5. Code Geass: Starting of Rebellion

“Ex-Excuse me for my intrusion.” The Lady with long midnight hair like a canvas and beautiful violet eyes shyly gets in. She wore a beautiful light purple dress with violet Lady Shoe. Everyone in the room except for Lelouch who smiled at her was looking at her with wide eyes. She is both beautiful and graceful. Although she is wearing simple clothes, one look can tell she is a noble with high status. Milly jumped onto the Lady with violet eyes and said, “Hello, I am Milly Ashford. What can the Student Council Team help you with?” The Lady smiled lovely at them and told her, “Forgive me for my rudeness. I am Meiya Lamperouge. I came here to see Lelouch and Nunally, my younger siblings.” Everyone in the room once again watches Lelouch and Meiya back and forth. After a while, they yelled at the same time, “Ehhhhh?!!!”

At the Residence of Lamperouge siblings,

When Nunally was having tea, the door was pushed open, revealing Lelouch and Meiya. Sayoko greeted her master, “Welcome home, Sir. Shall I prepare tea for the guest?” Lelouch replied, “Yes, please.” Lelouch and Meiya sat beside Nunally side by side. Nunally listened to the sound and asked, “Onii sama, Welcome home.” Lelouch replied, “I am back, Nunally.” Then, she faced the other person in the room and smiled, “Hello, My name is Nunally Lamperouge. Nice to meet you.” The other person didn’t reply instead she heard the sobbing sounds of a woman. Nunally was confused and was about to say something but she felt a hand hold her warmly. It was both strong and gentle. Her eyes become teary and she called out to the person who was missing in her life for a long time. “Onee sama?” Then, she was embraced into warm arms and she heard the woman say, “Yes, Lily. It’s me, your older sister. I am here. I am here. Your older sister is here.” Her older sister rubbed her back gently and cried. Nunally smiled and her tears stream down her face. “What a relief, Onee sama. You are alive and well. Please don’t cry. I am fine.” Meiya gritted her teeth and said, “Onee san will stop crying. She is very happy to see her Lily again so she cried with joy. That’s all. This time Onee san will stay by Lily’s side without leaving Lily nor ChuChu again.” Lelouch watched everything sideline without interrupting his siblings. ‘The sad look of Onee san and the smile of Nunally. These are what keep him alive and insane. At the same time, his motivation to obliterate Britannia.’ Lelouch smiled when his older sister smiled at him.

Meiya requested Lelouch and Nunally a day off to student council so she spent the entire day with her siblings, laughing and joking as a normal family would. While she is having her time with her siblings, her Death Knights were watching their all-time-emotionless- Empress in the dark recording the faces their Empress made. Their Empress is beautiful like a Fairy when she laughs like that. They knew their Empress had lost her smile when she was young but sometimes, she would show a glimpse of her real self in front of them. She would care for them but didn’t want to get too close. She would worry about them but didn’t want anyone to worry about her. She put them at arm-length and built walls that cannot be easily broken down. In their Tempest army, there are only 40% that are human. Others are her high-tech robot with human intelligence; both good at fighting and expressing their emotions. They are just like ordinary humans except for the unexpected or strange questions that they asked when they wanted to know something that peaked their attention. She operates everything in the dark while protecting everyone by her side. She always closed her heart even when they sow an oath to her. Now is different. She had found her family and the frozen heart that doesn’t melt easily is now slowly but surely melting because of her siblings. Love is the most powerful weapon for either creation or destruction in the world.

Meiya waited for Nunally to sleep and got out of her room. She then went to the Living room where her younger brother was waiting and sat down. Lelouch asked Meiya, “What is it that you want to talk to Onee san?” Meiya took out a round white chip that looked like an eye and put down it on the table then she waved her metal hand above the chip. The chip’s center light up and from it, blue rays emerge forming a visual image of Japanese Terrorists. Meiya explained, “If you want to use the Terrorists, you need to know about them more. You need strategies to win this war. Right?” Lelouch turned serious and knew that his older sister would give him info about Terrorists. He listened carefully to what his sister explained, “This man is Ohgi Kaname, the leader of Terrorists in this city. He is not suited to be a leader. His skills of leading are just normal and if you compare him with Britannia, he is just like a child running around naked in front of the adults. The most useful person and the woman I want to warn you in this Resistance Group is Kallen Stadfeld, a half breed who distinguished herself as a weak ordinary noble Lady in your school. Does it ring a bell, ChuChu?” Lelouch looked at his older sister with amazement. “Yes. Onee san, I seem to remember her now. Right. The pieces are now finally connected.” Lelouch smiled and he supported his chin with both of his hands.

