A Few days later.
After the events inthe Chinese Federation, Lelouch and Seth returned to Ashford Academy. Lelouch had to come up with a strategy to counter the Knights of Rounds they kept encountering.
As Lelouch, Rolo, and Seth walked inside the student council building they encounter two new students they knew far too well. Lelouch was about to talk to Shirley, when he heard the sound of a digital camera taking an image. He turned to source of the sound and was shocked at what he saw.
"Good morning, Lelouch." Anya Alstreim said to the former Prince.
"The knight of six." Rolo said in shock that a member of the rounds was here.
"Hey there, we've been waiting for you." Gino Weinberg the Knight of Three said as he came out of a nearby classroom.
"You're the Vice-president Lamperouge, right? We've been awaiting the honor of..."
"Be more casual." Rivalz said to the knight of three.
"We've enrolled in this school. And we insist on our social status being ignored while we're in school." Gino stated.
"They said they wanted the experience of being ordinary students." Milly stated as she came out of the same room they were all in.
"Right now we're teaching them to speak." Rivalz said.
"I'm looking forwards to this senpai." Gino stated as he moved closer to Lelouch.
Later On.
Inside of the O.S.I headquarters on the school, Lelouch learned that Sayako did not do a good job as being his impersonator. She had set up Lelouch with a lot of date and she even kissed Shirley. This threw a serious wrench in Lelouch plans. Seth couldn't help but laugh at the situation his ally was in.
It was late at night and Lelouch was behind on the schedule. His next date was with Shirley. Lelouch was sneaking through the bushes when he was found by Anya. Lelouch feared that Sayako had set up a date with the knight of six, but that wasn't the case. She just wanted to ask if the child in her picture was Lelouch the person in the photo she had.
Lelouch was shocked to see a photo of him as a young child while he was still a prince. He lied to Anya stating that he was a commoner. Thanks to being stopped by Anya, Gino caught up with Lelouch and asked if he could go to one of his gambling chess matches that Rivalz told him about. Now thanks to the knight of Three loud voice Shirley knew where Lelouch was. As she was making a big scene, the noise attracted a lot of people, mostly girls that were on or had dates with the former Prince. Luckily for Lelouch someone decided to take advantage of the crowd of people.
"LOOK!" A female voice shouted as several spotlights pointed to the balcony of the student council building. The crowd of people turned and saw Milly the student body president. The group noticed that the president was wearing a funny hat. It was shaped like a butt, but it was supposed to be a heart.
"I've decided on my graduation event! I'm calling it Cupid day!" Milly announced.
"Isn't it a bit early for graduation?" Gino asked as he knew that a graduation event would take place generally towards the end of the school year.
"I'm repeating a year you see. I can graduate as soon as I get enough credits." Milly explained to the confused knight.
"Oh, so that's how the system works here."
"Prez, are you really graduating? You could always do it with the rest of us-"
"Say Milly-"
"That's president Milly!" Rivalz stated to the knight who spoke so informally.
"So what's this Cupid day of yours?" Gino said ignoring Rivalz.
"Hehehe, you wanna know? On the appointed day, I will have all students wear these hats. The boys get blue, while the girls get pink. Then if you steal your target's hat and put it on…" Milly took off her pink hat and placed a blue one on her head.
"And then what?" Anya stated as she was intrigued by this event.
"Then, by student council president order, those two must be boyfriend and girlfriend!"
"EH?!" The ground said in shock.
On Cupid Day.
"My graduation event, Cupid Day, is about to begin. Oh and make sure you're at least two meters away from your target."
Lelouch knew this situation could be very bad if someone actually got ahold of his hat and became his girlfriend, so he came up with a plan to have Villetta take his hat. He would switch with Sayako while Seth provided support from the sidelines and towards the end of the event, he would switch back and heads towards Villetta.
"If you grab your target's hat and put it on, then you have to be boyfriend and girlfriend! I won't ask how you get the hat. You're allowed to use teams or tools, as well." Milly stated as she was finishing her speech.
