Chapter 7

Ashford Academy

Principle Room

Milly: I understand how much you want to reestablish the Ashford family. But mother, it's just that...

Ms. Ashford (telephone): No buts, woman. I make it clear that arranged marriage will bring our nobility back to regain our family honor.

Milly: But mother--

Ms. Ashford (telephone): Arranged marriage must be made, daughter. I have already found a perfect person who has nobility and he is pureblooded Britannian. If you try to refuse then maybe you can convince the exiled prince and princess to turn themselves in to the authority.

Milly's eyes become widened and then she turns angry at her mother on the telephone.

Milly: Don't you dare try to turn them into authorities! Do you know what they have been through since they came here for exile and their father just sent an invasion force to conquer Japan and almost killed their own children! That is something I will not allow to happen!

Ms. Ashford (telephone): Young lady, don't you dare raise your voice to your mot-

Milly: No! I won't allow it! Lelouch and Nunnally are like brother and sister to me so if you tried I swear you will regret it!

She said as she slammed on a telephone and ended the call. She takes a deep breath after her outburst to her mother. Her grandfather, Ruben Ashford see her angry towards her mother which is surprising to see her like that.

Ruben: My dear, I know you worry about them. Although it will be long before she decides to call the authorities to know we have been hiding them so long.

Milly: I know, it just...

She deeply sighed.

Milly: I don't want to lose them, grandfather. I don't want to lose them again.

Ruben: I understand, my dear. I will do everything I can to prevent it from happening. Besides, your mother can't do anything if she doesn't have evidence to have two royal members being sheltered in this academy otherwise they might think she's crazy.

Milly: I know...

She said. Her grandfather went to hug her to calm her down.

Milly: Thank you, grandfather. I'm so glad you're the only care for them.

Ruben: Anything for Lady Marianne. It is sad they lost their mother after the assassination and their father just abandon them. I'll be honest, he is a cold-hearted bastard, especially for an emperor.

Milly: I hope this world can be changed for a better future.

...

Daniel's Dorm room

After meeting with Allos-Australian prime minister, who is now president, he kept working on the reports about establishing more bases in the Japan region such as Aomori, Akita, and Iwate. There is also an established base in the new Korean independence nation unaware of the Chinese Federation to know their unexpected independence. Though he had another situation as there is a report that Princess Cornelia now as a viceroy just leaving with her G-1 mobile base headed to Saitama ghetto. The spy from within the viceroy government bureau told him on the phone that she is planning to lure our Zero or Patriot Knight by doing the exact same thing as Clovis did to Shinjuku ghetto. It enraged him that Cornelia just forgot what her brother had just done because of his human experimentation though her title 'Goddess of Victory' seemingly her ego got to her.

Daniel: Damn Cornelia, did she not know what she was just going to do with those people living in Saitama ghetto?

He deeply tried to calm down to try not to get angry at him.

Daniel: I'm going to stop this from happening again. But first...

He goes to check on the screen where Lelouch was sleeping. He saw Lelouch is packing his things with a Britannian uniform on the ground and C.C is laying on the bed talking to him. He is listening to them on the audio.

C.C (screen): You're not falling for the enemy's provocation?

Lelouch (screen): They went to such trouble to invite me, though. Besides, there's something I'd like to ask Cornelia personally.

He said. He has a plan to win his battle and try to confront his sister to know the truth about the death of his mother.

C.C (screen): Destroying Britannia or discovering who murdered your mother, which is more important to you?

Lelouch (screen): The two are of equal importance. The royal family members are competing with each other to see who will ascend the throne and become the next ruler. Or rather, they're being forced to fight by that man.

C.C (screen): But the very thing you hate is the same thing that makes Britannia strong. The royal heir who is best fit to become the next ruler of Britannia is the last one left standing.

Lelouch (screen): Exactly. The weak ones lose and they're cast aside. Britannia is that kind of nation. That kind of world.

Daniel: For once, I have agreed with you, Lelouch.

He said to him on the screen, not knowing for Lelouch that someone is watching them.

C.C (screen): Survival of the fittest is the most basic rule of all.

Lelouch (screen): If that's true, then what happens to Nunnally? Should I simply give up on my sister because she's frail? I refuse to accept that. I'll wipe out that sort of world myself.

Daniel: That sounds like Hitler would say when he said he will wipe out every non-Aryan, including Jews in the face of the world. Wonder why I feel like he'll become a dictator in the future?

He commented. Then suddenly, C.C got up from the bed and pointed her gun at him, preventing leaving the room to go to the Saitama ghetto.

Daniel: Wow! That could take a dark turn.

C.C (screen): You can't go, Lelouch. You need to fulfill your part of our bargain, so I won't have you dying before that.

Lelouch (screen): Notice that what you're saying and what you're doing are contradictory.

C.C (screen): Oh, I won't kill you. I'm merely going to shoot you in the leg to quiet you down.

