(To all newcomers of the fic who barely reviewed, Just to clear a few things up Richardson is the leader for the West Enclave which is currently in Area 11, Eden is the leader for the East, not appearing in R1. You can say the West ones are a little mixed between evil and a little heroic. You'll have to figure out what the East are by yourself.)

"What the hell is going on at the stadium?!" Kallen begged,

"The Japanese are okay outside, but the stadium... there's been a massive shooting inside. We are currently seeing no survivors from this altitude... As far we know, everyone's dead. We're sorry..." A pilot in his vertibird scouting ahead to the SAZ sent his condolences out to all Black Knights, sure the pilot himself recently got news everyone in Area 11 was basically unmutated from the nuclear war, but he couldn't help the thousands of healthy Japanese, dead in a sudden turn for the worse. Below the vertibird was a tragic genocidal war zone, complete with Sutherlands killing the innocent Japanese while they sprinted in fear.

Many things and knowledge were exchanged between the Enclave and the Black Knights, with lack of whereabouts of the word in town, Zero gave the Enclave the essential communication equipment needed to become a fully working force against Britannia. Unfortunately no major even minor technologies were shared between each other.

This major news on the Special Administrative Zone sent by the scout caused members on a devastated state, many were shocked, some even expected this ever since the ceremony as Britannia could never be trusted. It's only a matter of time before other killings by Cornelia's dogs were about to start...

"Why are we standing here then?! Let's go get them before they start killing the entire area!" Tamaki yelled through the radio link as he couldn't stand to see anyone not doing a damn thing about the event. Tamaki needed to take a stand and be a leader himself if he had to if no one was gonna do their job.

"Funny, because I thought your leader said not to engage." Frank Horrigan asked outside of his vertibird.

"L-Let's not get to conclusions, th-there might have been an accident, anything! So far nothing is confirmed!" Ohgi suggested

"That Enclave member already told us! What more evidence do you need Ohgi?!" The underrated member tried his over aggressive voice to convince his friend Ohgi to snap out of the denial and realize Japanese are dying right now. They have no time for confirmed sources, they needed to strike back.

"Enough! While a witness confirmed the deaths of our... people, we still can't charge in unless Zero says so. We must resist vengeance until then." The amount of anger sprang onto Tohdoh like a virus that was difficult to ignore, the samurai gritted his teeth for the suggestion of awaiting Zero's commands. A consequence Tohdoh faced when following his code.

"I'm not letting other people die because of this crap, I'm going in!" Tamaki quickly charged in towards the stadium with his Burai, it would take a while to get there, but apparently the idiot member never thought of that before as he was too enraged to think it through.

"Tamaki stop!"

(-Fallout 3 OST: Battle 1-)

"That black knight is easily going to get himself killed, we'll try to cover him once he's entered the city block. But if he's too far out from our distance I'm afraid he's never going to make it in there." The Head Lt of the vertibird fleet near the Black Knight's set of knightmares commanded at least two of his pilots to go after Tamaki.

With some altitude apart from the BK knightmares, the two pilots immediately went more faster to catch up with Tamaki than they thought they would. Hopefully the vertibirds could get there on time...

"This is Zero, Euphemia has become our enemy! The Special Administrated Zone of Japan was a trap to lure the Japanese in! Round up all units and advance on the ceremony and place an outpost there! Leave no Britannians alive, save the Japanese, hurry!"

The confirmed source was known as Zero, the one member inside the stadium just an hour ago. It matters nothing to Black Knights no more, their lust for destruction towards the betrayers that left them with no hope for their people have run off to the stadium for battle. Their knightmares ran on full speed through the trees until they were no longer hidden, straight to the bare land where they could almost see Tamaki and the two pilots far away. Thankfully the idiot member wasn't covered with bullets, yet...

"I'm spotting British machines- I mean knightmares coming towards us, you Black Knights better hurry up!" One Pilot said through in a tone of worry as one Britannian already alerted his buddies to show up, Tamaki and the two pilots charged in, as the main force were one mile away from the front line.

"Mount up the vertibirds boys, we're going in!" Frank Horrigan shouted across the forest like a wolf howling through the night and entered in his assigned special cargo vertibird like a proud soldier doing a favor for his country. All pilots knew now's the time for action and quickly launched their aircraft, Richardson's fleet finally get to be involved in battle as they flew like a pack of eagles dropping rocks.

