Flashback
Mother Base, 2 days ago before the Refrain Factory mission
…
In the R&D lab research facility, Huey, Strangelove and several researchers started to work on new developments for the MSF's Knightmares. Now that they have gained more scientists of this world, the R&D section opened a new road for them to create new and improved weapons, assault vehicles and Knightmares.
"Uuf!" Sighed Huey as he put his left hand on his forehead tiredly. Ever since they received the data containing designs of Knightmare Frames, they have been non-stop working on it coming with many ideas to improve it.
As tiring as it sounded, it was really enjoyable for both researchers and scientists as they have never seen such magnificent technologies before and they would gladly give their inputs for it. As far as the Knightmare Frames goes, the parts they need for upgrades such as the mobility, firepower, armor and/or equipments, they have it all.
Right now Huey just finished installing a program that would likely update the Britannian program, which was more like a decoration, because all that looks different was the screen menu that instead of the Britannian flag, it has the MSF logo.
"Beautiful don't you think?" Said Huey with satisfaction towards Strangelove who just stared at the KF's screen menu.
"Seems good enough, but you still need to add a map and an onboard assistant, like an AI." Suggested Strangelove, her idea was that an AI could help the pilot to notify any enemy sighted and to mark the map like the IDROID.
"Don't worry Strangelove, our boys are working on it, right guys?"
"Hell yeah!" Shouted several scientists with joy, some of them were scientists from the India branch of the Chinese Federation.
"We did hide the "marks", right?" Whispered Huey to Strangelove.
"Of course, the Boss told everyone to hide it" Whispered back Strangelove, before their debut on the Kawaguchi convention center, all the staff members were given an important work; hide the fact that they are from an alternate world. They have done so by creating new profiles for all the staff members and the labels that said "Made in USA" was "erased" by using a strange flashlight that flashes a blue light that somehow conceals every and any kind of labels/logos. These were acquired by 2 members: the MSF soldier who was captured during his infiltration in Camp Omega on Cuba and the double agent Brian, who somehow found one of these strange devices. The former was convinced to join MSF after Big Boss took him to Mother Base.
*Ring*Ring*
Huey's radio suddenly ringed, he picked up and spoke.
"Hello?"
"Sup Huey" Said the voice of Big Boss.
"Hi Boss! How are you doing?" Greeted Huey.
"I'm fine Huey, how is everything in R&D research facility?" Asked Big Boss
"So far everything is good Boss, we managed to upgrade our Knightmares with more powerful armor, new equipments and weapons such as pistols and rifles. Grenades are also upgraded to combat other nation's Knightmares more efficiently." Informed Huey.
"I'm glad to hear it"
"Anything else Boss?"
"There is one more thing I need you and Strangelove to do" Said Big Boss which surprised Huey.
"Me and Strangelove?" Said Huey strangely getting the attention of Strangelove.
"Yes Huey, there is something very important that requires you two" Said Big Boss
"What is it Boss?" Asked Huey.
"You know our client Veg right?" Said Big Boss.
"Yeah, he is the one who knows how we ended up here, right?" Said Huey.
"Yes, he told me something that might be of high priority" Said Big Boss in a serious tone.
"What did he say Boss?" Asked Huey also in a serious tone.
"He said that there are some students in an academy called Ashford Academy in Japan which could potentially compromise MSF."
"What? Students in this Ashford Academy that can endanger MSF?" Said Huey with disbelief.
"That's right Huey, we've got teenagers with brilliant minds that might surpass you, Strangelove or any of our top scientists." Stated Big Boss.
"What's the plan?" Asked Huey.
"This is where you and Strangelove come to play. You are to infiltrate the academy as teachers and find out who these students are" Briefed Big Boss.
"Wait what? We are going to infiltrate an academy as teachers?!" Said Huey in surprise which made Strangelove wonder what they are talking about.
"But I'm a scientist, not a teacher!" Said Huey dumbstrucked
"Please Huey. I'm asking you to help me, I'm not qualified to be a teacher and neither are any of the members of MSF, you guys are the only ones who can pull this off." Big Boss pleaded to Huey to help him.
Big Boss decided that they should be the ones to infiltrate because their knowledge is higher than any other members in the R&D team, and besides their features looks perfect as teachers.
Huey sighed in defeat and said "Uh…ok Boss, we will do this job."
"Thanks Huey, I owe you one" Said Big Boss almost happily.
"But what about the papers for our profile? Don't we have to add that profession?" Asked Huey.
"Don't worry, everything is arranged. We will send one of our soldiers to that academy and inform the director regarding both of your…capabilities as teachers." Assured Big Boss.
"Ok Boss, I'll remain on standby for further updates" Finished Huey as he turned off the communicator.
"Care to fill me in?" Asked Strangelove with curiosity.
"We are going to infiltrate an academy"
"What?" Said Strangelove dumbstruck.
"Big Boss believes that there might be students capable of being a threat to MSF." Said Huey.
"Let me guess, he told you that we are going to infiltrate an academy and identify the students" Guessed Strangelove considering the fact that she heard Huey shout in surprise during their conversation.
"Uh huh, what do you think?"
"Well, at this moment I should decline that mission, infiltration is not my kind of stuff. But since you already accepted that work, what more can I do?" Responded Strangelove as a matter of fact.
"Besides, I'm interested on knowing how intelligent these students can be, now that they are said to pose a threat to MSF"
"Glad to know we're on the same page" Said Huey with a smile. Although he was wondering how different is this world.
One day passed and they received the notification from Big Boss regarding the day they commence work. Once they've packed their stuffs, they left Mother Base through a submarine towards the Japanese waters.
…
Presently, in Ashford Academy
…
Huey was at first nervous on how it was going to be his first time as a teacher, but when he arrived to the Academy and started to teach the students, it turns out that it wasn't so bad. As for the students, they all seemed harmless and unlikely to pose a threat to MSF. It was going to be hard to spot the dangerous ones.
Currently he and Strangelove were walking through the halls of the academy. After having their classes they decided to take a walk around to get a better grasp of the layout of Ashford Academy whilst under the pretense of relaxing.
While walking, they heard laughter coming from behind a metallic door. They walked to the door curiously and Huey knocked the door.
*Knock*Knock*
"Come in!" Spoke a soft, yet cheerful, female tone.
The door slid showing a small group of students talking with each other.
"Hi there! What can I do for you?" Greeted Milly cheerfully. Strangelove slightly blushed when she saw that blonde girl; she had some nice curves, dark blue eyes and what looked like soft skin.
"Hi! We are new to this place and we are still trying to get a hang of it" Spoke Huey.
"Oh! You must be the new teachers I've heard of recently" Said Milly as she pointed her finger at Huey. "You must be the physics teacher Huey and the advanced math teacher Vanessa"
This attracted the attention of all the students inside the room; they tried to look over the door curiously.
"You've got that right!" Said Huey happily. "May we come in?"
"Yeah sure!" Milly allowed as the 2 teachers entered the room seeing 4 students sitting on chairs around a large table. The students stared at them with a smile that hints curiosity.
"Miss president, may I know who they are?" Asked Rivalz curiously.
"Oh Rivalz, how uninformed you are, they are the new teachers" Said Milly.
