Fukushima
Under the territory control of Japan Revolutionary Front

After learning of Major General Katase was captured by the UDA in the battle of Narita, most of the JLF members went themselves to Fukushima where they gather themselves to reorganize the organization when it became clear that the mission of liberation is no more since the news of Euphemia claim to be the ally of the UDA and became a new leader of the Japan, which is outrageous for them and they won't going to serve not only to a hated Britannian princess, but also to the UDA as it is seen as another foreigner claiming their homeland as their own land. Fueled in anger at seeing their people deceived to collaborate with them, they renamed the organization called the Japan Revolutionary Front. Their goal is to free Japan by using everything to drive away those invaders off their land while the UDA and Principality of Japan are distracted from taking down Japanese terrorist nationalists and Britannian loyalists.

Firstly, they went to the prison to rescue Katase and the other captured members by infiltration, but they were caught by UMAC and that plan failed. It was shocking that they had planned for them to be captured on the spot. They became paranoid that there are spies among them who sell their comrades to the enemy, but they have no idea that it's because of Dominion Spectre using psionic ability to read minds to identify them, which result in them being captured.

Secondly, they went on attacking the reconstructed ghetto, seeing people collaborating with the UDA and Euphemia's Principality, condemning them as traitors and punishing them in violent means. But they were thwarted by the UDA, Principality, and then shockingly, the Black Knights fighting alongside them.

With their missions failing and feeling that they are coming after them, they establish heavy defenses in every place within the territory to defend themselves from incoming enemy forces. In their last effort to continue the fight, they recruit Japanese who are joining their cause to free their land from UDA and Japan puppet government. Some were the remnants of the Japanese nationalist terrorists who were getting defeated by the UDA.

Their leader, Kira Suketane, took a mantle of leadership as a new general to lead what is left of the JLF, who are becoming military revolutionaries to bring down the foreigners, including UDA, seeing as alien imperialist to their eyes. He walked in the command center as his loyal members saluted him for his arrival then he got contact on the big monitor screen revealing to be the four members of the Kyoto House. These wealthy industrialists aren't fond of aliens and outworlders coming here that interrupts their mission to liberate Japan on their own to restore the old government. And because the UDA selected Princess Euphemia, a rebel Britannian princess as a ruler of Japan, their people, the Japanese, just blindly accept her as a new legitimate leader despite the fact that she is a Britannian, the same enemy they fought against. And worse of all, Taizo just can't do anything to oppose them and decide to side with the UDA and Princess Euphemia, which is seen as a betrayal of liberating Japan to return to old glory days. So they decided to put the fund on the remaining JLF that had been reorganized into a revolutionary front. But now, it has become a disaster for them as things according to the plan did not go very well, and now, the UDA has cornered them.

One of the Kyoto members, Hiroyosi Yoshino, spoke to him with an unpleasant expression.

Hiroyosi Yoshino: General Kira Suketane, what is happening? Why are you getting cornered by the UDA and its allies!

Kira Suketane: Don't you shout at me, Hiroyosi! Everything you and your group provided us with much resources, weapons, and knightmares to combat those enemies. But everything we did was to be crushed and cornered into this region. And now, they have surrounded us. I use every man and resource to fight them until our last breath.

Hidenobu: And your death would inspire a thousand Japanese people rally behind you? You attack the ghettos that are reconstructed to build new homes only to be reduced into ashes. And what did I hear about firing at Japanese civilians? You're attacking our own people!

Kira Suketane: They become traitors when they decide to join a side with them that has an enemy Britannian princess with them! They must be punished.

Tousai Munakata: It seems like you don't understand. Your actions would result in our own people resenting you and your revolutionary group. And because of that, more and more Japanese continue to support the UDA and the new Principality of Japan governed by her.

Hiroyosi Yoshino: *sigh* Anyway, we just received a message from a Japanese chief cabinet secretary, Atsushi Sawazaki, that he provided a submarine that would be at the shipyard right where you are.

