Code Tenno Uprising of the Void
ESKK: Let's start, a brand-new chapter enjoy.
(Start Lelouch)
Lelouch and the girl from before were seen running away through the underground Tunnels. After the explosion and Radial Howl, the pair had taken the opportunity presented to them to make their escape. More so the trucks explosion had caused a small cave-in, which separated them from the Royal Guard. They could hear the sounds of the chaos going on above them as they made their way down the tunnel.
Just then the heel of the girl's shoe got caught in a pothole, which caused her to trip and stumble to the ground. "What the hell are you!? This chaos is all your fault, isn't it?" Lelouch said as he stared at the girl while trying to collect himself but only ended up growling in frustration with things out of his control. "Not only that, but Britannia has... They even killed Suzaku!" He all but accused as the girl looked at him in some form of concern.
(Back with Eureka)
Eureka continued the slaughter of Britannian soldiers as she glared at her foes. "This shit kind of reminds me of the Old War." Ava was heard as Eureka heard her.
"But unlike the Old War, where we had Dax Soldiers fighting with us, here we severely lack resources more so than with the New War." Eureka said as she used her abilities to coral a group of Soldiers in a cage of glass that they tried to force themselves out of. This resulted in them shooting themselves as the glass shards broke off and went after them.
"Yeah well...oh shit Eureka heads up sliced into their comms their getting ready to move in on an area with civilians closest to you." Ava said and thus Eureka knew what to do.
"Understood." Eureka said and thus moved on to try and stop the Britannians.
(Meanwhile with Lelouch)
"Stay quiet. Wait here." Lelouch said to the girl as he slowly snuck up the stairs to check the exit. As he neared the top, he heard the sound of gunfire, and thus quickly hid once more.
"Report." The Schoolboy heard the voice of the same military officer.
"We found only Elevens here, sir." a soldier replied as the Comms have been filling up with the actions of the Tenno.
"Hm... You're sure of it? That exit comes out here?" The commanding officer said as the soldiers sounded scared.
"Yes, sir. It matches up with our map of the old city." He said as he sounded ready to turn tail and run.
As the four held their breath, wondering what to do, the heard the sound of a girl crying. Lelouch recoiled a bit as he watched the soldiers shoot her. Lelouch held his breath as he hoped that fate would be kind to them, and the soldiers would move on. But there was no such luck as suddenly Lelouch's phone suddenly began to ring. He quickly hung up the call, but it was too late the soldiers heard the noise and readied their guns.
The Soldiers were then upon them as once they got them Lelouch was pushed against a wall as the soldiers held the girl at gunpoint. "What appropriate place for a Terrorist to meet his end." the officer said as he glared down upon Lelouch.
"You scum..." Lelouch let out glaring at the soldier with venom dripping from his voice.
"Still, you did well for students. But I suppose that is to be expected, you are Britannian." the Soldier said as he then pointed his gun at Lelouch. "Unfortunately, my clever young friend, you have no future." The officer said as he had his gun aimed at Lelouch.
Just then the girl bro9ke through the guards catching them by surprised as she charged in the way. "HE MUSN'T DIE!" The girl cried out with the restraint over her mouth coming undone.
The Soldier pulled the trigger firing off his weapon and in turn the bullet struck her right in the head. The result was as expected as the unknown girl fell over, her life already extinguished from the bullet to the head.
Lelouch stood there for a moment in shock over what he saw. "You shot her." Lelouch managed to get out through the shock as he went to check on the girl.
The Soldier scoffed to this almost annoyed with the result. "Our orders were to bring her back alive, if possible..." the officer said. "Oh well, nothing can be done about it now. We'll just tell out superiors that the Royal Guard found the terrorist hideout and killed them all. Regrettably, the female hostage had already been tortured to death." he explained showing that he was clearly going to lie to his superiors over what really happened. "So, what do you think of that schoolboy?" He asked in an almost mocking tone as Lelouch was in shock.
'How can this be happening? First Suzaku is killed, and now this girl.' Lelouch thought, frozen in shock and terror as he saw his life was about to tragically end. 'Now I'm about to die. And before I've had a single thing to do with my life... It's all gone in a heartbeat... Nunnally...!' Lelouch thought and in turn much to his shock the girl grabbed his wrist causing a strange feeling in his head to start.
For Lelouch it felt like he was transported elsewhere, as strange visions flashing into his mind. "You don't want it to end here, do you?" The voice of the girl was heard as Lelouch was confused as to what was going on. "You appear to have a reason for living." The voice of the girl spoke as Lelouch stood there in shock.
"The girl? But that's impossible." Lelouch though recognizing the voice that was speaking as that of the dead girl.
"If I give you power, could you go on?" she asked as she spoke directly to Lelouch on this. "I propose a deal. In exchange for this power, you must agree to make my one wish come true." The girl offered as the visions were vivid to Lelouch. "Accept this contract, and you accept its conditions." She went on showing to Lelouch what he needed to know of this contract. "While living in the world of humans, you will live unlike any other. A different providence, a different time, a life. The Power of the King will condemn you to a life of solitude. Are you prepared for this?" The Girl asked as Lelouch began to gain his resolve.
As the vision went through his mind it was clear that another would form a deal with the devil. "Yes, I accept the terms of your contract!" Lelouch spoke and thus the deal was struck.
Once he was back in the Shinjuku Ghetto Lelouch then stood up with renewed confidence. "Say, how should a Britannian that detests his own country live his life?" Lelouch asked out loud as he glared at the Royal Guard while covering his left eye.
"Are you some kind of radical?" the royal guard officer asked as he raised his gun, but then let out a gasp as he stared at the boy in question finding his look to be unsettling.
"What's wrong? Why not shoot? Your opponents are just schoolboy." Lelouch offered as he stood before his foes. "Or have you figured realized? That the only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed!" he said removing his hand from his eye revealing, a strange bird-like sigil had appeared in it.
"W-what's happening here...?" The soldier asked as he stood there shocked over what he saw
"I, Lelouch Vi Britannia, command you all of you... Die!" Lelouch ordered and in turn his eye emitted a strange light.
And in that instance, the soldiers of the Royal Guard all felt compelled to obey. Nothing else mattered except following this order. "Happily, your highness!" the officer said as he and the rest all took their guns and aimed them to their necks. All wore expressions of happiness, glad to follow the command given to them. "Fire!" The Soldier ordered and then in turn they all pulled the triggers, all going to their deaths with smiles on their faces.
(Meanwhile at another location)
A young girl in a wheelchair blind had arrived at the Shinjuku Ghetto by unknown means. This girl stood in the middle of what was clearly a warzone unaware of the danger she was truly in. From her student ID it stated her name as Nunally as she sat in her wheelchair confused and lost. The truth was that something had called her to this place, yet she knew not what it was that did so.
Just then she heard a voice call to her. "I have been waiting for you... my white witch." The Voice spoke belonging to the doll of all things. It then appeared before the girl causing her to yelp in shock as despite being blind somehow, she could see this being. "I can feel it your wrath." The being spoke as it looked directly at the girl. "Towards the senseless slaughter towards the loss of our mother and your freedom." The being listed off as Nunally was in shock.
"It was you... you were the one who called me?" The girl asked looking to the doll despite being unable to actually look.
"Yes. This is a contract." The being spoke as an arm began to form from it. "If you would accept one wish of mine, I shall grant you power." The creature said as the arm grew closer to the girl.
"Power?" the girl asked her voice stuttering at a loss to what was going on.
"Yes. The power to make YOUR wish come true." The creature said and in turn Nunnally began to reach towards it to grasp its hand in hers. But despite this Nunally Vi Britannia knew that this was where her nightmare began as did HER dream.
(Meanwhile with Ava)
Ava had gone to a sniping position as she was picking off the Soldiers one after the other. They never seem to catch her in time as she kept firing and if they get a glimpse she moves elsewhere and starts again. Of course, from her hiding spot she saw the entire event Lelouch had just gone through go down.
"What in the name of the Void?" Ava asked as she saw how Lelouch ordered those men to kill each other. It was like how an Orokin could command a Dax soldier. As Lelouch sat there, Ava saw through her scope a Knightmare Frame show up. She saw Lelouch say something as if to give an order but when nothing happened, she suspected he was dead. Instead, he said something else, something about protection and in turn the pilot, a woman, stepped out of the Knightmare. As she saw this Ava was about ready to snipe her until she saw her handing her keys over to Lelouch.
