"You are self-centered. Everything you did was never for her sake."

The words stung, but the apparition disappeared the moment it said it, just as sudden as it appeared. To Lelouch, who had been a firm believer in facts before baseless guessing; The apparition was the very one that was mentioned in the post Yu made; which, if his words were to be believed.

"Wasn't it? Then tell me the answer-"

He spoke to thin air, just as the apparition appeared once more, his figure being a mockery of the chess piece Zero was based off.

"You, of all people should know better, about how I feel about her."

All the accusation did, unfortunately, was to cause the masked figure to shudder, before letting loose a surreal laugh, lacking any manner of sanity.

"Her? She's just something you used for a reason to take over the world! Hell, all you wanted was to let everyone feel the pain of being dethroned from their rightful position!"

To those wandering around the area, you might see the two of them arguing over their past actions.

A weakened nod would be all she could spare for the man who sounded identical to her brother, Nunnally's eyes unable to vanquish the vision of her fallen brother. The way his thin form sprawled out on the floor left her feeling more helpless than ever that she couldn't rise to her feet, that she couldn't pull him into her arms and carry him from this dangerous place.

For a moment she wondered if he would even do the same for her now. The brother she spent her entire life relying on would have had her killed in the eyes of the public if it meant creating a world...

What kind of world did he want now? If this Shadow felt the same as her brother, if this was how Lelouch vi Britannia truly felt about the world, then why did she just want to hold him tightly in her arms?

"If that kind of place would make him happy... is it wrong of me to want it for him?"

[doublechecks]

If the Shadow heard what Nunnally just said; it certainly didn't do any actions that showed signs that it reciprocated her statement; rather- It just waved it's mechanic arm; and pointed at Yoshitsune as two more giant robots appeared from the shadows.

...

Well, they sure can charge pretty quickly, as both of them crossed the distance in no time at all-!

[pitiedthefool]

Would it...? To be honest, he doesn't exactly have an answer for it. Yet he knew one thing for certain. If he didn't change something and fast, they could all be in danger of death. Izanagi wouldn't have that at all, especially for someone who seemed to be defenseless right now.

It reminded him of someone else he knew.

"Change!"

Yoshitsune returned to being a card, the Arcana switching to Judgement before he could think twice of it. Lucifer appears when he crushes the card in his grasp, and in that instant... it's like his personality changed as well.

'Oh my gods I'm really about to fight mechs this is so cool.'

Also deadly, but hush.

"I do not know what kind of life the both of you have led up until this point, but make no mistake..." He flourishes his hand, Lucifer mimicking his movements to a T. "If this isn't defeated, he will die. He will end up worse for it when he returns, too."

And they can't allow that to happen, so they'll face this Shadow and the mechs with them. The idiot.

"LUCIFER."

Without a word from the giant blue, red and demonic monstrosity, they both crush their fists. A mind charged Mabufudyne falls all around them and toward the mechs. This would be so much easier if he knew the weaknesses, but he's willing to try them out one at a time if necessary.

[moralitypet]

He will die. He will die. He will die. He will die. He will die. He will die. He will die. He will die. He will die. He will die. He will die. He will die. He will die.

"No, brother!" Rarely did she ever lose her cool, but here she would be. With a blood-curling scream and everything. "Get up!"

A world without her brother... Nunnally just left such a place behind. To think of not having him here in this place (despite the 'he returns' remark) left her sick in ways she never thought possible. Instead, she would consider leaving the safety of her wheelchair just to drag her brother's body back away from this abomination, from this twisted vision of his true self.

[doublechecks]

Lelouch was slowly regaining his consciousness; but nevertheless the raging battle did nothing to mute the sound of Nunnally's scream, which motivated him to stand up, albeit really slowly.

"I've always wanted to be the king of my own world!"

The Shadow roared as both the giant robots were pushed back, the red one even more so; it appeared that it's knocked down! It's a shame that the white one decided to do a jumping spin kick towards Lucifer, undeterred by that attack.

[pitiedthefool]

Yu braced himself, Lucifer taking the blow with unnatural grace though TV static began to form where he took the hit. Yet his user didn't seem to be allowing it to affect him. Lucifer cast Bufudyne on the red robot once more, earning them an opportunity to strike a second time.

Such foolishness...

He shook the thought from his mind as he commanded Lucifer to return to his soul, calling forth Kohryu in the prince of demons' stead. It isn't long before a Mind Charged Maziodyne falls upon all three targets. Never mind that a certain voice was growing even louder in his head, whispering...

[doublechecks]

The sight of a barrier repelling the thunder shouldn't really be surprising to Yu now, but indeed, that was what happened when the spell was cast. The black-leader type robot's hexagon barrier absorbed some of it, while the rest of the hit connected to it.

"-!"

It didn't do a lot of damage, though.

---

The white mech dodged it again, while the more cumbersome red one seemed to be knocked down; being unable to move as the Maziodyne dealt quite the amount of damage.

Fortunately, though, there's an opening within the white mech's movement that Yu can probably exploit if he saw it.

[pitiedthefool]

Lucifer cast Bufudyne on the red mech once more before glowing of the same blue light again. Yu noticed the changes, making note of them the best he could since he was the only combatant here.

"Change... Yoshitsune!"

The legendary samurai warrior appeared once more, left eye glowing red as it lifts his sword and strikes at all three of them with Hassou Tobi, the strongest physical attack it knew, six times each as red energy blades struck at them from all sides. He would attempt to exploit the weaknesses he knew the best he could, because he wasn't about to let Lelouch die here. No matter how pathetic this Shadow is to hide behind two pawns.

"A king who hath lost his love for his subjects is naught but a fool destined to fall."

...There is sadness and disappointment in his voice, but was it truly him that had spoken-?

[doublechecks]

Fortunately, the Hassou Tobi actually pierced through the barrier, stumbling the giant robot as it crashed to the ground unceremoniously as it pointed both it's wrist at Yu, shooting two large orbs of pure red energy as it tried to recover it's systems.

The other two, decided at that point to unleash their weapons; the white one a cannon of sorts, while the red one just propped it's arms towards Yu, before both of them shoot out well, bullets and giant beams to your face as well.

Hope you can deal with Almighty damage, Yu.

why do my notifs hide from meeeee ;;;;;

[pitiedthefool]

Son. of. a bitch.

It's a good thing his defense is high and that he has Diarahan available (an ability he just used as the smoke cleared from both attacks, courtesy of Sraosha). His glare was even more piercing than ever, now.

Enjoy the switch to Devil Arcana and thus Beelzebub, and what was that fly going to do but the one ability most Shadows feared above all else but a Mind Charged Megidolaon.

He mad. Yu very mad.
