Disclaimer: I don't own Code Geass.
Battle in Narita Part One
CC just looked at Lelouch as he went to his Knightmare Frame.
"Quite frankly," Lelouch said, "I see no point in continuing with this any further."
"Lelouch?" CC spoke with a raised eyebrow, "Lelouch, what are you saying exactly?"
Lelouch just looked at CC.
"I'm going to let you know this CC," Lelouch said, "I have no intention to granting your wish."
CC was stunned but was not going to back down.
"Lelouch, you can't," CC said, "you and I are under contract," CC narrowed her eyes at Lelouch, "I won't allow you to just back out of it."
"I have no intention on being your tool to dump your immortality on," Lelouch said.
"I told you before Lelouch," CC said, "the power of Geass will force you to live life of solitude and let me warn you, if you really decided to cut ties, I can't guarantee your safety."
"It's not like you could ever really guarantee my safety anyway," Lelouch pointed out, "CC, I think it's time for you to leave right now."
"You're making a mistake Lelouch," CC said.
"So far, the mistake I'm seeing is that I believed that I could trust you," Lelouch replied and he glared, "for all I know, you could be conversing with my enemies right now or…maybe you're conversing with my father or maybe this VV person."
CC flinched and looked away.
"Look, you don't even deny it," Lelouch pointed out.
CC was shocked and shook her head, "Wait, I—"
"Are you?" Lelouch asked, "Are you conversing with the Code Bearer named VV?"
CC opened her mouth but words did now come out of it.
"Tch, it's true, isn't it?" Lelouch asked upset.
"I didn't…" CC spoke but stopped herself and looked away from Lelouch's gaze.
"And you keep going on and on about the contract," Lelouch said with venom, "it seems the way I see it, you're the one who already broke the contract or maybe this contract is not really much in the first place."
"I won't cause you any trouble Lelouch," CC insisted, "I will protect you. It's part of the condition of the contract, for me granting you your Geass power."
Lelouch shook his head, "I'd say you're lying. CC, I want you to leave right now," Lelouch turned around, "if you think you can make a fool out of me then you're seriously mistaken."
"Lelouch, listen to me," CC insisted.
"Sayoko," Lelouch spoke, "Jinta."
CC's arm was suddenly grabbed and CC was surprised to see Sayoko who seemed to appear out of nowhere and Jinta appeared next to Sayoko.
"Master Lelouch," Sayoko said.
"You called?" Jinta asked.
"Get her out of my sight," Lelouch ordered.
"Understood," Jinta said.
"As you wish," Sayoko said.
"Let go of me," CC said, "right now."
"Miss CC, it's time for you to leave," Sayoko said.
Sayoko dragged CC away with Jinta following them and CC was upset with what was happening as she called Lelouch. Lelouch ignored CC as he put his mask on and climbed up on his Lionel. As CC was being dragged away by the Japanese maid, she was hearing the voice of VV speaking to her and CC was not pleased and didn't reply to him. Meanwhile at the G-1 Mobile Base, Cornelia was in her Gloucester Knightmare Frame and her forces were ready to begin the operation to wipe out the Japan Liberation Front.
"Viceroy, all units are in position," A soldier reported through intercom.
"Understood," Cornelia responded, "Euphemia will provide logistical support from G-1 as planned. Have her command the medical troops."
"Yes Your Highness," The soldier replied.
"Princess Cornelia," Guilford contacted.
"Let me guess Guilford," Cornelia responded, "it's about Euphie, correct?"
"Yes," Guilford replied, "she really should be back in the bureau with Lady Enneagram."
"I know but she's being so stubborn about it," Cornelia said with a sigh, "saying that she wanted to see actual combat and not remain ignorant as she put it."
"The way she's going on about it," Guilford said, "it reminds me of how she desperately wanted to learn to pilot a Knightmare back in Pendragon."
"Yes, she just kept going and going," Cornelia recalled, "and of course with how she was so determined and would not let go, I eventually gave in."
"You Highness, do you think that it may have something to do with—"
"I don't know," Cornelia interjected, "maybe that is the case but…" Cornelia thought about her younger half brother Lelouch and the times he was training under his mother and two of the Knights of the Round and she had a sad expression, "what good does it do to chase after a ghost?"
"Milady," Guilford spoke with concern in his tone.
"Don't mind me Guilford, I'm all right," Cornelia assured.
"Yes well, I want to assure you that I'm here for you," Guilford assured.
"Yes I know," Cornelia replied with a smile, "thank you Guilford."
Meanwhile, Euphie was looking over the map of Narita and all the units that were placed. She was looking over them with member of Cornelia's staff officers. Euphie noticed a particular unit.
"Wait, that unit there that is holding to the rear," Euphie said, "Is that…?"
