hey readers...its been awhile hasn't it?

I must somewhat apologise for the lateness of this chapter, after a few set backs, the chapter was almost done at the start of July. However my willingness came to an absolute stop when the soccer started...so i do apologise for me not giving you guys enough attention and not providing an update of whats going on. But fear not! I will try and get another chapter done (most of it has been written out, i just need to type it up) in a months time. I've also noticed from other fanfics i've been reading/follow authors seem to be taking a break as well (bit strange no?) Any way lets get to the reviews.

Dino Aids - chapter 5

"Yen" is what the Japanese currency is called (Like how we have US Dollar and Aus Dollar)

Haxler - Chapoter 5

I kind of thought that the time..well Japan would have opened up its borders to everyone now and so different people would have found work, hence why theres a few "Non" Japanese names (i still think whether it was the right choice or not)

mightyblackknight - Chapter 13

Trust me this battle wont be the last one. And as for the ending..you will have to wait to find out :)

Chapter 14 - Battle for Tokyo Bay Part 1

18/5

Tokyo Japan, Bay of Tokyo 11am

"Anything on the radar?" asked Ohgi has he sunk back into this chair, the promised day had come. Where supposedly Ares and an army would come knocking on their front door, the previous two days plans, strategies and trials had been done to make sure everyone was ready. They had a total amount of twelve thousand Knightmares on hand with more coming in a days time with his highness schnitzel brining along an extra five thousand Knightmares, many being composed of the newer version of Vicents and old models. They would be flown but one of the biggest transport planes you could think of as well as several smaller sized aircraft carries.

"No prime minster still nothing on the radar, the first line has not received any types of singles or unit entering the perimeter." Ohgi wiped his sweat as he looked at the time, it was only 11 am as the midday sun started to rise on a deserted city. The evacuations had gone to plan and everyone had left the city since last night. The last lot of people leaving at around 10 pm, giving Ohgi a peace of mind that his people would be safe. However, what worried him most was his wife, who had decided to stay and fight, he felt somewhat uneasy about it. Their son also complaining of why he wasn't staying only for his mother to pick him up and kissing him on the forehead telling him to "Be brave and not worry about a thing." He heard the sadness in her voice and after those words. It almost sounded like someone saying something at a funeral as they said there last words.

And on top of that, he had to worry about his military who had decided to fight, the four thousand Knightmares under his command. He had never been a good leader in his earlier years during the fight against the last emperor. Every now and then he would be contemplating what he would do and what steps he would take to ensure the best possible outcome. Ever since Zero stepped fourth his goal back then was to learn from him, to become the best leader possible. He had admired how Zero thought and how he acted; he had been the crowning jewel, the one to spark the hearts of the Japanese, only to use them instead for his own personal goal in mind. Ruling the world. Ohgi shook his head once more and sat back up straight, he was their leader and now he had to show his leadership to his country and to make them proud.

Ohgi had also heard the comments about the Britannia empress not wanting to leave here either, the ministers, the military brass and her brothers and sister and all told her to return. But in her stance, she told them no, defiant to stay here at costs. After the tenth or so meeting of trying to convince her they had given up, even some of the Britannian's wrote her messages over social media wanting for her to come back, she unlike her father one of the previous emperors she was loved by all because of the way she acted towards her people and other high ranking people throughout the world.

"This is too quiet and I don't like it."The video screen showing one of the three commanders Tohdoh. There were three commanders leading the forces. The Japanese Defense Forces with was being led by Ohgi, the black knights which Tohdoh was leading and her Highness Cornelia who was leading the Britannia's, they were all under the command of Commander Velcris and Vice Commander Rafius. Between the two of them had more experience then Ohgi, Tohdoh Cornelia then the other well trainer members. Which was some cases was a godsend.

"I don't like it anymore then you do Tohdoh, something is bound to happen and we will know it before they cause to much trouble for, if not any trouble." A plan had been put into action to order to slow down the forces, from the edge of Tokyo Bay, three barriers or three walls of forces. The first detachment to engage them would be Britannia's forces, follow behind by the Black Knights which Tohdoh lead and finally his forces if the worst came to worst. And if that failed, then the police and special police would engage them. Other plans had been put in place if that did fail, but Ohgi thought it was to "extreme" of what they wanted to do. But he had been overruled, which irritated him. He had already built this city from the ground up, he didn't want to have to do it again.

"Tohdoh, what do you think? Will we be able to repel them? Knowing what damage they have done already and it was all under our noses." As he looked back out into the clear blue sky, "It's been years since we last fought a war, I know the last one was a long one, we have had no time to prepare and two days is not enough to get ready for war." He said worriedly

"Ohgi, it will be ok, while our forces may not have so much combat experience these past few years, I've trained them and as well as I have trained myself, they are hardened warriors, just like before."

"Yes that may be true, but back then we only had swords and it depended by skill, nowadays technology can beat skills. I'm not trying to make the mood so sober…I'm just trying to be realistic here."

Ohgi heard the long drawn out sigh from Tohdoh, "Ohgi trust me we have enough strength and determination and some of the strongest pilots out on the field."

"I agree with him, I'd like to see what they can try against us, we won't be so easy to put down." A second screen appeared, with her shoulder-length purple hair, the modified red pilot sit, showing her medals had she had earned throughout her career as a Knightmare pilot and as a royal.

"Thank you for your vote of confidence your highness, it would be nice to show the PM who should be as well inspiring his troops and people on and off the field of combat."

