Chapter 136: The Jump
While I'm still in the helicopter in the air, it will not be for much longer, though whether I'll survive after being in here or die, to be honest because of it being sudden and the concerns of time, I am unsure. With this said though, I refuse to give into doubt, and I like to think the former will happen.
I get the parachutes in the helicopter, and after passing them around I am about to put mine on and ensure it's secure. Before that happens though, the chopper gets hit by a missile, though while I expected it, it's still a shock. In fact the impact was so great; I almost fall over, and lose my grip on the parachute. Fortunately for me however, I have just put it on and this relieves me, for if I hadn't got it on, it would have taken longer for me to have it on, and would I have been able to get out and land safely after the delay?
Then again would that make a difference, since I don't think we have time to jump out now, it'll be difficult with all the spinning at least. No we can jump; we must get out of the chopper. I'm just panicking once again which is making me doubt myself and growing concerned due to the situation. I must not do it even if it's easier said than done, I just need to restrain myself and jump out as quickly as I can as soon as I checked to see if it's securely on, at least I'll then have a chance.
It is just as well I make the jump as I am out of the chopper, just at the at the moment when more missiles hit the helicopter causing it to explode and to fall in pieces. The thing is I find that while I only look at that before looking at the ground, ready for the right moment to deploy my parachute so that I don't die, I fear the worst has happened, that my allies have died, and it'll just be myself alone and what allied troops there are out there.
Yet I cannot think about that right now, because even if it's the case, I'm still here and it looks like I can still carry on the mission, and with luck I can meet my allies again when I wake up. Even if it's not to be though and even if failed I cannot let that get to me, because for one thing well you readers know Neptune wants me to be bothered, and besides which I can triumph at least one last time.
I simply need to focus on the task at hand, where to go and when to deploy due to the enemies on the ground that are well aware of the shooting down of the helicopter, and are looking for any survivors to shoot down. Though I'm thankful that the fact that we're in the city and therefore there are tall buildings makes it hard for them to see where I am and therefore be able to shoot me down.
Despite this because of the circumstances, it isn't easy to think of a good spot to deploy due to the circumstances and time is running out, because if I go too close I could die, but if I go too far away I may not make it in time. I realise though that either option will lead to having to deal with lots of enemies, though at least with me being far away, I'll have allies and won't be surrounded by them, and so I decide to go as far away as I can to minimise my chances of getting shot down.
I am thankful I realise due to time almost being up, that I should deploy as late as I can to make it harder for the enemies to shoot at me if they were to spot me, and furthermore I should try and land over the river to avoid the enemies. Hopefully there it'll be the least guarded route to where I need to be.
After being as close as I can to the river, I deploy my chute and I breathe a sigh of relief due to how I've done it ever so late, and any more later then I could have died, but I cannot think about that now, and I can only hope that my luck maintains and that I don't get spotted, or worse, get shot down by the enemy. I like to think this is the best chance of the worst not happening of all the spots I can choose, but I know how these things can be like, though I won't let it concern me.
It is then that just as I feared or should I say suspected, that as I descend slowly thanks to the parachute, there is an enemy patrol boat, which is white in colour and has a large red cog on it in the centre. This is their flag, it must be, and I find it odd for there to be only one boat, and I can't see any surrounding enemies nearby. Maybe they are there as an outpost under orders to retreat if there's too many of our forces approaching, but calling for help if there's any trouble.
The thing is I find that on closer inspection, there are only 2 people on board and they're both dead, hmmmm. I wonder if it maybe a trap? But it's a bit odd for there to be one over here, when I can't see how they'd know where I would be. Never the less I don't feel I have a choice, and furthermore what if it isn't and instead it's an opportunity for me to have not just an enemy vehicle, but a disguise as well. These things I can use to get to parliament and defeat the enemy there, while holding out before my allies arrive and take out the enemy.
I am assuming of course that I don't get spotted, or that the disguise will be enough for me to pass off as one of them, but how else am I going to get in considering how they'll have patrols and road blocks or should I say checkpoints on the river. Not only that but I don't see how I would be able to take them all on considering they'll have radio, and with that they can get their troops patrolling the area into a concentrated block to deal with us. Black you're showing concern again, you know you do your best and it's always been enough so far.