With the air fleet and the Black Knight's main force heading towards the stadium, both knew they were going to win this, their combined forces of skill and air superiority convinced Britannia the Black Knights weren't to be messed with, now it was twice the lethal force they were now. Onward they go and onward they fight.

"Coming to retaliate now you filthy Elevens?! I'll show you."An arrogant solder from Britannia in his fancy Sutherland yelled, Tamaki responded by pulling out his sub machine gun, with his giant gun aiming at the Sutherland, he pulled the big trigger and fired at the Britannian. With the bullets hardly hitting the Sutherland from heavy damage as the soldier dodged, then returned fire towards Tamaki's Burai.

A few bullets punctured through the Burai's right arm, tearing the entire arm apart from the knightmare's torso. Tamaki cringed and tried to prevent any more damage by simply running away from the Sutherland, that is until the two vertibirds activated their nose mounted guns, unleashing a hail full of gun-powdered bullets at the Sutherland, if that wasn't enough, one two-pack of guided missiles basically went overboard as the knightmare exploded on impact with the soldier cursing such aircraft appearing at this time of day.

"Got one!" A pilot glorified himself for saving Tamaki's behind as the member looked back to see the enemy destroyed in flames with no chance of survival...

"I guess you're not that bad at all pilot..." Tamaki said with relief, however in shame as even the member who've been an 'experienced' knightmare driver since the founding of the Black Knights hadn't even killed dozens of Britannians yet.

"I have a name you know, it's Phil Anderson!" The pilot snarked back.

"Well gee sorry, It's been a week and your boss hasn't made it easy for us lately!" Tamaki shouted

"Cut it out, we're seeing multiple this time. Get ready folks!" Another pilot member of the Enclave alerted to the Black Knight-Enclave army once several enemy knightmares appeared on their newly advanced sakuradite radar.

"With pleasure!" Kallen suddenly went towards the frontline with the pilots using her Guren, the red elite took a shift-drift to find at least 5 Sutherlands at close range with her. The rest of the members battled the other 4 with melee combat while the vertibirds acted as heavy fire support.

Tohdoh launched out his chainsaw katana from his position and literally sliced a royal guard's spear apart, intercepting the knightmare's head as it fell straight into the ground. Finishing the Britannian off, the Black Knight placed his sword into the Gloucester's back, stabbing the guard in the cockpit as this is usually the way for a knightmare to combust horribly firework style.

"They promised us freedom yet decided to execute us like dogs!" Tohdoh stated furiously.

The Guren raised its menacing right arm to quickly grab a Sutherland right in the intersphere, preventing the Britannian from firing his weapon at the Red Baron. Kallen immediately reached her red trigger and activated her weapon of mass destruction of rad.

Dozens of Burai fired continuously at the enemies as the Guren's right arm had injected a red glow onto the Sutherland, almost like burning the victim inside. All its systems were basically disabled, trapped in there like a cooked turkey in an oven as the Sutherland grew some massive heat. Eventually causing a chain reaction, parts expanded and ended up blowing the poor Britannian into a burned victim or maybe even a ghoul, who knows.

"We're seeing a city block over there, push them forward!" Phil the Pilot shouted to the army, then letting out a good enough war cry to give a little motivation for better morale on the knights and soldiers.

A knightmare wave attack commenced by the Black Knights had all Sutherlands and Cloucesters unprepared to handle such fast people to topple against them like this, a temptation to fire at the Black Knights was petty to say the least, with the first strike going to the Enclave Knights, Sutherlands were outnumbered and got incapacitated like any other victims to the rebels, their pilots got no mercy from their offenders.

The army went on and hurried to the Special Administrated Zone to cleanse the whole stadium of enemies, while the Japanese had been relieved to see their rescuers kill the executors. The Japanese gave proud gestures and wished the Black Knights good luck to take the entire settlement off Cornelia's hands. With oppressors of Area 11 angry, it'll be a full-scale force to take the system down... Something Zero planned all along in order to spread his influence outside the country.

Ohgi and the Holy Swords rushed into the Stadium as it wasn't far from their objective now. The whole army separated into three big groups that took care of the district. Kallen led the 2nd group to protect the Japanese from getting harmed by Britannians while the Head Lt led the 3rd group in his fleet with some minor members of the Black Knights were a part of. Unfortunately, a very familiar guest attempted to ruin the whole operation.

"It's that white knight that's been causing us trouble ever since!" Tamaki blurted out towards the newly arrived Lancelot.

