Ashford Academy, Academic Wing, Classroom, Tuesday, August 28th, 2017 a.t.b, 09:30 hours local time.

Shirley noticed someone at the front of the class when she came in. It was a dark-skinned girl who wore the ordinary female uniform of the high school division.

"Hello everyone, my name is Dalque. I hope that we can all get along with each other." she said before she found a seat and sat down in it.

Class was normal for the rest of the day and when it was over Shirley saw Dalque leave and decided to follow her. Dalque stopped on the roof and met with two girls who both wore the middle school division's uniform, which consisted of a pink pinafore worn over a long-sleeved white blouse, a red tie, white knee-length socks, and black shoes. One of them had pale hair while the other was a blonde.

"I have no idea why Sancia registered me as a middle school student. I am smart enough to fit in with the high school division" the blonde girl said.

"Ms. Sancia must have her reasons why, Alice Haliburton. I will admit though, my class has many other cute boys and girls." the pale-haired girl replied.

"Well, I kinda like it here since I'm with the high school division. Sancia is busy touring the place right now and as it stands now I'll likely be brought into the Student Council since I saw the Dean's grand-daughter spying on me earlier." Dalque remarked.

"Oh, you mean that blonde-haired bitch I need to keep an eye on?" Alice said before Dalque slapped her.

"Alice Haliburton, you do NOT have the right to call Milly Ashford by that hateful term!"

"Oh, you want a piece of me? You're gonna regret it, you stupid ni-" Alice started before Dalque interrupted her with a punch to the stomach.

"I'm not black so I can't use the N-word or variations of it. That being said, I'm gonna report this incident to Sancia." Dalqur said before leaping off of the roof.

"Oh, I don't think so! You get back here!" Alice said before jumping after Dalque.

The pale-haired girl saw Shirley and said, "Who are you, miss? The name's Lucretia."

"Shirley Fenette. I'm part of the Student Council and I'm also a member of the Swimming team." Shirley said replied.

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Shirley."

Meanwhile in a warehouse that was located inside the Britannian Homeland, Dorothea Ernst gutted a man with her Glasgow's combat knife and then said, "The is the Knight of Four, target has been neutralized."

"Excellent work, Knight of Four. I imagine that the Emperor is going to be pleased to hear that the last Refrain dealer here in the homeland is dead." a voice on the other end stated.

"By the way, has Cornelia said anything about Viceroy Oiaguro aside from the fact that he's dead and she replaced him as Viceroy Knight of One?"

"Nope. Also, since the final Refrain dealer in the homeland has been dealt with the Negro Protocol is no longer in effect."

"About goddamn time! The nobility have been raising a stink about it ever since it was put into effect due to it essentially placing the Homeland under martial law. I even had to arrest some homeless idiots because of the Negro Protocol. Knight of Four out." Dorothea said before cutting the transmission. After doing so she muttered to herself, "What is that nigga Emperor Charles up to?"


Inside a Love Hotel bedroom, Kabukicho, Shinjuku Ghetto, 19:00 hours local time.

Kabukicho, a red-light district located in the Shinjuku Ghetto, is one of the few places that was rebuilt after the Britannian occupation began at the end of the Second Pacific War. A seedy location known for its Love Hotels, nightclubs, high-class restaurants, and shops, Kabukicho proved to be a necessary evil for Clovis to keep intact when the Shinjuku Massacre was supposed to occur. One main reason was that it provided vital revenue for the Settlement's government. Another reason was that all Britannians were only charged half-price for any goods and services. Many of the more-racist officials in the government were displeased, but did nothing since Clovis would get pissed.

This was why Oldrin Zevon was here inside a Love Hotel along with Naoto Kozuki. He had paid for the room out of courtesy and nothing was going on so far at the moment with the Britannians. This was his second tryst with Oldrin Zevon, the first one having occurred after rescuing Suzaku from the convoy. The resistance had held a celebration that Oldrin attended while Zero/Lelouch went to where Pink Flash had taken Suzaku. After one too many drinks courtesy of Tamaki, one thing lead to another and the next thing they knew, it was one hell of a confusing morning for them. Oldrin had talked things out with Naoto and was relieved that they still had some sense to use protection that night before agreeing that they needed another tryst with each other sometime later.

As it began, Naoto removed his jacket, shoes, and sock and watched as Oldrin removed her shoes and socks as well. While Naoto's outfit was just a simple dark brown shirt worn under a brown coat and dark green pants, Oldrin had decided to wear her Ashford Academy uniform and Naoto agreed that it made her very beautiful. She removed her yellow jacket and placed it aside before beginning to unbutton her blouse.

