A/N: man re-watching the anime is so…Frustrating! And totally bored (I'm totally bored already, just searching which episode was it) not that I hate watching Code Geass, no, that's not it. It just that, when you're watching again, the scenes that you already know isn't that kinda great anymore, since you already know what happen (believe me, last episode and I re-watch it again, didn't help). And when you're working/writing the dialogue of each character is hard to hear since sometimes the Subtitles/Close Captions (you know the cc button on YouTube, on every video?) has the word cut out wrong. So I need really need to hear it clearly (and my siblings aren't helping me). But anyways it was my problem and not yours I just let it out of my system before I try destroying the computer. Anyway this is what chapter (checking my manage stories…) CHAPTER 20 ALREADY (wait minute…I made a rhyme yippee) WOW IS THAT LONG?! I mean this is my first fanfiction for God Sakes. And whenever I read some first time fanfiction, it doesn't even complete yet or it was a dead fic (abandoned story or incomplete). So now that I'm already chapter 20 it's an achievement! I'M SO HAPPY THAT I WANT TO GO TO THE MALL! (Wait a second…If I did that, then no chapter 20…) no I won't go to the mall today (maybe tomorrow instead). I'm very thankful to the every person, man and woman, cat or dog, and even aliens (if they read this) that still continue and still supporting my first ever (I didn't create another account if that what you're saying) fanfiction. It was because of you guys that made this happen, not me, I'm just a simple Filipino high school boy who only wanted to share his dedication to his favorite anime of all times and that he only wanted to have another hobby (which once again, true). So thank you so much guys, and don't worry when the 'Operation Overlord' is done I'm going to revive the (ahem drum roll please)…SHOUT-OUTS! Since I discontinued it on chapter (once again checking my mange stories)…chapter 7. So I could personally say thank you the men and women that still follow my fic. And since this is yet another 10 chapters (probably the fastest one, since I made it a week or two) I'm going to ask a question and yes it is related to the story and no it doesn't involve personal matters (I'm not that kind of guy). So yeah once again thank you so much (how many times did I say that?).
As you can see, the last chapter there wasn't the Lancelot and the Guren battle, and there wasn't any fight between the Lamorak and the Gekka, and there weren't any scenes or mention for the battle of Raven Squad and the Four Holy Sword. Well I' here to make the claims stop, since today is the day. On this day (December 28, 2016) the battle you all have been waiting for….starts here! So seat back and read this special Chapter for my twentieth chapter. And also BTW guys I'm still using the Alternating POV technique (every line break, there is a switch between characters) and it starts off with the Raven Squad right after they were told to suit up on chapter 18.
And since this is my special twentieth chapter, I will also add the one and only…WORD HUNT! This special segment on every chapter that I only created on the start of 'Operation Overlord' will be now on every chapter even if the 'Operation Overlord' is over! So which means keep your eyes peeled from now on, and hunt the words (I'm going to make that as a slogan from now on). The answer for the word hunt (not your love life) is on the Author's note down below.
Thank you for the reviews you've sent me! And I almost forgot…special thank you to every person out there (wherever you are or whoever you are) I just wanted to say MARAMING SALAMAT PO! (Translations 'thank you very much!)
Disclaimer I don't own Code Geass and its characters
Also a Disclaimer, I don't own in anyway the OC's of Shimmering-Sky for her OC S.S and for Ebony sword for his/her OC of the full members of Raven Squad. But I do own my personal OC and that is the Francis and Gwendolyn Xavier.
So without further ado chapter 20 of Code Geass: Black & White.
Chapter 20: End Game.
The members of the Raven Squad right after they were told to suit-up after the introductions of S.S and the name of their squad did what they were told. And now they were putting up the uniforms and suits they were gonna use for their upcoming battle (if ever they were going to be deployed). At the moment there were a heavy tension inside the dressing room, the Britannians stayed away from the Honorary Britannia and they the Honorary Britannian also stayed away from the three Britannians. Phoebe saw this and as the Squadron Leader of the group she needs her team to be combat-ready and that they can cooperate on each other. So what better way to that then a nice conversation?
