An Unexpected Saviour

Chapter 5: Unmasked

In the Ikaruga…

A huge amount of members of the Black Knights were bustling in celebration at their victory.

They just captured the Viceroy and all the Black Knights felt like they just smacked the Emperor right in the face.

While everyone celebrated, Lelouch headed into the docking bay while wearing his Zero costume as the Vincent landed down with Viceroy Nunnally in his hands.

The Vincent gently lowered down the sleeping Viceroy and Zero picked her up in his arms.

Kitsune jumped out out of her cockpit and rushed over to Zero.

"Is she alright?"Zero asked.

"Nunnally is fine, Zero."Kitsune assured slightly. "She's just asleep."

"Thank you, Kitsune."Zero responded. "You saved my sister and many lives today."

"Aw, come on."Kitsune chuckled lightly. "What are friends for?"

Zero, Kitsune and Nunnally headed to the private room where C.C was.

After gently placing Nunnally on the sofa, Lelouch took off his Zero mask and placed it near his chess board.

Suddenly the door of the private room opened and Kallen came inside.

"Lelouch!"Kallen said in joy.

Kitsune carefully went out of the room as Kallen rushed forward to hug Lelouch tightly causing the black haired boy to hug her back.

"We did it, Kallen."Lelouch remarked. "We got Nunnally back."

"Not only that."Kallen stated with happy tears. "I came back to you."

"I missed you, Kallen."Lelouch admitted. "I missed you so much."

Kallen was surprised at Lelouch's words before looking him in the eyes.

"Lelouch, what do I mean to you?"Kallen asked.

Lelouch was silent for a moment before responding before wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Kallen, I care about you too much to let anything happened to you."Lelouch admitted. "C.C once told me that if you have someone you don't want to lose, you should keep them at a distance."

"Lelouch…"Kallen started.

Kallen wrapped her arms around Lelouch's neck.

Lelouch and Kallen looked each other quietly for a moment before closing their eyes and kissing each other passionately on the lips.

"I love you, Lelouch."Kallen declared.

Lelouch smiled. "I love you too…Q-1."

A soft groan escaped Nunnally's lips as she woke from her slumber.

"Hello?"Nunnally asked. "Where am I?"

Lelouch and Kallen broke away before the black haired boy walked over to his sister.

"Hey, Nunnally."Lelouch greeted as he bent down. "It's me."

Nunnally gasped as tears of joy escaped her face.

"Lelouch!"Nunnally remarked and hugged Lelouch. "It's you! I missed you so much!"

Lelouch hugged Nunnally tightly, not wanting to let go as Kallen watched the sight with a warm smile on her face.

"Nunnally, I missed you too."Lelouch answered.

"Lelouch, where were you?"Nunnally asked with a hint of worry. "I was told you went missing. Please tell me big brother, did something happen between you and Suzaku? Why did you ask me to pretend that we didn't know each other?"

"I'll tell you everything, Nunnally."Lelouch stated and notice Kitsune wasn't around. "Where did Kitsune go?"

"I don't know."Kallen answered. "She must've went out when I came in."

"Kallen, is that you?"Nunnally asked.

"Yes, Nunnally."Kallen answered with a smile. "It's me."

Nunnally brought her attention to Lelouch.

"Big brother, do you know where we are?"Nunnally questioned. "We are not in Japan, right?"

Lelouch let out a sigh before responding to his little sister.

"Nunnally, you see…"Lelouch started.


Kitsune slowly took a sip of her lemon soda drink as she watched the sight in front of her.

The members of the Black Knights seemed to be busy celebrating their victory.

"It won't be long until Schneizel shows up to crash the party."Kitsune thought with a hateful tone and suddenly smirked behind her mask. "But at least this time he won't be getting a checkmate. At least, I hope the event will be that..."


In the Private Room…

Lelouch finished explaining to Nunnally about everything including that he was Zero, getting Geass from C.C and all the things that has happened.

