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.
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.
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?
The empress is merely a system. There are plenty of others to replace her.
So you can't use her as a bargaining chip.
But you use her to gain noble titles in the Britannian court.
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?
Land is nothing but dirt, after all.
Correct. We're Britannian noblemen now. That's what counts.
And what about the common people you sworn to protect?
Zero, when you walk down the street, do you worry about stepping on the ants?
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?
An idealist. I never thought you were so naïve, Zero.
Indeed! Masters and commoners will always breed.
Like insects!
Radiant shield generators 2 and 5 are offline!
That leaves the deck exposed!
Stop it!
Your Majesty!
Noblemen, you're bureaucrats, paper pushers who know nothing about noblesse oblige!
Please stop it! You have to stop all this fighting!
Someone do it - I don't care who! But please, SOMEONE SAVE HER!!.
Very well, I understand. Your wish is granted. Deploys the Shinkirō and activates its shield, protecting the Empress and Xingke
[en route to the OSI command post, Lelouch is ambushed by a girl named Miya, who steals his hat]
I did it! Now I get to be Lelouch's girlfriend!
Of course. [turns around to face Miya] Miya, is it?
What's up, honeybunch?
[removes his contact lens to reveal his active Geass sigil] Would you mind very much giving me that hat back?
[is overcome by Geass] Okay!
Now I'm more confused than usual. What am I doing here?
[Lelouch is overseeing Sayoko's actions from the OSI's underground command post]
Sayoko, watch what you have me say, or I'll come off as being kind of mental.
[Rivalz is prowling the campus on his motorcycle looking for Lelouch so he can deliver him to Milly]
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]
Whoa, that can't be for real!
It is.
[Anya has just smashed through the library wall with the Mordreds fist, and Viletta is trying to talk her down]
Knight of Six, milady! This is an operations area of the OSI! Please, withdraw your Knightmare at once!
This is wrong?
Yes, very wrong!
Wrong.
[Gino tries to explain the deployment of the Mordred at Ashford Academy to the Knight Police]
This is a school for commoners. Things like this happen all the time.
They say they're going to kill God.
God?
I thought they were speaking metaphorically. But now, at the very least, these people believe what they're saying!
Ridiculous! To believe in God... there's no such being!
That's right. (Both Bartley and Cornelia turn to see V.V.) Knowing goddesses and long bearded white men in white gowns in kingdoms and clouds. No, not that sort of god-- (Cornelia throws a knife into V.V.'s forehead, knocking him to the ground.)
(shocked) Princess Cornelia!
Who knows what type of Geass he controls? You must never let your guard down, even for a child!
(still alive) Yes, that's correct. (stands up) Cornelia, you do left you're reputation, don't you? (He then takes the knife out of his forehead.) As your uncle, I'm very proud of you.
(shocked) My what?
We made a solemn vow. If there was ever a God that made men fight each other. We must kill him and his divine rule.
Right. I've sent Jeremiah on ahead. He'll take care of any obstacles in the way. Don't try to fight him. He just came over to our side.
[He runs up the escalator, only to stop as he notices someone lying on the ground in the smoke. Immediately worried, he quickly runs over and gasps in terror when he sees who it is. Shirley Fenette is lying on the ground with a heavy amount of blood leaking from her body, a gunshot wound in her chest being the source of the bleeding.]
[horrified] Shirley!
[He kneels down to her, overlooking her mortal wound.]
Shirley, who did this to you?
[voice weak, smiling] Lulu... I'm glad we can talk at the very end.
Don't say that. It's not the end. [takes out his cellphone] I'll call a doctor, so just--
[Shirley puts her hand on Lelouch's cellphone to stop him.]
Ever since my memories have come back, I've been feeling so very afraid. A teacher who wasn't a teacher. Friends who don't have memories to share. Everyone... was just... lying. It felt as though the whole world was spying on me. That's the world you've been fighting all by yourself, isn't it? All alone. So that's why I... why I wanted to be someone who would at least be truthful to you.
Shirley...
Lulu... I love you. Even knowing how you caught my father in all this... I simply couldn't hate you. Even though you made me forget everything, I still fell in love with you. [She tightens her grip on Lelouch's hand.] Even though my memories were tampered with, I kept falling in love... with you all over again.
[As her life peters out, her eyes begin to close. Lelouch, in a moment of grief-stricken panic, immediately removes the contact over his Geass eye.]
[shouting] NO, SHIRLEY! YOU CAN'T DIE!
[He activates his Geass, attempting to will her into finding the strength to survive. While it kicks in, she ultimately lacks the physical strength to carry out the command. In addition, Shirley manages to overcome it, just to continue speaking to Lelouch.]
No matter how many times I'm reborn... [More blood has started pouring up from the hole in her chest.] ...I'll keep falling in love with you, Lulu. [Her blood is leaking onto the floor, to Lelouch's feet.] I suppose that it's simply fate.
[desperate] No, don't die! [He uses his Geass yet again.] I ORDER YOU NOT TO DIE!
[Once again, the Geass cannot will her into surviving. Shirley's eyes start to fill with tears.]
So is that okay, then, Lulu? [Tears are forming in Lelouch's eyes.] And as I'm reborn... I'll fall in love with you over and over. [Shirley's eyes continue to close.] I'll keep... falling... in love... with... y...
[Her voice giving out, Shirley closes her eyes and dies. Her hand falls limp into the pool of her own blood. Lelouch twitches, eyes wide and brimming over with tears.]
[shocked, disbelieving] Shirley...? Shirley!
[He stares in denial at her corpse with tears pouring from his eyes, shaking in grief... and he screams in despair.]
That machine was made so that I could prove my loyalty.
Jeremiah, I thought that you had a personal grudge against Zero.
I did because I thought he was a mere commoner preventing me from serving the royal family, but now I know who he is, and I know that by serving him, I am serving MY LADY MARIANNE!
[Lelouch and Cornelia prepare to strike the final blow on V.V.'s Siegfried .]
Now you will suffer for what you did to Euphie…
…the source…
(In unison) …of Geass!
It's been a long time, Lelouch. My prodigal son.
Answer my question about eight years ago! Why you didn't tried to protect Mother? You knew the others were plotting against her! You know everything!
People are not equal!
What?
You have a unique form of Geass! A power that no one else possesses! Use it, to get the answer from me!
[Thinking] He's baiting me, trying to get me to use my Geass on him. But... If I look into his eyes, then he'll look into mine. His Geass requires eye contact just like mine does. So the moment I look, his Geass will take control of me and he'll alter my memories. What will I do?
What's wrong? Are you not my son, a prince of Britannia?
[activating his Geass] I have no time to make the wrong choice!
Chigusa.
That was the name you called me when I lost my memory. What's my real name?
Villetta. But that doesn't change anything.
I am a Britannian baroness. No matter what the reason, if I don't erase the disgrace of my having loved an Eleven, I won't be able to live in this world.
I suppose not. If I must die, I just wish it could've been in Japan.
You came here knowing I was going to kill you?
Everybody dies. I wanted to choose the time.
You can also choose to kill me if you want. Tell me, why did a terrorist save a Britannian in the first place?
In the beginning, I thought I could get information from you about Zero. I tricked you, kept you under surveillance. But while we lived together, I-
I'm your sworn enemy!
But I still love you!
Are you insane?!
I must be. You are the enemy. But I can't stop myself from loving you!
[sobbing] I wish I've never set eyes on you-