"So…how do you like being a part of the Raven Squad so far?" she asked the entire squad since all of them was now wearing their respective uniforms and they have nothing to do than just wait.
"Uhmm…it's kinda a cool I guess?" said Jordan honestly this person right here was friendly guy and quite shy (don't you think?) honestly she was starting to wonder into how in the hell this guy finish two tours in Europe!
"Okay, Uhmm what about you Hunter?" she said to the second to the oldest man in the room and when she saw his grinning face she knew she was going to regret that.
"It's so awesome. I mean look at these threads! It so cool and I hear that they were giving us some customized Gloucester how cool is that…" Hunter even though he was 24 year old adult still act like a kid, so she just spaced out and turned to the Honorary Britannians in the room.
"What about you guys? What do you think being a part of the Raven Squad?" she said to the two honorary Britannians inside the room, the first one who answer was Aarav.
"Well miss Phoebe…" he started in which she cut off with 'Just Phoebe' "Right, Uhmm well it looks like you and so is everyone else are kinda nice towards us numbers since our superiors wasn't that kind like you did" he stated in which he truly earned the name friendly giant for sure. It caught the attention from Hunter, who was having a chat with Jordan and approach the tallest member on the Squad, and slings his other arm to him and said.
"Don't worry big fella me and Jordan going to stick to the end with you that's for sure. And don't you worry since I'm not with the same 'The strong triumphs and weak cast aside' B***s***"" and all Aarav and Jordan can do was to laugh along with him. But Esperanza didn't answer her question.
"What about you Esperanza? Surely you have something to say on our team?" she said gently since she doesn't want to get to her bad side, but apparently she was on her bad side.
"Why do you care?" she said, even if she was smallest person in the room, she kinda felt she was since this girl takes pride and she understand that.
"I'm just having a talk that's all" she said to the Mexican-Honorary Britannian, in which she snickered and said with much pride.
"Yeah right, you've just wanted to know us better. But you didn't even know what we've been through" Esperanza said now her back facing her. But Phoebe does know, since she was too getting on the same tragic past.
"You're wrong" she started and all of the members now are staring at her. "I too have some tragic past" she said while tearing up. "I'm an orphaned, I didn't know who was my family is, and when I talk to the Nuns who take care of me they only tell that they didn't even know who even brought me there. And you think it stop there, the orphanage were I was staying was struck down by a terrorist attack; I was the only one who manage to survive. I survive being street rat, I steal, scavenge, and sometimes eat some garbage just to survive and I was only eight at the time, for 7 years I become a street rat, no home, no dress and no family to go with. Until, Sir Francis came along and took me in. He and I started to attend the military since no one would actually apply a bunch of 15 year old kids. And we were the fastest one to graduate and already at the same age we have our first battle. So I tell you this, I also came what you've been through maybe much more than what you've been" she said while the tears now flowing on her face, and it was dead silence right after that. In which Esperanza fixed when she approach her and said.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't say those mean things to you" she said while her head hang low. In which she responded "I forgive you" and that made her face lit up and added "Only if give you a hug!" and before Esperanza can even deny she was already on top of her and it doesn't take long before Hunter says
"Group Hug!" and every one plummeted to the floor and squishing the smallest person in the room, they stay like that until S.S arrive on the door step of the dressing room inside the Knight of Two's Trailer and she said to them with a smile. Only when they saw her they stand up and stood in attention.
"Get ready, since we are now going to be deployed" in which they answered
'Yes My Lord!'
So right now Phoebe and the rest of her Squad Mates are here outside of the trailer and waiting for Sir Francis for their mission. In which didn't last long since he arrived a moment right after her musing.
"I'll be going to make this short .Our mission for today is to protect her Highness Cornelia and to assist her royal guards against the Four Holy Sword. This would be our first mission so make me proud" in which they answered 'Yes My Lord' and told to suit up.
