Hey guys, dsgundam00 here. Because I couldn't write any more stuff for chapter 6, I have decided to post a double chapter. Hope you enjoy it. Also I like to thank revan193 for creating the designs for the new mobile version of the Sutherland that will be shown in this chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, even the plot; plot belongs to DragonKnightRyu as well as the new Knightmare frame that is shown in this chapter that belongs to revan193.Although I do own a few OC's
DKR: Hey Guys DragonKnightRyu here, just wanted to say that I am personally impressed with the way that dsgundam00 has taken this story, he had taken the base of my story and turned it into his own, so please do give him a round of applause

Code Geass: Rebirth through Freedom and Redemption Chapter 7: Revolution Starts: Battle at Saitama and Lake Kawaguchi
Inside the conference room, Ryu, Kira, Shinn, Jay, Dearka, Lowe, and Lacus were waiting for May. Mu, Murrue, Lunamaria, and Meyrin were still down on Gaia doing work for school and Erica and the Professor were busy modifying the Sutherlands for Lelouch's squad to use. All six of them learned that their guest C.C. had woken up and they each had questions for her. Just then May and C.C. entered the room. C.C. was now wearing a light blue t-shirt and dark blue skirt instead of the strait jacket she had worn before.
"Well looks like our guest of honor is here." Jay said
"I want answers." C.C. said bluntly as she and May took a seat.
"And you'll have them after you answer our questions first." Ryu said "But first let us introduce ourselves to you first, I'm Ryu Yamato."
"Yo," Jay said "Name's Jay, Jay Ryosukei."
"I'm Shinn Asuka." Shinn said
"Hey, I'm Dearka Elsman," Dearka said
"Lowe Guele is the name," Lowe said
"Hello," Lacus said "I'm Lacus Clyne."
"And I'm Kira Yamato." Kira said
C.C. nodded her head "It's nice to meet you," she said unemotionally "now can you tell me who you are."
"Will answer your questions after you answer ours first." Jay said bluntly as C.C. remained quiet for a few seconds.
C.C. sighed "Fine," she said "what do you want to know about."
"Well for starters," Ryu said "Tell us about this Geass Order." He said as C.C.'s eyes widened
"How do you know about that?" C.C. asked
"It was mentioned on the report," Dearka said
C.C. just stared at the group before sighing "The Geass Order is a secretive group that studies and produces Geass users." She said "Do I need to explain what Geass is?"
"No," May said "We already know what it is. But can you tell us who runs this group as well as where their main base is?"
"The person who runs this organization is known as V.V., like me he is an immortal, he is the brother of the Emperor Charles zi Britannia and as to where their main base is, I have no idea, V.V. moved the location when he took over the order."
Ryu nodded his head in understanding "So if the brother of the emperor runs this order does that mean he has Geass too?"
"Yes," C.C. said
"What is his power then?" Lacus asked
"You know I'm not going to tell you anything more until you start answering my questions first." C.C. said
"Very well," May said "ask away."
"Who are you?" C.C. asked
"We are Terminal," Ryu said "an organization built to keep the world's peace from people who would destroy that peace."
"Well you're doing a fine job…" C.C. said sarcastically.
"Who said anything about Terminal being created on your planet?" Dearka asked
"What?" C.C. asked
"We aren't from your planet," Kira said "were from a plant known as Earth."
"Impossible," C.C. said "space travel is impossible…"
"Lady," Lowe said "nothing is impossible."
"Still…you look human," C.C. said "but there is something different about all of you… something unnatural about all of you."
"That's because the lot of us are either Coordinators or New-types." Kira said
"Coordinators? New-types? What are those?" C.C. asked
"Coordinators are the byproduct of human creation," Ryu said "we were genetically altered humans who are born with superior abilities, enhanced mental capabilities, and a virtually indestructible immune system. Basically we were creations built by men who thought they were god. Kira, Lacus, Dearka, and I are known as Coordinators."
"And as for Lowe, Jay, and I," May said "we are known as New-types, we are similar to Coordinators except we weren't created genetically; we evolved while being in space and unfortunately we do not have an indestructible immune system like Coordinators."
C.C. began to take in the information she had been given. "Why are you here then," she asked as every one of them gained a sad expression.
"We lost our home," Ryu said "let's just say a mad man destroyed our world."
"I am sorry," C.C. said
"It's ok," Jay said as he sighed "even though a lot of people died, we need to move on and continue to live for the sacrifices they made for us… anything else you would like to know?"
C.C. was about to answer when her stomach began to growl.
Kira and everyone else began to laugh at that "well it looks like someone is hungry," she said "May why don't you get her something to eat, we can talk later…" Kira finished as May nodded her head as she took C.C. to go and get something to eat.
As soon as May and C.C. left, Kira turned her head back to the group "Well that was some interesting information we got from her," she said
Jay nodded his head "Tell me about it," he said "and entire organization that has the power of Geass now that's just scary…it's a good thing we are immune to them."
"True," Ryu said "but the problem at hand is how do we handle this group?"
"We shouldn't be thinking about that right now," Kira said "what we should be thinking about is the operation that will be happening tomorrow at Saitama…"
"I agree," Lacus said "so have we come up with a plan against it?"
Jay nodded his head as he brought up a plan "We have determined that Cornelia will plan an assault against Saitama like Clovis did in order to draw us into a trap; although this time she is sending every one of her forces into this battle. In order to evacuate the civilians I am sending three of my Warrior squadrons down to help evacuate which will be led by Dearka here. We brought Lelouch and Kallen back from the planet to prepare for tomorrows mission." He explained "I had Lelouch come up with a plan that would involve him and his squadron. He has decided to use the terrorist group known as the Yamato Alliance the same way he used his squad during the beginning of the battle of Shinjuku. From there, he believes that Cornelia will draw all her forces back to her after Lelouch destroys some of her forces. When that happens, Lelouch and his squadron will attack her head on."
"Interesting strategy," Dearka said "but 8 suits alone can't defeat all of them. Especially with the limited training they had."
"7 suits actually," Shinn said "Tamaki has wrecked almost every type of mass produce suit he could get his hands on. Therefor he won't be participating in this battle."
"This is why I decided to send one group down with them to help." Jay said
"Which group are you sending down?" Kira asked
"I plan on sending Hilda Harken and her two men out to help." Jay said
"You mean you're sending out the DOM Trooper Trio out to help?" Shinn said "the three of them alone could take out an army by themselves."
"The three of them want some action and I think they could use it," Jay said as he looked at Ryu "I also recommend we send one of our ships down so that Lelouch's team could stay on the surface."
Ryu nodded his head "Very well will send the Archangel down sense Murrue is already down there as well but who of our group should stay down with them in case something goes wrong?"
"I believe that May, Shinn, and I should go down to the surface and watch them in case of emergency." Jay said "Ryu you need to stay up here and be with Kira and Midori because right now they will need you; if the three of us run into trouble will call you for help."
Ryu nodded his head in agreement "Very well," he said "anything else that is worth mentioning?"
"Yeah," Shinn said "Lelouch picked his team's symbol and color's."
"So what are they?" Ryu asked
"Well here is his team's symbol," Shinn said as he brought up an image of Geass combined with a sword appeared on the screen "I think it looks cool and as for his teams color, he chose black…"
"Hey that's my color!" Jay said
"Which is why he chose black and purple, also we have already colored all of their suits these colors except for Kallen's. For some reason she likes her suit the way it is." Shinn said "Other than that, I have nothing else to say."
"Very well," Ryu said "if that is all then I will conclude this meeting." He finished as everyone exited the room."
Scene Break:
The next morning, Ryu got up early to go and talk to Lelouch about today's battle. When he got to the door to his room, he knocked. Then Sayoko answered the door.
"Good morning Mr. Yamato," Sayoko said
"Good morning Sayoko," Ryu said "is Lelouch up yet, we have a meeting in an hour and I wanted to see if he is ok."
Sayoko shook her head "No," she said "he is still asleep; I can wake him up if you would like."
"No that's ok," Ryu said "I can do it myself, where is his room at?"
Sayoko pointed to a door at the other side of the room "It is over there," she said as Ryu nodded his head as he approached the door to the room. When he opened the door, Ryu saw Lelouch asleep on his bed, sweating uncontrollably.
"Hey Lelouch are you alright?" Ryu said as he walked towards Lelouch and proceeded to wake him up.
Lelouch woke up as his eyes widened as he stood up from his bed "What happened?" he asked as he began to breathe heavily.
"You tell me," Ryu said "you were sweating really heavily when I woke you up. Are you ok?"
"I guess I was having a bad dream," Lelouch said
"You want to talk about it," Ryu asked "I mean talking about it might make you feel better."
Lelouch looked at Ryu before letting out a sigh "I was dream of the time I went to go see my father about my mother's death," he explained "when I asked why he didn't care, he told me that she was nothing and that I was dead and meant nothing to him same goes for Nunnally as well."
"I see," Ryu said "so that's the reason why you hate your father huh?" he finished as Lelouch nodded his head "Well prove him wrong," he said as Lelouch looked at him.
