The Lancelot
The trailer was opening up and bringing something out that was covered in a huge black sheet.
"Advance unit weapon, Z-01, Lancelot," Cecile said, "now activating, now activating. Releasing hatch, Z-01, Lancelot, stand by for activation."
Preparations were continuing for the Lancelot while that was happening, in the trailer, Suzaku was changing to his knightmare flight suit being careful of the injuries that he suffered.
"Did you read the manual?" Cecile asked over the intercom.
"More or less," Suzaku answered.
"Well done. You scored very high in the simulator."
"Look, about what you said before…"
Suzaku started walking and was heading outside the trailer.
"It's possible but the possibility is close to zero," Cecile said.
"But not actually zero." Suzaku replied.
"That's true but still I don't want you doing anything reckless. The new system doesn't have an escape mechanism installed."
"Right, I understand Miss Cecile."
The hatches were being released and the huge black sheet was dropped revealing a white knightmare frame. Suzaku was amazed as it was the knightmare that he himself was going to pilot.
"So, this is it?" Suzaku asked.
"Yes, the experimental weapon that was developed by us in the Advance Special Envoy Engineering Corps, the Lancelot."
"It's the world's first 7th generation knightmare frame," Lloyd said with glee, "all right Suzaku, shall we proceed with the initial start-up?"
"Initial start-up proceeding from phase 20," Cecile said.
The Lancelot was getting equipment placed in and more preparations were being complete. Suzaku went on ahead and got in the cockpit of the Lancelot as he mentally prepared himself and he placed his knightmare key in started up the frame. The trailers were moving out of the way for the Lancelot and everything was set as the chords were released from the Lancelot checking everything and making sure everything was normal. Suzaku in the cockpit of the Lancelot and was ready to move.
"M.E. Boost!" Suzaku said.
The Lancelot was powered up and ready.
"Lancelot, launch!" Cecile called.
The Lancelot launched and rushed towards the Shinjuku Ghetto and Lloyd was pleased as Cecile covered her eyes from the dust.
"Full throttle right out of the gate, huh?" Lloyd said happily.
The Lancelot continued onward and Suzaku was amazed with the specs of the knightmare frame he was piloting.
"It better than what the manual said," Suzaku commented, "with this…maybe I can find and help Lelouch and that girl…please be okay Lelouch."
Flashback: Seven year ago
"Mark my words on this," Lelouch said, "someday, I will defeat Britannia!"
Suzaku and Nunnally were shocked at Lelouch's words.
"What do you mean?" Nunnally asked.
"I didn't really know anything," Lelouch said, "I didn't really know how Britannia really is but I see it now," Lelouch clenched his fists, "the devastation they cause, the lives they ruin, and their despicable justification to kill even unarmed people. If this how Britannia really is then I'll fight against it, I'll fight against it and I will. Someday, when I'm fully prepared and when I have the things that I need, I will fight and defeat the Holy Britannian Empire. I will defeat the very country of my birth."
Suzaku was shocked at Lelouch's words.
Flashback End
Suzaku shook his head, "I just hope that maybe…just maybe Lelouch has giving up on the idea of wanting to fight Britannia...his own people."
Shinjuku Ghetto
In one of the Sutherland cockpits, Tamaki was seeing on something on his screen and wondered what it was.
"Huh, what is that?" Tamaki asked noticing that it was getting closer to his position, "It doesn't look like a Suther—"
Tamaki didn't get to finish because the Lancelot quickly struck Tamaki's knightmare frame. Meanwhile Lelouch was looking over his monitor.
"Another push and the check point will fall," Lelouch said.
"This is B-group," One of the Naoto's members said on the other line, "confirm signs of the enemy!"
Lelouch was a bit surprised, "Reinforcements? I see," Lelouch placed the radio over his ear, "What's the status?"
"Everyone ejected, but they took out four units in no time at all."
"How many units?"
"Just one…one unit."
Lelouch was surprised again, "Just one?"
"I think it's a new model, never seen anything like it—huh, it's here?!"
There was a sudden crash and then static and Lelouch got concerned.
"Hey, what happened?" Lelouch asked.
Meanwhile, the Lancelot was destroying the Sutherlands piloted by Naoto's crew members one by one. Suzaku used its sensors and saw more of them and they were pointing their machine guns at him and Suzaku activated its Blaze Luminous creating a shield as they started shooting him. The shield was able to deflect the bullets and this surprised Naoto's followers.
