Code Geass: Rebirth through Freedom and Redemption Chapter 4: Things Begin to Change: Escape from Shinjuku.
Lelouch woke up that morning feeling different than whenever he woke up in the past. Today he felt more alive than ever before. Lelouch proceeded to stretch before changing his cloths and heading down for breakfast with Nunnally. While walking down he began to think about the deal he made with those two people of Terminal.
Flashback:
"Yes," Lelouch said "I'll listen to your request."
Ryu nodded his head "Excellent," he said "now here is what we want from you, because you are a former member of the Royal Family, you have information about the king, princes, and princess of the royal court. Therefore we would like you to give us information about them."
"What would I get out of this deal in return?" Lelouch asked
"Why it is simple," Kira said "we would help you prepare in your fight against Britannia as well as give you something else."
"What would this something else be?" Lelouch asked
Kira and Ryu smiled "We would restore your sister's legs and sight."Kira said
This shocked Lelouch was shocked by this "Impossible," he said "the finest doctors in Britannia couldn't bring my sister's sight back much less here legs."
"Ah," Ryu said as he wagged his fingers "Britannia doesn't have special medical equipment like we do. Look you have nothing to lose if you join our group and help us out. So what do you say?"
Lelouch remained silent for a good three minutes deep in thought of the situation. Something about them told Lelouch that they were telling the truth that he could trust them in some way or another. But at the same time he was thinking about how this promise seemed too hopeful to him. After weighing the pros and cons of the idea, Lelouch sighed coming to his answer "Alright," he said "it's a deal but if it doesn't work then you get nothing out of me do you understand?"
"Perfectly" Kira said
"Now," Lelouch said "can you untie me now my sister will probably think I am running late for dinner." He finished as the two of them untied Lelouch.
Flashback End:
Lelouch then remembers how Ryu and Kira told Nunnally about the idea. Nunnally at first didn't agree but Ryu and Kira convinced her that she should at least try it to which Nunnally agreed to at least try it. Lelouch was then broken out of his thoughts as he entered the dining room to see his sister at the table with Sayoko bring out food. "Good Morning Nunnally, Sayoko." He said as he approached the table.
"Good Morning Brother." Nunnally said
"Good Morning my Lord." Sayoko said
Lelouch then turned his head to Sayoko "Is everything prepared for our trip?" he asked
Sayoko nodded her head "Yes," she said "everything is ready to go. We will be leaving right after you and Lady Nunnally come back from school." She finished as she began to frown "my Lord is it wise to trust these people?"
"I don't know," Lelouch said "I just get this feeling that I can put my faith in them." He finished as he looked at Nunnally "What do you think of the situation Nunnally?"
Nunnally moved her head towards Lelouch's direction "I also feel like I can trust them," she said as she turned her head to the side "Ah….I kind of forgot about the plan today. Can you tell me about it again brother?" she asked
Lelouch smiled at her "Well according to Ryu their will be a car waiting outside of Ashford academy," he said "the car will somehow take us to Shinjuku where there will be a service for those who died at Shinjuku, from their they will begin shipping people from Shinjuku to their base of operations. According to them they have a doctor that can help you."
"Do you know where we will be going?" Nunnally asked
Lelouch shook his head "No," he said "they didn't tell me." He finished as he looked at the clock "looks like it's time for me to go to school, I'll see you later Nunnally, Sayoko." He finished as he got up and left them.
Sayoko turned to Nunnally "Milady did you notice something different about your brother today?" she asked
Nunnally nodded her head "Yes," she said "he seems like he got some happiness back in his life." She said as she went back to eating her food.
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, back at the camp at Ryu and Kira were talking to Commander Chase and Kira's team Commander, a long black haired green eyed coordinator by the name of Izumi Wong, about the situation of evacuating the civilians that were in Shinjuku.
"So Chase how many people want to leave Shinjuku?" Ryu asked
"We talked to all the remaining civilians that were still in Shinjuku at the time," Chase said "many of them want to leave."
"So what's the total count of people who are planning on leaving?" Kira asked
"About 1500 people would like to come with us," Izumi said
"That's a lot of people," Ryu said "we do have room for that amount on the Valhalla and we have enough supplies for them but the question is do we have enough shuttles to take them up is the big question."
Kira looked at Ryu "We better tell the others." She said as she looked at Izumi and Chase "you two are dismissed."
Both saluted "Yes ma'am," they said as Kira and Ryu went to the communications tent.
Scene Break:
Inside the communications tent, Kira and Ryu contacted the others. A few seconds later, the others appeared on the screen.
"Yo," Mu said as he raised his right hand "we figured you guys would call, so how many people are going to be joining us up here?"
"Around 1,500 people…" Kira said
"1,500!" everyone yelled
"Is that a problem?" Ryu asked
"In normal set of time no," Jay said "but we are pressed for time, we just got information from the data mines we set up just transferred new information to us."
"What new information did the mines give us?" Kira asked
"It just told us that Prince Clovis has been demoted to Sub-viceroy and is being replaced by his brother Davis and his sister second princess Cornelia li Britannia and that she, Davis, and a faction known as the Purebloods have planned a three pronged attack on you guys ."
"Who is she?" Kira asked
"Cornelia li Britannia is the second princess of Britannia," Meyrin said as she looked at the report "from the information we got from her she is known as the "Goddess of Victory" to her allies and to her enemies she is known as the "The Witch of Britannia." She finished as she looked at Kira and Ryu "she, like Davis, is an excellent military strategist and is strong on the battle field as well."
"Your point," Ryu said "we could just take them out with the Vanguards like we did when we took out those other forces."
"That's the thing," Shinn said "unlike all those other forces you faced against she doesn't use Sutherlands instead she has uses a Knightmare frame called the Gloucester."
"What so special about theses Gloucesters?" Kira asked
Murrue brought up a picture of the Gloucester "These Gloucesters are built mostly for close combat; these units wield Lances much like old British knights and are quicker than Sutherlands."
"There's more information isn't there?" Ryu asked
Mu nodded his head "The Gloucesters are mostly used by Cornelia and her forces in fact two of her Generals named Andreas Darlton and Gilbert G.P. Guilford also use Gloucesters while leading a group called the Glaston Knights all of whom use Gloucesters as well."
"How good are these guys?" Ryu asked
"I would have to say that if you and your teams went against her in Vanguards you would win but you would have casualties as well," Lunamaria said "if you were in your regular suit or had beam weapons you would win without casualties."
"So what do we do then?" Kira asked
"Don't worry," Jay said "will think of something."
"So how many shuttles do we have?" Ryu asked deciding to change the subject.
"We have 15 shuttles all of which can hold 10 people each not including the pilot of the shuttle." Lacus said
"So that's 150 people per trip," Ryu said as he put his right hand under his chin "Which means we would need 10 trips to take all of them." He finished as he looked "How long would each trip take."
"It would take 2 hours for each trip," Lunamaria said "that includes unloading all the passengers and refueling the shuttles for reentry."
"So 20 hours total," Kira said "we should tell you that the prince we found has agreed to travel with us and he won't be able to meet us until around 3:30PM this afternoon, reason why is because they are in school and won't get out until 3:00PM and it takes half an hour to get here by car. We plan on sending a car with a Mirage Colloid system in it." She finished as everyone nodded knowing the deal that Kira and Ryu made with Lelouch.
"So the funeral will be at 4:00PM and will either end at 4:20PM or 4:30PM," Lacus said "and if we start the transfer of people right after we should be down at around 10:30AM or 11:30AM tomorrow; also will send the transport ships to bring the Vanguards back into space during the last few returns of the shuttles."
Ryu nodded his head "Got it," he said "but make sure the shuttles have Mirage Colloid in its system so we don't attract the Britannian's attention. Other than that, we are done for now, will see you guys later." He finished as the other nodded their heads before ending the transmission.
Ryu looked at Kira "I'm going to go check on the men and have them prepare for the return trip." He said
"Ok," Kira said "I'm going to go check on Midori." She finished as both of them separated to do their respective job.
