Chap 1
A/N: alright ladies and gents! Time to have this show on the road shall we?
Remember readers and viewers alike:
I do not own Code Geass or Titanfall.
At Mons Base, New Luna...
We find Miles scanning through the schematics from his tablet that he was given. The schematics tablet displayed the blue-print diagram of the Atlas Titan along with other its functions such as pressure levels, shield defenses, ordinance set ups etc. Miles along with an engineer were looking over his Atlas Titan that he pilots whenever he along with his squad are deployed into big battles.
Now you may be wondering, what the hell is a Titan? Well let me tell you. They are basically machines that Hammond Industries created for the IMC forces. They come in three models: Ogre, Atlas, and Stryder. These machines have the ability to dash, side step, and sprint. Not only that but they can be used for close quarter combat along with commanding a team. What also made them hard to defeat is their armor. Made with the strongest alloys, steel, and ferro-uranium, these machines can withstand bullets. They are also equipped with shields for some added protection. Even if they are plated with the strongest armor along with shields, there are still weaknesses to these are still easy to destroy if the enemy fires at the red highlighted marks on the machine with rapid fire which decreases the shield levels around the Titans in a rapid pace. If an enemy pilot gets lucky, then they just rip the hatch containing the "brain" of the Titan which does the same thing to it.
Now you maybe asking, what if the pilot comes out from his or her Titan? Well Hammond Industries thought of that as well and they came up with a solution. If a pilot comes out of the hatch, then the machine is controlled by the AI to be either in guard mode or follow mode. Guard mode allows the Titan to guard an objective or stronghold and engages the enemy automatically. Follow mode is practically following the pilot wherever they go but they also engage enemy automatically.
During the war between the IMC and the Militia, both sides use these machines and the casualties were costly. Many of these machines were deployed into major battles such as the Battle of Demeter, and Angel City. The reason for the high casualty rates are the weapons. The Titans use the XO-16 Chaingun, the 40mm Cannon, M8A3 Heavy Machine Gun, M633 Machine Gun, Plasma Railgun, Triple Threat Grenade Launcher and Quad Rocket Launcher. These weapons basically tore through many ranks during a battle and sometimes disintegrate enemy soldiers into nothing.
Thankfully the war ended with the IMC recognizing the Militia's independence on the outer frontier while the Militia agreed to never do terrorist attacks on the IMC. Tensions diminished and that war is just now in history books.
Now back to Miles and the engineer. The engineer basically told him,
"This Titan should be ready in about...maybe three or four days. We still need to finish up adjusting the gas pressure levels along with the internal pressure levels to the right level. Plus we need to do some testings on this bad boy just so that you wouldn't be stomped on what to do when situations change."
Miles nodded.
"Also we techs got some notifications from Hammond Industries. They are basically upgrading these three models with some adjustments. They got some feedback and reports of what to improve on these bad boys. So if you feel like this Atlas is moving faster or what not, then that means that the adjustments are in effect."
"Huh. So that's why I didn't see any Titans." wrote Miles.
"Exactly. But anyways, don't worry about it. You would be ecstatic to see these newly improve machines unleash hell in the battlefield." the engineer laughed and so did Miles.
Leaving the engineer and the hangar bay, Z3 met him in the hallways.
"Yo Gizmo. General Gordon needs the team assembled here at his office. We got some rather alarming news."
Alarming news? Since when was that ever an issue? I mean Shadow Company shouldn't be surprised about some "alarming news" since they are accustomed to this. But if the General wants them and labels this as "alarming news", then he has no choice but to report with the team.
Arriving at the room, Miles along with the others were seated in front of the General's desk. Behind the desk is a screen of some sort. General Gordon was finishing some paper work until he heard the door close. He looked up from the paper work and smiled at the assembled team.
"Good job as always. You got the HVT out from the frying pan and already talked. We sent a separate team to eliminate the leaders of the gangs around that area. But with that aside, let's focus on the more important task at hand. Here's the news from last night."
So General Gordon pressed the button on the remote and the screen played the news from last night.
"Good evening and welcome to TV 5 News. The Holy Britannian Empire invaded Japan and conquered it renaming the said country as Area 11. Footage here shows the invading Britannian Army in Japan along with their other supporting units." said the news lady.
