Chapter 16

At Heretic Weisswolf headquarter, the place has turned into a large base. They activated the walls to prevent anyone to get in. But they let one wall out for the entrance. At outside the headquarter, Heretic emissary establishing the area as few structures are built quickly. They build defense structures around the place. They constructed an army for full invasion on both United Republic of Europia and Euro-Britannia, including the GDI presence in Russia.

Inside the headquarter, Commander Wraith was walking in the hallway as he see his soldiers are patrolling. He headed to the hangar as he see his knightmare is getting upgraded to saving it for his enemy soon then a scientist goes to him and said.

Heretic scientist: Sir! I didn't know you are coming.

Wraith: What do you know about upgrading my knightmare.

Heretic scientist: R-Right. Ahem, we added jet thrusters at the back to fly in the air. I also like you to know that we replace the old one and constructed new weapons for you, sir.

Wrath: Show me.

Heretic scientist get a tablet and showing him new weapons for his knightmare.

Laser shotgun

Magnum pistol

Sword

Wrath: Interesting. But why the sword?

Heretic scientist: When I see that you from the video, you were capable of handling a spear but I know that the enemy might break off your attack fron each sides so I recommend that a sword is useful and consider to be secondary weapon for a sword fight.

Wrath: Hmm... Probably you're right. What about the nuclear missile at the silo. Has it replaced it already?

Heretic scientist: Yes. Although I wonder what the EU have created this so-called Apollo Chariot. It says that it carrys knightmares to the atmosphere and deploy from the sky.

Wrath: They should've used as nuclear missile instead of rocket knightmare deployment. But they failed to invent a superweapon. I'll be at the command center.

Heretic scientist: Yes sir.

He head to the elevator and went up to the higher level. He reached to the command center as Heretic personnel are working on control panels when they saw him arrived and put up a salute at him then went back to work. He goes to a control panel to contact his leader on the big screen as he said.

Wrath: Commander Wraith, reporting to duty.

Elder (on screen): Commander, how's the new headquarter base?

Wrath: Full number of men as we speak. We are ready to crush both sides and eradicate any survivors for our cause.

Elder (on screen): Sounds loyalty, commander. I didn't expected from a former GDI commander who ordered to massacre the villagers in Africa.

Wrath: They are too cowered to fight back causing the lost of the most of my men. I did what I have to do and it is already done.

Elder (on screen): Don't worry, you will have the blood of the innocent in the right moment. Now, what about the survivors? Did you eradicate all of them.

Wrath: Yes. But except that some have managed to escape.

Elder (on screen): Hmm... It looks like they'll get help from GDI to stand in our goal. Be ready when that time comes soon.

Wrath: I understand, grandmaster. I won't fail you.

Elder (on screen): I know, you will. Have faith to the Heretic of Nod, and me.

The screen turns off and Wrath is prepare his army to unleash to the entire europe. He'll just have to wait for his call soon.

...

Euphemia and Jack was walking through the corridor as they feel worry about Suzaku metal health. When he return, he was a different person and he has full mental health problem. Jack asking him to go to the medical bay but he refused and went to his room. So he decided to bring Euphemia to help him. They reach to his room as Euphemia is standing near the door.

Jack: I'll be here outside.

Euphemia: Thank you.

She enters the room to see Suzaku was lying on the bed curled up as he is feel a bit shaking like it's cold in the room. Euphemia feel concerns about him so she decided to talk to him. She went beside him as she said.

Euphemia: Suzaku?

Suzaku stopped shaking as he heard her voice then he replied.

Suzaku: Oh. It's you, your highness. No need to worry about me. I'm just fine.

Euphemia: There is no such thing as fine. I can tell your expression. It don't look good for you. What happened?

Suzaku: I... I don't wanna to talk about it. Please, I'm really fine.

Euphemia: Suzaku, look at me.

He didn't respond so she said him again.

Euphemia: Suzaku Kururugi, look at me at once.

She said seriously. He stand up and look at her eyes.

Euphemia: Please, tell me what happened back there?

Suzaku just silence for a while until he said to her.

Suzaku: Your high-

Euphemia: Call me Euphemia for now.

Suzaku: Right, Euphemia. I was helping Lelouch to save Nunnally from that psychopath.

Euphemia: What! Nunnally was being kidnapped! In the school.

Suzaku: Yes. But there's no need to worry because, well, I...

Euphemia: But what?

Suzaku: Let's just say that he and I went to find him only to be dead at outside. I don't know who killed him but that's it.

Euphemia: I see... But it doesn't explain about a behavior of yours. You have lack of energy to handle it.

Suzaku: I... Can you promise to keep a secret?

Euphemia nodded him.

Suzaku: When I was about to arrest him, he figured it out.

