Not much I can think to say for this chapter. If I'm understanding things, it looks like the bit players and opposition are being trimmed down for the finale as Sawasaki and Schneizel have been removed from the playing field, though Charles and V.V. are still contenders.

Cornelia's response to the bedroom scene with Kallen and Lelouch was weird as I would imagine Cornelia being the sort to burst in with objections if she thought "anything" was going on. However, if she overheard Lelouch make the comparisson to spending time with Marianne, I could see her staving off her fury and leaving the two of them to talk as Lelouch comparing anyone to his mother is high praise indeed, and would tell Cornelia that whatever Lelouch feels for Kallen, he isn't going to do anything careless.

For ending ideas, I'd suppose that whatever Charles and/or V.V. need to do, they would need to do it in Japan, thus drawing them there for a confrontation. Alternately, Lelouch or C.C. feel a disturbance through the World of C or Eden Vital or whatever and deduce that they need to head to Pendragon to stop whatever they are planning. They could use conventional transportation, or attack the Kamine island ruins, secure them, and then use the Door of Twilight to send themselves directly into the lair of their enemies. The Lost Soldiers could be sent to the Gobi Desert to take out the Directorate while Lelouch and a few others head to Pendragon and have some manner of duel with the Knights of the Round and then Charles himself (all caught on television of course).

Since he can't pilot a knightmare to save his life, Lelouch could use his power to summon the Guren and convert it into an upgraded version of the Guren SEITEN for Kallen, rather than call out the Gawain for himself. Kallen could then face The Rounds and Suzaku or be joined by Suzaku in facing the Rounds as well as the Britannian military, as Lelouch faced off against Charles who could either summon a Knight Giga Fortress, or have his own powers similar to Lelouch's, or both.

Sorry for the late review. I've been busy with work and other crap. Another great chapter and you're still not disappointing in the action department. Zero fighting with ninjas was just so cool and he finally revealed his identity to Sayoko. It's really interesting that you're mixing in some stuff from NoN, because I think that manga was way better than the anime. And I agree with you about Norio Wakamoto. That guy is just epic. Anyhoo, I hope you post the next chapter soon.

I just want to ask one thing. Why is the jgsdf in this they shouldn't exist in this parallel world, since WWII ended with different results.

Hm...A good chapter, but I do have a few issues with its mechanics.

First, when Lelouch says he knows the place like the back of his own head, "head" should be "hand." I'm pretty sure it's just a spelling error, but I wanted to mention it because as it is, it becomes a phrase that means the exact opposite of what is intended. No on can naturally look at the back of their own head, they need at least two mirrors.

The scenes themselves were fine, and the interactions between Cornelia, Lelouch, Kallen, and others are feeling a bit more natural, but this time the back and forth scene shifts felt a little too frequent and abrupt for me, especially when it came to the fight scenes. It might have been better to merge some of the split up parts into longer segments.

Lastly, I'm confused as to why Marc didn't try to use his Geass to locate Darlton and any traps as soon as he was near the staduim, or to try and take shots from behind cover without exposing himself.

The fight with Jeremiah against Zero and Sayoko was good, and it was interesting to have Kallen be a sniper, rather than grab a chair and jump out a window to join the fray.

As alwaus, superb writing my friend! I can't wait till you update your chapter! I shall wait patiently though... Cheers ♠

Cool an update. Looks like you been pretty busy but take your time, man. Story and pacing is still solid.

You blew my mind.. like always! can't wait till you update! Cheers ♠

Nice, creative, action-packed... But I do want Lelouch/Kallen. I mean Lelouch/Cornelia?! I would rather do Lelouch/Euphie. Hello? Age difference mean anything to you?

I'm going to say "ouch" for Mao and Mao, and that things will be interesting for Kallen and Ken in the future.

Upcoming invlovement from Jeremiah and Darlton looks like it could make things interesting.

There's not really much else I can think of.

great so far plez continue

oh so she is dead. Sucks to be her.

The thing with Mao is that he's as smart as his enemy is, but otherwise, he is extremely simple in his thought process.

If Marc can detect everything around himself, then he at least would not need to shoot blindly from cover, as he could aim as easily as if he were looking at his target normally. The problem is that Mao will also have access to Marc's Geass if he activates it, but the possible advantage is that the two of them reading and predicting each other would cause Mao to lose some of his focus on the others (like how Suzaku surprised him in the anime).

Even if he can still detect the others through Marc's Geass, he would be too focused on Marc himself, since each one would have access to Marc's power and strategies. It would however, be easier for Zero or the other Lost Soldiers to get around Mao, or surround him, since he will eventually run out of ammunition, and they still have the clear numerical advantage (unless Mao has placed bombs, but Marc would sense those), especially if Marc or someone else does a steady job of keeping him pressured so he can't pause to reassess everyone's locations and plans.

I can't think of much else to add at this point on the ending, aside from thinking about which sort of Geass you plan to give Charles, his anime memory altering Geass, or the NoN Geass 'The Dead Rise,' or a new one altogether. Since the NoN characters can conjure their own knightmares, then perhaps one of the Maos could do the same, and Charles could be able to summon a Knight Giga Fortress like the Seigfreid, but with more projectile based weapons.

well we finally get some euphie in this chap so yeahy!

Female Mao wants to cure her cellular breakdown and it has something to do with Nemo and Nunnally, right? Anyway, this chapter doesn't have much action but it was still good. It has some good character interactions and more Tom Clancy-like stuff from the Lost Soldiers. Kudos again on weapon details. You sure know your guns and that's kinda scary lol.

It looks like you got some health problems and I hope you get well. Anyhoo, I already have some ideas on how to end the main HFTM story and I'm making a new Gundam 00 fic that is set after the series. I'll be posting the prologue soon.

WOW this story is like an awesome roller coaster it is. Great job with the lost soldiers really. Cheers ♠