Kira Suketane: Escape? You wanted me to escape cowardly after everything I did to continue fighting back to take back our nation, and you want me to leave my homeland? Never!

He shouted angrily.

Hidenobu: Stop with your pride, general! It is the best course of action in order to keep the JRF alive to find the next strategy for counterattack with a large number.

Hiroyosi Yoshino: Moreover, he got a Chinese General by his side and he got support from Chinese forces. With combining forces, we could use it to launch an attack by taking over a small region then we will convince the people to remember what Japan fought for our ancestors through blood and sweat to bring unity to our great nation so we can have rally support to join our cause against the UDA and their Euphemia's puppet government. That will be a great plan. That kind of opportunity won't be wasted if you refuse it, would you?

Kira Suketane opened his mouth to retort, but that caught him in his mind about the Kyoto House plan. Although he hated to admit it, they were right about fighting a losing battle. What remains of his army are dwindling and they are no match against so many enemies surrounding his land. He loves Japan, but he doesn't like to see foreigners, or outworlder aliens, come to this land and take it away from their traditional ways. He had seen how the previous Japan government was in a weak position when it dissolved the empire for losing the war, transforming into a constitutional democratic monarchy state. And because of that, the Holy Britannian Empire invaded his land and turned it into their colonial area state. And now, those outworlder aliens are taking it away once again. It really angers him so much, but despite of that, he knew there's no possible way to win this battle so he had no choice but to leave Japan and travel to the Chinese Federation so he can meet former Japanese Chief secretary and rally other proud patriotic Japanese soldiers to take back Japan from UDA when they return with a stronger and powerful force.

After thinking for a second, he replies to them on the screen.

Kira Suketane: As much as it pains me to do so, I have to agree with you. I'll take my important officers for experience. If what you said is true, then perhaps we could boost our numbers to increase the manpower to take on anyone who stands in the way of liberating our home. We'll become a true Liberator of Japan to push away those foreign barbarians to reclaim what had been taken from us.

He said.

Hiroyosi Yoshino: That's good to hear. Now while you are leaving, we will be-

Suddenly, the system just cut off, disabling the communication on the screen between them. He and the others felt the shaking of this place while something just performed a bombing run on this location.

Kira Suketane: What the hell is going on out there?!

JRF Officer: Sir! It's the enemy. They are engaging us and every enemy unit surrounding us is prepared to assault all at once.

Kira Suketane: What! That's too soon! Are the enemies wanting us to wipe out so badly!

...

The UMAC and Euphemia loyalist forces are engaging the ground enemy forces. The UGSE Manticore siege walkers and Thunderhead mobile artillery tanks, Dominion Odins and Thors siege walkers and Siege tanks in artillery modes, GDI Juggernaut walkers, and ASO wraith tanks and ASO Wraith tanks and mechalekgolos equipped plasma cannons commence artillery bombardment on every area in the enemy territory. The JRF forces that were in their positions were blown up into obliteration. The UMAC have destroyed every JRF force to decrease their numbers. The JRF have only half of the forces to hold on against the enemy.

After the artillery bombardment, they start to commence the next phase. All ground forces moved in all at once to defeat the Japanese Revolutionary Front once and for all to put an end to this threat. The JRF comes out from hiding and spotted a lot of incoming enemy mecha fighters coming this way.

JRF pilot 1: Sir! They're... so many of them! They already surround us!

JRF pilot 2: Don't show fear! You are Japanese, and Japanese are the descendants of the samurai warriors in decades. We'll destroy them just like we destroy our enemies from the old!

This increases their morale as knightmare forces move forward using any kind of weapon to engage the Coalition forces. The JRF burai squad wielding bazookas aiming at enemy forces and open fires. The Coalition mech units dodge the bazooka rockets and open fire back at them, destroying enemy burai knightmares. A Dominion terran demolisher destroys a burai before an enemy could even react then he fires at another burai knightmare to blow up. The JRF have tanks as support units to knightmare units, but then, the two UGSE Caucus mech robots shoot them down using energy guns.