Scene Break:
A few hours later, Ohgi and the others were inside the tent thinking about what to do now that Ryu, Kira, and the others were preparing to leave.
"So what should we do?" Inoue asked
"I say we should go with them," Minami said "we don't really have anything better to by sticking around here."
"Are you saying we should just give up the fight against Britannia to free our home?" Tamaki yelled
"I didn't say that," Minami said "it's just, unlike the other resistance groups like the Japanese Liberation Front, we don't have funding or weapons to fight against Britannia directly, but Terminal has weapons, even more powerful weapons than Britannia."
"Yeah," Sugiyama said "they helped us fight against Britannia the other day; maybe they can help us fight them or at least supply us with weapons and stuff."
"But what about that Britannian they want help from," Tamaki said "the one who was the eleventh prince. How do we know he won't betray us or even them?"
"Kira and Ryu told you themselves," Inoue said "he has more of a reason to hate Britannia more than us."
Minami looked at Ohgi "What do you think Ohgi?" he asked
Before Ohgi could answer the question, his phone began to ring; he then proceeded to look at it. "It's Kallen." He said as he answered the phone.
Scene Break:
"Hey Kallen, how have you been?" Ohgi said over the phone. "How's campus life treatin' ya?"
"Stifling," Kallen said it was the lunch break when she made the call to Ohgi so not to alert anyone of who she really was "I was stuck in history class yesterday. Look, maybe I should head back."
"Yeah maybe you should," Ohgi said "look a situation just popped up here."
"What type of situation?" Kallen asked
"Because of the damage the Britannians did to the area, Terminal is planning on evacuating the remaining civilians in Shinjuku to a new place. We're trying to decide whether or not we should go with them or not." Ohgi said
"What," Kallen said "really why would they do that?"
"They say that once they leave, Britannia will probably attack Shinjuku again to find information about this Terminal group." Ohgi said "which is one of the reasons why they are doing this."
"What about you and the others," Kallen asked "What's your guys decision on this situation?"
"Were debating where we should go or not," Ohgi said "sense your apart of the group what do you say?"
Kallen began to think about how this Terminal group had helped them out of the blue. Their leaders helped make sure that the civilians had food and water and that their injuries were treated. Unlike the Britannians, these people were willing to help them and the civilians when other people wouldn't.
"I say we should go with them," Kallen said "something tells me we won't be disappointed if we go."
"Ok," Ohgi said "if you think that will let you know of our decision when you arrive. The funeral is at 4:00PM so you should leave right after school. Also we found out who that mysterious voice was that gave us commands at the beginning of the battle."
"You did," Kallen said surprised that they found the person already "who was it?"
"It turns out he is a Britannian," Ohgi said shocking Kallen "and I have to say that he has more of a reason to hate Britannia more than we do?"
"A Britannian," Kallen said "why would a Britannian want to fight his own kind?"
"We can't tell you about it know," Ohgi said "will talk about it late ok. So I'll see you later" He finished as he hung up the phone.
'A Britannian,'Kallen thought 'why would a Britannian want to help us?'
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, in the middle of the Tokyo settlement, Suzaku Kururugi wearing a dark blue jacket, tan under shirt, jeans and sunglasses was waiting for Lloyd and Cecile to arrive and pick him up. Lloyd had given him the morning off so he could do whatever he wanted while they repaired the Lancelot so he decided to go to the city for the morning. Now he was waiting for them to pick him up so he could test the repairs on the Lancelot.
'Where are they,'Suzaku thought 'they should have been here an hour ago.'
"Out of the way please," a voice above him said. When he looked up, he saw a girl with pink hair wearing a long orange skirt, long white blouse, and red high heels falling down toward him.
"Look out below," she said as she was about to hit the ground but before she fell to the ground Suzaku put out his arms and caught her.
"Huh, are you ok?" Suzaku asked
"I'm sorry," the girl said as she looked at Suzaku "I wasn't aware that you were down here until I had jumped down here."
"Well don't worry" Suzaku said "I wasn't expecting a girl to come falling out of the sky and into my arms either."
"Oh my," the girl said
"Is there something wrong," Suzaku asked in concern
The girl looked down for a second before looking back up again "Yes," she said "there is something wrong."
"Huh?" Suzaku asked
"The truth is that bad guys are chasing me," the girl said "so considering the circumstances could you help me please?"
"Sure," Suzaku said as he helped the girl up onto her feet "let's go over there." He said as she led the girl to a different area. As they were walking the two of them began to talk to each other.
"We haven't introduced ourselves yet have we?" the girl said "My name is… Euphie"
"Euphie?" Suzaku asked
"Yes," Euphie said
"My name's Suzaku," Suzaku said as he turned away from her and began to think about the situation he and Euphie were in "You lied before," he said "there is no one chasing you at all right?" he asked as he turned toward the girl only to see her talking to a cat.
"Meow," Euphie said as she looked at the cat "meow, meow, meow ah does the kitty's paw hurt?" she asked as the cat hissed at her. "Meow, meow, meow." She said again as the cat's attitude changed as Euphie put out her hand and the cat began to rub his face into it. "Meow, meow, meow." She said again as Suzaku approached them and smiled at the scene.
Euphie took the cat in her arms and showed Suzaku. Suzaku was about to pet him but the cat bit his finger.
"Ow…"Suzaku said
"Oh my…" Euphie said
Scene Break:
"We're running late," Lloyd said as he and Cecile were driving in the R&D truck with the Lancelot in the back. The time to fix the Lancelot's shielding as well as the joints in the hands and arms took longer than they had expected and now they were running late to pick up Suzaku. "I hope he is still waiting."
"Well considering how late we are I wouldn't be surprised that he went back to the base to see where we are." Cecile said
"I guess," Lloyd said as he noticed something outside "What…" he said as he saw Suzaku with some girl "why is he…" he finished as Cecile was shocked at the scene.
Scene Break:
Euphie tied a bandage on the cats hurt paw "Do you have trouble with cats?" she asked
"I like them fine, however…" Suzaku said as he tried to pet the cat only for the cat to hiss at him "the attraction isn't mutual."
Euphie smiled "I think unrequited love is the mark of a kind person," she said as the cat got up and left "Aw the kitty ran away."
"E-Euphie why did you tell me that lie when we meet earlier?" Suzaku asked
"Do you ask because you're concerned about me?" Euphie asked
"Huh," Suzaku said "of course."
"Good," Euphie said as she got up and grasped his arm "then you can accompany me some more. Come on it will be fun." She finished as they got up and began to explore the city. Each of them talked about all kinds of things while exploring.
"Suzaku," Euphie asked after exploring "Can you take me to one more place please?"
Suzaku turned around and mock-bowed to Euphie "Your wish is my command milady where to?" he said
"Take me to Shinjuku." Euphie said surprising Suzaku "Suzaku please escort me there."
"But it's dangerous." Suzaku said remembering that the unknown organization was still there.
"I don't care," Euphie said "I want to see what happened there myself."
Both looked at each other for a few seconds before Suzaku sighed "Alright" he said knowing that she wouldn't budge on the matter.
Scene Break:
Back at Ashford Academy, Lelouch was showing Kallen the clubhouse in which the student council would meet in. It turns out the principle was going to allow Kallen to join the council due to her condition of being sick and the principle asked Lelouch to show her around.
"This is the clubhouse where the student council meets," Lelouch said as she showed Kallen the giant room "they built it for various special occasions." He finished as they were walking to another room.
"I didn't think that a place like this was around." Kallen said as she entered the room. Inside the room, were four other people that made up the student council; one of them was the long orange haired girl that called Lelouch over to the chem class, her name is Shirley Fenette. Next to her on her left side was a blue haired boy by the name of Rivalz Cardemonde. On Shirley's right side, was a girl with long blond hair who went by the name of Milly Ashford who is also the President of the student council. Finally off in the corner of the room sitting at a computer was a girl with black hair and had glasses on, her name is Nina Einstein.