"Yes, the reserve unit with that Eleven pilot," One of the staff officers answered.
"Oh, so that's the Lancelot there," Euphie replied.
"Yes and as you know Your Highness, normally Elevens wouldn't be allowed to pilot Knightmares," Another staff officer explained, "however though, that particular unit is an exception."
"Yes I know," Euphie said, "my brother, Second Prince Schneizel is the patron after all."
"Yes and as a result, we have no say on their personal selection," Another staff officer said, "although he said that he wanted him have as many combat experience as possible."
"Suzaku…" Euphie said in her head.
Meanwhile within the city at the base of mountains, a man in a suit who wore glasses was walking by and was looking nervous. He was seeing people being escorted by members of the Black Knights and he saw that happening all over in the city. He wondered if Britannian soldiers were nearby as well. The man shook his head and decided to hurry and met up with his colleagues. The man soon arrived to a building and went inside. It was there that met with his colleagues and they had their equipment for their Code-R Project. The man took of his hat and informed them what they saw.
"The Black Knights?" One of the researchers asked.
"Yes, they're here in Narita," The man in the suit said.
The man in the suit who wore glasses was also actually one of the researchers.
"Damn it, this is not good," Another researcher said with a frown, "Viceroy Cornelia and her forces are here as well and now the Black Knights."
"We're in serious trouble if they find us," The man in the suit said.
"We thought we'd be safe in Narita since it was one of the terrorist groups that practically control Narita," The first researcher said, "what a mess we got ourselves into."
"Don't forget that it was General Bartley that decided this place for us," The second researcher said.
"We all know that but still…" The man with glasses said, "You know, I'm seeing Britannian soldiers in tanks stationed here and I'm seeing the Black Knights escorting people out."
"What, are they working together?" The third researcher asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I sincerely doubt that," The fourth researcher said, "the Black Knights are considered enemies of the state."
"Still, we have to do something," The second researcher said, "if they find us—"
The door suddenly opened and it surprised the researchers of the Code-R Project were surprised and see someone enter and it was a bald man wearing a Britannian military uniform and red eye lenses. The man also wore a cravat with the Geass symbol.
"Hello gentlemen," The man said, "it's been a while."
"Colonel Madd?" One of the researchers spoke surprised.
"Colonel, what brings you here?" Another researcher asked, "We were under the impression that you were still in the Chinese Federation."
"We'll talk about that later," Madd said, "but listen, Cornelia and her forces are here in Narita and the Black Knights are here as well. In fact, a group of them are actually searching you specifically right now."
The Code-R Researchers were shocked to hear that the Black Knights were looking for them.
"Damn it, so the Black Knights are really looking for us in particular," One of the researchers deduced, "how did they know we were here?"
"It seems that they've been doing some investigation," Madd said, "anyway, I'm here to aid you to get out before they find you. Cornelia doesn't know that you people are here and I'm sure you want to keep it that way. Of course the Black Knights are another issue. If they find you, it's over and your names will be known," Madd then began to grin, "of course, that's why I'm here. I'm going to help you out. After all, this project needs to continue."
The researchers sighed with relief and were grateful.
"Thank you Colonel," One of the researchers said, "we'll do whatever you say."
"Smart," Madd said and then he looked and raised an eyebrow, "hang on, you guys are one short. Where's Fenette?"
The researchers looked at each other and then back to Madd with frowns.
"Yeah, about Fenette…?" The researcher with glasses said.
"Hmm?" Madd responded.
"We don't expect him to work with us again," One of the researchers informed.
"What?" Madd replied not pleased, "Why not?"
Later on, Void was leading Rai, Alice, and members of the Yamato Alliance to a building where the researchers were suppose to be. Void nodded and signaled them to keep moving. They broke inside but found that no one was there and all the equipment was gone as well. They were surprised to find that the place was empty.
"Are you sure this is the place?" Void asked looking at Rai.
"I'm certain of it," Rai said, "I know they were right here."
"Well it doesn't seem that way," Keitaro said.
"Yeah, are you sure you didn't get the wrong place?" Gen asked.
"I'm sure of it," Rai insisted.
Alice saw something and went over. She bends her knees and picked up something and looked at something.
"Void," Alice called.
"Yes, what is it?" Void asked as she went over to Alice.
Void looked at what Alice saw and then she turned over to the others.
"They were here," Void said, "Rai wasn't mistaken. It's just that we just missed them."
"Huh, what do you mean Void?" Gen asked.
Alice held up a piece of paper and they looked the paper showing them information.
"A recorded research data of Code-R," Rai said.
"That was careless of them," Keitaro commented.
Alice and Void looked over at the place and saw signs. Alice went to another room and it was actually a garage and she saw tire tracks. Alice looked closely at the tire tracks.