"Oh! Are they here for sightseeing?" said Rivalz amazed.
"Yeah, sort of" Said Huey with a smile.
"Let me introduce them" Said Milly starting with Shirley.
"This is Shirley Fenette, she is the cheery and upbeat member of the student council"
"Hi teachers! I hope we can get along well in your classes" Said Shirley happily as she waved at them with her right hand.
"I hope so" Said Huey with a smile.
"This is Rivalz Cardemonde, he is the secretary of the student council"
"What's up teachers!" Greeted Rivalz with excitement.
"This is Nina Einstein, our genius member"
"H-hi" Said Nina shyly.
"She is our new member, Kallen Stadtfeld, she has the highest qualifications even though she has been gone about half of semester."
"Hi teachers" Said Kallen softly while waving with her left hand at them
"There is the vice president of the student council, Lelouch Lamperouge, but unfortunately he is somewhere else." Said Milly with disappointment.
"And myself, Milly Ashford, the president of the student council" Finished Milly pointing herself with her right thumb with pride.
"Wow you're all really brilliant students!" Praised Huey.
"Why thank you professor Huey, this is the first time a teacher is complimenting us" Said Milly with a smile.
"Hey is it possible for us to come here often?" Asked Huey with enthusiasm.
"Sure, since you were so nice, you can come here whenever you want" Said Milly happily.
Suddenly the door slid as someone entered the room.
"Milly, what is happening?" Asked a very soft voice from behind the two scientists. They turned around to see a young girl with brown hair and light clothes on a wheel chair.
"Ah Nunnally you are just in time!" Shouted with excitement Milly.
"Eh? What is it?" Asked Nunnally.
"In front of you, are the new teachers, they have just joined the academy recently." Informed Milly.
"My, my, this is somewhat embarrassing" Said Nunnally shyly.
"Not at all" Spoke Huey "But I noticed something that caught my attention, you can't see?" Spoke Huey as he noticed that she keeps her eyes closed.
"Sorry, I can't, I'm crippled and blinded since I was a kid." Said Nunnally.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you" Huey apologized with a sad tone.
"It's ok, no offense taken" Said Nunnally with a smile.
"Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Huey Emmerich and this is Vanessa Marshall, we are the new teachers for physics and advanced math respectively." Introduced Huey to Nunnally.
"Pleased to meet you, professor Huey, Professor Vanessa, as Milly said my name is Nunnally Lamperouge, I'm Lelouch's sister." Greeted Nunnally with a smile.
"Nice to meet you Nunnally, I hope we can get along well" Said Huey happily as he turned around to see outside the window.
"It is a sunny day, don't you guys think?" Commented Huey.
" Uhm, professor Huey, I don't mean to be rude but are you also using a wheelchair? Because I can't hear your footsteps and there's only wheel sounds" Asked Nunnally.
"Wow! You have good hearing!" Said Huey impressed that despite her blindness she can detect sounds easily with her ears.
"You're right, unfortunately, I was born like this" Said Huey almost sadly.
"You were born like this?!" Said Rivalz with disbelief.
"Rivalz! How rude of you!" Said Shirley angrily.
"Its ok, it is indeed strange that this happened" Said Huey.
"I'm sorry for your misfortune." said Nunnally with pity.
"Likewise" Replied Huey to Nunnally as he felt that this poor little girl suffered more than him.
…
Night time, at the swimming pool of the academy
…
Inside the main swimming pool of the academy, Lelouch and C.C were busy; actually Lelouch is the busiest one as C.C is just swimming on the pool. Currently Lelouch was checking on his laptop the list of his new recruits, each one with its own biography.
As he scrolled the screen of the laptop, he noticed one recruit named Diethard Reid, a Britannian, a reporter of TV as his profession.
"A Britannian?" Said Lelouch curiously as he continued. "He's a rather public man, for a spy. I guess he's anti-imperialist, too."
"How nice that there are so many trying to enlist" Spoke C.C while she is floating on the pool.
"It's been easier than I expected. The vast majority of Elevens hates Britannia, but cannot justify using terrorism to fight it." Said Lelouch.
"And so the majority of the elevens support the Order of the Black Knights" Said C.C
"Yes, it certainly makes our work much easier, since the citizens refuse to report our activities to the authorities. Even this group called 'Kyoto' said they would send us some Knightmares. Plus, our ability to gather information is increasing exponentially." Proceeded Lelouch.
"Even more, now that I have Militaires Sans Frontiéres on my side, there's nothing that can stop me." Finished Lelouch with satisfaction, everything seemed to be perfectly fine in his plan to destroy Britannia.
"Now that you mention them, I'm very interested on what they are capable of, especially that man, Big Boss. "Spoke C.C with interest and curiosity.
"Uhm? Why is that?" Asked Lelouch.
"It's really strange that this organization appeared out of nowhere. I have wandered this world for a long time and I haven't seen a trace of them through history" Said C.C.
"What?" Said Lelouch almost amazed.
"And there was also that feeling…" Added C.C as she got out of the pool.
"What feeling?" Asked again Lelouch.
"It was during Clovis funeral. I felt that something appeared in the world, like a rift" Said C.C.
"A rift?" Said Lelouch with interest. "Do you know where?"
"I don't know, it could have been anywhere"
"But I'm sure we will find out soon" Said C.C as she grabbed a towel.
"Maybe you're right, I should focus on my own problems right now" Said Lelouch, he decided that after he has destroyed his homeland, he would investigate this matter starting with MSF.
…
Several hours later, in a warehouse of a bay
…
"Sugoii!" Said one member of the Black Knights.
"These are Glasgows, right?" Said another member.
"No they're Burai. They're Glasgows we Japanese retrofitted." Said another member.
"I've never seen anything like them!" Said a female member.
"The Order of the Black Knights sure is well-prepared!"
"Yeah and they said these are for us!"
"Even better, we have Militaires Sans Frontiéres on our side!"
"Yeah! Nothing can stop us!"
While the members were marveling at the Knightmares and the MSF support, the original members of the Black Knights were behind marveling at yet another Knightmare, but this one is a new model made by the Japanese.
"I can't believe that the Kyoto Group gave us this!" Said Sugimiya in amazement.
"The first completely Japanese Knightmare!" Said Minami.
"The Guren MK II." Muttered Kallen in amazement too.
"Did you guys read this thing's user manual?" Asked Ohgi.
"It's got a Nuclear Pulse Emitter. What an amazing weapon" Said Inoue happily.
"That's great! It means that the bigshots in Kyoto have finally brought us into the fold." Said Tamaki with joy.
"And with the addition of Militaires Sans Frontiéres, we are unstoppable!" Said Yoshida with excitement.
"Sir!" Called one of the new recruits.
"Hm?"
"What does this tool do?"
"Oh I'll be right there, wait a minute!" Said Tamaki as he left to help the recruit.
"Ah, there's just no helping these newbies." Commented Inoue while the old members left to help the recruits leaving Kallen behind.
Suddenly she heard footsteps, when she turned around, Zero appeared in the shadows.
"I knew Tamaki would take it this way, but it's odd that Inoue's joining in too." Commented Zero. "Apparently the Kyoto Group has been the backing of many rebel groups."
