[Lelouch remembers all of his friends including Nina, Kallen, Suzaku, and Nunally ]
Long time ago, Nunally, Suzaku, and I talked about something. We wondered what happiness would look like if we could give it a physical form. If I'm not mistaken, I think it was Suzaku that said that the shape of happiness might resemble glass. His reasoning made sense. He said that even though you don't usually notice it, its still definitely there. You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light. I doubt that anything else could argue its own existence more eloquently.
How do you do everyone?. I am Nunnally vi Britannia of the royal family, 87th in line to the imperial throne. Due to the unfortunate untimely loss of Duke Calares recently, I'll shall assuming the viceroyship of Area 11 in his place.
[Lelouch, several Knights of the Round, and Lloyd Asplund are about to discuss the Special Administrative Zone of Japan]
Excuse me, I just wanted to ask you. Are you the same Zero as before, or are you a brand new one?
Zero's truth is not based on who is within. It is the actions that measure the man.
[Lelouch appears at the ceremonies that were for the opening of the Special Administrative Zone of Japan]
I do not wish to be in your debt. However, I have a question. What does it mean to Japanese? A nation.
It is language, territory, bloodlines?
No, that is not it. It is in the heart.
Then we are in agreement. A feeling within, of belonging, dignity, pride, the culture is carried in the heart. You are Japanese no matter where you are.
[Tamaki interrupts a conversation between Sugiyama, Minami, and Asahina about the Chinese Federation]
Asahina, don't you know? The High Eunuchs may be guys, but they got no jewels down below!
[Lelouch and Schneizel are playing chess; Lelouch decides to move his king]
SESchneizel el Britannia
It is your king.
If the king does not lead, then how can he expect his subordinates to follow?
Impressive strategy. In fact, I will do the same.
What?! A political marriage?!
Yes. I've received an invitation to the wedding from the Sumeragi conglomerate. The bride is to be the empress, icon of the Chinese Federation. I'm her good friend and she wants me to attend.
And the groom is to be the First Prince of Britannia.
That one they call Odysseus.
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!
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.
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.
[the Black Knights have blundered into a trap laid by Xingke and are now fighting a losing battle against Chinese Federation forces]
You've earned your victory, Xingke. I should have killed you first. You're as good a tactician as I am, and as strong a warrior as Suzaku. One could say that the heavens blessed you twice.
[cut to Zhou Xianglin, on the bridge of the Chinese Federation mobile command post]
ZXZhou Xianglin
Yes, but the heavens didn't give him enough time to live.
[Gino Weinberg, now a student at Ashford Academy, has just introduced himself to Lelouch]
I am really looking forward to this… [lengthy pause] …old man[pats Lelouch on the back].
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!
