The Dark Knight Main Theme - Hans Zimmer
CG Earth-Prime.
The year was 2017 a.t.b. in the Britannian Imperial Calendar, a calendar which functions similarly to the standard Gregorian Calendar (B.C.E./C.E. or alternatively B.C./A.D.), but starts half a century earlier.
As of this particular moment, it had been over seven years after the end of the Pacific War in which the nation of Japan had been all but destroyed by the so-called Holy Britannian Empire. The empire had attacked Japan over its vast underground resources, and while the proud island nation was able to put up a good fight, the war lasted only a month as Britannia would introduce a new weapon of mass destruction; humanoid, autonomous armored knights known as Knightmare Frames. With these advanced weapons, one that would make main modern battle tanks practically obsolete in usage, Japan was unfortunately quickly brought to its knees; the oppressive Britannian Empire had stripped the once proud nation and its people of everything: their rights, their land, their cultures and traditions, even their very own name: Area 11. And this was a nation that was but the first of many to fall into the hands of a tyrannical empire that pridefully holds the ideals of Social Darwinism and its advanced evil which they deem to be absolutely necessary for the sake of achieving their goals. Or was it perhaps the goal of the one who ordered this atrocity to be committed on the world?
Nevertheless, it was a world tarnished on the brink of conflict with three superpowers fighting for their own goals and ambitions. No matter where you turn to, there was corruption everywhere. Is there any hope in this world for any form of salvation? Who will fight for the sake of justice to be given unto the common people and awaken the dead consciences of those who decided to play deaf ears to the sufferings in the slums?
There was in fact someone who is willing to step in.
And this someone is now about to make his move at long last.
Somewhere on the open highway of Area 11, and in the background, there were the shining buildings of modernity and a hint of futurism to come, a delivery truck was seen speeding with no sign of stopping, driven by a man that wore a truck driver outfit, accompanied alongside a young woman who wore a similar outfit to the man in question.
The man's name is Takeshi Nagata and the woman's name is Kallen Kozuki.
They are members of a resistance group that was led by none other than Kaname Ohgi, to which before was once led by Kallen's older deceased brother (or so many would tend to think), Naoto Kōzuki.
And as of this point forward, Britannian military forces are shown to be in direct pursuit of them, something that thoroughly underlines the militaristic thoroughness and vigilance of the conquering power in view of what had happened no more than seven years ago.
But...
Little did they all realize that there was one particular individual that no one had taken complete notice of, for somewhere in the back of the truck, there was a mysterious figure of Victorian fashion, with a spiky mask and a circular indigo visor concealing his face, and a black cape to go along with his features swaying through the motions.
His name was Zero.
Now, he is but an unknown factor that is merely sneaking aboard as part of a plan that had been concocted in secret. And since then, he was simply waiting in complete silence with the intention of obscurity for the past few hours, under the cover of the shadow through the use of one of his armor's advanced abilities which was to cloak himself to everything and everyone around him, thereby not getting spotted in the slightest ever since this heist began. And he was simply waiting for the right moment to perform a proper strike in accordance with the plan that was set up not too long ago. And this was a plan that needs to be followed to the letter in order for every one of major or minor importance to get out of this alive.
He will not allow any unnecessary bloodshed to commence on this very day. From what his secret intelligence from his allies could gather, a precognition prediction hints at the massacre that would no doubt take place within a few estimated hours. This was one important reason why the operation that he is now leading and taking part in is commencing. He would have to thank his fellow student council members in Ashford Academy for covering for him as this was a very important day. Of course, he couldn't help but smile as Nunnally is doing her part as well.
Ah yes, his little sister. It is in fact one of the main reasons why he truly fights and is donning this suit of armor that would show a symbol of hope. In order to build a better world, it should take great care when balancing the scales of truth and lies. And there were conspiracies that abounded in the world that most people wouldn't think were real and concentrated only on the main threat of Britannia which was but a scapegoat at best.
And then there was another main reason as to why he is currently doing this. It was in fact a rescue operation from one of his main operatives. A very old friend whose voice was ringing out to him telepathically. And it was still calling him as he was simply standing by from the shadows and infiltrating the truck to no one's immediate notice.
From one road to another, from one pathway to another, evading a couple of the trucks. And then eventually, a moment passed as they are now being pursued by Knightmare Frames, ones piloted by his trusted spies among the Britannian Military and especially of the Purist Faction that resides within them.
Jeremiah Gottwald and Villetta Nu.
In the midst of the chaos, he would see Kallen, discarding her disguise and eventually donning her military attire, a vest-shorts combination in appearance, beginning to hop on an outdated Glasgow, a fourth-generation Knightmare Frame and the first mass-production model produced by the Holy Britannian Empire, and would make haste towards the outside world in order to engage the Britannian Knightmares just as planned.
He could only begin to narrow his eyes, taking into account the background of his fellow student of Ashford Academy.
A daughter of a Japanese woman and a Britannian noble who comes from a prestigious family. A very unfortunate background surrounds her childhood, much to his sympathy and empathy, to which he would know that she would not accept from a Britannian such as him, much to his sadness and understanding. Having to pretend to be such a sick and weak figure in her public life, but in her private life, she would eventually discard the mask and would shine to be a strong-willed, determined, loyal, and brave individual who can also be quite short-tempered, forceful and somewhat impulsive.
However, in spite of such qualities, she would also possess a quite sensitive, compassionate, and truly gentle side. But ever since his brother's supposed death (which was staged by him and a few others as part of a larger-than-life contingency plan for the safety of the world and the universe at large as too much is currently at stake when taking in the grand picture; usually speaking, it was something that he among his fellow four companions had taken the task to think of it deeply and weighing everything with a calculated effort that is both simple and complex), she wouldn't show this side too much anymore which was quite the shame if he were to be honest and would no doubt be attracted to such a woman of fiery spirit. But of course, he'd abstain from such for he has another woman in his life waiting for him back at Ashford.
In light of Villeta's surprise attack, the truck would eventually swerve hard and turn left towards an old subway line, one that leads to one of the ghettos nearby, somewhere in the Former Shinjuku Imperial Palace, between Shinjuku 3rd Street and Shibuya 3rd Street, one that was the intended destination all along, with Zero preparing himself for the inevitable truck crash that would be commencing right about...
...Now.
The sound of the truck was heard to crash. And with that comes the commencement of the next step of the operation.
"Commander Appo, commence the next phase of the operation," Zero ordered from the commlink.
