The Black Rebellion Part Four
Ohgi, Tamaki, Sugiyama, Minami, Yoshida, and Inoue were in the underground base that was used by Lelouch and Nunnally in the past that was hidden within Ashford Academy. Minami and Sugiyama were typing on their laptops and were satisfied as they were finishing things up as Yoshida and Tamaki were standing next to them and watching them work. There was a wire that was connected to the huge monitor and Ohgi and Inoue were pressing buttons on the console. They both nodded and they went to the others.
"We're finished here," Inoue said.
"Everything is done," Sugiyama said.
"The rest is on the others," Yoshida said.
"Okay, let's head back out," Ohgi said, "Hopefully there's not too much trouble."
"Yeah well we can't really be sure here," Tamaki commented, "even though this is school of Kallen, Lelouch, Nunnally, Alice, and Rai, I wouldn't be surprised if their former classmates were given them a hard time. I dare them to try and see what happens."
"Easy Tamaki," Minami said, "you know they can take care of themselves and besides, Naoto is with them."
"Although I am concern for Euphemia," Ohgi said with worry, "I hope she's not having a tough time."
"They're with her," Inoue said, "and I'm sure she's fine. She has proven herself as such."
"Yeah, you're right," Ohgi said rubbing the back of his head, "I shouldn't doubt her. She chose to join us and is willing to walk the same path as us."
"Exactly," Tamaki said with a grin, "she's one of us now."
"Okay, let's go and meet with Naoto," Ohgi said.
"Right," The others said in unison.
Cornelia's Flagship
In the bridge of the flagship, Cornelia was sitting in her seat with her knight Guilford standing next to her while Darlton was standing in the front while the Glaston Knights were one the side and they were all looking on. Cornelia was thinking about everything that had happened that had involved with Euphie and was still thinking of her. Cornelia wondered if she made the right choice in leaving her sister back in Japan and with the Black Knights. She was scared when she thought about the conflict that was happening with her brother Schneizel leading the military force against the Black Knights. She didn't doubt that Schneizel would do everything and make sure that Euphie would be unharmed but she still couldn't help with the unease feeling she was having and worried if she really made the right choice. Part of her told her that she should have taken her sister with her by force if she needed to and done the same thing to Lelouch and Nunnally even knowing that her two half-siblings were masked rebels leading against Britannia. As Cornelia continued to ponder, there was a beeping sound and it was that of a transmission trying to get through. As the crew members informed them where it was coming from, Cornelia nodded and gave permission to have the transmission comes through as she stood up from her seat. When the transmission went through, someone appeared on the screen and it was a middle aged woman with indigo eyes and mid-length dark pink hair that wore an imperial dress.
"Mother," Cornelia said.
"Cornelia, what is going on?" The middle woman asked upset, "Why am I hearing that Euphemia has joined the Black Knights? Before that, what is it that I heard that Euphemia was targeted by agents with the intent to frame her and kill her as well? Is it all true?"
"Yes Mother, it is all true," Cornelia answered.
Darlton and Guilford looked on while the Glaston Knights looked on and were surprised.
"Wait, is that…?" Alfred whispered.
"Yes," Claudio whispered, "Victoria li Britannia, the 4th Imperial Consort as well as the mother of Princess Cornelia and Princess Euphemia."
"Cornelia, what is the meaning of this?" Victoria asked.
"It's like you heard Mother," Cornelia said, "Euphemia has joined the Black Knights."
"And you didn't stop her?" Victoria asked upset.'
"No, in fact I understood and supported her decision," Cornelia replied.
"Y-You actually supported her decision?" Victoria replied back shocked at her eldest daughter's response.
"I did," Cornelia said.
"D-Do you even understand what you have done?" Victoria replied upset, "Cornelia!"
"I'm sorry Mother," Cornelia said, "but this was something that Euphie decided on her own and with everything that has happened, I want to believe in my sister."
Victoria was wide eyed as she was shocked.
"What good is supporting her when she is being declared as a traitor to her own country?" Victoria asked, "I cannot believe that you just let this happen," Victoria shook her head, "I never should have allowed this. You were so insistent of taking her with you in everywhere you went," Victoria shook her head again and looked at Cornelia disappointed in her eldest daughter, "You let this happen. This is happening because of you and if anything happens to your sister, I am placing the blame on you. If Euphemia had just stayed and continued her studies, nothing of this would have happened. You promised that you would protect your sister and not let her go astray and you do this?"
Cornelia shifted her eyes down with a downcast expression while her subordinates looked at their princess with sympathy.
"I am sorry Mother," Cornelia said.
"…Yes, sure you are," Victoria replied, "and you're going to be even more sorry when your father speaks with you."
Victoria looked away from her daughter with tears from her eyes and she ended the transmission ended and Cornelia just stood.
"Your Highness," Guilford said with concern.
"I knew how things were going to go when I made the decision to allow Euphie to stay with them," Cornelia said, "I expected this from my mother and I know I'm going to get more of with and yes, I will be scrutinized and talked down for being a fool when we get back to the Homeland."
"Princess," Darlton said.
"But regardless, I cannot stop from there," Cornelia said with determination, "I will reveal the scum and villainy within the shadows of the empire and I am certain that there is a connection with my father the emperor."
"And no matter what, we are with you," Guilford said, "we will aid you and support you all the way."
"Thank you," Cornelia said with a smile, "well then, we need to do our part and leave the rest to them… to my siblings with the Black Knights."
"Yes Your Highness," The soldiers said in unison.
Marrybell's Flagship
Marrybell was sitting in her seat within the bridge and was worried for Euphie.
"Was this the right decision?" Marrybell asked herself, "Leaving Euphie with the Black Knights?"
Oldrin was standing next to Marrybell.
"Your Highness," Oldrin spoke looking at her princess.
"Oldrin, tell me," Marrybell said, "Do you think that I made the right choice?"
"The right choice?" Oldrin asked.
"Leaving my sister with the Black Knights," Marrybell said, "even though my brother Schneizel intends to get her back."
"Um…" Oldrin said a downcast expression, "to be honest, I don't know."
"Yes, of course you don't," Marrybell said, "I'm sorry it would not be something to just ask."
"Please don't worry about it Your Highness," Oldrin said, "I'm sorry that I can't provide much and do more for you."
"With this I only care about one thing," Marrybell said, "and that my sister's safety. I don't care about anything else."
The door opened and Leonhardt entered the bridge and holding some documents.
"Princess Marrybell," Leonhardt said.
"Oh Leonhardt," Marrybell said, "Do you have the results for me?"
"Yes, we were able to analyze them and it is as you suspected," Leonhardt said.
