Sylvia's POV

Another day to make amends for my betrayal. Lelouch is sending me to Arzenal for one mission: keeping a close eye on my sister. This is because he wanted to hear some information from Jill when she was informed by Tusk that if she wants to hear more, talk to the commander. Anyway, I haven't forgotten about being Lelouch's alter ego, Zero. Whenever I'm with Lelouch, I'm Sylvia, but whenever I'm with Sister, I'm Zero. I'm wearing the Zero costume as I arrived in Arzenal.

What a double life I'm having.

Anyway, I waited for the other Normas to clear out so I can talk to Momoka privately. Lelouch is making some kind of preparation for his plan.

"Momoka," I approached her after they clear the room.

"Sylvia, what are you doing here?" she asked me.

"Lelouch sent me to keep an eye on Angelise. Jill said to ditch the maid, but she didn't say about me. In fact, I was sent to get information from her."

"You mean like eavesdropping?"

"That's what Lelouch wants me to do."

"Good luck, then."

"Oh, and he told me to give this frying pan to you," I gave her the object.

"What for?" Momoka asked.

"To put this to your right breast. Might come in handy someday when his prepared plan starts."

I followed them to the bath. Really? What is the commander thinking? In the bath?

"Why in the bath?" my sister asked Jill.

"Secrets should be shared when completely exposed," was the reply. "So, what do you want to hear first?"

I hid closely on them so they won't see me on what I'm doing. I haven't forgotten about letting Lelouch hear the information the commander is going to tell my sister so he placed a wire on me.

Anyway, Jill started telling my sister about how God sees the true nature of human beings filled with hatred. The new species came and that is the ones who uses advanced technology known as Mana. When the Normas came int other picture, they were taken advantage as a necessary evil. Then there came the Ancient People, another set of people who couldn't use Mana. While Normas can disable Mana with touch, the Ancient People doesn't do that.

I've been thinking. People like Tusk could be that Ancient People.

As for Lelouch, I don't know what to think of. He couldn't use Mana nor disable it. Maybe he is from old humanity when they don't use Mana.

Either way, I think he's human, only he doesn't use Mana.

Anyway, the Ancient People tried to challenge God, but they failed. Speaking of God, Lelouch told me that Julio is God when they talked to each other from that other day.

Continuing on, they allied themselves with the Normas from Arzenal, and there came Alektra Maria von Loewenherz. Or should we say Jill. Sister and I know that she was the first princess of the Galia Empire. If that's the case, then I just killed her father, but I'm sure she won't have any feelings for this since he sent her away instead of protecting her existence like what Mother did for Sister. She ended up saying about the revolution of the abandoned humanities known as Libertus.

Looks like that's all the information she could give out for now as she needed my sister alive for Libertus, but Angelise is not interested because she chooses her own life. Speaking of that, I chose my life to make amends with her for that night. When she asked Jill about the DRAGONs, the latter just smirked.

I have a bad feeling about the last topic.

Suddenly, an alarm just went off, and it's about a DRAGON in the base. Luckily, I managed to get away before those two spotted me.

"Lelouch, you got all that?" I went for my communicator.

"Yeah, I got it," he replied. "I'm putting up a chart to make my next move, but I didn't get any news about the DRAGONs. However, I found my beacon is making any movements. If only there's some way you can go there and talk to them..."

"Anyway, I'll help Sister."

"You do that, while I'm coming up there."

Our conversation comes to an end, and I decided to help out. Good thing I got a rifle. I followed my sister all the way outside to hear the DRAGON she's about to shoot is humming the Endless Song.

What?

How does it know this song?

Anyway, Sister started to sing.

"Does this adventure involves singing now?" I asked about what they're doing while remaining unseen.

"I think it is," Lelouch shows up from behind me. "If they're singing, we should just watch. That way, we can understand the answer to Jill's last topic about DRAGONs."

As they stopped singing, Sister touches the DRAGON, and it reveals a pink-haired kid. Wait a minute. I know that kid! She's one of those Normas that Salia is with when I came!

"I have a bad feeling about this," Lelouch said as we went to take a look at that pit to discover DRAGONs are being burned after their demise. "So it looks like some DRAGONs can turn into human form. What a discovery."

"I'd say..." I added.

We saw Sister looked sick from this horrifying discovery.

"Good thing I'm writing this down," Lelouch takes a small notebook to write the details. "Looks like Ange is not liking what she just did."

As I looked at Jill who smiles smugly about how she thought my sister liked her life, I can't believe that woman kept that secret from us. If I'm thinking the Mana people are the evil ones like what Lelouch and Sister have been thinking, then she should fight for what is right. Because of this, Sister declared she won't kill DRAGONs and pilot the Villkiss anymore.

"Thanks a lot, Alektra," I whispered sarcastically.

But I knew Sister will have to fight to survive.

Suddenly, we saw the message from a newscaster.

"Norma, thank you for your good work fighting the DRAGONs. We will hereby begin your rescue. We have plenty of water, clothing, and warm food. Please abandon your weapons and prepare for evacuation."

Could this day get any worse?