"All units, engage the white knightmare with air compatibility, assist the Black Knights!" The Head Lt commanded, with then on the minor Burais and vertibird fleet took a correct formation and proceeded to fire towards the Lancelot. With extensive fire, the Lancelot barely managed to activated it's shields before it could become scrap. Even that was still a power struggle between a super prototype and a whole platoon...

"Come on, when will that guy die already?!" a Black Knight member yelled through the comm. With an unfortunate luck, Suzaku decided he didn't had much time left for unnecessary battles like these and attempted to be a coward(IRONIC no seriously, VERY IRONIC throughout the story) and fled part of the streets to look for his lost love that had run rampant...

"You'd think that knightmare would have been destroyed from all that firepower we've packed in. What the hell is it made out of?!" Phil asked hysterically.

"Trust us, whatever that pilot is, he's a perfect match for that knightmare. Keep an eye out for it." Tamaki insisted the Enclave should watch their own back for Suzaku, if he were to find all three bases, you bet your ass he's going to wipe the entire faction with no effort. At least if Richardson isn't going to beg for help.

"Sounds like a challenge..." Horrigan then saw some potential to fight this white knight one day...

The vertibird fleet helped out clear any remaining Britannians occupying the district near the stadium. The Head Lt send out packs of four to spot any civilians and turn them in to the Administrated Zone where most of the core member eliminated any hostiles in there faster than the road runner. The rest of the fleet scouted ahead to check on any further activity beyond the stadium if there were going to be reinforcements any time soon.

He could see her, just right there, going closer by every inch, his personal vertibird flew straight towards the Guren and the Gawain. A matter of angst and risk was all it took for Richardson to get nervous. The President can't just land and take the princess from Britain away and have Zero track him down, it'll be a train wreck. He must send one of his bodyguards on the other vertibird inside the stadium to get her for him.

In fact, the Secret Service including himself were the only ones who knew this plan out of all the members of the Enclave after the SAZ went straight to hell. The President came up with this plan during his evacuation on another private channel, open only for the Secret Service.

Richardson's plan was simple, like an evil cartoon mastermind back in the Pre-War days: steal the princess, betray the Black Knights, gain a political relationship between Britannia using Euphemia as bargain for land on Japan, eventually taking advantage on the technologies they use, and prepare for war when the time comes... A strategy Richardson thought what was a good future for his organization.

"Mr. President, we're currently seeing the princess outside the machine, what do you wish to do with her?" His pilot said right beside him, not even planning to question orders on behalf of the President as loyalty overwhelmed his morality. With the Gawain floating and the Guren standing right in front of Euphemia, the Prez needed to act fast.

"I'll be sending in Agent Smith, we can't afford to have the Black Knights know who's responsible for kidnapping their enemy you know." Richardson said to the pilot, he gave a small brief inside Agent Smith's vertibird, telling him what's his special errand and suggesting stealth is key without letting Kallen and Zero's knightmares notice the agent until he grabbed the princess. Zero is gonna get a very special surprise waiting on the ground...

With C2 guarding, Zero the magnificent watched as Euphemia noticed the masked man was there, holding an assault rifle the princess withdrew her aim at Zero.

"Oh, it's you, I thought you were one of them. So I was thinking we should run the Special Administrated Zone of Japan... wait Japan?" Euphemia said brightly holding a rifle in her hands, one of the most unsettling things that could happen to a joyful young woman.

"Yes, I would have liked it that way..." Zero said in an optimistic tone, as he didn't look at the Princesss with his own eyes, no eye-contact to show.

"I've done a terrible thing to you, but I can't afford to let you suffer, Euphie."

Zero most mysterious action to the latest had slowly pulled something out of his pocket, hidden within his luxuriously leathered cloak. Something that will mark a hopeful person that is just too good for this sinful Earth to die.

Euphie gave out a disturbing scream, the shock raised through the roof to find what could be Agent Smith and another teammate with the soldier, held the Princess from their covered hands. The sad truth these men are from the Enclave have surprised Zero from even getting here and not fighting with his men at the stadium. Grabbing Euphemia was another question that came to mind, Zero had been frustrated to see such thing...

"What are you doing?!" Zero demanded, with a held grip on his hidden handgun.

"This brit is now officially part of our operation, we're taking her in!" Agent Smith yelled to the man of miracles in a thick southern accent from the 20th century. Trying to get Euphemia to cooperate, a difficult situation Smith needed to secure or face dire consequences from the President.

"By whose authority?!" Zero asked

"By President Richardson, unlike you he's ready to actually do something with your country. Now if you excuse us we'll be leaving!"

