Code Geass: Black-Blooded Orphans R2
Stage 2: Cornelia's Rage
Pendragon, Britannia
Suzaku Kururugi, the Knight of Seven, a murderer of his own father, no longer bound by the need of redemption of his actions, was called over by Princess Euphemia Li Britannia, the Princess of Peace and the Archangel of Justice, Third Princess of Britannia. She had called Suzaku over to discuss some… Things about what happened last year. He arrived at her residence and knocked on the door. A maid just so happened to open the door.
"You must be the Knight of Seven, I presume?" The maid asked.
"Yes. Suzaku Kururugi." Suzaku said, "Is she available?"
"Yes, I'll tell her that you're here." The maid said.
The maid lets Suzaku in and calls for the Princess. Euphemia got up and went downstairs to see that Suzaku was downstairs. She went back and got changed into a better, more formal outfit, her dress.
"Now if you excuse me, I should be preparing tea," The maid said, "and no funny business between you or the mistress. Her mother will kill you for it if not Lady Cornelia."
Suzaku and Euphie went upstairs to Euphie's room. The two sat down. The maid brought the tea and left it to where the two sat. The maid leaves as Suzaku takes a sip of tea.
"So how has everything been in the Military?" Euphie asked.
"Same as usual. Go out, fight the enemy, get a reward. It's been that since almost a month of me being in the frontlines in the EU front." Suzaku said.
"Well everything here at home is fine, if you minus all that has happened in light of last year I mean." Euphie said.
"It's done. Nothing could be done about it. Several companies went out of business after Japan cutted ties from Britannia upon its independence after the Chinese and the EU decided to sucker punch Britannia." Suzaku said.
"I guess you're right." Euphie said, "Say, Suzaku,"
"Yeah?" Suzaku asked.
"Will there ever be peace in this world? Is it even possible?" Euphie asked.
"I know the world will find peace again. I know it." Suzaku said.
"Mistress? There's a friend of Sir Kururugi. He seems to want to speak to you urgently." Another maid said.
"Wait, how many maids do you have?" Suzaku asked.
"Only 3." Euphemia said, "Let him in then."
The maid let's the friend in, he rushed towards the room Euphie was in and opened the door. It was Rai Hodges, the Knight of Eight. He was Suzaku's close friend. He was panting hard.
"Rai, you look like horse." Suzaku said.
"I know…. I really don't care either…" Rai said as he was panting.
"So what is it?" Euphie asked.
"Your sister, that's…. What…." Rai said.
"Cornelia? What about her?" Euphie asked.
"She-"
Throne Room
"-DID WHAT?!" VV roared.
"That's right your majesty, Cornelia has just trespassed into Japanese Territory. Shall we send the Knight of Nine to intervene?" An officer said.
"No. Let Euphemia handle her. Cornelia would never hurt her. It will stop her. Now go!" VV said.
Pacific Ocean
The Guren fired a Radiant Wave Beam, frying a Vincent Ward. The Zangetsu charged in.
"Shadow Longsword!" Todoh yelled.
He sliced a Graze in half. The Zangetsu reveals two machine guns on its shoulders and fires. The Gekka fires a beam, destroying a Sutherland.
"Is that all you got!?" Naoto said.
The Ganymede brought out two maces and bashed a Graze. The Ganymede flipped out its guns and fired at a Gloucester. The Gloucester was destroyed.
"Where are you Cornelia?" Nunnally wondered.
Rolo charged in the Vincent and activates its Needle Blazer after getting up close to a Ward. The Ward exploded.
"These guys don't give up." Rolo said.
Three Wards came from behind. Rolo activates his Geass, allowing him to freeze anyone caught in a radius depending on the output in suspended animation. However, in doing so, his heart also stops. The Wards stopped, or at least the pilots. The Vincent brings out its two MVSs and puts them together to make a double spear. Rolo attacked the three, destroying them.
"I have to be more careful with it, otherwise I'll go into cardiac arrest." Rolo said to himself.
Cornelia shot down a Burai. Another one came in from the rear. She dodged the incoming fire and fired back, destroying the other Burai. She remembered the hatred she bore for Japan along for her redemption. She remembered what it had done to her, what its people were responsible for, for the damages she had taken from them, but most of all was Zero. Zero left so many emotional scars that she barely had any chance of recovering from. Her need for redemption along with her hate would be her strength, but would also become her undoing.
'I'll show you, I'll show you just who you are dealing with Japan. I'll send you back into that age of complete dominance once again. But first, I'll get rid of the Black Knights.' Cornelia thought.
She saw a red beam tear through a ship. It was the Guren.
'That model again….. The one responsible for everything at Narita, Yokosuka, and even at Tokyo…..' Cornelia thought.
The Ganymede charged at Cornelia head on.
"So it's you again, Nunnally?" Cornelia said.
"Stop this now, Cornelia!" Nunnally said.
The two clashed and backed away, going into a shooting frenzy.
"Why Cornelia? Why is it that you hate Japan so much? What did it do to you?" Nunnally asked.
