AN: Sorry, I was too busy doing stuff. Let's continue.
Code Geass: Black-Blooded Orphans R2
Stage 9: The Final Stage Approaches
Ikaruga
The Black Fleet was on its way to Britannian borders. The Black Knights are now the biggest military force assembled against Britannia. The Black Knights were now beginning to invade the homeland from both sides. The Britannians deployed the Damocles. An ongoing rebellion started by Schneizel was underway. Nunnally got her pilot suit on. She looked to the Ganymede.
'Our Final Stage….. it's already drawing near.' Nunnally thought.
She looked back on her journey, from when he and her brother were exiled, from when Japan was invaded, from when Japan was conquered, from when they met Naoto, from when they met everyone at Ashford, from when they first claimed real victory over Britannia, to when they defeated Cornelia in Saitama and Narita, to when they enlisted the JLF into their ranks, from when they defeated the Lancelot over and over, from when they intervened in the SAZ incident, from when they liberated Japan as a new nation, from when they defeated Cornelia, when they went to China and overthrown the Eunuchs, when the Hashmal was defeated, and now, it leads to the final stage. Soon, all war and conflict will end. She looks to the Ganymede.
Flashback
"All right dearly, I'll show you how to pilot the Ganymede." Marianne said.
"Yeah!" Nunnally said while she was jumping around.
"But, you better promise to not get in trouble." Marianne said.
"I promise!" Nunnally said.
"Now you just need to wait until the time comes, alright?" Marianne said.
"Sure!" Nunnally said.
Flashback Over
Pendragon, Britannia
'If I hadn't done it, I'd be scared.' Nunnally thought, 'hell, that operation was long.'
"You've come a long way since." Nemo said.
"Nemo….." Nunnally said.
"Still, you went through with it all. I didn't think we would get here." Nemo said.
"Thank you." Nunnally said, "Guess I feel scared, huh?"
"Scared?" Nemo asked.
"It's just that, I don't know what might happen. I know we made it before, but now….." Nunnally said.
"Hey now, we made it through a lot of times, this will be no different." Nemo said.
"Yeah, I guess you're right!" Nunnally said.
Britannian Homeland
Several parts of the military had joined Schneizel's coup d'etat and have started a huge rebellion in the homeland. Uprisings have been confirmed in several places in the homeland. The Britannian forces were in a state of chaos as numerous reports of the Black Knights invading the homeland became apparent as well.
Ikaruga
"As we already know, Schneizel has declared a coup against the Britannian emperor. With their forces in disarray, we will come in from the west while the rest of the Black Knights come in from the east. This is the final stage we've been looking for! Time to make our last grand appearance a great one as we put Britannia in check!" Lelouch said, "Once we take the homeland, this war shall come to an end!"
Great Britannian Air Fleet
The Great Britannian Air Fleet, the Emperor's personal Fleet, was on its way to the Damocles. The Damocles would act as a fortress in the air that acts as the final line of defense for the homeland. With the Damocles hovering over the ocean, the Black Knights have to push through.
"So let me get this straight, Schneizel begins a coup while the homeland gets besieged on all sides?" VV asked.
"That's right, we expect Zero to attack the Damocles with all of his forces." An officer said.
"And if we were to suppress this rebellion, what would be the outcome?" VV asked.
"We will launch a counterattack to invade Japan and make it ours once again!" The officer said.
"You fool." VV said.
"What?" The officer asked.
VV shot the officer in the head. He shot him with cold eyes.
"Don't kid yourselves. If Zero is alive, then more rebellions will happen. In order to prevent this, we must kill Zero." VV said, "Isn't that right, Cornelia?"
"You're right." Cornelia said as she revealed herself, "He must be put to death first before taking Japan. If he is allowed to live, this war will never end."
"Now, make preparations for the battle to come, we must hurry." VV said.
A few hours later
Pacific Ocean
The Damocles stood in the sky as the Great Britannian Air Fleet stood on their guard. They brought the Knights of the Round with them. The Black Knights had deployed. Both forces were looking at each other, glaring, even. The signal was given and the Black Knights went out to fight their last battle on their Final Stage. The Guren rushed in and fired its Radiant Wave Surger, destroying some Grazes and Vincent Wards in the air.
