The New War may have ended and the mystery of the Zariman has yet to be discovered but fools tampering with the Void and drawn the brave and honorable Tenno to topple yet another Empire. Fools seek to challenge God to a duel to the death and in response God answered the challenge and sent forth his devils to punish them. Now I ask what is a King to the eldritch power of the Void?

Code Tenno Uprising of the Void

ESKK: Well, let's start the new chapter people.

(Start Lamprouge Residence Nunnally)

"I've been looking for you Nemo." Ven spoke as he approached Nunally making sure CC stayed hidden behind her.

"W-what do you want?" Nunnally asked as she was nervous as Nemo saw Ven approach her.

"First and foremost, I want to thank you for your assistance the other day." Ven began as this surprised Nunally and Nemo especially when Ven kneeled to her.

"He's kneeling." Nemo spoke as Nunally saw this and then offered Ven her hand.

"You're welcome but... it wasn't me." Nunally said as she offered Ven her hand suspecting he was some sort of noble. Ven took it and in turn stood back up.

"Then I suppose it was the being with you?" Ven asked surprising Nemo as she then pointed to herself.

"Wait... you can see me?" Nemo asked shocked to hear this.

"Only with this power when active." Ven said as he deactivated his Geass, and Nemo vanished. Ven reactivated it and thus Nemo had returned to his vision and Nemo saw what this meant.

"He has it also." Nemo said turning to the side a bit but then regained herself. "I didn't help you because you asked, I aided because at the time our goals coincided at the time." Nemo defended as that was her excuse for the time, they joined forces. "I would have done worse if I had been allowed to do so." Nemo said as she had been restrained by Nunally's morality at the time.

Ven saw this and chuckled a bit looking between the two. "Well, I suppose you compliment, each other then." Ven said surprising both Nemo and Nunally. "Battle requires a balance of compassion and rage stand victorious." Ven said as he knew Tenshin would have said something along those lines back when he was still alive. "Nunnally with your compassion would allow Nemo to spare those, worth sparing and Nemo your fury could show that kindness does not equate naivete." Ven said as he looked between the two beings. "It just takes a bit of balancing between the two." Ven said as he looked between the two as Nemo scoffed and Nunally smiled.

"Now for the second reason of mine being here." Ven began but then stopped as he heard movement within the house. "Damn." Ven cursed as he realized that they were now short on time. "Sorry Nunnally I will take my leave for now." Ven said as he then did a small bow to her. "We will meet again soon." Ven said and thus he vanished from the room and began to make his escape leaving CC behind with Nunnally outside the room.

(Scene Break Pendragon)

The Halls of Pendragon were often alive with a colorful cast of characters – royal family members jockeying for power, courtiers looking to advance themselves, bureaucrats receiving orders from their lieges, and so forth. Now, though, the halls were empty save for the various princes and princesses of Britannia.

Zero's entrance had left the royal family in disarray, though virtually all of them were united in anger at his actions. How dare this terrorist murder their own flesh and blood. The Halls of Pendragon were often alive with a colorful cast of characters. The royal family members were all jockeying for power, courtiers looking to advance themselves, bureaucrats receiving orders from their lieges, and so forth. Now, though, the halls were empty save for the various princes and princesses of Britannia. Princess Laila and her mother were not among the group, though, as they had instead left for Area Eleven to retrieve the remains of the dearly departed third prince, who was, respectively, their brother and son.

Cornelia and Euphemia were also missing, as the Second Princess was wrapping up the conquest of the Middle Eastern Federation, while the emperor himself had other mattes to attend to. Thus, it fell upon First Prince Odysseus and Second Prince Schneizel to oversee and manage their siblings and needless to say, that this was not an easy task for the pair to accomplish right now.

"THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!" First Princess Guinevere screamed as she was furious. "How dare that upstart Zero murder Clovis! He should be brought before Pendragon in chains and executed for all to see!" Guinevere roared wishing to see Zero's mask on a pike.

"As should all who aided him." Princess Carine snapped no doubt wanting to see Zero as dead as her siblings. "All who oppose Britannia should be made to know the price of their foolishness." She boasted no doubt seeing Zero as a threat of some sort.

"Wait, aren't we being a little rash?" questioned a blonde teen, Hannes gua Britannia, the thirty-sixth prince, and among the timidest of his half-siblings. "W-we need to address this slight, yes, but if we act too rashly, then we could push the numbers right into Zero's arms." He said as he'd rather be cautious about this instead of charging in without a plan.

"Is that caution or cowardice?" One of them asked and thus it began an argument between the royals.

As the siblings devolved into bickering, Schneizel sighed to this as his family could hardly get along on the best of days. "So, Odysseus, what do you think should be done regarding Zero." Schneizel asked as he was being the voice of reason here.

The prince in question sighed before he began to give his opinion. "Well, we need to address him, but Hannes raises a good point. And I think I know what father will ultimately do." Odysseus said as he had faith in his father's vision.

"And that is?" Schneizel asked as he looked to his brother.

"Cornelia is almost finished creating Area 18, correct?" Odysseus asked and thus the pieces began to connect.

"Indeed, she is." Genevieve said as a smirk formed on her face.

"Well, perhaps it would be best to send her to Area 11. If she and Euphie work together, they could not only defeat Zero, but also convince the Elevens to peacefully return to work. Doing so may also make the other areas less likely to rebel." Odysseus said and thus the plan began to form.

Schneizel smirked as it seemed his brother had a good idea, for once. "Excellent suggestion, brother." Schneizel praised his brother as despite his short comings even he has a good idea every once in a while.

"Thank you for the vote of confidence." He said and thus they all know who would be sent forth to bring Area 11 to heel.

(Meanwhile Area 18)

Watching as the last remnants of the Middle Eastern Federation were escorted into custody, Cornelia smiled Area 18 had been established, and in doing so, Cornelia's claim to the throne had been strengthened. She would not be able to consolidate her gains, though – a new task laid before her. Some upstart known as Zero had murdered her brother, and massively damaged the credibility of the Area 11 Administration. Cornelia herself was…conflicted about what she had heard, with Euphemia being utterly distraught, but Clovis was still their brother, and his honor must be avenged. Still, it was strange while his entire staff and guard suffered brutal deaths it was Clovis who was given a quick and painless one almost like he had committed suicide.

"My lady, the search team has returned. They were unable to find Shade Squad after the sandstorm abated." Guilford Cornelia's knight said as he stood before the Princess herself. "It appears the entire squad was lost." Guilford reported with a sad tone showing that a lot of good soldiers were lost somehow.

"Thank you for the information, Guilford, send the information to Darlton they were under his command, and he would prefer to be the one to write the death notifications for their families." Cornellia said as it fell to him to do the deed.

"Of course, my lady." Guilford said with a boy knowing that Darlton would not like what he was about to hear. After all Shade Squad had some young nobles who had their whole lives ahead of them. War truly has now mercy to anyone in her cold bloody embrace.

