Disclaimer: I don`t anything nor anyone at least for now XD.
Rai was deep in thought for a while until he made a decision
"Zero, may I join the Black Knights again?"
"..." they stayed in silence for some time until Zero made his decision "Alright".
"Thanks and I`ll do everything in my power to assist you in rescuing Nunnally"
"I`ll ask someone to get you a room and some clothes" and Zero started to leave the room.
"Ok"
"...Oh, and one more thing. It`s good to have you back, Rai."
"Aah, you can count on me"

Some days later...
Zero was explaining the plan to attack the Brittania Palace in Area 11 and capture Princess Nunnally. There was some dissatisfaction and doubtful looks on some faces due to Zero`s recent actions.
"First Xing will lead the main forces and do a frontal attack while I`ll lead a small force and directly attack the palace and capturing the princess. Is there any questions?"
"Good, the plan will start in 3 hours. Dismissed. Rai, Sayoko and Rolo, I need to talk to you three."
"Understood" said the trio.
When the only people in the room were the four, Zero removed his mask.
"I`ve called you three here because I have a special mission for you. I want you three to infiltrate the palace and rescue Karen and Nunnally while we fight outside"
"You can leave it to me nii-sama"
"I`ll bring Nunnally-sama back Lellouch-sama"
Rai just kept looking down, not saying anything
"Is there something wrong, Rai?"
"Don`t worry, you can leave it to us" said Rai trying to cover his uneasiness.
Lellouch frowned with his answer, but continued.
"Okay, then you guys are dismissed"
As they turned to leave Lellouch called out to Rai.
"What`s it Lellouch?"
"What`s bothering you, Rai?"
"It`s nothing, really..." as he looked away
"Don`t fail me. I`m counting on you to save Nunnally" and he left the room, leaving Rai alone.
"You don`t have to tell me..." he murmured before going into deep thought once again.
'How am I going to face Nunnally...A part of me is happy she doesn`t remember about me, cause she will certainly be happier without a murderer like me near her. But another part longs for her to remember, to spend more days like those at school...Unh,unh, I need to stop thinking needless things and first rescue her'
"Nunnally..."
A few days later, during the attack on the palace
From inside his cockpit, Zero was coordenating the infiltration inside the palace.
"What`s the situation Sayoko ?"
A familiar voice resounded from the other side.
"I`m heading to where Karen-sama is supposedly being held. Rai-sama and Rolo-sama are moving to Nunally`s location"
"Understood, keep me informed"
"Yes, Zero"
Meanwhile, on another part of the building
"Rolo, how much longer until we reach Nunally?"
"ETA 2 minutes" (A/N:ETA = Estimated Time of Arrival)
"OK, let`s hurry"
But when they turned a corner, they were noticed by two guards
"Shi-" Rai was going to say, when suddenly both guards fell to the floor, dead.
When he got out of his shock, he tried to understand what happened.
"What the hell just happened..." but then he noticed Rolo holding a bloody knife in his right hand and widened his eyes. "Were you the one who did this?"
Rolo just ignored his question and started searching the bodies
'Something similar to this happened before...What was it'
"Let`s take their uniform" Rolo said, startling the thinking Rai.
"Ah..un, okay"
'I really need to be careful around this guy'
As they finished changing, they heard a transmission coming from the fallen soldiers radio.
"Bravo-02, your orders are to secure the shuttle for Her Majesty`s extraction. Delta-04, regroup with Delta team immediately"
After the transmission ended, they looked into each others eye and nodded.
"Yes, my lord" they answered in unison
"Rolo, head to the hangar. You are probably more capable of dealing with the personnel there. Ill join Delta team and search for Nunally"
Rolo then looked at Rai with cold eyes."...understood" and left in the direction of the shuttle.
"Nunally, we are coming for you"
And Rai started moving to Delta team`s location
After Rai infiltrated the team, they received news of enemies breaching into the the palace and were heading to Her Majesty`s room and they were ordered to guard it.
"Delta-04, go see if Her Majesty is safe" said the squad leader
"...uhn?" mumble Rai, startled by the idea
"Didn`t you hear me?" and Rai nodded "So what are you waiting for, GO?"
"YES, MY LORD!"
'If they weren`t using those helmets...'
When Rai arrived in front of her room, he started to sweat, his hands trembling from nervousness while he started turning the door knob.
And then the door opened, revealing a lonely figure standing in the middle of the room, looking trought the window and making a sad expression, one that didn`t suit her warm smile, the one Rai was so eager to see.
And after intaking the scene in front of him, Rai was able to say in a trembling voice "N-Nunally..."