"I never said anything about not having any faith, I'm just concerned that's all, I have a country I have to look after since we are the ones being attacked first of all places. I'm sure if it was a Britannian land her Majesty would be worried as well about her people." Interjecting Tohdoh thinking that he had "No faith" in this command

"I can understand Ohgi, your no longer a rebel, your now a leader, and people follow leaders, if you're down and moping so will they, if you show them you are ready to fight and fight for what is right, it will reflect off them as well."

'And that's what I hate about it, I don't know if I'm showing my people a good example or a bad example. I've been lucky to be this long in position for five years and this job doesn't get any easier.'

Ohgi's phone buzzed, taking it out of his pocket he looked at the caller ID, "Be back in a second." Ohgi scampered out of his chair and went outside the room, ducking into an empty room. "My dear? Everything ok out there?"

"Everything is fine Ohgi, its just….i just spoke to our son he asked us when we are coming home again or when he can come home. The maids are trying to calm him down however he keeps asking questions when they don't really want to answer. Otherwise, everything else is fine, I'm actually a bit fidgety about being back in this Knightmare. It feels strange but natural for some odd reason."

Ohgi smirked at his wife's comment, "May I remind you not so long ago, when you actually got into one with Makuto, he was so excited about everything and how he thought his mother was "awesome" for having a Knightmare stored in the garage when it should have been in storage."

"Well you can Knightmare away from the pilot, but you can't the pilot out of me. And anyway we had enough space as it was, and no one else seemed to complain about it."

"I complained about her several times…but it seems I was ignored every time I spoke out about it."

"Maybe you were just not loud enough my dear, anyway I better get off this otherwise someone is going to say something about it."

"Alright my dear, stay safe out there, and please be careful."

"You to…bye."

Control Command Center Tokyo

"There is still a chance for you to leave your Majesty, again no one is going to blame you for leaving. In fact, it would make several people happy." Vice Command Rafius once again trying to convince her Majesty to leave. There had been an outcry from the ministers for the past several weeks trying to convince her to leave Japan and to come back to the United States where she would be safe, however, it had failed multiple times.

This is the one trait she had inherited from her father, not his ruthlessness, is the ability to command or his quick thinking. It was his stubbornness and the virtue to never give in no matter the cost.

"Do I have to keep explaining myself over and over again Vice Commander?" Nunnally asked annoyingly, "I am not leaving and that is final, I will only leave if we fail to hold them back. I will not turn my back on this country that has gone through so much turmoil. I. Am. Staying." She replied hastily back. There were other reasons why she did want to leave this country, but the main one which they all knew was because her brother lay here. She had fought for his right to stay and to be buried here. The days leading up to the funeral had been hard and distressing, the Japanese had voiced their opinion that they didn't want him here, thinking it was bad luck, for someone who had caused so much death and destruction, he didn't belong here.

And while Nunnally was still recovering, her sister Cornelia had to somewhat threaten the public, reminding them Japan was still part of the Britannian empire and there would be consequences if people started talking behind there Queens back, which shut them up pretty quickly.

"Nunnally?" Nunnally turned to Sayako who had also stayed, standing a few steps behind Nunnally where the two high ranking officers were, "Shall I get you some tea? Just to calm your nerves?" Nunnally nodded her head indicating that she did want something, Sayako bowed and retreated to the back. She too was running on edge for a change. She was usually able to be cool and collected, however ever since Jeremiah had returned something didn't feel right. She knew that he and Anya had been busy, but this time something felt off, to her it had almost seemed like he had lied to her. She was good a reading people and knowing when they told the truth, part of training long ago that was drilled into her.

She had been trying to figure out why and what he was hiding and on top of that, he hadn't shown his face to join the main force in pushing them back, which to her was odd. Even Nunnally was a bit worried. Sayako finally got to the kitchen area, she started to boil the kettle, while going to one of the pantry doors she grabbed her phone that was in her pouch of her maid outfit. She opened it while at the same time getting a tea bag for Nunnally, she searched her contacts, finding Jeremiah's number and started to dial his number.

After a few rings "Hi you have reached Jeremiah Gottwald So-" Sayoko hung up the phone, letting out a hiss of annoyance, she was quickly distracted by the kettle as it reached its boiling pot, Sayoko grabbing Nunnally favourite cup poured hot water and started to dip the tea bag in and out. "Is there enough water for another cup?" Sayoko turned her head, it was Command Velcris who had asked the question, "Yes there should be enough for one more, the bags are on the top right self." She instructed the commander, he tipped his hat to Sayoko. "She's putting on a brave face that one if it was me at her age I would have panicked and left for home."

The commander looked through the bags till he found one he fancied, "I still think that she should have gone home, however, I have to admire her admiration to a country that's not part of our empire. But I still think there is a part of her that is wanting to leave."

Sayako said something and she continued tipping in and out the bag, "She's putting on the brave face." Sayako sighed, "I to wish she would decide to go home, her heart has been through enough turmoil and with her brother's wake coming soon, it's going to tear heart in two if it hasn't already. I sometimes think I should drug her tea with a sleeping agent so we can sneak her onboard and get her out of here." Velcris was somewhat surprised at the maid's statement and let a smirk out, "She does have a really good maid doesn't she?"

"Of course, she has her brother to thank her for it, with a bit of assistance from the Ashfords of course; they gave him a selection of who to choose for."