Right after they started running the diagnostic on every single Black Gloucester, they saw the Lancelot starting up and so did the Lamorak in which wasn't on a catapult since it doesn't need one. After the countdown reaches Zero they said in Unison. Their Knightmares was equip with sand panels to climb liquefied sloping max combat speed (in other words hiking boots for the Knightmares).
"Lancelot…Launch"
"Lamorak…Launch"
"Raven Squad…Launch"
With Tohdoh who was now preparing for their fight with their custom made Burais is now also being activated will attack Cornelia from behind. The truck they were using was in auto-pilot (Actually they just put a lock in the steering wheel to continue driving). And the Miracle Worker said to his comrades.
"All units are you ready?" he asked every member to his Four Holy Sword in which they answered with a load chorus of 'Hai' and with so he added "Deploy the Custom Burais" in which they answered 'Deployed' and now he consulted his Four Holy Swords "Alright the avalanche was clearly man-made making the Princess isolated. It should allow us hit Cornelia from behind. Capture Cornelia now, takes the revenge for what happen seven years ago" and all of them responded in unison.
"Yes sir, by the honor of the Four Holy Swords!"
With Cornelia in which she was being isolated at the moment, and shouting orders onto what the hell happen and ordering the status report of their forces. In which either they responded with the answer that 'The black knights are attacking their retreating forces' or 'they don't know what is the exact damage and loss of their forces'. Luckily her brother Lelouch already retreated back the injured and the fallen soldiers, since like her he too know a lost battle when he saw one, and right now they were losing even though she doesn't want to accept the fact. And to add more salt on their injuries, her map and fact sphere sensor detected an enemy coming from behind. In which she nearly survived if it wasn't because of her instinct and a lot of piloting experience she dodged. But the Sutherland protecting her wasn't so lucky. The one who was attacking them was white Burais with some kind a sword that was glowing bright orange and it looks like a samurai sword by the looks of it. And the fact that it wasn't colored black indicating it wasn't the black knights (they needed to color their Burais since they don't want a friendly fire after all) so that only means one thing…
"The Japan Liberation Front?" questioned Cornelia.
Back to Tohdoh who was now got his first kill by Jumping to the nearest Sutherland and killing the pilot with his revolving chainsaw sword and because of his experience as a soldier in the past and a master of hand-to-hand combat, and his mastery in the art of swords, and the fact that he was a strategist it was easy to kill one by one the Sutherlands who was protecting Cornelia, they didn't even bother deflecting or parried his attack. Right after that they made some of their signature moves like this one.
"Slash and encircle!" and his Four Holy Sword did what he told, if you're wondering what is that then I'll tell you. The slash and encircle is rather easy part one will attack an enemy and the others will encircle the remaining enemy to ensure that they won't escape or either help the fallen comrade. If done properly then they can win with no scratch at all. The Britannians must be thinking it was just Burais they can handle it so Tohdoh informed them (but mostly us since they can't hear them)
"This isn't any other Burai" he commented.
"This reminds me of seven years ago" started Asahina started with Chiba finishing the last part "But this time it is different now. This time we have Knightmares as well"
To Cornelia the attack of the JLF can only be said well played. The formation they were using was truly hard to master and yet it seems that it was so easy for them to do. She can only stand and watch to see her 6 (IDK if it was 6, 7, or any other number of Knightmare okay) get decimated by the man she now knew was Tohdoh the Miracle Worker. She was so stunned that she was nearly been stabbed if it wasn't for her Knight Guilford deflected the impeding sword coming right at her. Only then she came out of her trance. And now she can clearly heard her Knight Guilford saying something to her
"Princess, you have to withdraw for now!" he said while battling the white Burai. In which she knew that it was too dangerous in here all she could do is hope that for her brother send some reinforcement to at least turn the tables around, because if anyone can't do it, then he can.
