Code Infinity c8

"Well, give me an abridged version. I already did my research on him. Now I just need to compare my data with yours." Raynor said as he took his seat in his office.

There is already a large stack of paperwork waiting for him.

'Paperwork…so primitive. We're gonna need to upgrade the bureaucracy of this place.'  For a second the CEO frowned as he inspected the papers for a bit.

"Of course."

The silver-haired woman started explaining things from their perspective.

It was everything he remembers, only the difference was that she was telling from her side which was not as bad. But still, they failed quite spectacularly.

"I see…"

So far the pair were quite relieved that he is throwing a fit or something like that. Honestly, he looks like a competent leader so far.

"Now, you two, what do you think is hidden under that mask?" Raynor's question got the pair off-guard.

"Just tell me your honest opinion."

First, one to answer was Kewel Soresi. He gave the answer that one would expect from a Britannian Purist no less.

"I think he is just eleven who loves theatrics."

Ryanor didn't say anything as he just nodded, he then looked at Villieta.

"...I think he is a half-blood who has delusions about Britannia."

This time the new Sub-Viceroy smirked at her.

"You were not far from the mark, Villieta Nu." He praised her for coming quite close. It takes balls to believe that one from the inside is doing this.

The pair had raised eyebrows. Their first thought was that he knows who Zero is!?

"...Sir…you know who he is?" They obviously could not contain their curiosity, same with Leila and Euphemia.

"I know that he is a Brittanian Noble."

"!!!"

The shock spread through the whole room.

"B-But…why!?" Kewel Soresi exclaimed with disbelief, he doesn't dare to question Raynor's judgement, he just doesn't think such a thing would ever cross his mind!

A noble rebelling!? They are the most privileged people in the Empire! Why would anyone want to rebel against the biggest Empire in the world!?

"That I do not know." The CEO shook his head, he was pretending of course. The game has to last as long as it needs to. So he is revealing the very minimum.

"His clothes tell pretty much everything, he reveals his character through his getup. The black and purple colours. The mask looks like a crown. Even his arrogance." As Raynor said he placed a small device on the table and pressed a button on it. The device activated and it showed a small 3D image of Zero.

The pair were for a second impressed with the technology but then they looked at the holographic image of the terrorist.

Now that he mentioned they started to look at his clothes with more attention.

'That's royal purple…'

Both of them noticed the clothes, which are harder to notice because of the cloak but now that they can in more detail they notice the secondary colour which is the royal colour, a colour used by the royals.

"Does he think he is royalty!?"

The brown-haired Britannian exclaimed with some fury. He was pissed that this terrorist is making a mockery of the Britannian Royal family!

"Maybe he is using these colours and costumes to provoke the royals and in turn the army?" Villeta Nu said with a thoughtful look. She was much calmer than her fellow pure blood.

"Maybe, anyway, next is his height and body type. I want this info to be spread through the police force and the military, if they see someone suspicious with those make sure they are apprehended and the government notified. Though don't do anything too harsh. We are after all looking for leads."

The pair gave him salutes.

"Good, now send in the government officials. I want to see the economical situation of Area 11."

"Understood, thank you for your time Sub-Viceroy."

The pair left with quite satisfied smiles on their lips. This went far better than they had thought!

The moment the doors closed Leila started to speak.

"You know more than you told them." The blonde said with an almost deadpan look. She realised that this is an absolute possibility. Ultron's true loyalty is to his creator there is the possibility that the A.I. told a few things to him and didn't say anything to her!

"Of course."

"Ray!"

Euphemia pouted at him.

"It's only a hunch, my darling princess. I don't like talking about small possibilities and letting people go on a wild goose chase."

'Damn you, Leila! You are far too smart for this!' Internally the CEO could only sweat how observant his blonde darling was!

"Fine! But I expected you to share things with Cornelia! After all, my brother has died because of this Zero!" The girl said with a slightly angry tone. However, she is with Raynor so she fully believes they will succeed in bringing that criminal to justice.

"No worries, I will tell her a few theories about who this guy could be."

Hearing that made Euphemia calm down quite a bit.

