29. Final Chapter

Well, this is it guys. The last chapter…

This time, the main focus will be with Big Boss and his forces against the Euro-Britannians, expect characters from Akito the Exiled and Oz of Reflection.

Note: 60 percent of the fight scenes here with particular characters from Euro Britannia are written by Nightroad, so it is yet again heavily edited in order to make it consistent and fit the main timeline. Also, there will be some jumps between scenes and not enough fight descriptions, because I faced serious writer's block. My only option was to use Nightroad's drafts and make big changes with it. So, I deeply apologize for the lack of words/scenes for several characters as well as any inconsistency and grammars.

…

Final Stage

…

…

Mother Base, Mess Hall

…

Mosquito steadied his breath after what he and his team had to do. They managed to incapacitate all of the mind-controlled MSF soldiers, but it caused severe consequences. Aside from a few MSF soldiers that were left with no choice but to get killed in self-defense, some of his own team were going through shocks and trauma.

Some of the hardened soldiers, like himself, Lightning, and few MSF soldiers, were able to overcome it, but others like Yang, David, Akio and some of the MSF reinforcement soldiers who are recently recruited were traumatized from this experience.

Yang was leaning against a wall, wide eyed and shocked what she and the rest have done. Akio ana David looked in the ground dumbstruck that the raised their guns against their fellow soldiers, even though they were being controlled.

"W-What have we done?" Stuttered Yang.

Mosquito approached her and put a hand on her left shoulder.

"We did what we had to do" Mosquito tried to console her. Yang then looked at Mosquito, her face still shocked.

"But, we…we shoot our friends!" Said Yang.

Mosquito nodded and he understand what Yang is feeling.

"I know, but it was the only way" Said Mosquito.

"I…" Yang tried to say something, but nothing came.

Then Lightning came to Yang's side.

"Sis?" Yang said as she registered Lightning's presence.

Lightning's face was expressionless, then suddenly she wrapped her arms around Yang's waist and hugged her tightly.

Yang stiffed a bit, but relaxed as she hugged her back.

"Everything will be fine, Yang" Lightning said in a caring tone.

Yang let out a small tear fall from her eyes and buried her face on Lightning's shoulder.

Lightning looked at Mosquito and nodded at him, indicating that she can handle it.

Mosquito nodded back and spoke.

"It's better if you, Yang and our injured soldiers go to the sick bay for a checking. We need to make sure that you are all mentally well."

"Alright" Replied Lightning.

Mosquito then left to check the rest.

A few minutes later, everything was organized. The neutralized MSF soldiers were now placed under surveillance with several MSF soldiers, while the ones that are on need for medical attention are prepared.

"Alright, everyone is clear to what you are all going to do, right?" Clarified Mosquito. Everyone nodded at him.

"Good, time to go" Mosquito finished. But as soon as they were about to move…

*BOOM!*

The ground trembled and many were shaken at the sudden explosion.

"What was that?!" Shouted one of the MSF soldiers.

They all turned to see where the explosion happened and they saw a big cloud of smoke and flames covering that bridge.

"Look! Over there!" Shouted another MSF soldier as he pointed to another direction.

Everyone looked in shock when they saw a large fleet of Britannian forces.

"INCOMING!" An MSF soldier shouted as more projectiles were sighted on the sky.

*BOOM!*

Several parts of the struts and bridges exploded, mainly in the living quarters, supports missions and the bridges of the R&D.

While Mother Base was being bombarded, the alarms blared all over the base.

"Attention, all personal! To your battle stations! We are under attack! I repeat, we are under attack! This is not a drill!"

Coincidentally, the bombing stopped.

Mosquito quickly looked around frantically. They JUST got out of a serious situation happening in Mother Base. That is when he realized it… Everything was planned. This was just a distraction for the real one.

"Yang, Lightning!" Mosquito called them.

Yang and Lightning quickly perked when Mosquito called them.

"Take our injured men to the sick bay and barricade yourselves there!" Commanded Mosquito as he went to the 2 sisters.

"Yang, can you fight?" Mosquito asked Yang, regarding to her recent shocking experience.

"Y-Yeah, I think I can" Yang stuttered, she was still shaken, but she was able to steel herself.

"What about you?" Asked Lightning.

"I'm going to defend our home with the rest of our men" Said Mosquito with determination.

Lightning nodded, then she proceeded to take Yang to the Sick bay.

"Is anyone here unable to move?!" Lightning asked to the injured MSF soldiers.

"We can walk, but some of us can't walk faster" Said one of the MSF soldiers.

"I see. Have them tended and carry them to the Sick Bay!" Commanded Lightning as she carried Yang's left arm on her shoulder.

"Hey Yang, Lightning!" Mosquito called them again.

They turned around to see Mosquito holding 2 weapons. He threw them and the 2 sisters caught them. It revealed to be Yang's CAW and Lightning's sword.

"Our weapons! How did you get-"

"One of our R&D team had in development a fulton wormhole prototype. I'll explain the rest of it once we finished this matter" Mosquito explained.

Yang and Lightning were surprised, but they nodded and resumed to what they were told to do.

Mosquito then turned to the rest of the MSF soldiers.

"Everyone else, with me!" Mosquito commanded as he sprinted to their battle station, with Akio, David and the other MSF soldiers following him.

…

In the Britannian flagship, an hour later, now night time

…

Marrybelle Mel Britannia the 88th Princess of Britannia, the daughter of Emperor Charles zi Britannia and Flora mel Britannia, Marrybell was born as a Princess of the Holy Britannian Empire. She had a younger sister named Julia, and was friends with Oldrin Zevon from the Zevon noble family that lived nearby the castle where the mel Britannia were staying.

One day, Marrybell's happy life changed when a young boy visited with what he claimed was a present for her mother. As Flora had friends in all classes, Marrybell invited the boy into the castle, where his present was revealed to be a bomb. While Marrybell survived, both her mother and younger sister died in the burning castle. This horrible experience gave shape to Marrybell's wish to rid the world of terrorism.

Ever since the incident of hostage taking at the Kawaguchi Hotel and the debut of the Order of the Black Knights and their leader Zero, she formed, although very recent, the Glinda Knights to fight against terrorism, but when the mercenary nation called Militaires San Frontieres also known as Outer Heaven and their great founder Big Boss, things went from bad to worse, their skirmish at E.U. got harder and they were forced to retreat for the 5th time. Her childhood friend and Honorable Knight, Oldrin Zevon was able to fight them back while retreating her team.

Oldrin Zevon, she was born into the noble Zevon family, but left and joined the military when the family was about to be taken over by her uncle Oiaguro. As a traditional noble, she has a lot of noble pride, but she is also a hard-worker. She is conflicted between her aristocratic belief that "the people should be protected" and her duty of suppressing terrorism caused by those very people. However, her conviction to "protect the smiling faces of the weak" is enough of a reason for her to fight, her goal is to become a "true knight".

Long time ago her parents had prepared for a Royal Marriage to the Heir of Nightwolf Family when they were just kids since it was part of aristocrat system, She and the Nightwolf heir were close friends together with Monica Kruvshevsky, who is also part of her family plans for Royal Marriage. Some time later, they fell in love, but after the annihilation of the Nightwolf Family 10 years ago, they decide to forget everything about it and Marrybell was glad that they were gone so she could pick Oldrin as her Honorable Knight.

But there were now rumors about the Red Knightmare that made the Euro-Britannia Army and Holy Order of Gabriel a total nightmare that one cannot wake up from their sleep. Not the Red Ace from Black Knights, the one who pilots Guren II, but the other Red Knightmare who is known as 'The Ghost of Nightwolf' the machine that it's looks like Veltro Nightwolf's medieval armor. Claiming that the Knightmare was possessed by the vengeful souls of Nightwolf Family, Marrybell was losing attention from her Knight Oldrin. she was busy investigating if the Heir of Nightwolf was alive and that is why the 88th Princess managed to request her father for another Knight of Round this time. She will do everything to end this 'Ghost' so Oldrin will have her attention again and no one or anyone will have her, but for now she will avenge the death of her sister Cornelia Li Britannia and a battle to finish… the End of Outer Heaven.

Grandberry Newly Build Caerleon Class Floating Battleship Bridge
…

Marrybell was on her throne like chair at the bridge. Finally, after waiting for an opportunity to end the mercenary nation, she stands up and then walk to the center of the bridge for her speech.

Her army counted almost a million units. They were consisted of 40 percent of Britannia's mainland army, while the other 60 percent were all from Euro- Britannia.

From Britannia, most of its forces were air forces, naval forces and Knightmares, as well as 2 Knights of Rounds she requested, The Knight of One, Bismarck Waldstein, and the Knight of Four, Dorothea Ernst.

For Euro-Britannia, they brought almost all their military forces, including the Knights of Euro-Britannia.

The Knights of Euro-Britannia who are participating were: Holy Order of Michael, led by Michele Manfredi and his subordinate Shin Hyuga Shaing.

Holy Order of Gabriel, led by the ruthless Grand Master, Gaudefroy de Villon.

Lastly, the Holy Order of Uriel, led by the Grand Master, Raymond du Saint-Gilles.

Andrea Farnese and his knights, the Holy Order of Raphael, stayed behind in the Europia United with the Grand Duke, Augusta Henry Highland, in order to maintain control in case there were riots or rebellion in Euro-Britannia.

"Honorable Knights of Euro-Britannia" Marrybell begins her speech, all the crew were watching her.

"This is the 88th Imperial Princess of the Holy Britannian Empire and the Leader of the Glynda Knights, Marrybell Mel Britannia!"

Every crew and the Glynda Knights team listened to her speech.

"My sister Princess Cornelia li Britannia tried to wipe out the terrorist in Area Eleven, but-" the 88th Princess she closed her eyes

"The Black Knights and the mercenary nation, Militaires San Frontieres...Zero and Big Boss...destroyed that opportunity and killed my sister. But we stand prevailed! Our Empire is fighting the Black Knights, their Black Rebellion at Area 11. Now is our chance to attack our target, Outer Heaven!"

This time they were well prepared and have more advanced Knightmares with Float Units, with more trained soldiers in order to fight the veteran mercenaries.

"We may have failed our first invasion with my brother Prince Schneizel but now this is different" Marrybelle brings out her Britannia Family sword then points at the screen that shows MSF's Mother base.

"We built more advanced Knightmares, high grade equipment's, more ships with Float Units and finally trained our soldiers so hard to par up those blood thirsty mercenaries armed to the teeth, our failure became our strength and finally we became more powerful, GLYNDA KNIGHTS!"

Every crew from her ship and the Glinda Knights pilots stood up with their fist at their chest including other fleet that follows her, Marrybelle raised her sword.

"COMPLETE ANNILATION!" the Princess shouts still continuing her speech.

"We will sweep the terrorism infesting this earth and the gun for hire soldiers that are bathing with money with our brooms of steel and crush the seeds of violence wherever they sprout! ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!"

*ALL HAIL BRITANNIA* ALL HAIL BRITANNIA* *ALL HAIL BRITANNIA*

…
Meanwhile in Mother Base
…

Everyone hurried to their stations. Miller, Hideo and the staff members in the command center issued an emergency alarm and alerted everyone about a new invasion.

Gregory and Eliza went to the hangar to prepare their own respective soldiers, terrain and naval.

Adalhelm and Zangief went to the west side of Mother Base where the Britannian fleet was coming from, specifically the mission support struts.

Cornelio went to defend the struts of the living quarters and get the MSF soldiers ready.

Zi Dien was told to leave Mother Base quickly due to the danger of the new invasion of Britannia. Zi Dien complied and was escorted by 4 MSF soldiers to the helipad. Zi Dien also asked Miller on taking Orpheus back to Peace Mark, saying that they can figure out why Orpheus was behaving like this.

Miller was doubtful about it, but because of the Euro-Britannian army are on his doorsteps, he had no time for this, so he accepted Zi Dien suggestion.

With that, Zi Dien and Orpheus were now out of Mother Base.

As for the civilian staff members, Miller issued an evacuation of staff members. The scientists and civilian staffs are to be evacuated while the soldiers and any capable combat staff members stays to hold the Euro-Britannians.

"What's the status of Mother Base?!" Asked Miller.

"We sustained heavy damages on the Living Quarters and the Support struts, as well as the connecting bridges! R&D bridges were damaged, but not the main struts!" Informed one of the staff members.

Miller gritted his teeth, realizing what they were doing. They stopped firing their artilleries after bombing those struts where many of their soldiers are located and left the R&D struts intact, just so they can take away any technology they developed.

"I'd be dead if I let those bastards take any of OUR technology" Miller thought in anger.

"How many troops we currently have?" Asked Miller.

"We currently have 700.000 members in ours base, the other 300.000 are currently outside of Mother Base, mainly in the hidden MSF bases or on their assignment!"

"I see. Hideo, how much longer will it take for Zeke to be deployed?" Miller asked, hoping that Zeke would be ready.

"It needs 1 and a half hour in order to reboot all functions. We can still deploy Zeke, but the nuclear warhead will be inaccessible!" Informed Hideo.

Miller groaned in frustration, he then started to think over it again.

"How long until Zeke can be deployed without counting the nuke?" Asked Miller.

Hideo checked on the computer and the result popped out on the screen.

"20 minutes in order to prepare Zeke!" Informed Hideo.

"Very well. Have all our men in their battle stations!" Ordered Miller.

"Yes, sir!"

Few moments later, Most of MSF forces arrived to the struts and bridges of the Mission Supports, Living Quarters, the west side of the Hangar and the R&D.

Mosquito and his forces were stationed on the Mission Support strut and bridges, Adalhelm and his Werewolf Corps and MSF soldiers were on route to the R&D, Cornelio and his soldiers on the Living Quarters, and lastly, Zangief, his soldiers, along with Alpha team and Bravo Team were on the Hangar.

Gregory reunited his Forgotten Knights and are on their way to reinforce them.

Eliza prepared her fleets for naval attack while also issuing the evacuation through ships.

MSF air forces were also preparing their aircrafts to provide air support and evacuations on the hangars.

They all felt uneasy due to the events that happened in Mother Base and that it was all part of the enemy's plan. But whether they fail or emerge victorious, they will fight against Euro-Britannia with their own resolve to protect their Mother Base, their home.

…

Back to the struts

…

The time had come as Britannian aircrafts charged.

All the MSF forces remained steady, waiting for the moment to unload all their firepower.

"Steady" Said Mosquito through his comm to everyone.

A few moments later, the aircrafts were now on range.

"FIRE!"

With that, All the MSF forces fired at the Britannian aircrafts.

"Incoming!"

The Britannians started to dodge the missile launchers and artillery.

While some of the aircrafts were gunned down, many were able to dodge and survive, hence Marrybell's claim of having their soldiers trained to become professionals.

"Damn, they are pretty good" Commented Mosquito, seeing how many aircrafts were able to survive.

Soon enough, the Britannian air combat forces were on top of the struts of the Living Quarters, the Mission Supports and the west Hangar.

While MSF forces were repelling with ease with the Britannian aircrafts now that they were on close range, Britannian VTOL Knightmare transports and Air Force Troop Transports were deployed and are now on their way to the struts.

Amongst the Knightmare transports, were the Ashley's Strike Force "Asura Team", along with troops and Knightsmares of the Holy Order of Uriel.

The leader of the Asura Team, Ashley Ashra, was looking with anticipation and excitement on fighting these mercenaries. After he saw Big Boss revealing his mercenary nation to the world, he couldn't help but feel the thrill of fighting this man. Since Ashley believes that he has a huge abundant of luck, he believed that he can emerge victorious against the so called "Legendary soldier"

"Master Ashley, we will be arriving soon, we should get ready!" Informed one of the members of the Asura Team, Johanne.

Ashley just scoffed.

"Like I need to. Luck is always on my side!" Remarked Ashely with an overconfident tone.

On the west Hangar, MSF soldiers, Knightmares, tanks and armored vehicles were shooting at the Britannian aricrafts.

The situation wasn't faring well as the Britannian aircrafts were surrounding the hangar, leaving no opening for the MSF forces to attack.

Zangief, Alpha Team and Bravo Team were holding their position while trying to barricade the area of the hangar with the destroyed armored vehicles.

"Comrades, take cover behind the barricade quickly!" Commanded Zangief to MSF soldiers as well as the MSF Knightmares.

Many were quickly behind the barricade and continued to fire at the aircrafts.

They were able to repel several aircrafts, but they were also under attack by the Britannian naval fleet.

*BOOM!*

An explosion blows up close to a group of MSF soldiers.

"AAAAHHHH!"

"Man down!"

Some of the MSF soldiers perished from the explosion.

Alpha team quickly went out to help the survivors while Bravo Team covered them.

The tanks fired at the ships. They managed to sink a few, but many of the artillery ships were out of the tank's range.

"Take cover, comrades!" Shouted Zangief as he saw more missiles coming.

Alpha Team, Bravo team and the rest of the MSF soldiers quickly hid behind armored vehicles and braced for the impact.

*BOOM!*

During this chaotic mess, the Air Force Troops and the Asura Team's transports landed on the hangar.

"Alright, boys! Time to have some fun!" Shouted Ashley in glee.

"Yes, my lord!" Shouted all the members of the Asura Team.

With that, the Asura Teams Knightmare charged at the MSF forces, with the Euro-Britannia troops foolowing them behind.

"Those Knightmares are new" Zangief thought, taking notice of the unique colors of the Asura Team.

"Look out! Here they come!" Shouted Zangief, spotting the Euro-Britannian forces.

"Kill them all!" Ashley shouted.

On the Living Quarter struts, Cornelio and the rest of the MSF forces were taking cover behind the buildings and firing back at the Britannian aircrafts.

"There's too many!" Commented Cornelio as he continued firing at the Britannian VTOL's.

*BOOM!*

Several Britannian VTOL's exploded as they fell to the ground of the struts.

"Sir! Enemy troopers sighted!" Said one of the MSF soldiers.

Cornelio then saw that Britannian transports landed on the struts and unloaded troopers and Knightmares.

"Damn it, hold the line!" Shouted Cornelio as they kept firing at the enemy.

A small group of MSF soldiers arrived to Cornelio and his group with 3 Rail Guns.

"Cornelio sir! Cover us while we prepare the Rail Guns!" Spoke one of the MSF soldiers.

"Understood!" Cornelio nodded.

*RRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEERRR*

The MSF soldiers started to charge the Rail Gun while the gunners aimed at the enemy. One at a Knightmare, one at a group and another on a VTOL.

"FIRE!"

*BAM!*

The Rail Gun fired at the enemy.

*BOOM!*

The VTOL and the Knightmare blew up on impact.

"AAAAAHHH!" The Britannian soldiers screamed as the rail gun impacted them.

"Shoot them down!" The remaining Britannian soldiers shouted, with that they started to fire at them, prompting Cornelio and the rest to fire back.

"Gregory, where are you?! I need some help here!" Spoke Cornelio through his comm.

"I'm almost there!" Replied Gregory.

Meanwhile on the R&D bridge, Adalhelm and his Werewolf corps were shooting at the Britannian forces who are stationed in there.

"Those scums managed to get into the R&D!" Cursed Adalhelm as he tried to contact the MSF soldiers who were told to stay behind to guard the R&D.

"Guys, what's your status in there?! Come in!" Shouted Adalhelm to Kane's scientists

"S..ir! I… receive you!" Replied the voice of Sam as the contact was established.

"Sam? Where the hell have you been?!" Said Adalhelm in surprise.

"It's a long story, but we are currently engaging the enemy! Air Force Troop transports landed on the sides of the struts and are trying to get in!" Said Sam in an alarmed tone.

"Can you hold them off?! We are on the connecting bridge of the R&D, but the explosion blew it off. We can't extract you guys for now, but we can provide support as much as we can!"

"Understood! We will hold the R&D, but hurry up!"

With that, the comm was turned off as Adalhelm and his group continued firing at them.

While the VTOL Gunships were firing at those struts, more VTOL Gunships and Britannian Jet fighters flew past those struts to attack the command center and other main struts.

Miller and the rest of the staff saw the jest coming to them.

"Enemy aircrafts incoming!" Shouted one of the staff members.

*TRATATATATATAA!*

Miller and the rest got down to the floor as the jet fighters fired their machine guns through the windows.

The 10 MSF soldiers who are inside the Command Center leaned to the windows and started to take aim at the incoming VTOL Gunships.

"Miller-san! I've received words from Eliza! The first evac ships have been deployed!" Informed Hideo.

"Good! I trust that Eliza sent a few of her ships to guard them!" Replied Miller as he got an assault rifle from one of the hidden compartments.

"She did, Miller-san!" Hideo confirmed it.

…

With the Britannians, in the Grandberry

…

Inside the Grandberry, Marrybell sat on her throne as she watched through the screen. She had now ordered a frontal attack against those struts while also sending stealth forces to attack MSF.

On the control panels of the Granberry, one of the staffs spoke.

"Princess, we scanned the whole area and we found something. It appears that there are many MSF ships leaving the area!"

Marrybell put a hand on her chin as she thought about it.

