Subway warehouse, Shinjuku ghetto

The bloodbath are still raging on on the outside but silence conquered the warehouse after Lelouch gives a command to the soldiers to slaughter themselves and they did. By the newfound power that the beautiful green haired girl gives to him AFTER she'd been shot dead. Meanwhile, Lelouch still ponder why did the girl suddenly gave him this power. To make her one wish come true? What is it?

Suddenly, the thin warehouse wall burst and reveal a Sutherland. The Factsphere Sensor, an advance camera that relay live thermographic images and data to the pilot, scan the area. The pilot, one of The Purist faction, Villeta Nuu, suprised that there's only a surviving student in that warehouse of massacre. Even the Britannian soldiers are killed.

Villeta immediately question the kid and fire a warning shot after the Lelouch refuse to talk. He then command Villeta to come out but there's no effect. Meaning his Geass power only works with direct eye contact. Knowing he would be in trouble if he don't do what she said, he put up his hands up.

"My name is Alan Spacer. My father's a duke.", a blantant lie coming out from Lelouch but Viletta buys it.

"Nobility?"

"My I.D card is in my breast pocket. After you confirm who I am, i'll request your protection."

After those word, the Knightmare are powered down and as Lelouch expected, she do what he planned. Lelouch do have a trick to show.

"Now then, hand your Knightmare to me."

Just after she comes down from the Knightmare, she gets Geass by Lelouch. She gave the key and the codes for the Knightmare start up before blast off from there towards the battlefield. Only to realise she's outside with her Knightmare gone after minutes passed.

Medical Transport

"So, are having a bad day?"

The usually carefree tone, Lloyd Asplund, awakes Suzaku from his deathbed. He's suprise to see that he's still alive and only gets a minor injuries rather than death injuries.

"Looks like you miss a chance to go to the heaven, Private Kururugi."

"I did? Where am I?", Suzaku tries to get up but it's a bit tough for him.

"Ah, we still in Shinjuku Ghetto.", Lloyd replied and then Cecile join in.

"With Prince Clovis nearby, this probably the safest place anywhere."

Cecile is right. The transport and the G1 Mobile Base are heavily guarded by ground unit. Both foot soldiers and Knightmares. Not to mention there're automate guns on the G1, which can cover almost all angle and large area of it's vicinity.

"This what save your life, Mr. Suzaku. Is it a keepsake?"

Cecile show a round shape hard object which happens to be a pocket watch. There's a hole on the right side which save Suzaku from his death.

"Yeah. Very."

"You Elevens believe in Gods living inside of everything. Even object, don't you?", jokes Lloyd but Suzaku didn't feel offend at all but instead asking for his friends, Lelouch but he immediately cuts it out as both Lloyd and Cecile won't even have a clue about Lelouch.

"What's the latest on the situation?"

"Looks like the poison gas has released. Massive Elevens casualities reported but they haven't got the perpetrator yet."

"They haven't caught it yet, huh?"

"Private Kururugi, how much experience do you have in piloting a Knightmare frame?"

Suzaku caught off guard by that question. He's certainly didn't expect that kind of offer from a Britannian faction since they discreminate Elevens.

"B..but, there's no way an Eleven would be made a knight."

"Well, it's suppose that you could.", the Knightmare key were handed to Suzaku by himself. That would make Suzaku the first and probably the only Eleven that has pilot a Knightmare Frame.

After getting Suzaku ready, the walk out from the Medical Transport and get inside Camelot Transport, which carry the Knightmare that Suzaku will be piloting it.

"Congratulations! The only Knightmare of it's kind awaits you. Once you've take the control of this big beauty, everything will change. You and your world."

The Knightmare is covered with a big sheath of clothes. Drapping it from the top to it's bottom. It may well be a prototype but it's still pack of punch.

Shinjuku ghetto

One of the surviving hijacker earlier are still alive but Kallen are in deep trouble. Her Glasgow already damaged from earlier clash with Lord Jeremiah but now, she's too being pursuit by the same soldier but this time, along with his subordinates who used the same Sutherland as he do.

Just as Kallen is in desperate to lose them, a voice from the radio transmission directs to an escape route. She is hesitate to believe and do what it's told but to survive, she do what she's told to. The voice direct her to a railway and told to jump and lose the sight of the pursuing Jeremiah after the approaching trains comes towards her.

