Star Geass: Lelouch of the Re; Bellion

Royal Regime's Headquarters

Karre was didn't have his helmet or his cape on while he was walking down a huge hallway meanwhile hiding in the shadows was someone's glowing yellow eyes before it brandished a purple lightsaber and then charged at Karre.

Karre felt the attack of the lightsaber as he kart wheeled away from the incoming lightsaber slash of one Mace Windu.

The Jedi swung his lightsaber a few before charging at Karre who grabbed his lightsaber and blocked the attack as the two were in a deadlock with each other until Karre then kicked Windu to the floor as he then impales him with his lightsaber Mace screamed as he appeared to revert back into a droid then looks at Karre.

"Ah Master Karre, another excellent duel!" The droid said as if pleased with the outcome despite losing to his opponent.

"Well you caught me by complete surprise, PROXY. I haven't seen you use that training module since I was just 12 years old and here I thought you deleted it!" As he helped the droid back to his feet the now identified as PROXY then said to him cleaning some dust off his body.

"I was thinking that using the Mace Windu module would catch you completely off guard and allow me to finally gain a victory against you and fulfil one of my functions in finally defeating you in glorious combat." PROXY sighed and said to his friend as if admitting disappointment even sighing.

"I'm sorry I failed you again, Master." Karre then said with a smile to the droid even gently punching his shoulder "No don't be, I enjoy your style of training. It proves I have to be ready for anything against our enemies!" PROXY then said with a nod.

"Indeed I was debriefed about Zero and his Jedi companion Luke Skywalker aiding him as well as declaring something of a Rebel Alliance from Director Argos. I look forward to our future missions together!"

Karre smiled and said to the droid "Me too and I think R-Duo has missed you the most during your time away!" PROXY chuckled as the two arrive at a hanger bay with some speeder bikes.

"Indeed that little droid is indeed my counterpart after all so besides R-Duo who else has missed me?" Karre then told PROXY. "Well Am has but you know my big sister she doesn't want to admit out loud and Julius has also missed you as well!"

PROXY nodded as he started up the speeder bike "Indeed Lord Julius and I have many good memories together when he was around your age and I can't wait to see how Lady Am has been doing as well!"

Karre chuckled at those fond memories. "Yeah good times they were!" The droid then looked at Karre "And one one thing Master Karre…" PROXY said as Karre was all ears as the droid declared.

"First one to the Saitama Ghetto wins!" PROXY cheered as he speeds off Karre rolls his eyes as he gave chase to the holo droid that's also been like an uncle to him how he missed PROXY.

The Falcon

"Our fears has been confirmed the likes of The Blood of the Samurai, the Shadow Clan, Shiniboi's Steel, these are all the resistance cells that Cornelia has completely wiped out in just a few short days." Asami folding her arms at the situation at hand as everyone was looking at though the hologram.

Han folds his arms saying. "Hate to admit it out loud but that lady knows her stuff considering she doesn't waste time almost looking at another Leia!"

"She doesn't because this is Cornelia we are speaking of!" Lelouch commented and said. "She's a warrior trained from birth always ready to lay her life down on the line for this so-called Empire of Britannia! And it looks like I have these cowards running scared!"

"Um, don't you mean we have these cowards running scared?" Lop stated. "We're just as involved in this as you are." Tdee chirped in agreement.

"I know, you're a vital part of all this." Lelouch said. Asami glared at Lelouch as if sensing something about him but however said nothing for the time being as Leia then said as her eyes widened.

"Of course that's her game plan!" Luke then said "What's the matter Leia you see something?" Leia nodded saying to Artoo.

"Artoo I need you to go back to the locations Cornelia attacked and line the dots together!" Artoo doing what she asked, it was at that moment the Falcon crew and Lelouch noticed that there was indeed a pattern, literally connected the dots. It was a near-perfect circle that encompassed the area that represented the Tokyo Settlement.

"Oh my goodness!" Threepio said in shock Leia then said. "Agreed Threepio seems like Cornelia is circling the perimeter of the Settlement. Since she's looking for us, she's hitting each possible hiding place we would be at since Luke's big debut."

"And it completely encircled the entire area." Han added. "So now that Cornelia's looked all over the perimeter…" Luke began.

"She's going to now focus more on inward territory as it appears she has cut off our escape routes." Lelouch finished.

Han then said. "And we still haven't fixed the Falcon for a quick getaway! If things go from bad to worse!"

Luke then comments. "At least we're fighting some different Sith then the level Vader is on!"

Lelouch then froze the name was heard he could still hear the sinister breathing from that creature when he gained his Geass as Asami nodded finally speaking up.

"Agreed both Am and Karre are skilled warriors but it's fortunate that they are not Darth Vader knowing what that monster is capable of!"

C.C then said. "If I may ask from what the images of Artoo showed us about this Darth Vader he uses a red lightsaber while Luke, Asami and Lop use a blue, yellow and green lightsaber."

"Indeed you see a lot of people with different colour blades. I even knew a Jedi master who used a purple lightsaber and he was a member of the Jedi council!"

"But red on the other hand…" Han grimaced. "Someone with that lightsaber colour is always up to no good."

"They are users of the dark side…" Luke said to the exiled prince.

"The dark side?" Lelouch said as Artoo pulled up Obi-wan's holo again. "Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force." Artoo pauses the message.

"You see, as Lelouch has known throughout the ages, the Force is not always used for the good of others…" Asami said. "There are two sides of a coin: The light side and the dark side."

"The Jedi are the light," Lelouch induced. "While those who are in the dark are the opposite of the Jedi are referred to as Sith."

"Exactly," Luke said. "You see, Jedi were known to use the Force to help others and maintain balance," Luke explained. "And from what we have learned before arriving on earth, Sith or Dark Jedi use the Force or more accurately the dark side of it to control and cause destruction."

"Sounds very familiar…" Lelouch narrowed his eyes. "So these Sith, they are those who side with the Empire and against the Jedi…"

"When the Jedi Order fell, and when the Empire rose to power, The Jedi who were not killed, while some of them were captured and brainwashed. To become enforcers to the Empire. Serving under command of Darth Vader. They were called the Inquisitors."

Asami gives him this information as the silhouettes of the inquisitors are shown such as Grand inquisitor, 2nd sister, 3rd sister, 5th Brother, 7th Brother, 8th Brother and lastly Marrok as their lightsaber blades glowed red.

"And these inquisitors are still around?" Lelouch asked as Asami and Lop shook their heads, meaning no, which was a small relief knowing he didn't have to fight any of them.

"Lelouch you have to listen to me very carefully," Luke turned to Lelouch with his face turned very serious as he grabbed his shoulders.

"Believe it or not Darth Vader is far more dangerous than anyone in Britannia. You do not know him yet but he is unlike anything you'll ever meet in Ashfold or in the galaxy. He is not someone you would even want as an enemy. He is by far the most dangerous being in all the galaxy. Hope that you NEVER meet him."

Lelouch nodded knowing how serious this was if Darth Vader was this powerful and destructive from what he was told.

Leia then said "Indeed the Empire from where we had many dangerous weapons including the Death Star, a device capable of destroying a single planet by using Kyber crystals!" Lelouch's eyes widened that sounded crazy and insane before shaking his head saying.

"Right back to the matter of hand Saitama ghetto, how are we gonna be able to get over two thousand people away from the fight?"

Lop gasped and said, snapping her fingers "I got an idea!" Leia then said "Let's hear it Lop!" The lepti padawan nodded to the General as she shows a holographic image of grey and silver starship that looked like it can only travel on the ships gravity level.

"Asami and I have these ships called the EVAC shuttles. They don't have any type of weapons on them but they are useful and get people to safety and they are also operated by pilot droids!"

Leia then said. "We can use the shuttles to evacuate the people in the settlement but the problem is where to send them?"

"We'll program the shuttles to head to the Shinjuku all at once, while at the same time, preparing the ghetto itself to be used to our advantage." Lelouch suggesting something.

"Why choose that place?" Han asked in confusion Lelouch then said "Think about it, I was recently there a while ago and Cornelia wouldn't think I'd be so foolish to return to a place that can be so easily attacked. It's the last place she'd look." Lelouch explained..

Luke then said while smiling "That's an excellent plan and the evac shuttles are equipped with state of the stealth devices on them so that'll work in our favour!"

Leia then spoke up "For the time being you should head back and get ready for when we strike!" Lelouch nodded as he left Asami then said.

"Skywalker, a word if you please?" Luke nodded to her as they were outside the Falcon.

"Is there something we need to chat about Asami?" Asami then folded her arms then said with a serious voice "We have to talk about Lelouch!"

Luke then said. "You feel a bit uneasy trusting a former prince of Britannia as our ally?" "Luke I understand he's your friend in fact even your friends do but I fear that Lelouch could be a threat to all of us in the rebellion…"

"You're telling me you don't trust him?" Luke questioned, sounding shocked to hear that as Asami shook her head. "I have my doubts about the young prince in your court Lelouch sees our abilities in the force as a liability and there's something else I sense inside him not even he knows of!"

Luke then said wanting to know what it was "Something inside him?" Asami nodded saying "I sense the dark side inside him!" Luke's eyes widened to hear that.

As an image of Lelouch stands between a white stairway and a black one as Asami narrates.

"Lelouch is torn by both the Dark side and the light both are clinging to his soul, desiring to place him in one or the other. I know you see him as someone you can trust but if he doesn't change his tune and the way he acts by seeing everyone as just his pawns for his own selfish goals I'm afraid that he could fall to the darkside…"

Lelouch walks over to the black stairway gaining yellow eyes and an evil smirk.. "Should he walk down the path of the dark side he could gain power at a terrible price without knowing the danger or consequences to those around him until he will become just like…"

Luke gasped and said, knowing who she was talking about. "Vader!" Asami nodded then said to him saying there's another way for Lelouch to escape that fate.

"However you stand as something important to Lelouch to him your his friend and he can trust you with all his heart and it falls to you to ensure he doesn't fall to the dark side you can turn all that fear and anger burning inside Lelouch's head into something a Jedi that stands by your side a guardian of peace and justice…"

Luke then said knowing this was serious and they couldn't tell anyone about their talk. "I'll do my best for him, I won't let Lelouch go down the same path Vader did!" Asami smiled as Luke headed back to the falcon as Asami frowns as she looks at Luke as she thought to herself

"Poor boy if he was told the truth about who Vader really was, it'd break him I have to do whatever it takes to keep Luke away from that truth sometimes truth is sometimes best kept hidden to avoid hurting the ones you care for…"

As soon as night fell across the planet the Rebellion got to work as Leia and Oghi were getting people on onboard the evac shuttles as Oghi had informed the Yamato Alliance that they were in danger. However, this group appeared to be a bit more stubborn than expected, and due to Ohgi's more passive nature, it was difficult for him to talk to them. That all changed however when Luke, Asami and Lop showed their skills of the force along with their lightsabers knowing the three Jedi were able to take down an army of Matrix troopers and Purebloods with ease.

