N2

Disclaimer: Naruto owns Kishimoto, Code Geass owns Sunrise…. Wait what?

AN: Sorry for the delay as of now I'm doing a rotation of all my stories so expect at least a bi weekly update. Rotation is currently N2, The Fifth, Satsujin, Ashes to Ashes with Faith a bit on hold due to some difficulty with creating my own original arc and how to portray one of the characters I'm adding to the group then Ningen getting updated every now and then.

As for the whole Chakra bit I've made up my mind Naruto will get his chakra back but it won't be immediate he will gradually get it back but its full capabilities won't return until a certain event in the future.

And yes that would mean we'll see Naruto owning some mooks in Knightmares but I'll get to that later and really even with Chakra the fact that 7th generation plus knightmares can fly up really high in the air already places the Blonde in a disadvantage so he'll really be battling more in his knightmare frame than throwing Jutsus… but it doesn't mean he can't try :P.

ANN: This chapter is mostly canon with a few changes.

ANNN: I already have D3men as a Beta for Ashes and Ashes and The Fifth. I'm still looking for Beta Readers for Satsujin, N2, and probably Ningen PM me if anyones interested.

Pairings: Naruto x CC x Harem (taking requests 2-3 girls)

Chapter 3: Consequences of our actions

Zero and the black knights were marvelling at the view in front of them, in front of them through the glass window stood Mount Fuji the highest mountain in Japan in all its glory. At least its former glory for it was nothing more than a mechanized mine, being slowly drained of the world's most precious mineral.

Sakuradite

The real reason Britannia invaded Japan all those years ago -or at least what people think is the main reason *cough Kaminejima cough *, this rare mineral with its radioactive and super conductive property gave way to various technological advances but none more than the current generation of war machines the Knightmare Frames and with Britannia controlling the biggest reserve in Mt. Fuji it would only be a matter of time for their nations to further prosper and eventually Britannia will rule the world.

"Isn't it ugly?" and old voice said grabbing everyone's attention "Where the once beautiful waters and lush forest of the holy Mt. Fuji lay, stands the symbol of our oppression."

The group turned around and saw two men presumably body guards standing beside a large Japanese style palanquin with its front covers down hiding the face of its occupant, only showing the bottom half of the man's old body and a staff that was in his hand.

"I apologize for not showing my face, but I see that you too are masked, Zero" the voice said once more before pausing more a few seconds as if to take a second breath "I must ascertain who you are, I will have you remove your mask and show me your face" the man said as he extended his staff summoning four Knightmares armed with rifle which surrounded Zero and the Knights.

"Please wait, don't do this Zero gave us strength and led up to victory" Kallen said as she got positioned herself in front of Zero, ready to protect her leader with her own life in necessary.

"You can-"

"Silence" the man said with authority cutting off Kallen "Who among you is Ohgi?" the old man asked.

"Me" replied the curly haired member of the Black Knights

"Remove the mask" the old voice ordered as he pointed at Zero.

"I'm sorry Zero" Ohgi muttered as he approached the masked man and slowly took of the mask.

Everyone was in shock as long green hair fell out of the helmet their fearless leader Zero. The man who is feared throughout Britannia was nothing more than a foreign girl.

"No this woman isn't zero" Kallen said getting everyone to focus on her "I've seen her with Zero before" she added.

"Is this true woman?" the man from behind the palanquin asked.

"Yes" the woman replied with an indifferent tone as if she was bored.

"And you aren't Japanese are you?"

"You're right Kirihara Taizo-san" she answered with a smirk on her face making the guards stiffen and immediately order for their deaths.

The Knightmares tensed up ready to fire and execute everyone only for one Knightmare to fire its slash harkens at two others while it deployed its baton and disarmed the one by its side. The knightmare then charged at the palanquin aiming its huge rifle at the man behind it.

"You're old and you tactics are out dated, that's why you can never win" Zero proclaimed as she got out of her knightmare and started walking towards the now frustrated old man.

"Although it is as you've thought I am not Japanese"

"What is your goal?"

"To destroy the current Britannia"

"And how are you going to make me believe that you can do that?" the old man asked raining an eye brow, curious in what the masked man could do.

"I can, believe it" Zero said as she removed her mask revealing her purple eyes and long black hair.

"It's good to see you again Kirihara Taizo" she politely greeted.

"Ahh… that little princess who was banished from her home and brought to our home…. " the old man replied in amusement.

