Neither I, Mandalore the Freedom, or Gundam Knight Chris own (Except our OCs and their Gundams) Code Geass, Gundam, Mass Effect Etc. Those belong to their respective owners.
The rise of a new faction will have many outcomes.
But the return of an enemy thought dead will bring nothing but anger.
(Cue Daybreak's Bell by L'Arc-en-Ciel)
(Instrumental)The 00 Epyon floats through space with trails of blue light falling from its eyes before it flies towards Earth as the title appears before disappearing in a wave of particles.

(Negai yo kaze ni notte yoake no kane wo narase yo) The Infinite Justice is riding atop its flight unit and firing its beam rifle at a Glasgow before the camera shifts to the Avenger, with the Guren Mk II, tossing away its beam magnums before raising its hand and summoning the Unicorn and the Banshee.

(Mirai wa dare ni mo uchiotosenai)The camera shifts to Alex, John, Braydin, Aiden, and Ben before it shifts to the Origin and the Epyon on opposite sides of each other with their beam sabers pulled out before they cross as the main cast appears in front of the two mobile suits.
(End of Opening)
Federation underground base
Walking through the halls was Dexter along with Jango and Boba Fett as they made their way to the command center where once they enter they see everyone running around.
"What the hell is going on?" Dexter asked curious.
"Sir, we just detected an unidentified ship entering the system. It's heading fast to Earth's orbit!" Shouted one of the technicians.
"Get me a visual on it." Dexter said before a hologram appeared showing the vessel was a Kom'rk-class fighter/transport.
"Can you find its destination?" Jango asked.
"Yes sir." Said an operator as he began working on a console.
"By the estimation of its speed and trajectory, it's heading for… Japan?" The operator said.
"Why would it come here?" One of the operators said confused.
"It could be Death Watch sending back up." Said another.
"We won't be able to send fighters due to its distance from Britannian controlled territory and if we did send some then the Britannians may find us." Said Dexter as he crossed his arms as his eyes narrowed at the ship.
"Any word from John?" Dexter asked.
"He just contacted me a few minutes ago." Said Braydin as he entered the room wearing his armor while his helmet is at his side.
"It also appears that Milly was able to bring Kallen as well." Braydin said causing Dexter to groan and rub the bridge of his nose.
"Great, just what we need. Any word about the JLF?" Dexter said once he removed his hand.
"Bad news actually. It seems that Kusakabe is going along with… along with Death Watch." Said Braydin before Dexter's head moved so fast in his direction that one would think he would have a whiplash.
"What the hell?! Death Watch?! This is not looking good." Dexter said before he puts a hand to his head.
"From what I can tell there is they're sending in 22 soldiers while Kusakabe will have only 23 with him included so that will make the enemy count to 45 soldiers as well as 4 to 5 Glasgows and a prototype weapon known as the Raiko." Said Braydin.
"And good news for us all!" Chris came in with a big grin on his face while Ben was walking behind him with both men wearing their power armor.
"What's the good news." Both Braydin and Dexter say at once.
"The armor is complete!" Shouted Chris causing Dexter and Braydin to widen their eyes in surprise.
"What?!" Both shouted.
R&D Lab
Dexter, Braydin, Ben, Chris, Aiden, Alex, and the recently arriving John stood in the room seeing seven sets of armor standing in front of them.
The first armor looked like Halo 4 armor which was black and green with most of the armor being Venator while the helmet was an EVA and there was the Mythosaur skull on the visor.
The second armor was an ARS but it was colored white and the lights were blue instead of green.
The third armor another Halo 4 armor but it was a Pathfinder which was colored grey and blue with a pitch black visor.
The fourth was in appearance to the Halo 4 War Master armor but was colored blue and red with the visor white.
The fifth armor was another ARS but looked like it was meant for a woman and was colored silver with purple lights.
The sixth armor had the appearance to the Halo 4 Soldier armor but was painted white and red with a rangefinder attached as well as a kama.
The last armor had the appearance to the Halo 4 Raider armor which was black as night with a blood red visor.
"Whoa… how long have you been working on these?" Braydin asked.
"Oh we've been working on them since we arrived and I was only able to finish mine and Ben's armor first but now that you're here we can finish the final adjustments. Though since Alyssa and Jarod aren't here they will have to wait." Chris said.
All five look at each other uneasy before Dexter sighs in irritation and went first.
"Alright what do we have to do?" Dexter asked.
"Just climb onto the pad, hold the handles and don't let go until the suit is on." Chris said.
Dexter groans and walks to the pad and thought 'Hopefully Jarod and Alyssa took our advice about Revan being a slave driver.'
Tython
"What the hell is wrong with this guy?!" Jarod asked as he and Alyssa were being chased be Flesh Raiders uphill but when one leapt at them Alyssa spun around kicking the creature in the face and knocking it into its companions causing all of them to fall down before they started rolling backwards downhill and giving the two a chance to escape.
"Thanks!" Jarod said still running.
"Hopefully this is worth it." Alyssa said.
Area 11
Kusakabe walked through the streets of a ghetto with 22 men as well as 5 Glasgows and the prototype Raiko gun.
"Who are we supposed to meet here sir?" Asked one of Kusakabe's men.
"We are here to meet someone who said they could get us the attention we deserve." Said Kusakabe.
"And you shall get it." A voice said and Kusakabe turned to see men wearing the armor of Death Watch with one of them having a custom made armor while another didn't have a helmet on showing that he had a burned scar on his face.
"Are you the ones that said we can get attention for the Japanese Liberation Front?" Kusakabe said.
"Yes we are." Said the man wearing the custom armor.
"Is there any reason why you would want to help us?" Kusakabe asked.
"All we want is to search of one man and one man only."
Kusakabe raised an eyebrow in confusion and said "Who is this man?"
The scared man smirks before saying two words "Jango. Fett."
Kawaguchi hotel
On a train heading away from the settlement dressed in casual clothing instead of school uniforms was Milly, Nina, Shirley, and Kallen.
Kallen was looking out the window towards the Acclamator-class assault ship as Dexter told her it was called.
She and the other resistance members were given a tour of it and were told that it was mostly used as a transport and there were other class of ships though the only way to get the data was if the Swords of Heaven believed they could be trusted.
As the train reached the station they got to the hotel with little to no problem though Kallen stopped and thought she felt some waves of anger before she looked up towards an area which was covered by shadow and thought she saw someone but shook it off as paranoia not knowing that she was being watched.
