Chapter 11: Gathering Forces Part 2
In Elball Villa…
Suzaku was scowled by Gino, Nonette, Dorothea and Monica for previously trying to kill Emperor Charles himself.
"Just what on Earth were you thinking, Suzaku?"Monica retorted. "Killing Emperor Charles just so you can be rewarded the title as Knight of One by Prince Schneizel?"
"I know I messed up."Suzaku replied with a frown. "I only want to become the Knight of One, so that peace will finally be restored when I control Japan."
Nonette frowned at Suzaku's declaration.
"You seriously believe you can beat Bismarck and become the Knight of One?"Nonette scoffed.
"I doubt you'll have the chance to come out alive."Monica commented.
"We'll see."Suzaku said bluntly.
"So we're really going to fight the Black Knights?"Gino asked. "Even though Anya's with them?"
A scowl escaped from Dorothea's mouth at the mention of the former Knight of Six.
"Don't bother mentioning that girl."Dorothea replied. "The Knight of Six is nothing more but a traitor, who gave up her position to serve our new Emperor to band up with Emperor Charles' murderers and those meddling Elevens. She brought nothing, but dishonour to the Knights of the Round."
Gino looked down and didn't say anything.
"Anya, what on earth are you thinking? Abandoning your status as the Knight of Six, just so you can join the Black Knights to fight Britannia."Gino thought. "Why do I feel like there something else behind your choice?"
In the Ikaruga…
Sabrina stood next to Lelouch, Nunnally and Jeremiah in the docking bay as they watched the Granberry arrive near the Ikaruga.
Soon after the Granberry arrived and the ramp lowered causing Marrybell to come out followed by Oldrin.
Sabrina looked at Marrybell.
Marrybell had spanish pink hair that was kept in a ponytail and violet eyes. She wore a low-cut pink dress with red and black details with gold-ish lining and what appears to be white wings attached to the back.
"She looks really cool."Sabrina thought with a small smile. "Let's hope she will actually be a good aunt in the future like Aunt Nunna."
"Hi, Marrybell."Lelouch greeted. "It's so good-"
Marrybell gives Lelouch an affectionate hug before doing the same thing to Nunnally.
"Aw! I'm so happy to see you both fine, Lulu and Nunna!"Marrybell remarked joyfully. "I thought I would never see you again!"
"It's been a long time, Marrybell."Lelouch commented.
Nunnally nodded in agreement.
"Nunna, when did you recover your eyes?"Marrybell asked in surprise, glancing at the sandy brown haired girl. "I thought you wouldn't see again after your mother was killed."
The smile on Nunnally's face shrunk a bit at the mention of her mother.
"I recovered my eyesight thanks to Lord Jeremiah, Sister Marrybell."Nunnally explained.
Jeremiah smiled. "Anything for you, my lady."
Oldrin cleared her throat to get Marrybell and the others' attention.
"Princess Marrybell."Oldrin said.
"Oh, right!"Marrybell replied and introduced her knight to her half-siblings and their companions. "This is Oldrin Zevon. She is the head knight of my Glinda Knights."
Oldrin gives a bow to Lelouch and Nunnally.
"Nice to meet you, Prince Lelouch and Princess Nunnally vi Britannia."Oldrin responded.
"No need to formal with us, Oldrin."Lelouch commented. "We're no longer part of royalty anymore."
"You can just call us, Lelouch and Nunnally."Nunnally insisted.
"As you wish."Oldrin replied.
The vi siblings and their companions went to have a conversation with Marrybell and Oldrin to tell them what was going on in. In addition, Sabrina revealed to them who she was including the unfortunate events that were supposed to happen.
"EH?!"Marrybell shrieked in disbelief. "This girl is your future daughter?!"
Small blushes appeared on Lelouch and Kallen's cheeks.
"Yeah."Lelouch responded.
"Shocking, but true."Kallen commented.
"I'm actually your niece, Aunt Marrybell."Sabrina replied. "We've never met before since you perished in the Pendragon with the rest of the royal family. So, I'm glad to finally meet you."
Marrybell shook hands with Sabrina after overcoming from her shock.
"It's nice to meet you too, Sabrina."Marrybell answered.
"Who knew time travel would actually exist."Oldrin commented.
"Lelouch. I understand you role in becoming Zero was just to find out who killed your mother and make the world a better place for Nunnally. Though, I find it shock upon learning the true nature of our father and Lady Marianne."Marrybell said firmly. "But was it necessary to have Clovis and Euphemia…"
Lelouch closed his eyes.
"I killed Clovis and Euphemia, but I deeply regret it. For that, I'm truly sorry."Lelouch apologised and opened his eyes. "That is why I've come up with a plan to bring Euphemia back. Sabrina has agreed to go back in time to save her and prevent the special zone from becoming a massacre."
Marrybell looked at Sabrina.
