The light of the star can take millions of years to reach earth, so when you look at star, you are looking back in time -Anonymous

Prophet of Truth: Greetings to the people of the world. It is I The Prophet of Truth. Knowledge is free, we are legion, we do not forgive, we do not forget, expect us. 

The people are minding their own business in the streets when their daily news broadcast has been hacked again. It started to static and then the mysterious voice came back again to Area 11.

Prophet of Truth: For today we are going to awaken everyone from their eternal sleep again. I've come to show the footage of Viceroy Cornelia who has committed these acts of crimes against humanity. Come watch.

The screen transitions to show that the Japanese are being brutally murdered by Cornelia's forces. Everyone who had watched this video was horrified and see what has Cornelia did to repeat the massacres as Clovis did at Shinjuku. Even the sub-viceroy has seen what she has seen in her office. After that Truth just said

Prophet of Truth: Now I've shown you, I have no other things to show you yet. But know this, This so-called Princess Cornelia will answer the crimes against humanity. She must face justice. Any Britannian following their cruel and corrupt methods will be the enemy of this world. This is the Prophet of Truth signing off. Knowledge is free, we are legion, we do not forgive, expect us.

Then as he disappeared from the screen, the screen went back to normal. Afterward, more riots break out all over Area 11. Japanese and Britannians were rioting and destroying things on the streets. They are rioting for the crimes that Cornelia committed as Clovis did. The world watches that Area 11 is really a severe disaster crisis. 

As for Euphemia, she couldn't believe what she has seen with her eyes, she had tears in her eyes. She didn't want any of this. She wanted peace between the Japanese and Britannians. As she came to face to face with her elder sister. The first thing she did was.

SLAP!

Cornelia can feel the warm mark on her face after Euphie slapped her face. Darlton and Guilford as also part of it as well. Euphie hated her sister repeatedly for the exact same as his brother Clovis did in the Shinjuku ghetto. Euphemia said to her angrily. 

Euphie: How Could You!

Cornelia: Euphie, I can explain

Euphie slapped her again

Euphie: I don't want to hear you damn excuses! What did those people do to you? 

Guilford steeped in

Guilford: Please, Sub-viceroy. There is an explanation

Euphie: SILENCE!

She angrily shouted. Guilford is starting to be afraid of her being angry. In fact, no one has seen her being angry. 

Euhpie: Tell me now.......

Cornelia sighed and said

Cornelia: My plan was to repeat the same thing as our brother did to Shinjuku so we can lure out Zero at the opening.

Euphie: BY MURDERING PEOPLE!??

Darlton: Your highness, there are terrorist in the Saitama ghetto and the Elevens aren't reporting to the authorities

Euphie: SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT, WHILE THOSE PEOPLE WERE MINDING THEIR  OWN BUSINESS, YOU DECIDED TO JUST SHOOT THEM AT SIGHT?! HOW DO YOU EXPECT THEM TO KNOW WHERE IS ZERO? I WILL NOT TOLERATE IT!

Cornelia: But Euphie, he killed Clovis, even what he has done to his action, he still our family blood

Euphemia: So you want us to be just like him? Be labeled as a cold-blooded murderer

Cornelia and everyone was shocked at what she just said to her. Cornelia can't believe her own sister called her a cold-blooded murderer. 

Euphie: I thought Clovis is worse, but no, I discovered today that my own sister is worse than Clovis.

Cornelia: Euphie please-

Euphie: Thanks to you.... Area 11 is in chaos! You, Viceroy, have created the exact same thing for Shinjuku. You are responsible for everything. I ordered people to give medical care. Thankfully the citizens are helping out the ghettos. 

Cornelia: Euphie...

Euphie: I thought Clovis was a..a...monster....but no....I've learned today that my own sister is nothing more than a cold-blooded monster! 

