Code Geass: Rebirth through Freedom and Redemption Chapter 5: The Stage is Set: An Alliance is Formed
"The what?" Ohgi questioned as he looked at Ryu, Jay, and Shinn.
"We are on board the Deep Space Colony Ship Valhalla." Ryu said
"H-hold on," Lelouch said "no one not even Britannia has been able to reach space so how are you able to do it?"
Jay smiled "Who said we were even from your planet?" he asked as Lelouch and the resistance fighters widened their eyes.
Kallen pointed her finger at them "Y-you guys are aliens?" She asked
Shinn nodded his head "In a matter of speaking, yes." He said as Axle appeared out of nowhere scaring Lelouch and the Resistance fighters.
"Ah Axle," Ryu said looking at the hologram "is there a problem?"
Axle shook his head "No sir," he said "but the other generals would like to speak with you at the conference room, they said it involves the Code-R project that Clovis was working on."
Ryu nodded his head "Alright tell them will be there in a few minutes," he said "Also please show our guests here to one of the many rooms we have here." He finished as Axle nodded his head as he, Jay, and Shinn prepared to leave.
"Wait!" Lelouch and Ohgi said at the same time making the three of them stop.
"Yes?" Ryu asked as he turned back towards them.
"Can we go with you," Ohgi asked "I would like to know who you guys are."
Lelouch nodded his head in agreement "I would also like to know about who you are and what the project Clovis did was." He said.
Ryu nodded his head "Alright," he said "you can come, the rest of you will follow Axle here, he will show you where the rest of you will be staying." He finished as he Jay, Shinn, Ohgi, and Lelouch left the group.
The other resistance members looked at Axle as he showed them the way.
"This way if you please," Axle said as he pointed to a door.
"Ah what exactly are you?" Yoshida, another member of the Shinjuku resistance, asked as the followed him.
"I am Axle an Artificial Intelligent being who helps run the Valhalla." Axle said as everyone else was shocked at what they were hearing.
Scene Break:
Back with Ryu and the others, they were entering a room with a giant table. Inside the room, all of the leading Generals and Midori as well as two other people were sitting at the table talking to each other.
One was a blond haired dark skinned man wearing a ZAFT white commander uniform. He was known as Dearka Elsman. Dearka fought in the first two Bloody Valentine wars. After the second war, Dearka took early retirement and got married to Miriallia Haw, one of Kira's old friends; the two of them had a simple life for two years. They even had a one year old boy who they named Marcus Tolle Elsman. Miriallia suggested Tolle to remember her old boyfriend who died in the past and Dearka didn't mind. However when the third war with the Librarian organization picked up and he heard that his old friends Athrun and Yzak perished during one of the many battles, Dearka enlisted into Terminal to help protect the Plants and the Earth in their honor. Now he was a full-fledged commander for the Terminal although he did wear the ZAFT white commander uniform for some reason.
The last person was a man with spiky brown hair, had a blue bandana on, and was wearing a yellow vest, black and red t-shirt, and blue jeans. This man was Lowe Guele one of the members of the infamous Junk Guild. The Junk Guild was an organization that helped supply Terminal with materials to help build some of their mobile suits. During the third war, many members of the Junk Guild were eliminated but Lowe as well a few others made it out in one piece.
"Hey Dearka, Lowe, good to see you." Jay said as he went up to the two of them and they each pounded their fists together.
"It's good to see you guys too," Dearka said as he studied to two knew people behind Jay, Ryu, and Shinn "who are the new guys?"
"Oh right," Ryu said as he pointed to Ohgi and Lelouch "this Kaname Ohgi, leader of the resistance fighters in Shinjuku, and this is Lelouch Lamperouge or Lelouch vi Britannia, former 11 prince of the holy Britannian Empire."
"Hi," Ohgi said
"Hello," Lelouch said
Jay then pointed to Dearka and Lowe "Ohgi, Lelouch, this Dearka Elsman, one of the commanders of Terminal and an old friend of mine, this guy next to him is Lowe Guele a member of the Junk Guild, a group of junk collectors and techs." He finished as he pointed at Mu "I know Ohgi knows who these people are but for Lelouch's sake I'll introduce them. The blond haired man with the scar is Mu La Flaga, the woman with the brown hair is his wife Murrue, the red-violet haired girl with the short hair is Lunamaria Hawke or Luna as we like to call her, and the other red-violet haired girl is her sister Meyrin Hawke and you already know the rest." He finished as the others greeted Lelouch. Jay then noticed that two people were missing from the meeting "Hey where are Ms. Simmons and the Professor?"
"They said they wanted to see some of the Knightmare frames we brought back with us." Kira said with a smile remembering how they had taken the Sutherlands that were left from the battle "Now let's get back to business." She finished as her face became serious.
"Right," Ryu said as he, Jay, Shinn, Lelouch, and Ohgi took a seat at the table "Ohgi, Lelouch, do any of you have any questions?"
Ohgi and Lelouch nodded their heads "Who are you guys exactly?" Lelouch asked as Ohgi nodded his head in agreement.
For the next few hours, everyone their explained to Ohgi and Lelouch everything about who they were, about Coordinators, about the two Bloody Valentine wars, the mobile suits they had, about the battle with the Librarian organization, and even how they ended up here.
"… and that's how we ended up here." Lacus said finishing the story of their lives.
Ohgi whistled "That was some story," he said "after hearing that story; I think I am glad I was born here."
Lelouch nodded his head "I also agree," he finished as his look became sad "and I am sorry about all the people that were lost." He finished as everyone else nodded their heads. "I have a question," Lelouch said "Why did you help us?" he asked and Ohgi nodded his head in agreement.
"It's quite simple," Jay said "We don't like those who have power should oppress those who don't. We members of Terminal believe that those who have power should help those that don't."
