I do not own Code Geass or Gurren Lagann
A Few Days later Dai-Gurren Battleship
After their battle at the Saitama Ghetto the whole team was celebrating. The majority of the team was drunk for almost a full day. They managed to defeat the Goddess of Victory. The media didn't call it that because team Dai-Gurren retreated, but to them it was a great victory. The only one who wasn't there was Kittan, because he had to return home to his sisters. However, he said he would return whenever able. The celebration was cut short however.
Zorthy franticly ran to the cargo bay were people were partying. "Hay everyone you need to see this," Zorthy pulled out his laptop and a news footage was playing. Everyone gathered round to see what the commotion was
The footage had a female newscaster and a large building in the middle of a lake. "I'm here in front of the Lake Kawaguchi convention center hotel. The hotel jackers have identified themselves as the Japan liberation front. Members of the Sakuradite allocation meeting, most notably chairman James, were taken hostage, as well as sever tourist and hotel employees," the video then changed to a video of people in a store room with guns pointed at people kneeling on the ground with their hand on their heads. "This footage was taken by the perpetrators. In it you can clearly see Chairman James, as well as some students. The leader of the group claims to be general Kusakade of the now defunct Japanese military."
Kamina closed the laptop. "What was that for?" asked Zorthy.
"I've seen enough," said Kamina with anger. "These… people put innocent people in harm's way and have the gall to call themselves the good guys," thought Kamina. He then turned to look at everyone "All right everyone listen up. We need to load up and save those people ASAP."
"It's not that simple Kamina," said Zorthy. "The Britannian military will on our ass long before we make it to Lake Kawaguchi. In addition if we go in guns blazing their likely to kill all the hostages."
Kamina hated to admit it, but Zorthy was right. This type of fight couldn't be solved with brute force. "All right, you got another idea."
Zorthy flipped his laptop back open. "I'll get in touch with Rossiu, maybe I can get access to the hotel security system."
"You think that will help," asked Kamina.
"Maybe," said Zorthy with uncertainty in his voice. "If I can control the security system the Britannians might be able to get inside. Don't worry the JLF ain't dumb, they won't kill the hostages because if they do they'll lose their only shield." At least I hope so.
Several hours later
Zorthy was still working on his computer. "Have you made any progress?" asked Kamina with frustration.
"This ain't easy Kamina," said Zorthy. "The JLF cut off almost all external links. All I've managed to get is the camera system, and that just lets us see what's happening in certain areas."
Kamina was going crazy. The fact that there were people in danger and he couldn't do anything but wait and see was something that never sit well with him. He was good in the battlefield, give him enemy soldiers any day and he could tear them to pieces. But this sort of waiting around with nothing to fight. It pissed him off.
Kidd walked over to Zorthy and looked over his shoulder at the laptop. "I hear Cornelia's the one in charge of the forces surrounding the hotel," said Kidd. "I'm amazed that she hasn't charged in and sacrificed the hostages."
"Yeah," said Zorthy putting his hand under his chin," That is odd. Maybe there's more to this that we don't see."
Suddenly there was an alarm sound coming from Zorthy's laptop. Kamina rushed over to see what was happening. The screen switched back to the news footage. The footage was of four JLF members and a tied up hostage on the roof of the hotel. One of the JLF pushed the hostage until he fell from the roof.
"DAMN IT!" roared Kamina, punching the wall as hard as he could. The blow drew blood frm his knuckles but he didn't notice, he was to furious. "That does it, I'm tired of waiting. I'm going to get Gurren Lagann 2 ready to move at once. If you want to sit here and try and solve this with a computer fine, but I'm not just going to sit here any longer." No one responded to him. They all knew that trying to talk him out if it was pointless at this point.
Minutes later
Kamina had loaded Gurren Lagann 2 into a V TOL and was preparing to launch when Zorthy came in. "Zorthy, you're not talking me out of this." Said Kamina with a murderous tone.
"I just got informed that Zero is already there," Said Zorthy.
This was a surprise. Zero beat him there. "Are you certain?" asked Kamina. Kamina then jumped down to look at Zorthy's laptop. There was no doubt it was him, he had stolen a news van and was talking with Cornelia. It looked as if she was going to shot him, but instead she let him pass. "Why would she let him past her?" asked Kamina.
"I think I might know," said Zorthy. He changed the image on the screen to that of the one from earlier when the JLF showed all the hostages they had. "I didn't notice it the first time, but after some reviewing I saw it. There," Zorthy froze the picture and pointed to a girl with long pink hair and glasses. "If I'm not mistaken that Princess Euphemia."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuum, who's Euphemia?" asked Kamina.