"They must be trying to evacuate their base… Sent the Holy Order of Gabriel, along with a few forces of the Holy Order of Michael to intercept them! None of them shall escape!"

"Yes, your highness!"

With that, Marrybell sent part of her fleet to the other side.

…

With Eliza in her flagship

…

Eliza looked at the radar on her flagship's main room. She was monitoring the evacs process while repelling any enemy forces trying to intercept.

10 ships were deployed, carrying 500 staff members, along with 100 MSF soldiers on board and the ships were being escorted by 5 of Eliza's battleships in order to protect them.

Eliza then noticed a large group of naval fleets approaching, just as she expected.

"Attention, Tyrador 1! Enemy ships are on their way to your position!" Informed Eliza.

"Understood, commander! We are ready to cover the ships!" Replied the captain who is one of Eliza's trusted naval captains.

"Good, I'll be with you after the third evac!" Said Eliza as she turned off the comm.

The captain looked at the enemy ships and then ordered the attack.

"Open fire! We need to buy time for the ships to escape!"

"Yes, sit!"

With that, the MSF ships fired at the enemy ships.

In the west Hangar, Hind D's, Krokodils, VTOL's and Air Force Heavy Cargo Planes were being boarded by staff members, along with some MSF soldiers.

"They are ready to go!" Informed one of the MSF soldiers to the control room.

"Go, now!" Said one of the operators.

10 Hind D's, 15 Krokodils, 20 VTOL's and 4 Air Force Heavy Cargo Planes started to fly.

"Enemy jet fighters incoming!" Shouted an operator through the comm.

"Shit! Someone, neutralize them, otherwise they'll blow those ships!" Said another MSF operator through the comm with an alarmed tone.

"We'll do it!" Replied an MSF soldier in the hangar, with 5 more with him.

"Quickly!"

With that, they quickly went outside.

"Prepare your XFIM-92!" Said the MSF soldier to his comrades.

10 of them prepared their XFIM and took aim.

"FIRE!"

They fired their XFIM's and took out several VTOL's

"It's clear, now go!" Shouted an MSF soldier through his comm to the operator.

Moments later, the MSF aircrafts started to depart.

The operator then contacted to Miller.

"Commander Miller, the first wave of evac has departed!"

"Good, how many transports remains in Mother Base?' Asked Miller.

"There's still plenty here, sir! I estimate that we need 2 hours in order to evacuate all personals!" Informed the operator.

"Double your efforts! The Britannians are attacking with full strength!" Replied Miller.

"We'll do all we can, commander!"

Back with Zangief and his soldiers in the hangar, they are having a tough time against the Britannians while still barricaded with the armored vehicles. Not only they are fighting against Britannian air supports, but also Euro-Britannia soldiers and the special force, the Asura Team.

Zangief gritted his teeth. No matter where he looks, they were completely surrounded by the Britannians and they were throwing everything onto them.

"Alpha and Bravo Team! I need a 2-parallel formation around our forces! We are going to retreat to the bridges and hold them there!

"Understood!"

Zangief and the rest opened fire, letting Alpha and Bravo time to get out from the barricade.

Once outside, they started to open fire at the Britannian soldiers.

The enemy took cover behind the debris that were scattered around.

"What the hell are they doing?" Asked one of the members of the Asura Force, Jan Manes.

"Looks like they are trying to retreat!" Replied another member, Simon Mericourt.

"Concentrate all your fire!" Shouted the other member of the force, Kuzan Montoban.

Everyone started to pour more firepower on Alpha and Bravo team.

They quickly hid behind a building with all the terrain forces focused on them.

"Commander Zangief, now's your chance!" Said Armadillo from Alpha Team.

Zangief nodded. He turned his sight to one of his soldiers and let out his hand to reach a particular gun.

The Britannians kept firing at Alpha and Bravo team, not taking notice of Zangief and the rest of the MSF forces since they are being taken care of by the aircrafts.

Zangief suddenly leap out from the barricades with 2 MG3 on hands.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Zangief roared as he fired the 2 MG3 at the Britannians.

*TRATATATATATATAT!*

The piercing bullets of the MG3 penetrated the debris, causing the bullets to hit the Britannians.

"Shit! Aaah!" Shouted a Britannian soldier as the bullets hit him.

"Fall back!" Shouted another Britannian.

But as they tried to retreat, many fell due to the sheer power of the MG3. The Asura Force and the other Britannians quickly retreated.

Zangief turned around to see the MSF forces taking down the aircrafts while also providing him supporting fire.

"All MSF forces, move to the bridge now! I'll handle them!" Shouted Zangief as he continued to shoot at the Britannian soldiers hiding behind the buildings.

With that, all MSF forces started to retreat.

Ashley saw them retreating, causing him to feel infuriated.

"You are not escaping from me!" Ashely then charged at them.

"Lord Ashley!" Shouted one of his closest members, Johanne.

Zangief was able to see a red Sutherland charging at them, so he decided to aim the MG3's at him.

"UUUUURAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Zangief roared.

Ashley grinned at the bullets coming straight to him and wasn't worried a bit since he trusted his own luck.

He used his Gloucester Swordsman sword to block and slash the bullets. Despites the speed of the MG3, Ashley managed to block them all.

"Luck is on my side!" Shouted Ashley.

"Damn, looks like I have to do this in the old fashion way" Said Zangief as he threw away the now empty MG3 and prepared himself to face against the Knightmare… by himself.

"You are a dead man!" Shouted Ashley as he was about to slash downward at Zangief.

"UURAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Zangief roared while charging at the red Gloucester.

Zangief then delivered a powerful punch to the left leg of Ashley's Knightmare.

"What the hell?!" Said Ashley in amazement when his Knightmare stumbled. On his screen, he couldn't believe at what he was seeing, the gigantic man was pulling up his Knightmare's leg and he felt how his Knightmare was losing balance.

Ashley was not going to give up, so he decided to move his Knightmare forward in order to squash Zangief.

Zangief let out a smirk while his muscles showed veins.

"Don't think that these muscles are just for show!" Shouted Zangief as he used all his strength to push the Knightmare.

"UUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Zangief managed to push the Ashley Knightmare's and caused it to fall to the ground.

"N-No way!" Said Ashely in shock as his Knightmare fell down.

"Lord Ashley!" Johanne and the rest of the Asura forces shouted as they charged while firing at Zangief.

Zangief quickly ran to the bridges seeing that everyone managed to get there.

"Lord Ashley, are you alright?!" Said Johanne in concern as his Knightmare tried to lift Ashley's Knightmare.

"Ugh, I'm fine!" Scoffed Ashley as he got up.

"It's just that I have never seen in my life such capable man!" Added Ashley, a bit of his pride hurt.

"Lord Ashley! Seeing as how the Militaire Sans Frontieres soldiers retreated to those bridges, we can set a foothold in this hangar!" Spoke Simon.

"Very well, inform the princess that we have secured the hangar!" Replied Ashley.

"Yes, my lord!"

Back in the Living Quarters, Cornelio and the rest of the MSF soldiers continued fighting against the Britannian forces.

"Signore Miller, how is the evacuation? I'm not sure we can hold the living quarters much longer, there are too many of them!" Spoke Cornelio.

"We still haven't reached half of our staff members! Sorry Cornelio, but you'll have to keep them occupied for a longer time!" Replied Miller.

"How long do you need, Miller?!" Asked Cornelio as he unloaded his rifle and continued firing.

"They estimated 2 hours for the complete evac!" Replied Miller.

"Understood, I may possibly hold them a bit longer!" Said Cornelio as he thought on how to stall them longer.

Suddenly, bullets flew past him and started to hit many VTOL's and Britannian terrain forces.

Cornelio and the rest turned around to see that Gregory and the Forgotten Knights had arrived in their Knightmares.

"Gregory! Good to see you made it in time!" Said Cornelio in relief.

"Don't mention it, you and the rest were having a pretty rough time!" Said Gregory.

Then, Gregory and the Forgotten Knights charged forward against the Britannians.

In the Mission Support struts, Mosquito and his soldiers were losing ground as more and more Britannian forces arrived.

Mosquito fired his MX5 at the enemy, taking down several Britannian Knightmares. But due to huge army of Britannians, they started to run out of ammo.

Mosquito looked around to see his comrades also running out of ammo, with just 2 cartridges each soldier.

"Damnit, looks like there is no other choice" Thought Mosquito.

"Fall back to the bridges! Fall back!" Commanded Mosquito.

MSF armored vehicles and Knightmares quickly started to move and fire at the Britannians, giving the MSF soldiers time to retreat.

Meanwhile in the sea, the Tyrador 1 and the other MSF ships managed to repelled the Britannian navy forces, allowing more MSF ships to pass the sea.

A bit far away, 4 Caerleon Class and 2 Logres Class from the Holy Order of Michael and Holy Order of Gabriel, along with 4 Aircraft Carriers, 20 Destroyers, and 2 Dreadnought, stood watch.

Inside one of the main Caerleon Class, the Grand Master of the Holy Order of Gabriel, Gaudefroy de Villon, looked in anger at the failed interception. He was expecting those ones to be competent, but they failed to his expectation.

"Those useless captains!" Seethed Gaudefroy.

Then he received a communication from the Grand Master of Holy Order of Michael, Michele Manfredi.

"Lord Gaudefroy!" Spoke Michele.

"What do you need, Michele?! Can't you see that we are busy here!" Shouted Gaudefroy in anger.

"Watch your tone, Lord Gaudefroy! Being angry won't help our situation!" Retorted Michele, the last thing he wants is one of the Grand Masters behaving like a spoiled child.

Shin was looking at the screen, witnessing the attack of Mother Base. He didn't show it, but he was enjoying the chaotic battle occurring in Mother Base. His comrades against the most powerful mercenaries in the world, he could not wait to join the fight and see how everyone around dies.

…

Meanwhile in the sea, close to Mother Base.

…

A large group of MSF aircrafts reached to Mother Base. Big Boss and his team were inside Big Boss's own personal chopper driven by Morpho, behind his chopper, was a VTOL carrying Big Boss Knightmare. Due to the urgency, they didn't have enough time to load all MSF Knightmares, leaving only one available. So, they decided that this one would carry Big Boss's Knightmare.

With Amanda and her group, they departed to use their own aircraft. While Amanda, Chico, Dafne, Akira and the MSF soldiers remained together in the same chopper, Liz and Shira used their own customed Jet air fighter with 2 pilot sits.

Kane got inside an MSF jet fighter and was on his way to get his Knightmare, which is located in the east Hangar.

"Boss, look!" Morpho called to Big Boss.

Big Boss quickly went to the door of the chopper and opened. He then saw the large Britannian forces that were brought here to invade again, with many struts from the Living Quarters, Mission Support, R&D and the west Hangar being invaded. He also spotted a large Caerleon Floating Battleship close to the Mission Support struts and deduced it to be one where the main commander is.

"Morpho, can you establish a private contact with that Caerleon Floating Battleship?" Asked Big Boss.

"Yes, Boss!"

…

In the Grandberry

…

"Your Highness, we are receiving a private comm from the enemy!" Spoke one of the operators, who is also a member of the Glinda Knights, Toto Thompson.

Marrybell frowned, not really wanting to speak with anyone from MSF, but she was also feeling curious on what they wanted to talk about.

After a few seconds, she decided to humor whoever was contacting.

"Patch it through" Said Marrybell.

Toto accepted the transmission as the screen showed a window without visuals, only voice.

"This is Marrybell Mel Britannia, 88th Imperial Princess of the Holy Britannian Empire and the Leader of the Glynda Knights! To whom am I speaking with?" Spoke Marrybell firmly.

"Princess Marrybell, this is Big Boss" Spoke Big Boss.

This caught everyone by surprise, especially Marrybell since no one expected Big Boss himself to contact them.

"Well, well, if it isn't the "Legendary Soldier" himself" Said Marrybell with a condescending tone.

"Princess Marrybell, I demand to know why you are attacking my base!" Said Big Boss with a demanding tone.

"Is it not obvious? I'm finishing what my brother Schneizel started… Complete annihilation of Outer Heaven!" Replied Marrybell.

"I warned your brother what I would do if anyone from Britannia decides to invade my home again." Said Big Boss with a slight anger.

"Whatever you said to my brother Schneizel remains with him. I'm different from him. I won't let a bunch of mercenary terrorist roam around the world free, fighting for whoever they are getting paid."

Big Boss felt disappointed. After he showed mercy to Britannian so many times, they still want to terminate his mercenary nation.

He then spoke with a dangerous tone.

"This is your last warning, Marrybell mel Britannia, turn around your army and leave this place while I still allow it! If you continue with this, I will use lethal force against you!"

Marrybell didn't want to admit it, but she felt intimidated by Big Boss, but her vision of cleansing the world of terrorism clouded her mind.

"I will not! This is my opportunity to destroy your mercenary nation! I won't stop until every single one of you are dead!" Barked Marrybell.

"… So be it" That was all Big Boss said as the private comm was turned off.

Everyone inside the bridge of the Grandberry felt nervous, unsure if what Marrybell said was the correct choice.

Marrybell then turned her sight to the 2 Knights of Round.

"Bismarck, Dorothea! It's your turn!"

"Yes, my lady!" Bismarck and Dorothea spoke in unison.

"Glinda Knights!" Marrybell stood up from her throne.

She then waved her right hand to the right side.

"It's time!"

…

Back with Big Boss

…

Big Boss turned on his comm to all MSF soldiers who are with him.

"This is Big Boss. I want to inform that the Britannians won't stop their onslaught against us. You are all allowed to use lethal force and no need to hold back!"

With that proclamation, everyone with him is ready to show the might of the soldiers of Big Boss.

Shira and Liz, along with a few MSF jet fighters, flew straight to the Command Center where there were VTOL gunships shooting.

"Time to show Britannia what the Lions of Khalahari are made of!" Shouted Shira as she thrusted forward the controls of the jet fighter.

Miller and the rest were currently taking cover from the VTOL gunships firing at them.

Miller, armed with an MSX6, peaked from the console controls and fired at the VTOL gunships.

*TRATATATATATA!*

*BOOM!*

The VTOL gunship exploded and fell, but more appeared, prompting him to take cover again.

"There is no end to these ships!" Said Miller as he reloaded his rifle.

*TRATATATATATA!*

*BOOOM!*

The VTOL gunships suddenly exploded, causing everyone inside to peak. Just then, a high speed jet fighter flew past them.

"Kept you guys waiting, huh?" Spoke Shira through Miller's.

"Shira?!" Said Miller in surprise.

"Yep, along with the calvary!"

Miller looked outside and far away he saw a contingent force of MSF aircrafts approaching.

"Kaz! You there?" Suddenly spoke Big Boss.

"Boss! Glad you made it in time!" Said Miller with a happy tone.

"Wish we could celebrate, but we've got a lot to do" Said Big Boss.

"Yeah, the situation got dire here. I've just received reports that the Mission Support struts and the west hangar are lost, and we are about to lose the Living Quarters as well! The R&D strut are fortunately being protected by our soldiers, but it's only a matter of time before the Britannians take it over" Miller informed.

"How's the evacuation?" Big Boss asked.

"We managed to evacuate half of our staff members, boss"

"Boss, you also need to know, Zeke's nuclear warhead is out of commission. Before this invasion started, the intruders managed to upload a virus into the main terminal and damaged not only Zeke, but the AI weapons and our defenses" Said Miller.

Big Boss let out a sigh while trying to process everything he just heard.

"No matter, we work with what we've got" said Big Boss.

"One good news is that Zeke is still capable to function normally without the nuke.

Big Boss nodded.

"Alright. I'll be there soon, Kaz" Said Big Boss as he disconnected his comm.
Meanwhile with Kane, he reached to R&D. With his jet fighter, he fired its turrets at the Britannians.

Adalhelm and the MSF forces on the bridges looked in surprise at the sudden arrival.

"Who's…" Adalhelm wondered, using his monocle, the images zoomed to the jet fire, allowing him to see that it was Kane.

"That son of a bitch" Adalhelm chuckled, happy that reinforcements have arrived.

Kane then contacted Sam through his comm.

"Sam, Sam! You there?!" Asked Kane.

"Kane, is that you? Oh thank god!" Spoke Sam in relief.

"Is my Veltro ready in there? I need it now!" Asked Kane.

"It is, Kane. But how are you going to get here? There a too many Britannians here!" Said Sam in concern.

"Don't worry, Sam. I know my way. Just have it ready!"

Kane turned off his comm, then he maneuvered the jet fighter and quickly shot at the Britannians.

*TRATATATATATATA!*

Kane opened fire at the Britannians.

"Shit, Ru- AAHH!" One Britannian soldier didn't finish as bullets hit him.

The remaining Britannians decided to fire at the jet fighter, but the bullets only managed to bounce off the jet's windows.

In a matter of seconds, everything was clear.

Kane landed the jet on the R&D struts. Once he got out, he saw from the destroyed bridge Adalhelm and the MSF soldiers.

"Yo, Kane!" Greeted Adalhelm

"Adalhelm! See that you can evacuate all our scientist staff members! Big Boss has arrived with several choppers, so we can have some of those sent here for immediate evac!" Spoke Kane.

"Understood! What will you do?!" Asked Adalhelm.

"I'm getting my Knightmare and try to fight the Euro-Britannians!"

"Alright! Best of luck! Also, while you are at it, try to wipe out all the data of the R&D! Miller does not with for the Britannians to get any access to our technology! Don't worry about it, our scientists managed to get the backup data!"

"Got it!" Kane nodded as he sprinted to the R&D building.

…

Meanwhile in the MSF Sick Bay

…

In the Sick Bay, all the doctors and medics hurried to evacuate the patients. A total of 20 MSF Hind D's had already arrived to the Medical Struts landing zones with 3 Air Force Transports landed on the helipads.

While they were hurrying to the transports, Yang, Lightning and several MSF soldiers were outside protecting them in case the Britannians attack them.

"This transport is already full!"

"Make way!"

"We need more supplies here!"

The MSF medics spoke to each other.

Yang was being more vigilant, despite still shaken at the incident.

"Yang, you ok?"

Yang jerked up and turned her head to see that it was Lightning.

"Y-Yeah"

"You sure?" Asked Lightning in concern.

"Yep" Yang said with a smile.

"Commander Yang!"

Yang and Lightning turned to the left to see their soldiers from the Flying Dragons.

"We've come here as fast as we could!" Said one of the soldiers.

"Good, form a perimeter around the med bay! We need to give our staff members time" Commanded Lightning.

"Ye-"

*BAM!*

Suddenly the soldier fell down from the impact of a bullet to his left abdomen.

Yang, Lightning and everyone around looked in shock.

From one of the buildings that leads to the lower section of the struts, emerged Britannian soldiers.

"Enemy spotted!" Shouted an MSF soldier, waking up everyone.

Yang's shocked face turned into anger as she focused her shotgun at them.

"How dare you!" Shouted Yang as she and the rest started to shoot at them.

"Hurry up with the evacuation!" Shouted Lightning.

The medical staff members then increased their pace as they loaded the transports.

The Hind D's took action and began shooting at the Britannians.

"Incoming enemy VTOL!" Shouted one of the pilots in the Hind D as their radar showed a large group of VTOL gunships arriving.

With that, more than half of the Hind D's turned their attention to the enemy air support.

…

Mission Support struts

…

The Knight of Four, Dorothea Ernst, arrived on her prototype Knightmare, a Ahuramazda, along with several squadrons of Britannian troops and Knightmares.

"All Britannian forces! Concentrate all your fire at those bridges! We are going to pull them back!" Commanded Dorothea as her Knightmare charged to the bridge.

Her Knightmare consisted of 2 gatling guns with 4 barrels, each mounted on its arms. She aimed at the bridge and rained bullets at the MSF forces.

"Take cover!" Shouted Mosquito as everyone hid behind the walls of the bridge.

But the powerful gatling gun of the Knightmare managed to obliterate the walls.

"AAAHH!" Several MSF soldiers perished due to the monstruous firepower of the Ahuramazda.

"No!" Shouted Mosquito in rage. He quickly peeked and tried to shoot that Knightmare, but its armor was very thick.

Dorothea saw on her screen Mosquito firing at her, so she redirected her aim.

Mosquito continued shooting, but once he saw that Knightmare aim at him, he quickly took cover.

*TRATATATATATA!*

"UGH!" Mosquito grunted as the bullets grazed his right arm, causing him to fall down while holding his injured arm.

"Mosquito!" Shouted David who was behind him. Akio quickly went to their side and fired his MX5 at Dorothea's Knightmare. It seems to cause a bit of damage, but it wasn't enough.

"Burn like the dogs you are!" Shouted Dorothea as she continued to fire at them.

Suddenly, bullets started to rain down on her and the Britannian forces.

*TRATATATATATA!*

"What?!" Said Dorothea in surprise and looked up to see who it was shooting her.

It was a Krokodil chopper with the door open, inside there, stood Big Boss with his MX5.

"Big Boss…" Said Dorothea, focused on the mercenary leader. She then aimed her Knightmare's gatling gun at him.

"Die!" Shouted Dorothea as she pressed the trigger.

*TRATATATATATATA!*

Every Knightmare aimed at Morpho's helicopter and started to shoot at it.