"Yes, and we've finally become one of them." Said Kallen with joy.
"No, you're wrong, Kallen. This is merely a test." Said Zero
"I'm glad we've come far enough to be tested at all." Said Kalen
"You are quite an optimist" Said Zero, then he handed her the key of the Guren which surprised her.
"What is this?" Asked Kallen.
"The Guren is yours, Kallen" Said Zero which surprised her even more.
"Mine? But there are so many other talented pilots. Wouldn't its defensive capabilities be better served for your own usage?" Said Kallen almost dumbstrucked.
"You are the top pilot, and I am the commander. I can pilot a Burai well enough, but you are our ace in the hole when the bullets start flying around. Besides, you have a reason to fight" Spoke Zero giving her the reasons.
"Yes, Sir!" Said Kallen.
"Zero, may I have a moment?" Asked Ohgi as he arrived.
"Yes Ohgi, what is it?"
"We've gotten a hold of some interesting information from a prospective Britannian member." Informed Ohgi with a report on his hand.
"It may be a trap to lure us out. It would be too dangerous to meet up with him, to even confirm his information, but this dirt he's provided is too juicy to ignore." Said Ohgi while Zero started to look at the report.
"What shall we do?" Asked Ohgi as Zero closed the file.
"Let's go on a little hike this weekend, to the Narita mountain range." Said Zero which slightly surprised Ohgi.
"Hmm, yeah. By the way, there's something more Zero" Spoke Ohgi.
"Uhm?"
"If I may ask, what are the Militaires Sans Frontiéres roles in the Black Knights?" Asked Ohgi wondering how they can help.
"No need to worry Ohgi, I've already arranged their works. Soon you will see" Spoke Zero knowing his plan for them.
"Sorry, it's just that they left so soon" Said nervously Ohgi since the MSF soldiers and his leader Big Boss left Japan to their home recently.
"Don't panic Ohgi, they have only left to recharge their weapons and equipment's, I'm sure that they will be right on schedule" Said Zero as he can remember that he had a talk with Big Boss after the factory event.
…
Meanwhile in Mother Base
…
"Ah! Home sweet home!" Said Miller as he got out of the helicopter along with Big Boss and 3 MSF soldiers. It really felt like an eternity while they were in Japan, he wondered if there were any changes in Mother Base while he was away, but it was going to be a short stay, for they've arrived to retrieve their new weapons made by the R&D team.
Miller left first to the command center to inspect all the progress of Alligator, while Big Boss and the MSF soldiers are going to retrieve the new weapons located in the hangars.
Thanks to the undetectable signal of the MSF helicopters, they can leave and land wherever they want, so they don't have to worry with carrying 5 helicopters on the air.
When Big Boss and the MSF soldiers arrived to the hangar, the gate started to rise revealing 10 MSF Knightmare Frames, 5 Sutherlands and 4 Gloucesters, there is one KF of Gloucester model modified just for one person: Ocelot, and its called Knightmare Frame Leopardus.
This KF has the head of red color to resemble his old military hat, the whole body is black brown also to resemble his old Ocelot unit uniform, and even the talons got stars that to look like cowboy shoes. It's got 3 giant revolvers; 2 on the waist and the third behind it. These revolvers have armor piercing bullets and the sizes of the revolvers are enough for the KF to carry it like a person. As for the reloaded, it has a giant box attached to its left waist; it's also metallic so that any attacks wouldn't have any effect on it.
But of course, Ocelot isn't going to be the only one with his own KF, Big Boss also is going to be provided with a new KF developed by the R&D team.
The idea of them using the KF is because the battles are a whole new level, thus they need to be on their level of fight, but they can still fight without having to use KFs if they so wish.
While the staff members are carrying the KF's to the helicopters, Big Boss waited for the scientist to arrive, which he didn't have to wait long.
"Good evening Big Boss, we are glad you're back" Greeted the scientist known as Eagle Howl. Snake nodded him as a greeting.
"So where's the Knightmare Frame?" Asked Big Boss.
"Over here" Eagle Howl guided him to the hangar. When they entered, to their left there was another giant room, then on the floor it started to open vertically and it started to rise another floor.
At that moment it emerged the KF for Big Boss. Since the whole room was dark, only the silhouette of the knightmare was visible. Big Boss could see the head that resembled the helmet of a knight, then the body appeared, the KF was like a knight armor, but it was yet to be revealed the details.
The lights turned on revealing its design, it was actually a Knightmare Frame Lancelot, but this one was recolored with green and dark green colors. The green was in the white parts and the dark green was in the gold parts.
Thanks to the data's retrieved from the disc. This Lancelot is almost as powerful as the current one, and of course it's not the same, while it has the 4 slash harkens, the swords were replaced with giant combat knifes using the same effect as the maser vibration swords and the Varis rifle was replaced with 2 assault rifles known as The Patriot, in addition, it has a recognizing identification in case one of the patriots were lost, and 2 giant M1911A1 pistols with armor piercing rounds.
Although it seemed to be useless for Big Boss since he is better on doing it in the old fashion way, there were no other way to fight opposing KF's, he couldn't keep relying on the rocket launchers and he was sure that one day he will have to face an army of Knightmares.
Fortunately, he is a fast learner and after 2 weeks, he was able to learn how to control a KF, he also practiced one in the secret base in order to feel accommodating.
"So this is the Knightmare Frame made for me uh?" Said Big Boss.
"Yes, boss, doctor Huey even gave this one a name. He called it… Knightmare Frame Snake." Announced Eagle Howl.
"Snake huh? In honor for my old codename" Said Big Boss with a small smile, even though he had discarded that codename after the Peace Walker incident.
"Well , I better start packing! See you later Boss!" Said Eagle Howl with excitement while Big Boss left the hangar to a helicopter piloted by Morpho.
"Hey Morpho!" Called Big Boss from the outside. Morpho turned his head to see Big Boss outside.
"Hello Boss! What can I do for you?" Greeted Morpho.
"I have something to show you!"
Morpho complied as he got out of the helicopter.
"What is it Boss?"
Big Boss took out a cassette tape from his pocket and handed it to Morpho.
"What's this?"
"Remember 2 months ago when you proposed to add music on your helicopter every time you arrive and we accepted your request?" Said Big Boss which Morpho nodded.
"Well, here is a song, and it is said to emit some kind of effect" Said Big Boss which Morpho made a face of "Oh, I see".
"Get 30 soldiers, let them know what this is and tell them to put this on" Said Big Boss as he took out a small case and opened it revealing many small objects that look like earplugs. Morpho took the case and stared at it.
"And I assume that the effect only works whoever put these earplugs on?" Asked Morpho
"More or less, as well to protect a certain part of the song" Replied Big Boss
"If I may ask, where did you get this?" Asked Morpho.
"The client, Veg Linxing gave it to me, he said that we should use it when you and the reinforcements arrives, unfortunately he said that it will only work for 2 times, so let our soldiers assigned to this mission hear it first" Explained Big Boss, Morpho nodded as he left to find the 30 soldiers.
Big Boss then went to the main command center to solve an important matter.
Once he arrived he spoke to Miller.
