Code Geass: Rebirth through Freedom and Redemption Chapter 6: Training Starts: Creation of Demon Squad and Cat Hunt.
Ohgi groaned as he, Lelouch, and the other resistance went down an elevator towards one of the many areas inside the Valhalla. For the past 3 days, they have been in boot camp, training to become fighters of Terminal. Shinn, Jay, and Ryu were their drill coaches and they were tough on them. For the past five days, the group has been trained in hand to hand combat, strength training, shooting, and even simulated piloting while inside a mobile suit style cockpit.
"I wonder what type of training we are going to be doing today." Kallen asked as she rubbed her sore neck.
"I hope it's not hand to hand combat," Lelouch said as he twisted his arm in a clockwise motion "I can still feel the pain from when Jay threw me half way across the training field." He finished as he smiled "Well at least Nunnally has her legs and sight back that much I am happy about." Three days ago, Nunnally took the Nano tech treatment and to Lelouch's relief the treatment worked and Nunnally was able to move both her legs although she would need at least a month worth of rehabilitation in order for her to completely walk.
"You're just complaining that they are harder on you because you're our team's commander and besides you do need the work out." Tamaki said jokingly as the others laughed at that comment. At first Ohgi and the others were a little suspicious of Lelouch especially with his power, but as time went by they decided to trust and become friends with him.
"Oh come on," Lelouch said "so I'm not physically fit, I usually just use my head in a situations not my body. Hey what floor are we traveling to?"
"Well you need to be physically fit as well as being mentally fit if you want to be a soldier let alone a commander." Ohgi said as everyone else nodded their heads in agreement. "And as to what floor we are going to I believe it's the 20th floor."
"The 20th floor," Inoue said "we've never been there before; I wonder what's on this floor?"
"Who knows," Ohgi said as the elevator came to a stop. When it did stop and the elevator opened, everyone shocked and in awe at what they were seeing; inside the very room were all kinds of different types of Mobile suits. There must have been more than a thousand different mobile suits inside there and in the middle of the room, waiting for them, were Ryu, Jay, and Shinn.
Ryu waved to the group "Yo," he said "You guys made it…"
Ohgi looked at the Mobile suits in the room in awe "Look at all these Mobile suits," he said as he looked at all the suits around him and the others. Over the last 3 days, the group learned about the name of the type of weapons they use. "You must have at least a thousand mobile suits here."
"Actually we have 100,000, 10,000 of them are Vanguards," Jay said shocking the others.
"100,000?" Lelouch said "you could take out all of Britannian military in Japan with that type of numbers."
"We could," Shinn said "but if we did, we wouldn't be any better than the Britannians now would we."
Everyone nodded their heads in understanding, if Terminal came in and used force to defeat Britannia and take over, then they would be no better than the Britannians.
"So why did you call us here?" Ohgi asked
"From the data we received from the Mobile suit simulator," Jay said "we have decided to test you skills in actual combat." He said shocking the others.
"Y-you mean…" Kallen said
"Yep," Ryu said "today all of you are going to be piloting actual Mobile suits in simulated combat today."
"Alright!" Tamaki yelled as he was excited to see how well he did while piloting a Mobile suit.
"And because Kallen and Lelouch were the ones who scored the highest out of all the people here, they will be the ones to choose their suit first." Jay said shocking Kallen and Lelouch.
"We got the highest score?" Lelouch said "I can understand Kallen because she has piloted Knightmare frame before but why me, I haven't piloted a Knightmare frame until the battle of Shinjuku…"
Ryu shrugged "Who knows," he said "maybe it's genetic; I mean your mother was known as "Marianne the Flash" for her piloting skill. So go ahead and pick your suits." He finished as Kallen and Lelouch nodded their heads and began to look around the room to choose the new suit they would use.
Kallen looked around the room for a few minutes before coming to a red and white mobile suit with wings on its back.
"I choose this one," Kallen said looking at the machine.
"A Murasame," Jay said looking at the Machine "interesting choice Kallen…"
Lelouch, like Kallen, looked around the room before coming to a black mobile suit. It was similar to Kallen's Murasame but it had a lens cap plate for eyes and had no wings or a "V" crest on its head.
"I'll take this one," Lelouch said looking at said mobile suit.
"A Slaughter Dagger," Shinn said "interesting choice these things use to be a pain to me whenever I had to fight one. Oh I should also tell you that this unit has something called a Striker pack that has some interesting attachments to it if you want to add them to the Slaughter Dagger."
"What types of packs are there?" Lelouch asked
"There's the Aile pack it is mostly built for being versatile meaning it has both close and long range weapons," Shinn said "then there's the Sword pack, this one is mostly built to handle close range battles with almost no close range weapons, the Launcher pack is the opposite of the Sword pack having more long range weapons than close range, the next pack is known as the Lightning pack, it is similar to the Launcher pack except for a beam cannon it has something called an electromagnetic cannon, the final pack is known as IWSP pack, this one is like the Aile pack except it has more close and long range weapons with it. So which one do you want?"
Lelouch thought for a moment before coming to a decision "I'll take the IWSP pack." He said as Shinn nodded his head.
After Lelouch and Kallen choose their suits the others followed suit. Not wanting to copy Kallen and Lelouch, each of them chose a different suit. Ohgi chose a green suit with one eye known as a Slash ZAKU, Tamaki chose a blue version of the ZAKU known as a GOUF Ignited, Inoue chose a blue and gray similar to the Slaughter Dagger suit called the Strike Dagger equipped with a sniper rifle, Minami chose a white version of the Strike Dagger known as the L Dagger; like the Slaughter Dagger, the L Dagger could use different packs so Minami chose a cannon pack known as Doppelhorn pack and attached it to his mobile suit. Sugiyama chose a Windam equipped with a Gatling gun and a beam rifle while Yoshida chose a white suit with one eye known as a CGUE.
