Next Morning

Oscar: Gah! Why do I have to agree with this!

He said in his annoyance. He and his friends dressing student uniforms are walking to the Ashford Academy as they were assigned by CIA to gather information within the academy. Also, they keep an eyes on a teenage boy named Lelouch Lamperouge that disguise as Zero. Danny said to him.

Danny: Chill out, man. It ain't so bad, besides, we are all in this together. The CIA wants us to inform anything within the academy.

Keshly: Um, is it okay for Chinese coming the academy that filled with Britannian students, both commoners and nobles.

Ling: Heh... I can take on anyone that tries to bully me. I'm a fighter and a hacker too.

Oscar: Okay, okay, okay! Let's focus, guys. We got some job to do.

They behave themselves and focus on the mission.

...

Lelouch was in the classroom with his friends. They heard they have new students coming here today and they will study here until graduated. His best friend, Rivalz, said to him.

Rivalz: Did you hear, Lelouch? New students from the homeland are coming here to study with us. Isn't it great!

Lelouch: It's like every day, Rivalz. New people from either the homeland or the Areas they live in come to study here like everybody else. It doesn't bother me anyway.

Rivalz: Sheesh. Talking about excitement.

Shirley: Hey guys, I feel like they're here.

Rivalz: Huh? How do you know that?

Shirley: I'm just saying they're here, that's all.

She said truthfully. A teacher comes to the room as she said.

Female Teacher: Class, I like to meet new students coming today.

The door opens to see Oscar and the others entering the room. The students are murmuring about new students coming this school in unexpected. A teacher just said.

Female teacher: Would you like to introduce themselves?

Oscar: Yes, ma'am.

He faces at the students in the classroom as he introduced himself.

Oscar: I'm Oscar Martinus and I come from the homeland of the glorious empire of Britannia.

He said as he tried to keep his temper down due to hatred of corrupt nation. The others are next to introduced themselves.

Keshly: I am Keshly Faustus from Area 3. Pleasure to meet you all.

Danny: I'm Danny H. Wright from... the homeland as well. It is pleasure to meet you.

He said, trying to be Britannian like he was belong, but never forgetting to retake North America as his former glory of American home. Some of the girls find pleasure to meet a young buff boy while some of the boys are feeling jealous.

Ling: I'm Ling Liu. it is an honor to meet you.

She said. They are some students questioning about a Chinese girl attending the academy. Lelouch and the others are find curious of why Chinese teenage girl comes to Ashford Academy if Chinese Federation hold hostility to Holy Britannian Empire. Kallen was also curious of why A Chinese girl come to this school if she can attend it at her country. A teacher just said.

Female Teacher: Okay, that's enough today. You four can take the seats.

Oscar and the others went to their seats. Once they take the seats, the students are starting the lessons for today.

...

Middle East territory

A group of Middle East Federation bamides driving through the sand to defend the last base to fight back against Britannia forces. Their commander make a speech to his comrades.

Arabian commander: Men, we must defend the base at all cost. We're the only ones to defend this country from Britannia! We'll show them our spirits and our God that we won't break so easily. Are you with me?

All Arabian personnel: Yes, sir!

Arabian commander: Good! Now, kill those murderers!

They droven into the sand until they spotted a battalion of Britannian tanks open firing at them.

Arabian commander: Open fire!

The bamides open fire at the enemy to destroy few of them. Then, a large group of gloucesters wearing purple capes and wearing land.

Arabian soldier 1: Gloucester?

Arabiam soldier 2: It's supposed to be in Serupham.

The caped gloucesters scattered around them and tried to hit them at underneath the bamades. The one they lead these gloucesters is named Gen. Darlton as he just said.

Darlton: Shoddy oversized imitation Knightmares.

Guilford: They would've been wise to surrender from the start.

The Arabians are feeling shaking as gloucesters are hitting them hard. Then, their base at the behind was blown up.

Arabian commander: What?!

He said shockingly. A different gloucester has long horns and it held a javelin as it standing on destroying base. The fire flies on the air as the Arabians has lost the battle.

Arabian commander: So Cornelia. A single unit did this?

He said before the explosion kills him. The caped gloucesters are fall back as bamades are destroyed. The leader of this campaign is Cornelia li Britannia. She is a second princess of the Holy Britannian Empire and Chief General of Britannian Army. She have face many foes in her campaigns. She was loyal to her country to bring the end of the war. But things has changed for that day. When Zero killed Clovis and the truth exposed about Shinjuku ghetto ordered to be massacred by her brother, it affects on imperial britannian family. It has stunned to Clovis mother and it broke her heart. His sister, Laila, was devastated and she haven't spoke to anyone since then. She wipe it off as she said.

