The Daughter of Zero
Chapter 9: Rescuing the Glinda Knights
In the Sky…
A Britannian plane was heading to the Kingdom of Zilkhstan.
Inside the jet were Cecile, Lloyd, Jeremiah and Anya with Toto (Oldrin's handmaid) and Schnee Hexen.
Schnee was a young man with short, slicked-back blond hair and blue eyes. He wore a military uniform consisted of white pants and a light blue coat with the same golden emblem as the Knights of the Round have on the upper part of the left sleeve. He also wore the black gloves and boots along with a blue cape worn over one shoulder and held in place by a golden braid.
"Must we really jump?!"Lloyd whined nervously.
Sayoko finished placing on Lloyd's parachute backpack on his back.
The maid wore a metal headband, shoulder plates and knee guards along with the rest of her ninja attire.
"Please brace yourself, Dr Lloyd."Sayoko declared.
Anya rolled her eyes at Lloyd's cowardly behaviour.
"Is he always like this?"Anya scoffed.
"I'm afraid so, Lady Anya."Cecile giggled.
Jeremiah looked at Toto, who walked forward and held a iPad in her hands.
"So Empress Marrybell and the Glinda Knights were taken to the Zilkhstan's royal palace after their ambushed, Miss Thompson?"Jeremiah asked.
"That maybe be possible, Lord Jeremiah."Toto exclaimed and looked at her iPad."But it could also be some hidden base that is hidden somewhere in the Land of Warriors."
Schnee brought his attention on Anya.
"Wouldn't it be best to travel to the Kingdom of Zilkhstan in the usual way?"Schnee suggested.
"No way."Anya said with a smirk."That will be too boring and obvious."
Schnee lightly chuckled at Anya's respond.
"You are simply well too known, Anya."Schnee remarked.
"Is that a bad thing?"Anya questioned.
Schnee's face flushed at Anya's question.
"That's not what I meant."Schnee responded.
Toto then got contacted by the pilot of the plane on her ear headpiece.
"We're approaching the drop-off zone!"the pilot reported.
"That's your queue, everyone!"Toto informed.
Then the main hatch of the plane opened as Anya, Jeremiah, Sayoko (who held Lloyd) and Cecile held their breaths.
"We'll see you all later!"Anya remarked.
"Anya!"Schnee called out."Good hunting to you!"
"Thanks, Schnee!"Anya thanked.
Anya, Jeremiah, Sayoko and Cecile all jumped off the plane as Lloyd cried out like a little girl despite being held by the ninja maid.
Meanwhile…
Milly was at a landing platform in the Kingdom of Zilkhstan as a helicopter was heading to where she was.
"This is Milly Ashford here, reporting live from the famous Land of Warriors, the Kingdom of Zilkhstan!"Milly reported.
The helicopter landed in the landing platform causing Shesthaal Forgnar to come out followed by a couple of soldiers.
Shesthaal was a tall man with long curly olive hair and green eyes. He was a captain belonging to Queen Shamna's Elite Guard.
"Speaking with us today is the Captain of the Royal Guard, Shesthaal."Milly stated and brought the microphone close to Shesthaal."The other day, an incident occurred at that Hashvess Camp, they're calling it the Hashvess Puzzle. Can you tell us the disappearances of Empress Marrybell including the Glinda Knights?"
Shesthaal flicked his hair before responding to the TV Reporter.
"Nothing new I'm afraid."Shesthaal responded."The area she was taken is bordered by other four nations as well as our Zilkhstan. So our search is no simple matter…"
In the Kingdom of Zilkhstan…
Lelouch, Kallen and their two companions from an alternative timeline arrived at Zilkhstan in the break of dawn using false IDs.
The group eventually met up with C.C in the apartment she was staying.
Lelouch carefully lifted up a curtain to check the view outside, seeing people going on with their daily lives.
The former prince's amethyst eyes narrowed before slowly closing the curtain and making his way where his companions were.
"Lelouch, help me spread out the sofreh."Bertie insisted.
"Sure."Lelouch responded.
Lelouch and Bertie placed the sofreh on the floor as Kallen and Sabrina helped C.C prepare a delicious array of local cuisine for them and their companions to enjoy.
Lelouch wore a cotton blue sleeveless jacket that had black linings with yellow crescent moon designs on them over a red buttoned shirt that had lavender sleeves on it, mint green trousers and brown shoes. There was a lavender sash around his waist.
Kallen wore a long sleeved yellow jacket that had orange flame designs on the shoulders and orange lines at the end of its sleeves with a white ruffle shirt which left her belly button exposed. Underneath she had a long layered yellow orange skirt with a forest green layer and had a white sash with yellow lining wrapped above it. There was a gold bracelet on her right wrist. There were matching gold bracelets below her legs and on her feet were orange flats. Around her neck was a green string necklace with three tiny gold beads on it that had her late brother's red headband attached behind her head and her crimson red was styled in its usual spiky style.
Sabrina wore a a white and blue cropped top with baggy detached sleeves and gold details going from her cuffs to her upper arms paired with a patterned dark blue skirt held together with a large blue bow adorned with a blue ornament. Her long skirt was decorated with numerous trinkets, tassels, blue gems, and fabrics with varying intricate designs. On her legs, she wore a gold trinket on her left thigh and gold strapped knee-high gladiator sandals with medium heels. Her crimson red hair appeared to be shoulder-length in front though the rest goes past her hips at the back. She sported a long white veil with blue embroidery stylised with gold and black lotus flowers, golden tassels and a gold head accessory that somewhat resembled a crown.
Bertie wore a small blue open vest with a white t-shirt that covered his chest, long puffy light grey pants and black flats. There was a sapphire gem on his forehead, connected to the short white turban on his head.
Soon the cuisine dishes were ready and served in the sofreh rug.
"Go ahead and eat whatever you like."C.C insisted.
Lelouch ate a dim-sum dumpling causing a smile to grow on his face at its surprising yet delicious taste.
Sabrina slurped down a couple of buckwheat noddles as Bertie quietly a bit of rice and beef from the bowl he held.
"It's surprising that you actually know how to cook, Aunt Candida."Sabrina chuckled."I was expecting for you to make orders from Pizza Hut."
C.C smiled at Sabrina.
"I guess you can say I'm full of surprises."C.C complemented.
Kallen rolled her eyes as she drank a bottle of fruit beer.
"I take it that you heard of Empress Marrybell's kidnapping, Pizza Girl?"Kallen questioned.
C.C sat on her knees before she took a sip from her chamomile tea.