Up above them on the rafters were two Death Watch soldiers which stared down from their position.
"Did you see that?" Asked one of the two soldiers.
"Yeah we were almost caught." Said the second.
"We should report this to alor." Said the first.
Back with the girls they walked through the halls enjoying the time they were having and Kallen for once was actually having fun.
Kallen had a true smile on her face enjoying what she was doing before the sound of crashing is heard.
Kallen spun around to see to her surprise 3 men wearing Mandalorian armor but it was the helmets that made her heart stop cold. They were the helmets used mainly by Death Watch.
"Stop right there!" Shouted a security guard only for a red bolt to strike him in the chest killing him causing screams to go through the crowd.
"Alright move or else we'll shoot you too!" Shouted one of the men.
Kallen and everyone else did what they said and made their way to the store room where Kallen saw Kusakabe as well as two men with one wearing custom Mandalorian armor and the other wearing armor minus a helmet showing his head which had a burn scar on the left side of his face.
Kallen's eyes widen in recognition because of some data that the Federation gave the resistance about Death Watch. The men she was seeing was none other than the leaders of Death Watch Tor and Pre Vizla.
The later noticed the look and thought 'Why is she looking at us like that? Has she seen us before?'
As he thought that Kallen thought 'Dexter warned me about these men but I'd never thought that they would come here.'
Unknown location
Lelouch in his Zero costume minus the helmet stood in front of Chris who was wearing his power armor who had his helmet off and Braydin who wasn't wearing his power armor and had his helmet in hand.
"So you can help Nunnally regain her sight and legs?" Lelouch said.
"Yes but the only compensation we want is that you tell us about any mission you will commit, all tactical data of the enemy, and to lend us some of your men when we request." Said Chris.
"I think that would be fine… this is for Nunnally." Lelouch said as a small smile graced his lips.
"Though there is one more thing. If the need arises I will need to ask that you allow me to take your place should anything happen." Chris said making Lelouch look at him confused.
"We had a vision that your identity will be revealed to by someone and that we want to make sure that you remain safe away from them and what better way than with a double." Chris said causing Braydin to shake his head.
They hear knocking and they turn to the door as Narsil puts his helmet on and Rebellion's helmet slides from the suit onto his head and Zero puts his mask on.
The door opens to reveal Ohgi with Yamato who was wearing his armor and cloak where both see Narsil standing there while Rebellion was next to Zero who said "Well what are you waiting for? Come in!"
"As of now this will be our hideout." Zero said gesturing to only him and the resistance members due to the fact that the two Swords of Heaven members have their own.
"So you think joining up with us is a good idea?" Ohgi asked.
"Yes. We're comrades, after all." Zero replied as the other resistance members walked in.
"Holy cow! So what is this?" Tamaki said looking around.
"May I ask how you came by this?" Ohgi asked.
"I borrowed it from a rather libertine nobleman who indulges my requests." Said Zero.
"You asked for it? Just like that?" Ohgi said surprised.
"Don't worry. No strings attached." Said Zero smiling under his helmet.
"Woah check it out it even has a second story." Said one of the members.
"It's even got a T.V." Said Yoshikitaka Minami who turned it on.
When the T.V. turned on it was on the news where they heard a news reporter say "How are things looking at the scene?"
"Huh?!" Said Yoshikitaka in surprise.
"I'm here in front of the Lake Kawaguchi convention center hotel. The hotel jackers have identified themselves as both the Japanese Liberation Front and Death Watch." Said the news woman.
"DEATH WATCH!?" Narsil shouted in rage causing many to flinch.
Narsil moved to the TV to get a better look and it was showing the store room.
"Members of the Sakuradite allocation meeting most notable chairman James, were taken hostage as well as several tourists and hotel employees." Said the news woman.
The screen changed to show the store room with every civilian in there with their hands behind their heads as well as JLF soldiers and Death Watch warriors aiming rifles or pistols at them.
"This footage was taken by the perpetrators. In it you can clearly see Chairman James, including some students." Said the news woman as the camera went to show them.
"Kallen!" Ohgi shouted seeing one of their members in there.
"The leader of the group claims to be Lt. Col Kusakabe of the now defunct Japanese military."
JLF Hideout
In the hideout Tohdoh had a look of anger as he smashed a fist into his leg shouting "That imbecile!"
Federation base
"While the leader of the group Death Watch are as they say Tor and Pre Vizla of clan Vizla." When she said that it caused Jango, and almost everyone to freeze.
"Tor… Vizla?" Jango quietly said before his face started to gain a look of pure rage.
"Wait where are you going?!" Shouted a voice and they turn to see Dexter putting on his ARS which slid onto place.
"I'm going there to save a comrade… and kill some Death Watch." Said Dexter as the helmet was placed on with the face open.
"But you haven't adjusted to the AI yet?!" Shouted a technician.
"If I don't then people will die!" Shouted Dexter as he closed his helmet.
"If you're going then I'm going to." Said Jango as he placed his helmet on.
"You want a shot at Tor? Be my guest." Dexter said before he entered a pod which Jango did the same.
"Don't leave me out of this." John said as he finished putting his power armor on and then began entering another pod.
"Wait what are you doing?!" Another man said only to grunt as the pods began to move.
"We forgot to mention that the pods weren't yet ready since they have a tendency to… stall." Said Ben.
There was silence for the next ten seconds before the base shook as Dexter shouted "SON OF A BITCH!"
Later that night
Inside the hotel Euphie even though she had the Knight of Nine with her as protection was still frightened by what was happening as well as the so called Death Watch which from what she remembered Cornelia saying that from the data given to her by the so called Mandalorian Bounty Hunter Jango Fett were an extremist group that weren't truly Mandalorian.
In another room Kusakabe sat with a look of anger on his face while Pre who had his helmet on the table and Tor Vizla sat in different seats.
"They're not following our demands!" Kusakabe said with rage.
"I think it's about time we show them we mean business." Said Pre as he stood up grabbing his helmet.
"What are you planning?" Kusakabe asked curiously.
"I think I know what my friend is saying." Tor said standing up with both Death Watch leaders smirking while Pre put his helmet on.
2 minutes from the hotel
Flying towards the hotel was 3 LAAT/i and 2 LAAT/c but they were escorted by 4 RGM-89 Jegans.
