Code Geass: The White Devil R2
Act 1: the Vermillion City
Stage 7: The Power of the Heart
Shiro POV
The Trojan-Class Battleship Carrier….. (AN: White Base from Mobile Suit Gundam.) This was the symbol of the 13th Autonomous Corps led by Captain Medea Arianna (AN:Murrue Ramius from Gundam SEED). She was a great leader on board the vessel. She always got hit on by the Lieutenant Colonel on the ship, Rodriguez Sleggar (AN: Mu La Flaga from Gundam SEED), a former smuggler of Refrain, he quitted the moment he was caught in a huge battle, using a stolen C6 Walker, one built for transportation. The Blue Knights mass-produced the C-Series Knightmare Frames, most of the C6s I saw were moving supplies and troops.
"Hey you made it!" Max said, running towards me.
"Max." I said.
"Buddy, for a second I thought I lost you." Max said as we shook hands.
After a simple chat with him, we boarded the ship and met with the captain.
"So you're the new pilots I was getting for an escort over the Archangel." we heard the Captain's voice.
She came out of the shadows and revealed herself. Her hair was a brown color, just like her eyes. Though as I looked at Max, he looked pretty distracted by her chest. I looked at what seemed to be distracting Max and I noticed nothing was wrong. What did he get so distracted over her chest for? That question was never answered as the Captain hit my head with a book. She did it to Max too.
"Ow! I wasn't looking!" Max said.
"One of these days you're as bad as Sleggar is." the captain mumbled as me and Max's Knightmare Frames were being put inside the Archangel.
"So you must be the newbies here yes?" I heard a voice.
It was Rodriguez Sleggar, the Lieutenant on the ship. He was kind of a great ace Pilot, but what kind of pilot would act like a smuggler from a sci-fi film be here?
(AN: I'm sorry if I offended any Star Wars fans in here.)
Aside from his attitude, he was a blonde haired man with purple eyes. He was a Lieutenant Colonel, I was a Major and Max was a Captain, so Max and I had to obey any order he gave us on every circumstance, any orders that came from the Captain, Major General Medea, we had to obey as well.
"So the White Devil and the Blue Death are under my command as well as the captain's command, well then this will be fun. I'll be working on my Tidus if you need me." Sleggar said as he left.
(AN: Think of it as the Hyaku-Shiki from Zeta Gundam)
The speaker activated.
"All stations, prepare for lift off in T-Minus 30 seconds. Head to your assigned posts immediately."
The last C6 Transport left the last of its supplies out and drove on out, the ship had an army of C6s with Float Units attached. The hangar door closes and I make for my quarters.
Normal POV
"Take-off in T-minus 5 seconds." the Vice Captain on the ship said.

"Take-off!" the Vice Captain said.
The Ship began to lift itself up with the help of the Float Units on the Ship. its boosters light up and thrust the ship into the night sky, making its way towards a route towards Blue Knights HQ in the Pacific Ocean, but first, they need to exit Chinese airspace first.
Mausoleum of Eighty-Eight Emperors
Normal POV
"Reinforcements aren't coming?!" Tamaki exclaimed. "What the…?!"
"Not now Tamaki. We still have the empress, Xingke, and the Shen Hu, they would not dare to shoot at us randomly." Naoto said.
"Besides, we have me and Kallen just incase, along with Lelouch's foster siblings backing us up." Kallen said.
Explosions were being heard.
"A full scale Bombardment. I should have known they would want us all dead along with the Empress." Zero said.
"Brother! Its horrible!" Nunnally exclaimed, running to her brother.
"What is it?" Zero asked his sister.
"Its Xingke! He went out in the Shen Hu! All on his own!" She exclaimed.
The Shen Hu was outside as the Ikaruga was sitting under the Mausoleum, protecting it from the bombardment. Xingke tried to explain to the Dragon Cavalry, but the High Eunuchs had a new Empress to replace Tianzi in the sense that she dies and gets buried in the Mausoleum.
"You dare to say such things!" Xingke says in anger as the Shen Hu charged to attack, but a harken came out of the sky trying to hit the Shen Hu.
It was the Tristan in its fortress mode.
"It's you isn't it?" Gino inquired. "The one that started the coup d'etat?"
"Stand aside Britannian! This concerns my country alone!" Xingke howls as he attacks the Tristan with his retractable sword.
The Tristan dodges the attack.
