Kamen Rider Date A Live
Page 16
Following Lelouch's decision, a 7-meter-tall mecha descended in front of him.
To Lelouch's astonishment, this mech was about twice the size of a mass-produced Knightmare, and compared to the Knightmare, it didn't look like a mech at all, but rather like a suit of armor worn by a person! However, this also showed that its agility was definitely superior!
While the lower half of the mecha has minimal armor, the upper half is quite different. It features heavy armor with a silver base and red accents, a silver helmet for the head, a pair of short horns on the forehead, and a single blue goggle for the eye.
"This...this is the real face..."
"Yay! I can finally move around in human form! Thank you, Master!"
The mech emitted cheerful sounds and walked around, then performed kicks and backflips that mass-produced Knightmare could never do!
Seeing this mecha, which possessed its own consciousness, perform a series of actions that any human could easily do, Lelouch took a deep breath and gave the mecha a very high score in his mind.
"Hmm... Oh. By the way, what's the name of this mech? Is it the same as your name?"
"It's the Kabuto mecha! Its title is 'Sun God'! Of course, Master, you can give it any other name you like."
"Oh. I'll think about it later, how to turn her back?"
Lelouch gave a perfunctory answer, then turned to ask the guy with glasses next to him.
"Just say 'recall-vent'. After recalling her, I also need to undo the time stop... Oh, and you'd better tell Kabuto-Zector to communicate with her through telepathy. Finally, a friendly reminder: Kabuto's nemesis, Gatack, has also found a suitable candidate. Don't get killed by Gatack! He'll come looking for you from time to time."
After speaking, Eyes disappeared. Seeing this, Lelouch recalled Kabuto without hesitation and put him in his pocket.
At the same time, the world regained its color.
"Hmm, my eyes are a little uncomfortable... Hmm?! Kabuto-Zector, you're not wrong, are you?!"
Just as Lelouch was about to become numb with shock, a loud commotion startled him awake, and he looked toward the door from which the sound had come.

The Fifth Reverse Awakening of the God of War (1)
The Fifth Reverse Awakening of the God of War (1)
boom!
The moment Lelouch turned his head, the warehouse door suddenly exploded, and in a cloud of smoke, a figure a little over 4 meters tall appeared in front of Lelouch.
That was clearly a fifth-generation production Knightmare – the Sutherland. As it appeared, the camera on the Sutherland's head turned on and began to look at the situation.
In the control room in Sutherland, a silver-haired woman in an Imperial Army uniform watched the horrific scene unfold in the warehouse through a camera and was shocked, prompting her to ask questions.
"Why, are the royal guards all..."
The silver-haired man inside saw the corpses of the royal guards on the ground through the scanner, as well as Lelouch, the only living person, who stood calmly among the corpses. Then, the giant gun in his hand was aimed at Lelouch, but Lelouch did not make any move, because he was betting that the other party would not kill him directly at first, but would ask for information first.
"What on earth happened here?! Why are Britannian students here? Answer me now! Otherwise..."
Rat-a-tat-tat!!!
The humanoid mech raised its weapon and fired several large bullet holes into the wall behind Lelouch. Sunlight streamed through these holes, adding a touch of warmth to this hellish environment.
(Should I use Kabuto to take down the opponent...? No, given Kabuto's size, revealing it too early might cause unnecessary commotion. For now, let's use the power in my eyes first.)
In a split second, Lelouch had come up with a plan.
"Get down here! Do as I say right now!"
Lelouch activated his Geass Eye and calmly addressed the two-story-tall mech in front of him, but this time he failed, as the mech's gun was pointed directly at him.
"Who do you think you are, kid? Tell me everything you know right now!"
It's unclear what suddenly drove Lelouch to madness, but he spoke in a tone befitting a high-ranking noble (Lelouch's true identity is even more powerful than a noble), but the silver-haired man didn't care about any of that, pointing his gun directly at Lelouch!
"I see. So, it's not allowed to just see the other person directly?"
Having realized Geass's weakness, Lelouch quickly came up with the simplest solution: he raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and told a rather small lie.
“My name is Alan Spessa, my father is an earl, and I have my ID card in my pocket. Please ensure my safety after verifying my identity.”
Upon hearing Lelouch's fabricated identity, the silver-haired woman in the cockpit hesitated for a moment, but still removed the identification device, opened the hatch, and got out. After all, the kid's tone and demeanor were very similar to those of nobles (no way! He's a prince!). The silver-haired woman never expected Lelouch to dare lie using such a high (or low) status as a count, and thus, she was doomed.
"Stay where you are and don't move. I'll get the ID card myself."
Pointing a gun at Lelouch, he approached him, and a slight smile appeared on Lelouch's lips as he watched someone fall for his attack so easily.
"Sure, now give me your Knightmare! Don't make a move before I leave!" Lelouch activated Geass again, and this time it worked.
"Understood, the identification code is xg2-ic2d4."
A layer of red light appeared in the silver-haired man's eyes. He then handed the pistol and the identifier to Lelouch and stood there motionless. Lelouch took the identifier, which looked no different from a USB flash drive, and his eyes revealed an aura of dominance.
“Very good… Kabuto-Zector, can you hack into and manipulate this Knightmare?”
Lelouch knew his own limitations and asked the Kabuto-Zector in his pocket.
