AN: Sorry I wasn't working on this. I was focusing on a My Hero Academia Fanfic. It's going well. Believe me.
Code Geass: Black-Blooded Orphans R2
Stage 8: Lupus Rex
Teiwaz HQ
The Black Fleet arrived at Teiwaz HQ. They needed the Ganymede to be repaired and remodeled to be combat ready again. The mechanics began working. The technology of the Hashmal was being studied by Nina. She worked tirelessly to see if the technology could be applied, thankfully it yielded results. Now the results are being compiled into the Black Knights. Alice had gone back to the Turbines after the rebellion. She watched as the Ganymede was being remodeled.
'Nunnally doesn't quit when it comes to fighting, I'll give her that.' Alice thought.
"Well, if it ain't Alice in Wonderland, thought we never see each other again." Naoto said.
"Oh, it's you again." Alice said, "How's Nunnally?"
"Well, she's in the infirmary, our last battle got a little… Rough." Naoto said, "She pulled through, thankfully."
"Oh thank god." Alice said.
"I know, she made it by the skin of her teeth." Naoto said, "I was almost about to bite my nails off."
"So, where are you off to now?" Alice asked.
"Cambodia, it's a disputed territory, so going in there should have no damaging effects on the political issue at hand now." Naoto said, "Actually, speaking of politics, have you heard about what's going on in Britannia?"
"Yes, I heard. A Military outpost in California just went up in smoke. It's caused the nation to enter a state of paranoia. Some members of the police are beginning to question the military for not taking action against a few attacks that have been caused by Radical Britannians. Some of the public are even demanding that the government explain what's going on about the situation. There is also what happened in China, ever since the revolution, Britannia is beginning to spiral out of control. With the emperor imposing new laws upon the people and even increasing the taxes, some of the Area colonies have become unstable, even the Homeland itself is losing control of itself. Area 18 has been deemed too dangerous for the people considering multiple rebel groups have converged into a giant army." Alice said, "There was also an incident in Area 17 and 15 as well. The EU have launched a massive offensive, the Brits are losing it. They went so far as to deploy an illegal weapon. A Railgun to be exact. As for the homeland, the police and the military are at a standstill by the palace of Pendragon."
"What?" Naoto asked.
Pendragon, Britannia
Knightpolice and Sutherlands along with Gloucesters and Vincent Wards were at a stand off. It was going to a hell basket. No one is pulling the trigger, but no one is negotiating. The police had demanded an explanation for the recent turn of events that followed. The military hasn't even made an announcement as of now. People were protesting against the military's actions, questioning their reason for the things the military has done. VV couldn't believe what was going on down there.
"Damn vermin, keeping the emperor boxed in." VV said.
He went to sort things out with the Knights of the Round. He opened the door to see all but one of them missing.
"My lord!" The Knights said.
"Wait, where's Luciano?" VV asked.
"I'm afraid he's no longer with us." Nonette said.
"Good riddance, he was a fool." Dorothea said.
"Huh, funny, I always hated that guy, he was a crazy dude, I'll give him that." Gino said.
"Enough about the past, why did you bring us out here?" Suzaku asked.
"Isn't it obvious? The empire itself is in a state of total collapse. We need to solve this problem now. We need to do something about this situation. No one is negotiating or firing bullets. If either of those happen, the empire will fall in the long run." VV said, "We need to do something about the situation. The Black Knights have ruined Britannia's reputation as the strongest empire, they must pay for it."
"Yes, but how could we possibly find them, my lord?" Dorothea asked.
"Use your heads and figure it out, I'll be in my chamber." VV said as he walked away.
Ikaruga
The Ganymede was loaded into the Ikaruga. Now it looks different. It now had a tail harken on its back. It also has the Hashmal's wings. The guns were integrated into the forearms as if they were built in. Nunnally got out and looked at the new Ganymede.
'Reborn once again… reborn as a demon once more.' Nunnally thought.
"Like it? It's called Ganymede Lupus Rex!" Rivalz said.
"Rex?" Nunnally asked.
"King in Italian basically." Rivalz said, "Seeing as how we beat your dad's butt, I guess we ought to rub it in."
"Reasonable. I guess I can understand that." Nunnally said.
"Well, get some rest. You two got a date in Cambodia." Rivalz said, "Show them what our little white devil can do."
"Right." Nunnally said.
She turned back to the Ganymede.
'Up into the skies of war, we tear apart with claws of blood.' Nunnally thought.
The Bridge
"Everything is accounted for." Ohgi said.
"Good, launch and head for Cambodia." Zero said.
"Ikaruga, Black Fleet, move out!" Minami said.
The Black Fleet begin leaving Teiwaz HQ. The Fleet began mobilizing for Cambodia, otherwise known as Area 13, disputed land between Britannia and China.
Cambodia
The base commander was being briefed on the situation.
"Yes…. the police you say? … the Black Knights? No, they haven't shown up at all recently….. what? Have the research be sent to the homeland, milord? What of the Dainsleif? Oh…. ok then. We will start once everything is ready." The commander said.
He hung up immediately.
Ikaruga
The Black Fleet was flying above the skies of Cambodia. They were approaching the facility thanks to the Gefjun generators making them undetectable. The Black Knights had a briefing.
"The research base is probably where the Britannians are researching for what Schneizel has told me are illegal weapons. Bombs that can annihilate cities, railguns that fire from long distances that can shatter barriers, even giant mobile fortresses. We must get in there and uncover what is going on." Zero said, "We will send one team to get inside and find the data of what they were researching so we can prep countermeasures. The rest will distract the enemy long enough to let the team inside to get the data. After the data is secure, we will defeat the enemy."
"So that's what we're doing?" Naoto asked.
"Yes, get ready." Zero said, "That is all."