Euphie turned her back at her and walks out of the room Cornelia was devastated by her sister as tears began to flow down from her cheek. she collapsed on her knees to the floor and sobbed for her shameful acts. Guildford and Darlton went over to comfort her. They finally admit it's their fault for making up that stupid act. and now citizens are beginning to question them for their actions. This whole event would eventually change Cornelia forever and questioning her allegiance. 

Euphie ran out to the hallways as tears blew off her eyes. She then said in her mind

Euphie: I wish Sapientia was here. I could really use his wisdom right now

Little did she know, Sapientia is actually alive. Charles claims that he died during the pacific war while visiting Japan. In reality, he never died, he was taken back to the URA and was given a new life in America. No longer he is named Sapientia li Britannia but now named Sapientia Christensen. Sapientia currently has a new life in America. He got married has three children and now owns a business called Omega Space Corporation. His company goes into space and mine out some resource found at the asteroid belts and he earns at least $200,000 a year as he salary. Surely he is a forgotten member of the li Britannia family member, but only Euphie remembered him. She was her favorite brother, he would always give her some life lessons and some knowledge of the meaning of life.

Lelouch entered her sister's room as Nunnally is folding more papers of the origami cranes that Sayoko told her about. Unfortunetly Sayako wasne' here as she went out to buy groceries for Lelouch and Nunnally. 

Nunnally: Oh hi Lelouch how are you?

Lelouch: I'm good, I just finished class..say where is Sayoko?

Nunnally: At the store, she will be making us some of the Japanese favorite dish, it's curry

Lelouch: Curry? Oh, I always loved those ever since I came to Japan.

Then a knock on the door was made, Lelouch answered it ,and it shows to be Ethan in his uniform

Ethan: Hey Lelouch

Lelouch: Oh Ethan, how are you today?

Ethan: I'm good, so I have something to tell you....well there is someone here to see you.

As he moved away, it showed to be Jeremiah Gottwald

Jeremiah: Y-your highness

He said as he shocked that the information was given by Leon is true. Although he was happy to see them again, Lelouch slamed the door at them. Lelouch began to barracide the door as he got his siters and tried to escape the room

Lelouch: Nunallly we need to get out of ere

Nunnally: What's wrong?

Lelouch: A member of the purist faciton found us

Nunnally: What!? How!

Then the door was kicked down by Ethan as the two male entered the room. Jeremiah was amazed on how strong Ethan was.

Jeremiah: That's impressive

Ethan: Thank You Mr. Gottwald

Jeremiah: Your highness, please don't panic. I'm not here to hurt you

Lelouch: Liar!

Lelouch shouted. he grabbed Nunnally's wheel chai and rain around the table to reach the door. Ethan then blocked the door infront of them

Ethan: Hold on Lelouch, here's not here to hurt you or Nunnally. Milly and Ruben already knows about this

Lelouch: WHAT?!

Jeremiah: Your highness, please hear my out. I have served your mother when you and your sister were only kids, I was her loyal guard back then. I idolized her and I respected her. After the death of your mother, i was very heartbroken, and after I heard about your deaths, well I thought you were dead, I joined the pursit faction because, well you know. Anyways there was this man who contaced me and gave me another chance in life. It was you guys.

Jeremiah said as he knelt down triytng to convinced them

Jeremiah: Please, my allegiance is now passed on the Marianne children, not the Purist faction, not Britannia, just you guys. I beg you give me a chance to serve you again. I will not anyone harm the Marianne Children. I'll rather die as a Martyr.

He said as tears began to flow out his eyes. Lelouch and Nunnall stopped pancking as Lelouch let got of her wheelchair. They can tell he is indeed telling the truth. If Ethan is here, then clearly he has set this up. 

Lelouch: You sworen loyalty to my mother

Jeremiah: Yes 

Lelouch: If you are then I believe you.....rise, Jeremiah 

Jeremiah then got up. He looked very happy to believe he is telling the truth. Nunally was calm and happy that he was once a guard of her mother. A door opens to see Sayoko coming back with groceries. As she got back it happens to began an awkward situation between Jeremiah and Sayoko.

Sayoko: Um, Master Lelouch..Who is this?

