Chapter 10 Cornelia Attack

Claim Your Weapons by Christain Reindl

Ashford Academy (Alex's Room)

It was a calm day at Ashford but quiet as something things were happening a lot. First, an Angel Knightmare fighting against the empire. Second, Zero rising up from people and now the EU is starting to fight back too with other areas doing the same as well. Finally, word has been going around of Cornelia and her forces are in Saitama Ghetto, staging the same thing like what happened with the last ghetto and draw the masked man himself out in the open.

Alex wasn't sure if this was the right course of action and couldn't tell if his older sister would attack the Saitama like Clovis did in Shinjuku but knows that the people won't support this or allow to happen, not after he showed the truth and made a big change to the whole world. It was a strong start and the young man wasn't finished.

Just before the mix-haired teen could think of anything, his phone ringed and got his attention. He picks his phone up, seeing it was from the EU, and put the blocker on to make sure this call was private and not hacked.

He then answered, "Yes."

"You saw the news?" Esdeath asked from the other end.

"Yeah, I did and know what Cornelia has planned. She wants to flush me out," Alex replied, knowing what his older-half sister was planing as he would have done the same in facing a foe that is new to him. He would flush them out in a trap after knowing their motives and tricks. Common military traits.

"You should not face her, it's too early and you are not ready to face an enemy like that," Esdeath warned, knowing from her battles in the EU against the empire and want they can do.

"I know. This battle would be my hardest and way different from my last battle, high-tier now. Cornelia is a general that has won battles against the enemy of the empire and would think that Zero is a fool with a mask and cape with no plan what so ever. I don't know what her plan is to draw me out and bring the ghetto down as Clovis did or just get me down the crossfire," The young man admitted.

"Indeed. Lelia has shared my reasons to not fight Cornelia and request that you wait a month or two for the supplies to come. Anna says that the Knightmares we have built for testing and added help from India top Knightmare builder to make your Seventh Knightmare Frame should be ready by then," The general informed.

Alex smiled at that information, the Knightmare and his Seventh Knightmare Frame in the works, not the request to not fight Cornelia. He has little choice in the matter and would need to fight his older sister if he wants to face corruption that is hitting the world's throat like cancer and empire down to a new world.

Zero must take the challage and not let people down as Britannian and Japanese in Area Eleven (Japan) to other different areas are starting to change around and become more human. Of course, some like corrupted, power-hungry, or pure Britannians don't care and would kill the other, however, the people are really supporting the Masked Man and the truth he showed to the world. He can't let them down or stop, he can't and won't stop now.

"Esdeath, I understand yours and Lelia request to not fight and great work of Knightmares coming in. However, I can't allow another massacre to happen again or let people down, not when I have started and people are looking up to Zero. I can't nor won't back down from this challage. I will fight Cornelia as I have a plan in mind to tip the scales in my favor," Alex said, having his voice being steel and reasons like he was willing to take the whole world for his goals and make a world where everyone can be happy in.

Esdeath was quite on her end but smiled and was proud that she picked Alex to her other half in life, very much so and looks foward to their next future encounter.

"I admired your goals, Alex. Very well, I will allow this and look foward to your plan taking action," Esdeath said, her voice having a certain flair and spark that the young man knows.

"That's all I ask and I don't plan on losing," Alex said.

"Is that pride?"

"It's not. It's, fact."

"Hmm, good luck, my love."

"Will do."

And with that, the pair hanged up.

"You seem to be a busy man, Alex," A certain vixen spoke, being C.C. herself who hugged the young man behind and he didn't react to her as his mind was set in.

"Indeed I am, C.C. and I'm going to need your help with Kallen and Sayoko as well," Alex said, having a great plan in mind.

"What kind of help?" The lime-haired woman asked.

"No spoilers, my dear witch," The mix-haired teen teased with a smirk, getting the woman behind him to pout cutely at that.

Alex or Zero has a great plan in mind and would be a great surprise for Goddess of Victory to taste.

Time Skip

Saitama Ghetto

In the ghetto at an old building, we see Alex in his Zero outfit without his mask who sighed to himself and carried a guitar case for some reason. He knows that this battle might be his hardest battle yet and be way different than his one against Clovis, high-tier. Cornelia is a general that has won a lot of battles and fought tooth to nail for many areas to become part of the empire, ending territories before they become a problem.

