Sorry I haven't updated, school's a pain. Anyway, please read and review
-----------------------
"My fellow members of the UFN, Britannia has refused to seen the error of its ways. We had tried to negotiate with Emperor Lelouch, but we were attacked unjustly. As such I beg you to rally together to fight against Britannia, my country, to save it from this tyrant of an Emperor"
"That's how you motivate the masses" said X.X.
"You did a pretty good job; those fools are nothing but pawns to be used by anybody who's smart enough. Humans are so pathetically short-sighted." said Carmius.
"Don't forget, I get to kill that Lelouch guy. I won't forgive anybody who looks down on me; I'll make him pay for the humiliation I suffered" said Nemo.
"Unfortunately, you won't get that chance; the Mythos have found the Odin" said Carmius.
Odin
"…to save it from this tyrant of an Emperor-
"So it looks like X.X. has rallied public hatred of Britannia, and is using footage of our escape from Japan as propaganda" said Lelouch.
"What's his goal, why's he doing all of this?" asked Shirley.
"I think…-
-"Suzaku, Lelouch; the Mythos have found us" said Nix.

The Mythos were closing in the gap between themselves and the Odin. The lead Mythos took out its gun and fired. The shot was caught in the Blaze Luminous surrounding the Odin, but with the other Mythos closing in, the Odin was forced to run rather than fight them.
"Nix, take us under that cliff" said Suzaku.
The Odin had flown under a cliff jutting out from the land over the sea. The Mythos were close enough to use their swords. One had attacked the Odin, and the Odin spun around. The sword destroyed the Blaze Luminous surrounding the Odin, but had also allowed the Odin to take the offensive. The Odin opened up its portholes and fired two Hadron Blasters at the Mythos, the cliff collapsing on them simultaneously; there was no escape.
"Did that finish them?" asked Jeremiah.
The Mythos appeared shattered and crushed, but then started pulling themselves together, recombining into their original forms, they still had some damage from the Blasters, but were soon regenerating to their prime.
"Shit, they have regenerative capabilities as well as monster-like strength. The Odin's shield systems are down, it won't hold much longer, we have to make a run for it"
"I'll fight them" said Suzaku.
"Suzaku, are you crazy? The Lancelot Albion may be more powerful, but those enemies can't be killed by conventional weapons, we have to run and plan our attack" said Cecile.
"You saw how fast they can move, and the Odin won't be able to fend off another attack. If the Albion can give some cover for you guys to get outta here, then I'll be the one to be the decoy"
"Suza-kun, don't do this-." started Shirley.
-"Let him go" interrupted Lelouch.
"Lulu?"
"I understand Suzaku's idea, and we have no other choice but to believe in him"
"Thank you, Lelouch"
"Just don't die…"
"Like if you'd let me, don't forget about my 'Live' command"
The Lancelot Albion had been deployed and engaged the Mythos. It sliced through the slower and weaker monsters, but their regenerative capabilities soon made the battle difficult for Suzaku. The Albion was slowing down due to Suzaku's fatigue, but the Mythos seemed to have unlimited energy and attacked whenever Suzaku showed an opening. Worse still, the Guren SEITEN had flown and was preparing to finish the job and kill the weakened Suzaku.
The Mark Nemo was battling Shinkiro again while the Thor Sieg fought with the Azura.
Though Lelouch and Jeremiah could handle the others, Suzaku was less fortunate. The Mythos had landed on the ground, and stabbed their swords into the ground, creating a Tetra symbol (Geass symbol with a cross on top of it). A powerful surge of light opened up, and enveloped the Albion. The Guren charged its Radiant Wave Surger, prepping a blast to finish the job.
In Suzaku's Mind
What's going on? Am I dead? Is this the end? Every part of my being is saying to live, but it's impossible. I can't see anything, just fog and emptiness. I guess I'm going to disappear, right here and now. I hope that the others make it…
No! You won't disappear.
Nix had appeared through the mist.
Nix… what do you mean, I'm dead.
You're not dead yet. You're still caught between the chasm between death and life, if you choose so, you could still go on.
