Episode 6
Bonds, made and rebuilt
*The whole world watches in awe as the truth is revealed*
Zero: So Suzaku Kururugi, now that the truth is completely revealed, where do your loyalties lie now?
Suzaku: Just as they always have, Zero, to the people, the ones who's live are most affected by the conflicts of the powerful.
Zero: It seems you haven't changed in my absence that is very good, in light of this Suzaku, I see no reason to remove you of your position. However, I do wish to regain control of the organization I started, the Black Knights.
Suzaku: You are very gracious and generous *kneels in respect, then stares into Zero's eyes, almost piercing the mask* but I'm afraid it isn't your choice, nor my own. Its the people's choice who shall do what at this point
Zero: Once again, perfect answer Suzaku, *shouts to the world* People of Japan, no the world, shall Suzaku Kururugi maintain his position and will you be willing to allow me the Black Knights again, and allow us to cooperate to end Isaak's rebellion and bring true peace back to the world!?!
*the massive crowd sits in silence for a moment, but the crowd agrees and allows Zero's proposition go through*
Zero: *talking to Suzaku again* It has truly been a nostalgic reunion my old friend, but we must part yet again for now, however we will be seeing more of eachother, seeing as we're working together now *CC's knightmare comes beside him, and Zero jumps onto her knightmare, and they leave the battlefield, as the crowd disperserece and the Black Knights return to their barracks*
*scene ends and then Lelouch and CC are in Lelouch's dorm room*
CC: That went quite well.
Lelouch: Yes it did, it actually went much better than expected.
CC: what do you mean? What were you really expecting to happen?
Lelouch: To begin with I was certain I would have to take off the mask. *lays down on his bed*
CC: So did I, but its much better that you didn't have to do that.
Lelouch: Yes it is. Wait, CC, should you hurry over to your room, in the "girl's" section?
CC: I should, but I thought I'd just stay here instead, and its such a long walk all the way over there. *sits down on Lelouch's bed by his feet*
Lelouch: Your immortal, it wont kill you. *gently pushes her off his bed*
CC: Fine. *pouts just a little, and head to the door*
Lelouch: *gets up and walks behind her* Im sorry, I didn't mean it quite like that.
CC: Its alright, but like you said, I should go *opens and walks out before he had the chance to stop her*
Lelouch: hmmmm I wonder what's going on with her, she's been acting a little weird ever since we came back to Japan. Oh well. *hides the Zero costume, and goes to bed*
CC: *walking to her room on the other side of campus, and talks quietly to herself* That idiot, we've been together for what, twenty years now, and I'm no closer than I was then. He can conquer the world, and beat any body at a game of chess, but that idiot can't begin to tell when a girl freaking likes his stupid **BLEEP**
Milly: Hey CC, heading to your room?
CC: *a little shocked, and kind of almost blushing* Oh Milly, um... Yea I was.
Milly: well, that's too bad. Something's happened and we've had to close off the section of your floor.
CC: What happened?
Milly: Water leak, don't worry your stuff wasn't damaged, though you didn't have much to damage. We went ahead and moved your stuff to your new room.
CC: which is where?
Milly: This floor, actually room 218 I went ahead and move your stuff up there for you, since you didn't have much, hope you didn't mind.
CC: No not at all, thanks.
Milly: oh say "hi" to your room mate for me ^^ *walks off*
CC: room mate? (just great. What's going on now?) *walks around till she finds her new room and knocks on the door*
???: Come in. It's open.
CC: (that sounds like.... Oh.I'm going to kill Milly) *opens the door and walks in cautously* Hello?
Reiko: Hey CC (kind of odd name, oh well) looks like we're room mates for a little while *she says happier as could be*
CC: yea... (Now I remember why Lelouch was never happy about Milly's sense of humor) looks like we are after all, miss Kouzuki.
Reiko: Oh, please, just call me Reiko. You have the left side of the room, hope you don't mind sharing the room with me. I try to keep the place clean.
CC: Its ok, looks nice right now (hmm maybe she wont be that bad after all, she seems nice) *goes and sits down on her bed*
Reiko: *blushing a little bit* um, CC, can I ask you a few things?
CC: Sure, I guess. *rather puzzled*
Reiko: What's Lelouch like?
CC: *still confused* what exactly do you mean? And why are you asking?
Reiko: I mean, he's new to the school and everything, and you two seem to be close. So I'm kind of curious about him.
CC: okay... Well, what would you like to know?
Reiko: *blushing a little bit again* Anything really, just, what does he like or, I don't know, just what makes him different?
CC: He likes chess, he's really smart, he loves a challenge (almost too well). Is that what you wanted to know?
Reiko: Yea, kind of, you two do spend a lot of time together, though. Why is that?
CC: We've known each other for years, I'd say I probably know him better than almost anyone.
Reiko: Oh, I see. So, are you two, like, together?
CC: Yea right, girls are about the last thing that's ever on his mind.
Reiko: Is he gay?
CC: No I don't think he is. (Well....Suzaku..... Nah.. ) *shakes her head to clear her "disturbing" thought* No I doubt Lelouch is gay.
Reiko: Oh he's that type of guy, Takashi used to be like that, but ... *Reiko's cell phone rings, and its a text message from Takashi* Speak of the devil, awwww *the text reads, "Good night baby, Love Takashi"* Anyways, now I'm really starting to think I am the only thing on his mind.