"Yes sir," nodded Clone Marshal Commander Appo, a war veteran by nature and in full command with over an estimated thousands upon thousands of soldiers, said with an attentive voice befitting the old soldier. He turned towards the rest of his fellow clone troopers among the famous batch of STARS which is known as the 501st Legion. They were all gathered from every corner and side of the ghetto area, invisible to the naked eye of the locals that were simply minding their own business and walking about in daylight, unaware of the impending danger that would inevitably befall them.
But not on their watch!
Commander Appo would begin to perform a couple of intricate sign languages with his own two hands, made up for the purpose of military orders that need not be spoken at length, and that would in turn commence the instant teleportation of all of the locals from the ghetto through the use of advance transporters from the command center that was being contacted by some of the troopers who were following the orders to the letter, replacing said locals with mere realistic puppets.
Then commences the following hand signals from Commander Appo towards his fellow clones, which would be summarized as follows: "Get to position", to which the clones would instantly comply as they all take to their respective positions throughout the ghetto, all as they see Britannian forces coming in from above, seeing many VTOLs landing to drop their respective troops, carrying their respective armor and weapons, as they begin to a thorough search for the stolen "chemical bomb" that was in the truck that was driven by Takeshi Nagata, all the while unknowingly passing by the invisible clone troopers who were simply narrowing their eyes towards them in silence.
The clones knew why these troops were here. And it wasn't because of a bomb. Rather, it was one of their own who was captured and is about to be secretly experimented upon by order of the leader of these men.
They're not leaving one of their own behind. After all, she was their commander.
The doors that would lead outside were eventually opened by Zero after knocking Takeshi Nagata out cold through the use of non-lethal sleeping gas that he took from his pocket. Gadgets of the finest technology that were never made in this world. An advantage that he can exploit alone. At this point, Zero was now simply standing atop the capsule, analyzing what was inside and outside through the use of one of the functions of his mask that is known as Detective Mode which would allow him to see through many layers of walls and detect usable and useful objects in the environment, among other things.
Of course, he'd seen the woman sleeping soundly like a green-haired snow white.
He'd smirk of course, taking note to keep the comments for himself if he does not want to get slapped by an over 700-year-old woman.
While he was thinking this, it was at that moment when a military soldier would begin to attempt to knock Zero out through the use of a spinning kicking technique. The soldier should have had the element of surprise by his side and his kicking ability would have made landing on the intended target due to his polished training over the years.
But it was all for naught as it was surprisingly countered by Zero who simply grab his left leg, much to the soldier's surprise ad shock, saying "What?!", and would eventually counter with a fast punch to the left cheek that would send the soldier crashing towards one side of the wall towards the leftward direction.
Zero could only sport a narrowed contrite expression, looking towards the military soldier that was knocked out unconscious, recognizing the military soldier instantly through the use of Detective Mode, thinking "Sorry, Suzaku", before eventually turning back towards the capsule that was now beginning to open, revealing a beautiful young woman with long, almost waist-length light green hair, wearing a white restraining jacket, to which in turn he would only simply grab gently towards the back, carrying her with his own two arms and letting her down towards somewhere where she would find for cover.
And as he gently let her body down to some place safe, Zero would begin to face towards the right and would make light footsteps forward in preparation for the eventual confrontation that would commence shortly.
Many Britannian soldiers, people that probably belonged to the Royal Guard Division of one Clovis la Britannia, were now seen to enter the abandoned subway line, finding the truck that had long since eluded them since this day started.
The captain among the soldiers could only smirk in satisfaction as he and the men were walking forward, saying with a pleased grin. "Alright, we found it," before turning to one of his soldiers. "Inform His Majesty that we have found it."
But suddenly, a sudden flash would begin to engulf many of the soldiers, blinding their vision and perception of their entire surroundings, which in turn would make them simple and vulnerable for that precise moment to be taken down by Zero who fell from the ceiling and manage to deliver a successful diving kick on a couple of soldiers before eventually taking care of the rest of the soldiers, removing the rifles from their hands and knock them all down, with the captain eventually meeting the same fate, removing the pistol away from his hands and deliver a blow that manages to incapacitate him, sending him towards the floor in a thump.
All of this took place as the effects of the flash bomb would suddenly disperse from its effect, returning everything to normal, with Zero simply standing tall, maintaining a simple proper posture.
A simple takedown, flawless and efficient, just the way it is supposed to be done.
"This is Zero, the area is secured for now, but we must hurry to get the packages to safety as quickly as possible," said Zero, speaking from the commlink.
"Copy that sir, many of the men are on route towards your respective location via teleport in order to pick up the packages, standing by," said Marshal Commander Appo, speaking from the commlink.
And as if in an instant, multiple clone troopers, sporting blue colors, were immediately seen, with their respective weapons on the ready in order to perform a proper salute.
"Sir, Triton Squad, reporting for duty, sir," said one of the clones, probably a clone sergeant.
Zero could only make a nod of approval as he would begin to make subtle hand gestures as a way of giving his orders.
The mobile base of one Clovis La Britannia had moved into the ghetto, as one of his subordinates, General Bartley Asprius, would receive a report from one of the Royal Guards (Actually Zero who was using a voice modulator to disguise his real voice with an alternate realistic voice that has the Britannian accent of the captain down to the tune).
"They got away?! And you call yourselves His Highness's personal unit?!" General Bartley exclaimed in anger, with both of his hands leaning towards the table.
"F-Forgive me," said one of the royal soldiers/Zero, beginning to make a report concerning the truck that had just exploded, which in turn was caused by the clones who set the charges to detonate as soon as he, the clones, and the packages would take leave, leaving Suzaku to a much safer corner and instantly transporting the knocked out bodies of the Royal Guard towards an advance holding cell. "Based on our reports, even though the blast spread upwards, the bedrock is..."
"Why do you think the information was only relayed to you?!" General Bartley continued to exclaim in anger.
"We-We'll continue the search!" said one of the royal soldiers/Zero.
Clovis was simply listening to the conversation, sitting on his throne while sporting a disappointed expression due to the results that were just recently reported. "The plan has entered the next stage."
"B-But, Your Highness!" General Bartley was sporting a stunned expression.
"If this is leaked outside, I will be disinherited. Tell the motherland that this is a military exercise conducted to purge the region. This is an order from me, the 3rd Prince Clovis," he would begin to stand up while doing so, making a swift turn gesture from his right arm, ordering. "Annihilate the Shinjuku Ghetto!"
