The news broke out when they heard Princess Cornelia and Euphemia were captured by unknown terrorist group appearing in Narita during the operation to wipe out JLF. The britannian citizens drove panic and fear of what happened to those princesses. Without Princess Cornelia, a new replacement came to take control of Area 11. A viceroy replacement named Calares who is much worse than Cornelia as he oppress Elevens/Japaneses that are attempting to uprising.

There's also a new replacement of sub-viceroy since Euphemia being captured and the name is Alicia Lohmeyer.

Both people have a same idea to oppress the Eleven to remain control of Area 11. They reassured to britannians that they will save Cornelia and Euphemia from unknown terrorist as best as they can. The Alter-Japaneses are fear of them and they tried not to make any trouble, even means accepting to be discriminated.

...

In Ashford Academy, most of the students, especially Nina are shocked to heard the news. Nina feels shaking in fear as she's panicking of what would happen to Princess Euphemia after she came to save her from JLF soldier. She will never forget that day, bu it still scary to know what happened to her.

Lelouch heard the news as he tries to ignore it after he failed to capture Cornelia by himself to questioning her about the plot of his mother assassination. As he walking on the hallway, Shirley came and said to him.

Shirley: Lelouch.

Lelouch: Hm?

Shirley: Are you feeling alright?

Lelouch: Yeah, I'm fine. Just stress, that's all.

Shirley: Well, if you haven't notice Suzaku wasn't here today.

Lelouch: What? Are you sure?

Shirley nodded him.

Lelouch: In that case, he's doing something else, that's all.

Shirley: Um... yeah. But I wanna to ask you something.

Lelouch: And what is it?

Shirley: Well...

She pulled out an envelope and showing to him two tickets.

Shirley: My dad works where really long away from here. But he likes to send me great staff like this to keep my spirits up, you know? So, I was just wondering if you come with me to the concert.

Lelouch is thinking of his thoughts about going to the concert with Shirley. He cannot deny her offer so he just said.

Lelouch: Sure. When will we go there?

Shirley: Tonight.

Lelouch: Okay then. I'll be there, I promise.

Shirley makes a happy sound as she went to her dorm. Lelouch walks back to his sister to see her lying on the bed.

Lelouch: Nunnally, how are you feeling?

Nunnally: Lelouch, I'm not feel so well.

He place his hand on her forehead and feel hot.

Lelouch: You looks like you have a feve. I'll get a water and medicine for you

Nunnally: Okay.

Timeskip

He gives her a glass of water and a medicine as she drank it and lay down on the bed. Lelouch sits on the bed beside her as he place a hand on her. Nunnally asked him.

Nunnally: Lelouch, have you heard? Suzaku Kururugi isn't attending here this morning. I know he's busy but he should come and bisit us.

Lelouch: I know. But you must know he is a busy person, that's all.

Nunnally: Okay. I think I need to rest.

Lelouch: Yeah. Just rest well.

He puts a blanket on her and them kiss on her forehead. He leaves her room and close the door. His thoughts runs through that he is concerned about his best friend haven't come here lately.

Lelouch (thoughts): Suzaku... I don't know where you are, but I'm hope you're alright.

He walk down to the hallway to head back to his dorm.

Unknown to him, Milly was at the left corridor spying on Lelouch. Then, they contact her on the comms.

GDI operator (on comms): Ms. Ashford, has Lelouch here in the school?

Milly: Yes. He's here. But why do I have to spy on him?

GDI operator (on comms): You told me he always being absent for some reason. The GDI agency are concern of his whereabouts.

Milly: Are you saying he's a suspicious person? Look, I've known him every since he and his sister came to sheltered and give them in. He would never...

GDI operator (on comms): We have to protect him and his sister, Ms. Ashford. You don't wanna them being taken by britannian military, are you?

Milly: No.

GDI operator (on comms): Then you will keep reporting me of his whereabouts. If someone happens to Lelouch or Nunnally...

Milly: I understand. You don't have to tell me.

He turns off her comms and let out of sigh.

Milly: How did I ended up this way. I hope they are safe as long as GDI are here.

...

In the dark room, five members of Kyoto house are having some meeting. After new replacement of both viceroy and sub-viceroy, they feeling unsecured that they will coming for them.