"So what was the special report?" Asked Big Boss. Several seconds before he arrived to the command center, he received from Miller a special report, one that will help them expand their knowledge and recruits. And one that will surprise him.
"Boss, you are not going to believe this" Said Miller with a surprised tone. Big Boss raised an eyebrow curiously since Miller is not frequently like this.
"What is it?"
"There is a… mercenary faction of this world in our base."
"What?!" Expressed Big Boss surprised at this new. It was believed that mercenaries' factions were extinct since the creation of Britannia in order for them to conquer more lands. But it seems that there is one right in his base.
"Are you sure they are mercenaries? For all I know they might be spies from Britannia" Said Big Boss as he thought the possibility of spies.
"They are not, Boss" Miller then handed him a document. Big Boss took it and inspected it, there was a symbol; a large silver shield with a lion roaring in a attacking position, The name of the mercenary faction called "The Forgotten Knights" was labelled on the symbol.
"Don't you think this might be a hoax?" Asked Big Boss.
"No Boss, we checked and analyzed every part of the file, there's no sign of newly printed papers and we had the scientist examined the papers, it proved to be quite old, not to mention that the document is registered many years before we arrived to this world" Explained Miller, confirming that this group is not created recently by Britannia.
"Do you know where they are?" Asked Big Boss, he wanted to inspect them personally.
"Honestly don't know where they are, only he knows" Miller pointed behind him a MSF soldier.
"Sir!" Saluted the MSF soldier. Big Boss walked to him and asked.
"So where are these peoples?"
The MSF soldier lead Big Boss and Miller to the elevator and pressed the button of basement 1.
Once they arrived to the B1, the elevators door slid revealing in front of them a large group of 50 people wearing shinning grey armors, silver gauntlets, black military pants, and dark grey helmets that resembles a knight's helmet.
Suddenly all of them were silent as they noticed the elevator and saw Big Boss, Miller and a MSF soldier.
Then one of the soldiers, wearing the same outfit but with color gold went straight to them.
"You must be founder of this nation, am I right?" Spoke the soldier with an English accent to Big Boss.
"Yes" Started Big Boss. Seeing that this people might be Britannian or English.
"Before I continue, I want to ask you a question. What is your real purpose of creating this place?" Questioned the golden soldier.
"If you remember what I said weeks ago, then you must know that everything I said is true to my word. I created this nation for soldiers who do not wish to be used as pawns in their political games and where every soldier is treated as a human being, regardless of age, ideology, religion, or the color of our skin."
The golden soldier stared at Big Boss amazed at his objective of creating this artificial land. He slowly bent down on one knee, with his right fist on the ground, and his head down.
Big Boss, Miller, and the MSF soldier observed his curiously.
"You're just as i thought. A man who created this place for people like us who has nowhere to go, and the only thing we are good is at fighting. It is an honor to finally meet you, my lord." Said the golden soldier with a lot of sincerity.
Big Boss and Miller were quite impressed the words spoken by this man.
"Who are you and your people?" Asked Big Boss.
…
Plays the song "Frog's theme (orchestral)" from Chrono trigger
…
Suddenly, one by one, the soldiers kneeled in front of Big Boss, on one knee, right fist on the floor and head down. The way they did was like a knight bending in front of a king.
*Thud* Thud*
*Thud* *Thud*
Big Boss and Miller felt a lot of thuds made by the soldiers, and they were amazed at such majestic presentation.
Gregory removed his helmet, golden hair flowing down the helmet reaching to his back neck, his face was of a man in his 30s, Caucasian, brown eyes, blond eyebrows, and a well-defined nose.
Big Boss could see that those were eyes of a warrior.
"My lords, I am Sir Gregory Charles, leader of this group and we are the Britannian mercenary faction "The Forgotten Knights", we have been fighting for a lot of lords and politicians countless of years ago since Britannia's creation, we managed to stay hidden and work in secrecy, when we saw your first appearance weeks ago, your speech showed sincerity, honor and justice. So we made the decision of joining you and your comrades. That's why we are here to ask you. Can we join your nation?"
Big Boss heard the determination of Gregory in his voice, and can tell that they do want to join Outer Heaven. That is when he made his decision.
"You are more than welcome to join us, Gregory Charles." Welcomed Big Boss to Gregory and his men, Gregory raised his head with a surprised face and then he smiled.
"Thank you my lord, from now on…" Gregory drew out from his wrist a silver sword and stabbed it on the ground.
"We are your swords and we will be forever in your debt."
Big Boss, Miller and the MSF soldier couldn't do anything but smile warmly at them.
"Rise now, Sir Gregory" Said Big Boss, Gregory and The Forgotten Knight soldiers stood up.
"Before I let them in, promise me that you and your people won't cause trouble with other members" Said Big Boss.
"Me and my brethren's will do as you say. You are our new lord now" Spoke Gregory.
"WELCOME TO OUTER HEAVEN! GREGORY AND THE FORGOTTEN KNIGHTS!" Announced Big Boss which made them all shout in joy.
…
End of the song
…
After 1 hour of packing the KF's on a carrier, the 3 MSF soldiers reloaded their weapons and changed their outfits to another that could fit in the mission, as well to deploy 10 more MSF soldiers.
Big Boss walked to the helicopter with the 13 MSF soldiers waiting for him.
"Sir!" They saluted him.
"Alright boys! Listen up! Our objective for this mission is to help the organization the Order of the Black Knights, what we are going to do is quite simple: protect them and provide firepower. Now I have good news and bad news. I'll start with the bad news, the bad news is that this won't be a sneaking mission and we are going to face an army of Knightmares. The good news is that we are equipped with upgraded weapons and we will have reinforcements when the situation gets bad." Instructed Big Boss to his soldiers.
"Are we clear?"
"Sir, yes, Sir!"
"Now move out!" Shouted Miller.
The soldiers complied and entered the helicopter. Big Boss was the last to enter as he closed the door of the helicopter and started to depart.
While the helicopter was leaving. Morpho, who was inside the living quarters with all the MSF soldiers he could get, started to explain what he was going to do.
"This is what happens, Big Boss gave me this cassette and instructed me to let you guys listen it." Said Morpho to the MSF soldiers.
"May I ask what are we going to hear?" Asked one MSF soldiers.
"I have no idea, that's why we are going to hear it right now." Then Morpho started to hand over the earplugs.
"What's this for?" Asked another MSF soldier curiously.
"According to the Boss, it has some sort of effect. I think that these earplugs are what allow the effect to make it work." Said Morpho.
After the MSF soldiers put their earplugs, Morpho inserted the tape on a reproducer.
"Ok, here goes nothing" Said Morpho as he pressed the start button.
What they heard impressed them greatly. "Holy Sh…"
…
Elsewhere
…
In a place where there's only orange skies and clouds, but has nothing but a large white temple-like structure hovering in the endless space, it is also considered to be a place where it could be called another world, on the temple-like structure known as Sword of Akasha stood the emperor of the Holy Empire of Britannia, Charles zi Britannia.
Charles is currently staring at the endless sky, he is deep in thoughts about what happened these weeks, he felt a great disturbance right before his speech on Clovis's funeral, it was like an unnatural distortion that formed a small rift in the world or to be more exact ,the universe.