With this in mind, I continue to look around me as best as I can, but I don't see anyone at all. I do so repeatedly as I am about to make my landing, in fact even when I land on the boat I don't see anything or anyone. It is then that my gut tells me that they have been taken out by Britannians, our allies in this nightmare, and there must be at least a couple of them nearby, further away from parliament. If I can take this boat back and meet up with them, then I know at least that I won't be alone in this mission and with an ally in disguise, we can attempt to infiltrate parliament via the sea. This is of course if I can trigger my memory of driving a boat which I like to think it will.
As a matter of fact, with my knowledge of boat driving coming back to me, I commandeer the vehicle and drive back towards where the Britannians are likely to be. It doesn't take long and it's then as I take the corner that there is a small number of speed boats with the flags on them that is the same as the flag on my t shirt, and on each them are a couple of soldiers wearing the same flags on them carrying weapons from this place. Interestingly enough I notice one of them with a Lee Enfield with a silencer, who must have been the one who assassinated the crew on the ship I have taken.
They are really pleased to see me, and I have a feeling that they in fact know me, and even give me a salute in appreciation of seeing me. While I do wish there is more of them who can support me, considering the amount of enemy forces surrounding our target, it isn't fair on them and I am half full in that it's better than nothing, and perhaps there's more of them nearby or in other vital locations who have radio contact with these people.
Considering their position, my guess is that their plan would be to serve as an outpost of their own, sniping any enemies who come their way, and if there's too many of them then retreat, basically hit and run, and perhaps harassing them while most of our patrol boats are on the other side, hopefully with enough forces so that parliament can be reached on the other side.
"Good to see you Lord Black Lead, considering we heard your chopper getting shot down. Do you know if your sisters are alright?" One of the men who must be the leader of this group asked me.
"Unfortunately I have no idea. Are you all there is or do you have reinforcements, other groups?" I answer trying hard not to show emotion, considering those are my sisters and I hate to think they've died here in this nightmare. It's such a shame for they would be excellent leaders for this nation, full of optimism and competence, and kindness.
"Yes, we have a flotilla on the other side ready to attack on my go, while we are to be a hit and run unit. Thing is there hasn't been anyone apart from that boat, who we've taken out a dozen minutes ago. It is unfortunate you don't know since Lady Black Sister had our communication. Is there any orders you wish to give us?" The leader asks me, sounding determined not to give up.
I like his spirit as it reminds me of the spirit of this nation. I also like how I read the situation perfectly, that just as I thought that they were there to hit and run the enemy, with a bigger force on the other side. I just wonder if they were waiting for our order, while we tried to infiltrate parliament.
It may look like it's just me to lead this fight, but lead it I shall, and I will defeat those scum who think that not only they can take our country from us but to poison us with an ideology that will destroy this nation, as well as to make us pay for doing what everyone else was doing and that was surviving. Oh very funny how it's parallel to my console beating yours Neptune.
I await Cody's side of this, and like I'll destroy him, I will destroy his side and then I will destroy you Neptune. No nation should feel guilt for their past, instead they should feel proud of it, and if he wants to try and expose anything, I'll do the same only it'll be worse for him, and he'll wish he never did it.
"Yes it looks like it was originally to be that at the appropriate signal that flotilla will attack the enemy, and it'll be the same now, though the appropriate signal will be different, and as for you I want you to snipe the enemy, and then retreat and ambush them as best as you can, bleed them as much as possible, if it gets too tough retreat, again all of this on my signal.
Meanwhile myself and one of you in the best disguise we can, will try to infiltrate parliament in this boat, and with my own two hands and whatever weapon I have will defeat Cody Gears, Neptune and save this country from their mitts, who will destroy it completely." I say to them with passion and patriotism, and a strong conviction to do what I said, only for me to then give them the signal, which will be a name and some words in their language, that way as far as the enemy is concerned they're wondering where my buddy is.
"Agreed Lord Black Lead, in fact Bret will go, he's one of the best we have, and he's fluent in their language. We wish you all the luck in the world. Hail Britannia." The leader says before giving me a salute along with his troops.
"Thanks we will succeed, our country only deserves it. Hail Britannia." I say to them.
Note: Readers please listen to Freedom Fighters Sabotage while reading this:
I appreciate his actions and I only hope we can, no we will for this is our nation we are fighting for. Bret then boards my boat, and the pair of us put on the Gear disguises consisting of jeans and T shirts and cardigans. The jeans are of blue denim, while the T shirts and cardigans are of a white colour with a large red cog at the centre, and to top off the look, we put on sunglasses and bandanas over our mouths, only for us to conceal a radio for us to use. I also equip myself with a Nambu pistol and some bullets, while Bret picks up a Type 100 sub machine gun.