"Internationally speaking, this involves us since those guys are representatives of the Chinese Federation." Gino implies, deflecting Xingke's attacks. "Besides, you lost to the 2nd Marianne the Flash didn't you? Kinda wanted to tango with her myself."
The Archangel sees the skirmish from afar. The Iron Horsemen following with it.
"Captain, the Black Knights are trying to fight back." Sleggar said to Medea. "Should we help them out?"
"If we try to get involved, who knows what might happen." Medea said to Sleggar.
"But how will we be able to test out the Tidus?" Sleggar inquiries.
"Fine then Lieutenant Colonel. We'll assist the Black Knights." Medea said. "But if we lose the White Devil or the Blue Death, it's on you Sleggar."
The Archangel's hangar doors open, in one bay, the Tidus, clad in gold armor launched. The Zeta was loaded on Bay 2 while Bay 1 loaded the Star Strike.
"Max, heading out!" Max said as the Zeta flew out into combat as it switched into fortress mode.
"Shiro Tokugawa Siegfried, Star Strike, Launching!" Shiro said as the Star Strike flew into combat.
"We got reinforcements from the Blue Knights." Hinata reported.
"Wait, the Blue Knights?" Ohgi inquires.
"Yes, they brought… oh my god…." Hinata said. "They brought the White Devil along with the Blue Death, along with another experimental Knightmare frame and a Trojan Horse?"
'Shiro-kun!' Nunnally thought. "How long till they arrive?"
"About 1 minute given their distance." Hinata said.
"Then we'll hold out until they get here. Besides, not all of the Akatsuki Knightmares we brought have float units." Naoto said scratching his head.
A Beam shot hit the Tristan, shredding the left wing. The Tristan falls out of control and hits the ground. Unlucky for Gino, he landed right outside the Mausoleum entrance, which is covered by the Ikaruga.
"Crap! What do we do?!" Rai inquiries in panic.
"Can we get to him Anya?" Euphemia inquiries.
"Unless you want to be killed, no." Anya said.
"But we can't just leave him there." Suzaku said.
"Then just hope that the Black Knights are merciful to him." Anya said in a cold voice.
"That's just driving off the deep end." Rai said.
"Wait, what's that?" Suzaku mutters as he points to 3 Knightmare Frames.
The group see the Star Strike as it flew off the Zeta Strike as it changed modes.
"Karma just hates us." Rai said. "Doesn't it?"
The Clubs launch out of the ship, trying to assist the Chinese Federation, only to get halted by Engrams and Flight Enabled C6s as they launched from the Trojan Horse. The Tidus blasts a Club with its beam rifle.
"These guys are the White Knights? Even the whole military couldn't keep up with me." Sleggar said as he turned his attention to the downed Tristan. "What happen to him?"
An Akatsuki went and retrieved the Tristan. As it was happening, Gino got out of the Knightmare and ran for cover, leaving the Tristan all alone in the hands of the Black Knights. Gino clenched his fist, swearing that he will get his Tristan back, no matter the cost.
"Tamaki has the Tristan, he says it's empty." Ayame said.
"Good, last thing we need is a Knight of the Round snooping around the ship." Zero said.
The Black Knights may have the Gawain, Guren, Gekka, Vincent, Nemo, Raiden, and Siegfried, their air power is out numbered. Even with the Tristan out of the way, the Mordred, Lancelot, Lancelot Club, Guinevere, along with the new Vincent Ward and Clubs still outnumber them. Shirley's Knightmare is being upgraded with the Tristan's mechanical functions, but unless the Black Knights can ride this attack out, the Upgrade will have to be halted.
"Air power maybe limited, but we'll fight with all we have!" Todoh exclaimed as the Black Knights deploy their Flight-Enabled units.
Rolo the newly equipped VARIS Rifle mounted on the wrist aimed at a Ward and fires the first shot. A green beam slams into the Wards head, blowing it right off. Rolo fires again, the green bolt smacking into the Wards abdomen, causing it to explode.
"A wrist mounted VARIS Rifle." Lloyd said. "This could pose a problem."
"Is that all you got?!" Lucas exclaimed as he fired the Gawain's Hadron Cannons, wiping out some Clubs.
"Stand aside! I am Kyoshiro Todoh!" Todoh howls as the Zangetsu's gun turrets shred the Wards and Clubs.
The Ganymede eliminated a Club by slicing it into pieces. A Gloucester Club got behind her, but Nunnally fires a slash harken from the waist to throw the Club of balance. Nunnally fires the TERA Rifle and destroys the Club.
