Chapter 3 The North and South Stars vs The White Knight
The date was August 10 in the year 2010 of the Imperial Calendar. The Holy Britannian Empire had just declared war upon Japan. Confronted by Britannia's newest weapon, the formidable Knightmare Frame, Japan fell to its enemy in less than a month. The conquered nation was stripped of its freedom, rights, culture and dignity. Finally, even its name was taken away. 11. The name of Japan and its people was replaced with a mere number. But now as if from heaven five stars and the north star have appeared to save the people of this world.
In the ghetto
I don't understand what do you mean by Fist of the North Star? Lelouch said still shocked at what he had just witnessed.
Then Ken spoke. I am the 64th successor of Hokuto Shinken. The divine Fist of the North Star.
wait... Were you the one who had something to do with big dipper constellation last night? Lelouch questioned.
So you witnessed it to didn't you? It means the divine fist has come as will if I had to guess that would mean the successor's of the Nanto Seiken are here as will he Finished speaking.
Lelouch was shocked. Wait there are others like you? He questioned but before they could continue a Knightmare came through the wall.
How could all these Royal Guards be dead? Huh a boy and an Eleven? What happened here, boy? And why is a Britannian student in a place like this?! And you Eleven did you kill all these Royal Guards Are you deaf? Answer me or I'll-
Hmm was all Ken said and it angered the Pure blood and she shot at both of them but they both stayed calm.
Answer me! She demanded.
Kenshiro was ready to fight but Lelouch was ready to use the new power he had gotten from the girl who died. Hold on just let do the talking. My name is Allen Spacer, my father's a duke. And the man here is my body guard. Ken knew what Lelouch trying to do. He trying to get them out of this.
Your nobility? And he's your body guard.
Yes my ID card's in my breast pocket. After you confirm who I am, me and my guard will request your protection.
Both of you keep your hands up in the air, I'll take out your ID
Lelouch then saw his chance. Now then, hand your Knightmare over to me. As he's geass took effect.
Understood. The code number is XG21G2D4. As she through to Lelouch Got it. Ken was of course as taking a back by what Lelouch had just done. But Lelouch just said. Will talk about this later we got a go now. As Lelouch got in the knightmare while Kenshiro jumped on to the shoulder and Ken looked at the dead girls body and Lelouch said there's nothing we can do for her now let her rest in peace. They then left.
As Villetta came to she looked and saw the boy and the Eleven and her knightmare were gone. What the?
Near the mobile G-1 base in an ambulance
Suzaku being to regain consciousness as he did a man with white hair spoke to him.
So are we having a bad day? Looks like you missed a chance to go to heaven, Private Kururugi.
did? Suzaku said confused. Where?
Hmm? Ah, we're still in the Shinjuku Ghetto Lloyd said.
With Prince Clovis nearby this is probably the safest place anywhere. This is what saved your life, Mr. Suzaku.
Cecile showed it. It was a pocket watch.
You're lucky it was under your protective suit because that's what deflected the bullet Lloyd said.
Is it a keepsake? She asked.
Yeah, very. He said.
You Elevens believe that gods live inside of everything, even objects, don't you? I guess this one–
Is Lelou- What's the latest on the situation? He questioned.
Your not going to believe this Private Kururugi but half of the knightmare frames have been destroyed! Llyod said.
What how? Did the terrorist do it? he said shocked.
It wasn't the terroist Mr. Suzaku it was a man Cecile said.
A man? Suzaku questioned.
YES! Llyod said ecstatic THIS MAN APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE A SLICED THEM ALL HALF! Llyod yelled with joy.
But that's impossible! Suzaku said still not believing it.
Look here's its a recording one of the knightmares captured before the were destroyed.
The video in question showed the man named Souther performe his Tenshō Jūji Hō Technique. Suzaku was shocked beyond belief that a man just destroyed on of Britannia's most powerful weapon with no effort.
How... How is that possible? He questioned.
Private Kururug! You most tell me what this man is saying he's speaking in your language! As he rewound the video
Nanto Hōō Ken Tenshō Jūji Hō! The video stopped. You most tell me what did he say?! Llyod asked.
Will the first sentence means South Dipper Fenghuang Phoenix Fist. And the other means Heaven Soaring Cross Phoenix he explained.
Suzaku you most capture him. With him captured who knows what we could learn! We maybe able to gain the power of a God! Llyod said happily and excited.
Will how can i capture him when he could cut me down so easily? Suzaku questioned.
Private Kururugi, how much experience do you have in piloting a Knightmare frame? He asked.