Naoto finished unbuttoning Oldrin's blouse and placed it with her jacket before his hands held the orangette's short black skirt and with a swift downward motion Naoto pulled Oldrin's skirt down and then let it drop to her ankles. She began to blush heavily as she was now clad in only a bra and a pair of panties that were the same color as her hair. Naoto in turn let the Britannian young woman remove his shirt and pants and let her see his underwear, which consisted of a pair of boxer shorts.

"Yeah, this was a lovely tryst Naoto Kozuki. Once I turn eighteen we can get married and I can bear your children." Oldrin said as they got themselves cleaned up and dressed before leaving the Love Hotel.

Menawhile with Marianne, she kicked a man who tried to cop a feel of her ass in the balls before shootimg him in the head inside a warehouse located in Tokyo Bay. She heard noise outside the shutter and leapt to the ceiling and clung to it as several members of the Black Knights burst in and began gunning down several people. Those same people however were Refrain dealers and tried to fight back to no avail as a few Burai entered and began destroying the Refrain containers. Marianne approved and leapt to a high location in the warehouse before blocking the escape route of one last dealer before kicking him in the balls just as Zero came into view in time to see this happen.

"So the 'Phantom of the Flash' has decided to grace us with her presence tonight? I must admit, you're quite powerful and would like for you to join the Black Knights." Zero said.

"Sure, I'll tag along with you. These Refrain dealers are absolute scum, aren't they!?"

"Yes, yes they are. Anyways, it looks like our mission here is done. Friday night at 21:00 hours in the Roppongi Old City is when our next raid against the Refrain dealers is scheduled to take place."

A few minutes later, Marianne and Zero were inside the mobile home that was the Black Knights Mobile Command Base. They were both specifically inside Zero's personal quarters as Zero said that the 'Phantomof the Flash' wanted to have a word with him in private. "So, what do you want to talk with me about?" Zero asked her.

"Can you please take that mask off, Lelouch? I know that it's to protect yourself and a few other people, but we're safe right now." Marianne asked the vigilante.

Zero removed his helmet and the mask that covered his lower face to reveal Lelouch. "M- Mother!? H- How. . . How are you alive!?" the young man asked.

Marianne could tell that Lelouch was stressed and pulled him in for a hug. She noticed that he was much taller than when she last saw him seven years ago and when Marianne hugged Lelouch, he ended up having his head pulled into his mother's large breasts. Once it ended, Lelouch said to her, "This brings back memories of the Aries Villa."

"How is Nunnally?" Marianne asked.

"She was crippled, but thanks to someone by the name Rakshata Chawla Nunnally has regained the use of her legs. She's fallen in love with me as a result of that since I scheduled an appointment with Rakshata so that Nunnally could get her legs back. Anyways, how is it that you're still alive mother?"

"I sensed that someone was after my life and had a body double accompany Nunnally and yourself to the inauguration of Dorothea Ernst as the Knight of Eight while I remained home disguised as a servant. I unfortunately forgot to tell either you or Nunnally about this. It was because of my young friend Sancia that I was able to even have a body double and a disguise ready. I do apologize and hope that you can forgive me for this foolishness."

Lelouch was silent for a few moments before he hugged Marianne and said, "I. . . I forgive you, mother. However, because I didn't know that you were still alive I confronted HIM and was sent here to Japan along with Nunnally as political hostages."

"You're right, Lelouch. Charles zi Britannia is no father. However, he has an immortal brother who was jealous of me. That brother was the one who crippled Nunnally and killed my body double. I know this because I was in the shadows watching everything."

"I've begun to go down the path of war against Emperor Charles for abandoning Nunnally and myself. I hate myself for having to do so, but I killed Clovis in Shinjuku to stop the slaughter of Japanese civilians. Even now, his replacement Cornelia is busy attacking resistance factions. For now, she has yet to find the main base of the Blood of the Samurai. I only begun because I was in the wrong place at the right time."

"So what happened?"

"I was only involved because I stopped to help out some people in a truck that crashed the day that the Battle of Shinjuku occurred. I have the habit of skipping class at Ashford Academy to go chess gambling against the nobility. I didn't know that members of the Shinjuku resistance were driving the truck until later. Just so you know, I was attending Ashford Academy and I still am whenever my responsibilities as Zero allow me to.

"After the truck crashed inside a tunnel that lead to the Shinjuku Ghetto, I was confronted by members of Clovis's Royal Guard. They wanted to kill me just because I saw something that they wanted to keep secret. I was able to get away and when they tried to pursue me the tunnel collapsed and killed almost all of them. As to what I saw, it was green-haired young woman."

"Oh my, you've encountered C.C. Did she happen to give you Geass?" Marianne asked.

"C.C. did give me Geass. My power is Absolute Obedience, the ability to give commands that nobody can ignore. I only use it as a last resort and in fact I first used it to kill the Royal Guard Commander when he tried to kill me." Lelouch said before explaining to Marianne what had been going on with him and Nunnally for the past seven years.
