This is a BBC World News Report. Despite the hiatus in the Middle East Federation peace talks, Viceroy Nunnally Kururugi is not letting her guard down. She adds that regardless of what the EU and the Russian Federation claim, she will contain to be vigilant. Already Egypt and Turkey have proven themselves to be treacherous in dealing with the Empire's noble ally.
The Australian trade talks have ceased for the holidays and will resume after the New Year. Imperial representative Faramond Langley has stated that a consensus may be reached soon. The biggest issue appears to regarding the issue of territorial fishing rights.
In news closer to home, Empress Milly ash Britannia initiated her Winter Wonderland Festival in Neo-Pendragon. Various members of the royal family will be making appearances throughout the Homeland for various festivities throughout the next few weeks.
December 25, 2027
Faramond and Monica are sitting in their home just south of San Diego. After meeting with Lelouch while leaving Australia, Faramond decides to come home and participate in Milly's festivals. Monica would prefer to be in New Zealand preparing for the counterattack of Australia which is already under way. Faramond does not know how Lelouch gets his information, but he is already prepared to invade Australia before war is declared.
"What is this festival we are going to called?" Monica asks irritably.
Faramond looks over at his calendar. "The Tamale Festival, it is an annual local festival in Neo-Pendragon."
"What is a tamale?"
"It is dish from the former Area 3. It is meat and peppers mixed and rolled in cornmeal dough and wrapped in corn husks. Then it is steamed."
"Sounds delicious. Is there any update on the war?"
"Not really, it just started. There isn't much information. In fact none of the Homeland news media even knows that there is a war going on."
"So he plans on conquering Australia before the world even knows there is a war?" Monica questions.
"Perhaps."
"I think I shall have the kitchen staff prepare some tamales so I know what to expect."
"Good idea. We should probably get a local to make us some or at least give us some tips."
After the declaration of war and Lelouch's subsequent takeover of Australia's satellites, Naoto puts what is left of his crew on high alert. Rivalz is the only one who does not have military experience. Obviously for this mission, the crew has to be highly trained.
"Isn't it strange that the military has been quiet around here?" Rivalz questions.
"A bit," Naoto replies.
With Darwin being the largest northern city, they assume that any military buildup would occur in the area. However it is obvious that the military has constructed bases elsewhere. Since Naoto is not really tapped into the overall military situation, he does not really know what is going on elsewhere in the country. He supposes that someone else should know if Australia has always had military installations throughout the north.
Several of their security sensors begin to go off.
"Damn, these guys are slick!" Naoto exclaims. "They moved in small numbers through the tunnels. It took a while for the sensors to pick them up."
"What do we do?" Rivalz asks.
"We get the hell out of here. We move towards the gate quickly and blow this place up. There isn't anything valuable here anyways."
"Too late," one of the crew states, "They are firing missiles at us. Probably from one of the ships at the harbor."
"Set the self destruct sequence. That should distract them enough to let us get out of here."
Naoto quickly activates the bombs that are scattered throughout his crew's facility.
"Let's move. Everyone has their exit point."
Each member of the crew runs towards a different area of the complex. Once out of the area they will make their way towards the dock.
Naoto begins to move slowly towards his exit point as the bombs begin to go off.
"Come on, let's move!" Rivalz exclaims. "The soldiers will be prepared for something like this. We need to move quickly to take advantage of the explosions."
Naoto nods and notices that he is still very close to the main office. He does not make it very far when the missiles launched from the harbor begin to strike at his base. Although the bases is equipped with instruments that scrambles the missiles' homing beacons, this presents another problem since the base is littered with bombs in case of an attack. Normally Naoto would know the pattern of the self-destruct sequence; however the exploding missiles have upset the sequence.
A massive explosion sends Naoto flying. He tries to stand up, but staggers and falls.
"I see Landers down on the ground."
"Surround him quickly!"
Naoto dozes off as several soldiers surround him.
