"School is a really noisy place." C.C. mumbled, hearing all the talking going on.
As she walked past the many games she spared a glance at one blue haired woman who was laughing her head off as she popped a student on the head with a rubber hammer in an altered version of whack-a-mole.
"School festivals are so much fun! I feel so free!" The woman laughed as she endlessly bopped the blonde haired student with glasses in the middle.
C.C. shrugged to herself before spotting Lelouch on a bench nearby and decided to see what he was up to.
"Right, the pizza's starting late." Lelouch said and hung up his cell phone only for his second one to ring. "I definitely don't have time for this." He muttered before answering. "Yes…"
C.C. tuned Lelouch out as her enhanced senses told her to duck as the rubber hammer that had been Cecile's hands flew out and ended up hitting Lelouch in the head, much to C.C.'s amusement.
The hammer flew back into Cecile who looked very embarrassed. "I'm sorry! The handle just broke in two!"
Lelouch stood up with a scowl. 'Soldiers, how peaceful the world is.'
"Say, aren't you Suzaku's friend?" Cecile asked.
Lelouch sighed. "Yes I am. You might want to turn that in for a new one."
"Oh yes, right away!" Cecile said, turning back to the game to get a new hammer…
So she could continue bopping the guy who looked like Lloyd.
"Hey you, boy. Where am I supposed to go to get the biggest pizza in the world?" C.C. spoke up, smirking at the irritated growl from Lelouch's lips as he turned to face her. "Oh, there you are, Lulu."
"Don't you have somewhere to be? Go bug Naruto, I am sure he's planning a few pranks." Lelouch grumbled.
"I am here for the world's biggest pizza which Naruto has no interest in. I can see you are as busy as ever." C.C. said dryly.
"How about you make yourself useful? That woman works with Suzaku so she might have some information we need. You could use those powers of yours to figure out what she knows." Lelouch commented.
"I'm having a day off. You want information you do it yourself." C.C. walked past Lelouch, no longer interested in her little contractor. "I have a pizza to find."
Lelouch grumbled.
"Good work getting them from Area Eighteen here in one night. Your forces are impressive, Cornelia."
Cornelia tried to shake off the feeling of embarrassment at receiving praise from her older sibling who happened to be Schneizel el Britannia himself, the most successful of the Emperor's children and the one believed to be the next one to sit on the throne. "You flatter me. I'm honored that you deployed your regular troops to fill for them, Schneizel."
"It was the least I could do." Schneizel looked at the assembled soldiers.
"The Glaston Knights who were standing by in the Homeland have joined us here and that means we even have additional power for the Gloucesters." Cornelia stated.
"I understand and I'm going to play this card in my negotiations with the Chinese Federation." Schneizel replied.
"Please do-"
"What a great honor." Cornelia gasped at what Schneizel had just said. "Being asked for assistance by Princess Cornelia who is unmatched in the battle field."
"Please don't tease me about this." Cornelia muttered miserably, her pride having taken from serious blows already.
"But I am sincere. On the field of combat you shine more beautifully than any flower or butterfly. Yes… like the Flash herself."
Cornelia held a hand to her chest in shock, embarrassment and a little pain. "Please stop saying that… Now where could Euphy have disappeared to? I told her I was coming to see you off."
"I had a long talk with Euphy last night." Schneizel stated.
"Last night?" Cornelia asked.
"Yes." Schneizel nodded. "Ah and about the other matter. Bartly's project?"
"Oh yes, I really don't mind but will he be on any use to us?" Cornelia asked.
Bartley stared nervously at the tank and the person held inside.
"Stop fidgeting, Bartley. The readings are within predicted parameters. All we have to do is make a few…" The man behind Bartley smirked. "Modifications."
Lelouch walked past the stands as he made the calculations for the giant pizza. 'This is such a drag sometimes. How can I plan my revolution when I'm stuck planning stupid little parties?'
He stopped as he heard a voice that he had not heard since his childhood.
"WHOO-HOO! THAT'S MY LITTLE RAI!"
