(Charles's Perspective)
Lelouch, Nunnally, Jeremiah and Charles are walking straight to the black limousine after the talk. At the door of the ST Dorm are the Ashfords and Lelouch's friends, Milly is talking about the new titles the Emperor gave them with Shirley. Suddenly something terrible happened.
BANG
Lelouch felt something sharp pierce and erupt from the right part of his chest, immediately knowing it's a bullet, a sniper bullet to be precise, which was enough to make him collapse at a growing pool of his own blood.
When everyone saw this, their expressions of curiosity and happiness changed into shock, horror and fear. Moments later panic erupted on the entire campus. Everyone was screaming while the guards became more alert, Nunnally quickly wheeled to her brother with Jeremiah with tears in her eyes, Jeremiah cursed himself once again for failing to protect the Vi Britannia's, Charles Zi Britannia just stands motionless and looks at Lelouch. For him this is a test for Lelouch's ability to survive; due to the fact that surviving a near death event will make a person stronger.
"LULU!" Shirley and Milly screamed in unison as they ran straight to the person they love, from what everyone is seeing they are more horrified than anyone, they are follow by the Student Council and the Ashfords.
Lelouch is heavily breathing now that he is now just above the hands of death; he opened his eyes and his friends and family. Rivalz looks at the main building of Ashford and saw a red haired figure with a sniper rifle in the rooftop, immediately knowing it's the culprit he called everyone's attention.
"Everyone, there's the assassin." Rivalz yelled which made most look at the rooftop and saw a girl with a sniper.
"Guards, capture that assassin, she has harmed a member of the royal family." Jeremiah charges at the building along with other guards.
Shirley places her palm at the bullet wound in hopes of stopping the bleeding.
"We need to get him to a hospital fast." Shirley said as she places Lelouch's arms behind her neck, Rivalz does the same as they go to the limousine which is still waiting for them.
They opened doors of the car and enter it; the internal length and width of the limousine is enough to fit everyone.
"Driver, get to the nearest hospital fast!" Milly yelled at the driver who then began to drive as fast as he can while being escorted by 3 APCs and 4 Sutherlands.
(Kallen's Perspective)
Kallen stabs a guard in the chest and stole his pistol, she ran straight to the door a few meter in front of her and bashed it open and saw Jeremiah with a group of four soldiers.
"She's here." Jeremiah grabs aimed and fired his handgun at Kallen's right leg, crippling her.
She then fell to the ground with blood leaking from her wound, she aimed her handgun at the guards and fires at them but only missed, and she kept firing until she ran out of bullets.
"Oh no." Kallen said to herself.
"She ran out of ammunition, secure her." Jeremiah and the soldiers ran to the downed Kallen with one guard carrying silver handcuffs.
A soldier hand cuffed her while Jeremiah and the others aim their weapons at the woman in case she broke free. Once handcuffed, the soldier pulls her up forcing her to stand despite the injury, never before in her life she never felt a wound so painful than this. She fell to her right knee unable to withstand the pain; however the soldier grabs her hair and pulls her up in a painful manner as she scream in agony.
Jeremiah opened his ear communicator and calls all guards. "This is Jeremiah Gottwald of the Purist Faction, we've captured the culprit."

(Charles's Perspective)
The limousine arrives in front of the hospital only minutes after Lelouch was shot. The escorts surround the entire entrance with the APCs deploying their soldiers to form a curved wall and the Sutherlands forming a triangular position pointing behind the soldiers. The bystanders seem to understand that a royal person is in here but they don't know why. The SC members and the Ashfords open the doors and quickly move to a specific door where they open it and pull out a pale Lelouch. The bystanders; both Britannians and Japanese stops whatever their doing and looks at the current situation of the prince in surprise and horror.
"Anyone and please help us, his highness is in the brink of death." Rivalz shouted as he and Shirley carry Lelouch by his hands. The nearby hospital staff quickly responded by bringing a stretcher and placing the prince there as the rush to the Emergency Room. The emperor came out of the limousine and hears the murmurs of the surprised crowd.
"It's the emperor."
"What is he doing in Area 11?"
Charles just ignores them and walks straight to the hospital to find the others as the people inside the hospital gave way to him.
