Oval Office
6000 Light Years Away from Earth

1985 a.t.b

Secretary Jefferson rushed over to President Castillo office where he has to tell him about a shocking event that happened over at the outermost colonies of the UN space.

Jefferson: Mr. President?

Castillo: Yes Mr. Secretary?

Jefferson: turn on your hologram there have been reports on the outermost colonies.

Castillo: what is it?

Jefferson: Planet Harvest is um...

Castillo turned on the hologram to find that one of their colonies, Harvest has been turned into some hellish land. Castillo was shocked to see what he has just witnessed.

Castillo: what has happened?

Kasey: we are not sure. We are currently investigating what is going on right now.

Castillo: did anyone order evacuations on the planet?

Kasey: yes the Governor of Harvest was able to do that. The UN Forces are on their way to evacuate Harvest.

Castillo: this is some critical stuff, we can't let this go to the General Public yet. 

Present Day

President Mason Fiota was looking at the video of Planet Harvest re-watching the event that happened over 30 years ago. When they made the first contact with the Covenant. Then-Secretary of Defense Kasey entered his office to learn about the events about Area 11. Fiota turned off the video and faced him.

Fiota: how is Area 11?

Kasey: they are doing good. Hamilton Troops, the marines, the Bravo team, the JFL, and the Black Knights were successful. We were able to capture two of the royal family. Cornelia li Britannia and her little sister Euphemia li Britannia.

Fiota: wonderful, this is a great victory for us. Say don't they have an elderly brother?

Kasey: yes his name is Sapientia li Britannia but he is now named Sapientia Christensen. He owns a company called Omega Space. A mining company of the asteroid belt.

Fiota nodded

Kasey: not only that Ethan has informed us that Zero knows the identity of Bravo-1

Kasey told him about what happened between C2, Lelouch, and Ethan.

Fiota: well this was unexpected. I think it's now the time that the Black Knights know who we are.

Kasey: are you sure Mr. President?

Fiota: yes we are going to be very honest with them if they want their trust. Of course, we can't tell them everything. 

Kasey: So how can we meet them?

Fiota: I know what we can do. We'll contact the CIA, and then they will pass onto the Infinity Ship on Mars.

Kasey: Yes Mr. President

Fiota: Anyways, any info on the Covenant

Kasey: We have won the Battle of Reach, thanks to Hamilton Corp, Oneil Robotics Industries and Patriot Industries, the Guardians are just a perfect weapon to use against the Covenant. The Covenant retreated from Reach and headed over to their other strong holds.

Fiota: That is good news.

Britannian cabinet room

Darlton, and Guilford, and the rest of the members are attending the meeting to discuss the meeting that has happened from Narita. They are the focus.

Minister: The Japan Liberation Front was nearly wiped out. To make matters worse, Cornelia and Euphie are captured by the terrorist

Darlton: We need to investigate who are we facing. This unknown enemy is very dangerous and they have knightmares beyond our power.

Guilford: The Occupation Government is responsible for this.
They've done nothing about Area 11's subways and mining railways.
In the ghettoes, they falsify the registries and property deeds as the rebellion spreads unchallenged.

Minister: Ah, the subway tunnels stretch over the whole country.
We can't just fill them all in.
We don't have the budge

Guilford: The terrorists are using them as their strike bases and escape routes.

Minister: B,,, But, Prince Clovis instructed us.
Ah, he said forcing them would fuel the rebellion giving the Chinese Federation an excuse to attack.

Darlton: They've already got their excuse. Zero is growing stronger and bolder every day. Not only that I got intel that these other ones are helping them and we still don't know who they are.

Internal Affairs has appointed a special group of the Elevens to self-govern this area, isn't that right? A group who are called the NAC.

Minister: Huh?

Darlton: When we stormed Narita, we looked for the evidence of the NAC's conspiracies.
But it was buried in the landslide. Still, our suspicions remain high. If we suppress them now...

Then suddenly a door opens to see an unknown person coming through.

Minister: So you finally arrived. How was your flight

???: It was good, so you seem to have a terrorist problem. Well, I'm here for you. 

Darlton: What is your name?

Ernst: My name is Dorothea Ernst, the Knight of Four of the Knights of the Round. 

------

Unknown Location

Five old Japanese men are sitting around the fire talking seriously about Cornelia, have a bit of information about their conspiracy. One of them is Taizo Kirihara, leader of the Kyoto House.