Lelouch: Sayoko, I would like to meet...our old servant once served my mother, Lady Marianne. Jeremiah Gottwald. Sayoko, can you prepare the cup of tea for us

Sayoko: right away Master Lelouch 

---

After they were done drinking tea Lelouch said to Jeremiah.

Lelouch: Jeremiah, promise us you won't tell anyone, especially my own sibling to know me and Nunnally were alive. 

Jeremiah: of course your highness.

Lelouch: I appreciate it. But I prefer just to be called Lelouch and Nunnally

Jeremiah: of course Lelouch

Nunnally: So where did you get the information that we're still alive?

Jeremiah: Don't know, some mysterious woman came to me when I was drinking. I don't know how, but I don't see any suspicion. All it matters, she gave me a new life

Lelouch: Jeremiah no matter what situation I am in, will you still be loyal to me no matter what

Jeremiah: of course Master Lelouch, I will be your servant till the end of my life, or yours

Lelouch: That's good

Jeremiah: Well I got to go, It's nice to see you all

Lelouch and Nunnally said goodbye as Jeremiah left the dorms. After that he encountered Ethan who was waiting for him

Ethan: So, how is your reunion of the Marianne Children?

jeremiah: It's was good

Ethan: did he tell you he is Zero?

Jeremiah: No, but I don't care if he is Zero. I don't care if he made some organization. I am his loyal servant, I have sworn my life to protect the Marianne Children

Ethan: That's good to hear, well I shall be going now. Good day Jeremiah Gottwald

He turns around and walk away in the hallway. Jeremiah went out the place and headed back to his stay at the hotel. 

===

The next day, Shirley, Milly, and some other students from Britannia decided to head out for the day. They are heading over to Lake Kawaguchi. 

Shirley: I've never left the Tokyo Settlement before, this is my first time!

Milly: I'm sure you wish Lelouch could have come with us, don't you?

Shirley: No, ah.

Milly: Don't be so shy. Tonight we can stay up all night talking. Let's tell each other which boys we like from school.

Shirley: Then you'll probably have a lot to talk about, right Ms. President?

Milly: Who can say?

Nina on the other hand was feeling nervous leaving the settlment. She just dosen't have any courage at all

Milly: Nina, it's all right. There are lots of Britannian tourists at Lake Kawaguchi so security's fine. Don't be afraid, it's not the ghettos.

Nina: Yes, but...

Milly: We'll be with you the whole time. We won't leave your side for a second.

Nina: Thanks.

Zero's Hideout

Zero or known as Lelouch was next to Jeremiah Gottwald or his alias, Code Orange. Jeremiah was wearing the standard Black Knights uniform. As soon as the resistance members entered the room, they were amazed to see the layout.

Zero: What are you waiting for? Come in. As of now, this place will be our hideout.

Ougi: So, you think joining up with us is a good idea?

Zero: Yes. We're comrades, after all.

Tamaki: Holy cow.

Kento: So what is this, huh?

Ougi: Do you mind if I ask how you came by this?

Zero: My loyal friend here, who goes by Code Orange was able to convince a rather libertine nobleman who indulges his request

Ohgi: wait a minute, isn't he?

Zero: That's right, Jeremiah Gottwald, he defected to us, and now he is my loyal subject. Don't worry, he is no threat

Ohgi: If you say so

Kento:  It's huge. Check it out, it's got a second story.

Then Kento turned on the television to reveal a new cast to show the Lake Kawaguchi Covention center hotel has been hijacked by the Japanese Liberation Front.

Reporter: Members of the Sakuradite Allocation Meeting, most notably Chairman James, were taken hostage, as well as several tourists and hotel employees. This footage was taken by the perpetrators. In it, you can clearly see Chairman James, including some students.

Kallen: From the Student Council.

Reporter: The leader of the group claims to be Lieutenant Colonel Kusakabe of the now-defunct Japanese...

Toudou: That imbecile!

