Once Allison departs from Morgan and Cyrus, she heads straight for the Britannian Embassy. Once she arrives at the embassy, she sees Zero. "This might be easier, than I thought. Who is that with him, though?" She says to herself.
She then gets closer to the building, and sees two guards at the entrance. She tries to sneak around the embassy, when one of the guards see movement. "Hey, I think I saw something move over there." One of the guards says.
"Want me to check it out?" The other says. He then goes over to where Allison is sneaking. "You're not supposed to be here." The guard says as he spots the purple haired girl.. She then activates her geass and takes on the form of the guard.
"I beg to differ." She says with the guards voice. She then knocks out the guard and hides the body. After that she goes to the entrance.
"Well, what was it?" The guard asks.
"Huh… Must have been the wind." Allison responds. She then stays at the guards post until two more guards relieve them of duty. Once inside, Allison breaks away from the other guard and goes to cover to deactivate her geass. "I really hate being a guy." She says. She then peers around her hiding spot and sees Zero leaving the embassy. "Where's he going?" She says.
As she is about to stand up and search for Zero's quarters, one of the cleaning ladies sees her. She then disguises as her and covers her mouth. "Do not blow my cover, understand?" She says. The maid nods. "Good." She says.
"Miss, what is it that you want?" The maid asks.
"I want information on Zero. Since he is not here for me to… observe, I think it is best if I search his quarters for the info I need." Allison replies. "Can you take me to Zero's quarters?" She asks.
"I know the way, but I have hardly been inside his quarters. Follow me." The maid says. They then go across the main lobby of the embassy and head for the living quarters. Allison hears the ambassadors talking with the Empress, as they pass the conference chamber.
"What are they talking about?" Allison asks as they pass the door.
"Probably, whether or not Britannia joins the UFN." The maid answers. "Well, here we are. This is Zero's chamber." She says. She then opens the door, and Allison walks in and turns the lights on.
"This room looks new. And barren." Allison notes, as she sees Zero's living quarters and communications.
"The man is quite the neat freak. I guess he does not want anyone to know who he is." The maid says. "I am going to tend to the Empress's garden, I'll be right back." She says as she leaves. Allison then searches the room for information, and she checks the communications for any clues as to who Zero might be.
"Zero, who are you? Are you the same Zero from the first rebellion, or are you a new Zero?" She asks herself, as she looks through the records. She then sees pictures of the Kururugi Shrine and all current members of the Black Knights. "Why there?" She says. She then hears the door open and hides.
"The Empress arrived at the garden, so I took my leave." The maid says as she returns to Zero's quarters. She then sees the room a mess. "What have you done? If anyone sees this…" The maid says, as she starts to clean up. "If you wish to look like me, then you will have to do a bit of acting. No one wants to see me not being me."
"I've never had to act." Allison says. "Most of the time it was the looks that got me by." She adds.
"You do not want to blow your cover, so act like me if you want to remain undetected." The maid says.
"Why are you helping me?" Allison asks, as she helps to clean up the mess she made.
"Zero is a former terrorist. Although he killed Emperor Lelouch, his crimes are still active." The maid says. "I am a spy from the EU. I have been watching the Black Knights for some time now, and they are, what's the word, reformed. No longer terrorists, but soldiers for justice. We wish to know who Zero is as well, to understand his motives, not arrest him." The maid explains.
"But you said his crimes are still active?" Allison asks.
"Yes, but the Empress has pardoned Zero and the Black Kinghts of their crimes. My name is Rosalind, but you can call me Rose." Rose says.
"I'm Allison." She says, as she deactivates her geass.
"How do you do that?" Rose asks.
"You wouldn't believe me, even if I told you." Allison replies. As time passes the two get Zero's quarters back in pristine condition.
"It's getting late. I'll head for my quarters, you can follow if you want." Rose says.
"No, thank you. I'll stay here, and maybe catch Zero off guard." Allison replies.
"Good luck with that." Rose says as she leaves. Allison spends some time investigating the room, until she starts to feel tired. She lays down on one of the couches to sleep.

Suzaku returns from Shinjuku, and heads straight for his quarters, but before he enters, his order to live activates. "What could threaten my life here?" He says. He then turns around and heads for the conference room.
Once inside, he sends a communication to Horai Island.
"Commander Zero." Replies a voice.
Suzaku then adjusts the settings of the communication. "Asahina, is that you?" Suzaku asks, as he gets the picture focused.
"Yes, sir. I was told that the man behind the mask is not the same as before." Asahina says.
"You are correct. Has Tohdoh returned to Horai Island?" Zero asks.
"No, sir. He and Nagisa will return tomorrow." Asahina replies.
"How did you survive the FLEIJA?" Zero asks.
