NENina Einstein
An…Eleven?
JSJapanese soldier
[riled] What did you say?!
JSJapanese soldier
[point his gun at them] We're not Elevens! We're Japanese, damn it!
MAMilly Ashford
Yes, we're aware of that! Just lay off of her!
JSJapanese soldier
Then correct her! We're not called Elevens!
JSJapanese soldier
How dare you speak like that to me! You three, come with me to the next room and I'll teach you a real lesson!
Nina[sobbing] No…No!
JSJapanese solider
I said, get up now! [grabs Nina's arm]
Nina
Ahhhhh! Let me go!
JSJapanese soldier
Who the hell are you?! [throws Nina to the side]
I demand you to take me to your leader right now! Understand?
JSJapanese soldier
What?!
SSubordinate
[in an urgent whisper] No, Sub-Viceroy, please!
[takes off her glasses] You're addressing Euphemia li Britannia, the Third Princess of the Britannian Empire.
[to Nina] Are you all right, young lady? You haven't been hurt?
Nina
[almost speechless] No…
[Two Black Knights searching for Viletta in the Ganymede hangar at Ashford Academy are startled when the Ganymede, rigged with a primitive nuclear bomb, activates]
Nina
Zero, Princess Euphemia…
[cut to the Britannian Government Bureau, where Cornelia is fighting Lelouch and C.C.]
[the Gawain misses an attack on Cornelia's Gloucester, which counters by charging with its lance]
[Cornelia's Gloucester strafes the Gawain with its machine gun as Lelouch desperately types away at the Gawains controls]
The specs on this thing are far superior to hers!
[the Gawain attempts to take off, only to get snagged by the Gloucesters Slash Harkens; the Gloucester now attempts to latch onto the larger Knightmare]
You're just a weakling! I have you! I have you right where I want you! Your life is now in my hands!
[Cornelia readies the final blow]
[out of nowhere, Cornelia's Gloucester gets impaled by a Knightmare's EM lance]
DDarlton
[via radio] Princess, it's me, Darlton.
[gasps, dumbstruck by Darlton's treachery] Why? Darlton, why?
DDarlton
Don't be afraid. I haven't come to kill you, milady.
DDarlton
I've come to deliver you to Zero, Your Highness.
[Darlton suddenly relents as the Geass command placed on him wears off and he sees Cornelia's Gloucester plummeting to the ground]
DDarlton
What have I done?! Why, Princess?!
[Cornelia's Gloucester smashes on the ground]
[Lelouch repays Darlton for his service by firing on his Gloucester with the Gawains hadron cannons]
DDarlton
[as his Gloucester is exploding] PRINCESS!!!
[Darlton is consumed in the explosion of his Gloucester.]
Nina
ZERO! Princess Euphemia will be AVENGED!!!
(holding her arm) Stop it, Nina! Drop the knife!
Nina
Aah!! Why are you stopping me? You all people should've understand since you were Princess Euphemia's knight!
That's right. But why...?
Nina
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!
No, that's incorrect. I'm Japanese, Nina.
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!!!
Nina
A single shot from the Mordreds Stark Hadron cannon would demolish the Mausoleum, wouldn't it?
Well, yes. If you just want to crush them.
KMKanon Maldini
And the moment we did that they'd say we killed their empress. We have to let the High Eunuchs make that last mortal blow.
ZHZhao Hao
So, you admit you're outmatched. Well, we won't accept your surrender. It's too late now.
You insist on fighting? Even though your own empress will die in the attack?
ZHZhao Hao
The empress is merely a system. There are plenty of others to replace her.
CZCheng Zhong
So you can't use her as a bargaining chip.
But you use her to gain noble titles in the Britannian court.
ZHZhao Hao
You have sharp ears, don't you? A cheap price to pay for power.
Cheap? A phony treaty that gives China's land to a foreign nation?
XWXia Wang
Land is nothing but dirt, after all.
ZHZhao Hao
Correct. We're Britannian noblemen now. That's what counts.
And what about the common people you sworn to protect?
ZHZhao Hao
Zero, when you walk down the street, do you worry about stepping on the ants?
CZCheng Zhong
You throw away paper that clings to your bottom, don't you? It's the same thing.
You sell out your country, abandon your empress, betray your own people, and all for what?
XWXia Wang
An idealist. I never thought you were so naïve, Zero.
ZHZhao Hao
Indeed! Masters and commoners will always breed.
CZCheng Zhong
Like insects!
FSFutaba Sumeragi
Radiant shield generators 2 and 5 are offline!
That leaves the deck exposed!
Noblemen, you're bureaucrats, paper pushers who know nothing about noblesse oblige!
TTianzi
Please stop it! You have to stop all this fighting!
[Lloyd, Cécile, Nina, Suzaku, and Anya are discussing plans for an impending attack on Tokyo]
Huh? Mount the F.L.E.I.J.A. onto the Lancelot?
Well, the intention was for Suzaku to pilot the Guren, but…
Sorry, he's right. I got so carried away I forgot. It's just, Lloyd and I got so wrapped up in our little hobby that we--
Rakshata's mechanisms are quite easy to tinker with. Now it's so souped up it can't be flown! End result, you're our little devicer again!
Nina
Excuse me, Professor Lloyd? Now that you've mentioned the Lancelot--
You wouldn't mix up a strategic weapon with a tactical one, would you?
Nina
I have thought it through. Any matter caught in the primary effect field will be annihilated by the F.L.E.I.J.A.s rapid sphere collapse.
Hold on! You want Suzaku to fire a weapon like that?!
He'll kill his own people. A massacre.
Nina
Suzaku, you don't consider yourself an Eleven anymore, right? That's why I want to entrust the F.L.E.I.J.A. to you.
You'd give me…that burden?
Nina
You were Princess Euphemia's knight, so naturally.
[spins in a circle before facing Nina] Nina, darling, a fine quandary. Might just kill Suzaku…and take you along as well.