Cornelia: Another victory. Area 18 has been established.

Darlton (screen): My Lady, about our next course of action.

Cornelia: Sorry to have you clean up after my foolish younger brother.

Darlton (screen): Please don't apologize, my Lady. We live to serve and our place is with you.

She smirked and she said.

Cornelia: Humph. Do you think the Area 11 needs our usual treatment?

Darlton (screen): Yes, my Lady.

Cornelia: Good.

She look away as her thoughts run through her.

Cornelia (thoughts): I'll drive you into the open, Zero. Even what happened on that day and Clovis' actions, he is still the blood of our family. You will be erased from existence.

...

Planet Installation, White House

SRA Field Marshal on the screen in president office room to inform him about earth.

SRA LT.General (screen): Mr. President, we have reports that Middle East has fallen to Britannian Empire. Area 18 has been established.

James: Grr! Another victim has fallen to the empire. I would send my full troops there, but it would be risk to our existence.

SRA LT.General (screen): Sir, I also inform from black ops in Britannia. They have secrer project they're building on.

James: Tell me, what is it called?

SRA LT.General (screen): It's called Damocles. A sky fortress that has defense systems and absolute defense system. It was made by Toromo Agency and the founder was Prince Schneizel.

James: Prince Schneizel? Why would he- It doesn't matter anymore. I want that fortress not to be deployed in the future. Send spies to sabotage their precious fortress.

SRA LT.General (screen): Yes sir.

The screen turns off. He massage his forehead because it's stressful for him. He lean back the chair to relax for a while.

James: Ohh... I hope Oscar and his team are fine there. I know Oscar has bad taste of his own country, but I know he'll be calm down without picking someone who is... racist.

...

Pureblood headquarter

Kewell and the others are gathering in the surveillance room to discuss about what happened last night. Kewell said to the others.

Kewell: This is all his fault!

Purist member 1: Who? Zero?

Kewell: No! It's Jeremiah Gottwald. He's responsible for letting Zero getting away.

Purist member 2: But how it's his fault?

Kewell: He was too damn distracted after this so-called Voice of Truth exposed the truth that media suppose to cover it up. Our own people give humanitarian aid to those damn Elevens! They don't deserve to be treated when they lost their identity of nationality. If he was too focus on Zero and not to that damn anonymous voice and our own people against us, we could've a chance to abolish honorary system. Don't forget that Princess Cornelia will be new viceroy of Area 11 and she will bring down this organization for good.

The Purist members are questioning to Jeremiah that lead to their organization to downfall. After that, they said to him.

Purist member 1: Okay. So what's your plan, Kewell?

He shows an evil smirk on his face that gives him an idea.

Kewell: I have a plan.

...

Area 11, Tokyo Settlement

Two CIA agents dressing up as Britannian civilians walking around the street. Since Americans are kind of look alike of Britannians, they won't be worry about it. They spotted Suzaku Kururugi who is released from court marshal. But he's not alone, he was with a pink-haired innocent Britannian girl talking and walking with him. They follow them behind, they were able to take pictures using secret camera. They keep going after them when Suzaku is feeling someone is watching him so he turn around. The agents blend in to avoid him suspicious on them. Then, they heard her talking to him.

Euphemia: Is something wrong?

Suzaku: O-Oh. It's nothing. Anyway, did you say anything?

Euphemia: Oh right, Suzaku, would you mind taking me to one more place, please?

Suzaku: Your wish is my command, my Lady. Where to?

Euphemia: Take me to Shinjuku.

He was shocked that he will take her to the ghetto that was ordered to be massacred by Prince Clovis.

Suzaku: Uh...

Euphemia: Suzaku Kururugi, please escort me there.

Suzaku: Um, sure.

He said. They both went to Shinjuku ghetto. Two agents look at them leaving to Shinjukj ghetto. They contact to the superiors through the comms.

CIA agent: This is Agent Wills, they headed to Shinjuku ghetto. We'll follow them at behind.

...

Ashford Academy

Oscar and the others walking in the hallway in break time. They headed outside when they split into two teams. Oscar and Danny will go to find Lelouch while Keshly and Ling went to find Nunnally where she was staying in.

Oscar and his friend was looking for him until they saw him sitting on the bench using a laptop. They went to hide at the tree to watch him.

Danny: So... An exiled prince is really here. Just as the brief told us.