"Do you take me for a fool? I damn as hell know what it is that makes me hate that god forsaken pile of dirt in the middle of the ocean, and it's you, the Black Knights, even the losses I have had in my life, my pride, my soul, my everything was hurt because of you!" Cornelia said.
"She's right, you did just kill her Knights, her Royal Guard, most of the Glaston Knights, beaten her several times thanks to your brother and now thanks to Schneizel, she has that scar on her face." Marianne said.
"You're not helping the situation." Nunnally said.
"Just stating the facts." Marianne said.
The two clashed again. The Ganymede swung its mace down on the Vincent. The Vincent fires back as the Ganymede fired a slash harken that nicked the shield.
"Cornelia!" Kallen roared as she charged at the Vincent.
The Guren fired its Radiant Wave Surger. The Vincent dodged, leaving the cannon to explode.
"Well if isn't my brother's mistress!" Cornelia said.
The Vincent brought out its double spear and clashed with the Guren.
"Mistress? I'm no mistress, Nelly!" Kallen said.
"You dare bring that name up?! I'll kill you, you hear me, vile witch?! You will pay for poisoning my dear little brother!" Cornelia roared.
"You have no idea how many women your brother has slept with," Kallen said, "and believe me when I say this, I was one of those girls who slept with him."
That sent Cornelia ever closer to the edge. But of course, Naoto overheard it and decided to take his anger out on a Britannian ship.
"You are dead. Right there, where you are, that's where you're going to hell missy. I mean it." Cornelia said.
"Well incest isn't a win I guess." Kallen said.
That made Cornelia furious.
"I WILL MOUNT YOUR HEAD WHERE MY ROYAL GUARDS USED TO BE!" Cornelia roared.
The Ganymede knocks the Vincent away.
"You snuggled with my brother without consent?" Nunnally asked.
"Well it is Japan after all." Kallen said, "Plus, I am captain of the Zero Squad and Q-1 after all."
"No….. you would never- my mother would- no. NO! No you didn't! You couldn't have-!" Nunnally said.
"Oh yes…" Marianne said seductively.
"MOTHER!" Nunnally yelled as her face turned red.
"Mother won't save you at all!" Cornelia roared as she charged.
Rolo managed to get behind Cornelia and activated his Geass. The woman however put on an orange mask. The mask revealed a blue upside down Geass mark that activated a blue sphere that canceled out the red sphere. The Vincent turned around and attacked Rolo.
'It didn't work?!' Rolo thought.
"I knew you'd use that on me. Ever since I finally got my hands on those papers about the Code R Project's research, scientists made a countermeasure for this." Cornelia said, "Your little tricks has no effect on me anymore!"
'My Geass is practically useless! I won't be able to see her movements!' Nunnally thought.
"Surrender, Nunnally. If you do, I promise to leave Japan alone!" Cornelia said.
"Actually, I think you should be the one to surrender." A voice said.
The Gawain flew into battle, firing two hadron beams, destroying any reinforcements heading to back up Cornelia.
"Zero!" Cornelia said.
"You were foolish to think you can take Japan again after you conquered it 8 years ago, only to have it fall to rebellion after 7 long years." Zero said, "Ikaruga! Fire the Hadron Cannons!"
The Ikaruga opened two orange panels that revealed two Hardon Cannons.
"Hadron Cannons, ready to fire!" An officer said.
"Have all units in the Ikaruga's firing range and arc break off! Fire!" Ohgi said.
The Black Knights broke off and exited the Ikaruga's line of fire as the Ikaruga fired two Hadron beams that devastated the Britannian Fleet. Cornelia witnessed as her forces fell apart.
"Again… Not again!" Cornelia said.
"That's enough." A voice said.
"That voice… It's-"
"I, Euphemia Li Britannia, third Princess of the Holy Britannian Empire commands you to stand down at once! Anyone who disobeys will be treated as an enemy and will be eliminated! Stand down now!" Euphie said as the Avalon flew into view.
'Euphie…' Nunnally thought.
'Why must you interfere, Euphie?' Cornelia thought.
"We finally get a break for once." Tamaki said.
The Lancelot and the Club launched. They surrounded Cornelia's Vincent.
"Surrender, you're under arrest for breaking the non-aggression pact. Stand down now your highness." Suzaku said.
"You fools…. All of you!" Cornelia said.
The Lancelot disarmed the Vincent.
"It's over. Give it up." Rai said.
"Suzaku….. Rai…" Nunnally said.
"Sorry, we were late." Rai said.
"We had some trouble." Suzaku said, "We'll see each other again. For now, I got someone to take back if you don't mind."
"You should have been beaten to an inch of your misbegotten lives!" Cornelia roared, "I knew that I shouldn't have taken my anger out on just all of you! The others are the cause! The gutless police, mindless blue bloods and plutocrats, relics of their dismal past, dumbfounded generals, coddling doctors, and cowering leaders of society! And then there's all of you! You sick, pathetic, lousy, good for nothing, inferior, feeble-minded, barbaric Elevens! You should all be sentenced to death! EVERLY LAST ONE OF YOU!"
