I would like to thank everyone who's been following my stories. So here's a new chapter of Knights of Earth and the main theme. I don't own anything except my OCs and Original Tech. I Also have a new poll opened up:
Which Code Geass Character should become an X-Rounder?
(Re: Birth by Black Acid Cherry)
(Images of Earth, Knightmare Frames, Maps, Weapon Specs flash by. The Earth is viewed from space. Suddenly, gates of light open up above Earth and Several Vagan mechs and Warships fly out of the portals. The Jabberwock opens it hanger, revealing the Lancelot with a float pack. The Sakuradite core spins. Lancelot gets into a starting position before launching, doing a spin while activating the Float System and drawing the VARIS. The Title Knights of Earth appears.)

(The entire KOE stand ready to fight and raise their fists in the air. The man in the cloak sits in a high-tech cockpit with a Geass Symbol in both his eyes as Nemo shows several Vagan Mechs descending into the atmosphere. A shadowed knightmare frame with a changing symbol on his face stands up, a ring appears above it. The frame jumps through the ring and it flys through the air with a burst of speed.)

Lord Trona stands on the bridge of a Vagan battleship and he raises his hand. Several Vagan mechs descend onto Area 11.)

Suzaku in the Lancelot and the Green-haired man in his Zeydra charge at each other. The Zeydra fires lasers from its hands and the Lancelot fires the VARIS.)
(The last shot is the entirety of the Knights of Earth stand in front of Earth.)
Stage 7: Guren Rises!
Ashford Academy...
Nina, Rivalz, Shirley and Milly were in the Student Council room watching the news.
"This week's top story continues to be the new military group the Knights of Earth or the KOE as they have been referred to as. Several incidents this week have included the arrests of several Refrain dealers..."
The screen showed footage of several KOE members tying up several druglords.
"and a Rescue operation in the Tokyo Settlement."
Footage showed the Lancelot jumping out of a flaming building with an entire family in its arms.
"But the question on everyone's mind is what the KOE plan to accomplish."
They showed Lelouch's speech at Lake Kawaguchi.
"Their leader appears to be the once thought dead Britannian prince, Lelouch vi Britannia along with several Britannian nobles such as Lord Jeremiah of the Purist Faction and Viceroy Clovis. And yet many of their members are identified Eleven terrorists."
Images of Ougi, Tamaki,Kallen, Ikari and Dr. Ishida are shown.
"Who would have thought Kallen was a terrorist? She always acts so sickly." Shirley said.
"Actually that's like the perfect cover." Rivalz said. "But I'm more surprised that Lelouch and Nunnally were royalty."
Milly just giggled. Shirley looked her and then her eyes widened in surprise. "You knew about them, didn't you madam president?"
"Well Lelouch's mother was personally friends with my family. After she passed, my Grandfather decided to take Lelouch and Nunnally in." She sighed. "But never thought they would do something like this."
Nina looked out the window. Her mind was occupied with the JLF member that saved.
"Ikari." She thought to herself.
The Viceroy's Palace...
Cornelia, Dalton and Guilford were walking into the palace as several reporters tried to ask her question.
"Princess Cornelia. What is your opinion on the KOE?"
"Does this mean that Prince Clovis has stepped down as Viceroy?"
"Are the KOE a new faction of the military?"
Cornelia and Guilford walked into the palace and Dalton slammed the doors.
"I swear, Reporters are more annoying than any terrorist." Dalton said as he rubbed his eyes. He looked and saw Cornelia walking to her room.
"Looks like she still coming to terms with Prince Lelouch and Princess Nunnally being alive." Guilford said. "I think what she needs is some time alone."
Cornelia walked into her room and saw that she was not alone.
"Hello Cornelia." Lelouch said as he drank some tea. "Won't you join me?" The violet-eyed prince sat at a table arranged for afternoon tea. Cornelia just stood there, stunned.
The Ichigo Highway...
Several trucks traveled across the highway. Sitting in the cab of the front truck was Tohdoh and Holy Swords.
Hidden by the trees, The Lancelot stood by waiting along with four Sutherlands. The trucks came into view.
"Target in sight." Kewell said.
"Alright. Beginning operation Sword Summit." Jeremiah said. The KMFs shot their Slash Harkens at the highway and shot up. They landed in front of the trucks and they stopped.
