Conflict in Yokosuka

The Black Knights began their assault against the Britannian forces in Port Yokosuka. The Black Knights in their Burais started shooting and pinning their enemies down and it allow the three boats to ram through their defenses. Knightmares came out of the boats and it was Void leading one Knightmare unit, Rai leading another Knightmare unit, and Alice leading another Knightmare unit. They began their attacks while the Lionel raised its MVS in the air with the Guren and the black Knightmare Frame piloted by Jinta. A long boat arrived and Zero, Kallen, and Jinta piloted their Knightmares on the boat and the boat rushed to the docks to join the attack. Sutherlands activated their Factsphere Sensors but then they were shot down by Burais that piloted by members of the Keitaro and his group. Meanwhile at the other side, the Lancelot as well as the several Sutherlands was watching and the pilots couldn't believe what was happening.

"All units, status report!" One of the commanding officer contacted, "I repeat, all units, status report!"

In the cockpit of the Lancelot, Suzaku was shocked at what was happening.

"It's happening again," Suzaku said, "it's Narita all over again."

Suzaku gripped the controls hard. Meanwhile Darlton and Nonette started to get on their Knightmares.

"Mount Frames at once!" Darlton ordered the soldiers, "We need to hurry and form a defense line!"

"Damn it, how the hell did they know we were here?" Cornelia spoke, "Are they working together?"

"Your Highness," Guilford said.

"Could that really be it?" Nonette asked, "Are they really teaming up? Did the Japan Liberation Front know that we would attack them and they asked help from the Black Knights?"

"I will not have a repeat of Narita!" Cornelia said with anger.

Outside, the Lionel and the Guren were charging through taking down enemy Knightmares that tried to stop them. Back with Cornelia, she got on her Knightmare.

"Your Highness, please let us handle it," Guilford pleaded.

"Be quiet!" Cornelia responded, "Saitama, Narita, how long do you think I'm going to let them continue to mock me?! I will allow Zero and his lackeys to continue to get in my way!"

There was a sudden crash and Cornelia was surprised to see the Lionel. The Lionel raised its right hand and grabbed the face of Cornelia's Gloucester and pushed it back.

"Damn it," Cornelia said angrily, "before I even get it to start it up."

The Gloucester went through the wall and was shoved and crashed to one of the large crates.

"You're going to pay for this Zero!" Cornelia declared.

Cornelia had her Knightmare raise its arm that held her Assault Rifle but that arm was struck by the Slash Harken disarming the Gloucester of the Assault Rifle. Cornelia saw that it was the Guren Mk-II.

"That damn new model again!" Cornelia said.

The Lionel drew its MVS Claiomh Solais and pointed at Cornelia's Gloucester.

"Are the Black Knights really aiding the Japan Liberation Front?" Cornelia asked, "I thought you said that you despise the way the Japan Liberation Front does things back at Lake Kawaguchi."

"No, I said that I despise the way Kusakabe does things back in Lake Kawaguchi," Zero replied.

"I don't see the difference," Cornelia said.

"Cornelia—" Zero said but cut himself off when saw something and prepared himself, "There you are!"

Zero and Kallen saw the Morgause as it drew the same type of dual MVSs that was equipped for the Lancelot. The Lionel blocked the attack of the Morgause and they pushed each other back.

"Zero!" Kallen shouted.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me!" Zero said and then the Lionel pointed at a direction, "Just keep him occupied."

Kallen quickly turned and saw the Lancelot charge through and Kallen was able to block the attack and pushed the Lancelot back. Suzaku was frustrated and he looked and saw the Morgause and the Lionel fighting each other with such intensity. The Lionel and the Morgause jumped up and landed on one of the large crates.

"Zero, so you decided to meddle in our affairs again," Nonette said.

"That we have," Zero said.

Nonette sighed, "This is really becoming an embarrassment. If this keeps us, I'll be questioned of my own competence."

Zero just looked on and then he saw Kallen keeping Suzaku occupied.

"This isn't over!" Cornelia declared as she got the Gloucester up.

Cornelia then quickly dodged a Slash Harken and she saw the Lucan as it retracted its Slash Harken. The Lucan jumped and landed in front of Cornelia's Gloucester and drew its own dual MVSs.

"I'll keep you occupied Cornelia," Void said.

