Chapter 7: White Knight
White Knight
Summary – V.V lets the Kaiser loose on the Viceroy's Palace with a single goal; Kill Lelouch and Nunnally vi Britannia. Now facing a deadly threat, Charles orders the evacuation of all Citizens and the immediate deployment of all available military force on Tokyo.

V.V can't wait any longer, the longer Lelouch and Nunnally don't die, the longer Charles will be distracted from the Ragnarok. Using the microchip inside his brain, he activated the holographic screen and makes a transmission to Dr, Carl Marsrin, who is shown in his lab.
"Director, what do you require?" Marsrin asked with a very busy face, he has been working nonstop since V.V ordered him to find immediate improvements. He hopes that V.V will tell him to stop the progress because it starting to stress him to his limit.
"How's the progress Doctor?" V.V decides that if the progress is nearing completion he won't cancel it, but if it doesn't then he'll have to stop it.
"Still nothing."
"Stop the progress, we'll deal with them tomorrow morning, prepare the Kaiser for deployment." he said before cutting the transmission and shutting down the computer. He is confident that if the Kaiser if he operates the Kaiser, his plan will succeed.
-Airfield-
Arriving in the airfield of the underground city, V.V, Carl Marsrin and 5 Deacons entered the Spectre, a Ghost-Class Stealth VTOL built in Area 7 capable of cloaking itself. Upon entering the bridge, V.V sat on the throne in the central area of the bridge with Carl Marsrin and the Deacons near him. He opened the Holoscreen using his mind and sees the Kaiser entering a drop pod before it was closed by a deacon.
"Set our destination to Area 11" V.V said to one of the 5 pilots of the Spectre.
"Yes Director, ETA 4 hours, Opening hatch now."
A hundred yards above the airfield, a massive hatch slowly opens causing the sand to fall towards the area. The Spectre's Float engines shifted from horizontal to vertical position before slowly lifting the VTOL Transport to the air. Once they were above the hatch, it immediately closed.
"Activating Cloak System." the pilot that V.V ordered recently pressed a blue button on his touchscreen computer. In an instant the VTOL seemingly disappeared but actually it just became invisible and its outline can be seen if a person looked close enough.
Area 11, Tokyo Settlement, Viceroys Palace
-Living Room-
8:45 AM, Wednesday
Lelouch along with his family were drinking the tea which was provided by the palace servants, which are mostly females due to Clovis's order. Everyone doesn't know the reason why all servants in the palace are women except for Lelouch, he is clearly aware of his brother being a ladies man ever since he and Nunnally were still at the Aries Villa, he is always seeing him flirting with many servants in there all at once. Clovis hides this attitude from everyone especially their father because he knew that it might cause damage in his status as a Royal or even more worse for flirting with commoners.
The emperor was sitting on a throne looking chair adorned with golden frames and red seat, in his front is the long table facing the Flat screen T.V. reporting a battle in Russia. There were also two long couches in each side of the table, Lelouch, Nunnally, Cornelia, Euphemia, Clovis and Odysseus are on his right while Guinevere, Carine, Schneizel and one of his consorts, Elinor li Britannia are on his left. Lelouch seems uncomfortable because he was forced to sit near his father.
"I have been thinking since night, how did Nunnally regain her sight back?"
"I was also surprised, just after I woke up, Nunnally's eyes was already open, I asked her the same question, but she said that she also doesn't know how." Lelouch lied about the truth.
"Probably a miracle." Clovis suggested
"There are no such things as miracles brother, perhaps there is a scientific explanation for this." Schneizel countered before sipping his tea.
"Listen all that is important is that Nunnally regained her sight back. I don't care if it's a magic or a miracle, now she can see the beautiful world again since she became blind during their last seven years in Japan." Euphemia said and everyone agreed at her speech.
While everyone was talking, Charles was in a deep thought. "How did she do it, it's impossible to escape Geass." he still can't believe that Nunnally managed to overcame the effects of his Geass. He looked at her daughter who is talking with Euphemia "Could it be her willpower?" he speculated.
Lelouch looked at the one of the window and saw his mother who is still wearing that uniform since yesterday. Marianne winked at her son who then winked back before she gets out of his view.
