Stage 50 – U.F.N. Resolution #1

Anya approaches C.C. who is observing the destruction of the Tokyo Settlement. C.C. questions why she’s here and Anya says that she’s really Marianne and just using this girls body but C.C. already knew that. So Marianne thanks C.C. for the Geass, it has been most helpful. Marianne then questions why C.C. denied Charles her code, he would have granted C.C.’s wish. C.C. says that things change, the two then catch up and discuss the desired world Charles is trying to bring about.

Eventually Marianne asks C.C. if they’re still allies and if she’ll come with her to fulfill what the three of them(Charles, Marianne, and C.C.) desire. C.C. tells Marianne that she no longer holds such a desire which confuses Marianne who asks C.C. if her change is because of Lelouch. C.C. says that a lot has happened since they’ve last met and that she isn’t going to come with Marianne.

C.C. then appears and tells Lelouch to stop being an idiot already and explains that he still has that contract with her that hasn’t been fulfilled yet. Lelouch finally warms up and says he had forgotten but now he remembers that his life is still worth living thanks to everyone’s efforts.

Kallen is happy to see Lelouch is no longer being depressed, Tamaki finally breaks free and says that no matter what he always believed in Zero! They’re best buddies after all! Esther tells Tamaki that just a moment ago he showing anything but belief, that’s just irrational of him to make such a statement! Crowe says that Tamaki seems genuine over this at least. The Captains then question Lelouch and ask if Zero will be leading them once more. Lelouch says that he has a condition of ZEXIS if they want his leadership, allow Japan to establish its own official Government and to protect its legitimacy.

It turns out that Lelouch has decided that he will keep his promise after all despite Ohgi and Toudou still doubting him which makes them feel bad. C.C. explains that Charles is up to something with Lelouch saying that his problems will come after his promises from now on. Lelouch then looks at the mask of Zero and says that he’ll change this world into the one Nunnally desired. To accomplish this the world needs not Lelouch but Zero.

Elsewhere Empress Tianzi announces that the UFN is on track for its desire of peace and that Japan is recognized as its own nation once more! At least the UFN recognizes this even if Britannia refuses to depart from Japan and insists that it’s still Area 11. The Black Knights are extremely happy with what has happened with Duo teasing them because it looks like they’re about to cry. Shinn tells Duo that he’s being rude with Lunamaria telling him that he’s just overreacting, this is Duo they’re talking about here. Anyway, a lot has happened and Asahina says that he was truly wrong about Zero who has come through in the end like he said he would.

Kaguya announces that the nations of the UFN recognizes ZEXIS as their military arm and with their help they’ll finally achieve long sought after world peace and that ZEXIS will be only asked to put their strength to use for the greater good. Amuro says that was quite the speech, Quattro thinks that this means a ton of responsibility for ZEXIS to undertake. Watta wonders what this all means for the future and Kappei is pretty angry that Zero is their leader but is still considered a terrorist.

Roger Smith explains that it’s better this way and that this gives them more leeway on doing what they want. The UFN can recognize the Black Knights and ZEXIS but recognizing Zero after all that happens is too much. At least publicly. Make no mistake they have faith in Zero privately. Talk continues on about the UFN, Zero, and of Japan being free after all this time. Eventually Crowe comes in and says that Britannia has mobilized another large force and don’t recognize Japan as an Independent Nation.

Charles has mobilized a massive Britannia armada and has decided that he wants to play a bit before he changes the world. His Geass agent says that he has the code of V.V. surely it’s enough to obtain his desires. That isn’t the case, besides they still have time before all the Geass ruins are synchronized so that he may continue with his plans. What of Schneziel? Charles says that he doesn’t care about him since his plans are already in motion and soon none of this will matter. He’s warned that ZEXIS has arrived in force to confront them.

Xingke and Wufei are fighting to represent China and aren’t happy to see Charles here. Charles says that he has been waiting for ZEXIS and is surprised that Lelouch is here as well. Lelouch is rightly angry at seeing Charles and that Charles would so casually announce who he is. Roger says that if he’s trying to divide them he has already failed, they already worked out their issues and know of Lelouch. Roger asks what Charles really hopes to accomplish with Geass and that he can still try and make peace with the world if he stops this madness. Charles says that he doesn’t care and that he’ll change the world soon enough by his own means.

Roger questions if Charles honestly thinks they’ll let him have his way with Charles becoming furious that Roger questions his power and orders his forces to attack ZEXIS which pisses them off. Lelouch says that he will make Charles pay and that he wont have his way any longer. Lelouch goes into badass mode and announces that Charles vi Britannia will fall this day and that he’s no longer Lelouch vi Britannia! Today the one that shall defeat Charles will be Zero!