But little did Clovis and many others would realize was that Zero had been listening in this entire time, which in turn would make him prepare for the next phase of the operation to commence while the execution of the Japanese locals (actually realistic puppets that are remote-controlled, with the real Japanese safe and sound somewhere far away from anyone and most especially Britannia's reach) would be put into effect as a royal order, much to the disgust and disappointment of Zero who could only shake his head at how truly far his brother had fallen and felt relieved within his heart that the civilians are safe from within harm's reach.

Mighty Wings (From "Top Gun" Original Soundtrack)
Somewhere throughout the area, Kallen Kozuki was sporting an angered expression, using her Glasgow to defend the fleeing Japanese civilians (actually realistic puppets unbeknownst to her) from the Britannian forces that were converging on the area.
"Those damn Britannians!" she exclaimed, pushing the triggers as she slash-harkened a Britannian tank that was gunning down a group of civilians.
"Kallen, can the Glasgow still move?" Kaname Ohgi questioned from the other side, as he, Shinichirō Tamaki (who was firing a rocket launcher upon the enemy force somewhere nearby on the upper floors of the abandoned building), and a small group of rebels were barely holding their own near the center of the ghetto, to which was unbeknownst to them is actually being secretly assisted from the side by the clone troopers of the 501st Legion, setting their MA5B ICWS staser assault rifles to stealth mode, shooting and killing the Britannian soldiers in pinpoint accuracy, to which as a consequence, would not have any single real casualty on the rebel's side.
"Don't worry Ohgi, it's all right. I'll decoy them! Get the people out of here. The only ones that'll be captured are those of us in the resistance," Kallen exclaimed from the chatter.
"I know but we're trapped, they've got us completely surrounded," said Ohgi, still worried.
"Hang on! I'll try and..." but before Kallen could finish, her Glasglow would begin to shake, barely dodging enemy fire from a Sutherland, who alongside another Sutherland, was coming towards her.
"My Lord, I spotted Ms. Kozuki just as requested," said by none other than Jeremiah Gottwald, communicating from a commlink that is not of Britannian origin and design, reporting everything that has transpired.
"Good, now is the time to commence one part of the operation, maintain appropriate distances and countermeasures, Lord Jeremiah, it's time for the Britannians to be boxed in of their own making," said Zero, speaking from the commlink.
"Yes, my Lord," Jeremiah responded in the affirmative as he would begin use his 1x Assault Rifle to shoot at Kallen in order to force her to move to the designated location that Zero would eventually send her too, to which she would unknowingly comply as she would begin to make haste.
And after a few turns here and there, along with a hard turn towards the left, Kallen would eventually notice her Glasgow suddenly running low on power, to which she responded in a stressed, concerned-like tone. "Just 30 minutes left!"
And that was the time when a voice would suddenly be heard from the radio. "The west entrance."
"Eh?" Kallen couldn't recognize the voice.
The voice continued. "Use the tracks to move to the west entrance."
Kallen responded in a concerned, alarmed tone. "Who are you?! How do you know this code?!"
"That doesn't matter. If you want to save the lives of your people, you need to trust me," the voice said simply.
"To save the lives of my people?" Kallen sported a bewildered, concerned expression, turning her Glasgow hard right, before eventually jumping on the train tracks. "Hey! What am I supposed to do now?" she asked, looking back towards the rear as she saw the same two Sutherland coming towards her from the tracks."
It was at that point that a mysterious train was coming from the other side of the tracks, with Zero responding. "Since you believed in me, I'll be able to help you save your people. Jump onto the train!"
"Alright!" Kallen exclaimed, jumping her Glasgow towards the train.
Jeremiah in the meantime was simply holding the front of the train with his Sutherland in order to stop it while of course sporting a subtle pleased smile on his face. "It appears that the plan is working as intended," he would begin to speak towards the other Sutherland. "You! Go after the Glasgow."
"Yes, sir," complied the pilot of the Sutherland as he would begin to perform a jump in order to follow Kallen, to which in turn was swiftly denied as a blue beam of light would suddenly come from an unknown direction, hitting and vaporizing said Sutherland to mere orange explosions, turning it to ashes.
Jeremiah could only sport a sad, content smile in response, noticing Kallen coming towards him from the front. "Permission to eject, my Lord."
"Permission granted, Lord Jeremiah," Zero responded.
And with the permission that was given, Lord Jeremiah Gottwald would now be out of the battle of his own accord, all in service to his Lord, activating his cockpit's ejector in order to flee and prepare for the next phase of the operation.
"I'm saved," Kallen said, sporting an expression of relief before sporting an expression of curiosity. "But how did you-"
"I'll explain later, for now, I do believe that someone else that you know is about to make contact with you right this very moment," Zero simply replied.
"Hm?" Kallen sported a bewildered expression. "What do you mean by-" but before she could finish her sentence, she immediately heard the familiar voice that was coming nearby.
"Kallen! What the hell was that radio message earlier?" Ohgi asked, as he, Tamaki, Yoshitaka Minami, and Naomi Inoue were running towards Kallen's Glasgow.
"Eh? Ohgi-san, you guys heard it too," Kallen spoke in surprise.
"Yeah," Ohgi confirmed. "Yoshida and the rest would be here soon."
At that moment, Ohgi and the others would begin to sport curious expressions, hearing the mysterious voice once again.
"Are you the leader?" Zero asked.
"Y-Yeah," Ohgi confirmed.
"I'll give all of you the stuff inside of that train in this time of need, and if you want to protect your people, you are going to have to follow my instructions down to the letter," Zero replied, referring to the train that has multiple Sutherland that was now on stand by for proper use, with the doors automatically opening to reveal said Sutherlands.
General Bartley Asprius and the rest of his staff were now reporting the situation to Prince Clovis la Britannia. "The terrorists are mixed among the Eleven populous and they're mounting a minor resistance against us. However, this doesn't change the fact that our forces will have an overwhelming victory over them."
"Naturally," Clovis responded, sitting on his throne. "And more importantly..."
"I understand. The gas capsule will be...," General Bartley said.
"What the public thinks," Clovis completed the sentence.
"Yes," General Bartley agreed. "We are still investigating the whereabouts of the girl."
"Yes," Clovis said, raising his left hand towards the left corner of his forehead, sporting a concerned expression. "Whether dead or alive."
