Phase 7 part 2
A/N:After rereading Alternate Rebellion, I realize I need to tone down Luluko personality. She will change and develop eventually. Until then, she's a fake Marianne.
Also, if any of you are waiting for Nothing or Forever, Code Reaction, or Alter Persona. There either on hiatus or I have a bad case of writer's block. And once again, College kicked my ass.
My Fate Stay Night: Chrono Clock Work,Alternate Rebellion, and Demon Child, I'm actually writing like crazy to complete...After the Christmas Special for DC and AR.
If you're wondering how Luluko pulled all this off. I did say she been busy the moment she got her/his memories.
Be warn, it will get a bit dark because I'm trying to make a point about both side of the conflict including Luluko mentality. Sorry if you feel disturbed because I can really argue from canon(inferred) and real life that this sort of stuff do happen. Aiming for realism and probably failing...bear with me.
Final note…
Code Geass R3!? I'm happy and worried at the same time. Please don't ruin it Sunrise...yes, I'm skeptical.
At least I knew the 'Lelouch is Alive' theory is HYPED. Then again, my Demon Child fanfic want down the drain...or does it?
I want to cut it a tad short so I can post it for you guys. Since I'm also in a very good mood today...which is 2 days by the time this edited and posted. It only 3000-5000 words short. And Grammarly got a 100,000 characterter or around 17000-18000 words limit and it get progressively slower near the end.
I'm in a mostly good mood. I bought a can of soda and got two for one at the vending machine. Doing well in college, and my birthday was very,very recent.
My Fall semester over...But I got a job now and that seasonal part time job at Macy's might just turn full-time permanent. Next semester going to be even more hellish with more classes.
Ya, My updates going to take a huge hit unless I regulate my time correctly.

Luluko PoV
Why did I decide to take Cornelia in a Sutherland? CC backing me up, but is that enough? It would have been smarter for me to bring Kallen, but I need her to help gather as many terrorists for 3 separate missions that will be initiated before it reaches midnight. CC a good pilot, but Kallen my Red Ace and trusted lov-Son of a-Damnit Lelouch!
I figure if I want to take on Cornelia, it should be on equal ground. For the sake of some nagging honor and bragging rights between pilots.
In hindsight, it seems like a horrible idea, fuel by an almost completely torn down desire to be like my mother, almost. It maybe because Schneizel always defeated me in chess and Cornelia destroy me in a KMF simulator. Granted she and Schneizel were twice my age at the time before my exiled. Either way, I want to beat them at their own game.
Even in my hatred for Britannia, I still admire the two of them. I just view them as a threat that going to put up a fight before their inevitable defeat. It embarrassing to admit, I kind of secretly have a crush on Schneizel and hope he has nothing to do with my mother death. Sorry for calling it a childhood delusion, but we would make very beautiful intelligent babies together...Very beautiful, intelligent, inbred babies.
Then the memory came in and I swear to C-World! I'm going to erase that pretty face of his with my hadron cannon! How dare he use Nunnally and my own Knights against me! Fuck him and Kanon!
I just realize...Clovis should be waking up in a week. Maybe I drop by to say 'hi'. When he's awake this time.
The camera should still be rolling. I took my time in creating a contingency plan if Cornelia betrays my trust and the operation afterward as well as outdoing my male safe reveal.
I list out the advantage and disadvantage of facing her. Including the strength and weaknesses.
The advantage of winning.
-The chance to humiliates my sister.
-A large moral boost to Japan.
-Increase support for me, Zero. Although, Lady Zero seem more fitting. It's unintentional, but it more fitting proper.
Disadvantage
-If I lose, I can escape. But it would be embarrassing and counterproductive of my goals.
-I would need to scrap all my plans.
-I may die.
My strength
-I'm knowledgeable about Cornelia tactics and skill in a KMF and sure to keep my emotion in check.
-I can play mind games to throw my older sister off.
-CC and I have been practicing for the last few weeks as partners in KMF simulators. Our training revolving around defeating Cornelia in a 2 on 1 fight. I knew she wouldn't hand me a Gloucester or demote to a Sutherland.
-Home field advantage.
Weakness
-I have to admit, the idea of an honorable duel could come back to bit me.
-My entire plan hinges on no outside interferences.
Cornelia strength
-I'm not sure if I could consider this a strength but her desire to avenge me and Nunnally or seek information relating to us no matter what.
-Cornelia more experienced.
-She got a better KMF.
-She's a better pilot.
Weakness
-Second verse same as first, her emotions.
-That Britannian pride and honor will lead to her downfall if she's not careful.
Let's begin...
The sun was still high in the sky as the telltale sign of an enraged Cornelia head towards me and CC. The two of us were in our respective Sutherland, a hot pink one, and a black one. We review the battle plan if she attack us immediately instead of stopping 30 meters from each other, exchanged a few words and engage in any duel. If not, then the C4 will detonate if she gets past the 20-meter mark. The explosion will throw her off enough for me and CC to finish her off.
I can use it anytime as long as I get her into position and the duel will be mine. But again, honor.I set the term and I won't violate it. Explosives are off limit until after the duel starts.
Cornelia Sutherland came to a halt exactly 30 meters away. She pointed her opens at us and yelled something about defeating me in the name of Britannia. I wasn't listening since I was too busy yelling at CC though our private comlink.
"What make you assume I'm lesbian!",I think we argue as Cornelia got here, during the fight, and throughout the missions,"You saw me kiss Suzaku. Why do you continue to insist I swing like that?"
"It just a feeling every time I'm near you. And I didn't say you're lesbian, I mean you also like girls...Tell me, why don't you go into detail about your apparent time travel. Sayoko and I know you're holding back. I thought you trust us?"
"But what does it have to do with my sexual preferences?"
"You talk in your sleep you know?",she spoke with a snide tone.
Oh God, don't tell me I slip up!
"Listen to me!"
"I'm trying to have a conversation here!",I snapped on the speaker.
"Lady Zero? Duel? Remember?",CC pointed out.
Meanwhile, Kallen, Sayoko, and ¼ of Japan facepalmed. The other ¾ laugh or roll their eyes at the immaturity on live TV.
Turning red with embarrassment, I examined the Gloucester and came up with every contingency of every possible move and weapon Cornelia would use. If she charges with her jousting lance, the building with the weakened support beam to the right will halt her and we will pepper her with HE rounds. If she waits for us to start, CC would scatter and attack from another angle while I distract her. IF she uses a chaos mine as her opening, both of us will deploy smoke bombs to blur her line of sight and depending on the location; take the fight underground or in a small confined space where the lighter, smaller Sutherland has the advantage.
"Are we using all our weapons for the duel?",Cornelia asked.
"Yes", I answered,"Besides, the condition state that we try not to kill each other, no outside interferences, and we honor our deal."
"I got to admit Zero, for a no good terrorist. You're honorable", she got into a stance with lance draw behind her and one-handed Knightmare assault SMG aimed at us.
"I always wanted to challenge the witch of Britannia. I'm not lying if I didn't have respect for a woman of your status", I got my assault rifle ready while CC-mount her stun tonfas, just as plan.
"Interesting", Cornelia said,"Then let me give you a duel Zero! Once I win, I will ensure you and your accomplice will be given a fair trial."
"Ready?",Both Cecilia and I double check everything and switch to private com-link.
"I recognize the stance. She's planning to divide and conquer", I told CC,"I want us to cover behind the building when it happens. Cut off her line of sight if she charges or uses a chaos mine."
"Got it."
"For Britannia!",She charges at me and fires the SMG at CC. Preparing for this exact move, CC and I divide like Cornelia wanted to. CC and I did in-depth analysis and even explore the ghetto after school was we will have our duel. We know all the corners and building within the given area. In a sense, we have a home field advantage.
I skidded down an alleyway and CC down back roads, we were both out of sight of my sister and heading the opposite direction of one another. Cornelia could choose to pursue one of us and her KMF will outrun and outmaneuver us so we must be careful. Therefore, we need to take advantage of our numbers and Cornelia mindset. Her charge against me was a fake out. The amplify internal speaker in my KMF picked up on her coming to a halt and charging CC with her lance. So I halted.
"CC she coming after you! Drop dead!",She quickly hit the ground and fire her slash harken toward me. I knew Cornelia would go after CC first because she wants a climatic, theatrical battle between leaders. She knows I was in a black Sutherland and immediately target CC.
Everyone in Knightmare training 101 knows dainty stun tonfa against a heavily armored Gloucester charging right at you with a tri-pronged lance will win 100% of the time.
"So predictable", I smiled as I halted my advance. The cape on Cornelia frame isn't just for cosmetic. It can tank my assault rounds. Cornelia frame moves too fast for me to respond and fire before it collides with CC's.
The moment she turns the corner to run down CC while suppressing me with the SMG, a slash harkens nearly struck her. The witch of Britannia most likely smirked before the slash harkens retract and did something unexpected. CC pink Sutherland was dragging itself rapidly down the backroad and bringing a stun tonfa into the leg of the Gloucester, tripping it. Cornelia has got to be cursing about it as the frame hit the ground with a thud.
The Gloucester wasn't built to stab downward fast enough to impale the ground target. An interesting tidbit from researching the specs on a Gloucester.
The Slash Harken fired and just missing the arrow shaped metal piece. I grab the coil landed right into the free hand of my KMF as I single hand my rifle and fire at Cornelia. I was moving in full reverse so CC and I wouldn't be pulled toward each other.
I was only able to get off a few shot when the Gloucester was able to recover enough to raise the lance to block off the rounds. Once CC was a safe distance away, I release the slash harken and she pulls herself up.
Normal PoV
"God damn it!",Cornelia cursed,"Clever trick, but I still got the superior frame!"
The witch made a split second decision, realizing that their very little room for the Sutherlands to maneuver in an alleyway. She reaches for the chaos mine and hurled it at the two, knowing that shrapnel will force them to flee in either two directions, further down or toward her.
"If you two won't evade this.",She spoke to herself.
"CC! Smoke bomb!",Luluko commanded as white smoke disperses from CC knightmare. Seconds later, The cylinder shaped container unleash its deadly payload into the white smoke. Then two explosion lit up inside the sea of white.
"What?! They didn't attempt to run? Zero and her accomplice took the hit and got themselves killed? Fools!",Cornelia was shocked by the turn of event. She expected a better fight from the two or anything beyond tripping her and taking pot shots. It seems like it's over until a gut feeling hits her.
'No! It's not over!'
Everywhere in Japan, Britannian is cheering in joy and laughing at the swift demise of the so-called terrorists. Her men cheered and upon receiving word of their general triumph, the remaining Royal Guard gain a morale boost as they fought more intensely against Luluko Geass squadron.
The Japanese are in shock as the camera set up all over the battle site capture the 'destruction' of the two KMF.
Kallen refuse to believe Luluko and CC failed so easier. A few terrorists started leaving in disappointment, uttering how much of a failure Zero was.