"Then before we start, I'll say one thing. Any club that brings me the hat of Lelouch Lamperouge in class 3-D gets their budget increased ten times!" Milly announced as the event started throwing a major wrench in Lelouch's plan. As the event started a swarm of girls surrounded Lelouch and charged for his hat, but suddenly everyone was suddenly frozen in the school was frozen in place. Rolo appeared from the lockers behind Lelouch and pulled the former Prince into the locker with him. Once Lelouch was in the locker, Rolo undid his Geass and unfroze everyone. The girls that were after Lelouch were shocked that he was not there.
Meanwhile with Seth.
Seth was in a different area when the event started. While he was at Ashford Academy, he gain quite a bit of fan girls. [B.L.A.Z.E.] informed Seth that he was frozen and he began to move.
The black and white haired high schooler moved away from the girls. He quickly found a place that no one was near him and turned invisible.
To be honest, Seth thought this would be a situation Tatenashi would have done had there been an equal number of boys at I.S Academy.
Once Lelouch and Sayako switched, the plan was in full swing. Even with the added difficult, the plan was going smoothly. Seth began to follow Sayako as she ran around the school acting almost as if she had genetic augmentation done on her.
After running around and causing a frenzy, it was time for Lelouch to switch back. Seth was hiding behind a nearby bookshelf with Sayako when they noticed the real Lelouch talking to Shirley. Seth and Sayako noticed the Mordred outside the library.
"Lelouch!" Seth said as he rushed into action. Lelouch noticed the Knightmare and was about to push Shirley away, but both of them were pushed by Seth as the Mordred's arm came through the window. Seth tried to move back, but he lost his footing on a book that was on the floor and was captured by the Mordred. While in the middle of the confusion Sayako entered the hidden elevator Lelouch just came from.
While with Lelouch.
Seth had pushed both Shirley and Lelouch down a flight of stairs, but luckily both were uninjured. This actually gave the two a moment to reconnect after all that was going on. After several seconds of silence, Shirley spoke.
"Why did you kiss me?" Shirley question easily caught Lelouch off guard.
"Well, because, I like you." Shirley knew Lelouch well enough to to tell if he was speaking the truth and he wasn't.
"You're lying. It was serious."
"You're wrong!" Lelouch immediately responded surprising the orange hair girl.
"I mean, I just…why did I?" Lelouch wondered to himself even though this was all caused my Sayako. Shirley laughed at the way Lelouch was acting all troubled.
"So you wanna do more than just kiss?"
"Huh?" Lelouch said as he wasn't sure if he was hearing correctly.
"I don't mind. I even like fake kisses."
"Don't say that." Lelouch said.
"Your back lulu." Shirley stated shocking Lelouch.
"You haven't been yourself lately. It's okay. I forgive you. In return, close your eyes for me." Lelouch hesitate for a second, but Shirley pressured him and he closed his eyes. Lelouch waited and waited, but Shirley finally placed her hand and his face and then pinched his cheeks.
"You totally thought I was going to kiss you, huh?" Shirley said in a teasing tone.
"I'm…Well, you know… It was a question of possibility."
"Lulu, you dirty boy."
"What, no it just!" Shirley moved towards Lelouch and swapped their hats.
"Even so, I want to try and make you fall in love with me for real, some day." Shirley stated as she placed Lelouch's blue hat on her head.
Several minutes later.
With the event now officially over Lelouch and Shirley headed outside where they soon found president Milly and a large group of student nearby her. Lelouch look around and was shocked to see his second in command unconscious while laying on top of the Knight of Six lap. He noticed that Seth now had a pink hat and Anya had a blue hat.
"Huh?" Lelouch said as he approached the knight of six who was holding his second in command. Anya noticed the puzzle expression on Lelouch's face.
"While attempting to capture you Lelouch, Seth pushed you out of the way and was subsequently captured instead. As per the rules of Cupid Day I am now Seth's girlfriend." Anya said as she pointed to the hat on her head.
"But to complete the event you have to willing place the hat on your head. No one was forcing you." Milly stated.
"Ah? I did not catch that. Regardless, I have already place his blue hat on my head, there for, by the order of the student council president, we are now dating." It was at this moment when Seth's eyes began to open.
"Oh man, what happened?" Seth said as look at his surroundings and noticed the blue hat on Anya's head.
"No." Seth said softly as he removed his hat only to see that it was pink.