"You seriously don't know," said Zorthy with surprise. "She's the third Princess of Britannia and Cornelia's younger sister."
"So that's why Old Princess bitch didn't sacrifice the hostages," said Kamina. "Guess there's a heart in her somewhere."
"Yea," said Zorthy with hesitation in his voice. "But do you really think we can trust Zero to get those people out."
"We'll have to," said Kamina. "In the meantime tell everyone to get to the bridge at once. Whatever happens I want everyone to see this."
"Understood," said Zorthy who then left to make the announcement.
"Don't disappoint my trust Zero," thought Kamina. "Or you'll pay for it."
Later on Dai-Gurren's bridge
Nearly everyone was gathered and watching everything on the main monitor. Zorthy was still on his laptop trying to find out what was happening, but all he could tell was that Zero was in the same room as general Kusakade. Unfortunately there were no cameras in that room.
Out of nowhere there was a huge explosion from right under the main bridge, and the Lancelot jumped out. "How the hell did he get there?" said Kamina. He then turned to Zorthy. "I thought you said there was some giant cannon under that bridge."
"There was," responded Zorthy. "He must have blown right through it."
While in the air the Lancelot fired an unknown rifle weapon and aimed at the very bottom of the hotel. The hotel then started to fall.
"Holy hell," said Kamina. "How did he do that?"
"He must have hit the foundation," said Zorthy. "That guy's good."
Just then the whole top of the building blew up. What just happened?" asked Kamina with anger in his voice. Were they dead? Did that bastard Zero kill them? Did Cornelia finally decide to get rid of the hostages completely? These questions and more rolled around Kamina's head.
"I don't know," said Zorthy with fear. "There must have been explosives hidden inside."
"DAMN IT!" yelled Kamina as he hit a nearby wall (again). "I should have been there. I should have-." Kamina was interrupted when the screen turned to an image of Zero.
"My dear Britannian's have no fear," said Zero. The image then turned to show all the hostages on rafts floating in the water. "All the hostages are safe and sound. I Zero return them to you unharmed."
"HE DID IT!" said Kamina with excitement.
The bridge was filled with all the people's remarks. "I can't believe he did it," said one crew member. "He really is a miracle worker," said another.
The screen turned back to Zero and a bunch of lights turned on revealing seven people all wearing black uniformed with black hats and dark purple visors. "People, fear us, or rally behind us," said Zero. "We are the Black Knights. We of the Black Knight stand with all those who have no weapons to wield. Regardless of whether they be Elevens or Britannians. The Japan Liberation Front cowardly took innocent Britannian civilians hostage, and mercilessly executed them. It was a meaningless act, therefore they have been punished. Just as Clovis was punished for ordering the slaughter of countless unarmed Elevens. We could not stand by and allow such cruelty to be carried out, and so we made him pay for his actions. I will not reject battle on a far and level field, but neither will I tolerate a one sided massacre of the weak by the strong. The only ones who should kill are those prepared to be killed. Wherever oppressors abuse their power by attacking the powerless, we shall appear again. No matter how mighty or formidable out foe may be." Kamina was awe struck by this. Maybe this was what he was missing. "Those of you with power, fear us. Those of you without it, rally behind us. We the Black Knight's shall be the ones to stand in judgment of this world."
The screen faded out after the speech was done. The other news reports had nothing as to what happen to Zero and the other Black Knight's. Kamina was quiet for the longest time. He simple stared at the screen, even thought there was nothing on it anymore.
Eventually Zorthy mustered up the courage to tap Kamina on the shoulder. "Kamina, are you all right?" the shakiness in his voice was obvious.
"That's it," said Kamina. He then spun around and looked to everyone. "I know what it is that team Dai-Gurren has been missing." Everyone looked to Kamina in confusion. "We need a big introduction." Everyone got even more confused. "Think about it. Nearly everything we've done has been covered up by the Britannians. We need to make an intro so big that they will never be able to cover it up. We need to show the world who we are, and what we stand for. We need to let them know that there's more than just the Black Knights out there. We need to show then that we are just as bad ass, if not more. My name may be well known, but we need to introduce every one of you to the world. We need an intro. Not for Kamina, but for team Dai-Gurren. WHO'S WITH ME?" everyone in the room raised their fist into the air and shouted in approval.
Next day at noon
"Are you seriously telling me there's nothing going on?" said Kamina.
