Chapter 2 The White Queen Knightmareframe
(Shinjuku Ghetto)
Naoto watched as a knightmareframe pulled into the warehouse were Lelouch and CC were.
"Hey Lelouch there is a knightmare coming in should I disable it?" Naoto asked through the comms.
"No let it pass this women is the one I told you about. Ohgi will one day fall in love with her. Prepare the tranq dart." Lelouch said as he prepared himself for Villeta.
"Are you not going to kill her?" CC asked as she rested her head on Lelouch's shoulder. "She did put a major kink in your plans last time." CC added with her usual tone of voice. After have her memories of the future she reverted back to the good old witch that Lelouch had come to know and love.
"As temping as that sounds I don't won't to take away other people's happiness." Lelouch muttered as he recalled what happen through his memories.
Within a minute the Sutherland appeared. Using the same trick he did last time Lelouch goateed her out. Just as she approached she was shot with the tranq dart.
"Damn I'm a good shot that had to be two mile away." Naoto said with a coy smile knowing it was due to the fact his geass gave him perfect accuracy.
"You are too much Naoto, but still that was a good shot. Alright now proceed to point C and wait for the red Glasgow to jump on the train. Until then we will go radio silence." Lelouch commanded going into his zero persona. "Now, where is Q1?" Lelouch said as he tried to find his ace pilot.
"So you are going to make things right with that little red queen of yours." CC said wait a taunting smile. "She is rather pretty, ravishing even."
"Would you shut witch." Lelouch hissed but the tone had a hidden meaning.
"So are you ready begin again witch?" Lelouch asked wanting to know her true feelings on it. "Yes, but this time we will do it right and by the way your geass is fully matured." CC said with an impressed tone and noticing the geass in both of Lelouch's eyes. "It must be a gift from god but you know have a blue geass rather than original." CC said trying to get Lelouch to explain it.
"GG or God really didn't say anything about it." Lelouch said as he started up the Sutherland. "That sounds like them." CC said not really showing any emotion. "Wait you know GG is the other timeline you never mention him." Lelouch said wanting to know more of his contractor. "It must be because this has different details. It is up you to figure them out. I don't know everything little boy." CC said with a coy smile.
"Curse you dam witch." Lelouch hissed as he pulled CC onto his lap.
Kallen Stadtfeld was not having a great day for a couple of reasons trouble at home, second their operation failed and she had lost a dear friend because of this, and lastly she was now being chased by two Military Sutherlands which outclassed her one armed, and damaged Glasgow. Those new Knightmares were more agile and more powerful compare to her Frame and it was hard for her to keep up as the energy of her machine was slowly dwindling.
"Naoto, looks like I'm going to join you sooner than I expected," Kallen muttered with soft whispered while glancing at the power reading of her machine. "Damn it, thirty minutes left." Kallen muttered as she dodged several gun shots from the Knightmares that were chasing her.
"The West Entrance," An unfamiliar voice ordered, snapping Kallen's attention, wondering who this person is using the group's frequency.
"Who is this?" Kallen demanded as she looks for an exit route. "And how do you know this code?" Her voice this time was lace with anger and suspicion, even if she was busy dodging several attacks from her pursuers.
The voiced, after hearing her words, chuckled heartedly, annoying her a bit as the voice began to speak again. "My dearest Q1, you haven't yet change, as fiery as I remember, regardless, if you want to win, you're going to have to trusts me and follow my command to the letter"
"Win?" Kallen muttered under her voice, wondering if this man was sane or not, as the very idea of turning the odds at her current situation, and against Britannian Forces no less, seems staggeringly impossible. Also, from the way she spoke, it was, as if, he knew her from somewhere.
Still, as much as she distrusts this man, she doesn't have a lot of options left, so she merely followed the voice. Following the advice of the mysterious voice, she went to the west entrance while constantly dodging the rain of bullets from her pursuers. Lelouch smiled, she was as skillful as he remembers
"Very good Q1, now when you reach the train, jump on top of it and do not worry, I'll cover you." Lelouch opened comms back up "Naoto are you in position?" Lelouch asked as Kallen approached.
"Yeah I'm in position Lelouch with both targets in my sight." Naoto replied as he prepared to fire his knightmare's rifle.
"If my memory serves me right Naoto was not round back in our timeline nor were you any good at piloting Knightmares." CC commented airily from Lelouch's lap causing him to glare at her.
"Yes, that may have been true before but now that is totally different now." Lelouch commented with a smirk.
"Where are we heading to anyway Lelouch?" CC asked Lelouch approach an old warehouse. "You will see," was the only thing Lelouch said as he opened the cockpit.
After both CC and Lelouch got out Naoto came out of the shadows. "Hey there I'm Naoto it is pleasure to meet you CC. Lelouch talked about you very fondly." Naoto said with a bow. "Lelouch Shirley called me and she told me she is pissed at you for not let her in on the plan." Naoto said as he rubbed the back of his head. "Well I was only able to finish CC and yours' Knightmares." Lelouch said as he grab his phone to call Shirley.