"What do you mean?" Lelouch asked
"Prove to him that you aren't dead," Ryu said "prove to him that you aren't worthless. I mean you're being given an opportunity to show your father how strong you are."
"I guess you're right," Lelouch said "is there a reason as to why you're here so early?"
"I wanted to see if you're ok," Ryu explained "after all today is the day your team's first mission."
"Yeah," Lelouch said as he got up "I better get ready… I'll see you at the meeting in…. how long till then?"
"An hour…" Ryu said
"Alright," Lelouch said "in an hour it is then. I'll see you there." He finished as Ryu nodded his head as he left Lelouch to get ready.
Scene Break:
An hour later, Lelouch entered the meeting room to find Ryu, Shinn, May, Jay, Kira, Dearka, his squadron, and three other people in the room. One was a woman with orange hair, she had an eye patch on her right eye and she was wearing a red ZAFT uniform. On her right was a man with brown hair and a beard and on her left was a man with blue hair with a scar on his left eye and was wearing glasses. Both of them were wearing green ZAFT uniforms.
"Ah Lelouch," Ryu said as everyone turned towards Lelouch "you made it, we were just going over the plan. We need you to explain the plan for your team."
Lelouch nodded his head as he went in front of the group. "Oh before we begin Lelouch," Ryu said as he pointed towards the woman "this is Commander Hilda Harken, the two men next to her are Lt. Mars Simeon and Lt. Herbert von Reinhard; they will be with you on your mission in Saitama. Guy's this is Lelouch, he is in charge of the newly formed Demon squad."
"Hey," Herbert said
"Hello," Mars said
"General you can't be serious," Hilda said "he's only a kid."
"Funny," Jay said "weren't Kira, May, Shinn, and I his age when we became commanders in Terminal?" he finished
"But you guys had military training;" Hilda argued "he doesn't…"
"During his training runs He and Kallen are the best Mobile suit pilots in his squad." Ryu said "plus he has created excellent strategies while doing missions."
"I'll be the judge of that," Hilda said
"Any who," Ryu said "let's get back on track, Jay explain your part of the mission if you please."
Jay nodded his head as he brought up a map of the Saitama ghetto "Here is our intended target," he explained "it seems Princess Cornelia li Britannia is planning an attack on Saitama ghetto. Her mission is to create a battle similar to the one that happened in Shinjuku in order to draw us out. Our mission is to save the civilians; I plan on having 3 Warrior squads help evacuate the civilians while leading the squads will be Commander Elsman over here. But we will need a group to distract Cornelia from the civilians, Lelouch I believe you have a plan for this part of the mission."
Lelouch nodded his head "Demon squad and I along with Hilda and her team will be the ones to distract Cornelia. I will direct the terrorist group known as the Yamato alliance to attack Cornelia's forces first. After that, I believe Cornelia will call all of her forces back. When she does that, we will strike." He finished as he looked at Inoue "Inoue your Strike Dagger will be equipped with an Infiltrator pack, although it is built for Vanguards, we have customized the pack so that your Dagger could use it. You will be positioned a few feet away from the G-1 mobile base that Cornelia will be in. When the time comes you will shoot the enemy when we begin the attack." He finished as Inoue nodded her head "Minami, Yoshida, Sugiyama and Ohgi, the four of you will attack from behind, because of that Minami your Dagger L will be going out without a pack so that it can be maneuverable while in battle." He finished as the four of them nodded their heads "And as for Hilda and her team…"
"Will attack from the front…" Hilda interrupted
"Right," Lelouch said "which leaves Kallen and I to come and attack from above."
"Hey what about me," Tamaki said "don't I get to participate?"
"No," Jay said "you won't be participating…"
"Why not?' Tamaki asked
"Because unlike the others," May said "you are the only one who's had their suit shot down in all of the practice rounds you and the others have had."
"But…"Tamaki said
"No buts Tamaki," Shinn said "Until you become a better pilot you won't be piloting a Mobile suit. For now you will go with the others down to Gaia, while everyone is busy fighting the enemy, you will continue to train in the mobile suit simulator." He finished as Tamaki lowered his head.
"Any who," Ryu said "in order to hold your suits, I am sending one of our battle ships known as the Archangel down to hold them. Also in case something goes wrong in the mission, Jay, Shinn, and May will be there provide assistance if need. Other than that, we are done with this meeting so everyone prepare for today's mission." He finished as everyone nodded their heads as they left to get ready.
Scene Break:
Back on Gaia, Cornelia and all her forces were preparing for the battle at Shinjuku. She had left Davis behind because in case someone attacked elsewhere, Davis and his Hounds would act. So for her assault in Saitama, she decided to take her forces, the purist faction, and a few of the advisers Clovis brought with him when he was in Shinjuku.
"The Saitama ghetto is now completely surrounded," Darlton said as he observed the map "the Yamato alliance hideout is located somewhere in here. Half the people in Saitama are cooperating with them so if we attack now…"
"What will be the effect on production?" Cornelia interrupted
"Primary sector output should decrease by 0.2%." Darlton said
"Within expectations you mean?" Cornelia asked as she turned her head towards the advisers that belonged to Clovis "alright… all of you here participated in the first battle of Shinjuku, is that correct?"
"Yes," the advisers said
Cornelia nodded her head as she looked at the scene in front of her "So do you think the conditions are similar?" she asked as she began to smirk "to those in Shinjuku."
Scene Break:
Meanwhile at HiTV studios, an anchor was giving the news about the situation at Saitama.
"Military authorities report that they have surrounded the Saitama ghetto, a known hiding place for terrorists." The anchor said "Viceroy Cornelia is leading this campaign and entry into that area is restricted. It appears that a full-scale assault will be launched in two hours. Consequently power will be shut off for the time being in the following areas…" she said as she began to list a bunch of areas that would lose power.
"News is one thing but why are they reporting the starting time?" one of the stage managers asked
"Because their trying to provoke the organization that humiliated them at Shinjuku," Diethard said "rumors are popping out but I believe that this organization is known as Terminal."
Scene Break:
"I don't know anything about this Terminal group," Cornelia said "but from what my two brothers have said, this Terminal organization likes to help those who are weak. Therefore I have created the incident at Shinjuku to lower them out."
"Viceroy," one of Cornelia's officers said "won't this organization try to kill you?"
"I don't know," Cornelia said "I have no idea... this group had the chance to capture me before but they didn't and besides war is a struggle between pride and life."
Scene Break:
Meanwhile in the middle of the Saitama ghetto, Britannian foot soldiers were busy eliminating any Japanese people within the area.
"My God," a Japanese male wearing a long collared white shirt, tie, and glasses said as he looked at the man that the soldiers killed "why did you do that even children are here. What's going on? We haven't done anything."
"That's exactly why," one of the soldiers said "the people of this ghetto refuse to report the terrorists. You hide them; you cover for them, that's treason against state and government." He finished as the Japanese man's eyes began to widen as the soldiers prepared to fire. But before the soldiers fired, green beams came out of nowhere and slammed into all of them killing them instantly. Every one of the Japanese civilians was shocked at this, especially when Dearka and 7 men with strange guns came out from the corner.
"Maybe they are protecting them because they believe that the terrorists will protect them from you," Dearka said coldly at the dead soldiers "either way you shouldn't kill civilians."
"W-who are you people," the Japanese man with the glasses asked
Dearka turned to him "We're Terminal and our job is to make sure you are all safely evacuated from this ghetto so let's move people." He said as he and his men began to help evacuate the civilians from Saitama.
Scene Break:
"It seems some of the sweeper groups have been lost," Darlton said as he looked at Cornelia
"It looks like it is time to set our plan in motion," Cornelia said "So shall we begin?"
"Right," Darlton said as he activated the com "attention all forces commence irradiation of the Saitama ghetto, all forces assume LV 1 battle stations." He finished as all of Cornelia's forces launched ready for battle. The only ones who didn't launch were the Purist faction.
"Why aren't we launching?" Kewell complained "we should be out there with them."
"Our orders are to stay here and protect the G-1 base," Jeremiah explained "if there is trouble with the main forces; Cornelia will send our group out to help."
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, Lelouch was listening to the communications that Cornelia's personnel aboard the G-1 base talking about the battle. He and Kallen were waiting in a hidden area while the others already broke off to do their part of the mission.
"Suppression of area four has been completed," One of the command crews aboard the G-1 base said
"Eighth and eleventh mechanized infantry companies are sweeping north and south in a pincer movement."
"Everything is still the same," Lelouch said to himself "Cornelia and Davis replace Clovis but Britannia never changes."
"Lelouch," Kallen said over the com "everyone is in position, were a waiting for you orders."
"Excellent," Lelouch said "it looks like it's time to call the Yamato alliance." He finished as he began to call the Yamato alliance.
Scene Break:
Meanwhile at the headquarters of the Yamato alliance, all the members were talking about how they would escape.
"It's hopeless," one member said
"Can't we break through the one of the subway lines?" another asked
"The army is blocking it," the first said "can't use back roads either."