Ryu nodded his head as he saw the suits that everyone picked. "Nice chose everyone," he said as he pointed to an entrance to a locker room "I now want you guys to head to that locker room and change to your pilot suits, after that enter your suits and head to that gate over there." He said as he pointed to a gate on the other side of the hanger bay "Once you enter through that door, Lelouch will be given a mission objectives that you all need to fulfill in order to win. Lelouch will then make a plan in which he and the rest of you will use in order for you to win. We will be watching from a command post to see how you guys do in this mission. Do you guy's understand?" he asked as everyone nodded their heads "Then get change and head back here." He finished as everyone besides him, Jay, and Shinn went to the locker room. After they left, the three of them went towards the elevator and entered it.
Scene Break:
After getting changed into their pilot suits and entering their suits, the group made their way towards the gate on the other side of the hanger bay.
"Man these things are harder to move than any of the Knightmare frames I have ever ridden in." Ohgi said as he tried to move his mobile suit with the others not far behind him. The only people who seem to be having no trouble at all were Kallen and Lelouch.
"Hey how come the two of you aren't having any trouble?" Tamaki said over the com
"I don't know," Lelouch said as he moved the Mobile suit in a more controlled matter "I just feel natural while using this machine."
"Same here…" Kallen said as she wasn't having any trouble at all. All eight of them were next to the gate. Just then the gate opened and after the gate opened to revile… the battle damaged area of Shinjuku.
Kallen looked at the battle field with widen eyes as all seven of them entered into the field "This is… Shinjuku… but how did we get here." She said
As soon as all of them entered the field, the gate behind them disappeared.
"Hey the gate disappeared!" Tamaki yelled as he saw the gate disappeared.
Just then, Lelouch received a message from Ryu "Hey guys we have our mission requirements," he said as every one of them began to listen to listen to what Ryu wanted them to do "Our objective is to eliminate as many enemies in the area as possible and to capture the enemy controlled areas. In order for us to capture the enemy's area, we are to destroy the enemy control tower within the area in order to take the area." He said "also if we lose our main base which is where we are standing we lose. Everyone know our objectives?"
Everyone gave an affirming sound "So what's the plan commander?" Ohgi asked
"Minami," Lelouch said "you and Yoshida will stay here and guard the area here; sense you have more artillery fire in your arsenal, you should stay here and protect the area. The rest of us are going to attack the enemy's areas. Because there are three areas under the enemy's control, the rest of us will break up into groups of two. Sugiyama, you and Inoue will take the closes area because neither of your suits can fly. Ohgi, you and Tamaki will take the second closes because Tamaki's GOUF Ignited can fly you and him to the area. As for me and Kallen will take the last area that is far away sense the two of us can fly. Everyone understand the plan and agree to this?" he asked
"Got it." Everyone else said as they all left to a different job that they were assigned to.
Scene Break:
Sugiyama and Inoue were walking in their mobile suits toward the enemy area.
"Boy these things move a lot slower than the Sutherlands or even a Glasgow." Sugiyama said
"I know what you mean," Inoue said as she picked out something from the radar "hold up Sugiyama I'm detecting 10 enemies ahead of us." She finished as the two of them made a stop.
"I see them;" Sugiyama said as he saw the enemy guarding the control tower "it looks like about 5 Gloucesters and 5 Sutherlands, wow these guys are all equipped with rocket launchers."
Inoue then contacted Lelouch "Hey Lelouch," she said "we found the enemy tower but it's being guarded. What do we do?"
"What types of units are guarding the tower?" Lelouch asked
"About 5 Gloucesters and 5 Sutherlands all equipped with rocket launchers." Inoue said
Lelouch thought about the situation for a moment "Inoue your suit has a sniper beam rifle and Sugiyama's unit is equipped with a Gatling gun right?"
Inoue nodded her head "Yes we are," she said "why?"
"Here is the plan," Lelouch said "I want Sugiyama to distract the enemy while attacking with his Gatling gun to attack the enemy while you get to a sniping position and hit the enemies command tower. According to the information I got from Ryu, he said that the enemy will stop functioning when the tower is destroyed. Understand?"
Inoue nodded her head "Understood," she said as she ended the call with Lelouch "Hey Sugiyama here is the plan, you distract the enemy while I destroy the enemy tower with my Sniper rifle."
Sugiyama nodded his head "Got it," he said as he had his Windam jump up from his hiding spot and activated his Gatling gun and proceeded to shoot at all of enemies in front of him. Many of them fell within the first wave of fire. Those who didn't fell began to launch rockets at Sugiyama but he was able to destroy them with his Gatling gun. But as he continued to fire at the enemy in front of him, more Sutherlands and Gloucesters began to appear from the enemy tower and began to swarm him.
"Any day now Inoue," Sugiyama said as his ammo began to run out. Just then a beam blast appeared above him and hit the enemy tower destroying the command signal from the tower. As soon as the tower's signals went down the Gloucesters and Sutherlands stopped in their tracks.
Sugiyama sighed in relief "Nice job Inoue," he said
"Thanks Sugiyama," Inoue said as she had her Strike Dagger jump from her position with her sniper rifle on her back "Now all we have to do is wait for the others." As she and Sugiyama waited for the others to finish their mission.
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, Tamaki was carrying Ohgi to their destination.
"Hey Ohgi why couldn't you pick a machine that could fly?" Tamaki complained
"Quit complaining Tamaki," Ohgi said as an alert appeared in his cockpit "Hey Tamaki in coming."
"What?" Tamaki said as a missile came out of nowhere and hit Tamaki's flight pack. The blast damaged his flight pack and forced Tamaki and Ohgi to crash land.
"Ow," Ohgi said as he brought his ZAKU up "Tamaki why didn't you dodge."
"Me?" Tamaki said as he brought up his GOUF up from the ground "what did I do?"
"You were the one who got hit by the missile." Ohgi said "Anything damaged on your end?"
"Oh man," Tamaki said as he looked at the computer in front of him "that missile took out my flight pack, I can't fly anymore."
"What," Ohgi said "how could your flight system be out, you just got hit by one missile."
"Oh whatever," Tamaki said "how far till we reach the target."
