I do not own Code Geass or Gurren Lagann

Kittan, Kidd, and Iraak, were all waiting in the crowd as the vehicle transporting Suzaku was going down the street. Jeremiah was at the front standing outside his knightmare's cockpit for all to see. Kamina's plan to rescue him was mental, but they had trusted him this far. Kamina would roll up in the Gurren Lagann 2 and announce himself as the mighty Kamina. Then he would take out the Knightmare's guarding Suzaku and the others would spring him during the fighting.

"Everyone in place," said Kamina over the communicator in Gurren Lagann 2.

"Yeah were ready." Kittan knew this was crazy. Even if they spring Suzaku there will be reinforcement in no time. This seemed like yet another suicide mission when suddenly the transport stopped before it was supposed to. "Kamina the transport stopped."

"What?" said Kamina out loud over the communicator. "Why the hell would they stop?" Kamina switched his front monitor to see the news footage. Leeron had set it up so Gurren Lagann 2 could see television broadcasts.

News Footage

"This is not a scheduled stop" said the TV reporter. "Could there have been some kind of accident. Wait, there is some kind of vehicle heading towards them. I-Its prince Clovis's personal transport."

Kamina was confused. "Do you guys know anything about this?"

"Don't look at me." Said Kittan.

"I ain't heard nothing about this," said Kidd.

Suddenly the vehicle stopped in front of the transport and the flag on the front burned away revealing a man standing in some kind of black cape that covered the front as well as the back. He had a mask on that was completely black except for a violet circle in the middle.

"I am Zero." Said the man in black. His voice was slightly metallic, likely to disguise his voice.

"Zero?" said Kamina with confusion. "So what, this guy's nothing?"

"I've seen enough Zero." Said Jeremiah at the front of the transport. "This little show is over." Jeremiah fired a shot from his pistol and four other Knightmares fell from the sky around the vehicle. "First things first. Why don't you lose that mask?"

Zero looks as if he were about to remove his mask when he snapped his fingers causing the back of the vehicle to fall apart revealing some kind of strange container. Jeremiah and the rest of the Britannian soldiers looked worried.

Kamina inside Gurren Lagann 2

"You guys know what that is?" Asked Kamina.

"I think I do." Said Kittan. "One of the rebels said something about it when we gave them shelter. It's a container of poison gas."

"WHAT!" yelled Kamina. He never figured that the rebels would be desperate enough to use gas to beat Britannia. This was low by any standers. "Everyone get out of there NOW!"

"But what about you?" asked Kittan. "The plan just went down the drain."

"Forget plans," said Kamina as he started Gurren Lagann 2. "I'll just figure it out when I get there."

Kittan, Kidd, and Iraak all started to make their way through the crowd and away from the container. Kamina continued to watch. He hated that this Zero guy was willing to do something like this to win. Kamina started to head down towards where everything was happening.

With Zero

"Fine." Said Jeremiah grudgingly. "What are your demands?"

"An exchange." Said Zero. "This for Kururugi."

"Like Hell." Said Jeremiah. It was obvious he would not easily give up his scapegoat. "This man went under the codename Kamina and murdered a prince. I can't just hand him over."

"No your mistaken Jeremiah." Said Zero as a man with a camera walked up to get a better close-up shot of Zero who in turn looked straight into the camera. "The man who killed Clovis was me."

"So then your Kamina?" asked Jeremiah with shock.

"No I am Zero." replied Zero.

"Then who-,"

"JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?" came a loud voice from down the road. A red Knightmare with sun glasses roll up on the group. Suddenly the cockpit opened and out came this man with a cape, sunglasses and spikey hair. "Listen and learn. Far beyond the farthest horizon I fight the Britannian oppressors. When they speak of the man who beat a Knightmare for every star in the sky their talking about me. The mighty Kamina, leader of team Dai-Gurren."

"Not only has the real assassin appeared, but the infamous Kamina as well." Said the news reporter. "So where does this leave Kururugi?"

"For a single Eleven you'll save scores of precious Britannians." Said Zero not even flustered by Kamina's appearance.

"OW COME ON!" yelled Kamina. "I'LL JUST KICK THEIR ASSES AND TAKE SUZAKU MYSELF!."

"No," hollered Zero. "A fight here would be meaningless, I can end this with no blood shed."

"You're kidding right? Real men don't think, they act!" Yelled Kamina.

"Then watch Kamina, if I should fail then do as you wish."

Kamina figured he had little to lose. No to mention that he was pretty much a hostage to because he was so close to the gas container. Kamina sat back into Gurren Lagann 2 and waited to see what would unfold.

"He's mad." Yelled Jeremiah. "Disguising this truck to look like his highnesses. He'll pay the price for mocking the crown." Suddenly all the knightmares were taking aim at both Zero and Kamina.

"Careful," said Zero. "You don't wish the public to learn about orange."

The soldier's looked confused, as was Kamina who sat bored in his cockpit. "What the heck is orange? Some kind of drug." Kamina thought to himself.

The truck started to move forward. Closer to Jeremiah and Suzaku. "If I die it will all go public." Said Zero. "If you don't want that to happen you do everything in your power to let us go. Suzaku as well"

"This guy has to be nuts?" Kamina thought to himself. "Like this guy is really going to just let us go and…"

"Right understood." Said Jeremiah causing Kamina to rise to the edge of his seat. "Release the prisoner."