"I… I do not know. The last thing I remember is that I was going to apprehend Rolo, but there was this bright light. And the next thing, nothing. When I came to, I was in a hospital, with major injuries. The doctors were amazed that I recovered." Asahina replies. "Kaguya is still wondering if Nunnally will join the UFN. Is there any way you can convince her to join?" He adds.
"I wish there was. She wants to join, but fears that Britannia will either be intimidating to other nations, or thought of as weak with restricted votes." Zero answers.
"Zero, Britannia still has the largest population of any nation, Nunnally would have to agree to either break Britannia apart, or accept fewer votes. Or she can decline, which I think would not be a wise decision to maintain peace." Asahina says. Suzaku then ends the transmission. He removes his mask, and sets it on the table.
"Lelouch, I know you are not Nunnally, but what would you decide. Break apart Britannia, join with fewer votes, or decline the offer." He says to himself. "I just hope that she makes the right choice, for the world's sake. Now, what could endanger my life here?" He adds. He then places his mask back over his face and rests in the conference room.

The next morning, Schneizel enters the conference room, and sees Zero there. "Zero." He says. With no response, he moves closer and nudges Zero. Zero then stirs awake. "It's hard to tell if you are awake. Now, the plan to put Nunnally in hiding is at a stalemate. Cornelia needs a good reason to let the Empress leave the throne, for a period of time. I trust that you have your reasons, and therefore I believe that we should proceed with the plan." Schneizel informs Zero.
"Understandable. You and Cornelia have more experience in politics, but leave the UFN decision to Nunnally. If she is to hide, tell the public that she has returned to the homeland." Zero says. He and Schneizel discuss the matter more, until Zero walks out.
"Where are you going, Zero?" Schneizel asks.
"Fuji." Zero replies. He then leaves the room

Allison wakes up in Zero's quarters. "I must have missed Zero." She says. She then hears the door open, and hides behind the couch.
Rose enters the room. "Allison, are you still here?" She asks.
Allison stands up from her hiding spot. "Rose." Allison says.
"Well disguise up, you have acting lessons today." Rose says. Allison then activates her geass and takes the form of Rose. "I don't think I can get used to that. The resemblance is so accurate, that it's creepy." She says.
"That's because it is really you." Allison says with Rose's voice. "I even get the voice accurate."
"Well, come on. There is a lot of cleaning to do. We'll at least clean the atrium and the conference room." Rose says as she leads the way. Once in the main lobby they start to clean the floor, when they see Zero head out of the embassy.
"He does not spend a lot of time here, does he?" Allison asks Rose.
"He's Nunnally's knight, and from what I hear the Empress is going back to Pendragon. I'm not sure if Zero will go, for he is the commander of the Black Knights." Rose replies.
"Where is he going at a time like this?" Allison asks. She then sends a message to Morgan.
"Probably to Fuji. He goes there every now and again, although not as frequently as Cornelia." Rose says.
After some time, Allison has a notion to head back to Zero's quarters to search again, but Ambassador Cornelia enters the lobby.
"Princess, Zero left the embassy a while ago." Guilford says to Cornelia.
"I wonder where to. Guilford, I'd like you to take me to Fuji. I'd like to pay my respects to Euphy." Cornelia says.
"I understand, Princess." Guilford says. He then goes with Cornelia, and they leave the embassy.
"I want to search Zero's chamber some more." Allison says to Rose.
"Go ahead. If he has gone to Fuji, then he won't be back for some time." Rose says. Allison then departs for Zero's chamber.
Once inside Zero's chamber, Allison then re-evaluates the room. She goes to the clouded glass wall to the left, and finds Zero's personal shower. "That explains that." She says. She then looks at the wall facing the shower, and heads towards it. She then finds a hidden door.
Back in the lobby, C.C. enters the embassy, dressed as Zero. Rose sees Zero, as C.C. heads for Zero's quarters.
"He did not go to Fuji." Rose says, surprised.
Allison enters Zero's private quarter. "So this is how I missed him." She says. She sees all sorts of workout gear, from weights to martial arts gear. She searches the room until she hears the door open. She looks out of the room and sees Zero. She then ducks down and hides.
C.C. enters the room, and sees that one of the doors is open. She then goes towards the room. Once inside, she takes the mask off.
Allison hears Zero's mask being removed. She looks up to see Zero, but is surprised to see long, green hair flowing down in front of the cape. She then ducks down as C.C. turns to face her.
C.C. lays on the bed, as she sees someone move. "What good is hiding going to do?" C.C. says.
Allison then stands up. "You're C.C., but you're not supposed to be Zero." Allison says as she sees C.C.'s face.
"What makes you so sure that I am not Zero?" C.C. asks.
"I do not think Zero would show his face to a maid like me." Allison asks.
"Maid, hardly. You are a spy. But, I am Zero." C.C. says.
"Then why did you kill Lelouch?" Allison asks.
"He was to weak to fulfill our contract. So as he died, he passed his geass on to Nunnally. For he thought that she could fulfill my wish." C.C. lies.
