(Lelouch reveals the Black Knights to the world.)
LLelouch (as Zero)
People! Fear us, or rally behind us as you see fit! We are the Black Knights!
Ironic, isn't it? The terrorists referring to themselves as knights?
We of the Black Knights stand with all those who have no weapons to wield…regardless of whether they be Elevens or Britannians! The Japan Liberation Front cowardly took innocent Britannian civilians hostage, and they mercilessly executed them! It was a wanton and meaningless act; therefore, they have been punished…
You heard me right! I said let it run! Liable?! I'll be the one responsible for this!
…just as former Viceroy Clovis was punished for ordering the slaughter of countless unarmed Elevens. We cannot stand by and allow such cruelty to be carried out, and so we made him pay for his actions. I will not repudiate battle on a fair and level field, but neither will I tolerate a one-sided massacre of the weak by the strong. The only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed! Wherever oppressors abuse their power by attacking those who are powerless, we shall appear again, no matter how mighty or formidable our foe may be!
Kallen(Thinking.) Knights…for justice?
Those of you with power, fear us! Those of you without it, rally behind us! We, the Black Knights, shall be the ones who stand in judgment of this world!
[Kallen is standing outside the Student Council room]
Kallen
[yawns] Man, this double life sure is a killer.
[muffled] Come on, Suzaku, hold him down!
[muffled] Damn it, Suzaku, cut it out! [Kallen opens the door to the Student Council room] Stop it! I'm not kidding!
Sorry, Lelouch, but it's the President's orders.
[Kallen finds Nina wearing a hat and sitting at a computer and Suzaku, Shirley, Milly, and Rivalz all dressed in cat costumes and struggling to apply makeup to a visibly defiant Lelouch, who is tied to a chair and struggling to get out]
Yeah, like you're not enjoying this at all?!
[notices Kallen's presence and turns to her] Good "meow"-ning.
Kallen
Good…morning, I guess. [Lelouch, Suzaku, Shirley, and Rivalz all look at her] What is all this?
RCRivalz Cardemonde
What do you mean? Didn't we tell you? It's our welcome party for Arthur.
Kallen
Sounds like fun.
[chuckles] Well, classes are postponed. We might as well have some fun, right?
We set some stuff aside for you over here. [points towards a rack of cat costumes and several boxes of accessories] To make up for all my getting upset at you before. Take your pick.
Kallen
What? For me?
She doesn't need a costume.
Kallen
What?
[to Kallen] You're already wearing a mask, right?
Kallen
[sarcastically, to Lelouch] You really are a riot, you know that? You ought to be on television.
[to Shirley] What do you think, Ms. TV Star?
Oh, I thought she meant Lelouch.
[sighs] Would you quit joking about that?! The whole thing's a huge pain in the butt! We've been hounded with questions day and night! Even in the bath!
We haven't been able to leave school grounds in a week!
Not that I don't feel for you, but I don't see why we can't leave either!
Hmm, that's the price of friendship. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms: "It matters not that we were born apart. Upon this day, we die as one."
Is that your idea of a love quote?
If I go down, then we all do.
That's a little dark. Right, Suzaku?
I'm glad… [tears start welling up in his eyes] That we could all be together again… You know, like this?
[jumps over Lelouch] Come on! Hey, we're supposed to be unwinding here! [takes Suzaku down to the ground with him]
[Lelouch, Shirley, and Milly all laugh]
That's what's so refreshing about Suzaku, though.
Yeah, but once in a while, you just want him to get a clue, you know?
[muffled as Rivalz starts pushing on his cheeks] Oh, sorry about that.
Aww, you wuv it, puddy tat!
[everyone starts laughing]
Kallen
[thinking] It's so funny to think that I helped save their lives.
[Kallen has found a Britannian Gloucester, which is now shooting panicking Japanese.]
Kallen
[inside the Guren Mk-II] Damn Britannian! Stop what you're doing!
[Kallen releases a few missiles, which leaves the Gloucester unarmed.]
[who is the pilot in the unarmed Knightmare] How rude of you! I'm Euphemia li Britannia, the 3rd Princess of the Imperial Palace!
Kallen
Ah, so this is where you're hiding, Puppet Princess.
Oh, you're the one from Kamine Island!
Kallen
Why the heck did you fool us?! You just killed a hundred Elevens! Don't you feel any awe or conscience?!
I must kill all the Japanese...
Kallen
So, that really is it. Fine, I'll finish you now. Any last words?
[As the Guren Mk-II closely aims at Euphemia, Zero and C.C. arrive in the Gawain.]
No, Kallen! I shall be handling the princess on my own.