"The fuck?" Ava asked making sure she recorded everything to give to the Lotus. Once Lelouch drove off Ava peeled back and went to find a different spot to start sniping.
(Meanwhile with Suzaku)
"So, are we having a bad day?" Lloyd asked the boy in bed who was just coming to. "Looks like you missed a chance to go to heaven, Private Kururugi." Lloyd said as he looked to the downed private.
"I did...?" Suzaku let out still in a bit of a daze. He was confused by the situation he was now in. The last thing he recalled was being in the tunnel with Lelouch and the two others, and the Royal Guards shot him. "Where...?" Suzaku began but was cut off by the scientist.
"Oh, we're still in the Shinjuku Ghetto." Lloyd said as he stood there as he had heard about the three soldiers giving their troops in the front lines a run for their money.
"With Prince Clovis nearby, this is probably the safest place anywhere." Cecile explained as they recovered him not to long ago. "This is what saved your life, Mr. Suzaku." she said as she presented a pocket watch. Cecile said as she presented to Suzaku a pocket watch.
"You're lucky it was under your protective suit, because that's what deflected the bullet." Lloyd said as he was impressed with the amount of luck Suzaku had there.
"Is it important to you?" Cecile asked as she looked to Suzaku wondering how important the pocket watch truly was.
"Yeah, very." Suzaku said as he took it and examined it. It was damaged pretty badly, with the glass cracked and it had stopped.
"You Elevens believe that gods live inside of everything, even objects, don't you?" Lloyd asked. "Well, I guess this one-"
"Is Lelou-" Suzaku cut him off, but them stopped himself. "What is the latest on the situation?"
"It looks like the poison gas was released. Massive Eleven casualties have been reported."
"They haven't caught the perpetrators yet." Cecile added as she made sure Suzaku was ok.
Suzaku thought on this. He now knew that the poison gas story was just a cover, and that the alleged gas capsule had really contained that girl. So, then what did this mean for Lelouch and that girl from the capsule? "I see..." Suzaku said with a saddened tone in his voice.
"Private Kururugi, how much experience do you have in piloting a Knightmare Frame?" Lloyd asked him as he really wanted to send his new toy out for a spin.
"What? But there is no way an Eleven would be made a Knight." Suzaku said knowing how things currently worked in Area 11.
"Well, supposing you could?" Lloyd said as he held up the key drive of a Knightmare before him, and Suzaku knew what he was getting at. "Congratulation! The only Knightmare of its kind awaits you! Once you take the controls of this big beauty, everything will change. You, and your world." Llyod said sounding proud of his creation.
"Whether you want it to or not." Cecile added knowing Suzaku's life was about to change forever.
(Back with Ven)
Ven glared at the girl who not too long ago was shot by the Royal Guard. As Umbra's face piece began to reform covering the truth of the deformed being under the armor Ven was ready to fight should the need arise.
"Who are you?" Ven asked the girl as she just turn away and about to walk off until Ven Leaps towards her to her surprise to see him landing in front of her and drew his sword in a blink of an eye and held it at the girl's neck and said again, "Who are you?"
"My, aren't you very demanding," the girl said to him as then Ven put the sword closer to her neck, giving her a small nick, but she was unaffected by it said to her, "I won't ask a 3rd time."
The girl didn't seem afraid by this threat as she finally tells him, "Call me CC." with Ven confused about that name, if it doesn't show it as he said to her, "CC, really?"
"I don't really care what you think of it, but that is my name," CC said to him as Ven said, "A name you given yourself, as I doubt a parent would give any child of theirs that kind of name."
"Well, aren't you a smart one," CC said as Ven said to her, "Don't irritate me, the last people who thought they were all high and mighty fell by my hands."
"You can try to kill me, but I doubt you could," CC said as Ven said to her, "Because your immortal?"
CC seem surprise by this at what Ven said to her as she asked him, "And how do you know that?"
"A thing who ask me to take care of something that someone should not be messing around with, and somehow it connecting to you," Ven said as he wasn't giving out much detail as he soon ask her, "And what I want to know is that person, and how does it connect to you, so unless you can regrow your body from just your head, I suggest you start talking."
CC remains silent as she doesn't understand what Ven is talking about, but she may have an idea of who he is asking about as she said, "I don't really know who exactly, but I think you're looking for someone who is like me."
"Like you?" Ven said as CC turn and walk a bit while Ven keep his sword pointed at her as she said, "I've been around for a long time, witness thing that would frighten many, seen things that no one has, and I know there are very few of people like me but I never meet them, as such I never meet someone like you before."
"And I'm supposed to believe that you haven't meet anyone like you?" Ven ask as CC turn to him and said, "Maybe, maybe not. I don't care really what you think, if you believe you can kill me then do so, I won't stop you."
Ven stay silent for a bit before he sheathed his sword as he said, "Trying to kill you will be nothing but a waste of time that I don't have to spare."
"So, you won't even try to then, how disappointing," CC said as she did sound disappointed as Ven said to her, "Do you have a death wish or something?"
"I suppose you can say that," CC said as she turn off to the battle that was going on as she can hear the gun fire and explosion as CC went on saying, "Do you know what it like to live for so long that it becomes madding, always being used as someone tool, and never gave a damn about yours, do you even know?"
"What you describe about yourself… is the same hell many of those like, myself, had faced in our lives," Ven said as CC turn to him as she ask him, "Do you?"
Ven looked at her for a bit as he sighed as he was about to do something that he never showed anyone in this new world as he began to Transference out of his Warframe before CC to her eyes widen as she saw this and what surprise her was someone who looks someone younger than her as she said, "Your… a child?"
"I am more than human... but once a child like any other that can no longer age… who's innocent was taken away, force to become a slave to the golden masters I once served… but no more, as I stand before you as a Tenno, one who rise above their hell and fight for those who can't fight for themselves," Ven said Umbra walk on its own away from them for a bit, which this did surprise CC a bit but her focus was mostly on Ven, as she sees him but didn't know what to say about this as she soon said, "How… did you become this?"
"An accident that cause many children's family to go mad, with the children the only ones remain sane, but is curse with power of the void," Ven said as CC was now curious as she never heard of something like this before, even if it was top secret, there should have been such event that would told of some sort of accident or incident that may have killed many families if what Ven had told her is correct as she soon thought, 'Could he be the one?'
"I must emit, hearing that does maybe pity you… but maybe we can help each other out," CC said as Ven looked at her as he said, "And how's that?"
"A deal to say, I can grant you a power of a king that will condemn you to a life of solitude, but I suppose you already know what that is like, but with this I ask for you to grand me a wish of mine," CC tell him as Ven scuffed at this as he said, "No way, I already shaken the hand of the devil and curse with a great power, why would I want another one?"
"Because with this power you could probably find who you are looking for, if you master this power it could help you get a step closer to who you are trying to find as well or at least may lead you to those who are like me that could guild you that may help find the answer of ridding of your curse," CC said as Ven seen hesitate of this deal as he can hear him.. the man in the wall laughing, just haunting him everywhere he goes, he wanted to finish his bargain with him once and for all as he looked at CC and said, "Fine then I accept you deal."
"Alright then," CC said as she walked over to him as she soon asked him, "May I know your name?"
"My names is… Ventus, but I prefer Ven," Ven said as CC held up her hand as she said, "Well Ventus, it's nice to meet you."
"I wish I could say the same," Ven said as he raise his own hand knowing what he's about to do but he stop midway as he look at CC and said, "If this deal doesn't end the way we agreed upon then I will make sure to make your everlasting life a bigger hell than you could ever imagine."
"Fare enough then," CC said not worry about that as then Ven take her hand and suddenly the mark on CC's head glows brightly with Ven's world turn to white.
(Meanwhile with Kallen)
Using her Knightmares Slash harken Kallen managed to destroy a tank that managed to hit several civilians. "You Damn Britannians!" Kallen snarled as she had tears in her eyes seeing exactly the sort of chaos the Britannians were performing.
"Kallen can the Glasgow still move?" Ohgi asked as he was over their communication line.