"Too easy." Nunnally said as a warning alarm activated. "What?"
Nunnally dodged a shot from the Guinevere's VARIS Rifle. A laser beam came, Nunnally dodged it as well.
"What was that?" Nunnally wondered.
"Still have a reason to fight?" a voice said. "Nunnally."
(Play Ace Combat 0 - Morgan)
Off to the distance, a dark purple jet was flying, the jet transforms into a Knightmare Frame. It was the Morgan.
"Cornelia-oneesama…." Nunnally said as she looked at the Purple Knightmare Frame.
"You really are just like Marianne, the moves, the way you fight, even the way you managed to outsmart the mighty Xingke, I say you actually may have surpassed her." Cornelia said inside the Morgan's cockpit.
"Now we'll see who is the best pilot." Euphemia said pointing her VARIS Rifle at the Ganymede. "We'll show you the power the Li Britannia Siblings have!"
(Play Time Crisis - Wild Dog [any version] or Ace Combat 0 - Zero)
The Morgan switched back into fortress mode and flew into the air. The Guinevere readies its Needle Blazer in its free hand. Nunnally activated her Geass and noticed that the attack method is just like the Guren and the Gekka's attack method. She tries to block it with the Blaze Luminous.
"Eat this!" Euphemia said as she thrusts the Guinevere's free arm.
The free arm is only inches away from the Ganymede's Blaze Luminous. Euphie fires the Needle Blazer. A green short range energy blast knocks the Ganymede back. The Morgan fires its VARIS Rifle at the Nemo. The Nemo dodges and fires back at the Morgan. The Morgan dodges effortlessly.
"Too fast!" Nunnally said as the Morgan flew past her at great speed.
Euphemia fires the VARIS rifle, the bolt gets blocked by the Star Strike's shield.
"Shiro-kun!" Nunnally exclaimed.
"We'll take them both on." Shiro said to Nunnally as he fired his Beam Rifle at the Morgan.
The Morgan dodges the beam shots. It comes in for a run.
"Is that all?!" Cornelia exclaimed as the Morgan's nose began to open up and fires a Particle Diffusion beam.
Shiro blocks the beam with the Absorb Shield. Euphie docks the Hadron Blaster on the Guinevere's VARIS Rifle. Before she could fire it though, the Star Strikes beam cannons turn and aim at her as they fired at her. Euphemia dodged the red bolts.
"An shield that absorbs beam attacks?" Cornelia pondered.
"Cannons that can fire from behind?" Euphemia pondered.
The Li Britannia sisters decide to engage in close combat. The Morgan switches out to its Frame mode and activates the Blaze Luminous Sword. A green blade shined on the VARIS integrated arm. The Morgan charges at the Star Strike. Euphemia gets out the Guinevere's double spear MVS. the Guinevere charges at the Ganymede.
The Star Strike fires its beam rifle. The Morgan dodges the beams while firing the vulcan installed on the head.
"Is that what the White Devil can do?!" Cornelia exclaimed as she brought the green blade down on the Star Strike.
The Star Strike dodges blade, putting its Beam Rifle away and bringing out its Beam Saber. The Strike activates its Discharge system and activates it for high speed. The armor begins to show a red light coming from the shoulders in the form of wings. Shiro charges with the Beam Saber in hand, attacking the Morgan with its great speed boost.
"So you have a higher speed now, so what?" Cornelia said as she clashed with the Star Strike.
The Star Strike moved in lightning quick speed. The Morgan dodges and blocks the Beam Saber, changing into fortress mode, revealing its miniature proximity missile launcher. It fires a barrage of missiles at the Strike.
"Incoming missiles! Firing countermeasures!" Isaac said as flares from the Strike's float unit spread out, fooling the missiles.
The missiles miss as the Strike charges forward. Meanwhile, Nunnally and Euphemia fought with blades out. They deflected each other's blows. Euphemia fires her Needle Blazer again, the green blast knocks Nunnally back again.
The Zangetsu was fighting the Lancelot. They clashed swords and deflected each other's attacks.
"Tell me Suzaku, is Euphemia the reason you fight for Britannia?" Todoh asks his former student as he deflected an attack from the Lancelot. "Is she your reason for fighting?"
'No Todoh. It's not my reason, it's just an excuse so I can finally die," Suzaku thought. 'But now I'm cursed with the mere order to live by my own comrade, who is still a friend of mine.'