Euphemia: About what?

Suzaku: About my father.

Euphemia just shocked of that man have known about his father's death then he continuously said.

Suzaku: He knows that I killed my own father to prevent from people being slaughtered by britannian invasion forces. And what he said is true, I killed him with my own hands.

Euphemia can't believe he killed his own father because of do-or-die resistance during the invasion of Japan.

Suzaku: I have my father's blood on my hands and I need to be punished. That's why, that's why I go straight ahead to save people. But reality, it was my punishment to become a father's murderer and I will accept my fate for the things I have done.

He said. Then, he feel his face being slapped to make his sense straight. He look back to see Euphemia is the one slapping his face. He knew that she will hate him forever but she said.

Euphemia: No. You're not just accepting to be punished because of what you did from few years ago. I will not accept it.

Suzaku: But Euphemia...

Euphemia: No! Listen to me, you are a good man. You're the only one that I can talking someone who isn't see me as a princess. Besides, you're not the only one who knows the pain that I have.

Suzaku: Huh?

Euphemia: My siblings, the nobles, they are not the kindest people I've known. I was being in the shadow of them because of their status and they sometimes being jealous at me because of how nice girl I am. The only people I loved is Lelouch, Nunnally, Cornelia, and even Schneizel. They are the only ones I like them so much in my heart.

Suzaku: But Euphemia, it has nothing to do-

Euphemia: I know. What I mean is, you and I have same lives we have in rough time in our time. But we can move on and walk into a better future.

Suzaku: Do you think I have a better future?

She give him a smile on her face.

Euphemia: Of course. Anyone deserves a better life than this. Once the world is peace, we can be together with Lelouch and Nunnally. There will be no more war.

Suzaku started to smile as his normal self has come back because of her. He glad he meet someone who is kind and loving person who happens to be a princess and a friend.

Suzaku: I- Thank you, Euphemia. To show me a way to give me a second chance to live.

Euphemia: I'm thankful for that. And I thank you to open up my thoughts that clouded my mind for years I have been shadow.

Suzaku: You're welcome.

They started to feel something on their minds as they leaning each other when it was interrupted by Jack Allen coming in the room.

Jack: Um... Do I miss something?

They break it off each other for a moment and they said.

Suzaku: Nope. We're fine.

Euphemia: Yeah. Nothing special, hehehe...

Jack (thoughts): Well, they're acting like children but I don't blame them.

Jack: Okay then. I see you're fine now, Suzaku. The supreme commander need to call you to conference room for a meeting. And that goes to you, your highness.

Euphemia: Oh! You're right. Suzaku, come on.

Suzaku: O-Oh, okay.

They clean themselves up and headed out of the room and went to GDI conference room.

...

Area 11 Bureau Conference room

Everyone in the room have a meeting about unknown terrorist that occupy Narita city. Prince Schneizel was part of the meeting. Viceroy Calares would like to say to everyone.

Calares: It seems much worse than the last time. These insolent fools would dare occupy one of the city which is owned by me, the britannian!

Schneizel: Maybe we should review of the report they send us.

Alicia: Allow me, your highness. For the report about Britannian forces engaging the terrorist group in Narita seem to be failure. They tried everything they can used to defeat them during their battlefield. But it ultimately failed few times. They have some kind of military power that can outmatched our forces.

Britannian nobleman: This ain't good at all. At this rate, the Elevens will rise up soon.

Calares: Ha! Do they think these terrorist group is better than Black Knights and they going to save them? I'm afraid not. Once we have larger forces to crush them down and take back Narita, they will bow down to us and they won't be uprising against my authority.

Schneizel: I don't think so, viceroy. Remember, I'm a prime minister and second eldest son of Holy Britannian Empire.

Calares: Ah, yes, I'm aware of that, your highness. I don't mean to be rude.

Bartley: Your highness, what is your suggesting?

Schneizel: Hmm... Sending more forces to attack them would make it failure, even we can sent largest forces it could be a sign that Area 11 is out of control and we cannot handle this situation, thus all of the Areas will be uprising all over the world. For now, we'll stop attacking them until we come up a plan soon.

Calares: Yes, that is a good idea, your highness. We'll leave them alone and then we will strike them once they open their weakness.

He makes a smirk for his confidence to believe he and the others will supress the terrorist for good. However, they will meet something greater threat than Black Knights.

...

Wearing a disguise of Zero, Lelouch is walking through the corridor headed to GDI conference room where everyone have attended there. He recall something on his mind as he remembers of Cornelia was saying back at the cell.

Flashback

After Lelouch put a Geass on Cornelia, he asked her a question.

Lelouch: Now tell me, Cornelia, are you the one who killed my mother?