Ohgi looked at the radar "According to the radar, its right in front of us," he said as the ZAKU and GOUF were hiding in a spot away from the enemies view. Guarding the tower were about 20 Gloucesters and 10 Sutherlands. 10 of the Gloucesters were equipped with missile launchers.
"Look at all of them," Tamaki said as he saw how many enemies were in front of him "how are we supposed to get past them?
Before Ohgi could answer that question, Lelouch contacted them.
"Ohgi what's your status?" Lelouch asked
"We have about 20 Gloucesters and 10 Sutherlands guarding our target," Ohgi said "10 of the Gloucesters are equipped with rocket launchers. What do we do?"
"Ok here is the plan," Lelouch said "Ohgi while you distract the enemy, Tamaki will fly up and attack the tower…"
"Yeah Lelouch that's not going to happen," Ohgi said "Tamaki got hit by a missile and it damaged his flight system so now he's grounded."
Lelouch frowned "That's not good," he said "they only option now is for the one of you to charge the enemy and distract them while the other one destroys the tower."
Ohgi nodded his head "Will go with it," he said as he ended his conversation with Lelouch "Hey Tamaki one of us is going to have to charge the enemy."
"What," Tamaki said "One of us has to do that? Why? There has to be a better way for us to do this."
"We don't have a choice Tamaki," Ohgi said "this is the only way for us to get this mission over with."
Tamaki sighed "Fine," he said "I'll be the distraction, but if I die I'm blaming you." He finished as he got out of their hiding spots and charged the enemy. "Hey Britannian scum," he said as he brought up his GOUF's left M181SE Draupnir 4-barrel beam gun "Eat laser!" he yelled as he proceed to shoot at the enemy.
Tamaki took out 5 of the Gloucesters and 5 Sutherlands in that first strike. The others scattered and began to fire at Tamaki. Tamaki brought up the GOUF's shield in order to protect himself from the blast. Tamaki then noticed that 3 Gloucesters were charging him with lances aimed at him, so in order to counter against them; Tamaki brought out his MMI-558 Tempest beam sword and sliced the first Gloucesters arm off while slicing the second's leg off and stabbing the third one in the torso.
"Ha! These guys are nothing compared to a Mobile suit." Tamaki said as he used his as he activated one of his MA-M757 Slayer Whip heat rods and grabbed one of the Sutherlands by the leg and threw him at two Gloucesters making all three of them auto eject. Unfortunately, Tamaki was so busy attacking that he didn't see a Gloucester with a Bazooka sneak up behind him and shoot one of his rockets towards the left leg of the GOUF. The attack hit and destroyed the left leg making the GOUF fall on its back.
"What the?" Tamaki said as he found himself lying on his back. Tamaki then noticed that there were three Gloucesters with lances on top of him. He tried to lift up his right arm but one of the Gloucesters brought his lance down and stabbed the right arm preventing Tamaki from lifting it. Tamaki then tried to bring up the left arm but like the right one of the Gloucesters stabbed his lance into it.
"Oh come on," Tamaki said as he tried to get his GOUF off the ground "can't I get a break." He said as he looked at the third Gloucester and his eyes widen with horror. The third Gloucester was about to stab his lance through the cockpit of the GOUF killing Tamaki. But before the attack could kill him, an explosion at the tower happened destroying it and making all the Knightmare frames around him stop functioning.
"Tamaki are you alright?" Ohgi asked as he had his ZAKU push the three Gloucesters surrounding away from Tamaki.
"I'm fine," Tamaki said "but my suit isn't, they took out both my arms and my left leg so I'm useless now. Hey how did you destroy the tower?"
"I used one of my ZR20E high explosive grenades to destroy the tower." Ohgi said
"Well at least we finished our job," Tamaki said "hope the others are doing ok."
"You said it." Ohgi said as they waited for the others to finish their part of the plan.
Scene Break:
Although Minami and Yoshida were not a part of the frontal assault, that didn't mean they didn't get any action. Over 40 Gloucesters and 20 Sutherlands were charging their position.
"Man they just keep coming," Yoshida said as he activated the CGUE's MMI-M7S 76mm heavy assault machine gun and shot at the a group of Gloucesters and Sutherlands. "But at least we have more fire power than them." He said as the Gloucesters and Sutherlands fell from the attacks.
"I know what you mean." Minami said as he saw 30 more Sutherlands and Gloucesters were charging towards them from the front "Take this!" he yelled as he fired the dual recoilless cannon on the Doppelhorn pack on his Dagger L. The dual recoilless cannons were so powerful, that the blast went through the 30 Sutherlands and Gloucesters like ice in hot water. "Wow this equipment is powerful."
"I know what you mean." Yoshida said as he brought out his MA-M4A heavy sword and sliced through a Gloucester charging at him with a Lance.
Scene Break:
Back with Kallen and Lelouch, they were flying towards their team's last target.
"So far so good," Lelouch said as he looked at the radar of the area "Sugiyama and Inoue defeated the enemy and captured the base, Minami and Yoshida are doing great too, and Tamaki and Ohgi completed their mission too although Tamaki got his suit pretty much torn up but he's alive so we don't lose so far."
"Well that's good," Kallen said as she picked up something from radar "Lelouch in coming fire." She finished as machine gun bullets and missiles were blasted from the ground. Lelouch and Kallen easily dodged all of the shots. When the two of them landed in front of their intended target, there were 5 Sutherlands waiting for them; 3 with rocket launchers 2 with machine guns.
"Huh," Lelouch said as he looked at the enemy "I was expecting more enemies than this."
"Who cares," Kallen said "it means that will have an easy win. So who do you want the enemy or the tower."
"I choose enemy," Lelouch said as he activated the 6-barrel Gatling machine gun on his shield and proceed to mow down the enemy Sutherlands
"Well that was easy," Kallen said
"Too easy…" Lelouch said as he noticed how easy the enemy went down "something doesn't feel right."
"Oh whatever," Kallen said "as soon we destroy the tower we win." She finished as she proceed towards the tower to destroy it.
"Wait Kallen this must be a…" Lelouch said but before he could finish something moving fast ram into Kallen's Murasame and force it back.