Then Zero appeared with his organization the Black Knights, which is becoming a headache, and now a mercenary nation appeared to make things worse. The group that caught more his attention is the mercenary nation Militaires Sans Frontiéres.
He could still remember that day when they first appeared on the TV, at first he thought that they were just a regular terrorist group, but after 2 weeks he witnessed all the havocs they caused in his homeland and Areas, he clearly underestimated them and they might be as powerful as Zero and his Black Knights.
"Just who are you, Big Boss?" Spoke to himself. Ever since his first appearance during the Kawaguchi convention center, more and more soldiers from all over the world started to join him because of his speech.
"Have you felt it, Charles?" Spoke a voice from behind him.
"Yes, V.V" Replied Charles as he turned around to face his older brother who looks more like a kid and not to mention that he is immortal.
"That rift, what could have caused it?"
"I'm not sure V.V, but whatever it was, it must have been made by someone more powerful than us." Said Charles.
"Who could it be?" Asked V.V
"I'm not sure who, but in due time our main concern is that of the mercenary nation." Said Charles almost angrily.
"I know Charles; they have proven to be stronger than the Order of the Black Knights."
"We must find a way to stop them. You know what would eventually happen if we don't resolve this matter." Said Charles.
"Yes, they might be able to stop us from accomplishing our goal." Claimed V.V. "But before, we must know what other feats they can perform."
"What do you suggest?" Asked Charles, then V.V let out a smirk and said.
"Let's test them"
…
Next Day, in the secret base of MSF.
…
Deep below the base of MSF lies a giant underground basement used to storage weapons, vehicles and Knightmares, it also serves as a training ground for both soldiers and Knightmares.
Right now we see Ocelot, Big Boss, Miller and the 13 MSF soldiers staring at Ocelot's Knightmare.
"Well, it's not as bad as I thought" Said Ocelot as he stared as his KF. As soon as they arrived to the coast of Japan, they transported the Knightmares undetected using a tunnel they made that would lead them straight to the underground of the base.
"Do you want to test it?" Asked Big Boss to Ocelot.
"Sure, let's see how good I am in one of these things" Ocelot jumped in on the KF's cockpit while the rest moved away. Once the cockpit was closed, he inserted the key and switched it on, The Leopardus slowly activated with its eyes glowing with white color. Inside the cockpit, Ocelot started to remember the controls from the manual. Then carefully, he grabbed the main controls and slowly moved forward, the Knightmare Frame Leopardus started to slowly walk forward.
"Ok, everything seems to be fine." Said Ocelot.
"Now let's try this" Ocelot pushed the control and then retracted it, thanks to the time he spent on reading the manual and studying the Gloucester model, he managed to make the Leopardus mimic his old hand gesture.
"This is awesome!" Ocelot then moved the controller again making the Leopardus look at its hands and then clench its fists.
"Are you done yet?" Asked Miller.
"Hold on a second!" Spoke Ocelot through the speaker of the Leopardus, he moved the control again making the Leopardus draw out its 2 revolver in a similar manner like he does.
"What the?! Take cover!" Shouted one of the MSF soldiers as everyone took cover behind some metallic crates.
"What the hell, Ocelot?!" Yelled Miller at this sudden move.
"Hehe, sorry guys, I think I overreacted" Said Ocelot as the Leopardus sheathed his revolvers and slowly started to deactivate itself.
"If you are going to do that, warn us the next time" Said Big Boss as he and the rest got out from their hiding.
"So did you like it?" Asked Big Boss to Ocelot.
"Your damn right!" Said Ocelot as he got out of the cockpit and landed on the floor.
"But Boss, any idea what are we gonna do once we have arrived to this Narita Mountain?" Asked Ocelot while walking to Big Boss.
"We are going to provide firepower for the Black Knights, and protect Zero when his soldiers fail to do it." Briefed Big Boss. Big Boss mentally chuckled at the last part. It felt somewhat ironic the fact that he was going to protect the man whose nickname is the same as the man who he has sworn to defeat.
"Good, Its time to kick some Britannian ass." Said Ocelot almost with excitement.
…
Narita Mountain, several hours later, Cornelia's Mobile Base.
…
Somewhere, in the outskirts of Narita Mountain, Cornelia and her army were on their way to the mountain to terminate the JLF once and for all, while they were planning their tactics to assault the fortress.
Cornelia at this moment is feeling calm even though the uprising problem is still bugging her. The reason she is currently calm is that she received reports that the uprising was being controlled by his brother Schneiezel, after all he is the most intelligent of the royal family. Since it all calmed down, she continued her operation of eradicating the JLF and leave Area 11 to her sister.
"We've confirmed that the JLF's headquarters is in this area." Informed Darlton as the screen of the metallic table displayed a map of Narita Mountain.
"We've split four battalions into seven groups and placed them in wait. We have only to wait for your signal, Viceroy. Whereupon we'll tighten our formation and eliminate them." Said Darlton to Cornelia.
"Couldn't the enemy come at us from outside the formation?" Asked Euphy.
"Zero?" Spoke Cornelia in wonder.
"When we begin the operation, we will simultaneously block off all roads and trails in the area. And we have plenty of reinforcements." Said Darlton assuring that this operation will be successful.
"If Zero shows his face, It will be for the last time." Said Cornelia to Euphy. But deep inside her she couldn't shake the feeling that Outer Heaven will be involved. If they were present, they would have to prepare themselves for the worst.
…
Meanwhile, in another side of the mountain.
…
After Lelouch geassed the JLF members in an outpost, he sat on a chair inside the outpost waiting for his soldiers to prepare the equipment he set up for his plan and to wait the Big Boss and his soldiers to arrive.
"Hmmn, I wonder when they are going to arrive" Thought Lelouch as he flipped another page and then turned his head to see C.C outside looking at the mountains.
Several seconds later, he exited the outpost to speak with C.C about why she was here.
"C.C. What are you doing here?" Asked Lelouch in a commanding tone.
"Didn't I say I would protect you?" Said C.C
"Who do you think you are? My mom?" Said Lelouch sarcastically.
"Lelouch, why are you "Lelouch"?" Said C.C
"I have no time to discuss philosophy" Said Lelouch as a matter of act.
"You changed your family name to "Lamperouge", but you kept your Christian name, "Lelouch"." Said C.C.
"You simply couldn't let go of your past, could you?"
"But don't you think that "C.C" is a little much? That's not even a person name." Countered Lelouch. She turned to face him and now they were staring at each other. Suddenly a gust of snow flew by their side.
"Lelouch, do you know why snow is white?" Asked C.C leaving Lelouch puzzled at that question. Then she answered it.
"Because it's forgotten what color it once was."
"That's rather interesting, the conversation you both are having." Spoke suddenly a voice. They quickly turned to their left side to see none other than Big Boss and 13 MSF soldiers, along with another one wearing a brown coat and a red scarf.
"What the?! How did they…?!" Lelouch's eyes widened in shock that they suddenly appeared without making a noise, but that was the least of his problem as another appeared making him realize what it was instantly.
"Damn it! I forgot to put on my mask!" Lelouch cursed on his mind, and then he thought about using his geass to make them forget they saw his face. He must conceal his identity no matter what.
