That went well." Lelouch commented as he gave 'Zero' an applause for his acting performance. "You did well, amazingly well." Lelouch complimented as the 'Zero' in front of him removed his mask, revealing…Lelouch.
"You as well, Cera," Lelouch noted as the 'Lelouch' in front of him removed a digital mask and wig, letting her long green hair flow with the wind. "And by the way, I owe you a pizza."
"Of course you do." C.C. replied with a small smile. "So how many will turn up this time around?" C.C. wondered as they entered a park car behind an alley.
"I really don't care, I only need Kallen and Ohgi but if even one more comes, then I will gladly welcome the change." Lelouch told her with a small smile. "You think Kallen would like my little gift?"
"Of course, anything is better that the old Knightmare Frame that she's currently piloting." C.C. assured him as the two drove off.
(Scene Change- A day later)
Zero tried to hold a chuckle as he gazed at two familiar figures, just as predicted. "I see, just you two then."
"I'm sorry," Ohgi apologized with an embarrass tone. "We just need a little more time. If more people understood what we…" Zero instantly interrupted them.
"No, you two will do just fine," Zero stated confidently, startling the two of them at that proclamation.
"Come on, that's ridiculous, there'll be too many of them." Kallen reasoned but laughter instantly echoed in the junk yard, instantly catching the attention of the two rebels.
"That's why he said that he will show you a miracle and overcoming the odds will do just that." Lelouch said as he appeared from behind. "Plus, we have an ace up our sleeves." Lelouch told them as he eyed Zero, waiting for his confirmation.
Zero gave a curt nod as he shifted his to Kallen. "Q1, go with Lelouch, he has a gift for you. Ohgi, come with me, I shall tell you my plan." Zero ordered as he motioned for Ohgi to come with him.
Ohgi and Kallen looked at each for a moment before following their orders. Kallen instantly followed Lelouch as he led her to an empty building. "Sorry for dragging you into these mess but I assure you, you guys aren't making a mistake for trusting us." Lelouch assured her while trying to start a conversation.
Kallen merely scoffed at those words. "You're boss is crazy but if he could pull this off, then you'll make a believer out of me." Kallen said with a rather furious tone.
"Of course, I'll look forward to that." Lelouch said before stopping at the door. "Kallen, the plan to save Kururugi will depend heavily on you and how good your shot is." Lelouch explained as he turned around and gazed directly at Kallen's eyes. "Tell me Kallen and answer me honestly, if I can provide you with a Knightmare frame with the same technology and capabilities as those of Britannia, how fast could you learn to pilot a Knightmare?" Lelouch asked as he opened the door and motion for her to enter.
Kallen was a bit confused at that question but regardless, entered the building cautiously. What she saw almost made her eyes popped out of her eyes. It was a Knightmare Frame exclusive for Britannia, Gloucester, a red colored Gloucester to be exact.
"Fifth Generation Knightmare Frame, the Gloucester is nothing more than a remodelled Sutherland but its performance is slightly higher. The features of this Knightmare are as follows, Cockpit Ejection System, Factsphere Sensor, and Landspinner Propulsion System. Its armaments, 1x Drill Jousting Lance, 2x Chest-mounted Slash Harkens, 1x Assault Rifle, 1x 14.5x114mm Anti-Knightmare Sniper Rifle, and my personal favorite, 1x Buzz Saw Shield." Lelouch explained as he glanced at the Gloucester that he and C.C. modified for three days straight before handing a manual to Kallen as well as its activation key. "This beauty is now yours and I suggest you learn how to pilot it quick before our operation."
Kallen eyes widen in shock as she pointed at the red Gloucester. "You mean to tell me that this thing is mine now, no strings attached?" Kallen asked in disbelief.
Lelouch smile at her before nodding. "Of course, like what I told Zero, I can't pilot this thing because I am more of a long range fighter and if you could out maneuver a bunch of Sutherlands with an outdated frame, then I bet you could wiped the floor with them with a Knightmare Frame that is slightly superior." Lelouch said with confidence. "Plus, I didn't waste my time and risked my life stealing a Gloucester from Britannian Mafia and I didn't spend most of three days modifying it just for it to be wasted."
"Wait, you stole this Knightmare form the Britannian Mafia?" Kallen asked, surprised at the revelation. Who would have thought that the fragile looking vice-president could be so daring?
Lelouch chuckled at that reaction as an arrogant smirked crawled on his face. "Hey, for now, I'm your benefactor, if I can't provide our best pilot with a simple fifth generation Knightmare frame, then the words that I told you in the train will all be crap." Lelouch commented as he led Kallen towards the Gloucester. "I suggest you learn how to pilot it quick, we'll need you and you're amazing piloting skills for the operation."
(Scene Change)
Countless Britannians were watching on the sideline as the transport of Suzaku Kururugi to the military tribunal for the alleged murder of prince Clovis la Britannia slowly move along the main highway. Everywhere across Area 11, people were watching the events unfold with mixed emotions. To some of the citizens of Area 11 Kururugi was a hero, the one who 'stuck it up' the Britannians by killing one of the royals, while to others he was still a traitor to his own people. Most of the Britannian populace though, shared a similar opinion; a man who betrayed his oath to Britannia, a Number who dared raise his hand against the might of the glorious Britannian Empire, and as such, he had to die.
The armored transport was flanked by four Sutherlands; the leading Sutherland was piloted by Margrave Jeremiah Gottwald and the rear was guarded by Villeta Nu, both their Knighmares were on autopilot as they watched the ordeal unfold right before their eyes.
"Camera five is a little slow, talk to me Charles. Your team been deploy yet?" Diethard Ried asked with a bored tone. "What, the studio, let them wait. Nothing's been push back, everything is according to plan."
"Here we go," Diethard announced as he heard from his colleague speak, beginning the news coverage. "Like clockwork," Diethhard frown as he turned off his headset. "What a circus, and I'm as corrupt as any of them."
From her vantage point, Kallen watched the proceeding while preparing the targeting system of her Gloucester. Truth be told, she was impress with her new Knightmare, especially with the modification and alteration. And the targeting system of her machine was quite advance, like Lelouch purposely modified the machine to take out enemy from a far.
"Q1, are you in position?" Lelouch asked as he called her through a private line.
"I am in position and ready when you are." Kallen answered rather nervously. "If I may say, I like what you did with the Gloucester." Kallen complimented with a small smile.
"Thank you, remember, you'll cover our escape, me and Zero will begin the operation in T-minus three minutes, prepare yourself." Lelouch told her as he cut off the communication. "C.C., sorry for making you dressed like me again."
"Don't worry boy, I'm used to it." C.C. noted as she drove the makeshift car.