"Hold on, Boss!" Said Morpho as he started to circle around the strut while avoiding the bullets.

Big Boss aimed at the Knightmares and began to fire at them.

Incredibly enough, 15 Knightmares were shot down when Big Boss aimed at them.

"Impossible!" Dorothea exclaimed, not believing that Big Boss was capable to destroy 15 Knightmares with nothing but a rifle.

Thanks to the distraction, the MSF Knightmares and soldiers ran past the bridge and fired back.

"Damn it!" Dorothea cursed for being distracted. She aimed her Knightmare's gatling guns and fired at the MSF forces.

Big Boss continued firing his MX5 at the Britannians, leaving only a few. Using this opportunity, he spoke to Morpho.

"Now's the time for my Knightmare, Morpho!"

"Understood!" Morpho then contacted the VTOL carrying his Knightmare.

Soon, the VTOL approached the struts and lowered SNAKE.

Morpho lowered the Krokodil behind the cockpit of SNAKE, allowing him to jump to the opened cockpit and enter.

Soon enough, his Knightmare came to life, with the Patriot on hand.

*TRATATATATATATA!*

Big Boss fired the Patriot, hitting many Knightmares.

Morpho started to fly to the Command Center, with Veg looking through he opened door and rifle on hand.

"Guess I'll try my best" Veg muttered as he loaded the rifle and began firing at the Britannians

Dorothea saw Big Boss unleashing his rifle on her soldiers, so she retreated her Knightmare and decided to focus on Big Boss.

"Die, Big Boss!" Shouted Dorothea.

Big Boss turned his Knightmare to see the Ahuramazda gatling guns aimed at him.

He quickly thrusted his Knightmare's control to the left, causing his Knightmare to dash to the left side and dodge the Ahuramazda's gatling guns.

He quickly aimed his Patriot at her and fired.

*TRATATATATA!*

"Damn it, what kind of weapon is that?!" Shouted Dorothea in shock, she saw her Knightmare's armor energy depleting considerably after Patriot impacted her Knightmare.

She then quickly dashed away and took cover behind one of the struts buildings.

On the other side of the Bridge, 40 MSF Knightmare's arrived, with 30 MSF soldiers. The MSF Knightmares aimed at the Britannian Knightmares and the Ahuramazda and fired.

"We need to take you to the other side, Mosquito-san!" Suggested the Akio as he began helping Mosquito with David.

Mosquito gritted his teeth in anger, he didn't want to retreat and lose more ground to the Britannians, "No, I can still-"

"Mosquito!" Suddenly called Big Boss from his comm.

"Boss?" Wondered Mosquito.

"Let me and the rest take care of this! You and anyone who are injured should fall back to the evacuation point!" Commanded Big Boss

Mosquito looked hesitant. Even though he was injured, he wanted to help defend Mother Base.

Mosquito sighed in defeat and obeyed Big Boss's order.

"You've got it, Boss!"

Akio and David started to carry Mosquito away, accompanied with other injured MSF soldiers and then followed by the rest of the MSF forces.

…

In the Living Quarters

…

Gregory, Cornelio and the rest of the MSF forces were managing to hold the Britannians back despite the odds.

"Keep it up, we are doing it well!" Said Cornelio as he reloaded his rifle.

It would have gone well, but suddenly…

*Crash!*

Something big landed on the base of the struts.

"What the hell was that?" Asked one of the MSF soldiers.

The smoke started to clear, revealing a giant Knightmare.

"Oh no, that's..." Muttered Gregory in shock.

"You know who it is?" Asked Cornelio.

"That's the Galahad, Knightmare of the Knight of One!"

"What?! The Knight of One?!" Said Cornelio in disbelief.

Once the Galahad stood up, Bismarck inspected his surroundings.

"Looks like the party isn't over yet" Said Bismarck with a smirk.

The Galahad then drew out its sword and positioned itself.

"Gregory…" Spoke Cornelio.

"Yes?" Asked Gregory with a bit of nervousness. It was the first time he would ever face against the powerful Knight of One.

"If we can't get out of this alive, and even though I have been here for a very short time, I want to say that it's been an honor to fight alongside you" Said Cornelio with his rifle ready, he wished he had a Knightmare so he could assist Gregory.

"Thank you, Cornelio. It has been an honor to fight with you too" Said Gregory with a smile.

"Come, Outer Heaven! Show me what you are all made of!" Proclaimed Bismarck as his Galahad charged at them.

Gregory charged at him while Cornelio and the MSF forces fired at the Galahad.

…

With Kane

…

Kane ran through the hall until he reached to the lab where his Knightmare was being held.

He opened the door and saw that Sam was on the computer doing modifications.

"Kane!" Sam turned around to see Kane.

"Is it ready?" Asked Kane as he quickly approached the Knightmare.

"Yes!" Replied Sam.

Kane quickly went inside the cockpit and then said to Sam.

"Good. MSF Choppers are arriving soon, so get your stuffs ready and rendezvous with the other staff members for the evac!"

"OK!" Nodded Sam as he quickly left.

Kane opened the lab's gate. Then he activated his Knightmare Veltro flying system and quickly flew out.

Once on air, he noticed an alert from his 360 degrees screen, it showed that another fleet appeared at the far east. Kane scanned the fleet and it revealed that it was led by the Holy Order of St. Michael and St. Gabriel. There were lots of them, but Kane started to do something.

"Miller, it's me Kane" he calls Miller through radio.

"Loud and clear, Kane"

"We got another fleet, just appeared from the far east" Kane replies, then sends the info to Mother Base "They are being led by the Order of St. Michael and St. Gabriel"

"Understood, I'll send the Finger and Eye and Eliza's Viking Fleet to-"

"I'll go on first" Kane interrupted "I'm going to thin the herd"

"Wait what? You are going solo on this Kane!?" Miller retorts.

"Don't worry Miller, I know them" Kane reassures Miller "I've been in battle against the Euro-Britannia while hiding from the Empire for a long time"

"That may be true, but don't forget, some of their Knightmares has now Float Units" Miller informed the young Wolf Warrior "Not only that, but they finally built a fleet of Mass-Produced Avalon Type ships"

"Don't worry Miller, I've got it covered" he reassures, he set-up the weapons loadout for his Knightmare then ready to launch, finally his one-eyed factsphere hummed "Knightmare Veltro, After-Burn"

Veltro launched from the Airfield boost straight where the fleet of Euro-Britannia came from, he can see Eliza's fleet below him that are now on the move.

"Commander Eliza, I got a call from commander Miller, " The Finger informed to the Captain of the Fleet, Eliza.

"There's another fleet coming from the east, they plan to cut off our route of escape after their first failed attempt."

"I see" Eliza hissed as she recognized the banner of St Michael and St Gabriel, remembering that it was them who attacked her village.

"Tell Kane that we will support him soon!"

"Yo, look at that!" the Eye noticed something at the sky, they all look up and saw Kane's Knightmare flew pass them.

"I think that was Kane Nightwolf" The Finger said as they all looked at him.

"According to Miller, Kane will thin the Euro-Britannia fleet while we are heading there" Added the Eye.

"All by himself, is he crazy?!" the Finger's eyes were completely wide.

"Doesn't matter, we'll go support him" Eliza goes to the comms to inform all of her fleet "VIKING FLEET, FULL SPEED AHEAD! THE EURO-BRITANNIA HAS FINALLY JOINED THE BATTLE, IT IS TIME TO AVENGE OUR PEOPLE WHO GOT ABUSED AND LOST THEIR LIVES BECAUSE OF THEM!"

The Vikings roared for battle; they were waiting for this for a long time. The Euro-Britannia made their lives miserable but now their time has come and justice is on their side.

While waiting for reaching the target location, Kane closed his eyes and breathed long. Now letting his breath out, he starts to deactivate all limiter then pushed his lever controls. It let out the full thruster boost that made Kane kick back on his sit, Knightmare Veltro now in full thruster, entered in Sound Barrier proceeding in Mach 1 to Mach 2. Kane gritting his teeth underneath his helmet, he can feel a powerful G-Force on his body and managed to fight it. Not even the normal pilots could handle this, his suit was also made to withstand the G-force so he doesn't have a problem to feel being crushed. He was able to control his machine as hard as he could to boost straight to the enemy fleet, until now he hears the warning signs about the full thrusters but he ignored that. Now that he is far away, his screen finally went up showing the targets of ships and Floating Ships that belonged to the Euro-Britannia, it showed the banner of Holy Order of St. Michael and Gabriel.

"There it is " Kane grins as he finally reaches his destination, 4 Aircraft Carriers, 20 Destroyers, and 2 Dreadnought Battleship for the Naval. As for Airforce, there weren't much, 4 Caerleon Class and 2 Logres Class that belongs to the Holy Order of St. Michael and Gabriel. Knightmare Veltro boost straight at the Fleet and take them by surprise, he aimed his Panzerstrike Bazooka while boosting lower from the ships to get a good target run.

The Dreadnought Captain was sitting lazily, waiting to reach their target, MSF Mother base, but alarm went up, he ordered his crew to search the enemy, but found nothing, until…

*BOOOM*

One of their Destroyer ship exploded and was now sinking.

"Damage to 5th Destroyer squadron!" the Dreadnought crew informed, that caused their Captain to flinch.

*BOOOM*

Another explosion went off but this time it was almost close to them, left starboard.

"There is another explosion, from the Destroyer Number 3, the Vernal!" another crew informed "Damage to the super structure, probably enemy attack!"

"But from where?!"

*BOOOM*

Again another explosion went off but this time 3 ships had already sunk, 2 Destroyer and 1 Aircraft Carrier

"THIS IS CAPTAIN ALLISON FROM AIRCRAFT CARRIER DEIMOS!" the Captain of Deimos hailed through comms "FIRE HAS BEEN SPREADING INSIDE THE SHIP-!"

then it cuts off turning the Aircraft Carrier into fireball, all the crew from Dreadnought Battleship are trembling in fear after witnessing the destruction of 3 Destroyers and 1 Aircraft Carrier. Captain Ron McToye was getting agitated then he decide to do something.

"Deploy Knightmare Squadrons in Float Units towards 4 o'clock!" the Captain ordered, the Dreadnought Battleship opened the right side of the rear reveal the 2 Squadron of Knightmare Sutherlands and one Gloucester leading them.

"This is Sham Schummel Team Leader of the Lily and Torn Squadron" the Team Leader hailed "My Squadron will take care of- huh?!"

Before he finished his sentence, his eyes widened as the Knightmare Veltro suddenly appeared in front of them aiming the Panzerstrike Bazooka at them. Kane let out a powerful ordinance straight to them, killing the whole squadron but also causing an explosive chain reaction since there are ammo from battleship cannons inside of it, half of Dreadnought Battleship was now on flames and Captain McToye was panicking.

"No...my ship...this can't be happening!" the Captain trembled, not only his ship was nearly destroyed, but his pride as well.

"CAPTAIN WE MUST ABANDONNED SHIP!"

"WHAT ARE YOUR ORDERS CAPTAIN?!"

"CAPTAIN!"

The crew kept asking but Captain McToye's ears were deaf after what happened to his glorious Battleship.

"CAPTAIN, IT'S A KNIGHTMARE! " The captain snapped out of his thoughts then stared at the bridge window and his fear started to eat him up.

"It can't be!"

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING DOING HERE?!"

"No way... if he is here, that means…"

"He joined Outer Heaven?!"

"Oh god...the Ghost" Captain McToye knew of this Knightmare, it was the same Urban Legend they heard at E.U. Germany, the one that'd make their lives a nightmare.

"The Ghost of Nightwolf"

the Captain of Dreadnought finally answered until Knightmare Veltro switch his Bazooka to his SKAR-X then unleashed the lead of Celerium Rounds, slaughtering Captain Ron McToye and his crew until the bridge went to room of hell, the Dreadnought Battleship has been sunk.

While the rest of the ships were trying to change their trajectory to attack the Knightmare….

*BOOM!*

Suddenly, many Britannian ships exploded from the artillery attack from Eliza's fleet.

"FIRE!" Eliza commanded as her fleet started to bombard the Britannian ships.

After the destruction of the 1st Dreadnought Battleship the 2nd was at the left side and they were watching in horror, the Captain of the 2nd Dreadnought, Captain Jennifer Marchi, stared at the screen where it shows the destruction of Captain McToye's Dreadnought.

Soon, the Knightmare was standing in front with wall of flames behind it, like a Death Knight, until another screen went on, showing the Grand Master, Gaudefroy Du Villon.

"Captain Marchi, can you kindly explain what in the name of Britannia happened down there?!" The Lord of St. Gabriel barked.

"My Lord, we've been ambushed" Captain Marchi replied but she was afraid to continue "Just one Knightmare"

"HOW COME ONE KNIGHTMARE TOOK DOWN HALF OF OUR FLEET?!" Gaudefroy was furious from that report

"My Lord...It's a…It's-"

"It's what Captain Marchi?"

"it's the G-Ghost of Nightwolf" she finally answered.

"WHAT?! " Gaudefroy lost it after he heard the name of the Ghost of Nightwolf, remembering that it made their lives into living hell back then at Europa "THAT PHANTOM?! WHY IS HE THERE?!"

"My Lord, his now part of the mercenary forces, the MSF" she replies with fear.

"DEPLOY ALL OF YOUR KNIGHTMARES AND READY ALL YOUR CANNONS!" Gaudefroy orders.

"Captain, the Ghost is on the move!" one of her crew alerted, she saw Knightmare Veltro suddenly jumps then flies head.

"ALL SHIPS TARGET THAT KNIGHTMARE NOW!" the Captain orders in panic

"Starboard side, put up a barrage now!"

Before they could do anything, suddenly 2 more Destroyers sunk from Eliza's Viking Fleet. Her Battleship unleashed some heavy ordinance to Marchi's Fleet, some are damaged while others are now sunk, which are 4 Destroyers. The Aircraft Carrier suffered critical damage, but their Jet Fighters and Knightmares with Float Units managed to take off.

On Eliza's Valkyrie, an MSF customed Knightmare Sutherland type, piloted by the Eye and the Finger, were stationed on a part of the fleet and were now in position for their sniping.

"Here i thought you Britannian Nobles are bunch of stuck up lazy, but you are AWESOME!" Eye complimented.

"I must say, your one hell of a pilot" Finger praised.

"Thanks, but we've better get started, we need to thin their forces as much as we can" Kane said then glares back at the Euro-Britannians "The Holy Knights of Euro-Britannia are pain in the ass"

"Alright, so what's the plan?" Asked the Eye.

"You two, use that sniper cannon to take on the ship's rear" Kane informed the 2-pilot snipers, he then focused on the enemy again.

"I'll make the diversion on my own"

The Euro-Britannian Knightmares deployed, then opened fire at Kane since he is the infamous Ghost of Nightwolf that terrorized Europia, the ships were doing the same as well.

Kane flew below to avoid the barrage of bullets and cannon ordinance, right now every crew from Britannian Destroyers were having a hard time hitting him.

"It's too fast!" the crew member that has the gun control said while getting frustrated "Unable to engage!"

"Ready the missiles and-" before the captain finished his orders, he saw Kane's Knightmare stop at the bridge for 3 seconds then left. Suddenly the missiles, rockets, cannon ordinance and bullets that were supposed to hit Veltro were now raining on them instead...

Next, he approached the Aircraft Carrier of the Sutherlands and Gloucesters. The ship fireed at Veltro but Kane fired back with his Bazooka. The Celerium rockets were far more destructive than a normal rocket, taking out 5 Knightmares with one rocket then fires another to hit the bridge of the Aircraft Carrier, incapacitating it in the process.

"He just took out a Destroyer and an Aircraft Carrier!"

"The Billy's Squadron in the Aircraft Carrier are gone as well!"

"Wait we got another intense heat source closing in from below!" the Helm Crew informed "Knightmares from starboard left!"

the Eye and Finger shot every Knightmares that were defending the Britannian ships and started to put a large hole at the rear of every Destroyer ships. As for the Valkyrie, it unleashed every heavy attacks on the Euro-Britannia fleet, then Eliza deployed their Panzer Hummel to defend her ship.

After taking out the Destroyer, Kane noticed the alert from his left screen, the Holy Order of St. Gabriel was on the move and they sent 2 Caerlon Class Ships to deal with him, he checked his ammo count from his Panzerstrike that has only 4 Rockers left and he got 5 Magazines for his SKAR-X.

"Got 4 Rockets and 5 Mags left" Kane said then glares back to the Floating ship "Can I take two floating ships down? Humph, let's find out"

Kane pushed the control to Full Jet Thrusters to take on the Caerlon Class Ships.

…

St. Gabriel Longress Class Floating Battleship Bridge

…

Grand Master of St. Gabriel, Gaudefroy Du Villon was furious, not only he lost half of his fleet, but the Ghost of Nightwolf was here. After ordering 2 Floating Ships to take down Knightmare Veltro and the Viking ship, the screen went on revealing to be the Grand Master of St. Michael and the former Knight of Two, Michele Manfredi.

"Grand Master Gaudefroy, was it even necessary to send 2 of your escort Floating Ships?" Michele asked.

"Shut it Grand Master Michele, it's not those ships of bandits that I'm worried about" Gaudefroy growled, getting irritated with his bleeding-heart antics.

"You do realize that the Ghost of Nightwolf is now part of the Militaire Sans Frontieres?!"

"Is that so, didn't know that they tamed the so-called Phantom" the Grand Master of St. Micheal chimed

"No matter, I'll end this once and for all!" the Grand Master vows then ended his transmission.

"ALL FORCES, DEPLOY KNIGHTMARES TO INTERCEPT THAT SPECTRE! "

…

St. Michaal Longress Class Floating Battleship Bridge

…

After cutting the communication feed with Grand Master of St. Gabriel, Grand Master Michele sighed in defeat from Gaudefroy's paranoia on the infamous Ghost of Nightwolf.

"Well, this is getting interesting" A voice came from Michele's comm, revealing to be the Grand Master of St. Raphael Andrea Farnese. "I expected that Big Boss or any elite mercenaries would come to face us, but we got the Ghost of Nightwolf instead"

"You tell me, my old friend, it seems the Lady Luck is not on our side today" Michele grumbled while rubbing his temple

"No matter let's send some of our forces to support that old goat...send one of our Caerlon Floating Ship, give the message to Swordmaster Brondello! Tell them to move out!"

"Yes, my Lord!" the crew respond then goes to his terminal to contact the Swordmaster.

"Are you sure Michele, why not send Shin or the Asura Force?" Andrea asked since Shin is Michele's successor and Ashley Ashura are the most skilled Knights of

"The Asura Force are currently engaging the Militaire Sans Frontieres in their base. As for Shin, not yet for now, the Swordmasters should be enough" the Grand Master of St. Michael answered.

Grand Master Michele is a patient knight unlike Gaudefroy. He is calm and collective, but for now he needed to thread carefully, not only because of the fleet of mercenaries, but the vengeful Ghost of Nightwolf. Shin Hyuga Shaing was standing beside with his Grand Master with a smirk, this is his opportunity to join the battle and raise his rank to become the next Grand Master of St. Michael.

…

A meter away from Mother Base, with St. Uriel Longress Class Floating Battleship and the Grandberry

…

The Holy Order of Uriel and the fleet of Britannian aricrafts with the Grandberry were on standby while guarding the rear in case there were more reinforcements from MSF.

Raymond looked calmly at the battle going around. Though he was pushed aside, he was calm and waited with patience until his turn comes.

Suddenly he received a transmission from the Grandberry.

Raymond allowed it and spoke.

"What can I be of service?"

"Grandmaster Raymond, we are detecting several aircrafts coming from the enemy base!" Spoke Toto with an urgent tone.

Raymond raised an eyebrow curiously.

"Sir, our radar confirmed it! Enemy forces are approaching from the right side!" informed one of his operators.

Then the screen showed 50 MSF jet fighters and 7 MSF Hind D's and 10 AH56A Bombers. What caught his attention were some of the unfamiliar aircrafts (referring to the AH56A Bombers), as well as the jet fighters that looks like they were customed.

"Grandmaster, prepare your forces! We will attack them together!" informed Toto.

"Very well. Holy Order of Uriel, to your battle stations!"

…

With the MSF squadron of aircrafts

…

Aside of the MSF Hind D's and Bombers, the jet fighters were in reality all the members of the Lions of Khalahari, with Liz and Shira leading them.

Shira spoke through her comm to all

"Listen up! Our objective is to cripple their air supports, We will provide the distraction for the Bombers to do their job, if we can damage those Longress Class Floating Ships, then we will be able to give Boss and the rest of our friends an opportunity to win this battle!"

"Yes, Shira!" Roared all the members of the Khalahari.

"You ready, my love?" Shira spoke to Liz.

"Yes!" Liz said with a determined tone.

"Lions of Khalahari, attack!"

After that, all the Jet fighters flew straight to the Battleships and the Grandberry.

Inside the Longress Floating Ship and the Grandberry, the Britannian pilots entered to their jet fighters and VTOL Gunships and began to take flight and deploy to the battle.