"Void," Cornelia said with disdain, "you'll keep me occupied you say? You won't last against me! I'll kill you first and then I'll kill Zero! I've had it up to here with you fools!"

The Lucan charged towards the Gloucester and Cornelia piloted her Knightmare to dodge and grabbed her Assault Rifle and quickly started shooting at the Lucan in which the Lucan dodged the shots.

"I'll get payback for Saitama and Narita!" Cornelia declared and then she pushed buttons to get in contacts with her subordinates, "I want that freighter stopped! Anyone who is able to get to the freighter needs to stop it and get Katase! Kill the rest!"

"Yes Viceroy," One of soldiers replied.

"Once we get them, the Black Knights will have failed," Cornelia said in her head.

Cornelia continued to fight against Void and was pushing Void back. In the cockpit of Lucan, Void was concentrating in lasting against Cornelia.

"I just have to last long enough against Big Sister Cornelia," Void said in her head.

Zero was keeping Nonette occupied and determined to keep us with his former teacher. Meanwhile, one of the Sutherlands was cut in half by the black Knightmare piloted by Jinta.

"We just have to keep them busy long enough for the Katase and his group to escape," Jinta said in his head, "if they escape, we succeed in this mission. Okay, time for me and my Kagemaru to do our part."

Jinta piloted his Knightmare Frame, the Kagemaru and went after more Sutherlands to cut down. Meanwhile the Lionel and the Morgause continued to be locked in an intense battle against each other attacking and countering each other's moves.

"I'm impressed Zero!" Nonette said, "You've certainly have gotten better since the last time we fought."

"Thanks for the complement!" Zero replied.

The Lionel charged towards the Morgause again while the Guren was fighting against the Lancelot. The Lancelot shot bullets from the Assault Rifle but the Guren kept dodging the shots and was getting closer. The Lancelot then drew one of its MVS and swung but the Guren caught it with its long silver arm and the Radiant Wave Surger was used and it swelled up and destroyed the MVS.

"Damn," Suzaku cursed, "it must be the Radiant Wave Surger I was told about."

"Suzaku, you must be careful," Cecile contacted.

"I know Miss Cecile," Suzaku replied, "I won't let that arm damage the Lancelot."

Suzaku quickly used the Assault Rifle and shot at the Guren but the Guren stopped the shots with the Radiant Wave Surger. This caught Suzaku by surprise and then the Guren charged with speed towards the Lancelot and Suzaku dodged the incoming attack.

"Damn, is it fast as the Lancelot?" Suzaku asked frustrated, "Just like the Lionel?"

Kallen went in for the attack again. Suzaku shot one of its Slash Harkens towards the Guren but Kallen was able to deflect the Slash Harken with its Fork Knife and had the Guren jump up and over the Lancelot. The Lancelot responded by charging toward the Guren and they went back and forth with their intense melee attacks. The Lancelot jumped up and shot another of its Slash Harkens but the Guren counter by blocking it using its Radiant Wave Surger and destroying the Slash Harken. The Lancelot followed up by drawing and swinging the remaining MVS it had but the Guren blocked and held that MVS and destroyed it with its Radiant Wave Surger. The Lancelot moved back and Suzaku wondered what he was going to do. In the cockpit of the Guren, Kallen narrowed her eyes at the Lancelot.

"No matter what, you will not stand in Lelouch's way Suzaku," Kallen said in her head, "you're just deluding yourself in a fantasy if you believe that Britannia will really change for you."

Meanwhile Darlton was fighting against the Knightmare piloted by Alice while Guilford was fighting against Rai.

"Damn, do they really think that can just show up and interfere?" Darlton said.

"They would have been wise to stay out this," Guilford said, "They would have enjoyed their small time of freedom."

"Then let's make sure that pay for this," Darlton said, "we'll get revenge for Narita."

"I agree and what happened at Saitama as well," Guilford said, "in fact if we stop them and capture Katase, it will be failing blow to the Black Knights."

"Then we need to board that freighter," Darlton said.

Guilford and Darlton continue to fight against Rai and Alice and then they pushed them back and shot their Assault Rifles forcing Rai and Alice and move away. Guilford and Darlton quickly went on their way and Rai and Alice saw them move.

"Are they on their way to the freighter?" Alice asked.

"They must be," Rai said, "Naoto, are you there? Darlton and Guilford are making their way to the freighter.

