get the hell out of there ASAP is the reasons he's running away.
"Seriously, what next?" Though Suzaku.
Nod Command room
The Insurgent keeps ordering the Fanatics to chase the Lancelot until the ceasefire announcement from Clovis is announced.
"[COMMS] Alright, men. Pack up. We have done our job. The Viceroy is now too scared to continue his massacre." Command the Insurgent.
After that, he leave his room to do another stuff.
Nod's Base, Area 11 (Japan)
The Legendary Insurgent, along with Alex, are approaching the field. There, the captured Honorary Britannians are being held.
"So, how's your feeling?" Ask the Insurgent to the Honoraries with a mocking tone.
"Will be better if you let us go." Replied one of them.
"Now, now, don't be like that. I..have...a proposition."
This catch the interest of the Honoraries.
"What is it?" Ask another one of them.
"I want you to join us. Now, before you give your reply, I am pretty sure you have seen some of our display of power."
What the Insurgent say is true. The Insurgent give them a video about how they beat the Britannians, destroying the myth that they are invincible.
"I know you most of you are working in the military to give a living to your family. But, if you join us, we can give you and them the same, if not a better living. Not just that, we'll ensure their safety."
The proposition becomes more and more harder for them to refuse.
"Those who decided to join, walk to get there." Said the Insurgent as he point his finger at the group of Confessors.
After hearing that, almost all Honorary Britannians do what they asked to do. I said "almost" because some of then, less than a dozen, stay in their original position.
"What's wrong?" Ask Alex.
"Sir, with all due respect, we're not joining for the money. We do it so we can change Britannia from the inside, just like what our friend, Kururugi wants." Explain one of them.
"Kururugi? You mean Suzaku Kururugi, the son of the last Prime Minister of Japan?" Ask Alex again.
"Yes, sir."
"I see, what a noble cause." Said the Insurgent. He then give a sour looks to them. "Noble, but wrong. I can understand that way, BUT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE FACT THAT YOU KILL YOUR OWN COUNTRYMEN FOR NOTHING. YOU ARE NOT EVEN DOING IT FOR YOUR FAMILY. GUARDS, TRANSFER THIS B******S TO THE MARKED OF KANE!"
"Yes, commander!" Replied a militant. The militants then do what they tasked.
After the outburst, the Insurgent then move his feet to their cafeteria, want to find something to drink.
One chapter is done.
BTW, about the Insurgent's outburst, I feel that kinda makes sense.
Can you guess what happen to the Eleven/Honorary Britannians who got transfered to the Marked of Kane? (Hint: It's not something pleasant)
Also, what's the excess the Legendary Insurgent have if he go against Lelouch and vice versa? (I am talking about them go against each other as one commander against another commander)
If you have question or suggestion, feel free to tell me.
Review please.