"Sorry, but since the hotel jacking the JLF has stayed quiet," said Zorthy. He had been searching all over the internet for something to introduce Dai-Gurren, but nothing had happened that would match what the Black Knights did.
"Come one man, your killing me here." Said Kamina. "There's got to be something going on."
"I'm looking, I'm looking." Said Zorthy. Suddenly there was a "beep" sound from his laptop, and Zorthy's facial expression changed to that of surprise.
"Did you find something," asked Kamina as he peered over Zorthy's shoulder.
"Maybe," said Zorthy. On his laptop appeared a news article with a picture of a large cruise ship. The words, Pendragon Luxury Liner taken by pirates, written above it. "I know this cruise ship. I picked it up on our radar the other day. It seems that the boat was hijacked and the passengers and crew were taken hostage. This seems perfect."
"Are you sure," asked Kamina. "Do the Britannians even care about a boat load of civilians?"
"Apparently a dignitary from the Chinese Federation is on board," explained Zorthy. "He was going to Area 11 to discuss potential trade routes with Britannia. If the Britannians were to destroy the ship the Chinese Federation would see this as an act of war."
"All right then," said Kamina with his trademark 'devil-may-cry' grin. "Let's head out,"
A Few Hours later
Night has come and all was quiet. Kamina could see the ship through binoculars. It was only a couple of miles out. The group had picked up Kittan because then needed him there for the big into, though he could only stay until the morning.
"Alright," said Kamina throwing the binoculars to Kittan. "If this is anything like the hotel jacking then brute force is probably not the best idea. So, anyone got a plan."
No one spoke for a few moments until Zorthy steeped up. "I have a plan."
Minutes later Pirate captain POV
The captain of the pirates was a brutish man with spiky dark blue hair, and a sleeveless shirt that looked like it had been through a blender. He was relaxing on a chair in one of the ships VIP rooms with a martini in his hands. "This is the life," he thought in a pleased voice. Suddenly, one of his crew came rushing in.
"Captain," yelled the crew member. "There's a massive battle ship approaching."
The captain fell off his chair in shock. "Where the hell did it come from?" asked the Captain. His crew member did not answer.
The Captain ran out to the deck of the ship and saw the giant battleship. It was easily twice as big and as tall as the cruise ship. Right in front of this massive shit was a man with red sunglasses and a dark cape.
"I know you," said the Captain. "You're Kamina, right."
"Glad to see my reputation precedes me," said Kamina. "Mind if I come down for a little chat?"
"Sure," said the Captain with uncertainty in his voice. "What was this guy's angle?" thought the captain. "And for that matter where the hell did he get a battleship? And what was up with those weird ass glasses?"
Kamina very suddenly felt like punching someone in the nose, not really knowing why.
Kamina threw down a rope and proceeded to climb down on to the deck of the cruise ship. While this was happening a crew member whispered into his captain's ear. "Sir are you sure we should let him on board?"
"He's got a ship with big guns," said the captain with anger. "If he wanted to kill us he would. He probably doesn't want to hurt the hostages, so let's not give him a reason to change his mind."
Kamina approached the captain and he offered to take Kamina inside to talk. Kamina agreed. While this was happening Kidd was approaching the ship from underwater in full scuba gear.
Kidd POV
Kidd had come to the side of the ship and used large mechanical suction cups to climb up the ship. As he approached the top on of the pirates saw him and was about to yell when he was shot through the head and fell overboard. Iraak was on the Dai-Gurren giving what cover he could. Kidd got onto the walkway and removed his scuba gear.
"Kidd, can you hear me?" asked Zorthy over a communicator Kidd had in his ear.
"Yea, I can hear you," responded Kidd.
"Alright," said Zorthy. "Kamina has the captain occupied. I've hacked into the security system and will guide you to where you have to go. You ready"
Kidd pulled a silenced pistol out from a holder on his pants. "Ready,"
"Alright, head down the left corridor and continue straight for 100 feet," said Zorthy. Kidd did as he was told. "Now there should be a lit up room directly ahead. Do not go into it yet." Kidd leaned against the wall to the next hall. From there he could see this Victorian decorated hall with red carpets and hand crafted wood walls. Kidd almost wanted to puke from all the money Britannians waste. He steeled his stomach and represses his disgust making a mental note to not beat up the rich pricks till later. "Wait right there and I'll see what I can do about that camera."