He asked the question that bothered him to Meiya. “But why did she fight for the Japanese so willingly? She can live her life peacefully even if she doesn’t do anything.” “There is a reason.” Lelouch raises his left eyebrow. Meiya smiled. “This boy is Naoto Kozuki, a former Leader of Resistance Force and he was KIA(killed in Action) by Britannia. Also, he is Kallen’s older brother.” Lelouch nodded his head in thoughts. Meiya gives him time to make his strategies and drinks her Green Tea. After a while, Lelouch spoke, “Then, I need to be careful when I am in front of her. Just in case that is.” Meiya shakes her head and said, “No need. I have already made preparation regarding her. You just have to focus on your plan. Oh. That’s right. There will be a promotion on TV tomorrow. I wish to see how you will handle it.” Meiya told Lelouch mysteriously. Lelouch titled his head in confusion. Meiya patted Lelouch’s head and smiled. “Remember, I am here with you and if you need any help, I will gladly do it for you.” Lelouch smiled and pouted. “Onee san, I am not a kid anymore and I can do it. I will make a peaceful world for Nunally. I don’t want to eat a thousand nails at all cost.” Lelouch joked. Meiya laughed and hugged Lelouch in her arms. “That won’t happen. Onee san will help ChuChu and Lily. I will destroy everything and everyone that is in your ways.” Meiya’s eyes glow red while she is saying this. Bloody Red and the Eyes of the Predator.

The next day, Lelouch is woken up by his older sister who rubs his head and said, “It’s time to wake up little sleepy head.” Lelouch yawned and stretched in his bed like a kid. He rolls over to his older sister’s side and nuzzles on her lap. “Good Morning, Onee san.” Meiya giggles and touches his forehead and hair. “Good Morning, ChuChu. I will go and wake Lily up. Come to the dining room after you finished.” She kissed Lelouch’s head and went out. In Nunally’s room, “Lily, it’s time to wake up.” Nunally smiled and said to Meiya, “I am already up, Onee sama. Good Morning.” Meiya goes to her little sister’s side and carries her princess style. “Good Morning, my Lily. Let me make my Lily fresh and cute.” Nunally giggles and hugs her sister tight because she is spinning her in her arms. After she finished dressing her up like a doll, Meiya carries Lily to the dining room and sits her down on her chair before going to the two maids in the kitchen. “Are everything set for my siblings?” Meiya asks her Knight 4, Tonis, and Sayoko who bows her head by paying respect to her. Tonis answered, “Yes, Master. Everything is set and prepared. I have checked any unnecessary things. I am positive. Sayoko helped me with preparing the dishes that you cooked, Master.” Meiya smiled and said, “I see. You had made a friend already. Thank you for helping.” Then, she exits the kitchen with dishes and saw her siblings laughing and talking.

“Breakfast is ready, My little cute dumplings.” Meiya puts the dishes down and sits with her siblings. “Onee san, you prepared many dishes again.” Lelouch complains again. Meiya smiles and rubs her siblings’ heads. “OK. OK. It’s been a while so I cooked too many dishes. ChuChu, look at you. You’ve grown up into a fine handsome young man. You too. My little Lily has grown up into a fine beautiful Lady. It was like yesterday when you two clung onto me like little monkeys.” Meiya teased her little siblings into two little tomatoes. “Onee san/sama.” Both of them yelled at the same time. Then, Meiya changes her tone. “But you two are still children in my eyes and no relationship until 18. Am I make myself clear? Hmmm?” Her siblings sweatdrop at that. Their older sister has changed into MaMa mode and it’s still scary even if they are now adults. Tonis and Sayoko are giggling none stop in the background. “OK. OK. Let us stop joking. After eating, I will escort Lily first then you, ChuChu. And I will receive no rejection.” Both of her siblings sigh. They can’t stop their sister from not being overprotective.

