Zero and The Ace and The Two-Faced

Taizo Kirihara. Many of the Japanese, or as the Britannians like calling them, "Elevens", know him, along with Kaguya Sumeragi, Tatsunori Osakabe, Hiroyosi Yoshino, Tousai Munakata, and Hidenobu Kubouin, as traitors, collaborators who, in an attempt to retain their own wealth and power had submitted to the Colonial Government and by proxy, had thrown away their pride as sons and daughters of Japan. But very few people knew the truth, the NAC was about as loyal to Clovis's regime as the JLF was. The Six Houses of Kyoto had been funding anti-Britannian resistance groups since that fateful day the Second Pacific War had ended and Japan had been rechristened as Area 11.

At the moment, Taizo Kirihara was in his office, enjoying a meal of fine sushi and a small bottle of sake. Although he was not a person who would consume alcohol in the afternoon, the situation had demanded some, for its not everyday someone delivers a photograph to you, especially not a Britannian prince who was supposed to be dead.

Admiring the photograph, one where Suzaku, Lelouch and Kaguya were standing with Tohdoh in the Kururugi Shrine, a few tears escapdd his eyes. He had loved Lelouch like his own son, despite him being disowned and exiled by the monstrosity known as Charles zi Britannia. And after learning the fact that he was alive, he could not help but feel a sense of wonderment, and elation.

But then he noticed that the photograph reeked of alcohol, and not the one people drink, but the one used by museums to mark paintings. Taking a UV penlight, he flashed it at the photograph. There was a message!

To Taizo Kirihara, leader of the Six Houses of Kyoto.

Meet the Eleventh at midnight at Warehouse J in the Tokyo Harbor today. Do not be late. There are a few things he has been meaning to tell you.

P.S. Bring the Princess along.

Signed, The Eleventh

'Seems like the flower planted seven years ago has finally bloomed.' he said.

Zero and The Ace

After delivering the photograph, the former Demon Emperor and his Ace had opted to return to school, as the Ashford Academy festival was only a day away!

Zero and The Ace and The President and The Lovestruck and The Mechanic and The Genius

'All preperations have been made?' asked the President, as the former Demon Emperor and his Ace entered the Meeting Room, 'Yes Madam Prez.' said Shirley, 'Good! Then we can relax.', then looking at Lelouch, she said, 'Make us lunch, will you.', he refused. But seeing an opportunity, Kallen went towards his chair and sat on his lap, facing him, and said, 'Will you pleeeeeaaaaaase make us lunch?', seeing the expression on her face, he had to agree.

'Alright, I'll make us lunch, Milly, Kallen to the kitchen. Shirley, Rivalz stay here and try not to mess anything up.', he said, remembering the time Shirley had stepped into the kitchen and wreaked havoc, and how Rivalz didn't have any sense of taste.

In the kitchen, they had decided to make everyone spaghetti and meatballs.

[Sorry, gonna skip out the cooking process, frankly I'm not a cooking person.]

Zero and The Ace and The President and The Lovestruck and The Mechanic and The Genius

After everyone had eaten, Lelouch asked Milly, 'Hey, Milly, can Kallen move in with me? In the East Wing?', Rivalz took a double take when he heard this, Shirley and Nina fainted. Giving the response that was to be expected of the Demon-Queen of Ashford, Milly said, 'Oho! Look at our little Lulu! All grown up! Of course she can move in with you.', then looking at the two unconcious girls, she said, 'Lets get them to the infirmary.' and the three nodded in agreement.

Zero and The Ace and

After the two girls had been transported to the infirmary, the former Demon Emperor and his Ace were at the Stadtfeld Manor, packing all of Kallen's personal belongings. It was to be moved out in under 28 hours.

They had asked Kallen's mother to pack her personal effects up, citing the reason that the Stadtfeld Manor was getting too stifling and that they would be moving out into different accommodations appropriated by her boyfriend.

Zero and The Ace and The Two-Faced and The Japanese Princess

In a nondescript car, battered and broken with age and use, Taizo Kirihara, along with Kaguya Sumeragi were heading towards the Tokyo Harbor, Warehouse J, their men had already scouted the place out and had confirmed that this wasn't a trap.

Reaching there, they were greeted by a figure in a futuristic opera suit, with red trimming and a black cape with a spiky sigil, which could roughly be described as a sword passing through a bird in flight. The figure had a hawklike mask on with the same sigil, although elongated and less spiky, also in red. Apprehensively, Kirihara asked him, 'Who are you! And where is the Eleventh!' in Japanese, the masked figure replied, 'The Eleventh is inside. And as for my name, you may call me Zero.'