"Any reinforcements from Akabari or Jujo," another member asked
"Some men may get through but not a group…." One of them said as someone came running in
"You have to listen to this," the person said as he approached the group as he hold out a radio
"This is Terminal…." Lelouch said from the radio
"Terminal…"one of them said
"You mean…" another said
"I know all of you have heard about the Shinjuku battles," Lelouch said "do as I say and you all will be saved."
Scene Break:
"B-12 suppression complete," one of the G-1 personnel said
"F-7 no sign of the enemy," another said
"Paladin team change course to 5-1-6," a third one said
"Yes my lord, moving to 5-1-6." the leader said "no response at all, this Terminal group might turn out to be a no show."
"Guess he's just another run of a mill terrorists," he said as two rockets impacted the two of them.
Scene Break:
"They came," one of the members of the Yamato alliance said "they really came."
"Just like that guy from Terminal said they would." Another member said
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, Lelouch and Kallen were on top of a damaged building watching the battle unfold.
"R-1, R-2, maintain distance, draw them back to the area N-2 is." Lelouch commanded "B-7 open fire towards two o'clock." He finished as an enemy tank was destroyed.
"B-5's team will continue its barrage," Lelouch said as a group of Sutherlands destroyed two enemy Sutherlands.
"Wow Lelouch nice moves," Kallen said
"Thanks Kallen," Lelouch said "but this is just the beginning."
Scene Break:
"Gester team contact has been lost." One of the personnel aboard the G-1 said
"Enemy spotted in district G-47." Another said
"Kaczinski team engaging… they were ambushed…" a third one said
"The enemy appears to be using Sutherlands captured from our own forces." A fourth one said
"Exactly the same as Shinjuku…" one of the officers that belonged to Clovis said
"Has there been any sign of this Terminal group yet?" another officer belonging to Clovis asked as Cornelia just stared at the battle.
Scene Break:
"N-2 continue towards the upper right," Lelouch commanded as a fighter was destroyed by a Slash Harken
"R-4 fire!" Lelouch said as another Sutherland took out a tank
"N-1, take the man on the left!" Lelouch said as a Sutherland hit the ground
"Right P-1, take out the bridge and close out their route now." Lelouch said as a bridge's joints exploded as the bridge came down taking out all the forces on it.
Scene Break:
"Point 1-7 has fallen! Halley team contact lost!" An officer said
"That's enough," Cornelia said "order all our forces to fall back. Further damage and casualties serve no point."
"Fall back," one of Clovis officer said
"With all due respect we can still fight them." Another said
"We can't fight them like this," Cornelia said
"All forces fall back behind ghetto perimeter at once! Formation does not matter!" Darlton ordered as all of Cornelia's troops fell back.
Scene Break:
"So she's pulling all her troops back," Lelouch said as he looked at the map "just like I predicted." He finished as he contacted the Yamato alliance "all members of the Yamato alliance great job, now fall back and retreat."
"Fall back," a member of the Yamato alliance said "why we are winning this."
"This is a diversion to lower us into a trap," Lelouch explained "We of Terminal already have a plan. Just get out of here and save yourselves."
"Understood," the Yamato alliance member said as all of them began to retreat from the battle.
Lelouch then contacted the others "Is everyone ready?" he asked
"I'm in position," Inoue said
"The four of us are ready as well…" Ohgi said
"Hurry up kid," Hilda said "the three of us are getting bored."
Lelouch nodded his head "Alright," he said "Inoue when you see a Gloucester that is purple take it out and continue to fire at the other troops, then Hilda and her team will engage from the front while Ohgi and the others attack from the rear and Kallen and I will attack from above." He finished as Inoue nodded her head "Now Cornelia your no match you will lose… even though I would love to talk to you about my mother… I would rather follow what Terminal is doing… after all they helped Nunnally and are helping me with my war against Britannia, this is the least I can do for them."
Scene Break:
"This time Terminal is no match for me," Cornelia said "I will win."
"Huh?" One of Clovis men said
"Of course," Darlton said "that is why you are known as the Goddess of Victory."
Cornelia turned to Guilford "Shall we go then Guilford my knight?" she asked
"It is a pleasure to serve and obey you my lady." Guilford said as he gave a bow to her as he made his way out.
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, Inoue was on a building 50 meters from the G-1 base. Thanks to the Infiltrator pack, she was able to get pass all of Cornelia's forces.
"How long till they show up?" Inoue questioned as she waited for the enemy to move. Just then she saw three Gloucesters coming out of the G-1 base, one of them was colored purple. "Finally." She said as she got into position. The purple Gloucester was moving at a slow pace, making it easy for Inoue to hit her. "Too easy," she said as she took the shot and hit the lower part of the purple Gloucester making it keel over.
Scene Break:
"What!" Cornelia yelled as she saw her knight's Knightmare keel over. "Guilford!"
"What happened?" Darlton asked
"Unknown sir," one of the officers said "a heat source just came out of nowhere and hit lord Guilford." He finished as the computer detected more heat sources "more heat sources in coming!" he yelled as several of Cornelia's forces were shot down. This promoted the remaining forces to scramble all around the area.
"Order our troops to stay still," Cornelia said "tell them to stop scrambling all around the area."
Scene Break:
Lelouch smirked as he saw Cornelia's troops panicking "Creating a small distraction like sniper fire to make the enemy panic and disorganize." He finished as he contacted Hilda and Ohgi "Hilda, Ohgi, your teams can attack now. Hit them hard and fast."
"Right," Ohgi said
"Finally…"Hilda said as both of them ended their transmissions.
Lelouch then contacted Kallen "Kallen you ready?" he asked
Kallen nodded her head "Let's do this." She said as the two of them lifted up into the air and flew towards the enemy.
Scene Break:
Cornelia gritted her teeth as she saw her forces begin to scatter. "Tell those men to get back in line now!" she ordered
"Viceroy," Darlton yelled "three unknown signals are approaching towards us at 5x the rate of any Knightmare frame in existence."
"What," Cornelia yelled "bring it them on the screen now!"
Darlton nodded his head as he brought the image of three Knightmare frames. All three of them had one red eye, purple arms and legs, and a black body and red head. Each of them had a gun on their backs as well as a rod of some sort.
"What the devil!" Cornelia said as she saw the suits "tell our troops to shoot them down."
Darlton nodded his head as he ordered the men to shoot them down.
Scene Break:
"Finally some action…" Mars said as he saw the enemy approaching them
"I wonder how strong these guys are." Herbert asked "I heard they are weaker than the Vanguards."
"Well let's see how well these guys fight," Hilda said "Let's do this!" she yelled as they charged the enemy.
All three of them began to use their JPS36X Giga-Launcher DR1 multiplex, shooting at any enemy that came towards them. Each of their shoots destroyed the Sutherlands like a hot knife through butter. Because of this action, groups of Sutherlands and the 2 Gloucesters that were with Guilford came together and began to shoot at the DOM Trooper Trio.
"Alright boys let's bring them together" Hilda said as all three of them went into a straight line. Hilda drew her MA-X848HD enhanced beam saber and activated her leftMX2351 "Solidus Fulgor" beam shield.
"Jet Stream Attack!" all three of them yelled as Hilda's suit began to release a red aura as it charged the group of Sutherlands and Gloucesters. All three of them either shot or sliced a Sutherland as they approached the enemy. When the two Gloucesters tried to attack the three of them, one of them ended up getting sliced in half while the second one was shot to pieces.
Scene Break:
"What in blazes?" Darlton said shocked at what he was seeing.
Cornelia's eyes hardened "Have the Purist faction engage them now!" she ordered
"Viceroy," one of the bridge officers said "4 more enemies have shown up from behind."
"What!" Cornelia said
Scene Break:
Behind the G-1 base, Ohgi and the others were engaging the Purist faction.
"Take this!" Yoshida yelled as he used his CGUE's MMI-M7S 76mm heavy assault machine gun to mow down 4 Purist factions suits.
"Who the hell are these guys?" Kewell yelled as he was fighting against Sugiyama
"How should I know," Villetta yelled as she was fighting against Minami
"Will the both of you stop yelling and continue to fight!" Jeremiah yelled as he was fighting against Ohgi.
Sugiyama got in close and drew his ES04B beam saber and sliced through the legs of Kewell's Sutherland.
"Kewell!" Jeremiah yelled as he saw his ally fall
Minami blocked a strike from Villetta's Sutherland before using his M703K beam carbine to blast through her units head. Then Minami kicked her away.
"Villetta!" Jeremiah yelled again
Seeing that his opponent was busy, Ohgi dropped his MMI-M633 beam assault rifle and drew his MA-MR Falx G7 beam axe and MA-M8 beam tomahawk. He then threw the team tomahawk towards Jeremiah. The tomahawk cut through Jeremiah's Sutherland's right arm. Ohgi then brought his beam axe threw the torso of Jeremiah's suit cutting it in half horizontally.
"Man these guys were easy," Sugiyama said
"Yeah," Ohgi said "and to think we use to think Sutherlands were the greatest."