"So that's your face, Zero. I'm surprised that the man who is leading the Black Knights is a young boy." Commented Ocelot. Lelouch quickly activated his geass and was about to say his command.
"What the hell?" Reacted Big Boss and his soldiers as he saw that Zero's right eye showed a red bird shaped sigil.
"Red bird shaped sigil? That's the symbol Strangelove saw!" Thought Big Boss. Sensing a danger, he and the rest were about to draw out their guns.
"Soldiers!" Shouted Big Boss implying them to draw their weapons. But…
"Lelouch vi Britannia, commands all of you to forget my face!" Commanded Lelouch as the Geass sigil flew to their eyes.
"What…?" Said Ocelot confused before falling to his geass.
"YES! YOUR MAJESTY!" Spoke Big Boss, Ocelot and the MSF soldiers.
Lelouch quickly put on the mask just in time for Big Boss and his soldiers to forget that short memory.
"W-what the?" Stuttered Big Boss with a confused face, Ocelot and the 13 MSF soldiers did the same as they were confused, it felt like they missed or skipped something. Then they saw that in front of them were Zero and a girl with green hair.
Lelouch mentally sighed in relief, but still he regretted that it had to end this way.
"Aaah, Big Boss, good to see you have arrived in time" Spoke Zero pleasantly. Big Boss, nodded at him.
"So who is this girl with you?" Asked Big Boss. Once Ocelot saw the green haired girl, he raised an eyebrow in wonder as he felt he saw her before.
"Her name is C.C, she is my partner." Introduced Zero as she stared at them with a small smile.
"Pleased to meet you, Big Boss" C.C spoke with a calmed tone.
"Likewise" Said Big Boss and then he asked to Zero "Where are your soldiers?"
"They are currently preparing the equipment for my plan." Said Zero.
"I guess it's time to meet them" Said Big Boss as he, Zero and the rest departed to meet the Black Knights members.
…
Half an hour later.
…
"All units are in position." Spoke the operator.
"Very well. Euphemia will fall back to Point G-1, as scheduled. She has command of the medical teams." Spoke Cornelia.
"Yes, your highness."
"Lady Cornelia" Suddenly spoke Guilford.
"Guilford? This is about Euphy, isn't it?"
"Yes. I believe she should have stayed at headguarters." Said Guilford.
"She's surprisingly stubborn. She insisted on seeing the battle first-hand." Commented Cornelia. The rest started to prepare themselves for the incoming battle of Narita Mountain.
…
On the other side of the mountain.
…
While the drillers were digging the ground on some area and expulsing dirts, the members of the Black Knights were getting bored as they were all prepared.
"Damn it, where is Zero?" Complained Tamaki.
"Be patient, would you?" Said Yoshida with an annoyed tone.
"But we have been sitting our asses for almost 2 hours! And Zero hasn't appeared yet."
"Im starting to think that he deserted us" Then he was slapped by a pissed off Kallen.
"What's gotten into you, Tamaki! There is no way that Zero would abandon us! He needs us!" Said Kallen angrily at Tamaki.
"Tsk" Tamaki then rubbed his cheek.
"No need to worry any longer, Tamaki." Suddenly spoke the voice of Zero.
They all turned around to see not only Zero, but the MSF mercenaries and with them the founder Big Boss.
"It's Militarie Sans Frontiéres!" Whispered one member of the Black Knights in excitement. Kallen smiled seeing that the most powerful soldiers arrived. Then she recognized one of the members.
"Hey I remember you!" Shouted Kallen as she pointed at Ocelot.
"Well, well, if it isn't the shy schoolgirl" Teased Ocelot. They all looked at Kallen and Ocelot in wonder.
"You know him?" Asked Ohgi incredulously.
"Kinda, I met him and Big Boss some days ago" Said Kallen to Ohgi.
"And you didn't tell us?" Spoke Inoue which made Big Boss and Ocelot stared at her in shock, there was again another voice that resembled The Boss.
Inoue moved her gaze at them and felt a little uncomfortable with them staring at her.
"Is there something wrong?" Asked Inoue to the MSF group. Big Boss erased his shocked face and said "Nothing, its just that you remind me of someone"
Inoue raised an eyebrow curiously at that.
"They tricked us!" Accused Tamaki. Big Boss and the rest of his soldiers stared at him with confusion.
"What are you talking about?" Asked Zero.
"Just look! They are just 15 members!" Said Tamaki.
"What? You have problem?" Spoke Ocelot.
"Yeah! I expected a whole army of badass mercenaries to fight Britannia!" Said Tamaki.
"Tamaki you idiot, Zero must have brought just few of them because of their price!" Said Minami.
"Not exactly" Spoke Big Boss gaining the attention of everyone.
"The amount of mercenaries needed for each mission is determined by the situation of the mission." Informed Big Boss.
"What?" Said Tamaki with confusion.
"It means that, they deploy their amount of soldiers depending on how much is needed." Said Ohgi.
"But don't you think it's very few?" Spoke Zero to Big Boss.
"Does it?" Said Big Boss as he advert his eyes to Zero's members.
"You there" Called Big Boss while pointing at Ohgi.
"Me?" Said Ohgi with a surprised tone as he pointed himself with his finger.
"Answer me this. What was your profession before becoming a resistance?" Asked Big Boss, everyone was confused at that question.
"I was a teacher." Responded Ohgi. Big Boss made a small nod at that answer and then went to another member.
"You. What was your profession?" Asked Big Boss pointing at Sugimiya.
"I was a guitarist, sir." Responded Sugimiya.
"Guitarist, huh?"
"And you?" Asked Big Boss pointing at Tamaki.
"Bartender, so what?" Responded Tamaki in a cocky way.
Big Boss made again a small nod acknowledging their previous occupations, and then he turned his head to his soldiers and asked.
"COMRADES! WHAT WAS YOUR PROFESSION BEFORE JOINING MILITAIRE SANS FRONTIÉRES?!"
"WE WERE SOLDIERS FROM OUR COUNTRIES!" Chanted the group with their fist in the air.
"See, Zero? I brought more soldiers than you did." Said Big Boss to Zero with a small smirk suggesting that MSF soldiers have spent their entire life in the military. This made Zero chuckle with amusement which made all the Black Knights members stare at him dumbfounded as they have never seen Zero laugh.
"Ahahaha, i see." Said Zero.
"But don't underestimate my comrades; you see I was able to turn this small resistance group into Britannia's headache."
Big Boss couldn't do anything but let out a small smirk, this scene reminded him a lot of the time when he found FSLN members and then turned them into real soldiers.
"Is that so? Then I'm looking forward to see them in action." Said Big Boss.
"Then let's get started shall we?"
…
Minutes later.
…
Several minutes later have passed as the drillers almost reached its purpose. The Black knights were feeling hyped as they will be aided by MSF mercenaries, until 10 of them left, including Big Boss and the brown coated man known as Ocelot, leaving only 5 of them to aid them. These fives are known as: Giraffe, Onager, Nighthawk, Mustang and Stork. The reason that Big Boss, Ocelot and 8 MSF soldiers left was that they were going to retrieve their "secret weapons".
Even though they were gone just to get their equipment's, the Black Knight member's morale slightly dropped.