Opting to trust the masked man, they went inside the warehouse with him.

Inside the warehouse, there was a seating room, which was empty, save for a redheaded girl, the masked man then sat down next to her and said, 'Take a seat.', and they complied.

As he saw them sit, Lelouch removed the Zero mask, and said, 'The Eleventh is here, Kirihara-dono.'

'Lelouch!', said the flabbergasted Kaguya Sumeragi, as she saw her childhood crush, well and alive. He was no longer the skinny boy that had been Suzaku's best friend, sitting before her was a tall, muscular man.

Smiling, Kirihara said, 'So, the flower planted five years ago has bloomed indeed. Lelouch, if you ever need anything, as the Clan Chief of the Six Houses of Kyoto, I assure you that we will strive to do our best to procure it.', the former Demon Emperor said, 'I need two things actually, Kaguya, I will need you to arrange a meeting with General Li Xingke of the Chinese Federation for me. Kirihara-dono, I will give you the blueprints for both Sutherlands and Gloucesters, I want Kyoto to produce them for the Black Knights when I ask you to start production.', nodding her head, the Japanese Princess informed her crush that she would try to do her part.

Kirihara, with an amused expression said, 'The Black Knights? That's what you have decided to call them?', then with his trademark smirk, the former Demon Emperor replied, 'Yes, my Black Knights, Knights for Justice, an army to ground the Holy Britannian Empire to dust, an army which is to serve as an instrument for me to extract my revenge from Charles zi Britannia, an army that will liberate Japan, and an army which will mark a new era for the United States of Japan.'

Zero and The Ace and The President and The Lovestruck and The Mechanic and The Genius

After the meeting, they had gone their respective ways. Right now the Student Council was being given an impromptu lecture on chess, courtesy Milly, who had wanted the Student Council to "sharpen their minds" so that they won't have to depend on Lelouch for anything more complicated than simple addition and subtraction.

'So the black King moves to C6 to make room for the black Queen which then captures the white Bishop by moving to N2.' he said. (A cookie to anyone who guesses which chess match this refers to.) while he was terrorizing Shirley's chess peices.

Zero and The Ace

After the former Demon Emperor had beaten the entire Student Council in chess, he and Kallen were headed to collect the Black Knights uniforms. The uniforms, had remained unchanged aesthetically, but they had been improimproved a lot. They had a double weaving of Kevlar, akin to those uniforms worn by Britannian officers under their dress uniforms, capable of resisting most small arms fire, and were made of new polymer which allowed increased mobility. The black cargo pants had more pockets, as well as a gun holster. It too had a Kavlar double weaving.

'Thank you, now you may forget about it.', said the former Demon Emperor as he collected the uniforms.

After collecting he uniforms, he and Kallen had gone to the warehouse in a Geassed taxi, and had safely stowed it in a locker. The man had been made to forget everything once he had dropped them at the Ashford Academy premises. He would awaken from his Geass once he was back at the coffee shop he had picked them up from.

Yawning, the former Demon Emperor said, 'Damn I'm tired.', and his Ace replied, 'Me too. Lets just take a short nap.'

Zero

They were sleeping in Lelouch's room. The former Demon Emperor upon falling asleep was having a nightmare.

He was staring at the Emperor, who had his Geass activated, and Suzaku was holding his left eye closed, negating the usage of his Geass. 'I Charles zi Britannia engrave in you, false memories of a false life! You will forget everything about being Lelouch vi Britannia! Everything about your life at Ashford and about Lelouch Lamperouge! Everything about Nunnally. From this day onward, yout name will be Sir Julius Kingsley.', nodding at Suzaku, he said, 'Throw him back into a cell. When he wakes up, you will tell him a fabricated tale of his personal history. Before he is shipped off to serve as bait for CC, he will crush Europia United for me.'

Waking up, the former Demon Emperor found himself screaming, 'NOOOO!!!STOP IT!! NOT NUNNALLY!!', which woke Kallen up, who immediately started searching for intruders, upon seeing none, she wrapped him in a tight hug. 'Were you having a nightmare?' she asked. 'Y..yea,' he replied with a deep breath. Pulling him closer, she said, 'Just wake me up if something bothers you, okay.' and he nodded. Pulling her closer, he went back to sleep.

This time around, he found himself in a large, dimly lit room, playing chess against Julius Kingsley, 'Welcome, Lelouch. In case you haven't figured out who I am, my name is Julius Kingsley. You may call me your...inner demon.',