"Move It!" Kallen said.
The Gekka was soaring through the air. It shot down several Wards.
"Get outta my way!" Naoto said.
The Vincent charged in as it used its Needle Blazer to destroy a Ward.
"You're in the way of our hopes and dreams!" Rolo said.
The Ikaruga and the Black Fleet opened fire with the Dan Longdan as support.
"Keep Going! For the people of Japan, we must push forward!" Ohgi said.
The Zangetsu flew in and slashed many enemies to pieces.
"Out of the way you fools!" Todoh said, "Slash and Encircle!"
"Right!" The Four Holy Swords said.
The Holy Swords slash through their foes. The Ganymede rushed in, bashing every enemy to pieces. The Ganymede zips around and destroys an entire battalion in seconds. A Graze tried to attack from behind, but it was skewered by the tail harken long before that chance came.
Damocles
VV was in the command room of the Damocles fortress.
"Impressive….. now I see why that meddlesome witch seduced my dear little brother. All for this, a pair of children with the intellect and the skill to take me head on. No matter, ready the Dainsleif." VV said.
"But sir-"
"Do it." VV said.
Battlefield
The Black Knights were pushing the enemy back. The Britannians were pulling back, the first line of defense fell. The Black Knights unleashed a barrage of missiles. The storm of missiles unleashed fire and death. The Ganymede flew up high and released red particles from the wings that rained down and decimated foes from above. The Black Knights pressed on. The Britannians send out the Knights of the Round. The Ganymede rushed at the Knights of the Round head on.
"Should we stop her or let her handle this?" Naoto asked.
"They're already dead, they just don't know it yet." Todoh said.
The Florence and the Mordred were firing on the Ganymede. The Ganymede dodged the beams and gunned straight for the Mordred. Anya had no time to react, which resulted in Nunnally decapitating the Mordred with the mace. The Florence tried to get behind the Ganymede. Nunnally reacted by using the tail harken. The harken decapitated the Florence, forcing Monica to eject. Nunnally swung the mace down on the Mordred, mortally wounding Anya. The Mordred plummets. The Tristan charged at the Ganymede.
"YOU BASTARD!" Gino roared.
Just when he thought he had the Ganymede, within seconds, his life ended with blood erupting from his mouth as the Ganymede's gold claws pierced the back. He slumped.
"Anya…. Forgive me….." Gino said at his final breath.
The Ganymede turns to the Palomides and beheads it in seconds. She fired the guns at the Lancelot Club piloted by Nonette.
"This where it ends!" Nonette said.
"Omae wa mo shindeiru." Nunnally said in Japanese.
"What?" Nonette thought.
The tail harken pierced the back, hitting the core. Nonette ejected.
"Nunnally Vi Britannia!" Bismarck howled.
Nunnally turned to the Galahad.
"Your Mother was a great warrior, a warrior whose skills were worshipped as the best and first Knightmare Pilot in history, you have done well in proving just how much of a successor you are to her, but I'm afraid your life has to end here." Bismarck said as the stitches on his left eye came off, revealing the eye of Geass which lets him see the future, "Your future ends in death! Your life is in my hands, little one!"
"Have you gone senile? My grave hasn't been dug yet." Nunnally said.
"Such insolence!" Bismarck said as he drew his sword.
The Ganymede and the Galahad fought. They both read each other's moves.
"At 'em girl!" Tamaki said.
"Knock him flat on his ass!" Naoto said.
They were evenly matched. None could see the outcome of the battle. It was a stalemate. The Ganymede rushed at the Gallahad head on.
"Foolish child, have you no honor?!" Bismarck said.
They clashed.
"What makes you think that attack would work?" Bismarck said.
"It did, you just don't know or even seen it yet." Nunnally said.
Right after she had said that, the tail harken skewered Bismarck from behind.
"So….. That attack was a distraction….." Bismarck said as he coughed blood.
"That's right. You could see the future, but unlike yours, I have a 360-degree view of it, I can see the future from every angle other than straight ahead." Nunnally said.
"So you knew my death was coming, you know we would be at an even match, so you-"
"That's right. In the end, you must see the future from every angle. Once you do, the conditions are set and ready for you." Nunnally said, "In other words, one angle of the future can turn the tide of battle. Goodbye, Bismarck."