Kirihara: So, the Britannian viceroy has gone this far already.

Man: With the Liberation Front smashed, the last embers of Japan have died away.

Man: No, he may be on the run, but Tohdoh is still strong, still fighting.

Man: Even if that so, I heard he lost his custom Burais. So, there's no hope.

Kaguya: There is hope.

Everyone turned around to a young Japanese girl behind the curtain. her name is Kaguya Sumeragi. Member of the Kyoto House and cousin of Suzaku Kururugi.

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

Kaguya: Yes, but there is another

Taizo: Who?

Kaguya: The other group with the Black Knights. From what I know about my information.

Osakabe: You sent an informant without telling us?

She sighed

Kaguya: I had to do what is right. I wanted to learn more knowledge about the Black Knights. Anyways for I what I Know, the other group calls themselves the Revolutionary Frontier. A group of militants I believe.

Kubouin: Group of militias? I don't remember having that, but a resistance group.

Kaguya: Still, we must also learn about them too. We don't know if they are on our side. The Knightmares possessed are very different from ours. Plus from the looks of it, it looks very advanced and has so many resources.

Yoshino: If that's the case, where did they come from. It's like they just came out of thin air and say hello we are the Revolutionary Frontier and we are going to help you.

Kaguya: Unknown, but they seem toe be wearing military combat uniforms and they act like they were military soldiers from a foreign country. I also heard one of them is wearing green armor and this person was able to take out Knightmares without needing a Knightmare.

In conclusion, they all agree to meet these both factions. For the Black Knights, if they know their intentions, they may give them support in order to free Japan. As for the RF, they only got little information on who they are. For sure they act like soldiers, but it's unknown they're Japanese or not.

In class, Ethan was learning about the Napoleonic Wars that occurred in the 19th century, and also the transfer to the capital. As class ended, he is walking down the hallway heading back to the dorm. It so happens that they ran to each other. Thankfully no one is in the hallway so there are only two of them

Zero: Bravo-1

Ethan: Zero

They said looking at each other eyes.

Ethan: This is awkward, we didn't expect we come to see each other here, even though we study together here.

Lelouch: I could say the same thing, but I never expected you to be part of a militia group.

Ethan: A revolutionary group who wants to put an end to this war which Britannia started it. Not to mention the other powers have the same idea by forcing every country to their submission.

Lelouch: Suppose you have a plan

Ethan: tell that to my superiors

Lelouch: Who are you superiros

Ethan: that's classified. You hide your face because not only you a Britannian but a prince who was being exiled

Lelouch: Don't remind me

Ethan: Keep it to yourself. As for now, we will wait for further orders from my superiors on what we will do next

Lelouch: I will find your secrets Oscar, I swear it

Ethan: Just let me remind you, your Geass does not work on me on my team or anyone in the Revolutionary Frontier

Ethan then walked away and headed to his dorm. Lelouch looked back at him with his glare. 

----

After leaving school, Bravo Team went to the Hokkaido Base. They entered the base, everyone was inside busying working on their weapons or their Guardians. Bravo Team went over to the shooting range to practice with simulated Knightmares. After 1 hour of practice, Captain Keyes entered the room.

Keyes: Attention!

Bravo Team and everyone else responded to his call as they line up and give a salute to him.

Keyes: At ease! The General has informed us about the next task. We are going to meet with the NAC, a.k.a the Kyoto House to get on our side. We also received word from the CIA that she met a Kyoto Messenger to give us the invitation to their hideout. It seems we're getting attention from Japan.

Ethan: Why us sir?

Keyes: Because they are interested you and your teammates in a few campaigns, even each of you get a separate mission here on Erath. Also, the President informed us that maybe it's time to tell our new allies who we.

David: Wow after a few days of capturing Cornelia, and Euphemia, we're finally going to reveal ourselves to the Black Knights and the Kyoto Group we never met

Ethan: We accept the task Captain

Keyes: I know you will son, now finish your training so you will start meeting the Kyoto House. Understood?

Bravo Team: SIR YES SIR

They shouted as Keyes left the room to do their training.

In the BK hideout, Lelouch was thinking of something that happened back at Ashford Academy.

Lelouch: Why would Shirley just out of the blue?

Flashback

Shirley: My dad works were really long away from here.
But he likes to send me great stuff like this to keep my spirits up, you know?
So, I was just wondering...

