The members of Peace Mark arrive safely at their rendezvous point. They manage not only to secure two of the gold transports, but they also secure some of the gold that is being prepared for the next move. In addition instead of sending their second group to India, they attack another South American mine. Along with meeting Miss X, they are also joining one of their major benefactors, the Wizard.
Shogo Asahina decides to take his groups share of the gold and equipment and head back to Japan. While they work with Peace Mark, he does not completely trust them or the Wizard. He has a suspicion that the organization is being controlled by Britannians who disagree with their emperor. Still there is nothing they can do about the situation. For the moment if they want to build a resistance against Britannian control of Japan, they will have to work with others. The other issue at hand is that too many people are satisfied with the status quo in which a Sumeragi or Kururugi descendant rules Japan.
"It is a shame that we cannot work together, Asahina-san," the Wizard states.
'It is difficult to trust someone who hides his face," Asahina replies.
"Unfortunately being anonymous is too advantageous for me at the moment," the Wizard, remarks, "Still I hope that we can count on your group for any future operations. Your team is quite competent."
"I thank you for the compliment," Asahina states, "I will have to speak with the others from my group before I make any promises."
The Japanese rebels leave the Peace Mark airship aboard their VTOLs. Along with their knightmares and knightmare parts, they also get two VTOL. As they certainly cannot cross the Pacific Ocean on the two small air vehicles, they are meeting some friends aboard an old freighter.
Ryoga Senba, Toru Yoshida, and Takeshi Nagata wait for their friends to find them. Not being trained sailors, they have difficulty maneuvering their ship across the ocean. The other issue is that their group is small. Naturally there are many reasons to keep their group small. In total there are ten members on the freighter. Counting the four in the air and six more at home, it gives them twenty members. Given the conditions in the world and Japan, this makes them one of the largest anti-Britannian groups in Japan.
For Senba, this is a bit disconcerting. However given Lelouch's public façade, it makes sense because those that truly know him are wary of facing him head on. Senba begins to think of their next move as the ship's crew watches the VTOLs land inside the freighter. Luckily the Pacific Ocean is keeping to its name. Everyone goes down to see what sort of equipment, they are able to purchase. Many will probably want to see if they are able to get away with some gold. Senba sighs as he sees the knightmares. He knows that it is not much, but it is more than what they previously have. This is the beginning to their Japan Liberation Front.
Kannon Maldini is waiting alongside Salzaar Gluten for the Glinda Knights. Unlike the former Knight of the Round, Kannon knows that Schniezel is not simply wallowing away. Despite not wanting the Glinda Knights to take this mission, they have very little choice. The truth is that Schniezel wants Maribelle to be out of the way so they can begin moving certain operations to other locations. Greenland is too close to Britannia. Most of the personnel will be moved to Iceland while the equipment is being sent to Russia. Although there is lots of hate for Schniezel throughout Europe, in Russia Lelouch is hated above all. Providing them with logistical equipment and knightmare plans for a possible invasion of Siberia is the perfect peace offering for Schniezel to get what he wants.
"Does it not seem like things are too quiet?" Kannon asks.
"We are supposed to be keeping radio silence on the surface," Salzaar responds.
"Indeed, but have the Glinda Knights ever followed this policy."
Salzaar goes to consult nearby radar technician who informs him that the Glinda Knights' airships are approaching Greenland.
"Do you think that something is wrong?" Salzaar questions.
"Yes," Kannon replies, "However we are prepared for such a situation."
"You cannot mean that."
"Yes, inform all base personnel that we are abandoning this portion of the base. For the moment we will head to the base further north. It won't take us too much time to get everything out in a few weeks. The Iceland base is finishing preparations."
Salzaar sighs, "I will make the announcement."
Since they are preparing to move within the next few weeks, it does not take too long for the base personnel to get organized.
Salzaar continues to observe the two incoming airships. Something about the way they are moving does not seem normal. If it is an attempt to sneak into the base using captured airships, he would assume that they would be pushing in as fast as possible.
"Shit, scuttle the base now!" Salzaar orders, "They are landing knightmares and moving in on the ground."
The radar technicians look confused. Being in Greenland most assume that a land attack into the interior would be difficult because of the weather. Since most of the equipment is gone, they only concentrate on watching the sky. There are several loud noises outside the airship hangar.
"It seems that it is too late. Evacuate now. I will attempt to hold them off."
Salzaar manages to get to his knightmare before the hangar doors are blown off. He manages to destroy the first few to enter. A few other pilots join him. They manage to block the entrance.
"Lord Gluten, the transport airships are ready."
Salzaar nods. He knows that most knightmares or pilots will be able to survive outside in the Greenland environment. He assumes that the attacking knightmares are drones. Salzaar just makes it to the airship as it leaves. He assumes that Kannon has already given the order to fire a FLEIA. In moments the Greenland base and the Glinda Knights' airships disappear as do the drone knightmares. It is a small victory.
Oldrin Zevon wakes up to the sound of screaming. She quickly rushes out to see what it is. Luckily she falls asleep fully dressed. It does not hurt to be cautious in this situation. She grabs her sidearm and heads to the door. The other Glinda Knights are also outside in various states of dress. Unlike Oldrin they are not prepared for the situation. Standing down the hall holding Empress Milly ash Britannia at gunpoint is General Johann Schwarzer.
