An Unexpected Saviour
Chapter 3: The United Federation Of Nations Resolution Number 1
In the Ikaruga…
Lelouch smirked as he sat on a chair and studying the map of the screen.
Kitsune was in the room as well, relaxing in the sofa while fiddling with her pocket knife.
"I've done it!"Lelouch sneered. "The actions which Britannia has taken prove the emperor is absent. It seems he has truly trapped in the other round. Though I am concerned about what he said before, I am content simply knowing that Nunnally is safe."
"Don't celebrate just yet, Lelouch."Kitsune reminded as she spun her pocket knife a bit. "You still need to get Nunnally back."
"Relax Kitsune, I know."Lelouch chuckled. "With Ohgi and Villetta in separate cells, I trust you will do a better job as my deputy commander?"
"You can count me. Don't worry."Kitsune assured and thought. "And I'll make sure also not to fail with my main mission."
"Um…what should I be doing now?"C.C asked nervously.
"Let's see now."Lelouch said. "Sing me a song while hopping on one foot and wearing your clothes inside out."
"Yes."C.C responded nervously. "Right away, master."
Lelouch panicked and Kitsune blushed under her mask when C.C tried to take off her clothes off.
"What? No, wait!"Lelouch protested as he rushed forward. "I was kidding!"
"I'm sorry!"C.C panicked in fear as she dropped on her knees. "Please don't beat me hard again."
Lelouch and Kitsune looked at C.C with surprised expressions.
"Her mind is completely reverted."Lelouch said. "She's now only the slave girl before the power of Geass came."
"But the real problem is how do we get her memories back?"Kitsune sighed.
Lelouch bent down to talk to C.C.
"Don't you worry."Lelouch assured kindly. "I would never do anything that harm you at all. It's the truth. I promise you."
Before Kitsune could say anything, a contact from Jeremiah appeared on the screen.
"Master Lelouch."Jeremiah said.
"Yes, Jeremiah."Lelouch replied. "What is it?"
In a Private Room…
Cornelia was handcuffed to a chair and in a room that had no windows but only the basic essentials.
Lelouch wore his cape and held his Zero mask while Kitsune was next to him.
Kitsune bit her lip seeing the cold look on Cornelia's face as she glared at Lelouch.
"I see."Lelouch said. "You've got her out of there inside of the Sutherland's cockpit."
"Please forgive me."Jeremiah apologised while bowing down. "You ordered to me to destroy them all. But killing a member of the Britannian loyal family was just…"
"Forget it."Lelouch answered. "Or rather I should say, well done."
"Tell me, Lelouch."Cornelia responded. "What is it you're seeking with that accursed power?"
"What am I seeking?"Lelouch repeated. "I'm seeking to save a sister that I adore."
Lelouch's sentence made Cornelia more angry.
"How dare you!"Cornelia scowled in anger.
Afterwards…
Kitsune walked down to check the black knight members that were cleaning the Akatsuki knightmares after the massacre of the Geass Order.
The young girl held a tray of soft drinks to give the small group after cleaning.
"Well done. All the knightmares are all clean."Kitsune remarked in a bright tone and held out the tray. "Here. Have some drinks. They're fizzy lemon flavour."
The seven soldiers went off the knightmares and thanked Kitsune while taking their drinks.
"Thanks, Kitsune!"
"Yeah! Thanks!"
"Kitsune?"
Kitsune turned around and saw Asahina walking forward.
"Captain Asahina."Kitsune said.
"Exactly what Zero was doing while he was away?"Asahina questioned.
"Zero and the rest of us went to attack a Britannian research facility."Kitsune explained in a firm tone. "But you can relax to know that threat is no longer active."
"I see."Asahina responded. "But why Ohgi has been locked up?"
"He has been arrested for treason along with that Britannian baroness that he was working with."Kitsune declared. "It turns out he was cooperating with the enemy behind Zero and the Black Knights' back."
"He was?"Asahina said in surprise.
Kitsune nodded at Asahina.
"The guy is too indecisive."Kitsune commented. "That's why Zero made me his new Deputy Commander."
"I understand."Asahina answered.
A While Later…
Zero holds a press conference with numerous world leaders with Kaguya, Xianglin, Xingke, and Tianzi right next to him.
"And so by ratifying this charter it will get birth to an alliance that'll rival the Holy Britannian Empire."Zero declared and raised up his hands. "And its name shall be…the United Federation of Nations!"
The world leaders gasped in awe as Kaguya smiled excitedly.
