Is President Milly all right?

I just don't understand what goes on in the Chinese Federation!

She said she's sorry, but she won't be able to buy us any souvenirs.

What's she talking about?

Thank goodness.

Maybe we should have a school wide announcement made to tell everyone.

Um...

Thank you, Lulu.

Hm? You're welcome.

Big brother, do you have a second?

Attention, all students! This is an emergency announcement!

It's been confirmed that student council president Milly in the Chinese Federation is all right!

She's apparently escaped from the scene of the coup d'état

with Knight of Seven Sir Suzaku Kururugi!

I'll repeat that!

Big brother, aren't you letting yourself get a little carried away?

Does it look that way? I'm terribly sorry.

You're acting too nice to people.

But I'm to keep his relationships harmonious.

Those were Zero's orders to me.

And of course you're to follow his orders.

But the problem is that you're exceeding your role as his stand-in.

Please, try to understand that.

I understand.

I am a woman who serves both Zero and Master Lelouch, after all.

Sayoko, Zero is in danger now.

I was told he was in a stalemate with the Chinese Federation.

Prince Schneizel is also joining the battle.

Britannia will be fighting inside of the Chinese Federation?!

Yes. The Knights of the Round have apparently been sent into battle.

What are we supposed to do now, with no reinforcements coming?!

Calm down! We still have their empress!

They can't just start shooting at us!

What the...?!

They're bombing us.

You mean...?!

Exactly. The Chinese Federation intends to flatten the Mausoleum of the 88 Emperors along with us!

In other words, they've abandoned the empress!

Morning and evening, I long for you.

hoshi ni naru yo kimi mamoru tatakai wa yukue shirazu

I'll become a star to protect you, not knowing where this fighting will take me.

ashita to kinou no kousaten de majiwaranai kimi to boku

I couldn't meet with you at the place where tomorrow crosses with yesterday.

ima iku yo boku wa nagareboshi

So I'll go now. I'm a shooting star.

sekai ga kuchihate te mo kawaru koto no nai mono ga aru

Even if the world falls apart, there are still things that won't change.

namida wo koraete demo mamoru beki mono ga bokura ni wa aru

We'll have to put up with tears because we have things we must protect.

nanmannen nanokunen mae kara no messeji ga tainai de uzukidasu

The message from ten thousand, no, a hundred million years ago makes my heart ache.

naribiku

It echoes.

shagareta koe de asu wo yobu

I call for tomorrow in a cracked voice.

kizu darake no te de kimi mamoru

I protect you with hands covered in scars.

Morning and evening, I long for you.

I'll become a star to protect you, not knowing where this fighting will take me.

I couldn't meet with you at the place where tomorrow crosses with yesterday.

sadame wo kirisaku nagareboshi

I'm the shooting star that can sever fate.

Now I'll take away your flowing tears.

Damn the High Eunuchs!

They'd go so far as to violate the Mausoleum of the 88 Emperors like this?!

All forces, cease fire! Her Majesty is there, too!

You still don't understand, do you?

Xing-ke, generation upon generation of emperors are buried there.

In short, it's a grave.

One where we will bury our current empress.

We've already arranged for a new empress.

A puppet who will be a well-balanced match for Prince Odysseus.

You dare say that about Her Majesty?!

Is that you? The guy who started the coup?

Stand aside, Britannian! This is my country's affair!

However, internationally speaking, those other guys represent your country.

Besides... I heard you captured the Guren, right?

I've got some unfinished business with that Knightmare and its pilot.

We have limited air power here!

Stand like unmatched warriors and hit them hard!

Wilco!

I'll go out in the Akatsuki, as well.

C.C.

If we start to lose, run for it.

Come up with a solution before that happens.

Second enemy bombing group, incoming!

The Ikaruga won't hold out for long against this!

Stand aside, for you face Kyoshiro Tohdoh!

What do you know?

They've got someone good aside from the Guren.

Gino! Leave him to me!

Suzaku!

We really may lose here.

It's not just the Lancelot.

They also have those next generation mass-production units...

Mordred... You've come to attack us?!

The rebel forces... will be destroyed.

Split into three groups! Surround her and fire!

Useless, those physical bullets...

If I can get inside her shields!

Oh, no! I'm the one leading this dance here!

We could collapse the mausoleum with a single shot...

from the Mordred's Stark Hadron cannon, couldn't we?

