Chapter 1 – Temporary Allied
"If you wish to disagree, the we ask you to divide Britannia as a country or lower your electoral count down proportional to 20% of your country's proportion."
"Chairwoman Kaguya. May I pose one question to you?"
"What would that be?"
"What determines the right to govern the world?"
"Pride and honor are necessary to govern others."
"Very well answered, now if I told you I will lower my country's electoral count down to 25% will you accept my country's application?"
Suddenly the large screen above Lady Kaguya's head turned on with a view of Pendragon and other military bases owned by nations allied with the UFN, wiped off the face of the earth. Everybody participating in the conference was shocked by the sight.
"Emperor Leouch! Is this your doing?"
"Why would I destroy my own country and kill my people while I am trying to attain peace!"
The scene was then change to an image of Damocles hovering above the sky.
"Then who would do such a thing? Also what can cause that much destruction in a matter of mere seconds?"
"I wouldn't know, but maybe my subordinates can find out."
"Seeing as to that you, Emperor Leouch, did not plan this and also that we have a common enemy. The UFN will temporarily accept the Holy Britannian Empire's membership."
The octagonal shaped wall was then brought down and a counter attack was then planned.
"Thank you. May I request the key members of the UFN's military, the Black Knights, to plan a counter attack against the enemy with me?"
"Very well. Let us use one of the conference rooms situated in this school."
"Understand"
-Ashford Academy, Conference Room-
Leouch sat down in one of the chairs in the conference room and waited for the Black Knights to arrive. The first on to enter was Karen followed by Ougi and the rest.
"Its good to see that all of you are doing well."
"Lelouch, could you tell us what happened in Pendragon and the other military bases?"
"Cecile, please explain what you have found."
Lelouch directed them towards the screen in the middle of the table where Cecile appeared.
"Your Majesty, Black Knights. The estimated radius of the crater in Pendragon and other areas is approximately a hundred kilometers. We believe it to be caused by F.L.E.I.A."
"Have you figured out what the floating object is?"
"No, Your Majesty but it is at least three kilometers on its longest axis."
"I see, thank you."
The screen was turned off and silence replaced it until Todou spoke.
"Emperor Leouch, I can sense that you have somewhat of an idea who is behind this. That is correct am I not?"
Leouch did not answer him, he just looked at him debated whether or not to tell then when suddenly his phone rang. "Excuse me."
"Lelouch, there is someone trying to contact you on the royal hot line. And there is only one person I know who would know about it."
"Hmph…Very well I shall take it. Patch him through. Also may I request the Black Knights to just listen and hold off all your comments till after."
Lelouch placed his phone on the table and attached it to the laptop present in the room, then Schineziel appeared on the screen and the Black Knights just listened intensively.
"Does it feel good to have control over other people, Lelouch? I have recovered all the F.L.E.I.A. warheads."
"You will aim an arrow at the Emperor of Britannia?"
"Unfortunately, I do not acknowledge you as the Emperor"
"I see. You believe you are more fitting as the emperor?"
"No, you are wrong, Lelouch. The person that is most fit to be Emperor of Britannia is her…"
Schineziel then gestured his hand beside him and the camera followed his hand gesturing to the person beside him and presented Nunnally. The shocked expression of Lelouch caught the Black Knights off guard. The video then expanded and showed Kanon, Schineziel, Nunnally, Cornelia and Diethard.
"Nu…"
"Brother, Suzaku, I am your enemy"
"Nunnally you were alive?"
"Yes, Thanks to Brother Schineziel."
"Schineziel?" Suzaku then interjected
"Nunnally do you understand whar Schineziel just did?"
"Yes, he detonated a F.L.E.I.A. warhead over Pendragon."
"If you knew, then why?"
"Then are you saying Geass is the correct way? Brother, Suzaku both of you have been lying to me all this time right? You've always kept the truth away from me but I know the truth now Brother you are Zero, right? Why? Was it for my sake? If so then-"
"For you? Such audacity coming from my sister of all people. You believe it is natural for people to receive blessing? You scorn the action of others without staining your own hands. You are exactly the archaic nobility I have denied"
"That's not-"
The communications was then cut off, leaving a shocked Lelouch and Suzaku in their locations. Karen then spoke out with a hint of concern for Lelouch after hearing the conversation.
"Lelouch…Lelouch!"
Snapping out of his trans. "Ahh…Karen, what is it?" Before Karen could answer Chiba suddenly interjected. "That voice, it was Schineziel wasn't it?"
"Yes, and now he is using my sister against me. I wonder what kind of lies has he been feeding her, using her disability and lack of true knowledge to manipulate her. We must stop Schineziel before he decides to fire more of F.L.E.I.A. onto innocent lives."
"This is why we set this meeting didn't we."