Toudoh was about to turn off the TV when he analyzes the defensive stance her KMF still held. It was further confirmed when the TV set broadcast Lady Zero voice and an onboard camera. It pans to a hole where she was 'blown up'. It turns out, they'll in the subway system. Then it zooms to show C4 package lining a specific area.
"Now. Now. Did you really think I fall so easily?", the C4 detonate causing the old, crumble tunnels to collapse in on itself and bringing down the Gloucester above it.
The 2nd Princess was taken by surprise, she launches her slash harkens at the nearest building to anchor herself, only to have it shot out the way by a rifle belonging to the black Sutherland. The fall wasn't too far and the KMF landed on its feet, but it rattles the princess inside. The Gloucester right landspinner is decommissioned from landing at an awkward angle.
Now, she was trapped with only two directions to go.
The telltale sound of landspinner head towards her and she barely block a pair of stun tonfa with her lance. CC try everything she can to get pass the lance. But the witch ends up having to repeatedly strike the lance or dodge rounds from the SMG.
"I think she distracted long enough", Luluko radio into CC. The witch realizing that enough time for her to keep the 2nd princess on the defensive lifted both tonfas high above her head and brought it down. The Gloucester counter by switching the lance upward to parry away both tonfas and leave a wide opening to fill the chest with rounds from the SMG.
CC frame was heavily damaged as 3 large holes open in it chassis. The shots force the pink Sutherland onto its back. Cornelia kept her word and only took the KMF out of commission as she lifted the lance up to deliver a finishing non-lethal blow. The lance was position above the Sutherland before hearing the sound of bullets pinging off her frame.
Luluko used the distraction to take an alternate route through the subway and got behind the violette.
Cornelia knows that she must deal with Zero frame immediately when some of the bullets started to wear down the dense armor, which her console indicate. She decides to charge at the Black Sutherland, not before firing a few round into the pink frame legs to keep it stationary.
Even if it was undamaged, CC Sutherland wouldn't be able to catch up to a Gloucester when it's charging. All she can do is switch out her stun tonfas for arm mounted guns. The round wasn't strong enough to pierce the armor and cape of the Gloucester as it barrels down the revolutionary leader.
Luluko planned out all the only available option, the most dangerous path. She can't outrun Cornelia in a narrow tunnel nor can she halt her with a hail of bullets. Even with one working landspinner, the Gloucester quickly closed in.
Luluko understands she must take Cornelia head on. Bracing for the impact, she threw the rifle away and within a second the lance was a mere 5 meter away. Under an unskilled hand, the Sutherland would be impaled. But when you're an above average pilot, a gambler, and a strategic genius, the answer is blatant.
4 meter, She jerk the Sutherland to the right and at the same time, started lifting both arms of the Sutherland.
3 meter and 2 meters, Luluko knows she misses the main point of the lance, but the one to the side will clip her. It's still a good trade off.
1 meter and contact, the lance torn through the side of the Sutherland. At the same time, Luluko hooked onto the arm holding the SMG and using the momentum of the Gloucester and the weight of the Sutherland. Luluko was able to make Cornelia frame change direction and slam right into the wall of the tunnel. The force sends massive crack and quake. Dust and debris kicked up from the wall and the ground itself.
The sudden change in force cause the lance to knocked off the Gloucester unbounded hand and onto the ground. Cornelia was barely able to register the turn of event when once she was slammed into the tunnel wall, the whiplash knocked her head into the console of the frame.
A gash in her forehead formed as blood gush out. Her vision starts to blur and her ears ringed. Every inch of her body aches, not yet aware that Luluko with still enough momentum left over, ripped the arm holding the SMG right off.
The witch of Britannia snapped out of her stupor, only to not only see on the onboard monitor that one of her arms is gone and then suddenly her other KMF arm report massive strain before bending at the elbow. But before Cornelia can try to do anything as she frantically attempts to move her Gloucester, Luluko lifted one of her KMF foot and brought it down onto the last landspinner.
Now unarmed, crippled, and disoriented. It was safe to assumed…
"This Duel is over", She announced, knowing she set up a camera outside of her knightmare and a few in the tunnels to capture Cornelia defeat. Thank God, she 'charm' a surveillance crew to set it all up. It isn't odd for a crew of Britannian soldiers guarding men setting up cameras to keep watch over the area. It a normal practice to deter terrorist attacks.
Lady Miracle walks over to the assault rifle she discarded, confident she was victorious.
Unfortunately, the Goddess of War has another plan. With only her slash harkens left, she fires one to free herself and another hurling at Luluko. The revolutionary frame barely has enough time to jump back. The force of the harken scratch the paint of the Sutherland and dig into the subway walls. The teen girl suspected Cornelia would do this, grabbed the coiled of the embedded harken, yank it out and plan to beat the Knightmare till it offline. Ever ignoring the other harken fired at her, taking out her other arm.
It didn't slow the 3rd princess down one bit as she stabs the slash harken into the head of the Gloucester. The result was an automatic ejection; right into the Knightmare size imprint moments earlier. The cockpit hit the wall with a loud crash and fell to the ground. The headless Gloucester got onto its knees and fell forward.
The whole Area has varying degrees of emotion. The terrorists in the warehouse were celebrating.
"Woooo-whoooo!",Tamaki was practically jumping around the hideout,"Did you see that?! She uses the royal dirtbag own slash harken against her!"
"The Brits has got to demoralize!",another terrorist chimed in.
"She still needs to push the Britannian pigs out of my ghetto before I cooperate", the leader of the Saitama ghetto voiced.
"Screw that! She has been tearing Britannia a new one from Shinjuku to Saitama! Either with absolute victory for Japan or a costly one for Britannia!",Kallen argued.
Kallen Kozuki realizes that for the first time, Japan may have another chance. She felt something special about Luluko vi Britannia when she came to fight and command them.
So with a yell above all the loud voices, she got the entire room to be quiet.
Clearing her throat, her voice boomed,"We're all here today because of Lady Zero! She has helped all of us. Look at what she has done. For example...Assassin Club!"
She pointed at the Jujo cell members near the back," When you were pinned down at Mt. Kobu-shigatake. Who came to the rescue?"
"You guys?"
"Lead by who?"
"Lady Zero."
"And now you have enough anti-KMF stringers and ammo to wipe out half a military base."
"YA!", a chorus of agreement sound throughout the warehouse.
"What about the high-grade Type 3 bulletproof vest?"
"YA!"
"My brother, Naoto Kozuki, the former resistance leader of Shinjuku. He dreams of triumph over our oppressor, just like all of us. He died a martyr like so many of our own. We all lost friends, comrade, and family."
A solemn mood persisted. As the Red Ace continue.
"Whenever she leads, We lost few, but gain many. A perfect example is Akabane", Kallen refer to the group near the front," Did you lost 8 of your men, but gain shiny new Sutherlands and arms?",they nodded,"That not counting the rise in recruitment!"
"She's right!"
"That right! If you still have doubt then leave the room immediately!"
The crowd remains still as seconds pass by and a single person left. Within the eyes of every terrorist was a newfound vigor that as long as Lady Zero still provide miracles. They will win.
Meanwhile, with Luluko and CC
'Damn Kallen', she watches with interested,'doing my job for me.'
The 3rd princess makes sure to put a hidden camera to see what going on at the hideout. It appears things are going her way...A lot more than expected. The plan seems too perfect.
Lady Zero thought CC would comment on it like,'Oh look, Your waifu outdoing you' or ' jealous?'.
Lulu would deny either claim. Then again, there's a far more pressing issue at hand.
"Cornelia? Can you hear me?"
The camera was still rolling but she felt like speed dialing Diethard to turn them off...after he shut up about the highest rating he has since Suzaku rescue.
"Cornelia?"
No response.
The revolutionary knows her sister must take one to many hit to the CC tripped her Gloucester, it wouldn't do much. Neither will fall down a hole. But slamming her into a concrete wall and then cause a point blank ejection into the same wall. The ejection system is strong enough to send a metallic box and it pilot 500 m at the most down range or 50 m at the lowest. But either range, it a high probability Cornelia not walking out of her cockpit anytime soon or if she's still alive.
'Big Sis! Please be okay. I know you're tougher than that!', the Ashford ice queen felt her eyes water," How can I face Euphemia if the worse were to happen."
Elsewhere, Guilford, Dalton, and another royal guard are left to fight a 3 vs 4 battle. They expected their superior training and frame would crush the scums. Only to receive confusions when the lowly terrorists fight as well or ever better than them. Even if they bought the entire Royal Squadron. Their numbers drop from 9 proud defenders to 3 trapped animals. The battle can go either way with the comfort that their general-princess is off to finish off Zero and bring order back to Area 11. Her IFF signal gives them hope they will get through this. Then once it disappears.
The moment of distraction allows for another to fall as a barrage of gunfire destroy the cockpit and knightmare. Guilford narrowly avoids the same hail of sakuradite infuses lead with Dalton not being as brown hair man failed to move out the way of a slash harken as the impact the right knee of the frame and took it clean off. The last two Gloucester are now outnumbered 2 to 1. Cornelia knight of honor has the only functional Knightmare and even it displays dent and burn marks.
The last functional Gloucester came to the aid of his immobile comrade and drag him to a low hanging highway underpass, returning fire to keep the 4 Sutherland off his back. There was enough cover ranging from abandoned car and pieces of the highway to cover behind. But those defenses are temporary.
"Bastard!",the personal knight hissed,"I will crush all of you."
"Guilford!",the older man yelled," I just got off communication with the G-1. Cornelia lost and she's unresponsive."
Punching the side of his cockpit in anger the Knight screamed,"Dammit! I failed her."
"Listen, She told us not interfere but I want you to go rescue her", Dalton planned," I'll hold these filthy Elevens off."
"I can't leave a brother-in-arms behind!",Guilford losing his lance long ago, he was forced to use one of his fallen comrade KMF assault rifles as they are pinned down with both entrances blocked.
"Our purpose is to serve her highness. You're breaking the oath if you remain at my side", the older knight reasoned as he fires his rifle at another Sutherland and clips pieces off the shoulder before it dashes to cover," I ask you as her knight and her lover."
"What?!"
"I'm not an idiot Gilbert. I know how the two of you act outside of work", he joked before around nearly struck his cockpit," This old man not retiring yet! Leave these fifth to me!"
Gilbert understands the reasoning and concur. It might be the last time he may see his old friend.
"It's was an honor serving you", he nodded, "How am I getting out of this?"
"I have a plan."
Moments later, One side of the overpass partly collapse from the two Gloucester sustain fire. The two Sutherland on the side of the collapse were unharmed and are already cleaning over the rubble to continue firing. They were barely over the ridge when Guilford frame launches out the underpass and sped away from them. The two Sutherland fire at the escapee before noticing a small cylinder toss behind them. On reflex, the two scurry over the ridge and under the low overpass were Dalton was ready to meet them.
He was determined to buy enough time for Guilford to save the princess. It didn't matter if the Elevens in the Sutherland have proven to be as good, if not better than the guards themselves.
So raising a KMF assault rifle in one hand and a KMF SMG in the other he bellowed," Let me show you how a real Britannian die!"