As for infantry, the JRF are using any conventional weapons they have to fight off the enemy ground force. They even use old WW1 Arisaka bolt-action rifles with bayonets. When they see Coalition ground forces moving forward, an officer steps up drawing out of his katana blade and points toward them.

JRF Officer: Charge! For the Japanese Revolutionary Front!

Everyone let out a war cry as they stepped up and charged towards them. The GDI rifleman squads using both assault rifles and laser guns open fires at the JRF soldiers. A team of UGSE heavy troopers carrying miniguns mow down on every JRF soldier attempting bayonet charge. A JRF APC comes in to support an infantry group when a UGSE railgun trooper destroys it in a huge explosion, killing nearby JRF soldiers. The Daelaam zealots slice down on JRF soldiers to attempt stabbing them with the bayonets only to be ineffective as Protoss has energy shields and they are no match against alien warriors. Most of the vehicles on the JRF side are destroyed as JRF soldiers become very scared and run away on the battlefield. The Coalition have scorched in the area to get rid of all JRF combatants that are desperate to fight back only to end up failure and they are no match for them. The small numbers of Dominion devastator gunships fly through the sky starting bombardment upon the JRF forces on the ground, destroying the fields, especially the buildings where they are hiding to ambush them only to be blown up from the sky. The Coalition forces have made through the city as the burais appear and try to take them out. Dominion Myrmidons and Einherjars, and GDI Retaliators destroy them with their advanced weapons that can take them down easily. The remnants of the JRF are scared of their devastated might of the UMAC and attempt to run away from the battle, ignoring officers telling them to push forward.

Meanwhile, The Black Knights, who insist on joining their side, are able to defeat the remaining JRF knightmares and ground vehicles at ease. They were led by Ohgi who is considered to be a de facto leader for a time being until Zero returns for his own reason. He doesn't know why they need him for something important, but he has to leave to him as he seems to be negotiating with people well before, but he is uneasy about what's going to happen to Zero. Tamaki finished off the last enemy knightmares and went back beside him to reload the gun.

Tamaki: Alright, these guys are out. Man, do you believe what we were doing right now?

Ohgi: Yeah... Once the Japanese Liberation Front was about taking the fight against Britannia to liberate Japan and its people. And now, they turn into a revolutionary front to fight back the ones who want to liberate Japan, and they aren't keen to see someone who took that idea.

Tamaki: Well, they intervene and capture those former JLF members back at Narita. Not to mention they are also responsible for Lake Kawaguchi for attempting a hostile hostage on civilians and killing one Britannian which justify themselves to see them as terrorists to their eyes.

Ohgi: Since when did you start talking differently? That's not you.

He raised his eyes.

Tamaki: Heh. Probably I just accept what's going around here and deal with it. After all, now Japan is finally free and those guys from space come and tell the world to shut up and have peace, they concentrate on rebuilding things.

Ohgi: Is it okay for you? You know... a Britannian princess having control of Japan?

Tamaki: Well, it's kinda complicated and controversial. But once that emperor dipshit is removed from the throne, she'll go back to her land and rule there while we, as Japanese, have our proper national government with a constitution whatsoever. I just don't know why they can go there and beat that bastard?

He said. The others piloting in knightmares went up to them after they finished taking out stragglers.

Yoshida: Hey Ohgi, we manage to remove the stragglers and have some of them surrendered and turn them into the UMAC.

Ohgi: Good. Just as long as we end this fight, the sooner we rebuild Japan to a better state.

Sugiyama: Hey, while we're at it, I wonder where's Zero and Kallen anyway? They've been gone for a long while and they are going to miss this fight.

Ohgi: Zero is having important things with the UMAC members for his own reason. And for Kallen, she volunteers to go with him, but she wishes us good luck to end the fight.

He said.

Minami: Although both UDA and rebel princess focus on helping us, what about the Britannian people? You know it's no longer Area 11 and they are stuck in hostile foreign land.

