Shirley was being held by Augustus' men as her father was feeling being threatened and Villetta just stand still pointing her gun at them. Augustus see that she is alone and she wasn't with Britannian forces fighting against SRA, Black Knights, and The Enclave. He make a smirk on the face as he said.
Augustus: So, you must be Villetta Nu, "former" member of Pureblood. I didn't expected to come here.
Villetta: Former?
Augustus: That's right. Since the Pureblood faction in Area 11 have betrayed your own country and they're working with us.
Villetta: So, it was you who make them betrayal of the Holy Britannian Empire! You persuade them!
Augustus: Perhaps I am. It's just that since the "Orange" incident Kewell and the other members of Pureblood seeing Jeremiah Gottweld to be blamed for ruining their reputation so I did what I could to give them something more than reputation.
Villetta: And what's that?
Augustus: Loyalty to the Enclave.
Joseph: E-Enclave?
Augustus: Yes. That's what we called ourselves. We are going to change the world once we unleash our fury upon this world and it will be soon in our grasp.
Villetta: You sound like you can take over this world. But I see a small number of terrorist impossible to win.
Augustus: Oh, but it was only beginning. But it is unfortunate you won't see it.
Villetta: Huh?
She is confused before she suddenly got shot by a sniper and fell on the ground. Joseph and Shirley look in horror they killed her.
Augustus: Dump the body.
Two Enclave commando comply his order and carry Villetta to dump her somewhere. What they don't know is that she still alive and she is in unconscious. Augustus face at him.
Augustus: So where are we? Ah yes, thank you for giving me your research documents about Geass that you work for Prince Clovis and Gen. Bartley. You make a very good work for your career.
Shirley: Daddy, what is Geass. What is this about?
Augustus: Oh darling, he has secrets that you wouldn't know everything about his work. But since you are here and you know everything too much...
He pulled out Oni pistol and points at her.
Augustus: Then I'm afraid you have to be taken out.
Shirley's eye widened in horror as she fear of her life being threatened and she was going to die here where no one will miss her except her friends and her lover, Lelouch Lamperouge. She is in a verge of tears as she is going to die when suddenly her father pulled out his pistol and points at him.
Joseph: Let my daughter go right now!
Augustus: Oh? Looks like Daddy here has come to save his daughter.
His commandos are pointing their weapons at him.
Joseph: I have been scared when I got out from Narita when it become a warzone. I survived to escape the facility from your men when my colleagues are either killed or captured. You try to blackmail me when you tried to threaten my family. I cannot allow to be happen of what I have just done. My daughter isn't part of this. I do!
Augustus: So you admitted that you lied to your daughter about your job as a car selling guy. A scientist conducting the human experimentation ordered by Prince Clovis and Gen. Bartley.
Shirley was loss of words of what her father's job isn't about selling cars. It's about human experimentation. She can't believe her father lied to her from the start when he got a job when she was born. She also can't believe he is working for Prince Clovis who is responsible of order the massacre of Shinjuku ghetto. Joseph was guilty of his daughter's reaction but he does not cared. He will save her daughter so he can atone his sins.
Joseph: I may lied to my daughter so she can have a perfect life, I have to for my family. Even actions I committed bring more sins onto my shoulders, I'll do anything for her.
Shirley: Father...
Augustus: Ah... Love for a daughter. Such an emotional scene. But emotional can be advantage.
Joseph is confused and suddenly Augustus quickly kick the gun out of his hand and then he got shot to the body chest.
Shirley: Father! No!
Joseph cough out in blood as Augustus walks toward him with the gun pointing at him.
Augustus: It is a pleasure to meet you in person, Joseph Fenette. And now, your future comes in the end with one bullet.
He pulled a trigger and a bullet goes to Joseph's head. Blood comes out spreading on the ground. Shirley's eyes widened as her heart crashed into million pieces. She watch her father was shot by that man and she couldn't do anything to save him despite how her father have lied and commit horrible experimented on human beings, he still love her no matter what. Tears flows down the cheeks from her eyes. She cried out her father.

She dodge the rockets and fires a slash harken at him. Unfortunately, it's out of reach when Viper's titan moves away to avoid getting hit in range. Zero got up and went to intercept the fight. Blisk turns around and open fire as he able to take out some of the pieces from Zero's knightmare. He dodge it and use slash harken to fly away but Viper notice it and fires rocket to shoot down a knightmare. Zero got hit and crash down to the ground as it ejects the cockpit to land nearby where Shirley is there.

Somewhere
Percivel is parking at outside the a small abandoned house in the woods. Luciano is sitting with Augustus, Kewell, and Gen. Husk to meet them in person. He drink a cup of tea as they're having a conversation.
Augustus: I hope that's everything you learn from us.
He finished drinking his tea cup and place it on the plate.
Luciano: Oh man, I cannot believe the American rebels have find a way to another world where futuristic technology there that left behind by alien civilization. This taking so long time for me to accept it after you explaining the whole thing.
He look directly at Kewell.
Luciano: And I know why you turn your back on your empire.
Kewell: It is for the best of all of us. I lead my Pureblood and I am doing it so they can give me something they promise. Regretfully, I feel that I betray my homeland, but nonetheless I'm doing it anyway.
Luciano look at two Enclave officers.
Luciano: So, what the Enclave intention here on Earth?
Husk: I would like you to come to our side. Like I said, we can give you something to satisfy your bloodshed in the battlefield, if that's what you want according to your files.
Luciano: I see you're doing the homework. Yes. That's how I earn my title "Vampire of Britannia" from begin with. And what makes you think I can join your organization.
Husk: To change the world by Richardson vision. The nobles, they are always be so arrogant, so selfish, and so ignorant fools to protect their nobility by any means to keep their luxury. The Blacks, they should've not come to exist like your friend there which she is defeated in her first time. The royalties who struggles to take the throne when the emperor died. The emperor believes he can win, but he cannot see the enemy of the shadow will come to take his life without a warning. The Knights, they always rely on honor when killing the civilians from foreign countries to believe their righteous. The Holy Britannian Empire believes the conquest is only way to bring peace to the world, but soon, they will fall by resistance and terrorists because they dislike their ideas.
Luciano: She is overzealous woman. She always look down those who are lower-class citizens and Numbers. Also, I kinda agree with you for once.
Husk: That is why we need your skills to benefit for the Enclave. The Frontier Militia, they are just pretend to be organization revolutionary group. They are real military force of Sovereignty Republic of America. Not only America, they also other countries on other world that fled here.
Luciano: I see... If that's what you want, I would like to say something for you.
Augustus: And what's that?
He lean closer near to their faces.
Luciano: I am happily to join you guys to slaughter everyone in the battlefield, and build a new order. You have me, I can kill everyone in the battlefield. Is that okay for you?
Husk, Kewell, and Augustus look at each other faces for a second before Husk said to him.
Husk: Very well. It's pleasure to join us, Luciano.
They both shake their hands as Luciano has joining the Enclave in secret. His expression becomes chaotic as he will likely to kill more people in the battlefield just for satisfaction.