Alex was in for it and would be a big challenge but he wasn't going to give out and this fight could help him get a taste of what the empire has in store for him, but the first relaxation a bit before the battle as he grabbed a guitar and start to play a song. [1]

Alex used to love playing music as his mother would teach him how to play on the piano before the guitar. He even had done this in Japan before the war and later to help calm his sister when at night was hard. He sometimes will play to help calm his mind off of things or something big is going to happen, like this battle to draw him out and is a losing one.

However, Alex won't back down or give up, not now or ever. He didn't have to win the battle against Cornelia and her forces. No, the young man had a new plan in mind that his inner circle is helping him with and it could work to get a ground feeling of what foes he might face in the future. And bring his building army up to great height.

After stopping his music and put the guitar away, Alex soon placed his mask on, click in place, and was now ready for the battle but first must wait for his move to be placed into motion.

"Your move, Cornelia," Zero said, seeing the G-1 transport at the edge of the ghetto and walked into the building for his ride to come to him.

G-1

Cornelia sat on her throne as the transport parked at the edge of the ghetto and waited for her forces to be set in place in the whole area. Of course, she plans on attacking the ghetto to flush out Zero but good reasons and good points made into light.

After coming to Area Eleven, taking care of the faction that dares attack her sister, her sister's new knight be trained by the Knight of 12 and her two followers, trying to find what Clovis was hiding, and take care of the problem in the area like terrorists that rebels or throw a fit like kids in the sandbox. Cornelia has planed to draw out Zero, knowing he won't back out from a challenge to protect the people from the first showing showed and see what this fool in a mask has a plan which she doesn't believe he has a plan to stop her.

Cornelia had made counter plans for this, knowing that Zero would come and kill her as he did with Clovis for ordering the kill order to the ghetto but she won't do that, just false information to get the Masked Man's attention. She knows that blood is on her hands but won't kill for no reason to hide something that her dead brother was hiding and will find out what as she orders her knights to turn the place upside down to find out. So far no luck but it's only a matter of time and now the battle begins as her forces move out.

With Zero

After requiring a Sutherland by using his Geass and had the soldier wander around outside the city, Alex was in his Knightmare and decided to call his allies with his ratio.

"Q-1, how are we looking out?" Alex asked as he took his mask off and slide off his black ninja that covered his lower face.

"We are doing good here, Zero. The transport is on its way and has fallen the trap. We should be finished within the hour," Kallen replied, through the other side of the radio.

"Very good, Kallen. Have C.C., Sayoko, and yourself ready to leave when the storm comes down on us," He said, knowing once his plans come into motion.

"Will do Alex. You think the group would follow your orders and join us?" The redhead asked, remembering the talk the four had.

Alex hummed and said, "No, they won't. They would either give up when things hit the show and are killed off or run away which leads to the same outcome. That's why some of them acting in the front lines while my counter plans are the main move against Cornelia. The rest would move the civilians out of the ghetto in the old underground train railroads. It's old and hasn't be used in years, so they would be fine."

Kallen nodded her head, understanding what her now-boyfriend was saying. She is still getting used to being with someone and sharing him with other girls which she had a feeling that she will have to get used to it.

"Agree. Is there anything you want us to do," Kallen asked, making sure nothing is left out or be on the battlefield.

"No, everything is all set. Finish up the mission and I would meet you all at the next location," Alex said before setting his Knightmare up and get ready for the battle ahead of him.

"Will do, and good luck Alex."

"Thanks, Kallen, and will do."

With that said and done, Alex grabbed the next radio and started to set his attack plan to his allies which are ten men that he give them Sutherlands, Knightmares that he took. He planed his attack plan and now the battle starts.

Battle Theme: Get Off My Back by Bryan Adams

"P-1 through 4, start the attack plan as we talk about," Alex ordered, having four Sutherlands move and open fired onto the tanks and other Knightmares that fall into a trap.

The four were hiding in a building and waited for the Britannias troopers to come in which they open fired and took every single one of them out. All in one move.

