"Die" speech
'Die' thought
'It really is crammed in here, good thing that i am thin' Lelouch thought from where he was sitting. He was currently in Villetta's sutherland surveying the battlefield while she was waiting for his orders. They both saw a crimson glasgow get chased by two of the purist's sutherlands and immediately both knew that one of the two was Jeremiah Gottwald for they can hear his voice taunting the glasgow's pilot. Lelouch seeing Kallen in danger decided to help her like last time as she unlike the others was worth saving.
"Go and hide in this building over there" He ordered Villetta pointing to the building that he hided in the previous timeline.
"Why?"
"Because we are gonna help the crimson glasgow" He told her like it was a normal thing to do.
"Wh-What do you mean, I am a knight of britannia, i won't help a group of terr…" She was cut off when her left eye suddenly started to hurt.
"Who did we say is your lord again?" Lelouch asked her coldly.
"You are" Like last time she answered him submissively.
"Good, then you better remember this, to you my word is law and your allegiance is only to me, do you understand?"
Villetta could only nod to that.
Lelouch after relinquishing his hold on her left eye marvelled at how he could cause her pain like this for neither V.V. nor C.C. had that power but he didn't have time to question this power, he had someone to save.
Lelouch then used the radio that he got to communicate with Kallen "The west exit, use the railroad and move towards the west exit" He couldn't help how his voice softened when he ordered Kallen which made Villetta wipe her head around to look at him in confusion at how out of character it was of him. Lelouch ignored her for he had more important things to do.
"Who are you?! And how do you know this code?!"
Lelouch when he heard Kallen's voice felt his throat constrict tight that he couldn't reply to her. After all the last time they talked he told her that she was nothing more than a chess piece for him. Yet, he knew that he didn't really have to time to wallow in misery.
"It doesn't matter who I am" When he replied to her this time he did it with the same emotionless tone that he used as Zero because when he, to save her life told her that she was only a piece for him, had decided to burn all bridges between them.
He is also a man who seeks the future and to him his feelings for Kallen represents the past. If God or whoever gave him the power to redo his rebellion then he has to look in front of and never look back or that is what he wanted to believe but he knew that the truth was that he could never have a relationship with her because he wanted to forget the past and forge a new path for himself.
"If you want to win, believe in me."
"Win?" And just like last time she obeyed his orders.
Jeremiah Gottwald despised elevens, not because they were numbers but because they killed the children of the woman that he admired and loved. He knew that he never had a chance with her because she was married and had children and not to any man but the Britannian Emperor himself but that didn't mean he could never be loyal to her and Jeremiah valued loyalty because to him loyalty trumps all even life and honor.
So he was really angry when his subordinate got shot by a friendly knightmare as they were chasing an eleven terrorist in a crimson glasgow.
"A-Attacking our own?!" He shouted "You bastard, what squadron are you from?!"
"Hello, Jeremiah" An unfamiliar voice came through his comm.
"Bastard who are you?!"
"Why Jeremiah, I am shocked that you don't remember me" The voice told him to a fake sad tone " I think you might want to continue our conversation after you get away from the glasgow that is coming to attack you" and sure enough the crimson glasgow has returned.
Jeremiah avoiding the attack was about to retaliate when the treacherous sutherland used its slash harken to take out his assault rifle.
"If you want to know about what happened to the children of empress Marianne, you will stand down."
Jeremiah couldn't believe how this traitor had the gall to say that he knew about what happened to empress Marianne's children but the sure way he said it made Jeremiah pause.
Lelouch upon seeing Jeremiah pause ordered Kallen and the rest of the resistance cell to not attack him.
"You are outnumbered and outgunned, so i believe that it is better for you stand down and we can talk."
And sure enough, Jeremiah found himself surrounded by terrorists. Seeing this,he decided to stand down not because he couldn't get out of his predicament, he knew he could get out of this situation for he was one of the best pilots in the britannian army and had even been considered for the knights of the round, but because he couldn't shake the feeling that this traitor might know something.
'Just as planned' Lelouch thought as he watched Jeremiah stand down. He knew that mentioning the name of his mother would get him to surrender for he was that loyal to her not even caring about his life if it meant that he could even know a tiny bit of information.
Villetta watched confused as Jeremiah Gottwald, someone she knew would rather die than comply to the words of a terrorist, surrender when he heard about about the lady Marianne and her children names. And for the first time she actually tried to know who this mysterious man is.
"Who are you?! And how did you know that lord Jeremiah would surrender? And how do you know about empress Marianne?" Villetta fired question after question at Lelouch.
Lelouch just stared at her contemplating whether to tell her who he really is or not. He was almost tempted to not inform her but in the end decided to tell her because he will have her working with Jeremiah and he knew from experience that such secrets will in the end get found out.
"The reason i know is because My name is Lelouch vi britannia"
"You're a prince!" Villetta shouted surprised that a prince would help for Lelouch to ignore her, having more important things to do.