Suzaku looked confused. But there's no way an Eleven would be made a knight.
Well, supposing you could? He asked.
Congratulations, the only Knightmare of its kind awaits you! Once you take the controls of this big beauty everything will change, you and your world. Llyod said.
Whether you want it to or not Cecile asked.
Meanwhile on the battlefield
More japanese were being killed by Britannian's until Kallen's knightmare came up and started attacking the soldiers.
Those damn Britannians! Kallen said both angered and saddened.
Kallen, can the Glasgow still move? The man on the radio said to Kallen.
Don't worry Ogi, it's all right. I'll decoy them! Get the people out of here. The only ones that'll be captured are those of us in the resistance.
I know but we're trapped, they've got us completely surrounded. Ogi said until he saw Britannian soldier's retreating.
Run we got get out of here! One soldier said as the others ran away.
Ogi then saw a man with white hair walking in the soldier's direction. The man was large like he worked out but what caught Ogi off was his face. He had scars on both sides of his face and he saw the man's eyes there white and Ogi figured it out the man was blind.
Then more Britannian soldier's showed up this time armed with guns. The man then spoke you really think those litte pee shooters are going to do any good? The man said.
Open fire! Open fire! The lead soldier said. But the blind man dodged all the bullets with such lighting speed. Until the ran out of ammo.
Now the man spoke. Its my turn but before i kill you all I'll tell you who I'm. My name is Shu my star is Jinsei the Star of Benevolence i am master of Nanto Hakurō Ken style Shu said.
Now time for all pay for all the innocent lives you've killed find redemption in the after Life! As he moved his hands in a strange way the all so more of hands surround them.
Yūgen Shō! Shu said. Then he attack striking one of the men with a jab into his heart. He then used another Technique
Rekkyaku Kūbu! As he span rapidly and kicked all them taking off there heads.
Ogi was shocked at what he had just witnessed and Shu saw Ogi and said. You and people should get out of here and let me and my allies handle this as Shu walked away leaving Ogi flabbergasted.
Meanwhile with Kallen
Kallen was still fighting until she saw her knightmares energy Just 30 minutes left! she said scared until another enemy knightmare attack her from behind and knocked hers to the ground. She then thought she was going to die as the enemy was about to kill her.
No i can't die here Naoto mother im sorry. She thought until she heard laughter on her radio.
Ha ha ha ha ha! So once again you Britannian's show how barbecue you really are. Striking a defenseless girl with no mercy. You really are animals. The all looked and saw a long haired blonde man looking down at them.
Who... Is that.
Who the hell do you think you are?! The Britannian yelled angered.
My name is Shin master of the Nanto Koshū Ken style, my symbol is Junsei the Star of Martyrdom. Now i will give you one chance to leave with your life or you can die by my hands.
Damn you Eleven as the solider fired at Shin jump out of the way and dives down fine then you choose death as Shin preforms a technique
Hien Zan! as Shin did a flying kick and destroyed the knightmares head. In shock Kallen could not comprehend what she had seen a man just destroyed a knightmare with a single kick. And was reminded of Kenshiro and the other man she saw Souther and now this man.
Wh-who are these guys th-they make the knightmare frame's look like kids toys. She thought.
The solider was then pulled of the cockpit by the neck and bagged for mercy. Please don't kill me please.
So you don't want do don't you? Will what about the other's huh? All the men women and children you and Britannia killed you and the rest of your filthy government deserve death!
No!
Nanto Gyakushi Sō! As Shin stab his fingers in the man's chest like a hot knife through butter.
While Kallen was trying to get out of the knightmare Shin offered the help her up. Here let me help.
She looked a saw his face and thought to herself. He's handsome she thought with a blush.
Think you Shin was it? She asked
Yes and your welcome but you need to get to safety now.
But i can't what about the civilians? She asked.
Don't worry me and my allies have already taken care of that just find a place to hide. As Shin left her.
Wa-wait! She tried to talk but he was gone.
Meanwhile with Lelocuh and Kenshiro
Lelouch and Ken had found a place to hide using the knightmare they stole and while the hid Lelouch asked how Ken did all that against those soldier's with just his fist and what did he mean by being the fist of the north star and what are the Nanto Seiken. Ken explained how he came from another world though he did not how but he continued and said how his world was destroyed by nuclear war and how it began a time called the age of power were only the strongest survive a time were devil's smile. Lelouch was shocked to here about Ken's world and knew that compared to Ken's world Lelouch's world has it better. Ken then continued explained about how he was chosen by his RyuuKen who was the 63th successor and how he needed to pass the art Hokuto Shinken to next generation. But he had no son so instead he adopted four boys and trained them in art of Hokuto Shinken. The name of the 3 other boys were Raoh Toki and Jagi. And then talks about 5 Nanto Seiken and how the 6th was actually his fiancé Yuria. Lelouch listened like he was hearing fantasy story about warriors kings and queens and the deadly martial arts of Hokuto and Nanto.
