2. The White Knight New Awakens

It begins with Marik who is still in the warehouse where a massacre just took place. He is puzzled with his newly acquired power, which he has received from the mysterious young woman and ponders on what to do with it. "I don't understand what it is you wanted me to do. Why did you give me this bizarre power?"

"I'm not sure but I think—"

However, they are interrupted by an explosion caused by a Sutherland that makes its way inside. Villetta who is piloting the Sutherland notices the dead bodies that belonged to the Royal Guard.

"How could all these Royal Guards be dead?" She questions how they are all dead before finding Marik standing there. She questions him about why they are here in the first place. "What happened here, boys? And why are Britannian students in a place like this?! Are you deaf? Answer me or I'll—" She starts shooting her Knightmare's gun at the wall around them, but Marik not intimidated. "Answer me!" They both stayed silent looking irritated.

"How typical," thought Marik. "Your first response to everything his shooting, guess that's just how Britannian knights are."

"I order you to come out. At once!" Marik tries using his power again but this time it doesn't work.

"Who the hell do you think you are to order me?" Villeta said slightly insulted.

'I see. It only works with direct eye contact.' Marik as soon realizes that his power requires eye contact in order to work. Instead, "My name is Allen Spacer, my father's a duke." Marik gives Villetta an alias that he is of nobility. "Nobility?" Villetta said surprised.

"My ID card's in our breast pockets. After you confirm who we are, I'll request your protection." Lelouch requests her of his protection, forcing her to leave her Knightmare while pointing her gun at them as she walks towards them. "Keep your hands up in the air, I'll take out your ID's."

Marik smile as now he is then able to use his Geass. "Now, give me your Knightmare." The Geass takes control of her.

"Understood. The code number is XG21G2D4." She said as she throws her Knightmare keys at him.

"Got it," Marik said taking the keys.

Later Villeta recovers and looks around and saw that the boy and her Knightmare are gone. "What the—"

Meanwhile somewhere underground with Lelouch puzzle about the power that he just acquired.

"Who are you and why did you gave me this power." said Lelouch as look at the mysterious young man with sunglasses.

"Well I should head back." said Lelouch

As Lelouch left the man in sunglass wake and stand up

"Hmm I wonder how would you use the power I gave you the power of Geass?" said the Mysterious man

(At the SCD Engineer Division A.S.E.E.C Trailer Just Outside Of Shinjuku)

Lelouch arrived at SCD Engineer Division

Ivan, Eugene and Adrian appear

"Lelouch are you're alright I was very worried about you?" asked Ivan who was overjoy by his nephew return

"Don't worry, Uncle Ivan I'm fine I manage get out safely." said Lelouch

"Jeez, quit worried us like that." said Adrian

"Oh, it good to see that you're alright Prince Lelouch." said Theodore as he appears along with Bruno

"It's good that you're came back in one peace." said Bruno

"Ah Major Boyle and Captain Watson." said Lelouch "Could you explain the current situation?"

"We're currently dealing terrorist right now and it seem like the poison gas was released." said Theodore

"What!" said Lelouch

"We should talk inside." said Theodore

Suzaku was on a makeshift bed asleep. He was in bandages recovering from the gunshot he received, Erika, Lloyd, Cécile and Mariel are looking over him.

"Ah you're awake" said Mariel

"So, are we having a bad day?" Lloyd said waking him up. "Looks like you missed a chance to go to heaven, Private Kururugi," Lloyd said teasing him.

"I did, where?" Suzaku looks around surprised he's still alive. "Hmm? Ah, we're still in the Shinjuku Ghetto."

"I glad you're alright." said Erika "I was the one who found you it was very fortunate that you're okay."

"Ah, thank you." said Suzaku

"With Prince Clovis nearby this is probably the safest place anywhere." Erika tell him.

"This is what saved your life, Mr Suzaku," Cécile reveals to Suzaku that the pocket watch that he was carrying was what saved him from being killed as it deflected the bullet.

"You're lucky it was under your protective suit because that's what deflected the bullet." Said Lloyd.

"Is it a keepsake?" Cecile asks him and Suzaku replies "Yeah, very."

"It look like a pocket watch of some sort" said Mariel

"You Elevens believe that gods live inside of everything, even objects, don't you?" said Lloyd

"Is Mari—" Suzaku stopped himself from saying his friend's name out loud. "What's the latest on the situation?"

"It's looks like the poison gas was released." said Llyod which Suzaku gasped at that. "Massive Eleven casualties have been reported."

"They haven't caught the perpetrators yet." Cecile added.

"They haven't, huh? Not yet?" Suzaku said. But he was there. In that capsule… there was no poison gas. It was a girl. And still the captain said…

Soon Lelouch arrived

"Ah Lelouch ah I'm mean Prince Lelouch you're alright!" said Suzaku

"Ah yes I'm alright" answered Lelouch "How are you doing right now"

"Ah I'm doing fine" said Suzaku

"Huh, do you two know each other" asked Mariel

"Ah, well" said Suzaku

"We're friends right" said Lelouch

"Ah that right" said Suzaku

"B the way Private Kururugi?" Lloyd asked. "How much experience do you have in piloting a Knightmare Frame?"

That caught Suzaku off guard. Piloting a Knightmare? For him, an Eleven, even though an Honorary Britannian that was impossible. Knightmare units were off-limits to Eleven soldiers. Was this guy serious?

"Why Suzaku." asked Erika

"But… there's no way an Eleven would be made a knight."

Lloyd simply smiled as he held up a golden ignition key. "Well, supposing you could."

"Well I'm well aware that a Eleven piloting a Knightmare Frame is consider unprecedent choice." said Theodore "But I think it better to find one who may have what it takes to pilot it"

Suzaku widened his eyes. He really was serious?

"Suzaku this maybe the best opportunity to gain experience piloting a Knightmare Frame!" said Lelouch

"Lelouch?" said Suzaku "But a Eleven piloting a Knightmare Frame is"

"That doesn't matter What matter is gaining result to make change so status quo is unimportant" said Lelouch "There something I wish accomplish to make things better and I need your help to achieve it"

"Lelouch?"

"Since Lloyd, doesn't have a problem picking you as a test pilot you should accept." said Lelouch

"Well said Prince Lelouch" said Lloyd "Congratulations!" Lloyd praised. "The only Knightmare of its kind awaits you! Once you take the controls of this big beauty, everything will change: You and your world."

"Whether you want it to or not." Cecile added.

Shinjuku Ghetto

Several Japanese men ran for their lives through the ruins of a street. Unfortunately, a Britannian tank fired its machine gun on them, taking down a few of them.

"THOSE DAMN BRITANNIANS!" Kallen yelled in rage and anguish with tears spilling from her eyes as she blasted her Glasgow's slash harken to break down the tank.

Just so suddenly Britannia started to gun down every citizen they could find in Shinjuku Ghetto, whether they be man, woman, and child. The ghetto was now a full bloodbath with countless corpses of men, women, and children who were treated so mercilessly.

"Kallen! Can the Glasgow still move?!" Ohgi called on her coms.

"Don't worry, Ohgi, it's all right! I'll decoy them! Get the people out of here! The only wones that'll be captured are those of us in the resistance!"

"I know, but we're trapped! They got us completely surrounded!"

Kallen gritted her teeth at that. If this kept up, then everyone in Shinjuku, both the civilians and her friends in the resistance—were doomed.