End

Ohgi interrupted him as he was holding an envelope in his hand and he said to him.

Lelouch: Hmm? What's this?

Ohgi: A love letter.

Lelouch: Oh? From you?

Tamaki: A-ha-ha-ha-ha!
And they say you have no sense of humor.
A-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Kallen: You laugh too much.

Ohgi: It's an official letter from Kyoto.
They urgently request a meeting.

Lelouch: Is this really such a big deal?

Kallen: A big deal?! It's Kyoto!

Ohgi: If they accept us it means funding and support.
It could solve our financial crisis.

Lelouch: Crisis?!

Ohgi: Ugh...!

Lelouch: There shouldn't be any problem if you are following the budget I laid out.

Ohgi: Oh, well...

Everyone stared at Tamaki who is clearly responsible for the finance budget.

Tamaki: Hey! It's not my fault!
We're turning into a big organization now!
That means new expenses, you know!

Kallen: Like French dinners for the new recruits so you can show off?

Tamaki: Hey, you?!

Kallen: I know where you've been taking them, big spender?

Tamaki: Uh-ugh?! Do you know about it?!

Lelouch: Huh... We'll put Ohgi in charge of the treasury for now.

Tamaki: Hold it right there! I'm the one that's in charge of the cash!
That's my job!

Lelouch: If you want me to trust you then show me some results.

Tamaki: Did you actually just say trust a guy who hides his face from his own partners?!

This caught everyone's attention for they also wanted to know his identity hidden underneath the mask. Lelouch also remembered Ethan's statement about his team getting suspicious, but Kallen stood up for Zero as she said to Tamaki

Kallen: Zero is not the problem here. Who cares who he is? He had the skill to outwit Cornelia, didn't he? That's why he is the leader of the Black Knights. Do you really need to know more?

Tamaki: Gee...!

Tamaki shrugged as he wanted to know his secret identity only to be turned by Kallen. Then a BK member who happens to be a CIA Agent came to the room without knocking on the door.

BK Member: Excuse me Zero, but we have a visitor? The Revolutionary Frontier is here

They are surprised they have come here to this secret location. The doors open to see Leon, and Bravo Team wearing the same outfits that they were wearing back at Narita. Zero was shocked to see they have found their secret base

Leon: Hello Zero, nice place to be hiding

Zero: YOu found out, but what is the militia group doing here?

Leon: have you received word from the Kyoto House

Zero: yes why?

He pulled out an invitation letter from insider his t-shirt and showed it to him. Causing a huge surprise among the Black Knights

Ohgi: Wait that means

David: Correct, we are going to their place as well.

Tamaki: I never knew they're watching on us

Leon: Stalkers! But anyways, Zero my superiors have assigned me to be a representative of our mission to meet the leader of the Kyoto House. But since you are part of it as well, how about we can go together?

Zero thought about it for a moment. With the Kyoto House and the by their side, they may able to fight back against the Britannians. We also going to take back Japan too 

Zero: Very well, we'll be going to meet at the Kyoto House

Everyone shows to be happy about this answer. 

--

Shirley's House

As Shirley is heading off to school, her father can't think about the time that their base has been infiltrated by an unknown group of people. Code R. He hid his research paper into the safebox and tries to calm down. Then his phone rang

Joseph: Hello?

???: Mr. Joseph Fenette. We know who you are. Not to mention you are part of the Code R group formed by Prince Clovis.

His eyes widened as the caller knows who he was working for. His heart beating hard as he tries to calm down a pressure.

Joseph: What do you want?

???: Give me every piece of information related to Code R. Or we will leak all the evidence we have in our possession to your family.

This unknown caller is now blackmailing Joseph. He was now nervous

???: It's best if you co-operate with us. If you give us the remaining information, you will never hear from us again, and we will leave your family alone. Oh, and one more thing, call the police you will be exposed by your family. To see what kind of monster you are. We will be calling back 24 hours to give us an answer.

Then the call ended. He then got a drink of wine and sat down rubbing his face. Not much of a choice but to accept the terms.

-------

The next day, Kallen, Ohgi, Tamaki, and Zero are in a foggy place. They are on the outskirts of the Getto. They are waiting until Adele, and the Bravo team arrived.

Leon: Good day to you all

Ohgi: Mr. Leon

Zero: Shall we finally meet them?