"Hey Yoshida how's it going," Minami asked
"Just finishing up," Yoshida said as he brought his MA-M4A heavy sword down on the last Sutherland belonging to the Purist faction.
Scene Break:
"How did those frames get behind us?" Cornelia asked as she glared at the four frames in front of her.
"Viceroy," Darlton said "enemy above us!" he finished as Cornelia's eyes widen.
Scene Break:
Kallen in her Murasame's mobile armor form shot down towards the enemy below following behind her was Lelouch in his Slaughter Dagger IWSP. While in mobile armor mode, Kallen activated the Murasame's M2M5D 12.5mm CIWS and Type 72 high-energy beam cannon onto the enemies that remained on the ground. Those that survived that onslaught were dealt with by Lelouch as he activated his Slaughter Dagger IWSP's Igelstellung II 40mm multi-barrel CIWS's, 12.5mm anti-infantry guns, 115mm railguns, 105mm cannons, 30mm 6-barrel Gatling machine gun, and MX703G beam rifle down onto the remaining enemies that Kallen missed. After the combined bombardment, only a handful of Sutherlands remained.
"Not bad rookie," Hilda said over the com as she sliced through a Sutherland "you might be Terminal material after all."
"Thanks," Lelouch said as his Slaughter Dagger touched the ground.
"Ha too easy," Kallen as she transformed her Murasame and drew her Type 72 Kai Ikazuchi beam rifle and her Type 70J Kai beam saber "you ready to finish this Lelouch?"
"More than ready," Lelouch said as he put away his MX703G beam rifle and drew one of his 9.1 meter anti-ship swords "Let's finish this!" he yelled as he and Kallen charged the remaining Sutherlands ready to finish them off.
Scene Break:
Cornelia watched in horror as all of her troops were decimated so easily.
"Viceroy," Darlton said "all our troops have been wiped out… we are completely defenseless."
Cornelia shook as all of the enemy frames approached her. Never in all her life other than the second battle of Shinjuku, has she lost so easily like this and now she had no way out of this mess; right now she would either die or be captured by the enemy.
Darlton looked as he received a communications from the enemy "Viceroy we are receiving a transmission from the enemy." He said
"Put it on the screen." Cornelia said as Darlton nodded his head and opened the transmission as Lelouch wearing a black space suit and tinted helmet appeared on the screen.
"Ah Viceroy Cornelia li Britannia," Lelouch said "it is nice to see you."
Cornelia glared at Lelouch "And who might you be," she asked "you aren't the same man who defeated me in Shinjuku."
"Ah I am not," Lelouch said "I am a new Commander in Terminal you may call me… Zero"
"Alright Zero," Cornelia said "what do you plan on doing now, do you plan on killing me or perhaps capture me and hold me ransom?"
Lelouch was about to reply when a message came in to him from Dearka, so he decided to activated it.
"Hey guys," Dearka said over the com "mission accomplished we have evacuated most of the civilians from Saitama. You guys can head back now."
"Rodger that," Lelouch said as he and the others prepared to leave.
"Wait," Cornelia said "you are just going to leave?"
"You weren't our objective Viceroy," Lelouch said "our only job was to distract you while one of our groups got the civilians out to safety. Until next time Viceroy…" He finished as he and the other left leaving a very angry Cornelia behind.
Scene Break:
After the team returned to the Archangel, who was hiding underneath Tokyo bay, the entire team was celebrating their success in this mission while Lelouch and Kallen were busy in a meeting of some sorts with Ryu, Shinn, Jay, and May.
"Man I can't believe how easily we took out the Britannian army like that." Sugiyama said as the others nodded their head.
"I know," Inoue said "I still can't believe it; I mean we were out numbered 3 to 1 and we still came out on top."
"I wish I was out there with you guys," Tamaki said "I could of used some action, all I did was practice on the simulator while the rest of you were having fun."
"But you got to admit," Ohgi said "if it weren't for the technology that Terminal had or Lelouch's strategy, we wouldn't be able to win this." He finished as everyone nodded their heads in agreement. Just then Ryu, Lelouch, Kallen, Shinn, Jay, May and C.C. entered the room.
"Well done guys," Ryu said "your mission was a success, I congratulate all of you."
"Hey Ryu," Ohgi said "who's the girl?"
"Her name's C.C. and she will be staying with Lelouch for the time being," Ryu explained "for right now, you guys are on leave until further notice but I expect all of you to return back to Valhalla and continue to train everyday understand?" he finished as everyone nodded their heads "other than that your next mission will be in a few weeks. So I'll see you guys later." He finished as he made his way out while the others continued to celebrate.
Scene Break:
A few weeks later, Lelouch, Ryu, Kira, Shinn, Jay, and May were entering one of the hanger bays that were on the Valhalla. The reason why they were entering one of the hanger bays was because Erica and the Professor finished refitting the Sutherlands to Terminal standards.
"Hey guys," Erica said as she saw the group enter the hanger bay "you are made it."
"So why are we down here Erica, Professor?" Ryu asked
"Erica and I just finished upgrading the Sutherlands," the Professor said as she flipped a switch "behold… I present the TMDF – 014 coded name Sherwood," she finished as she presented the improved Sutherlands.
The head of the Knightmare is the same as the original Sutherland but had helmet design similar to the Gundams. The arms of the Knightmare were the same as the Strike Gundam but the shoulders were the same as the original Sutherland. The torso of the new Knightmare was the same form as that of the torso for the Duel Gundam. The legs of the Knightmare were design to look like the legs of the Strike Gundam but still had the landspiners that the original Sutherlands had.
"Impressive," Ryu said as he and the others looked at the new Knightmare frames.
"Thanks," Erica said "because these are a new form of Knightmare frames, we have changed their name from Knightmare frames to Orbital frames. We added Rocket Thrust system into the design. We also removed the Slash Harkens from these Sutherlands and replaced them with 2 Chest-mounted 75mm Anti Air CIWS. We also gave these units a 57mm High-energy Beam Rifle as well as two ES04B beam saber located on the side of the suit. Combining the date we got from that sword that Jay brought with him, we created something we like to call Armored MVS Combat Knives. Like the original Strike had, it is equipped in special compartments on the sides of this unit."
"Speaking of the sword," Jay said "are my custom swords for the Valor almost ready?"
The Professor nodded her head "Yes," she said "they should be done in a few weeks. Any way we replaced the power source of this unit with an Ultracompact Energy Battery. We also rearranged the cockpit so that it is now located in the Torso of the frame and we replaced the controls with a Panoramic Cockpit . Some of the optional armaments these units can have are either two shoulder-mounted 220 mm 5-barrel Missile Pod or one Shoulder-mounted Shiva 115mm Railgun."
"Nice," Lelouch said as he looked at the frames "so these are the suits that my squad will be using?"
Erica nodded her head "Yes," she said "which is why I plan on painting these units black and purple."
Ryu nodded his head "excellent," he said "now if you excuse us the rest of us need to make a plan for tomorrow's operation." He finished as the he and the others made their way out while Erica and the Professor prepared to paint the units.
Scene Break:
The next day, Shirley, Milly, and Nina were riding a train towards Lake Kawaguchi to have a relaxing weekend. They had invited Kallen and the boys with them but Kallen and Lelouch had prior engagements while Suzaku and Rivalz had work to do that day so it was just the girls.
"I never left the Tokyo settlement before," Shirley said "this is my first time."
"I'm sure you wish Lelouch could of come with us don't you?" Milly asked
"No…"Shirley said in embarrassment
"Don't be so shy," Milly said "tonight we can stay up all night talking. Let's tell each other which boys we like from school."
"Then you probably have a lot to talk about… right Miss President?" Shirley said with a frown
"Who can say…?" Milly said as they entered the tunnel. When that happened Nina became scared and grabbed her sweater. Milly then put her hands into Nina's "Nina it's alright," Milly said "there are lots of Britannian tourists at Lake Kawaguchi so security's fine. Don't be afraid it's not the ghettos."
"Yes but…" Nina said
"Will be with you the whole time," Milly said "we won't leave your side for a second."
"T-thanks," Nina said as the road in silence as they headed towards their destination
"Wow," Shirley said as she saw their destination not knowing that there would be danger when they got there.
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, back on the Archangel, Ohgi and the others were lounging around, waiting for their next mission.
"I'm bored," Minami said as he picked up a TV remote "let's see what's on the TV." He finished as he turned on the TV. Just then the news appeared.
"How are things looking at the scene?" a news anchor asked
"What's this?" Kallen asked
""I'm here in front of the Lake Kawaguchi hotel and convention center;" a news reporter said "the hotel-jackers have identified themselves as the Japan Liberation Front."
"Huh," Tamaki said
"What's happening?" Ohgi asked
"Several members of the Sakuradite allocation meeting most notably Chairman James have been taken hostage as well as several tourists and Britannian hotel employees." The reporter explained as a picture of people kneeling on the floor with their hands above their head appeared "This footage was taken by the perpetrators in it you can clearly see Chairman James, including some students."
"The student council…" Kallen said as she saw her friends being held hostage.