"Then how did he figure out your special skill set?" The commander asked curiously, Sayako removed the tea bag and placed it on the bench. "I think it was because of all those little tests. For example, he would knock something off and because of the training, I was able to catch it. I would get strange looks from him, almost like he was trying to figure me out. However on one morning, while I was "practicing", he walked in on me unexpectedly. And first, he thought I was trying to kill them both and was scared for his, and more importantly his sister's life. However, I explained to him very thoroughly that I was not sent to kill them. Although it did take a while for him to talk to me again and let me help, he was only ten or nine at the time.

But luckily he was able to get used to me and from then I served him and his sister till this day." The commander smiled, "She does have it good having someone like that on her side, although I wonder if she knows about the other staff and their "talents"." Sayako looked at him with a surprised look on her face, "Oh yes, I know about them, I even trained one or two of them a long time ago."

"Does that mean you have been spying on us from afar?" As Sayako put two biscuits on the small saucer. "Remember I do report to the minister of Defence, I sometimes have to tell him whats going on from afar and her safety."

"Very well, however, please don't tell her highness I sure she would have a reaction to it if she knew." Commander Velcris pretended to zip his mouth with an invisible zip, Sayako smiled and walked out of the kitchen with the Commander close behind.

"Velcris we have something," Rafius explained as he pointed towards the on-screen map, the map changed giving them visual appearance. Sayako handed Nunnally her tea as she blew on it, they looked to be three large container ships, "I thought all ships were told to avoid this area and to dock somewhere else so why are those three here?" asked Velcris, "No idea, the PM is currently trying to talk to them about it. "

"Get me the shipping ID's immediately." Shouted Velcris

Toyko Bay

"This bay is closed, please re-route your destination to one of the southern bays. This section of Japan is locked down!" Ohgi shouted through the open voice channel that was open, a few minutes before 3 shipping containers were picked up 20 kilometres away from the first defensive line. It was like that had come out from nowhere, which worried Ohgi when he first got the news of them. Like everyone else, the container ships had come from now where only bearing what looked like the European Union flag.

"I'm telling you, we need to get past! Yes, I understand what's happening but we were informed too late! I have a crew who need food, the ship is almost out of fuel and my goods will go bad if I don't dock soon." said the unknown man, Ohgi sighed once more

"May I ask you name captain?" Ohgi asking politely before losing his nerve, "I am captain Marco Larglo. My ships name is the de la frante and the ID is 7658779, please allow us to dock, before the low tide sets in."

"Please hold." Ohgi looked towards one of the crewmen, "Get me her Majesty and Vice commander and the Commander on the line."

"Yes sir." He responding and after a few second a video link screen appeared, "I can't hold them out there if it true they are bringing goods in there is a need to let them pass." After a few seconds, "Its true, they see to be legit the ship and the shipping ID to match of what they are doing here, from the goods manifest I can only see them bringing in water, food, medical supplies, ammunition, and fuel. It seems like they are a supply ship, a care package perhaps?" suggested Velcris

Ohgi was stunned, "A supply ship for us? But I thought the EU made it clear that they didn't want to get involved unless necessary, so why would they send aid and of top of that, how would know when to send something, days before the actual attack, the message was only broadcasted a few days ago."

"You have a point…PM, they would have said something that they were delivering goods to us, they had all the time in the world to send something…but only showing up now is questionable…Go back to the ship and confirm with them, who gave them the order to send goods here, it would have been an official transport vessel and not a container ship that's been on sea god knows how long."

"Very well stand by.."

Control Command Center Tokyo

"Someone get us a contact in the EU please, we need to make sure this is a legit transport vessel and not some kind of trap." Ordered Commander Velcris, the technicians started to ring phones trying to get a hold of someone from the EU.

"This would be a bloody good trap…sending aid to a country that has already said they wouldn't support until necessary.." Rafius muttered, he looked over to Nunnally who was watching the chaos unfold, he could swear that she was shaking, the brass beforehand wanted her nothing to do with the war, to "cover her eyes" so to speak. However, when she heard those words she grew even more furious, that's when the brass stopped trying to convince her to not become involved with the rising of war.

"Sir, I have checked with the shipping company and they say they are legit ships." Rafius looked confused, "Are you sure, just remember if we let them through and it's a trap we might as well give them the advantage." Rafius said disgruntled.

"Vice Commander and commander may I make a quick call to someone to double check that this is indeed a ship that belongs to Ares if you are unsure?" Rafius and Velcris looked to one another and shrugged in agreement. "Sayoko could you push me a bit towards the control panel if you could please." Sayako bowed and went behind the wheelchair and pushed her, just enough that she was in arms reach.

Nunnally took out a phone that was being carefully held in a slot on the inner side just under the armrest on the left hand. She opened it and started looking through her contacts. Both Velcris and Rafius wanted to look at what numbers she was looking at and who they were. "Don't worry." Nunnally said making both Rafius and Velcris snapping back to attention instead of leaning forwards, "He may be a little rough around the edges but he's still a good person…ah, here is the number."

Nunnally started to dial the number on the video system, she hit enter and then after maybe a minute or two, "Hello who is this? And how did you get this number? Just a reminder that you are calling Gen-"

"Hello General Julias Merryfield, its Nunnally speaking." Both Rafius and Velcris look dumbfounded at the person who Nunnally had called. There was a moment of silence as everyone went quiet, "Your Highness!" hearing the surprise in his voice, "errr, ummm" he stammered, "Could I call you back in five minutes on an official line if possible?" They were surprised of how politely the General had asked to be given a few minutes.

