25th January, 1994 a.t.b, 12:45pm; Britannian Homeland: North Western Cost – Pendragon City, Pendragon Royal Hospital: Private Wing – Lab Four
Charles Zi Britannia was eccentric as he looked at the baby lying on the cot in the lab as the Geass Directorate Scientists swarmed around him, one figure remained unmoving however and Charles looked at the Twenty Four Year Old Immortal out of the Corner of his eye, Samael Sol was not just any Immortal but an Original so it would be pointless to force this being to give up his Code when it was not possible to do so. Why Samael had agreed to this enterprise and what the Original Immortal was planning was far beyond the Crown Prince's tenacity to think, before Charles was his son who had taken his wife with him into childbirth but then again that Consort was worthless anyway and now she had served her purpose, the experiments on her womb may have caused her death however the boy before him had spliced into him a Unique Genetic Code based off the Copies made in the Geass Directorate which had been perfected with research on Samael's genetics which had been donned to the Geass Directorate.
"The child is a boy, what will you name your little Messiah?" asked Samael as he looked over at Charles, the Immortal had a mop of blond hair and honey coloured eyes, he wore an orange jacket.
"Michael, after the Archangel" answered Charles with a grunt "he'll lead those of Humanity with Codes through Ragnarok to a new world"
"I could care less" dismissed Samael as he moved to leave the room "just remember that he is mine, no one can have him but me, I'll play your game but my loyalty will inevitably belong to…Michael"
"We can now move ahead with our plan to take over Britannia" announced V.V. as he stepped up towards Charles "I kept this Project from other Members in the Geass Directorate, I found allies outside the Directorate, now we have the strength needed to make our move"
"So we shall" agreed Charles with a grin as he moved towards the doorway that Samael had left through "you can bet on that"
12th September, 2006 a.t.b, 4:30pm; Britannian Homeland: North Western Cost – Pendragon City: Saint Darwin Street, Saint's Palace: Main Building – Dining Hall
Michael El Britannia sat with a bored expression on his twelve year old face as he watched Clovis and Schneizel play chess for the fifth time that day, Michael really could not understand the excitement behind such a game and would rather be playing poker at this moment in time, despite his boredom at the game he had however gained a knowledge of how to play the game and compare it to a Tactical Battlefield. Michael picked up the book he was reading earlier on and continued from the page he had previously stopped at, Sun Tzu's book of Military Tactics was a useful hint as an insight into the Chinese Federation's own Strategies which would be useful for when Michael himself got through Military Training and ranked among the just few in the Royal Family who had the chance to be a member of the Army of the Holy Empire of Britannia, Michael was fit and smart for his youth and so next year he would be placed into gradual private training sessions under the careful view of Schneizel and Bismarck Waldstein – Michael would be trained alongside Bismarck's son: Jesse Waldstein.
"You seem bored" commented Clovis with a fake smile as he prepared to move a pawn on the chess board "is all this talk of Tactics blowing up your brains?"
"I wouldn't make that move if I were you" commented Michael but Clovis ignored him which Schneizel simply moved his Queen causing an instant Checkmate "told you so"
"Tch, whatever, another round?" asked Clovis and Schneizel shrugged as he reset the board.
"I'm going to spend some time outside" grunted Michael as he stood calmly and crossed out into the Conservatory connected to the Dining Hall.
28th August, 2010 a.t.b, 6:00pm; Pacific Ocean: Sea of Japan – 4th Britannian Naval Fleet, Elizabeth-class Carrier/Battleship: Elizabeth, Bridge Tower: Bridge Section – Tactics Room
Michael was displeased with how the Invasion of Japan had been going thus far and immediately thought of ways to correct the Tactical error that the idiot Generals had messed up at Itsukushima, now it had fallen to Michael to correct this mistake and Michael would use this to further his own Military Career – if he could think up a Tactical Plan better than any of the Generals here or even have some of the Generals killed off in the process, then Michael's Military career would ascend to the position that even the Emperor would have to look upon with pride.
Michael was only Sixteen yet he seemed smart enough to be in his late teens as well as prodigal Knightmare Pilot and Tactician, at the three places that Michael had fought in with his personal Glasgow he had altered their Tactics and practically embarrassed them enough for Schneizel to ridicule them over a long distance communication, if the Generals failed or died in the next engagement then Schneizel would hand command over the Pacific Forces to Michael. Michael looked over the recording of the last Battle which had been commanded by Kyoshiro Tohdoh or rather Tohdoh of Miracles who had instigated the Miracle of Itsukushima, the Japanese General was an impressive piece of work that was something that Michael had to agree to when looking at the man's Bio, strength and speed of a Samurai but that left one weakness – Tohdoh was not known for defensive warfare so they had to Force him into a Mountain Battlefield where the Samurai Speed would be blunted.