Lelouch nodded his head in understanding "I see," he said
Ryu turned to Kira "So I heard you guys finished decoding the Code-R project Clovis was working on." He said
Kira nodded her head as she brought up the information onto one of the monitors in the room "Code-R was a top secret Britannian military research project which was overseen by Prince Clovis." She explained "Clovis employed something called Rosenberg Institute which is under the leadership of one of his most loyal men named Bartley Asprius. According to information we received it focuses on the experimentation of a power known as Geass and immortality from a girl whose name is C.C." Kira said as a picture of a girl with long green hair and yellow eyes appeared as Lelouch's eyes widen. Kira noticed this "I am guessing you met this person Mr. Lamperouge?"
Lelouch nodded his head "Yes," he said "she gave me Geass. But she is dead…"
"I doubt it," May said "from the information we got on Code-R, I wouldn't be surprised if she is alive; the information stated that she is immortal"
"What is Geass?" Ohgi asked
Lacus then brought up information about Geass on the screen "Geass, also known as the power of the kings, is a mysterious ability which certain people can bestow upon others; like C.C. here. The Geass power manifests differently in each individual, possibly related to their inner desires and personality. It is also proven that the power of Geass increases with use, and should the users of the Geass power lack the willpower, they may be consumed by it, also the power of Geass is represented by a glowing, bird-shaped symbol." She finished as she looked at Lelouch "So what does your power do Lelouch?"
Lelouch's left eye flared with the Geass in it "My Geass is known as "the power of absolute obedience," this allows me to plant commands within a person's mind upon direct contact. But the draw back on it is that I can only use it once per person"
Mu nodded his head in understanding "So how many people did you use that power on?" he asked
"Only a few people," Lelouch said "the first time I used it was to force Royal guards belonging to Clovis to kill themselves, the second time I used it on a Knightmare frame pilot and stole her Knightmare frame from her, and the last time I used it was on Kallen."
"You used this power on Kallen?" Ohgi roared
"Relax Ohgi," Lelouch said "all I asked her to do was to give me information about her and why she would be involved in terrorism, nothing more. In fact I then tried to order her to forget about Shinjuku but it didn't work." He finished as he looked at Kira and Ryu "Which I would like to know as why it didn't work on you two."
"I have two theories about that," May said as she brought up some medical data on Kira and Ryu "One theory is that Geass only affects people who are born on the planet, the other is that someone like Kira and Ryu, who have higher brain wave functions are immune to Geass. Either one of these theories would work but I would have to run tests to see."
Ryu nodded his head "Very well," he said "Any other information that may be of use to us?"
"There was a mention of something called Geass Order…" Luna said "but there is no information about it; we plan on looking in to it."
Ryu nodded his head "Understood, anything else that should be mentioning?" he asked
Dearka smirked as he lifted a remote and aimed it at the screen "Yeah," he said as he activated the screen and switched it to the news "it seems the three of you made the news."
"Our top story for tonight," the news anchor said "Princess Cornelia, Prince Davis, and the purist faction were utterly defeated by three new Knightmare Frames." He said as scenes of Ryu, Jay, and Shinn fighting against the Britannians appeared. "It is hard to determine if these new Knightmares are a part of any of the known terrorists within Area 11, more information will be updated when new information is present."
"Well that was interesting," Jay said "if that is all I think we call this meeting over right?"
Ryu nodded his head "Yep, I call this meeting adjourned," he said as everyone got up from their seats "Axle," Ryu said as Axle appeared.
"Yes general," Axle said
"I want you to take Ohgi and Lelouch here to his friends," Ryu said
Axle nodded his head "Yes sir," he said as he was about to show them to where they would stay.
"Hold on," May said stopping Lelouch and Ohgi "Lelouch, I need you, Ryu, and Kira… it's about Nunnally's condition. I need you three to come with me to the medic building."
Lelouch nodded his head "Got it," he said as he, Ryu, and Kira followed May while Axle showed Ohgi to where his friends were.
Scene Break:
Back with the other resistance fighters, they were looking at the room they had been given.
"This place is huge," Tamaki commented as he and the others looked at the room. The room itself was about 20 feet wide and 30 feet long. It had a second story with a few beds for them to sleep in. On the lower part, it had some-type of device that looked like a cabinet, a 30 inch flat screen TV, a few couches, and even a coffee table where they could sit.
"I got to say that this place is a lot better than our hideout." Kallen commented as the door behind them opened as Ohgi and Axle entered the room.
"Wow…"Ohgi commented while looking around "so this is where we are staying in huh?"
Axle nodded his head "Indeed," he said "if that is all you will be needing I must be getting back to the bridge."
"Wait," Inoue said making Axle stop "We didn't find a fridge with food."
Axle turned around "Do you see that device over there?" He asked as he pointed to the cabinet device.
"Yeah?" Inoue said
"It's a food replicator," Axle said "all you have to do is say what type of food you want and it will replicate it for you." He finished as he approached the device "Watch," he said as he pressed a red button on the device "Water…" he said as a glass of water appeared into the device shocking everyone there "See oh and please be advised that you shouldn't over use the replicator too much or you may damage it and on a final note the TV in this room is linked to the TV systems of Japan so if you want to watch TV feel free to. Any other questions?" he asked as no one said anything "if that is all I will take my leave." He said as he disappeared
Everyone looked at Ohgi "So what did you learn?" Sugiyama asked
"It's a long story…" Ohgi said as he began to explain who these guys are and where they came from.
Scene Break:
Back with Lelouch, Kira, Ryu, and May, all four of them entered a giant building that looked like a hospital. Inside the hospital, many different people were running around doing their duties as a doctor.
"Follow me," May said as she showed them to her private work room. They walked down the hall for a few minutes before coming to a door with the words "Dr. Ryosukei's office." The group then entered the room to find Nunnally sitting on a bed while Sayoko was reading a book to her.
"Nunnally," Lelouch called out to her as he approached her
Nunnally turned her head towards his direction "Brother," she said "is that you?"