"The leader of the group claims to be Lt. Col. Kusakabe of the now defunct Japanese Military." The reporter explained "Sakuradite, an essential component in the manufacture of high tempter super conductors is a vital strategic resource that directly affects world security. Area Eleven is the world's largest producer of Sakuradite, providing seventy percent of the world's total supply. Here at the yearly international meeting of Sakuradite producers, it will be determined who this resource is distributed among the world's nations. It's no exaggeration to say that the outcome determines the balance of global power between Britannia and other nations of the world. It is believed that the terrorists are using world interest in the annual gathering to their advantage by carrying out this violent hotel take over." She finished as Ryu, Shinn, Jay, and Lelouch entered the room.
"I see you guys have been watching the news." Ryu asked as everyone nodded their heads.
"Yeah," Tamaki said as he looked at the screen "they made their move."
"They're easily the biggest anti-Britannian force in Japan," Ohgi explained "and now their prides hurt."
"Because of us?" Minami asked
"Maybe," Ohgi said
"I don't know whether to be happy or sad about that because they're all going to end up dead." Tamaki said
"Which is why we will be saving them." Jay said getting the attention of everyone in the room
"What," Tamaki exclaimed "why would we save them they are Britannians."
"Britannians or not they are still innocent civilians;" Shinn explained "from what we learned from Britannia, the Britannian military has attacked and eliminated many innocent Japanese civilians. Do you guys really want to stoop down to Britannia's level and kill innocent people who have not done anything intentionally towards the Japanese people?"
No one had an answer to this as they began to think about what Shinn said. Truth be told, none of the Britannian civilians hadn't intentionally hurt any of the Japanese people, most of the people who did hurt their people were the military or perhaps a few nobles. But other than that, there weren't any Britannian civilian that had hurt them.
"Ok," Ohgi said "what's the plan?"
"We came up with a plan for this yesterday," Lelouch explained "our group along with three other squads, are going to rescue them, in order to do so we will need to be stealthy for this mission so we will leave at dark." He finished as the others nodded their head "Here's the plan…" he said as he began to explain the plan for the attack on the Japan Liberation Front.
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, back at the hotel, Kusakabe was explaining to the hostages as to why they were doing what they were doing.
"I'm Kusakabe of the Japan Liberation Front. This stand we are taking is for the freedom of Japan and our countrymen." Kusakabe said as most of the hostages were looking at them in fear as Nina was holding onto Milly tightly "Even though you are not soldiers you are still Britannians! You are the ones who rule and oppress us! Sit still be quiet and you'll be fine! If you don't…" he trailed off as everyone knew what was going to happen.
"Lulu…"Shirley said fearfully. Unbeknownst to everyone there, two people were with the group of hostages that weren't afraid. One was a blond haired woman and one was a pink haired woman. Both of them were wearing casual clothing, blending in with the group. These two people with in the group were Lacus and May. May had worn a fake wig in order to hide identity of being someone who looks like a Japanese person.
'I sure hope this plan works guys,' May thought as she began to think about the plan in which the others thought up for this situation.
Flashback:
After taking a look at the new Orbital Frames that were built, the group got together to talk about the Lake Kawaguchi take over that would happen the next day.
"From what we have learned about the Japan Liberation Front," Ryu explained "this act is being done because their pride has been hurt because of us, our guess is that they are only doing this to get attention towards them. We have estimated that they will have taken out two bridges leaving only the main one. We have also estimated that air and water approaches will be impossible. Also the last entrance to the hotel, the utility tunnel, will be blocked by something called a "Raiko," according to information, its 4 Glasgows modified into some type of linear cannon."
"That's just despicable," Jay said "taking measures like this to get attention pathetic."
"I agree," Dearka said "so what's the plan on how we are going to handle this incident, I even here that the student council from Lelouch's school, are even planning to have a weekend trip tomorrow to the lake."
Lacus looked at Ryu "Couldn't we use a matter transport to beam the hostages out?" she asked
Ryu shook his head "We can't do that," he said "Murdoch said that because of a sort fuse the transporters have we can only beam two people at a time. He also said that it would take about a day or two to fix it and I told him we don't have the time for it. And if we begin to beam people out two people at a time, the soldiers may begin to panic and shoot all the hostages."
"Then do we have another plan then
Kira nodded her head in understanding as she brought up an image on the screen "Here is the plan," she explained "Three squads along with your squad Lelouch will rescue the hostages."
"Great plan," Shinn said "except one problem, how do we get three squads past the Britannian army let alone the Japan Liberation Front?"
"Simple," Ryu said as he brought out 100 weird looking rectangular devices some of them in different colors but most in green, black, black and purple, or blue and crimson "we use these to get through them."
"What the hell are these supposed to be?" Shinn asked as he looked at the devices.
Ryu looked at Jay "Here," he said as he through the device at Jay. "Put it on your chest and press the gray button."
Jay looked at the device; it was black and had his team's symbol on it. His team's symbol was that of two Katanas crossing each other. On the side of the symbol, was a gray button of some sorts.
"Ok," Jay said as he put the device on his chest and pressed the button "But I don't see what's going to…" he finished as a light flashed before him blinding everyone. When the light died, Jay was wearing black and gray armor with a Helmet with two horns on it. On the right side of the armor was Jay's team symbol and on the left side was a button of some sorts. (Similar to Ventus armor from Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep.)
"Wow," Jay said as he looked at the armor he was now wearing "this is so cool, what is this."
"Kira and I developed this armor for all are troops to where when we are in battle," Ryu explained "we call them G-armor."
"Other than looking really cool what does it do?" Shinn asked
"The armor is bullet proof, heat, and even cold proof. It has magnetic grip which will allow the user to scale buildings. The armor is also built with its own Mirage Colloid system that can last up to 12 hours," Ryu explained "it comes with 2 built in mini-beam sabers; located in the arms of the armor, 2 mini-beam pistols; located on the sides; each of these weapons as their own power source, grappling hooks located in the armors writs and the best part is the button on the left side."
"What's it do?" Jay asked
"Press it," Kira said as Jay nodded his head as he pressed the button, just then black energy crow wings appeared on Jay's back. "We also added energy wings to allow the user to fly."
"I feel so cool right now," Jay said as he began to hug himself "I may never take this armor off."
Ryu laughed at this "I'm glad you like it," he said "with these new suits we can use them to sneak our men into the building without any trouble."
"Ok," Lowe said "we have a plan for getting in to the hotel but what about after that and what about this "cannon" in the tunnel?"
"Don't worry," Lelouch said "I got that part of the plan covered."
"And as for the tunnel," Ryu said "I plan on sending Chase inside the Blitz to go down and take care of the cannon."
"Still," May said "getting in and destroying the cannon may not be the only trouble that may happen, there may be trouble within the hotel itself," she said as she looked at Lelouch "you said that one of your friends has Xenophobia correct?"
Lelouch nodded his head "Yes," he said "her names Nina and she has Xenophobia really bad."
May nodded her head in understanding "In my practice I have dealt with people who have Xenophobia," she said as she looked at Ryu "she may end up putting the hostages in danger if she has a panic attack. I recommend sending at least two people down to watch the hostages."
Kira nodded her head in agreement "I agree," she said "but who should we send down?"
"I'll go," May volunteered "I'll wear a blond wig to disguise myself plus I'll have the armor with me if something goes wrong."
"Very well," Ryu said "but who else do we send down with you?"
"I'll go," Lacus volunteered as everyone looked at her "I would look like a Britannian and not be questioned by people."
"But Lacus," Kira said "you don't have combat training for this mission, what if something goes wrong?"
Lacus smiled at Kira "Don't worry Kira," she said "I'll be fine."
Ryu nodded his head in understanding "Very well," he said as he got up "if that's the plan then I recommend we get some sleep, we're going to need it for tomorrow." He finished as everyone nodded their heads and left ready for the big day for tomorrow.
Flashback Ended:
'I really hope that whatever plan Lelouch comes up with is a very good plan.' May thought as she fingered her armor device and watched the soldiers walking about watching the hostages 'because right now there are too many soldiers for me to deal with by myself without getting the civilians in danger.'
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, on the G-1 Mobile base, Cornelia, Davis, and Clovis were on the bridge with many different officers discussing the information they were getting about the situation.
"All bridges connecting to the hotel with the exception of the main one have been destroyed." An officer explained "Our attempted approaches from the air and the water have been unsuccessful. Our only remaining route left that will allow us to develop a possible rescue plan is the main utilities tunnel running right under the convention center hotel. Basically we would go in through this route, destroy the foundation block and submerge the hotel. Since the hotel was also built to handle supply deliveries it should be able to accommodate Sutherlands. Even if the enemy has taken precautions it should be no problem. They've been using substandard weaponry so we'll have no trouble evading them. "
Scene Break:
Down below in the main utilities tunnel, three Sutherlands were preparing to charge the enemy.
"Go…"the lead pilot said as he and his wing men charged the through the tunnel.
"Enemy detected," one of the men piloting the Raiko said "as expected they're moving through the underground tunnel."
"Rodger that," his co-pilot said "Raiko Left and right quad-linkage legs, locked. Super electromagnetic shrapnel cannon voltage, confirmed!" he finished as he prepared to launch the cannon.
