The date was August 10, 2010 of the Holy Imperial Calender, the Holy Britainian Empire had declared war upon Japan. The Far East Island Nation had held fast to its neutrality and now Britannia looms as the world's only Superpower. Rights to Japan's underground resources became a hotly disputed issue straining the already deeply diplomatic issues between the two sides. In the deciding battle for the mainland, Britannian Forces introduced the Humanoid Autonomous Armored Knight known as the Knightmare Frame, the enemy's forces were far greater than anticipated, and the Knightmares obliterated the Japanese Line of Defense on the mainland with little effort. Japan became a dominion of the Empire, the country was stripped of its freedom, its rights, and its name. Area 11, the defeated and once proud nation of Japan was rechristened with a mere number.

However, one boy swore revenge on Britannia. The former Crowned Prince of Britannia, Lelouch vi Britannia, swore revenge on Britannia for it's conquering of Japan...and the death of his mother and blinding and crippling of his sister, Nunally, by noblemen of Britannia. To achieve this goal, he made a contract with the mysterious and beautiful CC to gain the Geass of Command, and became Zero, the leader of the Japanese Resistance Group, the Black Knights, and began to wage his war of destroying Britannia. However...a wrench will now be thrown into the entire world's plans...


Prologue Chapter 1: Invasion of Earth
Sol System
It had been two months since the discovery of the system by Imperial Explorers, which noted the abuncance of resources on most of the worlds. The only inhabitable planet caused an uproar in the Senate, its strange new resources would be able to power starships and hyperdrives more efficiently than hypermatter. Had this been the Old Republic, an official First Contact mission would have been launched. However, this was the Galactic Empire, where such...trivialities were overlooked. A full Imperial Fleet was launched to conquer the world in the name of Emperor Palpatine.

Fourty Imperial I-class Star Destroyers dropped out of hyperspace with nearly a 1000 smaller support ships began to approach the world. To the natives, it was called Earth and was divided into three powers, the Holy Britannian Empire, the Chinese Federation, and the Euro Universe. All vied for control of the planet, but now...they had a bigger problem on their hands.

On the flagship, the Devestator, his lord Darth Vader stood on the bridge, issuing commands. A map of the world was being represented on hologram, where there were several places marked for landing zones: Area 11, the Hidden City, London, Paris, and the Britannian Capital, Pendaran on the North American Continent were marked to name a few.

"We need to conquer these areas with as much haste as possible," Darth Vader said to the Generals and Admirals, some in holograms, around the conference table. "The first has the most deposites of this mineral that we've learned about, and from the transmissions we have intercepted, these are the capitals of this planet. Once they fall, it'll be easier to conquer the rest of the world."

"Understood, Lord Vader," his generals and admirals said. "Should we prepare a volley of turbolaser fire to soften their defenses?"

"No. We do not know the effects that our heavy weapons'll cause to the mineral," Vader replied as they approached Earth. "General Veers, prepare your men. You land in two hours."

"Yes, Lord Vader," Veers said and his holographic image flickered and vanished as he went to report to his Walker.

"Once a beachfront is established in these worlds, we will be launching strikes from the air with our fighters," Vader said as he walked to get out of the conference room. "As you know, the penalty will be severe if the mission is a failure."

"Yes, lord Vader," the Generals and Admirals said before their images faded or they went to get ready.

Darth Vader walked into the bridge, and marched towards the windows to survey the planet. This world will fall, like all the others and become part of my Master's will...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area 11, Tokyo Settlement, Ashford Academy
It was about a week after the Battle at Mount Fuji where Lelouch had lead his Black Knights to victory against the Britannian Imperial Forces in the guise of Zero. The battle had thrown the Black Knights into international standing once again, since it had introduced a new Knightmare Frame, the Guren Mark II, which used a special crusher arm to make other Frames explode. This, combined with the pilot's-Kallen Kozuki/Stadfert to the classmates at the Academy-made the Guren an even more potent weapon.

However, in the aftermath he had to deal with nearly being found out by Viletta Nu, who was shot by Shirley even though she knew he had inadvertently killed her father during the battle. In another however, Lelouch had to use his Geass on Shirley to make her completely forget about him after the incident with the mad Geass User Mao had happened.

Right now, he was formulating the next plan of attack on Britannia's forces in Japan/Area 11 in the Student Conference room. Rivalz, his longtime friend and the young man who brought him to his old hobby of gambling on chess with rich Britannians was surfing through the channels next to Nena Einstien. Suzuku Kutarugi, Milly Ashford, and Kallen walked into the room. Milly put on a bright smile, sitting across from Lelouch.

"So Lelouch, what happened between you and Shirley? She's acting like she doesn't even know you. Did you two have a fight?" Milly asked with a grin. "Tell me all the juicy details!"

Lelouch gave a regretting smile. "I'm sorry Prez, it's personal. I just hope Shirley forgives me soon." He looked up. "Suzaku, how are you doing?"

"Good Lelouch," Suzaku said with a smile. He and Lelouch had been best friends since childhood. "I can't stay for long, can I go say hello to Nunally?"

"Of course. She's in the other room with Sayoko," Lelouch said as Rivalz gave a groan.

"What's wrong with the TV? The receptions going all crazy," Rivalz said, putting his hand in his blue hair as static began appearing. "Is the satillite reception getting messed up?"

They then heard booms and crackles, and Lelouch went to the window. Squinting, he looked at the sky as several...red streaks appeared. First one...then two...then three...

"Was there a meteor shower predicted today?" Lelouch asked Nena who shook her head.

"I don't think so," Nena said as she walked over with the others. There were more red streaks...several things were burning up on reentry. "Those...those are Britannian Satillites!"

"What?"

"The way they're breaking up...those are satillites, not meteroites," Nena said and she watched as more and more began falling. "But...what could be bringing them down...?"

Suzaku squinted his eyes. "Wait a second...there's...there's things coming down!"

They all looked up as three massive objects began to ascend from the sky, getting larger and larger. They were...roughly triangle shapes. There were other, smaller tinier objects decending with them as if escorting. From what Lelouch could tell, the three triangular objects were all larger than 600 meters. But what could be of that size?

