Intentions

Lelouch arrived in the underground base and had Kallen with him. Kallen was in awe in what she was seeing.

"So, this is the place?" Kallen asked.

"Yes," Lelouch replied.

Kallen walked and looked around and then she noticed two knightmares that looked to be in the process of being built.

"Lelouch, these knightmares here…" Kallen said.

"Yes, they're being worked on, although we may need to do some readjusting if we hope to stand against the Lancelot," Lelouch said.

"Right…so, are these are for you and Nunnally?"

"They are…Nunnally has been a real help in this, her and Rai."

Kallen was still awestruck as she looked and saw the huge monitor in the base.

"Lelouch, you surprise me in every turn it seems," Kallen said as she continued to look around, "Naoto will definitely be surprised when he sees this."

Lelouch chuckled a bit, "Yes, I'm sure he will."

"How did you manage to set things up like this?"

"Through various means of funds, some of them are from the gambling debts that I called in from the nobles I've beaten in chess and some…money that I was able to acquire when my mother was killed."

Kallen felt a ping of sharp pain and remembered years ago when Lelouch told her and Naoto that their mother was killed and that their father had turned his back on them and sent them away in Japan.

"Oh, right," Kallen said sadly, "sorry, that must have been a terrible reminder that you lost your mother."

Lelouch shook his head, "Don't worry, it does saddens me that my mother was killed but it's also part of my motivation to defeat Britannia. My mother lives on in my heart as well as Nunnally's," Lelouch went to his black knightmare and touched it, "I will eventually find out who killed my mother. When will I be able to find out? I don't know but I will find out eventually."

"What will do when you find the culprit?"

"I'm not sure yet but I'm sure I'll know when the time comes. But first thing first, free the countries from Britannia's grip."

Kallen was just impressed and smiled

"It just shows…how dedicated and serious you are," Kallen said.

Lelouch placed his hand on Kallen's shoulders and Kallen looked at Lelouch.

"I am," Lelouch said with a smile, "I made a vow the day that Japan lost the war against Britannia and when I saw the horrific things that Britannia does that I would defeat Britannia and stop them from decaying the world any further. That is my vow."

"Your vow," Kallen had her head down, "when Naoto I met you and Nunnally seven years ago, I never imagine that you would be so willing to take on Britannia…I just assumed that you would have just gone with the flow."

"…Well, I can't fault you for thinking that way," Lelouch said with a smile.

"But, you know this Lelouch Lamperouge," Kallen looked at Lelouch with a determined smile, "you have my support, I want to beat Britannia badly and make them realize that they are not as superior as they believe that they are."

"That is the intent," Lelouch replied with a smile, "let's do it Kallen, together."

"Yes," Kallen said with joy.

Near the entrance, CC was just standing there and watching them and then decided to leave.

Shinjuku Ghetto

Gene couldn't believe that his camera got destroyed by Rai and Martin just stood in shock. Euphie and Suzaku were surprised that another student showed up and did what he did and Rai just stood there still holding the lead pipe he used to smash the camera.

"What the hell Winston?!" Gene said angrily as he picked up his destroyed camera.

"What's your problem Rai?" Martin added, "You can't just go around smashing other people's things."

"Hmph, well I couldn't help myself," Rai said with a shrug and he dropped the lead pipe, "I just couldn't stand seeing how idiotic and disrespectful that you two were acting."

"What was that?" Martin replied angrily, "What are you, an Eleven sympathizer?"

Rai shrugged again, "Who knows…"

"I got this camera as a gift from my father!" Gene said angrily, "My father! Do you know who my father is?"

"No, I don't know who your father is and I don't care who your father is," Rai said not bothered or worried in what Gene was implying.

"All my shots are destroyed," Gene said sadly looking at his destroyed camera and then he turned to Suzaku, "Hey, aren't going to do anything?"

Suzaku was taken back and then was about to speak but Euphie got in front of him.