"Is he still alive?"
"I saw him trying to get up. I believe he is only unconscious."
"I hope he is alive," the commander states as he kicks Naoto. "With this person in our possession, Britannia will have to back down. Get him in the truck."
Several soldiers roughly carry Naoto to a nearby truck.
James Longstreet, John Joseph Bradley, and William Wordsworth are assisting in moving equipment. Longstreet wonders if Australia is crazy enough to start a war.
"Come on you lazy bums; let's get this equipment into the storage sheds!" Longstreet yells out.
The cadets grumble about being forced to do manual labor. With all the equipment and knightmares being brought in, everyone has to do their part.
Longstreet begins looking around. At the moment the base is not very well organized.
Suddenly several alarms begin to sound.
"What are those?" Longstreet asks.
He is answered by odd looking knightmares attacking the base.
"Everyone down!" Longstreet screams, "Find a way to get to the underground shelter."
Before Longstreet can guide his recruits to safety, several enemy knightmares swarm around them.
"Damn, looks like we aren't going to make it," Longstreet states. "If only I could to knightmare."
The enemy knightmares point their weapons at the Britannian soldiers.
"Bastards," Bradley growls.
"I guess this is the end," Wordsworth comment, "We should have made a run for the weapons in the crates."
All of a sudden two small knightmares come and take out the enemy. Longstreet pushes several cadets down and covers them.
"Hey Old Pete, is that you?"
"Who the hell is old Pete?" Bradley asks.
A small airship lands and shields the cadets from attacks. The small knightmares take positions opposite from the airship to provide cover. Two teenage boys step out of the airship.
"There you are Old Pete. Where is Sherwin?"
Longstreet begins to rub his eyes to be certain that he is not dreaming.
"These kids look like those royal twin brats," Bradley says.
"I believe those royal brats are actually our age," Wordsworth states.
"Sherman is in Siberia," Longstreet replies, "Aren't you guy supposed to be there as well?"
"Minor details, Lieutenant Longstreet," one of the twins answers (Longstreet still cannot tell the difference and does not know how anyone else can).
"Are you two done catching up? Things are getting really hectic over here," a voice from one of the small knightmares calls out.
"Then let's quickly get down to business. We have some new toys for you to play with. We have some for your little buddies as well."
The cadets begin to buzz with glee. The twins signal for everyone to follow them into the airship.
"Most of these cadets don't have practical knightmare training," Longstreet states, "I don't know how much good they will do out there. I am responsible for them and do not want to see them get hurt or killed."
The last comment quells some of the excitement of the cadets. Most have been itching to see real knightmare combat.
"Don't worry. Big brother saw combat while he was a cadet. Of course he is the greatest knightmare pilot in history, and most of these guys don't even look like they know how to turn a knightmare on."
"Turn a knightmare on. Most of thee guys don't look like they know how to get in a knightmare."
The comments by the twins seems too rile the cadets. Longstreet still does not like the idea of using these barely trained cadets. The presence of the twins Longstreet to believe that Britannia is quite ready for this war. The seemingly unprepared forces in New Guinea are serving as bait for Australia.
"Lieutenant Longstreet, the engineers are waiting for you."
The cadets are also waiting for Longstreet's decision.
"I assume that his majesty is behind your being here so I will do my best. I mean we will do our best," Longstreet says as he gestures towards the cadets.
The twins nod, and several men swarm over Longstreet and the cadets to prepare them for knightmare combat.
Although Oldrin and the Glinda Knights have always been under someone else's authority, Maribelle has been able to secure some form of independence for them. This time they are under the command of someone they do not know very well, Kallen kou Britannia. For the moment there is not much for them to do but wait for Australia to act first. Overnight the Glinda Knights head south from Madagascar and meet with a larger fleet coming from South America or possibly the Homeland.
