Code Geass: Lelouch of Divine Providence

Ch22: Mission Gone Strange part1!

Euphemia and her entourage arrived on the Shikine Island and were speaking with one of the soldiers stationed there.

"The arrival time is right on schedule," The soldier said, "we've prepared a room for you in headquarter if you like."

"Is it safe to say to assume that the ship is docking here?" Euphemia asked, smiling and the soldier nodded politely at her.

"Yes, Your Highness," The soldier said, "that hasn't changed."

"Then I will do fine then," Euphemia said with a smile.

"As you wish, I'll arrange for an escort—" The soldier said before they were interrupted by a loud explosion outside.

"What the heck?" Suzaku wondered out loud.

The military base within Shikine Island was under attack and Lieutenant Colonel Fayer who was the military base commander was shocked in what he was seeing.

"Terrorists!?" Fayer spoked surprised, "But how did they get here?"

"It cannot be the Black Knights?" Suzaku wondered, the personal knight of Euphemia looking up in alarm as the sound of wailing sirens filled the air, followed by the sound of Knightmare combat.

"There is no doubt about them and Zangetsu. But it confusing on how they know we are here," Nonette said with deep concerns.

"We'll withdraw to the settlement." Cecile insisted, her expression grim even as Euphemia's eyes widening in surprise, "Can you arrange for an escort unit for her?"

"Unfortunately, it's too risky to leave right now." One of the soldiers replied, "They just jamming us with some wide ranged interference."

"I'll handle this," Nonette declared, serious. "I'll get Bedivere ready and head out there. If Zangetsu out there, I'll face him."

It surprised them that Nonette will go on and face against Zangetsu but Suzaku nodded in agreement with the Knight of Nine. He then turned toward Euphemia.

"Don't worry, Your Highness." Suzaku assured, "You're going to be fine. As your knight, I won't let anything or anyone come after you."

"Suzaku…"

Nonette smiled at the scene before looking at the pink princess, "Princess Euphemia, you're in good hands with your personal knight. I'll go and take on Zangetsu. I'm going to end this."

"Nonette…"

"Well then," Lloyd said pleased, "then it's settled."

(Play GET MY FUTURE!)

(Instrument) The song begins with a full view of ruin building in Japan before the scene started with a ruined building with Zangetsu standing watching over the Tokyo settlement when the sun is set before the entire scene was replaced with the title.

Kodoku ni yureteru Emotion

The scene began with Lelouch yawning as he lying on the schoolyard as he thought about his past before Ayano appeared behind him which caused a scene of him being chased by Ayano around.

Itsu demo jidai no hadō ni nomikomarete

Unknown to them, Orpheus was chuckled at the scene with amusing before he and Akito spotted each other. The two stares at each other before they went on their separated paths with their Lockseeds in their hands.

Samayotteta setsunai kokoro

In his room, Rai holds tightly on the Orange Lockseed tightly as a memory of young girl flash in his mind. Soon the screen turns toward Gaim and he holds tightly on his Daidaimaru while looking at the viewers.

Just One Nation kizanderu I.D.

The scene changes to Helheim forest and shows Jam with a dark aura.

Doko e mo ikenai jibun ga

Suddenly the scene changes to Japan starts being covered by Helheim forest and Inves began their invasion. This cause many civilian began to start running for their lives, though Britannian soldiers try to fight against Inves, but they soon got overwhelmed by the number of the creatures of in the forest.

Modokashikute kuyashikatta

Soon the scene changes to the Black Knight headquarter as the operative members monitor event going on.

Sore demo yume ni miteta

As the Inves got closed to them, Lelouch and his fellow Riders got out their Drivers. They soon locked their Lockseeds into their Drivers before they transformed and charge into battle.

Haruka tōku taiyō no shizumu oto ga suru

The Lancelot Club is seen race across the field while taking out large Inves and Britannia Knightframes at the same. Soon the scene focused on Zangetsu running at incredible speed slashing through Britannian soldiers and Inves alike while explosions occur around him.

Ano basho e yukō Sekai no hate made

Suddenly he becomes Zangetsu-Shin before getting out his Sonic Arrow and delivers a powerful slash to destroy an unknown Knightframe.

Dare yori tsuyoku naritai Jibun rashiku aru tame Dare ni mo yuzurenai Passion Ashita wo ikiru tame

Habakiri did a spin slash with her dual katanas; Ryugen firing several shots with his gun; Baron spins her Banaspear and thrust it forward; Kurokage spins his weapon; Knuckle pounced his Kurumi Bombers together.

GET MY FUTURE shinjitai michi wo Hitasura hashireba ii Mirai wo kirihiraku Action Tatakau yūki wo Kono mune ni daite

Soon a Britannia airship dropped bombs on the city and caused the Riders to struggle in pain until Zangetsu-Shin shows up and destroyed it with his Finisher. The scene changes when Zangetsu-Shin and Jam spotted each other before they clashed with each other as sparks flying everywhere.

To Be Free

The scene changes to Lelouch and Ayano were walking together, then they turned around facing the screen, then it zooms out revealing Rai, Kallen, Nunnally, Orpheus and Akito along with several members of Black Knights.

(Kamine Island)

Orpheus soon lands Draco on the sandy ground before emerging from his Knightmare. It didn't take him this long to come here from flying straight from China Federation. Draco soon vanished after Orpheus closed his Lockseed.

"This is the place," Orpheus said, scanning around the island carefully.

Though this island seems to be no sights of human life, the young man knows that there is a Camelot company being here and experimenting on a new float system for Knightmare.

Orpheus soon hurry into the forest and looks around carefully as he sees no soldiers or any scientists around yet.

"This is going to take longer to find…" Orpheus said, annoyed at the lack of clues to indicate where Camelot might be on the island itself.

Suddenly Orpheus hear the sounds of branch crunched and hiding behind a tree carefully. He soon sneaks a peek to see few scientists and soldiers on their way.

'They must be heading off somewhere… and that is where Camelot might be located.' Orpheus thought before following them from behind.

One of the soldiers thought he hears something and turned around, but to find nothing except bushes. The soldier shrugged before following his companies as Orpheus slowly move out of the bushes itself.

Zangetsu is watching the battles in his personal Knightmare from atop of a ridge. The Guren and Todoh's customized Gekka leading the fights. But it wasn't long until the Guren jumps out of the way from slash harkens.

There the forces encounter what might be Nonette's Knightmare the Bedivere. But the appearance also resembled that of how the original Lancelot Club look except the colors are purple in the place for the blue and holding a giant lance-like weapon. There are two large swords hanging on the back.

"My sensors are on her." Club said.

"So you finally show yourself Nonette…" Zangetsu said before activated the communication. "Habakiri, when I lead her away. That will be the time for you and others to begin the plan."

"I know. Through there some risk and wait for them to come back after dropping Rai and others off," Ayano said. Though she wasn't part of the front battle, she and few others are involved with another plan while Zangetsu draining away the Knight of Nine.

"Don't worry, it shouldn't take that long. I choose you and others for this since this is your field." Zangetsu said before the Club throws his Melon Defender down at the Bedivere.

Bedivere turns around and used the massive lance to block and knocked to the side. Nonette then looks straight up the ridge and seeing the Lancelot Club.

"There you are, Zangetsu," Nonette said.

Club signaled the other Knightmare to come after it.

"Think you can go against me in Knightmare combat, aren't you?" Nonette asked.

Inside the Club, Zangetsu grinned behind the helmet.

"I will be doing more than that…" Zangetsu said.

Meanwhile, Todoh signaled the other Knightmare in the presence and they started to move away.

"Confirming target," Todoh said, "all units! Assume Formation Three and fall back! Do not fire at the target! I repeated, do not fire at the target!"

Fayer was on the phone with someone within the headquarters.

"Yes and it's thanks to the Knight of Nine," Fayer said and then he was told something and Fayer become shocked.

"Wait, a minute, are you sure that's wise?"

"…" Whatever the person on the other line says is something Fayer won't want to go against.

"But Your Highness," Fayer said, "What of His Majesty? I doubt he would be pleased if—"

Fayer was cut off and was told of something then Fayer just blinked his eyes.

"I see," Fayer said, "in that case…"

The Club firing some shots at the Bedivere while speeding ahead of it, but the large Knightmare using the giant lance to blocking the blasts. This action seems to make Nonette irritation.

"Is this how you beat Nelly in the first place? Run and Hit?" Nonette said, not looking amused.

"Compared to her… yours is too slow." Zangetsu comment, getting on the Knight of Nine's nerve. Everything seems fine so far with leading the Knight of Nine on the trail behind him.

It wasn't long until they reach the beach itself.

The Club arrives and jumps into the sandpit. Nonette wondered why Zangetsu did that and started to wonder what the plan for this. Nonette decides to take the risk and made the Bedivere jumps into sandpits.

"Zangetsu! Its time we settled this!" The Bedivere pointed its massive lance weapon at the Club. "Now I got you…"

"Right where…" Zangetsu said.

"I want you…!" Rakshata said.

Rakshata pushed a button that was a switch and device around the sandpit activated and this disables the Bedivere. Though it would affect Zangetsu's Lancelot Club, it seems that Club is immune and decide to go to rest instead. Nonette was shocked with what just happened and tried to get her Knightmare to move.

"What the hell?" Nonette said shocked, "What is this?" She continued to try to move the Bedivere, but the Knightmare cannot move and seem frozen in place while it was. Her eyes soon wide in shock. "No way… my Bedivere… it… stops…"

"Nonette Enneagram!" Zangetsu shouted, coming out of the Club.

"I see now," Nonette said, "you lured me into a trap by using yourself as a bait." She sighed.

