Code Geass: Black-Blooded Orphans
Stage 7: The Battle of Narita
Code R Project Site 14, Narita
Wesker had been ordered to switch out Colonel Madd, a bald, tall man who was a cyborg. Wesker had told the man to make sure that not one of the researchers tries to hamper the project. Madd had come inside to watch over the team as they did their work. Wesker however on the way back, died in an accident that may have destroyed a container holding the Dozel, killing it as well. It would appear that Madd had intentionally caused the accident that killed Wesker.
In a warehouse
The Black Knights were looking at some Burai that Kyoto had built.
'Now this is what I call quantity over quality.' Rivalz thought.
"So this makes us the elite?" A black knight asked.
"They got our backs covered. That's for sure." Another one said.
"Seems like everyone is in high spirits." Naoto said.
"No kidding. They even sent some new C6 models for us to use." Yoshida said as he looked at the new models.
These were C6-Ts or Tanks. The C6 Tank had the tank turret of the Type 90 battle tank, only it was more easy to rotate. There is a commander model that uses two barrels. The turret can load automatically. The Guison had been remodeled to now look more tough on the outside and had a body almost similar to the more round and versatile Rodi Frame and came with shoulder cannons. It's head had the shape of what would be what a Rodi Frame would have, only that it's head had two eyes of its own.
"But the best part about all of this are these two." Minami said as he looked at a red Knightmare and a blue Knightmare.
"Yeah, those are purely Japanese made Knightmares." Keitaro said.
"The Guren MK.2 and the Pre-Gekka Test Type." Kallen said.
These two models were different from the rest because of their new body frames, Gekka Frames. The Gekka Frame was fast, agile, and can even use wrist mounted weapons. The cockpits of both the Knightmares were just Motorcycle seats. They also both hold the Radiant Wave Surger, a heat energy weapon capable of destroying ordinary Knightmares in a few seconds.
"It's a test. They want to simply test us." Zero said.
"A test?" Naoto inquired.
"Well, if they want to see that we're the real deal, we'll show em." Yoshida said.
"Naoto, Kallen." Zero said as he hands Naoto a blue key while giving Kallen a red key.
Both keys look like feathers.
"They're yours." Zero said, "Take good care of them."
"Wait but Zero—"
"I get it." Naoto said, "I guess me and Kallen are fully capable of getting these two at full potential, am I right?"
"Yes. I'm confident that you two will be enough to pilot these two and release their hidden potential." Zero said.
"So you are just going to use a Burai?" Naoto asked.
"As a commander, I might as well." Zero said.
"We understand then, Zero." Kallen said.
"Just be careful alright?" Naoto said.
"I will." Zero said.
"Zero, we just got word that a Britannian is attempting to join us." Ohgi said.
"Name?" Zero asked.
"Diethard Ried." Ohgi said.
'The guy from the Orange Incident?' Lelouch thought.
"What do you think?" Ohgi asked.
"Let him in, I think I may have a few fans among the Britannian masses already." Zero said.
"Ok, but he had some evidence of a Britannian attack on the Narita Mountains." Ohgi said.
"Well then, we might as well go hiking then." Zero said.
"Hiking?" Ohgi asked.
"Yes, to the Narita Mountains." Zero said.
Ashford Academy
Lelouch went Nina to see if she was available. Lelouch knocks on the door to see if she's there. She opens the door slightly and pokes her head out.
"Oh Lelouch, come in." Nina said as she opened the door.
"Nina, I need you to tell me all about Probability." Lelouch requested.
"Wait, you mean as in the likelihood of something happening?" Nina asked.
"Yeah, like that." Lelouch said.
"Well then…." Nina said as her face blushed a little bit, "It goes like this."
Black Knights Mobile HQ
Nunnally was looking at the plans for the Narita Mountains.
'If Oniisama uses the Radiant Wave Surger to cause an Avalanche, it's best that no one should be in the city by the time he uses it.' Nunnally thought.