"Still as funny as ever Taizo-san" snapped back the exiled princess.

"So the princess has grown up!" the old man said as he started laughing, this was too much for the old man.

The man then suddenly stopped laughing "So you wish for our support?" the man asked seriously as he stared at the girl observing her as best he could.

"Hai, if it means defeating Britannia" she replied as she kept her posture strong befitting the leader of the Black Knights.

The man just grinned before he started laughing "Ohgi, this person is not Japanese and Zero is without a doubt an enemy of Britannia, he has good reason for hiding their identity but I guarantee that their wish to fight Britannia is reaI, You're group has my entire support you" the man announced before turning his attention back to Zero as he leaned out of the palanquin

"Are you going to walk the path of carnage?" the man asked with a strange smile on his face.

"If it is the only path left" Lulu replied as she placed her mask back on and walked towards her companions missing the now sinister grin on the old man's face.

'you cannot truly walk that path of carnage… you cannot become one a demon god… you are a weak woman Zero and when you show that one moment of weakness after you have liberated Japan you will be dealt with, but Zero will remain hiding yourself within a mask serves your on down fall, Zero is only a symbol a mask that whoever wears it could be easily replaced and Japan will be back to its former glory.' The old man thought as he watched Zero and the others leave.

He had a lot of planning to do.

Elsewhere

In a hill overlooking the former battle field of Narita stood a man, he was leaning over some railings his spiky blonde hair waving as the wind blew. The man is wearing a black jacket over a white dress shirt along with black jeans and sneakers the man was smoking a single stick of cigarette with one hand as he was folding something with the other. The man frowned as he saw more and more bodies getting dug out and brought into one of the intact buildings probably a school's gymnasium based on how it looks like. He also watched as various families went in and out of the place, crying for all those who were killed in the encounter.

He looked up into the sky "Charles, V2 these are the consequences of your actions, you're foolishness for the sake of that deluded dream" he then paused

"However Zero I wonder why do you fight? For what reason would you create a scene of carnage like this one" the man asked to himself.

He then smiled sadly "I wonder, which path you are going to take?" he wondered as he spotted another crying family this one was too girls, a mother and her daughter with long orange hair.

"Another life changed forever because of the pains of war…" the man said as he took one last drag as he threw the butt of the cigarette away.

He exhaled the smoke as he finished what he was folding, a small paper crane that now rested on his palm.

"Nine hundred and ninety-nine more until my wish can be granted huh?" The man said as he pocketed the paper crane as he slowly walked away from the scene.

He sighed sadly "I could have prevented this" the man said as he continued walking pulling out a cell phone from his pocket as he started pushing some numbers.

This was the price he paid for not stopping their plans sooner.

"Hello" the man said as he placed the phone near his ear.

This was the price he paid for trusting humanity to deal with their problems.

"Yes it's me" he said once more.

This was the consequences of his action.

"Would you mind meeting up?" he asked.

And he was planning to do something about it.

The man smiled "Good I'll buy you coffee" he continued walking, steps with more life than before.

-N2-

It was a serene scene; the skies were dark as group of students and various adults stood behind a girl with long orange hair, she was wearing black mourning clothes as she stood beside her mother who weeping at the grave of her father.

She tried to stay strong but the seeing her mother weep at the thought of her father getting buried once more was too much for her. But still the girl tried her best not to break out in her own tears as she hugged her mother and did her best to console the still weeping widow. After a few more minutes of intense weeping some of the adults decided it was best to try and move the widow away from the grave less they want to see her breakdown even further.

As her mother was led away from the grave the orange haired teen turned around and looked at her friends. They all stood close by and each was expressing their own emotions in the matter emotions.

Milly Ashford a girl with shoulder length blonde hair and dark blue eyes , she was the student council president of their school the Ashford Academy and one of the weeping girl- Shirley Fenette's close friends. She wanted to walk to her friend and give her one big consoling hug but she knew better her friend was trying her best to act strong and she respected the girl's wishes. However, her resolve was slowly wavering as the Shirley slowly walked towards the group.

A girl wearing glasses with green Hair and indigo eyes, Nina Einstein stood beside Milly she kept her hands folded together in front of her as she looked at the ground, she was always jealous of the girl's cheerfulness but like everybody else she couldn't help but feel sad about the girl's lost.