Oldrin can sense the anxiousness in their commander. Unlike Oldrin who has been allowed to be with the Glinda Knights around the world, Kallen has mostly been restricted to Neo-Pendragon. At least this is how it appears to the world. Like others Oldrin wonders why the Emperor would give such a mission to a trusted but seemingly inexperienced commander.
"Are you nervous, Oldrin?" Kallen asks.
"No, but it seems a risk to focus so much attention on Australia while other fronts are left bare."
"It may be dangerous, but this show of force may be just what is needed to make the world see our resolve."
Oldrin thinks about what Kallen says. Quickly defeating Australia may show the rest of the world what can happen to them if they challenge Britannia.
"When we arrive, we will leave a small force in Perth and head for the interior," Kallen remarks.
Oldrin nods. She expects something like this. It makes little sense for Australia to devote any real forces to protect their western coast. There may be a token force there, but most of their effort will be devoted to the invasions of New Guinea and New Zealand
"Your highness, the Emperor has sent a memo on the units he wishes to be left in Perth," Marika states.
"Very well Marika. I assume that you will inform them of their new task."
Marika nods and walks away. Oldrin wonders why Lelouch would care about which specific units Kallen leaves behind.
"It is better not to think too much about why Lelouch does what he does," Kallen comments, "Once we push into the interior, the fighting will get fierce since it will mostly be people fighting for their homes."
"Your highness, our forces have met little resistance pushing into the city.
"Good, secure a temporary position for us to unload the troops that will remain here."
The pilot nods and moves the airship into position. The other airships in Kallen's fleet take positions around her ship.
Kallen looks at her monitors and sighs. "Well thus far everything has gone as planned. Let us hope it continues that way."
Lilicia does not like what she sees in the secret reports dealing with weapon shipments to Australia. While she expects some shipments, these seem quite frequent and massive to just be knightmares and weapons. To make matters worse Lelouch is allowing older knightmares to simply disappear. Lilicia is about to check an unusual delivery when her intercom beeps.
"What is it?"
"Commander, we have the subject in custody."
"Bring her here."
Lilicia makes a mental note of the file she is looking at. She will have to continue her research into weapons shipments to Australia at another time. Now she gets to take care of an important matter. She will have to handle it carefully since no one here understands anything about geass and codes.
GG is dragged into Lilicia's offices.
"You may leave now," Lilicia commands.
Her subordinates look at GG with a mixture of confusion and awe. They do not know the power behind the middle aged Indonesian woman. Lilicia is not about to explain it to them. She simply wants to take what GG has.
Once the guards are gone, Lilicia walks towards GG. Lilicia is not sure how the mechanics of this work. GG is lying on the floor with a bit of a smirk.
"I would wipe that smile off your face. I know what you are," Lilicia remarks.
Although not a linguist, GG can tell from Lilicia's accent that she is from Britannia. Britannians are the only thing that GG fears.
"Don't once I have what I want, I will let you go," Lilicia comments.
"It would be more humane to kill me," GG replies.
"I suppose you have a point, but I will not kill an innocent defenseless person. Once your code is gone, you will no longer be a threat. In fact you will at quite a disadvantage since the world you knew is long gone."
Lilicia stretches forth her hand. For a moment GG struggles before giving in and surrendering her code. Lilicia does not feel any different except that her headache is gone. She knows that one consequence of taking a code is giving up your geass unless you have multiple geass abilities like Lelouch.
Lilicia taps her intercom. "Come and get the subject. Deliver her to one of the safe houses."
Two guards come into the room and take GG out. Lilicia goes back to her desk and continues with her work. Immediately the consequences of her actions are felt as she does not know what the guards are thinking. She will now have to pay more attention to what people say and do since she will not know what they are thinking.
"Now where did those reports go?"
Lilicia begins to search for the reports she was looking at before GG was brought into the room, but they seem to be missing. She will have to hack her way back into the system. Another consequence of her losing geass is that she cannot simply get passwords from people's minds anymore. She remembers something about uranium in some of the files.