"That's right."C.C agreed with a nod."Also that this is a plot caused by these new enemies known as the Keepers of the Order."
Lelouch frowned after eating another dumpling.
"What's worse they're able to go back in time just like Sabrina."Lelouch declared.
"Also, they have Geass of their own like the Kingdom of Zilkhstan."Sabrina retorted.
Kallen let out a sigh.
"Well, this is really annoying."Kallen scowled as she munched on a piece of lamp meat."You and Lelouch wiped out the Geass Order, Rina. But yet somehow there are now more dangerous people out there with that power."
Sabrina looked at Kallen.
"Believe it or not, Geass had actually been around since the beginning of time, mummy."Sabrina complemented."It is granted to people whether they want to bring peace or chaos in the world. No matter who or where they are from. Whether they're good or evil."
Kallen ate a bit more of curry as Lelouch spoke again.
"What we know so far, their main goal is to wipe out the entire members of the Holy Britannian Empire."Lelouch retorted in suspicion."So there's a likely chance that the Keepers of the Order are people with absolute grudges."
"That could be for a number of things."Kallen informed.
"Yes, Kallen."Lelouch responded with a nod, agreeing with his wife."The members of the royal family had always the same habit on in powering the strong and reigning over the weak. But I'm no different from them-"
"Don't say that, Lelouch."Kallen retorted."You wanted to make a better world for all of us."
"Yeah, but that happened because Sabrina came to the rescue."Lelouch reminded and looked down."If she didn't, Schneizel and Suzaku would've gotten their way while I ended my life with the world's hatred focused on me."
Sabrina swallowed a piece of salmon before speaking to her father.
"Dad. Now that I think about you dying after creating peace right afterwards is like leaving behind all of your responsibilities to everyone else and expecting them to handle it, which is both irresponsible and short-sighted in the fact that you didn't think about problems that could arise in the future."Sabrina exclaimed in a firm yet grim tone."No matter how many ways that peace in the world is brought, there is always going to be corruption and hatred existing. It's like Ying and Yang. Without either of them, everything in the universe goes out of balance."
Lelouch, Kallen, C.C and Bertie looked at Sabrina with surprised expressions.
"Wow."Kallen commented."That was pretty wise, Sabrina."
"Never expected you to be the sagacious type."C.C replied.
"Hey. That's what my grandmother said about her garden."Bertie remarked."Life is like Ying and Yang. You have to be impatient in striving the life you want. But be patient enough to give time to allow your seeds to grow into flowers and blossom."
Lelouch gives his future daughter a sad smile.
"I never thought of that. So obvious that there will always be problems and it was foolish of me to think that there won't be anymore after making the world hate me."Lelouch commented with a hint of guilt."I'm sorry that I've put you, Kallen, Nunnally and others through so much pain, Sabrina."
"It's okay, dad."Sabrina assured kindly."But anyway, I rather look forward instead of looking back on what happened in the past."
Bertie looked at Lelouch.
"And you can make miracles happen, Lelouch."Bertie admitted brightly."You're Zero. The man who creates miracles."
Lelouch became quiet at Bertie's respond.
That was true.
He was Lelouch vi Britannia, also known as Zero, the hero who liberated Japan and brought peace to the world.
"You're right, Bertie."Lelouch agreed and smiled."That is who I am."
Lelouch ruffled Bertie's hair before placing the turban back on his head as Kallen and Sabrina smiled at the sight.
C.C brought his attention on Bertie.
"So what is your story, Bertie?"C.C asked."You are 40 years from the future in Sabrina's timeline. Can you tell us a bit about your timeline?"
"Believe it or not, the world seems very peaceful without a Zero."Bertie exclaimed, surprising his companions."Our sovereign's ruler despite having great power and rank has given us an age of prosperity when she greatly contributed to the wellbeing of the nations' economy."
Bertie's happy smile then vanished as he began to tremble and his hands began to shake uncontrollably.
"Then the Keepers of the Order came from out of no where, Miss C.C."Bertie declared with a hint of fear."One moment, I was with my family and then everything around me went into chaos. But then I saw a man. H-He was looking at me…and he was so scary. I felt like I was staring at death itself."
Bertie then began to tear up.
"I was so scared and my mummy gave me an advice that will send me back in time."Bertie cried."I didn't want to leave her, but instead I-"
Sabrina wiped away Bertie's tears, suprising him.
"Don't be afraid, Bertie."Sabrina assured."Trust me when I say, 'You're not alone.'"
"We'll find a way to defeat the Keepers of Order."Kallen vowed confidently."When that happens, you'll be back home before you even realise, kid."
"But you have to promise not to ever lose hope, no matter what happens."Lelouch instructed."Can you do that?"
Bertie placed a brave smile on his face and wiped away the tears in his eyes.
"Yes, I can, Zero."Bertie promised bravely.
"Good boy."Lelouch chuckled.
Lelouch, Kallen, Sabrina and Bertie continued enjoying their meals while C.C drank her cup of tea.
Outside…
Anya was in the bazaar area in the Kingdom of Zilkhstan.
The former Knight of Six acted like she was a civilian in the neighbourhood while in reality she was secretly looking for possible soldiers that belonged to Queen Shamna's Elite Guard.
She ate one of the apples that she bought as Lloyd contacted her on ear headpiece.
"Well, Mordred."Lloyd sneered, calling Anya by her codename which was the name of her Knightmare."It appears that you are eating."
"Just digging in with the crowd."Anya responded.
As Anya turned to look each side of the bazaar, she caught sight of Swail speaking to someone.
Swail was a tall brown haired man and gold eyes. He was wearing a blue long uniform vest with gold coloured trim over his black under shirt, loose sirwal pants and multiple gold collared piercings adorning his face. There was a light grey turban on his head.
"Check that one."Anya insisted quietly.
From the van that he and Cecile were staying at Lloyd scanned Swail to check information about him.
"Swail Qujappat: 29 years old. Captain of the Royal Guard's peace preservation unit."Lloyd read."He appears to have had an incident with the Europian Mafia. But~I'll spare you the details. But let's just say he has a colourful career. Not the sort of thing appropriate for someone entrusted with preserving the place."
"More then he seems than, huh?"Anya scoffed.
Anya munched on her apple as she glanced above the building which was Sayoko was hiding and then looked at a nearby alley behind her, where Jeremiah hid.
"This is Hornet."Sayoko reported."There are indications that they were taken to the temple and the prison."
"So this is 'Black', huh?"Jeremiah assumed.
Anya nodded at her adopted father.