The leaders of the Yamato Alliance came to a halt and the conjoined group immediately began to evacuate all the citizens as they got onboard the shuttles.

They had to be extra careful knowing their foes had eyes everywhere, despite it being night time; the citizens were all aboard the shuttles flying away from the scene as the cover of darkness.

would conceal them. Due to the large population, The Yamato Alliance and Kouzuki Resistance group, the ghetto had been completely evacuated. Now all they had to do was wait for when they believed Cornelia li Britannia, the infamous Goddess of Victory, would strike.

The Next Day – Tokyo Settlement royal palace

"It's a seventh generation Knightmare frame, making its abilities far greater than normal." Lloyd explained to Princess Cornelia his most prized invention, hoping this would allow him to use it in battle far more often as he was also with B-20n Am & Julius.

"Yes I understand Lancelot's pilot is an Eleven." Cornelia said. "That's correct, an honorary Britannian. However…"

"I am promoting this man from private to warrant officer." Cornelia said immediately. "That should satisfy him. I'm trying to win without relying too much on the numbers." "To win, you say?" Lloyd questioned with an amused smile. "Do you really think you can actually win against the Jedi and their little allies?"

Cornelia narrowed her eyes. "Are you doubting my abilities, Aspund?"

Lloyd didn't lose his odd smile. "No, of course not. I'm only saying it's best not to underestimate this little rebellion group. After all, Asami, Lop and Luke made the Purebloods look like novice pilots, not to mention young Skywalker was actually able to go on par with the Lancelot and that was just with a Sutherland."

"My forces and I are not the Purebloods." Cornelia stated firmly. "I can promise that neither they nor Zero have ever faced anything like me before."

"Well good luck, your majesty." Lloyd gave a mocking bow, much to Cornelia's annoyance.

"Daughter!" Cornelia turned around to see her father Charles standing as her back went stiff. 

"Father what are you doing here and what can I do for-?" Cornelia completely stunned until he began to laugh at her until he reverted back to PROXY as the droid points at her.

"Oh goodness the look on your face was hilarious you really thought it was the Emperor AHAHAH!" Cornelia's face went red as she was fooled by this wacky robot while Julius and Am however shouted in joy as the two were smiling expect for B-2ON "PROXY!" "Lord Julius & Lady Am it's been so long!" PROXY gave them hugs as they laughed as PROXY replied with. "Oh I have missed how have you both been on keeping things in check since I last saw you?" Julius smiled and said.

"Very well thanks old friend!" Lloyd then said taking a good look at PROXY's mainframe "I can assume that this is the agent Argus has sent us, he's very interesting and here he'd be a human being.."

Am smirked to the mad scientist. "Of course he is PROXY is one of the if not best droids in the Regime he's able to shape shift into anyone even has data even your tiny computers can do!" Lloyd found that simply amazing it was as if he landed in heaven upon meeting the droid.

PROXY nodded and said to them. "Indeed I have millions of data, even data of Jedi & Sith of the old era I can even transform into them at will as their skills and abilities are mine!" Lloyd then said. "I would love to see how your skills work, you wonderful machine!" PROXY then said, detecting danger from the man as he held his hands out.

"Another time perhaps right, don't you have to go see your pilot?" Lloyd gasped and said. "That's right of course I must tell Suzaku to go to school!" He then ran off leaving the Regimes and the princess to their duties.

PROXY then looked at B2ON and said as if grumpy to see the protocol droid after some time "B2ON!" The protocol droid scoffed back saying. "Hmph! PROXY!"

Special Corps headquarters

Suzaku was working on some schoolwork on an elevated platform by the Lancelot with Cecile by his side.

"Sorry you have to sit here, watching me do my homework." Suzaku apologised sincerely.

"Oh don't worry about it." Cecile said. "You never attended a regular school before, so it can't be avoided."

"The guys on the Student Council are helping me too, but it's still hard." Suzaku said as he read a textbook.

Cecile gave a slight giggle. "To be perfectly honest with you, I've been a little bit worried. It's supposed to be a liberal school but I was afraid you weren't fitting in well."

"Me too, I was expecting that." Suzaku explained. "But I happened to run into an old friend there and he smoothed everything out for me."

"Be sure you never take that friend for granted." Cecile told him. "If your friendship continues, your reunion won't have been mere coincidence, it will have been predestined."

"Okay." Suzaku said with a smile before it faded slightly. "Hey, Miss Cecile? If it's alright for me to ask, what exactly do you think of all this?"

"About what Suzaku?" Cecile asked as Suzaku answered. "About the Jedi and the rebellion.." Cecile then answers with

"Well I'm most surprised that there are people in the world that are to move things with just a single wave of their hands and that was with Am and Karre when I first met them.."

Suzaku then said. "Yeah as I did when I first battled against Luke.." Suzaku said in honesty, though he had mixed feelings about the Jedi fighting Britannia. He understood their reasoning about being peacekeepers, but surely there had to be a better way without resorting to violence.

"But again, that's just a part of my opinion." Cecile continued as her smile faded. "The rest of me feels rather terrified."

Suzkau sounds surprised to hear as Cecile kept talking "There's also Julius a master tactician and even he wields a lightsaber his reputation is feared across the world for the reason and then there's Argus he just mysteriously showed up one day with his army of troopers from across the world and got in into the good books with the Emperor…"

Suzaku understood why. Even he felt intimidated just from being around the Royal Regime's members and it wasn't just their soldiers but however his will stood strong knowing his goal in changing Britannia from the inside wasn't unnerved knowing how powerful the Royal Regime was but yet he he wasn't naïve enough to accept them with open arms. He would just have to tread carefully.

Seeing how sombre the mood became, Cecile tried to lighten things up. "Anyway, would you like to try one?" She offered him a tray of rice balls.

"Uh, thank you. I will." He was a little surprised but took a bite of one anyway, though his eyes widened in surprise. The rice ball wasn't bad, but the flavouring was unexpected. "There's jam in here."

"Yes, I just happened to get some lovely blueberries."

"Alright everyone…!" Lloyd walked in and began to announce to everyone in the room. "Pack it up! Pack it up! We're done for today! Don't do it any more! Hip, hip hooray! That's all folks!"

Suzaku looked a bit in surprise but Cecile gave him an apologetic smile, she'd felt bad now that he'd have to put up with Lloyd's antics.

"Go to school. Classes may be over for the day, but it's still important to meet your friends and have a social life too."

Ashford Academy – Student Council Room

Kallen and Shirley were putting together a cat tree for the stray cat that the Student Council took in after that whole mess a few days ago, they even named the cat Arthur. Shirley was setting up the tree itself while Kallen was getting some supplies out of a box.

"Say, can I ask you something important?" Shirley asked her. "Sure, what is it?" Kallen responded.

"Kallen… are you hiding something from us?" Shirley questioned, surprising Kallen. "If it's something too personal…" "No w-what are you talking about?" Kallen questioned, trying to keep up her sickly façade.

"You can tell me, I promise I won't be upset or anything." Shirley said, looking at the girl. "Are are you going out with Lulu?" Kallen's face was completely applauded as she shot to her feet in surprise. "What?! What would make you think that!?"

"Well… I've seen you two together and you were trying so hard to catch the cat before…" "Because I didn't want to be kissed by some random pervert!" Kallen exclaimed to her.

Argus was alongside Captain Katarn, Cornelia and her two knights Darlton and Guilford discussing something.

"The Saitama ghetto is completely surrounded." Darlton informed Cornelia as the two of them, Guilford, and several other officers and soldiers were stationed in her personal mobile base while all of Cornelia's forces, including multiple Sutherlands, tanks, foot soldiers, and aircraft, had completely encircled the perimeter of said ghetto, as per her orders.

"The Yamato Alliance's hideout is located somewhere in here, half the people in this neighbourhood are cooperating with them. So if we proceed now…" "And what'll be the effect on production?" Cornelia asked. "Primary sector output should decrease by zero-point-two percent." Darlton answered.

"At least that is assuring after the officers that were formerly Clovis's informed us about at least they had no reason to lie about it!" Argus said Captain Katarn nodded and said "Agreed!" As he inspected the map Cornelia then said. "You have something to say that is important information Captain?"

Katarn nodded to those present in the room as Argus then said. "If it's a good one then let's hear it!" Katarn nodded and said as he took a closer look at the map. "Knowing Zero and Skywalker's strategy over their battle with Clovis, how would they feel if we re-enacted that exact scenario?"

Military authorities reported they have surrounded the Saitama Ghetto, a known hiding place for terrorists. Viceroy Cornelia and the Royal Regime are on the scene as well. Entry into the area has been restricted to all non-combatants."

Those present onboard the falcon listened to the information as Artoo displayed the news as Luke said "Guess you were right Leia!" Leia nodded in agreement.

"It appears that a full-scale assault will be launched in two hours. Consequently…" The news continued to speak.." Julius, Am, Karre and PROXY all stood by a tv as they wondered what the Rebellion's next move was.

Katarn was bringing in some Matrix troopers alongside some Glide packers and Execution Troopers as they marched onto the scene near the settlement as Captain Katarn brought out his holoprojector as it shows Argus and Cornelia.

"Lord Argus, Viceroy Cornelia, the Valley hunters, Glide packers and the Execution troopers await your command.."

"Very good Katarn. I also sent word to Captain Furnace and his Pyro troopers that he'll meet you at the rally point!" Kyle's eyes widened from under his helmet and then said almost cautious about Furnace.

"Is that wise lord Argus knowing what he and his forces could do? You do know how reckless and destructive the Pyro troopers are! They love to see stuff burn Knightmares included."

"They are very resourceful on the battlefield Captain, do not question your orders given!" Kyle sighed and then said as he bowed his head. "Apologies Lord Argus!" Cornelia than said to the captain.

"This is very important, Captain Katarn. Zero and Skywalker are criminals with a flair for the theatrics, and it would seem that for some reason, The Jedi apparently value the lives of the weak, such as the Numbers."

Kyle nodded to her and said. "Will Warrant Officer Kurugui join us here with the Lancelot Viceroy?" Cornelia scoffed and said to the captain.