(CC's Perspective)
A green haired store clerk is just about is along with the crowd who saw what happened, she clearly recognized the 2 teenagers as the children of Marianne Vi Britannia; Lelouch and Nunnally Vi Britannia. She breaks away from the crowd and walks to her store which is a dozen blocks away from her current location. Suddenly she hears a voice.
"Good morning C.C, how are you today?" the feminine voice asked.
"I am fine Marianne, but it looks like your son isn't." C.C said.
"Lelouch?" Marianne becomes curious. "What kind of trouble did he get into this time?"
"He didn't get into any kind of trouble, I saw him get carried into the hospital because he was shot somewhere in the chest." C.C said.
"Oh my!" Marianne was shocked by what happened to her son.
"Anyway you regained your body right? So why not see him Marianne." C.C said.
Marianne isn't sure about this, knowing that if she shows herself to the public for it might expose geass to the world "I'm not sure C.C; if I showed myself to the public, the secret of Geass will be exposed."
"You could use a disguise Marianne." C.C suggested.
"Hmm... that could work, meet me at the park in 7:30 PM, I will bring someone along with me." Marianne said.
"Who?" C.C is curious because no one gets to see Marianne but her, so who's the other one.
"Rai." Marianne said.
C.C knew about Rai thanks to his contractor; V.V. From what she heard he was born form Japanese and Britannian Royalty, his Britannian relatives were abusing his Japanese relatives ever since the conquering of Area 11, which made him acquire a Geass to kill them. V.V locked him in a Thought Elevator when Rai wished to die following the death of his mother and sister. Due to the extreme pain and suffering of their deaths, he geassed himself into forgetting everything.

(Charles Perspective)
Everyone is still in Lelouch's hospital room waiting for him to wake up. Nunnally is holding her brother's hand while Shirley and Milly are beside her. Rivalz and the Ashfords wonder why Milly is more worried than everyone else like Shirley and Nunnally are. The Emperor receives the report that the culprit is identified and is planned to be executed by the following day at 9:00 AM and informs everyone about this.
"The assassin is identified to be Kallen Stadtfeld; the half blood child of Baron Robert Stadtfeld and his eleven maid." The SC members were shocked because they thought that Kallen Stadtfeld was a pure Britannian but they were wrong. "She has a connection to the terrorists in Area 11 and is planned to be executed in the plaza on the following day for attempted regicide on my son Lelouch Vi Britannia." He announced with a loud voice. The SC doesn't want this to happen for they have started having a close connection to Kallen yesterday but they have no power to do so. The Ashfords can't use their power as grand dukes and duchess because their titles' only limit is that they can't interfere with the emperor's decisions.
"I expect you all to attend the execution of this lowly eleven." Charles said before going out of the room for he has to attend on something, leaving the others in the room.
Chinese Federation-Gobi Desert-Geass Order-Proving Grounds
3:00 PM, Tuesday
V.V, Dr. Carl Marscin and all scientists are at a high tower inside the domed proving ground inside the geass order in order to see the performance of Dr. Carl Marscin's Bioweapon.
Dr. Carl Marsrin is an Immortal young man wearing a white lab coat. he has a brown hair, brown eyes, light build body and an extremely white skin. he was born in 1848 a.t.b to britannian commoners. he and his mother had experienced a tragic life from his abusive father. sometime later when he's 9 years old he met Dr. Maurice Renza; a biologist and discovers that he's an immortal. he claims to know everything about Carl's life and made a contract with him; which gave carl his geass "the power of absolute demise" which allows him to instantly kill any person by shutting down their brain, he wants as long as he knows them. using this power he kills his father and those whoever attempts to hurt him and his mother. at the age of 16, he saw his mother got shot in the head by Dr. Maurice for unknown reasons, he attempted to use his geass on him but fails due to Maurice's geass immunity. maurice told carl that the only way to kill him is to take his code which will make him an immortal. he accepted the offer and takes away his code killing him and making carl a deathless being.
A year later after that, he is still not letting go of the past but plans to fullfill his mothers dream of him becoming a scientist just like her father. so he attended Albion University and graduated with the degree of "doctorate in genetics". Months later he is discovered as an immortal and invited him to work as a geneticist in their organization by a man, this is when he discovers the Geass Order.
