Chapter 45- Showing His Strength

"Lancelot, Launch."

Jack operated the Lancelot moving on it's fastest speed, Lloyd and Cecile crouch down to the ground avoiding the air impact created by it. Looking at it, Lloyd laughs happily, as Jack didn't fail his expectation. "HAHA, Going full throttle so suddenly?!"

"Wow, this machine is incredible, it can surprisingly follow all the martial arts I learn from the real world."Jack excitedly piloted the Lancelot to its highest performance.

Looking at the Sutherland in front of him, Jack charges with Lancelot moving instantly in front of the Knightmare Frame as he chops its head inducing the ejector to fly as the Sutherland exploded.

Lancelot is an Experimental Knightmare Frame produced by Lloyd Asplund and the Military Engineering Corps and named after the Knight of the Round Table. It is the first seventh generation Knightmare Frame ever fielded. The Lancelot exceeds most other models thanks to the amount of Sakuradite scattered throughout its frame as well as in its Yggdrasil Drive, the Core Luminous.

Lancelot features a large number of experimental and innovative devices not yet found on its predecessors. The Lancelot features two retractable Factspheres affixed on its chest, two forearm-mounted beam shields called Blaze Luminous, and four Slash Harkens, two on the wrist and hips. These Slash Harkens have experimental thrusters called Harken Boosters which can improve their speed and allow them to change direction mid-flight.

Using Slash Harken Jack maneuvered the Lancelot with it to fly mid-air while destroying all of the Sutherland coming against him. Seeing the bullet coming toward his direction, Jack smiled and didn't use the Blaze Luminous to test his skills on operating Knightmare.

Avoiding with strange movement, Jack used his Slash Harken as Knife cutting all of the bullets that were about to hit Lancelot while approaching the Sutherlands Knightmare with its speed not slowing at all.

Cutting the Sutherlands Knightmares heads with Slash Harken, Jack continuously destroyed all of the Knightmares making Lelouch gnash his teeth.

"This is Group B, enemy sighted!" A terrorist reported to Lelouch.

"Huh? Reinforcements?" Lelouch asked in curiosity.

"I guess real battle is different."

"What the situation?" Lelouch asked.

"Everyone escaped, but four machines were instantly..." A terrorist said with a worried voice.

"Number of enemies?"

"One machine, just one!"

"Eh." Surprise, Lelouch listen to the terrorist with doubt.

"Looks like a new machine, I've never seen that type Bef...Owaa!" Lelouch didn't hear the rest of the terrorist words because the communication is cut off.

"Hey, what happened?" Lelouch shouted.

Looking at the destroyed Sutherland, Jack found the Knightmare interesting as if he was playing a futuristic game!

Jack didn't kill any of the terrorists and only destroyed their machine to activate the ejector, knowing their importance toward the main character he didn't dare to hinder Lelouch much and killing innocent people that didn't hurt oneself is unreasonable.

Using the Slash Harken towards the two building to accelerate Lancelot speed, like a sling consisting of a looped strap, the Lancelot flew in incredible speed reaching the Speed of Sound. The pilot of Sutherland only see a thin line before the Ejector activated, the other Sutherland realizes this, but it was too late as they see a blur on their monitor before the machine Eject them.

"What should we do, the enemy Knightmare could move so fast that we only see a blur!" A terrorist panic as he reported to Lelouch.

"What?" Lelouch said in disbelieve.

"Yes, what should we do?" The terrorist asked.

"Ishida!" Before Lelouch can say anything, the communication cut off that made him quite disappointed.

"These terrorist are useless;" Lelouch said with contempt as he regarded them as a pawn. To him, all the terrorist are all idiot that only know how to create destruction without any goal, so that made him think lowly of them.

'It's only one machine they can't even handle it.' Lelouch thought.

"N4, N5, try to confine it there."

"When the high-maneuverability squads get there, surround it."

Looking at the two Sutherland making a distance to Lancelot while attacking, Jack couldn't help but smile. "Trying to stop me, Lelouch?"

