Here's chapter Ten. Anyway, I don't own Code Geass or any of the characters just the OC.
10. The Battle Of Narita
It was night time in Ashford Academy and C.C was at the swimming pool in a school swimsuit, on top of the high dive and dives down into the pool, while Lelouch is sitting on a chair at the side of the pool looking at his laptop. Lelouch is looking at a list of people wanting to join the Black Knights, as he scrolls down he sees an image of Diethard Reid.
"Hm, a Britannian?" Lelouch said surprised. "Looks too confident to be a spy. An extremist?"
"Isn't it wonderful? How the number of recruits keeps growing." C.C said while floating in the pool.
"And it was simpler than I ever expected," Lelouch said. "While we bitterly hate the Britannians, we refused to condone terrorism. That's the prevailing view of most Elevens."
"Then basically elevens support the Black Knights for the most part. Is that also why you were destroying certain resistance groups?" C.C asked.
"We only target groups that involve innocent people, That makes others believe in our cause," Lelouch explained. "Which in turn makes it easier for us to operate as a whole. It's a huge help that people don't report our activities to the Britannians. And before long the remaining resistance groups will have more desire to join us as well. Plus, I just as we planned the Kyoto group offered to send us some Knightmares including the Guren MK II. The number of informants has been increasing quickly too. The Japanese can't resist jumping on the bandwagon. They hear well-grounded buzzword enough they go."
"Hence the Knights for Justice act."
"Yeah, well everybody loves a hero, and what better hero than a knight."
C.C Laughed and got out of the pool.
"I kind of doubt that's what a real knight for justice would say," C.C said.
"You don't think so?" Lelouch asked.
(A Small Makeshift Office)
"Yes, I was demoted from my position," Diethard said. "In very much the same way that you were."
Jeremiah glared at Diethard.
"We have no intention of letting the situation end this way," Villetta replied. "And we have the sneaking suspicion that you don't either."
"That's so? Well, who can say?" Diethard responded shifting his eyes.
"We have a lead that might help us find Zero and Soul!" Jeremiah declared.
Diethard was surprised and intrigued by their claim.
"You're familiar with Ashford Private Academy?" Villetta asked. "I want to investigate a male student attending there. I think he may be working with Zero and Soul."
Diethard looked at his computer and started typing Ashford Academy.
"Villetta and I are going to be shipping out with the military soon for duty," Jeremiah said. "And will be stationed in the Narita mountains. Therefore…"
"Narita?" Diethard spoke, "Isn't that where the Japan Liberation Front headquarters are rumored to be located?"
"You may be a bit too clever for your own good," Jeremiah commented with a glare.
"You overestimate me," Diethard said with a smile.
(A Warehouse Somewhere)
The new recruits for the Black Knights were surprised as the lights come on and they saw new designed Knightmare Frames.
"Wow, it's amazing!" One of the Black Knights said excitedly.
"These are Glassgows, aren't they?" Another Black Knight asked.
"Burais, a Japanese modification."
"I've never seen these before."
"Man, the Black Knights have gotta some serious muscle."
"It wasn't easy to sign up with the BK."
"So that makes us special. huh? We're elites."
In a different part of the room, the core members of the Black Knights being the former members of Ohgi's group were looking at a different Knightmare.
"Those guys from Kyoto, They believed in us. They sent us this." Sugiyama said.
"A completely made Japanese Knightmare," Yoshida said.
"A Guren MK II," Kallen said in awe.
"Did you check up the manual?" Minami said.
"I'm really loving this," Tamaki said with a grin. "The big shots in Kyoto are recognizing us. We've got their approval."
"Tamaki-san! Would you show me how to use this equipment here?" A female voice called.
"Oh sure. hang on, I'll be right there." Tamaki responded and went to that side of the room.
The others looked amused and went over as well.
"Newbies, what are you gonna do?" Inoue said.
"First Tamaki and now Inoue and the rest are treating this like a party," Zero said appearing from the shadows. "Kyoto is backing multiple resistance groups, correct?"
"Yes. Which means that we finally made it in. They know that we're worthy." Kallen said with a smile.
"No, you're wrong there Kallen," Soul said also appearing from the shadows with R.R by his side.
He's right Kallen," Zero added. "This is merely a test they put to us."
"So, what if it is?" Kallen responded. "This is still incredible."
"You're an optimist," Zero said before tossing her a red key.
Kallen caught the key and asked. "What's this?"
"The Guren Mk II is yours now, Kallen." Zero said.
"Mine? But we have a lot more people now, and we can't afford to lose either of you. One of you two should have it," Kallen insisted. "We need the Guren's defence to protect you."
