Chapter 10: The Black Knights
Okay, I know about the problem with my updates, but for crying out loud, I've already updated 3 times today! Less talk, more disclaimer.

Now Enjoy!
We contacted the resistance group from Shinjuku, but I was surprised to see that Ogi-san was there.
"What are you waiting for?" asked Zero (A/N: Whenever Lelouch has his mask on, he will be addressed as Zero, just thought I'd give you an FYI.)
"Come in." I said
"As of now, this place will be our hideout." Said Zero
"Wait, who is that other person here?" asked Kallen
"I am known as the Black Rose." I said
"Are you the other person from Shinjuku?" asked a male
"I am." I answered
"So, you think joining up with us is a good idea?" asked Ogi
"Yes, we're comrades after all." Said Zero
"Holy cow, so what is this, huh?" asked the same male from earlier
"Do you mind if I ask how you two came by this?" asked Ogi
"We borrowed it from a rather libertine noble man who indulges our requests." I said
"You two asked for it, just like that?" asked Ogi
"Don't worry, no strings attached." Said Zero
"It's huge! Check it out, it's got a second story!" exclaimed a second male
"On the other hand, no one would expect us in something like this." Said Kallen
"It's even got a TV." Said the second male
"How are things looking at the scene?" asked a male news reporter
"What's this?" asked Kallen
"I'm here in front of the Lake Kawaguchi convention center hotel. The hoteljackers have identified themselves of the Japan Liberation Front. Members of the Sakuradite allegation meeting, most notably Chairman James were taken hostage as well as several tourists and hotel employees. This footage was taken by the perpetrators, in it, you can clearly see Chairman James, including some students." Said the female news reporter
Oh no! Kalin-san!
"From the student council." Said Kallen
"The leader of the group claims to be Lieutenant Colonel Kuzabe of the now defunct Japanese Military. Sakuradite, an essential component in the manufacturer of high temperature super conductors, is a vital strategic resource that directly affects world security. Area 11 is the largest producer of this material, providing 70 percent of the world's total supply. Here, at the yearly national meeting of Sakuradite producers, it will be determined how this resource will be distributed among the world's nation. It's no exaggeration to say that the outcome determines the balance of global power between Britannia and other countries. It is believed that the terrorists are using world interest in the annual gathering to their advantage by carrying out this violent hotel takeover." Said the female news reporter
"So, they've made their move." Said the first male
"They're easily the biggest anti-Britannian force in Japan, and now their pride's hurt." Said Ogi
"Because of us?" asked the second male
"Maybe." Said Ogi
"I don't know whether to feel happy or sad about that; because they're all gonna end up dead." Said the first male
"Sir, did your daughter appear to be one of the hostages? Is there anything you want to say?" asked the female news reporter
"She was only sightseeing! Shirley is still a student, but these criminals act indiscriminately! Savages, I want to know for sure, I want to know if my daughter's alright! She hasn't done anything wrong!" exclaimed Mr. Fenette
Shirley, Nina, Millie, and Kalin-san, there has to be a way that we can save you.
"Zero, Black Rose, what will happen to the hostages?" asked Kallen
"Eventually, there will be no reason to keep those Britannians alive." Said Zero
"Yeah, I'm sure you're right." Said Kallen
"Hey Zero, Black Rose, I found these. Should I hand them out to everyone? I mean, as far as gear goes, it looks pretty hip, but we're a resistance group, so…" started Ogi
"You're wrong! We're not a resistance group, is that clear?" I asked
"Well then, what are we?" asked Ogi
"What we are, what we're trying to be, are knights for justice!" exclaimed Zero
We decided to take action, so Lelouch and I decided to head over to the Lake Kawaguchi hotel, where I used my Geass to hijack a news van. Sure enough, after we hijacked the van, Cornelia ambushed us with her Gloucester.
"Well, well, we meet again Zero, you as well Black Rose. Are you members of the Japan Liberation Front? Or perhaps you intend to help us. Regardless, our concerns take priority over yours at the moment, and so for the death of my half-brother Clovis, I shall take my revenge right here!" exclaimed Cornelia
"Cornelia, which would you choose? Clovis who is dead or Euphemia who is alive?" asked Zero
Euphemia? Is she another one of my half-sisters?
