Code Geass Heroes' Awakening R2: Turn 6 Part 2

Tokyo Mavericks hangar, 9:43 a.m. Holiday looked through her clipboard to check if everything that she had done was in order.

Sharon "Doc" Holiday: Alright. That should be everything.
Euphemia: What are you up to?
Holiday: Just making sure everything was loaded up.
Euphemia: Loaded into what?

Holiday pushed a button on a nearby wall and a large, black airship rose from the ground, in front of Euphemia.

Euphemia: This thing is huge! And, it can fly!?
Holiday: Thought I was just trying to weaponized electricity? Nah, I've been upgrading that, too.
Euphemia: What do you mean, "upgrading"?
Holiday: You didn't know? That bad boy was decommissioned, back in 1998, a.t.b.
Euphemia: 19- Wait! Is that-?
Alistair: (walks up to Euphemia) The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. An advanced, long-range strategic reconnaissance aircraft, capable of Mach 3 and an altitude of 85,000 feet. But, thanks to some much-needed updating, it's capable of combat. Behold its reincarnation... The Yatagarasu.
Euphemia: So...it's that big, that heavy...?
Alistair: Still capable of Mach 3.
Euphemia: And, it's a carrier, to boot! How many Knightmares fit in there!?
Alistair: Uh... 2 hund?
Holiday: Try 4 hundred.
Euphemia: Shit...! And, it's got a perfect spot for snipers, on the front!
Alistair: Exactly. I've been trying to get a good design, and this was the one Holiday liked best. Oh, get this, we also found some float unit schematics. I think Lloyd left 'em.
Euphemia: Yeah, we need to rescue him and Cecile, as well.
Alistair: Gotta find an opening.
Euphemia: So... When does this thing fly?
Alistair: Zero said to give him about...5 minutes, when the op starts. If Nunnally hasn't been rescued, by that time, or he's completely surrounded, we wreck ass.

Meanwhile, at the Chinese embassy, Zero gathered the Black Knights together to tell them about his plan.

Zero: You may not be aware of this, but the Emperor of Ego is attempting to send a new Viceroy, to Japan.
Tohdoh: So, why the big meeting? We can just shoot the ship down.
Zero: The Viceroy's name is Nunnally Lamperouge.
Tohdoh: (clenches fist, fingers crack) No.
Chiba: That cute girl you tried to rescue?! Why?!
Zero: Civility was responsible for the kidnapping.
Asahina: They messed with her memories.
Kallen: This is a rescue mission?
Zero: Exactly. A request from her brother, Lelouch Lamperouge. And, I'm sure as hell not allowing him to suffer without her, any longer.
Tohdoh: Go time.
Ryoga Senba: Never seen Tohdoh that mad, before.
Asahina: The remarks are definitely full of rage. He's not yelling, though.
Senba: Ah, that kind of pissed.
Tamaki: Everything's loaded up!
Zero: Gear up! Go, go, go!

3 minutes later, Britannian flagship. Nunnally's assigned advisor, Alicia Lohmeyer, entered Nunnally's room and saw that Nunnally was facing the table mirror.

Alicia Lohmeyer: We'll be arriving at Area 11 in an hour, Viceroy.
Nunnally: Good to hear. I don't mean to annoy, but... Is there any perfume on this table? I can't seem to find it.
Lohmeyer: I'll check. (walks up to table) No... Doesn't look like it-

Nunnally immediately grabbed Lohmeyer's arm and dragged her to her knees, pointing the pistol that Alistair gave her at Lohmeyer's face.

