The Demon's Pride V2
Another one. I am glad I have so many views already. I hope to have so many more as the chapters are released. On with the show.
Chapter 3: The Battle of Shinjuku
"I am the one who will destroy Britannia!" Lelouch's words echoed across the clearing as dead silence overtook the resistance fighters.
Ohgi, along with most of the other fighters, stared at him in shock, while Nagata looked unphased, having heard this before. Kallen was seething in anger, but knew that she had to keep it in check.
Tamaki on the other hand-"DIE BASTARD!"
Forgetting the situation they were in and the odds they were facing, Tamaki charged at Lelouch, his fist up, ready to clobber him.
Lelouch sighed before gracefully dodging Tamaki's wild blow, before grabbing the arm and pulling Tamaki forward. At the same time, Lelouch stuck his hip out, causing Tamaki to collide with it, thus causing him to flip over.
Groaning on the ground, Tamaki failed to notice that Lelouch had walked away to get into his Sutherland.
"When he recovers, please tell him not to try that again. It really is a hassle having to deal with those who think their shit doesn't stink." Smiling as he heard a few chuckles, Lelouch entered his Knightmare and punched in the code. "Everyone move to their positions and be ready to execute on my mark. Sync!"
"Sync!" He heard them say. Just as Lelouch was about to move he heard a new voice.
"Well now boy, don't you think it's rude to leave a lady behind?"
Lelouch turned towards the speaker and cocked an eyebrow. It was the girl from the capsule. Lelouch had noticed that the bullet wound from earlier had regenerated, but he had no idea that she would recover this fast. "By all means M'lady, please join me."
The young woman moved towards him and joined Lelouch in the cockpit of the Sutherland...by sitting on his lap. "That's more comfortable." The girl said while Lelouch just rolled his eyes. Coming from someone who has known and dated the living embodiment of sexual harassment, this was nothing. "Before we begin, might I have the pleasure of knowing your name Ms.-"
The girl turned towards him, pure apathy in her eyes. "You may call me C.C."
Lelouch nodded. Bringing up the comms for the resistance fighters, Lelouch spoke. "Is everyone ready?"
"We await your command...Zero."

(Command G-1)
Prince Clovis la Britannia, Viceroy of Area 11, looked on annoyed and afraid as General Bartley informed him that they could no longer contact anyone from the Royal Guard. 'Those fools were supposed to search for the girl! If they are out fooling around with the Elevens, they will be sorry.'
"Furthermore, we have neither heard or seen anything in regards to where the terrorists might be. It's as if they just vanished."
"Unfortunately, General, we know that did not happen. I want them found and I want the capsule found. Is that clear?"
Bartley began to sweat as the Prince glared at him. "Yes, Your Majesty."
The two were interrupted when a communications officer reported that two Knights, Sir Lazlo and Sir Glaube, had reported the red Glasgow operated by the terrorist had been spotted. "Sirs Lazlo and Glaube are in pursuit." The man said.
Clovis smiled and nodded. Now all he needed to do was wait.

(Shinjuku)
"Q-1, please lead the Knights to the designated point. P-Squad be ready to fire on my mark. Sync!"
Lelouch heard "Sync" back from the various rebels, though he could tell two were rather reluctant and angry. 'Kallen and Tamaki.' Lelouch mused. 'I still need to prove myself to them so this isn't unexpected, yet I'll need to do it sooner rather than later. Can't have them disobeying orders or flying off the handle later.' C.C. adjusted herself in Lelouch's lap, partly because she was uncomfortable and partly because she wanted a reaction. To her dismay, nothing happened.
"If you're trying to get a reaction I'd stop." Lelouch told her. "I have been dating the walking embodiment of teasing for years. I'm pretty much immune to these kinds of activities."
C.C. pouted. "You're no fun."
"Did you expect an emo little shit, half-crazed with revenge, and as arrogant as the Devil?" Her silence was a good enough answer. "I might have been had it not been for a few close people. They prevented me from turning out to be a total asshole. That being said, I do hold a grudge against...certain people."
"I can tell. Your father is one of them, yes?"
Lelouch nodded. "He is actually number 3 on my list of people I can't stand or can't trust." This intrigued C.C., who had expected the boy to hate his father above all others. "Now then, if you'll excuse me for a moment, I need to direct the resistance." Activating the radio and patching in to the resistance fighter's comms. "P-Squad ready?"
"Yes."
"Very well then. Aim at the wall in front of you." Lelouch could hear confusion from the other end, but could tell they were doing as he said. Staring at the monitor and seeing the Britannian Knightmares approaching the area, Lelouch licked his lips in anticipation. "Ready...Mark!"
At his command, P-Group fired into the wall, the bullets flying through and slamming into the enemy Knightmares beyond the wall. Hearing the shocked cries of disbelief as well as the cries of success caused Lelouch to smirk. 'An IFF Beacon is a double-edged sword is it not, dear brother.'
"Your orders Zero."
"Each group is to move on to their designated areas. I'll keep you updated on enemy squad positions and changes in the overall plan. Zero out!"