Suddenly a female news reporter announcing a sudden news caught their attention
"Breaking news, the Japan Liberation Front or JLF; attacked a Britannian Military base stationed in Saitama. Reports claimed that there were hundreds of captured JLF soldiers including the leader of the Four Holy Swords; Kyoshiro Todoh."
A picture of Todoh appeared as well as the pictures of the captured Japanese.
"Authorities said that they cannot execute the said terrorist due to him having massive amounts of information about the JLF."
The scene changes, now the battle between the JLF and the Britannian Military are seen. There were many Burai scattered all over the base making numerous hit and run attacks on the enemies defences and forces. While the Britannian army may be outnumbered from 3 to 1, their forces are well equipped. The Sutherlands were equipped with the latest weaponry developed in Area 7, Shockwave Launchers.
This weapon launches a white transparent orb with a speed of 20 m/s. upon collision with an object the projectile will become extremely unstable which will cause it to expand, sending everything flying in pieces within its 10 meter vicinity. The weapons only weakness is that its rate of fire and high recoil, because every time a shot is fired, the weapon overheats for a second forcing the Knightmare pilot to wait for the weapon to cool down and the force required to launch it couldn't be handled easily, which means a tight grip is required to use it properly.
Area 7 didn't made any of these for soldier uses because the last time they tried that was very disastrous; the soldier who is testing it was sent flying back when he fired the Launcher, causing him to violently collide on an unpiloted Sutherland, destroying it and him in the process. The head of the development had already compensated the family of the soldier.
"Oh look the Filthy Elevens are being decimated by those Sutherlands equipped with the Shockwave launchers, I wish I was there so I can slaughter every single one of them." Carine displayed her loved for battle, she wanted to pilot a Knightmare Frame and join the battlefield but her father won't allow her for unknown reasons.
"So Area 7 has invented a new weapon of war, looks like we've turned the tide of the war again." Schneizel said.
Now the Burais are being destroyed by the Britannians they don't stand even a small chance against them. Now they realized that they were not here to rescue their people, they realized that they're here to face their demise.
Just in a minute the JLF forces are annihilated. Not even a single survivor is seen escape the base. This is another huge blow to the JLF.
"Hmmp, the JLF didn't even stand a chance." Guinevere said before drinking her tea
Lelouch thinks about his upcoming plans. Once he has announced to Area 7's current viceroy that he's taking over, he can oversee the projects and developments in there. Then he will use that facility to secretly build an Organization to fight the empire from the inside and outside.
Above the Viceroys Palace
9:00 AM, Wednesday
A thousand meters above the palace, the cloaked spectre soundlessly hovers above the thick white clouds. A long barrel came out underneath it aiming at the Garden in the Viceroys Palace. Its ammunition is not a shell, but a black sphere drop pod containing the Kaiser. In the Bridge, V.V opened a screen which allows him to see what the Kaiser is currently seeing because he operates the Bioweapon. The operator usually uses a computer to direct and give the Kaiser commands but thanks to Microchip he doesn't need those. The Kaiser is designated as K-323 by Marsrin and V.V.
V.V gave the Kaiser its mission, "K-323 we are ready to deploy you to Area 11. You only have one mission." V.V paused signalling one of the pilots to launch the Kaiser after finishing his sentence, "Hunt and Kill Lelouch and Nunnally Vi Britannia, crush everything that stands in your way." he sent their pictures to the Kaiser's eye so it knows who are its targets. Before being launched to the Palace at a great speed.
Area 11, Tokyo Settlement, Viceroys Palace
-Living room-
9:00 AM, Wednesday
"Nunnally."
Everyone was silenced by the emperor's voice. Nunnally turned her head to her father who made a direct eye contact with him. She is curious of what will he ask or say.
"Where are those two people your with yesterday? I haven't seen any of them since morning." Charles questioned his daughter. Of course he knows both C.C and Rai. C.C was with Marianne at the time Lelouch was in her womb. He knew Rai through his brother, V.V; he said that he used his Geass to forget everything as a result of sadness, loneliness and guilt while he was locked at the Thought elevator.
"Um….C.C said that she's at her job while Rai is still in my room sleeping." Nunnally said but this caused Lelouch and Clovis to spit their tea at the table while the others excluding the emperor blushed as they looked at her.