It was at this point that Zero was now commanding Kallen Kozuki, Kaname Ohgi, and the rest of the resistance fighters towards their respective tasks that were to be assigned in order to protect the Japanese (actually realistic puppets unbeknownst to them).
"Hey, is this really okay?" Shinichirō Tamaki asked in concern. "The IFF is still active. It could be the enemy's trap."
"If I wanted to trap all of you, Tamaki Shinichirō, I would have other better and more efficient ways of leading all of you towards said trap besides a simple train that is full to the brim with 5th Generation Knightmare Frames. And no matter how much you or anyone else would want to look at it, trapping all of you would be of no benefit to myself as our common enemy has the full advantage either way, whether or not a trap would be set for all of you, and the enemy does not need any traps, for the Britannians that you are currently facing are too prideful and arrogant for said subtle tactics to be employed, preferring to charge head-on and fight stupidly with no tactical insight whatsoever. Do I make myself clear?" Zero responded in a grave, correcting tone, one that made Tamaki shut his mouth up and immediately nodded in turn, seemingly intimidated by the subtle, correcting voice that was present from the radio, one that made Ohgi, and the rest of the resistance fighters sport surprised expressions.
"Wow... Someone actually managed to shut Tamaki up for a change," Kento Sugiyama said in amazement.
"I say we listen to him," said Yoshitaka Minami, sporting a pleased, impressed expression.
"Now then, we would need to discuss how all of you would need to go about this battle," Zero continued.
"Right," Ohgi nodded in obedience.
"Ohgi Kaname," said Zero.
"Y-Yes," said Ohgi, sporting a surprised expression.
"Your code designation for today is P1, and you would be the one to take the lead among your comrades, and I wouldn't worry too much about the Sutherland that you are piloting seeing as how the basic controls would remain the same as always," Zero explained.
At that point, Ohgi would begin to hold his walkie-talkie, sporting a curious, concerned expression, and was about to speak, when suddenly, Zero would interrupt him once again.
"You must be wondering as to how I would know all of your names. Well about that, like I told Kozuki-san, I'll explain later. For now, we would need to focus on the task at hand and help your people who are no doubt being gunned down by the Britannian soldiers nearby the more we waste our breath in speaking topics that could be reserved for later," Zero explained.
"R-Right," Ohgi nodded, silently agreeing with the fact that the questions would have to wait, for innocent lives are literally at stake right now.
"In any case, if Q1 is on time, then in twenty-three seconds, the enemy Sutherlands will arrive. Most likely two will come. Continue firing at them through the wall," Zero explained.
Ohgi would begin to nod, sporting a determined expression on his face. "Everyone, check your weapons."
"Signs of the enemy have been discovered at point F31!," one of General Bartley's military staff exclaimed, spotting the Glasgow within their sights via radar screen.
"A diversion, huh?" Clovis sported an amused expression. "How futile."
"The Lazarus Squadron should proceed as normal," said General Bartley, looking towards the radar screen that has the blue dots representing the Britannian Forces while the singular red dot would represent the enemy. "Have Orion and Valerie chase after them! Strike at them from behind!"
"Three, two, one. Fire!," Ohgi exclaimed, as he and the others were now pressing their respective red triggers, using their respective weapons to open a barrage of firepower across the wall that managed to take two Sutherlands by surprise, exploding immediately due to the continuous rapid barrage of firepower.
From the side, four Sutherlands were about to be taken by surprise from the side, being shot unexpectedly from multiple directions, with blue beams hitting them to the point of exploding immediately.
"Communications lost with the Orion and Valerie Squadrons!," one of General Bartley's military staff exclaimed, sporting a concerned expression on his face as he and many others were seeing the term "LOST" being designated to refer to the recently lost squadrons.
"Huh? An ambush?" Clovis sported a concerned expression.
"P1, P4, P7, move a hundred meters to the right and fire your slash harkens toward the three o'clock direction," Zero ordered.
"All right!" Ohgi exclaimed. "Listen to that voice!"
"Damn it," Tamaki cursed his luck as he begins to head inside his respective cockpit. "Guess it can't be helped."
"Are you ready yet, P5?," Zero asked in a no-nonsense tone.
"Ah, y-yes sir," Tamaki complied hastily, beginning to sit down from his cockpit chair, automatically pulling him inside.
And at that moment, a battle was being enacted throughout the Shinjuku Ghetto, one that was now being led by Zero as he gives the following orders to the letter.
Following under Zero's official orders, Ohgi's group would easily dominate Clovis' forces, attacking them from multiple unpredictable directions, which in the meantime was secretly being provided immense cover fire from the clone trooper pilots who were piloting their state-of-the-art Gundam Mobile Suits that are cloaked to everyone's immediate notice. And as the battle rages on, Ohgi's group and the clones would systematically destroy all Britannian units throughout the area in one swift stroke, much to the instant surprise of the soldiers fighting on the ground as they get picked off one by one, much to the growing disbelief of one Clovis la Britannia.
"Impossible. Our army's machines are being completely outmaneuvered by terrorists," muttered Clovis, sporting an expression of disbelief, standing up from his throne.
And while the inner turmoil was going on between the Prince and his subordinates, an image of a person would begin to replace the radar screen.
"Hello!" Lloyd Asplund exclaimed with a smile.
"What is it? We're in the middle of a combat operation!," exclaimed General Bartley.
"Well, I was thinking that it's time to make use of the Mobile Weapon from the Special Envoy," Lloyd recommended.
"Now is not the time for that!" Clovis exclaimed in anger.
And while the conversation was going down, many Britannian soldiers were beginning to fall, one by one.
"All troops at Sector B5, focus your firepower at your four o'clock low," ordered Villetta Nu, speaking communicating from a commlink that is not of Britannian in origin and design.
"Yes, ma'am," complied one of the clone trooper pilots, as he and the rest were beginning to fire a hail of blue staser fire across the four o'clock direction, killing more Britannian soldiers that were either on the ground or were piloting their Knightmare Frames.
Helicopters, tanks, VTOLs, and every other piece of seemingly outdated modern hardware were being wiped off in one fell swoop, with the Britannians losing ground as they begin to experience a literal fight of their lives each passing second has their numbers decreased a little by little.
"Group N, keep moving forward," Zero ordered.
And said order resulted in the Resistance-controlled Knightmare Frames raining down extensive gunfire across the Britannian-occupied Knightmare Frames, killing many pilots in the process.