"Very well," Naoto said on the other line, "leave it to us."

"Okay, I'm going to go assist Void," Alice said.

"I'll move into position to keep watch for Katase," Rai said, "it'll be easier just in case they get seen."

Meanwhile Void was holding her own against Cornelia and her Gloucester. Cornelia was then contacted by Guilford and she was informed of what they were planning.

"Very good," Cornelia said, "if you capture Katase and kill the rest, we succeed and it will be the Black Knights that fail and if we can get Zero, it will truly be a successful operation."

"So then Viceroy, would you like us to…?" Darlton spoke.

"Yes, I'll leave you capturing Katase," Cornelia said, "since you two may be the only ones that can actually do it now. Whatever it takes, we're not letting them escape us again," Cornelia pushed a button, "Nonette."

"I heard and I understand," Nonette said, "we'll keep them occupied while Guilford and Darlton board and attack on the freighter. I'll tell Kururugi."

"Go ahead," Cornelia said.

"Hey Kururugi," Nonette contacted.

"Yes Lady Enneagram?" Suzaku responded.

"You can still keep on against that red Knightmare, right?" Nonette asked.

"Yes, I know I can," Suzaku said being willing.

"Good, all you have to do is keep that Knightmare busy and have that pilot concentrate on you," Nonette said, "Lord Guilford and General Darlton are going board on that freighter. Keep that Guren occupied so that the red Knightmare doesn't try to go to stop them. I'll do the same with Zero and the Viceroy will do the same with the Lucan."

In the cockpit of the Lancelot, Suzaku nodded.

"I understand," Suzaku said, "leave the red Knightmare to me. Even with the MVSs destroyed, I still have the Slash Harken and this Assault Rifle."

"This is your chance to redeem yourself for what happened in Narita," Cornelia contacted.

"Ah yes Viceroy, I won't let you down again," Suzaku said.

"See that you don't," Cornelia said.

The Morgause charged and grabbed the Lionel and in the cockpit, Zero was contacted by Rai and was informed of what was happening.

"Okay, things are happening as I suspected they would be," Zero said and he pushed the button to speak to Nonette, "Is that what you're going for?"

"You're getting the beating that you deserve Zero," Nonette said, "by the way, I have a question for you."

The Lionel got away from the Morgause and got some distance.

"What is it?" Zero asked.

"Where's that woman?" Nonette asked.

"What woman?" Zero replied.

"The woman that got between us in Narita," Nonette clarified, "the one that saved you with her interference."

"Of course," Zero said in his head, "she's talking about CC," Zero then spoke, "I honestly don't know."

"You don't know?" Nonette replied upset, "Zero, it's not a good idea to lie to me. I'm not in the mood so don't jerk me around!"

"I'm not jerking you around," Zero said, "I honestly don't know where she is."

"Are saying that you have no idea where one of your subordinates is?" Nonette asked.

"She was not my subordinates," Zero said.

"Hmph, I have hard time believing that," Nonette said, "especially the fact that she's is one who was used a test subject for the illegal project that late former Prince Clovis was involved in."

Zero was shocked and then he deduced that since Suzaku was in Narita, he may have told her considering the wanted flyers of CC that was up in the Tokyo Settlement.

"So Zero, you want to try again?" Nonette asked, "Where is that woman? Where is Cera?"

"Wait, Cera?" Zero asked.

"Don't feign ignorance with me Zero!" Nonette said getting a bit angry, "That's her name and you're going to tell me right now! If you refuse to do so willingly, then I have no problem beating out of you!"

Cornelia succeeded in shooting one of the arms of the Lucan and the Lucan moved back and Void saw the damage that was done to the left arm. Cornelia's Gloucester pointed its Assault Rifle at the Lucan.

"You're through," Cornelia said.

"Don't be so sure," Void replied.

Cornelia's Gloucester was suddenly hit by a Slash Harken and Cornelia saw that it was the Knightmare piloted by Alice.

"Another new model?" Cornelia said angrily and annoyed.

"I'm here Void," Alice said, "the Vierge is here to aid you."

"Thank you, I appreciate it," Void said.

"Vierge huh?" Cornelia spoke.

