Valkyrie's Flight: The Lost Sagas: Code Geass
The Year is Cosmic Era 109. Ron has befriended a resistance group in Japan, coined Area 11 by the Holy Britannian Empire, and has begin arming them with new Mobile Suits and weapons from the universes he has been to. But Ron has also armed the superpower enemies of Britannia, and driven them the blueprints for the Sutherland he captured, to create a countermeasure against them.
SCVA-01 Luna Santa Maria: over Pendragon, capital of the Holy Britannian Empire
Ron was surprised. The Britannians had finally created a Minotaur-I-Class battlecruiser, named aptly the Minotaur.
Still, Ron was creating new Minotaur-IV-Class battlecruisers, which were far more powerful then the Minotaur-III, with side mounted Gottfried cannons, which were uprated to 300mm, and finally the Centaur-Class, with a huge number of Beam Igelstellungs and 11 Gottfrieds, with the standard one on top of the bridge, two on each wing, two on the sides of the engines, two under the same position as the top mounted ones, two under the bridge and the remaining three on the 'hammerhead' bow section.
The first ship was already under construction, named the Fuji, after the defaced mountain in Japan.
The resistance were wondering how they could use these ships, but Ron knew something they didn't: Lelouch Vi Britannia was alive and building up a force to take down Britannia.
All he had to do was join forces.
Lelouch's anti-Britannia force was called Die Schwartze Ritters, or The Black Knights in German, as Lelouch often spoke in to the Colonel.
The second in command was Jeremiah Gottweld, his mother's former guard.
Ron had a few ideas of how to link up their forces, but it was going to be a bitch to convince Naoto, who had hatched a plan to steal not only a poison gas capsule, but a new Britannian Mobile Suit.
It was a BGNMS-001 Dynames Mass Spec, a Mobile Suit developed from the Dynames that he lost and the F-15C Eagle fighter.
He was impressed, but only to a point.
Ron's Dart could beat the Dynames Mass Spec in both a dogfight and a Mobile Suit battle.
Still, he was impressed by the fact that they could build actual GN drives rather then Taus, although he noticed a few GNXs flying around Los Alamos.
'Guess they were testing out the Tau and actual drives before putting the DMS (Dynames Mass Spec) into production.'
He had seen modified GNXs used by the Knights of the Round, an elite within the Britannian military.
The Knight of Ten used a GN Lance that was stripped down and modified to create a particle lance, like a beam saber that could fire GN beam rounds.
He was intrigued, that was for sure.
The Colonial Fleet could modify the idea for the older GNXIIIs and new GNXIVs.
Still, he needed to bring the Schwartze Ritters, the resistance movements and the Japanese Liberation Front under one umbrella.
Lelouch needed an alias and a way to hide his identity, as Ron intended to make him the leader of the organization, while Ron headed up the Mobile Suit and KMF development and training programs.
He was content with commanding the Mobile Suit forces into battle, but he needed to forge the organization first.
Naoto agreed with that Lelouch, one of the few royals he liked, should lead, as Lelouch beat the shit out of Japan's military commanders in chess, of all things.
"You shouldn't go on the Code-R mission. Kallen would kill me."
"If the Schwartze Ritters help us out-"
"That's going to be a problem. Gottweld's stuck with the Purists, and frankly, he's only got two allies in there."
"What about the rest?"
"Stuck throughout Area 11, and abroad, in order to cause chaos in the Britannian ranks, but most are in Japan."
Ron used Area 11 and Japan interchangeably, as there were two names for the conquered country, and he was used to it.
Naoto chuckled.
"Tamaki's on the op."
"Then pull him out. He'll screw it up. He's a fighter pilot, not a black ops SEAL."
Naoto agreed.
Tamaki was loyal, and meant well, but that didn't mean he was the best choice at anything.
Put him in a ReZEL, Brave or GN Viper and he was like Ron, but put him in a Knightmare or a strike team, everything goes to hell.
"I'll put him on interception. Your GN Vipers can destroy a few Sutherlands."
"One is worth an entire army of Sutherlands. Speaking of which, I've started mass producing Glasgows."
Naoto nodded, knowing Ron's plan.
Glasgows were cheap, and Ron was outfitting them with beam weapons, like beam sabers, pistols and .50 caliber beam Vulcans.
