(A/N: *elated sigh* It's surprising how much drive a thorough uprising review can do for you. Let's get this going)

3rd Person pov

Shirley led "Emmina" by the hand to the sound booth. Milly and Nina were inside.

"Everyone she's here," Shirley announced leading the disguised terrorist inside the booth. "Ishida Emmina this is Milly Ashford and Nina Einstein the Student Council President and Secretariat."

"Ah she looks just like her photo," Milly smiled, "Although I didn't think she was so well endowed,"

Minene crossed her hands over her chest. "Hey don't be such a perv! Ishida-san is our guest!" Shirley chided.

"It's nice to meet you Ishida-sama," Nina bowed to her.

"Nice to meet you too," Minene said in her disguised voice and looked Milly in the eye, "Miss President, could you do me a favor?"

"What sort of favor?" Milly asked.

"Since this is an after school assembly would it be possible to connect the speakers to go throughout the whole PA system?" she asked.

"I don't see why not," Milly said.

"This is wonderful, now anyone who didn't get a ticket or an invite to the event can still hear what's going on!" Shirley cheered.

"Aren't there other members of your council though?" Minene questioned. "What about the Vice-President and the Treasurer?"

"Oh they should be arriving shortly," Milly said, "And Nina and I will have to get to our seats too once the AV club representatives gets here to take over the sound booth."

"Good," Minene nodded. I just love a captive audience

Everyone began filing in and the Student Council members, save for Shirley, who would be introducing "Emmina Ishida", took their seats in their designated area.

Rivalz sighed, "Man why'd we have to come here? I just know this is going to be so boring."

"Oh? I think getting to see a famed Britannian swimmer give her life's story is very entertaining," Lelouch answered.

"How much longer?" Nina asked anxiously to Milly.

Lelouch flipped open his phone. "We have about 20 min…utes…"

16:35 Emmina Ishida turns out to be renowned terrorist Minene Uryu and takes entire building hostage.

Lelouch gasped.

"What's wrong big brother?" Nunnally asked from the chair next to him.

"N-nothing, nothing at all," Lelouch got up and made for the door.

Yukiteru flipped open his phone, figuring Lelouch was up to something,

16:35 The 9th reveals her true identity after flinging away her disguise as Emmina Ishida

17:00 Killed by the 9th after being betrayed by fellow students
DEAD END

Yukiteru shook with fear. He also noticed Lelouch walking towards the door.

16:17 Lelouch triggers a bomb attempting to exit the building

"Lelouch!" Yukiteru ran towards Lelouch.

"Ah, Yuki!" Yuno was wondering why her crush just got up like that, but remained in her seat not wanting to cause a scene.

Yukiteru grabbed Lelouch's shoulder before his hand could reach the handle. "Lelouch wait."

"Hmm," Lelouch glanced backwards.

"Don't try to leave, you'll explode if you do," Yukiteru warned.

"Are you threatening me?" Lelouch asked.

"Not me, the 9th," Yukiteru told him.

Lelouch put his hand down, "So you found out then."

"Also the dead end flag got raise on me. What about you?" he asked the student council vice president.

Lelouch, back still to Yukiteru, checked his phone, "I'm in the clear, from the looks of it," he put it away. "Guess she's only after you then."

"Lelouch you gotta help me my dead end says I'll be killed after I'm sold out by the other students," Yukiteru told him.

"And what do you want me to do?" Lelouch asked. "I thought you didn't like me because I shot Yuno."

"I…that's…look you probably had no other choice. Yuno's…kind of a loose cannon," Yukiteru admitted.

"So you're trusting me then?" Lelouch asked.

"Is there anything you can do, you said you'd keep us alive from the early rounds," Yukiteru reminded him.

"And what do you want me to do? Overturn a checkmate?" Lelouch asked.

"Lelouch, please," Yukiteru was practically begging.

"Well alright, I'll try to do something about Minene," he said. He glanced towards his sister, if only because I don't want Nunnally caught up in this.

"Thanks Lelouch," Yukiteru sighed with relief.

Lelouch turned around and pat Yukiteru's shoulder, "Don't mention it now go and take your seat."

Lelouch walked over to the seating and grabbed Nunnally's wheelchair. Nunnally reached up and touched her brother's hand. "Big brother?"

"I'm going to move you to a location to where you can here better," Lelouch said calmly, "You don't want your eardrums damaged by sitting so close to the speakers do you?"

"But…"

"Don't worry I'll stand next to you," Lelouch said to her.

"But the presentation is two hours Rivalz said to him, "You don't have that kind of stamina."

