Ok chapter has had a lot added thought it all follow the exact same story as the original I add a lot more explanations and some in depth look at what some character think when in battle.
Enjoy chapter 2 "A Prince's Death."
-------
"P1. Q1 is on her way, with two enemy Sutherlunds close behind her, move into position and destroy the targets on my order." Lelouch gave out his orders with enthusiasm. For the last 15 minutes he had been systematically destroying enemy knightmares.
"Uh, roger." Ougi Responded. He steadied his Sutherlund's rifle against the concrete wall in front of him.
"Do you really think this'll work?" C.C. asked as she laid back leisurely in her own knightmare. "They still out number you five to one." She yawned and looked at the screen with Lelouch's Sutherland on it. Lelouch laughed.
"Of course it'll work; everyone will listen to my orders. So the outcome is clear." He responded as he watched the light's move into position. "P1 fire." He watched his screen as the two ID signals disappeared.
---------
Ougi looked down at the enemy units he had just destroyed; only one of the pilots had ejected safely. He sighed sadly; he always had an empty feeling whenever he was forced to kill. He didn't feel anger, retribution, or even sorrow, not really. He hated the feeling, but he wouldn't stop, he had to continue, to protect his own people. He heard the radio turn on.
"p1, p4, p7, move three hundred meters to the right and fire your slash harkens at three o'clock." Lelouch ordered. Ougi instantly moved and watched as Minami and Ishida joined him. He fired; three more units destroyed, two more enemies' dead, and only felt more emptiness.
---------
C.C. listened to Lelouch's orders bored. She couldn't even watch the enemy knightmares disappear, since Lelouch thought 3 sutherlunds with there transponders on would draw attention. He continued to give his orders. Then suddenly C.C. spoke, as if to herself.
"Yes, of course I see his potential." She looked out her screen at Lelouch's knightmare. "Hmm, no I don't mind. As long as he fulfills the contract he's free to do what he wants afterwards." She waited a minute as if listening for a response. "No, I've forgotten how to be kind."
--------
Lelouch was ecstatic, he was fighting against Britannia, really fighting and wining. 'Ok so I may only be fighting against Clovis, but he has generals to help him.' he thought to himself as he watched more enemies disappear. He had always wondered what he and his group could due if they had more knightmares. But they were nearly impossible to steal, the one's currently on duty were always passkey and password protected, making it nearly impossible to take unnoticed. The stored ones were always too protected to even think about taking, blow up maybe, but not take.
He turned his head to look at C.C.'s knightmare. 'Yes generals who probably fought countless battles, countless victories, losing against me.' He thought proudly. 'And I have her to thank.' Then his screen beeped and he turned back to the battle.
Lelouch watched as almost all the remaining knightmares started to converge on a single spot. 'Then again maybe it is only Clovis I'm fighting.' he sighed frustrated they were making this so easy for him.
"Clovis you're a fool." He spoke as he turned on his radio. "Everyone, enter the old subway at the central park and prepare for orders." He watched as over three fourths of Clovis's remaining forces converted on the spot.
"All units fire at the ceiling and back away for at least 500 meters on my order." Lelouch watched as his enemies got in position. "Now!" he yelled in the radio. The entire screen emptied of ID signals a second later. Then he laughed maniacally.
"I can do it! I can destroy Britannia!" He laughed at Clovis's stupidity, never simply rush into a fight expecting win through force alone, it only makes it easier to use your own force against you. He continued to give orders and planning his next move.
"Just a little more and I'll breach their defenses." He spoke happily. Then his radio turned on.
"K, this is group b3, were under attack!" Lelouch looked startled, and glanced at his screen seeing a single I.D. signal moving at impossible speeds. 'What the hell?'
"What's the situation?" he demanded almost worriedly.
"They all ejected safely, but four got hit in a flash." Lelouch watched as the signal changed directions. 'It can't only be one can it?'
"How many are there?" He asked quickly having to know exactly what he was up against.
"Just one! It must be a new model I've never seeā¦" The radio cut off.
"Hey what happened?" Lelouch watched annoyed as it moved again. 'One unit! They can't stop one unit!' He screamed in his mind.