"Hey guys what's up?" Lelouch asked as the others turned their heads to him and greeted him. "Oh hey here is our new member Kallen Stadtfeld." He finished as he pointed at Milly "Kallen this Milly Ashford."
"Hello Kallen." Milly said
Lelouch then pointed towards Rivalz "This is Rivalz Cardemonde, our secretary."
"Hey," Rivalz said
Lelouch then pointed to Shirley "This here is Shirley Fenette also another member of the student council."
"Hi." Shirley
Lelouch then pointed to Nina "And over there on the computer is Nina Eistein." He said
"H-hello," Nina said somewhat shyly.
"It's a pleasure to meet all of you." Kallen said
Lelouch then noticed that they are watching the news. "Hey what's on the news?" He asked
"I don't know," Milly said "it seems Prince Clovis has called the press together for something big." She finished as Clovis appeared on the screen.
"To all loyal Britannians, Honorary Britannians, and Elevens it is with great regret that I prince Clovis am stepping down as Viceroy." He finished as everyone including Lelouch were shocked at the news. "My brother fourth Prince Davis li Britannia and second Prince Cornelia li Britannia will be taking my place as Viceroy of Area 11. Although my sister is not here, my brother Davis would like to speak." He finished as Clovis stepped down and Davis stood on the podium.
"To all members of Area 11," Davis said "it is an honor for me to take command of Area 11. As my first act of being Viceroy, I proclaim that until further notice the Shinjuku ghetto is now off limits to everybody that is all." He finished as he stepped down and made his way out.
"Brother," a voice behind Lelouch said. When Lelouch turned to see who it was he saw Nunnally
"Yes Nunnally?" Lelouch asked
"It's time to go," Nunnally said "our ride is here."
"Ride?" Milly asked as everyone was looking at Lelouch "where are you both going?"
"Nunnally and I have something important to do as of today," Lelouch said "We will probably be gone for a couple of days so I'll see you guys later." He finished as he and Nunnally exited the room.
"Huh who was that?" Kallen asked
"Oh that was Nunnally," Milly said "she's Lelouch's sister and honorary member of the student council."
Kallen then looked at her watch "I also have to go;" she said "I am not feeling too well so I may stay home tomorrow." She finished as she left the room
Shirley looked at Milly "What was that about?" she asked as Milly just shrugged.
Scene Break:
Outside, Lelouch, Nunnally, and Sayoko were heading to a black Dodge Charger waiting for them. Leaning against the passenger seat was Commander Chase. Because Ryu and Kira would stand out of place, they sent Commander Chase to take them sense he looked like a Britannian.
"Hey," Chase said "been waiting for you." He finished as he approached the group "Here let me help you with your bags." He said as he took the bags Lelouch and Sayoko were holding and put them into the back while Lelouch and Sayoko helped Nunnally into here seat.
"So how are we going to get into Shinjuku?" Lelouch asked as he got into the front seat while Sayoko entered the back to watch Nunnally "we just found out the entire area has been locked down, we can't get in."
Chase got into the front after loading Nunnally's wheelchair "Don't worry," he said "I have my ways." He finished as he started the car and made their way toward Shinjuku.
Scene Break:
Back at the camp, Kira, Ryu, May, Midori and the others were preparing for the arrival of the shuttles that would arrive. The area was almost completely packed with people who wanted to leave Shinjuku.
"Where are they?" Kira asked "They should have been here already."
"Don't worry Kira," Ryu said "They'll be here soon."
May looked up into the sky "Look, here they come." She said as 15 white shuttles began to descend with two mobile suits carrying a large container of some sorts following behind them.
The mobile suit on the right side of the container was blue and red. It had red energy wings in the back with a blue sword, a green cannon, and a beam rifle. On its left arm was a shield. The mobile suit on the left side of the container was a black version of the Strike Freedom with it being colored black in the blue areas and gray in the white.
"The Destiny and the Strike Valor here?" Ryu said surprised to see those two suits arrive with the shuttles as they landed onto the ground. As soon as the suits touched the ground they both turned gray and the cockpits of the suits opened up to reveal two pilots lowering themselves down to the ground. The Destiny's pilot was wearing a red pilot suit while the Strike Valor was wearing a black suit. Both of them approached the group, when they got to the group they took off their helmets to reveal that the pilots of the machines were Shinn and Jay.
"Shinn? Jay?" Kira said shocked to see them "What are you two doing here?"
"We're your guys back up," Jay said as he looked at Midori "so this is the girl you adopted she looks so adorable." He finished as Midori blushed at the comment.
"Lolicon," Shinn said under his breath.
"What was that Shinn?" Jay asked as he turned to look at Shinn
"You heard me…" Shinn said
Both of them were about to duke it out against each other when something green flew right past them and landed into Kira's hand. This thing was a green mechanical bird that was given to her by one of her best friends who died to early.
"Birdy…"the mechanical bird said as it moved its head a little.
Kira smiled "Hello Birdy…" she said as Midori looked at the bird with awe.
"Kira-mama what's that?" Midori asked
"This Midori is Birdy," Kira said "this was given to me by a friend of mine."
Jay and Shinn began to pale at the sight of the green mechanical bird. "If Birdy is here…" Shinn said
"Then that means…" Jay said as a red and pink blur appeared out of nowhere and began to hop on the both of their heads. They both were two balls with flapping wings. One was red while the other was pink. The red one was jumping on Shinn's head while the pink one was jumping on Jay's head. These little devices of annoyance were called Haro's.
"Haro, Haro." Both of them said as they began to jump on the heads of their victims. They both then jumped off their victims heads and proceeded to jump all around with Jay chasing the pink Haro while Shinn chased the red Haro.
"Those idiots…" May said as she sighed while Kira, Ryu, and Midori laughed at the scene.
"Even after all these years those two haven't changed a bit," a voice said behind them when the four of them looked, they saw Lacus wearing a white dress and had a blue Haro in her hands.
"Hello Lacus," Kira said as she smiled at one of her best girlfriends.
"Hello Kira," Lacus said as the blue Haro jumped out of her hands and landed in Midori's hands.
"Haro, what's your name?" the blue Haro asked
"Midori…"Midori said
"Midori," the blue Haro said as he jumped out of her hands "I like it, I like it." The blue Haro yelled as he jumped all around Midori while she tried to catch it.
Kira, Ryu, and the others laughed at this as Jay and Shinn approached Lacus both had their Haros in their hand.
"Lacus I think this is yours." They both said as the same time as they handed the Haros to Lacus.
"Thank you." Lacus said as she took the Haros
"Ryu!" A voice called out to the distance. When the group looked at to where the voice came from they saw Ohgi walking with Inoue and Minami.
"Ohgi," Ryu said "is there something you need?"
"Yeah," Ohgi said "our group took a vote and we would like to go with you. Most of our group is here except we are just waiting for Kallen."
"No need," A voice called out to them. When the group looked to see who it was, they saw Kallen in her resistance uniform approach and had a backpack strapped over her right shoulder them.
"Kallen what took you so long?" Ohgi asked
"I had to give my parents and excuse as to where I am going," Kallen said "plus I had to sneak past the Britannian military, they are guarding all the roads into the ghetto." She finished as everyone became shocked at the news.
"That's not good," Kira said "hopefully Chase can get past them." She finished as she noticed that some people of the resistance group were missing "Hey Ohgi where's Tamaki and the others?" she asked
"They said they wanted to take a walk so I let them." Ohgi said
"Well someone needs go get them," Ryu said "the service is about to start soon. "
"I'll go get them," Jay said volunteering said as he began to walk "it shouldn't be too hard to find them. I'll I have to do is follow the sound of bickering and cursing." He finished as everyone laughed at that comment.