Raymond then had all his men ready to fire at the MSF aircrafts.

"Fire!" Shouted Raymond.

"Incoming!" Shouted Shira.

Bullets and missiles from the enemy side started to approach them, prompting them to dodge them.

"Shira, enemy aircrafts are on their way!" Informed Liz.

"All Lions of Khalahari, engage the enemy!"

With that, the 2 sides started to have dog fights. Some of the MSF jet fighters were shot down by the enemy, but the same could be said to the Britannians as they lost a little more than MSF.

Shira and Liz were being chased by 5 Jet fighters.

The 5 Britannian jet fighters aimed their directional missiles at them and fired.

"Shira, we've got missiles!" Informed Liz.

"Shit. Liz, you know what to do!"

"Yes!"

Shira pushed the controls forward, prompting the jet to go faster, the missiles started to chase the jet, then the jet went upwards, next thing they did was to fly the jet straight to the 5 jet fighters.

"Now!"

Liz then pulled a lever. This activated their jet fighter a special feature, a small filler inside the jet that contains Sakuradite flows to the propulsors, allowing the jet fighter to go Mach 7 for 3 seconds, with a recharge of 1 minute.

*FWOSH!*

The Jet fighter went to supersonic speed, fly passing the jet fighters.

"W-What was that?!" Said one of the Britannian pilots in shock.

"Shit, the missiles!"Another Britannian pilot shouted.

No one was able to dodge the missiles as they collided against the missiles.

*BOOM!*

"Hell yeah!" Said Shira victoriously.

Then she thrusted the jet fighter and went back to their compatriots who are fighting against the Britannians.

…

With Kane

…

The Knightmare Squadrons from Gabriel and St. Michael were deployed to intercept the Knightmare Veltro, they never fought the Ghost of Nightwolf before since they got their hands full from E.U. Forces. This is would be their first battle to fight him ever since they heard the rumors of how fast he is. So, the Swordmasters were armed with Machine Rifles, Double Swords for close quarters and finally Rocket Launchers with homing rockets.

"Alright Swordmasters, this is our first battle with the Ghost of Nightwolf" Swordmaster Brondello announced "Be advised, this is different than the other forces we and St. Raphael fought on the E.U."
"Let's make sure to stick together so that Ghost won't pick-"Swordmaster Dore was about to issue his orders but one of Gabriel Sutherland was shot down.

"What the hell?!"

*BOOM*

"Swordmaster, Ensign Douglas, has been shot down-!" the pilot alerted until he was shredded from Veltro's SKAR-X , killing him.

"MY GOD WE LOST ENSIGN RONALD!"

"DAMN IT'S FAST"

Knightmare Veltro boost left while firing his SKAR-X taking out 3 more, the group of Sutherlands were having a hard time to take him out since he moved so agile than a normal Knightmare. After that Kane reloads the SKAR-X for new magazine.

"I can't believe it, even when my vision is clear, I can't keep up my sight" the Eye said in awe.
"Damn he is fast, I can't even tell" the Finger said in the same manner.

"Damn it, all units give everything you've got!" Brondello orders then fires his Machine Rifle in full auto, his fellow Swordmasters were doing the same with their Rocket Launchers and Sniper Rifle, while what's left of the Gabriel Knightmare Squadrons decide to go on close quarters arming themselves with Lances and MVS Swords. Knightmare Veltro decide to go close quarters as well by combining his Blaze Axes and turn into Blaze Naginata, Kane pushed his Jet Boosters into max to go straight to them. The Gabriel Knightmares goes first to try to hack, slash or impale but Veltro cuts all of them in a lightning speed, annihilating the whole squadron of Gabriel and now St. Michael Swordmasters were the only ones left.

"THE WHOLE GABRIEL SQUADRONS ARE GONE!" Dore shouts as he is getting agitated.

"DON'T STOP, JUST KEEP SHOOTING!" Scholtz tries to reassures Dore but fear was getting on his nerves too.

The Veltro charged and barrel rolled to shrug off the machine rifle bullets and evade the homing rockets, then raised his shield to block Dore's Sniper Shot, Kane finally got close to them, so he took out Scholtz first , so he would end the homing rocket problem, Veltro twirls his Beam Naginata then slashes down to destroy the Rocket Launcher, forcing Scholtz to use his MVS Sword for close combat, but it was too late as the Veltro slashed up, damaging the chest and head of his Gloucester, this caused Swordmaster Scholtz to safely eject before his Knightmare exploded.

Next was Dore, he tried take Veltro down by spamming the sniper shots, but it was futile as Kane blocks the sniper shots and got closer to him, he cuts the Sniper Rifle and the Gloucester in one slash, Dore, the same as Scholtz, safely ejects.

Two were now down, leaving only one Swordmaster.

Swordmaster Brondello was shocked. Instead of fighting, he pulled the lever to eject, flying away from Kane.

Kane let out a humorous humph and focused on the gloating ships.

Just before he could go against those ships, he saw something shocking. To his right side, he saw that MSF jet fighters were being destroyed by the other Longress Battleship and the Grandberry.

"What the hell?" Muttered Kane with his eyes widened. He shut his eyes for a second and then focused on his main enemy.

Before he charged against them, he called to Eye and the Finger.

"Eye, Finger. From here on out, I'll deal with the rest of the Euro-Britannia forces. Retreat to Mother Base and help the rest of our compatriots!"

"Understood, Kane!" The Eye said. He also saw the destruction of their jet fighters. So if Kane said that they should go back and help their comrades, then it means that it is something very important.

*BOOM*

Explosions occurred as the Britannian ships continued to sink. Eliza's Valkyrie was doing the job by sweeping the waters, they finally sunk the 2nd Dreadnought Battleship that was commanded by Captain Jennifer Marchi.

…

St. Micheal Longres Floating Battleship Bridge
…

Grand Master of St. Michael rubbed his temple from the failed attempt to intercept the escaping MSF ships.

The whole Knightmare Squadrons were wiped out and his Swordmasters barely survived.

When he contacted Gaudefroy, the only thing he heard was angry tantrums and screams.

"Grandmaster Gaudefroy, please calm down" Michele tried to calm the angry Grandmaster, Shin was smiling at how the Gaudefroy was losing his mind.

"CALM DOWN, HOW IN THE WORLD AM I GONNA CALM DOW?!" Gaudefroy screams then slams his fist at the terminal, causing all the crew in his ship flinch.

"WE JUST LOST THE WHOLE SQUADRON OF KNIGHTMARES AND ALL OUR SHIPS!"

"Calm down and let's plan this properly" Said Michele.

"Grand Master" one of the crew calls "We've got a transmission"

"If this is about the 'Go order' then fine, deploy them" Michele waved his dismissal.

"Uummm my lord, it belongs to the Glinda Knights" the crew replies in nervous tone "It comes from the 88th Imperial Princess, Marrybell Mel Britannia"

"This can't be good" Grand Master Andraeas commented, having a feeling that Marrybell won't be pleased.

"Connect it" the St. Michael Grandmaster ordered, the crew did what he said, then the screen appeared.

"Grand Master Michele of the St. Michael House, what is your situation?" Marrybell asked with authority.

"My apologies, your highness" the St. Michael Grandmaster bows "We've encountered a difficult-"

"Losing more than half of Euro Britannia ships and troops" Marrybelle finished what he was about to say, causing Michele to sweat.

"Yes, your highness"

"I don't see Outer Heaven ships, just one Destroyer and-" before she continued, she noticed a Knightmare that looks like a Legendary Dark Knight.

"it can't be, Grand Master is that…?" Asked Marrybell in disbelief.

"Yes, your highness" Michele replied "the Ghost of Nightwolf "

"So he is in the league with those mercenary scums" The Princess hissed while gripping her Knightmare's controls.

Of all the enemies she dealt with, the Ghost of Nightwolf was the worst. Because of it, Oldrin lost her attention

"Grand Master Michele, Grand Master Gaudefroy...keep heading to the Outer Heaven main base the while my Glinda Knights and I will handle things here"

"Your Highness, you can't!" Gaudefroy's eyes were widened and sweating about her orders.

"But Princess, you are not just dealing those ships" Michele tried to convince Marrybelle "The Ghost of Nightwolf is not to be trifle with!"

"Don't worry Grand Masters" Marrybelle reassures them "No phantom can defeat me and my Glinda Knights"

Gaudefroy sweats from her ego, and Michele and Andraea were looking in concern of Marrybell's safety, but before they followed her orders, Shin steps in.

"Your Highness, while Master Michele and the other Grand Masters proceeds to attack Outer Heaven, "I'll go, along with my Knight ,Jean Rowe, to assist you"

"I appreciate your bravery, Master Shaing, but there is no need to-" Grand Master Andreas spoke not fond with Shin, but he was interrupted by Marrybell.

"Very well, General Master Shaing" the Princess accepted Shin's request

"But you and your men are following orders of the Glinda Knights"

"I understand"

"Then come and join the battle!" Marrybelle announced

"Together we will rid the evils from those Mercenaries and end the terror of the Ghost of Nightwolf"

"Yes, your highness!" Shin and Jean bowed.

Once the comm was off. Michele received an update from Raymond. He looked surprised, but he was pleased with the news.

Michele turned to Gaudefroy and spoke.

"Grandmaster Gaudefroy, if it's of any consolation, Grandmaster Raymond reported me that MSF aircrafts have been taken care off" Said Michele.

Gaudefroy frowned and just groaned, not really feeling happy with other MSF forces being taken down.

…

With Shira and Liz

…

Shira and Liz continued fighting against the Britannian aircrafts. Everyone was fighting well against the Britannians, but sadly, Shira and Liz underestimated the enemy's Longress Floating Battleships.

The mounted guns and turrets managed to suppress most of the Lions of Khalahari's jet fighters, leaving only a few Hind D's and Bombers.

"How could I be so stupid!" Cursed Shira in frustration. She felt responsible for the deaths of her soldiers, including the MSF pilots.

"Shira, we couldn't have known" Liz tried to comfort Shira.

"We could if we had known our enemy better!" Shouted Shira, causing Liz to flinch.

"I…I" Shira stuttered while a few tears falling from her eyes.

"Miss Lioness, Miss Liz!" Shouted an MSF pilot on a Hind D, catching their attention.

"This mission is over! Our priority now is to go back to Mother Base and help the remaining staff members to evac!" Spoke the MSF pilot, telling them what their new objective is.

Shira sighed in defeat and nodded.

"You are right... we have to-"

*FWOSH!*

*BAM!*

The bullets and missiles from the Raymond's Longress impacted SHira and Liz jet fighter,

"AAHHH!" They both screamed as the jet fighter started to lose control.

"Miss Lioness, Miss Shira!" Shouted the MSF pilot in the Hind D

Liz tried to maintain control, but the damage caused by the missiles was high. She then tried to eject their seats, but it didn't work either. They were essentially trapped.

"I eject! We are going to crash!" Cried Liz.

Shira had a pained expression when she saw her Liz crying in fear. She saw that her own controls were still functioning somehow, it seemed that the missile only damaged Liz's control but not hers. Sadly, her seat couldn't be ejected due to the damage caused.

This only left with one option.

"Liz…" Said Shira

"Huh?" Liz looked at her while still crying, but then she looked in confusion when Shira just let out a smile.

Suddenly, Liz seat was ejected, shocking her in the process.

"What?!" Said Liz in shock.

Shira was looking around while the Jet fighter was going on direct crash to the sea. She didn't look like she was afraid, she was actually at peace with herself, knowing that she at least managed to save Liz.

Her life flashed through her mind. When she was living on her own, adopted by the noble who helped her, meeting Liz, her adoptive family being killed by the Metal Demon, falling in love with Liz, joining Big Boss, meeting new people, destroying the Metal Demon, killing the man responsible for murdering Liz's family and adopting Dafne and Akira.

"Good bye, my Liz" Shira closed her eyes as she bid farewell.

Liz saw how the jet fighter crash to the sea. Due to the energy filler in the Jet, the impacted caused it to react and then explode.

Liz was looking in horror at what just happened. Everything happened so fast and so sudden. Now, Shira, her first love, died in front of her eyes.

"SHIIIIIIRAAAAAA!" Liz screamed and then started to cry.

The remaining Hind D's and Bombers witnessed the scene and couldn't help but feel sadness at the sudden loss.

The pilot who spoke to Shira and Liz contacted Eliza about what happened.

…

In the main Hangar

…

At this moment, Amanda and Chico was helping the MSF soldiers to board their transports. The Sandinistas also entered the transports, although reluctantly since they didn't want to leave Amanda.

Dafne and Akira were also helping. Suddenly, Dafne had a strange feeling, one that she didn't like. It felt like something just stabbed her heart.

"Dafne? What is it?" Asked Akira.

"I…I don't know" Replied Dafne in concern, she hoped that it was nothing bad.

…

In the Living Quarters

…

The situation in the Living Quarters became chaotic as Bismarck began his killing spree.

While Gregory managed to hold his own, miraculously, against the Knight of One, the Galahad's sword was extremely large, that with each swing that Gregory dodged, it would cause casualties with whoever is around the range, and sadly, the MSF forces were the ones that got caught.

Gregory roared and clashed his Knightmare's sword against the Galahad's sword.

"For a mercenary, you fight quite honorably" Commented Bismarck, seeing how Gregory never seemed to resort any cheap tricks.

"Why thank you. I would have said the same to you, the Knight of One, but I left my past a long time ago" Replied Gregory as he pushed his swords further.

"May I ask, why would you join these people? Had you not joined with them; you would have become eventually a part of the Knights of the Round"

"I would have… Until I saw Britannia's true nature. Not a single knight, noble, soldier or man are honorable. They are all corrupted to the core and I refuse to be part of it"

"…What a shame" Bismarck said.

Suddenly, he pushed his sword against Gregory's and with a quick move, the Galahad swung his sword vertically low, cutting Gregory's Knightmares legs.

Gregory looked in shock as his Knightmare fell on the ground, with Bismarck standing in front and with his sword up ready to stab him.

"You had the potential, but you are nothing compared to any of our Knights!" Said Bismarck in an insulting tone.

"Shit!" Cursed Gregory as he prepared for the blow.

*Tratatatatataa!*

The Galahad moved backwards as it shield itself from the bullets.

"Hold on Gregory!" shouted Cornelio, accompanied by 10 MSF soldiers and 10 Forgotten Knights.

"My lord Gregory! Now's the time for you to get out while you still can!" , One of the Forgotten Knights shouted.

"Alright, thank you boys!" Said Gregory gratefully, he then pulled the cockpit eject lever and then the cockpit ejected to the other side of the bridge.

"Now, fall back guys!" Shouted Cornelio.

With that, all the remaining forces retreated to the other side of the bridge.

Bismarck looked at his Galahad's screen and scuffed at the MSF forces retreating.

"My lord, should we pursue them?" Approached a Britannian soldier.

"Not now. We wait for the reinforcements and for her highness command. In the meantime, keep them occupied!"

"Yes, my lord!" The Britannian soldier left.

"They merely delayed the inevitable" Said Bismarck as he watched at the retreating MSF soldiers.

Just when he thought that he won…

*Tratatatatatata!*

A turrent of bullets rained on him

"HUH?!" Bismarck looked behind him and just in time to deflect the bullets with his Galahad's sword.

He looked up to see that it was a Sutherland with a flying unit going straight to him.

It then landed on the ground and pointed its gun at him.

"Who are you?! How dare you attack the Knight of One!" Questioned Bismarck thinking that a Britannian was rebelling against him.

"Looks like I have arrived in time" Spoke the one inside the Sutherland.

"Answer me!" Demanded Bismarck.

The Sutherland stood up while still pointing at Bismarck.

" I am Alligator, Big Boss's best soldier, you may also know me as the second knight of princess Euphemia, Ishmael Ahab"

The reveal surprised Bismarck, not expecting him to be the Knight of Euphemia, but then his expression turned into anger.

"You were spying princess Euphemia, this whole time" Said Bismarck.

"Yes, I did" Replied Alligator, not hiding it.

"Traitor!" Barked Bismarck, despite Alligator revealing his true nature from the start, it made him angry that MSF resorted to such dishonorable way to infiltrate Britannia.

"You will die by my hands for such act!" Bismarck yelled and then charged at him with Galahad's sword.

Alligator quickly dashed away while firing at him. He knows that his Sutherland would be almost impossible to defeat him, so he had to think of a solution.

He then received a transmission from Big Boss.

"Boss?"

"Alligator, what are you doing here?! I told you to stay where you were!" Reprimanded Big Boss. He was still fighting against Dorothea.

"I know Boss, but it was necessary"

"Necessary? Explain"

"I've discovered a terrible secret about Britannia, and it's about their Emperor" Said Alligator.

Big Boss thought about it for a second. He quickly dashed away and hid to take cover while Dorothea's Knightmare continued firing at him. He began to think, he knows that Alligator wouldn't just abandon his orders in this situation and after what he said, it has to be something very important, so important that it would be dangerous to keep his cover.

"Alright, what's this about the Emperor?" Asked Big Boss.

"Sorry Boss, I can't speak about it in here. I'll try to pass the data to your IDROID!" Said Alligator, he then began to type on his IDROID and started to send him the crypted info.

Big Boss saw his IDROID beginning to receive Alligator's data.

"I'm receiving them now!" Replied Big Boss.

"Boss, one more thing. I received info from Miller about the status of our base. Zeke is incapable to launch the nuclear warhead, right?"

"Yeah" Big Boss confirmed it.

"Listen Boss, I'm going to do something very drastic. You and I know that Mother Base is lost, so our option is to evacuate, but before Britannia take this place over, I'm going to give them a last gift"

"A last gift?"

"Yes, and before that happens, I need you and the rest to get out of here in 1 hours, leave as fast as possible!" Alligator said as his Sutherland suffered a bit of damage due to the Galahad's sword.

"What is it that you are planning, Alligator!" Questioned Big Boss.

"I'm going to give them a taste of what "hell" really is"

Big Boss then started to connect the dots and understood what he meant.

"No… You can't! You will die!" Shouted Big Boss.

"I know… But I will gladly give my life, to save you and the rest of our family. Go now, Boss!" Said Alligator with a sad tone.

"NO!" Big Boss shouted, but then the comm was now off.

"Damn it!" Big Boss punched his Knightmare's console. He knows what Alligator was planning to do and he hated it.

Seeing no other choice, he contacted to Miller and informed him of what it was going to happen.

…

With Big Boss

…

At this moment, Dorothea was still fighting against Big Boss. Her Knightmare, although still having her Gatling Guns, couldn't hit its target due to SNAKES mobility. She started to grow frustrated the minutes that passed.

Big Boss's Knightmare was reaching to 80 percent of energy, not much, but against such a behemoth, it was understandable. Big Boss decided to end this quick before he starts to run out of energy.

He pointed his Patriot at the Ahuramazda legs and started to shoot.

Dorothea quickly tried to get away from it, but the Patriot proved to be more powerful than she believed.

"No way!" Said Dorothea as her Knightmare fell to the ground.

Big Boss finished shooting, now seeing the Ahuramazda on the ground, crippled.

Dorothea could only just glare at Big Boss through the screen.

"I have to say, you did good against me, I only have 80 percent left of energy, and that's saying a lot" Big Boss started to lecture Dorothea.

Dorothea's eyes widened in shock when Big Boss said that he only has 80 percent of energy, after all the firepower her Knightmare unleashed on him.

"You are good, but you made a mistake. You relied too much on the gatling guns, with no use of your secondary weapons" Continued Big Boss.

Dorothea seethed in anger; she was feeling like a child being scolded by their parents.

"Then what are you waiting for? Finish me!" Shouted Dorothea.

Big Boss looked at her downed Knightmare, already knowing what he would do.

"No" Said Big Boss.

"What did you say? Am I not worth to be killed by you?!" Barked Dorothea, feeling indignated on not being finished off.

"No… I won't kill you. You may have lost this fight, but there is always a reason to live for. Now, I suggest you to leave this place…NOW" Said Big Boss.

Dorothea frowned at Big Boss's words.

Suddenly, his Knightmare started to beep, indicating danger from behind.

*TRATATATATATA!*

Big Boss dashed away and took cover behind a building, he peeked to see that the Holy Order of Uriel Longress Floating Battleship arrived with the Grandberry.

"Lady Dorothea! We've come to help!" Shouted Toto through her comm.

Dorothea let out a sigh as she leaned back her head.

"Thank you"

"You are welcome! We are sending more troops now to help you!" Informed Toto before turning off her comm.

Big Boss decided to take his leave and retreat to the other side of the bridge.

…

West hangar, Britannia's new temporary landing zone

…

In the hangar, the Britannians mounted a landing zone as more transports landed on it and unloaded Britannian soldiers, Knightmares and vehicles.

Soon enough, Shin, Jean and the Glinda Knights arrived on their Knightmares.