"Don't worry about me Ohgi it's alright I'll decoy them! Get the people out of here!" Kallen ordered as she was still in the fight. "The only ones who will be captured are those of us in the resistance." Kallen said as she was unaware of the Tenno's actions.
(With the Resistance)
"I know but we're trapped they got us completed surrounded." Ohgi said until he heard cried of agony. He looked to the source and saw Britannian's being gunned down one after the other. Looking to where they were falling Ohgi followed the lien of sight and saw several flashes before more Britannians were gunned down.
"Testing! Testing is this thing working?" Ava was heard as Ohgi heard this.
"What who is this?" Ohgi asked only for another gun shot to go off hitting another Soldier.
"Does that answer your question?" Ava asked as she began to reload again. "Look I'll have to be covering for all you, bozos. So, while I do that just get your asses out of there and get the people to safety mainly GET THEM OFF THE STREET!" Ava yelled as she soon finished reloading and opened fire again. "I'll be in touch." Ava said and thus cut the communication off.
"A sniper huh." Ohgi said happy for the assist if not a tad bit suspicious.
(Meanwhile with Ava)
Ava glared at the scene before her as she kept her fire up on her foes down below. "Those sons of a bitches just keep coming." Ava cursed as she kept a close eye on her ammo.
"Ava what were you thinking?" Came the voice of Eureka as she overhead the conversation.
"Look Eureka we can't get everyone without help, Sayak still has his mission, and I can't contact Ven right now." Ava said as she lost contact with Ven a bit ago.
(Eureka)
"In that case he might be in trouble." Eureka said as the gun fire continued going over them. "One of those times I wished we still had our old resources." Eureka sighed knowing full well they had to make do. "Ava was right, you chose a bad time to be on a mission Sayak." Ava said as she knew the fourth member of their Squad was still away on an assignment of his own.
"Operator should I contact the Lotus for reinforcements?" Althea asked but Eureka sighed to this.
"No, we have to make do with what we have." Eureka said knowing full well the pieces currently in play was the best they had at their disposal. "But I do wish we could end this peacefully somehow." Eureka said seeing that no matter the world War was the same. "Almost out of ammo." Ava said as she saw her ammunition was almost depleted. "Need to find a way to get ammo drops in this world somehow otherwise we'll have to rely on our melee weapons alone." Ava said as she was now starting to miss home because at least there the enemies kept unexplainedly dropping ammo for the Tenno when they die.
(Back with Ven)
Ven began to come to as he saw Umbra was standing over him. Looking to the Warframe Ven saw that they were in a shelter in the field and thus Ven knew what Umbra did. "Where is CC?" Ven asked looking around for the Witch. In response Umbra turned his head showing that CC left not long after causing Ven to growl. "Come on." Ven said as he put his hood back on to better hide his identity. "We have a war to win." Ven said and in turn performed Transference to remerge with Umbra.
Once he was clear of the room Ven then shielded his eyes from a bright flash of something appearing. Rising from the ground almost like it was summoned a new Knightmare began to make itself known to the battle. Looking at it Ven saw how it began to move almost like it was a Warframe with agility and reflexed that came as a benefit to the Tenno.
"I can Run! I can jump!" The pilot cried out sounding like a young girl as the Knightmare did just that. "This is my new body! I don't need the wheelchair anymore! I'm free!" She called out and in turn Ven watched carefully to see what would happen next. Just then large blips appeared on Ven's radar causing him to look and see several Sutherlands approaching.
"You, there!" The pilot ordered as the new Knightmare looked to the source. "Turn all your weapons offline and come out of the cockpit!" The Sutherland pilot ordered as Ven looked ready to jump in. "If you fail to comply within 20 second you will be dealt with as a Terrorist!" The Sutherland pilot called out and thus Ven knew it was time to move in.
"Bastards!" The new Knightmares pilot growled glaring at the Sutherlands. "You tried did you go after!" She trailed off before roaring out and attacking. The Glasgow's fired off their guns and to Ven's surprise it dodged all the bullets like a Tenno would.
"What it dodged all the combined rounds?!" The Pilot gasped as he saw this. "There's no way a Knightmare could've pulled that off." The pilot cried out and in turn much to Ven's shock the blond tendrils of the Knightmare moved about and sliced through all of the Sutherlands tearing them apart and causing them to eject the pilots.
"Wow." Ven gasped as he saw this and thus decided that whoever this was would better serve as an alley then an enemy. Ven then bullet jumped to the Knightmare and thus landed on its shoulder which drew its attention to him. Ven dodged some of the blades and then landed on its face to stare directly at the pilot inside. "Hey, take it easy I'm on your side!" Ven called out causing the Knightmare to ease up.
"Where's my brother?" The pilot asked and thus Ven looked around.
"Don't know but right now innocent people are being murdered and me and my team are one of the only people here who can stop it." Ven said making it clear they needed some backup. "Think you can help stem the tide so we can find your brother?" Ven asked hoping the girl inside would hear him out.
The Knightmare looked to the side a bit as Ven jumped off and landed on a smaller building on even levels to the head. "Alright." The Knightmare's pilot said as the unit itself nodded to the Tenno.
"Alright for now call me Umbra what do I call you?" Ven introduced and asked as he looked to the Knightmare.
"Call me... Nemo because this Knightmare is called Mark Nemo." the Pilot now named Nemo said as Ven saw the pilot just came up with the name on the spot.
"Ok, Nemo." Ven said and in turn they saw more Sutherlands approaching them. "We got company six foes think you can keep up?" Ven asked as he looked to the Knightmare.
"All I see are six murderous fools poisoned by bloody pride." The pilot said as she no doubt also saw them coming their way. "I'll smash that pride of theirs to tiny little bits." Nemo said and thus the pair were ready to move.
But before Ven could move in the blond knives shot from the ground and caused the Knightmares to lose their footing. "Wow." Ven said as he saw the Knightmare next to him had extended those weapons of hers to the ground where he could see movement. Seeing his chance Ven charged into the fight drawing Umbra's Exalted Blade the Tenno sliced through the Knightmare frames with ease disarming them and basically making them useless. Ven managed to take out three of them as his partner had aided from the sky which she had jumped up into.
Once Nemo landed again the three remaining Sutherlands moved in on her. But then to Ven's surprise the Knightmare's head made a full 180-degree turn and in turn its eyes opened up to the foes. It didn't end there as from the arm tendrils shot out and formed into a massive Katana that was then used to destroy the last three Sutherlands with ease. But the entire time Ven saw that Nemo was moving like she could see everything before it happened almost like she was a Tenno. But that was not right he could not sense any Void Fury from her like he would with the other Tenno.
"You figured it out, didn't you?" Nemo said which surprised Ven. "I can see the future lines of the battle." Nemo said basically saying she can predict possible futures. "I can see everything they possibly do." Nemo announced which of course shocked Ven as he could actually see how that could have been used in the past if properly honed.
"Impressive." Ven said as he could almost hear a few Tenno moaning once they hear about this. But knowing that he has this sort of ability Ven could see now that he made the right call to try and keep her as an alley.
(Back with Kallen)
Kallen had once more retracted her Glasgow's Slash Haken as the battle continued around her. Just then Jeramiah in a newly acquired Sutherland rolled in with a few of his troops also in Knightmares. Kallen gasped as she saw them and knew she had to run.
"It's our Glasgow friend." Jeramiah said and in turn opened fire as Kallen drove away.
Just then Eureka jumped in and slammed Volnus Prime into the head of one of the Sutherlands. She then used Shattered Lash to get the other one. Once she was done with the two Sutherlands, she avoided gunfire from Jeramiah who no doubt was still sore over what Ven had done prior. Meanwhile the two headless Sutherlands were effectively blinded. "One of those monsters!" Jeramiah growled as he saw the Tenno had arrived in this battle. "You will pay for your crimes both you and your cohorts!" He added and thus Eureka was ready for him.
Standing atop a broken lamp post Eureka glared at her foe as she spun her Volnus Prime about before holding it at the ready. "Very well... come make me pay." Eureka said as she pointed Volnus Prime at her foe.
(Meanwhile with Kallen)
Kallen was surprised as she was saved by some unknown being that took on some Knightmares in its small size and taken a few out like it was nothing, and then her monitor started to beep showing low power on her mech as she said, "30 minutes left."