"Lelouch help!" Euphie screamed with her best efforts, proven to be useless at the fact Zero had the disadvantages. Zero realized he was the one who was betrayed first. The realization hit the masked man like a steel brick, cracking his skull wide open that Richardson was a snake all along behind Zero's back, despite Zero's efforts to defeat the President's game, it was simply too late to take him down as of now.

'Richardson... You think you can change the rules by stabbing me in the back? you haven't won anything but seal your own fate. I'm the man who will change this world for the better, I'll destroy your entire organization if you get in my way!' Zero swore.

Kallen saw what went down there, very confused if the Enclave were hostile or not? What can she do? Eventually something will happen. The red baron will have to check this out herself on the ground once she deactivates her Guren Mk 2 after this battle ends.

Agent Smith looked up to the sky and saw some major trouble about to tremble upon him, the soldier carefully pulled Euphemia from her feet, bridal style, but much more difficult to pull off as the 3rd Princess of Britannia attempted to hit the armored agent in the face, later regretting the decision of punching a bullet-proof helmet once she could feel the pain in her knuckles.

"OW!"

"Shut it, l-look don't try to make any sudden moves, as far as I'm concerned that thing is coming after you!" Agent Smith said to Zero, then the agent carrying Euphie and his comrade ran as fast as he could to enter his vertibird. Making Euphemia a captured individual by the Enclave for some political bargaining.

"Euphie!" Zero yelled out, only to encounter his arch-enemy Suzaku Kurugui above them once the Gawain piloted by C2 fired the hadron cannons continuously from it's shoulders. The situation happened so quick, became worse as conflicts popped from everywhere. Zero had three things to deal with just from trying to talk to Euphemia.

'I've got to stop those people from kidnapping Euphie!' The knight said through his thoughts as he led his Lancelot to top speed towards the Gawain. His full efforts to dodge the Gawain's cannons were successful with his determination to rescue the one he loved most, well sorta.

But not the point, as the Lancelot went to a feet close to C2, he performed a move all knightmares were not entitled to except his knightmare. A spinning kick called the "Spin!Zaku" appeared in front of C2's eyes, knocking the 7 meter knightmare off it's feet afloat, crashing down to the ground.

The Lancelot made its move on the red knightmare near him. Both immediately made an attack on each other when Kallen was about to activate her right arm to launched her deadly radical wave surger! Unfortunately, Kallen wasn't even close to using it as the Guren was knocked away fiercely by the Lancelot's arm so hard it actually broke off into little pieces. Kallen gritted her teeth in anger with her Guren incapacitated by her rival.

Eventually Agent Smith's vertibird would soon face the wraith of Suzaku next.

With Kallen and C2 out of the picture for a small minute before they could get back up, the Lancelot accelerated to the side of the vertibird, trying his full best not to try to explode the aircraft.

...

"The machine is trying to halt our evacuation, I can't out maneuver it!" The pilot shouted in a frenzied state as he tried to calm himself down under these stressful times. The vertibird immediately felt an impact, getting pulling into the state of motion as the Lancelot grabbed the front using one arm.

Smith knew the vertibird wasn't going anywhere especially in this altitude, heck they were only 15 feet above the ground that's the best reason he can come up with to escape.

"Switch to auto-pilot then, come on! We're abandoning ship, if we can evade fast from the machine maybe we'll have a chance to not get spotted!" Agent Smith yelled to his assigned squad holding down Euphie as she struggled to release the grips on her forearms.

C2 was in a really desperate situation regarding Suzaku, the witch had always witnessed seeing the white knight every time the Black Knights were guaranteed to win a skirmish against their enemies. Despite him being an annoyance, Zero has yet to actually consider killing him with C2 questioning why couldn't the masked man just end his live, even though there were hidden reasons why...

"C2... Destroy that aircraft! I don't care whether the Enclave stands against it, if Euphemia lives throughout the day then I've proven nothing to assure victory. You know what needs to be done!" Zero said using his headset under his helmet as he watch Suzaku grasp the vertibird with his own hand.

C2 sighed in response and immediately turned to find a bit of close depth to the vertibird being evacuated by the occupants. With no hesitation, C2 fired the Gawain's hadron cannons.

"GET OUT! THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO FUC-AARRGH!"

A molten metal red substance beam went into a direct hit at the vertibird, turning into a cooked copter before it suddenly burst into flames and exploded a second later. Engulfing the Lancelot with toxic smoke from the now destroyed vertibird.