In C.C's Apartment…
Kallen tucked Sabrina and Bertie to bed while Lelouch carefully glanced at the view outside once again.
Despite the cold chilly night air, the twinkling bright stars gave some comfort despite the high dangers in the Land of Warriors.
Kallen smirked at her husband.
"You're doing it again, Lelouch."Kallen sneered.
Lelouch let out a sigh as he walked away from the curtains.
"Sorry. I can't help it."Lelouch complemented and let out a slight chuckle."Guess it is part of my fatherly instincts. To look out for the possible danger approaching, so that he can warn his family to get to safety."
Kallen wrapped her arms around Lelouch's neck while his hands went around her waist bringing her close to him.
"Come on, Lelouch. Tell me."Kallen insisted."You act like this only if something is bothering you."
"I've been late having bad dreams."Lelouch admitted.
"Of what?"Kallen asked.
"A terrifying evil was released and the world ended because of it."Lelouch exclaimed.
"It was just a nightmare, Lelouch."Kallen assured.
Lelouch frowned."But it looked so real."
"That's what nightmares are, Lelouch."Kallen complemented."They show us our deepest fears and make us expect the worst to happen. You know my brother once told me this, 'There will always be nightmares. It's part of who we are. But when we face them, we can overcome, and be stronger for it'."
A soft smile appeared on Lelouch's face.
"Your brother really knew how to give good advice."Lelouch responded.
"Yeah."Kallen agreed with a melancholy smile."He always knew when to cheer me up when I needed him the most."
Lelouch and Kallen share a small yet passionate kiss, unaware that C.C had been listening to their conversation outside the room.
So had Sabrina who was actually awake the entire time.
Suddenly, a van parked near outside the hotel apartment causing Lelouch and Kallen to rush to the window to see who it was.
Then Zilkhstanian soldiers armed with guns came out from the back of the van.
"Zilkhstanian Soldiers."Lelouch muttered.
"They found us?"Kallen said in disbelief."But how did-"
C.C came into the room to warn the couple.
"They're not just soldiers."C.C commented as she placed missiles on her gun."They're assassins."
Shocked looks appeared on Lelouch and Kallen's faces.
"You two go out."Lelouch instructed, looking at Kallen and C.C."I got word from Sayoko that she and her group are already in the area."
"Are you sure, Lelouch?"Kallen asked.
"Go ahead, Q-1. I'll stay here to protect Sabrina and Bertie."Lelouch assured and pointed to his left eye."Don't worry. I got my own weapon."
Kallen nodded before she took out her knife and gun and following C.C out of the apartment.
Outside, Anya, Jeremiah and Sayoko (who was holding Lloyd) were running on a tight rope as the Zilkhstanian soldiers were attempting to shoot them from below.
"Goodness."Lloyd sneered."They must really mean to eliminate us."
"And this surprises you?"Jeremiah scowled.
Anya leapt off the tight rope and used her pistols to shoot three of the Zilkhstanian soldiers followed by Jeremiah, who used his pointy sharp blades to attack their enemies.
C.C and Kallen came out to aid their allies and fired their weapons at the Zilkhstanian soldiers.
Kallen dodged a soldier that attempted to shoot her. But in quick speed, she stabbed him on the chest and send a shot on his head, killing him immediately.
BOOM!
The sound of an illumination flare being send in the sky caused Lelouch to become shocked and quickly ducked down from being hit by shots that were firing at the window he stood.
Hearing that sound, Sabrina came out of the bed as Bertie woke up from his slumber and rubbed his eyes.
"What is going on?"Bertie asked.
"Trouble, Bertie."Sabrina retorted and went over to her father."Daddy, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Sabrina."Lelouch assured."But we can't stay here. We need to-"
"AHHHHH!"Bertie cried out.
Bertie screamed out in terror when he saw two Zilkhstanian soldiers in the entrance of the room.
Sabrina and Lelouch glanced in shock at seeing enemy soldiers that had their guns out to kill Lelouch and Sabrina.
But before the soldiers could fire at the former prince and his future daughter, a bright mint coloured bird-like symbol appeared on Bertie's left eye causing a big matching green shield to appear around him when he went in front to protect Lelouch and Sabrina from the soldiers' missiles.
Lelouch and Sabrina including the two soldiers were stunned at seeing Bertie having his own Geass.
Reacting quickly, Sabrina took out her hidden gun and shot a bullet that tore through the first soldier's head.
Sabrina then ran forward and kicked the second soldier in the balls, making him drop his gun in the process followed by being punched in the face.
Two more gunshots from Sabrina's gun and the second soldier went down as well though his wounds were less severe.
Sabrina headed out of the room, just in time to see a third Zilkhstanian soldier in the window, but appeared to be talking to someone.
"Yes, Your Highness."the third Zilkhstanian soldier responded."We found them and ready to-"
But before he could finish, Sabrina shot him through the hand and the window closed.
Lelouch rushed out of the room followed by Bertie, who held his hand while keeping his eyes shut.
The soldier dropped on his knees in pain as Sabrina walked forward while glaring down at him.
"Please no!"the third Zilkhstanian soldier begged."Don't kill me! I...I was just following orders from Queen Shamna!"
Hearing the soldier's respond, a glare appeared on Lelouch's face.
"Queen Shamna."Lelouch thought with a frown."So the Queen of Zilkhstan is the one behind the kidnapping of Marrybell and the Glinda Knights."
But before Lelouch could use his Geass on the soldier to question him, Sabrina fired and the soldier slumped over dead.
Even after that, Sabrina didn't stop, but continued to pump round after round into the dead body in burning rage.
"Sabrina!"Lelouch shouted."Stop it!"
Lelouch attempted to grab Sabrina's shoulders.
However, Bertie threw his arms around Sabrina's waist, who still continued to pull the trigger even after the clip was empty.
"Please just stop, Sabrina! It's okay!"Bertie assured."Me and Lelouch are still here! Everything's going to be okay!"
Gradually, Bertie felt Sabrina relax as she lowered the gun just as she noticed footsteps rushing towards them.
Lelouch prepared to activate his Geass to defend himself and his companions, but to his relief saw that it was Kallen and C.C along with Jeremiah, Sayoko, Anya and Lloyd.
"Are you three okay?!"Kallen demanded in worry."We heard gunshots!"
"We're fine, mum."Sabrina assured."Those psychos didn't touch us."
Jeremiah, Anya and Lloyd smiled at seeing Sabrina again.
"It's good to see you again, Lady Sabrina."Jeremiah remarked.
"You've grown taller."Anya commented.