"Say…are we really going to do this?" Asked Ohgi to Zero.
"We're up against Cornelia, the most formidable military mind in all of Britannia."
"Then we should join up with the JLF" Whispered Ohgi as he felt that even with MSF on their side, their opponent is still Cornelia, a fearsome opponent.
"Now Ohgi, do you not trust me?"
"What are you talking about? I asked you to be our leader!" Said Ohgi dumbstruck.
"Sorry, Zero. Its just that the Militaire Sans Frontiéres left us with just 5 mercenaries." Ohgi apologized to Zero.
"Don't worry Ohgi, they will comeback, I was informed that they'll show up with their secret weapon."
"But how do you know what their secret weapons are?" Asked Ohgi.
"Because the man known as Ocelot showed me a picture of the weapon." Said Zero.
"Yes sir."
…
With the Britannians
…
The operation started as hundreds of Knightmares are deployed via Mobile Base, train cargo, airplane or from the small town located just a little bit far from the Narita Mountain.
…
Inside Narita Mountain.
…
Inside the mountain is located the JLF main base, the screen of their giant sensor started to display hundreds of Knightmares surrounding the mountain.
"We're under attack?!" Said the general Katabe in shock.
"The Britannian army has surrounded the entire Narita range. They number over one hundred." Informed a Japanese soldier.
…
Back with Zero
…
"It begins." Said Zero, then Ohgi just looked at the massive army of Britannia surrounding the mountain in shock. The 5 MSF soldiers didn't show fear, but inside they felt somewhat uneasy about this situation.
"My god" Said Giraffe in shock at the massive army.
"Don't worry, Boss will arrive soon" Assured Mustang
"I hope so" commented Onager.
"Y-your kidding! You've gotta be kidding me, Zero! That many units are enough to completely surround us!" Spoke Tamaki in disbelief. "And our way out…"
"Is already cut off" Finished Zero.
"If you wish to live, we must make our stand here."
"Make a stand against Britannia?" Said Inoue with fear.
"Youre asking us to fight them head-on! Were surrounded, dammit!" Yelled Tamaki.
"And we're up against Cornelia this time. Unlike our targets, she's a force to be reckoned with!" Added Sugimiya.
"Yes, it would be a miracle if we won in this situation" Said Zero making all the members shocked including the MSF soldiers.
"What the hell, Zero!" Said Ohgi.
"Even the messiah had to perform a miracle to prove himself. Thus, we need a miracle, as well." Said Zero.
"This reminds me of Boss, don't you think?" Asked Nighthawk to Stork.
"Yeah, kind of" Said Stork.
"Miracles don't come cheap! You really can't lead us! I can-"As Tamaki was about to draw out his gun. Zero pointed his gun at him which shocked everyone. The 5 MSF soldiers thought he was going to shoot him, but then they saw what they didn't expect.
Zero twirled his gun and pointed it to Tamaki as if he is offering his gun.
"Our exit is cut off. Whoever truly believes he can live without my aid, shoot me!" Said Zero to his members who are all looking at Zero in disbelief. The MSF soldiers saw this turn of events somewhat interesting.
"As a member of the Order of the Black Knights, you have two choices; Live with me, or die with me!" This made everyone feel uneasy. But the MSF soldiers couldn't do anything but find this situation amusing. It almost felt like having Big Boss present.
"Whats the matter? Will no one challenge me?" Said Zero, and to make things more interesting…
"How about you guys?" Zero asked to the 5 MSF soldiers which surprised them as well as the Black Knights where several members gasped.
"What? Us?" Said Giraffe in surprise.
"You are all professionals; I assume that some of you were commander before in your homelands, right? I think you guys are capable to pull this off" Said Zero.
They really didn't know what to do, If only Big Boss was present. Then they made their decision.
"No thanks, I think I'll pass." Said Nighthawk.
"Me too" Said the other MSF soldiers declining the offer. Lelouch smiled under his helmet, he didn't know why, but he felt like he had to.
"So what is going to be?" Asked Zero as he turned to his members.
"Tsk, do whatever you want" Said Tamaki almost angrily.
"Yeah, you are the leader." Said Sugimiya.
"Thank you, I appreciate it." Thanked Zero to his members.
While this was happening, the Britannian army and the JLF were fighting. So far, the Britannians are winning as they defeated every single Burai deployed by the JLF.
"Nakamura's squade has stopped transmitting."
"Block three is not responding!"
"Major Tabata has been killed in action."
"Kurota and Kurada are dead, too!"
While the japanese operators are informing their horrible situation, Katase with hope said. "Toudoh, if only Toudoh were here, the winds of fortune would turn to our side. If only there were another miracle like in Itsukushima."
Then he added with guilt "If only I have hired the mercenaries of Militaire Sáns Frontieres... Damn it!" He cursed as he should have hired them since the first day they made their appearence, it was because of his pride that he did not hire them.
…
Back with the Black Knights
…
"Alright! Everything is in place! Black Knights and Militaire Sans Frontiéres! Prepare for battle!" Commanded Zero as everyone prepared their weapons and Knightmares.
"The Order of the Black Knights will now execute a surprise attack on the Britannian forces! The Militaire Sáns Frontieres will provide us protection and firepower! Now follow my orders and descend to point three simultaneously. The goal of this operation is the capture of the second princess of Britannia, Cornelia!"
"Kallen, use Electrode Probe number three, you can do it in one shot, right?"
"Yes" The Guren laid its robotic claw on top of the driller and started to emit the radiation.
"Well this seems interesting" Commented Onage.
Once the first shot was fired, there was silence. Seconds later the mountain started to rumble with a lot of force. This caused the ground erupt water and making the whole ground slide down creating a huge rock slide.
"Holy shit." Commented Mustang.
…
With the Britannians.
…
As the huge rock slide started to slide down on southwest, the Britannian soldiers of that area didn't have time to dodge as they were all washed down by the rocks.
"What the hell?!"
"Now… of all times! AAAAAAAH!" Yelled the Britannian soldier inside a Glasgow.
The rock slide was wiping out Alex and Darlton battalions quickly.
"Whats the situation?!" Called Cornelia through her communicator.
"Were still confirming"
"Get back your majesty! Its dangerous here!" Said Guilford in concern.
"No matter! Where is Alex? Find him and find Darlton!" Commanded Cornelia.
…
With Lelouch
…
"That was more destructive than I predicted" Thought Lelouch pleasantly at the outcome.
"We'll have to use it a little more carefully, in the future. I should ask my physics professor. What was his name? Aah, Huey Emmerich. He proved to be smarter than the previous professor, I think he can equal Nina"
…
Back with Cornelia
…
"We have confirmed a new unit coming from the direction of the summit. Karius' unit is moving to intercept."
"They're trying to take advantage of the confusion." Commented Cornelia.
"Urgent transmission from Karius." Said Guilford almost in horror.
"What is it?"
"They arent the Japanese Liberation Front! He believes the Black Knights are the enemy!"
"What? Then-"
"Zero!" Said Jeremiah with excitement! "We meet again Zero!"
Villetta tried to stop him, but he left anyway.
…
With Lelouch
…
"Cornelia has only a limited number of reinforcements. Search and Destroy!" Commanded Zero.