Zorthy recorded a ten second loop of the hall way from the camera and started playing it to the primary feed. "All right Kidd, move out." Kidd stepped out into the hallway. "Kidd, you are now the invisible man," said Zorthy, leaning back in his chair, a satisfied look on his face. Kidd walked down the hallway very nonchalantly.
Kidd continued to follow Zorthys instructions until he came to a hall that had two guards standing outside a certain hallway entrance. "All right," said Kidd. "I'm at the door to the hostages. What should I do about the guards?"
"That's all you Kidd," said Zorthy. "Get creative. Just do it silently."
Kidd aimed his pistol at the closest guard. With one shot he dispatched the guard with a head shot, and just as the second one reacted he was also shot square in the head. Kidd ran to the room and opened the door. There were people crowding this one hall way, both in the rooms and out. Some wore white suits signifying they were crew members. Others were innocent families with children. "So, anyone feel like leaving. Or would you rather stick around?" no one argued with Kidd and followed him out.
Kittan POV
"Hay Kittan," said Zorthy. "Looked like Kidd got the hostages. Send out the gangplanks." Kittan went outside, through before doing so he put up a hood from a jacket he was wearing and put on standard sunglasses. He didn't want any Britannian hostages to identify him later. He then looked up to see Iraak. "Hay Iraak," said Kittan. "Is the walkway clear?" Iraak gave a thumbs up in response. Kittan walked over to a control panel and pulled a lever on it. A small bridge began to extend from the top deck of the Dai-Gurren down to the highest walkway of the cruise ship.
At almost the exact moment the bridge got to the walkway, Kidd and the hostages were quietly coming out from the door Kidd first entered through. Kidd directed the hostages onto the bridge and son after when in the other direction down the walkway.
"Kidd, where are you going?" asked Kittan over the communicator.
"I got this weird feeling that somethings not right," responded Kidd. "I'm going to check the cargo hold."
As Kidd Left on of the passengers came over to Kittan. "Are you guys with Cornelia?"
Kittan almost punched the guy, but was able to hold back his anger. "Why do you ask that?"
"That's seems to be what the pirates requested," said the man. "That Cornelia come down to negotiate personally."
"We're not with Cornelia," said Kittan. "It's a long story. Just know that we're here to save you and get in the boat." The man was reluctant, but soon relived that it was either trust him or return to the pirates and continued into the ship.
Kidd POV
Kidd managed to get into the cargo bay pretty easily, the security there was pitiful. At first all he saw were basic supplies like restaurant food, vending machine refills, Etc. However, as he went farther he found some crated that were unlabeled and about the size of a standard Knightmare. He carefully climbed on top of and opened one of these crates and inside were hundreds of explosive charges. Estimating that there must have been at least 3 dozen crates he had a horrifying realization.
"Zorthy, get Kamina out know!" shouted Kidd over the communicator. Kidd began to run as fast as he could to escape.
"Why?" asked Zorthy. "What's going on?"
"The cargo bay if full of explosives," responded Kidd. "This whole ship is rigged to blow higher than a kite."
"Alright," said Zorthy in a panic. "I'm on it."
Kamina POV
Kamina and the Pirate captain had been talking for a while in the VIP room. They were drinking and laughing like two old friends reminiscing on past exploits. The captain had been reluctant to surrender his name though. Every time Kamina asked he dogged the question and changed the subject.
Suddenly the ear piece communicator in Kamina's ear rang with Zorthy's voice. "Kamina, it's a trap, you have to get out of there now."
The captain noticed him and his face changed to an angry serious face. "Well," said Kamina in a nervous voice. "It's been fun, but I have to go." Before Kamina could get to the door two other pirates pointed their rifles at him.
"Sorry," said the captain, "But that's not going to happen." The other two pirates moved to be on either side of him. "Take that sword from him," ordered the captain."
The pirate on the right did as he was told, but as soon as he reached for Kamina's sword (which was on his back) Kamina grabbed the pirates arm, made him drop his rifle and threw him at the other pirate. Kamina then grabbed the dropped rifle and shot both pirates.
Kamina the pointed the gun at the captain. "You're a sick bastard," said Kamina. "Why would you kill all these innocent people?"
"These innocent people are Britannians," responded the captain. "Besides what difference does it make? As long as I get paid, I couldn't care less."
"Paid," said Kamina in surprise. "You're getting paid for this?"
As Kamina took a second to try and understand what the captain just said the captain pulled out a pistol and aimed it at Kamina. Kamina was just a second faster and shot the captain in the shoulder causing him to drop the gun and fall to the ground in pain.