"Come out of your Knightmare!" Zangetsu said. "There is no way for you get out of this one and no one comes to save you!"

Nonette ponders the situation at hand before a smirk appears on her face. This might work in her situation despite the risk. "Fine…" she said, "I want to talk with you anyway!"

"Is that so…?" Zangetsu ponder. 'What is her goal this time…?' Though he reminds himself that this is part of the plan in buying time for others.

"It looks like the coast is clear." Ayano said in her Burai, looking around the forest area.

Behind her are two Burais carried the Lancelot and two more in behind were guns ready in their hands.

"I cannot believe how easy it was… stealing this thing." Yoshida said, looking at the Lancelot that he helped carry.

During the attack on the military base and jamming interference, a small group comprised of Ayano, Sugiyama, Yoshida, and two new recruits sneak in quietly while everyone paid attention to Nonette going after their leader. Their objective has located the Lancelot which was located in the hanger. After getting there, Ayano throws out sleeping gas which knocked out the maintaining group and guards into dreamland. They soon steal the white Knightmare that been a pain on their side from the beginning and left for the forest.

Ayano has to admit that the stealing is kind of easy and remind her of her time with Yukiya and Ryo back in the old days. But she also pleased that she can least do something to help with operation than standing on the sideline.

"Ohgi says that he will have the submarine come back soon and met at the rendezvous point. We better hurry!" Sugiyama said as the Burai continued walking with the Lancelot through the forest.

"BLACK KNIGHTS! WHERE DID YOU TAKE MY LANCELOT!?" A familiar voice shouted angrily into the air.

The Burais turn around and seeing a Sutherland rushing down the hill. But Ayano, Sugiyama, and Yoshida recognized the voice of the pilot: Suzaku Kururugi.

"Shit. I thought this was supposed to be a clear raid without them noticing us." Sugiyama said, surprised.

"It won't be long until he noticed us. We better meet up with Ohgi." Yoshida insists quietly.

Ayano soon takes one of Lancelot's vibration sword and looks at others.

"You guys moved on ahead, I will buy you some time," Ayano said. She did have a feeling that it will come to this when Suzaku didn't know that she and Lelouch on the opposite side. But she knows that she might have the advantage despite Suzaku using a Sutherland than the Lancelot that they stole from under their nose.

"Are you sure that you don't need our help?" One of Burai pilot asked.

"No, I got this. We cannot all fight against him." Ayano replied positively. "You guys moved on and met up with Ohgi."

"Thank you for your help, Kosaka-san," Yoshida said as he and others continued moving forward.

Ayano soon charged forward at the unexpected Sutherland with the weapon in hand. Suzaku saw something moved fast on his left from his monitor and dodged. There he saw a Burai with Lancelot's vibration sword in hand, this made him glaring intensely.

Suzaku saw the attack coming and moved out of the way from the blow.

"WHERE IS MY LANCELOT!?" Suzaku demands. But Ayano won't let him as she swings the vibrate sword to made Suzaku moved back. Though the blade only gazed the right shoulder of the Sutherland.

"Well, well… I never thought it take this long for you guys to realize it," Ayano chuckled smirk. "but I didn't think that you will abandon your little princess back in the base, don't want anything bad happened to her, huh?" she taunted, making Suzaku looks angry.

After Euphemia told him to rescue the Knight of Nine… they find out that the Lancelot was stolen and Lloyd has a serious panic attack. Therefore, Suzaku borrowed one of the spare Sutherland and going after the pursuers.

"I made a pledge to Princess Euphemia to save Nonette and I will get my Lancelot back!" Suzaku shouted before fired and charging forward at her. "You better surrender, you bastard or else! Just like your leader Zangetsu! This rebellion is nothing more than a fool's errand to die!"

"You're a fool for what you've done…" Ayano replied cold. She wants to finish him here. Though she wants to do it, she won't as this wasn't part of the plan and Lelouch didn't ask anyone to do it. "Someone who only cared about washing his own morals than helping others." She said in a mocking tone.

Ayano soon made the Burai used the vibrate sword blocking the blasts as Suzaku charging forward at her. She waits at the last moment before jumping over the Sutherland and used the vibrate sword to destroyed the right arm of Sutherland.

"Damn it…" Suzaku gritting his teeth as he moved the Sutherland forward and pointed the hidden blade at her Burai.

Ayano piloted her Burai and takes off. This made Suzaku's eyes widen in shock.

"Wait!" Suzaku shouted before following after the Burai from behind. Suzaku continued firing shots, but the Burai dodged the blasts and still running.

Nonette watched as Zangetsu getting down from his Knightmare with his Musou Saber pointed at her.

"See. I don't have any weapons on me…" Nonette said, but Zangetsu still pointed his Musou Saber at her. "Oh coming on… this is not fair."

"I don't trust that," Zangetsu replied.

"That is unfortunate," Nonette said. "I'm just want to talk."

"You say that?" Zangetsu asked. "Then let do it, besides I have questions that I want to know."

"Is that so?" Nonette asked. "So tell me Zangetsu, what is your connection with children of later Marianne Vi Britannia? You seem to know about them that you were willing to kill Clovis."

Zangetsu just stares at Nonette. "I do… know about them."

This made Nonette's eyes wide in surprised before Zangetsu continued, "They were one of my reasons to destroyed Britannia. I fought to avenge their wrongful death made by the man who I call… their sperm donor. He left them in the forsaken place that they were unaware that they will be his excuse of conquered this beloved land. It truly unfortunate they have to die. But their memories will be always with me."

"Why should I believe from someone who murdered Clovis? If you were closed to them, how dared you going against their family!?" Nonette asked. "Don't you know how many tears their siblings have dropped onto the floor?"

This doesn't faze Zangetsu. "Why should I care? It's their sperm donor started the invasion in the first place."

Zangetsu's respond still doesn't make Nonette please at all, "You can turn around and surrender yourself before telling where they are. Maybe you can even join the Britannia army… despite your crimes."

This made Zangetsu blinks. "Excuse me?"

"I say joined with the Britannia's side. I don't know who you are, but I am certain that you're full Britannian or Half-Blood. Your skills and powers will be more suite than this hopeless crusader against Britannia. Not to mention that Lelouch and Nunnally be safer there." Nonette said.

The white rider cannot believe what Nonette is saying.

"So it finally happened," Zangetsu said. "You really become insane, Nonette."

"I know what it looks like." Nonette said, "But if I going to find out what happened to them, then I will need you to surrender. This crusader of yours will be eventually hopeless and everything will fall apart around you."

"Do you really think that way?" Asked Zangetsu.

"I know so," Nonette said, looking frustration. "I will make sure that those two come back. Their family will be happier to see them again than being with a murder like you."

"Is that so, Nonette…?" Zangetsu asked before placing his hand against his visor. Though he knows that it might be a risk to ask her about it, he won't ignored it. "Tell me something since you're one of the Emperor's Knights of Round. Have you ever hear of it…? The Ragnarok Connection?" he asked before Nonette flinched immediately. seem that she does know something about it.

Nonette has a disbelief expression on her face and moves a few feet back. How is it possible for someone like a masked terrorist knows something that only knights like her and emperor know?

"H-How did you know about that?" Nonette asked, shocked as Zangetsu started chuckled darkly.

"Now, you will answer my questions truthfully!" Zangetsu said, revealing his Geass.

Nonette soon feels under the gaze of Geass before she can even move away. Even after his Geass imposed on him, Nonette seems to struggle with his commands.

"Damn you…" she cursed quietly that only Zangetsu can hear.

It wasn't long until she seems to submit to the Geass and shows a calm composition. "Very well. What do you want to know?" she asked.

"What exactly is the Ragnarok Connection?" Zangetsu asked. Since the day he obtains Geass and hears those words, he wants to know whatever it is and how important to that man. He knows that CC might know something, but choose to not tell him. However, he chooses to find it from another source. Why better than getting it from Knights of Round themselves?

"The Ragnarok Connection… is his Majesty's plan for everlasting peace to the world. The day that everyone won't have to lie or suffering to anyone." Nonette answered.

"Is that so? Sorry to burst your bubble, a world like that cannot exist. It's illogical. If there was a world of equality, where truth and lies didn't matter, we would all be equally snubbed there." Zangetsu said. Within in his helmet, Zangetsu showing an intense glare.

So that man who never cared about what happened to his mother… planning for world peace? The revolutionist of Black Knight cannot help feel angrier than before. Not after that man let sending him and Nunnally to die! But for the sake of everlasting peace? That man doesn't know anything about peace by left two children to die! Sacrificing them for the sake of peace… He only cared about Darwinism and nothing more.

"Is that the only thing you know?" Zangetsu asked.

"Yes. Bismarck was the one who told me that we will be protecting his Majesty's sake when the promising day arrives." Nonette answered.

Why am I not surprised? The Knight of One is always his right-hand man… whatever his grand scheme is... Zangetsu thought before continued with his next question. The true reason for her being here in Japan.

"What is your mission assigned by the emperor? What is your real purpose of coming to Area 11?" Zangetsu asked.

"To confirm rather or not that Lelouch Vi Britannia is Zangetsu," Nonette said, making Zangetsu blinks in shock.

"Oh? What made him convinced that he is still alive?" Zangetsu asked, surprisingly. 'Something is weird…And how does that man know that I am even alive in the first place? I am sure that I covered our tracks carefully after the Pacific war.' he thought confused. C.C. is out of the question as he knows she wasn't the one who babbling about his whereabouts despite knowing the emperor in the past.

"The emperor believed that Lelouch will manage his way to survived along with his sister Nunnally. However, I am skeptical about his claim regard to him being Zangetsu." Nonette explains.

"Cared to explain, Nonette?" Zangetsu asked, curious.

