Code Geass: A Timely Intervention

Brief Foreword:
This little piece is something that I whipped up a few weeks ago, and never really did anything with it. However I since decided to see what others thought of it and posting it online.
Moving on, this idea came to me originally after I read the profile on the Guren Mk-Is and that India had sold a few off. I then wondered if they it mentions them building a few I wondered what happened to the others and then that single idea mutated into this which combined with an older idea I had, which was basically a what if the Indian reinforcements that the Black Knights were expecting during the events of the series had actually arrived. Therefore this small story emerged from those two ideas and I do hope you enjoy it.

Mausoleum of Eighty-Eight Emperors
Changping Province, Chinese Federation
April 7, 2018 a.t.b
As the battle between the Order of the Black Knights and its First Mobile Division against the combined forces of the Chinese Federation and the Britannian Empire entered a small stand-off as the gathered troops all looked in shock at the appearance of the Type 0/0A Shinkiro Knightmare Frame. The new seventh-generation Knightmare Frame hovered majestically over the kneeling form of the XT-409 Shen Hu protecting it along with the small form of the Chinese Tainzi Empress lying at the feet of the larger knightmare. However this small stand-off didn't last long as a large beam of red and black energy appeared out of nowhere to hit the floating form of the Britiannan Airship Avalon damaging the ship's gravity defying float unit sending it reeling away with smoke pouring out its wounds. Once more the gathered forces looked on in shock as the form of a new airship appeared from behind a nearby hill to advance on the shocked combined Chinese/Britannia Forces while the members of the Black Knight's First Mobile Division cheered.
The new airship gracefully banked its form towards the towering pyramid-like form of the Chinese Loyalist Longdan Class Mobile Fortress while it closed the panel covering its main weapon, the Radiant Wave Blast Cannon. This airship is the new Indian Combat Airship Durga based heavily on the design of still under-construction Kamikaze Class Aerial Destroyers. However unlike the Kamikaze Class the Durga sports a wider main body allowing it to sport two catapults in layout similar to that of the Ikaruga on either side of the main body. It sports eight high-velocity guns in paired turrets on the tops and bottoms of the wings along with a few smaller single barrel guns elsewhere on the ship. However the masterpiece of the design was the top-mounted Radiant Wave Blast Cannon. All in all it is a one of a kind warship that really lived up to its name as the warrior aspect of the Indian God.
As the Durga entered the battle, its Knightmare compliment of eight dark-blue painted Type-01 Guren Mk-I Knightmares and a dozen brand-new RK-98 Shadow Knightmares based heavily on the Black Knight's own Type-05 Akatsuki launched from the two catapults of their mothership entering into the battle tearing into the remaining Britannian RPI-212B Vincent Wards and Chinese controlled TQ-98 Ying-Zi, twins to the Indian controlled RK-98s, flying above the main Chinese Forbidden City's Red Guard TQ-19 Gun-Ru Knightmare force on the ground. As this happened the remaining Knightmare force of the First Mobile Division advanced on the Red Guard with a mighty cheer.
In the cockpit of the Shinkiro Lelouch vi Britannia, otherwise known as Zero, looked on with a small smile at the appearance of the Indian forces to the battle. The double punch of his appearance and the appearance of the Indian Forces shocked the opposing force. A beep from his controls made the smile larger and he picked up the hawk-like mask that made him Zero before placing on his head with that same damn smile. With a click the helmet locked down around his head and he entered a command to his communication controls to make a small window open on his holographic HUD showing the bearded face of Commander Santosh Chawla, commander of the Durga and the Indian Rebel Forces that had allied with the Black Knights along with the older brother to Rakshata Chawla creator of the entire Black Knight Knightmare line. The man was beaming with pride and happiness for his timely arrival.
"Master Zero I apologize for our late arrival but we had been detained briefly by the Chinese 27th Shock Army once we entered Chinese airspace from Horai," the towering man reported making the masked leader nod in understanding.
"So the High Eunuchs had indeed caught onto my plan and tried to delay you. Anyways I see you took the opportunity to test the Radiant Wave Blast Cannon? Rakshata should be pleased that it worked," he mentioned with a smile underneath his helmet making the other man snort in response before he looked out of the range of the communication camera for a moment before turning back.