"What the…?" One of the members said, "It can deflect bullets!"
In one of Sutherland's cockpit, Lelouch was being informed of the current situation.
"It can deflect bullets?" Lelouch asked surprised talking over the radio.
"Yeah!" One of the members said on the other line, "What can we do…huh, hey Ishida!"
Lelouch was receiving static again and he narrowed his eyes and clenched his teeth.
"What the hell's going on?" Lelouch asked himself, "Is it really some sort of new knightmare model that Clovis had? If so, then I wonder who the pilot is."
Back with Suzaku, he continued to defeat all those that would try to stop him in his track.
"Good," Suzaku said as he was feeling confident, "I can do this, with the Lancelot; I can end this pointless battle!"
Suzaku decimated more knightmares that were piloted by resistance members. The resistance members tried to counter but Suzaku countered all their moves with ease. Suzaku destroyed their knightmares forcing them to eject.
"Dammit, why can't we stop him?!" One of the resistance members said as he was forced to eject as well.
Lelouch was in his own Sutherland listening over the radio and he narrowed his eyes.
"Okay…we're in trouble," Lelouch said.
G-1 Base
Clovis was looking at the monitor. He was pleased with what was happening but at the same time he was also a bit annoyed as he knew what it also meant.
"My goodness," Clovis said, "now I owe my older brother a debt that I did not want," Clovis sighed, "oh well, it is for the best and it's a small price so as long it gets the job done, I don't care how it's done."
Shinjuku Ghetto
Lelouch clenched his teeth, "It's just one unit and that one unit is able to decimate them one by one…a new model, huh?" Lelouch thought about it, "If that's the case and the way things are going…" Lelouch made a decision and then spoke on the radio, "Is there anyone that can give me location of the new enemy knightmare?"
"I can," Naoto spoke.
"Naoto?"
Meanwhile, Ohgi screeched as the Lancelot rushed in and damaged Ohgi's knightmare as well and forced him to eject. Suzaku continued the assault against the resistance members in the Sutherlands they acquired. The Lancelot jumped in the air and shot its Slash Harkens at the knightmares around in the vicinity. Suzaku was in cockpit and nodded as he getting more used with the knightmare that he was piloting.
An A.S.E.E.C. Trailer
In one of the trailers, Lloyd, Cecile and their staff were monitoring the Lancelot's movements and actions and Lloyd was very pleased and Cecile was impressed with Suzaku's piloting skills.
"Amazing," Cecile said, "these readings are even higher than predicted."
"Yes and our pilot is taking this all very seriously," Lloyd as he was still pleased pushing his glasses.
Shinjuku Ghetto
Knightmares were dropping like flies and the Lancelot was in the air with its Slash Harkens that had been shot and then retracted them as the Lancelot landed on the ground. In the cockpit, Suzaku was still focused enduring the wound he was recovering from.
"If I stop these knightmares piloted by the enemy," Suzaku said in his head, "I'll finally be able to end this. Whatever it takes, I have to save Lelouch and that girl. Lelouch, I pray that you're still safe…please don't do anything rash my friend."
Suzaku was getting several signatures and he saw them approaching and it was a few Sutherlands and the two Glasgows and the Sutherland in the middle was piloted by Lelouch.
Suzaku narrowed his eyes, "Hmm, more of them. Okay…"
Lelouch in the cockpit of the Sutherland had spoke on the radio, "All of you, head to the rendezvous point and just concentrate getting yourselves and the people to safety. I'll take on this new model."
"Hold on, you're going to take him on?" Naoto asked on the other line.
"Yes, so hurry up and retreat all of you."
"But this is a new model," Kallen said on the other line, "can you win against it?"
"Not likely," Lelouch answered which earned gasps from the others, "if this is a new generation knightmare frame then defeating it in the Sutherland may not be possible however I can still buy you all time to retreat."
"Are you certain of this?" Naoto asked.
"I am, now all of you leave and I thank you for cooperating with me."
Lelouch saw that the Lancelot was suddenly charging towards him and the Lancelot did a spin kick but Lelouch in the Sutherland was able to block the kick and pushed the Lancelot back. The Lancelot charged again and Lelouch was blocking the attack.
"Hey!" Kallen spoke with concern.
"I'm fine!" Lelouch said, "Get moving all of you! Do whatever it takes for you all to survive! I'll keep this knightmare busy now go!"
