Cornelia was ready to head out against the threat
"For you Euphie; I'll make sure you get the world of peace you wanted, FOR EUPHEMIA!" she said raising her sword
"EUPHEMIA!" the personale gathered there said each one of them holding up a sword in honour of the fallen princess
"In ten minutes we strike!" Cornelia ordered as the men rushed around
"You made the right choice your highness" Guilford smiling.
"What's our ETA?" Zero asked from his Burai
"Five minutes" Kallen said
"Optimus what's your ETA?" Zero asked looking at the Autobots taking the other bridge
"Three" Optimus said in his Alt. Form with the other Autobots behind him
"Ohgi; how's Grimlock?" Zero asked "Peeved" Ohgi said looking in the trailer containing the Tyrannosaurus Autobot
"Grimlock Cramped" Grimlock growled "Grimlock get masked perv when he finishes Decepticons" he roared
"Very peeved" Ohgi said making Kallen giggle.
In the skies above Tokyo flew the Avalon a new type of ship, Suzaku, Lloyd and Cecile were on board
"Suzaku go and fight the Decepticons, Euphie's going to be in surgery for a while so why not fight?" Cecile asked
"Because I want to be here when she wakes up" Suzaku said
"Tell you what we'll recall you five minutes before the surgery ends" Lloyd said dangling a key in front of Suzaku
"Enjoy the mods" he said as Suzaku took the key and walked off to fight "For Euphie" he whispered.
On the ground Cornelia's unit had engaged the Decepticons
"Die you no good Alien Scumbots!" Cornelia exclaimed as Megatron grabbed her lance and crushed it
"Oh dear I broke your toothpick" he laughed before kicking her frame away
"Not good" She said as blood trickled down her face
"That has to hurt" Megatron laughed again "Are you ready to join your maker?" He asked as a horn blasted
"What is that?" Megatron asked.
The Autobots were sixty seconds out when Cornelia had engaged them
"No, not now, pull back!" Zero said hoping she would, only to see her be flung around like a ragdoll "NO!" Zero shouted as he and Optimus increased speed to reach her in time, Optimus blasted his horn "What is that?" he heard Megatron ask before slamming into him making him fly away before skidding along the ground
"That was stupid" Kallen said looking
"AUTOBOTS TRANSFORM!" Optimus ordered. The Autobots transformed and went for their targets
"Prime!" Megatron growled
"Megatron" Optimus said deploying his sword
"Come here Prime and rescue the organic" Megatron sneered holding up Conrelia's frame
"You never change do you brother" Optimus said
"You're right Brother, why changed now!" Megatron said activating a smaller energon weapon and pointed it down "Say goodby...AHHH!" Megatron said looking at the source of his pain, the white Knightmare frame "So the boy returns hoping to avenge your mate?" Megatron asked
"That's right and with the Lancelot Conquestia" Suzaku said as he pointed his upgraded VARIS rifle at Megatron "I will not lose to you!" Suzaku said.
"Burai open fire!" Zero ordered as several barrages of gunfire hit Megatron in succession
"Direct hit!" Ohgi said as Grimlock ran past with a fury.
In the shadows Mindghost was hiding "Perfect soon our lord shall be revived and burn this old world to create a new one of his liking" he said
"I don't know who you're talking about but I'm not going to let that world come to be!" Slipstream said
"Ah Slipstream Prime" Mindghost said looking at the teal warrior
"you shouldn't have came here magus" Slipstream said
"Oh but I should've to make sure he is revived" Mindghost said
"I'm not letting him be revived" Slipstream Prime said charging up an energy ball in his hands
"So you're using Prime Powers are you, well in that case: Dark Light" Mindghost said unleashing a beam of black and purple light
"Prime Shield!" Slipstream said making a blue barrier around him making the light hit that.
"You have much to learn Sparkling" Mindghost said in a taunting manner
"Bring it Magus!" Slipstream said.
"Zero the Gawain was been repaired!" C.C. said
"Good bring it here and prepare for battle" Zero said with an edge in his voice, making C.C. suspicious
"Gawain to Lancelot, Suzaku he you noticed something off with Lelouch?" C.C. asked
"Yeah; it happened after Euphie was controlled by Mindghost, he seemed darker" Suzaku said in concern,
"I think he wants to offline Mindghost" C.C. said
"He's going...insane" Suzaku said fearing for his friend.
Optimus and Megatron were still fighting each other
"You will not destroy this world like you destroyed Cybretron!" Optimus declared with his blade out
"No Prime, I'm not going to destroy, I'm going to annihilate this planet!" Megatron said sinisterly as he swung his mace down on Optimus who blocked and then swung his blade to strike Megatron "You are weak as always brother" Megatron taunted before a sharp pain was felt in his side "How did you?" Megatron asked as he clutched the wound
"Because my strength is not that of the brute type" Optimus said slashing again as Megatron dodged and weave away from his brother's blades. "Let's end this Megatron" Optimus said drawing his guns. "Yes" Megatron growled out charging.
Suzaku got the call about Euphie's surgery and headed back as quickly as he could to be by her side. He entered her room to see her lying in a bed
"Euphie, I'm glad your okay" Suzaku said
"Lelouch" Euphie said softly
"Is fine, he's fighting right now" Suzaku said stroking her hand
"I couldn't stop no matter how strong my will was what ever did that to me was stronger" Euphie said
"Rest Euphie; the doctors haven't given you grand chances of living" Suzaku said as tears gathered in his eyes
"I know, just promise me to make the world peaceful" Euphie said before Suzaku started to sing a soft ballad as Euphie crept further from life.
"Would you betray a friend to stop him from plunging further into madness?" a voice asked Suzaku.
Lelouch had locked onto Mindghost's energy signature and was tracking him down
"Soon I will have revenge on you Decepticon coward, using an innocent girl to start a war that you hope will wipe out humans and convert the Earth into a nice little kingdom for you, will I hate to say it but you will never get the chance to survive another solar cycle" Lelouch said, this gravely concerned C.C.
"Lelouch?" she said softly
"Yes C.C." he answered
"I was wondering if I could give you something?" she asked as she switched the Gawain into hover mode
"What is it?" Lelouch asked.
"Close your eyes" she said. Soon all Lelouch could see was the shadows created by his eyelids, before he knew it a soft feeling came upon. He used his hands to locate the source of it and moved his hands around until he found and gripped it tighter before he felt something wrap itself around his neck causing the feeling to increase. Soon C.C's kiss had deepened and Lelouch was running along her chin before breaking it off and holding her
"thank you Cera I needed it" Lelouch said rubbing circles on her back as he felt the slow raising and falling of her chest on his own chest
"I worry about you and that fact that your sanity has been slightly decreasing ever since the beginning of this battle" C.C. said. Lelouch noticed her tone wasn't bland but sad almost hurt, had he hurt her but letting himself become insane, he hoped not.
"I'm not like Mao I have use very little of my geass since the Autobots showed up" he smiled
"Lelouch promise me something?" C.C. said
"What is it?" Lelouch asked
"don't be overcome by revenge that you can't see what you have to lose" she said.
"So my prey is nearly here" Mindghost said to the skies "Yes come and claim you revenge for you dear sister for I can guarantee that you will lose your mind" Mindghost said in a taunting way
