Ashford Academy Student Council Clubhouse, The Day Before, 09:00 hours.

One born of human flesh. . . Man is now a race of some power. You, son of man, must face the power you hold. And you must face your destiny as well. . .

A young man with raven-black hair sighed as he hung up his cellphone before going back to the meeting room.

"So what was that phone call about, Lelouch?" a young woman with green hair asked the raven-haired young man.

"That was an associate named Naoya calling me to see if I could hang out with him later today. Apparently he'll be waiting at the observation platform of the old Tokyo Tower. He said that I can bring along at most five friends. Do you feel like coming along?"

"L- Lelouch. Just one question: Is Naoya an E- E- Eleven?"

"It seems that you have a long road head of you with regards to getting over your xenophobia, Nina. Naoya is surprising civil for a Japanese person. In fact, before Nunnally and I showed up at the gates of this Academy we lived with him for almost two years. We ended up having to leave because a bunch of terrorists decided to start causing trouble after setting up shop and Naoya foresaw major trouble for myself and Nunnally if we stayed with him any longer."

"What happened after you and Nunnally left Naoya's place? Did he join the terrorists?"

"Naoya didn't join the terrorists after we left. Instead, he anonymously tipped off the cops about the terrorists and they all got arrested."

"Well, I suppose that I can come along with you."

"Let's get moving, Nina. Milly and Shirley are probably wonder what's taking us so long."

Lelouch and Nina made their way to the entrance of the Clubhouse and it was there that they met two young women, one of which had shoulder-length blonde hair while the other had waist-length orange hair. "Took long enough for you two to get here. I was almost considering looking for the two of you so that we could begin helping out the Art Club." the blonde-haired young woman said.

"I have something to ask the two of you: Do you want to come along with Nina and I to the old Tokyo Tower later today? My associate Naoya said that I can bring along at most five friends. I just wanted to see if either of you were interested, Milly Ashford and Shirley Fenette." Lelouch said.

"I guess that I'll be able to see Naoya for the first time if I go with you, Lelouch. Isn't that right, Milly?" the orange-haired girl said.

"I suppose that it has been a long time since you and Naoya last saw each other. I'll come along as well since I want to see this Naoya fellow in person." the blonde-haired girl said.

Though your days be peaceful, the fated time draws near. I am your judgement. I sundered the tongues of your fathers and shattered their arrogant power.

A couple of hours later, it was 12:00 hours and Rivalz also wanted to come along to hang out with Naoya. Lelouch was then waiting with everyone else for the one other person that would want to be with Naoya.

"This might take awhile, so remain here. I need to check up on what's taking my sister so long." Lelouch said before heading inside the clubhouse. Half an hour passed before he returned while pushing a wheelchair that was being occupied by a young girl with sandy brown hair. Lelouch then said, "Nunnally needed a new set of wheels for her wheelchair. Apparently the old set was getting squeaky, so I had to replace them. Anyways, let's get going so that we can meet with Naoya. I am sure that Nunnally misses him."

Meanwhile in one of the Ghettos that surrounded the Tokyo Settlement, a young Japanese woman with short red hair and wore a loose white dress, elbow length black gloves, and long black leather high heel boots commented, "Ha. . . I can't do this. What was Aya thinking when she gave me this song. . ?"

A Japanese man with black hair that was styled in an afro said to her, "Just take your time, Haru. 'The language of song is boundless.' Do what your heart tells you. That was what my deceased friend Naoto said to me, Kaname Ohgi, before he died in battle against the Britannians."

So long as the Lord does not live in you, all living beings hold darkness in their hearts.

In a building near the Viceroy's Palace on the 53rd floor, a Japanese woman with purple hair and wearing an orange and white thigh-length dress with two slits on the front said to a grey-haired Japanese guy who wore a blue shirt, black pants, geta, and a black coat that reached to his ankles with a green raining matrix code design draped over his shoulders, "The 'Summoning Vessel' is complete. Will you continue to lend us your strength, Naoya?"

"I've done nothing. The ancient common tongue summoned them. God's no friend of mine, Amane. Farewell for now." Naoya said before leaving.

If you truly wish to be yourself, then rise up and fight the darkness within. . . the demon inside.

Inside the Viceroy's Palace throne room, Clovis la Britannia noticed a soldier salute to him before leaving and said to a large bald man, "So it's begun. The ordeal has been thrust upon us, General Bartley."

"Indeed, your highness. However, the Honorable Knight of One Bismarck Waldstein is on his way here as we speak. He shall bring us a desirable outcome for this ordeal." Bartley replied.

As He proclaimed. . . this world, created in seven days, shall be destroyed by the sounding of seven trumpets. You who have a will, fear the numbers your eyes shall see. Fear the time left. . .