The first to exit was Marrybell in her pilot outfit and inside her Knightmare, the Lancelot Trial. Next she was followed by Leonhardt Steiner from the Steiner family, in his Knightmare Bradford, a prototype version of the now in development Tristan, Marika Soresi, younger sister of the deceased Kewell Soresi, inside her Gloucester Glinda, Sokkia Sherpa, the tactical analyst knight of the Glinda Knights, with her Sutherland Glinda, Tink Lockhart, the artillery man of the Glinda Knights, also inside a Sutherland Glinda and Johann Schwarzer, the tactical advisor of the Glinda Knights who uses a Gloucester Glinda.

Oldrin Zevon is also part of the Glinda Knights, but she has yet to arrive.

Then Shin and Jean exited the transport, also in their Knightmares, Shin in a Gloucester Swordsman and Jean on her Gracchus.

The Asura Force saluted them in their Knightmares.

"Commander Shaing!" Saluted Ashley to Shin.

"Asura Force, status report!" Spoke Marrybell.

Ashley spoke begrudgingly, not really wanting to be ordered by someone from the royal family.

"Outer Heaven's forces have withdrawn to the bridges, which seems to connect to their main command building. As of now, our forces are engaging them on the bridges" Informed Ashley.

While he was speaking, Marrybell took the time to check around MSF's hangar, she then spotted that the hangar's building was untouched.

"Good…Has anyone managed to get inside that hangar?" Asked Marrybell.

"We haven't. After they retreated, many of our men tried to enter, but it wouldn't budge"

"I see. Force it open, I want to know what these mercenaries have stored" Said Marrybell. One thing she had to admit, is that MSF possessed advanced technology and she would definitely want them being used by Britannia.

"Yes, my lady" Said Ashley.

"Your highness, pardon me, but shouldn't commander Shaing be in charge?" Asked Ashley.

"Commander Shaing is merely here to assist me and the Glinda Knights. I accepted his request, with the condition that he, as well as the Asura Force, to obey me and the Glinda Knights orders. Is that clear?"

"I understand, your highness" Said Ashley, trying to sound as neutral as possible without showing her his anger. He then retreated and gave the order to several Britannian soldiers.

"So, this is Outer Heaven, huh?" Commented Tink Lockhart, he didn't show it, but he found this place kinda fascinating.

"What's so fascinating about this place?" Said Sokkia, not liking the place.

"I'm not sure, but it has that feeling, you know?" Replied Tink.

"Quiet, you two!" Shouted Johann sternly.

"Leonhardt, I don't like it here. It makes me uncomfortable" Spoke Marika to her fiancé.

"Don't worry my love. Once we are done with these mercenaries, we'll be out of this place before you know it" Reassured Leonhardt.

Shin was looking around the Hangar and found it somewhat interesting, he thought what kind of secret MSF would hide in their systems.

Jean remained stoic, but she was also wondering on what MSF have in store.

…

In the Command Center

…

Miller and the rest of the staff members were monitoring the battle situation, and it wasn't going well. Not only had the enemy managed to take over the West hangar, the Living Quarters and Mission support struts, but they set up a small operation base on the Hangar and there were stealth forces that managed to slip in to the Med Bay struts.

One good news is that surprisingly, the evacuation speed was boosted, thanks to the help of Big Boss's reinforcements.

Amanda, Chico, Dafne, Akira and several MSF soldiers arrived to the East Hangar and the training facility to help the staff members. Luckily, the Brig was empty before this whole mess started, so they won't have to worry about it.

*Bip! Bip!*

Miller then turned his attention to Hideo.

"Hideo, what's that?" Asked Miller.

Hideo looked at the screen and couldn't help but let out a small smirk.

Hideo turned around and spoke.

"Metal Gear Zeke is ready!"

Miller felt relieved when he heard Zeke is ready. While Zeke can't use its nuclear warhead, it is still a very powerful weapon against their enemies.

"Can Zeke be transported to the west hangar?" Asked Miller.

"Yes, it will take approximately 5 minutes to get there!" informed Hideo.

"Alright. Hideo, deploy Zeke to the west Hangar! We are going to give those Britannians one hell of a welcome!"

…

Back to the West Hangar

…

The Glinda Knights and the Asura Force were getting ready to prepare their next assault against the MSF forces. Seeing from their position, the bridge that connects to the hangar, leads to the Command Center of Mother Base. Marrybell deduced that taking over the Command Center would assure her victory against Big Boss and his soldiers.

Meanwhile, the Euro-Britannain soldiers were trying to force open the hangar's gate, as per Marrybell's orders.

Currently they are using a chainsaw to open the gate.

"Shit, this gate is so hard to open!" Commented a Euro-Britannian soldier.

"I wonder what they are hiding in there" spoke a Britannian soldier.

"I bet there is some kind of secret weapon" added another Euro-Britannian soldier.

"Dude, imagine if Britannia possessed such weapon, we would be unstoppable!" Said another Britannian soldier.

"Yeah, I'm sure ther-"

*RUMBLE*

Suddenly, the place started to tremble.

"W-What is happening?!" Exclaimed the Euro-Britannian soldier #1

"Look! The ground… is opening!" Shouted a Britannian soldier.

Everyone looked the ground, which revealed to be a ramp, started to open up.

Marrybell took notice of this and quickly took command.

"Britannia, Glinda Knights, Asura Force! Prepare yourselves!"

Everyone prepared their weapons and aimed at the ramp.

Suddenly, something jumped high from the ramp. No one was able to identify it due to the speed of the jump. Then it landed in front of the ramp, causing a large wave that stunned many soldiers around and a large smoke that covered its appearance.

The Britannians, as well as the Glinda Knights and the Asura Force were tense on whatever it was.

The smoke dissipated, revealing a very familiar figure…

"Oh my god…That's…!" Muttered Tink.

Every Britannian recognized the figure since they saw it on the TV broadcast during the first invasion of MSF.

*ROAR!*

Metal Gear Zeke roared all over the hangar, stunning every Britannian.

Zangief and the MSF forces on the bridge witnessed Zeke's arrival and were happy to see it. Everyone from MSF who fought in the simulation battle with Zeke knows that Zeke is a force to reckon with, especially with its data fully maxed.

"It's that dreadful machine! The one that beat brother Schneizel!" Muttered Marrybell with a nervous tone. She remembers how this machine managed to beat Schneizel back then. She steeled herself, confident that her Glinda Knights, combined with the forces of the Asura Force and the Britannian forces, would be able to defeat this thing.

The Asura Team were very cautious when they saw Zeke, but the ones who wasn't cautions was Ashley. He let out an exciting grin as he spotted Zeke, it was just as he saw it on TV back then, and he would definitely want to defeat this machine.

Shin was looking in interest at Zeke, wondering how powerful would be this machine against himself, the Glinda Knights and the Asura Force.

"This should be interesting" Shin thought.

Jean Rowe was also wondering at the Zeke's capabilities.

Its appearance not only caught their attention, but also the other Euro-Britannian forces.

The Grand Master of the Holy Order of Uriel, Raymond du Saint-Gilles, was looking surprised and interested on Zeke and observed it.

Michele Manfredi was amazed at the appearance of Zeke.

"Michele, what's wrong?" Andrea Farnese asked.

"Militaire Sans Frontieres secret weapon has appeared at last" Said Michele.

"Secret weapon? You don't mean it's…" Said Andrea in realization on what it was.

"Yes, the machine that fought and defeated his highness Schneizel" Confirmed Michele.

Dorothea also stopped for a second when she heard that roar.

"That roar, could it be?" Wondered Dorothea.

Big Boss glanced at bit to the direction where Zeke roared and he let out a small smirk.

Bismarck noticed too the roar despite being the farthest.

"That has to be the machine…" Commented Bismarck, who has a dislike against Zeke. He thought that a machine being able to defeat Schneizel or any human combatant is dishonorable and that such powerful machine shouldn't exist.

The Holy order of Gabriel didn't notice Zeke since they were focused fighting with Kane.

Back in the Hangar, Marrybell then spoke to her forces.

"Commander Shin, Glinda Knights, Asura Forces! Focus all your attention on that machine, the rest of you, continue your assault against the Outer Heaven forces!" Commanded Marrybell.

"Yes, your highness!" Shouted the Britannian soldiers.

With that, Shin, Jean the Glinda Knights and the Asura Forces were left to fight against Zeke.

…

Start the ost "Peace Walker Battle 1 theme" from MGS Peace Walker

…

"Fire!" Commanded Marrybell.

Everyone fired their Knightmare's rifles at Zeke.

Zeke crouched and dashed away to the left with an unmatched speed.

They redirected their aim, but to their surprise, Zeke was already dashing and was almost in front of Leonhardt Steiner's Bradford.

"What the?! This thing is so fast!" Said Leonhardt in shock. He saw that Zeke was about to deliver a forward kick it its right leg, so tried to block with its arms folded together.

But to everyone's shock, Zeke's kick packed a punch as the Bradford was sent flying and fell to the ground.

"Leonhardt!" Marika screamed in worry.

Zeke then did a summersault after the kick and while on air it started to shoot at the Glinda Knights.

The Glinda Knights spread out in order to avoid the bullets.

"Asura Force, attack it directly!" Spoke Marrybell,

"Understood!" Ashley said as he turned to his forces.

"Alright boys, the moment of truth!" Ashley's Gloucester pointed his MVS Sword at Zeke.

"We will take Outer Heaven's secret weapon's head and the world will know that the Asura Force was the one who took it down!"

After his announcement, the rest of the Asura Force roared in unison.

"We are the Knights of St. Michael and we, the Asura Force, are UNSTOPPABLE!" the Leader of Asura points the MVS Sword at top at the sky

"ATTACK!"

"YES, MASTER ASHLEY! " His loyal Knights said in unison then charged Zeke.

Johanne attacks first by firing his Knightmare rifle at Zeke, but did nothing thanks to the armor, Zeke fired back with its machine guns, forcing the Asura Gloucester team to spread out. Zeke blinked and then auto fires at the Gloucester with shield, which belongs to Franz Vello. When he used his shield, it started to crack.

"What the...my shield is breaking from its machine gun?!" Franz eye's widened, then backed away from Zeke's attack and takes cover behind one of the Britannian aircrafts to check his shield. It turns out to be horribly damaged.

"How could a machine damage my impenetrable shield?!"

"Franz, you alright?!" Simon came to check his condition.

"Yeah but my shield is-" But before he could finish, Zeke jumped and was standing on top of the Britannian VTOL aircraft, it looking down on them and then proceeded to fire on them.

"Shit!" Franz quickly got in front of Simon and used the shield to protect him and Simon.

But then, Zeke jumped forward and aimed its turrets at the VTOL's weak spot, the part where the gas is stored.

*BOOM!*

An explosion occurred, causing Franz and Simon Knightmares to blow away and then slam to the walls of the hangar. Franz recovered but suddenly his Knightmare was hit again by Zeke's machine guns. Seeing no other option, he pulled the eject lever

"Damn it!" Cursed Franz as the cockpit flew away.

Simon recovered and was enraged. He charged straight to Zeke in close combat by arming himself with two MVS Swords.

When Simon's Gloucester vertically slashed, Zeke side stepped to evade, Simon then did a horizontal slash, but Zeke evaded again with another side step, suddenly Zeke raised its left leg and delivered a strong forward kick. Simon saw this and crossed his swords to block it, but it turns out that Zeke wasn't aiming for the body, but the head.

"What?!" Simon shouted in shock as his Knightmare's head was kicked off.

Now headless, Simon didn't want to go down without a fight, so decide to charge at Zeke and try to self destruct. Zeke didn't allow it, as it then performed a roundhouse kick.

Simon decides to give up and eject safely.

"SIMON, FRANZ!" Jan shouts in rage and he fired his bazooka, with the rest of the Glinda Knights, Asura Force, Shin and Jean firing at Zeke.

But it proved to be useless, as the bullets just bounced off, thanks to its armor.

Zeke just dashed away, then jumped high. While on the air, it activated its jetpack and began to fly on air. Zeke then began to fire its turrets at them and while at it, Zeke released flying S-Mines.

"What the hell is that?" Muttered Alan. No one knew what that was until it was too late.

*BAM!*

The S-Mines exploded, hitting everyone around.

"AHHH!" Marika screamed as the impact of the S-mines caused her Knightmare to blow away and crash against an Air Force Troop transport.

"Marika! Ugh!" Shouted Leonhardt in worry, only to be hit too by the S-Mines and making his Bradford stagger.

Marrybell grunted with the impact of the S-Mines, but it didn't cause much damage to her Knightmare.

Sokkia was also hit by the S-Mines and her Knightmare fell to the ground.

Tink groaned after the impact, surprising him that those S-Mines were very strong.

Shin was protected by Jean as she used her Gracchu's shield.

"Are you alright, my lord?" Asked Jean.

"Yes, thank you, Jean" Said Shin with a grateful tone.

Jean let out a small smile from his compliment.

Zeke then landed on the ground and unleashed its bullets at Jan's Bazooka, causing it to explode. Jan's Gloucester was able to back off before the explosion and after getting away from his destroyed bazooka, he was followed by Zeke. It then jumped and dropped kicked his Gloucester very hard that caused him to slam down at the deck, completely damaging it and no longer able to move. Jan decides to open the cockpit then escape to safety.

Zeke eye blinked and then jumped backward. Just in time to dodge an attack from Johanne and Alan, who were about to slash it with their MVS swords.

"Damn, this machine won't stop jumping!" Cursed Alan seeing how annoying Zeke is.

Zeke then released again S-Mines while on air.

"Shoot those flying mines!" Commanded Marrybell.

The Glinda Knights, Shin, Jean and the remaining Asura Force started to shoot at the S-Mines.

"Damn it! I didn't come here just to do target practice!" Said Ashley in annoyance.

Unbeknownst to them, Zeke landed on top of the hangar, with the rail gun charged and ready to fire.

"Where did it go? Where did it freaking go?!" Alan shouted as he looked around from his Knightmare's screen.

"Over there!" Spoke Kuzan as everyone turned their sight to Zeke's direction.

Right after they took notice, Zeke aimed its rail gun at the Glinda Knights, specifically at the military advisor of the Glinda Knights, Johann.

"Oh no, Sir Johann, dodge!"

*BAM!*

Zeke's rail gun shot with precision at Johann's Knightmare.

"Uh?!"

That was Johann last word as the rail gun pierced his Knightmare's cockpit and exploded.

*BOOM!*

The Glinda Knights looked in horror at Johann's demise.

"No…" Marrybell's eyes shrink when she saw his military advisor's Knightmare explode.

"Sir Johann!" Cried Leonhardt.

"You bastard!" Leonhardt shouted with tears and fired his Knightmares rifle at Zeke.

The distance between the enemy and Zeke were a bit far, so the bullets that was coming to Zeke only bounced off. So, Zeke aimed his rail gun at the Glinda Knights.

"Leonhardt, look out!" Shouted Marika.

Leonhardt saw the rail gun aimed at him and tried to dash away.

*BAM!*

The rail gun shot at Leonhardt. It wasn't a direct hit since he managed to dodge, but the impact of the rail gun to the gun caused a small tremble which made his Knightmare lose balance and fall.

"Ugh!" Grunted Leonhardt.

Zeke then aimed again at the downed Leonhardt.

"Shit, this is the end for me!" Said Leonhardt in horror.

*BAM!*

Suddenly, the Gracchus appeared in front of Leonhardt's Bradford with its shield.

"Ugh!" Groaned Jean when the rail gun impacted her Knightmare's shield, not expecting that the rail gun would have such power.

"Quick, get out of here!" Spoke Jean.

"Thank you, my lady!" Said Leonhardt in relief as he managed to get his Bradford up and dash away.

Shin was laying low as he analyzed Zeke's pattern in order to find a weakness.

Zeke's eyes started to blink, then suddenly, a red Gloucester, who is piloted by René Laurent, jumped on the air and was ready to impale it with its lancer.

Zeke then aimed with the Peace Walker head at him and shouted.

"POISON BEAM!"

"W-What?!" René said with a confused tone, not expecting Zeke to speak, but more importantly, his Knightmare and himself couldn't move, like he was paralyzed.

"WHAT…THE…. HELL?!" Said René with a struggle.

"René! What's wrong?!" Asked Kuzan

"I…CAN'T…MOVE!" Replied René.

Zeke stopped the Poison Beam attack, then jumped forward and then delivered a powerful kick to the Knightmare.

"Oh shiiit!" René's Knightmare was sent flying and clashed against Johanne's Knightmare.

"Uh!" Groaned Johanne.

While they were fighting against Zeke. On the other side of the bridge, Zangief and the rest of the MSF forces were able to push back the enemy, seeing as how the collateral damages caused from the battle with Zeke is affecting the soldiers, it gave them the opportunity to fight back.

"We are doing it, comrades! Let's keep this up and we will be able to pull them back!" Shouted Zangief as the MSF soldiers roared.

Zeke then aimed its turrets at Kuzan and opened fire.

Kuzan quickly dashed away, but Zeke ran very fast to him and was about to tackle him.

Kuzan saw this and not wanting to know how devastating the tackle would be, decided to pull the ejection cockpit to save his own life.

it may be a coward way to just run away like that, but looking at that machine and seeing how it quickly defeated his comrades, it down right scares him.

Marrybell gripped her Knightmare's control in frustration, not believing that this machine was taking down the Asura Force and her Glinda Knights with ease.

"Glinda Knights, use your rocket launchers at it!" Marrybell ordered.

Marrybell, Leonhardt, Marika, Sokkia and Tink changed their rifles to rocket launcher and aimed at Zeke.

"Die, stupid machine!" Roared Sokkia.

Zeke blinked again at turned around to face the Glinda Knights.

Zeke crouched for a second and then raised its body, and seconds later, the Peace Walker head started to glow.

"EM PULSE AT MAXIMUN!"

"Wait, what?" Muttered Leonhardt when he heard that. It gave him a bad feeling about it.

The missiles suddenly started to move in disarray as soon as it got closer to Zeke.

Then to everyone's shock, the missiles redirected to their position.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Shouted Sokkia in disbelief.

They tried to dodge, but the missiles impact to the ground caused their Knightmares to fall on the ground.

*BOOM!*

"AAAHHH!" They all screamed in pain.

Marrybell managed to dodge and looked around to see the mess that she unknowingly caused.

"I don't believe this!" Said Marrybell in shock.

Ashley watched how the Glinda Knights and his fellow Knights got beaten by Zeke, it pissed him off that they are losing one by one. Still, he grins at the excitement he didn't have before. He then decided to ditch his rifle then armed himself with two MVS Swords.

Zeke turned its attention at him.

"Alright, machine. Come on, give me the excitement that I didn't have back in the E.U.!" Ashley hissed while grinning. He then burned up his Landspinner tires.

"GIVE ME A REAL FIGHT!"

Ashley's Blood Red Gloucester landspinner charged at Zeke.

Zeke decided to charge forward. Now both were about to clash each other, when suddenly, jumped above Ashley and landed on his Knightmare.

"Ugh, you son of a…!" Cursed Ashley.

Then Zeke used its jetpack to fly upward and fire its machine guns again at them.

Shin then managed to come up with a plan after he finished observing Zeke.

"Your Highness, may I suggest a plan?" Shin contacted Marrybell.

"What is it, General Shaing?" Asked Marrybell.

"I analyzed its pattern and I figured out what it can and cannot do" Said Shin. This caught Marrybell's attention, so she decided to hear him out.

"I'm all ears, general"

Meanwhile Zeke continued shooting at them. The Glinda Knights and the Asura Force were now taking cover again while also feeling exhausted.

"Glinda Knights! Use your rocket launchers again, we have a plan now!" Spoke Marrybell through their comm.

Zeke eyes blinked as it detected the heat of the missiles. It then landed on the ground and waited for the Glinda Knights to fire their missiles.

Once the Glinda Knights fired their missiles, Zeke activated it' EM Pulse.

"EM PULSE AT MAXIMUN!" Proclaimed Zeke.

The missiles moved randomly at the field and was going to redirect back.

But then…

…

End of OST

…

*STAB!*

"OW!" Zeke shouted in pain.

On Zeke's back, a rapier was stabbed, and it was caused by the Gracchus, with its right arm extension length.

Shin looked pleased at Jean. After he observed Zeke, he found out that while this machine has multiple functions and attacks, it could only use one at a time.

The damage on the back caused Zeke's jet back to malfunction, thus rendering it inoperable. It also caused Zeke to crouch down and leaving it open.

"Now its defenseless!" Spoke Jean through her comm.

"Now is our chance! Fire!" Commanded Marrybell.

With that, they all unleashed their weapons on Zeke, both with rifles and rocket launcher.

*BOOM!*

*TRATATATATATA!*

Zeke sustained heavy damages. The jetpacks were destroyed, 2 machine guns were blown up due to the missiles and the radome was hit numerous times. Now Zeke wouldn't be able to perform as good as it was initially.

Zeke managed to recover itself and jumped backward in order to stay in a safe distance.

…

Sick Bay

…

Meanwhile back in the Sick Bay helipads, Yang, Lightning and the rest of the MSF forces continued holding back the Britannians. They were able to take down many Britannian soldiers, but unfortunately, they also got several casualties.

Yang, Lightning, the Flying Dragons and MSF soldiers were taking cover behind buildings as they exchanged fire with the Britannians.