"I'm sure they'll be an intermission," Lelouch said taking him and Nunnally elsewhere.

"What's up with Lelouch, Yuki?" Yuno whispered to him as he came back to sit down. Yukiteru showed Yuno his phone. Yuno gasped.

Yukiteru covered her mouth so that she wasn't so loud. "Lelouch said he'll do something about this. I don't want to have to trust him, but your arm is still recovering." Although it had been almost a week Yuno's arm was still healing, as noted by the band tied around where she got shot. She had been instructed not to do any strenuous activity with her arm for the next few days.

"How can Yuki trust Lelouch? Lelouch shot me?" Yuno whined.

"Shhh, keep your voice down," Yukiteru told her. "And he called a truce remember. I don't like trusting him, but I think we'll be ok. I will ensure our survival Yuno."

"Thank you Yuki," She smiled.

Meanwhile over in the corner Lelouch was texting

To Suzaku: Where u at?

From Suzaku: My room Chilling. u?

To Suzaku: the swim team guest speaker event.

From Suzaku: Oh

To Suzaku: Could u do me a favor?

From Suzaku: What?

To Suzaku: If ur window isn't already open, then open it and listen 4 a PA announcement.

From Suzaku: What 4?

To Suzaku: Somehow I get the feeling ur it coincides w/ ur mission

From Suzaku: What do u mean?

Lelouch didn't answer. No time. The show was starting. Although Suzaku was irritated that Lelouch hadn't responded to him. He trusted Lelouch's judgment and opened his window. He also opened up the speed dial to call Cornelia at a moment's notice.

"If you encounter any diary holders or anyone who might be a threat to Euphie's survival call me immediately!"

Her instructions resonated in his head at a high volume. Suzaku waited patiently for the PA. And then he heard Shirley's voice. "Hello, Ashford Academy we have a special announcement for you all. The swim team's guest speaker Emmina Ishida has opted to spread her message throughout the whole academy so those of you who were not able to attend can still hear what's going on."

Suzaku sighed and shut his phone. Lelouch you didn't have to lie to me. "Thanks for thinking of me pal." Suzaku leaned his ear out the window to listen to the PA system better.

At the pool house Minene, in her guise as Emmina Ishida walked on stage. She was wearing only her bathing suit, but seemed to be holding something in her hand and was wearing a strange belt around her waist. Shirley handed her the microphone. "Hello Ashford Academy!" she announced. "How are we all doing this afternoon?" Students cheered. Minene waited for their applause to die down. "Now then, I know you all came out here to hear my life story and to see a demonstration, but instead," Minene held in her other hand what appeared to be a switch of some sort. "How about some fireworks?" she clicked the switch and an explosion went off where Nunnally and Lelouch were. Lelouch moved Nunnally's wheelchair as quickly as he could. Both narrowly avoided getting hurt by falling debris and escaped with no more than a coating of concrete dust on their heads and shoulders, Lelouch more so than Nunnally.

"Nunally are you ok?" Lelouch asked her.

"I'm fine, Big Brother what's going on?" Nunnally asked, panicked.

"Something bad," Lelouch told her.

Shirley rose from her seat, "Ishida-san what are you doing?" she asked.

"I am not Emmina Ishida," Minene tore off her wig and let her hair drop down, "I am…Minene Uryu!"

Hearing this from his window Suzaku leapt from his dorm room out of it and ran across campus to the poolhouse and phoned for Cornelia. He heard it ring. "Come on, pick up, pick up!"

"Area 11 administrative building how may I help you?"

God dammit Cornelia you couldn't give me your cell number! "My name is Suzaku Kururugi I'm a soldier in the Britannian Army. Please connect me to the Viceroy's office! There's an emergency at Ashford Academy."

"One moment please…"

While Suzaku waited for Cornelia to answer Minene continued her reign of terror. "Everyone don't panic and stay in your seats and I promise no harm shall come to you. Don't even bother trying to leave the building I've rigged all the exit latches in the building to explosive devices that will activate the moment the latch is turned from the inside. Now then I'm here for one very specific reason. Give me student Amano Yukiteru."

There was confusion and uproar. A lot of which was coming from the Student Council seats.

"Sheesh what'd you do to piss her off?" Rivalz asked.

"I-I don't know," Yukiteru lied.

"Seriously what could she possibly want with you two you're Honorary Britannians aren't you?" Milly asked.

Nina gasped in fright. She didn't know. In reality only Lelouch and Milly knew that fact. They hid it from Nina knowing she would become frightened on the spot. Milly realized Nina probably heard her and was a little worried at what might happen. Nina pushed back in her chair and then stood up in her seat. She pointed down at Yukiteru.