Kallen
Do you want her alive?
I believe that would be unnecessary anymore.
[The Gawain swiftly destroys Euphemia's Gloucester, reducing it to a pile of scrap.]
[gets out of the Gloucester and looks around for a gun] Kill the Japanese! I must kill... Hurry, hurry! [She finds a gun and shoots the Gawain in defiant panic. The gun runs out of bullets, so Euphemia looks for extra rounds. As she finds some, Zero gets down from his Knightmare.]
Oh, I thought you were Japanese! Say, Zero, would you like to join me build the Special Administrative Zone of Japan... [realized she's talking different] Um... Japan...?
I would have liked to, Euphemia... together. [He pulls out his gun and aims it at Euphemia.]
[At that moment, Suzaku in the Lancelot catches sight of Euphemia.]
[breathes a sigh of relief] Euphie...
[Zero suddenly shoots Euphemia, the bullet piercing her stomach. Suzaku gasps in horror.]
[dumbstruck as she starts to fall down in slow-motion] Lelouch... Why...?
Farewell, Euphie... you may have been the first girl I ever loved.
[Euphemia hits the ground and lays still. A moment of silence persists before...]
[enraged and anguished] NOOOOOOOOOO!!!
[Kallen has just appeared before Lelouch and is pointing a gun at him]
You who abandoned Zero at Kamine Island, what do you want to tell me?
Kallen
Lelouch. You were deceiving me right from the very beginning.
About Zero being your classmate, or about my Geass power? Which one has offended you?
Kallen
Both of them. Tell me this: Did you use your Geass on me like you did the others? Did you twist my mind and my heart and make me follow you? [Lelouch laughs derisively] Lelouch!
Your mind and your heart are yours alone, as was your loyalty and admiration for Zero.
[Lelouch starts walking towards Kallen]
Kallen
Don't move!
[continues approaching Kallen] Kallen, you should be proud of what you did. You decided. You made the choice. You chose… [takes Kallen's gun away from her] …Zero. [Kallen backs away from Lelouch] You don't believe me?
Kallen
[hesitating] I wanted to believe, so much that I'd become a slave.
Kallen
But… [regains her composure] …The one I believe in is Zero! Just him! It's not you, Lelouch!
Well, fine with me. [notes Kallen's Playboy Bunny attire and the Knightmare Frame key stuck in her cleavage] By the way, are you ever going to change out of those clothes?
[Kallen, taken by surprise, turns away from Lelouch and tries to cover her breasts]
Kallen
Don't look at me, you pervert!
[playfully] Oh, is that the way you talk to Zero now?
Kallen
[indignant] I'm saying it to you, Lelouch!
[Kallen has just found out that Lelouch has swapped places with C.C. so he can escape back to Ashford Academy]
Kallen
When did you two switch places?
Kallen
But I--
His voice was re-recorded. The moment "he" appeared, it was already me, just like in a magic show.
Kallen
[angry] You planned it on your own. We don't like it when you keep secrets from us.
"We" don't like it? You mean, you don't like it, do you?
[Kallen has just come back from the showers and is barging in on a meeting between C.C., Gao Hai, and Xingke]
Kallen
C.C.! I was just thinking, wouldn't it have made more sense for you to have played the bunny girl?!
[Kallen realizes just what she's gotten herself into, then starts shrieking hysterically before running behind an opaque glass divider]
Kallen
[ducks out from behind the divider] I'M NOT ZERO!
Oh, you let on too soon. You have no sense of humor, do you?
Kallen
Don't play around with Zero!
[as Kallen's towel starts slipping] We can see you.
[Kallen shrieks again as she puts her towel back on and ducks behind the divider once more]
[Kallen engages one of the Glaston Knights, Alfred Darlton, in the confusion surrounding the upheaval of the Britannian forces onto the Chinese Federation consulate grounds]
Kallen
Britannia, you're on notice! This is Japanese territory now!
AAlfred
There is no Japan!
Kallen
Oh, really?! That's why I hate Britannians!
[Kallen charges towards Alfred and successfully parries his lance strike, seemingly leaving herself open for a point-blank rocket barrage from his Gloucester]
AAlfred
Goodbye, Eleven ace!
[Alfred fires his rocket pods at point-blank range, only to have the attack blunted by the Guren Mk-II's Radiant Wave Surger]
AAlfred
It's blocked at this close range?!
[Kallen clamps onto Alfred's Gloucesters head with the Radiant Wave Surger]
Kallen
This is the Radiant Wave Surger! The moment you came in close, my victory was assured! So long.
[Kallen activates the Radiant Wave Surger and fries Alfred and his Gloucester]
[closes the bucket] Y-yeah.