Yang reloaded her continued to fire furiously at the Euro-Britannians. There was no end for them, they kept coming and to top it, they were well trained unlike the normal Britannian soldiers.

"Miss Yang, Miss Lightning! The last transport has left!" Informed an MSF soldier.

They turned around from behind their cover and saw the last Air Transport leaving the area in a safe distance.

"Finally, they left" Sighed Yang in relief.

Lightning quickly contacted Miller.

"Miller, this is Lightning! The last of the transports have left!"

"Good! All of you, go to the Hangar for the evacuation!"

"What?! We are leaving?!" Shouted Yang in shock.

"Sadly. The Britannians took over most of our struts and Alligator came up with an idea. But it involves us evacuating the base"

This shocked everyone who was hearing this from Miller.

"No…" Said Yang in sadness.

"I don't like this at all either, but it's our only option left. So, hurry now! We don't have much time, we only got half an hour left!" Said Miller.

"Understood!" Said Lightning.

*TRATATATATATAT!*

But just when they were going to leave, a new wave of Britannian soldiers appeared.

"Give me a break, damn it!" Said Yang in annoyance, he reloaded her CAW and began firing at them again.

Lightning was about to draw out her handgun, until she saw something shining from far away on a building. Then she noticed a laser sight and it was aimed at Yang's chest.

Lightning's eyes widened at it, knowing what it is.

"YANG!" Lightning screamed and was going to tackle her to avoid the sniper.

*BAM!*

Yang fell to the ground, hurt by the impact to the ground.

"Was that a sniper? Man, that was pretty close. Thank…you…sis?" Yang's voice started to decrease when she saw Lightning, her sister, laying on the ground, with a small puddle of blood.

"Sis!" Yang cried and quickly held Lightning. She turned her around to see that the shot hit her chest, and blood was coming out from it.

"No…No…No..NONONO!" Stuttered Yang. She couldn't believe at what she was seeing and it all happened so fast and sudden.

Some of the MSF soldiers quickly arrived to Yang's side and saw Lightning's state.

"Someone, call a medic!" Shouted Yang in desperation.

One of the MSF soldiers took out his sniper rifle and searched for the sniper.

He managed to found him and aimed at the bastard.

*BAM!*

*FWOSH!*

The Britannian sniper fell on the ground lifeless.

One of the MSF soldiers happened to be a medic and quickly tried to help Lightning, who was unconscious.

The MSF medic quickly tried to cover the wound, but since they were under attack, it was proving to be difficult.

"We have to carry her out! I can't help her in this condition!" Said the MSF medic.

Yang quickly and carefully carried Lightning.

"Cover me!" Shouted Yang.

With that Yang carried Lightning, accompanied by a few MSF soldiers.

Once they were away, the remaining MSF forces started to retreat, with the Britannians already taking over the Sick Bay.

…

With Zangief

…

Zangief and the MSF soldiers looked in shock on how the Glinda Knights managed to damage Zeke heavily.

"Damn it, I can't let the Britannians get the upper hand!" Said Zangief in anger

Suddenly, there was a transmission from Miller to all the MSF forces.

"Attention, all MSF personal, proceed to the evacuation on the main Hangar immediately! Big Boss, myself and some of our forces stay until everyone has left!"

All the MSF soldiers were stunned at Miller's commands. No one wanted to leave, they'd rather stay here and fight for their home.

Zangief looked around his soldiers and friends. He didn't want any of them to die, so he made an ultimate decision…

"YOU'VE HEARD MILLER! ALL OF YOU, GO!" Shouted Zangief.

Alpha team and Bravo team were the first to snap out of it and nodded.

"Let's go, all of you!" Alpha and Bravo team ordered everyone to retreat.

Zangief saw an unused MSF Sutherland Knightmare and got an idea.

Just when he was climbing it, the leader of Alpha team spoke to him.

"Sir, what are you doing?!" Questioned the Alpha team leader.

"I'm giving you all time to go to the transports, don't worry about me!"Replied Zangief.

"But sir! We can't just leave you-!"

"I SAID GO!" Roared Zangief, stunning the 2 team.

After a few seconds, the leader of alpha team nodded sadly.

"Understood sir" The 2 team left Zangief alone.

He didn't mean to be harsh, but he wanted them to live. He turned his sight to the enemy forces and entered the Gloucester.

…

In the West Hangar

…

"Finally, we have the advantage!" Said Alan in relief now getting ready to take Zeke.

"Alan, get to distance so you can use your sniper!" Johanne said then armed his Knightmare with the Lance "I'll give you time and a signal"

"Alright, careful Johanne!" Alan replied, then he dashed away and readied his sniper rifle

"Here we go, now I can…huh?!"

Alan spotted from his left side something unexpected. A green Gloucester charging with many Knightmares and soldiers being blown away.

"What in the name of-" Alan didn't finish as the Gloucester focused on him.

Alan quickly aimed his sniper at it.

"HUUUUAAAAH!" Zangief roared.

"What the hell!" Shouted Alan, seeing how fast the Gloucester was charging.

Alan wasn't able to dodge as the Gloucester crashed against his Knightmare and with a lot of force, Alan was tossed to the ocean.

"What is this shiiiiiiit!?" Shouted Alan as he fell to the ocean.

"Alan!" Shouted Johanne.

Johanne charged at the Gloucester with its lance ready.

Zangief quickly maneuvered his Knightmare to dodge the lance to his left side, then he sucker punched the red Gloucesters cockpit.

"Huh!" Grunted Johanne.

The Glinda Knights, Ashley, Shin and Jean quickly noticed the new arrival.

Next, the Gloucester grabbed with its 2 arms Johanne's Gloucesters body. Then it proceeded to do what no one expected a Knightmare would do… It started to do 2 forward suplexes and then jumped up to do a pildrive.

"I CALL THIS…THE FINAL ATOMIC BUSTER!" Roared Zangief he pildrived Johanne's Knightmare.

The Impact caused the head to break and then fall to the ground, with sparks around it.

Johanne looked in terror while trying to get out from his Knightmare.

Ashley looked in fury, not pleased to see one of his comrades get beaten up like that.

Marrybell turned to Shin, Jean and Ashley

"Take care of that one! We will handle the machine!" Proclaimed Marrybell.

"Understood, your highness" Said Shin.

Shin, Jean and Ashley charged to fight Zangief.

"HUUUAAAAHH!" Zangief roared again and charged at them. He tried to punch Shin, but Shin dodge the attack by moving to his left.

Jean used her Gracchus extended arm to pierce the Gloucester. But Zangief back handed it with its right hand and was going to grab it.

"Not so fast!" Ashley said as appeared with his Knightmare's rifle and started to shoot at him.

Zangief quickly dashed away and hid behind a building.

…

Meanwhile in the R&D

…

Currently, Adalhelm and the rest of the MSF soldiers were able to get into the R&D when they managed to cross by making a new bridge with any resources they could find.

Thanks to Kane, many transports were able to evacuate more than half of the scientist's staffs. Unfortunately, there weren't more transports available, leaving only one option, which is evacuating the remaining staffs in the old fashion way.

Adalhelm and the rest managed to reunite all the remaining staffs, including Sam and Yoshiyuki.

"This is the plan, the last of the transports are in the main Hangar, once we cross the connecting bridge of the R&D and the Command Center, we should be safe!"

"We've got your back! Said one of the MSF soldiers.

They managed to get to the exit. So Adalhelm stood next to the exit and started to tell the rest to get out.

"Quickly!"

One of the scientists was about to get out from the exit.

"We did, we are sa-!"

*TRATATATATATATA!*

Suddenly, bullets came from inside the room and hit the scientist from the back, killing him in the process.

Adalhelm looked in shock and then looked inside. He saw several squadrons of Britannian soldiers.

"Move! Move! Move!" Shouted Adalhelm as he took out his assault rifle and fired at them, with the MSF soldiers joining.

In a matter of minutes, MSF forces were being overwhelmed by the Euro-Britannians.

"Damn it, where do they even come from!" Shouted Adalhelm with frustration.

"Rocket Launcher! Watch out!" Shouted an MSF soldier, spotting a Britannian soldier with said weapon.

*BOOM!*

Adalhelm and several MSF soldiers tried to take cover, but the missiles hit the wall and the impact caused them to fall to the ground and being stunned.

"AAAHHHH!"

"I'm hit!"

Adalhelm tried to get and saw some of the MSF soldiers injured and trying to fight back.

Adalhelm breathed hard and then felt a pain. He looked down and saw that a sharp fragment of the wall stabbed his sides.

"Adalhelm!" Sam and Yoshiyuki approached him. Their eyes widened at the fatal injured he received.

"I'll be fine" Said Adalhelm with a painful tone.

"You've got a shrapnel in your right abdomen!" Exclaimed Sam.

"I said…" Adalhelm grabbed the shrapnel.

"I'll…be…FINE!" Adahelm shouted as the shrapnel was taken out.

"We need to patch you up!" Yoshiyuki quickly took off his lab coat and was about to fold Adalhelm's wound, but Adalhelm declined it.

"No… There is no time. You all need to get out, quick!"

"What are you saying?! In the state you are, it's better if we all get out!" Shouted Sam.

"No, your safety comes first!" Replied Adalhelm as he got up.

"Goddamn it! Have you lost your mind?!" Shouted Yoshiyuki.

Adalhelm just chuckled.

"I'm always losing my mind" Said Adalhelm, he then snatched an assault rifle from an MSF soldier, startling him.

"All of you… Do me a favor, and get out of here with the staffs. THAT'S AN ORDER!" Shouted Adalhelm as he charged at the Britannians.

"NOO! Adalhelm!" Sam tried to go after him, but he was held back by Yoshiyuki.

Yoshiyuki shut his eyes in sadness, but he decided to do what Adalhelm told them to do.

"Let's get out of here!" Shouted Yoshiyuki while dragging Sam, who had tears in his eyes.

…

In the Mission support

…

Alligator's Sutherland ducked while he was panting from the fight with Bismarck. No matter how much he tried, the Knight of One just manages to beat him.

Now he was currently taking cover behind a destroyed building. Alligator checked the IDROID and saw that it was almost done, 80 percent.

But then, from the top, he saw a shadow. It turned out to be the Galahad with sword ready to stab him.

"DIE!" Bismarck shouted and was about to stab him.

Alligator quickly ran away, he needed to buy more time in order to complete his task.

"Come back and fight! You have done nothing but run! I thought you were supposed to be Big Boss's best soldier? WAS THAT ALL JUST TALK?!" Barked Bismarck in disgust.

Bismarck then saw Alligator dashing again. In order to stop it from moving, he decided to throw his sword.

The sword then cut the Sutherland's legs, causing it to fall to the ground.

"Huh!" Grunted Alligator.

Bismarck then approached the Sutherland, he crouched to grab his Galahad's sword and prepared to make the blow.

"This is your end, traitor" Said Bismarck darkly.

Alligator looked at his IDROID and couldn't help but let out a smirk.

"No… This is just beginning, Knight of One" Mocked Alligator.

Bismarck snarled and then stabbed the cockpit.

"AAAH!" Alligator screamed painfully as his body was pierced by the sword.

"Pathetic. You are just a coward" Spat Bismarck, then it left him to die.

Alligator breathed hard as he continued to see his IDROID.

"So much for being Big Boss's best soldier" Chuckled Alligator, he thought that he could be as good as him, but his last fight was just him avoiding the Knight of One while preparing his last card against the Britannians.

"Sorry… Boss…Looks like I won't be able to detonate it in time" Alligator said, even though Big Boss wouldn't be able to hear.

" Forgive me…Cornelia…I…won't…be..able…to..protect….Euphy…." Alligator said his last words as he lost his strength and closed his eyes.

Alligator, Big Boss's best soldier, was now dead.

…

Back in the West Hangar

…

Zangief continued fighting against Shin, Jean and Ashley. But sadly, they proved to be formidable opponents. To make it worse, his previous injury was taking its toll on him.

He tried to get his Knightmare to get up, but he couldn't, his injury preventing him to move his body.

"Looks like you are at your limit, soldier" Said Shin.

"Not…yet" Said Zangief.

Jean the approached it with Gracchus ready to stab it.

"Any last words?" Asked Jean.

"Yes…" Zangief looked up and using the last of his strength and will, he managed to grab the Gracchus.

"UH!" Grunted Jean almost in surprise. She then stabbed the cockpit, the rapier piercing Zangief's body.

"Ugh!" Zangief cough some blood, but he was determined to not give up yet.

"LONG….LIVE….OUTER…HEEAAAVEEENN!" Zangief roared.

The Gloucester then supplexed the Gracchus 2 times and did again the piledrive.

"FINAL ATOMIC BUSTER!" Yelled Zangief with all his strength.

"I-Impossible!" Said Jean in disbelief that Zangief was able to do this move despite the stabbing he received.

The Gracchus was heavily damaged, causing the cockpit to automatically eject. A moment later, the Gracchus exploded, along with Zangief.

Inside the Gloucester, Zangief was already lifeless, with his eyes closed and a smile, then the explosion consumed his body.

Ashley looked in amazement on how Zangief managed to beat Jean.

Shin quickly approached Jean's cockpit.

"Jean, are you alright?" Asked Shin.

"Yes, master Shaing" Breathed Jean while holding her left arm.

"I suggest you retreat, Jean. You arm seems to be dislocated after that impact" Said Shin.

"But, I can still fight!" Retorted Jean.

"Jean" Shin said her name with a sternly tone.

Jean looked down and reluctantly nodded.

"Understood"

Back with the Glinda Knights, Zeke was able to recover and tried to fight back, but after the destruction of its radome. Zeke couldn't perform well like before.

Leonhardt, Marika, Sokkia and Tink continued firing at Zeke who was still able to dodge them.

"Just what is this thing made of?! We hit it with everything and it still manages to overpower us!" Exclaimed Sokkia.

While they were keeping Zeke occupied. Marrybell decided to use her Lancelot Trial Varis. She barely used it, mainly because this version of Varis is only one-shot unlike the Lancelot piloted by Suzaku.

She then took aim while the Glinda Knights did their job.

Zeke ran forward and was going to tackle them, but the Glinda Knights moved away.

"Look, even if it's still moving, it's not working like before, we can take this thing down!" Said Leonhardt.

Zeke then got up and jumped backward, away from the Glinda Knights.

Next it recharged the rail gun and aimed at them.

"Careful, it's doing that rail gun attack again!" Warned Tink.

"Glinda Knights, move around! Give it a hard target to hit!" Commanded Marrybell while she aimed directly at Zeke, hoping to hit it.

Zeke started to chase and pick which Glinda Knight to shoot. Thankfully, the damages it sustained didn't made Zeke blind. So what it did was point the rail gun… At Marrybell.

"Oh no!" Said Leonhardt.

"Lady Marrybell!" Shouted Sokkia in worry.

Marrybell sweat when she saw Zeke point the rail gun at her, but she steadied herself and concentrated the target.

Then, at the same time…

*BAM!*

*BAM!*

The Varis and the rail gun shot. The 2 projectiles clashed each other, creating a big explosion and a powerful wave.

"AAAHHHH!" All the Glinda Knights shouted. Sokkia fell to the ground, Leonhardt and Tink were blown to the walls and Marika was hit against the ground very hard, koncikng her out in the process.

Marrybell was holding her ground as the powerful wave was pushing her Knightmare.

Ashley, Shin and Jean took cover behind the buildings and waiting the wave to pass.

Sokkia was about to get up, until suddenly…

*BAM!*

The rail gun hit Sokkia's Knightmare, causing it to automatically eject. But just when it was ejected, it crashed against the walls of the hangar.

"AAAAHHH!" Sokkia screamed.

"Sokkia!" Leonahrdt and Tink both cried out in worry.

Marrybell saw that happen and quickly called her.

"Sokkia, can you hear me?" Marrybell called her through the comm, but she could only hear static "Come on, Talk to me!"

"M-Marry-bell...I... can't...move" Sokkia finally speaks, but it hears like she was in pain

"I think I..*cough*...i think my shoulder is broken"

Marrybell quickly went to Sokkia's cockpit.

Sokkia's Sutherland was in bad shape, but the cockpit was like a can being crushed.

Zeke turned its sight and focused on Leonhardt and Tink.

"UUUUAAAAHHH!" Leonhardt snapped as he charged with his lance.

"Leonhardt!" Tink screamed.

Zeke jumped forward, Leonhardt saw it coming and prepared to stab it with the lancer.

But Zeke delivered a flying kick with the right leg and hit his Knightmares right shoulder.

Then Zeke landed in front of him and with a big surprise, he had the rail gun ready on its chest, in point blank range.

Tink saw this, so he revs his Knightmare's Landspinner to head straight at Leonhardt, then push him out of the way.

*BAM!*

Tink's Sutherland was pierced from its cockpit and him, his whole body was blasted from the rail gun.

(Note: on the Code Geass Wikipedia, it is stated that 30% of Tink Lockhart's body are replaced with cybernetics, so in this I'm going to assume that his lower body is cybernetic)

"TINK!"

"TINK NO!"

Marrybell and Leonhardt screamed respectively at what just happened to their friend.

Marrybelle gripped her sword furiously. She decided to take this matter with her own hands.

"Shin, Ashley! Go and attack their main base! This machine is mine alone!" Said Marrybell with venom.

"Understood" Both men replied. Ashley and Shin dashed away to join the Euro-Britannians. Jean then went on a VTOL and flew back to the St Michaels Longress.

"Leonhardt, with me, now!" Commanded Marrybell. With her Lancelot Maser Vibration Swords ready.

"Yes, my lady!" Leonhardt drew out his Bradford's duel arms.

They both charged at Zeke, with Zeke doing the same thing.

Zeke was about to tackle them, but Marrybell moved away and proceeded to slash Zeke's legs in order to immobilize it.

It cut a bit, prompting Zeke to turn around and try to kick Lancelot Trial. But then, the Bradford appeared from behind and started to slash Zeke's leg again.

*ROAR!*

Zeke let out a painful roar as it crouched down.

"Die!" Marrybell screamed as she went for a stab with her 2 swords.

*STAB!*

*ROAR!*

Zeke roared again in pain. It tried to get up, but this time it finally gave in and fell on the ground.

Marrybell and Leonhardt breathed hard while looking at the defeated Zeke.

"it.. finally…done" Said Leonhardt between breaths.

"Yes… But, we still have work to do" Said Marrybell, referring to the remaining forces of MSF.

"What about this thing?" Asked Leonhardt.

Marrybell didn't want to have this thing after the trouble it caused, but she wasn't blind and knows when an asset is useful.

"Have our men take it away. Dismantle it if necessary" Said Marrybell.

"Understood!" Leonhardt acknowledge her orders as he quickly went to check her fiancé and friends, while at it, he ordered men to take Zeke away.

Marrybel then glared at the Command Center.

"We are almost there"

…

Meanwhile with Kane

…

After defeating half the ships and the squadrons of Euro-Britannian Knightmares lead by Swordmasters of . Kane saw the air force fleet, or what's left of, changing course and heading straight to Mother Base, he was about to go and stop them but suddenly his alert went on. He noticed a volley of machine gun and missiles headed straight to him. He raised his shield against the missiles. After that, he was greeted by someone unexpected…

It was a red Lancelot.

"You won't destroy any more of our ships!" Spoke the voice of the pilot, who turns out to be Oldrin.

Kane looked in surprise, not expecting to meet her so soon.

"Well, this is unexpected"

Oldrin also looked in surprise as he recognized that voice, the same man he fought an hour ago back in the Tokyo Settlement.

"You again!"

"Indeed" said Kane, then he charged at her with his sword.

They both clashed with their own melee weapons until they started to fly and change to firearms.

They both flew to the destroyed Britannian ships and fought there.

They kept exchanging fire, Oldrin shooting her rail rounds from her VARIS Rifle while Kane went on full auto of Celerium Rounds from his SKAR-X Rifle, she continued on getting on cover to cover since she only got 30% power left. Kane kept on blocking with his shield from her VARIS shots, it didn't damage Veltro's armor, but each Rail rounds packed a punch.

Oldrin's VARIS Rifle was overheating from continuously firing, so she rushed on destroyed Fighter plane using as cover still not relying on her Blaze Shield, while Kane continued firing his SKAR-X until his magazine ran out.

"Damn it, last two mags" Kane cursed himself when he checked his Knightmare's ammo that got only two Celerium Magazine. When he was about to change his magazine, he noticed the Red Lancelot revs the Landspinner and then rush straight to him

"What the hell?"

"GOT YOU NOW!" Oldrin shouts. Veltro fires its rifle and that's when she used her Blaze Shield, she tackled him and they both clashed against the walls.

*SLAM*

"UGH!" Kane grunted, not seeing this coming. After the clashing, he dropped his SKAR-X and his shield that has his Blaze Axes, he went to grab the Lancelot's head and chest and was about to fly up.

"Oh no you don't!" Oldrin's Lancelot grabbed Veltro's back then useded her Slash Harken to the deck, forcing Kane's Knightmare to stop his flying

"NO MORE FLYING THIS TIME!"

She saw her VARIS Rifle overheat condition now cool down and aimed at Veltro's side.