Looking up ahead he literally froze in shock as he spotted the one woman who was perhaps the one woman who was more terrifying than Cornelia and able to make him squirm more than even Milly on her best day.
'Nonnette Enneagram.' Lelouch whispered in his head.
"WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE YOU?!" Nonnette shouted in glee as she hugged Rai tightly to her chest after winning a bull's eye game and won her a stuffed animal as a prize. "ALWAYS SO LOVING WITH ME!"
"Nonnette, ple… please." Rai gasped in embarrassment… and the lack of breath.
"I so wish Nelly could have come along. Always worky-worky with that girl. How does she have such a loving little sister?" Nonnette pulled Rai away from the stand while holding the stuffed bear in her other hand. "Aw well. Here's another teddy bear for her collection."
Back at the military base Cornelia shivered and she had a feeling who was responsible. 'Nonnette… what are you up to now?'
'Why of all places is she here?' Lelouch quickly ducked behind a game stand, watching as Nonnette walked away. 'This complicates things even more.'
Nonnette was perhaps the one woman considered even more dangerous than Cornelia in some ways as she was a Knight of the Round and a student of his mother. Lelouch remembered all the times Nonnette visited Areas Villa when he was a child and not to mention how Milly idolized her. Honestly the idea of someone more crazy than Milly on her best day was someone not even Zero would dare cross.
Of course the one thing worse than dealing with Milly and Nonnette together would be dealing with Milly, Nonnette, and Naruto at once.
Lelouch shuddered. 'That would be a Hell that perhaps not even the Emperor would deserve.'
Of course Lelouch might actually pay to see his bastard father endure the pain of dealing with all three loonies at once.
'I need to alert the others.' Lelouch quickly slipped away.
"Seriously Ohgi, are you that thickheaded?! I can't believe you would do something this stupid!"
Ohgi took a step back, wary of the temper his best friend's little sister while Naruto simply kept the concerned woman to the side, having no wish to be on the receiving end of Kallen's which he knew would happen if he intervened.
"B-But Kallen-" Ohgi weakly protested.
"Don't you 'but' me, Ohgi! I have a mind to-"
"Kallen!" A voice called out. "There's room is for authorized personnel only. Can you get them out?"
Kallen and Naruto turned to see Lelouch walking in and Kallen quickly reacted by trying to push Ohgi out, even though Lelouch knew Ohgi and wouldn't rat her out for letting an Eleven onto school grounds.
Lelouch stopped when he Ohgi and the woman who took Kallen hostage with Mao's help. 'Ohgi?'
"I'm really sorry but there's something I want to take to Suzaku about."
"It's all right your highness."
The woman in question was in fact Princess Euphemia, wearing civilian clothes with a hat and sunglasses so no one would recognize her. Euphemia had come to personally speak with Suzaku about something and she needed it down without the eyes of her older sister watching her back.
It was something regarding her talk with her older brother last night.
Schneizel looked over the proposal Euphy had submitted and looked up with a smile. "Euphy, I think this is a wonderful idea you have come up with."
"Really?!" Euphy could hardly believe her ears. "Then…"
"You should always follow the path you believe in with all your heart. I will discuss it with Cornelia so she understands."
' Suzaku, my brother approved my idea. Now we can- ' Euphy was cut off from her thoughts as someone bumped into her.
"Excuse me!" The person who bumped into the disguised princess quickly stepped back. "I was in a rish and I didn't see where I was going!"
Euphy froze as she looked down at the little girl who stared back at her with shocked violet eyes as she stood back up. "Nunnally?"
"Euphy?"
'And things just keep on going to shit.' Naruto thought, looking between Kallen and Lelouch.
'Oh great. Now Lelouch is here. I really don't want to him poking around in this.' Kallen thought, not wanting have to rely on Lelouch and his Geass.
'This is bad. If Ohgi's here with the woman that suspects us does this mean-' Lelouch thought, his own mind racing.
Luckily for both of them the door opened and in came Suzaku and Shirley, apparently looking for something.
"I'm sure they were back here." Shirley said thoughtfully and looked down at the back. "Maybe at the back-Kallen? Naruto?"
