Code Geass and Nadesico: The Demon & the Darkness
Chapter Two: The Unknown Visitor
Above the Pacific Ocean- 2017 a.t.b.
It was night time where the full moon and the stars lid up the night skies. But in the skies, five Caerleon-class Floating Battleships, along with seven Gareth Knightmare Frames strapped in Knightmare VTOL Crafts protecting the fleet. They were on their way to Area 11; which is also known as Japan after the conflict going on between the rebellion groups known as the Black Knights, who are lead by a leader named Zero, aiming to take back Japan from Britannia once and for all.
Inside the bridge of the leading Caerleon fleet, the commander of the fleet looks upon the night at the window of the ship in silence when a soldier walks up to him to give him his coffee. "Here you go, sir."
"Thank you." the commander replied as he grabbed his cup and drank it. After that, he began to speak. "How's the fleet?"
"Well, commander, we should be arriving at Area 11 by tomorrow. Everything is in check before we make our arrival." the soldier explained.
"Good. Because we don't want to have the Witch of Britannia, Cornelia li Britannia, yelling at us." the commander explained. "Since after the death of the former vicroy Prince Clovis la Britannia, she has been taking over and she's relentless at going after Zero and the Black Knights."
"I also heard that she has a sister name Princess Euphemia li Britannia." the soldier said.
"Princess Euphemia is a pretty girl but I'll be damned if any man would date her." the commander said. "You know how her sister is to Euphemia. She's overprotected and would do anything brutally if anything happens to Euphemia."
"I see what you mean, sir." the soldier replied.
Just then, the alarms were heard all over the ship as the commander walks up to the bridge where the helmsman look on at the radar, seeing an unknown ship, appearing from where they were heading towards. "What's going on?"
"Sir, I detected an unknown ship in the distance where we're heading towards our destination." he said, still trying to identify the ship.
"Is it the Black Knights?" the commander asked.
"Still trying to identify who it is." the helmsman said.
"Order all units to stand by when my orders are signaled." the commander said as everyone scattered for combat.
In the distance, an unknown portal was opening as the unknown battleship exits out. It took a couple of minutes to exit as the portal disappeared. Now it was making its destination towards the oncoming Britannian Fleet. Inside the ship, at the bridge was piloted by a young girl with long light pink hair, big yellow eyes, and really light skin, wearing something to cover her eyes while using her hands to pilot the ship while her hands has markings that lights up.
"We have an unknown fleet heading our way." the young girl spoke. "They're not in relations to the Martian Successors. Should we engage?"
She flip the screen to another view showing a young man with brown hair, dressed in black with the cape add to and wearing some type of grey visor to cover his eyes. The man was walking in pitch black, walking towards something that is big and is camouflage in the darkness. He uses an elevated machine to get to where he was heading towards. After that, the door to the machine opens as he enters inside by sitting down. The door closes by itself where the screen popped up, showing the girl, who was controlling the battleship.
"Lapis, how many ships we're seeing?" he asked in tonelessly.
The girl uses her hands where they light up once again. She looks up on screen showing the fleet from the distance. She uses the camera to zoom in on the fleet, estimating five Careleon battleships and seven Gareth Knightmare Frames. "There are about five battleships and seven unknown Aestivalis."
"Are they're the remaining the Martian Successors fleet?" he asked.
"No but to tell you the truth, we appeared to boson jumpi—" she was the explaining the situation until the man interrupted her.
"Forget about it. Time to engage." he said.
The man in black was seated in the cockpit, letting his nanomachines boots the original power of his own Aestvallis. The IFS in his hand glowed much brighter than it had when he had first begun his reluctant piloting, in part because of the strong waves of bitterness, anger, and despair sweeping over him for what the Successors did to him by experimenting him during his capture and what they did to his wife, Yurika for using her as a Boson jumping subject.
Lapis was trying to tell him that the fleet they were facing was not the Successors and they were in a different universe. But she knows with his mental state and anger, he didn't want to be bother as she does what she was told to do.
"Lapis, I'm ready when you are." he said, ready for action.
"You are clear to launch." she said.
"Akito Tenkawa." he said. "Black Selena Aestivallis...Launching!"
From there, the black Aestivallis launched from the front of the battleship. With its jet engines, he was going straight for the Britannian Fleet as combat was about to begin.