Reporter: Sakuradite, an essential component in the manufacture of high-temperature superconductors, is a vital strategic resource that directly affects world security. Area 11 is the largest producer of this material, providing 70% of the world's total supply. Here at the yearly national meeting of sakuradite producers, it will be determined how this resource will be distributed among the world's nations. It's no exaggeration to say that the outcome determines the balance of global power between Britannia and other countries. It is believed that the terrorists are using world interest in the annual gathering to their advantage by carrying out this violent hotel takeover.

-----

Back at Ashford, Bravo team was watching the events in the same room. It was until they recieve a call from Captain Keyes. 

Keyes: Bravo Team, can you hear me?

Ethan: Loud and clear, what do you need?

Keyes: We need help. The Hostages at the Lake Kawaguchi

Ethan: You want us to go save them?

Keyes: yes by all means, meet us back at these coordinate

Ethan: Roger that

Bravo team went over to inform Ruben about the incident, he was very scared that her grandaughter was inside that Hotel. Ethan told him that he will bring them back safe and sound. After that, they ran to the underground sewers of the school. Changed into their uniform and then got onto their Guardians. The Guardians then turned on their cloaking device and then began flying off into the skies meeting them at some secret URA hideout which is a warehouse. At the warehouse, they met the CIA leader, Leon, Captain Keyes, and some URA soldiers who are preparing their equipment for the mission.

Sage: What's going on?

Leon: according to some intelligence, one of the JFL members named Lt. Col Josui Kusakabe lead his loyal men to hijack the hotel. Basically, they have gone rogue.

David: So you heard

Leon: Yes, I received word from Jeremiah that Viceroy Cornelia isn't a type of person recusing hostage, her plan to attack the hotel regardless of how many people died especially both JFL renegades and hostages.

David shook his head 

Soyeon: That Cornelia lady doesn't show any humility, she only cares for herself. 

Leon: Cornelia won't hesitate to head on unless someone who is so much caring to her trapped with the hostage

Everyone then realized who that person was

Ethan: Euphemia.....is she inside the hotel?

Leon: my agents said that

Ethan: Alright, let's go, Operation Kawaguchi begins here

G1 Mobile Base

Cornelia Guildford and Darlton are in the command center as they received word that JFL have make a move by taking over the hotel and hold hostage for demand. Cornelia on the other hand was still thinking about the time when Euphie scolded her. 

Flashback

Euphie was still angry about the time when Cornelia murdered innocent people at the Saitama ghetto.

Euphie: Viceroy if you wish for my forgiveness, then prove it to me. I want you to show humility to anyone no matter what

Cornelia cringed hearing that her own little sister called her Viceroy

Cornelia: Euphie....

Euphie: It's SUBVICEROY TO YOU

Cornelia: Subviceroy, i really want your forgiveness. I'll prove to you to show humility towards anyone

Euphie: Then do it! Don't be a Clovis

Flashback End

Cornelia: I'll show you Euphie...I'll show you humility......Does dose anyone has a plan for rescuing the hostages?

Subordinate: All bridges connecting to the hotel with the exception of the main one have been destroyed. Our attempted approaches from the air and water have been unsuccessful. There's only one route left that will allow us to develop a possible hostage rescue plan. The main utilities tunnel running directly beneath the Convention Center Hotel. Basically, we would go in through this route, destroy the foundation block, and submerge the hotel. Since the tunnel was also built to handle supply deliveries, it should be able to accommodate Sutherlands. Even if the enemy has taken precautions it should be no problem.

Cornelia: That's crazy, MY SISTER IS IN THERE! I want the hostages to be free before that hotel submerges

Subordinate: We're going to do everything we can to save them.

Three Sutherlands went underground to began their charge 

Sutherland Pilot: Go.

A Britannian Knight pilot said as he and his squad move forward to the tunnel. Unknown to them, the JFL has made a new Knightmare called Raiko. A siege cannon made by four Glasgow variants. Only to be destroyed by it.

At Zero's hideout, Kallen was organizing the boxes when she heard the news from the other room where Zero and Jeremiah was watching.

