Code Geass: Black-Blooded Rebellion R2
Stage 5: The Heart of Justice
The Britannians had launched. Schneizel got in his Bael while Kanon launched in the Reincar, a Knightmare built upon the same frame Schneizel used when he donned the name Montag. It held a huge MVS Sword. The Britannians were ordered to stay in formation and are to simply stay where they are and keep the Black Knights from escaping. The Chinese commenced a huge bombardment on the Black Knights. The Black Knights sent out the Zangetsu, the Vincent, the Shinkiro, the Ganymede, the Guren, the Gekka, the Gusion, the only two Akatsuki's that were flight enabled, the Gawain, the Shen Hu, and the Flauros. The Flauros took to the deck with its new cannons.
'Alrighty then, time to show them what I can do!' Rivalz thought.
The Flauros began to change. It was switching into a quadrupedal machine that was anchored to the deck. The cannon's extend as the huge tanks on the back are plugged into the cannons. Rivalz brought out a targeting scope. He locked onto a cliff above the Chinese forces painted red.
"Tachyon Cannon! Fire!" Rivalz said as he pulled the trigger.
The cannon fired two blue energy bolts. The bolts hit the cliff, causing it to collapse on top of the Britannians. The Chinese forces on the right were buried.
"Sir, should we get in there?" Gino asked.
"Patience men. We need to wait for the right time. Do not break formation, let the Chinese and the Black Knights slug it out." Schneizel said.
"But sir, the Chinese-"
"The Chinese have dozens of people who could replace the fallen." Schneizel said.
'Is it right just to stand and watch this go on while we do nothing?' Gino thought.
'This is odd. It's like he's waiting for something.' Anya thought.
'That's right Schneizel, you want the Eunuchs. You want me to give your men to have a good reason in trusting the Black Knights. With the Knight of Three and Six, however, they might be a wrench in your plan.' Lelouch thought, "Have all ships go into attack position, ready the Hadron Cannons."
"Xianglin, now!" Xingke said.
"Right! For the people!" Xianglin said.
The Chinese Coup Forces surrounded the Chinese forces as the Black Fleet rises up to surround the enemy.
"Sir, I'm going to have to object to this." Gino said, "Why aren't we doing anything?!"
"Gino, may I remind you that you are crossing the line to insubordination. If you insist on taking a force that large, don't expect me to help you." Schneizel warned the blonde.
"But your highness-!"
The Bael puts its blade at the Tristan's mechanical throat.
"Listen well Gino. I knew the consequences when I did not send Kururugi or Rai out into battle last year. If deployed them into battle, they would be on the casualty list right about now. Enough men had died in Area 11, so I'm not sending more to their deaths." Schneizel said.
"NO! I won't stand for this! If you want to be a coward, then be one, I'm ending this!" Gino said as he and the Tristan Wards went into battle.
"Sir Kururugi, apprehended the fool for his insubordination." Schneizel ordered.
"Yes my lord." Suzaku said as he went after Gino with some Vincent Wards.
"Looks like they just won't follow orders now." Todoh said.
"Forget about Suzaku. Focus on the Knight of Three and his forces only." Zero said.
"Right." the Black Knights said.
The Chinese Coup Forces bombard the enemy from the flank of the cliffs. The Black fleet commenced an aerial bombardment of the Chinese forces. The Black Knights went to intercept Gino's forces. The Ganymede went ahead and brought out two maces and charged at the enemy. A Tristan Ward fires on the Ganymede. The Ganymede swung one of its maces down, breaking a wing off the Ward. The Ganymede flipped out its guns and began shooting down another Ward. The Shinkiro activated its Absolute Defense Barrier as the Chinese fired at the Shinkiro. The barrier was being controlled by a series of complex caculating performed by Lelouch. The Shinkiro fired a green prism and a phase transition beam. The beam is scattered, hitting the Chinese forces relentlessly. The Tristan attempts to attack it, only to be stopped by the Lancelot.
"Suzaku, you can't just let this go on! What happened to that 'change from within' idea?!" Gino asked.
