Chapter 8 - Explosion of Anger

"Lelouch," Suzaku began, regaining his sternness toward him, "what do you think you're doing?"

"Suzaku," Lelouch replied, "the plan to begin Zero Requiem was a failure. Therefore, I'm foregoing this facility and rescuing you, with the help of a brave warrior who fought Frieza before."

"Why waste your time on me?" Suzaku frowned. "I killed Nunnally, just like you killed Euphy."

"No, Suzaku," Lelouch disagreed. "Nunnally is not dead. She's still alive."

"What?"

"It's true, Suzaku," Nunnally added, coming into the ship, aided by Tien Shinhan, a martial artist with a third eye. Her presence surprised Suzaku. "Brother Schneizel rescued me and Sayoko, and has revealed that you and Lelouch have kept secrets from me. But that's not important now. What is important is trying to keep Britannia and Japan safe from the likes of Frieza and his men."

Suzaku was touched when he heard Nunnally say those words.

"How touching, Princess," Frieza applauded. "But it won't save you."

"I disagree," Nunnally replied. "Your days of tyranny are over, Frieza! So go back to whatever planet you came from!"

"I've heard enough!"

With that, he gathered so much energy into his body, which began to glow. Sparks of electricity filled the ground. After about half a minute, the glowing subsided, and in place of an-armored lilac-colored reptilian with a horned skull was a pure-white-skinned reptilian with violet accents on his head, shoulders, wrist and ankle plates, and on his torso. This was Frieza's true form. Lelouch, Suzaku, Nunnally and Euphy were surprised to see it, but Goku and Tien weren't terrified at all.

"Now you see the monster in his true form," Goku said to Lelouch.

"But it's not that intimidating," Lelouch replied. "He looks so vulnerable and puny now. He doesn't even have any armor on now."

"I don't need my armor to defeat you, young man," Frieza said. "And looks can be deceiving."

With that, he hurled his finger and pointed at Nunnally, who rose from her chair and floated in thin air.

"What are you doing?" Lelouch asked.

"Showing you the potential of my hidden power," Frieza replied.

He raised his hand and, at the same time, Nunnally floated upward at a faster rate. She struggled, but try as she might, she couldn't break free.

"No,"Goku thought fearfully. "This is his deadliest move. He used that on Krillin!"

"Frieza!" Lelouch shouted. "Let go of her!"

Frieza grasped his fist.

"BIG BROTHER!" Nunnally shouted before she exploded from the inside.

Lelouch and Suzaku were shocked and saddened when they saw what happened. Frieza grinned. Euphemia shed a tear from inside her mask.

As Nunnally's remains rained down, Frieza cackled.

"Who's next?"

Lelouch clenched his fists and growled.

"Frieza," he began, "you...bastard!"

He leaped toward the white-skinned alien, about to punch him in the face, when Mao intervened, punching him.

"Oh, it's so sad to see that you've lost someone you cared so deeply about," Mao said.

"Mao," Lelouch replied, getting up. "How did you break my Geass command to never speak again? And aren't you supposed to be dead? C.C. killed you! I saw it!"

"First off, my name is Golensi," Mao corrected. "Second, Lord Frieza has revived me, and permanently dissipated your command with that scouter of his. And third, I won't be going back to the C's World without a fight."

"Bravo, Golensi," Frieza applauded. "Now finish him off so that he won't use his Geass on me."

"But you're wrong, Frieza," Lelouch grinned. "I'm not the one who's going to Geass you."

"But I am," Euphemia added, stepping in front of Suzaku. "And to any and all who are watching this broadcast, what you are about to see will shock you all, even Suzaku Kururugi." With that, she removed her mask. Suzaku was shocked.

Millions who watched the broadcast were horribly shocked to see that Kreeg was Euphemia li Britannia in disguise, including her older sister, Second Princess Cornelia li Britannia.

"Dear God," Cornelia whispered, voice shaken. "It can't be. But she's supposed to be dead. Lelouch killed her."

"Euphy..." Suzaku began, "...is Kreeg?"

"That's right, Suzaku," Euphemia replied, her eyes closed. "Frieza revived me shortly after the Black Rebellion, and your capture of Lelouch."

"You knew that Lelouch was Zero all along?"

Euphemia nodded. "Shortly after my revival, Frieza offered me to become his subordinate, Kreeg, and a member of the Ginyu Force. But now, Kreeg has fallen, and I, Third Princess Euphemia li Britannia, have been resurrected. My allegiance is with Emperor Lelouch!"

"Euphemia!" Frieza shouted. "You will pay for your betrayal!"

"I think not, Frieza!" Euphemia replied, as she was about to open her eyes.

When she did, Frieza was taken aback. "No," he said. "It can't be!"