5 years later, he became the head scientist of the order due to his magnificent expertise.
According to some people, he had a year long romantic relationship with the former director; C.C which ended when she left the order. Carl was greatly saddened by her departure.
"Send out the test subjects" V.V yelled and then 10 abducted Chinese soldiers were thrown inside and starts to demand where are they. Suddenly a hatch opened in the floor and a 4.76 meter high figure jumped out and landed in front of the Chinese who are intimidated by its appearance. It has the appearance of a pale bald red eyed mouthless man wearing a black trench coat reaching its feet and black clawed gauntlets with geass symbols on the hand. This being is called a Kaiser was result of the Kaiser Program; the development of powerful bioweapons through cloning and genetics which gives the kaiser its superhuman speed, size, strength, agility, durability, near invincibility and rapid regeneration. A microchip is placed inside the brain of the creature which acts as its where it will receive commands from the commander. A camera is built inside its eyes so the commander can see what the kaiser sees
"OPEN FIRE!" a terrified Chinese open fires at the kaiser using his assault rifle and is followed by the others. However their bullets were useless to the kaiser who is just standing not even feeling an itch from the bullets. The Chinese however didn't stop firing for they are still hoping that this creature will take a damage. After a few seconds of firing their guns ceased to recoil and bullets were no longer coming out of the holes of the barrels. They where now hopeless to the beast and its hands of death which when it grabbed a hold of you, you will surely die.
Seeing that the Chinese has ran out of ammunition to throw against the creature. The Kaisers operator gives it the signal to kill them. The kaiser slowly walks forward to the helpless soldiers. each time it makes a step to the ground the ground shakes which gives the kaiser a very terrifying and menacing presence. this makes them only more scared on the frightening presence of the monster.
"RUN!" a Chinese ran to the closed door where they previously entered and bangs it with his two arms screaming and pleading for help. He is soon followed by the others save for three men who grabbed their dadao swords and bravely but foolishly faced their demise. One of them charges at the kaiser and jumps attempting to vertically slice its face. However. . .
PING
The Chinese landed very close to the beast and saw his blade broke away from the sword and pierced the floor near the Kaisers right foot. Looking up, the kaiser red burning eyes meet his shaking eyes allowing him to see its face before its large hand grabs his entire head and lifts him up. The man is now screaming in fear as he begs the beast to spare him, but the creature itself is only a puppet devoid of any free will, it may possess sentience but not sapience, it is controlled by a puppeteer who gives it purpose, without him/her the puppet will just be a purposeless object just laying on the ground waiting for someone to command it.
The Kaiser crushes the man's head using its hands severing the body from the crushed head. The remaining two were horrified but realized that they must buy some time for their comrades to possibly escape alive and tell the generals what happened. They charged at the beast with with foolish bravery. The kaiser grabbed the 1st Chinese in the torso and dugs the fingers from its right hand at the mans abdomen as he screams due to the extreme agony. The kaiser pulled everything inside the abdomen spilling blood all around his face and torso as the man lets out his strongest scream. The kaiser drops him to the ground so the man can experience a slow yet extremely painful death. The kaiser grabs the last man on the lower body with his right arm before lefting him up and grabing the upper body with his left. Once high from the ground, it pulls on opposite directions intending to tear him in half as the man screams in pain until.
PTTTSSSSHHHH
Huge amounts of blood and guts splashed to the floor from the now torn dead body of the last Chinese who fought bravely. The kaiser dropped the body and ran to the remaining Chinese who now have given up on ever escaping and are now begging the creature to have mercy and spare them.
V.V and the others on the tower can now see and hear the screams of the Chinese and the splashes of both blood and flesh in all direction. V.V looks at Carl who has a normal expression on his face ever since the Performance started.
"You've done well Doctor Marsrin, i V.V hereby announce that this experiment has passed, I grant you the duty to monitor the creation of the Kaisers and the privilege to use them for your own desires." V.V said as he turns back and walked straight to the door leaving the room. Carl can hear the praisings of his fellow scientists for the new weapon he created. He plans to develop a countermeasure just in case something goes horribly wrong. he glances at his creation who was now covered entirely on blood from the people it killed.
"I think I'm adding, improvements." he plans to make improvements on the Kaisers to make them more powerful and walks straight out of the room.
