As two 'cons flew overhead, Arcee noticed a girl falling to her death next to them and immediately jumped up and grabbed her out of thin air. Transforming to her motorbike state, she said, "Hop on!"<br/><br/>With Lelouch and Rolo, Rolo stared at Lelouch as he got into Bumblebee's driver's side seat and smiled. getting in on the passenger side he stated, "You realize I can kill you at any moment in here, right?"<br/><br/>Lelouch, still smiling said "thirty two, thirty three thirty four, thirty fi-"<br/><br/>"Why are you counting like that?" Rolo asked him, frowning as though he knew the answer.<br/><br/>"You see this car's clock?" Lelouch asked as the digital clock sai 10:18:42 "You can't stop time, you simply altered my perception of it! I now live seven seconds behind of everyone else, and you live even further from the time stream than all the other times you used your Geass." He said calmly.<br/><br/>"That doesn't change the fact that I can just kill you here and now." Rolo said. Lelouch smirked and crossed his legs. "But you won't, dear "brother". you see... I have a plan, but I need you to help execute it."<br/><br/>An explosion to their left made Bumblebee rapidly change course and the boys were jolted around a bit. when it stopped and the boys regained their bearings, Rolo asked "And what makes you so sure I would help you?" to which Lelouch smirked. "An immortal witch told me so."<br/><br/>Rolo nodded. "If that is your way of handing her over, then-"<br/><br/>A larger explosion later and Arcee drove up with Gypsi and Bulkhead. Lelouch turned to face Rolo, "I would love to continue, but I have orders to give." and after donning his Zero helmet, stepped out of the car and walked over to Gypsi. Turning his frequency to one all the Black Knights could hear, he shouted through the radio. "Listen up! We need more charges than are available to us, so here is plan B! concentrate your efforts on getting the enemy to the lower levels. Then crush them and use their Nightmares as ammunition for the explosion power we need! Let us show Viceroy Colaris the difference between Strategy and Tactics!"<br/><br/>Several responses came all at once as the Black Knights got to work.<br/><br/>"Right!"<br/><br/>"Yeaheah! Let's crush those Britannian bastards!"<br/><br/>"It really is Zero! We can do this! He'll make a miracle happen for us!"<br/><br/>C.C. smiled and, muting her com, said. "Always one step ahead... Lelouch."<br/><br/>"Gypsi. Here, take this Nightmare frame for a test drive. I need to commandeer your Motorcycle." Zero said, pointing to Bumblebee as the sports car transformed and waved, making several beeps. Arcee chose this moment to say, "Oh hell no! I am not letting some fancypants mask wearing hood ornament ride on me!"<br/><br/>Zero looked at the bike. "Ah, I see, you must be an ally of the other three frames I met earlier. In that case I will ask nicely." He bowed to her in a dramatic way. "I am Zero! And what, pray tell, do I refer to a lady such as yourself as?"<br/><br/>Arcee transformed to 'bot mode and blinked. "Are theatrics in the middle of a firefight necessary?" She said. A Nightmare frame that got lucky shot her in the back. She was about to blast it, but Zero caught her attention.<br/><br/>"Gypsi, commandeer that Nightmare frame. Go help Q1<span style="color: #00FF00">(OOC/// Kallen Kozuki's Number assigned by Zero)</span>on level 21 with clearing a path to the lower levels!" He walked up to said nightmare and looked into the cockpit's viewscreen. "Zero commands you! surrender your Nightmare frame to my cause!"<br/><br/>The man inside answered him as he left the frame. "The code is FE221LRQ6." and then handed Gypsi the keys and walked away.<br/><br/>Zero turned to Optimus as the lead 'bot caught up to them making sure none of the Nightmares pilots got killed while at the same time protecting Bumblebee and disabling their units.<br/><br/>"Optimus. The sanctity of human life doesn't exist for a Britannian. Since you do not know, I will spell it out for you. The emperor has stated that people should quote: curse their own wretched birth for not having been born with power! end quote. I ask you here and now: Will you win a war, or will you allow them to regroup? I realize your values say do not kill if it is not necessary, but I assure you. To end a war, death of men is inevitable!"<br/><br/>As if to emphasize his point, An explosion erupted behind him and the ceiling caved in and Vehicons surrounded the 'bots. Arcee frowned. "Scrap!"