As Guildford left to break the bad news to Darlton, Cornelia's mind pondered over the oddity of the sandstorm. There had been no notification that the storm would arrive, from either side both her forces and the MEF's had expected it to be a sunny day. Yet when the last remnants of the Federation's forces had retreated into the desert, the storm had arrived and swallowed up both the cowards and the forces she had sent in pursuit. Guilford's recon team had reported that the retreating forces had survived, but hers were nowhere to be found. How had that storm arrived, anyway?

(Meanwhile with the Tenno)

Sitting atop an inactive Batomys, Madea was meditating through Inaros Prime as she watched as the last of the Coalition's forces gathered into their vehicles and prepared to continue their exodus. Everything went exactly how the Lotus had predicted using Inaros to cause that Sandstorm was a stroke of genius. The Tenno needed to stay hidden and with what they currently had this would quickly become a war of attrition that would case many innocent lives. Cornelia had led the charge on the fortress, taking it with ease. However, her forces had not completed their encirclement plan, allowing for some of the Federation's forces to slip free without being ambushed. Acting according to plan, the Tenno had used the powers of Inaros to trap both the fleeing soldiers and their pursuers in a sandstorm. The remnants of the MEF had been allowed to escape, but the Britannians were devoured by the desert.

At the time she felt pity for the Britannians as unlike the Grineer or Corpus, they probably weren't all that bad when not fighting, but they had chosen to support an imperialist regime that considered discrimination against others to be standard policy. As the Stalker often said, your actions had consequences.

As the last of her charges began to make their way east, away from Cornelia's forces, Madea sighed. She'd only been in this world a month, but already, she was sick of the injustices she saw. "Madea." Came a new voice opting Madea to look and see a Mesa Prime standing over her. "It's time to move out." The Tenno said as he then jumped down to stand with Madea. "Amaros and Zeeka should be back from patrol soon." The Tenno said and thus Madea nodded to her leader.

"Right." She said with a nod and thus they began to head out.

(Scene Break Lotus Chamber)

"Now if you would, Ven please share with us what your reconnaissance had discovered." Lotus began as she gestured too Ven.

"Of course." Ven said with a nod and thus began to share with the group what he had discovered. "While I was in Area 11, I had successfully made contact with the being known as CC and Nemo." Ven reported as he stood before the Lotus. "But when I made contact with CC it became clear that something had occurred prior that frightened her, I believe it may have been the Man in the Wall." Ven said as he detailed each bit of his report. "From there I managed to locate the masked figure responsible for Clovis's murder. He calls himself Zero." Ven said as he told the Lotus what he found.

"I see." Lotus said as she looked to the side. "And you claim that Nemo is in fact a middle school student in Ashford Academy." Lotus said as Ven nodded to the surrogate mother of the Tenno.

"Yes, I had Ordis run information I gathered during the Shinjuku battle to narrow down who she was, she was a cripple, and she had a brother." Ven began as he showed the names and faces of those whom, fit the criteria. "He narrowed down the list based around where the Tracking Chip was last sighted and worked from there using the fact on how far someone who is wheelchair bound could travel and thus this girl was found." Ven said showing the image of Nunally on the screen.

"So, this pilot is in fact a middle school child no one would ever suspect." Lotus said as she thought it over seeing how this could pose a threat. "But she also has the same ability that this CC had given you, correct?" Lotus asked and thus Ven nodded to this.

"Yes." Ven said and thus the Lotus thought it over and sighed.

"This information might prove to be of value for us." The Lotus said as Ven heard this and grew concerned in response. "If executed correctly we might be able to use this." Lotus said and thus she stood up a bit. "Ashford Academy I may need to start pulling some strings." Lotus said and in turn Ven had a feeling this was going to turn out crazy for him somehow.

"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Ven asked as he felt a small scratch at the back of his head for something that was to come his way.

(Scene Break Ashford Academy a few days later)

Nunnally was taken to the door of Ashford Academies Middle School section. Lelouch was not the only one who had to go to school but while Lelouch was in the high school section Nunnally had to go to the middle school. The academies Headmaster had provided them with a home after they came to him when the war ended. Ever since the War ended and Japan became occupied by Britannia the lost royals had been living in hiding for a long time. Currently the maid Sayoko Shinozaki had pushed Nunally to the door ready to see her off.

"Ms. Sayoko I can handle it form here." Nunnally said as she was ready to head out.

"Yes, ma'am. Have a safe trip milady." Sayoko said with a bow to Nunally and in turn Nunally began to make her way into the school.

"Have a safe trip milady, she says." Came a voice that was taunting what Sayoko said which caused Nunally to stop. "For a freeloader, eh?" the girl taunted as this got Nunally's attention.

"Miss Ekaterina, was it?" Nunally asked as she was acting like this girls' words did not affect her. "If you don't mind, I'll be taking me leave. I have class to attend." Nunally said as Nemo saw the whole thing and saw that Ekaterina had two other girls with her.

"Hey what's with that attitude!" Ekaterina demanded as she stopped Nunally. "I'm the eldest daughter of The Sforza Household! Don't get cocky just because the Headmaster of Ashford is taking you under his wing!" The girl harassing Nunally snapped while glaring at the blind cripple. "You're probably the descendant of some low-level nobility aren't you!?" She yelled as Nemo saw the whole thing.

With a small laugh Nemo had a counter Nunally could use. "Why don't you tell her that your father is the Emperor of the Holy Britannian Army?" Nemo offered as she smiled at Nunally hoping she would try it.

Of course, Nunally was not going to let Nemo have her way and thus went for the alternative. "I understand that you come from a Distinguished Household but that is of no concern to me." Nunally said and thus was ready to go. "Please excuse me." Nunally said and thus tried to leave.

"Hold it!" Ekaterina yelled and thus the act caused Nunally to fall out of her wheelchair.

"You Bitch!" Nemo yelled and thus her Geass Crest flashed to life. From behind the girls the Mark Nemo's arms began to form ready to crush those girls.

"Please stop!" Nunally cried out as she felt Nemo was about to strike.

But just then a blur passed by and causing Nemo to widen in shock at how fast it went. "So, your only redeeming quality is your household?" A new voice asked which got Nunally's attention. "What you're doing right now is just bullying!" The voice accused and in turn the new girls pulled up her hands to show that she had taken the schoolgirls skirts. "And what's what this? Such shameless girls you are." the girl said with a cheeky smile on her face.

The girls in turn panicked and began to run away while covering their panties from the world with their hands. "Y-You'll pay for this!" the girl yelled as she ran away.

"Yeah, yeah." The girl said and thus went to check on Nunally.

"Alice, your back. Thank you." Nunally said as clearly, she and Alice knew each other. "But what in the world did you do to them?" Nunally asked and thus Alice smiled to her friend.

