As Lelouch, the very same Lelouch who had brought us together, drove us to our execution something seemingly miraculous happened. Out of nowhere Zero appeared and as soon as he ran past the first three Knightmares I knew something was wrong. This was a man who just dodged three super weapons, it shouldn't have been possible. No one, not even Suzaku, could do that. It only got weirder afterward. The man posing as Zero suddenly ran up to, and jumped Lord Jeremiah with ease. The man who was loyalty incarnate showed no intention of moving, let alone fighting back to the person running off to kill his master. As soon as Zero appeared before Lelouch there was a pause and suddenly the floor was stained dark, glistening red. It clicked. Too late it clicked. The reason why six of the most powerful weapons on earth, one of the most powerful people on earth and even Lelouch himself couldn't stop someone in a costume. As per always, this was his plan and it was going as planned. It was so obvious looking back on it now, especially how he acted.
My eyes widened in shock at the realisation of his plan and filled to the brim of tears realising what his intentions were. It took less than a second for my tears to pour-no, flood out of my eyes. I let out a scream of pure agony, one from the bottom of both my lungs and heart, as the costumed Zero added insult to injury by throwing the now dead Lelouch down the slope and cruelly watching as the limp ragdoll-like body slid down leaving a long streak of dark crimson blood. People old and young cheered from the top of their lungs for the hero who had killed the Demon King. Nothing could've made me angrier. I wanted to yell out to them the amazing deed that this person had done, but to do so would ruin everything even if I could even get them to believe me. I realised it too late. I had known this person and fought by his side for over a year now, yet…yet I never realised it until it was too late. I shouldn't have said goodbye to him that time, it was just too sad. Something like this was just, simply, too sad.