"I will have no need for that pathetic Eleven trooper." Kyle then said. "I understand your desire to get vengeance but do not allow it to cloud your judgement otherwise you'll lose sight of who you really are and what you're fighting for.."

"Really? Already?" Kallen asked subtly on her cell phone, not to try and let Shirley hear what she and Ohgi were talking about. "Okay, I'm on my way." She hung up. "I gotta go."

"Was that Lulu on the phone?" Shirley asked nervously as she held Arthur.

Kallen growled. She was going to get the point across. "No! Look for the last time, there is nothing going on between Lelouch and I!"

She was about to leave when the door opened to reveal the surprised faces of both Suzaku and Rai. "Excuse me." She walked past then and out in the hallway.

Both the nervous teens walked in to see Shirley looking a bit upset. "Uh… what was all that about?" Rai asked.

"It's none of your damn business!" Shirley exclaimed, her cheeks being red with tears ready to fall, much to the duo's surprise and confusion.

Lamperouge Residence

C.C. stepped into Lelouch's room, finding the young man packing up his soldier's uniform he had obtained from Shinjuku in a suitcase. The TV was on with the announcement of Cornelia's military surrounding the Saitama Ghetto.

"You're not really falling for the enemy's provocation, are you?" C.C. questioned.

"More like an invitation," Lelouch smirked. "Besides… there's something I want to ask Cornelia." Lelouch then loses his smirk "However I can't have Luke follow me into the enemy leader's territory last time even if he saved me from the brink of death."

"Destroying Britannia, battling the Royal Regime, Preparing yourself when the Galactic Empire arrives at your very doorstep or discovering who murdered your mother. Which is more important to you?" C.C. asked him.

"All four questions are of equal importance." Lelouch replied. "The royal family members are competing with each other to see who will become the next ruler. Or rather, they're being forced to fight by that man!"

"But the very thing you hate, is the same thing that makes Britannia strong." C.C. said. "And if the Regime's little members are the ones who aid Britannia what it is now, then it seems they too embody that same philosophy. The one most fit to rule, is the one left standing."

"Exactly." Lelouch said as his voice lowered to a growl. "The weak ones are cast aside, while the strong thrive. Britannia is that kind of nation!"

"Survival of the fittest is the most basic rule of all." C.C. said.

"If that's true then what happens to Nunnally?!" Lelouch exclaimed as he slammed his suitcase closed. "Should I simply give up on my sister just because she's frail?! I refused to accept that! Britannia, Royal Regime, the Emperor, Argos I don't give a damn about either of them! I'll wipe out whoever promotes that sort of world myself! No matter what it takes!"

Lelouch was about to leave but looked in surprise to see C.C. blocking his way with a pistol pointed at him.

"You can't go Lelouch." C.C. insisted sternly. "You need to fulfil your part of our bargain so I won't have you dying before that!" "Notice that what you're saying and what you're doing are contradictory." Lelouch told her, considering she was pointing a gun at him.

"Oh I won't kill you. I'm merely going to shoot you in the leg to quiet you down." C.C. told him. Lelouch smirked. "Now I get it, you're unable to use Geass yourself, aren't you?" That comment caused C.C.'s eyes to shake slightly.

"I'm surprised though… that why haven't you formed a contract with Luke." That caused C.C.'s eyes to widen. "Or Leia. Or Han. Why me? Is it because of the terms of your contract? Your wish?"

That made C.C.'s eyes narrowed. "I see. There's more to it. And I'm the only one you need to make it happen. Unless…" He pulled from his shirt a gun of his own and aimed at her.

C.C. looked on amused. "Do you honestly think you can threaten me with a gun?"

"Yes, I do." Lelouch aimed the gun at his head, causing C.C. to frown. Lelouch had put her at a disadvantage.

"Until I met both you and Luke on that exact day I was dead." Lelouch said, looking unafraid of the fact of pulling the trigger on himself. "An impotent corpse exists behind a false guise of life. A life in which I did nothing real. Day to day, I merely went through the motions of living, as if I were a zombie, and I always had the feeling that I was gradually dying. If I'm condemned to go back to that, then I'd rather…"

"Stop it!" C.C. said as she lowered her gun, and so Lelouch lowered his after. "I see now it's a life without meaning. And a life like that…"

The immortal looked down, her words causing her to reminisce a constant feeling she always had. A pain that invoked her he was just as arrogant just as HE was.

She could still hear the screams as she saw herself in a burning home with millions of people dead and someone in the room holding a lightsaber as it's blue blade shined through the burning home next to some other warriors besides them as the silhouette's smirk at C.C and said in a distorted voice holding out his hand with a sinister smirk.

"JOIN MY RIGHTEOUS CAUSE ****!"

Before she snapped out of the memory from her jigsaw past.

Saitama Ghetto

Regime Troopers along with several Britannian foot soldiers and a few tanks continued to march through the empty Saitama ghetto. They continued to march as they looked around the area for any sign of a terrorist group twenty minutes pass and they discover nothing after completely. Sweeping the environment it was almost a ghost town at this point

"Sector 2 is completely clear, no sign of the enemy." "Sector 4 reporting in, it's all empty. No terrorists or civilians of any kind." "Vulture pack reporting on our side of the sector is simply empty, not a single person is here sir!"

"This is odd." Argus' eyes narrowed slightly at the sudden news from the troops. "Yes, you would have thought we would have seen something by now." Guilford agreed.

"But how is this possible? An entire ghetto population just can't vanish overnight!" One of the Shinjuku officers exclaimed.

PROXY's eyes began to glow as he was scanning the area until he said.

"They are all indeed correct. I am only detecting our troopers' life force but no other signatures; it's most likely the Jedi and their allies may have evacuated the area prior to our arrival most likely to prevent the same thing that happened to Shinjuku!" Proxy said.

"That's impossible." Guilford stated as he glared at the droid while pointing at him. "All personnel here have been sworn to secrecy! This plan wasn't leaked to the media until recently!"

PROXY simply shoved his hand away and then said. "True but however I noticed a small flaw in your little strategy. Call it a pattern: your forces eliminated all the resistance groups surrounding the settlement, not just to stomp out terrorism, but to eliminate any possible sanctuary for the Rebellion or for Zero. Once you have discovered they had not gone there, you closed in on the largest resistance group within the settlement, knowing that the enemy was still hiding nearby. And it's more than likely our Jedi enemies have as well."

"You figured that out all by yourself?" Cornelia asked with a raised eyebrow. PROXY nodded and said. "Correct perhaps you have underestimated Luke Skywalker's skills just like when you underestimated the Jedi F and Lop when they made their debut!"

Darlton growled as he looked at Cornelia. "Should we fall back then, your majesty? It might be the best course of-" He asked his princess before getting cut off.

"No." Cornelia insisted. "I could honestly care less about some measly Elevens. But if Zero and his Jedi puppets went to all this effort, then I can only assume that they are simply waiting for me somewhere inside the ghetto. What do you think, Argus?" She directed her gaze to the Royal Regime's master and said.

"Most likely since you're their target after all Jedi don't flee from fights like these so victory might be in sight for you!" Cornelia smirked not even worried at all and then said.

"Send in the Knightmares. Flush them out." "As you wish." Darlton then began to order all their soldiers. "Attention all forces! Commence eradication of the Saitama ghetto!"

With that one order, all Knightmares were deployed from the mobile base as they and all surrounding Knightmares and soldiers from around the perimeter began to invade the ghetto. They opened fire and began to destroy multiple buildings in an attempt to flush out the enemy.

Argus then said to a hologram of a trooper wearing a hazmat outfit made to withstand fire. "Captain Katarn Captain Furnace you may begin your attack!"

Katarn salutes Argus as Furnace chuckles. "I'm gonna enjoy seeing the flesh burn from their bodies AHAHAH!" PROXY leaves the room to meet up with Julius in the hanger bay.

"I don't understand. Why doesn't Princess Cornelia order us to attack as well?!" Jeremiah questioned.

"She won't because 'Orange' is here." Kewell spoke in disgust towards Jeremiah. "Just be thankful you haven't been disposed of. You're to blame for this, it's due to you that our careers are over!"

"You're wrong!" Jeremiah exclaimed as his eyes shook with fury and frustration. "It was the Jedi they waved their hand around and I was under their spell!"

Villetta said to herself. "Skywalker…" She then thought again about the two boys from Shinjuku. And how familiar they looked. One black-haired the other blonde could it be…

"Spare me your excuses!" Kewell said. "All thanks to you… our careers are tarnished and so is my family's name!"

PROXY appeared and said with honesty in his voice."You meat-bags have only yourselves to blame for your current state of affairs. You framed an innocent human being while allowing the real criminals to escape. If I was in charge of the Purebloods I'd have you all fired for incompetence and maybe worse executed!"

"How dare you!" Kewell exclaimed to the droid. "You dare to doubt our loyalty?!" PROXY nodded as his eyes glowed and said in a serious voice. "ALWAYS! I have my eyes on all of you as does the entire Regime. If you excuse me I have to go see Lord Julius!"

PROXY leaves the completely shocked Pure-bloods there as they were left with no words as the droid arrives to see Julius working on a Sutherland

"You wish to see me, my lord?" Julius nodded. "Indeed I did PROXY, it's most likely Zero's going to use this Sutherland so I'm decided rig it with a homing device linked to my flagship!"

"Shouldn't you have told Cornelia about this my lord? This could be useful in finding Zero in the haystack."Julius shook his head with a scowl. "A bitch like her doesn't need to know after all she's too prideful trust me even I knew that when I was just a boy back in Pendragon!" PROXY nodded as he jumped into the cockpit of the mech.

Once you find Zero in the crowd, give up the Sutherland and the homing beacon will track his movements. I can't wait to see the look on my brother's face when I play him like a fiddle!" "As you command Lord Julius!" PROXY said giving a thumbs up as he took on a Knightmare pilot disguise and went off into battle.

Luke and Lelouch observe the destruction of the settlement from a destroyed building Luke then said "It's a good thing we managed to get everyone out of the settlement. It pains me to see how these monsters enjoy such pain and violence!"

"It's always the same." Lelouch said. "Cornelia replaces Clovis, yet Britannia never changes. I doubt it ever will." Luke then questioned Lelouch "Then what about Suzaku could he change?"

"With someone like my father in power, changing Britannia for the better is all but impossible." Lelouch said as he began to climb his way towards the upper level. "I'll contact you and the others once I get a Knightmare!"

Luke nodded as he brought out his lightsaber from his belt. "Got it!" He zooms off as Lelouch then made his move disguised a soldier just as he wanted. In less than a few seconds, a Sutherland shot its slash harken to pull itself up on the same level as him. "What unit are you from? Your unit name and ID soldier!" The pilot demanded, falling for Lelouch's disguise.