Scene Break:
"Now what are we supposed to do now genius?" Lelouch said as he looked through a pair of binoculars Chase gave him. They were parked a mile away from the entrance that Chase had taken when getting out of the ghetto. When Chase had left, no one was guarding it. Now, 4 guards with SMGs were guarding the road with two Sutherlands on each side. "The road is guarded now, how are we supposed to get into the ghetto now?"
"Have you ever heard of Mirage Colloid?" Chase asked as he pressed a button on the car's dash board.
"No why?" Lelouch asked as Chase floored the gas pedal "What the hell are you doing?" he yelled
"What's it look like," Chase said "I'm flooring it."
"Why are we moving, we're going to be seen by the troops." Lelouch said
"No we aren't." Chase said
Lelouch saw that they were about to approach the troops line of sight "I can't watch." He said as he closed his eyes expecting the end. However when he didn't hear any gun shots, he looked up to see that they had passed the troops without any fuse.
"Brother is everything alright?" Nunnally asked as Sayoko just looked claim as ever.
"Yeah," Lelouch said "everything is fine." He finished as he looked at Chase "What the hell just happened?" he asked
"Mirage Colloid is a type of stealth system that allows the user to become virtually invisible, how else would the Generals be able to sneak into your room without anybody knowing?" Chase finished leaving Lelouch shocked at what he was hearing.
Scene Break:
Back with Suzaku and Euphie, both of them were looking at one of the damage areas within Shinjuku.
"The Shinjuku ghetto," Suzaku said as he looked at the wrecked area "ruined again… the residents were even starting to return too." He finished as he look at the area in confusion "That's strange…"he said
"What's strange?" Euphie asked
"I was expecting to see memorials around here but I don't see any at all." Suzaku said
"Man, they didn't use R-G's on the elevens I figured they wouldn't." A voice said behind Suzaku and Euphie. When both of them looked at the source they saw two students taking pictures of the battle field. One of them had a bandana on while the other one had blue hair.
"Hey look," the blue hair boy said "those are marks from hummer rounds get a clear shot of it."
"Say cheese," the bandana boy said as he took the photo. "Got it ok me next." He said not caring about what happened to the people here. This made Euphie sad. Just then Tamaki and two other people entered the area. When Tamaki saw what they were doing, he ran up to them and knocked the camera out of his hand.
"Get out of here you Britannian basters!" Tamaki said scaring the two boys
"Ah," Euphie said scared of the situation
"Stay here," Suzaku said as he ran towards the situation.
"How dare a lowly eleven speak to…" the boy in the bandana said before being interrupted by Tamaki
"Don't call me an eleven… I'm Japanese." Tamaki yelled as the bandana boy began to back away.
"Wrong," the other boy said "you seem to forget you people lost. You're nothing but a beaten dog."
Tamaki clenched his fist in anger "You racist pig." He said ready for a fight.
"Stop it please no violence." Suzaku said as he ran towards the group.
"Stay out of this!" Tamaki yelled as he backhanded Suzaku making the sunglasses on his face off.
"What the?" Someone said as everyone was shocked to see a Japanese person. "Oh it's just an Honorary Britannian."
"Ha, this guy's nothing more than a slave," Tamaki said as he looked at Suzaku while Suzaku looked at him "Big deal, you're an Honorary Britannian. Nobody cares. You sold your pride, your people, your soul, yet you call yourself Japanese." He said as Suzaku's eyes widened.
"No your wrong… I" Suzaku said before being interrupted by Tamaki.
"I am not wrong you stinking Britannian lapdog!" Tamaki roared as he prepared to punch Suzaku and Suzaku prepared to intercept the attack but before either of them made a move someone appeared out of nowhere grabbing both Tamaki's and Suzaku's arm.
"Enough of this!" the person who grabbed them said. When the other's looked to see who the person was, they saw Jay grabbing Tamaki's and Suzaku's arm with no problem.
"Y-your Jay Ryosukei…" Tamaki said shocked to see one of the leading members of Terminal here.
Jay nodded his head as he let both Tamaki's and Suzaku's hands go. Jay then looked at the Tamaki and the two other members of the resistance "I have been looking for you guys, the service is about to start so you better hurry."
Tamaki nodded his head "Right come on guys," he said as both he and the others left but not before Tamaki muttered "Traitor." Under his breath as the three of them left.
Jay then turned to the two students "You two beat it!" He yelled
"How dare…" the student in the bandana said before being interrupted by Jay.
"Beat it now!" Jay roared as the two students ran away scared for their lives. He then turned to see that Suzaku and Euphie were looking at him.
"Who are you?" Suzaku asked
Jay studied the two people in front of them. Because Jay had briefly studied the politics of Japan and Britannia, he recognized the two people in front of him. The boy was Suzaku Kururugi, the son of the late Prime Minister Genbu Kururugi and the girl was Princess Euphemia li Britannia, Third Princess of Britannia and sister to Cornelia and Davis. Euphemia surprisingly looked similar to Lacus except she had violet eyes instead of blue-gray like Lacus.
"The names Jay, Jay Ryosukei," Jay said "and I already know who you two are Suzaku Kururugi, son of former Prime minister Genbu Kururugi, and Princess Euphemia li Britannia third princess of the Britannian empire." He finished shocking the two of them.
Suzaku looked at Euphie "Euphie… you're a princess?" he asked shocked as Euphie nodded her head. Suzaku then turned back to Jay "What do you mean service… what service?"
Jay turned around preparing to walk away "I don't have to answer questions to someone who betrays his country." He said
Suzaku for some reason snapped at this comment and charged Jay "I'm not a traitor!" he roared as he prepared to punch Jay but Jay grabbed his arm and twisted bring Suzaku to the ground.
"Yes you are," Jay said "it's just like he said you are a traitor to your country no matter what you say."
"Please stop," Euphie said not liking the violence
Jay got off of Suzaku "Sense the lady asked nicely I'll do it and as to what service were holding it's a funeral service to all those that died in the battle." He finished as he prepared to leave.
"Wait!" Euphie yelled making Jay stop "Can we please go with you?"
Jay turned his head towards toward Euphie "Why?" he asked
"I want to pay my respects," Euphie said as tears appeared in her eyes "they didn't have to die… it was because of what we Britannians did that they had to suffer."
Jay just looked at her for a few seconds before turning his head and began to walk "Fine," he said "but you stay with me." He finished as he began to leave with Suzaku and Euphie following right behind him.
Scene Break:
Back at the camp site, Kira, Ryu and everybody else was preparing for the service.
"Where the hell is Chase?" Ryu said as he was waiting for them with Midori holding his hand "he should have been here by now."
Kira shrugged "How should I now?" she said as she saw the Dodge Charger pull up a few feet away. "Oh there he is."
"Better tell them to stay where they are." Ryu said as he and Midori walked over to where they were.
Scene Break:
Lelouch got out of the car and dropped onto the ground. "I am not riding in a car with you again!" he said as he began to pant.
"It wasn't that bad," Chase said as Sayoko helped Nunnally out of the car.
"You ran through three fences!" Lelouch yelled
"It was the fastest way to get here." Chase said as Ryu and Midori approached them "hey General…"
"Where were you guys?" Ryu asked "the funeral is about to start."
Chase rubbed the back of his head "Sorry General," he said "we had some trouble…"
"Whatever," Ryu said as he looked at Lelouch while Midori hid behind Ryu "hey Lelouch how are you and Nunnally?"
"Other than getting almost getting killed by the Speed Demon here," Lelouch said pointing at Chase "Nunnally and I are fine." He finished as Nunnally and Sayoko approached the three of them.
Ryu nodded his head "That's good," he said "hey you mind staying here; many of the Japanese people may get upset with your presents…no offense."
Lelouch shook his head "None taken," he said "I would be upset if our situation was like theirs."
"Thanks," Ryu said as he saw Lacus come up with a microphone in her hands with Kira near a piano that the shuttles brought and May with a violin in her hands. "Look! It's about to start…" he finished as Lacus began to speak.
