I do not own Code Geass or Gurren Lagann.

Kamina sat alone in the abandoned subway tunnels under Shinjuku for what seemed like hours. The Gurren Lagann 2 parked right in front of him, as if staring down on him. Kittan told him over the radio that the military would, most likely, try to forcibly take the Gurren from him in exchange for the 'assured' safety of the Japanese people and his own team. And considering Kittan's recent calls for him not to fight the Britannians at the moment, it was a pretty easy guess as to what Kittan wanted him to do.

"But damn it, I hate hiding. It is almost like something a coward would do…" Kamina thought to himself as he kicked a piece of rubble with his right foot. To tell the truth, Kamina did not think he could come up with a better hiding spot. Military hardly went to the ruined remains of Area Eleven's former subway system. And the tunnels provided almost direct routes to cities if they were not already collapsed. Kamina often debated with himself weather or not to make the tunnels Dai-Gurren's new hideout, but honestly the tunnels were only good for a temporary hiding spot and some transportation. If Dai-Gurren kept coming in and out of the subway, it would only be a matter of time before the military wised up and occupied it. Making the subways completely unusable.

"I guess we can hang out by those 'dock' things Leeron mentioned before. Or maybe we can go back to Shinju-something-or-other when the military leaves." Kamina thought while narrowing his eyes. This alone time was making him think a LOT more usual. Which was kind of weird because he never really put much thought into his plans. It was usually just a basic goal and he did whatever his gut told him to do in order to reach it. But now things have changed. Britannians were definitely smarter than the Beastmen he was used to fighting and they came in greater numbers. Which meant he had to better think out his usual plans.

"I hope those bozos come soon. This is getting boring." Kamina thought with a sigh. It should not take this long to ditch the military. Kamina had complete faith in the members of Team Dai-Gurren, but he could not help but wonder if they ran into trouble or worse, gotten themselves killed.

Such a thought made Kamina queasy. He could remember the bodies of the Japanese people in Shinjuku riddled with bullet holes and blood flowing out like a fountain. He remembered the sight of some limbs blown completely off and several feet away from their original owners. He even saw several kids bodies, some not that older than Simon, shot down without remorse by the Britannian soldiers. Kamina felt bile rise to his throat at the very memory of the massacre and promptly threw up on the floor. Now that the adrenaline from the battle had worn off, Kamina could remember everything he had witness in its complete and horrible glory.

"Those bastards have the nerve to call the Japanese 'monkeys'. THEY are the real beasts!" Kamina thought in disdain towards the military. He knew that not all Britannians were bad. His team members were proof of that. But a good number of them were arrogant and horrible people to whoever they thought to be weaker than them. Kamina sighed at his own dark thoughts. This place and the whole damn situation was starting to get to him….

Kamina's ears perked up as he heard the sound of Sutherlands heading his way. Kamina quickly got up and headed to the cockpit of the Gurren Lagann 2 on the off-chance it was not his team. But then, he saw a beam of light blink three times from the distance and Kamina sighed in relief. That was the signal Kittan said they would make to confirm it was them.

"Took you bozos long enough!" Kamina shouted as the group of Sutherlands stopped in front of him. The Sutherlands came in several different colors, each representing the individual members of Team Dai-Gurren. Kittan's was painted completely yellow, which apparently was his favorite color. Dayakka's painted his Sutherland a dull navy blue. Makken had his painted a dull grey while Zorthy's was painted a tan brown. Iraak's Sutherland was painted a dark green and Kidd's was the only one still painted purple, but it had red stripes painted on the front and back. Their cockpits opened and the members stepped out of their Sutherlands to walk to him.

"I'm surprised you actually stayed here for this long. We tracked the Gurren Lagann 2's signal to here, and I gotta admit this is a pretty good hiding spot." Kittan said while looking around.

"So you are Kamina?" A new voice called out. Kamina looked over Kittan's shoulder to see a group of Japanese people he had never seen before, but there was something about the redhead girl that was familiar…

"Please, just who the hell do you think I am?" Kamina asked while putting back on his shades and pointing to the sky. "The reputation of Team Dai-Gurren echoes far and wide! When they talk about its badass leader, the paragon of masculinity, they are talking about me! The mighty Kamina!"

Ohgi stared blankly at Kamina for a good two minutes in shock and somewhat disappointment. When Kallen told him that this Kamina was practically as big as a loudmouth as Tamaki, he thought she was exaggerating. After all, Kamina was supposed to be a fellow rebel leader, even if some of his ranks contained Britannians. And to be a leader meant that you had to be hard as nails and make tough decisions (Something that he was still working on). But Kamina practically gave out his identity for free, and even boasted about it. If this guy was truly the voice that saved his group from being slaughtered like pigs, then Kamina was really, really good at hiding his true intelligence.

Ohgi then coughed before saying, "Uh, my name is Ohgi Kaname. I just want to thank you for helping us out."

Kamina blinked in confusion before asking, "Huh? I helped you out?"

"Yeah, weren't you the ones who gave us instructions Kamina?" Kallen asked while looking at Kamina with an utmost serious stare. Kamina was one of the few logical candidates to be the voice. Hell, he was their only candidate right now.

