Code Geass: Duty of a Nobody
AN: Now before we get any further, I would like to address something several reviewers brought up as to why I took down Schienzel so quickly. The reason is because Shredder wanted to scare Charles that badly. Out of all of his children we've seen, Schienzel is arguably the most dangerous out of all. Let's face it, Euphie (no disrespect to her) is more on the lines of a humanitarian than a Politian, while Clovis is an actor above all else.
Chapter 1: The Forgotten Prince
-Imperial Palace Server Room-
"What the hell do you mean you don't know!" Emperor Charles demanded to his son over video chat the next morning. The Emperor screamed so loud, Clovis fell to the ground. Among the others in the room were Villetta and Jeremiah, who flinched at the Emperor's tone. On one screen was Charles, on four smaller screens were Cornelia li Britannia, Euphemia li Britannia, Odysseus eu Britannia, and Guinevere de Britannia.
"It is as I said father," Clovis stuttered. "We found the body last night, and I had some medics look into it, it is in fact Schienzel. We had no idea he was even in Area 11."
"How did this happen!" Charles demanded angered.
"To be fair father, none of us even knew Schienzel was missing," Euphemia admitted sheepishly.
"I have already begun a search party father," Clovis said, regaining his composure. "Our evidence supports the Foot Clan has been operating using smaller crime outfits throughout the country. With one of the leader's has recently been captured, a man known as Anton Zeck."
"11s, what will those idiots think of next?" Guinevere scoffed.
"At least you've gotten an effective start Clovis," Cornelia admitted.
"And what of that one 11, the one to pilot the Lancelot?" Odysseus asked.
"Lloyd is handling final prep work on the Knightmare," Clovis explained. "We should,"
"We will not discuss anything else until this Shredder is dead!" Emperor Charles bellowed angrily. He signed off, as did his two oldest children.
"Clovis," Cornelia said, catching everybody off guard for a moment. "Hold off on interrogating this Zeck character for I will handle it."
"I don't understand," Clovis admitted.
"Euphie and I will join you in Area 11, this is such an important task you'll need all the help you can get." Cornelia explained. "We'll be in by the end of the day,"
"Alright then." Clovis said grateful. The transmissions were cut, and everybody exited the room. Unaware, however, a female member of the Foot Clan dropped down from the ceiling, watching from the shadows. She moved in and inserted a flash drive into one of the computers, uploading files.
"Stockman, do you read me?" The kunoichi asked.
"Loud and clear Karai," The man said on the opposite end. "You leave this part to me, I'll have the files ready by the time Cornelia arrives."
"I am surprised at your composure Doctor," Karai admitted. "Guinevere was among the children in the meeting."
"Much like how you ninja practice patience, so to must I," Stockman explained. "But make sure to rendezvous with Bebop, the first components are here."
"Gladly," Karai sneered. As soon as the files finished, Karai smirked under her mask.
-Ashford Academy-
News of Schienzel's death was the only thing Kallen could hear in the halls of Ashford Academy. Needless to say, it got many, many people scared. On her way in, Kallen noticed two say a friend of theirs, Nina was so shocked she stayed home.
Kallen Stadtfelt, preferred name Kozuki, had rarely showed up to school. The official reason was she was sick all the time. The actual reason was she was a member of one of the many anti-Britannia rebel groups in the area. Kallen herself was half Japanese/ half Britannian. Her home life was needless to say complicated, but the short version was her brother Naoto started the group and died in the line of duty. After getting in contact with her longtime friend Ohgi, she joined. As Kallen walked home to change and meet the others, she couldn't help overhearing the various citizens about voicing their opinions.
"That monster, murdering a member of the royal family like that, in front of children."
"It's about time someone did something about Britannia, but how's a ninja clan going to hold up against Knightmares?"
"Dude, something about Shredder just freaks me out, even if he's on our side."
"This Shredder, he's something else." Kallen thought to herself. In the span of a day, he shook Japan to the foundation.
-The Lair-
Down in the lair, Lelouch was on his bed, lifting weights, shirtless in his room. Lelouch's room was of modest size with a full bed to one side, and a dresser next to it. The opposite side was a long bookcase filled with books of all variety and conditions. On the wall above his bed was a rack of tanto blades. Neatly folded on the dresser was the ninja gi he wore as Nobody. Lelouch's intent was to focus on the task at hand. In one movement, Shredder had made a bold and powerful first step in attacking Britannia. True, he and Schneiziel didn't get along the greatest, but he was still his half-brother. His thoughts turned to his blood family. Vividly, he remembered the day he and Nunnally were exiled. They all stood to the side as Lelouch was escorted out, nobody moved to defend them. Though he could tell Euphemia did want to do something. He could hear the others doing whatever they could to prepare. Among them was Nunnally, whose school was cancelled for the day due to Schnieziel's death.
"Lelouch," Splinter said, knocking at the door. "May I come in?"
"Of course sensei, I'm just shirtless," He stood up to put a black t-shirt on as the ninja master walked in.
"I came to see how you were doing my son," Splinter admitted. While not official, Splinter treated both exiled members of royalty as his own family. "I understand if you are filled with many emotions."
"Honestly, I don't know what I'm filled with." Lelouch admitted sadly.
"I too know what you are going through my son," Splinter reminded. "The day Saki attacked my clan filled me with horrors most destructive. Even more so upon learning he took the life of my beloved Tang Shen." Shen was the wife of Yoshi for many years and was one of the reasons behind Saki becoming the Shredder, who he loved too. When it was revealed Tang Shen was pregnant with their first child, it sent him into a frenzy.
"Dudes!" Mikey shouted frightened, running in. "We got to motor, now. Woody just called and said a new gang called the Purple Dragons is straight up tearing apart the neighborhood with some military grade weapons."
"Where?" Lelouch asked firmly.