"Are you the leader?" Lelouch asked Ohgi even though he knew the answer but he asked anyway so they wouldn't get suspicious.
"Yeah"
"For following my orders, I'll give you the stuff inside of that train as a present. They're some tools that you can use in order to win. If you want to win, then use them and follow my command!"
Lelouch watched as the resistance cell were in awe as they saw the sutherlands in the cargo train.
"Woman in the glasgow!"
"Yes!"
"Stay where you are, you will be a decoy."
"Understood!"
"The status of your energy filler?"
"About 15 minute's worth"
"Then recharge it and then wait for your instructions"
"What about the pureblood bastard! why don't we kill him?!" Came the irritating shout of Tamaki just as Lelouch closed the comm.
'Who's the idiot that has a cargo train full of sutherland's move in a military operation area' Jeremiah thought as he watched in disbelieve as the terrorists found sutherlands in the cargo train and began to board it.
"Now then Jeremiah Gottwald, How about you come up here so we can talk?" Although it came in the form of a request, Jeremiah knew that it was more of an order which served to irritate him more than he was.
When Jeremiah stood up, all the terrorists aimed their weapons on him but an order from Lelouch made them lower their weapons with some voicing their dissatisfaction, most notably is Tamaki.
Jeremiah while being cautious began moving to the traitor's sutherland although he began having serious doubts about him being a traitor and more about him being a terrorist who was able to get his hand on a sutherland but that was impossible for no knight of britannia would ever leave his sutherland in a delicate operation like this.
Lelouch waited for Jeremiah outside the sutherland with Villetta by his side. While he was calm. She was fidgeting because as soon as Jeremiah see her, he will know that she was the one who attacked him. The only reason she wasn't outright panicking is because she knew that the man beside her was prince Lelouch and so Jeremiah wouldn't attack.
When Jeremiah arrived at his destination. He was surprised to see Villetta beside the sutherland. He knew then that the sutherland belonged to her. He was livid to discover that she was a traitor. He was so angry that he didn't notice the person standing beside her.
"So Villetta, you turned traitor against your own country!" Jeremiah shouted at her.
"N-No my lord, it is this man who is the real traitor." Villetta told Jeremiah while pointing at Lelouch.
Jeremiah then noticed Lelouch for the first time. "Who the hell are you?! And what is your unit?! You traitor!"
"Why don't you come out, so we can talk Jeremiah"
"Like hell, i will come out!" Jeremiah then moved his knightmare's arm so that it became over Lelouch head. "Now answer the questions"
Lelouch didn't even move and calmly replied "If you wish for answers about lady Marianne then come out"
Jeremiah was tempted to just take him and torture the information from him but he didn't have the patience for all this time and so against his better judgement he decided to get out and hear him but this didn't mean that he wasn't cautious and had his weapon aimed at the boy.
When Jeremiah got a good look at the boy, he staggered for the boy bore a huge resemblance to the lady Marianne and he knew without any doubt that he was in front of Lelouch vi Britannia.
Jeremiah once he got his bearing, knelt in front of Lelouch and lowered his head in shame and presented his weapon to Lelouch. "Please forgive me your highness, i am sorry not for only being unable to save your mother but also for how i addressed you. I am ready for any punishment you see fit" While telling him that Jeremiah didn't notice that his eyes began to water.
Jeremiah thought that prince Lelouch would have killed him using his weapon but he was surprised and delighted when Lelouch told him calmly" Stand up Jeremiah, I am not angry with you. It wasn't your fault"
"Your highness"
"I know who killed my mother, i need your help to get revenge for my mother. Will you join me Jeremiah Gottwald. Your Loyalty is needed"
Jeremiah couldn't believe it. Is he finally gonna serve one of the Vi britannia's again and not only that he will also help him in taking revenge against the person responsible for the death of lady Marianne.
"Indeed your highness, i will join you"
While Lelouch was happy that Jeremiah joined him, he felt bad manipulating him using his mother because while Lelouch didn't have a problem manipulating people but he disliked it when it came to the people he cares about.
And he cares about Jeremiah, his loyalty has wormed itself in Lelouch's heart and in no time, he grew up to see Jeremiah as one of the people that he can count on.
But he knew that Jeremiah's true loyalty lied with his mother and not him and so he wanted Jeremiah to be loyal to him before he tells him the truth about his mother's death.
"Now then, I have a battle to win against Clovis. Come on Villetta" And with this he went to the sutherland.
Villetta followed him still amazed to see Jeremiah Gottwald one of the most arrogant men
she knew actually kneeling and begging for forgiveness.
Once he and Villetta boarded the sutherland Lelouch began issuing orders to the resistance cell.
"P-1, are you ready?" Lelouch asked Ohgi.
"Can't you tell us who you are? At least your name."
"I can't do that, if i can intercept this signal, then Britannia might be able to. Anyway enemy sutherland will arrive in 23 seconds, probably 2, shoot them through the wall"
Before Ohgi could reply, Tamaki shouted " He is out of his mind! There is no way that will happen"
Ohgi ignoring Tamaki ordered everyone to double check their weapons and and true to what Lelouch said Kallen came with two sutherland hot on her heel.