"I'm Redario Torez sir, with the Third Reconnaissance Company." Lelouch lied as he pulled out a random data disk he got from his room. "I obtained this item from one of the terrorists. Could I please ask you to send it to headquarters for me, sir?"

The pilot opened his Knightmare's hatch and stood up. "A disk, huh? Well I still need to verify your ID first."

Lelouch smirked. "Right, understood." He activated his Geass. "But before we do that sir, I'd like to borrow your Sutherland, so hand it over." The pilot secretly smirked and said pretending to follow the order as his eyes changed to red to fool the person attempting to use his Geass. "Sure, no problem. Just take good care of it." "Thank you, I really appreciate it." Lelouch said as the entranced pilot stepped out, allowing Lelouch to step in. And left the scene however the guard said.

"No it is I who must thank you Zero!" PROXY said in both his voice and the guards voice with a smirk.

Lelouch then brought out his comlink saying. "Luke do you copy this is Zero.." Luke reptiles with "Loud and clear! Everyone is prepared."

"Right. All groups report in." Zero ordered.

"Alpha team standing by!" Lop said as she had a good grip on a her lightsaber as she was with Kallen, Chewie and Han

"Beta team's at the ready!" Leia replied as she was with Tamaki and Asami

"Delta team standing by!" Oghi replied as he stood by some spare evac shuttles in case for a quick getaway.

Luke jumped onto a ruined building "We are ready to proceed on your mark, Zero." Zero nodded.

Matrix troopers were looking as one of them said. "Ugh this sucks so far we haven't seen any kind of action today and here I was hoping to jump in guns blazing!" The other trooper said sighed as he shook his head.

"You always like going in guns blazing. I prefer sneak attacks with cool rifles and silencers. I'm also planning to join in the Assassin trooper initiative I passed with flying colours. As soon as I finish this patrol I'm wearing some new threads!"

The other one gasped and said happy for him as he playfully punched him. "No way Assassin trooper way to go dude so proud of you!" The two laugh until they hear a voice. "Hey ya fellas!" They looked to see Han standing there with a smirk and said. "I seem to have been cut off from my squad. Could you help me find it? I'm sure it was at the Viceroy's base."

"Cut off from the squad, you don't look like a trooper, you're not a matrix trooper and you don't seem like any other trooper!" The other one then said cautiously raising his blaster. "What's your ID soldier?" Han said with a smirk.

"Simple, I shot first!" The Matrix troopers were confused as they both said. "I shot first?" Han quickly on the draw then shot the first Matrix trooper right in the head. "JERRY NO!" Before the other one could quickly shoot Han it was to late as the smuggler killed him as that got the attention of the other troops over the coms.

Troopers down!" "They got Jerry!" The other voice sounded dramatic and sad "They killed Jerry?!" "THEY KILLED JERRY!"

Sutherlands came charging at Han for killing those troopers but however he had a smug grin as he points behind him right as Lop came charging in slashing a Sutherland apart as another charging at the Jedi until it was crushed by Kallen in her knightmare and then to Cheiwe who threw a grenade onto the Sutherland's head as the cockpit exploded killing the pilot.

Lelouch smirked inside his Sutherland as it stood at the top of one building. He observed the radar on his screen. "Now, shall I drag Cornelia out or make an opening?" He asked himself before accessing communications. "Beta Team, move in now!"

Leia shouted as she blasted a soldier of Brititiania "Push them back!" The troops of the Yamato alliance cheered as they began shooting at the enemy soldiers.

Asami was blocking bullet and blaster bolts from incoming Glide packers and Britiiania soldiers and then charged at them easily slashing them down as their limbs fell to the ground.

An Executioner trooper scoffed knowing how weak the soldiers were on killing one simple Jedi as he went over to a tank as he lifted the hatch and tossed the soldier aside as they screamed as they targeted Asami.

But however Tamaki came charging in on a sutherland as he crushes it with ease.

"Oh yeah, take that sucker!"

"Alpha Team, advance forward! Keep in mind of the enemy aircraft!" Zero instructed.

Kallen shot her Glasgow's slash harkens from behind cover to take down an enemy as she covered Lop's rear as she took out some Britannia soldiers and some Pyro troopers.

Chewie and Han find cover as they see Martaix troopers moving in fast from every direction to their position Han then sees Chewies crossbow and said.

"Hey, can I have a try?" Chewie nodded saying yes as Han held it as he targeted the troops and then pulled the trigger as it created a massive explosion as the troops were sent flying even screaming.

"Oh I like this thing!" Han said with a smirk knowing why Chewie always enjoyed using the crossbow.

"Luke incoming you have a large unit and a bunch of Pyro Troopers & Glide Packers coming at ya!"

Luke spies the Glider packers landing seeing them as he turns on his lightsaber and blocks their blaster bolts and then slashed them as they fall to the ground even slashed some of their jetpacks sending them flying.

Pyro troopers charged at Luke as they ignited their flamethrowers Luke gasped as he took cover from the flames as he dashed away from the incoming flames and appeared behind and slashed their backpacks as the flames ended up killing the pyromaniacs.

Luke then sees a tank then fires a rocket at Luke but however he uses the force to stop it in its tracks and send it back into the tank as it exploded as the Jedi walked away without even looking back.

Kyle heard many channels from across the map from the other troopers even saw an explosion from not far away;

"We got a lot of men down here, Captain taking a lot of casualties!" "The Jedi are breaking through our ranks and the Yamato clan was spotted helping them!" "Enemy sighted in Sector G-47!"

"We have confirmation! It's the Jedi. We also have visuals of some man, a woman and some furry creature aiding them likely members of the rebel group!" "The enemy is using Sutherlands captured from our own forces."

"Seems the tide of the battle shifts in our foes' favour!" Argus comments as he was with Julius and Cornelia in the G1 base before the viceroy then gave a command to calm the chaos.

"That's enough." Cornelia broke her silence. "Order all troops to fall back. Further damage in casualties serves no point."

"Fall back?!" One of Clovis' former officers questioned. "With all due respect, we can still fight!" Another officer exclaimed. "We can't fight them like this." Cornelia stated to them.

Julius nodded and said, folding his arms. "Yes indeed, something we both agree on for once in our lives!" Cornelia scoffed and said with venom in her voice.

"This coming from a blackmailer!" Julius chuckles as he glares at her with something of a nasty smirk. "Oh come now viceroy your little sister still lives because you gave up your little investigation on the empress's death. Be grateful you did!"

Cornelia growled as she scratched the chair she in rage as she would want nothing but to strangle this man for blackmailing her but however she couldn't due to many witness in the room.

"All forces fall back behind the ghetto perimeter at once!" Darlton ordered. "Formation doesn't matter! Fall back behind the ghetto perimeter at once!"

Lelouch heard the order from his stolen Sutherland and smirked triumphantly. "What? No stomach for it? If I blend in with the retreating units, that'll put me right next to Cornelia. Have I cleared the task at hand already?"

He contacted the rest of his forces. "All teams stand by, the enemy is falling back. Await further orders."

"Did you guys hear that? Cornelia's falling back!" One rebel exclaimed victoriously through the comns. "Yeah, take that you Britannian bitch!" Tamaki exclaimed.

"Heh so much for the goddess of victory." Han comments however Leia, Oghi, Asami and Luke however all wondered why she was doing that as they knew something didn't feel right call it a gut instinct.

C.C sat on Lelouch's bed holding what appeared to be a phone "Yes I understand that I have to watch over him since you don't want either of them falling to the dark side just like how HE did but why can't you visit him or even Nunally since you're their mother for Pete's sake!"

C.C then frowns as she heard a mumble from the device as she then said. "I understand but sometimes being a parent is better than being a Jedi!" C.C then said "I understand just do your best to stay safe if anyone from that wretched Empire belonging to your crazy ex or those from the Regime discover your Jedi Temple then you'll be in trouble!" She turns off the device off as she sighs knowing hiding the truth about who she really was exhausting and looks at Zero's uniform.

"I see, so Lulu lived here before this became Area 11. Was he a neighbour?" Shirley asked Suzaku as he tried to get Arthur to play with a toy, but the cat paid Suzaku no mind.

"Well, you could say that." Suzaku answered, not revealing any important details. "And what about you, Shirley?" Rai asked as he sat down near her. "Yeah, how long have you known 'Lulu'?"

"Well…" Shirley tried to find an answer to that question. "I met him here during our freshman year, but honestly I didn't really like him at first. He had this indifferent impression and the only thing he worked hard at was avoiding hard work. But early in our first year, I happened to see him come upon a traffic accident."

"Traffic accident?" Rai asked as he and Suzaku listened to her.

"A driver rear-ended another car and was clearly at fault, but he tried to blame it on the elderly owners of the other car. Nobody tried to help them, and then Lelouch got up and walked over to a nearby tow-truck waiting at the red light and attached its tow cable to the angry driver's car. Once the light turned green, the tow-truck drove off with the angry driver's car and dragged it along the road, breaking it down even further."

Suzaku looked in surprise while Rai just laughed at it. "Seriously?!" He continued to laugh. "Wow, I wish I could have seen that!"

Shirley had a slight smile as she actually found it pretty funny too. "Lulu didn't do it so he could boast to his buddies or laugh about it later, he did it with the same bored-expression he always wears. And that's when I wondered 'what's up with this guy? What goes on in his mind? What does he want to do?' I really wanted to know and in the process of finding out…"

Suzaku smiled. "You fell in love with him." Shirley blushed. "Um… you think that's what this is? Maybe you're right."

"Well I mean it's kinda obvious, I had a feeling that was the case." Rai said, surprising Shirley. "I mean you even call him 'Lulu', that's kind of a dead give away." He chuckled slightly, causing Shirley's face to turn red.

From outside the council room, Milly happened to hear the whole exchange and smiled a bit for Shirley. "How dreamy it is to be in love." Her smile faded. "Oh how I wish…"

Lelouch used his stolen Sutherland to slip into a retreating unit as they proceeded towards Cornelia's mobile base. He thought he had this in the bag as he smirked victoriously.

"Cornelia, you're no match. You'll lose."

Cornelia smirked from her throne. "Zero and the Jedi clearly underestimate me if they look like I'll go down like that!"

Most of Clovis' former officers looked on in surprise, while Darlton remained unsurprised "Of course, that's why they call Princess Cornelia the Goddess of Victory." Said 'Goddess' turned her gaze towards her youngest knight. "Shall we go then, Guilford my Knight?"