Daniel: Okay. I think I have enough. I have to be prepared before people are going to die. I'm sure Lelouch knows what he was doing. He has something to save his skin.

He said as he turned off his laptop and headed out his dorm room. He went to Milly's room to see if he asked her to join the mission. As he entered, he saw Milly sitting on the bed feeling sad, staring at the ground. He said to her.

Daniel: Hey Milly.

Milly: Hm?

Daniel: Come on, we have to go. We got a mission to do and you have to join us.

Milly: O-Oh yeah. Got it.

She said. But Daniel knows something is wrong with her so he decides to talk her out to know what's wrong.

Daniel: Hey Milly, are you alright. You don't look so happy today. Is something wrong?

Milly: No. It's fine. It's just stressful, that's all.

Daniel: Is it about being president of the student council and other fun activities?

Milly: What? No, of course not. It's not that. Look I'm fine, okay?

Daniel: But Milly, I know you're not-

Milly: I said I'm okay!

She shouted. Daniel froze from her outburst. She realized what she did to him and looked away.

Milly: I'm... sorry. I didn't mean to shout at you.

Daniel sits on the bed beside her and talks to her.

Daniel: Hey, look at me.

She turned to look at his face.

Daniel: Tell me what's wrong? What's eating on your mind?

She deeply sighs and says to him.

Milly: It's my mom. She wants me to marry a nobleman to regain the nobility of my family. But I don't want it. I want to be a normal girl, but she is too stubborn to understand it. She also tried to threaten me by telling the authority we have Lelouch and Nunnally sheltering here. I know my grandfather knows how to avoid it, but it won't be long before they find out. I don't want to lose them again, Daniel. I don't want...

She said as she let out her tears falling from her eyes. Feeling sympathy for Daniel, she grabbed her and hugged her to calm down.

Daniel: Don't worry, Milly. I make sure it won't happen to Lelouch and Nunnally, and either to be sold out to marry some noble prick. Perhaps they can live in my universe. No one should use children as tools for their gain.

She wiped her tears out.

Milly: Y-You do?

He gave her a nod.

Daniel: I promise. They will either be protected by UIA or live in my universe. In fact, you can live in my universe so you won't be used by your own mother so nobody will control your life.

Milly: I see...

She smiled at him.

Milly: I am thankful to do something for a beautiful girl like me, Daniel.

She hugs him as he returns hugging her.

Daniel: Helping my friends is what I can do. Now, how about being ready to fight against Britannia and save a day?

Milly: Yeah. Let's do it!

She said in an enjoyable mood to become Justitia for this mission. He is happy to hear it.

Daniel: Great! Just grab your case and come me at the underground, okay?

Milly: Okay.

She said as he left the room. When he leaves her room, Milly suddenly feels her heart beaten from inside the body. She placed her hand on the chest hearing her heartbeat.

Milly: My heart is... beating? Wait...

She gasped at what she was thinking.

Milly: Could it be? I'm falling in love...?

...

ULA Hokkaido base

All personnel from both ULA and NAU are preparing their weapons and equipment for the next mission. Aiwi also known as Jiyu is holding her own new phone from ULA that allows to play mobile games and watch videos and other stuff from parallel universes. She is sitting on a crate as she watches the news on her phone coming from Daniel's universe.

Reporter (phone): Today, the far-right group 'Chō teikoku shugi' also known as Ultra-Imperialism group marched in the street protesting and demanding the Japan Government to bring back imperialism and glory to restore the empire. The Japanese Government responded and denied their demands and sent the riot police to disperse the far-right group. In other news, the Project Bellator Bill has passed by the council of Association of Asian Nation Alliance and they have made Bellator models from each country...

Jiyu: Those stupid far-right group... Do they not know what the empire did to those Asian countries? I hope JLF does not have an idea to reestablish the empire after Japan regains independence and kills any Britannian civilians remaining here.

She said. Patriot Knight and Justitia have arrived and she saw them here as she gets out the crate box.

Jiyu: Daniel, Milly. Great to see you guys! You saw the news, right?

Patriot Knight: Yes. And according to a report from my spy in the viceroy government bureau, she tries to lure out Zero or Patriot Knight by doing the exact same thing as the Shinjuku ghetto.

Jiyu: Damn that Cornelia! She's probably trying to avenge her brother, even what he has done by doing human experimentation. She never learned.

Justitia: I just hate what she's planning to do to those poor people. I have met her once in my childhood and we're been good friends before Marienna's death.

Patriot Knight: She made a bad move to commit the same crime as her brother, so we're going to stop her plan. Hey Milly, I just have a present for you.

Justitia: Oh... A present for me? Oh, how wonderful, you are.

He chuckled.

Patriot Knight: It's a specialized custom knightmare. Come on, I'll show you.

