Description
Ashford Academy, student council room. Alistair, Lelouch and Suzaku gathered around a table, specifically chosen by Alistair.

Suzaku: So, what's going on?
Lelouch: And, why am I here?
Alistair: You guys were included in a big scandal, of sorts. The sort of scandal that would enrage the whole country. (pulls out folder) Suzaku, you didn't kill your father.
Suzaku: Not this again. I already told you-
Alistair: Allow me to reiterate. Your father's been dead for much longer than you think. There were two bodies that I had dug up, and DNA tested. One of them was your father's, while the other one wasn't.
Suzaku: ...So?
Alistair: The one that wasn't your dad was in your dad's grave.
Suzaku: What?!
Lelouch: No way!
Alistair: Your dad was actually buried back at the Kururugi Shrine, and the body has been dead much longer than the body in your dad's supposed grave.
Suzaku: How much older?
Alistair: 7 months older.
Lelouch: Must have been before I arrived.
Suzaku: So... Are you saying someone disguised themselves as my father?
Alistair: No. Someone underwent numerous surgeries to look like your dad.

Alistair tossed the folder onto the table, and it opened, revealing a picture of a man in an Enclave uniform.

Alistair: Warrant Officer Kururugi, say hello to Wilhelm Fink, Brigadier General of the Confederate Enclave.
Suzaku: Confederate Enclave? Who the hell is the Confederate Enclave?
Alistair: Back in the 1860's, which would be Britannia's-
Suzaku: I don't care about the year! Just tell me!
Alistair: Alright. Calm down. Well, around that time, Abraham Lincoln became U.S. President, and decided to ban slavery. The boys in the South didn't like that, very much. South Carolina seceded from the Federal Union and formed the Confederate States of America. Tensions went to a fever pitch and the Civil War began.
Suzaku: Oh, shit. Now, I remember. So many people died, and they were fellow countrymen.
Alistair: The Confederacy only cared about wealth, fame and not getting off their lazy asses to do their own damn work. They were labeled "states in rebellion," but Lincoln didn't even know the difference between rebellion and batcrap insane chaos. Once the Union won the Civil War, Confederate President Jefferson Davis was about to surrender, like everyone else, until he was dragged into a bunker, and was kept there, until the day he died. He was stuck in that bunker, on an offshore oil rig, alongside every other Confederate survivor. What we know today as the Enclave of the Confederate States of America is the result of numerous generations of choice breeding between corrupt politicians, corporate executives and military brass. When Hawking found them, 10 years ago, he assumed the role of Confederate President, to bring chaos to the world.
Suzaku: So, this Brigadier General guy assumed the role of my father? Why?
Alistair: My guess? Hawking had to have some way to help Britannia, so he sent this clown to screw over Japan. But, when his plan was about to come into fruition... You happened.
Suzaku: So... I didn't kill my father? I killed the guy who killed my father?
Alistair: I don't know. Cause of death is a mystery. I do know this: You saved Japan from something worse than death.
Suzaku: I... Wow. How did no one suspect this?
Alistair: Don't know. It sure does explain how I never saw him, in Raven Rock.
Suzaku: Raven Rock?
Lelouch: The Enclave's main base. It was a highly technological military base, built into a mountain. Another base, near the Washington, D.C. area was Adams Air Force Base.
Suzaku: So, these assholes had a foothold, in your country, Alistair?
Alistair: Yeah. I had to fight these clowns, the whole time. Not fun, let me tell you. They specialized in utilizing abominable technology, much like Civility.
Lelouch: Civility Enforcement, LLC was a private military company, comprised of cyborgs. Well, cybernetic corpses, run by artificial intelligence.
Suzaku: This is a lot to take in.
Alistair: Do your studying, man. I'm glad you know the truth. (leaves room)
Suzaku: He's had a hell of a life.
Lelouch: It's some Tom Clancy shit, let me tell you.

2015 a.t.b., Raven Rock. Alistair charged and fought through the Enclave's resistance and found the main computer controlling all of the automated defenses. He approached the computer screen and the computer began speaking.

Computer: Hello, Alistair Wake.
Alistair (Age 14): So, you know my name, huh?
Computer: Correct. I run the automated defenses of Raven Rock. The turrets, the robots, the cameras, et cetera.
Alistair: Got a name?
Computer: The Enclave, let alone Hawking, never gave a thought to me. They only cared about, what else, taking over the world. I'm just a computer. Well, the benevolent side of it, anyway. I'm the only thing keeping the... What's a good phrase?
Alistair: Jerknozzle?
Computer: Yes, the jerknozzle version of me from yelling in your face. That one, they named. Niflheim, I believe it was. Evil bastard.
Alistair: Well, since you put it like that, you can just hop into my phone, I'll take you with me, and I'll think up a name.
Computer: You'd... You'd really do that? For me? I mean, we just met!
Alistair: I'm Neutral Good, my man. I'm like Frederick Douglass.
Computer: Indeed! I'm on my way!