"Of course General, please use the line we normally use, see you shortly." The voice call hung up, Rafius was the first one to speak, "Your highness how do you know General Merryfield?!" Velcris to was also interested and how Nunnally knew him. "Well during one of my tours I got to meet the General and so we talked for awhile…it might be not topics I fancied, but I thought he was trustworthy as well as a polite person overall. And so after a bit more talking I had asked him for his contact information in case I needed some advice or help with military matters. Not that I don't take your advice gentlemen, but he's a bit more experienced, no offense."

After waiting for a few minutes and both commander and vice commander trying to rack their brains, of why the General had given her his number. A video call started to sound, pressing accept a screen showed up, and there he was. Dressed in his white military jacket with the several gold buttons the shone from the light in the smallish room, the white military hat showing the symbol of the EU army, the 10's of medals displaying from the left side of the jacket proving his years of service and the countless battles that he had been in.

He was an old man from what they could see, had to be in his early 60's, the white neat trimmed beard also showing how he had aged, The face the looked like a men having gone through fights and battles that would make young men cower in fear, a pair of fierce brown looking eyes that showed the ferocity that also displayed of the countless battles he had fought. A few rings that were on his fingers, one of them being a wedding ring and others just to display his wealth and power.

That was General Julias Merryfield, the one man who controls at least a quarter of the entire European Union army, someone who has fought countless battles between Britannia and The Chinese Federation. Velcris was no stranger to who he was, he too had fought him many times on many battlefields, but this time it was the first time seeing him face to face.

"Hello your Majesty, I must apologize for my rudeness, but someone calling me between 3 to 4 am is a bit of a stretch."

"I must be apologizing General, but I can assure you his matter is somewhat urgent, may I introduce you too of the commanding officers in my presence. On the right, we have Vice Commander Donald and on my left we have-"

"Commander Marcus Velcris, one of the five commanders of the Britannia Army and has fought in a number of battles." Interrupted the General, "I'd never thought this would be our first meeting face to face, I thought it would have been on the battlefield. And I'm terribly sorry your Majesty, sorry for my interruption." He apologized

Nunnally turned to Velcris, Velcris in turned looked and her and gave her a sigh, "My troops and the General's troops have fought a bunch of times over the battlefield, while we have never met face to face. We have on several occasions tried to draw one out, during to outsmart one another to get the other one to succumb to the better winning strategy, ain't that correct General?"

"Bahahaha, I agree, it was always a stalemate between us. I think the battle always ended up in draws or us being called somewhere else, neither of us being able to see who the better military mind was."

"Well I'm glad you two know well one another so well, but that can be saved for later discussions if you wish, however, General, it is not the matter I wanted to discuss with you. At this current time, there are three container ships, saying that they have supplies from the EU. The last time we spoke, I remember you clearly saying that "The EU would play no part unless Britannia came begging to us on hands and knees because it was there a problem to deal with." Nunnally said straightforward and in a manner in which a queen would speak

The general nodded, "Yes….that was somewhat correct, however, if I was freely speaking my mind, I would have sent aid as a sign of good faith so to speak. However, I do not know of any container ships being sent with equipment and other things to assist in this war against "Ares". And I would have known if a ship did leave, even if it was sincerely from the leaders of the EU. I don't trust the biggots if even they have our interests are for "best of Europe". I can safely say that you are being duped by someone from Ares's command."

Nunnally let out a sigh, "That you very much for you help General and sorry to disturb you from your sleep. Thank you very much for the information."

"I wish you good luck in the battle." The General tipped his hat with that the video call ended. Nunnally took a deep breath in and out, "Commander and Vice Commander, please bring up the PM on the screen." They both did so, bringing up an image of the PM, "Those container ships do not belong to the EU, I ask you PM to engage our forces against the enemy, they are not from the EU, Commander Velcris you are in command."

Velcris cleared his throat, "Ok PM, give them a chance to surrender. If not ask the first line to engage the ship with extreme caution."

"Yes commander."

"Alright everyone it's show time." Ohgi took a deep breath, "Bring the voice line up once more." A second or so later

"About time…so can we finally dock and get our supplies off before this war starts?"

"I'm sorry to inform you we will be not letting you dock here; we have confirmed with the EU that you and your ships are not part of the EU. Please identify yourself and your cargo that you are carrying, I repeat we have confirmation that you are not part of the EU." Ohgi stated as clear as he could

There was a minute or two of silence when Ohgi started to hear laughter coming through the voice channel, after a second or so, the communication channel changed from being audio only to an open video line. There Ohgi saw, several men and women all dressed in black, what looked like they were working on computers around on a ship's bridge. And there in the middle of all of it, sitting on what looked like a throne that had several steps up to it, was a man.

He could only be described as someone in his late thirties; he what looked like a captains hair, with a black visor blocking his eyes, only being able to see the laughing face of him. His uniform was not much different then what they had seeing Ares soldiers wear before, it was a black military jacket with several gold buttons, black pants as well as black boots. On each shoulder, there were tassels coming from it. "Man and here I thought we would have gotten away with it, I'd almost thought we had you guys there for a second. Please indulge me how did you figure out I was not part of the EU and part of Ares's crew. Were we to pushy? Or the fact that a nation had said that," they would never help Japan until the last second.""

"I don't know either, but if I were to assume her Majesty has some very high friends in the EU, as well as other individuals in the EU. So please surrender quietly and peacefully so no blood has to be shed on this day, members of the Britannia War Brigade."

"I'm afraid not Mr. PM, we have strict instructions from our great leader Ares, to give you a small taste of what's to come. And just to peak your curiosity of what we mean, let's give you an example…Behold our great weapons, Zeus!" The video line cut out, "All units prepare to for an attack, I want of ships to raise shields! Frontline Knightmare, Cornelia get ready for the counter-attack and then get ready to move your units forward…I wish you good luck your highness."