"Where they aren't is on a shorter list." Donnie said, poking his head in the door. Everyone rushed to the table where Donnie's laptop was placed. Lelouch meanwhile doubled back for his Nobody outfit. "I've run an algorithm after tapping into local police scanners, social media reports, the works." A map of the area showed multiple markers of where the incidents took place.
"Any idea where to start?" Leo asked worried.
"Other than our favorite pizzeria, yes," Donnie brought up a map of the area. "This location is apparently home to a downed Britannian transport truck. And from what I gather, it's transporting something big. As in Clovis personally oversaw its transport big."
"Then let's roll," Raph said, twirling a sai in his hand.
"A moment my children." Splinter began, stroking his beard in thought. "This attack I highly doubt was just the work of a gang, but rather a front for their true master."
"The Foot?" Nunnally asked worried.
"Possibly," Splinter explained. "Which is why I feel we must start to seek allies outside the family,"
This quickly startled everybody. "Really sensei, that bold of a move," Leo brought up.
"I understand, but I know we presently do not have the means of fighting off two armies." Splinter agreed.
"Well, chances are we may find someone out there during the riots to call an ally," Lelouch theorized.
"But not on foot, I've been working on something big that just might help," Donnie smiled. He led his family out to the escape tunnel, which led to Donnie's workshop. In it was several pieces of Knightframes, downed transport ships, and anything else the clan could get ahold of. Donatello walked over and pulled a lever on the wall. A large vehicle was raised out. It looked like a garbage truck at one point, having been painted green and yellow with the logo Tortuga Landfill Co. on the sides. It had a set of high beams on the roof, with a set of three tailpipe afterburners coming from the undercarriage on each side. Donnie had obviously modified it with several hidden weapons. "Everyone say hello to the Battle Shell,"
"Hello," Mikey said awestruck.
"Nice," Lelouch said with a wicked smile.
"That is so cool," Leo said in a breathless whisper.
"Donnie, have I ever told you how awesome you are?" Raph asked amazed.
"No, you have not," Donnie admitted.
"Well I am seriously considering saying it." Raph said as Lelouch and the Turtles got into the vehicle. The back section had six command terminals to work the various weapons and instruments. In the center was a command platform to rise into the roof mounted turrets.
"I get to go next time, right?" Nunnally asked, giving a puppy dog pout.
"Of course, maybe for a nice night under the stars," Splinter told his adoptive daughter.
"Driving!" Leo called out first.
"Aw," Mikey groaned.
"Go get 'em guys!" Nunally said enthusiastically.
"You heard our baby sister," Leo said, getting into the driver's seat, with Donnie taking shotgun. Mikey, Raph, and Lelouch sat in back, buckled up. "Let's light this candle." Leo turned the ignition and floored it.
At high speeds, the Battle Shell boosted through the tunnel. Exiting through a hidden passageway, the Battle Shell raced down the street, intent on stopping this madness.
Nunnally rolled over into one of the lower rooms of the Lair, to the computer room. In it was a large computer terminal with one big screen in the center with two smaller screens on each side. The five screens showed various news feeds. Nunnally put on a tactical headset and started typing.
"Got to love Donatello for teaching me this stuff." Nunnally smiled. "Guys, it seems a squadron of Knightmares are on the way, mostly Sutherlands and a few Glasgows."
"Anything about that new prototype version we heard about while scouting?" Donnie asked into his wrist device.
"Nothing yet, I'll tap into the local feeds and keep you lot posted." Nunnally said as Splinter came in with a bottle of water.
-Unknown location Underground-
Meanwhile, in another part of the slums, a small resistance group was having a meeting about the Shredder. The leader was one Kaname Ohgi, friend of Kallen Kozuki.
"Anything else from this Shredder guy?" One member, a guy named Tamaki asked worried. While many people of the Area were grateful someone took a stand, they were frightened by the actions Shredder took.
"Sadly no, he's been quiet ever since," Ohgi said solemnly. "This guy straight up murdered a member of the Royal Family, it scared a ton of people. I've been hearing multiple resistance cells are conflicted about joining the Foot Clan."
Just then, the hidden base shook violently everyone turned to see several thugs run in. Each wore a black leather jacket of some kind that had a Chinese purple dragon stitched on somewhere. Every one of these goons held a highly advanced rifle in their hands, all pointed at the Kozuki cell. One member strolled through, and instantly frightened everyone present. He was tall, bulky, and gave off this menacing vibe. His outfit's sleeves were shredded off, exposing the dragon tattoo wrapped around his left arm. He had a shaved blond haircut, and a few stray cut scars across his face. His right forearm was covered in a large metallic purple and yellow gauntlet with red buttons on it. His hand was covered in a strange black glove that had a faded yellow circuitry weave through it, not unlike a nervous system.
"Sup, the name's Hun." The lead goon smirked. Everyone quickly and wordlessly raised their hands to surrender. "Good answer," Hun then strolled over to Ohgi. "Now, one question, where's the Stadtfelt girl?"
"We, we don't know," Ohgi admitted. "She's not with us,"
"Oh no?" Hun raised his left hand to reveal his phone had a photo of Kallen entering a Glasgow. "Lie to me again," Hun raised his right fist. It glowed powerfully as an aura of green energy engulfed his fist. He pointed it at the wall, which fired a powerful energy beam, shattering it. "And you'll wish you were that wall."
"She, she's out of town at the moment," Tamaki said nervously. "She's said she wouldn't be back for a few days,"
"Nice try," Hun grabbed Tamaki by the throat. He turned to the others. "Get them into the truck, we got work to do."
-Imperial Palace's Prison-
Princess Cornelia walked through the halls with her personal knight, Gilbert G.P. Guilford. Their intent was to interrogating Anton Zeck in person. Upon entering the room, the two were surprised to see Zeck, surprisingly calm. He sat handcuffed to the table, beatboxing a tune. Zeck had dark skin, and wore a garish red and black hoodie, covered in soot and other forms of filth. He had ripped jeans on, and his hair was styled into a dark purple Mohawk. Ha also had a pair of sunglasses which were presently hanging off his shirt.
