Chapter 5 The Black Knights (Final)

Let the Sparks Fly by Thousand Foot Krutch

G-1

Hadrian stood quiet and calm on the outside, but inside he was screaming to unleash his rage onto JLF fools for capturing the people in the hotel. Not only them but his sister Euphemia, some members from the school, and Milly. His power was pulsing with deep rage and hatred for them but he took some deep breaths and did his best to relax before unsettling the men around him. He had to control himself as his Geass was almost close to causing some havoc in the room.

Hadrian sighed and did his very best to keep himself grounded. The wolf inside was ready to hunt his prey and is struggling to be patient.

His attention was brought back on hearing the JLF's new toy, a KMF Railgun cannon, keeping their forces out of the tunnel.

How interesting.

"Unacceptable!" Cornelia roared which made everyone jump but not Guilford, Darlton, Nonette, and Hadrian.

They know why she was upset.

The Goddess of Victory then narrowed her eyes, doing her best to control herself and took some breaths. Guildford tried to calm her down but her anger wouldn't go away

Hadrian then walked towards his sister, placing a hand on her right shoulder and got her attention.

"Calm yourself, Cornelia. Rescuing the hostages and Euphie will come but taking risky actions without plans in mind would get people killed. I already have a rescue plan underway," Hadrian said which calmed Cornelia down at this and wondered what her brother has in mind.

"What do you have in mind, Hadrian?" Cornelia asked.

"General Darlton, how many troopers are on the rooftop when the hotel was taken over?" The black-haired prince asked.

"Around five men from what our men have reported before they were attacked or shot down on trying to fly in to land on the rooftop," Darlton replied, wondering where his former student was getting at which made everyone wonder the same thing as well.

"Interesting, but useful," He commented before going to the control panel and typed a few command keys that showed radio screen for a theory he was doing.

"What does my hubby have in mind, Harry?" Nonette said, hugging the prince from behind which he almost reacted but push that aside and focus.

"Well if you must know, I'm trying to gain contact with a sleeper agent that I'm hoping is on the rooftop" Hadrian informed, surprising everyone.

"How? I mean no disrespect your highness but your spy network could not have already infiltrated the JLF. Surely it has to take more time for such spies to be inside that organization" Guilford explained.

Hadrian nodded his head on that information and said, "Quite right but I'm not the one who put the sleeper agent in the JLF. Of course, I would have done that by now and my spies would have explored the group in the matter of mere days before they are hunted down like mongrels. This agent is not my own but rather someone else before his death."

This made everyone surprised and taken back on what Hadrian was mentioning.

"Clovis?" Cornelia mumble in a surprise of this.

"Yes, I found out shortly of my arrival in the area. Clovis had one Honorable Britannia take the mission with total confidentiality at the highest level. No one knows about this agent, not his Royal Guard or anyone in fact. He, on paper, doesn't exist but I found out by a certain knight of mine," Hadrian said.

"Ah, Hermione. Only she could learn such secrets" Darlton said with a small smile of his daughter on finding this information.

"Indeed, but one problem. If the sleeper agent is on the roof then the next step of the plan can take place," Hadrian remind as typed the code that only the agent can pick up in his earpiece and have the password in.

It was quite for a second as the password, Cellar door, goes to the agent who was in fact on the roof taking a smoke break. He almost dropped his cigar but kept himself together and listen to the signal. He hummed in thought before nodding his head to himself and buzzed his hidden earpiece com, informing his highness siblings that he is in.

The computer beeped, showing the information which a few could understand it. It was good that the general taught this old radio communication.

"He's in," Darlton informed, getting a sense of relief and drive for the mission that Hadrian has in mind in motion.

"Ohohoh hahaha that's my hobby, Harry!" Nonette cheered as she kissed the prince on the cheeks and lips in pure happiness, getting Hadrian to blush at her actions.

"Nonette, enough!" Hadrian shouted trying to get the happy woman off him while blushing fully at her actions.

Cornelia smiled slightly at the show between her best friend/rival and little brother. She felt great now, knowing that her brother has a plan to save their sister and hostages. The Goddess of Victory has great faith in her brother and knows that his mission won't fail due to his record saving hostages in great heights. He may be a wolf in battle but he won't drag people into battle, no civilians damage on his watch.

"Nonette please stop attacking my brother with your anticks and let him get ready for the mission," Cornelia said, stopping the show.

"You are no fun, Nelia," Nonette pouted, allowing Hadrian to finally be free.

After fixing himself, Hadrian spoke, "I will be ready shortly with three of my men. It's time to bring Euphie home."

Hadrian then leaves as his Geass shines in his eye.

