Chapter 11

Britannian soldier 1: More Enemy reinforcement arrived!

Britannian soldier 2: How the hell are they that have so much arsenals?!

Britannian soldier 3: We are getting wiped out!

A soldier shouted before his head was shot by a ULA soldier. Both ULA and NAU are engaging the enemy with a lot of numbers to overwhelm them. The Britannian ground forces and Knightmares are completely destroyed by Senshis. NAU Grenadier squads equipped with Grenade launchers destroy incoming enemy Knightmares before they come to aid their comrades. The Black Knights fired rocket launchers on enemy vehicles. A new ULA unit called Minotaur wearing an exoskeleton suit armed with two plasma beam cannons as they destroy the Britannian ground forces and Knightmares with one shot. The Black Knight members are surprised they have such a super weaponized unit such as Minotaur to take down the Knightmares with every single shot without using the Knightmares. They think of them like they come from Sci-fi novels or playing God's tools and weapons. The Britannian was so devastated they retreated to the rear line where they had to regroup and reorganize before they went to engage the enemy.

...

The Britannian forces led by Cornelia have majority casualties. The JLF joined alongside the Black Knights and the ULA to face Britannian forces. After the landslide caused by the explosion, Darlton and Guilford forces are taking casualties from the landslide and they couldn't see what happen here.

Darlton: What are our losses?

Britannia pilot: I've only got signals from 20% of our forces.

Darlton: 20%? Our command structure can't sustain this.

...

Special Research Division Transport

Lloyd watched on the screen seeing Britannian forces being wiped out very fast and more enemy reinforcements arrived. Britannia becomes very problematic in this situation. Suzaku sat on the chair of the cockpit and said to him,

Suzaku: Lloyd, what's going on?

Lloyd: Umm, it's very unnatural.

Suzaku: Unnatural?

Lloyd: There seems to be an unconfirmed report that the Black Knights have appeared. It also says that the ULA are with them.

Suzaku: Zero and Patriot Knight...

He said.

Lloyd: Congratulations, this is our chance.

This made Suzaku upset with his response.

Suzaku: Lloyd!

Cecile: You're so rash.

Lloyd: Whoa? Why is that?

Cecile: Would you like a detailed explanation?

Lloyd: Eeh, no, I will pass... Anyway, while the high command's still gathering data, all we can do is play by ear, right?

...

Athena goes destroying Purist knightmares using her energy sword then she encounters a Purist knightmare identified as Kewell.

Kewell: This thing... I've never seen it before.

He said. He raised his weapon at her, but she quickly grabbed his face. She fired up a radiant energy wave on a Knightmare. As it slowly kills him, he tries to eject the cockpit, but it is jammed.

Kewell: What! No, no, no! I can't die from that monster! I am a proud Britannian!

Those were his last words as his knightmare blew up into pieces.

Villetta: Lord Kewell!

Zero: All right. Guren Mk-II, move to planned point. We'll break through the rest of their line and take Cornelia.

Kallen: Right!

Patriot Knight: All forces, when you see the enemy, you take them out.

Jiyu: Hell yeah!

Justitia: Understood.

She fell back to her group and shouted.

Villetta: Fight to the death!

They opened fire at them. They got Sugiyama knightmare, but luckily they take out the leg as it falls on the ground.

Tamaki: Sugiyama, you alright?

Sugiyama: Yeah...

He said, exiting the cockpit.

While the Black Knights are pinned down, the ULA and NAU forces go to aid them to defeat enemy forces. They also brought a ULA minotaur on their side. Patriot Knight called the air strike, and the squadron of A-10 VTOLs. They fired them on the ground, taking out ground and infantry forces. The NAU deployed attack drones to take out enemy infantrymen attacking their allies. They also send IAVs to take care of the enemy infantry forces. Jiyu jumps in the air and strikes down on enemy Gloucester using a katana blade. She then went fighting against another Gloucester using a jousting lance and she shoots her High Power Gun (HPG) at enemy Gloucester. Three Abram tanks along with three ULA diamondbacks fired on enemy ground forces and knightmares.

In the city ruins, A few Alpheids, Senshis and Assaulters using MX23 Energy rifles, Moskalenko energy rifles, and WDG FENR Assault rifles engage the enemy force. The Britannian are completely pounded as ULA and NAU are pushing them back. The enemy VTOL gunships came only to be shot down by ULA gunships and Scorpion gunships.

Back in the forest, James Howarklodt piloted Valkyrie and destroyed a couple of enemy gloucesters using coilgun. A couple of Valkyries firing rockets to destroy more enemy knightmares coming from North and West. The Black Knights have defeated ground forces using rocket launchers. NAU grenadiers behind the bushes ambush the incoming Knightmares. Athena drew out an energy sword and slices in half of enemy Sutherland.

...

G-1 mobile base

Britannian officer 1: The Pure Bloods are holding their ground?