"Well, here we go again," Lelouch mumbled as the car approached the convoy with a steady pace.
(Scene Change)
"[Acting council Jeremiah, an unidentified vehicle is approaching main highway from third.]" One of Jeremiah's soldiers reported. "[We just let it through like you ordered but…]" The soldier trailed off, not sure what to say.
"Do you believe the target is a terrorist vehicle?" Jeremiah asked regally.
"[Well sir, its Prince Clovis's personal transport.]" The soldier replied.
"The Prince's car," Jeremiah mumbled, startled at that revelation before smirking. "Well, looks like we got a comedian. Don't worry about it; just let them through to us. ALL FORCES HALT HERE," Jeremiah ordered causing the convoy to stop.
Suzaku's looked at his guard, wondering why they suddenly stop the convoy.
The people watching the proceedings were quite surprise at the sudden stop but their surprise turned into shock as they witness the late prince's personal car approaching the convoy.
Jeremiah smirked at this poorly attempted rescue, what do these elevens take him for. The car stopped a couple of yards away from the convoy.
"You dare desecrate his highnesses transport, get out of there." Jeremiah sneered at the car. To the surprise of everyone watching across the country and those present, the flag of Britannia suddenly caught a blaze, quickly burning signifying their fierce defiance of their oppressor. The flag was quickly reduced to ash, revealing a mask figure, standing proudly with an air of confidence and overwhelming charisma around him. The crowd instantly gasped at the sight of him.
"I am Zero." Zero introduced himself and that instantly ignited the reaction that he had expected, the same reaction that the people have when he did this the first time around.
"Zero?" Villetta Nu said in confusion while those who were watching wondered who the man behind the mask was. At that moment, the world was once again focus on him.
"Zero, you mean like nothing." Diethard commented silently.
'Is he an Eleven?' Suzaku wondered as he stared at the mask man questioningly.
'The curtain has risen; it's time for the first Act of Zero.'Lelouch thought as a confident thought graced his lips.
"I've seen enough, Zero. This little show of yours is over" Jeremiah stated smugly, firing one shot in the air. Instantly, four Sutherlands fell to the ground, surrounding the car. "But first things first, why don't you lose that mask."
Zero gloved hand instantly grabbed the front of his mask before raising it in the air. With a snapped of his finger, the fake transport fell apart, revealing a weird looking container.
"What in the…" Jeremiah mumbled in fear as he gazed at the familiar looking container with a grim expression.
"Lord Jeremiah," Villetta called as she exist her Sutherland. "Be careful, he has the….."
'Jeremiah, don't disappoint me.' Lelouch thought as his smirked evolved into a predator like grin.
Suzaku tried to warn them but the devised wrapped around his neck prevented him from speaking as an electric shock silent him.
"You bastard," Jeremiah muttered in a shaky voice. "He's taken every Britannian present hostage and he had done it, without them even knowing it." Jeremiah instantly pointed his handgun at the mask figure.
"You intend to shoot, knowing full well what this device is capable off." Zero said with a taunting tone as he challenged Jeremiah to shoot, knowing that he won't.
"Unit six, bring up the sound and get that camera at his face." Diethard ordered with an excited tone, finally, something worthwhile.
"Sir, it's too airy out here."
"Tch, amateurs," Diethard mumbled as he grabbed a camera and dash towards the scene.
"Fine, what are your demands?" Jeremiah asked, conceding.
"This…" Pointing at the device…"…for Kururugi," Zero answered bluntly.
"Like hell," Jeremiah then eyed Kururugi nervously who was bound to the ground by shackles. "He is charge for high treason for murdering a prince, I can't hand him over." Jeremiah stated, gritting his teeth. What the hell is this man planning?
"No, you're mistaken Jeremiah. He is no murderer; he is too honorable for that." Diethard arrived after those words were uttered and instantly pointed the camera at Zero's face. "The one, who killed Clovis, was I."Zero announced proudly. That announcement caused several outcries from the people around him, almost causing a riot as the public realized that they were looking at the murderer of the royal prince. All across the country, the same reaction could be said only to a lighter degree.
"For a single Eleven, you'll save scores of precious Britannians." The last part was a spat for added dramatic effect. "I find that to be bargain."
Diethard smirked excitedly at that. 'This is all a show for him, one big performance.'
"His mad, I'll tell." Jeremiah shouted in outraged. "Disguising his truck as his highnesses, he'll pay the price for mocking the crown." And instantly the rifles of the Sutherlands were pointed at him, ready to fire.
"Interesting move, Lord Jeremiah," Zero complimented with a mocking tone as he once again raised his hand. "Now this is my answer," Zero once again snapped his fingers.
"That's the signal," Kallen mumbled from her vantage point as she pulled the trigger of the sniper of her Gloucester. One of the Sutherland instantly went down as a bullet penetrated its rifle right through the torso, forcing the pilot to eject. Kallen pulled the trigger three more times, causing the other Sutherlands to collapsed as they were cut in half by the large .57 caliber bullet as well as forcing the pilots to eject.
Kallen chuckled merrily as she took aim to the four remaining Sutherland. "Note to self, thank Lelouch later."
Jeremiah's eyes widen as the three Sutherlands behind him pointed their rifles at the mask terrorist as he approached the convoy. The crowd gasped in fright and began to slightly panic as four Sutherlands were taken out so easily by an unknown assailant. "Lord Jeremiah, I do suggest that you control your men. As you may see, I have an excellent sniper lurking around. Threaten me, and you and your precious comrades will meet a swift end." Zero stated causing Jeremiah to growl as he pointed his handgun towards Zero. "Careful, you don't wish for the public to learn about orange, do you?" Jeremiah's anger instantly turn into surprise at hearing that, orange, what in the hell is that?
"Orange, what is he talking about?"
"I don't know."
Those who were at earshot began mumbling to themselves, wondering what orange is.
"If I die, it'll all go public." Zero warned as the car stopped a couple of feet away from Jeremiah. "If you don't want that to happen, then you'll do everything in your power to let us go, your prisoner as well." The mask that he was wearing suddenly slid down, revealing is right eye, the Geass on his right eye shinning vibrantly.
Jeremiah didn't know why but when he stared at Zero's right eye, foreign memories suddenly flooded his mind; his body trembling wildly as the memories almost made him faint at the familiarity of them. Those memories overcame him as they intertwined with his current memories. His eyes turn into dazed before they widen in surprise.
"My lord," Jeremiah whispered to himself as he glanced at his surroundings, finding it a tad bit familiar.
"Lord Jeremiah," Jeremiah instantly snapped his neck at Zero's direction as his lord gave him a distinct look. "What is your decision? Do you intent to betray your lord?" Zero asked him cryptically.
