Code Avatar: Lelouch and the Airbender

By: C.C.

*HeyXD Sorry for all of the late updates: I've had a lot going on lately, and it's really backing me up on everything...the end of the school year is usually pretty hectic with all those school projects, coming up, banquet(for the average school, Prom or School Dance), and then to top it off there's a lot of personal crap going on with a friend, but I'm not gonna ramble on about that. Enjoy the next chappie!XD

Chapter 36:

The battle raged not only between the Knightmares but on the ground as well, turning the entire Headquarters into a blood bath. Geass was running rampant around the lake and the area surrounding from the people that were under Schnizel's trance. People were dying quickly, and you don't have to guess to know that it's the Geass side, the side of the blind, selfish Prince that was winning. Schnizel had no idea what he was doing. He had just about every move planned out, but he was doing it blindly at the same time.

Deithard was off to the side, no longer in his Knightmare, and holding a camera. He had excitement on his face at the whole scene as he carried around his camera. It was streaming live to the people of Britannia, though he and Rakshata were the only two that knew about it.

People, citizens of Britannia, Area 11, and the whole world were watching the battle that was taking place live. It shocked them to see what was on the screen.

"This is what the people of Britannia are doing!" said Rakshata as she walked in front of the camera. "They're making a blood bath here in a different dimension! People are dying, and for what reason? Because Zero came here? This is what the Second Prince has commanded, what the Second Prince is in charge of, and what the people and military of Britannia are in charge of!" She said this with fire in her eyes as she attempted to act out the part of an outraged person for the crimes that were being committed.

Deithard could do nothing but smile while his face was hidden. He thought that it was about time that the actions of the Black Knights and Britannia, the actions that were going on with people of this foreign universe should be revealed to the outside world that has been neglected by their own War.

The video made top of the news on every news station all over the world. Foreign countries were questioning what action that they should take if they take any at all. The people are demanding to know what they could do to help, while others could care less. Britannian royalty that were sitting and watching were questioning why their brother would do this, while other members were merely saying 'this is a good thing; we don't have to put up with the War anymore,' when of course that were the people that could care less about anyone but themselves. The main question that people were asking is was the Emperor of Britannia, Charles zi Britannia, involved in this, and if he wasn't, what actions would they take as a result of what his son has done to innocent people? Many don't know the whole story, but they know that something was going on, and they were beginning to demand to know the truth, to know the whole story.

Meanwhile, Lelouch and Suzaku were fighting it off while Kallen stood off to the side, unsure about what to do. Lelouch had told her not to get involved any further, and that this was to be his fight.

Jet and the rest of the new group of Freedom Fighters that had been arranged by Zero and the New Knights were still down below, fighting. Many were dying. Jet tried to stay strong, though. He was fighting for a cause, and he more than anyone believed in Zero's methods in a War, for they were quite logical, though they could be cruel. That's the problem, though; War is cruel. War is a living hell on Earth. Some people just couldn't see that if they're in a War, people are gonna die. The innocent soldiers die every time they go into a battle, but there's nothing that they can do about it because that's what War is, something that Aang and the others would never see. That's what Jet and Lelouch saw that no one else did.

C.C., on the other hand, was sitting back on the Wall of Ba Sing Se with a box of pizza(Lord knows where she got it) and was watching the whole scene like she would watch a movie with the pizza as her popcorn. She was as laid back and carefree as ever.

"People can truly be idiotic at times," she said, merely talking to herself. "If they only watched or even just looked at their own faults, they could avoid so much of this pain and suffering. Oh well. It makes for an entertaining movie for the typical immortal, though I guess I probably should go down and help Lelouch."

Then, that's when it happened. This was something unexpected by many.

The two Knightmares, Albion and Sutherland, were going in, head to head with curses going out in and through each others ears. They collided, causing an explosion that was taller than the Great Wall of Ba Sing Se. Both Knightmares were in flames, destroyed, and fallen. Every fighter, every dead man, and every person that was in seeing range stopped to stare. Both great Knightmares were gone. The pilots? No one could be sure, but the first assumption would be that both were dead.

Katara was being dragged by two people, people that she did not know, by her arms. She had each arm over a different person, both standing on either side of her as her handcuffed feet dragged against the floor of the...whatever they were on. She was being carried up by stairs, blindfolded. She only knew what she felt, and it's not like she's Toph or anything. She couldn't feel the entire place, the people standing a yard away, or even feel the flies on the wall. Only the people dragging her and the floor she was being dragged on.