Lelouch approached Nunnally and touched her hand "Yes," he said "it's me how have you been?"
"I'm fine," Nunnally said "Mrs. Yamato and Dr. Ryosukei have been taking good care of me. Is it true that we are in space?"
Lelouch nodded his head "Yes Nunnally we are in space." He said
Nunnally smiled "That's great;" she said "I can't wait to see it."
"Yo Lelouch," Ryu called out to him "we need to speak with you." He finished as Lelouch nodded his head. He turned to Nunnally telling her that he would be back and then he followed Ryu, Kira, and May towards a separate room inside the office.
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, back on Gaia, Cornelia had just woken up that morning. Her entire body was in pain. When she looked around the area she saw that she was in her room. When she tried to move her right arm, she realized that it was in a sling. Gritting her teeth, she got out of bed and proceeded to her phone to call her knight Guilford.
"Hello," Guilford said as he answered the phone
"Guilford," Cornelia said
"My Lady is there something you need?" Guilford asked on the phone
"Yes," Cornelia said "in one hour I want a meeting with you, Darlton, Davis, Clovis, Euphie, the leader of the Purist faction, the two scientists of the R&D department, and that eleven do you understand?"
"My Lady you need to rest…." Guilford said before being interrupted.
"Do you understand Guilford?" Cornelia yelled
"Y-yes my Lady…" Guilford said shaken at the tone Cornelia used with him as he hung up.
Cornelia then collapsed onto the bed and noticed that her good hand was shaking.
'Get a grip Cornelia,'Cornelia thought to herself as she tried to hold her fear 'if you don't act strong, the emperor will use Euphie against you…the same way Nunnally was used against Lelouch…' she thought as she looked outside the window.
In truth, Cornelia, Euphie, Davis, Clovis, and three other people loved Lelouch and Nunnally very much. In fact when the two of them were pronounced dead, everything began to break apart. Each of them felt like they lost something dear to them when they died. Although Cornelia may seem heartless on the battle field, there was always one thing she loved and that was her siblings Euphie, Davis, Clovis, Lelouch, and Nunnally. She would do anything to protect them, even go the depths of hell to rescue them.
'Maybe I can even find out as to where their graves are,' Cornelia thought 'and I need to talk to Davis, according to father, he left Pendragon suddenly three days prior to the incident in Shinjuku.' She finished as she began to shake again. She then clenched her fist trying to get rid of the fear 'ah…I haven't felt this scared sense that day I saw Lady Marriene fight against that person all those years ago.'
Flashback 10 years ago:
A 16 year old Cornelia was walking through the woods looking for Lady Marriene. Lady Marriene had left her in charge of the house and her children while she had to go somewhere. Letting curiosity get the better of her, she decided to follow her in secret. So she left a guard name Jeremiah Gottwald, in charge while she was gone. Unfortunately, she lost her while heading into the forest.
"Where could she be?" Cornelia said as she had been walking around in circles for a few minutes. "I was sure she went this way." She said as she began to hear the sound of metal clashing with metal.
"Come on Marriene you need to do better…" A female voice said
"I am giving it my all," Marriene's voice said "it's just that your style is different than others."
Cornelia followed the voice towards a clearing to see who Lady Marriene was fighting. When she got to the clearing, she saw Lady Marriene fighting against someone in a black and blue robe. In both their hands were swords. Cornelia was about to interfere with Marriene's fight and stop the robed stranger. But when she was about to intervene she saw an aura of power and authority coming from the black and blue robbed person. When she saw that aura, she became so scared that she looked at the power with awe and fear; she believed that not even her father had this type of power.
"Come on Marriene you can do better than that." The robed female said as she pushed her sword through Marriene's sword and forced it out of Marriene's hand. The robbed person then put the sword to Marriene's neck.
Marriene sighed as she looked at the sword at her neck "So what's the score now?" she asked
"I believe the score is 150 to 10 with me in the lead." The robed woman said shocking Cornelia that someone was strong enough to fight against Marriene.
"Hey during half those times I was only a teenager," Marriene said trying to defend herself.
"That's still not an excuse." the robed female said as she sat down on a rock "you know I taught you everything you know."
Marriene sighed as she sat on the rock with the robbed person "Your right." She said in defeat.
"So how have you and your family been," the robbed female asked
"My two children are good," Marriene said as she smiled at the mention of them "Lelouch is becoming a fine young man and Nunnally is starting to become a beautiful young woman as well." She finished as she turned to the robbed woman "You know you should come and visit them, it be nice if you at least saw them."
The robbed woman shrugged "It's not like I don't see them when I can." She said
Marriene looked at the woman blackly "Watching from the shadows doesn't count." She said
"I know but I just like to stay in the shadows at the moment." The woman said "So how have you and your husband and the kid been doing?"
Marriene sighed "Charles and I are fine, our love for each other is strong, but my relationship with the little half pint is lowering day by day, I swear he is going to do something I will regret. Although the stern talking you gave them shook them a little."
The robed woman nodded her head "I am the only person immune to them and plus your father isn't here to give them a stern talking to…"she said as she and Marriene laughed
Cornelia was unable to listen to the rest of the conversation because she accidentally stepped on a branch.
The robed woman tensed "What was that?" she asked
Marriene looked around "I don't know," she said as she looked in Cornelia's direction "but I think it came from over there."
Not wanting Lady Marriene to find her or to feel her wrath, Cornelia made a break back towards the Aries Villa.
Flashback End:
Cornelia sighed as she thought about the incident 'And after Lady Marriene's death I went to look for this strange woman,' she thought 'but I couldn't find her… but I wonder who she was and why did Lady Marriene know her, ' she thought not knowing when her question would be answered in the near future.
Scene Break:
Back on the Valhalla, Lelouch entered the room in which he would talk to May about Nunnally's condition. As he closed the door, he saw Kira, Ryu, and May sitting at a table to waiting for him.