Jeremiah held back a chuckle as he shook his head in fake defiance. "Of course not," Jeremiah answered as he gazed at the prisoner. "You there, release the prisoner." Jeremiah ordered firmly. That instantly caused the crowd to whisper in shock among themselves at that order.
"What on earth are you doing, my Lord?" Villetta questioned in surprise at the sudden order.
"Get that man over here." Jeremiah ordered once again as he glared sharply at the men stationed besides him. When they showed hesitation, he hardened his voice as he spoke once again. "Hand him over, nobody gets in his way." Jeremiah repeated himself as one of the Sutherlands approached him, the pilot of the said Sutherland existed the machine.
"No, what are you thinking, you can't do this." The pilot shouted in outraged.
"Lord Kewel, stand down. This is an order." Jeremiah yelled in annoyance.
The guards, still a bit hesitant, followed orders and release Suzaku from his shackles. They then let him off the transport. He was greeted by Zero and his driver, who was awfully familiar. The two of them were walking towards him side by side in a slow pace, so much of a dramatic fashion.
He tried to ask who they were only to be subjected by a mild electric shock, stunning him a bit. "Typical Britannians," Zero muttered under his breath as he touched the collar around the Honorary Britannians neck. "They didn't even let you speak."
"Zero, its time." C.C., disguise as Lelouch whom was dress in a chauffeur's uniform to hide her accomplice's features, informed him.
"Well then, it's been fun." Zero said as he presses the detonator, unleashing colored glass that was quickly covering the highway. "Till next time." Using the chaos of the crowd and the smoke as to hide their movements, Zero and C.C. jumped off the bridge, confident of having Ohgi already deploying the safety net.
"It work, it actually work." Ohgi mumbled out loud as he prepared the safety net, just in time for the three to safely land on the train that Lelouch prepared for their escape.
"Well, it's time to finish them off." Kallen commented as she watched the crowd panic as the 'poison gas covered the area. Her Gloucester was moving towards the rendezvous point, the sniper rifle was mounted on the Gloucester shoulder as she let loose several bullets that were able to destroy the Sutherland nearest to Zero and Lelouch as well as damaging the leg of the Sutherlands piloted by Jeremiah and Villetta. Her eyes narrowed as she witness a single Sutherland that miraculously survive her onslaught of bullets gunning down Ohgi and his makeshift Knightmare. Fortunately thought, he was able to eject in time but Kallen will not let that pass.
She instantly grabbed the Gloucester's Drill-Jousting Lance, activating it. The modified lance spun rapidly as Kallen accelerated towards the Sutherland that threatened her friend.
"You eleven scum, there is no way for you to run." Kewel shouted before his radar picked up a fast moving object approaching him. He glanced at his screen to see a red Gloucester approaching his location, and by the looks of it, the Gloucester was non-friendly. "A Gloucester, how in the hell could this Eleven have a Gloucester." Kewel wondered as he let loose a barraged of bullets towards the upcoming Knightmare only for it to be block by its shield.
"Take this, you Britannian dog." Kallen shouted as she shoved the spiraling lance to the torso of the Sutherland, lance instantly piercing the Knightmare, creating a giant hole into the mid-section of the Sutherland. Kallen then pointed the Gloucester's rifle on the head of the Sutherland before firing several rounds, instantly causing the pilot to eject as the Sutherland exploded. Luckily though, Kallen had already thrown the remains of the Sutherland away from her Gloucester, thus saving herself from the explosion.
"Q1, let's go before reinforcements arrived." Lelouch called as he opened the train, signaling for Kallen to get in.
"Yeah, I'm coming," Kallen exclaimed as she and her Gloucester entered the train before they depart back to their base.
All in all, mission accomplished.
(Scene Change)
"That was crazy," Tamaki shouted as he pointed at both Ohgi and Kallen. Their rebel group met in an abandoned building that had once been a theater. "How many times can a bluff like that work anyway?"
"But you got to give those guys some credit though." Ohgi muttered with a small, triumphant smile. "That Lelouch fellow was able to give Kallen a Knightmare that helped us escape with our lives, and that Zero, my God, what he did was nothing short of a miracle." Ohgi exclaimed, still in shock about the success of the operation.
"I'm with Ohgi with this one." Kallen said with a small smile. "I don't know how Lelouch did it, but he modified that Gloucester so well that it felt like it was design exclusively for my use. And then Zero, I thought he was crazy when he told us his plan but god, it worked, it actually worked."
"You got to admit," Ohgi started as he looked at Naoto's, his rebel group. "You got to admit, nobody else could have pulled that of, not the Japanese Liberation Front and certainly not me." Ohgi stated and for the first time in a long time, a hope filled smiled graced his lips.
"We always thought that a full on war with Britannia wasn't a possibility at all." The rebels frowned at that as they eyed their leader carefully. "But maybe with those two, it is." Ohgi finished as Kallen's eyes drifted to the two men that made the impossible mission possible.
(With Zero and Lelouch)
"I see they treated you rather roughly." Zero observed as he stood a couple of feet away from Suzaku, and was perched in a higher ground. "Now you know what they are really like, private Kururugi. Britannia is rotten to the core, what they stand for, what they believe in is rotten and counterproductive to our current world, the current Britannia is a threat to our current world and you had laid witness to that." Zero then extended his arms towards Suzaku. "If you wish to change Britannia, to change the world, then join me."
Suzaku looked at the mask vigilante that had saved his life just moments ago, his eyes filled with disapproval. "So is it true, are you really the one who killed prince Clovis?" Suzaku asked passively.
"This is war, why wouldn't I kill an enemy commander." Zero answered bluntly.
"And what about that sniper of yours," Suzaku was interrupted with a chuckle from the mask man.
"She is too skill to miss her target." Zero retorted with a voice filled with confident. "With a proper Knightmare Frame, she could annihilate the Knights of Rounds that I assure you."
"And the gas, those were civilians out their!" Suzaku inquired, this time, his voice was a bit outraged.
"A bluff, no more, no less. That was a way to help things along." Zero explained coldly. "The result, not a single death, not a single casualty."
"The result," Suzaku smiled sadly. "That's all that matters to you, I supposed."
"The end sometimes justifies the means." Zero stated as his hands lay motionless in the air. "Come join me, the Britannia you serve is worthless dominion."
"Maybe that's true," Suzaku mumbled loud enough for Zero to hear. "But this nation can be changed for the better and from within, and any ends gained through contemptible means aren't worth anything." With that said he turned his back on the mask revolutionary and waltz to the nearest exit.
