Stage Two The Order of the Black Knights

Feite rolls out of bed the next morning, and walks casually to the door with a loud banging against it. She hits the floor and mumbles loudly while pushing herself to her feet. She rubs her forehead while glaring at the door. "Who could it be this…" Feite turned to the alarm clock and her jaw dropped to discover it was late into the afternoon. She opened the door to spot Milly smiling at her. "Feite, you fell asleep all day?" Feite rubbed the back of her head. "Yeah, but there was no school today right?" Milly put her hands on her hips and nodded. "Yep, also which brings me to another point, we're going to the Kawaguchiko Convention Center Hotel tomorrow, and would you like to come with us?" Feite shrugged her shoulders, and shook her head. "I have a few things to do; I need to get ahead on a few assignments." Milly let out a smile and waved her hand. "Okay, but if you still want to go the invitation is open." Feite let out a smile, and closed the door. She placed her back against the door and slides down to the floor. "I can't believe I fell asleep so long." Her eyes turn to the window, and watch a bird land on the outside window ceil.

Hours later, Feite walks through the central quad of the school wearing a pair of jeans and a simple coat. A scarf was wrapped over her neck while the wind blew across the grounds. She put her hands into her jacket pockets and looked up at the sky. "Oh Feite-chan." Shirley ran over and let out a smile while holding a bag of groceries. "Are you going with us to the convention center? We asked Kallen, but she is too busy." Feite let out a smile and rubbed the back of her head. "I'm pretty busy as well; I want to get ahead on the homework that we got from the professor." Shirley nodded a few times while crossing her arms over the bag. "Well, are you doing anything now?" Feite shrugged her shoulders, and sighed. "No, I was about to take a walk, but what did you need?" She looked over at the student council building while Shirley let out a small laugh. "Do you want to help me make some lunches for everyone for the trip?" Feite held up her hands, while her cell phone started to ring. "Wait a second Shirley let me answer this."

"How are you doing R1?" Zero's voice came out from the receiver making Feite gaze off into nowhere. "I have to take this, sorry Shirley I can't help you make any sandwiches." Shirley looked over while Feite started to run off towards the front of the school. Shirley paused for a moment while she gasped. "Wait a minute; Feite couldn't possibly be going on a date!"

Feite leaned against the wall in front of the school gates, and spoke sternly into the receiver. "What do you want?" She looked at the cars passing by while the voice was silent on the other line.

"I want you to get a vehicle from me from a certain noble; I can't pick it up, so I'll need you to drive it and meet me at Ikebukuro Park. I'll send you the address after the phone call, so please take extra care when you pick up the vehicle." Lelouch sat at a computer while C.C. eat a piece of pizza on his bed. He shut his cell phone while he looked over at C.C. "Are you sure that she is going to help us?" Lelouch looked down while he turned in his chair. "Yes, Feite is a dependable person; you saw her actions when you arrived. She is an essential resource…" C.C. rested her head against the pillow. "There is something about her…you should keep your eye on her Lelouch."

The train to the center of the city was always filled with people, but today it was almost empty. The tram pulled into the main station and its doors opened. Feite sat in the back staring at the message on her mobile's display. She stood out from her seat, and walked out onto the train platform. Despite the not so cramped nature of the tram, the station itself was filled with people. Feite started to squeeze through the people, and eventually started down the stairwell. "What's with everyone…" Her stomach let out a small growl while she held her hand over it. "I'm so hungry…"

Feite walked alongside the sidewalk with a hotdog in her hand and a drink in the other. She takes a bite of the last bit of her hotdog, and takes a sip from her soft drink. It took her off course for an hour to get something to eat, but if Lelouch made this meeting the vehicle he wanted Feite to pick up would be there regardless. She continued forward down the street eventually reaching her destination.

It was a simple estate, a lot of nobles had moved to Area Eleven in hopes of gaining extra prestige from the Emperor. Some of these men were corrupt and some of them were quite adept at keeping their honor from becoming publicly known. Feite had the change of accompanying Lelouch on his earlier escapades in dealing with a majority of them. The money that had been won was put to good use, but other than that it was to prove Lelouch's dominance over them.

