At the Hospital Room Lelouch said "Are you the Captain of the USS Enterprise?" he asked, looking at him.
Kirk looked him up and down, unsure about the getup as Zero, then answered him. "Yes. I'm Captain James T. Kirk. Can I help you?"
"Yes, you can," he said, opening the compartment on his mask to let out the Geass power on Kirk. "You will tell me where you came from, and what kind of technology your country has in its arsenal..."
Kirk, under the Geass, then had his eyes turned red said "The United Federation of Planets originated from the Solar System, Earth. "
"Earth," thought Lelouch, somewhat stunned. "But, how could that be? We are on Earth- unless- no it couldn't be..."
"Earth is the capital planet of the Federation. It's also where the President and his Federation Council meet, and the location of the Federation Starfleet, " said Kirk under the control of the Geass as he stared over at Lelouch in a gaze from the trance it had him under.
"What Is The Federation?" asked Lelouch, narrowing his eyes at Kirk from behind the mask as Zero.
"The United Federation of Planets is an interstellar state composed of 155 member states, colonies, protectorates, and other planetary governments unified under the goals of universal liberty, justice, equality, trade, exploration, scientific advancement, peace, and mutual protection. The most powerful state in local space, the Federation encompassed 8,000 light-years and is by far the largest state in the known Alpha and Beta Quadrants."
"Okay, but what is the Federation Council and the Federation President?" asked Lelouch, interested as he placed his hands on the rainilg, gripping them as he continued to look Kirk in the eyes.
"The President is the Heads of State and Government of the United Federation of Planets, and the Federation Council is the legislative body that takes care of the bureaucratic section of the Federation government. The President also serves as the Commander in Chief of all Federation's Armed Forces, including the Starfleet. He's also responsible for overseeing the political, economical, social and cultural policies of the Federation. He can receive Foreign Ambassadors from other nations and planets and declare martial law on Federation Member worlds, only in cases of emergencies. The Federation President is also responsible for the judicial affairs of the Federation, overseeing court-martials in which the Federation Council serves as the judge."
Lelouch took a moment to take it all in and think before going on to his next question. " What kind of Techongly does this Federation offer?" Lelouch asked.
"I cannot reveal any of that information to you," said Kirk.
"And why not?" asked Lelouch angrily as he gripped the railing even harder.
"Under Starfleet General Order 1, we are expected to enforce the principles of non-interference in culture's internal affairs, natural development and progression. It's also a punishable offense for a Federation Starfleet officer to interfere with the social order of any of the Prime Directive by a possible maximum sentence, unless there is sufficient justification that can be made for the violation. Even when Starfleet personnel have ignored this order based on moral or ethical grounds, it's believed to do a lot more good than harm," he explained while still under the trance of Geass, under Lelouch's control. "Within the same Directive, it is stated that members of the Starfleet are forbidden from interfering in the internal affairs of another species, especially the natural development of pre-warp civilizations by direct intervention or technological revelation. Starfleet personnel are also forbidden from identifying themselves or their mission with the social development of another planet. It's also forbidden to make references to other worlds, advanced civilizations, or space in general. It is required that Starfleet personnel should respect the cultures of other worlds, and must make any sacrifices necessary in order to prevent contamination of said culture."
Lelouch, frustrated and disappointed with Kirk, turned off his Geass, making Kirk fall asleep instantly.
"Allowing cultures to develop on their own is one thing, but the thing is that they're already here on the planet," thought Lelouch angrily.
" I see you're not getting anything out of him, aren't you, Lelouch?" said C.C., who just appeared behind the door with her arms crossed and her typical nonchalant expression on her face and in her eyes.
"Another World, another Earth," said Lelouch, looking shocked. "No war, no hatred, there's no need for people like me in that world if peace already exists somewhere."
FLASHBACK
Prince Clovis looks Lelouch in the eyes, desperate for he knew his life could end then and there, no, will end. He pleads desperatley to his half brother, "Even though we have different Mothers, we're still blood."
Flashback Ends As a Gunshot was heard in the background.
"Come C.C. We're leaving," said Lelouch as he left the hospital room. C.C. only looked at Kirk's sleeping body, and then left as well.
Meanwhile back outside the Enterprise:
C4 was currently in a heated argument with Suzaku. To him, the little stuck up thinks he is all high and mighty just because he's the knight of a Princess, but he knows a lot. Suzaku thought that C4 was a womanizer and didn't give a damn if the things he were saying was true. C4 was going to bring this up really but he decided to go for it.