He bowed to her. "It is my pleasure to serve and obey you, my lady." Julius then said "Very soon this will be our checkmate!"

Lelouch appeared to be close to his victory as his Sutherland was with all the others literally right under Cornelia's nose, just a few feet away from her personal transport.

"Even with my Geass, the normal security leaves it too risky for me to simply stroll in. I guess I'll need to create an opening like I did with Clovis."

He then felt his cell phone vibrate and looked in minor surprise at the caller ID.

"Student Council Room? But I thought the cat festival meeting was scheduled for tomorrow."

Ashford Academy - Student Council Room

Suzaku was on the phone trying to get into contact with Lelouch while Rai and Shirley both sat down with Arthur sleeping on the cat-tree.

"I know Kallen said I had it all wrong, but it seemed like she was getting set up in order to fool me." Shirley said.

"I don't think Kallen is that shallow." Rai tried to tell her. "I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding."

"Which is why in this case it's best to simply ask Lelouch directly." Suzaku said as he held the phone. "On your behalf, I can ask him how he feels about you."

Rai looked in surprise while Shirley's face turned red. "What?! You'd really do that?!"

"Uh Suzaku I don't really think we should pry into her life!" Rai didn't like the idea either as it seemed a bit too personal.

"Just relax, it'll be fine…" But Shirley quickly came up and snatched the phone from him. "Are you nuts?! No way!" She shouted as she dramatically hung up the phone.

Lelouch saw the call ended before he could answer and paid it no mind.

Suzaku tried to pick up the phone again as he tried to smile. "Oh come on, let me handle this for you. I'll be discreet…" "I don't want your help! Okay!?" Shirley shouted with her face being redder than a flower bush

Rai tried to come in between them. "Suzaku, if she doesn't want your help, then she doesn't want it. Let's just…" As he tried to separate them, his foot tripped on the phone's wire causing him to trip and stumble onto both Shirley and Suzaku, the scuffle knocking down the cat tree and upsetting Arthur a great deal.

"Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't…" Rai then realised that he was actually on top of Shirley on the ground, their faces less-than-an inch apart as her eyes shook. But they were quickly pulled out of it as they heard Suzaku grunting in pain and turned to see Arthur biting down on his hand.

"Uh oh. Does that hurt much…?" Shirley asked him. "Greatly."

Saitama

Lelouch saw Guilford in his Gloucester and a few other Glaston Knights depart from the mobile base as he smirked. "You're desperate Cornelia, using your royal guard in such a manner."

He opened his communications again. "Beta team, re-engage their IFF signal, operate as a Britannian unit."

"Got it," Tamaki responded.

"As my decoy." Lelouch thought to himself.

Leia then realised Cornelia's scheme knowing the reason why she chose not to battle this whole thing was a trap set by her! Seeing Leia quickly brings out her com-link saying. 

"Tamaki, leave your Sutherland active, but exit the Knightmare at once!"

"What?! Are you serious?!" Hearing Tamaki's voice on her side Leia nodded saying "I am serious!" Luke then said "You think this whole thing was a set up?"

Leia nodded. "Yeah I won't sacrifice our own men for this we need to get the evac shuttles right now!" Han then said from his side.

You got it princess Chewie and I will get the engines running!"

Darlton and the other officers saw the signal being transmitted by the active-but-abandoned Knightmare, though they didn't know it was empty at the moment.

"One Knightmare left transmitting an IFF signal within the city area." Darlton reported. "Can't you contact it?" One officer asked. "Scramble a rescue team!"

"No, destroy it." Cornelia ordered, much to the surprise of a few of the officers, but not to Argus, Julius or Darlton.

"You can't!" "He might be a captive of the enemy!"

"I ordered all troops to fall back." Cornelia instructed. "I have no use for soldiers who can't follow my orders." "You heard the princess." Darlton agreed.

"Do your duty. Even if it costs your life" Cornelia pressed. "My subordinates follow that code without question."

Tamaki just got out of the Sutherland and spies the evac shuttle as he meets up with Han and Chewie near a shuttle as he said. "Are you sure it's a trap? Maybe the princess is paranoid!" Han shook his head. "I know Leia and sometimes it always pays to be right!"

In less than a second, they spotted Guilford leading his Glaston Knight squad as they gunned for the empty Sutherland. They didn't even try contacting the supposed pilot as they pierced their spears into it from all sides, reducing the Sutherland to a pile of scrap metal in less than a second.

"Whoa, whoa, what the hell was that?! They'd kill their own guy?!" Tamaki questioned. Han scoffed. "Almost like the Empire we're familiar with now, get onboard!"

Asami nodded and said from her evac shuttle seeing it from afar. "Agreed and it's better to fall back now and come up with a plan for later than going in blindly!" Kallen wanted to stay and fight but had to agree with a nod to the Jedi Knight.

Lelouch's smirk vanished and his face was evident with shock as he heard Leia's order on retreating. "What?!"

"Zero, we're retreating! This whole thing was a trap so I suggest you get out of your Sutherland around now before you do something reckless!" Leia said on the coms Lelouch growled and said.

"What?! NO! I can't fall back! I'm right in front of Cornelia-" "This isn't up to debate Zero end of discussion!"

Leia then said to Artoo as she was with Luke "Artoo cut off Lelouch's communications at once." Artoo beeps in worry as he looks at her but however Leia shook her head saying to the droid.

"No we're not leaving him behind but however we can't afford two separate orders creating chaos, allowing Cornelia's forces to take advantage of it! We'll come back for him later, cut him off!"

Artoo, with a great deal of reluctance, decides to cut off Lelouch's communications from everyone else just as they heard a familiar voice over the comns.

So, he ended up doing something stupid after all, I warned him but he didn't listen." Luke said in shock.

"C.C?! How did you get this frequency!?" C.C said smirking on her side. "Simple Tdee gave it to me in case I was in trouble but besides that whatever plan you have to save Lelouch's ass I'll be there after all someone needs to be Zero's double!"

Leia nodded saying. "Very well we'll send Artoo to your location!" She then turns off the comlink as Luke then said to Leia. "Then I'll head off to do my part of the plan!"

Oghi then said from his shuttle. "Will you be fine Luke?" Luke nodded and said "I will be Oghi just get your folks to ghetto I'll handle the rest!"

"Luke, Leia, Han, anyone please respond!?" Lelouch cried on his comlink but got nothing. "What did…Did they abandon me?! Asami, Leia and even Luke have you all really abandoned me?! This isn't how the game is supposed to go!"

"Mission complete!" A citywide announcement broadcasted from Cornelia's mobile base. "All forces that take formation number four."

Lelouch saw that he was completely surrounded, he had only just now realised that he just walked right into the lion's den.

"

As usual your need for victory blinds you Lelouch!" Julius said to himself knowing who that pilot was and expressed disappointment as he shook his head

Cornelia then said "This didn't work out the way it did in Shinjuku, I didn't capture any of your Jedi minions but perhaps their retreat is only a distraction, so that you may sneak in disguised as one of us as we lower our guard. Sorry, that may have worked on Clovis, but I'm not so easily fooled." She then began to announce her next order over her mobile base's speaker.

"Attention all Knightmare pilots! Open your hatches and reveal your faces! I repeat, all pilots open your hatches and show me your faces!"

Soldiers of Britannia, Glide Packers, Matrix Troopers, Executioner and Pyro troopers had just surrounded the Sutherland PROXY then drops his disguise as Lelouch gasped in horror to see the pilots true form he was played from the start no wonder why he was giving the Sutherland so easily.

"We have Zero right where we want him, he has nowhere to go!" Lelouch is panicking thinking of a strategy.

"What should I do?! If she gets me in a lineup without my mask, my identity will be exposed! That mustn't happen! Use my Geass? No, impossible! It won't work unless I look directly at them, and most of them are either Matrix, Executioner and even Pyro troopers here, it won't work on them at all! How do I turn this around?! Maybe I can start shooting and break my way out of here! Impossible considering the amount of enemy troopers standing here!"

"Hey pilot, open your hatch at once!" He turned his attention to Kyle on the monitor. "We know you can hear us, we can do this the easy way or we can do it the hard way!" "I'm sorry…I can't!" Lelouch desperately tried. "My hatch was damaged in battle!"

The captain of the Pyro troopers Furnace chuckled and said. "Good I was hoping we'd go the hard way, troopers prepare to fry the cockpit and liberate the pilot!"

Pyro troopers nodded as they started to ignite their flamethrowers. Lelouch's face paled. "This is it… I'm done for!" He closed his eyes and waited for the inevitable end. "Nunnally!"

"CORNELIA!" Lelouch came out of his dazed fear, and in shock at the voice yelling out the name of the sister who had beaten him at his own game. That voice was…

"Who was that?" Cornelia said, baffled, as she and everyone inside were taken aback by the voice that called out her name.

"Princess!" Guilford contacted her. "It came from up there!"

Guilford in his Gloucester pointed with his lance at the source of the voice, where it appeared to be a young man in a robe, standing at the top of a ruined building. Guilford adjusted the monitor to get a good look at the man. He zoomed in on the image to see it was a young man with a fair face and blonde hair…

"Ugh!" Guilford gaped. "It can't be!" "Looks like Skywalker has entered the fray!" Argus comments with a small smirk on his face as if pleased with it.

Back on the battlefield Luke then jumps down from the building and points to Cornelia from far away. "CORNELIA LI BRITANNIA!" That caused most of them inside to baulk back a bit at his tone. "DO YOU HEAR ME?!"

"I see," Cornelia smirked. "He wants to speak to me." "Viceroy?" Darlton questioned. Cornelia went to the microphone and spoke.

"I hear you, Luke Skywalker!" Cornelia's voice echoed from the G1 Base to where Luke was standing. "You have my attention, now. Have you come to surrender?"

"No!" Said the Jedi as he shouted. "I challenge you to a one and one duel! No Kightmares just physical combat.." Lelouch gasped in total shock "Luke!"

Guilford shouted. "The nerve to disrespect the viceroy all units prepare to open fire!" "DELAY THAT ORDER!"

With that command from Cornelia, no one made a move or sound to attack. Though all the Regime troopers and Britannian forces kept their weapons trained on Luke if the Jedi was gonna try anything funny as Cornelia then said on the monitor.

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I just heard you challenging me to a duel Luke skywalker." Luke nodded and said "Indeed I did!" If Luke could see Cornelia's face right now, it would be one of arrogance and pride.