"You are a fool, Private Kururugi. You will not change Britannia. Britannia will not change for you, Britannia will change you, for the better or for the worst, I shudder to think." Zero told him as he turned his back as well. "I overestimated you, Suzaku Kururugi. I have no use for a foolish boy like you but my doors will always be open if you come to your senses, and I hope that we do not meet in the battlefield, for once you force my hand, I will not show you an ounce of mercy." Zero warned him as the two walked away in separate direction.
"What do you do when there is an evil you cannot defeat by just means? Do you stain your hands with evil to destroy evil, or do you remain steadfastly just and righteous even if it means surrendering to evil?" Those words actually stopped Suzaku from his tracks. "One day, you will find an answer to that question." Zero said as he disappears from Suzaku's sight.
"Bravo," Lelouch said with a fond smile as he watched Zero walk towards him. "You outdid yourself Cera; you truly outdid yourself with this performance. That was even better than what I had planned." Lelouch complimented as C.C. turned off the voice modulator.
"What do you expect?" C.C. asked him as she stopped mere inches in front of Lelouch. "I am C.C., I am Zero." C.C. exclaimed as her clove hand gently caresses Lelouch's hair.
"The two of us, we are Zero." Lelouch corrected her as a gentle smile graced his lips. "Thank you C.C..."
"You're welcome," C.C. replied calmly. "Although, if I may, are you just going to let him walk off, just like that. He was the bane of your existence and I assure you, he will still be the bane of your existence the second time around." C.C. stated knowingly.
"I already know that and it is so easy for me to turn him to our side but alas, I owe him." Lelouch said as he remembered the conversation he had with Suzaku in the past (in the future, his past future). "I killed the woman he loved; the hate that he had for Zero, the hate that he had developed for me is justifiable. If he killed Nunnally, if he killed Kallen, if he harmed you, I will not stop destroying him even if his dead" Lelouch commented before letting out a soft chuckle.
"I'll entrust my half-sister in Suzaku's hands the second time around and if Euphemia falls in love with him again, then I will do everything in my power for those two to live this time around." Lelouch swore as the two walk towards the rebels. "Still, Cornelia would give Suzaku hell if she discovers her precious sister's feelings for a number, and that is revenge enough for me." Lelouch added with a soft laughed.
(Scene Change)
"Lelouch my boy, what can I do for you today." Ruben K. Ashford, the headmaster and founder of Ashford Academy asked with a kind smile as he glanced at Marianne's eldest child.
"Good day sir," Lelouch greeted as his left eyed shine bright crimson. Lelouch pull a small USB from inside of his pocket and handed it to the headmaster. "Within this USB, you will transfer the past research of the Ashford Foundation and will hand it to me tomorrow morning, 5:00 AM. You will also provide me a secret factory that belongs to the Ashford Foundation but is no longer of use to you and your family. Do the task as discrete as possible and make sure that your granddaughter or any of your family will not be aware of this transaction." Lelouch ordered as the power of his Geass command instantly took control of his mind.
"Of course my lord," Ruben mumbled with a dazed look as he took the USB from Lelouch's hand. Several seconds later before the order's effect receded for the time being, and the red rings faded from the headmaster's eyes. "My boy, what do you want from me again?" The Headmaster inquired with a clueless expression as Lelouch took a folder from his pocket.
"Just a small favor sir," Lelouch answered as he handed the folder towards the Ashford Head. "A friend of mine wanted to enroll in Ashford Academy, but she has other business to attend to so she asked me to submit her transcript." Lelouch informed him as Ruben opened the folder and began reading the credentials of the enrollee.
"She's pretty, is she your girlfriend?" Ruben asked with a smirked that matches her granddaughter's.
"Well," Lelouch stopped trying to find the right words. "Let's just say that we have an interesting relationship and let's leave it at that. So, can you arrange an entrance exam for her or even better, could you just directly enroll her?"
Ruben chuckled as he close the folder. "I'll arrange an exam for her. Tell your friend to be here at 1:00 o'clock in the afternoon." Ruben instructed.
"Of course sir," Lelouch replied before bowing respectfully at the headmaster. "Thank you for your time." Lelouch then exited the room and was met by C.C., who was wearing an Ashford Academy uniform, her hair was tied in a style that he cannot fathom but it still looks good on her.
"You really took this to a whole new level." C.C. commented as she leaned on him, her lips mere inches from his. "Using your Geass to the man that provided for you and your sister, how low can you get?" C.C. inquired playfully, her signature smile visible on her face.
Lelouch chuckled lightly, not even fazed at the distance between him and C.C., he was used to her invading his personal space. "Technically, the technology that the Ashford Academy developed hasn't been used since the family's fall from grace and thus, it is obsolete. But, we could still use their research and technology to hasten the Black Knights' Knightmare Development and it will also help our Knightmare Manufacturing." Lelouch explained as C.C. slowly back away from him.
"Fighting your opponent's superior number with superior technology and with your superior intellect, your victory might be quicker this time around." And with that said, C.C. disappeared from his sight.
Lelouch shook his head as he moved as well; he needed to contact Orange and to find Kallen. He has an operation in mind.
(Scene Change)
Kallen was currently observing Lelouch Lamperouge, the man who had given her the Gloucester that dismantled the Sutherlands of the purist faction and, if her guest is accurate, Zero's right hand mind. She was confused, to say the least.
Around the student council, which she is now a member for some unknown reason, he was the Vice President and the personal slave of the hyperactive President, together with his other friend, Rivalz. Around the student body, he was this enigmatic, Ice King whom was the dream boy of most of the female students in campus.
If he was around his sister, he was the perfect big brother, second only to her late elder brother.
But, just three days ago, he took part in one of the biggest rescue mission that slapped Britannia right on the face and he did it with a confident and coy smirked on his face (It was C.C. dress as Lelouch after all).
"What a strange man." Kallen mumbled to herself as she escape from her so called friends. 'Like I can consider those Britannians' as my friends'Kallen thought darkly as she desperately searched for a place where she could eat without any Britannians spotting her.
"How's our ace doing?" A voiced called for her attention as she shifted her gazed at the source of the voice. "Busy avoiding those Britannian girls that seems to swarm around you or are you just sick and tired acting like a helpless kitten?" Lelouch asked her with a taunting smirk, the same smirk that he used whenever they quarreled in the past.
Kallen suddenly had urged to smack that smirked off his face but quickly reminded herself that he was an ally, for now anyways. "Aren't you supposed to be basking on the glory of being the most desired man in the school or are you hiding from the President's ever observing eye?" Kallen retorted back as Lelouch slowly walked towards her, the smirked adorning his face faltering a bit.