"It's within our power to save Euphemia for you Cornelia." I said
"What do you mean? I have no idea what you're talking about!" exclaimed Cornelia
"She said that we're able to rescue her!" exclaimed Zero
"Attention all forces, let Zero and the Black Rose pass. I repeat, let Zero and the Black Rose pass!" exclaimed one of Cornelia's guards
Either the Japan Liberation Front will accept us as their ally, or they're going to treat us like nothing more than a simple nuisance. In any event, Lelouch better have a plan, because if they don't accept us as allies, then we're goners.
In a conference room…
"You have no intention of joining us?" asked Zero
"Remove those masks and reveal your real faces to us, it's disrespectful not to!" exclaimed Colonel Kuzabe
"We understand, but before we do, Zero and I would like to ask you something." I said
"What exactly do you hope to accomplish by this action." Zero and I said in unison
"Gain attention, I want this country and the world to know that the Japanese aren't dead yet!" exclaimed Colonel Kuzabe
"How stale." Said Zero
"You people are obsolete, there's no saving you." I said
"What? Why you arrogant…!" exclaimed a guard
"Explain what you mean by that Black Rose." Said Colonel Kuzabe
"I brought the hostage that I radioed about earlier for the Lieutenant Colonel to see. She claims that she's Princess Euphemia." Said another male
"Zero! Black Rose! There's no point talking anymore!" exclaimed Colonel Kuzabe
"Die." Zero and I said in unison, activating our Geass
"Colonel! AH!" exclaimed a second guard
"Calm yourselves." Said Zero
"Zero." Said Euphemia, obviously not knowing who I was
"The Colonel and the others committed suicide when they realized how meaningless this operation was." I said
"Euphemia, you were willing to sacrifice for the commoners, you haven't changed." Said Zero
"We've heard that you're the Sub-viceroy now your highness, Princess Euphemia." I said
"It's not an appointment I'm happy with." Said Euphemia
"No, that's because Clovis was murdered, that was my handiwork. He begged pathetically for his life to the very end. He pleaded with the same tongue that ordered the deaths of Elevens." Said Zero
"You mean Japanese, Zero." I said extending my hand in front of his face
"So is that the reason why you killed my brother?" asked Euphemia
"No, that is not the reason." I said
"Then why?" asked Euphemia
"Because Clovis was an offspring of the Britannian Emperor, that reminds me, you're one of his children too, aren't you? But I suppose for now, you deserve to live." said Zero
"You haven't done anything wrong Euphemia, unlike Clovis." I said
An explosion soon rocked the hotel, and this time, I saw the White Knightmare from Shinjuku, and a new Knightmare, a Red Knightmare with white highlights. I barely registered Lelouch pulling the trigger on the explosives places all around the hotel, but we had bigger things to worry about now. For the time being, Lelouch and I were about to be on camera, and my public debut as the Black Rose was about to begin.
"For those who don't know, I am the Black Rose. Dear Britannians, have no fear, all of the hostages from the hotel are safe and sound. I, the Black Rose." I said
"And I, Zero return them to you unharmed. People! Fear us, or rally behind us as you see fit. We are the Black Knights!" exclaimed Zero
"We of the Black Knights stand with all those who have no weapons to wield, regardless they be Japanese or Britannians! The Japan Liberation Front cowardly took innocent Britannia civilians hostage, and then mercilessly executed them! It was a wanted and meaningless act; therefore, they have been punished." I said
"Just as former viceroy Clovis was punished for ordering the slaughter of countless Elevens, we cannot standby and allow such cruelty be carried out. And so we made him pay for his actions. We will not repudiate battle on a fair and level field, but neither will we tolerate a one-sided massacre of the weak, by the strong! The only one who should kill…" started Zero
"Are those who are prepared to be killed! Wherever oppressors abuse their power by attacking those who are powerless, we shall appear again! No matter how mighty or how formidably our foe may be, those of you with power, fear us! Those of you without it, rally behind us! We, the Black Knights, shall be the one's who stand in judgment of this world!" I exclaimed
I'm sorry about the update problem, but I'm really working on it! Please review, I accept all reviews, but…see you next time! Until then, this is sakuraphoenix, signing off!