Now I've told you my story whats yours? Ken asked.
Lelouch tells his story about how he and his blind and crippled sister Nunnally were once a prince and princess of Britannia. But there mother was murdered by who Lelouch did not know be he intense to find out.
So what's the plan Lelouch? Ken asked.
I don't know. But if you say these Nanto Seiken are here we should look for them.
Then they heard screaming. Ahhhh!
They looked and saw a number of soldiers all cut up into pieces. Then they noticed a man standing there. The man in question was wearing a purple outfit he had red hair and was wearing makeup on his face and Ken knew who it was.
Its Yuda he's one of Nanto Seiken. Ken said surprised.
He's one of the Fists of the South Star?
Then a knightmare came out nohwere but all Yuda did was laugh in amusement.
So more of the ugly toys? It has no grace or beauty to me it just an eyesore but before your death he continued.
I am Yuda of the Nanto Kōkaku Ken style my star is Yōsei the Star of Enchantment now die.
Yoda pointed his finger and said.
Yōsō Hazan! He used a Powerful vertical slice that killed the pilot by splitting him and his knightmare in half and walks away.
Wait Yuda! Ken called out who then turned and smiled.
Mmm so i was right you are here as will Kenshiro and you have a friend.
Are the other's here as well? Ken asked.
Yes but right now we have more pressing matters right now.
Back at the G-1 base
In side Clovis was beyond terrified these strange men have appeared out of nowhere and have decimated most of his army.
Who? Who in the hell are theses men?! they've destroyed half my forces Clovis then knew he had one option left Lloyd!
Yes, Your Highness.
Can it win, will your toy beat them? Clovis asked.
My Lord, please be so kind as to call it Lancelot Llyod corrected.
Lancelot now activating. Lancelot activating. Releasing hatch Lancelot standby for activation. Pallet extension initiating.
Did you read the manual?
Pretty much.
Well done. You scored at the top of the class in the simulator.
Hey, look. About what you told me earlier.
Huh? Ah, it could be.
But the possibility is nearly zero.
But that means there's still a chance, right?
Yes, I'm afraid that's true.
Even so, you're not to do anything reckless. The new system is not outfitted with an ejection mechanism.
OK. I understand, Miss Cecile. That's it?
Yes, the advanced weapon developed by us in the Advanced Special Envoy Engineering Corps, Lancelot, the world's first seventh generation Knightmare Frame.
Well, if you're ready, Suzaku, shall we proceed with the initial startup? Oh remember you most capture at lest on of those men.
Initial startup. Now percieving from phase twenty. Equiping energy filler. Confirm pre-start. Energy filler now at full output. 30 seconds to reach critical voltage. Core Luminance, shifting phase. Initiating devicer setup. Confirming entry of devicer into Z-01. Individual ID registration confirmed. Confirm man-machine interface. Engage. Yggdrasil Resonance comfirmed. Rejection Responce, weak. Devicer's Stress Responce, weak. All readings, nominal…
So far, it's going per the data. …status, all green. Status of back up tactical bank, authorized. Secondary confirmation, given.
Lancelot, activate ME-boost.
Lancelot, launch!
HAHAHAHA! Running full throttle right out of the gate.
Cooler than the manual. With this…!
Meanwhile back on the battle
Lelouch Kenshiro and Yuda were looking for the other Nanto Seiken until they saw them fighting the soldier's and Knightmares.
let's get out of here! Lets run for it!
HI-YAH! Tenshō Gunsei Kyaku! Souther used another technique to kick a hole into a knightmare with machines ejecting its pilot.
with all of the enemy force disposed of they all see Yuda Ken and Lelouch and greeted them. Will Ken its good to see you old friend. Shin greeted Ken then spoke its good to see you all ok but how are you here? i thought you were dead. We were Shu explained but something saved us form death Rei said. Yeah but we don't know what it was but it said it needed us to help save the people of this world Souther finished.
They all heard the sound of something speeding and saw it was a white and gold Knightmare fram Lancelot. Oh what fresh hell is this? Yuda said confused.