"I just scared them off with a little trick of mine." Alice said and thus began to push Nunally's wheelchair. "Alright, let's head to class." Alice said after getting Nunally back in her wheelchair.

(Later in Class)

In front of an entire classroom filled with young Britannians who hailed from noble blood looked to the front of their class where they saw two new kids that came to their school. The first one of the pair was Eureka and the 2nd was Ven as both were currently without their Warframes. Meanwhile the teacher then said to the entire class with a stern voice, "Please give a warm welcome to our two new transfer students who will be joining us this year."

"I'm Eureka Silvana, a pleasure to meet you all and hope we can be on good terms with one another," Eureka said as she introduced herself with Ven soon did the same as he said, "Ventus Silvana, but I prefer Ven, a pleasure to meet you all."

The two Tenno had finish introducing themselves as Ven eyes drifted over to Nunnally reading a braille book as she was using her hand to read it. But Ven didn't look directly at her as he was trying to look presentable in front of the entire class. Currently the Tenno had special gel over their scarring from Void damage to make themselves seem as normal as possible here.

It wasn't easy for them to get in but Lotus had help them with everything with the help of Natah, who has had managed to twist a few arms to forge some documents and blackmail those with access to center databanks to put in a few updates and label her and the selected Tenno as a noble family to a less known family of Britannians, and Margulis contacted some allies to pull some strings and recommendations by them while Lotus herself had to modified the forge documents to look as official as possible to get Ven and Eureka enrolled into Ashford.

After that it was just a matter of meeting with the headmaster of Ashford to let them join the school, while also make a "fair donation" to the school itself for said children education, and what not which the headmaster accepted and in roll the two in.

With all the teens in the classroom look in awe at the two, thinking they were still young but pretty cute, or beautiful, no doubt given their unique looks, and started to ask them question which was overwhelming as the teacher calms down the classroom as he tapped a ruler and said, "Alright calm down everyone, calm down. You can ask them question in between classes or on break. Now for you two please find a seat anywhere you like."

They nodded as they went out to find an open spot with Ven saw an empty seat next to Nunnally as he soon asked her, "Excuse me, may I sit here?"

Nunnally look up from her book, even though she was blind, she suddenly took notice of his presence, feeling something quite familiar about him as she didn't know from where she smiled and said, "Sure I don't mind."

"Thank you, I'm Ventus, but please call me Ven," Ven said as Nunnally give a nod and raise her hand as she said to him, "I'm Nunnally, it's nice to meet you."

Ven took her hand and in a way she was surprise by the touch of his hand as it reminded her of Umbra, with Nemo noticing this as well as she look towards Ven while he had his head turn away just enough that no one saw his eye with his Geass showing, with Nemo having no the idea of who he is before he deactivate it and let go her hand, and sat down next to her before pulling out a note book and pencil with the class soon started and the Tenno took notes while keeping an ear out to everyone

While taking notes as Nemo eyed Ven, she soon takes notice of what he was writing in his notebook as she saw at the top of the page as it reads, "Let's talk at lunch time- Umbra"

This did surprise her as Nemo didn't realize it was Umbra as she lean down to Nunnally and whisper something too her as she nodded and keep on reading her book.

(Later)

Soon enough as lunch time came around, with Nunnally was usually the one moving around herself in her chair, it was Ven pushing her around as it seem when the bell rang, it was Nunnally that ask Ven to walk with her, and he was kind enough to push her wheel chair for her as she said to him, "You didn't have to do this you know."

"Maybe, but it the least I can do for asking you to talk with me during lunch," Ven said as Eureka who was next to them as she said, "So this girl is the one called Nemo then?"

"She is but at the same time, she's not, she is… her host I suppose, right?" Nunnally nodded to this with Nemo walking with them as Nemo soon ask, "What do you want anyways?"

With Ven somehow hearing her, with his Geass activated no doubt to communicate with her as he said, "I think we need to find a private area first before we talk about anything."

"I know where we can go," Nunnally said as she soon directed them to the school council club house, unaware there were some people already there as they enter they soon come across 6 people already there 2 boys and 4 girls which Ven recognized one of the boys being Lelouch as to his surprise as he saw the 2 pre-teens with his sister as he said to her in a greeting tone, "Hey Nunnally, I'm surprise to see you-

"Hey, are you the two new student I heard about?" The blonde girl suddenly cut Lelouch off as she asked them, as they nodded to her with Eureka said, "Yes we are, I'm Eureka and this is my brother Ventus."

"Just call me Ven," Ven said as Milly smile as she saw Ven was the one pushing Nunnally around as she said, "It's nice to meet you I'm Milly Ashford, and this is my very good friend here. Nina Einstein."

"I-it's nice to meet you," Nina said in a shy manner with Milly moving onto the next person as she point out Shirley and said, "Shirley Fenette, a member of the swim team."

"It's nice to meet you," Shirley said as she gave a friendly wave, next to point out to the blue hair guy as she said, "Rivalz Cardemonde, our researcher and party planner."

"Yo," Rivalz said to the two Tenno with Milly soon move on to Kallen as she introduce her, "One of the newest members to join our club, Kallen Stadtfeld."

"Ah hello," Kallen said in an awkward way as she had no idea how to talk to people younger than her with Milly moves onto Lelouch she said, "And our longest member here the big brother to little sister Nunnally Lelouch Lamperouge."

"A pleasure," Lelouch said while being polite as he can while also annoyed with Milly cut him off from before as he soon said, "So why are you here with guest Nunnally."

"Just some new friends I was showing around, and I thought we can have lunch here in my room, if you don't mind big brother," Nunnally said with a caring smile that Lelouch could not say no too as he said, "That fine I suppose, should I have Sayoko bring you three lunches?"

"It's fine, our mother seemed to have packed extra food for us, so we don't mind sharing," Eureka said as she shows the large basket of food as Milly said, "That's a lot of food."

"Yeah, our mother want us to have a fulfilling meal, which is always a bit much," Ven said making it sound like their "Mother" does it a lot which they bought which make everyone drop the subject of getting lunch to them right away as Nunnally said, "You don't mind if we eat in private do you?"

"Not at all, should I get Sayoko to lead you 3 to your room?" Lelouch asked with Nunnally said, "It's fine. I can show them myself." After that Ven soon push Nunnally as he said to her, "I am pushing too hard, am I?"

"Your fine, just keep going until you reach the halls, my room should be down the right hall being the last door," Nunnally said as Ven nodded and lead her to her room with Milly smiling at this as she thought something was going on between Ven and Nunnally as she was hear how the blinded girl was talking with the boy with Lelouch was about to follow them until Milly came up and stop him as she ask him, "And where do you think you're going?"

"Ah I was about too…" Lelouch was about to say something about keeping an eye on Nunally, but Milly pulls him away and said, "Nope, you sister wants privacy, and you should always respect a lady request."