Leonhardt handed over the documents to Marrybell. She as well Oldrin looked over the documents. They read through them and Marrybell frowned.
"Your Highness, are these…?" Oldrin asked.
"Knightmare logs and some communications with the Pluton agents," Marrybell said and then frowned, "I suspected as much that he was really was involved."
"He?" Oldrin asked and then she realized, "Wait, are you referring to… my uncle?"
"Yes," Marrybell said, "Oiagros Zevon but it's not just him. These logs and communications also indicate someone else involved," Marrybell clenched her teeth in anger, "and it's someone that I know."
"Huh, who would that be?" Leonhardt asked.
Marrybell placed her two finger bit below her left eye and thought about VV with disdain.
Somewhere in Japan
As the battle between the Black Knights and the military forces led by Schneizel continued to be intensified, the Wizard continued to watch things from a safe distance.
"I should really leave here," The Wizard said, "it won't be good to continue to stay here."
"Oh you're too late for that," A male voice said, "you should have left a long time ago Wizard."
The Wizard was surprised and turned. As he did that, he was shot at and the bullet grazed the mask. The mask started the crack and it broke off the man's face and revealed the man's face that went from a white long haired man to a brownish blonde short haired man with green eyes. The man looked and was surprised to see that it was Orpheus who shot him. Orpheus stepped forward and was angry seeing the face of the man and still pointing his gun at him.
"It really was you all along," Orpheus said, "so all this time you were playing us, giving us financial support but also doing the bidding of VV. Damn you… Oiagros Zevon, damn you Uncle."
"Orpheus," Oiagros said with a sad expression, "I never would have imagined that you would figure me out. When did you realize?"
"It first started during the attack at the island," Orpheus said, "it was you who leaked our location to Castor and Pollux… or maybe I should say that you leaked our location to VV."
Oiagros just looked at Orpheus with a sad expression.
"The Pluton Agency was always under the command of the Zevon family," Orpheus said, "of course you killed my mother, your sister to take control of not only of the Zevon house but also the Pluton Agency and yet you gave VV full control of the agency. It was obvious with Pluton's activities that you would be involved."
"Of course," Oiagros said sadly, "everything you just said is true."
"What I want to know is why," Orpheus said as he was shaking in anger, "Why did you kill her? Why did you kill your older sister Olivia Zevon? Why did you kill my mother?"
"Orpheus," Oiagros spoke sadly.
"Did you want to be the head of the family that badly that you were willing to kill my mother?" Orpheus asked, "And why the hell did you go being the financial supporter to Peace Mark? Were just toying with us? Making fun of us? Playing with us from the start?"
Oiagros had his head down in shame.
"Answer me Oiagros!" Orpheus demanded.
Orpheus shot another bullet from his gun and intentionally missed his uncle but Oiagros didn't even flinch of being shot at.
"Orpheus, I'm afraid that there are things that you cannot understand," Oiagros said, "things that I can't relay to you."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Orpheus replied annoyed.
There was sudden huge sound and Orpheus was taken aback. What he saw was a silver Knightmare Frame that was floating and then it landed and it extended its left arm and Oiagros quickly went on the Knightmare's hand and it started to fly up.
"Wait, stop, we're not done here!" Orpheus yelled.
"We are… for now," Oiagros said, "Goodbye my nephew."
Orpheus was boiling in rage and started shooting at his uncle and the Knightmare that was flying up but he missed his marks and they got away. Orpheus was frustrated and he berated himself for letting his uncle get away.
"You're going to pay for this Uncle," Orpheus swore, "mark my words that you will pay for killing my mother and aiding VV, especially with…"
Orpheus clenched his fists as he thought about the girl who was his lover that he was with in a small village in Hungary and how Pluton agents found them and killed all the villagers to get to him and his girlfriend in which his girlfriend was not lucky and was among the casualties who died protecting Orpheus.
"Mother… Euliya," Orpheus said, "I swear one day that I will avenge your deaths."
Ashford Academy
In the clubhouse within the campus, the teachers were getting ready.
"No choice, we'll do this ourselves," Mrs. Crane said, "We'll drive them out."
The majority of the other teachers agreed and nodded.
"Let's do this," The male PE teacher said, "after all, this for the sake of the students."
"That's right, we're doing this to protect them," Another female teacher said.
"We don't need to go so far," Mr. Olsen insisted.
"You're still going on with that?" The female PE teacher responded glaring at Olsen.
"In this case he is right," A female voice said suddenly, "you don't need to go so far, at least not without help."
The teachers were surprised and they looked and saw the person who had spoken and it was Villetta Nu. The teachers were surprised and had their suspicions and before any of them could say anything, Villetta spoke up.
"It's okay," Villetta said, "I assure you that I am part of the military."
The teachers responded surprised.
"Are you really?" Mrs. Crane asked.
"Yes, you're looking to get rid of the Black Knights that are here in this school," Villetta said, "well I came to help do just that."
"How did you…?" A male teacher asked.
"Yes, well we knew that the Black Knights were going to be here in this school," Villetta said, "rest assure, I'm here to stop to them here."
"May I ask your name?" Mrs. Crane asked.
"Of course," Villetta said as she pulled out her military badge, "I am Villetta Nu, a Knight of Honor. Leave things to me and the Black Knights will not only be driven out of this school, they will suffer loses."
The teachers looked at each and then back to Villetta.
"Okay, we thank you Miss Nu," Mrs. Crane said.
Villetta nodded in response. Meanwhile Rivalz, Kallen, and Alice were walking together in the hall.
"I'm just happy to see you two again and you both doing well and so is Rai," Rivalz said.
"Y-Yeah, the same with us," Kallen replied.
"I got to say that I'm jealous," Rivalz said with a smile.
"Huh, why is that?" Alice asked.
"Oh well the fact that Rai is with Princess Euphemia," Rivalz said, "I would have like to stand next to her."
"Seriously," Alice said.
"I see that you haven't changed," Kallen said amused.
"I'll take that as a compliment," Rivalz said.
Not long afterwards, they arrived at the door that led to the Student Council Room. Rivalz opened the door and there was Milly and Shirley sitting in the table.
"Oh Rivalz," Shirley said, "Oh…"
"Kallen and Alice," Milly said with a smile, "how nice of you two to stop by."
"Hey you two," Kallen greeted.
"Hi," Alice greeted with a grin.
"I figured that we can all talk here," Rivalz said.
"That's great," A female voice said.
Rivalz was surprised and wondered who it was and he got his answer and was surprised to see that it was Void.
"V-Void," Rivalz said surprised.