"You know, Japan has gone through more than you could even imagine in my timeline, you little twerp," C4 told Suzaku with hatred in his eyes and a grim expression on his face. "Do you remember me talking to you about how Japan was the only nation in the world to have been struck by nuclear weapons twice? One of the targets was Hiroshima, where the first bomb was dropped. Before it was incinerated by the nuclear bomb, it was an industrial and logistical hub of the Japanese homeland, and I could also say that it's one of the places where the US Air Force didn't bomb the place yet. All of Hiroshima's houses were made of wood, so it's an easy target for a firebombing campaign."
"So basically, they knew along that they were going to be bombed. Typical of those guys back then," said Darlton with an interested face that suggested that he knew more than he was letting off about the whole past of Japan.
C4 continued to speak. "Well, Hiroshima wasn't the only planned target, you see. Three other cities, like Nagasaki, Kokura and Niigata, were also held as potential targets too. August 6 was chosen as the date because the US Air Force had a serious problem with the weather. One of the aircraft that dropped the bomb was named Enola Gay, after theAir Force colonel's mother. Necessary Evil was the other aircraft that had the second bomb. The atomic bombing of Hiroshima had destroyed the city, almost wiping it off the face of the Earth. Along with the destruction, 80,000 civilians were killed. Now, imagine Britannia possessing those bombs, if they were to drop it on a city in a hostile country, they would have slaughtered numerous amount of people. Add another country with nuclear capabilities, you have a Mutually Assured Destruction. In any case, possessing nuclear weapons could lead to the end of human civilization on this planet," he said seriously.
Suzaku looked horrifed. He had to live through the Brittanian Invasion, but from what he's heard just now, it was madness.
"Trust me, Pal, it gets worse," said C4 as he noticed Suzaku's surprised expression. "The second target was originally Kokura, but because of the clouds that were obstructing the view of the target, combined with the low fuel the aircraft bearing the Fat Man had left on its fuel tanks, they had to drop the bomb onto Nagasaki. Once again, a lot of people died in that blast. However, their troubles were just beginning. You see, with nuclear explosions comes along nuclear radiation sickness. Trust me, kiddo. You don't want to get radiation under your skin. It could make your slow death invisibly painful to the extent where you are asking someone to put your sorry ass out of misery."
Suzaku at this point was shaking uncomfortably. He was trying to protect his nation only to find that it has gone through hell and back. Well, in this parallel universe, that is.
"We haven't gotten to the Tip of the Iceberg yet," said C4 as Suzaku grew pale at his story, now that he was no longer just interested. He was really curious and shocked at what happened to C4's version of Japan. "There was an earthquake in Fukushima Prefecture back in 2011. There were many people who died in that quake, plus it triggered yet another nuclear crisis not seen since the end of our World War Two. Of course, it's also one of the costliest earthquakes in human history."
Suzaku's eyes widen at that amount of money lost. "How could they rebuild their lives without having to bankrupt themselves?" he asked, finding himself concerned for something that happened years ago and was now alright, though he couldn't help it.
"Only time will tell on that tale, Suzaku. Four nuclear reactors were forced to shut down because the cooling system broke from the quake and the tsunami. Despite the fact that Japan is the most prepared nation in the world, it wasn't prepared for this kind of nuclear crisis. Some of the radiation from the nuclear reactors that exploded nearly reached North America, yet it dissipated because of the weather," C4 continued to explain. Suzaku felt like he was going to throw up after listening to this information.
"What a tragic story," Suzaku whispered to himself, but C4 still heard him.
"Trust me, kiddo. It was a rough period for Japan," said C4 as he noticed Cornelia and Euphemia come out. "Looks like our favorite visitors are back."

Kirk was awake now, even though Lelouch had made it rough for him with that Geass of his. It had made him even more tired than it needed to, and it made it even more necessary for him to rest. Really, he was concerned about his ship and his crew more than anything. He just wanted to see if they were all okay.
Cornelia soon went in with Euphemia and Darlton. C4 and Suzaku decided to stay behind. C4 because he wasn't suppose to be on the ship in the first place and Suzaku to keep an eye on C4 and to hear more of his stories about the history of Japan in their parallel universe or whatever you wanna call it.
Cornelia looked down at Kirk with her eyes narrowed and started with introducing herself.
"You're the Capitan of the Enterprise, am I correct?" she asked, looking over at him with her eyes narrowed in a demanding way that almost intimidated him, but only almost.
"Yes, Mam, but may I ask who it is that I'm speaking to?" he asked back as he attempted to sit up in his hospital bed.
"My name is Cornelia li Britannia, and this is my sister, Euphemia li Britannia. We're princesses form the Holy Britannian Empire, and I'm Viceroy of Area 11. My sister here is the Sub Viceroy," she said, gesturing over to Euphie when she mentioned her name.