"Well then Skywalker it would seem you have courage and l hate to respect that . But, I question your intelligence. You are completely surrounded by my entire royal guard and the Royal Regime's forces, all of whom are ready to fight and die for Britannia without hesitation. And while you might be able to take out a few of them with your little light sword, there is no way for you to fend them all off. So tell me why I would give you the luxury of a duel when I can simply order your execution right here and now?"

Luke scoffed and said. "Are you truly not the Goddess of Victory?" Cornelia shouted not liking that tone of voice. "WHAT WAS THAT?!" The Jedi didn't stop there with his insults

"You endangered countless innocent civilians, all to simply draw us out. Your coward of a brother Clovis attempted the same thing, hiding behind his own soldiers while he ordered the deaths of countless men, women, and even children in Shinjuku, all to cover a mistake he made. If that doesn't count as cowardice, then I don't know what does."

Cornelia narrowed her eyes as she practically gritted her teeth. Julius chuckled to himself thinking it was funny.

"Viceroy, don't be fooled by this scum, he is only trying to provoke you!" Darlton advised her. PROXY however said. "Negative I think this is getting good!"

Luke then said. "if you truly do wish to uphold yourself as a warrior, then you will accept my challenge without a thought of hesitation. And if you desire a reason to accept it, then I propose a wager between us."

"What sort of wager are we speaking about here?" Cornelia questioned. "If I am to win, then you will vow as a member of the Royal Family that you will not endanger innocent civilians ever again! Be they Japanese, Britannian, or any other nationality!" Am then said almost surprised to hear while Julius just smirked.

"Britannian'…?" Darlton questioned in a low tone. "Does he seriously believe we'd attack our own people!?""How dare this bastard insult Princess Cornelia!" One officer exclaimed. "He should be executed at once!" Their ranting however was cut off as Cornelia shot her arm towards them to silence them as she addressed. "And should I emerge the victor what do I get out of it?"

Luke simply smirked as if he was a cat playing with a mouse as he threw his arms to the sides. "That's simple I give up the true identity of Zero and I surrender myself without a fight.."

Lelouch gasped that Luke was willing to throw away his identity to Cornelia?! Before he could question any further, he felt a vibration on his phone and answered it.

"If I were you, I would use this sweet time to get your sorry bum out of there!" Lelouch gasped. "Han?!" "Who else your grandma?" Han wise-cracked to him.

Cornelia then said through the speakers. "You would willingly give up Zero's identity that easily?"

Luke smirked and said to her. "Accept my terms, and maybe you will find out if I speak the truth." Before Cornelia could answer, Darlton tried to speak. "Your majesty, this could simply be an act to lure you into an ambush! I would not accept this challenge!"

"It could be a trap, your highness!" Guilford agreed over the communications as he was still in his own Gloucester outside. "We can destroy him right here and now!"

"Giving up Zero's identity seems fishy. What if he's lying?" Julius then said Argus then said. "He could be but Jedi aren't good at deceiving people it's not in their nature!" Cornelia heard all their advice and smirked. "All forces stand down at once and that goes from all Regime troopers in the area!" She ordered before addressing Luke "Very well Skywalker I accept your challenge and I look forward to winning it."

All of the troopers, soldiers and Knightmares lower their weapons from Skywalker as Luke directed his gaze upwards at the mobile base once more.

"We will meet fifty kilometres west of here. I will be waiting for you." Luke then begins walking away however someone saw this as an opportunity not to waste.

"Hold it Skywalker I wish to throw my hat into this little ring you made with the viceroy!" Argus said to Luke though the speakers seeing this as a chance to see what the Jedi could do in action.

Luke stopped and said. "Very well what is your agreement Argus who you will send to fight me?"

"I volunteer Karre though he lacks a killing instinct for battle like Am he's a force to be reckoned with as he had once vanquished the leader of the Kozuki resistance cell!" Argus said as he placed a hand on Karre's shoulder as the chosen person then nodded. "And if you win I'll even throw in something special for defeating him and the Viceroy!"

"Very well then, I'll accept your terms leader of the Royal Regime!" Luke said as he kept on walking as one Matrix Trooper looked at Luke and that was Kyle Katarn who almost respected the Jedi for his heroics and bravery as Luke retreated, no one noticed the empty Sutherland that the disguised Lelouch left as he slipped into a ruined building not far from the area. After climbing over some debris, he spotted Artoo and CC standing wearing his own Zero outfit as well, complete with his mask.

Why did you do that?" Lelouch questioned them Artoo beeped at C.C telling her he wasn't thankful C.C scoffed and said. "Well of course he's not grateful!"

"You cut off communications with me and leave me out to dry, then just waltz right in and challenge Cornelia without even-!" Lelouch was about to yell at Artoo then brought out his zapper and zapped him. "OW HEY!" Lelouch yelled as Artoo who had enough of hearing him argue zapped him.

C.C then said pointing to him. "Now's not the time for that! Don't worry we will be talking about this later! As of right now the evac shuttles have arrived at Shinjuku, getting ready for the show while the others have returned to the falcon to also watch so stay here and don't do anything funny!" C.C then puts the Zero mask back on as she walks into the daylight leaving Lelouch with Artoo.

0 minutes later

Luke stood in the middle of the settlement as he saw the soldiers saw a large group of Knightmares roll onto the area before coming to a halt one hundred metres away from young Skywalker at the very edge of the 'arena'.

These included multiple Glide packers, Matrix, Pyro and Executioner troopers followed by Sutherlands, including the Purebloods being held in the very back of the pack, and many Gloucesters as well, including both Guilford and Darlton in their own personal Knightmares. At the front of the pack was Cornelia standing alongside Karre wearing his armour and helmet.

Luke then spies that Cornelia is holding a sword but it wasn't any sword it was a Beskad a sword made out of the same material Boba Fett's armour is made out of.

However hiding in the shadows Artoo was broadcasting was recording and broadcasting the footage from his optics and transmitting them the falcon as Tdee transmitted that frequency to a large television in the hideout for the rebels in Shinjuku as they, including Kallen, Ohgi, and Tamaki, watched with interest.

uke then brought his lightsaber ready to turn it on as he glared at his foes.

Cornelia saw afar that 'Zero' was present as well, she really wanted to get her hands on him for what happened to Clovis. But right now, she has a duel to win.

Argus on the other hand knew who it was under the mask but decided to say nothing but smirk at 'Zero' "Soldiers of Britannia, listen closely!" Cornelia began to announce to her soldiers, including the the Royal Regime's military.

"This battle is mine and mine alone! You will not interfere! Is that understood?!" "Yes your majesty!" All the soldiers, including Guilford and Darlton, all exclaimed at once.

"Indeed, the battle is yours, we're just here to watch the entertainment .." Argus replied with a small smile as Captain Galo's squad of Glide packers began cheering for Karre on.

"Go Karre!" "You go, Lord Karre!" "Show this Jedi what you're made of!" Karre chuckles nervously as he waves back even PROXY and Kyle get a good chuckle out of this.

With that declaration Cornelia and Karre began slowly walk into the battlefield as Luke began walking towards the centre as well. They slowly came towards the centre before stopping twenty metres away from each other. Waiting for the other to make the first move.

"Before we begin Skywalker I must ask you a question.." Cornelia said to Luke as he allowed her to speak. "Why do you fight for these measly Elevens? With all the power you possess, you should have sided with us. With all our power combined we could easily control this world."

Luke then said. "You believe that those with power should use it to oppress others simply because you view them all as weak?" Cornelia smugly replied. "Indeed!"

Luke shook his head and said. "I'm afraid I have to refuse that offer because the reason I stand with them is why I side with them. You may view them as mere 'numbers', but they think and feel the same way both you and I do. I defend the weak and helpless and help get them true justice for what their foes have done to them for I stand as a Jedi just as my father did before me."

Cornelia questioned with a scoff. "I never realised just how foolishly idealistic you were since you believe that the Jedi can bring order to this planet. It's a law of nature: the strong survive while the weak always perish beneath our feet. That's how it is and how it always will be."

Luke then said. "Hmph! For animals with wild desires maybe but you are an intelligent being, and with Britannia's resources in your control, your nation could use them to help those less fortunate than you, not oppress them. But however you choose this path, you aren't forced onto it, it's a choice. If you truly wish to be a true leader Cornelia, then stray from your father's path of destruction and death, and lead Britannia towards peace, fight against him not for him!"

Cornelia's eyes twitched slightly as anger flashed in her eyes Karre on the other hand was impressed on how far Luke would go to fight injustice but then said. "Sadly I'm afraid talk is now cheap at this time it's time to battle and may the best man win!" Karre then brought out his lightsaber and turns it on as his red blade hummed.

"As you wish!" Luke replied taking out his lightsaber and turning it as it's blue blade also hummed Luke swung his weapon around a few times before assuming a battle stance as everything went silent.

"We'll take him together!" Karre said to Cornelia wanting to take the first move nice and slow on Luke but however Cornelia looked about ready to charge into battle. "You go slowly on the left and-" But however Cornelia shouted.

"I'M TAKING HIM NOW!" As she instantly charged at Luke as Karre yelled. "NO CORNELIA NO!" Luke then used the force to push Cornelia aside as Karre charged at Luke as their lightsabers clashed with each other even some of the soldiers were munching on some popcorn.

"You're not bad of a fighter!" Luke comments as his blade locked with his foes while looking Karre in the eyes who said with a small smile "And you as well Skywalker to bad we're enemies we could be very good friends!" Luke nodded at.

Karre attempted to take out Luke's legs but the young Jedi jumped over the blade elbowed Karre in the face breaking a bit of his helmet as Luke could see his eye just then Corenlia came charging at Luke as the young Jedi dodged an incoming attack Luke and Cornelia's blades clashed as sparks flew before Luke kicked her back saying twirling his lightsaber as the Jedi taunts her.

"Princess Cornelia, you disappoint me!" Cornelia yelled as the Jedi was dodging some of her attacks before force pushing back and then blocking an attack from Karre from behind him.

"You could do better than that I think!" Luke replied as the Jedi and Sith acolyte spin back as they charged at each other blocking each others attacks even using the force to block each others lightsaber attacks before jumping back.

Cornelia then brought out her gun and started shooting at Luke but however the Jedi saw it as Luke ran in the opposite direction from her and then did an acrobatic leap and then kicked Cornelia into the pavement resulting the Viceroy to gain a small nose bleed from the attack as she also dropped her gun.

Luke then dodged an attack from Karre as their sabres clashed as their blades flung over the place as the two spin their lightsabers at incredible speed one that could almost rival Vader and Obi-wan's battle on Mustafar.