"You insulted this man terribly and you have the nerve to look at him to do something when you were disrespectful?" Euphie commented, "He already did something for you by making sure you weren't harm by those men earlier."

"Euphie…" Suzaku said.

"You…" Gene spoke shaking with anger.

Gene and Martin looked and they saw that Euphie was standing her ground and Rai stood next to Euphie and glaring at them and they both felt a chill with Rai's glare.

"Let's get out of here," Martin suggested.

"Yeah," Gene agreed and then pointed at Rai, "you're going to pay for what you did to my camera Winston, remember that."

Gene and Martin left and Rai sighed of relief and looked over to Euphie and Suzaku.

"Thank you for what you did," Euphie said, "those two were just awful."

"Think nothing of it," Rai assured, "I just couldn't stand what they were doing. It was despicable."

Euphie nodded, "Yes, I agree," Euphie looked over to Suzaku, "Suzaku…"

"Huh?" Suzaku replied.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," Suzaku said with a smile.

Euphie smiled and then looked at Rai, "I take you go to the same school as those boys judging by your uniform."

"Yes, I'm a student at Ashford Academy," Rai answered, "I'm Rai Winston."

"Ashford…." Euphie spoke thinking about that name.

Rai looked at Suzaku, "You're Suzaku Kururugi, right?"

"Y-Yes," Suzaku replied with a nod.

"Yeah, I saw you in the news last night," Rai smiled, "it's a good thing isn't it, that you were proven innocent of Clovis's death."

"Yeah…" Suzaku said with a nod.

"And you Miss?" Rai asked looking at Euphie.

Euphie smiled, "I'm Euphie, it's nice to meet you Rai."

Rai nodded and then Suzaku walked over to the statue.

"May I ask you something Rai?" Suzaku asked.

"Yes?" Rai replied.

"What brings you here in Shinjuku?"

"…I actually came to pay my respects," Rai said as he looked over to the memorial area, "to the victims that were murdered."

"So you came here for the same reason as we did," Euphie said.

"Yes…a friend of mine was here in Shinjuku when the massacre started."

Euphie and Suzaku were surprised.

"A friend of yours?" Suzaku responded.

"Yes, he's a student in Ashford Academy like me…in fact a group of soldiers were actually going to kill him."

"How horrible," Euphie said upset, "is your friend…?"

"He's fine, he was able to get out of Shinjuku alive because he had help and it wasn't Britannia soldiers that helped him…no, it was actually the resistance faction that aided his survival. He was actually very grateful that they helped him."

"I see…"

"The only one that I could think he must be referring to is Lelouch," Suzaku said in his head, "is it Lelouch he's referring to?"

"Can I ask you something Suzaku?" Rai asked.

"Sure, what is it?" Suzaku asked.

"…Do you still plan to continue to serve in the military?"

Suzaku nodded, "Yes, I do."

"Even though you were being accused for something they knew you didn't commit," Rai looked at Suzaku, "from what was said last night by Zero, they knew you were innocent but were going to use you as a scapegoat for their own personal agenda and they didn't bother to do a real investigation."

"It is true…but I believe that it can change, that if someone really works hard within the system, then it can be better so that something like what happened to me doesn't occur again."

"Suzaku, do you really believe that?" Euphie asked.

Suzaku nodded, "Yes, I do."

"I don't know, it's just…no offense Suzaku, but I can't see how that will work with the way things are right now with Britannia."

"Even with what's going with Britannia as a fact, I still have to try."

"May I ask Suzaku why you're determined to do so?" Euphie asked.

Suzaku looked at the statue, "When I was ten years old, the world seemed like a sad place for me."

"Really?" Rai asked.

"Yes…starvation, disease, corruption, war, terrorism, the unending cycle of hatred…that cycle, someone has to break it."

"Even though you point all these things out…"

"Of course, I doubt that anyone can actually make all the terrible things go away, that's just not possible…but, I don't want to lose anymore loved ones, not to lose anymore family members. To at least have a world without war."