The personal knight head to the center of the ghetto with one, no two thought on his mind, Save the princess and kill Zero.
"I'm coming for you Zero!"
Near the G-1
The surrounding area of the G-1 held a somber tone. Men loyal to Cornelia were in a panic when any attempt to communicate with her was nigh. The pureblood held a moment of silence expecting the worse with one member sobbing.
The tears he's shedding isn't because another member of the royal family is dead or unresponsive. The moment it was announced Cornelia lost was the moment he reminded of his steadfast loyalty to the daughter of his idol.
"Lord Jeremiah", Villetta Nu look at him with concern in her eyes.
From an outside perspective, their Pureblood leader, the most loyal to the royal family and Britannia was broken.
"I'm fine", he wiped the tears away,"It just too much to handle."
'Ahahaha! You did it! Forgot Cornelia! She couldn't hold a candle to your expertise my lady.'
"I swear I will avenge my honor!",Kewell clenches his fist.
'I will accidentally kill you with friendly fire Kewell, don't test me.'
"We have to do something!",Villeta responded,"We must go save her!"
"Sorry, sir! But-"
"No!', the knight of Orange snapped,"We'll give specific orders from her highness to stay behind. If you want to dishonor us any further then I will shot you personally! Are we clear!"
"But they're heading to the Ghetto! Sir!",Kewell pointed at a squadron of Sutherland's heading into the city.
"Not for long! Tell the acting commander to stop them", He headed towards the group of Sutherland, he stops in front of them with guns pointed.
"Hey! Move out the way! We got to save her highness!",a single custom Sutherland stood in the way of the only route into the city, against 15 KMF and a few dozen tanks.
"If you're not watching it on your phone or in contact with command! Our princess is at the mercy of Zero. The moment we come en masse is the moment she will execute her. If you care for her highness safety, remain back until a plan of attack is formed", He spoke vocally, uncaring about the guns trained on him,"And what the guarantee if we could make it to the center of town without being routed by the terrorists hiding in every corner."
'The buff must work. All of Lady Luluko forces in Saitama is nearly gone. Her other forces are scattered throughout Tokyo and its surrounding area.'
"Fine", the lead frame scoffed,"the commander told us to hold back anyway. You're lucky Pureblood. We would have shot and called you a traitor."
It wasn't long until Villeta was by his side,"That was insane of you!"
"I'm not wrong. If we rush in. More lives will be lost. Then the resulting losses may break the formation."
She nodded in agreement, not knowing that Jeremiah doing everything possible to follow his lady orders.
"CC, please tell me I didn't accidentally kill my sister", The 3rd Princess voice was shaky.
"You totally didn't whiplash your sister, not one but twice into a solid wall", Cecilia relax inside her downed pink frame.
"I'm being serious! How can I face Euphemia if I badly injure her older sister", She panicked,"Or worse!"
"Do you hear that?"
"Hear wh-"
"ZERO!",The scream was from north of them and filled with hatred and rage. It sounded familiar to the leader of the Black Knights.
"Crap, That's Guilford! He broke through my Geass squadron!",She worried and started formulating a plan of attack. She and CC have time to train and counter Cornelia, but outside attack is a different story. Especially if the interference from One of Cornelia elites.
"What the plan?",CC try moving her frame but barely got into a crouching position with the damaged leg screeching in protest.
"First, Diethard going to cut off the camera for only 10 seconds…"
Arriving at the scene of the battle, he saw a hole in the center of the street. He would have figured it was created from the invasion if he wasn't in the center of the ghetto and the last signal Cornelia KMF emitted. So ignoring whether or not it was a trap, he jumps in and what rewarded him was a silhouette of Zero herself standing on top of a down Sutherland. He took a quick look at his surroundings to see Cornelia destroyed frame and cockpit.
The outside of the royal guard KMF speaker was able to pick up on Zero snide comment,"Look like your wife was such a weakling.."
In anger, foregoing all thought and rationality, he rushed at Zero not realizing 4 key detail.
Zero was dress like a mock Cornelia, Zero was in a Black Sutherland, the cockpit of the Gloucester is missing, and she wouldn't say something that guarantees her death. If you read between the lines, 'her death'.
The figure remains as stiff as a mannequin.

Three
As he charges at the terrorist, Guilford intends to smash Lady Zero into a bloody pulp.
Two
The KMF was barely meters away until impact. It swings its fist forward.
One
The metallic hand was inches away from the helmet of Zero.
ZERO
Contact and explosion, the entire subway collapse as the bombs went off.
Guilford IFF signal was lost...and moments later, so was Dalton.
In a span of 30 minutes, the best Knightmare pilots and current Viceroy fell right into Zero trap. Maybe a little too well.
The explosion cut off all cameras within the tunnels systems. No one knew if the bombs set were large enough to obliterate an entire block or only a Knightmare. But it was visible from the Brigade blockading the ghetto.
Sensing the explosion, Luluko carried Cornelia cockpit in her arm with CC originally hanging onto the shoulder of the frame before Luluko open the hatch on the Black Frame to allow the witch to crawl in and sit on her lap.
"A mannequin?",CC was astonished,"How did you even come up with it?"
"In the original timeline, Saitama was a huge failure because of my arrogance and since the Yamato Alliance are a bunch of fu*king pussies. I could've been caught if you didn't save me when you disguise yourself as Zero", Luluko explained 'truthfully',"Incase I need not one body double but two. I asked for an extra costume for this plan. If you think I was overdoing it with the contingency I made you memorize. Just remember that was just the tip of the iceberg."**
"That my little revolutionary", CC shook her hips seductively.
"I DON'T SWING LIKE THAT!"
Government Building
"Euphemia li Britannia, as of this moment. You're the Viceroy of Area 11", a breaded government official told the depress princess as she held her head down.
"There still no response from her?",she asked with a hint of fear.
"No, your highness. She still not responding and we can't track her. It best to fear the worse. After what happen on live TV...I'm sorry", he left the office.
The Pinkett got out the swivel chair and look out the window, at the general direction of Saitama.
"Please be okay", A single tear stream down her complexion.
Diethard Office
"Ahahaha! 150 million views worldwide! Thank you, Lady Zero! Outbeat Clovis funeral by 26 million, you theatrical genius!",the Britannian news manager was overjoyed.
'Hopefully, I still can keep my job after today. If not? Who cares! I'm going to document the rise of a new era.'
"DIEHARD! OPEN UP! YOU GOT SOME EXPLAINING TO DO!",The CEO of the news network banged aggressively on the door with 2 security guard flanking him.
It wasn't long till Diethard open the door and give a convincing explanation. After he has his arms restraint by the guards.
"No, I'm not a sympathizer. I'm a man of the media who thought it would be a boost to the propaganda of Britannia if Cornelia emerges triumphs against an over egotistical anarchist. You yourself didn't say anything to shut down the broadcast for a whole 30 minutes", he ranted," Is it because you know the benefit of our high rating and aftermath will bring our network to the top. So fire me if you want. Try finding another organizer as good as me."
"Fine, you win . If I find you pulling another stunt like that. I'm not the one who going after your head! Release him", The CEO left with the guards and slam the door behind him.
'That was close. I need to warn Lady Zero pronto.'
Saitama underground Tunnel
Luluko PoV
"Now that out of the way", I couldn't believe how successful everything was thus far. It wants better than anticipated. All I need now is to reveal the Black Knights. I call my loyal Ace,"CC take over."
"Ya sure, Be sure to buy extra pizza after today."
"Kallen."
…
…
Odd?
…
...
"Zero buddy!"
"Tamaki? Where Kallen?",I raise a brow.
"She busy rallying half the cells within Tokyo and the countryside", he replied back as I hear them chanting my name. Praise Geass the local soldiers, cops, and civilians are turning a blind eye to my operation. The place would have been swarming with Britannian once word of a huge gathering of Japanese in an abandoned warehouse, chanting Zero is heard. I double check the surrounding area is mostly filled with Sympathizers.
"That's great and all but could you shut everyone up and put the DVD in the player for my next instruction?"
"Why couldn't you tell us now?"
"The video will explain everything", I hang up.
In the Warehouse, Tamaki was able to silence the chanting once he found the DVD.
The moment it starts, a white emblem appears on a black screen, it was the Black Knights symbol. The screen later cut to Lady Zero sitting in a chair of a hospital? A white curtain was drawn behind her as she set formally with hands on her lap.
"If you're all watching this. Then that mean you sworn an oath to me because the battle of Saitama was a success or a pyrrhic victory to them. So as a reward, I will show you a miracle", She paused,"There a reason why I'm here in a hospital because of the coward behind this curtain."
Lady Zero motion with one hand before grabbing the curtain and dragging it away to reveal…
"No fu*king way."
"No, this isn't some fake lookalike. This really is Clovis failed Britannia. It's a miracle I found him and a miracle I left without them knowing I was here", she got out of the chair and stood next to Clovis,"I could end him right here and now. But that's too merciful don't you think? His reputation is ruined. He's now the outcast, the trash of the royal family. Give him time to suffer then we end him or use him."
"But that bring me to my next point. If I, the most wanted women in Japan, being here in this 'top secret hospital' is only one of my miracles. How many miracles can I do if I have an Army behind me to accomplish them? That why from this day forth. All of you are now the Knight of Justice, the Black Knights. A counter force to the White Knights of Britannia. The simple request tonight is for everyone to follow my orders. Because of tonight, if all of you bathe in the fire of true conflict and follow my command to the letter. You will become knights capable of stopping Britannia."
"The only thing all of you have to do today is to get in uniforms that are in the don't touch yet sections of the warehouse. An army needs matching uniform and as a side note, Ladies and Tamaki, I recommend not waiting for the miniskirt on the battlefield. We don't need casualty of fashion."
It earned a few chuckles, cat calls, and whispers. Then a loud outburst by a certain comic relief.
"Now back to the matter. There separate locker rooms to change and put your clothes away. I will contact you again in 30 minute top. But for now, I'm currently starting the first step of the plan. Expect a blackout."
Back to Luluko
I decide to get the ball rolling.
I called the Geass SAS Operatives or my fake Black Knights.
"Who this?"
"Is this Neptune and Sun?",I spoke knowing the call is monitored.
"Sorry, wrong number."
"Sorry bye" I hung up. Now Operation Sunken Neptune and Rising Sun begin. I give it 8 minutes before I know the layout of every major military installation and manufacturing. Along with gaining material to supplement the boost in manpower, I'm getting.
Next person.
"Hey this is Lady Zero", I dialed the terrorists, who own me a favor. They are scattered throughout Tokyo and will launch a large number of smaller terrorist attack on important targets. I left them with details on how to attack and fade away before authorities organize. The sewers and old subway system is their best hope.
"Lady Zero? Everyone ready and accounted for. What the signal?"
"When Saint Darwin base goes dark and the shipyard on fire. That's when you attack. Remember to follow the instructions I left behind if you want to make it out alive."
"I'll tell the others", he hanged up.