"The west entrance," A voice on her radio, being Lelouch, suddenly spoken up which surprise her, with the voice spoken up again, "Use the track to move to the west entrance."
"Who's this, how do you know this code?!" Kallen said demanding to know as the voice said, "That doesn't matter, if you want to win you just have to trust me, and I hope that other thing is there with you."
"I'm a person thank you very much," Eureka said which surprise Kallen once again as someone else has gotten into their radio transmission as Lelouch said, "I'm impressed you are able to hack this transmission."
(Eureka)
"Well, it wasn't that hard really when you're scanning for different signals, now what do you want?" Eureka said to the boy on the radio while dodging some Sutherlands shots as they fired at her, as the guy said, "Try to draw the enemies' forces over to the train tracks, I have a plan to take care of them in one move."
"I hope this isn't a trap, otherwise I will hunt you down so I can kill you myself," Eureka said as Lelouch said, "Don't worry it's not now, do it."
"Fine," Eureka said as she turned to the Sutherland and leaped away as Jeramiah said to his troops, "After it, don't let it get away!"
Soon enough the chase was on as both Warframe and red Knightmare were running with the Sutherlands behind them as Kallen said, "Okay what am I supposed to do now."
"Just keep running," Eureka said as both her and Kallen keep going with the Sutherland behind them, then suddenly train appeared ahead of the two as the voice on the radio said, "Sense you trusted me you're going to win. Jump into the train."
Kallen did so as Eureka jump to the side and scan the train as she can tell this was a transport train for the empire, as Eureka said, "So that's your plan."
The Sutherland behind them was hit by the train so it grabbed onto it stopping it as Jeramiah order his troops, "All of you go after that Glasgow and that monster!?"
"Yes my lord!" the soldier said as they try to jump over the train only a couple to get hit by a grappler as they fall down in pieces with the others that did make it pass the one who just attack them, only for Eureka turn back and hit away disabling them as Jeramiah was surprise by this turn of event as he turn to see a Sutherland in a building as he said, "Shoot by friendly fire? What's your name and your unit?"
Before Jeramiah could say anything else the Sutherland suddenly open fire on him taken him by surprise as he said, "My god a terrorist?!"
He tried to retreat only for mech's leg to be shot up disabling his Knightmare as he started to panic as he pulled out his weapon and started to say, "You son of a b-
Before he could finish, he noticed the Glasgow's was coming at him and soon ejected from his Knightmare quickly with Eureka said, "Coward."
"You saved me, but how did you get a hold of a Sutherland?" Kallen ask as she turn to the one who helped her but saw the Knightmare was already gone with Kallen confused by this as she turned to the being that was helping her and saw her gone as well as she said, "What, where did they go?"
"Kallen, what the hell was that radio message earlier?" Ohgi said as he and soon all the other members of this small resistant group came up to her as she said, "What, he contacted you too?"
"Sure, did and Yoshino group too," Ohgi said as suddenly their radio started to play static before Lelouch voice spoken up saying, "Are you in charge?"
"Hu? Ah yeah," Ohgi said as Lelouch soon said to them, "I present to you the cargo on that train over there. Their tools for your victory. IF you want to use them to win then follow my orders."
The cargo carts of the train were open reviling Sutherlands in them with many weapons as well as Kallen and many other were surprised by this as everyone spoken up saying, "There's more in here."
"Here too!" a guy said from down the way of the train as another guy said, "Amazing, maybe we should give this guy a chance."
"All this, but how?" Kallen question as Lelouch said to her, "Woman in the Glasgow?"
"Y-yes!" she replied to him as Lelouch said to her, "Stay where you are, your unit is going to run decoy, you got that?"
"Ah- understood!" Kallen said to him with Lelouch soon ask her, "Energy filler status?"
"About 15 minutes' worth?" she said while Lelouch said to her, "Then recharge it, in 10 minutes I'll contact you with your next instructions."
"Wait where is Ava?" Eureka asked and in turn from atop a building Ava landed surprising the group.
"Hey what did I miss?" Ava asked as she holstered her Vulkar Wraith showing she was the sniper from before.
"Apparently we have a new friend." Eureka said as she looked around noting it had grown quiet around them. "Ava we're going to do a perimeter check make sure there are no surprised in store for us." Eureka said and thus Ava nodded leaving the Japanese Rebels behind.
"What or who are they?" One of the rebels asked as Ohgi almost didn't want to find out.
(With Ven and Nemo)
Ven ran a soldier through as he and Nemo had finished clearing the area of enemies. "Good I was just about out of knives." Ven said as he noticed his knife count was all but empty. Thank goodness that Nataruk had an infinite amount of ammo to use otherwise he'd be forced to relying on his melee weapon. Ven then walked over to the dead Britannian's and scanned their weapons. "Ordis." Ven said as he finished scanning the weapons.
"Weapon blueprints created and modified for Tenno use, Operator." Ordis said over the comm. link with Ven. "Shall I start constructing them on the foundry." Ordis asked as Ven thought about it and had his choice.
"Go ahead they might come in handy." Ven said and in turn cut the link. "Nemo ready for the next bout?" Ven asked looking to Nemo who nodded to this.
"Yes." Nemo said showing she was ready for more battle.
But just then their comms came to life and the two heard a new voice. "Third creature and unmarked Knightmare Frame can you hear me?" The voice asked as Ven heard it as did the Pilot.
"What the who is this?" Ven asked as he tried to figure out where it came from.
"Not important I'm preparing a counterattack within the next 10 minutes, and I will require your aid in it." The young man said as Ven heard him out and sighed.
"I assume you have a plan for us to get out?" Ven asked as he found this curious.
"No, I have a plan for us to win." He said and in turn Ven muted it a bit.
"Ordis trace the signal." Ven ordered and in turn Ordis nodded.
"Already working on it, Operator." Ordis said and with a nod Ven in turn he unmuted the signal.
"Ok what do you have in mind." Ven said trying to keep the guy talking so he can track him down.
"I'll be in touch await instructions." The voice spoke before he cut the call despite Ordis still tracing his signal.
"Well, no choice then." Ven said as he then glared at the distance where he knew Clovis was currently hold up in. "Well, I'm counting on you Nemo." Ven said as he patted the head of the Knightmare and when his hand moved a device activated and began flashing at a steady pace.
(Meanwhile with Clovis)
"The terrorists are mixed among the Eleven populace and are mounting a minor resistance against us, but the pose no threat to our vastly superior army it's those three things that our troops have reported and the new Knightmare that was sighted." Bartley said to Clovis who sat on his throne.
"We know that." Cloves said with a tired sigh. "Moving on." He said focusing on the current targets at hand. The Knightmare in question had come out of nowhere and thus had left its mark already with the three small creatures capable of slicing through a Knightmare like nothing.
"Understood, your highness. The gas capsules will be-" Bartley began but Clovis then cut him off.
"What the public thinks." Clovis asked as he rather not makes Britannia look bad right now.
"Of course. And we'll keep searching for her and the data thieves." Bartley said knowing that they were flushed out and now simply had to be subdued and captured.
"Either way, I want her captured dead or alive." Clovis said thought it was not like it would make much difference in the end, seeing as they had been studying her and her abilities. Killing her was just another way to subdue her.
(Back with the Rebels)
Ava and Eureka eventually returned and found the area was clear for now. When they got back, they saw that the Rebels were already setting up for the push. "Hey, are you guys sure about this?" Tamaki asked clearly suspicious of the voice. "They've all had their IFFs removed. What if this is a trap?" He asked as Ava and Eureka knew this guy had the right idea.
"The other side has total advantage in this war. They don't need to set ant traps!" Ohgi said from the cockpit of a Sutherland.
"Okay everyone, let's go. Get to your assigned points, and-"
"P1, can you move?" the voice asked over the radio. "It operates basically the same as what you're used to." He said giving the Rebels a quick rundown on how to use a Sutherland.
"Hey, can't you tell us who you are? At least give us your name?" Ohgi asked as they needed to call this voice something.
"I can't do that. What if these signals are being intercepted?" The voice said as the Tenno saw the logic in those words.
"Fair point..." Ava said which got everyone's attention. "I mean I was able to slice into your comm signals." Ava said and in turn they all looked to the Mirage Prime Warframe.