Before Lelouch could say anything, he was drag away as he was struggling with the girl with all his attempt to get her to let him go, he was very weak of doing so.

(Nunnally's room)

"How did you find me?" Nunally asked as she made the first question of the group while they had several snacks in the room.

"Honestly it wasn't that hard." Ven said as he then listed off the method Ordis used. "Nemo should not have mentioned what she did while we were in Shinjuku if she hadn't, I would never have figured out who you were." Ven said and thus Nemo went wide eyed to this. "First off I had latched a tracking device onto your Knightmare and thus when it vanished, I started from its last known location from the device." Ven began as Nunally listened. "After that I moved on from there used the fact you were wheelchair bound to determine how far you would need to travel on your own and Ashford Academy was on the list of possible locations. After I narrowed it down further to known residence who were in fact wheelchaired bound and had a brother and by the end of it you were the only one on the list Nunally." Ven said and in turn Nemo realized she basically flapped her lip while she was jumping around in joy for her new body.

"Crap." Nemo cursed realizing she should have kept her mouth shut then.

"It's alright no one else knows your here other than my team and the Lotus." Ven said making it clear the other Tenno were not aware of Nemo's location.

"Why did you come here?" Nunally asked as she did not want any trouble from Shinjuku.

"Honestly we'd like your help." Eureka said as she sat on a chair in the room. "We aren't originally from this world, and we are not here by choice either." Eureka said as she did her best to omit what she can on their actual reason for being here.

"Your aliens?" Nunally asked as she recalled the Warframes and how they fought as well as some of the weapons they had used in Shinjuku.

"In a sense of the word." Ven said as he wasn't exactly sure if this was his times past or not. "The reason we're here is someone or a group of someone's have been tampering with something they should not be tampering with, and the result would end in this world and our world being consumed by a dimension called the Void." Ven said making it clear that the Birtannian's were tampering with powers not meant for their use.

"We're not sure if its Britannia or a small group within the Empire but the short of it is that we need to bring them down before they bring all of existence tumbling into the Void." Ven said and thus Nunally was confused by this.

"And how does this involve me." Nunally asked as Ven looked to the secret royal.

"The short story or the long story?" Ven asked though it was clear he was being rhetorical. "We think that you might be connected because of Nemo." Ven said and thus he looked to the girl. "Right now, our only plan was to cause Britannia a heap of trouble to try and draw out this group scare them into coming for us." Ven said and thus Nunally saw where she came in or in this case where Nemo came in.

"I might know a few things about them." Nemo said as she looked to the side as she didn't want to think on it. "But not much they made me by using cells from a Witch so for all I know my help in finding them might be for nothing or if it's even the correct group to begin with." Nemo went on and thus Ven knew it was a good a lead as any and they would have to roll with it.

"So, in other words we have to make do." Ven said as Eureka figured Nemo might not know much. "We would appreciate your aid, but I fear our methods may not be something you would agree with." Ven said as he knew Nunally was a pacifist and Nemo was the violent one.

"I'll try to do what I can." Nunally said as she wanted to help because if they were to be believed then this situation affected all of existence as they knew it. "And I'm sure Nemo will also provide aid as well." Nunally said knowing Nemo was the sword and Nunally was the shield in this case.

"I see." Ven said as he saw what Nunally was saying. "Thank you." Ven said grateful that Nunally would provide aid to them.

"By the way where is that black form of yours?" Nemo asked as Ven looked to Nemo.

"Oh, you mean Umbra. He's roaming." Ven answered as he liked to let Umbra out to stretch his legs every now and again.

(With Umbra)

Umbra was currently on the roof of the school laying on his side with a magazine he swiped at some point. Laying down next to him was a cat with an injured tail who meowed as Umbra pet the small feline before turning the page of his book.

(Later that evening)

Nunnally was being push around on her wheelchair by Sayoko the maid, with Nunnally was thinking of what Ven had said, someone messing with powers they did not understand that could cause both her world and the Tenno's world to be pull into the void realm.

She didn't understand much about this void other than what Ven try to explain to her with only 3 words being, 'It was Hell', she wasn't much one to seek out battle, and only to find her brother that one time, but given the situation it seem her power was needed more than ever, and if she ever wanted to know more or at least train with her Nemo Knightmare, the Tenno had offer her to train with them, it's just a matter of setting something for them so Lelouch doesn't get suspicious of them, but that's for another time.

She was led into a room where Lelouch was at as he heard the doors open and with Nunnally Greeted her brother as she said, "Hi Lelouch, I return home."

"Hi there, welcome back, miss Sayoko," Lelouch said as he greeted his little sister and maid as he gotten up from his seat and said, "I have a present for you today."

"Really, what could it be?" Nunnally ask curiously as Lelouch put a finger to his lips to signal to the maid to keep silent of what the present is as Lelouch wave in a familiar Japanese boy who just came to school today, as Suzaku walked in, to the maid confusion of who the boy was.

Suzaku look as Nunnally as he smiled to her before he came over to her and kneel down, grabbing her hand and put his other in her open hand. In turn she gasped to this feeling she felt as she held onto Suzaku's hand wither her other and said, "This hand… Thank heaven, I knew it."

She soon started to cry as she put Suzaku's hand to her face as she held it close and said, "I knew, I knew would have been alright."

"It's been a long time, Nunnally," Suzaku said to her as soon enough after that they were all having teat as Nunnally ask, "So tell me, you are staying the night, are you?"

"Suzaku is enroll as a student at Ashford academy now, so you can see him anytime you want to," Lelouch said to her as she smiled and look over to Suzaku as she asked, "Is that true?"

"Well, I still have military duties, so I can't be here every day," Suzaku said to her as Nunnally seem sadden by that fact as she said, "So... your still in the military?"

"Don't worry, I've been reassigned to the engineer core. It's a lot less dangerous," Suzaku said to the girl, trying not to worry her too much. Seeing this Lelouch said as he started to get up with a pot of tea in his hand, "Cool, engineering, hu?"

"Ah let me get that," Suzaku said as he tried to grab it until Lelouch stopped his friend and then told him, "Why don't you sit down. Unlike 7 years ago, we'll be your hosts now."

This surprised Suzaku, no doubt he has been serving Lelouch and Nunnally before, but now it different as Lelouch said, "IT funny, you're a lot more mellow as you used to be."

"And you're a bit rougher," Suzaku said jokingly as he sat back down with Lelouch laugh a bit as he said, "I suppose."

Lelouch soon headed off into the kitchen area as he soon noticed an uninvited guess there as he said, "I told you to stay in my room."

"That boy out there, he's that Britannian soldier from Shinjuku isn't he, is that wise?" CC ask Lelouch in a quite tone as he said to her, "Don't worry, it's fine he's..."

Lelouch trail with his words as he set the tea pot down with CC wondering what Lelouch is going to say as he said, "He's a friend from the past."