Kamina looked at Kallen for a few seconds before tilting his head and asking, "Uh, who are you again?"

Kallen's jaw literally dropped at that question. It had only been a couple of months since they last met and she still remembered him, yet the jerk could not even recall her? What the hell! "It's Kallen Kozuki you baka! I'm the one who helped out you amnesiac ass a few months ago!"

Kamina's face brightened and he snapped his fingers as if figuring something out. "Ah! So you're that babe from before! Sorry Kallen, not that great with remembering names."

Ohgi kept staring at the interaction and shook his head. No way was this guy the voice. Way too damn stupid.

"Gah!" Tamaki's voice yelled out, making the three turn their attention his way. Tamaki was pointing at the damaged yet still recognizable Gurren Lagann 2 with a shaking finger shouting, "T-that's the fucking Knightmare that kicked our asses!"

Kallen squinted her eyes to better see the Knightmare in the barely lit tunnel before taking a step back saying, "It's definitely the same model, but it was not the one from Shinjuku."

Tamaki then whiled to Kamina and shouted, "Okay asshole, how much are the damn Britannians paying you? How much did they give for you to sell out your own people you bastard!"

Kamina quickly strode up and got in Tamaki's face saying, "Look pal, I am NOT one of those bastards and I never will be! I got my Gurren fair and square by stealing it from them!"

"Stealing it does not mean you got it fair and square…" Ohgi thought to himself while Kallen put her hand over her face and groaned. She always dreaded the day these two would meet….

"Then prove it you son of a bitch!" Tamaki shouted back, glaring directly into Kamina's eyes before feeling a tap on his shoulder. Tamaki whirled around to see the smirking face of Leeron.

"I see you boys got into trouble with the Lancelot." Leeron purred out, making Tamaki take a step back in shock at Leeron's sudden arrival.

"That's what the white Knightmare is called? How do you know that?" Ohgi asked while Kallen leaned in, slightly curious as to what this 'Lancelot' could do.

"Oh, it's the seventh generation of Knightmare. I know because I helped develop it. To be honest, I wasn't expecting Lloyd to give it a test drive so soon. We never did find any suitable pilots." Lloyd mused before turning his head to the Gurren Lagann 2. "And I have to honestly say that I was shocked that Kamina could pilot the Gurren Lagann 2, formerly known as the Lancelot 1.0. Not only that, but the Gurren Lagann 2 runs on a completely different power source that actually fixes the Gurren's former power consumption problem. I am still studying what it actually is! Oh, it is all just so fascinating!"

Ohgi took an unconscious step back at the last part. Something was definitely up with this guy…

"How do we know that you are not just saying some bullshit?" Tamaki asked defiantly, only to recoil as Leeron sauntered over a little too close to his personal space.

"Oh, but I worked day and night tinkering away with it. You wanna give these fingers a dexterity test?" Leeron asked while lifting his hand, the fingers somehow waving. "You never know, you might just…" Leeron then narrowed his eyes while giving a creepy lustful grin. "…Like it."

"GHAAAA!" Tamaki screamed like a little girl while running away.

Kamina, Ohgi, and Kallen just stared at Leeron who just shrugged and sighed out, "Some boys just can't take a joke."

Kallen could not help it as a giggle came from her throat before she burst out laughing. But after realizing what she was doing she promptly stopped and composed herself.

"Well, at least one of you can take a joke." Leeron said before winking at the three. "Ta-ta huns! I gotta help out with the repairs."

As Leeron walked off Ohgi then said, "That guy really is… something."

"He's the best damn mechanic I've ever seen, and he is always loyal to the team so that makes him okay in my book." Kamina aid with conviction (Personal feeling of Leeron's creepiness aside).

"How can you trust Britannians?" Kallen asked, disdain very noticeable in her tone.

Ohgi frowned at this, even though he knew it was coming, and said, "Kallen…"

"No Ohgi! I want to know how he can be so damn willing to take in those… those monsters and expect them to be loyal to him! How can you trust them, knowing all that they have done to Japan? To its people?" Kallen shouted out, making everyone stop whatever it was they were doing to look at the three.

Kamina looked down at Kallen before saying, "The members of my team never did anything to Japan. That was the military when it invaded. They never killed anybody other than soldiers. They are willing to risk their lives and follow me, even if some of my plans are crazy. That is enough reason for me to trust them."

"T-that guy really has that much faith in us?" Kittan asked himself while closing his cellphone. Up until now he was letting his sisters know he was all right. But now he could feel the complete and utter honesty in Kamina's words, and his head dropped slightly down. "And up until now we thought of him more as an annoying brawler than a leader…"

"That's not a good enough answer!" Kallen fumed out while glaring at Kamina who sighed while rubbing the back of his neck.

"Look, because they believe in me, I can believe in them. And because they believe in me, I can believe in myself. That's enough reason as far as I am concerned." Kamina sighed again before saying seriously, "Look, I don't expect you to understand but if they are willing to lay down their lives for the chance to make a free Japan I will take them in whether they be Japanese or Britannian. Besides, wouldn't judging and hating someone because of their race make you no better than the military?"