By now, the Imperial Military was being scrambled. Various questions were going through the Britannian Pilots minds as their Sutherlands were dispatched, along with helicopters and tanks. The first object landed near the Tokyo Settlement. The full size of it...was shocking. 752 meters long and nearly 150 meters tall, and there were large...weapon encampments on the object.

"Is that a new weapon of the Black Knights?"

"Or the Chinese Federation?"

"Or the Europeons?"

"Cut the chatter," Viceroy Cornellia vi Britannia ordered through the the com system of her Southerland. "I don't recognize that symbol...Knight Guilford, do you?"

"Not to my knowledge, your magesty," Guilford said as he looked.

From the sides of the object...doors extended and...beings in white armor began to be disgorged. Thousands of them. Not only that...unknown mechs were coming out. Before anything else could happen, small aerial craft dipped out of the sky and began to fire blasts of green energy, and several helicopters began being blown out of the sky. Bolts of red energy ripped out from the mechs, the two legged ones and the four legged began to fire in concert as the white armored soldiers began firing.

"They want a fight..." Cornellia snarled as two Sutherlands were destroyed. "Attack! For the honor of Britannia!"

To be continued...

RK-Striker JK5: Thanks for the review, hope you like the next chapter

Chapter 2: Overrun
Area 11, Tokyo District
Cornellia gritted her teeth as several of her unit were being pushed back or destroyed by the advancing two legged walkers. The two-legged walkers had heavy forward firepower, but their armor seemed nearly paper thin however. Few rounds from their rifles or a full on charge with their lances or their slash harkens, extending blades that shot out of their shoulders, was enough to destroy a leg or the cockpit. However, the much larger, four legged walkers were completely invulnerable to their attacks. Missiles, concentrated fire, even attacks on the legs were completely useless. The infantry in white armor even set up heavy artillery and anti-infantry weaponry that was made out of pure energy.

Red bolts of plasma peppered her Gloucester's armored as she zoomed forward with her unit, firing rapidly. She slammed her lance into a two-legged walker before she zoomed out, avoiding blasts from what looked like grenade launchers fired from another one. Spinning, she lifted her Knightmare's rifle and shot three bullets into the two-legged walkers cockpit, destroying it. Cornellia kept glancing at the computer screen, which showed Britiannian Units being destroyed in the sky and on the ground by the enemy forces. Warning lights then flared in her cockpit and she moved as a huge red blast slammed into her lance arm.

"Princess Cornellia!" her knight, Gilbert Guilford cried out as he rushed to his princess's side.

"Fall...back..." Cornellia ordered as she stablized herself. Her Knightmare's arm was sparking and smoke was rising off of it. "Tell our forces...to fall back...we need to get into defensive positions!"

"Yes, Princess Cornelia," Guilford said as he ignored the small trail of blood trickling down his forehead from an earlier part of the battle.

At the Ashford Academy, the sights of the battle were becoming clearly scene. Lelouch, Suzaku, Kallen, Shirley, Milly, Nina, Rivalz, and Nunally were watching the smoke rise, seeing the fires rage in the distance around the humongous triangle craft. The sounds of explosions were also heard and above them there was this shrieking whine.

Lelouch was holding his breath and he looked up as several bow-tie craft, that made that shrieking whine dogfighted with the Britannian Airforce. The jets were being shot out of the sky as their missiles and guns kept missing the nimble bow-tie fighters, which looped, flipped, or rolled onto their tails and blasted the jets out of the sky with their green lasers. Lelouch then noticed...a formation of fatter looking bow-tie craft, instead of one ball in the middle, there were two and the 'wings' were smaller and were bent. Said ships were going to a low altitude...and started dropping glowing white bombs. They were coming straight for the Academy!

"Everyone, get down! Get under something!" Lelouch ordered as, on instinct, he pulled Kallen and Shriley back while Suzaku pulled Milly and Nina and Rivalz pulled Nunally out of the way from the windows. The howling shriek of the bombers was heard and a white flash outside the windows completely blew out the windows. Nunally cried out in fear at the sound, covering her sensitive ears as her brother moved over to her. This is total war...whoever we're fighting...they're going for terror bombing to cull the populace...the Britannian Army should still be following...and I...

He looked up to see Suzaku getting up. "I have to get to my unit...there must be something I can do!"

"Are you crazy Suzaku? There's no chance that'd you even get to your Knightmare with all this happening!" Rivalz yelled as another huge explosion rocked the school.

If Suzaku got to the Lancelot...and if Kallen got to her Guren Mk. II...there could be a chance to defend the school...probably help drive back whoever these invaders are... Lelouch thought as another explosion made him cover Nunally's body more. But I'd risk...giving away my identity as Zero...should I...

Kallen gritted her teeth. "I...I got...oh god damn it I can't keep up this act anymore," she started as she got up. "Milly, is there a bomb shelter nearby or anything?"

"Act? Kallen what are you talking about?" Milly asked as her red haired friend and classmate stood up and flipped her hair slightly.

"I'm not really sickly okay?" Kallen told her as she shielded her eyes from another explosion. "It was just an act to cover up what I really do. I'm Japanese and I was working to liberate my country from Britannia with the Black Knights, but that doesn't matter now!"

Nina's eyes widened. "W-What?" Nina had always been afraid of the Japanese-who she called Elevens, and was rather...intolerant to all races actually. Learning this...

Suzaku's jaw lowered in shock as another explosion rocked the school. "...until...until this thing is over..."

"Suzaku we can't deal with your 'change everything from the inside' crap!" Kallen yelled as she stood up straight. "Right now, Japanese, Britannian, probably the entire World is under attack! It doesn't matter now!" She took out her cellphone and tried getting a signal. "Damn it...I can't reach Oghi or anyone...and Zero could send orders at any time..."

Lelouch closed his eyes. Kallen did somethign that he was still debating to do. Finally...he made his decision. "Kallen...Zero does have an order."

Everyone in the room looked over to him. "Lelouch...this isn't a time to joke..." Shirley started as another explosion rocked the school and dust sprinkled down.

"I am Zero, Leader of the Black Knights," Lelouch said and he changed his voice just right so Kallen and Suzaku could recognize it. "And right now, the lives of the world, and the people here, especially my little sister, are more important than keeping my double life secret!"