Why? Is there any reason for somebody like me to live? I've done terrible things, I'm a horrible person; I want to die.
Do you believe those words?
…
You've changed, ever since re-uniting with Lelouch and the others, your smiles aren't motivated by your past, but by your future. Though you seek atonement through death, you don't want to die.
What could I do now? X.X. has the Mythos and the Black Knights at his control, it's impossible.
No it's not. I've seen battles like these, and I know more than anybody the power of the human will. No matter how small and insignificant a human may seem, their hearts are large and limitless; that's what decides the outcome of war; whoever wants to win more.
You think I should go back?
Yes, your life could mean something; you've got to choose right now: do you want to seek atonement through death and sleep, or do you wan to wake up and live?
I have to choose? What about my Geass Command?
You're near death, Geass Commands are canceled near death.
So you're saying it's my choice?
Yes
I want to see Euphie and tell her how much I love her, I want to see my father and tell him how much I'm sorry; but I can't face them if I just give up and leave my friends behind.-
-I WANT TO LIVE
Real Life
"Now die!" said Carmius.
The Wave Surger fired towards the pillar of light, but was deflected while the pillar was destroyed. The Mythos looked up at the two Knightmares.
"I choose to live!!!" said Suzaku. The red glow around his eyes flickered, and then broke.
"Your pathetic wills mean nothing" The Guren had moved in to grab the Lancelot, but was thrown off by the Slash Harkens.
"You wouldn't understand. People like you will never see the heart behind our actions" The Lancelot had fired a shell from the VARIS and had almost hit the Guren; too close for comfort.
"I don't care what you feel, it will all go away, you'll crumple and die" The Guren fired its rockets.
"I thought like you once before, thinking that wills means nothing. But I was wrong, feelings are real and they won't die, even if the human dies" The Lancelot dodged and retaliated with another VARIS shell.
The Guren activated its shield, but the shell had broken through the shield and damaged the arm which held the Radiant Wave Surger. "Damn. Mythos, attack the White Knight and bring me his head"
The Mythos had risen into the air and drew their swords. "You guys, I can hear the voice of your feelings. This isn't right; so STOP"
The Mythos halted, struggling, but were still.
"What are you idiots doing, KILL HIM!"
The Mythos attacked.
"Mythos, I wish for you to do what your heart tells you to do. I order that on my Tetra ancestors"
The Mythos then spoke "We want to go" They then formed a six sided star, and impaled each other through the chest with their own swords, then exploded as a star was forced out.
"YOU ASSHOLE" The Guren charged but-
"Carmius, we're retreating" said X.X. from the Azura.
"What! I want to kill him" complained Nemo, but was quickly disabled by the Azura, then flew off.
"Till next time" The Guren also retreated.
The next day- Pendragon
"So Suza-kun, you're finally awake" said Cecile.
"What happened?" asked Suzaku.
"You fainted, and then Jeremiah caught you and took you to Pendragon so we could heal your injuries. You've been out for 24 hours"
"Where's everybody, are they okay?"
"Everyone's fine. Lelouch had a few bruises and is with Shirley, Jeremiah is with Sayoko, and Miss C.C. just left a few minutes ago"
"Nix- I mean – C.C., she was here?"
"Yes"
Suzaku started getting out of his bed. He left and saw Nix sitting by herself on the yard outside the building.
"Nix"
"Hello, Suzaku"
"I wanted to thank you"
"For what?"
"For saving my life, I don't what would've happened if you didn't convince me to live on"
"I have no idea what you're talking about"
"But-."
"Now, I know I'm sexy, but you should at least be able to understand the difference between dreams and reality"
"Was it all just a dream then?"
Suzaku walked away. While Nix gave a small smile.
"I'm glad he's alive, but I'm not his girlfriend. You shouldn't assume things G.G."
Onboard the Damocles
"Why did we run away? With the three of us, we could've killed them" said Nemo.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, I've found it" said X.X.
"Hellooo, Nemo just asked you why we didn't just off those losers"
"I've found the ultimate Mythos, the one that sealed. It was released in a seed-like form when that Kururugi boy killed the other Mythos. The last and most powerful of the seven
