"Talking"

'Thinking'

(Gundam talking)

"Dimensional rift talking"

The Demon's crusade begins

Setsuna powered up Exia and then lifted off the ground and moved towards the sky and hid behind the cloud coverage and smoke that resonate within the destruction of the city "Look at this, all because of one man's foolish dream to rule the world and grasp it within his hand." said Setsuna as he glared down at the ensuing chaos, his hand gripping the controls (Setsuna stay focused, you need a clear head if you intend to help Lelouch win this battle.)

Setsuna settled and recomposed himself, he inhaled and exhaled as he began to calm himself. As he looked one more time a single word crossed his mind 'Azadistan' the turmoil reminded him of the war, he killed his parents, watched his friends die, also killed a few other as well, and all for in the name of God. "There is no God, not in the world I came from and certainly not in here either." Setsuna said as he flew higher into the cloud coverage.

Lelouch

Gunfire is heard from the distance, as Lelouch stood in a warehouse that is now filled with the bodies of dead Elevens and Britanians. 'I don't understand what it is that you wanted me to do? Why did you give me this bizarre power?' thought Lelouch as he looked down at the green haired girl that risked her life to save him. A blast then landed near the entrance of the warehouse.

Lelouch turned rapidly and looked to see who fired the shot, then a cloud of smoke blown through the large hole as a Knightmare entered the building. The faceplate opened and in the center was a scanner, Villetta looked at the scene before her and tried to see if there was any living soul left within the building. She then spotted Lelouch "Eh, how could all these royal guards be dead?" she asked herself, she then spotted Lelouch "What happened here boy? And why's a Britannian student in a place like this?"

Lelouch didn't respond to her, "Are you deft! Answer me or I'll" Lelouch stilled didn't answer her, instead he scoffed at her. Villetta decided to scare the truth out of him and opened fired at the wall and shot around Lelouch who in turn just stood there calmly. In another bout of getting information Villetta ordered him once more, "Answer me!"

Lelouch had enough of her antics and turned to face the Knightmare, "I order you to come out at once." commanded Lelouch as his left eye turned into a red tint with the bird symbol active within it. Villetta taken aback by this sudden command, "Who the hell do you think you are to order me." Lelouch's geass retreated 'I see, it only works with direct eye contact.' so in a quick attempt to lure her out he took a step and said "My name is Allen Spacer, my fathers a Duke."

"Nobility?" Villetta said to herself, "My I.D. card is in my breast pocket. After you confirmed who I am I'll request your protection. Villetta was cautious for a moment but soon made up her mind, she turned off the Knightmare then opened the hatch, she pulled out her gun and gripped the wire cord to lower her down to the ground and as she descended she aimed at Lelouch.

"Keep your hands up in the air, I'll check out your I.D." Lelouch smirked and knew she fell into his trap. He activated his geass once more "Now then, hand over your Knightmare to me." Villetta's mind went blank as her mind shifted, she twirled the gun and held the barrel, "Understood, the code number is 6G21G2D41" Villetta as she spun her activation key and tossed it to Lelouch. "Got it." Villetta's mind began to clear and seen that Lelouch was nowhere to be found, "What the?" she was baffled as she looked around her surroundings. and seen that her Sutherland was gone as well.

Suzaku opened his eyes everything blurry for a moment and then it all began to seem normal, until a loud voice was heard."So are we having a bad Day!" said Lloyd as looked down at an injured Suzaku. "Looks like you missed a chance to Heaven Privet Kururugi." Suzaku tried to get as he questioned the mad doctor "I... I did? Where" Lloyd stopped him mid sentence. "Hmm, oh we're still in the Shinjuku Ghetto." Cécile then stepped in to finish the explanation "With Prince Cloves nearby this is probably the safest place anywhere."

She went to a corner in the tuck and returned with a damaged pocket watch in a white cloth, "This is what saved your life Mr. Suzaku." Lloyd smirked and returned attention to himself "You were luck when it was under your protective suit because that was what deflected the bullet." Cécile being curious asked Suzaku about the small trinket, "Is it a keepsake?" Suzaku reached for the pocket watch "Ya, very" Suzaku looked at the watch and seen that the front glass was cracked.

"You Elevens believe that gods live in side everything even objects don't you?" Suzaku then interrupted him as he remembered why he got shot. "Is Lelou," Suzaku caught his mistake quickly and returned to his soldier persona. "What's the latest on the situation" asked Suzaku to let his mind forget about Lelouch for the moment and to move the subject in a different area.