Back inside the leading battleship, the helmsman looked at the radar, indicating that another target was heading towards the fleet where he alerts the commander. "Sir, the battleship looks it's not alone. Another target is heading in our direction at full speed."
"Quick, get the captain in command of the Gareth Squadron." the commander ordered as the helmsman got in contact the Gareth Squadron's Captain. "Captain, our radar has indicated that another target is heading your way. I believe it could be the Black Knights. I want you take it out."
"Roger that, we're on It." the captain replied via comms
The Gareth Squadron of seven, with VTOL packs connected to the backs of the Knightmare Frames to float in the skies to fight. The unit then move forward as they were heading towards the battleship. But they were heading towards the target that was coming towards them, ready to do battle.
Inside the cockpit of the leading Gareth, the captain led his squad towards the target. But just then, in shock, the target was coming towards them, surprisingly disappear from the radar out of sight. That shocked the captain as he ordered his units to stop the advance.
"Where he go?" he asked to himself, looking around from left to right to see where the target was.
"Sir, the target has disappeared from our radar? The only target we got is the enemy battleship." one of his pilots said via radio.
"Should we just attack the battleship?" another pilot asked.
"Everyone, be on alert." the captain replied. "The target could be around here than just some battleship. It could be an ambush."
Everyone was doing the same thing by looking around to see where the target went. The full moon light up the skies when the clouds were moving by the moon, covering the light. It only took a couple of seconds for the clouds to move out pass the moon where it light up again, but this time, it was going to be worst.
One of the pilots was looking around when he turn to his left and almost got a heart attack when the target appeared right in front of him, and destroyed him by using two powerful cannons that attach over the hands as extensions of the forearms. The other squadron got the attention as they charge to attack the Black Aestvallis.
"Quick, there he is! Attack!" the captain yell as the six Gareth's attack on the enemy.
One of the Gareth use its arm-mounted Hadron Cannons as it fires towards the Aestvallis. But in surprise, the Hadron blast deflected from the armor and deflected back towards the Gareth, destroying it. The other pilots were shock to see what was going on.
"Don't stand around, idiots. Keep fighting it!" the captain yelled at his squad.
Another Gareth tries to sneak attack by using its hip-mounted slash harkens. The Aestvallis responds by snatching one of the Harkens and using by swinging the Gareth in the air, then using its arm cannons by destroying the Gareth in the air for good. The captain was in shock as he squad was being outmatched by just one individual.
The other two Gareth were moving in to attack, but the Aestvallis appeared from behind and use two razor sharp blade swords, cutting the two Gareth in half, destroying them for good. The captain quickly uses his 14-tube missile launchers on both chest and legs mounted on them as he locked on towards the Black Aestvallis.
He pulls the trigger as the missiles launched towards its target. The Aestvallis uses its cannons, destroying every missile that was coming towards it. Akito look towards the captain piloting the Gareth, with his killing eyes. He then charge towards the Gareth as the Captain fires as many weapons it can to take down Akito. But in a couple of seconds, Akito uses its armor pierce blade that was on the right arm, crushing the cockpit and the captain, killing him with blood coming out of the cockpit. He got his arm out of the cockpit, sending the Gareth towards the ocean.
The commander was in shock, seeing the Gareth squadron being decimated by one Aestivalls. No way that any Knightmare Frame can be outmatched by one. One of his men snapped him out of his trance where the commander turns towards his men.
"Sir, we need to fire back at this thing now." one of the men said.
But just then, the Black Selena was charging towards the Caerleon fleet. The commander can only watched to see it come towards him as everything faded to black.
Two Hours Later
Just hours after the battle happened, the pilot that was still alive from the battle was scared out of his wits. He was on board a Britannian Navy Ship, inside his own quarters, hiding in a corner of the room, telling soldiers to keep the lights on every night when it's dark. Outside the quarters, three members, two are woman and one is a man, wearing different type of color cloaks.
The woman with light green hair, with two ponytails, wearing a white type uniform, was the first person to speak. "So he's the only person to be alive?"
"Yes, ma'am." the soldier replied. "When we found him inside the cockpit of his own knightmare frame, he was scared to death as in he saw something that we can't figure it out."
"Was it Zero and the Black Knights?" the pink haired child got in to the conversation. "Did he saw he's identity?"
