Crunch.<br/><br/>The sound can be heard echoing for miles, after the shot hits, causing almost everyone to look skyward, as the Emperor's implacable flying fortress shudders, a massive dent appearing, the shot rolling off, leaving both a vulnerable hole in the shields, and the structure itself. Almost as if expecting it, two of the armored suits activate magical reserves, and enable flight, launching into the air, hurrying towards the fortress... mere moments before the death squads could arrive, to capture them. Lelouch and Shirley begin their skyward ascent, his chance at victory have shown itself.
