Code Geass: The Black King [FANFIC]

Chapter 5

Kallen in the red Guren pushed on the controls hard gripping the control sticks as hard she could as she raced to reach Cornelia’s location. She was breathing hard as she manoeuvred her frame in out of buildings weaving through various roads and locations as she struggled to reach the designated point pushing her machine to its limit as she willed it forward.

She breathed hard as point B34 was fairly close up to the Britannian Government Bureau, well technically it wasn’t really as close as the Black Knight forces were but it was still pretty damn close, it was still in the area where the power was still lit up.

The night sky made visibility a slight problem but to an ace pilot like Kallen, it was nothing but an annoyance that could be dealt with easily by adjusting her mind to the situation. After moving her Guren through the wreckage as she came forward to less destroyed yet still damaged part of the Settlement where just about a kilometre ahead of her, her comrades were risking their lives out there.

Kallen stopped her Knightmare to face it forward and looked out tpwards at the main force. From the close yet far distance she was from the sparks of gunfire and the explosions looked like beautiful lights from where she was but Kallen knew better. What if her friends were killed out there?  Sure she knew most members of the original resistance cell weren’t actually apart of the main force but helping direct the show. But she couldn’t ignore the fact, she had friends there and they could die such as Inoue who was out there driving Britannians away.

“Focus, Kallen!” she said to herself taking a sharp breath and ignoring the thought which had led to a tight chest. She then turned the Guren to the left and continued to proceed with the important task at hand. It was dead important, she knew that Zero had given her that task as there was no else to take care of it.

But above all it was because Zero trusted her, she didn’t know who the man was behind the mask or maybe it was a woman, she never knew. Her loyalty was like nothing else compared to the other members of the resistance group after all she was the one first volunteered to help Zero with his debut performance of rescuing Kururugi when no one else would and they thought that it was just a mad man wanting a death wish.

But a thought pricked the side of Kallen’s mind, how did Zero truly see her? Was she a tool to be used to help fulfil his goals or did he look at more than just the ace pilot of his forces?

“Tch” Lelouch gritted his teeth in annoyance as the battle in the air was not going well but he still decided to mock the disgraced knight. “Orange, do you prefer that name or Margrave, oh wait you were stripped of that title!”

“Zero!” Jeremiah began as he launched his fortress once again spitting forth slash harkens at the Gawain which Lelouch responded by firing the Hadron Cannons and C.C swerving off to the side dropping slightly in altitude as the lance like slash harkens returned immediately as the Knight Giga Fortress had crashed forwards upwards. “I will rid you of the Empire!”

The fortress was in the spot where the Gawain had been a moment ago and if C.C hadn’t swerved off there would have been a repeat of the Gawain being rammed. Lelouch from below fired the Hadron Cannon which after a small charge came the deadly burst.

It was fast and fierce some but Jeremiah was piloting the machine mentally so the reaction time was much quicker than if it had been a conventional knightmare. He moved the Siegfried off to the side but had been slightly hit by one the bursts which knocked the fortress quite bit back.

As the Siegfried came forward even faster than it had been knocked back C.C had raised the Gawain up and Lelouch at the damage it had caused. The Hadron Cannons typically completely destroy a unit after a few seconds exposure and usually vapourised them into smaller parts. However the Siegfried had fairly tough armour and the resulting area had been fairly melted although if it had been exposed to the Hadron Cannon any longer it would have suffered the fate as ordinary knightmares.