The entire group was silent from Lelouch's confession as more explosions followed. Finally...Milly talked. "...no matter what...everyone here...we're all friends and part of the Ashford Academy Student Council..."

Rivalz nodded. "That's right! No matter what!"

Shirley gave a nod and Kallen turned to Lelouch, and she could tell he wasn't lying. Why would he fight against Britannia...try to help free our country... she thought as she waited.

"Kallen, first off, we need to get everyone into the bomb shelters if there are any," Lelouch ordered and looked at Milly. "There are some, right?"

"Yes, I'll show you the way," Milly said as she stood up. "First...if the PA system is still up, we need to send a general announcement out to the entire school to get to the shelters."

"Good idea," Lelouch said as the door opened with an eerie creak, and a green haired woman crawled over. "CC...I trust you've seen what's happening?"

"Yes..." CC replied as everyone covered their heads but her as another blast rocked the school and several of the structure around the windows began to collapse. "But whose attacking?"

"We don't have any idea. CC, I need you to help Kallen, Suzaku, and myself escort the student body and any survivors into the bomb shelters," Lelouch ordered and CC nodded. "Milly, lead the way to the PA room. If we're in luck, we'll get an announcement through."

Milly nodded. "Alright, everyone follow me. And we leave no one behind, Britannian or Japanese!"

They all nodded and began following Milly on their hands and knees towards the PA room.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
North American Continent, Pendaran
Around the Britannian Capital, a massive battle raged. Three Acclamator-class Assault Ships had landed around the Capital, disgorging tens of thousands of white armored Stormtroopers, as well as thousands of AT-ST's, AT-TE's, and hundreds of AT-ST's, the heavy firepower. Artillery in the form of SPHA-T Units were bombarding the capital while Britannian Knightmare Frames tried to fight against the Imperial military machine. Three more Acclamators were descending to bolster the Imperials as three frames flew up into the sky towards them. They were three of the Knights of the Round, three of the best pilots in all of the Britannian Empire went to attack the ships. They were the ace and best pilot, Bismarck Waldstien-Knight of One, Gino Weinberg-Knight of Three, and Luciano Bradley-Knight of Ten and also known as the 'Vampire of Britannia'.

"Yeah! I love this!" Bradley cried out as he used his Harken Blades to slash through two TIE Fighters that were vectoring in on them. His Percival did a spin and fired its Hadron Blaster at one of the Assault Ships. The blast impacted on a blue shield which flickered but stayed up. In response, the massive assault ship began opening fire with several emerald colored laser blasts which he zipped and tried to avoid.

Gino gritted his teeth, spinning in his Tristan and turning it into its jet form, and its engines flared up and he dived with several TIEs on his back, their lasers firing. "Bismark! Bradley! Anyone, I could use some help here!"

Suddenly a massive red blast of energy slammed into three of the TIEs, making the others break off. "You okay, Gino?"

"Yeah, thanks Anya. Man...that huge thing took Bradley's Hadron Cannon and wasn't even scratched!" Gino yelled as he went through a loop to avoid flak and the green laser fire.

He looked up to see another type of TIE Fighter coming in...it was much faster than the bow-tied. There were many of them and they were diving from space, four green laser cannons firing. He flipped and got into the mech mode as Anya formed up with him. They tried to get a fire acquisition onto the enemy fighters but they were too fast and agile. Anya's Hadron Cannons fired and all her missiles launched, trying to get a beed on the agile fighters, yet they couldn't even get a lock. Gino combined his two Slasher Harkens into a their energy cannon form and he began firing, trying to hit these new ships but they were just too fast and agile.

Finally, a white shuttle began descending into the battlefield. Its escorts flew off to keep Gino and Anya busy as it avoided or took all fire, Brtiannian or Imperial. A few seconds later, its wings folded up and landed, and under the cockpit the ramp descended. A squad of Stormtroopers marched down the ramp, forming two collumns and holding their E-11 Blaster Rifles at attention. A black figure in a near nightmarish mask walked down the ramp, his wheezing breath exhaling from his mask. A cylinder levitated into his gloved hand as his cape flapped, and a red blade of energy shot out. Darth Vader, Lord of the Sith had arrived...

Very nice,

I'm a huge fan of Code Geass and this is an excellent crossover idea. I personally enjoy any fanfiction where Lelouch lives and that's why I prefer the manga to the mainline series. The idea of combing Star Wars and Code Geass never occurred to me before but I am going to anxiously watch the development of this series.

Thanks!

Charlemange19: Thanks, I really hope you like this fic and this chapter. I'll add you to my PM list.

RK Striker JK5: Yep, and its about to get even more action packed.

Oh, by the way, this chapter I had help with from my friend Lightsnake.

Chapter 3: An Empire Folds
Japan/Area 11, Ashford Academy
At Ashford Academy, the student council finally reached the PA room as TIE Bombers continued to drop bombs all over the campus and all over the Tokyo Settlement. Milly got up onto the desk, shielding her eyes from another explosion as she turned on the microphone. She cleared her throat, the smoke had begun to parch it, and the Student Council President wished she had some water to clear it.

"Attention, everyone!" Milly started, taking command of the situation. "I need everyone to get to the bomb shelters located under the dormitories! Do not panic, go there in an orderly fashion! NOW!"

All over the school, the surviving students crawled quietly to the dormitories. Lelouch watched from the window, hoping that everyone got there safely. More explosions followed but the surviving students were lucky, able to avoid them as they headed to the dormitories. The former Britannian Prince-now Resistance Leader Zero, looked up to the flying TIE Bombers, vowing to bring down their attackers.

"Good work, Pres..." Lelouch covered his eyes as another explosion hit and he saw white-armored soldiers on the horizon coming to the Academy. "Suzaku, Kallen, we have to leave now. Prez, get Nunally, Shirley, Rivalz, and Nina to the bomb shelters and stay safe."

Milly nodded. "I'll keep everyone safe, Lelouch. You can count on it!"

Lelouch smiled. "I knew you'd never let me down. Now go!"

The former Prince turned to Suzaku and Kallen, giving a nod indicating they had to get moving. Both nodded in response and they crawled out of the room. They dodged broken glass and kept their heads down, so they wouldn't enhale the smoke. When they finally reached the door to the lobby, they ran out of the building, passing fires and corpses of the unlucky students who were caught in the bombing.