Charles finds this amusing and basically says “Cool Story, Bro”. C.C. wonders what she should do since she knows what Charles is really trying to accomplish. Roger says that everyone already went through the whole Lelouch is dead thing already. Lelouch tells him to stop raining on his parade and help him take out Charles. Charles says that it’s all pointless, ZEXIS is only prolonging these wars! Had they not intervened Charles would have ended these petty wars a long time ago.

ZEXIS of course don’t know what the heck he means, how does being a warmonger and enslaving entire countries pave a way towards peace? Charles goes full angry mode and berates the hell out of ZEXIS and explains some of his plans to them. Esther thinks he’s full of shit and no matter what he says it doesn’t change that he has done so many horrible things already. Charles says he doesn’t need to convince them, if they believe they’re right then come at him already! Lelouch says he’ll be glad to and orders ZEXIS to attack, take out Charles! With that Lelouch powers up(He starts at MAX Morale/Will).

When Bismarck is defeated he still can’t believe how this is happening yet again. Charles tells Bismarck that he has done enough and that he should leave since his plan requires that Bismarck not die off just yet. Bismarck protests that he can’t just abandoned Charles but Charles assures him that he isn’t going down here and that this is an order. Besides, their plans are already in motion so a loss here means nothing. Bismarck relents and goes ALL HAIL BRITANNIA as he leaves.

Charles tells ZEXIS that this isn’t over and if that’s the best that they got! Quattro is surprised that Charles has such resolve but he’s adamant that they wont let him have his way. Charles says that his plans are already in motion and that his defeat here means nothing. Ohgi then says that more Britannian forces are arriving and they do. Charles orders them deal with those cretins with Suzaku saying he will.

However, instead of staying to fight Charles orders them all to stay here and hold the line since he’s needed elsewhere. Clearly Charles has something big worked up. He departs with Suzaku being confused as heck, Lelouch accuses Suzaku as a traitor and he wants to go after Charles. Suzaku tells Lelouch that he’ll be his enemy and he isn’t going anywhere. Kallen tells Zero that she will deal with Suzaku and make him pay for what he has done.

Suzaku is furious that Kallen gets in the way between Lelouch and him once more. Even ZEXIS at that! It’s because of them that this world is so rotten and it’s because of Lelouch that he was forced to fire FLEIA and killed all those people! He cannot forgive them, they must pay! ZEXIS says that Suzaku made his own decisions and that he’s working with the very people that screwed up this world. Toudou goes far to ask why Suzaku has gone so far for someone like Charles?! Banjou chips in that Suzaku is making a mistake, clearly he knows that what he’s doing will only bring more sadness.

Kouji orders Zero to go after Charles, leave these mooks to them. Lelouch doesn’t want to just abandon his friends but Amuro reminds him that the world is at stake here, they can’t let whatever Charles is planning become a reality! Even Lelouch refuses to just leave things as is, he seriously wants Suzaku to pay. ZEXIS continues to talk reason to Lelouch until he finally relents and says that he will take down Charles.

Once he’s gone C.C. wants to go after him, he will need help. Esther says that the rest is up to them and that she doesn’t mind at all. Crowe says that’s pretty mature of Esther. Esther doesn’t understand and says that she’s only doing her part. Kallen goes on to say that she’ll handle Suzaku and berates him for firing FLEIA! Esther is shocked at Kallen’s berating, she’s really unloading on Suzaku.

Kallen says that Zero is only trying to make a better world for everyone else, why can’t Suzaku get off his damn high horse already and realize that?! As ZEXIS tries to guilt trip Suzaku he also receives a talking to from Gino who is uneasy about all this. Suzaku asks what Gino is implying since they have their orders. Yeah well, he doesn’t like this at all! Besides, aren’t these their friends? Suzaku says that he has no damn friends and that the blood of all those Japanese are on his hands and Lelouch will pay for what he has done!

Gino doesn’t know what to say as Suzaku says that he will take out Lelouch, ZEXIS, and anyone that has played a part in screwing up this world! Their sins are just too great to overlook! If Gino doesn’t have the stomach for this he can get the heck out of here, Suzaku on the other hand wants to fight! Kallen calls Suzaku an idiot and that she will not let him get all self-righteous on everyone. Suzaku tells her that he fights for the world that Euphiemia desired and that world can’t exist as long as people like them are allowed to do as they please!

Suzaku doesn’t want to lose, he’s fighting for a world that Euphiemia would have desired. No, he can still fight despite getting smacked around so easily! Toudou tells Suzaku to get a grip on himself already, there is no honor in this! Suzaku hesitates as Toudou reminds him of their past together and that he’s Japanese. Suzaku doesn’t care for that, he wants revenge! Toudou continues that Suzaku needs to realize that the Japanese have not been better off under Britannia already, if he continues then he shames all that have died and all that will die by his hands! Suzaku grits his teeth and retreats.