"It wasn't long," Alice concluded, "they had just left."
Rai entered the garage and looked over.
"Well?" Rai asked.
"Judging by the tracks, we had just missed them," Alice said.
"Did they know we we're coming?" Rai asked, "And if they did, how did they know?"
"For now, I need to contact my brother and inform him," Void said.
"Right," Rai said and then turned, "hey Keitaro!"
Rai left to go to the others.
"Nunnally, do you think it was…?" Alice asked.
"Hmph, I don't know," Void said frowning behind her mask, "but then again, we can never be sure with that one."
Meanwhile, Zero had just arrived at the summit and met up with the other members of the Black Knights and he disembarked off his Lionel. He received a phone call on his cell and he answered. Zero was surprised in what he was informed and he was not pleased.
"This is unfortunate," Zero said, "how did they know we were looking for them?" Zero thought about it and had his guess, "You know I think I may know. Anyway Void, unfortunately it's too late for you and the others to meet with us. I'm sure you noticed that Britannian forces have the place surrounded so it'll be impossible for you to meet up with us right now. However…"
Zero was discussing the plans with his sister and then afterwards, he hung up and then met with the others. Zero saw the electrodes being placed and he nodded.
"How are we looking over here?" Zero asked.
"Oh Zero," Ohgi spoke and then he nodded, "everything is looking good."
"Yeah, we'll have things finished here very soon," Inoue said.
"Good," Zero replied, "you're all doing excellent."
"So how did it go with Katase?" Naoto asked.
"He declined," Zero answered with a sigh.
"Well, no surprise there really," Naoto said with a shrug.
"I figured I give it a try," Zero added.
"Yeah but c'mon Zero," Naoto said, "you had to guess that Katase was going to turn you down."
"Hmph," Zero responded, "anyway, I was just contacted by Void."
"So they got those Code-R researchers?" Minami asked.
"No, it seems that they were somehow tipped off that we were after them and they got away right before they had arrived in their place of operation," Zero informed.
The other Black Knights were surprised.
"Wait, they were tipped off and got away?" Kallen asked, "But how? Who the hell tipped them off?"
"Do we have a leak?" Minami asked.
"We don't know," Zero said, "but we'll find out for sure."
"Ah damn it," Tamaki said annoyed, "so those bastards got away."
"So what now Zero?" Ohgi asked.
"It's frustrating but we'll search for them again soon," Zero said, "The only thing we can do right now is concentrate on Cornelia and her forces."
"Oh yeah," Sugiyama said as he checked the radar, "right now we're surrounded."
"Our path of escape is cut off," Yoshida said, "just as you said it would Zero."
"So the only thing we can do is fight forward," Naoto said.
"That's right," Zero said facing the others, "the operation will begin. As long as you all follow my plan, we will be victorious. This I can promise all of you!"
The Black Knights with Zero looked on hearing the sincerity of Zero's words.
"We will be facing against the Second Princess of Britannia whose forces are considerable in strength for Britannia's forces," Zero said.
Meanwhile, Cornelia was in her Gloucester and was ready to begin.
"Viceroy," A soldier spoke over the intercom, "we're ready to begin."
"Yes," Cornelia said, "commence the operation!"
Cornelia pressed a button and her Knightmare Frame launched out the G-1 Mobile Base. Cornelia smiled as she was ready to lead the decimation of the Japan Liberation Front.
"You, the Japan Liberation Front," Cornelia said, "you who time has left behind, you who have forgotten basic human decency. You and your dream of a bygone golden age shall fall and rot to nothingness."
Cornelia's forces were making their move within the Narita Mountains heading straight with the intent to eradicate the Japan Liberation Front. In the sky, VTOLs were releasing Knightmare Frames and those frames headed down to the mountains as well. Meanwhile within the base of the Japan Liberation Front, enemy signatures were being seen in their screen and General Katase frowned seeing the enemy making their move.
"So, they've made their move," Katase said, "and they're closing in on us. What's the status?"
"Yes sir," One of the JLF soldier responded with a salute, "the Britannian army have the entire mountain surrounded. We've indentified more than 100 of them."
Katase looked at the signatures that indicated that the Britannian forces. Katase closed his eyes thinking about his conversation with Zero earlier.
"I won't regret it," Katase said, "I won't regret the decision I made," Katase opened his eyes, "We will counter against them!"
Meanwhile Void and the group with her were watching from a safe distance of the Britannian army making their move within the mountain.
"They're making their move," Rai said.
"And so many of them too," Alice commented.
"Yes and we need to make our move as well," Void said, "There might be civilians still hanging here. We need to get them out immediately."
"Understood," Keitaro said, "not to mention, we need to be ready before they use the electrodes."