Kamina heard running from outside the room. "Captain," one of the men cried from outside the door. Kamina charged out the door and ran in the other direction. The pirates running towards him tried to shot but they missed.
Kamina managed to make it to the upper deck and ran in the direction of the Dai-Gurren. He jumped off the upper deck and landed square on the bridge connecting the two boats. Kamina entered the Dai-Gurren and went to Zorthy. "What is going on?" yelled Kamina.
"Kidd found a bunch of explosives in the cargo hold," explained Zorthy. "This whole ship is set to blow." Zorthy's attention diverted for a second as a beep came from his laptop. "Damn it, one of Cornelia's ships is inbound. If I'm right the pirates will blow the cruise ship just as soon as their in weapons range. And at this range they'll take us with them."
"Then let's get out of here," said Kamina. "Are all the hostages on board?"
"Yea," said Zorthy. "But Kidd's still not back yet."
"We'll have to wait," said Kamina. "I'm not leaving him."
"But Kamina if we don't leave soon we'll-," Zorthy saw the seriousness in Kamina's face and decided to stop there.
"We. Aren't. Leaving him." Said Kamina in an uncharacteristically cold voice.
"Hay, its Kidd," cried Kittan. "He's on the walkway headed this way."
Kamina and the others ran out to see Kid running at full speed down the walkway. A bunch of pirates were chasing him. Kidd tried to shoot back, but shooting backward while on the run was difficult. Thankfully Iraak was there and sniped many pirates that tried to get close. As Kidd neared the Dai-Gurren the ships stared to pull apart causing the bridge to collapse. Kidd jumped from where the bridge was and was just barley not able to make it. Just as he hit the side of the boat Kamina jumped over grabbed the edge of the ship with one hand and Kidd with the other.
"You ain't dying today," said Kamina.
Most of the crew rushed over and either helped Kamina and Kidd up or shot at the pirates so they couldn't shoot Kamina and Kidd. As the two ships separated farther Kamina went to the bridge. By the time he got there the cruise ship was already about 10 miles away.
"We need to set off the explosives before Cornelia gets here," said Kamina. "Attenborough, do your thing."
Attenborough's eyes lit up. "At long last." He said with a smile. Attenborough aimed the two sets of cannons on the side closest to the cruise ship and open fired. The impact was massive almost half the ship was destroyed instantly. Only moments later the explosives in the cargo hold went off and there was an even bigger explosion that almost vaporized the ship. The explosion was so big that the Dai-Gurren shook violently, some people were even knocked off their feet. Attenborough laughed maniacally.
Next morning Japanese coast Cornelia POV
Cornelia was at the docks talking to the crew of the ship she sent out to meet with the pirates. "I can't believe the ship was destroyed," thought Cornelia. "The Chinese Federation is breathing down my neck because of this."
"Princess Cornelia," said a soldier rushing to her. "We just received an encrypted transition. They say they rescued the hostages from the cruise ship incident."
Cornelia and many other soldiers, some in Knightmares. Raced to the end of the docks to see the silhouette of a large ship approaching. "Do we know who they are?" asked Cornelia.
"The party is unknown," responded the soldier. "But the ship has been identified at the Uther battleship that went missing over a week ago."
Cornelia stared out and was thinking. "So the question is, who has it now?"
Kamina POV
Everyone was lined up like a bunch of soldiers in the hanger deck. Kamina walked down this line of men and looks as if he were inspecting them. In addition to his sword he was also carrying a bag. He then turned and faced the group
"Alright everyone," said Kamina. He then reached into the bad and pulled out a handful of his sunglasses in various different colors. "Put these on and get ready."
"Where do you get all these from?" asked Kittan as he grabbed a pair of yellow glasses.
"Ahh don't fret the details," said Kamina dogging the question.
"Hay Kamina," said Kidd from behind. "I put that flag up on top of the bridge like you asked."
"Excellent," said Kamina. "Hay Zorthy, is everything else ready?"
"Yep," responded Zorthy sporting his new tan brown sunglasses. "The feeds all ready to go at any time. I also got that music you wanted"
"Kamina," said Makken surprising the group. "The hostages have been loaded onto the boats. They'll head off as soon as we're close enough."
"Ok," said Kamina with a grin. "Everyone get into position. Dayakka steer the boat. Attenborough, keep close to the guns in case the Britannians try anything. "
Cornelia POV
"Viceroy," said one soldier. "You should get away in case they attack."
"We're already within their range," said Cornelia. "If they wanted to fire on us they would have by now."
A bunch of smaller boasts started to come from the Battleship.