"Hello Rivalz Cardemonde," Void greeted.
"Uh why are you here?" Rivalz asked.
"I came to see how things were going here," Void answered, "Making sure there were no problems as in making things were going real smoothly with no incidents."
"With one of the leaders being here, I figured, 'hey, why don't we have her in the Student Council Room'," Milly said with glee.
"You invited her here Prez?" Rivalz asked.
"Sure did," Milly said happily.
"Heh, why am I not surprised?" Rivalz replied amused and then turned to Shirley, "You okay with this Shirley?"
"Yeah, I really don't mind," Shirley said, "Honestly though, I wish that Zero was here."
"Yeah sorry about that," Void said, "my brother is currently engaging against an enemy."
"Um would can you tell us who he is fighting?" Shirley asked.
"…Suzaku Kururugi," Void answered.
"I see," Shirley said.
"Say I was wondering," Rivalz said, "is it true that Suzaku is no longer Princess Euphemia's knight?"
"Yes sadly that is true," Void answered.
"Oh man," Rivalz said, "I guess it couldn't be helped," Rivalz had a sad expression, "I find it sad though."
"Yes so do I," Void said, "but it comes down to choosing different paths."
"Yeah I have to agree," Milly said and then she wondered about someone, "By the way Rivalz, have you seen Nina?"
"Nina?" Rivalz replied, "Actually no, I haven't seen her all day today."
"Huh, I wonder where she went," Shirley said.
"Hmm," Milly pondered.
"Madam President?" Kallen spoke.
"Are you okay?" Alice asked.
"Well I actually have a bad feeling," Milly said as she was worried, "I don't know why but I feel that trouble is going to happen."
"Trouble?" Alice asked.
"Yes, especially with Nina who has been acting weird lately," Milly said, "she has been ever since that exposure of the Pluton agents behind the disaster of the Special Zone."
Kallen, Void, and Alice pondered and then Rivalz approached Void.
"Hmm?" Void responded looking at Rivalz.
"Um Void, there are two things that I want to say to you," Rivalz said.
"Yes, what is it?" Void responded.
"Well first I know this is so late but I want to say it anyway," Rivalz said, "I want to thank you and the Black Knights for helping my friends here at Kawaguchi when they were taken hostage."
"Oh that," Void replied, "It's not a problem. I'm glad we did what we did. I'll relay your thanks to my brother Zero."
Milly and Shirley smiled at Rivalz and Kallen and Alice was pleased.
"There's also something that I want to discuss and since you're here," Rivalz added.
"Yes?" Void asked.
"What do you all intend to do here in the school?" Rivalz asked, "Is it really to get Gene and Martin because of their involvement of what happened in the Special Zone?"
"Well to be honest, there is one other thing that we needed to do," Void said, "it won't take long. It simply the means to getting in touch with people."
"And you needed to do that here?" Rivalz asked.
"Yes," Void simply answered.
"Okay, now I'm curious," Rivalz said, "seriously, what is your other objective here?"
"Hey, we have trouble!" A male's voice called, "Madam President, are you there? Are any of the Black Knights here?"
This surprised the Student Council members and the two honorary members. The door opened and a male student appeared panting.
"What's wrong?" Milly asked.
In the gym, Naoto and his crew were confronted by the teachers who had either baseball bats or iron pipes in their hands and Villetta stood in front of the teachers with her handgun pointing at Naoto and his crew. Some of the students were there watching what was going on.
"I guess this didn't take long," Naoto said.
"Man, this is garbage," Tamaki said annoyed.
"What is garbage is you people being here," The male PE teacher said tapping his baseball bat on his shoulder.
"You people have no business being here," Mrs. Crane said, "whatever problems our students cause is our concern. You people have no business getting involved in the lives of our students."
"That is where you are wrong," Minami said, "it's not just regarding of your students. What happened involves of the lives of the Japanese and Britannian people who were affected of what happened in the Special Zone."
"Two of your students were involved in causing that disaster in the Special Zone and framing Euphemia in the process," Inoue added.
"And the Britannian authorities will deal with them as seen fit," Villetta interjected, "the Black Knights have no right to deal with those two boys and besides, you the Black Knights are still enemies of the empire and not only that, you are the ones that incited this rebellion against the empire with your attempts to wrestle this territory out of Britannian control. We will not allow that, I will not allow that. Now you can all make this easy on yourselves, bring Euphemia to me and turn yourselves in and we might show you mercy."
"Yeah, we're going to reject that," Ohgi said as he stepped up, "we're not going to betray Euphie and hand her over just so she can be killed for someone's convenience and we're not going to just surrender."
"That is not going to happen," Villetta rebuked, "Whatever you might think, Euphemia is not going to be just murdered for some scheme."
"You have no way to guarantee that it won't happen," Ohgi rebuked back.
"You people are really stubborn," Mrs. Crane said in disgust pointing an iron pipe at them, "Do you not realize that you're just stirring up problems and making things real bad for yourselves and your people."
"You shut the hell up!" Tamaki responded, "You don't a damn thing!"
"How dare you!" Mrs. Crane replied back agitated.
Yoshida discreetly typed something on his cell phone as neither Villetta nor any of the teachers with her noticed. In one of the classrooms, Rai was looking at his cell phone with a message from Yoshida. He then turned to Euphie who watched Gene and Martin who were held by handcuffs and sat on the seats of the desks.
"Euphie, we got trouble," Rai said.
"Rai?" Euphie asked.
"Hey, what's going on?" Martin asked.
"Euphie, are you here?!" A familiar male called out, "Please come out! I came to help you!"
The familiar calling voice surprised the four people in the classroom.
"That voice…" Rai said.
"Is that…?" Euphie said.
Euphie and Rai looked at each other. Outside, the damaged one handed Lancelot arrived at the school and landed within the campus.
"Euphie, are you here?" Suzaku called out, "Please if you can, please respond."
"Suzaku?" Euphie's voice responded.
In the cockpit of the Lancelot, Suzaku looked around and then saw Euphie as she was on the roof of one of the buildings. Students came by and saw the Lancelot.
"The Lancelot," One of the male students said.
"So Suzaku is here," One of the female students said.
Milly, Shirley, and Rivalz came by and saw the Lancelot.
"Suzaku," Milly said.
"Wait, if Suzaku is here," Shirley said, "then what happened to Zero?" Shirley had her thoughts as she was worried for a certain someone, "What happened to Lulu? Did he lose to Suzaku?"
"Euphie, thank goodness you're still okay," Suzaku said feeling relieved and then he looked around and saw familiar faces as well as the rest of the students, "Oh good, you're all okay. The Black Knights didn't hurt any of you, did they?"