"General, what are you doing?" Oldrin asks.
"We are getting out of here," the general responds, "These people are crazy. They probably already killed our crew."
"General, I have just spoken with the airship crews," Toto comments, "Although I was a little surprised to find that they have been transferred to another ship, I am not completely shocked."
"No!" the general screams, "They are dead. Look at my hands. They are covered in the crew's blood.
As they look at the general's hand (which are clean), a door down the hall opens.
"Hey can you people be quiet? It is hard to concentrate with all this noise!" a completely naked Lelouch exclaims as he steps out into the hall.
"Damn," a stunned Sokia utters, "Concentrating isn't the only thing that is hard."
The others blush and try not to stare.
Like the others Oldrin tries not to stare at the emperor and his tool, however it is not easy. Even the general cannot decide whether to keep Milly hostage or stare at Lelouch. Suddenly the situation gets a little more complicated when Maribelle comes out wearing only Lelouch's shirt.
"Hey Lulu, come back to bed. I'm ready for round," Maribelle pauses and laughs, "It's so good I lost count of how many times it has been."
Maribelle notices that the others are in the hallway and hides behind Lelouch.
"What is going on out here?" Lelouch asks.
"This crazy man is pointing a gun at my head," Milly replies.
"Hey you jerk, get your hands off my woman," Lelouch commands as he walks forward in all his naked glory.
Maribelle gasps and hides behind Oldrin.
"Stay back!" the general yells as he alternates between pointing the gun at Milly and Lelouch.
Apart from his impressive gear, Lelouch's muscular body is showing. When someone doesn't need too much sleep, there are many things that one can do during that time. Even though she normally prefers woman, Sokia licks her lips as Lelouch walks past her.
"You are an idiot," Kallen remarks as she sneaks up behind the general and hit him on the head.
Milly pushes the general off and mumbles, "He is an idiot but a fucking sexy idiot."
Marika and Liliana quickly rush to cover Lelouch as soldiers come to take the general away. As Leonhard, Tink, Sokia, and Toto go over to see what is going to happen with the general, Maribelle leans forward and bites Oldrin on the ear.
"Hey, Lulu says that he thinks you are cute," Maribelle whispers.
Oldrin blushes and glares at the princess.
"I don't think this is the time to be talking about this sort of thing. We have to investigate what happed with the general. He just assaulted an empress."
Maribelle sighs, "I suppose you are correct. Do you have anything that I can wear? My clothes are kind of torn to shreds."
Oldrin blushes at the thought of Lelouch tearing off Maribelle's clothes. It gets worse when she begins to think of Lelouch doing that to her. Maribelle pretends not to notice her friend's embarrassment and goes into the room looking for clothes. A few minutes later, Maribelle is fully dressed.
"You are always so prepared, Oldrin. I should try to be more like you."
Oldrin nods as Maribelle skips out of the room in search of someone that can inform them about the situation.
As the others scurry above, Evelyn and Lilicia walk silently towards a VTOL in the secret hangar. They wait around to assure that their task is successfully completed. General Schwarzer holds Milly hostage and is quickly discovered. Because of Evelyn's geass command he will continue to act insane. This is important since it cannot seem like a momentary lapse in sanity. Lilicia uses her geass to see what the general's allies think of him. Once satisfied with the results, she make she exit. At some point today someone will have to beg for the general's life. Lilicia knows who Lelouch wants it to be even without being able to read his mind, and she knows how he wants them to beg.
Lelouch is sitting on his bed still naked. For the moment the general will sit in the airship's prison cell and wait for Lelouch's judgment. He assumes that by now the other Glinda Knights are speaking with the general, and are going to find him quite insane and uncooperative. At some point during the day he will get what he wants from certain individuals.
Kallen and Milly walk into the room and immediately strip. They each sit on one of Lelouch's legs. Lelouch puts his arms around them. Despite his womanizing ways, Kallen and Milly are by far his favorite wives. Lelouch begins to alternating between nuzzling their breasts causing both girls to moan.
"Wait, we have that knightmare duel later today," Kallen remarks.
"It's okay. I will have enough energy to take you out," Lelouch comments.
"Is that so? Why don't we make a little wager?" Kallen inquires.
"Sure, why not."
"If I win for the next three weeks, you can only sex with the two of us."
Lelouch raises his eyebrow and asks, "And if I win?"
Kallen gently bites Lelouch's ear.
"Use your imagination."
Lelouch grins and pulls them back towards the bed.
After a few hours of sleep, Evelyn is down in the knightmare hangar. It is a little weird that she is here just twenty-four hours ago. Lots of things happened in between. As is her custom Dalque is hanging around Evelyn. With nothing else to do since Lelouch is asleep, Lilicia is in the knightmare hangar as well. She is particularly helpful since she knows what the twins need before they say it.
Jinta and James walk into the knightmare hangar since the twins want more data. Evelyn hopes that her airship flying above convinces Jinta that she is not here yesterday. Dalque glances at the two teenage cadets and mumbles something quietly. After reading Dalque's mind, Lilicia giggles. Evelyn swears that Dalque says something about boys and their hormones.
James nudges Jinta forward. The Japanese boy sighs and reluctantly goes over to the three girls.