"Trust me Gino, I got blood on my hands trying to make it a reality, but if I really want to do that, then the people who use their powers for no good reason have to go. If these power hungry monsters live any longer, I won't tolerate it. So I'm just going to play along until that time and opportunity comes, just like you should be doing!" Suzaku said.
"So you're just gonna let this slide?! What the hell! I thought we had something in common!" Gino said.
"If you won't go back and form a defensive line around the Avalon, I'm afraid you are no use to anyone!" Suzaku said.
The Lancelot and the Tristan clashed.
'That's right Suzaku, if you want to invoke a change from within, get rid of the people who abuse their power and rewrite the rules they made.' Lelouch thought, 'Let nothing get in the way of that, focus on what Euphie would want, even if it kills you!'
"I don't get why the hell you're sticking up for this guy! Do you have any idea about what he has done last year?" Gino asked.
"I know he did some questionable things, but in the long run, they amounted to something good. All good intentions lead to some bad things. I want the world to be a peaceful one like Euphie wanted!" Suzaku said.
The Lancelot and the Tristan clashed blades.
"You think that excuse is gonna be a good reason to stand back and watch as millions get killed?!" Gino said.
"Cut it out! Both of you!" Odysseus said!
"M-my lord?!" Gino and Suzaku asked.
"I don't want to see you fight amongst each other. Can't we at least go back to being allies?" Odysseus asked.
"But my lord-"
"Obey my orders, Gino. Come back and help form a defensive line around the Avalon." Schneizel said.
The Mordred broke off formation.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Rai said.
"The Black Knights must be eliminated." Anya said as she readied the Stark Hadron cannon.
The Club went to get in the way.
"Get out of the way." Anya said.
"Not unless you put that damn thing away!" Rai said.
"They're fighting amongst themselves, now what?" Naoto asked.
"Leave them. Just focus on the enemy." Xingke said.
"Sure, why not." Naoto said.
The Chinese brought out flak cannons. The Black Knights backed away. The Mordred retracted its cannons and knocked the Club back.
"All-Range Barrage, destroying enemy targets." Anya said.
The Mordred lets out its missiles. The missiles hit the Chinese Coup Forces.
"Fallback! Fallback!" Xianglin ordered, "fallback and regroup!"
The Chinese forces began to hammer the Mausoleum. The rocks began falling on top of the Ikaruga.
"Rivalz, get back inside! It's getting too dangerous!" Zero said, "Black Knights, fall back!"
"Right!" The Black Knights replied as they fled back to the Ikaruga.
"See? They're running! We got them on the run!" Gino said.
"Gino, don't-"
"Forget about him, form a defensive line around the Avalon, you too Rai, let them die a fool's death." Schneizel said.
"Yes, your highness." Suzaku said as he withdraws.
"Yes sir." Rai said.
Gino and Anya's forces attacked the Black Knights.
'Seems like he couldn't hold them back much longer…' Lelouch thought, "Ohgi, get me a line to the High Eunuchs, I want to talk to them about something."
"Right away sir!" Ohgi said.
"Minami, you think you can try to get a hold of them?" Ohgi asked.
"I think, why?" Minami asked.
"I think he has an idea." Ohgi said.
Kaguya held Tianzi tightly. The room was being rocked as rocks continued to fall. Tianjin couldn't take it anymore and rushed out. The shields weren't holding out, the ships were kept back at bay by the flak guns.
"Shield generators 4 and 8 are giving out!" An officer said.
'That leaves the deck exposed!' Ohgi thought.
Then Tianzi rushed out onto the deck, only to be fired upon. The Shen Hu activated a defensive shield using its slash harkens. The Black Knights go back inside for a recharge.
"Take the empress, get out of here!" Xingke said as he coughed out blood due to the strain the Shen Hu is having on him.
"Xingke…." Tianzi said.
Bridge
Zero made it on the bridge.
"Zero, we managed to get into their frequency," Ohgi said, "are you sure about this?"
"I am." Zero said, "Open a channel."
Deck
The Shen Hu was taking multiple hits.
'Someone….. anyone…. save her!' Xingke thought.
Bridge
"Surrender? Really? After all that was done, you want to surrender?" Zhao Ho inquired.