After escorting Nunally, Meiya and Lelouch were on the way to Lelouch’s classroom. “Onee san, I want to show you my Geass power although I still don’t know how to use it properly.” Meiya nods. Lelouch walked up to his teacher who was crossing the little bridge over the small stream. When his teacher saw him, he said, “Lelouch, the class will be starting soon.” “Yes. Sir.” Then, he used his Geass on his teacher. “Sir, could you tell me what questions will be on our essay exam?” His teacher’s iris turned red and he said, “They will cover, The Humiliation of Edinburgh, The transfer of the capital to the New World, and the North-South War.” ‘So, I haven’t lost this power after all.’ Lelouch thought. He canceled his Geass and used it once more. “Teacher, could you please tell me what questions will be on our essay exam?” This time it didn’t work and his teacher said, “Quick joking around and study seriously. You can handle them if you make the effort. “Haiii.” ‘As I suspected. It can only be worked once on the same person.’ Then, he felt chills run down his spine and slowly turned around. His older sister who knew when she hid behind the tree is walking towards him with a smile on her face. ‘Oh No.’ “Ara Ara. My little brother is a bad boy. How should I punish him? Hmmm?” There is dead radiation emitted from Meiya.

“It was a test. A TEST. You know that I am smarter than any other students in this school.” Lelouch defends himself. “You are right. You are right. I am just joking.” Meiya pats Lelouch’s head. “You show me your Geass so I will show mine.” After she said that, she looked at the stream near them. The water from the stream dances around and moves towards Meiya’s hand. Then it turned into little Lelouch and waved at them. Lelouch was very shocked at the realization that his older sister also has a Geass. Meiya smiles and tells him about her Geass. “My Geass can command anything that is related to liquid and it is fully matured now.” Both of her red eyes have a bird symbol in them. She then deactivated her Geass. “But ChuChu if you want to master your Geass, you have to be strong will. If you have a weak will, Geass will consume you alive. It is true that powerful but do not let yourself be controlled by it. OK?” Lelouch nods at his older sister and questions. “How do you know so much about Geass? You are still keeping secrets from me. Aren’t you?” Meiya smiles at her little brother and pats his head. “Yes. Many. But when the time comes, I will tell you everything. Although I do not step onto this land, I still have my spies around Britannia. You can do whatever you like ChuChu. As long as I am alive, no harm shall fall to you and Lily. I can grantee this. I am not that weak little girl before who is shaken easily by my emotions. I am strong enough to protect my family and my people.”

Lelouch nods his head and said seriously. “I trust Onee san more than everyone and that will never change. I am also not a weak little boy from before. I can’t change the world without dirtying my hands. I know it and I will still keep going forward. In order to change everything, I am willing to carry the burden of guilt. So, Onee san doesn’t have to worry about trivial things. OK?” Lelouch smiles at his older sister. Meiya looks at him with a proud expression and hugs her younger brother. “I don’t scare of anything. Even death is amusing in my eyes. The only thing that scares me is to lose both you and Lily. I had lived in Hell and I am used to it. To protect what is precious to me, I will use all of my resources including my life.” Lelouch nuzzles into his older sister’s warm arm. ‘Yes. This is what he longed for. To fight for his and Nunally’s freedom. He doesn’t want to live like a dead person among living people like a zombie. Always with the feeling that he is gradually dying. He refuses to live like this anymore. He has now Power and his older sister. He has lost everything and he has gained more valuable things again. This is life and he will never give up on it. The power he has will cause him no harm cause he is going to control it with the will for Nunally and Onee san.’ Lelouch set decisions with his heart.