"James "Cheesy hair" Longstreet VI, allow me to formally introduce Evelyn vi Britannia, Lilicia Gottwald, and the midget Knight of Four," Jinta says as he places his right hand on his chest and waves his left hand towards the girls.
"I'll show you a midget," Dalque grunts out.
"What was that?" Jinta asks, "I can't hear you from way down there."
Before Dalque can kill Jinta, Lloyd comes over.
"There you little specimens are," Lloyd remarks, "First I need little Jinta. The little guys want to run some more tests with normal people."
"Can I see the tests?" Evelyn asks.
Lloyd shrugs his shoulders.
"I don't see why not. Cecile is over there. She like little people like you," Lloyd says as he pats Evelyn on the head.
Evelyn grumbles a little, but follows Lloyd. Dalque shrugs and tags along.
"They are probably going to take some time," Lilicia states, "Do you want to go for a walk?"
James is a little surprised but quickly recovers. He stretches out his arm.
"After you, my lady."
Lilicia giggles a little and wraps her arm around James' arm.
"There isn't much scenery here, but there is an informal museum of knightmares."
Euphie and Shirley are looking down at the tangled naked mass on Lelouch's bed.
"Come on Shirley. You have to look madder," Euphie says.
Shirley giggles, "I know, but it is so hard when you make that face."
Lelouch looks up at Euphie and laughs.
"You so cute when you are mad," Lelouch remarks, "Are you mad because I didn't invite you to the orgy or because Maribelle is here?"
Lelouch gets his answer when Nunnally comes storming into his room. Suzaku sheepishly follows after her.
"For goodness sakes big brother, it's almost eight o'clock put some clothes on," Nunnally comments, "Me and Suzu did it three times last night and we aren't tired."
Suzaku attempts to suppress a yawn as Lelouch is counting using his fingers and toes.
"What are you doing?" Nunnally asks.
"Obviously he is counting the number of times that he did it," Kallen states as she lets Lelouch borrow some of her fingers to finish his count, "It got pretty wild between him, Milly, and me. Sometime during the night Cecile, Ayame, Lucretia, and Sancia dropped by."
"Don't forget before that crazy guy went crazy, I was having a good time with Maribelle," Lelouch comments.
Nunnally's face twitches in anger.
"So the Glinda Knights are staying here."
"Yes. Don't you have a knightmare duel to prepare for?"
Yes, I do. Perhaps we should change tonight's main event to me and Suzu versus you and Kallen."
"Don't be silly," Lelouch says with a chuckle, "Kallen can kick Suzubear's ass, and I know that I can beat you without breaking a sweat."
Nunnally gets upset and rushes at Lelouch. He calmly catches her arms and sits her on is lap. After a few seconds Nunnally stops struggling and sits quietly.
"Um Lulu, aren't you still naked?" Shirley asks.
"It's cool. Nunnally is my little sister," Lelouch says as he snuggles Nunnally's neck.
"I know, but it's a little weird."
"Shirley, don't be silly. It's just sibling love," Nunnally remarks, "Next time I am going to take big brother down."
Ayame clears her throat.
"Your majesty, you have a guest waiting for you in the other office."
Lelouch's other wives feel a slight jealousy towards Ayame because she is always calm no matter the situation.
Lelouch stands and hands Nunnally to Suzaku.
"I believe this is yours," Lelouch turns to face Ayame, "Serve some breakfast while I get ready. Have Regina and Shirley attend to Maribelle. Normally I would have Kallen and Villetta attend to the guest, but Villetta is fat and Kallen is smelly. Find Sancia or Alice. Have them keep my guest company until I am ready."
Lelouch heads for the bathroom.
"How does he know who is waiting for him?" Shirley asks.
"It's because he is insane," Kallen says as she slaps Milly's ass, "I'm going to prepare a bathe."
Milly mumbles something and flips over exposing her naked body. Nunnally puts her hands over her chest.
"Mine should be bigger. My mom's were bigger," Nunnally comments.
Naturally this has Euphie and Shirley looking at their breasts. Suzaku decides that the best thing for him to do is stare at Milly because standing at the foot of the bed are his ex-wife and ex-lover (who he has a child with). He certainly doesn't want to look at them or draw Nunnally's attention.
"Hey Suzu, why are you staring at Milly like that?" Nunnally asks.
"Because he doesn't want to get in trouble," Milly says as she sits up, "Besides who wouldn't want to stare at this."
Shirley nods, "Lulu always says that Milly is a fine piece of ass."
Nunnally glowers at her ditzy sister-in-law.
"Come on, Suzu. The twins are running tests on little cadets. Let's see if any of them can beat us in the simulator."
Cassius ru Britannia is certainly not happy about being recalled to Britannia. It does not help that Maximus is happy about making the trip. It is the first time that the fourth and fifth princes come to the Homeland in many years. Unlike Maximus, Cassius does not bring his family. While the fourth prince marries twice (a Britannian noble and local woman), Cassius only has one wife (the daughter of one of Britannia's largest sakuradite mine owner). Obviously Cassius cannot upset that with the military's dependence for pink ore. Although the fifth prince only has one wife, he has several mistresses. He knows that Lelouch will certainly understand the situation.