"So that's a no then? Then I was right about my suspicions. The empress is nothing but a system to you." Zero said.
"That's right. She could be replaced by anyone at anytime." Cheng Zhong, another High Eunuch said.
"And let me guess, you don't care about the people?" Zero asked.
"Oh please, they only breed like insects, they're always more to spare." Gao Hai said.
"That's what all commoners are, they are just insects." Zhao Ho said as he laughed along with the others.
"Well damn. Now what?" Ohgi asked.
"Guess we'll have to go to the next phase of the plan." Zero said.
"What?" Ohgi said.
"I just rallied an entire army by our side, you'll see." Zero said, "Is the Shinkiro ready?"
"Fully charged. Give them hell." Ohgi said.
"I will." Zero said.
Battlefield
The Bombardment was intensified. The Shen Hu was being hit hard.
"Intensity the attack." Zhao Ho said.
The Shinkiro launched and activated its shield barrier. The Chinese continued their bombardment.
"What are you doing?!" Xingke asked.
"Protecting my troops, get back inside. Help is on the way." Zero said.
"What?" Xingke asked.
"That's right, just wait until the big surprise." Zero said.
"Sir, a message from Shanghai, there are street riots….. wait a second… there's been a confirmed report that Japanese forces had just begun appearing out of nowhere!" A soldier said.
"What?!" Zhao Ho said.
Shanghai
Burai began roaming the streets and have begun eliminating the Chinese forces while aiding the Chinese citizens who began to rise up in rebellion. A Gun-Ru was blasted to pieces by a Burai. A Raikou blasted the gates leading to the Federal City Hall. Japanese C6s and soldiers went ahead and secured the area.
Mausoleum
"It's not just Shanghai, there's Burma, Islamabad, Jakarta, Beijing, it's happening every across federation soil!" The soldier said.
Ikaruga
"Alright, get rolling!" Diethard said.
"Hello, my people of the world. As you already know, the Black Knights came and put a stop this wedding. I have come to you to tell you that China has been facing harsh times thanks to the High Eunuchs and their corruption. As Prime Minister, I declare that the United States of Japan is at war with the Chinese Federation's corrupt government! And that I command the Black Knights to put an end to their rule!" Kaguya said, "We are at war with a tyrannical government that has oppressed its people for far too long!"
Pendragon
'What?!' Cornelia thought.
"War?!" Euphie exclaimed.
Ikaruga
"I get it now. This was a setup for an even bigger scheme. You got Japan to intervene to help free my people! You really are as they say you are, a black demon prince who managed to outsmart even God!" Xingke said.
"That's right." Zero said, "I leaked my little conversation with the High Eunuchs. Now they are the villains of this story."
Pendragon
"Should we aid the Chinese your highness?" A Nobleman asked.
"No. This is just Vietnam. We helped South Vietnam while China helped North Vietnam. The war ended in failure. Besides, then we be fighting a war we cannot win." VV said, 'You have changed a lot Lelouch. You really have changed.'
Mausoleum
The Chinese Flak guns were destroyed. There was a Gekka with an army of Burai and Raikou behind it.
"That unit….. that's-!"
"Long time no see, eh little one?" An old voice said.
"Senba-San!" Nunnally said.
"Sorry I was late, I had other business to attend to." Senba said.
"Wait, I thought you quitted from being a Holy Sword!" Naoto said.
"Well now I know that my place isn't with Japan. Not quite. My place was always with all of you. Sorry Katase won't be joining us. He's busy right now." Senba said.
"You old bastard." Urabe said.
"Good to have you back man!" Asahina said.
"You came back…" Chiba said.
"Well old friend, want to fight side by side for good old times sake?" Todoh asked.
"I will be glad to assist you! Onward warriors of Japan, show them our reborn fighting spirit! Long live Japan!" Senba said.
"Long live Japan!" The men said.
"Banzai!" Senba said.
"BANZAI!" The men said as they charged at the enemy forces.
"Black Knights! It's time we turn the tides!" Zero said.
"KURO BANZAI!" The Black Knights said as they rode out.
"Now they done it!" Gino said.