On the top of the School Building, “So, how is life at your dear old school?” Ohgi asks on phone. “Stifling. I had history class yesterday. Look, maybe I should head back to you.” Kallen speaks with frustration. “The army is on high alert right now. Stay there and let things cool down.” Ohgi instructed. “But what about the voice on the radio?” Kallen stubbornly said. “You can’t go looking for a voice. Besides Naoto would be happy that you’re a student again. Forget what happened in Shinjuku for now. I will contact you again later.” Ohgi disconnects the call. Kallen closes her phone and thought. ‘Shinjuku… I understand…. But..’ Kallen sigh and scratch her head with frustration. “Ahhhh. I don’t know anymore.” In the classroom, “First of all, there was the education of aristocracy. By concentrating on the ruling class with intensive education and training, a superior breed of the ruler is produced. The second point was speed…………” Lelouch thought. ‘Onee san is so cool. She was skipping grades when she was young to accompany me and Nunally. The only thing she said about aristocracy is that it was boring. When she was only six years old, she has already read and memorized everything in the Imperial Library. With that superior memory and strength, the throne is already in her hand. But she never cares about it at all. She only cares about her family and that is what broke her in the end. I will not let her carry all the burden anymore. That smile of hers. I will protect it with everything I have.’

After he speak about the aristocracy by hard, his teacher said, “All right. That will do.” Lelouch sit down and look at Kallen who was seem to be thinking something. ‘This woman can drive Glasgow without one arm and can still attack enemies with ease. She will be the most useful chess piece on my chessboard.’ After the class is over, Shirley approach Lelouch and asked. “Say, LuLu. We are about to head over to….” “Sorry. Maybe next time.” Lelouch cut her off and walk to Kallen’s desk. The girls were speaking to her in a circle. Lelouch walk in front of Kallen’s desk and asked, “Could you come with me please? I’d like to talk to you.” The girls who heard this were surprised and look at Kallen. “Y-Yes. Sure.” Kallen pretends to be shy and goes with Lelouch. At the clubhouse used by the student council, “I never knew any place like this in the school.” Kallen speaks to Lelouch. “It’s the clubhouse used by the student council. It was built large enough to hold a formal dance.” Lelouch explained. At that time, Shirley yelled happily. “There it is! Found it! Found it! Look, it’s this. Right?” “Ah! That’s it! The experiment data.” Nina happily said and took the data chirp. “Oh, man. My back hurt now.” Rivalz said while rubbing his back. “Did you find it?” Milly asks and walks in with a serving cart. “I’m through with my end, so why don’t we start?” “Wow. Amazing!” Rivalz cheers. “Way to go! Milly.” Shirley too. Milly laughs proudly at that. “Please, you can compliment me more!” Milly finishes setting down the dishes.

“Um… What is all this?” Lelouch asks surprised. “Didn’t you bring her here because you knew? It’s because we are letting Kallen into the student council. My grandpa asked us to.” Milly explained. “The school principal did?” Lelouch asks. “Yeah. He says it will be hard for her to participate in regular class activities because of her health problem.” Milly sets the dishes down one by one while explaining. “Oh! I’m Milly, the council president. How do you do?” Milly introduced herself. “Oh uh. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” Kallen greeted her. Then, everyone crowded around her and introduce themselves. “I’m Rivalz, the secretary. If anything you don’t understand, just ask me.” “I’m Shirley, and I’m also in the swim club. How do you do?” “Um… I’m Nina.” “Um, Uh, a pleasure.” At that time, Nunally and Meiya come into the room with deserts. “I will put these on the table.” Meiya tells Lily while putting the plates down. “Nunally. You too? Also Onee san?” Lelouch speaks to his sisters. “This is Lelouch’s younger sister, Nunally, and older sister, Meiya.” Milly introduce. “It’s a pleasure to meet you. Kallen.” Meiya greets her politely. “I am in the middle school group so I’m not in the student council.” Nunally explained herself. “It’s OK. You’re an associate member, Right?” Rivalz said. “Right. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Kallen.” Nunally replied. Kallen smiles kindly to Nunally. “It’s a pleasure for me too.” Meiya giggles and stand beside Lelouch. “I’m just passing by to accompany Nunally before work. I own a restaurant in the city so please do stop by to have a taste.” Meiya shakes hands with Kallen. “Um… OK. Thank you.” Kallen nods. “Hmmm.” Meiya look at Kallen’s hand in thought. “What’s the matter?” Kallen asked. “Nothing.” Meiya shakes her head and breaks the handshakes.

