"War broke out between Japan and the Holy Empire of Britannia..." "Sakuradite." "stance of to-the-death resistance I took a childish... much too childish and impulsive action..." "I believed that this action would end the war." "there wouldn't be any more blood being shed needlessly." "Yet... the fighting didn't end..." "I just wanted to put a halt to the act of humans killing other humans... this is wrong!" "Geass has..." "The power of twisting people's will has... it's all the same." "I..." "I didn't know that it'd be something this horrible..." "Umm... so... so many that I Killed." "Nina." "The power of the FLEIA warhead is mighty." "it will bring victory to Britannia. the Emperor never came to the Tokyo Settlement." "his objective is something else." "it appeared that the ruins of Shikinejima..." "Kaminejima was his objective... this point would be optimal." "Ruins spread around the world will also be synchronized." "the Sword of Akasha will be operational once again." "To think I would have to use such an ancient device..." "I see." "He plans to activate it." "What is Shinkirou's present location?" "We still haven't... as well." "use all forces to destroy Shinkirou!" "Understood!" "Where's Master..." "It's been a while since we've met directly." "It's me." "Hm?" "don't tell me you" "I'm sorry!" "What are you doing?" "Sealing yourself inside this kind of place again..." "C.C.?" "C.C.!" "Who is it?" "It's me..." "See?" "You..." "Coming all the way to a place like this... Marianne?" "please." "Did you think I was that ideal of a mother?" "Then what are you doing here?" "I wanted to know if you're still on our side or not." "C.C. ..." "Why did you seal off your own Code with your own hands?" "Charles would have been able to grant your wish of wanting to die for you." "I have no clue why I did that either." "I'm a bit surprised at myself." "Then you need to confirm it with your own eyes... in the real world..." "Hmm... and so it is settled." "Only you..." "What about me?" "You're the only one that always wanted to toy around with me so much." "I am grateful to you... that is never keeping true to your side of the pact... then why don't we go together?" "wait." "I need to..." "We will leave Anya behind on this Ikaruga." "We would need someone who can take Zero into custody." "And?" "What are your plans now?" "Are you going to stay with the Black Knights?" "Neither Brother or I have plans to punish you right here. we don't have the time to punish you." "Well..." "I... but peerage isn't the only thing that matters in this world." "This leaves us no choice." "Let's announce that Zero has died in combat." "Even though we still haven't found Lelouch?" "You want to make it an accomplished fact?" "umm... too?" "and we'd just be banished." "It's unthinkable." "What if the real Zero appeared?" "How will he prove that he is the real one?" "A masked hero is nothing but a symbol." "the fact won't be established." "I see." "That's really wonderful." "I found out that everyone's safe and sound." "right. but the clubhouse is open." "I see." "The student council office is okay?" "Yeah." "how's Rolo?" "right?" "Ah... yeah..." "Rivalz." "Can you relay a message to the President?" "I don't think I'll be able to keep my promise of doing fireworks with everyone." "What is he talking about?" "forgive me." "I leave C.C. in your hands." "as well." "who is immortal and immune to Geass." "For that's the only thing left for me... synchronization preparations are complete." "begin." "Is it shaking a bit?" "Really?" "complete." "the world of gods will end." "Destruction and creation." "Ragnarok has begun." "we have an incoming line from Prince Schneizel in the Tokyo Settlement." "I said to leave all mundane issues to him." "Mundane?" "That Schneizel... eh?" "But it is much too late." "This game known as war is over." "You are watching KT Television." "we will be reporting live with emergency news from this temporary studio at Ashford Academy." "it has been officially announced Prince Schneizel has signed a ceasefire treaty with the Black Knights." "dead. he took his last breath early this morning." "Lord Zero!" "No way..." "It's a lie!" "What is going on?" "is it true that Zero has died?" "Yeah." "it's just as our official announcement put it." "at least let me see his face." "so I will have to get back to you on this." "Are you serious?" "The Black Knights don't need Zero anymore." "We were able to get to this point thanks to Zero." "This kind of throwing away after usage is..." "Zero was the one who used us." "He deceived everyone with a wretched power like Geass." "too!" "man!" "But... as well... perhaps even earlier..." "Yeah." "we're not just pawns in a game." "We're alive." "Lelouch Vi Britannia commands you all... all of you do as I order!" "You're good... what's the status of Lancelot?" "Status?" "With the core luminus in that state..." "I mean Lancelot Albion." "It's just about to roll out." "What's this Albion thingy? but I wouldn't want to hand that to you right now." "This is an order." "An order from the Knight of Seven." "And now I don't want to hand it to you even more." "right?" "what is a weapon to begin with?" "do you plan on starting a childish debate?" "I..." "Suzaku." "That's not like you." "Your- at ease." "Princess Cornelia!" "Ahh..." "Where's Guilford?" "He..." "Lord Guilford..." "He has gone missing even before he deployed the FLEIA warhead in this battle." "Guilford's... his contributions were enormous." "You can be proud of him." "To be expected of Cornelia's knight." "Wait." "I was the one who deployed the FLEIA warhead." "That was my contribution to this war..." "Contribution that's necessary for me to become the Knight of One..." "Suzaku." "Is this a measure in order to protect Lord Guilford's honor?" "What is he talking about?" "Suzaku." "No." "I have been much too