"K, he ejected safely. Good god, it stops bullets!" Someone yelled
"What?" Lelouch asked surprised. 'A shield? Or advanced amour maybe?'
"What should we do? Ishda! Ugh!"
'Shit that was Kazuma! Damn it!' Lelouch thought. 'What kind of monster is this?'
"N4, N5 slow down. Surround it and wait for reinforcements." He ordered, desperately thinking of a plan.
"Got it!" He heard the response but a second later he heard. "Damn we can't stop this thing!"
"Damn it!" Lelouch cursed loudly, and then he smiled, he had his plan. "Well if this thing is a monster, then I'll have to become a monster to defeat it. P1, take P5, and 3. Lure it into the base 3, entrance 2." He ordered quickly.
"Eh! Base 3, why?" Ougi asked but followed the orders with out hesitation; he knew what happens when you hesitate.
"We're going to use plan F." Lelouch Responded. 'It's a shame to lose it but sacrifices must be made.' He smiled to himself.
"You can't be serious, what of the people living there?" Ougi responded outraged even as he continued as ordered. Lelouch frown, 'Ougi would never approve of this plan except for one thing.' He though then answered.
"Britannia had already swept the area; I had N2 scout it earlier." He lied. "No survivors were found." Lelouch smiled knowing he had just removed Ougi's only argument from the equation, 'and to be fair I might not even be lying about the survivors.' He watched the screen as the enemy unit was catching up.
Ougi continued on stunned. 'Britannia had massacred that area before they arrived?' He knew they had, he had seen the smoke. 'But no survivors?' He continued on as he saw the whitehead not far behind him, its speed was too great; they wouldn't make it in time.
"K! We won't make it. It's to fast!" He yelled into the radio, the deaths of all those people still in his mind.
"Continue on. It's just a little farther. Q1! Support them." Lelouch replied.
"Roger!" Was Kallen only response as she rushed out of the building she was hiding in and tackled the whitehead. It quickly destroyed her knightmare too, but she had succeeded, Ougi and the others were in the subway. The whitehead followed.
"Continue down until you reach the base then scatter. Each of you take one of the three exits and head straight to the surface. Rotated between firing at the target, keep it constant, in can't dodge in these tight quarters." Lelouch sighed; he new that wouldn't finish it off. But, whatever shield it was using slowed him down while being attacked.
"K, we're almost there. Another minute before we disperse." Ougi responded as ordered.
Lelouch picked up his cell phone, and dialed a number. The other end was attached to a specific type of answering machine. He waited, phone at his ear, as he counted in his head. Then he spoke.
"G31K7HI9F0." He heard a click on the other end and the ground shook around him.
"Damn it K. You could have warned us about that. You almost buried me!" Tamaki yelled into his radio.
"I had complete faith in your abilities p5." Lelouch responded. "P1, the target?"
"Ah, yeah, it's buried. It stopped to glance at our base when we separated." Ougi watched sadly as the buildings over their secondary base continued to fall.
'Perfect,' Lelouch thought. 'By having them separate he'd have to decide which one to follow, and by showing it was one of our bases, he'd be forced to report back. All the while helpless, against the inevitable collapse.' He smiled, then paused a moment and wondered how many civilians died because of his order. 'Doesn't matter. Britannia did in fact clean out the area, and any survivors of that, are dead now too so I can still blame them.'
"A fitting end don't you think P1." Lelouch called to Ougi making sure everyone else could hear him on the radio. "Britannia's monster was buried beneath the wait of Britannia's victims." He faked the rage in his voice, but it was believable. He quickly gave out orders to the remaining knightmares; he needed to make sure Clovis didn't escape. Then he contacted the ground units.
"Everyone else head to point g5 and wait for infiltration." Then he grabbed the controls of his Sutherland. "Sayuko, witch, were entering the battle now." He spoke coldly.
"That's not how you should speak to a lady." C.C. chimed but Lelouch ignored her.
------------
Lelouch sat at his new throne. He should be happy; he defeated and drove back the army. He made such an impact that Clovis would be striped of his title and rank. To top it off, he was now sitting in Clovis's throne inside the command unit. But Lelouch wasn't happy, quite the opposite. Because Clovis had escaped, against all odds he had slip between his fingers. Lelouch watch the screen as his knightmares ran around the city, picking through the wreckage of destroyed knightmares, helping get to the people trapped in rubble and unburying the dead.