"Lazarus Squadron's signals have just disappeared, my Lord!" General Bartley exclaimed in shock.
"Now!" ordered Clovis. "Deploy the Quincy Squadron!"
"But, Your Highness, if we do that, our enclosing attack will...!" General Bartley would advise with concern.
"The blanks that appear will be filled in with squadrons standing by here. It's certain that part of the enemy squadron is stationed here!" Clovis exclaimed.
And at that point, by order of Prince Clovis, all of the Britannian Forces would undertake to surround the entire area in a full circle.
"All right! Send Lerrus after them too!" Clovis ordered. "Enclose them! Concentrate your firepower! The main terrorist force is in the middle. Crush them," he said the last bit with a cruel smirk on his face.
But just all of a sudden, the enemy signal would disappear off of the radar screen.
"What?! The enemy isn't there!" Clovis exclaimed in shock.
But that wasn't all, because of the fact that Clovis had begun sending in the best of his main forces, it would seem apparent that such tactics would be considered as utterly silly, for the gathered forces would now be in for a surprise awakening in a single second, when...
Multiple explosions would begin to be heard and felt throughout the area, even towards the mobile base that one Prince Clovis was occupying, as he, General Bartley, and the rest of his men were sporting shocked expressions as they felt the tremors from even in their present location.
"What?!" Clovis exclaimed in shock, realizing the seemingly artificial earthquake that gone out of its own accord.
After getting his bearings together, he and the rest of his subordinates would find out for themselves...
That there was not a single sole survivor left... That most of the Britannian Forces were totally wiped out and obliterated off the face of the earth, utterly buried in the rubble of the ruins of the old nation of Japan, as it is fitting for said despot and bigot conqueror's end.
"No way..." General Bartley said as he and everyone else was looking at the screen that was now being projected.
It was a shocking defeat. It was one that they never imagined being possible. For how can they, the superior race, would be defeated so easily by a bunch of terrorists that are branded as Numbers?
But unbeknownst to them, they have had a little help and assistance from beyond, all in order to help prepare this world for the coming storm that would no doubt come rather unexpectedly. And the whole world would need to be ready for such an eventual outcome.
"Who is it?" Clovis thought, sporting a fearful expression. "Who am I fighting against here? Don't tell me that this person is better than Tohdoh?!"
"Lloyd!" Clovis called out in a loud voice.
"Oh? Yes?" Lloyd asked from the screen, sporting a curious expression.
"Could we win if we use your toy?" asked Clovis.
Lloyd could only make a smirk, saying. "Your Highness, please call it the Lancelot."
And as this conversation was happening, Zero couldn't help but sport a grimaced, pondering expression on his face while listening in due to the sheer irony that is about to come up. For he was the bearer of the Holy Sword of Excalibur, one of the two Holy Swords of King Arthur. And as of this moment, something that Zero had been anticipating for a long time, it would appear that he would have to face his old childhood friend, not on friendly terms this time, but through the heart of ideals, beliefs, and battles that are born from the sufferings and experiences that they all felt.
He couldn't but sigh heavily in sadness.
Would he really have to fight his old friend? The old friend that was one of the few that was actually nice to him and his sister, and one that he had made experiences of friendship and brotherhood for a very long time ago?
Once again, he could not help but sport a sad expression, while eventually making said sadness into resolve.
For this was never about winning. This was about his friend and how he could help him. At least, he hoped to God that he can. But he knew that his old friend is a stubborn bastard that originated from his very own traumatic experiences.
Suzaku Kururugi was no traitor according to him. He was just a broken man trying to find his own salvation in a world in need of hope.
Suzaku Kururugi wasn't sure how he should feel about this recent chain of events. On the one hand, he was glad to have been given the opportunity that he hadn't thought possible even in his wildest dreams, to which he was grateful to his eccentric new boss, Lloyd Asplund, for with the Lancelot, a 7th Generation Experimental Knightmare Frame, he would finally be able to change the world where there wouldn't need for such violence but peace instead. But he was also rather disappointed, for in the bottom of his heart, he felt that he deserved to die. It was all because of his sins that Japan was the way it is today, a decaying ruin of its former self.
Then there was...
Ever since waking up from what had happened, he couldn't help but recall the dark figure in the mask that managed to stop him from his tracks and knock him out cold with no amount of effort on his part. As far as he recalled, there were only a few people who could really do that. People like his master, Kyoshiro Tohdoh, would immediately spring to mind.
He could not help but be mesmerized and in awe at such a figure. There was a seemingly silent and solemn demeanor that seem to be present in this person. He did not speak to him. He did not turn around in order to see the attack coming. He just parried it and manage to do a full counter. That would seem to speak of the type of person that had managed to knock him out.
Suzaku shook his head. Now was not the time for reflections such as this that could be saved for later. He was determined to see his chosen path through to the end. Regardless of the past, he now had the chance to change the future. And then there was Lelouch and his sister, and as long as they were still living somewhere in this world, he had to fight with everything that he had. As much as he deserved death, he could not help but recall the two siblings who are no doubt living in this world, especially recalling the promise that was made on Lelouch's part.
"I swear... I swear, Suzaku, so help me. I will one day obliterate Britannia!"
He could only grimace at that, feeling the rejection of such a declaration that was present in his heart for this very moment, hoping against hope that Lelouch would not uphold such a promise.
"Lancelot! Launch!," Cécile Croomy uttered.
And at that point, he could only brace himself, using the trigger of the controls to sprint at full speeds, momentarily stunned by the speed of the frame as it accelerated into the streets of the ghetto.
"All units, commence full retreat towards the destination that I pointed out on your radar maps!," Zero ordered.
"Yes sir," Ohgi complied, as he and the rest of the resistance fighters would begin to sound a retreat and head towards the destination that was assigned to them.
"This is it," Zero thought gravely, looking at the Lancelot that was now sprinting at full speeds.
He was intrigued at the speed that the Lancelot could muster, and the graceful way that it could cut sharp corners and weave around the various debris and fallen building around the ghetto.
Now was the time to commence the next phase of the operation.
"Commander, now is the time to fire the H414 EMF Bombs!" Zero ordered.
"Yes sir," Marshal Commander Appo complied.
And at that moment, an invisible burst of electromagnetic propulsions would begin to be felt throughout the entirety of the Shinjuku Ghetto, rendering every piece of equipment and military hardware that belong to Britannia made utterly defunct. And with that comes the aerial vehicles such the helicopters and the VTOLs to all come crashing down, with the pilots being bewildered and frightened at the sudden turn of events that had managed to bring the entire system controls going completely haywire, and with that comes multiple explosions that were to be heard throughout the area that shook through the ruins of the old nation of the rising sun.