"Sabrina?"Marrybell said.
"Yes, it's true."Sabrina replied with a nod. "I've agreed to save Euphemia and clear her name from being called the massacre princess."
"Are you sure this plan will work?"Oldrin asked. "Even though, Euphemia will be saved. There is a possible chance that the previous Emperor will find another way to sabotage the special zone?"
"I know, but this is far better than having Euphemia being seen as a monster."Lelouch stated.
Nunnally looked at Marrybell.
"Sister Marrybell, do you still want to help us?"Nunnally asked.
"Of course, Nunna."Marrybell answered with a smile. "Despite upon learning what has happened and what could've been, I'm still willing to help you. We are family."
"So am I."Oldrin sneered. "I won't stand by and allow a psycho destroy the world."
Lelouch and Nunnally smiled at Marrybell and Oldrin.
"Thank you."Lelouch thanked.
In Pendragon…
Odysseus, Carine and Guinevere were speaking together about having Schneizel as their new Emperor.
"Something doesn't feel right about all this."Guinevere commented.
"I know, big sister."Carine agreed and glanced at Odysseus. "Odysseus you should've been next line, you are the first prince."
"I'm aware of that, Carine."Odysseus commented. "Though I still believe Schneizel will make a peaceful era than our father did."
Suddenly a Britannian officer rushed into the room and bowed at the three royal siblings.
"I apologise for interrupting, Your Majesty."the Britannian Officer apologised as a bit of sweat emerged from his forehead. "But there's been an incident."
In the Ikaruga…
Lelouch and the Black Knights were speaking with Marrybell of the problem at hand.
Leila Malcal was on contact through one of the screens after getting Sabrina's warning.
Leila was a very beautiful girl of average height and had light purple eyes. Her light blonde hair was very long, she had bangs which reach her eyes with two locks framing her face, from behind her hair reached the small of her back and she also had two egg shaped buns that were held up with gold coloured braces. She wore her usual military uniform.
"It will end war alright, by making every single citizen of this world cower in fear of an abomination that killed twenty five million people. Britannians and Japanese, soldier and civilian, kids and elders."Lelouch commented. "And that is not all, his ambition goes further. According to documents that some researchers left behind, he ordered the construction of a moving base, one that can reach every single point on the planet and fire this monstrosity on whoever disagree with him."
"But that would mean…"Marrybell started.
"Exactly, Terrorism."Lelouch answered. "He may use kind words to say it is for peace, but how many millions of people will die under that pretense?"
"Which is why it's important that Schneizel must be defeated immediately, so that no more lives will be lost."Sabrina commented and glanced at Leila. "Leila, are you and your crew on your way?"
"Yes, Sabrina."Leila replied with a nod. "After hearing your warning, I now know this new Emperor is twice as obnoxious than the last one. We'll talk more once me and my companions arrive to your location."
Leila ended the call, just as an alarm suddenly went on in the Ikaruga.
"What's going on?"Rakshata asked.
Hinata, Minase and Ayame typed in a couple of times in their keyboards, only for the three of them to become shocked of the report before them.
"One of the cities of Britannia, Tamium has been destroyed!"Minase gasped.
"Emperor Schneizel has began assault!"Hinata added.
The monitor screen showed the huge crater that used to be the Britannian city Tamium, where a research institute was located as well as a military base was located as well.
The people in the command room were stunned at what they saw, an entire city gone instantly.
"Oh my gosh."Anya murmured with a hint of horror.
"Tamium, it's gone."Nunnally said sadly.
"I heard there were many people supporting UFN movement there."Kaguya stated.
Sabrina gritted his teeth in anger, knowing immediately who was responsible for this destruction.
Jeremiah looked at Lelouch.
"My Lord, it is how you predicted."Jeremiah said. "A F.L.E.I.J.A warhead has struck and destroyed a city."
"He decided to act now."Lelouch muttered.
"There is something else."Ayame complemented. "Look."
The screen switched to a visual of the sky and there in the sky was something floating above the crater that used to be Tamium.
"What is that?"Sugiyama asked.
"Lelouch, could that be-"Kallen started.
Lelouch narrowed his eyes. "Yes, it's the Sky Fortress Damocles."
There was huge reports flying around about the news of the Britannian city known as Tamium being destroyed.
Inside the Sky Fortress Damocles…
Bismarck had a dark smile as he stared at the destroyed empty area that was once the beautiful and grand city known as Tamium.
"Emperor Charles and Lady Marianne, your goals have been foiled from the very offsprings that you brought in this world."Bismarck thought evilly. "But don't worry. I'll eliminate those that have exposed you as Emperor Schneizel wants. Especially that quarter-eleven pest that you both would've refused to recognise as your grandchild."
In the peaceful-looking garden of Damocles, a young female figure held the Damocles key in her hands.