"So how's Nunnally's condition," Lelouch asked "can you heal her?"
May looked at Lelouch with a serious look "I have good news and bad news." She said "Which do you want to hear first."
"The good news please…" Lelouch said
"Alright the good news is that we can repair her legs," May said "by using something called nano technology, we plan on using them to repair her damaged leg nerves. The process will only take about a few hours to do. However she would need rehabilitation in order for her to walk fully which would take around a month or two."
"That's good," Lelouch said "what about her eyes?"
"That's the bad news," May said as she brought the info on Nunnaly's brain waves "it seems that the reason that Nunnally is unable to see isn't because of the traumatic events but because something is blocking the signals from the eyes that would lead to her brain."
"What do you mean?" Lelouch asked
"See here," May said as she brought her finger to one of the areas of Nunnally's brain "this is the part of the brain that picks up the signals from the 5 senses our body has. According to this scan it seems that there is some type of mental barrier that is preventing her sight from working."
"So how do we fix it?" Lelouch asked
"We can't fix it directly," May said "the only way for Nunnally to see is if she somehow overpowers the mental barrier."
"So what you're saying is that you can't help her?" Lelouch said disappointed
"I didn't say that," May said as she brought up the schematics for some type of helmet "this is known as a dream helmet it allows a person to be inside another person's dream, by going into her dream, you may be able to encourage her to see again. This will not harm your sister in anyway."
Lelouch nodded his head "Ok," He said "how many of these helmets you have?"
"Only three," May said "and Nunnally needs to wear one; so only two people can view Nunnally's dream. So whose going, I have to stay here and monitor the machine."
"I am going to be one of those who will be participating," Lelouch said "she is after all my sister."
"Understood," May said as she looked at Ryu and Kira "so which of you should go with Lelouch?"
"I'll go," Kira said
"Kira!" Ryu said
"No buts Ryu," Kira said as she looked at her "I remind her of her mother, she'll be more comfortable with me than with you Ryu."
Ryu and Kira started at each other for a few seconds before Ryu sighed "Ok," he said "you can be the one to do it just be careful."
Kira nodded his hand "I will," she said as she looked at May "How long till we start the process."
"One hour," May said "will start then." She finished as the others nodded their heads as they went to prepare the procedure.
Scene Break:
Back on Gaia, Cornelia was walking to the conference room. When she entered the room, everyone was there and turned their attention toward them. Guilford and Darlton had their heads wrapped in bandages. Jeremiah had his arm in a sling and had his head wrapped in bandages like Guilford and Darlton. Davis had some bandages on his cheek but nothing more, and the Suzaku, like Davis, had only small cuts on his cheek.
"Milady, are you alright?" Guilford asked
"I'll be fine Darlton," Cornelia said as she sat down to begin the meeting "Now I'll go on and ask WHAT THE HELL HAPPENEND OUT THERE?" she yelled
"Isn't it obvious sister," Davis said as she looked at her "we lost L-O-S-T lost. Not only was our defeat publicly broadcast but we were defeated by three units who each took on 20 units by themselves."
"And because of our lost," Guilford said "many terrorists have taken the call to act against us. We have been getting reports of terrorist attacks from places like Kushima, Kochi, and Hiroshima."
Cornelia gritted her teeth "and what of the elevens that live in the Shinjuku ghetto did you question them about this Terminal group?" she asked
Darlton shook his head "No milady," he said "we were unable to talk to anybody from the Shinjuku ghetto… it seems that all the people who lived there vanished."
"What?" Cornelia said "how can all those people vanish, I heard there were hundreds of people that lived there. They can't all have disappeared."
Everyone was quiet until Euphie raised her sister "Huh sister," she said "I may actually know what happened to them."
Everyone looked at her "You do?" Cornelia asked
Euphie nodded her head "The other day," she said "I was in the Shinjuku ghetto…"
"Euphie that was dangerous!" Cornelia yelled
"I know," Euphie said "I asked Suzaku here to take me to Shinjuku ghetto to see the damage for myself. We then went to a funeral service, after that the leader of the service said something about preparing for evacuation…"
"I see…" Cornelia said "so they evacuated the people huh? Any who lets get back to business shall we." She finished as everyone nodded their heads.
Guilford then brought up images of the Destiny, Strike Valor, and Dragon's Redemption "As you can see these three units were the ones who defeated us." He explained "these unites are somewhat larger than our Knightmare Frames and seem to have a new type of energy weapons." He finished as pictures of the the Destiny, Strike Valor, and Dragon's Redemption activated their beam weaponry. Guilford then turned to Lloyd "Earl Asplund do you have an explanation for these Knightmares weapons."
Lloyd frowned as he looked at the Destiny's M2000GX high-energy long-range beam cannon "This Frames weapon seems like a more powerful version of the VARIS rifle I plan on building for the Lancelot in fact it's even more powerful than the designs for the Hadron cannon I plan on adding for the Gawain. It's also surprising that they can control the energy rate of that weapon. If it had been any higher, our good friend from the Purist faction wouldn't be here." He said as Jeremiah frowned at the man.
Next was a picture of the Strike Valor's DRAGOON's and his beam sabers "This one's weapons are a mystery as to how they work," Lloyd explained "these black missiles seem to have a mind of their own as they dodged the shots from the Sutherlands." He finished as they began to fire green beams at the Sutherlands "and the fact that they shoot this mysterious energy beams gives them an edge and the fact they turned this energy into a physical weapon like that sword is really amazing, I would be surprised if the Maser Vibration Sword that the Lancelot uses could survive the impact from the sword."
Then pictures of the Dragon's Redemption's Lightwave Shield and DRAGOON Fangs appeared. "This one's weapons like the second, has those strange missiles. Three of them were able to make a shield that in my opinion is far superior to the Blaze Luminous Shielding that the Lancelot has and those missiles with the sharp energy blades to it are stronger than the Slash Harkens." He finished as he smiled at the three Mobile Suits "The armor of these machines is wonderful as well; even my lovely Maser Vibration Sword was unable to do more than give that black machine a scratch… I would love to see who created these interesting machines."