"Nu-Nunnally, you let a stranger sleep with you, are you mad?" Lelouch is furious not only because Rai slept in her room because he thinks that they have done 'it' during the night.
"He's no longer a stranger Lelouch, he told me everything about him, and if any of you are thinking that we 'bedded' each other last night then you're wrong, he slept on the couch." Nunnally said.
"So what did he-" Euphemia was interrupted when the ground violently shakes, sending everyone flying to the walls. The window outside is shattered by a tremendous force letting a cloud of dust inside the living room. It took them a minute to recover from the impact.
"Earthquake!" Euphemia said as she covers her head with her arms.
However to Lelouch, it's not an earthquake. Something struck the ground near them. Something very fast and large enough to deliver that very powerful force. He saw his sister on the floor and placed her back to her wheelchair. After everyone has recovered the door is suddenly opened revealing Rai, Guilford, Darlton and several royal guards of both the emperor and Clovis.
"Your Majesty! Your Highnesses! Are you all alright?" Guilford asked as he and Darlton helped the emperor stand before going to Cornelia and doing the same.
"Nunnally." Rai dashed towards her only to be blocked by Lelouch when he was near her. Looking at his face Rai can see him glaring. He doesn't know why but he knows that he is angry at him for something he did.
"Guilford, what happened, is this a terrorist attack?" Cornelia asked her loyal knight. She speculated that the terrorist attack because the most powerful man in the world is in here; the emperor.
The Witch of Britannia looked directly at the face of her knight, she can see the expressions she never saw before; she can see fear, nervousness and surprise. Guilford moves his head left and right repeatedly which means that her speculation was wrong.
"No your highness, Darlton and I were at the garden when we saw an object crashed to the ground. It was not a bomb or any weapon, but it looks like a container." He pointed his finger at the shattered window. They saw a black sphere like object which was now surrounded by the Royal Guards, Soldiers and Sutherlands.
Everyone went to the window to get a closer view, while those who can't, opens the other windows since they are compressed in one window.
"If it's a container, then what's inside it?" Cornelia said
"Whatever's inside that thing it's big, the container is slightly bigger than those Sutherlands. And if my guess is correct, then whoever was responsible for the attack at the Aries Villa seven years ago is the one who sent it." Lelouch caught the attention of everyone.
"We need to see what's inside that thing." Schneizel stepped in front of everyone "All of you, see if you can open that thing."
"Yes your highness." yelled one of the Knightmare pilots. The Sutherlands and some soldiers moved very close to the sphere to examine if there is a switch to open it.
Suddenly grids appeared on the entire sphere, releasing a thick cloud of steam before falling to the ground as individual pieces. The soldiers immediately moved back due to the extreme temperature of the steam which could burn them just in seconds. The Sutherlands were also surprised but didn't even bothered to back off because they were inside a knightmare, the steam or heat won't cause any harm to them. One of them opened his Factshpere Sensor but he couldn't even see a thing because the steam was hot enough to conceal what's inside even for Thermal vision.
"Damn can't see anything from this steam, but my sensor shows that something-" before he could finish, a huge fist pierced through the chest of his Sutherland and struck him before he can even react and also piercing the back of the Knightmare. The Sutherland exploded moments later, alerting his fellow pilots
"What the-, Private Reginald's Sutherland suddenly exploded!" the pilot near him said in the speaker "Something is-" his Sutherland was suddenly gripped on the head before being dragged. Seconds later his screams of pain along with the tearing of his Knightmare were heard, this struck fear in their hearts. The Royal Family were starting to become anxious about the situation.
One of the knightmare pilots who is more anxious than any of them, aimed his weapon at the location of the container and started firing. "OPEN FIRE! OPEN FIRE!" The others were surprised by this but still fired. The saw sparks appearing on the locations they aimed at, meaning that the target is bulletproof.
Parts of a Sutherland were thrown at them in an amazing speed as a retaliation for their attack which knocked them out of the steam cloud but one of them was left inside. Before the pilot noticed, a hand gripped the Sutherland's waist. The next thing he noticed was that he was somehow launched high on the air. Now he saw what was attacking them; a colossal pale red-eyed mouthless man wearing a very black trench coat before being thrown to the ground in front of the soldiers and Sutherlands at fast speed, destroying his Sutherland and sending a few soldiers flying backwards.
