Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shiki gave a small half-smirk. "I think the btter question is that directed at teh man who has nothing to hide." He chuckled. "After all," he met Claudious coolly. "That only means that he is powerful enough to cover up his mistakes. But that doesn't mean they'll go away forever. They're still out there, waiting for someone to discover them and leak them to the world."

Koma stared at the wall behind him. She wanted to push him away and hold him close, she wanted to kill him and to save him, she was full of so many conflicting emotions she didn't know what to do. "Why were you working for the Britannians?" She choked.

"Me and Reiku are friends, and like the rest are enemies..."

The soldiers searched for remains of human bodies until after an hour of searching they noticed a fowl odor. The soldiers figured that the odor must have came from their scattered body parts. When they destroyed the house it seemed impossible for anything inside to stay in one piece. “Good…” She said to the soldier. Her voice was cooler. “The mission is done. Everybody let’s return to area 11.” She ordered the soldiers and they returned to their own knightmares. Lucille walked back to her own knightmare and found Merlin still sleeping inside the knightmare.

Claudious let out a smile admitting to Shiki that he was impressed by his words. “Well I believe everybody has their own secrets to keep but secrets, like what you said, are not placed there to stay.” Claudious said smiling. “Take Ioan here for example,”—he pointed back at Ioan—“he had a female stalker once. She was very troublesome. I almost thought that he was more fearful of her than his own death.” He laughed taking out all of the seriousness that emitted in the air.

"I was working with the Britannians a long time ago since before you were a baby. At that time I was a researcher in geass technology. My co-worker was Lucrezia Li Vonrouge" He explained to Koma.

Shiki smiled, looking over to Ioan. "Well, I can assure you, most women are not to be feared."

Ioan looked back at him, giving a smile for Claudious' benefit as he seethed inwardly. "That's the key word, Kazehime." He tapped the side of his head. "Most."

Koma looked at him with bated breath, glancing up as she heard the Knightmares flying away. "Lucille's mother...."

Lucille entered her knightmare she saw the picture Koma was staring at. The woman’s face was a nothing but a blur to her at that time but now that she recalled it, the woman with a baby and the man she hates might have been her…”Mother…” She thought to herself. She wasn’t sure if the woman in the picture was her mother but I sure looked like her. While she pondered on the thought she turned on her knightmare and left the area to return to area 11.

He was silent before he talked "Yes, Lucille's mother." He paused before sitting down on the ground. His blood loss from his gun wound was slowly depleting his energy. "Our project involved creating our own 'man-made' geass. Our goal was to create a human with a 'man-made' geass." He stopped to cough out blood. "We worked on it for a decade and in that decade I fell for Lucrezia but knowing that she was married I gave up and met your mother. I quit the research to live a peaceful life and i was told few months before your first birthday, they finally found an egg cell compatible with the 'man-made' geass. Lucrezia volunteered taking the baby in--that baby was Lucille. 6 years later, the Britannians saw Lucille's development and wanted to use what we created to make more to make a geass army. That time, Lucrezia contacted me. She wanted me to help her and take her away from the Britannians. So I decided to create my own ressitance group and stage their kidnapping. Somehow old feelings returned to me and I had one night with Lucrezia. 9 months after, our baby was born. Somehow... I was happy yet angry, I was guilty yet proud. That picture frame you were looking at, that was us and your brother." He paused again to recollect all of his memories "I left for a few days. When I returned the group I once led were no longer there. They left me and took Lucrezia, Lucille and the baby with them. The next thing I heard was Lucrezia was killed and Lucille was saved but there was no news about a baby found with them. I order to find the baby I made a deal with the Britannians. I will give them inside information of the happenings in the ghetto if they would aid me in finding the baby. For 5 years, I worked for Britannia as a spy but my identity was given out and that's how the raid started."

Claudious continued laughing until her heard River. His expression became serious almost instantly. He looked at the screen where he saw the twilight being carried by two knightmares.

As the knightmares landed the pilots got out and left Twilight in the ropes. River landed and stepped put of his cockpit and stood on the shoulder of Solitude. " Don't open the cockpit let him wake up on his own. " The men nodded as he stared at Twilight.


Reiku was in a dream. It was the night his parents died he remember it perfectly. " Mommy, Daddy! NO! " A Gold knightmare stood above them and fired off a shot tearing them to pieces. He then turned and looked up to see a dark purple knightmare then another with a man standing in its hand. " Grab the boy he's the one the king whats to be used. I don't care if hes the brother of Prince River. Hes a rat used for the power of geass. I will kill you if you say that once more he's no PRINCE! " He then woke up in the cockpit everything was off he turned the main camera on and looked around. " A rat trapped in a cage.. Like he said I am a rat.. For the power of Geass... " A tear fell.

River came down off his knightmare shoulder and walked over to him. " Wait for Shiki and Claidious I what him to see him before you take him away. One warning do not I repeat DO Not punch him or kick him. " He looked at Twilight as the cockpit slowly opened.

Ioan nodded, mentally running down the list of things he could do to someone that wouldn't fall under the range of 'punch' or 'kick.' It was quiet long, and he enjoyed toying with a few of the options.

Shiki made his way forward, eyeing Reiku as the cockpit fully opened. "And this is the one calling himself Black X?"

Koma choked on her own voice, before nodding, tears streaming down her face. "Yeah...yeah I did." She moved to wrap her arms around his neck, holding him tightly against her. "I love you, Daddy..." She whispered, gently kissing his cheek.