"Ahh!" Kallen screamed as she was forced back "what was that?"
"It came from him…" Lelouch said as he glared at the enemy in front of him. In front of him, was the White Knightmare frame known as the Lancelot with his swords drawn. Over the past three days, all of the new squad members were learning about the White Knightmare, including who the pilot was. To say that everyone was upset was an understatement. They were furious at who was piloting that machine.
"The Lancelot?" Kallen said "What the hell is Kururugi doing here?"
"How should I know?" Lelouch said as he clenched his fist in anger "and what's worst he's not alone." He finished as 7 Gloucesters appeared next to the Lancelot. But these weren't any normal Gloucesters, these were The Glaston Knights lead by Cornelia.
"Oh great," Kallen said as she saw the enemy in front of her and Lelouch "It's bad enough that we have to deal with the Lancelot but now we have to deal with The Glaston Knights too."
"We don't have a choice Kallen," Lelouch said "if we want to complete this mission were going to have to either get past them or defeat them one or the other."
"Alright," Kallen said "what's the plan."
"Sense the Gloucesters and the Lancelot are both close combat types were going to have to fight them in close combat as well and because they move faster than a Sutherland, our shots aren't going to hit them as easily as them." Lelouch said as he disengaged the Slaughter Dagger's shield and drew both of his Slaughter Dagger's 9.1 meter anti-ship swords while Kallen drew her Type 70J Kai beam saber in her free hand while holding onto her Type 72 Kai Ikazuchi beam rifle.
"Ready whenever you are," Kallen said
"Right," Lelouch said "Let's go!" He yelled as both of them charged the group. 6 of the Gloucesters charged after them while Cornelia's Gloucester and the Lancelot stayed back. Two of the Gloucesters charged Lelouch but they were silenced when Lelouch brought his swords down, cutting them in half. A third one jumped up into the air preparing to bring his lance onto Lelouch but Lelouch activated his suits Igelstellung II 40mm multi-barrel CIWS shooting the suit down before it could reach its target.
Kallen was a different story. Because her suit didn't have much equipment equipped to it like Lelouch's Slaughter Dagger did, she was more maneuverable while fighting. The last three Gloucesters charged her, but using her skills, Kallen brought her Kai beam saber down onto one of the Gloucesters while shooting a second one with her beam rifle. Finally, she kicked the last Gloucester towards Cornelia's Gloucester and the Lancelot. But to the shock of Lelouch and Kallen, Cornelia just swatted the Gloucester away from her.
"Ok," Lelouch said as he saw the last two enemies "all we have to do is take out Cornelia and Suzaku and the tower and we win."
"Got it," Kallen said "I'll take on Cornelia you take on Suzaku."
"Right," Lelouch said as both he and Kallen charged the Lancelot and Cornelia's Gloucester.
Kallen was fighting against Cornelia's Gloucester but because Cornelia was a skilled opponent, she was able to dodge all of Kallen's attacks.
"Just stay still!" Kallen yelled as she shot at Cornelia with her beam rifle but she dodged. Then Cornelia charged Kallen's Murasame so fast that it forced the Murasame on its back. Kallen's eyes widen when she saw Cornelia's Gloucester bringing her lance down on her. "You won't get me!" she yelled as she activated the Murasame's M2M5D 12.5mm CIWS at Cornelia. The blast wasn't strong enough to destroy the machine, but it did force the auto ejection.
Meanwhile, Lelouch was fighting the Lancelot on equal footing. Both of them clashing swords with each other while trying to push each other back.
"Suzaku," Lelouch said as he took a swipe at the Lancelot with his swords "how could you betray your country like this. Why are you fighting against them, you should be helping your country not trying to oppress it!" he yelled as he blocked a strike from the Lancelot's Maser Vibration Swords. Unfortunately, the Lancelot's Maser Vibration Swords combined with its strength were tougher than Lelouch's 9.1 meter anti-ship swords and so the Maser Vibration Swords pushed Lelouch's swords out of his hands. Because Lelouch's Slaughter Dagger was now defenseless, the Lancelot brought up its two swords and was prepared to cut Lelouch in half. "I don't think so!" Lelouch roared as he acted quickly and brought out one of his beam sabers out and stabbed it into the chest of the Lancelot. The blade went from the chest and right through the cockpit of the Lancelot.
Lelouch's eyes widen as he realized what he had done "S-Suzaku… I didn't mean to…" he said as he was shocked at what he had done as he looked at the down Lancelot.
"Lelouch are you alright?" Kallen asked
"I-I'm fine but Suzaku…" Lelouch said
"I know," Kallen said "I'm sorry Lelouch I know he was your friend but you had no choice but to what you had to do in order to survive now let's end this."
"R-right…"Lelouch said as he activated the Slaughter Dagger's 12.5mm anti-infantry guns, 115mm railguns, and 105mm cannons while Kallen brought up her beam rifle. Both of them fired at the tower and lit it up like a Christmas tree as it exploded. With the tower destroyed and their mission completed, Lelouch received a message saying "Mission Completed." As soon as Lelouch received that message, the entire area including the damaged and destroyed Knightmare frames began to break up into tiny particles that dissolved into nothingness. When the entire area disappeared, all that remained was their Mobile suits and white empty room.
"Well done everyone," Ryu said as he, Jay, Shinn and even Kira and Midori who had come to watch the action entered the room from the gate. "Everyone come down here… I need to give you an assessment about this battle."
Lelouch and every one of the resistance fighters came out from their suits and went towards Ryu and the others.
"What just happened," Kallen asked "one minute we were fighting against the Britannians the next where here in a white room."
"What we're in is called a battle simulator," Kira said "we design it so troops can learn how to fight against the enemies. And the best part is that you can't die."
"Now hold on," Tamaki said "I almost got stabbed by a Gloucester and my machine got torn apart."
Lelouch and Kallen both nodded their heads "Yeah and Lelouch and I almost got killed by Cornelia and Kururugi." Kallen said
"Although the enemies in the simulator won't be able to kill you they will be able to damage your suits." Jay said "Now let's get back to business."