Jeremiah stops the train with his Knightmare and command his subordinate to go after the red Glasgow. Before they could pursuit her, double Slash Harken knocks down a Sutherland. It's coming from another Sutherland that was hiding in a building near the railway. Before Jeremiah could question the unit, the Sutherland disable Jeremiah's Knightmare and then the red Glasgow came back to destroy him. Jeremiah had no choice but to conceed a defeat by eject from his disable Knightmare.

The other Sutherland that has attack Jeremiah escape from that place before Kallen had a chance to thank it. Ohgi and his rebel team arrived at the railway track as per-command by the voice from the radio transmission. Another command are recieve and this time, they ought to take the Sutherlands from the cargo train. With this, they've equal firepower with the Britannian soldiers.

The voice are actually coming from Villeta's stolen Sutherland. It was Lelouch's doing. He had to hide in a tall building for good battle view and so that he can be hard to detect by the enemies Sutherland while he conduct the battlefield orchestra using the IFF system that shows all Sutherland and armoured vehicles across Shinjuku ghetto that's operated under Prince Clovis. The other Sutherlands that were given to the rebel had their IFF removed. It's a double-edge sword system.

"This is wearing me out. Regardless, only determination to suceed. Afterall, I'm betting my life in this game."

The battle immediately changed it's wave. The rebel are winning after follows Lelouch's order without hesitation. Knightmare after Knightmare, squad after squad are destroyed in the process.

The situation in the G1 mobile base are more chaotice than ever until Prince Clovis takes the command by himself and order most of the unit that's guarding the G1 to concentrate on the terrorist attack.

Minutes passed and the Britannian Military suffered heavy loss because of the wrong move by the prince. Keira meanwhile just observe the battlefield as he had nothing to do or say about it. He didn't even had a clue on what's going except he knows that the Britannian are losing.

Prince Clovis are now in despair and called The Camelot unit, Llyod and his crew.

"Llyod! Can it win? Will your toy beat them?"

"My lord, please be kind to call it Lancelot."

With that command, Lloyd jumped in joy. Finally he can use his latest creation of Knightmare, the world first 7th generation Knightmare Frame, Z-01 Lancelot that will be piloted by Suzaku to join the battlefield. Though Llyod only wants to focus on collecting the data by joining the battle.

Suzaku join the battle head-on towards the enemy, all by himself. Obliterate all the rebel's Sutherland that's fighting him. Either 1 Sutherland or a squad of 5, he can destoyed all. By destroyed, meaning Suzaku only disable their Sutherland so they can eject safely. He don't want to kill anyone. Not even the rebels. The battle immediately changed tide once again and this time, the Britannian are winning.

Eventually, he reach a lone Sutherland in tall building. Lelouch's stolen Sutherland. Lancelot lands a blow but the Sutherland manage to block in time but the vibiration cause the floor to shattered and those Knightmare falls down 4 level below. Just in time, Kallen arrived with her battle scared Glasgow but it's easily defeated by the 7th Generation Knightmare. Lelouch takes that time to escape from the Lancelot but it's eventually catch him up.

Lelouch shoots anything that can slow down or stop the Lancelot from pursuing him. From the lights pole to building blocks. It did slow the Lancelot down before it's stop completely from pursuing him. Just to save a falling civillian from the ground. With the smoke from the building blocks block the Lancelot view, he conceed his tactical defeat and ejects from the Knightmare. After his ejection pod lands. A soldier noticed the pod and went immediately to the location before being Geassed by Lelouch when he arrived there and takes his uniform and weapon.

G1 Mobile Base

The battlefield finally calmed down though the massacre are still ongoing. Prince Clovis asked Bartley and his men to escort Keira to a room for his safety as he and his uncle, V.V, can't afford to have Keira lost.

Meanwhile, outside the mobile base a little commotion appear as a lone footsoldier approach the guard of the mobile base —

"Stop there! Your I.D? This is Prince Clovis's personal transport."

"At last, the checkpoint and barely guarded for my plan.", the soldier remove his helmet and mask, revealed Lelouch in disguise of a soldier.

"Your plan?"