"Actually, I'm hiding from the eyes of my adoring public." Lelouch answered her as he leaned towards her, his lips inches away from hers. "You know, I prefer the Kallen Kozuki from three days ago than the Kallen Stadtfeld standing in front of me. Although to be honest with you, I find Kallen Stadtfeld prettier than Kallen Kozuki." Lelouch commented as he took great delight at the sight of Kallen's blush that was currently decorating her face.
"Thank whatever God you're worshipping that you gave me that Gloucester." Kallen muttered as she regained her composure and glared at Lelouch.
"Of course, why do you think I'm baiting you in the first place?" Lelouch said with a taunting tone as he stepped back to avoid being slugged by his ace.
"Are you here just to annoy me or do you have something important to say?" Kallen asked in an impatient tone.
Lelouch chuckle a bit as he motioned for her to follow him. "Have lunch with me and let's discuss what will need with the upcoming rebellion." Lelouch told her as he led her to a secure area.
"Wait a minute, what?" Kallen asked in shocked. She was not expecting that.
Lelouch suddenly looked at her with a serious expression. "I don't know the needs of your rebel group, and I am your current sponsor. How can I provide you guys' tools if I don't know what the needs of your group in the first place?" Lelouch said to her as he motioned for her to follow him.
Kallen nodded, understanding the knowledge behind his words, thought she has one question. "Why didn't you just tell me that in the first place?" Kallen asked as she walked towards Lelouch.
"We'll be working with each other for now on; I just want to get to know you better." Lelouch told her with a gentle smile causing Kallen to blush lightly.
Damn him and his extreme cuteness.
(Scene Change)
Ohgi and Tamaki were currently headed to Tokyo tower; a knife and a pistol were hidden in their person respectively. They got a call from Kallen late in the morning, telling them to meet her in Tokyo Tower at 1 PM, they didn't know why but she sounds pretty urgent.
"Do you have any idea why Kallen called us here?" Tamaki asked as they stopped right in front of the entrance of Tokyo Tower.
"No clue, but I bet that it involves this Zero character." Ohgi commented and instantly, Tamaki grunted loudly.
"Are you sure those two could be trusted?" Tamaki asked Naoto's replacement as he spared him a glanced. "I mean, I don't know about this Zero character but this Lelouch guy is a Britannian and I don't trust them." Tamaki exclaimed with a scowl plaster on his face.
Ohgi sighed deeply as he looked at his long time friend. "Look, I may not trust Britannians but that kid holds even less love for Britannia than us." Ohgi then took out a picture that he secretly received from Zero. "I mean look at this, this is what the Britannians did to his sister." Ohgi said as Tamaki glanced at the picture.
"She's an extremely cute kid for a Britannian." Tamaki admitted with a small blush on his cheeks. The girl on the picture just oozes cuteness and innocence that he found it hard to hate the little girl even if she's a Britannian.
"And look at her, the kid, even if she's a Britannian, she couldn't hurt a fly and look at her, she is bound in that wheelchair and she's blind." Ohgi mumbled as he pity the sister of their Britannian ally.
"As much as I hate Britannians, I'll admit, this Britannian kitten doesn't deserved that." Tamaki commented before shaking his head. "How did this happen again?"
"Well, if my memory serves me right, Lelouch said that their mother was gunned down by some Britannian, causing the death of his mother and his sister being crippled." Ohgi said, trying to search his memory from three days ago.
"Then my father exiled us to Japan." A voice said causing the two jumped in surprised. "I never thought my life is a hot topic." Lelouch commented as he and Kallen appeared behind them, both of them wearing their Ashford University uniform.
Kallen instantly noticed the picture on Ohgi's hand and raised an eyebrow at the sight of it. "Ohgi, what are you holding?" Kallen asked curiously. Ohgi instantly blush as he hurriedly hid the picture in order to save face.
"Nothing," Ohgi answered with a semi-embarrass tone.
The two Britannians, in Kallen's case, half-Britannian look at Ohgi with a bewildered expression before shrugging. "Ohgi, Tamaki, please wear this." Lelouch requested as he gave the two a pair of jackets and sunglasses.
"What the hell kid?" Tamaki questioned loudly as he glanced at the jacket that was way too big for him.
"Just wear it and follow me." Lelouch ordered with a confident smile.
(Scene Change)
"My boy, what took you so long?" An old man asked wearily as the people in the private room look at the new comers with curiosity.
"So this is your replacement, a schoolboy and his girlfriend together with two of thugs." An old man in his late fifties said with an insulting tone. "I thought this is going to be a challenge but I guess I was wrong."
"Another nobleman, I do hope that this one would be a challenge, actually last more than ten minutes." Lelouch commented as he and his entourage walked towards the chess table. "My good sir, remember our deal." Lelouch exclaimed as he glanced at the old man to his side.
"Of course, of course," The old man answered with a weary tone.
"What's your name boy?" The nobleman asked arrogantly as a smirked crawled on his face.
"Lelouch Lamperouge," Lelouch answered before sitting down on a fancy chair right in front of the black chess piece.
"Hey kid," Ohgi called as he analyzed the chess board and the positioning of the chess pieces. "I'm no chess master but it's impossible to win this one." Ohgi stated but Lelouch merely ignored him as he lifted the black king piece.
"You start with the King, what an amateurish move." The nobleman commented rudely while Lelouch merely smile deviously.
"Eight minutes, you're done in eight minutes." Lelouch stated confidently.
(Seven minutes forty-nine seconds later)
The nobleman gasped in shocked as his face twisted in a hilarious fashion. He lost; how the hell did he lost to a school boy.
"I don't know what happened." Tamaki snorted as he laughed loudly while the group exited the building. "But man, did you see the face of that stuck up, priceless."
"No noble in Tokyo Settlement could play a decent game of chess." Lelouch commented as he played with the keys that he received from the old man that he substituted.
"And they pay quite hefty too." Kallen commented with a small, devious smile as she eyed the five large wads of money in Ohgi's hand.
"Our cut is just thirty percent but man, I never handled this much money in my life." Ohgi said in disbelief as he secured their money. "And the car is nice to."
"This is just our first stop and that is just half of our reward." Lelouch told them as he stopped in front of a black convertible. "Noblemen here in Tokyo are nothing more but over privilege insects and most of them can't play chess to save their lives, but they do have some uses." Lelouch said as he opened the door of the car before throwing the keys to Tamaki.
"Tamaki, you drive." Lelouch said as he entered the car.
"Wait a second, before we go, where the hell are we going?" Ohgi asked as he gazed at the slick convertible.
"Casino," Was Lelouch's simple answer. "Kallen informed me that your group is suffering from a financial crisis." Both Ohgi and Kallen glared at Tamaki at the mention of their financial problem. "And because we are allies and fighting the same enemy, I figure that you guys should witness firsthand how I acquire our money." Lelouch explained as he pointed at Ohgi.