"Nunnally has geass?" Allison asks, frightened of the new demon.
"Yes, she does. She has not used it yet, for I think she does not know she even has it. Now tell me, why are you here?" C.C. says. Allison deactivates her geass.
"I am here to observe Zero, kill him if possible. But since you are Zero, killing you would be pointless. M.M. is not going to be pleased that you are Zero." Allison replies.
"M.M.? Isn't he the twice coded?" C.C. asks.
"Yes. You know him?" Allison asks.
"I've only met him once, and that was a long time ago. I knew he was still around, but never would have thought he would be at the heart of this." C.C. replies. "Now there are some people that want to talk with you." She adds
Back in the main lobby Cornelia, Zero, and Lelouch enter. "When is C.C. going to arrive?" Cornelia asks.
"Soon." Lelouch says. He then goes over to Rose. "You seem like you have seen a ghost?" He says to her.
"What… Oh, it's nothing. Just that Zero is here now, when he arrived earlier." She says, seeing Zero in the lobby. C.C. then enters the lobby with Allison.
Zero steps up to Allison. "We'll discuss this in the conference room." He says. Zero then leads the way to the conference room with Allison, C.C., and Lelouch following. Cornelia heads to Nunnally's quarters to tell her the news.
Once the four of them are inside the conference room, Zero turns and faces Allison. "Why are you here?" He asks.
Allison activates her geass and tries to use it on Lelouch, for she does not know he is coded, and she doesn't have direct eye contact with Suzaku's eyes. Confident that she looks like Lelouch, she smiles. "I am not sure what you mean." She says. Her expression changes when she hears her own voice.
"What is it that the Geass Order wants with me?" Zero asks Allison, in a more stern voice.
"No, don't hurt me. We just want to know who you are, as well as what your geass is." Allison says with panic in her voice.
"I can assure you that is not just what your leader wants." Lelouch says.
"R.R., their leader is far older than me. He is coded with geass and counter-geass." C.C. says.
"R.R.? But the director did not mention you at all." Allison says. She gets a better look at Lelouch. "You look a lot like the Emperor, has anyone told you that?" She asks.
"All the time. Now report to your director what you have discovered here. C.C. is there anything that she should not say?" He says.
"That Nunnally has geass, and that you are involved." She replies.
"Anything else?" Lelouch asks.
"Nothing that comes to mind." C.C. replies.
Allison is then dismissed. Suzaku then faces Lelouch. "Does Nunnally have geass?" He asks, concerned.
"No, even if she does, I did not make a contract with her." Lelouch replies.
"I told her that you gave Nunnally your geass." C.C. says.
"Is that even possible?" Lelouch asks.
"I am not entirely sure of the parameters of geass." C.C. amits.
"Well, Nunnally has the all clear to go to Ashford. I'll see to it that she arrives there." Suzaku says as he leaves the conference room and heads for Nunnally's chamber.
"What about the girl?" C.C. asks.
"I'll convince her to attend the Black Knight's Academy." Lelouch says. He then leaves the room and searches for Allison. He finds her just after she finished her report to Alistair.
"It's always rough talking to him." Allison says to herself.
"Excuse me." Lelouch says.
"What… Oh, R.R. I just sent that report you wanted me to fabricate. What is it that you want?" She asks.
"I want you to attend the Black Knight's Academy, as well as to not abuse your geass. If you cannot control it, you might lose yourself." Lelouch says. "Call your friends who are already there, tell them to report to your director, and that you will be attending the academy." He adds.
"It would be nice to be with them again." She says. She then calls Morgan and Cyrus.

At the academy dorms Morgan receives as call from Allison.
"Who was it?" Cyrus asks, after he set up a chess board.
"Why don't you just read my mind, and find out." Morgan snaps.
"Morgan, I thought that you were fine with your geass, but when I found out that you could kill yourself after too many uses… I vow to not use my geass again." Cyrus says.
"Really, then why are you even on this mission? You are the one who can find out who Zero is." Morgan says. "Or are you going to really listen to the professor?" He asks, from behind Cyrus.
"I value my sanity. Now would you like to play a game of chess? A fair game of chess." Cyrus says.
"Alright." Morgan says. He then sits opposite of Cyrus. "It was Allison that called." Morgan says as they play.
"And what happened?" Cyrus inquires.
"She wants us to report to Alistair that we are enrolled at the academy. Also she will be joining us here." Morgan replies.
"Well that's good… Wait, why?" Cyrus says, adjusting his glasses.
"She did not say. Should we have told the professor that she was there?" He asks.
"If he wants to save us, then yes, we did the right thing." Cyrus says.
As the match progresses, Cyrus wins. "I thought you said a fair game?" Morgan says.
"It was. It's just that I know my opponent." Cyrus says. "Maybe I can beat the professor at that chess project." Cyrus says.
