Suzaku wakes up in a cell. He glances all around, but there isn't any light to be seen.
"Hello?" he calls, but nobody answers him. His call barely echoes, so he knows he has to be in a smaller room, or a huge one.
Getting up off the floor, he holds his hand up and starts walking forward slowly. After only ten steps, his hands encounter cold metal. He plants a hand on the wall and starts following the wall. After about three minutes of walking, he's gone around the entire perimeter once.
"So, it was twenty five steps per wall, so that puts the length of the walls at around thirty feet. The door is on that wall, but doesn't have windows or any type of latch on this side." He mutters to himself.
This could be any prison in the world. He sits down on the hard surface of the floor and stats to think. There isn't any bed, nor was there any food flaps for a guard to push food through. So, he surmised he was either to be interrogated soon, fed soon, or just get left to rot. In the first two cases, he should be able to escape easily by overpowering the guard. In the last- he decides not to think about that one for now.
He shuffles over to the door and presses against it. At least, he tries to. He presses his hands along the wall but he can't find the groove where the door is supposed to sit. He moves to the left. After about ten feet, he encounters a wall. He reverses direction, and follows the wall all the way to the other side.
"I could've sworn the door was on this wall." Suzaku murmurs. He usually had a good sense of direction, even with his eyes closed, so this was beginning to get on his nerves. He walks up the next wall without encountering a door, then the next, and finally the last wall has the door on it. He feels around the edges, but just like before, there wasn't any hinges to tell him which way the door would open. He picks the right side of the door and leans against it. Hopefully, whenever they come for him, he can ambush them.
In the meantime, he decides to think up the events that had placed him in here. First he had entered the tower, then he had lost radio contact, and then... Didn't his Knightmare start falling apart? Why was that? For some reason, the memory is really fuzzy... Wait, he couldn't remember even getting out of the Knightmare. His memory just stops after a point. "I wasn't shot, since I'm not in any pain. It wasn't knockout gas of any type, since those take some time to work. Maybe a blow dart?" He runs himself down, but there isn't any puncture wounds indicating a dart wound. He leans back against the wall and slides over to the door.
Wait, where's the door?
He feels around again but there is absolutely no door anywhere within five feet of him.
If the door can travel... That means that this can't be real. He comes to this conclusion and turns around. The door is now on the other side of the room, and the silhouette of a man is standing there.
"You finally figured it out, hum?" The man steps into the room, and suddenly the room is flooded with light. Suzaku blinks as the light overwhelms his senses.
"Yeah. Your Geass trick is pretty convenient, isn't it?"
The man smiles darkly. "I don't believe we've been properly introduced. I'm Tyson."
"Okay then, Tyson, let me out."
"After what you pulled last time? I don't care if your little girlfriend isn't here, you embarrassed me in front of my boss. I'm not going to let you out of here unscathed."
Suzaku pushes away from the wall and the door starts sliding along the opposite wall. The entire room is painted white, and the corners are kind of hard to see. He closes his eyes and reopens them, this time with a Geass symbol in one of them.
"It seems like you're ready for a fight." Tyson smirks. He raises a hand and a sword appears in it. An identical sword appears at Suzaku's feet. "Are you prepared to beat me in a world that bends to my whim?"

Kallen lets the door slam shut, restarts the engine, and dashes out from under the hover tank. It immediately turns to sight it's turret on her. She ducks behind a piece of rubble before it can sight on her, but she expects a blast any second. Instead, her comms crackle.
"Hiding from old technology? I thought I was dealing with the Guren's pilot, Kallen Stadtfeld of the former Black Knights. She wouldn't back down from a challenge like this."
"Yeah, I'm Kallen, but I'm not stupid. Your tank is equipped to take down my vehicle, and I'm not stupid enough to stand out in the open and take it,"
The hover tank glides around the corner, and Kallen jumps upwards and engages the wings to evade. The tank seems to lose track of her, however temporarily.
"Aw, but Kallen, if I was going to take you out, all I needed to do was use an explosive shell. I've got those too, I just decided not to use them. After all-" Below Kallen, the tank's hatch hisses open. "I want to fight you without these fancy weapons, Geass user on Geass user."
The woman pops out of the tank. Now that she's out in the open, Kallen can see she has blue streaks in her hair.
"Really? Why should I get out of this Knightmare now that you're out of the tank?"
The tank's turret elevates and points right at Kallen.
"Oh, the tank has an A.I. Unit in it. It's been told to fire as soon as you attempt to do anything aside from eject from your seat." The woman grins.
Kallen angrily yanks the lever that lowers the back and allows her to exit the cockpit. She climbs down until she reaches the foot, then easily drops the remaining fifteen feet to the top of the tank. When she train tens up, she's face to face with the woman.