"Very well, I know my way to turn this around. Guilford!" she told his name and when she gets his attention she added "After you drives them back. Meet me over at point nine" she knows that was she was being too overconfident to her Knights but if she wanted him to survive she needs to be an optimist from now. and the point nine was not so far and it was over the cliff so it would be in Britannian side.
"Nine? I understand" and right after that she leaves it all to him, before she would be destroyed by the JLF soldiers, but before she leaves she takes out two Burais as a souvenir.
Weaklings
At the moment Zero was pinned down by Gun fire by some Sutherlands, and he was starting to regret for Kallen and Rai to be here when you need them since he ordered them to help the others. And the downfall of that was the he wasn't so skilled in a Knightmare frame, and so did the man who was protecting him. He wasn't the only who is sharing the opinion since the man said to him.
"Maybe we should call Kallen over here" in which he answered.
"No, if we break formation now. Then our plan would be ruined" weather he like it or not he must hold his ground until Tohdoh arrives. It doesn't take long when Kallen spoke to him.
"Zero, Cornelia is being attack down below"
Finally, now then…with the JLF distracting her Knight and her royal Guard we can now attack her. I hope Lulu send his Knights since the next turn would be our Knights battle.
In the JLF base they regain hope once more when the face of Tohdoh appeared on the monitor and it did make their morale goes up especially Katase.
"I'm sorry for the late arrival General" he said on the screens (wait how did he manage to fight and call at the same time?)
"Tohdoh we've been waiting" and wait they did, it was an hour now after the battle begins after all.
"General, please send all of the remaining units to join me here" Tohdoh requested, Katase wanted to do so…but.
"Can you beat them?" he questioned since he wasn't like Kusakabe that attack willing-Neely, no he needs to know if the men he would send can return back.
"Yes, but only if we can off their main force, we have a chance now to turn this entire thing war around" and that was depressing, but oh well there was a saying 'When life gives you lemon, make lemonade'.
So all he could do was to nod and hope for the best. And with that all of the remaining units and artillery rained down from the mountain and attack the Britannians once more.
To General Darlton that was one who was the first to experience in the rapid overwhelming return fire of the JLF and the artillery fire it irked him so. So he could do one thing.
"Fall back! We have to find a way to link up with Viceroy Cornelia!" in which his soldiers complained that the base was right in front of them and added if they retreat they can be attack from behind. "You fool, if Princess Cornelia taken by these elevens then this entire battle is lost" and because of it all they could to man-up and agreed.
Back to Lelouch who was now seeing that the Britannian is losing he has no other choice but to deploy Suzaku and Francis and his personal squad. It was turning hazy if they won't deploy now and the girls behind him also fearing the loss of the men and women in the battle. But when he saw the blip of the 7 blue that is moving so fast then all he could do was to grin.
Right, the next turn would be the battle of our each knight and I hope it proves to be entertaining.
So all he could do was to grin maniacally that it didn't go un-noticed by the people inside the G-1.
"My-my Lord?" some said fearing for his smile.
"Big brother?" he heard Euphy.
"Lulu what's wrong?" lastly Shirley. In which he finally answered with a cold tone.
"Nothing's wrong. The next battle would be the deciding one, and I have a feeling it would turn as far entertaining" Lelouch said while the grin never leaves his face.
Third Persons View:
At the moment there would be two battles one was the battle of the Four Holy Sword and Cornelia's new royal Guard. And the battle with Cornelia being trapped with the Guren and the Gekka, in which she didn't know until it was too late, so now she was cornered with two Knightmares right in front of her. To Guilford he failed since the plan of her princess failed in encircling Tohdoh from behind. And for Zero it would soon be a battle to watch for, so that is why he and the rest of the remaining Black Knights were currently en route to reach Cornelia before Lancelot does. And they did but the battle already begun.
