"Let me see you BURST, Britannian!"-Kallen, Code Geass R1
Stage 6
…
Stadtfeld Mansion
…
"In other news, the war between the Holy Britannian Empire and the European Union had a sudden change. The territories lost by the European were retaken by the former."
"What do you think it happened?"
"There were numerous reports that the Europeans had deployed soldiers wearing green fatigues with a circular insignia of a skull on their left shoulders."
"So they hired soldiers from that mercenary nation called Militaires Sans Frontiéres, also known as Outer Heaven?"
"Yes, it seems that their services are contacted from all kind of places, especially in European Union."
"Wow, they surely gained a lot of attention"
"Yeah, it has been 2 weeks since they made their debut along with Zero and the Order of the Black Knights. However, actual evidence has yet to be found."
"You mean their escape route?"
"They both concealed their escapes, the Militaires Sans Frontiéres used some kind of colorful smoke to disappear while The Order of the Black Knights freed the hostages and escaped on the main coastal road"
"Are they allies?"
These were the topics that were being discussed on the news. Most of it was about Militaires Sans Frontiéres and the Order of the Black Knights. While talking about these topics, Kallen was sleeping naked with only a pair of pink underwear.
Suddenly she heard a loud noise. She got up, put on a pink dressing gown and opened the door of her room. She looked around of the hallway and saw her mother, who is working as the maid of the Stadtfeld family.
"Ah Kallen…M-mistress" She corrected herself as she noticed her.
"I'm sorry for waking you up." She apologized to her daughter.
"Again?"
"I'm sorry, this time it's because the ladder fell" Said her mother.
"Hurry up and clean this. It's almost time for me to go to school" Ordered Kallen almost coldly.
"Mistress, you've been going to school more often lately. Did you make any friends" She said with a small smile.
"That's none of your business" retorted Kallen almost angrily at her mother as she returned to her room.
But behind the door she has her head down and with a hating tone said "Go away."
…
Yesterday, night time, in an unknown bay of Japan (I prefer the real name than Area 11)
…
Big Boss, Miller and 4 MSF soldiers: Dorado, Donkey, Mandrill and Fly ran through a small bridge that was connected to the roof of a warehouse. Once they have reached the roof they saw a giant window on the floor. They crouched and peeked on it, inside they saw their objectives: some kind of drug factory preparing the drug Refrain, their mission is to eliminate the 2 dealers, the workers and burn the Refrain to ashes.
Big Boss motioned everybody to take out their M1911A1 with suppressor and aim to any target.
Once they are ready, Big Boss drew out a small pressing button and pressed it.
Inside the warehouse, the dealers and the workers were surprised when the lights suddenly turned off.
"What happened?!" Shouted the dealer #2.
"Somebody turn on the lights!" Shouted a worker.
Suddenly they started to hear thud sounds. "What the hell?!" Shouted the dealer #2 frightened.
One of the workers successfully reached the lever for the energy supply and pulled it down.
The lights came back and what they saw shocked them, all the workers were on the floor with bullets on their heads.
"What the…?" Expressed the dealer #1 with fear at the dead bodies.
Suddenly the windows from the roof broke, prompting them to cover themselves from the pieces falling down.
Several ropes fell from the roof and 4 figures slid down rapidly on it.
They landed on the floor and pointed their assault rifles on the dealers and some other workers.
"You guys are…!" Shouted the dealer #2 as he recognized them. It was the famous mercenary soldiers Militaires Sans Frontiéres.
*Tratatatatataatata!*
They unleashed a torrent of bullets killing both dealers and workers.
"AAAAHH!" they screamed as they fell to the ground.
"Well that was easy" Said Donkey simply as he reloaded his assault rifle.
"Not yet, we have to destroy the Refrain drugs" Said Big Boss. Miller took several steps forward and stared at the packs of Refrain. They received a message from Veg that Britannians are manufacturing Refrains which is a drug that allows the user to relive the past, it would cause trouble to his bosses so they needed to eliminate the problem. Veg asked them to destroy a particular place where it's preserving most of the drugs.
Miller didn't like the idea of reliving the past; his childhood wasn't a pleasant one and the fact that his mother suffered some kind of disease which in her final moment didn't recognize his own son hurts him a lot, there was nothing left for him to relive.
He took out a C4 and stared at it for a moment, and then he finally said it…
"Let's get this over with" said Miller almost coldly.
Everyone took out a C4 and placed it on the Refrain packs and then some on the walls for the building to collapse.
They exited the building and turned around. Big Boss and the rest drew out the pressing button and pressed it.
*Booom!*
The packs of Refrains and the walls exploded allowing the roof to fall and crush everything that is inside. They stared at the burning building with flames illuminating the scene.
…
Present, right now in Ashford Academy
…
"Kazuhira Miller!" Shouted Kallen standing up in the middle of a class which caused a lot of laughter at her.
A small blush appeared on her face. She wondered why she mentioned the name of that man she met 2 weeks ago.
When the class was over, the students went to their recess. Rivalz and Shirley were talking with Kallen.
"Falling asleep is so unlike you Kallen" Said Shirley surprised.
"Ah… I was a bit…" Spoke Kallen trying to say something else
"Why don't you become Lelouch's disciple? That guys is an expert at sleeping." Joked Rivalz ,they turned around noticing that he fell asleep with a hand on his head.
"That's him sleeping? "Asked Kallen
"I don't know what he does every night, but he slept through more than half of the lesson." Remarked Rivalz while Kallen stared at Lelouch.
"So, who is this Kazuhira Miller you mentioned?" said Shirley suddenly with curiosity.
"Well uh…" Muttered Kallen since she didn't know what to say about a man she barely knows.
"Is he your boyfriend?" Teased Milly popping out behind her.
"What? No!" Retorted Kallen.
"He is just a new acquaintance I met weeks ago" She said to her friends.
"Is he an Eleven like Suzaku?" Asked Rivalz.
"Sort of" Replied Kallen nervously while being bombarded by questions.

Tokyo Settlement Viceroy Palace Train Station
…
In the train station of the Britannian Army, Cornelia, accompanied with Euphi, was on her way to the train to solve some critical situations. She received reports that numerous places in E.U were retaken by the former with the help of the mercenary nation MSF. They are slowly losing the E.U campaign, which will result on huge amounts of expenses wasted, weakness against mercenaries, and humiliation of the nation. She could still remember that reunion she had weeks ago with Britannian officers and his brother; Schneizel el Britannia.
…
Flashback, 2 weeks ago
In Tokyo Settlement, Viceroy Palace
…
Inside the Viceroy Palace, a conference was being held with 10 high ranking members of the Britannian army, along with Cornelia, with her personal knights, Darlton and Guilford, Euphemia, and one member of the Imperial family who is present via monitor displayed in a screen within the room, Schneizel el Britannia and his subordinate Kanon ,who are currently aboard the ship, the Avalon.
All the attendees were seated on chairs around giant round table, discussing about urgent matters like the sudden uprising of some Areas. They still have the control of the situation, but there was no telling how much longer the status quo will stand, there were some small Areas that were going out of control with many groups attacking Britannian outposts and spreading words about "civil rights and liberty"
"This is unbelievable! How is it that our conquered lands are starting to upraise against us?!" Said the Officer #1 in disbelief.
"I agree with that, we stationed many Britannian armies to control the Areas in case they plan any revolt, we even stored all the weapons in our high secured facilities, it was technically impossible for any resident to just walk in and grab whatever they want." remarked the officer #2 then he change to a frustrating tone.
"But then out of nowhere, the facilities were suddenly attacked by a group of people who took out several Knightmares with their guns, stole the weapons and distributed it to all the resident! It was impossible!"
"I've got worse! My Kinghtmare Frame platoon in Area 4 was taken down by 4 men! 4 lowly men!" Added the officer #3 in disbelief.
"Calm down gentlemen!" Said suddenly Cornelia shutting them up.
"Pardon our sudden outburst your highness, it's just that we've never seen anything like this before" Said the officer #10 with a saddened tone.
"No worries gentlemen, its normal to feel bad about what happened" Spoke Schneizel with a calmed tone.