Scene Break:
Jay, Euphie, and Suzaku stopped a few feet away from where the service was taking place. Euphie and Suzaku were shocked to see all these people at the service.
"Look at all these people." Euphie said as she saw all the people.
"Well stay here," Jay said "we wouldn't want to anger the Japanese people with an honorary Britannian nor a Britannian princess." He finished as he noticed Lacus begin to talk with a microphone in her hand. "Looks like the show is about to begin…" he said
Scene Break:
"Hello everyone," Lacus said as she looked out to the crowd "as you all know during the battle of Shinjuku many innocent people died. Each of these people was loved by many from friends to families to lovers. Even though they are gone now, they are now in a better place in which each and every one of you will be able to see in the future." She said as the crowed began to nod toward her. "To honor all the lives that were lost here, here is a song that I will sing to them." She finished as she nodded toward Kira and May as both of them began to play their musical instruments.
(Fields of Hope: Preformed by Tanaka Rie)
"Konna ni tsumetai tobari no fukaku de,"(Beneath a veil so cold,)Lacus sang as everyone present was surprised that the song was sung in their native Japanese language.

"yakusoku no nohara"(The fields of promise)
"Fields of hope"
"Fields of hope"
Lacus sang as Kira and May played in an ending finish ending the beautiful song.
Scene Break:
When the song ended, everyone was in silence over the beautiful song. That silence ended when someone began to clap. The person who was clapping was Tamaki; he was clapping with tears in his eyes at how beautiful the song was. Following his example, everyone in Shinjuku began to clap at the song in praise towards Lacus.
"Thank you everyone," Lacus said "I hoped you have enjoyed this service, I am sorry that we must end this service now but we must begin transporting all the people of Shinjuku out. The reason why is because it will take around 20 hours to evacuate all of you and we need to get all of you out before the Britannian army attacks. The injured will go first and then it will be women and children, please prepare in an orderly fashion." She finished as everyone broke out to get ready for departure.
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, with Suzaku, Euphie, and Jay, all three of them had tears in their eyes after the song ended.
"T-that was a beautiful song." Euphie said as she wiped the tears out of her eyes.
Jay then proceeded to walk towards the crowd of people "You two better hurry and get back home before someone worries about you." He said as both Suzaku and Euphie nodded their heads and made their way out. "Oh and one more thing," Jay said making Suzaku and Euphie stop in their tracks "if I see you on the battle field I won't hesitate to shoot you pilot of the Lancelot." He finished shocking Suzaku.
'How does he know I pilot the Lancelot?'Suzaku thought as he watched Jay leave. Just then the R&D transport truck approached them.
"Suzaku," Cecile said as she exited the passenger seat "we just got orders from Prince Davis, all military units are supposed to return to base." She finished as Suzaku nodded his head and turn to Euphie.
"Need a lift?" Suzaku asked as Euphie nodded her head.
"We can't bring your girlfriend with us." Lloyd said from the driver's seat.
"She's Princess Euphemia Britannia Lloyd." Suzaku said
"Well that changes everything," Lloyd said as he looked at all of the mobile suits "I would sure like to see what makes those Knightmares tick." He finished as he drove off back towards the base.
Scene Break:
Back with Ryu and the others. Lelouch like all the others had tears in his eyes at how beautiful the song was.
"What a beautiful song," Nunnally said as she wiped the tears from her closed eyes "the person who sang it must be really good."
Lelouch wiped the tears out of his eyes "Yeah Nunnally," he said "she really is good."
"Well we better hurry," Ryu said "the others are waiting for us." He finished as Lelouch nodded his head as the group made its way down. When they got down, they saw Kira, May, and Lacus talking to the resistance fighters.
Kira smiled as she saw them approach "Here they come," she said as the group made their way down. When Lelouch looked at the group he was somewhat surprised to see a woman with pink hair. She somewhat looked like his half-sister Euphie but this person had gray-blue eyes.
"Hey where's Jay?" Ryu asked the group
"Don't know," Shinn said "I'll go see where he is."
"No need," Jay said from behind Shinn
"Where were you?" Ryu asked
"I got side tracked." Jay said
Kallen was shocked at who she was seeing "Lelouch," she said "what are you doing here?" she asked
Lelouch smiled "It's good to see you again Q-1." He said shocking Kallen.
Kallen pointed at Lelouch "You," she said "you were the one who helped us in the beginning."
Lelouch was about say something before Tamaki grabbed his shirt's collar
"So you are the one who helped us?" Tamaki asked
"Yes," Lelouch said
"I just got one thing to say." Tamaki said as he brought his fist back
Lelouch closed his eyes expecting the punch, but when he didn't feel the punch he opened his eyes to see that Tamaki let go of his shirt and had his hand out.
"Thanks," Tamaki said not looking at Lelouch "if it wasn't for you I guess we would be dead right about now."
Lelouch looked at the hand for few seconds before taking it and shaking it "No problem." He said
"Now back on track," May said getting everyone's attention "The first people that should go are those that are still injured then it should be women and children. Because I am a doctor I will have to go with them during the first trip. So that means 76 spots are taken leaving 74 spots open." She finished as she looked at Kira and Nunnally "I recommend that Kira, Midori, and Nunnally be with the first group because of Kira's pregnancy and Nunnally's condition. Plus I can run a test to see Nunnally's condition." She said as she looked at Lelouch "with your permission of course."
Lelouch nodded his head "I will allow it if Sayoko goes with you." He said "I'll come up with one of the later groups."
Ryu nodded his head "Alright if that's the plan let's get started," he said as he looked at Jay and Shinn "Shinn, Jay I need to talk to for a sec." he finished as he began to walk in a direction with Jay and Shinn following behind him while the others separated to accomplish their goals.
Scene Break:
At the Britannian royal airport, Euphemia, Davis, and Clovis were waiting for the arrival for their sister/half-sister to arrive. Just then a jet came into view and landed on the runway. From the jet, two men exited one was a burly man with brown hair, black eyes, and scar on his face. The other man was slender who had light blue eyes and black hair and was wearing glasses. Both of these men were wearing a special uniform at represented Cornelia's forces. These two men were Andreas Darlton and Gilbert G.P. Guilford, two of Cornelia's most trusted man. After they both got off the plane, a woman with dark pink and indigo eyes exited the plane. She was wearing the same type of uniform like Darlton and Guilford except it was more regal like royal robs. This woman was Cornelia li Britannia, older sister to Davis and Euphemia li Britannia.
"Good evening sister," Euphie, Clovis, and Davis said in unison as they bowed respectfully towards Cornelia.
"Good evening," Cornelia said "is everything ready for tomorrow's operation?"
Davis nodded his head "Yes," he said "everything will be ready for tomorrows attack on Shinjuku." He finished as he noticed that a few people were missing "Where are the Glaston Knights?" he asked
"They will be arriving later on tonight," Cornelia said as Davis nodded his head "Excellent job Davis, by tomorrow morning, this enemy of the empire will be finished."
Scene Break:
That very next morning, Suzaku got up at around 9:45 and prepared himself for the attack in Shinjuku. After getting ready he walked towards the hanger bay towards the Lancelot. While walking, he began to think about the plan that Davis thought up.
Flashback:
Suzaku was walking towards one of the meeting chambers; he had just got back to the base when he was called by Prince Davis himself to join an important meeting. When he got there, he saw Prince Davis and man Turquoise hair and yellow eyes in the room. On one of the screens, Cornelia was on it talking to the two of them.
"Ah Warrant Officer Kururugi," Davis said "I am glad to see that you made it." He said as he pointed toward the Turquoise haired man "This is Jeremiah Gottwald, leader of the Purist faction, and on the screen is my dear sister Cornelia li Britannia. Cornelia, Jeremiah, I like you to meet Warrant Officer Suzaku Kururugi."
"It is a pleasure to meet the both of you." Suzaku said as he bowed in respect towards them.