They went to the garage section to see every knightmare and bellator are prepped and ready for combat. Among them is a new specialized custom red & black knightmare with super radiant energy wave left-arm.

Justitia was thrilled to have her own specialized custom knightmare.

Justitia: Is that my new Knightmare model?

Patriot Knight: Yes. This baby has special enhancements like strength, speed, and agility, and it has a radiant wave left-arm to blow up those Briton knightmares when touching it. I called it... Athena.

Justitia: Athena... She is a Greek Goddess of war, handicraft, and practical reason. That name really fits for my new Knightmare model.

Patriot Knight: Indeed.

He said as he gave her an activation key.

Patriot Knight: It is yours now. Just don't make it more scratch during the battle, okay?

She chuckled.

Justitia: I will.

Patriot Knight: Good. Let's prepare for battle, shall we?

He said as he headed to Bellator. Justitia, staring at him walking away, feels blushing until Jiyu notices it.

Jiyu: Oh... What do we have here? A Britannian rebel is feeling love with American?

Justitia: W-What?!

She suddenly blushed.

Jiyu: What? The way you see him, you have feelings on him. A man from a different universe coming to our universe to save the day from a tyrannical empire and other nations. I wonder if you...

Milly: N-N-No! This isn't what you are thinking! I swear! We just met two years ago since he enrolled in the academy.

Jiyu: Two years, huh? Well you knew him two years ago until today and you like him so much.

Milly: N-No! It's not- I just- You know what? let's just get this job done.

She said, walking to her specialized custom knightmare while trying to ignore what Jiyu just said to her.

Jiyu: Hehehe... A Britannian girl falls in love with American.

...

G-1 Mobile Base

A purple haired girl sitting on the chair named Cornelia li Britannia as she is taking the operation to lure out Zero and eliminate him. Even though her brother committed such a horrible crime, he is still the blood of the royal family, and no one wanted to humiliate the reputation of the Imperial Britannian Family.

Cornelia : Zero is a criminal with a flair for the theatrical. I've recreated the same conditions that existed in Shinjuku in order to draw him out. If he's the over-confident type, I predict he'll come here to try to kill me.

Then, one of Clovis' subordinates who are lucky to be released only to serve on her behalf just said in concern.

Clovis subordinate: Viceroy, you'd really risk your own life like this?

Cornelia: What you fail to understand is war is a struggle between pride and life. As for this so-called Patriot Knight and his ULA...

Darlton: Right. The forces outside the Saitama ghetto have kept a lookout around the area. If they spotted them, we could make an ambush to attack them and capture or eliminate Patriot Knight, ending his small terrorist group.

This makes her smile to feel so confident she can beat two birds in one stone as she planned.

Cornelia: Then it settled. We start the operation.

Darlton: Yes, viceroy.

...

Outside the G-1 mobile base

The Purist group is stationed outside the G-1 mobile base. After they failed to achieve the goal and expose Prince Clovis true color, the Purist group was humiliated and dissolved because of the event and then they blame Jeremiah for not only the chance to abolish the honorary Britannian recruited in the military, but also their reputation. They attempt to kill him only to be stopped by Suzaku Kururugi piloting the Lancelot along with Viletta and Princess Euhemia li Britannia.

Now, they will serve under Viceroy Cornelia since her reputation as Goddess of Victory they will corporate them. But still, they were mad at Jeremiah for bringing their reputations to the mud. Jeremiah just said.

Jeremiah: I don't understand. Why won't Princess Cornelia order us to attack as well?

Kewell: She won't because Orange is here. Just be thankful that you haven't been disposed of. You're to blame for this. It's due to you that our careers are over.

Jeremiah: You're wrong. Zero's the one who did it. And that Patriot Knight as well!

Kewell : That again, humph.

Villetta glared at him as she remembered something way back at Shinjuku that gave her something that was going on back then.

Villetta: Zero. Could that student be working with him?

...

Saitama Ghetto

Patriot Knight and the rest of ULA forces are teleported in the ghetto as the operation has begun. Liberator, Masayoshi, and Athena are leading the forces to see that the Britannian have already commenced the operation by attacking the ghetto.

Jiyu: Those damn bastards! They'll pay for what they've done here.

Justitia: Then we have to save many people as possible and defeat Cornelia.

She said. Liberator turned around his forces and he said.

Patriot Knight (speaker): Listen up! The Britons are yet again doing the exact same thing as Clovis did to Shinjuku. Her plan is to lure Zero or us so she can eliminate two birds in one stone. Our mission is to do exactly the same thing as Shinjuku. Get people out of this ghetto from this slaughterhouse and kick those Britons ass! Is that understood?

ULA/NAU: Sir, yes sir!

Patriot Knight (speaker): Let's go! We got people to be saved!

He shouted at the speaker. Justitia finds him so very interested in saving the people and hopes this world will ever find peace.

Justitia: Jiyu, you ready?

