Hey everyone! So sorry this took so long but Chapter 8 has finally happened! I'm in classes and such so chapters may become less frequent as it may have been. Plus I'm planning on writing an Inuyasha fanfic that was inspired by Sweet Inu Girl who wrote The Return and The Ascension, both of which I will be re-reading again. Anyway enjoy the chapter!

Lelouch, C.C., Kallen, Nagato

The four of them continued to look for Sutherlands or Glasgows for them to use to win against Clovis. Kallen stayed close to Lelouch's right side while C.C. walked in between Kallen and Nagato.

'They have to be here somewhere,' Lelouch thought as they walked around the damaged buildings, searching for any Glasgows that may have been hidden by the Japanese or as a surprise from the Britannian forces.

Nagato watched as Lelouch and Kallen stayed close together as if they never want to be separated. His eyes watched as Lelouch would look at Kallen with a gentle smile and Kallen look at Lelouch with a grin before they looked towards where they were going once again.

'I wonder how Naoto would take his little sister dating a Britannian teenage,' Nagato thought to himself.

"Hey Lelouch?" Kallen called for gently.

"What is it Kally?" Lelouch asked.

"You think Naoto-nii-san would approve of us being together," Kallen asked in a curious tone.

"I'm sure he would be fine with it. He didn't mind us playing together so long ago after all," Lelouch answered with a grin.

Kallen let out a small giggle as she thought about when they were kids and how Naoto seemed to be so accepting of her and Lelouch being close together at the time.

They did not realize that soon, they will run into a survivor who believes in them more than the Japanese terrorist group that the people in Shinjuku had no idea about.

?

The young Japanese girl ran as fast as she could while staying hidden from Britannian soldiers, looking for the Britannian teen named Lelouch.

'I hope I found them soon because I'm not sure how long I can keep running and hiding before they capture and kill me,' the girl thought, desperately looking for Lelouch.

Her prayers were finally answered as she saw the group she was looking for. She pushed her exhausted body to the limit and ran towards them.

Her small body jumped at Lelouch, causing both Lelouch and Kallen to fall to the ground in a small thud.

Nagato and C.C. stopped to watch the three go down, Nagato with a confused expression on his face while C.C. watched with boredom.

"I finally found you!" the little girl cried out in happiness.

Kallen looked at the young Japanese girl as she untangled herself from the weird dog pile she was just in.

"Who are you?" Kallen asked as the young girl and Lelouch untangled themselves from each other.

"Ai Takahashi," the girl answered as she lightly played with a strand of her black hair and frowned lightly.

"Ai, that's a lovely name," Lelouch said with a gentle smile.

"T-Thank you," Ai stuttered with a small blush on her cheeks from the compliment.

"Are you a survivor?" Lelouch asked with a gentle voice so he doesn't scare the child away.

"Yes, please help my fellow countrymen and take us to a better future," Ai said as she lowered herself into bow similar to how the Chinese bow in respect.

"Ai, would you like to help make this world free?" Kallen asked suddenly, causing Nagato to look at her with wide eyes as if he couldn't believe she would suggest a thing to a young child.

"Yes," Ai slowly answered as she sat up and looked at Kallen with the most determined eyes that caused both Lelouch and Kallen to smile.

"From now on, you will be known as Elizabeth Lamperouge," Lelouch stated with a grin.

"What's wrong with my name?" Ai asked, confused.

"It will be the only way we can really get you out of here without the Britannians threatening to kill you," Lelouch stated with a wink.

Ai stared at him as if he was a high being because she had never thought of that. Lelouch smiled as he carefully picked her up and looked at Kallen, who nodded her head and grinned.

"How dare you take away her Japanese heritage?!" Nagato yelled in anger as he glared at Lelouch.

"I think you have it all wrong," Ai or rather Elizabeth stated as her small arms wrapped around Lelouch's neck.

Nagato looked at Kallen and Lelouch before looking at Ai and back at Lelouch.

"What am I not getting here then?" Nagato asked as his hands clenched into tight fists, ready to punch Lelouch for even changing who the girl is.

"Lelouch does not think of us as elevens or anyone else than human. He sees as as Japanese and want to do everything within his power to help us against his own homeland," Kallen explained.

"He probably can't get her out of here safely without saying she's either a member of his family or one of his new servants," C.C. finally stated as she turned towards Nagato before she walked away.

Lelouch silently followed after C.C. with Kallen while Nagato frowned but followed after them. Ai rested her head on Lelouch's shoulder as he held her in a protective grip.

The four of them began to run as fast as they could to reach their destination. After an hour or so of running, they finally found a cargo train that had energy filters, Glasgows, and other Sutherland vehicles.

"Grab a Sutherland , fill their tanks and read about them quickly. We have a lot of work to do," Lelouch ordered.

C.C. ran towards a black Sutherland and slowly got into the cockpit before she started it. Lelouch looked around to see if there was a Sutherland with two seats so both him and Ai could sit together. Nagato found a red Sutherland and got inside of the cockpit and got ready to fight.

Kallen had found a purple Sutherland that had two seats in it before she looked at Lelouch, who was holding the young girl.

"Lelouch over here!" Kallen called out to her love.

Lelouch looked at her before he ran over and looked at the Sutherland that she had found.

"This will do," Lelouch stated softly before he got into the back seat and placed Ai on his lap as comfortably as he could.

Kallen got into the driver's seat of the Sutherland and the cockpit slid inside the machine. Each of the Sutherlands the three had boarded were filled with energy.

"Let's do this Lulu," Kallen stated softly.

"Yes Kally, my Q-1," Lelouch stated as he looked at the old Shinjuku map to familiarize himself with what he must do to end this casualties.

Japanese terrorist group

Ohgi waited with Tamaki as they waited to hear what Nagato has to tell them or even this Britannian kid that seems to think he could help them.

"Ohgi, you read?" - Nagato

"Loud and clear, Nagato. What's the plan?" Ohgi asked in his talkie.

"Hurry outside, there should be a cargo ship that isn't moving. Inside are energy filters and Sutherlands. Use them but the kid will be in the frequency along with Kallen."

"You heard him everyone, run and keep yourselves hidden as we get inside of those Sutherlands," Ohgi ordered as he and the rest of his resistance group headed to the cargo train.

'We shall see what this guy can do and if he betrays either us or Kallen, we'll kill him like the Britannian scum that he truly is,' Ohgi and Tamaki thought more or less.

That's all for now everyone and soon I should have Chapter 9 of this fanfic or the next chapter of Budo becomes a yandere...or something XD I'm not sure yet. Anyway Read and Review!