"Same to you Prime Minister." Cornelia cut off and Ohgi looked back to one of the main screens, on the display a few hundred units started to move forward. As Ohgi nervously began to watch the chaos to unfold something strange was starting to happen. "Focus on the middle container ship, the camera zoomed in. The crew on the ship as well as Ohgi looked in horror as the 300-meter container ship's deck started to come apart, "What the hell is that!" Ohgi start to watch the deck came apart and from it, a large cylinder shape started to appear form the middle of the ships hull. It almost looked like a magic trick of some sort. The cylinder shaped object was now in full view, it at least seemed 100 meters long, unable to tell how long it was or where it was connected to

Another screen popped up next to Ohgi, "What in god's name is that!" Nunnally said as the others watched from somewhere in Tokyo also shared the surprise, "Pust' mama rossiya pomozhet nam." Rafius

"Large energy signature detected Prime minster! It's going off the charts!" One of the addends said

"All units brace yourself! Tohdoh! Cornelia! Please get your men back here at one." All most straight away a few hundred Knightmares who had moved forward were now starting to retreat with great haste. The top of the cannon like object started top spin rapidly as the sky around it started to turn dark.

Without warning the cannon fired, a large buzzing sound ripped through the air like the sound the lightening ripping through the sky, everyone was blinded by a white light, showing the shadows of the battleships and the knightmares. Ohgi's ship shook, with the lights blinking on and off like through a thunderstorm, sparks started to emerge from some of the equipment, the ship rattled violently like it was going through a once in a lifetime storm.

After what felt like an eternity ended in only a matter of seconds, Ohgi and the crew regaining their composure, some had been rocked from there seats, sprawling them a few meters away from where they were just from. "Status report!" demanded Ohgi as he started to rub his eyes that had been blinded. One of the crew members got up, he looked at his equipment and then out the window.

"My god…heaven help us." He could only say, Ohgi blinked a few more times as he looked out the window, "My God…" he could only mutter. There was a large gaping hole of where a few thousand Knightmares at stood and one or two battle cruises where no more, the only thought that was running through his mind was his wife Violetta. She had part of the middle group, as part of the second line of defense, "NOOOOOOOO!" Ohgi screamed at the top of his lungs, giving everyone a fright, he quickly looked to his phone and scrambled to call his wife, however due to the interference he wasn't getting a signal.

"Bah-bah-bahhaha-bahaha-bahahah." The voice line that had been cut because of the surge of energy, finally started to come back again, "BAahahahahaha, what a wonderful display what was! Ares will be so pleased with it."

"YOU SON OF A BITCH! YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE" Ohgi roared, "Ohhh im sooooo scared PM. To bad we can't fire it over and over again, the thing takes an hour to charge the thing back to full again…however." He grinned from ear to ear, I have one more surprise for you, I wasn't called Epeius for nothing, now please do give us a bit of a fight." And with that, the communication cut, as the 4 other ships decks started to move as well…"

Warehouse District Tokyo bay

The entire warehouse shock, shocking all three of them who had been working to get everything ready. Lelouch held on to the F.L.E.I.J.A. making sure the lone one didn't fall out of his hands. He composed himself as he looked towards Jeremiah and Anya.

"Is everything ready?" asked Lelouch has he packed in carefully the F.L.E.I.J.A. warhead in another lot of padding, he didn't want it to get knocked during the transition and during the infiltration.

For the last few days the four of them had been prepping for their journey as well as doing the last lot of checks and planning. The planning had been the most crucial part of it all; Lelouch had racked his brain if plan A failed during at any time during the infiltration. C.C was going to be the star of the show so to speak, Lelouch had made such that she was ready for what tasks she had a hand.

As Lelouch moved to his Knightmare cockpit, using the cable to get up, he carefully placed the weapon on the side of his seat. "Right Jeremiah we leave in 5minutes, I'll go get C.C and bring her down, do the final checks and then activated the floor to the underwater passage.

"As you wish your highness. Anya, we are getting a ready to move, please get in the Knightmare to push the sub."

"Yes, Jerry!" Anaya said as she to did her final checks.

Hearing the confirmation he started to go up the stairs leading to were C.C supposedly was.

"So it looks like it as started.." said C.C as she looked up into the sky, she too had seen the bright white light and in a matter of second a few thousand troops had gone in an instant, evaporated upon the beaming moving through, she was currently wearing Lelouch Zero suit once more, the helmet dangling from her hand as her hair was carried by the wind as the after blast went through. She had been unfazed by the blast, the wind as picked up, almost blowing her away. She heard footsteps coming from behind her

"How annoying, this will be." C.C still stood there as a hand touched her shoulder, she touched it back, "So my dear, do you really think this plan will work? After seeing that weapon in action, even I think we would not be able to withstand, without having to be evaporated first into a billion pieces."

She turned to look at him with a worried look on her face, he was wearing his normal white outfit, the string that held in hat together. She had been adamant to leave his side, in case he did anything stupid. However, with a lot of perseverance and persuading she had finally agreed on this plan, she didn't mind her role. The only issue she had was that he would be running around like a lone wolf.

"If we follow my plan, there should be no issue with it, although I to for once felt something down my spine." C.C raised an eyebrow towards to her husband who had admitted that he too was worried, "Alright my dear we need to get going, it's crucial that we make it to that weapon undetected for as long as we can."