"Wonderful." Seth said sarcastically.
A Few Days Later with Shirley.
After Cupid Day, something happened to Shirley. Her memories that were sealed away by Lelouch's Geass return. She remembered that Lelouch was actually Zero and that he caused her father's death. She also remember Kallen, Nunnally and everything else. With this information she became conflicted. She decided to confront Suzaku about Lelouch. She called Suzaku and asked to meet the knight of Seven at Ikebukuro station.
The Next Day. Ikebukuro Station.
Lelouch and Seth were at Ikebukuro station inspecting the Gefjun Disturbers they had installed on the trains of Tokyo. They were to be used in an upcoming operation. With everything checking out the two began to leave the station. That was when Seth and Lelouch encounter Suzaku, Shirley, and Anya. Suzaku asked Anya to accompany him while he talked to Shirley in the event became a womanly matter, but given how Anya was he wasn't so sure that she would be of much help.
"Lelouch?!" Shirley was clearly surprise from the tone she spoke in. Red flags instantly popped up in Seth's head. He kept a close eye the orange hair girl as the group moved to the roof. While they were walking, Seth attempt to get the Knight of Six to get the notion of them being in a relationship out of her mind. But logic was not working on this girl. Actually if he were to keep this false relationship with the knight of six it would help deter the fan girls at the academy. Seth was brought out of his thoughts when Shirley moved towards the edge of the roof the threatened to jump.
"Stay away from me!" Shirley yelled as she was at the edge of the roof.
"Shirley." Lelouch said trying to get the girl's attention.
"Liars! You're all a bunch of fakes." Shirley stated as she was conflict internally about the whole situation around her. She knew for a fact that Lelouch was Zero and she now believed that Suzaku was working with him. They were both childhood friends and it made perfect sense to her.
"I won't-" Shirley fell off the edge as she moved her foot back. Lelouch rushed after her and grabbed her hand. Lelouch was going to fall as well if it wasn't for Seth with grabbed the former Prince by the ankles. Shirley blanked for a few seconds before before she realized what was going on. She look up and saw Lelouch hold my her hand.
"No! Let me go! Let me go!" Shirley said as she began to flail around making Lelouch's grip on her weak.
"No! I won't let you go! I don't want to lose you. I don't want to lose anyone else! Not one more person…Shirley!" Shirley was surprised by the face Lelouch had on his face. It was clear to her that his words were sincere. She placed her other hand on Lelouch.
"Seth!" Lelouch said giving Seth the go ahead to pull them up. The two were brought to safety. Thing seem good again, but Seth suddenly received a call from Rolo. He learned that a Britannia by the name of Jeremiah Gottwald, a man who detested the name orange that was placed on lying thanks to Zero, was coming after Lelouch after he attacked the school.
"Understood." Seth said as he ended the call with Rolo.
"Lelouch, we need to go." Seth said instantly raising red several flags in the knight of seven mind.
"That call didn't sound like it was from a friend."
"Hey Suzaku, doesn't my problem come first." Shirley stated, allowing the two Black Knights members to leave the roof.
Several minutes later.
Lelouch was informed on their situation. Lord Jeremiah Gottwald became a cyborg and was sent by the order to kill Lelouch. To top it all off, he was equipped with a Geass canceler which is pretty self explanatory. Lelouch quickly made a plan and order Seth to make sure that he secure as many people out of the mall while he would deal with Jeremiah. Seth was a little surprise that Lelouch didn't want him to just force crush him, but that was when Lelouch told him he had something planned.
As Seth worked to get as many people as he could put of the mall and prevent anyone from entering, Lelouch used himself as bait and lead Jeremiah to the train tracks.
"A mechanical body, a Geass canceler. Your vengefulness is top class, my dear orange." Lelouch stated as he stopped running.
"This isn't vengeance. It's loyalty." Jeremiah stated as he moved towards Lelouch.
"I hate hearing talk like that. What values does that emperor have to earn such loyalty?!" Lelouch stated as he activated the switch in his hand the trains activated their Gefjun disruptors. Jeremiah's body was suddenly unable to move.
"What…have…you.…"
"From your performance, I figured you must use sakuradite."