Salzaar Gluten and Maurice Marcel are waiting for the last of their cargo to be unloaded. Like many others, they wish Australia had waited before going off half cocked against Britannia. Having been part of the Britannian war machine in the past, Salzaar understands its power. At least the W-0 science team does not make it to Australia. Currently they are in Indian Ocean waiting for orders to return to Europe. The W-0 knightmare pilots manage to land in Australia and decide to stay. For now they will simply protect their shipments and any EU citizens that come their way.
Salzaar decides to establish a base within an old Australian base. He is quite annoyed that his team is forced to bring the shipment so far inland. Having so many EU troops in Australia can cause problems. A few could be dismissed as advisors. Having a brigade of knightmares will lead to misunderstandings that the EU is not ready for.
"Lord Gluten, the W-0 pilots should arrive within the hour. Perhaps it would be better if we head towards the coast. The W-0 science team could rendezvous with us,' Maurice Marcel states.
"No, it is too late for that," Salzaar says shaking his head, "We do not know where Britannia troops are heading. Besides our own science team has to stay and give instructions to the Australians on the weapons we brought."
They both look warily at the weapons they brought. The boxes are too large for conventional weapons and are oddly shaped for knightmares. The scientists are quite freaked out by any sudden jostling of the shipment.
"I wonder if there will be any Australians left to receive our shipment."
Salzaar sighs at the comment. Over the years they have brought a few shipments to Australia. There has always been someone there to receive the package usually some useless bureaucrat or officer. This time there is no one here. There was no one questioning their entrance into the country and trip to this base. Due to the just started war and the unexpected immediate Britannian response, there is much confusion in the country.
"Have we been able to contact anyone?" Salzaar asks.
"Not that I know of," Maurice Marcel replies, "I will head to the communications area to see what can be done. The sooner we get someone to take our shipments, the sooner we can leave this godforsaken country."
Salzaar nods as Maurice leaves. Like most northern hemisphere inhabitants, he thinks very little about the conditions in the south. He simply forgets that it is summer down here.
"Lord Gluten, the W-0 is here."
Salzaar glances towards the arriving airship.
"Have them dock with the other airships. I will meet with the commander aboard my airship in thirty minutes along with the other members of the command staff."
The soldier salutes and leaves to give Salzaar's instructions.
Salzaar looks at the packages once more before heading towards his airship. Soon he will have to decide whether or not to make their exit from Australia. Britannian forces will soon be swarming all over Australia. Even though they are in the interior, they are a large enough force to draw attention.
Admiral Paul Dundee has been selected for one of the most glorious moments in Australia's history. He is leading the fleet that will conquer New Zealand. He is very little doubts about his ability to accomplish his task. There has been very little resistance. He assumes that Britannia is gathering its troops on the islands. If that is the case, then the Australian troops will wipe them aside. Now is the moment that Australia takes its place in the world.
"Admiral, we are tracking several objects in the air."
"So it begins. Send our knightmares out to deal with them."
"Sir, we have a visual of the enemy."
Admiral Dundee signals for the image to be brought up. Two knightmares are shown at the forefront of a few dozen.
"That is it," Admiral Dundee says half laughing, "This is all that mighty Britannia is able to gather."
"Sir, our records indicate that those knightmares belong to the Knights of One and Two."
Admiral Dundee is startled for a moment. He wonders why Britannia's most powerful knights would here at this very moment.
"Fire with everything you have! Now, fire! Send every knightmare we have out, now!" Admiral Dundee screams.
"Admiral, why?"
"They knew we're coming. They knew all along."
Anya and Gino send the Britannian fleet away from New Zealand, but have them take a roundabout route. Lelouch wants the fleet to arrive in Australia unmolested. However this presents the problem of what to do with the Australian fleet. Naturally this is where Anya and Gino come into play.
"Lord Weinberg, there are ships over the horizon."