Mount Fuji
The Burai Kais were being loaded on the trucks that the Four Holy Swords and Todoh were using to take the custom Burais. Once the Burais were loaded, the trucks holding them drove off to Narita.
"Are you sure about this?" Asahina asked.
"Trust me, I have a bad feeling that something awful is going to happen." Todoh said, "However, behind that is a feeling of good, I don't know why, but it's best we get back with the Burais ASAP."
Narita
In a small lodge, 2 JLF soldiers were playing a game of poker. They heard someone knock.
"I'll get it." The first one said as he got off his chair and opened the door, only to find Zero at the front door.
"Act as if nothing unusual is happening." Lelouch said as he casted the Geass at the two men that were alarmed by his presence.
They resumed playing poker while Lelouch puts his mask back on and signaled the Black Knights. A Burai that was hidden in the woods closed its Factsphere Sensor.
"Alright let's go." The pilot said.
The Black Knights resumed climbing up the mountain with a few trucks holding Excavators. The Gekka and the Guren were not far behind.
"What did Zero meant when he said we were going hiking on mount Narita?" A Black Knight asked.
"Probably to dig a hot spring, maybe that's why he got these excavators with us." Another one said.
"It could be Training." Another one said.
"Hey Naoto, you know anything?" Tamaki asked.
"Not sure. All I can say is that whatever Zero has in mind, He'll tell us when the time is right." Naoto said as he read the manual for the Gekka.
Lelouch was on the communicator talking to Nunnally, who had her forces in the city looking for anyone that is to be evacuated.
"How is everything going down there?" He asked.
"It's going smoothly, we managed to get most of the civilians out." Nunnally said.
"And the search of the Code R Project?" Lelouch asked.
"Sayoko is already on it. If she finds anything, she'll ping the location for us." Nunnally said, "How's the view up there?"
"Looks great from where I'm standing." Lelouch said, "Be careful out there."
"You too Oniisama." Nunnally said.
The transmission ends. Meanwhile, Viletta in her Sutherland had sighted the Black Knights aiding with the evacuation and relays the info back to Kewell who has taken command of the Purebloods.
"The Black Knights are what?" Kewell said.
"That's right. They're evacuating any and all civilians." Viletta said.
'Just what is that man up to?' Kewell thought as he looked at the mountain.
JLF Base
"You're serious?!" Katase said.
"That's right. Cornelia's forces will hit this place shortly, I suggest you prepare as soon as possible. I'm only doing this just to make sure you all survive." Zero said.
"What about Todoh?" Katase asked.
"I'm afraid by the time the attack starts, he won't make it." Zero said.
"So now I have to rely on you? Is that what you're saying?" Katase asked.
"Well what other options do you have?" Zero asked.
Katase had begun to think hard about any options left. He would have no other choice but to help Zero, but that will cost the autonomy of the JLF. He could go about this on his own, but without Todoh, there would not be a miracle at all. Surrender is out of the question as well. Committing suicide wouldn't solve anything either. Charging head-on would mean he would lose a lot men. He could try to buy some time until everyone can rally to the Black Knights, but that would take too long. He could wait it out, but if Todoh doesn't make it, they'll fall eventually.
"I assure you, If you let me guide you and your men, you and I will have victory in our grasp." Zero said.
"Can you beat them?" Katase asked.
"If we can capture Cornelia, yes. But first, we'll need to hit the enemy forces with an Artillery barrage, that should keep them at bay." Zero said, "That will make it easier to hold them off while me and the Black Knights finish preparing."
"What do you mean?" Katase asked.
"With the Guren MK.2's Radiant Wave Surger, I should be able to cause an artificial Hydrovolcanic eruption that will send mud and dirt to pillage and destroy our enemies in one fell swoop, isolating Cornelia." Zero said, "For now, just concentrate your artillery fire at the enemies heading towards the entrance to your base."
'So that's his plan? Oh well then I got no choice.' Katase thought, "please, for the sake of Japan and its people, guide me and my men to victory as Todoh did in Itsukushima. Give the Japanese along with the resistance movement a miracle."