Rai frowned, "Suzaku, that's…"

"How would you go about it to try to do that?" Euphie asked, "When you say you don't want to lose anyone else, do you mean like your father, Prime Minister Kururugi?"

"I don't know how it should be but if I stop," Suzaku said as he took out his father's pocket watch and looked at it, "my father's death will be in vain. Yes, my father died in the war seven years ago and since then—"

They suddenly heard an explosion and they looked and saw that it was coming from the old stadium. Within the old stadium, it was five Sutherlands piloted by Kewell and three other members of the Purist Factions equipped with Jousting Lances against one Sutherland piloted by Jeremiah.

"Jeremiah, you're going to pay for letting Zero get away!" Kewell declared.

"Kewell, you coward!" Jeremiah responded angrily, "The sighting of Zero was all a lie, wasn't it?!"

"Of course it was but are you really one to be upset with us when considering that you're still lying to us saying that you nothing about Orange and having no memory of what you did."

"Those are not lies! I'm telling you the truth!"

"So you still insist on your lies? Fine, have it your way Jeremiah and we will wipe our disgrace before Princess Cornelia takes up her new post here! This is how we deal with traitors within our ranks!"

Back with Euphie, Suzaku, and Rai, the trio looked as they saw a trailer pulling up and it stopped. The door opened revealing Lloyd and Cecile.

"Suzaku!" Cecile called out.

"Miss Cecile!" Suzaku responded as he approached them with Euphie and Rai following him.

"It's dangerous here, get in!"

"It seems that the Purist Faction members are fighting among themselves," Lloyd said, "We should get out of here.," Lloyd then smirked, "it's shame that you were acquitted, now you have to work for me again."

"Wait, please!" Suzaku said, "Isn't this a good opportunity to get battle data for the Lancelot?"

Cecile was surprised and Lloyd grinned happy to hear what Suzaku had just said.

"Suzaku, are you…?" Euphie asked.

Suzaku nodded and faced both Euphie and Rai, "Euphie, Rai, I'm sorry but we have to say goodbye here."

"You really are going to stop the fighting with the Purist Faction," Rai said.

"Yes, I have to do this. I'm sure I can stop them with the Lancelot," Suzaku smiled and nodded, "it was a pleasure meeting both of you."

Euphie closed her eyes and then opened them and nodded, "I understand…in fact, I would like that to happen. I need to speak to a certain someone."

"Certain someone?" Suzaku asked curiosity.

"Yes," Euphie said with determination, "I want to speak with the man who led the false accusation against you…I need to speak to Jeremiah Gottwald."

Suzaku, Lloyd, and Cecile were surprised and Rai raised his eyebrow and wondered how Lelouch and Nunnally were going to react when he would tell them.

Back in the old stadium, Jeremiah dropped his knightmare's machine gun and he was not able to retrieve it.

"Dammit, four against one!" Jeremiah cursed, "Cowards!"

Jeremiah tried to use one of his Stun Tonfas but Kewell stopped it with his Jousting Lance.

"Don't worry Jeremiah," Kewell said, "we'll say that you died in battle. That way your family's name won't be disgraced. It's the least we can do for you."

Jeremiah's knightmare was struck from behind.

"Dammit, you're serious!" Jeremiah said angrily, "You really intend to kill me!"

Jeremiah countered using one of his other Stun Tonfas.

"KEWELL!" Jeremiah roared loudly.

"Be silent Orange!" Kewell responded, "It's your own damn fault and besides, why do you think we're here? It is to serve the imperial family!"

The four Sutherlands charged towards the lone Sutherland with their Jousting Lances.

"All Hail Britannia!" Kewell and his cohorts said loudly.

A Slash Harken suddenly appeared stopping the four Sutherlands attack. They were all surprised and they looked as the Slash Harken retracted and it retracted to the Lancelot.