"The money that we have is 45,000 pounds, will split that to four and gamble in a casino that I know. Ohgi, Tamaki, don't even dare try to remove the hoods of your jackets or your sunglasses, Japanese or 'Eleven' as you guys are called by the ingrains that run this city, will scam you off your money if they find out that you guys are not Britannians. Kallen, I hope you're as good as gambling as you are in piloting a Knightmare." Lelouch told them with a devious smirked on his face. "As for me, I've been doing this for five years, so don't worry." Lelouch assured them as the three rebels look at each other.
"I always wanted to try my hand with those fancy slot machines." Tamaki commented with a confident smirked.
"Whatever," Kallen mumbled before swiping the keys from Tamaki. "Ohgi, you drive."
"Of course," Ohgi said as he moved to the driver sit.
"Wait a minute, the Brit said that I should drive." Tamaki complained but he was met by a blank look from Kallen and Ohgi.
"The only thing we trust you to drive is a bicycle with training wheels."
(Scene Change)
The future-Black Knights entered the largest Casino in Tokyo Settlement with no problem at all. It seems that Lelouch was regular in this place. "Okay, I suggest you guys hit the Slot Machines or the Roulettes, those games are base in luck anyway." Lelouch advised as he starred at the group of awed and surprise rebels. "Remember, each of us have 11,250 pounds worth of chips so spend it wisely and, if a casino attendant approached you and advised you to retire from the game, you guys retire, no questions asked." Lelouch advised as he walked towards the Poker Table. He was band from the chess room a month ago due to the fact that he almost bankrupt four nobles. "Oh yeah, before I forget, we'll meet in four hours in the lobby, exchange your chips to cash by then."
"Okay, if you need me, I'll be in those Slot Machines." Ohgi said while Kallen decided to wonder around for a while and try to find a game that she could use her talents on.
"I'll be on the Roulettes." Tamaki said as he approached the Roulette table. He instantly dropped Ten thousand worth of chips on the table. "Ten Thousand on red,"
Ohgi sat down in front of a slot machine and began praying silently. "Kami-sama, please give me fortune, Naoto, you son of a gun, I hope some of your devils luck rubbed off on me." Ohgi prayed as he inserted five coins pulled the lever. The Slot Machine instantly went as the reels began to roll. Ohgi had his fingers cross as he pushed the stop button repeatedly. A flash of yellow light and a loud ringing soon followed as two hundred coins fell down on the compartment on his lap.
Ohgi let out a sigh of relief as he gazed up on the heavens. "Naoto, thanks man." Ohgi whispered as he inserted five more coins. Looks like dinner will be on him tonight.
Kallen was in front of a craps table as she read the rules and regulations of the game. "So the rules are: combine the score of the two dice, if a Seven is rolled, then everyone wins, if its two ones or two sixes then it seems." Kallen looked up from the table as most of the gamblers groaned as two six appeared on the dice. "It's the casino's win." Kallen finished as she gazed at the tower of chips on the table.
"Let me have a try." Kallen mumbled as she picked two dice from the five dice offered to her. Kallen shook the dice in her hands before throwing it on the table. The Dice Combinations were 1-6, everyone wins.
"Wow," Kallen said in shocked as the people around her began cheering."That was convenient," Kallen commented as chips were shoved to her side of the table while she decided not to bet on the next shooter. By the looks of things, the guy doesn't have any sort of luck.
"LULU, WHERE ARE YOU?" Shirley shouted over the phone while Lelouch was seated in front of the card dealer, whom was sweating bullets.
"Don't yell, Shirley." Lelouch reprimanded with a soft voice. Seeing her alive still caused his heart to clench a bit, knowing that she died because of him. "I'm just wondering around Tokyo Settlement and I already know whatever lessons our teacher is going to present to us today so I didn't bother attending History Class." Lelouch said as he looked at two cards that the Dealer gave him. "Fold," Lelouch said, not liking the cards that were dealt to him.
"Lulu, are you gambling again?" Shirley asked with a tone of disapproval.
"Yes, yes, you caught me." Lelouch answered bluntly as another set of cards. "Hit me," Lelouch told the dealer as he was dealt another card.
"Lulu, return to school now! It's dangerous, with that Zero character around, something may happen to you." Shirley said with a tone that was half scolding and half worry.
"I'm inside Tokyo Settlement, Shirley. Zero won't be dumb enough to attack in public, not after his debut." Lelouch told her, knowing that C.C. was somewhere eating pizza and he was in a public casino. "Blackjack," Lelouch announced as he showed them his cards. The Dealer and the gamblers around him grunted, that was already seven in a row.
"Hey, blame the guy who banned me access in the Chess room." Lelouch told them as the dealer began dealing cards. "123 cards remaining."
(Four hours later)
"That was actually fun." Ohgi commented as he and Kallen met in the lobby. A large smile was adorned both their faces. "I actually earned more money tonight than what I've used to earn in a year on my teaching job that I used to have." Ohgi commented as three wads of cash rested on his hand which totaled to 66, 000 pounds.
"I think I'll accompany Lelouch next time he goes gambling." Kallen said to herself as she held a briefcase containing 105, 000 pounds worth of cash.
Ohgi laughed softly, he was thinking along the same lines. "I wonder how Tamaki faired." Ohgi wondered out loud as their loud mouth friend appeared in front of them, a scowl on his face. This was going to be good.
"Man, those Brits can't play fair." Tamaki whined as he leaned on the wall, pouting at the sight of money being held by Kallen and Ohgi. "Those Roulettes are rigged I tell you." Tamaki told them as the two shook their head in disappointment.
"I know, that's why you always bet in black." Lelouch advised as he walked towards them, two suitcases were on his hands causing the three rebels to gawk.
"How much did you win?" Kallen asked although, a part of her was afraid to ask.
"4,500,000 pounds," Lelouch answered as he shoved the two briefcases into Tamaki's hands. "I took the liberty of taking 500,000 for me and my sister so you guys have to settle with the 4,000,000." Lelouch told the group as Tamaki's eyes instantly shined as pounds sign replaces his eyes.
"I think I'm going to like this kid." Tamaki mumbled as he opened the suitcase to see the wads of cash line up neatly.
"Ohgi, please budget the money. The next time I'll be visiting this place would be a month from now." Lelouch said as he gave him the keys to the car. "Take the car and the money, but Kallen stays with me. Our mutual friend has a mission for the two of us." Lelouch explained as Kallen and the two rebels frown, the joy of getting loads of cash washing away.
"What kind of mission, kid?" Ohgi asked rather curiously.