Kirihara: So, the britannian new viceroy named Calares has taken control of Area 11 since Princess Cornelia was defeated and captured by these new group.

Munakata: I've heard the Japan Liberation Front was saved by new group who are superior arsenal than britannia. They also took over Narita.

Kubouin: If we don't do something, they will suppress us and be executed for helping our people to fight against the oppressor.

Kirihara: Hmm... How can we find hope in this situation like this.

???: There is hope.

They turned around behind the curtain to see 14-years old girl named Kaguya Sumeragi, a young head mistress of the Kyoto house and a cousin of Suzau Kururugi. Kirihara just said to her.

Kirihara: The Black Knights? You've been infatuated with Zero since he rescued Suzaku Kururugi. We even sent him the Guren Mk-II.

Kaguya: Yes. But I also like to bring a leader of this new group that fought in Narita.

Osakabe: With all due respect, but, is it wise to bring them here?

Kaguya: You said yourself that they saved JLF from Cornelia forces. Not to mention they captured Princess Euphemia as well.

Yoshino: Yes. I do remember hearing from the news.

Kubouin: Well, I don't wanna to die so we have to do it.

Munakata: He will be decide whether he'll bring this new group or not. Kirihara?

He is thinking about his decision to be protected from new ruthless viceroy and then he said.

Kirihara: We shall bring both group here. I wanted to talk to them so we may be work together to take back Japan.

Kaguya smiled that he approves her words.

...

Henry: And that's how we got here in the first place.

Katase, Euphemia, Tohdoh, and Four Holy Sword members are shocked and surprised of his origin story and tiberium war he went through. Katase is surprised that Japan from Henry's world haven't been invaded by Britannian which is doesn't exist. Euphemia have heard the story that Holy Britannian Empire was once to be British Empire that have being defeated by France, however, Henry's history shows that America Revolution defeated British Empire and gained independence with a help of France, therefore, the British Empire won't become Holy Britannian Empire in the first place and France didn't attack Great Britain because they waste their money to help Americans to gained independence. It also that sakuradite doesn't exist in his world and American was the first to come Japan from isolation. Tohdoh was shocked when he learns his world have been fighting in WW2 where Empire of Japan is part of Axis Powers as they conquer every Asia country and brutalized towards both foreign citizens and enemies, which he is not happy of how they become like Holy Britannian Empire, but much worse. Nagisa learns that America drop the atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end the WW2, she cannot imagine why Empire of Japan is a villian in the story and become like Holy Britannian Empire. Asahina learns about Cold War where capitalism and communism are against each other causing some countries split into halves to control it until it was ended in 1991, and new life begin. He also interesting about tiberium came in his world causing to spread in worldwide. Urabe was not happy about multinational terrorist group called Brotherhood of Nod who wanted to make new human evolution. In reality, it will kill every human in the existence so he see how Henry fought in tiberium wars in few years. Senba is shocked they have fighting against alien race called Scrin who attempted to spread tiberium continuously and wipe out human race, but they were defeated by GDI. They have seen every history that Henry shows them feels questioning about their thoughts.

Henry: If there's any questions, then you may asked.

Katase: I'm... lost my words when you show us how different your world it is.

Henry: We have fought a lot to survive from tiberium, The Brotherhood, and The Scrin. The GDI will always be prevailed to fight back until the end. It's good thing I have Japaneses who are working with me during my mission.

Euphemia: You said your mission is to find and colonize world to establish new home and gather more resources. Are you gonna colonize our world afterwards?

Henry: The GDI doesn't control this world. Yet, seeing you people being suffered by a regime, I won't be ignore it. Which is why I'm declaring war on Holy Britannian Empire.

Urabe: Um, quick question, sir. How will you know the people where they come from since we are different people living our world?

Henry: We just called your species as Alter-Humans. Since this is alternate timeline of your world, we just called you anyway. To all of you, you will called us Tiberium humans or Tiber-Humans. Now, let's discuss it, shall we? Gen. Katase, I will provide you so much resources since my harvesters already gather so much sakuradites and my engineers will built more burais for your military once we retake back Japan.