"Master, I'm sorry, I can't do it. I can't hack into Knightmare. If you want me to replace your phone, I can make calls that no one can overhear. I can also be a hacker; as a mechanical life form, hacking into networks to find information is a piece of cake for me. And why use such a fragile Knightmare? My true form is clearly the strongest!"
Kabuto-Zector let out a pitiful sound, which startled Lelouch, who then felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.
"Oh, your size is really conspicuous, so using this mass-produced machine as a smokescreen is the best option. It's not that I don't trust you. Hmm... calling you 'Kabuto-Zector' all the time is a bit inconvenient. How about I give you a codename, 'Mokou'?" (This is the author's grand cosmic consciousness! (Big fog))
"Thank you for the name, Master! By the way, when I flew back to Master's side just now, I felt that the green-haired woman was still breathing, but when I looked closer, I couldn't feel it. I wasn't sure, so I mentioned it to Master earlier."
Upon hearing this, Lelouch looked intently at the corpse of the green-haired girl lying before him. The bullet had struck her squarely between the eyebrows, nearly piercing her skull. Anyone who suffered such an injury would likely not survive. However, having just experienced two supernatural events in those few short minutes, Lelouch began to feel uncertain.
"...Is that so...Never mind. Mokou, let's talk about you first. Explain your abilities and what this so-called gatack is."
As Lelouch entered the Sutherland control room, he also asked Mokou, who had flown into the control room and landed on his shoulder.
"Understood, Master!"
After activating Sunderland, Lelouch was about to leave when the image of the green-haired girl's corpse flashed across the screen. He paused for a moment, then made a very irrational decision.
"...Never mind, let's clean it up anyway."
Yes, he would never admit that he wanted to give the green-haired girl a proper burial; he just didn't want the body of his body to attract too much attention. Yes! That's right!!
...............
"Huh? What happened to me?"
The silver-haired woman (a tragic figure) stood for a long time before regaining consciousness. Looking at the empty ground in front of her, she couldn't remember what had happened, and for some reason, her legs were so sore.
—Suzaku--
"What a pity~~~"
Suzaku, who thought he could finally die, heard a somewhat deranged voice and couldn't help but open his eyes. Looking towards the source of the voice, he saw a man with light purple hair speaking to him.
"You missed out on paradise, Private First Class Kururugi."
"Um... oh... where am I?"
Zhuque tried to stand up, but paused due to pain in her upper body before she could finish her sentence.
Lloyd, the man with light purple hair, also answered Suzaku's question.
"Huh? Ah! It's still the Shinjuku slums."
The beautiful assistant with purple-blue hair, Cecilia, continued the conversation.
"But this place is right next to Prince Clovis, so it's the safest place."
At the same time, Cecil stretched out his hand, on which was a pocket watch placed on a handkerchief, and spoke to Suzaku about the reason for his survival.
"Suzaku-kun, this is what protected you."
"But it only stopped the bullets from entering the protective suit."
Is it something important?
"Yes, that's right..."
Zhuque took the pocket watch, but his eyes were full of complicated emotions.
Lloyd then continued talking to himself.
"Speaking of which, the Eleven people seem to have a belief that all things are inhabited by spirits, and that's what..."
Lloyd was interrupted by Suzaku's words before he could finish speaking.
"Ah! Um, Lelouch... how is she?"
Halfway through the conversation about Suzaku, he remembered Lelouch's identity, hesitated for a moment, and changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, it seems the poison gas has spread, reportedly causing huge casualties in the Eleven district."
"It seems the culprit hasn't been found yet."
Lloyd set the stage, and Cecil finished speaking.
"Really... not yet..."
(Strange, why...)
Suzaku began to find it strange, but the next moment, Lloyd spoke.
"Private First Class Kururugi, I need to talk to you about something. Could I take up a little of your time?"
"Oh? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Although he was curious about asking someone like himself, an eleven, to do something, Suzaku asked out of politeness.
"Don't be surprised! There are only two known to exist in the world—oh my!~~"
As Lloyd spoke, he deliberately began to draw out the syllables, but not long after, the lower half of his white coat was suddenly cut open, causing Lloyd to utter a strange sound.
"What are you waiting for! I've finally found someone who might be my chosen one, and I don't want you having time to play around. Besides, Kabuto has already appeared! As the 'God of War,' I haven't fought in a long time! Even the 'Sun God' Kabuto has found his chosen one, so even I can't resist causing a ruckus!!"
Under Suzaku's incredulous gaze, a blue mechanical stag beetle, no bigger than a palm, flew out from Lloyd's body, emitting a mature female voice full of vigorous fighting spirit!

P.S.: Not many people said it made me very sad, so there will only be two updates.
"Oh my, Gatack, you're really impatient~ You can't wait to fight—but, is it true that Kabuto appeared and found the Chosen One?"
Although Lloyd may seem like a crazy guy, there's no denying that, personality aside, Lloyd is a true genius!
Although, due to Gatack's own limitations, he couldn't conduct any excessive research (like disassembling it) for the past seven years, Lloyd discovered through long-term study that Gatack's current miniature mechanical body was formed through super compression. The principle involved spatial issues, and when Lloyd first witnessed that process, he didn't even notice his glasses falling to the ground.