Tamaki: The UDA will take care of those guys. So long as they won't cause any trouble, they will be fine for themselves.

Yoshida: I hope so. Even the Britannian military group of Area 11 is wiped out, there are others who resent the new rule and they are going to start a fight one way or another.

Ohgi: Which is why the Black Knights has been entrusted to be an elite paramilitary force to ensure we protect the people from any threats and act as a check-and-balance on Princess Euphemia rule.

Yoshida: Would it make us work for the UDA?

Ohgi: We're given full autonomy by our independent group. Once Zero returns, we'll tell him about the details the UDA gave us.

Tamaki: Hmm... I wonder what Zero and Kallen are doing there? They sure gonna miss this.

...

Kira Suketane is walking in the long tunnel somewhere in the underground. He walks angrily, step by step, seeing that everything he had built this organization has failed. His chance of liberating his homeland for themselves are gone. Their old government is gone. Everything the JLF have tried to work for is gone. It's all UDA's fault. They took everything from him and everyone else to prove that they can liberate Japan by themselves and not some foreigners pulling their strings. And because of the UDA, they have lost their chance for Japanese liberation. Now his only chance is to escape through the tunnel that leads to his vehicle that takes him to the harbor so he can ride on a Chinese submarine and takes him to the Chinese Federation to side with Atsushi Sawazaki to boost their numbers and go back with full force.

He keeps walking in the tunnel until all the lights are suddenly turned off. He and his important officers and soldiers were shocked by what was happening.

Kira Suketane: Gah! I can't see!

JRF Officer: Quick! Turn on the flashlight.

The soldiers were about to grab their flashlights when somebody came out from the shadow, activate the green psi blades and scythes, and strike down upon them. Hearing the sound of slashing the soldiers, He and his officers quickly pull out their nambu pistols and start shooting everywhere. When the lights turn on, they shockling to see Daelaam dark protoss who killed their soldiers and they are surrounded. He and the others feel frightened to see these aliens for their first time and they are standing there, pointing their weapons toward them. One of them speaks out telepathically.

Daelaam Dark Templar: Surrender, Kira Suketane. It's over. Lay down your arms and you will be treated as POWs.

Kira angrily refuses to surrender due to his pride of honor, but to his horror, his officers drop their weapons and raise their hands for surrender.

Kira Suketane: Cowards.

He sneered at his cowardly officers before looking back at the aliens.

Kira Suketane: You alien bastards! I'd rather die than be your prisoner in disgrace! Now get out of my way!

Daelaam Dark Templar: You have no position in demand.

Kira Suketane: Shut up! I'll cut you down!

He drops his pistol and draws out his katana to go strike at him. But unfortunately, he did not predict that a dark templar would move fast to the left side and cut off his hand where it held a katana blade. Kira landed on the ground, screaming in pain of losing his hand. He holds on to it as he screams once more. The officers were terrified of this, and they made a good decision for surrender. A dark templar approaches him with his psi blade remaining turning on. He glares down at him in disappointment.

Daelaam Dark Templar: Your pride and arrogance have blinded you, human. Be thankful that we aren't here to finish you off. Your revolutionary front is no more.

Hearing the words coming from an alien, Kira Suketane is clenching his teeth stubbornly and he feels angry towards UDA for taking everything away from him.

And so, the Japanese Revolutionary Front has come to an end.

...

The Kyoto House members who secretly aligned themselves to JRF just descended from the elevator platform and went outside to head to their car when suddenly a group of soldiers belonging to Euphemia pointed the guns at them.

Hiroyosi Yoshino: Wha- What is the meaning of this!?

FRL soldier: Members of Kyoto House, you are placed under arrest for collaborating and distributing weapons and arsenals with the Japanese Revolutionary Front along with other nationalistic terrorist groups in different regions.

Hidenobu Kubouin: What! That's completely nonsense! Where is your evidence to have rightfully accused us!

???: I already have.