"Thank you my prince" Thanked the officer #10 happily.
"While all of you were complaining about these uprisings, I already figured out who is behind these" Spoke Cornelia.
"Your Highness do you know who these people are?" Asked the officer #1.
"It is clear who the culprits of these sudden uprisings are." Said Cornelia roughly, then she handed a profile in front of the round table. When the profile landed on the table, many pictures inside of it came out. The pictures showed many Knightmares destroyed with people around cheering at the KF's destructions, some of the pictures showed that on top of the KF's stood 2 or 3 men with their weapons pointing upwards like a victory pose, their faces were covered with black balaclava and were wearing green fatigues with the insignia of a skull on their left shoulder.
"These people got the same insignia!" Noticed the Officer #4
"Wait I recognize these people! "Interjected the Officer #5
"Aren't they…?"Said the Officer #7
"Yes they are the mercenary band Militaires Sans Frontiéres" Concluded Cornelia
"It was them all the time!" Expressed the officer #3 with frustrating tone.
"But how did they managed to destroy our Knightmares?! Those machines are supposed to be the most powerful weapon in the world!" Said the officer #5 incredulously
"It's clearly that they are not just regular terrorists, they fought the Knightmares with ease, it was as if they had some sort of training." Said the officer #8 logically.
"Training against Knightmares? But that's absurd!" Said the Officer # 10 dumbstrucked.
"Enough! This is not the time to complain about what happened. First we must control the situation!" Yelled Cornelia silencing all the officers.
"While all these incidents were happening. We sent a plane to take pictures of the Pacific Ocean, the man called Big Boss said that their base is located in there." Spoke Cornelia
"How stupid, he just gave us his location for us to terminate him" Said officer #6 with a smirk.
Suddenly the doors opened revealing an officer with an USB and a folder.
"Your Highness! Here are the results!" Informed the Officer as he handed both items to the assistants.
One of them took the USB and inserted it on the projector. What the projector showed, shocked most of the people in the conference as they did not expect to see what they imagined.
The image showed many hexagonal plants annexed with bridges, they saw many living quarters, many facilities and 3 giant hangars. All the struts, specially the hangar, have lots of missile launchers and machine guns stationed in there. The most surprising is that the base is the same size of Area 7, it was actually a giant heavily armed fortress!
The group was shocked at this, so this is the promised nation for the soldiers.
"For the love of Britannia! It's giant!" Said Guilford in shock.
"I agree" Said Darlton too in shock.
Schneizel stared at the image with a small hint of surprisement, he heard that Knightmare Frames were destroyed by 4 or more men, he imagined that hundreds of these men could technically conquer the whole world in a year, even if the size of their fortress is small, they are extremely powerful, they might even equal the Knight of Rounds.
He thought that he could just hire them and request them to conquer E.U or the Chinese Federation, but unfortunately he has a reputation to take care of.
"Your Highness! What should we do?! If 4 men could obliterate a Knightmare platoon, thousands of them could destroy or overpower our army!" Said the officer #6 in horror as others started to whisper amongst themselves.
"Calm down gentlemen, let's not show fear" Said Schneizel trying to calm down the officers.
"What is your plan your highness?" Asked the officer #9.
"For now, leave them be. It will give us enough time to gather information about them like the way they fight, their equipment, strategy, and weakness. Once we have analyzed their pattern, we will strike back" Said Schneizel with precision.
"With all due respect, my lord. How are we going to defend our outposts if we just let them do whatever they want?" Asked the officer #2
"In case they attack, retreat with all the resources you can get. Don't forget, our army is the largest in the world and our soldiers are expendable." Answered Schneizel.
"Sounds good to me" Said the officer #10
"Good plan your highness!" Complimented the officer #4
…
End of Flashback
…
Cornelia thought about that reunion and wondered if everything is going to be fine. But aside of that matter, she has another problem to solve.
"Hmn, sister" Called Euphy "What happened that you have to leave?"
Cornelia decided to explain it to her sister.
"Another battle has broken out the E.U at the El Alamein Front, which means that we can't always be held up by Area 11. We need to deal with our domestic affairs and turn this into a safe area. In order to do that, it's urgent to eliminate terrorist organizations. But the drug "Refrain" which is widespread among the Elevens, is an urgent matter as well. Productivity has dropped because of it. We must terminate the main transportation route to the Chinese Federation. Do you understand that?" Explained Cornelia as the train arrived.
"Yes. Please be careful" Said Euphy softly.
"You too. Stop going to the settlements" Suggested Cornelia.
"Sister, about the Order of the Black Knights…"
"I'll let them roam free for a while, since I owe them a favor for saving you." Said Cornelia with a smile, but then her smile disappeared switching to her serious tone "Besides, there is a bigger threat to deal first"
Euphi looked at her with a concerned look "Outer Heaven?"
Cornelia nodded "Yes, their influence across the world jeopardize our safety, therefore, we must prepare to counter attack."
"Sister, about Outer Heaven…"
Cornelia raised an eyebrow and asked "What about them?" Euphy looked a little hesitant but said it.
"I met their leader when I was with the hostages" Said Euphy softly.
"What? Did he hurt you?" said Cornelia with venom.
"No, but…when you encounter him, you'll kill him?" Asked Euphy hoping that she could meet and talk to him. His ideal of equality and none discrimination is similar to one of her goal to create a place where people are not discriminated by numbers, especially in Japan. She would've liked him to join her campaign of peace.
She also thought that maybe she could convince her sister to spare him from being executed if he were captured.
"What are you suggesting?" Replied Cornelia.
"His ideology about equality is something that Britannia need" Said Euphy.
"No Euphy, he is a terrorist, a killer hired to kill whoever orders him." Retorted Cornelia with a serious tone. She was trying to reason her sister about never negotiate with criminals.
"But, at least I need to talk to him" said Euphy softly.
"Don't worry about him right now. If its possible ill let you meet him once he is captured" Said Cornelia although she didn't like the idea of leaving her sister with the leader of a mercenary nation.
Cornelia let out a small smile and extended her hand to stroke her sister's face.
"I shall clean up this Area, before handing it to you, so please don't think of anything dangerous. Okay Euphy?"
She nodded softly while thinking about her plan for the special zone…
…
Mother Base
…
In Mother Base they were receiving one hell of jobs. After Big Boss announced the existence of Outer Heaven, people from all kind of places requested their services, one must say that this is a golden opportunity, never in the history of Mother Base have they received so many requests; they certainly got a lot of attention.
Surprisingly, the most requested place is the superpower European Union; they have been constantly asking for Outer Heavens help in their war against Britannia. Amazingly, they were well received in that nation; they were viewed as saviors, guardians, divine warriors and even heroes. They received big rewards from villagers, religious, politicians, etc . And they also got recruits from that nation, most of them deserters of European armies.
In the Chinese Federation they got moderates requests, most of them were wet jobs like assassinating people, there were also jobs involved in protecting people. In that nation, the Chinese people seemed to be nice to them, they even compared MSF soldiers to the historical armies of the Chinese Federation like the Yue Family Army who managed to defeat giant armies using small portion of soldiers, they were also compared to mythological creatures when it's about their strength, like the Chinese dragons that symbolize good fortune and sign of intense power.
But the same can't be said with Britannia, though they had received some requests in some Areas, they were not well received by the government of that nation. They had viewed them as criminals, outlaws, terrorists, or killers. Sometime they had tried to capture them by setting traps using the clients, but somehow, they manage to escape from their grasps, it was as if they were ghosts.
Right now in the command center, Alligator was inspecting the mission requests on a giant table while there's a giant screen in front of him with many security cameras being supervised by several operators. He's handling the base pretty well like Miller does.
*Ring*Ring*
Alligators communicator ringed, he turned it on and heard who it was.
"Sup Alligator, it's Miller." Greeted Miller.
"Good day sir!" Saluted Alligator.
" How is Mother Base?" Asked Miller
"We are having one hell of jobs commander! " Said Alligator with an excited tone.
"How's the result?" Asked Miller again.
"It's overwhelming Sir! We've received many resources that can improve our forces, and we gained new recruits!" Said Alligator happily.