Lelouch lifted out his cellphone and attempted to contact the Black Knights. "Anyone, can you hear me? Zero here!"

Static started to greet him and then a voice...it was Ohgi. "Z...ero? Y...u're still alive?"

It's...rough here, Zero...the large...four legged walkers-there are 12 of them surrounding our hideout. Tohdoh...he's doing his best but even with the Akatsuki units, we aren't doing well."

Lelouch frowns, thinking. "Can you spot any weaknesses in the large four legged walkers? Any at all?"

"Tohdoh is working on it, Zero...come soon... we don't know how long we can hold out!"

"I will not let the Black Knights fall!" Lelouch yells in answer and he signed out and he looked at Suzaku. "Where is the Lancelot being kept, is it close by?"

Suzaku nodded. "Just a short distance west.."

"Lead the way," Lelouch said as they moved.

They ran west, following Suzaku as they dodged laser blasts. Lelouch started to get winded faster than his friends but he wasn't going to give up, and he started to push himself, running faster. He stole a glance back at the burning campus, hoping that everyone would be alright...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
North American Continent, Britannia Capital Pendaran
Back at Pendaran, Darth Vader had started his advance towards the Royal Palace. Flanked by his elite troops of his 501st Division, he marched forward confidently, lightsaber drawn. Two Southerlands moved towards him, firing and he just sidestepped the bullets. He lifted his hand up, and both Knightmares were blown back by a powerful force. The armored man doesn't even slow his stride as he continued to move forward.

If they had blasters or laser cannons, those mechanical units would be more of a threat... Darth Vader thought as he kept his advance. Several ordinary soldiers went to open fire as the 501st opened fire, their E-11 blasters delivering a death blow to the soldiers.

Vader extends a hand, raising the leader of the soldiers into the air...and with a flick of his wrist, throws him into a wall with bone crushing force. He pushed his hand forward, blowing the surviving soldiers away with a massive wave of the Force. A Gloucester close combat unit moved in and Vader sidestepped the attack,, slashing his lightsaber which removed the leg under the knee, making the Knightmare crash to the ground. The Dark Lord of the Sith lifted it up with the force and using it like a wrecking ball, he made it spin in a virtual tornado, slamming into and destroying multiple Southerlands which tried to get a bead on Vader.

"Tedious," Vader said condescendingly, and he began moving forward again.

"W-What is that man?" one of the pilots asked. "He's unstoppable!"

"Come." Vader ordered his men, and they began to move into the heart of the city, approaching the palace. Nothing would stop the Dark Lord from reaching his goal, however.

In the skies, Bismarck was engaging multiple TIE Interceptors. The nimble craft as well as the extraordinary speed made it difficult for him to shoot down-he had only downed three of the fighters. He had received minor damage in the interim, however it wasn't affecting his performance in the slightest.

Now that I've adapted... Bismarck opened his eye, activating his Geass and he began targeting the Interceptors, and started to fire, downing five of them before one flew towards him, spinning and dodging all his fire and it returned fire. Emerald colored laser bolts nearly hit him as he tried keeping up. This one is quite the pilot... Britannia's best pilot was now facing the best pilot in the Galactic Empire other than Vader-Baron Soontir Fel.

Soontir Fel's eyes narrowed inside his black helmet as he skillfully avoided the attacks. He did another roll and flipped his fighter onto its back to attack again, all four laser cannons firing. Bismarck spun out of the way deftly, spinning around and blasting.

He shot out his slash harkens, and Fel barely avoided. He was having to push his Interceptor to the limit for the first time. Incredible...this man would make quite the Ace...quite the credit to his own side...

Bismarck fired rapidly, shooting out his slash harkens and spinning to make them more lethal. Fel avoided by looping around the harkens, and the edge of his interceptor was hit by one of Bismarck's blasts and he fired. Bismarck avoided, his Galahad taking minor hits. Fel followed up, aiming precisely at more vital areas. A flash of light burst off of both craft as they passed. Minor explosions followed and Fel's engines cut out, only leaving his repulsor-lifts to keep him in the air and Bismark's weapons were destroyed and all that was keeping him in the air was his flight system.

"Amazing...seems we're at an in passe now, pilot," Bismarck said, leaning back in his cockpit.

"It does seem..."

"I haven't had a battle like that since I faced Queen Marianne when she was known as the Flash...what's your name?"

"Soontir Fel..."

"It was an honor fighting against you, Soontir, I am Bismarck Waldstien, Knight of One."

"Hm...we'll settle this another time."

Bismarck breathed out. "And I fear my side has lost by now."

"Indeed. Darth Vader has landed..."

"Our leader," Fel answered "You don't need to know more than that."

The two continued to float in the air as the battle raged all around them Their part in it was over, and soon the checkmate would be marked.

On the ground, Vader was in walking distance of the palace when several Southerlands lined up in front of the door with several dozen soldiers. They prepared to fire as Vader lifted them up with the Force, pulled his hand back, and slammed all of them through the door, which had the bonus effect opening it. Emperor Charles vi Britannia was watching the battle when the door burst open and several of his men as well as the Knightmares crashed through. Vader walked forward, his blood red lightsaber ignited.

"I see our usurper has come to greet us in person."

"Your forces are losing on all fronts. Your men are falling back or dying," Darth Vader announced as he stepped forward, slashing through several men. "Your Empire is all but fallen to the Galactic Empire. If you surrender now, the Emperor will allow you nominal control over this world in our name..." Charles turned to him as Vader walked up, shutting down his lightsaber. "You would be made the Moff of this entire solar system if you surrendered now."

"...very well.The Britannian Empire concedes defeat to the Galactic Empire...however, we aren't the only superpower on this planet. The Chinese Federation and Euro Universe still have to be dealt with..."

"I assure you, Moff Charles, they will fall into line shortly...this is a planetary invasion, and my best troops are facing them. If your nation fell this easily...they will prove to be no challenge..."

To be continued...

I love this episode!

The idea of making Charles of Brittania into an Imperial Moff is a nice way of tying the two universes together. It also allows the Britainnians to be a much more formidable threat in the Star Wars universe. This way, it justifies Luke and Leia fighting him. I also like how the Empire just mows over the Britainnians as well.