(Scene break)

Lelouch and Suzaku were seeing each other off as it was late in the evening. "You should come by again, Nunally would enjoy it." Lelouch said as he was happy to see his friend after so long.

"Sure but..." Suzaku trailed off as he looked to the side. "Lelouch I... I don't think we should be seen together in school." Suzaku said as for him this was a no brainer move.

Lelouch was surprised by this and immediately wanted answers. "What do you mean?" Lelouch asked no doubt upset about this decision from Suzaku.

"Think how would you explain it, being friends with an Honorary Britannian we have to guard your secret no one can know your royalty." Suzaku said as he knew that even through the world believed Lelouch is dead there was always the chance someone would find out. "And the same goes for Nunally I don't want to cause you any trouble." Suzaku began but was then cut off by Lelouch.

"Doing it again huh everyone's needs but your own!" Lelouch snapped as he glared directly at Suzaku for this mindset.

"Again?" Suzaku asked as he was confused on that.

Lelouch realizing what he said let it go as he turned to the side. "Forget it." Lelouch said upset to lose a friend.

"Uh..." Suzaku said in an awkward way. "Thanks for having me it was a lot of fun." Suzaku said and in turn began to take his leave. "Well, uh see you later." Suzaku said before he began to take his leave.

"Right." Lelouch said with a sad tone.

But just then Suzaku took a stop. "I'm so glad you know." Suzaku said as this got Lelouch's attention. "I never thought we'd get another chance to talk like this." Suzaku said as he left the room to head back to his own living quarters.

(Meanwhile with CC)

CC stood at the window glaring down at the scene below. She knew that this could turn bad if mishandled in any way, but needs must be met. "Did you tell them anything?" CC suddenly asked as in the same hall was Nemo who leaned on the wall glaring at CC.

"Even if I did, I don't have much to tell especially when I spent so long in a damn test tube." Nemo growled glaring at CC with nothing but pure hatred for her.

"I see." CC said and thus Nemo huffed in response. "Be, warry of those children." CC said as she then began to walk away. "They are not the average sort you or I have dealt with." CC said as she walked away. "I would suggest severing contact with them if you value your sanity." CC said and thus Nemo scoffed and glared at CC.

"Why should you care who I do or don't hang around with!" Nemo snapped as she glared at CC with contempt.

"Some of my cells were used to make you so that effectively makes me your mother does it not?" CC said more then asked as she looked to Nemo who growled and then stormed off to wherever Nunally was currently at to put distance between herself and CC.

But before she left Nemo had one more jab to give CC. "Your cells may have created me but that doesn't mean I owe you anything." Nemo said and thus took her leave of CC who watched her clone walk away. This made CC curious as she assumed it would be beneficial to try warning Nemo of the Tenno and that Eldritch being she had crossed paths with. But it would seem that Nemo was having none of it and thus decided too simply to go her own way of things. Still Nemo truly has no idea what she was getting into by siding with the Tenno.

(Scene Break Lotus)

The Lotus oversaw the Knightmare Frames modifications as their cockpits and varying parts of their armors and parts were being retrofitted with the technology the Tenno had most commonly used. As she saw them, she noted how they each were using Noir as a bases for the others. But due to how much more advanced Noir was from a Sutherland it was clear that the others could not handle such upgrades. But still she was able to upgrades the Sutherland's through other means via Transference Technology. Using the same principle as that of Necramechs Lotus was able to get the Knightmares to operate on Transference. In turn this would allow the Tenno to better utilize the Knightmares and possibly face the Lancelot toe-to-toe.

Archweapons on the other hand were a tricky subject since they were still relatively smaller than the Knightmares and thus they could not use it. Thankfully she knew how to improvise and thus was able to construct Knightmare weapons designed for Noir alone. Data suggested that there were plans to make weapons specifically for the Lancelot and thus Lotus worked from that particular bit of data. She had already constructed a pair of twin swords modeled after Tenshin Dax own swords for Noir to use. A rifle weapon was still in the works and the primary reason for the melee weapons being completed was because of an incident involving Jeramiah in the Shinjuku Ghetto. Thank goodness Tenno were in the area to get a scan of the swords but it also presented a tidbit of information for the Lotus to use.

The Brittannians has a case of infighting amongst themselves no doubt curtesy of the ideology of Charles Zi Britannia. The Tenno could use this to their advantage with covert operations to breed more of it. Planting the seeds of distrust and doubt amongst their ranks it would make them easier to deal with in the field. The Lotus already devices several strategies to target the Britannians and once the Tenno go public with proof of their exploits many conquered lands will be seeking their aid to take back what was lost to them. Still, something didn't add up why was Britannia going out of its way to conquer the world. Officially they occupied Japan due to a dispute of resources and ever since have made propaganda degrading and outright destroying Japanese culture while glorifying Britannia.

Lotus knew there was more at work but without more data to work on especially the identity of their primary target they were running around grasping at straws. Furthermore, it was only a matter of time before Britannians catch wind of where their base was currently located so the Lotus had to be ready should an invasion come to their doorsteps. Still the question for the Tenno remained who got the Man in the Wall spooked and what sort of Void Device were they tampering with to cause the Man in the Wall to cash in on a favor from the Tenno.

On a strategic standpoint the Tenno she sent to the newly Christened Area 18 have reported a success of their evacuation efforts. This also included the acquisition of several tools and equipment for them as well as allies to aid in retaking the area at a later date. Princess Cornellia according to data was a formidable opponent and an excellent strategist. But her strategies had a certain method to them in which the Lotus was able to identify. She was already in Japan and already she had stifled the Blood of the Samurai faction and would no doubt come to target Zero and the Tenno soon. Though she did not know about the Tenno the Lotus did know that she was aware of the 'Monsters of Shinjuku,' enough to look into these tales and rumors. Her next strategy will no doubt be used to draw out Zero and hopefully if her Tenno were successful not only will Cornellia not receive Zero, but she will instead be faces with the Tenno and Nemo.

The first part would involve keeping Zero out of the fight and though Ven though the Lotus wasn't aware she knew that he knew who Zero was. Thus, she had his orders on what to do with him to keep him out of this fight after all Zero will no doubt use suicide to his advantage to bluff them into standing down but thankfully Zero never suspected that a Tranquilizer would work just as well if not better then shooting him down.

(Scene Break Ashford Academy Nunally)

Nunally rolled into the room as she heard typing going fast on a keyboard. Once more she was entertaining Ven, and Eureka as Nemo glared at Nina for some odd reason. "Nina." Nunnally greeted as this got Nina's attention on the blind girl with a small gasp.

"I'm sorry am I too loud?" Nina asked as she looked to Nunally.

"Not at all why are you here what about class?" Nunally asked as Ven, and Eureka's gaze went over to what Nina was working on. "Is something wrong?" Nunally asked as she was worried for the girl.