"Okay, we're going to split this battle into three Sections, first we have to land our Forces and I have our Allies holding a Beachhead set up a few surprises for the Generals on both sides" announced Michael as he pointed to the map "I reinforced that landing point so it would look advantageous to our Generals when really it is distracting our true goal, the G1 Base and our Forces will land at Hiroshima where we will march on the Mountains near the Itsukushima Shrine, from there we will concentrate on a defensive battle using the mountains to blunt the Speed from the Tactics of General Kyoshiro Tohdoh!"
"Not a bad plan" commented Jesse Waldstein with a grin from where he leaned against a wall, Jesse was a youth of Fifteen Years with blond hair and blue eyes, he was an initiate for the rounds and like Michael he had already proven himself in combat.
"It shall be done, my Lord" commented Samael from where he stood as he bowed, Samael's eyes caught Michael's for a brief time before he had to look away, causing Michael to raise an eyebrow.
29th August, 11:00am; Japan: Hiroshima – Mountain Range near the Temple of Itsukushima, Battlefield
"Phase One is complete" pondered Michael as he dodged his Glasgow by jumping into the air and firing a Slash Harken into the underside of a Japanese Assault VTOL.
Phase One of the Plan was for all Loyal Soldiers to withdraw from the Landing Point near Itsukushima so that the Generals would go with their own Loyal Forces to reinforce the area, once that was done they fought a majority of Tohdoh's Forces where Michael had then detonated the Mines in the area causing the demise of all those before him, Stage Two was a bombardment of the Religious Temple of Itsukushima in order to break the Japanese's Moral not only on this Battlefield but across the entire of Japan, finally Stage Three would be this battle before Michael's Forces.
"Enemy Forces are accelerating up the Mountain, however they are at a strict disadvantage" announced Jesse and Michael nodded.
"Tanks are designed for even ground or downhill warfare, on a Mountain or large hillside they are less than effective, our Knightmare Frames have the Tactical advantage" announced Samael with a smirk as he looked upon the battlefield "Michael, it would be best if we make use of our Long-Range Artillery placed on the Mountain, let them come to us"
"Alright, we'll play it your way" announced Michael with an annoyed frown as the sixteen year old sat back and watched.
The Long-Range Artillery fired down at the Japanese Forces who were fruitlessly trying to climb the mountain to tackle the Britannian Forces, more Britannian Reinforcements would soon arrive so the enemy was in a Tactical Disadvantage and once the reinforcement arrived things would really turn on their head, reinforcements would allow Michael to use their momentum to launch an all-out attack on the Japanese Forces. The Reinforcements would sweep around the Mountains and swing down to encircle the enemy, Michael would only need to wait for that and prepare for the opening that presented itself to their Forces, after an hour of bombardment something happened that caused Michael to respect Tohdoh's Tactical Knowledge.
"The Japanese Army is withdrawing" announced Jesse with a frown as he looked down at the main body of Tohdoh's Forces, Michael scowled as he jumped his Glasgow over two Japanese Tanks where he slashed through them with his unit's two Elbow-mounted Tonfas.
"We'll let them" growled Michael as he glowered down at the Japanese Army "we don't know the Strategic Field at this moment in time, for all we know they could have called for reinforcements and they are using their opportunity to draw us out, we shall stand our ground"
"The Pacific Fleet Admiral won't see it that way" commented Samael with a sigh as he watched the enemy.
"Well, it's a good thing for us that Schneizel isn't his brother, isn't it? He's mine" countered Michael and Samael smirked lightly at the young Prince.
"That he is" agreed Samael with a dismissive wave.
3rd September, 2:45pm; Britannian Homeland: North Western Cost – Holy City: Britannian Royal Palace – Main Building: Great Hall
Michael found himself standing before the entire Imperial Court including those of his Half-Siblings, the Emperor sat on his Throne with Schneizel on his left and Bismarck on his right, meanwhile the Pacific Grand Admiral stood off to the side after explaining the problem at hand to the Emperor. Michael stood there calmly but when the Emperor motioned his hand the younger El Britannia dropped to his knees before Charles, Charles looked at his Messiah and sighed as he thought of the charges brought against his son, insubordination was one thing but denying a superior officer the right to command his advance was another.
"Is everything that the Admiral said true?" asked Charles and Michael looked up at the Emperor.
"In his manner of speaking, I can understand from his perspective where he would have seen what I did as treason, but from my perspective I did not advance due to lack of resources" dismissed Michael as he glowered at the Admiral.