No matter the situation Cassius cannot make Lelouch suspicious. Besides it gives Cassius an opportunity to mingle. Unless of course his father-in-law is present.
Maribelle is sitting with Regina and Shirley in the latter's living area aboard Lelouch's airship. Maribelle has seen the airship from the outside and would like to explore it from the inside. She wonders how many of Lelouch's wives have living areas aboard the airship. Although Regina and Shirley are friendly, Maribelle's mind is on other matters.
After Lelouch enters the room, Ayame and Sancia exit leaving Lelouch and Oldrin alone. Lelouch does not bother demonstrating his control of the situation. He quietly stands behind his desk pouring himself a drink. He signals towards Oldrin who shakes her head. Lelouch shrugs his shoulder and quickly downs the glass. Lelouch grabs two glasses and a bottle of wine from the cabinet. He pours a glass and hands it to Oldrin.
"This is from the imperial family vineyard in California. It is not bad considering it is from a recent vintage. I do have some from the very first years of the vineyard although those are usually saved for important celebrations."
Oldrin takes a sip and nods. She assumes that the emperor's job is not an easy one. She wonders how often he begins and ends his day with hard liquor.
"What is the occasion for this small celebration?" Oldrin asks.
Lelouch smiles, "I suppose it is early to be drinking, however there is a purpose. I have been thinking about the situation and have decided to allow General Schwarzer to live. For now he will remain in this airship's brig. Within the next few days the situation will be further assessed. Naturally the results will depend on what happens over those days."
Oldrin and Maribelle have a small conversation last night before the princess falls asleep. Oldrin considers what Lelouch is insinuating.
"I am confident Princess Maribelle will pledge her loyalty to you, Your Majesty, both professionally and personally."
"Yes, I am certain of Maribelle's loyalty," Lelouch says as he stands. Oldrin notices that his wine glass is empty as is hers, "There is something else that I want," Lelouch states as he sits beside Oldrin and begins to stroke her hand. Oldrin begins to feel drowsy and falls into Lelouch's arms. Lelouch sighs as he looks down at Oldrin, "It is too bad because I really wanted to play with this body."
"You can have fun later," Kallen remarks, "You know that this is one of the few times that that green haired witch can communicate with us about her mission."
Lelouch shrugs his shoulders as he carries Oldrin to his bed which has not been cleaned since last night's activity.
"You know I think CC would enjoy what is about to happen," Lelouch comments.
"You are probably right since she is just as sick as you."
"Ya, we're so cool," Lelouch says as he sets Oldrin beside Milly, "Here have some fun, but don't put anything in there. That belongs to me."
Milly nods as she begins to tear Oldrin's clothes. As sordid as it may sound this is not the first time that Lelouch has done this. They have tested this situation on others. The results are generally the same. To complete the situation Alice is bringing Nagisa Chiba through the Thought Elevator. Her Ward of Absolute Loyalty geass will add the finishing touches. This is also the reason why Maribelle is next door in Shirley's living area.
Lelouch and Kallen leave and head towards the secret rooms behind and below Lelouch's offices.
"I don't have much time," CC comments, "I am sending a more detailed version of this report. They are beginning to scan the area for signals being sent. We will probably move south to Barcelona soon. The EU is using the Italian peninsula to take care of several issues. In the north they are placing their knightmare industry. The central area that was devastated by Schniezel's FLEIA is being resettled be refugees from many different areas. The southern area is where they are testing their knightmares. You might remember that we have not been able to fully infiltrate the refugees so you will have to find another way to investigate the situation."
Lelouch sighs, " I was hoping for something more at this time, but I guess this will do. Keep working on the situation, but remember that your safety is the most important matter."
CC smiles and nods. With that she ends the communication.
"I didn't like the tone of her voice," Kallen comments, "I think it is time to pull them out."
"You are probably right," Lelouch replies as he closes his eyes and sits pensively.
"I am going to conduct some knightmare tests. I figure that you will be busy for the next few hours. I will do what I can to bring the other player to your room."
Lelouch nods as Kallen leaves. He decides to head back to his room and have some fun. He notices that Milly is just getting started since he is only gone for a few minutes. Since Oldrin will not wake up for some time, Lelouch decides to have some fun with Milly.
Maribelle has been expecting Oldrin to join her for lunch, but the blonde knight is not here. Along with seeing her friend, Maribelle wants to see Lelouch and talk about what happened last night. Euphemia and others come to hang out with Shirley. Maribelle takes the opportunity to slip out and head for Lelouch's office. Naturally there are no guards outside his office. In fact the door is very nondescript. If not for the fact that she has been here before, Maribelle would not be able to find it. She knows that Lelouch has two offices, and a part of her wants to look for anything else he might be hiding, however her desire gets the better of her.
Maribelle opens the door to Lelouch's room. She is immediately stunned by the scene before her. Oldrin is on all fours, and Lelouch is screwing her like a madman. It is one of the many positions that Maribelle experiences last night before General Schwarzer's incident. Oldrin collapses to the bed making Maribelle wonder how long they have been at it. Lelouch certainly seems to have plenty of stamina.
Lelouch stands and walks towards Maribelle. He taps a keypad next to the door. Lelouch looks at Maribelle and grins.
"Well I am glad that I didn't do that before."