The Knightmare that Alice piloted called Vierge readied its fists. Meanwhile Guilford and Darlton were forced back by Burai Knightmare Frames and the one leading them was the blue Knightmare piloted by Naoto. Naoto drew two Fork Knives and they were the same type that the Guren had. Behind the Burais was the freighter and the Darlton shot the freighter. This made Naoto charge towards Darlton but Guilford came in and lunge the Jousting Lance at the blue Knightmare. Naoto dodge the attack and Guilford shot the Slash Harkens and attached them on the freighter. Guilford retracted the Slash Harkens to board the freighter and Darlton quickly charged with his Knightmare's Jousting Lance to strike the Knightmares led by Naoto. Naoto engaged against Darlton and Darlton moved back and drew his Knightmare's Assault Rifle and started shooting forcing Naoto and his group to move.

"Naoto, one of them is on the ship," Ohgi said.

"Yeah I know," Naoto said, "not to worry though, Rai is keeping watch and as for him…"

Naoto looked over and saw the Gloucester piloted by Guilford on the freighter and Darlton quickly used his Slash Harkens and was able to board the freighter as well.

"Guilford, I can keep them at bay," Darlton said, "you go after Katase."

"Right!" Guilford responded.

The blue Knightmare Frame quickly got on board on the large freighter.

"Not if I can help it," Naoto declared, "myself as well as my Knightmare, the Seiryu will be your opponent."

"Big mistake!" Darlton said, "You'll pay for your arrogance!"

Darlton charged and pinned the Seiryu on the deck. Shots were fired at Guilford and Guilford and looked and saw the Burais shooting at Guilford's Gloucester and Guilford pulled out his Knightmare's Assault Rifle and started shooting back.

"Back off!" Guilford demanded.

The Seiryu punched Darlton's Gloucester and repeated the process for a bit and then shot one of its Slash Harkens to the Gloucester's face. Meanwhile Rai in his Knightmare was watching what was going on at the freighter and contacted Zero.

"Zero," Rai said.

Meanwhile Zero continued his fight against Nonette and then he was contacted by Rai and was given a status update.

"All right," Zero said, "things are going accordingly. Rai, as soon as Katase and his subordinates make their move, you assist Naoto and then others."

"Understood Zero," Rai replied.

Zero pushed a button to contact Katase while keeping on his concentration against Nonette and her Morgause.

Meanwhile in the freighter, Katase was in the cabin and was contacted by Zero.

"I see," Katase said, "thank you Zero."

"General," One of the JLF soldiers spoke.

Katase looked at his subordinates and nodded and the soldiers nodded back. Moments later, another freighter started to move and it was out of sight of Cornelia's forces as the Black Knights kept them occupied. The Black Knights continued on the assault against the Britannian forces. On the other freighter, Guilford heard something and looked and was shocked at what he was seeing.

"Another ship?" Guilford asked and then he suspected something, "Wait a minute."

Guilford grabbed and threw a Chaos Mine at the Burais.

"A Chaos Mine!" Ohgi shouted.

"Move away! Move away!" Tamaki shouted.

The Burais piloted by Naoto's group moved quickly moved away as the Chaos Mine activated and a wave of shrapnel sprayed. Guilford had his Knightmare crash through parts of the ship's interior and saw no one.

"There's no one here!" Guilford said.

"What was that?" Darlton responded.

Darlton had his Knightmare move away and then he and Guilford looked at the other ship that was moving.

"It must be—" Guilford spoke.

Guilford was cut off when a shot was fired and it blasted Guilford's Knightmare's left leg off.

"Guilford!" Darlton shouted.

The two men looked and saw the green and silver Knightmare piloted by Rai making the move and had the VARIS Rifle and started shooting again.

"Another enemy Knightmare?" Darlton asked.

"Nice that the Fenrir is here to back us up!" Naoto said.

"Fenrir?" Guilford asked.

"That's right!" Rai said.

The Knightmare called Fenrir shot two of its Slash Harkens and retracted and was in the air and shot Darlton's Gloucester's right arm off. The severed right arm that held the Jousting Lance fell in the sea but not before Naoto quickly got his Seiryu to quickly pry off the Jousting Lance and took hold of the weapon and Fenrir landed on the deck of the ship.

"We've got you!" Rai declared.

"Not only, you're too late," Naoto added.

Guilford and Darlton looked at the ship that was moving and they realized what was going on.

"We've been had!" Darlton said.

"So the Japan Liberation Front is actually on that ship," Guilford said, "this ship here was just a decoy."