"It seems the poison gas was released, massive Eleven casualties have been reported." said Lloyd as he looked at Suzaku for a reaction , "They haven't caught the perpetrators yet." Suzaku was calmed down inside and glad to here Lelouch seemed to have made it out along with the green haired girl. In a disappointed voice he spoke "They didn't huh, not yet?"

"Private Kururugi how much experience do you have piloting a Knightmare frame ?" asked Lloyd coyly as he watched Suzaku gain a confused look on his face. "But theres no way an Eleven would be made a Knight." Lloyd smirked and pulled out an activation key "Well supposing you could." Suzaku was speechless the two looked at him for any sign of agreement. Finally he sighed and accepted the offer. "Congratulations the only Knightmare of its kind awaits you. Once you take controls of this big beauty everything will change, you and your world." Cécile continued the conversation "Whether you want it to or not."

A tank was firing at a group Japanese and killed a few, it aimed the barrel towards the remnants of the group and prepared to fire until it was hit by a Harken which erupted from the ground. Kallen was seething in hatred and rage, her hand gripping the controls, and tear stinging her eyes, "Those damned Britannians!" someone contacted her threw her commchannel "Kallen can that Glasco still move!"

"Don't worry Ohgi! It's alright I'll decoy them get the people out of here the only only ones that'll be captured are those of use in the resistance." Gunfire made it hard for him to hear her but he caught what she was saying, "I know but were trapped, they got us completely surrounded."

Back at Ashford academy Shirley and other girls in the swim team were getting dressed and watching the small portable t.v. in the changing room. The other girls were sitting down at a table conversing about why one of them weren't fast enough during practice. As Shirley got on her swimsuit her phone rang, she picked it up and seen that it was Lelouch.

"Lulu? What in the world have you been doing, where are you now, if you keep cutting class you'll get held back as well get Setsuna held back because you take him with you." said Shirley in a concerning voice as she fixed her hair. "Are you near a t.v.?" asked Lelouch as he traveled around the Ghetto, "A t.v.?" asked Shirley in a confused voice. "Sorry, but this is really important." Shirley huffed and went to the t.v. and asked her friends if it was alright for her to change the channel. She then asked what he wanted it turned to "The News, is there any news about Shinjuku." Shirley checked the news and read a report and got back to Lelouch.

"There's nothing going on, traffic restrictions." Lelouch was at the side of a building and then hid as he spotted a tank pass by him. "What kind of traffic restrictions?" Shirley kept a look on the screen "I don't know? It's not saying for some reason." It finally made sense to him 'I get it, once they finish everyone off they'll release news that favors the military.' He was broken from his thoughts as he looked at the destruction of what used to be a familys home. "Ohhh, you and Setsuna are gambling again aren't you. I warned you once before how dangerous that is."

"Yep, you caught us both Shirley, and can you tell my little sister that I'll be coming home late tonight, thanks." As he hung up Shirley became frustrated and tried to reach him again but was unable because the signal was blocked. Lelouch looked at his phone and seen that he was now blocked from making any calls, he brought up the field map and examined the pattern of the other Knightmares he then exited the Knightmare and viewed the carnage that surrounded him, it did little to faze him but it gave him a new conviction to fight.

Setsuna

The young gundam meister watched as the battle started to shift in favor of the rebels who were bolstered when they seen this sudden turn of events. He noticed that the battle was nearing a conclusion when he watched a custom colored Red Glasgow leading a Sutherland away from from the rest of the fray of battle and took to the tracks. "The pilot is exceptionally skilled to lead the Suther land and take damage from the distraction."

(Setsuna, Lelouch is about to enact his plan, prepare for battle incase we should enter the battle to give a helping hand to Lelouch.) "Roger that Exia. I'm standing by until my assistance is required." Setsuna fixed his posture and sat up straight, his eyes seemed more focused than they were previously, and his hands gripped the controls in a firm hold.

Lelouch

Lelouch hung up his cell phone as he finished giving Kallen his orders, he seen that the Knightmare rose its gun and was about to shoot at the Sutherland it had been chasing. Lelouch was about to shoot until a strange beam had shot at the Knightmares arm, which was now completely gone from the elbow down. The Knightmare looked around frantically and spotted lelouch with his gun raised, "You, did you see what happened!?" yelled out the Pilot in the Knightmare. Lelouch didn't have enough time to give the man a response, so he opened fired on the knightmare.

"What the, the rebels got a hold on one of our Knightmares! How could this be?!" yelled out Gotwald, as he fell of the train rails. Lelouch made a hasty retreat from the scene, moving to the next strategic point. 'Who the hell fired on him, where did that blast come from.' as Lelouch thought about this he set up his radar and map, then sat back brought out his phone and dialed Kallen.