"You made a good choice. Once we beaten the enemy back, we will join forces." Zero said.
"Thank you Zero." Katase said with a bow.
"Your welcome." Zero said as the transmission feed cuts out.
"Alright then, prepare to lay down an artillery barrage. We'll use it in the case we have to retreat our forces, for now we'll use it to hold the enemy back. As soon as the barrage begins, send out the Burais. Get the Raikous outfitted with artillery shells and have them concentrate their fire at the enemy. We'll show them how we the Japan Liberation Front fights!" Katase said, "BANZAI!"
"BANZAI!" The whole group shouts.
Artillery units inside the mountain move out to ready an artillery barrage as Raikous begin moving into position to fire their electromagnetic cannons at the Britannians. There were also Burai that were equipped with long-range guns on their shoulders and tank treads for legs and Gatling guns for arms along with Missile launchers on the back. These were Burai Tanks. Burai Cannons also moved into position and ready their shoulder mounted mid-range cannons and missile launchers. The Burai Tanks move into position and aim their guns.
G-1 Base
The Britannian forces were at the ready to begin their assault on the mountain. They had three main forces that will charge up the mountain. Cornelia's forces will come in from the left. Alex's forces will come in from the right. And Kewell's forces will take the middle. The Lancelot, Lancelot Club, and the Julia were holding to the rear. Euphemia's Kimaris is in the G-1. Should there be an emergency, the Britannians will have to use the Kimaris, Lancelot, Lancelot Club, and the Julia. Clovis was in the Bridge with Euphemia discussing the plans even further.
"The ASEEC Corps along with lady Nonette will be on standby while staying in the rear. The Kimaris will have to wait in the G-1 in case of an emergency." Clovis said, "The enemy hasn't come out yet, they may be planning on organizing their troops if the Black Knights have begun evacuating the civilians."
"And should they attack from outside the encirclement?" Euphie asked.
"We have a defense line in place in the case they charge from the outside." A staff officer said.
"The Purebloods, Alex's forces, and Cornelia's forces will comprise as the main attack force." Another one said.
"We need to get a list of their collaborators as soon as our forces can find the entrance to the enemy's base and take out the enemy forces. So aerial bombing is out of the question." Clovis said, "All preparations should be finished by now."
Code R Project Site 14
Colonel Madd had just made it back in time to get the project team up and out. He noticed that one of them was missing.
"Where's the last one?" Madd asked.
"Well…. He… Let's just say he decided to quit." One of the researchers said.
'Joseph is deserting the project now is he? Oh well then, his demise is practically coming closer to him anyways.' Madd thought.
G-1 Base
Cornelia's Gloucester was ready and was loaded on the G-1's catapult.
"Princess, we are ready to begin." Guilford said.
"Well then, have Euphie and Clovis provide Logistical Support as planned." Cornelia said.
"Right." Guilford said.
'Darlton, Nunnally, Lelouch, I'll avenge you. I'll do it by killing every last resistance group there is in this place and force the Elevens to submit.' Cornelia thought as started up her Gloucester, "Begin the operation."
The Gloucester launched from the G-1 as trains began opening as Sutherlands wielding lances and guns leave the trains. Planes began deploying Knightmare VTOLS as they deploy Sutherlands from the skies. Yorks and Sutherlands come in through the streets. The mountains were surrounded.
'You the Japan Liberation Front, you who have lacked human decency, I'll turn the dream of a bygone age into nothing but dust.' Cornelia thought, 'And you Zero, no matter how many times you try to mimic Lelouch's sense of justice or even speak of his ideology as if you were his disciple, You are just an Eleven. I will not allow myself to fall for your lies.'
Narita
'It's begun.' Lelouch thought, "Do not fear. Fear is only what's in the heart. If you can overcome danger and fear, you can call yourself a true warrior."
'That's right Lelouch. I taught that to you when you first joined our ranks. You really have come a long way since then…..' Naoto thought.