The Kaiser Landed in front of the wreckage with right knee and hand touching the floor causing all soldiers and Sutherlands to lose their balance but immediately got up and started shooting at it. The Kaiser just stood there feeling not even a scratch from the concentrated barrage of bullets it's receiving. It turned its head to the window saw one of his targets; Nunnally vi Britannia who was beside Schneizel. It then turned its body towards the window and starts to run to the window while shaking the ground again and again.
They noticed this and start to panic. Their first response was to run to the door. With the Kaiser quickly approaching they didn't matter anything left behind.
"Move away Nunnally!" Carine pushed Nunnally's wheelchair to the left causing her to fall to the ground. The Kaiser shoulder bashed the wall which makes a very large hole. Upon reaching the door, they heard Nunnally screamed Lelouch's name, turning around they saw Nunnally on the floor near her fallen wheelchair and just in front of the Kaiser
"HELP ME!" Nunnally tried to reach her hand to Lelouch with a cry for help.
"NUNNALLY!" Lelouch screamed as he attempts to run to his sister only to be restrained by both Cornelia and Schneizel who don't want him to meet the same fate Nunnally will now meet. "SCHNEIZEL! CORNELIA! LET ME GO!"
The Kaiser hurled its right fist toward the princess, who closes her eyes and braced herself. But before it can hit her, Rai was just in time to pull her away before grabbing his pistol and shoots the two red eyes of the beast.
It covered its eyes with its hands as it moved back. Using this chance, Rai carried Nunnally but much to Lelouch's relief, he was carrying his sister by holding her legs behind him while she gripped his shoulders with her hands. Upon reaching them, Guilford and Darlton immediately closed the door to slow it down before running towards the long hallway.
"The exit is not far away from here, but we need to hurry because I don't know how long will that thing recover." Cornelia said.
"Its eyes, they're its weak points. Shoot those to slow it down." Rai advised them as they ready their firearms.
Outside the Viceroys Palace
Minutes later, they reached the exit and saw a hundred soldiers, dozens of Sutherlands and tanks, few VTOL Gunships and a G-1 Mobile Base. They walked past a line of foot soldiers moving towards the palace entrance and four Sutherlands; each equipped with a Shockwave Launcher behind them. The rest seems to be escorts for the G-1.
"To all forces." Charles loud voice caught the attention of the all personnel. "I Charles zi Britannia, orders the military in Area 11 to be under my direct command." with that the soldiers saluted him while the Knightmares kneeled with their arms on their chest.
"My orders are the evacuation of all Britannians in this city and the immediate presence of the Area's military here."
"Yes your Majesty!" they yelled
"But your Majesty, what about the Japanese?" Lelouch protested.
"I am not interested in rescuing any of them." this caused Lelouch to glare at his father. "But, if you wanted to, then so be it." Charles said which removed Lelouch's glare from his face. "Jeremiah Gottwald and the Valkyrie Squad, you'll be in the command of Lelouch vi Britannia to rescue the elevens." This shocked everyone but Jeremiah didn't care.
"What! father why are letting him rescue those filthy elevens, it's better for them to die than be rescue so more Britannians can have more space in this city." Carine protested showing her disgust towards the numbers. But she didn't receive any reply from her father, which made her more furious.
"Euphemia, Carine and Nunnally get onboard that APC, it will lead you to safety." the Emperor said before looking at Rai and Darlton "Both of you go with them." Rai and Darlton went with the three "The rest of you come with me." he said before entering the G-1.

Seven shots from the Shockwave Launcher collide with the Kaiser who is shielding itself with its right forearm. The shots could only make the Kaiser gradually slide backward their shockwaves only sent the corpses of the soldiers which was easily slaughtered by it flying, spilling only more blood and guts on the area.
"How much damage do we need to inflict on this thing, the Shockwaves launchers remaining energy is only 5% and we can't see not even a scratch on it." one of the four said as they kept firing until it ran out of energy.