The red-head Kallen Kozuki Stadfelt couldn't help but say "I'm sorry, Shirley", she knew what it felt like to lose someone you love, she just lost her brother a few months back and it completely devastated her. Although she outwardly appeared calm and stoic like she pretended to be while in school, on the inside she was trembling she has killed before but it was often some Britannian soldiers or sleazebag assholes that thought it was it was okay to rape a Japanese girl. However this situation was different she caused the death of her friend's father. She caused that landslide and couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Why are you apologizing?" Shirley replied calmly as Kallen gulped and actually took a step back. The girl didn't know what to say, all words died in her mouth, she couldn't really say "Because I was a terrorist and I was the one who caused the landslide" because it would either be taken seriously or be considered a really bad joke not fitting the situation.

Thankfully she was saved when her blue haired acquaintance Rivals Carmdemonde decided to join the conversation. "I'm sorry too, when that hotel jacking happened I though Zero and the Black Knights was pretty cool, So I'm really sorry" he said as he bowed.

Shirley took a few steps towards her still bowing friend "No no you don't have to feel sorry what happened in Narit-" It was then that Milly had enough, the blonde placed her hands over Shirley's shoulders as Milly looked at the girl straight in the eyes.

"Stop it, have you cried enough? If you don't let it out, it'll be all the more painful later" she said with concern.

Shirley looked at the ground refusing to meet the eyes of her friend "It's all alright, I've cried plenty enough" she replied as she closed her eyes.

"It's not fair!" said the previously silent brown-haired boy with green eyes Suzaku Kururugi.

The orange haired teen opened her eyes as she looked at the teen, he had his head down "The way Zero and the Order of the Black Knights do things just isn't right!" he said not noticing Kallen and Lulu stiffening at his words. The teen continued "They just take advantage of people, create panic in the populace and proclaim their victory! They can't change a thing. A victory won through dishonest mean is not a victory at all!"

"Well, it's about time we go" Milly said as she tried to lessen the tension in the situation it was best to leave the girl on her own for now so she can finally stop trying to act strong and cry. "Shirley we'll be waiting for you in the Student Council room, as usual, okay?"

Shirley let out a sad smile as she nodded; they really were good friends as her friends slowly left one person remained on the scene.

Her best friend.

The first person who she told the news about.

The person who hugged her and comforted her in the rain.

Throughout the entire affair Lulu Lamperouge stayed silent, she couldn't even look at her best friend.

This was all her fault.

"Lulu, thank you for everything" the girl said sadly as Lulu felt as if several daggers were stabbed into her heart.

The girl gave one last sad look at the grave before breaking down in tears and running away.

"Shirley!" Lulu screamed out as she extended her hand forward, but it was too late, the girl was long gone.

Lulu stared at her friends retreating figure as she looked up at the dark sky and tried her best not to cry.

This was the price she had to pay for being Zero.

The consequence of her actions.

-N2-

The very same man who escaped from the clutches of those evil Britannian scientists, well not really evil per se the blonde just thought they were, they did experiment on his body and for all he know they could've probed him so for all he cared about they were devils. He never was good with scientists not after dealing with a few mad ones throughout his life. Ah wait back to the point. The man was standing in a gas station as he watched an attendant fill up an orange-colored motorcycle- specifically a Ducati Streetfighter S.

Making good use of his time the man pulled out his cellphone again which he took from one of his safe houses near Narita, thank the log the safe house was still intact or else he would still be clueless and helpless at to what is occurring in the world now. That and he wouldn't have a bad ass motorcycle with him. There wasn't anything wrong with walking but without Chakra it was really a pain in the ass to walk from one city to another and what better way to travel than in a motorcycle.

The man dialed a few numbers as he bought the phone close to his ears; it took a couple of rings before the person on the other side picked up.

"Hey Remember me!" Naruto greeted cheerfully only to get a loud scream in response.

"Yes Yes I'm sorry for not contacting for a while" he said apologetically as the person on the other side on the phone demanded an explanation.

"I was in a coma for 9 years" he paused for a bit "And no I'm not lying"

"What do I want? Direct to the point as ever you never really changed since you were a young and barely knew how to add and subtract." He chuckled as the person on the other side growled.

"Okay Okay calm down I'll stop teasing" the man said as his cheerful tone changed into a more serious one. "How's the status of our little project…."