"Back then, I know that Lelouch has a weak body condition that would be impossible to train especially focus on doting his sister. Lelouch would never pay much attention to strenuous training. Even now, I still believe there is no way he can be physical enough to be Zangetsu." Nonette explains.

Zangetsu didn't react when hearing about her suspicious. That is probably from what Nonette know about the younger him back in the palace. He was about to ask another question when Nonette added another fact that caught his attention.

"Although I suspected that little Euphie believes that her long-lost brother might be Zangetsu when I was talking with her. Neither does Nelly know." Nonette added.

This made Zangetsu think back to the two encounters with his half-sister. The hotel and the phone call.

If you know that it was me, why didn't you told Cornelia? Did I exposed too much of myself for you think that it's me…? Zangetsu thought. He then looks at Nonette who is still under his Geass command.

"Tell me, Nonette? What would you do after you find the children of Vi Britannia?" he asked.

"I will make sure to convinced Lelouch to come back for Nunnally's sake as he cannot go on with this grudge and lashed out on Britannia for what happens. He never should hold grudge against his homeland and his own siblings for what happened. They don't deserve it. Though it might be impossible to persuasion his father, the Emperor to let Lelouch back. But most important help Lelouch find the one who kills Marianne somehow." Nonette explains.

'Nonette… you truly are a fool that you think you will help us. There is no way I will agree to go back...' Zangetsu thought coldly.

Not to mention that he won't let Nunnally go back to their so-called father. It will make everything that he works for the place Nunnally can live happily... becoming pointless. Being used for arranged marriage tool by that man! That is why he is going to destroy his ruling. Zangetsu is the one who works hard to ensure that his sister can walk again and build a place where she can do that! If Nonette thinks that he will ever forgive others, then she is sadly mistaken. He was the one who protected Nunnally after his other half-siblings abandoned them to die in that damn war!

If you really think that you can help me to find mother's murderer or provide leniency for us… you only cared about carried orders from him that I know about the Knights of Round… The former prince thought dark.

"Tell me, Nonette… why didn't you show up when we break in to rescue Todoh?" Zangetsu asked. Although he hears from Jeremiah about Nonette's account… he wants to confirm with his Geass.

"I was going there but I… I was going to my Knightmare, but I…" Nonette then suddenly remain silent. This made Zangetsu raised an eyebrow at her behavior.

Huh? She says that she is going to, but what stop her? Is there something other than my Geass on her? Zangetsu thought.

"Nonette, what is influence you to stop?" Nonette remained silent. 'Alright, so much for the easy way then.'

"Going back to my original question- what else do you remember?" Asked Zangetsu.

"I remember being caught… in an explosion in the prison."

"An explosion-" Suddenly an unexpected conclusion comes into Zangetsu immediately. 'You got to be kidding me…!'

"Nonette… are you, Genesis Rider Marika, aren't you?" Zangetsu asked.

But Nonette remains silent again. This made Zangetsu cursed before he trying to reword his question once again.

"Do you see any red buckle and lock with a picture of peach in your belongings?" Zangetsu asked.

"Yes… I do." Nonette said as this revealing her identity as Rider to them.

"But why do you keep them a secret?" Zangetsu inquired. There is no way that Nonette could keep this a secret from Cornelia and everyone else.

"Because I hear a voice told me to keep it a secret. Every time I used them, I always seem to black out and end up with an injury." Nonette explains. This gives Zangetsu a déjà vu when hearing she has a similar encounter like Shirley with her own Driver.

"Is that so? Hmm… this sound certainly familiar." Zangetsu remarked, "Tell me, Nonette. If I hope to clarify something bother me… does anyone else in the court and Knight of Rounds possess Lockseeds and Drivers? Anyone you know specifically?" he asked.

Nonette remains muted.

But it also means that no one else in the court and even the Knights of Round possessed them? Zangetsu sighed and decides to ask it in a different way.

"Have you seen anyone using them in the capital?" Zangetsu asked.

"There was this one time with a strange group of black armor individuals in pinecones like armors fight them, but no one finds out where they come from. Not even the OSI cannot find anything about them." Nonette said.

"So that is how it was so quiet in Britannia," Zangetsu muttered. He and others did wonder why Britannia was so clean without Inves presence.

He wasn't the only one who shared this thought as the Black Knights above the sand pits hear Nonette's words. Though they wait there if Nonette is going to resist, they seem confused about why Britannia don't find out about Inves or Rider armors except Nonette here.

"Do you have your Genesis Driver and Peach Energy Lockseed on you?" he asked.

"Yes," Nonette said.

"Can you show them to me?" Asked Zangetsu. With this, another set of weapons will be at his disposal. Not to mention taking down one of the knights will weaken Britannia's force.

"Certainly…" Nonette said, before showing them.

Zangetsu soon approached her and reaching out his hands for them. But he suddenly noticed strange veins within Nonette's face as she moved away from him immediately and his Geass doesn't seem to work on her anymore.

"What!?" Zangetsu gawked in shocked.

"PEACH ENERGY~!"

Nonette soon placed her Genesis Driver onto her waist as belt formed around her. It looks like that she really going to fight against him. Before she could even transform, everyone hears a loud sound and turned toward the source.

Coming down to the open sand area was Ayano's Burai with vibrate blade and a one-armed Sutherland. Zangetsu blinks. Why is Ayano holding one of the vibrate swords from the Lancelot? Isn't she supposed to be helping in stealing the Lancelot than playing a game with a Sutherland? But the Sutherland soon noticed Zangetsu in the sandpit.

"ZANGETSU! I WILL GET YOU BACK FOR STEALING MY LANCELOT!" The familiar voice of Sutherland's pilot shouted before charging at him. The white samurai knows that voice almost anywhere.

So they did manage to steal the Lancelot before Suzaku was sent… Zangetsu thought.

But before the Sutherland can even advance, the pilot didn't notice that few Burais were aiming their guns at the Sutherland.

"Get him!" Tamaki shouted as he and few others aimed at Suzaku's Sutherland.

Suzaku did dodge a couple of shots, but few of them hits one of Sutherland's leg and destroyed the joint to cripple the Sutherland.

Before the Sutherland stumble forward, Ayano used the vibrate sword slashed the cockpit open. Suddenly Suzaku was shoot out of the Knightmare and rolling across the sand itself. Suzaku tries to stop himself, but he finds that he couldn't before he was flying in the air and crashed straight into an unexpected target. It wasn't Zangetsu for certain. The White Rider watch strangely as Suzaku flying passed him in incredible speed without doing anything else. The target is none other than Nonette Enneagram, who is about to transform, she couldn't get away in time before causing the two collided in the process.

How in the world did that just happened? Zangetsu thought confused. He is certain that Suzaku will just stumble on his way down… but not flying straight at Nonette Enneagram!

Zangetsu soon saw Nonette's Genesis Driver and Peach Energy Lockseed nearby before snatching them and closed the Peach Energy Lockseed.

"That was certainly unexpected easy…" He muttered, looking at them. He thought that he will have to fight Nonette for her Genesis Driver and Peach Energy Lockseed. It must be his lucky day. He then turned to looks at Suzaku who is in a rather questionable position.

"You got to be kidding me…" Zangetsu deadpanned as he knows that Rivalz once told him about this situation in a cartoon.

Suzaku is on the sand with Nonette Enneagram, but what made it even more interesting and bizarre was that Suzaku's face is smutting in Nonette's chest.

"Why is it so dark?" Suzaku asked before he feeling whatever that was blinding his face… and finding it soft. Not to mention he heard strange sounds. "And what is that noise?"

Zangetsu is certain that others above are trying to hold their laughing at what the Honorary Britannian was doing to the poor female knight. He can hear muffle of laughing. Especially Tamaki himself who cannot resist to laughed at the traitor to Japan. He soon glances at the one who cuts the cockpit of Suzaku's Sutherland.

"Suzaku…" Todoh sighed with a disappointed tone at his former student.

"Can you explain how did this happen? There is no way that you plan for this to happen." Zangetsu questioned.

Ayano somewhat blushes with mouth opened at the scene. She didn't intend on that to happen. But how is it possible? But she is certain now that Suzaku really wishes that he died right now!

"I-I-I had no idea that this going to happened!" Ayano defensive. 'Though I have to make sure Lelouch isn't addictive to it if another woman with bigger bust come around…' A small part of her conscious said in her head.

"Okay…" Zangetsu said, "Then your mission wasn't a problem or anyone else getting in the way?" he asked.

"Y-Yeah," Ayano replied. "I am certain that they made to the coast without a problem. You should call Knuckle to be certain."

Zangetsu soon activated his communicator in his helmet and contact one of his Deputy Commanders.

"You're back already?" Zangetsu asked. "Did you received the package?"

"I see… They are removing any tracers made on it. Good." Said Zangetsu. "What about phase two of the mission?"

"I see. We will be back to the submarine soon." Zangetsu said. He soon heard a loud slap sound and turns around in time to see Nonette with a blush, slapping Suzaku away while Nonette covered her chest with her hand.

"That is going to leave a mark on that bastard…" Tamaki whispered with a smirk.

Todoh sighed and shaking his head in disappointment.

Suzaku regains his composition and noticed Nonette covering her chest and glaring at him intensely. He suddenly realized what he did and start crawling away slowly.

"K-Kururugi…" Nonette gritting her teeth as she glared at Suzaku.

"I-I'm sorry, Lady Enneagram!" Suzaku apologized.

"NOT ENOUGH!" Nonette growl before she went after him with a gun in hand. "I WILL MAKE YOUR DEATH PAINFUL AS POSSIBLE!"

Before Nonette going to kill Suzaku, the sound of bullets ring in the air and the two look at Zangetsu who fired his Musou Saber in the air to get their attention.