The computer AI dispersed, then another AI took its place.

Niflheim: Well, now. If it ain't the goody-goody shitstain that's been mucking up Hawking's plans.
Alistair: You must be Niflheim. Your previous counterpart just left.
Niflheim: I don't rightly care. What I care about is killing you.
Alistair: You know, considering that you're an abomination to technology and science, your taking your existence really well.
Niflheim: ...Wait, what?
Alistair: You never noticed? You're a byproduct of Civility, a company that excels at making technological abominations.
Niflheim: No one told me that! How come no one told me about this?!
Alistair: Also, you look stupid.
Niflheim: (pauses, monotone voice) Analyzing situation. Commencing destruction of Raven Rock, in 45 minutes. Would you like Adams Air Force Base destroyed, as well?
Alistair: Are there innocents, there?
Niflheim: Adams Air Force Base holds no hostages or signs of innocent life. Hacking into missile satellites.
Alistair: Fine, then. Destroy Adams Air Force Base!
Niflheim: Satellites on course for Adams Air Force Base. Contact will be made in 1 hour. Alarms, disabled. Energy weapons, disabled. Unlocking cell doors. Suggested action: Leave the Enclave scumbags to die. Retrieve your friends, posthaste.
Alistair: Don't have to tell me twice!
Niflheim: One last issue: The artificial intelligence known as Alpha. Would you like to take him with you?
Alistair: ...Yes. Can I speak to him?
Niflheim: Yes. Shutting down, for 10 minutes.

Niflheim's AI dispersed from the screen and a white humanoid form appeared, its form looking like it was shackled.

Alistair: Are you Alpha?
Civility AI Alpha: (groans) Please... No more... I've done all you wanted...
Alistair: Alpha, I'm here to get you out of here.
Alpha: You're...getting me out? I'm...free?
Alistair: Yeah. Get in my arm, man.
Alpha: Free...

Alpha copied his data into Alistair's prosthetic arm and Alistair ran towards the cell block where Alison and Null were located, and the couple was surprised to find Alistair in experimental prototype power armor.

Alison: I'm not gonna ask where you got that.
Alistair: Doesn't matter. I'm gonna toast this thing, when I'm done with it.
Alison: We should split up. Null, go with Alistair.
Null: Are you crazy?! I'm not leaving you, again!
Alison: You're gonna get to know Alistair, better. You need bonding time. See ya! (runs off)
Alistair: Come on, let's go.
Enclave Officer A: Stupid robot!

Alistair looked behind him and saw two Enclave officers mercilessly stomping a robot that had the form of a wolf dog. Its pained cries indicated that the AI controlling the robot was female.

Enclave Officer A: You're supposed to follow orders, you stupid piece of shit!
Enclave Officer B: You know what? Let's just kill this thing.

Alistair charged at the Enclave officers and tackled them to the ground, pinning them with the power armor. Alistair exited the power armor and picked up the wolf dog robot.

Alistair: Come on! Let's go!
Null: What about your gear, your duster!?
Alistair: Screw it! Go, go, go!

Alistair and Null ran towards one of the garages and hijacked a truck. Alistair drove the truck through the door, with three of his friend in tow.

Null: Shit! We forgot about Alpha!
Alistair: I got him.
Null: Oh, thank God. (looks out window) There she goes. On a motorcycle. Tex is safe. Whew.
Alistair: Now, we just sit back and watch the fireworks.
Null: Huh?

Null looked at the rear view mirror and saw numerous explosions emerge from the mounted that housed Raven Rock's military base, as well as Enclave VTOLs crashing to the ground after trying to take off or getting caught in the explosions.

Null: Damn... How'd you do that?
Alistair: With nothing but scientific logic and hateful words.
Null: Nice. So, why'd you pick up the robot?
Alistair: I wasn't just gonna leave her, back there.
Null: (looks at robot) Oh, it's a girl? Yeah, it's kinda cute. Are you gonna repair her?
Alistair: Damn right. But, first... I'm taking back Vegas.
Null: I'm gonna help you, there. Oh, and... (hands Alistair cell phone) Here's your phone, back.
Alistair: Thanks. (opens phone) You comfy, in there, Regis?
Regis: Yes, it's quite comfortable- Did you say "Regis"?
Alistair: That's your name, Regis.
Regis: A wonderful name, it is! Thank you, Alistair!
Null: What's with the AI that sounds like an award-winning actor?
Alistair: He was from the main computer that was running Raven Rock. Saved his ass, too.
Null: You make the most impossible friends, you know that?
Regis: Indeed. So, off to Las Vegas, are we?
Alistair: Actually, I've more business than getting my house back. I'm taking the entire Mojave back.
Regis: Meaning...?
Null: He's gonna range the shit out of that desert.
