"Woah, woah, woah, wait a second, is no one but me concerned about his wound!?"

C.C. turned to look at Kallen. "Although disturbing, Lelouch has a code, he is immortal, every code barer carries a scar, weather mental, or physical, visible or not, usually a wound or ailment they had from their final moments, I have one myself, he will be fine."

"Can we at least give him pain killers or something?"

"It wouldn't work, his code would instantly remove any and all foreign objects in order to protect the body, even if it wouldn't hurt him." The green haired woman explained.

"It doesn't really bother me anyways, unless pressure is put on it, ill be ok Kallen."

"Fine, but I still think we should try something." Kallen insisted.

"A gel that sooths skin on contact with the surface might work, something analogous to Aloe-Vera, but anything that would enter the blood stream via injection, or cough syrup like substances, or pills, all of those would be useless. Food is fine because the body, and in turn his code, recognizes that it is part of daily life, our diet, but doesn't allow fat or harmful chemicals to accumulate, how do you think I blew so much of his money on pizza?" C.C. finished with a smirk.

"Witch." Lelouch grumbled.

"Warlock." C.C. teased back.

Kallen frowned internally, not liking that medicine couldn't help him, and slightly jealous at how easily the two spoke to one another.

"As much as I would absolutely love to catch up with you nii-sama, we need to explain some things." Nunnally said.

A royal guard captain walked toward her she then proceeded to pull a small silver key out of an equally small box that he had presented to her, she then used said key to open a cabinet below the conference table, and pulled out several maps, along with documents and blueprints, all of which had "classified" stamped somewhere on them.

"Its a stupid question, I know, but you DID see the wall, correct?" Nunnally asked.

"Yes, I don't see how anyone could miss it."

"I'm going to give a simple explanation first, and if you need me to elaborate on anything don't be afraid to ask."

Lelouch gave a nod.

"Barely a week after you... left... several different political parties began to pop up, all of them fighting each other in one way or another, and all of them opposed my taking of the throne. Ater some time passed... some turned peaceful, some disappeared, some just gave up, but one always stood strong, they called themselves "The Reclaimers" and insisted that I was not the rightful, nor was I a worthy keeper of the throne, they first started with active protests and boycotts of anything I endorsed..."

"And then it turned to shit." Tamaki added.

"Not how id put it, but, that is what happened for the most part." Nunnally continued. After the protests it quickly and suddenly switched to armed attacks, fires where being set to shops that served former numbers, trains and factories ransacked, sometimes they even sabotaged major airports, no one was safe, and the group was growing more powerful by the day, from disgruntled citizens to AWOL Brittanian military personnel, they got their hands on military grade equipment, and used it, everything from pistols to APC's and even a few knightmares, they attacked in the most unexpected places, I had to place full martial law into effect several times."

Lelouch scowled at the story, his mood getting visibly worse as she continued to speak.

"Eventually, I had no choice but to try and appease them, I put the message out that we could talk about the problems they had and come to a solution. We met in the palace, myself and their leader, a man named Claden Wolfsbain, he was barely out of his teens, about your age actually, he said that the attacks would only stop if he was given land, and all of the resources it contained, he wanted the western half of the empire, and I was so tired of all the destruction an death, I agreed, and now Brittania is split in two. Its all my fault really, I thought I was making the best decision for everyone. But in reality I was naïve and desperate for an out. I'm sorry Lelouch, I ruined the world you made." Nunnally began to sob quietly.

Lelouch knelt down and held her close in a hug.

"Shhh, no, it's not your fault, it's his, It will be ok."

"Will you help?"

Lelouch turned to see none other than his older sister, Cornelia, standing in the doorway.

"... You look terrible."

Cornelia rolled her eyes and let out a not so lady-like snort. She didn't deny it though, she had dark circles under her eyes, and several strands of her once vibrant purple locks had turned grey, more than likely from stress.

"I feel like shit, but I asked a question."

"I had hoped that I could avoid war for at least a little while... but it would seem I'm needed again."

Lelouch stood from his hug with Nunnally, whom had stopped crying, and grabbed several of the documents laying on the large conference table. He spread them out, and as he examined them, Kallen and C.C. couldn't help but smile, seeing the Lelouch they remember dust off the cobwebs and get back into gear.

Kallen began to speak. "Our main problems are as follows, first, the wall, it's huge, and goes from one side of the empire to the other, top to bottom, a foot of solid carbon-steel plating on each side reinforced with almost thirty feet of industrial concrete in the middle, so we cant punch through it, can't go around thanks to a large naval fleet, and anti air missiles, along with an opposing air force means we can't go over it."

"Then there's our economy, not only did we lose half of our income, we also lost a large portion of our population, and we are starved on resources. None of the other nations are willing to help, not even the U.N.F. I'm not sure why, but if I would have to guess it's because all the other nations still hold grudges against the empire."

"Stuck between a rock and a hard place, almost nothing to work with, and bleeding out on options by the day." Lelouch said calmly.

"In a nutshell, yes." Cornelia said.

"... What do you have in terms of explosives?"

"We have tons of un-exploded ordinance from the old military, most of them where stored in the western half... but there are still few warehouses chock-full of it, why?" Cornelia asked.

"The wall is a symbol, much like I was when I was zero, I represented the ideals that the new empire was meant to be, the wall is the opposite, it divides us, alienates us, destroys us, I'm going to blow it to kingdom-come."

"It's a nice thought, but we can't get anywhere near it-" Kallen began

Lelouch grinned.

"My dear queen, I am the miracle worker here, never tell me something is impossible, because I'll prove you wrong, I've already got a plan..."