Well, yes, assuming we just wanted to destroy them.

However, the moment we did, they'd say we killed the empress.

We have to let the High Eunuchs make the final blow.

Do you care to admit to your defeat yourself?

However, it's too late.

You have no intention of calling off this attack?

If this keeps up, the empress will die as well!

The empress is merely a system.

There are plenty more to replace her.

You can't use her as a bargaining chip.

Weren't you preparing to use her as tribute to gain noble titles in Britannia?

Oh, my, you have sharp ears, don't you?

It's really a cheap price to pay for collateral.

You've already ceded your territory and signed an unequal treaty with them?!

That has nothing to do with us.

Correct. We're now Britannian noblemen, after all.

And what about the common people who are left behind?

Zero, when you walk on the street, do you watch out to not step on the ants?

You throw away the paper that clings to your rear, don't you? This is no different!

You sell out your nation, abandon your leader, betray your people!

What do you hope to gain in the end?!

I'm amazed! To think that Zero is such an idealist.

Leaders and commoners will always breed.

Like insects.

Numbers 2 and 5 radiant shield generators are offline!

That leaves the deck exposed!

Stop it!

Your Majesty!

You're rotten! What sort of noblemen are you?!

You're bureaucrats who have no idea about the obligations of nobility!

Stop it! Please, stop this fighting!

Lady Kaguya, you can't go out there!

Out of my way! The empress...! The empress is...!

Your Majesty!

What?! My wing!

That's what happens when you get distracted.

This is wrong! All of this! All of this!

Now. Shoot the empress.

Sha Wu Shu!

Hang in there, Shen Hu!

I give my life... I give my life for her!

Save yourself, Your Majesty!

What? Xing-ke?

You finally made it to the outside, but you haven't seen anything yet!

I'll defend you here!

But without you...!

Xing-ke, you and I! It has to be you and I!

Your words are wasted on me. And yet...

Continue the attack! You'll be able to flatten the Shen Hu now!

I don't believe this! How can this end like this?!

Can't I save you? Can't I protect you?

All the preparations I've made in the last six years have been for your sake!

Somebody! I don't care who! Save her!

Very well.

I shall grant your wish.

What is that Knightmare?!

It not only protected the empress, but Xing-ke as well?!

I ask this to both the Chinese Federation and the Britannians as well.

Are you still prepared to fight Zero himself?

Zero? He's come to the front line himself?

Zero?

But why?

What are you doing?! All units, fire and wipe them out!

I see! Is that your answer as the High Eunuchs?

Lloyd, that's...!

Yeah. We may have lost this one.

Are they using the Gawain's Druid System?

I can't believe it. What sort of person could?

Knightmare Frame Shinkiro.

Its Absolute Defense Field is the strongest defense system in the world.

This could present a slight problem.

What should we do, Prince Schneizel? If we fire, we'll kill the empress.

We could just wait them out.

Something's strange, don't you think?

Why do you suppose Zero chose to come out now?

How pathetic, Xing-ke.

You were betrayed by your own countrymen and couldn't even save a single girl.

But now I think you understand.

I'm the only one you have to join forces with.

Even saying that, I have no desire to be your subordinate!

Of course not. You have the potential to lead your entire nation!

They must be saved. Your empress. Yourself.

All the helpless people of the Chinese Federation!

You think that Knightmare can turn the tide of battle here?

No. The tide of a war is determined by strategy, not tactics.

Emergency dispatch! Insurrection has broken out within Shanghai!

Insurrection?!

Drag out the prefectural governor!

Come out!

Damn you!

You'll pay for that!

But why are they in Shanghai?

It's not just Shanghai.

Shou Xian, Peking, Burma, Jakarta, Islamabad...

We're still confirming, but the commoners started rebelling in 14 other areas at the same time!

Rebellions breaking out with this sort of timing means...!

It looks like a recording of Zero's communication with the High Eunuchs was released.

The communication?

So, they were making plans behind our backs!

Can you put it on-screen?

Yes, my lord.

The empress is merely a system.

There are plenty more to replace her.

And what about the common people who are left behind?

Zero, when you walk on the street, do you watch out to not step on the ants?

Leaders and commoners will always breed.

Like insects.

Thanks to the empress, the High Eunuchs are now firmly cast as the villains.