Kallen and Naruto, having pushed Ohgi and Villeta into the corner quickly came out.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Naruto asked.
"Are there any spare fuel tanks in the back? Rivalz needs them for the pizza." Shirley said as she and Suzaku walked towards them.
' You might have to use the Human Path to erase their memories. ' Kurama advised Naruto.
'No thanks. I'm not poking around their heads.' Naruto replied.
"Uh, maybe they are on the other side." Kallen quickly said.
"Okay." Suzaku nodded and turned around to take a look.
Lelouch crouched down in the corner of the back of the storage room, pulling out a trigger for the smock machines he installed in the room. "Can this get anymore annoying? I need to slip away before I get spotted."
"Yo Lelouch! Did you see any spare fuel tanks back there?" Naruto suddenly called out, quickly thinking of a plan but needed a distraction.
"Damn it, Naruto!" Lelouch grunted silently as he stood up.
"Is that you, Lulu? I need to talk to you about something?" Shirley called out, walking to the back and one step closer to seeing Ohgi.
"Can't it wait? I have something important to do." Lelouch said, walking out of the shadows.
"I'm going to create a distraction." Kallen whispered to Ohgi who nodded.
"What are you talking about? You're never around." Shirley complained.
Kallen screamed as she looked up, causing everyone else to look up and then quickly pulled out her pocket knife to slice at the straps holdng a large container up. "The panels are falling! Run away!"
However, instead of running Shirley just screamed as it fell towards her.
"Don't just stand there! Watch out!" Kallen shouted as she and Naruto rushed forward while Lelouch pushed down the trigger, activating the smoke generators and spewing smoke all over the room.
"Uh… Thank you." Shirley said, looking up at Kallen who had knocked her down to save her.
"I'm just glad you're okay. But where did all this smoke come from?" Kallen looked around, already suspecting Lelouch.
"It must be undetected gas leaks." Lelouch answered as he, Naruto and Suzaku held up the large crate. "It looks like the main valve was knocked loose."
"Never mind that. Can someone help me please? I'm in a little pain here." Suzaku said, his voice quivering slightly as his left look shook.
"What's the matter?" Kallen looked up.
"My ankle. It's a familiar feeling." Suzaku answered.
Naruto looked down and saw Arthur biting down on Suzaku's leg before laughing. "Just what did you do to piss that cat off so much?"
"Trust me. I ask the same question over and over again." Suzaku replied.
' Such an amusing one isn't he? ' Matatabi asked with a chuckle at her feline friend. ' And such great timing too. '
Naruto chuckled. "I think he just missed you."
Suzaku could only weakly chuckle.
"Sorry you got up in the weirdness back there." Ohgi panted for breath, leaning against the tree.
"No, it was actually sort of fun. I haven't felt this excited in a long time." Villeta chuckled, smiling at Ohgi as he straightened himself up.
"I think it's better you move out Area Eleven now. You won't be in danger if you're not here." Ohgi said.
"You know Ohgi, I wonder if the person I used to be was as happy as I am now. So…" Villeta trailed off. "Can I please stay with you?"
Ohgi's eyes widened as he started to stutter.
"Are you going to keep our secret?" Nunnally asked as she and Euphy shared a cup of tea in the Club House.
"But Nunnally, what about Cornelia and Schneizel? They would be so happy to see you again, especially now that you can walk and see again." Euphy pointed out.
"They would but I'm afraid for my brother's life if we return to the Homeland." Nunnally looked away. "Lelouch still believes the Emperor had a hand in our mother's death and he is still hurting from that day."
Euphy looked down sadly at the table. "Cornelia never forgave herself."
Nunnally looked back at Euphy. "Euphy, not that I am not unhappy to see you but why did you come here?"
"Oh, I wanted to talk to Suzaku about something." Euphy quickly replied. "I know he's here because I was the one who convinced the principal to enroll him here."
"Really?" Nunnally smiled. "You did that?"
"Just because he was the Special Engineering Corps doesn't mean he could skip out on his education." Euphy smiled. "I am guessing he knew about you and Lelouch already. After all he was the son of Priminister Kururugi."