"Yes it worked beautifully, it's a pity that it didn't destroy the Avalon," he replied with a large grin on his face making Lelouch in his guise of Zero to chuckle slightly as he eyed the mentioned airship on his displays as it floundered around in the air.
"Yes it's a pity, though it looks like you managed damaged its main Float unit so it won't get far," he observed with a nod of his head. The face of Santosh grinned once more at that with a slight bow of his head towards the camera. However before the other man could say anything another beep announced another incoming communication.
"Pardon me a moment Commander," he said before minimizing the window of the commander and opened another window showing the grinning face of Diethard Reid.
"Zero it has been done, riots are already sprouting up all over the Federation!" the former newsman reported with a laugh making Lelouch once more smile in victory. He heard the shocked gasp and resulting laughter from Santosh who had been listening in as well as getting his own report from his men confirming it. His window soon returned to normal alongside the window of Reid showing the Indian man laughing.
"Oh this is great! Master Zero you are truly a master of your craft! Now its time to finish this!" the man called out joyously before ending the connection closing his window making Zero grin evilly behind his mask at the other's man words. He turned his attention to waiting form of Diethard and knew that is now time to finish it.
"Diethard! Continue the broadcast and start including images of the fight here with it," he ordered making the media man beam.
"Yes Zero it shall be done!" he replied with a grin before getting back to work allowing Lelouch to turn his attention to the battle at hand.
He watched the various displays with grim satisfaction as one showed a Guren Mark-I shoving its new Radiant Lance into the body of one of the few remaining Chinese TQ-98s making the body start to bubble as the lance's own internal Radiant Wave Surger went to work. A second display showed the form of the Zangetsu as it tore into a pair of Britannian Vincent Wards with its Katana before turning back to its fight with the Lancelot while the Akatsuki Command Types of Chiba, Ashina, and CC buzzed around the downed form of the Mordred behind the two battling Knightmares. Another display showed the stationary form of the Longdan Fortress as it tried to take down the graceful form of the Durga as the two exchanged fire with their cannons, while around the maneuvering airship the Indian RK-98 Shadows went to work on the few remaining Chinese bombers and a fresh squadron of VTOL Gunships that appeared. He could also see four of the Guren Mark-Is dueling with the Tristan across the battle-zone on the same display as the five Knightmares drifted through the cannon duel between the Fortress and Airship. Down on the ground the remaining Akatsukis of the First Mobile Division tore into the Red Guard Gun-Run Knightmares destroying many of the squat aging Fourth-Generation Knightmares.
As he observed the final act of the battle he saw that his plans were finally turning to his favour, granted it wasn't how he thought his plans would go but it still worked out in the end. Looking over the display showing the Durga exchanging fire with now smoking and damaged Longdan he thought he better have contact Santosh and mention he shouldn't destory the Fortress for he was sure Kallen was being held somewhere in the large fortress. Just as she prepared to do so another window snapped onto his display showing the bridge of the Ikaruga.
"The Britinnians are retreating and the rest of the Governmental forces are surrendering," one of the operators reported making Zero nod pleased that this battle was now over. He quickly notified the Durga to hold off from destroying its target before turning his Knightmare to look down at the still kneeling form of Shen Hu and the shocked form of the Tanzi. Yes his plans had now been completed, granted not in the way he originally created them but that was life and everything was now right.

Main Briefing Room
BKS Ikaruga
Forbidden City, Chinese Federation
April 9, 2018 a.t.b
Over two days later found Lelouch once more in his guise of Zero walking out of the main briefing room of the Ikaruga, now hovering peacefully over the Forbidden City,with an Alliance between the United States of Japan and the Chinese Federation now secured. As he walked he found Li Xingke waiting for him by the elevator and nodded to the man before waving for him to follow behind him into the elevator.
"I am going to assign you the Durga and two of our brand new Kamikaze Class Aerial Destroyers to help in chasing down the remaining supporters of the High Eunuchs. I will have to take the Azure Squadron with me back to Horai Island to help replace the losses suffered to the First Mobile Division but with your remaining men getting brand new RK-98 Shadows to replace your old Gun Runs it shouldn't be a problem," he told the shocked Chinese man who smiled briefly before shaking his head.