"That's splendid Alligator! What's the story about these new recruits?" asked Miller with interest.
"There are 3 groups of recruits; the first group is from the E.U, a German war engineer who can be perfect for the R&D team. 10 French soldiers, 3 commanders and 7 soldiers to be exact, they left their country when they found out that the politics are corrupts and 3 informers for the Intel team, one English, one Spanish and one Portuguese"
"Hmm, interesting" Said Miller with an amused tone
"The second group is from the Chinese Federation, 15 high ranked Chinese, Koreans, and Taiwanese soldiers, they've faced a lot of challenge during their war time, they'll surely going to be useful. 3 Indian researchers, these ones I must say, are extremely creative, they will bust R&D teams to a whole new level! And finally 5 Mongolian's cookers, they might not be able to fight, but they know how to make delicious foods"
"Hmn, not bad"
"And the third groups is surprisingly Britannians"
"Britannians? What did you find out?" Said Miller suspiciously, there was a possibility of infiltration or worst.
"Well sir, we got 10 Britannian soldiers, they said that Britannian system was wrong and opposed to it, they were excommunicated by the government and left their homelands. When they heard about the mercenary nation, they came and requested to join our army."
"Keep an eye on them, the last thing we need are enemies spying us" Said Miller with a serious tone.
"Don't worry sir, I've got them well watched on the screens."
"Well I must say I'm impressed, you did a great job" Said Miller with an amazed tone, he never thought they would gain so many good recruits.
"Thank you sir, how is it going in Japan?" Asked Alligator.
"We might be back in 2 days; there are some things left to do with our client" Said Miller
"Ok Sir, we will be ready for you return" Finished Alligator and turned it off. He turned around and stared at the security cameras, on the left upper side of the cameras he stared at the new recruits walking out the living quarters, especially at the Britannian soldiers, he's going to make sure that they're not here to sabotage or leak any important info about his home.
…
Outside of the Living Quarters
…
The new recruits exited the living quarters after unpacking their stuffs. There were 35 soldiers, the mentioned Chinese, Koreans, Taiwanese, Britannian and French soldiers. They were heading to the shooting range where they're going to be welcomed by the MSF soldiers.
No one spoke to each other as most of them still holds grudge against other soldiers from other countries.
Several minutes have passed and they finally arrived to the shooting range, they were amazed at how spacious was the room.
"This place is gigantic!" Spoke the French soldier #1
"Your right! It's going to be perfect for my shooting practice! " Expressed the French soldier #2.
"Not to mention that the place looks sophisticated!" Said the French soldier #3 excitedly.
"Don't forget that the food is great!" Added the French soldier #4
Several Britannian soldiers were getting annoyed from these conversations.
"This is a paradise! I can't wait to meet the man who founded this place!" Said again the French soldier #5.
"When i…"
"Shut up already!" Barked the Britannian soldier #1 interrupting the French soldier #5. The 5 French glared at him.
"Hey hey, you've got a problem?" said the French soldier #3 angrily.
"As a matter of fact I do! You Europeans think are so cheerful and happy than other people. Not to mention that you guys express everything you see, it's very annoying! " Said the Britannian soldier #1 with an annoyed tone.
"So what? Why do you care?" Said the French soldier #3 entering the discussion.
"I wasn't talking to you idiot!" Yelled the Britannian soldier #1.
"Show some respect Britannian!" Entered the French soldier #6.
"Or what? Lowly European?" Entered the Britannian soldier #3.
"What your mouth Britannian!" Entered the French soldier #2.
While this happened, 3 Chinese soldiers came to stop the fight.
"Calm down gentlemen, there is no need to fight" Said the Chinese soldier #1
"Stay out of this Chinese!" Barked the Britannian soldier #1
"At least these Chinese are cooperating peacefully!" Spoke the French soldier #7 to the Britannian soldier #1.
"Why you!" the Britannian soldier # 1 formed his left hand into a fist and punched the French soldier # 7. This prompted the French soldier #5 to charge at him. He grabbed his body and both fell to the ground while struggling.
"You little bastard!" Said the Britannian soldier # 2 as he punched the French soldier #3 in the face.
With this, all the parties started to fight each other, the Chinese, Koreans and Taiwanese soldiers entered the fight trying to break it. The French soldiers joined the brawl to defend their comrades, the Britannian soldiers entered the fight for the same thing.
*BANG!*
A shooting was sounded stopping the brawl.
"That's quite enough gentlemen!" Spoke a rough voice behind them. They all turned around to see 10 MSF soldier while in front of them stood a MSF soldier with the gun. (You might know him as the instructor from Peace Walker tutorial)
"We've come here to greet you with open arms and this is what we get? A senseless brawl?!" Spat out the MSF instructor with disgust.
"But it was him who started it!" Replied the French soldier #10 while pointing at the Britannian soldier #1.
"It was you guys who started it with your annoying conversations!" Retorted the Britannian soldier #5
They were going to argue until the instructor interrupted them.
"Enough!" Shouted the instructor which immediately ended the argument between the recruits.
"It doesn't matter who started it! In this place we don't tolerate this kind of conflict, it's foolish and useless! If you guys are going to stay here, you either cooperate with each other or you leave this place!"
Somehow the 2 soldiers started to reflection about what he said, as well as the rest.
"The reason this nation is formed is for all of us to coexist with each other. The founder of this mercenary nation said it, it doesn't matter your race, your religion, your philosophy or your ideology because we don't discriminate!"
The MSF soldiers removed their balaclava revealing their faces. They were all different: they all have Africans, Asians, Europeans and "Britannians" features.
"Take a look at them, we were once mortal enemies, but ever since we joined MSF our hatred disappeared and from then we took care of each other's back." Said the MSF instructor pointing at the MSF soldiers.
"Our founder Big Boss created Outer Heaven for us, soldiers who have forsaken their countries, soldiers who have nowhere to go and soldiers shunned by their nation. He gave us something we have long wanted: home, family, friends… comrades."
This speech touched the hearts of the recruits. Especially the Britannian soldiers that felt bad about this, they remember the day they left everything behind: their identities, belongings, or someone who were special for them. The Britannian soldier #1 came near to the French soldiers and said…
"Sorry for insulting you, guys. I shouldn't have said that" Apologized the Britannian soldier #1. Amazingly, the French soldier #5 put a hand on his shoulder and said "Hey no hard feelings man! We make mistakes sometimes"
"It won't happen again right?" Said the French soldier #4 with a reassuring tone.
"Yeah! I hope in a future we can help each other!" Said happily the French soldier #1 to the Britannian, Chinese, Korean and Taiwanese soldiers.
Every single recruit started to get along with each other; this caused the MSF soldiers to smile warmly. It is the start of a new friendship.
…
In Tokyo Settlement, mid-day
…
Big Boss, Ocelot, and 2 MSF soldiers were walking on the streets of Tokyo settlement; Big Boss was wearing the tuxedo with a sunglass since his face could be recognizable when he revealed himself 2 weeks ago. That also means good bye to his fake I.D. and his presence in any Britannian land. He should have returned to Mother Base weeks ago, but Veg told him that he needs to stay 2 more days for several jobs.
Right now they're on their way to a secret temporary base they established 3 days ago, where Miller and the rest of the MSF soldiers are currently operating it. It was a small gray building with 3 floors located in an area close to a school or academy called Ashford Academy. This was the only building they've managed to find since there aren't any buildings to hide; the idea of hiding in ghettos was out of question.
Ocelot, and the 2 MSF soldiers wore the same outfit when they first arrived. They were following Big Boss and were acting normal like Britannian citizens, though some people felt uncomfortable because of how intimidating they looked.
They reached to an intersection where the traffic light is in red colors. They stopped their tracks and waited for the light to turn green.
"Boss look at that" Whispered Ocelot while pointing to the left side of the pavement, Big Boss and the rest turned to the left to see what Ocelot noticed.
They saw several kids crossing the road playfully wearing capes and some of them wore an eye patch on their right eye, just like his.