There showed clips of the invasion of Japan. Purple machines, with what looked like a golden lances, streamed through the streets shooting down resistance groups. There were similar clips of that in the screen.
"However, former Prime Minister, Genbu Kururugi, was found dead in his living quarters prior to the invasion. Nobody knew what happened to the deceased Prime Minister of Japan, but reports speculated that an assassin was disguised as a politician and assassinated Genbu. However there is no clear evidence of what really happened to him. Chairman Draken Lazorlo is aware of what's happening and has told all military personnel of New Luna, Zodiac Colonies, New Zealand and Martian Colonies to be ready for any attack coming their way."
General Gordon shut the TV off and looked at Shadow Company. The men sighed at the news about this. With Britannia conquering Japan, then this complicates things. They can automatically invade New Zealand without hesitation.
"Great. This is just fuckin' great! I knew Britannia and its fuckin' powers but to hear news about them conquering Japan in less than two days. With the rate things are going, they are gonna target New Zealand next." complained Z3.
"I highly doubt it. Britannia is only concerned about Japan for the meantime. They seem to be interested in the rare material in those mines that they have. I don't know what they are called but they're gonna keep Japan busy." General Gordon said to the team calmly.
"No kidding. They seem to be enjoying there so that gives us more time to have the Titans be adjusted and tested before we use those newly renovated machines in combat." said Ghost.
"Exactly. Luckily, your team doesn't have any missions for the meantime due to the shocking news that just occurred. Dismissed."
Shadow Company left the office and went back to their quarters. When Miles watched the news, the only thing that came to mind was Nonette Enneagram. You see this is his childhood friend when he along with his father and mother went to Britannia to meet their family. The quiet boy at first didn't like her because of her carefree, cheerful, and headstrong attitude. But as he got to know her more throughout the years, Miles was attracted to her. Hell he was about to say that he loves her but due to his nervousness and lack of guts, he didn't write it to her. He still recalls some memories of the two spending some time together.
[FLASHBACK STARTS...couple months ago]
22 year old Miles Gears along with his father, Silo Gears mother, Savannah Anne Gears, and oldest brother, Demarcus Gears, were there in the Villa of the Enneagrams. The reason they were at the villa was because of the engagement of Demarcus Gears and Vanessa Enneagram. It seems that the whole Enneagram family is there as well.
The Enneagram Villa was a really nice place to be. Located around the coast of the beach, the building was basically situated on the hilltop. Not only that, but the luxurious villa had a grand swimming pool. Surely it was a sight to see.
Silo and Nonette's father, Bartholomew Enneagram, were close friends ever since their high school days. Silo always talked about their days, funny moments and what not while Bartholomew agreed. The ladies happily chatted to each other, telling each other about the latest gossip in town. Then comes the children. Nonette along with her three siblings, Selena, Vanessa,and Layla, of the Enneagram family were chatting with Miles along with his oldest brother, Damarcus Gears. Damarcus is actually engaged to Vanessa who is the eldest of the Enneagram Family and the two dated during their high school days and got in touch with each other during web chats and e-mails. Damarcus actually stayed in Britannia to attend one of the all-boys school there while Vanessa went to a prestigious all-girl school for nobles.
While the two chatted, Miles and Nonette were out on the patio looking at the night sky. Miles loved the starry night sky. It reminded him of home and other things. He looked to Nonette who seemed to be in awe of the fireflies fluttering around the patio.
"You know Miles, I always love the fireflies. I sometimes catch them with my father when I was just four years old. Once I caught them, I opened my tiny hands and away they go. 16 years have passed since then and I still love these creatures." said Nonette as a firefly landed on her palm.
"The one thing my pops and I always enjoy together are the starry nights. He always tells me that when he was around my age, he along with his pops, now my gramps, looked up into the night sky and always count how many there are. Of course they couldn't count all of them because they fill up the whole domain. It seems that night gazing has always been passed down from generation to generation of the Gears family." wrote Miles and he gave the note to her.
"Still having trouble with your condition eh?" asked Nonette.
"Yeah. When my mom was pregnant with me, the doctors told her that the baby would suffer some PTVD which is basically Post Traumatic Vocal Disarticulation. They said if they still want to keep me and my mom of course said yes."
"How were you treated at school?" asked Nonette.
"I got bullied sometimes because I can't really speak out against them. But I got some friends who defended me."