Nunnally looked at the table. "I can't believe he would never tell us."
"Nunnally?" Euphy asked in concern.
"It's nothing." Nunnally quickly waved off her older sister's concern. "So, Euphy how is Cornelia?"
"Oh, she hasn't changed very much." Euphy smiled. "She's a little stressed but she's getting better now."
"That's good." Nunnally said quietly. "I'm glad… Do you remember when you and I got into that argument? About which one of us was going to marry Lelouch when we grew up?"
"Yes I do." Euphy smiled. "We put Lelouch right on the spot by making him decide right then and there."
Both sisters giggled at the happy memory of the awkward look on Lelouch's face.
"So how about now? Do you still love him?" Nunnally asked.
The look on Euphy's face pretty much answered Nunnally's question.
"All right, any moment!" Rivalz declared into the earpiece as steam rose up from the giant oven behind him. "We are about to begin the historic catch of the world's largest pizza. Please note that the oven has been specifically built for this occasion. A fabulous waste of money!"
Lelouch was in the control booth as Rivalz continued his speech. "Yes I understand Shirley. I'll make some time for you but right now Rivalz needs me on the stage to help." He hung up and smiled with a hand over his left eye. "This is so easy. If I make a mistake there's no one here to see."
The door opened and in walked Milly and Naruto. "Not bad. You got everything pretty much on schedule huh?"
"I've learned to manage people lately." Lelouch replied as he faced the two. "What are you doing here, Naruto?"
"Tsunade's all up and excited about the pizza enough that my company is actually a bother so I slipped away. She won't really care about that. All she wants is a piece of the pizza." Naruto looked out the window. "By the way, I invited Kallen up here to take a look to get away from the crowd."
"I see. They all seem optimistic don't they?" Lelouch asked, looking at all the students that were waiting eagerly for the pizza making to begin. "The Chinese Federation attack just ended the other day and of course there's the recent trouble with the Black Knights."
'Can't resist bringing that up can you, Lelouch?' Naruto sighed.
"That's why we need this." Milly leaned against Lelouch's chair. "Festivals are necessary for everyone all the time. You still need to learn a little bit more."
Naruto looked at Milly and suddenly wondered how he missed the devious intelligence in the young woman's eyes.
' Because you're not that bright. ' Kurama offered.
'Bite me.' Naruto grumbled.
' Okay, come in here! ' Kurama laughed, taking it as a challenge. ' Or let me out like you let Matatabi out! '
Lelouch laughed, ignorant of Naruto's silent conversation. "Okay, lesson learned."
"Lelouch?"
A very familiar voice made Lelouch smile a bit more. "Nunnally how's the pizza-"
When he looked at the door he saw Nunnally standing with a young woman wearing sunglasses and a hat over a very familiar head of pink hair.
'Wow. How does no one put the pieces together?' Naruto thought as Lelouch stood up and quickly ushered Nunnally and the disguised Euphy out, brushing past Kallen who looked on in confusion with Milly.
"What was that about?" Kallen asked when they were gone.
"Lelouch is having a visit from a personal friend by the looks of it." Naruto commented.
' Subtle. ' Kurama grumbled and rolled his eyes.
"Looks like the ingredients are all prepared." Rivalz landed on the stage and gestured to the large tarp. "Now introducing our special doe handler the Ashford Family's Ganymede."
"Finally." C.C. whispered and smirked as Suzaku came out in the old and outdated Knightmare that was stored underneath the academy. "Well, I wonder if Marianne would be insulted or entertained with her Knightmare being a pizza maker."
"Yes, though an antique at the controls is our special member and Princess Euphemia's personal knight, Suzaku Kururugi!" Rivalz announced.
"Poor Ganymede but on the other hand I can literally hear Lady Marianne laughing from beyond the grave." Nonnette remarked with grin. "I can only imagine the look on poor Nelly's face if she saw what has become of the personal Knightmare of her idol. This looks delicious." Nonnette looked on, licking her lips. "Milly Ashford hasn't changed a bit since she was a little girl… Except that she's become such a pretty lady, huh Rai?"