Kallen took a step back at the subtle accusation. Her? No better than those damn monsters just because she was trying to be cautious? Who the hell did this idiot think he was to judge her like that? "You asshole!" Kallen yelled out before stomping away to the other members of her group, who gave her a wide berth of space.

Ohgi sighed before saying, "I am really sorry about that. She should not have questioned how you run things…"

Kamina put his hand up to stop Ohgi from finishing. "Nah, it's fine. She just needed to get it out of her system. No hard feelings."

"Okay, if you say so." Ohgi said with a nod. "Be that as it may, we need to find a new place to hide out. I don't want to impose ourselves on your group."

"Alright, if your sure." Kamina said with a nod of his head. "But if you need any help, give us a heads up. Team Dai-Gurren will come over to save your asses."

Ohgi nodded with a slight smile on his face before shaking Kamina's hand. Ohgi could not help but feel that with Kamina's help, their band of rebels could change the world.

Later That Night (Stadtfeld Manor):

Kallen quietly opened the door to her luxurious 'home' before closing it just as quietly. It had taken her some time to slip through Tokyo unnoticed by the general Britannian populace and most importantly the military, but she was able to get to the Stadtfeld estates just a bit shy of midnight. Lady Stadtfeld was now most likely asleep, probably not even caring if she were to die in a ditch while gone. And that woman, her pathetic excuse for a mother, was most likely in her apartment also asleep. Kallen did not even care if she worried for her or not. The only one left was…

"Kallen." A deep voice called out calmly, making Kallen curse. Of coarse her father, Lord Benjamin Stadtfeld, would be the only one up at this hour. Kallen then walked over to the family study. It was a very stereotypical Britannian study. Shelves filled with books surrounding the room and a lit fire place right in front of a chair. In that chair was her biological father. Like her, he had red hair and dark blue eyes. He had a light, all over beard, which made his slightly box-like face appear more slender. He wore rectangular glasses and the type of suit one would see on most nobles.

"Yes Lord Stadtfeld?" Kallen asked without any hint of emotion in her tone.

"You were out there again." It was not a question.

"I was Lord Stadtfeld. I was attempting to aid my people who were being butchered like cattle." Kallen responded, some frustration escaping in her tone.

"And you could have been one of them. I have contacts within the military Kallen. I know what happened in Shinjuku. It is a miracle that you were not killed before Prince Clovis called the cease-fire. For the love of God Kallen, I specifically ordered you not to be associated with your brother's 'friends' anymore!" Benjamin said in a raised voice, making Kallen shake with fury.

"I will not stop Lord Stadtfeld! No matter what you say or what you do to stop me I will not let Oni-chan's death be in vain!" Kallen yelled before running off to her room, leaving Benjamin alone.

"If we were still together as we once were, what would you have me do… Moka?"

Elsewhere:

Lelouch retched once more in the toilet, spitting out the remnants of bile in his mouth before flushing. He quickly went to the sink and turned on the water before splashing some into his face. He looked himself in the mirror, a horrified face staring back thinking, "I-I killed him. I killed Clovis! I killed him when he was defenseless!"

He put his shaking right hand on his face as an effort to calm himself down. He had been able to escape the G-1 base by continuing to wear the soldier uniform and sparingly using his new power. It was only when he had returned to Ashford Academy that the full scope of what he had just done hit him like a ton of bricks. He began hyperventilating in panic, thoughts of being caught and captured racing through his head, and worse thoughts of his own friends selling him and his dear defenseless sister Nunnally out passed through his mind. He had gotten within the clubhouse barely making a noise. He did not want to wake Nunnally, not while he was like this. As soon as he had gotten into his room he had stripped off the soldier uniform and threw the very gun he had used to kill Clovis on the other side of the room, as if it were the most revolting thing he had ever touched.

"No! Get a hold of yourself Lelouch!" Lelouch thought to himself while taking deep breaths. "Clovis was a monster! He ordered that damn massacre just to find one bound and defenseless girl! He was not the brother you used to know!" As his breaths became calmer, he kept thinking that line of thought. "And do not forget the plan. On that day, you resolved yourself to crush Britannia by any means necessary. You knew that one day you would have to kill your half-siblings to destroy the monster that is Britannia. Is your resolve so weak that one death will break it?" Lelouch's breathing then returned to a normal pace before he shut off the sink.

He then walked to his bed and climbed in thinking, "…It is not. Clovis was a necessary death to create a perfect world free of the corruption of Britannia. I must remember…"

"…It is all for you Nunnally." Lelouch muttered before drifting off into a dreamless sleep.

Note- Hey, I just wanted to make this 'aftermath' chapter just to resolve as to what happened to Kamina and the others after the Skirmish of Shinjuku. I really hoped you liked Dai-Gurren's interactions with Kallen, Ohgi, and yes, even Tamaki. I am a bit worried I did not do that great on this chapter, but that is up to you. And to make sure you review, Jeremiah!