Kirk nodded his head. "I'm pleased to meet you. Now, since you have me here and you mentioned it only a moment ago, I can't help but believe that you know something about my ship and crew."
"Of course," she replied with a nod of her own head. "Your ship crashed back into our stadium as we were conducting a ceremony for our Special Administrative Zone of Japan. You've missed quite a lot, and it will take quite a long while to explain it all, and I will give you the full story in time, I can grantee that, but as of right now I can only give you bits and pieces. Heck, I don't even understand the full picture yet, but I'm getting there. I will most definitely need some pieces of information from you, though."
"Then please, tell me what it is that you do know," Kirk said, looking over at Cornelia and then Euphemia.
"Very well," she said, taking a seat next to him in a nearby chair while Euphemia merely stood there and observed their conversation.

C.C. followed behind Lelouch in his Zero costume over to the seats that were not destroyed while the Enterprise was crashing. It was the seats that supporters of the SAZ were sitting in. It was there that Lelouch sat, observed, and became content with his own thought.
C.C. stood up near him and gazed upon the scene as well, though she did more than he did when it came to taking it all in. Then, she looked over at Lelouch. "It ruined all of your plans for you, the Special Zone, and Euphemia. What is it that you plan on doing now that it's all gone?" she asked nonchalantly as she looked over at him with carefree eyes that looked half asleep, though they were alert and aware of the surroundings.
He didn't answer at first. He just thought about the entire situation and looked down at what was going on.
"Lelouch?" she said when he didn't answer.
Then, he looked up at her with narrowed, serious eyes, his hand holding up his head from around the edge of his face and his arm propped up on the armrest. He groaned, then began to speak. "It's going to be even more complicated now that everything's changed, but that doesn't mean that it's not manageable. I'll be able to fulfill my plans as Zero, but for now, I am the ally of the Britannian Empire. No one has contacted the Black Knights out there, and that's been a bit of an advantage. It means that we don't yet have to disarm, and I need armed forces for when or even if it becomes necessary."
"So, are you just going to leave them there in their Knightmares?" asked C.C., placing a hand on her hip.
"No," he replied. "They will stay there until I tell them that they may leave, which I'm not yet sure when that's going to be. I need them as backup."
"Alright," C.C. replied, "so what is your plans with the Enterprise and the crew?"
"Hmph. I should've known that you would ask that. I should've just told you when I was talking a moment ago," he said, a bit more relaxed as he raised his eyebrows and smiled a bit.
"Then quit stalling and tell me," C.C. said with a slight grin as she took a seat next to him in one of the other chairs.
Lelouch looked out on the scene. "I plan to take the Enterprise crew and make them apart of the Black Knights. I feel that their advanced technology and ways of thinking should prove useful in a War against Britannia, of course I still need to take the spotlight of being a messiah away from Euphemia first, but since that plan was shattered, I need to figure out how I'm going to fix that. I could probably still have the same actions done, just at a different time and location, and once I become the messiah of Japan, I can use the Enterprise crew to help me along. Tokyo was already more advanced than most of the world, coming up with most of the new technology, but they could increase it all ten fold. The thing is, thing's aren't the way that they use to be. Now, whatever goes on here is under direct control of Britannia."
"So, are you planning on bringing up the Technological Industry here?" asked C.C., crossing her legs.
"No," he replied. "I merely want to use them for the Black Knight purposes, and then when I'm finished with them, they can do what they wish. The advancements that the Black Knights use with them, though, should help the industry of Japan anyways. They'll most likely get their hands on it. That's what I was thinking about when I was talking about that."
"So, how is it that you plan to get them on your side when they're still not sure of anything? For all you know, they could decide to go over to the Britannian side," C.C. replied, merely giving him something to ponder about, but he already had.
"I thought about that. I talked to Darlton, and he said that Cornelia might have ideas for them. I spoke with Darlton while I was on the ship, and he stated that decisions regarding people from other worlds, from other planets, and things along that nature would probably be to big for just the Princess and Viceroy to make. Honestly, I'm not sure if I agree with that or not, but whatever plans they might come up with, I can almost grantee that they won't let them return home. It would also depend on whether or not the Emperor takes any part in this. There are a lot of factors that you need to add up when it comes to this. I might need to use Geass in order to get them completely on my side, though I've already talked with Scotty and McCoy, the engineer and doctor of the ship. I've already used it on the Captain, so maybe if I could find the second in command, that would be of great help. Maybe I could Geass him into coming over to my side."
"But then the question comes, who is the second in command?" asked C.C.
Lelouch stood up and gazed upon the scene once again, then looked back over at C.C. "That's what we're going to find out."
TBC? Please R&R!XD ~C.C.