Then one more call. The small army of Geass soldiers ready to gassed a whole military base of their fellow comrade. They wouldn't know what hit them.
"Hello? This is ze, Major."
"Yes, I would like if you take a very long enthusiastic walk", I said.
"Will do."
Fort Darwin
Break Room
Base Security
"Change that shit, Robin!",a Britannian soldier yelled.
"Bro, this is history in the making", Robin, a private first class commented,"You think she's the real deal?"
"No", another soldier spoke up as he lounged on a reclining chair,"She messin with the best damn military in the world. Who cares if she can take down a general in a one on one duel. If things get too heated, there such a thing as blitzkrieg ya know?"
"Alright, Shepard. Got a point there. I give it another week till she gets the shaft", Private Robin agree finally changing the channel to sports.
"I wouldn't mind showing Lady Zero my shaft", a soldier grinned as he walks in the room.
"Dude, she could be an Eleven", Shepard pointed out.
"And Eleven's got some of the finest looking girls than most of the Area's", he reasoned,"Look, it's time for a shift change. You and your jar heads are on Base Security."
Then the announcement was made.
"This is the Major, Neil Armatris. All non-essential and non-security troops and workers are to report to the cafeteria. And all civilians are to be evacuated from base till further notices. There an important announcement regarding recent events. I repeat…"
"Aww, luck of the draw. I have to get off my lazy ass, act as security, and escort civilian out", Shepard whined.
"Chill your tits", Robin insulted before his eyes temporarily turn an orange-red hue," We got a job to do."
"Damn straight, I'm the one who needs to attend some propaganda BS before being lead off my lease to kill some Elevens", the soldier grimaced,"Anyway, you know the drill."
He walks off to deposit the rifle in the armory as every soon to be guards look to each other with eyes glowing a red-orange hue.
"We will fulfill our duty", the 6 soldiers spoke at the same time, making the soon to switch soldier feel odd.
"Damn, um...The others have shown be here soon so suit and load up. And shoot anyone with the wrong ideas", he continued to the locker room which is on the other side of the break room. The man was unaware of the chain of events that is going to transpire.
5 minutes later, all Civilians are evacuated, the switching of the guards are complete, and all non-essential/non-guards including Honorary Britannian are in the mess hall. The Honorary Britannian are segregated towards the corner of the mess hall like always.
The Major was standing at the far end of the large room, large enough to give the announcements. Every personnel and worker gather were unaware of what really going on.
Outside of the mess hall. Geass special forces Soldiers disguised as Black Knight operatives are nonlethally knocking out nongeass workers and guards. Meanwhile, the guards and workers are either turning a blind eye as their allies are taken out in front of them or even helping in some cases.
An example being, a ungeassed officer spotted one of the 'Black Knights'. He was about to sound the alarm before his trustworthy subordinated knocked him out before he can even yell. The 'Black Knights' and the conspirators make quick work of the nongeass personal. Which wasn't much to begin with. Then onto the next part of the plan.
The Major was keeping the bulk of the base busy by talking about the new mandate, issues, and protocol in place. It wasn't a lie, he needs to do them regardless. The next phase involves the mess hall being flooded with sleeping gas. But first, there will be a 'brief firefight'.
The BKs shot and killed several of the guards before well place flashbang stun them long enough to be taken out non-lethally, same for most of the workers.
The mess hall was in an uproar as the armed Britannian soldiers reach for their weapon before the telltale sound of hissing gas and white fog rolled from the vents. Many try shooting and breaking the doors or windows. The doors were blocked beforehand but some windows were broken. The only problem being the fast acting gas took out the majority of the occupants with a few dozen who's slip out the windows are met with tranquilizer darts from the waiting 'Black Knights'. Barely a minute later, the 'Black Knights' threw out flyers and cards with the Black Knight logo.
The next phase of the plan is the speedy funneling of military hardware and weapons to the drop-off point. The fake Black Knights didn't have to do anything but open the gates and allow the others inside. But beforehand…
A few geass workers were left to maintain communications until it shut down. Their job is to report to superiors, the base is still functional and absolutely nothing is wrong. The raid wouldn't be known until after the places are strip off everything.
One of the 'Black Knights' pick up his radio and change to a specific channel,"Nest Taken. Eggs ready for removal"
Luluko who's now a km away from the Saitama barricade, she was heading to a 'loyalist noble mansion' to drop off Cornelia and use it as the base of operation. The former princess was planning to hold out there with Cornelia cockpit in the garage; guarded by the noble personal defense. A mansion that no Britannian soldiers would suspect the leader of the firestorm is commanding from. Luluko basically behind enemy line.
"Good, now escort the arriving terrorists to the weapons. Follow the script I wrote you and after all, this is done. Change back into your real uniform, burn the Black Knights outfit, and knock yourselves out with the gas. I want you to make it seem like you were beaten by the superiority of my Knights. Got it? Then you will no longer by my slaves."
"Yes Ma'am", he switches off communication.
The revolutionary then promptly called the terrorists,"It's time."
Luluko PoV
Once I got to the mansion after a few more minutes of moving through the old subways. I reach the end of the tunnel and head north till I say a lavish white wall mansion.A few men in black suits with AR-15 escorted my Sutherland to a massive underground garage where the guy luxury cars are moved to another location. I drop off the cockpit in order to let them deal with it and park the Sutherland for later use. I needed to keep the frame low in order for it to fit despite the spacious interior.
A dozen guards are posted so they can keep watch of both. I need to worry about Cornelia another time. If I want to open it, fearing the person inside is nothing but a bloody mes-No! She okay...I didn't kill Cornelia...She just...incapacitated.
I need a few doctors and nurses to make sure she's okay. The unexpected capture and critical injury really threw a wrench in my schedule. Now I need to find someone to look over her at the last minute. So I ask the owner of the mansion to get some high-end doctors to come over.
Everyone in the 7000 sq ft, 3 stories are under my command. I have a very good view of Tokyo from up here, especially the shipyard where at any moment. Data for all the positions and intel will be unloaded on one of the laptops in the private office on the 3rd floor. The other are manned by tech experts who helping me coordinate my commands to the terrorists below. The 6 of them have foldable chairs and tables as their workstation.
CC was by my side as I enter the spacious office with the geass tech experts saluting me before getting back to work at their stations. I took a seat at a red velvet, hardback chair with my laptop on a finely crafted redwood desk. Behind the chair is a board detailing the plan for tonight. Sheets of paper detailing total troops number and military statistic, a map of Tokyo with different colored pins dotted it, subway maps(both from pre-war and post-war) with highlighted escape, supplies, and entry route, and sticker notes here and there.
I'm basically starting the Black Rebellion or a miniature version of it from some noble offices instead of my Gawain. I have my phone(s), a laptop and geass tech experts on desktops to run the multistage operation. I have been a very busy girl the past two weeks.
Barely a moment after I sat down, an encrypted file pop on screen. When I clicked it, pop up of blueprints, security codes, communication frequency, exact manpower, and the arrive time and location of my precious Gawain are at my fingertips. I also receive programs that allow me to access almost every single government and military cameras from ATMs, traffic, surveillance, and personal devices. I'm going to have so much fun.
I'm not some fancy hacker, the tech guys I geass are. But from Lelouch memories, I know once I export the fatal flaws in Britannia security, they will patch it and make countermeasure to keep a 'script kiddie' like me from reusing.
Seconds after that, an explosion shook the room and I turn my head to the window to find the shipyard is on fire. It seems my geass SAS crippled Britannia navy capability; Operation Sunken Neptune a success. I already took down ¼ of their military at Gawain and the next largest concentration is at Saitama. The rest are scattered at checkpoints and outpost throughout the city. If only I could take care of the airfield further south, but my resource would be stretched too far. And also, as skilled as I am, I could only command a limited amount of manpower at once.
Then I need to factor in law enforcements since they are more than capable of interfering with my plan. I can handle them if I shut down communication and power for both the military and cops. While keeping civilian and Terrorists power on. It only takes a handful of police officers to redirect civilian from the main attack, especially my friends. Ashford should have a few policemen at the gate and on the school ground.
From the start of Saitama to right now, approximately 1 ½ hours. I took out the Viceroy and the royal guards, temporary shutdown their largest standing military base(about to be strip of military supplies), inspire Japan and brought the majority of the cells under my control, knock out their navy and local air force, and I will soon disrupt the enemy's communication and abysmal morale.
I can't believe everything going the way I want it! And I planned it! Maybe I'll curb stomp Britannia, the Eunuch, kill Charles, and get a happy ending, unlike Lelouch. Suzaku will be mine, Euphemia will live, Nunnally dream realize, Shirley lives, hopefully Rolo too (I find him adorable and loyal), stop Ragnarok, no SAZ, no Narita landslide, no FLEIJA, Rai saved, Mao took care of (easily), and everything happening the way I want it too. All because of memories from the future. I feel like crying in joy but I need to save my tears.
I was able to secure the security camera feeds from the military base. I spotted a convoy of 6 jeeps,2 Sutherland's, 4 Construction frames, and 14 armor trucks heading to the front gates. I zoom into one of the drivers and noticed he was Japanese and obviously nervous. Bingo.
The terrorists, who were going to raid the military base are understandably anxious. The only things they were told was to wear the fake uniforms and drive stolen equipment to the front gate. They show to meet with a quote,'Britannia defectors' who will guide them to the armory and other vital locations.
When they were inside, they got off their vehicle and stare down the Britannia Knights. It wasn't until I called the leader of the group from Akabane that there nothing to worry about and she should hurry before the troops start waking.
Everything was a fury of activities as crates after crates were loaded into the trucks with the help of the construction frame on base and bought over. I estimate enough supplies are able to support 5000 men or the entire JFL. But now I have more guns and KMF for the 300 or so terrorists; number expected to rise. I need to store it somewhere. Luckily, I know dirty pigs who are moving and lending me their second home as chess winnings. The tunnel where I keep the 2 stories luxury RV is too small and I didn't get my submarine or dry dock yet.
The military base wasn't near any large population center, but further outside the city with military housing and essentials around it.
Therefore, any shot fired and activities seen or heard from any onlookers would be dismissed as normal everyday routine. But with what going on in the city, the large influx of men and munition would seem necessary. Unbeknownst to them, it's not going to help Britannia.
The only reason why I plan the brief firefight is to throw off the suspicion that Geass was involved. The directorate was looking into my Geass the moment I killed Clovis. Hence the reason why I kept him alive. Don't get me wrong, I wanted to kill him so badly. Even the Geass squadron in Saitama has 'incriminating evidences' that said they did it of their own free will.
I can kill his guards, I mean to have them kill themselves because Charles wouldn't take the time to converse with faceless nobodies in C-World. I can knock off a few people as long as it looks like my power wasn't involved. I was fortunate that CC didn't tell my mother the Geass I wield but misinform her. My mother and the Emperor think my Geass is very limited because it requires me to touch someone. That's very convincing because fortunately and unfortunately, CC make it sound like I'm a seductress who has the power to manipulate a man by putting my bare skin on someone else's. Thank Cecilia, I guess making people fall in love isn't the same premise.