“OK, then! Shall we drink a toast?” Rivalz takes out a Champagne bottle. “Champagne!” Shirley yelled with surprise. “Student Council members can’t drink.” Nina warned. “Oh, loosen up. You guys.” Rivalz tried to open the cap of the bottle. “We are not allowed to drink that.” Shirley tried to snatch the bottle from Rivalz. “What’s happening?” Nunally asks by tilting her head. “You have this. Nunally.” Milly gives Nunally a glass of orange juice. But not like in the anime, Rivalz didn’t give Lelouch the bottle. While Shirley and Rivalz are struggling to get the bottle from each other, the cap of the bottle flew off to Nunally. “It’s dangerous!” Lelouch shouted. With lightning speed, Meiya stands before her younger sister and, hits the flying cap with the back of her hand, but she doesn’t dodge incoming champagne liquid because of Nunally, soaking her purple white dress. Everyone gasped and stand still while looking at Meiya who shut her eyes. She opened her eyes after a while and said to Nunally, “Are you OK, Nunally? Did you get hurt?” Nunally shakes her head while looking puzzles. Meiya smiles and pats Nunally’s head. “It’s good that you are fine. Nunally.” She then faced the crowd of young children and scolded softly. “Thank to you two. I have to change my dress. You little troublesome kids, come here.” Shirley and Rivalz walked forwards hesitatingly. Meiya pulled their ears and scolded. “It’s OK to have fun but you almost hurt Nunally. Come now. Apologize to her.” The others in the room giggle at the sight. “It’s hurt. It’s hurt.” Shirley and Rivalz screamed together and they said, “We are sorry. Nunally.” They speak at the same time. Nunally giggles and said. “It’s alright. I’m fine.” Nunally said.

“Onee san. Are you OK? You should take a shower. You are soak all over.” Lelouch runs towards his older sister. “I think so too.” Meiya agreed with Lelouch and faced Milly. “Could I borrow the shower for a while please?” “Sure thing. Lelouch, show her where the shower is. Me and Shirley will take care of her clothes. You and Kallen help her shower. Nunally and Rivalz will wait here for dishes.” Milly instructed. “It’s alright. Lelouch is enough for me to help out. I don’t want to trouble you all. This party is also for Kallen so you don’t want to waste the delicious dishes that Milly prepared. Right?” Everyone in the room nods their head. “Alright. Don’t mind me. Nunally, I will be going now. Take care of yourself, OK?” Meiya pats Nunally’s head. “Don’t worry too much, Onee sama. I’m OK. When will you come back?” Nunally smiles. “I will be back at 6 so I can spend my time with Nunally and Lelouch. If you need anything, you can call me on the phone I gave you. I’ll be going now.” Meiya kiss Nunally’s head and went to the shower with Lelouch. “Alright. Shall we start our celebration?” Milly yelled. “Alright.” Everyone in the room yelled except for Kallen.

‘An older sibling’s love. Huh? Nii chan, I miss you.’ Kallen thought. In the shower, Meiya is showering in the bathtub while Lelouch is waiting for her in front of the shower with new clothes. “Onee san.” Lelouch calls Meiya. “Hmmm.” Meiya replied. “Thank goodness. You are fast enough to get in front of Nunally. Nunally could have been hurt.” “Yes. Kids these days. Sigh. Oh right. It’s almost time.” Meiya takes clothes from Lelouch and after a while, gets out from the shower. “What time?” Lelouch asks. “Look at the new, ChuChu. You will know what I am talking about. I will be going to work now. If you are tired, you can stop by. OK?” Lelouch nods his head and waves his hand. After Lelouch part his way with Meiya, he is in thought because of what his sister said while walking back to the club. ‘Onee san is still as mysterious as ever and if something is going to happen, she always has strategies that exceed mine easily. I need to try harder.’ Lelouch thought while entering the celebration room. “Onii sama, it’s awful!” Nunally yelled with panic in her voice. “What is it?” Lelouch asks confused. “Prince Clovis has died.” Milly informed hurriedly. “They say he was killed.” Rivalz continued. Lelouch gasp and narrow his eyes at the Television. ‘Is this what Onee san is talking about?’ He thought.

