Description
Specially Administrated Zone of Japan, 3:47 p.m. Alistair exited the S-850, and looked down the hill, seeing the wrecked prototype weapon called "Siegfried". Immediately, the Gawain landed near the Siegfried prototype, and Zero exited the Knightmare.

Alistair: Well, time to fix some things.

Zero walked towards Euphemia, who exited the Siegfried prototype, and was looking for a gun.

Euphemia: Oh, there you are! I wanted to talk to you about my ideas for the Specially Administrated Zone of Japan. Wait, huh?
Zero: That's exactly right.
Euphemia: That doesn't seem... (screams in pain, holds head)

Zero looked behind him and saw Alistair running towards his location, stopping in front of Euphemia.

Alistair: Made it.
Zero: Good. 'Cause, I'm gonna need all the help I can get. She got hit with an ancient Celtic magic, she's not acting like herself.
Alistair: Oh, you know about Geass, huh? That's neat.
Zero: How do you know?!
Alistair: (looks at Zero, activates Geass) Speech is one of my best traits, you see. (looks at Euphemia) Now, for a heart-to-heart. Euphy.
Euphemia: (looks at Alistair)
Alistair: Whatever command was behind the one who Geass'd you...forget about it.
Euphemia: N-No...
Alistair: If your free will ain't in check, then you're not exactly living. I implore you to live by your own standards, by your own dreams and hopes. I implore you...to kick that Geass command's ass.

As Zero witnessed Alistair's Geass in action, he heard the familiar sound of Geass in progress getting louder and louder, when a sudden sound of glass breaking rang out, and Euphemia collapsed into Alistair's arms.

Zero: It...worked?
Alistair: Looks like it.

Euphemia woke up and stumbled towards Zero, holding on to his cape for support.

Euphemia: (whispering) When you see Minnesota, again...do this, for me...

Euphemia whispered something into Zero's ear, then stumbled back to Alistair, collapsing again.

Zero: You really are a hero. I've always believed that the world was a place for heroes.
Alistair: There's always hope for the future.

When the Lancelot arrived at Alistair and Zero's location, Suzaku saw Euphemia in Alistair's arms, and mistook her for being dead.

Suzaku: (Lancelot charges towards Alistair) Alistair!
Alistair: Of course, he'd make a mistake!
Zero: Can't you just kick him away!?
Alistair: Turns out that was a one time use thing, that I neither asked for nor knew about!
Zero: Shit!

The Gawain fired its Hadron cannons at the Lancelot, causing it to back off.

Alistair: Wait, it accommodates two?!
Zero: Never mind about that! You need to get the hell out of here! (enters Gawain) I'll hold him off!
Alistair: Dammit! How the hell am I gonna-!?
Kanda: Alistair! (stops in front of Alistair, panting)
Alistair: Kanda?! What are you doing, here?!
Kanda: I was in the crowd, when this shit went down!
Alistair: Here I thought I was the only one. Hey, can you get that thing to fly?
Kanda: (looks at Siegfried prototype) I can sure as hell try!

Alistair and Kanda entered the Siegfried prototype, and Alistair laid Euphemia against one of the walls, covering her with his jacket.

Kanda: Never seen anything like this. Good thing it came with a manual. Huh. This chair has all the controls-? Yep, we're flying!

As soon as the Siegfried prototype began hovering, Euphemia woke up, again, and climbed towards the top.

Alistair: Euphy!

The Lancelot looked past the Gawain and saw the Siegfried prototype escaping.

Suzaku: (enraged) Alistair! Explain yourself!

The Lancelot pushed the Gawain aside and grabbed onto the Siegfried prototype, as it started to gain speed. When the Lancelot was about to punch a hole into its target, Suzaku saw Euphemia open a hatch on the top, and look at the Lancelot, panting. Suzaku saw the determined look in her eyes, despite having no energy to even stay awake, and Suzaku was glad that she was alive. The Lancelot gave Euphemia a thumbs up, and pushed the Siegfried prototype away from the area, then let go.

Suzaku: She's...fine... God, being tazed sucks. Better...head back.

Meanwhile, the Guren looked at the Civility airship, without a way to destroy it, when Tamaki's Burai and Tohdoh's Gekka joined it, the Nobunaga and Barbatos reuniting, as well.

Tamaki: God, this guy's nuts!
Tohdoh: Same with that asshole.
Nanbu: Aww. You tired? Too bad, 'cause Minnesota's on her way down.

Immediately, a large automaton launched from the Civility airship, and landed in front of the Black Knights' Knightmares. It was large, held a large axe, and Minnesota was connected to it, with wires.

Agent Minnesota: Well, well. You're still alive. Does this mean you wanna bow down to me?
Kallen: How about I kill you, for screwing with Euphemia's head!?
Agent Minnesota: Oh, the Chaotic Good types. Always a nuisance. Nanbu, Kane! Kill your respective opponents!
Nanbu: Can do!
Tohdoh: Nanbu! (Gekka chases after Nobunaga)
Tamaki: Sorry, Kallen! I gotta make sure this guy doesn't get in your way! (Burai chases after Barbatos)
Agent Minnesota: Been a while, since I've been part of a catfight. Can't wait to show you what my pride's made of.
Kallen: So, you're Minnesota. What I've been told was true. You are an egotistical bitch.
Agent Minnesota: Even someone like you would dare to call someone as superior as me a bitch!? You are so dead!
Kallen: What's with that clunky thing, anyway?
Agent Minnesota: This is the latest in Civility brand autonomous weapons: the Minotaur Mk. IV! Prepare to die!