Big Boss felt surprised at this, he never thought that he would be so idolized in this world, sure he is famous among soldiers or any other adults, but with kids? That's new.
The kids started to cheer playfully and ran straight to a park which coincidentally is the place where they are going.
…
Scene change
…
Kallen was walking mid-day in a park while she was thinking about all the events that have passed these days.
"Ever since our grand appearance during the hoteljacking incident, the world's attention has been on the Order of the Black Knights." The scene change to a train station with posters about criminals or terrorist WANTED, while many citizens are looking at the newspaper.
The Order of the Black Knights, based on Zero's proclamation, are allies of the weak. We've taken out those who can't be punished by law. " The scene changes to a building under construction where there is a man using the helmet as a mask and a cape mimicking Zero's movement while other workers were clapping at his performance, the scene switches to a park whereKallen is walking and looking around her surroundings. Then she saw kids running through the park with capes that resembles of Zero. She let out a small smile after seeing it.
But we are not the only one who gained a lot of attention…" then she noticed some of the kids wearing eye patches on their right eye.
"Militaires Sans Frontiéres or Outer Heaven… that's the name of the organization that are currently fighting for anyone. There were news about them all over the world, they changed the tides in the war between Britannia and E.U. Among their works: they performed assassinations, protection, steal money from politicians, etc."
The kids picked up wooden sticks from the ground and started to battle each other.
"What amazed the most about this mercenary band is the One Eyed Man. Big Boss, the man who appeared on the roof of Kawaguchi and presented his mercenary nation to the world. His ideology is similar to Zero's but it was more focused on soldiers than civilians. He looked slightly like a Britannian, but there is a feeling that makes me think he is more than that, but I can't figure out what it is." She kept staring at the children playing with the wooden sticks.
" I don't think they present any threat to our organization. For what I can see, Britannia won't hire them, heh stupid Britannia and their pride" Kallen mentally smirked at that part, she knows that Britannia is too proud of itself that they won't use them.
"I don't know their intention, but I'm sure on one thing; Britannia is losing" She thought confidently, the E.U are too busy fighting with Britannia, the Chinese Federation have no qualms with Japan, and the Japanese resistance are slowly joining the Black Knights.
One child ran again through the park but was suddenly stopped by a woman, most likely his mother.
"Stop this nonsense of Order of the Black Knights and remove that eye patch!" yelled the woman.
"But mom!" complained the child.
"We are Elevens we shouldn't say anything bad about Britannia!" Kallen's face saddened a little seeing that the Japanese people are still being submitted by Britannia.
"No matter what happens, we will keep fighting" Thought Kallen before she accidentally hit someone.
"I'm sorry!" She quickly apologized with her soft tone. She raised her face to see that she bumped into a man who wears a tuxedo with a pair of sunglass accompanied with a group of intimidating men; she prepared herself in case they were robbers or assailants.
The man with tuxedo let out a small smile and said "It's alright"
Big Boss and the rest walked past her as she stared at them, she was sure he looked familiar so she decided to ask.
"Hmm, excuse me" Spoke Kallen softly, Big Boss and the rest turned around to face her.
"What is it?" Asked Big Boss.
"Do I know you from somewhere?" Asked Kallen, she has the sensation that she saw him before.
"No, I think you mistook me with some else" Responded Big Boss with a small smile.
Kallen slightly chuckled with embarrassment as she put her hand on the back of her head, "I think you are right, my apology " Said Kallen nicely as she left the park, but still she was sure that she saw him before.
"That was close Boss" Spoke Ocelot walking closer to Big Boss.
"Let's go to the base quickly before anyone else recognizes me" Said Big Boss as they started to move on.
…
Meanwhile in Ashford Academy
…
Inside the student council, Lelouch and Suzaku were busy doing their stuff. Lelouch was reading the news on a magazine and Suzaku was accommodating Arthur's cat house.
"Crying over a situation like that is embarrassing, isn't it?" Said Lelouch implying about the cry of joy from Suzaku during Milly's strange cat fetish costume for Arthur's party.
"Just call me sentimental, UHG!" Replied Suzaku as he was bit on the finger by Arthur.
"But it's nice that everyone got rescued by those people from the Order of the Black Knights." Said Lelouch until there were several seconds of silence which made him feel suspicious.
"Actually, I'm not really concerned on Zero's activities right now." Said Suzaku which caused Lelouch to raise an eyebrow curiously.
"Uhm?"
"My main concern is not Zero and his members, but Militaires Sans Frontiéres" stated Suzaku. Lelouch started to get more interested in this conversation.
"You are talking about the Mercenary nation" Said Lelouch in a matter of fact.
"They appeared right after Zero proclaimed that they fight for the weak people." Said Suzaku.
"I know I still remember when they appeared on the TV's, it was quite shocking" Said Lelouch, hiding the fact that he was present during their debut.
"They are causing trouble to Britannia. In other nation, some people see them as saviors, but Britannians sees them as terrorists, they may be worse than the Order of the Black Knights and they must be stopped."
"I know what you mean, their services are hired from everywhere and it's not in Britannia's favor." Said Lelouch. He was not unhappy when Big Boss stole his scenario to gain support, though he gained more attention than he did, he still received more supports from Japanese's or in rare cases Britannians. He found the situation to be quite advantageous because all the focus would be on them. He will have a lot of time to reorganize the Black Knights and prepare the recruits.
"What are your thoughts about them?" Asked Suzaku.
"Well, the ideology of the founder; Big Boss, said that soldiers are not the tools of the governments and that are valued more than anything, caught my attention. After all, Britannia doesn't care about soldiers' lives." Suzaku suddenly had a flashback about the incident in Shinjuku where he was shot in the back by a commander. He shook those thoughts and spoke.
When Lelouch expressed his thoughts about Big Boss, it came to his mind that he felt he met him before, but he can't figure out how or when.
"But still, Britannia can change; there is no need for a nation filled of traitors and deserters, they could have just sent a notification about the mistreatment of soldiers and everything would have solved" Said Suzaku still believing that Britannia can change.
Suddenly the main door opened as Shirley entered.
"Oh it's just you two?" Said Shirley as she entered the room. Suzaku stood up and said "Well, I need to return to the army."
"Bye Shirley" Dismissed Suzaku as he went out.
"Ok Bye"
After Suzaku left, the only one inside the room is Lelouch. While Lelouch was thinking about the current events, Shirley was struggling to tell Lelouch to go out with her.
…
In unknown research facility in somewhere of Area 11
…
In a research facility of Area 11, Cecil and Lloyd were currently working on improvements on the Knightmare Frame. They were being pushed hard on making new advances for the Britannia army, Lloyd is the one who is working very hard since MSF beat his dream of Flying Knightmares, now he is creating an improved flying system that doesn't need rocket.
"Lloyd, how much longer are you going to keep working on the float system?" Asked Cecil with a concerned tone, Lloyd was working like a crazy ever since he saw the flying Knightmares.
"I have to finish this! I must surpass those pirates flying system" Replied Lloyd with anger.
Cecil could only sigh as she continued to work on Lloyd's project. Everything seemed to be normal until…
*bang*bang*bang*
*traaatatatatata*
They heard gunshots behind the metallic door. Cecile and Lloyd felt alarmed at this.
"What is happening outside?" Said Cecile frightened.
" Quickly! We must get out of here!" Said Lloyd with a desperate tone.
"But Lloyd! That door is the only exit!" Said Cecile pointing at the metallic door.
"Find another way out!" Said Lloyd quickly.
Then they heard banging sounds on the metallic door.
"My god! Their breaking in!" Said Cecile frightened.
"Don't worry! That door is strong enough to withstand a rocket launcher!" Assured Lloyd while searching an exit.
They heard gunshots again, most likely trying to enter through force. They had time to look for an exit but there was practically nowhere to escape.
There was a moment of silence when suddenly…
*Boom!*
Cecile and Lloyd covered themselves from the explosion coming from the main door. Lloyd was shocked because that door WAS supposed to withstand against a rocket launcher. Unless the hostiles used some sort of powerful explosives.
From the smoke, the supposed assailants entered with their weapons aiming at them. Cecile and Lloyd quickly recognized the assailants; it was none other than the Militaire Sans Frontiéres.