"Well, it's... I don't know a little scary." Nina said as Ven heard this and tilted his head.

"Scary?" Ven asked as he got to the other side of Nina and carefully plugged a flash drive into it while Nina wasn't looking allowing Ordis to go through it.

"We had a transfer student in our class now. It's that boy who was accused of murdering Prince Clovis. He's an Eleven." Nina said and thus Ven slammed his hand on the table shocking the group.

"Sorry I just... sort of lost it there." Ven said as he then began to take his leave while also taking the flash drive leaving Nina unaware of what Ven had stolen.

"No kidding." Nemo said as she glared at Nina while Nunally looked concerned over this event. "Word of advice roll away from her." Nemo urged knowing how Nina's sort tend to operate.

(Later)

Ven and Eureka were preparing to take their leave when Ven was contacting Ordis. "Ordis did you get all of that?" Ven asked as Ordis heard this.

"Yes, Operator and from what I learned it would seem this girl is dealing with something volatile and dangerous." Ordis said as Ven heard this and knew it had to be serious somehow.

"How bad?" Ven asked as he kept walking ahead with Eureka.

"Severely so, Operator and while it is relatively harmless in its current stage, I fear that if that girl is allowed to continue, she might happen upon a happy accident for it." Ordis said as he knew that if this girl kept up her work, she would crack it and put thousands in danger.

"Send the data to the Lotus I'll keep my eyes on her." Ven said and thus cut the line.

"That girl rubs me the wrong way." Eureka said as she walked with Ven.

"I know, she's just one trigger away from a Japanese Killing Spree." Ven said as he knew that this girl might be a bit unhinged.

(Back with Nemo and Nunally)

After Nina was allowed back to her work the pair of Nunally and Nemo were sharing words in another room. "Why were you saying mean things about Nina?" Nunally asked as Nemo looked to Nunally.

"Simple she's just a trigger away from starting a Japanese killing spree." Nemo said making it clear she did not trust or like Nina. "Besides not like she can hear or see me so she can't get upset over it." Nemo said as she made it clear that she didn't care much on Nunally's thoughts on the subject. "I may have spent the first moments of my life in a glass case, but I see enough people to start reading them." Nemo said as she liked to think she's gotten good at reading people in her life.

"Maybe but she's not bad she's just." Nunally began and in turn Nemo cut her off on that.

"Racist to those like Suzaku." Nemo said and thus Nunally had no retort for those words.

"I know you want to see the good in a person, but there is always a hidden darkness if some people realize it or not," Nemo said that in a way towards Nunnally as she realize that how Nemo was created from the darkness in her own heart as Nemo went on saying, "Just wait, with people like glasses back there, if left alone in a room with an "11" no doubt she would find the nearest thing to use as a weapon and she will show her true colors, as people like her never change who they are inside no matter what."

Nunnally didn't know what to say to that or do, as she may not like it but can't help but fear it was true, she loved Suzaku dearly like a brother, but if people like Nina do hate the people like him and intends to hurt him… she didn't know what she could do to stop such thing with Nemo stood there before Nunnally feeling her fear as she knew if Nunnally cannot do what is necessary, then she will if she has too.

(Tenno)

Back at the ocean base with Lotus still preparing everything she can she had asked Ava to look over the data Ven had sent as she did, she could not help but be somewhat impressed and disturbed at the same time as she said, "Man oh man, I never thought there were people like this in this world."

"What's up?" Sayak said as he heard what Ava said while she kept looking over the data and said, "Oh nothing much other than a future weapon of mass destruction, in sort very dangerous."

"So, what make this so dangerous?" Sayak said as he wasn't into the science and prefer the art of combat as Ava said, "Well let's say if the Orokin had this then they could either destroy the Sentient and make Tenno obsolete or make it harder for Tenno to destroy the sentient if they adapted around, it which it a high chance."

In short, a weapon such Nina had somewhat created could be a deciding factor in a war that could also kill an entire world if left unchecked as Sayak said, "That sound bad."

"It is, thankfully we aren't at war with them here in this world but still, if this shy schoolgirl is managed to finish this, it will cause a lot of problems we cannot afford to have," Ava said with Sayak said, "So what are we going to do about it?"

"Best idea at the moment, send a Virus or a worm to wipe out her data, makes her start from scratch which may only delay her if she memorize the data, which I doubt she can fully remember it, but it would slow her down to either take her out, get her to change her mind, or we kidnap her and mess with her mind depending on the situation I suppose," Ava said as she soon put in a report to lotus of what she has discover and what actions they can take as she soon said, "Better send this now while I am at it…. and done, now let's get some lunch."

(Ven and Eureka)

As the two Tenno were walking down the halls of the school as Ven said, "Other than with what Nina is working on, I've been hearing rumors of that of that guy who made noir coming here with Lancelot Knightmare, so now we have to be extra careful from here on out." Ven soon give a bad sigh as he went on saying, "It seem no matter where we go there is always an issue or a problem that we come across."

"To our luck a bad situation always seemed to find us no matter where we can anyways," Eureka said as suddenly out of nowhere a cat wear Zero's helmet was running by as Ven eye twitch a bit as he said to her, "I hate it when your right."

A second later as Lelouch suddenly came from a different hallway as he turned into the hall the two Tenno were at. Lelouch saw that they were on their phones as they didn't seem to notice anything as he soon came up to them and ask, "Hey did any of you see a cat or something ran by?"

"Hu This school has a cat?" Ven said playing dumb as Eureka said, "Saw a small black thing ran by out of the corner of my eye but I didn't notice what it was."

"Did you see where it may have gone?" Lelouch said as he somewhat let out a relief sigh as Eureka just point down the hall while still looking at her phone as she said, "Down that way I think and- *Beep! Oh, I make a new high score."

"Really?" Ven said as he looked over at his sister Phone with Lelouch just ran pass them to catch up to that cat, after that Ven and Eureka put away their phones as Ven said, "That was a close call."

"Why did we have to do this?" Eureka asked as Ven said, "He has a power that could command anyone to do anything he wishes, no telling what he would do if he knew we saw what we just saw."

"So that was Zero then?" Eureka said casual as Ven nodded as he said, "And with what we just saw before, no doubt if anyone finds that cat with what it had, everyone here will know that he is zero and right now we can't let that happen."

"Great a mission, how excited," Eureka said in a sarcastic way as they were mean to be under cover in this school due to Nemo and Zero, but now they have to save Zero butt from being discover, and what makes matters worst the intercom suddenly rang out with Milly's voice speaking out saying, "This is Milly Ashford, your student council president. Cat hunt everybody."

"Oh great," Ven said as he can't believe this is happening right now as Milly went on saying, "There's a cat lose on campus and needs to be rounded up, put everything on hold people! Participate in clubs will get budget priority, and whoever catches our feline friend will get an extra special prize. A big O kiss from one of the members from our council."