"You're absolutely sure about doing this?" Nemo asked.
"I can't run away, and I don't intend on running away." Nunnally said.
"Well then just try to stay alive." Nemo said.
'Now we can begin here and now.' Katase thought, "Commence artillery barrage!"
And upon that order, the artillery units aimed.
"Concentrate fire in sectors Z-01 to A-09, Fire!" A logistics man said.
The Burai Tanks, Cannons, Raikous, and Artillery Tanks began unleashing a symphony of shells and rockets at the approaching Britannians. The barrage could be heard as far as the city. The Britannian forces were getting pummeled, and they haven't even seen the enemy yet.
"An artillery barrage?!" Kewell exclaimed.
'Looks like Katase is doing what brother wanted him to do. Now we just wait for our signal to begin marching.' Nunnally thought.
'I feel bad for those Brits. They had no idea that we prepped an artillery barrage. Let's see if they can make sense of it at all.' Katase thought.
"Battle formation have been completed!" A soldier said.
"Good, ready the next barrage." Katase said.
The Purebloods along with a few other units that survived the barrage were climbing up.
"They should be coming out. Switch to ECCM and link up on channel alpha 4. The Burais are nothing but Glasgows, keep an eye out." Kewell orders.
"Yes, milord." The soldiers replied.
The factsphere on Guilford's Gloucester closes. 3 Burais reveal themselves.
"They turned this mountain into a Fortress." Cornelia said.
"Your highness, allow me to—"
"Guilford, I'm not one of your women, remember?" Cornelia said.
She charged at the three Burai with her Lance deploying its small blades.
"Your Highness!" Guilford yelled.
The Burais fire at the Gloucester, trying to take it down. It was just too fast for the three.
"Insolent worms!" Cornelia shouts as she destroys two Burais with her Lance, finishing the last one by skewering it.
Guilford destroys a tank that happened to have been firing at Cornelia.
"I guess I'll cover you from the rear." Guilford said.
"Well? Cornelia is here, is there no one who can challenge me?" Cornelia said.
Code R Project Site 14
The capsules holding the experiments were being stored on a truck. Madd had to make sure that all of the capsules are accounted for. He got in the truck and one of the researchers drove out. However, they accidentally left one of them behind. The one capsule that held Jeremiah in stasis is all that was left behind along with a few photos of CC in different time periods. Sayoko and a team of Black Knights including Nina had made it inside the lab. They began investigating the lab and found pictures of CC in every different time period along with the Capsule Jeremiah was in.
"Seems like mostly everything is gone. Well except the photos and that container." Sayoko said.
"I wonder what's in the container." Nina wondered.
The container opens and revealed Jeremiah with parts of his body being made up of cybernetics. Nina was shocked that the project would also go far into cybernetic reconstruction. Nina checked if the man was conscious. He was out cold. Hopefully he doesn't wake up too soon.
"Should we call it in?" A black knight asked.
"Just do it already." Another one said.
A signal flare was fired up in the sky from the roof of the building.
Summit of the mountain
Inoue saw the flare.
"They did it." Inoue said.
"Gotta give that Ninja maid some credit, she's like the equivalent of almost every badass ninja in almost every anime possible." Tamaki said.
At the city below the mountain
'God damnit…' Madd thought, "Ok, which one of you left some of the evidence back there?"
The researchers shriveled in fear at the question, trying to think of something.
'I guess it's a good thing I brought my own custom G-X Alpha.' Madd thought.
On the mountain
The Burai Tanks and Cannons along with the Raikous Fire another barrage to help cover the retreat of the JLF forces as they fought valiantly.
'If those artillery units keep hitting us, we're finished.' Kewell thought.
JLF Base
"The first line is fallen, most of our troops there are joining up and strengthening the second defense line." A JLF soldier said.
'Todoh has to make it, if Zero could hurry with his preparations, we'll be golden.' Katase thought, 'And with Todoh, we may actually turn things over to our favor.'
On a highway to Narita
Two trucks slam right through a barricade leading to the mountain.