"That is correct," Naoto said, "and now with the distance they have, you can't stop them and we're making sure of it."

Rai shot a round from the VARIS Rifle and shot off Guilford's Knightmare's left arm and then shot off the Darlton's Knightmare's right leg.

"Viceroy, this ship and the Japan Liberation Front…" Darlton contacted.

"I know Darlton," Cornelia said on the other line.

"We got played, right?" Nonette said on the other line.

Elsewhere within the docks, Cornelia, Nonette, and Suzaku watched as they saw the ship leave and getting good distances. They turned and faced the Lionel, the Guren, the Lucan, and the Vierge.

"It looks like you figured it out," Zero said, "but unfortunately for you, you can't stop them at this point, not that we would give you the chance to even make the attempt."

"You clever bastard," Nonette said, "so that ship that we had concentrated on was a decoy, the Japan Liberation Front were never on that ship from the beginning. No, you let us think they were and now they're getting away on the ship they're really on."

"Not if I can help it!" Cornelia declared, "We can still stop them!"

Cornelia pointed her Assault Rifle at the moving ship and Zero quickly piloted his Lionel and had swung his Knightmare's MVS Claiomh Solais and cut off the arms of Cornelia's Gloucester much to Cornelia's shock.

"What did I just say?!" Zero responded, "We won't allow you to even have the chance!"

"Viceroy!" Suzaku yelled, "Back off Zero!"

Suzaku charged towards the Lionel but was blocked by the Lucan.

"It's you who needs to back off Kururugi!" Void said.

The Morgause clashed blades with the Lionel while the Guren and the Vierge used their Slash Harkens to knock Cornelia's Gloucester down. Meanwhile, the ship was still getting good distance and Katase came in the bridge along with some of his remaining subordinate and they watched as the battle at the port continued.

"We'll make it," Katase said.

"The Black Knights are really keeping Cornelia and her forces pinned down," One of the JLF soldiers said.

Katase just looked and did a salute.

"Zero and the Black Knights," Katase said, "we place our hopes for Japan to you and Todoh, I am sorry to do this to you. I just hope you can forgive me for this."

The others with him did a salute as well as the ship kept moving. Back on the docks, Zero saw the ship continue to move with no problem and he nodded as he was pleased that he and the Black Knights were able to get Katase and his followers away.

"I'll be leaving them in your care Xingke," Zero said in his head and then he turned and quickly blocked Nonette's attack, "now as for us…"

Meanwhile at another area within Port Yokosuka, Madd and Joseph looked on and then back to each other.

"It seems the fighting is getting intense over there," Madd commented.

"Yeah…" Joseph said.

"Anyway Fenette, I think it's time to put an end to this," Madd said.

"You're right about that Colonel," Joseph said and then he pulled out a gun from his pocket and pointed at Madd, "it is time to put an end to it."

Shirley who was hiding was shocked to see her father with a gun. Villetta was shocked as well as she was still hiding out of sight. Madd was surprised and then just looked at Joseph annoyed.

"Fenette, what the hell do you think you're doing?" Madd asked.

"I'm stopping you," Joseph said as he was shaking, "you tried to have me killed."

"Of course I did," Madd replied calmly, "you had the audacity to break off from the Code-R Research. I wasn't going to let you get away from it."

Shirley was shocked at what she had just heard.

"Wait, the Code-R Research?" Shirley said in her head, "No way, was Dad part of it?"

"I never wanted to have anything to do with it in the first place," Joseph said, "I never agreed to it. Bartley made the assumption that I would simply go along with it just because I worked with him. And then it happened what I knew it would happen, the project got revealed by Zero and now you and the others are in hiding. Where are the others anyway?"

"Now why the hell would I tell you that?" Madd asked, "It doesn't matter if the authorities know about it. It doesn't matter that now that Bartley is suffering consequences and that Prince Clovis's name is shattered. It's not my problem and besides," Madd grinned, "it's not like they know of my involvement."

"You're going to have to wipe that grin off your face," Joseph said, "because I can assure you, they do know."

Madd just looked at Joseph and chuckled.

"Really Fenette," Madd said, "saying such a lie."

"Oh I can assure you that it's no lie," Joseph said, "I had something which was proof of those involved," Joseph paused a bit, "I suppose none of them told you that a certain disk was missing."