The Kaiser sees this and immediately charged at them. One Sutherland struck it in the head with a stun tonfa only to be crushed by a very powerful Karate chop from the beast. It gripped the head of a Sutherland before digging its feet toward the chest of another Sutherland causing the knightmare to be destroyed. The Kaiser crushed the one it is holding by pushing its body towards the ground, now it makde a knifehand and pierced it chest; severing the pilot's head from his body. It now removed its arm from the knightmare which fell toward the ground. "The military here is well equipped, grab the weapon they were using on you." V.V said. The Kaiser moved to a knightmare wreckage and grabbed the shockwave launcher before examining it. A holographic screen appeared in the barrel, showing a red zero percent energy. "It seems like it ran out of energy, that Sutherland you lastly finished, I'm sure its Yggdrasil Drive is still intact. Recharge that weapon." It walked to the last Sutherland it destroyed and pulled a cable on the Shockwave launcher before attaching it to the energy filler, then another screen appeared with the words 'Transfer energy' and options 'yes' and 'no'. The Kaiser clicked 'yes' before waiting for the weapon to recharge.
Area 11, Tokyo, Camelot Truck
"Lord Apslund, deploy the Lancelot. Tell the pilot his mission is to kill the target." The emperor said on the screen to the Camelot's Leader; Lloyd Apslund.
"Happily your Majesty." He said displaying his cheerful personality at the ruler of the empire before the transmission was ended. He turned around and sees the pilot coming out of the door with his suit.
"Suzaku, the emperor has granted us the permission to deploy the Lancelot on the city and it seems like you'll be facing this thing." Lloyd opened the clicked something on the computer which reveals a live video of the Kaiser; now carrying a Shockwave Launcher destroying and slaughtering both Sutherlands and Soldiers.
Suzaku's eyes widened when he saw the size of that thing; a giant pale human in a black trench coat easily destroying its opponents.
"Lloyd, are you sure the Lancelot can withstand that being in a toe to toe battle?" Suzaku asked Lloyd
"Oh don't worry Kururugi, we still have the materials needed to build another one if it's destroyed."
Suzaku walked to the Lancelot and climbed through its open cockpit "You said it Lloyd." he said before entering and closing the cockpit. "Miss Cecile open the hatch, I'm ready to go."
Cecile Croomy was on the 2nd floor of the truck at her work area when she heard him. "Opening hatch now, be safe Suzaku." when she pushed the button. The hatch horizontally opened revealing the mobilizing Sutherlands on the streets and alleyways.
"Lancelot, moving out." the Lancelot jumped out of the Truck and moves on a clear road to be faster.
While he was dashing on the road, he hears a voice in the communications system "Pilot of the Lancelot, I am Charles zi Britannia, I shall inform you the location of your target." this is undoubtly the voice of the Britannian Emperor.
"Your Majesty may I ask the location of our target?" Suzaku said while focusing his eyes on the road when he narrowly avoided both the passing vehicles and Sutherlands.
"It's at the Viceroys palace engaging the military there." the Emperor said. Charles's G-1 and its escort has already left that area; leaving numerous Sutherlands and VTOL Gunships to guard the entrance.
"You need to hurry; the forces there are being decimated with ease." the transmission was ended.
Outside the Viceroys Palace
PWB
The Kaiser shot a group of unlucky Sutherlands with the weapon it stole, blasting them everywhere. It now turned its attention to the VTOL Gunships who were firing endless rounds of bullets and missiles at it; hoping to bring it down. The Kaiser aimed his weapon and shoots a single projectile. The pilots tried to move away but still they are caught in the blast; sending their VTOLs crashing to the floor. It looks at the wreckage, while a few exploded some remained intact but their pilots are still dead
BOOWM
Its weapon was destroyed by a projectile. Turning around, it saw a single tank with its cannon aimed at the beast. Another shot is fired at the Kaiser but thanks to its reaction time, it grabbed the shell without making it explode. He swung the shell before throwing it back at the tank.
"Imposi-" before the tank commander can even finish, he and his crews vehicle explodes.
"Your weapon is destroyed, find or make a new one." V.V said to the Kaiser.
With that the Kaiser moved to one on the intact VTOLs. He grabbed and threw out the pilot's corpse before digging its right arm on the part of the aircraft where the triggers for its weapons are located. It lifted the hand held weaponized vehicle and activates its weapon systems just by pressing something in there, launching a barrage of both missiles and bullets at the Palace before sprinting out of the area.
Inside the APC
Karine, Darlton, Euphemia, Rai and Nunnally were all silent inside the APC, anxious about the situation in the city there currently in. Their APC was escorted by four Sutherlands.