At the front gateway, a middle aged man looked over at Feite with his hand pinching his curled mustache. His other hand held a monocle to his eye while he smiled. "Oh my, the person I spoke to was a man, but its surprising that he would send a woman of grace to my humble abode." Feite looked into the driveway of the home to spot the large bus like vehicle. It was one of the over-elaborate vehicles used by the nobility, and often sported things too lavish even to people of wealth. "Yes, my associate wanted to send me over to pick up the vehicle." The middle aged man nodded a few times before holding his hand out. "Please, follow me." Feite started off walking a little ahead of the man, while his eyes seemed to not stare at the vehicle, but where Feite's skirt met her legs. He let out a smile, while they two reached the vehicle in question.

"Do you want to examine it before you drive off?" The middle aged man opened the door with a push of a five digit code while the key spins around his finger. "Sure…" Feite hesitantly walked over, and walked into the back. It was a sight to behold; it was as she had thought. It was large, bulky, and could hold a lot of people rather comfortably. "Wow, this is amazing." She paused on the entrance stairs while the old man took the chance to look up her skirt. "I know it is…" Feite looked down and smiled. "Did, my associate fill out all the paper work?" The middle aged man shook his head, "No need, it's been already completed. Here's the keys…tell your associate that I'd love to do business with him again." Feite took the keys from the man and waved to him while he walked off. "Did Lelouch use that weird power of his again on this guy…whatever; I need to drive this behemoth to Ikebukuro."

The large vehicle's engines came to life while it started off down the large driveway into the road. Feite gripped the wheel with both hands while she sat back in a lax manner while she applied pressure on the accelerator. Feite looked over at the heads turn while the vehicle rolled alongside the streets. They were curious about who would be inside such a luxury vehicle. She flipped her cell phone out and plugged it to the center console. "Voice Dialing activation…" The computerized voice came out from the driver side speaker while Feite let out a slight smile. "Dial P1" The dial tone started up while Feite pulled onto the highway.

Lelouch stood up in the back car of the train holding his bag, and the bar above his head. He looks to his jacket pocket and moves his hand from the bar to grab his mobile. Feite's number displays across the front of the phone while he flips it open. "Do you have the car?"

Feite makes a turn off the freeway and lets out a groan. "Yeah, but it's a pain in the butt driving this Lelouch, I'm only used to driving compact. This is a huge bus…"

Lelouch turned to the window and let out a small laugh. "Are you almost to Ikebukuro? I'm riding the train, I will be there in a few minutes."

Feite signaled right while pulling up to the intersection. The traffic was moving by smoothly while she nods. "Yeah, I'm about ten minutes away from there…"

"Good, I'll see you there." Lelouch ended the call while placing his phone back into his jacket pocket. He let out a smile while looking out the window once more.

The large vehicle was parked in a small open area in front of the Ikebukuro Park. Despite the war, the Ikebukuro Park was restored well with it transitioning to be part of the multi leveled settlement. Feite had the news on while she stared at the various television broadcasts. "How long is it taking that idiot to get here." She flipped through the channels, and let out a sigh.

A knock could be heard at the doorway while Feite got off the couch and walked over to the door. She pushed the unlock button while the door slide open showing Lelouch. "What took you so long?" Lelouch put his hand on the side of the door and glared at her. "You parked on the wrong side. I had to run across the park to get here." Feite put her hands on her hips and laughed. "Well, that's too bad. So what are you going to do with this car?" Lelouch climbed in and smiled. "I'm going to use it as a headquarters." He walked over to stairwell and looked over his shoulder. "I'm going to change."

Feite crossed over to the television again, and sat on the couch looking at the news. "Feite, are you willing to give your life for justice?" Feite turned over to spot Lelouch wearing his Zero outfit. "It depends on what you classify as justice. I'm not blind Lelouch, tell me is this for Nunally or your own stupid pride?" Lelouch let out a small laugh, and pulled off the mask. "This is for Nunally's sake, and refer to me as Zero when I wear this…" Feite rolled her eyes and shut off the television. "Then Zero-sama, what will we do?" He turned towards the doorway. "Waiting for the others to arrive..."