"You two, hands up!" Ordered the MSF soldier in which they quickly raised their hands. Behind the soldiers, someone emerged.
It was a man with a slight European features, he has gray hair, a white growing mustache, a brown coat with a scarf, red gloves and shoes with a star coming out of the heels.
Ocelot took a look around the facility, it was big chamber with many computers, and then he saw the 2 Britannian scientists. There was nothing unusual about them so he decided to ignore them for now. He kept looking until he found what he was ordered to find: A terminal with designs of Knightmares on the screen.
"Hmm, so this is the info about the new improvements on Knightmares huh?" Said Ocelot while staring at the terminal with his hand on his chin.
"NO! Don't you dare steal my work!" Shouted Lloyd taking a step forward confronting him. Ocelot turned around to look at him.
"Oh? Are you going to stop me?" taunted Ocelot.
Lloyd couldn't do anything but gulp nervously; he was so focused on his works that he forgot he was surrounded by armed soldiers.
Ocelot drew out his revolver and pointed at him which made him and Cecile gasp.
"You know what? Let's play a little game, let's play Russian roulette" Said Ocelot as he opened the chamber of the revolver and dropped all the bullets, leaving one in it.
"Pass me another 2 revolver guys!" Ordered Ocelot, they handed him 2 revolvers and he removed the bullets too leaving only 1.
"This is my own Russian roulette, each revolver holds 6 bullets, I'm gonna shoot 15 times and if there's no bullets coming out, you live" Instructed Ocelot as Lloyd started to sweet on his face.
Ocelot threw one of the 3 revolvers, then another and followed by another, at this moment he was juggling with the 3 revolvers.
Lloyd looked at the man juggling the 3 revolvers nervously.
Ocelot caught one and shot it, which nothing came out, but made Lloyd recoil "Ah"
Ocelot caught another revolver and shot, making Lloyd recoil again "Aaah"
Ocelot grabbed another revolver and shot again, still no bullets came out but it made Lloyd fall to the ground scared "AAH!"
Cecil watched in horror at Lloyd's fate. There's no telling what moment the bullets would come out.
Ocelot grabbed another one and shot again, Lloyd started to get desperate in fear. "Aaah!"
Ocelot grabbed another and shot, "Aaaaah!" screamed Lloyd like a girl.
Ocelot grabbed yet another and shot again, and still no bullets "Giaaah!" Lloyd started to freak out.
Ocelot grabbed another one and shot, and yet no bullet came out, "Nooo!"Cried Lloyd as he pissed in his pants wetting the floor.
"Would you look at that? We are half way there, and still no bullets, feeling lucky?" Said Ocelot amusingly.
But when Ocelot was about to get another revolver, a very familiar deep female voice stopped him.
"STOP!" Yelled Cecile unable to contain much longer her anxiety.
Ocelot froze in that instant letting the revolvers fall to the ground, he recognized that voice from anywhere. It was the voice of the hero of World War 2 and the mother of the Special Forces Cobra: The Boss.
The MSF soldiers raised their weapons and aimed at her which caused her to gasp in horror.
But Ocelot raised his hand and motioned them to stay down. The MSF soldiers complied and lowered their weapons. Ocelot picked up one of the revolvers on the floor and stared at the woman.
Ocelot inspected her; she looks to be in her 20s, she has blue eyes, blue hair, thin body, wearing an orange uniform with a green tie, orange skirt and a pair of large black boots. She looked rather soft despite the fact she sounded just like the heroine of WW2.
"Who are you?" Questioned Ocelot.
"Huh?" gasped Cecile in confusion.
"I'm gonna ask you again, who are you?" Repeated Ocelot with a serious tone while he raised his revolver and pointed it at her.
"Cecile, Cecile Groomy" Said Cecile with a frightened tone. Ocelot raised an eyebrow. After several seconds, Ocelot retracted his revolver and put it back to his holster.
Ocelot swung his right arm and said "Retrieve the documents, were leaving now"
"Yes sir!" said the soldiers as they proceeded to extract the data's via USB. Ocelot picked up the rest of the revolvers on the floor and putted it back to his holsters.
Then he turned to glance at Lloyd and said "You're lucky that I've let you live, because of that woman. But the next time we meet, you won't be lucky." Then the sound of beep came from the terminal indicating that the extraction was complete.
"We got it sir"
Lloyd looked anxiously at how they are stealing his work. Ocelot made a small grin and said "Till we meet again" and then he turned his gaze to Cecile. He made something unexpected; he winked his right eye at her and they left through the door.
Cecile was confused, what interest does this man have with herself?
…
In a bar
…
In a bar, the "pure blood" Britannian Jeremiah Gottwald and his comrade Villetta Nu were having a drink after a long day of work. It wasn't easy for them these past 2 weeks, they had to chase and if possible, capture the mercenary soldiers of MSF. So far, their mission is a failure, because no matter how much they go after them, they're impossible to be caught.
"Buah" Sighed Jeremiah as he took a sip from his drink.
"Are you alright, sir?" Spoke Villetta.
"Yeah, just a little tired" Said Jeremiah with a tired tone.
"With all these Militaires Sans Frontiéres causing trouble in our beloved country and escaping whenever we try to catch them, it's exhausting"
"I wonder why our highest superiors hadn't found the existence of this organization before" Said Villetta.
"And those bizarre flying machines, I hadn't seen anything like this before" She can still remember the news she saw 2 weeks ago, the man called "Big Boss" appeared on top of the Kawaguchi hotel with these flying machines, several helicopters and on top of it, Knightmares equipped with some kind of jet pack.
"Beats me, but as long as I can breathe, I'm going to kill those bastards for shaming our Britannia" Said Jeremiah angrily remembering that Britannia has been getting weak after their appearance. If this continues, Britannia will be stripped from its status as one of the 3 superpowers of the world. Not to mention the most powerful superpower of the other 2.
"There is another issue I want to discuss" Said Villetta changing the subject.
"What is it?" asked Jeremiah.
"Its concerning the Orange Incident…" Said Villetta which made Jeremiah to slightly recoil.
"Pardon me" Apologized Villetta as she noticed that it may have offended him.
"Concerning the Kururugi Suzaku escape incident, is it true that you have no recollection of that time?" Asked Villetta changing the name of the incident.
"I don't expect you to believe me" Said Jeremiah.
"No, the truth is that during the Shinjuku incident, I also experienced memory loss"
"What?" Said Jeremiah surprised.
"When I regained consciousness, my Sutherland had been stolen. The only thing that I can recall happening before the memory loss was meeting a young man in a school uniform."
"What happened to that student?" Asked Jeremiah getting now interested.
"I don't remember his face, but I think this is worth investigating" concluded Villetta, this mystery has been bugging her since the Shinjuku Incident, she thought that maybe this might be a clue about all these disarrays.
…
Hours later, in the hidden base
…
Ocelot and the MSF soldiers entered the base as the MSF soldiers handed over the data's retrieved hours ago. Ocelot just kept walking to meet Big Boss who is inside a room.
"Hey Boss!" Spoke Ocelot as he knocked the door.
"Come in!" Said Big Boss. Ocelot opened the door and entered seeing that Big Boss was sitting on a chair with a desk in front of him, he had his feet on the desk with the chair tilting back allowing to Big Boss to feel comfortable and he has a cigar on his mouth.
"So? How did the mission went?" Asked Big Boss as he removed the cigar to expel the smoke.
"It went well Boss, we retrieved the data's that would improve our Knightmares, the scientist was pretty pissed that we stole his work." Said Ocelot
"Too bad that it's us who will finish his work" Said Big Boss.
"Also Boss, there is something you want to know" Added Ocelot. Big Boss moved the chair forward to face him.
"What is it?" Asked Big Boss.
"You might find this hard to believed" Said Ocelot as he drew out a recorder. Big Boss wondered what Ocelot has recorded.
Ocelot pressed the start button and it started the recording.