Leon: I'm ready

Then two cars emerged from the fog and stopped there. A driver opens the window and said to them.

Drive: Black Knights and Revolutionary Frontier?

They both nodded

One is for the Black Knights and One is for the RF.

He said to the rest of them. They went inside of each car and headed to the Kyoto Hideout.

FLASHBACK

Bravo team and the others are in an unknown place to meet with Leon. He then explains where to meet the Kyoto Household

Leon: We will be meeting at this precise location.  The guy who is responsible is Taizo Kirihara. Once an owner of the Kirihara Industries when Japan was independent. He was an influencer to support the government. 

Soyeon: What's the plan?

Leon: The location of Kyoto house is at Mt. Fujiwhere he and his other agents are. There might be a trick up his sleeve. For the time being let's play along.

Ethan nodded

END

Two cars driving through the tunnel until they stopped at the platform as it gose up. Once they're here, they get out of the cars and went to the room where Taizo is waiting to meet them. Tamaki ran up to the window as he and the others except for Zero, Leon, and Bravo Team shocked to know where they are

Tamaki: Wow...!

Ohgi: This is... the Fuji mines?

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

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

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

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

Soyoen: This might be amazing, in reality, the mountain is suffering because of them. It shouldn't be enslaved like this.

Kirihara: It's repulsive.Mount Fuji, a sacred mountain once known for its clear water and quiet beauty. Now it is bent to the empire's will, a place of the hideous violation. Our reflection of what Japan has become. It brings pain to me.

Leon: I'm sorry for what happened to your country. If either the EU or Chinese Federation just defended your homeland from Britannia, but again we both know one of them will take advantage.

Taizo: I thank you for your condolence Mr......

Leon: Leon Kennedy. An agent of our organization called the Revolutionary Frontier.

Taizo: Yes, My agent told me about your organization. Though we don't know the origins of your group

Leon: Let's just say after your country was fallen

Taizo nodded in understanding 

Taizo: Now let's get to business. I apologize for not showing my face.But, Zero, your face is hidden as well. Unfortunately, I cannot allow this. To trust you, I must know who you are. Therefore you will show me your face.

Soyeon: As I thought!

Kallen then went in front of Zero with her arms wideout.

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

Kirihara: Silence! Now, which of you is Ohgi?

Ohgi: Huh...! That's me.

Kirihara: You will remove Zero's mask.

Leon: Hold on, before removing the mask< I would like to add something for you

Taizo: Very well

Leon: First, you want to know what we used for our arsenal in Narita? Have your agents mention what it is?

Taizo: Uh no! Why?

Leon: Because we will show you something that no Knightmare on earth can't beat.

He smiled on his face. That is the signal where Ethan just said out loud

Ethan: NOW!

Suddenly Oracle, Galactica, Serenity, and Goliath came down from the ceiling landed on one of Kirihara's burai and it's on top of it resulting in getting crushed. Another burain tries to shoot it but Oracle pulls out a katana and slices it falling it to the ground. Then all four Guardians switched to their rifles and pointed at Taizo.

Ethan: Do you think we're dumb to fall for this

Tamaki: Hold on you knew about this?

David: We are taking pre-caution

Leon: Taizo Kirihara, A founder of Kirihara Industries which has a monopoly on Sakuradite Mine, formerly a key backer of the Kururugi regime. However, when Japan fell, you dodge the tribunals by collaborating with the Colonial rulers. Now you are labeled as Kirihara the traitor who supports resistance groups throughout Japan. 

Bodyguard 1: Anyone who identifies his name must die especially those who aren't Japanese

Leon: You think we're scared of that. We have Guardians aiming all of their weapons at both of you so I suggest you just stand down

Taizo: So you knew about me

Leon: I'm an agent. Undercover in plain sight, but also gather information to know every person on the list and one they is you, Mr. Kirihara.

Taizo: looked at the Knightmare that these RF had.

Taizo: So this Knightmare is named Guardian?

Ethan: Wrong, that's what we called our Knightmares, Guardians. my Guardian is named Oracle. Capable to giht in the battlefield and there's one thing about it. This robot is artificial intelligence with independent thought.

Taizo: Independent?

Oracle: Affirmative

Japanese 1: WHAT THE! Does it talk?

Oracle: I am an AI controlling on Guardian. to have thought on mind and fight. But it requires a pilot where a bond can be connected to make it stronger if working together.