Ryu nodded his head "Right," he said "now I like to say that you lot did an excellent job in this mission but there are a few things that need to be addressed." He finished as he looked Tamaki "Tamaki out of everyone here you are the only one whose suit was extremely damaged. You need to be more focused on your surroundings otherwise you or the people around you will end up dead."
Kira nodded her head in agreement as she looked at Lelouch with a sad expression "and Lelouch, I know you are sad that you had to fight your friend, I know because in the past I had to fight my best friend," she said shocking Lelouch "his name was Athrun, in the first two Bloody Valentine wars he was my enemy and I had to fight him. You see he and I had a different view in how we saw who was good and who was evil. Although at the end of the two wars, he and I were able to see eye to eye and come together. I'm not saying that you should kill Suzaku when you fight against him but if you want to keep your team alive as well as accomplish your goal, you're going to fight against him with all your heart." She finished as Lelouch nodded his head in understanding.
"Ok that concludes today's training session," Ryu said "Lelouch, Kallen, I want you to get a good night's sleep tonight, you two have to go back to school tomorrow, you two have been gone for three days now so you need to make an appearance at school." He finished as everyone nodded their heads as they made their way back towards their rooms. "Oh before you go," Ryu said making all of them stop and look back at Ryu "from this point on your squad will be known as Demon squad."
"Why Demon squad?" Lelouch asked
"Because if Britannia is considered holy," Jay said "shouldn't it be demons who should be the ones who defeat them? " he finished as everyone laughed at the notion "Oh and Lelouch, sense you're the team's commander, you are going to need to pick out your team's symbol as well as what color you team wants."
Lelouch nodded his head "Understood," he said he and the others of Demon Squad made their way back towards their rooms.
Scene Break:
Lelouch made his way back towards his room. When he entered the room, he found Nunnally and Sayoko in the room. Nunnally was looking at a book while Sayoko was getting food from the food replicator.
"Brother your back," Nunnally said as she looked at her brother "how was training?"
"Tough as usual," Lelouch said as he took a seat next to Nunnally "how was your day?"
"Great," Nunnally said "rehabilitation went well and I got to look outside. It's amazing how were in space right now."
Lelouch nodded his head "it sure is." He said "Hey Nunnally I have to go back to school tomorrow."
Nunnally nodded her head "Ok when do we leave," she asked
"That's the thing Nunnally," Lelouch said "you're staying here, I'm going back alone."
"But why?" Nunnally asked
"You need to finish your rehabilitation and you will be safer up here. Things are going to get a lot more heated down on Gaia soon and I don't want you to get in the middle of it." Lelouch said as Nunnally became silent.
"Brother," Nunnally said after a few seconds of silence "why are you doing this?"
Lelouch had a puzzled look "Do what Nunnally?" he asked
"Fighting against Britannia," Nunnally said "why are fighting against Britannia?"
Lelouch had a sad smile on his face "I guess I have three reasons why one is so that I can find the person who murdered our mother. The second reason is so I can get revenge against Britannia."
"And the third reason?" Nunnally asked
"The third reason why I am doing this is for you Nunnally." Lelouch said shocking Nunnally.
"For me?" Nunnally asked
Lelouch nodded his head "Yes," he said "I want to destroy Britannia so I could create a world where people like you and our sister Euphie could live in peace. I want to create a world where the strong don't oppress the weak, like the people of Terminal."
"What do you mean?" Nunnally asked
"Look at Terminal in a whole," Lelouch said "they have people who are known as coordinators who have skills that are far superior to people who live on Gaia, they have technology that out classes Britannia, and they are in a position where they could wipe out our entire world with in seconds. Yet instead of trying to use their powers like Britannia has done, they use their power to help those who are weak, those who are in need; they showed kindness and helped the people of Shinjuku without a second thought. This is the world I want to create."
Nunnally smiled at Lelouch and put her pinky forward "Then I want you to make a pinky promise with me Lelouch," she said "promise me that you will come back to me when you finish fighting for this new world and that you will be safe."
Lelouch smiled as he took her pinky with his "I promise," he said
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, Ryu and the others along with the two scientists known as Erica Simmons and the Professor were in a meeting to discuss how the groups training went and the events that would occur in the near future.
"So how did the rookies do in training?" Dearka asked
"Pretty well," Jay said "for beginners they did well but they still have long way to go before they reach Terminal standards. Although out of the entire group, Lelouch and Kallen have real promise in becoming aces like us."
Mu nodded his head in understanding "That's good," he said "now onto other matters, we have learned that Cornelia is planning on attacking the Saitama ghetto, trying to lower us into a trap; she's even broadcasting the time of the event."
Ryu nodded his head in understanding "When does she plan on the attack?" he asked
"In about 5 days," Murrue said "who would we send to handle this matter?"
Kira thought for a moment before coming up with an answer "I recommend sending Lelouch and his team out," she said as everyone looked at her "they should be ready by then to handle a real live battle."
Jay nodded his head in understanding "That sounds good but we should have 3 of us help in case something goes wrong." He said as everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
"On another note," Meyrin said "we have also determined that during the annual Sakuradite Allocation Meeting that will be held in a few weeks at Lake Kawaguchi will be attacked by the Japan Liberation Front; they'll probably take hostages at the hotel."
"Why would they do that?" Shinn asked
"We don't know," Luna said "but we know that the operation will be led by someone known as Lt. Colonel Kusakabe. I say we act against them, I mean they plan on taking hostages, even though they are Britannians they are still only civilians."
Ryu nodded his head "Agreed, will come up with a plan to act against them when the time comes. Now onto the next matter," he said as he turned to May "How's the condition of our friend in the medic building?"
"Still in a coma," May said "even with an oxygen capsule, she hasn't woken up."
"Why hasn't she woken up yet," Lowe asked "I thought she was immortal?"
"She is," May said "but I have come up with a theory as to why," she finished as she brought medical data on C.C. "it seems that her cells can rapidly regenerate and multiply at incredible speed."