"Uh… Yeah…" Rai blushed as Nonnette leered at him.
"Does my little Rai have a crush?" Nonnette leaned in with a grin on her face.
Kallen watched from the control room with Naruto, surprised at all the cheers Suzaku was gathering. "Is this all because of…"
"You really surprised? Not everyone supports the Black Knights and believes Suzaku is a traitor. They also see him as their ray of hope." Naruto commented. "They revere him in a way."
"I see…" Kallen whispered, not wishing to understand that some Japanese believe in Suzaku after what he had done but didn't wish to dash the hopes of her own people.
"Ganymede, a Third Generation Knightmare." Lloyd remarked, standing next to Milly outside of the control booth. "The type used by Lady Marianne the Flash. Isn't that correct?"
"It's just a fundamental frame. A puppet for events like this." Molly answered, schooling her features.
"An unorthodox design dropped from the next generation of Knightmares due to Lady Marianne's death." Lloyd stated.
"I'm guessing that's the real reason you want to marry me." Milly said, looking at the ground.
"So now you get it." Cecile walked up between the two and looked at Milly. "He has no attraction what so ever to the opposite sex."
Lloyd chuckled. "Well I get the general idea anyway."
"And the doe can't get any larger! C'mon Sir Suzaku, we have high hopes for you!" Rivalz said as the Ganymede twirled the pizza doe.
Not far away, three siblings sat in the courtyard of the academy.
"Last year it was my turn to do it but I can't compare to a real pro." Lelouch said, watching Suzaku make the pizza with his mother's Knightmare.
"This is a day of sweet surprises. To think you and Nunnally were so close all this time and that you and Suzaku were friends as well." Euphy commented to a now sombre Lelouch and caused Nunnally to look at him in concern.
Shirley spotted Lelouch on the stairs with Nunnally and a girl he had never seen before which annoyed her. "What is that guy doing? This is not time to be hitting on some pretty girl!"
"I never want you to leave me ever again." Euphy stated.
"Remember, we can't be found out here." Lelouch looked away.
"That's not true I found a solution for everthing."
"Lelouch!" Shirley stomped over to give him a piece of her mind but stopped as the wind blew past…
And knocked Euphy's hat off.
Shirley gaped. "Is that Princess Euphemia?!"
One by one the entire crowd turned around, seeing Princess Euphemia right behind them.
"Oh boy!" Naruto grinned nervously. "Cat's literally out of the bag now!"
"That was Euphemia?!" Kallen exclaimed, looking at Naruto.
"Oh… You didn't know?" Naruto asked with a nervous chuckle.
"Huh?!"
"Princess Euphemia?!"
"It's her!"
"It's Princess Euphemia!"
"This could be fun." Nonnette commented. "So I'm not the only one who snuck away." Her eyes widened she saw the other two with Cornelia's younger sister. "Lelouch? Nunnally?"
"Princess Euphemia?" Nina spun around from the monitor of the Ganymede's status.
"Lelouch, get Nunnally out of here!" Euphy stepped back, knowing what was about to happen and was already used to these kind of situations.
"Camera, get a link to the studio! Quick!" A reporter shouted as the students and adults rushed towarss Euphy.
"All right!"
"Princess Euphemia is here!"
"No way!"
"Wh-Where is she?!"
"Everyone stop! Don't run!" Suzaku stood up in the Ganymede's cockpit. "Please don't panic!"
Unfortunately Suzaku forget what he was doing and the pizza dough he was making spun up into the air and landed on a tree, effectively ruining the world's larget pizza before it was even made.
"…." C.C. stared at the ruined pizza as the students ran past her towards where Princess Euphemia was rumored to be. "Pizza…."
"Oh crap." Naruto whispered as he sensed a disturbance in the Force that left him shaking. "She's pissed."
"What do you mean?" Kallen asked, watching as all the students rushed towards Euphy.
"C.C… She's pissed!" Naruto pointed at C.C. who was staring at the ruined pizza.