"Gefjun Disturbers!" Jeremiah stated as he now knew why his body could no longer move.
"Well, well, you've done your homework. Then you must know that when this sakuradite disruption system is complete, we can paralyze every city function within the train's loop line. In other words bring Tokyo to a halt. Thank you. You've made an excellent test case."
Meanwhile with Shirley.
Shirley had rushed back into the building after being escorted by the two Knights. She was trying to make her way back to Lelouch to join him. She didn't care that he was Zero or the fact that he killed her father. She wanted to be by his side no matter what and be there for him. As she ran through the mall, she encountered Rolo, who was there to pick up Lelouch and Seth in an air transport he brought. He notice that Shirley had a gun and instantly grew defensive for his older brother.
"Rolo, do you love Lelouch?"
Meanwhile with Seth.
The Sith Lord felt a strong disturbance in the force. He foresaw a vision in his mind and saw a gravestone that read Shirley Fenette and many people from school attending a funeral. Seth used the forced to locate Shirley and sensed that she was nearby along with Rolo.
Back to Lelouch.
"Now then, will you tell me? Where is the order located? Where is V.V?" Lelouch said as he began his interrogation, however Jeremiah had other plans.
"You're the one…who will talk here!" Jeremiah said as he began to move his body, which should be impossible.
"What?!" Lelouch stated in shock that the disabled cyborg was moving closer to him.
"I have…my reason…to hold onto my loyalty! I must know the truth for certain!" Moving around like this was causing Jeremiah's body massive internal damage and blood began to leak from his body.
"Impossible! He shouldn't be able to move!"
"Lelouch…Why did you adopt the role of Zero? Why turn against your homeland of Britannia? And become an enemy of your own father?!" Lelouch decided to reveal the truth to Jeremiah.
"Because I am Lelouch vi Britannia! My father, the Britannian Emperor, let my mother die! And in doing so, stole Nunnally's sight, her legs! He stole our futures from us!" This information was shocking to Jeremiah as he too was connected with the death of Lelouch mother.
"I know. Because I was there too."
"With my mother?!"
"It was my first assignment. Guarding Lady Marianne, whom I loved and respected! But I couldn't protect her! I couldn't carry through the loyalty I had for her!" Jeremiah said as he fell on his knees.
"And So you founded the purebloods?"
"Master Lelouch…You became Zero for Lady Marianne's sake, didn't you?" Lelouch was able to but the pieces together.
"You didn't come here to kill me, did you?"
"The one I follow is not V.V. It's lady Marianne. Now I can die without any regrets…"
"Lord Jeremiah!" Lelouch shouted as he deactivated the Gefjun disruptors and ran towards Jeremiah's side.
"My prince!" Jeremiah said as his cybernetics came back on.
"Jeremiah Gottwald, your loyalty is still needed. Isn't that right?"
"Yes, your majesty!"
Meanwhile with Shirley.
Shirley told Rolo that she wanted to join Lelouch and help him find his sister Shirley, however this information greatly anger Rolo. One moment Shirley was staring Rolo, the next moment a bullet was floating in front of her and Rolo was now being held against a nearby wall by an invisible force.
Rolo had used his Geass and took aim at Shirley. He fired a single bullet, but was shocked to see the bullet stopped mere inches from Shirley. That was when he noticed Seth and was forced towards a nearby wall. Seth used the force to hold Rolo against the wall while he figured out what was going on. He didn't care that Shirley was witnessing his telekinetic powers. It was mere moments later that Lelouch joined in the chaos.
Seth explain what was going on to his knowledge and Lelouch was shocked to learn that Shirley wanted to join him, and that Rolo just tried to kill her.
Unfortunately they group didn't have time to talk as Seth sensed that Britannian soldiers were making their way into the mall he choke Rolo using the force to the point of him losing concessions, but staying alive. Seth picked up the unconscious Rolo and the group moved to the transport.
Several Days Later.