"Hello, Uncle Jeremiah and Anya."Sabrina responded with a smile.
"My, my, so the rumours are true."Lloyd chuckled."The famous daughter of Zero had returned."
Lelouch, Sabrina and Bertie sweat dropped at seeing Sayoko carrying Lloyd.
"Hello, Mr Lloyd."Sabrina said with a slight wave."What are you doing here?"
Sayoko placed Lloyd down as he adjusted his glasses.
"We're here at His Highness Odysseus' request."Lloyd answered."We've come to find Empress Marrybell and the Glinda Knights. So far this country has been the most suspicious."
"Of course, we can't accuse anyone."Anya retorted."They'll complain if we don't have any proof and there'll be a diplomatic incident."
Lelouch frowned slightly at Anya's declaration.
"We have proof."Lelouch scowled."The first thing is that Queen Shamna is the one who ordered Marrybell and the Glinda Knights to be kidnapped."
"You mean the Queen and their so called High Priestess?"Kallen questioned.
"So the plan for the Kingdom of Zilkhstan to join the UFN was a sham and a trap to lure Aunt Marrybell and the Glinda Knights here."Sabrina scoffed.
"Not only that, yia!"Bertie spoke up, earning everyone's attention."They have Geass too!"
"And you are-"Jeremiah started.
"This is Bertie."Sabrina exclaimed, holding Bertie's shoulder with her her free hand."He is from my timeline, but from 40 years."
Shocked looks appeared on Jeremiah and Anya's faces while Lloyd looked completely amused.
"40 years, you say?"Lloyd sneered."Well, here is another mysterious piece added to our unsolved puzzle."
Kallen brought her attention on C.C.
"Then the Zilkhstanian soldiers are your people, C.C?"Kallen asked.
"I cut my ties with the Geass Order a long time ago and V.V's gone anyway."C.C declared.
"Then it is someone else who could've seized control of it."Lelouch stated and looked at Sayoko."Has Miss Cecile contacted Akito and the W-0 Squad, Sayoko?"
"Yes, Master Lelouch."Sayoko said with a nod."They're on their way. The same goes with Tohdoh, Chiba and Asahina."
C.C began making her way to the damaged entrance.
"So the only thing it is left is to-"C.C started.
Suddenly, someone fired at C.C with a couple of bullets from his automatic pistol, striking her in the head and chest.
The one of the automatic pistol revealed to be Swail.
"I guess, you were just some traveler."Swail sneered as he loaded another clip."I suppose your luck just ran out."
C.C collapsed on the ground as Lelouch scowled in anger.
The Zilkhstanian assassins were still outside!
"We'll take care of this, Master Lelouch!"Jeremiah assured.
Then Kallen, Sayako, Jeremiah and Anya darted out of the hallway to fight assassins.
The ninja maid rushed downstairs and lobbed a cylindrical object into the air over the heads of Swail's subordinates.
As the cylindrical object reached the peak of its flight, it opened up and fired a scattering barrage of hard steel balls, killing everything beneath it.
Those who avoided this initial attack were quickly overwhelmed by Sayoko's ninjutsu skills.
Kallen engaged the assassins with a mixture of martial arts, knife-work and gunplay.
Two soldiers started firing at Jeremiah.
However, the cyborg swiftly dashed past them and knocked the two of them unconscious before killing them with his sharp blades.
Anya dodged a soldier that attempted to shoot her and jumped over him before shooting him dead and killed one that was on her right without even turning her head.
Swail then decided to step forward, seeing that his men were no match for the four fighters.
"All of you, stand down."Swail ordered.
"Are you the one in charge here?"Kallen questioned."Because if this is your idea of a tourist attraction…it's a little much don't you think?"
Kallen held her knife out in an imposing manner as Lelouch, Sabrina, Lloyd and Bertie carefully peeked to see what was happening outside.
An evil smile appeared on Swail's face.
"I thought it was just right for you dogs of the United Federation of Nations as well."Swail chuckled.
"Then how about we settle this one on one?"Kallen challenged.
"I'd rather not."Swail replied."I'm no knight or samurai, you see."
With those words, a Geass symbol appeared over Swail's right eye, which lashed out and attacked Kallen's mind.
At first, the pilot of the Guren S.E.I.T.E.N didn't feel anything, but then she blinked and saw five Sayakos in front of her.
"What the hell?!"Kallen muttered.
"Miss Kallen, what's going on?"Sayako asked.
Sayoko dropped down next to Kallen, ready to use two kunai that she held.
But when Kallen looked to where she heard Sayako's voice, she saw Swail looking back at her.
"When did you get over there?!"Kallen demanded as she started to attack the person she believed was her enemy."Well, you won't escape again!"
"Miss Kallen, what's gotten into you?!"Sayoko questioned.
Jeremiah and Anya were bewildered by Kallen's actions even as she parried her every attack with almost dazzling ease.
Sayoko then leaped straight to the upper level, forcing Kallen to fire a grappling hook to the railing in order to follow.
The master assassin simply smiled as he watched the two women fight.
"How fitting to make your own adversaries destroy each other."Swaile remarked.
As they fought, Sabrina (wearing her Kitsune mask) rushed out to earn Kallen's attention.
"Mum!"Sabrina shouted."What are you doing?!"
But when Kallen glanced at Sabrina, she somehow saw her future daughter as another Swail.
"How many brothers do you have?!"Kallen scowled.
Kallen raised her gun to fire at Sabrina causing the pilot of the Cleopatra to move out of the way from being hit by Kallen's gunshots.
A realisation hit Anya's when she figured out what had happened to the ace of the Black Knights.
Anya rushed forward and did a quick spin kick, knocking Kallen off her feet and making her drop the knife, allowing her to pin her Geassed friend down.
"Let me go, you!"Kallen yelled.
Kallen struggled to escape her perceived opponent's pin.
"I knew it!"Anya growled."Geass!"
"Oh, you know about Geass?"Swail commented with amusement."I'll have to check into your backgrounds later."
But as the master assassin turned away, several gunshots struck the ground near his feet.
Swail turned around to see C.C. standing up, holding a pistol of her own.
"You."Swail said in shock."You should..."
"Be dead, is that it?"C.C. finished.
Swail blinked causing the Geass symbol in his eye to disappear.
As a result, Kallen immediately stopped struggling as she saw Anya for who she was.
Sayoko and Sabrina went over to Kallen.
"Mum, are you okay?"Sabrina questioned with a hint of worry.
"I'm fine."Kallen answered as she rubbed her head before Kallen helped her out."What happened?"