Cornelia was being attack from the Guren and the Gekka simultaneously. If she dodges the attack from Kallen by jumping in the air and using the cliff as a wall to hold on she would get hit by the handgun from the Gekka. When she lands the Gekka charged at her once more before she could even dodge she was hit from behind by none other than Zero and his black knights making her left arm destroyed and dropping the Knightmare rifle. And it doesn't end well for the remaining Britannian forces since they were now ejecting from the JLF return fire and/or because of the artillery fire, but none of them was not so much lucky than Guilford who is now surrounded by the JLF who is one by one attacking him, like a prey if he move the other will attack him from behind. It was all in all a lost for the Britannia that day, Cornelia spoke to Guilford before being captured/died by Zero.
"Guilford, you and Darlton protect Euphy. And serve Lelouch." Even if Guilford would protest her, she continued "I won't surrender as imperial Princess I'll fight to the last!" she proclaimed and it truly shocked her Knight. So activating her Knightmare once more she fired her slash harken to one of the Burais and got lucky by actually hitting it and making it to eject the said Burai. But before she could fire yet another slash harken she was hit next to her right arm now dropping the golden lance was using. It was kind a pity to see her like this, after being hit in the arms they hit her legs or joints making her kneel. It was a sign, right after she kneel all every Sutherlands who was fighting before either ejected or destroyed. The pilots who did ejected either killed mercilessly by the Gunfire or the Artillery fire since it was the chance of the JLF to take revenge, and they didn't care about if they surrendered or not. The screams of agony and perish reaches to every part of the mountain. Sir Guilford was now surrounded and his energy fillers were running low. In the G-1 the officers take-off their hat to give honor for the men and women who died, princess Euphy was now tearing up since she learned that her sister was going to die, Shirley tried to comfort her but grasping her shoulder and hugging her in which she accepted greatly since she needs it. While Lelouch kept his pensive face and thought repeatedly.
Come on Suzaku…Be there in time!
In Zero cockpits if he doesn't finish this then all of his façade will fall, even though it wasn't part of the plan. If they wanted to stick to the plan they needed to keep up with the act of them being Zero and a prince, and if he won't finish it then everything will collapsed. So he could only though one thing
I'm sorry Euphy. I'll make it up to you someday.
With his mind made up he radioed Kallen.
"Kallen…finish it" Zero said in a commanding tone since he need to keep up with the act but with a tint of despair and all he could do was to have his head hang low.
"With pleasure" and because of it the Guren charges to the kneeling Gloucester, and inside of the said Gloucester, the Princess has her eyes closed actually prepared for the death blow and all she could is to whisper the names of her loved ones 'Lelouch take care for Nunnally and Euphy for me' .The right arm that was also the main weapon of the Guren that also hold the Radiant Wave Surger to instantly kill an enemy was slowly approaching the Gloucester to put an end for her misery , but right before the tip of the blade connects to the armor of the downed Gloucester it was hit by a slash harken making the arm lost control and missed entirely the target. Also making the Guren lost balance and fall, when they the harken retracted to its owner, the wall of the cliff suddenly opened up and it appeared the White Knight, once it was cleared the Lancelot jumps towards the downed Gloucester. And it brings hope back to both Lelouch once more and thought in the same time.
Glad he made it
So if the Lancelot wasn't the Harken belongs to, then who was? After the cliff was opened up the Knightmare from before also jumped and landed directly at the front of the Viceroy's Knightmare and brandishing the two MVS. When the dust settles, they can see clearly the newcomers and when they saw they stood agape, especially the Kallen and Rai. The words they were saying right now was…
"Wait a minute, there are two of them?!"
"The white Knightmare again that appeared in Shinjuku and Lake Kawaguchi!"
"Who's the other one?!" in which the pilot gladly answer.
Standing before them was the X-02 Lamorak, and the pilot of it gladly answered through the speakers.
"My name is Sir Francis Xavier second Knight of the Round. Surrender now…" he stated and making an 'X' stance "Or face my blade" Francis said tauntingly. And to keep with the act Zero cursed from misfortune and said to them.