"P-1, P-4, P-7! Move a hundred meter to the side and fire your slash harken towards 3 o'clock"
Lelouch smirked as the resistance cell followed his orders and as he saw the britannian forces falling for his strategy. He knew how the battle would go and that made it boring but Lelouch would never get bored of seeing the britannians losing because of his brilliance.
Although Lelouch hated helping Ohgi and the others, his hatred for them made him wish to kill them all rather than lead them but he decided that like how he will use Villetta that he will use them all for his ambition and then he will kill them all.
He then watched as Clovis ordered the break in the encirclement and how his strategy destroyed more than half of Clovis's forces when they came using the human wave attack strategy.
He watched as the resistance cell began celebrating their victory but Lelouch knew they didn't have time to celebrate for he knew that Suzaku and the lancelot are coming.
"Everyone, britannia will now deploy a 7th generation knightmare, so be ready for a fight" Lelouch told them destroying their happiness.
"Are you sure?" Ohgi asked him.
"Affirmative, this new model is arguably the most powerful knightmare ever and we will capture it" Lelouch informed them shocking everyone.
"What the hell, if this model is as powerful as you say! How are we supposed to capture it?!" Tamaki shouted in the comm.
"Although it is powerful but it is still in experimental stage and so it still lacks several key features like a weapon other than the slash harkens but that doesn't mean that it will be an easy fight because the pilot is one of the best." Lelouch informed them.
"Are you sure that we can win against this unit?" Ohgi asked him still doubting whether they can do it or not.
"Yes, now i want you to go to point seven there you will separate into three groups. One group will consist of the glasgow and 6 sutherlands will wait and meet it head on. The glasgow as a bait and the sutherlands to fire at it and stop its movement. 4 sutherlands will hide and separate into 2 in each group, they will attack when the knightmare stop moving from behind. The last sutherland will act as sentry to tell when the knightmare will come. Finally try to take out its landspinners." Lelouch gave them their orders.
"Everyone, a knightmare like nothing i've seen before is approaching at a great speed" Minami, the one who has the duty of the sentry, informed everyone.
"Very well, everyone be prepared for the upcoming fight for when we win, we would have delivered a huge strike to britannia" Lelouch told them receiving a chorus of""""""Yes"""""".
Point seven was a plain in shinjuku ghetto that was surrounded by building except in one side. It was a perfect place to lay an ambush and that is why Lelouch chose it.
Once Suzaku launched the Lancelot, he went to the coordinates that Cecile Croomy told him where the terrorists are. He wished that he didn't have to fight his countrymen but they made him fight them when they decided to be terrorists. Why couldn't they do like him and try to change britannia from within. He knew that it could be done. Afterall, he was chosen to pilot a knightmare. A feat only a knight of britannia could do and it wasn't any knightmare, it was the first 7th generation knightmare.
When he arrived at the place where the terrorists are, he was surprised to find 7 knightmares waiting for opened fire on him but he was able to stop the bullets using blaze luminous shield and continued to advance. He was however surprised when he saw four more sutherlands coming out of hiding attacking him from behind managing to destroy his both of his landspinners.
Just when he jumped and tried to deploy his slash harkens, two shots came hitting him making the lancelot plummet into the ground with Suzaku hitting his head in the process. The last thing he heard was a loud scream of "NO" before he fell unconscious.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Lloyd Asplund screamed as he saw his greatest invention get easily defeated by the terrorists and how they took it away with them before he fell unconscious from shock.
While Cecile appeared to be more composed, the truth was that she wanted more than anything to shout in anger at what happened. Like Lloyd, the lancelot was her life's work and to add more salt to the wound she was also concerned about what the terrorists would do to Suzaku.
Lelouch laughed manically when he saw the lancelot fall. In the previous timeline, the Lancelot and Suzaku were a thorn in his side but this time he managed to defeat them and not only that but also to steal the Lancelot. He knew that britannia's future technology depended on the Lancelot and so by stealing it, he would weaken britannia and his rebellion will be easier.
The whole time Villetta was watching in awe and disbelieve as the man behind her was able to annihilate the britannian force by using a small group of terrorists. It was scary in a way how someone young like him was able to sway the terrorists into letting him lead them. She was also thinking about her future, she could only hope that no one knew about her involvement with the terrorists or else she will never be a noble but if this man decided to control Areal 11 then maybe she will get a high position in the new liberated Area.
Jeremiah Gottwald was grinning like mad as he saw the britannia forces get annihilated. Oh he felt bad for all those people he knew that were dying. Afterall they worked with each other and he saw some of them as comrades but his loyalty was solely for the Vi britannia family. And so he was more proud to see how the son of the person he admired grew up. And if serving him required that Jeremiah even turn on his own country then he had no problem doing it.