The Suzaku and Lelouch friendship is also well done.

I found this story last night while googling for Code Geass crossover fiction... very interesting. Gives me hope for the CG/Star Trek crossover story I have gestating in the back of my mind. (Incidentlaly, google Star Wars, Geass, and Paths of Redemption for the another one if you're curious.)

I hope there's further material on fallout from Kallen and Lelouch's revelations... the student councilors are likely in a state of shock from an honest-to-God alien invasion at the moment, and their "Oh - So that's what you do between classes" reaction they're showing now won't last long, particularly Nina if she stays true to form.

I hope to see more on the Emperor (Charles)'s mindset... right now, it looks like he accepted defeat too easily, although I bet the inner wheels of his mind see this as an opportunity to unite the whole world under his rule in one fell swoop. Also, a drawn-out battle would only damage his archaeological research, imperiling the Sword of Akasha project. As more info on The Force becomics apparent, perhaps we'll see him extend his Ragnarok plan on an interstellar basis rather than just his one little world. That'll draw the Black Knight snd the Jedi Knights closer together.

Very, very awesome post here. happy Nice action, and cool to see Soontir and that Bismarck fellow doing the whole 'friendly enemies' bit. Hmm, Charles... you are no longer a king, but less than a pawn. Can't wait for more.

Anymore within the next week or so? Sorry if that's pushy, but I hate when good fanfics become orphaned sad

So, you write it by hand to roughdraft it, then type it to a word program when you've hammered out all the kinks, huh?

I rarely do fanfics, but when I do, it's totally on a keyboard the entire way. Can't help it -- I'm a total hand-wimp when it comes to writing with a pen or pencil, my fingers and knuckles feel like they're on fire halfway through just a handful of thank-you cards sad

Nope. Everything is all on AIM. I just have to take it down off of my logs and post it.

Charlemange19: Thanks. What was your favorite part?

Mysecretidentity: You're right they were in a state of shock, however, they were also with friends they knew for years. They trust Lelouch and Kallen, despite their secrets. And Charles surrendered for the exact same reasons you thought. When he learns of the Force...well his plans will rival that of Palpatine's.

RK-Striker-JK5: Thanks, though his surrender'll work into his plan, Striker. Hope you like this chapter!

Sorry for the long wait. Things...happened. And I had to find the text where I wrote everything. Hope you enjoy and please read and review.

Please tell me if you want to be added to my PM list.



Chapter 4: Rebellious Ambitions
Japan, Tokyo Settlement
It would take time for the Emperor's surrender message to get to his complete forces due to the fighting raging around the globe. In Japan, Cornellia was still fighting with her men against the Imperial Forces, even though her Glouster was now one armed.

"Princess! Please retreat!" She heard Guilford call.

Cornellia growled and she eased her Knightmare back. Guilford lunges to take her place. The AT-AT's, as they had been identified after capturing an Imperial pilot from an AT-ST, were completely unstoppable. Nothing that they did could even slow them down, and it seemed like they were getting faster. They even walked through buildings like they weren't even there. Then...the message comes.

"The Emperor...surrendered?" Cornelia's eyes widened in stunned shock. "That's impossible...Father would never surrender. He'd die first."

The soldiers started to stand down, lowering their weapons. Their Southerlands looked at each other, wondering what they should do.

"Don't stand down!" Cornellia ordered. "This may very well be faked. We have to keep fighting!"

"Princess, it carries the Imperial code!"

"We have to stand down...its...orders."

Cornelia gritted her teeth. Her men began standing down again, and the princess closed her eyes.

"We'll disregard that order! We'll keep fighting! As long as we keep fighting, Britannia will never have surrendered! Soldiers of the Holy Britannian Empire, as your Princess, Cornelia li Britannia, I ORDER YOU TO ATTACK!"

Andreas Dalton and Gilbert Guilford held their breaths.

"Yes, Princess!" all the soldiers yelled and Guilford and Dalton formed up at her sides.

Cornelia spurs her Frame forward. "ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!"

"ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!" everyone yelled as they made a charge, either firing or going into close combat.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japan, Mt. Fuji base
Meanwhile, Tohdoh and the Black Knights under his command were fighting the Imperials just as fiercely. They had destroyed all of the AT-ST's that were sent against them, but the large AT-AT's were still advancing. Tohdoh, known as the Miracle Worker throughout Japan for actually defeating Britannia in a battle attempted to work out a strategy to beat these things.

"Chigusa..." he whispered to his subordinate. "Is Princess Kaguya in a safe location?"

"Yes, she is," Chigusa replied as Tohdoh looked at the AT-AT's. "Sir...do you have a plan?"

"...I might..." he said, watching as the large machines tried to manuver out of the way of some uneven terrain. "That's it."

"Aim for the legs...try to trip the things up!"

"Sir, we've tried that before! None of our weapons could penetrate their armor!"

"Then we try to trip them using our Harken wires! Armor'll mean nothing against that!" He moved in, zipping and shooting out his harken. "Chigusa, catch it!"

"Tohdoh!" She calls, seizing the harken, racing alongside the man she loves.

They got in front of th AT-AT and anchored themselves as the leg came up. Both their Knightmares strained to fight the pull up.

"Harder! Chigusa, pull!"

They pulled back...and the AT-AT fell. "YES!" Chigusa yelled.

Todoh aimed his rifle at the AT-AT's neck and fired two shots. The two leapt back as the entire unit exploded. "Pass the word along to all of our allies, we can now beat these things!"

"Right away, sir!"

There were two more AT-AT's left and due to Tohdoh's plan, they were able to trip and destroy them just as the Lancelot and the Guren arrived with Lelouch wearing his Zero garb minus the mask.

'Well done, Todoh...'

Tohdoh landed, blinking as he saw the Guren and the Lancelot together, as well as the teenager in between them.

"Kallen...do you read?"

"Who's with you?"

"The Lancelot's pilot, Suzaku Kutarugi and Lelouch Lamperuge...also known as Zero."

"...Zero? This boy...?"

"Yes Tohdoh, I am Zero."

Todoh's mouth opened in disbelief.

"I'll explain everything once we get to a safe location. Britannia has already surrendered even though some units, including Cornellia's units have decided to keep fighting."

"Britannia...?" Todoh's eyes widened.