Alex then looked at the screen to see a wave of Britannias soldiers on the bridge which was a big mistake and would show them why. He brought up a trigger before pushing the red button, activating the bombs that were placed and blow the whole bridge. This cut the supplies off and leaves the enemy forces with no support from the afar.

"R-1, K-Group cut the enemy enforcement here and regroup with P-Group for the next part of the plan," The mix-haired teen ordered, having the men doing what they were told.

R-1 and K-Group had destroyed the enemy tanks and helicopters before blasting a Sutherland apart with their battle rifles. They then regrouped with the rest of their allies into the underground railroads.

Alex then looked at a hacker and saw that he was in the clear which he knows to take his plan in the second stage. He knows that this fight wasn't over and won't let victory get to his head as he knows that Cornelia would send in her knights that pilot the Knightmares is known has Gloucesters and they outclass a good number of Knightmares. The white one from Shinjuku and some others could match the Gloucesters in a straight fight but the EU's had a better chance. The young man had a plan for that later on down the road, but now it was time to get the next part of his plan ready.

G-1 (With Cornelia)

The Goddess of Victory had seen this move coming but would be honest that she didn't expect much of a fight and was a little disappointed. No signs of Zero around or coming here to the G-1 transports. She hummed in the thought of the next move but had a push that thought aside as she had her knight Guildford and a good number of top men head out to clean up the mess.

"My lady, someone to trying to contact us," A trooper said by the commotion comms area.

"Who?" Cornelia asked.

"I don't know but it seems to be recorded for some reason and...," The trooper said but never got to finished when a new voice spoke over and got everyone on edge.

"The original comms line is off, right? It was easy to hack the empire's comms these days," A metallic voice spoke, being the Masked Man himself, Zero.

Alex had put his mask on as it had a voice changer and started to get his next orders with a coded text message to his allies underground. The next part of the plan starts and shows what he can do.

"Zero," Cornelia said with a low glow in her voice, wanting to put a bullet in that fool's skull for killing her brother. She may dislike Clovis's actions and would find out the truth but he was still her brother and would draw blood.

"Ah, my dear Goddess. It's a shame that I can't see you and your beauty on screen or in person," Zero admitted which shocked most of the men and the Second Princess the most.

"Beauty?" She tested, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes and loveness. The reports say that you come in like a Goddess of War and Victory is very true due to your voice sounding like war and beauty itself, truly a goddess in the making. I wish I can see it and you in person," The masked man admitted.

Was Zero flirting with Cornelia? It was the only through that men could think of and couldn't believe before their eyes.

To Cornelia's surprise, she felt very relaxed and refreshing for some reason by this as it never happened before.

"Oh really, a goddess, huh? I wonder what's true for you, Zero? A masked man that hides in the shadows or a crazy person that thinks he can take on the empire with truth and ideas?" Cornelia asked, flirting back to Zero to everyone's surprise.

Zero chucked at that and said, "I quite imagine that some would say that and might change, my dear goddess. People believe what they believe and truths sometimes are mixed up by those that are corrupted, but I don't. Sure would I use tricks of course, but I will never harm the people and bring civilians into my battles. Which I could ask you the same thing about shredding civilian blood?"

"Interesting and no, I have no attention to bring in civilians that live in this ghetto into battle or kill them for living here. I may have some blood on my hands but I won't step down that low and keep my men in line," Cornelia replied, making Zero clapping his hands.

"Good. And by the way, haven't you notice that we have the battle to finish as some elements are going off," Zero reminded which caused one of the men to report.

"Your highness, Lord Guildford and his men have been attacked," He reported.

"What?" Cornelia asked at this.

"It was a trap, land miles that blow up underneath and a ruined building almost fall on them but have gotten away in time. Lord Guildford says that he and his men are fine but their Knightmares have some damage on them and some would need repairs right away."

Cornelia hummed in thought and wonder how could Zero send orders in while talking her. Then it hit her and found the answer.

"You have been giving messages to your men during our talk?" Cornelia guessed, no knows it was true.