"I get it now."Nunnally responded in a quiet tone. "You were Zero the whole time…"

"Forgive me, Nunnally."Lelouch said with an apologetic look. "I only wanted to find out who killed our mother and make the world a gentler place for you to live in."

"But when did I ask for that, Lelouch?"Nunnally said as she held Lelouch's hand. "All I wanted to live with you and that all it mattered to me. But…I get it though."

"Are you sure?"Lelouch asked.

"Yes."Nunnally answered with a nod. "Everything you told me just now is the truth, Lelouch. But is sad that Clovis ordered the massacre on the people of Shinjuku just to keep a secret. And you really intended to work with Euphie in the Special Zone. If only your Geass didn't…"

Lelouch bowed his down in sadness of remembering Euphemia.

"Yes."Lelouch responded in shame. "I should've been more careful. And because of my mistake, Euphie and the Japanese people paid with their lives."

"Lelouch…"Kallen started.

"I regret everything single day for what I did to the other sister I loved after you, Nunnally."Lelouch declared and clenched his fists. "And if I could go back in time, I would've changed that and…"

Nunnally gives her brother's hand a gentle squeeze.

"I know you didn't mean to kill Euphie, big brother."Nunnally assured and frowned while looking at the ground. "But I am upset that Suzaku lied to me and had you memories altered like Milly and everyone else back in Ashford Academy. I feel more awful that Father used me as a tool and what Suzaku did like that phone call…"

Suddenly, Kitsune arrived to the private room with Jeremiah and Sayoko in tow.

"Sorry we are interrupting anything, Master Lelouch."Sayoko said. "But Kitsune has a surprise present that she would like to give to Lady Nunnally."

"A present?"Lelouch said in confusion.

"What could it be?"Nunnally asked with curiosity.

Kitsune looked at Jeremiah.

"Jeremiah."Kitsune said. "If you may?"

"Gladly, Miss Kitsune."Jeremiah responded with a smile.

Jeremiah activated his Geass Canceller and then afterwards, Nunnally moved her hands to her eyes and gently her eye lids rose, revealing deep purple eyes.

This caused Lelouch, Kallen, Sayoko and Jeremiah to become surprised and then overjoyed for the fact that Nunnally was able to see again.

Tears of pure happiness grew on Nunnally's face as she stared at her hands and then brother that she hasn't seen after eight years.

"Big brother, I can see!"Nunnally remarked happily. "This is a miracle!"

"Yes, it is."Lelouch chuckled.

The other people in the room felt a warmth in their hearts as they watched the two vi siblings hug with love.

Nunnally brought her attention to Sayoko and Kallen.

"So you are Miss Sayoko?"Nunnally guessed and looked at Kallen. "And you're Kallen?"

Sayako nodded. "Yes, Lady Nunnally."

"It is amazing you can see again."Kallen complemented.

Jeremiah walked forward and bowed at Nunnally.

"Your Highness, I am Jeremiah Gottwald."Jeremiah exclaimed. "I used to be a personal guard at the Aries Palace."

"Oh yes, I remember you."Nunnally replied kindly. "You were the guard that was very loyal to my mother, Lady Marianne."

Nunnally brought her attention to Kitsune.

"And you must be Kitsune, right?"Nunnally asked.

"Yes, Nunnally."Kitsune said with a nod. "Kitsune is not really my name, but please call me that."

Suddenly, the sound of an aircraft arriving caused everyone's mood to turn sour and they knew straight away who was coming.

It was Schneizel.


Cornelia made it out of her confined room and climbed onto the top of the Ikaruga's portside runway, where Diethard and four troops confront her.

"Cornelia?"Diethard said in surprise and then looked at the troops. "Aim for her legs! I wanna take her alive, men!"

"Yes, sir!"the troopers shouted in unison.

Before they can fire though, they hear a siren and look up to see an enemy envoy craft above them that was preparing to land on the ship.