Lelouch kisses Maribelle lightly on the lips as he picks her up. As Lelouch sets her on the bed, she can see that Oldrin's clothes are shredded. Maribelle begins to quickly undress. Oldrin stops her with a grin and just tears her clothes off. Lelouch simply shrugs. He has a few hours to kill before tonight's knightmare duels.
Evelyn and Jinta are finally able to get some time alone. They spend the morning the knightmare hangar running simulations. Then for lunch James and Lilicia join them. Now it is just the two of them. They do not go up to Evelyn's airship because that is too conspicuous. They are able to slip onto Lelouch's airship unnoticed because of all the traffic due to the knightmare duels. It also has many little corners to hide. Of course being here reminds Evelyn that her brother is doing things that are much too mature for her to think about. Evelyn would rather be elsewhere, but it cannot be helped.
Jinta notices that Evelyn is blushing as they walk towards their spot. Jinta sits and places Evelyn on his lap. They sit silently for a few minutes. Jinta certainly knows better than to make the first move. He waits for Evelyn to bring her lips up to his. They usually just kiss for a few minutes. Jinta is not stupid enough to try anything else.
Down the hall, someone clears their throat loudly causing Evelyn to stand. Even though she can only see the boots. She knows that it is Anya because anyone else would be smacking Jinta around.
"Her Majesty requests your presence in the royal family booth to observe this evening's knightmare duels. She expects you to dress as a princess, and for your escort to be dressed in his military uniform."
Evelyn hears Anya's light footsteps grow fainter. Evelyn notices that Jinta is pale. He is used to bickering with Dalque and Alice, but Anya is much scarier because of her indifferent manner. Of course there is also the fact that she is once assigned to be Euphie's knight and is now Knight of One.
"Come on, Jinta. We better get ready for tonight," Evelyn says.
Lelouch finally comes down from his airship. Waiting for him on the ground are Gino and the other Glinda Knights. Maribelle and Oldrin are walking behind Lelouch. For the moment they are simply his guests.
"Lord Weinberg, have someone escort the Glinda Knights to a booth. Princess mel Britannia and Lady Zevon will view the even from the royal booth."
"As you wish, Your Majesty," Gino replies, "There is matter that needs your attention," Lelouch nods so Gino continues, "Lady Makal and her guests are here."
"Very well. I am late so I will make my way to the booth."
Around them Oldrin notices that people are riding carts in every direction, however Lelouch keeps walking. Along the way several soldiers yell towards Lelouch who simply nods back at them. Of course it is all to show his power. He could have had the Glinda Knights escorted earlier, but he makes them wait so that they can see Maribelle and Oldrin with him. Maribelle is draped on his left arm as they try to keep up with his brisk pace. It occurs to Oldrin that Lelouch does not have any bodyguards with him as they walk.
Once inside the knightmare arena, a young woman with long blonde hair and a peculiar uniform approaches them. Behind her are a woman with long light purple hair and girl with short pinkish purple hair in a pony tail. The long haired woman is wearing a uniform while the short haired one is wearing a lab coat.
"Lady Makal, a pleasure to see you again," Lelouch says as he take the blonde girl's hand and kisses it.
"Your Majesty, allow me to introduce my friends, Anna Clement and Kate Novak."
Lelouch smiles and kisses each girl's hand.
"It is a pleasure to meet you both."
The five young women stand there silently staring at Lelouch who sighs.
"I suppose I have to introduce you to Princess Maribelle mel Britannia and Lady Oldrin Zevon."
Evelyn is followed by Jinta, James, and Lilicia as she walks into the knightmare arena. A few feet ahead she sees that Lelouch is surrounded by five women. She recognizes three of them as Maribelle, Oldrin, and Layla. Naturally like any little sister she decides to interrupt her big brother's fun. He has enough women. There is no need for any more.
"Big brother!" Evelyn yells as she leaps into Lelouch's arms.
Lelouch catches her effortlessly much to Evelyn's chagrin. She assumes that he has been having sex all morning and might be tired. Lelouch lifts Evelyn up above his head as if she is a child and looks straight into her eyes and smiles. Lelouch places Evelyn down in front of Jinta.
"Here I believe that this is yours," Lelouch says glaring at Lilicia.
The youngest Gottwald sibling does not have to read his mind to know what he is thinking, what good is mind reading if you don't stop shit like this.
"Oh is that little Evelyn?" Maribelle inquires, "I haven't seen her since she was a baby."
"Yup, she's all grown up with a boyfriend and an airship," Lelouch says as he pats Evelyn's head. His intent is to the send the very obvious signal; do not fuck with my sex life and I won't have to screw with yours.
"Well we should be on our way," Lelouch states, "Nunnally will kick my ass if I miss her duel."
Cornelia notices Lelouch enter the room with a little entourage. She expects the EU girls to be here but Maribelle and her fried are a surprise. She is not too upset about it since it is a recent development. However she does not expect Maribelle to be so attached to Lelouch. She remembers very little about her half-sister. From a young age Maribelle is ostracized from the royal family because of a family tragedy, however many nobles assist her. Eventually Schniezel and Lelouch assist her in creating the Glinda Knights.
Kallen calls Layla and her friends over to her section. Since she will be using the arena later, Kallen has a good vantage point. Not that it matters because she usually gets what she wants in such matters.