"If you want Amano Yukiteru! He's right He-agh…"

Shirley and Milly screamed as blood suddenly dripped onto the ground. Nina hit the ground on her back, a gaping wound two inches into her gut was visible. Yuno stood panting holding a knife, dripping with blood, in her hand. "No one…betrays my Yuki."

"Yuno what have you done?" Shirley screamed.

"Oh my god Nina!" Milly brought out a packet of tissues from her pocket and attempted to plug up the bleeding as best she could. "Someone help me over here! We have an injured person!" Milly shouted. Yuno grabbed Yukiteru's hand in the confusion and ran for the locker room.

"Ah-ah-ah!" Minene hummed and set off an explosion sending debris tumbling down, blocking the path towards the locker room. Her initial explosion had sealed off the pathway to the boys' locker room. Now the girls' locker room was inaccessible as well. "Attention all hostages!" Minene shouted. "If you want to be set free then drag Yukiteru to the high dive. Do so and I promise I'll leave without any more bloodshed!" Minene promised.

Suzaku was still making his way to the pool house when he heard all this and was still on hold for Cornelia to pick up. Finally she did. "What is it Kururugi?" she asked him.

"It's Minene, she's taken the pool house of Ashford Academy hostage!" he told her. "I don't know how, but she pretended to be famous swimmer Emmina Ishida so she wouldn't be found out."

"Damn! What are her demands?" Cornelia asked, "The Subviceroy? Me?"

"No, a student," Suzaku said while running, "His name is Yukiteru Amano, it's a large possibility he's another diary holder. She's also rigged bombs to go off if anyone tries to exit from inside. I'm gonna try and break in through one of the windows and stop her."

"I'll send a platoon your way immediately!" Cornelia told Suzaku.

"Right thanks!" Suzaku hung up and made his way towards the pool house.

Meanwhile inside Yuno was doing her best to keep Yukiteru away from the clutching hands of the student body. She only had her single knife and own two legs to protect her and Yukiteru. They were all the way up at the top of the stands and many students were either injured with knife cuts or hardened kicks.

Milly was doing her best to keep Nina from expiring. A member of the First Aid club had thankfully come to her aid. "Nina hang on!" Milly told her. Nina gasped and gagged, eyes quivering, body in shock.

Shirley, meanwhile ran into the sound booth and grabbed the microphone from within it. spoke into the microphone in the sound booth. "Everyone please remain calm and please stop this!" she shouted. "The Britannian royal army will be here soon. Don't…"

BOOM!

The opposite side of the auditorium that everyone was grabbing at Yukiteru from exploded partially.

"Yes remain calm, but only if you want to take the risk of losing your life," Minene cackled.

"What the hell is Lelouch doing?" Yukiteru asked, hiding behind Yuno.

"Agh!" she grumbled. "He's texting at a time like this! I told you not to trust him! He doesn't care about us at all! All he cares about is his sister!" On the notion of the thought to kill Lelouch's sister something throbbed in the back of Yuno's mind and she crouched down holding her right eye. She was then thrown from the stands by students and Yukiteru was grabbed by several. Yuno did not have a painless landing, banging her already injured shoulder on the way down before hitting the ground and sliding straight into the pool.

"Ah! Yuno!" While she was still horrified that Yuno had stabbed Nina, Shirley didn't want to see another life possibly lost in all the confusion. She tore off her shirt, nylons and heels, now wearing only her bra and panties and dove straight into the pool to rescue Yuno from drowning.

Meanwhile students were dragging Yukiteru towards the high dive as he struggled to avoid being taken to the top.

At the same time, outside, Suzaku had finally managed to make it to the pool house. He climbed up the side of the building, and reached a window up near the top. He punched the glass, but it didn't shatter. He noticed the nearby weather vane and wrenched a part of it off and began bludgeoning the window with the weather vane until he broke through.

Minene saw the window shatter and set off the nearest explosion. But Suzaku had already jumped through and made his way, at lightning speed straight towards her. "You!" Minene gasped.

"So we meet again!" Suzaku stated and punched Minene right in the face sending her flying back. Lelouch who was near the direction she was flying towards grabbed the detonator out of her hand as she flew past.

"Suzaku!" he tossed it to his friend. Suzaku made to grab it but the thing landed in the water. I need to improve my throwing power. The detonator exploded underwater and Minene's control belt began to fizzle out. She tore it away from her body and threw it away and ran past Lelouch and socked him in the stomach as she approached him, sending him flying. She then made to head for the sound booth where she had left a trigger for a bomb to blow a hole in the wall so she could escape, but Suzaku got in her way. The two engaged in combat.