Nunnally: Found my gun.
Lohmeyer: Your eyes are open! I thought-!
Nunnally: Oh, you know something? I'm glad that I don't have to ask that question. You're going to tell me what I want to know. Now.
Lohmeyer: They never told me you were like this! I thought you were innocent, nice!
Nunnally: I am nice. (takes a deep breath) It's just that I don't tolerate being...pissed off.
Lohmeyer: Okay, this is scaring me.
Nunnally: You don't want to tell me anything? Perhaps if you had no knees, you'd know how I feel...
Lohmeyer: Alright! I'll talk!
Nunnally: Spill it. Or I send you to a nunnery.
Lohmeyer: The Knight of Seven's running the show! He's making me do this!
Nunnally: He's not the Suzaku I know. Who is he?
Lohmeyer: I don't know! All I saw was a random...glint in his eye. Looked...orange?
Nunnally: Peculiar. What else?
Lohmeyer: I snuck a peek at his journal, while he wasn't around. All it read was: "Kill Alistair Wake. Kill Alistair Wake. Kill Alistair Wake." All capitals, every page.
Nunnally: (sighs) Not even a name, on that journal?
Lohmeyer: Well... Actually there was another journal. It was normal writing, there. Mentioned kinship with the Knight of Ten, Luciano Bradley. Said he was mad, because he couldn't come along.
Nunnally: What's so special about the Knight of Ten?
Lohmeyer: Aside from abysmal Knighmare versatility, he's a complete sociopath. He likes to kill people, for the hell of it.
Nunnally: That's everything you know?
Lohmeyer: That's all, I swear!
Nunnally: (puts pistol away) Unless you want to get blown up, when the Black Knights and Tokyo Mavericks show up to rescue me, I suggest you get off this ship. Effective immediately.
Lohmeyer: Done! (runs out of room)
Nunnally: Alright... Who could this guy be? It's not Suzaku, but why keep his look? Let's see... Random orange glint... Grudge against Alistair... Befriends...more of a Neutral Evil, than a Chaotic Evil- Oh, crap!

Back at Tokyo, Suzaku, Gino and Anya confronted Xingke, in front of the Chinese embassy.

Suzaku: Gone? What do you mean "gone"?
Xingke: Exactly what I mean. Zero left, as well. They left through an underground tunnel, though I don't exactly know how they got back out.
Suzaku: Meager prey. We're giving chase.
Gino: Hey, you think they're gonna go after Nunnally?
Suzaku: Of course. Typical hero. Scum of the Earth...
Anya: Here we go, again.

5 minutes later, above the Pacific Ocean. Utilizing air transports to carry the Knightmares, the Black Knights approached the fleet of Britannian airships.

Zero: Our objective is the rescue of Nunnally Lamperouge. We have to get her back!
Black Knights: Got it!
Zero: (thinking) Alistair... Nunnally needs you. I can't do this, on my own. My hopes ride with you.
Ohgi: Damn VTOLs! They took out one of our carriers!
Zero: You've got guns, too! One-handed ones, in fact!
Black Knight: Not wrong!

Meanwhile, inside the flagship, a Knightmare activated itself, and looked at its surroundings. It then looked at its hands, opening and closing them. It then noticed a scientist that was focused on a terminal.

Scientist: I don't get how it could look like this. This wasn't part of the schematics!

The Knightmare picked up the scientist by his shirt, bring him closer to its face.

Scientist: What?! What is this?! What's going-?! (looks at Knightmare's face, screams in terror)

Back outside the flagship, Tohdoh's Gekka destroyed one of the turrets on a wing, a Burai doing the same on another.

Tohdoh: Zero, are you sure you didn't need a Knightmare?
Zero: Positive. I'm going in.
Tohdoh: Good luck.

Inside the flagship, a medic and security guard were attempting to open a door leading to a corridor.

Britannian Medic: Do you think Knightmares can actually fit in here?
Britannian Security Guard: Don't know! We just need to get the survivors-

The door opened and the corridor was filled with smoke, Zero emerging from it as the airlock cleared the corridor, a gust of wind blowing on his cape.

Zero: Knock, knock.
Britannian Medic: Zero?!
Zero: (left side of mask opens, activates Geass) Ever felt like joining a swim team!? Now's your chance!
Britannian Security Guard: Dive, or cannonball?
Zero: Doesn't matter. Get in that ocean. (walks through door) Gotta find her...

Back outside the flagship, the surrounding airships began falling down, towards the ocean.

Asahina: Well, this seems easy, but I feel like-
Tohdoh: Trouble, behind the flagship!
Asahina: There it is.
Chiba: Those Knightmares... They have float units!
Kallen: That commander one! Same look, different colors... It's the Enclave!
Tohdoh: So, he's come out to play.
Zanzibar: The Vincent Enclave shall be your end, Elevens.

Inside the flagship's garden, Zero entered through the door, and saw a familiar wheelchair.

Zero: (thinking) Nunnally...
Nunnally: You certainly know how to make an entrance. I've been wanting to talk to you, for a while, now.
Zero: Huh?

Nunnally turned her wheelchair around, revealing that she was wearing sunglasses.

Nunnally: I'm glad that we can finally meet, Zero.
