"So the day is finally here" Zero said at his base of operations more commonly known as Trans-Ops as it also housed the main base for the Autobots during their stay on Earth.
"I know finally the first step in the revival of Japan as a nation, free from Britannia's rule, isn't wonderful?" Kallen asked
"I'm sure it will be" Zero said smiling underneath his mask.
Somewhere foreign in a place that looked like some sort of skyward temple a purple mech stood there looking at a young human
"Do you understand?" he asked the mech after explaining his plan
"Understood" the mech said
"Good because he will be most unpleased" the young human said looking at the permanent golden sky
"I understand and may he rise again to glory" the mech said disappearing through a gate to an unknown location.
In the government building Euphie was nervous.
"What if something goes wrong, what if they hate me for this, what if?" she kept asking while pacing nervously back and forth
"They'll enjoy and absolutely adore for giving them a shard of freedom?" Suzaku said placing his hands on Euphie's shoulders and looked deeply into her eyes
"I wouldn't need to panic?" Euphie asked as if this wasn't the first panic attack
"Exactly, they've waited along for this" Suzaku smiled before kissing her madly and tenderly.
"Lord Megatron?" Starscream asked looking around his chambers
"Come Starscream" Megatron said
"My lord it is good to see you back in that form" Starscream said looking at Megatron
"Yes it is now what have you to report since I was last out" Megatron said turning to face Starscream
"Euphemia has finally an area where the two fighting factions shall be at peace" Starscream said
"Hm, have Soundwave and Ravage revert to their normal forms while you and the others scan worthy vehicles to hide in" Megatron ordered as Starscream moved out "Soon my master's will shall be done and this world shall end and our glorious race shall thrive on the burning slag deposits that was once cities and these worthless organics shall be nothing but pets and slaves and soon other worlds shall follow creating The Great Decepticon Empire with my master as Emperor" Megatron said smiling.
"Autobots today our mission is the protection of those gathered here and to make sure this transaction is completed to specific guidelines" Optimus said
"Sir, may I ask what if the Decepticons show their villainous faces?" Silverbolt asked
"Protect the humans, for as you know Freedom is the right of all Sentient Beings!" Optimus declared
"For Freedom!" Jazz said
"For Justice" Ironhide said
"For Peace!" Silverbolt said
"FOR PRIME!" they all said saluting in respect
"Thank you my friends, this day means a lot to a lot people, for this is the first step of a new Nation and peacetime" Optimus said
"Now Autobots Roll Out!" Optimus ordered.
"Today we are reporting live from the new Special Administration Zone of Japan for the grand opening of this truly revolutionary idea thought up by Princess Euphemia who as words have it has invited Zero the Commander of the Black Knights to open the zone" A Journalist said overlooking the zone as officials and generals of both Britannia and Japan meet
"Come on where is he?" Suzaku asked as the Gawain Knightmare frame appeared,
"Sorry I am late I had to make sure some of our friends don't gatecrash" Zero said stepping off and bowing to Euphie
"Please Zero may I have a word in private?" Euphie asked leading him away.
"Of course your highness" Zero said bowing in respect
"Now, then shall we get down to business?" Lelouch asked removing his mask
"Yes, I have decided to stand down and renounce my title" Euphie said shocking her brother
"You can't!" Lelouch said sternly,
"Why not?" Euphie asked
"Because without you who knows how long the Zone will last, if you go they could shut it down but then again you will probably ask me to be the Administrator?" Lelouch said
"There's nothing to hide from you, but there is that Geass thing, I'm curious when you used it on us at Kamine Island I was unaffected" Euphie said
"I was only targeting Suzaku because I knew he would make sure you both lived" Lelouch said happily
"Now Lelouch will you join me?" Euphie asked hopeful
"Yes Euphie, I'll accept your proposal" Lelouch said shaking Euphie's hand
"Very well Administrator Zero; your new duties await" Euphie announced walking out after Lelouch put his helmet back on before he felt a shooting pain
"What was that?" he asked.
Outside Euphemia and Zero walked out onto the balcony to the roar of a cheering crowd
"Good people of Japan I hereby announce this special Administrative Zone Open..." Euphie stopped and looked up to see a new mech "Hello?" she asked curiously before she was covered in a purple light
"Dear sweet Euphemia; I, Mindghost of the Decepticon army hereby order you to wipe out the people gathered here who call themselves Japanese" Mindghost hypnotised Euphie
"I will obey my Lord" Euphie droned out as if she was a robot, shooting an elderly man.
"EUPHIE!" Suzaku said
"PRINCESS EUPHEMIA; WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Guilford asked
"Euphie snap out of it!" Zero said shaking Euphie
"I must wipe out the Japanese" Euphie once again droned as the officials left leaving the high ranking officers and other soldiers behind
"She won't stop until she's completed her task stupid Human" Mindghost taunted
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?" Zero barked
"Just told her the truth that she must wipe these people out and then after that the rest of them creating the first step in the takeover of the Decepticon armies" Mindghost said
"MINDGHOST!" Jazz said launching his Slash Harkens
"Hello Autobot, now stand down!" Mindghost tried to hypnotise him but Jazz dodged at the last second
"No Way! You no good Freak!" Jazz said as Grimlock came in with his lance pointed at Mindghost
"Stupid Neanderthal" Mindghost said warping away.