Lelouch used the knightmare to signal the other knightmares to retreat and they all did just that.
"Hey, it goes the same to you!" Naoto said, "Don't die!"
Kallen, Naoto, and the others with them retreated and headed to the planned rendezvous point. Suzaku in the Lancelot saw what was going on and had a good idea as he was looking that Sutherland that was standing in his way.
"I see now," Suzaku said, "are you the one? Are you the one in command?"
Lelouch in the Sutherland clenched his teeth, "So you're the one interfering. I may have underestimated Clovis on this. I didn't think he would have such a trump card."
Ashford Academy
Nunnally was in the Student Council room looking over the text she received from Lelouch explaining to her what was going on in Shinjuku. Nunnally was worried for her brother's safety and she was sad and at the same time disgusted with what her half brother Clovis had ordered. Nunnally couldn't believe that her brother Clovis had a complete disregard to lives of the Japanese. Even though they were to be considered to be Elevens, to her and Lelouch, they were Japanese and Nunnally couldn't help but to question why some of the things were. Why did her country have to commit such terrible acts, why did they have to invade other nations and declared the people of those nation less than human. It did not make sense to her or to Lelouch. The door opened and Nunnally saw Milly coming in the room.
"Oh Nunnally," Milly said, "you're here."
"Hi Milly," Nunnally replied, "I hope you don't mind me being here."
"Of course I don't mind," Milly said with a smile, "you're welcomed to come here as much as you want. You are our honorary member of the Student Council."
"Thank you Milly," Nunnally said feeling glad.
"Anyway Nunnally, is everything okay? You seemed worried."
"Well…"
"You are worried about Lelouch, aren't you?"
Nunnally chuckled lightly, "Nothing gets past you Milly."
Milly was silent for a moment as she looked up at the ceiling.
"You know Nunnally, if you and Lelouch need help with anything, anything at all, please don't hesitate to ask me," Milly said with a serious look.
Nunnally was surprised and looked at Milly.
Milly looked at Nunnally with a smile, "The two of you mean so much to me and I…" Milly looked down at the floor, "I would be heartbroken if I were to lose either of you two."
"Milly," Nunnally spoke touched by Milly's words, "Milly, thank you. That means a lot hearing that from you. We just don't want to trouble you and your family. After all, you and your family did more than enough for us when you took us in and let us stay for free in the residence."
"Still though, if there's anything that I can help you and Lelouch, just say it," Milly went to the door, "I mean it, anything."
Milly left the Student Council room and Nunnally raised her eyebrows and was curious. Outside the room, Milly looked down on the floor.
"I'm sure it's just a matter of time," Milly said in her head, "knowing Lelouch, I'm sure he's close."
Shinjuku Ghetto
Lelouch in the Sutherland was facing the Lancelot, not knowing that the pilot was actually his friend Suzaku. The two knightmare frames were attacking each other with fists trying to knock the other down. They pushed each other back and the Lancelot shot one of its Slash Harkens at the opposing Sutherland but the Sutherland dodged it and went to rush against the Lancelot surprising the pilot. The Sutherland was able to quickly throw and land a punch. The Lancelot countered by throwing a punch as well. The Sutherland was pushed back by the punch but Lelouch was able to direct the knightmare to stay on its feet and drew its machine gun. Suzaku seeing it coming quickly activated the Lancelot's Blaze Luminous to create a shield as Lelouch fired at the machine at it. In the cockpit of the Sutherland, Lelouch clenched his teeth, cursing how he was not fast enough to get the shots in. The Lancelot shot one of its Slash Harkens again and this time, Lelouch was able to get the Sutherland to grab it as he dropped the machine gun. In the cockpit of the Lancelot, Suzaku was surprised to see what happened.
"He grabbed it?" Suzaku asked in shocked and then clenched his teeth.
Suzaku fired another Slash Harken but the Sutherland was able to grab that as well and then Lelouch fired both of his own Slash Harkens at the Lancelot, striking him and making the Lancelot get knocked off balance. Lelouch rushed the knightmare towards the Lancelot and rammed the 7th generation knightmare frame to the ground. The Sutherland got on top and started punching the Lancelot and was doing it repeatedly.
"Damn you!" Suzaku cursed in anger.
In the cockpit of the Sutherland, Lelouch narrowed his eyes and clenched his teeth.
"This may not be enough," Lelouch said in his head, "but it should be enough to slow him down temporarily."