She soon started to laugh after that, sounded like a evil master mind of sort, then there was a huge commotion going on outside as both Ven and Eureka look and saw the whole school going crazy which they cannot help but sweat drop to that with Milly went on saying, "And when you do catch that cat, bring whatever it carrying to me! To me- TO ME!"

She started laughing again until it ended with coughs as Ven and Eureka face palm to this as now it's going to get worst most likely, after that with Milly seem to have taken a break from speaking, suddenly Nunnally voice can be heard over the intercoms as she said, "I think it leg may be hurt because its footsteps sounded off to me and ah... oh I almost forgot it meow like this...(Deep breath sound) MEOW!"

The entire school went crazy after that as Ven said, "We need to catch that cat fast before anyone else does."

"What should we do about the thing the cat has if we find it?" Eureka said as Ven said, "We'll toss it in the trash or somewhere to hid it until we can give it back to Zero and give him a good kick in the ass too."

"Now that sound like fun," Eureka said as soon enough both Tenno were on a mission now, but they cannot do it alone as Ven suddenly raise his watch and hit a button on to call out to Umbra as he said, "Umbra we have a situation."

(Umbra)

Umbra got word of this and thus closed the Magazine he was reading. Despite everything it's hard for the former Dax to find time to himself. Regardless he heard enough and judging by what was going on he had a cat to catch. Almost reminds him of when his kids... and at that he stopped that train of thought. Umbra didn't need to be reminded of the family Ballas took from him they could rest easy now as that monster was finally gone. Getting up Umbra charged out into the field and jumped between trees to try locating the Cat in question.

Of course, Umbra had to be quiet about this as well as remain unseen but with the entire school in an uproar that might be a problem. Looking around for something Umbra saw something in the teachers' lounge. That something was a Fedora and a coat which Umbra began to spark an idea. Grabbing the articles of clothing Umbra put them on and thus began to walk through the school keeping his head low while holding a folder to make it look like he belonged here. Surprisingly enough the students more or less bought it no doubt focusing more on the cat then the teacher that didn't belong. As Umbra walked the Warframe made sure to keep its eyes out for the cat with Zero's helmet.

(Back with Ven and Eureka)

"Umbra is on the case." Ven said as he and Eureka went on with their search for the missing cat.

"That solves one problem for us but how can we excuse ourselves for being at the school." Eureka asked as she had to think on it. "We're middle schoolers officially and even through classes are cancelled for Clovis' funeral we need to have some sort of cover story." Eureka said as Ven lead his teammate through the school grounds.

"I have a few ideas we can use." Ven said as he and Eureka continued their search for the cat.

(Meanwhile with Kallen and Shirley)

The Cat ran under the chair as Kallen, and Shirley had the feline cornered. Kallen was currently missing her blazer as she had loaned it to Shirley who was dressed in only her swimsuit at the moment. "Ok we do this right, and our lips will be safe." Kallen said before turning to Shirley unaware that Umbra had entered the room with a bag of cat treats. "Shirley, you cover the rear." Kallen ordered and thus began moving to get the Cat while Umbra was silently moving aside to draw the cat his way.

"Oh, wait a second!" Shirley called out as she got Kallen's attention for a moment.

"What's the matter." Kallen asked with concern towards Shirley.

"Who would you want to get a kiss from?" Shirley asked as she looked to Kallen. "Is there anyone in particular?" She asked which confused Kallen. "It wouldn't be Lulu, would it?" Shirley asked as Kallen went wide eyed to this.

"Just what would make you think that?" Kallen asked shocked that Shirley would ask her such a question.

All the while as Shirley tried to find a way to answer the question Umbra shook the bag and in turn the Cat came chasing after the sound. Thus, Umbra began to lead the cat away so it can get the helmet without any surprises on the way. The best way to catch a feline is not to chase it but let it come to you.

(Later with Ven and Eureka)

The pair of Tenno were looking around the school for the cat as the pair made sure to keep their eyes peeled for it. "Up there!" Eureka called out as she saw the Cat running across the roof with Umbra not too far away from it.

"And that's not all." Ven said as he then pointed towards an area nearby and in turn Eureka saw that Suzaku was also chasing after the Cat.

"In the words of Ava... for the love of Void." Eureka said as while she kept her head on straight, she also felt annoyance from this crazy day.

(Meanwhile with Suzaku)

Suzaku arrived at the scene and in turn saw the Cat running across the roof. "Hey that's." Suzaku began before he began to give chase to the feline.

As Suzaku ran into the room where he saw the cat, he was soon met with Lelouch who was surprised by this. "Suzaku!" Lelouch yelped shock to see Suzaku here as he knew how bad this could be if he sees the cat while it still has his mask. Suzaku was still a member of the Britannian Military and still believed that it could be changed from inside the system. He still failed to realize the system was corrupt and would never let Suzaku reach his goal in this or any lifetime.

"Lelouch, you're looking for the cat too?" Suzaku asked shocked to find his friend here of all places. Just then the pair heard the cat meowing from up atop the tower as this got Suzaku to spring into action.

"Suzaku, wait!" Lelouch called out as he follows after his friend while trying to prevent him from reaching the cat as they both ran up a flight of stairs as Lelouch said to him, "Don't go up there!"

"But the student council president said to catch it!" Suzaku said with that being his only excuse of trying to get the cat as Lelouch said to him, "Don't worry about it, I'll get the cat!"

"I was always more agile than you, remember that little bird got lose?" Suzaku said as he brought up a past memory as Lelouch said to him, "Quit talking ancient history."

"I was only 7 years ago!" Suzaku argued on that as he ran up the stairs very fast without losing much breath with Lelouch coming up behind him slow and getting tired really quick to show he has a lack of stamina as he complained about his friend, "Oh for Pete's sake... he was always an exercise nut."

(Outside)

Everyone was waiting outside the bell tower area as Rivelz and Milly pulled on in a motorcycle as Milly said, "So someone has him cornered hu? Who's the lucky winner?"

"Up there!" Shirley said as she pointed to the very top of the tower as Suzaku is seen trying to reach the cat who was at the bell unaware of someone has already caught the cat and retrieving the item is held.

Meanwhile down below Ven and Eureka were both watching things from a different area to get an angle on the situation while preparing for the next part as Suzaku said, "Come one little guy no need to be scared."

"Suzaku come back!" Lelouch said as he came out through the same window Suzaku used to get out as well and while trying to bring his friend back in as he said, "It's alright, leave this to me."

Lelouch was annoyed big time as he knew his best friend never went with a crowd such as the one that was form by Milly, as he tries to follow behind his friend, only for his foot to slip and fall down as he cry out, with Suzaku take notice of this and quickly called out as he slid down to get him, "Lelouch!"