"You're a top-notch pilot. I'm a commander." Zero argued. "I'll use a Burai. But besides Soul you're our only ace to play during a battle."
"Besides I have my Agravaine, with you in the Guren we'll be all the stronger," Soul said. "Not to mention you have a reason to fight."
Kallen was surprised but accepted. "Right."
"Zero, Soul. you got a second?" Ohgi suddenly called out, Ohgi approached them holding a folder. "We got some weird intel here from a Britannian who wants to join up with the Black Knights."
Zero read the folder from intel sent to them from Diethard about Narita.
"This may be a trap to draw us out," Ohgi said. "I'd say even if we wanna confirm the information it's too risky to contact him directly. But news like this isn't something we can just ignore. What should we do?"
Zero closed the folder and answered.
"This weekend, we're going hiking," Zero said.
"What?" Ohgi said confused.
"To the Narita mounts." Zero clarified.
"Very well, then."
"Soul, R.R, come with me, we need to head back and discuss somethings about our next move," Zero said.
"Very well," Soul said.
"Understood," R.R said.
(Nightfall, Ashford Academy)
Lelouch, Logan and Rolo were at Lelouch's residence in Lelouch's room talking about their plan for Narita.
"Narita will be our next battle against Cornelia," Lelouch said. "And I once again were going to win,"
"And this time instead of it just being the three of us we'll have the Black Knights, a military group that can fight against Cornelia's forces," Logan said.
"Yes that's another advantage."
"But even so," Rolo said. "Cornelia may have lost her Royal Guard, but with military reinforcements from the homeland, she'll outnumber us too much for us to win."
"Rolo, you forget we have the Guren," Lelouch said confidently. "I already have a plan that will wipe out almost all of Cornelia's force in one fell swoop, it won't matter how many forces she brings it still won't be enough."
"Our biggest advantage is Cornelia doesn't know we'll be there so she won't be prepared for us," Logan said. "In her mind, she's just going there to destroy the JLF."
"That reminds me, what are we going to do about the JLF? Are we going to help them?" Rolo asked.
"Unfortunately no," Lelouch said. "The JLF bears a small resentment towards us for killing Kusakabe, and they also weren't happy that Kyoto sent us the Guren instead of them, even if we offered to help they wouldn't expect it,"
"But in the end, it doesn't matter," Logan added. "The JLF at this point isn't a concern, Kyoshiro Todoh and the Four Holy Swords are the only ones worth keeping around, everyone else isn't a factor,"
"That's why we need to make sure they survive this battle," Lelouch said looking at Logan. "When the fighting starts and Todoh appears on the battlefield I need you and the Agravaine to assist them."
"But I thought you said they wouldn't accept our help," Rolo said.
"Hmph, well that's the best part," Lelouch said. "On the battlefield even if they don't want it, they don't have a choice since the alternative is losing and being killed,"
"I get it, and since we have the Guren, he can do that while Kallen traps Cornelia," Rolo said understanding the plan.
"Lelouch, there's still one variable we need to take into account," Logan said getting both their attention.
"I know," Lelouch said. "You're talking about the Lancelot,"
"Even if we have no way of knowing if it will be there, it showed up at both Shinjuku and Lake Kawaguchi, chances are it could be at Narita too."
"You have a point," Lelouch said thinking about it. "Best-case scenario is that it doesn't show up but... Worst case scenario is it does appear and safeguards Cornelia, stopping us for capturing her."
"So what should we do in case of worst-case scenario?" Rolo asked.
"We got our hands on the Guren for this problem in the first place," Lelouch said. "If the Lancelot does appear then we'll have Kallen face it, she's already an ace pilot and with a seventh-generation Knightmare of her own she might have what it takes to beat it."
"What if she doesn't?" Logan asked.
"Then I'll signal you," Lelouch said to Logan. "When you hear the signal stop whatever you're doing at getting to our location, then face the Lancelot yourself, even that Knightmare can't face two seventh-generation Knightmares one after the other."
"But then what about Cornelia?"
"Unfortunately, if that does end up happening, we'll have to retreat and without capturing her, but hopefully it won't come to that,"
"Hold on, you still haven't said what I should do," Rolo pointed out. "Should I help you against Cornelia, or assist Todoh along with big brother?"
"As a matter of fact, you won't be doing either," Lelouch said surprising Rolo.
"This time you won't be on the frontlines, we need you to do something else that's more important," Logan said.
"Something else?" Rolo asked.
Lelouch hands him a flash drive. "We need you to sneak into the G-1 while the fighting breaks out," Lelouch said. "Get into the main computer room near the bridge and enter this flash drive in the slot, it will then steal certain data we need."
"Your Geass is the best for stealth missions and espionage, that's why you the one most suited for this," Logan explained.