'I must keep up appearances to gain there support.' He thought. Then he looked at the last three knightmares, located in the middle of the area he destroyed, digging their way straight down toward the white knightmare. 'I'm just glad it's transponders still functional.' Lelouch knew he couldn't use the knightmare, at the moment it would be crushed, broken, and he had no one who could fix or even analyze it. But he knew of its importance. 'A knightmare capable of making sutherlunds obsolete.'
Lelouch walked back to the chair and pressed one of the many buttons.
"My fellow Japanese!" He spoke hiding his rage at losing Clovis. "Today we struck a great blow to Britannia!" Then Ougi entered the room and walked quietly forward. "Today we showed Britannia is not invincible!" Ougi move closer and Lelouch lifted his finger from the button, hoping it would be taken as dramatic pause. Ougi whispered something in his ear, not sure if the speakers were off or not. Lelouch smiled.
"Today we brought justice down on the former governor Clovis! Who ordered this massacre! Today royalty died!" Lelouch finished there he no longer had to hide his anger, because the object he desired had been brought to him.
"Your sure?" he asked Ougi.
"Yes, Kallen caught him trying to sneak away in the background." Lelouch almost laughed. He turned off all the lights in the room.
"Bring him in. Then you're free to go." He waved his hand dismissively.
"Go? But why? Ougi asked concerned.
"Because Ougi, I wish to spare you the sight of watching one kill his own brother." Ougi stared at him stunned, before leaving to fulfill his order.
--------------
Clovis stumbled as Ougi threw him into the command room. Lelouch smile at the look of outer terror on Clovis's face. He cowered and backed against the wall as far from Lelouch as possible. Lelouch laughed at him and asked mockingly.
"What's the matter Clovis? You're that afraid of your long lost brother?
Clovis stared at the figure hiding in the shadows. As Lelouch walk closer Clovis recognized him.
"Lelouch, thank god. I thought you'd died." Then he paused for a moment, the fear returning, and asked. "You did all this?" Lelouch only nodded a large frown on his face. "But, you wouldn't kill me would you? We're brothers!" Lelouch continued to walk forward frowning. Then his right eye glowed, and he asked the question he had long waited to have answered.
"Tell me everything you know of mother and Nunnally's death." Clovis stopped shaking and answered in a monotone voice.
"Prince Schneizer and Princess Cornelia know."
"They killed them?" Lelouch asked practically yelling. When Clovis didn't answer he asked. "Is that all you know?"
"Yes."
Lelouch looked at his brother as the geass left him. He raised the gun to Clovis's head. Clovis yelled and begged for mercy as loud as he could, Lelouch only watched him. With his gun next to Clovis's head, his only reply was.
"Worthless." He fired.
------------
Outside the door, Ougi had heard the screams for mercy, and the finishing shot. He covered his head, and he tried to convince himself it was only right. 'That man had killed more Japanese with one sentence, then all the Britannians we killed over our entire life!' He struggled within himself. He managed to realize that even if he didn't like it, Clovis deserved to die. Ougi walked down the hall to go help the search and rescue teams. He walked by a door leading to Clovis's personal quarters, and saw the strange girl who had given Lelouch this power. She was stretched out across a frilly bed hugging a pillow. He continued on, thinking how useless it is to have a bed in the middle of a command center. As he drew neared to the exit he walked past a kitchen designed to feed the soldiers in prolonged attacks. There was Sayoko, diligently preparing a feast in honor of their victory. She was using the rather large food supplies already available. 'Britannian's have too many luxuries.' He thought to himself. 'Or perhaps it was only Clovis.' Then finally he was outside. He looked at all the wounded who were being treated. He walk to the closest medic, and asked what he could do to help.

So, how do you like the new chapter 2. The first part had a lot added on to it, thought and explanation wise.
Chapter three is turning out to be a real sentimental chapter even compared to the original.
Ps. don't be afraid to state ideas for the fic as I may actually decide to use them.