"Well as I live and breathe, the Goddess o' Victory herself," Anton Zeck chuckled, seemingly oblivious to his situation.
"Anton Zeck I presume?" Cornelia asked.
"A little professional courtesy please, I go by Bebop," The man said smugly.
"Fine, Bebop, what do you know about the Shredder?" Cornelia asked, trying to sound civil.
"I know he got some of the nastiest scars all over his head, that why he wearin' that ugly ass helmet 24/7." Bebop chuckled.
"I don't think you understand the situation you're in Zeck," Cornelia said angered, her eyebrow twitching.
"Oh I don't know," Bebop laughed mockingly. "I know more about Britannia then you. Like who the inside man for the death of Lady Mary."
"W-what?" Cornelia and Guilford asked in shock.
"And I kid you not, so does Emperor Chuckie, it's why he didn't do nothing about it," Bebop chuckled. "Why did you think he sent them two to this neck of the woods?"
"And what would that be?" Guilford asked confused.
"Not what, who," Bebop corrected. "Chuckie's been hunting somebody down for decades, and with damned good reason."
"What reason would that be?" Finally having had enough, Cornelia slammed her hands to the table. "TELL ME!"
"And you supposed to be a military commander, when you just made a major mistake. You were watching the mouth, when you should have been watching the hands." Bebop laughed, showing both of his freed hands to her.
"What?" Cornelia asked confused, then looked down. During their conversation, Bebop had used a hidden paperclip to pick the locks of his handcuffs, then put them on Cornelia when she put her hands to the table. Bebop quickly jumped over Cornelia, taking her cloak off. Tossing it, Bebop used it to disorient Guilford.
Bebop then quickly grabbed the knight, and threw him into the wall, knocking him out. He then double backed to Cornelia and grabbed both her gun and security badge. "Thanks hot stuff," He ran out of the room, leaving behind a humiliated Cornelia.
"GET BACK HERE!" Cornelia called out embarrassed.
Using the gun, Bebop fired at the oncoming Camelot agents. While they fired back, Bebop used various breakdancing moved to dodge.
"Here we go baby," He leapt up and delivered a powerful flying kick to one Camelot agent's chest. Satisfied after his victory, Bebop walked over to the contraband vault and managed to find his phone. He then called a number on it. "Ay yo Rocksteady, I got in, you gonna be here with the truck?"
"I'm three minutes ahead of schedule," The man known as Rocksteady said with a thick Irish Accent. "Just get to da damned rendezvous point. I don't want Khan breathing down my spine."
Bebop ran off, intent on meeting up with Karai.
-Shinjuku Ghettos-
The Purple Dragons, Hun included were causing riots everywhere, using their weapons to fire into the ghettos. People ran in fear as the bullets of all kind fired. "HERE ME PEOPLE OF JAPAN!" Hun called out. "IT'S TIME BRITANNIA LEARNED THEY CAN'T MESS WITH US!"
One tapped the other on the shoulder, causing him to turn. It was a squadron of Knightframes, leading them in the form of Jeremiah and his Sutherland with Villetta and hers not far behind.
"I'm sorry, why are we here again?" One member of the Purebloods asked.
"This attack is a cover," Villetta answered. "They're using this as an attempt to get at a transport filled with poison gas."
"Bastards are in for one helluva surprise." One dragon cackled.
"No comment," Hun sneered, charging up his gauntlet. He fired it directly at Jeremiah's Sutherland.
What happened next, nobody could believe. The mech fell over and began to short out. "What the hell!" The instruments of the Sutherland went haywire, but most shockingly of all, the Sakuradite gauge went to E almost instantly.
"OPEN FIRE!" Hun declared. "WE'RE GOING TO SHOW THESE BRITANNIAN BASTARDS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MESS WITH THE PURPLE DRAGONS!" The Dragons fired the weapons onto the army of Glasgows.
"How, how did they?" Villetta asked worried as her Knightmare took damage. Somehow, these gang bangers had gotten ahold of weaponry that made Sakuradite useless.
As the group of Purple Dragon's approached, several near the side streets vanished, having been pulled away by one of five shadows.
"What was that?" Hun asked worried. He turned to three Dragons. "You lot, go check it out,"
The trio went off and began to nervously look around the area. It was here, one goon was taken away, followed by another.
"Wha-who are you?" The last goon said nervously.
It was here, Lelouch dropped down in front of him, face concealed by his hood and mask. "Nobody,"
-Imperial Palace Hanger-
Having been freed, Cornelia rushed in to see various technicians trying to clean up the mess left behind by Bebop and his two cohorts. From what she was told by several guards, the first was a Foot Clan Member, the second was a burly fellow with a bald head and thick blond beard clad in a green military uniform with the sleeves ripped off, who entered via a truck from the hanger door. The security cameras ID'd him as Ivan Steranko, nicknamed Rocksteady. He was an arms dealer who prior operated out of Austrailia. Whatever they were after, the security cameras couldn't tell as they mysteriously died out. Cornelia gasped to see the lasted batch of Knightframes ripped apart.
"Sabotage?" Cornelia asked confused. "Why not steal them?"
"Your Highness, they did steal from us," One tech said walking over. "We've gone over the damages, and it appears that the trio of terrorists made off with several internal capacitors."
"Anything else taken?" Cornelia asked confused.
The tech looked over the notes on his clipboard. "From what we can tell, they stole circuit boards, surge protectors, basically anything involved with electrical engineering."
"How odd," Cornelia wondered.
"Cornelia," The Princess turned to see Euphie run up with Clovis not far behind. "We've scouted the area, and we can't find any trace of the truck they used."
"This is awful, first the Shredder kills our brother, then those dragons are attacking the ghetto, now this?" Clovis gasped horrified.