"It's wonderful, Master Zero!"Kaguya remarked in joy.
"There are exiled regime throughout the Britannian colonies."Xianglin explained as she stood up from her seat. "Some have agreed to participate."
"With this move we've finally earned a just cause to launch a war of liberation."Diethard added.
"A just cause to launch a war."Tohdoh said.
"If the forthcoming operation to recapture Japan is indeed successful, then other undecided nations will join us in a chain reaction."Xingke explained.
Tianzi nodded in agreement.
"And it will succeed."Zero assured. "But we must form the U.F.N. before Britannia could act. Time decides our victory or defeat. I ask only that you cooperate on the focus of our plan. I know representatives here must discuss the needs of their individual countries. But remember, what you decide will change the course of world history!"
Zero's respond received a grand applause and cheers by the audience.
Kitsune smiled at the sight behind her mask.
"This is such an amazing event that I am taking part to see."Kitsune thought and frowned. "It is a disgrace that the Zero in my timeline was nothing but that filthy rat."
C.C grew startled a bit at the sound she heard behind the walls.
When the green haired girl leaned on the coffee table, accidentally clicked a TV remote, which turned the TV onto a segment with Milly.
"Hi, everyone!"Milly responded. "How are you?"
This caused C.C to hide from Milly behind a sofa.
"I'm so sorry!"C.C apologised in fear.
Then Zero comes in and was shown with a pizza that Sugiyama made on a silver platter for C.C.
"I brought you some food, chicken. It's only me. It's called pizza."Lelouch explained. "I think you'd be hungry by now. I really wanted you to have some so asked Sugiyama to help me out."
Zero notice C.C hiding behind the table in fear causing him to remove his mask and reveal his identity to her.
"You don't remember, do you?"Lelouch asked and placed the pizza on the table. "Go ahead. Try it. It's all right. You can eat."
"Okay."C.C responded.
Lelouch munched on his slice of pizza as C.C took a slice to eat and blushed a bit at it's yummy taste.
"It's good, isn't it?"Lelouch asked.
C.C nodded as she ate another slice of pizza.
"Oh yes, yes."C.C agreed in joy with her mouth full. "It's very really good."
"I thought so. I'm glad you like it."Lelouch responded with a smile and placed the TV off. "Prez, I'm not sure that's the way to start out a new career. I see. That's right. You don't even know what this is, do you?"
In Area 11 Government Bureau…
Kallen and Nunnally laughed lightly as they talked about their older brothers.
"So Lelouch always acted like that, huh?"Kallen asked.
"My big brother can be so stubborn at times."Nunnally explained. "But actually he's really very kind."
"My brother Naoto was like that as well."Kallen admitted.
Then Luciano Bradley, the Knight of Ten, came where Nunnally and Kallen were.
"Oh, I'd heard we captured the Black Knight ace but I didn't expect to find such a lovely young girl."Luciano sneered.
"I don't believe I gave you permission to enter this area, Sir Bradley."Nunnally reminded with a frown.
Kallen became startled a bit to realise that the orange haired guy was none other than the Vampire of Britannia.
"My apologies, Your Highness."Luciano apologised.
"Well, so you're the Vampire of Britannia."Kallen complemented with an annoyed smile.
"Yes."Luciano agreed and smirked. "It's a shame we're not on a battle field that I could savor your blood as well."
"Pity."Kallen scoffed with a small smirk. "So you're here to finish off the hostage?"
"Not so."Luciano responded. "Hostages have only one value I care for. It seems to hold dear is a life. And while alive, one can do anything he has a whim for to its body."
Then Gino showed up in the area.
"Have you no sense of pride, dear Sir Bradley?"Gino questioned as he walked forward. "Threatening an unarmed imprisoned woman."
"The naive child's still getting on by family rulers."Luciano retorted.
"Hmm, tell me."Gino chuckled. "Are you implying that it's easy to become a Knight of the Round on family recognition alone?"
Back in the Ikaruga…
Kitsune sat with Kaguya in a room where some of the Black Knight members were.
The fourteen year old girl lifted up her mask a little bit to munch on a mooncake with her mouth.
"You like mooncakes?"Kaguya asked.
"Yeah."Kitsune murmured while wiping away the crumps on her mouth with a tissue. "They're my favourite things to eat after takoyaki."
"Umm…Kitsune?"Kaguya asked. "Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."Kitsune answered.
"Do you always have to wear that fox mask on?"Kaguya giggled. "You don't have to keep hiding your face even though you are a newbie in the Black Knights."