Kallen, C2 and Zero all saw this tragic moment, for Suzaku at least. In fact the realization of the blasted remains of the copter broke the white knight completely in despair. His whole mind came to a stop and saw directly into nothingness, only the smoke that went into his interface appeared. The thoughts were endless, panic grew and grew until time became a meaningless thing. His questions about the massacre towards Euphie simply vanished as the princess was no more...

Suzaku pushed his manual controls to the fullest, filled with chaotic rage as he rushed to his sworn enemies for battle with a heavy disadvantage. Not like he cared for such thing, he was devastated, torn apart. Out of the smoke he was surprised to see no one in his presence, had it been a while or did it really took that long to mourn his beloved.

The white knight searched everywhere for that bastard Zero, the Gawain was actually seen flying away from a distance to the stadium as the Guren followed pursuit. Suzaku's eyes were moist, to the point of sobs. Teeth to the point of almost cracking, the white knight screamed to the top of his lungs as he begged god why had this happened to the person he loved most...

Richardson the snake was trembling with awe, his bodyguard seemingly killed along with the princess he had hoped to capture. With the mission failure the President had no options left but to blend it with the crowd until another opportunity comes.

"Return to the stadium, the Black Knights and the fleet probably took control of it by now."

"Yes Mr. President." The pilot said in response.


Phil Anderson was astonished by these amount of people inside the stadium once they've cleared out all the Brits. He had worn the traditional power armor just like the soldiers, his face unseen by people as they yelled and raised their arms up in the air like freedom fighters. The majority of the Enclave fleet landed right beside the entrances, joining the others outside where Japanese stared towards them in a nervous tone.

Phil got his name called by one of the members known other than Tamaki, who shouted to the Enclave calling out Phil's name as his identity was never seen by the Black Knights.

"Yo Phil, where the heck are you man?" Tamaki said aloud, until he spotted Phil raising his hand up like some student in the vaults. The idiot member grinned in and walked up to the pilot with a crowd of Enclave members watching the Black Knight.

"You guys sure know how to fly those vertibirds of yours" Tamaki said to the group of soldiers as they would rather go on patrol than talk to this rookie, Phil watched as Tamaki gave his hand to the faceless pilot, wanting to shake Phil's hand outta respect.

"We're only following orders, nothing special." Phil cautiously raised his right hand, turning it into a handshake by someone outside the Oil Rig, true the Enclave were a xenophobic organization who hated mutants but that still doesn't mean the Enclave weren't careful on contact with the outside.

"Alright! Say Phil, you think you can join us beating some Britannians at that mobile base back there? We got them surrounded like a bunch of animals in cages come on!" Tamaki asked with excitement.

Phil didn't really had an opinion on beating up people just for a few kicks, but he's afraid that would get him in trouble for breaking soldier protocol, with regret, Phil denied.

"I really should stay outside, I wouldn't want to get in trouble just to beat up people." The pilot said.

"Eh suit yourself, you'll be messing out on the fun!" With the Black Knight turning towards the G-1 Base and going inside to beat the officials, Phil was left with his comrades to watch as hordes of Japanese had mixed expressions on the Special Administrated Zone of Japan, some were in pain, some were finally happy to find a rebellion is to happen in Area 11, and some just want in on some of the action. An event Phil never saw in his life before.

Richardson just exited out of his personal vertibird with his bodyguards escorting him inside what seemed to be a room under the stage. The Black Knights during their little celebration told him Zero was suppose to be here along with the other core members. Richardson marched on his way what was Zero up to, a question about that destroying Smith and his vertibird was one of the President's first questions. Something Richardson had to be sneaky about or else people will find out he send the command in.

"With all due respect Mr. President, was it really worth Agent Smith's death to capture a foreign princess and have her as a bargaining chip to some country we don't even know about?" The President's bodyguard said beside while they walked along the steps quietly.

"Pff, those people have weaponry bigger than Agent Horrigan himself. If we ever got a fight with Britain itself we'll be facing extinction, the last thing we need is war."

"That's a major problem we're about to face if we don't ship out of Japan, The Black Knights and Britannia are at a civil war that will determine who controls the country. What do we gain while our fleet is at risk to die for those... filthy people."

Richardson came to a sudden stop and turned to his bodyguard to look at him through his colored visors. A stern expression was given to the agent as the President had his hands behind his back with some disappointment. The agent became nervous for arguing against the President of the United States.