"Attention!"A soldier in a craft called out in a loudspeaker. "We are carrying a Britannian special envoy on an urgent diplomatic mission! We have no hostile intentions!"

"Diplomatic mission?"Diethard repeated before contacted Minase. "Minase, was that craft cleared to land here through official channels?"

As the aircraft landed and opened its door, everyone was shocked to see the person exit it was Schneizel accompanied by Kanon.

"Schneizel!"Cornelia remarked in relief.

"Impossible!"Diethard said in shock. "Why would he step right into the midst of his mortal enemies?"


Inside the Ikaruga…

Kitsune rushed to meet up with Tohdoh and the others.

"The Prime Minister of Britannia is here?!"Kitsune demanded.

"Yes."Chiba replied. "I tried to call Zero, but got no answer."

"We don't have any choice then."Diethard said. "We'll have to meet Prince Schneizel without Zero."

"But Zero's our leader after all."Rakshata reminded. "Should we be making decisions without him?"

"I don't think we should be doing this."Asahina disagreed. "How about we take Prince Schneizel hostage?"

"That won't do."Diethard answered. "Because they came equipped with a massive F.L.E.I.J.A. warhead."

"F.L.E.I.J.A.?"Chiba repeated.

"Like the one that would have destroyed the Tokyo Settlement."Diethard explained. "It's a new weapon. If they unleash it, it will kill us all in a heartbeat."

"We don't know what Schneizel's objective is here."Tohdoh stated. "So, our best option is to meet with him and find out."

"I think I'll pass."Rakshata exclaimed. "I wanna system check my Guren now that it's back."

"Then the negotiators will be myself, Chiba, Asahina, Diethard-."Tohdoh started.

"And me."Kitsune finished.

"You Kitsune?"Tamaki said.

"I know what Schneizel is planning to do."Kitsune assured with a firm tone. "It's best if I come with all of you in case things go messy."


Afterwards...

Cornelia finished talking to Schneizel about the information she got when she was hunting down the Geass Order.

"That's all."Cornelia said. "Everything I saw and heard at the Order."

"Thank you, Cornelia."Schneizel thanked. "With this information I can…"

Schneizel stopped when the door opened when Kitsune, Tohdoh, Diethard, Chiba, Asahina and Tamaki.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."Diethard said.

"Yeah, sorry."Tamaki agreed happily. "We've been busy celebrating kicking your butts and capturing the sub-viceroy."

Diethard frowned at Tamaki.

"Tamaki, we discussed this already."Diethard reminded. "You can't be here for this."

"I think he can."Kitsune assured. "He is Zero's best buddy, isn't he?"

"Yeah."Tamaki agreed with a grin. "What Kitsune said."

Cornelia looked at Kitsune for a moment as Schneizel continued speaking.

"Now that I think about it, I never finish my match with Zero, did I?"Schneizel asked.

"Zero won't be attending."Diethard stated. "Not until we have the details of the proposal."

"Of course, I didn't expect him to show up."Schneizel said.

"Hmm?"Diethard said and raised his eyebrow.

"He's not the type who consults with others."Schneizel commented. "No, he keeps things to himself and keeps people at a distance."

"That's strange."Diethard responded. "You talk about him as if you know him intimately."

"More than any of you do."Schneizel commented.

Kitsune narrowed her eyes behind her mask at Schneizel.

"Zero is our younger brother. Cornelia and my own."Schneizel admitted. "And the Sub-Viceroy's older brother."

Diethard, Todoh, Chiba, Asahina and Tamaki except Kitsune gasped at the revelation.

"He is the former 11th royal prince of the Holy Britannian Empire, Lelouch vi Britannia."Schneizel declared. "The man that I both loved and feared more than any other."

"Impossible!"Tohdoh denied in shock.

"You're telling us that Zero is a Britannian prince?"Tamaki questioned.

Cornelia looked at Diethard.

"Diethard please, in all this time, you never figured it out?"Cornelia asked. "Even with all the information you were getting from Jeremiah and Villetta?"