"So how do you want us to complete that task?" Gen asked, "We'll have to be careful since Britannian soldiers are around."
"First off Rai," Void said, "How are we in time?"
Void and the others checked and discussed things further and then they split up and made sure that there were no other civilians hanging out in the city. Meanwhile, Sayoko, CC, and Jinta were watching in hiding as Britannian forces were moving in and Jinta was on his phone speaking with someone.
"Looks like we can't move any further," Sayoko said.
"So what are we going to do now?" CC asked.
Jinta hung up his phone and put it in his pocket.
"Sayoko and I will be doing something," Jinta said, "but you CC won't be doing anything."
"Hmph," CC replied.
"Anyway, I just got off the phone with Lelouch," Jinta said.
"Master Lelouch?" Sayoko replied.
"Yes and it seems that the researchers of the Code-R Project were tipped off and were able to make their escape right before the others could get to them," Jinta informed.
"Wait a minute," Sayoko spoke surprised, "How did they…?"
"Well…" Jinta said looking directly at CC.
CC took a few seconds to know what was implied when Jinta looked at her.
"Hold it," CC said with a frown, "you don't actually think it was me, do you?"
"Well, that's what Lelouch thinks," Jinta said with a shrug, "I mean think about it, you showed up and—"
"I'm going to stop you right there," CC interjected strongly, "it wasn't me. I did not tip them off. Does Lelouch actually think that I would do that?"
"I can understand why Master Lelouch would think that way," Sayoko said.
"Well it wasn't me," CC said with a frown and feeling insulted, "I didn't tip them off. This is insulting for him to think that I would even do something like that. If they saw me, they would have captured me and I have no desire to be their guinea pig again."
"Is it really hard for you to see why he would suspect you?" Jinta asked, "I mean part of the reason is that you have knowledge of what he and his sister wants to know but you refuse to give it."
"Everything was fine between me and Lelouch until you had to go stick your nose into our business and open your big fat mouth," CC replied, "and I'll say this to you again," CC glared at Jinta, "you may think that you're helping him by revealing things to Lelouch but what you're really doing is placing his life as well as Nunnally's life in danger."
"Hmph, I bet that even if I didn't say anything, he still would have figured out that you were jerking him around anyway," Jinta said.
"Don't compare your experiences to others," CC commented.
"Hey," Jinta said coldly glaring at CC.
Meanwhile back in the summit, Zero and the Black Knights that were with him looked on as Britannian forces were moving in.
"Ah man," Ohgi commented, "it's more than I imagined."
"That's right," Zero said, "they're coming in full force."
"Hey wait," Tamaki said, "this more than we can handle here, we're all dead. This isn't good at all."
"Tamaki, are you losing faith?" Zero asked, "Or perhaps, you're letting doubt creep in."
"Can you blame me?" Tamaki responded, "Look at this. Yeah, you told us that this would happen but still, this is still too much. Are we really going to succeed with this many? This is too much. We're biting more than what we can chew here and could end up dead!"
"Tamaki, if you let doubt and uncertainty consume you, if you lose confidence then you already lost," Zero said.
Tamaki was taken back with what Zero said.
"It is to be expected as I explained it to you beforehand and yes, Cornelia may be expecting us but even with all that, we'll still make it through all of this," Zero said strongly, "it is not my intention to have any of you to die here!"
The others were silent as in awe in what Zero said.
"Lelouch…" Kallen said in her head.
"If any of you have any doubts of my plans in this operation, speak up!" Zero said strongly, "If there's no faith, no trust in this, if I don't have100% in your cooperation and confidence in anything we do, then we as a group will not function properly. If that's the case, then we might as well disband the Black Knights. Should that happen, I as well as the few people who will stick with me will go at it on our own and the rest of you can either decide to stop fighting or go your own way to fight against Britannia."
The others were shocked and wide eyed in what Zero had just said.
"Well, what's it going to be?" Zero asked.
"Hey, there's no need for that," Sugiyama said, "we're behind you in this. You have our 100%"
"That's right," Minami said, "we had already decided to follow you Zero."
"You're our leader," Yoshida said, "and at the very least, we have confidence in your leadership and executing your plans."
"If we weren't ready and to be committed to this, we would have said so already," Inoue said.
"That's right," Ohgi said, "you've been straight forward with us from the beginning and gave us the option and letting us know upfront what will happen if we work with you."
"This includes what is going on right now," Naoto said and then he fist tapped Zero's shoulder, "we're in this with you Zero. We got your back."
"We won't back out of this," Kallen assured, "not after coming this far."
Zero looked at the others who looked at him determined and committed.
"Thank you," Zero said and then he turned to Tamaki, "Tamaki, what about you?"