The students outside answered no loudly assuring Suzaku that they were all fine and Suzaku felt relieved hearing those things from the other students.
"Suzaku, why did you come here?" Euphie asked.
"I came to rescue you," Suzaku said.
"Rescue me?" Euphie replied confused, "What are you talking about?"
"Euphie, it's not safe for you to be with the Black Knights," Suzaku said, "it's not safe for you to be with Zero and Void. Please come with me and I'll keep you safe."
Euphie looked at the Lancelot and stayed firmed as she shook her head.
"No, I will not leave the Black Knights," Euphie said, "I am part of the Black Knights now. I will not turn my back on Zero and Void."
"Euphie, you don't understand," Suzaku responded, "They're just using you for their own ends. Zero in particular plans to use you and then have you killed afterwards."
"What are you talking about?" Euphie asked.
"I know the truth about Zero and Void," Suzaku said, "I know who they really are and I'm not just talking who they are behind their masks."
"Wait, you do?" Euphie replied surprised.
The students who heard this were surprised as well and most were curious how Suzaku found out and wondered if he was going to revealed who Zero and Void were.
"I do and they are not the just people that they present themselves to be," Suzaku said, "Zero especially is nothing more but a con artist and if you stay with him, he will kill you."
"You're wrong," Euphie said shaking her head, "they would never do that. I don't how you may feel that you know but I know them better than you think," Euphie placed her right hand over her chest, "I know who they are. I know Zero and Void very well and they are who they present themselves to be and I know the others in the Black Knights are the same way and I trust them fully as they fully trust me."
"No Euphie, you're making a mistake," Suzaku rebuked, "Please come with me and I will keep you safe. I promise that I won't let anything happen to you."
"Suzaku," Euphie said with a sad expression.
"I made the mistake of leaving you before," Suzaku said, "I'm sorry that I did that. I never should have done that. You must have felt hurt and sad for what I did. Please let me make it up to you, let me be your knight once more. Please come with me and I will keep you safe. I promise I won't let anything happen to you. I can protect you and I can show you the falsehood that is Zero and Void."
"Suzaku, just stop," Euphie responded shaking her head.
"E-Euphie?" Suzaku replied taken aback.
"Please stop this," Euphie said sadly, "I'm not going back and I will not go with you. I don't feel safe going back and I know I will be killed there the moment I do."
"I won't let it happen," Suzaku insisted, "Prince Schneizel won't let it happen either. You'll be safe!"
"That's enough Suzaku Kururugi," Void's voice called out.
In the cockpit of the Lancelot, Suzaku looked and was surprised to see Void who showed up and stood next to Euphie.
"Void," Suzaku said with disdain.
"You heard Euphie," Void said, "she has made her choice and will not go back. If you truly care about her at all, you will respect her decision."
"I do care about her," Suzaku insisted, "and that is exactly why I will not leave her with you who only see her as a pawn for your scheme or really to your brother Zero's scheme."
"Again with your insults," Void said angrily, "well no matter what, we won't allow you to force Euphie to do what she doesn't want to do."
"She doesn't realize that you are just using her," Suzaku insisted.
"Suzaku please stop," Euphie pleaded.
"Euphie, I'm sorry but I have to do this," Suzaku said, "Your safety is what's important right now."
"Do not move any further Kururugi," Void interjected.
"What?" Suzaku responded.
"Don't move any further," Void said.
"I must ask the same thing," Euphie said, "please don't move any further Suzaku."
In the cockpit of the Lancelot, Suzaku shook his head.
"I won't stop," Suzaku declared, "Euphie, no matter what I will protect you. You may resent me for this now but I am confident that you'll see things knowing that the Black Knights are not the people you want to be with."
The Lancelot moved to extend its hand to pick up Euphie.
"You were warned," Void said.
The Lancelot was suddenly stopped and Suzaku lost control of the Knightmare. In the cockpit, Suzaku was shocked and wondered what was going on.
"What is this…?" Suzaku spoke and then realized something as the Sakuradite that was powering the Lancelot was going down, "Wait, is this…?"
Suzaku looked and got his answer as he saw the same devices that had surrounded the pit on Shikine Island and he saw them that sort of surrounded the area near the Lancelot.
"The Gefjun Disturbers," Suzaku said.
The Lancelot was no longer operational coming to a complete stop and Suzaku was frustrated as it has happened to him again.
"This is why we insisted you stop," Void said.
"Void, you…" Suzaku said.
Suzaku looked and was surprised to who he saw. On one side, he saw Rai and Kallen and on the other side, he saw Alice and the three of them were near the devices that stopped the Lancelot.
"You are so predictable Suzaku," Rai commented.
"Rai," Suzaku growled with disdain as he clenched his teeth.
"Kururugi, where is my brother?" Void asked, "Where's Zero?"
In the cockpit of the Lancelot, Suzaku turned to Void and Euphie.
"If you're asking me where Zero is…" Suzaku spoke.
Shinjuku
People were moving and continued to move to safety so that they would not get caught in the crossfire. Meanwhile the Lionel was in the air and was surrounded by several Siegfrieds that were piloted by the cybernetic defunct Purist Faction members with Kewell leading against Zero. In the cockpit of the Lionel, Lelouch was looking around seeing that he was surrounded and was frustrated.
"Annoying interference," Lelouch said.
Outside, the Siegfried piloted by Kewell moved forward a bit.
"Zero, this is the end for you," Kewell said with glee, "we will finally have our vengeance against you."
"Lord Kewell, shall we end this?" One of the cyborgs asked.
"Yes, let's do this," Kewell said, "We shall put an end to Zero."
The Lionel quickly shot a round from its VARIS Rifle and struck one of the Siegfrieds which caught them off by surprise. The Lionel then followed up by charging and struck another Siegfried with its MVS Claiomh Solais. The others retaliated by shooting their Slash Harkens at the Lionel but the Lionel was able to dodge and deflect the Slash Harkens aiming towards the black lion headed Knightmare Frame.
"Damn you," Kewell spoke angrily.
"I won't go down so easily," Lelouch declared.
In the cockpit of the Siegfrieds, Kewell clenched his teeth but kept focus.
"Don't let him fool you," Kewell said, "There's only one of him and more of us. We can do this. We can defeat Zero!"
In the cockpit of the Lionel, Lelouch glared at the Siegfrieds and then he pushed buttons on his console to contact some people.
"It's me," Lelouch said.
Tokyo
The Black Knights led by Todoh and the Four Holy Swords were getting pushed back by the Britannian forces but they were still keeping their stand and didn't fall back.