It means I can't walk into a military base and say,'Lelouch vi..damnit...Luluko vi Britannia orders all of you to die'. The mass suicide would be investigated by detectives and the investigation would be shut down by the Geass Directorate who wouldn't want any local law enforcements to snoop around. But they'll be the one to look into it.
In Lelouch universe, Charles and the 2nd Prince use the knowledge of my Geass to their advantage. In conclusion, I need to misinform them and delay the knowledge of my Geass.
So much planning. I really need an extended break after today, maybe a weekend off life period. I can ask Sayoko to make some mopo tofu and a strawberry sunrise. I can possibly make Suzaku give me a message in the meantime, I think he will be okay with it if he isn't too mad. If not then Shirley. I don't trust Milly and CC perverse hands.
"Why are you blushing Princess?"
"S-Shut up witch!"

"We can't wait here any longer", a young acting commander, a recent graduate of the Boston Military Academy,"Put me online with the whole army."
"Yes, sir."
"All personal. We are going to move forward slowly and carefully while maintaining battle lines. First, we must block off all exits including the tunnels and then we will keep eyes out for IEDs and hostiles. I know our general and her guards are defeated. But the enemy is trapped and we still have our numbers. So if her highness was here right now. She will still say our mission is to stop Lady Zero right here right now before the Eleven cause any further damage. For the sake of Britannia and the sake of our safety of Emperor and Empire. We'll attack. Are we clear?", he announced.
"For Britannia!", Most of the Britannia soldiers screamed.
The wall of Knightmare, tanks, and soldiers make their way into the few remaining bridges and path into the Ghetto. They move rapidly but not fast enough to senselessly run into a trap or leave openings.
A few units stay behind just in case their reinforcements or a few slip out.
Jeremiah quickly dial his princess number hoping she picks up," Princess?"
"Yes, Knight of Orange."
"Oh! Thank goodness. You escape with CC?"
"Yes and safety at the FOB. I capture Cornelia and Operation Sunken Neptune and Rising Sun a success. When the radio starts going off like crazy. Immediately head to the Government Bureau. I believe Euphemia going to have a close call with the Yamato Alliance."
"Understood."
"I do believe the leader of the disgrace Pureblood would raise in status if he fought valiantly against the enemy of the Empire?"
The leader in question gives off a small laugh,"Anything for her highness."
"For the last time Jeremiah. I abandoned that honorification", Luluko hanged up.
The pureblood leader knew that when outpost and checkpoint fall under attack. It going to be the moment he will become the white Knight of Britannia. A knight who serves his Black Empress. She explains to him about her future and to say it was too much to take in was an understatement. At the moment, Suzaku and Schniezer are at the top of his kill list. He was forbidden to do the former and keep the latter alive to his disappointment. He even wishes to slit the throat of the traitorous Black Knights in their sleep for abandoning her majesty in a time of need. The knight of orange does not sit idly by when disloyal heathens are breathing.
But orders are orders.
Luluko PoV
Mansion
"I think enough time has passed", I contacted my Ace, "Kallen?"
"Ya, it's me", She spoke, sounding slightly winded.
"How you like the new uniform?"
"I love it. Oghi think it a bit hip", she explained,"And Tamaki thrill with the miniskirts."
"What is he wearing it?"
Kallen tries to suppress a laughter," N-no, some girl decide to wear it anyway."
"That great now gather everyone around. I only have 25 minutes to explain everything personally so take notes…"
Normal PoV
30 Minutes later, The Warehouse is completely emptied and all the Ice Queen knights are formed into groups.
The total number of Knights are the warehouse stand at 300 once Kallen accidentally got the surrounding civilian population to join in. But in reality, Luluko was able to take control of all the cells with the work she has done since Shinjuku and after. The real number reach near 850. It a good start when you consider the now dead Blood of the Samurai has 2500 soldiers and the JFL double that.
The majority of them are separated into small strike teams of 5-25. With the smallest group attacking/hunting for isolated checkpoint and soldiers. There duty is to distract while the larger force proceeds with the last two operations.
The first operation is jailbreaking 'Enemies of the Empire'. From the Mansion, Luluko will lead a force of 12 Sutherlands and 40 troops against the most heavily fortify prison in Japan. There an estimate of 2000 potential recruits for the Order if freed.
Then the next operation is the largest because most of the forces are going to do something which will bring down the entire might of the Holy Britannia Empire in Japan. The surprise attack of the Government Bureau and 'attempted capture' of Euphemia li Britannia. The original plan was to cause as much damage before Cornelia push them back with her royal guards.
Luluko knows the Britannian will win the war of attribute no matter how well she leads the Black Knights. It's mostly going to be due to overwhelming numbers, training, and air superiority. Her knights may be just as well armed and their morale is higher than Nina grades, sadly, they're still untrained terrorists.
The Black Princess initially planned to send a message by demoralizing the enemies with massive attacks she orchestrates against all military and a few government targets. The people of Japan must know the mighty Empire can be beaten and the Britannian must learn the cost of its imperialism. Now with Cornelia out of the picture, the higher up, who happened to be part of Clovis administration will falter. Luluko loves Euphemia dearly, but she wouldn't be able to counter her.
Lulu felt sorry for traumatizing Euphie, but there a saying. If you control how someone thinks, you can control how they act.
The Ashford Ice Queen study Cornelia to the point of being able to predict her. Now that no longer needed, Luluko can have what she described as 'fun'; crushing weak-minded foes with ease.
Why is she pulling something so dangerous early on? The civilian casualties are going to be horrendous. She did think of it and know the consequence it entitles. So she makes sure to order all her Knights not to commit atrocities and have a few geass as sleeper agents to make sure of it. Purposeful collateral damage will be met with punishment. She even moves everyone she cares about far from the fighting with the help of local law enforcements. The last thing she needs is to expose Rivalz to gunfire or get Shirley killed.
Back at Saitama
The search was tense but uneventful. The sign of battle was all around them, but no hostility was to be found. The acting commander was being real careful about how he proceed. He looks into the tactics employed by Lady Zero and the last thing he wants is to rush in and has the ground collapse under him. The line still holding as they reach the center and the squadrons blocking the sewer and subway exit reported no escape. Even if one of the squadrons, who were fighting their own brethren the entire time left one member to keep up the act.
Then the good and bad news hit him.
The major military shipyard was bombed and suddenly the whole area of Tokyo is aflame.
The good news is that all the hostiles are dead and they found two survivors. Guilford suffers 3rd-degree burns on 40% of his body and Dalton was mostly unscathed. He explained that he took out 2 with his crippled knightmare assault rifle, torn one in half, and at this point, his KMF can barely function but still use the top half of the one he torn in half and beat the last one to till it explode. The commander wants to discard it as an old man wild tale but the scene said otherwise.
Then more bad news piled on. Every single military installation in Tokyo is under attack, except for Fort Darwin. So there still hope for reinforcement as a massive amount of man and supplies are leaving to push the rebel back. Then the other military installation is shown be sending help once words get out. If only he knew. He didn't even have time to wonder who Lady Miracle pulled off her disappearing act.
"Everyone! We need to fall ba-", and like that all military communication was cut off. The entire Britannian military is now in the dark, no advance communication other than the older model or civilian system(phone/internet) wouldn't work.

"Technology is amazing", The scene in front of me was wonderful as the traffic and G-1 camera captured soldier yelling into their Bluetooth, walkie-talkie, speakers, and etc,"Arrogance's breed sloppiness. If they upgrade their firewall, they wouldn't be shooting in the dark, unlike my Knights."

Various Location in the City
At a highway junction, a convoy of secret service agents, only armed with pistol and shotguns are falling like flies. The 17 agents used their SUV to form a line of defense. The highway was mostly clear of cars once the BK pulled up with military jeeps. The gunfight was fierce as a few civilians who was too slow to clear the road were shot down by the recently recruited knights.
"Hey! The boss lady said only the targets!",one of the Black Knight, a sleepy agent who was there to ensure the hit squad doesn't do anything immoral voiced.
"What the f**kin ever!",the man next to him screamed as he realigns his shot at an agent; instead of a mother fleeing with her son.
The agents were tasked with escorting a renowned member of Britannian higher society, Baron Johann von Ediberg , a multi-billion dollar entrepreneur, a single father, and refrain dealer.
It obvious a hit must be done. So a team of 12 Knights armed with military gear is sent to assassinate the bastard. A bastard who hiding away in the limo with his young daughter, who know nothing of her loving father 'secret life'.
"Hold these Elevens back!",an elderly agent yelled as he got a lucky shot on one of them. Which happen to be the geass terrorist. A terrorist that the main function is to ensure only the objection is complete and nothing else.
"C**t! They killed Yoshi! Where the hell is the Sutherland!"
"Right here!",A women yell as a dark figure move down the highway.
The secret service agents may be better trained and outnumber them by 5 men, but they are at a disadvantage on every other front. Several knights have the high ground and fire below, while the others are attacking from all angles. Despite the disadvantages, the Agents were able to take out two of them before like an angel of death, a Black Sutherland barrel down the highway. It was a Sutherland stolen a week prior and ironically, the person who capture it, painted the frame black.
The agents know nothing sort of a 50 cal. to vital joints or a rocket could take it down. But yet they fire even as it drew near till it reach the SUVs. The imposing frame stood before them and all hell broke loose.
Explosion rock the highway as rounds from the KMF instantly destroy the SUVs and agents. It has been 15 seconds when they're no longer any resistances. As shredded metal and bodies littered the roads.
"How does it feel being on the other end!",the female pilot spotted people fleeing in the distances and turn her weapon on them,"Die pigs die! Haha! I'm going to kill all of you with equality! Freedom to your tainted soul!"
This sort of behavior would stop if the person Luluko geass was still alive. He/she would report it if halting it failed. Since Luluko who's too busy coordinating everything else in the city to deal with them.
"Enough Toki! We got a dealer to kill!"
Inside the limo, a young teen girl was holding on to her father in fear. She was scared she was going to lost the only family she has left to those Elevens. Then they said something about her father being a refrain dealer
'There no way that possible! Father a caring man to the Britannian community! He helps underprivileged Britannian families!'
"Open the door!",the man with the visor yelled. They all approach the limo with gun trained,"If you don't leave we shot!"
"Hide and stay quiet", he commanded and she obliged. She scurries to the furthest corner of the backseat and her father left the limo, making sure to use his body to block the view inside and close the door behind him.
"Please let me live", the man in question was wearing all white and held his arms up defensively.
"Oh, forgiveness? Maybe they're a room for that", a knight mocked,"It going to be in hell! Make him dance!"
The girl wrapped her arms around her head and curled up as the tinted windows and durable frame of her ride kept the bullets away. It was nerve wracking as rounds after rounds make small cracks on the windows into larger spider web-like design.
Outside, the terrorists kept their word and the man body jerk and spasm in a morbid dance to 10 guns firing simultaneously at his body. Blood and body matter went everywhere before the magazines and clips ran dry. It seems like an eternity to the unfortunate occupant inside, even if it was seconded. What was left was unrecognizable.