Rolo nods. "Alright, I'll be sure to get it done," Rolo said determinedly.
"Don't worry though, you be doing this mission alone," Lelouch said. "Someone else will be joining you."
As Lelouch says that the door opens and Sayoko enters the room.
"Sayoko?" Rolo said surprised.
"Correct," Lelouch said with a smile. "Sayoko will be joining you on this mission."
Sayoko smiles a gives a bow. "I look forward to working with you master Rolo," Sayoko said.
"Oh, um, yeah me too," Rolo said getting over his surprise.
"Remember, even though you won't be on the battlefield, it's still a difficult mission," Logan said in a serious tone. "Stay on guard at all times."
Rolo and Sayoko nod agreeing with his words.
Lelouch then stands up.
"Okay then, since that's everything I need to go take care of something," Lelouch said before leaving.
"Take care of what?" Rolo asked.
Lelouch stopped, smiled and answered. "I need to ask Nina a question in probability," Lelouch said.
(A Few Days Later, Narita Mountains)
In a small house within Narita, two members of the Japan Liberation Front were patrolling the area while playing Chinese checkers.
"Sector five, nothing to report." One of them said with his communicator. "Right. The next scheduled report will be in two hours."
"Of course, there's nothing to report." The second one said. "This area's controlled by the Japan Liberation Front. No one can just stroll in…"
As he said that Zero walked in the door.
"Zero!" One of them said as they both aim their guns at him.
"Relax, I only came to talk. I want you to ignore any unusual activity during your watch." Zero said using his Geass.
"Sure, no problem." They both said under the control of Geass.
"Come on, it's your turn."
"What's the rush. We're just on regular duty, you know."
At the base of the mountain, members of the Black Knights looked on and they were picking up Zero's signal from the Factsphere Sensors from their Knightmare Frames.
"I've confirmed the signal from Zero." Minami said, "We're now moving to waypoint 2."
The Black Knights begin moving their Knightmares and vehicles up the mountain.
"Hey, why doesn't Zero just use the radio in his Burai," Tamaki asked.
"And what do you suppose he meant when he said hiking?" Inoue asked.
"Ah… military training, right?" Minami suggested.
"Only with Zero in another location?" Tamaki pointed out.
"Maybe we'll dig a hot spring," Sugiyama said. "Is that why we brought those excavators."
"Then, hell, I'm all for it," Yoshida said.
"Kallen, you heard anything about this?" Tamaki asked.
"I haven't," Kallen said inside the Guren MK II.
"You, Ohgi?" Tamaki asked.
"Nope, not a word," Ohgi replied. "Zero wasn't using the radio to avoid being traced. A Soul went on ahead of time to meet us there, are they serious about this?"
Back in the small cabin Zero was sitting on a chair and reading a book with his mask off.
"The day I've waited for has finally come, Cornelia," Lelouch said, then looking outside to see C.C standing there.
(G-1 Mobile Base)
"We're certain that the Japan Liberation Front headquarters are in this area." Darlton reported then turned on the monitor to show the map and the signatures of their units, "We've already split 4 battalions into seven units and hidden them in the vicinity." Darlton then turns his attention to Cornelia sitting on the throne, "We've only to wait for the viceroy signal then we'll surround them in one fell swoop and wipe them out."
"And are you confident that the enemy won't show up outside the encirclement line?" Euphie asked.
Darlton and the other staff officers turned their attention to Euphie.
"You mean Zero and Soul?" Cornelia said.
"Have no fear about that," Darlton assured. "As the operation begins, we'll be blocking off the surrounding highways and mountain routes also."
"Plus, we have reserve units," Cornelia said. "If they're stupid enough to show up, it'll be the end of them."
(Ashford Academy)
In the Student Council room, Milly was surprised by what Nina asked her.
"What? You wanna meet her? Are you kidding?" Milly asked. "Do you know who you're talking about? She's a princess and you're just a citizen. What do you have in common aside from that hotel jacking."
"Yes, but… as for Princess Euphemia, I never got to thank her," Nina said.
"Hm, there was a time when my family name had the influence to arrange that." Milly pondered while kicking her legs up and down while she sat, "So, tell me, Nina, do you know what the social status is of a principal's granddaughter?"
"Um, not a very high one?" Nina answered.
"Correct, not very," Milly said with a deadpanned expression.
(Narita Mountains)
"C.C, what are you doing here?" Lelouch asked outside the cabin.
"I said that I would protect you, didn't I?" C.C replied.
"Aren't you overdoing it?" Lelouch said annoyed.
"I've been wondering about something Lelouch, Why are you, Lelouch?" C.C asked.