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, back on the Valhalla, Kira, Ryu, a woman with Brown hair, and another woman with brown hair and wearing glasses sneezed.
Scene Break:
"I don't get it," Davis said "if they had these so called powerful weapons, why didn't they use it the first time when they appeared?"
"They probably want to gauge our strength first," Darlton said "many good soldiers tend to test their opponents power beforehand."
Davis nodded his head "Now what do we do," he asked "we don't even know who they are much less where they went."
Guilford nodded his head "I have sent search parties to gather information about this Terminal group, hopefully will get information about them."
Cornelia gritted her teeth as she came to a realization "Darlton," she said "what was the casualty report for all our men?"
Darlton grabbed a report from the table and looked at it "All 60 Knightmare Frames were severely damaged, although none of the pilots were killed."
"I thought so," Cornelia said "so they were holding back…"
"Excuse me milady?" Guilford said as everyone was shocked at what she was saying
"They were holding back," Cornelia said "they didn't kill us… they just damaged our frames, if they weren't holding back we all wouldn't be here right now."
Everyone gulped at the realization "If this is how they fight when holding back," Davis said "then I don't think I would want to fight them when they don't hold back."
Cornelia sighed "If that is all, I will bring this meeting to a close," she said as she looked at Darlton and Guilford "I want the two of you to dig up any information about this Terminal group, see if they are in league with any of the known terrorist groups."
Guilford and Darlton bowed "Yes my lady," they both said as they exited the room.
Everyone else got up and was prepared to leave. When Davis was about to leave, Cornelia stopped him.
"I need to speak with you Davis," Cornelia said as Davis nodded his head as he sat back down in his chair again.
"What is wrong Cornelia?" Davis asked
"Why are you in Area 11," Cornelia asked "father said that you left from Pendragon in a hurry …"
Davis didn't say anything for a few seconds before he sighed "I got a tip on something important I have been looking for."
"What was the tip?" Cornelia asked
Davis got up from his chair and proceeded to walk up to a window and looked out toward the settlement "It was a tip about Lelouch and Nunnally, there is a report about them being alive." He said
"Davis they're dead, you need to accept that." Cornelia said. During the last 7 years, Davis had spent most of his free time looking for leads about Lelouch and Nunnally's location to see if they were alive.
"Don't say that!" Davis roared as he looked at Cornelia "You, Euphie, Clovis, and the others may be willing to give up but I don't. Lelouch was not only my brother Cornelia; he was also one of my only true friends I ever had."
Cornelia looked sadly at Davis "I know," she said "I'm sorry for saying that."
"It's ok," Davis said as he sighed and turned back towards the window "I'm sorry I got mad at you…"
Both of them stayed in silence for a few seconds before Davis turned to Cornelia.
"Did you know the real reason why Clovis ordered the destruction of the Shinjuku ghetto?" Davis asked
"I thought it was for Urban renewal and to wipe out the terrorists." Cornelia said
"I thought so too," Davis said "that is until that General from Terminal told me about a project called Code-R that he was working on. It seems the terrorists stole a vital component for the project and so in order to save his honor he decided to wipe out everyone there to keep them silenced. I asked Clovis to give me a full report of the project, half the information he gave me was blacked out and I might like to add all the important information. When I confronted him about it, he said that General Bartley was in charge of all the projects material and that this report was all he had on the subject."
"Where's General Bartley now?" Cornelia asked
Davis shrugged "I have no idea," he said "Clovis said that he has no idea either, Bartley just dropped off the radar."
Cornelia nodded her head "So what was the project about?" she asked
"The only information that I got from the report was that the project had something to do with the idea of immortality and something called Geass." Davis said shocking Cornelia.
"Immortality," Cornelia asked "so what does this project have to do with immortality?"
"Don't know," Davis said "that part of the file was blacked out."
"What about this Geass?" Cornelia asked
"Again, blacked out from the report," Davis said
"Is there anything useful in that report?" Cornelia asked
"You can look at it if you want," Davis said "it's in my room if you want to see it." He finished as she nodded her head as the two of them left the conference room and went towards Davis's room to get the report.
Scene Break:
Meanwhile at the Japan Liberation Front's headquarters in the Narita Mountains, a group of soldiers were talking among themselves about the events at Shinjuku.
"So has Kyoto said anything about those three Knightmare Frames," an old man with gray hair and wrinkles all over his face, this man was General Katase Tatewaki, one of the leaders of the Japan Liberation Front.
A man with black hair and a beard nodded his head "They tell us that they have no idea where these new Knightmares came from, they even said that these units maybe even stronger than the Guren Mk-II." He finished. This man was known as Lt Colonel Kusakabe, another leader of the Japan Liberation Front.
Katase nodded his head "So what about the resistance group in Shinjuku as well as its people, did you find them?"
Kusakabe shook his head "No," he said "the entire Shinjuku ghetto is completely deserted, no one is there at the moment and the Shinjuku resistance have also disappeared."
Katase then turned to a man with black hair and black eyes siting in the Japanese kneeling position with a sword in front of him "What is your opinion of these new Knightmare frames Tohdoh?" he asked
Then man, now identified as Lt. Colonel Kyoshiro Tohdoh, looked up at Katase "These new Knightmare frames in my opinion out class all Knightmare frames that have been created so far. Although the pilots have some lacked skills, but even then they are truly strong, I would hate to fight against them." He said as he looked at Katase "does this new group who owns these new Knightmare frames have a name?"
Katase nodded his head "According to information," he said "this group is known as Terminal."
"We should do something that will have the people looking at us," Kusakabe said "we need to get the world's attention on us not on this Terminal group."