"Look like we...took out the trash", a loud young Knight laughed. He was rewarded with a collective growl,"Screw you uncultured hitches."
"C'mon hurry! Let get out of here!",the Sutherland pilot yelled as she sped away.
"Just a second", the knight who give the order to fire. He opens the bullet and blood ridden door to see the shock tear stained cheeks of the innocent girl.
"Hey, I found someone! Do I shot her or leave!"
"Is she cute?",a knight with short black hair was using a crowbar to escape into the sewer with his comrade.
"She freakin hot", the leader of the squad yell back with the teen fearing for her life," Lady Zero wouldn't want collateral and we can't just leave a defenseless girl alone...but is she here?"
"Naw, drag her to the secret spot down under Goro"
"No!",she screams before she was hastily grabbed and dragged away.
Elsewhere, at the Camelot Engineering Corp.
"She not picking up...I knew it", Suzaku looks at his phone as he was sent to voicemail for the 40th or was it the 50th time.
"Suzaku! Suit up! We have valuable battle data to collect!",Lloyd practically push the prime minister son into the mobile transport,"Hurry up! Hip hip hooray!"
Despite not getting orders from the higher up, the flamboyant scientist decides to push on. In his defense, the military communication is down and the next best thing is either using cell phones or old army walkie talkies.
Sending an unauthorized 6th generation frame piloted by an Eleven is a big military violation. As long as the Engineering Corp actual turn the tide against the terrorists, it will be a win-win situation to escape harsh punishments.
Suzaku rush to put on his pilot outfit and practically leap into the cockpit.
'Luluko, is this what you really want. Is this the type of change?', Suzaku felt as if the whole city in an uproar. Even If its reality, only certain areas are affected. Residentials, businesses, and especially schools like Ashford are unaffected. The princess makes sure the chaos is controlled, but chaotic enough to keep the Lancelot and the military off balance as they rush to the wrong target(s). It really a simultaneous raid, assassination, terrorist attack within a 1-hour time frame.
Suzaku phone ring and the caller was none other than the earl of pudding.
"Okay Suzaku, We can only communicate by phone so your primary objective is to hunt terrorists", The Earl seem a bit too enthusiastic. He spoke as if there a 2 for 1 on pudding instead of the largest domestic uprising until the real battle to unify Japan,"Go collect me some data!"
"Right!"
"Lancelot ready for launch", one of the engineers reported.
"Good luck Suzaku", Cecile nodded.
"Lancelot Launch!",the Japanese teen yelled as he left the mobile transport and searching for Luluko. Hoping to end the bloodshed.
'I will stop this insanity! I will stop you!'
Meanwhile, at the mansion.
"The doctor and his assistants just arrive ma'am", a butler reported.
"Bring them to the garage but try not to show them the cockpit just yet", Luluko commanded hoping she wouldn't need to send Cornelia to the hospital if the injuries are too severe. It would have been smarter to leave Cornelia behind or far enough from the blast. Even if Lulu wouldn't admit it, she panics. It partly due to a part of her rationalizing the propaganda she gains from Cornelia capture or death.
She requested the most high-end house call medical team money can get at the last moment while the whole city was on fire.
"Great, now I have to walk down 3 stories to geass some people and back up. Hey slave guarding the doorway!",Luluko refer to a physically fit security guard at the entrance,"Carry me downstairs!"
"Yes ma'am", he replied.
"Do you always geass people to carry you?",CC asked,"And you complain I was lazy."
"This is different", As she hops onto the man back.
A moment later, a group of 6 people in either a doctor coat or scrubs reach the doorway to the underground garage where the Sutherland is parked.
"The patient's inside?",the doctor asked the nobleman.
Then a loud bang behind them got the medical team attention. Once all eyes were on a teenage girl riding piggyback on a slightly winded geasses guard.
"Who are-", the doctor was cut off as the bird-like symbol flash in her violet eye.
"Lelouch vi Britannia commands you…",She realizes the wrong word chose too late and carries on with the command.
The White Knight didn't know where to begin. Head towards conflict is the best solution. But the conflict mostly ends before he or anyone else can get there. Once he arrives at a location, he finds innocent civilian, Japanese and Britannian alike, died. If he being honest, he wants to believe Luluko civilian casualty is unintentional. They were all caught in the crossfire. Hell, she told him her plan!
Flashback to the day before
Suzaku Pov
I finally got her alone. There's no Nunnally, Sayoko, and Cici in sight. Neither the student council or anyone around her. I should have seen it coming the moment she sworn to destroy Britannia. Yet, I refuse to believe it. I thought she under command from the real Zero at first until she how me the outfit.
It was the afternoon and Luluko was sitting at her seat in the vacant classroom. She was casually reading Romeo and Juliet for class. I admit, she truly blossoms into a lovely young woman. I almost feel like I don't deserve her.
"You know Suzaku. When I was little I try to envision our nation relation as a tale between two star-crossed lovers, till I realize the comparison wouldn't make sense because Romeo fought for the Capulet and the Capulet are overwhelmingly powerful and arrogant", She put the book down,"I was waiting for you."
I sat in the chair next to her.
"It hard getting you alone."
"All you have to do is man up and ask per~suasively", she cooed.
I'm starting to get used to her antic. Since I know, according to Cici, if I try to make a sexual advance, she will backtrack. She acts as if Sayoko keeping watch from afar.
"What could convince you to give up?"
"Give up?",she looks at me like I grew an extra arm. She smirked and shook her head.
"I don't want you to die. I don't want you to return home in a body bag", I then ask her,"Do you ever ask yourself what you're going to do after all the bloodshed? If you make it out the other end."
Her smirk turns into a frown when it dawn on her,"I actually don't know what to do if I succeed."
"I thought you would have a plan for everything?"
"That just it. I planned for others but not myself", she recollects.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Where do I begin? I'm playing matchmaker with Sayoko and Milly. Then I lay out what a peaceful, kinder world would be like for Nunnally and everyone else."
"..."
"Suzaku", She paused,"Remember when I vow to destroy Britannia?"
"Do you still believe in that?",I already knew the answer. The fire in Luluko heart wouldn't be extinguished. She too stubborn to let go of her unwavering hatred.
"I give up on it."
"You what?!", I didn't expect that,"Clarify."
"I took the time to reflect on my desire and realize...details."
"What details?"
" It nothing for you to worry about yet. All you need to know is that I don't hold my mother in high regard as I use to and either of our methods would amount to nothing if my father or Shineizer visual for a peaceful world is brought to reality",She doesn't appear to be lying, Lulu has either been honest or withholding information the majority of my time at school. What are you playing at Luluko?
"Luluko, You really put both of us on a tight lease. If I report you in, not only will it reveal you but ruin my path to peace."
"We wouldn't get any benefit from turning on each other would we Suzaku?"*
I can't help but feel frightened by how smart she is.
"True, but my offer still stand. I vow to not punish myself for killing my father and bring peace from within."
"And I still want you to help me. But you can't clean society without throwing trash away", That one way to justify murder,"And can you do me a favor?"
"What kind of favor?",I grew suspicious.
"A big favor", she smiled and a chill ran up my spine. If she asks me to aid her in any way with her rebellion, I'm going to say…
"No."
"I didn't even tell you yet."
"What?"
"I'm going to free thousands of unjustly incarcerated Japanese who express free speech. Will you head to the maximum security prison and stop me?",she pleaded.
"My answer the same, I know you're going to lay a trap for me like you did in Shinjuku. It was by chance that my boss ordered me back."
"I swear it not a trap", It hard for me to tell she's lying.
"I don't trust you."
"It's not", Now I can tell she lying. There no way she would ask me. She even said I was her greatest threat to her peace. Why ask an enemy to stop your own plan?!
"So be it. I know it a trap and I'm not falling for it."
"Smart move. I just want to know, your path of peace isn't wrong. It isn't right either. Same for my revolution."
I really want to correct her about it being terrorism, not a revolution.
"You sacrifice pride in oneself to climb the ladder and I'm too prideful to not let the world move the way I want it to."
"I'm starting to understand your motive. Maybe the real deciding factor is how Nunnally view it?"
"I think she tells both of us to knock it off. Especially if we tell her everything and not the abridged 'I work in engineering' or 'I have after school activities'."
"It a mysterious how different we are."
"Opposite attracts Sazu-kun."
"That physics. Relationships never work like that", I corrected her.
"Yin and Yang?"
"Good vs Evil?"
"That's not what yin and yang mean ", she pointed out," My humanity teacher state that the overarching theme of Yin and Yang are forces that oppose and complement one another. Both sides contain a bit of the other and neither is completely black or white. Neither side can operate without the other or else their chaos. And that the last thing society needs. That is why we attract each other."***
I want to think that sound ridiculous. But it true that we are vastly different in most of our interest. I want to explore the forest, she wants to read at the library. I want to go swimming, she wants to relax on the sand. I want to eat a healthy diet, Luluko has a sweet tooth. I want to work from the inside, she wants to cause harm from the outside. I sacrificed my pride and she kept hers.
Despite the different, we are both stubborn. Both of us care deeply for Nunnally and want nothing more but to have her open her eyes one day. We want society to change for the better. I want to understand why she chooses the mean to achieve it.
I'm starting to believe she is right that as a soldier I would kill to expand my goal. She may even be right about me being killed off by the higher up before I gain traction to my ideals.
But it the same for her. She could die being a leader of a terrorist organization and collateral damage is inevitable. How dare she said my ideology is wrong when she ignores her own fault. Always putting other at risk and still acting like it all just a game.
"I really want to find a way to convince you. I don't want you to die. Please quit and leave the mask behind."
"If you quit the military, that redemption of yours, and your dream first."
I took some time to think and notices,"If we both abandon our dream together. Then both of us wouldn't need to be in the line of fire. I don't want my girlfriend to die."
That was actually the first time I said the g-word. She occasionally throws around 'Suza-kun', hold hands, and a few kisses on campus. But I was passive about the abrupt relationship she more or less forces on me. I don't mind it, Luluko is a very beautiful young women any man would want. I did have feelings for her when we were little.
A spark lit up in Luluko violet eyes before she wears a visage of someone who went through great pain," I-I wish it was that simple…In a different world and different timeline perhaps. If I'm aware of the pain I went through. I could have taken that opportunity. The option to leave everything behind and live a normal life with you and Nunnally. I just don't want to turn my back on my Witch and my Red Ace. Not again."
I saw one of her clench the fabric of her uniform, right where her heart should be. She turns pale and acted as if something just pierces it. She was reliving painful memories from the past, but the way she speaks is as if it yet to happen.
"If it too much for you I think I'll-", I got out of my seat before I felt a hand wrap around my wrist. She was holding onto it very tightly.
"Suzaku, I want to tell you this but I fear you would betray me or even laugh at it", she quivered,"I couldn't believe it myself. I never consider a normal life before or after."