"That's the Knightmare from Lake Kawaguchi!" Urade said.
Tohdoh glared at the Lancelot. "I'm heading out."
"What?" Chiba asked.
"I need to figure something out. Don't come after me." He walked into the back of the truck.
Villeta sat waiting in her cockpit. "Are they going to make a move?"
The back of the front truck opened up and a Burai Kai jumped out. It pulled out a Revolving Blade Sword and charged at the Lancelot. Suzaku grabbed his MVS and blocked it. They stood at a standstill.
"Charging at an advanced Knightmare isn't a solid strategy." Suzaku said.
"Well maybe I wanted to see if my former student has learned anything." The devicer of the Burai said. Suzaku gasped.
"You're... Kyoshiro Tohdoh!" The young man gasped.
"It's been long time, Suzaku." The miracle worker said.
The two frames backed up. Jeremiah drew his weapon. But the Lancelot raised its hand.
"Why are you here Kururugi?"
"We heard that the JLF are in possession of a powerful Knightmare frame. Based on the JLF's recent actions, such a frame is better suited for one of our devicers." As Suzaku said this, Kallen walked up the second truck.
"Do not compare my soldiers to that idiot Kasukabe." He pointed his sword at Suzaku. "How about a wager. A one-on-one duel. If you win, not only is the frame yours, but my soldiers and myself will join you." Everyone gasped. "But if win, you'll become my subordinate. For someone who turned on his country, changing sides shouldn't be hard for you to do."
Those words struck Suzaku in his core. "Agreed."
The Lancelot and the Burai Kai stood each other down. The land spinners activated and the two devicers charged at each other.
Location unknown...
Several Vagan mechs were being worked on by repair drones. This mechs were purple instead of light blue. A man with green hair, a silver mask stood in front of several soldiers in high-tech suits. His clothing was a red and black jacket with white gloves and green pants. (Voice: Tom Gibis)
"(This operation is a test to see how the Earthers fair against our latest mechas. But that doesn't mean you should let your guard down. And if you see a white mecha, do not approach or you will be killed! Understood?") The man ordered.
The Soldiers saluted. "(Yes, Captain Inglese!)"
The Viceroy's palace...
"Why didn't you ever try to contact any of us or even let us know you were alive?" Cornelia asked with a scowl.
Lelouch put his cup down. "You know as well I that if Nunnally and I revealed ourselves, we would be used as political tools."
"So why did you reveal yourselves now?"
Lelouch took out a DVD player and passed it to Cornelia. She hit the play button. On the screen, she saw several monstrous looking mechs attack the Shinjuku Ghetto. The mechs attacked and killed Britannian soldiers and Japanese terrorists. A look of shock took over her face and she looked at her half-brother.
"I did say that our enemy was one that doesn't care about nationality." Lelouch said. "And I'm hoping that you will join us Cornelia."
The Witch of Britannia stood up and walked to Lelouch. She pulled him up and slapped him. Lelouch fell on the ground. Lelouch was about to yell but her saw tears running down her face.
"That was making me think you were dead." He picked him up and and hugged him. "Don't ever make me worry about you again."
Lelouch was shocked, but her hugged her back.
"For long time, I thought the only real family I had left was Nunnally. But I have learned that even though it may seem like it at times, you are never truly alone."
Back on the highway...
The two advanced swords clashed. The Burai backed up and tried to stab at Lancelot but the white frame moved to the left before the blade hit. Suzaku jumped and aimed a spin kick at his former master, But Tohdoh shot a slash harken that blocked the kick and knocked Suzaku back.
As the two ace devicers fought, Kewell was confused.
"How is he holding up against the Lancelot? That's a 7th generation Knightmare and all he has is a furnished Glasgow."
"He's not called Tohdoh the Miracle Worker for nothing." Tamaki replied. Suddenly an alarm flashed on his screen. It was a new alarm Lloyd and Cecile installed. "Crap! Incoming Unknowns!"
Seven objects impacted with the road. The smoke cleared and Seven Vagan mechs stood up. Six of them were purple mechs and one of them was a Zedas with red parts. Captain Inglese stood at the seat of this mech.
"(Dorado units, take of the cannon fodder. Leave the white one to me.)"
The lines of the Vagan mechs turned green. The Sutherlands covered the trucks and Jeremiah yelled at the Holy Swords.
"Get out of here! We'll cover you!"