"Very much so and would comment that your Knights would have won the battle in a straight-up attack against my growing-building army. You have better equipment, men that fought wars against the empire's enemy long enough, Knightmares that can trash up mine within seconds and have good counters. This is not a war but mainly a sandbox fight between two people and knowing their moves," Zero explained.

Cornelia admitted that Zero's words were true and can tell that he had won this fight as she has no idea where he is or his main mission in this fight. Their war is on for sure and this fight goes to the Masked Man's favor.

The Second Princess can tell that if this fight would keep ongoing, it would be one-sided and Zero has the edge as he seems to be a military genius to great plans and counter plans. His flirting and being honest to her was very relaxing and refreshing which makes her calm and throws back at him. This has never happened before in her fight against the numbers.

Cornelia can tell that Zero is not a fool in costume but a tactical leader and someone that is willing to stand up for others. He has earned the Goddess's respects which never happened before.

"You're highness, our supply has been stolen," Another trooper said, giving another bad news.

Cornelia glared at the man and give a look that says explain or die.

"W-we just got the news but it seems that everything was stolen before the battle started and our men are either dead or knock by some gas attack."

"My apologies on that, but I needed some new toys to play with and yours were around for me to take, my dear goddess. My thanks and hope we meet again for our next dance, take care," Zero said, ending the call and leave a princess with mixed feelings of this day.

With Zero (Alex)

"My apologies on that but I needed some new toys to play with and yours were around for me to take, my dear goddess. My thanks and hope we meet again for our next dance, take care," Zero said as he ended the call, being unaware that he left a princess with mixed feelings of this day.

Alex sighed before taking his mask off and climbed out of the Sutherland that was parked underground before being loaded up in the trailer.

Alex then saw C.C., Kallen, and Sayoko having the last of trucks all done.

"Great work," Alex said, seeing a great job well done.

"Thank you, Master Alex. The Knightmares are be transported to the workshop as we speak and everything to cover our tracks have been taken care of," Sayoko said.

"Good, very good. I would have to ship a few of them to our allies in the EU and see what new toys they can make for us," The mix-haired teen said, knowing what his new friends could do if they get their hands on the Knightmares.

"What's next?" Kallen asked.

"Nothing much now but we will keep our heads down until the time is right to reveal as a group in a hole to the world. I got a few ideas but would save that for another day. First, let's head on home as we have school tomorrow and the Cat party would come around the next day," Alex informed, making the redhead groan as she knows that she would have to take part of Milly's acts again, that woman is such a pervert these days.

"It won't be all bad," C.C. commented with a smirk.

"You just want the pizza," Kallen said.

"I don't know what you are talking about," The lime-haired girl said with a smirk and stick her tongue out in a playful manner, getting Kallen to glare at her.

Alex sighed a bit and know that tomorrow was going to be a long day at school for sure.

But before any of them can leave they all heard explosions which got them all confused at this.

"Did anyone resume the attack?" Alex asked, looking at Kallen.

Kallen just got done with talking over her radio before looking at Alex and shook her head no telling him that no one has resumed the attack. This made Alex frown at this and was thinking about who was attacking the Britannian.

G-1

Back in the transport where Cornelia was on her throne as she saw her troops running around as they were being attacked again.

"What is going on?" Cornelia demanded

"We're being attack by an unknown fighter in the mountain area!" the man said.

Cornelia looked at him. "Give me a visually now!"

The soldier did on what he told and showed Cornelia the visually of the fighter but the fighter made her eyes widen as she saw the similar angel wings on the fighter.

"It's him!?" Cornelia thought.

Mountain Area (The Wings of a Boy that Killed Adolescence ost and don't own this song)

The fighter or known as the Neo Bird was color in blue, white with some red and gold mixed in but the true name of this fighter is called the Wing Gundam Angel or Wing Angel for short as this machine was not from this world as it came from another dimension from a freak accident. Now the Gundam tore through Britannian's defense's and finally transformed into its mobile suit form as it stood of a height of 16.7 meters towering the Knightmares in height.

