"Everyone else's is here," said Rakshata, pressing a button on a silver case with her pipe, and it swung open revealing a purple suit very similar to Kallen's.
"That one's yours, Raina," said Lelouch/Zero.

Kiara smirked as she saw Raina investigating the purple suit. "Very nice," she commented.
"Thank you," Rakshata replied. She pressed another button and another uniform was revealed, this one a sapphire blue with silver.
"That is yours," Lelouch said.
"Sweet!" Kiara grinned as she picked up the suit and made her way to an area where she could change.

Raina picked up her own and followed Kiara.
"Hey," she whispered to her friend. She held up her suit. "What colour is this?!"

Kiara's eyes rolled in annoyance. "It's purple," she whispered back. She fought not to bang her head again'st the nearest hard surface, that wouldn't look very good at the moment. "Let's just get changed."
As she entered a small cubicle to change she pulled on the suit. It fit snugly and as she zipped up the high collar she thought for a minute before adding the dragon choker like necklace on top of the suit. It fit fine as the collar was so close to her neck. She stepped out of the locker dressed and ready to go.

Raina slipped into her suit and looked down at her arms. She thought they were deep purple and gold, but her eyes were flashing. She sat down and put her head in her hands. After a while, the pounding lessened and she could focus clearly again. She stepped out of the cubicle.

"Nice," Kallen commented as she caught sight of Raina and Kiara coming back towards her. "They look good."
"You too Kallen," Kiara replied. She glanced worriedly at Raina but Lelouch signaled for them all to listen so she turned to face him again.
"Does everyone know the plan?" he asked. There was a general chorus of yeses around the room.

*I've changed my mind about exactly what's going to happen to Raina at the ned of the Black Rebellion. She's going to escape and return to school, since no one knows her identity as a Black Knight. Then the Emperor will remove her memories of Nunally, and of being best friends with Kiara*

"I'm bored," sighed Raina. "When will we do it?"
"When it starts to get dark," said Kallen. "I'm going to go prepare the Guren while we wait."

(Sounds good to me, you'll still get your memory wiped either way but that sounds cooler)

As Kallen walked away Kiara decided to guide Raina to a kitchen like area in the base. "You'd better use this hcance to get over that hangover," she suggested. She pulled out a glass from a random cupboard and handed it to Raina and pointed to a tap. "Have some water, that'll help and maybe some orange juice after that."

*it's just that this way a relationship with Gino would be easier, since he won't know she's a Black Knight. I'm planning on the two of them getting together at Milly's graduation event. ^.^ Yes, I've planned that far*

"It's not a hangover," Raina insisted, drinking the water. "I didn't drink that much last night... that I can remember..."

(I'm not surprised you planned that far)

"You drunk quite a lot when we were singing," Kiara pointed out. "I think it was because you were nervous." She went over to the fridge and pulled out a small cartin of orange juice, she checked the label, still in date with the little bits in it. She handed it to Raina. "This is cold, it should help you I think. I've never had to cure a hangover before."

"Orange juice!" Raina devoured the entire carton. She did feel a lot better. "Thanks, Ki. Dunno what I'd do without you."

"You'd still be hung over," Kiara said matter of factly before she pulled Raina up from the seat. "Come on, lets' get back to the others."

"Okayyy," said Raina, grabbing another carto0n of orange juice from the fridge before she followed Kiara.

As they reentered the main area where the knightmares were Kiara noticed that people were getting ready to go. She made her way over to Lelouch. "Which Knightmares have we been asigned or is it just first come first served?" she asked Zero/Lelouch. She galnced at Kallen's Guren, damn that thing looked cool!

"We only received new Knightmares for the Holy Blades," said Lelouch. "You two will pilot Burai, as before."
"Why can't I have a Guren?" Raina whined.

2Kiara grumbled at not getting a new Knightmare but never the less made her way to one of the nearest Burai without a poilet. She climbed into the cocpit and did a quick check of all the systems, everything seemed in good working condition.

Raina followed Kiara and climbed into the burai next to her. Everything seemed to be in order.
"We'll be going soon!" Lelouch's voice echoed throughout the warehouse. "Get ready!"

Kiara opened a private channel between her and Raina's Burai while still keeping the main channel active to receive messages and instructions. "Everything alright on yoru end Raina?" she asked.

"Yep," Raina replied. "My head feels better too... now let's go be superheroes!"

Kiara rolled her eyes before smirking. "Alright Rai, let's go."
She started up her Burai and smirked as the consoles in front of her buzzed to life and lit up.
"Move out!" Lelouch/Zero's voice called over the main radio.

Kallen led the charge, Raina and Kiara flanking her. The Holy Blades were behind them, Zero following with the other forces and the truck containing Toudou's Knightmare.

The battle begun and soon Kiara was fighting through the security at the facility that Todou was being held in. She growled before releasing a slash harken.
"You alright Raina?" she asked over their private frequency.

"Fine," said Raina, dodging a police mech's gun and jumping in close with a sword. "You?"

"Good!" she called back. She growled as another Knightmare leapt in front of her. "Feel like tag teaming some of these guys? It'll get them outta our way faster then we can go in to get Todou."

(If we work together then it'll probably give Rakshata an excuse to give us a cool two piolet Knightmare)

"Sure thing," said Raina. She retreated slightly so that she was beside Kiara's Knightmare. "Let's do this."