Gino looks at his radar. The Australians must have chosen to come by sea because they hoped to avoid radar detection which is naturally looking for aircraft. Unfortunately for them, Lelouch thinks of all this stuff.
"Well I guess we should be good hosts and meet our guests," Gino comments
Anya nods in agreement and walks towards her knightmare. Moments later Anya and Gino are floating ahead of their troops. Being the Emperor and Empress's personal knights, they slightly more troops at their disposal than the other Knights of the Round.
Gino brings out his MVS as the enemy approaches.
"Gino, " Anya says as she stretches her MVS towards Gino in a Lelouch-like action.
Gino smiles and clashes his MVS into hers. "Let's do this
The Australian ships begin firing. Very few shots reach their target. Those that do are block by the blaze luminous. Above the ships, Australian knightmares fill the air.
"Hey, Anya let's use the new weapons."
Anya and Gino sheathe their MVS and pull out large rifles.
"Did you read the instructions?" Gino asks.
Anya shakes her knightmares head.
"Well it cannot be too difficult. Let's see electromagnetic pulse rifle," Gino pauses as he bring up the on-screen manual, "I guess we just keep our distance and not cross the streams."
Anya fires her rifle at an Australian knightmare. After a few seconds the enemy knightmare falls into the ocean.
"Wow that was cool. Let me try it," Gino says as he fires his rifle.
The Australian knightmare attempts to dodge, but the pulse manages to hit the knightmare. The pulse takes out the target and a nearby knightmare.
The Australian knightmares, which had been moving forward slowly, stop in place.
Anya begins firing her rifle rapidly. A few enemy knightmares fall into the ocean, but most manage to fall onto the ships. Gino begins to do the same.
"According to this manual, the rifle only disables for a few minutes. Someone over there is going to figure out that they just need to spread out to overwhelm us," Gino comments, "We're going to have to go in and finish them off."
Anya tries to formulate a plan to defeat the enemy. While using the EMP rifles, they cannot approach the enemy. Their airships are back in Wellington providing cover in case the viceroy has to be evacuated. The idea was to keep the Australian military occupied while Lelouch and Kallen invaded Australia. Beyond that it is up to the local commander to make decisions.
Gino puts the rifle away and pulls his MVS out. "I guess we are going to have to do this the hard way." Gino signals for his troops to move forward.
The Australian knightmares begin to spread out.
"You know this is the part of the program where Lelouch would rush the enemy destroying all their knightmares or would have a secret army of knightmares rising from the ocean behind the enemy," Gino remarks.
Anya nods in agreement.
"Funny you should mention such an outrageous plan," a childish voice says as missiles begin to slam into the Australian knightmares. Several jets begin to circle around the enemy.
"Who is this?" Gino asks.
"James kou Britannia at your service."
"Little James, you're out here!" Gino exclaims.
"Don't be an idiot. I am only ten years old. My mother would murder someone if I was allowed to enter a war zone. The jets are drones."
"I knew that."
"Destroy the ships," Anya orders, "Without the ships; the knightmares will not have supplies. The soldiers will not have leadership."
"Cut off the head, huh," James states, "Sounds like a plan. These drones won't last long against all these knightmares. Let me give out the orders."
Faced with another challenge the Australian knightmares begin to organize once more.
"Admiral Dundee, what are your orders?"
Admiral Dundee sighs heavily and begins to grind his teeth.
"I gave you orders. Attack! Attack! ATTACK!"
James organizes his drones for effectiveness. His little group is joined by other drones.
James signals the attack with a yell. "Banzai!"
Anya and Gino signal for their own troops to move forward. Anya pulls out her EMP rifle and aims it at the first ship. While the EMP rifle is not as effective against something as large as a battleship, it does disrupt enough electronics to allow the drones to crash into it.
A few of the ships evade or shoot down the drones and move forward.
"Let's go," Gino signals for their troops to attack.
Despite being outnumbered ten to one, the Britannian royal guard is second to none as a knightmare force. The Australian knightmares are also of a lower class.