The three Sutherlands were blazing towards their target "I think these guys have anti-Knightmare rifles. Spread out and break their ranks." The leader ordered
"Super electromagnetic shrapnel cannon fire!" the second man yelled as he press the button and launched a bullet that broke up into a spread form destroying all three of the Sutherlands before they even reached their target.
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, Kusakabe and his men were cheering about their new weapon.
"One shot!" one member said
"Yes it works!" another cheered.
"The Raiko really works!" a third one said
"What do you think of that, Britannian pigs?" Kusakabe said smugly.
Scene Break:
"Wiped out?" Darlton exclaimed as he heard the news of the unsuccessful event in the tunnel.
"It looks as though they modified a Glasgow into a linear cannon!" one of the officers said
"Then there is no way we can break through?" Clovis said shocked by this
"What do we do now? If we release the political prisoners like they demand…" another of her advisers said before being interrupted by Cornelia.
"We can't show weakness to terrorists!" Cornelia yelled
Guilford the approached and knelt towards Cornelia. Although his suit had been shot down, he had survived the fight at Saitama. "But Princess Euphemia… she's…" he said
"Yes I know…" Cornelia said
"Thus far it seems that none of them have discovered that fact," Darlton said "if they learn that Princess Euphemia is among the hostages they'll use her as a bargaining chip. She went their just to observe to observe… therefore she isn't registered along with the other guests."
Davis gritted his teeth "That's it I'm going to negotiate with them to allow the terrorists to let some of the civilians go free." He said as everyone looked at him in shock.
"Davis you can't…" Cornelia said but was interrupted by Davis.
"I can't what Cornelia!" Davis yelled "I can't willingly be a big brother and sacrifice myself to see that his little sister is safe? I already had to deal with the pain of losing a brother I considered to be one of my best friends and a sister I loved as much as the two of you. I can't lose another one especially my own flesh and blood."
Cornelia looked at her brother in shock "Davis… I…" she said before Clovis interrupted her.
"I know you want to help Euphie, Davis, I do too." Clovis said "but sacrificing yourself isn't the answer."
"I don't care!" Davis yelled but before he could do anything Clovis punched him the gut "C-Clovis…" he said as he passed out from the pain.
"I'm sorry brother," Clovis said sadly "but you left me no choice." He finished as he looked at two of the officers "take him to his room and lock the door."
"Yes sir!" both soldiers said as they took Davis away.
Clovis looked at Cornelia "I'm sorry sister," he said "but I didn't want to lose him as well as Euphie… I already felt heartbroken when we lost Lelouch and Nunnally… and if Davis were to give himself up…I would hate to think what would happen…"
Cornelia nodded her head "your right," she said "I just hope we can get through this in one piece…"
"Maybe this Terminal group will intervene…" Clovis said
Cornelia's eyes hardened "If they do," she said "then I will defeat them."
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, Lloyd, Cecile, and Suzaku were looking at the hotel waiting for further orders.
"Can't the special core offer any assistance with the rescue operation?" Suzaku asked
"I've already asked them," Lloyd explained "but we're an irregular and they don't acknowledge our chain of command. Besides…" he finished as he skipped a stone through the water.
"It's too risky to entrust to and eleven, right?" Suzaku said
"Yet I'm sure you're a where that Princess Cornelia is very discriminating between Britannians and Numbers." Lloyd said
"So the Japanese aren't being accepted enough into your structure?" Suzaku asked
"If that were true," Cecile said "then what would be the point of the honorary Britannian system?"
Lloyd and Suzaku became quit for a few minutes before Lloyd began to smirk "Maybe Terminal will come and intervene…" he said
Suzaku and Cecile looked at him "What do you mean?" Suzaku said
"This group has more power and more smarts than anything we Britannians can think of," Lloyd explained "For example those Knightmare frames they possess… they easily defeated all of our Knightmare frames as well the Lancelot. If anyone can get through this situation… it is them." He finished as Suzaku looked silently towards the hotel.
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, Lelouch and the others were preparing for the mission at hand.
"Ok so let me get this straight," Jay said as he looked at Lelouch "your plan is for us and your squad to walk straight through the main gate, while the rest of our men to use their Mirage Colloid to sneak in?"
Lelouch nodded his head "Right," he said "if I'm right about Kusakabe then he'll want to meet the infamous Terminal group for what they pulled at Shinjuku and Saitama."
Ryu nodded his head "Interesting," he said "but that's not the only reason why we would do this is it?"
Lelouch nodded his head "That's right," he said "you see, Cornelia would have already sacrificed the hostages by now to stop the terrorists but she hasn't…"
"This means, there must be something or someone in the hotel that Cornelia will not want to risk getting hurt." Jay conclude as Lelouch nodded his head
"Exactly," Lelouch said "my guess is that something important to Cornelia is also in the hotel as well and is preventing her from acting. But there is something else I would like to do to."
"What would that be?" Shinn asked
"I think we should let the world know who we are," Lelouch said "I think we should use this to broadcast our organization to the world."
Jay nodded his head in agreement "I agree," he said
"Very well," Ryu said "but how would we broadcast the message?"
Lelouch smiled "We just need to steal a News van…" he said
Scene Break:
Back at the lake, it was already night time as the situation began to become uneasy.
"Those teenage hostages are friends of yours from school aren't they?" Cecile asked as she and Lloyd began to work on the Lancelot "They're still negotiating so let's not give up hope."
"I have faith in the system." Suzaku said "I prefer the logic of systems to personal emotions." He finished as he saw something on his screen "Miss Cecile look!" he said as he saw four JLF soldiers have a man tied up onto the roof of the hotel.
"What are they going to do to him?" Cecile asked
"Oh no… Don't do it." Suzaku said as he realized what those men were going to do as they pushed the man off the ledge "Nooooo!" he cried as he watched the man die.
Scene Break:
Meanwhile at the G-1 mobile base, Kusakabe was talking to Cornelia.
"Our demands have gone unanswered." Kusakabe said "There for we will throw one hostage from the roof every thirty minutes until our terms are met. For the sake of the hostages negotiations better be in good faith!" he finished as he ended the transmission. After that, Cornelia, Darlton, Guilford, and Clovis exited the bridge.
"This is their warning," Darlton said "barbarians."
"For now," Guilford said "we can negotiate to get the woman and children out…" he said before being interrupted by Cornelia.
"Forget it," Cornelia said "if you give in to their conditions even once then your simply legitimizing Terrorism."
"Then do we use force?" Darlton asked
"We would pursue that course of action after we secure the safety of Princess Euphemia." Guilford said as Cornelia gritted her teeth.
'Euphie…I' Cornelia thought as a soldier came out from behind them
"Viceroy," the soldier said "it's Terminal… we just received a message from them." He finished as the four of them turned toward him.
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, Diethard Ried was fishing when he got the news about Terminal.
"What?" Diethard said "what do you mean van 3 was stolen by Zero. What the hell was Gibson doing all the while?"
"He said as he realized what was happening it was too late." The person giving him the information said
"And where's van 3 now?" Diethard asked
"Driving straight towards the military." The person said
"Huh?" Diethard said
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, the TV van was driving through towards the military. On the van were four people. One of the people was Jay in his armor. The one behind him was someone with green armor with a helmet with a Dragon on it; this was Ryu in his Dragon armor. The one next to him was someone with a black and gold cape rapped around him; he wore a black helmet with a purple glass cover on the front, this was Lelouch in his new Zero armor. Behind Lelouch, was a man in dark blue and crimson armor similar to Jay's armor except his helmet didn't have the horns like Jay's did. Meanwhile inside the van, Lelouch's squad was debating about this plan.
"This is never going to work…"Tamaki complained. Like Lelouch and the others, their squad along with the people of the three squads that came with them was now wearing special armor given to them by Ryu. Their armor looked similar to Lelouch's except they didn't get a cape like he did. The only one who had completely different armor compared to the others was Kallen. Her armor was red and crimson. (Aqua's armor from Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep except it is red and crimson)
"Quit complaining Tamaki," Inoue said "you just need to trust them, after all they have gotten out of worse messes than this."
"Still," Tamaki said before being interrupted by Kallen
"Quit complaining Tamaki,"Kallen said "We're already here…" she finished as the group made their way towards the main bridge before being stopped by Cornelia, Darlton, and Guilford in their Gloucesters.
Cornelia then got out of her Gloucester "So who might you four be?" she asked "you say you're from Terminal but I don't know if you are or not."
Lelouch laughed at this "Come now Princess Cornelia you should know who I am… after all I was the one who defeated you at Saitama." He said
Cornelia gritted her teeth "So you are the one known as Zero correct?"
"Yes indeed,"Lelouch or Zero in this case as he pointed toward Ryu "And my friend here was the one who defeated you at Shinjuku here is my mentor Ryu Yamato also known as the Dragon of Redemption. In front of him is Jay Ryosukei known as the Warrior of Valor and finally the man behind me is Shinn Asuka known as the Guardian of Destiny."