"Even if we do get the world's attention what then," Tohdoh asked "what will happen, what we need to think about is our situation right now; if we continue to focus on getting attention to our group we may end up tripping ourselves." He finished as Kusakabe gritted his teeth and the rest were brought into silence.
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, on Mt. Fuji, six individuals were meeting with each other about these new Knightmare Frames. This group of individuals is known as the "Kyoto House," an organization of elite Japanese industrialists and plutocrats, who the Britannian Empire left in charge of running Japan's major industries, particularly its Sakuradite, a special mineral used to power Knightmare Frames, mining operations. The members of the group are Tatsunori Osakabe, Hidenobu Kubouin, Kaguya Sumeragi, Taizo Kirihara, and Tousai Munakata.
"So any luck in finding out which group owns these new Knightmare Frames? Did Rakshata Chawla know about these Knightmare Frames" Tatsunori Osakabe, a dark skinned Japanese man, asked
A bald old man wearing a brown kimono by the name of Taizo Kirihara shook his head "No," he said "She did not know, in fact when I showed her the images, she said that the person who built these Frames as and I quote "Out done even her" and that now she is working on new design to beat these ones and as to who may own these Knightmares, there is a rumor of a group called Terminal who are the proud owners of these new Knightmares."
"What about the resistance group in Shinjuku," Hidenobu Kubouin, a man wearing a yellow tannish Kimono, asked "Do they know about this Terminal group and who they are?"
A girl wearing priestess clothes who went by the name Kaguya Sumeragi shook her head "No, we couldn't contact them," she said "it seems they along with the rest of the residences of Shinjuku have disappeared completely."
Kubouin nodded his head "So what do we do know?" he asked
"Nothing," Kirihara said "until we know who we are dealing with we won't do anything, will just continue business like normal." He finished as everyone nodded their heads in understanding.
Scene Break:
Meanwhile at a TV station known as Hi-TV Studio, a man with sandy brown hair and brown eyes was looking at the video recordings of the battle happened yesterday. This man was known as Diethard Ried, a producer for Hi-TV Studio.
'Look at these machines,' Diethard thought as he saw the Destiny rip apart a Sutherland 'they don't even look like their even trying and that aura… these machines themselves could take out all of Britannia itself…' he said as he began to smile 'something tells me that a new era is about to begin…' he thought not knowing how right he was.
Back up on the Valhalla, mechanic teams were unloading and checking the Vanguards and Sutherlands for any damage.
"Let's go," a black hair gruffly man said "we need to unload all this equipment and check for any damage."
"Mr. Murdoch," a voice called behind him, when the gruffly man, now identified as Murdoch or Kojiro Murdoch, chief mechanic for the battle ship Archangel, looked behind him, he saw two teenagers one with light colored skin and brown and orange hair, the other one had dark skin and black hair. These two were known as Vino Dupre and Yolant Kent, mechanics for the battle ship Minerva.
Murdoch raised his hand and gave a wave "Yo," he said "you two need something?"
Vino shook his head "No," he said "we just finished unloading and checking some of the Vanguards to see if they were damaged, none of them had any major damage most only had some minor damage."
Yolant put his hands in his pocket "And these Sutherlands that we brought on board," he said "pathetic, even a GINN could take these things out."
Murdoch nodded his head, then another mechanic came running towards them.
"Sir we have a situation," the mechanic said
"What's the matter?" Murdoch asked
"You need to come with us," the mechanic said as he ran towards one of the containers followed by Murdoch, Vino, and Yolant.
"We were unloading one of the transport ships when we found someone inside." The mechanic said as he went inside the container. Inside the container was an unconscious green haired girl in a strait jacket floating in midair.
Murdoch turned to the mechanic "You idiot," he said "why didn't you call for a medic, there was barley any air in here when the ships left the planet. We're lucky that the transport container was pressurized otherwise she would be dead right now." He said as he looked at Vino and Yolant "You two you're coming with me," he said "will take her to the medic building, she'll probably need and oxygen capsule to wake her up, while the rest of you finish unloading and if you find more stowaways take them to medic building." He finished as everyone nodded their head. Vino and Yolant helped Murdoch put the girl on a transport car; they then started the car and drove towards the Medic building.
Scene Break:
Back inside the medical wing, May was preparing the helmets for Kira, Lelouch, and Nunnally to wear.
"Ok Nunnally," May said as she put the helmet on Nunnally's head "All I need you to do is take a nice little nap and when you wake up you should be able to see."
Nunnally nodded her head as she began to drift to sleep. May then went to a console where Ryu and Sayoko were at and prepared the machine. She then turned her head towards Kira and Lelouch as they put the helmets on.
"Ok," May said as she adjusted the system on the Machine "Once I activate this machine, you should enter one of Nunnally's dreams." She finished as Kira and Lelouch nodded their heads as they got onto one of the beds. "Preparing to activated dream helmets in 3… 2… 1…now." she yelled as she pressed the button and Kira and Lelouch closed their eyes and fell asleep, entering Nunnally's dream.
Nunnally's Dream:
Kira and Lelouch ended up in a long hallway in what looked like a nice house. Kira didn't know where she was but Lelouch did.
"The Aries Villa…" Lelouch said shocked at where they were.
Kira looked at Lelouch "You know where we are?" she asked
Lelouch nodded his head "Yeah," he said "this is where we lived use to live before our mother died…" he said as he looked at Kira "You're not pregnant any more…"
Kira looked down and saw that her stomach wasn't big anymore. "I guess sense this isn't the real world, I am not pregnant here." She said
"Mother!" a voice called out through the hallway
"Nunnally!" Lelouch yelled as he ran through the hallway towards Nunnally with Kira following him. When the two of them entered the area, they found Nunnally over the body of a dead woman who had black hair and wore a light orange dress, this woman turned out to be Marianne vi Britannia, Lelouch and Nunnally's mother.