Gino and Anya use the EMP rifle in short doses as their troops take out downed enemy knightmares. James's drones do less damage than hoped so many Australian ships are still active.
"I think we are going to have to withdraw towards New Zealand and use the airships to blast them," Gino remarks.
"Lord Weinberg, I am tracking several small low flying objects coming up behind the enemy.
"Did Lelouch send some airships our way?" Gino wonders.
"They do not appear to be Britannian models."
"They must be transporting more Kangaroos and Dingoes," Anya comments.
The original Australian knightmares based on stolen Britannian models are naturally derided by Britannian soldiers. The different models are named after Australia's unusual fauna.
"If that's true then even with the airships, we do not have enough to stop the invasion. We will have to evacuate the viceroy and hope Lelouch accomplishes his goals in Australia," Gino states.
"I am quite disappointed to hear you speak that way, Knight of Two," a loud booming voice states as missiles fill the sky above the battle heading towards the newly arriving Australian airships.
Gino looks up and sees three giant airships high above the battle. "What the hell are those things?"
"Those are Supremacy class airships," Anya replies. "I recognize the Demeter, Yomi, and Hades."
"The question is what are they doing here?"
"The answer is quite simple. I, Cornelia li Britannia, am here to take over this front," Cornelia states in a loud bombastic voice.
"Do all you royals speak like pompous asses?" Gino asks with smirk.
Cornelia begins to grumble.
"Yes, yes we do Lord Weinberg," Euphemia answers as more airships fill the air above the Australian airships.
"Your majesty," Anya gasps in surprise.
Despite being alarmed at Euphemia and Cornelia's presence, Gino is more shocked by Anya's surprise.
The Australian knightmares, new arrives included, huddle to deal with this new Britannian move. Ten of Britannia's fifteen Supremacy class airships are in the air west of New Zealand. Each airship is large enough to house thousands of knightmares, planes, tanks, and soldiers. Even one is enough change the course of a battle with its cargo and firepower.
"What are you orders, Commander-General?" Anya asks.
Being Knights of the Round makes Anya and Gino personal knights of the Throne and give them access to elite troops, but Cornelia is Commander-General of the Britannian Unified Armed Forces although Lelouch outranks her as Commander-in-Chief and all around badass.
Cornelia looks down at the Australian fleet. Being inexperienced in battle the enemy has made the horrendous mistake of allowing themselves to be surrounded. While the airships were using stealth technology to move into position, neither side in this battle had any scouts spread out. She expected such a thing from Australia, but not trained West Point graduates. Although in Anya and Gino's defense, their scouts probably saw the airships were Britannian and wanted to keep radio silence about it.
"The Emperor wants this force obliterated," Euphemia states.
Admiral Dundee stares up at the Britannian airships. Even the largest ocean-going ship is dwarfed by the largest airship. They are more akin to floating cities. Now ten of those behemoths are in the air above his fleet out of his reach. Yet he is not out of their reach. If only his commanders had obeyed him and attacked the Britannian knightmares quickly. It is obvious that the knightmares were alone out here. Their own airships probably back in New Zealand most likely ready to evacuate important government officials.
He knows his knightmare potential and that it outweighs what he can see from his enemy, but he does not know what is in those airships.
"Fire upon the ships," Cornelia orders, "Once they are disabled the knightmares will helpless."
The Britannian airships open fire upon the Australian fleet.
"Don't let any knightmares escape," Anya commands as she fires her EMP rifle.
Gino does the same. In a matter of minutes the Australian fleet is destroyed. The few survivors are brought aboard one of the smaller airships that arrive as the battle winds down. The salvaged Australian knightmares are brought aboard an airship inhabited by Lloyd and his science team.
"Lord Asplund, the final knightmare is on board. Are we staying to recover those that went underwater?"
Lloyd shakes his head. "No, others will be assigned to that task. His majesty wants this prepared as soon as possible."