What a relief that the sniper only shot them in the head, meaning that their clothes weren't stained with blood, and while we're not of the same size as these costumes, they are not too noticeable, and with both of our hair being black and our facial features being covered, I think we could pass off as one of them, especially with us being fluent in their language. I can only hope it works, but it is better to try and fail than to not try at all, and I am pleased that my efforts to not be concerned of failure and things going awry to be paying off.
I constantly think about right of my urgent need to get to the building, and the need to take out Cody Gears and Neptune, and to do so quickly before they can take proper control of this nation and my nation, the nation that I love and would fight for. I would fight for it without question as it has done so much good for the world, making it a more freer, more prosperous, more advanced place, and I will not let that scum take it away from us. Noire and Uni may have died in that chopper for all I know, but I will be a way more difficult enemy to take down, and their deaths shall be avenged.
I know though that before I can get anywhere near the building, I need to bluff my way through the guards, as no doubt they will have blocked the river in parts between here and our destination. But what legitimate reason could there be for me to pass, what reason would they accept? Hmmmm.
The reason they are most likely to accept, is a reason that justifies me going to parliament, and since I'm supposed to be on patrol, it has got to be information that they think I have that they want. I work out with logic that while there is the radio which they can use to inform Cody, knowing them knowing us, there'll be someone hacking in who'll know their language and it'll get intercepted. There is the option of me telling them the message so that they'll go, but for all they know there could be a bug there overhearing their conversation.
But even so it's getting them to believe us, and not suspect a rat. Hmmmm. I have just the thing, I can make out that I killed Black and also discovered vital plans, after all I am a huge threat to them and anyone that kills me will be surely valued by that vile pathetic Cody, but how to convince them? A body? No because there's no way that clothes alone would pass a dead enemy as myself. Hmmmm. I do not have any paper or pens so that I can write vital information as Black to pass it on, which could risk them taking the message and passing it on.
It is then I realise that what if I could pressure them to make out that I am being pursued, yes just convince them that I am on the run after discovering Black, and with them seeing my pursuers, they can let me through with the information and will be distracted in dealing with my pursuers. Furthermore I can do the same when I reach parliament, and while it's unlikely there'll be any other checkpoints, the fact I am through the others will convince them that I am right to go through.
Of course it may not work but what choice do I have? I cannot make up evidence for my story, I just have to use confidence, and be confident that it'll get us through. It has to for our fight for parliament, our nation, our sovereignty, determines on if I can infiltrate the building and take out our vile evil enemies there.
With this in mind and the both of us ready, we head off with a plan in mind, rehearsing in my head what to say in their language with regards my cover story, that I've overheard Black about some tactics that if countered could win this fight, and that I've killed him but I have some boats chasing me and will be there any second.
I therefore speed up the boat, while both myself and Bret look behind us as often as possible, as if to say help we are being chased, in fact in their language we scream that we need help as we drive towards them.
This attracts their attention as they wonder what's going on before their body language begins asking us what is wrong and how can they help.
"The Britannians are chasing us; we have just killed their leader while he was talking on his radio about important tactics that our honourable leader will want to hear. Please let us by." I beg to them in their language, as if frightened for my life.
"Baman, Baman are you there." I get out the radio speaking frantically in the same language as if concerned that my ally may have been killed by the pursuing Britannians.
"They'll be here any minute, let me through please." I plead to them in Gear's language.
As if on cue the sounds of pursuing speed boats can be heard, and this encourages them to believe my story and so they allow me through, with which I then go through the checkpoint as quickly as I can, and maintain the speed until I'll well away from the checkpoint.
It is then that I find myself growing concerned that while we're both through, have I done anything suspicious with regards my story, is there something up? I like to think not but the doubt is still there. In any case I have no time to think, I just have to keep going, besides which I am here and can't give up now, they're probably too busy to realise something may be up.
I do hope that they survive considering how outnumbered they would be against this lot, though I like to think my allies are soldiers of a better quality, and if they were to have died, at least it wouldn't be in vein. Plus which it's just a nightmare and the fact that the mission is completed is all that matters, that our nation and its people are safe. I hope it's the case, no no no no no it will be the case.