"Why do you have to be a terrorist?" Suzaku asked Minene as he blocked a punch. "Why not do something a little more productive with all that energy?" He made to kick, but Minene back flipped away.

"Someone like you wouldn't understand," Minene told him, "You abandoned your moral principles as a Japanese." She ran up to him and swung with a nasty left hook.

Suzaku ducked. "This has nothing to do with rebelling against Britannia." He threw a punch. She blocked. "Euphie told me all about the Survival Game."

Suzaku attempted a frontal kick, Minene dodged to the side. "Ha, so that weak pathetic girl actually got you involved.

"Euphie is not weak and pathetic!" Suzaku shouted. He drove a roundhouse kick towards Minene's neck. She barely was able to duck. She forward rolled and got behind Suzaku and ran for the sound booth, but Suzaku grabbed her from behind and looped his arms under her shoulders and interlocked his fingers together, pressing his palms on the back of Minene's head. "Stop Minene you're caught!" he told her.

"Ha!" Minene laughed, "No man will every keep me down!" She brought up her heel with all her power and drove it right in between Suzaku's legs he keeled over onto the ground clutching his groin in pain. Minene ran for the Sound booth and made to grab her escape detonator, but she couldn't find it.

"Yoohoo looking for this!" Rivalz taunted her standing outside the side of the sound booth.

"You little…give me that!" Minene ran both down the stairs of the sound booth after Rivalz who ran away from her in jest. As he ran by Kallen, the redhead stuck her leg out and tripped Minene sending her stumbling forward headfirst into the water. The terrorist climbed out, angry and soaked. She looked up at Rivalz who was in the stands, taunting her. She growled and made to get out of the water, but Nunnally, who could hear the splashing, was able to follow Minene around the perimeter of the pool to prevent her from getting out. Realizing Nunally couldn't see Minene went under the water and reappeared in a different location before climbing out. Nunally realized what had happened far too late and was too far away to make a difference. Minene leapt up the stands after Rivalz and was about to pounce when there was an explosion. The shockwave of which engulfed Minene and she was blown away, down the stands, but she acrobatically avoided injury. Outside she could see a Sutherland Mech ready for her.

"MInene Uryu!" Someone shouted from outside. "Come out with your hands up and surrender!" Britannian troops began to descend from the ceiling.

Minene checked her diary for any possible escape route. Her only option was to get that detonator from Rivalz and escape with her very life. And that was exactly what she was going to do. You bastards…don't take me likely. "I am Terrorist and Escape Artist, Minene Uryu!" Dodging bullets being fired she charged after Rivalz who had hit the ground, assuming a duck and cover position to avoid getting shot. She grabbed the spare detonator out of his hands and blew open a hole in the far wall. She ran outside and headed for the sports shed, dodging the rain of fire from the Britannian soldiers and managed to get her motorbike and escape.

Blast you Suzaku Kururugi! She cursed. Just how many more times will you get in my way? Mark my words, one of these days I will take you down!

Later…

Things had begun to settle down. The Britannian army, and its medical staff, was now on the scene. Their fast action managed to save Nina's life. Her injury wasn't too deep, and the First Aid Club member had managed to keep Nina in a state so that all it took was some heavily advanced bandaging and some disinfectant cream and Nina was stable enough to walk.

Yuno had received CPR from Shirley and was conscious with a towel wrapped around her as she was now sitting in wet clothes. Yukiteru went over to her and sat next to her. "Are you ok?" he asked her.

Yuno nodded. "I'm sorry I wasn't able to protect Yuki well enough."

Yukiteru put his arm around her, "Hey you did your best I couldn't ask for more," he said to her.

Yuno smiled, "Thanks Yuki."

"Hey are you guys ok?" Rivalz asked as he, Shirley and Kallen came over to them.

"Oh like you care," Yuno was less than pleased to see her fellow council members.

"Of course we care, we were really concerned about you two," Shirley told Yuno. "I even dived in and saved you remember."

"Yuno they helped us," Yukiteru told her.

"Yeah well I didn't see Lelouch being of much help," she turned her head.

"L-Lulu?" Shirley flushed bringing her hand to her lips.

"Hey I did what I could," Lelouch approached the group along with Milly, Nina and Nunally. Nina however hid behind Milly afraid to get too close to Yuno, who scowled at her. Lelouch gestured his thumb towards Suzaku who was speaking with the authorities. "I called him."