"If she is your reason for fighting, would you fight with her till the end?" Todoh asks as the Siegfried comes to help Todoh by destroying a group of Wards and Clubs. "Would you pledge loyalty to her even if she was not on the side of Britannia?"
That question shocked Suzaku, for he had listen to Euphemia confessed her love to him before the battle began. The Live command activates, not forcing him to live, but to make sure he comes back alive to see Euphemia, his princess, smile once again.
"You know Todoh-sensei, I don't know." Suzaku said answering the question. "I may have pledged loyalty to Britannia, but I'm not sure if I could follow Euphemia, even if she were to switch sides, but now that I think about it, maybe, just maybe, she could be the future I may seek."
"So then you would follow her without question?" Todoh asked as the Lancelot deflected an attack from the Zangetsu's sword and the Siegfried's spinning attack.
"Well, all I can say is this," Suzaku said. "I will live, I must live, in order to see her smile in a world without war!"
The Gawain and Raiden clash with the Mordred. The Raiden fires its Maser Cannons at the Mordred. The Blaze Luminous shields of the Mordred are impenetrable.
"What is that thing made off? Mountains?" Rivalz inquirers.
"I'll handle this!" Lucas said as he fired the Gawain's Hadron Cannons at the Mordred.
The Mordred dodges and fires its Stark Hadron Cannon. The Gawain dodges the beam as it barely misses the Mausoleum. One blast could obliterate it, doing that would spark a war with the Britannian Empire and the Chinese Federation.
"The Black Knights are to be annihilated." Anya said.
"Ok seriously, is that how you sound?" Rivalz said trying to make an impression out of Anya. "Beep boop. I am a robot."
"Trash." Anya said as she fires the miniature proximity missile launcher.
"Was it something I said?!" Rivalz inquirers as he dodges and tanks the missiles.
"I have you now!" Xingke said as he goes in to strike the Mordred from the rear.
A slash harken knocks the Shen Hu's retractable sword. It was the Lancelot Club.
"Not today pal!" Rai said as he equipped the Hadron Blaster and fired at the Shen Hu.
The Shen Hu counters with its Bayron Cannon. The black and yellow beams collide. Back with the Ganymede and the Guinevere duel, the Guinevere and Ganymede were equally matched, even when their pilots are at their best, it is a stalemate.
"Euphie, why do you fight?" Nunnally asks. "Why must you fight? Even if the person you fight is me or any of our siblings?"
"Because if I am going to prove just how strong I am for my beliefs, then I will fight for what I believe is right." Euphemia answers.
The sisters clash once again. Their swords sending sparks flying as they kept deflecting their attacks. Nunnally connects her spinal cord to 3 metal connectors, she is linked with the Knightmare. This can be consequential since anything that happens to the Ganymede also happens to Nunnally, that is the power of a neural link. The neural link allows Nunnally to reach peak performance with her Knightmare that her sync ratio can rocket up to higher than 100% if possible, bringing out her full potential.
"Nunnally's sync ratio is rising." Hinata reports. "What in the-?"
"What is it?" Zero asked.
"Her sync ratio… its." Hinata said as her eyes widened. "Her sync ratio is going far beyond 100%! 150, 200, 250, she's reached 300%!"
'300%?! There's no way she could do that, unless she is using the Neural Link system in the Siegfried that we copied off of.' Zero thought.
'How is she capable of these kinds of things?' Euphemia thought as the Nemo began to move and leave phantoms and after-images.
Inside the cockpit of the Nemo, Nunnally's eyes have red rings that sort of look like that of the effects of Geass in her eyes, this was because she was connecting her Nervous System with the Neural Link. her rising sync ratio could be because of love and admiration to Shiro, above her love for her brother, her friends, and her mother.
The Guinevere tried to catch up with the Nemo but still kept taking hits one after the other.
"I'll keep fighting! And one day. One day…." Nunnally said as she began to think of the time Shiro restored her legs and eyes, the time they spent together, and the times they fought on the field of battle. "One day, me and Shiro will be together! We'll live out our lives no matter the hardships that come! I will be with Shiro no matter what!"
The Ganymede's right hand suddenly turns red as Nunnally withdraws the MVS swords. Red wings appear to come out in the form of light coming from it's shoulders and pointing to the rear. The charges with the red glowing hand.
"Take this! The power of my love for my friends! My family! And the one I love!" Nunnally exclaims as she thrusts the glowing hand forward.