Within moments, the door opens with a group of other passengers boarding the vehicle. Ogi let out a loud gasp while Feite turned over with her arms crossed over her chest. "What's the matter come in?" Lelouch sat across from the doorway staring at it while the others walked in. Ogi peeked inside to spot Zero at the far end with his arm resting on the trim of the seat. "From now on this will be our base." Ogi takes a few steps inside and examines the walls while talking. "So I take it you'll be cooperating with us from now on?" A few others walk in while Zero nods slightly. "Yes, we're comrades now." Tamaki walks in and glares over at Feite. "Who are you?" Kallen takes a few steps in and her eyes widen. Feite stared at Tamaki with a fierce gaze on her face. "Feite Avalon, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Kallen walks in behind Tamaki and her eyes widen while Ogi steps in front of her. "Avalon?" He stares over at Feite while he pauses. "Zero, is this girl?" Zero nodded slightly and held his hand out to Feite. "Feite is instrumental in our future successes. She is one of the few people that I have faith in." Ogi let out a nod while he walked over to her with his hand held out. "I'm Ogi Kaname it's a pleasure…" Feite looked up at him and shook his hand while looking over at Tamaki and the figure behind him. "It can't be…Kallen?" Tamaki turns around while Kallen steps out from behind him. Ogi looks over while Kallen's face turns hostile. "Why are you here?"

Feite's arms moved down to her hips while she smiled over at Kallen. "My, you don't need to get so hostile Kallen. We're allies now aren't we?" Kallen looked over at Zero while the others stare at the pair. "How can you be sure that she won't rat us out to the Britannians?" Zero let out a small laugh and stood up. "To tell you the truth, I don't." Feite looked over at Zero and back at Kallen. "You're pretty fierce outside of school Kallen. If I wanted to tell Britannia I would have already done so." Kallen's clenched her fist while she lowered it to her side. "How can you be instrumental? You're just a student…" Feite held her arm out and opened her palm in a taunting gesture. "Come at me with your knife with the intent of killing me." Ogi turned over to Kallen and shook his head while she rushed past him. Her pouch held in her hand the blade flew forward. Zero looked over while Kallen lunged at Feite. "She's not moving…"Feite looked down at her and let out a smile while Kallen stopped with the knife inches away from Feite's chest. "Why didn't you move?" Feite patted Kallen on the shoulder and waved her hand in a relaxed manner. "I don't know…"

Ogi wiped his forehead, and let out a relieved sigh. "Oh, Zero how did you get a hold of a vehicle like this?" Zero turned his attention away from Feite, and Kallen. "The corrupt aristocrats will give whatever I want upon request." Tamaki looks over with his hands in his pockets. "Is it that easy?" Zero stood up from his seat, and walked over to the wall. "Don't worry I covered my Tracks." Feite put her hands on her hips and looked over her shoulder. "It seems that he did, the aristocrat we got this from was quite willing to give it away without question." She turned around and took a seat on one of the nearby sofas. "Zero, is quite a resourceful person…" Kallen looks over at the two with apprehension still in her eyes. "Why is Feite so laid-back around Zero?" Another Japanese resistance member walked up the stairs. "Hey hey there's a second story to this. Isn't this car a little too big?" Kallen leaned against a wall with her arms crossed. "On the other hand, they might not suspect a hideout this conspicuous." The glasses wearing man named Minami sat across from the television and picked up the remove. "There's even a television here."

Part of a new broadcast fills the room while the others take a look at it. "Is there anything going on out there?" Feite's eyes widen while the convention center appears behind the reporter. The female reporter comes into sight and bows. "Yes, I'm reporting in front of the Kawaguchiko Convention Center Hotel. The Hotel jackers appear to be from the Japanese Liberation Front. They have taken Chairman James, the members attending to conference on the division of Sakuradite. Also several tourists, and several staff members were also taken hostage. This is a video the culprits sent to us."

A video flashes on the screen showing the hostages knelt down in a small room with armed soldiers wearing late Japanese Military Uniforms. "As you can see, several students, and Chairman James can be seen in this video." Feite clenches her fist while Kallen spots Milly, Shirley, and Nina amongst the crowd. "The student council." Lelouch sits casually in the corner and looks over with an interested look. "The leader of this group calls himself, Lieutenant Colonel Kusakabe a former Japanese Military Soldier. Sakuradite, as it is essential to the manufacturing of high temperature super conductive substance directly affects the national security of the world. It's an important war resource. This place Area 11, is the world's largest supplier of Sakuradite supplying over seventy percent of the market's supply. The national Sakuradite is held her every year in order to allocate how much of this mineral each counter is allotted. The result is said to determine the power balance between Britannia and the other countries. The terrorists were probably aware of international attention being placed at this conference and have carried out this rather bold Hotel Hijacking."