On the news, Jeremiah speaks with the voice of the righteous. “Prince Clovis has passed away. While fighting for peace and justice against the Elevens, he died a martyr! We all must push down our sorrow and carry on his will!” After that nonsense, the News Lady changes the screen and said, “We’ve just received new information. The man suspected of the murderer has been captured. According to the report, the man arrested is an honorary Britannian.” “Can it be?” Lelouch whispered. His suspect was confirmed the next second. The scene changes to the captured Suzaku who Lelouch thought dead was dragged by the two military soldiers. He seems to be trying to explain but one of the soldiers punches him in the face to shut him down. “Private Suzaku Kururugi. The suspect is a former Eleven, Honorary Eleven Suzaku Kururugi.” Lelouch watches his childhood friend shockingly. ‘Is this what Onee san trying to tell? No, it couldn’t be the reason. The real reason…’ Lelouch thinks of the real reason. “ChuChu, I will help you step by step to get through your difficulties. One of the lessons is there are two sides on the same coin. If you think something is right, for someone that something is wrong. In that case, leadership is the most useful weapon. Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want to be done because that someone wants to do it. Also, there are no friends on the battlefield only comrades. Remember that, ChuChu.” Lelouch realizes what his older sister refers to. ‘I see. Suzaku has already chosen which side to fight. If I choose to help Terrorists, one day I will have to face Suzaku. Even so, I wish to try and recruit him.’

“Do you know anything about this weapon, Suzaku Kururugi?” Jeremiah asks. There are Four Guards around the interrogation room and in the middle is Suzaku Kururugi who wore prisoner outfits with restrains. “It was the one used to assassinate Prince Clovis. The Barrel striations confirm this. I also took the liberty of investigating. You’re the son of Japan’s last prime minister, aren’t you? You had plenty of motive!” Jeremiah mocks. Suzaku replied with firm determination. “You’ve made some sort of mistake! I’ve never seen that gun in my life!” The guard beside Suzaku kicked the chair with force making him fall on the ground hard. Jeremiah holds the evidence in his hand and speaks, “Your fingerprints showed up on it. You’re also suspected of murdering members of the royal guard. Admit it. Do it now and you’ll be judged as an honorary Britannian instead of as an Eleven.” Suzaku keeps his firm determination and says, “I didn’t do it.” One of the guards kicks Suzaku in the face and makes him unconscious. Back at the residence of Ashford Academy, “That was Suzaku they mentioned before on the news, wasn’t it?” Nunally asks while she is carried onto the bed by her older sister.

“Yeah. It looks like Suzaku is still alive.” Lelouch answers while making the bed for Nunally. Meiya puts Nunally down on the bed and covers her with the blanket. “Yeah. We have been apart since the war ended. Even we…. Onee sama?” Nunally asks her older sister who looks at Lelouch with a sad look. “Hmmm?” Meiya responds. “That news wasn’t true, was it?” Nunally asks. “It wasn’t. KuKu would never do anything like that. It’s some kind of mistake.” Meiya answers her question while holding her hands. “Yes. It must be.” Nunally sleepily talks. “Right. So… Good night. Nunally/Lily.” Both Meiya and Lelouch told their good night. Then, they exit Nunally’s room and walk towards the living room. They sit down while having natural tea. “Jeremiah is the one who makes this. He is such a cunning man.” Meiya says this with despise in her tone. “Onee san, I still want to try it. If I can convince him, he would join us. There is no way for him to survive if Jeremiah wanted to kill him.” Lelouch tells his decision. “Do as you wish. ChuChu. Onee san will support you in any way possible. The plan to meet with Terrorists is a success. Right?” “Yes. Onee san. Tomorrow, I will meet them as we planned.” “Good. Here, this is for you.” Meiya gives a leather box to Lelouch from Tonis. “What is this?” Lelouch opens the box and sees a set of Zero Outfit. “Onee san?” “Hehehe. What? I want to make my little brother’s clothes. I will explain about this outfit's capabilities.” Lelouch sighs and nods his head.