Jeremiah turned towards Davis "Is there a reason why an Eleven is a part of this meeting?" he asked coldly
"I agree brother," Cornelia said
"Now, now," Davis said "although he maybe an Honorary Britannian, he was also one of the only ones who made it out of that battle in one piece and he is also the pilot of the seventh generation Knightmare frame Lancelot; I feel that having him on the battle field may tip the battle in our favor."
Cornelia nodded her head "Very well," she said "What is the plan that you have concocted brother?"
Davis brought up a map of Shinjuku "We will have our forces attack in three separate locations," he said as three blimps appeared, one was purple, one was red, and one was orange. "The purple represents you and your forces Cornelia, red represents mine, and orange will represent the Purist faction. Each of our forces will attack in three different sides." He finished as everyone nodded their heads in understanding "Cornelia, you and your forces will attack in the front while I and my forces come in from the left and Jeremiah and the purist faction will come in from the right. Each of our groups will consist of 20 units." He said as each of the blimps moved in the exact way that Davis said "With this plan we will be able to achieve victory. Also we want to capture the lead unit and the others if possible destroy everything else."
Cornelia nodded her head "An excellent plan brother," she said "but how does the Warrant Officer play into this."
"He will be traveling with me and my squad." Davis said shocking Suzaku "He could be useful to me and my squad. Also father has order us to broadcast this fight all over Area 11, he believes that if the rebels see this defeat, their spirit will be crushed. "
Cornelia nodded her head "Understood, I will see you in a few hours Davis." She said as she ended the meeting.
Flashback End:
Suzaku was then brought out of his flashback as he entered into the hanger bay to find Davis talking to Lloyd and Cecile.
Davis turned to see Suzaku "Oh Warrant Officer," he said "so glad you are here I was just talking to Lloyd here about the Lancelot's new weapons."
Lloyd looked at Suzaku "As I was telling Prince Davis here the Lancelot is now equipped with a new weapon known as Maser Vibration Sword or MVS for short," he explained "this weapon uses a combination of extremely high oscillation rates and temperatures in order to increase the cutting effectiveness of the weapon, even though it is gray now, it will turn into a red color when in use. The Lancelot is equipped with two of them."
Suzaku nodded his head "Understood," he said "when do we leave?"
"We're supposed to leave now, so let's go," Davis said as he approached his black and white Gloucester, unlike his other forces, he used a Gloucester like Cornelia does.
Suzaku nodded his head as he got into the Lancelot and started the frame up. "Lancelot launching!" he said as he dashed out of the base followed by Davis and his troops. After driving for a half an hour, they met up with Cornelia's forces and the Purist faction's forces.
"Does everyone know the plan?" Cornelia asked
"Yes Milady/Sister," Everyone said
"Then go and do your job." Cornelia said
"Yes your Highness/Yes Sister." Everyone said as Cornelia's forces continued to go straight while Davis and his group went left and the Purist faction went right.
Scene Break:
All over Japan, a broadcast was spread all across Japan.
"Attention all members of Area 11," the lead reporter while inside a helicopter said "under orders by the Holy Emperor, we have been ordered to broadcast a very special news bulletin, today, Viceroys Cornelia and Davis li Britannia along with the Purist faction are leading an attack force against the resistance group located in Shinjuku. I along with two other reporters will be broadcasting live at the scene to give you a full update of the situation." The reporter finished as the scene changed to that of the Cornelia, Davis, and the Purist faction going through three different directions within the Shinjuku ghetto
Many different people were watching the report. At Ashford Academy, the four remaining members of the student council were watching the report with some interest.
At the secret hideout of the Japan Liberation Front, a man with black hair and black eyes along with four of his subordinates were watching the news with narrowing eyes.
At Mt. Fuji, two people were watching the broadcast with some interest and sadness at how the battle would progress. One of these people was an old bald man wearing a brown and tan kimono while the other one was a young girl who had black hair and green eyes wearing priestess cloths.
And at the TV station, a producer with sandy brown hair and brown hair watched the action like it's nothing new, knowing how the battle would turn out.
Unfortunately, everyone who was watching would have their world turned upside down.
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, back at the camp, the trips back to the Valhalla were going smoothly. So far no one from the Britannian military interfered with any of the transport shuttles. In fact this was the last shuttle that was loading the last amount of civilians in Shinjuku.
"Well this seems like it's going well," Ryu said as he, Shinn, Jay, Lelouch, and the resistance fighters were watching the scene.
Ohgi nodded his head "Yeah," he said "after they load the last of the civilians it's our turn." He finished as Commander Chase approached them.
"General," Chase said as he approached them "we have a situation."
"What's the matter Commander?" Ryu asked
"We just got a report," Chase said "Britannian forces are making their move." He said as everyone tensed "They have broken off into three groups coming towards us from different points. Leading two of the groups are Prince Davis and Princess Cornelia."
Ryu nodded his head as he looked at Jay and Shinn "Well looks like you two were right," he said as he looked back towards Chase. "How much time do you need?"
"We need at least 15 to 20 minutes in order to finish loading everything." Chase said "What should we do?"
"Don't worry we have a plan. You guys should just finish getting the people out of here as well as loading all the equipment." Ryu finished as the three of them began to leave the group.
"H-hold on," Tamaki said "the three of you can't fight them all by yourself."
Jay looked back at them "Don't worry about us," he said "we can handle this." He finished as the three of them left to prepare for the fight.
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, the Purist faction was traveling down one of the roads towards the camp site.
"Ah, nothing smells sweeter than the sweet smell of combat in the morning." Jeremiah said in his Sutherland as 19 Sutherlands followed him.
"I agree Lord Jeremiah," a dark-skinned pilot said, this person was Villetta Nu, one of Jeremiah's most trusted soldiers.
"Do you think these new Knightmare frames will be able to take us on Lord Jeremiah?" a man with light brown hair and blue eyes said, this was Kewell Soresi, another one of Jeremiah's most trusted soldiers.
"I don't know," Jeremiah said "but we, the Purist faction, will show them who they are dealing with."
"Understood my Lord," Kewell said as he detected a heat source from above. "Lord Jeremiah, a heat source from above."
"What?" Jeremiah said as 5 green energy beams came down from the sky and took out 5 Sutherlands. The group came to a stop as the Destiny came down from the sky and drew its MMI-714 Arondight anti-ship sword and pointed it towards the Sutherlands.
"And just who the hell are you?" Jeremiah asked over the com as he and the others prepared for battle.
"Me," Shinn said on the same line "I'm Shinn Asuka, the Guardian of Destiny!" he roared as he charged the group.
Scene Break:
While that was happening, Davis, Suzaku, Commander Calista, and his men were traveling down another area when black missiles appeared out of now where.
"Missiles shoot them down," Davis ordered as he and those who had guns began to fire at them. But instead of exploding or being shot down, these missiles dodged all of their shots and proceeded to come in close. When they were in close, each of the missiles fired green beam energy blasts at them, destroying many of the Sutherlands when the blasts made impact.
"What the hell are these things?" Davis roared as he, Suzaku, and Calista were having trouble dodging them. Out of the entire group, only he, Suzaku, Calista and 5 others survived the attack out of 20 units, everyone else was down and out. The Black missiles went back into the sky and towards the Strike Valor as they reattached to his wings as the Strike Valor landed onto the ground in front of them.
"Are you the one who did this?" Davis asked as he, Suzaku, Calista and the rest of his men prepared to fight against the enemy.
"Yeah," Jay said as he took out the Valor's two beam swords each glowing a pink color "the names Jay, Jay Ryosukei, and as the Warrior of Valor, I won't let any of you past!" he roared as he prepared for a fight.
Scene Break:
Back with Cornelia, She, Darlton, Guilford, the Glaston Knights, and 13 Sutherlands were going straight through the main road when Darlton detected something on his radar. "My lady," he said "we are detecting something coming at us at high speed."
"Is it a Knightmare transport?" Cornelia asked
"Negative," Guilford said as he looked at the radar "it's too small to be a Knightmare transport." He finished as a jet with blade like wings flew right by them at high speed. The speed was so fast that it made 7 Sutherlands flew back, landing on their sides and back forcing them to eject.