She look in her eyes, as she looked right at him, pressing her lips against his. It only being a small peck, before he realized it, "For good luck…and your safety…" she said, Lelouch stroked her face and then moved his fingers over the code symbol that was on her forehead.

"I'll be fine, you have nothing to worry about my dear…now do you remember everything I explained to you as well as what to do?" C.C shook her head in agreement, "Then there is nothing to worry about, either your safety or mine. Now, let us get that helmet on, because once you are in the sub, there won't be time or Jeremiah or Anya to help you." C.C handed him the helmet

"Yes, Lelouch." C.C let Lelouch put the Zero helm on her, making sure her hair was in the helmet . After that she followed behind Lelouch as they descended back down to where their Knightmares were waiting.

"Everyone stay calm, Tohdoh can you hear me, repeat can you hear me?" Shouted Commander Velcris, after the blast had passed, everyone was in disarray. The middle section of the units had been ripped apart, not a since the trace of a Knightmare remained after the blast. In short, they had all perished; communications had gone out of control and were only now starting to come back. Cornelia still hadn't responded, which caused Nunnally to start shedding tears, thinking she had lost another sibling due to war, which to her was too many.

"Your highness Cornelia please come in, PM, Tohdoh please come in." The tv screen still fuzzing in and out started to become a full image again, "H-Q-HQ-com-e-i-n-HQ" it was the sound of the women trying to speak, a few for seconds later Cornelia appeared

"Sister!" Nunnally shouted wiping her tears away, "Are you alright? Is everything ok?" Nunnally spoke with a worried and hasty tone in her voice.

"Im fine my dear sister, but I can't say much for the fleet, our numbers have been decimated, im still trying to get through to Tohdoh, but I think with all this blast its knocked out the communications. I don't know what that was, but it was effective and deadly."

"Please be careful your highness while we still sort out this mess, we don't know what else is coming but it seems to be soon." Everyone directed there gaze to another screen to which Rafius had pointed to, there they saw the other container ships starting to open there decks .

"I'll keep in touch sister, for the meantime I need to be off."

"Be careful sister."

Tohdoh has been able to communicate in, lines had been down for at least two to three minutes causing a complete blackout. Two cruises had been knocked up, only 6 remained, they had experienced nothing like that before. Knightmare pilots started to freak out, after witnessing the blast that had gone thought the middle of the group. Tohdoh and is commanding like ability got them back to reality. However several on his own soldiers were still missing and wife Chiba, Minami, Tamaki and Sugiyama had failed to radio in. Tohdoh was still hopeful that they were still alive, however the next surprise awaited them.

"What the hell are those?" exclaimed Ohgi has the camera zoomed in, the deck of the container ships had opened, both opening sideways, a few shapes had started to emerge from the hull of the ship. At first glance the looked like ordinary small fighter jets, however, that all changed when a more defining shape started to take shape as they began to transform.

The units were black, looking like a standard knightmare frame, however, there were a few different features compared to the normal ones, on the chest plate of the Knightmare it showed the symbol of Ares rebellion. The head of the Knightmare looked completely different, instead it looked like a fly's head, it had several large red glowing octangle shapes coming out from the head, what looked like two red wings flicking up and down quickly like a dragonfly, a one to two meter tail with what looked like a large stinger at the end of if, and the most interesting feature, was instead of normal shaped hands, it had five looking like claws instead of fingertips.

"Tohdoh, are you seeing what im seeing?!" the other container ship started to open and slowly the black Knightmares started to appear, in total there looked to be around two thousand units in total, "Yes Ohgi iam….i don't know what to say, I have never seen anything like that before."

"Ahhhh, so you wish to you what the are…well, I guess I might as well tell you." The video link opened again show the same person sitting down, "That is Ares's new favorite weapon! They are called Dragonflies, because as you can see they look a bit like dragonflies but they are a tad more deadly then the usual docile insects you find in the fields during spring and or summer. Well, I wish you all the best and please free to contact if you want to surrender, I don't think it will take long. Have fun now." The video link cut off leaver the staff and Ohgi speechless

"He expects us to surrender….well we are not going to let that happen, all units advance!" And with that with the remaining numbers, Tohdoh being the head of the defence speed off towards the container ships.

Tohdoh looked out of his cockpit window, 'They haven't moved yet….are they expecting us to come to them? and then take us out with whatever they have in store.', "All units holt, do not move forward, we still dont know what tricks they have." He barked out as soon as he said that is sensors started to go off, he looked out straight again and sore that the Knightmares starred to change, their bodies lying flat as their heads adjusting as well, moving nighty degrees as it looked them dead on. Their wings started to flicker a bit more intense as they charged towards him and his group of Knightmares.

Only three hundred out of the two thousand units started to charge towards them, Tohdoh and the rest of his surviving units moved up, "All units be careful of them we don't know what to expect from them and or their movements. Remember the training and practice, we are prepared to throw what they throw at us and we will throw back just as hard." Tohdoh eyed one of the new units and he charged towards it. He raised his blade swinging it diagonally, the unit transformed in a split second as it moved to deflect Tohdoh blade with the claws, there was a clanking noise, like metal hitting metal. He swung his blade a few more times, again the dragonfly unit blocked all his attacks with his own moves. Tohdoh quickly moved to the side the unit, hoping to take it off guard, he brought his blade down again. But before he could, the head swivelled, surprising Tohdoh as its eyes glowed red. Tohdoh ignored it and kept going. Just as he was about to reach his enemy, it raised its clawed hand deflecting it with ease.