"Yes, it has surrendered," Suzaku confirmed. "We recieved the message while we were getting the Lancelot."

"That can't...it can't be!"

"It is obvious our enemy is superior to us in every way. We need to retreat...right now we'll need to live to fight another day. That is the best we can hope to do now."

Todoh breathes out, giving the order.

As the retreat sounded, Todoh opened a channel to Suzaku. "...its good to see you finally decided to join us, Suzaku."

"...There is an enemy we have to defeat, General Todoh."

"Once this enemy is defeated, what will you do?"

"...That remains to be seen, sir."

"Answer the question, Suzaku."

"I will...aid the struggle for justice."

"And what justice is that? Under a tyrannical empire what oppresses its conquered peoples including ones who become 'honorary' or the true justice of the people?"

"General Todoh!" Suzaku yelled. "I will be the enemy of all tyranny, and that includes the Britannian Empire!"

Todoh gave a smile. "Good answer. You're finally growing up."

Suzaku gives a stiff nod...his mind is elsewhere.. 'Euphie...are you alright...? The palace in Tokyo would have been stormed by now...' He grips the controls tightly.

Todoh took a glance at Lelouch. "You're a Britannian Student, why would you help our rebellion?"

"...I'll explain when we get to safety! You have my word!" And if it comes to it... Lelouch hides a smile....he'll explain first. If Todoh has a problem, he'll see it Lelouch's way. For an instant, a jab hit him. Gaining followers through Geass...isn't what I want. If that was the case, I'd have geassed Suzaku when we rescued him. No...I have to just tell the truth. But time...IS of the essence...fine, we'll try it the right way...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chinese Federation, Mongolian Desert, Geass Institute
All over the world, governments began surrendering to the Galactic Empire. The Euro Universe folded shortly after the Britannian Empire's surrender, and the Chinese Federation folded shortly after. There was still fighting in a certain area of China, which was very heavy. Darth Vader gave the order...orbital bombardment on the target. At the Geass Institute...
VV watched from his Knightmare as the Imperial Forces were pushed back. They were retreating and he grinned.

"The power of our Geass's has prevailed...now when should I help brother? No doubt he doesn't want to become a pawn for these inferior beings," VV said, and then looked up. "What's...that...?"

A twinkle of green light shot out of the sky. In orbit, a Imperial-class Star Destroyer was firing its main battery down onto the Geass Institute. Three blasts slammed into the target area, completely vaporizing the area. The last thing that VV saw was a huge fireball enveloping his nightmare and turning the sand to glass. A massive mushroom cloud rose as well as large crack of thunder from the explosion. Even as far away as Japan, everyone could see the cloud and feel the shock wave from the impact.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ISS Devestator
On his flagship, Darth Vader entered the holonet room. The invasion had been a complete success, despite fighting still raging all over the globe. That was to be expected, however, the hard part was out of the way. Occupational forces were already moving into the various Earth cities.

"It is done...my Master..."

The image above is of the only man Darth Vader fears in the entire galaxy....the strongest of the line of Sith Lords, whose ambition and cruelty know no limits. The man who holds a galaxy in the palm of his hands.

Emperor Palpatine's lips curve into a smile. "Good..."

"There are still pockets of resistance, however, they will fall shortly. All three legitimate governments have fallen." Vader hears the icy chuckle.

"Excellent Lord Vader...you have done a great deed today. Oh...Lord Vader...? Please...make certain no traces of this...Geass...'accidentally' make its way into your hands..."

"Understood, my master," Vader feels what almost seems an icy hand...as if it's hovering over his heart.

Emperor Palpatine smiled. "I expect another report tomorrow morning, Lord Vader." With that, the connnection ceased.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japan, location unknown
Meanwhile, the Black Knights had made camp and Lelouch was breathing out as he took the rations. Everyone was eyeing him with suspicion and mistrust now, because he was a Britannian. All wondered why he was helping them. Lelouch is meeting with Todoh.

"Lelouch...correct? Now you will tell me why you are helping us."

"For the simple reason-I hate Britannia, especially the Emperor-correction, Moff, as much as you do. Britannian nobles killed my mother and crippled and blinded my younger sister. I had promised her that the world would become a gentler place by the time her eyes reopened, and for that to happen, Britannia has to be destroyed," Lelouch replied, and he paused. "Is that...sufficient?"

Todoh nodded. "...yes, it is," he looked at Lelouch with a hard eye, and the former Prince resisted the urge to use his Geass. "You've done much to help us. I'd be honored to serve under you in the Black Knights."

Lelouch gives him a smile. "Thank you..."

Kallen had been hearing from the door. ...noblemen crippled and blinded his sister...so thats why he helps us... she remembered sweet little Nunnally back at the school, and hoped she was alright.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japan, Tokyo Settlement
In Japan, three months later, renovations has been completed in the new Imperial districts...to the shock of the Japanese, the building in Tokyo had been working at constantly...many had been terrified, expecting death camps or prisons...
To their absolute shock...it was an art museum, complete with fully restored pieces recovered in the takeover. The man in attendance is the one who had immediately commissioned it...Grand Admiral Thrawn. Ever the eye for culture and art, Thrawn is examining a beautiful mural with a look of...appreciation in his crimson eyes. Not only that, there's been a massive renovation of public works, with repairs made and food given to the masses.... Still, as Thrawn predicted, it couldn't help but make people suspicious of the motives the Empire had, especially since the Japanese had already been conquered by the Britannians.

"Grand Admiral....?" his Captain asked, standing next to the Chiss as he admired the painting in front of him.

Thrawn gives a smile, sat back with a glass of wine in his hand. "The works they did with just...simple oils."

"A patron of the arts as well...?" Thrawn heard and he looked to see a blond human wearing white clothing of Britannian Royalty.

"Schniezel vi Britannia, I assume. Of what do I owe this honor?"

"I had just...visited the museum..." Schneizel smiled politely. "And I heard about your orders in regards to the Japanese people..."

Thrawn leans back. "I disapprove of needless brutality and starving a populace. They are humans, thus equal under the Empire...Japanese or not."

Schneizel notes the use of the word 'human.' And you're anything but...

