"Good morning Rivalz, it's really nice to see you today." Nunnally mentioned politely.
"See? Nunally, you can see me?" Rivalz asked in shock. "That's fantastic."
Why did he show up now, this won't prove anything they said is true Kallen thought.
"Rivalz, can I ask you something?" Nunnally asked.
"Sure what is it Nunnally?" Rivalz asked as Nunnally's eye started glowing and a red crane symbol appeared in it.
"Do the next thing Kallen asks of you without any question!" Nunnally commanded.
"Yeah, no problem." Rivalz replied absently.
"Well, you heard him anything you can think of." Lelouch mentioned.
This can't be real, it must be a joke, Kallen thought before looking at Rivalz. "Ok, tell the entire school that Suzaku Kururugi will be proven innocent and the real murderers will reveal themselves."
"Sure thing, no problem." Rivalz replied walking out of the room.
"Did he just…" Kallen started in shock. "All because of that power you mentioned?"
"Yes, the power I possessed earlier but that Nunnally has now." Lelouch answered. "The power to give any person one command no matter what that command is. Nunnally and I plan on using it to defeat Britannia, find out the truth about what happened to our mother, and make this world a gentler place for everyone including the Japanese."
"Lelouch is right, we can make the world a gentler place but we need help Kallen." Nunally added.
"What do you mean, how could I help you?" Kallen asked. "I don't have that kind of power."
"No, you don't, but we both know that neither a blind schoolboy or a girl confined to a wheelchair can operate a Knightmare Frame." C.C. explained. "The power Nunnally possesses requires direct eye contact to work, something that is impossible when the enemy is inside their Knightmares."
"In other words we're supposed to fight your battles for you." Kallen summarized. "Then you use that power after the fact."
"Unfortunately for now that's true." Lelouch replied. "Nunnally and I can't pilot a Knightmare Frame."
"How do I know this isn't a set-up and that the Britannians aren't going to barge in that door right now?" Kallen questioned.
"Attention all students of Ashford Academy, this is your student council secretary Rivalz Cardemonde." Rivalz voice suddenly stated over the intercom. "I'm sure you've all heard about what happened to Prince Clovis."
"Wait, is he about to tell everyone that Suzaku didn't kill Prince Clovis?" Kallen questioned in disbelief.
"Yes, Nunnally commanded him to do the next thing you said without asking any questions. You told him to tell the school Suzaku was innocent and that the real killer would make their identity known to the world." C.C. answered.
"Wait, but if everything you've been saying is true and you are a Britannian prince then the Britannian soldiers will recognize you and never believe you were the one to kill Clovis." Kallen pointed out.
"We don't need to show our faces, we already have a plan to convince both the public and the soldiers escorting Suzaku that I was the real killer." Lelouch answered. "Though like I said we'll need you and your allies to cooperate with us."
This seems almost too good to be true, then again so far everything they said looks like it's true. Still, can we really trust the Britannians. Kallen thought.
"The fact is Honorary Britannian Suzaku Kururugi wasn't the one responsible for his death. The real murderer is going to reveal their identity soon." Rivalz stated over the intercom.
"Well, you've seen that Nunnally's power of Geass works exactly as Lelouch told you." C.C. pointed out calmly.
"Fine, I'll believe you but that still doesn't prove you can convince the Britannians to hand over Suzaku Kururugi." Kallen stated. "Just two of us will go with you to make the judgment call."
"That's fine, if for whatever reason you feel it isn't wise to trust us you have my word that nothing about your group will be revealed." Lelouch told her. "Nunnally, C.C. and I will keep it secret, we just ask you keep our identities secret as well."
"You mean the fact that the two of you are members of the Britannian royal family?" Kallen assumed.
"Yes, can you please keep that secret." Nunnally requested.
"Alright, but if you three do end up helping us the others deserve to know everything." Kallen replied. 'Ohgi should definitely hear about all of this.'
"That's true, they do." Lelouch agreed. "Would a meeting tomorrow at Tokyo Tower work to explain how we'll rescue Suzaku?"
"Alright, we'll be there tomorrow." Kallen answered.
"Thank you very much Kallen." Nunnally mentioned with a smile before Kallen nodded and left the room.
"You know she doesn't trust a word either of you said right?" C.C. inquired.
"I'm not surprised, Britannia hasn't exactly made a good impression on Japan." Lelouch noted. "We'll need to earn her trust as we go, and the first step is saving Suzaku's life."
"You're right Lelouch, so will they be meeting us or will they be meeting those two?" Nunnally asked.
"We need to keep our identities secret in case they decide against cooperating with us." Lelouch explained. "For the time being, we'll have to hide our names and our faces from the world behind masks."
"Behind masks, you mean tomorrow they'll appear for the first time?" C.C. asked calmly.
"Yes, Kallen and her associate won't meet with Lelouch Vi Britannia and Nunnally Vi Britannia." Lelouch stated calmly. "They're going to meet with Zero the man who murdered Viceroy Clovis, and Infinity, the woman who will change the world."
"The names could use some work but they get the point across, a man who can work a miracle and have the Britannians hand over their prisoner, and a woman with the power to do anything she sets her mind to." C.C. noted.
"Exactly, there's no way of knowing the future but what we do know is that tomorrow we're going to convince them to help us and we will save Suzaku." Lelouch stated calmly.
(Nunnally has shown Kallen what Geass is capable of and she has cautiously agreed to assist them in rescuing Suzaku Kururugi. Next chapter Zero and Infinity will make themselves known to Kallen and Ohgi and the plan to rescue Suzaku will be established. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