She sat on the stairs, but the camera didn't reveal her face.
In the Ikaruga…
A transmission of an open channel opened and Schneizel appeared on the screen, sitting on his throne chair in Merlin.
"Greetings, Lelouch."Schneizel greeted with a smirk.
"Schneizel, I knew you were behind this."Lelouch scowled.
"Lelouch, I have collected all the F.L.E.I.J.A. warheads and I'm prepared to use them against you and the Black Knights."Schneizel informed.
"That's a moot point since none of us here don't recognize you as emperor."Lelouch retorted.
"Is that so?"Schneizel asked."So you're willing to point your arrows at the Britannian Emperor?"
"You are no Emperor, Schneizel."Nunnally declared with a glare. "You only see people as pawns and get rid of them like they were nothing. Whether they're Britannians or not."
"The destruction that I've caused is necessary, Nunnally."Schneizel declared bluntly. "Did you foolishly expected me to send a warning and give enough time for the people to leave the city?"
Nunnally paled at her half-brother's disturbing question while the Black Knights glared at the tyrant before them.
"Emperor Charles may have been a mad man, but you're no different from he is."Xingke retorted.
"You are despicable!"Chiba snapped.
"Disgusting."Tohdoh muttered.
"Though I now sit on the throne, I assume none of you intend to accept my ideals?"Schneizel assumed.
Sabrina glared at Schneizel.
"Why?"Sabrina questioned in a cold tone. "Were you expecting us to bow and surrender to you?"
A evil smirk sprung on Schneizel's face.
"You misunderstand, Sabrina."Schneizel admitted. "I'm not accepting surrenders at this time. I want you to know failure, utter defeat and that it is I who delivers it crashing down upon you."
Sabrina gives the 99th Emperor a hateful glare.
"Schneizel, you destroyed Tamium. A Britannian City."Marrybell replied, her voice mixed with anger and disgust. "There were our own people among them."
"Marrybell, you've decided to join our traitorous siblings and their band of rebels?"Schneizel asked with a fake sad smile.
"Don't you dare call Lelouch and Nunnally the traitorous ones, Schneizel."Marrybell commented. "You intend to kill countless amount of people, just so you can hold and rule the world filled with a grip of fear. You are the real monster here."
"Then I'm afraid I must dispose you and your Glinda Knights."Schneizel admitted slightly. "Now, let us proceed."
Then the transmission ended as the command room was now in silence.
C.C gripped her cheese-kun as she sat on one of the chairs.
"Lelouch-"C.C started.
"We're not backing down."Lelouch declared and looked at the others. "But if any of you don't feel like fighting, now is your chance to leave."
To Lelouch's surprise, no one left the command room.
They were all going to fight.
"No way, buddy."Tamaki remarked. "We aren't backing down."
"You are the Man of Miracles and the Leader of the Black Knights."Sugiyama complemented. "Our leader. Zero. The true Zero."
"You are also Japan's saviour, Lelouch."Kaguya chuckled.
"We are going to follow you to the very end."Kallen replied with a lovingly smile.
"The same with me."Sabrina remarked.
Nunnally nodded. "Me too, big brother."
Lelouch gives a grateful smile to the people around him before looking back at the sky view that will soon be a war zone.
In the Sky…
Leila, Akito and the rest of the W-0 squad were on a private European ship, travelling to Japan to get to the location of the Ikaruga.
Yukiya was looking at information in his iPad on the latest news in Britannia.
"A Britannian called Tamium and it's civilians had all entirely been destroyed by a weapon called F.L.E.I.J.A."Yukiya declared.
This caused Akito, Ryo and Ayano to become stunned by the news.
"What?"Ryo asked in disbelief. "Seriously?"
"Damn the Britannians."Ayano retorted. "Every ruler they get is never better than the last one."
Akito glanced at Leila.
"Hey, Commander Leila."Akito spoke up, earning his girlfriend's attention. "Do you think teaming up with Zero and the Black Knights is a good idea?"
Leila gives a smile to her boyfriend.
"Despite the actions they took, they are the Knights of Justice as they said."Leila commented. "And you all said you always wanted to go to Japan when the war ends, right?"
A smug smile sprung on Akito's face.
"Of course, my Leila."Akito replied.
A little blush appeared on Leila's face.
Meanwhile…
Schneizel returned back to Pendragon and was discussing things with Cornelia, Carine, Odysseus and Guinevere.
"Yes, it true."Schneizel replied."I really did targeted Tamium with the people there."
This surprised the members of the royal family in the room.
"Then, the people there are really-"Cornelia started.
"I had them all vanished."Schneizel said bluntly.
This disturbed Odysseus and Cornelia while Guinevere and Carine just looked on.
"Schneizel, was that really necessary?"Odysseus asked with a startled look. "How could you do this?"
"They were our people."Cornelia stated.
