Catherine Palace
The locked gates at the palace hold back the crowd of demonstrators. Shinn The Conqueror attack's the chain holding the gate shut, breaking it, letting the demonstrators pour into the palace. People began to flee. Nicholas IV of Russia, his wife Alexandra, holding their infant daughter, Anastasia Nikolaevna III.
Nicholas IV: Quickly, this way! The children's playroom!

Tink: It appears Vlad has stir up some trouble in Russia.
Oldrin: St. Petersburg. What has this got to do with the romanovs?
Tink: What does this mean?
Tohdoh: Means you're going too...
Oldrin: Russia.
Tink: On board the Grandberry.
Chiba: Grandberry?
Oldrin: The name of the flagship you're all on Flagship of the Glinda Knights.
Catherine Palace
The riot pushes through the garden, pulling down the tsar's statue. A man throws a torch into the garden, igniting the bushes. A BRICK smashes the glass window of the palace. Crowd with rifles storming the palace grounds.
Nicholas IV: The door won't hold them for long!
Alexandra: Nicholas!
SHOTS are heard.
Berlin, Germany
A small cable car traverses high above the gigantic black city in the shape of a rectangular box over 100 stories high. Before the city there are rows of huge black towering steel heads atop massive furnaces. SMOKE billows out of their mouths. Inside the cable car stands Brigadier General Jan Meer.
Radio man: Message for Brigadier General Jan Meer. The Kaiser is impatient for G.G.'s reply.
Meer: It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of ewig that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
Somewhere in the interior of Berlin's palace, we are in a green porcelain room. Two large Xylvania soldiers, using large hoses, are washing down the
walls and floors of the room. WE MOVE DOWN into the water rushing along the floor towards troughs. Closer, WE SEE bits of flesh, hair, and blood. The car zooms past gigantic faces, and the furnaces far below ROAR with tremendous power. The city now looms gigantic and overpowering - millions of electrical cables stretch off the top into dark energy taps above the city.
Inside the city the cable car passes into a huge inner chamber filled with open-topped lime green porcelain rooms with tremendous electrical lines criss-crossing above. In front of a huge steam boiler, the cable car stops and Meer gets out, steps down steel stairs and enters a porcelain room where the Kaiser is being
treated by a DOCTOR for sores on his face and body. The doctor uses a laser beam on a big sore on the Kaiser's lips. He turns to Kaiser as he enters the room.
Meer: My Lord!
Vlad: Meer.
Meer moves up to the Kaiser.
Meer: Our forces have pushed through African front, General Zimmermann's forces have pushed into Russia, the revolution has begun in Russia, and I have here your answer from G.G.
Vlad: What does G.G. say, Meer?
Meer: He wishes to inform you that Vendetta - as he puts it, using the ancient tongue, the art of Geass - is still alive. He does not wish to meet or speak with you.
Vlad: (swallowing; angry) I made my peace gesture... the forms of Geass have been obeyed. (He throws down the cylinder.) Bring in The Cerulean and The Seeker.
Servent rings bell, and The Cerulean and The Seeker walks inside the room.
Meer: As you instructed me, I have enlightened the Elite members of the Goliath Knights concerning my plan t... -
Vlad: My Plan!
Meer: The plan to crush the Black Knights. The Cerulean, The Seeker... go quietly... no other great leader of the UFN must ever know of the Grand Master's aid to the kaiser. The entire Armageddon of Geass would turn against the Kaiser and the Grand Master.
Doctor: Put the pick in there Pete and turn it round real neat.
His assistant does so.
Across the room, Two Xylvanian Soldiers enter, holding big guns on a BOY who is wearing white pants. The Kaiser smiles when he sees the boy, who is deeply afraid. The guards force the boy to arrange violet flowers on a stand by the far wall opposite the Kaiser.
Kaiser: (as the Kaiser watches the boy) You're so beautiful my Kaiser. Your skin love to me, Your diseases lovingly cared for, for all eternity.
Grandberry
Sokkia: The riot has breached the main gates of the palace.
Oldrin: Then the tsar and his family will be...
Suzaku turns around and walks away to the hanger.
The Grandberry files over St. Petersburg filled with smoke and flames. The Xylvanian Ground Combat Command Vehicle watches in Pavlovskiy Park.
Bubi: They breached the main gates.
Engel: Good. We'll join them at the entrance.
Zimmermann appears on the screen.
Zimmermann: Carful of your misdeeds Engel.
Engel: It is business of mine to attend to. The 15th battalion and 27th army will overcome their fear, and flank through the enemy's rear.
Zimmermann: There is just one thing... The Glinda Knights have arrived, and I'm afraid zero is with them.
Engel: Zero! Are you sure?
Zimmermann: Yes.
Engel: Well stop them! You have ways, uses them wisely.
Zimmermann: As you wish Madame.
The Grandberry hangers opens, and the Lancelot Albion launches into the streets.
Suzaku: I have to get to the palace.
Soon he drives into the streets, then he is stopped by several Ubelmeisters that he is force to battle his way through. Then a red Lancelot lands in from of them. Renovated Lancelot Grail for the "Emerald Plan", designated as the Z-01/T-EP0 Lancelot High Grail.
Oldrin: Need a hand?
Suzaku: Oldrin!?
Oldrin chops a Ubelmeister in half from torso and legs. Chiba then in her Akatsuki Command Model Zikisanlands into the fight, folliowed by Kyoshiro Tohdoh in his Zangetsu.
Tohdoh: We'll never make it there!
Chiba: Let me get there!
Suzaku: Captain! No!