You mean, not only did you predict their betrayal, but also...

Even so, this is happening too fast to be his doing.

But what if he used a plan which already existed?

Correct! I guessed your strategy as well!

A popular uprising timed to occur with the coup d'état!

In other words...

We aren't besieged with no reinforcements!

Reinforcements exist!

The starving masses of this land are all our reinforcements!

Which means the way ahead...

...is ours!

The Black Knights are to be destroyed.

Just as tough as I expected.

It can't be!

What is this?!

So... That's what you did!

Wh-What's...?

Now's our chance!

Anya!

This is Tristan! I'm moving to cover Mordred!

Push 'em back all at once!

How foolish! Sending their ground forces out now...

If we bomb them from the air, we'll win.

No, we're withdrawing.

A nation is not territory or a system. It's people.

Now that the High Eunuchs have lost the support of their people,

they no longer have any right to join our nation as representatives of the Chinese Federation.

Yes, Your Highness.

The Avalon and the Knights of the Round are withdrawing!

I thought you'd do this, brother. However...

What do you think the emperor would have done?

Forget it. It's nothing.

So, High Eunuchs, it seems Prince Schneizel has abandoned you as well.

Wait! We'll step down from power! So, please...!

To the very end, you think only of yourselves!

Wait!

Where is Kallen Kouzuki?!

The Guren's pilot.

Oh. Since she was a prisoner of war, we transferred her.

You what?!

The High Eunuchs gave her away. To the Knight of Seven.

To Suzaku?!

I see. You did it to take everything away from me?!

But I won't let you! I swear...

I swear, I'll get Kallen back!

Where is this place? I thought we were in the Britannian homeland.

And besides, this was by order of the emperor?

Yes. I requested it.

Because you were the ones who enhanced Lord Jeremiah here—

in your attempt to recreate C.C.'s power.

You're the only choice we have, aren't you?

For making final adjustments to me.

This is an honor for you!

Is this all right with you?

Well...

I was able to finally leave the Vermilion Forbidden City. Besides...

This doesn't mean this is the end.

It's just...

I shall protect you in the future, as well.

To the end of time.

It's so strange...

I'm so happy, and yet...!

I'm... I'm so happy, and yet...!

Zero, we need to make the world recognize that the empress's marriage has been cancelled.

That's true.

And I think the best plan to accomplish that in one blow

would be to have her marry someone Japanese.

Rather obvious, but a reasonable move.

We can have her marry Tohdoh. No, even Tamaki would do.

If it's all right with you, I could draw up a list of candidates...

But you mustn't!

Lady Kaguya, this is a question of advanced politics.

It's a simple question of love!

Don't put it in terms of politics!

Yes, she has a point.

We're at war!

You keep quiet, pal.

Pal?! I'm a staff officer here!

Zero, your decision, please!

You understand, Master Zero, don't you?!

Well...

Zero! About yesterday... Huh?

You guys still in conference?

No, forget it.

Zero! This is—

My talk with Tamaki is important, too.

I never expected C.C. to object as well.

I could easily use my Geass to make Xing-ke and the others agree to this.

So, where's the problem?

Look, I'm worried about Kallen, too.

But still, in this situation, I wanted to bring up my position here...

We're gonna be in trouble unless the Black Knights pull together, right?

As long as I stay on the same level as everyone else,

I can't get any respect from the new guys here.

Tamaki...

You understand, don't you?! Because we're best buds, right?!

Hi, Lulu. You got a minute?

What's up?

Well, it's about that event for the prez's graduation.

If we discuss it in class, the prez would hear about it from Rivalz.

Maybe it'd be better to just have her decide this herself.

I guess...

Oh, Shirley! Can I ask you something?

What? Oh, sure.

Dammit! Something comes up and suddenly I'm yesterday's news!

There's this couple I want to help split up,

but I can't persuade other people that it's right.

Does the couple want to split up?

No, politics was the main cause... Um, I mean, it's a matter of diplomacy.

Anyway, it's a problem with their families...

Don't you dare!

Why?

Love is power!

When you love someone, that has incredible power!

You think about them day after day,

It makes you write poetry, wake up early, knit mufflers for them,

and even jump into waterfalls while calling out their name! Even I...

I mean... Haven't you ever felt that way?

Like doing something out of the ordinary for someone else?

She's right. I have.