"I want you in one of the Glasgow IIs. They're more then a match for a squadron of Sutherlands and Gloucesters."
"I'll be with Kallen, then. Matchmaking cockbiting bastard."
Ashford Academy: 0600 hours
Lelouch was getting ready for a match with a Britannian noble, and going to talk with Kallen.
And after that, Jeremiah.
Ron had put them in contact, and Jeremiah was putting together an army.
"Colonel, as much as I would like to help, and the fact that this is a very good operation helps you, but-"
"You've got people on the inside, loyal to Marianne, and through he, you. Make Naoto's job easier!" "Then make sure he doesn't get killed! I'll try to less the security around the DMS and Code-R, but you need to make sure he doesn't get killed!"
"We'll meet up in the Shinjuku ghetto, and then we'll see what's inside the damned thing."
"Alright. I've got a chess match to go to."
"Good luck. Bet high."
'German, huh?'
"I'll see you later."
He hopped into Revelz' bike with ease. 'Those nanites are actually helping.'
SCVA-01 Luna Santa Maria: over Tokyo, former capital of Japan, current administration center for Area 11
Two Baikal-Class police cruisers jumped beside the ship, full to the belly with Glasgow IIs.
It was early 2017 ATB, and Ron was ready to arm the resistance with hundreds of KMFs.
Of course, he was also carrying new Burai IIs, which were super-Glasgows, in a way, armed with the same weapons as the Glasgow IIs: all for the JLF. Kallen was their king, or rather, queenpin.
The DMS was a prototype, and even then, it stood no chance against Kallen's new RGM-89 Jegan. "Operation Mikoyan has begun."
92 minutes later
They did it, but they suffered for it.
Naoto was wounded, but he would live and they lost three people.
Still, they had the DMS and Code-R.
Unfortunately, a full squadron of Britannian GNXs were on their asses.
Kallen deployed in her Jegan, firing the 60mm Vulcans and beam rifle.
The GNX was an inferior MS, built for police duties now, and the Jegan was a top of the line MS, built for front line combat. It could take on a Protoss GNXIV and win.
A battle was about to begin, and guess who got caught in the middle?
Lelouch vi Britannia.
After kicking a Britannian noble's ass, they ran into the resistance, and Lelouch was launched into the cockpit of the DMS.
He got out, and landed on a spherical capsule, and activated a release sequence and it started opening. (AN: Course, we know who's in the damned thing)
SCVA-01 Luna Santa Maria: over Tokyo, former capital of Japan, current administration center for Area 11
"Gottweld, my comrades in the resistance have your leader with them. They've confirmed this with me, but-"
"Is Lelouch alive, Colonel?"
"He is, but they're under attack by Britannian GNXs."
"One Jegan is worth thousands of GNXIs!"
"But they also have the DMS. Send in a squadron of ReZELs, and you'll get him back."
Ron smirked.
Gottweld was an idiot, but a loyal one.
And when the time came, the Schwartze Ritters and the resistance groups would be one: the true Order of the Black Knights.
Tokyo Settlement
Lelouch looked at the girl at his feet.
'Poison gas, my unfit ass. But they didn't know.'
Then a new Mobile Suit, a GNXII, attacked the Jegan above him.
The lance confirmed it was Luciano Bradley, the Knight of Ten's Mobile Suit, but Kallen knew how to pilot a Jegan better then he did a GNXII.
The GNXII fired a burst from the GN Lance, but the Jegan took it.
The truck was run off the road, and Lelouch was knocked to the ground with the girl.
Then an Honorary Britannian, a Japanese man who betrayed his country, ran over and put a gun to his head.
But the HB wasn't going to get the chance.
A Japanese man, the same age as Lelouch, put a round into the soldier's head.
"Lelouch!"
Lelouch knew the voice, although it had changed.
Suzaku Kururugi was still alive?
The Jegan landed nearby and fired at Bradley's GNXII, crippling it.
"Damn it! Colonel Pinkerton really does want war!"
"Suzaku, why are you here?"
"I'm Colonel Pinkerton's contact on the ground. I saw everything that Britannia stands for, and frankly, the only thing worth it is death."
Ron had struck twice: once in Pendragon, the second time over in Area 18, in order to confuse the Brits.
