Okay guys, chapter 4. This one is longer than 3 and i like it alot better. I've never done a fight scene before (especially not a mecha fight scene) so sorry if it's not so great. Also apologies if any of the characters were OOC or if i messed up something, i should have rewatched Code Geass before writing this lol. I accidentally forgot to put the authors notes so i had to take it down then put it back up again. Also theres a highlander reference in there, so yeah.....enjoy
Crossover chapter 4
Zero was in luck, not only was C.C. at the hanger, but she had already prepared his personal Knightmare for battle, which was weird since she never did anything relatively helpful. He climbed in without another word; he had no time for niceties. The Knightmare hummed to life under his control. Under his helmet Zero took a deep breath and sent his Knightmare shooting out of the base and into the sky.
Zero and C.C.'s Knightmare flew out of the base and higher into the air. The sky was a calm blue, free of any clouds, however this seemed to be a polar opposite to the battle raging beneath its skies. A battle that could easily be described as a mecha's blood soaked hell.
"Kallen, status report." Zero commanded the visual image of Kallen that had just appeared on his screen.
"Not good Zero, we're hopelessly outnumbered 3 to 1. When they first attacked it was around even and we tried to fight them off, then they called reinforcements. I tried to call a retreat but before we could attempt it they cornered us, what are your orders?"
But before any orders could be given Zero's Knightmare was attacked from below by two of Brittania's. Zero dodged by flying higher and sent a barrage of missiles at both, one went down but the other flew past the smoke and attacked with a light sword.
Zero pulled out his own light sword and blocked the attack; the two giant Knightmares exchanged blows neither giving an inch. Zero's Knightmare was designed much better however and it didn't take him long to outmatch the enemy and drive his weapon deep into the Knightmare's skull. Zero took a moment to assess the enemy and how the rest of his troops were faring.
"Kallen, we need to retreat, focus all our troops on the enemies' weakest spot, in the north-western corner and break through. Then have Ohgi release his smoke bombs, that should be enough of a distraction to-"
But Zero's orders were cut off by an incoming Brittanian Knightmare whose missiles Zero barely managed to avoid. The Brittanian was about to fire again when Kallen's light sword cut him in half.
However before Zero could thank his captain she was ambushed from behind. The spunky pink-haired girl didn't have time to retaliate as she was blasted into a nearby mountain which crumbled under the impact. Kallen's Knightmare would no longer respond to her commands and was easy prey for the mountain debris which buried her underneath.
"Kallen? Kallen? Kallen!" Zero shouted into the visual screen which had gone out after Kallen hit the mountain, but to no avail. Zero had no time to mourn what may have been the end of his first captain when he was under attack himself. He tried to hold them off but he was outnumbered, there was no one left to help him. Two Brittanian's Knightmares grabbed him and held him in place.
"Ah the infamous Zero," Said the visual screen that had popped up with Schneizel's too-pretty-to-be-male face. "We have caught you at last, it seems our little game is over and I am the victor. A good attempt while it lasted but there could be no doubt that a lowly eleven could ever stand up to Brittanian royalty. Sit tight, we'll have you unmasked and in chains momentarily." Schneizel's face disappeared off Zero's screen.
Dammit Dammit Dammit! Zero thought as he slammed his hands down on the console. I miscalculated; I thought I would have more time. I didn't expect them to be so prepared! If only I had given that megalomaniac a map instead of taking him there myself this wouldn't have happened, the Black Knights would be in a safe location and Kallen would be okay! Well at least I still have my Geass if worse comes to worse, Zero smirked.
The visual image of Schneizel now appeared in Suzaku's Knightmare. "Congratulations are in order Knight Suzaku, I'd promote you but since you're already a knight of the round," Schneizel said this rather sarcastically, still confused as to how a mere eleven got such a position.
"Since you're already in that position I can't promote you any higher. I hope you understand but I'll be taking credit for the capture of Zero, though I'm sure to put a good word in for you with your commander." Schneizel meant to end the chat there but a sharp "Wait!" from Suzaku stopped him. Suzaku didn't care about the praise or power that came with it, what he needed was his revenge.
"Sire may I ask what will happen to Zero now? Will he need to be disposed of? May I offer my services?" That gleam of lust once again filled Suzaku's eyes; he hadn't been satisfied before by merely turning in Zero, no this time he wanted to kill him himself. Take a sword and cut off his friggin head, make sure he didn't come back.
Schneizel merely rolled his eyes, "The disposal of Zero is not your concern Knight, remember your place." With that he closed the video screen, he couldn't hear Suzaku's scream of frustration from his Knightmare.
2 Miles Away in an Underground Tunnel
After running with a crowd of people for two miles Light and Misa had finally reached the so called safe house. From the outside it appeared to be an abandoned two story building on the outskirts of a small town. On the inside it was stocked with food and a few beds, the important part however was that underground the building was a parked plane filled with gas and one Knightmare.
However before anyone was going anywhere the escapees had gathered together to form a plan. There weren't that many of them, just some low level rebels that weren't important enough to be allowed a Knightmare, some more prominent people who wouldn't go fight like Diethard and Kaguya, and a few injured.
Diethard was trying to get everyone to shut up for a second when Light and Misa came in. "You two!" Diethard said, pointing his finger at them.
"Why are you? You're not dressed in uniform and you're not one of the few who doesn't, I would know I've made it my business to make sure I know them all." He had made sure to memorize all the higher ups, as the head of information and public relations it was his job.
Oh great, Light thought to himself, Zero didn't seem to mention to his staff who we are and now we look like spies. But Light didn't need to make an excuse as a girlish voice spoke up on his and Misa's behalf.
"Oh Diethard, didn't you know? These are Zero's new guests; he told me all about them last night." Kaguya said with a blush, as if hiding something. She continued with a nod, "Yes Zero told me they had some amazing ability and could be very useful, like a secret weapon. He sure will make a good husband, coming up with plan after plan. "
Secret weapon? This sure doesn't sound like a partnership to me, and what's with the husband bit, is Zero a pedophile? Light decided to keep these thoughts to himself and instead get them to trust him.
"Yes that's correct, my name is Light Yagami, and this is my wife Misa Yagami. Zero recently recruited us because of our 'abilities' but we were unable to get acquainted with the rest of the Black Knights because of the sudden attack."
Kaguya bowed to the two of them. "It's very nice to meet your acquaintance; I am Zero's wife Kaguya Sumeragi." Kaguya heard Diethard cough out a "not yet you're not" to which the small princess stepped on his toes. Misa walked up to Kaguya and gave her a hug, commenting on how adorable she is.
"You can call me Diethard, if you're as important as you sound you may be of some use to Zero but for now I am in charge. "
"No you're not, Zero left me in charge." Kaguya said with a pout.
"Listen little girl I know you think your important but Zero said that-"Kaguya stepped on his toes again.
"Wrong! When Zero is gone Kallen is in charge, then Ohgi, then me, you're only in charge if all four of us are gone." Diethard didn't argue, he decided he'd prefer to keep his toes.
After introductions Kaguya stood herself on top of a couple of crates stacked with food and was about to start talking when something very strange happened. Something no one ever expected would happen. Someone had knocked on the door. The room was deathly quiet as a low level soldier was motioned by Diethard to go up and pulled open the door.
I wasn't sure what those weapons were called so i called them light swords. Anyway i thought I'd leave it with a bit of a cliff hanger.
Next time: What will happen to Zero now that he's been captured?
What happened to the rest of the Black Knights?
What will Suzaku do to get his revenge?
And Who was the mysterious stranger knocking on the door?