"Are you forgetting the position that you're in?" Asked Zangetsu.

"Zangetsu…" replied Suzaku with a glare.

"Suzaku Kururugi… I must admit that your entrance is rather unexpected and I never would think you would be a pervert." Zangetsu said in an amusing tone.

"I-It wasn't like that! I didn't mean it to happen!" Suzaku protested in embarrassment.

"Oh really?" Zangetsu asked. "You did it in front of me and my group. How will Euphemia react when learning her knight did a questionable thing to the Knight of Nine, I wonder? A traitor to Japan and a pervert, the worse combination for life."

Suzaku didn't know what to say and look away in shame.

"Silent won't help defend your action," Zangetsu stated.

"Zangetsu… how did you know that Kururugi kills his own father?" Nonette asked. That is something even Suzaku wanted to know.

"Kusakabe."

"Kusakabe?" Suzaku asked, surprised. "How did he…"

"That is easy," Zangetsu said. "He finds out about it before telling General Katase and Todoh. There is no doubt that he will use that information against you to make you joined his side for certain."

Suzaku clenched his teeth and felt ashamed as he recalled what he had done when he was ten.

"Suzaku, I want to ask you one thing," Zangetsu said. This made Suzaku looked at him.

"If Japan had fought to its very last breath seven years ago, what would have happened?" Zangetsu asked.

Suzaku was taken aback and paused a bit before answering.

"The Chinese Federation and the EU would have intervened," Suzaku answered, "Japan would have ended up being split into three. The fighting would continue even now to this very day."

"Exactly," Zangetsu replied, "this so-called peace if you can really call it that is the result of Japan's immediate and unconditional surrender."

"…That's right," Suzaku said, "and you should understand then... I do what I do for the sake of this peace even since it began. But you… Japanese look down upon me and my ways when you telling them the truth. How could you do this to the peace I fought for!" he demanded frustrated at the White Rider.

"Peace?" Zangetsu scoffed. "Don't make me laugh! It was never about peace for you! The only thing you cared about is saving your own soul and ignored the suffering of many in the world after what Britannia did to them! That is why you're so willing to put yourself at the edge of death!"

"That is not true!" Suzaku rebuked.

"It is true!" Zangetsu rebuked back, "Admit it, Kururugi! You may consider yourself as a protector, obsessing over saving as many lives as you can but in truth; all you really want to do is save and redeem your own soul! In fact, I believe that I know why you resent us, why you resent the Black Knights!"

"W-What?!" Suzaku replied in surprised again.

Ayano then joins in the conversation, "The reason is simple! Deep down, you're jealous of how much we accomplished and that you aren't noticed! A threat to your so-called redemption by changing Britannia from within!" she said, "The Black Knights will destroy the system and bring back Japan!"

"No! I won't allow it! This is not a way a country should be made! A country being spilled by blood!" Suzaku shouted.

"You forget that every nation been built on the blood of many?" Zangetsu said sound disgusted. "You're naïve, hopeless, coward… and a pervert!"

"Stop it," Suzaku responded sadly, "you just don't understand! You could never understand! You people are just self-centered who refuse to actually work within the system. You don't deserve that power when you kill so many people without remorse! You don't deserve call yourselves heroes: you're just a bunch of criminal!"

"This isn't about Japan or Zangetsu, it about what happened between you and your father, you fool!" Ayano stated, making Suzaku's eyes wide in shock.

"You only cared about saving yourself after killing your own father the Prime Minister! The reason you went to the battlefield and risk your damn life so you can find repent in death! But in the lives of many people whose lives were lost!" Ayano continued, glaring down at Suzaku. "You believed that fight against Britannia is wrong because that is why your father does before you kill him and sell your own soul to Britannians. You believed that by becoming their pet that you will be rewarded! But what you really are doing is destroying the lives and dreams of others for your own goal to keep your soul clean! You're nothing more than a coward!"

"That is far enough…" Nonette said, putting out her hand to shield Suzaku. This made Suzaku look surprised at the Knight of Nine.

"Lady Enneagram…" Suzaku said surprised.

"Never expect that you would come to defend him after he violated you," Zangetsu said.

"But I think you are the worse when it comes to bullied, Kururugi," Nonette said.

"Oh really, Nonette?" Zangetsu asked sarcastically. "If you cared about Kururugi, then why don't you tell him the real reason why you weren't there to help him at prison break? Or you are too scared that he will find out the truth?"

Nonette glared and gritting her teeth. Meanwhile, Suzaku looks confused at Nonette.

"You…" Nonette said angrily.

They were suddenly hearing a sound of static and it surprised them.

"Lady Enneagram, Major Kururugi, do you copy?" The voice of Fayer spoke through transmission, "If either of you can hear me, please respond!"

"Is that…?" Nonette asked.

"I take this," Suzaku said and then looked at Zangetsu, "do you mind?"

"No, go ahead," Zangetsu said.

Suzaku pressed the button on his communicator, "This is Major Kururugi."

"Excellent, is Lady Enneagram with you by any chance?" Fayer asked, "Is she safe?"

"Yes, I'm fine." Nonette responded, "I'm right here."

"That's good to hear from you Lady Enneagram," Fayer said.

"Yes, and may I ask who we're speaking to?" Nonette asked.

"Yes, this is Lieutenant Colonel Fayer, commander of Shikine Island." Fayer responded, "As of this moment, we'll be launching surface to surface missiles on the terrorists."

"Wait, what?" Nonette replied, surprised.

Suzaku, Zangetsu, and Ayano were shocked as well.

"Major Kururugi, your orders are to keep Zangetsu there," Fayer said, "but Lady Enneagram rest assure, my soldiers will be coming to get you out of there."

"Wait, a minute!" Nonette responded shocked.

"Huh?" Ayano asked, looking surprised. "I have been wondering when they're going to do that…"

"Hmph." Zangetsu looking at his group, "That is our signal to leaving now!"

The Black Knights understood what this means and soon ready to leave. Todoh's custom Gekka carried Rakshata before deactivated the Gefjun Disturbers. But Ayano stay behind to make sure that Zangetsu made into his first.

Nonette soon used this chance to get out her gun and fired at Zangetsu's Driver. But Zangetsu saw it and blocked it with his Melon Defender before firing bullets at Nonette, making her collapsed to the ground.

"Lady Enneagram!" Suzaku cried out as the Knight of Nine collapsed on the ground.

"It a surprised that the Knight of Nine will resort to such underhand method," Zangetsu said before soon jumps onto Club's shoulder.

"You won't get away!" Suzaku shouted before going after him and climbed onto Club's right hand.

"This is certainly going to make that princess cried," Zangetsu replied.

"You leave Euphie out of this!" Suzaku said angrily, "Don't try to drag her into this, not that you'll have the chance to do so after what you did to Lady Enneagram!"

"Sorry, Kururugi. But I have toys that I wanted to play with. Club, we're leaving." Zangetsu said as Club's eyes flicker and starting to move on his own. "I am not going down with you in your stupid death wish." He added.

"W-What?!" Suzaku looks shocked before Club flickered Suzaku off his right arm with his metal fingers. This caused Suzaku fall straight to the ground. Suzaku looking at Zangetsu and his Knightmare in disbelief, holding his chest in pain as he watching them leaving.

Zangetsu soon jumps into the cockpit before it closes and he looks at Ayano.

"We're leaving now," Zangetsu said as the Club fired on the Bedivere and damaged Nonette's Knightmare. The two Knightmares soon left in a hurry.

Just in time when Gloucesters arrived at the sandpit where Suzaku Kururugi and Nonette Enneagram were trapped in.

"Lady Enneagram, are you alright?" One of the Britannian soldiers asked.

"You have to get her help!" Shouted Suzaku frankly to one of them, "Zangetsu shots her!"

"We will!" One of the soldiers said before helping the wounded Knight of Nine.

"Can one of you let me borrowing your Sutherland?" Suzaku asked frankly to one of the Britannian soldiers. "This is important!"

"O-Of course, Sir Kururugi!" One of the Britannian soldiers said.

"Kururugi, what are you doing!?" Nonette questioned.

"I am following my order!" Suzaku said before getting into the Gloucester.

"You fool!" Nonette said before her wound caused her to fall straight into unconsciousness.

Euphemia soon runs off immediately to the hanger where there is a single Gloucester there.

"Your Highness! Where are you going!?" Cecile questioned seriously

"I need to stop him!" The pink haired princess said seriously. "I cannot let Kururugi break his promise to me!"

Though many would wonder how is it possible for someone like Euphemia who been living a sheltered life while her sister is commander of the army? That Cornelia won't want her own sister to risk her life when Knightmare involved. The answer is simple. She asks her sister in teaching her in case she needs to use a Knightmare to escape or trying to find her sister if she gets caught in an accident during one of her battles. It takes several pleadings before Cornelia gives in to teach her own sister on how to drive a Knightmare safely.

She activated the Gloucester and pushed on the acceleration as she zooming out of the hanger.

The Black knights and their leader are making their way back to the meeting point where the Black Knights' submarine supposed to be.

"Zangetsu, incoming missiles!" Ayano said after looking at her radar.

Zangetsu turns around to spot the barrage of missiles in the air. He soon throws the Melon Defender directly at the incoming missiles to destroy them, but few more coming out of the smoke. Ayano soon made her Burai jumped up into the air and slashed the other ones with her vibrate sword.

The two soon continued their way with others onto the rendezvous point. There they saw the submarine and their way off Shikine Island.

Just when they thought that they were almost clear when shoots blast and made the Knightmares stumbled backward from the explosion.

"What in the world was that…?" Ayano asked, confused.

"There is something airborne in the sky." Club said.