Inside one of the LAAT/i stood Narsil since he went to a hidden location for pickup and transportation to the Britannian line.
Inside the LAAT/i Narsil wasn't alone because with him was Delta Squad as well as 3 Mandalorian Shock Troopers, 4 Clone Troopers from the 593rd, Commander Jet, and Alastor who wore his Mandalorian armor.
"Alright remember that we are here only to help with the hostage situation and nothing else so no engaging the Britannians unless I give the word." Said Narsil and they all nodded their heads in acknowledgement.
In the G-1 Cornelia had a look of anger at feeling helpless while her sister was inside but hoped that they didn't find her.
"Milady we just detected 6 Federation air transports and 4 airborne Knightmares approaching." Said Darlton and Cornelia was surprised and thought 'Is it possible that they came because of Death Watch?'
Cornelia left and made her way where she arrived to see the drop ships but to her surprise that the 2 LAAT/c were carrying with one carrying 4 AT-XTs and the other carrying the Lancelot Club and 2 AT-XTs.
"So they are the ones who took the Lancelot Club!" Lloyd shouted.
The LAAT/i landed and the side doors open where the first out was Narsil and its passengers.
The Britannians watching were surprised by the appearance of the Federation as well as the machines especially the walkers.
"What the hell are they doing here?" Cornelia quietly said.
"What shall we do milady?" Guilford asked.
"This is the Sword of Honor we're dealing with and knowing him he will likely be here for Death Watch." Cornelia said while inside the Lancelot Suzaku was watching what was happening.
"What is the Federation doing here?" Cecile asked while her eyes were looking at the many men in armor.
"What the?" Suzaku said noticing something happening on the top of the tower.
Suzaku zoomed in seeing what was happening.
"Sir!" Sev shouted getting Narsil's attention as he hands him his DC-17m which was had the sniper rifle attachment.
Narsil looked through and his eyes widen in horror as he watched Pre instruct 2 JLF soldiers and 2 Death Watch troopers as they toss a civilian off the building.
"Vizla!" Narsil growled as he tossed the rifle back to the commando.
"So you do know them?" A familiar voice said as Narsil turned to see Cornelia walking up to them with her knight and 2 Britannian soldiers.
"Yes I do. The leaders of Death Watch Tor and Pre Vizla of the Mandalorian clan Vizla… a disgrace to the Mandalorian warrior clans that's what they are." Narsil growled.
"Is there anything we should know about them?" Cornelia asked with narrowed eyes.
"They won't waste an opportunity to achieve victory and if Death Watch is here then they have a way to escape and its most likely with a Kom'rk transport... and those are fast even for transports." Narsil said narrowing his eyes behind his helmet.
"Your highness they just released another statement!" Said a soldier as he played the statement on his PDA.
"Our demands have gone unanswered, there for we will throw one hostage from the roof every 30 minutes until our terms are met and depending of our situation the numbers of hostages may grow! For the sake of the hostages, negotiations had better be in good faith!" Said Kusakabe before Pre walked up behind him as the message cuts out.
"I believe Vizla came up with that." Narsil said crossing his arms.
"You've seen this happen before?" Cornelia asked.
"No but Death Watch is known to be the most evil of all the terrorist groups. The man you know as Jango Fett saw their evil first hand when he was eight years old when they killed his parents, kidnapped his sister, and almost killed him but had it not been for his father figure Jaster Mereel then he would be dead by now. Jango Fett is an honorable man and will do what he needs to do in order to make sure that people don't suffer under Death Watch ever again." Narsil said as he zeroed in on their location.
Federation base
"God dammit how long until these pods activate!" John shouted smashing his pod and like clockwork the engines began to burn up.
"It seems they are starting now." Dexter said as the pods began shooting off out through some silos and when they exited they began flying to their destination.
"What is our ETA to the tower?" Dexter asked.
"From our current location it will take half an hour." Said John.
"Just thirty minutes… let's hope we make it in time." Said Dexter said fearing for anyone else who would be thrown off.
Hotel
30 minutes later
Kallen sat with her friends as she watched them before she noticed that one of the members of Death Watch was eyeing her with suspicion and thought 'Why is he watching me like that? What makes him so suspicious of me?'
"An Eleven…" Nina squeaked bringing Kallen out of her thoughts as she saw a JLF soldier in front of them before said soldier glares at Nina.
"We're not Elevens, we're Japanese!" The soldier in question shouted, pointing his gun at the black haired girl.
"Looks like she needs a little reeducation." Another added with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
"Alright, we'll take care of it, now leave her alone!" Milly embraced her friend protectively and Shirley managed to gather enough courage to glare at the two Japanese soldiers. Kallen did the same thing, despite her intention to keep appearance.
"It seems all of you are in need of that." A third soldier chuckled. "Take them away; we have a lesson to teach."
BDOW
The hostages flinched at the gunshot and all eyes were on the door as a Death Watch trooper who was wearing the same armor that Pre's Death Watch wore instead of Tors.
"I don't think you have the authorization for that." Said the trooper in a tone that wasn't pleased.
"What's it to you?! You're just a bunch of terrorists like the re-"
BDOW-BDOW-BDOW
Three bodies hit the ground and they were of the JLF soldiers who planned to… 'teach' the girls a lesson.
"I will appreciate it if you didn't do something like that or say that in front of my face." A familiar voice said as Pre Vizla who had his helmet on walked in with 4 Death Watch troopers.
"Vizla sir I had the situation under control." Said the trooper who fired the shot in the air before he holstered his pistol.
"I understand that but they wouldn't understand anyway… they are primitives after all." Pre said turning his face to the others before his sight landed on a certain princess.
"Well what have we here?" Vizla said walking through the crowd scaring some before he was in front of Euphie and Nonette.
"Princess Euphemia li Britannia and the Knight of Nine Nonette Enneagram. What a pleasure." Vizla said and the two could feel the smirk under his helmet.
"What should we do with them?" One of the Tors troopers said.
"Take the princess to a separate chamber and keep her on close guard." Vizla said before he turned to the trooper at the door and said "You shall take them… though I think it is about time we decided who the next… lucky winner is." Vizla said looking around before his sight landed on the red head.
Vizla thought about mixing it up a bit and smirked before he said "Actually… I got a better idea."
"Grab the girl with the red hair and the Knight… they are the lucky winners." Vizla said surprising all in the room.