"The enemy is attacking, prepare to engage." Shouted one of the soldiers.
"No hold on," said Cornelia looking through binoculars. "Those are the hostages. Their releasing them."
"Viceroy," said one of the soldiers. "You need to see this."
Inside her mobile command center the soldier showed her a screen with static. "This is on every channel." Said the soldier.
Suddenly the static disappeared to reveal a close up of Kamina standing on Gurren Laggan 2. He was on the top deck of the ship and a flag with a white background, and a flaming skull in the middle wearing Kamina's signature sunglasses. This was on every channel and on almost every screen in world.
(Play "Rap is A Man's Soul" AKA "Row Row Fight the Power")
"All right Britannia," shouted Kamina as the music continued to play. "I give these people back unharmed, hope you appreciate it."
The Britannians wanted to attack back but if they did they didn't have nearly enough firepower on hand to tack on that battleship and save the hostages.
"Listen up all you meat heads out there," said Kamina. He then raised his hand and pointed up. "Look up into the sky and tell me what you see. Well I see a ceiling. A ceiling of fear and oppression put there by the Britannians to keep control over all the people of this world." Suddenly the image zoomed out revealing a bunch of people all wearing different colors of Kamina's sunglasses. Kidd, Iraak, Jorgun Balinbow, Makken, and Zorthy were all standing in front. Kittan was a little more back because he was afraid of being recognized. "It's our job as Team Dai-Gurren, to smash out way through this ceiling to a better and brighter future. We've already proven how tough we are. We beat Cornelia in the Saitama ghetto, and even stole the mighty Uther Battleship. Weather you be Britannian, Japanese or whatever, if you truly believe in living free then stand beside us. If you want to control the hearts and minds of innocent people with fear, then cower in fear before us. We are Team Dai-Gurren.
Everyone on the deck simultaneously shouted "JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?"
Kamina grinned at them, his eyes positively demonic. "Well I'll tell you who we are. "WE ARE THE DRILL THAT WILL PEIRCE THE HEAVENS!"
With that the screen went black and the regular program was airing. At the same time the Dai-Gurren was headed back out to sea. Cornelia didn't even bother trying to stop them as there was next to nothing she could do. She glared after them, vowing that she would be the one to put a bullet in that idiot's skull.
2 hours later out at sea Dai-Gurren Battleship
Everybody was celebrating the great show they just did, but Zorthy was in the corner looking at his laptop. Kamina approached.
"You alright?" asked Kamina.
"Something about that cruise ship incident doesn't add up," said Zorthy. Kamina looked at him with a confused expression. "Those pirates were paid to capture and destroy that ship. In addition they requested a ship from Cornelia's fleet to negotiate. They were trying to frame Cornelia for that ships destruction."
"So," said Kamina. "They were probably trying to get back at her for some reason."
"No," said Zorthy. "The money needed to bribe pirates to get on bad terms with Cornelia would be high, not to mention assassinating a Chinese federation dignitary. This was something else."
"Aw come on Zorthy," said Kamina. "You're thinking about this too hard. Come and celebrate for a while." Kamina proceeded to return to his men and party.
"I don't know," said Zorthy. He then put away his laptop and walked over to where the others were partying.
Undisclosed location in Britannian Empire
It was a dark room that was barley lit. Five individuals sat around a conference table.
"It seems the plan failed," said the first one. This man was old and was constantly hunched over like he had a back problem.
"Ha, I figured it wouldn't work," said the second one. This man was a lot younger, probably in his late twenty's early thirties, and had light brown hair going down his head covering his ears. "Now that I think about it, wasn't this your idea Adian."
"What?" yelled the third one. This one was a woman with long blue hair and an eye patch over her left eye. "Are you saying I'm dumb, Cytomander."
"I think that's exactly what he was saying," said the fourth one. This man was middle ages, but was massive in size with short brown hair. "Wouldn't you agree, Guame?"
The first one responded. "I'd rather stay out of this Thymilph."
"Enough," said the last one at the end of the table. This man was middle ages, and very muscular looking. He had no hair on his head but had a black beard that made two curls on the sides of his chin. "Our plan to discredit Cornelia failed. That's the end of it. However they have no way to connect this to us. Let's prepare our next attempt rather that complaining about the failed one."
"Of course Lordgenome," said Guame. "Soon we pure bloods will rule this empire that the emperor and his children have tainted with foreign blood. Honorary Britannians, half breeds, these must be purged to maintain the true purity of our glorious nation."
To be continued.