"I don't have time to discuss philosophy with you," Lelouch said.
"You changed your family sir name to Lamperouge, but you kept Lelouch the name that was given to you at birth. How sentimental. You can't let go of the past." C.C said.
"Well, C.C. swings to the other extreme, doesn't it?" Lelouch said back. "It's not a human name."
"Lelouch, do you know why snow is white?" C.C asked confusing Lelouch. "Snow is white because it's forgotten what colour it's supposed to be."
(G-1 Mobile Base)
Outside the G-1 Cornelia and her forces were inside their Knightmare preparing for the battle against the JLF.
"All units are in position." One of the soldiers said.
"Understood," Cornelia responded. "Euphemia will provide logistical support From G-1 as planned. Have her command medical group."
"Yes, Your Highness." The soldier replied.
"Princess Cornelia." Guilford contacted.
"Guilford, let me guess," Cornelia responded. "This is about Euphie, isn't it?"
"Yes. she really should be in a government agency, not here," Guilford said.
"But she's being unusually stubborn about this." Cornelia said, "She told me she wanted to see actual combat for herself."
Meanwhile, Euphie was in the G-1 looking over the map of Narita and all the units in place. She was looking at the map with Cornelia's staff officers, she then noticed a particular unit,
"What's that unit there holding to the rear?" Euphie asked.
"Our reserve force with an Eleven pilot." One of the staff officers said.
"What? You mean that's the Lancelot?" Euphie replied.
"As a rule, Numbers aren't permitted to operate Knightmares but that particular unit is an exception." A different staff officer said.
"The second prince is the patron of that unit. We have no say over their personal selection." Another staff officer said. "But he said he wants them to have as many chances at real combat as possible."
Meanwhile Zero and Soul were at the summit of the mountain and the rest of the Black Knights were using their Knightmare to excavate the ground and place electrodes in the summit of the mountain, Ohgi went over to talk to Zero and Soul.
"Are you really going through with this?" Ohgi asked them.
"Our opponent is Cornelia, whose forces are among the best Britannia has to offer," Zero said.
"This battle will be harder than anything that came before," Soul said.
"Then why don't we cooperate with the Japan Liberation Front?" Ohgi asked,
"What was that? Ohgi, don't us believe in me anymore?" Zero asked,
"What do you mean?" Ohgi asked surprised. "I was the one who asked you to be our leaders, don't you remember?"
"Then there's only one answer to give," Zero answered.
"Right," Ohgi said agreeing.
"Besides, even if we try to cooperate with the JLF they won't want our help," Soul reminded him. "You can help someone who doesn't want help."
"Yeah, I guess that's true," Ohgi said.
Meanwhile, Cornelia in her Gloucester was ready to begin.
"Viceroy," Darlton said over the intercom. "It's time."
"Right," Cornelia said. "Commence operation."
Cornelia pressed a button activating her Knightmare and left the G-1 smiling as she was ready to destroy the Japan Liberation Front.
"You, the Japan Liberation Front," Cornelia said. "You, who time has left behind. You, who have forgotten basic human decency. You and your dream of a bygone golden age shall fall and rot to nothingness."
The rest of Cornelia's forces were making their move within the Narita Mountains heading in with the intent to wipe out the Japan Liberation Front. In the sky, VLOTs were releasing Knightmare that also headed down the Mountain, and other Knightmares come out of trains and also charged towards the Mountain.
(Base Of The Japan Liberation Front)
Meanwhile, within the base of the Japan Liberation Front, enemy signatures were being seen on their screen and General Katase frowned at the enemies appearance.
"We're under enemy attack?" Katase said.
"Yes, sir." One of the soldiers said with a salute. "The Britannian forces have completely encircled the Narita mountains. We've counted over a hundred units."
Back at the summit of the mountain, the Black Knights saw Cornelia's forces encircle the mountain.
"It's begun," Zero said.
"Just like we planned," Soul said.
Tamaki, however, was surprised. "Huh? What the hell? You've gotta be kidding, you guys. Those troops coming in have this whole area totally surrounded. There's no way out." Tamaki told them.
"We've already been cut off. Our only chance of surviving now is to fight." Zero said.
"What?" Inoue said shocked that he would even say that. "We can't fight the Britannians."
"Let me get this straight. We're surrounded and you want us to fight them head-on?" Tamaki said unhappily.
"And we'll be fighting against Cornelia." Sugiyama pointed out, "Her forces are far stronger than any we've encountered."
"Correct. The odds are completely against us," Soul said.
"Indeed. It would be a miracle if we win this." Zero said.
"Zero, Soul, what are you two saying," Ohgi said worriedly.
"Even Messiahs need to perform miracles if they're to be acknowledged. Therefore, we have to produce our own miracle, don't we?" Zero responded.