Madd looked at Joseph with concern.

"What are you talking about?" Madd asked.

"Before General Bartley had things moved to Narita, I was able to take something before anyone realized it," Joseph said, "the disk that contained the names of those involved in the Code-R Research which of course included you, General Bartley, and the late Prince Clovis. I handed it over to the Third Princess and current Sub Viceroy, Euphemia li Britannia."

Madd was shocked and he clenched his teeth.

"You shouldn't have done that," Madd said, "that wasn't a smart thing for you to do Fenette, taking something that wasn't yours and giving it to that stupid naïve girl."

"Should you really be that disrespectful to someone from the Imperial Family?" Joseph asked.

"I don't know why you care," Madd said and then he sighed and narrowed his eyes at Joseph, "but I will say that you made a huge mistake and you're going to pay for that."

"No, it will be you!" Joseph replied.

Joseph shot at Madd with the gun but Madd was to able to dodge and pulled out his own gun and shot the gun out of Joseph's hand before Joseph had a chance to pull the trigger again and then he moved and pointed his own gun at Joseph's head. Joseph was shocked and Shirley looked on fearing for her father's life.

"Stupid," Madd said, "very very stupid," Madd paused, "well then I think it's time you came out of hiding. If you don't, I'll kill your father right here."

"What?" Joseph said shocked.

"Get out here young Miss Fenette," Madd demanded, "right now! Unless you don't care what happens to your dear old dad."

"What are you—" Joseph spoke but cut himself off when he saw someone.

Joseph was shocked to see his daughter Shirley.

"There you are," Madd said.

"Shirley, what are you doing here?" Joseph asked.

"Dad, I…" Shirley spoke.

"Aww, how sweet," Madd said sarcastically, "your daughter must have been so worried about you," Madd then looked at Shirley, "She probably followed you when she noticed that you seemed out of it. You're quite a foolish girl to come here."

"Did you know I was here the entire time?" Shirley asked.

"Hah, of course I did," Madd said.

"Shirley, just run," Joseph said, "run away from here."

"Oh it's a little late for that," Madd said, "I'm not going to let her leave," Madd pointed his gun at Shirley, "a lesson needs to be taught. The very lesson is to what happens to those who get in my way."

Shirley was mortified and Joseph panicked.

"Drop the gun!" A voice demanded.

Madd, Joseph, and Shirley looked over and saw Villetta who pointed her own gun at Madd.

"Drop the gun," Villetta said again.

"Who the hell are you?" Madd responded annoyed.

"Major Nu," Joseph said.

"Oh, I see," Madd said, "you're Major Villetta Nu, member of the useless and stupid Purist Faction."

"Colonel Reginald Madd," Villetta said, "drop the gun now."

"Now why should I do that?" Madd replied.

"Look, you're in enough trouble as it is," Villetta said, "we know that you're involved in the illegal human experiment, don't make it worse for yourself. Now drop the gun."

Madd looked on continued to be annoyed and then he deduced.

"Oh I see," Madd said and then looked at Shirley, "this is your doing, right?"

"My doing?" Shirley asked confused.

"Don't try to deny it," Madd said, "you brought her here. Isn't this something Fenette? It seems your daughter is quite clever."

"I seriously don't know what you're talking about," Shirley said.

"Don't try to lie," Madd said, "it's obvious."

"That's enough," Villetta said, "I won't tell you again Colonel Madd. Drop the gun and move away from them with your hands up."

Madd looked over to Villetta with silence.

"You were the one who was behind that scheme in Narita," Villetta said with a glare, "you convinced my former colleague to kill this man for your own schemes."

"Tch, those fools couldn't do anything right," Madd commented, "all they had to was kill him. But instead, they wanted to make it a show and were dumb enough to let Zero be around."

"That's—" Villetta spoke upset that Madd admitted it nonchalantly.

There was a sudden crash and it caught everyone by surprise. They looked and were surprise to see the Lionel on the two large crates. The cockpit was opened and Zero shook his head.

"Damn, I didn't expect Nonette to be able to get me like this," Zero commented and then he glanced and was shocked to see the others, "What the…?"

"Z-Zero," Joseph spoke.

"Zero," Shirley said.

Villetta looked at Zero and she sported a grin while Madd saw Zero and clenched his teeth.

"Great and now we have this bastard as well," Madd said annoyed.