"You're wasting your time."Diethard scoffed. "You can't cause confusion here by spreading irrelevant stories. It's not Zero's lineage that matters but rather his efforts and all the miracles he has performed for us."

"But what if those miracles he performed were actually tricks?"Schneizel asked.

"Tricks?"Diethard asked.

"Zero possesses a special power and it is known as Geass."Schneizel explained. "It's the absolute power to compel anyone to obey him. You can think of it as extreme hypnosis."

"That's a lie."Kitsune scowled, earning everyone's attention. "The Geass ability that Zero has let's plant commands within a person's mind upon direct eye contact. The ability cannot influence the same individual twice. He didn't use it to perform tricks or hypnotise anyone, you psychopath."

Kanon glared at Kitsune.

"How dare you speak that way to Prince Schneizel!"Kanon snapped.

"It's fine, Kanon."Schneizel assured and glanced at Kitsune. "And who might you be?"

"The name is Kitsune."Kitsune answered. "It's not my real name, but call me that."

"Well, Miss Kitsune."Schneizel said. "I assume you know about Geass?"

"I do more than you and Cornelia actually do."Kitsune retorted with a venomous tone. "I have a Geass too. But mine lets me travel back in time."

This caused everyone to become shocked.

"Time travel?"Tamaki asked.

"Yes."Kitsune answered with a nod. "To be clearer, I am actually 16 years from the future."

All the adults were more stunned at Kitsune's declaration.

"16 years..."Chiba started.

"From the future?!"Asahina finished.

"Yep."Kitsune answered while nodding. "So, I know everything. Including the events that were supposed to come. Such as the Black Knights betraying Zero after falling to the lies of a huge filthy snake."

"We were going to betray Zero?!"Diethard said in belief.

"I would never do that!"Tamaki argued. "Zero is my buddy!"

"It's a shock but it is true."Kitsune admitted. "Zero would've been in grief right now because he would believe the viceroy was killed when Suzaku unleashed the F.L.E.I.J.A in the Tokyo Settlement killing ten million people if I wasn't here. And Mr Psychopath and Cornelia would use this as an advantage to try and make the Black Knights betray Zero. But they weren't alone they had help from a fool that has kept hidden an enemy behind everyone's back."

"Help?"Tohdoh said in confusion.

"You mean we had a tratior among us?"Chiba asked.

Kitsune glanced at the door.

"Bring them in, gentlemen."Kitsune ordered.

The door opened before two members of the Black Knights threw Ohgi and Villetta into the room while both were tied up and had ropes around them to prevent them from escaping.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I gave you the fool and his whore also known as the idiotic man who betrayed Zero."Kitsune declared with a sarcastic tone.

"Ohgi?!"Tamaki said in shock.

"And Villetta?"Chiba added.

"Ohgi Kaname has been sheltering Villetta Nu from the Black Knights to secretly learn of Zero's real identity even though Kirihara told him to trust and follow Zero because he was a true enemy of Britannia even though he didn't show his face to his comrades."Kitsune explained. "Miss Nu was actually in charge of a group known as the O.S.I that has been monitoring Zero for a year after his memories were rewritten and also the one who shot Ohgi during the Black Rebellion. What's a bigger shame that she ended up being Ohgi's pathetic little sweetheart."

Tohdoh, Diethard, Chiba, Asahina and Tamaki looked at Ohgi and Villetta with angry looks.

"Ohgi, is that true?"Tamaki demanded.

"Yes, but I had to do it."Ohgi answered. "Chigusa knew who Zero was and what kind of man he was. A con man. Zero's been tricking us all along. Using us like pawns from the start."

Kitsune scowled at Ohgi.

"Oh, please!"Kitsune retorted in disgust. "If Zero really used his Geass on all the Black Knights to obey him, would all of you betrayed him in the first place?"

"I don't think we would have."Asahina admitted and glared at Schneizel. "If he used this Geass on us, we wouldn't believe anything you say."