Time Skip

We now see Hadrian wearing a black suit with a wolf mark on his chest, suiting up for the halo jump part of the mission. The silver mask was at his side as he put his custom pistol in his hip holster, lock and loaded. A grey/silver Walther P38 with a scope, bowler longer, and handle holder. He then put his crimson MVS blade in its holder on the left side of his hip and was ready for this mission.

The suit Hadrian is wearing, is a stealth suit, one that he took great time and money to be made in his R&R group specially made. The plan was to have him and his men perform a stealth entry from the roof and head down to save the people and take JLF trooper prisoner for information.

Three of his men saluted their prince as they enter the helicopter for their halo drop.

"Your highness, we just gained a call that Zero has arrived in a news van" The pilot informed.

Hadrian hummed in deep thought of this and knew that Cornelia would jump at the chance to capture Zero. But he had a plan and was going to use Zero for that. He then places his helmet on his head.

"Get Princess Cornelia on the coms for me," Hadrian said, having his voice change slightly due to the voice changer.

"Are we stopping the mission?" The pilot asked.

The prince shook his head and said, "No, we will follow the mission through. I will talk with Cornelia of a plan we could use to our edge and maybe gain some information, but our mission is saving the hostages before anything."

"Yes, your highness!" The Fenrir Knights and pilot saluted before the helicopter takes off.

Hadrian then started to listen to the talk between Zero and Cornelia

Before anything escalated, Hadrian spoke in her comms and said "Let him through. It could give us time and allow me to save the hostages without that fool finding out to cause more trouble. Also, send Warrant Officer Sukzua in to take the tunnel and crimpled the forces before destroying the pillar."

With Cornelia, she heard what her brother was saying and was in deep thought which became a big shock when Zero mentioned Euphiema.

He knows! He knows that her sister was captured due to her history of dealing hostages. She was close on pulling the trigger of her sword-gun but didn't for a few reasons and her brother spoke to her as he heard what Zero said to her.

"Don't lose yourself, sister. Just let him through, my wolves and I will save the hostages and Euphie, Suzuka deals with the tunnel, and most likely Zero will deal with the fools for doing this. Idealists hate racist thinkers," Hadrian said remembering his sister of their last talk with tea.

Cornelia understands that and will admit that her brother had a great plan in mind. Allowing them to pass can save the hostages some time to allow Hadirna to save them and deal with these racist JLF fools, but maybe Zero can be dealt with as well which was a long shot and anything can happen.

"Very well then...let him pass," Cornelia ordered, shocking a few of the men below her Knightmare but didn't voice against it and just follow orders.

As Zero and Cornelia shared one last look before going, the princess spoke, "If Euphiema is hurt in any shape or way, I will have your head Zero."

Zero would have flinched but kept himself calm and strong as underneath the mask Lelouch knows how much Cornelia will do anything to protect her younger siblings. He knows his older-half sister would protect Euphiema, Hadrian, Nunnally, and himself when they were younger which brings some hidden questions in mind but a story for another time. Now he needed to save the hostage and deal with the fool that started this.

"You have my word," Zero said as the van drove past Cornelia's Gloucester and her knights.

Cornelia then placed her right hand on her eyepiece com and spoke, "Are you in position, Hadrian?"

"Yes, we are. Our sleeper agent has dealt with the men on top with a drink and has taken them in for questioning," Hadrian replied as he stood on the rooftop with his men trying the four troopers up.

"Good, I will send Warrant Officer Suzuka in, you have five to ten minutes to get the hostages out," Cornelia said, showing some cornered in her voice.

Hadrian understood what his sister meant, nodding his head and said, "I understand and don't worry my dear sister, I will save Euphie and bring her back home. I promise."

The talk was ended by both of them as they have work to do on their ends.

Small Time Skip

It some time to get to the lower levels and find the hostages but lucky enough that one of the Fenrir Knights had studied the layout of the whole build just in case and now they were here.

Hadrian then hand signaled two of his men to one door while one stands at his side. He then pointed his wrist like a watch for a few seconds as he started to get ready to enter the room but not before activated the stealth suit's special ability. The whole suit started hummed before binding the light behind the users and started to cloak the whole very being for the young price to get started.

Two of the Fenrir Knights behind the other door waited for the signal to go in, no killing as their orders were to captured them for questioning. They have ways to get their targets which they are very prideful and lazy. Idiots and that will be their downfall soon enough.

Hadrian's attention was brought back when he saw a soldier snapping at classmate/fellow member of school for calling him an Eleven which he saw Milly doing her very best to calm the poor girl down.

"How about I take you three to the next room and show you who's in changed!?" The soldier shouted as he grabbed the girl by her hair who screamed in pure panic and that caused the prince to act as he had enough.