"Infiltration," Lelouch answered quietly. "It seems that the Purist Faction is having a small coup d'état and most of them are out of their base. We could use this time to get some information or get some equipment at their expense." Lelouch told them as the three seems to finds the logic behind.
"Okay, I understand but why only you and Kallen?" Tamaki inquired suspiciously.
Lelouch sighed deeply; of course they still don't trust him. "Because we need someone to hide the money before crooks get the idea of stealing it and I don't know where your headquarters is." Lelouch exclaimed before pointing at Tamaki. "If my guess is correct, Tamaki doesn't know how to be stealthy and you are the leader of your rebel cell so I or Zero can't endanger you, not yet. That only leaves Kallen, who by the look of things, have some experience in infiltrating bases." Lelouch elaborated as Kallen nodded in agreement.
"Okay, you hit the mark on Tamaki sucking in stealth." Tamaki instantly yelled at the two for that. "Okay, I'm in but do you even know where the Headquarters of the Purist Faction is?" Kallen asked and Lelouch could only smirk.
"I wouldn't be much of an informant if I didn't know the location of their base." Lelouch said as showed her an electronic mapped in his phone. "Thirty minutes from here, Viceroy's Palace, underground base. I know the way."
'Thank god for time travel.'
(Scene Change)
"Hey man, do you know where Lord Kewel is? I need to pass my report before dead line." A Britannian soldier said as a pair of soldiers guarded the main entrance of the purist faction base.
"I don't know, the last time I saw him, he was with Lord Jeremiah and the other members of the Purist." A female soldier exclaimed, remembering the earlier rush. "Something about spotting this Zero character or something," The female guard muttered before the two was suddenly ambush from behind. The female guard was suddenly thrown to the ground with a loud thud while the male guard was knocked out with a well place kick on the throat.
"That was easy," Kallen commented as she looked back, only to see Lelouch grasping for air.
"Tired, must breath," Lelouch muttered in exhaustion as he leaned on the wall. They have been running for five minutes straight inside the Viceroy's Palace and the place was spacious to say the least.
"Come on now wimp, we have a job to do." Kallen scolded with a smirked. The guy was weak and has the stamina of a one year old.
Lelouch took a minute or so to regain his breath before pointing at the female guard. "Stripped and take the uniform of the female guard and don't forget to take her Identification code, access card and hand gun." Lelouch ordered as he looked at the male guard.
Kallen nodded as she dragged the unconscious frame of the female guard. It seems that they'll be playing dress up for a while. It took the two a couple minutes for them to completely wear their disguise, Kallen was a bit peeved for the uniform that she got was tight around her breasts but Lelouch resolved that by giving her a standard bullet proof vest.
The two entered the elevator as it descended. "Remember, act natural and follow my lead. If we do this right, we may get away from here with a couple of Sutherlands." Lelouch told her as the elevator stopped in their desire floor.
"I know," Kallen whispered as they began to walk.
"Here's the plan, we need to get to Central Control Office. My contact says that we can get the data that contains every military base around Japan, including every high ranking officer here in the country." Lelouch said to her silently as he consulted the electronic map on his phone. "We go left."
"That will make our job liberating Japan a lot easier." Kallen commented as the two walked silently, occasionally stopping to give random salutes on wandering soldiers and nobles that were involve in the military, how nobles get in and out of a military establishment, they will never know.
"Okay, turn right here in this corridor." Lelouch said as the two turned right. As they turned right, the sight of a soldier walking towards them stopped them in their tracks, the two soldiers wear wearing a uniform of a sergeant.
"Sir," The two stopped as they gave the sergeant a salute.
"Private West, Private Bella, aren't you two supposed to be in guard duty?" The sergeant asked sharply at the sight of the two new soldiers stationed in the Viceroy's Palace just last week.
"We were sir but we we're given orders from the higher ups to go to central control, sir. Something about transferring a disk, sir." Lelouch answered with the best military voice he could muster, which was pretty convincing. Advantages of being Cornelia's little brother.
"I see," The sergeant muttered as he eyed Lelouch with sharp eyes. "Can I see the disk then?" The sergeant asked suspiciously. Kallen gulped, shit, they may get caught.
"Of course sir," Lelouch said as he took a disk from his pocket and showed it to the sergeant. The sergeant took the disk and examined it, missing Lelouch's signal to Kallen. Kallen nodded as she slowly walked behind the sergeant.
"Do you know what this disk contains, private?" The sergeant asked curiously as Kallen position herself from behind to deliver the knockout blow.
"Sir, no, sir," Lelouch answered as Kallen raised her hand and gave the sergeant a swift hit on the back of the neck, knocking him out. Lelouch caught the prone body of the sergeant and almost fall backwards because of the weight of the man. "Kallen, help me hide the body." Lelouch said as he struggled to moved the body, much to the amusement of Kallen.
"I know brawns are not everything but you are just ridiculous." Kallen commented with a mocking smile as she assisted Lelouch in hiding the body.
"You guys are the muscles while me and Zero are the brains of the group, technically, a brain is what you guys are lacking." Lelouch retorted as they shoved the body of the sergeant to a corner but not before retrieving the sergeant's identification card. "Let's move before we meet another officer." Lelouch advised as the two began moving is a faster pace.
Lelouch was constantly looking at the map on his phone. Thanks to Jeremiah, he has a detailed map of the Purist Faction base and it helped navigating around the large stronghold, plus with his knowledge of the future, getting the information that would help him in the long run would be easier.
"Okay, here we are." Lelouch mumbled as they enter the Central Control Office and he could swear that he heard Kallen curse.
"There are too many people." Kallen whispered to him as the sight of multiple soldiers and scientist alike loiter around the room.
"I know and I had expected this." Lelouch replied as he took a detonator from his pocket and pushed the button. A loud explosion suddenly shook the base.
"You planted a bomb." Kallen asked, startled as the Central Control was thrown into chaos as another explosion shook the base.
"Actually, Zero told me about this operation ahead of time so I planted multiple bombs outside this place last night. Those bombs will explode in random every thirty seconds." Lelouch explained as he grabbed her hand and dragged her to an office. The two entered the office. "Guard the door; this will only take a moment."Lelouch told her as he approached the lone computer in the office.
"Whose office is this?" Kallen asked as he looked around the elegant office.
"Margrave Jeremiah," Was Lelouch's simple answer as he opened the computer to see the file he needed was already on the desktop. "Orange boy, you really are dependable." Lelouch commented as he downloaded the data to his USB.