naive up to this point." "sure." "I have been telling myself that the process is more important than the result." "I believe what I personally deemed valuable was perhaps ideal and superficial." "However..." "Your Highness?" "Will you make me the Knight of One?" "Kururugi." "The appointment of the Knight of One is something only His Majesty can do." "In other words..." "Then that I shall become." "Brother!" "I shall become the emperor." "correct?" "what you just said is..." "Gino." "What's the meaning of this?" "!" "Prince Schneizel." "Will you hold true to your words?" "apparently." "His Majesty said that about this war..." "with the Black Knights..." "But" "Cornelia?" "Father has indulged himself with dangerous research and has left the throne empty for many a night." "Yes... he treated politics and wars as a game... this day and age. no longer has the right to be emperor." "He has finally made his decision." "However..." "This is... a coup d'etat?" "No... the Emperor would grant me an audience." "Order me to assassinate His Majesty." "Suzaku!" "I will admit this." "The only thing that matters... is the result... I will engage the negotiations with Prime Minister Schneizel." "umm... about Zero..." "Losing Lord Zero is a devastating blow to us which is why we need to make the most of his death." "while he is my husband Lord Zero and I are no... nothing more than husband and wife in name..." "His Majesty made landing on Kaminejima?" "with people of unknown association." "Unknown association..." "The remnants of the Geass Order?" "Are you serious about having Suzaku assassinate His Majesty?" "do you think matters are satisfactory as they are now?" "That's... authority." "The emperor of Britannia must take up those roles." "Your Highness?" "That of authority?" "perhaps." "perhaps"?" "Do you know the other meaning of authority?" "Is this the doing of Schneizel?" "It is my own will." "I am grateful to you for promoting me." "you have committed two sins." "Oh?" "you have forsaken your duties as emperor." "And the other you have involved yourself with Geass..." "And that is a sin?" "Geass brings out the evil in humans." "Yes... you would've been able to save even Euphy." "you abandoned her." "so what?" "as well." "Prepare yourself!" "why are you here?" "!" "Did you think you were the only one who knew about Geass?" "That is unfortunate." "Who do you think would trust a man who has been betraying others all his life?" "I leave this mundane affair in your hands." "Your Majesty." "Hold it!" "Ohgi?" "This is Hong Gu." "Requesting permission to land." "We have brought the Empress and Lady Kaguya." "as well... but he was a miscast after all..." "His true nature is to protect." "This isn't good..." "The Geass to "live on" is screaming at me to escape from here." "Is the Knight of One that dangerous of an adversary?" "I have thrown away my weak side!" "Foolish..." "Your weak side was exactly the thing that led indirectly to your strength known as kindness!" "strength that knows no boundaries is merely violence." "Then..." "Kururugi Suzaku! and abandoned prince of the Empire." "We cannot get in touch with His Majesty." "All suspicious figures are to be shot dead and not captured alive!" "My Lord!" "What?" "!" "Why are we being f" "Why are we firing at our own units?" "!" "but we cannot get in touch with the 3rd turret room." "There is a possibility that it has been taken over by someone... respond!" "We will forcefully take you out if you don't respond!" "We shall follow the royal guards!" "Take out all enemies!" "My Lord!" "Reinforcements from Shikinejima Base are all taking hostile action!" "there are traitors being reported." "This is... you say?" "!" "and His Majesty?" "His Majesty has moved to the safest place." "Right now... that is a crucifix I must bear!" "Who is taking command of Great Britannia?" "Lord Monika Kruszewski." "then I shall go out with Galahad." "We still can't get in contact with Mordred?" "we believe her destination is Kaminejima... she must have received the information just now and left for His Majesty." "With Suzaku?" "this is..." "Lady Kaguya." "I must head for Kaminejima right away." "as well." "There is only one man that I can think of who would draw his sword against the emperor of Britannia in a situation like this." "I share the same opinion." "there are a few points that we'd need confirmed." "We shall continue these talks after this issue." "Stop me if you think you can." "If there is anyone that holds despair greater than mine... I can't just destroy everything in sight either." "don't tell me even you're..." "Taking part in a coup d'etat and you dare call yourself the Knight of One?" "!" "What?" "Do not mistake matters!" "How do you want me to believe you?" "The enemy's coming from Shikinejima." "Monika has given testimony." "Understood." "Forgive me." "then that's fine." "What is the damage to your unit?" "Aerial mobility is decreasing." "I shall attack the rebels from land..." "Understood." "I shall protect the mothership." "Great acting." "There's no time to explain this to Bismarck. right? Marianne the Flash." "You are indeed Lelouch's mother." "what should I do?" "Should I save him?" "gods." "The moment of decision has come." "I think not." "Charles Di Britannia. with me!" "And how will you do that?" "nor Geass can take away my life..." "I thank you." "I have the measures to claim victory." "You sealed the exit?" "!" "both Geass and you shall be trapped inside this space with me. then whatever you are planning holds no meaning anymore." "It's the same thing as being dead." "Lelouch!" "This system that you have created has now become the prison that shall entrap your soul." "let us suffer together in this eternal repentance!" "There is no way to turn back now." "I shall face it... against this man..." "Charles..." "I... ye who enter here"