"What the?" Cornelia said as she looked at the jet fly over them "A jet fighter?"
The jet then transformed into a Mobile suit; the appearance of the suit had the body of the Cherudim Gundam SAGA with the head of the Dynames and had two blade-like wings on its back.
"A transforming Knightmare frame?" Darlton said in shock
"And just who the hell are you?" Cornelia asked as she and her remaining men prepared for battle.
"I'm General Ryu Yamato also known as the Dragon of Redemption." Ryu said as he began to remember the plan in which Jay and Shinn came up with.
Flashback:
Ryu, Jay, and Shinn were next to the Destiny, Strike Valor, and the steel container that they brought with them.
"So what is the reason as to why you are down here?" Ryu asked
Jay and Shin looked at each other before turning back to Ryu "We came up with a theory from the data we gained from information about Davis and Cornelia that they will plan on a triple attack on us tomorrow." Jay explained "Cornelia and Davis will be leading two of the groups."
"Who would be leading the third group?" Ryu asked
"According to information we believe that a group known as the Purist faction will also be a part of the attack." Shinn explained "We even predicted the routs in which they will take."
"What are the routs?" Ryu asked
"We have determined that Cornelia will take the main road while Davis and his men will take the left and the Purist faction will take the right." Jay explained "that is why the three of us will each take a route and hold them off until the last shuttle and pickup ships leave and sense our suits can leave orbit we can just follow the ships up into space."
Ryu nodded his head in understanding of the plan "Good idea," he said "but my Vanguard can't exit the atmosphere."
Jay got up and went to the control panel for the container "Which is why we brought this." Jay said as he imputed a code and pressed a button. From there, the container opened up to reveal Ryu's personal machine.
"The Dragon's Redemption…" Ryu said shocked to see his own personal mobile suit here "I see… so who gets who?"
"I will get the Purist faction," Shinn said as he pounded his right fist into his left palm "those guys remind me too much of how the EA and Librarian use to act."
"I plan on taking on Davis and his forces," Jay said "We also estimated that the experimental unit will be a part of his forces as well… so I want to see how well he fights."
Ryu nodded his head "Then I guess I will have to handle Cornelia and her forces then." He said "we better get some sleep, if they do attack us we are going to need all the energy we can." Ryu finished as the others nodded their heads. They then left to go and get some sleep knowing that a battle would happen the next day.
Flashback End:
'I sure hope we can hold them off for twenty minutes.' Ryu thought as he drew the Dragon's Redemption's two Regent class beam pistols ready for a fight.
Scene Break:
Back at the camp site, Commander Chase was ordering the men to load up the mobile suits and equipment.
"Let's go," Chase said as he watched one of the Vanguards enter one of the transports "we need to continue to load all equipment up." He finished as he walked toward another area to see how the work was progressing. Unknown to him or any other person there, a green haired girl in a strait jacket entered the ship with the loaded Vanguards.
'Let's see where they are going…'she thought as the ship began to lift up into the air.
Scene Break:
Shinn charged the group of 15 Sutherlands bring his sword down and bisecting two Sutherlands in half. A Sutherland then launched its Slash Harkens toward the Destiny but Shinn just brought up the Destiny's left arm and activated the Palma Fiocina palm beam cannon and destroyed the Slash Harkens. He then brought out his beam rifle and shot the Sutherland in the leg making it keel over. Shinn then noticed that 5 of them were charging towards him. He then put away his sword and drew his two Flash-Edge 2 beam boomerang and threw them at the group. The beam boomerangs cut right through the group of Sutherland's legs like a hot knife through butter.
"Were getting pulverized out here," Kewell said observing the situation as Shinn was fighting against 4 Sutherlands and was winning. "Lord Jeremiah what do we do?"
Jeremiah observed the situation and noticed that there were two building next to them and so he came up with a plan "Kewell, Villetta, you two scale the buildings I'll distract him." He said
"Yes my Lord," they both said as they did their job.
Shinn was so busy chopping the enemy in half that he didn't even notice the two. After destroy one of the last remaining Sutherlands with his Palma Fiocina palm beam cannon, he noticed one of them was just standing there waiting. Deciding to act, Shinn charged the Sutherland, preparing to destroy it with his palm beam cannon.
"Take this!" Shinn yelled as he charged the Sutherland.
"Kewell, Villetta, launch your Slash Harkens now!" Jeremiah ordered as the two pairs of Slash Harkens appeared from above and grabbed the Destiny's arms and tied them up. Up above on two opposite buildings, Villetta and Kewell had tied up the Destiny with their Sutherlands Slash Harkens.
"What?" Shinn asked as he tried to break free from the Slash Harkens.
"Well it seems we got you," Jeremiah said as he brought up the lance he had brought with him "I don't think the Engineering Corps would mine having you in two pieces." He finished as he prepared to have the lance go right through the stomach of the Destiny.
Shinn gritted his teeth as a red seed appeared in his right eye before exploding as his eyes dilated.
Scene Break:
Meanwhile with Jay, after using the Strike Valor's DRAGOON's, he decided to go for melee combat for the time being. He charged two Sutherlands with his beam sabers in hand and sliced through both of them by cutting off both of their legs. Noticing that three of them were charging towards him, Jay then threw his right beam saber into the air and used his now freed hand to grab something from a compartment in his suits left shoulder. He then drew three combat knifes and threw them at the three Sutherlands. Each one of the knives impacted in different areas, one impacted a Sutherlands head, the other in the chest, and the last one in the left shoulder. After about three seconds the knives exploded, destroying the Sutherlands. Jay then grabbed his beam saber and proceeded to slice more Sutherlands in half.
Davis gritted his teeth at the destruction. "Were getting slaughtered out here," he said as he watched the Strike Valor rip his team apart.
"My lord I have a plan." Calista said
"What's your plan commander?" Davis asked as he and Suzaku listened
"We launch a smokescreen bomb at the enemy," Calista explained "from there you and I will come up from the sides while the enemy is confused, then Warrant Officer Kururugi will deliver the final blow."
Davis nodded his head "an excellent plan," he said "do you understand the plan Warrant Officer?"
"Yes sir," Suzaku said as Calista launched a smoke bomb towards the Strike Valor.
"What the," Jay said as he noticed that the area was covered in smoke "they must be retreating." He finished as he put his weapons away and prepared to leave when someone grabbed his suits left and right arm. "Huh?" Jay said in confusion as he tried to break free. When the smoke cleared, Jay saw that a Sutherland and a Gloucester were holding onto him and in front of him the Lancelot had one of its swords in its hand and was preparing to bring it down on him.
Jay was in a pinch but then a blue seed appeared in his right eye and his eyes became dilated.
Scene Break:
Meanwhile with Ryu, he used his Regent class beam pistols to shoot down any enemy Sutherland he saw. He was able to disable three Sutherlands before they scattered. The remaining Sutherlands and Gloucester tried to shoot him down but the blasts either didn't hit him or they did no damage. Deciding to go into a melee style of fighting, Ryu put his pistols away and drew his Buster Sword and proceeded to go on the offensive. Ryu charged two Sutherlands as he brought his sword down upon them and sliced them in half. He then decided to charge the other Sutherlands.
"This man… he's a monster…" Guilford said as he saw the damage he was doing to his forces while they couldn't even hit him.
Cornelia gritted her teeth at the situation "Darlton, Guilford, take the Glaston Knights and spread out, I will distract him and lower him into a trap when I give the signal I want you two and the Glaston Knights to launch your Slash Harkens, do you understand?" she asked
"Yes my lady…" They both said as they and the Glaston Knights spread out.
Ryu was finishing the last Sutherland, when Cornelia charged with her lanced out forward. Ryu blocked the blow with his sword and proceeded to block all of Cornelia's blows. Ryu didn't notice that Cornelia was leading them into a trap. When they were in the center of the area, Cornelia sprung her trapped.