"Kallen, let's go, I already got what we came here for." Lelouch stated but stopped Kallen when he was about to open the front door. "We are not going out there, it'll be too suspicious." Lelouch exclaimed as he pushed a hidden button under the table. A door then slid opened behind him. "Will be heading out here. If my memory serves me right, this door leads directly to the hangar bay." Lelouch then consulted the map and truth be told, it was leading to the hangar.
Kallen gawked at the sight of the secret door before smiling. "You know, I'll be honest with you, I'm starting to like you." Kallen admitted with a small blush. Lelouch smiled at those words as he made way for her.
"Cool, so when can I take you out in a date?" Lelouch asked playfully as the two exited the room. "I'll pay and if you want, I can make you feel better after the date." Lelouch then gave her a suggestive wink which earned him a punch on the shoulder from the blushing Kallen.
"Don't push it, punk."
(Scene Change)
"So what do you want, my treat?" Lelouch asked humorously as the two gazed at the countless towering Knightmares, mostly Sutherlands and Glasgows.
"And how, pray tell, could we smuggle these giants out of here?" Kallen inquired as she pointed at the guards that were guarding the Sutherlands. It seems that the multiple explosions cause the alert level of the base to heighten considerably.
"Your right, we just have to settle with energy fillers and ammunitions then." Lelouch said as he smiled dangerously. He then took another detonator from his pocket and once again pulled the trigger, causing a massive explosion that shook the base once again. The explosion caused the power to turn off causing the soldiers around the hangar to tense as they prepared for anything to happen.
"Kallen, I hope you know how to act." Lelouch commented as he approached a random soldier. "Private, I have orders to transfer 120 tons of energy filler and 150 tons of ammunition." Lelouch said in a voice that was best suited for the military. Once again, he thank his time with Cornelia, she may be an annoyance in his last lifetime but the time he spend with her in his childhood was really helping him the second time around.
The soldier wasn't fazed with that voice as he shook his head. "We cannot move any machines or the like, not until we know where the explosions are." The soldier answered while Lelouch scowled at him.
"My orders come from General Bartley and we need the armaments for the upcoming Viceroy." Lelouch told him but the soldier merely shook his head which prompted Kallen to step in front of the soldier and lifts him up on the collar.
"Listen here, punk." Kallen started with a demented look in her eyes while the soldier whimpered at her gaze. "We are under attack by some explosive freak and we need to make a delivery for General Bartley, the adviser of the late Viceroy, Prince Clovis, and this delivery is for the next Viceroy. Now, before another explosion happens, I suggest you arrange the energy fillers and armaments that we need so we could leave before this terrorist strike again. Do you understand private or do you want to be demoted to a trainee for defying orders from a general?" Kallen asked as she shook the poor private before throwing the soldier to the ground. "Get the armaments or you'll be spending the rest of you military career cleaning toilets." Kallen added as the terrified soldier fixed himself.
"Sir, yes sir," The soldier then runs off to arrange the armaments required by the two soldiers.
As the soldier run off, Lelouch shook his head as he spared Kallen a look. "Your good," Lelouch complimented with an amused smirked.
"I try," Was Kallen's simply reply. "And by the way, I'm driving."
(Scene Change)
The core member's of Naoto's rebel group gawked as a large, military standard truck entered their base. Normally, they would have attack but they got a word from Kallen that she and that Lelouch guy would be arriving in their base with some useful armaments for their acquired Sutherlands and it seems that they weren't kidding.
"This has been a long day." Kallen mumbled as she took off the military vest and threw it to the ground.
"Yeah but at least two out of three things your group needed has been acquired." Lelouch commented as he threw the military vest to the ground. "Give me a couple of weeks, I'll provide your group with a proper headquarters." Lelouch assured her as he glanced over behind her.
"I'll be going now; I need to report our mission success to Zero." Lelouch said as he gave a curt nod to Ohgi and Tamaki before heading towards the exit.
"Lelouch thanks." Kallen said in a voice that only he could hear.
Lelouch smiled bitterly as the memory of her from his past lifetime flooded his mind; the image of their first and only kiss dominated his head. With a sad smile, Lelouch look over to Kallen, his eyes swirling with emotions. "Kallen, you could and would have made a wonderful queen." Lelouch complimented in a whisper as he gave her a respectful bow before continuing his way to the exit.
Unknown to him, Kallen heard his complimented as her face took a shade of crimson. What the hell was that about?
(Scene Change)
Lelouch entered his room and was met by a smiling C.C., who was only wearing a tight white shirt and white panties. She was lying on his bed as she eyed him carefully him. "Did you have fun, boy?" C.C. asked with a passive voice as she stretched her arms towards Lelouch.
"Yes," Lelouch answered as he took his jacket off. He then proceeded to his bed as he allowed himself to rest on C.C. breast as she wrapped her arms around him. "I'm exhausted but it was fun working with Kallen again." Lelouch admitted as C.C. chuckled with amusement.
"She will be a fine a queen someday." C.C. commented coyly as she played with his black hair. "You choose well."
"I know," Lelouch replied before a gentle smile graced his lips. "My Red Queen and My White Witch, with you two by my side, my life would be easier." Lelouch said as C.C. smile at her accomplice.
"And pleasurable," C.C. added perversely.
"That too," Lelouch agreed as he drifted to sleep. C.C. smiled fondly at him as she allowed her Black King to use her breasts as pillows.
(Scene Change)
A beautiful yet fierce woman known as the Witch of Britannia and the Goddess of Victory stood in the middle of the burning ruins of the last rebel stronghold in the Middle East. Her knights and soldiers easily disposing those cheap imitation Knightmares that those rebels used, they were so efficient that she didn't even have to enter the battle.
"Milady," Andreas Dalton greeted, the scarred knight tone respectful and solemn as he appeared over her communicator, his Gloucester standing besides Cornelia's customize Gloucester together with her. "About our next course of action."
"Right," Cornelia muttered as a small smile adorned her lips at the sight of one of his most trusted knight. "Sorry to have you clean up after my Younger Brother."
"Do not mind me, your highness," The man assured her with a prideful smile, offering the warrior princess a respectful bow over the monitor. "Where ever you go, we shall follow you. Our lives is yours to do whatever you wish."
"Good to know," Cornelia said with a proud smile. Her men's loyalty to her was unquestionable. They were loyal to her first, the empire second. "Do you think Area 11 requires our usual treatment?" Cornelia asked a scowl merged with her regal features.
"But of course, Milady." Dalton answered with an excited smirked. "From what I've heard, the numbers there are the most persistent."
Cornelia scowled became deeper as she recalled the international broadcast that showed her brother's killer played them all like fools.
"I will put those trashes to in their place." Cornelia swore as the image of the mask vigilante flash before her eyes. 'I'll smoke you out Zero and I'll crush you. I shall avenge Clovis' murder.'