"How do you know? She didn't say anything. She's just standing there." Kallen pointed out.
"Exactly. We got to go! We got to go now!" Naruto said and grabbed Kallen as they both disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Guess we should have this to the pros." Lloyd said, watching everyone rush past him as he looked at a disappointed Milly.
"I guess I'll just have to give up on this." Milly muttered.
Just as the students and reporters were about to rush Euphy the entire was covered in smoke from what was believed to be smoke bombs from all over the courtyard.
"What happened?!"
"Where's the princess?!"
"Is she all right?!"
"Aw I wanted to kiss her!"
"We almost had her!"
As this happened Suzaku jumped out of the Ganymede and rushed into the smoke covered courtyard, calling out for Euphy.
He rushed past C.C. who remained still as a statue for a second, registering Suzaku's presence as he ran into the cloud of smoke. "Pizza…"
Suzaku, along with the students and reporters suddenly had a chill up their spines as the air became colder. "Wh-What is that?"
"You ruined my pizza."
Turning around Suzaku saw C.C. right behind him with her hair covering her eyes. "Tsunade, have you seen Princess Euphemia?"
"My pizza…" C.C. whispered. "My pizza…"
"Huh… Oh the giant pizza. Sorry about that, I got distracted." Suzaku nervously rubbed the back of his head.
"I want my pizza." C.C. lifted her face up and looked Suzaku in the eyes.
When Suzaku saw her eyes he froze in complete shock and terror as C.C.'s eyes flared with flames of anger that would be enough to burn the entire school down. "Get me my pizza!"
"Uh… Sorry, Tsunade I have to find Euphy!" Suzaku nervously took a step back. "I am her knight after all!"
"I WANT MY PIZZA!" C.C. roared, her voice becoming deep and demonic that scared everyone in the entire courtyard as she chased after Suzaku, her formerly immortal body leaking with pure unrestrained bloodlust.
Many cameras were destroyed by the chakra C.C. unconsciously leaked out but luckily she maintained enough control to not crush anyone to death.
Euphy had almost no idea what happened to her.
One second she was getting ready to be literally squished to death by the hundreds of students and reporters rushing to 'talk' to her and then there was the explosion of smoke followed by someone grabbing her and suddenly she was back in the clubhouse, in the very room where she had tea with Nunnally earlier.
"You okay?"
Looking up Euphy gasped when she saw two familiar faces from her time on the deserted island. "It's you…"
"Nice to see you again, Princess Euphemia." Naruto said with a smile while Kallen just scowled. "Got yourself in trouble again didn't you?"
"Naruto." Euphy smiled as Naruto offered a hand to help her stand up which she accepted. "You go to school…" She looked at Kallen. "You too?"
"Yes me too." Kallen said harshly. "What are you doing here?"
"Kallen, calm down. She's not a threat to us." Naruto said sternly before facing Euphy. "Sorry. I'm afraid she's not big on Britannian royalty, even though she's friends with two of them."
"Naruto!" Kallen snapped. "We can't just talk to her like it's normal! Even if she's not like her sister what if she accidently rats us out? She had bodyguards all over the place looking for her!"
"Kallen. Relax." Naruto said, his voice now serious and full of authority which made Kallen look at him in shock but she decided not to argue with him anymore. "Now then… Princess Euphemia, not that I am not happy to see you again but what brings you here? Here to see Lelouch or Suzaku or even Nunnally?"
"Well I was hoping to speak with Suzaku, seeing Nunnally and Lelouch again was a welcome surprise." Euphy answered with an honest smile. "And now I find two his subordinates here as well."
"Subordinates? Don't make me laugh." Kallen grunted as she turned around and walked to the other side of the room.
"What did I say?" Euphy asked, unable to understand Kallen's anger.
"Let's just say when Kallen found out who Zero was he was not who she was suspecting. Granted she got over the fact he's an exiled Britannian Prince but at the same time he's more or less not as strong as she realized. Zero was meant more to be a symbol and when you find out who is behind the mask it sort of takes away the dark mysterious act girls are so attractive to." Naruto said with a cheeky smile.