"Can you explain," Jay asked
"As long as some of her cells are still alive," May explained "that cells can rapidly reproduce new cells to take over and replace or repair damaged cells making that person immortal."
"Interesting theory," Meyrin said "but that still doesn't tell us why she is in a coma."
"In order for human cells to work," May said "we need oxygen and because her cells move at a higher rate than ours she needs more oxygen and sense the transport ship's cargo bay had limited amount of air…" she said as Kira interrupted her.
"Her cells began to shut down," Kira said "forcing her body into a coma like state so that her body could reserve the remaining oxygen in her body."
"Exactly," May said
"Interesting," Ryu said "please continue to monitor her May, as soon as she is up I would like to talk to her."
"Understood," May said
"Onto the next matter," Ryu said as he turned to Erica Simmons and the Professor "So how do those Knightmare frames we brought on board look."
"In my opinion," the Professor said "these suits are pitiful, even a low class Mobile Armor could handle these machines."
Erica nodded her head "I agree," she said "which is why we plan on rebuilding them for future uses."
Ryu nodded his head "Excellent," he said "when more members join Lelouch's squadron, these suits will be a part of their main forces."
Erica and the Professor nodded their heads "Right," Erica said "will get started right away, we should be done modifying them in about three weeks or so."
"Onto the next matter of business," Ryu said "how are the people of Shinjuku handling living on the Valhalla?"
"Everyone seems to be happy at the moment," Lacus said "sense most of the people living in the ghettos didn't have much of a life, many of them are happy although there are a few who are somewhat reluctant right now."
Kira nodded her head in understanding "We should go and talk to them and see how they are doing."
Jay nodded his head in agreement "Yeah I agree," he said "I recommend Kira, May, and Lacus to do it sense most of the people know who you are because of the concert."
"On to our final matter," Ryu said "since Lelouch and Kallen have been gone from school for the last 3 days, they are going back tomorrow."
"That's good," Shinn said "how are they going back; by shuttle perhaps?"
Ryu shook his head "No," he said "We just finished fixing the matter transporter so will use that to send Lelouch and Kallen back. But we have a small problem."
"What's that?" Jay asked
"Because Lelouch and Kallen are going to be out of school a lot these next few weeks," Ryu said "we'll need someone to watch them and give people at the school an excuse as to why they aren't on campus."
Shinn nodded his head "Make's sense, so what's the problem then?" He asked
"The problem is I can't think of anybody to send down." Ryu said as everyone began to think of people that they could send down to help Lelouch and Kallen.
Kira then got an idea "Hey I got it," she said as she looked at Murrue "Murrue, you use to teach English in High school right?"
"Yes," Murrue said "why?"
"Because I have an idea," Kira said "Here's the plan…" She said as she explained the plan to all the people around the table.
Scene Break:
The next morning, Lelouch and Kallen, wearing their school uniforms, were standing on a high panel on the floor while Ryu and Kira were at a machine at the other side of the room.
"So what exactly are we standing on?" Lelouch asked
"A matter transporter," Kira said "it's a device that allows people or objects to be transported from one place to another in an instance."
"Oh and before you go here!" Ryu said as he threw both Lelouch and Kallen a black rectangular device.
"What's this?" Lelouch asked as he and Kallen looked at the strange device.
"It's a communicator," Ryu said "it will help you to stay in contact with us."
Both nodded their heads in understanding when Kallen realized something "Hey wait a minute," she said "If you had this machine why didn't you use it to transport all the people from Shinjuku to here?" she asked as Lelouch nodded his head in agreement.
"It wasn't working properly and we just fixed it three days ago," Ryu said "now hold still as I activate the thing." He finished as he pressed a button. In a flash of blue, Lelouch and Kallen disappeared.
Kira looked at Ryu "You think we should of told them of the surprise in store for them at school?" she asked
Ryu shrugged "They'll figure it out," he said "In the mean time I got to start the others training for today."
Kira nodded her head "And I have to look after Midori while I check on the refuges we have." She said as both of them separated from each other and went to do their respective task.
Scene Break:
Lelouch and Kallen at entered their homeroom class ready for the day. Lelouch went to his friend Rivalz, Shirley, and Nina while Kallen went to her friends.
"Hey Lelouch," Rivalz said as he waved to Lelouch "your back."
Lelouch nodded his head "Yeah I got just got back this morning," he said
"Where did you go Lelouch?" Shirley asked
"Nunnally and I had something important we had to do so we were absent from school for a while." Lelouch said as the bell rang indicating that class was about to begin.
"Well there's the bell," Nina said "it looks like class is about to begin." She finished all of them got into their seats. But instead of their teacher entering the room, Principle Ruben Ashford entered instead.
"Principle Ashford," Lelouch said shocked to see the principle here "is something wrong?"
"I just wanted to inform all of you that you English/Homeroom and PE teacher are leaving us," Ruben said shocking everyone. "For some reason they have decided to go into early retirement. There for we have assigned new teachers and assistance teachers to replace them." He finished as Mu, Murrue, Lunamaria, and Meyrin entered the room making Lelouch and Kallen's eyes widen. Mu and Lunamaria were wearing track suits while Murrue and Meyrin wore woman's suits.
"Hey everyone," Mu said as he waved at the group of students "I'm Mu La Flaga and I will be teaching you in Physical Education."
"Hello," Murrue said "I am Murrue La Flaga, while my husband here teaches you in Physical Education, I'll be teaching you in English."
"Hello," Lunamaria said "I'm Lunamaria Hawke and I'll be helping Mr. La Flaga in PE.
"I am Meyrin Hawke and I'll be helping Mrs. La Flaga with English." Meyrin said
"We hope you will take care of us." They all said
Everyone was shocked at the news of new teachers and new assistance teachers. The boys were happy that three girls (even though one was married) would be teaching them and the girls were happy that a hot guy was there to teach them.
"It's nice to meet you." Everyone said
Mu nodded his head as he and Luna made their way out of the room "Well I'll see you guys in PE." He said as both he and Lunamaria made their way out but not before Mu gave Murrue a quick kiss goodbye.