Suzaku quickly grabbed the window frame and Lelouch's arm before he could fall off the roof and ask him, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah!" Lelouch said as he looked towards the cat with everyone was distracted watching them, and to Lelouch surprise to see a familiar shadow figure grabbing his helmet off the cat and petting it a bit with the cat give a soft meow behind it head rang the bell, and the shadow figure soon vanish without a race as Lelouch thought, 'He's here as well?!'

(Down below)

Ven and Eureka was waiting for Umbra to come down as he landed silent before them with the helmet in his hand as Ven said, "All this trouble for a helmet."

"So, what do we do now?" Eureka asked with Ven look to her and said, "We'll hand it over to CC, and hopefully zero can keep his stuff from being taken by. which by the way Umbra, where did you get that outfit?"

Umbra just points to the school as Ven just shrugged and said, "Well I guess that outfit works, better get going now while we still have the chance before we are discovered."

At that point Ven transference into Umbra as the two became one as Ven said from his Warframe, "Be ready to meet with Nunnally, I'll come join you when I can."

"Got it," Eureka said as Ven takes off towards the council club house where CC is at no doubt as Eureka went off to meet with Nunnally and act like nothing happen.

(With the student)

A little later as Suzaku came out from the tower with the cat in his arms as he said, "I think it's the same cat from the other day."

the Cat hiss at him angrily for some reason as Suzaku was greeted by the surprise looks of all the students around as Suzaku notice this but didn't say a word, with Shirley looking around seeing no one help had capture the cat, she was safe as she ran up to Suzaku and said, "You saved him thank you so much Suzaku!"

"Yeah, way a go there, new guy! Rivalz said as he came up next to the Japanese boy, with Milly walking up as she said, "That cat was carrying something wasn't it?"

"Yeah, there was something on its head, but I never really got a good look at it, I guess it slip off while I wasn't looking," Suzaku said as Shirley ask him, "So where is Lulu?"

"He said he forgot something, he told me to go ahead..."Suzaku said as he trailed off a bit until Milly sudden shouted out, "That's it! The embarrass secret that he is hiding!"

"So that it's Madam President?" Lelouch said as he came out from the tower as well, looking around for the figure who took his helmet but didn't see him anywhere, but at long the helmet was out of site he was safe for the time being... for now

"Ahh, after all this time, I thought I had some dirt on you!" Milly said as she whined a bit not able to figure out Lelouch secret as Shirley said, "Yeah he almost lost his cool for once."

Suzaku turned towards the girls as Lelouch came up next to him with Kallen suddenly ask, "So, ah. Do you two know each other?"

This surprise both boys with that as they realize they slip up a bit with Nina suddenly said, "Yeah but he an '11'."

Nunnally heard this and frown and turn towards Nina on that with Suzaku soon try to say to cover Lelouch and himself as he started to say, "No I just-

"He's my friend," Lelouch suddenly said out loud which surprise everyone as he said this to try and protect Suzaku while he was at school and going even further as Lelouch said, "Madam President, would you permit him as a member of the student council?"

Everyone was even more shocked by this, including Suzaku as Lelouch went on saying, "The rules are clear, all student much join a club. Although..."

Lelouch trail off as difficult it was to say, the point is clear that no one would accept Suzaku into their club as Milly said, "Well you are the vice-president, I suppose I can't refuse."

Shirley just smiled to this with Rivalz acted a bit confuse but smile afterwards, and with Kallen was not showing much emotion to this to keep up with her act, then Nunally came up and said, "well then I say that's the end of that, now come here you two, lean me an ear."

The two boys were confused on that as they lean in towards Nunnally as she asked them to do before she gave both a kiss on their cheek surprising them both as she said, "There you go, the reward as Milly promise, sense you both caught the cat, you just have to settle for me, an almost real council member."

Thus, as introductions were shared Ven ran off to the clubhouse to drop off the helmet in Lelouch's room.

(Scene Break Ven)

As the funeral was going on Ven and Eureka were in the clubhouse meeting with Nunally. Since Nunally was crippled, she could not attend the funeral and was excused from it. Ven and Eureka had left behind specters to take their place with their classmates as they spoke to Nunally. "Sorry to bring this up again Nunally." Ven said as Umbra was sitting on a chair watching it all go down. "But I was hoping you gave our request some thought." Ven said as Nunally sat there with her own concerns on the offer.

"I'm not sure." Nunally said while Nemo leaned on the wall. "I mean on one hand I can help people but on the other hand..." Nunally trailed off as Ven then sighed to her.

"If you can't then it's alright... at least you have a choice in thus unlike us Tenno." Ven said and thus Nunally heard what he said. "We were never given a choice were forced to be child soldiers for an empire much like Britannia to defend them from their own creations rebelling against them." Ven said as he remembered how the fires of war raged so long ago. "You have a choice now the choice we didn't have and thus you can choose whether to stay out of it or help us." Ven said and thus Nunally had to ask.

"If your war ended then why do you keep fighting?" Nunally asked and thus Ven chuckled to this.

"Why do I keep fighting?" Ven asked and in turn smiled to Nunally with a sad smile. "Because I want to create a world where I can finally put my weapons down and rest." Ven said as that was what he wanted to finally stop fighting and live. "There are people who would stop that desire in the Origin System and thus I have to fight not only for what I desire but so the common people don't have to fight." Ven said making it clear where he stood in such a thing.

"If you have power, it's your choice on how it is use no one else's." Ven said and thus Nunnally clenched her hands on the arm rests of her wheelchair.

"I... I want to help... but I don't want to fight either." Nunally began as Nemo felt what Nunnally felt. "But if I have no choice then I'll fight because I must." Nunally said and in turn Ven sighed as that was a good an answer as any.

"Then I guess welcome aboard, Nemo." Ven said smiling to Nunally even though she could see him smiling.

(Meanwhile with the Lotus)

Looking over the data Nina had compiled the Lotus knew that this girl needed to be stopped from completing this research. It would not be very hard all her Tenno would have to do is install some spyware so if she tries to create the data then when she isn't looking, they can delete it entirely. It may not stop her but it sure will push her back considerably by a large margin.

Still as she looked upon Noir, she smiled a bit as the upgrades were completed and now the Knightmare was ready for Tenno use. She had also been in contact with the Chinese Federation after learning of their own Knightmare frames and sought out one of their Earlier models. They were still negotiating but from what she understood the Frame she was gunning for was similar to Noir being a Prototype. It was worth looking into and the more advantages they had against Britannia the better their chances would be to draw out the Tenno's primary target. Their actions in Area 18 had gotten them some sway with the Chinese Federation and thus would open the way for further deals down the line. But right now, all they can do is work and earn the Chinese Federations trust like the Tenno had done with the Syndicates back on their own Earth.

She then received a message from Ven and smiled as she saw they now had Nemo on their side. This would be beneficial to them because now the Tenno had access to two powerful Knightmares with a third one on the way. Still, this might also open the door for several more bits of equipment that the Tenno can utilize in battle but until then all they can do is wait and see.

(TBC)