And it worked. Suzaku had stolen two weapons: the Z-01 Lancelot, an 8th gen KMF and its' Mobile Suit counterpart, the XBMS-01 Lancelot Gundam.
The DMS was a primitive MS compared to the Lancelot, as it was developed from the GN-001 Gundam Exia and couldn't transform into a fighter.
They would refine it.
But for now the old friends could focus on not getting killed.
They ran to a Raptor with the girl, but a Sutherland blocked their escape.
Thankfully, Lelouch knew how to pilot a Raptor.
He spun up the chainguns, and opened fire.
The Sutherland was destroyed, but a SAM hit the Raptor before it could take off.
"So, you thought you could steal not only a Mobile Suit from us, but the girl? Pitiful."
The Royal Guard had caught up with them, and it wasn't going to end well.
"Kill the Eleven and the student, grab the girl and return to base."
"Yes, My Lord!"
"Shit!"
(As we all know how Lelouch gets his Geass, I'm not going to bother writing the scene, but besides Suzaku being there, and the location, everything's pretty much the same.)
Kallen's RGM-89 Jegan
Kallen had piloted the Jegan twice: on a Mobile Suit training mission over Mars and now.
Ron was one hell of a teacher if she would deal with a Knight of the Round, even a low ranking one.
Then two GNXIIIs, supplied from Colonel Pinkerton, opened fire on the GNXs and Bradley's GNXII. They were in the black and red of the Schwartze Ritters.
"So, Gottweld finally tell you guys to help?"
"Our leader is with the DMS. We're here do get him back."
Then said Mobile Suit started to move.
"Schwartze Ritters, prepare for combat! We fight Britannia today!"
"This is Colonel Pinkerton! Kallen, until Naoto's back on his feet, follow Zero's orders."
"Zero?"
"The leader of the Schwartze Ritters. You know him as Lelouch Lamperouge."
"That slacker?"
"Look, he's done the impossible before. Now, follow his orders!"
"We've got trouble!"
Two ships, modified Nile-Class battleships, launched a squadron of GNX Mobile Suits, and on board the command vessel London was Clovis la Britannia himself.
Those ships needed to be built due to Ron's attack on Pendragon, and the attacks in Areas 6, 8, 9 and 11, and they were modified for atmospheric flight.
Then the London fired at the Shinjuku ghetto.
The cannons destroyed a number of buildings, all full of Japanese civilians.
Kallen fired at the London's starboard cannons, destroying both of them.
"Q-1, attack the Wellington! I'll handle the London!"
Lelouch...
She didn't hate him, as he was angry at Britannia for some reason.
But to call her by a codename when the Colonel said he already knew her name?
Then again, the radio freqs could be tapped.
"Understood, Zero."
"Engage!"
The DMS fired a ten round burst from the rifle, then transformed into the F-15C mode.
The twin GN Vulcans ripped hole in the London's hull, followed by shots from a GNXIII's GN Lance. Kallen's Jegan ripped off the bridge's ceiling, and the 60mm Vulcans killed every man on the bridge. The Wellington went down in Tokyo Bay, in flames.
The London was no better off.
In fact, it was worse.
Ron, who had done nothing for the past year, decided to kill things with the Morgan.
Twin MZ-121Z beam rifles ablazing, followed by the infamous DRAGOONs and Ultra Fangs that were the Colonel's calling card.
Of course, Ron wasn't done.
And he wasn't alone.
Clovis' sister, Cornelia li Britannia, had launched an attack on the JLF GHQ in Narita a few days earlier, and Colonel Pinkerton told them that the only way to defeat Britannia was to join the Schwartz Ritters, and the only way to do that was for Katase to resign command to Zero.
Colonel Pinkerton was a better tactician by far, and Katase relented.
Lelouch was in charge, and Ron was keen on being the fifth in command.
On the battlefield, death was a constant, and Ron's weapons of war-the ADF-X01A4 Morgan and CKMF-X01 Ouranos-were armed to the teeth.
Ron had a few things he stole from the Camelot team, including the MVS, VARIS rifle, FLOAT system and the Energy Wing prototypes.
And he was ready to test the former three with the Ouranos.
The modified Sutherland was named after the child-husband of Gaia, and the father of the Titans.
In a sense, it was named after him.
He had ran into his daughter twice, and it was the year CE 111, but here, time had reversed back to CE 109.