"Don't lose your ground!" Todoh shouted, "We can still make it through! Give them everything we got! We will not repeat the lost seven years ago!"
Meanwhile ground troops were making their way to the HiTV Studio and the Black Knights there saw them coming. They nodded at each other and one of them went to inform Diethard. Not long, Diethard was giving the news of the Britannian ground troops' arrival.
"Understood, we'll make our move," Diethard said, "we've already completed the task here."
"You got it," One of the Black Knights said with a nod.
"Let's go," Diethard said.
Ashford Academy
Suzaku was in the cockpit of the Lancelot trying to get it to move even though he knew that it was a pointless effort. Suzaku looked and saw Euphie and Void talking to each other and Euphie nodded and went on her way. Suzaku shouted Euphie's name begging her to not go and to come back. Suzaku then saw a vehicle and came entered the campus and someone came out of it and it was Rakshata and her R&D Team. Rakshata looked on and grinned.
"Oh my look at this," Rakshata said and then turned to Void, "Void, is this for me?"
"It sure is," Void replied amused, "You can do whatever you want."
"Oh thank you my dear," Rakshata said happily.
In the cockpit, Suzaku was shocked.
"You've got to be kidding me," Suzaku said not liking with what was going on.
He was soon witnessing several members of the Black Knights' R&D Team with their equipment.
"I'm curious of how the Earl of Pudding's toy tick so we'll be dissecting it and taking it apart," Rakshata said smoking her pipe.
"No, you can't do that!" Suzaku yelled.
Meanwhile Kallen was rushing and heading somewhere.
"Kallen," Alice called, "Are you going to help him?"
"Yes I am," Kallen replied, "I'm the Captain of his Guard, his knight so I need to go and help him."
"Okay, please be careful," Alice said, "both you and him."
"I will, thank you Alice," Kallen said with a nod, "please go and assure her that I will protect her brother."
"I will," Alice said with a nod.
Kallen rushed out and then she outside of the campus and went to a direction. Not long afterwards, something was moving up as it started to ascend and it was Guren Mk. II. In the cockpit of the red Knightmare, Kallen was determined.
"Hang on Lelouch," Kallen said, "I'll be right there."
Meanwhile Euphie arrived one of the classroom and she looked around and was surprised that no one was here and the only she saw were hanging handcuffs from the two desk seats.
"What the…?" Euphie spoke confused, "Where are they? How did they—"
"Get free?" A male voice asked, "Oh I released them and let them go."
Euphie was surprised and she turned and around and there was VV standing there with a smile.
"A child?" Euphie spoke.
"Hello Euphemia," VV greeted.
Meanwhile in the gym, Naoto and his crew were still facing off against Villetta and the Ashford Academy's teachers.
"It sounds like Kururugi didn't succeed what he set out to do," Villetta said, "not only that, it seems that Void is here as well."
"What an absolute disgrace," Mrs. Crane said.
"Well sucks for him," Sugiyama commented.
"Regardless you all have no way out of this so give yourselves up," Villetta said turning her attention to the group of Black Knights she was facing, "if you any of you move, I will shoot you."
"Is this how it's going to be?" Sugiyama asked.
"No, it does not," A male voice said suddenly.
The voice surprised Villetta and the teachers with her and something suddenly struck Villetta's handgun causing Villetta to lose grip of her weapon and dropped on the floor. The others were surprised again and then two people suddenly appeared before Villetta and the teachers and it was Sayoko with a kunai in her hand and Jeremiah. Villetta was shocked to see Jeremiah.
"L-Lord Jeremiah," Villetta spoke.
"Villetta," Jeremiah said.
"Jeremiah Gottwald?" One of the male teachers spoke.
"Why is Orange here?" The male PE teacher asked shocked.
"That woman…" Mrs. Crane said, "you… you're that maid."
Sayoko responded by bowing to the teachers.
"It's good to see you all are well," Sayoko said.
"So you're part of the Black Knights as well," Mrs. Crane said.
"I am," Sayoko responded, "which means I will not allow any of you to get in the way of my comrades."
"Naoto, you and the others get out of here," Jeremiah suggested, "we'll keep them in bay here."
"Thanks Jeremiah," Naoto replied.
"Thank you as well Sayoko," Inoue said.
"It is our pleasure," Sayoko said with a smile.
"We are after all knights of justice," Jeremiah said with a smile, "loyal to our lord and lady."
"Heh, that's one way to put it," Ohgi said.
"Of course," Minami said.
"You know Jeremiah, you're all right," Tamaki said with a grin.
"Sayoko, thank you so much," Yoshida said.
"Let's move," Naoto said.
Naoto and his crew left the gym and when Villetta tried to go after them she was stopped by Jeremiah. Villetta frowned and then she looked at Jeremiah feeling betrayed by someone she respected.
"Lord Jeremiah, I don't understand," Villetta said, "why have you joined with the Black Knights? Why have you joined Zero and Void, especially Zero, the same person who damaged your reputation and destroyed your credibility?"
"I have my reasons," Jeremiah said, "I will continue as I now serve Lord Zero and Lady Void."
"Lord Zero?" Villetta replied, "Lady Void?" Villetta narrowed her eyes at Jeremiah, "Jeremiah, you…"
In the air
Lelouch was able to keep up and stand against the several Siegfrieds that were piloted by Kewell and the other members of the defunct Purist Faction and he took down one of the Siegfrieds using the VARIS Rifle and then took down another one by slashing it with the MVS Claiomh Solais. The cyborgs were frustrated that they still couldn't eliminate Zero and were shocked that Zero defeated two of their colleagues.
"How is he still standing against us?" One of the cyborgs said.
"This is not how he said that it would go," Another cyborg said.
"He you say?" Zero asked, "Who is this he you mention?"
"That is not your concern Zero," Kewell said, "in fact it does not even matter because you—"
There was sudden flash and it caught them as well as Zero surprised and one of the Siegfrieds was taken down. This shocked the remaining ones including Kewell and they saw that it was the Guren that was piloted by Kallen.
"Sorry for the wait Zero," Kallen said, "but don't worry, your Captain of your own personal guard is here to assist you."
In the cockpit of the Lionel, Lelouch was amazed and pleased to see Kallen. He opened communication between himself and Kallen and Kallen smiling seeing Lelouch.
"Kallen, I'm glad you're here," Lelouch said.
"I'm glad to be here by your side," Kallen replied happily.
"What about what's going on in Ashford?" Lelouch asked.