"I have heard of your military accomplishments, Schneizel. Your forces were able to give the Empire's one of the only true battles on this world, such a display of combat mastery is prized in the Empire."

Schneizel gives a polite smile, glancing to the Chiss and Thrawn's guards...all have guns at ready. If Schneizel even twitches a finger wrong...

"I am not being threatened, Commander. You may stand down and go about your patrol," Thrawn said calmly. The men reluctantly put the weapons up. "Mind showing me some works from Britannia, Prince Schneizel?"

"Most certainly, Admiral.."

Euphemia was watching the construction of a starport in the Tokyo Settlement from the window of her palace. She was worried about Cornellia, her forces haven't been seen since the invasion. As well as...Suzaku...

The Academy was attacked...was he...caught up in it? No...He has to be alive...he just has to...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese Countryside
Cornellia and Guilford, the only two surviving members of their unit drove threw the Japanese countryside in their badly damaged Glousters. Andreas Dalton had survived as well...though they'd had to split up.

"Princess...are you...?"

"I am fine...for some reason...I'm being called here. I can't explain it," Cornellia said as they drove. She had recieved minor injuries in the previous battle.

"Princess..." Guilford's frame supports hers.

Their radar's detected movements and Guilford looked around as...a Black Knight Akatsuki Frame came into view.

"Princess, behind me!"

Todoh lowered his rifle. "...Zero wants to speak with you, Princess Cornelia. I assure you and your Knight will not be harmed."

"...Very well..."

"Princess!"
"We are in no position to fight, Guilford. Our Frames are lucky to still even be moving...we submit..."

DeCornelia came out of her Glouster, followed by Guilford and they followed Todoh to the hidden Black Knight camp. There were many refugees around being fed, clothed, and were helping with the Knightmare maintainence. All gave glares to Cornelia as she passed through. Cornelia does her best to ignore it.

I can't blame them for hating me, after what I did during my rule... Cornellia thought as she passed through the camp. To her astonishment, she saw the Lancelot standing next to the Black Knights Guren unit, but she was forced to keep moving. She then got to the main tent, and walked in to see Zero himself. "...it is good to see you're alive, Princess Cornelia. We have much to discuss."

"The famous Zero...what do you want?" Cornellia asked as she glared at him. "First off, let me remove this mask and you'll understand why I have joined the Japanese people in fighting Britannia."

Cornelia holds her breath, and Zero removed his mask and Cornelia's eyes widened. "L-Lelouch?"

"Hello, sister...I assume this is quite a shock to you, I'll let you have a few minutes to take it all in, and you listen to the reasons why I'm doing this..." Lelouch told her as she breathed out, and listened. "I was going to destroy Britannia and usher in a gentler world for Nunnally to live in, Cornelia. I assume you understand why now, correct?" She gives a quick nod. "Oh, I know you're thinking you'd rather kill me yourself right now, Sister...now I could do this the easy way, or the hard way. Sister, do you know who killed my mother and paralyzed and blinded Nunnally?"

"No..." Cornellia replied sharply, her eyes narrowed and focused on him. "I have no idea who did that, Lelouch. Why are you asking?"

"Since Clovis, before he died after the Shinjuku Massacre, told me that either you or Schneizel would know."

"...You...you killed..." Cornellia stammered for a second, and then she growled. "Why Lelouch? He was your brother."

"Only a few people in the Royal Family I consider family now, Cornelia. Clovis is not one of them. He became a monster, killing innocent people in a racist agenda to cover his own failures. I see it as a karmic death for him since he literally brought it on himself."

Cornelia grits her teeth, clenching her fist under the table. "He did it because he thought THEY murdered YOU."

"That doesn't excuse anything, Cornelia, and you know it," Lelouch told her firmly. "It also doesn't excuse your massacres and crackdowns on the Japanese people. Or on the Arabians in former 'Area 18'. How many women and children have you slaughtered in the name of Britannia? All because they were 'inferior', am I right and you were doing them a favor?" Lelouch looked out upon the camp. "You're not very well liked here, sister. Many people who have survived your own evil doings live here as refugees."

"What I did...I did as a soldier of Britannia..." Cornellia said firmly, keeping her eyes on her brother. "And I will not apologize..."

"So that excuses everything, doesn't it?" Lelouch asked her. "The deaths of innocent people are on your hands. You'd be lucky if Nunally even looked at you."

Cornelia bristled. "How dare you...what about you Lelouch? You murdered Clovis!"

"I've never targetted civilians. If you recall, I helped save Euphemia and the civilians from the Japanese Liberation Front. That's the clear difference between you and Clovis and I. I don't target civilians."

He sat back down and could see Cornelia shaking...the words stung. They hurt a lot. Lelouch smiles in response, everything was going according to plan. Cornelia finally stopped shaking, and she breathed out.

"I guess I will be killed now, correct, Lelouch? To make up for my crimes?"

"No, I am giving you a chance to atone, Cornelia. Your death will solve nothing and the Galactic Empire is our enemy now," Lelouch replied, and his smirk widened. "We need every gifted strategist we can get, and you bested me once so you qualify. Right now, we need to free our world...so do you accept?"

Cornellia growled, her mind racing as she thought of everything. Lelouch waited for her to make her decision, his confident smile glaring back at her. In his mind he thought 'check', knowing that he had ensnared her.

"...yes...I accept, Lelouch."

Lelouch nodded, and he smiled. "Welcome to the fold, sister. Our next target is rescuing Euphemia from house arrest."

"Euphie...is she...?" Cornellia asked, her attention fully caught.

"Father put her under arrest since she was speaking out against the regime. Knowing him, its only a mater of time until he kills her."

Cornelia's eyes widened. "Father would never..."

"Sister, don't fool yourself. Like Nunnally, father would see Euphemia as weak due to her gentle nature. Not only that, she has publicly denounced him. He'd want to nip such things in the bud before she starts rallying people."

"...Father would never harm Euphemia..."

"How sure of that are you?" Lelouch asked her. "Are you willing to risk it?"

"Of...of course not..."

"Euphemia is either tolerated or loved by the people here due to her gentle and kind nature, as well as the decrees she made that have closed the gap between Britannian and Japanese equality." Lelouch smiled. "The decision is yours..."

"...very well, we rescue Euphemia before something happens," Cornelia said. "When do we move out?"