"Stop this!" Suzaku spoke loudly, "You're all Britannian soldiers! There's no reason for you to be fighting among each other!"

Jeremiah was surprised to see who it was that just saved him.

"I…don't believe this," Jeremiah said, "the Honorary Britannian in the advance unit, the Lancelot."

Kewell was not pleased with the interference and clenched his teeth.

"What the hell is this?" Kewell said upset, "Why is the Engineering Corps sticking their nose into our business? Anyone who interferes dies!"

"No, that's wrong!" Suzaku said as he had the Lancelot unsheathe its two Maser Vibration Swords, "I can't ignore this meaningless battle!"

Kewell was surprised again, "MVSs? They perfected them?" Kewell kept his resolve, "However, I won't retreat, especially from an Honorary Britannian!"

Kewell and his cohorts shot their Slash Harkens at the Lancelot and the Lancelot dodged them and was cutting the wires of the Slash Harkens.

"We're on the same side!" Suzaku said.

"Suzaku Kururugi is actually saving me?" Jeremiah said surprised, "Even after I…"

The four ambushing Sutherlands went on the attack against the Lancelot but the Lancelot was blocking, dodging, and countering their attacks.

"We can still kill Orange!" Kewell declared as he went on the attack against Jeremiah.

Kewell charged with the Jousting Lance against Jeremiah and Jeremiah was able to block it with the Stun Tonfas and then another Sutherland appeared pushing Kewell away and protecting Jeremiah.

"Lord Jeremiah!" Villetta called, "Are you all right?"

Jeremiah knew the voice, "Villetta…I'm fine, thanks for backing me up!"

Kewell was pushed back and Villetta's Sutherland and Suzaku's Lancelot stood in front of Jeremiah's Sutherland.

"Dammit Villetta!" Kewell said upset

"Do you still wish to fight?" Suzaku asked.

Rai got within the stadium and had watched what was happening.

"I'll have to inform Lelouch and Nunnally," Rai said in his head.

Rai suddenly heard someone running and he looked and was surprised to see Euphie.

"Euphie, what are you doing?" Rai asked.

Euphie and looked at Rai, "I have to stop this."

Euphie was about to keep going but Rai grabbed her arm and stopped her making Euphie looked at Rai.

"Hold on, it's too dangerous," Rai said concerned for Euphie and then letting go her arm, "you go there now, you'll be putting yourself in risk. Those Purist Faction guys only care about killing Gottwald and they don't care who gets caught up in it. They're willing to kill Suzaku and that other person just because they intervened and Suzaku has already pleaded with them to stop."

Euphie looked at Rai and smiled, "Thank you Rai for being concern for me, you're really a nice person like Suzaku," Euphie then had a serious expression, "I understand what's going on but even so, I have to stop this and that is because," Euphie paused a bit, "it's my responsibility as one born into royal family."

Rai was surprised to hear what Euphie said, "Wait, are you saying…?"

"Yes…" Euphie had a warm smile and then left to stop the fighting.

"Wait, that's even more reason to…!" Rai saw that Euphie kept going and clenched his teeth, "Dammit!"

Rai suddenly had an image seeing a woman and a little girl smiling at Rai and Rai held his head and was confused.

"Wha…what was that?" Rai asked himself, "Who were they and…why did they seem so familiar?"

Rai shook himself out of thought and then looked and ran after Euphie. Meanwhile Kewell just looked at the three knightmares.

"Everyone, fall back," Kewell ordered.

Kewell's three cohorts did just that and this surprised Jeremiah, Suzaku, and Villetta.

"Kewell, does that mean you understand?" Jeremiah asked.

"Yes, I understand…I understand that in this situation, I need to use a Chaos Mine."

"You what?" Villetta spoke as she Jeremiah, and Suzaku were surprised.

Kewell's knightmare took out the Chaos Mine.

"STOP!" Euphie screamed as she ran and got near the three knightmares.

"WAIT, STOP!" Rai screamed as he ran to get to Euphie.