Kane's eyes widened at this. Oldrin shot one in close range, that made Kane's Knightmare stop his Jet Thrusters then falls down to the ship deck together with Oldrin's Knightmare.

Now they were on a distance with each other. They slowly recovered, but Oldrin lost her VARIS Rifle while falling so she only is armed with her MVS Sword.

For Kane, he got one, his Blaze Luminous Saber. He grabbed it and then activate his Blue Beam Blade, Oldrin was nervous at the laser like sword.

"You are good, no wonder the Empire chose you as a Lancelot's pilot" Kane praised her, he thought that she was an arrogant knight that pilots a Lancelot, but he was wrong.

"Look, we can stop this fight, join us and serve the princess" Oldrin tried to reason with him

"if you're a supporter of the Nightwolf Family, we can still continue what they do and stop those enemies terrorizing the Britannian Empire"

There was a long silence. Oldrin smiled, thinking that maybe he finally understands her, she walked forward but then…

*FWINSH*

She reacted fast from his Blaze Saber attack, her Lancelot still got hit though by the tip of the Beam Blade, the chest part was molten burnt.

"HOW DARE YOU?!" She shouts then points her sword at Veltro

"Attacking me by letting my guard down?!"

"You are not even worth to fight fair"Kane growled, he was disappointed on how blind she is loyal to her princess

"I don't know if you are blind or stupid to realize that the Princess you serve is not that kind of Saint"

"You dont know her!"

"Oh yes, I do"

Kane remembers Princess Marrybell long time ago, she was not a nice person, she is the one who left him behind at the Canada Forest Camp back when they were kids and he was lost in the deep forest that has wild coyotes and bears. if wasn't for those unknown pack of wolves that saved him before, he would have become a dinner for those wild animals. When his parents asked how he got lost, Kane decided to keep quiet about it since Marrybell is the Princess of Imperial Britannia Family and a close friend of Oldrin.

Kane took out his Knightmare Lance and was now using his sword and lance as his weapons.

Oldrin's Lancelot let out a barrage of sword attacks while Kane used the Lance as shield, all thanks to the training from his mother when she taught him how to use both Lance and Sword, so he decide to use this knowledge for his Knightmare piloting skills.

…

Flashback

…

In a courtyard, it shows a woman and a child. The woman, who is Kane's mother, Angelus Nightwolf, was showing him how she can fight both lance and sword, she wore a blue noble outfit with a whit shoulder cape and her golden hair was tied in braided bun while her son is wearing a squire training outfit.

( Angelus' appearance is like Artoria Pendragon Lancer from Fate Grand Order in Formal Dress)

"Mother why are you using both Lance and Sword?" Her son asked while holding his short sword

"Isn't that too heavy to wield and hard to attack?"

"Son, even we wield both weapons, you can use it not only for offense" she explained while doing impale stances

"You can also use this as a defense"

The training dummy bot attacked her with the sword, she used her lance to block, then slide forward to hit the shoulder as counter attack, then used her sword for a right horizontal slash to take out whole left part of the body, and lastly, she impaled the dummy bot with both of her sword and lance, ending the fight gracefully by spreading her weapons wide, destroying the dummy completely.

Kane was in awe of her mother's skills.

"Listen carefully, my son" Angelus informed her son, while standing her Lance and sheath her sword, then looked at Kane with a warm smile "it doesn't matter if you wield heavy weapons. As long you are skilled to use it, you will come out top"

…

Flashback end

…

Veltro was able to stop her barrage sword attacks by stabbing the floor so her sword would hit the sides of the Lance. He also slipped on Lancelot's hand then he swong his Blaze Saber to take out her right arm.

"No...this cant be!" Oldrin mumbled in shock. Her Red Lancelot lost the right hand. She backed up while activating her Blaze Shield.

"You see, Oldrin? You can't defeat me!" Shouted Kane as he readied his weapons.

…

In the main lab of R&D

…

Footsteps were heard on the hall, with countless dead Britannian soldiers. The responsible for the massacre, was none other than Adalhelm himself.

He was completely exhausted, not to mention of the injury he has on his abdomen.

He knows that there was no saving for him at this point. He ventured too deep into the R&D in order to stop the Britannians from getting out.

He could still hear footsteps coming to his direction. Knowing what to do, he went inside the lab and sat on a chair.

Adalhelm breathed hard from exhaustion.

The door was then slammed open revealing a large group of Britannians, with weapons ready to gun him down.

Adalhelm let out a dry laugh as he looked at them.

"Looks like you guys got me" Muttered Adalhelm.

The Britannians wasted no time and fired at Adalhelm.

*TRATATATATATATA!*

Bullets riddle into his body, but surprisingly, he was still alive despite the amount of bullets he received.

Adalhelm looked at them and let out a smirk.

"SEE…YOU…IN…HELL!" Said Adalhelm as he took out a detonator and pressed the button.

*BOOM!*

The R&D strut exploded

…

In the Command Center

….
Right now, the ones who are taking a stand on the platform of the command center were Miller, Big Boss and 50 MSF soldiers. The bridges were all blocked with armored vehicles and everything is barricaded.

Big Boss checked his Knightmare's status. It showed that he got 60 percent more of energy, but his Patriot suffered a major feedback. A normal Patriot could fire a large quantity of ammos, it was still considered a mystery on how it could fire unlimited ammo. But the scientists managed to create a replica of the Patriot for Big Boss's Knightmare. The SNAKE's Patriot has the same function as the original one, but it required the Patriot to cooldown its firepower and then recharge. Unfortunately, due to the circumstances they are facing right now, Big Boss pushed the Patriot to its limits, causing it to overheat and get jammed.

As for this moment, Big Boss has no other choice but to use a normal Knightmare rifle against the Britannians.

"Kaz, is everyone in their transports?" Big Boss asked.

"Yes. I've got reports that Amanda and Chico loaded all the staff members and left the base" Informed Miller.

*BOOM!*

Everyone turned to the direcition of the explosion, which came from the R&D.

"That was from the R&D! What happened there?!" Said Miller in shock.

"Adalhelm? What happened there!" Big Boss called, but received only static.

"No signal" Muttered Big Boss.

"You don't mean he's…!" Said Miller in realization.

"I hope not" Said Big Boss. He then opened his IDROID and checked what Alligator sent to him after the data was loaded to his IDROID.

It was a countdown, and there was only 20 minutes left.

Suddenly the armored vehicles were slammed away, and now the Euro-Britannians were crossing the bridges.

Now, this could be their final battle…

…

In Japan

…

The situation with the Black Rebellion took a sudden turn as the Black Knights started to lose terrain.

It happened after Zero gave Tohdoh full command while also telling him that he had an urgent matter to solve. Tohdoh was bewildered at what Zero said wondering what else could be more important than the Black Rebellion, not to mention that the enemy reinforcements had arrived, along with the Knight of Nine.

In Ashford Academy, the situation wasn't faring well either as the Avalon arrived and helped against the Black Knights.

The Black Knights suffered a heavy blow in both Ashford Academy and Tokyo Settlement. First, Ohgi was shot by Villetta Nu, who just recovered her memories. Second, Zero apparently abandoned them to do who knows what. Third, they were losing the battle since there was no command, despite Tohdoh's best attempt to control the situation. And lastly, they are forced to retreat from Ashford Academy.

Before everyone got out, Ohgi asked Kallen to go after Zero and find out what was going on. Kallen spotted the Lancelot, so she decided to go after it, knowing that Suzaku was going after Lelouch too.

…

In the Hangar

…

The Hangar was now almost empty. Amanda, Chico, Dafne and Akira continued to help the last of the MSF members to leave.

Right now, Gregory, Cornelio, Mosquito, Akio, David, Eye, Finger and few MSF soldiers arrived to the hangar and started to board the last of the transports.

"Is everyone here?!" Gregory asked Amanda.

"I was informed a few minutes ago that Yang, Lightning and a few MSF soldiers haven't boarded yet!" Said Amanda.

"Damn it, where are they?!" Said Gregory a bit frustrated.

"LOOK!" Chico then pointed at the entrance of the Hangar.

They saw Yang and the remaining soldiers, but they also saw something alarming. It was Lightning, being carried by Yang while bleeding badly.

"Oh my god" Muttered Amanda in horror.

Gregory took action and sprinted to help them.

"Gregory wait!"

"AMANDA! Enemy incoming!" Chico shouted as they saw outside of the entrance Britannian soldiers approaching Yang and her group.

"THERE THEY ARE!"

"SHOOT BEFORE THEY ESCAPE!" The Britannians began firing at them.

Gregory took out his handgun and shot 15 bullets skillfully at the Britannian soldiers.

"GO!" Gregory shouted to Yang and the remaining MSF Forces.

They ran as fast as they could to the transport, but fate was not kind to them…

"Amanda, enemy aircraft in front of us!" The piloted shouted.

Amanda looked from the cockpit's window and saw 2 VTOL gunships aiming at them.

She quickly got out of the transport with a rocket launcher and shoot at the VTOL gunship on the right side.

*BOOM!*

The VTOL gunships right arm exploded, which caused it to veer to the left and crash against the other VTOL. But then, the left VTOl that was going to fire missiles on them, looked up and fired at the ceiling.

*BOOM!*

A huge chunk of the ceiling fell on the ground, blocking Yang and her group.

"Gregory!" Yang shouted to him.

"Gregory turned around and cursed to see at the misfortune.

"Amanda! Leave now, there is nothing you can do!" Gregory said through his comm.

"But what about you?!" Asked Amanda.

"We'll find a way! Go, now!" Ordered Gregory.

"Mierda! (shit)" Amanda cursed and got inside the transport.

Now, Yang, Gregory, Lightning and 10 MSF soldiers were now on their own.

"Yang, put Lightning down, I need to check her injuries!" Ordered Gregory.

Yang obeyed and softly laid Lightning down. Gregory then checked her. He understood from the injuries that it was caused by a sniper. The MSF medic did all he could, but the injury caused by the sniper rifle was embedded deep in her chest.

"Gregory, my sis is going to be ok, right?" Yang asked hopefully.

Gregory couldn't help but feel conflicted, not sure on what to say to her. The injury was fatal and there was no way that Lightning can survive.

"Yang…I-"

"Sir! More Britannians!" Interrupted an MSF soldier. The entrance began entering more Britannians.

The situation wasn't good, not only the Britannian's got in, but they were running out of ammos.

"This is your end, mercenary scums!" Shouted the Britannian.

Yang hugged Lightning and shut her eyes in fear.

Gregory and the 10 MSF soldiers armed themselves, ready to face their own deaths.

All seemed to be heir end.

*TRATATATATA!*

But the unexpected happened. Bullets hit the Britannians from behind and they started to fall on the ground dead.

Gregory and the rest looked to see someone they didn't expect.

It was Eliza and 4 MSF soldiers, all of them holding assault rifles.

"Eliza!" Shouted Gregory in surprise.

"Looks like I got here in time" Eliza said as she walked forward to them.

"But how did you get here? I thought you were fighting against the Britannian ships!" Said Gregory bewildered.

"I was, until they told me to get back and help the evac" Said Eliza. Then she turned serious.

"But enough chatting, we've got to leave and….Yang? Light?!" Said Eliza in shock as she went to the 2 sisters.

"E-Eliza, Sis is…" Yang cried with everything that was happening.

Eliza gritted her teeth, she saw how Lightning was still unconscious and she deduced that she got shot by those Britannians. Once again, they are taking away her friends and family.

"That wall over there" Eliza pointed to the wall on the right side of the wall.

Gregory and the rest looked at that door.

"there is a hidden door that serves in case of emergency, it leads to the deck, where my Valkyrie is waiting!" Explained Eliza.

Gregory was surprised, but he decided not to waste time and went to that wall. He searched it and found a compartment, with a slid, it revealed scanning panel.

"I've found it!" Shouted Gregory.

"Good, use your ID, only MSF personals are able to open it!" Said Eliza.

With that, Gregory opened the door, revealing stairs that goes down.

Eliza called one of the MSF soldiers to help Yang carry Lightning. Gregory was the first to get in, followed by Yang and the rest, Eliza was the last one to enter.

Unbeknownst to them, there were Britannians hiding outside the entrance and saw the whole thing.

The last group of MSF soldiers were now close to the Deck as they walked down the stairs. Gregory was leading them to the lower part of the Deck, Yang was carrying Lightning, the MSF soldiers were following behind and Eliza was guarding the rear while following them.

They reached to the secret room which would lead them to the shipyard where the Valkyrie is waiting.

"There is a control panel!" Said Gregory.

"We need to input the override code in order to open it, it will take me some time to open it" Said Eliza as she was about to input the code.

That is when an MSF soldier stepped in.

"Commander Eliza, let me help too! I worked on the R&D for some time, and I'm an expert on hacking!"

Gregory and Eliza were surprised from what the MSF soldier said.

Eliza decided not to argue and nodded.

ThThey started to do their work. The MSF soldier was operating the control and inserting the codes in order to open it with the help of Eliza, Yang laid Lightning softly to the ground, Gregory, and the MSF soldiers closed the door and maintained guard in case the Britannians got in.

"How long will it take?" Asked Gregory.

"It should take 5 minutes! But with his help, it should be done in 3 minutes" Said Eliza, as she and the MSF soldier started to input and hack.

Eliza was surprised at his efficiency, maybe they could get out of here faster than she expected.

*BOOM!*

Suddenly, a loud explosion noise was heard from the upstairs.

"Make it quick! Looks like they found the entrance!" Said Gregory in alarm.

Yang was holding Lightning. Lightning then groaned and softly opened her eyes.

"Yang?"

Yang quickly looked at Lightning.

"Sis, save your strength, we are going to be out of here soon! Just hang in there!" Reassured Yang.

"Yang…Life was good, wasn't it?"

…

Start OST "Enclosure" MGS 4 version, Metal Gear Solid 4

…

"W-What?" Stuttered Yang.

"These…These past 10 years has really been fun, I…really did enjoy it" Said Lightning softly.

"What are you talking about?! Everything is going to be ok! Our medics will make sure that you survive!" Said Yang in a distraught tone. They told her that Lightning didn't have much time, but she refused to believe them.

"Yang…"

"We've been through situations worse than this! You will survive this, sis! When we get out of this mess, you can retire and live a normal happy life! I'll do the work and support you!"

Lightning formed a small smile as she continued to hear Yang.

"You'll see! You will live, meet someone you love and have a family!" Yang spoke with a desperate yet encourage tone.

Lightning laughed softly with tears falling from her eyes.

"Looks like… You will have to do it in my stead" Said Lightning sadly.

"Stop saying that, sis!" Yelled Yang as tears started to form in her eyes.

Lightning raised her left hand to Yang's right cheek and caressed softly.

"I'm sorry, Yang. I really don't think I'm going to make it" Lightning said softly as she slowly lost her strength.

Yang gripped with her right hand on Lightning's left hand on her cheek, her lips were quivering as she was slowly seeing the reality.

"Please…. Claire!" Yang started to sob as she said Lightning's true name.

"I…love…you…Yang…" Lightning said as her eyes slowly started to close.

"NO! STAY WITH ME! STAY WITH ME, SIS! PLEASE, DON'T LEAVE ME!" Yang yelled, but then she felt Lightning's hand fall from her cheek.

"Sis? Claire?! CLAAIIIREEE!" Yang's eyes were wide. Her sister Claire laid lifeless, with a smile on her face.

Yang then closed her eyes and looked up as she let out an agonizing scream.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Yang cried in agony as she leaned her head on Lightning's chest.

*BAM! * *BAM! * *BAM! *

The door banged loudly, indicating that the Britannians were coming in.

Gregory prepared his rifle, as did the rest of the MSF soldiers.

"The Britannians, they're coming! Hurry up!" Shouted Gregory.

"It's almost done!" Replied the MSF soldier as he hurried with the codes.

Eliza quickly went to Yang's side.

"Yang!" Shouted Eliza, but Yang didn't seem to listen.

"WHY?! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?! JUST WHEN WE FINALLY FOUND A PLACE TO CALL HOME!" Yang screamed.

"Yang! Pull yourself together!" Shouted Eliza.

"It's now open!" Said the MSF soldier who finished unlocking the door.

"Everyone, get out!" Ordered Gregory.

"Yang, look at me!" Eliza held Yang's face to her.

"I know how you are feeling, but you must come to your senses now! The Britannian's are coming in and Lightning said that you will live for her sake, so do what she said and MOVE!" Shouted Eliza in a harsh tone in order to wake up Yang.

Yang started to react while still sobering. She shut her eyes and nodded.

"I want Claire to come with me, I don't want to leave her" Said Yang while still crying.

Eliza nodded, she could at least grant her that wish, so she grabbed Yang's wrist and pulled her to the exit.

"Gregory!" Eliza called him.

Gregory understood what she wanted him to do as he heard what Yang said.

"Guys, cover me!"

"Yes, sir!" The remaining 4 MSF soldiers complied.

Gregory quickly approached Lightning's body and carried her in bridal style.

"Let's go!" With that, the MSF soldiers retreated to the exit.

"Shut the door!" Gregory shouted to the MSF soldier who opened the door.

The MSF soldier nodded, he then wrote down a few codes and the door closed.

Yang gazed for a moment at Claire's body, her smile still present. Yang shut her eyes again as tears still fell from her eyes.

Everyone entered Eliza's flagship as Eliza gave her command to the pilot.

"Everyone is onboard, depart now!"

"Affirmative!"

With that, The Valkyrie departed from the shipyard and was at a safe distance from being boarded.

…

End of OST

…

*BOOM!*

The door's exit blew up and Britannian soldiers entered ready to gun them down, but they found out no one, only the sea and a Destroyer far away from the shipyard.

"God damn it!" Cursed one of the Britannian soldiers as he kicked a wall out of anger.

Now, every MSF ships and aircrafts had now left Mother Base, leaving only Big Boss, Miller, Kane, and 50 MSF soldiers as the only forces left in the Command Center.

…

Kamine Island

…

Zero sprinted through the stairs of the temple until he managed to get to the wall with the strange pattern drawn on it.

"Their trap at the entrance was to buy time. Was I the target? Or C.C? No matter, I need to make sure that Nunally is alright" Thought Lelouch.

He then approached to the wall and was about to inspect, until something stopped him.

*BAM!*

A shot flew past him and hit the wall to his right side.

"That is as far as you're gonna go, Zero. Turn around and face me, slowly." Spoke a voice.

Lelouch turned his head slightly to see that it was Suzaku, with a handgun pointed at him.

"Damn it! Not now!" Thought Lelouch

"Didn't you hear me, Zero? Turn around and face me" Said Suzaku again, but with a colder tone. Lelouch turned around and decided to do his speech.

"Cornelia murdered innocent Japanese people. You'd fight for someone like her? A mons-"

"That Geass power of yours is very useful, isn't it?" Interrupted Suzaku, which caused Lelouch to stop mid-sentence and shocked that Suzaku found out about Geass.

"You'd hide in the shadows while the others take the blame… especially when you ordered her to massacre the Japanese people. You are a coward, Zero. THAT is who you are" Continued Suzaku as he approached him while having his handgun still pointed at him.

"What are you talking about? I did nothing to Cornelia" Stated Lelouch, making it clear that he didn't do anything.

"Save your excuses. I've had enough of them… Kallen!" Shouted Suzaku in the last part, knowing that Kallen was present too.

Kallen, who was down the stairs with a handgun, gasped in surprise.

"Don't you want to know Zero's true identity too?" Inquired Suzaku.

"What are you saying now?!" Asked Kallen angrily.

"You also have a right to bear witness" Suzaku then straightened his handgun properly.

"WAIT!" Shouted Kallen.

*BAM!*

The bullet hit Zero's front helmet, causing it to bounce upwards due to its strong material, but it was strong enough to break his helmet.

*CRACK!*

Zero's helmet broke in half, revealing his true identity to Suzaku and Kallen.

Suzaku and Kallen's eyes widened in disbelief when they saw who was behind the mask.

Suzaku's was brief for a few second until it reverted to an indifferent expression.

"HOW?! WHY?!" Kallen shouted in denial at seeing that Zero was Lelouch. She dropped to her knees while still in shock.

Suzaku's expression was of hurt as he slowly lowered his handgun.

"I didn't want to believe it" Said Suzaku softly as his face was now of anger.

"Lelouch is…?" Said Kallen with tears.

"Yes, I am Zero. The man who leads the Black Knights, who challenges the Holy Britannian Empire and who holds the entire world in his hand" Spoke Lelouch while having a sad smile.

"You used us? You used me?!" Said Kallen still with a shocked tone.

"Not really, Japan will be freed as a result. Surely, you have nothing to complain about it" Replied Lelouch.

Kallen's breath was a little erratic after hearing what Lelouch said. She just didn't know what to say.

"I should have arrested you sooner" Started Suzaku.

"You realized it was me?" Asked Lelouch.

"I had my suspicions, but I refused to believe it. I wanted to believe in you." Said Suzaku with a sad tone.

"In fact, I was starting to believe that you were actually what the world needed"

"What?" Said Lelouch in surprise, not expecting Suzaku to say that he was going to support him, after his initial refusal to join the Black Knights and the countless times he tried to stop him.