CC walked over and saw the white Knightmare that remaindered her of the Portuguese Jesuit Armor CC wore in her past. She walked over and began reading the manual to learn how to operate this knightmare frame.
"Listen Shirley I'm sorry I didn't include you in the plan but since I did not finished your knightmare yet I did want you near the battle." Lelouch yelled into the phone trying to get his point across to Shirley.
"Fine Lulu just be safe and be home by tonight I can't wait to meet CC. I love you Lulu." Shirley said as she hung up.
"Alright now that I brought you here I can return to the battle field. Naoto protect CC until she is ready to pilot the knightmare against the Lancelot." Lelouch said as he walked up to CC. Before she could say anything witty Lelouch catches her lips in a passionate kiss. CC couldn't help but feel happy when they kiss. And like that Lelouch left to return to the battle field.
The radio came to life in Lelouch's Sutherland "You saved me," Kallen mumbled with a grateful tone as she looked around for her savior. That is when Lelouch appeared in his Sutherland. "But how did you get your hands on a Sutherland?" Kallen asked only for him not respond.
That is when Ohgi appear with the group but when she turned back her savior was gone.
"What, where did he go"
"KALLEN," Ohgi, the current leader of the rebel group of her late brother, called as the rest of the members ran towards her. "What the hell was that radio message earlier?" Ohgi asked in a clearly confused tone.
"What, he contacted you too?" Kallen asked in a rather disturbed tone. If he was able to contact her other comrades, then what are the other things this guy is capable of.
"Sure did" With that said the radio began to crackle again.
"Ohgi, Tamaki, good to see you two alive and well." Lelouch said over the radio and took pleasure at hearing them gasped at the fact that 'this mysterious voice' knew their leader and one of his comrades. "I present to you the cargo in the rain over there; they are tools need for your victory. If you want use those to win you must follow my orders." Lelouch ordered as he heard them gasped at the sight of several Sutherlands inside the train.
"Kallen, refill your energy filler, you're going to run decoy. Recharge your energy and in the next ten minutes, I'll give you your next instructions." Lelouch instructed, earning another round of gasped of shocked.
"Okay, who the hell are you and how the did you know?" Kallen asked in a shocked yet angry tone. "And how do you know me?"
"How do I know you?" Lelouch chuckled sadly as he remembered the kiss that she gave him in the hallway. "One day, I'll tell you but for now, we have a battle to win, I suggest we concentrate on that for a while Kallen, Q1." Lelouch exclaimed as he turned off the communication link, leaving a very confused and flustered Kallen.
(Scene Change)
Clovis la Britannia, third prince of the empire and third in line for the throne, sat in his command center, watching the battle in the safe confines of his base with a bored expression with a hint of annoyance as he listen to his tacticians discuss the course of action of smoke out the filthy Elevens that dared irritate him in the middle of the party no less. He was beginning to feel a bit irritated at the fact that it was talking too long to get rid of those worthless insects.
"Remember, I want her capture dead or alive." Clovis muttered and instantly, Bartley assured him it would be done.
"Enemy sighted," One of the soldiers reported.
"Crush it" ordered Clovis and with that it all began again just like before.
Following under Lelouch's orders, Oghi's group easily dominate Clovis' forces. They systematically destroy all Britannian units in the area, but Clovis determined to not be defeated comes up with a plan. He gives the order to break the encirclement protecting him in order to surround the area where the rebels were suspected to be believing that they have a number advantage, but the rebels have retreated to the subways. Kallen then uses her Glasgow's Slash Harken to damage the supports which causes ground underneath Clovis' units to collapse, effectively destroying them and pushes Clovis into a corner.
Knowing that he was being beaten he allowed Lloyd to lunch his new toy.
"Can it win" Clovis asked with fear in his eyes.
"Yes my lord." Lloyd replied with a smile.
(Scene Change)
"I'm ready Lelouch. They will launch the Lancelot soon and we should launch the white queen." CC said through the Comms
"Yes you are right as usual witch." Lelouch replied with a smirk.
"All forces they will be launching a new model which far out classes the Sutherlands. Retreat and hide them for future use. Also save as many people as you can." Lelouch commanded.
"How could we trusts you, we don't even know you?" Tamaki snapped in a very irritated tone.
"You guys followed every command that I gave you, hence you guys trust me unconsciously and I the same, and I asked all of you again, trust me with your lives as I trusted you with mine and I promised I will not disappoint." Lelouch stated with a determine tone.
"Who are you anyway?" Kallen asked as curiously as he heard Ohgi urged his companions to retreat.
"My dear Q1, one day, I will tell you who I'm but for now, youkan call me Zero and I will destroy Britannia." Lelouch said as he remember his vow to god. "Tell your leader Ohgi that I will be in touch and Kallen, treat your mother well, she has her reasons for staying." And with that Lelouch hang up.