Suzaku was shocked to see Euphie and Rai around and Jeremiah saw Euphie and was shocked.

"Is that…?" Jeremiah said surprised and was horrified looked at Kewell's knightmare, "Wait, stop!"

Kewell's Sutherland threw the Chaos Mine in the air and it activated in the air and a wave of deadly shrapnel sprayed over the area where the three knightmares were. This surprised Euphie and Rai and Suzaku used his quick thinking to activate the Blaze Luminous to create the shield blocking the shrapnel attack and protecting the two Sutherlands as well as Euphie and Rai. Suzaku held the controls tight as he clenched his teeth with some of the deadly shrapnel damaging the foot of the Lancelot. The shrapnel spray ended and Suzaku deactivated the Blaze Luminous. Afterwards Euphie just looked on and stepped forward.

"I can't believe that Honorary Britannian would risk his life to protect Jeremiah," Villetta said.

"Your Highness, are you all right?" Jeremiah asked out of concern.

"Wait, what?" Kewell said in shocked.

"Kewell, you fool! Do you not know who this is?" Jeremiah said angrily.

"Wait Euphie, are you…?" Suzaku asked.

"Everyone lower your weapons!" Euphie ordered as she continued to walk forward, "In my name, I command you!"

Kewell looked at Euphie and realized as he was in shocked, "It…can't be…but it's true, she really is…"

"I am Euphemia li Britannia, third princess of Britannia!" Euphie declared strongly.

"Euphie, you really are…" Suzaku said stunned.

Rai stood by and was impressed and was still shocked in what he had just heard Euphie say.

"I will be taking command here," Euphie declared, "now move back. You will stop this foolish fighting immediately!"

Lloyd and Cecile were watching with amazement.

"Lloyd, did you know who she was?" Cecile asked.

"I did," Lloyd said with a smile, "she was a student so she was never seen in public though."

Kewell and his cohorts were still in shock seeing the third Britannian princess and then they had their knightmares kneel and Villetta and Jeremiah did the same with their knightmare.

"We are truly sorry Your Highness," Kewell said, "please forgive our insolence."

Euphie narrowed her eyes Kewell and his three cohorts.

"Your Highness!" Suzaku spoke as he rushed to get to Euphie, "Please forgive me. I didn't realize who you were."

"Don't worry about it," Euphie assured as she looked at Suzaku with a smile, "I made the decision of not telling you who I really was."

"Excuse me, Princess Euphemia," Rai said as he walked and then stood next to Suzaku, "Are you hurt? I apologize if I offended you in some way."

"I'm fine Rai and you didn't offend me at all," Euphie assured looking at Rai with a smile and then had a downcast expression, "I loved my brother Clovis, he was very dear to me," Euphie continued feeling sadness, "however, what my brother was doing in regards of the human experiment and what he did here in Shinjuku is inexcusable and the fact that he had no remorse over the reasons of what he did upsets me," Euphie then looked at Suzaku with determination, "Suzaku, just as you lost your father to the war, I'm sure there people here who have lost their loved ones from the unjustified massacre here. Suzaku, based on what you said, I ask of you…will you help me?"

Suzaku was surprised, "Me?"

"Yes, you will help me so that a repeat of what my brother Clovis did never occurs, that is what I desire Suzaku."

Suzaku was amazed and kneeled before Euphie, "I am unworthy of your kind words," Suzaku lowered his head, "if it pleases you, then I will do everything in my power to assist you."

Euphie smiled, "I'm glad to hear," Euphie then turns and looks at one of the Sutherland, "Jeremiah Gottwald, I would like to speak with you!"

Jeremiah and the others in the Sutherland were surprised and Jeremiah just exited out of the cockpit of his Sutherland and rushed to get to Euphie and then he kneeled before her.

"Princess Euphemia," Jeremiah said in a respectful tone.

"It's been a long time since we last saw each other," Euphie said, "ever since two of my siblings were sent away."