Jiyu: Ready as I am, Justitia.

She said. Justitia looks toward the screen with her determination.

Justitia: Then let's go save those people!

...

A Britannian soldier gunned one of Japanese people as he lay down dead, horrified to the people.

Japanese civilian 1: Oh, my God.

Japanese civilian 2: Why the hell did you do that? Even children are here. What's going on? We haven't done anything.

Britannian soldier: That's exactly why. The people of this ghetto refused to report the terrorists. You hide them, cover for them. That's treason against a suzerain state!

They are going to fire at Japanese civilians when they are being gunned down by ULA soldiers. They approached the Japanese civilians as one of them, a Japanese man said to them.

ULA soldier: Don't be afraid. We are the United Liberation Alliance.

Japanese civilian: Wait... Are you with that Patriot Knight guy?

ULA soldier: Yes. We are here to get you people out of this ghetto.

He said. He signaled to his comrade as he placed a beacon on the ground and then the portal appeared in front of them. Without the hesitation, the Japanese civilians are being escorted out of the ghetto by ULA soldiers.

Meanwhile, Senshi kicks a sutherland to the ground and stabs through it using an energy katana. A squad of Alpheid equipped Moshkalenko Energy Rifles shot down a couple of enemy sutherlands. ULA diamondback fires at a Britannian tank and is blown up. NAU marine fires rocket launchers at enemy VTOL gunships from the sky. A couple of ULA attack bikes waiting in the sutherlands for an ambush then they open fire the rockets on them, destroying the sutherlands.

...

Outside the Saitama ghetto, the ULA forces are led by Justitia. Justitia is looking at nearby sutherlands as they see them coming for them.

Justitia: Alright, let's see what his baby can do.

She said. Athena reached to Sutherland's head as she took a deep breath to try super radiant energy waves.

Justitia: I'm sorry...

She just said as she pressed a button releasing the super radiant energy wave on the Sutherland and it exploded. The Britannian pilots are terrified to see that unknown specialized knightmare.

Britannian pilot 1: It... It killed Pridea!

Britannian pilot 2: M-Monster!

Britannian pilot 3: Don't be afraid. We are Britannians! We must fight for honor and glory. All hail Britannia!

All Britannian pilots: All hail Britannia!

All sutherlands charged toward Athena. Justitia shows a smirk as she draws out an energy gun and slashes every Sutherland in one hit. Her forces engaged enemy ground forces as the Britannains were being decimated.

...

Britannian pilot (speaker): Die!

He charged towards Masayoshi to attack, but Masayoshi jumps in and cuts a Sutherland in half using a katana blade.

Jiyu: Heh, trying to go up against me? That's what he gets for challenging me.

She said. She turned around to see a couple Britannian tanks going towards her so she drew out a high power gun and destroyed those tanks. Suddenly Sutherland comes up from behind to attack, but Masayoshi turns and kicks at the face and then she finishes it off using a Bouncer Leonel1400 revolver. ULA soldiers equipped with MP-40 Pulse cannons destroy tanks, APCs, and knightmares. NAU rocket troopers equipped with rocket launchers and grenade launchers destroyed enemy ground forces from the sky.

Meanwhile, Liberator is equipped with Washington Fury blade as he slashes each enemy knightmares without showing them mercy.

...

G-1 Mobile Base

Britannian Operator 1: Enemy spotted in district G-4-7.

Britannian Operator 2: Kuznetskii team engaging. They were ambushed.

Britannian Operator 3: The enemy appears to be using Sutherlands captured from our own forces.

Clovis subordinate 1: Exactly the same as Shinjuku.

Clovis Subordinate 2: Has that ever been any sign of Zero yet?

Britannian Operator 4: All forces at outside area have been eliminated. All of them.

Clovis Subordinate 3: What! It can't be!

Clovis Subordinate 1: Is that mean...

Cornelia (thoughts): So... You have arrived so quickly, Patriot Knight.

...

Meanwhile, Lelouch is wearing Britannia soldier uniform piloting a sutherland as he keeps giving them orders on the radio to attack perfectly without making mistakes.

Lelouch: N-2, continue towards the upper-right.

A Yamato Alliance member piloted a sutherland launch slash harken on VTOL gunship from the sky.

Lelouch: R4, fire.

Yamato Alliance sutherland fired a cannon at enemy APC.

Lelouch: N-1, take the man on the left.

Yamato Alliance sutherland takes out an enemy sutherland at the left.

Lelouch: Right... P-3, take out the bridge and close down the route now.

On the other side, the bridge exploded as it wiped out a few enemy groups that stayed there.

...

G-1 Mobile Base

Britannian operator 1: Point 1-7 has fallen. Hally team, contact lost.

Cornelia : That's enough. Order all troops to fall back. Further damage and casualties serve no point.

Clovis Subordinate 1: Fall back?

