Welcome to Gaia! ::

Koma nodded. "Already on it." She was moving through the crowd, dodging the guards to set up the bomb. The timer flashed red at her and she nodded, pocketing the detonator. "We're all set."

Shiki nodded. "Good. M.M., make sure all the civilians get out and the Knights stay occupied for as long as possible." He clicked the camera on. "Hang tight everyone. Zero should be up any second."

Suddenly, every screen in the complex flickered to life. Instead of showing the stage or Lady Lucille, they all showed the familiar purple helmet, a historic symbol of resistance against the Empire. "Greetings, Britannians. Some of you may have doubts as to my identity. Others may simply not know who I am." He leaned forward. "I am Zero. And I am here to bring the Britannian Empire to its knees. The Black Knights are alive and well, and we will not stand in the shadows as the Britannians continue to repress the people of Japan."

Koma made her way towards the exit, checking the timer. Ten seconds...

Zero seemed to smile behind his helmet. "This is our ultimatum. Either the Britannian Empire will surrender..." He chuckled. "Or..." The building was suddenly rocked with the first explosion. Chunks of debris went flying into the stands, and collapsed the left side of the Royals' seats. "Britannia will fall." Then the screens went black.

"im sorry for the incomvienience britannians but not to worry, the pain wont last for long." bombs start to fly in all directions. "the knights of brittania......are cancelled." he pulls out the bomb; it was surprisingly small. he clicks the trigger and drops the bomb to the ground. "goodbye my friends and goodnight" he jumps up into the ac shaft and climbs out the roof. as he jumps from the building the bombs go off blasting him towards the daybreak. "well what a pleasent surprize." he says, climbing into the knightmare ahead of schedule. as the daybreak roars to life rottiger calls zero on the intercom. "i dont think we could have done better if we tried huh zero?" the daybreak extends the blades and rushes towards the burning exploding crumbling building.

"No, Rottiger, we could not."
"Excellent." Shiki adjusted his coat around him, Zero's outfit safely stored in the bag at his side. Listening to the bone-shaking explosions outside, he could tell that they were being expertly aimed away from the crowd; collatorel damage more than casulties. Perfect. "How are things on your end Koma?"

"Complicated." She replied. "I've got the entire royal family not three feet from me, they're all being led by the Knight of 2..." She sighed. "And I haven't got a thing to hit them with."

Shiki thought for a moment. "Whatever happens, don't let Lucille get to her Knightmare."

"So it's Lucille now? When did you two become so friendly?"

rottigeer expertly battles the knighgmares. he points the daybreak at the building wreckage. the orb on the chest glows black and he hjolds up the hands to it also generating their pulse energy. when fully charged the arms flail to the sides and a giand blast destroys the rest of the building. he flies above the buildings former locationm, pointing the ion cannon hand at the ground. "a suiveneer britannia?" he fires it and carves the black knights symbol into the ground. "BLACK KNIGHTS, FOREVER WILL THEY KNOW THE WE ARE BACK!!!!" he sees lucille and the royals running through the chaos. he jumps from the knightmare pulling out the two swords he has with him, and runs toward them. "stop or be killed!" he says to them. his eyes flash and the royals fall to the ground, uncontious. however lucille, who looked away after recognising the attack, was unaffected. he points the blade at her, the tip being inches away from her throat. "quite a perdicament, eh lucille?"

"i am known solely as rottiger.......and dont try using your geass on me, because im prepared. my friend already told me you have it, so what can yours do?"

he gets inside the daybreak. "dont think you will best me so easily this time. the daybreak is fully repaired." the blades extend "evreyone try to make sure the royal family doesn't escape. and as for you, ill have to destroy that knightmare of yours." there is a sonic boom as the daybreak vanashes. miliseconds later the daybreak appears infront of TWILIGHT and thakes a swing with the sword.

Shiki watched the events unfold from his seat in the Gawain. "Oh, this is bad...very, very bad." He checked the channels. "Koma, are you there?"

Koma whirled to send a kick into the face of one of the SWAT members coming to assist the Royal family. "Yeah. I'm going to need back up if we want a-urgh!" Stars danced in her vision as the world slowly went black.

"Koma? Koma come in!" Shiki growled into the microphone. "Unit Two, find Koma. Unit Three, stay where you are." His eyes narrowed. "We're helping Rottiger against the TWILIGHT." He charged the gun, loosing a quick volley towards the Knightmare's exposed left flank. "We're in and we're out, Rottiger. Just enough to do some damage."