The Lancelot was able to stop fist that was doing the punching and threw its own punch striking the Sutherland and then a second landed its mark and making the Sutherland move off balance and that gave the Lancelot the edge to get free and get back on its feet while forcing the Sutherland the move back. Lelouch grinned and then had the Sutherland turned and move fast and this action surprised Suzaku.
"What, you're running?" Suzaku asked and then clenched his teeth, "You coward!"
The Lancelot was running after the Sutherland while the Sutherland picked a machine gun from one of the destroyed Sutherland.
An A.S.E.E.C. Trailer
Lloyd and Cecile were surprised to see what was happening.
"I don't believe this," Cecile said, "maybe it's just me but it looked like someone is able to give Suzaku a bit of trouble.
"Uh, th-there's nothing to worry about," Lloyd assured although upset that his creation was being beaten on, "it's only a matter of time…but I admit, whoever is that pilot that is standing against the Lancelot is skillful."
G-1 Base
In the bridge, Clovis was not pleased.
"What is this?" Clovis asked upset, "I thought this toy would be able to destroy the enemies so easily, so why is there still one still able to stand up against it?" Clovis was shaking in anger and Bartley and the staff officers were concerned, "Lloyd, this is unacceptable!"
"Patience Your Highness," Lloyd said on the other line, "it's only a matter of time."
Clovis clenched his teeth losing patience.
Shinjuku Ghetto
Lelouch in the Sutherland continued to dodge the Slash Harken attacks of the Lancelot. Lelouch looked around searching for something and then he saw what he was looking and rushed towards it. Meanwhile Suzaku was getting upset with what was happening.
"Damn coward," Suzaku said, "committing terrorist acts and then makes a run for—"
Suzaku cut himself off when he saw what had happened and it was the Sutherland picking up a long pole and twirling it and pointing it at the Lancelot.
"Wait a minute," Suzaku spoke surprised, "that's what you were going for?"
In the cockpit of the Sutherland, Lelouch narrowed his eyes.
"This is the same pole that Naoto was using against the enemies," Lelouch said, "I'm glad he left this for me."
The Sutherland charged and the Lancelot shot both of its Slash Harkens again but Lelouch used the pole to deflect them and then swung the pole to whack the Lancelot on its head. Lelouch continued with the assault using the pole beating the Lancelot with a pole.
An A.S.E.E.C. trailer
Lloyd and Cecile were shocked in seeing what was happening and Lloyd was mortified with what was happening to his creation.
"What the hell is that thug doing?!" Lloyd ranted, "How dare he strike my Lancelot like that!"
"Who in the world is he giving Suzaku trouble?" Cecile asked.
Shinjuku Ghetto
The Lancelot and the Sutherland continued to fight each other and the Lancelot grabbed the long pole and struggled to take it from the Sutherland. The Lancelot succeeded and swung and stuck the Sutherland knocking it on the ground. In the cockpit of the Sutherland, Lelouch gritted his teeth and then looked and saw a building that had a huge hole on the upper floor. The Lancelot hovered over the Sutherland and Lelouch had the knightmare do a sweep kick, tripping the Lancelot making it fall on the ground. In the cockpit of the Lancelot, Suzaku was surprised and gritted his teeth. Lelouch got the Sutherland up and used its Slash Harkens to climb to the upper floor in the building. The Lancelot got up and went in after the Sutherland following it to the upper floor. When the Lancelot got in the upper floor of the building, Suzaku saw no sign of the Sutherland. Suzaku used the Lancelot's sensors but didn't pick up on the reading.
"Dammit, I lost him," Suzaku said, "Where is he?"
Suzaku then saw a huge hole on the floor and checked it out and when he looked through the hole, he saw Sutherland at the first floor with the machine gun in hand and Suzaku was surprised and then Lelouch started shooting through the upper floors around the Lancelot and then moved away and then floor started to crumble and it collapsed due to the shots that Lelouch had fired on the floors and the Lancelot was caught up and fell through the building. The Lancelot was on the ground on its back and Suzaku felt dizzy from what had just happened. Cecile was on the other line asking if Suzaku was okay and Suzaku was able to respond saying he was fine and Suzaku could hear Lloyd being livid with what was happening to his machine. Suzaku was just amazed that his opponent was skilled and clever as well. He realized that the person was not so easy to beat and wasn't like the others he defeated and he wondered who it was that he was fighting and he was still amazed that even in a Sutherland, he was able to still give him some trouble. He got the Lancelot on its feet and stepped outside the old building.