"NO!" Odysseus said.
"Eh?" Gino said.
"I…. I will not forgive them… not after….. all I heard…. OFF WITH THE EUNUCHS HEADS! KILL THEM ALL!" Odysseus said.
"Did he just snap?!" A Britannian soldier asked.
"You heard your prince, punishment is at hand for those who are corrupt! All Hail Britannia!" Schneizel said.
"ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!" The men said as they attacked the Chinese.
The Ganymede charged ahead and went straight to the bridge of where the Eunuchs were. She rips the top off.
"W-wait! Mercy! Have mercy!" Zhao Ho said.
"You made my brother cry. I don't like it when he cries. Oh well, I'm sorry, nothing personal." Nunnally said.
"No wait- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Zhao Ho said as the bridge was demolished from a strike of the Ganymede's mace.
'No one makes any of my family members cry and lives to mock it.' Nunnally thought, 'Guess I got my mace dirty again.'
"What the hell my lord! What the hell is this?!" Gino questioned.
"This is the beginning of a new Black Rebellion." Schneizel said.
"A new Black Rebellion?" Gino muttered.
"Soon, this world will be cleaved in two. World order that had been stagnant will soon fall to the black flames of rebellion. Britannia's progress will be undone, The corrupt will be burnt along with the corruption that requires us to purify Britannia into a country free of the corrupt aristocracy. China will soon be divided into multiple states. The EU will rise anew. Japan will grow into another Britannia, a just one. And standing on the throne of God, Zero will make a new world order." Schneizel said, "Wouldn't a world like that be the best one for Anya? Or perhaps maybe my sisters? Heck, I think Clovis could make whatever painting he wants."
"You demented bastard…. you damn, unethical, insane, unbelievable, monstrous, devious, evil, maniacal, twisted son of a-!"
"Kanon, eliminate him without mercy." Schneizel ordered.
The Reincar got clashed with the Tristan.
"You son of a bitch! You lied to me! To Anya! Even Suzaku and Rai and even your own family! What the hell made you like this?! Answer me!" Gino demanded.
"You see, this world has been in limbo for too long. If I can't change it through diplomacy or gentlemen ways, I'll just use the Black Knights to change this world for me. I will make a just world with Lelouch by my side along with his allies. You must know that Britannia is just a shadow of itself." Schneizel said, "I have worn the mask this world forced me to wear for far too long. It is about time this world faced judgement."
"This is insane… All of it is just insane." Gino said.
"Look Gino, I won't kill you because you are useful in my plans. I stand only for Britannia's people, not its ideologies. Now do as you're ordered. Kanon, stand down." Schneizel said.
"Yes sir." Kanon said as he did as he ordered.
Gino decided to back off as well and went inside the Avalon. In the course of three days, the battle was over and the Britannians left. The Empress Tianzi now had full control of China's government. Japanese forces returned to Japan as the Black Knights volunteered to stay behind and sort out the rest of what was going on. The wedding was ultimately canceled.
Cambodia
VV was looking at a new weapon. The weapon in question was technically illegal in ways that are possible. It was a weapon that uses the Raikou's electromagnetic generator that can fire a giant steel pike as the eye can see. It was a Electromagnetic Railgun that was technically banned because of its inhuman power that could shred any barrier to pieces. Nothing would stop it. It is called Dainsleif.
"So this is the weapon I heard about?" VV asked.
"Yes my liege, the Dainsleif is the greatest weapon we made so far. Nothing can stop it. Once the Damocles is complete, we will eradicate all enemies of Britannia." An officer said.
"Good. It might be useful. You think we can mass produce it?" VV asked.
"Yes sir. It can be done without delay." The officer said.
"Good." VV said.
He whipped out a phone and got on the line with someone.
"Is our little birdie ready to go?" VV asked.
"Yes sir, the bird is ready." Someone on the other line said.
"Good…."
Underground Cave
A gigantic machine in the shape of a bird lied still. An energy filler was put onto its back. It's head opens to reveal a red eye. It's eye glowed. The light faded as its head closed. It was chained up.
"Once the Hashmal is thoroughly under Britannian control, no one will stop us." VV said.