"That assassin used his Geass on you and made you attack us, Mistress Kallen."Sayoko admitted.
C.C glanced at Swail.
"So that's it."C.C responded."You have a Geass that alters a person's perceptions of friend and foe. It's quite a cute little power, isn't it?"
"It's plenty useful on the battlefield."Swail replied and his attention went on Anya."Let me demonstrate to you."
However before Swail's Geass could hit Anya, the silver cover of Jeremiah's left eye opened, revealing the inverted blue sigil over his green cybernetic eye which activated and cancelled out the assassin master's attack.
"What happened?"Swail said in disbelief."Why didn't my Geass-"
"It's called 'A Geass Canceller', sir."Jeremiah declared with a glare."Try that on my daughter or any other of my comrades, you are a dead man."
"In case you haven't notice, you are messing with the wrong people."C.C informed bluntly.
Swail scowled in annoyance as he stepped back.
"I see."Swail replied and smirked at C.C."Well, I didn't mean to insult a former leader of the Order. We'll be back some other time."
The master assassin waved his hand and his surviving men began to retreat while he fired a grappling hook to a nearby rooftop.
When the assassins left, Lelouch came out of the building followed by Lloyd and Bertie.
"As it expected."Lelouch murmured."So they're part of that sect."
Back in Pendragon…
Prime Minister Odysseus was through files about the Kingdom of Zilkhstan.
Then Nonette came into the room with an iPad in her hands.
"There's been a communique from Schnee."Nonette declared."They're in Zilkhstan."
Nonette walked up to Prime Minister Odysseus and gave him the iPad.
"According to the records that Inspector Shinozaki obtained, the plain there has been divided into a temple and their great prison."Nonette exclaimed.
The Prime Minister of Britannia looked at the information in the iPad.
"Right then."Odysseus responded."Tell Cornelia to prepare her people for the immediate dispatch."
"In addition, I'm told that Zero is already in the Land of Warriors himself."Nonette admitted.
A smile appeared on Odysseus' face.
"That is good."Odysseus remarked."The sooner he forms another of his excellent plans, the sooner we can get Marrybell and the Glinda Knights back."
In the Kingdom of Zilkhstan…
Lelouch, Kallen, Sabrina, Bertie, C.C, Jeremiah, Anya and Lloyd sat in the back of a large truck that Sayako was driving.
Sabrina was drinking a can of cranberry soda while Bertie sat next to C.C and was playing with a kaleidoscope that the immortal witch gave him."
Bertie chuckled at the beautiful enchanting colours in the kaleidoscope.
"Pretty."Bertie remarked.
Lelouch looked at his companions.
"Judging from what we saw, Swail's Geass gives him the ability to reverse a person's perception of who their foes and allies are."Lelouch exclaimed and looked at Kallen."This causes a person to see their allies as their enemies like what happened to you, Kallen."
Kallen nodded slightly at her husband's respond.
"And he would've used it control me like-"Anya started nervously.
Anya felt someone place his hand on her shoulder and saw it was Jeremiah.
"Don't you worry, Anya."Jeremiah assured kindly."I vow what happened to you in the past will never happen again."
Anya nodded, now feeling calm at her adopted father's words.
Bertie stopped looking at the kaleidoscope when he notice something was bothering Anya.
"Anya, are you okay?"Bertie asked.
"I-I'm fine, Bertie."Anya answered."Just seeing Kallen controlled by Swail's Geass brought back painful memories."
Sabrina looked down since she and her parents like the rest of their group knew the reason of Anya's behaviour.
The former Knight of Six was an innocent girl thrown to a life as a host body for a parasite that robbed her of her free will.
And that parasite was her grandmother, Marianne vi Britannia, who in reality had a cold, ruthless, calculating and manipulative personality under a kind, warm, charming, and motherly facade.
Charles zi Britannia, Marianne vi Britannia and V.V.
These names alone fill her with contempt and homicidal rage.
But Sabrina was relieved that those three people's presence were now gone and never to be seen again.
The pilot of the Cleopatra then came out of her thoughts to speak to her father.
"If Geass is involved with the Kingdom of Zilknstan, then it is obvious that Queen Shamna may have one herself."Sabrina suggested."That could be why Oldrin and the Glinda Knights could've been easily be defeated."
"You maybe right, Sabrina."C.C stated."I've never actually met the royal family of Zilknstan, so there could be a possibility that V.V was the one that taught them about Geass and gave them their abilities."
"It may have been also these so called Keepers of the Order?"Kallen assumed.
"The Keepers of the Order have the ability to travel through time, my Q-1."Lelouch complemented and narrowed his eyes."But it is obvious that they may have unimaginable powers that we don't even know."
Suddenly, an incoming call notification popped up on the eccentric scientist's laptop.
"Hmm? What's this?"Lloyd pondered out loud, gathering the attention of everyone else within the room.
Deciding to not be rude, Lloyd answered the call, which revealed the contact to be none other than the Prime Minister of Japan herself, Kaguya Sumeragi.
"Well, well, well!"Lloyd beamed in his unusual exuberant and carless manner."Why, hello there, Prime Minister of Japan. What gives us the honor for you to call us today?"
"Nothing good I'm afraid."Kaguya stated with a rather grim look on her face."You see, we've recently stumbled upon a rather interesting yet disturbing issue."
Sabrina leaned against the desk towards Lloyd's laptop to get a better look.
"Did you find the location of the warheads?"Sabrina asked.
"I got informed from the agency from the Middle East that they reported suspicious activity on that so-called chemical plant."Kaguya exclaimed."Not only that. I've learned also from them that Oldrin and the Glinda Knights are kept in the Wailing Prison."
"Let's hope they're still alive though."Lelouch complemented.
Sabrina nodded at her father before looking at the young Prime Minister of Japan.
"Did you find the location of the warheads?"Sabrina asked.
"Yes, Sabrina."Kaguya answered."It's part of a complex in making tons of them."
Kaguya shared her screen on her computer to the group to show a satellite image of the planet, which showed a highlighted area within Zilkhstan.
The highlighted area that consisted of a factory, farm and a storage facility for F.L.E.I.J.A.
"It's just located a couple of miles from where the Glinda Knights are located."Kaguya declared."There's a chemical plant believed to be abandoned prior to to Cornelia's attempted invasion of Zilkhstan 3 years ago. It seems to have quite a lot of history."
After a moment to take a quick breath, the Prime Minister of Japan continued.
"We were also informed by the Middle Eastern intelligence that they had reported suspicious activity at the plant."Kaguya admitted."I'm sending the satellite images they just sent us to you guys now."