Outside the APC
The APC and its escorts were moving in an empty highway. Three of the Sutherlands were carrying Assault Rifles while the other one has a bazooka.
"You see anything?" one of the pilots asked his fellow.
"No, not even civilians." replied by the pilot.
"Still, keep your eyes peeled. That thing might attack us any moment before we even noticed it." the Captain said.
Out of nowhere a taxi cab was thrown high in the sky and hit the left side, causing it to roll to the right until it stopped upside down. The Sutherlands looked at the location where it was thrown and saw the Kaiser landed near them.
"Oh shit, open fire!" the three fires their assault rifles but was immediately destroyed by the combined barrage of missiles and bullets from the Kaisers weapon; creating a very dense black smoke.
Before the Kaiser could even notice and react, a rocket was fired by the remaining Sutherland which destroyed his weapon and another rocket was launched which explodes in his face, making him collapse on the floor but still conscious.
"YEAH TAKE THAT ASSHOLE!" yelled the cocky pilot over the speaker before moving beside the downed beast and attaching the hole of his bazooka to the face of the monster and repeatedly shooting it with rockets while yelling the word 'die' in each shot. Unfortunately this will give him a painful demise
Statics has been appearing in the Kaisers vision in each shot. Because of the repeated head trauma, the Microchip inside the brain was destroyed plunging the creature in a berserked state.
Outside Tokyo, Spectre
-Bridge-
A 'Microchip destroyed' sign is shown in the screen where V.V and Marsrin see what the Kaiser sees. Still even if its destroyed they can still see what it sees.
"Oh no the microchip, it's destroyed." Marsrin showed shock in his face because he knows the fail-safe if a Kaiser's microchip is destroyed.
"Then what will happen?" asked V.V
"It can no longer hear your commands and enters a berserked state where it gains more strength but becomes more aggressive, it'll destroy everything in its path."
"Dammit!" V.V slammed his left fist on the chair in anger realizing that the mission has gone horribly wrong.
Inside the APC
The pilot of the APC is dead while its passengers are still alive but injured and still recovering
"Ugh…what happened?" said Euphemia with a bloodied forehead.
However no one answers, they suddenly heard the sound of a knightmare exploding and the pained cries of a person who is being stomped again and again by the large feet of the Kaiser.
Outside the APC
The Kaiser finishes the man by crushing his head with its feet before walking to the toppled APC. It opened the hatch before lifting it up and shaking it repeatedly until someone falls out of it.
Inside the APC
"Everybody hold tight." Darlton said while holding the handle on top of him very tight, he can hear all members of the royal family screaming in fear.
"Nunnally, just don't let go of my hand" Rai said to a screaming Nunnally.
Carine unintentionally let's go of what she's holding and nearly falls outside if she wasn't grabbed by Euphemia while keeping her left hand to the steel handle. After being brought near her she grabs the handle Euphemia's currently holding despite it's only for one person before doing the unthinkable
"Let it go its mine." Carine forced her to let go of the handle and threw her outside. Making the Kaiser drop the vehicle to the ground.
Outside the APC
The Kaiser drops the car before looking at the princess, she is begging for it to spare her while crying in fear. Unfortunately this creature doesn't possess compassion and mercy, instead a thirst for Slaughter.
"EUPHIE!" looking at the APC, Euphemia can see Nunnally scream her name and tries to reach her but with no avail. The Kaiser heaves its arms to the air preparing to crush her. Euphemia, realizing her time has come closes her eyes and remembers all the pleasant things she experienced.
"NOOOOOOO!" Nunnally tearfully screamed.
But just as before the arms were slammed; the Lancelot arrives just in time and activates the Blaze Luminous on its forearms. Euphemia; hearing a sound of bashing, opened her eyes and sees a white Knightmare Frame shielding her.
"Your highness, I'll buy all of you sometime to escape, go Princess Euphemia."
Euphemia dashed towards the down vehicle and helps everybody out of the car. However she angrily told Karine, who is heavily injured when the Kaiser dropped the Vehicle, to help herself.