"It was necessary."Schneizel replied neutrally. "Besides, isn't better to be rid of all those loyal to Lelouch and Nunnally?"
"Yes, I agree."Carine remarked gleefully.
"It's the price they pay for not going against those wanna be heroes and their rebel scum."Guinevere commented.
"Is this how you manipulate people Schneizel?"Cornelia asked.
Carine and Guinevere looked at Cornelia with annoyed looks, thinking why the Goddess of Victory should care what other people want.
"What do the people wish for?"Schneizel asked while glancing at Cornelia. "Starvation and poverty. Discrimination and corruption. War and terrorism. While hoping to rid the world of all its problems, people still hopelessly fail to get along. Thus-"
"I understand your ideals."Cornelia interrupted. "But involving civilians-"
"Even the civilians that reject war rely on the police, don't they?"Schneizel questioned. "We all know that crime can't be stopped. That we can't reject people's desires. Thus we don't need a heart or principles. Shouldn't we realize peace with system and power?"
Schneizel then activated the screen that showed the plan of Damocles' movement.
"In ten days, Damocles will enter the United States of China airspace and second stage of acceleration."Schneizel exclaimed. "Then we're set to ascend 300km off the ground. And from that position, we'll launch F.L.E.I.J.A. warheads on all countries waging war."
"Schneizel. What you are planning to do won't bring true peace."Odysseus argued. "You're doing only through the threat of annihilation."
A frown appeared on Schneizel's face.
"Peace is just an illusion. Fighting is part of mankind's history."Schneizel admitted bluntly. "To make an illusion a reality, don't you need a little discipline?"
"Are you planning to discipline all of mankind?!"Cornelia said in shock. "Only God is allowed to do such a thing!"
"Then I'll become God."Schneizel declared and it earned gasps from everyone in the room. "If people want peace from me. That is since I'm their Emperor."
"Schneizel, you-"Cornelia started.
Then Kanon and Bismarck came into the room.
"Outstanding, Your Majesty."Bismarck sneered. "That way no one will ever dare to oppose you."
"As soon as the Black Knights have all been perished that is."Kanon agreed.
Carine clapped in delight at the thought of Lelouch and Nunnally's demise.
"Those commoners will become so shocked and neither of those low lives won't know what hit them!"Carine sneered in cruel joy.
Odysseus frowned. "Carine, Lelouch and Nunnally are our siblings."
"They killed our Emperor, Odysseus. Our own father."Guinevere reminded with a frown. "The Lelouch and Nunnally that we knew eight years ago before are dead. So, they and the Black Knights must pay."
Odysseus brought his attention back on his younger brother.
"Schneizel, you can't go on with this plan to use the F.L.E.I.A. to target cities and nations."Odysseus commented. "You'll destroy everything that our homeland has stood for and make the world see you as a tyrant."
"Odysseus, it's a method that will have small casualties."Schneizel remarked. "Even if it's one or two billion lives are lost, an everlasting peace-"
"You're wrong!"Cornelia shouted as she drew her sword, which made Schneizel to look at her. "An enforced peace isn't-"
Cornelia was stopped in her tracks as she was charging at Schneizel, when the 99th Emperor of Britannia snapped his fingers and suddenly a gun came out from the wall to shoot the purple haired princess down.
This caused the 2nd Princess of Britannia to fall on the ground, stunning Odysseus, Guinevere and Carine.
Kanon was surprised as well while Bismarck had an unfazed look on his face.
"What a shame, Cornelia."Schneizel retorted with a fake pitiful expression.
Odysseus ran to Cornelia's side and bent down to check on her.
"Cornelia!"Odysseus gasped and glared at Schneizel. "What have you done?"
"She gave me no choice, big brother."Schneizel responded simply and gave the 1st Prince a slight glare. "But if you plan to get in the way as well Odysseus, then I'll have to dispose you too."
Odysseus looked at Schneizel with a horrified look, finally seeing the psycho he really was.
Schneizel looked at Bismarck.
"Bismarck, are you and the Knights of the Round ready for the next phase?"Schneizel asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty."Bismarck replied with a bow. "We are ready to proceed."
Carine smiled brightly at Schneizel.
"With you operating Damocles and using the F.L.E.I.J.A, the world will know the unimaginable power that our family hold, Brother Schneizel."Carine remarked. "All those who oppose us will bow before us and of course those filthy insects, who don't fear us will end up cowering at our approach. Just like Lelouch, Nunnally, Marrybell and the rest of their lapdogs."
Schneizel smirked evilly. "You can say that, Carine."
The numbers are gather for the upcoming war, one side has the Black Knights led by Lelouch and the other side the Britannian army led by Emperor Schneizel. Sabrina, on the other hand, will go to the past to try and change a moment in history that is known as the S.A.Z massacre. But will she succeed? See you all in the next chapter!