"That's good. I don't know how it would feel to be unable to speak for nearly all your life. It must have been hard on you."
"Not really. In fact. I prefer to be quiet because that means I don't get a lot of publicity to myself and I also want to lead a quiet life. I don't mind writing due to my enhancements."
"Well then shall we go inside Miles and rejoin with the rest of the family?"
"Sure."
So the two children went inside the Villa and joined their family in the dining room. The maids served the guests with a serene and kind smile on their face. Bartholomew kindly thanked them and the maids bowed their heads and left. Demarcus and Vanessa sat next to each other while Nonette and Miles sat right close to each other.
"Everybody may I have your attention? I would like to thank my guest and close friend of mine, Silo Gears and his family for coming here to visit. Also I would like to announce the engagement of my future son-in-law, Demarcus Gears and my daughter Vanessa Enneagram. Their marriage is in December 17, 2017 and I would like to congratulate my daughter and son-in-law. You two make me proud."
Everybody clapped with glee and Demarcus stood up with a wine glass at hand.
"Thank you everybody. I would like to thank my future father-in-law, Sir Enneagram for that. Don't worry Sir Enneagram. I'll take really good care of your daughter. I promise you that."
"Oh shucks. You don't have to call me Sir. Just call me father. Sir is rather too formal and you are the son of my close friend Silo so don't be afraid to call me father."
"F-Father! That was embarrassing!" sputtered a red faced Vanessa.
Bartholomew heartily laughed and he did the toast.
"To my future son-in-law and my daughter's happy future. Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
The adults toasted and drank their wine with fine elegance. Of course Nonette and Miles were underage so they just drank their water. While the meal was going on, Demarcus noticed the flushed face of Nonette. Whenever she looked at his youngest brother, she for whatever reason blushes furiously. Miles didn't seem to notice it at all since he was just concentrating on his delicious meal set before him.
"Hey, Vanessa. Did you notice that your youngest sister is already attracted to my youngest brother?" said Demarcus.
"Oh. Now that you mention it, it is indeed true. So why don't you tease them a bit my lovely and handsome fiance?"
"Sure. Why not? I'll do it after dinner."
After dinner was over, Demarcus and Vanessa started to tease the younglings.
"Yo Miles. I noticed that your girlfriend over there is blushing like mad. Something going on between you two?"
Miles just looked at Demarcus for one full minute and he was sputtering. Nonette on the other hand, her face is red as a tomato.
"Yup it does seem to be the case." said Demarcus.
Unfortunately, Bartholomew heard what Demarcus said and he was acting like a distraught father when he hears the news of her lovely daughter leaving him.
"Oh no! Not my lovely Nonette! You can't leave Father yet."
"F-Father! Its not that way!"
"Oh but the way you look at him with a cute blushing face indicates something else. You should be honest with yourself and say that you love him." Vanessa teasingly said to her youngest sibling.
"My my. I never knew you had it in yourself my quiet son! Come on. Say 'I like you!' to her." said Silo.
"Now my dear. Be nice to the two young kids. They may be in their 20's but they are still young. Miles has one more school year to go before he graduates in the Crisium Citadel and Nonette still has two more years to finish up college."
"Isn't it cute mother?" asked Gloria Enneagram to her mother.
"Indeed it is. Kind of like how George reacted when he heard you being married to my son-in-law. I'll be a great-great grandmother before you know it." chuckled Gloria's mother.
Teasing went on throughout the whole night until everybody calmed down and gave the two kids a break. After that, everybody went on their separate rooms but the two young adults stayed in the living room for a little bit. After what seemed like an awkward moment, they went their separate ways.
[FLASHBACK ENDS]
Miles still held the photo of him as he was just a newly graduate from The Crisium Citadel and now commissioned as a Lance Corporal in Shadow Company. As he was holding that photo, he wonders if he'll met Nonette. The worst thing he'll do is to shoot her in battle if New Luna ever goes to war with Britannia. Z3 went over there to see what he was just holding.
"Yo Miles what are you holding out there brother?"
"Just a picture of me and my childhood friend in The Citadel graduation." wrote Miles.
"Really? She is quite the hotty if you ask me."
Miles just nodded. He then placed the picture away and went to bed deciding to sleep and get some rest for the meantime before the General give some orders for deployment.
A/N: how was that? Enjoyed it? Leave a comment on the review section. Until then, farewell.