"What you can't!" Kallen said in fear as two Death Watch troopers grabbed her by the arms and lifted her to her feet before they grabbed some rope and tied her hands behind her back like they did with Nonette but her hands were in front instead of behind her.
Both women were trying to get out of the two soldiers grips before they were already on the roof close to the edge.
"Is this how I get to die? Thrown off the top of a building instead of in my sleep or in battle?" Nonette said with a saddened expression.
On the Britannian line another LAAT/i landed and out came Commander Cody along with 12 Clone Troopers of the 212th and 7 Federation Troopers which were assigned to the 212th (Federation Troopers can decide if they wish to have the markings of their legions or not) with 4 having the markings of the 212th while the other 3 didn't.
Narsil who was discussing with Cornelia about how to rescue the civilians along with Commander Wolffe, and the Knight of Twelve Monica Kruszewski.
Even though the Britannian soldiers had strong feelings against the Federation they had a similar enemy this time and it was both the JLF and Death Watch.
"Commander Cody what are you doing here?" Narsil asked the Clone Commander as he approached the four.
"Just came to deliver the message that the Generals (Jango would be considered a General since he is the Prime Clone) are on their way. The pods they are currently in were having mechanical problems and took long to launch. They'll be here in one minute and twenty seconds." Said Cody.
"Sir!" A Federal Trooper shouted pointing towards the tower.
"Hand us some binoculars!" Narsil shouted before several troopers handed him, Alastor, Monica, and Cornelia some macrobinoculars.
Cornelia and Monica were surprised about the devices before remembering that they came from space and decided to look through along with Narsil and Alastor while Wolffe used his rangefinder to see what was happening.
All five look and see while to the surprise of the two women they see Nonette being dragged by Death Watch along with to the surprise of the three Federation members as they saw Kallen.
"Shit we need to buy them time!" Narsil shouted removing his binoculars.
"Sir!" A voice shouted and they turn to see a Clone Trooper in phase I armor but he also had a sniper rifle in hand. This was the Clone Sniper Cooker.
"I think I might be able to save at least one of them sir. You see the Knight of Nine has her hands tied in front of her meaning she can use them to grip a cord should I be able to shoot an ascension cable." Said Cooker.
"And you're the best shot in the galaxy. You did shoot down a barrel of a weapon before so we're putting our faith in you to at least save one of them." Said Narsil.
"Sir I see the pods!" Shouted a Clone wearing paratrooper armor.
They turn to see 3 pods flying in their direction.
"… Send them what we are planning." Said Narsil as he crossed his arms.
"Yes sir!" Replied Wolffe as he began giving the instructions.
Incoming pods
"I see the tower and they are planning to throw off the Knight of Nine and Kallen!" Shouted Durandal.
"Shit!" Growled Yamato.
"Generals this is Commander Wolfe do you copy?" Wolfe's voice said over the comms.
"We ready you Commander, what is it?" Said Jango as he sat in his pod.
"Sir we came up with a plan to save the two up on top of the tower but we require your assistance since we won't be able to save both." Said Wolfe.
"You focus on the Knight… I'll go for Kallen." Said Yamato with his eyes narrowed in determination.
"Yes sir!" Said Wolfe cutting the connection.
"You have an idea?" Asked Durandal.
"Yes… I do." Yamato answered.
Tower roof
"Well time to say goodbye!" Shouted one of the troopers before they kicked both women in the back hard, pushing them off the roof.
Britannian line
"Nonette!" Cornelia shouted to the Knight while Monica had a look of horror written on her face.
"Milady!" Shouted Darlton as he pointed to the pods as they flew towards the bridge before two pods flew in front of one.
The pod in front explodes but not in fire but like it was popping to reveal its contents which was to Cornelia's and the Knights surprise Jango Fett who used his Jetpack to fly off the ground.
The pod in the back did the same as Jango's revealing Yamato wearing his ARS before he started to their surprise run on the road at incredible speeds before the last pod revealed Durandal who skidded across the ground sending sparks flying before he stops but to their surprise Durandal and Yamato grab hands before the former began spinning the latter at an incredible speed before launching him towards the hotel but not up because now Yamato was sliding on the ground sending sparks flying but the parts on his hips open to reveal boosters before he began sliding faster before he started spinning and with the spin the thrusters caused the Sword of Redemption to launch into the air towards Jango who grabbed him and assisted the Sword towards the Building where he began running up the side of the building.
Back on the Britannian lines Narsil looked at Cooker and said "Fire!"
Cooker took his aim before firing the cable and like most of his shots it hit true with the shot being in between her arms and the rope holding her hands together collided with the cable and Nonette sighed in relief that she survived.
Remembering about the other female she turned her head only to see Kallen get caught by Yamato who leapt off the building began falling towards the bridge before using his boosters to lighten their fall as well as push them further towards the military line before he landing on the ground doing a single roll to lighten the momentum but the boost was a bit strong because they skidded on the road for a good twelve seconds before stopping at the Britannian blockade.
"Are you alright?" Yamato asked Kallen who was blushing slightly.
"Y-Yes thank you." Said Kallen as Yamato set her on her feet.
"Incoming fire!" Shouted a trooper before yellow bolts shot from the top of the tower.
Yamato took out his lightsaber and began blocking some shots that would have struck Kallen.
"Sev, take them out!" Shouted Yamato.
"You just started my song." Sev said with a smirk under his helmet as he used his sniper rifle attachment and began taking aim.
"If this fire gets any worse then a bolt might strike the line and I can't risk cutting the line just to get off a single shot!" Shouted Cooker as he was being protected by Alastor while Narsil was in cover along with Cornelia, and Monica.
"How many do you count commando?!" Shouted Narsil.
"I count five right now!" Sev shouted as a shot struck him in the shoulder but the energy shield that his armor came with absorbed the round.
"Then take them out!" Narsil said.
"With pleasure." Sev said as he pulled the trigger.
PDOO
A single bolt flew through the air before it hit home striking a Death Watch trooper in the face sending him crashing onto his back.
PDOO-PDOO
Two more bolts were fired and one struck a trooper in the throat while the other struck the man in the center of the chest killing both.
"Alright that just leaves two left!" Said Cooker as he continued to hold the line as Nonette drew closer to the ground.
"This is easy." Sev said pulling the trigger again.
