[Kallen is standing outside the Student Council room]
[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.
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.
[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.
She doesn't need a costume.
[to Kallen] You're already wearing a mask, right?
[sarcastically, to Lelouch] You really are a riot, you know that? You ought to be on television.
Rivalz[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!
Rivalz
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."
Rivalz
Is that your idea of a love quote?
If I go down, then we all do.
Rivalz
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?
Rivalz
[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.
Rivalz
Aww, you wuv it, puddy tat!
[everyone starts laughing]
[thinking] It's so funny to think that I helped save their lives.
[Rivalz is prowling the campus on his motorcycle looking for Lelouch so he can deliver him to Milly]
Rivalz
Prez, if Lelouch is who you want, then I, Rivalz Cardemonde, will give you what you want! My best friend in the world!
[Rivalz spots the Mordred flying overhead]
Rivalz
Whoa, that can't be for real!
[broadcasting] It has been one month since the destruction caused by the F.L.E.I.J.A. warhead. Today His Majesty, Emperor Charles will make an important announcement to the entire nation. We will bringing you live international coverage of this from Pendragon Imperial Palace. Even though His Majesty had not made any public appearances in the past month.
CLCarine le Britannia
Didn't somebody say that the emperor was missing?
GSGuinevere su Britannia
Bismarck was the one who reported that and he is gone.
OEOdysseus eu Britannia
As for Schneizel and the others, where are they?
GGuinevere
Don't know, there's been no word from Cambodia yet.
Presenting His Imperial Majesty!
GGuinevere
But that's not...
CCarine
Where's His Majesty?
Rivalz
WHAT?! It can't be!
But how...? There's no way!
Greetings, I'm Lelouch vi Britannia of the Royal Family, 99th Emperor of the Realm.
BWBismarck Waldstein
Good Lord!
CCarine
It's really you?!
GGuinevere
You're alive?!
Yes, sister, I am. I've returned from the depths of hell intact.
OOdysseus
Lelouch, how good to see you! When Nunnally was located, I figured that you would be found alive too. But now, aren't you carrying this joke a bit too far? That's the throne of our father...
Charles zi Britannia, the 98th Emperor, no longer lives, and I'm the one who took his life. [Everyone gasps] Therefore, that makes me the next emperor!
CCarine
What are you saying?! Are you nuts?!
GGuinevere
Guards! Take that fool and execute him! He's guilty of murdering our emperor!!!
May I introduce, Suzaku Kururugi, my knight! A knight of the realm above all others! I granted him a title the "Knight of Zero"!
Suzaku?! They're working together?!
OOdysseus
Lelouch, Sir Kururugi. This just won't do, pulling a bad stunt like this on an international broadcast...
Do you think so? Then let me make this easy for you all to understand... [activates his Geass on everyone] Acknowledge me as your emperor!
OOdysseus
Lelouch, I insist that you stop joking around like that... [Everyone is now under the control of his Geass] We hear and obey, Your Majesty!
CGCarine and Guinevere
All Hail Emperor Lelouch!!!
EEveryone
ALL HAIL LELOUCH!!! ALL HAIL LELOUCH!!! ALL HAIL LELOUCH!!! ALL HAIL LELOUCH!!! ALL HAIL LELOUCH!!! ALL HAIL LELOUCH!!! ALL HAIL LELOUCH!!!
[Rivalz interrupts a conversation between Lelouch and Suzaku by charging in on his motorcycle]]
Rivalz
Hey, Lelouch! [gets off his motorcycle]
Rivalz
I heard the President's doing a blind date thing again!
Rivalz
Today?! [grabs Lelouch by the collar] Why didn't you tell me about it?!
Because it'd make you cry.
Rivalz
Boys don't cry!
It's okay. I didn't know about it either.
Rivalz
[lets go of Lelouch and turns towards Suzaku] Don't give me your emo routine!
I guess compassion is not in fashion these days.