Cornelia: I'm not.

Lelouch: Then who is it?

Cornelia: I don't know.

He was shocked then he asks her again.

Lelouch: But you were put in charge of her personal guard, were you not?

Cornelia: Yes.

Lelouch: Then why did you withdraw her escort?

Cornelia: I was asked to.

Lelouch: By whom?!

Cornelia: Lady Marianne.

Now he became more shocked that she was being ordered by his own mother, Marianne vi Britannia, to withdraw her escort for some reason.

Lelouch: Mother did?! It's impossible! My mother knew she would be attacked that day?! No... that can't be... If she did, she would have gotten us out of there! What really happened back then?! Who killed her?! Who killed my mother, dammit!

Cornelia was going to replied to him but that's all she got to know about that day. Lelouch seem like she don't know as well.

Lelouch: You don't know the truth? Then who does?! Someone must know! You yourself investigated what occurred that day!

Cornelia: I remember His Majesty the Emperor ordered Schneizel to transport the body out of there.

Lelouch: The body? You mean mother's? Then what was in that coffin?

Cornelia: I... don't know.

Lelouch wanted to push her for more information but he realized she has all the answers he got from her.

Lelouch: Very well, then. I, Lelouch vi Britannia ordering you to sleep until you wake up tomorrow.

Cornelia, under his command, was fell to sleep immediately and Lelouch put his maks on and walk away of her cell.

Flashback ended

As Lelouch reached the conference room, Henry and the rest of the others have joined the meeting for today to reclaim Japan from Britannia Empire. However, it didn't surprise as Suzaku was here too. Lelouch won't believe of what he saw his best friend that once a puppet to Holy Britannian Empire have joining GDI. He doesn't have words to him so he act normally to avoid raising a suspecious from him. Ms. Emily White, prime minister of Australia Commonwealth, has also joined to help them reclaim Japan for former glory. Henry sit straight as he said to everyone.

Henry: Alright, everyone. It is time to take back what Alter-Japanese is rightfully theirs. We are ready to liberate Japan from tyrannical empire.

The Black Knights such as Tamaki, Minami, Inoue, Sugiyama, Yoshida, Urabe, and Asahina are shouted happily as the day has come to set their country free. Goro was also happy to finally to free hsi country as well.

Tohdoh: Yes. It is time to take back our country!

Jack: Well said, lad. Now, we have contact every leaders who we have liberated their countries will also joining us as well. And if they planning to attack their country, we'll provide them protection so there won't be distraction while we're in the battlefield.

Emily: I have few armed forces ready to combat. The Australia Commonwealth has joined the battle against Holy Britannian Empire.

Euphemia: But what about civilians of both Japanese and Britannian? They're might caught in the crossfire.

Viktor: Fräulein Euphemia, we shall broadcast to Area 11 so they will take shelter for their safety.

Henry: And this time, no cutting the communication and block the media. We will show ourselves to entire world that GDI has come to destroy the enemy against humanity.

Diethard: Excellent, excellent! It will be the most interesting to see how glorious military to vanquish those against you.

Henry: The GDI does not care about glory and stuff. It's about saving those who are have suffered by a dictator.

Goro: Indeed, sir. But sir, once we liberate Japan, who will take place as prime minister?

Henry: That would be him.

He pointing his finger at man known as  Kaname Ohgi as he was surprised to pick him as prime minister.

Ohgi: Huh? Me?

Katase: Him?

Henry: Yes. I see a full potential of you to take responsibility to govern Japan once we liberate it.

Ohgi: You want me to be prime minister?

Henry: Do you reject it?

Ohgi: Well, no...

Sugiyama: Well, you were our leader to be begin with.

Minami: Yeah. And you might be a right person to govern it.

Ohgi: Well, in that case, I'll accept it.

Henry: Good. Warrant Officer Kururugi, you'll joining the battle with Goro Azuma the pilot of Dark Lancelot.

Suzaku: Wait! You mean he's the one who beat me at Narita.

Goro: Yeah. Dark Lancelot was originally belongs to Britannian. Now, it belongs to me.

Kallen: Oh... I haven't know that. He's ace pilot like me.

Tamaki: Man, you were lucky to be recruited by them.

Goro: Please, I was doing my duty, that's all.

Henry: Zero, do you have plans once you and your organization head back Japan?

Zero: Yes.

Henry: Good. I send you guys some more weapons, ammunitions, and knightmares to encounter the enemy once it is begun.

Kallen: Thank you for helping us, sir. Yoou may not from here but we're glad to have a stronger ally.

Henry: It's what we are serve to protect and fight for humanity. Capt. Viktor, take your ships into the space so we can call bombardment.

Suzaku: Bombardment?

Viktor: Understood, sir.