Suddenly there was a large shadow looming over Zangetsu and his comrades. They all cannot help but look shocked at the sight of the large airship in the sky.

"What in the world?" Todoh asked.

"That…" Zangetsu looks shocked at the airship and knows who it belonged to, "What the hell is he doing here?"

After getting close to where Suzaku and Nonette supposed to be, Euphemia is also shocked of seeing the airship in the air and she recognized it almost anywhere.

"The Avalon," Euphemia said, "what is brother Schneizel doing here?" she asked.

Kallen is watching the submarine as she making certain that the Black Knights made into the submarine before she looks out to see Todoh led a force of Burai with missile launchers aiming at the large airship into the sky.

"Hurry! We have to make sure that Zangetsu comes back!" Shouted Todoh as he and the small forces hurry with their firing.

Kallen turns to see Zangetsu and Ayano are also trying to attack the airship. But all of the attacks failed as the Blaze Luminous covered the airship.

However, Club suddenly noticed a Gloucester charged at him and pinned him straight to the ground.

"You aren't going anyway!" Suzaku shouted angrily.

"You're truly pathetic, Kururugi." Zangetsu retort cold.

"Let go of him, you bastard!" Ayano demanded coldly before using the vibration blade and slashing off one of the Gloucester's arm. Club using this chance to move away, but Suzaku won't let him go with the other arm.

Ayano about to help Zangetsu when her Burai got hit by shots from other Gloucesters who advanced onto them.

"Todoh-sensei, a little help here?" Ayano asked through communication.

"I'm coming right there!" Todoh said as he and his forces hurry to helped Zangetsu and Ayano against the Gloucesters who fired at them. "Kozuki, we need your help!"

"I-I'm coming!" Kallen shouted as she soon hurries to the sight of the battlefield and helped.

"You really wanted to die so badly…? Then don't get pinned us down with you!" Club snapped before slammed his fist straight into the chest of Gloucester several times before knocked Suzaku to the ground.

"You're nothing more than a sore eye." Zangetsu shouted angrily, "Club, we're getting out of here alive!"

He soon swaps his Sengoku Driver with his Genesis Driver.

"MELON ENERGY~!"

He soon inserts the Energy Lockseed into the Genesis Driver.

"SODA~! MELON ENERGY ARMS!"

Soon Zangetsu donned his armor as Zangetsu-Shin. The energy radiation from his Genesis form seem to have an impact on Club and the Knightmare shows a large orange shoulder pad on the right and small silver shoulder pad on the left. The eyes are orange now. In the hand of Club is a larger version of Sonic Arrow.

Club noticed the Gloucesters fired at him and Ayano before released an energy slash which knocked off the Gloucesters, causing them to be destroyed.

"Here is a welcoming gift…" Zangetsu-Shin said before the Club fired an energy arrow at the Avalon.

The Avalon conjured shield again and block the attack. But the unexpected thing happens as the arrow created a crack in the barrier and damage part of the airship, causing smoke arise from the airship. Club continued firing arrows at some vital spots of Avalon to further damaged it. But the Avalon seem to ready to fire a laser beam at them.

"You really are desperate after what happened…" Zangetsu-Shin said before reaching for his Seaboll Compressor.

"PLEASE STOP THIS!" A familiar voice shouted as Zangetsu-Shin's eyes widen in shock. It wasn't just him, but Suzaku who looked shocked.

Euphemia running after disembark from her Gloucester and trying to stop the battle despite not knowing what is going on.

"Euphemia, you shouldn't be here!" Zangetsu-Shin yelled, "Run away!"

"Princess Euphemia!" Suzaku screamed as the princess mortified of what could happen, "Your Highness, run away! Please run away from here!"

Zangetsu-Shin and Ayano soon turned away as they trying to make a run along with Todoh and others as they trying to run away from the attack. But the cannon blast soon hits the ground and destroying everything it supposed to be.

V.V. was standing somewhere that he can watch the battle and grin.

"With this, everything will be going as I planned." V.V. said, "If everything falls into place then they will fall into an inescapable script of fate. Especially for you, my dear nephew… Lelouch." he said.

He planned on Lelouch being transported straight to Kamine Island and there he will activate a certain device that will make Lelouch's Geass grown for a twist of fate upon him. Then it will eventually cause the former prince to fall into madness and despair.

But unknown to V.V. that his plan might work perfectly, but he forgets a vitally important detail when a process with this plan. The only way for V.V.'s plan to work… if Lelouch wasn't a Rider in the first place.

Zangetsu-Shin let out a groan before he regains consciousness and finds himself stares at the wood of Helheim.

"Okay… How did I end up here?" Zangetsu-Shin asked shocked. "Everyone? Where are you?"

There was no response in the forest, he then looks at the Club Lockseed and seeing no reaction. Whatever teleporting here seem to affect his communication with his Knightmare. Zangetsu-Shin suddenly hears a groaning sound and hurry to it before he saw Kyoshiro Todoh on the ground.

"Todoh, are you alright?" Zangetsu-Shin asked.

Todoh soon regained consciousness before getting himself up.

"Zangetsu…" Todoh said. "What in the world happened? And what is this place?" he asked. Not to mention where exactly is his Knightmare?

"This… is Helheim forest," Zangetsu-Shin answered as the older man looks around caution.

"So this is the place… where the Inves from?" Todoh asked, raised an eyebrow. "But how?"

"I'm not sure how exactly. But if you are here, it would mean that some of our members might accident got dropped into the forest as well." Zangetsu-Shin said grimly. This is certainly one thing he doesn't want to happen.

"Then we need to get them out of here," Todoh said seriously. He hears from Zangetsu about what happens if someone ate fruit from here, he doesn't want Senba or Asahina suffered the same fate as Kusakabe.

"We will," Zangetsu-Shin said before tabbing into communicator of his helmet. While they looking for others, Zangetsu-Shin needs to make sure everything is fine in their world.

(Kamine Island)

Suzaku opened his eyes and panted. Suzaku was looking up at the sky and realized what was going on. He was on the sandy beach of an unknown island and looking up at the sky. Suzaku was wide-eyed and quickly sat up.

"Zangetsu!" Suzaku spoke and then he calmed down and looked around, "Where am I? Where's the Lancelot?" Suzaku paused and looked up the sky, "How did I end up here?" Suzaku got up and then he got worried when he recalled seeing Euphie running toward the fight, "Euphie, I hope she's safe. Please let her be safe."

After transforming into her Rider form, Habakiri soon scouts around the forest of Helheim before walking toward the cliff.

"How in the world did I end up here?" Habakiri asked confused.

Meanwhile, Kallen is walking through the forest with her Sengoku Driver on her waist. She looks around the woods confused.

"Why am I here?" The redhead wondered confused. The last thing she remembers was fleeing from the blast and ends up waking in this place.

Back on Kamine Island, Suzaku is still trying to figure out what is going on and looking for clues on where he could be.

"Just I thought, I'm on another island," Suzaku said. "But how far am I from Shikine Island?"

Suzaku walks in and tries to figure out what he should do.

"It's impossible to make contact without an intercom," Suzaku said, "the only thing that I can do is find food and drinkable water."

Suzaku continued walking before he hears an 'Achoo' sound and stops, he then spotted some flicker of pink nearby. He then gets closer to see who it was and his eyes went wide.

"Euphie!" Suzaku shouted.

It was none other than Euphemia, but she is on the ground and that she is sneezing and her clothes are wet.

"S-Suzaku…?" Euphemia asked, looking up at her knight, "I-Is that really you…?"

"Are you cold?" Suzaku asked. There is no doubt that she has more, unfortunately, luck of landing near the coast.

"Sorry… It just that I land near the water…" Euphemia said before sneezed once again.

"It's fine…" Suzaku said before taking off his jacket and lend it to her. "Don't worry, Euphie! I will get fire start quickly!" he said.

Zangetsu-Shin and Todoh continued moving through the woods as they trying to find out where others could be. Though Todoh might be wary of the new surroundings, his attention focused on Zangetsu-Shin.

"Lelouch, there is something I want to ask… how did emperor know you were alive?" Todoh asked.

"I am certain that I covered my tracks back then. But something doesn't feel right…" Zangetsu-Shin replied. "Even if he thinks that I survived… he still knows that I am alive somehow."

"I agree. Something is certainly off with the Knight of Nine says. Not because she somehow being that Rider from before. Do you have a plan if you and Nunnally were found out?" Todoh asked. The last thing he wants was Lelouch and Nunnally being forced back to their homeland.

"I do. But I will also continue onward with rebellion against Britannia." Zangetsu-Shin answered.

Before they can continue their conversation, they heard a screaming as the two men moved forward. Once they got there, they saw Kurokage on the ground being beaten up by Inves with Asahina and Senba trying to fire their guns at the Inves, but their weapons aren't effective.

"Asahina! Senba!" Todoh shouted to his men. His two members of Holy Swords saw him and rush toward his side.

"Colonel Todoh, it good to see you alive," Senba said with relief.

"Take this!" Zangetsu-Shin snapped before pulling back the shaft of his Sonic Arrow and fired several energy arrows at the Inves.

The arrows soon soar into the air and destroyed the Inves immediately. Kurokage looks up and seeing Zangetsu-Shin standing there.

"T…Thanks a lot," Kurokage said, struggling to get himself up.

"Hope you didn't break anything, Tamaki," Zangetsu-Shin said.

"Zangetsu! How did the hell we end up in this freaking place?" Asahina questioned seriously.

"I had no sufficient explanation to satisfy you." Zangetsu-Shin said as he looking at the men he has with him, "but others seem stuck here like us when we hit by that blast."

"What about everyone else in the submarine? Did they made out alright?" Senba asked.