A figure who comes forward reveals to be Taizo Kirihara along with Kaguya Sumeragi beside him, showing a simple smile towards them.

Tousai Munakata: Taizo! What's the meaning of this!?

Taizo: You already know why. You are placed under arrest for collaborating with the JRF and other nationalist terrorist groups. As for evidence, we already received from our allied AI who hacked your network system unnoticed and informed us that you were secretly a plot against Crowned Princess Euphemia and her allies. You've made a terrible mistake of turning swords against the mighty ones.

Hidenobu Kubouin: Mighty ones! We just kicked those Britannians out of our lands to reclaim ourselves, and now, these outworlders come and take over again. Since when you sided with them!

He shouted.

Taizo: Unlike you, I know that we can't fight in a war where their military might is far more absolute than other superpower countries, even the Holy Britannian Empire is no match for them. And unlike them, they do not treat our people discriminately and instead give them food, water, and shelter all they need. That is, until those who refuse to cooperate with them have destroyed the progress of reconstruction, leading to more devastating casualties among our people. Which is why I'm siding with the UDA, knowing how powerful they really are, seeing they possess something that no humans has ever possessed.

Kaguya: Which is very bad for all of you. The Japanese people are looking for a nice place for them to live in, thanks to UDA and Princess Euphemia reconstruction program, and then you guys decide to destroy that progress. My, my, you really are stupid to make that kind of action.

Tatsunori Osakabe: Watch your tone, Sumeragi! You don't speak to adults like that!

Kaguya: Actually, I have a right to speak up about you and your members' recklessness. But with JRF having capitulated, they are no longer the threat anymore.

Hidenobu Kubouin: You what!

They are completely shocked and horrified that the JRF just lost, meaning their leader has been defeated.

Kaguya: With them out of the way, we could finally repair everything in Japan with UDA and Princess Euphemia helping us. You, on other hands, won't be able to stop us from reconstructing our country.

She said, The JRL soldiers apprehended the Kyoto House members, despite their struggling to release, and they were taken away into custody.

Kaguya: Looks like we take care of them. Sadly, the Kyoto House has to be disbanded due to their actions.

An old man slightly nodded.

Taizo: It seems so, unfortunately. Now, we have to accept the reality that we do need their help to rebuild our lands under Princess Euphemia for the time being until she returns to her homeland after removing an emperor.

Kaguya: I wonder how long he will remain silent until he decides to do something foolish to stand up against UDA.

Taizo: That we don't know. But what we do is an ambitious man like the emperor won't be likely to take it away from him, and he'll do anything to take it back by force.

...

Principality of Japan Prison (Former Britannian Prison)

After Lelouch conducted some experiment testing of his Geass powers by UDA scientists, he was released and he and Kallen went to the former Britannian prison, now belonging to the Principality of Japan, to visit Cornelia to get some answers.

He was being escorted by two UGSE soldiers and two Sangheili honor guards through the hallway of holding cells on both sides. There are UMAC soldiers from different factions guarding their posts beside the holding cells. They see prisoners who were Britannian loyalists, JLF members, JRF members, and other Japanese nationalists wearing white straitjacket prison outfits. They gave them death glare for putting them here. Zero and the others ignore their glares and continue walking through the hallway. Among the holding cells is none other than Suzaku Kururugi wearing the same outfit as other prisoners, hearing footsteps to see Zero and surprisingly, Kallen is walking through the hallway so he stands up and yells at them.

Suzaku: Zero! What are you doing here?!

Zero ignores him and continues walking past him.

Suzaku: Kallen! You're part of this too?

Kallen looks at him before she turns her head around and follows Zero. Suzaku kept shouting at them until he was told to be shut up by a UGSE soldier.

They've made it to the room where it is supposed to be a private holding cell for VIP prisoners for any purpose. They enter the room to see Cornelia wearing a white straitjacket prison outfit. She is tied up against the wall so she won't go walking around freely inside her holding cell. She looks up in deadly glares at Zero to see him again in person.