"He didn't say it was Zero or the Black Knights." the other soldier replied. "He said what he saw was a man dressed in black, wearing some type of visor to cover his eyes."
"What about the Knightmare Frame this man has?" the man with golden hair with little ponytails behind his back then jumped in.
"He said that this Knightmare Frame was so different than any other of ours or the Black Knights." the soldier said.
"Can he try to give us a description of both this person and the Knightmare Frame that he was using during the battle?" the green haired woman asked.
"We can try if we have a chance to get this person to stopped freaking out all the time." the soldier explained, looking back at the survivor. "I see what I can do."
"Good. Keep in touch and I'll send an artist to get that description." the woman said before saluting to the soldiers as they go on their separate ways. The three then move on out of the quarters to the hanger nearby. "Man in black. Whoever this person is, we need to be preparing for him."
"That soldier in his quarters was pretty much scared to death at whoever he saw." Gino Weinberg, the Knight of Three of the Knights of the Round replied. "I mean, if it's not the Black Knights, who could it be?"
"Maybe it's the remaining forces of the Japanese Military." Anya Alstream, the Knight of Six also replied while looking at her camera-phone, showing photos of the soldier.
"Are you kidding me, Anya?" Nonette Enneagram, the Knight of Nine and co-leader look at her with her care freeing tone. "Why did you have to take pictures to that poor soldier? Don't even think about posting that up on Facebook and Twitter when we get back."
"Hey, you always post anything on Twitter every time." Gino said. "I'm surprise that the Britannian military hasn't caught you doing social media.
"What about you, Weinberg." Nonette eyed balling him. "You have always so many girlfriends on your facebook account? Figures why you're such a playboy type to the women."
"Because I'm the good looking person that the ladies would love." he said while winking at the same time. Nonette and Anya could only roll their eyes at him while walking on.
"Speaking of which, have anyone seen both Bismarck and Bradley?" Nonette asked.
"No idea." Gino said. "What I first heard is that the two were ordered on a secret assignment. I try to tell them what kind but you know how the so called Vampire of Britannia said is that everyone and the Knights of the Round were on a need to know basics."
"Well, as long as it's quiet around without him, we don't really need him." Nonette explained. "We better get back to the Tokyo Settlement and report this in. Because I need a break from all this."
Her so call care freeing was all it takes as they hurried to the hangers where their respective Knightmare Frrames were. After that, they left the ship and return back to the Tokyo Settlement
Everything was quiet in the quarters as the soldier was still shivering from the entire trauma he was suffering. Those nightmares would come back to haunt him when the lights turn off which he ordered not to. He yells at any guards during the night shift to turn the lights back on. He would hear footsteps coming where he notice somebody in the darkness, was standing next to the entrance of the cell.
"Please turn the lights back. I'm afraid of the dark." he said, shaking in fear.
"I will." a boy tone spoke. "But first, you know who you saw."
"Of course I know who I said." the man said. "A man in black. I didn't even get his name."
"Did he have a young child with him?" he asked.
"I didn't see a child with him." the man said.
"Then you leave me no choice." the figure had his left eye, glowing red with some marking on it like a demon. "I order you to keep this secret to yourself."
The marking of the red was like a bird, flying towards the soldier's eye, controlling something in his mind. After that, the soldier's eyelids were surrounded by red as he spoke. "Yes, sir. I promise to not tell this to anyone."
After that, the figure left the quarters and walk to the hallways. He grabbed his smart phone out of his pocket and was calling someone on it. "V.V., a couple of the Knights of the Round were here, trying to talk with the soldier about the incident that happens in the Pacific."
"Was he trying to give them an answer to what happened?" V.V.'s voice was heard on the phone.
"The soldier was too frightened to give them enough information." he explained. "I try to tell him if the child was with him during the battle, but he was too afraid to answer my questions from the experience he went through."
"So Akito is here, along with Lapis as well." V.V. said. "They must have boson jump from their universe to ours. Rolo, I want you to return back to Ashford and continue you're investigation on Lelouch and Nunnally. If Akito decides to appear once again, I want you to capture Lapis."
"How about you?" he asked. "I heard that mission in Akito's universe was a success. What kind of plan are you going to do?"
"You're on a need to know basics. Just continue doing your job and I'll contact you when you're needed." V.V. said as Rolo put his phone back and quickly leaves before he was caught.