They finally sat her down after bringing her up some steps. They placed her hands behind the chair and tied her up with a rope. Only then did they take off the blind fold for her to see Schnizel before her, grinning a devious yet charming smile and glaring her down not with intimidation but with care.

"My dear, what is your name?" he asked in his sweet talking voice.

Katara hesitated, unsure about what to do about this. She'd been dragged up there against her will, and there he was, asking her what her name was in a nice way. She was confused, and it said so on her face.

"Uh, what's going on here?" she asked, curious and confused.

"Hmm, I don't know if you know my name or not, so allow me to introduce myself. My name is Schnizel el Britannia, half brother of your friend, Lelouch. Now, may I ask your name again?" he said, offering a hand out to her only to remember that she can't reach back due to the fact that she was tied up with a rope. He untied her and then she looked at him again, rubbing the circulation back into her wrists.

"Katara," she finally replied, still unsure.

"Katara! Well, welcome my dear! What is it that you've done to be back here in my ship?" he asked, gracefully taking her hand and leading her over to a table with no food but beautiful china dishes.

"We're not sure. Why is it that I'm here with you right now? Why have you taken me, of all the others here with me? Where are the others?" she asked, merely concerned for her friends and brother.

"Oh, I assure you that they're perfectly safe. They're back in their cell, doing whatever it was that they would be doing in there. I've selected you because I would like to speak with you. You're a member from the inside of the New Knights, one of his commanders, may I assume?" he asked, gesturing over towards her.

"I'm in charge of all the Waterbenders. There are more than enough to train and have ready for a battle against you and your Geass army," she said, glaring at him now.

"Well, I take that as a compliment. Thank you. Now, what is it that Zero is planning? It would be quite interesting to know," he asked smoothly, slyly grinning at the same time.

"And why would I tell you that? You're the enemy of the New Knights and the Black Knights as well. He's helping us!"

"What exactly is he doing to help you? Do you not know of his power? He possesses something known as Geass, a power of complete control over a human being or any other creature for that matter. He could place you under this power and you might not even know it because it causes a memory block that occurs moments before he placed you under his own control, under his will. He could command you to kill your friend, or to even kill yourself. Being around him is just as dangerous as being help hostage by the enemy."

"I know of his power and I'm completely against it, but I'm not gonna tell you the plans of the New Knights because of my hatred for what he does! I care about my people, my friends, and my family more than I feel hatred for his methods," she said demandingly as her eyes started to narrow.

"Hm. You are quite the clever young girl. From what I hear, you're also quite talented with your Waterbending and you have the fire in your heart to pursue what is it that you want. I admire you, Katara. I admire your determination and your strong will. I would have a great place for you over here on my side," he said, reaching out a hand for her like a loving father would do for his child, but she only looked at it as she tried to take it all in.

"What?" she said, eyes wide as she was shocked by this offer. "But, you're with the Fire Nation!"

"Yes, I am with the Fire Nation, but I have my reasons. You see, my Father has plans of his own, and the fact that Lelouch came over here made his plans changed to where we had to involve you and your world. Your life is now in the hands on the decisions of my father and myself. The Fire Lord and his people are now merely our puppets. It does not matter if you know that or not because the Fire Nation wouldn't even listen to you if you tried to tell them, and I tell you this also to warn you. Like the way that the Fire Nation and his people are out puppets, you and the New Knights, the Black Knights, and any supporter of Zero are merely his pawns. He is only using you to win a game that you don't have a say in."

It took Katara a moment to soak it all in. "I never liked his methods, but what you're saying-...this is insanity!"

"Insanity soon becomes sanity in a world that's full of insane things, my dear. Nothing is sane anymore," he said as food started to come over to them on trays and set onto the china dishes. "We as people now need to discover what it is that we never thought possible in this world of insanity. We need to figure out our positions, and I think that you would have a great place here with me and my people to bring down Lelouch and the New Knights. In return, I will spare your world and even better, I'll bring down the Fire Nation out of power."

Katara didn't know what to say to that. She was now torn between her people and the original plan and a guarantee of the downfall of the Fire Nation without the help of Zero and the Black Knights, though for all she knew, his mouth could be full of lies.

TBC? Please R&R!