Clovis Subordinate 2: With all due respect, we can still fight them

Cornelia : We can't fight them like this.

...

Masayoshi went to Liberator after he eliminated a sutherland using his sword blade.

Jiyu: Sir, it appears that Cornelia has an order to retreat.

Patriot Knight: Retreat, huh? Let's see what they have to say.

He said as he intercepted the in-coms as he was listening to the voice named Andreas Darlton.

Darlton (radio): All forces fall back behind Ghetto perimeter at once. Formation doesn't matter. Fall back behind the Ghetto perimeter at once.

Patriot Knight: Odd? For what I know, she can't just order to retreat without reason. Unless she's planning something.

Jiyu: You think it's for Zero or us?

Patriot Knight: Both are the same. She won't send soldiers toward us just to be wasted.

Jiyu: By the way, has anyone seen Zero yet?

Patriot Knight: Let me check.

He radio contact to Milly aka Justitia on the comms.

Patriot Knight: This is Patriot Knight, have you found Zero yet?

Justitia (comms): Negative. Though we have run into a Japanese resistance group. It's good that I convince them we are their ally.

Patriot Knight: Okay. I'll contact their leader.

He intercepted the radio contact as he responded to the leader of Yamato Alliance. He changed his language to Japanese as he said.

Patriot Knight: Hello? I'm talking to whoever leads the resistance group.

??? (radio): What the- Who is this?

Patriot Knight: I am Patriot Knight, I am a leader of ULA. Now identify yourself.

Mitsuyo (radio): P-Patriot Knight! Um, I'm Mitsuyo Fujiki, I am the leader of the Yamato Alliance. It is-

Patriot Knight: Look, I know you're happy to meet me, but this isn't a right time. We have saved your people out of the ghetto and you guys should leave too.

Mitsuyo (radio): Um, sorry sir. But we were under orders from Zero. He said he will help us to win against Viceroy Cornelia.

Daniel (thoughts): Zero... I see you're here, Lelouch. But what are you really planning to achieve? Unless you're using them as pawns for your own gain.

Patriot Knight: Mitsuyo, I would respect you for following Zero's order to win the battle. But you and your group have to leave. We will take care of this. My men will escort you and your people to a safe location. The people of Saitama need you.

Mitsuyo (radio): I... I suppose you're right. We will leave. Do me a favor and kick that bitch ass.

He chuckles for his statement.

Patriot Knight: Sure thing. Patriot Knight, out.

After that, Liberator and Masayoshi headed towards G-1 mobile base where Cornelia was located.

...

Outside the G-1 mobile base

All sutherlands are gathered in the area as they were ordered. They make a path for Cornelia's royal guards using a new knightmare model called gloucester as they are headed to the ghetto. The one who led the royal guard is Guilford, loyal knight to Cornelia li Britannia.

Among the sutherland is Lelouch seeing the royal guards are headed to the ghetto which gives him an opportunity to execute his plan.

Lelouch (thoughts): You're desperate, Cornelia, using your Royal Guard in such a manner.

He said, showing his confidence to believe his strategy will work. He tried radio contact with a Yamato Alliance member.

Lelouch: This is Zero. N-1 will re-engage their IFF signal. Operate as a Britannian unit.

But there's no response.

Lelouch: What? This is Zero. N-1 will re-engage their IFF signal now.

There's no response.

Lelouch: Come in. N-1, come in dammit!

Still no response. Lelouch felt shaking like the body is made of ice as nobody responded to him.

Lelouch: What the hell? Why can't they respond to me? Did they...

...

G-1 mobile base

Darlton: Two Knightmares are headed towards Sir Guilford forces. How do we proceed, viceroy?

Cornelia: Destroy them. If they are brave enough to face my subordinates, they are foolish to try.

...

Guilford and his royal guards go through the street to follow the location of two knightmares. He radio contact to the royal guards for reminder.

Guilford: Two knightmares approach us. Prepare for combat.

Britannian Royal Guard: Understood.

As they reach the location, they are suddenly being encountered by Liberator and Masayoshi surprise attack.

Guilford: What the!?

Jiyu: Got'cha!

She said as she immediately grabbed Guilford's Gloucester face and threw into the ground. The royal guards are aiming at her.

Britannian Royal Guard 1: What the hell is that knightmare?!

Britannian Royal Guard 2: Who cares! Open fire!

The royal guards open fire at her; only the bullets are bounced out by an energy shield.

Britannian Royal Guard 1: What the?!

Jiyu He... I should thank Daniel for adding the Energy Defense Shield system. Now it's my turn.

She said. Masayoshi flies to the air and draws out a high power gun as she rapidly fires at royal guards, quickly being shredded into pieces. The remaining royal guards fall back and return fire at her, but they cannot penetrate through the Energy Defense Shield system. She goes down to the ground as she draws a katana blade and cuts them in half and they are destroyed.

