"So we're being sent here to kill Lloyd Asplund because that asshat went looking for Suzaku?" an unnamed member of Valkyrie Squadron asked Liliana Vergamon as the two of them kept watch over the area in their Vincents.
"Yep, this place shall be the grave of the Earl of Pudding if he's no good at piloting a Knightmare! Hahahahaha!" Liliana laughed.
Very suddenly, a green projectile slammed into Liliana's Vincent from behind and it was followed by two more shots that forced the pilot to eject before the Knightmare exploded. The unnamed member of Valkyrie Squadron then turned around and saw the Lancelot, armed with the VARIS rifle in one hand. It quickly put the VARIS rifle away and pulled out its two Maser Vibration Swords and sliced through the remaining Vincent before sheathing its MVS blades.
"You just got a can of whoop-ass opened on you, bitches!" Lloyd taunted before leaving. While it wasn't obvious that Lloyd knew what he was doing, he had a perfect rating for the Lancelot in the simulator, which made sense considering that he built the Knightmare Frame himself. Lloyd knew the specs and strengths of his creation, and took advantage of them easily to eliminate foes who were better pilots for lack of a better word.
In the meantime, Suzaku had managed to reach the Narita outskirts and noticed that it was quiet. Too quiet for his liking as it meant that something big was about to happen. Even now, his gut was telling him that the situation was going to head completely south as he went through the town. He made sure to avoid the patrolling Britannian soldiers and managed to reach the foot of the mountainside before noticing that several sentries were patrolling the area. One of them saw him and said, "Hey, isn't that guy Suzaku Kururugi?"
"Yeah, it's him. You think we should bring him in since the Brits threw him out?" the patrolman's partner said.
"Search him and confiscate any weapons you find, then bring him straight to Zero's quarters. Ohgi out." Ohgi transmitted from the command center of the base.
The two patrolling sentries then searched Suzaku and only found a pistol on him. They confiscated it and then brought him inside the base. It took around six minutes to reach Zero's quarters and when they arrived, Kallen was waiting outside and motioned for the sentries to return to their positions outside the base. Once they left, Kallen opened the door and motioned for Suzaku to head inside before she closed the door after herself. Heading in, Suzaku noticed that the room was being occupied by Zero himself and. . .
"Nunnally!" Suzaku shouted as he saw that the Fourth Princess's eyes were wide open instead of closed. The former honorary Britannian also noticed that Jeremiah was also inside the room, sitting in a chair and watching something on a television.
"Ah, good to see you, Suzaku. I take it that you are here to join the Black Knights?" Zero asked as he rose from a small couch that he was sitting in with Nunnally before picking her up and placing her in her wheelchair.
"Yeah. In all honesty, it's my only option now. I got kicked out for snooping into OSI business." Suzaku stated.
"Well, in ten minutes the Black Knights will be performing an operation on Nunnally so that we can attach our experimental 'Leg Braces' to her and then she'll be able to walk again. That being said, it turned out that her blindness was Geass-induced when we captured her and her eyes opened after Jeremiah here used his Geass Canceller on her. You probably know that Euphemia is alive right now since during Operation Fallen Noble I intentionally had her expose her identity, but that was also to troll the Britannians."
'Okay, but what the flying fuck is Geass?' Suzaku thought to himself as he walked with Zero to the medical division before asking, "By the way, I heard that Princess Marrybell and her anti-terrorist squadron, the Glinda Knights, are in Area Eleven now."
"They probably know about this site, so we'll have to abandon it." Zero said before pulling a walkie-talkie out and transmitting, "Patrol 5, status report."
"Boss, we've spotted the Glinda Knights. They're on their way here as we speak." Patrol 5 transmitted.
"Any other hostiles?"
"Several other Knightmares. The pilots are confirmed to be members of the Glaston Knights led by Andreas Darlton. They will enter attacking range within five minutes. Orders?"
"All patrols are to avoid the enemy and escape." Zero said before cutting the transmission and contacting the command center.
"Kyoshiro Tohdoh here, Zero. What's the situation?" Tohdoh transmitted.
"Enemy forces have found our base here. They are confirmed to be the Glaston Knights and the Glinda Knights. Give the order to have all forces delay the Britannian attackers long enough for the medical division to complete their operation and then begin evacuation of the base."
"Understood. Tohdoh out."
Once in the medical section of the base, Jeremiah wheeled Nunnally into an operation room and then everyone except for Zero was asked to leave the room by a pair of doctors. While waiting in a waiting room, a brown-haired young man wearing the uniform of the Black Knights approached Suzaku and said, "So you're Suzaku Kururugi, huh? The name's Naoto Kozuki and I must say that today is just full of surprises."
"Any reason why you're talking to me?"
"Nah, I don't need no freaking' reason to talk to you. I will say that my sister Kallen really doesn't like you, so I would suggest avoiding her unless you HAVE to work with her. On another note, Shinjiro Aragaki wants my help packing the kitchen supplies so I need to get going."
Naoto then left.