After the whole incident at the mall, Shirley became a member of the Black Knights and was still at the school. She didn't really have any role beside emotional support for Lelouch. After Rolo's attempt at killing Shirley, Lelouch was about to kill him, however he decided against it as it would raise too many flags for the OSI forces still under his father control. Rolo for sure thought that he was gonna be killed, but was shocked when Lelouch stated that he wasn't gonna be killed, and even more shock when Shirley came up the Geass user and forgive him. This led to Rolo to start calling Shirley Onee-san. With Jeremiah joining Lelouch, the Black Knights now knew the location of the order as well as V.V. location. Lelouch order a strike on the order with the goal of total annihilation.
A few days later.
Inside of The Geass Order headquarters, V.V. Received a call from Lelouch who revealed himself as Zero. But as he was communicating with the leader of the Black Knights, the order's headquarters began to shake violently. Lelouch was just distracting the director V.V while his men fight their way through the headquarters and kill anyone that was in his way.
Seth was inside of [B.L.A.Z.E.] leading the massacre. He began to use [B.L.A.Z.E.] to fire at anything that was moving. Including the civilian scientists. He had no remorse for these people that were experimenting on humans as well as their creations, regardless of their age. As Seth was raising hell inside of the Order's headquarters, Lelouch soon joined him. Only for Shinkiro to be attacked by the Siegfried.
The Siegfried, a specially designed knight that was more like a Flying Fortress than anything else, was only capable of being piloted by two people as it requires a cybernetic nervous system to link up with the machine. The first of these two people are Jeremiah Gottwald, but since his loyalty now belonged to Lelouch, the only other person that could operate it, was the current director of The Order, V.V. Seth, who was inside of [B.L.A.Z.E.], immediately launched an assault on the massive Knightmare and quickly took it down with no trouble at all, to the shock of V.V.
Lelouch ordered the massacre to continue as he searched for V.V. as it was clear that the immortal had escaped, as the wreckage of the Siegfried had nothing in it.
Towards the end of the operation, Seth was using his force abilities to sense his surroundings and noticed that both Lelouch and C.C. were gone. They had disappeared. That was when he sensed something very odd coming from a strange looking wall that had markings on it. Nearby the wall he found a dead V.V and grew concerned for his friend's safety. Soon several tendrils of light came from the wall and wrapped around [B.L.A.Z.E.].
Blaze quickly noticed that Seth was no longer inside of her and quickly took control of her body. She and flame began to wonder where Seth had disappeared to.
C's World.
Seth found himself inside of a strange location, he looked around and saw what appeared to be Jupiter in the sky, and some sort of massive strange moving double helix object in the background. Seth finally noticed C.C standing next to Emperor Charles and Shinkiro was being trapped by several metallic objects. Seth sensed that something serious was about to happen between Charles and C.C. He used the force to free Shinkiro and pull C.C away from the emperor. With Shinkiro freed, Lelouch fired at the Emperor with his Knightmare, and caused massive damage to the surrounding structure. The dimensions began to distort, Seth quickly leaped on top of Shinkiro and Lelouch flew off the platform they were on.
The trio somehow made it back to the headquarters of The Order and things seem well. That was until they learned that C.C didn't have her memories anymore. All she remembered was being a slave girl.
One Month Later.
After the loss of C.C memories, Lelouch was left with so many questions. Why did she know about that strange world and not tell him. Why was the emperor unable to die after being shot in the heart. However he had to put u those thoughts aside as today was the ratification of the United Federation of Nation. Thanks to the recent actions of the Britannian government, Lelouch was able to deduce that Emperor Charles was trapped in that strange world they were in. Soon Lelouch would have a military force that could rival Britannia.
The UFN announced that it would have no official military, it would instead contract the Black Knights as their military force. Their first operation would be the liberation of Japan. As they were in the middle of the ratification, Emperor Charles hijacked the broadcasting system and opening mocked the new union of nation. This only ignited the flames of wars.
The next day.
After the ratification of the UFN the Black Knights set out and launched their invasion of Japan to free it once and for all from Britannian rule. However Lelouch knew that this would put Nunnally in grave danger consider the fact that the emperor knew that Lelouch was once again zero and wouldn't hesitate to use his own children to advance his goals. He didn't know what to do. Shirley confronted him and told him he did have a friend that he could entrust Nunnally's safety. Lelouch knew that Suzaku would never forgive him for killing Euphemia and most likely disregard his request, but Shirley convinced him after stating that she forgave him even though he was responsible for her father's death.