Jack using the Slash Harken as support to add his speed as he charges toward one of Sutherland that about to retreat, but a stabbed by a sharp blade pierce through its head.

The other Sutherland retreated as he shoots Slash Harken towards Lancelot, Jack didn't dodge and only grab the Slash Harken breaking it to pieces, the terrorist who saw this is terrified and said. "How are we going to stop this monster!?"

"Hey, what happened?" Lelouch asked with anxiousness.

"What is it? What's going on?"

Clovis looking at it said. "Looks like, I've gotten myself yet unwanted debt from Elder Brother."

"However, with this..." Clovis smiled as he returns to his throne.

"Uwaa!"

"P3, What happened?" Lelouch shouted.

"Is the enemy truly just one machine?" Lelouch doubted.

On Lloyd side, Cecile looking at Lancelot is amaze. "Wow, I didn't know that Private Kururugi can destroy the Sutherland without using Blaze Luminous and only used the machine capability to avoid the bullet."

"These numbers exceeded than what we predicted they would be.' Cecile said.

Shock also appeared on Lloyd's face as he said. "Yeah, not using the Blaze Luminous means that Private Kururugi skills on operating a Knightmare is the same level with Knights of Round or even exceeded them."

Lloyd made a bright smile as he dances. "Yeah, Private Kururugi was fated to Lancelot with his skill we can see its full potential as it exceeds others Knightmares, and it seems that he's serious about doing this."

'Suzaku, huh.' Lloyd thought as he smiled with curiosity.

Destroying all of the enemy Sutherland, Jack looks at a specific building as he said. "It's time to end this."

"Damn! This, what happened;" Lelouch shouted.

While Lelouch felt frustrated, a Slash Harken pierce through the wall in front him then saw a white Knightmare dashing toward him.

Blocking the attack of Lancelot, Lelouch looks at the Knightmare as he sweated. "So this is him, the one who's messing with my plan!"

Jack look at Sutherland. "So you're the commander!" And acted like in the original story, Jack didn't plan to interfere with Lelouch much, so helping him a bit is not difficult at all.

"A mere pilot like you! How dare you!" Unconsciously step on his pride, Lelouch shouted in anger, then the building collapse as they fall on the ground.

Recovering his state, Lelouch said. "It can't be helped."

"I need to eject here!" Then the Knightmare that made him mad appeared again kicking his Sutherland's head, prepared for this Lelouch block his attack but still flew a meters away due to the force of Lancelot.

When Jack was about to Slash Harken, a Glassglow (An Old red Knightmare) missing the right hand appeared as it punches him.

"Hoy, I paid what I owe you;" Kallen said.

Jack held the Slash Harken that flew toward his face destroying it to fragment and destroyed its remaining arm. "So this is it." Then Kallen escapes with her cockpit using Ejector.

Looking at the place where the Sutherland disappeared, Jack smiled as he chases Lelouch in an unhurried manner.

"I guess, I must learn that the human factor is crucial during an actual battle," Lelouch said with serious expression, then his detector sense something as it resounded through the cockpit, looking at the back he saw the Knightmare that chasing him before.

Lelouch shoots toward Lancelot and the surrounding building to get him buried with debris, but it effortlessly dodged by Lancelot as it charges after him.

Seeing that, Lelouch was shocked as he shouted."What is that monster!?"

"Damn Lelouch, why the hell you're causing unnecessary destruction." Jack is worried that someone will be accidentally get dragged by their action, so spreading his Divine Sense, a sigh of relief escape his mouth seeing that no one beside them and the woman with a child like in the original story is on the area. Stopping his chase, Jack caught the woman with care and let her safely land on the ground.

Jack look at Lelouch with anger, using the Slash Harken to move in a speed that reaches the Speed of Sound, Lancelot appeared in front of Lelouch that made him jump with fright.

Using his Slash Harken, Jack easily cut both of Sutherland arms, feet and head that made the Ejector activated forcefully.

Lelouch's face turned pale as he didn't expect this to happen. 'What kind of monster is that!?'

Then a voice resounded through his head. "Careful with you're action next time or else I will kill you myself!"

(Hmm, hello guys!")