"Get ahold of yourself," Cornelia ordered, slapping him. "Panicking won't solve anything,"
"She's right," Euphemia said. "We should handle this one problem at a time. Perhaps we should send Suzaku out to handle the Purple Dragons?"
"Yes, that does sound best," Gilbert noticed something off in the princess' tone as Cornelia agreed with Euphemia.
As everyone went about to stop this madness, he asked. "Your Highness, it's what Bebop said worried you, doesn't it?"
"Personally, I believe he was just bluffing to get a rise out of me, a successful tactic to be sure," Cornelia said honestly. She paused a moment, clenching her fist angrily. "But I often think back to that day, the day I failed my brother and sister. Maybe, maybe I was just hoping for some closure,"
-Shinjuku Slums-
"Achoo!" Lelouch sneezed randomly. He was stunned momentarily by that coming out of nowhere. A Purple Dragon tried to lunge at Nobody from behind. Without looking, Lelouch knocked the goon out with a fist.
Not far from where Lelouch was fighting, Kallen was watching shocked as her teammates were being loaded onto a truck. She had to meet the others for a meeting, only to find all of this happening. Ohgi was the last in line, and presently wrestling with one as Rocksteady and Bebop walked over. Rocksteady was holding a rather large blaster, one with a similar color scheme to that of Hun's gauntlet.
"What up, what up?" Bebop said with a smirk.
"Bebop, Rocksteady, what are you doing here?" Hun asked confused.
"The boss asked, so 'ere we are," Rocksteady shrugged. "You 'ear da rumors about Nobody right?"
"That vigilante everyone talks about?" Hun scoffed. "Why is Master Shredder so interested in him?"
"Tell you if I know big H," Bebop said, putting on his sunglasses. "But I do know," He paused a moment. "The Stadtfelt girl is right over there,"
Kallen panicked at this and ran. Using this as a distraction, Ohgi managed to slip away, albeit still handcuffed.
"You two fetch the girl, I got him." Hun ordered Rocksteady and Bebop. The duo nodded and ran after Kallen. Bebop launched himself off of Rocksteady's shoulders and made it to the roofs. The truck however loaded up and rolled out.
"Come 'ere cupcake!" Rocksteady called out. He fired several energy rounds, hoping to stun Kallen as she dodged.
"Oh no you don't." Bebop kicked up a few stray stones aimed at Kallen who narrowly dodged.
"These two mean business," Kallen thought panicking. "That Bebop guy's surprisingly agile, while Rocksteady is good with heavy weapons and long range. Two polar opposites that work well together better than expected."
"R money, Hammer throw!" Bebop dove down and grabbed onto Rocksteady's extended left arm. Rocksteady swung it in a single circle and launched Bebop at incredible speeds. Kallen made a sharp turn right, dodging as Bebop landed on the wall she turned from.
"Crap, crap, crap," Kallen gasped as she continued to run. As she did, a certain exiled prince noticed what was going on from above. Lelouch knew he had to act, they did need allies, so maybe trusting this girl would help.
Kallen soon found herself cornered, not only by Rocksteady and Bebop, but by several other Purple Dragons as well. She got into a defensive stance ready to fight, just as Nobody arrived.
"You, you're Nobody aren't you?" Kallen asked in disbelief. Personally, she thought the ninja vigilante rumors was a myth.
"I am," Lelouch said, his mask covering most of his face. Three Dragons approached guns drawn and firing. Nobody drew his sword, deflecting the attacks, reflecting them back at the thugs.
Rocksteady ran forward, fist raised. Nobody dodged it as Kallen jumped up and delivered a round house kick to the giant's face. Bebop soon moved in to strike, pulling out a baton from his belt. It extended and produced a twin pronged fork on each side, one that released a powerful purple colored electric discharge between the spikes. It fired a bolt of lightning at the two who barley dodged.
"Lovely, they've got all the best toys," Kallen said exasperate, as she picked herself off the ground. Grabbing a nearby pipe, she used it as a makeshift staff and started to fend off the onslaught of Purple Dragons.
As Lelouch and Kallen continued to fight, the duo didn't know a certain four were watching from above.
"Aw, we leave our bro along for a few minutes and he already gets a girlfriend," Mikey chuckled.
"Are we really doing this?" Raph asked concerned. "I know Splinter gave us the ok, but,"
"She might be our best shot to start human relations outside Lelouch and Nunnally. Even he thinks we need help stopping Shredder." Leo brought up.
"Anyone have a plan of attack?" Donnie asked concerned.
"Divide and conquer, but we should be focused on those two guys that initiated the chase." Leo suggested.
"Hey Mikey, you remember that thing you use to say all the time when we were kids?" Raph asked whimsically.
"You mean that thing if I ever said it again you'd beat me within an inch of my life?" Mikey asked getting excited.
"Yeah that," Raph confirmed. "You got any left in the tank?"
"Been holding it in for years," Mikey smirked.
"Don't you two dare," Leo began, but it was too late. Mikey and Raph had jumped off the roof with Mikey bellowing:
"BOOYAKASHA!"
"They didn't," Nobody groaned annoyed.
"Who didn't do, whaaa?" Kallen asked confused, which turned to shock as the four mutant reptiles dropped down. The four drew their weapons and began to fight off the Purple Dragons.
"Holy hell in a handbasket," Bebop gasped, pressing a hidden button on the side of his glasses. This allowed Bebop to transmit a live video and audio feed from a micro camera. "Boss,"
"It cannot be," Shredder watched angered. The way these turtles fought, their technique, it was the same as Nobody's, and more importantly. "Hamato Clan arts!"
Swinging his nunchucks, Mikey knocked two Purple Dragons into a group of three. Raph used his sais to grab onto the handguns one used and threw them away. He then used them to slash at a group that got too close.
"Fascinating," Donnie observed, using his staff to block several attacks, he took notice of the designs of the blasters and other weapons. "These weapons seem to use a new form of energy source." He tripped up two and slammed one end of his bo staff into one's face. "Given the output I highly doubt it's sakuradite."
