"CC, explain everything that has happened since my vanishment."
"United States of Japan."
"...? I understand with your purpose. But why would they still need ZERO? "
"Britannia has declared war on the United States of Japan, more precisely, they never recognized the independence of United States of Japan. They have given military emergency status to Area 11, and now when I'm talking even now, Britannia has moved troops toward the United States territorial waters of Japan. And forces from Area 1 formerly called Oahu, have invaded Sakhalin. And also the main force of Britannia has been approaching from southeastern territorial water of United States of Japan. I heard that this invasion will be led by Rounds. "
"And ...? And what about the military strength of United States of Japan? "
"Most are leftover from the Britannia invasion. Not counting the navy armada (ships) and tanks, they are KMF Generation 4 and 5. And Burai as well. "
"Rhaksata?"
"Returned to Chinese Federation, along with Diethard."
"Nunnaly, where is Nunnaly?"
"I did not know."
"So what's your plans next?"
C.C. show a face of feigned surprise and said "Wow ... Lelouch ... is it not a time for ZERO's role. After all, this is the duty of ZERO. Well ... for more details ... You, or more precisely ZERO presence in the United States is needed Japan. Therefore, please think a plan to get there. "
Lelouch looked at her, but he abandoned his intent to retort back at C.C., voicing his disbelief at C.C.'s reckless idea of not-having a plan and simply pushed that responsibility to him due to the arrival of the Guren and Lancelot Club.

KMF Vincent had just entered the Great Underground Chamber. But inside the giant room is just ... .. darkness there…. And hollow Emptiness. It is really surprising for the Vincent Pilot, considering that if you see his radar visualization, he detected the presence of 3 KMF (not counting himself). The IFF indicates that these unknown KMF visual presence are Allies / friends. The pilot Vincent tried to be careful ... he's looking at the situation, and decided to ignored existence of those underground KMF as allies. He become more and more careful, because even though the Great Chamber is a broad field , but a place like this does not reduce the possibility of hiding places that are not visible for naked eyes. It is Often said in a game of Tag that the best hiding place is a place closest with the hunter, who did not realized it.
And when the KMF Vincent approached even more further, suddenly, the smoke rise and this time followed by flashes of light. By reflex, the pilot moved the Vincent to backward, but what happens is the pillar that held the room began collapsing one by one starting from the farthest distance from the KMF Vincent, and while the pilot tried to gain visibility from the KMF, he saw at a glance that a blue and red KMF shoot at his direction as he retreated, and behind them is a KMF, colored black with a gold-colored horned head, moving away from the room the Great Chamber. And in the end, both those knightmare frame that tries to shoot at him are apparently that both of them deliberately shot at random directions and also aiming the ceiling. Seems like they are shooting something. And then, with a loud explosion noise, the gas pipes installed at the chamber ceiling , used to manage the process of sanitization and desalinization emitted a loud explosion. It is inevitable, the Vincent will unlikely to survive an explosion like that.

"Rai, who was that Knightmare who come after us?" Lelouch Lamperouge ... no…. at this time he has been using his persona as ZERO to ask his faithful follower
"I do not know the full identity. All I can guess is ... he is an agent of the Britannia Intelligence Office. Luckily he was not a Rounds. His movements are too careless. And ... ZERO, one of Britannia Intelligence agent who I previously opposed is...a Geass user. I do not know the details of his strength, but I can say that, that kind of skill is impossible for an ordinary people movement.
"Hmm .. I saw that your movement had been halted and left silent. I can guess a little what is his power ... And We can't say that we are safe. "
"Eh ...? What do you mean ... Lel…..ZERO ? Isn't he dead? "This time Kallen was surprised with ZERO's words.

