Here is the next chapter! The legendary Guren VS the unfathomable Shinkiro!

Yes, I've made Gino an asshole in this fanfic. I thought, "Hey, what if Gino had a bad side? That would be interest since he's always so nice." That is why Gino is an asshole… Enjoy! :)

"Just sit back and watch, Nikolai. This'll an interesting fight." Gino smirks evilly inside the cockpit. He ejects the USB flash drive, turning off the Tristan, and kicks his feet up and lays back to enjoy the little "show" he's put on.

"Alright, bastard, time to go down!" Kallen pressed some controls, and the Guren's claw launched towards the Shinkiro.

Lelouch had to react. And fast! Any second, the lethal claw will turn him and his Knightmare to ash. He hurriedly typed in calculations onto his keyboard, and the shield appeared around his Knightmare. Regrettably, the claw already reached him. Fortunately, it grabbed the left arm instead of the torso, head, or legs. Kallen flipped open a cover to a button. She pressed it, and radiation surged through the wired to the claw and into the limb. Lelouch quickly detached the arm and flew into the air.

"Humph! Wanna play cat n mouse, huh?"

She flew after him. As soon as she caught up with him, she fires her Energy Wing 'bullets' at him. Lelouch was under much heavy firing. He's struggling to bring the shields up due to the blasts at Shinkiro. Finally, he got them up.

"Tch! I can blast right through that wimpy shield!"

Kallen started charging the claw. While charging, Lelouch is doing all he can to strengthen his defenses. After fully charging, she pressed a button, and the Guren fired a full blast of its Radiant Wave Surger at him. Lelouch struggles to keep the shields up. After the blast, the Shinkiro still remains afloat, but has little power left.

Lelouch fires his Hadron Cannons on the Shinkiro's wrists, which requires little power. The Guren dodges all of them, and it proceeds to race towards the Shinkiro. The claw locks onto it. The Guren emits its Radiant Wave Surger into the unfortunate Knightmare. Knowing what is going to happen, Lelouch ejects his cockpit, he but barely made it with his life.

The Shinkiro explodes in front of the cockpit, causing the cockpit to frenzy and plummet 150 feet. Luckily, the cockpit fell into a patch of trees, but it still catches on fire. Lelouch crawls out of it for safety. His head is bleeding, and his vision is getting fuzzy. It explodes. Lelouch put his hands over his head to protect it. He was far away enough for the blast not to kill him, but the flying shrapnel cut down a tree near him. The tree fell on his torso, almost smothering him.

"Yes! I'VE DEFEATED LEOUCH VI BRITANNIA! YES!" Gino maniacally screams in triumph.

The nanobots last only for 30 hours before dying off. Kallen resumes back to her normal self. 'Huh? What happened? All I remember was that Gino tresspa-GINO!' She looks at the scene. There was a fire to her left side and Gino and his 'accomplice' to the right. She looked around again. 'Something's not right. Where's Lelouch?' She panicked and scoured the whole battlefield. Then she figured out the answer. "Oh my God, he's in the fire!"

Kallen brought the Guren down near the fire. She got out of the cockpit and started shouting for him. "Lelouch! Lelouch!" Kallen finally found him pinned under a tree. She tried to lift the tree off of him, but it was no use. "Damn it!" she cursed, pounding at the trunk. Then an idea popped up. She got back into her Guren and lifted the tree off of him. She got out again and ran to him. Kallen got down on her knees cradled him in her arms once more…but for the last time.

"Kallen? Is that you? Are you back to normal?" Lelouch asked very weakly.

She holds her hand in his. His body was ice cold. "Yes, it's me," she said. She was crying. Her voice cracks every time she says a word. "Don't worry I'll get you to a doctor in-"

"No…" he protested.

"What do you mean 'no'?"

"I mean I'm not gonna make it this time. I'm sorry…"

"Yes, you are! You're gonna become a dad and grow old and have grandchildren!" *sniffle* "Please don't go!" she begged.

"I'm sorry I have to go so early. Just-just promise me to take care of our child and live on."

She sniffles again. "Nooo! Pleeeeeease! Don't go, Lelouch! I need you!... I love you!"

"I love you, too…Kallen. I'm sorry it has to end this way… Good…bye…" His hand fell out of her grip as the life left his body.

Kallen's wails of crying echoed through the night. She's never cried so much in her life. She kissed his lips one last time. They were cold…

She laid his body back down and stood up. "I'm coming for you, Gino. You'll never be forgiven for what you've done!"

Lelouch dies! :'((( Is this the end of Gino? O.O Find out next time!