"It's not that, Kaguya."Kitsune responded. "I wear a mask so people don't judge me when they look at my face. I spent most of my life in doors."
Kaguya's expression saddened at Kitsune's words.
"That's sad."Kaguya replied. "It seems that no one understands you."
"Trust me."Kitsune thought sourly. "You don't even know half the story."
A drunken Tamaki laughed loudly as he held a bottle of wine while sitting next to Asahina.
"Good thing we followed Zero, isn't it, buddy!"Tamaki laughed.
"It sure is."Asahina agreed with a nervous smile.
"By the way, where's C.C?"Minami asked.
"I heard that she was still feeling ill."Sugiyama stated.
"Morning sickness, huh?"Tamaki chuckled and laughed more. "Congrats to papa Zero! Bring on the good stuff!"
Sugiyama glanced at Kitsune, who spoke with Kaguya.
"So that's the new deputy commander who got Ohgi arrested?"Sugiyama asked.
"Yeah. Her name is Kitsune."Minami responded. "Though I heard it's not her real name."
"Don't you notice something odd about her?"Sugiyama asked. "It's the mask. But her hair colour. It looks exactly like Naoto and Kallen's."
Minami looked at Kitsune's hair notice the colour was the same dark red as Kallen and Naoto's.
"Hey, you're right."Minami agreed. "Do you think she's a relative of theirs?"
"Maybe."Sugiyama answered.
In the Student Council Room…
Shirley and Rivalz sat in the student council room while eating pizza and watching Milly report on TV.
"To help viewers understand this development, the ceremony of ratification of this new charter will create federation of nations that will rival our own empire."Milly reported. "As parts of the now dissipating E.U. are joining as well, it will have a great unified power. Included from the E.U. are Poland, Italy…"
"Can't reach soldiers like Suzaku."Rivalz said with a troubled look. "Why can't I contact to Rolo or Lelouch?"
Shirley felt uncomfortable at the mention of Rolo, but simply smiled at Rivalz.
"It's fine, Rivalz."Shirley assured. "I am sure Lulu is doing just fine."
"I hope so."Rivalz responded. "What could they be doing right now?"
Shirley quietly ate her slice of pizza as she thought about Kitsune.
"I hope you will help Lulu get Nunna back soon, Kitsune."Shirley thought.
In Area 11 Government Bureau…
Nunnally, Schneizel, Lohmeyer, Kanon, Suzaku, Gino, Bismarck, Anya, Lociano and all watched the broadcast in the television in front of them.
"The Black Knights have convinced all of these representative nations to participate."Milly explained. "Therefore, the leader behind this must be Zero. In short, the U.F.N. will most likely be an enemy to Britannia. Military forces are deployed in Kyushu, Chugoku and Hokuriku."
"As everyone watching this broadcast has witnessed, all 47 nations have just ratified the united states charter."the Announcer stated. "Please stay tuned."
"They're forming a union of nations, just as you said."Kanon said.
"But the military of each country will never be able to work together."Bismarck commented.
"They'll just be an unruly mob."Lohmeyer suggested.
"No."Schneizel responded. "There is an option."
"…this charter and those of international accords this article takes precedence."the Announcer reported.
"Finally, article 17 of the united states charter, all ratifying nations do now declare to abandon native military power forever."Kaguya explained.
Nunnally gasped as everyone watching except for Schneizel was shocked by this declaration.
"Abandon military power?"Suzaku said in surprise.
"Are they mad?"Lohmeyer scoffed.
In Horai Island…
Kaguya went on to explain the reason as to why this decision was ultimately made with the best interest in mind with Tianzi next to her.
"To guarantee the security of member nations have agreed to employ a fighting force not affiliated with any one country."Kaguya explained. "They have contracted it to the Black Knights."
The camera moved out to the Ikaruga that was hovering nearby and on the bridge of the flagship stood, Zero, Kitsune, Tohdoh, Diethard, Xingke, Xianglin, Hong Gu, Rakshata and a large number of ordinary members with them.
"We hereby accept."Zero declared. "Our acceptance also allows us for U.F.N. funding and personnel involvement. In return, we will become the shield to defend every member nation and its sword to oppose any external foe!"
In Area 11 Government Bureau…
Schneizel smiled and looked to Kanon.
"The option, right?"Schneizel asked.
Kanon nodded in agreement.
In Horai Island…
"Disturbances in this world are caused by military powers of disparate nations."Tianzi exclaimed. "The U.F.N. shall only use military force in accordance with a full resolution by the supreme council."