"Awe…."Everyone said
Ruben coughed getting Murrue's attention "If you are quite done," he said "I will be getting back to work."
"Of course," Murrue said as Ruben made his way out "Now before we start our lesson, we have a new student entering our class." She finished as she looked at the door "please come in…" she said as Suzaku entered the room making Lelouch and Kallen's eyes widen even more.
"I'll be joining the student body here at Ashford Academy starting today." Suzaku said "My name is Suzaku Kururugi, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Murrue nodded her head "Well Mr. Kururugi it's a pleasure to meet you so can you take a seat over in that corner over there." She said as she pointed to a seat. Suzaku nodded his head and took the seat. "Now, for today's lesson…" she as she began her lesson towards the group of students.
Scene Break:
After the class ended many of the students began to talk about Suzaku.
"What's an eleven doing here," One student said
"How should I know," Another student said as others began to murmur about it
"An Eleven in School," Nina said
"He is an Honorary Britannian." Rivalz said
"I know," Nina said "but still all the same…"
"Well he doesn't look all the bad to me." Shirley said "Why don't we go and say hi and talk to him?" she finished as Rivalz stopped her.
Rivalz shook his face "The guy just got here," he said "give him some space."
Lelouch got up and made his way to the door, but before he left, Lelouch pulled up his collar. Suzaku saw the signal and as soon as Lelouch was out of sight, he got up and left too.
Scene Break:
Lelouch was up on the school roof when Suzaku came up.
"Seven years since using this signal huh?" Lelouch said as he turned towards Suzaku
"Meeting on the roof like the old days; I'm glad you're okay, I've been worried." Suzaku said as he approached Lelouch.
"Alive and kicking thanks to you," Lelouch said "you almost died…trying to protect me…"
"I was just returning the favor from seven years ago." Suzaku said as Lelouch looked away with a sad look "Ah what about the girl?" he asked "You know from the capsule?"
"I don't really know," Lelouch said 'Well I do but she's in a coma right now and he doesn't need to know.' "We got separated during the fray… but you would know about her than I do… right?"
"No," Suzaku said "the only ones who knew anything were those in the inner circle of the Royal Guard."
"I see," Lelouch said
"And you," Suzaku asked deciding to change the subject "Do I still call you Lelouch?"
"The records count my old identity among the dead now. I go by the name Lelouch Lamperouge now." Lelouch said
"Oh," Suzaku said
"And you?" Lelouch asked "How did you end up here at this school?"
""I'm surprised as you are." Suzaku said with a smile "What are the odds we end up at the same school? The truth is, someone arranged for me to go to school because that person believes that a 17 year old should be in school."
"I guess that makes sense," Lelouch said
"Hey Lelouch," Suzaku said "how's Nunnally?"
"She's fine," Lelouch said "she's busy visiting a friend; she'll be back in a month or so."
"Oh," Suzaku said "hey I think it may not be a good idea if we were to meet during school."
"What do you mean?" Lelouch asked
"Think," Suzaku said "how would you explain… being friends with an Honorary Britannian… you have to guard your secret… no one can know that you are royalty" he said as he looked down sadly "and the same can be said about Nunnally. I don't want to cause you any trouble."
"Will you quit thinking about other's needs," Lelouch said shocking Suzaku "Why don't you think about your needs for once?" He said as he heard the bell ring "Whatever, we better get back to class." He finished as he left through the door with Suzaku following right behind them.
Scene Break:
"And that concludes our lesson for today, have a nice day and I'll see you tomorrow." Murrue said as everyone got up and prepared to return to their dorms "Mr. Lamperouge, Ms. Stadfeld… could I see you two for a moment." She finished as Lelouch and Kallen nodded their heads as they stayed after class while the others left. When every one of the students left, Mu and Lunamaria entered the room and locked the door behind them.
"You probably have questions as to why we are here." Mu said as Lelouch and Kallen nodded their heads "Well we needed someone to watch your guys back while you are at school as well as having someone around to give excuses to people as to why you aren't at school."
Lelouch nodded his head "Make's sense," he said "how did you get our other teachers to retire?"
"We gave them enough money to retire," Luna said "we didn't really mine sense we don't really need it."
"How did you get into the school's system," Kallen asked "I mean this school would need to have looked at your background in order to get into this school."
"We hacked into the Britannian data base and created fake profiles of us." Meyrin said
"Interesting," Lelouch said "anything else we should know about?"
Murrue nodded her head "Yes, there will be a new training session tonight so after you get your work done contact the others and tell them to transport you back up." She said Kallen and Lelouch nodded their heads as they left.
Scene Break:
The next few days for Suzaku were rough, whenever he entered the class room, people would look at him and talk behind his back. People even began to write hatful remarks but thanks to Mu and Luna patrolling the area, this action was limited but it still occurred.
Lelouch right now was sitting on his room doing nothing as he looked at the communicator Ryu had given him.
'Things seem to be moving for Cornelia,' Lelouch thought 'she's already destroyed the Blood of the Samurai and is looking for Terminal. I just hope we will be ready to handle this situation.' He finished as he put the communicator on the table and made his way to the kitchen "I might as well get something to drink." He said as he left not know that a black cat snuck into his room while the window was open.
Scene Break:
Lelouch was drinking some water when a black cat with his communicator in his mouth walked by him. He then spat out his water and proceeded to chase the cat before he got away with his communicator. The cat made his way out from the club house and made his way out to the campus.
"A stupid cat," Lelouch said as he climbed out the window the cat left from "I am not going to get in trouble by Terminal because of this." He finished as he ran by Milly, Rivalz, and Nina.
"Hey Lelouch," Rivalz said "where are you doing?"
"Nothing," Lelouch said "just chasing a cat!" he said as he ran past them.
"Chasing a cat?" Rivalz asked "Why would Lelouch chase after cat?"
"Maybe the cat stole something important from Lelouch." Nina said
"Like what?" Milly asked
"A love letter maybe?" Nina said
"An embarrassing photo?" Milly said
"Poetry he wrote?" Rivalz said as both he and Milly began to smile.