Guilford's Gloucester stands up and is then being pushed by Liberator. He pinned him on the wall as he's going to give him a punch, but Guilford was able to dodge it and get away.

Guilford: Damn it. Just what kind of knightmare is that?

Patriot Knight: I think he must be a leader... Show me who is that pilot.

Liberator scans on a knightmare and shows him a pilot identification.

Patriot Knight: Gilbert G.P Gilbert. Loyal Knight of Cornelia li Britannia. So I'm facing a Knight, then.

He said with a smirk under his mask. He drew a Washington Fury blade and was ready for attack.

Guilford: You are challenging me? Very well, I shall defeat you!

He said. He ready his jousting lancer and then launched an attack toward him. Liberator dodge away and stabs through right shoulder.

Guilford: Gah!

Liberator then slices off the arm then he slash at the jousting lancer cutting it in half as it falls to the ground.

Guilford: No! my weapon!

He turns around to see the royal guards have been decimated by Masayoshi.

Guilford: The royal guards... That monster just wiped out the royal guards.

H said. His voice is shaking as fear has gotten to him. His mood changed to anger towards Liberator as he said on the speaker.

Guilford (speaker): Monster! You killed Her Highness royal guards!

Patriot Knight (speaker): Monster? Says the one ordered the army to slaughter the people living in the ghetto because you think they refused to report the terrorist is in here. Your viceroy has committed crimes against humanity, something I have to do. Call yourself a knight, please a knight don't just slaughter people who aren't defending themselves from the strong such as yourself, Britannian. Your methods are cruel just like your viceroy, Cornelia.

Guilford (speaker): Silence! You do not speak to Her Highness like that. I shall avenge my comrades by defeating you.

He pulled out an assault rifle until it was being disarmed by Masayoshi, shooting it from his hand.

Patriot Knight: Heh. Typical.

He jumps over him and stabs through the abdominal and then he pulls out a cockpit and throws it to the air. He can hear a scream coming from the cockpit. Masayoshi goes beside him.

Jiyu: Wow... You are a great thrower.

Patriot Knight: Thanks. I played American football back then, and I did very good throwing the football to the ring.

Jiyu: Oh, it's American sport.

Patriot Knight: Yeah. Now time for sending the birds.

He radioed contact to HQ from Akita base.

Patriot Knight: This is Patriot Knight, send Manta bombers and target that location.

ULA operator (comms): Roger that. The birds are flying there towards the location.

He said. After that, he radioed to Justitia.

Patriot Knight: Justitia, have you got all the videos?

Justitia (comms): Yep! I got all of it.

Patriot Knight: Do it. Show the people of what she has done here.

...

G-1 Mobile Base

Cornelia and Darlthon were shocked to see Guilford was defeated and the royal guards were wiped out by two knightmares. She clenched her teeth and fists that those knightmares killed her royal guards who were with her in the war. She will make sure they are avenged by finding who they are, and kill them by her own hands. She said to Darlton.

Cornelia: Darlton. Tell me where Guilford is?

Darlton: I still see the Guilford IFF signal so it's headed right...

He was going to complete his sentence before they saw a cockpit landed outside near the mobile base.

Darlton: ...here.

He awkwardly said. Cornelia was relieved her knight is alive, but she sees that he failed to eliminate two knightmares, making her knight being humiliated in defeat. This won't allow Cornelia to let someone humiliate her knight. But then, something is coming up as a beeping sound turns on.

Cornelia: What's going on now?

Britannian operator 1: Viceroy, a dozen of fighters coming this way!

Darlton: What! Who ordered the jet fighters coming here?

Britannian operator 1: It's not ours.

Then, the whole screen turns static and then it shows Patriot Knight on the screen. Everyone in the room sees him.

Patriot Knight (screen): Hello Viceroy Cornelia.

Cornelia: You!

She immediately stood up from the chair.

Patriot Knight (screen): You seem to be coming here to lure either Zero or me by killing the Japanese civilians living in the ghetto.

Cornelia: They're Elevens! And they don't report the terrorist hideout so they hide them from the authorities which means they're violations against the suzerain state.

Patriot Knight (screen): Oh? Is that an excuse? Or it's probably part of discrimination policy made by your dear old emperor.

Darlton: You dare speak against the emperor!

Patriot Knight (screen): Yes, I am. He's responsible for turning those conquered countries into colonized Areas. He and all those follow his Social Darwinism must pay for their crimes. Speaking of it, you might wanna check the news.

He said as the screen turned back to normal.

Cornelia: What?

Britannian operator 1: Viceroy, several riots running on the street, destroying businesses related to Government bureau, and attacking the nobles.

Darlton: What! Who caused the riots?

Britannian operator 1: You might want to see this.

An operator said as he showed them on the screen to see Justitia make announcements to the people in Area 11.

