A ship that was in Tokyo Bay was approaching Shinjuku. This ship, a mere cargo ship, looked odd but then again the men on the ship knew better than to question their commander as to why they were heading towards Shinjuku. Before long, a transmission was received.
"Third Prince Clovis la Britannia commands you, destroy Shinjuku Ghetto and leave no one alive!" the transmission stated.
"The Commander won't let this go unchallenged." an Intelligence Officer on the ship said.
Inside the hold of the ship, several Gloucesters that were painted a steel gray color were preparing for combat. "It looks like our first day in Japan is going to have a battle after all." someone who wore a metal helmet on his head stated.
"You're correct, Commander. Clovis la Britannia's forces are about to start a massacre. Should we step in and aid any resistance forces?" an ordinary soldier replied.
"Aid any resistances factions if the opportunity arises, but our objective is to eliminate all Britannian military forces in the ghetto and the surrounding area. We're renegades, so the moment the local military units spot us they'll shoot first and ask questions later."
"Understood, Commander." the soldier said before heading off to prepare for battle. The Commander proceeded to get inside of his Knightmare, a command variant of the Gloucester, and prepare to command his renegade faction for yet another battle. Soon enough, the Knightmare was raised to the deck of the ship along with four other Gloucesters. These ones however were ordinary Gloucesters instead of the command variant that the Commander piloted.
"Are all of you ready?" The Commander asked.
"Affirmative, Commander." all four of the Gloucester pilots that were on the deck answered.
"Alright, our mission is to eliminate Prince Clovis's forces in the Shinjuku Ghetto and the surrounding area. We need to ensure that any resistance factions are assisted and that we cannot allow all of the civilians to be killed. We'll break in through the southern outskirts and from there we figure out what we're doing."
"Understood, Commander." the members of the renegade faction on the ship stated before resuming preparations. Within two minutes, all forces were ready.
"Alright, let's move out!" The Commander stated as his Gloucester took off along with the four normal Gloucesters that were on the deck.
*Inside Clovis's G-1 command center, on the Bridge*
"The terrorists have mixed in with the civilian population and are putting up more resistance than initially expected. More troops are being sent in to deal with them." a large fat bald man called General Bartley stated.
"Sir, we just lost contact with Sigma Squad!" one of the officers remarked.
"W- What? Sigma Squad wasn't even in the city, they were on the southern outskirts guarding the coastline to Shinjuku!"
"Order Coyote Squad to investigate Sigma Squad's last known location! We need to figure out what's going on!" Clovis stated.
"Understood." the officer who stated Sigma Squad being lost replied.
*With the renegade faction*
"I've established overwatch over the battlefield so I'll notify you guys should I see any Britannian military movement. I'm currently at the top of the Shinjuku Metropolitan Government Office and will be keeping watch over the area." The Commander transmitted.
"Commander, resistance forces have taken control of enemy Sutherlands and what little we know is that the resistance faction in this Ghetto have taken the IFF beacons off the Knightmares that they seized from Clovis's forces." an operator that used to be on the cargo ship but was now in an APC near the Metropolitan Government Office transmitted.
"I'm designating those IFF beacon-stripped Sutherlands as friendly units, so do not fire on them. Aside from that, the resistance have two Glasgows that are different from the normal ones. Alpha Squad, you've got four enemy Knightmares heading towards where we broke through the encirclement. They'll be entering your area soon, so take them out before they see it coming."
"Understood, proceeding to intercept and eliminate." the leader of Alpha Squad replied.
{BEEP} Four Enemy Knightmares Lost.
"Beta Squad, a VTOL is passing through your area. Shoot it down before it finds you."
{BEEP} Unit Lost. VTOL Gunship Shot Down.
"Gamma Squad, five tanks are heading towards your location in pursuit of civilians. Destroy the tanks before they can slaughter the civvies."
{BEEP} Unit Lost. Tank lance eliminated.
