Chap 4
A/N: sorry if my last chapter that I uploaded was rushed. But no worries. I'll improve it next time.
As many of you readers are aware, if you have read the third chapter, you probably know that Miles encountered Lelouch thanks to him trying to cast his Geass over. But as it turned out it failed. Now you may be asking how that is. Well it was explained in the beginning of the third chapter.
Now if you so faithfully read this story, you maybe wondering, is Giriko-99 gonna have the innocent and bubbly Euphemia Li Britannia be killed by Lelouch and let her go haywire on the Geass? The answer is, I'll not have Euphemia die in this story. I felt that she should have never died in the series at all but hey, I don't own the anime. In fact this chapter is just having Miles go on a solo mission so that he can save Euphie. Although I'm wondering if I should have a mini harem on this story or let Euphie and Suzaku be a pair like in the anime. Tell me what you think.
I also edited the weapons page a bit so check that out.
Disclaimer:
I do not own either Code Geass or Titanfall.
Days later after the surprise attack on the base...
Miles got his gear on and head straight into the drop ship. Sitting down with his MRT Tablet, he opened it and pressed the "Op" app. Placing his earbuds on, he listened to the mission briefing at hand.
"As you men were aware about that attack on Mons Base, its from an organization called the Black Knights."
"Black Knights?" asked Phantom confused.
"The Black Knights is a resistance group led by the leader named Zero. However, Gizmo met Zero unmasked who was trying to steal our top class information which prompted this all out assault on the base. Zero unmasked is nothing more than a kid name Lelouch Lamperouge." said Gordon.
"You mean the exiled royalty kid?" asked Z3.
"Precisely."
"Holy shit. A nineteen year old kid leading a resistance group against Britannia. This kid must be helluva smart for his own age." remarked Shadow Lead.
"No kidding. The news report pertained towards Japan had been rather surprising. Third Princess, Euphemia Li Britannia, established the Specially Administrative Zone of Nippon. This is gonna be quite something considering that she is the only Princess to never follow Britannia's way of thinking."
"So we're gonna be sent down there. Okay understood." said Ghost. But General Gordon has other plans.
"No. This is a solo mission for Miles. I'll let you take point this time. Your mission is to be a guardian angel to Euphemia and make sure that nobody has a beeline on her. I have no doubt that there will be some who disagreed with her and would happily take her life. Make sure that it doesn't come down to that."
Miles exited the Op app and went to the Gun Smith app. There he saw the recommended set up for the mission.
"You'll need to be ready for anything that's coming your way. I recommend a silenced sniper rifle with a tactical scope. For your secondary, either a silenced PDW would be best if you're engaging enemies up close and personal. They'll let you dispatch enemies quickly and silently." said Ghost in the MRT.
Miles picked the Black Magic Sniper Rifle and customized it with a digital urban camouflage, a silencer, and high power scope. For the rounds, he decided to have the magazine loaded with Exacto Rounds which helps the bullet in mid-flight hit the target. Once he got that, settled, he went to design the SIG MPX. He placed the rounds into armor piercing rounds, along with a red dot sight on the rails, extended magazines, adjustable stock, foregrip, and a silencer. Once he got that marked into his set up, he saw the tray come down with the said customized gear. Once he cocked the guns and placed the safety off, he grabbed his gas mask and placed it on his face. The gas mask basically had a filter that allows him to use it underwater or snuff out the harmful chemicals. The gas mask basically has the filter go on the left side of his face. The crosscom then slid on his right eye as he checked to see if all of his gear is ready. Once he got everything checked, he sat down and enjoyed the silence of the ride.
The plane then lowered itself so Miles got up from his seat. The hatch opened up and the pilot told him,
"Radio me when you are finished with the mission, Shadow 4. Good luck."
The silent marine head out towards his objective. As he was walking, General Gordon tapped into his comms.
"Gizmo, this is Overlord. This mission is a stealth mission so make sure to never trigger any alarms. If you do, then the mission is done before it even got started. Understood?"
"Roger Overlord." said Miles through his vocabulator.
"Alright then Shadow 4. Good luck."
"Gizmo. If you do this real well, I just might retire." said Ghost.
"Not very helpful at all Boss." said Miles through is vocabulator.
"If you save her life, I don't doubt she'll call you her knight in shining armor young bro. You might even score." said Z3 making Miles have a tick mark.
"Yo Gizmo. If you accomplish this one, I'll buy you a round. How about that?" said Shadow Lead.
"You already owe me like 4 Shadow Lead." said Miles.
"True. But hey I'll buy."
"Thanks."
Miles sighed but pressed on to his objective. Too bad he had to go all the way to the objective since his landing was in a forest. Well, can't really complain if that's the way things are going. As he walked by, he saw a some assassin squad out there. As he was about to kill them, he spotted a truck coming his way. He activated his camo on and hid behind some thick trees. Miles grabbed grabbed his drone and unfolded it. Once he did that, he pressed the camouflage button, Miles tossed it up in the air to do some recon work.