Britannian officer 2: Yes sir. Under Lady Villetta's command.

Britannian officer 3: Then use the moment for the viceroy to retreat. Send air cover.

Then Euphemia saw something on the screen.

Euphemia: No wait. Something's approaching the viceroy from behind.

...

Two trucks driving through a dirt street in the forest headed straight to Narita where Cornelia was.

Tohdoh: All units, are you ready?

Four Holy Sword: Yes sir.

Tohdoh: All right. Deploy the custom Burais.

Four Holy Sword: Deploy.

The new knightmare model known as Burai Kai rose up from top of the trucks. Tohdoh explains to the members of Four Holy Sword.

Tohdoh: Listen carefully. If this landslide was man made, it should allow us to hit Cornelia from behind. Capture Cornelia now. Take revenge for what happened seven years ago.

Four Holy Sword: Yes sir. By the honor of the four holy swords.

...

Cornelia: What?

She said as Burai Kai jumped out of nowhere and went after Cornelia.

Guilford: Protect her highness.

He shouted. An unlucky sutherland was first to be a target as Burai Kai armed with a revolving blade sword to cut in half then he took out another one. The Four Holy Swords followed him behind and went to engage the enemy.

Tohdoh: Surround them.

Cornelia: Japan Liberation Front?

A sutherland fires at Tohdoh as he dodge the bullets.

Tohdoh: Slash and encircle!

Four Holy Swords: Right!

Tohdoh slices a Sutherland in half and destroys it.

Tohdoh: These are not just any Burais.

Asahina: This reminds me of seven years ago.

Chiba: But it's different now. This time we have Knightmares as well.

As they continued fighting, James and his unit piloted Valkyries arrived and engaged the enemy.

Urabe: Huh? What are those things?

Senba: Don't know.

James (radio): This is the United Liberation Alliance. Are you part of the Japan Liberation Front?

Chiba: Wha- It's the ULA!

Asahina: They're here?

Tohdoh: This is Col. Kyoshiro Tohdoh, yes, we are part of the Japan Liberation Front and leader of Four Holy Swords.

James (radio): Good. Listen, we have contacted your leader and he'll be happy to join us to fight alongside us. They starting the evacuation as we speak.

Asahina: So that means we got allies. That's great!

Chiba: Hold on. Can we trust them? We didn't even know more about them.

Tohdoh listened to his subordinates and then he replied to him.

Tohdoh: Right. Then we'll join the fight with you.

James (radio): Good. Also, the Black Knights are here too.

Tohdoh: Okay. Four Holy Swords, assist our allies and take out the enemy. We'll capture Cornelia so we'll end this battle.

Four Holy Swords: Roger!

Guilford: Your highness, leave them to us. Please you have to withdraw for now.

He said as he blocked Tohdoh's attack.

Cornelia: Very well. I know a way to turn this around. Guilford.

Guilford: Yes.

Cornelia: After you drive them back, meet me over at point nine.

Guilford: Nine? I understand.

Senba and Asahina: Corelia!

They go after her with their weapons.

Cornelia: You weaklings.

She said as she swung her jousting lance on Asahina's Burai Kai and then damaged Senba's Burai Kai and she escaped to the mountain.

...

Villetta: All right. Keep this up and crash Zero!

Zero and the others are taking cover behind the rocks from the enemy firing upon them.

Tamaki: Maybe we should get Kallen over here.

Zero: No, if we break formation now, our plan is ruined. This is turning grim.

Then Liberator jumps in and engages the Purist forces. Villeta was the first to be taken out and she was ejected from her knightmare. Liberator drew out Washington Fury blade and slash out remaining Purist forces. After he defeats them, he turns around at Zero and the others.

Patriot Knight: Sorry I'm late. I've got busy out there.

Zero: Thanks, Patriot Knight.

Kallen (radio): Zero, Cornelia is under attack down below.

Zero: What's that? Which team made the move.

Kallen (radio): It's not our people. Looks like the JLF. And it seems the ULA are helping them.

Lelouch (thoughts):Someone else understands my intent? How excellent. They'll hold off the royal guard which is just what we need. Just need to reach Cornelia before Patriot Knight captures him first.

Zero: Patriot Knight.

Patriot Knight: Yeah?

Zero: Me and Guren will take us to the mountain point. I suspected Cornelia was there.

Patriot Knight: Sure. Go ahead. I have my units be there before or after you arrive.

Zero: Right! All units, with me!

He said as they went to the mountain where Cornelia was there to make a trap for Tohdoh.

...

While battling Guilford in the field, he tried to contact Gen. Katase, but there's something wrong. He didn't respond to him. This seems very suspicious so he tried to contact James.

Tohdoh: This is Tohdoh, I can't contact Gen. Katase.

James: What?

Tohdoh: I can't contact my superior. Something is wrong there.

James: Strange? I'll contact him.