"He's right, achieving victory here would be the greatest miracle we could produce," Soul added.
"Now look, pulling this off isn't gonna be cheap!" Tamaki yelled. "The price could be our lives! I knew it was insane to make you our leaders! It should be me!" Tamaki said about to take out his gun.
Before he can R.R appears behind him and point his gun at the back of Tamaki's head, thus stopping him, and both Zero and Soul drew their guns and aim them at him, however, once everyone stops to stare at them, Zero turns his gun around and aims it and himself, Soul points his gun at his chest, and R.R points his gun away from Tamaki's head to aim it and his own head, everyone is now even more shocked.
"Our path of retreat has been cut off," Zero said. "If you think you can win without us then shoot us! Someone, anyone."
"You've never won without us, do you think this is the best time to challenge our leadership, in this hopeless situation," Soul said.
Tamaki just stood there too shocked to even speak, even Kallen looked at them shocked.
"Since you've joined the Black Knights, you have only two choices. You may either live with us or you'll die with us!" Zero declared.
"Now make your choice if you choose to shot none of us will stop you!" Soul declared.
"Choose," R.R spoke.
(Base Of The Japan Liberation Front)
Meanwhile, within the base of the Japan Liberation Front, the members were seeing that they were losing ground and the Britannian forces were closing in.
"We're completely surrounded and our underground reserve forces were captured all at once." One of the soldiers reported.
"General Katase. we've received the message from Cornelia's forces demanding our surrender." Another soldier said.
"Imbecile." Katase said strongly, "If we fall here then we've lost and the whole resistant movement falls with us."
"Then general, do we engage the enemy in battle or do we dig in?" Another soldier asked.
"What about Todoh." Katase asked, "Where is he?"
"He's gone to Kyoto." One of the soldiers informed. "To get the custom Burais. The four holy swords are travelling with him, too. If they're on schedule, they should be returning soon. But."
"Todoh won't make it in time," Katase said looking down before readying himself. "Prepare to send out the Burais. We'll break the encirclement on one side and evacuate. We'll show them the Japanese spirit and pride. This is our moment of truth."
(G-1 Mobile Base)
Inside the G-1 Euphie and Cornelia's staff officers were going over the logistics of the operation.
"We believe that the enemy's main base is located in a mountains here," One of Cornelia's staff officers reported. "But we haven't pinpointed it yet. However until we obtain a list of their corroborators, we can't burn down everything with our aerial bombing."
"The enemy is engaging our encirclement, now try to breakthrough with some point." Another staff officer said looking at the map showing Cornelia's forces, "From there we'll be able to ascertain where their base is."
"Our forces are divided into three fronts." The third staff officer said pointing to three different fronts of their forces. "The units let by General Darlton here, General Alex here, and Viceroy Cornelia here."
Suddenly the map and the screen monitor got fuzzy and jammed.
"As for our flanking forces… what?" The officer said seeing the screen get fuzzy,
"It's an enemy ECM." Another staff officer said.
(Battlefield)
At the slope of the mountains, Knightmares led by Darlton in his Gloucester were getting reports of the enemy making their move.
"The main enemy force should be coming out anytime now. We're switching to ECCM mode, link up on channel alfa four." Darlton ordered, "The enemy what are we calling them again?"
"Burais, sir." A soldier replied.
"Right, the rather like pseudo-Glasgow, so watch out for them," Darlton said,
"Yes, my Lord." The soldiers said in unison.
On the other side of the slope, trees on the mountain moved and Burais piloted by members of the JLF came out from the ground to face Cornelia's group.
"How clever, they turned this whole mountain into a fortress," Cornelia said with a smile.
"Your Highness, Please fallback." Guilford requested.
"Guilford, don't treat me as though I'm another one of your women." Cornelia drawled.
Cornelia drove ahead of them with her Jousting Lance drew.
"Princess Cornelia," Guilford called out to her.
Cornelia continued her rush and faced the enemy Knightmares from the JLF. The Burais tried shooting at her but Cornelia was too fast from them and easily destroyed them. Cornelia shot her slash harken at the tanks destroying them, and used her Jousting Lance to impale the last Knightmare and kill the pilot.
"Right, well then I'll cover you from the rear," Guilford said with a smile.
"Hm, well Cornelia is here." Cornelia declared to her enemy, "Is there no one who will challenge me?"
Back at the summit of the mountain with the Black Knights.
"What's wrong?" Zero asked, "Challenge us and try to take us down."
"Or have you had a change of heart?" Soul asked.
Tamaki backed down.
"All right, fine. Do what you want." Tamaki said.