"Our organization talked about this, these people are not mutants and second Agent Withers, an alliance with the lesser power will only waste valuable time and assets, helping out the bigger power is our only hope to restore America..." Richardson ended the conversation with a reason helping Britannia is a good choice for the Enclave, too bad that's not how the culture itself works.

"Excuse my rudeness Mr. President, I think I've gotten a bit overboard." Withers apologized to his President. With no response from Richard, the agent wished to find the masked man Richardson seeks out. With fortunate luck, the corrupt President and Withers found Zero after they've heard some commands below the stairs. At least nine people including the masked man appeared before the President. Four out of nine people Richardson were familiar with.

Once Prez and Agent took five steps down the stairs, all nine of them began to notice the Enclave meeting up. Zero wasn't surprised to see such backstabbing faces appear on his meeting with his allies, no word came from the President's mouth to that further moment.

"I remember you, you were the man who arrived with your special helicopter during the Special Administrated Zone of Japan. Zero, what's this man doing here?" A really old man asked with his cane. Not to mention this guy must have had a brain tumor the size of a basketball to have his head shaped like that. Richardson hissed towards the old man and basically had no idea who this guy was. Zero turned to the President and then towards his old ally, giving the old man a little school lesson regarding Rich, maybe Zero could tell him why Suzaku and Richardson would be a great subject to tell as the two greatest Benedict Arnolds this world has ever seen.

"Kirihara, this is one of my allies that ''helped'' us eliminate any Britannian forces from killing the Japanese. His name is Richardson." Zero said delightfully as he left out the Enclave from the topic.

Kirihara looked at the man in the suit with a tone of distrust, he could even remember a sight glimpse at Richardson talking to General Dalton, an unknown topic they've discussed, however Kirihara nodded towards Zero explanation, having Richardson on board seems to be an acceptable thing as long he doesn't do anything too hasty in the Black Rebellion.

"Good enough." Kirihara ended.

"If you all excuse me, me and Richardson have a very important thing to discuss. Our plans will come to action soon enough..." Zero stated to everyone in the room, Kallen gave a quick glance towards the Enclave member with ease, turning around like the rest and leaving the two leaders be.

Then a teenage girl watched as the masked man stood beside the President, on a last note, this girl giggled in excitement towards Zero and quickly ran up the stairs like the rest. Ignoring the actions of the girl, Zero could finally question the man behind the kidnapping with no interruptions. The Man of Miracles waited for this day ever since he had met the President of the Enclave back on the island, what seemed like months were actually weeks.

"Where were you during the massacre Richardson?" Zero questioned with disdain.

"Once the ceremony went all to hell, me and my guards escaped while you did a job well done for your country. I didn't think you would round up that many Japanese." Richardson assured once he tried not to get suspicious with Zero, perhaps he over did the power of acting and underestimated Zero's knowledge of the human mind. The Masked Man simply could not give in to the President's excuses anymore and raised his own argument to counter Richardson.

"Is that so? Is there any reason you decided to come to the Special Administrated Zone?" Zero asked.

"Obviously to distract the officials, I told you that remember?"

"It's funny how one of your soldiers came towards the streets and greeted me by stealing Euphemia, the one I've sworn to kill after what she has done to the Japanese." Zero stated.

This was where things started to heat up around the President, by now Richardson needed to denied all those things before he cracks and confesses to the masked man. One of Richardson's fatal flaws...

"Your agent said you're responsible for the kidnapping."

Richardson's eyes grew wide and found his name very shocking. How could this be? Did Zero knew what happened this entire time when Euphie was captured inside Agent Smith's vertibird? How could one simple job be turned into a disaster? Perhaps Agent Smith wasn't a very good operative when you blurt out your leader's name in front of the man you wouldn't want knowing about it. Another hole into the President's excuses.

"You see Zero, there's a very, very good reason for such thing. I wanted everyone to know Euphemia is a cold-hearted bitch who lures in foreign people and suddenly decides to kill them off. So I ordered one of my agents to capture her and teach her the lesson of punishment. I was always doing it for our alliance together, so don't get the wrong idea." Richardson said like an innocent child attempting to play the 'innocent until guilty' card, Zero wasn't buying anything the President said, this was getting too ridiculous for the Masked Man.

"Oh Richard, how only your pity excuses will save you now. If you truly wanted an alliance with the Black Knights then you would have certainly notify your agent coming to take Euphie away then, in fact why haven't you kept in touch with me after the massacre? Surely you would have at least called me once after your disappearance."

"I... Look, there was a lot of things going on, I was too busy."