Since he will be fighting Kallen later, Lelouch goes to the opposite side of the booth. Maribelle and Oldrin follow him. Euphie is discussing the situation with Anya.
Nonette notices that Cornelia is glancing at Lelouch so she taps her on the arm. Cornelia ignores her friend and focuses on the action.
Evelyn walks into the booth. Lilicia directs Jinta and James to the Knights of the Round booth next door. Evelyn looks around the royal booth for a seat. Normally she sits with Kallen and Lelouch; however they are sitting apart from each other. Evelyn decides to sit with Lelouch as a way to make up for her acting like a brat earlier. Evelyn stands beside Lelouch who sits her on his lap like a child. Evelyn sits quietly as they observe Suzaku and Nunnally's duel with Alice and Dalque.
Evelyn is unsure whether to cheer for her knight and friend or her sister. Every few moments Lelouch whispers something about the battle into her ear. After the duel Lelouch leaves to prepare for his own battle.
"That was an interesting," Maribelle states, "I did not know that Nunnally was good enough to challenge a Knight of the Round."
"Her husband seems talented as well," Oldrin comments.
"Yes, sister and Suzaku are good pilots," Evelyn replies. She looks over and sees that Kallen has left as well, "If you will excuse me, I am going to greet a friend."
Evelyn goes across the booth to where Layla and her friends are sitting alone.
"Hello Evie-chan, coming over to sit with us," Layla states.
"Your Japanese is improving. Yes, I wanted a different angle for onii-sama's duel with onee-chan."
"Yes, it should be good."
Evelyn notices that Layla's friends do not understand Japanese.
'Perhaps we should switch languages so that everyone else understands.'
Layla chuckles, "You are interesting just like your brother. However we should stick to English so that your sisters do not think we are planning something."
"Too late," Euphemia states, 'You should all pay attention to the duel. If Cecile and Lloyd allow it, this should be the greatest knightmare battle in history.'
Cornelia looks over at her sister who is sitting expressionless beside Anya. It is certainly not like Euphie to show anyone up. She must be annoyed at something.
Lelouch is sitting in his knightmare being scolded by Cecile for what he is about to do. More than anyone the blue haired scientists knows what Lelouch and Kallen are capable of in a knightmare. Lelouch flips his communicator on.
"Kalli, we probably should have moved this battle to the desert so we can go all out."
"Don't be silly. It is too fucking cold out there."
"So are we going to go for it?"
"You bet your ass. I want the audience to have an orgasm from the awesomeness of our fight."
"That is why I love you, but remember our deal."
Kallen nods as she takes her knightmare out to the arena floor.
Around the arena floor large walls rise to protect the audience who are still able to see everything above on the Milly-tron.
"What the hell?" Nonette asks, "How are we supposed to see the action?"
"Just look up at the Milly Tron," Euphie states.
"Milly-tron, I thought it was called the Jumbo-tron," Nonette comments scratching her head in confusion.
"You know Milly Tron," Shirley says gesturing her hands in front of her chest.
Nonette chuckles at Shirley's explanation.
"By the way, where is she?" Cornelia asks.
"Planning some crazy celebration," Shirley replies.
"Holy shit!" Nonette exclaims drawing everyone's attention, "Those two are really going at it."
Everyone looks up at the screen. Lelouch and Kallen are fighting like maniacs.
Over in the knightmare hangar, Lloyd, Cecile, and the twins are not sure whether to be excited or upset that Lelouch and Kallen are trashing two perfectly good knightmares.
The battle ends predictably with Lelouch outsmarting Kallen for the victory although she claims that he cheats.
After the battle, Oldrin realizes why Lelouch does not need a bodyguard. In fact if he ever walks around with an entourage, they are safe just to be with him.
Just as Shirley predicts Milly plans a large celebration. It is the first opportunity that the Glinda Knights have to mingle with everyone. Oldrin discovers that the three young women are from the EU military attachment from the embassy. She wonders why they are allowed to view the knightmare duels.
Sokia seems to be getting along well with Dalque and Alice. The three sit around drinking by the bar. Dalque has a large mug of beer. Alice has a glass of wine. Sokia is drinking gin and tonic.
"So you roll both ways, huh," Dalque states causing Alice to sigh at her thoughtlessness. Luckily everyone else is occupied with other things.
Sokia shrugs, "It isn't like I hate guys, but most of them are lacking."
"So you like your guys to be tough and in control, what about your women?"
Sokia thinks about it for moment.
"Well I like different kinds of girls, but I like to be in control."
Dalque smiles mischievously, "Is that so? Well I think I have just the person for you."
Dalque signals towards Alice who sighs.
"Come on, follow me," Alice states, "Just pretend like I am taking you to the knightmare hangar. Well actually I am taking you to the knightmare hangar, but it is for something else."
They do not have to wait for Dalque for very long. Dalque comes in practically dragging a thin bespectacled girl with dark green hair.
"Lady Dalque, I think this can wait until the morning," the girl states.
"Oh come on, Nina," Dalque remarks, "You know that you wanted to get away from that party. Besides I want you to meet someone that wants to have a little fun."
"Why don't we leave the two of you alone. Nina knows her way around," Alice states. "Come on, Dalque. We have reports to finish."