Kallen had stopped in front of the railway entrance and seen the rest of the rebels on the ground as well her long time friend Ohgi. She exited from her Glascow and ran up to the acting leader "Ohgi did you get contacted by the same man who was on my radio frequency?" "Yah, he told us to move to here, and that he had a plan to help." in that moment Lelouch contacted Kallen again, she looked at her phone and seen a the name Zero on it. "Ok tell me who the hell you are and how you got this number now."

Lelouch gave a small smirk and continued what he was about to say. "Q1 I am a friend who wants to help you in your cause, in the train I provided holds the instruments to help you win your battle." Kallen looked at the train carts and told Ohgi to open one of them. "Kallen this cart is full of Knightmares!" and soon enough the other rebels called out that they found other Knightmares in the other train carts.

During the strike that Lelouch pulled together he began to feel confidant, but that was all subsided as he witnessed his own men beginning to disappear. Through the comm. chat all he got was that a new white Knightmare was out there and it was single handedly defeating his ranks. Lelouch tried to rally the men but they crumbled and tried to escape the new enemy. It was at that point Lelouch seen the new Knightmare that tore through and decimated his men, and in a blink it attacked Lelouch.

Setsuna

Setsuna Leaned back into his chair and continued to view the carnage from above the clouds. It sickened him to no end, that these Britannians would go to no end to kill anyone that they deemed to low to even consider to be actual humans. As the battle continued to wage on his anger built more, his knuckles tightening around the handles of his Gundam Exia.

"This will not go unpunished, I shall eradicate this enemy and bring about a new era of peace. For I am Setsuna F. Seiei, Gundam Meister. My existance is to eradicate war and bring peace to earth no matter what it costs me." (Setsuna, a new player has arrived on to the field, Lelouch requires our intervention.) Exia had a point, so Setsuna calmed down and began to descend from the clouds in a rapid pace.

As Suzaku seen his next target which he theorised to being the Leader seeing as how he was commanding the would be terrorists into holding their ground he made for a strike at Lelouch he was caught off guard when the ground in front of him exploded which halted his attack. "What the, who did that? Show your self!" Lelouch himself was at a loss himself, he didn't squander this opportunity and so he began to run away and make his way to Clovis and get the answers he needed.

Suzaku seen this and Began to aim his gun, then as he shot it was block from its target an instant hit shield that to him belong to a strange Knightmare frame. "Who are you?! Identify your self right now before I began to open fire at you!" Setsuna looked at the Lancelot and felt unnerved by the pilot, for to him the pilot of the Lancelot reminded him of Graham Aker from his previous battle in his own dimension. Suzaku was confidant but was a key point in what made the world continue with its senseless chaos.

Setsuna used Exia to broadcast a signal to all Knightmares and radios within the ghetto and spoke out to the people. "I am the Gundam Meister of Exia, my mission is to eradicate war. The only way I have seen this to be accomplished is to eradicate those that have made this world twisted. Those who serve Britannia shall fall along with their country, and those who are weak and oppressed by them shall have me as their guardian, and to those who wish to seek freedom from them I am your ally."

Suzaku was stunned to say the least to hear a proclamation from a random enemy that just shown up on the field, but he didn't waver, so he placed his blaster back into it back holster and brought out his swords, and then lunged at Exia. Setsuna seen this and effortlessly avoided the strike and countered with a strike from his own blade that he extended from his shield.

Suzaku caught his footing and twisted the Lancelot in time to block the strike that came from his foes own blade. The force behind it was too much for him to handle and Lancelot began to give in. So Suzaku broke out of the clash and retreated from the fight, to find that Exia was following him, and was close to catching up to him. Suzaku seen only one option for him to get away and regroup and so he placed back Lancelot's swords and brought out his blaster and began to open fire at the buildings. He was sure that it was going to slow down Setsuna's Gundam, but Exia handled it all in ease as it dodged the debris and made it through the falling buildings that was supposed to hit it.

When Exia was in close distance to slash at Lancelot it stopped, Setsuna saw in the corner of his eye that a female civilian was falling from the window of a building that Suzaku shot down in his effort to escape his pursuer. Setsuna wanted to get rid of quarry, but knew that helping the woman was morally the right thing to do. So he stopped his chase and with Exia's superior speed caught the woman in mid air. Setsuna knelt his Gundam down then placed the hand that held the woman on to the ground so as she can run as far and away from the battle.