The Commander then heard a tranmission come in from an unknown source. It asked, "Who are you guys? This is K-1 speaking and I'm leading the local resistance forces at the moment."
"We're a renegade Mobile Battalion from Area Six. You're speaking to their Commander right now."
*With the Kozuki Resistance*
"Wait a minute, renegade Britannain troops are here!?" Tamaki asked?
"K-1 is speaking to their Commander right now, and both Pink Flash and Orange Sword have just arrived." Ohgi answered as a pink Sutherland and orange Glasgow arrived at the resistance cell's current location.
"Pink Flash has arrived and I've brought Orange Sword with me, K-1." the pilot of the pink Sutherland transmitted.
"It's good to see you here, Pink Flash. You and Orange Sword have my gratitude for saving my life the other day." Naoto Kozuki transmitted from the gray Glasgow that he piloted.
"Pink Flash and Orange Sword, both of you head to my location. Q-1, be ready to initiate Mission Number Three. Also, do you have a map?" K-1 transmitted.
"Yes, I have a map of the old city but it has no current landmarks." Q-1 transmitted.
"That will do. Renegade Britannians, you might want to avoid the area that the local military troops are converging on. Many of my forces are evacuating and I have a plan going on at the moment."
No less than two moments later, The Commander's sensors noticed several tanks, Knightmares, and infantry squads heading towards where the local resistance was at.
"Looks like you're right, K-1. All units, stand by until K-1's plan is complete then 60% of you are to attack the encirclement while the remainder are to sweep for any infantry squadrons." The Commander transmitted.
"Understood, Commander." the soldiers of the renegade faction replied.
*Inside Clovis's G-1 command center*
{BEEP} Target not found.
Clovis stared at the display in confusion that was interrupted by a VTOL calling the command center.
"This is Hawk-74, I've reached Sigma Squad's last known coordinates! The- They were wiped out!" the VTOL transmitted.
"Any idea who or what was responsible?"
"Hang on, I'm picking up movement on my sensors. What the!? What are Gloucesters doing- AAAAGH!"
{BEEP} Unit Lost.
'G. . . Glou. . . Gloucesters? Could. . . could it be. . . is Princess Cornelia supporting these terrorists?' Clovis thought to himself before banishing the thought from his head and ordering, "Send another VTOL and find out what those Gloucesters are doing here in Area Eleven!" While this happened, he was ignorant of the fact that he had lost over 80% of his combat-capable forces to a single trap. When he realized what happened, he immediately called someone and the face of an eccentric scientist appeared.
"Yes, your highness?" the scientist asked.
"Can your special weapon win, Lloyd?"
"Please, your highness. . . call it Lancelot."
*A.S.E.E.C. trailer*
"Z-01 Lancelot launching. Please clear the area!" someone's voice echoed over the loudspeakers.
As a brown-haired Japanese young man mounted the Lancelot's cockpit and sealed the hatch behind him, he began to start up the machine and activated his radio.
"Ms. Cecile, all systems are green from this end." the young man said.
"Roger. All systems green from this end as well. Suzaku, you are cleared for launch." Cecile's voice replied.
The Lancelot moved forward in a flurry of motion and sped towards the conflict. Unknown to Suzaku, The Commander had spotted the Lancelot launching and transmitted to both his own soldiers and the Kozuki Resistance, "All units, an experiment Knightmare has been deployed by the enemy. Avoid it and resume prior orders."
"Understood, Commander." the Renegade Britannians answered while K-1 transmitted, "Want someone to assess that frame's capabilities?"
"Send your most expendable pilot to asses the machine's abilities. If the poor guy is lucky, he'll live."
"I hear you. P-3, you're to head out against that new frame and see what it has. If it gets too dangerous, get out of there."
A Sutherland piloted by 'P-3' encountered and fired at the experimental frame, which put up an energy shield of sorts to block the attack before disabling the captured Sutherland.
"All units, the experimental Knightmare has energy shields. Should you encounter it, do not engage and immediately escape." The Commander transmitted to his soldiers as he saw what happened.