A few moments later the Officials started to gather in his office bringing their reports on the Economy of Area 11.

~~~~~~Outside~~~~~~

The guards on the lookout noticed an approaching machine in the sky. The first thing which stood out was the particles this thing was emitting. It was two colours, which is different from the usual one they saw.

They saw this jet plane like a model flip and transform it! It was different in colouring and weapons it was wielding.

The first thing they thought was that this thing was a custom model!

And they were right as this model landed next to a container. The hatch opened at the chest area and a female pilot exited it.

It was a Britannian girl no older than the CEO of Valeron Industries and his followers.

As she moved out the machine moved on its OWN without a pilot! Not only that the mobile suit helped her to get on the ground before proceeding to move toward the container. The container then reacted to the machine and started to transform into a throne of some sort, once the mobile suit sat down the throne started to change back to its original form with the mobile suit inside of it locked up.

"How advanced are those things? They move on their own, they fly without propulsion, and from the reports, their weapons are extremely powerful!" One of the guards could not control himself and asked his pals.

"Beats me, we are having bets, some bet that Valeron is an alien, and others say he is from the future. I say he is some sort of genius who has too much time on his hands."

"Heh? Pinch me in, I am betting 5 pounds that he is an Alien." the original one pulled out a five-pound note with Charles' face on it.

As they were talking, they quickly noticed the approaching pilot of that custom machine.

"Where can I find Sub-Viceroy?" The regal-looking girl asked with a small frown.

"Sub-Viceroy is in his office! My Lord."

"It's Princess, but whatever, show me where he is."

They all paled when they heard that she is royalty! Now they fucked up big time!

"Yes, my Princess!" One of the guys swiftly started to guide the Princess to Raynor's office.

Once they were out of hearing distance the remaining two started to swear.

"Fuck! We should have known that Valeron would make royals pilot those things!" One exclaimed with some panic.

"Tell me about it!"

At that moment another model flew over it had two colours as well! This one was quite different from the others! It didn't have plane mode, it was purely Humanoid.

The golden and red mobile suit landed next to its container and another female pilot exited. It was a blonde and she screamed knighthood to the two remaining guards at the entrance.

Once again the machine helped the girl get down before proceeding to sit on its throne which soon transformed back into its container form.

A few moments later she walked over to the pair who gave her a proper salute.

"Did the princess return from her mission?"

"Yes my Lord, she went to see Sub-Viceroy."

The blonde girl nodded.

"Good, one of you showed me where his office is, I need to give my report to him." The blonde said with a commanding tone. They didn't question her, from the looks of it she is the Princess' knight so it's suicidal to ask for a name or rank, besides she is with Valeron, and they don't question what is happening with Valeron. They have a massive airship above their heads as it is.

It's such brutal work being a simple guard in the Britannian Empire…

~~~~~~Newly Established Area 18~~~~~~

After taking care of business with conquering the Middle East Princess Cornelia was boarding her jet which will take her to Area 11.

She was followed by her knights. Once she was in her seat. Her knight Gilbert had a report for her already.

"Princess, we have a report from Area 11. It appears… Raynor Valeron already made his move." The man with a professional voice started to speak while handing over the report.

"Oh? Is he already on the move? That's quick…it has been only a few days since I spoke with him." The older sibling of Euphemia said with a curious tone.

She started to check the files she was handed over to.

The moment she opened it, it was filled up with pictures. The Witch of Britannia started to check them first.

However, the more she looked at them the worse her mood became. Eventually, she couldn't handle it and slammed her hand on the table!

"I can't believe his gall! Instead of giving me one of these custom models he handed it over to someone else!" The woman sounded like a 12 year old who didn't get her favourite toy!

"...Umm…Princess… maybe there is a reason…?" Gilbert tried to fix this situation somehow.

"Of course there is! HE is most likely messing with me!" She said that with almost a pouty tone.

However, she snapped out and brushed the pictures with two unique custom mobile suits away and instead started to read the file.

'He brought over at least four custom models with him. According to the witnesses they are partially autonomous, the weaponry is beam technology, and the preliminary observation says that these beams COULD be based on the particles these machines emit.

Most of this is just speculation with no hard evidence. I guess I have to ask him directly or have a talk with Euphie. How embarrassing is this? Our scientists are simply useless in front of this technology wielded by a mere company.'

Even after all this time, Cornelia is still sour that a mere company has pushed her family's Empire to act as equal or even as a mere subordinate to a corporation created by a teenager! The world surely is getting more insane with each passing day!

Eventually, Cornelia saw the pictures and the names of the two pilots of these machines.

A small smile appeared on her face when she saw one of the names!

'Marrybell mel Britannia…haven't seen or heard this name for years. At least he knows who to pick to pilot these things.'

The Witch of Britannia thought about her half-sibling, she could not remember anything bad about her, in truth, she remembers that her little sister used to stay with Marrybell in their younger years.

After checking who pilots them she started to read the profiles of these two pilots.

For a bit, she had a thoughtful look when she read something about Marrybell.

'It appears she has an intense hatred towards terrorists. Maybe this is what Raynor is using to get her on board more easily. Though if this is true his network is far deeper than I thought…'

Honestly, she felt a chill pass through her back. For a second she closed her eyes and thought about this more. Before looking again at the picture of the purple and gold machine.

'A Gundam huh… What a peculiar name…'

There was a certain glint in her eyes, followed by a need. She will be getting her hands on one of these!
