"Remille"- speech
It was late at night when Lelouch returned to Ashford Academy and upon arrival he went straight to his room and fell asleep once he reached the bed. The morning after he had shot Clovis, he groaned as he slowly woke up and opened his eyes to see who was shaking him to make him get up. Not surprisingly it was Sayoko Shinozaki, a Japanese maid who served directly underneath him and his younger sister ever since they had found the Ashfords only two days after the invasion of Japan and its subsequent conquering and renaming of Area Eleven. Slowly getting up, he asked her, "What is it, Sayoko? This better be important if you had to wake me up just now."
"Lelouch-sama, Lady Milly has called a Student Council meeting and won't let it begin until you arrive. Also, Jeremiah Gottwald has taken over as Temporary Viceroy of Area Eleven." she answered.
After a fast breakfast, Lelouch made his way over to the Student Council's meeting room and noticed that everyone was in there except for his sister.
After taking his seat Lelouch asked, "Alright, what is it?"
"If we don't balance the club budgets soon, there won't be money left for anything." Milly answered.
"Then why have we not done anything about this until now, Milly!? I overheard members of the Science club mention yesterday that an 'unfortunate accident' might happen to the school's water supply if they don't get a budget within twenty-four hours."
"Oh geez, then we really should have done something about this sooner!" an orange haired girl named Shirley Fenette said.
"Maybe a day later, then we would have given up." a blue-haired young man named Rivalz Cardemonde remarked.
"You. Are. A. Complete. Slacker. Rivalz. By the way, you know what will happen if Milly doesn't get what she wants or if she thinks that we're getting lazy." Lelouch said before plugging his ears and heading off.
As if the raven-haired young man had read the busty blond President of the Student Council she suddenly shouted, "GUUUUUUUTTSSSSSS!"
Everyone except Lelouch and Milly herself whimpered, but Lelouch kept a straight face and said, "About time, Milly. I was about to go get one of your more interesting motivational tools, but you saved me the trouble of doing so. That being said, we have club budgets to balance."
After about half an hour of tedious paperwork, the Student Council went off to their separate classrooms. When Lelouch got to his first class of the day, they were broadcasting the news about Shinjuku and apparently unknown hostiles had been sighted in the area. Meanwhile at the Viceroy's Office in the Administration Building, Jeremiah and his subordinate Villetta Nu were discussing recent events.
"In all honesty, I'm relieved that Clovis is alive, but what he said to me is rather troubling. Those idiotic advisors had strong-armed him into letting them order a complete massacre of the residents of the Shinjuku Ghetto and we both know that he didn't have the strength of will to make them back down." Jeremiah said with a slight frown on his face.
"How is the prince faring right now?" Villetta asked.
"His injuries are not threatening, but he is currently in shock and will make a complete recovery within two weeks, one week if we're lucky, but the point is that he's stepping down and put me in charge until his replacement arrives. If you would excuse me, I have a few calls to make."
Jeremiah got up and then left the office. Back at Ashford Academy, Lelouch knew that something was going on with Kallen Stadtfeld once he heard her say, "I hate this! I'm sick of acting like a freaking invalid!" when nobody else could see her. It was that moment Lelouch realized that the 'sickly girl' Kallen hat the school knew was a mask and that she was the pilot of the red Glasgow in Shinjuku. It was difficult, but he was able to talk to her and managed to get her to join the Student Council. On the day that Kallen joined, as usual Milly had thrown a party for the occasion.
"Dammit, this wasn't what I had planned for your introduction to the Student Council. Anyways, the President of the Student Council is Milly Ashford and in a nutshell, often gets crazy ideas." Lelouch said to Kallen.
Kallen cleared her throat before replying, "Well, that explains what's going on right now." The two students heard a door open and a wheelchair occupied by a young girl came in. At that point Lelouch, to Kallen's perspective, had abandoned the guise of a person who didn't really care about anything and became what could b only be called an incarnation of care.
"Hang on, I need to handle this. It looks like my younger sister Nunnally needs some help with whatever she's carrying." Lelouch quickly said before proceeding to help Nunnally. Afterwards, Lelouch noticed that Rivalz had somehow gotten ahold of a bottle of wine and once Shirley saw it, she got upset and demanded that Rivalz hand over the bottle to her. He refused and was tackled, but just before Shirley could grab the wine, Rivalz had tossed it to Lelouch and he was rather surprised to notice it in his grasp. This proved to be enough time for Shirley to try to wrest the bottle from the Student Council Vice President, but when she seemed to have gotten a firm grip on the wine, she tripped and fell onto the ground.
Kallen noticed two things about the situation. First; the bottle's cork was shaking and seemed ready to pop at any moment and two; it was pointed at her.
"Rivalz, consider yourself officially-" Lelouch began, but was interrupted by the wine bottle popping and the cork flew straight at Kallen, who slapped it away and didn't notice that it made her miss the incoming downpour of alcoholic beverage. It first found its target on her head, but then the pressure in the room dropped and the wine began to soak into Kallen's uniform before the flow stopped.
"Should the two of us be still alive after tomorrow Rivalz, all of us are going to the Saitama Ghetto for a Student Council trip sometime next week." Lelouch said to the blue-haired young man.
"WHAT!?" Milly asked in a surprised tone.
"Don't worry, the money for this trip's coming out of my pocket."
"I do have to ask, why Saitama of all places?" Shirley asked.
"It's relatively close to the Tokyo Settlement, albeit not as close as Shinjuku. That being said, it's almost impossible to even get into the Shinjuku Ghetto right now with Jeremiah as Temporary Viceroy. He's had the area cordoned off and has ordered police and military forces to kill anyone who tries to enter. It's still possible to leave Shinjuku, but you can no longer get in." Lelouch explained.
Meanwhile, Naoki and Remille had managed to build an Armored Core hangar in the Shinjuku Ghetto using a few easily-found materials and receiving assistance from the Kozuki Resistance cell and residents of the ghetto. As it turned out, Armored Core maintenance costs were rather cheap along with solid ammo and the 1.8 million credits that Naoki had in his Raven account on Mars translated into a staggering 1.8 trillion pounds. Remille on the other hand couldn't access her own account and as such had to leech off of Naoki's to pay for her Armored Core's maintenance fees. Both the Green Death and Remille's AC were stored in the hangar and as it turned out later, the pilot of the Lancelot was Private Suzaku Kururugi.
Suzaku had been incarcerated by the resistance and was set to remain behind lock and key until Clovis recovered, just in case the Purists tried anything funny. Sure enough, they arrested a random Honorary Britannian and announced that they had found who had wounded Clovis.
A/N: this chapter is probably shit quality, so don't bother reviewing.