Lloyd looks on as his subordinates prepare the Australian knightmares for drone placement. The knightmares do not have to be battle ready, but they do have to be functional. Once they are online, whoever is in charge of drones will take control of them.
Yet again Lelouch manages to fool his enemy into taking his bait. Australian forces manage to land in New Guinea and move towards Australia unmolested. Meanwhile three Britannian armies are attacking Australia from both coasts. They will soon be joined by a fourth (Cornelia's), and possibly a fifth coming from Japan.
Anya and Gino are the last to board their airship which arrives from New Zealand as the battle ends. Other smaller airships come as well.
"Have the captain move the airship forward to join the invasion," Anya orders
"Yes my lady. I believe the captain is already making preparations, but I will make sure."
Anya and Gino step into a small compartment to remove their flight suits. It will be some time before they arrive in Australia. Once there they will communicate with Lelouch about the next move. They assume that Cornelia and Euphemia will move towards New Guinea to confront Australian forces there.
They look at a revised map of Britannian forces. There is very little information about Kallen's invasion in the west. There is even less known about the Japanese force coming from the north. Only Lelouch would have the information. Each piece of the puzzle is coming together.
Lelouch is hovering above Sydney. Below his force is routing what few troops Australia has left to spare. He quickly decides that it is not necessary to stay here. Down in Canberra, the Australian president and parliament are probably getting ready to abandon the city.
"Your Majesty, the mayor and police chief wish to discuss terms of surrender," Jeremiah states.
"Deal with matter. We will only accept unconditional surrender. If they do not like it, blow things up," Lelouch replies. "I think I will head down to Canberra to deal with whoever is there."
"Is there any news from the other fronts?"
"Anya and Gino are on their way to Melbourne. Cornelia and Euphemia may soon move towards Brisbane. The situation in New Guinea is a mess."
"I see. I will deal with the situation here, Your Majesty."
Lelouch foresees such a move so he quickly begins to assign units to his Canberra move. It does not take Jeremiah very long to negotiate with the Sydney city government. Lelouch's show of force at the outset of the battle is enough to intimidate them.
Lelouch makes sure that word leaks out that he is moving towards Canberra. He hopes that civilians will take the opportunity to leave the city. He also moves slowly. While he may not need the rest, his soldiers do. He will allow them to rest for night as their vehicles are refurbished. In the morning he will unleash his full force upon the Australian capital.
The Australian Parliament is having an emergency session to discuss impeachment proceedings against the president. Having declared war on and invading Britannia without the consent of parliament, the president overstepped the powers granted to his office. They are moments from taking a vote when a loud screeching sounds echoes from outside the chamber.
The doors open and in walks Lelouch vi Britannia carrying a large bloody sword.
"Sorry about your guards," Lelouch says with a huge grin, "but they just would not get out of Scooter's way."
The members of Parliament stand there in awe as Lelouch enters the chamber.
"Scooter, I thought I told you to dress up for this occasion. We are visiting the Australian Parliament," Lelouch pauses for a moment, "Scooter, do not talk back to me! After we kill these guys, we can get pizza."
Lelouch presses a button his sword, and the cleaning system activates. Lelouch looks up with a scowl, his amethyst eyes glaring up at the members of Parliament. Several members turn away in fear. The lead members stand tall.
Lelouch smiles, "I guess that means you're first. Scooter loves it when people are eager to test him."
Author's note: So it's been over a year since I lost wrote a chapter. Sorry about that. Combination of writer's block and too much work. Most of the next chapter is finished since it was originally one chapter, but it got too big.
Just a few more chapters until James kou Britannia enrolls in the same military jr academy as Lelouch.
In case any does not know, Old Pete is the nickname of American Civil War general James Longstreet who is the ancestor of James Longstreet VI.
Technically in English, Parliament always refers to the UK Parliament just like Congress always refers to the US Congress. If other nations use these words for their legislative body, the country name goes before.
