Code Geass: Black-Blooded Orphans
Stage 15: True Intentions
Fukuoka Base, Kyushu
The base of Fukuoka was captured by the Chinese backed Japanese Exiles. The flag of Japan stood still after it was raised. Sawasaki was having a broadcast all over the world to announce the 'Resurrection of Japan', which was an excuse by the Chinese.
"We Declare Japan as an independent and sovereign nation!" Sawasaki said.
Black Knights Mobile HQ Trailer
The Black Knights were watching the broadcast and couldn't believe what they heard.
"The hell is all of this?" Yoshida said.
"Well it's a bunch of crap! They're saying that it's technically OUR fault that this is happening when we didn't even know the Chinese would have a good enough excuse to invade!" Tamaki said.
"Well we did defeat Cornelia on several occasions, not to mention we utterly defeated Clovis at Shinjuku, and then we go about defeating Britannia's White Knight with the Ganymede, and we basically went and exposed a lot of corrupted bureaucracy in the government along with illegal drug shipments." Inoue said.
Naoto was focused on the TV and thought about why the Chinese would go after 7 years after Britannia invaded.
'They would have every opportunity to step in and take Japan. I mean the resistance groups, the media, the exploitation of the corrupt government, even we the Black Knights gave them every excuse and we didn't know about it sooner or later. But then they use Sawasaki as their excuse when there was a bunch of excuses in the first place. Why use Sawasaki instead of the resistance groups and the Black Knights as their excuse? Why bother for an excuse when the population of the Chinese Federation is the most largestest in the world? Could it be that their real goal was to—'
"Um, Naoto? What are you thinking about?" Ohgi asked.
"Oh. It's nothing." Naoto said as he shook his head. "What does Kyoto think?"
"Well they didn't know either." Ohgi said.
'And now I'm starting to get the picture behind all of this.' Naoto thought.
Ashford Academy
The Student Council was wondering what was going on. They had a meeting about the recent events. Lelouch was on the phone with Naoto. Apparently, Naoto may have finally figured out what's going on.
"So basically, Sawasaki is just a puppet for the Chinese to take over Japan?" Lelouch asked.
"It's just a theory. But if I'm actually right about this then we better get in there and intervene." Naoto said.
"Right then." Lelouch said, "Bye."
"Bye." Naoto said.
He hung up the phone and Lelouch turned to the council with only Rai and Suzaku missing.
"So what did he say?" Rivalz asked.
"It's clearly obvious that Sawasaki is just the Chinese Federation's pawn in all of this." Lelouch said.
"Well I guess that would make sense." Rivalz said.
"Yeah, obviously this whole thing is actually a Chinese Invasion undercover." Milly said.
"Well at least it isn't the Mongols, because if they still existed and had Knightmare Frames, we'd be dead long before we had a chance." Rivalz said.
"In any case, we will have to intervene. Japan deserved the future, not the past." Lelouch said.
The council nodded in response.
"We'll leave after school is over. That will be all." Lelouch said.
Avalon
The Avalon's repairs were coming smoothly. Schneizel wanted the Float Units for the Lancelot, the Club and the Kimaris to be delivered. The transports were on schedule and we're headed to their designated destination. Schneizel was in his quarters. Euphie went to visit Schneizel, who looked pretty serious about something.
"What's wrong Schneizel?" Euphie asked.
"Nothing. Nothing is wrong. I'm just thinking." Schneizel said.
"Right. I'll give you some space." Euphie said.
She closes the door as Schneizel thought long and hard. He thought about the gigantic Knightmare that was stuck in the wall of the cave. Apparently when the Zero shot through the ceiling of the cave, he may have accidentally destroyed the Gefjun Disturbers that held the mechanical beast down. He worried that it might wake up and break free of its stone cold prison and rampage throughout the world. He knew it would best be reprogrammed as soon as possible, but now that the Disturbers were gone, there's a good chance that reprogramming the machine will just wake it up. He thought that it would be best to just bury it after everything else ends.
Fukuoka
The Britannian forces and the Chinese backed forces were fighting the enemy, but have had no luck due to to a storm. Aircraft couldn't launch and the landing operation would get messy due to the water being stirred up by the storm. The enemy was relentless. The Britannians will have to put the landing operation on hold until the storm ends. Cornelia clenched her hands and balled them into fists.
'Damn…. If I keep having to put up with all of this shame….. Damn you Zero. You brought this all upon me. I can't wait to kill you after this is all over.' Cornelia thought.
Next Day….
Isaribi
The Isaribi was headed to Fukuoka under the water to avoid visual detection. The Black Knights were going under the briefing.
"So basically if we help Sawasaki, the Chinese will use is as their excuse too." Asahina said.
"Exactly, all we need to do is get Sawasaki and see how it all plays out from there." Zero said, "The Gawain will head in using the Gefjun Disturbers as a stealth device to help get me in. Once I give the all clear signal to attack, we charge at the enemy head on."
"So you go in solo, and then we come in like wrecking ball." Naoto said.
"That's right. It's time to show both sides that we stand for the protection of the nation and its people while fighting against evil!" Zero said.
"Right!" The Black Knights responded.
Avalon
The Float units have came in and now are being attached to the Lancelot, the Club, and the Kimaris. The Avalon now had reactivates it's float unit and flew back up and went to Fukuoka to back up the Britannian landing operation at Kyushu. Euphie has finally had the patch off her eye. Suzaku approached the princess.
"Suzaku? What is it?" Euphie asked.
"It's about the Kimaris. What's it like to be hooked into it?" Suzaku asked.
"Well it….. It kinda feels as if me and the Knightmare are one with each other. Not only that, it's like it begun to have emotions like I do. I can hear it speak to me as if it was with me." Euphie said, "Why do you ask?"