"Yeah!"Tamaki agreed while slapping his hand on the table. "We would sell out our leader for nothing!"

Schneizel was unfazed by Asahina and Tamaki's responds.

"If what Miss Kitsune is saying all true, then why don't we have Zero be here?"Schneizel suggested.

"I think that is the most logical option."Tohdoh agreed.

"That won't be necessary."Kitsune stated.

Cornelia glared at Kitsune.

"Why not?"Cornelia questioned.

"His already here."Kitsune admitted smugly. "Along with everyone else."

Zero wearing his mask on came into the meeting room with Nunnally, Kallen, Sayako and Jeremiah accompanying him.

Schneizel and Cornelia were surprised to Nunnally's eyes open.

"Nunnally, when did your eyes recover?"Cornelia asked.

"I regained my eyesight thanks to Lord Jeremiah."Nunnally remarked.

Jeremiah smiled. "I live to serve my lord and lady."

Zero glanced at Kitsune.

"Is everything alright in here, Kitsune?"Zero asked.

"Yes, but I think you should loose the mask now, Zero."Kitsune admitted. "Your identity has been revealed."

"Zero..."Kallen started.

"It's fine, Kallen."Zero assured lightly and placed his hands on his mask. "No more hiding."

Lelouch removed his mask to reveal his face to his allies and enemies.

"That's how you look like."Diethard said.

"Zero, you really are-"Chiba started.

"Yes."Lelouch answered. "I am Lelouch vi Britannia and Sub-Viceroy Nunnally's older brother."

"Prince or not, I still believe in you, Zero."Tamaki responded.

"What concerns us is your Geass."Tohdoh stated. "Did you use your Geass on any of us?"

"No, I did not."Lelouch replied.

"Liar!"Ohgi accused.

Kitsune walked up to Ohgi and slapped him hard across the face, leaving her hand print in the process.

"Ohgi!"Villetta gasped.

"You have the right to remain silent, idiot traitor."Kitsune warned coldly and looked at Zero. "I told everyone you didn't, but Mr Psycopath is not convinced."

Lelouch glanced at the cyborg next to him.

"In that case, Jeremiah?"Lelouch asked.

"Yes, my lord."Jeremiah answered.

Jeremiah then stepped up to the centre of the room and faced them as his mechanical eye opened up to activate his Geass Canceller.

Once it activated, the circular field of blue energy spread out and went on everyone in the room.

After a second it vanished and everything went back to normal also the red pupils on Cornelia, Kallen and Villetta were gone.

"Do any of you feel different?"Lelouch asked.

"I remember you were questioning me on who I was."Kallen stated.

"I remember you stole my Knightmare and had me give you my code to start it up."Villetta admitted. "You took my gun as well."

"And you were asking me about the death of your mother."Cornelia replied quietly.

"I don't feel anything different."Asahina said.

"Me neither."Chiba added.

"Same with me."Tohdoh responded. "Which means-"

"Zero never used his Geass on any of us."Tamaki chuckled.

"What?"Ohgi said in surprise.

Kitsune glared at Ohgi.

"Are you that surprised, Ohgi?"Kitsune scoffed with a frown. "Is it really that hard to believe Zero never used his Geass to make any of you loyal to him?"

"My brother never intended to control his own subordinates through Geass."Nunnally exclaimed. "You all followed him with your own free will."

"That doesn't explain why he used that cursed power on Euphie!"Cornelia snapped in anger.

"That was an accident."Lelouch replied. "I lost control over my Geass when I was explaining my power to Euphemia and told her I could order her to slaughter the Japanese if I wanted her to."

Silence fell over to the room at Lelouch's declaration.

Schneizel smirked. "I never expected you quickly to admit you were responsible for that genocide, Lelouch."

Lelouch glared at Schneizel.

"You didn't hear me, Schneizel?"Lelouch questioned. "I just said that I didn't mean for it to happen or that I'm not the one to blame. I really did intended to work with Euphie in the Special Zone."