The Lancelot then attacked using its slash harkens as all the fighters jumped at it with Lelouch making his slient escape. Im sorry Kenshiro i hate to leave you but I'm the only one that can stop this battle. As ran to Clovises personal transport while the others were busy fighting the Lancelot.
The first to attack was Yuda Kesshō Shi! As he rapidly struck the Lancelot with like strikes.
Then Shu was next to attack Hakuro Senku Kyaku! As he moved and span rapidly and kicked with his right leg hitting the knightmare in the head.
The Lancelot the pulled its sword struck the two Nanto's knocking them back. But the Souther Shin and Rei turn to attack. Souther then attack with his technique.
Yūshō Gaku! As he stabbed rapidly in the chest of the Lancelot. And the Shin the attacked. Kaketshu Juji So! Stricking the ground causing a large cross to cut in the ground, but the Lancelot blocked most of the attack with its energy shield. Rei then counterd Jinshū Shi Zan! Then dived down and struck the Lancelot.
Damn these guys are monsters! Suzaku said realizing he's knightmare was evenly matched with the five Nanto Seiken masters. But then Suzaku saw a mother falling jumped up and save her and her child. The Nanto masters saw this and were shocked realizing the pilot was a decent person even though they did not know who he was.
Meanwhile at the G-1
Huh? He saved someone?
Yes, so it would seem.
Hm… It's very strange of him.
Be careful with his operational time!
Yes, sir. Lloyd
My, that boy's an excellent piece of equipment.
Stop there,a soldier said show your ID.
This is Prince Clovis's personal transport.
At last, the check point. And barely guarded, per my plan. Soldier Lelouch said. Your plan? the soldier said confused. That's right. Now I'd like you to let me pass. Using his geass on the guard. Yes, sir. Understood.
Meanwhile back with Suzaku and the Nanto Seiken
Attention all forces. Cease fire at once.
Suzaku was shocked at what he heard. Cease fire?
I Clovis, third prince of Britannia and royal viceroy of Area Eleven, here by command you, all forces are ordered to cease fire at once. You also cease destruction of any buildings or property. All casualties, whether Britannian or Eleven, shall be treated equally and without prejudice. In the name of Clovis la Britannia, you are here by ordered, cease fire at once. I shall allow no further fighting. Are you satisfied?
Very. Well done. Clovis then asked And what shall we do now? Sing a few lively ballads, or perhaps a nice game of chess?
Lelouch then said. That has a familiar ring.
Hmm? Clovis paused.
Don't you recall? The two of us used to play chess together as boys. Of course, I would always win.
What? Clovis was shocked Remember? At the Aries Villa? Lelouch asked. You, who are you? he asked It's been a long time, big brother. The eldest son of the late consort Marianne and seventeenth in line to the imperial throne, Lelouch vi Britannia, at your service.
Lelouch?! B-But I thought–
That I was dead? You were wrong. I have returned, Your Highness. And I've come back to change everything.
I'm overjoyed, Lelouch. They said you died when Japan was brought into the fold. What a blessing to have you back. We should depart for the homeland immediately.
So you can use me as a tool of diplomacy? It seems you've forgotten why we were used as tools in the first place. That's right. It was because my mother was killed. Mother held the title of knight of honor but was a commoner by birth. No doubt the other imperial consorts held her in contempt. Even though you made it look like the work of terrorists, I'm no fool. You people killed my mother.
It wasn't me. I swear to you it wasn't Clovis said panicked.
Then tell me everything you know. The truth cannot be hidden from me any longer. By whose hand was she slain? Using his geass.
My brother second prince Schneizel and second princess Cornelia, they can tell you.
L They were at the heart of this? That's all that you know, isn't it.
I swear it wasn't me. I had nothing to do with it.
I believe you. However– said pulling out a gun. Please, you can't! We may have different mothers but you and I are still blood.
You can't change the world without getting your hands dirty he was about fire until a hand pulled the gun out of his hand he turned and saw it was Kenshiro. Don't do it. do not stain your soul with blood.
What! Are you just gonna let him live? He caused all these deaths! He yelled.
I know but let me take care of this.
Fine. Lelouch said begrudgingly.
Wait Lelouch don't let him kill me please!
Your already dead. WATA ATATATATATATATATATA WATA!
Hyakuretsu Dan! Ken finshed of Clovis
Ahhhhhhhh! As Clovis exploded from the inside.
Clovis Lelouch said disappointed damn what wast.
Will thats it for chapter 3 tell me what you think please.