"Haro, take control of the Morgan, and launch the Ouranos."
"Copy! Copy!"
Ron hopped out and his first Knightmare caught him, landing him in the cockpit.
"Colonel Ronald Pinkerton, CKMF-X01 Ouranos, engaging!"
The FLOAT system activated, and Ron chuckled.
His VARIS also doubled as a beam rifle, thanks to the second barrel.
He was shot at by another Knightmare with a VARIS.
The second Lancelot, dubbed the Club Type by the Schwartz Ritters, was piloted by Cecile, the Pudding Earl's assistant.
"Suzaku, get your ass over here!"
Nile-Class battleship BSBB-51 London
Clovis was annoyed.
That damned Mobile Suit-the ADF-X01 Morgan?-was destroying everything in sight!
"Take out that Mobile Suit!"
"We can't! The damned thing's too fast!" Then the Dynames pointed the GN rifle at the bridge. "NO!" The 152mm rifle destroyed the bridge, and everything on it, even Clovis.
The ship went down, and the GN Tau drives powering the ship exploded, destroying it.
On the ground
There was a full-blown Knightmare battle on the ground, and Ron's MVS Beam Sabers (Based on the Masurao's beam saber/physical sword hybrid) were ripping the Sutherlands apart.
Then Suzaku finally arrived.
"I've got twice the equipment I need! Half this crap is for your KMF! Take it!"
Ron detached one of the FLOAT units, and equipped it to the Lancelot, turning it into the Lancelot Conquestia, and handing over two MVS Beam Sabers, plus a VARIS.
"Engage!"
Both Knightmares ran at the Britannians, and the Lancelot Club.
Of course, the Brits were in full retreat.
"Fall back! We've won! RTB, RFN!"
Ron took off, docked with the Morgan, got back to his Mobile Suit and jumped to his ship.
His first KMF sortie was a complete success.
And a damned good one, too!
"Long live Japan!"
Two weeks later
Ron smirked.
"An Orbital tower?"
It was over Honolulu, Hawaii, over Pearl Harbor, to be exact.
His new CO, in a black cape and mask, walked over. It was Zero, leader of the newly formed Order of the Black Knights, made of Britannian renegades, JLF holdovers and ex-resistance members. Standing beside him was Suzaku Kururugi, sixth in command, and XO of the Luna Santa Maria. "Colonel, report." "Looks like the retards built an orbital tower in Hawaii, over Pearl Harbor. Schneizel's got to be on crack to think we wouldn't take out his new space fleet. Minotaur-IIs, IIIs, Niles, Baikals and Volgas: just like December the Seventh, 1941."
Suzaku got it.
The attack on the US military base in Pearl Harbor during the Second World War.
Ron always compared the actions of the commanders there to his own, and he noticed that he was more Japanese then American, as he was always prepared, even in peace, while the Americans were caught off guard and napping.
To him, it was sickening to be unready for anything, even the unexpected.
In this case, it would give him great pleasure to give the Britannians the Yamamoto Treatment, as he called it.
"Colonel, what is the status of the new Mobile Suits you've built?"
"Tamaki's Wing Zero is ready, along with your command unit, 00 Raiser. And Suzaku might like this."
A holographic screen showed another 00 Gundam, but developed from the Lancelot.
"GNB-0000L 00 Lancelot Gundam. Basically the Lancelot with 00's weapons and powerdrive." "Damn. You're good."
"My job. Rakshata's is in KMF development; mine is in everything else."
"I think not, Colonel. You should work together more often."
"Not my job. My private KMFs are my own."
He had to rebuild the Ouranos into the Cronus, and it was more like a KMF version of the Stealth Freedom.
"So, ready to test our new fleet?"
"Very much so, Colonel. I hope this won't end up like the last time?"
"That thing's only got military personnel, and they don't stand a chance in hell."
Pearl Harbor Orbital Tower
Schneizel el Britannia sighed as he boarded the Utah.
The Minotaur-II was the second ship of her class, and his new personal flagship. With him with the Knights of Ten and Three and their new Mobile Suits.
Bradley's was based on GN-001 Gundam Exia, and Gino Weinberg's was just the GN-003 Gundam Kyrios.
"So, do you think those assholes will show up again?"
"They will. They've done enough damage. I think they'll attack the ships, but rather the facilities on the surface."