"Lulu. I consider you someone close to my heart. If something happens to you, how will the council feel and how will Nunnally cope with it? If we meet each other on the battlefield and their no choice but to kill each other, would we really do it? If it takes me departing from the military then I will do it. What do you say?"
"I want it to be that simply. But it selfish of me to not make the world kinder. A peaceful world where all are treated equally. That why even when we are in opposing side, we are still working together."
"That's not possible and you know it."
"Is it?",She straightens herself,"Back to Yin and Yang. To find the balance in progress and destruction, one side needs to work on the interior and the other from the exterior. There needs to be a reason for Britannia to change and when a rebellion actually makes headway. Talk of peace and change will be enacted in order to survive. If there no reason for Britannia to change, then it would be like sculpting the Statue of David with a toothpick."
"You're saying even if I said no. I'm still working with you by working against you?"
"Precisely."
"That insane."
" You're still welcome to join me and funnel military secrets."
"I can't take you up on that offer. Now what was that you were going to say that would make me betray you?",I asked.
She stiffens up and said,"When it the right time for me to tell you I'll explain everything. But I have work to do."
"Another terrorist attack?"
"No, CC want me to go to the mall. The Cheese-kun convention is in town and I need to make sure my debit card isn't drained. Those aren't scheduled until tomorrow", She acts as if she planning another event for the school instead of you know...domestic terrorism. It bugs me...A lot. I know it my duty as an Honorary Britannian to report her but I can't. I don't even fully believe she going to a cheese-kun convention.
"If its take giving you a reason to quit then I will find i t", I lean in and quickly give her a peck on the lips. She blushed and look away.
"A-hem", we both look to the source of the voice and holy cheese-kun. Cici was dress like a gothic loli ta,twin ponytails, and a tiny hat,"Will you two knock it off. There a golden cheese-kun trophy that needs snatching. Hurry and get dress princess."
She walks away,"I'll tell you when its time. I promise. I love you Suzaku."
"I love you too", I responded. I wasn't sure if I can bring myself to say it. It wasn't because I don't like her...I just hate what she's doing.
...Wait? Did she say again?
Normal PoV
"Where was I ?", the princess got back in her command hub and look at the status of her troop's movement. She has enough manpower and the resource to back it. Then another problem arises, the quality of the troops and logistic. No plan survives first contact with the enemy, but it doesn't mean the soldiers and commander would falter. Far from it actually.
If a commander can issue orders to adapt to the change on the battlefield in real time, he/she will gain the high ground.
Luluko was originally trumped with how to make sure every raid, assassination, and rescue go according to plan. That when she devise a scheme to hijack the security system in the city to track troop movement and use a system involving a combination of GPS and KMF IFF signal to make sure everyone doesn't head down the wrong path or walk into Britannian forces. It mostly works unless a few branch off to do less than decent things if her moderators don't report in. An oversight she going to pay for in the aftermath.
Luluko only has her laptop showing the entire area of Tokyo with square blue dots representing KMFs and smaller blue ones for the knights with a device containing a GPS tag. Then they're the footage from government and military camera across the entire city. Then she has a dozen disposable cell phones with labels corresponding to 2-3 smaller strike teams. Her personal work phone is used to stay in contact with Jeremiah, Diethard, Kallen group, and the Yamato alliances.
Operation 1 and 2 is a success. Now all that left is Operation Free bird and Operation Government Shutdown.
On her personal phone, the caller ID, Orange Knight appears.
"M'lady, The army are leaving Saitama and en route to the city. What the next plan?"
"Once report of camp Darwin is under attack by 'the bulk of the Black Knights'. I want you to head to the Government Bureau and proceed as planned."
"Yes, M'lady."
Luluko sends a message to the military base remaining operators to cut power off to the base, leaving a cryptic alert stating the bulk of enemy forces are converging there. It showed draw most of the army at Saitama to rush over to that location.
Then she needs to deal with the heavy but limited defense of both the Government Building and Prison.
Operation Free Bird
Within the detention center, 2,500 convicts. The design of the prison is set up where the jail cells are aligned in a circular pattern around a center, which has the prison staffs keep an eye on the terrorists. Terrorists who are soon to be transfer, execute, or reeducated. The condition is brutal, with the guards having nearly unrestricted liberty to do what they want. It a common practice for guards to report an inmate dead due to 'gang war' behind bars. Another common practice is flooding the cells with sleeping gas and doping food to keep the prisoners under control. The gas wouldn't affect the guards because just enough are released to subdue the prisoners, all the cells can be air sealed, and if air does leak out. The vast interior and filtration system would dilute and remove the stray gas. It helps that most of the cells are windowless and other than the walls being solid concrete, the front is plexiglass.
"Keep everything lockdown! No one leaves or enter!", the jail warden yelled through the speaker.
"Britannia will burn!",a prisoner yells in anger.
"Lady Zero coming for us! And she's coming for you!",Another screamed at the top of his lungs.
"Don't make me flood your cell with gas you damn animals. She not moving unconscious stain like you!",the warden, a callous aged man exclaimed.
He made sure that all his workers are keeping an eye out for any would-be terrorists so he can immediately press the big lime green button in his office, the central structure. The guards and staffs were frightened as the voice of inmates rise into a symphony as his hands just hover over the button to shut them all up.
The hand never reach when a deafening blast and blinding flash cause him to reel back in pain before a sharp stinging sensation and warm liquid flow down his neck. The 6 staffs were killed before they knew what happen. Two figures step into the room with their kunai's. They were dress in kunoichi garb with a modern design like the bulletproof vest, arm and knee pads, grappling hooks, a suppressed handgun, and smoke bomb/flashbangs. Their hair are tied up behind a hood and their lower face is covered.
Sayoko Shinozaki looks into the room. She saw the cameras and the console in the command center. The maid nodded to her accomplice knowing what they must do next. The ninja maid will find the release all prisoner button and the fellow Shinozaki will head to communication and give orders. The timing must be right and it all relaid on Sayoko sister voice modifier to make sure the security focus on the main force.
Finally getting into position with 10 seconds to spare, they count down. Below the prison, rows of C4 are planted by Kallen group for the escape route. Outside, a heavily armed platoon of Black Knights with a dozen Sutherland's waited in a construction site. Setting up the Satten Waffen to take out the front gate and watchtowers.
Luluko held her breath knowing that even if Suzaku arrive, her plan was already set in motion. If he actually believes her this time. She estimated that as long as he doesn't arrive immediately, lost 40 or so men couple with the potential thousands of new recruit are still good odds. He should be heading to Camp Darwin with the rest of the army and possible reinforcement from outside the city.
In Lelouch timeline, Cornelia only brought 5 of her Royal Guard into the ghetto, not all 9. It most likely due to Lulu intervention throughout Japan and recording of her above average skills in a KMF. It makes the 2nd Princess think, Zero may actually be a challenge. A terrorist who vaguely copy, not perfectly, the piloting style of the late Marianne is someone that interest her.
Leaning back in her chair she was told the half of the Saitama Brigade are heading to the military base and the rest are reinforcing the Government Bureau or keeping order in the cities. The command on Britannia side is most likely using other means of communication to move their troops. Possibility old radios or more civilian approach with cell phones. The latter is unlikely. But she is certain Suzaku is out there causing havoc to her forces. She has been checking up on her smaller hit squad and learned 5 of the failures are due to Suzaku intervention. But it really him wandering around until he finds something and when the eccentric pudding earl orders him to go somewhere.
That means the jail operation can commence.
"Alpha platoon. Make them bleed", she orders and with a confirmation. The explosion filled the skies of the setting sun. Watchtowers exploded and front gate knocked open.
"Kallen, in 15 seconds. Stay clean of the C4, guide the VIPs, and wait for further instructions", Luluko called from her personal work phone.
"Yes, Zero", She responded back,"Move back. We'll blow the floor!"
"I want to fight!",Tamaki complaints can be heard from Luluko phone.
She closes the phone knowing that part of the plan is done and closed.
All she need is to take direct command of the Alpha Platoon as they wreak havoc on the KMFs and guards stations there. Switching to an operating camera on the prison courtyard, she noted her forces are outnumbered.
On her side, she has 12 Sutherland's; 5 standards(rifle), 2 snipers, and 5 heavier(Satten Waffen and heavy armaments). Combine with 40 lightly-trained, well armed, and highly motivated infantry.
Against, 15 standard Sutherland's, 12 Knightmare police units, and approximately hundreds of armed prison guards. The police knightmares ain't met for one on one battle but they can still damage her forces. Then the enemy Sutherland's pose another problem. So, therefore, she needs to ambush the guards with the Shinjuku terrorists after enough.
In the control room, the fellow Shinozaki grabs her throat, right where the voice modifier is located.
"Sayo-chan, Sayo-chan, Sayo-chan", Her voice got increasingly deeper.
"Kasumi!",the Konnichi yell at her older sister,"Cameras!"****
"Shhh! I put all of them on a loop", She took a deep breath and spoke in the same voice the now died warden,"All personnel! Terrorists are at the main gate! Lockdown level 5! All inmates are sedated and secured! Report to the armory and push those monkey's back!"
"Nice job", Sayoko push the release all button and every cell open simultaneously to the stunned look of the prisoners.
Kasumi, Sayoko older sister, then switch to her normal voice and set the speakers to only the cells,"Listen here boys. The ground-"
The floor of the prison imploded. The 4 ft thick concrete seemingly crumbled to reveal a small but sizable squad of 8 black Sutherland's, 1 red custom Sutherland, and 24 Black Knights of the Shinjuku branch.
The red Sutherland pilot spoke through the onboard speakers."Everyone! Freedom awaits! If you want to thank anyone! Thank the mastermind behind it, Lady Zero! Tell everyone who's responsible!"
"Don't you just stand there! Move!",Tamaki in his Sutherland yelled,"Follow the white arrows to safety!"
The thousands of terrorists started to run down. A few were getting trampled in the rush to leave the confined.
"Calm and orderly fashion everyone!",Kasumi spoke before knowing their work here is done.
"Now for the high valued VIPs?",Sayoko searches the room and grabs an assault rifle and a few magazines. Alongside Kasumi with a riot shotgun and a dozen shells, in case they need to be loud or run out of their standard equipment.
"This is the most fun I have since the Christmas Massacre!",the older sister chuckled.
"Christmas Massacre?"
"I haven't seen so much red. But it Christmas and red on white is always beautiful", she reminisces,"Don't worry all Japanese patriots made it out alive."
"Please go back into retirement", they opted for the direct route via hallways.
"For you, I will", She checked the corner and give the all clear,"I do have a son back at at our hometown to raise into a perfect Shinozaki Shinobi."
"Let hope we make it back home on time."
"Like old time, imouto(younger sister)."
Then 4 guards rounded the corner only to be instantly cut off with well-placed kunai throws.
"That red kunai mines. 3 to 1. Adding to today score. Kasumi-sensei: 6, Sayo-chan:3."
Sayoko can't help but roll her eyes,'And she's the older sister!'
Granted, the ex-assassin tend to love her 'career'.
Meanwhile, at the front gate.