PDOO
The fourth shot was fired and it caught a Death Watch trooper in the in the heart killing him instantly and leaving only one soldier left.
"Alright just you now." Sev said only for his eyes to widen as he saw the man jump off the building before using his jetpack to fly towards Nonette.
"Fierfek he's going for her!" Sev shouted as he took aim.
Sev aimed carefully before pulling the trigger where with one final PDOO the bolt flew as the Death Watch trooper continued to fire on Nonette before the bolt struck him in the face killing him instantly but not before he released a final shot where the bolt flew and struck the cord cutting it.
"Osik!" Shouted Cooker along with Delta Squad.
Nonette gasped in horror seeing that she was not close enough to the ground for a safe landing and that the fall would still kill her.
Commander Jet saw that he was closer and through instinct ran to the falling Knight of Nine before leapt at her catching the Knight where both landed on the ground with the clone using himself to keep the Knight of Nine from hitting the ground but the landing also somehow knocked his helmet off.
Nonette groaned in slight pain before she looked to see instead that she was on ground she was on top of someone and looked up to see Commander Jets face. He had the same appearance as most Clones though his hair was like the other clones but he dyed his hair brown and his eyes instead of being the same brown as the other clones they were blue due to an accident involving some chemicals.
Nonette blushed slightly in the position they were in before Jet helped her up saying "Are you alright ma'am?"
"Y-Yes I am… thank you." Nonette stuttered though Cornelia and Monica caught on to it.
"Nonette!" A feminine voice shouted catching their attention.
Running to them was Monica along with two Britannian soldiers.
Jet realized that his helmet was off and reached to grab it before putting it on just as they reached the two.
"Hey Monica." Nonette said with a smile as the soldiers cut the rope.
"What happened?" Another voice said and they turn to see Cornelia walking to them.
"That man Pre Vizla discovered Euphie's true identity along with mine and separated her from the others before he ordered for me and that girl to be thrown off the building.
"Good thing Cooker is the best shot." Jet said with a smile under his helmet as he looked to see Yamato remove Kallen's bonds.
"What do you think will happen?" Monica asked.
"It's likely he'll make her the next example." Said Narsil as he walked to them with Wolfe.
"No" Cornelia said with horror as she looked at the tower.
"I think I have a way that may stall them." Narsil said putting a hand to his bottom helmet while off to the side Kallen was allowed to leave but she made her way to a hidden LAAT/s which was guarded by Blade and Saber who wore their Clone Assassin armor.
"What are you planning?" Cornelia said staring at the man who turned to her and smirked under his helmet.
"I'm going to put his honor to the test."
Tower
"So we lost five men and both hostages were saved?" Asked Pre.
"Yes sir and also we just received a message from Narsil." Said the warrior before he brought up an Imagecaster which started to project a hologram of Narsil.
"Pre Vizla, it has come to my attention that you are here. I am here demanding a duel to determine that you really are a Mandalorian warrior or if you are just a pretender. You have two minutes to decide." Said Narsil before the hologram vanished.
Pre scowled under his helmet with his rage growing.
"What should we do?" Asked the warrior while Kusakabe and Tor stood to the side.
"I say go for it." Said Tor making everyone look at him.
"It's honor that is being threatened as well as pride… but I have a suggestion." Tor said with a smirk creeping onto his face.
Britannian line
"Do you expect this plan to work?" Guilford asked Narsil who stood next to Cornelia on the G-1 while several Britannian soldiers stood there ready in case Narsil turned on them but deep down they knew that no matter what they do Narsil would kill them with ease.
"That depends if Vizla will take the bait. Death Watch is very prideful and a hit like this will make them come." Narsil responded.
"Milady we are receiving a message from the hotel." Said Darlton before the screen in front of them came to life to show Pre and Tor Vizla.
"Narsil I accept your match but on the condition that the Mandalorian Jango Fett be brought to fight Tor Vizla. The match will begin in 5 minutes on the bridge." When Pre finished the screen shuts off.
"It appears that your bait worked." Cornelia said looking at him.
"Now that two criminals are down on the bridge we just have to worry about getting the hostages out." Narsil said thinking on what to do next.
"Princess we just received a message from Zero!" Said a soldier.
"Zero!?" Cornelia shouted surprised.
"What's he doing here?" Narsil asked faking his surprise like an award winning actor.
Near the lake
"What? What do you mean Van three was stolen by Zero?! What the hell was Gibson doing all the while?!" Asked Diethard to one of the news workers.
"He said that when he realized what was happening it was too late." Said the worker.
"Huh? Then where's Van three now?" Diethard asked.
"Driving towards the military." The worker said causing Diethard to widen his eyes in surprise.
Britannian line
Lights shine at the approaching van with Zero standing on the top like it was an act.
"We Confirm. It's Zero! Should we open fire?" Asked one of the Sutherland pilots.
"No just stand by. We'll capture him after he's surrounded." Said another.
"But what about those Federation Knightmares?" Asked a third pilot.
"We'll worry about that later." Said the second.
The van slowly drove through towards the bridge while inside Kallen was glaring at Yamato via an Imagecaster he gave her.
"Why did you have me go through that? I felt like I was going to be interrogated back there!" Kallen growled.
The hologram raised its hands freehand and Yamato said "Hey listen if I just took you to a gunship and flew you away then they'd suspect you to be part of the Federation and we couldn't risk that so it was either release you at the Britannian lines where you would walk away and be safe from assumptions or we take you away and have them assume that your family has been conspiring with the Orion Federation. I don't think anyone would want their family in danger."
Kallen looked to the side as the van continued driving until it reached the bridge only to be stopped by Cornelia who was in her Gloucester and two other Gloucesters.
Zero narrowed his eyes and thought 'Cornelia, much as I'd love to get you back here and now, you're more useful to me alive. If you do what I predict then I won't have to use my Geass.'
What Zero didn't know was that Narsil heard what he thought and clenched his hands into fists with anger.
Cornelia got out of her Gloucester and looked at Zero and said "Well, well we meet again Zero. Are you a member of the Japan Liberation Front? Or perhaps you intend to help us? However, our concerns take priority over yours at the moment. Even though Yamato was the one who killed my half-brother Clovis I will not take vengeance because of what he did."
"Cornelia, which would you choose? Clovis who is dead, or Euphemia, who is alive?" Zero said and Cornelia's eyes widen in concern.