In the Camelot research organization, “We’ve lost our most essential part.” Lloyd Asplund speaks to his assistant, Cecile Croomy. “Can’t we make it without him?” Cecile said. “I wish. We can’t get a replacement pilot for love or money, and even if we could, they wouldn’t get a reading as he did. Didn’t I tell you? He had an operation efficiency of 94%! How do we replace that?” Lloyd says much to his displeasure. “Then, you should tell them that so they’ll release Suzaku!” Cecile says worriedly about Suzaku. “He is an honorary Britannian, Right? Since Gen. Bartley’s disgrace, the purebloods have been in control of the military. According to them, the guilty party can’t be from the Britannian military. But if the criminal is an Eleven, they’ll accept Margrave Jeremiah’s demands and shut down the entire system of granting Elevens the status of honorary Britannian.” Lloyd explains to his assistant. “And what about Suzaku?” Cecile asks. “I doubt there’s any way he’ll be found innocent.” Lloyd sighs.

At the Tokyo Tower, “The overwhelming victory of Britannia made the unenlightened former government of Japan well aware of their true rank in the world. Since then, the Empire and Eleven have joined hands and have begun to walk the road towards revival.” The history of captured Japan is told over and over again by the speaker. In front of the battlefield pictures, Kallen is staring at the glass in thought, “Tokyo Tower, 16:00 hours. Why here, of all places?” Ohgi and his group are talking and taking a walk not too far from Kallen. “It was Suzaku Kururugi who contacted us, Right?”Kento Sukiyama asks. “Don’t jump to the conclusion.” Ohgi says. “But he might have been arrested after he called Kallen.” Yoshida suggests his opinion. “Then this place is too dangerous for us to stay.” Kento reply. At that time, the speaker calls Kallen to the service counter. “Miss Kallen Stadfeld of Ashford Academy, a lost item has been turned in for you. Please come to the service counter on the observation deck floor. I repeat the following visitor….” At the service counter, “You’re sure this is yours? It’s yours, isn’t it?” The worker said. “Y-Yes. Thank you so much.” Kallen reply.

“It’s so true! Things turned out so well, thank to Prince Clovis. Thanks to Britannia, we’ve been able to rebuild so quickly.” Ohgi says while viewing the city with the telescope. Bzzzbzzzbzz. The phone in Kallen’s hand rings. She looks at the caller id and is shocked. “Zero? Yes. Hello.” “Ride the outer tracks of loop line #5. Bring your friends.” Lelouch commands them. In train #5, “Attention all the passengers. If you see a suspicious item aboard this train, please report it at once via the nearest intercom.” Kallen and her friends are on the train waiting for the instruction of Lelouch. “Hello?” “Face forward and look to your right. What do you see?” “The Britannians’ city, a stolen city, built on our sacrifices.” “Now, left.” “I see our city. The city made by Britannia squeezing us dry.” “Good answer. All right, come to the forward of the car.” Kallen and Lelouch exchange words. Kallen and her friends make their way to the front of the train where they come in contact with an unknown figure.

The figure is standing quietly with his back without facing them. “Was it you?” Kallen asks. “This isn’t a trap, is it?” Yoshida wonders. “Tell us! Was it you in Shinjuku? Was the cease-fire order your doing, too?” Kallen tried asking again but the figure stay silent. “Hey! Say something!” Yoshida yelled at the figure. The figure faces them when the train enters the tunnel making the whole train falls in dark. The figure wore a tight dark purple suit with golden stripes, long wrapped sleeves, and a frilled white cravat. The outfit combines Victorian fashion with that of a sleek bodysuit and the arms as well as legs were covered with black and gold armor made of special metal for the owner to feel both comfortable and protective. They were worn over by a black and gold cloak with crimson spandex lining the inside and an enormous black cape circling the head. Its immediately recognizable feature is a spiky black and indigo mask with a long variation of the Geass Sigil stretched over its bottom, completely hiding the wearer's face. To sum it all up, the person who sees this figure first thought will be mysterious and powerful. (Author: Hey. Isn’t this armor from Nightmare of Nunally? Celesta: * smack her in the head * No. it isn’t. My creation is far greater than that and beautiful. It is the complete opposite, Idiot. Author: * rub her head with tears * I am sorry.)