The two KOR leave as Sokia walks towards Nina.
After the party, Lelouch enters his room and finds that most of his wives are waiting for him.
"What's this," Lelouch asks.
"It is your prize for winning the duel," Kallen responds.
"I didn't want this," Lelouch replies, "Now I get to name the five children we are going to have."
Kallen's face twitches in disbelief.
"You are kidding, right?"
"Of course," Lelouch says with a chuckle, "We are going to have eighteen kids, and I get to name them all. In fact from now on, I get to name all my kids. If anyone has a problem with that," Lelouch states as he takes off his clothes, "I have a challenge. Last one standing wins."
March 5, 2023
Over the past few months, Lelouch integrates the Glinda Knights into the greater Britannian military complex. It is actually quite simple since Lelouch marries Maribelle and makes them her royal guard. At least it should be simple, however Cornelia and Euphemia are a little upset since Maribelle is a decent strategist. However they know better than to argue with Lelouch on such matters because in the end he does what he wants. Lelouch also marries Oldrin but that is another matter.
At the moment Lelouch has more important matters to consider. For several weeks and months his operatives have been following several situations. He knows that today will be the culmination of such activity. The Knights of the Round and several key individuals are spread around Britannia and will hopefully capture someone worth interrogating.
The day has arrived for Karine to avenge the past. Today her subordinates are conducting a worldwide operation in conjunction with Peace Mark. Even though she still has misgivings about the organization, she cannot doubt that they are effective. If everything goes as planned several traitors will be eliminated along with some unfortunate souls who happen to be nearby. She knows that Cornelia, Faramond, and some of Lelouch's Japanese collaborators will fall victim to this. Although to many these people will also qualify as traitors. This will be the first strike directly at Lelouch and his empire. Even if things do not go perfectly as planned, it should rock the foundation upon which Lelouch stands on.
Cornelia and Nonette are taking a secret vacation. However Euphemia knows that it is not so secret. Presently she is traveling with Anya to her sister's location.
"Your Majesty, we are nearing the position and there appears to be some activity in the area," Anya states.
Euphemia lets out sigh.
"That is what we expected. Let's go Anya."
Paciano Bradley is making his way slowly across his brother's castle. He wonders what pompous ass decides to build a castle next to the Panama Canal. Along with several special selected operatives, he is setting explosives in preparation for a larger attack. Paciano flips his communicator on.
"This is gold leader. I have set all my charges. Give me your status."
He waits a few minutes for a response but receives nothing.
"There you are," a mysterious voice calls from above.
Two hooded and caped figures drop to either side of Paciano.
"Who the fuck are you guys?"
"It does not matter because we are not here," one of the figures states.
One of their radios comes to life.
"Hey Sanderson, Goodley, we have the bastards rounded up. They appear to be mercenaries. They say that their boss is still out there."
"We found him, Carter. What did we say about using names over the radio?"
"Sorry, I didn't think you would have it on loud where someone could hear it."
Paciano sees that one of the figures points towards his earpiece.
"Sanderson and Goodley, huh," Paciano says with a grin, "I didn't think that they would send two Knights of the Round to deal with my old convict ass."
Both men remove their hoods and are grinning from ear to ear.
"Oh we aren't here for you."
"Have you seen your little brother's wife?"
"That is something I wouldn't mind saving over and over."
Paciano continues to smile as he lifts the trigger.
"Well I will see you chumps in hell," he yells as he leaps from the castle towards the Panama Canal.
"Do you think we should have told him that we tossed the bombs down?" Sanderson asks.
"I think he will figure it out soon enough," Sanderson replies.
However Paciano is prepared for the situation. His leap is cut short by a VTOL as his charges begin to explode below him.
"Damn those guys are good," Paciano says with a scowl.
Inside the castle Luciano cannot find his robe so he tosses on one of Aphrodite's. The explosions startle him a little.
"Hey, were they going to be doing some construction down by the Canal?"
"Probably, I would have to check the schedule to be sure," Aphrodite says as she pats the bed, "Get over here. I'm not done with you yet."
Luciano shrugs and does as his wife instructs.
Naoto is hovering a few miles east of Tokyo. He looks at several containers holding several lesser specimens. He certainly feels responsible for their current condition.
"General Kouzuki, the targets have been found."
"Thank you, Ichiro. I will prepare for the operation."
Naoto does not have any Knights of the Round with him since one of them is a target. He knows that the specimens will be nothing but distractions in this case. He hates putting them in that situation again, but he has little choice. Naoto adjusts his power suit settings.
"Time to show these bastards how foolish they are to go up against the little Brit bastard," Naoto states, "Launch the specimens!"
Dorothea Ernst is outside in her garden. After the Britannian Civil War, she moves back to Virginia and her family's estate. A few weeks after the war, she discovers that she is carrying a little surprise. She refuses to tell anyone who the father is although his family knows, but they respect her decision. Of course his name does give it away just a bit. Perhaps in the future it will be prudent to let her son know about his father.
As Dorothea works on her flowers, her son plays in the dirt. In the distance she hears a low rumbling. Her honed instincts tell her that something may happen. She signals for one of her servants to come over.
"Marissa, take Uly inside."
"Is something wrong, Lady Ernst?"