"Ooh!" The Matrix troopers said in awe on how awesome this fight was. Both were dodging each other's attacks with grace and style as they even grabbed each other's hands and head butted each other Luke then slid and kicked Karrie's feet as he fell over.

Luke then focused on Cornelia who got back to her feet only this time she changed her sword arm to left instead of right as the two went back to fighting Cornelia as their weapons created sparks with each other she then swung her sword hand at Luke but the Jedi blocked it with the force but however brought out a pocket knife and slashed Luke's shirt resulting a small cut on his stomach as it started to bleed..

Cornelia then smirked as she then said. "Do you see that!?" She announced to her soldiers. "He bleeds! These Jedi aren't as mighty or invincible as they proclaim to be; they are vulnerable! And anything that's vulnerable can be killed!"

Luke then said annoyed with her as he got back to his feet. "Are you finished with your banter?" "What was that?" Cornelia questioned.

"You only managed to scratch me. Are you proud of this achievement?" Luke replied as if not fazed by it. "Oh you are going to get a lot more than just a scratch! Luke Skywalker, I will be your end!" She shouted Luke just simply scoffed at her doing a come and get me taunt at them.

Which worked as Cornliea roared at Luke as they blocked each other's attacks Karre then came charging in after getting back onto his feet as the three battled through the arena as sparks soared high and the crowd cheering at the entertainment before them while Argus, Julius, Am just watched intrigued by Luke's skills as a Jedi.

The young Jedi then saw a chance and then he disarmed Karre and then force pushed into a building knocking him out for the time being and then locked blades with Cornelia as she was struggling to push Luke back and then the Jedi made his move.

Luke lifted the blades upwards and then slashed a bit of Cornelia's shoulder with his lightsaber blade. "AHHHH!" The goddess of victory shrieked in pain but Luke was far from finished with her not just yet he had to burn this painful lesson into her thick headed skull.

Luke slashed her right eye as she fell to the ground as blood spilt on the ground. "Princess Cornelia!" Guilford shouted as Darlton's own eyes widened in surprise and in horror that the Jedi slashed out her right eye.

As Cornelia screamed in pain as she dropped to her knees dropping the Beskad and placing her hands over her right eye she looks at her eyeball that was cut out by the lightsaber as Luke then steps on the eyeball crushing it without a second chance but he didn't stop Luke as he force lifted the downed Cornelia back to her feet and then began slashing away at her arms, her legs and then her stomach and then finishing off with a force push into Karre as she felt to much pain.

The Britannian soldiers could not believe what they were seeing this with their own eyes.

Guiflord's eyes shook with shock. "No this this can't be possible…" He uttered. Darlton was equally shocked as he gripped the controls of his Knightmare hard. "Princess Cornelia has lost!"

Karre weakly panted as he looks at Luke and then to the beaten Cornelia as Luke said pointing his lightsaber.

"Do you surrender?" Karre silently nodded raising his hands up concealing from the match.

With that declaration the entire battlefield had been rendered silent. Lelouch couldn't believe what he had just seen, Luke knew exactly what to do and applied what force was necessary to win, and he didn't even kill her. He was a force to be reckoned with. C.C. had the same sort of thoughts as she couldn't help but give an impressed smile at the result of the Jedi could do it almost reminded her of someone else.

The forces of Britannia however were far from pleased. Guilford was completely speechless, while Darlton narrowed his eyes and gripped his controls so hard it felt as though his knuckles would have turned white. Jeremiah's jaw instantly hit the floor while Kewel's eyes shook beyond belief.

"Luke Skywalker defeated Princess Cornelia the Goddess of Victory. Like it was nothing!" Villetta thought in an equal amount of disbelief.

Pretty much every resistance fighter cheered at the top of his or her lungs as the Kozuki Resistance Cell and the Yamato Alliance just saw Luke's victory against the Goddess of victory.

"OH Hell yeah! Suck it Britannia!" Tamaki cheered with everyone else.

"That was amazing that he defeated not just Cornelia but he also defeated a member of the Royal Regime!" "He completely ripped her a new one!"

"How does Zero know these guys!" "Well they can sign me up! I'm definitely gonna work with these guys!" The only ones however not cheering or celebrating were Kallen and Ohgi as they were still quite shocked with the result. Though Kallen was the first to break silence.

"Luke won, he managed to do the impossible! He managed to beat Cornelia." Kallen uttered before a wide grin broke on her face. "He can beat them and if he can beat them, so can we!"

Cornelia couldn't believe it. She didn't want to believe it but she had to face reality she lost, for the very first time in her own life, she actually lost. She lost a real battle, a real duel. How was this even possible, she was the Goddess of Victory! The Pride of Britannia!

As her right eye was slashed out while her body was bleeding from everywhere and her legs and arms were unable to move due to the bones being broken in many places even her left arm stopped moving but most of all her pride was shattered as she had lost to a Jedi who stopped midway between them.

Cornelia snarled, able to see Luke with her left eye since her right eye was cut by the jedi, "Are you asking me to beg like a starving dog? Kill me, finish me you idiot!"

Luke glared at the woman until he turned off his lightsaber and put it back onto his belt and then said. "No I'm afraid I will not do such a deed!"

"You can't kill me or you won't kill me?!" Cornelia exclaimed as Luke said. "I choose to let you live with this humiliation and I have defeated you and Karre in combat fair and square so there's no point in me taking my opponents lives! As you have lost an eye in this battle and your body can no longer function."

Kyle on the sidelines felt impressed on Luke's kind heart even if they just met and were enemies no words were exchanged from him as Luke then said pointing to his defeated foes as was Karre.

"Now as part of our agreement to the terms from this day forward and forever more you all will no longer endanger any innocent civilians, regardless of their nationality! If you choose to wage war, then so be it, but it will remain solely between their soldiers."

Luke then looks at the soldiers as he keeps speaking as they all lended their eyes to the young Jedi. "And if any of you have any sense of loyalty or honour, then will you respect these terms as human beings?"

Guilford and Darlton glared at the Jedi, but they knew that was what they would do. Though they themselves did not make the agreement, their very own princess made it. So they still will follow it and they would no longer attack any civilians, even the Elevens living in the ghettos.

Argus simply clapped as he enjoyed the entertainment as he appeared to be holding a suitcase before showing it to the Jedi. "To the victor go the spoils!" He opened the case to Luke a suitcase and inside was Clone Trooper phase 1 armour and I mean real Clone Trooper armour Luke then took the suitcase and shook Argus's hand as the man then whispered.

"And do tell C.C I look forward to seeing her cute little face again!" Luke gasped on how Argos knew CC before he could ask him how he knew her Argos began to leave the scene as Julius, Am, Karre and PROXY leave the scene with their troops but not before Karre and Kyle looked at Luke one time finding a new found respect for the Jedi.

Luke then decided it was time for him to leave as well as he carried the suitcase with him.

"No!" Cornelia said very weakly, struggling to lift her right arm and shoot Luke with her pistol as she crawled over to it. "Come back here, our fight's not over yet, come back here and finish me grant me MY warriors death!"

Cornelia snarled as she was ready to pull the trigger but no bullets came out as the Jedi simply ignored her as he left the scene without even saying a word.

"SKYWALKER!"

Cornelia screamed developing an absolute hatred for the young Jedi as her scream echoed across the place.

Luke, CC, Artoo and Lelouch had returned to the falcon as CC took off Zero's mask and placed it aside Lelouch then noticed those present in the room giving him looks of disappointment and anger all directed at him.

"Well, well welcome back, your worships!" Han mockingly comments Lelouch then said

"Don't call me that!" Lelouch glared. "Or else what?" Han said with a smug smirk to him. "You're gonna use your little 'eye power' and make me, huh?"

Lelouch growled at the smuggler who. "Oh I would!" Chewie roared in anger saying no. "Oh, sure why not?" Han said. "I had a feeling you have been planning to do that once you set foot on my ship."

"Ever since I stepped onto this piece of junk you call a ship; you have been scoffing and treating me like a kid!" Lelouch growled in Han's face. "Well, I'm not! Okay!" Lop sighed and said to him. "Sorry Lelouch but you screwed up really big! You think just by winning one little battle you can take on Britannia and all that power of yours? You can't! We're supposed to be in this together!"

Lelouch shouted. "Shut up I don't need any lectures!" Leia scoffed and said to him. "I think you do! You may be a strategic genius Lelouch but how is it that you couldn't see that you were being drawn in!? It was because you let your pride get to you! You won a few battles and you have a power that no other human has, now you suddenly believe you can take on the entire Britannian Empire and win!? Any competent force learns from their mistakes, and it seems they have!"

Lelouch snapped, saying. "Shut up don't treat me like I'm some child in need of scolding and besides I wouldn't have lost if the conditions had been equal!"

Asami folded her arms and said. "I think you do and besides life's not a game your enemies will do everything in their power to cheat and rig the game in their favour just ask Argos and his regimers!" Artoo then beeps at Lelouch as Threepio said. "Artoo can offer some helpful data on how the Galactic empire battles…"

C.C then said. "Indeed I can't have you go and pull some reckless actions in battle Lelouch after all we are allies but you always seem to put yourself and your selfishness before your allies!"

Luke's eyes widened understanding what the green haired woman meant. "So that's why you decided not to retreat you were going after Cornelia all along. Weren't you?" "Luke, what are you talking about?" Han asked.

"This hasn't anything to do with beating the Empire, or freeing Japan from the start," Luke said as his voice began to sound a bit frustrated. "You stayed in order to get to Cornelia because of what Clovis said about your mother's death wasn't it."

Lelouch's eyes widened in shock before they narrowed in fury towards Luke. "Don't... you...DARE..." "You couldn't see it was a trap, because you let your anger guide you," Luke continued. "Ever since Clovis told you about Cornelia's involvement in your mother's death and you have been planning on going after her. When you stepped into that ghetto and into her trap all you were thinking about was getting Cornelia. All you were thinking about was getting your revenge on her!"

"SHUT UP!" Lelouch yelled out, lifting a fist to collide at Luke's face, but however the Jedi used the force to stop Lelouch's fist and then lifted him in the air and began twisting Lelouch's arms causing the former prince to yell in pain as he felt his muscles tearing themselves apart while everyone never really seen Luke this angry before.

"You think you're the only one who suffered Lelouch?!" Luke said in anger to him. "After losing your mother and what happened to Nunally but YOU don't know what I had to suffer through OUR war!"

Asami nodded very seriously. "Agreed! Not every mission results in success! Not for me, Not for Luke but sometimes every victory meant the loss of those we call friends! but you're not the only one who knows what loss is! All those rebels we're fighting with, me and my padawan Lop know, every single one of them has lost something! Their homes, their friends, their families! And we know what that's like! So stop acting like a Britannian prince and put your allies before your personal scorecard!"