He tried to contact Katase, but he didn't respond. This seems too weird for Katase not to respond to him. So he decided to contact Patriot Knight about this situation.

Patriot Knight (radio): What is it, Howarklodt?

James: Sir, Tohdoh said he can't get a response from Gen. Katase. The evacuation hasn't finished yet.

Patriot Knight (radio): Strange... I'll send small units to check on JLF HQ and find out what happened.

James: Roger that. Over and out.

Guilford fell back and then went to attack Tohdoh, but he was intervened by James' Valkyrie.

Guilford: Ah! This thing-

James drew out an energy sword and sliced off his left and right arms.

Guilford: No!

Tohdoh's burai kai kicks at him and James goes to punch at him. Guilford has to fall back and regroup other forces.

...

The JLF continued to fire cannons at them on the downside mountain. Tanks and Burais went to engage them. The JLF have casualties, but Britannia have more casualties than them. Darlton and his remaining forces return fire and his forces are slowing down to move forward towards the enemy.

Darlton: Umm... at a time like this?

Britannian pilot: What do we do?

Darlton: Fall back! We have to find a way to link up with viceroy Cornelia.

Britannian pilot: But sir. Their main base is right in front of us. And if we're hit from behind we'll be wiped out!

Darlton: You fool! If princess Cornelia is taken by these Elevens this entire battle is lost!

He said. Two gloucesters got slides down on the mountain by JLF firing at the ground.

...

G-1 Mobile base

Britannian officer 1: Sub-viceroy Euphemia you must act now to prevent disaster. Send in the G1!

Euphemia: No.

Britannian officer 2: But commander Guilford is completely pinned down. He can't get to Cornelia.

Her life is at stake here.

Euphemia: We can't. There's a field hospital right here and civilians. They've been evacuated from all over the area and brought to this point. Besides, the G1 base is a command center. The viceroy ordered me not to move it no matter what, that's why ... I just can't...

She said. Then the screen switched to see Llyod, Cecile, and Suzaku contact the command center.

Lloyd: Well, hello there. The ASEEC crew reporting for duty.

Britannian officer 1: Insolence!

Britannian officer 2: You are irregulars. Your orders are to keep silent and observe.

Cecile: Yes sir, normally we would but..

Lloyd: But all of this waiting around is boring.

Suzaku: Sub-viceroy Euphemia, I beseech you. Please order us into the battle.

Britannian officer 1: How transparent. You just want the glory of rescuing the viceroy.

Britannian officer 3: Our whole army is out there. You think one unit is going to change things with an Eleven pilot?

Lloyd: Right, right. But what's the harm in trying? Since it's just one unit it won't look bad for you if we lose, right?

While they are talking to incompitent and arrogant officers, Suzaku just says something to her that makes her gasp in surprise.

Lloyd: Are you listening?

Euphemia: Euphe? Yes I understand. Please do it.

The Camelot team is happy to hear it.

Lloyd: We got it.

Cecile: Thank you very much.

Suzaku: Right. I won't fail.

...

An enemy Gloucester that protects Guilford blocking attack from Tohdoh. Tohdoh falls back

Tohdoh: Damn it. He's fierce.

A Gloucester throws chaos mine to the air that fires raining bullets.

Tohdoh: Scatter!

They scattered as chao mine just missed the targets.

Urabe: Lieutenant Colonel, what about Cornelia.

Tohdoh: If Zero or Patriot Knight is I think they are, they're moving into position right now. We've got to trust them.

Meanwhile, Guilford was contacted by Villeta as she tells him.

Guilford: What? Zero's on the move?

Villetta (screen): Right. We'll keep going and come over and back you up.

Guilford: Never mind that now. Just track Zero.

Villetta (screen): Yes sir. This is his projected course.

She shown him the location of Cornelia in the mountain which Guilford shocked that the enemy is there waiting for her.

Guilford: The princess was trying to trap Tohdoh. Now there's a Knightmare waiting for her. Princess Cornelia!

...

Cornelia was stopped as she encountered Guren MK2. They both make a statement.

Cornelia: I got a message, Guilford.

...

Special Research Division Transport

Suzaku is in the Lancelot inserted activation key to activate his knightmare. His knightmare is wearing sand panels to climb the liquefied slope at maximum combat speed. Lloyd asked him on the screen.

Lloyd (screen): Suzaku, there's one thing I want to ask you.

Suzaku: What's that?

Lloyd (screen): More than anything, you hate when people die. Yet, you are in the military. Why is that?

Suzaku: I'm in the military to stop people from dying.

Lloyd (screen): And that self-contradiction will get you killed someday.

He said before he was being grabbed on the collar by Cecile.

Lloyd (screen): Ugh, sorry about that.

After that, Lancelot was deployed. He headed to Cornelia position through slope mountain terrain using sand panels.

...

Kallen: Cornelia!