Kallen and her friends are all shocked by the figure’s appearance. Before they could snap out of their mind, the figure finally speak. “Well? What were your impressions of this tour of the settlement?” “Tour?” Ohgi asks. “Hey, it couldn’t have been this joker!” Kento said to his friends. “I wanted you to have a true appreciation of them; of the settlement and the ghetto!” The figure said while spreading his hands indicating both directions. “Yes. There is a difference between us and the Britannians! A desperate difference. That’s why we fight as the resistance!” Ohgi steps forward and said. “You are wrong.” The figure denies Ohgi’s words. “Terrorism will not defeat Britannia!” “Defeat?” Ohgi asks. “Terrorism is merely a childish nuisance.” The figure insults the Terrorists in front of him. “What was that?!” Kento said angrily. “Are you saying we are just kids?!” Yoshida asks unbelievably. “Don’t mistake your enemy. It isn’t the Britannian people, but Britannia itself! What you need to fight is a war without involving the civilians! Make up your minds! Take the path of righteousness!” The figure proclaims. Kallen angrily yelled back, “Don’t be absurd! It’s easy to say whatever you want! As if we could trust someone who won’t even show us his face!” “She is right!” Yoshida joins in. “Take off the mask!” Kento yelled. “Yeah. Will you show us your face or not?” Ohgi agrees. “Very well. I’ll show you. However, what I’ll show you won’t be my face, but rather my power! If I show you that the impossible is possible, you’ll trust me a little, won’t you?” The figure asks. He makes an agreement with Ohgi’s group.

At the base of the Japan Liberation Front, the members were discussing whether they should save Suzaku or not. Lieutenant Colonel Kyoshiro Tohdo is keeping quiet, not taking part in the discussion. “He killed the Prince of the Britannia.” One of the members said. “Suzaku Kururugi should be treated as a hero.” “Yeah. But he’s an honorary Britannian!” Another member pointed out. “Isn’t he the son of the late Prime Minister Kururugi?” Another member said. “The man who gave up Japan! The people don’t know that about him!” Another member reminded his comrades. “The Shinjuku incident was the work of Kouzuki’s group, wasn’t it?”The leader General Katase asks. “Yes, General. They are currently led by a man named Ohgi.” Lieutenant Colonel Kusakabe said. Katase hummed and asked, “Has Kururugi’s family said anything?” “No, sir. They broke contact with him after he joined the military.” Kusakabe informed. “Your thoughts? Tohdo.” Katase asked for an option. “We have no duty to join him in a public execution.” Tohdo answered. “Such cowardice! Are you really Tohdo, the miracle worker?” Kusakabe said mockingly. “You shouldn’t confuse a miracle with foolishness.” Tohdo easily responded.

At the Britannia Cellblock, Suzaku that everyone talking is refrained by straps in the glass prison. “Congratulation. Those two you asked me about weren’t on the casualty list.” Lloyd informed Suzaku of what he found. “I see.” Suzaku said with a relieved expression. “But you’re not having much luck on your end. You may be getting a trial, but nobody is on your side.” Lloyd said while sitting in front of the glass prison. “But trials are where the truth is made clear!” Suzaku said with firm belief. “I think there will be more obscuring going on there. There is a precious lack of truth….” Lloyd said the truth with a smile of his. “If you tell me that’s just how the world works, then I don’t regret leaving it.” Suzaku said his belief with a firm tone. After Lloyd left and said goodbye to Suzaku, the figure of a beautiful lady appears before him. Suzaku is shocked by Meiya who appears out of thin air.