Feite sat in the chair with several thoughts rushing through her head. She couldn't but feel hate for the Japanese Liberation Front to use such cowardly tactics to prove their point. "So it looks like they just made their move" Tamaki leans against the wall and stares at the monitor. Ogi looks at it with a hint of detest."They're the biggest anti-Britannia faction in Japan after all. Of course they don't want to play second fiddle." Feite stood up and walked over to the stairwell. Kallen looks up at her face to see the hatred brewing. Her teeth were clenched, and her hand shaking from the picture she saw on the monitor. Kallen followed Feite up the stairs. "Feite? Are you alright?"

Kallen's eyes widen while Feite slammed her hand against the wall. "Am I alright?" She turned her head to the side, and growled. "Those cowards are using civilians as a bargaining chip! They are ex-military to do something that low is an atrocious! Even if they are Japanese, they do not have a soul!" Kallen stood in shock while Feite's words seem to hit her deeper than expected. "If they hurt them, I tell you this Kallen I will make them pay." Kallen lets out a nod while Feite takes a seat nearby. She hunches over, and hunches over. "Feite…"

For several hours Feite sat in a state of total contemplation while the Vehicle was moved into the former headquarters for Ogi's resistance group. She tapped her forehead while Tamaki walked up the stairs with a box in his hands. "Hey why aren't you helping?" Kallen tapped Tamaki on the shoulder and shook her head while he looked back. Feite glared up at Tamaki and stood up walking over to the stairwell. "What do you want me to do?" She spoke in a monotone voice while Ogi looked up at her. He pointed over to a stack of boxes. "Can you start to sort those things out for us?" Feite walked down the stairs and over to the boxes. "Very well…"

Lelouch sat over at the computer looking at an interview of a Shirley's father and the reporter. Everyone was upset over this hostage situation, and his mind was contemplating the situation. "An organization is necessary in order to fight against Britannia. But it's too early. But I can't leave things as they are now. Given Cornelia's personality, she will definitely ignore the hostage's presence, and…" Lelouch's eyes widen while he makes a realization of the event. "Then why hasn't she made her move? Don't tell me…" Kallen walks up behind Lelouch holding a small pillow in her arms. "Zero? What will happen to the hostages?" Lelouch mutes the video feed and looks at the silent broadcast in front of his eyes. "At any rate, there isn't any reason for them to release any Britannians."

Feite entered the room only to have Zero and Kallen both look at her. "So, the situation is still the same. Why hasn't Cornelia acted yet?" She walked over to the chair and leaned over to stare at the video feed. Kallen looked at Feite with some shock in her eyes. Zero looks over at her and then back at the video. "I don't understand, there has to be something or someone there that is making her not react." Feite took a few steps back and sighed. Kallen took a step forward with her eyes fixed on Feite. "How do you know about Cornelia?" Zero spoke without looking at the pair. "Feite is an ex-cadet from the Royal Military Academy, and was specially tutored by a Rounds, and Cornelia herself." Feite let out a smile, and crossed her arms telling Kallen the full story before her exile to Japan two years ago. Kallen turned over with sadness in her eyes. "That's why Britannia must be destroyed; they make their own backstab one another and sometimes drag unnecessary people into their web of deceit." Zero clenched his fist while Ogi walked into the door holding a box full of uniforms. "Do you mind if I distribute these to everyone?" Ogi looks at the uniforms, and lets out an uneasy sigh. "I think they're pretty cool, but we're a resistance…."

Zero turned around in his chair and shook his head. "No, we're not a resistance." Ogi looked over at him with a confused look stretched across his face. Zero stood up from his seat, and held out his hand clenching his gloved hand. "What we are aiming for is…To be the allies of justice. " Feite let out a small laugh, and crossed her arms over her chest. "I see, so that is what you're planning." She poked her head into the box, and looked up at Ogi. "Are there female versions of this uniform?" Kallen looked over with some hint of interest in her eyes while Zero shook his head. "I would like to speak with everyone concerning a strategy I have. I've decided to take action."