"Too busy planning your kidnapping on Euphemia while this would gain the Enclave power?" Zero asked to the point of demand from Richardson, who became annoyed and frustrated, signs of defeat from a verbal fight that was bound to lose for the President.

"Not true! What makes you think the Enclave would ever want someone who has to do jack on our goals?!" Richardson yelled to the masked man.

"Because I see a man who requires power from his enemies and allies to ensure he is the victor on top of the food chain... with that mind-set, the Enclave will do anything to reach their objective by all means necessary even when they step on their own people." Zero explained as he fully saw all actions the Enclave have done to achieve in this week.

"Everything I've done throughout my career as a politician, as a president, I did it slowly for my country that needed to be cleanse from the impure, I accepted the fact all the bad things I've done was necessary for the good of mankind!"

"You care for no one but yourself, as long as you're in command, you certainly don't give a damn towards anything or anyone except power itself."

Richardson was on the verge of mental breakdown, the things he had done were always for the good of humanity. There were times where he cared about the people, but in his older years from being a President were not better days. He started to care more about the results than people because loyalty convinced Richardson that soldiers were complete tools for his work. He realized that being President felt like the complete embody of your entire faction, almost god like, when the commander-in-chief says you jump, you will jump out of honor.

Every time your President says you kill, you kill out of glory. Then when your President says you die, you'll die out of faith for your entire country. That is what Richardson had experienced in his prime time, now he was simply a man who felt like a king sitting in his throne expecting an order from everyone in the Oil Rig for the greater good of humanity...

"What makes you and me so different huh?! You're just a man who covers his face for the sake of being mysterious! As far as I know we're both men who like to give orders out to our members, we accept the sacrifices they make to reach victory and can care less about any of them!" Richardson said through anger, fury and devastation to the brink...

"That's where you are wrong..." Zero said calmly to the enraged President.

Zero looked to Richardson's stern eyes and explained why he isn't and never will be like the immoral President ever.

"I created the Black Knights because I needed to destroy the world of greed and tyranny and to create anew for my little sister who's blind and crippled! I accept sacrifices because that is the nature of war itself, I care deeply for my members and for that they give me loyalty! You control your troops by illusion, fraud, but I control my troops out of promises I give to them! Therefore you're just a corrupt immoral man, for I am ZERO, THE MAN OF MIRACLES!"

"YOU'RE NOTHING COMPARED TO ME!" The President of the United States of America immediately reached to his left pocket and pulled out a quick handgun from his arsenal. His teeth gritted to the fullest as he cocked the handgun, rushing to find a weak spot towards the man of miracles, until then Richardson ignored any noises, voices , and people, all he cared about was the death of Zero. With his last breath taking place right now, Richardson finally saw the red-eye of Zero, fully exposed at the end of his helmet's eye retraction. With that the President aimed there and went for the eye to kill Zero once and for all.

"I COMMAND YOU TO FOLLOW MY ORDERS!" Zero yelled throughout the room, just when Richardson was about to pull the trigger. With silence appearing after Zero's yell, the President has yet to fire at the masked man. Richardson came to a complete stop into his mind and wandered off with no actions done. Zero calmed himself down once Richardson went to a breakdown. Seconds later, the President lowered his handgun and his expressions were much more relaxed now as he faced Zero. With the usual command, Richardson gave an unsettling grin to the masked man, no longer attempting to murder him on the spotlight.

"Yes. I await your orders, Zero..." The President said with a bow to ensure Zero has requested him at anytime. It was at that day Richardson was merely a human now, like an artificial being programmed to be bossed around. The President of the Enclave was no more, only a tool for Zero as he knew the entire fate of the Enclave fleet was in his entire hands now... Only C2 from afar watching the entire event saw that Zero could be losing it after his accident from the power he wields...

The Japanese people did not stand for Euphemia's actions on the ceremony, an act history will never forget and give her a name that shows why she's hated throughout Japan, The Princess Massacre...

"I hope that bitch burns in hell!"

"We're finished with their damn lies!"

"Death to them all!"

And so they've shouted out, an angry mob that had the last straw broken in front of a million people who wanted peace, truce, and a better life. Only to show that even accidents led to bad results. Euphemia li Britannia was no martyr, no hero in that event, her actions through a small camera proved she was guilty for the massacre that caused such pain and agony. Zero, the Man of Miracles raised his voice for every single person to heed out his warning towards Britannia, the throne who induces fear to their rivals and conquers them with an iron fist. Zero shared his idea where an independent nation could be free from the king's grasp and ensure a nation could finally thrive with no worries. He called it the United States of Japan, one that was inspired by many rebellions led by men who believed everyone was created equal...