"So what reason are you here," Cornelia asked "are the lot of you members of the Japan Liberation Front or perhaps intend to help us…regardless our concerns take priority over yours so the fact that you wounded my pride as well as Britannia's I shall take my revenge right now." She finished as she brought out her weapon and aimed it at Zero.
"Cornelia…which would you chose," Zero said "the stupid pride that makes up Britannia…"
"Which need to be pegged down if you ask me…"Jay interrupted
"Or your sister Euphemia who you love so very much?" Zero asked as Cornelia's eyes widened 'So my suspicions were correct, Euphie is inside that hotel… which means we really need to save the people inside the hotel.' "It is within our power to rescue Euphemia for you." He said as Cornelia's eyes widened again.
"What do you mean," Cornelia said "I have no idea what you are talking about."
"I said that we are able to save her," Zero said
Cornelia gritted her teeth "Fine," She said "I'll let you pass." She finished as all three of the Gloucesters moved away from the TV van.
"I'll make sure to save her Viceroy…"Zero said as the van began to move towards the bridge.
"Viceroy, why did you allow them to pass?" Darlton asked
"I believe that by letting Terminal go in," Cornelia explained "we can by some time until the next hostage is executed. So this is our chance to hit them both at the same time."
"Oh and Viceroy," Zero said as the TV van made a stop "if you think that you can use us as a way to distract the JLF… you are dead wrong." He finished as he looked at Ryu and nodded his head.
Ryu nodded his head and activated the com in his helmet "Chase you are clear to drop." He said
"Rodger that General!" Chase said as the Blitz appeared out of nowhere above the Viceroy and her troops dropped some-type of round object onto them. The bomb exploded letting out an electrical pulse that hit all of the Viceroy's troops as well as the R&D truck. Luckily the TV van that the group was riding in as well as the other TV van missed the blast radiance."
"Nice work Chase,"Ryu said "now continue with the other part of the mission."
"Yes sir," Chase said as the Blitz disappeared
"What the hell did you just do?" Cornelia yelled as she tried to start up her Gloucester.
"Isn't it obvious," Zero said "we are preventing you from interfering, what we used was an EMP bomb, now all of your Knightmare frames are now inoperable." He finished as Cornelia broke out in rage.
"Zero!" Cornelia yelled as she became angry at Zero and Terminal for preventing her from rescuing her sister as she watched the van leave the area. When they were out of sound distance, Shinn turned towards Zero.
"Dude how did you know your sister Euphemia was there?" Shinn asked
"I didn't," Zero said "I just took a shot at theory and I was right."
Ryu nodded his head in understanding "I see," he said "so do you think the Japan Liberation Front will join us?"
"Either they will accept us as our ally," Zero explained "or they will treat us as more than a nuisance. Although in any case, I highly doubt that they can't resist the temptation of meeting the infamous Terminal group. So we shall see what their next move is."
Jay nodded his head "And if they don't join us," he said as he fingers the Katana that he had hidden on his back "I'll take care of it." He finished as the two guards at the gate moved out of the way and let the van through.
"It looks like the first part of the plan is going according to plan."Lelouch said as he smirked from under his mask.
"Yeah," Jay said "let's hope the May and Lacus are ok." He finished as the group entered the hotel.
Scene Break:
Back with the hostages, Nina was beginning to have a panic attack. Things turned from bad to worse as one of the Japan Liberation Front soldiers got to close to Nina.
"An E-eleven." Nina said as she saw the man
The man became upset as he heard what Nina said to him "What did you say?" the man yelled as Nina began to freak out and he pointed his gun at Shirley, Milly, and Nina "not Eleven, were Japanese damn it! Got that?"
"Yes we understand that," Milly said angrily "just lay off over her."
"Then correct her…" the Soldier said "we're not called Elevens."
"Fine will correct her!" Shirley yelled
"How dare you," the soldier yelled as Shirley became scared at him "you three come with me to the next room and I'll teach you a real lesson." He finished as Nina began to scream. Euphie was about to go and help them but her guard stopped her from helping.
"I said get up now!" the soldier yelled as he grabbed Nina and brought her up from the floor. Because of this action Nina began to scream. Euphie broke out from her guards grip on her and was about to stand up to stop this but she was beaten to the punch… literally
As soon as the soldier grabbed Nina, May jumped up from her spot and grabbed the soldiers arm
"Hands off!" May yelled as she punched the soldier in the face with her free arm. She then moved Nina out of the way as she gave a swift kick to the guard next to her. The other guards were about to shoot May in the back. But Lacus came up and gave a swift kick to all three of them knocking the lot all out in one attack.
May looked at Lacus in shock "Since when could you fight?" she asked in shock
"Just because I don't like to fight doesn't mean I don't know how to defend myself." Lacus said as everyone looked at the two in shock. The two of them took out all the soldiers in less than five minutes.
May looked down at the shocked Nina who was in her arms she then smiled at the shock girl "Are you ok?" she asked
"Y-yeah…"Nina said "t-thanks…"
"W-who are you two?" Milly asked in shock
May and Lacus smiled as May took off her wig to show her black to the group of hostages "We're Terminal," May said shocking everyone there "our job is to make sure everyone of you is safe." she said as she looked at Euphie who was looking at them in shock "and it seems like you remember us Princess Euphemia li Britannia." She finished as everyone looked at the shocked Princess.
Euphie took off her glasses that she was wearing and looked at the two in shock "I remember you to," she said "you were two of the people who led that funeral service in Shinjuku."
May nodded her head "that's right," she said "I'm May Ryosukei and this is my friend Lacus Clyne."
Nina's eyes widened in shock as she started at May "Y-you're an eleven?" she asked
"I guess I am…" May said
"B-but why would you help me," Nina said "I'm a Britannian."
"So," May said "Terminal helps those who are in need no matter who they are." She finished shocking Nina "Right now we need to tie up these hostages," she finished as she and Lacus began to look for rope to tie up the downed soldiers.
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, back in the utility tunnel, the two people inside the Raiko were just waiting for when another Knightmare frame would attack them.
"They haven't sent any Knightmare frames down here in a while," the first pilot said "Maybe they quit."
The second guy smirked "Yeah," he said "I bet they did."
The first guy began to laugh "Ha I bet…" was all he was able to say before a yellow beam his him and his co-pilot destroying them both. Neither one of them saw who killed them as the Blitz walked through the smoke of the destroyed Raiko.
"This is Commander Chase," Chase said through the com "destruction of Raiko completed waiting for next step in the mission." He finished as he waited for his next part of the mission.
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, Lelouch, Ryu, Shinn, and Jay were meeting with Kusakabe.
"So you don't plan on joining our group?" Zero asked
"Remove those masks and reveal your real faces to us." Kusakabe said "It's disrespectful not to."
"Very well," Zero said "but before we do, I like to ask you a question. What exactly do you hope to accomplish by this action?"
"Gain attention,"Kusakabe said "I want this country and the world to know that the Japanese aren't dead yet."
"You're kidding me," Jay said "That is the reason you are doing this? To gain attention… that's just stupid."
"What was that?" Kusakabe demanded
"Your ideas are obsolete," Zero said "that is what he means and because of this there is no way of saving you."
"What why you arrogant…" one soldier said but Kusakabe interrupted him
"Explain what you mean by that Zero?" Kusakabe asked
"What I mean is that you are only thinking about the past that Japan was," Zero explained "you can't think about anything other than the past which means that the future we plan to create is no place for people like you."
Kusakabe then gritted his teeth and drew his sword "If that's the case then there's no point in continuing any longer!" He yelled as he charged Zero but before he could even get up towards him, Jay grabbed the Katana with his bare hand while Shinn and Ryu took care of the two guards in the room.
Jay then produced some hand cuffs and a gag and cuffed Kusakabe as well as gagged him while Ryu and Shinn did the same thing with the other guards.
"Well don't worry Kusakabe,"Zero said "will get with you in a few minutes." He finished as he radioed his team "Everyone check in is everything secured?"
"Explosives are set kid…"Tamaki said
"All remaining Japan Liberation Front members have been apprehended." Kallen said
"Excellent!" Zero said "all we have to do now is wait for the other squads to secure the hostages."
Scene Break:
Back with the hostages, May and Lacus were busy tying up the soldiers when men dressed in green and black armor entered the room. Everyone was scared at the men in armor, but May was able to calm them down.
"Relax everyone, they won't hurt you," Lacus explained as she looked at the leader of the group "Sergeant report…"
The leading armored man saluted Lacus "Yes ma'am!" he said "we have captured all the Japan Liberation Front members and have them in custody. Now all we have to do is get the hostages ready to be returned. The Generals would like to talk to you; I have been given the task of taking you there. Also the other Generals would like to talk to Princes Euphemia… that is if she will allow it." As the two of them turned to Euphie
Euphie nodded her head "Very well," she said as she walked towards Lacus "I'll go and meet with your generals."
"You take her then Lacus," May said "I'll help with the hostages… you just escort her to the others."
Lacus nodded her head "Very well," she finished as she looked at the soldier "Sergeant please take us to the Generals."