"Geek out later Don," Leo ordered, slashing at several chains that attempted to ensnare them.
"OY RED!" Raph yelled at Kallen. "Pick your damned jaw off the ground and help us fight damn it!"
"Oh, right," Having been snapped out of her stupor by Raph's angry yell, Kallen grabbed her pipe and continued to join the others.
"Damn it all!" Rocksteady charged at Nobody, dropping his gun.
Nobody drew his blade, and used it block Rocksteady's fist. Rocksteady instead smirked and grabbed him, throwing Nobody to the side. Lelouch quickly recoiled and used the momentum to lunge at Rocksteady with a spin kick. Rocksteady barely felt a thing as the attack connected.
"Moron," Bebop groaned annoyed, running at Raph. Bebop soon locked arms with the red clad turtle.
"Guys, Shell Slam the big guy!" Nobody ordered.
"Coming!" Leo and Mikey said in unison. They both slammed their backs into either side of Rocksteady's head, disorienting him long enough for Nobody to deliver a knockout roundhouse kick.
Kallen then threw her makeshift weapon at Bebop, who turned his head to dodge it. This however gave Donnie the opening to strike Bebop with his staff, knocking him out too.
"I wanted to do that!" Raph complained.
"Raph, now is not the time for complaining." Leo said firmly.
"Oh great, they're fighting again." Lelouch groaned annoyed. It was here the sound of more approaching Dragons. "Kids, fight later, we need to vanish!"
"I got it!" Mikey called out, throwing down a smoke bomb. When it cleared, the turtles, Lelouch, and Kallen were gone.
When Kallen could see again, she noticed they were in an apartment building which had been abandoned, likely due to the Purple Dragon attack. "Now, that that's taken care off." She began calmly.
"WHAT THE HELL EVEN ARE YOU?" She turned to four of her five saviors.
"Isn't it obvious?" Nobody smirked.
"Teenagers," Leo said.
"Mutants," Donnie continued.
"Ninjas," Raph added roughly.
"Turtles," Mikey finished, taking a bite out of a slice of pizza he stored in one of his pouches.
"And you?" Kallen turned to Nobody.
"Nobody," He said roughly.
"Dude, not cool," Mikey said, poking Lelouch with his folded nunchucks.
"Stop," Lelouch said, annoyed at his antics.
"We talked about this," Leo said firmly. "If we have a chance at stopping Britannia, we need all the help we can get."
With a grunt, Lelouch gave a reluctant. "Fine," He turned directly to Kallen, pulling off his mask. "The name's Lelouch, formerly a prince of Britannia. While these four are my adoptive brothers, Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael." He pointed to each turtle as he said their name.
"Former, wait, I think I remember reading about you," Kallen admitted shocked. "Son of Lady Marianne, right?"
"You know about that?" Lelouch asked impressed.
"Someone had that successful of an attack on Pendragon, of course I had to research it." Kallen admitted. "But I thought you died years ago?"
"We came to his rescue," Mikey boasted.
"Raph," Lelouch said bluntly.
"Got it," Raph replied, slapping Mikey on the back of the head.
"So, what's your story?" Leo asked.
"I'm Kallen, Kozuki," She began. "I was going to meet up with my team tonight and grab this container of poison gas. But the Purp-,"
"Container of gas?" Donnie interrupted worried. "The same one in the transport the Dragons are going for right now?" Everyone got frightened at this.
"To the Battle Shell!" Mikey declared heroically.
"You guys have a car?" Kallen asked impressed.
"Did ya think we walked here?" Raph asked rudely.
-Crash Site-
The team of six looked down from the roofs at the Purple Dragons, led by Hun, having rounded up several Purebloods, Villetta not included, while Ohgi was nowhere in sight. The Purple Dragons had brought over one of their own transits, while a still functional Glasgow was to the side. The Imperial Transit truck was now on its side, having been tipped over by the Dragons. Jeremiah had just been knocked out by Hun for backtalk about something. Bebop walked over, recovered and mentioned that Rocksteady had to go elsewhere.
"Damn, talk about taking prisoners," Mikey said, looking at the scene via binoculars.
"Anyone have a plan?" Kallen asked worried.
"Donnie, Raph, take Kallen down and see what you can do about hotwiring that Glasgow down there." Lelouch ordered. "Mikey, Leo, and I will sneak into that truck to see if we can find out where your friends are,"
"It's a start," Kallen said. The two teams moved to see what they could salvage from all of this.
Lelouch's team made it to the Purple Dragon truck first, seeing a few crates of weapons about. They began to fan out, looking for a clue. However Mikey gasped, opening one up.
"Guys," Mikey began nervously. "I just found out why the Dragons weren't too shocked to see us." Lelouch and Leo turned, initially concerned which turned to fear, seeing Mikey had found a canister of ooze, the same stuff that turned the turtles and Splinter into what they are today.
"First they have advanced weaponry that can take out a Knightframe, now ooze?" Lelouch asked astonished.
"Just who are these guys?" Leo asked in an equal tone.
Over at the Glasgow, the duo of Donnie and Kallen had gotten into the cockpit, while Raph had opted to remain a lookout outside.
"That doesn't add up," Donnie said concerned.
"What?" Kallen asked worried.
"See for yourself," Donnie pointed to the Glasgow's screen, which was now active, zooming in on the Britannian Transport, whose back door was now open. "The container itself has taken some damage, enough to leak out, so why isn't anyone wearing protective gear?"
"Because it's not poison," Kallen realized.
"Guys come in," Nunnally said over the Shell Cell panicking. Kallen looked over to see Raph pulled out a turtle shell themed smartphone.
"What up kiddo?" Raph asked concerned at his adopted sister's tone.
"You know that new Knightframe we heard about?" Nunnally began worried. "It's on its way."
"Aw shell," Raph groaned.
"What new Knightframe and who was that?" Kallen asked worried at Raph's tone.
