Chapter 13 - Getting rid of Potential Risks.

The stadium, once a haven for the frightened masses, now echoed with the clash of metal as Lucas's Knightmare engaged in a fierce battle with the white-clad Lancelot piloted by Suzaku. The two machines moved with precision and agility, exchanging devastating blows that sent shockwaves through the ground.

Lucas, determined to protect the innocent, fought with strategic prowess, utilizing the advanced weaponry of his Knightmare. The blaster roared to life, sending powerful energy beams toward Lancelot, forcing Suzaku to dodge and counter each attack expertly. The clash of their weapons reverberated through the stadium, each strike a testament to their skill and determination.

As the battle raged on, Lucas managed to gain the upper hand. His Knightmare, with its superior firepower, began to overwhelm Suzaku and the Lancelot. Despite Suzaku's exceptional piloting skills, the relentless assault pushed him on the defensive.

Just as Lucas prepared for a decisive strike that could disable the Lancelot, a new player entered the fray. A sleek black Knightmare, elegant and formidable, intervened, blocking Lucas's path. The sudden appearance of this mysterious machine halted the impending clash.

Lucas, puzzled by the interruption, turned his attention to the black Knightmare. The cockpit opened, revealing Lelouch, the masked tactician and mastermind behind the rebellion.

"Lelouch?" Lucas exclaimed, momentarily lowering his guard.

Lelouch's voice echoed through the stadium's comm systems. "Lucas, enough blood has been spilled. We need to retreat. There's no need for further violence."

Lucas, torn between his desire to protect and the plea for peace, hesitated. The white and black Knightmares stood poised for action, creating a tense standoff. The sounds of battle subsided as both pilots contemplated the situation.

Suzaku's Lancelot, damaged but not defeated, stood ready. Suzaku, despite the pain and exhaustion, looked at Lucas with a mixture of determination and exhaustion.

Lelouch continued, "We can find another way, a way to change the world without more bloodshed. Please, let us end this madness."

Lucas conflicted yet recognizing the wisdom in Lelouch's words, slowly powered down his Knightmare's weaponry. The tension in the stadium eased as the machines ceased their hostilities.

"I don't trust you, Lelouch, but for now, I'll heed your plea. This doesn't mean our struggle is over," Lucas warned, his gaze unwavering.

Lelouch nodded, acknowledging the fragile truce. "Agreed. There is much to discuss, and I believe we can find common ground."

As the black and white Knightmares disengaged, the once a battleground stadium fell into an uneasy silence. The people, having witnessed the clash between titans, cautiously emerged from their hiding places. The events of that day left an indelible mark on the hearts of those present, signaling a potential shift in the dynamics of the conflict. The path forward, uncertain and fraught with challenges, awaited the decisions and actions of those who sought to reshape the destiny of their world.

"Kill this Girl and Steal her Research, Shikamaru," Lucas Ordered him.

"Yes, Sir."

Academy

"Nina, the Black knights are advancing towards Tokyo you need to go back to the Shelter," Milly Shouted in worry.

"I know, Zero will come right?" Nina said in an angry tone.

"(Please wait Euphemia I will avenge you.) "Nina

As she was working on her Knightmare she heard Something fall near her. It was Milly.

"Don't worry She is going to be alright. Can't say the Same About you though." A person emerged from the darkness.

"Who...." Before she could complete her Sentence her throat was slit. 

=======================

The battlefield in Tokyo was in chaos. Lelouch, having successfully taken down Cornelia, had left a power vacuum that the Britannians were quick to exploit. The news of Nunnally's kidnapping had drawn Lelouch away, leaving Todo and his subordinates vulnerable to the advancing Britannian forces.

Just as it seemed like all hope was lost, the ground trembled under the arrival of Lucas and his advanced Knightmares. The sleek and formidable machines painted the battlefield with a sense of impending change. Lucas, a master tactician in his own right, quickly assessed the situation and took charge.

The advanced Knightmares, equipped with cutting-edge technology, swiftly engaged the Britannian forces. Their superior firepower and strategic maneuvers turned the tide of the battle. Todo and his subordinates, on the brink of capture, found a renewed sense of hope as Lucas's forces pushed the Britannians back.

Amid the chaos, Lucas spotted Earl Pudding, Suzaku's friend and a formidable Knightmare pilot. With calculated precision, Lucas's Knightmare closed in on Earl Pudding's transport, overwhelming him with a combination of speed and firepower. The Britannian Inventor, caught off guard by the sudden onslaught, was quickly subdued.

As the battlefield echoed with the sounds of clashing Knightmares and the shouts of soldiers, Lucas couldn't shake the anger that brewed within him. He knew Lelouch's disappearance was a strategic move, but the emotions of the moment overwhelmed his rational mind. The Britannians had seized this opportunity, and it infuriated Lucas to see the hard-fought gains slipping away.

Deciding that a change of strategy was needed, Lucas made a quick and decisive choice. He ordered a temporary retreat, leaving the battlefield in the capable hands of Erwin, who had proven himself as a leader on par with Lelouch.

"Erwin, the situation has changed. I need you to take command here. Use the terrain to your advantage, and don't let them regroup. I have a personal matter to attend to," Lucas transmitted the orders to Erwin as his Knightmare began to make its way towards Kamine Island.

As Lucas navigated the war-torn landscape, heading towards Kamine Island, the weight of the conflict bore down on him. He couldn't help but reflect on the complexities of the situation and the personal cost of the choices made in the pursuit of a better world.

Arriving at Kamine Island, Lucas took a moment to gather his thoughts. He knew that leaving the battlefield was a risk, but he also trusted Erwin's capabilities. The fate of the rebellion now rested on multiple shoulders, each leader contributing their unique strengths to the cause.

==============

"Lelouch Nunnally's Not here." Lelouch heard a Voice behind him.

"Huh! Lucas I'm thankful that you are here but What do you mean Nunnaly is not here?"

"I Scanned the Island For any source of life and there was nothing. The door Ahead of you is the Geass Relam and I am going to End it in the Future. I have taken a complete hold of Japan with my Forces. Now We shall be the Ones attacking. I promise to save Nunnally. She is with your Father Now Mostly according to my Assumption, She won't be harmed as far as I know."

"Lucas Thank you."

"Before you thank me you have to pay for Leaving the battlefield as the Commander."

One thrashing later...

"Ok let's return, My Base is on its way."
