Authors note: Ok people after a long break I am back and writing again. I was moving so it has been a hellish year for me. Since this is going to be my last free summer before I start college I wanted to finish this story and give whoever decided to read this some closure. It's not over yet mind you…. It is just beginning. Send me a pm to discuss future stories or tell me about your own. I am always up for a good yarn. Strap yourself in and get a snack this chapter will be a long one.

Geri's Chest hurt. He couldn't breathe. Blood flowed from his mouth and nose. He was scared. Then a Gentle hand brushed the side of his face and a familiar voice said,

"Your going to make it, I won't let you die again."

Nearly a year ago (fuck it I can't make up a timeline ep 8)

Geri observed the room around him. Six guards, Elevens by the look of them. Probably JLF… assault rifles, except for the officers who brandished pistols. They are on edge… angry, they hate Britannians. But they wont do anything rash unless provoked. Geri thought this trip would be fun. He was the only guy on the trip. The lake Kawagouchi Hotel was a beautiful place to enjoy good drinks… and beautiful women…. God willing. Now he was a hostage, but it wasn't too bad as long a the hostages don't upset the captors.… so nothing to worry about. Yeah its all going to be fine…. Yeah….

"An ….eleven" Nina whimpered

Fuck.

"We're not elevens, we're Japanese dammit" the guard yelled

"Ok", Geri thought to himself ,"if she apologizes and no one says anything else, Then it will be okay."

"Fine she's sorry okay, no lay off of her" Milly shouted

Fuck.

"How about I take you in the other room and teach you a real lesson" the guard yelled at the frightened girls.

"And how about you take me into the other room and I turn you into my bitch" Geri said. He was all balls and glory in is face. But under the façade he was about to shit himself. Damn Chivalry.

The guard pulled his gun on the student "how about I shoot you right here and now"

"it will be the last thing you do" Geri replied. The guard began to shake with fury.

"How dare you!" he screamed tightening his grip on the handgun. "you're dead you little punk" then without warning the gun went off. Geri's chest began to burn… he had been hit.

Same time Black Knights Mobile base.

The vid screen showed the hostages lined up. Lelouch recognized his classmates. He had to save them. His mind ran through all possible plans to save them. But he did have an inside man… And the Euphenia card. Cornelia was so predictable

Hotel Jacking

Geri may have been shot but he would live. The guard was in far worse shape. Geri's left hand struck the guard's chest at 2500psi, about 4 times the force of a heavy weight boxer's hook. The guards chest collapsed crushing his lungs and heart. He would die very slowly. Geri slumped over and fell to the floor. This all happened in the space of 3 seconds. The remaining guards proceeded to see to their fallen comrade and decide a suitable punishment for the belligerent student. The dying guard rasped one last vengeful phrase…

"Take him to the roof"

Black knights hideout thing

"NO!" Lelouch almost screamed as he looked at the T.V. in horror. Geri's hands were bound behind his back. The JLF soldier nudged him with the butt of his rifle then kicked him off the edge. Lelouch's heart began to sink as Geri fell below the tree line.

Hotel Jacking

Geri was determined not to die. He had been formulating a plan all the way to the top of the roof. His arm was the key. He had a quite unusual arm, it was a "gift" from his year as an infantryman for Britannia. He lost it to an artillery blast, a blast so perfect as to sever his arm just below the shoulder allowing a perfect cybernetic graft by the leading scientist of the field Rakshata Chawla. And from that moment on, his ass belonged to Britannia. An arm for his ass, hardly seemed fair. His arm was capable of intense strength as well as extreme delicacy. A true marvel of science in every way. That said, a fucking rope would be no obstacle. As he fell he positioned him self closer to the side of the building. Once he passed the tree line he broke the ropes and dug his hand into the metal on the building. Pain surged through his body as the artificial flesh and nerves on his arm were shredded by the friction of his hand against the steel. After what seemed like an eternity he stopped. Still hanging on to the building a good 5 stories from the ground. Then He located a nearby window and made his entry.

"well" Geri Thought to himself "now the easy part is out of the way"

In a nearby closet he found a first-aid kit. It had the usual suspects like bandages, but also a welcome surprise, five morphine syrettes. Geri immediately shot him self up with one of the powerful pain relievers and pocketed the remaining four. The fiery relief shot up his arm into his heart, then finally to his head…. The pain was gone now. Geri quickly bandaged up his wounds. He needed to get back to the storage room where the hostages were being held. But he needed a plan…They won't hurt his friends.

The gates of the Hotel,

Lelouch's plan for Cornelia worked all he had to do was get into the facility, save the hostages, and get revenge for Geri…

Inside the Hotel

Geri had killed 3 guards on his way to the storage room, and had stolen their weapons. Now all he had to do is set the charges on the breaker that controlled the lights to the floor. He gave himself another shot of morphine and got to work. He was done faster than he expected, and soon he was at the door of the storage room. The door guard was now furiously flipping the light switch in a vain effort to illuminate the hallway. Geri swept up behind him and strangled him with his belt. The man gurgled for 10 seconds before Geri broke his neck. He carefully set the body down, trying not to make any noise. The door was now clear. Geri hoped the hostages were still on their knees. He would have to shoot fast and go for headshots to avoid collateral damage, in total darkness, high on morphine, after losing a pint of blood… not impossible. He had to succeed.

Geri kicked open the door and took his first target… BOOM… Headshot. Geri's flashlight made him an instant target. The guards began to turn towards him and aim…BOOM another headshot. Too late for another guard. They began firing now but with little accuracy. Besides being shit with their guns they were also unable to see their iron sights. Still two bullets struck Geri's chest. "NO, I have to keep Going" Geri Thought. The morphine helped. He replied with two more headshots, which were then answered with another shot to the arm. He spun in place before falling to the ground, but it was no victory for the two remaining guards who, upon announcing their clips were empty, were attacked by the 20 plus hostages.

Geri's vision began to fade in and out. Soon several armed men and women dressed in black suits showed up and began to move the hostages out of the room. One of the women dressed in black looked at him and leaned in. Geri could see her blue teary eyes, they were oddly familiar. She noticed the syrettes in his hands, and asked if they would help. Geri nodded his head and opened his hand. She took their caps off and plunged both needles into his chest. His eyes widened, and his broken, bloody body relaxed.

"Thank you Kallen" He whispered before releasing what should have been his final breath.

Present Time

Geri did not recognize the room he was in, but that was not his first concern. That dream had been more real than all of the others. They defiantly were not full of shit. He had lost memories and he was determined to recover them at any cost. Lelouch was the key.