The woman took a time to look at her savior and Setsuna saw in her the same amazement and wonder he held when one of Celestial being's Gundams came and miraculously saved him. She then turned and ran and with her exit Setsuna stood Exia back up and turned around only to find his target had vanished when he made to go and save the woman. "Everything has died down now, I will begin to regroup and hide out until I need to show myself to Lelouch."

So Setsuna lifted Exia into the sky and ascended into the clouds, and as he was doing this a light was casted upon Exia giving it an angelic look and the everyone within miles seen the Gundam ascend into the clouds and vanished.

Lelouch

Lelouch made his way out of the Knightmare and walked by the other soldier without rising there suspicions. He finally found the entrance but found that it was guarded by another soldier. Lelouch walked up to the unsuspecting man and flashed his geass at the man. "You shall leave your position and not remember that you seen me. The man dumbly nodded and walked away leaving the entrance to the entrance to Clovis's mobile palace open to just walk in. Lelouch braced himself entered the mobile palace to confront his brother Clovis fro the first time since he left the britannia family to be used as pawns in their fathers game.

He walked into the main control center and found that Clovis was by himself within a darkened room, this was the perfect setup for Lelouch. He drew the pistol that came with the soldier uniform and held it out as he made his way towards Clovis. "What the? Oh no, please lets be reasonable here. What are your demands." Lelouch smiled to himself and thought of one thing that could make sure that everyone would settle down.

"I wish for you to tell all your men to stand down, and that each and every life taken today will be treated fairly without prejudice." Clovis looked at his assailant and reached for his communicator. He gave out the order to tell his soldiers to stand down and that the lives taken today would be treated the same. With that finished he sat back down and looked at the mystery man. "There, you got what you want, so is there anything else you want?"

Lelouch chuckled and with ease removed his Helmet "Clovis, I am shocked that you would forget me after so long." The voice sounded familiar to Clovis and as he caught the face of who his capture is. "It is I Lelouch Vi Britannia, the long lost prince of the holy Britannian empire." As Lelouch said this he bowed before Clovis and then returned to his previous position. Clovis on his part was feeling a mixture of shock, relief, surprise, and most of all confusion. Confusion as to why his brother shown himself now when he had been alive all this time and the fact he was holding a gun up to his face.

"Le..Lelouch, is that really you. This is amazing, you don't know how much I and the others have missed you." Lelouch was surprised by how Clovis just reacted to his revel and so he cut the pleasantries and used his new found geass powers to finally get the answers he so wanted. "Tell me Clovis, were you involved in the murder of my mother?"

"Wha... no Lelouch, when we found out what happened we were in great shock as well."

"Wait, We? Who else was there?" Lelouch's confusion shone clearly to his brother.

"Cornelia and Schneizel, they both headed the investigation for your mother's murder, but none more so than Cornelia."

"So Both Cornelia and Schneizel were involved in the investigation of my mother's death. Very well thank you for the information Clovis, but now I must dispose of you." Lelouch raised his gun and with certainty pulled the trigger. The bullet went through Clovis's head and as brain matter and blood fell on to Lelouch, the young man began to finally figure out what he had actually done. His hand began to shake and so he threw away the gun. He felt the bile begin to rise up his throat, but Lelouch held it in and forced the bile back down his throat which left a burning sensation and a god awful taste in his mouth.

He turned to see Clovis's dead body and felt some remorse in killing one of his more friendlier siblings. He shook the feeling off quick though knowing that someone soon will come up to the deck and see what had happened to the viceroy of area 11. Lelouch made a quick exit and fled the area.

Setsuna

Setsuna began to descend Exia back towards their hide away. When he tucked away Exia Setsuna began to make his way towards Ashford Academy, where he new he will run into Lelouch, and initiate the next phase in the plan. He looked up towards the sky and for a brief moment it reminded him of the first time he made his appearance and revealed to the world Celestial Beings existence.

In a soft vacant tone Setsuna spoke,"We will make this corrupted world a better place. I promise you Lockon."

Well Boys and girls, I know this was a seriously long wait for a single chapter, but I do have an excuse. I lost my drive and passion for Fanfiction, well actually just anime and cartoon stuff seeing as there is hardly anything good on anymore, but I began to imagine again and my imagination made me have this drive once more to try this again. Well guys all I have to say is R&R

If you don't Review then I'm gonna shoot a Kittin, two puppies, three ice cubes, a pair of really nice running shorts, and a polar bear... and your game boy

Let the light Guide you to a better world This is Shadow 00 Exia Soaring for a better world.