"We acknowledge you as our leaders, Zero," Sugiyama said.
"Thank you very much. I appreciate it." Zero said smiling under his mask, as he, Soul, and R.R put lower their guns.
"Now the let me ask you all," Zero said. "What's the biggest danger on a mountain?"
Everyone was confused by his sudden question.
"Huh... Why are you asking that now of all times?" Tamaki asked.
"Tamaki the answer is simple," Soul said. "It's a landslide, that's the biggest danger."
"But what does that have to do with anything?" Ohgi asked.
"Everything," Zero said. "If hit with a landslide Cornelia's forces will be decimated to the point where we can defeat them."
"But there's no way a landslide would just happen out of nowhere," Yoshida points out.
"True, but if we make one ourselves," Zero suggested getting everyone's attention.
"Something that could be done with the Guren's Radiant Wave Surger," Soul added.
Everyone was now surprised finally getting where they were going with this.
"Wait, is that what the electrodes are for?" Ohgi asked. "This was your plan from the beginning?"
"That's right, strategy is just as important in war as military strength," Zero replied.
"Hold on! Why didn't you just tell us that in the first place!?" Tamaki asked angry and annoyed.
"We wanted to test your resolve and to show you ours," Soul said. "Regardless of what happens, you have to be ready to lay down your life at any moment, just like us, or am I wrong?"
Tamaki didn't say anything as he and the other Black Knights silently agreed with them.
Meanwhile, within the town at bottom of the mountain, a truck was driving past the streets announcing an evacuation order, while an orange-haired man in a black coat was walking by while trying to not be seen.
"Why did they choose this place…" The man said.
Meanwhile, inside a research lab, the research team under Clovis and General Bartley on the Code R project were trying to figure out what to do.
"If the military should find the experimental data on Code R, it's all over." One of the researchers said.
"Oh my. Being inside the terrorist area, we thought it would be difficult for them to discover us." Another researcher said.
"This was all General Bartley's decision, so there's no use in complaining about it." Another researcher said.
(Battlefield)
Back at the battle, Cornelia had just destroyed another Burai with her Gloucester.
"They're too fragile," Cornelia said.
On the other side of the battlefield, Darlton was closing in on the enemy.
"The enemy seems to be concentrated over here," Darlton spoke. "This may be the target. Split up now."
(Base Of The Japan Liberation Front)
In the base of the JLF, Katase and the others were seeing all their units being lost one by one at a fast pace.
"No good." A soldier reported. "Our second attack wave had no effect."
"Their sheer dominance is insurmountable," Katase said clenching his fist.
(Battlefield)
Back on Darlton's side of the battlefield, a soldier contacted Darlton as they arrived at an area with a huge ledge ahead of them.
"General Darlton, based on the analysis of the enemy's movements," The soldier reported. "I've determined that the entrance to the JLF main base is that lodge located up on the mountain."
"I believe the proper word for this situation is Bingo," Darlton said with a smile.
"Well, to be more precise sir…." A soldier replied.
"Oh just call it and already, Mr Literal," Darlton interjected.
One of the Knightmares shot a signal flare and it was seen by Cornelia's unit saw it.
"Is that… Darlton?" Cornelia asked.
"So, that's where the main enemy base is located?" Guilford said.
"Right. We'll be securing our position here." Cornelia said.
"Are you sure about this?" Guilford asked.
"I don't need to steal achievements from my subordinates," Cornelia replied. "Send reserve force to back up Darlton. Looks like he'll be getting another medal."
Meanwhile, Lelouch was inside his Burai and took off his mask while looking at the progress of the battle.
"Impressive as always Cornelia, a very logical deployment," Lelouch said. "However excellent though it is, it's also easy to read as is your location."
Meanwhile, in an area below the mountain, units were in position and it was Jeremiah and the Pure Bloods.
"I thought the reserve units were supposed to be assigned to General Darlton," Jeremiah said frustrated.
"That's right, they were," Villetta said, "but our unit has to secure the rear line of Viceroy Cornelia."
"You mean this is the rear line?" Jeremiah said. "You can't get any further away from the battlefield. How am I going to redeem my reputation out here if I'm not even near the fighting?"
(Base Of The Japan Liberation Front)
Meanwhile, the JLF forces were being completely decimated by the Britannian forces. Katase clenched his teeth in frustration as he was getting reports of units being lost.
"We've lost contact with Nakamura's unit."
"No response from sector three."
"Major Tabata has been killed."
"Kurota and Kurata are gone, too."
"What about Nagai?"
"Where's Todoh?" Katase said. "If only he were here the divine wind would blow. We'd have another miracle of Itsukushima."