Inside the main room, a few of the members were already dressed in the black uniforms that were loaded onto the vehicle hours ago. Feite leaned against the wall, while Kallen stood beside her. Zero walks over to the Television, and lets out a small laugh. "The terrorists at the Kawaguchiko Convention Hotel are doing something that I cannot allow. One cannot fight Britannia by mindlessly killing the citizens. We need to gain the trust of the people, and that is why I wanted all of you to join. Not as a resistance, but as soldiers of Justice." He clenches his fist, and throws it to his side. "This will be our debut, of our new organization that will crush Britannia, and unite the people under us." Feite stared up, at Zero with a warm smile appearing on her face. "How did you become so good at speeches Lelouch…You almost sound like your father…" Zero looked over at the members of Ogi's resistance group. "Do you accept this? This is the chance of a lifetime, a more organized group than a resistance." The group all unanimously agree with Kallen staring over at Feite's content expression. "So shall we start off towards Kawaguichiko?"

On the road to the convention center hotel, Feite sits at a table with Ogi seated across from her. "So, how do you think we'll rescue the prisoners?" Feite shrugged her shoulders, and types on a small laptop while a satellite view was displayed on the monitor. "As it seems Britannia is trying to send forces via this access route that runs at the bottom of the hotel. The JLF members have set up some sort of linear cannon at the end of that route eliminating any chance to an entrance way. Also any infiltration attempts were thwarted, they are not novices to this game." Ogi looked at the screen and pointed at it. "How are you getting such a clear image of the scene?" Feite looked over and let out a smile. "I'm borrowing one of the Avalon spy satellites. I'm using a multi-directional lock out, so it's impossible to track my control over this satellite." Ogi rubbed his head, and sighed deeply. "Wow, that's pretty useful talent."

The large vehicle parks in the city streets while Feite gets dropped off with several others. "So we'll need a vehicle to get inside. What are your ideas?" Feite shrugged her shoulders while Zero stared at her. "The news is broadcasting; we'll use one of them to get inside. All we have to worry about is the blockade." Tamaki looks over at her with a scowl on his face. "Why do I have to wear this stupid outfit?" He looks at his vest, and cargo pants while Feite wore a simple woman's suit. "We have to look legitimate Tamaki, stop complaining." The group starts to walk down the street with the convention center growing larger in the distance.

Feite walks across a parking lot where many news vans were parked. One especially was one of the most prominent new teams in Area Eleven. The area was quiet, with most of the reporters taking a break due to the stalemate between the Britannian Forces and the Terrorists inside the hotel. They had started to execute hostages by making them jump off the roof of the hotel. Feite tried her hardest to keep her emotions in check while a camera guy looks over with a confused look on his face. "Hey, which company are you guys from?" Tamaki's body stiffened while the pressure had started to affect him even before the conversation started. Feite shrugged her shoulders, and moved quickly chopping the camera man on the collarbone. He coughed and fell forward while Feite removed a small pen shaped syringe. Her hands moved fast, and before the man hit the ground he was unconscious. Tamaki stood in shock while Feite lowered his body softly to the ground. "Tamaki tell Zero, we have the truck." She tossed the keys over to him while he gave her a shocked nod. Tamaki pulled out a small mobile phone and dialed up the main headquarters.

Feite climbed into the back of the vehicle, and pulled off the black wig off her head tossing it effortlessly to the side. She removed a pin from her hair allowing the full length to fall down alongside her cheeks. She had started to change back into the black knight uniform. "Stage One has been cleared all that is left is to get past the Britannians." She pulled back the bolt on the rifle in her hands. It was a Britannian model that had been left over from Ogi's past rebellions against Britannia. She rested the weapon across her lap while Kallen and Ogi both enter the truck. "Huh? Where's Tamaki?" Ogi looked over at the rifle, and climbed into the passenger side seat. "He was sent back, he's not the type for these missions. Kallen's going to drive." He made a gesture over his mask for Feite to put on hers. "It's going to be nearly impossible to enter that hotel…aren't you scared Feite?" Kallen sat in the drivers seat, and turned the key making the engine purr to life. "A little, but with Zero with us, we can't fail."

Zero sat on the rooftop of the van while he started down the empty street towards the Britannian blockade. He lowers her phone while Lelouch smiles underneath the mask. "I just sent those fools a message, soon we'll see if Cornelia has the fortitude to resist my intervention." The military blockade came into view with the surrounding area's snipers taking aim at the approaching vehicle. The flood lights flash on the slowly moving vehicle, while Zero was now in a standing posture. The Sutherland pilots quickly align their targets at Zero, and some others at the vehicle itself.