"What the Sit-Rep?"(Situation Report)
"WE ARE PINNED!"
"Just as planned", She smirked.
"WHAT?!"
"Just stay where you are for now. Help is about to fire on the Brits backs."
"Yes, Ma'am!"
Sayoko PoV
"We need to reinforce the front gates!",A heavily armored man towing an M-60 with 5 others carrying assault rifles. It expected that a military prison would have military weapons. It was met for this exact event. I can hear them run pass me, I hid in a narrow slit between two vending machines. I was ready to slit their throat if they catch me.
"How about the prisoners?"
"Warden said he has it under control. Let move already", I breath a sigh of relief. My sister and I split up when we can across a fork in the hallway and two of our targets were on each end. I'm confident she's fine. Kasumi is a far better kunoichi then I am.
I slide out and hurry down the hallway to the captured JFL.
"Oh god! Oh god!", I heard the sound of men? Very feminine sounding men screaming in fear and angry from the hallway Katsumi heading down. Its parallel from the one I'm in as I hear the clashing of her sword cutting flesh and bones. Frantic gunfire to attempt to put her down.
I want to turn to help her, at least check if she's okay.
"Eat it pig!"
"No no! Don't put it-aaarrrrgggghhh!"
"Monster! Call rein-blurkk."
She's fine.
I run further down as blood curling scream and gunfire kept happening behind me. Really Katsumi? Ninja is supposed to be stealthy. I'm certain the entire prison knows we'll here...at least her.
I finally reach the cell. It was surprisingly a politician. He was a high ranking Honorary Britannian who was arrested for climbing too high up the ladder, trying to make the system better for the Japanese. Sound familiar? I guess those were less than agreeable terms. It's apparent that his personal cell isn't linked to the same system. Which mean I need to manually open it. He was surprised to see me and surprise when with a few type on the console next to his cell, I set him free.
"Zero send her regard, the way out is down the hall and into the main cells."
"Thank you", he hurried out.
"4 more to go", I spoke to myself.
Katsumi PoV
From where I was, I can see my fellow Japanese freedom fighter giving those Brit's hell.
I was just minding my business as I shove my katana into someone's eye socket, vicious stabbing another in the intestine, and break a grounded fifth windpipe with my feet.
I took a quick look out a window to see my fellow Japanese pinned by our enemies. I want to help but according to my imouto, her master got a trick up her sleeves. She better hurry.
I saw more pigs heading my way and thought whether or not to use guns for once.
I kept them at bay with my shurikens and kunai's. The bastards that didn't take my homemade kitchen knives seriously are heading to the afterlife or in the process of it.
It takes brains and hands to fire a gun and pin someone. But it takes a true warrior to pin hostiles armed with modern weapons and armor with repurposing farm tools. They kept hidden behind a doorway we're sticking their head out Is rewarded with a laceration to the face or temple.
I couldn't keep it up forever so I rush forward, jump into the doorway where they hid, and taking them to surprise. I started beating them.
There were five of them and insuch close proximity, firing at me may hit one of them; like it would do any good.I kick the legs from right under one, party the barrel of a few shotgun away, gut check the guy at the doorway, feint a knife, cut an artery, snap someone's knee than their neck, and etcs.
I feel so weak in the knees right now with all this bloodshed. Feel so amazing...Where was I?
Oh right. There all died. I swear there were 6, not 20. I probably got too absorbed in the fun to notices.
"REPORT IN! REPORT! WHAT THE SITREP!",A dead man shoulder walkie-talkie wants off. I walk over and picked it up.
"Nihon e yōkoso(Welcome to Japan )", I spoke like I'm welcoming family before switching tone,"Now get the hell out of my country."
"You damn dirty Eleven! We're going to kill you!"
"You know where I am. Send everyone you want, send a knightmare, and send your sorry soul home or in a box when I'm done with all of you", I asked with cheer,"Show a lady a good time.
I drop the walkie talkie knowing what may happen next. I run down the hallway and took cover as some of the Knightmare and guards who were pinning my fellow Japanese turn their attention to me; at least the area I was in.
None of the bullets got close as KMF rounds and small arms kept hitting wall, windows, and the dead bodies of my victims. I just can't help but be worried for what Sayoko was thinking, not knowing my purpose was not to rescue the VIP. She's handling it, while I do what I do best.
Kill, steal and thrive.
Kallen PoV
"We are starting in 3", Luluko countdown.
I got my Sutherland into a crouching position, ready to take out the Britannia on the other side.
"2."
"Finally!",Tamaki cheered.
"1."
The C4 exploded and we all rushed out, shooting and running over anything that doesn't look Japanese.
"Nippon Banzai!", We shouted and I spotted the white color of Knightmare polices acting as a shield for the Sutherlands. They were all facing away from us and didn't have a chance to respond when they were fired on from the back. Once they realize what going on, Alpha platoon got out of cover and rush at the remaining frames just as most of them turn to fire on us. The battle was over in less than a minute as the main concentration of Knightmares is wiped out. All is left now is to search the compound for stranglers and disappear.
The majority of the prisoners are evacuated with Sayoko handling rescue. I sure she can handle herself, she frightening and I would never want to cross her.
"Everyone! Fall back!",Luluko yelled,"Incoming White Knight! White Knight flee!"
Earlier
Mansion
Luluko PoV
"Luluko, I know you're there and it obvious you're behind this", I finally took the time to listen to one of his voice mail,"You're putting everyone at risk. Nunnally frightened, everyone is scared. Please Luluko, Remember the conversation yesterday. I beg you to come home and stop this. If not then one of us will do the unspeakable and we will regret it for all our life. Just pick up the phone, We need to talk."
I felt as if I turn into ice, knowing the future and what it entitle.
"What the…",I look at my laptop to check around the city for Suzaku location and he was heading to one destination. Almost a straight line down nearly vacant streets ever since the law enforcement enacted martial law. Well, I geass a few to enact it to prevent unnecessary damage to civilian lives and infrastructure.
"He actually going for it?"
"You did tell him to go over their", CC pointed out.
"Reverse psychology!",I immediately picked up my personal phone to call Kallen,"Everyone fall back! Incoming White Knight! White Knight flee!"
"What we outnumber-", the leader of Alpha platoon argued.
"Hell no dumbass!",Kallen spread away into the newly created hole with the rest of the Shinjuku cell,"We'll not fighting that!"
"Cowards! It one unit."
By the time he utter those words, The Shinjuku terrorist cell were long gone.
"He obviously coming toward the front! Set up ambush point!",he commanded.
"Last chance leave", Luluko order seriously.
"We got this", he cut communication.
With Luluko
"BAKA!",she yelled,"But who cares. The mission complete and soldiers who can't follow orders need to be purged."
" Next order of business?"
"Launch Crown Fall."
JFL hideout in Tokyo
In an underground basement, 7 men in civilian outfit converse on what going on outside. The place they're in is a small meeting room with cracked concrete walls, a table, and 8 chairs; 4 on each side. On the table were folders, binders, some food items, and a few cigarettes. Outside the room is a compound in the heart of the Funabashi Ghetto. A place large enough to store ample amount of military supplies and 3 dozen men and women ready to support Japan freedom.
Their mission was to recruit fellow Japanese to the JFL or link them to other groups and funnel arms to the resistances. They were the suppliers, recruiters, and even the instructors for Japanese seeking military training and Knightmare training. Hence the reason why many terrorists know how to pilot a KMF. They head to one of the many secret locations for training and arms. As well as acting as a communication outpost to connect all the terrorist/freedom fighting organization in Japan.
But lately, business in the arms department has been slow due to Lady Zero supplying stolen arms from their enemies. The reaction overall reaction of the JLF and Kyoto is welcoming and very impress by her quick rise to power. It was even planned to recruit her to the JLF if she prove herself even further. Her piloting skill isn't something to scoff at, and especially not her charisma, leadership, and intelligent. She seems like the perfect recruit. She took out not one but two royal family member! And bested the Goddess of War in both strategy and combat ability!
She does have admiration from many around Japan and she knows it. That is why, through an underground network, she release address to covertly send mail(love letters)...which happened to be the doorsteps of Kaname Oghi; to his irritation.
Rumour has it, The House of Kyoto have a pre-production Gekka and the Guren for her if she can achieve more of the impossible.
"Listen here troops", A burly Japanese man was having a meeting with his top officer,"We need to make our move while the city is in chaos."
"Have we received word from command?"
"No, we are on our own here. But I deduct that after today, the 'Black Knights' will cause Britannia to drop the hammer. Thus our Lake Kawaguchi operation going to meet some difficulty once security is ramp up."
"What are you suggesting sir?"
"These guns are collecting dust and I'm done playing accountant", he took out a folder from a briefcase next to his chair,"I know a school was the spoiled kids of Britannia nobles are attending."
He tosses it onto the table and it read in red ink, Ashford Academy.
A/N:Let me say, I'm one of those author that like writing his own stuff instead of following canon. It really why I'm comfortable writing Demon Child because I'm writing my own plot line.
I should continue with Code Reaction in the near future because I'm getting writer's block on the type of fic that simple to write. Maybe writing reaction aka, reworded plagiarism,(oxymoronic isn't it) is my kryptonite. No offense to any death battle authors.
* That actually a idea I got from Death Note if Spoilers kill Spoilers#2, he'll screw himself in the process.
**I may have drop the ball on that part. I was going to go with canon and have CC rescue Lulu. Then I decide another route. The mannequin and extra costume was kepted in Luluko KMF. It not that hard to dress, assemble a mannequin.
***I paraphrase what I learn in humanity class 101.
****Cameo appearances from Kasumi Shinozaki from my Demon Child fic. She a very mature, sociopathic women who love her family,especially Sayoko and her son, and killing Britannian. That the basic overview for her. Long story short, you can either hate her or hate her less. She really mess up since in reality, soldiers(depends) would feel exhilarated about killing someone and guilt after the matter. And that IF they fire on a enemy and have some level of certainty of the kill. Kasumi on the other hand. I can't say so since I never gone to war(my dad did), so don't correct me...here the link.

This fic is inspired by CrysisWar1234 so I may reference some things like the prison break. Like the name Alpha Platoon instead of Alpha Squadron.
Final uthor's note: After hearing about the season 3 announcement, I decided that once it release in who knows when. I will write my own R3 fic with Luluko on my ending for her if she was female in canon.
Hopefully it's good. Now my Demon Child fic is ruined...or is it?
God if I see a white Zero.
Kanon doing something evil.
That code-bearing skull from the OVA.
Schneizer removing his geass.
Maybe a few of my technology and Knight Frames from Demon Child.
Nina dies.
Oghi and Viletta naming their son Naoto(It's Ichiro; reference the CG creator in my DC fanfic) and/or daughter Chigusa.
MOTHERF**KIN SPACE BATTLE.
I'm calling it. I always knew he was alive. I outline why in Demon Child and I guess it going to be more or less similar to how Sunrise explains it.
Now LELOUCH VI BRITANNIA COMMAND YOU TO BE HYPED!