But Chiba pass by then and processes towards the palace, but then stops outsides the Sophia Cathedral.
Tohdoh (on-screen): Chiba! Where are you?
Chiba: I'm 2.4 km from Sophia Cathedral to the Palace. Place is surround by rioters, looks like germans in support. They breached the main gates of the palace.
Tohdoh: Damn it!
Suzaku: There's gotta be another way!
Tohdoh: Sokkia, any other thoughts?
Sokkia looks up on the computer, looks through the blueprints of the Catherine Palace.
Sokkia: Here it is! There's a small secret entrance under the chapel that leads to the gardens in the back.
Chiba: In the chapel?
She walks inside to see the tombs.
The cathedral was founded in July 1782 at the instigation of Catherine II of Russia as a reminder of her lifelong Greek Plan. The Tsarina, eager to liberate Constantinople from the Turks, wished to have a replica of the Hagia Sophia in the proximity of the Catherine Palace where she spent her summers. But the first project - an exact copy of the Hagia Sophia - was very expensive.
Then the Empress called upon her favourite architect, Charles Cameron, to design this "Byzantinesque" church, but the Scottish architect, though well versed in the Palladian idiom, had a vague idea of what Byzantine architecture stood for. His design called for an austere and monumental whitewashed exterior, with Doric porticoes on each side, probably a reference to the works of Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington.
Construction works, supervised by Ivan Starov, lasted for six years. In the eventual variant, the five wide domes were placed on squat drums, vaguely reminiscent of the Hagia Eirene. The church was consecrated on 28 May 1788 in the presence of the Empress. During the two decades that followed, the Imperial Academy of Arts had the interior adorned with Neoclassical paintings. A detached two-storied belltower was added considerably later, in 1905, to a design by Leon Benois.
At the alter, Chiba looks everywhere until she steps on a faulty floor tile. She opens it to reveal a flight of steps leading down to the passage.
Chiba: Sokkia, Do you copy?
Sokkia: Understood.
Chiba: I found the entrance. I'm moving in.
She moves further into the sewers.
Chiba: This is awful.
Sokkia: There is a small tunnel ahead. You'll have to crouch to get through.
She go through the tunnel and reach a bridge. While moving up, the place shakes from a tank attack on the streets.
Chiba: I need to get up to street level!
Nearby, she finds an exit to the surface, and in the back of the palace garden.
Berlin, Germany
Vlad: I will have Europe back for myself... he who controls the Sakuradite, controls the universe... and what Meer didn't tell you is we have control of someone who is very close to Tsar Nikolay Alexandrovich Romanov IV. This person... this traitor... will be worth more to us than ten legions of Knightmare Frames.
The Seeker: Who is the traitor?
Vlad: (laughs) I won't tell you who the traitor is or when we'll attack. However, the Tsar will die before these eyes and he'll know that it is I - Kaiser Alucard Tepes Vlad III - who encompasses his doom.
He stands under the giant, humming electrical tube light and rubs his head and body with a black fluid which drips from tiny holes in either side of the red glow. The
Attendants stand completely still with fear. Vlad walks towards the boy, who stands petrified. The Xylvanian guards smile nervously as they step slightly backwards. The boy begins SCREAMING as Vlad bites his neck The violet flowers are bumped and disarrayed by the violence which ensues. Then Vlad turns smiling to The Seeker as the SOUNDS continue to roar.
Catherine Palace
The Xylvanians bang on the door with heavy force. The Tsar loads a gun. They shoot the lock and knock open the door. The Tsar shoots one of the soldiers dead, but others open fire killing the Tsar and injuring his wife. The soldiers mock at the Tsars body. Then they heard a baby crying.
Xylvanian soldier 1: Is it a girl?
Xylvanian soldier 2: It is a girl.
Xylvanian officer: Kill them!
Just as they were about too, a Katana is thrown into the officer's back, then gunshots kills both the soldiers. It is Chiba.
Alexandra: Who are you?
Chiba: I'm from the Black Knights. I've come to retrieve the family.
Alexandra: It's too late! My husband's dead, as well as my children.
Tohdoh: Fall Back! Fall Back! That's an order Nagisa!
Alexandra: Chiba, please. Help me. They're going to kill my baby.
Chiba nervously looks out at the hallway, , then shakes her head at Alexandra.
Chiba: They'll kill you.
Alexandra: Please save my baby.
Chiba hesitates. Then decides. She quickly wraps together some rags and gives them to the mother.
Chiba: Pretend this is the child.
Alexandra: Thank you, Chiba. Thank you.
Alexandra kisses her baby and hands it to Chiba. Alexandra opens a wall panel.
Alexandra: Come this way, out the servants quarters.
Chiba enters the secret doorway. Alexandra pushes her through as ANGRY REVOLUTIONARIES BURST IN the door. She slams the panel shut and puts his body in front of it.
Chiba carries the baby, Anastasia through the tunnel she finds an exit to the surface, then back to the Sophia Cathedral.
Engel approaches Alexandra. Bubi hurries alongside.
Engel: This child will have no power over me...
Engel grabs the rags away from the mother and anxiously tears them apart.
Engel: (furiously) Where's the baby!
Bubi: Zero was here!
Engel: Find that baby, Bubi. Use your men. Bring her back to me alive!
Alexandra: Vlad's reign of terror is at an end! Zero will come back and he will finish you!
Xylvanian soldier: Silence, wench.
Alexandra: Zero will finish you!
Engel: Kill Her!
Chiba reaches backs to her Akatsuki and moves back to the Grandberry.