"Ok, you don't have to roast everyone, now let's go 'princess'." Rai said as the Club and the Lancelot took her away.
"I'LL HAVE MY REVENGE! YOU'LL SEE! I'LL END ALL OF YOU!" Cornelia said, "ZEROOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"And I thought Orange had it bad on us until he changed his ways." Naoto said.
"What? I don't remember all of that." Jeremiah said.
'We got lucky that time. For her to have a device that cancels Geass….. Not to mention I told them all about it.' Lelouch thought.
"... Well in any case, let's go home and have a drink." Sugiyama said.
"Yeah, I'm thirsty for a drink. Hey Rivalz, got any of that Rum left?" Yoshida asked.
"Oh no… I'm not giving you that. Remember the last time I gave you that?" Rivalz said.
"It was an accident." Yoshida said.
"One that I can't afford to happen." Rivalz said, "Not after that whole fist fight and all."
The Black Knights returned and headed back.
Avalon
Lloyd Asplund, leading engineer and scientist of the ASEEC Corps and Cecile Croomy, Lloyd's assistant were in the hanger. Euphemia too was in the hangar bay, waiting for Suzaku and Rai to come back. They did so while bringing the Vincent in as well. The staff managed to open the cockpit and restrained Cornelia.
"Get off of me! All of you!" Cornelia said as she struggled.
"I'm afraid not." Euphemia said.
"Euphie, you're making a big mistake. Now let me go or I'll-"
"No sister. All I wanted is peace between Japan and Britannia, soon it will be Britannia and the world. Once I quell the world's hate for Britannia, I'll bring about Peace. That is what I truly desire." Euphie said, "If you hate Japan and wish to bring misery to the peace it has lived in, then I have no choice but to have you confined to the brig. If you would Suzaku."
"Right." Suzaku said.
"You're making a mistake, I hope you realize that." Cornelia muttered to herself.
She was taken to the brig as the rest of the Britannian Ships fled back to the homeland.
Tokyo Settlement
Kaguya sighed in relief over the results.
"Another crisis averted. Thank you my future husband." Kaguya said.
"Stop calling me that. I only agreed on marrying you because you just wouldn't let go of me anyways. I'll see you back home, Kaguya." Lelouch said.
Ikaruga
Lelouch sighed in relief as he hung up. Naoto was right behind him, bearing a face that would make even the most mightiest of men quiver when it comes to being overprotective. Lelouch knew Naoto was right behind him.
"Let me guess, this is about Kallen isn't it?" Lelouch asked.
"If the next words out of your mouth are suggesting that you legitimately slept with my sister and left a seed in her heart shaped box, you are a dead man walking." Naoto said.
'I know. I know how you feel because a certain someone was touching my sister in her heart shaped box too.' Lelouch thought with regret, "Naoto-"
"GO AHEAD! USE YOUR DAMN GEASS TO NOT MAKE ME SHOOT YOU BECAUSE I'M GOING TO SHOOT YOU ANYWAY YOU BASTARD!" Naoto said.
"Naoto, hear me out, she was kinda crazy. I had to give in at some point." Lelouch said.
"OH I'M SORRY, WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE OTHER GIRLS HUH?! HUH?!" Naoto yelled.
"Look, I know I slept with her, I know, my mom might freak out if she finds out she's going to be a grandma at some point-"
"ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU LEGIT ADMITTED THAT YOU VIOLATED HER HOLY GATE AND FILLED IT WITH YOUR ESSENCE AND YOU'RE SAYING SHE ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?! WHAT KIND OF LYING SCUMBAG WOULD DO THAT?!" Naoto yelled.
Nunnally and Kallen were watching as the brothers were arguing.
"I think you need to tell your brother the truth." Nunnally said.
"Shouldn't you tell him?" Kallen asked.
"If he finds out that me and Naoto did the thing, I'll never hear the end of it." Nunnally said.
"Wha-"
"I'd rather not explain about it here." Nunnally said.
"Wait, I thought you did it with Rolo." Kallen said.
"Well he doesn't know that." Nunnally said.
"What the hell is wrong is with you?" Kallen asked.
"My life is, Kallen. My entire life shows how messed up everything is." Nunnally said.
Minutes of yelling later….
"Just don't do it without protection, got it?" Naoto growled.
"Yes sir." Lelouch said.
Naoto walked away.
'And I thought I was bad.' Lelouch thought.
Pendragon, Britannia
VV heard what had happened.
"Good. Let's proceed with the next phase of the plan. Have our arrangements made with the Chinese Government. Schneizel will have to come back." VV said.
"Yes your majesty." A servant said as he left the room.
'Soon Lelouch, your dreams of crushing Britannia will end in folly. Enjoy the fruits of it while you're at it.' VV thought, 'You will know how it feels to be surrounded on all sides like a cornered fox in a cage without a key.'