Moving the drone around, he marked some targets. Luckily the truck drove away leaving him to kill them. But before he starts to kill the rest of the patrol, he heard somebody ordering the assassin guards in English with a Russian accent. Might as well keep him for interrogation. He marked him with an orange tag just so that he could ask a few questions. Once he called the drone back, the silent soldier took aim with his sniper rifle. Once he got a clear shot, he pulled the trigger and and killed all of them. The Russian man got scared and ran but Miles took his taser and fired it at the man. Once he got the target, Miles took care of him by tying him up to a tree and started his interrogation. But before he started his interrogation, he patched Overlord through his comms.
"Overlord, this is Shadow 4. I'm gonna interrogate this prisoner see if he can give me any information related to the objective."
"Copy that Shadow 4, but you must be quick on it. Time is on the clock right now."
"Roger that."
Miles then began his interrogation.
"Итак скажите мне, где княгиня щас. (Okay tell me where the Princess is right now.)" said Miles.
"Не знаю, где она! (I don't know where she is!)" said the prisoner.
"Скажи или ты будешь итоге, как ваши друзья там. (Tell me right now or you're gonna be like your friends over there.)" Miles threatened. To prove a point, he aimed his sniper rifle at his head.
"Она в Ниппон стадиона. Вы увидите её там! (She's at Nippon Stadium. You'll find her there!)" replied the scared prisoner.
Miles then shot him on the head so that he wouldn't rattle him out. After all, dead men tell no tales.
"You read that Overlord?" asked Miles.
"Copy that. Sending coordinates right now."
Miles took a knee and waited for the coordinates to come up. He then heard Overlord tap into his comms.
"Shadow 4, this is Overlord. Coordinates should be at your AR online system right now. You should be able to navigate your way towards the stadium."
"Copy that Overlord. Be back in a few."
Miles got his NAV point on and followed the green trail leading him towards the objective. As he pressed on, he activated his camo to avoid some of the patrols going around the area. Once he accomplished that task, he stopped near a huge sewage system. He spotted a keypad over there so he decided to hack in the system there. Placing a portable hacking device, he knelt down, raising his rifle to scan for any hostiles in the area. Once the hacking was completed, the gate opened up. Miles grabbed the hacking device and went inside. The gate closed itself automatically and the whole sewage system went dark. Miles turned on his Magnetics Vision to see through the darkness. Miles followed the arrows and continued his journey. As Miles pressed forward, he spotted two Britannians just taking a smoke. Switching to his SIG MPX, he aimed towards the two soldiers and fired at them. The two dropped dead so he continued to move forward.
"Shadow 4. What's your situation over?" asked Overlord.
"Nearly there at the stadium."
"You'll need to be ready topside because the event is about to start in 10 minutes."
"Roger Overlord. What should I say to Princess Euphemia if she ever asks for my identity?"
"Tell her you're a guardian angel. That's it."
"Copy Overlord. Shadow 4 out."
Miles found the entrance towards the exit towards the sewer system so he used his hacking device to do its magic. Once the gate got hacked, he grabbed the little portable device, exit through the gate and went out. Miles reported to Overlord as he activated his cloak around stadium area.
"Overlord. This is Shadow 4. Do you copy?"
"Roger Shadow 4. What's your status over?" said Overlord.
"I'm at the stadium right now-" Miles felt something activate his Sixth Sense. It felt the same thing like the time during the raid on Mons Base, New Luna.
"Shadow 4. Do you copy? Shadow 4?"
"Overlord. I have a bad feeling about something. It feels like somebody is out there to kill her or something. Requesting permission to investigate the source over?"
"Affirmative. You're given the green light. However, be advised you must be careful out there. There are some Britannians guarding this event. The best way is to slip by unnoticed or knock them out."
"Roger that. Shadow 4 out."
Miles turned on his NAV Point on thanks to the request of alternating objectives from Overlord. Once he got his NAV pinpoint the location of Euphemia, he then pressed forward. However, thanks to Overlord's warning, he deployed his camouflaged drone and allowed it to scan most of the area. Luckily there weren't any Knightmares around the area so he bypassed the patrol with ease.
Once he did that, Miles saw what appears to be a machine of sorts. But he didn't have time to speculate it in awe. He entered the machine through the back hatch and carefully activated his cloak. He then made his way up the stairs and used his Magnetics to scan the main hallway of the area. He scanned each room carefully to make sure nobody was there. Luckily they weren't there so its alright to deactivate his cloak.
Reaching the room where the NAV point lead him, he saw that the door was open. Guess somebody must've thought that there wouldn't be any guests which is reasonable enough. He made his way towards the room quietly and with his cloak on. He moved to cover quietly as to not make any noise. Luckily the special ops soldier had a pistol with him in case of close quarters combat. Cocking the pistol, he took a knee and watched the whole thing play out.
However, to his shock, he found Zero there! The same guy who tried to access all the classified data. However, he has a hunch of what Zero or rather Lelouch, might do as he spotted Euphemia there. Taking off his mask, Miles confirmed that Zero is Lelouch alright. He just let the whole scene play out but he'll jump the gun if he ever makes a move on Euphemia.