"Huh? You know that guy?" Rivalz asked.

"Yes, his name is Suzaku Kururugi, he and my brother are good friends," Nunally said.

"Good…friends?" Nina shivered.

Suzaku started to make his way over to the group, "Lelouch, Nunally are you guys ok?"

"Never better, good job out there by the way," Lelouch told him.

Rivalz gave Lelouch a thumb's up. "Yeah, you really stuck it to that Uryu woman. People like her give me the creeps."

"Funny, I seem to recall you thought she was appealing when she was standing on stage," Milly teased.

"Hey how was I supposed to know she was a terrorist in disguise," Rivalz shot back.

"Suzaku thank you so much," Shirley said to him, "I think Uryu would've gotten away with what she wanted from Amano if she had succeeded."

"Say Milly," Lelouch requested, "would you permit Suzaku to join the Student Council?" Everyone was shocked. Nina crouched even further behind Milly.

"Well I don't know, you did pick a real wild one last time," Milly referred to Yuno.

"Oh yeah, what's going to happen to Miss Yuno, Suzaku?" Nunnally asked him.

"I explained the situation to the authorities. They're going to let what happened to the other students besides Miss Einstein slide in justified self-defense. As for what happened before all this craziness started Yuno's going to have to spend jail time."

"But Yuno was just trying to protect me," Yukiteru outburst.

"She didn't have to go and stab Nina like that though," Milly stated.

"Exactly," Suzaku stated.

"How long is her sentencing?" Kallen asked.

"In accordance with school policy about two months, but for a price of $100,000 they're willing to let her off the hook, but since Yuno's parents are on a business trip…"

"I'll pay it," Lelouch said with a straight face.

Everyone gasped. "Lulu!" Shirley was shocked.

"Look we all got a little bit crazy," Lelouch rationalized, "Besides nothing wrong with helping out a friend now is there?"

"If that's how you feel about it, let me pitch in too," Kallen voiced.

"Lelouch…Kallen…" Yuno was thankful.

"Still, Milly you didn't answer my question can Suzaku be a member of the student council?" Lelouch asked.

"Well, sure why not?" Milly shrugged, "You are the vice-president and he did save us from that terrorist woman." Needless to say this decision just made Nina feel more and more uncomfortable.

"What's say we all go out and celebrate to our survival of a being held terrorist hostages?" Rivalz suggested.

"Sounds like a plan," Lelouch laughed.

Sunset

After partying so hard, the student council split up and went their separate ways.

"Oh Suzaku, could you take Nunnally back to my place?" Lelouch asked him and glanced over to Yukiteru and Yuno, "There's something I want to talk to them about."

"Yeah sure, no problem," Suzaku stated.

"Thanks," Lelouch walked over to the two middle schoolers. "Hey," he called out to him.

"Oh Lelouch," Yuno beamed.

"You didn't have to do that you know," Yukiteru told him.

"I told you we have a truce. Do you have any idea what would've been done to Yuno's cellphone if she had been put in jail? Knowing the army they'd ground it into a fine powder before processing her," Lelouch said.

"You're making that up," Yukiteru scowled.

"And what if I am?" Lelouch said with a sly expression.

"Yuki, I'm not mad at Lelouch anymore," Yuno said. "Thank you for keeping Yuki and I from being separated Lelouch."

"Hey I told you I called a truce," he told them.

"Still, damn that Minene," Yukiteru clenched his fist.

"Don't worry about her, she'll get what's coming to her eventually," Lelouch stated.

"So how long is this truce for?" Yuno asked. "How do we know when we can no longer trust you?"

"You won't," Lelouch said with an evil smirk. "Don't grow fond of me. We're not allies, we're neutral. I don't mind helping you out every now and then, but if you don't come after me I won't come after you, until I absolutely must." With that, the Britannian prince about face and walked away.

Yuno glared at him. "Lelouch Lamperouge, the 8th. He will certainly be a tough opponent."

To be continued…

(A/N: Minene's plans foiled by Suzaku and Lelouch shows exactly where he, Yuno and Yukiteru stand with each other. I have no sympathy for what I did to Nina. Hate me if you want…but I really don't. Is this a birth of a rivalry between Minene and Suzaku? Will the game come down to Yuno, Yukiteru and Lelouch in the end? And how will Cornelia take the news of Minene's escape? No doubt Suzaku will share some blame, but all the military training in the world can't protect from a well-placed groin attack without protective padding. So another day sets over the horizon of this fic. What will happen in the future? You'll just have to wait for the next chapter of Ultimate Paradox)