Cornelia hesitated for a second which allowed Zero to speak again.
"It's within my power to save Euphemia for you." Zero said.
"What do you mean? I have no idea what you're talking about." Said Cornelia in an attempt to hide her concern even though she knew that Euphie was already in danger by Death Watch.
"I said I'm able to rescue her!" Zero said aloud.
Cornelia was hesitant but she relented and Zero drove by with Cornelia having a look of rage.
As he drove Cornelia turned to give one last look but she then noticed Durandal holding onto the back before turned invisible and that made her confused on why a Sword was going in.
"Cornelia I am lending you the Lancelot Club in good faith for this operation. The Club's pilot is an excellent pilot I can tell you that." Narsil said as he walked towards the bridge with Jango behind him.
Three minutes later Zero went in before they hear the sounds of a jetpack and look to see Pre and Tor Vizla flying down before both men landed on the bridge and walked towards the middle.
"I guess this is it." Narsil said and Jango nodded his head in agreement before they stood there with both Pre and Tor arriving.
"I was afraid that you would run off." Pre Vizla said with a hint of arrogance.
"When innocent lives are on the line I won't run." Narsil said narrowing his eyes under his helmet.
"I see. A man of honor I guess that's why they call you the Sword of Honor." Pre said as he smirked under his helmet.
"How about some rules?" Pre offered.
"What would they be?" Narsil asked.
"No blasters or force powers just fists, feet, and blades." Said Pre as he took out his blasters and tossed them to the side with Tor doing to same.
"Very well then." Narsil said with him and Jango doing the same as Pre drew his Darksaber.
The pitch black blade hummed to life before Pre preformed some practice swings before he pointed the tip at Narsil and said "You know I wonder how well my blade will cut through you."
Narsil growled before he drew his lightsaber which came to life and he held it in both hands and said "You will not get a chance to do so."
-Play Rage of the Shadow Warriors-
"RAGH!" Pre shouted as he used his jetpack to fly into the air.
Narsil narrowed his eyes as he did the same but before Pre could make his move Narsil delivered a fierce kick which struck Vizla in the face and in the progress smacking his helmet off.
Vizla regained his wits and landed on the ground as Narsil delivered a drop swing but Pre blocked it and they began exchanging blows.
Vizla swung for Narsil's head but he blocked it and pushed it to the side before swinging to cut off his arm but Vizla evaded the blade and moved to slash his chest but the blade was blocked by Narsil who kicks Vizla in the chest pushing him back a bit.
The blades connected with black against silver as both held trying to push each other back.
"You know I never expected a Jedi to be like this." Vizla said as the blades sizzled.
"Focus on the match!" Narsil shouted as he pushed Vizla's blade back before Narsil head butted him and then they connected blades again before Narsil pushed the Darksaber away before Vizla tried to punch him only for Narsil to grab the arm by the wrist and then moved the arm so that the attack was redirected and the fist made contact with Vizla's face making him stagger back a bit.
"Aw! You Fierfek!" shouted Vizla with his eyes narrowed before he rushed at Narsil and started swinging like a madman before Narsil ducked under a slash aimed for his neck and then kicked Vizla's feet out from under him.
-End song-
Pre Vizla fell onto his back with his Darksaber deactivating and falling to his side but as he reached for it a foot pinned his arm to the ground.
Vizla looked up only to see the tip of the silver lightsaber in front of him.
"I believe this is where you lose Vizla." Narsil said with a hint of amusement.
"Osik!" Vizla growled at losing.
Narsil looked to the side seeing Jango blocking punches thrown at him from Tor before he delivered a devastating uppercut that launched Tor into the air where he landed on his back hard.
Tor tried to get up but it was slowly likely due to some broken bones but before he could even bend forward a foot pins him to the ground and the foot was from Jango.
"I believe this duel is over." Jango said with satisfaction at beating Tor again.
CRASH
All 4 turn to see one of Tor's Death Watch soldiers falling and screaming as he was thrown out a window before he landed on the ground with a loud thud.
"Well it seems that Durandal said he would do what you wanted to do for months." Narsil said shaking his head in amusement.
BOOM
"What the hell?!" Narsil shouted and he looked to see both the Lancelot and the Lancelot Club fly into the air with both armed with what looked like rifles before the Lancelot fired a round which struck the bottom of the building and it started to sink.
"Huh I guess our duel took longer than we thought." Said Narsil as he watched the building sink.
Several minute before hotel sinking
inside
In the hotels parking lot the sound of 4 bodies hitting the ground is heard and we find Blade and Saber with four dead soldiers with two being Tor's Death Watch and two being Pre's.
"Alright we're clear." Said Saber as the blades flipped into a sheathed position as did Blades.
"Man these guys are good." Said Tamaki as he stepped over a dead soldier.
"That's why they are designated as Assassins. They are given special training where they have the skills to move fast enough to block a bullet, to kill swiftly, and to shoot a target with ease." Said Durandal as he walked past them before two Death Watch troopers came into the room armed with blaster rifles.
"Hold it right there!" Shouted one of them.
"Zero you go talk to the LT Col, your men will deal with explosives, and me and my men will deal with hostage rescue." Said Durandal before he and the Clone Assassins walked to them but before the Death Watch soldiers could utter a word they grab their throats as Durandal started using the force to choke them before the sounds of bones snapping is heard and both men fell to the ground dead.
"That guy scares me." Tamaki said looking at the bodies as he on instinct grabs his neck.
"Well he is the Sword of Vengeance so he must be avenging the lives these guys took I mean they did say that Death Watch was a major and evil terrorist organization which caused the deaths of thousands." Said Kallen said as she looked at the dead bodies.
As they moved through the halls they reach a point but stopped to see 3 Death Watch soldiers.
"Hold it!" Shouted one before to the surprise of the resistance members and Zero the one in the middle took out both WESTAR-35 pistols and fired both into the back of the heads of the two soldiers killing them instantly without them knowing.
"Report." Durandal said as he approaching the man.
"They have the hostages locked up in a food storage room on the middle floor that I've marked with a green light. I also managed to get data on an upcoming operation right here." Said the soldier who by the sound of his voice was the same man that helped Nina before Euphie was taken away and both Kallen and Nonette were to be thrown off the roof.
The man hands Durandal an encrypted code cylinder which Durandal took and puts it in a slot on his gauntlet.