"Understood, Commander." the Renegade Britannians replied.
*In the Lancelot*
After disabling the terrorist Sutherland, Suzaku made his way toward the center of Shinjuku as he thought about the report he saw about the battle. Losses were currently at 85% of all Sutherlands destroyed, 59% of all tanks destroyed, and 45% of all VTOLs destroyed.
'How the hell did terrorists do this?' Suzaku thought to himself before a transmission came in.
"Suzaku-kun, I've just received confirmation that a rogue faction of Britannian soldiers who are piloting gray Gloucesters are assisting the terrorists. Many of their forces are attacking the encirclement even as I speak. I'll notify you if anything comes up. Cecile out." Cecile transmitted.
As Suzaku turned around a corner, he saw a terrorist Sutherland that was with an orange Glasgow and a pink Sutherland and sped towards the three frames.
"I see now, are you the one in command of these terrorists?" Suzaku said over the Lancelot's loudspeakers.
"It looks like our experimental friend has arrived. Orange Sword and Pink Flash, keep him occupied while I head out to execute another plan. K-1 out." the enemy Sutherland's pilot said before it sped away. Before Suzaku could even think about trying to pursue it, both the orange Glasgow and the Pink Sutherland rushed him and forced him dodge a pincer attack.
"Don't take this personally, experimental boy. Pink Flash and I aren't going to kill you, we're just here to waste your time." the orange Glasgow's pilot said.
"I'll find great pleasure in making you squirm in frustration, boy. Most pilots can't handle fighting two enemies at the same time." the pink Sutherland's pilot said in a flirtatious tone.
Suzaku said nothing as he tried to disable the orange Glasgow only for it to dodge the attack and fire one of its Slash Harkens at him. He noticed that the pink Sutherland was also firing a Slash Harken at him and he had to dodge again. The Lancelot and its two adversaries continued to dodge each other's attacks for a few minutes, at which point Suzaku received a transmission.
"Suzaku-kun, please head back to the G-1! Those rogue Britannians I warned you about have almost broken through the encirclement and Prince Clovis's guards headed out in order to stop them! The Prince is unguarded right now, so please hurry back!" Cecile's panicked voice transmitted.
'Damn it!' Suzaku thought as he turned to head back to the G-1. The orange Glasgow then said to the pink Sutherland, "Well, it looks like our objective here is complete."
*Inside a corridor of the G-1*
Someone who was wearing a soldier's uniform entered the command room and ordered everyone inside except for Clovis to leave the room. Once only Clovis and the soldier were left, the soldier threatened Clovis into ordering a ceasefire. After the ceasefire was ordered, the soldier removed his helemt to reveal a young man with black hair and dark purple eyes.
"I am former Prince Lelouch vi Britannia, and this time nothing will escape me. Who killed my mother Marianne vi Britannia!?" the young man said.
"Cornelia and Schneizel might know who did it. Cornelia was head of the security detail and Schneizel moved the body somewhere." Clovis replied.
"That is all Clovis. You had several Japanese people killed simply because you didn't want someone with green hair to escape. Someone who was experimented on and freed by the terrorists and me. For your crimes today, the only fitting punishment is death!" Lelouch coldly said.
"No, please don't Lelouch! We may not have the same mother but we're still siblings!"
"I still cannot ignore what you did here, and for that you must die. I will however say that not all of the Japanese are innocent, but the ones that died today because of your actions were among the innocent. You can't change the world for better or worse without getting your hands dirty, unfortuantely."
Lelouch then shot Clovis in the left eye at an angle where the bullet would pierce through the brain, killing the Third Prince instantly.
A/N: And yet another Code Geass story begins. Now then, I have a challenge for anyone who reads this. Guess the real identities of the mysterious pilots known as Pink Flash and Orange Sword. Your only hints are that the real identites of both figures are from a manga story and that Pink Flash was a member of the Britannian Imperial Family. This challenge closes at the end of this month.