Reporter: Is there anything you want to say to the terrorists?

Shirley's Dad: She was only sightseeing. Shirley is still a student, but these criminals act indiscriminately. Savages... I want to know if Shir- I want to know if my daughter is alright. She hasn't done anything wrong.

Reporter: All he's asking...

Lelouch: We need to organize before we fight them again. It's too soon though, we're not ready, but we can't just sit here and do nothing either. Knowing Cornelia, she'll sacrifice the hostages. Ah, then why doesn't she make her move? Is it possible...

Jeremiah: Zero, shoudn't we do something?

Kallen: yeah Zero, what will happen to the hostages?

Lelouch: Eventually, there will be no reason to keep those Britannians alive.

Kallen: Yeah... I'm sure you're right.

Ougi: Hey Zero, I found these. Should I hand them out to everyone? I mean as far as gear goes it looks pretty hip but we're just a resistance group so...

Lelouch: Wrong!

Ougi: Uh.

Lelouch: We're not a resistance group, is that clear?

Ougi: Well then, what are we?

Lelouch: What we are, what we're trying to be... are knights for justice!

Jeremiah smiled with satisfaction.

Kallen: Knight's of Justice?

Zero: Yes. We are no longer a resistance group. We can't forget what they have done to this prople of this land

Ohgi: What's the plan?

Zero: We are going to save the hostages regardless of what race they are. Understood?

Kallen: Yes Zero

Ohgi: By the way Zero, there is something I need to tell you

Zero: what?

Ohgi: Well ever since the Shinjuku incident there was something that is invovled in there

Kallen: What do you mean Ohgi?

Ohgi: half of the population of the ghetto went missing during the attack. I have a feeling that we have another faction in Japan who are fighting against Britannia.

Kallen: like that strange green armored person?

Ohgi: Yeah not to mention I saw this strange knightmore out of nowhere were able to slice off teh Britannian forces like they are nothing.

Lelouch was thinking could those knightmares be the one invovled in the Shinjuk and Saitama ghetto

Zero; Looks like thats a question is yet to be determined, but nevertheless if you say what is true, then there is indeed another faction in Japan

Kallen: no kidding

Zero: If they are, there is no telling what they are planning.

Night Time, Outside of Lake Kawaguchi

Bravo Team, Delta Team, and some of the CIA including Leon were taking out some of the rouge JFL soldiers patrolling outside of the hotel. They moved towards the hotel when they saw something on top.

Leon: Oh my goodness

Sage: They are crazy! 

David: They are falling

Ethan then activates his jetpack and catches him before he was going to drop down to his death. He then alnded him on the ground safety.

Britannian Civillian: Thank you....Those guys are......

Before he could say anything, they flashed him with a bright light causing him to pass out.

Sage: It's best not to know our existence.

They gently put him on the boat and proceeded with the mission. Then they took a peak of the door to see a few JFL soldiers inside.

Ethan: Alright everyone, activate your stealth

Bravo team then turned on their stealth including some of the delta team and the CIA troops. Some stayed outside to see if any Britannian civilians are going to fall. On their way up, they took out some of the JFL soldiers who were guarding each floor. They had their silencers on. After reaching the right floor, the Bravo team kicked the door opened and David yelled out.

David: FLASHBANG!!!

He throws a flashbang at them and causing the JFL Soldiers to be temporarily blind.

JFL Soldier 1: I can't see

JFL Soldier: The hell is that!

The team entered the room and fired at them while aiming around the area to see any surprise attack come out of hiding. 

