I don't own Code Geass.
...
Two trucks containing Lelouch's men raced through the Brittanian settlement. In the first truck Villetta was explaining the plan of rescuing the overwhelmed rebel forces from clutches of Clovis' armed forces. In the second one Jeremiah, Suzaku and Lelouch were checking their Knightmares. Lelouch wore his Zero suit while his two knights had their modified black knights uniforms.
"Suzaku, you're going to intercept the train while I contact the rebels and take back the poison gas, Jeremiah your with me." Lelouch gave out his orders while checking his KMF one last time.
"Yes, your Majesty." They both exclaimed while straightening and making a Britannian salute.
"If I may ask, what are we going to do with the cargo our ally of circumstance had taken from Clovis, your Highness?" Suzaku asked.
"We will broadcast a transmission on all the TV lines explaining what he was going to do with it, after that we will reveal that we killed him and I will give the 'Knights of justice' speech." Answered the prince, not looking up from his KMF's control panel.
"And what if we will not be able to kill Clovis?"
"I really doubt that it will come to this, but if what you say happens...Then we can blow up the whole G-1 with overwriting self destruct command." Said Lelouch as he pointed at the panel attached to his wrist.
"There is another question I would like to ask, your highness."
"What is it, Jeremiah?" Spoke his lord, raising an eyebrow.
"You told the rest of our Britannian soldiers to cover their faces, but you didn't do such a thing for me and Villetta. Why is that?"
"Ah, well you see, it will show the rebels that not only Japanese can fight for Japan, and not all the Britannians are against them." He gave the answer with a small smile.
"I see, very wise of you, my lord." Said the knight, with eyes overflowing with loyalty, Like always.
...
Kallen booted up her knightmare and prepared for combat. Her cell stole a poison gas from the prince and now she and her comrade Nagata were running from the chasing Britannians while the rest of their group were preparing the defense positions. She shot one of her slash harkens at the chasing VTOLs destroying it completly.
"I just hope they won't have any knightmares on standby."
As if to answer her concerns, a knightmare transport flew up behind them.
"I counted my chickens before they hatched, didn't I?"
The pilot of the Sutherland was talking with his superiority complex, not looking at his opponent. Kallen realizing that he didn't even take her for a threat, showered him in bullets destroying his frame instantly.
" What a complete idiot, he got himself killed, just because he was arrogant."
The purist faction may have been bolder as they were crushing the resistance, but as the time was passing by, they didn't have a challenge with any competent knightmare pilot. Becouse of that when one appeared they got themselves killed in seconds.
Kallen piloted her knightmare after the truck. After some time they were in the old metro tunnels. They finally reached their resistance group hideout. The problem was that it was full of Britannian special forces. Kallen wanted to kill them, but exactly in this moment her knightmare lost the rest of its energy.
They stared at each other for a while, until one of the Britannians took out a rocket launcher.
"Are we...going to die like this?"
Apparently no, from behind a turn run out another squad of armed men. They were wearing black uniforms and purple face panels. Without any questions they opened fire and killed all of the Britannian special squad.
"...What..."
It happened so fast she didn't even have the time to think on the situation. Two men with medical symbols on their uniforms run to the truck and dragged out the driver. Kallen didn't notice how but apparently, he was injured.
A woman with a dark complexion, and the only one who didn't cover her face walked up to her frame. She was wearing something that looked like a officer version of the uniforms the rest wore.
"Pilot, the secondary functions of your Knightmare should be still working, are you able to get out?"
She spoke in Japanese, what surprised the young resistance fighter, because she looked Britannian. She didn't respond verbaly, instead she left her cockpit and rode a line to the ground.
She was conflicted, they killed the soldiers but their commander looked Britannian. In the confusion she started to raise her hands up in a gesture of surrender, but the woman stopped her.
"Who are you people, did you steal the gas from the prince?"
Kallen just nodded, she was totally lost.
"What is going on here, who are they, what side are they on?"
Those and many other questions run through her head.
"Well, if that is the case then we are on the same side."
Before she had a chance to answer, the woman raised her hand to her ear and started speaking. Kallen assumed she was using a radio and talking to her superior.
"Zero-sama, we have secured the poison gas and two members of the resistance, one of them is injured and the second one from the looks of it is a KMF pilot. ... A modified Glasgow, but it looks like the energy filler is out. ... Yes, Grandmaster. "
With that, she turned back to Kallen and spoke:
"One of my lords advisors will be here in a few minutes, when he comes we will have your frame recharged and then you will contact your leader, is that clear?"
"Just...one question...ma'am, . "
Villetta raised one eyebrow and asked:
"What is it, soldier?"
"Who are you people."
The woman smiled, what confused Kallen.
"We are The Order Of The Black Knights, under the command of supreme grandmaster Zero."
-With Lelouch-
Lelouch and his knights advanced on the mobile base Clovis was using as his HQ on this battlefield. They used two Burai and a Sutherland command type. They had better frames, of course, but there was a risk of showing that they are not just a normal resistance group, so Lelouch decided to stick with the old models.
"Suzaku this is your stop, wait for the train here."
"Yes, my lord."
Lelouch looked around. There were destroyed buildings everywhere and corpses lying on the ground in large puddles of blood. He might have been disgusted with the actions of the purist faction, but it just empowered his resolve.
"I will create a gentler word, for my family."
As they advanced, they finally found two KMFs on patrol. The Britannian pilots didn't even had a chance to speak before Lelouch ordered Jeremiach to fire following suit seconds later.
"It's an open game Jeremiah, I don't think that Clovis realized anything yet but from now on we have to be careful."
Suddenly, Lelouch's phone rang.
"Yes?"
"Your Highness, I armed the rebels and we are cleaning the ghetto of the Purist scum."
"Very well, Suzaku, continue the advance I and Jeremiah will get the retreat order from Clovis soon."
Not awaiting his knights reply he hang up and informed Jeremiah of the news. After some time they reached the G-1. Lelouch quickly geassed all the guards. He ordered Jeremiah to execute all the officers and after geassing Clovis he put a bullet in his head. Lelouch made sure not to show his or his knight's face, knowing about the thought elevators V.V. could obtain the knowledge that he was involved.
The order retreated, leaving the civilians in the care of the resistance cell. He of course told Suzaku to contact them later. With that they left for the Ashford academy to prepare for broadcasting of zero's speech.