Because of the situation stressing me out, I have no time to appreciate the sights while being on the river, and to have a proper long satisfactory look at what's on either side of the river, as I'm sure it'll have nice features. I should be pleased to be on the famous river that goes around the capital city of this wonder nation that I come from and love, but it is the concern of it being destroyed unless I stop them that prevents me from truly taking in the sights.
Never the less it is thinking about this, and appreciating what I can of what I see, even if it's hard to spend any more time than registering the basic features and terrain, that helps in motivating myself even more about what I'm fighting for. As I go through different bridges, and see different buildings on each side of the river which look nice, I begin to wonder what they would do to it. Probably destroy the buildings, drain the river or do something to it so that it suffocates people and make it look horrible be it with sick, or corpses or something like that.
This I cannot allow to happen, though tragically I could potentially see a taste of their insane fantasy be a reality, as after going past a row of lovely trees, along with some boats that are parked on the side looking grand and bearing the Britainnian colours, I then see a few speed boats belonging to Gears, and on them are his troops executing Britainnian citizens in horrific manners. They consist of fish with large sharp teeth eating citizens alive after being chucked in, which I have no doubt have been imported, or the civilians being killed by a samurai sword as slowly and as painfully as possible, or being forced to fight each other to the death. They also have bazookas which I've no doubt they intend to use to destroy the ships that bear the Britainnian flag on them.
I cannot begin to imagine what it would be like if this was to be on a national scale, where rivers, roads, public squares would be full of executions of this sort of lots of people, masses of people, millions of people and all because they are patriotic towards this great nation that has done so much. Maybe it's just as well Noire and Uni aren't here to see this, because I can imagine the horror on their faces, to have to take in such nightmarish hell happening to such innocent people, who we lead and protect and look after. They're our people and to see them hurt and killed like this, is horrific.
In fact every fibre inside me yearned to attack those Gear morons and to put a stop to their killing of loyal Britainnian subjects, but I'm not just outnumbered but outgunned, and I realise that I need to look at the bigger picture. If I no when I defeat their leaders, then they will be punished, and it will only happen here not the rest of the nation. I also know that Noire and Uni while caring and kind and benevolent are also logical and smart, and would do the same thing as me.
With this in mind we head on and keep going, as we go through bridges in which there's no cars moving, no sounds of traffic, clear signs of their attempts at control, before spotting a checkpoint up ahead of boats in a formation full of guards armed with automatic weapons. Considering there was a checkpoint before us, and we're here maybe they'll let us through, it's worth a try but if not I'll have to rely on my story concerning Black and then, I'm confident that they will believe me and let me through the checkpoint.
As I speeded towards the checkpoint, I expected them to aim their weapons at me, or for them to warn me to stop but they don't. In fact instead they do what I hoped for, and they then with a few of their boats make way for me to go through them.
I am surprised yet concerned that this is going all too well for me, I'm amazed that they've let me through not once but twice, and the second time was even easier, but I know there's more to go, and for starters there's more of this river for us to go through, before we can even think of infiltrating parliament, perhaps then it'll get more difficult, or maybe it's a case of the calm before the storm.
Either way we have to keep going in my speed boat until we reach the point where it'll have to be on foot, and there'll be more guards to bluff my way through, before I can even get into the building where the enemy leaders are hiding.
I begin to see tall buildings on one side of the river and grander buildings on the other side, and it's not long after that, that after going past a few Gears speed boats who are setting fires to Britainnian ships in the middle of the river with its people in them and killing any who escape, that I go past a tall tower. Going past the tower makes my gut tell me that we are getting close, and if my memory serves, then it's just a matter of going through one more bridge and going past some big buildings before having to stop at the left, which is the closest to our destination by sea, and then I will avenge their deaths, as I will avenge the deaths of my sisters.
I make the call for the flotilla of Britainnian boats to make their attack which should provide a good diversion for us, by the time we reach our destination. I am pleased to have done it when I did, because I reach the checkpoint, consisting of speed boats in a formation and yet they have their backs to us and have their guns ready for the incoming Britainnian flotilla. I can hear gunfire in the distance, and the sounds of the troops in the checkpoint panicking, perhaps because the checkpoint further down are struggling against them.