Wing Angel aimed its Twin Buster Rifle at a group of Sutherlands fire a tsunami of golden-yellow hellfire which it consume 6 Sutherlands destroying the Sutherlands and killing the pilots. Wing Angel turn around and it's Beam Energy Machine Cannons that were in its shoulders and release its payload on two other Sutherlands as they were ripped apart by green energy bullets and killing the pilots. Wing Angel then took out its Beam Saber as it was ignited as an emerald blade and charged towards the other Sutherlands as the Gundam was slicing up any Knightmare to pieces making sure it killed the pilots before they escape.

Song End

Wing Angel then turn around and used its shield to block an attack from two Maser Vibration Swords or MVS that was wielded by the Lancelot. Wing Angel push Lancelot back as Shizuka got the Lancelot to land on is feet and now she was staring at the Wing Angel. Shizuka just stare at the machine as she sweated a little bit as she just witness a massacre from this unknown Knightmare that was bigger than the Lancelot or any other Knightmare as the said machine still move around with just grace.

She was given orders to capture the machine or AT least get one of the weapons from it so they can study it and find out on who made it and why it far beyond their technology. Shizuka used the Slash Harken from the Lancelot as the Slash Harken wrapped around the Wing Angel so it can't move its arm but to her surprise she saw the machine breaking the cables with great strength.

'No fucking way?' Shizuka thought in surprise after what she has just witness.

Then she was caught off guard as the machine charged toward her and bashes the Lancelot with its shield and pushing her machine off to the side.

"What power and strength? No Knightmare has this type of power and strength from Camelot or any other factory?" Shizuka said to herself.

Then Shizuka's eyes widen as the said machine was already in front of her with its emerald sword ready to cut her Lancelot. She try to dodge but she wasn't fast enough as the Beam Saber cut off the Lancelot's right arm like a hot knife through butter. But Wing Angel wasn't done as it kicked the Lancelot with great force as it made a dent on the side of its armor making the Lancelot tumble on the ground a bit damaging it some more as it came to a halt.

Shizuka groan as she rubs her head but an alert from the Lancelot told her a huge energy build up and she saw the Wing Angel aiming it's rifle at her as she saw the barrels at the end of the rifle glowing as she knew that she was going to die.

'I'm sorry Alex that I won't be able to give my V-card!' Shizuka thought as she waited death.

But death didn't happen as she open her eyes and saw Wing Angel took off and transform into its fighter form and took off to the distance as she sigh at this as she press an SOS button for them to pick her up.

Next Day

Ashford Academy

Alex was now sitting down by his desk with a frown on his face as the Angel Knightmare appeared here in Japan and attack Britannian forces and almost killed Shizuka but it didn't. He looked to his left and saw Shizuka with a small bandage patch on her right cheek as he knew that she took minor injuries on her body. Class started as the teacher came in and put her book down and looked at her students in her room.

"Attention everyone we have three new transfer students attending today!" she said.

Students were murmuring each other while Alex raised an eyebrow at this as he saw the teacher turning toward the door.

"You three can come in now." The teacher called out.

With this the door open as the male students were blushing and were already rock hard as the female students blush at well as the three new student were two girls and one male. The male student has dark brown hair and Prussian blue eyes as he has a body of an athlete. The female student has blonde hair that was tied into two pig-tails that reached to her knees as she has blue eyes as she has H-Cup breasts and a nice bubbly/tight ass but the noticeable feature on she were the three scar marks on her cheeks as they looked like whiskers as she wore the female uniform nicely as she wore white high-thigh socks. The Second girl has long black hair with a tint of blue in it as she has black eyes as she has the same figure as the blonde girl with the same breasts size and same ass but she wore pair of black stockings.

"Can you three introduce yourselves?" the teacher said.

"My name is Joseph Yuy Peacecraft! It a pleasure to meet you all." The male teen introduces himself to the class.

"The name is Naruko Namikaze Uzumaki! Hope we get along." The blonde girl introduces herself with a cheerful voice. (Naruko will look like Mirei Shikishima from Valkyrie Drive Mermaid but without the red eyes)

"My name is Satsuki Uchiha! It's an honor." The Black haired girl introduces herself. (Satsuki will look like Kasumi Shigure from Valkyrie Drive Mermaid but without the glasses and not the short hair)

Things are about to get interesting in Ashford Academy and in Japan.