"Wait you were the Sniper!?" They asked and in turn Ava made a double peace sign.
"Guilty as charge." Ava said not even denying what she did. Their communications weren't exactly top-of-the-line, so it was always a possibility. It was child's play for Ava to slice into it and hear everything going on between them.
"Anyways Q1 is on schedule, enemies Sutherland, probably two of them will reach you in 23 seconds... shoot them through the wall," Lelouch said as Eureka and Ava check their maps and caught two enemies coming from where the guy on the radio said they will be as Eureka said, "Interesting."
"With the Sutherland he's in, he is able to see the enemy coming, easy. This guy is much of a genius as I am," Ava said with Eureka said to her, "Maybe but is Ven that had to save your butt anytime when you're over your head."
"He's out of his mind," A Japanese rebellion said as he didn't believe a word, he said with Ohgi think differently as he said, "Everyone double check your weapons."
"What are you serious?" the guy said as Eureka soon said to that guy, "Well you can either follow the plan or take a swan dive off a roof, as that way you can be more graceful when you die than being shoot up or blown to bits, your choice."
The guy sweat to that as he just grumbled and wonder how did, she even hear him as all the rebels were getting their guns ready and stood in a fire line ready to shoot, as Kallen gotten in place as she stop and rested for moment with the two Sutherland coming her way.
(clovis)
"Enemies spotted at point F-31," A general said with Clovis said, "A faint, eh? How pedestrian." With Bartley soon order, "Tell, Lazlo and Delas squads to go straight in! Send in Eugen and Valerie and have them strike from the rear!"
(Rebellion)
"3...2...1," Ohgi counted down as he and the other Sutherland had their hand on the triggers with the Tenno above supporting them as the enemies Sutherland came into the kill zone, everyone open fire destroying the two Sutherland on the spot.
(Clovis)
"Sir Eugen and Sir Valerie, both lost," A general said as Clovis was surprised by this as he said, "An Ambush?"
(Lelouch)
With Lelouch sitting in his Knightmare as he held the black knight chess piece as he gave a small laugh as he Thought, "An I.D signal can be a double edge sword, and beside if the terrorists and those 4 wild cards follow all the orders, I Issue my task at hand will surely be completed."
"P1, P4, P7 Move 100 meters to the right and fire your slash harkens towards 3 o'clock, U.K 1 and 2 advance ahead and take out the enemies ahead, U.K 3 and 4 a squad is heading your way, take them out."
(Ven)
AS Ven and Nemo were hiding in the shadows as a squad of Knightmares goes by them, Ven said, "Just like he said, let's go Nemo."
"Right!" Meno said as she and Ven both came out from the shadows and took down the Sutherlands in a heartbeat, with an enemy on the roof was soon taken out by Kallen as she given the Sutherland a hard punch to its robotic head putting it out of commission.
(Clovis)
"Sir Glauber has ejected! His unit has been lost!" Someone said as the prince was furious as no matter what move he or the generals make they were being stop at every step of the way as Bartley said, "Change our code they are intercepting our transmission!"
"We already have sir, 4 times!" a soldier said as he already changed the code many times, but they keep getting hacked as Bartley said to him, "Do it again!"
"This failure is unacceptable!" Prince Clovis said as he gotten up from his seat as Bartley said to him, "Forgive me!"
On the big screen, Lloyd's face appeared as he said to the prince and generals in the war room as he said, "Good afternoon." Surprising everyone in there as Bartley said to him, "what is it? We're in the middle of an operation!"
"I say it's time to deploy the A.S.E.E.C special weapon," Lloyd said as the prince said to him, "We have no time for this right now!"
(On the battlefield)
The rebellion was attacking the empire left and right, with them having no idea what is going on with all the orders given they just keep running in an ambush and getting blow up, smash up, cut up, or just beaten down by a hammer there was no victory in their future.
Ven look at the progress that he and Nemo are making along with the rest of the Tenno, and the rebels, the empire was losing more troop than they can send in as Ven said, "At this rate we may finish early."
"Sound good, I'm pretty much tap out of ammo and been hitting them with my hammer," Eureka said as Ava, "Yeah, and at this point is just shooting monkeys in a barrel."
"That's saying goes shooting fish in a barrel, not monkeys," Eureka said with Eve said to her, "Not my version it doesn't." Ven just shakes his head as he said, "Oh boy, anyways just keep at it and if you have to, use the enemies' weapons as needed."
"Cool, giving them a taste of their own medicine," Ava said as Ven gotten ready for the next attack as he saw another squad of Sutherland heading his way as he said to Nemo, "Let's go."
(Prince Clovis)
"We just lost Lazlo and Delas Squads," a general said as the prince step up and started to give orders as he said, "So do it, send it Quincy's squad!" Bartley looked worry as he said to his prince, "My lord that could break the encirclement,"
(Lelouch)
"Now then, the enemies have 5 options, their move," Lelouch said as he is prepared to face all 5 moves it seem as he kept watch on his screen.
(Prince clovis)
"Reinforce the breach with some of the units guarding me, all we knight enemy's forces are here," Prince Clovis said with no idea he was walking into the biggest trap there is.
(Lelouch)
As the schoolboy was playing around with a bishop piece before putting it down.
(battlefield)
With Jeramiah heading back to the prince's base of operation and saw many squad head down the road, as he noticed they were from the prince's guard squad as he said, "Who order to break formation?"
(Lelouch)
"That's a more stupid move that I imagine as I expected," Lelouch said as he can use it to his advantage as he lifted up the radio and call out to Kallen as he said, "Hey Q1, do you have the area map?"
"Yes, I have a map of the old town, but it has no current landmark," Kallen said as Lelouch said to her, "It will do."
(Prince Clovis)
"Alright send in Burtz and the other too," The Prince order as Barley believe the prince was making a foolish move but he has no choice but to follow.
(Lelouch)
"Mission number 3 now," Lelouch said as they were moving onto the 3rd stage of his plan now.
(Prince Clovis)
"Concentrate our forces there, Surround them!" The prince order as his forces moved into the center dot located on the map were Kallen current location was at.
(Lelouch)
"Is everything prepared," Lelouch asked with Ava said, "Everything but the bathroom sinks, not like those are needed anyways." Lelouch didn't know to laugh or sweat drop to that commit.
(Prince Clovis)
"The enemies main forces is that Center dot," Prince Clovis said as he was sure that the rebellions were there as he said, "Finish every last one of them off."
(The battlefield)
As the Empire forces moves closer to the center area, upon reaching it they just ran into the other Squad that was coming in as well, with everyone stopping, confused on where the enemies were located. While they scrambled for an answer the two lady Tenno were looking down from a roof top near the Knightmare frames as Ava said, "Man they are stupid."
"Seems that is what they get for following a false signal," Eureka said as she held up a rocket launcher that she... Borrow from the enemy and fire at the center of the area.
(Down below)
The Japanese rebellion as already escape through underground tunnel ways as Kallen saw everyone was through, she fired her grappler at a support wall and brought it down.
(The battlefield)
With the combine strike of eureka and Kallen hits, they collapse the entire area the empire was at and fallen into a pit trap, disabling all Knightmares that was around in a mere second.
(Prince clovis)
Prince Clovis and all the generals were shocked by what they saw on their maps as the entire area went red with every unit, they had was lost with it.
(Lelouch)
Lelouch started laughing like a mad man as he said, "My plan work didn't? I can do it, I can, I can defeat Britannia!"
(Ven)
The Umbra Excalibur user was listening to Lelouch's rant as Orbit had trace his signal and started to listen in on him as he said, "He's sound too much like a Orokin himself." AS Ven can tell the guy was too arrogant. Sooner or later there will be a time where he may be faced with an impossible task ahead of himself.
"So, what should we do now?" Nemo ask with Ven look to her as he said, "We take care of any stragglers, and maybe the remaining of the main force itself." with the Nemo nodded as she said, "Got it."
(Prince Clovis)
The prince was looking very pale as he just lost a major part of his forces as he said, "w-what the hell am I up against? what if he's even better than Tohdoh?!"
He was desperate now, and desperation can drive a man to do many things he wouldn't under normal circumstances. "Lloyd!" Clovis called
"Yes, your highness?" he replied, not even trying to hide his excitement. He knew exactly where this was going even from his side of the screen.