"A Knight of the Round., Here of all times?!" Zero cursed, but the inside he was grinning in joy for having actually to be faced with the newcomer. He wasn't the only though that was cursing. Right before Sir Guilford suffers the same fate he was protected by five new black Gloucester.
The newcomers were the Raven Squad with their customized Black Gloucester.
Alternating POV:
Once they were launched, Phoebe and the rest doesn't stop and quickly follow Francis since he was the fastest among the Group during at the time he radioed everyone.
"All right listen up, Princess Cornelia is pinned down on point-nine, you won't be able to get there in time. So I and Major Kururugi will be the one to save her, while you Phoebe and the Rest protect the remaining the Units especially Sir Guilford in point-11 is that understood?" Francis questioned and all of them answered in unison.
"Yes My Lord"
Once they did arrive it was 10 against one and the one Knightmare standing was Sir Guilford Gloucester and he just lost his left arm making the lance and his harkens his only weapons compared to 5 Knightmares that has revolving blade sword and 5 with Knightmare rifles, a Burai wanted to kill the out-numbered Knightmare only for Phoebe to jump out of nowhere and deflected the revolving blade sword, once it connects she pushes it away making an opening for her to impale the Burais instantly killing it. Right after that the others stormed out of the forest and pierced every single Burais before they could return fire; they zigzagged their way through all of them just to dodge the bullets firing at them. Once they were closed enough they will pierce their lance to the opposing Knightmare killing them only the four holy Swords manage to survived and when the firing stop she Radioed Sir Guilford.
"Sir Guilford? This is Major Phoebe Vipond of the personal Squad of the Knight of Two; Raven Squad" she said to their private frequency. In which he asked.
"Raven Squad?...you mean from Sir Francis?" Guilford asked her in which now answered by Jordan.
"Yes we are my Lord. We were dispatch by Prince Lelouch to protect the remaining units and you were the closest one" Jordan stated.
Sir Guilford stayed silent for a moment seemingly pondering this and responded "I see, what about Princess Cornelia? Is she alright?" now Aarav the one who answered.
"The Knight of Two and the Lancelot is going there as we speak, my Lord" and it didn't go unnoticed by sir Guilford for having an Honorary Britannia in a Knightmare frame and part of a Squad as well.
"An honorary Britannian?" and because of it Esperanza spoke up.
"Yeah so what?" before they started a fight she advise sir Guilford to leave immediately while they cover him. "I see, Very well I'll leave this fight in your capable hands major" he said before leaving, after he leaves they've turn their attention to the five Burais standing in front of them.
"Well this could be fun" they've heard Hunter while cracking his knuckles. And they couldn't agree more.
Back to Zero in order to keep up with the act he open fired against The Lamorak only to be deflected by the Blaze Luminous. So he ordered Kallen and Rai.
"Kallen take care of that white Knightmare it interfered with us long enough. Rai destroyed that black Knightmare I want both of them dead!" he shouted in which he receives from Kallen and Rai a chorus of 'Right or Hai' so the Guren charge at the Lancelot from behind and the Gekka in the front.
"Kururugi take care of that red Knightmare, I'll deal with the blue one" Francis stated on the radio and Suzaku followed. The Lancelot fired his V.A.R.I.S rifle at the Guren only which to dodge everything since it wasn't that fast and when the Guren was close enough to use the Radiant wave he kicked the Guren the face only to be grabbed by the Guren and destroyed the sand panels that was on the feet of the Lancelot.
Third Persons View (again):
For the Lamorak he charged also against the Gekka and the Gekka too also charged right at him, when he was closed enough he sliced the Gekka at the top only for it to duck and spin kick him in return that he easily deflected by his arms. Once the Gekka completed its kick he fired his hand gun only for the Lamorak to charge directly at him side-stepping the bullet through him and when he was at him he used Suzaku's signature spin kick too hitting the head of the Knightmare.
Cornelia doesn't wanted to stop fighting so with no arms or any other weapons she still fight with her Slash Harken and attack Zero with it only to be missed entirely. Zero hasn't have the times for this charade so he they back for that.