Tamaki flinched looking at Zero and then looked away.
"If you don't feel that this will work for you then please say so right now," Zero said, "and you won't have to participate in this operation."
"Man," Tamaki said rubbing his head, "I'm in, I'm in. Sorry, just seeing the serious numbers of enemy forces made me nervous. I lost my cool there."
"Understandable," Zero commented, "to be honest, this is by far the largest that Cornelia has deployed since she arrived, even more than in Saitama. But we have the advantage right here."
Zero looked at the electrodes that were placed.
"Yeah, yeah you're right," Tamaki said feeling confident again, "besides, we came to curb stomp Cornelia again. It won't do to be all scared."
"There you go Tamaki," Zero said, "that's the spirit."
"Still, what about the JLF?" Ohgi asked.
"Unfortunately, they won't last," Zero said, "They will lose this battle."
"Can you try to convince Katase one more time?" Ohgi asked.
Zero shook his head, "I could go on how things will be for Katase and the JLF but it will be pointless if he has absolutely no interest and trying to force them won't do…not that I would ever go for that option."
"So we won't help them?" Yoshida asked.
"You can't basically help those that seriously don't want it," Naoto pointed out.
"Exactly," Zero said, "anyway, we need to get ready ourselves. It won't matter that Katase won't like it, we will take on Cornelia."
Area 11 Government Bureau
Nonette was in a room and sitting with a screen in front of her. The screen was on and it showed a young man wearing a Knight of the Round uniform. The young man had short green hair and violet eyes.
"Nonette, good to see you again," The male Knight of the Round said.
"Yes, good to see you as well Carter," Nonette replied.
"How is it going with your assignment in Area 11?" Carter asked.
"Well, it's going as expected," Nonette said, "Where's Jason and Sarah? Are they not with you?"
"Sarah is with her family and Jason is on an assignment at the moment," Carter said.
"I see," Nonette said, "I wanted to discuss something with the three of you together but it'll wait."
"Right," Carter said with a nod, "oh Nonette, may I ask you something?"
"Yes, what is it?" Nonette replied.
Carter narrowed his eyes, "Is it true that Prince Lelouch and Princess Nunnally may actually be alive in Area 11?"
"Hold on," Nonette replied narrowing her eyes, "Where did you hear that from?"
Narita
A man in a dark gray suit who had dark orange short hair had his hands up and sighed sadly. He was facing members of the Black Knights.
"Void, we believe he is the only one left," One of the Black Knights said.
"Very good," Void said as she arrived with Rai and Alice.
"The Black Knights," The man said and felt nervous, "What do you want from me?"
"What we want," Void said, "is for you to get yourself to safety."
"Huh, what do you mean?" The man asked.
"This place won't be safe," Void said, "we're making sure that no one gets caught up in what's going to happen."
The man looked at the Black Knights, "I'm a Britannian you know."
"What difference does that make?" Void replied.
"Just checking," The man replied, "I guess it's just as Zero says."
"Anyway, you don't want to be here so please, let's get you out of here," Void said.
The man had his worries and his thoughts, "I wonder how they would react if they find out that I was involved in the Code-R Project. Considering that the place was empty when I got there, the others must have taken off already. Did they do it because of the fact that Viceroy Cornelia and her forces had arrived? Is it because of the Black Knights being here?"
"Let's go," Void said.
Meanwhile within the base of the Japan Liberation Front, the members were seeing that they were losing ground to the Britannian forces and they saw that they were closing in on them.
"We're completely surrounded!" One of the JLF members reported, "Our nearby supporters have been captured as well!"
"General Katase, there's a message from Cornelia's forces demanding our surrender!" Another JLF member reported.
"We cannot and we will not," Katase said strongly, "if we give up now, the Japanese movement dies!"
"This is bad," A JLF member said as he was nervous and then looked over to Katase, "Sir, perhaps we should reconsider and ask for the aid of the Black Knights."
"Absolutely not!" Katase responded strongly, "We cannot be seeking help from them. We should not be asking Zero for help."
"Then are we taking the aggressive or defensive approach?" Another JLF member asked.
"What about Todoh?" Katase asked, "How is he on getting back here from Kyoto?"
"He and the Holy Swords are trying to get back as fast as they can," One of the JLF members informed, "but sir, we all know that…"
"That they won't make it in time," Katase said, "yes I know," Katase sighed and was ready, "Burais, prepare to sortie! Break through the corners of the enclosure and make your moves! The pride and honor of Japan is at stake here! It's time we make our comeback and show that the Japan Liberation Front is a strong fighting force!"
Meanwhile in the G-1 Mobile Base, Euphie was going over the logistics with Cornelia's staff officers. As they continue to go over the logistics of the operation, their screen got suddenly fuzzy.
