As they approached the noodle bar Kiara's mouth began to water. She was hungrier than she thought. She glanced at Raina before ordering and when her meal finally came she dug in hugrilly.

Raina took the veggie option and got noodles with stir fried vegetables.
"This is de-li-cious," she said between mouthfuls. "I could live off of this stuff."

"That and Pizza," Kiara commented before finishing off her own noodles. She wiped her mouth before she looked at her watch. They still had a couple hours. "Now what?"

"Let's go down the high street!!!" said Raina, paying for their noodles with her dad's magic credit card.

"Sure," Kiara said. As the two walked Kiara looked in random shop windows, not really seeing anything that caught her eye. All the shops were still open at least so there was plenty to choose from but she didn't see anything interesting.
"See anything you like?" she asks.

*we need to move the story along. I WANNA MEET GINO!!!!! Which guy are you grabbing btw?*

"Yes!!" Raina grabbed Kiara's arm and dragged her into a jewelery shop. "Shiny things!!!"

(I'm not sure...who do you think would be a good match? I know you're determined to get Gino so no worries about me going after him.)

Kiara rolled her eyes at Raina's antics before beginning to browse through the jewellery on sale. She spotted a dragon necklace made of silver with a sapphire as the eye and grinned. It had wings that were flared and a long curving body. She grabbed it from the shelf and kept looking and eventually decided on a small charm bracelet as well. Normally she wouldn't wear jewellery but these looked nice.

*Are you OK with me having Gino? Because I'm sure we can work something out if you really want him. Let's see.... your options are: Suzaku (yeah right), Lelouch (although I prefer him with C.C.), Orange-kun, Rolo (although he's a bit young), Rivalz, Luciano Bradley, Xing-ke, Schneizel (please don't), Kanon, Mao... I just realised how little choice I left you... there's always the possibility of you getting an OC*

Raina had picked up a dozen things. She mostly went for topaz or amethyst to match her hair or eyes. She grabbed necklaces, bracelets, earrings... everything. When she finally went up to the counter the shopkeepers were looking at her with big round eyes, as though she were some sort of messiah.
Glad I've made someone's day she thought, paying for her purchases with the credit card.

(Naw, you can have Gino. Suzaku would be okay if he wasn't so...annoyingly-perfect-kinght like but since he is he's out and as for the others...no way to most of them...we'll see as the story goes on I think.)

Kiara stared open mouthed at Raina's large pile of jewellery. She glanced around the shop before picking up a pair of tear drop shaped earings and palying for her own things before they headed out of the shop.
"You sure your dad wont' mind you buying so much stuff?"

"He will," Raina shrugged. "But he'll just see it as the cost of me leaving him alone. That's what he gave me the credit card for, anyway."
She put on one of her necklaces - a silver one with a swirly design, studded with topazs *what's the plural for topaz?!?!*
"Let's get going. We've gotta get to the docks for the operation."

"No clue what the plural is..."
"Alright," Kiara replied. "Let's head to the headquarters to change first. We can't exactly go in civilian clothes after all."

"We can't do that!" Raina protested. "We can't exactly walk across town from the HQ to the docks dressed like Black Knights! We'll change when we get to the docks, come on!"

Kiara was practically dragged after Raina but she didn't mind. Raina made a good point and before she knew it they were at the docks. They found a safe place to change and soon they were in their black Knight uniforms. Kiara added her black trench/haori to her outfit, pulled on her vizor and added the dragon choker like necklace around her neck as an afterthought.
"Ready to go?" she asked, pulling on her gloves.

"Ready!" Raina had put on her jacket, boots, shorts, gloves, and visor. "OK, we look awesome, let's go. I think we're meeting in that warehouse..."

As the two entered the warehouse they noticed the others were all there and preparing. Kiara spotted Lelouch/Zero and made her way over to him immediately.
"Hey," she said. "Everything ready to go?"

"Yes," said Zero/Lelouch, and he outlined positions for everyone.
"Remember, do not move until I tell you to," he said. "Timing is crucial here."
Raina was delighted to find that she was allowed a burai for this.

Kiara smirked as the plan was explained to her. Her fingers twitched with anticipation. She didn't consider herself a blood thirsty person but she loved a good fight. Who didn't? She glanced at Raina.
"If anything goes wrong I've got your back," she promised. "Now let's do it."

"Same to you," Raina grinned, climbing into her burai.
Suddenly, she heard loud noises coming from the outside. Gunfire. Missiles. Knightmares.
"Cornelia moved faster than I anticipated," said Zero over the radio.
"We should move out and attack!" said Ougi.
"No. We must wait. I told you that timing was crucial."
Raina had the feeling that Lelouch wasn't being 100% truthful.

Kiara stared ahead in her Burai. She frowned at Lelouch's orders.

(This is where he plans the distruction of the JLF right? If I remember right the boat explodes or something like that right?)

*He explodes the liquid sakuradite in the boat and pretends the JLF committed suicide. That way he gets rid of the JLF nad a lot of Britannian forces at the same time*

The gate to the warehouse opened, and the burai lined up outside, ready to move. Raina could see the JLF's ship moving, and the Britannian knightmares and soldiers attacking it. They clearly had the upper hand in this fight.

Kiara glanced sideways to Raina's Burai.
"Do not attack," Lelouch/Zero's voice came over the radio. "I repeat do not attack, wait for my signal."
'We get it,' she thought silently, rolling her eyes. 'Yeesh, no need to keep telling us.'
She frowned, something was definitely up. Lelouch was planning something, she just didn't know exactly what. SHe spotted the ship that the JLF would be fleeing in.

Suddenly, the ship exploded. It caused a huge wave and took out most of the Britannian forces with it. Raina gasped in surprise as she saw a huge plume of water go flying into the air where the ship had once been.
"They ignited the liquid sakuradite? They committed suicide?"
"How typical. They committed suicide," said Lelouch. "Now is our chance to attack! All units forward! Our goal is Cornelia!"

Kiara frowned at Lelouch's voice. Something seemed...off. She glanced sideways but couldn't actually see anything. She turned her attention forward adn leapt forward with the rest of the Black Knights. She'd be having words with Lelouch later along with Raina.
Right now they had some brittanian forces to crush.

Raina was in the front line. She always liked being in front, even if it was the most dangerous position. The britannians had very little time to react to the sudden appearance of the Black Knights, but they did have Cornelia's team CA with them. This was going to be a challenge.
Raina engaged one of Cornelia's guard, and Zero/Lelouch shot past her to attack Cornelia, Kallen backing him up.

Kiara immediately went after another guard as she saw Raina attacking another while Lelouch/Zero and Kallen went straight for Cornelia. If they could take out these guys then they'd have a better chance of getting to Cornelia without any interference. She dodged the gun fire aimed at her before attacking with her slash harkens.
