"Will do," Raina saluted, still holding her chopsticks. "I'll miss you though, Ki-chan. Don't get yourself in any trouble, and make sure the squad wears their nail polish."

"Will do," Kiara smirked. "And after the results that they got in the simulators I think they'll wear it. I hear that some of the other members are considering it as well. You've started something I think Rai."

"Of course, it's a brilliant idea," Raina winked. "Good way to make the Black Knights look more badass. Nothing beats nail polish - jsut look at the Akatsuki and Ulquiorra."

"Can't deny that," Kiara commented. She glanced at her watch. "Looks like we'll be at Tokyo soon, you'd better get ready to go back to Ashford. Do you remember where you put your uniform?"

"Yep, I'll go down and get it."
Raina ran down to her room and quickly changed into her school uniform, stowing away her Black Knights uniform safely. When she was dressed she returned to the main area to say goodbye to people.

"Good luck Rai," Kiara sayd, hugging her friend. Lelouch had come down to the main area although he couldn't say goodbye to her as Lelouch since he was Zero at the moment. "Try not to cause too much havoc in the school without me okay? There'll be enough of that going on."

"Will do, Zerrro!" said Raina, saluting. She hugged Tamaki, C.C., Kaguya, Kallen, Toudou, Ougi, Asahina, Chiba, Urabe, Inoue, and then Kiara again.
"Bye byes!!!" and with that she left the submarine in one of the pods, headed for Ashford Academy.

"Everyone prepare to move on my signal." Lelouch/Zero said. "We will be in position to attack Tokyo in just over an hours' time and I want everyoen ready."
"Yes Zero!" Everyone chorused and made their way to their places, getting troops ready. Kiara made her way to the Knightmare that she'd gotten used to using and began doing the basic checks as usual.. She looked at the time. 22:39.

As Raina arrived at Ashford Academy she headed straight towards the Student Council room where she found Milly, Rivalz, Nunnally and Shirley. Nina was nowhere to be found.
"Hey guyssss," she said.
"Raina! You're back!" said Milly. "I thought you were in hospital! Are you OK?"
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine. To be honest there was nothing wrong with me in the first place I just wanted to skive off school for a while," said Raina apologetically.

Everything was running smoothly with her Knightmare and Kiara turned her head slightly and checked the time again. Time seemed to be moving incredibly slowly on purpose and she gritted her teeth in annoyance. Beside her Kallen in her Guren was also finishing going through the pre-flight checks and soon it would be time for them to take off and get into position for the attack to offically begin at midnight.
Kiara smiled savagely as she pictured the fight to come. She couldn't wait to start fighting the Britannian forces. This was going to be a battle they weren't about to forget for a long, long time.
"Attention all units!" Lelouch/Zero called over the radio."Prepare to leave in five minutes and station yourselves in you rallocated positions. Today we strike a heavy blow against Britannia!"

"The Black Knights are on their way here!" said Rivalz. "Aren't you worried?"
"Yes, but they won't hurt us, right? Right?" said Raina, realising that she'd made a mistake in acting casual.
"They shouldn't," said Milly, but she didn't seem so sure. "Whatever happens, though, we have to all stay together, all right?"
The others nodded.

Finally everyone had reached their correct positions and were now waiting for the battle to begin. Lelouch was high in the air with his Shinkiro with C.C. and from the radio Kiara heard Lelouch begin to talk to the people in the Tokyo settlement, telling them that they had until midnight before the battle would really begin. Kiara looked at her watch.
23: 36
(Can't remember the exact times but I cna remember Lelouch talking to Suzaku just before the clock finished counting down)

The Student Council heard the announcement.
"They're really going to attack," said Shirley.
"We're doomed!!!!" said Rivalz tragically.
"We'll stick together, all right?" said Milly. "Oh, I wish Nina would get out of that basement."
"What's she doing in the basement?" asked Raina.
"She's gone a bit... strange... since Princess Euphemia was killed," said Milly. "She's working on the Ganymede. She says she wants revenge."
"With that old Knightmare?"
Milly nodded.