The Lancelot, despite its advanced capabilities, was also not spared as it would also begin to immediately shut down, tripping as it were, and would fall and crash towards the ground in a mere thump.
"What?!" Suzaku would exclaim in shock, seeing the Lancelot crashing immediately and being rendered completely defunct.
"What?!" both Lloyd Asplund and Cecile Croomy would utter in shock, seeing all of their equipment being rendered defunct and the power seemingly cut off, with all of their Knightmare Frames and other military hardware going haywire.
"What?!" Clovis would begin to exclaim, looking ever so frantic as his entire mobile base just went down in power, with the soldiers being assigned to guard him while General Bartley and the others were away to oversee the Lancelot was becoming just as bewildered as he was.
Then suddenly.
"AH!"
One by one, the soldiers that were guarding Clovis were being knocked out, one at a time, falling to the ground in a thump.
Clovis was feeling many things. Anger, bewilderment, fear. Something that doesn't befit a Britannian prince such as himself. With all of his guards knocked out and with him simply looking from all directions in a very frantic state, subsequently saying.
"Wh-What is this?!"
And that was the last time he ever spoke a thing before something shot him through the back, knocking him out towards the cold floor.
The one that knocked him out would begin to deactivate his cloaking device, rendering the figure present.
It was Zero. He had managed to infiltrate the mobile base when no one was looking, with the battle throughout the ghettos providing a proper distraction that would commence one of the plans for this operation. The Capture of Prince Clovis la Britannia and replace him with a realistic copy of the prince that would act as a dead body of a sort in order to commence the other parts of the plan.
For he knew that Clovis could not be allowed to rule Area 11 much longer, not just because of the sufferings of the Japanese by his hands, but because of the fact that he needed to be deposed and bring forth the li Britannia siblings into the shores of the rising sun.
Yes, that was the plan. To see to it that Cornelia li Britannia becomes the new Viceroy of Area 11, for the following reasons.
Cornelia would be the more reasonable of his siblings, and if she were to find out that he was alive and if she were to be provided with the truth of the matter at hand that could determine the fate of their entire universe and several others as they knew it, all of the events that would have been foretold through the numerous hints and advice that had given him would not come to an immediate pass.
The second would be that with Cornelia coming to Japan, Euphemia would not be far behind. Euphemia would act as the voice of reason for Cornelia, and the latter loves her sister dearly and would no doubt be able to hold some form of sway.
The third would be that he would like for Euphemia and Suzaku to meet face to face, if the hints and advice that was given to him on the matter some time ago were anything to go by.
The fourth would be the penultimate and final reason as to why he would want the Britannian siblings in Japan. That he misses them deeply due to the close bonds that they shared before his and his sister's banishment, for the sake of his sister's happiness, and in order to keep them safe and within his protection and reach. For other forces besides them, the nations of the world, and his father are at work. He has no doubt that the Committee of 300 is already having its own plans coming into action. If what the information that was given to him through numerous reports was anything to go by, it would appear that an alternate version of himself has taken the lead for this operation to commence just as scheduled.
His alternate self—Julius Kingsley.
They had yet to meet once again face to face since the last time they encountered one another. Both of them are evenly matched in terms of strategies and warfare. Both of them are evenly matched in terms of intellect and subtlety. Considering the contingency plans that he and a few others had been doing on the side, it would appear that Julius could not make any sudden movements of infiltration that would no doubt hold some amount of sway in the Imperial Palace, for he could simply just say that he is the exiled Prince Lelouch that have come to take back what is rightfully his and many would no doubt believe him to a degree, with the DNA testing confirming his identity as such.
But he hadn't done that yet. And he would have to thank the few others who were working on the side that was simply holding the devil back to the chains, letting him handle the preparations as smoothly and as quietly as possible before the big reveal to the whole world that would send for his two beloved sisters to the shores of the rising sun.
For he truly misses them deeply from the bottom of his heart as from his perspective, it had been over several years worth of life since he last saw them truly, for being an inter-multiversal time traveler could do much to confuse the age of one's internal clock, making his appearance, along with that of his second brothers from the wider multiverse, much older than appearances make them out to be.
He could only simply breathe in and out, saying from the commlink. "Commander, it's done, I've successfully captured Clovis. I can only assume that the resistance had followed my instructions to the letter."
"Yes sir," Marshal Commander Appo complied. "And actually, it would appear that Lieutenant General Kozuki would be the one to personally handle this one, with your permission of course."
"Said permission is granted, Commander," Zero approved. "And besides, the brother would need to reunite with his sister sometime soon."
Needless to say, Kallen Kozuki was completely and utterly shocked. And the other people that were alongside her were also sporting their particular expressions of shock and awe as they see the effects of an unknown weapon that managed to sabotage all of the Britannians' military hardware.
As if it were likened to a blink in the eye.
Seeing the devastated aircraft that managed to crash through various parts of the ruins, exploding as a result. Many Knightmare Frames have suddenly shut down. Many Britannian soldiers that were within the ruins were eventually gunned down in droves by what appeared to be blue colored projectiles that were now seen from the surrounding areas.
What is this? What was going on here? Who was firing at the Britannians besides them, to which they only tend to notice now of all times?
"Oi, oi, what the hell is going on here?," Shinichirō Tamaki could only sport a look of shock, awe, and fear as he and many others that were now gathered somewhere that was above a few meters from the ground were seeing something spectacular coming forth from their very eyes.
The Britannians were being defeated. And it wasn't just them that the Britannians were fighting. They would see many Britannian soldiers instantly gunned down with ease.
What is this? What was going on here? Who the hell are firing at the Britannians? And why can't they see them?

Dies irae - Animation OST: Amantes amantes
And all of a sudden, a voice was heard on the radio, one that made Kallen, Ohgi, and everyone that was gathered stop in their tracks.
"Did you like the view, everyone?" asked someone.
"...!"
Everyone was now sporting shocked expressions on their faces, not wanting to just believe the very familiar voice that they had just heard.
"...N-Nii-san," Kallen muttered in shock.
"...I-Impossible," Ohgi muttered in shock.
"I would advise you to turn around if you wouldn't mind," Naoto continued.
All of them would eventually comply, turning their respective mecha to the back, seeing...
They couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Naoto Kozuki. He was sporting a sad smile on his face, with both hands on his back, wearing a green military uniform, and was accompanied by a couple of white-blue colored armored soldiers who wore T-shaped visors and were carrying their respective weapons in their own two hands.
"N-No way..." Tamaki would utter in complete shock.
Naoto simply said. "I know that you have a lot of questions as to how any of this is possible. And..." he would begin to sport a grave expression, one that would put Kallen, Ohgi, and everyone else sweatdropping on the edge of their seats. "That is exactly why I've appeared to all of you now in order to provide a proper explanation."
And at that moment, the cockpit of the Glasgow, along with many of the cockpits of the Sutherland would begin to immediately open up, revealing a very teary-eyed Kallen, a disbelieved and bewildered Ohgi, and many others that were now sporting mixed and disheveled expressions.
Kallen was the first to jump out, with the rest soon following, looking towards her once thought dead but now alive brother, blinking multiple times while trying to erase the tears with her hands, making absolutely sure that what she wasn't seeing was an illusion.
"Nii-san...right?" she asked in confirmation, wanting to know if what she was actually seeing was really here.
Naoto could only direct a sad smile towards his sister, making a nod. "It's me, Kallen."
And with that, Kallen could only sprint from her position, tackling her brother in a very fierce hug, eventually releasing all of her pent-up tears, with Naoto gently patting Kallen's back. Ohgi and the others were not doing too much better, for they were almost at the point of crying as much as anyone, seeing their former leader alive and well which seemed almost like a dream. And thus, one by one, they would eventually make way for Naoto in order to give out their respective feelings on the matter. Some with happy hopeful smiles, some with uncertainty, and some were just downright crying in the case of Tamaki surprisingly.
And after the usual drama is over and done with, Kallen, after getting her bearings together, would eventually ask her brother this question. "Nii-sama, I don't understand, how-"
"Like I said, Kallen, I'll explain later," Naoto sported a kind smile, gently holding his sister's shoulders with both of his hands, before turning towards the direction where the battle was now happening, sporting a grave expression, before eventually turning towards his sister and the rest of his old comrades. "And in case if anyone's wondering, all of the civilians of the Shinjuku ghetto are completely safe from harm's way."
"Eh?" Kallen and the others uttered in surprise.
"In other words, what you all saw as Britannia gunning down our people is what I and many others would like all of you to see as part of a specific plan to save the real civilians who are safe and sound, out of Britannia's reach," explained Naoto, sporting a smile.
"Wait what?!" Kallen and the others exclaimed in shock.

Mighty Wings (From "Top Gun" Original Soundtrack)
Explosions reside through all sorts throughout the Shinjuku ghetto, living nothing except for a one sided battle that would seem to be apparent to everyone and to all.
"All troops at Sector B2, B4, and A2, focus your direct firepower towards the nine o'clock direction," ordered Villeta Nu, as she and her respective Sutherland was located somewhere safe from the barrage of firepower that was hurled at the Britannian Forces. And Jeremiah Gottwald was simply sitting at the back, sporting a pleased smile on his face. And somewhere behind Villeta's Sutherland was Suzaku Kururugi's Lancelot, being towed as it were by Villeta's Sutherland, much to Suzaku's unawareness as he is now simply unconscious once again.
"Yes, ma'am," complied one of the clone trooper pilots, as he and the rest were beginning to fire a hail of blue staser fire across the nine o'clock direction, killing more Britannian soldiers that were either on the ground or were still inside their Knightmare Frames.
"Aaaaaaaaah!," screamed one Britannian soldier, as he and many others were now retreating for their lives, to no avail as they were simply gunned down just like the rest.
"All troops at Sector A5, focus your firepower on the escaping soldiers from your sixth o'clock vantage point," ordered Jeremiah.
"Yes, sir," complied one of the clone trooper pilots, as he and the rest were beginning to fire a hail of blue staser fire across the nine o'clock direction, killing more Britannian soldiers that were trying to escape.
And the killing of more Britannian soldiers would seemingly double in measure due to the fact that some of the realistic puppets that resemble the Japanese that they tend to shoot at were suddenly exploding one by one, taking them along with the explosion, with the abandoned buildings suddenly collapsing on top of them and the artificial holes that were being created from the ground due to numerous explosions, killing many Britannian soldiers and destroying their respective Knightmare Frames, with many being buried alive in droves.
And somewhere from the mobile base, General Bartley and his fellow officers were now racing towards the throne room in order to speak with Clovis and ask for his further orders. And when they finally reached the room...
All they found was what appears to be the unconscious body of his men and the dead body of one Clovis la Britannia (unbeknownst to them, the real Clovis was now spending time on an advanced holding cell), sitting on his throne, with only a fearful, terrible expression on his face being the very last that was etched onto his face.
"Yo-Your Majesty!," General Bartley exclaimed in shock as he immediately heads towards the dead body in full haste.
"All units, this is General Bartley, I'm ordering a full retreat! Repeat, I'm ordering a full retreat!," General Bartley ordered from the radio.
"Begin retre-AH!," sounded one Britannian that was immediately gunned down, as many others were now trying to retreat with their lives.
And even while retreating, even more losses were being concurred by the Britannian Forces due to the blue staser fire that was being fired in calculated droves, with the staser bolts being fired up until a certain distance and direction that would allow for many Britannians to escape with their lives, ones that were to include General Bartley Asprius, Lloyd Asplund, and Cécile Croomy among many others, all as part of a plan that is now under circulation.

Main Title Terminator 2 Theme (Remastered 2017) · Brad Fiedel
After a few minutes later, Lieutenant General Naoto Kozuki and at least four clone troopers, two of which would sport blue colors while the other two would sport orange colors, were now leading Kallen Kozuki, Kaname Ohgi, Shinichirō Tamaki, and many other resistance fighters towards what appears to be an advance open wide corridor, a shining bright silver in color.
On their journey, Kallen, Ohgi, Tamaki, and many others could not help but sport an awed expression on their faces as they see the very futuristic-like surroundings that they landed themselves in.
They would see from side of the window, seeing all of the Shinjuku civilians safe and sound, with many of them sporting expressions of awe, wonder, confusion, bewilderment, and shock as the clone troopers and giant 9 ft. tall black ants wearing safety helmets were delivering the most appropriate of food, drinks, and other necessities that are to be used for the civilians, with many small houses, plants, and roads from the background.