Ogi looks at the large formation of Britannian forces and looks behind him. "What does he mean by allies of justice?" Feite stared at the magazine in her hand and loaded it back into her rifle. "I don't know, but I think we'll find out soon enough. This is a rather bold mission we're trying to pull." Kallen lowers her head with some hint of uneasiness on her voice. "I don't think we'll know, these forces are the thickest I've seen." Feite let out a small laugh, "Don't be so pessimistic Kallen, we'll do just fine."

The van pulls in front of the long stretch leading towards the hotel only to be stopped by Cornelia, and her two knights in their Gloucester. Zero stares over at Cornelia and lets out a nod. "Cornelia, I feel like returning a big favor, but its too early to use you. If things go as planned, I won't have to use my Geass." The cockpit opens with Cornelia standing over the back of her Knightmare Frame. "So we meet again Zero. Are you a member of the Japanese Liberation Front? Or did you provide assistance to them? However our business comes first. Vengeance for my half brother Clovis." Cornelia pulls out a elongated pistol and aims it over at Zero. "I will do it here."

Zero stands un-phased by the aggressive decision by Cornelia and speaks firmly to her. "Cornelia which do you choose? The dead-Clovis, or Euphemia that is still alive?" Cornelia's determined face shatters into one of complete worry. Lelouch smiles once more underneath the mask with his observation now complete. "Good it is as I thought. The first condition has cleared. You're more clever than ever Cornelia. You always pampered Euphemia. That's why you can't move, emotions have clouded your judgment." He turns up to face Cornelia again and holds his hand out clasping his hand into a fist. "I will save Euphemia." His words start to confuse the soldiers around while Cornelia regains her composure. "Zero, I don't know what you are saying…"

Feite let out a smile, and crossed her arms over her chest. "Well played Lelouch, who would have thought you'd be able to make Cornelia so flustered, its amazing how you can twist a human's mind." Ogi looked back at Feite while the troops moved out of the way. "That was amazing, how did he analyze the situation so quickly." Kallen shrugged her shoulders while she applied pressure to the gas. The news van started to move across the bridge with the Britannian forces standing completely down. Feite twisted on a suppressor at the end of her rifle while everyone looks at her in shock. "What are you doing?" Ogi looked back with shock on his face. "We're going to liberate the facility from the JLF. Unlike use we are not wolves, wolves need to die." Kallen stared out the corner of her eye while the van came to a stop. Zero leaped off the roof, and approached the JLF members.

The back door of the van opened, and Feite stepped out holding the weapon. "What are you doing?" The JLF members aimed at Feite while she smiled at them from under her mask. "I'm Zero's assurance that you won't try anything funny. It would be a shame if you were to die here." A laser sight appears on the soldier's heads while Kallen, and the others aimed their weapons at the guards. "This is our plan, you will lead us down below, to the Yacht docked at the rear of this hotel. After that I will give you a choice….Now lead on you pathetic dogs."

At the dock near the rear of the facility, Feite stands on the dock holding her rifle over her knee. She looked up at the moonlit sky and sighed to herself. The guards that brought them here were tied up, and knocked unconscious. The members of Ogi's group were starting to get the Yacht while Kallen walked up behind Feite. "You're very reliable in these types of situations aren't you?" Feite turned around and shook her head. "Nope, they never trained us in Counter Terrorism at the Academy. I just know how to move about and conceal my presence." Kallen nods, "When I used my knife earlier, why did you stop?" Feite took a few steps to the side, and shrugged her shoulders. "I could have disarmed you several times when you lunged at me. So I let fate decide, and she was right about you. Kallen you have a pure heart." She started off towards the bridge while Kallen shook her head.

Ogi looked over with some of his men around him. They were all looking at Kallen and Feite have their discussion. "I heard she was from the R. Academy. Must be some elite person, but why would she join a revolution group?" Ogi looked over at Minami with a concerned look in his eye. "I don't know, but apparently Kallen, and Zero both know about it and trust her completely. She seems reliable, and that's all I need to know." Inoue crosses her arms over her chest. "I guess, but we should still keep an eye out on her." Tamaki shrugged his shoulders, "Well, she's got attitude, and a killer body…" Inoue let out a sigh and shook her head. "Stop it there Tamaki, don't want her to hear your perverted ideas." Ogi let out a small laugh while Feite looked over from the bridge window.