To finish the battle with Lancelot with his left arm brandishing the MVS he pushed back the Guren by firing the V.A.R.I.S at her. But it was fast enough to once again dodge everything he fired at her, When the Guren was far enough, it charges once more to him. Since the Guren was coming so fast with no other choice the Lancelot throw at her his another Sand panel (seriously though why? You do that) only to be deflected by the Guren's arm. The Guren jumped high enough to be behind on the Lancelot to strike from behind only for the Lancelot dodge it by actually performing a Human move, leaning back to let your arms touch the ground and push yourself upwards by it. And once he was mid-air he uses the Slash harken to be retracted back to the Ground. Once landing he fired his slash harkens at her only to be destroyed completely by the radiant wave. They stayed like this, dodging every move and parrying each other's swords or blade until the Guren manages to stop the MVS from actually hitting her, but she doesn't know that she was at the end of the cliff…But the Lancelot does so he let go of the MVS and fired his V.A.R.I.S at her making her fall and defeated.
Back again to Gekka and against the Lamorak Rai was thinking he's fast since he practically dodges every single attack coming to him. But I'm faster thought Rai and now he used his left arm to extend and grabbed him only for the Lamorak to perform a back flip in which he fired his Hand gun at him actually hitting him on the chest. The same could be said for Francis he was thinking the same thing He's good´ after successfully hitting him he charged at him and uses his right MVS to slice him, to be deflected of course. But I'm better he already expecting that so he spin once more and to give him some space and once the spin completed he already change the MVS with his V.A.R.I.S and fired at him actually hitting his left arm now incapable in using the Radiant Wave. But wasn't enough to kill him. So with that in mind he thought 'enough of this Childish Nuisance I'm going to finish this once and for all! So he activated his Geass the power of the Absolute Mimicry, after using and remembering the memory he gotten it made him have a migraine, but he knew that he can do what the memory told him.
The first move he did was to fire both of his wrists mounted Slash Harken only to be dodged by the Gekka, but he was counting for it. So when it connects to the wall of the cliff he pulls himself towards it. And the Gekka side step for the impeding attack of the Lamorak, once he was actually on the wall he used the momentum to once again jumped back at the Gekka and at the same time he fired his V.A.R.I.S at him only to be dodge of course, but didn't I say he jumped? So when landing he was close enough to make a side-kick to the left crown of the Gekka damaging the head of it. It backs away from him since he was going the deliver the finish blow.
Zero saw that his forces was being decimated, the Guren and the Gekka has lost the capability to use the Radiant Wave, but he did manage to accomplish the plan and that was to defeat Cornelia and losing the 80% of the forces it was a win for his books so he radioed his black Knights "Retreat! All black Knights move to your escape points. This becomes a war of Attrition, Retreat! "And so they did, The Gekka uses his chaff smoke to cover his retreat before he was a goner from the Lamorak. The Lancelot wanted to pursuit Zero but was cut off by Francis who was at the time came before Cornelia once he learned that the black Knights are retreating.
"No, we must get Princess Cornelia to her safety first and the survivors" stated Francis while helping the Viceroy Cornelia's Gloucester. Suzaku wanted to protest but "Zero will be dealt with later, the safety of her highness is our first priority major Kururugi" Francis stated with a snarled, their arguments only stop when Cornelia spoke.
"Sir Francis right, let's tend the wounded first and we deal with Zero later. Right now bring me back to G-1" in which they both answered 'Yes your highness'.
Back to the Raven Squad every single battle once a draw, the four holy swords. They can't even manage to land a hit before them. Every single attack they want like piercing, spin kick, rifle fire and rocket fire was either dodge or deflected. It was becoming Attrition for the both of them, the longest one who can survive wins. Phoebe can feel the heat before her and it starting to wear her down. She lunges her lance once more to Tohdoh Burai and once again deflected by the Chainsaw sword.