"I managed to contact Ohgi about what happens. He says that they got away and manages to extract your Knightmares that were still on Shikine Island. They noticed that all of the ejected pods in them were gone and originally believed that we would out in the sea." Zangetsu-Shin explain.

"So the ejected pods were activated… but we somehow end up here in this freak place?" Senba asked. Todoh nodded.

"It looks like we're for the meantime." He said. Asahina sighed.

"This is just great…"

"I am not sure… but don't you think this is really strange that we end up in the forest instead of the ocean?" Kurokage wondered out loudly.

"My thoughts are the same." Zangetsu-Shin agreed, "Although it will take too long to find others…" he said before looking at the Helheim fruits nearby and approached them.

"What are you doing?" Asahina asked before Zangetsu-Shin starting picking up some of them. They soon witness how the fruits transformed into Lockseeds. But they weren't just any regular Lockseeds, but LockVehicle Lockseeds.

"How is that possible?" Senba asked surprised.

"It comes from the suit." Said Zangetsu-Shin before activating them.

In a flash, they soon find themselves with five hoover bikes with dandelion designs on them. Todoh and his men look surprised.

"Look at these bikes…" Senba whistled in surprised.

"Who says that we should travel by foot?" Zangetsu-Shin asked smugly. "Does any of you want to give it a try?"

Todoh looks at the Dandeliners and got on one of them before moving the thrusters. The older man finds himself moving around the woods in fast speed. It wasn't long until Todoh makes it back to others and looking at Senba and Asahina, both of them look shocked and disbelief.

"Senba. Asahina. With these, we will have higher grounds and advantages against the residents of this world. Get on." Todoh said.

Both of them were hesitated about riding these hover bikes, if Todoh says it alright to ride on them then they had no choice but to comply. They soon got on their respective bikes and adjusting to riding on it for a while before getting used to it.

With that done, the two Riders join them in their exploration of the forest and searching for the other Black Knights.

Portman Knightmare Frames were underwater as they continued their search for the missing Princes Euphemia and also looking for the members of Black Knights who manage to escape. Meanwhile deep in the ocean was the Black Knights' submarine was currently in the safe zone that being out of reach from being detected by radar.

In the mess hall, the remaining core members are still worried about what happened back after a day passed. Rakshata wasn't present as she excused herself to examine the toy that they stole from Lloyd.

"I still think we should help them," Diethard said.

"No, I think it better that we stay here and wait until they return," Ohgi said firm. Not to mention that they still wait for Rai's group who still investigating Kamine Island about their finding.

"This organization is built around Lelouch," Diethard said.

"But it cannot be an organization without members." Ohgi rebuked. "I trust them in getting back to the submarine as soon as possible. But most focus on Lelouch since he has far more experience to help the group survived." He said. But deep down, he is worried about Kallen and Tamaki come back alive.

"But don't you think it unfair that we putting this all on him?" Diethard asked.

"I'm well aware that he made things possible for us after Shinjuku," Ohgi said, "even now he still does the same after telling us who he was and reasoning to fight Britannia."

"Indeed… but sometime we should do more for those who lead us," Diethard replied.

"Hmm… how about we wait until Rai and others come back?" Naomi asked. "With them back, it will be possible to plan if something did happen to Zangetsu and others."

Diethard thought about and nodded. "I guess that could work." He said.

"What is your thought about Nonette woman being a Rider?" Minami asked.

"I am surprised as you are. Never imagined that she got her hand such devices." Diethard said lividly. "But this brought question on what caused her to keep her identity a secret anyway? Back in the homeland, I never hear such claims about Inves there until now." This also makes him interested in uncovering the secret of this unknown organization and how they kept things hidden from Britannia.

"If she revealed such stuff, it would've to make fighting against Britannia being more dangerous," Ohgi said grimly.

"If Britannia does have a hand on stuff like Genesis Drivers… who do you think they would likely give them to?" Sugiyama asked.

"It will be those with more military combat experiences especially other Knights of Round. It could even be the Knight of One, Bismarck Waldstein. He is the strongest and most loyal to the Emperor alone." Diethard said.

"Thinking about this too much will do us nothing… why don't we just take a break for today?" Yoshida added as everyone seem to be fine with the idea.

Soon everyone except Ohgi and Naomi staying behind the messing hall.

"You are worried about Kallen being there, right?" Naomi asked, knowing his promise to Naoto.

"Of course, I did promise Naoto. Though I felt a bit bad for Tamaki to being stuck… Hopefully, he won't end up being kill…" Ohgi said.

Unknown to them, C.C. watching them quiet before wandering down the hallway. She already dressed in the black knight uniform for herself. It looks like she won't need to intervene between them.

She soon turns around and starts walking through the hallway. She knows that someone is responsible for transporting Lelouch and others after the blast. And why that person went through that plan.

"It's a surprise… that V.V.'s plan for sending Lelouch to Kamine Island failed. No doubt he is cursing right now." C.C. muttered quietly. This is the first time she ever witnesses that V.V.'s plan to actually fail.

The green hair girl is right about the other immortal code bearer who seem to be in shock. The sound of V.V.'s scream of frustration could be heard he cannot find Lelouch anywhere on Kamine island. The immortal blonde midget is bashing his head against a large marble wall couple of times despite his injuries keep healing due to his immortal status.

"Damn it! Why the hell am I so stupid?" V.V. cursed in agony as he continued bashing his head. "That plan only works if he didn't have his armor on in the first place!"

Soon he stops and let out a breathing, "It doesn't matter… if he isn't there or not. Even if he gather more supports, there is one thing that he cannot get," His violet colored eyes soon focused on the scene of Suzaku and Euphemia huddling against the campfire. "Yes… This could work nicely." He said as his Darkness Lockseed seem to be glowing.

Habakiri continued to wander through the forest as she trying to find Zangetsu-Shin and others before she heard movements nearby. She soon hides behind a tree and peeks out who was out there before her eyes wide in surprise.

Ryo and Yukiya… Habakiri thought as she spotted their Rider forms with Kurokage Troopers.

The troopers seem to be harvesting Lockseeds while Bravo and Gridon are protecting them. Habakiri watching them carefully before following them from behind secretly. She will meet up with others later… but making sure that her friends are safe.

Even though the odds against me… I will find a way to bring you guys back to normal, Habakiri thought serious.

It wasn't long until both Euphemia and Suzaku went to sleep for the night after eating the fishes and berries that Suzaku catch.

However, the princess couldn't sleep and look out at the stars above her. Watching the stars remind her of the younger time that she shared with her sister, Lelouch, Nunnally, and Lady Marianne. It wasn't because the talk she has with Suzaku about how he reckless charged. She cannot help wonder how things turned out like this when she and Suzaku been stranded on the island. She is certainly something like this is impossible in the first place!

Suzaku says that he didn't find Zangetsu here… but I am certain that the white samurai is here, Euphemia thought. After all, there is something that she desperately wanted to ask him and that involved his identity.

While she is in deep thought, she wasn't aware strange vines crawling toward her like snakes before latching onto her feet.

It wasn't long until a pitch of screaming being heard as Suzaku awakened. He hearing his princess screamed and seeing her being dragged away by… vines!?

"Euphie!?" Suzaku shouted before getting up and ran after her.

"Suzaku, help me!" The pink hair princess screamed in panic and afraid. She didn't know what happened before the vines caught her and dragging her against her free will.

"I'm coming, Euphie!" Suzaku shouted before running after her from behind. But the vines that pulled Euphie was faster than him.

Damn, I don't have a sword or I could cut the vines… Suzaku thought as he continued moving after the princess. He is also against shooting since he could end up harming Euphie in the process.

Just then he saw where the vines are taking her… a strange zipper like a hole with a foreign forest on the other side.

"Suzaku!" Euphemia screamed before she was taken into the Crack dimension.

"Euphie, hang on!" Suzaku said as he prepared to jump into the Crack. But something else prevents him from going through the forest as a crimson color fist coming out of the hole and punched him straight in the gut.

This sends Suzaku backward and falls straight into unconsciousness on the ground. The Crack that taken Euphemia soon slowly disappeared. What will befall the pink princess in another dimension?

It wasn't long until Zangetsu-Shin and others find what seems to be like a deserted research post in the forest itself before they landed there.

"Strange… aren't there usually people here or other Kurokages?" Kurokage asked as he noticed how quiet the place was.

"There still equipment here, it most likely that the Inves must get them." Zangetsu-Shin theorized before he felt a presence in the tent and spotted someone emerged.

"My Lord, I am surprised that you're here." Bujin Gaim said, carried a small suitcase with his other hand.

"Bujin Gaim, may I know why you are here?" Zangetsu-Shin inquired as he lows his guard down a bit. Though others seem to surprise due to another Rider presence here.

"I was hoping to find a lead on Tyrant before I find this place abandoned." Bujin Gaim explains.

"I see. What is that you're carrying?" The white Genesis Rider inquired about the suitcase.

"It was something that one belongs to a fallen man." Bujin Gaim said before he brought up the case and opened it to show them.

Inside there is a Genesis Driver and an Energy Lockseed with the picture of blackberry. The Energy Lockseed also has the code 'E.L.S.-06'. This made Kurokage, Todoh, Asahina, and Senba look surprised as Zangetsu-Shin move forward and take out the Genesis Driver from the case.

The white Rider soon went into a nearby table as he placed it there and he disassembled the Driver carefully.

"What are you doing?" Kurokage questioned, but the white Genesis Rider is busy with his work carefully. It wasn't long until Zangetsu-Shin reassembled the Genesis Driver and looks at everyone.

"It looks like this is still operational," Zangetsu-Shin said, showing the Driver.