This pleases me very much and with the situation going correctly for us, I take the advantage and just casually park my boat as quickly as I can to the left of the river, where there's a path for us taking us to the streets of this capital city, in which we fight for right now. They don't seem to have noticed us at all when we park, and we just get off as quickly as we can.
There are individual soldiers running down the ramp with their sub machine guns, to reinforce their checkpoint for the incoming attack, but they don't really notice our presence as both myself and Bert rush up the ramp too with much urgency. I also hear screams of urgency from the troops, as they try to repel the attack by the Britannians, it would be nice too if there were more attacks, and then they would really feel the pressure as us Britannians close in to parliament to take it back, so that our nation can live in freedom and prosperity once more.
But then I realise that they control a significant area around parliament, and on the outskirts of the area is where the fighting is happening, though I like to think that with more of us coming in, they'll eventually fall and their surrounding area will shrink. Annoyingly though because of the time limit, I still have to defeat the leaders due to the way this nightmare works, and then hold my position until reinforcements can arrive.
Upon approaching a checkpoint at the top of the ramp consisting of mounted Type 99s, with a dozen soldiers holding that position, I know that this is it, and I'll have to do my best to convince them, though hopefully with getting clearance from previous checkpoints it should be enough for them.
"Hey guys, I have some vital news for our honourable leader, with regards Lord Black Lead and his plans for attack. Please I must speak with him, before this checkpoint is over run." I say to them with much urgency in their language and even trying to use their mannerisms as well.
"You're lucky there is an attack, otherwise I would have had to have asked for your name and to confirm your story. Very well he is not in parliament but he's in the building opposite down there." He says to me with much irritation in his voice pointing to where I need to go, almost yelling in their tongue.
What a relief that is, but I cannot celebrate the continuation of my luck, and the benefits it brings to me, for we must continue onto the building he said.
Considering how nice it is in this area with the multiple story buildings, brick work and nice features. And also considering in particular the parliament building, with its architecture, colour and how detailed and grand it is, not to mention the main purpose it serves as it's where the issues of the nation and day are discussed, and bills are passed which they hope provide solutions to those issues, there is a couple of things which depress me.
Firstly is the lack of Britainnian flags, and instead there being loads of Gear flags and there are people standing by with hammers, and Molotov cocktails along with trucks with wrecking balls, and diggers ready to trash this lovely places, symbols of our nation which myself, my sisters and our people cherish so much. Secondly though and this is from all the armed troops and vehicles with weapons on them, with a few of them rushing with the intention of reinforcing checkpoints, it is the situation being ever so bleak considering the numbers of them.
Then there's also the concern, no the matter of there being checkpoints in the building, and it'll be full of enemies, and no doubt Cody Gears himself will have body guards and killing him will not be easy. Then there is the matter of dealing with the Planeptune CPEwwww and all her cronies, along with the enemy army. One thing I need to bear in mind is that the odds may be against me, and he may be an excellent soldier but so am I, and I am confident that it will be just me against him and a few bodyguards who I can easily take out.
I have no doubt it'll be a duel not just in who's the better soldier, but who has the better ideology, whether people should be ashamed of their past to not have their own nation state, to have to pay for eternity and to suffer endlessly and horribly, or whether to be proud of their history, their accomplishments, and to have nation states and to continue to make a difference for the better, and to prosper. I know I can destroy his ideology with mine, for while I have amnesia, I know that I knew my history, and whatever facts he comes up with, I'm confident it will trigger my memory and I will be able to come up with an adequate response.
After thinking these thoughts and walking, taking in the sights which while horrify me, motivate me yet again to continue the fight for all of us, I reach the destination where Cody Gears is in. Upon entering while it looks grand and large, the fact that they are trying to change the interior from a Britainnian one to a one from where they come from horrifies me, with them having paintings of their nobility, and samurai suits of armour on the walls, along with people tearing down wall paper which looked really nice with its yellows, and patterns on it indicating the Britainnian flag.
I cannot stand this vandalism, and it pains me to know, as I'm sure it would do the same for my sisters, that I cannot stop them here, and will have to swallow my pride and accept that it'll be a later time, before that happens. I realise that I cannot be distracted by their actions and focus on the task at hand, as one of the guards approach me, asking me why I am here.
"Hello. I wish to speak to our honourable leader about the enemy leader Lord Black Lead, and his battle plans, it's really urgent especially since there have been attacks on the river." I say to them with much urgency in their mother tongue, hoping that they'll believe me and either take me to him or tell me where he is.