Suzaku looked down with a sad expression.

"Back in this island when we got stranded, Big Boss told me and Kallen a small story about his past. How he had a mentor, who defected to the enemy side and was forced to kill her. Only to realize that everything was orchestrated by the very country she swore to protect" Said Suzaku, remembering Big Boss's story.

Lelouch was surprised at this revelation, was Big Boss trying to help and open Suzaku's eyes before?

"I started to have doubts. If I was right to change Britannia from the inside or if I would end up being controlled by Britannia. I thought that maybe, just maybe, we could work together…" Admitted Suzaku.

Lelouch and Kallen were shocked to hear that Suzaku was willing to help them.

"But now…" Suzaku then focused back on Lelouch and pointed his gun at him again.

"That is thrown out the window… You were lying to us. To me, to Eupy… to Nunnally!"

"I made a few mistakes, but right now it's not important, Nunnally has been kidnapped!" Said Lelouch suddenly.

Suzaku was shocked, not just because Nunnally was kidnapped, but Lelouch was regarding it as "not important"

"Suzaku, can't we have a temporary truce? I want your help to save Nunnally! There's nothing you and I can't accomplish!" Pleaded Lelouch.

At this moment, Kallen stood up. Her body trembling in shock, her mouth agape while looking at her hands and her expression looked like she was going to have a mental breakdown.

"Don't be a fool!" Said Suzaku in anger.

"Were you even listening to me? If you hadn't killed Cornelia, none of this would have happened!"

Lelouch gritted his teeth. Suzaku was again being a hypocrite about killing and it is clear that someone gave him info about Geass and placed the blame on him about using it on Cornelia. However, he was still feeling guilty, since he did kill her out of rage.

"That's all in the past, it's done!" Retorted Lelouch.

"Past?!"

"You killed your own father, didn't you?! Euphi told me about it. You can find time for regrets later!" Said Lelouch.

Suzaku was shocked beyond belief on Lelouch discarding all the problems he made and knowing the truth from Euphi. But yet, Kallen and Big Boss knew about it and she might have told Lelouch about it.

"No…YOU ARE HOPELESS!" Suzaku's hand with the gun trembled in rage as he used his other hand to steady it.

"In the very end, you would betray the entire world, just as it has betrayed you! I won't let your dream become true!" Continued Suzaku

"You fool! You think ideals alone can change the world?! Then go ahead!" Shouted Lelouch as he revealed on his chest a small mine filled with sakuradite.

Kallen woke up from her shock with a gasp as she saw the bomb on Lelouch's chest.

"Shoot me, I dare YOU to shoot me!" Said Lelouch, which scared Kallen as she took a step back.

"Damn you!" Shouted Suzaku.

"I'll make a deal with you! Who told you about Geass? Did they take Nunnally?!" sQuestioned Lelouch.

"Nothing that happens now is any of your business!" Shouted Suzaku.

Lelouch mouth was agape at what Suzaku said.

"Your very existence is a mistake! I will bring justice to this world by having you locked into the deepest hell from which you came from! I will take care of Nunnally from now on!"

Lelouch's face turned into a hurt expression after Suzaku's words and then drew out his gun.

"SUZAKUU!" Snarled Lelouch

"LELOUUUCH!" Suzaku shouted back

*BAM!*

*BAM!*

They both pulled the trigger at the same time.

Suzaku dodged the bullet by moving his head to the left, but destroying his comm on his left ear in the process. With Lelouch, his gun was destroyed by Suzaku's bullet as he barely managed to dodge the bullet.

Lelouch staggered as he stepped back. This gave Suzaku the opportunity he needed to disable him. He quickly dashed forward and performed his roundhouse kick at Lelouch and pinning him down.

"Zero!" Kallen quickly tried to rush to Lelouch side when Suzaku attacked him.

"It is Lelouch!" Barked Suzaku as he pointed his handgun at Kallen from behind.

Kallen stopped just when she got up from the stairs.

"He is the man who has used the Japanese people! Who has used you! You want to defend a man like that? You?!" Suzaku spoke as he back handed the mine on Lelouch's chest while struggling with him.

Kallen stepped back with tears in her eyes. With all the revelations she got, it was too overwhelming for her. So, she did the only thing she could do, run away.

Lelouch was kicked again as he was thrown to the wall. Lelouch looked at Suzaku again, who was standing Infront of him with gun on hand.

"Lelouch, this is the end of your rebellion" Said Suzaku coldly.

Lelouch was looking with sadness and hurt at his best friend.

"Suzaku, don't do this. Please, listen to m-"

Lelouch implored, but then lost consciousness as Suzaku knocked him out with his gun.

…

Meanwhile, with Kallen, outside of the temple.

…

Kallen kept running, away from what she saw and refusing to believe it. Everything was falling apart. The rebellion, the Japanese freedom, the Black Knights, her friends, her beliefs, she lost them all and she wasn't even sure if her friends were alive or dead.

She reached to her Guren and got inside to flee the island. She set it in autopilot and her destination was… nowhere in particular, the Black Rebellion failed and there was nowhere to go. All she could do now was cry in anguish.

Kallen leaned her head to her knees and bawled her eyes out.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Screamed Kallen as she continuously cried out. She didn't know what to do now, she felt betrayed and lost. She always tried to maintain her composure when fighting against Britannia, but now, for the first time since she lost her brother, she broke out in tears.

"I…I don't know what to do… I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!" Screamed Kallen while sobbing.

"Naoto… Mom" Mentioned Kallen. She hugged her knees tightly as she continued to cry.

"Please…someone…help…" Begged Kallen. She felt hopeless, like a lost child desperately searching someone to cling to.

She kept crying for several seconds, until she slowly stopped. She softly moved her head away from her knees and, although she still had tears in her eyes, her expression was of realization. She then stared at the Guren screen and saw that she was a little bit far away from Kamine island and Japan, to the east.

"Wait…There is…. There is one… who can…!" Said Kallen, remembering that there is still someone who can help, even though the situation got out of hand at the beginning of the Black Rebellion, maybe she can try and explain it to him.

She quickly deactivated the autopilot and went straight to the one place where she can get refuge and help.

…

17 Minutes later, 12:00 am, Pacific Ocean, a few miles away from MSF

…

…

Starts the ost "The Fall of Mother Base", MGS V Ground Zeroes

…

Kallen wiped the tears on her eyes as she focused on the map that leads to Mother Base. She wanted to get there faster, she thought that maybe they were able to repel the invaders and they can help her rescue her friends. They were able to win against Britannia's invasion, so they surely must have won.

Kallen pressed on the screen the comm to contact Mother Base, but nothing happened.

"Huh?" She pressed it again, but nothing appeared. It was really strange, and now that she mentions it, when she managed to think clearly, she noticed that everything around her was covered in smoke.

Kallen looked around, feeling that something is not right.

And then she saw it. As soon as she was approaching to Mother Base, there was a glowering orange light on the sea.

"What?" Said Kallen in shock. What she saw on the sea was a jet fighter, in flames.

Kallen quickly looked through the screen and started to look around.

"No…!" Said Kallen in horror when the images of the screen and the smokes became clear. Struts were falling apart due to explosions on its legs. The bridges that connect to the struts were destroyed and there were flames everywhere.

Kallen breathed heavily, she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"Don't tell me…They are losing?!" Thought Kallen.

She then got her answer when she saw on the command center's platform Britannian Knightmares. They were opening fire on something or someone. She then got a good view and saw those weren't just any ordinary Britannian soldiers, they were Euro-Britannia, and they were attacking an MSF chopper stationed on the platform, with several Knightmares and soldiers defending it.

And that is when she saw them.

Big Boss Knightmare was shooting them with the help of the remaining MSF soldiers, and Miller was amongst them repelling the Britannians.

"Big Boss… Miller-san!" Cried Kallen seeing that they were in trouble.

Her Guren then aimed her Guren's mounted machine gun and fired at the Euro Britannians.

*TRATATATA!*

*TRATATATATATATA!*

"What the hell?" Ashley looked up to see who it was shooting.

"That's the Guren…" Shin said a bit surprised.

"What the hell is a Black Knight doing here?" Leonhardt muttered.

"Shoot the Guren down!" Marrybell commanded, not wishing to have more interruptions.

With Big Boss and Miller, they also saw the Guren.

"Kallen? What is she doing here?!" Muttered Miller in shock as the Guren continued firing at the Euro-Britannians.

Big Boss checked his IDROID, Only 3 minutes left…

"Kaz, get on board!" Then Big Boss charged towards the enemy to help Kallen.

"Boss!" Miller shouted in worry.

The Guren continued firing, but Shin aimed his Gloucester's rifle and fired at the Guren's flying unit.

"Shit!" Kallen cursed as the Guren started to fall down.

The Guren then detached the flying unit and managed to land on the ground.

She then proceeded to dash forward and slash at the enemy, the first one was Ashley.

"You won't pass!" Roared Ashley as his sword clashed against the Guren's knife.

Kallen tried to thrust her knife, but Ashley jumped back.

"Fire!" Marrybell commanded as Shin, red Gloucesters and Sutherlands fired at the Guren.

"Oh no!" Kallens eyes widened in horror.

Suddenly, Big Boss's Knightmare managed to push the Guren, but he got shot instead by the enemy fire.

"BIG BOSS!" Kallen cried as she saw one of her idols being shot because of her.

*BOOM!*

But then missiles started to hit the Guren from every direction, causing her to fall down.

"AAAHHHH!" Kallen screamed inside her cockpit, then the cockpit turned red.

She got disoriented due to the impacts and all she could hear was echo.

Then she heard something opening her cockpit. She tried to take out her handgun, but she was still disoriented.

The it opened and she was surprised and amazed. It was Big Boss himself.

"Kallen!" Big Boss shouted as he extended his right hand to her.

Kallen used all her strength on her right hand and managed to take his hand.

Big Boss then pulled her out and had her lean on his left shoulder. Kallen's vision cleared a bit and saw what was happening.

The Euro Britannians were being hold back by MSF soldiers, giving Big Boss time to save Kallen.

They approached to the Krokodil, with Miller and Veg firing their assault rifle at the Britannians.

"Move!" Big Boss shouted to the MSF soldiers, who are in reality, Alpha and Bravo team.

They started to retreat back to the chopper, but the Euro Britannians wouldn't allow them to leave.

"Don't let them escape!" Shouted Marrybell, determined to not let Big Boss leave this place alive.

*TRATATATATATAA!*

"AAAHHH!" Some of the members of Alpha team were hit and fell on the ground.

"No!" Bravo team saw their comrades fall, so they retaliated at the Euro Britannians.

Big Boss managed to get Kallen closer to the chopper.

"Kallen!" Miller extended his hand, with her quickly grabbing his hand and then pulled her inside.

"Come on!" Big Boss shouted and turned his sight to his soldiers.

But what he saw, made him snap.

The last 4 members of Alpha and Bravo were gunned down by Shin's Knightmare.

"AAAAHHHH!" Big Boss roared with fury and then went to charge at them in revenge.

"BOSS!" Shouted Miller in worry.

Big Boss continued firing, but then he ran out of ammo. He tossed his rifle and went to grab Miller's hand.

Once he grabbed his hand, Miller pulled him in.

"GO!" Miller shouted to Morpho.

Instantly, the chopper left the helipad, with the Britannians trying to shoot it down.

Marrybell looked vividly at Big Boss escaping.

"BIG BOSS!" Marrybell yelled with all her strength.

The Krokodil flew away and then closed its doors.

…

End of OST

…

Miller sat on the floor of the chopper while breathing heavily.

"Kaz, what happened?" Asked Big Boss. Kallen, who was sitting on one of the choppers sit, raised her head to see them, also wanting to know what happened in Mother Base.

Miller looked at the ground as he spoke.

"We got intruders in our ranks… They sabotaged everything, our communications, our defenses, and our weapons! Even though we managed to subdue them, it was nothing but a smoke screen. I saw a giant army of Britannians in our doorsteps, then I heard explosions and…!" Miller stood up and then dropped his arms angrily.

"HUH! THEY PLAYED US LIKE A DAMN FIDDLE!" Shouted Miller with anger, then he put his arms on Big Boss shoulder.

"Give it back!" Said Miller in a distressful tone.

"This isn't right, that was ours!" Miller then punched the door of the chopper.

"We built it damn it!"

Big Boss, Kallen and 4 MSF surviving soldiers looked in shock at Miller's outburst.

"Miller-san" Said Kallen in sadness.

Miller then slowly moved his gaze to his left side and focused on someone, someone who is indirectly responsible for the Mother Base destruction.

"You son of a bitch!" Miller shouted as he lunged at Veg and grabbed him by his clothes collar bone.

"W-Wait Miller!" Said Veg in surprise.

"This is YOUR fault!" Miller lashed out.

"Please, let's calm down for a-"Veg was interrupted as Miller pressed more his grip, chocking him.

"Shut the hell up! Look what you and your bosses have done to our base!" Shouted Miller.

"Kaz, Kaz! That's enough!" Big Boss pulled Miller away as he tried to ease the tension.

"But Boss!" Shouted Miller.

"I know how you feel, Kaz, but lashing out at him won't solve anything!" Said Big Boss with a frown. He then turned to Veg, who was breathing hard from the choking.

Kallen was looking at the scene with an unsure expression. She has no idea on what is happening here.

"Now Veg, talk! You promised you would tell us everything!" Demanded Big Boss.

"Yes, I know" Veg said as he stood up.

Meanwhile, on the west hangar, where Zeke laid, the Britannian soldiers were struggling to dismantle it.

"Come on, hurry up! What's taking you guys so long!" Shouted one of the Britannian soldiers.

"We are trying! But it looks like it's stuck!" Replied a Britannian soldier who was trying to detach Zeke's back, where the nuclear warhead is stored.

"Hey, what is this?" Asked another Britannian soldier as he pointed at something on Zeke's back.

Some of the Britannian soldiers walked closer to inspect.

It was like a large thick cable that was holding the compartment back of Zeke.

"Oh, it's just a large cable. It seems this is what is not allowing us to detach it. Let's take it off" Suggested one of the soldiers.

One of them reached the cable and forcibly pulled it off.

"Almost there!" Groaned the Britannian soldier.

*Thud!*

"There we go!" Exclaimed the Britannian soldier with a victorious tone, he took a peek inside and saw something strange…

It was a timer of some sort and it was only 5 seconds before hitting 0

"Huh?" The Britannian soldier looked down and before anyone knew what was going to happen, a loud bang happened…

*BOOOOOM!*

"W-What is that?!" Shouted Toto in the Granberry. The rest of the staff looked to the screen to see something very terrifying… It was shining light, so bright that it was very blinding to see. Then 2 seconds later, a powerful surge of force pushed everything, accompanied with a horrifying wave of flames.

The Longress Floating Battleships of St Michael, Gabriel and Uriel were hit by the force of the explosion.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Gaudefroy screamed as the Longress crashed against the Mission Support struts.

Michele was holding on his throne while the pilots tried to stabilize the Longress, but it wasn't enough and the ship crashed into the waters of the ocean.

wasn't lucky either, as the ship went into collision against the struts.

The Granberry was completely pushed backward and caused it to lose complete balance.

"AAAAAAAHHHHH!" Everyone in the Granberry screamed in terror as the Granberry was in direct collision to the sea.

*BAM!*

The Granberry collided against the sea, which caused the windows of the airship to break and flood the whole room.

The Euro-Britannian soldiers were having the worst treatment since they were in direct contact with the waves.

The Knightmares, vehicles, foot soldiers and any close aircrafts were disintegrated.

The rest of the Britannian forces who were not close to the blasting range, started to run away in panic.

"RUUUUNNN!" Shouted one of them as they started to run for their lives.

But it was useless as many were hit by the waves.

"AAAHHHH!"

"OH my god, OH MY GOD!"

"Help!"

"HEEEEEEEELP!"

Britannian soldiers screamed, witnessing horrifying things happening to them.

As for the other Britannian forces who are close to the bridges or edges of the struts, they decided to jump down to the sea, not caring if they were going to die or survive, but it would be better than get hit by that infernal explosion.

Ashley and Shin decided to jump into the ocean to save themselves from the explosion.

The Asura Force lost more than half of their members as the nuclear explosion incinerated Franz, Kuzan, Simon, Jan and Rene. we

Johanne and Alan were the only ones who managed to survive.

Marrybell in her Knightmare was blown to the ocean due to the wave of the nuclear warhead.

Leonhardt used himself as a shield to protect her fiancé.

Tink and Sokkia perished with the explosion.

Bismarck tried to shield himself, but it failed as he got blown into the ocean as well. He survived, but he got badly injured due to the heat of the nuclear warhead.

Dorothea, Jean and very few Britannians who are on aircrafts and away from the explosion looked in horror.

Kane and Oldrin stopped their fighting when they saw the gigantic explosion.

"What in the name of god?" Muttered Oldrin in horror at the image.

Suddenly, the wave of the nuclear warhead was approaching them.

Kane, instead on running away, lunged at Oldrin and acted as human shield.

"What?" Oldrin muttered in disbelief.

Then the wave hit them, causing them to fall into the ocean.

"Boss, hold on!" Morpho shouted as the force of the nuclear warhead unbalanced the choppers flight.

"Ugh!"

Everyone inside the chopper fell to the ground as they tried to hold onto anything.

"AAAHHHH!" Kallen screamed while trying to hold. Her heart was beating fast as she closed her eyes, fearing for her safety.

Big Boss tried to get up, but all he could see was the door of his chopper.

The last thing he saw… was the door bursting open, with cockpit of a VTOL going straight to him…

Epilogue

…

The Black Rebellion fails with many core members of the Black Knights captured by the Britannian military. The Kyoto House, with the exception of Kaguya, were also arrested and taken to prison to be scheduled for execution.

…

Huey and Strangelove were also amongst the captured. Their cover compromised after the Black Knights took control of the Ashford Academy. They were both transported in 2 separate vehicles. Strangelove was taken to a Britannian facility, while Huey's whereabouts remains unknown.

…

Diethard, Rakshata, and the Japanese maid Sayoko, disappeared before the Britannian army could capture them.

A day later, Zero is pronounced dead by the Britannian media…

…

The same day, Militaire Sans Frontieres is announced to have been destroyed, proclaimed by the Knight of One and Marrybell Mel Britannia.

The survivors of the nuclear explosion miraculously survived, but they refused to speak about it. The images of the nuclear explosion still haunting them.

People from Japan, the Chinese Federations, Australia and Britannia claimed that there was a flashing blast from MSF's location. The next thing they saw was a dark cloud with the shape of a mushroom.

The nuclear warhead explosion permanently crippled Euro-Britannia, with 80 percent of their forces perished by it. Leaving only The Holy Order of Raphael as the only force of Euro-Britannia.

Witnesses also sighted many unknown aircrafts flying to the coasts of the Chinese Federation, Australia, Japan, EU and even the Areas of Britannia.

Big Boss is assumed dead by the Britannian media.

Kazuhira Miller, Ocelot, Kallen Kouzuki and the mercenary leaders whereabouts remains unknown…

…

Elsewhere, in the Caribbean. The IAEA attempted to contact Militaire Sans Frontieres for a nuclear inspection, after taking notice that MSF purchased nuclear fuel from Uzbekistan authorities, but they received no response from them.

After some talk in the UN, it was allowed a small reconnaissance around MSF's location… Only to discover nothing in there.

A day later, it became one of the most trending mysteries in the media and it was included in the list of mysterious disappearances in the world.

Cipher was unable to discover about this bizarre incident and what happened to Big Boss…

…

…

…

TO BE CONTINUED…

Here is the end of my 7-year-old story. It may not be 100% perfect, but at least I managed to show what I envisioned these past years.

I hope you all like it! This last chapter really took a lot of my strength and days to finish it, I had to use and burn my brain in order to finish this in time before new years.

I also need to say that the reason why I rushed all things is because, as I stated in my previous note, my life is getting harder. I'm starting to have responsibilities as an adult and I need to dedicate my time on work and improving myself.

I always loved doing animations, so I began 2 years ago studying animations and I still have a lot to learn. And who knows, I might just one day end up animating this fanfic XD

I already have a Youtube channel where I am uploading animations, mostly SFM animations, but I'm starting to focus my attention on Blender, 3DS MAX and 2D animations for something more complex. So, if anyone is interested or wants to support me, you can check my channel or help me with Ko-fi since I opened an account for animation stuffs and drawings.

I want to thank all the readers and supporters who sticked with this fanfic for so long. It really means a lot to me with all your helps and ideas and I can't thank you enough.

I know that this is a huge cliffhanger, but this is how I always imagined to end, with the ending of Code Geass R1 and Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes combined.

This is not the end yet, since I haven't put the status of my story as complete.

There is one thing left I want to show you…

A TRAILER FOR THE NEXT PART!

I had it ready since September, but seems to have an issue with the updates. It tends to not show a new update or chapter after uploading a new one. Most likely I'd have to wait a whole day in order for it to function properly.

So, expect the trailer tomorrow!

Merry Christmas!