Delta Leader: Clear! Bravo Team, i want you to rescue the hostage, my team and the CIA will take care of the rest 

Ethan: Right away, team folow me 

David, Sage, Soyeon: Yes sir

They all said. Bravo Team moved into the frong while Delta Team and the CIA went to different direciton for taking out any hostility. For a little while, Bravo team spotted the JFL Soldiers as they open fired at them

JFL Soldlier 1: What the? The Britannian ahve sent-

He said as he got shot in the head

JFL Sodlier 2: Fuck! You bastard

Soyeon moved faster towards him as she take him down in close combat and snapped his neck with her barehands. David saw spotted some JFL Soldiers and fired his ARX-160 rifle at them. Sage quickly tackled a JFL soldier into the ground and stabs right into the throat. Ethan fires a DMR from an oncoming soldiers. A JFL solider was able to shoot Ethan, but due to the Mjolnir Armor, it had shields so no effect was made. Ethan then switched to his M10AF Lexington pistol and shot him in the head. They keep going until they spotted something out the window.

Sage: Bravo-1 are you seeing this? 

Ethan: Yes, I'll contact Leon

He then activated radio communicaiton through his HUD and he said

Ethan: Leon, this is Bravo-1 we just saw an unknown vehicle head  this way. Can you identify it?

Leon: Yes......I got sights on it. It's Zero

Ethan: What? Lelouch?

Soyeon: Well it's about time he arrives

Sage: You think he is here to resuce the hostages

David: Most likely, we must continue the mission

Ethan: Leon we are continue this operation. No matter what regards

Leon: Copy that

Bravo Team continue on foot as they see more JFL sodliers in the hallway as fighting continues. They keep going forwards through the hallway until they reached their destination

Soyeon: Bravo-1 there are hostages on the otherside of hte room, but I can tell there are more JFL Sodliers inside.

Ethan: Alright, load up your weapons, and check them. It's going to be a hell.

--- 

Back with the CIA and Delta team, they killed off most of the JFL Rouge Soldiers because of their highly trained from the URA military, including their advanced weaponry. 

Delta Leader: This is Delta-1 it's done. All hostile are neutralized

Leon: Very good, return to the extraction point

Delta: What about Bravo Team

Leon: Don't worry, I have faith in them.

------

Milly and Shirley are keeping Nina safe from the JFL when the soldier stepped in, it spooked Nina out of his appearance.

Nina: An...Eleven.

Japan Liberation Front Member: What did you say?

Nina: Aah!

JLF Member: Not Elevens! We're Japanese, dammit.

Milly: Yes we're aware of that. Just lay off of her.

JLF Member: Then correct her, we're not called Elevens.

Shirley: Fine, we'll correct her.

JLF Member: How dare you speak like that to me? You three, come with me to the next room and I'll teach you a real lesson.

As they were going to grabbed Nina, the door kicked out to see Bravo team held on their pistols. The JFL and the hostages as well as Euphemia, shocked to see the apperance of Bravo team. The one in the middle looked like he was some type of demon.

JFL 1: What the hell, how did you get here? We have alot of guards downstair

JFL 2: You good as dead Britannains

Ethan: You call yourself a resistrance

Ethan said in like a demonic voice, in fact all of Bravo Team sound like demonic voices. (Something like what the Goua'ld would sound from Stargate. It's a way to keep their voices anonymous.)

Soyeon: You are not resisatnce you Japanese scum

David: Also we are not Britannians you better fix your damn mouth

The JFL were surpised, that is the first time someon calling to their old nationality

JFL: Did you call us Japanese?

Ethan: Of course, we are peopel with different natilaities regardless of being numbers

JFL1: Well since you have been nice, I'll ask you nicely. Sith down with the hostages, and our leader might consider you four to leave

Soyeon: Not possible

JFL2: What?

Ethan: You heard her. We don't take kindly to terroirst, or we don't tolerate terrorism, or any kind of insurrectionist. Especially you guys have gone rouge on thier pathetic operaiton without Tohdoh approval.

The hostages are now whispering on what he just said. Euphie was suprised they called them Japanese,  but hey won't take thier offer. She wondered who are these people coming here.

David: If you wish your independence, then maybe you should leave the innocent alone, and target the military. But no you decided to take over this hotel, and take hostages, and attempt ot kill one of them

Ethan: I managed to save him from falling

JFL2; YOu did what!?