"Not to worry Lelouch," Kallen assured, "Yes Suzaku did show up to try to take Euphie but he was stopped with the Gefjun Disturbers. We can thank Minami, Sugiyama, and Tamaki for the idea."
"I see, so they were the ones that came up with the idea," Lelouch replied as he was pleased but then he frowned when he saw something, "oh… Kallen, it looks like we don't have any more time to chat."
"Yeah I see," Kallen replied.
Outside, the Guren and Lionel looked and the three Siegfrieds that were brought down floated by up although they were damaged.
"You can't eliminate us that easily," Kewell said, "it would have normally been the end if we still had our regular bodies but with these bodies, we can go as many times as we need."
"That can change," Lelouch replied.
"I'm impressed that you can still hold against these odds Zero!" A male voice said, "But then again, I would find it disappointing if you actually couldn't!"
They were shocked to hear the voice and in the cockpit of the Lionel, Lelouch was wide eyed as he recognized the voice.
"No, it can't be…" Lelouch said.
The black Knightmare suddenly showed up and in the cockpit, Bismarck smiled seeing the Lionel.
"It's been a long time," Bismarck said, "the last time was eight years ago hasn't it my former pupil."
Outside, the other Knightmares looked at the Knightmare that was piloted by Bismarck.
"I knew it, it is you," Zero upset, "but why? Why are you here Bismarck?"
"Bismarck?" Kallen asked, "Wait, Zero, is this…?"
"Bismarck Waldstein, one of the Knights of the Round of Britannia," Zero said, "currently leads the Knights of the Round as the Knight of One, the strongest knight of all the empire… possibly the strongest knight ever produced in all the years since the existence of Britannia's Knights of the Round."
In the cockpit of the Lionel, Lelouch was wide eyed and shaking as he clenched his teeth seeing the Knightmare and hearing the voice of one of his former teachers.
"Of all the rotten luck," Lelouch said upset as he was still shaking, "Things might have just gotten worse. It seems that I may to go through with it after all."
Schneizel's Flagship
In the bridge, Schneizel as well as Kanon were informed the developments that had just occurred by one of crew members in the bridge.
"Lord Bismarck Waldstein, the Knight of One is currently facing the Lionel that is piloted by Zero," One of the crew members said.
"I see," Schneizel said.
"Do you think we should leave it to him?" Kanon asked.
"Even if I didn't want to, I don't have the authority over him," Schneizel said, "after all he is one of the Knights of the Round who answers only to His Majesty. It's the same with Nonette and Jarvis. The only reason Jarvis is aiding me is because His Majesty has expressively allowed it."
"Of course," Kanon said, "speaking of Jarvis, it seems he is close of getting to Kururugi however it seems that Kururugi has been captured in the Black Knights' trap at that school."
"So once again he just rushes without thinking things through," Schneizel said with a frown, "no matter, he is through."
"Earl Asplund and Miss Croomy are making their way as well," Kanon added.
"Of course," Schneizel said, "still what about my sister Euphie? That is who I am still concerned for. Is she still safe?"
Schneizel thought about Euphie and was worried for his half-sister.
Ashford Academy
Euphie was facing VV in one of the classroom.
"Um so… what is a little boy like you doing here?" Euphie asked, "Are you lost?"
"Oh no, I assure you that I'm not lost," VV replied amused, "I actually came to see you Euphemia."
"Me?" Euphie replied back, "Um, why?"
"It must have been real hard for you," VV said, "creating that Special Zone only for it to be destroyed by Pluton agents and you being blamed for it. You sure are lucky that Zero, Void, and the Black Knights came back when they did and proved your innocence. It would have been a real shame for you otherwise."
Euphie looked at VV and was no longer confused as she was before and looked at him with a serious expression.
"Yes it would have which is something that you actually would have wanted," Euphie said narrowing her eyes at the immortal child Code Bearer, "considering that you were the mastermind behind it all… isn't that right VV?"
VV was surprised and then he was amused.
"Oh my, you actually do know who I am," VV said.
Euphie was shaking looking at the VV as she was upset.
"You orchestrated that massacre at the Special Zone and tried to frame me as a terrorist and the zone as a terrorist haven," Euphie said upset, "I want to know why? Why did you do this?"
"You want to know why?" VV asked in a condescending tone, "I wonder, would a spoiled sheltered brat like you be able to comprehend the reasoning for my actions?"
"What is that supposed to mean?" Euphie responded feeling offending in what VV called her and the tone he took.
"You're just a naïve stupid girl who doesn't understand how the world really is," VV said looking at Euphie with disgust, "You're a disgrace, an embarrassment and a burden."
"How dare you!" Euphie responded upset.
"Your naïve talks and actions just make me sick," VV said with disdain, "To put simply, your actions would just lead things and people astray and not for the good and once again it's always women especially ones like you who do so."
Euphie clenched her teeth upset, "Is that the same reason you gave when you killed Lady Marianne eight years ago?"
VV was shocked to hear what Euphie said.
"What did you just say?" VV asked surprised.
"On that night eight years ago at the Aries Villa in Pendragon," Euphie said, "you paid Lady Marianne a visit for what was thought to be a simple meeting between you two but you actually went there to kill her and tried to make it look like the work of terrorists. I can't understand why my father is shielding you since it was no secret that he favored Lady Marianne out all of the other consorts including my mother… but I guess it has to be just because you two are brothers. Yes I know that you are actually Vincent zi Britannia, my father's older twin brother. In other words, you're actually my uncle."
VV looked at Euphie and was not amused and stared at her with a cold stare.
"Hmm, is that so?" VV responded, "I don't how you found out although I do have my guesses of who told you but I know one thing for sure. You Euphemia are just like Lelouch and Nunnally who are Zero and Void, you're a nuisance and you need to die before you cause and start anymore irritation not just for me but for Charles. Afterwards, Lelouch and Nunnally will be dealt with as well. I have to kill them like I should have done eight years ago."
"Just tell me one more thing," Euphie said.
"What?" VV responded annoyed.
"Were you the one that told Suzaku that was I was in danger and that I would be killed by Zero and/or staying with the Black Knights?" Euphie asked.
"Very perceptive… yeah, it was me," VV admitted, "You were supposed to die in the ensuring chaos of the destruction of the zone by Pluton agents but now I'm doing this. When Suzaku Kururugi learns that you died, he will assume it was done by the Black Knights and his hatred for the Black Knights, for Zero and Void will ramp up further," VV sported a sadistic glee, "It will result of Kururugi resorting in going on a killing spree and he and Lelouch will end up killing each other in the end."
"This is your reason for doing all this?" Euphie spoke upset, "Is that what you actually want?"