"And with that I shall put forth the first motion."Kaguya added. "Japan has been held by unjust foreign power and the U.S.J. have asked for our help to free them from this occupation. I request that the Black Knights be dispatched at once. All those in favour, please stand up."
In response to Kaguya's request, every single leader who was seated stood up.
"And so with overwhelming majorities, under U.F.N. resolution number 1, the Black Knights shall now go forth to liberate Japan."Zero declared.
"So be it!"Zero answered and raised up his hand. "Under U.F.N. resolution number 1, our first operational objective shall be Japan!"
Hearing that sentence, there was a thunderous applause and joyous cheering that rained down from all the Black Knights along with all the residents on Horai Island.
"Our Japan!"Tohdoh declared. "And now we shall take it back!"
Rakshata smiled at Kitsune.
"We might rescue Kallen also."Rakshata remarked.
"Absolutely."Kitsune agreed with a nod.
Suddenly the camera changed to that of Emperor Charles on his throne grinning at the camera which caused everyone's cheers to disappear.
"Hear me, Zero!"Charles called out.
Zero gasped under his mask as he looked at the large TV that showed his father, alive.
"What?!"Lelouch thought in shock.
In Area 11 Government Bureau…
Everyone watching was surprised but this time even Schneizel was shocked, so much so that he got up from his seat.
"The emperor?"Suzaku said in surprise.
"Well, look who's back."Luciano sneered.
"Was this fake disappearance you're doing, father?"Schneizel questioned with a frown. "A charade?"
In the Ikaruga…
The Black Knights were all shocked to see Emperor Charles on the broadcast.
"Switch to the auxiliary line!"Diethard demanded. "Cut the link! Damn it!"
"We can't."A Black Knight member answered. "They've got those as well."
"Zero, you thought this foolishness would surprise me?"Charles questioned.
"Impossible!"Zero thought in horror. "He's still alive?"
Kitsune growled in anger seeing Emperor Charles and clenched her fist causing Tohdoh to notice her reaction.
"However, it matters not. This charter you made is a child's note."Charles announced. "The E.U., once a third of the world, is now dead. You've only helped distinguish Britannia on a map from the rest of the pitiful dirt. The situation is very simple and clear for in the end whoever succeeds in this battle shall gain control of the entire world. Very well. Have at me, Zero! I'm ready! So will you win it all now, Zero, or will you lose everything! Time to learn the gambles of war. All hail Britannia!"
"All hail Britannia! All hail Britannia!"the Britannia Army chanted. "All hail Britannia! All hail Britannia!"
"Long live Japan!"Tohdoh chanted.
The Black Knights now more motivated than ever raised their fists and started their own chant.
"Long live Japan! Long live Japan! Long live Japan!"
Afterwards…
Lelouch stormed back into his room angrily and removed his mask as Kitsune followed after him.
"The emperor is still alive?"Lelouch questioned.
"Not in good timing either."Kitsune added.
"Um, excuse me."C.C greeted. "Welcome back."
"This isn't good. Not good at all. I have to rescue Nunnally at once!"Lelouch panicked. "Maybe I could use Cornelia some way. No. The hostage plea would have no effect on him. Should I reveal to the world that Zero is Lelouch? No! If the Black Knights found out their leader were an enemy prince, I'd lose that too. And rescuing Nunnally is useless if there's no country that will accept us. Damn it! What should I do?"
Suddenly Kitsune grabbed Lelouch's hands to earn his attention.
"Lelouch."Kitsune spoke up. "Before you try to think of doing the decision that will lead to absolute disaster. I think it's best to tell you who I really and why I did I come in this timeline."
"You can tell me that later."Lelouch suggested.
"No!"Kitsune snapped out and gripped his hands tightly. "I have to tell you now! Otherwise it will be too late to save you, dad!"
A surprise look grew on Lelouch's face and felt Kitsune's hands quiver as C.C watched the sight quietly.
"Why did you just call me, dad?"Lelouch asked.
"Because..."Kitsune started as she shook a bit. "Because you are. I…I am your daughter from the future."
"My daughter?"Lelouch said with a hint of shock. "How can you be-"
"Look. It sounds weird but it's true."Kitsune admitted. "Please, let us sit down so I can tell you what was to come. It won't be easy for you to hear, but you have to. Let me start about what would happen now…"
Kitsune has revealed to Lelouch that she is his future daughter, but not her real name…
Next is the Battle for Japan!
Stay tuned!