"NO! Don't you dare steal my work!" shouted a male voice "Oh? Are you going to stop me?" said a voice which is ocelot." You know what? Let's play a little game, let's play Russian roulette" seconds later "Pass me another 2 revolver guys!" he sound of someone drawing out something was heard "This is my own Russian roulette, each revolver holds 6 bullets, I'm gonna shoot 15 times and if there's no bullets coming out, you live"
Then there was consecutive noise of clicks and "Aah" sounds. While this happened Big Boss asked.
"Is this what you wanted to show me? A man shrieking like a girl?" this made Ocelot to chuckle amusingly.
"No Boss, it's this…" Said Ocelot now with a serious face, then the moment happened.
"STOP!" Shouted a strong yet familiar female voice.
"That's…!" Said Big Boss in shock since that strong voice sounded just like The Boss.
"I know Boss that caught me by surprise too" Said Ocelot.
"But that's impossible!" Said Big Boss with a shocking tone, it was like the Barranquilla Coast all over again.
"Are you sure it wasn't a robot voice?" Said Big Boss remembering the mammal pod.
"No Boss, it wasn't" Said Ocelot as he kept playing the recording.
"Who are you?" Said the voice of Ocelot, "Huh?" "I said, who are you?" said Ocelot again with a threatening tone along with a sound of click, "Cecile, Cecile Groomy" Said the supposed voice of The Boss with a scared tone.
"What the hell?" Said Big Boss in disbelief.
"You think we might have met the counterpart of The Boss?"
"Hmm" Started to think Big Boss, he was then interrupted by the noise of his radio.
*ring*ring*
Ocelot stopped the recording allowing Big Boss to answer the call.
"Hi, Big Boss! How is it going?" Spoke the voice of Veg.
"Veg? What do you want?" Asked Big Boss.
"I have one more mission for you" Said Veg. Big Boss slightly sighed at this.
"What's the next mission?"
"You need to destroy the Drug Factory of Refrain located in Tokyo Bay, go there at 6 o´clock, it will be better. Later make contact with one of our potential ally"
"Our potential ally? Spit it out already, who is it?"
"Sorry that would ruin the surprise" Said Veg cheerully. This made Big Boss to sigh with irritation.
"Better be worth it"
"Oh don't worry, it will be worthy" Said Veg as the communication was turned off.
"Who was it Boss? "Asked Ocelot.
"It was our client Veg Linxing" Said Big Boss.
"I gotta say, I don't think we should trust him" Said Ocelot.
"We don't have a choice; he is the only one who knows the people that transported us into this alternate universe."
"This feels almost like blackmail if you ask me." Said Ocelot as a matter of fact. "So what did he say?"
"There is one more factory we have to destroy" Informed Big Boss.
"Miller isn't gonna like this, he has some sort of grudge againts the drug Refrain."
"I don't blame him; he had lost his mother when he was young, hell worse when she forgot who was" Said Big Boss remembering the cassette tape he heard it from.
"It's tough, but nonetheless, he became stronger, more when he joined you" Remarked Ocelot remembering the history file he read and the cassette tapes.
"I forgot to mention one more thing. Our client said that we have to make contact with one potential ally" Said Big Boss.
"Ally, uh? Sounds interesting"
"We better prepare ourselves, it's going to be a long night" Said Big Boss as he got off from his chair and started to suit himself.
...
Night time
…
In the Tokyo Bay, Big Boss, Miller, and the 6 MSF soldiers: Dorado, Donkey, Mandrill, Fly, Penguin and Parrot, were running through a large road with many warehouses, they quietly ran through the road with Big Boss leading the way, he suddenly stopped prompting them to stop as well. He stick on the wall of the warehouse and peeked. He saw two guards talking with each other about unimportant stuffs.
Big Boss turned around and motioned two MSF soldiers to shoot the guards.
Penguin and Parrot volunteered to be the ones to sedate the guards. They walked closer to the edge of the wall and slightly peeked. They saw that the two guards are still talking. They drew out their Mk.22 and aimed at their heads.
*Psh*Psh*
The darts hit the head of the guards which made them fall to the ground.
"Now" Said Big Boss quietly. Big Boss and the rest ran straight reaching to a giant warehouse which is where the factory drug lies.
They went to the walls of the warehouse and prepared the grapple hook attached underneath the Mk.22.
They pointed to the roof of the warehouse and shot.
All the grapple hooks attached to the roof, they pressed a button from the gun which made them propel themselves into the roof. When they arrived, Big Boss was the first to peek the window on the floor of the roof. He saw the workers preparing and packing the drug. Once would think he would just gun down the place like that other night, but this time he decided to do something different. His plan would be planting several C4 on the volatile places such as fuel or gas.
The MSF soldiers carefully checked the roofs in case there's someone.
"Boss, all clear" Whispered Fly to Big Boss. Big Boss decided to go to the rear of the warehouse to check something.
When he got there, he saw what he wanted: a pair of large windows.
"Fwwwwiisssh" Whistled Big Boss to gain the attention of the soldiers. Once their attention is on him, he motioned them to take out a rope and tie it on a metallic pole.
The MSF soldiers took out a large rope and tied it real hard on the metallic pole.
Big Boss went to the rear of the warehouse, held tight the rope and descended down of the rear. Slowly he reached the window and saw that it has a lock. He took out a pair of small metallic clips and started to pick lock.
*Click*
The sound of the lock unlocking was heard. Big Boss slowly and carefully moved the window which it opened horizontally.
Big Boss used his thermal goggle to see if there were any sight of guards, he saw several heat sources in the North West direction, but the way they moved didn't look like guards type. He raised his head and motioned with his right hand to his soldiers to get down.
Big Boss entered first, he landed on what it seems the roof of a giant metallic shelve of the warehouse, he drew out his Mk22 and stood guard in front of the window. The place he entered through the window was a spacious storeroom. It was dark but that wasn't a problem because they have thermal goggles.
Once the MSF soldiers entered, they started to implant the C4. After planting several C4's, they heard something… like laughing sounds.
"Ahahahaha"
They quickly drew out their weapons be a pistol or assault rifle. Big Boss, who has the thermal goggles on, looked around in search of that laughing sound. All he could get was the heat source he ignored earlier. Using the giant shelf roof as the road he took a step forward and turned his head to the soldiers.
"Over there" Whispered Big Boss. Miller and the MSF soldiers turned around to see Big Boss facing the North West direction.
Big Boss went straight of the roof with Miller and the MSF soldiers following him.
When they reached their destination they saw the figures moving in a rather strange way. Big Boss decided to do something risky; he motioned his soldiers to put on the suppressors on their guns while he took out his flashlight. Since the door is closed and there were no sign of the enemy, Big Boss decided to use it and illuminated at the figures.
What they saw was somewhat disturbing.
In front of them they saw Japanese people doing strange stuffs like cheering, yelling, howling and saying stuffs that might make no sense. It was as if they were inside a mental hospital.
"What the hell?" Said Mandrill in shock.
"What is wrong with these people?" Said Donkey in disbelief since this is the first time he ever experience something like this.
"It must be the Refrain drug" Guessed Penguin.
"Refrain…" Said Miller angrily.
"What's the plan Boss?" Asked Fly to Big Boss. He started to think about what to do with these civilians, but after inspecting them closely, they seemed to be too unstable.
"There's nothing we can do for them" Said Big Boss.
Suddenly, gunshots were heard coming from the main gate of the warehouse. They quickly laid down on the and aimed at the gate in case there were enemies.
Abruptly, the main gate was trespass by a giant red Knightmare Frame Glasgow. They readied their weapons to attack it, but Big Boss stopped them. They saw that the red Glasgow didn't do anything when it saw the unstable Japanese's, whoever was piloting that red Glasgow must be shocked too.
Suddenly one of the unstable Japanese's, a woman, tripped with something and fell. But surprisingly the red Glasgow caught and held her on its hand.
"I guess that pilot is a good heart pilot" Remarked Miller seeing that the red Glasgow shown no qualms with the Japanese's. He thought that maybe it was because the pilot is a Japanese or a good Britannian.
Suddenly, bullets appeared from its right side destroying its right arm.
They all turned to the direction of the bullets and saw who did it. It was a Knight Police pointing its gun at the red Glasgow.