Soyeon: Yup no wonder why the JFL are called Terrorist, idiots!

JFL1: Now you are dead

Ethan: Open fire Bravo Team

Bravo team fired their pistols at every JFL soldier in the room, carefully not to shoot the hostages. After that, they are all dead, and everyone is safe, but one managed to dodge and take Euphie as a hostage. He then placed a gun on her head.

Ethan: Cowards.....Bravo-3, take my pistol

David took the smart pistol and aimed at the Japanese head.

JFL1 Soldier: HEY DO YOU HEAR ME! I HAVE A GUNPOINT ON THIS.....

Then he pulled the trigger as the bullet gose right into the skull. Euphie was released from his graps as went towards David. The JFL soldier fell on the floor dead. Everyone felt dumbstruck that they killed all the JFL soldiers. 

David: Are you ok? your highness

Euphie: uhh...yes thank you kind sir

Ethan: Everyone, get out of here, there are boats waiting there. Go go go!

They all nodded as they were moving out. Shirely is holding Nin to saftey as Milly is right behind them before she looked at the green armored man. There was a number on his chest that said 100.

Milly: Thank you

Ethan nodded

Ethan: No problem, Milly

Milly: Wait a minute! Ethan?

Ethan then revealed his face but only removing the HUD and showing only his eyes. Milly then realized it was really Ethan. The same boy from Ashford. 

Ethan: We got permission from your grandfather. Tell him to send his regards.. now follow them. You will be safe

Milly smiled and nodded. The last one was Euphemia as she hasen't move and inch the nEthan noticed she was still here.

David: Your highness you must move now!

Euphie: how did you know?

David: We researched you. Now get out of here

Euhpie: But

Ethan: Go!

Euphie then followed the rest of the group and leaves the room. Bravo team went ouf the room and leave the hotel for good. Only difference is that they went up to the roof to see if any of the hostages are back safe to the ground. All the while, the Black Knights were setting off bombs all over the building. Bravo Team witnessed to see that Kallen was indeed part of the resistance movement. She got her attention as she felt the presence of someone was wathcing her.

Kallen: Ethan?

Kallen immedatley notices it was indeed one of her classmates from school. She was correct. Ethan was indeed part of the Shinjuku incident and the boy who destroyed every Knightmare that was caugh on sight just by not using one.

David: Kallen? Kallen Kozuki? So this is what you been doing this whole time? heheh you can we've been doing almost the same thing

Kallen: So you are part of the military huh? Who is your alliegences?

Ethan: Neither any of the nations of the world. I don't work for the Malevoletn Britannians, not the corrupt EU, or the Socialist Chinese Federation

Kallen: Are you a deserter?

She looked at the others, immedatley noticing who they are

Kallen: wait a minute, Sage...David...Soyeon? 

They all took their helmets off except for Ethan

Soyeon: Smart girl as the rumors were true

Ethan: well we can't stick around anymore, we're getting out of here. Our misison today was to save the hostages and getting out of here. Oh by the way, I must apologizes what I'm about to do next.

Kallen: What?

Ethan: This!

He said as he throws a flashbang and it explode causing Kallen to go temporarily blind and then when her vision comes back, they were immedatley gone. She was very cluesless on what's just happened. Meanwhile, Zero was in another room with Kusakabe and his loyam embers. 

Lelouch: You have no intention of joining me?

Kusakabe: Remove that mask and reveal your real face to us. It's disrespectful not to.

Lelouch: I understand, but before I do, I'd like to ask you something. What exactly do you hope to accomplish by this action?

Kusakabe: Gain attention. I want this country and the world to know that the Japanese aren't dead yet.

Lelouch: How stale. You people are obsolete, there's no saving you.

JLF Member: What? Why you arrogant...

Kusakabe: Explain what you mean by that, Zero.

Suddently they were interrupted by a JFL Soldiers

JFL1: Sir, I'm unable to contact the others from downstairs or upstairs

Everyone except Zero were shoecked on what's going on. Kusakabe turned around at him and shotued.