"Can it win? Will you toy beat them?" Clovis asked as he wanted to be sure that this new weapon can tackle this new threat.
"My lord, please be so kind as to call it Lancelot." Clovis requested no doubt taking a certain pride when he said this.
(Later with Suzaku)
On Lloyd's team's transport, everything was preparing for the Lancelot's very first combat experience. And it was Suzaku's first time in a real Knightmare. He had done time in a simulator before, but now he was in the real thing. "Did you read the manual?" Cecile asked over an intercom into the earpiece that they had given him.
"Pretty much." Suzaku replied as he put on the pilot suit that they had provided.
"Well done. You scored at the top of the class in the simulator." Cecil said as she was impressed with what Suzaku scored from his records.
"Hey, look... about what you told me earlier..." Suzaku asked as he left the medical car he had been in while suiting up in his new pilot outfit.
"Huh? It could be, but the possibility is nearly zero." Cecil asked having a feeling Suzaku may knew one of the two people he spoken of earlier.
"But that means there is still a chance, right?" Suzaku asked while he walked ready for battle.
"Yes, I'm afraid that's true." Cecil began as she knew there had to be a reason but first duty before personal emotions. "Even so, you're not to do anything reckless." Cecil warned as this was the first deployment of the Lancelot since they finished up tests with the Noir Model. "The new system is not outfitted with an ejection mechanism." She warned knowing if things get hairy Suzaku would be unable to eject from the battle.
"Okay, I understand, Miss Cecile." he said as he walked over to the Knightmare he would pilot. As he got near it, the tarp covering it was removed, and revealed the Lancelot in all of its glory. "That's it?" he asked, a little stunned by it as the white mecha was clearly cutting edge.
"Yes. The advanced weapon developed by us in the Advanced Special Envoy Engineering Corps. Lancelot. It's the world's first Seventh Generation Knightmare Frame." Cecil said introducing Suzaku to his brand new Knightmare frame.
(Lancelot Storage)
"Well, if you're ready Suzaku," Lloyd said from a section of the transport right behind the mecha where he and Cecile stood. "Shall we proceed with the initial start-up?" Lloyd asked showing he was ready to move out.
(With Suzaku)
As Suzaku climbed into the machine, Cecile and Lloyd went through all the processes to its first activation. There was a lot of complex code, and such being said that Suzaku could not exactly keep up with. Everything was in place key inserted and the final system check was complete. The Lancelot was ready for deployment.
Once everything was complete, Suzaku prepared for launch. "Lancelot, activate ME Boost." Suzaku ordered and in turn it was time.
"Lancelot, launch!"
(Lancelot Storage Unit)
And without a moment of hesitation, the white Knightmare sped out of the transport, leaving a trail of dust in its wake. "Hahaha, running full throttle right out of the gate!" Lloyd remarked, a sense of pride at his masterpiece. Unaware to them they were being spied on from nearby.
(Landing Craft)
"Shit." A voice cursed as they saw what happened. "I come back to a firefight of all things; Ava is never going to let me live this down." The voice said and in turn the platform he was on began to lower. "Time to join the fight." He said and in turn the Landing Craft took off to the battle.
(With Suzaku)
Meanwhile, Suzaku made his way to the battlefield in the Lancelot. "Its way cooler than the manual! With this..." Suzaku remarked in the cockpit as he held his wound for a moment. As he neared his destination, he saw one of the hijacked enemy Sutherlands.
(Tamaki)
"Huh? What is that?" Tamaki wondered aloud as he saw an unknown white Knightmare speeding towards him. "It doesn't look like a Suther-" he was cut off as his head was knocked off, and he ejected to safety.
(With Lelouch)
Inside the Sutherland Lelouch chuckled over what was going on. "Another push and the check point will fall." Lelouch remarked as he saw what was going on.
"This is B group! Reporting enemy presence!" A communication went off as Lelouch was surprised by this.
"Reinforcements? Real battle is different, isn't it?" Lelouch said before he then picked up the radio. "Status?" Lelouch asked as he needed to know what was going on out there.
"Everyone ejected, but they took out four units in nothing flat!"
"Enemy numbers?" Lelouch asked as he found this to be concerning.
"Just one!" The rebel reported as this caught Lelouch off guard. "I think it's a new model! I never seen anything like-Aaah!" He was cut off as it was clear the new unit caught them.
"What's happening out there!?" Lelouch demanded and in turn it was Ava who spoke up.
"Good news and bad news." Ava spoke as she no doubt had a good view of what was going on.
(Ava)
Taking a new sniping position Ava saw what just happened. "Good news is that our guys are safe." Ava spoke as she saw the Lancelot through her scope.
"What's the bad news?" The leader asked as he needed answers.
"The bad news is that our enemies are busting out a goddamned brand spanking new, toy." Ava said as she saw what was going on.
(Eureka)
"I can see the new unit; this thing is clearly more advanced than the average Sutherland and the pilot clearly knows what he's doing." Eureka said as she saw what was going on.
(Ven)
Ven and Nemo were heading to the location with Ven riding on the Mark Nemo's shoulder. "Hey unknown leader, have the rebels fall back if what I'm hearing is correct, only my squad and I have the best chance at stopping this thing." Ven spoke knowing with the tracker he planted on her Knightmare he'll be able to figure out where the Mark Nemo came from and chase it down.
"Once we get there I can." Nemo began but Ven cut her off.
"No." Ven said which surprised Nemo. "I'll deal with this Knightmare I need you to do something else for me." Ven said as Nemo was surprised by this.
"Why should I?!" Nemo demanded as she glared at Ven.
"Because I rather avoid any more casualties if it can be helped." Ven said knowing full well that people died in war but if he can stop it then it would be alright.
(On the Battlefield)
On the battlefield, the white Knightmare took out another unit as the cockpit block ejected. "Bastard!" one terrorists declared as he and another opened fire on it. As they did, they discovered that it had little effect due the devices built into its arm.
"Looks like that thing has shields built into its arms." Eureka said as she analyzed the situation. "It's faster than the Sutherlands and those are the latest models of Knightmares. The Mark Nemo could possibly change the tides, but we can't expose that ace until we know whose side its truly on." Eureka said as she did not want to gamble on maybes. "Ava, listen up I hope you have you're K-Board because we need to stop this thing." Eureka said and thus Ava was ready to fight.
Meanwhile the Lancelot sliced the heads off of one of the Sutherlands with its own Slash Harken's before slamming its land treader into the other. Both pilots ejected before gun fire began to hit it leaving bullet holes. Looking to the source Ava rode in on her K-Board firing her AkBolto Prime on the enemy. Once she got close enough, she jumped off the K-Board and used her Kogake Prime to spin kick the new foe in the head. This did some damage, but the Lancelot was tougher than it looked as it managed to handle it.
Next came Eureka who game down from the sky with her axe ready to attack. Slamming the signature weapon of Gara's Prime variant she managed to bust through the barrier if only for a brief moment before the Knightmare forced her off. Ava and Eureka regrouped with each other as they saw what happened.
"So just as I suspected its shields are focused on its arms and past that we can hit it." Eureka said as she saw what this meant for them.
"So that means that if we can hit it, we can hurt it, and if we can hurt it, we can beat it." Ava said no doubt already seeing how they can use this fact to their advantage.
"Right but first, we need to get past those shields." Eureka said as she knew they were not like Corpus Shields that if you hit them enough, they burst and need to recharge. "You go for one Shield I'll go for the other." Eureka said as she spun her axe and got ready for battle.
"Right because just the two of us will take down a shield we don't know just how it actually works." Ava said with a smirk and a slight sarcastic tone in her voice. The two Tenno then charged into the battle once more as they began fighting against the Lancelot. Both Warframes were running dry on Void Energy for their abilities, and they would rather avoid alternatives that could cannibalize their frames shields or combat energies. Thus, Ava used her Mirage Primes Kogake Prime to send fast punches and kicks against the Lancelot while Eureka slammed her axe against the enemy Knightmare.
The Lancelot backed off while Ava began using hand to hand to force the Lancelot back as it used its shield to protect itself. Once that was done it eased back and blocked Eureka's attack before it fired off a Slash Harken against the Tenno. The Tenno avoided it as they saw how it used that hook as a melee weapon. Eureka then used Gara Prime's Splinter Storm and in turn caused the Lancelot to be surrounded by Glass Shards as it began to attack the Shields of the Knightmare.