"I am not sure, but I just want to be safe."
Dorothea turns to her son.
"Go inside with Marissa, sweetheart. It is almost time for num-nums."
"Time num-nums."
"Yes, now be a good boy and let Marissa clean you up. I will join you in a later while."
Dorothea stops her gardening and walks to the end of her property. The rumbling has been getting louder the past few minutes. Dorothea sends a coded message back to her staff to use the underground tunnel to escape with her son.
Four men carrying shock sticks are entering through the front gate. Dorothea only has a gardening shovel, but she has the element of surprise. Near the front gate she finds a large wooden pole.
"This will do," she says as she moves forward quickly.
Dorothea quickly lunges at the men knocking their shock sticks away. She swings at the closest one hitting him on the head. She slides over and attacks one of the men going for the shock sticks. She manages to break two of the electric rods. She hits two men hard on the head. The remaining man decides to charge the shock sticks and throws them at Dorothea. She manages to knock it down. The final one misses her but explodes upon hitting the ground.
Dorothea loses her stick as she falls to the ground. The remaining man walks over to Dorothea and picks up the wooden stick. He does not bother to hit her with it. Instead he tosses it aside and ties her legs and arms behind her back. He pulls her up by her hair and glares at her.
Dorothea hears a loud thumping sound. She realizes that knightmares are landing on her estate. By the sound of the roaring they are older models. She hopes that her servants are able to escape. The thumping gets closer as the man raises his arm to hit Dorothea. Suddenly she sees the man's arm bend in a very uncomfortable position. Suddenly Dorothea's hands are freed. She looks up at the scariest thing she has ever seen: the Emperor of the Holy Empire of Britannia smirking while glaring at a man who is screaming his head off.
"Didn't your mother ever tell you not to hit a lady?" Lelouch asks as he pulls Dorothea to her feet.
For a moment she can understand why women fall for him. He stands there calmly as several knightmares attack their location. Of course he knows that Nunnally, Suzaku, and Kallen are around to take care of that issue.
"Big brother, the house is safe," Nunnally states.
"The knightmares appear to be drone controlled," Kallen remarks, "but they show a great degree of flexibility."
"That means that they are being controlled from nearby," Lelouch comments, "Cecile, drop my knightmare. I will find the bastards. Nunnally, stay here to protect Lady Ernst and Ulysses."
"Really I get to see little Uly!" Nunnally exclaims
"That is up to his mother," Lelouch says as he walks towards his dropping knightmare.
Jamison and Olivia Cardemonde cannot believe that their operation is a complete failure. Not only do they fail to get their target, but now their operatives and knightmares have been captured. They quickly begin to exit the trailer they are using as a base of operations. They head toward their VTOL. The trailer is full of sensors and cameras to let them know if anyone enters so that they can activate the explosive within.
"Someone is approaching the trailer," Jamison states.
"Wait until they get inside so that we can take them out," Olivia responds, "In fact activate the self-destruct that way it explodes the moment that they step inside."
"The VTOL is ready to go. We can use the explosion as a distraction."
After the explosion rocks the trailer, they take off. Curious to see the action below, they activate the vehicle's cameras.
"Holy shit! What is that?" Jamison asks pointing towards the monitor.
Lelouch is walking through the burning heap that used to be a trailer. He lets his emotions get the best of him, and he rushes into the trailer without thinking about it. Rising from behind a nearby hill is a VTOL.
"There you are," Lelouch says with a grin as he runs forward.
"What the hell is he doing?" Olivia asks as they watch Lelouch run towards.
"Fuck that! How is he still standing? Even with a power suit the blast is too strong."
Jamison and Olivia do not notice the red knightmare floating in front of their transport.
"Activate the ejection seat!" Olivia screams.
Lelouch scowls as Kallen destroys the VTOL because he knows that they will eject and travel on land. They must have a safe house or location nearby. Lelouch decides to check on the other operations. He hopes that they are as successful.
"Hopefully I will be able to get the bastards who are in charge."
Author's notes: The situation will continue into the next chapter.
Obviously Lelouch's attack on Greenland is carried out by remote control knightmare drones and airships. The Milly-tron is obviously a giant screen commonly called the Jumbo tron that shows the in stadium audience different camera angles. If you cannot figure why it is named after Milly, then your brain is missing.
I forgot to mention it last chapter. Evelyn is 12. The twins are 10. Jinta and friends are 14 and 15. Lilicia Gottwald is 19. At they are at this point in the story. There is a poll on my profile about Lelouch and CC.
In case anyone has forgotten, Shirley spends most of her time aboard Lelouch's airship traveling with him. She is the only one of Lelouch's wives that does not have her own personal airship and royal guard.
A bit about Britannian history. In the northwest United States and southwest Canada, there is a large river named the Columbia. In fact the entire area was once known as the Columbia District. Britannia would not name anything after Christopher Columbus instead they would name it after a hero from their own history. In this case I have chosen Francis Drake who landed somewhere along the west coast of the United States although the exact location is not known. Britannian history would reflect the landing as having occurred further north than what is actually believed. I will make this to be the mouth of what they call the Drake River what we call the Columbia. The Duchy of Oregon which encompasses Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and parts of Idaho will be divided into two different sections, Oregon (northern section) and Draconia (southern section).