Cornelia: Zero...

She stares at him with hateful eyes.

UGSE soldier: You have 10 minutes.

Zero nodded and a soldier closed the door to give them privacy. Zero and Cornelia look at each other's faces until she says to him first.

Cornelia: So... Zero. Have you come to gloat?

Zero: Maybe. But not entirely. It would be my success if it weren't for UDA intervention.

Cornelia: I've heard. The ones I'm facing were none other than aliens or outworlders as they call them. Possess such technology that no one, not even Britannia have possessed. Now this world has been held at gunpoint by these so-called United Dimensional Alliance.

Kallen: Yeah. To stop everyone from fighting for once in their lives. So many lives died because of you.

Cornelia turns her head around from her, scoffing it.

Cornelia: Did Euphemia send you here to tell me of my execution date?

Zero: No. I got her permission to come here to see you.

Cornelia: To see me? Why would you wanna see me? And even if you did, I have nothing to say to you.

Zero: Oh, you will. After all... You and Schneizel were involved on that day when my mother died.

He said. Cornelia widened her eyes and looked up to mention her and her brother about that day where his mother died. Although she doesn't know what he is talking about, it sounds kinda familiar.

Cornelia: What are you talking about?

Zero: Sounds familiar? I guess you deserve to know my face. Your enemy's true identity.

Cornelia gasped to witness Zero to unmask himself to reveal his true identity.

Kallen: Wait. Are you sure?

He nodded to her. He removes his mask and wraps around his hair and looks down on her with a smirk.

Lelouch: Hello, Cornelia. It's finally time to see each other again.

Cornelia is completely shocked that the enemy she is going after, and an enemy she is going to kill is none other than her own brother who himself masked himself as a terrorist leader of the Black Knights. Her eyes shakened so violently that she couldn't comprehend this revelation.

Cornelia: No... It can't be! Lelouch and Nunnally died on-

Lelouch: Lies. You've been listening to lies that the news told you which is orchestrated by none other than that bastard man himself. My sister and I are alive and well.

Cornelia: Then Nunnally...

Lelouch: She's safe with me, but I am not allowing you to see her.

He said,

Cornelia: Why... Why did you do it? Why turn against Britannia. Is it because you have a grudge against Britannia? The Emperor?

Lelouch: You mean where my mother got killed and my so-called father didn't bother to open an investigation of her murder! You know, Clovis told me that you and Schneizel were involved in my mother's death and I feel like you are part of it.

Cornelia: Clovis... So that means... You killed him, didn't you?

He remained silent then she shouted at him.

Cornelia: Lelouch! You killed Clovis! Your own brother! Why!

Kallen: Why?

She looked at a red haired japanese girl fiercely looking at her for a question so she stepped in.

Kallen: Because of people like you oppressing my people for so long after you took away our identities and called us Elevens! Your brother developed a chemical bomb that shouldn't be used after WW1 and we tried to get away with it so he sent the entire army to kill my people living in Shinjuku ghetto, especially the children and elderly. The children you just murdered!

She angrily shouted.

Lelouch: Kallen! Step back.

She calms down and steps back as she is being ordered.

Lelouch: Clovis is no longer what he used to be when I saw what he became, and so I killed him. But this isn't about that now. This is about you and Schneizel involved in my mother's murder.

Cornelia: You're talking like I am part of the scheme. Lelouch, I idolize your mother so much because of her knightmare skills. Why would I want to kill my idol!

Lelouch: That's how I want to figure it out. Now...

He brought up his Geass power coming from his eye as he spoke to her.

Lelouch: You will tell me what you know and who killed my mother.

His geass symbol flew right out from his eye and went directly to Cornelia's eyes. She is now under his command and she replied truthfully.

Cornelia (under geass control): Go on.

Lelouch: Sister, are you the one who killed my mother?

Cornelia (under geass control): I'm not.

Lelouch: Then who was it?

Cornelia (under geass control): I don't know.