"Go!" Eureka ordered and thus Ava went next. She jumped up and fired off Prism against the Knightmare hoping the shields it had would fall. But alas it seems the Tenno underestimated their opponent as he used the land crawlers to roll back before firing the Slash Harken at the two Tenno. The avoided the attacks and thus saw their foe coming straight for them. Ava detonated Prism but she was too late and though the ocular cameras were blinded she forgot the scanners the Knightmare was built with. The Tenno quickly got out of the way of the attack and in turn saw their enemy come out unscathed bar a few scratches on the armor.
"Well, that's just great." Ava cursed as she saw what happened.
"In coming!" Eureka called and thus two of the anchors came at the pair. Just then an energy arrow hit the two and exploded knocking them off course. Looking to the source the pair of Tenno saw Ven had joined the fight.
"Ven about Void damn time!" Ava said as she saw their leader had arrived.
"Sorry I'm late I had to help a friend." Ven said as he glared at the foe. "What are we dealing with?" Ven asked and thus Eureka summed it up.
"A brand new Knightmare fresh off the factory floor and in its first field test." Eureka said quickly as they all were ready for battle.
"Great." Ven said as he then glared at the Knightmare but then his left eye began to glow through the Transference. "What the?" Ven asked as for a moment he felt data transfer into his mind. First the Lancelot will charge at them to force them to split, then it would use the Slash Harkens to try and coral them in, and then try and make a grab for at least two of them to restrain them. "Guys do not split up!" Ven ordered confusing the pair.
"What?" Ava asked as she voiced it.
"Just trust me, it's going to charge at us, and once it does, we'll charge in ourselves and slide on between its legs." Ven ordered and thus Ava and Eureka nodded.
"On your mark." Eureka said and thus they were ready.
Just then the Lancelot charged just as Ven predicted and thus the Tenno did the same. Ven of course went between its legs with Slash Dash while Ava and Eureka spun around the legs and joined Ven on the other side of their foe. the Knightmare turned around and fired off its weapons again only for the Tenno to duck and avoid it thankful for their smaller size. Once he was back on his feet more information began to come to Ven.
"Follow my lead!" Ven called out and thus the battle went on as Ven was all but predicting what the Lancelot was going to do and when it was going to do it.
(With CC)
CC saw the entire battle from a safe distance as she saw what Ven was doing. "Hardly a day and already you're starting to learn what your Geass can do." CC said as from the looks of it the Geass was predicting the battle based on one singular foe. "Let's see what you and Nemo can accomplish together." CC said as she was invested in this fight. Unaware to CC the Man in the Wall was also watching grinning at the scene all the same finding this battle to be entertaining to no end.
(With Lloyd)
"Well, we finally see how these alleged monsters fair against the Lancelot." Lloyd said as he saw the Tenno in action.
"They are clearly adaptive, but I can't find anything on their specs." Cecil said as she tried cross referencing them but had found nothing on them.
"Hmm perhaps we can find them and do a deep study of them." Lloyd said as he knew that if they wanted to learn more capturing them was their best option. And who knows they might even make way for an 8 Generation Knightmare Frame once the Lancelot has run its course.
(Back to the Battle)
The three Tenno were now toe to toe with the Lancelot as Ven used the Nataruk to keep it on its toes while Ava and Eureka fought it from the sides. The battle could go either way but for Ven it was only going to go one way as unknown to him his Geass sees the one enemy and thus helped him by giving him the exact data he needs to win and if it changes so too does the data. So as Ven continued to fight he jumped off the wall and went for the cockpit. The Lancelot saw this and swung its arm at Ven. Ven spun over the arm and went skyward and landed on the Lancelot's head.
Drawing his sword Ven was about to stab its eyes and scanners out only to be thrown off when the Lancelot used its speed to catch Ven by surprise. Ven fired off Nataruk again before landing on the ground as the energy arrow hit Lancelot. "Why can't we have infinite bullets?" Ava asked a bit annoyed that they don't have such a thing.
"Um we have another problem." Eureka said as she looked to where they were. "Who's watching the civilians." Eureka said and thus Ven knew what to do.
"Ava Eureka I'll make an opening you two head out and get to where they are hiding." Ven said but the pair were shocked.
"What but we're not going to." Ava began but Ven cut her off.
"Don't worry I got help." Ven said and thus the two saw something coming from the sky.
"No." Ava gasped and soon from behind a roar was heard and thus A Chroma Prime slammed its Gram Prime on the Lancelot's shoulder causing it damage. The Lancelot was shocked by this before the Warframe flipped over and joined the others.
"Jeez even in different worlds you guys still need me to come and rescue, you." The Tenno said through his Warframe.
"Welcome back, Sayak." Ven said as he was happy to see Sayak was back from his mission.
"Alright you two keep this thing here, we'll go find the Civilians." Eureka said and in turn Ven was ready. Sayak then used the ability Elemental Ward to give his friends a boost in their shields cycling through element and reactivating the ability as he did so. Once that was done Ven began firing of Nataruk again and the Lancelot blocked it giving both Aya and Eureka an opening to escape. Once they were gone the two Tenno charged in too the fight with Sayak activating Vex Armor first before taking the charge. The two avoided the Slash Harken and thus were now taking on Lancelot by themselves.
(Suzaku)
During the entire fight Suzaku had tried to take it easy on them trying to avoid harming them. But that was a mistake as these new soldier types were clearly masters of the battlefield. Trying his best Suzaku growled as he felt the pain from his side return. "I have to stop these things to make sure Lelouch and that girl are ok." Suzaku said as he looked to the foes. "Maybe if I can take them down this chaos will come to an end." Suzaku said hoping that they'd have a chance to win this fight.
(Back with the Tenno)
"This white ass fucker is fast." Sayak said as he slid on the ground with Gram Prime still in hand.
"Having second thoughts?" Ven asked as he looked to Sayak for a bit.
Sayak grinned before he charged into the battle again. "Nope!" He roared and went on the attack against Lancelot unaware that Ven was trying to guide the Knightmare to a particular location.
(Back with Lelouch)
Lelouch growled as he saw what was going on down there. Thankfully the Tenno seemed to have aid of their own and were thus giving the Resistance time to fallback. Of course, Lelouch gave the order since it would be for the best to make a tactical retreat, after all if his math was right the path to the king was wide open.
If Lelouch had stayed he would have had the opportunity to see the arrival of their other ally to the area.
(Back to the Battle)
Ven and Sayak kept up the fight as they seemed to be losing. But that was part of Ven's plan he simply needed to let the Lancelot toss them around for a bit before springing their trap. "Well, we're cornered, I assume you have plan since you don't get tossed around that easily." Sayak said as he looked ready for more.
"Wait for it." Ven said and thus he saw the Lancelot coming straight for them. "NEMO NOW!" Ven called out and thus the trap was sprung.
Almost as if through some sort of divine intervention, the Blond Tendrils of the Mark Nemo shot out of the ground and thus had narrowly speared the Lancelot. Coming from inside a trashed building a mysterious Knightmare jumped down and blocked the Lancelot's path. "What the-!?" Suzaku gasped as he saw the new arrival. The Blond Knives were digging through the ground and from the looks of it the Mark Nemo had retracted them to her person.
The Knightmare was unlike any that Suzaku had ever seen. It was mostly black, with areas of red on the torso, arms, and legs. It had six hair-like extensions hanging from the head, which were thick yellow cords with dagger-like attachments on the ends. And curiously, it appeared to lack land spinners. Also, there was something about it that seemed almost familiar about it to Suzaku.
"Ok is it just me or is that one huge ass Warframe." Sayak said as he saw the new arrival.
"Trust me I had similar thoughts when I saw it." Ven said as they knew it was time to back off a bit. Just then the Mark Nemo charged at the Lancelot and in turn began the next round of this bout.
As the battle went on Suzaku was in shock as while the Tenno managed to face it toe to toe that this was different. For the first time today, the Lancelot had run into an enemy that was not overwhelmed by it. In fact, it was fighting on even ground, and performing on equal footing. As the two engaged in close quarters combat, one of its hairs suddenly moved as if it had a mind of its own and aimed to strike at the opposing Knightmare. The Lancelot then quickly backed away and pondered the next course of action.