"I WAS NOT ATTRACTED TO HIM!" Kallen shouted.
"No, not after you found out who he was. You even shook him up a bit when he annoyed you." Naruto laughed, easily shaking off Kallen's anger and looked at confused and shocked Euphy. "Let me guess, we're not what you expected either."
"Uh… Well, I was under the impression my brother was in full command of the Black Knights." Euphy admitted honestly.
"And in a way he is. Don't underestimate your brother, Euphy. Can I call you that? I'm not one who stands on ceremony honestly." Naruto admitted with a sheepish chuckle.
"Oh that's all right." Euphy said with a small smile. "I prefer it that way."
"Anyways, when we're on a mission Lelouch as Zero makes the plans and works to try and organize everyone. But on the battlefield he can only plan ahead so far when plans have to change on the fly. When that happens, we're all pretty much equals and Lelouch has known better than to argue with me or Shinryoku." Naruto explained.
"Shinryoku? Is she the masked woman? Does she come here too?" Euphy asked curiously.
"Oh you don't want to be near her at the moment." Naruto quickly said. "She took the loss of the giant pizza really hard."
"I'll say." Kallen muttered. "How can she be so obsessed with pizza? And how can you be so obsessed with ramen?"
"Now that is just silly. I understand questioning her about the pizza but is there to question about ramen?" Naruto asked, looking at Kallen like she was crazy.
"It's the same thing!" Kallen exclaimed, unable to believe she was having this conversation.
Again .
"Ramen is the greatest food in the world, simple as that." Naruto said like it was simple.
"I am not getting another argument with you about this! She's not even here to fight you about it!" Kallen said incredulously.
"That's good. It means I win!" Naruto laughed.
C.C. suddenly heard a voice in her mind that told her to hurt Naruto when she was done beating Suzaku to death.
He is amazingly fast when he is running for his life.
"Anyways, she might be mad at you, thinking it's all your fault that the world's biggest pizza was ruined and the last thing we need is the headlines saying 'Princess Euphemia nearly killed by insane Britannian Student.'" Naruto continued, ignoring Euphy's shocked expression. "But if Suzaku tells you he was nearly murdered by a green haired yellow eyed demon he is totally lying."
"Uh…." Euphy was unsure how to actually respond.
"Naruto, I think you're too weird for her to understand." Kallen commented in a deadpan voice.
Seriously, he was crazy enough that he was able to make her forget they were in the same room as Britannian Royalty. How messed up with that?
"Really? I thought I was being serious." Naruto said, knowing how C.C. was when someone stole her ruined her pizza.
Almost everyone back in India knew the rules regarding C.C. and pizza.
Rule 1: Do not interrupt C.C. when she is eating.
Rule 2: Do not steal her pizza.
Rule 3: Do not in any way harm the pizza.
If any of these rules are broken than fly, do not run or walk, literally fly away and pray you die before the demon unleashed finds you.
How is that not serious?
"Anyways, Euphy, what is you wanted to talk to Suzaku about if you don't mind me asking? Must be pretty important to risking coming here. Lelouch looked ready to have a heart attack when he saw you with Nunnally in the control booth." Naruto turned back to Euphy who sighed and looked at the ground.
"… The truth is I wanted to speak to him and Lelouch about something… I couldn't stand them fighting anymore and I found a way to end the fighting." Euphy answered, looking back up at Naruto.
"End the fighting? How will you do that?" Kallen asked, now curious.
Euphy started explaining everything to them.
"Are you all right, Nunnally?" Lelouch asked, peeking out from the snack booth.
"I'm fine, Lelouch." Nunnally smiled as she stood up. "Lelouch, Euphy told me something… She and Suzaku are becoming really close."
Lelouch looked at Nunnally. "What?"
"It's her!"
"Princess Euphemia!"
Lelouch and Nunnally looked up see Euphy on the stage with Naruto and Kallen watching from the edge, walking onto the hands of the Ganymede as Suzaku, looking none the worse for wear as he managed to escape C.C.'s wrath by hiding back in the Ganymede, lifted her up. C.C. would have gone up to beat the crap out of him but a burst of chakra from Naruto that only she could sense, telling her something serious was happening barely called her off.