Aren't you just talking with somebody just now?
No, it's just you and me right now.
[blushes] That's right... It's just Lulu and me... This may be my chance! Lulu, Do you want to... Eh?
I-I'm sorry, Shirley... It's difficult to hear you from here! [to Kallen] What are you doing here?!
Kallen
I'm here to drag that pizza girl out!
She's in that big case of tomatoes. Carry the whole bucket and get it out from... WOAH!
[to the mascot] Who are you?! How dare you drag Lulu like that! Show yourself! [tries to pull the mascot's head away]
Kallen
If I did, my identity will be revealed!
[recovering from his fall] What a disgrace...
No, I don't think I have...
Cats and tomatoes don't mix!
[piloting the Ganymede] That's right, Suzaku! I'll be making the biggest pizza in the world myself! See you! [Gino zooms away with the tomato bucket]
No, wait!! [runs after the Ganymede and Kallen and Shirley follows]
Now, it's shake time! [shakes the bucket, drowning C.C.]
Oh, man, I think I'm going to rebuild the festival again.
[stops and pants] This wasn't my kind of outfit...
[runs happily and overtakes Lelouch] Fire away!
ZERO! Princess Euphemia will be AVENGED!!!
(holding her arm) Stop it, Nina! Drop the knife!
Aah!! Why are you stopping me? You all people should've understand since you were Princess Euphemia's knight!
That's right. But why...?
You were just an Eleven after all! I give you... (Kallen stopped Nina before she's about to kill Zero) Why, Kallen? You're half-Britannian and yet you choose to protect that monster!
Kallen
No, that's incorrect. I'm Japanese, Nina.
No, you're not. You're an Eleven! You're an Eleven and you pretended to be my FRIEND?!! GIVE HER BACK TO ME!!! GIVE BACK PRINCESS EUPHEMIA!!! I NEEDED HER, SHE WAS A GODDESS TO ME!!!
XWXia Wang
Well, our wedding present has arrived on its own accord. My, this worked out wonderfully.
TTianzi
You're giving them Kaguya too?!
ZHZhao Hao
Put that girl out of your mind, her crimes warrant of the death penalty.
TTianzi
No you can't! That's wrong! This isn't Britannia!
XWXia Wang
Your Majesty, the Black Knights are the ones who killed Gao Hai. Please don't get involved and leave the politics to us. Isn't that what you always done? Let's us handle things our way.
TTianzi
But... She's a friend.
Can we please stop this quarreling now? Today's the day of celebration, it is not?
Miss Sumeragi, would you refrain of having Zero accompanying me to the wedding tomorrow?
KSKaguya Sumeragi
I suppose... I don't have much of a choice, do I?
CLCai Lishi
If that is the wish of the Prime Minister of Britannia. Then, withdraw!
So Schneizel, you appeared right before me. (Suzaku is protecting Prince Schneizel) Hmph, as watchful as ever I see.
Suzaku Kururugi, do you remember me? We're cousins you and I.
We're the last remaining survivors of the Six Houses of Kyoto, aren't we?
Taizō Kirihara and the others supported terrorists. Nothing could've stay their executions.
But this is different. Cousin, did you forget that Master Zero once saved your life. Do you plan to execute someone you own your life to?
Oh, how sad! It's a good thing we're not able to kill anybody nearly of the words we say.
Prince Schneizel, would you care for a game of chess?
If I win, I like to have Sir Kururugi.
Kallen
What?
I want to give him to you, Lady Kaguya.
KSKaguya Sumeragi
Oh! How it will be a absolutely marvelous present!
Enjoy your anticipation of it. (Thinking) If I can get Suzaku out of here, I can use my Geass on all the others. A checkmate that will turn everything around.
I'll agreed to you on terms. However, If you lose, I want you to remove your mask and show your face.
What a fine evening of entertainment this has turned into.
[Suzaku attempts to apologize to Kallen for his mistreatment of her]
[Kallen assaults Suzaku, her words punctuated by punches and slaps]
Kallen
What the hell does that mean?! There's no need to apologize! It's either right or wrong! You think you can flip on the good-guy routine whenever you like?! Not when I'm this pissed off! Kallen Kōzuki's a soldier, not a sideshow! [scoffs at Suzaku as she sits back down] I'm mostly pissed off because you're not resisting. [pauses for a moment as Suzaku groans in agony] There. Put me to death. An inmate assaulting a Knight of the Round should be good reason enough for anyone.
No, I won't, because I'm the one who did wrong.
Kallen
[mockingly] "No, I won't." I HATE YOU!