The man immediately face palmed and rubbed his temples "What the hell do you mean you gave it to the Chinese! That was my hard-earned money! Well not hard-earned but still" he sighed as he listened to the person's explanation about needing more money and no one being capable of piloting it. "Well how about the prototype?" there was no response "wait let me guess you gave it away didn't you?" more silence "At least tell me who you gave it too?" the man's eyes widened a bit in surprise as he smirked "The Order of the Black Knights huh? So you and your group are supporting them as well." His smirk vanished as he began hearing who they were tied to, Kirihara Taizo and the Kyoto group, those people were extremely shady and it was best to not have anything to do with them.

He just shook his head it's not like the other person could see it "Well… then if those are unavailable then how is our main project? The collaboration one" the man raised and eye brow as he let out an uncharacteristic feral smile. "NE9-nW is 90% percent done huh? Are the other two still involved in making it?" he nodded as he heard yes from the other side, good at least some people were doing this job the past few years. "Hey I'll call you back I have to give the other two a call.. okay talk to you later"

"Sir your motorcycle is ready" the gas attendant said as he approached the blonde.

"Oh thank you~" Naruto responded as he pulled out his wallet. He took out a few notes and gave it to the attendant, giving him a few extra bills as tip which the man kindly took.

The immortal made his way back to his motorcycle as he internally smirked; there was small folder on top of his bike. 'It seems that my network is still active' he thought as he placed the folder in a compartment in his bike and dialed another number on his phone.

This was turning out to be a good and productive day.

The Next Day

The immortal found himself entering an old establishment. It was a coffee shop, a family owned store that existed for at least fifty years and it was still standing strong. He took a sit in one of the empty tables and waited as a waiter eventually approached to take his order.

"I'd like to order some ramen" the blonde said as he continued fiddling with his phone trying to get in contact with as many people in his network as possible.

"I'm terribly sorry sir but this is a coffee shop we don't sell ramen here" the waiter replied in an apologetic tone only to be ignored by the blonde.

"I said I'd like some ramen, if you don't have it then I'd like some coffee flavoured ramen"

"Sorry sir as I said we don't ser-"

"Nine of every flavor" Naruto muttered under his breath loud silent enough that only the waiter could hear it. The waiter's eyes suddenly widened as he gulped.

"Would you like the chef's recommendation?" he asked.

"Gladly is there some sugar?" the teen replied with smirk.

"Lots about nine years' worth of sugar" he answered confidently now knowing who this teen was and what exactly he was looking for.

"Good" the blonde smiled, as the waiter left.

Naruto took out his phone as he began texting a few more people.

He smiled as he sensed someone take the seat directly behind him, the person's back against his.

He continued texting "Oh you're here earlier than I thought" the blonde whispered

"It wasn't easy to get here you know" replied the feminine voice.

"Sorry about that military life must be a drag huh? so what do you have about our masked vigilante?"

"A lot" the person said as she subtly passed a small folder to the man.

"So what will you be doing now?" she asked as the man began looking at the folder's contents.

"I'll stay around the area… might visit the memorial site they're making a few days from now… it's best to honor the fallen before making my way... and doing my best to resolve this whole cluster fuck of a situation we are all in"

"Must you always use such crude words" the woman replied.

"Oh? Weren't you like this long ago?" the man asked back as he smirked knowing that the other person was definitely blushing now.

The man raised an eye brow as he saw a name and picture in the file "Hmm… Lulu Lamperouge huh?"

"Any orders?" she asked.

"Hmm… just observe and don't take any noticeable actions against her."

"Yes, My lord" the woman replied as she stood up and began walking towards the exit.

"Going already?... You just arrived; don't you want to catch up?"

"Maybe next time, I need to head back for now, nice seeing you again though Naru-san" the woman replied as she walked out of the shop.

"You too" Naruto replied to no one as the waiter arrived with his order.

A few days later

It was early in the morning as the clouds hung low; it was still dark and misty, as if to portray the emotions of one person standing in front of a cross, a memorial to represent all those who died from the landslide the Black Knights –no that Zero caused.

"I'm sorry" the girl said her tone filled with sadness, bitterness, and most of all regret.

She regretted her actions, she should have considered the possibility of innocent people getting caught in the cross fire of her battle with her sister. She should have thought of something different, adapted her pans so they wouldn't have killed needlessly, to decrease the civilian casualties.

But what's done is done and her actions resulted in the deaths of hundreds if not thousands of civilian lives.

The death of friends.