"Well, the Knightframe looks like that!" Donnie pointed.
At incredible speeds a white, black, and gold rolled into the scene. It was tall, having a shield shaped chest piece with a single red jewel like light on it. Throughout its body is several rounded off pieces of armor, and a sole head crest.
"The first Gen 7 off the line," Raph whistled impressed.
"Really?" Kallen asked flatly.
"We all have a mutual love of robotics and vehicles," Donnie shrugged.
"Dude," Mikey said impressed as the three brothers poked their heads out of the truck's backdoor.
"I know," Lelouch said in a similar tone.
"Purple Dragons, surrender at once!" The pilot said in a firm tone.
"GET HIM!" Hun ordered angered recognizing the voice. "We ain't letting that traitor live!"
"Traitor?" Kallen asked worried.
The dragons began to fire at the Lancelot, however it was too fast, dodging every blast.
"Keep an eye on this, I'm going for the container." Lelouch said, seeing this as an excellent distraction, causing the two turtles to nod.
Quickly and quietly, Lelouch made his way to the cracked container, unaware one stray member of the Purists, Kewell Soresi, was right behind him.
"If it's not gas, then what is it?" Lelouch questioned.
From the inner working of the container, came a series of taps, someone was inside it. Using his blade, Lelouch was able to break the remainder of the destroyed lock.
When it opened, Lelouch was shocked to see it was a girl his age with long lime green hair. She was clad in what could best be described as a strait jacket themed outfit a high collar that went just under her nose with high heeled boots.
"It's about time," The girl said flatly. She looked over in mild amusement to see the Turtles.
"Hold it right there," Kewell said firmly, pulling out a gun.
Lelouch calmly turned around to see the Pureblood, and flatly asked. "Do you really want to do this?"
"Stand down 11, that is property of the Britannian Empire. Do not make me use force," Kewell ordered.
Lelouch didn't say anything, instead he threw a shuriken at Kewell's hand, disarming him. With the Pureblood stunned, Lelouch dealt a quick kick to Kewell's midsection, landing him on a stray cockroach.
"You 11 piece of-," Kewell began, only for Lelouch to punch the downed soldier.
"Aw, Shaddup!" Lelouch groaned annoyed. The mystery girl looked up at Lelouch impressed, this was going to be easier than she thought.
It was here, the mystery girl grabbed onto Lelouch with a devious smile, taking his mask. As she did, it was as if Lelouch's senses were pulled from his body. As this was going on as one Dragon began to approach.
"Clearly you live a very interesting life with even more interesting beings. But what if you and I could help each other? If I grant you power, could it help you? I propose a deal—in exchange for this power, you must agree to make my one wish come true. Accept this contract, and you accept its conditions. While living in a world of humans, you will live unlike any other: a different providence, a different time, a different life. The Power of the King will condemn you to a life of solitude. Are you prepared for this?" The mystery girl's voice echoed in a white void.
Lelouch was needless to say shocked at what was happening, but there was something off about this girl. But he knew one thing, this might be needed to understand why Clovis had such interest in this girl. "I accept, if it means I can make a world where my family can live in peace, I accept!" The mystery girl smiled.
When he could see again, Lelouch saw the dragon approaching with a powered rifle.
"Enjoy your Geass," The mystery girl said with a smirk.
"STOP!" Lelouch ordered, a strange symbol in his left eye. The same symbol appeared in the goon's eyes, and he strangely obeyed. Both Leo and Mikey ran in to see what had happened.
"Since when can you do that?" Mikey asked confused.
"Since now, just, ask, her?" Lelouch's confusion was initially at his new ability. However, it was then shifted to the fact that the mystery girl was now gone.
"You can mind control people just by looking at them funny?" Mikey asked astonished, as he climbed over the now catatonic goon.
"Apparently, yes," Lelouch admitted still confused.
"You could use that to make it so Mikey could never eat our pizza again," Leo gasped amazed.
"Yes," Lelouch smirked deviously.
"Dude!" Mikey gasped horrified.
"Incoming!" Raph called out, seeing the Lancelot roll in. It stopped for a moment, looking directly at the unmasked Nobody.
"Wait, Lelouch?" The Lancelot pilot gasped confused. The cockpit opened up to reveal the now teenage Suzaku Kururugi now in the uniform of the Brittannian army.
"Suzaku?" Lelouch questioned confused.
"Well, isn't this special," Raph said sarcastically.
"What happened to you?" Both Suzaku and Lelouch said in near perfect unison.
"You joined the Brittanian Military/ Have you been living on the streets?" The two asked each other at the same time.
"Well, this asks so many questions," Kallen said offhandedly.
"Uh, Kallen," She turned to see Ohgi, having escaped, albeit badly beaten up. "What's with the turtles?"
"Apparently, they're on our side, I'm still trying to figure the rest," Kallen whispered back.
"Cool," Ohgi shrugged, still frightened a bit.
"Hold it right there!" Villetta ordered, however her eyes widened seeing the turtles.
"Hi," Mikey waved.
"AHH!" Villetta panicked so greatly, she fell back in shock.
"She wants me," Mikey smiled.
"You do understand how we all doubt that right?" Ohgi asked concerned.
"Guys," Donnie brought up as the remaining Dragons ran over.
"We'll work this out later, but for the love of god Mikey don't you dare say," Lelouch threatened, only for Mikey to already shout.
"BOOYAKASHA!" Mikey delivered a barrage of swings from his weapons.
"What does that even mean?" Ohgi asked confused.
"No idea, it's just fun to say," Mikey called out as he continued.
"Wait for us Mikey!" Raph cackled as he joined, his sais twirling.
Donnie delivered a barrage of strikes with his staff. Raph delivered several strikes with his sais, not unlike punches. Leo and Lelouch were back-to-back, using their swords to block blaster fire.
As the turtles and humans continued to fight, Kewell had recovered and noticed the canister of ooze which had been knocked out of the truck by the attacks. Curious he picked it up.