Ohgi then picks something up on his sensors, it’s OZ and they’re lead by Trieze! Naturally ZEXIS isn’t happy about another force coming in to try and capitalize on Britannia’s defeat.

Trieze greets ZEXIS and says that they have fought admirably, Wufei and Quatre don’t understand what is going on. Schneziel says that he has decided to work together with Trieze, oh and he did say that they would see him again soon enough. Roger Smith asks what Schneziel wants and he says that he wants to fight ZEXIS since they’re standing in the way of his plans. As far as he’s concerned they’re a much bigger threat than that fool Charles who lives only in the past.

Shinn wants to kick the crap out of Schneziel for what he tried to pull earlier. Amuro senses someone is coming, it’s Suzaku! Kallen isn’t happy to see him but Suzaku says that he’s only here for C.C.. C.C. asks if it’s because of what she thinks it is, Suzaku confirms that it is and he wants her to help him. C.C. decides that she will come which surprises Kallen. There’s no need to worry, assures C.C. to Kallen and that her presence is merely required. Kallen asks if this will help Zero, C.C, says this will.

Kallen relents and tells C.C. to do what she must and to help Zero. Toudou bids Suzaku farewell as Suzaku and C.C. leave. Crowe asks if this is okay with Toudou and he says that it’s out of his hands. Tamaki says that they just can’t leave C.C. as is but Toudou tells him that they need to trust in Zero and focus on defending Japan from its enemies. Crowe says he’s fine with this, though Kallen wonders about the encounter between Lelouch and Suzaku and hopes that they can resolve their differences as she prepares to fight OZ and Britannia.

Suzaku is lead to Kaminejima by C.C. and asks if Lelouch is really here, C.C. says Lelouch is indeed here. Possessed Anya appears and says that she has been expecting C.C. and is glad she finally came around. Suzaku asks what’s wrong with Anya with C.C. explaining that Anya is possessed through Geass which shocks Suzaku. Possessed Anya explains that right now she’s Marianne and that Lelouch has been a very naughty boy. She continues that Charles is trying to do something amazing and that Lelouch opposes him because he doesn’t understand, that’s why they’re all going to go see them both!

Aim appears and finds it amusing that Zero has become so bold and desires death so much. Lelouch demands to know who’s there, Aim reveals himself and is very amused over what is happening since he’s the master of deceit. Charles asks what Aim is doing here at this stage, does Aim now doubt how things will come to pass? Not at all, Aim is only here because he sees no reason not to be here and this reunion has been most touching. Lelouch deduces that Charles and Aim have been working together all along for some time.

Charles doesn’t deny it and tells Lelouch that he knows nothing. Aim fills Lelouch in on what Charles is trying to accomplish(And what he’s been up to) and that they’ve had a very close partnership for some time now. So really Lelouch is way over his head and there’s literally nothing he can do about this situation. Aim also spends this time to taunt Lelouch for knowing nothing and the lies that Lelouch has woven. However, Aim isn’t here to play games and after trolling Lelouch some more he decides to take his leave. Lelouch demands that Aim return but Charles reminds him of his situation, besides Aim is no longer relevant.

Marianne appears and says that it has been a long time since she has last seen Lelouch, he sure has grown. Charles says that she’s late and Lelouch demands to know what the hell is going on! Hows is his supposedly dead mother now alive?

Marianne scolds Lelouch and tells him not to raise his voice at his father. Charles tells Lelouch that everything is as he has said. Lelouch deduces that V.V. may be the reason behind all this which Charles says he played a part. As Charles explains what really happened Marianne says that she made a pact with C.C. and that V.V. was jealous of her relationship with Charles. Charles says that he didn’t kill Marianne with Marianne saying that V.V. tricked her and had her killed. Charles is innocent.

As she lay dying she used her Geass on Anya so that she could live on through her. Marianne goes on to explain the relationship V.V. had with Charles and her as well as the pacts made long ago. V.V. had said that Charles had changed and he wanted to meet her, as stated before it was a trick. She also goes on to explain the pact C.C. made with her. As well as how her Geass works. With that out of the way they needed both V.V. and C.C.’s code to bring about their desired world.

Lelouch snaps and says that they’re just blaming V.V. because he’s dead and can’t defend himself! What about Nunnally?! Why did she have to suffer! Charles doesn’t like his attitude but Lelouch insists. Marianne questions where he got such an attitude and he’s being bad. Charles explains that he needed to cover up what happened so he had Nunnally used as a fake witnesses of a “Terrorist Attack” and erased hers and Anya’s memories.

Lelouch can’t believe they would do that to Nunnally, she was innocent! They say that it had to be done and now they’ll create a new world with the Sword of Akasha. So Nunnally had to suffer so that this could happen, however all that’s left is for C.C. to give up her code. It’s a fact that C.C. participated in this plan from the start and has been in communication with Marianne. This hits Lelouch hard as he breaks down and thinks that Nunnally’s suffering was pointless and that he was just a pawn.

it’s an event similar the the End of Evangelion, except with no Giant Rei.