Tohdoh quickly adjusted his stance, raising the sword above his head, bring it back down swiftly aiming for his head, the head moved and out of nowhere the unit, with the flap of the strange looking wings moved to the side all of a sudden. The unit moved, his hand attacking the exposed side of Tohdoh, "What?!" tohdoh exclaimed narrowly being able to block the oncoming attack. He moved his unit backward trying to figure out what just happened. It charged at Tohdoh swinging its clawed hands furiously, Tohdoh being able to meet all of its strikes. Tohdoh again moved his Knightmare back, raising the sword above his head, like a charging samurai would. He watched again as the eyes glowed on the odd shaped Knightmare.

"YEEEAARRRRGGGG" Tohdoh shouted as he charged at full speed at it, hoping to get a finishing blow on the advanced Knightmare unit, the enemy overlapped its claw-shaped hands, ready to block it. Tohdoh was only a few meters away when he brought the blade down in a swift motion. The enemy blocked the blade, the sound of metal screeched as the two metal objects collided. Tohdoh pushed down on the accelerator hard, trying to overpower the Knightmare with the extra momentum. Tohdoh could slowly see he was pushing the Knightmare back. The Knightmare's eyes glowed again, it started to push back, Tohdoh could feel the pushback as a few sensors started to go off. "He still pushing back? It shouldn't be able to do that. How strong are these new units!" As he continued to push the opposite direction.

Tohdoh continued to struggle with the Knightmare, pushing back and forth; he knew if he pulled his sword back, the claws would get him, causing serious damage to his frame and endangering his life. After thinking about the scenario over and over, it was going to have to take a risk. Tohdoh turned his hands on the hilt of the sward adjusting them slightly. The Knightmares eyes glowed again, "I get it now….when those eyes starting blinking it lets the pilot know that a movement is going to happen and therefore the pilot as enough warning to adjust his fighting position to then counterattack or move for that matter…there must be some kind of helper helping him for attack…how shameful using computers to help them fight, instead of using there wit and skill. Well here goes nothing. Tohdoh pushed the sword diagonally with all this strength, the sword followed through, making the enemies hand following the movement. When the Knightmare bodies exposed, in a following movement Tohdoh moved his sword elegantly, striking the Knightmares exposed body, a large crack was shown as sparks started to fly as simultaneously the Knightmare exploded, tohdoh raising his knightmares hand to project his cockpit from the explosion.

"Do all units repeat, they can be beaten, when their eyes glow there's a computer that's reading all our moves, meaning these pilots have limited skill, but still don't get so cocky when going against them. I have to admit, there might be some who are very good even without the computers help. We still don't know their full abilities."

He looked to his side, looking for his next fight. There only 20 meters away he saw another knightmare fighting, however this one was fighting a bit better, watching the knightmare moving, he moved the pattern. 'six strikes to the side and one left and right and then down the middle…Its Chiba!' Tohdoh rushed to aid his wife who was struggling.

Chiba bloked the knightmares attack, she noticed from the corner from her eye another knightmare started to charge towards her, taking her eyes off the enemy. By not paying attention the knightmares claw came down, Chiba looked in horror as she had forgotten the number one rule, never take your eyes off the enemy. However it stopped mid way, turning its attention to the knightmare currently charging towards him. It Raised its claws blacking the attack just in time as it recoiled a few meters back.

"Chiba are you alright!?" Noticing the voice a few tears started to come out, "Tohdoh your still alive!" she shouted over the communication line, she wanted to hug him but this wasn't the time not the place to do it. "My dear of course I am, and these units are beating able. Have to see the other?!" Tohdoh asked worriedly

"No…but knowing Tamaki hes properly already ejected out and is safe somewhere along the ocean." She heard a small laugh coming from her husband, "Yes I would think so, Sugiyama should be able to hold his own. Now my dear lets deal with this pesky one."

"Of course!" she turned her Knightmare facing the enemy, as again the eyes started to blink.

"Why. Wont. You. Die!" shouted Cornelia at the top of her lungs as she lunged with her lance towards the enemy Knightmare she was facing, however instead of blocking the attack it just zigged and zagged missing the attack entirely.

Another detachment had been sent after the first units engaged Tohdoh's unit, composed mostly of Britannia troops. After the initial blast she to had lost a large portion of her troops, she to almost lost her life in the blast, but she narrowly dodged it. She had contacted her sister first just to tell her she was ok, however, there were still some uncounted for, mainly from Tohdoh small group.

"To all un-s re-ea-t, th-ey c-an be be-a-en, w-en th-re eyes glow th-res a co-uter that's r-ding all our moves, m-ning these pilots have li-t-d skill, but still don't get so cocky when go-g against them. I have to admit, there might be s-me who are v-ry good even without the c-puters help. We still don't know there full abilities."

"Well I guess he is still alive then which is good to know, but this dam radio-." Cornelia's knightmare jolted to one side, without paying attention the enemy she was facing and been able to get a swipe in. Wires now exposed from the left arm. As she tried to move the arm, it would only move a little. Cornelia growled as she changed the position of her lance, instead of the normal position she was in, she changed it. Not wanting to expose her arm , she moved the hand's position on the lance, the left hand was now at the bottom while the right was at the very top where the deadly part of where the weapon took shape.

The knightmare that she was facing, started to blink again, "That means he's trying to read my moves…i'll show it that no computer can beat me, not in a million years!" Cornelia charged again, moving her lance in all different positions, trying to store a hit, but even then the knightmare, just like a leaf in the breeze dodged them. And every time she got close, the clawed hand would knick back the lance, and then try to strike Cornelia. She had to quickly move back, just so she could get her lance straight again.