"What are you talking about?" Senba asked.
"If you stay, these monsters will kill you!"
Asahina took the wheel and they speed ahead. Suzaku turned toward Tohdoh.
"You should get out of here." The knight said.
"Suzaku, what are the hell are these things?" Tohdoh asked.
"Just go!" He yelled. Tohdoh glared through the display screen.
"Understood. But we'll continue this fight later." The Burai Kai zoomed off and followed the trucks. The Dorodos mechs tried to charge after them but a wave of machine gun fire stopped. Tamaki charged at one with his stun tonfa and aimed for the head, the mech dodged it. It armed changed into a blade and cut off Tamaki's arm. It opened fire and blasted the Sutherland, rendering it useless. "Damn it!" Tamaki said as he ejected. and his KMF was cut in half.
Jeremiah opened fire at a mech, but it dodged the fire by jumping. Purple energy flew out from its back as it hovered in the air.
"These things can fly?" Kewell asked. He fired on the flying mech but it dodged the bullets and returned fire, forcing Kewell to eject as his frame exploded.
Villeta tossed a Chaos Mine in the air. This time, the shrapnel hit the mech as it blew up. However, an enemy slashed her arms off. She was forced to eject as well.
"You bastards!" Jeremiah yelled. He fired at the mech that defeated Villetta and destroyed it. His warning system blared. He saw a Dorado attack from above. It blasted at Orange Boy and he had no choice but to eject. With no more enemies, the remaining Dorado units to the sky and flew in the direction of the Holy swords.
The Zedas fired at Lancelot. The Blaze Luminous deflected the blasts as the Lancelot sped toward the Vagan mech. The Zedas' arm changed into a red blade and clashed with the Lancelot. No matter what Suzaku did, the mech countered him move for move. With no other option, Suzaku backed up and fired the VARIS. The advanced weapon destroyed the arm of the mech. Inglese staired in shock. He pressed a button.
"Amazing. You actually damaged my Zedas R. No one has ever done that before." He said on an open channel. Suzaku gasped.
"You... can talk?" He asked. On the channel he heard laughter.
"You honestly thought that your only enemy were unmanned drones. This time you face a real Vagan soldier."
Back with the Holy Swords...
Kallen fumbled in the back of the truck. She stood up and turned on her flashlight. She looked up and saw the red knightmare frame. "Whoa."
"Q-1. This is is R-3. Respond." Ohgi said through her ear-piece.
"This is Q-1. I'm standing in front of the new Knightmare."
"Well you better find a way out. The Sutherland was just defeated. No casualties but it looks like you got four hostiles headed your way. And I don't think some souped up Burais are going beat these guys."
Kallen gritted her teeth. She looked up at the red frame and got an idea.
"Then I'll use this Knightmare to fight them."
"What! Kallen, do even have any idea how to operate it?"
"Right now we don't have any other option." She walked up to the cab and pulled out her knife. She held the knife at the driver's throat. "Where's the key and the manual for the new frame?"
"I... In the glove box." The driver said scared for his life. Kallen open the glove box and pulled out a red & white Activation Key that looked like a wing and a pamphlet that contained specs for the KMF. She went back to the frame and climbed onto its back and opened the cockpit. Instead of usual controls, the pilot seat was shaped like a motorbike seat. "Definitely different than a Glasgow."
Outside, the Dorado units caught up with the trucks. Tohdoh fired his slash harkens but they dodged. The Vagan opened fired and knocked the Revolving Blade out of his hand.
"Not good." He started to sweat. The enemy frames took aim, the back of one of the trucks opened and a red slash harken shot out and hit the shoulder of a mech. A red frame jumped out of the truck. This frame was massively different from any Britannian frame. It had thin legs and a curved torso, but what really stood out was the menacing silver claw that served as its right arm. At the controls was a determined Kallen.
"Alright you monsters..." The Guren jumped and grabbed one of the Dorados on the face with its claw arm. "This for everyone you've killed!" She pressed a button. A crimson blast of energy washed over the alien mech. The mech started to bubble up and expand. In the cockpit, the pilot was freaking out as his cockpit started to collapse of him and his helmet cracked.
"(What the D'ast!)" He yelled. The Guren let go and landed on the road. The air emptied its clip and the Vagan mech exploded.
"I can fight them with this." Kallen said with renewed hope. "The Guren Mk-II."