The Sergeant nodded his head "Yes mam," he finished as he escorted the two out of the room while May prepped the hostages to be released.
Scene Break:
When Lacus and Euphie entered the room where Ryu and the others were waiting for them, they saw the four of them lounging on a two sofas, Jay was sitting next to Zero while Shinn was sitting next to Ryu who was on the sofa across from them, while in a corner of the room was where the Japan Liberation Front Soldiers sat with cuffs around their arms and their mouths gagged.
Zero turned "Ah Princess Euphemia we meet at last…"he said as the other turned their attention towards the two entering the room.
Euphie studied the men in the room "So you are the leaders of Terminal then?" she asked "may I ask as to who you are and why you are wearing masks?"
"Sure why not,"Zero said "I am known as Zero." He finished as he pointed to Ryu "he is known as Ryu, the guy next to him is Shinn and the guy next to me is Jay. And as to why I wear a mask I use it to hide my identity so that my enemies can't use it against me."
"We're just wearing it because it's cool…."Ryu said as Shinn and Jay nodded their heads.
Euphie nodded her head "May I ask as to why you are fighting against Britannia?" She asked
"It's quite simple," Zero said "Britannia is a corrupt nation that preys on those who are weaker than them. And it's because Britannia is like that people like the Japan Liberation Front over their turn their anger towards the innocent instead of those who are responsible for the pain and suffering they have endured. You see Princess, we of Terminal plan on changing this world to one in which those who are weak aren't oppressed by the strong. You have seen what we of Terminal have done have you not?"
Euphie remembered how the Terminal group had helped those at Shinjuku and even gave them a funeral service to honor them "I see," she said "but by doing that won't you be hurting people through this change?"
"It's true," Jay said "changes like this do cause pain but if a true world of peace is to be achieved these changes must occur."
Euphie sighed "I guess that maybe true," she said "but would this actually change the world to a peaceful place, would it make people happy when this world is created?"
Ryu underneath his mask smiled at this "Very good questions Princess, here!" he said as he threw something at Euphie, when Euphie looked at the device, it was a gold star "That is a communications device, in order to understand our point of view; you would have to see it. In about a week or so we plan on having a concert for our people. You can join us if you want. Now I believe it is time to return you and the hostages back to your sister." He finished as he turned to Lacus "Lacus could you take her down?"
"Yes I can," Lacus said as she looked at Euphie "please follow me Princess Euphemia."
Euphie smiled at Lacus "ok," she said "but please call me Euphie Miss…."
"Lacus," Lacus said "just call me Lacus Euphie." She finished as she took Euphie back down towards the hostages.
After they left, Ryu contacted Chase "Commander, do you read me?" he asked
"Loud and clear General," Chase said "do you want me to destroy the foundation now?"
"Not yet,"Ryu said "we have one more thing we have to do first." He finished as he looked at the tied up Kusakabe.
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, Cornelia was waiting for Terminal to rescue the hostages.
"What is taking them so long?" Cornelia complained as she waited for Terminal to rescue the hostages. Just then Guilford came running in.
"Viceroy," Guilford said "a transmission is being broadcast to all of Area 11 from the hotel. It's Terminal."
"What," Cornelia asked "why would they be broadcasting something all over Area 11… show me." She finished as Guilford lead Cornelia towards a room with a TV on it. Although most of their equipment was down because of the EMP bomb, they were able to get the TV up and running again. On the TV was a picture of Jay standing in front of a tied up Kusakabe.
"What the hell could they be planning?" Cornelia wondered as she looked at the screen.
Scene Break:
Back on the roof top, Jay was looking at a tied up Kusakabe while Ryu was filming the scene; next to him were Zero and Shinn.
"Lt. Colonel Kusakabe of the Japan Liberation Front," Jay said "you gave up your honor as a Japanese soldier just so you could gain some attention."
"A punk like you wouldn't understand anything!" Kusakabe yelled
"Your wrong Kusakabe,"Jay said "I understand more than you know."He said as he snapped his fingers and the cuffs on Kusakabe's arms unlocked and fell down from his arms Jay then threw Kusakabe's Katana at Kusakabe. "Now Kusakabe you have two choices, will you either commit suicide or will you fight against me in a one on one honorable duel to the death? The choice is yours."
Kusakabe then drew his Katana and pointed it towards Jay "I chose honorable duel to the death!" he said "but it is unfair that you get to wear armor and I do not."
Jay nodded his head "Very well then I'll deactivate my armor," he said as he pressed a button on his wrist and the armor he was wearing disappeared leaving Jay in his usual clothing with a sheathed sword in his left hand "now I am ready for this dual."
"A kid," Kusakabe said "a kid like you is a leader of Terminal. What a joke."
"What's the matter scared to get beaten by a kid like me?" Jay taunted
Kusakabe gritted his teeth as he got into a fighting stance. "I am going to beat that smug off your face boy!" he yelled
"Good luck on that," Jay said as he drew his sword got into his own stance.
Both of them stayed where they were for a few seconds. Then both of them charged each other. As they both reached each other, they passed one another like Jay did when he was fighting against Suzaku. After a few seconds, Kusakabe dropped to the floor dead.
"You underestimated me Kusakabe," Jay said as he began to sheath his sword "you judged me on how old I was and because of that you underestimated my skills." He finished as he put his armor back on and Ryu ended the transmission. Ryu then proceeded to contact Lacus and May.
"You two ready down there?"Ryu asked
"Yep!" the two girls said as Ryu ended the transmission with them. He then contacted Commander Chase. "Commander," he said "you may begin."
"Yes sir!" Chase said as he ended the transmission as the Blitz appeared out of nowhere and shot the base of the hotel making it collapse into the water.
Ryu then turned towards Zero "You got the detonator ready?" He asked
Zero nodded his head as he pressed the detonator as multiple explosions appeared all over the hotel, covering the entire scene in smoke.
Scene Break:
"Euphie!" Cornelia cried as she saw the entire hotel begin to collapse as the smoke began to be covered in smoke. Meanwhile near the R&D truck, Suzaku began to slam his hand into the console of the Lancelot blaming himself for not helping his friends. Just then, a boat appeared out of the smoke as well as armored men with energy wings of different colors flying through the smoke; each carrying a hostage. Leading the group were a pink and white version of Kallen's armor. The pink one was carrying Euphie while the white one was carrying Nina. Each of them landed a few feet away from Cornelia and her forces. As soon as they dropped off the hostages, the armored warriors began to lift off and fly through the skies and disappear. After that, Zero appeared on all the screens all over Area 11.
"My dear Britannians." Zero stated over the camera as images of the hostages standing on the bank of the river appeared "have no fear, all of the hostages have been rescued and they are safely and sound. We of Terminal have returned them to you unharmed"
"Of all the brazen audacity." Cornelia said as she looked at the scene "they brought the hostages so close to us, but we can't get to them because of what they did to our Knightmare Frames and other equipment now they will get away scot free." She finished as lights appeared on the boat as they illuminated Ryu, Jay, Shinn, and all of Lelouch's squad.
"People fear us or rally behind us as you see fit!" Zero said "We are Terminal! We of the Terminal stand with all those who have no weapons to wield regardless of whether they be Japanese or Britannians! The Japan Liberation Front cowardly took innocent Britannian civilians hostage and then mercilessly executed them! It was wonton and meaningless act. We could not stand by and allow such cruelty to be carried out and their fore they have been punished just like how our forces defeated the Britannian military when they tried to destroy Shinjuku and Saitama! We will not repudiate battle on a fair and level field, but neither will we tolerate a one sided massacre of the week by the strong. The only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed! Where ever oppressors have used their power by attacking those who are powerless we shall appear again! No matter how mighty or how formidable our foe may be. Those of you with power fear us!" Zero said with a dramatic flip of the cape as he extended his arms for emphasis. "Those of you without it rally behind us! We of Terminal shall be the ones who stand in judgment of this world!" he finished as the ship they were on began to disappear through the smoke.
Scene Break:
Back on the Archangel, everyone one was celebrating on a mission well done. Tamaki was downing on beer while everyone else was talking or dancing. Meanwhile, Ryu, Jay, Shinn, Lelouch, May, Lacus, and Kallen were talking to each other.
"That was an interesting speech you gave Lelouch," Jay said "when did you come up with it?"
"I came up with it last night," Lelouch said "I figured that the hotel situation would be a perfect way to show the world who we are."
Shinn nodded his head "True," he said "although that is only half of the truth of who Terminal really is."
Ryu was about to say something when he got a call from Dearka "Hello," he said as he answered the call
"Ryu you and May need to get back here right away," Dearka said in a panic voice
"Why what's wrong?" Ryu asked
"It's Kira…" Dearka said
"What about Kira," Ryu said in concern "is something wrong with her?"
"She's…she's… she's going into labor!" Dearka yelled
"What!" Ryu yelled as everyone who was partying turned to Ryu to see why he was yelling.
"Ryu is everything ok?" May asked
Ryu turned towards May and smiled "Kira's going into labor." He said as he fainted from the revelation that his new child would be born today.