Oscar: Yeah. To be honest, it's surprised the authorities didn't bother to look for them if they still alive. Ironically, their mother was assassinated by the terrorist. I wonder how they get there without guards.

Danny: Well, no time for that because I see a girl over there.

He said. He pointing his finger at Kallen was talking to him.

Danny: What are they doing?

Oscar: Probably talking something friendly.

Danny: You know, we can't believe we're working for CIA. The most government agency in SRA. It's our first time to work as a spy or agent.

Oscar: It's either of them.

Then, came to his shocking expression, he saw a green-haired girl coming outside as she was wandering around the area. Hearing a classified briefing from both CIA and Atlas, she is an important target to SRA. He get an earpiece and put it on his ear and contact to CIA headquarter.

Oscar: This is Oscar Martinus, I have a report that green-haired girl is the one from the capsule that Japanese resistance stole from the lab.

CIA operator (comms): I'm sorry. Say it again, over.

Oscar: A girl identified as C.C is in Ashford Academy. Apparently, she able to escape and seek refuge here.

CIA operator (comms): Roger that. The CIA and Atlas will handle it. You continue looking out for Lelouch and Nunnally.

Oscar: Understood. Over and out.

He said as he turn it off and put it back to his pocket. They saw Lelouch goes to C.C and go to the rooftop.

Oscar: They're moving. Let's go!

He and his friend went after them at behind.

...

Ling and Keshly goes to the building where Nunnally lived. They entered
the building to looking for her location when they encountered a female Japanese maid just stopped in the hallway.

Sayoko: Oh! You must be new students. I am Sayoko Shinozaki, I'm a personnel maid of Ashford Academy at your service. How can I help you two?

They look at each other faces and they say to her.

Ling: I'm Ling Liu and this is Keshly Faustus. We just wondering if we can meet new people around here.

Keshly: Y-Yeah. We just wondering if we can meet a girl. I hear from our new classmates about her.

Sayoko: Ah, I see. I'll lead you to her. Please, follow me.

She leads them to Nunnally's dorm. She opened the door to see Nunnally is doing an origami activity for fun and then she notice someone is entering her room.

Nunnally: Oh! I didn't know I have visitors.

Sayoko: Miss Nunnally, meet two new students, Keshly Faustus and Ling Lu.

Nunnally: Ah, they must be them. Hello, I'm Nunnally Lamperouge. Nice to meet you.

Ling: Nice to meet you too.

They went to sit with her as Sayoko leaves the room.

Nunnally: I'm happy to meet new people enroll here.

Keshly: Yeah. We were surprised we able to enroll here for studying.

Nunnally: So what brings you here?

Ling: Like he said, study here. We just need to be graduated so we can survive this world. Not to mention the Britannia is war on earth.

Nunnally: So why a Chinese coming to enroll here.

Ling: It's better not to know anything. I have good reason for that.

Nunnally: Oh... So do you want some tea?

Timeskip

Keshly: Thanks for conversation. We'll sure our friendship will be stay forever.

Nunnally: Bye!

She said, wavering her hand to goodbye them. Ling and Keshly went outside the building and headed to their classroom.

Keshly: Wow! She seem to be kind girl I've ever met.

Ling: Ha! Speak to yourselves, you did met on every girl in Installation.

Danny: Well, not on earth. Me, American, is different from Britannian. We are from better constitutional democratic than United Republic of Europia while Britannian is from absolute monarchy ruled by a most evil emperor on earth.

Ling: Anyway, we must contact to CIA about confirmed location.

Keshly: Right. I'm wonder how Oscar and Danny doing their work?

...

Two CIA agents are in the Tokyo Settlement to find them. And then, they saw a small group of Japanese who are related to resistance and two Ashford students coming in the settlement. One of Japaneses shouted at them.

Tamaki: Get out of here, you Britannian pigs!

Suzaku went to stop them from starting the fight. The CIA agents went to hide and observe the scene.

Britannian student 1: W-Wait! We don't want to fight. We just take the documentary to show what really happened to Shinjuku since the event.

Tamaki: Ha! Pretend to be pity on us. You're all the same. You took away our homes, our nationality, and our freedom. You don't know anything about our suffering.

Britannian student 2: But he's telling a truth.

Tamaki: You shut up there!

Toru: Stop, Tamaki! There are some Britannians give us humanitarian medical aids.

Tamaki: Do you believe with that crap!