(Scene Change)
"Lancelot launch!" As the Lancelot picked off any stragglers it stop when it noticed a Knightmare stand in the middle of the road. It was like it was wait for him,
"Suzaku be care that is not any known knightmare." Lloyd said with a happy tone to see a new knightmare.
"White Queen launch." CC yelled out as it and Lancelot clashed but due it flexibly the Lancelot could not land a blow, CC then activated it special power to freeze the Lancelot controls. And with that CC pulled out leaving the Lancelot beaten.
"You really out did yourself Lelouch. The White Queen worked perfectly." CC said with a smile of enjoyment.
CC took the White Queen to meet up with Naoto back at the school.
Near Clovis' G-1 Base, Lelouch is seen disguised as a Britannian soldier and uses his Geass on a soldier to gain access into the Base. On the other hand, Kallen meets up with Ohgi and the others in a warehouse full of Elevens in order to hide from the military. Ohgi and Kallen discuss about the mysterious voice who was issuing commands and wonders why the person doesn't answer back when they try to reach him. However, they are surprised when the Britannian Military locates their whereabouts and prepares to fire at them. Before the order is given, a ceasefire is made by Clovis saving them from death.
Meanwhile, inside the G-1 Base, it is revealed that Lelouch has made it all the way to Clovis's position and was the one who threatened Clovis to order a ceasefire to all of his forces. Clovis jokingly asks to his masked gunman on what they should do next, mentioning a game of chess. Lelouch on the other hand states that they used to play chess together when they were both young at the Aries Villas. This only puts Clovis into more confusion as only members of the Imperial Family know and have been there. Lelouch, then reveals himself to Clovis as a prince of Britannia, Lelouch VI Britannia.
"Hello brother," Lelouch said with a smirk.
Before Clovis could say anything Lelouch geassed him into wanting join his cause.
Now knowing Clovis would not betray him Lelouch gave him a geass of his own. That is when he heard GG voice in his head again.
"His geass is perfect illusions. Meaning they are real to very one except the geass user. Just so you know that way you can keep to the original story line." And like that GG was gone like the wind.
Lelouch told Clovis what to do and to Lelouch's surprise it work. Now everything was falling into place. "Shall we go now brother" Lelouch asked with a smirk on his face because he was one step closer to his dreams.
(Scene Change)
Lelouch and Clovis had no return to the school's underground base that Lelouch made over the two years. "Hey I'm back and I brought a friend." Lelouch said with a smile happy to be home. And in an instant Shirley was there hugging the life out of him.
"I was so worry Lulu. I don't like being kept out of the loop and how come you built CC knightmare before mine." Shirley asked with a pout on her face.
"I told you Shirley that you had no experience with piloting so it was easier to build hers first. Plus I didn't want you in danger not yet." Lelouch said with concern on his face.
"Hello they klutz" CC said with a smirk as she walked up. "So this is the other consort. She will do and she is pretty." CC said while licking her lips causing Shirley to turn red.
"Why do you have say embarrassing things like that." Shirley said covering her face.
"Hello there," Clovis finally specking up.
"Hi I'm glad Lelouch spared your life. I'm Shirley the Black knight of three." Shirley said with confidence.
"Hi I'm Naoto I didn't care if you were spared but when Lelouch told me he would geass you then I agreed. I'm the Black knight of two." Naoto said with a little edge.
"Let me make myself perfectly clear I will never like you and the only reason you are here is because I don't want Lelouch to have his family's blood on his hand. There is only one person that Lelouch wants kill and that is Charles." CC said with a rare sight of emotion.
"Everyone calm down. Clovis is now part of the team as the Black knight of six. Code name Thorn. Clovis now you are to protect CC with your life do I make myself clear. She is my White Queen and I don't want to see her hurt." Lelouch command showing his Zero side.
"Yes brother I will protect her with my life. Miss CC I am truly sorry for what I did to you in the past and I hope to make up for it now." Clovis said showing his humbleness.
"Now then the next person on the list of people to bring in on the fold is Kallen." Lelouch said with a smirk.
"So what do we do it the time being until Zero reveals himself to the world." Naoto asking wondering when he will be able to see his sister.
"We all go to school." Lelouch said with a smile. This got shocks form everyone.
"Brother I'm supposed to be dead brother how can I go." Clovis asked not wanting to go to school.
"I have the same excuse as he does I just can't walk into school and say hey sis." Naoto said with a confused face.
"I'm too old for school Lelouch," was all the Witch said to him.
"Hey the school time is supposed to be our time Lulu." Shirley said with a pout.
"Listen I have a plan. First the best place to hide someone is in plain sight that is why you CC will be going to school and that also means we can keep up with our plans for the upcoming events. Clovis you are to protect CC so we put a wig on and contacts and no one would be the wiser. Last Naoto you will be the bridge the soon to be Black knights and it will also allow you to see your sister. This is the plan guys and with it we will be one step closer to happiness." Lelouch said with confidence.
Then one by one everybody nodded in agreement.