Henry: Capt. Jack, you will board on kodiak II along with Suzaku, Llyod, and Cecile.

Euphemia: Perhaps I'll join too.

Jack: Your highness, are you sure?

She determined to join the battle so she nodded.

Henry: Okay then. You will join them but only to have two bodyguards to protect you.

Euphemia: I understand. But Suzaku is the one protecting me.

Suzaku: Indeed. I will protect you with all of my live.

Jack: Sounds loyalty, my boy. I could imagine if you were my men in British 34th brigade and determine to fight bravery for my country.

Henry: Alright, alright, enough about that. Gen. Katase, are your men ready?

Katase: Yes. My men are eager to die to freeing my country.

Henry: Good. Now, before we end this meeting, I must to tell you that once we liberate Japan, there will be a new one where all races, religions, and anything else won't matter of who you are. There would be equal as both people see each other as they are same like everyone else.

Zero: And what would you call it?

Ohgi: Yeah? What do you call it?

Henry: The United States of Japan.

Everyone is surprised that he'll create new Japan so there will be equality for everyone else in the world.

Minami: United States of Japan. Now that sound like democratic.

Henry: Yes, it is.

Katase: Wait, are you saying that Japan should be reorganized into something new?

Henry: Yes. It does sound like similar to my world where WW2 was exist. In this world, USA doesn't exist so this is a different timeline. I don't want to make it happen like our history, won't you?

Katase: N-No, of course not. We won't wanna to become an empire like your world history.

Goro: I agree with that.

Henry: Then it's settled. It's time to fight for freedom and peace once and for all. As for today, we will free Japan. The meeting is adjourned.

Everyone goes out the conference room when he said to Ohgi.

Henry: Ohgi, can I have a word for you?

Ohgi: Uh? Of course, sir.

Everyone except Ohgi leaves the room to prepare themselves. Ohgi and Henry are in the room as Henry said.

Henry: Now, Ohgi, I would like to now is why are hiding someone?

Ohgi: What? What are you talking about?

He said. But he know that something is going on here as he can feel his sweat strolling down from his forehead. Henry shows him the screen of a woman which he shocked to recognizes her before.

Ohgi: Chigusa!

Henry: Chigusa? Is that what you call her?

Ohgi: Well, I, yes... But what is this about?

Henry: Ohgi, I have feeling something or someone you're hiding from Black Knights and I can tell about your expression so I sent my two agents to follow you where you're walking to the place and then they report me only to find out about her you kept from your group in secret. Her real name is Villetta Nu, a member of Purist Faction, an organization that she worked for to abolishing honorary citizen system just like when they used Suzaku Kururugi as a scapegoat in the parade. Now tell me, where did you found her?

Ohgi: Well, I... I found her at the docks of Port Yokosuka. She was probably being shot.

Henry: Wait. Someone shot her? When it did that happen?

Ohgi: I don't know. Maybe from last night where we working there in the hideout.

Henry: I see... Go on.

Ohgi: I take her to someplace where no one can find her and I stop her bleeding to death. When she woke up, I ask her name but she doesn't remember it. I think she was having an amnesia.

Henry: And that's it. Hm... I wondered who attempt to end her life in that night.

Ohgi: But what are you gonna do about her? I know she's part of Britannian military service, but she has an amnesia so there's no need to-

Henry: Hey, calm down. Let me talk first.

Ohgi shut his mouth to listen what he has gonna to say to him.

Henry: Okay, I see your point. But we don't know when she restore her memory and turn against us because we are her enemy. And for that, I'll keep it a secret.

Ohgi: Wait. You will?

Henry nodded.

Henry: But we should put surveillance on her if her memory is restored to where she remembered. Also, we should get out of her before someone will harm her.

Ohgi: Y-Yeah, yeah. I guess you're right.

Henry: We should keep a secret just for both of us here in this room. Is that understood?

Ohgi: Yes sir.

Henry: Then. We are done here.

...

Lelouch was curious about new knightmare model so he asked Rakshata.

Lelouch: Rakshata, what is that?

Rakshata; Oh, that thing? That's Type-0/0A, also known as Shinkirō. Pretty impressive, huh? I helped the GDI engineer to build that model just for you.

Lelouch: For me?

Rakshata: Oh yes. It possesses an Absolute Defense System that shields from any projectiles and bullets. It's quite effective when we testing it. We added Air Glide System too to fly in the battlefield.

Lelouch: That seems amazing that GDI provides such designs of their own knightmare.

Rakshata: *chuckles* That's not all. It has full firepower to destroy enemies in few range.

Lelouch: I should give thanks to Supreme Commander Henry for that.

Rakshata: Well, of course. He's an American, and a well gentleman.