The CIA agents watched Suzaku is intervene to stop them from fighting. Tamaki argue him for being a traitor and then he went to punch him, but he was being kicked by Suzaku since he was trained by his sensei, Tohdoh. After that, Toru and Minase apologize to them and thanking for humanitarian support to their people and they headed home. Five minutes later, they heard a loud sound like someone is fighting. They find the source coming from the stadium. A trailer came to see Cecile and Lloyd are coming to pick him up. Suzaku asked them to use Lancelot to stop anyone fighting there. Lloyd agrees, and he went to the stadium. An agent contact to HQ as he said.

CIA agent: Suzaku Kururugi is piloting Lancelot and headed to the old stadium in Shinjuku ghetto. We're going after them.

...

Jeremiah was fighting against his own men attempted to kill him. He was ambushed when he got here, according to Kewell's intel. But it was a lie. He was luring here to end his life to remove their disgrace from happening. Jeremiah dodge the attack as he said.

Jeremiah: Kewell. You coward. I was going to stop him, but our own people is getting my way.

Kewell: Your excuse won't save you Jeremiah. We have to wipe away our disgrace before Princess Cornelia takes up her post here. This is how we keep our officials honest.

Jeremiah: Grr... Kewell!

He shouted as he block Purist sutherland equipped with a javelin that goes to stab him. But, he was caught off guard as Kewell's sutherland stabs on Jeremiah's sutherland arm with a javelin.

Jeremiah: Damn, it's four against one. Cowards!

Kewell: Don't worry Jeremiah. We'll say you died in battle. Your family's name won't be disgraced.

Jeremiah: You're serious then? You actually intend to kill me? Kewell!

Kewell: Silence, Jeremiah Gottwald. We serve the Imperial family. Why else would we be here? All hail...

Kewell: Britannia!

All Purist pilots: Britannia!

They shouted to their country name as they charge towards Jeremiah. Jeremiah is feeling shocked that he's going to die by his own members. Then suddenly, someone intervened the fight as a slash harken almost hit Kewell's knightmare.

???: Stop!

The Purist members stop charging Jeremiah as they turn around to see a Lancelot on top of the stadium is the one stopping them from killing Jeremiah.

Suzaku: Stop it! You're all Britannian soldiers!

Jeremiah just shocked that a honorary britannian just saving his life from the Purebloods.

Jeremiah: That's him, it's that Honorary Britannian. The advanced weapon, Lancelot.

He said. Kewell isn't happy that Special Team sent a Number piloting a advanced prototype to stop him from killing him.

Kewell: What business of the Special Corps want here? Interlopers will die.

Suzaku: No! I can't stand by and ignore this senseless battle.

He said as he drew out a double swords, ready to fight if they don't stand down.

Kewell: Oh my God. They've perfected the MVSes. Too late, I won't back down. Men, attack him!

He said. The Purebloods firing slash harkens at him and Lancelot jumps out from the attack.

Suzaku: We are on the same side!

He cut down the slash harken lines on the air and proceed to attack them and protect Jeremiah.

Jeremiah: Suzaku Kururugi... is saving me?

He said surprisingly to his face.

Unknown to them, the CIA agents are in the stadium as they deploy a drone to recording the fight.

The Lacenlot is knock out two Purist sutherlands without destroying them. Kewell clenched his teeth and fists as he won't achieve his goal.

Kewell: We can at least kill Jeremiah! All hail britannia!

All Purist pilots: All hail britannia!

They scatter around to confuse the Lancelot. A Purist sutherland from the side reach to Jeremiah's knightmare as he raise his javelin at him.

Purist pilot: You're mine!

He said. Unfortunately for him, another Purist sutherland piloting by Villeta save Jeremiah by kicking him out.

Viletta: Lord Jeremiah!

Jeremiah: Viletta! Thanks.

Lancelot went to protect them as he held two swords on his grip.

Suzaku: Still wanna fight?

He said to the Purebloods. Kewell is clenching his teeth as he knew he cannot fight against advanced knightmare so he has an idea to defeat him.

Kewell: Men, fall back.

The Purebloods are falling back. Villeta and Suzaku lowered their guard that they thought is over.

Suzaku: You... you understand then?

Kewell grab a chaos mine from his right leg as he said through the speaker.

Kewell: I'm using a chaos mine.

Suzaku: Huh?

Euphemia arrived in the stadium to stop the fighting from each other.

Euphemia: No, stop it now!