CC: Isnt that a good thing?
Reiko: Normally, but he's a little obsessive. Its starting to be a little annoying, but I still think its cute.
CC: (I really wish Lelouch felt that way... )
*the next morning*
Lelouch: *knocks on the door, of CC's room*
Reiko: I've got it. *She says sleepily, and wearing only the "small" amount of clothes she slept in, Reiko opens the door to find Lelouch*
Lelouch: *when the door opens, his eyes fall upon his half naked daughter, and his whole face turns beat red instantly*
Reiko: *even redder, covers her body with her arms, and slams the door* (Oh My God, I can't believe he saw me) CC, its for you. *Reiko heads to the closet to hide and put something on*
CC: OK (who could that be?) *opens the door, wearing not much more than Reiko* Oh, hi, Lelouch. Come in.
Lelouch: You sure? *walks in behind CC, still red*
CC: *Sits on her bed* So what brings you all the way over here?
Lelouch: I felt a little bad after last night, so I thought I'd come find you this morning, but I ran into Milly, and she said you had a new room and roommate. Never thought it would be Reiko though.
CC: Yea, another one of her games, she's so famous for. *rolls eyes then looks at Reiko just not coming out of the closet dressed*
Reiko: Sorry about that, didn't think any guy would be over here, well... aside from Takashi *blushes a little bit again*
Lelouch: Its alright, I didn't see much, and I wont say anything... ok? Anyways, CC, even though its the weekend, we got a busy day ahead of us.
CC: *lays down* I really don't feel like anything today.
Reiko: Come on, I mean... didn't you know, today's the first meeting of Zero and... Suzaku. You have got to go. My mom's going to be there. *she smiles*
Lelouch: Yea she's right, we have got to be there you know. *throws her clothes at her* So, get dressed. I'll wait outside *gets up and walks to the door*
CC: Guess you're right. *gets dressed and walks out the door after Lelouch*
*they are walking alone*
CC: Wow, why did you get the meeting so soon?!
Lelouch: Two reasons, I have to see Nunnally again.
CC: and the other?
Lelouch: Suzaku's idea... Personally I think Kallen helped him set it up so soon.
CC: Well that may be for the better. I mean 18 years since you've seen any of them.
Lelouch: True. We have to be there in about one hour, anything you can think of?
CC: No, but, who all is going to be there?
Lelouch: Im not completely sure about everyone, but Suzaku of course, Nunnally, Kallen, Oghi, Toudoh, and possibly some other people.
CC: Well, I assumed that much, I was meaning, do you think that Reiko or Lorelei will be there?
Lelouch: They wont be, I specifically told him that none of the children should be there.
CC: Children, there as old as you and I, well, when we started this mess, don't you think they should know some of this?
Lelouch: You are right, and they will know, just not so soon.
*skips ahead to the meeting*
Zero: *Enters the meeting room with CC, with her in her Black Knight uniform, and a silence fills the room.*
Suzaku: *in his old Knight of Zero uniform* Good morning Zero, sorry if this was too soon for you, but welcome back Zero.
Zero: It is good to finally be back, and no it isn't too early, in fact maybe the sooner the better. So who here knows the truth?
Suzaku: Only Nunnally, me, and Kallen.
Zero: That's good I suppose.
Toudoh: *finally breaking the silence of the spectators* Zero, we have met many Zeros in our time in the Black Knights, how do we know that you aren't just another Imposter.
Suzaku: Trust me, he is the real zero, the one that brought us all this far.
Zero: No he is right, they deserve to know the truth as well.
Kallen: *hesitantly speaking* Zero, is that really such a good idea?
Zero: Yes they all need to know, we need fewer lies between us than what we had 18 years ago Kallen. You of all people should agree with that.
Kallen: I understand sir.
Suzaku: Well, before we start the reunion, I say we speak about Isaak, he's going to try again, and unless we're ready for him, who knows what's going to happen.
Zero: That's why we give him the perfect opportunity to attack, then counter.
Suzaku: That sounds almost too easy.
Toudoh: I agree. He knows what he's doing, it wont be that easy.
Zero: I realize this, which is why we make it seem like we still think he's nothing. I have everything planned out already.
Kallen: And what might that be exactly Zero?
Zero: I say we set up some special celebration for my return, then set the stage to our benefit.
Suzaku: That could work, but are you certain he will come.
Toudoh: Forget if he comes, but when he does, what about the civilians?!
Zero: He's fighting for a purpose, he wont harm that many people without true warrant, but regardless you do have a point Toudoh, which is why there will be no civilians. Just only Black Knights that are dressed for the occasion.
Kallen: that sounds, like it should work, but will he even come?
Suzaku: He will come, we just have to make it sound like it will be the perfect chance to catch all of us off guard.
Zero: Yes, lets set this for a few weeks in time, too soon would make it sound like a trap or something.
CC: *giggles lightly to herself* (wow, he truly is his old self again, which means... I will get no attention till this is all said and done)
Ohgi: I've sat silent enough, though that does seem good..Its almost too perfect. We need to know who you are before we put any more faith in you!
Zero: You are right, forgive me for wasting time. Allow me to truly and formally introduce myself... *he slowly takes off the mask of Zero* I am, Lelouch Vi Brittania.