Just a few seconds later, Lloyd computer binged with an email notification that contained those very same satellite images.
Without any prompting from the others, Lloyd quickly opened the email up to display the images that were sent of the chemical plant.
"How long ago were these taken?"Lelouch questioned with a grim scowl on his features.
"Just a few days ago."Kaguya replied.
The pictures sent showed trucks and people unloading the materials from Nina's designs of that weapon.
Some more pictures taken from a later date than the first few displayed that more trucks and materials had multiplied for the last few days.
Disturbed looks appeared on everyone's faces, even Lloyd's normally careless expression turned into one of concern.
This certainly wasn't anything good.
Jeremiah glared at the computer screen.
"So, this whole 'chemical plant' is actually a manufacturing plant to create more F.L.E.I.J.A. warheads."Jeremiah stated with narrowed eyes.
"And plenty of it too."Kallen growled angrily as her hands bunched into tight fists at her sides.
Her normally bright turquoise eyes turned into a dark pool in her rising, fiery anger.
"This is very bad."Sabrina retorted."We can't risk another place in the world getting hit by these atrocities."
"Like Schneizel did with Tamium."Anya commented in a bitter tone.
Lelouch stood up to check on the monitor for the exact location of the storage facility and saw it was two hours and forty five minutes from where he and his companions were.
"It is not even that far from where we are. But the Wailing Prison is our most closest route.""Lelouch murmured and glanced at Sayoko."Sayoko. Had Akito made contact?"
"Yes, Master Lelouch."Sayoko answered with a nod while driving the van."They've received Prime Minister Kaguya's report and heading to the storage factory."
Inside the Castle of Zilkhstan…
Swail went to see Queen Shamna, Thanatos and Shesthaal in the throne room.
"Pray forgive me."Swail commented."The dogs of the UFN would seem to have eluded us."
"You can't mean to say they were any real obstacle for you, Qujappat."Shesthaal scoffed with a frown.
Swail slightly shrugged and smirked.
"Well, after all, I did have to go up against that woman."Swail reminded.
"The order's former leader?"Shesthaal assumed.
"Right."Swail agreed."Lord V.V's predecessor."
Queen Shamna immediately who Swail was referring to.
"C.C?"Queen Shamna assumed."Is her appearance now a divine revelation or perhaps a tribute?"
"Even supposing these intruders were spies for the UFN as well as part of the Geass family, our enemies may have two possible goals."Shesthaal assumed."Rescuing their great Empress and her knights."
"Or destroy our storage facility that contains F.L.E.I.J.A."Swail guessed.
"Indeed."Shesthaal agreed.
"Zero and the Black Knights are no doubt trying to rescue Empress Marrybell."Thanatos complemented."But there is also a chance that they might also try to destroy your storage facility since Emperor Schneizel used it to destroy a Britannian city known as Tamium not longer he ascended the throne."
Queen Shamna glanced at Swail.
"Was Sabrina vi Britannia among the intruders you saw?"Queen Shamna asked.
"Yes, Your Highness."Swail answered."It is as you described her. A red haired girl wearing a fox-faced mask."
A smirk appeared on Thanatos' face.
"Looks like she took the bait."Thanatos sneered.
"As you predicted."Queen Shamna agreed and looked at Shesthaal."What of my brother? Where is Shalio?"
"King Shalio is still at the great prison."Shesthaal replied."Still interrogating Lady Oldrin."
"Send word for him to return at once."Queen Shamna ordered."You will accompany Lady Sin to the great prison in his place."
"Yes, Your Majesty."Shesthaal answered."As the son of Forgnar the Great, I, Shesthaal will show the UFN what it means to have battle in your genes."
In Japan…
In the Ikaruga, Anna and the W-0 Squad were looking through information that they got from Prime Minister Kaguya about the facility that created and stored F.L.E.I.J.A in Zilkhstan.
Joe Wise, the assistant researcher of Sophie Randall, took out the printed papers that showed facts about the facility.
"It is as we feared."Joe complemented nervously while looking at the printed sheets."Someone stole and has offered information to the Kingdom of Zilkhstan about Miss Einstein's designs of the F.L.E.I.J.A and will attempt to use them to bring more chaos than Emperor Schneizel could ever done in the world."
Anna, Sarah, Olivia, Kate, Ferilli, Hilda and Chloe were all typing in on their computers to look at the data they received about the Kingdom of Zilkhstan.
"Since the Kingdom of Zilkhstan also has grudges against Britannia, they would also them to wipe out the entire Britannian Imperial Family."Ferilli admitted."Not just cities."
A scoff escaped Chloe's mouth.
"This far worse than bad since the new enemies that caused havoc in Kitsune's timeline can go back in time as she did."Chloe retorted.
Suddenly, a beach volleyball was handing towards Sophie causing the brain science expert to smack it back and it landed on the hands of a eight year old girl known as Parvati.
Parvati was a girl with long curly chestnut brown hair, dark grey coloured eyes and had a purple bindi on her forehead. She wore a sleeveless white cream dress with a black string belt around her waist, black warmers on her wrists and brown sandals around her neck was a silver necklace with yellow coin-like gems on it.
"Parvati, can you please not play around here?"Sophie retorted."We are a middle of work here."
"Sorry, Professor Randall!"Parvati apologised with a bow.
Parvati headed off with the beach ball to go back to in the Control Room of the Ikaruga, where Shanti and the other youngsters were looking after Baby Sabrina, Baby Rory and Baby Yaten.
Jaya and Maya were ten year old twin sisters with dark brown hair that were braided, sand coloured skin, purple bindis on their forehead and maroon eyes.
Jaya wore a plum coloured t-shirt that exposed her belly bottom with matching pants that had a pale pink sash around her waist and plum flats.
Maya wore a dark grey t-shirt that covered her chest with a white skirt that stopped before her knees. Around heck was a long cyan scarf with white lines on it and dark grey sandals.
Suhana was an eleven year old girl with silky caramel brown hair that went up to her shoulders and forest green eyes with glasses. She wore a sleeveless and long deep blue dress with pale blue sandals. On her ears were gold earrings.
Eishta was an nine year old with sand yellow hair tied in a ponytail with hazel eyes. She wore a ruby red shirt with a short black side at the top, olive green baggy pants and dark red sandals. Around her neck was a necklace with a gold diamond on it and a gold bracelet on her left wrist.
Lakhi was a seven year old girl with short spiky indigo hair with a pink headband and gentle amber eyes. She wore a pink short dress with a sleeveless white jacket that had red linings on it and on her feet were gold bracelets with brown sandals. On her wrists were two gold bracelets.