"Yes…" Jeremiah said.

Jeremiah had the painful memory of when Marianne vi Britannia was killed and then fact that her two children Lelouch and Nunnally vi Britannia were sent away and then was told they had both died.

"It seems that suspicion has been going on about this Orange you're being accused of Jeremiah, something like what Clovis was doing."

"I assure you that it's all false Your Highness," Jeremiah insisted, "Zero is lying about the Orange, whatever that it is."

"Don't lie to Princess Euphemia!" Kewell interjected, "You might as well—"

"I am speaking to Jeremiah," Euphie said strongly glaring at Kewell, "do not interrupt."

Kewell was taken back and then he complied, "Yes Your Highness, forgive me."

Euphie looked back to Jeremiah, "Lord Jeremiah, there is something that I want to discuss with you."

Jeremiah looked at Euphie with curiosity, "What is it?"

Euphie looked back at Rai, "Rai?"

"Uh y-yes?" Rai responded.

"You did say that you go to Ashford Academy, correct?"

"Uh yeah," Rai raised his eyebrow, "why?"

Euphie smiled at Rai and then looked at Suzaku.

"Suzaku, you don't attend school, correct?" Euphie asked.

"Yeah, that's true," Suzaku said with a downcast expression.

"How would like to attend school?"

"Huh?" Suzaku spoke surprised.

Euphie closed her eyes and spoke in a low tone, "The Ashfords were huge supporters of Lady Marianne…taken that into consideration…"

Rai heard what Euphie was saying and felt a bit of dread and wondered how Lelouch and Nunnally were going to react when he told them.

"Oh boy," Rai said in his head, "I see what's going on here."

Suzaku looked at Euphie and Rai and was confused as was Jeremiah.

Ashford Academy

Lelouch was walking with Kallen in the hall.

"I'll head back to my home for now," Kallen said.

"Very well," Lelouch said, "I would like you, Naoto, and Ohgi to get in contact with people you know in other resistance factions and see if any of them would like to join us."

"Sure, you got it. So Lelouch, what's going o happen next?"

"We build an army," Lelouch said with determination, "an army that can take on and will defeat the forces of Britannia."

"An army?" Kallen said surprised.

"Yes."

Kallen nodded, "Okay, we'll do our part."

"As I will do mine."

Kallen and Lelouch were outside near the entrance and Kallen and Lelouch waved at each other with smiles and then Kallen left to head back to the Stadtfeld Manor. Lelouch looked at the sky and thought about when he and Nunnally met seven years ago when Nunnally and Lelouch were being harassed by some Japanese kids who hated seeing Britannian on their land and when Naoto came by and stopped the harassment. Lelouch sighed and went back. Lelouch arrived in the residence and there was CC waiting for him.

"CC," Lelouch said.

"Lelouch, is it wise?" CC asked.

"What is?"

Lelouch went to his room and sat down on his desk and turned on his laptop and CC had followed him and stood right behind him.

"Is it wise for you to reveal so much to Kallen?"

"I see no reason to hide things to her as well as Naoto and Ohgi."

"Do you really trust them that much?"

"I do, after all I'm asking them to trust me in regards in fighting Britannia so it's only natural that I would show them the same respect."

"…However, they don't know about the fact that you and Nunnally are from the Royal Family."

"Not yet, but I will tell them and the others that I have no doubt will join us and I think I have a good idea of when that will happen."

Lelouch looked at a photo that was next to his laptop and CC looked at looked at the photo as well and it was the photo taken seven years ago at the Kururugi Shrine with Lelouch and Nunnally with standing next to Suzaku and an old bald headed man holding a cane.

"Taizo Kirihara," CC said.

"Yes."

"I see…by the way, how's it going on along with your Geass?"

"Oh right about that, well I'm able to determine that I need to have direct eye contact with the subject. Transparent objects like eyeglasses present no problem and the effective range is approximately 270 meters and the subject appears to have no memory before, during, and after the power is used. I believe that it's due to damage caused by the Geass interfering with the brain of the subject. It also seems that if the signal is optical then I can reflect."