The death of families.

The death of Shirley's father.

She cringed as she thought about it, her hands now stained with the blood of the innocent, she didn't have problems with the deaths of the military and the rebels they were prepared for that but this one, this one was something she didn't account for. The girl was too caught up in her thinking that she didn't notice the faint sound of footsteps slowly approaching her.

"You look troubled young one" said a voice from behind the girl making her jump up in shock. She looked behind her and saw a handsome man with spiky blonde hair and blue eyes. He was wearing all black giving the man a feeling that he is mourning. She looked at the man closely she couldn't place a finger on it but this man felt familiar, she felt that she knew him from somewhere but she just couldn't remember.

"I… I..." she said only to find herself lost for words not knowing how to properly express her feelings.

The man smiled warmly making the teen take a step back as she felt her face heat up "No need to strain yourself young one, take your time and think things through" the man said as he walked forward the girl's view still following him as the man stopped in front of the memorial and traced the a random name written on it. "This stone contains the name of all of those who recently died because of the actions of the Britannian Empire and the Black Knights. Did you perhaps lose someone?"

"Yes" she lied.

"Hmm" the man said as he looked closely at the young Britannian "I see would you mind if I tell you a story?" he asked as he looked away from the girl.

"Okay" she said not really knowing why but she felt like listening to the man's words.

The man let out a hearty chuckle "Long ago in a place that time has long forgotten there was a man who like you stood in front of a memorial. Every day at dawn he stood in front it and paid respects to all the lives that were sacrificed for his sake, for his ideals, for his dreams."

He stopped as he took a deep breath "Never regretting the blood that has already been spilled…"

"Why are you telling me this?" she asked as she tensed up.

"Because you have the same look that he did all those ages ago, the look of regret" he stopped for a moment as he saw her tense up before he continued. "But you know what, the man didn't let their sacrifice be in vain, he lived on even if it meant spilling more blood in order to honor the blood that his allies spilled."

There was another pause as Lulu froze as she absorbed the man's words. "Never regret it, Otherwise you would be spitting on the faces of those who died because of your ideals"

"Why are you telling me this?" she repeated as she placed a hand inside her pocket reaching for her gun just in case.

"Well…. Why not Zero-chan?" the man said as he turned around and started walking away ignoring the gasp he heard from the girl.

The girl's eyes widened as she pulled out her gun and aimed it at the man.

The man stopped walking as if he knew she pulled a gun out. "Shoot" he said as his instincts told him that she was aiming her gun at him.

He paused as he let a few seconds pass by, he then sighed. The girl didn't shoot, just like they didn't shoot as well years ago.

He started walking away only to stop when he heard the loud sound of a gun being fired.

"Huh?" the blonde asked in wonder as he looked at his left arm and saw a gaping bullet hole in his shoulder.

"You actually shot me, well I'll be damned" the immortal said as he smiled. Now the girl was showing promise. He placed his hands above his head as if to say he surrenders as he turned around and faced the girl who was still pointing a gun at him.

"Who are you?" the girl asked as she looked directly at the man's eyes activating her Geass, demanding an answer from the man.

"Who am I is none of your concern, well at least for now" he replied as the girl's eyes widened once more in shock. Her geass didn't affect the man at all. It was like when she tried it with C.C.

"I do have one question for you Ojou-chan, since you fired your gone at me are you prepared to be shot at as well? " the man asked as a Kunai slipped out of his right sleeve into his right hand and with a speed that surpassed human limitations the man threw the knife and at the gun with much force that the teenager was forced to let go.

"The only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed" the girl replied as she came into a sudden realization. This was a test from whoever this man was; it was a test to measure her resolve. Since he wasn't affected by the geass then he could be one of C.C.'s associates.

"Who are you?" she asked as she held her hand close to her chest. She felt her heart beat faster and faster as she thought of his story and who this man could probably be.

'I expect great things from you Lulu vi Britannia' the immortal thought as he slowly turned around and began walking way.

He cleared his throat as he stopped walking deciding to leave the girl with some parting words. "Someone who once walked the same path as you" the man said as he continued walking away leaving a wide-eyed teen staring at his retreating figure.

-N2-

The same day Night time

Lulu sat in the shadows of a warehouse as she dried herself off; she just swam a few meters under a lake and planted a bomb made of Sakuradite in the middle of the lake, or at least where she predicted their targets will go.