Lelouch shouted at the two Jedi, allowing his emotions to get the better of him. "NO! I have to see to it that I fulfil my promise on destroying Britannia! For what they-"

Luke then shouted with fury interrupting him. "You really think you're the only one Lelouch?! The only one who has been wronged? The only one to lose your family. To want revenge so badly no matter who gets hurt?! To feel justified in wanting it. You think you and your family are the only ones in this galaxy that have been wronged?! DO YOU?! Because I have!"

Lelouch gasped when Luke shouted as he began to lower Lelouch back to the ground while stopping to twist his arms. "I know how much the feeling of anger and frustration feel but it's a parasite that feeds on your mind that corrupts your mind if I focused on revenge I would be no better than HIM! YOU KNOW WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT!"

There came a silence in the room, and Lelouch stood speechless as the crew of the Falcon felt uncomfortable at the sore topic now up. C.C. stood back and raised an eyebrow.

Artoo rolled up and displayed again the holo of Ben Kenobi, this time with another holo of Luke in his farm boy clothes.

"How did my father die?" The young Luke on the holo asked. The old Ben Kenobi had a grim look before answering the question. "A young Jedi named Darth Vader. He was a pupil of mine before he turned to evil. Helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights." Lelouch had already heard this before that was until the holo went on longer, and old Ben spoke again to answer young Luke's question. "He betrayed and murdered your father."

Lelouch gaped at the new revelation. He looked at Luke who gloomily sat down, and the crew looked at him with sympathy, while C.C. looked at him with what looked like a sad look but had to hide it.

"Vader…" Lelouch said. "That man, the Sith Lord, he was the one who killed your father? Why didn't you…?"

Luke shrugged. "I didn't see a reason for you to know at least…" He sighed. "Unlike you I never knew my parents." Lelouch widened his eyes. "I never knew my father or even my mother."

Lelouch gaped at that. Luke knew neither of his parents?

"The only family I had were Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru. I spent almost all my life on Tatooine. I was never satisfied with it, yet it was… peaceful, I guess. Then the Empire came and they killed Beru and Owen." Lelouch almost gasped at that.

"I had nothing left but that was when I decided to become a Jedi like my father before me and fight the Empire. Ben was going to teach me like he did for my father. But less than a day later… He was cut down right in front of me by the very same man who murdered my father."

Lelouch froze at that. That was how Ben Kenobi was killed? By Vader as well? The Falcon crew looked sympathetically at Luke, and sadly remembered the day they too witnessed Obi-wan Kenobi dying at the hands of Darth Vader, on board the Death Star.

"It was then I knew I had to be the one to defeat Vader for all the pain he had caused." Luke said. "And for the first time I was angry and that made me reckless. He toyed with me like I was a nuisance. My hatred for Vader almost led me to my end. I realised the next time he encountered him…I couldn't be rash. As much as I hate him I had to put it aside for the sake of the Rebellion and my friends."

Lelouch looked at Luke at what he said, and his expression became softer. The way he talked about Vader reminded Lelouch of how he would mention his father. The man he would always hate.

"I felt that feeling as well," Leia said. "I do know what it is like to want revenge. Revenge on Vader. Revenge on the Empire for…" The princess looked away a bit with a look of past heartache coming to her, which Han noticed with concern. "When my homeworld… Alderaan was destroyed."

"What?" Lelouch widened his eyes. "Your home?""My home. My planet. My family…They got wiped away in seconds from a blast from the Death Star."

"Your…" Lelouch stuttered. "Your planet was destroyed?" Leia soberly looked on, with no need to nod. Lelouch started to understand why she didn't tell him about that but to think of it as your entire planet. Everything and almost everyone you knew and grew up with is gone. Destroyed? It was terrifying.

Leia nodded and said. "You're lucky you still have your planet knowing what the empire did to Alderaan!" Lop folded her arms and said in a sad voice. "I once had a sister whose name was Ocho I thought we were going to be a proper family alongside our father forever that changed until the Empire took her from me!"

Tdee shows an image of Lop fighting Ocho on Tao the Lelouch got a good look on Lop's sister Ocho from what he saw Ocho was a young woman. The woman had light skin, dark hair cut at the shoulders, along with dark grey-blue eyes. Strangely, there seem to be red markings near her eyes, giving her expression a rather serious and stern look. Her imperial suit was white, with black belt and trousers, along with a white cape over shoulders.

The hologram of Lop then said. "OCHO WE ARE SISTERS LET'S GO HOME WE DON'T NEED THE EMPIRE THEIR REIGN OVER OUR WORLD IS OVER WITH YOU, ME AND FATHER WE CAN ALL GO HOME!"

Ocho reached the boiling point for her as she screamed in anger as she went to kill Lop "What..IS…FAMILY!?" TD tried to show the family image but she destroyed TD in a blind rage.

Lop then had a serious face and yelled. "I WILL BRING YOU BACK! MY REAL SISTER!" As she clashed with Ocho's viroblades with pure fury as she destroyed one of Ocho's weapons and then slashed Ocho's torso leaving an X on it as the feed ended.

Lop then said rubbing her arm. "After that I vowed to find my sister and bring her back no matter what happened and then I met Asami and she became my Jedi master."

Lelouch couldn't believe it she had a sister and the sister went to join the dark side and felt so bad about it.

Han then asked Lelouch. "So are you ready to finally stop acting like a bratty prince and act like a rebel for real this time Lelouch?" As the former prince then looked at Luke who nodded with a straightforward look if he really wanted to create a better world he had to put his team before himself he then took a massive deep breath before exhaling and then said.

What's our next move now we dealt a crippling blow to our foes?"

Asami then said. "both Ohgi's group and the Yamato Alliance have sent messages about wanting to join us." After Luke had done a crippling blow to our foe!"

Leia then said. "So far we haven't got any word from our rebel allies from our galaxy!" Lelouch smiled slightly. "That's good to hear." As he kept saying "It may take time and a lot of patience for others to join our cause so in the meantime it'd be wise to build our army one that won't fall easily to Britannia's power or to the Galactic empire should they come poking their nose to the planet!" Luke smiled and said. "Okay let's get to work!"

Elsewhere

Shin then sees Durge on a speeder bike and he and his forces have arrived as some IG lancer droids began taking some equipment of the bikes. "Took you long enough Bounty hunter!"

Shin said, folding his arms as Durge then said. "We finished packing up our equipment and had to make sure it was accounted for!"

Shin then said. "Was it all accounted for?" Durge nodded, Shin smiled and said. "Great now let's not keep the sisters waiting!" Shin and Durge began walking over to a campfire sight as the two regime members see these regime troopers wearing black ops armour equipped with sniper rifles.

Shin bows to the two women near the campfire. "Yansu and Sai sorry to keep you ladies waiting!" Sai then said. "Think of nothing it Shin we are happy that we can begin our plan!"

Durge bows saying. "Shamon Sai and Shamon Yansu, pleasure to meet you again!" Yansu replied with. "Pleasure is ours bounty hunter so shall we proceed with our little plot?"

Shin chuckled and said. "Why of course that's why we are here!"

Druge and Shin's army arrived at a small homestead as Durge cracked his knuckles saying. "Allow me to get the door!"

Durge punched the door as it fell to pieces as Kusakabe gasped in horror. "What the?" before he could see what was happening red lightsabers emerged from the smoke as some Nightsisters charged at them striking some of them down such as impaling or beheading some of the soldiers Atsushi had a horrified look on his face.

Hello there colonel!" Shin said as his army walked over to the colonel and his allies Kusakabe then said "You are Shin Shang you are the older brother of Akito."

Shin then said. "In the flesh the person who holds the rank of colonel!" Atsushi is still afraid of the Royal regime and their allies as they had killed some of their men. "W-what do you want from us?!"

Shin then said. "Oh we are here to aid you to fight by our side to reclaim your birthright and your nation correct?" Kusakabe was unsure what to say to knowing Shin always had a silver tongue for manipulating people.

Shin grins as his eyes begin to glow purple as he moves his hands casting a spell he had learned from the Nightsisters. "And all you have to do is obey and follow your masters every command!" Just like that Kuskabe and the JLF's forces eyes began to glow purple as Kuskabe than said.

"We will obey your commands master Shin for the glory of Japan!" The man chuckled, "Good, the pieces are falling into place."

Earth's orbit

miles away from the glowing globe that was earth there came the sound of jump from the far reaches of space.A modified VCX-100 light freighter, floated slowly in the direction of the hospitable planet nearby.

Inside the cockpit of the freighter, the crew were marvelled in the successful jump from their galaxy and into the other along with a special guest.

"Looks like we finally made it!" A brown skinned man wearing a blue shirt black pants and a blue cape with gold on the inside as a green skinned woman said. "Yeah it's a good thing that Slim was able to give us the coordinates to where the falcon was sent.."

"So…" A middle-aged war veteran with tan skin, brown eyes, bald and white beard said. "This is it, then?"

"Seriously?" A male lasat said. "A new galaxy? You can't be serious?" A blonde man said. He was forty years old and had mutton chops and a beard. "Well Slim wasn't making it up as he went.." The brown skinned man then said. "Hey I trusted Slim for quite a while it was lucky we made contact before the Empire did…"

"And that must be the planet right there," A young woman in mid-twenties pointed out. The woman had tan skin, amber eyes, short-cropped purple hair. She wore coloured beskar armour over her slender form. "That has to be planet Ear-th in the solar system!"

A military analyst RA-7 protocol droid then said "Agreed it is an identical match to the image Slim showed us on Batuu.." Right beside him came a chirk of beeps coming from a C1 series astromech droid.

"So Hera, what's our plan?' The brown skinned man asked Hera as she said "We find the falcon, patch it up and then get outta here before the Empire tracks us through hyperspace.." Hera then turned around and said "Sabine, Zeb, Chopper," Hera looked at her friends. "Get the Phantom, ready."

The three nodded as they did that as Her said as she looked at Earth "As marvellous as it is… that we have journeyed beyond the bounds of the galaxy we know as home and have come into a new one…"

"Somewhere on that planet," Hera said. "Princess Leia and the others are there." Lando then said "Then let's go find our buddies!"

Little did they know… it was the start of a whole new adventure.

For Lando Calrissian the former owner of the millennium falcon.

For the Spectre's of the Ghost.

And for Captain Rex, of the Clone Wars.

In memory of Carl Weathers who played an amazing Bounty Guild master and then High Magistrate your legacy will live on now and forever!