(Highway)
Meanwhile, two trucks were driving in a rush to get to Narita and in the trucks were Kyoshiro Tohdo and The Four Holy Swords.
"Sir, don't you think this is a little extreme?" Asahina asked.
"Asahina, Chiba, prep the custom Burais ASAP." Todoh said, "Tell Urabe and Senba behind us to do the same. Traffic is blocked off all around Narita. They've already begun to attack. I just pray that we are on time."
(Battlefield)
Meanwhile, the unit led by Darlton were climbing up the mountain and getting closer to the base. Darlton was confident that they now destroy the JLF,
"Now any resistance still remaining in Area 11…" Darlton said.
Cornelia was in her Knightmare just as confident, "…Will soon be finished."
Meanwhile, at the summit of the mountain, the Black Knights were ready to begin.
"Right, all preparations have now been completed." Zero said inside his Burai, "Black Knights. prepare to move out."
The members all began preparing themselves now with more confidence after hearing Zero and Soul's plan.
"We the Black Knights are going to launch a surprise attack on the Britannians from the summit of the mountain." Zero continued, "Per my instructions, you will charge on most down toward point three. And the intent of this operation is to capture Cornelia, second Princess of Britannia. Our breakthrough route will be opened by the Guren Mk-II."
Kallen then activated the Guren and placed the red Knightmares sliver right arm on one of the electrodes,
"Kallen, use penetrating electrode number three, settle things with one blow," Zero said,
"Got it." Kallen replied, "Output confirmed. Wave Surger level is ready and holding. Activating gun bullet now."
Kallen activated the Radiant Wave Surger on the third electrode which causes an eruption underground, Kallen then deactivated the Radiant Wave Surger and after a few moments, it gave the result that they wanted as the shaking started to occur and an avalanche occurred with great force.
"It worked!" Kallen said amazed.
The rockslide caught the Britannian forces by surprise and they were being swept away by the rockslide, the JLF's main base also felt the effects as the inside of the base was violently shaking. C.C who was outside the small cabin also saw the rockslide.
(G-1 Mobile Base)
In the G-1 Euphie and the staff officers were shocked at what they were seeing on the monitor,
"What's happening?" Euphie said.
"Impossible. How could a landslide come out of nowhere?" One of the staff officers asked.
They were seeing LOST signals of all their units being caught in the landslide.
"Alex and Darlton's units are getting wiped out!" Another staff officer said.
(Battlefield)
On one side of the battlefield, Darlton was using one of his Slash Harkens to keep himself from being swept away.
"Climb!" Darlton ordered. "Get to higher ground!"
On the other side of the battlefield, Cornelia and her unit were looking at the landslide shocked.
"Status report!" Cornelia ordered.
"We're still trying to confirm." A soldier reported,
"Your highness, fall back." Guilford requested. "You're in danger there."
"I don't care. Forget about me!" Cornelia yelled. "Find out about Darlton! And where's Alex!?"
At the base of the mountain, the rockslide stopped without reaching the city and there were mild mudslides in the city with little damage done.
(A.S.E.E.C Trailer)
Meanwhile, Lloyd and Cecile were in their trailer and looked on the monitor showing all the Britannain unit begin hit by the rockslide.
"Oh, my," Lloyd said. "At this rate, they'll be swept all the way to the bottom."
"These heat readings are abnormal." Cecile said, "Do you believe a hydrovolcanic eruption was artificially induced?"
"Impossible. Unless of course, someone's used Rakshata's Radiant Wave Surger." Lloyd pointed out.
"Hey, has something happened?" Suzaku suddenly asked.
Lloyd and Cecile looked up at Suzaku who was sitting in the open cockpit of the Lancelot.
"Aha. But it has nothing to do with us." Lloyd said, "So just relax and continue waiting."
(Narita)
Back at the summit of the mountain Zero looked at the damage done by the landslide pleased with the result.
"Heh. It's just as destructive as I anticipated." Zero said. "And we succeeded in isolating Cornelia's unit but with just the right accuracy. I'm glad I asked Nina that question in probability. I wouldn't want to image the damage that would have been done otherwise,"
"Okay everyone," Soul said inside his Knightmare. "Move out!"
Meanwhile, Cornelia was waiting for a status report of their situation and was contacted,
"New enemy force confirmed moving in from the summit." A soldier contacted, "Carius unit is moving to engage them."
"Hoping to take advantage of all the confusion, are they?" Cornelia said.
"Emergency call from Carius unit." Another soldier contacted,
"What's wrong?" Cornelia asked.
The Black Knights' Knightmare unit was making their way down from the summit of the mountain led by Zero's Burai, and Soul's Agravaine
"It's not the Japan Liberation Front, they think it's the Black Knights." The soldier reported.