Hadrian grabbed the trooper's hand, gripping and twist it to snap in two to cause him to scream and brought everyone the attention of the man in pain. The prince then brought right fist out and drove it to the fool's face, shutting him up and knock his lights out with one punch to the face.

Everyone was shocked by what just happen but true to relief as the person decloaked and had the wolf mark on his chest, meaning he was a member of the Fenrir Knights.

The rest of the Fenrir Knights easily took out the rest of JLF troopers as well and the room was secure.

"Room secure, your highness," A Fenrir Knight said with a salute to the prince.

"Good, have the hostages move out but do it very quietly. We don't want to get the attention of the fool upstairs which most likey he is having a meeting with Zero," Hadrian ordered before looking among the group to find his sister who wore civilian clothes and was not hard to miss due to her pink hair that stood out.

The young prince walk over to Euphemia who was surprised but had an idea who it was behind the mask.

"Brother?" She asked.

"Yes, Euphie, it's me. Let's go home," He answered with his hand out which his sister took it with a second thought and was happy that her brother had come to save her and the people.

"Sir, we are all set here," A soldier said.

"Good, get going to boats that we can use to get out. And remember, keep quiet," Hadrian informed.

"Yes sir, right away."

With Milly and others who are Shirley and Nina, were shock what just happen but relief that they are saved and this nightmare can end. The blonde Ashford had an idea who was the man in changed which she smirked and was looking forward to rewarding Hadrian very much for what he had done for her and her friends.

Shirley was in relief and looked forward to going home to put this night behind.

Nina was blushing and was very relieved of her masked knight in shining armor saved her. Oh, this could be interesting.

"Hadrian, I want to go with you and see this to the end," Euphemia requested, knowing that her brother was going to deal with the man is changed.

"Out of the question, Euphie. I won't endanger your life," Hadrian said, not wanting his sister get dragged into more danger. It was enough for one night.

"Hadrian, I have to see this night through to the end," The third princess stated with her voice strong and demand to see the night end.

Hadrian stood quite, knowing that Euphemia was set into this and won't once she has her mind set on something.

He sighed and said, "Fine but stay close and keep quiet."

Euphemia smiled a little before nodding her head and listen to her brother.

Hadrian smiled a little underneath his mask before taking his sister upstairs and know where the so-call control was located.

"Stay close," Hadrian whispered, having Ephiemia stay close as the young prince sensed something wrong here, very wrong.

Hadrian tried to sense the lieutenant colonel and his men but sensed something else, a Geass user which seems very familiar to him. As he tried to look at it, it would change at the last second. Someone was having a meeting with Kusakabe and something was happening.

As the siblings entered the room which was a mistake as saw Kusakable and his whole men dead by via suicide by their kanatas.

Hadrian's whole body harden in steel, not giving to this site while Euphemia did her best not to be sick. She was calm down when her brother held her hand and helped her relax from this scene she was seeing.

The 12th prince frowned as this scene made no sense to him. He started to instigated with closer and noticed that he felt a trailer of Geass being used not to long ago. Hmm, interesting and something to keep a not of.

"Hadrian li Britannia and Euphemia li Britannia, members of the Imperial Royal Family," A voice spoke, getting their attention to see the Masked Man himself standing in the middle of the room.

"Zero," Euphemia said.

Hadrian didn't say a word as he keeps sensing the Geass travel which points to the one who uses it which was Zero himself.

"So Zero has Geass. But the question is; what kind of Geass? A powerful to force the fools to commit suicide. An eye contact command or voice? Hmm, I will have to look into that later," Hadrian thought as he pushes his thoughts aside and focuses on Zero for the time being.

"Are you going to kill us like Clovis?" Euphemia asked or rather stated.

Zero was close on pulling his pistol but he didn't which was odd for him and know why. Lelouch wanted to pull his gun to show his point but he didn't like a memory of his childhood playing in his mind. A memory of him playing with Nunnally, Euphiema, Hadrian, and Cornelia to another memory of first meeting his younger brother.

Why this was so hard? The answer was in front of Lelouch but can't see at the moment and will in due time.

Zero then noticed that Hadrian had his hands on the hilt of his sword and grip on the pistole, ready to act which he wasn't ready for.

"No," Zero said, shaking his head and spoke, "I have no need or reason to harm you both at that moment. I have already finished my mission as the hostages are safe thanks to Hadrian and the fools are dealt with."

"Agree...so for dealing with the fools and trying to save my sister, I will let you and your group walk away with a free pass as a sign of thanks. But next time, next time we will fight on the battlefield as enemies," Hadrian said.