"Then Euphie-"Cornelia started.

"Indeed, sister."Lelouch agreed. "Euphemia is in no way responsible for that massacre. Though she may have died with blood staining her hands, she still died innocent. And for that, I am truly sorry."

"I still don't get something, Zero."Asahina said in concern. "What happened to you when you left us during the Black Rebellion? Kitsune said your memories were rewritten."

"Yes, they were."Lelouch answered. "An immortal boy called V.V took Nunnally to Kamine Island during the fight and I left to get my sister back but I never meant to leave you all behind. However, Suzaku caught and turned me over to the Emperor. That man used his Geass on me to make me forget my original past as well as forgetting that I was Zero. It was only thanks to C.C that I regain my memories."

"Father used it on me as well to make me blind."Nunnally added.

Everyone except Kitsune became shocked at the responds of the vi siblings.

"I see, so it wasn't through trauma that you were blind, father used his Geass to make you blind."Schneizel said.

"Why would he do that to you, Nunnally?"Cornelia asked. "You did nothing wrong."

Nunnally looked at Kitsune.

"Kitsune, do you know why my father used his Geass on me?"Nunnally asked.

"Sorry Nunnally, but I actually don't know."Kitsune answered with a shrug. "But I have a feeling that C.C would know something about that."

"C.C?"Chiba asked.

"C.C is actually an immortal witch who has the ability to bestow people with the power of Geass, which manifests differently in each person that makes a contract with her."Lelouch exclaimed. "Both me and Kitsune received our Geass from her."

"I knew there was something weird about C.C."Tamaki muttered.

Diethard glanced at Kitsune.

"Kitsune there is still something you haven't actually told us."Diethard said. "Why would someone in the future come to this timeline?"

"Excellent question, Mr Reid."Kanon agreed, glaring at Kitsune.

"To kill Schneizel el Britannia and Suzaku Kururugi in order to prevent the world from falling into complete destruction."Kitsune answered in a sour tone.

There was a dead silence at Kitsune's answer.

"And why would you plan to kill me and Mr Kururugi, Miss Kitsune?"Schneizel asked calmly. "We haven't met until today."

"It's true."Kitsune scoffed. "To be more clearly, you and that pest Kururugi ruined my life and countless others in the future because of the actions you two took. So in other words, I came for revenge to prevent your schemes from ever happening. Including Kururugi to be seen as a hero to the world."

Kitsune let out a sigh before continuing talking.

"Another reason is to save both my parents and give them a better future."Kitsune added.

"Your parents?"Tamaki said.

Kitsune nodded. "They're actually in this very room."

"They are?"Kallen said with a surprised look.

"I don't understand this."Nunnally stated with an unsure expression.

Lelouch's eyes widen a bit since he knew what was going to happen next.

"Here goes nothing."Kitsune murmured.

Kitsune backed away as she reached out her hands to remove the mask to reveal her face.

The fourteen year old girl slowly opened her eyes to reveal them to be in the purple colour like Lelouch's and her face had the fair skin colour like Kallen's.

"My name is Sabrina vi Britannia."Kitsune declared. "Lelouch and Kallen are my future parents."

Everyone became shocked while big blushes appeared on Lelouch and Kallen's faces.

"Sabrina, you're my niece?"Nunnally asked while blushing a bit.

"Yep."Sabrina agreed. "You are my aunt, Nunnally."

Kallen looked down shyly as her face reddened while Lelouch lightly cleared his throat.

"That explains your red hair."Sayako said. "It is exactly Miss Kozuki's."

"It's outstanding!"Diethard informed excitedly. "The masked comrade known as Kitsune is actually a person from the future and the daughter of Zero!"

"That also makes her the granddaughter of Lady Marianne."Jeremiah thought with a smile.

Sabrina looked at Schneizel, Kanon and Cornelia.

"Are you satisfied with my identity?"Sabrina asked.

"It is actually unexpected."Cornelia commented with a hint of shock.