Everyone heads to their posts. Everyone began making preparations for the operation. Lelouch was on the phone with Schneizel.
"So are the preparations on your end ready?" Lelouch asked.
"Yes, everything is ready. I just need you to get whatever you can find in Cambodia and report it to me. I'll handle the rest from there and get on with the rest of your plans." Schneizel said.
"Just stay safe brother." Lelouch said.
"You two brother." Schneizel said.
Lelouch hung up the phone. He went and took a rest.
'If my uncle really hates me, Nunnally and mother, then I'm afraid he won't rest until I'm gone.' Lelouch thought, 'Schneizel, you really have changed.'
The next day…..
Cambodia
The Black Knights deployed and began attacking the base. The Britannians scrambled their forces. The Ganymede Lupus Rex was finally prepared. It was launched and sped off into the battle.
'Let's see what we can do!' Nunnally thought.
She took the large mace out and swung it at a Sutherland. The Ganymede dodged incoming missiles and rushed at an air destroyer.
"Intensify the shields!" The captain said.
"Too late!" An officer said.
The Ganymede swung the mace at the bridge and destroyed the ship. The goes and takes out another ship and another ship.
"What the hell is this?! What's going out there?!" The commander asked.
"It's the Ganymede! It's confirmed to be the Black Knight's White Demon Mistress!" An officer said.
"Nunnally vi Britannia?! Surround her! She must be stopped no matter what!" The commander said, "O Great Emperor, have mercy on our souls….."
In the base, a strike team entered the base began chopping through the Britannians. Sayoko led the team inside. They fought their way into the base's data room. From there they attempt to steal the data. Meanwhile outside, the commander was notified that a strike team was sent to take the data.
"What?!" The commander said.
"We were attacked by a strike team! They must have snuck in through a tunnel!" A soldier said before he got shot.
"Damn! Protect the facility! Send reinforcements to stop the Black Knights from getting that data! Hurry!" The commander said.
The Ganymede cuts through the fleet. Nunnally showed them no mercy. She never intended to show mercy unless they begged for it like they mean to surrender. She makes for the lead ship the rear. Any attempts to shoot the Ganymede down failed. The Ganymede rushed to the bridge of the ship. Its tail harken flies off and struck the bridge before the Ganymede thrust the mace in and fired its pile bunker. The ship exploded as the enemy crumbled. The strike team got the data and are now making their way out for extraction. The enemy began to surrender as the Black Knights went and took the base over. The Ganymede returned to the Ikaruga.
'They surrendered, pathetic.' Nunnally thought.
She got out after she parked the Ganymede. Lelouch was looking at the data of the Britannians latest weapons they were developing. Schneizel was right, there were illegal weapons being developed here. A Railgun that punches through barriers, a giant battle station in the sky, even weapons using Sakuradite gas and liquid Sakuradite. In either form, Sakuradite is dangerous because, in its liquid state, it's highly flammable, it's gaseous state is practically poisonous.
"Looks like we may need to be careful now that the Britannians are making this stuff, destroy the facility." Lelouch said.
Just like that, the base was leveled. It was reduced to rubble. Nothing remained of it. The Black Knights left the area. The Black Fleet heads for Horai Island.
A few weeks later…...
Horai Island
Horai Island was a Japanese man-made island. Thanks to construction efforts and the technology and funding possible, it was the first man-built colony. The Black Fleet docks at the Island's Airship Dock. The island was going to be the new HQ for the Black Knights. On the island were government representatives from different nations that have yet to fall under Britannian invasion. Today was going to be the day where the United Federation of Nations or UFN will be formed. The HQ was being built in Japan. The broadcast was going to be live on TV. Diethard and Milly were in charge.
"Alright, get ready to start broadcasting." Diethard said.
Zero came out on stage.
"Hello, people of the world it is I, Zero!" Zero said as the crowd cheered.
Pendragon
"Alright Kanon, organize everything. It's about time that Britannia will be swept in the flames of reformation. Soon, the aristocracy will be removed from power, the weak will rise up against the strong, and this gilded age of our people that has gone for far too long will wither to nothing." Schneizel said.
"Yes, my lord." Kanon said.
Horai Island
"Today is the day that the United Federation of Nations will be formed. The UFN will be a collection of nations, peoples, and culture that will be banded together to solve the world's problems of racism, war, poverty, discrimination, and even hate, with the United States of Japan as the head of this organization." Zero said, "With humanity united as one, only then will true peace really sweep throughout this world of chaos!"
Pendragon
"You all know why you are here, we as Britannians understand that progress is endless, however, that progress has stumped. We must change as we go about our lives freely. Those who cannot change or those who chose to deny change are no longer needed! My people! Rise up, my people! We must take Britannia back from those who have crushed millions under their foot and take back what is ours! Our destiny! Our unity! Our progress of continued evolution! Our future is ours to make!" Schneizel said, "our future is in our grasp!"
Horai Island
"... under paragraph 17, all military forces in the UFN will be unified and integrated into the Black Knights!" Zero said.
Pendragon
"Rise my people! The future of a new beginning for mankind is upon us! Let us toss aside the masks we were forced to wear by society and rebel against it in the name of the common people! May the soul of the first emperor guide is into victory!" Schneizel said, "Long Live New Britannia!"
"LONG LIVE NEW BRITANNIA!" The revolutionaries said.
Horai Island
"I, Kaguya Sumeragi, Prime Minister of Japan and Supreme Chairwoman of the UFN commands the Black Knights to go into Britannia and end the rule of Vincent Zi Britannia!" Kaguya said.
The crowd cheered.
"Long Live Japan!" Zero said.
"LONG LIVE JAPAN!" the Japanese people said.
'Now to lay down the final blow and close the curtains here and now!' Zero thought.