"Put the ooze down, now!" Lelouch ordered.
"You think I'd believe you Eleven?" Kewell shouted angrily. He gripped the canister so tightly, it slipped out of his hand, straight into the air, then landed back onto Kewell.
"Oh no!" Lelouch cried out, seeing the ooze drop directly onto the body of Kewell. The canister shattered, covering the Purist in the blue slime. He screamed in pain as the ooze began to work, which woke Villetta up.
"What does that stuff even do?" Kallen asked, worried about this ooze.
"How do you think we got so handsome?" Raphael answered.
"Pardon?" Ohgi asked worried.
"Oh, seeing the problem," Kallen said worried.
Kewell began to grow taller, while his arms and legs extended, his upper limbs thinned out significantly, and his hands grew sharp claws. A second set of smaller arms shot out of his lower ribcage, while a pair of short insectoid wings emerged from his mid back. His forearms and lower legs gained muscle mass. A pair of antennae shot out of his head, as a black and green exoskeleton with blue veins covered his body. When the transformation was complete, Kewell was now a 9 foot tall humanoid insectoid like monstrosity. His face had insect panels for eyes with four mandibles for a jaw. The only thing that remained from his previous form was the shredded remains of his uniform.
"Dude, that is just all kinds of nasty," Michelangelo admitted shocked.
"I second that notion," Villetta reluctantly agreed.
"You, what did you do to me?" Kewell demanded angered.
"Us, we told you not to mess with the ooze, but you was all, Britannia's most elite don't got to worry about this," Mikey said mockingly.
"Liars!" Kewell ran forward, as the back of his lower wrists fired off some kind of blue sludge. As everybody scattered, they were shocked to see the sludge was actually acid, burning away any surface that it touched.
"How does that come from a bug?" Villetta asked horrified.
"Do you really want to ask questions, or do you want to run for your life?" Donnie asked rhetorically.
"Good point!" She quickly scrambled away.
"Boss, you seeing this?" Bebop asked frightened, showing Shredder the live feed from his sunglasses.
"I am," Shredder admitted impressed. "Kraang was right, it is a weapon of limitless potential."
"What do you want us to do about it?" Hun asked into his phone.
"Leave for now, we got enough." Shredder ordered. The Purple Dragons and Bebop obeyed.
"Lelouch, what about your new superpower?" Leo brought up.
"Let's find out," Lelouch said, turning to the newly created mutant. "Oy, Scumbug," The mutant insect turned to the exiled prince. "Stop this now!" His geass now active.
"Make me, you bastard," The newly named monster spat. "I served Britannia faithfully for years, and you have the audacity to do this to me!" Scumbug gestured to himself.
"I didn't do anything of the sorts," Lelouch insisted, worried of both of Kewell's questionable sanity, and that his geass didn't work on mutants.
"LIAR!" He fired more acidic sludge at Lelouch, who quickly rolled to the side.
"That's enough," Suzaku said from within the Lancelot. The newly build mech rolled over and fired its left arm slash harkens. However Scumbug jumped over the attack, attempting to fly. This would actually fail, as Scumbug's wings were too wet from his transformation to work properly. Instead he landed on top of the Lancelot. The shift in weight caused it to fall to the ground. It was here, a serrated mantis claw folded out of Scumbug's larger forearms. With a demonic smirk, Scumbug began to cut into the casing of the Knightmare.
"Maybe it's time this 11 learned his place." Scumbug declared, as he sprayed acid onto the mech.
"No, no!" Suzaku began to panic as light shined in. The corrosion began to drip into the cockpit, as Scumbug began to pull the Knightmare apart. The pieces flew off in droves, exposing the inner workings of the cockpit.
"Well, we better go save him," Leo said.
"Michelangelo, kindly sound the charge," Lelouch requested formally.
"With pleasure my brother, BOOYAKASHA!" Mikey replied. Lelouch and the four turtles charge weapons drawn and grabbed onto Scumbug, attacking him. Leo and Raph would attack the lower limbs. Lelouch and Donnie took the head, while Mikey handled the chest.
"Suzaku, move!" Lelouch ordered.
"Damn it Lelouch, I'm trying to save you, not the other way around." Suzaku said stubbornly.
"Funny, we're doing a better job than you!" Raph called out.
"Hold your breath!" Donnie called out, tossing down a smoke bomb into Scumbug's mouth, disorienting him.
"Any ideas?" Lelouch asked as the five jumped off the disoriented mutant.
"I do," Mikey said ecstatically.
"No, Mikey, you don't." Leo said flatly.
"Totally do dude, he's a bug, we need a windshield." Mikey brought up.
Everyone looked at the orange turtle and realized, Mikey had a good idea for once. "Mikey, Don, get the Battle Shell, Leo, Raph, you're with me on distraction details." Donnie and Mikey quickly ran to get the vehicle.
"Happily," Leo agreed.
"I'm good with that, my sais need a good sharpening." Raph cackled.
"Let's squash this bug." Leo said, pointing his swords at Scumbug. The trio ran at the mutant bug, tossing a few shuriken at him. The attacks bounced off his armored exoskeleton.
"Annoying pests!" Scumbug spat.
"Pot meet kettle," Raph joked.
"RAAH!" Scumbug lunged at the trio. He began to slash wildly at the trio who could barely keep up, parrying the attacks. However it was here, Kallen, having gotten into the Glasgow, fired the slash harken, and managed to wrap it around both of Scumbug's left arms.
"Anyone mind hitting him?" Kallen struggled, pulling against the insect.
"Eleven bitch," Scumbug spat. He then slashed with his right claws, cutting through line. He then jumped at her, his wings then started to dry off more, allowing him to hover a bit.
"Oh no you don't!" Lelouch jumped up and managed to get onto Scumbug's face, throwing down another smoke bomb. Lelouch then dug his sword into the spot between Scumbug's eyes. The cut wasn't strong enough to do any real damage, but slightly pierced the exoskeleton.