The Kaiser repeatedly slams its arms at the Lancelot's Blaze Luminous with shear force; each slam takes away 20% of its energy per slam. When it reaches 20%, Suzaku attempted to move backward and grab its Maser Vibration Swords only to be grabbed on the waist by the hands of the Kaiser who jumps high on the air with the Lancelot on its arms. It dives towards a warehouse with Suzaku in its front held on the waist.
Area 11, Tokyo, Saitama Ghetto, Warehouse
They crashed straight to the interior of the empty warehouse. The Kaiser, still holding the Lancelot grabs both feet and swing the knightmare before throwing it towards the ground.
The Lancelot stands up despite its body being heavily deformed, and draws up its Maser Vibration Swords.
"One more hit and the Lancelot's going to blow!" Suzaku said as he looks at the damage report of the Lancelot, 99.32% of the entire body is purely red, only the torso isn't.
The Kaiser charged at him. It attempted to strike the torso with its fist but it was dodged by the Lancelot by jumping to the left and slashing its sword at its arm. But thanks to the multi-proofed Trench Coat of the Kaiser there was no wound, only orange sparks appeared. The Kaiser grabbed the Lancelot's left arm with its own left and attempted to slam it on the floor. Fortunately Suzaku anticipated this, he immediately opened his cockpit and jumped off the knightmare before it managed to hit the ground.
The Lancelot exploded; the force of the explosion sent Suzaku flying towards the concrete wall, hitting his back. He fell to the floor but slowly regained consciousness and feels the ground slowly shaking, looking up he saw the menacing Kaiser walking towards him with tightened fists. Suzaku thought about something, something that he kept as a secret to everyone.
"I should do it now." He thought as he stood up, not even removing his eyes on the Kaiser. "Besides no one will see, except for this thing." He closed his eyes and opened his right palm which becomes bright as it forms a transparent white sphere (similar to a plasma globe) and also a white aura surrounded him, the brightness was enough to dazzle even the Kaiser. Now it looks like a wind is surrounding Suzaku, gently moving his hair.
Outside Tokyo-Spectre
-Bridge-
V.V and Carl Marsrin can't believe what they are seeing. That eleven teenager just created a white sphere in its palm out of nothing.
"Marsrin, what is this?" V.V who is still in the state of surprise and shock asked Carl
"So the millennium long rumours are true, they are true" Carl is still in shock. he couldn't believe his eyes "they're true" He heard this rumour from a fellow immortal who lived for about 2000 years.
"What are you saying, do you know what that thing is?" V.V pointed a finger on Suzaku Kururugi.
"Yes, that boy…. Is a Tenno."
Area 11, Tokyo, Saitama Ghetto, Warehouse
Suzaku opened his eyes, but instead of green, his iris is now white; glowing similarly to the sphere in his hand. The brightness now gone reveals the white sphere.
"Well what are you waiting for, fight me!" Suzaku mocked the beast who then charges at him. Suzaku just calmly stood in there and throws the sphere at the face of the beast, which burns its entire face to the skull and sends it a few meters backwards. The Kaiser slowly stood up, its face still burned but it quickly healed due to its rapid regeneration ability. Suzaku energized his body with the white energy he has in his body and ran towards the Kaiser with an increased speed, agility and dexterity; leaving a straight white thrust behind him. (I don't really know what it's called, but people with super speed, leaves this every time they run eg. Flash, Kid flash, quicksilver etc.)
Suzaku jumped high and punched the Kaisers right face before going down and unleashing a barrage of quick kicks on its knees and hips forcing it to its knees. In an instant Suzaku moved to its back and kicks it, forcing the Kaiser to collapse on the ground. Suzaku grabs and places its legs up under his arms before swing it. Repeatedly swinging it and constantly energising himself, he spins very fast, fast than the naked eye could see. His speed is now 20 cycles/second.
After 10 seconds of non-stop spinning, he lowered his speed and threw the Kaiser on the same concrete wall he was thrown into; only this time it was that his throw was more powerful. The Kaiser collided with the wall face first, which makes a huge crack on the wall but wasn't enough to shatter it to pieces. The Kaiser fell to the ground with its upper body facing Suzaku, whose aura was still there. The Kaisers body slowly glowed red as it heats up, Suzaku knowing it's going to explode dashed towards the wall and dives outside just in time to avoid the explosion that engulfed the entire warehouse in flames.