Euphemia thrusts the Guinevere's claw hand, attempting to fire the Needle Blazer. The Needle Blazer fires, but it does not stop the glowing red hand from approaching. The red hand goes through and smashes the left arm and grabs its face. The Nemo's red hand crushes it, forcing Euphemia to eject as the Knightmare's head exploded.
The Nemo returns to normal as Nunnally disconnects from the connectors, panting from the exhaustion of her energy.
'I did it Shiro-kun. Please…. Be there for me always…..' Nunnally thought as she lost consciousness.
The Vincent goes to bring the Ganymede out of the combat zone.
"You did well Nunna." Rolo said as he carried the Knightmare back to the Ikaruga.
The Gekka attacks the Avalon's bridge, shoving its hand inside the bridge. Naoto gets out of the Gekka and gets inside the ship. He brings out his gun and shoots a few soldiers and guns down Kanon. He knocks Schneizel out and knocks out Lloyd and Cecile as well. He goes and takes a data knife he got from Shiro as a present and sticked it into a computer.
"Now lets see what we got." Naoto said as he looked at the files and found a file that said 'Energy Wings'.
"Energy wings? This could be important." Naoto says as he extracts the file. "Well, sayonara Britannians." Naoto said as he got back in the Gekka and got away from the Avalon.
The Gekka flies back to the Ikaruga to resupply. Naoto wondered what these energy wings were about, he would later find out as soon as possible.
"So you really are surrendering?" Zhao Hao said. "Too late now."
"So you insist on fighting?" Zero inquires. "Even if the Empress dies in the assault."
Xianglin looks at the High Eunuchs for their answer.
"The Empress is merely a system." Zhao Hao said.
"She could easily be replaced with anyone." Xia Wang added.
"So she isn't even a bargaining chip worth using." Cheng Zhong said.
"Yet you used her to become Noblemen for the Britannian court." Zero said.
Xingke fires the Baryon Cannon while the Club fires its Hadron Blaster. The beams collide once again.
Zhao Hao chuckled. "You have sharp ears don't you?"
"A cheap price to pay for power." Xia Wang said.
"Cheap!" Zero commented. "A phony treaty where Britannia gains all of China's land?"
The Star Strike and Morgan clash their swords once again.
"Land is nothing but dirt after all." Zhao Hao said.
"That's right." Xia Wang said. "We're noblemen now, that's all that matters."
"Then what about the people you swore to protect?!" Zero pressed.
The Tidus shoots down a Ward. another one comes from behind Sleggar. A beam shot destroys the Ward. it was the Zeta Strike.
"Tell me Zero, when you walk down the street, do you worry about stepping on the ants?" Zhao Hao said.
An Akatsuki fires a Radiant Wave Unit at a Ward, causing it to explode.
"You sell out your country, you abandon your Empress, and for what?" Zero said.
Xia Wang scoffed. "An Idealist is all that you are. You really are naive Zero."
"Masters and commoners will always breed." Zhao Hao said.
"Like Insects." Cheng Zhong added.
The three Eunuchs laughed.
Explosions sounded on the Ikaruga as it shook even more.
"Radiant Wave Shield generators 2 and 5 went offline!" Futaba glanced at Ohgi.
"That leaves the deck exposed!" Ohgi exclaims.
On the deck of the Ikaruga, Tianzi comes out and sees the chaos.
"This is wrong. All of it! All of it! Just stop it already!" Tianzi exclaimed.
"Do it now." Zhao Hao said. "Eliminate the Empress."
"We hear and obey." a chinese soldier said.
"Shen Hu, please, take my life if you must but please let the Empress live!" Xingke said as the Shen Hu uses its harkens to act as a shield to protect Tianzi by spinning them really fast.
"Xingke!" Tianzi exclaimed.
"You made it to the outside world." Xingke said as he protected the Empress. "You still have much to see."
"Intensify the attack." Zhao Hao said.
"Please, someone, anyone, save her!" Xingke said.
Suddenly, a white flash of lightning came and destroyed a line of Gun-Rus in mere seconds.
"What in the world was that?" Zhao Hao inquired.
"Hey, what's that on top of the Mausoleum?" Xia Wong asked as he noticed a black figure on top of the Mausoleum.
The figured appeared to look like a Knightmare, only, it had no cockpit, and it just floats there, and it looked like a fish of some sort only without a mouth. And it had a white crystal-like eye that shines brightly and gazes upon all below it.
(AN: Its Theosyion from Destiny, I really can't tell if it looks like a fish or not. No I really need help with this.)