"Lady Marianne….." Bismarck said as his unit exploded.
Damocles
"The Dainsleif is ready milord." A soldier said.
"Good, have the guns ready along with the Dainsleif team, it is about time we show these pathetic Elevens why they should have never raised the flag of rebellion against us." VV said, "Cornelia, your unit should be ready."
"As you say." Cornelia said as she went to the hanger.
The Battlefield
Grazes outfitted with Dainsleif rail guns were deployed, the metal rods were set inside.
'May steel rain down and crush our foes!' VV thought, "Destroy them in the name of your emperor!"
"Yes, my lord!" The soldiers said as they fired their weapons.
Steel rained towards the Black a Fleet.
"Shields at maximum power! Evasive maneuvers!" Ohgi said.
"Yes sir!" A soldier said.
The Black Fleet tried to evade with their shields at maximum power. The rods penetrated the shields and the ships. The Knightmares were having difficulty trying to evade. The Ikaruga was getting hammered. An explosion occurred on the ship. The Ikaruga was beginning to fall.
"Abandon the ship! All crew abandon the ship! Hurry! We'll head to the Dai Longdan below!" Ohgi said.
The crew of the Ikaruga began evacuating.
"Everyone!" Nunnally said.
"Milly, guys! No!" Rivalz said.
"Ohgi, Minami, Sugiyama!" Naoto said.
"Lord Lelouch and Lady Nunnally's friends!" Jeremiah said.
"Those monsters!" Xingke said.
The Ganymede opens its wings and releases red particles. The particles rip the Dainsleif team to pieces.
"We have to press on, we'll use the Dai Longdan as our secondary HQ." Lelouch said.
"Right!" The Black Knights said.
"VV!" Nunnally said in rage as she charged ahead.
"Little one!" Xingke said.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?" Tamaki asked.
"Nunnally! You're-"
Nunnally roared as she began to tear the enemy apart. She's smashed through every single ship. Not one ship was lucky to survive the carnage. She saw the Damocles just up ahead. Nunnally suddenly got static on her headset.
"Still alive, dear sister?" A familiar voice with a bit of venom said.
The Ganymede was stopped by another enemy Knightmare. It was a 9th Generation! That's impossible! There's no way they would know about the energy wings, unless… Unless there was a spy in Schneizel's forces. It had the Ganymede frame. It was Cornelia! It was in Cornelia's favorite color! Is even bore a sword that is entirely made of Blaze Luminous particles. It was the Vidar. It had an NLS Unit in it.
"You've got quite the nerve to get angry at our uncle after what you, Lelouch, and all those Elevens did to me and the royal family." Cornelia said.
"Cornelia, it doesn't have to be like this, stand aside, this is between me and him after what he did 9 years ago." Nunnally said.
"No. After hurting my pride as the Goddess of Victory, after scarring me for almost a year, disappeared for 8 years and then come back to stab me in the back, after killing all my comrades one by one, after killing Darlton, Guilford, all but one of the Glaston Knights, and even poisoning the entire family into killing our father, despite how much we all hated him for, after poisoning Euphie into believing that stupid ideology that is the mockery of Justice itself, I think that is more important than what happened 9 years ago." Cornelia said, "Someone is going to die here, it's either you, Lelouch, or me."
"I don't want to fight you, now move it!" Nunnally said.
"NO! I WILL HAVE MY VENGEANCE! YOU WILL TASTE MY HATE!" Cornelia said, "ONCE I KILL YOU, I'LL HAVE IT ALL BACK! MY PRIDE, MY SPIRIT, MY OWN SANITY, AND MY TITLE AS GODDESS OF VICTORY WHILE YOU ROT IN HELL!"
"Forget it Nunnally, she won't listen to reason, she'll kill you!" Marianne said.
"Your mother is right, she'll kill you if you don't fight!" Nemo said.
"But…." Nunnally said.
"FIGHT ME YOU COWARD! I'LL USE YOUR HEAD AS A TROPHY!" Cornelia said, "I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU!"
"Sister!" Nunnally said.
"DIE!" Cornelia roared as her eyes go red with blood as she deactivated the NLS Limiter on her Knightmare.
The Vidar charged at the Ganymede.