"Was this really happening? How did this guy make this happen? These questions and more were rolling around Kamina's head. After everything he heard about Jeremiah, he never thought he would let the kid go.

Jeremiah continued to argue with his subordination, but Suzaku was freed and began walking towards Zero, and Zero began walking towards Suzaku.

"It's time to go Zero," said the truck driver who Kamina recognized as Kallen.

"Well, until next time." Zero pushed a button on a device he was holding and the container began to open. Purple smoke began to come out.

Kamina POV

"Dame you Zero," said Kamina. I can't believe you would…"

"Kamina wait," said Leeon over the communicator. "I'm not detecting anything toxic it's just colored smoke."

"Oh, so that's what he was doing." Said Kamina now getting that Zero never intended to kill anyone. "That guy is smart, I need to get him into team Dai-Gurren." Suddnely he saw Zero, Kallen, and Suzaku jump off the bridge. Kamina rushed over to see what was happening when he a knightmare shoot an awning which the others landed in. then they fell into a truck and sped away.

"Whoa that guy is really good." Suddenly a Britannian Knightmare began shooting at Gurren Lagann 2 Kamina reversed the landspinner and avoided the fire. Kamina then turned and went straight toward the attacking Knightmare. Kamina drew his Maser Vibration sword and slashed the Knightmares hands off. Two more Knightmares charged at Kamina and opened fire. Kamina used the Blaze Luminous Shield to deflect the attacks, and was about to counter attack when Jeremiah intercepted the shooting Knightmares.

"Did you not hear me?" said Jeremiah. "Do everything in your power to help them get away."

Kamina wanted to stay and fight but he had learned that there was a time to fight and a time to flee. Besides he wanted to catch up with this Zero guy. He could be just what team Dai-Gurren needs.

Kamina managed to track the truck thanks to Zorthy hacking local security cameras. Kamina arrived at some kind of an abandoned supermarket. He exited the Gurren Lagann 2 grabbed his sword and started to walk when he saw Suzaku leaving out a large hole in the side of the building. "Where are you going?"

"Back to the Britannians." Said Suzaku.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" yelled Kamina. He grabbed Suzaku by his collar and pulled him up almost off his feet. "Those guys just tried to kill you for things me and Zero did and you're going back."

"If I don't they'll start killing civilians and honorary Brittanians. Suzaku said without any expression in his face of fear or hate. "It's the right thing to do."

"LIKE HELL, THOSE GUYS WILL KILL PEOPLE ANYWAY."

"But by doing this I can prevent at least some of those deaths."

"You'd prevent a lot more by fighting those bastards."

"I fight to bring order. Not destroy it."

Kamina put Suzaku down and let him leave. "I don't get it. Not one bit."

Kamina continued into the ruined building to see Zero standing on a mound of ruble. "You must be Zero."

"Yes and you must be Kamina, I glad we got to meet. I wanted to thank you for saving me back in Shinjuko."

"I saved you back there?"

"Yes do you not recall the Sutherland you saved from the white Knightmare?"

Kamina put his hand on his chin and tried to think. "Sorry can't say that I do. But the reason I came here was to see if you wanted to join team Dai-Gurren. With you we might have a chance after all. Though it would mean you have to ditch that mask of your."

"Thanks for the invite but I have my own plans," said Zero.

This was surprising, first that Suzaku kid walks off to return to his executioners and now this person was refusing to join his team.

"Oh come on." Said Kamina determined to get this man to join him at any cost. "I don't usually trust a guy who hides his face and name. But you've shown you hate Britannia and can take action why not work together?"

"Because you are a fool," Zeros statement sent a shock through Kamina.

"What makes you say that?" Kamina asked. He had been called a fool plenty of times before but that was by enemies. He came to recruit Zero not make enemies.

"You are a fool who believes that strength alone will bring change. You fight without reason or even a solid goal. That alone proves you are a fool." Kamina had been insulted before, but something about the way this guy talked just seemed to stack a nail in his heart. "I have no doubt we will work together, but first I have some things I need to prepare. And you need to prove you resolve, not only to me but to the world." Zero jumped off the ruble and headed in the opposite direction. "You can't win this war alone."

"What does that mean?" asked Kamina, but Zero was already gone. This made no sense to him, he wasn't alone he had Kittan, Kidd, Iraak, and the other member of team Dai-Gurren. Kamina was confused. He thought he would be leaving with two new member for team Dai-Gurren and instead is leaving with nothing.

Dock warehouse

Kittan and the other had made it back to the hideout and were sitting in a circle conversing.

"Do you think Kamina is all right?" asked Kittan.

"I don't know." Said Kidd. "Maybe that Zero guy killed him."

"Please," said Iraak. "If Zero was dumb enough to fight Kamina it's more than likely that Zero's dead."

"I would not be so sure." Said Makken. "We do not know what Zero is capable of."

"Just who the hell do you think I am," said Kamina's easily recognizable voice from right outside. The group ran outside to see the Gurren Lagann 2 and Kamina claiming down. "I though you guys had more faith in me than that."

The group surrounded Kamina like a mob and started asking question after question. Kamina raised his hand and they all stopped. "I've had a rough night. I'm going to sleep." Kamina began walking to the door when Kittanran in front of him making Kamina stop.

"Come on!" Yelled Kittan. "At least tell us what happened with Suzaku and Zero."

"I don't get it. Not one bit." Those were Kamina's only words before he walked around Kittan and back into the hideout.