Justitia (screen): People of Area 11, have you noticed why your new viceroy just went to Saitama ghetto using a G-1 mobile base and bringing an army? Well, I'm here to show you what she did to the Saitama ghetto.

She said. The screen switches to show her forces bring destruction to the ghetto and soldiers and knightmares killing everyone in the ghetto, especially the children and elders. Cornelia and Darlton are completely shocked that they recorded what they did here and sent it to the media, causing the riot to start throughout Area 11. The screen returns to her as she continues to say.

Justitia (screen): This is what your new viceroy did to those poor people in Saitama ghetto. Committed the same crime as Clovis, the Prince of Shinjuku Murderer. She did exactly the same as he did to Shinjuku. It's time for you to rise up against your government and make them pay for their crimes, especially the emperor. This is Justitia, signing out.

She just did it. Not only they failed to lure out Zero or Patriot Knight, but also gave advantage for an enemy to record to show it to the public to ignite the riot by both Japanese and Britannian commoners. Cornelia looked through the window and saw those bomber fighters coming in fast and started a bombing run so she said.

Cornelia: Order the evacuation here!

Clovis subordinate: But viceroy...

Cornelia: This operation is pointless now. We must admit that we are defeated by Patriot Knight, and not Zero. Have a Purist group escorted us out of the ghetto.

Darlton: Understood.

...

Outside the G-1 mobile base

Lelouch saw on the screen to see those knightmares leaves the mobile base and goes out of the ghetto. Among them is Cornelia being escorted by Purist group piloting the sutherland are escorted her to escape. He clenched his fists as his plan to get to her has failed because someone just come and ruin his only plan.

Lelouch: Cornelia... Leaving your own men like a coward!

Then suddenly, he hears something coming from the sky so he looks up and sees those Black Eagle bomber fighters are dropping bombs on them.

Lelouch: Oh shit! I'm gonna get out of here!

He moved his knightmare to escape as the bomber fighters started raining bombs on the group, destroying every Britannian force on the ground.

...

On the rooftop

Liberator, Masayoshi, and Athena look at the view to saw large number of explosions over that location. The Black Eagle bombers return to the base.

Jiyu: Mission complete. They are gonna be in trouble once they return to the government bureau to meet an angry riot made up of both Japanese and Britannian sympathizers.

Patriot Knight: They're gonna explain to the angry mob. But it's too late for now.

He looked at Athena.

Patriot Knight: Good work, Milly. You did a great job.

Justitia looks away with blushing under the helmet.

Justitia: It's no big deal. I did what is right for everyone's sake.

He nodded.

Patriot Knight: Let's head home. We can't stay here.

He said as three of them were being teleported away, they returned to Hokkaido base. The rest of ULA and NAU forces are teleported away as well returning to the base.

...

At the sewer

Lelouch holding a bag at the back running through the sewer tunnel to return to the Ashford academy after his failed plan.

Lelouch: Goddamn it! Who just came here and interfered with my plan.

He said. As he kept running until he stopped to see a dark figure standing there. The shadow is faded and revealed to be Zero in front him.

Lelouch: Why are you here?

He said. The voice replies.

???: I told you already. I can't have you dying.

Zero removes the helmet and turns out it was C.C. Lelouch just said.

Lelouch: I wouldn't have lost if the conditions were equal. Not to mention they just left the battle.

C.C: You sore loser. If you're really that good, you should be able to set up conditions the way you want. By the way, while you were trying to reach Cornelia for your own plan, I happened to watch to see those unknown groups just saving those people and defeating the Britannians.

Lelouch: What? Who could've...

Then, his eyes widened to know who it was.

Lelouch: It's Patriot Knight, isn't it?

C.C: I would have thought you figured it out. But yes, it is him. Also, he did pretty damage by sending the video to the media causing everyone to ignite the riots all around Area 11.

Lelouch: So he has prepared it. I wonder who is that person under the mask and who are two ladies beside him? The accomplices?

C.C: I don't know. Still, you should have set up conditions if you really want to win.

Lelouch: That's what I'll do then, I'll set them up.

C.C: Hm?

Lelouch: I'll raise an army that can't lose to Britannia. A people, a nation!

...

Principle room, Ashford Academy

Ruben Ashford is watching on his laptop to see damage on the streets since a woman named Justitia, member of Patriot Knight faction, shows a horrible scene where Viceroy Cornelia just ordered the exact same crime as Clovis did to Shinjuku. He worries about those people that might get caught up in the mess.

Ruben: Oh bless those souls. I hope they're safe.

Then, the door opens to see Daniel Thompson, Milly Ashford, and Aiwi Arakaki wearing casual clothes just coming into the room.

Ruben: Ah, Daniel Thompson, Milly, and... um, who is she?

Daniel: This is Aiwi Arakaki, Principle Ashford. Aiwi, lock the door.

She nodded as she locked the door and then joined the others.

Ruben: What is this?

Milly: Grandfather, Daniel wants to talk with you. It's really important.