The red Glasgow activated its landspinner with the woman on its hand while being chased by the Knightmare Police.
"What the hell is wrong with that Knightmare Police? Can´t it see it has a woman on its hand?!" Said Miller outraged. A part of his old self from the time he first met Big Boss resurfaced. Therefore, he went after the Knightmare Police, while Big Boss and the MSF soldiers shouted at him.
"Kaz wait!"
"Commander Miller!"
Leaving no choice they went after him before things gets out of control.
Meanwhile, Miller was running on the roof of giant shelves in order to stop that Knight police from injuring that woman and possibly the good hearted pilot. He ended up in an intersection that leads to the left, fortunately is where the red Glasgow went with the Knight Police chasing it.
The red Glasgow turned to the left while shooting at the Knight Police from the cockpit, unfortunately the Knight Police destroyed the gun from the cockpit leaving it defenseless.
Miller ran as fast as he could, but obviously the KF´s were faster than him. He tried to locate them using the x ray goggles. He saw the red Glasgow turning to the left side of the giant shelves with the Knight Police on its tail in the North East side of the storeroom, he saw that it was about to toss the woman away much to his shock. But after seeing more its action, it looked like it was hesitating.
Suddenly the red Glasgow's legs got destroyed by the bullets of the Knight Police. The red Glasgow fell to the ground with its body covering the defenseless woman.
"I've got to hurry!" Said Miller to himself as he started to run again. As he quickly hurried, a small flashback appeared in his mind in the time when he met Big Boss.
"We Japanese will never be beaten again! We will do whatever it takes to complete our objectives!" His own voice echoed inside his head remembering how he tried to do a kamikaze on Big Boss.
After that small flashback disappeared, he was now back in the present. He changed the mode of his gun into the grapple hooks. He aimed to the farthest shelve to the North West and shot the grapple hooks.
While this was happening, Big Boss and the MSF soldiers went after him using the roof of the giant shelves to get there faster.
Zero and the rest arrived to where Kallen's Knightmare fell; they saw that it was lying on the floor protecting a woman while being gunned down by the Knight Police.
"If my enemy is a Knightmare, then I can't use my geass" Thought Lelouch with frustration.
The Knight police stopped his gun and started to get near ready to execute her. It held her down and drew out a giant knife and was about to stab her until…
"HEY!" Shouted a voice behind the Knight Police gaining the attention of Zero's group and Kallen.
The Knight Police and the Black Knights managed to see who was behind.
There stood a blonde man with a military outfit with a yellow scarf and a pair of sunglass, he was holding something that looked like a grenade launcher.
"What?" Said Kallen with a surprised tone.
"EAT THIS!" Yelled Miller as he shot the Walther Kampfpistole on the Knight Police.
The grenade, mixed with the basic elements of the Kampfpistole grenade and ¼ of Sakuradite, directly hit the Knight Police creating a big explosion enough to destroy it.
*Boom!*
Zero and the Black Knights covered themselves from the explosion, after that they saw in shock that the Knight Police was completely obliterated with such "grenade launcher"
"Who the hell are you?!" Shouted Tamaki with his gun pointing at him.
Kallen was in astonishment, at first she was about to get killed by the Knight Police, but then a man appeared and practically saved her. She tried to move the head of the Glasgow to see who it was, when she managed to do it, her eyes widened in recognition. In front of her was Kazuhira Miller, the man she met during the Kawaguchi incident.
"Wait he saved Kallen!" stopped Ohgi
"Kallen?" Thought Miller when he remembered, it was the same girl he met 2 weeks ago.
Miller couldn't do anything but smirk "Looks like our path crossed"
Seconds later, footsteps were heard from the blonde man. Behind him appeared 6 soldiers with assault rifles pointing at them.
"Looks like he's not alone!" Said Inou with her gun ready. Then she saw that Ohgi's eyes widened in shock. "Whats wrong, Ohgi?"
"Those soldiers, I know them!" Shouted Ohgi. They all looked closely and they also widened in shock, except Zero, as the soldiers were quite recognizable.
"Its…" Said Minami.
"MIlitaires Sans Frontieres" Finished Zero as the MSF soldiers went to Millers side with their guns ready to fire at the Black Knights.
The Black Knights were ready to face the super powerful soldiers almost in fear as if they were going to face the princess Cornelia until a voice stopped everyone.
"Stop!" Shouted a rough voice behind the MSF soldiers prompting both sides to lower down their weapons in confusion.
Behind the MFS soldiers emerged Big Boss as he looked at the Black Knights.
"It's their leader Big Boss!" Expressed Ohgi.
"We should retreat Zero!" Said Sugimiya to Zero. But Lelouch didn't order the retreat, in fact, he walked forward to where Big Boss is.
"Zero what are yo…!" Shouted Tamaki in disbelief seeing that his leader is going to face those monsters, but was stopped by Ohgi.
"Wait Tamaki, I think Zero knows what he is doing"
"Can't you see who that is?! That's Big Boss! The founder of the mercenary nation Militaires Sans Frontieres!" Said Tamaki as a matter of fact.
The MSF soldiers raised their guns in defense, but Big Boss put his hands on their guns while walking forward to where Zero is coming. He guessed that Zero might be the ally that Veg mentioned.
"So this is the famous vigilante Zero, we meet at last" Said Big Boss as he is about to meet Zero for the first time.
"Likewise, Big Boss" Spoke Zero smirking under his mask knowing the reputation of these soldiers.
"I must say, it's a surprise meeting you here, I have never thought I would meet the leader of Outer Heaven so soon." Said Zero with an amazed tone.
"Me too, so what does the leader of the Order of the Black Knights wants with me?" Asked Big Boss carefully not wanting to make a mistake. Suddenly Kallen came out of the cockpit which she landed on the ground and went to where her mother lays surprising the MSF soldiers with their guns ready, but Big Boss stopped them before they could do anything foolish.
"Kallen!" Yelled Ohgi wanting to go and help her with the other members about to follow him, but Zero raised his hand to stop them.
"Don't move, Kallen will be alright" Said Zero to Ohgi and his group. They all stood as Zero ordered.
"Don't worry, she is one of my soldiers, she is only taking care of her mother" Said Zero to Big Boss. When Kallen went to her mother's side, she saw more clearly the MSF soldiers and the man known as Big Boss in front of his leader Zero. Then she realized that the men she met in the afternoon was himself.
"Now where were we?" Ah yes, we were going to discuss about our current situation "Said Lelouch in an obvious tone.
"So, what it is that you want?" Asked Big Boss. Lelouch thought about what to do, he thought on 2 options; the first one is to have Outer Heaven join the Black Knights, should Outer Heaven and the Black Knights unite, they could destroy Britannia and create a free world for him and secretly his sister Nunnally. In addition, their ideology share a similarity, they both seek a world where people can be valued for what they are. The second option is that if they don't join him, he can at least make a contract with them, after all they are mercenaries, and therefore they are going to fight for whoever hires them. There was also the third option which is not having them in his side if the leader denies it.
"I want to propose something that can beneficiate both" Said Zero, this made Big Boss raise an eyebrow with curiosity.
"And what would that be?" Asked Big Boss. Zero offered his hand to Big Boss in a fancy way and said.
"Join us. If we combine our forces," he clenched his hand and continued "we will archive what this world has never done before: Freedom, a world where people can be free without fear of being oppressed, persecuted or discriminated."
This proposal caught the members of the Black Knights unguarded; some of them were excited if the mercenaries join them, while others were practically afraid of them.
Big Boss thought about Zero's proposal, he was actually tempted to accept the offer, but that is when he remembered why he created Outer Heaven. He created it to archive his dream of a land where soldiers are valued. Even though Zero's ideology share the same idea, his ideology is more towards the civilians, something that he is not interested at all.
"Sorry, Zero. Though our ideology shares the same philosophy, we've got our own goal." Spoke Big Boss to Zero. Lelouch's first option was discarded so he decided to use his 2nd option.
"Then how about this? I would like to hire you" Said Zero.
"If you've got enough money or ay valuable payment, we will fight for or with you" Said Big Boss his terms of hiring.