Cornelia: Lowborn scum!

They engage each other as Cornelia goes to attack using her jousting lance, dodge the attack, and then she fires slash harkens to climb on the mountain wall.

Cornelia: What's this? That's not just a customized unit.

She heard an alarm sound and went down as Zero missed a shot. He speaks to her through a speaker. Black Knights and ULA, along with Justitia are here on top of the cliff.

Zero: Can you hear me, Cornelia. This is checkmate.

Cornelia: Zero.

Zero: Yes. Should we celebrate our reunion? Of course, you'll have to surrender to us first. And after that, there are a few questions I want to ask you. And in case you are wondering, your reinforcements won't get here in time. I win, Cornelia.

Cornelia: You are a fool, Zero. This one. If I take this one out, I'm free and clear!

She said, firing her weapon at Guren. She dodge the bullets and go straight to her. Cornelia fires a slash harken at her, but Guren blocks it.

Cornelia : You've got some moves!

She launches her jousting lance at her, but Guren grabs it and fires a radiant energy wave to destroy a lance and her arm, but Cornelia is able to eject it before it connects to her knightmare. Just then, Justitia fired SMG to destroy her weapon.

Cornelia: Coward! Attacking from behind!

Zero: Really? And your own attack methods don't show acts of cowardice?

...

JLF AA-gun turrets and tanks, along with ULA and NAU forces engaging Darlton's forces, pounded them on the mountain.

Darlton: Ugh...Aghhhhh... They launched a pincer assault before we could regroup. I'll never be able to reach the Princess now.

...

Four Holy Swords and James units are easily wiping the enemy out. The remaining Gloucester circle around to protect Guilford. Four Holy Swords go pinning Life Or Death formation while James units just continue attacking them.

Guilford: Ahh... If this goes on, Princess Cornelia will be...

Cornelia (radio): Guilford. Guilford, my knight. You and Darlton protect Euphie.

Guilford: Your highness!

Cornelia (radio): I won't surrender.

...

Cornelia: As an imperial princess, I'll fight to the last.

Guilford (radio): Princess Cornelia!

Cornelia was going to suicide attack attempt, Lancelot just arrived by blasting through the mountain to make a tunnel and arrive here so fast.

Justitia: Great! It's Lancelot!

Suzaku: Viceroy, are you all right? I came to help your Highness.

Cornelia: Special Corp? Who authorized you?

She said. It was interrupted by Guren engaging him. Cornelia, on the other hand, tells him he'll engage Zero. Justitia went to assist her best friend to fight against Lancelot.

...

Euphemia looked on the battle map when she heard a ringing tone and looked up a phone to see a text.

"Flower Has Picked."

She nodded and put it away preparing to be captured.

Liberator and his special force made it to G1 mobile base to capture Euphemia. The special forces went to Special Research Division Transport and captured Cecile and Lloyd so successfully. Liberator got on top of the command center and punched through it. He got out his Liberator and entered the command center equipped with SMG.

Patriot Knight: This is the ULA. Surrender now!

Britannian officer: Why you-

He pulled out a gun, but Patriot Knight quickly drew out his pistol and shot him to the leg. The ghost troopers appeared in the room, pointing guns at them. Euphemia told them to stand down and do what he says. She approached him.

Euphemia: Patriot Knight, I'm surprised to see you come to capture me.

Patriot Knight: I do. But don't know, you will be treated humanely and we have questions I want to ask.

Euphemia: Then I take your word.

She raised both hands to him as he put the cuffs on her. He tells them to knock them out and they leave the mobile base. He give her to two ghost troopers as they are teleported back to ULA home base. Now, it's time for him to head back and get Cornelia.

...

Athena went beside Guren as they engaged Lancelot.

Justitia: Hey Guren, remember me?

Kallen gasped to recognize that voice.

Kallen: Justitia?

Justitia: That's right! Say, shall we take care of him?

Kallen: Heh, you know. After seeing you in battle I like to fight with you. Let's kick his ass!

Justitia: Yeah!

She said, happily fighting alongside her best friend and member of the Student Council. Suzaku can take on one knightmare, but two knightmares seems a bit difficult. Can he take on two knightmares using one knightmares? Athena goes on the other side and Guren goes straight to attack him from both sides. Lancelot fired a VARIS rifle on either of them and then Athena grabbed his weapon.

Justitia: Sorry... not!

She said, fired up a radiant energy wave to destroy a VARIS rifle.

Suzaku: No! My VARIS!

Kallen: Now you'll pay for Shinjuku!

She attacks him using a fork knife as Lancelot draws out both vibrant swords but Athena grabs one of his swords and blows it up by radiant energy wave. Lancelot went to attack Athena but he was distracted and Guren stabbed through the body. Lancelot raises his vibrant sword to either Guren or Athena to strike down. Athena quickly grabs it and destroys it and then she hand swipes at the torso to cut off the body and lay on the ground rotten. Both girls make their victory to defeat the Lancelot.