During this Ven and Sayak saw the entire thing going down with Ordis recording the entire battle for analysis. "She's moving as good if not better than a Tenno." Ven said as he observed the battle.
"Worried?" Sayak asked as he could see good reasons to get worried if the Britannians got their hands on something like this.
"Very." Ven said knowing she was far too valuable to freelance. "Sayak go and make sure the civilians are ok." Ven said as he got up ready to move.
"What are you going to do?" Sayak asked and then Ven smirked.
"Pay a certain prince a visit." Ven said and in turn began to head out himself.
(Mark Nemo Cockpit)
Nunally Vi Britannia now with blond hair was in the oddest of cockpits bare of her clothing with her hands and legs connected to some sort of sphere like device that acted as the Mark Nemo's controls. Looking behind her she saw Ven and Sayak leaving as no doubt they had other things to worry about. Ven's plan was spot on and thus the blond smirked showing she was ready to do some damage to the Lancelot.
"Now then, let's see..." She said, and a Geass sigil appeared in her left eye and thus she began to scan the entire battlefield with it. "...Victory is possible, but not guaranteed. Too many factors to consider the most likely outcome. And there are definitely possibilities of us losing." The Geass in her eye then disappeared as she glared at her foe.
"Then maybe we should retreat now. My brother and the others have gotten away." A spectral image of the real Nunnally said to the other her.
"You're too soft." The blond growled as she glared at her current contractor. "But have it your way. After all, we've already achieved our goal here." The blonde Nunnally said knowing it was time to fallback for now.
(Battle)
The Mark Nemo then leaped up and bounced off the wall of a building and over the Lancelot as it began to run away.
"You're not getting away!" Suzaku declared as he pursued. While their machine's may have been equal in combat, but Suzaku's land spinners that Nemo lacked gave him a huge edge in this pursuit, and he was quickly gaining on Nemo.
"Let's see, what is a good way to escape..." Nemo said as she once again activated her Geass. With its power she saw her path to freedom and smirked at it. "Perfect." She said but then grew frustrated. "Though I don't think you'll like my method here, Nunnally." Nemo said before she made the black Knightmare use one of its hairs to strike at a nearby skyscraper, much to Suzaku's confusion. The debris it caused to fall wouldn't be much use at slowly him down, and he quickly passed by.
It was then that he suddenly heard a scream of terror, and Suzaku saw a woman clutching a baby falling to what would be certain death for both. Without a moment's hesitation, he quickly turned around, and leaped into the air to catch her, and safely
Nunally was no doubt angry about this as Nemo had precited she would be. "You'll get over. At least she lived." Nemo said to the real Nunnally as she escaped from the Lancelot. Nunnally clearly wasn't very pleased with the other her endangering and innocent to get away.
(Meanwhile with Ven)
Back at the group of Britannian transports, one of the few guards raised his rifle to halt the figure he had heard about over the radio. H-halt! This is Prince Clovis's personal transport!" The Soldier spoke his hand shaking as he saw the monster who slaughtered his brothers in arms so easily.
"Good to know." Ven said and in turn spun in and sliced the soldiers head off killing him instantly. Sheathing his weapon Ven continued to make his way inside as he took the soldiers gun to add to the other one, he had stolen off a corpse on the way here. "If my hunch is right, the voice will be coming this way." Ven said and thus got ready to clear the way for said voice.
(Meanwhile with the Tenno)
Meanwhile the Tenno had managed to find the civilians as well as the rebels and in turn were keeping a lookout for any threats. Earlier on the way here Eureka contacted Q1 and had her set her Knightmare to explode for one last Ambush. Once they heard the explosion from the distance it was clear that the plan worked and thus the Britannian's were mostly to a skeleton crew on the field.
Just then Ohgi saw something and ran outside passing Eureka who was bandaging up someone who got hurt. "Hey calm down!" Sayak called out as the Japanese and Rebels were having a spat. "You idiot with the gun yelling at scared people won't calm them down!" Sayak scolded as the Tenno saw the people were afraid not only of the Britannians but of them.
"You know whenever we roll into town we normally get praised and love." Ava said as she walked over and stood next to Sayak. "This... is not praise and love." Ava added as Sayak agreed.
"Yeah, it's going to take some getting used to." Sayak said as he knew this was a big change for them.
Nearby Kallen and Ohgi walked in as the pair had their own conversation. "Hey Ohgi, who was that voice we heard?" Kallen asked.
"Damned if I know. He doesn't answer when I call so maybe he bought it." Ohgi said and in turn noise was heard outside.
"Hit the deck!" Eureka called out and in turn she activated her ability Mass Vitrify. It was a good thing she did as soon the doors were blasted off and a Britannian tank came in.
"There, ya see!?" Tamaki yapped as he glared at Ohgi. "Instead of following someone we don't even know, we should have used the poison gas!" Tamaki added as Sayak glared at the hot head while also getting a sense of Deja Vu from him for some reason.
"Wait Poison what?" Sayak asked as he looked to the Tenno for that one.
"Long story." Ava added as they were ready for another fight. The Glass Wall buffered the tank but now the Tank blocked there only way out of the shelter.
"But he..." Ohgi said, well aware that neither Nagata nor Saito made it to the rendezvous points.
"Damn them to hell!" Tamaki cursed as he recalled that as well.
Britannian soldiers then filed in and raised their weapons. "So, this is where you Eleven vermin scurried off too." a solider commented from atop a tank. "Prepare to fire!" All the soldiers took aim and in response the Tenno stood as a wall to protect the people.
"Not on our watch!" Sayak said pointing Gram Prime at their foe.
"Your funeral!" The Soldier said as he was looking forward to finally putting these monsters down and dragging them to a dissection table. "Commence!" The Soldier began but was cut off by a new voice.
"Attention all forces! Cease fire at once!" The voice of Prince Clovis La Britannia himself said over speakers. This surprised many, both military and terrorist alike as even the Tenno were surprised by this "I Clovis, Third Prince of Britannia, and royal viceroy of Area 11, hereby command you! All forces are ordered to cease fire at once! You will also cease destruction on any buildings or property! All casualties, whether Britannian or Eleven, shall be treated equally and without prejudice! In the name of Clovis la Britannia, you are hereby ordered! Cease fire at once! I shall allow no further fighting!" Clovis announced as the Tenno then put the pieces together.
"So that's what he went to do." Sayak said as he figured Ven had a hand in this.
(Back with Clovis)
Ven and Lelouch had Clovis at sword and gunpoint and with his entire staff slaughtered by the Tenno Clovis had no way to counter them. "Are you satisfied?" Clovis asked after the lights went out.
"Very. Well done." Lelouch said as Ven sheathed his sword at the prince he had just intimidated into calling off his forces.
"And what shall we do now? Sing a few lively ballads?" Clovis suggested sarcastically. "Or perhaps a nice game of chess."
"That has a familiar ring." Lelouch said as he removed his helmet, but still stood in the shadows so that his face was obscured to his half-brother. "Don't you recall? The two of us used to play chess together as boys. Of course, I would always win." Lelouch said as Ven quietly eased back to the nearest computer terminal.
"What?" Clovis asked shocked by such words.
"Don't you remember? At the Aries Villa?" Lelouch asked as Clovis clearly knew that place but not the entire memory since he didn't know who he was talking to.
"You... Who are you!?" Clovis demanded glaring at the foe who dare speak to him with such familiarity.
"It's been a long time, big brother." Lelouch said as he stepped out of the shadows, revealing his face to the prince. As he got a good view of Lelouch, Clovis looked like he had seen a ghost. Of course, that was the case for him as he saw now before him, his long-thought dead younger brother. "The eldest son of the late consort Marianne, and seventeenth in line to the Imperial throne. Lelouch vi Britannia, at your service." Lelouch introduced surprising Ven when he heard this while Lelouch kneeled to his elder brother.
"Lelouch!? But I thought-" Clovis asked shocked to see Lelouch all but rise from the Grave.
"That I was dead? You were wrong." Lelouch corrected as no doubt there was a story behind that. "I have returned, your highness." Lelouch said as he cut him off. "And I have come back to change everything." Lelouch announced and in turn Ven knew this mission just got a whole lot more complicated for them.