"To be honest, it wasn't hard to convince Suzaku Kururugi," VV pointed out with a shrug, "it's funny if you think about it. His resentment towards those who he deems are obstacles to his goals makes it real easy to manipulate him and too bad for you that not even you yourself will be able to convince him otherwise."
"You deceived Suzaku for your own ends," Euphie said upset, "how many people will you use for your selfish ends?"
"That's enough out of you," VV said as he pulled out his own handgun and pointed at Euphie much to her surprise, "it's time for you to die to help with my plans."
"That's not going to happen," A female voice said suddenly.
VV was surprised and three people were suddenly behind him and it was Sancia, Lucretia, and Dalque. When VV turned around, he was quickly punched in the face by Dalque and was sent flying dropping his handgun and hitting the wall and fell on the floor. VV was feeling pain from his face being punched and he looked and saw the three girls.
"You three," VV said with a growl.
"Hello Director," Sancia greeted.
Lucretia picked up VV's gun and stood behind Sancia while Dalque cracked her knuckles ready to give VV another punch to the face. VV held the spot on his face where he was punched and was wide eyed at the fact that the three girls were standing against him.
"You would betray me?" VV said looking a bit insane, "You three would dare do the same thing as Alice and betray me? Have you forgotten who you owe your lives to?"
"Euphemia, are you all right?" Sancia asked.
"Yes I'm fine," Euphie said with a nod feeling relieved, "thank you so much."
"I'm glad we got here when we did," Lucretia said smiling, "You can thank Void and Alice for sending us."
"I see," Euphie said, "thank goodness."
"Now then," Dalque said as she turned to VV, "You're trapped. We got you. We caught you and your heinous scheme has failed."
"Leave him to us Euphemia," Sancia suggested, "we'll deal with him."
"Okay, thank you," Euphie said.
Euphie left the classroom quickly and VV was shaking as he was livid as this was not how things were supposed to go. VV wanted one of his brother's children dead for his agenda against two of Charles's other two children.
In the air
Lelouch was fighting against the Knightmare Frame that was piloted by his former teacher, the Knight of One Bismarck Waldstein and the Knightmare that Bismarck piloted had a MVS in both hands. Lelouch was actually struggling to keep up with his former teacher while Kallen was taking on the Siegfrieds. Kewell in the cockpit of one of the Siegfrieds clenched his teeth and pushed a button to speak to Bismarck.
"Sir Waldstein, let us assist you in taking down Zero," Kewell suggested.
"You will do no such thing!" Bismarck responded.
"What?" Kewell responded back shocked.
"Zero is my prey," Bismarck said, "In fact, it would be best if you 'soldiers' left the battlefield."
"Sir Waldstein, what are you saying?" Kewell asked not liking what the Knight of One was implying.
"I'm saying that you're neither needed nor wanted," Bismarck replied, "I'm saying that you disgraced soldiers have no business being here. Leave immediately!"
"But we have our orders," Kewell pointed out.
"Yes by someone who has gone against His Majesty's wishes," Bismarck replied back, "Your best bet would be to leave right now. If you refuse and insist in trying to take down Zero, my target, I will cut you all down myself."
"But there will be consequence if we disobey our orders now," Kewell said.
"If I were you right now, I'd be less worried about disobeying this order and more of what I will do to you if you don't leave immediately!" Bismarck threatened.
The Lionel suddenly charged to strike Bismarck's Knightmare but Bismarck easily saw the attack coming and easily blocked the Lionel's attack. Bismarck turned his attention to Zero.
"Zero, not even close," Bismarck said, "I taught you better than that."
Bismarck then followed up by piloting his Knightmare push back the Lionel and with a lightning speed swing, cut off the Lionel's left arm that was holding VARIS Rifle.
"Damn!" Zero yelled seeing what just happened.
"Zero!" Kallen screamed scared to see what was happening.
Kallen piloted her Guren to help Zero by rushing towards Bismarck yelling at him to stay the hell from Zero and used her Knightmare's silver arm to attack Bismarck's Knightmare but Bismarck countered with speed and used his Knightmare's MVS to sever the Guren's Silver Arm. This shocked Kallen as she just now lost her Knightmare's primary weapon and in the cockpit of the Lionel, Lelouch was shocked and clenched his teeth in anger.
"Kallen!" Lelouch said, "Dammit, this is bad."
The cyborgs saw this as an opportunity and decided to move in to attack the Lionel and the Guren but Bismarck piloted his Knightmare again and with lightning speed, the black Knightmare slashed all the Siegfrieds and caused them to be extremely damaged and they all fell from the sky. They screamed and Kewell asked why. In Bismarck's cockpit, the Knight of One looked at them with disdain.
"What did I tell them?" Bismarck spoke, "Now then…"
Bismarck turned his Knightmares to face the Lionel and the Guren. In the cockpit of the Lionel, Lelouch clenched his teeth in frustration and he decided on something and contacted Kallen.
"Kallen, do you read?" Lelouch contacted.
"Yes Lelouch, I hear you," Kallen said on the other line.
"Kallen, I need you to be calm when I tell you something," Lelouch said and then he had a sad expression, "please hear me out."
"What is it?" Kallen replied sounding nervous.
In the cockpit of the Guren, Kallen was listening to what Lelouch was saying and she was wide eyed in what Lelouch said and she shook her head not liking it.
"No, Lelouch," Kallen said, "Please don't do this."
Back in the cockpit of the Lionel, Lelouch had sad expression.
"I'm sorry Kallen but this needs to be done," Lelouch said, "we talked about this."
Lelouch looked and saw the Knightmare that Bismarck was piloting charge forward to him.
Ashford Academy
On campus, the Lancelot was inoperable and the R&D team of the Black Knights was ready to do their own work on it as Rakshata was in glee overseeing it. In the cockpit of the Lancelot, Suzaku was screaming and demanding that they stop and was upset that things kept happening that he did not like. Meanwhile at another area, Void and Alice were met up by Naoto and his team and Rai met up with them as well.
"Got word that Euphie is safe," Rai said.
"Thank goodness," Void said feeling relieved, "those girls really did pull through."
"I'm glad to hear that but I should have gone with her," Rai said feeling regret.
"Euphie was insistent that she could handle it on her own," Void said, "I wanted to at least respect my sister's wish."
"But still we didn't expect VV to show up," Rai said.
"Do you think he planned this?" Alice asked.
"It's most likely," Rai said.
"That is one creepy person," Tamaki said and then turned to Nunnally, "you're actually related to that… kid… or immortal person?"
"Yes I am," Void replied, "unfortunately."
"Everyone," Euphie spoke.