"Darlton, Guilford now!" Cornelia ordered as Darlton, Guilford and the Glaston Knights launched all of their Slash Harkens towards Ryu. Each of the Slash Harkens rapped around either the arms or legs of the Dragon's Redemption. Because of this, the Dragon's Redemption dropped his sword.
"Huh?" Ryu said as he tried to get out of the trap.
Cornelia dropped her lance and proceeded to pick up Ryu's Buster Sword "An interesting weapon," she said as she examined the sword "what a fitting end than to be done in by you own weapon." She finished as she prepared to stab Ryu.
Ryu gritted his teeth as a jade colored seed appeared in his right eye but instead of his eyes becoming dilated, his eyes transformed into dragon-slit eyes.
"ROARRRRRRRR!" Ryu yelled as he entered his seed.
Scene Break:
Inside the shuttle, the green haired girl felt three pulses of power surge through her.
'What was that?'the girl thought as she wondered what was causing this pulse. 'This feeling is different than Geass and perhaps more powerful.'
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, at the Imperial palace of the Holy Britannian Empire, Emperor Charles Zi Britannia was talking to young blond haired child. They were both talking when they felt the pulse of power.
"Did you sense that brother?" Charles said as he felt the power
The blond haired child nodded his head "I did indeed brother," he said
"Do you think it involves Geass?" Charles asked
The blond haired child shook his head "No it's different," he said "and perhaps more powerful."
Charles looked at the blond haired child "Do you think it will be a problem to the plan?" he asked
"I don't know;" the blond child said "I don't know."
Neither one of them would suspect that this new power would lead to their plans doom.
Scene Break:
Before Jeremiah knew what hit him, Shinn activated the Destiny's wings of light distracting Jeremiah.
"What?" Jeremiah said as he saw the energy wings.
Shinn then activated the Destiny's M2000GX high-energy long-range beam cannon and fired it at Jeremiah's Sutherland. The blast hit Jeremiah's right side destroying the Sutherland and forcing him to retreat.
"Lord Jeremiah!" Villetta yelled
Shinn then turned the Destiny's head and activated the MMI-GAU26 17.5mm CIWS in its head and shot at Villetta. The impact was so strong that Villetta's Sutherland was forced into auto ejecting.
"Villetta!" Kewell yelled seeing his friend get shot down.
Shinn then used the Destiny's now fired arm and grabbed his beam rifle and aimed it at Kewell. He then let out a shot, destroying the Sutherlands legs forcing Kewell to let go of the Destiny.
"Be happy that all I am doing is distracting you and not aiming to kill you," Shinn said coldly "if it wasn't for that you would have all been destroyed." He finished as the communication system activated and Commander Chase appeared on the line
"General Asuka," Chase said "the last shuttle and transport ships have left the ground you may return."
"Rodger that…" Shinn said as the Destiny took to the sky, leaving the destruction behind him.
Scene Break:
Back with Jay, in order to stop the Lancelot's attack, Jay activated the Strike Valor's MMI-M15E Xiphias 3 rail cannons and shot the Lancelot forcing him back.
Jay then activated the Strike Valor's Palma Fiocina palm beam cannons in his hands and had them facing outward towards the Gloucester and Sutherland that were holding them. The power of the Palma Fiocina palm beam cannons was so strong that it forced the Gloucester and Sutherland's cockpits to automatically activate their ejection systems. This left Jay to fight against the Lancelot.
Jay activated the com system "Hello Traitor…" Jay said
Suzaku's eyes widen "You." He said "you were the one at the funeral."
"That's right," Jay said as he drew one of his beam sabers "and remember how I said I wouldn't hesitate to shoot you." He finished as both he and Suzaku charged each other. When they both reached each other, they passed each other. Neither one of them moved for a few seconds, then the Lancelot's arms fell off and the Lancelot went on its knees and fell flat on its face while the Strike Valor had a small cut on its right cheek.
"I would finish you," Jay said as he approached the down Lancelot "but that's not my objective, my objective was to hold you guys off." He finished as the com went off as Commander Chase appeared on his screen.
"General Ryosukei," Chase said "mission accomplished you may return."
Jay nodded his head and prepared to leave but stopped when he saw the downed MVS sword still in the Lancelot's severed arms.
"I think I'll take this," Jay said as he took the sword and one of the sheaths from the Lancelot "I like this sword." He finished as he went towards the sky.
Scene Break:
"Huh?" Cornelia said as she heard the roar from Ryu "Well no matter." She finished as she brought the sword up.
Cornelia was about to impale the torso of the Dragon's Redemption, when the Dragon's Redemption activated three DRAGOON bits from his shield. Those bits then formed a Light Wave Shield to block the attack.
"What?" Cornelia said shocked at what just happened.
Ryu then launched the 12 DRAGOON fangs from the wings; each of the fangs attacked all of the Gloucesters that were holding onto the Dragon's Redemption. Each of the fangs ripped through them like wet paper.
"Darlton! Guilford!" Cornelia yelled as all of her troops fell. The fangs then went towards her cutting up her Gloucester like it wasn't there. The damage was so bad that the ejection system of her frame didn't even activate. Inside her damaged frame, she watched as the Dragon's Redemption grabbed the Buster Sword and switched it to rifle mode and pointed it towards the destroyed Gloucester.
"F-finish me already…" Cornelia said through the pain she was feeling through her body thanks to the attack.
The Dragon's Redemption then lowered the Buster sword/rifle and put its back. "No," Ryu said as he prepared to leave.
"Are you running away you coward?" Cornelia yelled over the radio trying to hold her pride when in reality she was scared of this unit.
"My objective wasn't to destroy you Cornelia," Ryu said over the frequency "my objective was to stall you; now that my mission's complete I have no reason to continue to fight." He finished as the Dragon's Redemption took to the sky "Until we meet again Cornelia li Britannia." Ryu finished as she flew through the sky while Cornelia passed out from the pain she felt in her body.
Scene Break:
Up inside one of the shuttles, Lelouch and the Resistance fighters were wondering where they were heading.
"So where do you guys think we are going?" Tamaki asked wondering where this shuttle would take them.
Lelouch looked at him "You mean to tell me that you don't even know where we are going?" he asked
Ohgi shook his head "They didn't say." He finished as he began to look at the window and was shocked at what he saw. "Guys take a look at this." He said as everyone went towards the window.
When everyone went towards his window, they saw that instead of white clouds and blue skies, they saw blackness with white dots all over.
Kallen's eyes widened "Space," she said shocked at what they were seeing "we're in space." She finished as the pilot of the shuttle came on the shuttles intercom.
"Attention all passengers," the pilot said "we are preparing to land please take your seats as we make our landing." He finished as the intercom shut down. Everyone then took their seats as they prepared to land.
Scene Break:
As everyone was exiting the Shuttle, Lelouch and the Resistance fighters found themselves floating in midair.
"Hey look I'm flying!" Tamaki yelled as he was soaring through the air. Everyone else was studying where they were. It looked like they were inside a hanger bay of some sorts with a whole bunch of different Knightmare frames in different places. There was also some opening with a protective barrier around the opening. Just then the Destiny, Strike Valor, and Dragon's Redemption entered the hanger bay and landed next to the shuttles. The three suits then turned gray as the torso opened out and out came Shinn, Jay, and Ryu as they took off their helmets.
"Hey Ryu," Ohgi called out to them as he, Lelouch, and the others approached them. "Where the hell are we?"
Ryu smiled at them "I like to welcome you all to the Deep Space Colony Ship Valhalla." He said shocking everyone in front of them.
Chapter End…
Author's Note:
Hey guys, sorry this chapter took so long, I had a few troubles with my computer. Any who I hope you like this chapter. Also if anyone was wondering why Lelouch didn't use Geass on Tamaki when he was about to get punched was because he believes that is broken because it didn't work on Kallen the second time nor did it work on Ryu and Kira.