"But what were you doing early?" Asked Todoh curious. He, Asahina, and Senba are not familiar with the device like Zangetsu-Shin.

"Making sure that there wasn't self-destruction device and I am glad that it wasn't in there yet," Zangetsu-Shin explains, making them look surprised. Zangetsu-Shin soon explains thing careful for them. "It for making sure no one going used the Driver against the ones who created them." That is something that Zangetsu-Shin himself would do if someone in his organization betrayed him and used Genesis Driver against him. Or even dared to use his own Genesis Driver against him.

"I see…" Todoh said before Zangetsu-Shin tossed the Genesis Driver and Blackberry Energy Lockseed to him. Todoh caught them and looks at the white Rider with a surprised expression.

"If I remember correctly that you used to practice Archery, right?" Zangetsu-Shin asked.

"Yeah, I do before the invasion." Todoh said, "Are you certain that you want me to have these?" he asked unsurely. Even Asahina and Senba look surprised that Zangetsu-Shin wanted Todoh to have them.

"In the distant future, I can tell you that we might have a lot of enemies to face and there could be opposing Genesis Riders after we get Japan back. It won't do great if Todoh the Miracle cannot fight back even to protect his nation and allies... but only you're willing to step onto the challenge that will come," Zangetsu-Shin explains as Todoh ponders about the devices in his hands.

Just then the men hear a feminine scream, but Zangetsu-Shin and Bujin Gaim recognized that voice almost anywhere and look at each other. But how she ended up here is something beyond the question.

"Who was that just now?" Kurokage wondered out loud.

"Sir, do you think that—"

"There is no time to lose, we got to move now," Zangetsu-Shin said to everyone.

With nothing else to do, Zangetsu-Shin and his allies soon started running through the woods. They do see a lot of Inves, but what caught their attention is that a certain pink hair princess was in the middle… It was none other than Euphemia who seems to be in pain.

"Euphemia!" Zangetsu-Shin shouted before running toward his half-sister. He got out his Sonic Arrow and fired at the Inves with energy arrows that sent them into oblivion!

"BLOOD ORANGE AU LAIT!"

Bujin Gaim let out a roar before he swings his Daidaimaru to destroy the Inves with crimson energy slashes as he helping his lord to reach the princess in time.

Kurokage is battling the Inves with his Kagematsu before pushing down his Cutting Blade once.

"SOIYA! MATUSBOKKURI SQUASH!"

He soon comes down with a flying screw kick that destroyed the three Elementary Inves in process. But he was soon got hit by a powerful fireball from a flying Inves.

"COME ON! BANANA AU LAIT!"

Baron soon charged forward and thrust her Banaspear into the air and caused the Inves exploded into the air. She then turned around and smacked the Elementary Inves who were nearby and destroyed them in the process.

"Kallen, I am so glad that I see you!" Kurokage said happily to see her.

Baron didn't say anything as her attention focused on Zangetsu-Shin and Bujin Gaim… with Princess Euphemia!?

"How did she end up here?" Baron asked shocked and confused.

Meanwhile, Zangetsu-Shin and Bujin Gaim hurry to the pink princess as Zangetsu-Shin is going over her injuries until he discovered… something shock.

"Oh no… she got the disease," Zangetsu-Shin said, looking at the green glowing scar on her abdomen and right arm. There are small vines growing out of them.

"Can't she be cured?" Bujin Gaim asked curious and worried at the same time. He heard the disease, but he never imagined to find out that Euphemia would get infected by the Inves.

Suddenly Euphemia slowly opened her eyes and looks at the two Riders, but her attention focuses mainly on the white Genesis Rider.

"Z-Zangetsu…is that really you?" Euphemia asked weakly.

"Save your strength, Princess Euphemia," Zangetsu-Shin said softly to his half-sister.

"P-Please tell me… is that red monster went…?" Euphemia asked, reaching out with her other hand and touched his helmet. "Is Suzaku alright?"

Zangetsu-Shin remains quiet as he wasn't sure how to respond. 'If Suzaku ends up here like Euphie, then…' his thoughts stop when he seeing Euphemia is screaming in pain from the disease of Helheim began to spread.

"Not here… I need to get her back to the submarine. There is no way Britannia hospital can fix this," Zangetsu-Shin said before Bujin Gaim carried Euphemia in his arm. He and Bujin Gaim soon met back with others as they all noticed that Euphemia's unusual injuries.

"What is up with the princess?" Asahina asked.

"Something of great dangerous…" Zangetsu-Shin said with a grim and stoic tone, "She has been exposed to the disease of this forest."

This made them look shocked when hearing about the disease of Helheim.

"Then do we kill her?" Kurokage asked.

"We will not!" Zangetsu-Shin barked defensively as this made Kurokage flinched, "it will bring consequences on us if we let her die here!" There is no way he will let the second sister that he cared.

"He is right. I assumed that you know how to slow it down?" Todoh asked stern.

Before Zangetsu-Shin could respond, they heard a loud crack exploded nearby and they turned around to see what looks like a figure in the crimson smoke mist.

"What in the world is that?" Baron and Kurokage asked at the same time.

Soon the crimson mist faded to reveal the being within. It is black and crimson humanoid with red cape behind and yellow glowing eyes. In his hand is a massive broadsword.

"Another Inves…?" Todoh asked before noticed the Inves holding a weapon. "But why does it have a weapon?" he asked confused.

"So you are the one who responsible for what happened to her…" Zangetsu-Shin growl, glaring intensely at the being. "Overlord!"

The crimson Overlord glared at him before releasing a powerful roar that forced Zangetsu-Shin and his associated to move back despite the painful sound in their ear.

"What should we do, my lord?" Bujin Gaim asked. "We cannot fight while Euphemia's life at risk…"

"Bujin Gaim, I need you opened a portal for others to get back to the submarine," Zangetsu-Shin explained as Bujin Gaim started doing so. "Once you there, you all will tell Ohgi Kaname about what happened and arranged help for our special guest. Tell him to slow down the infections. Bujin Gaim, I then want you to come back and helped out." He said, looking down at his half-sister.

"What are you going to do?" Kurokage asked.

"I am going to stop this thing so you lot can get out of here," Zangetsu-Shin said seriously before he soon charged forward at the crimson Overlord.

Bujin Gaim soon complied with his lord's request before he summoned a portal for everyone here. Bujin Gaim with Princess Euphemia steps into the Crimson colored Crack.

"We better get inside," Todoh said to others while keeping an eye on Zangetsu-Shin who engaged in combat with the Inves that he referring as Overlord.

He wasn't the only one, but Baron is watching him battle against the Overlord. Though she wants to get in… but she cannot help wonder if that means she will have to use the Genesis Driver and Energy Lockseed given to her.

But she cannot help thinking about when Lelouch revealed himself and the fact that she was Geassed by him… she doesn't know if she can truly trust the person behind the helmet.

How can I even used it when I don't know if I don't know that I am still a puppet under his control? Baron thought before she did one thing and that leaving for the crack.

Ohgi is the first person approached Kallen and Tamaki after they come back through the red crack.

"You guys are back!" Ohgi said with relief.

"Yeah… it was a pain being in that fucking place," Tamaki said. Kallen, on the other hand, didn't say anything else.

"Is that Princess Euphemia?" Diethard asked, looking surprised to see Bujin Gaim carried her.

"What is she doing here?" Yoshida asked confused.

Ohgi is surprised to see Bujin Gaim but his attention focused on the pink princess's injuries, "these are…"

"My lord, Zangetsu have an order for you." Bujin Gaim said, "Princess Euphemia is infected by the disease in the forest. He needs your help in slowing it down."

"A disease?" Rakshata asked, raising an eyebrow at the pink princess's illness. "What on earth?"

This caught the other members of former Kozuki cell in shocked.

"No way..." Naomi gasped.

"You don't mean that she…" Yoshida uttered in shock.

"There is no time to explain," Ohgi said, serious. "We need to get her straight to the medical room as possible. Following me in a hurry!" He said before leading Bujin Gaim to the medical room on the submarine.

"Place her here there!" Bujin Gaim soon placed Euphemia on the empty patient bed and she is still screaming in pain from the disease. "Make sure she is still okay," Ohgi said before going to the back shelves in searching for the tools.

Other members of Black Knights come in as they want to know if Ohgi needs any assistance and some of them including Rakshata, Diethard, Todoh and his two men were curious about how he is going to helped.

Soon Ohgi comes back with two objects in his hands. Zangetsu told him that this is the only way to slow down the infection despite how painful it could be. Though the method is questionable, Ohgi sees it better than letting the victims being kill. In his hands are hot irons that been turned up!

"Why are you doing?!" Diethard questioned the sanity of the Second Command. Even Rakshata and Todoh seem confused by Ohgi's choice of tools. Why in the world does he need hot iron?

"This is the only way to slow down the infection by placing intense heat," Ohgi said before slowly approaching the pink princess. "After seeing it weaken, it will be the only time to bondage the injuries and keep eye on the patient."

"I see…" Rakshata said, getting curious about the questionable method of treating the illness.

Ohgi looked down at Euphemia with pity for caught the disease. Though he wished that Lelouch is the one who here doing this. "Forgive me for doing this…" he said before placing the irons on where the infections are located.

This caused Euphemia screamed in pain.

Back in the forest, Zangetsu-Shin and the crimson Overlord fought each other with their weapons collided with each other as sparks flying in the air. The Overlord then jumps back and summoned the Helheim vines against the white Genesis Rider.

Zangetsu-Shin brought up his Sonic Arrow and fired at the vines and destroyed them. He then fired arrows at the crimson Overlord who then vanished into the crimson mist and vanished completely.