"How amusing."Schneizel replied with a small smirk. "The person from the future is actually my own niece who plans to kill me."

"Do shut up, you creep."Sabrina scowled bitterly. "You're no uncle of mine, so don't call me your niece."

"You impudent brat!"Kanon snapped.

Schneizel simply brought his hand up to silence Kanon.

"Sabrina, I don't get it."Kallen said honestly. "Why would you come to the future?"

"Have you come to warn us about something?"Nunnally guessed.

"I…I don't want to really talk about it. But I'll try my best."Sabrina answered with a hint of pain. "I guess I should start at the beginning. But I have to warn you that there is no happy ending…"

Sabrina immediately started telling everyone about what happened including the events that acquired such as Shirley's death, the Black Knights' betrayal and Zero Requiem.

It took almost two hours, but the former masked girl was able to reveal everything.

"…and Suzaku became the second Zero while Lelouch became known as the tyrant that ruled Britannia and had all evil deeds blamed on him."Sabrina finished.

There were no responds from anyone in the room but had mixed emotions of what they just heard as Sabrina clenched her fist in anger.

"All these unnecessary injuries and deaths were the result of Schneizel's treachery and Ohgi's idiocy. Had Lelouch not been ousted from the Black Knights, none of this would have happened…"Sabrina scowled with a murderous look. "That's why I came to the present to prevent that corrupted world for being born and get rid of the rats responsible for it."

Jeremiah bowed down at Sabrina.

"I apologise for not preventing the ill treatment that has happened towards you, Lady Sabrina."Jeremiah apologised.

"It's alright, Jeremiah."Sabrina assured with a smile. "I still thank you, C.C and Sayako for supporting me and my mum. You've been always loyal to my dad no matter what, so I am grateful for that."

Sayako looked at Lelouch.

"Did you know about this, Master Lelouch?"Sayako asked.

Lelouch nodded at the maid.

"I was actually planning to call Suzaku to help save Nunnally, but I'm glad I didn't thanks to Sabrina and everything she revealed to me."Lelouch complemented.

"If you met up with Suzaku, Mr Psychopath would've sent soldiers to follow him and have you exposed."Sabrina admitted. "Also you use a small bit of your conversation as a record to fool the Black Knights to think they were under the influence of Geass."

"Are you kidding me?!"Tamaki retorted in disbelief. "All this thing happened because of us betraying Zero?!"

"Of course."Sabrina remarked with a fake smile. "You all sold your souls to work with Mr Psycopath after agreeing with Ohgi to have Japan freed if you all betray Zero. As if this huge snake would ever care of Japan's freedom or any other place."

Kallen, Tohdoh, Diethard, Chiba, Asahina and Tamaki all glared at Ohgi, who bowed his head in shame.

"Ohgi was only trying to get information about Zero."Villetta said defensively.

"Which was actually treason and could put the Black Knights at risk. Especially, if they learned their leader was a former Britannian prince."Kallen scowled bitterly. "I doubt you even told Ohgi that you used my friend Shirley to find information about Zero, just so you can be rewarded to become a noble. Whether she lived or died in the process."

Sabrina glared at Ohgi.

"Not to mention Uncle Naoto would be so disappointed in you if he was here right now."Sabrina added with a frown. "At least he would know not to fall with the lies of the enemy and betray a leader he follows to be with a selfish whore, who cared about nothing except her place in Britannia. It's a curse that the future of Japan is in the hands of someone as stupid as you."

Ohgi looked down and didn't say anything while Villetta simply huffed in respond with a glare on her face.

Nunnally's hands trembled, unable to hide her shock and sadness.

"I…I…I was going to betray my brother and work with Schneizel to help take the throne by sacrificing so many people?"Nunnally whimpered in heartbreak.

"That's correct, Nunnally. You blindly followed Mr Pyscopath as everyone else did and didn't realise he was planning to kill you all behind his back."Sabrina agreed with arms crossed. "In the future, I've been treated as a figure of hate because I am the daughter of the so-called Demon Emperor. That is why I plan to kill Schneizel and Suzaku for their unforgivable actions, so many lives like myself won't be a living nightmare."