Baby Sabrina was on Lakhi's lap while Baby Rory and Baby Yaten were on the laps of the twin sisters'.
Eishta does a funny face causing the three babies to laugh at the sight.
"Hey, Suhana."Eishta sneered."You should try making the kids laugh."
"No thanks."Suhana replied, completely focused on typing on her laptop."I'm pretty busy myself."
Shanti ate a bit of popcorn from her bowl.
"Just what are you checking anyway?"Shanti questioned.
"Historical facts."Suhana declared.
"Yawn."Shanti whined in boredom.
Parvati took a sip from her blueberry juice box.
"Did you girls hear?"Parvati asked excitedly as she hugged a Clefairy plush toy."Akito-sama and Lady Leila are going to Zilkhstan to help Master Zero and the Black Knights rescue Empress Marrybell. He is so cool."
"Parvati, Master Akito is old enough to be your older brother."Jaya reminded.
Maya glanced at her older twin sister with a smirk on her face.
"That's strange coming from you since you have the hots for Master Lelouch."Maya declared smugly.
Jaya blushed and glared at Maya.
"Hey! Don't act like I'm the only one, Maya!"Jaya retorted."You do too!"
"Do not!"Maya scowled.
"Do so!"Jaya retorted.
"Would you two stop."Shanti scoffed."We all like Master Lelouch as we like Master Akito."
"And don't forget they're both married men."Suhana informed.
"Right…"Jaya and Maya grumbled in defeat.
Eishta snickered her friends' misfortune while Lakhi looked at Baby Sabrina.
"Was your daddy always popular with girls, Rina?"Lakhi asked.
Baby Sabrina just smiled and gurgled happily at the seven year old girl.
Somewhere in Zilkhstan…
A large truck pulled into the main entrance of the Wailing Prison.
The Wailing Prison was located in harsh desert atop a canyon making escape nigh impossible.
Not only it was hard to escape from it's also hard to get in and the only way in or out is through a drawbridge.
It was even capable of holding out against an army if it needs to because the prison have an intricate defense system in place and even possesses Knightmare Frames
As a trio of armed guards approached the trick, a portly man in glasses sporting the same outfit stepped out and handed a clipboard to one of them.
Then a thin man with blonde hair and dark shades came out and went next to the portly man.
"Heretics and terrorists, huh?"the first guard said, looking at the clipboard."And you two are sending them to the lower block?"
"Yeah."the truck's first driver replied."Try to keep this to yourself. They gave the queen a lot of trouble and are to be executed within a week."
"They're at the back of the truck."the second driver commented.
The second armed guard moved to open the back of the truck.
This revealed the prisoners in question: C.C, Kallen, Lelouch, Sabrina and Anya.
All them were wearing prisoner clothes.
Though Sabrina was handcuffed, wrapped in chains and had an eyepatch on her right eye to make her look dangerous.
The first guard looked at Sabrina.
"And this one?"the first guard asked.
"A professional yet dangerous assassin."the first driver warned."If released, she won't hesitate to cut your head off."
The first guard became nervous at the driver's reply before walking away.
C.C, Lelouch, Kallen, Sabrina and Anya all remained quiet as the third guard herded them out of the back of the truck.
"We're in."C.C. thought sternly."Sayoko and Jeremiah's disguises were perfect as always. I just hope everything else goes smoothly."
Meanwhile…
Akito, Leila, Ayano, Ryo and Yukiya were all inside their Knightmares wearing their own pilot uniforms as official members of the Black Knights.
Akito wore a dark blue pilot suit.
Leila wore a pale pink suit with red line designs on it. Her long and wavy blonde hair was styled in a high tail.
Ayano wore a marigold orange pilot suit with bronze designs and had a brown belt that had a dagger attached on it.
Ryo wore a deep grey pilot suit.
Yukiya wore a dark green pilot suit.
Akito was on the above seat of the Gawain with Leila, who was at the bottom seat of the Knightmare.
Ayano, Ryo and Yukiya were inside their Alexanders.
"I got a message from Miss Sayoko and Miss Cecile."Akito complemented."We are to take the facility in that is creating F.L.E.I.J.A that is somewhere in Zilkhstan."
Yukiya typed on his phone to look at the location for the chemical weapon.
"It's an hour trip from here."Yukiya declared."No doubt we have to deal with security."
Ryo smirked."That never stopped us before."
"So Lelouch and the others are heading to the Wailing Prison?"Ayano assumed.
Leila nodded at Ayano's question.
"That's right."Leila agreed."They're going to save Oldrin and the Glinda Knights."
"Is that where Marrybell is held too?"Ryo questioned.
"Maybe."Akito answered."Or maybe she is held at Queen Shamna's palace as a hostage."
A stern look appeared on Leila's face.
"Before we do anything else, let's focus on taking down that so called chemical plant."Leila insisted."We can't allow more psychos to use these weapons for their twisted desires."
"Yes, Leila!"Akito, Ayano, Ryo and Yukiya replied in unison.
Inside the Castle of Zilkhstan…
Queen Shamna smirked as she gazed up at something on the ceiling in the depths of Zilkhstan's royal palace.
The object she were staring up at was a large container of golden-yellow liquid and inside it, kept in a state of sleep and fitted with a breathing mask was Marrybell.
"Empress Marrybell mel Britannia."Queen Shamna said smugly."Your niece from an alternative timeline is coming to rescue you and your Glinda Knights as it had been predicted."
A malicious smile appeared on the Queen of Zilkhstan's face.
"If you weren't so important to my plan, you might have made a suitable bride for my brother."Queen Shamna complemented and frowned."But then again, you would use your Geass to make him your mindless puppet."
Inside the Wailing Prison…
C.C, Lelouch, Kallen, Sabrina and Anya stepped out of the elevator and stepped into a hall lined with barred prison cells, all filled with male inmates.
When the prisoners saw the newly arrived faces, they began to clamour and call out, some even reaching through the prison bars.
Unbeknownst to everyone except the new prisoners, the ones who had brought them here and accompanying them, were Sayako and Jeremiah in disguise.
"Hey! Fresh meat!"
"What are you guys in for?"
"Women! Women!"
"Hey! Let's have some fun!"
"Is that a guy in the middle?!"
"Let's party! Let's party!"
An irritated wave started to grow within Sabrina at the repulsive responds from the male inmates.
"Disgusting pigs."Sabrina thought in disgust."Never expected to see so many of them here."