Katase: I am graciously thank you for thag, Supreme Commander Jefferson. I also thank you for saving us in Narita, if it weren't for you, we will be dead by now.

Henry: You should thanks to LT. Strongarm. She's the one who lead the forces in Narita.

Senba: I have a question, sir. You still following your original mission before you come to this world, right?

Henry: Is that so? Yes, my mission still stands. Although, we're not going to annex one of te country and become a colonized nation instead we can just create one.

Euphemia: Create one?

Henry: Yes. EVA, show them the picture.

EVA: Yes, sir.

The holographic screen turns on and show them the picture of colonial floating island.

Everyone is amazed of GDI is going to build a floating city.

Henry: Yeah. Beautiful, isn't it? Our own floating nation. With enough materials and resources, we can able to build it.

Urabe: Oh my god, that is one beautiful floating city I've ever seen.

Asahina: I am gonna visit that city soon.

Henry: It will be a new nation for tiber-humans to live in. It also for alter-humans as well. It will be known as Colonial Global State of Earth. And once it is over, we will create another city that can float more than a sky.

He move to the next picture of the floating city at outside the earth atmosphere.

Euphemia: Space? You're planning to build a space city at our earth atmosphere.

Henry: In the future, yes. But right now, we have a war to win. Every country we liberate it will be join force once we start to liberate Japan. When it happens, the whole world will know our existence and I need more allies to work together against Holy Britannian Empire.

Katase: Every country you liberate it?

Henry: Oh, I forgot that part. We secretly liberate New Zealand, The Philippines, and Area 18 which is now becoming Middle Eastern Federation now. We also captured Midway as our base near of Hawaii.

Everyone is dumbfounded of how GDI manage to liberate the Areas and capture one of britannian base.

Henry: We allowed to recruit Alter-Humans to be part of GDI Alter-Foreign Legion. Unlike the Britannian Empire, they will be treated as fellow humans and no discrimination. Whenever you come from, it doesn't matter anyway as long as you serve the GDI.

Katase: Impressive. And I guess that Commonwealth of Australia is also part of it.

Henry: That's right. You need more recruits in your group so you can have a military power once your country is liberated. LT.Col Tohdoh, you and your squad will have brand new knightmare models better than your old one.

Urabe: Nice! Maybe I have my knightmare upgraded with better fighting skills and stuff.

Nagisa: Excuse me, Mr. Jefferson. But may I ask, why you brought Princess Euphemia here for? You know she belongs to Holy Britannian Empire so she is your enemy.

Henry: I have reason for it. Princess Euphemia, you wondering of why I brought you here?

Euphemia: Not since your men captured me and everyone else I've known.

Henry: Well... the reason is you will change Britannia for good.

Euphemia: What?

Katase: What do you mean change Britannia for good. Can you explain?

Henry: For what I've know the report from my agents in Japan, you are the only member of imperial britannian family shows sympathy towards people who were being suffered and oppressed by your father's empire so I was thinking that you shall lead new Britannia.

Euphemia: You want me to set a throne to control my country.

Henry: I was thinking to change the government to democracy.

The door opens as Jack Allen enters the room filled with everyone in it then he said.

Jack: Or maybe you can change it to constitutional monarchy like my country was.

Henry: Everyone, I want you to meet Capt. Jack Allen. He's a British which is related to British Empire before becoming United Kingdom or Britain.

Jack: Pleasure to meet you all. And you too, Princess Euphemia.

Euphemia: The pleasure is mine, Capt. Allen.

Henry: So what is it anyway?

Jack: I've got contact from GDI Narita base that a messenger from Kyoto wants you to meet them.

Henry: Kyoto?

Katase: Kyoto is organization of elite Japanese industrialists that has collaboration with Britannian for sakuradite mine. In reality, they use their funding to make knightmares and give it to the resistance.

Euphemia: The NAC?

Tohdoh: It seems like your actions brought them to attention.

Nagisa: If they work for you, you will have a lot of materials, resources, and supplies for your army. They will also support in your campaign.

Henry: Hmm... That's seem a good idea. I will allow to go there. But first, I have to say something to Euphemia.

Euphemia: You still talking about changing my country for good?

Henry: Yes. Negotiation is out of the question as long as your father ruled, he won't stepped down so easily. So we will remove his power and you will take it. As for now, you will be working on humanitarian job.

