Anime Dimension 0: Zero Invasion

Episode 3: The Rain Drop

The long red haired girl leaped down from the building and removed the sword impaled into Rentaro's leg, "Go hide somewhere"

Rentaro nodded and staggered into cover with Enju supporting him.

Gilgamesh shot her a disapproving look, "Be grateful peasant. What is your name?"

"Rain"

"Rain huh? I'll remember that"

"You better remember that, because that's the name of the person that's going to beat you down!" Rain charged in for the kill.

Her twin blades swung inwards for Gilgamesh's body. But he summoned two swords between his body and the swords. Rain summoned her own sword and aimed it at his head. He reacted tilted his head to the side, avoiding the sword.

"This is getting my blood flowing, time to go full out" Gilgamesh grinned and summoned a hundred of his swords, launching them at Rain.

"Thousand Sword Rain!" Rain first summoned hundred to deflect the incoming swords headed for her before she summoned all thousand of her ancient weapon class swords and poured them onto Gilgamesh.

Three of the swords were successfully impaled into Gilgamesh, his right shoulder, his left leg and his stomach, "I will congratulate you for successfully damaging me, I shall retreat for now but next time I see you, it will be the end of you"

With that, Gilgamesh vanished into a Dimensional portal.

Rentaro explained their plan to regroup with Kirito and the others to Rain.

Rain smiled upon hearing the name, "Kirito... so he came here too"

"Do you know him?"

"I guess you can say he's my idol" Rain looked away, her cheeks blushing slightly.

"I...dol...?"

"A-Anyway, let's regroup with Kirito... and the others"

Dimension 0 <Zero>: Outside the City of Kikorowa:

Edward checked left and right, "There are guards everywhere; the defence is a lot tougher than before"

"Of course the defence is stronger than before; this is a strategic location after all" said Edward.

"Akari, Chaika and I can handle the guards guarding the side entrance, the rest of you can move inside" suggested Toru.

"Gotcha, don't die on us" said Kirito.

Toru smiled before he started chanting with Akari, "I am steel. Steel knows no fear. Steel knows no doubt. When faced with my enemy, I hesitate not. I am a weapon to destroy these. Iron blood transformation..."

Toru and Akari suddenly glowed bright red with strange markings on their faces. They charged into battle with the guards, fighting them with inhuman speeds while Chaika supported them.

"Come, that which bursts and scatters. The Burster!" Chaika's shot accurately hits the target every time.

Kirito and the rest of the group entered the side entrance and headed for the Central Library. But when they arrived, bright flames covered the library. The group immediately took cover when they saw the guards escorting Lelouch and the others out of the burning library.

Kirito drew his swords, "Sinon, back me up"

"Roger that" she placed her Hecate II down and covered Kirito from the gunners while Kirito took down the melee types.

"Are you all okay?" Edward asked as he and Arata rushed to untie Lelouch and the others.

"Yes, thank you" Lelouch thanked Edward as he untied his hands and blindfold.

"What now? The hideout's discovered, where should we go now?" asked Arata.

"I foresaw this outcome, so I've set up another hideout" said Lelouch.

"Another? Where?" Arata continued.

"It's classical, but it'll work" Lelouch pointed downwards.

Yui looked around, "Wasn't there another male and female?"

"I told Suzaku to take Shirley and run for it while we hold the guards off"

"So where'd they go?" Yui continued to ask.

"I told them to meet us at the new hideout"

"You're that positive that we would arrive?" Kirito asked.

"My calculations are hardly off" Lelouch quoted.

As they prepared to leave the area, guards appeared from the alleyways around them.

Edward gritted his teeth, "Dammit, we're surrounded"

Dimension 0 <Zero>: Underground sewers of Kikorowa:

"Would Lelouch be alright?" asked Shirley

"He'll be fine" Suzaku replied.

Lelouch never allows some no-name to beat him.

As they approached the next intersection, four armed thugs appeared from both left and right.

"Give us everything you own, plus that beautiful young girl and you'll be safe" the leader threatened.

Suzaku slipped his helmet on and looked at the frightened Shirley, "Step back Shirley"

"Putting on a shiny helmet ain't going to protect you from these knives mate"

The first thug charged forward. Suzaku leaped to the left side of the sewage wall, he landed and lifted off with his left leg, and landed in a kick with his right leg to the thug's face.

The second thug lunged the knife at Suzaku. Suzaku caught his knife hand and flipped the thug over him and onto the wet floor.

The third thug swung the knife left and right madly as he advanced on Suzaku, he slipped right beneath the knife swing and threw in an uppercut to the thug's jaw, causing him to fly into air and land painfully onto the floor.

"Do you still wish to continue?" Suzaku asked the last thug.

"C-Come on guys, let's get outta here!" said the last thug and ran off while the others got back on their feet and followed, "We'll remember this!"

"Are you alright Shirley?" he asked.

"Y-Yeah, you sure are strong Suzaku" she assured him.

"Great. Then let us continue"

They continued their way through the sewage tunnel.

"Umm... Suzaku...?"

"What's wrong Shirley?"

"I wanted to ask before but I thought it would be bad taste, but why are you wearing Zero's outfit?"

Suzaku looked away, "Many things happened, I guess I might as well explain while we're on our way"

Dimension 0 <Zero>: Outside the Central Library:

Kirito kicked the guard away, but was growing tire from the fight that lasted for about half an hour. He huffed and puffed, when suddenly a guard prepared to strike from behind. Kirito attempted to block but he knew the attack would come through.

The sword was suddenly shot off the guard by another sword, after that, a rain of swords poured down, causing the guards to retreat at full speed.

"What... just happened...?" Kirito whispered to himself.

"Kirito!" shouted a voice.

When he turned around, he was attacked with a hug by a red-haired girl he'd never met before.

"Who... are you...?" he asked the girl.

"Oh come on, you can't say you've forgotten me now, I'm Rain"

"Rain...?"