Lelouch went towards Nunnally and hugged her "Nunnally are you ok?" he asked
Nunnally lifted her head towards Lelouch "Brother," she asked "is that you?"
Lelouch nodded his heads "Yes Nunnally," he said "it's me."
Nunnally began to cry "Brother Mother's…." She said as Lelouch hugged her even more.
"I know Nunnally," Lelouch said as he began to cry "I know…"
Kira smiled sadly at the scene before her sixth sense told her of danger "Lelouch! Nunnally! Get down!" she yelled as she ran up to the two of them and pushed the two of them back as a knife hit the spot where they were. When Kira looked at where the knife came from. The perpetrator was some type of man wearing a full black body suit and had a mask on. The mask didn't have a face on it; the only thing on the mask was the symbol for Geass on it. In the perpetrator's left hand were knifes and a sword in his right hand.
"Run!" Kira yelled as Lelouch picked up Nunnally and began to run with Kira away from the perpetrator. The perpetrator began to run after them throwing knife after knife at them.
"Is there any place that stores weapons that we could use to protect us?" Kira asked as she dodged a knife.
Lelouch thought about that answer for a few seconds before coming up with an answer "Yeah," he said "the guards out post, there should be a bunch of weapons there we could use." He finished as he barley dodged a knife.
Both of them ran for a few minutes before coming to a door. They opened the door to fine a room that had some desks and other things. Although the room had most common items such as these, there were also weapons all over the place. There were guns, swords, even explosives inside the room.
"Well," Kira said as she looked at the room "this is convenient." She finished as she began to move a desk towards the door. "Hey Lelouch, can you put Nunnally down and help me move the desk?"
Lelouch nodded his head and put Nunnally down gently as he went towards Kira and helped her push the desk up against the door. When they finished pushing the desk up against the door, the door began to be rammed from the outside.
"That's not going to hold him for long,"Kira said as Lelouch nodded his head. The two of them then proceeded to pick up any weapon they could use. Kira picked up a two pistol and a sword while Lelouch picked up a SMG and two pistols in case something happened.
Just then, the perpetrator's sword appeared through the door, the sword then went down cutting the door in half. The perpetrator then kicked the desk to the side to allow him to enter the room.
"Light him up!" Kira said as she and Lelouch began to fire at him. Unfortunately, their shots did no damage what's so ever.
"Why the hell won't he die?" Lelouch asked as he kept firing at the person.
Kira then began to remember about what May said earlier about how Nunnally would be the only one who could break the mental block "This must be the mental block," she said "the only one who could defeat it is Nunnally. Here's the plan you grab Nunnally and take her to someplace safe while I distract the big guy here."
Lelouch nodded his head and went towards Nunnally while Kira charged the mysterious person with her sword drawn. Her sword and his sword clashed with one another. Kira then noticed that the perpetrator brought out a knife so she prepared to block it. But instead of using it on her, the perpetrator threw the knife towards Lelouch.
"Lelouch watch out!" Kira yelled but it was too late. The knife reached Lelouch and pierced his left leg making him drop to the floor and skid towards Nunnally, hitting his head on the wall and knocking him out. In the process, one of Lelouch's pistols dropped and landed near Nunnally's right hand. Because Kira was distracted, the perpetrator pushed her towards the wall. Kira tried to get up from the wall, but tentacles from the shadows began to wrap around her and tie her up. Now that Kira was busy, the perpetrator began to walk towards Nunnally and Lelouch ready to finish the job.
Kira struggled as she tried to get loose "Nunnally," She cried "you need to shoot the person in front of you."
Nunnally grabbed the gun next to her hand and picked it, her hand was shaking as she tried to point it at the perpetrator "But I can't see him," she said
"You need to open your eyes Nunnally," Kira said
"But I can't…" Nunnally said
"Yes you can," Kira said "you just got to believe that you can, your brother is in danger and you are the only one who can stop him, please Nunnally believe that you can do it. I already believe that you can do it, you just need to believe in you."
Nunnally began to realize that Kira was right if she wanted to protect her brother. If Kira was willing to believe in her, why couldn't she believe in herself? With her resolve in place, Nunnally opened her eyes and aimed the gun at the perpetrator; she pressed the trigger and shot at the perpetrator in the head as the perpetrator began to disappear into smoke and disintegrate.
"Way to go Nunnally…" Kira said as the dream around them began to disappear.
Nunnally's Dream End:
Scene Break:
Back on Gaia, inside the throne room of the Emperor, Charles zi Britannia felt something that shocked him.
"What is the matter dear," a female voice said from the shadows "is something wrong?"
"Nunnally…"Charles said
"What about Nunnally," the voice from the shadow said as a girl with pink hair wearing a Knight's of Round uniform appeared. She then proceeded to go up to Charles and began to shake him uncontrollably. "What about my daughter… what has happened to her and our son!"
"My…Geass…. On her… is gone." Charles said through the process of being shaken.
The pink haired girl smiled as she let go of Charles "I knew you would do it Nunnally," she said as she looked up to the sky "I knew you would break Charles's Geass." She finished as she looked at Charles "I told you she would break it before you and your brother's plan went into action. Now you owe me dinner."
Charles shook his head a little to get rid of the bumps on his head "I guess but she and our son are more stubborn than you realize." He said
The pink haired girl looked at Charles and stick out her tongue at him "It runs in the family I guess," she said "I can't believe you sent them to Japan and then you invaded them. That was not right."
"What was I supposed to do," Charles said "let my brother get our children and kill them, plus if I didn't go with the invasion, V.V. would have."
"That's still not an excuse;" the girl said "if my mother was still around you wouldn't be here at this moment."
Charles began to shiver "Don't remind me," he said "the only thing I am afraid of is your mother… and you seriously have a mother complex."
The girl frowned at Charles "So what I love my mother and after that talk with my mother, I don't really agree with you plan anymore." she said "but I can't really interfere with you anymore, so I'll just watch and wait till Lelouch or Nunnally beat you."