Taizo: Impressive! So you must be their pilot

Ethan: That right, call me Bravo-1. I'm leading my own team to follow. The Guardian is considered my.......partner. In fact, there are more of these 

Taizo: oh?

Leon: Correct, but only a certain amount of people can get it. For instance, Bravo Team is a special team of people who can use these types of Knightmares responsibly. They will only listen to them. But anyway let's stay on topic.

Taizo: Which is?

Zero: Then you know who I am. I have to tell you that I'm not Japanese

Oghi, Tamaki, and Kallen are shocked to hear from their leader. 

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

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

Lelouch: The destruction of Britannia.

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

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

Kirihara: You...

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

Zero takes off his helmet revealing his face to Kirihara. 

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

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

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

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

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

Tamaki: I can't see him!

Lelouch: Actually, I wish my member that Zero can be trusted if they can see who he was behind the mask.

Taizo: Are you going to show them?

Lelouch: Yes, besides someone has told me that Keeping your identity hidden for so long, will be being to question you sooner or later. Now I get it why people follow a leader for a purpose.

He looked at Oscar smiling as Ethan looked at him. Lelouch then turned around to his team members with this shocking revelation that he isn't Japanese but Britannian. Kallen was more shocked

Kallen: Lelouch?

She was shocked to see what she has seen. her eyes widen.

Lelouch: I see that you finally get to know who I am Kallen Kozuki, or should I say Q1. 

Kallen: It was you the whole time?

Ethan: Perhaps we should reveal our faces as well, also the fact our leaders want to finally meet with the Black Knights.

He said as he pulled out their helmets to reveal their faces. Ethan with his stoic expression.

Ohgi: wait! You guys are..

Ethan: That's right, David here is Britannian, and me, in your eyes I look Britannian but I'm half Japanese like Kallen.

David: The hell! Ethan, I'm not Britannian I gave up that nationality.

Tamaki: I'm very confused right now.

Leon: So we wish to have an alliance between us. Not only that our superiors wish to meet with all of you.

Leon then turned to Ethan

Leon: Ethan! 

Ethan nodded as he put out his arm into his face

Ethan: Infinity this is Sierra-100 of Bravo Team it's time to beam us up!

Then everyone in sight got beamed up to the UNSS Infinity. Everyone felt a slight tingly after they got teleported to the ship. Taizo Kirihara stood up on his feet. Everyone looked around

Kallen: Where are we?

Soyeon: Looked behind you

Everyone looked behind to see a familiar planet that is seen out of the window. Everyone was shocked to see what has seen.

Ohgi: That's! That's!

Kallen: Planet Earth!

The Black Knights were just shocked to see they were in high orbit of Earth. Realizing how small they are comparing to the Earth. Then doors opened to see a man in his mid-20s. 

Lasky: You must be them. I am Thomas Lasky Captain of the UNSS Infinity 

Lasky said as he greeted Zero or Lelouch.

Lelouch: I am Lelouch of the Black Knights" 

Lasky: Welcome Everyone to the Infinity, please follow me to the comms room where everyone will be meeting with each other. 

As they were walking, everyone except for Bravo and Leon was shocked to see all these advanced technologies. 

Tamaki: oh my goodness we're in a Spaceship woo hoo!

Inoue: I...I never thought I would be in a spaceship in my lifetime! Especially standing over our planet. 

Yoshida: You could say that again!

As they looked around, they see various people either marching, some are scientists, some are wearing the same armor that Bravo team is wearing, and Inoue saw a familiar face onboard the ship. It was Pierce. Pierce saw Inoue as he waved. Inoue waved back at him as she smiled. Then they have entered the Japanese sector of the ship. The Black Knights were surprised to see that Japanese people were working on the ship. Again some are scientists and some became soldiers. After that, they finally reached the comms room. They can see four of the URA marines guarding the place. Not only that, but Euphemia happens to be sitting in the comms room as well shocking everyone. Lelouch on the other hand had his mask off. 

Lelouch: Euphie?

Euphie: Lelouch?

Ohgi: That's Euphemia li Britannia

They all sat down, then soon President Mason Fiota arrives at the scene that he can project himself with sound over long distances. 

"Greetings I am President Mason Fiota of the United Republic of America" 

Lelouch: America?

Euphemia: Wait a minute

Then Fiota sat down on his seat with his hands folded on the table.

Fiota: So let's begin the negotiations shall we?