He is shocked by her words that she doesn't know who is the culprit so he tells her.

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

Cornelia (under geass control): Yes.

Lelouch: Then why did you withdraw her escort?

Cornelia (under geass control): Because I was asked to.

Lelouch: By whom?

Cornelia (under geass control): Lady Marianne.

This made it more shocking to Lelouch that it was her mother who ordered Cornelia to withdraw her escort on that day before the attack took place.

Kallen: What! Why would she be ordered to withdraw her escort?

Lelouch: My mother did. But that's impossible! Are you saying mother knew she would be attacked that day! No, if she did know what is going to happen, she would have gotten us out of here!

He put his foot in front of her as he asked her again.

Lelouch: What happened on that day? Who killed my mother?

Cornelia tries to speak, but she has nothing to say and goes silent.

Lelouch: You don't know? Then who knows the truth? I know you've investigated what happened that day yourself!

Cornelia (under geass control): His Majesty the Emperor ordered Schneizel to transport the body out of here.

Kallen: What!

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

As he speaks any further, the door opens to see a UGSE soldier come into the room.

UGSE soldier: Your 10 minutes is up. It's time to go.

Lelouch is going to tell him to give him a few more minutes but Kallen places her hand on his shoulder.

Kallen: Zero. It's time to go.

Lelouch stares at her before he calms down and puts on his mask, releasing Cornelia from his geass control.

Zero: Looks like my time is up. I hope you'll be comfortable here for a long while until then. This is the last time we ever met Cornelia. Goodbye.

He said, walking out of the room with Kallen follows him behind.

Cornelia: Wait, stop! Lelouch! Come back... Come back here! LELOUCH!

She shouted as she let out all of her lungs to reach her voice before a soldier closed the door tightly.

Timeskip

Lelouch and Kallen are onboard an SA-2 Samson chopper flying away from prison. They were sitting on chairs with seatbelt on. Lelouch removed his mask and brought his fist down when he failed to figure out more details from Cornelia.

Lelouch: Damn it! I was so close to finding out more about why he and my brother transported my mother's corpse, and the coffin we buried that day was just empty inside!

Kallen: I don't know much of what happened back then. But, what I have gathered from your sister, your mother just order to withdraw her escorts which resulted in her getting killed.

Lelouch: Maybe. But I still do not understand why she would do that? Because of her decision, the assassins killed her and Nunnally was shocked and her legs crippled on that day. That emperor along with my brother, Schneizel, just covered it up. Just what the hell is going on?

He said angrily.

Kallen: Look, it is not my business to know what's happening to your family personally. But whatever happens abc then, it's something to do with the emperor hiding something so secrecy that no one would find out.

Lelouch: Is that so? Hmm... Just what is exactly my father planning for?

...

C's World

In a balcony, Charles zi Britannia stood, staring at the light covered in thick clouds. Then, a light blond long-haired young boy wearing a black, high-collared cloak with a purple underside, a white tunic with gold and blue cuffs, a black belt, a black cravat, white pants with gold and blue bottoms, and black shoes approached. He also wore black and gold clips on his hair to keep it away from his face. His name is V.V., leader of Geass Directorate and an older twin brother, but his appearance is young due to his immortality from a geass ability.

He walked up beside him with a neutral expression, saying to his brother.

V.V.: So... I see that everything is not what it seems according to the plan.

Charles zi Britannia: You already saw the news, brother. Those outworlders, claimed by my so-called daughter, just arrived in our world with those ships descending from above, holding everyone in the world at gunpoint.

V.V.: You're afraid of them?

Charles zi Britannia: No. But it's only a matter of time before they could find the ruins that contain the entrance to C's World as well as secrets of geass. They would hinder our process of Ragnarok connection.

V.V.: Is that so? What are we going to do about them?

Charles zi Britannia: For now, Schneizel wanted me to send him to Area 11 for a diplomatic mission, believing to free those people and return home, along with prisoners held by outworlders.