"Thank you Zero for that should be plenty to take care of the last supporters of the Eunuchs. However what about the report of Dalian Missile Base?" the man asked looking over at him with a frown mentioning the report about the Missile Base still in the hands of the High Eunuch's Forces.
"I shall be assigning General Tohdoh and the newly formed Second Mobile Division to taking care of that problem along with the other forces still in that area," he answered with a nod of his head as the elevator came to a stop and opened it doors.
"Understood then I shall turn my attention to hunting down the remnants of the 39th Shock Army in the Yangchen Province. That said I should get together with your Commander Chawla to start our preparations," Xingke replied with a small smile on his face as Zero exited the elevator heading towards his quarters letting the doors close behind him. As he turned he saw both CC and Kallen waiting for him by the doors to his quarters.
"Ah! I see the Doctor has released you finally Kallen," he called out joyfully as he approached the two women. Kallen had luckily been still in the custody of the Chinese, but had almost been transferred over to the Avalon like the damaged Guren. However the High Eunuchs had wanted to keep Kallen with them for a while in case they needed her as bargaining chip.
"Yes there was nothing really wrong with me after all," the red-haired ace replied with a smile looking over at him. Standing at her side with her arms around her precious Cheese-kun CC only snorted at this making the other woman glare at her.
"I think the reason why the kept you so long was to check if you had any mental problems since you should have known that that the Guren didn't have enough power for another battle when you went out to fight Xingke," the green-haired immortal fired off to the other woman whose glare increased in intensity at that crack. Lelouch blinked at this before quickly interrupting the two before started to fight.
"Anyways with the arrival of the Second Division we shall start heading back to Horai Island to start repairs on the Ikaruga and start rebuilding the First. With both Xingke and Tohdoh here the remaining forces loyal to the Eunuchs shall not last for long. However I must return to Ashford now that everything is done here," he mentioned smoothly and started to enter his secured quarters with the two women following behind him. CC quickly started to lay on one of the comfortable couches while Kallen took a seat in one of the comfy chairs watching as Lelouch talked briefly with CC about something before starting to prepare himself to head back to Japan.
"I still can't believe the Guren is now in the hands of Suzaku, and Britannia. Now I would have to make do with an Akatsuki Command Type most likely," Kallen mentioned with a sigh as Lelouch walked out of his closet in his Ashford uniform. Lelouch smiled over at her and took a seat next to her.
"Oh I wouldn't be so sure about that Kallen, for Rakshata has taken possession of a spare Guren Mk-I from Azure Squadron and has started working on it," he mentioned with a chuckle surprising her before she started to smile.
"I hope she doesn't give me that Lance of theirs, for it is a bit too Britannian for my tastes," she replied shaking her head making the two others chuckle in agreement with her.
"Well then Kallen why don't you head on down to the hanger to see what she has planned," Lelouch suggested with a calm smile on his face making Kallen nod in agreement.
"Yes I shall do that, but before I do..." she said getting up from her seat and leaning towards Lelouch to give him a kiss on his cheek making him blush.
"Again thank you for getting me out of there," she whispered to him before turning and racing out of the room leaving the shocked form of Lelouch and the amused CC behind her.

Post Chapter Notes:
Well I hope you all enjoyed that smack down I delivered to the forces of the High Eunuchs and the forces of Avalon. Honestly this story is more of the second idea I mentioned, in that it is about the arrival of the Indian Reinforcement Force during the battle around the Mausoleum of Eighty-Eight Emperors then the first idea of the Indian built Guren Mk-Is, though they do a make an appearance here.
Now the Durga basically looks like an enlarged version of the Small Black Knight Airship seen in the last episodes. The center section is a bit wider allowing it to sport a pair of catapults instead of a one. These catapults flank the Radiant Wave Blast Cannon which is the main gun of the ship. Meanwhile the RK-98 Shadow and TQ-98 Ying-Zi Knightmares are basically the same Knightmare just different designations, and are basically based on the RK-98 Shadow from the Full Metal Panic Novels and Anime which I think looks similar to the Akatsuki in the body. The story behind this Knightmare is that the leader of India had sold incomplete plans on the Akatsuki to the Eunuchs along with the Shen-Hu.
Anyways I hope everyone liked this little ficlet of mine and I hope to add some more of this later on. Thank you for reading.