"I gave you sufficient Equipment to complete the invasion of the area" countered the Admiral and Michael smirked.
"Equipment – yes, but accurate information – not so much, I did not advance because of the lack of Strategic Information that the Admiral could have given me at the time" explained Michael as he stood "this included information about enemy reinforcements or even simple information like how close any other enemy force was, it is pointless to move into a Tactical Victory without regarding the potential Strategic loss, I refused to waste resources in enemy territory when my Liaison with the fleet is a strategic incapable dullard!"
"Father, it seems that Michael makes an interesting point despite his attitude, what good are those in command on the battlefield having when they are informed of issues inaccurately outside of their current field of influence? How can any win battles without being informed of the larger strategic field, it seems like an impossible task, even for someone of Royal Blood" announced Schneizel as he bridged his fingers behind his back.
"Also, said Grand Admiral is of a well known Noble Family which as of late has been wasting Pacific Resources in parties with other Nobility which Lord Michael has brought the evidence to our attention, this is unforgivable especially since said individual is trying to get one up on not only a Fellow Commander but a Commander of Royal Blood" announced Bismarck as he glowered at the Grand Admiral.
"Well, my son, I leave the sentence of the Admiral to you" announced Charles as he stood "you are now Supreme Commander of the Pacific Fleet and I will choose a assistant for you soon enough"
"Kill him, it's bad enough he planned to gain enough power to take Britannia by Force, worse that he had the audacity to believe he had the talent to do so" sneered Michael as he waved away at the Grand Admiral.
"Any news on Lelouch or Nunnally?" asked Schneizel and Michael shook his head with an aggravated sigh.
5:00pm; Britannian Homeland: North Western Cost – Holy City: Britannian Royal Palace – Main Building: Great Hall
The Brown Haired Markus Sel Britannia was restrained by a pair of guards before the Emperor however he glared at his Imperial Highness all the same, his sword lay further down the aisle with new corpses of the Knights of the Round laying, Michael had to admit that Markus was indeed a skilled fighter and he would be needed to complete whatever plan Michael decided on. Markus had been disowned as a Prince however he had then worked his way into a similar high position by becoming the Knight of Two, however Markus had been friends with Lelouch and upon hearing of the younger Prince's death he had turned even more aggressive, now he had acted out directly against the Emperor himself.
"I sentence you to…" started Charles however Michael intervened as he stepped forwards.
"Your Majesty, rather than kill him outright, wouldn't it be better to send him to Area 11 where he can seek Lelouch and Nunnally for himself?" asked Michael and Charles raised an eyebrow "it would be torture and a mission all as one, to serve in a rebellious country, looking for Royalty that could be dead"
"A curious way to make him pay, it shall be done then, if he succeeds then the Children of Marianne will be welcomed back however if he fails then he will be in imposed banishment indefinitely" announced Charles with two raised hands "take him away!"
11th August, 2017 a.t.b, 9:00am; Britannian Homeland: Area Seven, Panama Canal: Panama Military Base – Headquarters, Private Royal Quarters: Michael's Quarters – Balcony
The Twenty Three Year Old Michael El Britannia leaned his tanned arms on the balcony as he looked out at the Panama Canal in front of his gaze, the reports of problems accelerating in Area 11 had caught Michael's ears and his Head Strategist had had offered to go with a Competent Admiral to Area 11, even Cornelia who was busy in the Middle East would soon turn her attention on Area 11 and had offered to accept assistance from Michael.
"Still thinking on what to do?" asked Samael as he walked in through the side door and out onto the Balcony.
"What are the Pros and Cons, I have to know" answered Michael and Samael smirked as he touched the Prince's Arm.
"You can find out why you are immune to Geass or unable to gain Geass yourself" commented Samael and Michael glowered.
"And I bet you know the reason for that" countered Michael and Samael smirk widened.
"I may, but you must find out for yourself, I'll tell you in Area 11 if it comes to that, agreed?" asked Samael with a smile "because your father asked of it"
"So he wants to see if I am a success, does he think that the land that I occupied would be a challenge for me now, does he think that I'm getting soft!" snarled Michael as he clenched his fists.
"Think of it as sharpening your talents, you have been idle for such a long time, now is the chance to sharpen your deprived blunt talents back into the sword it was seven years ago" announced Samael as he slipped between Michael's arms.
"Or make myself into a newer and stronger blade than ever before" added Michael as he leaned down to look into Samael's eyes.
"Hurtled into the coming chaos, you'll fight...and the world will shake before you" complemented Samael before kissing his Prince.