As they slowly fade from existence, Marianne begs for Lelouch to stop, they can still make a world that Nunnally desires and they’re his parents! Lelouch says that they choose to be his parents now? Do they even know the meaning behind Nunnally’s smile? Marianne has no idea what he means which angers Lelouch! How can a parent not know the meaning of their child’s smile?! Nunnally’s smile was her way of expressing gratitude for others even though she couldn’t do many things on her own!

Lelouch says that the only truth in all this is that Charles and Marianne are the worst parents ever and that they abandoned them! Nunnally has suffered because of them! She can never walk, she can never see, and she can never live a normal life because of their selfishness! Charles tries to say that wasn’t the case but Lelouch says that it’s a fact, they abandoned them and nothing they say changes that Nunnally suffered because of their actions and inaction!

Charles tries to strangle Lelouch as a last ditch effort. As he’s doing this he tells Lelouch that he ruined everything and that what awaits them is Schneziel’s world! They desired peace, yet he would deny them! Lelouch says that yes, he denies the selfish world they tried to create and he wants them out of his sight! Charles and Marianne die in dramatic fashion. With them gone Lelouch can rest easy that Charles is no more.

C.C. wonders what will happen now and that Charles is indeed gone. Suzaku takes this moment to say that Euphiemia’s murderer is here – Lelouch. Lelouch says that Lelouch is dead, there’s only Zero now. Suzaku says that doesn’t excuse his crimes. Lelouch admits that he killed Euphiemia and will shoulder the worlds burdens as repentance. He says that he has fought to liberate Japan and that ZEXIS has put their faith in him and they will hold him to paying off his debt.

Suzaku asks what Lelouch plans to do , Lelouch says that he will make a world that Nunnally would have wanted to live in. Suzaku asks why he should just let Lelouch do as he pleases with Lelouch saying that he doesn’t have to do anything and if he wants to punish him then so be it. Suzaku considers doing just that but Lelouch says that he wants to at least try and make Nunnally’s world a reality before facing judgement.

After all, wasn’t it Suzaku that said that he should atone for his sins before dying? Suzaku says that Lelouch is twisting his words which Lelouch says now Suzaku is being the fool! This is what he wanted, right?! He’s going to pay for his sins and make a world where tragedies like what happened to Euphiemia wont ever happen again. And what of Area 11?! He swore to liberate them and create a world where they can be Japanese once more! Suzaku isn’t backing down despite Lelouch trying his best to create a better world for everyone! Suzaku and Lelouch then do the whole “KIRA!” and “ASLAN!” routine as they proceed to punch each other out.

Later Zero exits the cave with Suzaku, he’s wearing his mask to cover up his bruises while Suzaku appears unharmed. Kallen asks if Zero is alright and is surprised he’s with Suzaku. Zero says that it’s all over now. Kallen doesn’t understand what he means. It’s simple, Zero had Charles killed and he’ll bother no one anymore. Ohgi can’t believe the Emperor is dead but Lelouch says it’s true, Charles is dead. Tamaki says that they’ve been waiting for him and that Schneziel is starting up a real ruckus.

Zero asks C.C. what this could mean. C.C. explains repeats what Charles said about Schneziel’s world and that things are far from over. Whatever the case everyone is about to find out the truth soon enough. Back aboard his flagship Zero demands to know what’s going on. Turns out Scneziel has joined up with Trieze and has caused everyone a lot of trouble. However, taking advantage of this situation is White Fang. Zero says that he wants to deal with this immediately with Tamaki saying that they’ll follow him, it’s the least they can do. Zero asks Suzaku what Schneziel is plotting but Suzaku says that he doesn’t have to tell him anything.

Kallen tells Suzaku to stop being an idiot already! Lives are at stake here and didn’t he already work out his issues! Suzaku isn’t persuaded, why should he forgive? Toudou tries to talk sense into him but Suzaku is resistant. Toudou informs Zero that the situation is pretty grave. Ohgi doesn’t want to leave Japan but he knows that they eventually must. Kallen says that there’s something on the TV which catches Zero and Suzaku off guard when they learn who it is.

Trieze declares his stance on how things have turned out and that he and Britannia have decided to ally with Millardo/White Fang. Millardo uses what happened at Japan as an example for why they have joined together. Basically he gives a speech that he will oppose this world and remake it into one he desires.

After his long speech Relena can’t believe what she has heard. Millardo really has changed and is her enemy who pretty much called her out. Marida tries to comfort a depressed Relena but fails. Gaioh than approaches the girls and wonders what they’ll do now. Sheryl demands to know what he’s doing here and what the heck does he want! Gaioh isn’t here to kill them and instead desires to talk…
