Anime Dimension 0: Zero Invasion

Episode 10: Fighting Back

Dimension 0 Zero: City of Kikorowa underground sewage base:

Lelouch began to explain what the team's going to do next now that Suzaku and Shirley had recovered.

"It's time for us to storm the Temple of Zero"

"I agree, the Temple of Zero is a critical location, taking it back will give us a huge advantage" Kirito agreed with Lelouch's idea.

"Here's the plan, we will leave exactly at nine tonight. Once we reach the forest, we will split and circle around to the temple, avoid any guards if possible. If you are spotted, make sure the guard doesn't see tomorrow. Once we regroup, we will storm into the chamber of the Temple of Zero and take Zero down. Any questions?"

Kirito placed his hand up, "No, but an idea…"

Leaving Yui for Shirley to take care of, they headed for the Temple of Zero.

Dimension 0 Zero: Forest outside the Temple of Zero (3 hours later):

The group stood a meter from the forest before the temple.

"Let the operation, begin" Lelouch gave the all green to start the operation.

They rushed into the forest in different directions. But when Arata and the Trinity Seven entered the forest, a strange feeling hit them.

"What was that?" Arata asked, "It's as though my breathing has tightened" he said as he gripped his chest.

"It must be a barrier, the others may not notice it but let's meet up with them at the temple" said Lilith.

Kirito, Asuna, Sinon and Rain leapt branch to branch toward the temple. Rain suddenly missed the branch and fell; Kirito rushed over and grabbed Rain by the hand. Rain now approximately ten meters above group gripped tightly on Kirito's hand as she tried to hold her scream in. with all his strength, Kirito pulled Rain back up to the branch and began to catch his breathe.

"You okay?" he asked.

"Yeah… thanks"

They continued to move; soon they arrived at the temple entrance.

Kirito looked around, "Where are the others? They should be here soon"

Guards suddenly appeared from the temple entrance and the forest.

Sinon drew her Hecate out, "Kirito! You and the others head on, I will hold them back!"

Kirito disagreed with her, "With your sniper?! No way, I'll stay back too!"

"Don't you trust my sniping skills? I can take care of this, go on before I get mad" Sinon shot a glare into his eyes.

Kirito had no choice but to comply, "O-Okay! Just don't die!" he turned and cut through the guards blocking the entrance.

Before they left, Rain tapped Sinon on the shoulder, "Sinon, take this" she shot a dagger onto the ground in front of herself with her skill and picked it up for Sinon.

Sinon looked at the dagger, "A dagger? I don't-"

"The Kirito in my world said that you were a great dagger user back in SAO"

"SA- whatever… thanks though" Sinon accepted the dagger and turned back to the guards, "Now go!"

Rain nodded, "Good luck" she ran after Kirito and Asuna.

"We are almost at the chamber, be prepared"

"What about the others?" Asuna asked.

"They will catch up… I'm counting on it; Sinon's life may depend on it"

Dimension 0 Zero: Forest outside of the Temple of Zero:

"Onii chan, do you feel like we aren't moving at all?" Yui asked.

"It does seem that way, I'm sure we're headed for the temple as well but it doesn't seem like we're getting any closer. Astil, Ilias, what's going on?"

"It could be some sort of multi-dimensional barrier" Astil replied.

"Hmm… if I recall, isn't those the kind of barriers that turn a designated area into a maze?"

"I'm impressed Onii chan, so you really do study" Yui added.

"H-Hey, Yui! Anyways, how can we break this barrier?"

"Yes, we can find the hole of the barrier or we destroy it, but it will consume about ninety per-cent of our mana" said Lilith.

Dimension 0 Zero: Corridors of Temple of Zero:

A white haired boy in white light armour wielding a black dagger walked down the corridor of the temple with a girl with black twin tails.

"Goddess, are you sure this is the place of the disturbance?" the boy asked.

"Yes, we must be careful from here on Bell, even my divined powers are blocked here" the girl replied.

Bell suddenly stopped and pulled Hestia against the wall before they reached the cross intersection of the temple.

"Aw… Bell you bad boy, you shouldn't push me like that"

"N-No Goddess, there's people coming this way… two, no three"

"What are we going to do?"

"I'll take them down" Bell charged out around the corner, around the corner were three dark figures, Bell headed for the figures with his dagger drawn.

One of the figures drew out a black sword and blocked the attack, "Who are you?" the figure asked.

Bell's stopped his assault but watched the figure's moves carefully.

The Goddess came around the corner, "Bell what's wrong?"

The figures came to light; there were two females and a male. The one of the females had beautiful chestnut coloured hair, while the other had crimson red hair.

"Are you with Requiem or not?" the female with chestnut hair asked.

"Requiem?" the two repeated the phrase in sync.

"It appears not" the male drew the conclusion, "Then we are allies"

"Allies? I-I'm so sorry about attacking you just then!" bell bowed as low as he could.

"I'm Kirito" the male introduced himself.

Then the two females, "I'm Asuna"

"I'm Rain, nice to meetcha"

Now Bell and the Goddess introduced themselves, "I'm Bell, Bell Cranel"

"I'm the Goddess, Hestia"

"I believe our goal is the same, here take this" Kirito handed them a badge, "Now you can kill your enemies without actually killing them"

"Thank you, Kirito!" Bell bowed once again.

"Now, let's keep going" said Asuna.

Dimension 0 Zero: Entrance to the Temple of Zero:

Sinon's Hecate II lied on the ground, she had changed to her dagger given to her by Rain.

"Is there no end to them?"

Dimension 0 Zero: Forest outside of the Temple of Zero:

"This barrier is getting annoying" Lelouch walked aimlessly around the forest.

"Freeze!" a guard approached the boy, "Turn around slowly"

Perfect timing…

Lelouch turned around and activated his Geass.

"Now, lead me to the exit of this barrier and hand me your weapon"

"Yes sir" the guard saluted and led Lelouch to the barrier's exit.

Dimension 0 Zero: Temple of Zero:

Kirito, checked the corners of the corridors as they passed them, "Zero has placed guards everywhere in the Temple up to the main chamber of the temple"

"We're almost there right?"

"Yeah"