"Well whatever it is we have to know; will get it before Lelouch does." Milly said as she, Rivalz, and Nina went to the PDA room.
Scene Break:
Lelouch kept running after the cat as it cut across the court yard. Lelouch even ran into a bush while running.
'Damn it,' Lelouch thought as he got from the bush and ran towards the cat 'why does this have to happen to me?' he finished as the PDA activated as Milly spoke.
"This is Milly Ashford your student council president." Milly said "Cat-hunt everybody! There's a cat loose on campus that needs to be rounded up; put everything on hold people! Participating clubs will get budget priority and whoever catches our feline friend gets an extra special prize! A big kiss from one of the members of the council!" she finished as the entire school went into frenzy "And when you do catch this cat, bring it and what it has on it to me, to me! Ahahahahaha!" she finished as she coughed
"Stay out of this Milly!" Lelouch said as he continued to run after the cat. The cat went towards the clock tower as he ran after it. As he got to the entrance of the clock tower, he ran into Suzaku.
"Suzaku," Lelouch said surprised to see him here
"Lelouch," Suzaku said "you're looking for the cat too." He finished as they both heard the cat yelling from above. "Up there." He said as he went up towards the stairs while Lelouch followed behind him while trying to convince Suzaku to go back.
When Suzaku of them exited the entrance to the top of the tower, a lot of people had gathered at the bottom of the tower to watch the scene. Suzaku then began to climb the tower to get the cat.
"Easy now," Suzaku said as he approached the cat "don't be scared."
"Suzaku," Lelouch said as he exited the clock tower "come back."
"It's alright," Suzaku said as he began to climb higher "leave this to me." He finished as he got closer and closer to the cat.
'That's funny,' Lelouch thought 'he never went along with the crowd like this.' He finished as he made his way up, but slipped and began to fall back making everyone shocked at the scene. Suzaku looked back and went to grab Lelouch.
"Lelouch," Suzaku yelled as he went to grab Lelouch as he began to slip. Grabbing onto a window seal, Suzaku used his free hand to grab Lelouch. "Are you ok?" he asked
"Yeah," Lelouch said as Suzaku began to help him up. Lelouch then noticed that the cat had dropped his communicator onto the other side of the tower where it would be waiting for him when he grabbed it later on.
Suzaku then pulled Lelouch up "Pretty calm for someone on the verge of death," he said
"Yeah right," Lelouch said "I was just limp with fear." He finished as both of them made their way towards the exit.
Scene Break:
When Suzaku got to the ground first he saw a bunch of people looking at him. Everyone was staring at him for a few seconds before Shirley came up to him.
"You saved him," Shirley said "Thank you so much Suzaku."
"Yeah way to go new guy," Rivalz said as he came next to Shirley
"That cat was carrying something wasn't it?" Milly asked
"Yeah there was something in its mouth," Suzaku said "but I wasn't able to get a good look at it. I think he dropped it."
"So where is Lulu?" Shirley asked
"He said he forgot something," Suzaku said as he looked behind him then looked back at the group "told me to go ahead."
"Ah that's it!" Milly said as she pointed towards Suzaku "The embarrassing secret that he's hiding."
"So that's it madam president?" Lelouch said as he came walking down from the exit of the building
"Aw," Milly said "and just when I thought I finally found some dirt on you."
"Yeah," Shirley said "he almost lost his cool for once." She finished as Suzaku smiled at that while Lelouch approached the group.
"So uh do you two know each other?" Kallen asked even though she knew the answer as Lelouch and Suzaku looked at her.
"Yeah but he's… an Eleven." Nina said
Your point," A voice called out behind the crowd, everyone looked to see Mu, Murrue, Luna, and Meyrin walking right behind them.
"Just because he's and eleven doesn't mean he's bad," Luna said "just give the guy a chance."
Lelouch nodded his head at that ""He's my friend." He said making Suzaku look at him "Madam President, could you permit him to join the student council?" he said shocking everyone "The rules are clear… all students must join a club. Although…" he finished as Milly began to think up an answer.
"Well you are the vice president…" Milly said "I suppose I can't refuse," she finished as Shirley smiled at her "Although who would kiss him though?"
"I think Nunnally wouldn't mind when she gets back," Lelouch said as everyone of the student council began to introduce themselves to Suzaku.
Scene Break:
Back on Valhalla, C.C. began to wake up.
'Huh,' C.C thought as she found herself in a strange device 'what happened, the last thing I remember is going into that ship and then I couldn't breathe that well all of a sudden… then I must have blacked out.'
"Well look who's finally woken up," a voice said.
When C.C. looked to where the voice came from, she saw May looking over her.
"You gave us a bit of a scare C.C." May said as C.C. eyes widen from shock before turning to normal.
"Who are you," C.C asked "and how do you know who I am? You don't look like your part of that research project?"
"That's because I'm not," May said "the names May Ryosukei, one of the chief medics of Valhalla."
"Valhalla," C.C. asked as she rose and eyebrow "you mean like the one from Norse mythology?"
"No," May said as she shook her head "it's something different and as to how we know who you are we hacked into the Viceroy's computer and stole the information about the project Code-R."
"So you know what the project is," C.C. said "are you going to experiment on me like they did, is that what this device is for?"
"Hardly," May said "this is just a device to pump more oxygen into your body. Without it you would probably die." She finished as C.C.'s eyes widened
"Die," C.C. said shocked at this "but I can't die I'm…"
"Immortal," May interrupted "hardly, your body may be able to heal and revive from physical wounds but without oxygen to fill it, your body will shut down."
"And where would we be where there is hardly any oxygen?" C.C. asked
May opened the capsule allowing C.C. to come out of it "Just follow me," she said as she walked towards a window. C.C. followed her and when she saw the planet below her as well as the darkness of space her eyes widened.
"W-we're in space…" C.C. said shocked "how… what… who are you people, Britannia doesn't have the ability to travel into space."
"Nope," May said as she wagged her finger "won't tell you until you tell us what we need to know which means if you want answers you'll have to follow me." She finished as she left the room followed by C.C.