"Are you having second thought?" Lulu asked to Kallen who just entered the warehouse. The teen looked extremely hesitant and was still probably feeling guilt over what happened to Shirley's father.

Kallen stopped walking as she thought of a reply "I've fought for justice because I believed it was the right thing to do. That's why I killed so many people" she paused for a moment before adding. "But can what we're doing really change the world?" she asked in desperately wanting an answer from the one figure she decided to follow, from her idol and leader, from Zero.

"It can. No, it must" Zero replied

"But-"

"There will be sacrifice…. Not just soldiers, but the innocent by standers who are caught in the cross fire as well." Lulu replied sadly "That is why I can't stop, I've already spilled to much blood… And I must spill more blood or else the blood already spilled would be for naught" Lulu replied as Kallen swore she heard it the sound of sadness and regret in Zero's voice.

"You can still back out Kallen, no one's forcing you to join, if you wish to do so now is the time"

Kallen gasped as her eyes began to tear up there was genuine hint of concern in her leader's voice, as if it was actually begging her to leave. He was offering her this one chance to no longer stain her hand with more blood. Her shoulders dropped as her hesitation slowly faded away. She smiled and closed her eyes as she found her resolve strengthened by Zero's simple words.

"I will walk with you, by your side" she replied with confidence.

From the shadows Lulu smiled, it wasn't a devious one or a mocking one, it was a genuine smile that she only wore when she is with Nunnaly.

"Thank You Kallen" she replied extremely grateful towards the red-head's words. This was another reason, why she must continue on to this path, If not for herself and her sister then for those who have already fallen, if not for them then for the dream of her loyal friend Kallen. This is why she must fight on.

This is why she must continue struggling.

This is why she must taint her hands more with the blood of the guilty and the innocent alike.

This is why she must live with the consequence of her actions.

-N2-

The green haired with was walking alone that night, she wasn't wearing her usual white straight jacket like clothes. This night she was wearing a red cap, a black shirt under a red jacket matched with black pants.

Why was she dressed up like this?

Well she was heading for Lulu's direction. Honestly that woman always tried to do everything by herself and she needed to be there to save her if needed. She didn't want her newest contractor dying so soon.

The witch stopped walking as it started snowing.

She raised her hand palm facing the sky as a small snow flake fell into her hand.

"I don't want to make the same mistakes again" she said out loud as she thought of two people in her past whose lives she unknowingly screwed over. One of them she didn't really care about but the other brought pain to her heart every time she thought about it.

"If… I agreed with you…. I wonder would you still be in my side right now?" she asked to no one in particular as she looked up to the sky and remembered the man who told her the story about the snow's color. The witch shook her head it wasn't the time to get all sentimental.

She had to make sure that the little princess didn't get herself killed.

With that in mind the green haired witch C.C. started walking once more.

-N2-

She was inside a Burai and was in a battlefield once more.

This time triggered by the bomb she planted earlier as it detonated taking out a JLF ship along with some Britannian soldiers and Knightmares that were attacking it.

'I'm sorry but I will make sure your sacrifices will not be in vain' Lulu though before she began giving out orders. This was the perfect opportunity to capture her sister and she didn't want to let this chance slip by.

"A fitting end for the JFL they sacrificed themselves taking out as many Britannian's as they can. Let their sacrifice not be in vain! We're breaking through Cornelia's stronghold. Our Mission is to capture the Princess."

"Never mind anything else! Show them our power and resolve!" Zero proclaimed as their Knigthmares began deploying from their hiding spots.

"Knock the Knightmares into the sea before the pilots can get to them!" she ordered as she started to move forward

"Kallen, you're with me!" she ordered getting a yes in response as she made her way inside the enemy's stronghold. They were definitely not expecting an attack as she saw the Britannia's in chaos trying to get to their Knightmares in time less they wanted to be killed by the terrorists.

Lulu quickly scanned the area as she found her target's customized Gloucester. She smiled as she sent her Burai barreling towards the still inactive Knightmare tackling it through the wall of Cornelia's base. Lulu quickly went through the huge hole in the wall and aimed her rifle at the down Knightmare. The rebel leader's eyes widened as she saw a slash harken heading her way, she moved to the side to try and evade the projectile but frowned as it still managed to hit and sever her Burai's left arm. Her sister's still downed Knightmare lifted up is rifle and aimed at her Burai only for It to be quickly disarmed courtesy of Kallen's slash harkens.