"Brother," Euphiema said, voicing her concern for her brother and didn't want a fight to happen now. It's enough.

"You two haven't changed," Zero said which got the siblings' attention and wonder who is this guy.

That question will have to wait as a certain White Knight has finished his work and Masked Man was getting plans started up.

Small Time Skip

Hadrian stood tall as the boat took him and his men back to the island. Nearby other boats were out with the others and a massive boat was here who had Zero and his men on it for his big show to take place.

"People! Fear us, or rally behind us as you see fit. We are the Black Knights."

"Black Knights huh," Hadrian thought, finding it interesting but listen to Zero's speech as he was captured by it.

"We of the Black Knights stand with all those who have no weapons to wield, regardless of whether they be Elevens or Britannians. The Japan Liberation Front cowardly took innocent Britannian civilians hostage, and then mercilessly executed them. It was a wanton and meaningless act, therefore they have been punished, just as former Viceroy Clovis was punished for ordering the slaughter of countless unarmed Elevens. We cannot standby and allow such cruelty to be carried out, and so we made him pay for his actions. I will not repudiate battle on a fair and level field, but neither will I tolerate a one-sided massacre of the weak by the strong," Zero said, capturing much attention to him, some were amazed and some were wanted to kill this fool.

"The only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed!"

Those words trigged a bad memory to play out for Hadrian as he clenched the left side of his face with his left hand as his Geass was burning from that painful memory. The memory that his aunt dies on that day. The young prince sighed before calming himself and focus on the matter at hand, having his Geass fully calm now.

"Wherever oppressors use their power to attack those who are powerless, we shall appear again, no matter how mighty, how formidable our foe may be. Those of you in power, fear us! Those of you without it, rally behind us! We, the Black Knights, shall be the ones who stand in judgment of this world!" Zero shouted as the lights went off, having himself and his group disappeared out of thin air.

Cornelia and Hadrian will respect Zero, allowing him to go this one time. However, the next meeting would be interesting and will take place on the battlefield.

Things are getting interesting.

Next Day

"I'm surprised no one has gotten through you yet but no matter. You will break for taking part in harming my sister & others...lastly for pissing me off," Hadrian said as he walks forward to the captured JLF trooper who has been through a lot of torture by orders of the Warlock and Goddess of Victory for threatening their sister and get the location of the JLF base.

His fellow men were so lucky as they did sing with some interesting information and now one more left to go to complete the information.

"Piss off Britannia fucker," The trooper said through his wounds.

"Ohhh that's not very nice and trust me, you will break. It's only a matter of time and I can't wait. Oh boys," Hadrian said as he snapped his fingers and allowed two men to walk in with some fun toys for torture, getting the JLF trooper to widen his eyes in pure horror and panic.

"Happy hunting and make the sheep sing," The prince smirked as he exited the room, blocking out the pure screams of horror as the torture has started.

Oh, he will break soon enough and that's what he gets for taking part in harming his little sister, Milly, and others.

The hunt has begun and the JLF is the prey for the Great Wolf to hunt down.

Updates:

Fenrir Knights (Update):

Hadrian li Britannia (Founder/Leader): Raijin: Black and white, almost glowing white, themed armor and was slightly taller than other Knightmares. Its forearms were slightly bulkier and seem like the Lancelot than other frames, its limbs looking almost as flexible as the legs of a spider, with almost unnatural sharp claws that could tear apart any metal and four-fingered legs with claws similar with those of his hands, that could be used to sustain its weight on any surface.

The helmet was samurai and wolf-like theme with ears, resembling more of a wolf's skull than its face. Its eyes glowing a sinister yellow and red light, making it look more like a demon than a Knightmare. On each hip were two black weapons, being railguns pistols. The arms have whips that are ignited with lightning that can rip apart any Knightmares but has some trouble with Guren and Lancelot armor.

A good number of MVS blades of different colors on the hip or back in holders to hold the blades or collection that Hadrian gains in victory. The arms can split into two, being four arms and make this a dangerous Knightmare to face one on one, a demon wolf in the making.

It was is development but energy wings for flight ability ready. The Knightmare has powerful thermal jets attached to the wings, being able to give the wings a boost in both movement and speed, each being able to unleash four bursts of thermal energy. The wings could also take the form of a long silver cape with red energy moving around it, creating a protective barrier around its chest and limbs.

Hermione Granger-Darlton (Second in Command): A black and silver Gloucester with a wolf-theme.

The rest of the Units have a costume made Gloucester, Sutherland with elector staffs, and a few Vincent Ward later on in the story. But all of the Knightmares have a wolf symbol on their frames and wolf theme claws, making them stand out as wolves.