Meanwhile, Cornelia is running out the battery as her knightmare is powered down. Liberator have arrived and tell her to surrender by pointing Washington Fury blade to the neck. Seeing she has nothing to fight him or defend herself, she makes a choice. She tells him she has surrendered. Lelouch has failed to capture Cornelia for himself, but he may be able to negotiate if he wants to have Cornelia so he can ask her questions. NAU soldiers equipped with an M-23AX assault rifle or M4A1 assault rifle surround Cornelia's knightmare aiming their guns at her. She opened a cockpit with their hands up and they were taken into custody. They put her into Razorback VTOL and flew away to ULA Hokkaido base. Patriot Knight ordered Justitia to go down the mountain to regroup, Zero did to Kallen as well. After they left, only Zero and Patriot Knight were here alone. He asked him.

Zero: Patriot Knight, I'd like to negotiate to hand over Cornelia to us and the pilot of Lancelot will be yours.

Patriot Knight: Sorry. But Cornelia is our priority target. Her crimes on Saitama have to pay. Also, we want to interrogate her to know more about the information. Why would you want... It's classified, isn't it?

Zero: Correct. This is something that I need to ask her alone.

Patriot Knight: Now why would I-

Unknown to them, a cockpit of Lancelot opens and Suzaku gets out of the wreckage. He turned around to see them talking to each other. In a perfect chance to take them to stop creating more bloodshed, he runs toward them. Both leaders heard someone running and turned around to see Suzaku run towards them.

Lelouch (thoughts): Suzaku!?

He said in his mind. He is shocked that the pilot of the Lancelot who appears in Shinjuku and Lake Kawaguchi is none other than his best friend. Patriot Knight draws out his energy katana blade and prepares to attack.

Zero: Patriot Knight, wait!

Suzaku (thoughts): If I can take them down at the same time, I can finally show the Britannian that I take down both leaders and promote something greater. I will prove to everyone that I can change it within the system.

But then, out of nowhere, C.C appeared as she grabbed his shoulder and began to have a shock image. Patriot Knight stopped to see her to intervened and stopped him by using her geass power.

Zero: Hey, are you using Geass on him?

C.C.: I'm just feeding him some shock images, I can't tell what he's seeing, though. Anyway, you've got time to get away now.

Lelouch: What about you?

C.C.: I can't move yet. You go first.

Patriot Knight: Zero, let's go. She's doing your favor.

He ignored him as he approached her.

Zero: Don't be foolish. I can't keep owning you favors.

He said as he placed his hand on her shoulder.

Patriot Knight: Zero, come on. We have to move!

He said as he grabbed his shoulder, and then they caused both men to feel affected by her geass.

C.C.: No, not now!

She said as she started to feel pain in her mind. Both men go through every memory they encounter. But there's something else. There are different memories they have never seen before. 

Lelouch vision

Lelouch sees a vision of what appears to be an underground city. It was dark but the light lit up. He then saw Daniel wearing a Patriot Knight suit grab a helmet and put it on his head and went to action. This shocked Lelouch to learn the identity of Patriot Knight is none other than an Ashford academy and member of Student Council was Daniel Thompson.

Lelouch: Daniel.. You're-

Then, he sees another vision to see Planet Earth but the difference is it has a floating space fleet and an orbital station orbiting the planet. This seems like it came from Sci-fi novels.

Lelouch: What the hell-- Is this Earth from the future?

Next he found himself inNorth American continent thinking this is Britannia, but the places look different seeing they are not made from Britannian architecture. He recognizes the city of New York, but it's more futuristic and there is a statue of Lady Liberty holding a torch and a tablet says JULY IV MDCCLXXVI.

Lelouch: New York? But it's more futuristic...

Then Lelouch saw a wall street and he saw a statue of George Washington, which shocked him not knowing what's going on.

Lelouch: George Washington? Leader of the Washington Rebellion?

Next he found himself inside the room seemingly to be a chapel and he turned around and saw everyone he recognized. Euphemia, Cornelia, Kallen, Ohgi, Nunnally, Tamaki, Rivalz, Shirley, Nina, Ruben, and everyone else are here on the wedding day, and Daniel is walking on the carpet wearing a suit towards his new bride. A blonde haired girl who had a veil under her face. As she removed her veil on her face, the bride was Milly Ashford and she was happy for Daniel.

Lelouch: Milly!

He is shocked that Daniel and Milly are getting married. A priest said to both of them.

Priest: Daniel Thompson, do you take Milly Ashford to be your lawfully wedded wife to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.

Daniel: I do.

Priest: Milly Ashford, do you take Daniel Thompson to be your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.

Milly: I do!

She said with her tears of joy.