"What's happening?" Euphie asked.
"It's the enemy's ECM," One of the staff officers said.
At the slope of the mountains, Knightmare units led by Darlton in his Gloucester were getting reports of the enemy making their move and Darlton ordered for them to activate their Electric Counter-Countermeasures.
"Switch the communication channel to Alpha Four," Darlton ordered, "now then as for the enemy, what do they call them again?"
"Burai sir," One of the soldiers replied.
"Burais," Darlton said with a smile, "Right, well be careful. They look like Glasgows."
"Yes my lord," The soldiers said in unison.
On the other side, trees within the mountains moved and the Burai Knightmare Frames of the Japan Liberation Front popped up from the ground and moving to go against the Britannian forces. Cornelia was seeing it and was intrigued.
"Interesting, so they made the entire mountain as their fortress," Cornelia said with a smile.
"Your Highness, please stay back," Guilford requested.
"Guilford, don't treat me like those other women," Cornelia drawled.
Cornelia went on ahead with Jousting Lance in hand with speed and Guilford called for her. Cornelia continued to rush towards the Knightmares of the Japan Liberation Front. The Burais shot at Cornelia's Gloucester trying to stop her in her tracks but Cornelia was too fast for them and eliminated them one by one with such ease. Cornelia then proceeded to shoot one of her Slash Harkens to destroy one of the JLF tanks. Guilford sighed as he knew how his princess going to proceed.
"Yes of course," Guilford said, "in that case, we'll cover you."
Cornelia looked back with smile and then faced forward again.
"Well, I am here!" Cornelia declared directed towards the Japan Liberation Front, "Is there no one who can give me a decent challenge?! I dare anyone to make an attempt to kill me!"
Meanwhile, a truck was being driven and inside was the researchers of the Code-R Project along with Madd. The truck stopped and they looked up hearing the battle.
"It seems that they started," Madd said.
"Yes sir, they have," One of the researchers said.
"Well now," Madd said as he folded his arms, "Regarding Fenette…"
"Colonel?" One of the researchers spoke as he and others looked at Madd.
"If he thinks that he can just walk away from this then he is sadly deluded," Madd said, "he needs to understand that he can't just walk away without suffering the consequences."
"Colonel Madd, what are you saying?" One of the researchers asked feeling nervous.
Madd grinned as he took his phone out of his pocket and made a call.
"Something unfortunate will happen to Fenette," Madd said.
Back in the battle, Cornelia had just decimated another Burai with her Gloucester.
"Too weak," Cornelia said, "they are all too weak yet they think they can go against us. These people can't do much yet Clovis still couldn't exterminate them when he was in charge. This is all too disappointing."
Other units of Britannian forces were aggressively shooting and bringing down forces of the Japan Liberation Front. Darlton was leading his unit and then he ordered them to spread out and they continued firing and destroying JLF units. In the base of the Japan Liberation Front, Katase and the others were seeing their units being lost one by one in a fast pace.
"It's hopeless," One of the JLF members said, "we've lost communication with our second wave of attackers!"
Katase was shocked and couldn't believe what was happening.
"Such overwhelming power," Katase said, "so this is the might of the Britannian forces led by Cornelia," Katase had his thoughts, "Is there nothing we can really do? Todoh is still not here and Zero intends to get involved. The question is where is he? If Zero makes his move and defeats Cornelia again..."
Meanwhile, Darlton and his units arrived at an area where they saw a huge lodging up ahead.
"Based on the movements of the enemies, we've determined that the main base of the Japan Liberation Front is mountain cottage there," One of the Britannian soldiers said.
"I see," Darlton said with a smile, "Should I say 'bingo' in this situation?"
"Actually sir, it's more on the lines of—" The soldier replied.
"Just go along with me on this honest soldier," Darlton interjected.
"Uh, y-yes General, of course," The soldier replied back nervously.
"Anyway, send the signal," Darlton ordered.
One of the Knightmare units shot a flare signal up and it was seen by units led by Cornelia who was still moving forward.
"Is that Darlton?" Cornelia asked.
"Yes and so it seems that the enemy's main base is there," Guilford said.
"Very well then we'll wait here," Cornelia said.
"Hmm? Is that all right?" Guilford asked.
"Yes, I'm not one who takes credit for my subordinates' hard work," Cornelia said with a smile, "send the reserve troops to Darlton's location."
"Yes of course," Guilford said, "it shall be done."
"You'll get another medal for this Darlton," Cornelia said proudly.
Meanwhile, Lelouch was in the cockpit of his Lionel and he took off his mask.