Ruben: Hmm... Important, huh? My boy, what is it you want to talk to me?

Daniel: Principle Ashford, I'm gonna tell you that you won't believe what I just said.

Daniel told him everything about him appearing in former nation of Japan two years ago by using a dimensional device for explore. He told him about Parallelos universe and different history from this Allos universe. He told him about the United Liberation Alliance created by Daniel himself from two years ago. After he telling him everything, Ruben was so surprised to hear what he just said to him.

Ruben: So a young man coming from a different universe where Roman Empire has defeated Britannia, Sakuradite doesn't exist, the Washington Revolution was a success and gained independence from British Empire, and everything else... Hahaha, you my boy have something special in you. Not to mention you create a revolutionary organization to get all people from both superpower nations and other countries and areas to a safe haven, and engage against the Holy Britannian Empire.

Daniel: I'm glad you understand it, Principal Ashford.

He looked at his granddaughter's to know who she was.

Ruben: I'll take it you have joined the ULA and become known as Justitia. Why, Milly? Why fight against the empire?

Milly: Because we cannot be truly free as long as the emperor continues the world domination and my mother still use me as her tool to gain our nobility that I really don't want it. Racial tension and discrimination, I have enough seen people being treated on dirt. With Daniel's group on our side, we can change our universe for better future. We can stop this prolong war and gain peace in the world. That is why I'm fighting for.

Ruben: I see... I wish to stop you 'cause I really don't want you to get killed. But you've become a grown woman so I have to let the children go to make their own destiny.

She smiled at her grandfather.

Milly: Thank you for understanding.

Daniel: Anyway, I would like to propose that you join the ULA to build more knightmares and Bellators to continue to fight for freedom and justice against the tyrannical empire and end this war once and for all.

Ruben: Intriguing. You need my resources and supplies for your campaign, I'm happy to give it for your organization.

Aiwi: Don't forget, the UNSA is already here and they have liberated evert Area in southern Asia.

Ruben: So they did, huh? Excellent news. Your organization and other world futuristic governments did great work. With this, they will come to bring the war in our world. We can do anything to achieve to build a brighter future.

Daniel: Indeed. I also know two exile royal family members sheltered here so they are under ULA protection. And if anything happens to them and you, we can transfer you and the exiled royal members to my universe for be safe from Britannia.

Ruben nodded.

Ruben: Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Those two have been through their lives ever since the emperor declared war on Japan. Lelouch doesn't forgive and forget what his father did to him, especially calling Nunnally a weak being.

Daniel: Speaking of Lelouch, there's something that is something interesting.

Milly: Huh? What do you mean?

Daniel: That he is involved with Zero.

Aiwi: What!

They are shocked to hear from him.

Daniel: That's right. In fact, I think Zero is in this academy.

Ruben: If it's true, then who is it? There are many students enroll here and it would be foolish if one of them becomes a masked figure who goes up rebelled against their own nation.

Daniel: Then I would like to tell you people know his identity.

He said. He told them that Zero is none other than Lelouch Lamperouge also known as his true name Lelouch vi Britannia. They become more shocked to hear Zero's true identity.

Milly: So Lelouch is Zero this whole time?

Aiwi: No way. An exiled prince is planning to rebel against his own father.

Daniel: Indeed. But I am very suspicious due to having a high IQ and being a good strategist. But he has an ego that we never know. Until now, nobody in this room knew about our secret conversation. Is that understood?

Everyone nodded.

Daniel: Good. Mr. Ruben Ashford, welcome to United Liberation Alliance.

He said as they both shook their hands for Ruben joining the revolutionary organization. Daniel and Aiwi leave the room as he takes her back to the underground city. Milly stares at him leaving the room with a beautiful smile until Ruben notices her.

Ruben: Ah, I see my granddaughter is falling in love with an American.

Milly: W-What!? Don't say that! I-I...

Ruben: Oh Milly, please try not to deny it. I know when you are looking directly at him. You can feel your heartbeat inside of you, right. That means you have feelings for him.

Milly: I-- I don't know. What if he does not have feelings for me?

Ruben: Milly, when the woman saw a man, the woman's heart started to be beaten hard which is a signal of love.

Milly: Love...

She muttered.

Ruben: That boy has very potential to change everything in our world for better without suffer of war, discrimination, and racial tension. If that boy is the right person, then you must always be by his side and protect him with all your life. If he has feelings for you, try to hang out with each other, have fun, and maybe start a new life whether you want to live on either universes. For advice, be who you are, and show him what you are made of.

He said for advised. Milly nodded at her grandfather and left the room. She walked through the hallway as she could hear her heart beat inside the body as she started to feel blushing. She get rid of her blushing and just said in determination

Milly: I'll make sure to protect him at any cost. Together, we will change the world for everyone's sake. This is what Nunnally wanted. For her sake.
