Thanks for the feedback guys, it was helpful. Sorry this chapter took me longer to plan out and write, the other two i had more inspiration for.
Chapter 3: A Rash Decision
It was an especially bright day outside. The sun was shining warmly over the country of Eleven; there wasn't a cloud in the sky. This went unnoticed by the Black Knights because no sunlight reached them in their underground base. The only way they knew whether it was day or night was by looking at the digital clocks that adorned certain walls inside the base.
If they knew it or not however it was morning, and Zero and Lelouch were seated at a table in the Black Knight's meeting hall. The smooth black table was huge, yet only Zero and Light were seated, C.C. was sitting in a corner of the room in a more comfortable chair and Misa was nowhere to be seen.
"The sooner we get this over with the better." Zero muttered into his coffee cup as he passed Light a red folder. Light opened it and pulled out a handful of papers, each had 10 names on them followed by a picture.
"This is a list of all the people who stand in our way, our first step is for you to eliminate them all. Once they're all dead Brittania will be in complete chaos and there will be no one to stop us."
"Sounds simple enough." Light placed his death note on the table but before he could pull his pen out the base started to shake. Papers fell to the floor as Zero tried not to fall out of his seat. However before the ground could stop shaking an explosion hit the base in the room right next to them and both men were thrown across the room.
Dammit! How did they discover our location? Doesn't the term SECRET base imply that we shouldn't be found so easily? Zero groaned as he kicked a chair off his leg.
"Were under attack, code red!" Zero ran to the control panel on the wall and input a code; a red light appeared on the ceiling and started blinking uncontrollably in response. He and Light ran out of the room, avoiding rubble along the way.
Three Hours Earlier
"…Now do you understand L? We cannot allow Zero and his Black Knights to continue terrorizing Brittania! With your knowledge of this Light Yagami and prestige as your world's greatest detective we can restore order!" Suzaku hoped he had convinced L, he wasn't so sure though.
The man known as L didn't even seem to be paying much attention. After waking up Suzaku had tried his best to convince L to join him but L had merely pulled the chocolate ice cream out of Suzaku's fridge and started eating. He didn't look at Suzaku at all, merely continued eating.
Of course L had been listening, he was trying to put the pieces of this puzzle together but it was rather hard when this young man seemed more intent on telling him why Zero was wrong rather than how he had come to this place.
The last thing he remembered he was dying, he was in the middle of a heart attack after realizing that Light had in fact been Kira, and then he ended up here. He had at first come to the conclusion that he was dead but further investigation merely concluded that he must have been pulled into some other world for some purpose. And from this young man's ranting it seemed Light was here too. Perhaps he would have the chance for a rematch with his greatest rival and former best friend?
"Very well," L said putting down the empty ice cream carton. "You should be aware that Light carries a death note, a notebook that allows him to kill someone just by writing their name down in it." Suzaku's eyes grew wide in fear from this knowledge.
"That's….that's unreal! Unbelievable." But these people were from another world entirely, Suzaku thought to himself, if they can be pulled from their world to ours is this really that impossible?
"This changes everything. If they can kill us that easily than the only reason we're still alive is luck, we'll have to attack immediately." Suzaku pulled out his cell phone and started dialing numbers. He'd have to call in a bunch of favors from Lloyd and everyone else that trusted him but maybe they would actually believe him this time.
L watched as Suzaku punched in more numbers and talked to various people, his voice fluctuating depending on the caller. Despite saying he wanted the world's number one detective on his side; Suzaku had made no attempt to convey his plan to L. This somewhat bothered L but he thought it might be best to lay low until he was sure what exactly was going on. A question bothered L as he searched Suzaku's pantries for more sweets.
"Am I led to believe that Light Yagami has no knowledge of me being in this dimension then?" Suzaku looked up from his phone and quickly nodded. Then he must still believe I am dead and no threat to him, L thought as he sat back down (or as close to sitting as L does), for once Light Yagami, the cards are in my favor.
Even if most Brittanians were racist against elevens like Suzaku, Lloyd did have a good deal of connections (which is strange because he's pretty abnormal) and was able to convince some important people that Suzaku had in fact found the Black Knights base. In the higher-ups minds it was a win-win situation, either they defeated the Black Knights or they weren't there at all and that worthless eleven could finally be kicked out. And so the attack commenced.
Current Time
Zero and Light ran down the halls of the building, the base of the Black Knights was complete chaos. People were running every which way all at once, the ground was shaking again and a loud siren could be heard. It did not make for a good environment for the two to think in.
Zero needed to get C.C. and get in his Knightmare so he could lead his army as they held off Brittania but before he could do that he needed to get Light down to the shelter. Light was his secret weapon, whether he liked him or not Zero needed him kept safe.
Zero went down another staircase, Light saw Misa wandering around confused and grabbed her. They continued to head lower and lower into the base until Zero finally stopped at what would normally appear to be an empty hallway. However one of the walls had was a secret exit that had been pulled down as other people were exiting through it.
"Light take Misa and follow this to our other base, I'll meet up with you later after we hold them off." Light merely nodded and headed through the secret entrance into a low tunnel filled with other people trying to escape.
Zero on the other hand started running towards the hanger. However after a flight of stairs he had to stop running and take a breath, reminding himself again why he needed to work out more. He hoped C.C. had followed his orders when he left her outside the meeting room. He sure didn't want to get to the hanger to find she had already taken off without him.
Sorry again its a bit shorter than the other two, that's because I wanted to save the battle for next chapter. Tell me how I'm doing, thanks!