"As expected of you my sister Cornelia," Lelouch said, "A well planned out tactic. However though, I can see where you are and you won't be able to stop me from beating you. It doesn't seem like Nonette is involved so that's a relief for me. It'll make things easier. Now then…"
Lelouch started pushing buttons in his cockpit. Meanwhile in an area below, units were in positions and it was members of the Purist Faction. Jeremiah was frustrated with what was going on.
"I thought the reserve unit was supposed to be assigned to General Darlton," Jeremiah said.
"That's right they were," Villetta said, "however though our unit is assigned to support the rear line for Viceroy Cornelia."
"Wait, you mean this is the rear line?" Jeremiah replied surprised, "But this is farther away from the battlefield! I can't regain my honor like this! How the hell am I supposed be able to redeem myself if I'm not fighting in the battlefield!" Jeremiah shook his head and was wide eyed, "I have to do something because if I don't…if I don't…"
Villetta looked at Jeremiah with concern as she was worried that he was going to go insane while Kewell and the other members of the Purist Faction just looked at Jeremiah with disgust. Meanwhile, the forces of the Japan Liberation Front continued to be decimated by the Britannian forces. In the base, Katase was clenching his teeth in frustration as he was getting reports of units being lost and his soldiers being killed in action.
"Where's Todoh?" Katase said, "If Todoh was here, the divine wind would blow in our favor again and we would have the Miracle of Itsukushima again."
There was a sudden beeping sound and it brought Katase his attention.
"General, we have a message," One of the JLF said, "and…it's from Zero."
"Zero?" Katase replied and then he remembered and was wide eyed, "I see, that means…"
"He's going to do it?" One of the JLF members asked.
Katase frowned, "Yes, we'll have a rockslide occur," Katase sighed, "No choice, call all units still alive to take evasive maneuvers to prepare for the rockslide and prepare measures for this base as well."
"Yes sir!" One of the JLF soldiers said, "It will be done!"
"Zero is just doing whatever the hell he wants," Katase complained, "it's shameful…"
Meanwhile, two trucks were rushing to get to the Narita Mountains and in the trucks were Kyoshiro Todoh and the Four Holy Swords.
"Sir, aren't we overdoing this?" Asahina asked.
"Asahina, Chiba, prepare the Burais," Todoh said, "and tell Urabe and Senba behind us to do the same. All the roads to Narita have been blocked off and the fighting has already begun. I just hope that we make it in time."
Meanwhile, the Knightmare units led by Darlton were climbing up and getting closer to the base. Darlton was pleased and confident that it would be the end of the Japan Liberation Front.
"Once we finish off the Japan Liberation Front…" Darlton said.
In Cornelia's cockpit, the Viceroy was pleased and confident.
"…then the largest known rebel faction will be no more," Cornelia said, "the only group that will be left is the Black Knights," Cornelia sported an evil smile, "although should they show up here, it'll save us the trouble and we'll kill them as well. Zero, I will have satisfaction of killing you myself for the sake of my subordinates whom you killed in Saitama."
Meanwhile in the cockpit of the Lionel, Lelouch was pressed button and was ready.
"Preparations are now complete!" Lelouch said, "It's time for things to get started, prepare for sortie! We begin our move against Cornelia li Britannia, Second Princess and current Viceroy. Is everyone ready?"
"Ready!" All the Black Knights said in unison.
The members prepared and were ready to begin the operation.
"We will move down the mountain and mount our own attack against the Britannian army," Lelouch continued, "once I give the word, rush down with all your might. We will show the strength and resolve of the Black Knights! You have your tasks and I'm confident that you will succeed. Void and the others with her will join us in our attack. The Guren will open the path for us."
"Right, I'm ready," Kallen said as he moved her new red Knightmare and placed the silver right arm with claw fingers on one of the electrodes.
"I have confidence in you Kallen," Lelouch said.
"Thanks," Kallen replied, "I should use electrode number three, right?"
"Correct," Lelouch said, "do it in one blow."
"Okay, finally we get started," Kallen said, "Checking the output. Radiation Wave activated. Atmosphere under control," Kallen took a deep breath and started, "External discharge!"
Kallen activated the Radiation Wave Surger on the third electrode. Kallen deactivated the Radiant Wave Surger and after a few moments, it gave the result that they wanted as the shaking started to occur and an avalanche occurred with such force. The rockslide caught the Britannian forces by surprise and they were swept away by the rockslide. In the JLF's main base, the JLF members were bracing themselves. Measures had been set for their main base but were still feeling the effects of the rockslide.
"We'll be fine," Katase assured, "this place will still stand."
"Yes sir," One of the JLF members said, "you're right."
"General Katase," Another JLF soldier said, "all of our troops still alive have been able to get to safety points within the mountain."
"Thank goodness," Katase said with relief.