"Interesting, in the short time you had it, you've been able to learn a lot."

"Well I have to. With the power you have given me, I have to be responsible for it. Being careless with it is unacceptable."

"Lelouch, tell me, your desire to defeat Britannia. You know I'd understand if you were an Eleven, if you were Japanese, but you're a Britannian, aren't you?"

"It makes no different what my nationality is, just because I'm Britannian, just because I was born from the Royal Family, doesn't mean that I should just accept with how things are. Someone has to change it and I'm willing to do it regardless what comes to me as the end result. Is it good to be strong? Is it bad to be weak?"

"This is Britannia we're talking about, the empire that controls one third of the world. This opponent may be too large for you even with your Geass."

"That's why I'm going to raise an army and gaining allies, not only here but in other countries and…"

"And?"

"With my debut as Zero and what I have done," Lelouch looked at CC with fire in his eyes, "the flames of rebellion will burn brightly."

Meanwhile, Alice was in her dorm room and was on her cell phone.

"Yes sir," Alice said, "nothing so far with the Ashford family. I doubt they're actually involved."

The person on the other line said something and Alice sighed.

"I assure you, I looked into it," Alice said and then she was silent when the person spoke again and then Alice responded, "Understood, I'll keep monitoring the Principal and the Student Council President."

Alice hung up her phone and then she clenched her teeth in anger and then she had a sad expression as she thought about a little girl who smiled at her.

"Alexis…" Alice said sadly and then she left eye changed as she activated her Geass and then had an angry expression, "it sickens me that I have to continue serving that bastard."

Area 11's Government Bureau

There were two file lines of soldiers standing in attention. Euphie, having changed into her formal dress was walking between the two lines stopped as she met up with her older sister Cornelia with her Glaston Knights standing in attention as well.

"I've heard what you did Euphemia," Cornelia said, "You shouldn't be so reckless."

"I'm sorry Sister," Euphie responded, "but I—"

"Call me Viceroy here, Sub Viceroy Euphemia. The distinction is necessary between us in this matter."

"…Yes, I understand Viceroy."

Cornelia nodded with approval and a smile, "Excellent," Cornelia then turned her attention to the bearded staff officer of the bureau, "now then, your report?"

"Yes Your Highness," The staff officer said with respect, "we've arranged a welcome party for Your Highness and—"

The staff officer stopped himself when Cornelia suddenly pointed a gun at him and it got him scared and Euphie was surprised of her sister's action.

"Sloppy, senile, corrupt," Cornelia said, "corrupt…yes, very corrupt and this corruption is what led the shameful downfall of Clovis," Cornelia had a hateful glare, "even with the disgrace that Clovis has brought and the fact that I cannot deny the unacceptable thing that Clovis got himself involved in but even so, he was still a member of the Royal Family, he was my brother and I want the one who killed him, I want Zero captured!"

The next day in Ashford Academy

Lelouch and Kallen as well as most of the student in the class were surprised to see a new student in the class and Rai sighed figuring out that it was what Euphie had intended for as Suzaku stood in front of the class wearing an Ashford Academy uniform.

"Starting today, I'll be joining you all here in Ashford Academy," Suzaku said, "I am Suzaku Kururugi and it's a pleasure to meet you all."

Lelouch and Kallen looked at Rai and Rai simply nodded and then Lelouch looked forward and he was just amazed.

Sword of Akasha

Charles was standing and then someone was approaching and it was a member of the Geass Order who was wore a cloak and that member stopped.

"Your Majesty," The Geass Order member said, "the remains have arrived."

"I see," Charles said, "I had just finished conversing with Clovis," Charles smiled, "the project must continue without delay."

That's it for this chapter. Next chapter: Suzaku's first day in Ashford and the stray cat wanders in the campus.