They would see from the other side what appears to be a hanger bay of sorts, with the same clone troopers, giant 9 ft. tall black ants, and other human and non-human personnel working on their respective positions, with many advanced mecha and hardware that were seen from the background.
This was starting to get a little too surreal for them. Like for instance, from what Naoto told them in a way that they could understand, the troops that managed to decimate Britannia were actually clones, believe it or not, created from a planet called Kamino, one or more of many anyway, and that their society is mostly composed of clones, much to their bafflement and shock. Then there are all the other non-humans that were walking all over the place. One could not especially forget about the giant tall ants that were making conversations just like they were, again much to their bafflement and shock.
"What is this?" Kallen could only mutter in awe as she sees everything that was around her while she was simply walking alongside her comrades. She could only look back towards her brother, seeing him carry a determined expression that was present in the sad smile that would make her heart full to the brim with concern. "Um, nii-san."
"What is it, Kallen?" Naoto asked, sporting an expression of concern while walking.
"Um, its just..." Kallen sported a hesitant expression. "It's just a lot to take in that's all."
Naoto could only smile in sympathy. "Yeah, I understand how that feels the first time I saw any of this."
"Speaking of which," Ohgi sported a curious expression. "How did you survive Naoto-san?"
"Yeah, that's right, Naoto-san," Tamaki said, walking fast towards Naoto's position, checking to see if his eyes weren't deceiving him. "I mean, you were dead, man! We saw you die to those Britannian bastards when you only tried to help some of the children by delivering food to them. We saw you getting gun down to the back, man!"
Naoto could only grimace at that, recalling it all too well. "Yeah, I remember."
Flashing back to a time before the present, one Naoto Kozuki was simply dragging himself off from the ground, bleeding profusely from all sides as the Britannian soldiers were simply preparing to open fire upon him, with one of them using his foot to put Naoto in his place.
"Ugh!," Naoto grunted in pain, feeling the boot that was being placed on top of his bleeding back.
"Hehehe," the Britannian soldier laughs, raising his rifle towards Naoto. "Any last words, Eleven?"
But those last words never came, only an act of apology that was being born from his heart, all as he bleeds on the ground.
"Sorry, Kallen," that was his only thought as he begins to close his eyes before the end, hearing the clicking of the rifle that was being aimed at him.
One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten.
At that point, Naoto could only sport a look of confusion, looking back towards the soldier who was placing his foot on him, only to find the soldier seeming frozen... In fact, it would appear that the soldiers that would surround him from all sides were frozen as well. Then he would notice his back... There was no pain...
He would begin to carefully lift himself out of the soldier's hold, standing upward as he would begin to inspect his entire body for any sign of bullet wounds.
There were none. None whatsoever.
What the hell...?
But as he begins to inspect himself, he would begin to notice two people standing by him from his right corner. One was a man wearing a dark brown suit with blue pinstripes and a light brown Duster-type overcoat. The other was a man wearing a black suit, a buttoned white-striped dress shirt, and a loosened blue necktie accentuated by a beige trench coat.
Both of whom were sporting sympathetic expressions on their faces.
"Kozuki Naoto," the Doctor spoke in a solemn tone.
"Come with us if you want to live," Castiel spoke in a solemn tone.
"And after that, things just got a whole lot weirder from there," Naoto simply said, finishing his story to his sister and to his fellow comrades, to which in turn were giving him expressions of disbelief, bewilderment, and surprise.
Naoto was saved by two people, one of whom—Castiel—had managed to stop time all around them as if it were nothing, and planted a fake body in order to throw everyone off track as it were, making everyone think that Naoto was actually dead but was not apparently so.
They have to admit, if they heard of this story before all of what happened, they might as well think of this as a silly story that Naoto would come up with, with Tamaki even adding his bewilderment to the mix. But then, they literally saw Naoto die, or so they thought, couple along with the fact that Britannia just had what could be considered as the uber curb stomp of a lifetime, much to the personal enjoyment of themselves as the Britannians were finally getting a taste of their own medicine after how many years of suffering that they put them and their entire nation through.
But then...
"B-But, if you were still alive, then why didn't you come back to us?," Kallen asked, walking towards Naoto's position, sporting an inquiring, concerned expression. Naoto could only sport a contrite expression, still continuing his walk towards his intended destination which was only a meter or so away. "I couldn't Kallen. And all would be explained later as we enter through this door."
And with that, the large metal door that was right in front of them would suddenly open to reveal a very large command room, with a very large rectangular table that is sporting holographic features that Kallen and the other resistance fighters could only classify as something that comes from some of those old animes back in the '80s or '90s. Then there were the people that were present in this room.
There was a man wearing a mask, wearing what appears to be Victorian fashion and a cape that comes along with it, with both of his hands leaning towards the table. There were older men with grey hair, a clone they would recognize, whose physical features would seem to call forth those who were native to New Zealand (Area 9), just like the rest of the clones who they were seeing were wearing olive-drab military uniforms, simply roaming around and handling the control pannels that were positioned throughout the area. Then there were what appeared to be a few individuals from the side, some of whom were not human, once again to the shock and bafflement of Kallen and the rest of the resistance fighters, that were now here via hologram as they were discussing something alongside the man wearing a mask. And all of the individuals who were present at the table were now looking toward them, acknowledging their presence.
"Sirs! Ma'ams!," Naoto saluted in a proper manner towards many superior officers who are in the room.
One of them, President John Connor, was sporting a smile on his face as he and many others, sporting smiles of their own, would now begin to salute in turn.
"At ease, Lieutenant General Kozuki," Connor simply said, which made Naoto remove his salute.
One of them, Lieutenant General Shepard, would speak in turn, with a smile on his face and with arms crossed. "So, Naoto, these are the people you keep telling us about from time to time."
"Yeah, Shepard," Naoto nodded with a smile, raising his right hand in order to introduce his sister and his friends to everyone. "This is my sister and these are my friends, the ones that I wanted all of you to meet for a long time."
"That we are well aware, General Kozuki," Dr. Liara T'Soni said, sporting a smile on her face.
President John Connor would only look toward Kallen and the rest of the resistance fighters with an eager kind smile on his face, saying. "Konnichiwa, Kallen-san, minna-san, my name is President John Connor of the United Systems Alliance (USA), and we have much that needs to be discussed with regards to the issues surrounding your world in general."
And thus begins the story of hope.
It wouldn't be easy from here on out, but it was a start at least.