The others turned to Euphie and were glad to see her.
"Euphie, thank goodness," Void said.
"Yes I'm okay," Euphie said, "and thank you for sending those three to help me."
"I'm sorry that you had to endure being confronted by VV," Rai said feeling regret as he went close to Euphie, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have let you go on your own especially since you were still targeted."
"Rai please," Euphie said as she shook her head, "I wanted to try on my own. Please don't blame yourself."
"Still…" Rai said sadly.
"I am sorry though," Euphie said sadly, "those boys got away. VV helped them escape."
"There's no need to worry," A female voice said.
They turned to see that it was CC.
"CC?" Void asked.
"I had already captured those boys and placed them in custody," CC said.
"I see," Euphie said, "thank you CC."
"Not a problem," CC said and then had a serious expression, "but now we have a serious problem."
"Is something wrong?" Naoto asked.
"It's Lelouch, I sense that he is in danger," CC said with worry.
"You mean those cyborgs are more trouble?" Ohgi asked concerned.
"No, it's not the cyborgs," CC said, "It's someone much worse."
The others were surprised.
"CC…" Void said.
"He's not the only one facing a dangerous foe," A female voice said.
The others were shocked and Void quickly saw something and rushed through and pushed CC out of the way and her mask got hit with a bullet.
"Void!" Alice yelled as she panicked.
Alice, Rai, and Euphie rushed to Void's side and the female masked leader of the Black Knights stood up straight.
"Void, hey, are you alright?" Tamaki asked as he panicked.
"Void," Naoto said concerned and then he got angry and turned to the person who shot Void, "Damn Nonette!"
The other looked and saw Nonette who gave a cold stare and Villetta was actually with her.
"Villetta," Euphie said.
"I finally was able to get to you," Villetta said.
Milly and Shirley ran over when they heard noise and asked if everyone was alright and they stopped as they were surprised and in horror to see what was happening. Void's mask started to crack and it broke in half revealing Nunnally's face. Villetta stepped forward and was surprised seeing Nunnally's face.
"So it is true," Villetta said, "it really was you. All this time, trying to figure out the identities of the Zero and Void and it was you," Villetta glared at Nunnally, "now I understand why Jeremiah was so insistent in joining you and talking about his loyalty to you," Villetta pointed at Nunnally, "Nunnally Lamperouge, a student of Ashford Academy… no, I should really refer to you as the former 6th Princess who was the 89th heir to the throne of Britannia, Nunnally vi Britannia."
Nunnally glared at Villetta and then she turned to Nonette.
"You have two choices Nunna," Nonette said with a cold tone and expression, "turned yourself over to me willfully or I make you suffer, kill all your loyal friends and allies and then force you to come with me. It's your call and right now, your dear brother Lelouch is dealt with by Bismarck."
Nunnally was shocked and wide eyed, "Wait, did you say Bismarck? He's here?"
"Yes he is," Nonette said, "your father, His Majesty is tired of the games that you two are playing," Nonette then turned to Euphie, "Euphie, that includes you as well."
"Nonette," Euphie said angry at the Knight of Nine.
Naoto and his team along with Rai and Alice stood by Nunnally and Euphie and CC looked on and narrowed her eyes.
"So this is what Charles is up to now," CC said.
"Oh right," Villetta said looking at CC, "you're to be taken into custody as well. With this, I'll be rewarded, right Lady Enneagram?"
"Yes, yes, just like Jarvis promised you," Nonette said, "you've done well Nu."
"Where's Jeremiah?" Nunnally asked, "And where's Sayoko? If you hurt them…"
"I won't allow this!" A male voice boomed over the air, "You stay away!"
They were surprised and they looked over to where the source of the voice came from. It actually came from Lloyd who was speaking over the intercom as the Avalon arrived and hovered over Ashford Academy. In the cockpit of the Lancelot, Suzaku was surprised to see the Avalon. A red Knightmare came by and it rolled and stopped near the Lancelot forcing Rakshata and her team to retreat. The red Knightmare turned around and faced the Lancelot.
"You've gotten yourself in deep trouble Kururugi," A male voice said.
"That voice," Suzaku said, "is that you Sir Trenton?"
"It is," Jarvis said.
In the cockpit of the red Knightmare, Jarvis looked on seeing the Lancelot and observed the physical state of the white Knightmare Frame.
"Oh my, the Lancelot does not look in good shape," Jarvis said.
"Sir Trenton…" Suzaku spoke.
"Suzaku Kururugi, I knew you were foolish but this is just bad," Suzaku said, "but anyway Kururugi, are you curious to know why I'm here?"
"I… guess I am," Suzaku said nervously.
"Then go ahead and ask me," Jarvis said, "Ask why am I here?"
"Um okay," Suzaku obliged, "Sir Trenton, why are you here?"
"I'm glad you ask," Jarvis said, "the reason that I'm here… is to place you under arrest."
"What?" Suzaku responded shocked.
"Don't what me boy," Jarvis responded strongly, "You knew what you were doing was wrong. You have boldly disobeyed orders from Prince Schneizel therefore by his request I am placing you under arrest for violating military orders."
In the cockpit of the Lancelot, Suzaku was wide eyed in what he was told and he had his head down as he clenched his teeth in sadness.
"Make it easier on yourself Kururugi and comply," Jarvis said, "refuse and it's just going to be worse for you."
There was another noise that suddenly happened and people at the campus wondered what was going on now. They all got their answer when something was moving up from one of the buildings. The one that was coming up was the Ganymede and was it being controlled by Nina. Nina looked on with a determined expression.
"You're all here," Nina said, "all in the same place. You will pay for this. Finally, I will make my move and end the pretenders and the enemies and the traitors."
Kamine Island
Something was coming to the island and it was something that was flying and was severely damaged and it was the Lionel as it has lost both arms. The Lionel made it and crashed in the island. Lelouch came out of the cockpit of the island and looked at his Lionel seeing it how extremely damaged it has become. Lelouch looked and placed his hand on the Knightmare he himself created with the help of Rakshata.
"I'm sorry Lionel," Lelouch said sadly and then he had a look of determination, "But so be it, I will do this."
Lelouch went in his cockpit and picked something up and it was a sheathed katana. He then went on his way to go where he wanted to go and later on, the Knightmare piloted by Bismarck was making his way to Kamine Island as well. In the cockpit, Bismarck was determined.
"I see," Bismarck said, "so you want to face me on this island. Okay Prince Lelouch, I have no problem respecting your wish. You are free to choose where you want to lose."
That's it for this chapter. Next chapter: Crazy attempts to get enemies and movements to get to their goals.