With that, the Masked Man received a full-scale army destined to defeat Cornelia's army that raged war against each other. It was at that moment the Black Rebellion would change the whole world into realizing even one man could make all the difference in the world. War finally erupted into a new era...


It was now night-time, as the sun went down and the moon showing its brightness for the Rebellion. Groups from all over the country joined together and established a fearsome thing that politicians feared the most in a nation. A violent riot...

"Everyone in Toyama Squad is at your disposal."

"Roger that, any weaponry?"

"Only explosives from Gokayama and we are still in need of vehicles. Can anyone of us ride with you?"

"The only thing we have available are freight trains, as far as I'm concerned that all we have for vehicles besides the G-1 Base right now."

"Right." The head of one of the rebellions in Japan said through the radios they've stolen on Britannian officers

The rebels who were once former pity resistant thugs, were now officially bought up to members of a large organization, they've watched inside the balcony of G-1 mobile base as rebel groups join their forces together and formed a huge line, marching its way right into the Tokyo Settlement.

"Looks like every rebel group throughout Japan are joining up with us on an invasion." Tamaki smiled with his arms pressed on the sides.

"The remnants of the Blood of the Samurai faction too!" Sugiyama said with relief

"Can't believe all our numbers are increasing by the minute." Yoshida mutters to his comrades, arms crossed with a smile as he watched something from the distance.

If that wasn't enough, the core members watched as a trail of vertibirds appeared in their depth. Finally glad to see air support joining the Insurrections for a fight against Cornelia's army. Kallen noticed this and raised her head forward to see a custom knightmare appear right below a vertibird's winch.

"Looks like the Enclave are gonna to make it easier for us with those vertibirds." Inoue mentioned.

"Hey, I know a pilot in that fleet, his name was Phil!" Tamaki pointed to the vertibird fleet, wanting to prove everyone that the Enclave can be friends with the Black Knights too! Then this gave Tamaki flack by having the core members chuckling at him. Tamaki looked towards his friends in frustration and gritted his teeth.

"What?!" The member asked in confusion, even angry as he didn't like to be made fun of in public.

"Yeah sure, and I believe those guys in armor are huge fanboys of Zero." Inoue blurted out towards the idiot member, barely controlling her chuckles as did everyone except the one getting laughed at.

"I swear to Kami, Phil is real! Gah, you guys are just jealous that I have a friend who controls a huge helicopter, aching to destroy something!" Tamaki said aloud, but that just added more fuel to the fire as his friends let out a guffaw that traumatized the member in humiliation.

An hour later inside the G-1 was Zero, Diethard, Minami, and C2 planing out their attack on the Settlement. Planning an attack was something no mere person can do as handling all the communications, tactics, strategies, logistics, advantages and disadvantages in battles were very tedious. And that's just the very basics of controlling an army

"So, you're planning to have our forces build up as groups join us to engage an attack on the Governmental Bureau?" Diethard questioned.

"That's correct, once midnight strikes Me, C2, and the Enclave fleet will take care of Cornelia's air support. Our main forces will charge forward and all will go to plan til then..."

"Charging your army towards a well defended building will only be suicide..." A voice behind the three said in a heavy southern stern accent. The four members of the Black Knights turned towards this voice and saw a middle-aged man in his fifties, hands behind his back with a look of professionalism and a fancy trenchcoat.

"I'm aware of that, and you are?" Zero asked politely to the grumbled man. An expression of distrust Zero formed underneath his masked, oblivious to who this man is.

"Zero! I'd like for you to meet Colonel Autumn, the man who saved my vertibirds from getting destroyed on Japan." Richardson said with glee, once he came to the scene pressed his left hand gently onto the Colonel's right shoulder, giving a sight tap as the President smiled.

Zero gave out his right hand, proceeding to get a handshake from Autumn, while a bit redundant, the Colonel watched the masked man's gloved hand. Raising his left hand, Autumn pressed Zero's hand, turning into another handshake for Autumn's introduction. Once the handshake was finished, both hands separated, going inside the topic of winning this battle...

"Nice to meet your presence here. As you can see, the Black Knights are charging in on the offensive, hoping to destroy any Britannian forces once their defenses are down inside the building."

"And how are you planning to do that?" Colonel Autumn asked with sight curiosity.

"Simple. We cut off their ground support down under..." Zero finished off, a hidden simile had shown under his mask of his.