"Ah he'll want to see you then being as we're facing a relentless assault and need to survive long enough for our victory, come with me." He says to me in the Gear's language, with his body language telling me to follow him, and be quick about it.
He then rushes upstairs, past more large paintings that have been covered up by art from their own place, and ornaments which are of the same thing. At least even in this state I can see how nice the wallpaper would look if it weren't for some of them trying to tear it down, and it's the same for the carpet and staircase which they've tried to cover up with different materials.
After this he takes the pair of us into a hall, which is really big but it's a tragic shame that the members of Gears are trying to ruin it, and it's such a shame because it would have looked really nice. It's also a shame that there are no seats in the hall either, but then again at least him speaking to me helps me to get the tragic things I see out of my mind.
"Our honourable leader is in the big sitting room interrogating some Britannians. You may go in but be prepared to wait for him. As for your buddy He'll have to wait outside for you. Hopefully this will ensure our success and help us to achieve our noble goal as it is our destiny." The arrogant member of Gears barks to me in his language, before leaving.
Well this is it; this is my chance to put an end to Cody Gears, the guy who would have the audacity to take our country and to wreck it, all because of something in history which everyone was doing, just like Neptune wanting to destroy Lastation for defeating her even though she was doing the exact same thing. It is very fitting that they would team up, and so it's only fitting that just I have defeated the Planeptune CPEwww numerous times, I will defeat Cody and defeat him however many times he wishes to show up in my nightmares. I have my Nambu and a bullet in the head should do it.
Yet something tells me that considering that he is a leader, he won't be easy to take down and I can only hope that there are some weapons even if they are antiques to do it, but it's do or die time. He must be stopped at all costs, and he must be stopped now, and with this in mind I walk through the hall in a quick march towards my target, my enemy, with thoughts racing through my mind about what to say and when to strike, and to shoot him in the head if I can, along with looking for some weapons I could use.
I enter the large room and the only difference is it's wider and not as long, and again it has peeling wallpaper, art of their culture covering Britainnian paintings, and ornaments, though there is a grand golden weapons cabinet next to me with patterns indicating Britainnian culture despite attempts to cover or vandalise it. In this cabinet is a double barrel shot gun with half of the barrel sawn off, and a long samurai sword, which I pick up as quietly as I can, checking to see the sawn off has ammunition which it does.
Before picking up the weapons I quietly take off my Gears clothes to show my target that I am a patriotic Britainnian, and I also notice what must be Cody since standing next to him is who I recognise to be Lelouch and C.C.
The short black haired with a fringe and hair covering most of his face Lelouch, with his overt red eye, despite his clear allegiance to Cody still wears the same outfit as he does in the anime. This consists of a navy blue jacket with white sleeves, and gold seams, along with trousers of the same colour with the seams continuing. In fact it looks like it's all one piece, and on top of that he wears a large cape with a massive collar, in which inside is red while the outside is blue, and the surrounding seam is gold.
Meanwhile C.C the long light green haired female with fringes and bangs and has hazel eyes, looks like she does in the anime. She wears white trousers with a diamond shaped pattern in gold, along with a black military jacket with flaps that cover her knees and the back of her knees, both flaps having gold seams. There are also gold seams around the wrist parts of her jacket, her collar, and some sort of fabric around her neck which reaches her shoulders and above her breasts, with the seam going down from her collar, and also jutting about a bit on both sides in a circular shape with a gold dot in the centre of the semi-circle. She also wears what appear to bronze upper arm bands, and has a white symbol on her jacket with what looks like a V with wings, and what looks like a spear going through the middle and two small white Vs one on either side.
As for Cody Gears himself, he is fully armoured in a samurai suit in which it's completely white with a red cog symbol on the middle.
They all have their backs to me and must be interrogating some poor Britainnians, and upon seeing Cody and his sidekicks I may not know much about them, apart from Lelouch being the main character of the anime and rebelling against the Britannians, and C.C perhaps being immune and being involved in experiments, but I know I hate the anime.
I hate the anime and what it stands for, the idea that we're villains because of history even though it's not unique to us, and it can apply to them as well. It is not right that due to history and because of me being of this nation that I am automatically a villain, what has this nation done historically that can be considered objectively and uniquely bad, when considering the context and comparing it to other nations since that's the context?
