A/N: Yay! 2nd chapter! I finally finished it! Thank you to MoonlitxAngel for reviewing!
On with the story:
Zero walked into the room proudly, slightly surprised that the only two occupying it were Lindsey and Designia.
"Hi Zero!" Lindsey waved.
"Do you have everything set up?" Zero asked.
"Yessir!" they saluted.
"Okay..so now can you tell me what it is you had to set up for?" he replied.
"We're going to send a fake Zero sighting to the Government Bureau. After the first Knightmares are destroyed by an ambush, they send more until we have them completely focused on that point. Then we attack through the Knightmare launching docks. We infiltrate the Bureau and shut it down from the inside. Cornelia will have minimal support. We will easily be able capture her."
"I see. But how are you going to send the message to the Bureau? By the time we hacked into their computers they'd have already figured out that someone was trying to access the system." Zero asked.
"I got my hands on a high-ranking Brittanian Military communicator." Designia answered simply.
"Well then, I suppose it'd be best if you send the message yourself. Do that while I check on preparations." Zero walked out of the room, Lindsey in tow. Designia sent a message and followed after them.
"This is your Knightmare? It's an Eighth Generation Frame! Those are nearly impossible to get!" Tamaki yelled.
"It's the Kakura X II. One of the best Knightmares around. I bet I could beat you in your Gurren, Kallen." Designia said proudly.
"Yeah, right." Kallen answered.
"I could. But you're probably too chicken." Designia made a dismissive wave of her hand and started towards the door.
"What?! I am not! How 'bout we fight right now!" Kallen yelled.
"Okay. Let's have a duel. Behind the base." Designia said.
Both of them went behind the rear wall in their Knightmare Frames.
"GO!" Designia yelled.
"You're gonna wish you'd never agreed to this duel!" Kallen yelled as she charged the Kakura.
"Yes. It will be such a waste of fuel." answered Designia, who also charged.
"You little...!"
"See you in the next century." Designia waved from her cockpit, though Kallen couldn't see her, obviously, and then pressed a button. A huge sword arranged itself in the Knightmare's hand. A large ball of white energy formed on it. It suddenly shot of the tip and flew into the Gurren, which was blasted to the ground and rendered defenseless, "I win!" Designia said in a sing-song voice.
"Damn." Kallen cursed as she climbed out of her Knightmare. By now many of the Black Knights had gathered, "What was that thing?" Kallen asked.
"The Electro-Energy-Something-Or-Other. It's a very useful tool. Long range, too. It can also form an electric shield. And it doesn't use too much energy."
"How did you get that thing?"
"Let's just say I.......um...borrowed it from a very rich noble."
"Well, we can surely use it in the battle. Designia, I need to discuss a few matters with you concerning your Knightmare. Come with me." Zero walked back inside the building. Designia followed.
A/N: Well, that's were I'll leave it for now. I hope you enjoyed it! Please review!