"Though I have to wonder," Another JLF said, "how did Zero know about what we had in case of a rockslide?"
"That's a good question," Katase said, "Unfortunately I have no idea how he could have known."
Meanwhile, CC, Sayoko, and Jinta were watching the rockslide from a close but safe distance.
"It begins," Sayoko said.
"This is our chance Sayoko," Jinta said.
"Let's move," Sayoko said.
"Where are we going?" CC asked.
Jinta just looked at CC and sighed and shrugged.
"Guess we have no choice," Jinta said.
"We might as well," Sayoko said.
"Can't be helped really," Jinta said as he took CC's arm and dragged her with him.
"Hey, hey," CC spoke annoyed, "Jinta let go. Let me go you annoying brat."
"Tch, you're still calling me that?" Jinta replied annoyed.
"It can't be helped," CC replied, "you're just a spoiled brat."
"And you're just a haughty bitch," Jinta responded back annoyed.
The rockslide continued to sweep away Britannian forces much to their surprise. In the G-1 Mobile Base, Euphie and the staff officers were shocked in what they were seeing on the radar on their console.
"A rockslide?" Euphie said in shock.
"Impossible, how could this happen?" One of the staff officers asked.
They were seeing LOST signals of all the units caught in the rockslide and the units being lost were being shown in a fast rate.
"It doesn't seem like any of the enemy units are caught in the rockslide," Another staff officer reported.
"If this continues then General Darlton and General Alex's units will all be eliminated," Another staff officer said.
Euphie was worried about the safety of her sister. Meanwhile, Darlton had one of his Slash Harkens out and held on to keep from being swept away.
"Climb up!" Darlton ordered, "Head towards higher ground!"
At the other side, Cornelia and her unit was looked on seeing the rockslide and was shocked.
"What's the current situation?" Cornelia asked.
"Darlton and Alex's units are being wiped out!" Guilford reported, "Your Highness, please step back! It's too dangerous!"
"Don't worry about me right now!" Cornelia said, "I want to know Darlton's location and find Alex as well!" Cornelia clenched her teeth in frustration, "How the hell could this happen? A damn rockslide of all things!"
At the base of the mountain, the rockslide subsided and didn't go any further in the city and there were small mudslides within the city and that was all. A group of Knightmares was making their way up going through and it was led by the Lucan piloted by Void. Meanwhile Lelouch looked on and sighed.
"Good, we isolated Cornelia's unit and there's little to no damage to the city," Lelouch said in his head, "My calculations were accurate," Lelouch nodded, "It was a good thing that I asked Nina on calculation and probability," Lelouch gripped the controls, "time to move. Nunnally and the others should be able to make their way up to join us."
Back with Cornelia, she was waiting for the report on the current situation. She was then contacted.
"Viceroy," One of the soldiers contacted.
"Go ahead," Cornelia said.
"We have confirmed another unit coming from the summit of the mountain," The soldier reported, "Kalius's unit has gone to intercept them."
"So they intend to use the confusion?" Cornelia asked.
"Viceroy, the unit that's coming from the summit," The soldier reported, "Kalius reports that it's not the Japan Liberation Front."
"Huh, then who is it?" Cornelia asked.
"Viceroy…it's the Black Knights!" The soldier spoke.
Cornelia was shocked, "Say that again!"
The Black Knights' Knightmare unit that was led by the Lionel piloted by Zero was making their way down from the summit of the mountain. In the G-1 Mobile Base, Euphie was surprised when she heard the report.
"The Black Knights?!" Euphie spoke shocked.
"But how?" One of the staff officers asked surprised, "How were they able to hide themselves?"
"I get it," Euphie said.
"Your Highness?" One of the staff officers spoke.
"It must have been them," Euphie said, "They must have caused the rockslide, wiping out Darlton and Alex's unit."
"We've lost signals of Kalius and his unit!" Another staff officer just reported.
Meanwhile, Jeremiah was ecstatic when he heard the Black Knights making their appearance.
"The Black Knights?" Jeremiah spoke surprised, "That means Zero is here! Ha, I knew he would show up!" Jeremiah quickly piloted his Knightmare and headed to go after Zero, "Zero!"
"Lord Jeremiah, stop!" Villetta called out, "If you leave without permission…!"
"This requires drastic measures!" Jeremiah interjected, "If you want glory in life then follow me!"
Zero continued to lead his unit down the mountain.
"Cornelia's units have been isolated!" Zero said, "Let's take them down and have them taste the bitter taste of defeat again!"
"Understood Zero!" Naoto said.
"Time to kick some ass!" Tamaki said fired up.
The Black Knights began their attack against the Britannian forces.
That's it for this chapter. Next chapter: The battle in Narita continues and the Lancelot makes its way to fight the Lionel.