"I have to find him and stop him," Suzaku said and then he had his thought for someone, "Lelouch…"
Meanwhile, Lelouch was rushing to get to the G-1 Base and confront his brother Clovis.
"I have to hurry," Lelouch said, "I have to force Clovis to stop the attack, otherwise—"
Lelouch was interrupted when he saw a signature that was coming behind him and he was shocked. He turned and saw the Lancelot on his heels.
"Dammit," Lelouch said upset, "I can't even slow him down. That machine…it's much better than I realized."
Lelouch had the knightmare to start shooting at the Lancelot and the Lancelot used the shield again to deflect the bullets. In the cockpit of the Lancelot, Suzaku clenched his teeth.
"Dammit, I have to stop him quickly," Suzaku said, "I don't know who you are but you're clearly a threat…that I'm sure of."
Suddenly they both heard a scream and they saw a woman carrying her baby falling from the top of a building after she tripped and lost her balance.
"There was one person still here?" Lelouch asked in shocked as he rushed her rescue, "Why wasn't she escorted away from here?" Lelouch clenched his teeth in anger, "Someone screwed up."
Lelouch was about to get close to catch the woman but the Lancelot beat him to it by saving here and her baby. Lelouch was shocked at the Lancelot's action.
"He rescued someone in the midst of battle," Lelouch said and then focused, "I'm running out of time and I need to get to Clovis…maybe the pilot of that knightmare is not so bad. Well, time to go."
Lelouch left and to go to the G-1 Base and he went to a place and looked around and when he saw that it was clear, he left the knightmare and headed for the G-1 Base on foot and he had to make sure he was careful as he was sure it would be heavily guarded.
"You finally made it," A woman's voice said.
Lelouch stopped and looked and he saw that was CC.
"CC," Lelouch spoke.
"You're heading to the G-1 Base," CC said, "I can help you with that. It'll be easier."
Lelouch was surprised and then he smiled, "Thanks, I appreciate it."
An A.S.E.E.C. Trailer
Lloyd and Cecile looked at the monitor and were surprised what Suzaku did.
"Huh, he rescued someone?" Lloyd asked.
"So it would seem," One of the staff members said.
"Hmm, that's strange of him."
Shinjuku Ghetto
After Suzaku helped the woman carrying her baby to safety, the woman looked at the Lancelot in fear and ran. Suzaku was shocked but really didn't mind much at all.
"Suzaku," Cecile said as she appeared on his screen, "you must be tired. Why don't we call it quits for the day?"
"No, it's okay Miss Cecile," Suzaku replied, "I can still keep going. Besides, I have to find him and stop him. I can still go so please, let me."
Outside the A.S.E.E.C. Trailer
"Make sure he's careful with the operational time," Lloyd said looking back at the trailer.
"Yes sir," One of the staff members replied.
Lloyd turned, "My, despite the problem by that one enemy, that boy is certainly an excellent piece of equipment."
Meanwhile Lelouch and CC were near the G-1 Base. They saw a soldier and they formed a plan. CC walked up to the soldier and the soldier was surprised and pointed his gun at her.
"Hey, who are you?" The soldier asked, "This is Prince Clovis's personal transport, you're not allowed here."
Lelouch suddenly appeared behind the soldier and held him in a chokehold and the soldier struggled but soon passed out and Lelouch dropped him on the ground.
"You're brutal," CC commented.
Lelouch simply ignored CC's comment looked on and then back to CC.
"Well, are you coming or not?" Lelouch asked.
"Of course I am," CC said.
"Then let's go. It's been a long time coming."
Shinjuku Ghetto
Kallen and Naoto were running and Ohgi called for them. They went in to the place where the survivors of the attack and Naoto's group members were hiding out. Naoto stood in front of the people assuring them that they had a route that would lead them to safety and would require going through the tunnels and he promised that they would protect them. However there were voices of disdain of what had happened and the people were not willing to move.
"This is all your fault," One man said, "it's because you went and oppose the Britannians."
"H-Hey!" Naoto replied shocked.
"What did you say?" Tamaki said angrily pointed his gun at the person that accused them.
"What are we going to do now?" A woman asked in fear, "They could be here any moment."
"That's why we have an escape route so stop whining and let's get moving!"
"Do you have any idea how people died today?" Another man said, "They killed my little brother and he was only ten years old!"