Priest: Then shall we have the ring bearer come up give rings to these lovely couples

Then, he was shocked to see a ring bearer was Lelouch himself wearing a suit who was holding a case of two rings. Daniel put a ring on Milly's finger, and she put a ring on Daniel's finger. After that, he just said to these couples.

Priest: In the name of the Father, the son, and the holy and spirit, I pronounced Milly Ashford to be Milly Ashford Thompson... Now I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.

Both Daniel and Milly kissed each other passionately and everyone clapped their hands as the sound of the bell rang of joy.

Lelouch: They are... happy.

Daniel Vision

Daniel's vision was different from Lelouch's vision, In his vision, the entire world is engulfed in flames. He was so shocked and horrified by what he just witnessed. The unknown aircraft fighters bombed the entire city filled with civilians screaming in pain. The smoke flies to the air from the burning city. He runs around the city to see the survivors running away by those shadowy evil soldiers firing upon them in cold-blood.

Daniel: No!

Then, he turn around and saw a black colored knightmare resembles of Nazi German helmet which is something recognizable.

Danie: What the hell...

His next vision shows all dead bodies lying on the ground. Most of them he recognized is Student Council members, Black Knights, Lelouch, Nunnally, Euphemia, Cornelia, and his parents too He began to cry to see his parents and friends are dead on the ground then he look up to see a man wearing dark military uniform and there are important members who are shadowy figures with their scary shadow faces smiling at Milly being choking to death by their leader.

Daniel: Milly, Milly!

Milly: *chocked* D-D-Daniel... I-I'm sorry...

She said before a shadow man figure snapped her neck and dropped dead on the ground. He dropped to his knees crying and shouting her name.

Daniel: MILLY!!!

Afterward, he found himself surrounded by the same shadow man figure and other members of his group made scary laughs at him. This makes him very angry for those responsible for these deaths, especially the woman of his love.

Daniel: Damn you... DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!!!!

After he shouted in rage, he found himself in the empty space and found himself nowhere until a woman spoke.

???: Fear of losing someone you love so much.

He turns around to see a short-haired woman wearing a strange attire and she has Geass sigil attached on her neck.

Daniel: Who are you?

???: I'm nobody, to humans, I do not exist. But, I'm visible to those who are able to see me.

Daniel: I see... I expected something to attach to your neck that happens to be connected to Geass.

???: Correct. Like C.C said, Geass is a supernatural ability which certain people can bestow upon others. It is also the Power of Kings.

Daniel: Well, the king with that kind of power can be either good or evil. But just tell me who you are.

A mysterious woman just brings up a smile.

???: Very well, you may call me a caretaker of spacetime. That is what you know about me.

Daniel: Now tell me, what did I see back there?

???: What you've seen there is your future memory if something goes wrong. Although, you've just come to this universe from your universe just for a boy to explore for adventure. Tell me, Daniel Thompson, why come to this universe in the first place?

Daniel: I want to see if an alternate world can exist and then try to fix it to end all wars. But what I've seen there is something terrifying. Those shadows...

Caretaker: The shadows of your old enemy.

Daniel: My old enemy? Who?

She didn't respond to him.

Daniel: WHO IS MY OLD ENEMY! ANSWER ME!

Caretaker: I wish I can tell you, but unfortunately, the time is up. You will find the answer yourself.

Daniel: What?

He said as a very bright light behind her shines on him and he covers his face with his arms as the light is getting brighter.

...

Four people fell on the floor after the effects of geass, Zero and Patriot Knight woke up to see Suzaku and C.C are unconscious. After what they have seen, they decide to forget it and take them to the cave.

...

Darlton and Guilford entered the mobile base to see Euphemia was no longer here, only the officers having their head hurts, They told them it was Patriot Knight capture her and take her away. This battle has been lost for Britannia and their enemy has their victory. Both Cornelia and Euphemia are captured which causes more problems to both of them.

Guilford: I can't believe we lost Princess Cornelia and Princess Euphemia. I have failed them.

Darlton: Not only that, I received word that Dr. Lloyd and Cecile are being captured as well. This is a problem we should report to Prince Schneizel. He won't be happy though.

Guilford: So what shall we do now?

Darlton: We relay the message to order the retreat. We must accept we lost the battle here. We head back to the government bureau and report it to the emperor. The emperor won't be pleased to hear it.

Guilford: I agree.

...

The Black Knights and The ULA cheered for victory as some raised their weapons to the air. Black Knights thanked the ULA for assisting them to the battlefield to stand against Cornelia forces and save the JLF. Justitia and Jiyu are here beside Kallen. Tamaki said to them.

Tamaki: You see, Britannia sure had its hands full just dealing with the Liberation Front.

Ohgi: Yeah, but we should give credit to the ULA too. If they weren't here, this could be difficult for us.

Jiyu: Well you know, the ULA always comes to save the day, but thank you.

Kallen: Hey, where is Zero? I can't raise his Burai. You don't think he's been captured, do you?