"I'll pay you whatever you want once I have completed my objective" Said Lelouch. Big Boss thought about this, it seemed to be a good deal, the leader would pay him with anything he wants in exchange of his service.
"You've got yourself a deal" with that the deal was done.
"You've better get out of here, because we're going to explode this place" Stated Big Boss to everyone.
"First let me get these Japanese out of here, I can save them" Said Zero.
"I'll give you 5 minutes to get them, better hurry." Said Big Boss as he started to leave with his soldiers behind him.
"Alright, everyone get those Japanese out of here!" Commanded Zero as they went to rescue the unstable Japaneses.
Just when Big Boss and his soldiers were going to leave, Miller spoke to Big Boss.
"Boss let me stay and help these people at least, I'll catch you guys later" Almost begged Miller.
"It's your old self right?" Asked Big Boss to Miller still remembering their first encounter. Miller responded him with a nod.
"Get back to the base when you finish the job" Said Big Boss as they left leaving Miller behind.
Miller went back to where Kallen and her mother lies.
While she was holding her mother in her hands, she saw a shadow covering her, she raised her head and saw none other than Kazuhira Miller.
"Its you, Kazuhira-san" Spoke Kallen in surprise.
"Nice to see you again, Kallen-san. Want a help?" Said Miller offering his help to Kallen.
"Yes please" Said Kallen accepting his help.
"Zero! I'm taking my mother to the hospital, Kazuhira-san will help me!" Said Kallen to Zero. He turned around to see Miller lifting her mother's left arm. When he raised her, for a moment they stared at each other. Zero nodded at him which he nodded back.
"Keep your allies close" Thought Zero, as having a good relationship and trust with your allies is the most important thing to keep your comrades close.
Unbeknownst to everyone, they were all witnessed by C.C on top of a giant shelve of the warehouse wondering what these Militaires Sans frontiere are really capable of.
…
Hospital

"It's the aftereffect of the drug. She can barely talk. It'll take time for her to recover" Informed the nurse to Kallen. Right now in the room was Kallen's mother, herself and Miller who is standing beside her looking at her mother too. There was no problem for him thanks to his false ID. Unlike Big Boss's ID that doesn't work at all after revealing himself. Once the nurse left, Kallen stared at the shocked state of her mother with a saddened face.
"It's my fault" Spoke Kallen with a guilty tone. Miller turned his head to face with a confused face
"Why?" Asked Miller.
"I have been treating her like a trash these 7 years; I've never realized that what she has done was for me to live a normal life." Said Kallen with sorrow. Miller started to feel bad for her, this situation feels just like his many years ago when he left his mother to search his father in America.
"You are wrong Kallen, there is still time to change. " Said Miller trying to support her.
"How? What do you know what I'm going through?" Said Kallen almost angrily. Miller sighed calmly as he sat beside her. Then he started to tell her his story.
"Many years ago when I was kid in Japan, I was a product of Britannian and Japanese breed. My mother was forced to work as a prostitute to raise money." This made Kallen look at him in shock, his case was worse than her,
"During her career, she met my father and thus I was born. But my life in Japan was a struggle; kids mocked me because of my light blue eyes and ash blonde hair and I couldn't get my Britannian citizenship because my father left my mother when I was born. But he was a kind man, he left some money for her to maintain herself. Therefore she set up a store selling cigarettes for soldiers." She continued to hear his story which made her regret what she had said earlier.
"When I was ten years old, my mother contracted an illness, so I was left in charge of the store. I so wanted to meet my father that I showed a picture of him to every soldier that came to the store, after so many retries, I was able to get an answer from one of his students. He was in Britannia so I sent many letters to them. Eventually I was accepted, I have done was selfish as I left my mother behind." He said in a regretful tone. Kallen started to feel bad for him.
"When I arrived I found my father, but he was in a depression state. I took his surname "Miller" So I could have my education. After my graduation, I returned to Japan to meet my mother, but when I met her, she had completely forgotten who I was caused by the disease contracted during her prostitution days" Said Miller which made Kallen see him in shock and horror, such thing was not durable for a human being.
"From that day I felt emptiness in my heart, everything I had done was selfish." Said Miller again in sorrow. Then he turned his face to Kallen who was having a sad face.
"But you… You are still young and you've got a whole life to live on. You lost your brother. But your mother is still alive, value her effort in everything she have done for you, I don't want you to experience what I had been through." Said Miller which was really comforting for her. Kallen left a tear drop from her right eye in a mix of sadness and happiness.
"I'm so sorry, I've never thought…" She tried to apologize for her previous outburst. Miller patted on her right shoulder and said.
"It's ok, what matters is that you've understood everything and never make the same mistake as I did"
"Thank you, Kazuhira-san" Thanked Kallen with a smile.
…
The next day, Ashford Academy.
…
It was another good day in Ashford academy despite the situation around the world like the actions of the "terrorist" Zero and Outer Heaven's business. The students arrived to their classroom waiting for their teacher to arrive.
The students started their day with excitement as they are going to have 2 new teachers. No one knows who the teachers are or what kind of class they are going to give, but it is said they're the best on whatever they're going to teach.
Suddenly, the door opened meaning that their usual teacher arrived.
"Good morning students! Before we start our class I have an announcement, as you know, we've got 2 new teachers enrolled today! I would like to present them to you now. So treat them good like us alright?"
"Yes professor!" Said the students happily while some where arguing who the new teachers are.
"I bet they are old men way past their fifties" Said a female student with a boring tone.
"Yeah, all the teachers we have are either old hags or geezers" Said another female student.
"Oh man, I just hope our new teachers are young ladies, all we got here are old men and women"
"If one of them is a young lady, I can dream about her every day!" Said a fat male student.
Then the professor opened the door for the new teachers to get in.
"Alright! You two can come in!" Said the teacher happily.
From the door, a wheeling sound was heard then a man sitting on a wheeling chair emerged. The chair kept rolling until it stopped in front of the blackboard, and then it turned around to present the students. They were surprised that their new teacher is a man confined on a chair. He was followed by a woman with gray hair and she was wearing a sunglass. The man was wearing a pair of glasses, with a long white elbow range shirt, a pair of light brown trousers and brown shoes. The woman was wearing a clothes with a long sleeved white shirt combined with a black leather cloth on the white shirt, a red tie, black pants and black shoes. (Strangelove's usual outfit)
"Good day students! My name is Huey Emmerich and from today I will be your physic teacher." Introduced Huey politely. Strangelove stepped forward to introduce herself too.
"My name is Vanessa Marshall and I'm going to be your new teacher on advanced math "Introduced Strangelove using her "other" name. The atmosphere between Strangelove and several female students were somewhat awkward for other students. Strangelove carefully inspected all the girls of the classroom. She must admit, all these girls were really beautiful in terms of skin, hair, face and body. Unconsciously, her face turned red a little.
"I never thought that these girls are so beautiful, prettier than Paz" Thought Strangelove.
While Strangelove was having her luxurious thoughts, some girls were whispering how beautiful their new teachers are.
"Don't you think our teacher Huey is handsome?"
"Handsome? He is hot!"
"I think I'm in love"
"And I thought it was going to be a man way past his forty"
While there are other girls commenting about Strangelove.
"Wow she is gorgeous"
"I wonder how she maintains that beauty."
"I would like to ask her for a date"
"Don't come out of the closet in here!" whispered one of the girls.
Nina started to blush at the sight of her new teacher "Vanessa"; she was really beautiful.
"It's a pleasure to have you here; I hope our students have a good time in your classes" said the professor happily.
"Likewise professor." Replied Huey with a happy tone. It was going to be really good for the students and the two scientists in undercover.
End of chapter 6
Well here is it! I hoped that this chapter was OK for everyone! Sorry if the grammar is bad again.
Here are some fun facts, the character Cecil Groomy was voiced by the same voice actress who voiced The Boss, Rose and Sunny. And Strangelove's other name is the name of the actress who voiced her. Miller's back stories came from the audio drama and the cassette tapes from Peace Walkers, with a small help from metalgearwiki