"By the way, I'm Jennifer. Pleased to meet you. Now, get off my tank."
Kallen's leg explodes with pain. It gives out from under her and she tumbles off the tank onto the ground below.
Jennifer grins. "Thanks for that." She hops down off much more gracefully and lands about twenty feet away from Kallen.
Kallen staggers to her feet, the pain rapidly slipping away. She grabs her leg and finds it in perfectly fine shape
"Oh, that was my Geass. I can cause pain anywhere in your body at will. I got to use it on your friend Nunnally once, that was fun." Jennifer smirks.
Kallen leaps into action faster than Jennifer can react, her roundhouse connecting with Jennifer's face with a crunch.
Jennifer lands in a pile of rubble and dust, obscuring Kallen's view. She starts circling around to see if she can get a glimpse through the cloud of debris.
Jennifer suddenly leaps out of the haze and tackles Kallen. The two grab each other and start rolling downwards, trading punches all the ways.
Midway down, Kallen lands on a jagged piece of metal that both knocks her wind out and cuts her back open. Blood starts seeping through her clothes and onto Jennifer's hands, making the latter lose her grip. It only takes one more shove for Kallen to break free and tumble the rest of the way down alone.
At the bottom she tries to regain her breath. She watches the limp form of Jennifer slump to the ground a few feet away warily. After a minute of no movement and having gotten more air into her lungs, she cautiously approaches the prone form.
Jennifer suddenly opens one of her eyes. "Gotcha!"
Kallen's legs scream in pain and dump her back to the ground. Jennifer slowly stands up and walks over to the now prone Kallen.
"Silly Kallen. Didn't you know picking a fight with a Geass user is a pointless affair?"
Kallen is unable to answer as another spike of pain shoots through her entire form.
In her mind, the part not driven partially mad with pain, she hears what Jennifer has said.
"Don't you know that I'm a Geass user too?" Kallen growls. Her left eye lights up as he Geass activates.
Immediately, patterns start to appear. The rubble behind them will cascade if this piece is pulled out, Jennifer's brand of pain travels along the nerves in a cyclical way, and-
"Hey Jennifer, are you sure you still want to fight?"
Jennifer looks around her. "Let's see, I have you writhing in pain, you have no backup, and I'm about to cave your head in. Yes, I'm going to continue to fight."
Kallen grins. "You might want to duck."
Flight patterns are so easy to read. These robotic Knightmares had some sort of algorithm for path finding, and while she couldn't recite the specifics, Kallen is able to predict where they're about to go given any set of events. Which means that if she pulls out this piece of scrap-
An avalanche of debris come down on the two of them. Ironically, Kallen is in less pain with the giant sheet of metal pinning her down than she was from Jennifer's assault.
True to her predictions, the Geass Knightmares redirect right into a different group of Knightmares that can't quite dodge in time. Husks of shattered shrapnel slam into the ground, narrowly avoiding stabbing either of the women.
Kallen is the first to rise from the piles of junk.
"I thought you said, 'picking a fight with a Geass user was a pointless affair.'"
Jennifer stands up, and for the first time, her smile has disappeared in favor of a scowl so dark it sends chills down Kallen's back.

L2 is getting his butt kicked. Before he became immortal, he never did much exercise, and as such had remained weak the past twelve years, as his body would revert back to its original state after a workout.
Not that that was really the problem. The problem is that this man, Hibiki, seems to have the same power as Rolo.
"Just stop with the time stopping already! It's getting annoy-"
Hibiki's fist connects solidly with L2's stomach. He spits blood as his words get lost in a whoosh of air.
Hibiki holds a hand to his ear. "I didn't hear that. What did you say?" His eye flares with Geass again, and L2 finds himself ten feet in the air, presumably thrown like a javelin.
"Seriously! You aren't hurting of tiring me out, and it's making me confused!" L2 complains as he makes a majestic arc of a pile of trash. He lands and in the next instant, Hibiki is already beside him.
"So, are you willing to give me your code?"
L2 snarls. "Of course not!"
Hibiki smiles again. Then he rams his foot into L2, which would've seriously hurt L2 if he wasn't immortal.
Immortality is kind of a cheat, seeing as L2 realized he could literally just sit there until this guy runs out of energy or gets bored and gives up. That would even be an effective tactic against this guy but for one thing: L2 was supposed to give the final order for this mission, and he seriously doubted that this guy was going to give up soon.
Hibiki appears right next to L2 again, and L2 swings a fist around. Hibiki ducks it and retaliates with his own punch which sends L2 flying high over the pile of junk he had just sailed over in the opposite direction.
"Scratch that." L2 mutters. "This guy doesn't seem like he has a limit to his energy-"
The rest of cut off as he lands in a cloud of dust.