Justitia: Let's hope not! Besides, he's with Patriot Knight, and I know he won't be captured so easily.

James: Justitia! Jiyu!

His Valkyrie approaches them and opens the cockpit.

Jiyu: What is it?

James: We have a problem.

Inside the Cave

Lelouch, Patriot Knight, C.C, and Suzaku who both of them are unconscious and they are inside the cave. Lelouch is checking on her forehead the Geass symbol while Patriot Knight keeps on guard if anyone has followed them.

Lelouch: This girl, she can't be human. She recovers from wounds in ways that are beyond normal. She was shot in the head in Shinjuku and yet... Clovis confined her for his private experiments so she is not connected with Britannia. Her vital signs are at human levels. I'd better analyze the blood sample later and photograph the wounds.

Patriot Knight: Seems to be that she possesses an immortality and regeneration ability. Anyway,I'm turning on the beacon so they can find us.

He said, press a button on his gauntlet to activate the beacon signal. Lelouch decides to ask him.

Lelouch: While we are here, I would like to tell you I know someone under that helmet, Daniel Thompson.

A water was dripping down hearing his real name. He stood there motionless before he took his helmet off and looked at him.

Daniel: I see you figure out, Lelouch Lamperouge or your better original name, Lelouch vi Britannia.

Lelouch's eyes widened, shocked by what he just heard. He knows his true identity of being a prince of the Holy Britannian Empire.

Lelouch: Y-You know? How?

Daniel: Oh please, I've been researching for two years since I enrolled in the academy and before the creation of the ULA. I wonder, Lelouch, how do you know me?

Lelouch: I saw through C.C memories and this one doesn't belong to her. It belongs to you. The Earth has become a futuristic world where sci-fi comes to life. The city, New York, is more futuristic and not made by Britannia. And also, I saw a statue of George Washington, leader of the Washington Rebellion who was being killed in Yorktown. I'm asking you, who you really are, Daniel.

He was silent, never to reply to his question and did not want to reveal his origin and his universe yet.

Daniel: When the time comes... Lelouch. I won't tell you everything unless I say so.

Lelouch: I see... In that case...

He shows a geass on his eye as he said.

Lelouch: Tell me Daniel, show me what man you really are when you come to the academy on the first day!

His geass goes straight to Daniel's eyes,but something went wrong. When it hit his eye, it didn't affect him and caused Lelouch to feel pain in his eye.

Lelouch: Gah!

Daniel: Fool. Your geass can't get to me. I have known about the Geass since the Shinjuku massacre and I know she gave you the power to take people's will by commanding them.

Lelouch regains his eye pain and says,

Lelouch: I see you've known about Geass too. I guess I'm not the only one here.

Daniel: You have a power that you do not know the consequences of. Sure, it is very useful, but it is also dangerous if you are unable to control it properly. One tiny accident, and then you mess it up.

Lelouch glares at him, feeling he needs an answer from him.

Daniel: By the way, I was the one who told her to be ULA protection.

Lelouch: So it was you.

Daniel: Yeah, I did good keeping my identity a secret from other students, especially our friends except Milly. She knows my identity anyways.

Lelouch: I see... Tell me Daniel, what man you really are when you come to the academy on the first day.

He still did not answer his question as he replied.

Daniel: Like I said, when the time has come.

Before he could ask him more, he can hear C.C saying something. He leaned closer to understand what she was saying. Then, he felt surprised about saying her real name.

C.C.: You finally called me by my real name.

...

Anneliese and Annika riding on the vehicle driving away from the scene in Narita. Annika was sitting at the back while Anneliese was sitting at the front. Her sister asked.

Annika: Hey sis, I must say we did make a pretty good team.

Anneliese: I know. Seeing him struggle and his fellow comrades turn into horrified beasts I must believe the virus has success.

Annika: It is a shame we can't fight Britannian, Black Knights, and the ULA. They are way more fun and we aren't.

Anneliese: Patience, my dear sister. We won't be waiting any longer.

...

C.C finally woke up from her unconscious as she said to Lelouch.

C.C.: That wasn't necessary.

Lelouch: Apparently not.

C.C.: So there was no point in protecting me at all. Your pride always gets in the way at the most ridiculous moments.

Lelouch: But then I learned something from it.

He said as water dripped down learning her true name which surprised her.

Lelouch: That's your name, isn't it?

C.C.: You have a bad habit of eavesdropping.

Lelouch: Well, it's a good name. It's a lot more human than C.C.

Daniel: To be honest, I kinda like that name.

C.C.: Oh, that's a joke as if I want to be more human. After all, I, I... I've forgotten everything, every single thing. So what's the use of it? A name? But why...?

Then Lelouch just said to her.

Lelouch: It's a good time to say this. Yes, you saved me today. You did that before and then gave me Geass. That's why I'll only say this once. Thank you.