Euphemia: Humanitarian job? Are you saying...

Henry: You will join us to change the world for good. But only for every conditions.

Euphemia: And what's that?

Henry: Break off the empire, apologized for the world that your country did, and pay a lot of money for everything your father done to them. Also, I would like to put him and those who follows him into the trial if they willing to surrender.

Euphemia: Wait, I have to pay money for the damage the Holy Britannian Empire done. Why?

Jack: It's called War Reparation, your highness. If you lose the war, you must pay the money to good changing hands, but not to the annexation of land.

Euphemia: That's it?

Henry: Yes. So, what's your decision, your highness?

She thinking her decision whether it's good idea or not to join GDI side to change a better world. Seeing how Japaneses were treated discriminated by her own people, it's time for her to change now so she stand up and said to him.

Euphemia: Supreme Commander Jefferson, I, Euphemia li Britannia, will gladly join your side only to change a better world.

Henry smiled as he stands up and shake their hands.

Asahina: I guess she working with us now. How impressive way to make britannian sympathizer to be an ally.

Jack: You know they say, " The enemy of my enemy is my friend".

...

Henry, Katase, Tohdoh, and Goro Azuma are in V-35 ox as they headed to Kyoto. The landed on nearby area where they won't be seen from the enemy. Four of them found a car nearby and ride in it as they headed to the mountain. When they reach there, they were escorted to the room where Kirihara is waiting them. They got in the room as they see him behind the curtain that they cannot see his face. Henry and the others bow down to him as show of respect of their culture. Henry said to him.

Henry: You must be Taizō Kirihara, correct?

Kirihara: Yes, you must be a leader of your group that fought in Narita.

Henry: Yes, sir. I see you've heard from us, right?

Kirihara: Yes. What you did back there affect the Japan. With Cornelia and Euphemia taken away, the new ones come to oppress those who dare to uprising against them.

Henry: I feel you, Kirihara. You wanted your country to be free from Britannia, so you have to collaborate with them in order to get more funding in your industry. In reality, you used those fundings to give away everything to the resistance to keep fighting going.

Kirihara was impressed of his words, even he's not Japaneses, he show that he is a good decision to bring them here.

Kirihara: You have my impression, even your not Japanese.

Henry: I understand you have hatred towards britannia that have stripped your nation and your people identity. So I'm preparing an offer you cannot refuse.

Kirihara: Hm? And what's that?

Katase: You see, he is a supreme commander he has an army that has advanced military arsenal you have never seen before.

Goro: And the only reason I'm still alive because of GDI save my siblings from Shinjuku.

Kirihara: Is that so? And that's your organization name?

Henry: Correct. It's Global Defense Initiative for acronym. I've come here to join us to take back your country. I have a lot of army at my main territory and the other countries who are part of my alliance will join us as well. With your support, we may have chance to win it.

Kirihara: Hmm... Your offer seems intriguing. I would happy to join you. However, we must wait for Zero to come here.

Tohdoh: Zero? You mean...

Kirihara: He's coming here right away and I can feel that he's already here.

The door opens to see Zero, Kallen, Ohgi, and Tamaki have arrived in time. Then, they finally meet Henry and the others.

Ohgi: Huh? Who are these people?

Kallen: I think they're from the group that fought in Narita.

Ohgi: And those two are from JLF. But I don't know who is the last guy there.

Tamaki went to the window shocking to know where they are. The others followed him as they see why he is shocked.

Ohgi: This is... The Fuji mines?

Tamaki: That is not possible. There's no way we could be here.

Kallen: It has to be Mt.Fuji! There is only one mountain like this.

Tamaki: That means the Sakuradite is right below us? The damn treasure that caused this whole war. You know, what they do to intruders here? Execute them!

Henry: Wait? Execute the intruders?

Tohdoh: Those who aren't part of this group will be executed without reasoning to the head of Kyoto house.

Ohgi: The power of which is all the way up to here? Kyoto group is amazing.

Kirihara: It's repulsive. Mount Fuji, a sacred mountain once known for its clear water and quiet beauty.Now it is bent to the empire's will, a place of hideous violation. Our reflection of what Japan has become.
It pains me so. I apologize for not showing my face.But, Zero, your face is hidden as well.Unfortunately, I cannot allow this.
To trust you, I must know who you are.
Therefore you will show me your face.