"Man, what was going to happen is just wrong."Asahina commented with a hint of discomfort.

Tohdoh looked at Lelouch.

"Zero, your goal was overall to make a better world for your younger sister and find out who killed your mother?"Tohdoh suggested.

"Yes."Lelouch said with a nod and held Nunnally's hand. "Even though all she wants was to be with me."

"I still won't forgive you to what happen to Euphie."Cornelia reminded with a frown.

"I'm surprised you care a lot about Euphie even though you never listened to her, Cornelia."Sabrina scoffed.

"What?"Cornelia hissed.

"During the incident that happened in Kamine Island, Lelouch actually revealed his identity to Euphemia."Sabrina admitted with a glare. "Euphemia did wanted to tell you that he and Nunnally were alive, but you never listen and instead treated her like a little bird whose place is in her own little cage. It seems that you haven't been a good older sister to her."

"I never wanted anything bad to happen to her!"Cornelia argued. "I was just trying to protect her!"

A scowl escaped Sabrina's mouth.

"Protect her? Don't make me laugh."Sabrina retorted in sarcasm. "You were actually never there for her when she needed you the most. You never even supported her in the plan of her special zone due to your ridiculous issue with people that are not Britannains. And you wanna know a fun fact? As soon as the two of you arrived to Japan, she actually ended up meeting that rat Kururugi and confess her feelings for him soon after she made him her knight. Euphemia may have been innocent, but you knew as well she was pathetically naive. It's no wonder that rat Kururugi was able to reach her heart so easily."

Everyone in the room were silent at Sabrina's declaration until Schneizel cleared his throat.

"Well, it seems my negotiations have failed."Schneizel admitted with a disapproved tone.

Lelouch and the Black Knights glared at Schneizel.

"Your negotiations?"Lelouch repeated with a hint of anger. "The fact that you tried to turn my allies against me with your limited knowledge of Geass and have them kill me?"

"It is pointless now thanks to Sabrina."Schneizel commented.

Sabrina sticks her tongue out at Schneizel as Kallen placed her hand on her shoulder.

"The fact is you were planning to have us betray Zero after hearing your false accusation and join forces with you."Diethard stated.

"You played all us for fools!"Tamaki snapped.

"Not to mention, you're completely insane to think you can sacrifice so many people for your twisted desire."Chiba added with a glare.

Cornelia glanced at Sabrina.

"Are you pleased with this outcome?"Cornelia asked.

"I am. It's ironic that my dad has to be the only one judged for his actions and punished for sins as a scapegoat when it is actually supposed to be you and Schneizel, Cornelia."Sabrina retorted in a cruel tone. "You massacred Non-Britannian soldiers and innocent people while Mr Psycopath wanted to use a dangerous weapon to destroy and control the world through fear. What's completely disgusting that none of you have remorse for the countless amount of blood that is spilled in your hands. And you decided to help this creep with his charade in trying to turn the Black Knights against my father with your dumb information about Geass when you didn't even know anything about that power. You also didn't care if he killed all of our relatives in Pendragon with the F.L.E.I.J.A. And another thing you should know. Euphemia would've been still breathing today, if you weren't so busy slaughtering people just to keep the Emperor's ideals alive or if you didn't bring her with you at all since she was useless and wasn't good at doing anything right. But you are too proud to ever admit that. I hate you."

Cornelia became stunned at Sabrina's declaration before closing her eyes and simply walking away.

Sabrina's glare then went on Schneizel.

"You should probably leave too."Sabrina insisted coldly. "As much as I want to shoot you in the head, I won't since I don't want to risk another F.L.E.I.J.A."

"I guess that is for the best."Schneizel replied.

With that, Cornelia, Kanon and Schneizel left the room and headed out of the Ikaruga without turning back.