"As soon as your Glousters are repaired, sister. Until then..." Lelouch said, as he stood up. "You will be treated as guests here."

She nodded once, and she closed her eyes as she breathed out.

"So, welcome to the Black Knights, sister."

"Lelouch...thank you."

She breathed out, rubbing her temple. Lelouch's recanting of her sins really stung. I...did what I had to...didn't I...?

She closes her eyes. Images of civilians surrendering to her flashed in her mind, and then they were just...gunned down by her troops. She shuddered as more and more images...a father shielding his son from weapons fire, and when he was dead his body was kicked away and the young son was shot through the head despite please of mercy. Had she...felt anything then... Looking at her hands...she saw the blood of countless innocents on them.

"...." she can't say a word...as Lelouch walked out as Guilford walked over to her.

"Princess Cornelia, are you...alright?"

"...Fine, Guilford," Cornellia replied as she bottled her guilt. "Lets...just find our quarters and retire for the night."

"Yes, Princess..."

In another part of the camp, Kallen was working on repairing some minor damage that had been inflicted onto her Guren MK. II. In a recent battle, she had to create a radiation pulse to shield herself from a proton missile launched by a squad of Storm Troopers which had missile launchers.

"Alright...looking better..." She wiped the sweat off her forehead and jumped down from her Frame and looked to see Lelouch walking over. A small smile appeared on her face. "Lelouch...how was the..."

"Cornelia and Guilford have joined us. Despite what they've done in the past, it'd be stupid to turn away or kill two very good pilots and one very good strategist."

Kallen gives a frown. "Many people here hate Cornelia, Lelouch, Some may even refuse to work with her."

"I'm aware of that...leave it to me. I have also found a way to contact some allies that are fighting the Galactic Empire all over the Galaxy..." D

Kallen blinked in confusion, not knowing what he was referring to.

"The Rebel Alliance..." Lelouch said and he smiled. "They have the resources we would need to liberate our planet. However, we'd need to get their attention...the only way I can think of is with a victory. A large one."

"You think that'll work?"

"We don't have many options..." Lelouch replied.

:"I know that...it's just..." Kallen said and she breathed out. "...its a long shot...but you know what you're doing?"

"I believe so..."

"Then I trust you, Lelouch." Kallen smiles at him.

He smiled back. The two had become closer ever since the invasion. Other than CC, Kallen had became his most trusted confidant.

"Thank you...Kallen."

"You're welcome, Lelouch," Kallen said with a smile as he looked up at her Knightmare. "It's repaired..."

He nodded and the two walked throughout the camp. He paused for a second. "...we have some time until the next battle, Kallen...would you..." he rubbed the back of his neck. "...like to go out to dinner with me tonight?"

Kallen blushed. "S-Sure Lelouch...when and where?"

"The dining hall at the Student Council Building? Its the only place I could think of on short notice..."

"I...I'd love to. I'll see you there, Lelouch."

Lelouch nodded, and he smiled, walking off again. He breathed out, contemplating his feelings for Kallen. She was smart, beautiful, charming, and compassionate at times. Over the months, they worked together as a team, while he commanded from his Knightmare, she would back him up in the Guren. And in school, despite trying not to until then, the students commented that they looked like a couple. Milly-who was somewhere in the base now-even teased them at times about it.

In another part of the camp, Suzaku was training with Todoh in a nearly religious-like drive.

"Faster! You think you can stand against your enemies like that?!"

Their bokkens clashed as Todoh forced Suzaku back. Euphemia's Knight breathed out heavily and their wooden swords clashed with loud 'thwacks' and Suzaku moved back before dodging Todoh's next strike and slamming his own wooden sword into his teacher's side.:He moved, going under Todoh's guard, so focused on it that he didn't notice the wooden blade above him. And then, the match was over. Todoh had struck Suzaku's head before his own blow could hit.

"Well done," Todoh said with a smile, straightening up. "You've gotten better since the last time we sparred."

"Thanks..." Suzaku said, giving a small smile, and then he closed his eyes. "I have...a lot to make up for."

"Then work on it." Todoh responds calmly. "No one is beyond redemption, Suzaku. If you really want it, you have to work for it.

Suzaku nodded, looking at his old sensei. "Thanks..."

"You're welcome..." The two walked over to the side of the arena, and began drinking some water after their match. Even after all these years, Todoh was still the better fighter than him.

Suzaku remains quiet, his thoughts elsewhere.

You're worried about her, aren't you?"

"...Yes," Suzaku replied, closing his eyes. "She's in danger...and I haven't stopped thinking of her..."

"We'll have her soon..."

Suzaku nodded, and he breathed out. "I know...thanks.."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Britannian Imperial Palace, Tokyo, Japan
At the Palace, Euphemia had just returned from a rally with other anti-Imperial activists. She had recieved a phone call from her father after the rally, warning her not to continue with such...projects. She's resolved to do so...more subtly. However, her father's warning...it scared her. He was far more harsher to her than she remembered. She knows...there'll be consequences if she's caught. Euphemia looked out the window to see the moon rising. Even from Earth, the construction projects around and on the moon were seen. There were massive veins of sakurdite on the moon which the Empire was going to exploit, and the people of Earth would not get any of the benifits.

There has to be something... Her thoughts then drifted to Suzaku. She hoped that he was alright. ...I'll see him again... She sat down, and breathed out. Think, Euphie...what can you do...? Have to think...there has to be someone we can contact for aid...She begins thinking to herself...

Little did she know that the Black Knights would be coming to rescue her. Under pressure from his superiors, Charles had resolved to eliminate his daughter in the next couple of weeks, despite how much it pained him...

To be continued...

I liked this episode a great deal.

Lelouch's conversation with Cornellia was a long time coming where he explained his reasoning in a clear and concise manner. I also like that Cornellia pointed out that Clovis was attacking the Japanese people over Lelouch's murder. I'm not certain I buy that Cornellia was always into the killing of civilians. She seemed a great deal more honorable than Clovis was ever.

Personally, I'd like a much larger flashback to where exactly Lelouch found out about the Rebel Alliance since there's not much of a chance he could have learned about it from local sources. It would be interesting to see that handled in fiction, even if you want to move forward.

I also support Euphemia/Luke.

;-)