"Either way, they will die and pay for my disgrace!"
"Calm down, Luciano. With our new Gundams, they don't stand a chance!"
Then the tower rocked from a missile hitting it.
"What the hell?"
Outside, the Black Knights were launching Mobile Suits, Mobile Armors and everything they could get pilots in into the fight.
Exus and Gells-Ghe Mobile Armors opened fire and destroyed a number of harbor facilities, and Tamaki's Wing Zero was aiming at the Minotaur-III-Class Arizona.
"High Mega Cannon, firing!"
The Twin Buster Rifles tore a hole in the Arizona's hull, then the ship itself exploded.
"Get to your machines, gentlemen."
The two Knights of the Round ran to their Mobile Suits.
"This is going to hell."
SCVA-01 Luna Santa Maria: Pearl Harbor Orbital Tower
The battle was going well.
Too well.
"Be on guard. I've got a bad feeling about this."
Then two contacts appeared on DRADIS.
"I knew it! Two Gundam-types! Looks like the Knights of the Round have come to play!"
Kallen's Susanowo looked at the pair.
"I'll take them out!"
"No. Leave them to me. I will deal with them myself."
Ron walked to the hanger and hopped into the Morgan.
The Knights were mostly children with military equipment.
They were easy targets.
He launched out and locked onto the Kyrios.
"You must be Colonel Pinkerton!"
"Gino Weinberg, Knight of Three. Of course, I'm 94 years old and have the right to pilot a Mobile Suit, being a real career military officer, while you're just a kid playing soldier."
That pissed him off.
Kyrios rushed at the Morgan.
Mistake wasn't the word for it.
The A4 Morgan was a 12th Gen MS; the Kyrios was only 3rd.
Ron switched the GN Sword II Kai into Sword Mode and hacked off the claw on the left arm.
The Kyrios transformed, but two shots from the MK-121Z crippled it beyond repair.
Then there was the Vampire's Exia. Blocking a strike with the GN Sword III Kai, the head slowly turned to look at the Knight of Ten's MS.
"You do realize, of course, that this means war."
"At least one of us is going to die!"
Ron launched his Fangs.
"Yes. You."
Retard didn't notice until it was too late.
And even then, his suit was crippled and he was dead.
The Fangs returned to the side mounted launchers.
Then a GN particle blast hit the Morgan, but the Geschmeidig Panzer blocked the shot from damaging the GN drives.
Anya Alstriem was piloting the GN-005 Virtue that just shot at him.
"Recharging GN particles. Targeting ADF-X01 Morgan."
"It's ADF-X01A4, you stupid bitch!"
Ron charged at the Virtue, while Anya simply put up a GN field.
This had to prove that they were idiots.
Everyone knew that a GN Sword could go through a GN field.
Ron hacked the GN Bazooka to pieces, and used the railguns to destroy a few pieces of the Full Armor enclosing the Gundam.
But it looked to be that Virtue wasn't just armor plating in this case, but a full on Mobile Suit!
"Falling back. Colonel, your image is recorded."
'Bitch must have a memory problem. Oh well. Not my problem.'
Ron turned back, and saw that the three Minotaur-I-Mod.2a carriers had launched a few Mobile Suits.
Then again, they were named Yorktown, Hornet and Enterprise.
Ron aimed his weapons at the column holding up the harbor.
"Trans-Am Full Burst!"
This wouldn't work with the AD Orbital Towers, but the AD ones were 100 kilometers wide.
This was barely 10.
He fired, and the tower fell quickly, bringing down all but one ship.
The Utah had managed to break free of the harbor and escape.
This is a total AU, yes, but think about it.
The Dynames had data on crystal technology, ship specs, Mobile Suit blueprints, and even FTL drive technology and wouldn't Schneizel make warships that could travel in space if he could? I know it's an old plot, but it's better then my first idea: let the Morgan get captured and Ron tries to get it back.
And Suzaku not being in the Britannian military? Ron blackmailed him with his father's death.
Total asshole.
And a number of things won't happen: the SAZ, for example. Euphiemia won't meet Suzaku until she defects. And C.C? Ron'll meet her later.
Next Time, on Valkyrie's Flight: The Lost Sagas: Code Geass: Schneizel learns not to screw with the most powerful man on the planet: Colonel Ronald Pinkerton.
Ja Ne!