Lelouch eventually called Lelouch and revealed that he had taken up the mantle of Zero once more. Suzaku told him to meet him at the Kururugi shrine to speak. Only then would he hear his request.
As the invasion of Japan began. Lelouch headed towards the Kururugi arugi shrine alone. As he reached the top of the shrine's stairs, he saw the knight of Seven alone. The two began to talk and Lelouch got on his knees. He beg Suzaku to save Nunnally. Suzaku couldn't believe the nerve Lelouch had to appear before him after all the suffering he made him go through. Suzaku agreed to save Nunnally only for her sake as he knew that the Emperor would use her without hesitation. As the two former friends agreed to work one last time, several Britannian soldiers moved out of the nearby vegetation. Several Knightmare surrounded Lelouch.
"Suzaku! You lied to me?!" Lelouch said as he was trapped.
"Wait! I didn't do this! All of you stand-" Suzaku was interrupted by Kanon Maldini, Prince Schneizel right hand man.
"Good work Sir Kururugi." Just as the Britannian soldiers were about to grab Lelouch, two red lightsabers ignited and stabbed the two soldiers.
"What the-" the Knightmare pilots surrounding Lelouch were hit by bolts of force Lightning killing them. Lelouch turned around and saw his second in command right behind him.
"Seth?" Lelouch said in shock. He didn't think he would be follow.
"Seth, you're with the Black Knights?" Suzaku said as he overheard Lelouch's words.
"Lelouch why do we even wear mask if you're just gonna tell them who we are." Seth said as he removed his mask.
"Why did you follow me?" Lelouch stated.
"I knew the man that betrayed his homeland couldn't be trusted. I thought I was wrong towards the end of your conversation, but I was proven right in the end."
"So Zero and his right hand man are nothing more than children." Kanon said. Gilbert Guilford was among the men in the Knightmares and knew that these two men were far too dangerous to be left alive if they couldn't be capture. He was about to attack, when Lelouch took a pose. The leader of the Black Knights had used his Geass on Guilford in the event something happened to him. Guilford suddenly saw Lelouch as Princess Cornelia.
"Your majesty?!"
"Guilford my knight. Help me!" Lelouch said to the knight. Guilford wasted no time to pick up Seth and Lelouch and the trio left the area.
"Lelouch!" Suzaku yelled as he saw his once friend leave.
Several Hours Later.
Lelouch was left with no choice but to kidnap Nunnally. He had Sayako and Rolo infiltrated the viceroy building while he led the charge on the Tokyo settlement.
In the midst of the conflict, Seth was able to protect Lelouch from three knight of the round table. Anya was distraught at the thought of having to fight her 'boyfriend'. Even though Seth attempted several times to break off the relationship. They did go on what could be several dates. Which was mostly Seth doing things to help Lelouch prepare for this day and mysteriously Anya encountered him. The two would spend time together, but to be honest he felt that Anya was a friend.
As the fighting over the Tokyo Settlement intensified, Kallen was freed and joined the battle in a upgraded Guren now called the Guren S.E.I.T.E.N. This machine was significantly more powerful than all current Knightmares.
Things looked like it was the end for Suzaku as Kallen fought and was mere moments away from killing the knight of Seven, however thanks to the Geass Lelouch gave him, Suzaku would use the F.L.E.I.J.A the Lancelot was equipped it. As Suzaku fired the warhead, Seth quickly created a black hole with [B.L.A.Z.E.] and launched it towards the weapon of mass destruction. The black sphere was able to consume the Fleija, but not before it could completely vaporize the Viceroy building. There was no way for Nunnally to have escaped the blast. This decimated Lelouch emotionally and was in no position to give out orders. Seth ordered a cease fire and the Black Knights pulled out as did the Britannians.
Several Hours Later.
Both sides were now in a ceasefires to assess the casualties of the mass of weapon system. Seth was able to prevent the situation from being much worse, but the Fleija was able to take 1.6 million lives from the devastating blast.
Lelouch was in no condition to lead the Black Knights as he was hell bent on recovering his sister, but Seth knew that was impossible. The whole viceroy building was vaporized. As Shirley, Rolo, and the amnesia ridden C.C tried to comfort the distraught man, Seth began to meditate and connecting with the force. Thanks to his friendship with Lelouch he could now clearly sense him. He soon sensed that his friend would soon be in danger.