"Good Job Kallen" she said to herself as the Guren's slash harkens surrounded and tied up Cornelia's Knightmare.

"Crush the Knightmare and drag her out" she ordered as she aimed her rifle at the Gloucester.

'Checkmate!' she thought as victory was at hand.

Only for it to be taken away from her grasp as it appear once more.

The White Knight.

She gritted her teeth in frustration as her Knightmare was kicked in the face and was sent tumbling into the ground. She immediately stood up and tried to back away as she was furiously assaulted by the White Knight.

"Why must you always get in my way!" she complained as she tried to escape the onslaught of the attacks. She wanted to ask Kallen for help but saw that she was busy dealing with Cornelia who has already recovered from their previous attack.

She cursed out as her Knightmare began falling apart the specs were just too different. That damned Knightmare was just too strong for her weak and flimsy burai to handle. Lulu fired a Slash Harken slightly into one of the containers near the White Knight and used it to reel herself in hoping to get away from the source of all her troubles, only for her to get shot down while she was in mid-air forcing her to eject the moment she landed.

She screamed out in pain as her body repeatedly hit the walls of her cockpit several times as it ejected from her Knightmare.

The ravenette hit her head hard before losing consciousness.

-N2-

'Called it' C.C. thought as she arrived in the scene and gently pulled Lulu who was still wearing the now damaged mask of Zero out of the broken cockpit of her Knightmare.

She grabbed the still functioning walkie talkie from within the cockpit.

"Zero, Please respond! Zero!" said Ougi as his voice went through the contraption.

C.C. sighed as she answered back "Ougi? It's me C.C. Zero's alight but Immobile. You have to give the order to retreat or else everyone will die."

"Hai" the man replied as C.C. looked down on her still unconscious princess.

"Honestly, what would you do without me?" she asked herself as she watched over the teen.

Naruto was sitting in a park bench smoking and after eating a cup of instant Ramen as he continued making phone calls but the blonde suddenly stopped when he spotted a familiar looking fellow.

The immortal smiled "I'll call you back" he told the person on the other side of the phone as he closed it and crept up behind the man.

"Hello Mao-kun"

The insane geass user heard his name being called making his head snap to the direction of the voice as his eyes suddenly widened.

"C.C. where are we going?" a young Mao asked as she looked at the green-haired beauty.

"To a friend's place" the girl replied as she led the boy to a secluded area around the mountains of China

He saw a man standing across from his slightly grinning, that familiar mop of spiky yellow hair as well as those cerulean blue eyes.

"I need you to Take care of him for a while" the woman said a she pointed to a young Mao.

Mao looked up and saw a man dressed in orange with yellow spikey hair.

He saw the same man now sporting all black clothing.

"Sure….. I've been bored recently do you mind if I have fun with the kid?" the blonde asked as the younger Mao just kept staring between the man and C.C. wondering how they were acquainted.

He noticed C.C. freeze up for a moment as the man said the word 'fun' before she replied "Sure, just don't kill the kid"

The man was slowly walking towards him.

'Huh?' the young Chinese boy thought to himself as he saw the blonde man kneel and look at him in the same eye level smiling.

"Hello Mao-kun, nice to meet you" the man said with an almost unnaturally sweet and gentle tone.

That very same smile he was sporting now.

The boy gulped as he turned his head around only to find that the green-haired girl already left, leaving behind a trail of dust as if she ran from the area. He then turned his neck back towards the blonde.

"Ready to have lots of fun Mao-kun?" the man asked with a hint of mischief in his voice.

Naruto smiled as he watched the now grown up Mao starting to shaking and shivering.

"Ready to have lots of fun Mao-kun?" Naruto asked repeating what he said to the kid multiple times years ago.

Mao did the only thing he could do in that situation, he didn't run away, he didn't pull out his gun and shoot the man, no instead. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHH GGGGGEEEEEEEEEEETTTT HIIIIIIIMMMM AAWWWWWWWAAAAAYYYYYY FRRRRRRROOOOOOOOMMMMMMM MMMEEEEEE!" the man screamed out as he almost soiled himself. He continued screaming loudly before his brain finally short circuited, his eyes rolling to the back of his head as he fainted.

"Huh? I wonder if it was something I said?" the blonde asked no one in particular as he grabbed the body of the now unconscious Mao and walked away dragging it along.

The two had a lot of catching up to do.