He said. C.C was so surprised that someone like him just thanked her. She started to cry as she was happy that someone knew her feelings well. Daniel ignores the dramatic moment.

C.C.: No one's ever thanked me before. Well then, can you show your appreciation? Say it again like you did before.

Lelouch: Oh, you mean the name.

C.C.: Just this once with tenderness like you treasure it in your heart.

Lelouch: Very well then.

A water dripped as he said to her real name which made her more happy.

Lelouch: How was that?

C.C.: It was bad. It was completely bad. It wasn't tender. There was no honesty or sympathy in it. You spoke it oddly and worst of all, it was cold.

Lelouch: You're a picky girl.

C.C.: Exactly. That's why I go by the name C.C.

Then, Daniel got in contact with the comms and received word they are coming for them. He grabbed a mask and tossed it at him.

Daniel: Lelouch, wear it. They're coming.

Lelouch catches it and puts it on the mask. Daniel put on his helmet too. Kallen, Jiyu, and Justitia running in the cave.

Patriot Knight: Justitia, Jiyu, glad to found-

Jiyu: No time to talk!

Zero: Hm? What's wrong?

Justitia: It's that our unit you sent to investigate at JLF HQ received word that they were attacked and we lost contact from them a few minutes ago.

Patriot Knight: What!

Kallen: We have to go there!

Patriot Knight: Right! Come, we must go to the HQ.

...

JLF HQ

Patriot Knight, Jiyu, Justitia, and the Special Atlas Team are entering the HQ. Zero, Kallen, and C.C are here too since they want to help him to find out what happened to Gen. Katase. When they entered the room, their faces were filled with horror to see those humanoid fur creatures eating the ULA soldiers on the ground. Then one of the creatures happens to be Katase who is now becoming a monster known as Lycan.

Joker: Oh dear God!

Kallen placed her hand on the mouth in horror of what she had seen. C.C and Zero are shocked by what happened here.

Jiyu: No... Gen. Katase?

Patriot Knight: Stay back!

He said when she stepped forward. Lucan Katase looked up, saw them here, and roared as his brethren stopped eating the corpse and saw their presence.

Mitchell: Shit! They saw us!

Patriot Knight: Kill them!

He shouted. He pulled out his energy katana blade as well as the others pulled out their weapons to engage them. The Lycans goes towards them at a fast speed. Gideon and his team fired upon the Lycans with few bullets to kill them. Kallen and Zero using pistols fired at them but they just keep coming toward them.

Zero: What have become of them?!

Kallen: This can't be! We give them time to evacuate and now...

She said, having a breakdown of what happened to these poor people. One of Lycans goes straight to Kallen as she can't make a reaction.

Zero: Kallen!

Then, Justitia jumps in and takes out a Lycans using an energy sword.

Justitia: You alright?

Kallen: Y-Yeah.

Jiyu goes to kill the Lycans she can see. Patriot Knight kills a few Lycans in the room and the last one is Lycans Katase who is threatening him, ready to attack. He feels guilty that he should've known something is happening while having a battle in the field. He gripped his weapon and said.

Patriot Knight: I'm sorry I couldn't notice, General. I'll take out your misery.

He said. Lycans Katase roared and jumped toward him. He slashes his blade to cut in half of the body. Lycans Katase corpse is landing on the floor as the blood pours out. They took a deep breath after what happened here and failed to see this coming. C.C has nothing to say, but she was terrified of what was happening here.

Kallen: What... What is really going on!? First, Kusakabe transformed into a monster, and now this! What the hell is this!

Patriot Knight: I... I don't know. But for what I know we have a fourth party and they are not friendly to everyone.

Jiyu: Do you think so?

Patriot Knight: Maybe. But we don't know where they are. But whoever they are, they have plans that we don't know.

Zero: Let's hope so. But in the future, they might become a threat to both of us.

...

Burgundy, Reichfuhrer office room

Albrecht was doing something on his desk when the door opens to see Biohringer entered the room and give him a Nazi salute.

Biohringer: Heil Albrecht!

Albrecht: Report.

Biohringer: Anneliese and Annika have successfully turned Katase and his officers into the Lycans. Though it also reports that Patriot Knight and Zero just kill them.

Albrecht: Well, it doesn't concern me. They are nothing but the old fossils unable to adapt. Now then, are the infiltrators returned from Australia undetected?

Biohringer: Jawohl, mein Reichsführer. It's all here.

He said, toss an USP on the desk. Albrecht picks it up and sees it contains information and origins of an unknown faction. He looked at his trusted man and asked.

Albrecht: What do you know about them? What do they call themselves?

Biohringer: According to our infiltrator, they call themselves the United Nations Solar Alliance or the UNSA. The rest are in there.

Albrecht: Then this information will lead us to glory and victory. The Aryan race will take the place of this world.

He said, making an evil smile on the face.