I can't lose. I need to win, I can't lose…
Phoebe thought while panting heavily she can clearly saw what the others was doing, Jordan manages to deflect every hit from his opponent, Hunter was good since he was able to hit the left arm of a Burai, Aarav was neutral he will change to Lance and rifle every time he was charging or backing, Esperanza wasn't so lucky as an expert in long-range she mostly keep distance in doing so losing her lance. It only stops when the radio stated from the G-1
"This Prince Lelouch vi Britannia Eleventh prince of Britannia, Sixteenth in line of the Imperial Throne and Minister of Defense of Area Eleven, to order everyone to Retreat! Every injured men and women is to meet at your designated escape points and stay formation "And with that she grits her teeth and ordered her Squad.
"All forces retreat!" and they back away slowly to see if the JLF will attack them in which they don't and they back away slowly to the G-1 base.
For the black knights they were cheering from victory and all of them was glad that only few died that day. Zero too was glad since he doesn't have to carry C.C to a cave once more like the other timeline. They were chanting his name when he arrives and it was soothing on his ear.
"Zero"
"Zero"

"Zero"
Lelouch's POV:
They lost over a thousand men that day, and it starting to get worse by the minute he didn't walk an inch outside of the G-1 until he see Clearly the downed Gloucester of his sister, when Euphy saw this she ran after her outside of the G-1 through to her, since she was here he could begin the retreat.
"This Prince Lelouch vi Britannia Eleventh prince of Britannia, Sixteenth in line of the Imperial Throne and Minister of Defense of Area Eleven, to order everyone to Retreat! Every injured men and women is to meet at your designated escape points and stay formation "
Right after that he turned to Shirley and said to her.
"Right do you want to see your father?" he asked nicely. In which she nods, he would lead the way before he would return back to the G-1 for the brief and status report.
Some say we lose, either said we won. Humph the truth is no one ever wins a war. That was the fact I needed to learn years ago. They only bring pain, suffering and despair to everyone, A win is the one you can say if you actually beaten your opponent. A lost is when your forces either decimated or the commander is dead….so this battle was a….
Draw
A/N: I still happy that this is my twentieth chapter so I'm going to make this short okay? Since I'm going to celebrate this day by having to watch a movie marathon! As you can see the first part was the Raven Squad since I wanted you guys to know about them, and don't worries this will be certainly the last time you'll get the chance seeing them altogether. So yeah the battle for Narita is done and the battle of Guren and the Lancelot, with the fight of Lamorak and Gekka and also the fight between the Four Holy Sword and the Raven Squad is finally over and Shirley's father isn't dead in which they will going to celebrate by having a date! (Damn I said too much) and the results was…yes Draw. No one win a war guys, let us face it.
So tomorrow since I'm still doing the everyday update thing. You'll get the chapter of what happen after the Narita and no that wouldn't be the Message from Kyoto episode that would be the next chapter after this one. I certainly hope that you like this chapter since this is my twentieth chapter, and do not worry guys. I'm not going to abandoned this just because I reach the 20th chapter, I mean come on didn't I made a promise on chapter (sorry I forgotten about it…let me check where is it) 4! That long! Wow I mean…when did I make a promise that I can't make? So trust me, the only time I'm going to stop updating is when I'm completed the chapter.
The answer for the word hunt:
None (again? maybe you know every words)
And since this is my twentieth chapter like the tenth chapter I made a question for you guys and once again I'm going to repeat again.
The question is this: What was your favorite chapter in chapters 11-20 so far, and the most least? And add to that what is it your favorite chapter over all?
If you're going to ask me what is my favorite chapter in 11-20 then…chapter 17 (my second was chapter 15) and as the most least is…none (for me) since I think I made good, but this my opinion so please answer since I'm doing this to know what you hate and what you want :)
Please read and review.
And I almost forgot:
Happy Card playing Game! (Is this mean I could play solitaire?...no wait the instructions are; Learn a new card game and host a card night…so could I play Vanguard?)
And Happy Twentieth Chapter for ME!
F.C.C.S out
