Author's POV
~~2 months later~~
"This just in-" the television network was suddenly interrupted by static. Then a man in a mask appeared on the screen. Linamae turned her attention away from her currently activated geass and to the screen.
"My dear Britannians.. Have no fear, all of the hostages from the hotel are safe and sound.. " his voice was strong and leading.
"Zero.. " Linamae's soft voice whispered out as she deactivated her geass. She heard Z.Z. chuckle behind her.
"Ah.. so you saw this did you.. ?" he smirked.
Linamae didn't respond, but continued to watch the screen.
"I, Zero, return them to you unharmed.. " images of the hostages came on the screen.
"His classmates were there too.. ?" Linamae whispered.
"You truly have been watching him hm.. ? Is it about time you went out then.. ?" Z.Z. chuckled as Linamae hushed her now crying son with a milk bottle.
"You've got everything prepared yes.. ? Costume.. me taking care of Sorale.. " he walked around the room, "You don't need to wait for Lady Kaguya to join him.. you've already seen that it won't happen for a while hm.. ?" Linamae stared down at her sleepy child.
"I know that but-" the image of not only Zero but some other terrorists in masks appeared on the screen standing behind him.
"People.. Fear us! Or rally behind us as you see fit! We.. are the Black Knights!"
"Hmm.. just as you predicted.. or should I say saw.. ?" Z.Z. danced around the room drinking orange juice out of a packet, his personal obsession.
"We of the Black Knights stand with all those who have no weapons to wield!" his voice was strong and powerful, "Regardless of whether they be Elevens OR Britannians! The Japan Liberation front cowardly took innocent Britannian civilians hostage and then mercilessly executed them! It was a wanting (A/N: I couldn't hear him right n) and meaningless act, therefore they have been punished!"
"It's a surprise someone is letting them continue running this.. " Z.Z. sipped his juice.
"There's a news reporter going to join with them.. " Linamae had activated her geass again.
"Hmm.. " Z.Z. smirked.
"Just as former Viceroy Clovis was punished for ordering the slaughter or countless unarmed Elevens.. We cannot stand by and allow such cruelty to be carried out.. and so we made him pay for his actions. I will not repudiate battle on a fair and level field.. but neither will I tolerate a one sided massacre of the weak by the strong.. The only ones who should kill.. Are those who are prepared to be killed! Wherever oppressors abuse their power by attacking those who are powerless.. WE shall appear again. No matter how mighty. How formidable our foe may be."
"Knights.. for Justice.. " Linamae mumbled.
"Those of you with power. FEAR US! Those of you without it. RALLY BEHIND US! We, the Black Knights, shall be the ones who stand in judgement of THIS world!"
"Hmm.. your boyfriend is a strong leader. Made to be one if you ask me.. "
"He was a former prince of Britannia.. "
"Ah yes.. of course how could I forget.. "
"And he's not my boyf-"
"Oh don't say that now.. Isn't he the reason you wanted power in the first place.. ?" he smiled at Linamae knowingly.
The screen went back to the regular program as the Black Knights cut communication.
Linamae bit her lip, "It's time.. " she held the baby tightly and picked up the cell phone on the table beside her.
~~ At Ashford Academy Late at Night ~~
The green haired woman had put on the blue Ashford Academy swimsuit for girls and was standing atop the tallest diving platform above the school swimming pool. She stared at the moon through the glass ceiling for quite a while before making a perfect dive into the pool, making a splash as she made impact with the surface.
Below on the chairs surrounding the pool, a young teenage boy with the eyes of lonely amethysts and the hair the color of charcoal, sat going through files on his laptop. To be more precise.. Top Secret Black Knight application forms from expecting members. He scrolled down a file and came upon a Britannian's application form: Diethard Ried.
"Hm? A Britannian.. ?" he asked, a bit of surprise showing in his voice. "Looks too confident to be a spy.. an extremist.. ?"
"Isn't it wonderful how the number of recruits keeps growing.. ?" the young looking woman's voice interrupted his thoughts as she floated along his edge of the pool.
"And it was simpler than I ever expected.. while I bitterly hate the Britannians, I refuse to condone terrorism.. that's the prevailing view of most Elevens."
"Then basically.. Elevens support the Black Knights for the most part.. "
"Which in turn makes it easier for us to operate as a whole.. It's a huge help that the people don't report our activities to the Britannians.. Plus, I hear some group called Kyoto offered to send us some Knightmares.. the number of informants has been increasing quickly too. The Japanese can't resist jumping on the band wagon.. They hear a well-grounded buzz word and off they go.. "
The sound of splashing water came and the woman climbed out of the side of the pool, "Hence the Knights for Justice act.. "
"Yeah, well everybody loves a hero. And what better hero than a knight.. " he looked up at the woman who was squeezing the water out of her hair as she let out a chuckle.
"I kind of doubt that's what a real knight of justice would say.. "
"You don't think so.. ?"
He clicked his laptop once again to view the next file and his eyes widened at the picture of a mask similar to his, but in the form of a female: Infinity
"What in the name of.. "
"Hmm.. ? What is it.. ?" the woman walked over to view the screen, "Well now.. what do we have here.. ?"

"Tsk.. why in the world should I accept this.. ?" he trailed the mouse over the trash button.
"Hmm.. so even in these times, there are hackers to the system.. " the woman started drying her hair with a towel.
"Hmm.. very true I suppose" he smirked about to click the trash button, a sudden pop up message stopped him.
**Infinity: I wouldn't do that if I were you.. Zero..
Lelouch's eyes widened, and he froze in place.
**Infinity: If I were you, I'd seriously reconsider my application.
"This woman.. she's.. watching me.. ?" C.C. watched in as much shock as Lelouch as they both stared at the screen.
"Maybe a.. hacker.. ?" C.C. tried to come to a conclusion.
**Infinity: No witch.. I'm not a hacker. More like a comrade.. to well consider.
**Zero: Who are you.. ? How are you watching us.. ? And how did you get this channel.. ?
**Infinity: So many questions.. Unfortunately I can't tell you that just yet..
**Zero: Then why don't you tell me why I should reconsider your application?
**Infinity: Well for one thing.. we wouldn't want your deep dark secret getting out now do we Zero.. ?
**Infinity: Or is it more appropriate for me to call you Lelouch?
Lelouch's eyes widened, "How in the world.. !" he abruptly stood up.
**Infinity: Don't drop that laptop of yours Lulu.. it looks expensive.
**Zero: Who the hell are you?
**Infinity: Now now Lulu.. no need for harsh words. You'll find out eventually.. now if I were you.. I'd seriously reconsider that application of mine hm?
'This woman.. how does she know who I am.. ? Who is she? How is she watching us.. ? It's too early to assume that I know her if she's been watching me.. dammit, one woman to ruin my plans.. '
**Infinity: I'll be seeing you soon.. your highness.
**Infinity has logged out**
"Dammit!" Lelouch slumped down on the chair and bit the tip of his thumb.
"What do you plan to do now.. ?"
"I have no choice.. I have to let her in.. " his voice was strained as he sent an acceptance letter to the returning address.
~~ In Kaguya's palace ~~
The only light in the dark room was the glow of Linamae's geass and the fading light of the open laptop. The screen shut off and only the red glow held the light in the room, but even that soon faded into the darkness.