After what felt like eternity of letting the scene play out, his Sixth Sense activated as he saw Lelouch trying to cast his so called "Geass" over her. He stood up and shot at the floor. This got the two their attention. Lelouch saw the man aiming his pistol towards him.
"So it seems that it wasn't you or I alone. How fortunate of you to come mysterious man."
Miles narrowed his eyes towards Lelouch dangerously towards him. His Sixth Sense gave him the feeling that he's about to make Euphemia do something that would be out of character.
"Mysterious man my ass Lelouch! You knew me real well ever since that failed raid." growled Miles.
"How do you know my name!?" Lelouch was shocked that he would know his real name instead of Zero.
"Let's just say, you haven't been watching your back as of recently. You should know that special ops squads are lurking in the shadows watching every move waiting to kill you when you reveal yourself out in the light. You may hide in the shadows for long but we'll get you. Make no mistake about us. You may have underestimated us IMC forces but we aren't dumbasses. Just like you we prepare well ahead of time with six or seven steps planned ahead of time. But I have to give you props for being a genius. Its probably because of your skill in chess that makes you the infamous leader of the Black Knights, Zero. Manipulative, strategic, a researcher. All these sum up of who you are. Oh and might I guess you use your Geass power to control people and do your dirty work. You can try all you want with your Geass, but its futile against us that aren't inhabitants of Earth. We from New Luna, Zodiac Colonies, and Martian Colonies aren't affected by your so called power."
"I believe this talk ends here. If my Geass can't control you then I have no choice but to eliminate you and my sister Euphie."
"It looks like I have no choice but to shoot you, damn Geass user. You are a threat to the mission so I have no choice."
Miles aimed his pistol towards his head and shot him. Lelouch smirked as he knew that bullet would never kill him, but boy was he wrong. The bullet actually started to drain his life and the two dashed away from the machine. As the two left, they went to a hiding spot that is not far away from the stadium. As Euphie regained her breath from running, she asked Miles,
"Excuse sir, but why did you kill my brother? Even if he is my half brother, he is still my sibling."
"Ma'am, a brother wouldn't do something as crazy as to trying to kill you. Believe me when I say that because I have a what you would call a Sixth Sense in me. My Sixth Sense is a life saver insurance policy of sorts. You may not believe it but I sensed something evil and malicious within your brother."
Euphemia disbelieved it for a little bit but she never said a word. After all, Euphemia met Lelouch a couple of times ever since his exile from Britannia but she knew that her brother wasn't the same anymore. If peace is to be restored, then Lelouch somehow had to be eliminated even if she didn't like it one bit.
"Must be hard on you ma'am. I'm sorry if I did that." said Miles.
"Its okay. But may I know the name of the man who saved me from my brother?" asked Euphemia.
Miles laughed a bit making Euphie pout.
"What so funny?"
"No can do Princess Li Britannia. I cannot divulge my full information since I'm part of a special ops group in the IMC forces and all data is classified. But you can call me your guardian angel."
"I'm sorry sir. I didn't know." blushed Euphemia in embarrassment.
"Its alright ma'am. But aren't you going to try and avenge your brother since he is your family after all?"
"I don't want to do that. He may be family, but I don't want to extract revenge upon the enemy because it would lead to more hatred and violence. The cycle would be unending if things were to be that way and nobody would be safe from that. I want to create the world, to have little to no conflict at all while peace reigns over people's lives."
"A nice dream to say the least but just as you know, there are some against your views ma'am."
"I've realized that but I want to try and at least give the people of Japan hope and a light from the darkness that holds its grip here."
Miles was quite surprised about her determination but he nonetheless smiled at it.
"You are an interesting person ma'am. No wonder why there are many people who love you for who you are."
"Thank you so much sir."
"No problem. Now you have to get back there before anybody starts to send out a search party. It'll be troubling if they spotted me with you ma'am. I don't think that they'll be so thrilled to see an armed man with a defenseless princess."
"Oh that's mean that you have to call me defenseless." Euphemia pouted.
Miles just chuckled at her bubbly and innocent nature.
"Ma'am. One more thing before I disappear, may I have a tiny favor from you?"
"Sure sir." said Euphemia.
"If anybody asks you how Zero died, just say that a guardian angel protected you from harm. Don't mention anything about me since I can't have Britannia track me down. The IMC and Britannia are still in war with each other. Please understand."
"Sure thing kind sir. Thank you for protecting me."
"No problem. Good luck ma'am. May your dream come to fulfillment."
Miles activated his camouflage and went to an open sewer system. There he hacked the system and went in. While he went inside, he contacted Overlord via comms.
"Overlord this is Shadow 4. Princess Euphemia Li Britannia is safe and secure. Ready for extraction."
"Roger that Shadow 4. Bird's going to get you at LZ Alpha. Get there topside."
"Copy. Shadow 4 out."