Let's turn back the clock for a moment. Let us return at the moment when the shower of bullet shot from the Guren and Lancelot Club hit the gas pipe, and cause an explosion there.
The pilot of the Vincent, now can feel that soon he will die, until he saw something slides at the barrage of fire. It was something launched from his rear. Actually, near the passage of the Great Chamber, where Vincent entered to this room. A Small explosion is heard, and suddenly the gas explosion that is expected to happened vanished without a trace. Just Like a dream or illusion. But the charred black room chamber proves that the expected gas pipeline explosion are meant to happened. The thing left on the wall are jet-black, charred like burnt, but without residual fire.
The pilot of Vincent look around him feeling insecure and try to understand what had saved him from the death. He's just one step closer to the door of death but suddenly pulled away. And after this what he saw will make him remorse and regret living. He was surprised, didn't expected what he saw right now. A feel of fear, from just seeing someone who turned out to save him, no fear is not the right word. Terror. A KMF- a black Gloucester ,his IFF showed him that the Gloucester is an Ally. But for the pilots, he feared not the existence of this five generations KMF, but the pilots amount inside, right now. Because the sight that the black Gloucester bears Zaettel Buffers and carried a particular Jousting Lance like what he saw right now. Among any Britannia, this Gloucester was only controlled by "That Particular Pilot."
"Hhhhhhhh... .. You's really useless Agent. " a sound of disappointed, no an expected disappoint sounding voice . a sound of insult contained with a cold and nasty tone. Thes e insult addressed to the Vincent's pilot, but he did not dare to givea reply and just bowed their heads. Cowered in fear.
"Despite the failure of the mission, you could not even save your own. Maybe I should have give this mission to another agent? Of course your "role" will be replaced .. ... "

The pilot of Gloucester let out her nasty taunts and insults with a small, cold laugh... ..
Anyone who hears those insult will likely become angry (and of course!), but the feeling of the Vincent's pilot, even though covered by his Knightmare Frame, a scent of fear can be felt and detected. even at this time ... his whole body trembled in fear.
The Black Gloucester pilot stop her cold laught, back in a normal tone "... You're lucky. The Target won't be able to run away. You will continue your role. "The pilot said as if nothing happened before . Turned and walked away with her Black Knightmare Frame.
The pilot of Vincent aware of The Gloucester pilot's departure (more precisely his superiors and even leaders of his organization, Britannia Intelligence Office). Just now, He has witnessed the ability of a ROUNDS.

"What is certain, is currently it is not possible to directly return to the United States Japan, using only three Knightmare Frame. And I do not think that you would be this careless , not preparing any back-up plan for transportation. "
"E…to ... C.C. why can't we use "That-I-don't-know-thing" that we use before, to bring us back in a flash?"Kallen tries to give suggestions
"Uh ... You want us to get caught in a flash? Honestly I planned to use "That-you-don't-know-thing" because our presence is not one would thought that we will use it. But now ... Thanks to Miss Exploding and Big Bang ... That "That-you-don't-know-thing" becomes impossible to use. I'm not surprised if this time "That-you-don't-know-thing" are being watched and they knew aboout it, other than that we have been involving Britannia Intelligence Office "A sarcastic reply from CC
Hearing that answer, Kallen want to retort That it is Indeed not her fault, but seeing the circumstance, it is not possible. They should immediately think of a way to deliver ZERO to United States of Japan. But because of the accident, it is impossible. This uproar that destroyed all their plans. They should've kidnapped Lelouch and returned to the United States of Japan secretly.
But Kallen was not aware that Lelouch has another reason to not allow himself to openly show the world ,once again as ZERO. Since Suzaku managed to catch him and turn him to Britannia, and his father, the Emperor of Britannia, he has realized that if he appears to the world as ZERO, while Lelouch Lamperouge disappeared , it would means that Britannia already know about ZERO, rather than ZERO official status as executed. especially Britannia Intelligence Office. There is No way they put the surveillance on the boy student who has no value, they already know the identity of ZERO. And if Lelouch Lamperouge disappeared along with the emergence of ZERO, this means it would threaten Nunnally's life. This is the less wanted thing for Lelouch Lamperouge. The boy who created and shape ZERO to fight the world for the sake of realizing her sister wish. So if he wants his sister to be safe while continuing ZERO's existence then he needs to think of ways in the order when ZERO reappear, Lelouch Lamperouge did not disappear.

At the residence the Baron Lamperouge, Lelouch Lamperouge hired people who were originally purchased with the intention releasing them, but the slaves choose to work for the Lamperouge .No wonder, considering that the Baron and his brother treat these workers better than other Britannia nobility. But of course the position as the Baron did not make this Lamperouge siblings get a respectable position in the hierarchy of Britannia society. They still despised as the lowest of aristocracy . but approached as a good businessman. This is the irony of Britannia society.
Baron Lelouch Lamperouge, currently felt tired and when he got home he just wants to lie down, until he was greeted by her brother, Rollo Lamperouge. Rollo Lamperouge felt relieved to see his brother had arrived home safely, but no one knows what is inside someone's heart. Because inside Baron Lamperouge mind right now is….