Feite stood on the bridge with her hands firmly resting on the helm. She let out a sigh, while staring off at the distance. The waters were pretty calm on this side of the waterfront. The hotel however was under a veil of spotlights from the Britannian garrison across the bridge. Feite pulled out a necklace from her pocket, and glared at the wing attached to a silver chain. "So, what is our noble leader going to do for a plan?" Kallen walked in and leaned against the console beside the door while Feite looked over her shoulder. "Well it would seem that the Britannians are deploying something. I'd imagine the strut that holds the hotel afloat will be targeted first. During the sinking of the hotel, they rescue the hostages." Kallen let out a gasp while she pushed off the console and walked towards Feite. "How are you sure of this?" Feite shook her head, and shrugged her shoulders. "It's what Zero told me, we're going to do a little public relations on our announcement." She held up her wrist, and checked the time. "It should happen soon."

Kallen looked over with a shock in her eyes. "What do you mean?" She turned to the window to spot a few members back with empty bags. Feite pointed over to them and let out a smile. "Explosive satchels have been placed throughout the building. We're going to make it seem that they miscalculated…" She let out a smile and rested her chin on her folded arms. "Its amazing how detailed Zero is, this plans are always so mysterious and well thought out." Kallen's eyes widen while refugees were loaded onto the ship. "What is going on?" Feite let out a small laugh while the hotel started to explode violently.

The hotel started to list with its strut now destroyed. The Lancelot lands on the highway while Suzaku zooms in on a single window to see the silhouette of Zero. "It can't be…" The camera shakes while secondary explosions start to blow alongside the interior of the hotel. Suzaku watches in shock while Cornelia stands in shock with fear for Euphemia's life in her eyes. Feite walks out of the bridge and throws her hand out towards the citizens. She coughed for a moment and altered her voice. "Everyone, listen to our orders, and get into the life boats. We have no intention of hurting you."

Shirley holds onto the frightened and traumatized Nina while Milly stands on her opposite side. The other members of Ogi's team starts to put the survivors into the life boats. Shirley looks over at Feite, her mask and hat making her features unidentifiable. The voice was familiar, but it was too deep to be the person she thought of. "Feite? No, it can't be her. She's at the academy." Zero walked by slowly while Kallen walked up forward to hand a video camera to Feite. "Is everything prepared?" Kallen let out a nod, while Feite grabbed the camera. "Yes, the equipment from the TV truck is all hooked into the ship." She took a few steps back while the smoke cleared showing the vessel to the whole world.

Everyone stands in shock while the video is played live throughout Area Eleven. Zero holds his hand out and lets out a strong and confidence speech. "To all Britannians there is no need to panic. The hostages that were held in that hotel have all been saved. I shall return them to you."

Cornelia's brow twitches while the life boats and Zero's boat starts to move apart from each other. "No, you're not, they'll be hostages again if we act against you."

On the deck of the vessel, lights shine on the black knights with Zero standing in the center, and Kallen behind him. Feite aimed the camera at the large group while Zero continued his speech to the entire populous of Area Eleven. "People, Fear us or Seek us! We are the order of the black knights. We the black knights are allies to those that have no weapons. Be it elevens or Britannians. The Japanese Liberation Front used underhanded tactics, used Britannian civilian hostages even killed them in cold blood. It was a meaningless action, so we punished them. Clovis the previous governor-general was the same way. He massacred elevens that held no weapons. I can't stand to see these cruel acts, which is the reason he was punished. I don't wish to fight. However the act of the strong completely and utterly killing the weak…That is unforgivable. Only those that are prepared to be killed should be the ones to kill. When those with power decide to attack those with none we will appear. No matter how great the power of that enemy is." Zero threw his left arm out tossing his cape aside. "Those that are strong, Fear us!" He moved his right arm out stretching it out the side. "Those without power fear us! The world shall be judged by us, the order of the black knights."

The speech was passionate, while Feite lowered the camera, and looked over at the Gloucester in the distance. The figure was undecipherable, but she knew who it was. There was only a few who piloted that machine the machine created by her father's company. One of them was Cornelia, her knight Guilford, and her other Dalton. Feite knew them all too well, and was the only black knight to look off at them.

Cornelia walked over to the edge where the lake met the water. Her eyes widen while a chill ran down her spine. "What is this feeling?" She looked up with a glare forming in her brow. "Lady Cornelia." A young soldier yelled from the beach with the first lifeboat on shore. Cornelia turned over and threw her arm out. "Begin retrieval of the civilians let the Black Knights go."