"What? Then it's?" Cornelia said.
Meanwhile, Jeremiah was ecstatic when he heard the Black Knights appeared,
"Zero!" Jeremiah said loudly, "How dare he show up here, Zero!" Jeremiah quickly piloted his Knightmare and headed towards the Black Knights.
"Lord Jeremiah," Villetta called out, "you can't just abandon your post."
"This requires drastic measures," Jeremiah interjected. "If you want glory in life, then follow me!"
Zero and Soul continued to lead their unit down the mountain.
"Cornelia has only limited reinforcements headed her way," Zero said. "Smash right through them."
"Yeah, we can do this now," Tamaki said.
The Black Knights continued their strike against the Britannian army. Inoue led a group of members back for the main unit.
"All right everybody? You know the game plan." Inoue said. "Our job is to watch their backs. Get ready? Fire!"
The group fired at a tank and destroyed it.
Meanwhile, Jeremiah was seeing units being destroyed on his monitor as he continued his charge.
"The enemy's taken out Carius's unit?" Jeremiah said and was determined. "If I can finish this before Zero reaches Princess Cornelia, then I'll be golden."
"Lord Jeremiah." Villetta contacted.
"Villetta you came." Jeremiah contacted and was pleased. "I knew that you would."
"Burn the bridges behind you and keep your back to the wall," Zero said continuing his charge. "Classical strategies remain effective ones, don't they?"
Jeremiah saw their unit and began firing at them.
"Zero," Jeremiah said with venom.
Jeremiah aimed for to of the Black Knights but Soul jumped in front and blocked his bullets.
"Is Zero here? If he is, then face me." Jeremiah demanded as he and his unit stopped in front of them. "Come forward and fight Jeremiah Gottwald!"
"Well, well, it's been a while, Jeremiah," Zero said. "So you're still in the army? I'd love to stay and catch up but I'm afraid I don't have time right this minute, Orange Boy." Zero taunted him with a smile.
Jeremiah was outraged at him calling him Orange.
"Orange? Die!" Jeremiah yelled but the Guren landed in front of him. That stooped his charge and disarmed his Machine Gun, Jeremiah quickly drew his Stun Tonfas.
"Lord Jeremiah," Villetta called out.
"Stay out of this," Jeremiah responded. "This is my duel."
"But look at it," Villetta said. "I've never seen a Knightmare like that before. Is it possible that the Elevens have…"
"You think Elevens are capable of such technology?" Jeremiah argued.
"Well now's a good time I suppose," Soul said. "He's yours, Kallen, take care of him."
"Right, I'm on it," Kallen said determinedly.
Jeremiah charged his Sutherland and Kallen piloted the Guren MK II to counter Jeremiah's Knightmare, Jeremiah was shocked to see how fast the red Knightmare was and struggled to keep up.
"It's fast. This thing, is this what destroyed Carius's unit?" Jeremiah asked.
"Yeah, that's right Britannia," Kallen said. "We can finally go up against you on equal footing head-on. And our counter-attack begins with this baby the Guren Mk-II."
Kallen lunges her Knightmares sliver arm towards Jeremiah's Sutherland.
"Oh hell! There's something on its right hand." Jeremiah deduced and tried to back away. "But if I keep my distance?"
The long sliver arm extended and grabbed the Sutherlands head surprising Jeremiah.
"What's this?"
"Sorry," Kallen said before activating the Radiant Wave Surger.
The Radiant Wave Surger was causing Jeremiah's Knightmare to swell up from an extremely powerful amount of Radiation energy.
"Ah… What—What the hell's happening?!" Jeremiah shocked in shock.
"Lord Jeremiah," Villetta contacted. "Eject."
"I can't run now!" Jeremiah yelled. "Zero's right in front of me! He's standing right here!"
Jeremiah's Sutherland continued to swell and in the cockpit, the screen showed Jeremiah the auto-eject and Jeremiah was suffering damage to his body and started to bleed,
"Damn it! The auto-eject! Don't you dare activate!" Jeremiah ranted as he was in pain. "I can still get Zero! I know it! I know I can still get him! Aah!"
The auto-eject activated and Jeremiah's cockpit was blown away while his Sutherland exploded, Kallen brought the sliver hand back and was feeling confident.
"I won't lose!" Kallen said. "Not with this… Guren Mk-II!"
"They defeated Lord Jeremiah!" Villetta said surprised. "Who are the Black Knights? Who are they, these warriors?"
"She's even better than I thought," Soul said with a smile. "With Kallen, Zero, and myself, we'll definitely win this battle."
"All our tasks at hand have been cleared." Zero thought with a smile. "The pieces are in position. The only thing left to do is check my opponent's stronghold."