Two large doors open as four burais came and pointing at the Black Knights.

Goro: What's going on?

Henry: I don't know. But it ain't good.

Goro: Shall we?

Henry: No. Let them handle this one.

Goro: But-

Tohdoh: If you're superior says no, then you must do what you had to be told.

Goro close his mouth and let the Black Knights handle it. Kallen went to protect Zero as she tries to reasoning of him.

Kallen: Please wait! Zero has given us power and victory. That should be...

Kirihara: Silence! Now which of you is Ohgi?

Ohgi: Huh! That's me.

Kirihara: You will remove Zero's mask.

Ohgi went at Zero and look at him going to remove his mask.

Kallen: Ohgi!

Ohgi: I'm sorry Zero, but we need a reason to put our faith in you, too. So help us to put our trust in you.

Ohgi removes Zero mask and he is shocked as it was C.C dressing up as Zero.

Tamaki: Huh?! A woman!

Ohgi: It can't be!

Kallen: It's not! This isn't Zero. I saw her before. She was with Zero after Narita.

Kirihara: You there, girl, is this true?

C.C.: It is.

Kirihara: So you are not Japanese?

C.C: Correct, clan chief of Kyoto, Taizo Kirihara.

Two of his bodyguards reacted by knowing his name and they are going to kill them.

Japanese bodyguard: Anyone who can identify him must die, especially the one who is not Japanese.

Four burais are aiming the weapons at them ready to kill.

Tamaki: Hey, hold on! I'm not part of this!

Goro: Sir!

Henry: Wait. That doesn't feels right.

Katase: What do you mean?

Henry: For I know, Zero is a boy, not a girl.

Tohdoh: Then that means...

Suddenly, one of burais fires off slash harkens at the weapons from other burais then he use a blade to knock down a weapon from a burai beside him. He went closer to Kirihara and his bodyguards as he pointing a gun at them.

Zero: You are soft and your methods and thinking are out dated. That is why you'll never win!

Henry: I'll be damned.

Goro: No way. How?

Kallen: Zero?

Japanese bodyguard 1: Where did you...?

He pointing a gun at him when another man stopped him and said.

Japanese bodyguard 2: Hold on! He can fire at us with that remote. Everyone, stay back! Don't make a move!

Zero went down from a burai and walk towards him. Tohdoh was going to intervene but Katase stopped him. Zero said to him.

Zero: Taizo Kirihara, founder of Kirihara Industry which has monopoly on Sakuradite mine, formerly a key backer of the Kururugi regime. However, when Japan fell, you dodged the tribunals by collaborating with the colonial rulers. Commonly known as Kirihara the traitor. In reality, you are one of the leaders of the Six Houses Of Kyoto, who support resistance groups throughout Japan, a double agent.How cliche.

Japanese bodyguard 1: You show some respect, you swine!

Kirihara: Stop!

Zero: *small chuckle* It's as you guessed though, I am not Japanese.

The Black Knights, especially Henry and the others are surprised of his words.

Tamaki: Is he serious? No wonder he never showed his face.

Kirihara: If you are not Japanese, why do you fight for Japan? What is it that you want?

Lelouch: The destruction of Britannia.

Kirihara: And so, do you believe that this is possible, that you can do it?

Lelouch: I can, because I must. I have reasons which compel me execrably. I'm glad I'm dealing with you.

He pulled out the mask to show him his face. Kirihara is shocked to recognize that face before. It was none other than Lelouch himself.

Kirihara: You...

Lelouch: It's been a long time, Lord Kirihara.

Kirihara: Is it really you? It's eight years since I finally received you as a hostage.

Lelouch: Yes. And I appreciate you taking care of me then.

Kirihara: If I hadn't come tonight, were you planning to take our messengers as hostages?

Lelouch: Not at all. I came to ask for your help. That's all I'm seeking from you.

He begin to smiled that he needed his help to rebel against Britannia.

Kirihara: So the flower planted eight years ago has finally bloomed.