"Hey, do you know how many of us were captured and killed?"Tamaki replied getting more heated.
"Like I give a damn how many you morons were killed! I lost my little brother and he was the only family I had left!"
"Why you!"
The argument continued and Naoto was upset with what was happening.
"Hey Naoto," Ohgi spoke as he stood next to him, "I tried getting in touch with that person but I had no luck."
"I see," Naoto said, "is he still fighting that white knightmare we saw or has he…?"
"Naoto, isn't it time you tell us what you know?" Kallen asked.
"Huh?" Naoto looked at Kallen.
"You know who it is, don't you?"
"…Well, I'm sure it's the same person, the one who saved me three days ago."
Kallen was surprised as she knew exactly who Naoto was referring to and she shook her head.
"Naoto, you can't be serious," Kallen said surprised, "you actually think that it was…him?"
"I'm sure of it," Naoto said with a nod, "he's the only one that I can think that would do this and the tactics that gave us the edge over those Britannian soldiers and their knightmares…I'm sure of it, it has to be him."
"Naoto, who is it?" Ohgi asked, "Who are you referring to?"
Kallen shook her head again, "But Naoto, he's not even—"
Kallen was interrupted when the side of a wall was destroyed and Britannian soldiers with their guns pointed at the people and one soldier in a tank appeared. Tamaki couldn't believe what was happening and he turned to the people that he was arguing with.
"Now you see," Tamaki said in anger, "we could have left by now and avoided this but because you just wanted to whine and argue, it gave these bastards the time to find us!" Tamaki faced the soldiers, "Dammit, we should have used the poison gas!"
"Tamaki, enough!" Naoto roared, "And I told you that using it was out of the question!"
"Damn that Nagata, he screwed us!"
"So this is where you Elevens scurried off to," The soldier in the tank said, "Prepared to fire!"
"No!" Naoto said in fear and then he looked at his sister Kallen and then his best friends and then everyone else, "I failed, I have failed," Naoto clenched his teeth and spoke in his head, "I'm sorry we wasted the opportunity that you gave us…Lelouch!"
"Ready!" The soldier in the tank said signaling his subordinates, "Ai—"
"Attention to all forces, cease fire!" Clovis said suddenly over the airwaves.
This stopped the soldiers and the Japanese residents of Shinjuku and Naoto and his group were surprised. Elsewhere Suzaku was surprised to hear Clovis order the cease fire. Many people in the Shinjuku Ghetto which included Jeremiah and Villetta were stunned in what they were hearing.
Clovis continued, "In the name of Clovis la Britannia, third imperial prince and Viceroy of Area 11, you are ordered to cease fire! I repeat, you are to cease fire at once! You will cease in destructions of anymore buildings. All casualties and wounded, whether they be Britannians or Elevens will be treated without prejudice! In my name as third Britannian prince, I shall not allow any further fighting so cease fire at once!"
Bridge of the G-1 Base
The lights were turned off and Clovis just sat on his throne.
"There, satisfied?" Clovis said.
"Yes, absolutely," Lelouch said pointing a gun at Clovis and he was hiding in the shadow so Clovis couldn't see nor recognize him.
"So what's next?" Clovis asked with a bored tone, "A round of songs or how about a game of chess?"
Lelouch chuckled, "Chess, now there's a pleasant thought although I doubt you have actually improved really considering what happened earlier."
"Excuse you?" Clovis asked feeling a bit insulted, "You dare insult me?"
"I'm just stating a fact and besides, you used to play chess with me all the time, although I've always beaten you."
"What?" Clovis was confused.
"Think back Clovis…at the Aries Villa."
Clovis was shocked, "Okay, who are you?"
Lelouch walked up and Clovis was able to see him and Clovis was shocked to see him.
"It's been a long time my big brother Clovis," Lelouch said.
Clovis was still in shock when he saw someone he had not seen for years, "Y-You're…"
"Yes," Lelouch said, "the former 11th Britannian prince and 17th heir to the throne, son of the late Empress Marianne vi Britannia, Lelouch vi Britannia."
"Lelouch, I thought you were—"
"Dead? Oh I assure you Clovis that as you can see, I'm alive and well.
Clovis was still shocked seeing his younger half brother alive and well.
Lelouch continued, "I've returned my brother and I'm here to change everything."
That's it for this chapter. Next chapter: Lelouch gets answers from Clovis and continues with his plans with Nunnally and their two close allies while going through the day in Ashford Academy.