"Hold up! What the hell is going on?!" Shouted Tamaki confused.
"This is Darius Tervho. He's one of our spies within Death Watch. This is how we are able to know when and where Death Watch will strike." Said Durandal.
Darius takes off his helmet to reveal to their surprise a young 17 year old with black hair with silver highlights, and mismatched eyes with his left being blue while the other was gold.
"Sir shall I get ready to go?" Darius asked.
"Yes and good luck." Durandal said before the spy nods his head and runs down the hall out of sight.
"You really do have interesting company." Ohgi said looking at the Sword.
"Sometimes it's better to have interesting friends than a boring life. Let's go." Durandal said before he, Saber, and Blade split up from the others.
The reach a door where Durandal says "Alright this is the spot."
"Sir how should we go in?" Asked Blade.
Durandal looked around before an idea popping into mind.
"I believe we should cut the power to that room." Durandal said with a smirk.
One minute later
The room was filled with nine men with 3 being from Tor's Death Watch, 3 from Pre's Death Watch, and 3 JLF soldiers.
"Dammit why don't we just kill them? I mean it won't be hard to do it!" Said one of the soldiers.
"Because Vizla gave us orders saying that he plans to have the princess be made… an example." Said one of Tor's soldiers with an evil laugh which sent chills down the civilian's spines before suddenly the lights went out.
"What the hell?!" Shouted one of the JLF soldiers as all nine started looking around confused with the civilians in fear.
"Why is the power shut off?" Asked the first JLF soldier only to feel that someone was behind him but as he turned his head around he screams in pain as a pitch black blade protruded from the center of his chest and the white outline only barely shined Durandal with his visor a crimson red before he deactivated the lightsaber going into darkness while the JLF soldier hits the ground dead.
The soldiers open fire with the two JLF soldiers firing bullets while the six Death Watch soldiers fired blaster bolts.
The civilians were scared before two black beams came to life as it cuts across the chest of one of Tor's Death Watch killing him before he spun the blades which then cut into the abdominal area of a JLF soldier killing him before he deactivated his lightsaber going back into darkness before the bodies even hit the floor.
The survivors fired at where they think he will be trying to not hit the hostages before the twin blades appeared with the user flipping in the air before he cuts into the face of another Death Watch soldier killing him before he swung cutting the gun at the barrel as well as cutting through the torso area of another Death Watch soldier as well as cutting into the spine killing him instantly before deactivating the blades going back into the shadows as the second body hit the ground.
The two surviving Death Watch soldiers and one JLF soldier fire at where he was.
The JLF soldier runs out of ammo but as he was about to reload the man appears in front of him activating both blades and swinging up cutting the rifle in half as well as slightly cutting the chest before he spun around stabbing the second blade into the soldiers back and into the stomach.
He pulls the blade out and spun it several times as the body hits the floor before the lights came back to life showing the civilians what happened and revealing Durandal standing there.
"Oh osik it's the Sword of Vengeance!" Shouted one of the two survivors.
"What should we do?!" Asked the second.
Before the first could respond both Blade and Saber drop from the room and swing their arm blades cutting through flesh, armor, and bone but when they sheath their blades the two men fall to the ground dead leaving the room filled with the hostages and the members of the Federation.
"All clear General." Said Saber in his usual emotionless tone.
"Good now escort these civilians to a safe location where they can be safely relocated away from the hotel." Said Durandal with both clones nodding their heads accepting the order.
"Wait Princess Euphemia was taken to a different room!" Shouted Shirley as Durandal began to leave the room but stopped to look at them and said "I already know and I plan to rescue her."
Durandal opens the door before he suddenly vanished via active camo which surprised the rescued hostages.
Durandal made his way to the Princess's room where he entered to find Euphie tied to a chair with 5 Death Watch soldiers looking at her with one holding her by the chin.
Durandal looked at the princess and saw a look of fear and he figured what she feared which made him so mad his eyes turned to a sickly yellow.
"What the?!" Shouted the one that was holding her chin only to cry out as he was cut across the chest by the double bladed lightsaber that ended his life.
"Oh osik!" Shouted one of the four survivors as they began firing on him only for each bolt to be deflected before he swung cutting the arm off of one soldier before he cuts into his chest killing him.
The other three continued firing but a bolt was reflected and struck a soldier in the face in between the visor where he falls onto his back dead.
"We don't stand a chance!" Shouted one of the two survivors.
The second didn't get the chance to respond because of the twin lightsaber cutting through his unprotected abdominal area killing him.
The last soldier tried to shoot but was stopped when Durandal grabbed him by the neck and pinning him to the wall.
"Hey I have a question for you that you might want to hear." Said Durandal as he deactivated his lightsaber.
"W-what is it?" Asked the soldier in fear.
"What do you think the word Defenestrate means?" Durandal asked the man.
"I don't know what it means." The man said in fear.
"Oh here let me show you what it means." Durandal said before he released his grip on the man's neck before he grabbed the chest piece and threw the man who crashed out the window and screams down until he crashed to the ground dead.
Durandal turns to the captive princess and moves to untie her as well as use the force to heal any injuries her wrists may have gained from the rope.
"I thank you for saving me but what about the other hostages?" Euphie asked before Durandal finally removed the ropes where she began to rub them.
"I saved them first before coming to you because it was the right thing to do." Durandal said to her making the princess smile.
"I appreciate what you did and I'm grateful." Euphie said sincerely.
"It is what I do milady." Durandal said bowing to her in respect.
Suddenly an explosion drew their attention and they turn to see the Lancelot and Lancelot Club in the air.
"I believe it is time for us to leave." Durandal said holding out a hand for the princess to take.
Right after Zero entered the tower
With ASEEC Suzaku in the Lancelot and Rai inside the Lancelot Club were slowly lowered down into the utilities tunnel with both armed with a prototype VARIS rifle while the Club's was given as a good will by Lloyd who appreciated that the Lancelot Club was in one piece as well as being told it helped destroy a powerful machine that a single Lancelot would have trouble defeating.
"Lancelot pilot this is Lancelot Club checking in." Said Rai as he followed the orders given to him about hiding his identity so as not to draw attention should he go in public.
"Lancelot is ready." Suzaku said looking at the Club as it landed next to it before both Knightmares moved into the same start position.
"Lancelot/Club. M.E. boost!" Said Suzaku and Rai at the same time before both Knightmares shot off.