As the group walked, Sayoko carefully placed his hand on her disguise's glasses.
"Dr. Lloyd."Sayoko responded."I'd like to make our move before they begin the strip search. How are the cameras coming?"
Lloyd was still back in a hidden compartment of the truck, surrounded by computers and working on a laptop while Bertie was drinking an orange juice box.
"How unfortunate, it's just fine."Lloyd answered, his reply in a monotone woman's voice which surprised Bertie."I've already replaced them with fake images."
In the Wailing Prison…
"It's okay, everyone."Sayoko stated.
C.C, Lelouch, Kallen, Sabrina, Anya and the disguised Jeremiah stopped walking at Sayoko's reply, much to the surprise of some other nearby guards.
"Thank you for showing us in."Sayako informed
Sayoko then removed her mask and pressed a button to deflate what was actually an inflatable body suit.
The ninja maid then tossed her mask at the sword-wielding guard, striking him in the head and knocking him out.
After taking off his own disguise and punching a nearby guard on the face, Jeremiah broke free Sabrina's chains and eyepatch before the younger red haired girl activated her Geass to disappear and appear behind two guards to knock them out.
Lelouch moved out of the way as C.C, Kallen and Anya took out the remaining guards.
However, the prisoners did not cheer the defeat of the guards and instead began to clamour again.
"Ho boy!"
"Now you've done it!"
"Idiots!"
"You're not getting out of here!"
"Hey guards, you seeing this?"
The male inmates called out for the guards from the security camera to get their attention.
However, Lloyd's hacking skills had made sure the guards would not react and see the group.
The rest of the guards would see on the security camera footage was an empty hall.
Lelouch moved his hand to his eyes to activate his Geass.
"I, Lelouch vi Britannia, command you all to ignore us and be as quiet as possible!"Lelouch ordered.
Lelouch's Geass activated and the prisoners fell under his influence.
"As you wish, Your Majesty!"the prisoners shouted in unison.
Kallen smirked at her husband's choice.
"I knew you were going to do that."Kallen remarked.
"I may be a genius, but I lack the physical requirements of a regular person."Lelouch said with a shrug.
Sayoko contacted Lloyd.
"Dr Lloyd, have you located Oldrin and the Glinda Knights?"Sayoko questioned.
"Indeed I have, Sayoko."Lloyd remarked brightly."At the bottom cells below the prison. But they appear to be in need of serious medical treatment."
Jeremiah took out the small device he had to show the location of Oldrin and the Glinda Knights' prison cells.
"It is as you say."Jeremiah commented.
Sabrina glanced at her parents and companions.
"Let's hurry and get them out."Sabrina insisted."It won't be long until Queen Shamna learns that we are here."
Anya nodded."Yeah."
Lelouch, Kallen, Sabrina, C.C, Sayoko, Jeremiah and Anya began making their way down a cave passage that led to the bottom prison cells of the Wailing Prison.
The hallway looked dark and had only a few torches around to light up its hallway.
Each prison cell appeared to be the same.
Jeremiah looked in his device.
"Lady Oldrin is on the fifth door on the left."Jeremiah declared."The rest are on the cells at the right."
Lelouch, Kallen, Sabrina, C.C, Sayoko, Jeremiah and Anya immediately went to free Oldrin and the Glinda Knights.
Sabrina opened the door to Oldrin's cell, only to become shocked to see how badly wounded the Zevon girl was.
"Oldrin. Wake up."Sabrina begged."It's me, Sabrina."
Oldrin groaned in pain and saw Sabrina releasing the binders that held her.
Once the binders were off, Sabrina quickly caught Oldrin before she hit the floor.
"It's alright."Sabrina soothed."You're safe now."
Sabrina took out a canteen bottle before she gently tipped it against Oldrin's lips.
Oldrin coughed weakly as she opened her eyes and looked up at Sabrina.
"Sabrina?"Oldrin said in surprise."What are you doing here?"
"We came to rescue you and the Glinda Knights."Sabrina remarked."Which cell is Aunt Marrybell being held in?"
Oldrin began to panic at the mention of her best friend.
"Marrybell!"Oldrin panicked."We have to save her!"
Oldrin attempted to stand up, only to wince at the pain she felt in her body.
"You need to relax, Oldrin."Sabrina instructed as she returned the canteen bottle in Oldrin's mouth."You can help us as soon as your wounds are healed."
Once Oldrin finished drinking the canteen bottle, Sabrina began helping Oldrin out of the cell, only to see her parents and companions had freed Sokkia, Leonhardt, Oiaguro and Tink.
"How are the rest of you feeling?"Lelouch questioned.
"Despite need of a few stitches and a nice meal, I think we'll manage."Sokkia grumbled.
A weak yet small smile appeared on Leonhardt's face.
"Thank you for coming to rescue us."Leonhardt thanked.
"It's the least we can do, Leonhardt."Anya responded."You guys were the ones that help us beat the tyrant of Britannia."
"You're right about that."Tink agreed.
"But what about Empress Marrybell?"Sayoko asked."Where is she?"
"Empress Marrybell isn't here."Oiaguro declared."She is currently held at Queen Shamna's castle."
"Then we must save her."Sabrina suggested.
"We'll form a plan to rescue Marrybell later, Sabrina."Lelouch admitted and looked at the group."Right now we have to focus on leaving this wretched prison."
Jeremiah and Sayoko helped Tink while Lelouch and Kallen helped Sokkia.
Anya aided Leonhardt since his back hurt from the torture he got.
Oldrin glanced at Kallen.
"Did you guys come here by yourselves?"Oldrin questioned.
"Not exactly."Kallen answered."We brought help with us."
Outside the Wailing Prison…
"Stand by."Shesthaal instructed.
Shesthaal got word from the palace about the situation inside the Wailing Prison.
His mobile fortress was now in position outside of the prison, just in front of the main gates.
One of his soldiers was just relaying the message while the other was looking out with some binoculars.
"Yes, sir."the first soldier said."Warden Bitool said that due to the complex construction of the prison, he and the guards plan to deal with the issue themselves."
"That glorified bandit."Shesthaal retorted."Does he really view the place as his own little kingdom?"
S.S walked up to Shesthaal.
"Shall I go see if they're doing their job, Sir Shesthaal?"S.S insisted.
"You may, Lady Sin."Shesthaal insisted with a smirk."You have the power to make people do your dirty work."
S.S smirked evilly before becoming invisible and making her way inside the Wailing Prison.
Man, this chapter was so far the longest and hope you guys enjoyed it. See you all in the next one:)