What happened is a response to circumstances, and for them to pick us as the villains when there are so many others that are worse, is wrong, and even then I wouldn't condemn them to being villains and for them to be ashamed for eternity.
No one is perfect, and what makes it even more sad is that I know the Britannians in the anime do not equate to what I actually know of them right here.
No one should be ashamed of their history, to have their identity erased, their bank account erased, along with their dignity, their safety, their proud moments, their culture, they should be proud of their accomplishments, their achievements. We should all just get on and fix the world and make it a better place, and when it's fixed we move on and do not condemn them for past mistakes.
After all we're human we make mistakes but we learn from them, overall all we're guilty of is turning our survival into prosperity, that overall is an achievement. In fact just as Lastation should not feel guilty for defeating Planeptune when they were trying to do the same thing to Lastation, Britannians shouldn't feel guilty of our history, we should be proud of our amazing accomplishments. Hail Britannia for we rule the waves and we'll never ever be slaves.

Funnily enough what Cody demands to these Britannians is just as I expected him to do as I over hear his conversation.
"It is a nice day for a walk, and it appears it should be wash day for you Britannians, not to mention you're a couple of books short on honour and respect, but right now there is something more important. You have conquered people, including mine and turned our places completely into your own, and so it's only fitting we do the same for you. Reparations, your money give it to me NOW!" Cody speaks in an arrogant tone in my language.
"We will never surrender to you. Get lost arsehole." The Britannians admirably say in defiance.
"You won't be needing any reparations." I say to Gears in my own language with much defiance.
The trio of villains then look at me distinctly, and with this in mind I can imagine them scanning me, and knowing that I'm not just any old Britainnian armed with a long samurai sword and sawn off, but I am in fact Lord Black Lead.
"I have been looking for you." I then say with much anger in my voice, and eagerness to take them down.
"HE'S A BRITANNIAN, A BRITANNIAN AND PATRIOTIC AND THEIR LEADER. KILL HIM KILL HIM NOW!" Cody Gears responds with much shock that I am here and with much venom in his voice.
I am not surprised he would hate someone like me, someone who is proud of this nation when he clearly thinks the opposite.
The pair of them both Lelouch and C.C who then stand in front of Cody as if to say to me I've got to get through to them first if I am to take out Cody, attempts to kill me with the former trying to use his gun against me, only for me to shoot him dead first. Hah he should have spent less time giving me evils and more time on preparing to shoot, but no matter it's better that way not just for me but for our nation.
While C.C manages to get her gun aimed at me, I am too quick for her, for after shooting Lelouch I immediately shoot her knocking her to the ground, only for her to curse her mortality, relieving me very much. In fact it's just as well I just shot her and not paused to think if she was immortal like in the anime, since if I hesitated, she would have shot me.
It's a bit odd for that to be the case and since it's a nightmare I am baffled, but maybe since it's Neptune's nightmare she just wanted to have a couple of characters from the anime in it to try and break me, and taunt me about the idea of my nation being bad and it falling, just as she tried to do with Lastation, and yet she must have forgotten that C.C is meant to be immortal.
Then again she might be aware and just make it a bit of a challenge before I have my duel against Cody Gears, along with trying to hurt me psychologically on the idea that I've killed a Britainnian and someone the Britannians tried to involve in some experiment, even though the former is a traitor, and the latter is made up with regards the circumstances, in fact the whole concept is based on is made up and stupid and for one thing….
I cannot think anymore because I have made Cody angry judging by his body language, as he wields his samurai sword, and yells in his language to any of his troops that can hear before charging towards me.
He says that although he is here, he wishes to fight and then kill me alone, as he feel it's the honourable thing to do, to have a duel. While I don't consider myself to be the best swordsmen and he perhaps is and is probably proficient with it, I am confident I can defeat him. I must defeat him for my nation Britannia for all its achievements to the world and it's right to live and prosper. I also must defeat him for my ideology of being respectful to one another, and to live in peace, prosperity and to be proud of one's accomplishment which can bring inspiration, and for former enemies to be good allies who trade and co-operate.
With my sword now in my right hand I am ready to deflect his first strike, as we begin our sword duel to the death, and perhaps debate our ideologies too, which will be a first for me.
Come on Cody, let's see what you got, but whatever it is, I will defeat you just like Neptune, and that's a promise, and you'll just postpone the inevitable defeat, and like your arguments you will fall to me.