The Raiko sees the Knightmares and fires its first shell but the Knightmares evaded each shot with none of the rounds striking the Knightmares.
On the next shot the Knightmares didn't have time to move so they activated their Blaze Luminous which deflected the shrapnel before both Knightmares fire their VARIS rifles at once as the Raiko fired its last shot and the two rounds from the VARIS rifles destroyed the Raiko's round and the two rounds found home destroying the Raiko.
The cannons destruction caused the tunnel to explode and both Knightmares shot off from the ground and Rai saw that the duel was won and both he and Suzaku fired their VARIS rifles at the central shaft where once destroyed the tower began to sink.
As that happened Suzaku saw Zero before suddenly the floor he was on exploded horrifying Suzaku and the Britannians.
"EUPHIE!" Cornelia shouted in fear.
"My friends!" Suzaku shouted as the Lancelot launched into the crumbling building.
"Warrant Officer Kururugi don't! AH!" Lloyd shouted but only to shout out in surprise as a Monkey Lizard came out of nowhere armed with a wrench and started beating him up.
The Lancelot Club lands on the ground which was weakened causing the ground to shake slight and in turn causes the Darksaber to reach Vizla who grabs it and activates it and were it not for Narsil's Jedi reflexes then he would have lost a leg.
Vizla then used his gloves which were magnetic to grab his helmet as he shot off towards Jango and swung at him but Jango evaded at the price of losing Tor Vizla.
Both Vizla's stood there glaring at the men before the Kom'rk transport flew in and deployed it's lower hatch where Pre grabbed Tor and both Vizla's flew up and took a seat with the later glaring at Jango while the former said "Mark my words Narsil I will get you!"
The Kom'rk transport raises its seats before it shot off into space and away from the planet.
In a news van stood Diethard and a news worker with the former looking at a screen.
"What about the camera's in van three?" Diethard asked.
"I told you Zero took them." Said the news worker only for Diethard to shout at him saying "Well let's hope we pick up a signal from them! What are you doing Zero? Wasn't that part of your plan? To show us something?"
In the remains of the building the smoke clears to reveal the Lancelot standing there in one piece and inside the ASEEC trailer the Monkey Lizard stopped attacking Lloyd who was now sitting in his chair sporting a bruise as Cecile sighs in relief saying "He's alright!"
"I couldn't rescue them… they're dead… I failed… Not again!" Said Suzaku with that last part as he smashed a fist onto his console.
Coming out from the smoke was a yacht before the screens of the TVs around the world came to life showing Zero.
"My dear Britannians, have no fear. All of the hostages from the hotel are safe and sound. I Zero return them to you unharmed." Said Zero as the screens revealed lifeboats full of civilians.
"Of all the Audacity… if we attack they'll become your hostages is that right?" Cornelia said before she took notice of one person missing.
Cornelia's eyes widen in fear at not seeing where her sister was and thought 'Is she? No I lost Lelouch and Nunnally I just can't bear to lose Euphie.'
As she thought that lights turned on the yacht revealing men behind Zero wearing black uniforms.
"People! Fear us or rally behind us, as you see fit! We are the Black Knights!" Said Zero.
"Black Knights?" Cecile said confused.
"Ironic, isn't it? The terrorists referring to themselves as Knights." A still bruised Lloyd said as they didn't take notice of someone sneaking away from the trailer.
"We of the Black Knights stand with all those who have no weapons to wield! Regardless of whether they be Japanese or Britannians! The Japan Liberation Front and Death Watch cowardly took innocent Britannian civilians hostage and then mercilessly executed them. It was a wanton and meaningless act and there for they have been punished. Just as former Viceroy Clovis was punished for the slaughter of countless unarmed Japanese. We could not standby and allow such cruelty to be carried out. And so, he paid for his actions. I will not repudiate any battle on a fair 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! Where ever oppressors abuse their power by attacking those who are powerless, we shall appear again! No matter how mighty, how formidable our foe may be!" Zero said as his speech inspired some and as that happened the Federation began loading up.
"Knights of justice…" Kallen said but her sight was on Yamato as he stood near the lake with his helmet open and she could see a saddened look on his face before the helmet closed and she felt something inside her ache.
"Those with power fear us! Those of you without it, Rally behind us! We the Black Knights shall be the ones who stand in judgment of this world!" Lelouch finished as the yacht began to sail away as the military was more focused on the civilians.
"W-where's Euphemia?" Cornelia asked with fear.
"I wouldn't be scared if I were you." Narsil's voice said and she spun around glaring at him but before she could say anything she hears a familiar humming sound and spun around where her eyes widen because flying down was an LAAT/s and she could see a wire but holding onto the wire made her fear vanish because holding the line was Durandal who had one hand wrapped around Euphie as she held onto him for dear life.
When they set their feet on the ground the stealth gunship flew off as the other gunships began taking off as well.
"I'm glad you're alright." Cornelia said with a hint of relief while Euphie smiled in happiness.
Euphie then turns to see that Durandal, Narsil, Jango, Yamato, and Alastor were boarding one of the last gunships while the clone commanders and clone assassins took the other one.
"Durandal I wish to thank you for saving everyone." Euphie called out.
Durandal smiled under his helmet and said "I do what I think is right… for everyone."
With that said the gunships took off and flew away with the Jegans behind them.
Orbit
Approaching the Earth was a single ship which was large. It was a Strident-class Star Defender which was called the War Titan.
On the bridge stood a man wearing Experimental Jedi armor and on his hip was a double bladed lightsaber which by the looks of it was meant to detach to form two. This was Jarod Walker.
Entering the bridge was Alyssa who had a single lightsaber on her hip as she approached Jarod and said "Hey we just reached Earth so we better get to the shuttle bay to get to Earth.
Jarod sighs and said "I just hope my brother didn't cause any problems down there."
"Usually you're the one causing problems." Alyssa deadpanned mainly because it was 100% true.
Unknown location
"OSIK!" Shouted Pre Vizla as he threw his helmet which crashed into a wall before clattering on the ground.
"We were so close and it just took a Mandalorian and a Jedi to distract us long enough to save those hostages! Blast it!" Pre shouted kicking a table.
"Calm yourself we'll get our vengeance soon enough and I think I know how." Tor said before an evil smile slid onto his face as he brought up a hologram of Cornelia talking to Narsil and Pre started to get the same smile as his kin.