Zero was dodging bullets and concrete shrapnel
"I have to get to her!" Zero said looking at where Euphie was standing, "But how to get her to stop?" Zero asked himself as got a close distance "Euphie!" Zero said
"Oh, it's you so tell me are you willing to help?" Euphie asked with a blank like stare in her eyes
"Euphemia Li Britannina I, Zero order you to stop!" Lelouch roared unleashing his Geass at Euphie,
"I don't think so" Mindghost said making his hand glow as a barrier surrounded Euphie blocking the Geass "Now my dear it's time for the rest of this scum" Mindghost said as an alien ship came into view "Ah, he is here" Mindghost said bowing as the Ship turned around and started to transform, revealing a nightmare to all living things
"I AM MEGATRON!" Megatron declared as the final clicks of his Transformation locked into place
"Lord Megatron it is an honour to serve along you in our king's name" Mindghost said as Megatron looked around
"Good job Mindghost" Megatron said "Now shall we continue into the city?"
The sounds of Gunfire and screams were heard through the settlement
"The scum must be eliminated" Euphie said while her mind was screaming at her to stop at she was doing, during the whole time tears ran wildly down her face. Shot after shot the more pain Euphie had to suffer. In the shadows Zero had caught up with her and pulled out a gun
"Please Suzaku" Suzaku flashed up in his mind "Cornelia;" the same thing happened with Cornelia "Nunnally" by this time tears were flowing and his heart was being consumed by grief, "And especially you Euphie," He said holding up his gun at the stationary gun wielding Euphemia "Please forgive me but this is the...the only way to save Japan" Lelouch silently begged while cocking the hammer of his handgun back, "Goodbye and I'm sorry but at least I know you would've rather been taken out by a loved one than a stranger" Lelouch said as he pulled the trigger unleash the shot that would end his sister's life.
The bullet was a direct hit in Euphie's stomach making her drop to the ground. Hysterical with tears Zero raced out and held his dying sister "Lelouch?" Euphie asked
"Yes, I'm here, I'm here" Lelouch said crying as he removed his mask
"Please look after Suzaku" Euphie said
"save your strength" Lelouch said
"I have very little strength left my dear older brother, it was fun while it lasted" Euphie said.
"No Euphie don't please don't go" Lelouch said
"Goodbye Lelouch and I forgive you" she farewelled kissing Lelouch on the cheek before closing her eyes.
"Eu-Euphie?" Lelouch asked as her normally warm skin started to grow colder and paler "No, no, no please open your eyes" Lelouch said holding her before releasing a cry of pain lost and anguish into the air, letting everyone hear it "NO! Euphie, Euphie!" he started to cry his tears staining the dry ground beneath him. It seemed as time stood still almost nonexistent as Lelouch held his sister's dying body in his arms unaware of his friend's arrival
"Lelouch!" Suzaku cried out seeing the sight before him "Euphie?" Suzaku asked
"She's gone Suzaku" Lelouch cried as Suzaku sunk to the ground
"Please tell me this is a cruel joke, PLEASE TELL ME!" Suzaku demanded.
"I can't" Lelouch said sorrowfully while his friend broke down in tears.
Standing on a building observing them was a young brunette who looked on at the destruction sorrowfully
"Don't worry she'll be back" she whispered as her tears were dried by a breeze "Now the future: Prime of Cybertron leader of The Autobots Slipstream Prime hear this plead help to fight a disciple of era old" the girl said as a swirling blue portal opened to reveal a metallic teal Autobot with bronze and gold feature.
"You summoned me?" Slipstream Prime asked
"Yes; Mindghost is here and he has used his powers on a young girl forcing her to commit the tragedy that has unfolded and Megatron has returned to his Cybertronian form which is why I need your help Slipstream Prime" the girl said
"You want me to deal with Mindghost while the other Autobots regain their transforming ability back?" Slipstream said.
"Yes, for it is important to the future of this world
"Suzaku, try and get some medical attention for Euphie" Lelouch said picking up his mask
"What are you going to do?" Suzaku asked
"Destroy Mindghost!" Lelouch growled putting his mask back on "C.C. Bring the Gawain to pick me up and then tell the Black knights to hunt for the Decepticons!" Zero ordered enraged
"I understand" CC answered via comm.
"I suggest you go now Suzaku, for the fighting will become worse and Cornelia will make the first move against all Japanese resistance groups" Zero said
"Of course" Suzaku said getting in the Lancelot with Euphie.
Slipstream had quickly found Optimus
"Hello Supreme Commander Optimus Prime, my name is Slipstream Prime, I am one of your successors" Slipstream said bowing in respect slightly
"Hello, it is nice to meet someone who will take my place" Optimus said
"I come with a warning: Megatron has regained his Cybertronian form and has instructed the Decepticons to find new alt modes as well" Slipstream reported
"So?" Jazz asked
"I am here to help you choose new forms" Slipstream said
"Then I suggest we roll out Autobots" Optimus said activating his Land-spinners.
Zero stood on the shoulder of his Gawain Knightmare Frame
"Megatron, you and Mindghost will have the pleasure of facing my wrath for you did to her, what you made her do, DO YOU HEAR ME! I WILL HAVE REVENGE!" Zero cried out to the skyline as he clenched his fist at the sun "You will not escape" Zero said getting into the cockpit.