Then, he laughed. Goro, Katase, and Tohdoh are confused like he knows him before. Unknown to Henry, he wears a computer gauntlet on his left as the drone was at the other side to see his face. No one have attention to him as they focus on Zero and Kirihara.

Tamaki: I can't see him!

He went to get closer to see Zero face but he was blocked by Kallen.

Kirihara: Ohgi!

Ohgi: Yes?

Kirihara: This man is a true model enemy of Britannia. His face must remain hidden for vital reasons. I urge you to follow Zero. And I guarantee that if you do, we will assist you generously with intelligence and strategic support. Not only that, but we will also help these new group that fought in Narita to save Gen. Katase lives so you will help them as well.

Tamaki: Wait! We're teaming up with them?

He pointing at Henry and the others.

Ohgi: We thank you.

Lelouch: I am grateful, Lord Kirihara.

Kirihara: Are you embarking on the path of blood?

Lelouch: Indeed, if that is my destiny.

He wear a mask back and leave the room. Before he can do that, he wen to Henry and the others to face-to-face. Henry turns off his gauntlet and meet Zero personally.

Zero: You must be the leader that your men fought in Narita.

Henry: Yes. I am Supreme Commander Henry Jefferson. Seeing that you wanted to free the Japanese from Britannian, I have no doubt we have common enemy.

Zero: And what did you do to Princess Cornelia and Euphemia.

Henry: Cornelia is in POW prison and Euphemia has joining my side to change the world better.

Zero: Is that so? And how will you achieve it?

Henry: Sorry, but I cannot share the information with you. Only my group known as GDI knows the goal in this world.

Zero: And yet, we will become allies.

Henry: It depends on your methods, Zero. We may be allies, but I have to be cautious about you. I have doubts about your plan to free Japan.

Zero: Then, we are done talking. It was nice to meet you in person, supreme commander. Now I must be off. Good luck for your... work.

He turn around as he and his others went out of MT. Fuji. Afterwards, he went to Kirihara and said.

Henry: We will meet again, Kirihara. I hope our cooperation still stands today.

Kirihara: And you too, supreme commander.

He bows down to him and then they went out of MT. Fuji.

...

Lelouch walking through the park to find Shirley around here. He thinks his thoughts about meeting with organization leader and seeing his expression like that is telling that he don't trust him.

Lelouch (thoughts): So, his organization was called GDI. Was it an acronym? Anyway, I have to find Shirley before I can start my next plan to strike.

He found Shirley as she is waiting for him to arrive. She saw him arrived and she is excited to taking him to the concert so she said.

Shirley: There you are! Where were you?

Lelouch: Sorry. I have a lot of things. You know me.

Shirley: Hmph! So , um, are you ready to go?

Lelouch: Sure.

They went together to the concert to listen the orchestra music.

...

Somewhere in the city, a white-haired man named Mao is walking in the alley.

As he keep walking on the alley, he stopped as he sense someone is coming at the behind. He smiled as he said.

Mao: Oh my, oh my, trying to come right from behind, Karen C. Romero. Or should I call you, Lady Death?

He turns around to see Lady Death is at the behind. She placed two laser pistols just in case if he is going to shoot her.

Lady Death: Hmm... And how you know me?

Mao: Oh, there's something you don't know about me. And I see you brought two men too.

Two Heretic soldiers armed with assault rifles blocking his path. Lady Death order them to stand down as she approached him.

Lady Death: I would like to offer you, Mao, isn't it?

Mao: How do you know?

Lady Death: Probably because you come here from a plane and you have a passport which we can identify you. Anyway, there's something that you cannot refuse.

Mao make sadistic smiled as Lady Death wanted him for something.

Lady Death: what is it you want first? We will help you if you corporate me.

Mao: Really? Fine, in that case, I will help you, only if you help me first.

Lady Death: Sounds a fair deal. Now, tell me what you need and you will tell me anything you know.

...

Henry is sitting on the desk as he watched on the screen that was caught from his drone. He finally identify the identity of Zero.

Henry: I'm wondering why you become Zero in the first place. There is a reason you create the Black Knights for your own purpose. You want Cornelia for answers, don't you. I hope what you're doing would change the fate of this world. I will find out what secret are you hiding...... Lelouch vi Britannia.