But she would get her revenge.
"Princess Euphemia, are you all right?" Suzaku asked.
"I am fine." Euphy turned to the crowd of reports gathering around the stage. "Could you please network this broadcast nationwide?"
"Euphy?" Suzaku asked.
"I have a very special announcement." Euphy said, taking on the role Princess for all the world to see.
"Your Highness! It's Princess Euphemia!" Guilford cried, rushing into the Knightmare hangar.
Cornelia, who had been looking over her Gloucester, sighed. "What's she done now?"
" I am Euphemia, Sub-Viceroy of Area Eleven of the Holy Britannian Empire. " Euphy started her speech as Todoh stood up. " There is something of great consequence that I wish to tell you. "
Rakshata walked up next to Todoh, looking irritated. "Now what? This little girl makes such a fuss."
"I Euphemia li Britannia herby declared the Special Administrative Zone of Japan in the area surrounding Mount Fuji!" Euphy declared to all who were listening.
"What?!" Lelouch gasped along with the crowd. "Britannia has-"
"They're recognizing Japan?" Suzaku whispered.
Diethard bang his fist on the monitor in front of him. "Damn it! I never thought of this scheme, even though it's only in a limited area."
"Within the Special Administrative Zone of Japan Elevens will be permitted to call themselves Japanese. Restrictions against Elevens and special rights will no longer be restricted in this zone. It will be a place where Elevens and Britannia can live side by side as equals." Euphy said, finishing her speech.
'Stop this Euphy! I already thought through every detail of that scenario. It's nothing but an empty dream.' Lelouch gritted his teeth.
'Euphy…' Nunnally looked at Lelouch. 'Will you stand in her way, brother?'
"Do you hear me, Zero?" Euphy called out, pulling Lelouch from his thoughts. "I don't' care about your past or who you are under that mask. I beg you, join us in creating this special zone of freedom."
'She's actually going through with it.' Kallen could barely believe this was happening.
"WHAT IS SHE DOING?!" Cornellia was beside herself, watching her younger sister's broadcast with complete shock.
'This is unexpected. Lelouch and Nunnally still alive and now this.' Nonnette thought as she merely listened. 'Does she know? Is that why she's doing this? The deceased Vi Britannia children alive and here in this school… Does this mean that Zero is watching this place if he knows where they are? Is that why she's doing it here and now?'
"I ask you, Zero to help me build a new future in Britannia. A place for everyone!" Euphy called out to the world.
"FOR PRINCESS EUPHEMIA!" The crowd seemed to accept her words as they applauded her.
'Things just got really complicated now.' Naruto looked over at Lelouch who was still hiding, sensing his emotions. 'This is not what Lelouch ever had in mind. No way he'll accept it and there's nothing he can do…'
'If the Black Knights do anything we'll lose the support of the Japanese.' Kallen thought, thinking over the implications of this special zone.
'She's effectively crippled the Black Knights and she didn't even lift a gun or even wish any form of violence.' C.C. stared up at Euphemia, temporarily forgetting about brutally killing Suzaku. 'What will you do now, Lelouch?'
'I'm finished. No matter what I do the Black Knights will break apart over this. The reason we exist had vanished. How could this have happened so easily?' Lelouch turned away, making sure Nunnally couldn't see his face.
But she knew. 'Brother…'
'You think you can take it all away from me like this? Even if it is a place where we can be ourselves… You know nothing! You understand nothing! I am a terrorist who hides his face and you…' Lelouch narrowed his eyes at the smiling gaze of Euphemia who was looking at him.
'Lelouch, now everything can be like before!' Euphy thought happily.
'No, the past is dead and gone! Euphemia!' Lelouch's eyes flared with complete anger.
'He's going to do something stupid, I know it. His sister wants to help…' Naruto looked up at Euphy. 'And Lelouch will try and smash it to bits. This is going to be ugly.'
