"Roger."- Radio/Walkie-Talkie
Sanctuarty of the Geass Order, Chinese Federation, March, 2018.
"This is Hunter Team One. We're in position." a Black Knight transmitted.
"Hunter Team Two is ready. Your call, Zero." Naoto transmitted.
"All personnel, the mission is a go. Eliminate all hostile Geass users and then gather up near the Thought Elevator. Your Knightmare Frames for this operation are unique Sutherlands that have specialized equipment that will single out enemy Geass users, making it easier for us to complete our mission while minimizing civilian casualties. If the Order is any indication as to their goals, their senior members will attempt to intervene. Hunter Team Three, your objective is to eradicate any Geass Order members that you find. Zero out." Zero transmitted before his radio fell silent.
It was relatively easy to find and kill the Geass users that were amongst the civilians due to the specialized equipment that was on the Black Knights' Sutherlands. Furthermore, no enemy Knightmares apart from a few modified Glasgows painted in the colors of the Order were present. All in all, it took only five minutes for the Black Knights to annihilate the Geass Order's members and the Geass users that had been created. Once everyone had gathered at the Thought Elevator, Zero got out of his specialized Sutherland and Rolo exited after him.
"All personnel, watch the entrance of the Thought Elevator for any suspicious activity. I'm going inside with Rolo." Zero transmitted before turning his radio off.
"You sure that we can pull this off?" Rolo asked.
"If we had no chance of winning, then we would not have bothered coming here." Zero answered as the two of them walked in.
Meanwhile in Pendragon, V.V. had finished giving a report to Charles zi Britannia about the Ragnarok Connection. The Emperor said, "Well, all that matters now is to find the last Thought Elevator and then we just need C.C. and we can bring forth a world without lies."
V.V.'s radio suddenly started buzzing and he pulled it up to his right ear and asked, "Jeremiah, what is it?"
"Lord V.V, the Geass Order's been overrun! I was almost captured by the Black Knights!" Jerremiah transmitted.
"What's the status of all of our Geass soldiers?"
"I'm sorry, my lord. The Geass soldiers are all dead. The Black Knights must have had something in their Knightmares to help them single out our trump cards and kill them. Aside from that traitor Rolo, Alice is still alive since she wasn't here at the Sanctuary when the Black Knights attacked."
"Don't worry. We can replace our losses. We'll just have to find a new location."
"I hear you. The enemy was totally focused on destro-" Jeremiah was interrupted by gunfire that V.V. could hear through the radio and then the disgraced Margrave said, "Dammit, I've been exposed! How did-" and then all V.V. heard was static.
"Jeremiah, do you read me? Jeremiah, come in! Jeremiah? Jeremiah!" V.V. shouted as his face threatened to bring tears and then said, "We've lost the Geass Order, brother. The Black Knights found the Sanctuary in the Chinese Federation and captured it."
"Damn it. We'll have no choice but to declare war on the Federation and render it another area just to reclaim the Thought Elevator there. Anyway, Schneizel is beginnning war preparations as we speak, so we might be able to avenge our fallen comrades who died protecting the Sanctuary." the Emperor said.
Meanwhile in the Black Knights base, Jeremiah was bound to a chair by several chains inside a small room and then Tamaki came in holding a power drill in his hands and said, "Bad luck for you, Mr. Margrave! We're here to interrogate you and we can either do this the easy way or the hard way! Come on, you Darwinistic dog, which will it be!?"
Jeremiah thought to himself as he mentally prepared himself for a torture session, 'Fuck, this is going to be a very long day for me.'