"Asahina, Chiba, deploy the custom Burais, have Senba and Urabe do the same." Todoh said, "The Britannians have already began their attack, I just hope it isn't too late."
On the Mountain
The Britannian forces had managed to get through the second line. They began climbing up. The Britannian forces were climbing up as they grow closer to the summit.
'Soon, any resistance in Area 11 should go away. But that leaves the Black Knights. No matter, it will only be for just a few days afterwards.' Kewell thought.
'Now, once they are gone, you're next Zero.' Cornelia thought.
Summit of the Mountain
"All preparations are finished. Black Knights, it's time to move out!" Lelouch said in his Burai that's head looks like a samurai helmet.
The Black Knights quickly got in their Knightmares and Knight Walkers as they finished checking their weapons.
"We will launch a surprise attack on the Britannians. Remember that we are to capture Cornelia, second princess of Britannia!" Lelouch said, "Our path will be open with the Guren MK.2 and the Pre-Gekka."
The Guren and Gekka close their cockpit hatches and activate.
"On my orders, we will move down on point-3. Naoto, use penetrating electrode 3. Finish it in one blow." Lelouch said.
Naoto hovered the Gekka's 3 pronged claw hand on its left arm over the excavator.
"Sakuradite output ok. Radiant Wave Surger activation on standby." Naoto said, 'Please work…'
He took one deep breathe.
"Activating now!" Naoto said as he activated the Radiant Wave Surger.
The Radiant Wave Surger activated and sent a huge microwave burst into the excavator that was dug into the water veins of the mountain. The Radiant Wave Surger deactivates and ejects one energy pod. The ground shook with fear as a gush of mud erupted from the mountain, forming a huge landslide. The JLF quickly got to their posts by the time it had came and destroyed most of the Britannian forces.
G-1 Base
Almost everyone on the bridge was confused at what was going over there.
"A landslide? Now of all times?!" A staff officer exclaimed.
"Alex and Kewell's forces are being wiped out!" Another one said.
On the Mountain
"Climb damnit! Get to higher ground! NOW!" Kewell exclaimed.
"Your highness, it's too dangerous!" Guilford said.
"Give me a sitrep damnit!" Cornelia yelled.
"We're still trying to confirm!" A soldier replied.
"Damn, where the hell is Kewell and Alex?" Cornelia asked herself.
The mud stopped flowing at the foot of the mountain.
'Well, if that's the how strong the Gekka's Radiant Wave Surger is, then the Guren's probably more powerful than the Gekka's. It was a good thing I asked Nina about Probability, otherwise the city would be covered in mud.' Lelouch thought.
"Could this have been a Hydrovolcanic eruption?" Cecile asked.
"If they used what I think they used, then yes it was an eruption that was artificially introduced." Lloyd said.
"What's going on?" Rai asked.
"Yeah, what Rai asked." Suzaku said.
"Nothing to do with us I'm afraid." Lloyd said.
'By the gods…. It's just like what his majesty said. Zero is definitely no ordinary man. It would take only Schneizel himself to help us defeat him.' Nonette thought.
"New enemy unit in the summit, Kalius's Unit is moving to engage them." A soldier reports.
'Trying to take advantage of what's happened?' Cornelia thought.
"Emergency call from Kalius's unit!" The soldier said.
"What's wrong?" Cornelia asked.
"He's says its not the JLF, buts it's the Black Knights!" The soldier said.
"Then that means—"
"No wait, there's a call from the barricade…. Oh my god…" The soldier said.
"Well what is it?!" Cornelia asked.
"The Black Knights… t-they're attacking from both the summit AND from outside the encirclement line…. Oh god….. It's the Ganymede! They're saying the Ganymede is leading the charge at the encirclement line!" The soldier said.
Meanwhile, The Ganymede along with some Burais including the Rei and the Gusion charged at the encirclement line.
"Alright, charge!" Nunnally shouts.
"KURO BANZAI!" The Black Knights shouted their battle cry.