But it's too late as Kewell throws a chaos mine and releasing the gun blazing. Lancelot went to protect them, especially her by using an absolute defense system to block the bullets although it did hit some of the parts. After that, the fight is over as chaos mine is run out the bullets. Viletta just surprised for Suzaku risking his life to save them. Euphemia confronts Kewell and his members as she said.

Euphie: Everyone, lower your weapons at once. In my name I command you.

Kewell: It...can't be.

He said as he shocked to recognize a girl before. She continue to said to them.

Euphie: I am Euphemia li Britannia of the Empire. And the third princess of the royal family.

Everyone are shocked, especially Suzaku, Jeremiah, and Viletta as well. They lowered down their weapons as her command.

The CIA agents saw the entire scene and they caught on camera. They packing it up and leave the stadium immediately.

...

James, Irons, and Steve have watched the recordings of fight event from CIA agents. They seem to be surprising because of Euphemia is a third princess of Holy Britannian Empire. After they watched it, James turn it off and Steve said to him.

Steve: It seems like a princess have shown to their faces. They're really dumbfounded that a girl is a princess.

Irons: Indeed. According to the report, Euphemia is kind a pacifist one. She is also close relationship with Lelouch and Nunnally.

James: And what are you suggesting?

Irons: I suggest that if we bring her to our side.

Steve: You're serious believe she will be on our side.

Irons: Yes. If we bring her here, then maybe she will join us to take back our home.

Steve: But she's Britannian princess. Also, she is a child. She never accept the reality. It will leads her to misguided downfall.

James: Hmm...

Irons: Mr. President?

James: Well, I do have plans for her in begin with. You're right, Mr. Iron, we have to get her on our side. But there's one problem that getting in our way, Suzaku...

Steve: Yes. For what I learn about him, his piloting skills becomes better than the first encounter with Oscar. Sooner or later, he will become her bodyguard. Don't forget, he has some kind of kung fu skills, I don't know which he learn that moves.

James: Nevermind about that. Speaking for Oscar, the CIA got report from Oscar team that Lelouch and Nunnally have confirmed location they hidden from their own country, especially her.

Irons: C.C.

Steve: Exactly. So what are your orders?

James: Have the black-ops ready when I say so. When I get an order, I want her and anyone too close to her will bring them here.

Steve: A kidnapping, sir? Wasn't it seem, uh...

James: I know what you're getting at. Don't worry, it's not like I'm gonna hurt her because she's a Britannian. Besides, we don't hurt and/or kill children because they are our enemy.

He said. Steve just relieved to hear from him.

James: By the way, has Hammond Robotics have finished Project: Minuteman?

Steve: Yes sir.

James: Good. That won't spend a lot of money to make more Titans and Patriots. The blueprints of sutherland we stole just be useful to represent to the American people.

Irons: What about C.C.?

James: Oscar team will keep watching on her until I give an order. Now we learn Lelouch is Zero, his plan might change the humanity, but what plans will lead him to victory, I wonder...

...

Government bureau

Cornelia and her subordinates have arrived in Area 11 to be a new viceroy. Euphemia was happy to see her older half-sister comes back from the battlefield. Cornelia said to her sister.

Cornelia: I heard what you did, Euphemia. You shouldn't be so reckless.

Euphemia: I know, Sister. Forgive me. But...

Cornelia: You will address me as Viceroy here, Sub-Viceroy Euphemia. Because we're sisters we need to follow a stricter protocol.

Euphemia: Yes, I understand.

Cornelia: Humph. Now then, give me your report.

She said to a Britannian officer.

Britannian officer: Yes, my Lady. The first order of business is a welcome party we've arranged for your Highness and...

He said when a gun-like sword pointing at him. He feel frightened to be aim by Cornelia. Euphemia just feel afraid that she might going to shoot him.

Cornnelia: Sloppy, senile, corrupt. Where is Zero? I want the enemy of the Empire caught! Get Zero!

She shouted angrily at the officer.

...

Ashford Academy, classroom

Oscar: Oh, you gonna be kidding me.

He muttered to himself. A new student came to the school and it was non other than Suzaku Kururugi himself. He said to the whole students.

Suzaku: I'll be joining the student body here at Ashford Academy beginning today. My name is Suzaku Kururugi. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Lelouch, among the students, is surprising to see his old best friend have attended in the academy. As for Oscar, when he got brief from the agency that the pilot of Lancelot was Suzaku Kururugi, he was shocked that it was a same guy fought in the Shinjuku ghetto, which he spared him. Keshly and the others see his reaction like he knows him. They have a feeling that these day will be long way to be here.

Danny: Well... This will be a lot of report soon.