(Command G-1)
Prince Clovis was now beginning to suspect that the job of commanding troops was harder than he first thought. When Sir Lazlo and Sir Glaube were lost he simply thought that the terrorist monkeys had simply ambushed them. Now though...
"Sir Mark down."
"Four tanks destroyed!"
"Sirs Darrius and Marduk have been defeated!"
Clovis began to sweat as the news continued to be hammered in. 'What the hell is Bartley doing? These are scum he is fighting, how is he failing?' Clovis was snapped out of his reverie by a screen popping up in front of him.
"WHY HELLLLOOOOO!" A voice came from the screen, followed shortly by a face. "I couldn't help but notice our amazing Pureblood unit is failing in retrieving the gas. Would you like to employ Camelot?"
"Lloyd you insolent little-" Bartley growled out.
"I have no time for your antics Lloyd! Bartley!" Clovis yelled at his general. "From now on I'm taking command! Send all available forces into the ghetto! We will flush out these fools."
"But Your Majesty, that will break the encirclement!"
"It does not matter! Just do it!"

(Shinjuku)
'How am I related to this moron?' Lelouch asked himself while shaking his head.
C.C. saw this and looked at the screen before laughing. "I did not think that little shit was actually that stupid! Oh, this is grand!"
Lelouch raised an eyebrow. "So, you know Clovis personally then?"
C.C.'s face returned to its regular stoicism. "I do. That brat was the one to approve of the various experiments that were conducted on me. Tell me Lelouch, have you ever been kept alive as your liver was removed? Or have you ever literally died from pain? Those were just some of the "hospitalities" that Clovis treated me to."
Lelouch narrowed his eyes at this. 'Damn you Clovis.' Tapping C.C. on the shoulder and getting her attention, Lelouch asked her a question. "Then would you like to show Clovis some of your own generous hospitality my dear?"
C.C. stared at him for a moment before laughing. "I would indeed." She replied.
Lelouch smiled before turning back to the screen and opening a line to the resistance fighters. "Everyone, get into place for Operation: Hammer Drop!"
(Scene Change)
(Somewhere Else in Shinjuku)
Kallen's eyes widened as she heard that last message. 'Wow. He said we would only use this if a real idiot was in charge of the enemy.' Moving along the designated path, Kallen lead the Britannian Sutherland on a merry chase through the ghetto, buying time for the remaining members of her group to get into position. "Come on you bastards, keep an eye on the birdie!" She yelled. Turning left, Kallen led the Sutherlands to an abandoned construction site in the middle of the ghetto. "Zero, they're coming in on my tail!"
"Good job Q-1! P-5, wait until all of them are in the area!"
"Yeah yeah!" Tamaki yelled back over the radio.
The Sutherlands quickly filled the construction yard, knocking over the equipment to make room. As soon as the last one filed in; Tamaki used his Sutherland to shoot a flare into the sky. Seeing the flare, the Britannian Sutherlands all looked up...To see that they were too busy chasing the red Glasglow to notice that the site was boxed in by two tall buildings. Which were currently filled with Sutherlands all pointing their weapons at them.
"NOW!" Lelouch yelled.
As one, the resistance fighters began to fire down on the enemy Sutherlands. The rain of bullets tore through them, causing many pilots to eject. Yet, the arc of the ejecting cockpits caused them to travel through the storm of hot lead.

(Command G-1)
Clovis stared in horror as The Purebloods were cut down to size. 'Who is leading these mongrels? Is it Tohdoh?' Clovis paled at that, before nearly fainting at the next thought. 'Or is it someone better?' Quickly turning towards the floating screen to his left, Clovis began to scream. "Lloyd! Can it do it? Can your machine win?"
Lloyd Asplund appeared back on the screen with a mischievous grin on his face.
"My lord please..."Call it the Lancelot."
I'm cranking these out as fast as I can, I haven't really changed much yet, and I may not. Only time will tell. I am rereading these as I release them, so changes won't likely happen until I get further in.
Till next time INUYAHA signing out.