As everyone was told on what to do, the MSF soldiers prepared their weapons in case any enemy appeared behind them.
"ZERO!" Yelled Jeremiah as he fired at Lelouch's 2 Knightmares. Which caused them to eject.
"Are you there, Zero! If you are ,then I, Jeremiah Gottwald, call you out!"
"Ooh, its been a while. You are still in the army then? I don't have time to deal with you right now, orange-kun." Said Lelouch as a taunt.
"O-o-o-o ORANGE?! DIE!" Jeremiah charged furiously at Zero's Knightmare but then a black figure landed in front of him and then kicked its rifle away.
"What the?!" Shouted Jeremiah as he activated the swords underneath the arms. Then he finally saw it. It was a black Gloucester with its head completely read and a circular razor sticking out of its talon.
"What's with this Gloucester?" Thought Jeremiah.
"Ocelot, you've arrived just in time" Said Zero pleasantly.
"Wait Jeremiah!" Shouted Viletta.
"Don't interfere! This is my fight!" Retorted Jeremiah
"But sir, there is something odd about that Gloucester! I have never seen that model before!"
"Humph! It must be some sort of cheap copy made by those damn Elevens!" Assumed Jeremiah.
"Excuse me, I think you are confusing it, I'm not with the Japaneses or Elevens as you Britannian calls them" Spoke Ocelot through the Leopardus.
"Huuuh? Then who are you supposed to be? Aren't you one of the Black Knights or perhaps you're a member of the JLF?"
"Take a good look again!" Replied Ocelot as he moved Leopardus's hands to its holsters. Villetta inspected quickly the Leopardus, then her eyes widened when she saw a very familiar logo on its right shoulder.
"Jeremiah! That's…!" But there was no need as Jeremiah interrupted her.
"The Militaires Sans Frontiéres logo! So he is a member of that band of pirates!" Shouted Jeremiah.
"If the Militaire Sans Frontiéres is with the Order of the Black Knights, it means…!" Said Kewell in horror.
"Damn it! They have joined forces!" Finished Jeremiah.
"Zero! You go ahead and proceed with your plan! I'll handle this guy!" Spoke Ocelot to Zero.
"Alright Ocelot, I'll leave Jeremiah to you!" Replied Zero as he started to fall back.
"You won't escape Zero!" Jeremiah dashed forward to strike down Zero.
But Ocelot stopped him by delivering a kick to the Sutherland on its cockpit.
"Where do you think you're going, Orange?" Interjected Ocelot while he taunted Jeremiah with the "orange" nickname.
"O-o-o-o-ooooraaaaaange?!" Stuttered Jeremiah angrily.
"You shall die, asshole!" Jeremiah charged to tackle Ocelot, but the Leopardus jumped and tip toed on the Sutherland head. It landed behind it, then the Sutherland tried to slash it, but the Leopardus just easily dodged it.
"I guess I'll have to get Zero later, once I have disposed of you!" Said Jeremiah through the speaker.
"But before we fight, don't you think we should introduce ourselves?" Asked Ocelot slightly like a taunt.
"Hmph! Very well, it won't matter anyway" Jeremiah prepared his blades and spoke.
"My name is Jeremiah Gottwald, member of the purist faction"
Ocelot lowered his arms and made a cowboy position with his hands almost reaching to his holsters.
"My name is Adamska, but you will know me better as Ocelot" introduced Ocelot. "And be honored to be the first purist member to fight a real man"
"Ha, real man? you wont fight with honor, you are just a pirate" Said Jeremiah with a mocking tone.
"Wanna know something interesting? Ocelots are like Britannia" informed Ocelot.
"Oooh? And why would that be?" Replied Jeremiah with wonder
"Like Britannia, Ocelots are proud creatures, they prefer to hunt alone." Then he draws out his revolvers prompting the purist faction to raise their guns at him. Unexpectedly, Ocelot started to spin his revolvers in a very fancy way.
(A/N: In this part imagine Ocelot spinning his revolvers in the same way he did before his first battle with Big Boss, sorry I find this part quite difficult to write.)
The purist faction couldn't do anything but stare in amazement at such display.
Then Ocelot stopped whirling his revolvers as he pointed them upward.
"Twelve shots, twelve shots it's all I need to take care all of you." Said Ocelot as he twirled again the revolvers and then withdrew it back to his holster with an incredible speed.
"Ha! Twelve shots? You think you can defeat us with twelve shots?" Laughed Kewell "Who do you think you are?"
"Me? I am the best gunner in the world!" Ocelot again drew out his revolver and shot at Kewell and several 3 purist faction members.
"What th…" Kewell couldn't finish as the Sutherland was hit by the bullet on its core thus exploding, killing him instantly. The other Sutherlands exploded as well by the same weak spot.
"Sir Kewell!" Cried Villetta.
"You bastard!" Yelled Villetta as she opened fire. But the Leopardus dodged the bullets by jumpig backward and land behind a rock.
"Stop Viletta!" Stopped Jeremiah.
"But Sir! He killed Sir Kewell!"
"I know! That is why I am going to avenge him! Nobody interfere! This is my fight!" Declared Jeremiah as he faced the giant rock where the Leopardus is hiding behind it.
"Come out, Ocelot! Im going to show you that Britannia is more powerful than your pathetic mercenary nation!"
"Is that a challenge? Then I accept it graciously" Ocelot revealed himself with its hands steady on it holsters.
Now they were both facing each other with their respective weapons ready.
Then the duel began as Ocelot shouted a very familiar word.
"DRAW!"
…
Meanwhile
…
While Lelouch was on his way to where Cornelia lies he thought triumphantly as she is about to face someone she won't be able to defeat.
"The situation is now clear. All the pieces are in place. All that is left is to put my opponent's king in check."
The scene changes to where Cornelia and her soldiers are with their weapons ready. Suddenly two large figure lands in front of the knightmares. They readied their weapons at the large figures.
But then they stopped as they stared in disbelief and in shock at the figures, it was 2 Knightmares, the first one is completely different red Knightmare as it has a large metallic claw like arm and the other is a very familiar Knightmare, but the color was green and the equipments are completely different. Then their fear was confirmed as the Knightmare has the logo of the organization they have wanted to capture or destroy.
"I-impossible" Said Guilford in shock.
"Who are you two?! "Demanded Cornelia.
"It seems we meet again, Cornelia" Spoke a rough voice that was all familiar to her.
"That voice… It can't be... Big Boss!" Said Cornelia in shock.
"Allow me to present you the Knightmare Frame made by the Japaneses: The Guren Mk-II"
"And allow me to present you a Knightmare from your latest model and remade by Outer Heaven… Meet Knightmare Frame SNAKE."
TO BE CONTINUED
And here is done! And as always sorry for the grammar errors, and wait patiently for the next chapter!
And before anyone ask, yes, I did a 300 reference XD.
Extra information :Leopardus is the Latin word for Ocelot. The Forgotten Knight faction idea came from the user Helghast Honor Guard, thanks for the idea!
Rate and Review Please! Good reviews makes me happy! And I will try to take more serious the suggestions, though there might be some that I wont take it serious because there are some things already planned for the story.