The enemy unit knightmare known as the Dragonfly, flew straight towards her, Cornelia braced her self-raising the lance once again. She lunged at him, the knightmare deflected it by using its claw; it then started swinging at a ridicules rate, looking like it wanted to finish the fight quickly. She knocked them back, but it still kept coming. The eyes glowed once again, Cornelia clicked her tongue and she tried to think of something else to get it off guard.

The only thing she had was the standard automatic weapon that was sitting at the hilt, "I hope this works…all its unprofessional of me." With lance in one hand, the left hand one grabbed the gun, she charged towards the unit, its eyes blinked, again watching her movement. She pressed down two buttons which summoned her slash harkens, being only a few meters away, she hoped it would hit the unit. As the harkens came close to the target, the knightmare raised its claws about to deflect both of them. Cornelia fired the assault rifle, like a rainstorm the bullets hit the chest of the knightmare catching it off guard. Cornelia grinned as it moved over to the left side trying to dodge the bullets, the right harken slash missed, however, the left one caught its arm, "Yes! Got him!" She shouted to her self, as it reeled her target in, she threw her lance before the knightmare could cut the wire of the harken slasher. The Lance impaled the unit's chest, sparks started to fly, as the unit eventually blew up, it falling into the ocean.

"Phew…" Cornelia took a breath as she readjusted her chair, "Don't you dare get in the way of the Goddess of VICTORY. Gilford how are you doing there?" She asked, she turned to her right, only to see him dispatch his enemy he was facing.

"Its going ok your highness, it's a bit hard fighting with one eye. But I should be ok."

"Don't strain yourself to much Gilford, you will still be needed in the later battles, if its getting to tough then retreat, I will not be ashamed if you do so ."

"Thank you for your words, your highness, but I am able to go on."

Kallen was watching the battle from outside a base, that had been created for the time being, after the first blast of the cannon, Kallen had shouted and made her point to go and help fight the enemy, however, the people leading this operation said no. They had argued the point that they wanted to see all of Ares forces, being letting herself, Suzaku and Gino go out. They were going to be the ones in deciding the battle at hand, with there knowledge and their Knightmares they would be the ones to decide the outcome.

However Kallen hadn't agreed with that and before they could explain there reasoning she had walked out in a huff leaving the two boys behind, to deal with them. She hated politics and people who would use there strength. She out of all the women piloting knightmares she was the most capable one.

'Lelouch, what would do you in this situation?' She pondered to herself, 'Would you listen to reason or would you follow your heart and believes. If anything you would listen to what you would think be right.' She turned to her Knightmare that just stood there motionless, she walked over to it and started to climb it, her heart was telling to ignore everything and go help fight. She hoped on top of the cockpit window looking out to the battle. She saw the knightmares the falling cockpits blasting backward as they tried to escape their deadly fate. She was sure that they were losing, even though Tohdoh and said that the units were beatable, but for the ones that had never seen battle before and only fought in mock, was an issue for them. They had numbers but they didn't have skill, unlike the senior members.

"im the same ya know, we should be out there helping them instead of sitting back here." Gino had arrived leaning against Kallen's knightmare, "It would rack me up a few more medals as well, maybe I'll get some more time off after this."

"I thought you cared about saving the world, rather than for the glory?" Kallen said pessimistically, "Ohh, i am. Have you ever heard of the trope of "saving the world and then getting the girl and then they living happily ever after?"" He looked in Kallen's direction.

"All you'll get from me is a punch in your stomach and wishing you had never tried those "honey" words on me. Im sure there's another "maiden" that would join you for your "status" and your "money" But that stuff won't work on me."

"I would never try that on you, I would having a better luck with my charm or even saving you so you would fall in love with you…because I am in love with you." Kallen's face went bright red, her eyebrow twitching hearing the words he had just said, her anger started to boil. "No comeback? No snarky comment? No shouting? Does that mean-."

"Run…" Gino looked up, aside from Kallen's bright red hair she was red in the face, "So you do have some feelings fo-" Kallen slammed her fist on her knightmare, "YOU BETTER GET OUT OF MY SIGHT BEFORE I KILL YOUUUU BASTARD." Kallen sprinted out of her sitting position and charged towards Gino as she jumped down, Gion ran as quick as he could, "YOU BETTER LEAVE THE COUNTRY OTHERWISE YOU BE GOING HOME IN A BOX!" Gion only a few paces in front of her, "That is if you can catch me! I'm so happy that you have at least some feelings for me!" he shouted at the top of his lungs,' I'm going to kill him, I'm going to skin him alive from limb from limb, until there is nothing left of him except for his bones and like a witch I'll boil them to nothingness.'

As Kallen chased Gino around the base, Suzaku came out hearing the noises from the bay area, he saw Gino laughing as he was being chased by a ticked off and red-faced Kallen, he sighed, knowing that again Gino had said something to Kallen to whine her up just before an important battle. "Oi, oi Suzaku! Guess what?"

"What Gino, and I'm not saving you this time around, whatever mess you have gotten your self into, I am not going to help you, sometimes you need to fight your own battles."

"No, no, no its not that, I told Kallen I loved her and she said nothing and now she's all red-faced, I think I have a chance buddy!" Gino skipped a few steps before going back to running again, "I am not red-faced! I hate you, I absolutely hate you and I am red-faced, from chasing you and trying to kill you!"

Suzaku sighed, "We are going into battle! Both you get ready, wheels up in five minutes, we have war to win!"