"You really have confidence that our children would defeat me?" Charles asked
The girl smiled "I know they will." She said as she left Charles alone.
Scene Break:
Back on the Valhalla, Lelouch and Kira woke up from the dream world.
"Kira, Lelouch are you guys alright?" Ryu said as he, May, and Sayoko went towards them
Lelouch panted "That was some wild dream," he said as he got up from the table "but was that thing and why did it have the symbol for Geass on its face?"
Kira got up and shook her head "Who knows," she said as she stretched her body "but how's Nunnally is she alright?"
All of them heard Nunnally groan indicating that she was waking up. Everyone then went towards them to see if she was ok.
"Nunnally are you alright," Lelouch asked as he put his hand into hers.
To the shock of Lelouch, Nunnally opened her eyes seeing the world in front of her for the first time in 7 years.
"B-brother…I can see you…" Nunnally said
"Oh Nunnally…" Lelouch said as he hugged her while crying as the others smiled happily at them. Lelouch then turned his attention to Kira, Ryu, and May and bowed to them "Thank you," he said "thank you very much…"
Kira smiled as she approached the two of them "You're welcome…"She said as she looked at Nunnally "How does it feel to be able to see again Nunnally?"
Nunnally just started at Kira for a few seconds before answering "I fine Mrs. Yamato… you really do like my mother…" she said making Kira blush.
Kira smiled as she rubbed her head "She must have been a wonderful person." She said
Lelouch nodded his "Yes she was…" she said as another doctor came into May's office.
"Dr. Ryosukei," the person said "we have a situation."
"What's wrong?" May asked
"Mr. Murdoch brought in a person who snuck onboard one of the transport shuttles," the person said "she is not breathing and we are afraid she may die."
May nodded her head "Understood," she said "prepare the oxygen capsule, I'll be there soon." She finished as the man nodded his head and left the room. May then turned to the others "I'll be right back," she said "as soon as I finish this situation I'll start Nunnally's treatment for her legs." She finished as she left the room.
Ryu then turned to Lelouch "Hey Lelouch," he said "can I talk to you for a sec, in private?"
"Yeah sure," Lelouch said as he followed Ryu to a corner in the room. "So what do you want to talk about?"
Ryu looked at Lelouch in a serious look "You want to destroy Britannia correct?" he asked
Lelouch's look became dark as he nodded his head "Yes…" he said
"Why do you want to destroy them?" Ryu asked
Lelouch clenched his fist "I want destroy the Britannia that is today because of how the strong prey on the weak, because of them, I lost both my homes, the first was at the Aries Villa in Britannia, the second was the one I had here in Japan." he said "I want to destroy it and create a world in which people like my sister can live in peace without fearing of people who would oppose them."
Ryu nodded his head in understanding "I see…" he said as began to think of an idea "how would you like to join Terminal?" he asked shocking Lelouch.
"Y-you want me to join Terminal?" Lelouch asked "Why?"
"You're somewhat qualified to lead your own squadron," Ryu said "you have the command qualities for commanding people; you did lead those resistance fighters during the first part of the Shinjuku battle before we intervene. You just need some training… what do you say?"
Lelouch thought about the situation before nodding his head "Sure," he said "I'll join Terminal, but who would join my squadron?"
Ryu smiled "I already have people in mind who would be your command squad." He said "just follow me." He said as they made their way out, but not before saying good bye to Kira, Nunnally, and Sayoko.
Scene Break:
Meanwhile, May was walking towards the area in the medic building where the oxygen capsules were. When she got to the active capsule, she was surprised that the person in the capsule was C.C.
'What is she doing here?' May thought as she looked at the unconscious C.C. in the oxygen capsule 'and why is she unconscious… she's immortal…' she thought as her eyes widen 'unless…' she finished as she began to look at the data on C.C.'s body structure.
Scene Break:
"… and that's all that I know about them." Ohgi said as he finished recapping the meeting he had with some of the leaders of Terminal.
"Wow these guys had it rough," Inoue said as the other thought about the same thing "and I thought we Japanese had it rough."
Kallen nodded her head "I know what you mean," she said "I mean not only losing their country but losing one's own planet… now that's a whole lot worse than us."
Ohgi nodded his head as the door opened as Ryu and Lelouch entered the room.
"Oh Ryu, Lelouch… what's up?" Ohgi asked
"I came here to ask a question," Ryu said
"Ok," Ohgi said "what's your question?"
"How would you and your friends here like to be a part of a new squadron of Terminal I plan on creating?" Ryu asked as everyone was stun at the proposal.
"Y-you want us to be in Terminal?" Kallen asked
"Yep," Ryu said "I plan on having Lelouch here to be the leader of the new squadron."
"Now hold on," Tamaki said "he's a Britannia… why should he be the leader?"
"He was able to lead you to victory against the forces led by Clovis before Davis interfered." Ryu said
"But what about the power that he has," Tamaki said "what's stopping him from using it to manipulate us?" he asked as other resistance fighter in the room nodded their heads in agreement.
"Good point," Ryu said before looking at Lelouch "Lelouch do you mind making an oath towards us of Terminal."
"Sure," Lelouch said
"Ok Lelouch," Ryu said "on your desire to destroy the corrupt and evil Britannia that is of today and create a world in which people like Nunnally can live in peace, do you swear that you will not use Geass on any of the allies you make? And if you break this oath, you will give up your desire. Do you swear to this oath?"
"Yes," Lelouch said without hesitation which surprised the members of the Shinjuku resistance.
Ryu nodded his head as he turned his attention back towards Ohgi "There he just swore to never use his power on an ally," he said "so what do you say Ohgi, will you and your friends be willing to join Terminal?"
Ohgi thought about the situation for a few seconds before coming to a decision "Alright," he said "will join Terminal… for now…"