I tried to re-create the entire world for Nunnally's sake.

Passions have the power to change the world!

Isn't that right, Shirley?

Huh? Yeah...

Thanks. I'm glad I asked you.

Really? It was no trouble at...

Oh... That's one habit of his he'll never change!

Your Majesty! Your future... is yours alone to determine!

Zero...

I knew you'd understand, Master Zero!

But we need to demonstrate our power relationship to the world!

The human heart is the source of all power!

That goes for the people who rose up against the High Eunuchs!

It goes for us in the Black Knights, as well!

We fight with the power of our hearts!

Yeah. Yeah! That's right!

The power of the heart?

Zero, I think I'm starting to understand what sort of person you are.

The path ahead we must travel won't be easy.

But the future belongs to us!

Man... Lulu has really been acting strange, lately.

One minute he's his usual self, the next he's being weirdly nice.

Like there's another...

Huh? Lulu?

Hi! Can I help you?

I told you, I'm just bringing back these gardening books...

Oh! Yeah, of course.

This is not good. If she sees what's behind me,

she'll know about the underground control center!

What's up? Are you hiding something back there?

Oh, no! I can't let her see it!

Shirley!

We still have Kallen to take care of, but for now, I'll return to Area 11.

What about the Chinese Federation?

Some factions are still resisting us,

but now that the people have risen up, they'll be no match for Xing-ke and Tohdoh.

Besides, you want to see it too, don't you? The power of the human heart.

You've grown up, little boy.

Shut up, witch.

In any case, this gets us back on track towards our main goal.

The religious Order?

Right. The organization which is researching how to create Geass users.

If we can take control of the Order,

then I can exceed the emperor in terms of having the power of Geass.

However, the existence of the Order has been carefully concealed from the world of humans.

Besides that, it changes its location whenever a new leader is named.

You're sure the current location is in the Chinese Federation?

That's what V.V., the leader who replaced me, said.

But this is still a large country.

Even that guy Rolo doesn't know its location, right?

How are you going to find it?

That's why I obtained this country.

The flow of goods, power supplies, communications...

The Order must leave traces of its existence.

You intend to use the power of a nation to search for them?

Because the Chinese Federation is a large nation.

C.C., you'll remain here. Contact me if you get any information about the religious Order.

Understood.

Is this place safe?

It's owned by the O.S.I.

Meaning it may as well belong to my brother and me.

Welcome home, big brother!

Hello, Rolo. Sayoko, did anything happen while I was away?

Nothing of immediate concern.

I noted all the details in the designated file.

You'll be staying here for a while, right, big brother?

Right. I have to develop some countermeasures for the Knights of the Round, after all.

The Lancelot is trouble enough by itself.

The last thing we need is the Tristan and the Mordred getting in our way as well.

I could always fight in my Vincent.

Didn't I tell you to stop that?

Shirley, did something happen?

Look, Lulu... About yesterday...

Yesterday?

Good morning, Lelouch.

The Knight of Six!

Hey there, we've been waiting for you!

You're Vice-President Lamperouge, right? We've been awaiting the honor of...

Be more casual, will you?

Oh, right. Right.

We've enrolled in this school.

And we insist on our social status being ignored while we're in school.

They said they wanted the experience of being ordinary students.

Right now, we're teaching them how to speak.

I'm looking forward to this... old man.

R-Right...

mune no naka itsuka hirotta shiawase no kakera atsumetemiyou

I try to gather the pieces of happiness that my heart picked up that day.

The melody I had started to forget still hasn't faded from within me.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Everything I have now is thanks to all of you.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Now it's my turn to make you happy. Wow~

I won't forget anything

because I'm still the same as I was on that day.

I have to tell you that I love you more often.

On those long nights when you're about to cry,

just turn around and retrace your steps

ano hi wo wasurenai youni

to make sure you don't forget that day.

Gino Weinberg. Anya Alstreim.

What are they thinking?! What are they up to?!

The Knights of the Round have not only come to Ashford Academy,

but joined the student council as well?!

I thought only the O.S.I. And Suzaku knew I was bait for C.C.

I doubt this is part of Suzaku's strategy,

but the emperor of Britannia may have told them about me as well.

If they realize that I'm Zero, then Nunnally is in danger!

Somehow, I have to find out the real motives of these two!

LOVE ATTACK!