Kusakabe: You! it was you who did this

JFL2: Wait a minute how do you know it was him?

Zero: He's right, what makes you think it was me?

The Kusakabe told Zero that their operation was worthless so concluding the fact that Zero was responsible for this. He then held on the Katan with his hand and prepare to chop Zero.

Kusakabe: Zero, there's no point talking anymore!

Lelouch: Die!

Lelouch used his geass on everyone and ended up killing themselves. most of then comitted Sepukku. The door opens to see Ohgi and the others arriving at the scene. They were horrified on what just happened.

Inoue: Oh my goodness!

Kento: What the hell happened?

Zero: The Colonel and the others committed suicide when they realized how meaningless this operation was. I tried to convince them to join us, but they ended up comitting sucidie.

Tamaki: what a terrible event 

Zero: what the status of the bombs

Ohgi: All planted and we are ready 

Zero: Good, step two

---

Soon Bravo team, CIA, and Delta Team rides on teh boat as they getting out of the hotel range. But then, the building starts to collapse to the ground

Delta1: What the fuck!

Delta2: That wasen't us

Ethan: It's Zero, he got new recurit ot join his cause

CIA Elite1: Did he attempt to blow up the building along with the hostages

CIA elite2: unlikely, But i do wonder what will they do next

Then suddenly their tablets went off as they watched what it seems to be a broadcast of Zeor making an apprance.

Ethan: What is that guy doing?

Lelouch: My dear Britannians, have no fear. All of the hostages from the hotel are safe and sound. I, Zero, return them to you unharmed.

Suzaku: They're fine.

Rivalz: Ah, they're all right.

Delta 2: Bullshit, we save them first

Ethan: Let's give them the credit, we can't expose ourselves to the General Public

Soon the lights turned on to see new members of his organized group. They were wearing dark uniforms and visors covering their eyes. Jeremiah was next to Zero as he said to everyone.

Lelouch: People! Fear us, or rally behind us as you see fit. We, are the Black Knights.

Soyeon: Black Knights?

David: A new faction in Japan. Interesting!

White House, Washington City

Mason Fiota was watiching on the holographic screen as he feel interesteed with the creation of the Black Knights

Fiota: Black Knights? That's very noble name. So this is what you have been doing Zero, or should I say Lelouch. I hope you are changing the world with your hands.

Lelouch: We of the Black Knights stand with all those who have no weapons to wield. Regardless of whether they be Elevens, or Britannians. The Japan Liberation Front cowardly took innocent Britannian civilians hostage, and they mercilessly executed them. It was a wanton and meaningless act, therefore they have been punished.

He said to the cameras. Among them is Kallen who is still thinking about Ethan and his team who arrived at the hotel. She wanted to know what was their mission on the hotel.

Kallen: Ethan...what were doing there, and who are you working for? If you are not working with anyone on Earth, but who?

Diethard: You heard me right, I said let it run. Liable? I'll be the one responsible for this.

Lelouch: Just as former Viceroy Clovis was punished for ordering the slaughter of countless unarmed Elevens, we could not stand by and allow such cruelty to be carried out, and so we made him pay for his actions. I will not repudiate battle on a fair and level field, but neither will I tolerate a one-sided massacre of the weak by the strong. The only ones who should kill, are those who are prepared to be killed! Wherever oppressors abuse their power by attacking those who are powerless, we shall appear again. No matter how mighty, how formidable our foe may be.

Kallen: Knights...for justice?

Kallen whispered

Lelouch: Those of you with power, fear us. Those of you without it, rally behind us. We, the Black Knights, shall be the ones who stand in judgment of this world.

As soon as they got back to shore, the CIA, Bravo Team, and Delta team immedatley went back to their hidden hideout in the same warehouse.

Leon: Operation Kawaguchi is a sucess

Eveyone applauded except for Bravo team who just watched them cheering and wooing. Bravo team then was dismissed for the night as they head back to Ashford Acadmey through the undeground sewers.