"Well…. It's nothing. I was just….." Suzaku stuttered.
"You saw it too." Euphie said.
"Eh?" Suzaku said.
"The way I suddenly had changed at that very moment. The very moment I turned off the safety limiters." Euphie said as tears flowed down her eyes.
"E-Euphie….. It's not like I'm afraid of you or anything, it's just….. Why? Why would you go through the operation even though you thought that violence was never the answer?" Suzaku asked.
"It's just that… I… I wanted the power to finally put an end to all of the fighting….. I thought that with the operation, I could have finally have the power to end all of this pain and suffering of every person in the world… I… I never thought it would…" Euphie said as she began to sob.
Suzaku hugged Euphie, putting his head above hers.
Hangar Bay
A prototype unit similar to the Lancelot and theKimaris was finally unveiled from a secret container inside the Avalon. It was called the Bael. The Bael had a prototype float unit and had two guns in its boosters. It was also equipped with two MVSs and could use Blaze Luminous shields on its arms. Schneizel was its pilot, which some have held into question thinking that even a strategist like him couldn't be that good of a pilot. The simulations however proved otherwise.
Fukuoka Base
The Britannian landing operation had now begun. The Avalon had reached Fukuoka and is now entering the combat zone. The bridge got stowed away and put into combat mode. The Lancelot was put on the catapult.
"Are we setting up for a barrage?" Suzaku asked.
"We'll be fine from where we are at now." Cecile said.
A barrage of anti air missiles were fired. The Avalon had a shield in place to protect it from incoming fire and activated its shield. The missiles hit, but the shields protected the Avalon.
'Well it's a good thing we had that shield on.' Lloyd thought, 'However, we haven't made it so that it would cover the ship.'
"Lancelot, now launching." Cecile said.
"Heading out!" Suzaku said.
The Lancelot was flung out of the catapult. It's float unit activates, spreading its wings out and releasing a green light to keep it afloat. The Club launched out of the catapult and was followed by the Kimaris. The three units landed on the ground after a few minutes of flying and destroying a few VTOLs and proceeded on the ground. Chinese Gun-Rus were moving in on a intercept course with the three units. The Gun-Rus come out and start firing upon the three. The Kimaris dodged the bullets and rushed in firing its VARIS guns on its Lance. The guns ripped the Gun-Rus to shreds, but their numbers were just too much for simply one unit to handle.
"Damn, now what?" Rai said after firing a shot from his VARIS, destroying a Gun-Ru.
"We fall back. We can't take them head on." Suzaku said.
"Right." Euphie said.
The three units fell back and lured the Gun-Rus so that they were packed in together, making it hard to get out. They fired at the Gun-Rus, destroying every last one of them. The three went and moved up, but were surrounded from all sides. They know they that they can't possibly get out from this situation. However, just before the Gun-Rus fired, two black streams of energy went and melted every last one of them to slag, exploding into scrap. The three looked up and there the Gawain flew above them.
'He made it…..' Suzaku thought.
"Ok, how did that thing get there?" Rai said.
"A stealth system. I should have known those weird things were capable of doing something like this." Euphie said.
"Why hello there, Euphemia." Zero said.
"Can I shoot him?" Rai asked.
"Only if he decides to kill us." Suzaku said.
"Right…." Rai said.
"I will assure you that I am only here to protect the nation. Nothing more, nothing less." Zero said.
CC was sitting in the front while Lelouch was in the back.
"Ok, just how exactly is that true?" Rai asked.
"What kind of man would I be if I said that I will hit the enemy?" Lelouch said, "Now Ohgi. Just like planned."
The Isaribi surfaced and lifted into the air. The catapult opens, revealing the Guren MK.2 equipped with one of Rakshata's Float Units.
"Kallen Kouzuki, Flight-Enabled Guren MK.2, heading out!" Kallen said.
The catapult hurled the Guren MK.2 out into the battlefield. The Guren activated its float unit and heads out into battle. The Pre-Gekka gets loaded on the catapult. It too has the same float unit as the Guren's.
"Naoto Kouzuki, Gekka MK.2, heading out." Naoto said.
The Gekka is tossed out by the catapult. Soon, all the Black Knights were deployed. The Ganymede was loaded on the catapult.
'Let's go, Okaasan.' Nunnally thought, "Nunnally vi Britannia, Ganymede, let's go!"
The Ganymede is launched out of the catapult. Sawasaki was as utterly shocked as everyone else was.
'This can't be! I'm fighting for Japan! Why in the hell would Zero of all people would want to stop me? Can't he see that I'm doing it for Japan?!' Sawasaki thought.
"What the hell?" Cornelia said.
"I guess he just helped turned the tide of battle in our favor, come on Nelly!" Nonette said.
The Gawain flies up and fires its hadron cannons at a few Chinese VTOLs. The VTOLs were destroyed. The Black Knights attacked the base and are slowly making progress. Sawasaki along with General Tsao attempt to escape so they could form another line at Kagoshima. However, the VTOL that would have gotten them there was lost. The Ganymede slowly rose up as Sawasaki looked in horror.
"That's enough. Sawasaki." Nunnally said.
'It can't be! How in the hell is that child still alive?! Why in the hell is all of this happening to me?!' Sawasaki thought.
The battle soon ended with Sawasaki being captured and the Chinese withdrew their forces. The Black Knights fled from the scene. The Kyushu Incident had finally come to an end. The Black Knights were gaining even more support. The Avalon along with the rest of the Britannian forces withdrew, leaving a few battalions behind to clean up and supervise the reconstruction of what's left of Kyushu. Soon, the world realized that Zero really stood on the side of Justice and wanted to keep peace across the world.