"That right. Now I'd like you to let me pass.", with that, the guard didn't hesitate to stop Lelouch from entering the mobile base. Because of the Geass of course but after awhile of walking inside. He stumble upon Bartley and his crew plus Keira himself. Before Bartley could ask or say anything, Lelouch activate his Geass and commands all to go way and forget what they saw earlier. The geass also effect Keira with ease. After they left, Lelouch walks towards where Prince Clovis are.

Shinjuku ghetto storage warehouse

Many civillian had been slaughter but there're some who's still seek shelter. Including the surviving rebels from the earlier.

"Ohgi, who's that voice we heard?", asked Kallen as they walk passed the refugees.

"Damn if i know. He doesn't answer when i called. So maybe he—"

The talk are cut off when the Britannian soldiers found out their hideout. The commotion inside the warehouse are too loud. Perhaps that may already attract the soldiers attention. As the soldier march on and prepare the empty their magazines. A sudden message and command from Prince Clovis can be heard across the ghetto.

"Attention all forces! Ceasefire at once! I, Clovis, The Third Prince of Britannia and Royal Viceroy of Area 11 hereby command you, all forces are order to ceasefire at once! You'll also to cease any destruction of any building or properties. Whether Britannian or Elevens, should be treated equally and without prejudice! In the name of Clovis la Britannia, you're hereby order, ceasefire at once. I shall allow no futher fighting!"

When the transmission ended. Every single soldiers and Elevens are shocked by the announcment. It's so sudden. No gunshot. Not even a single shot is heard after that. The ghetto turns quiet as it before the massacre.

G1 Mobile Base

The lights are off inside the main command centre. The doors are locked too. Prince Clovis is now held at the gunpoint of a single soldier.

"Are you satisfied?", asked Clovis to the gunman, who chuckled after heard that.

"Very. Well done."

"What shall we do now? Sing few lively ballets? Or perhaps a nice game of chess?"

Despite being held, Prince Clovis manage to maintain his calm.

"That has a familiar ring.", the gunman then throw off his helmet. It's still too dark to notice who he is.

"Don't you recalled? The two of us used to play chess together as boys. Of course, i would always win."

"What—"

"Remember, at the Aries Villa?"

"You, who are you?!"

"It's been a long time big brother.", the gunman then moves closer towards Prince Clovis where his face are more recognisable to the prince, which came a shock for him.

"The late son of the late consort Marianne and 17th inline to the Imperial Throne, Lelouch vi Britannia at your service."

"Le...Lelouch? B..but i though you're—", Prince Clovis are tremble to see his dead brother are alive and well infront of him.

"I was dead? You're wrong.", a long paused between stands between them before Lelouch opens up.

"I've return, your highness. And i've comback to change everything."

"I..I am overjoyed Lelouch. They said you died when Japan was brought into the fold. What a blessing to have you back, we should depart for the homeland immediately—"

"So you could use me as a tool of diplomacy? It seems you've forgotten why we're used as tools in the first place."

That word shocked Clovis. He didn't even know anything about that.

"That's right. It's because my mother was killed. Mother held the title Knight of Honoured but was a commoner by birth. No doubt other imperial are helding their tempted...Even though you make it like a work of a terrorist, I'm no fool. You people kill my mother!", Lelouch are pissed off after reminds on what happened on the fateful day back then. He was only 10 years old.

"It wasn't me! I swear to you it wasn't!", Clovis deeply deny that it's not his work but Lelouch isn't convince and decide to use his Geass on Clovis.

"Then tell me everything you know. The truth cannot be hidden from me any longer. By whose hand she was slain?!"

"My brother, 2nd Prince Schniezel and 2nd Princess Cornelia. They can tell you.", Clovis is under Geass. What he told is the truth. He does clearly doesn't know anything about it.

"That's all that you know, isn't it.", Lelouch deactivate his Geass. Immediately bring Clovis to his present self.

"I swear it wasn't me! I had nothing to do with it!"

"I believe you. However—", Lelouch move closer to Clovis and point his gun towards Clovis's forehead.

"We may have different mother but you and I are still blood!"

"You can't change the world without getting your hands dirty."

Gunshot is heard across the mobile base and that's wakes up Keira, who's resting inside a room.