Zangetsu-Shin got out his Melon Energy Lockseed and placed it carefully in the slot of Sonic Arrow. From his behind, the crimson Overlord jump from a cliff and ready to swing his sword down on him.

"Got you…" Zangetsu-Shin turned around and fired the arrow at him.

"MELON ENERGY CHARGE!"

The arrow struck him on the left side of the stomach, causing the Overlord to collapse to the ground as an energy shaped melon materialized above him and rain thousands of arrows down upon him.

Zangetsu-Shin watching the Overlord struggled against the rain of arrows before they were finished. The Overlord Inves looks weaken by the smoke emitting from his body and the yellow eyes glaring hard at him.

"I won't let… puny ape crushed me…" The Overlord growl as he got himself back up.

"So you do speak our language… I thought it will be harder due to the language barrier." Zangetsu-Shin said before opened his visor to his left eye. Though he knows that it might not work… but he is still curious for reaction. "I ordered you to obey my orders!" he questioned before activated his Geass.

"You cannot control the mighty Demushu with a stupid magic trick, you lowly ape!" The Overlord, now named Demushu, growling angrily.

So Geass really don't effect Overlord… Zangetsu-Shin thought before his visor return. But he did learn at least the name of the one who responsible for infected his half-sister.

"So Demushu…" Zangetsu-Shin looks at Overlord, "Tell me… What is your goal here?" he questioned.

"To know if the puny ape is strong… then I can crush them." Demushu answered vicious, "Puny apes are inferior to me!"

"So you think we're degraded? I am not the one who is responsible for what happened to this world and letting everything else went into ruin." Zangetsu-Shin retort to Demushu's boasting. "For what? A stupid fruit that destroyed everything else? I think your kind is the foolish ones!"

Zangetsu-Shin's words seem to caused Demushu to become angry than before. "You dared to insult my kind and the Golden fruit, puny apes!?" Demushu growl as crimson aura emitting around him.

"I do…" Zangetsu-Shin said.

Demushu let out a roar as Zangetsu-Shin soon noticed that his wounds are healed up after his attacks and charged at him.

"DURIAN AU LAIT!"

"COME ON! DONGURI AU LAIT!"

Zangetsu-Shin look surprised to see both Bravo and Gridon try to attack Demushu from behind with their attacks. The attacks didn't seem to affect Demushu at all. But he doesn't look amused at either of them before sending them back with a swing of his sword.

Then there are the Kurokage-Shin Troopers who then advanced forward at Demushu with their Kagematsu-Shin. Demushu's eyes glowing before used the vines to entrapped Bravo, Gridon, and the Kurokage Troopers before bashing them hard in their head. The Overlord wasn't done yet as he channeled energy into his vines as he sends electroshock on them.

Zangetsu-Shin soon fired two energy arrows onto the vines held on Bravo and Gridon. This caused the two fall straight to the ground and their transformation been reversal while the Kurokage Troopers were killed in the process.

Demushu about to go after the unconscious Riders before Habakiri piloted in the Suika Arm emerged out of the forest and tackled the Overlord backward. Zangetsu-Shin did wonder if she been following her old friends as he helped her by firing energy arrows at Demushu who then cast a barrier to protect himself.

"SOIYA! SUIKA SPARKLING!"

Habakiri then focused the power into her Suika Sojinto and slashed Demushu with double energy slashes. Demushu takes in the attacks before channeled them into his sword and slashed at Habakiri in the process of destroying her Suika Arms.

Habakiri fell out of her mecha suit and was caught by Zangetsu-Shin in his arms.

"Thanks…" Habakiri said before Zangetsu-Shin let her down gently. Habakiri soon donned her main Arms once again and stand ready with him.

Demushu soon charged at them, forced the two gone in opposite direction to avoid the blow. Zangetsu-Shin got his attention by firing his arrows at him while Habakiri swings her dual blades on Demushu. After seeing her coming, Demushu turned around and swings his sword on Habakiri who did her best to block the attacks. But she cannot help feeling the power behind Demushu blows before she was sent skidding backward and closed to where her friends were unconscious.

"Stay here and look after your friends," Zangetsu-Shin said before charging at Demushu.

Demushu soon calls the power within him again and made the tree branches attack him. Zangetsu-Shin saw them and swings his Sonic Arrow to counter the blows. While he was distracted, Demushu soon summoned vines as the white Rider exposed his back to him.

"SODA~! CHERRY ENERGY SQUASH!"

"SODA~! BLACKBERRY ENERGY SQUASH!"

But not before two powerful arrows shot across the field and hit Demushu hard, forcing the Overlord Inves to stagger few feet back. Zangetsu-Shin and Habakiri turned around to see Sigurd and another new Genesis Rider that they have never seen before. But Zangetsu-Shin noticed that he wore the Genesis Driver with the blackberry Lockseed sliced opened.

His Genetic Ride Wear suit is grey with black gauntlets and white knee cloth material. His chest armor is black with three gold lines on both side of his chest while covering them is an armor-like cloak that is black and white. He has two thick-looking shoulder armor with a red panel, similar to Zangetsu-Shin's, with designs of blackberry on them. His boots are grey with black highlight beneath them. His helmet is grey like his bodysuit, with light red visor-like eyes, and the top of the helmet resembled helmet of samurai which is black with a red gem in the middle and there is a gold v in the middle of the forehead.

"This Inves is harder than he appeared," The newly Genesis Rider said before looking at Zangetsu-Shin, "With all three of us, I believed we have a chance to captured him."

"That… Todoh-sensei?" Habakiri gawked in surprised.

"How is Euphemia's condition?" Zangetsu-Shin asked.

"Your second in command managed to stable Princess Euphemia's condition, but it still inside her and she been kept watch," Sigurd said, giving the white Rider some assurance about the conditions of his half-sister. "On your order, I returned to assist you in battling this barbaric savage." He continued as he glaring at Demushu.

"Then let's do this!" Zangetsu-Shin said as the three Genesis Riders charged at the Overlord Inves.

Demushu tries to slash them, but they dodged quickly as Sigurd and the new Genesis Rider charged with their respective blade. Zangetsu-Shin jumped over Demushu while firing his energy arrows at him.

Demushu soon turned into a crimson mist and charged at the three Riders as they all fall backward before vanished into thin air. This made the three Genesis Riders standing back to back with each other as they looking for Demushu.

The new Genesis Todoh soon spotted Demushu reemerged again and brought up his Sonic Arrow to knock back his bow before attacking him with a hard slash across the chest. Sigurd managed to fire a shot at Demushu's shoulder. Demushu managed to recover fast and grabbed the Genesis Todoh by the throat before sending him flying into the air.

"Don't underestimate me, you puny ape!" Demushu shouted as he unleashed a powerful slash into the air and caused an explosion in the process.

As the smoke faded away to reveal that the new Genesis Rider is still alive, but with a bit more surprised as his armor cloak become two bats like wings with red gems.

"Whoa… that is certainly a new one," Habakiri noted after tied up both of her friends with vines. She certainly won't make the same mistake before and take their Lockseeds away from them.

The new Rider soon charged at Demushu with the Sonic Arrow as he slashed him across the face. He soon flies back and pressed the Seaboll Compressor again.

"SODA~! BLACKBERRY SQUASH!"

His Sonic Arrow glows with dark energy before unleashed the powerful slashes that made Demushu stumbled backward. Sigurd then charged forward with his Sonic Arrow in his hand.

"This is the storm of my loyalty!" Sigurd shouted before pressing his Seaboll Compressor twice.

"SODA~! CHERRY ENERGY SPARKLING!"

Sigurd jumps into the air before coming down with a roundhouse kick aiming at Demushu's chest and sending him further back than before.

Sigurd and Genesis Todoh then inserted their Energy Lockseeds into their Sonic Arrows while Zangetsu-Shin got out the Lemon Energy Lockseed as he placed it in his Sonic Arrow.

Soon the three Genesis Riders pulled back their shaft as energy gathering in their weapons before they fired at Demushu at the same time.

"LEMON ENERGY CHARGE!"

"CHERRY ENERGY CHARGE!"

"BLACKBERRY ENERGY CHARGE!"

This cause a bigger explosion as Demushu seeing rolling across the floor and his appearance seem to be heavily damaged by the blow. But Demushu managed to get himself up.

"How can he keep getting himself up?" Sigurd asked, looking baffled by how the Overlord gets himself up.

"No, there must be a limit to how many times he can revival himself." The newly Genesis Rider stated seriously.

Demushu soon recovered all of his wounds and about to charge at the three Genesis Riders until something stop him immediately as a great wind blow across the field.

"No…" Demushu groaned in pain as something is hurt inside his head. "Stop… Please!" Demushu seems to talk with someone, but nobody is in presence here.

The Riders are confused by the scene, but they cannot also move due to whatever the wind seems to have an effect on them.

It wasn't until Demushu seems to have enough before turning back into a crimson mist and fleeing the scene. Soon the great wind vanished completely as the Riders managed to get themselves up.

"He fled…" Sigurd said.

"But on what purpose?"

"It seems someone ordered him to do it," Zangetsu-Shin said as this got others' attention. "I got a feeling there is someone stronger than him to keep his savageness in check. Out there…" he said while looking at the direction Demushu went.

This new information seems to surprise both Genesis Riders as they're shocked to find out there could be more being like Demushu.

"Do you want me to pursue him, my Lord?" Sigurd asked. Zangetsu-Shin shakes his head to him.

"No. It will be likely far too dangerous as we don't know how many of them are there. We got other priorities back in the submarine." Zangetsu-Shin said. He is also worried about his half-sister who is now exposed to the disease of Inves due to Demushu and going to check on her. He then looks at Habakiri with her friends, "Beside the princess… we got two more custody." He said.

To be continued…