Time passed and soon there was only about two minutes to go until everything began. Kiara's hands tightened on their controls as the seconds ticked by.
50 seconds to go
40

10
Go time...
Kiara's Knightmare leapt forward in a burst of speed with the others as it all began.

Suddenly there was a rumble as though there were an earthquake. Everyone gathered around Nunnally's wheelchair and huddled in fear. Well, Raina wasn't scared. But she had to pretend to be. This was her super-important under cover mission.

It all happened so quickly that Kiara barely had time to take anything in before her Knightmare was clashing with the Britannian forces. She growled, slashing, firing and generally attacking any emeny that came within reach of her Knightmare. She fired off a blast of machine gun fire at the nearest knightmare and it exploded, the piloet not having enough time to eject or move out of the way. Her eyes turned to a screen that showed where everyone eas and she saw the planned force moving towards Ashford with Lelouch just behind them in the Shinkiro. She turned her knightmare and made to join the group, coming in behind to guard Lelouch from the rear as they approached Ashford Academy.

The sounds were getting louder and louder, but the students couldn't do anything.
Raina sat down on the sofa and pretended to still be afraid, but she was getting rather fed up at this point.

After making sure the Knightmares were secure the members of the group led by Zero made their way through Ashford Academy, gradually taking over the school until finally only the council room was left. Zero/Lelouch hung back so that he'd be the last to enter and Kiara made sure that she and Kallen were just in front of him like guards before he gave the signal and their group burst into the Student Council Room.

"Put your hands up!!!" came Tamaki's voice as he kicked the door open. "We're the Black Knights, and we're taking over this place!"
"The Black Knights?!" gasped Milly.
Tamaki grinned evilly. He seemed to be enjoying his part in this. Raina made a mental note to tease him about it later.

"That's enough!" Kiara called, stepping to the front and pushing Tamaki to the side. He seemed to be enjoying himself too much and if he kept this up then there could be some trouble. She scanned over everyone in the room and her eyes fell on Raina who was playing her part quite well. Kiara turned to Milly who was in front of the others.
"Like he said," she continued but in less of an arrogant voice. "We are the Black Knights but we have no intention of hurting anyone in this building. As long as no one tries to fight back or does anything reckless then I can garentee that everyone will be alright."
"We intend to use this school as our base of opperations," Lelouch/Zero stated, stepping forwards so that he was in clear view of the others in the room. "This building is now our comand post."
"Your...comand post?" Milly muttered, looking at Zero then back to Kiara. "But how do we know that we can trust you? How do we know that you'll keep your word?"
"Well," Kiara said, glancing at Kallen and receiving a nod. "You already know two of us."
"We do?" Rivalz demanded, looking over their faces, trying to see beyond the vizors.

Kallen removed her visor and there was a collective gasp which Raina joined in on.
"Kallen! Is that you?!" exclaimed Raina, acting shocked. "Ohmygod, you're a terrorist!!!"

Kallen nodded her head before looking towards Kiara. She sighed before reaching up and removing her vizor, shaking her head to get her hair out of her eyes. She looked around at them all as they stared open mouthed at her. Nunally of course wasn't as she couldn't see anything but she'd recognised their voices.
"Kiara?" she asked carefully.
"Yeah," Kiara replied. "It's me." She glanced at Raina. She was actually looking forward to seeing exactly what her friend would do in this situation. She did always have such a flare for the dramatic.

Raina's eyes went even wider. "Ki-chan...."
She clasped both hands voer her mouth and slumped forward in a fake faint.
Milly ran forward and she and Rivalz managed to hoist Raina back onto the sofa.
"I see," said Milly in a betrayed voice.
"Just stay in here and no harm will come to you," said Kallen.

Kiara stepped forward towards them and held out her hand to Milly who was standing with Rivalz protectively in front of Raina.
"It's still us," she pointed out. "You can trust us on this."
"Fine," Milly said after a minute. "We have your word?"
"You have our word," Lelouch/Zero stated, coming forwards and appearing to look at Milly through the helmet he wore.
Kiara glanced down at Raina and resisted the urge to smirk, damn that girl was good.
"Be careful all of you," She said before turning and leaving the room with Lelouch.

The Black Knights left the room and Milly sat down, hugging her shoulders.
"At least they said they won't hurt us," said Shirley. "But Kallen and Kiara..."
"Poor Raina," said Rivalz. "She and Kiara are so close, but she didn't even realise..."