Suzaku stands up and turns around to the warehouse, that was now consumed by flames. "Good thing no one was there, if there is then the secret about my civilization will be revealed."
Area 11, Tokyo Settlement, Viceroys Palace
-Throne Room-
8:00 AM, Thursday
The Emperor is sitting on the throne of the Palace, those present in the room are the Royal Family, the recently arrived Knights of the Round, Nobles and some military officers. The news media was also there making a live broadcast. They were all waiting for the person who killed the Kaiser.
The attack yesterday claimed the lives of many Britannians and Japanese as well as destruction of a thousand infrastructures on both Cities and Ghettos. Repairs for the building are still undergoing while the Britannian government compensates the families of the dead Britannian soldiers. Thankfully no civilian casualties happened on the Britannian side.
On the elevens hundreds of casualties occurred, even with Lelouch's effort to save them all, some still died. Those who survived will now have to endure more suffering as they lost both their homes and family. Lelouch promised them that he will help them. Lelouch asked some nobles to hire Elevens at their businesses. Those who agreed see this as a solution for the worker shortages while does who didn't just walked away from him.
"Earl Apslund." the emperor said. This caused everyone to look at Lloyd who is with other Earls. "Where is the Lancelot's pilot?" he asked
"Your Majesty, he said that he'll be here shortly after finding the proof that he killed the creature." Lloyd said while fixing his glasses.
Seconds later, a knock was heard. They all turned their attention to the large cedar door as a guard places his eye on the peephole to see who it was.
"He's here, your majesty."
"Let him in." he said. He along with everyone thinks that the pilot is a Britannian, unfortunately they were wrong.
Suzaku walked inside through the red carpet wearing his pilot suit, he can hear the loud gasps from most of the people especially from the nobles, military and even a majority of the Royal Family.
"This can't be!" yelled a duchess.
"The pilot who defeated it is an eleven!" added by a duke.
"that eleven is the chosen pilot for the Lancelot, how disgusting." a Grand Duke who is one of the main supporters of the Purist faction glares at Suzaku. everyone knew that Honorary Britannians are prohibited from piloting any kind of Knightmare frame.
"How outrageous this is, an inferior eleven managed to defeat that beast while our supreme military can't!" a member of the purist faction said
"He did beat the creature" another purist member said which caught the attention of everyone "BY THE HELP OF OUR TECHNOLOGY!" Everyone agreed with him before all of them continued to bad mouth the eleven. It also looks like only Euphemia, Darlton, Nunnally and Rai were grateful to him because if it weren't for him they would have died.
When he reaches the end of the Carpet, he attempted to kneel.
"No need, Suzaku Kururugi." The emperor stopped him, causing him to rise up again. "It's been a long time when I last saw you Kururugi, the last time I saw you was when you were a scared child, but now you're here in front of me as a grown man serving the almighty empire." The emperor took a deep breath before asking a question, "I have heard that you managed to kill that beast, and you also have a proof, show it."
Suzaku grabbed something in his right pocket and showed it to the emperor, it is the half burnt glove of the Kaiser. This caused the people inside the room to murmur.
"SILENCE!" Charles shouted which silences everyone. "I thank you Kururugi, for you did not only killed that beast but also protected three of my children from it." It is clear that the emperor referenced Carine, Euphemia and Nunnally when he looked at them. He returned his sight to Suzaku and stood up straight; allowing him to see every single face of the people inside. "I; the Emperor of the Britannian Empire, Charles zi Britannia Promotes the Honorary Britannian, Suzaku Kururugi as the Knight of Two."
The Emperor's sudden announcement caused shocks not only everyone in the room but also everyone in the Britannian Homeland and its Areas. this event possibly be the first or only time where a Number is promoted to the most powerful and respected group of the Britannian Military.
A/N: Sorry this took so long guys, i am only able to update once a month because i still have no co writer. i can rarely update twice a month. i have worked on this chapter non stop for at least a week so i am expecting multiple reviews. but here's my gift to all of you for both Christmas and the New year.
this chapter provides a sneak peek of the Tenno; A Technologically and Mystically powerful Civilization that is unknown to the human race. I will introduce them at the Upcoming 'Empire of Divinity Arc'. if you think suzaku is the only Tenno that is going to appear in this Arc, your wrong because i could possibly introduce another one in the next chapter