Leo meanwhile took a long piece of debris from the Lancelot and tied it to the severed end of Kallen's slash harken. "Kallen, catch!" He spun the smaller piece, allowing it to shoot at the Knightframe. Kallen caught it, and began to maneuver around Scumbug, ensnaring the mutant. Ohgi then picked up one of the Purple Dragon rifles and fired a series of energy bullets at Scumbug, trying not to hit anyone. Raph and Leo then ran at Scumbug, slashing at both of his legs. Like with Lelouch's attack, neither did any real damage, but instead caused him to fall to his knees.
"Get off of me!" Scumbug declared.
"With pleasure," Lelouch smiled. He backflipped off of Scumbug, taking his sword back, just as the Battle Shell raced over and slammed into Scumbug.
"How's this for a flashbang!" Mikey declared from the driver's seat, turning on the high beams and blinding Scumbug. "Flash-!"
"-Bang!" Donnie rose into the roof turrets as the two cannons folded out. He then fired them into Scumbug, pushing him off the Battle Shell, and into a condemned two-story building. The force was so powerful, it caused it to collapse onto Scumbug.
"Did that do it?" Kallen asked worried, exiting the Knightframe.
"Let's hope so," Ohgi said running over. "Because damn that was cool,"
"Hold it Lelouch!" Suzaku called out, running over.
"You're welcome," Raph said rudely.
"You, whatever you are, just shut it!" Suzaku ordered.
"You did not just insult my brothers like that," Lelouch said angrily.
"Brothers, but what?" Suzaku gapped. He quickly shook off the shock. "I'm more than certain Emperor Charles would love to know you're alive, and we can get you cleaned up."
"Oh you shouldn't have said that," Leo said worried.
"Don't speak to me, ever," Lelouch told Suzaku.
"Speak to you, Lelouch I just saved your life!" Suzaku shouted angered. "Where have you been these past 7 years, living off the streets?"
"So what if I have been?" Lelouch said rhetorically. "I seem to remember you never once sought out either myself or Nunnally after Britannia invaded. Hell, you still thought we were dead. And now, now you think I'd go back to Charles?"
"BECAUSE HE'S YOUR FATHER!" Suzaku bellowed angered.
"That monster was never my father," Lelouch said flatly. "He abandoned me, my sister, and my mother, all to invade a country halfway across the world."
"Are you for real?" Suzaku demanded. "You, you, you, you're living with mutant freaks!"
"Who have shown greater humanity than anyone in Britannia." Lelouch brought up, as the Turtles, Ohgi, and Kallen stood by him.
"And we're better looking than you," Raph laughed, causing Ohgi to hi-five the sai wielding turtle.
"Dude, you're not winning this argument." Leo said firmly.
"Emphasis on winning." Ohgi agreed, pointing his rifle.
"You criminals won't have a choice, for once we inform the Empire of this, you'll be lucky if you wind up in a jail cell!" Villetta declared as she came up.
"Lelouch, introduce them to your new trick," Leo said firmly.
"With pleasure," Lelouch's eye turned red. "You'll forget you saw the seven of us here, got it!"
Suzaku and the Purists' eyes glowed accordingly. "Alright,"
"How did this happen?" Kallen whispered confused.
"A girl with green hair that Clovis abducted gave it to me," Lelouch admitted, however he and the others heard the multitude of sirens approaching. "And smoke bomb!"
-Imperial Palace Laboratory-
From his terminal Lloyd altered the footage from the Lancelot, uploading the video files of the Turtles and Lelouch. He uploaded them to a private ghost file, one only he knew about. A devious smile stretched across his face.
-Sewers-
The Battle Shell rolled into the sewers with the stolen Glasgow hanging off the back, leading to The Lair. Kallen noticed how upset Lelouch seemed to be, but uncertain of what to say.
"So, Lelouch, you going to be ok?" Leo asked worried.
"Thank you," Kallen whispered discreetly.
"I just got into a shouting match with my first real friend, who I thought was dead and now find out is an enemy," Lelouch said crossly. "I'm peachy,"
"Honestly, I felt you handled that better than I could," Ohgi said with a shrug.
"We're here," Leo said as he parked the Battle Shell at the Lair.
When they got in, Ohgi had one thing to say. "Damn, you guys are basically homeless, and you live better than I do,"
"Well, I wasn't expecting so much company," Splinter said as he and Nunnally came over to greet their guests.
"Sensei!" The five ninjas bowed respectfully.
"Sensei?" Kallen and Ohgi asked confused.
"Sensei, you're not going to believe this," Lelouch said amazed.
"I am aware of your Geass ability," Splinter said calmly, catching everyone off guard. "While meditating, I heard her skulking about," Splinter turned and everyone looked to see the mystery girl tied up at chair at the kitchen table, trying to get at some pizza.
She looked up at everyone and bluntly said. "Your father doesn't know how to treat guests."
-Ghettos-
It was hours later, and the other purebloods had left, taking the damaged Lancelot back. Scumbug slowly wiggled out of the debris, pain covering him. Weakly, he managed to push his head and left arm out of the rubble.
"Tragic, absolutely tragic," Scumbug looked up to see Shredder and a small assortment of Foot Ninjas stand before him. "They abandoned you, despite your loyalty."
"I have nothing to say to you," Scumbug spat angrily.
Shredder snapped his fingers. On command, the Foot Clan moved the debris off the mutant.
"But that is the thing Kewell, I need loyalty, a key weapon nobody in Britannia truly has," Shredder knelt before the bug. "Even some of your allies have proven they would abandon you, all to get ahead in the game. But what if we could do something about it?"
And here's the first official chapter. Now I do have plans for several other mutants, including ones we haven't seen too often outside of the shows. But don't worry, Rocksteady and Bebop will get their makeovers.
If you have a request please use an actually account to ask me. It's just so I can say yes or no to it.