Store room four.
Lelouch was told that Ohgi wanted to talk to him in this area from Kallen. Kallen was shocked to see Shirley in the same room as Zero and wanted to spend a lot of time reconnecting with her old friend, but that would have to wait as they had to meet Ohgi. Seth decided to tag along just in case this feeling He had would come true. Seth sensed a hostile presences and motion for Kallen and Lelouch to allow him to go first through the elevator. As the trio entered the room they found several spotlights. Seth's mask instantly allowed him to see several dozen Black Knights members pointing their weapons at Lelouch.
"It's over Zero-no, Lelouch!" Toudou Kyoshirou shouted with anger.
"How dare you deceive us!" Chiba Nagisa said after Toudou
"We know about your Geass, Lelouch!" Ohgi Kaname said leaving Lelouch baffled. Who could have told them about his power or his heritage. Kallen attempt to get the Black Knights members who were told the truth about Zero to speak, but it was futile. They weren't listening. Seth was shocked that the Black Knights would be convince to easily from the Britannians. Were they really that dumb, he wondered.
"So you would side with the Britannian over the man that got your pathetic asses this far over some information that could have been falsely? You do realize that if you were truly under the control of his Geass, you wouldn't doubt anything Zero did. That fact that you can freely think about Zero proves that you're not under his influence." Seth stated causing many of the Black Knights to think momentarily, before the idiot of the group spoke.
"Lies! All lies!" Tamaki shouted. It was obvious to Seth that this was going nowhere. Seth decided to learn something in the meantime.
"Kallen Kozuki, it appears fates has brought you at a crossroads." Seth said to the red headed rebel.
"It's quite obvious that Lelouch is no longer safe here so now you must choose will you side with the land of Japan and be its protector or will you side with the man you're in love with and protect him at his most vulnerable."
"What?! Love?!"
"Kallen, now is not the time for high school feelings bullshit. I know you didn't have a part in this so I'm offering you the chance to come with us when we leave. Kallen, Lelouch still needs your help." Seth stated.
"Don't listen to him Kallen! He ordered the massacre of the Japanese using his Geass on Princess Euphemia! He even used his Geass on you!" Ohgi shouted.
"Lelouch, I need to know two things before I make my decision. Why did you order the massacre and why did you use your Geass on me?" Lelouch removed his mask to he could talk to Kallen face to face. He was hesitant at first but thanks to a little force persuasion, he began to speak.
"I used my Geass on you the first day you arrived at Ashford Academy to ascertain if you were the terrorist from the Shinjuku ghetto piloting the red Knightmare frame. My Geass can only work once on a person. Your loyalty to me and all of your action in the Black Knights have been yours alone." Lelouch stated.
"And the massacre?"
"That was an accident."
"Accident?! How thehell do you accidentally ordered a massacre?!" Tamaki shouted. Seth was fight off the urge to choke the idiot.
"My Geass power went out of control. I didn't mean to order her to kill the Japanese. I was tell her about my Geass and it uttered the words 'I could order you to kill all the Japanese' at that time. My Geass activated on its own and she was forced to carry out my order. I should have killed her myself, but I couldn't bring myself to kill my sister and the Japanese people payed for my mistake." Lelouch said shocking the room. Kallen now had her answer.
"Lelouch, I've come so far only because of you. I would have died at the Shinjuku ghetto if not for you. I'll stand by your side till the end of my days." Kallen said shocking Lelouch. Seth was smirking behind his mask, but he sensed danger coming.
"Open fire on the traitors!" Toudou shouted. The Black Knights members who were points their assault rifles at Zero soon felt an invisible force rip the guns from their hands and watched as they all began to crumple like a piece of paper.
"What the hell?!" Tamaki shouted in shock.
"Kallen, as Zero's knight, your job is to escort hi out of this ship and get him to safety. Rolo, C.C. and Shirley are ready to leave as well. Go meet up with them. Things are going to get really messy here and I doubt you want to see this." Seth said as he ignited his two crimson red lightsaber.