V.V.: Hm, perhaps I should send Pluton to take care of those aliens to get off this world and reclaim Area 11 so we can continue finding the geass ruins somewhere there.

Charles zi Britannia: Plutons? Is that where you sent your personal assassin to kill Oiagros Zevon, believing he planned to leave the organization?

He said.

V.V.: He was going to leave, and it would be no good if he tried to speak about Pluton activities to someone else. So yeah, it is a necessary choice to make.

Charles zi Britannia: Hmph. You may do whatever you wish, brother. But if it fails, it will be your fault, not mine.

His older brother simply smiled.

V.V.: Oh, I will not fail. I'm sure we can do as much damage as possible to hinder their progress. Now if you excuse me...

He turns around and leaves the area intended for another matter. Charles continued staring at the brightening light.

Charles zi Britannia: Whatever it is, the Ragnarok is still in plan. Soon, we will use the Thought Elevator to destroy the gods and unite all humans as one being, and destroy those outworlders for the good of our world, to never live in lies again.

Principality of Japan Prison (Former Britannian Prison)

Interrogation room

Suzaku: Euphy... Please tell me it isn't true...

A young Japanese man said to a princess, trying to beg her that everything she said is not true. Euphemia looks up at him with a sad expression and replies to him in a sympathetic tone.

Euphemia: Everything I said is true, Kururugi. I've seen what Britannia has become, and I am too naive to blind to see what it really is.

Suzaku: But-

Euphemia: So I believe in UDA as they will help me to rebuild this world and put an end to this war that my own father has started.

Suzaku: Euphy, I understand what you are trying to do. But, those outworlders you've allied with, they just intervene to stop everyone from trying to end the war by doing it themselves. It's our world; we should be able to figure out how to bring peace to end this pointless war by ourselves, not them. Also, they've been involved in recent events that have hidden themselves from the rest of the world until now. Euphemia, just what are they trying to achieve by having those ships pointing guns to everyone's heads to follow their demands?

He said,

Euphemia: They say it's an extreme procedure to make everyone stop the wars against each other in order to try to recover everything in the scorch of the battlefield. Civilians were caught in the crossfire, and they were shot to death by soldiers that they weren't fighting back at the beginning. It's their only course of action to prevent more shred of innocent lives and attempt to do recovery for people to find somewhere else safe under their protection. Please try to understand, Suzaku...

Suzaku tries to understand what she is saying to her, but he suppresses himself by not admitting to this situation. He even refuses to believe the UDA deeds that are necessary when they come to this world that has no concern for them to intervene and are willing to use the force of violence to get whatever they want to achieve in their own personal goals. They remained silent for a minute until she sighed, admitting in defeat that he wouldn't do some convincing to see the reason to switch sides.

Euphemia: It seems I'm unable to convince you to see what must be done just to have you join me by my side to reconstruct a new, better future for our world. I was hoping you could understand that. If you wish to change Britannia from within, then you should go to Britannia in pursuit of your idealistic goal, but never return to this land again. We will never see each other like we used to be, but rather be as adversaries.

This was very shocking to Suzaku that she would never say something like that to his face. This saddened him even more as he can feel his heart so aching from her words. He felt so betrayed by everything he did for her to have similar goals together when they were first met, and now, it has become a distant memory.

Euphemia: Until the negotiation of the diplomacy is held, you along with other Britannian prisoners will be released and sent back to Britannia homeland as UDA intended to do as a good faith.

She stands up from her seat and looks at him.

Euphemia: And Suzaku, I am sorry for the sense of betrayal you ever felt when I should've told you from the beginning. I hope one day, we could see each other, but not in these circumstances.

The guards came in and took Suzaku back to his cell without saying a single word to her. After he returned to his cell, Euphemia started to cry, trying to hold back in tears, but she was unable to do so. Her knees dropped on the floor and covered her face to hide it while whimpering about feeling guilty for betraying Suzaku's heart. She hopes that one day she will forgive him when they see each other again.