The Minotaur dashed towards the Guren, and swung its axe at the Guren, to which the Guren dodged every swing and fired its Stinger revolver at Minnesota, herself, wounding her.

Kallen: You cyborgs are no joke. You just took that, like it was nothing! (Guren blocks axe with fork knife)
Agent Minnesota: Comes with the territory! Now, die!

The Guren pushed the Minotaur back and sliced the axe apart with its fork knife.

Kallen: Your little toy ain't exactly close to a Knightmare, bitch. How about you give up?
Agent Minnesota: (laughs) You think you've won!?

The Minotaur produced missile launchers, from its back and fired them all at the Guren. Before the missiles could connect, two Hadron beams destroyed all of them, causing no damage to the Guren. The Gawain hovered next to the Guren and looked at Minnesota.

Kallen: Zero!
Agent Minnesota: You just have to be a hero, don't you!? Why can't you just give up and kneel before me!?
Zero: Because, unlike you, I have hope for the future. Oh, and Euphemia's alive. She told me to do this.

The Gawain gave Minnesota two middle fingers, pointed both of the fingers at her, then launched the Slash Harkens, into both of Minnesota's shoulders. The Guren dashed forward as the protective casing around the Radiant Wave Surger was removing itself, and dug the Surger arm into the Minotaur, as soon as the Gawain's Harkens were removed, and the palm of the arm was right in Minnesota's face.

Kallen: You are terminated!

The Guren's Radiant Wave Surger effectively destroyed the Minotaur, as Minnesota screamed in pain, and the scream seemed distorted, but stopped as the Minotaur exploded. When the smoke cleared, both the Gawain and Guren saw a metal head fall to the ground, that resembled Minnesota.

Kallen: An android?!
Zero: So, she doesn't like doing things, herself. Bitch.
Kallen: She's on the ship!
Zero: Black Knights! Focus your fire on the Civility airship! Minnesota's not living another day!

Meanwhile, Tohdoh and Tamaki received Zero's transmission at the same time, and knew that they had to deal with their respective enemies, posthaste. With Tohdoh, Ohgi joined up and shot at the Nobunaga, with his Burai's heavy assault rifle, causing actual damage to it. The Nobunaga fled, as soon as Ohgi's Burai had arrived. With Tamaki, the Four Holy Swords' Gekkas overpowered the Barbatos' combat prowess, and caused it to flee. Tamaki's Burai pulled out its sniper rifle and began firing at the Civility airship, and the Gekkas did the same, with their wrist mounted guns. Ohgi's Burai handed Tohdoh's Gekka a missile launcher as it dual wielded two heavy assault rifles and the missile launchers mounted on the cockpit opened up.

Ohgi: (Burai opens fire on airship) How do you like me, now!?
Tohdoh: (pauses) I like you a lot, Ohgi! (Gekka fires missile launcher at airship) I like you a whole lot!

The Gawain fired its Hadron cannons at the airship, and with the combined firepower of the Black Knights aiding in the assault, the Civility aircraft exploded.

Zero: That... That was the most metal thing I've ever done.
Kallen: Yeah. That was pretty awesome.
Zero: I think I heard Ohgi screaming at the top of his lungs.
Kallen: What next?
Zero: Damage control. We need to shut down the riots, before they even start.

10 minutes ago, Special Zone stadium. Cornelia's Gloucester was helped up by Britannian reinforcements, and quickly repaired.

Cornelia: How's Euphy?
Britannian Officer: Alistair Wake captured her, alive. I'm sorry.
Cornelia: Good.
Britannian Officer: Huh?
Cornelia: That means I get to kill your ass.

Cornelia's Gloucester thrust its spear into the Sutherland that just helped her up, destroying it. Cornelia opened her cell phone and dialed Guilford's number.

Guilford: What is it?
Cornelia: Is our side project complete?
Guilford: You know it. The Knightmares look great, and the scientists have been erased.
Cornelia: Snitches get stitches, after all. How's the new uniform.
Guilford: Very American, so very cool. Not skin-tight, in the slightest. I can get used to this.
Cornelia: When I get there, I'll prepare for the delivery of my late birthday present, for my surrogate brother.

10 minutes later, the studio is packed with rioting Japanese citizens cheering for Zero as he took the stage.

Japanese Citizen A: Zero! You're our savior!
Japanese Citizen B: We'll never forgive that murderous witch!
Japanese Citizen C: Down with Princess Massacre!

After hearing nonstop insults about Euphemia, Zero could no longer hold back his true attitude.

Zero: Shut your god damn mouths!!

The yelling stopped as the Japanese audience looked shocked at Zero's outburst.

Zero: You stand here, yelling your heads off, without knowing a single fact. Which one of you assholes called Euphemia "Princess Massacre," huh!? (points to random citizen) Was it you!? (unknowingly looks at culprit) Or, you, with the stupid look on your face!? You don't have a damn clue, do you!? I was there! I was with her when this shit went down! Those who know of Samuel Hawking, raise your hand!

After a moment, Zero saw every single hand in the audience raise up, then put back down.

Zero: I thought so. Not many know what he did, after taking over America. One of those things was take part in creating a mercenary organization, comprised of cyborgs, Civility Enforcement, LLC. One of their top operatives forcibly manipulated Euphemia, making her do something that she never wanted to do. And, none of you noticed that she was acting differently!? Well, you better change right back out of that mindset you just had, because she's alive, and she'll keep living. Now, I have a question for all of you... Where are you standing, right now? (pauses) None of you get it? This is it. This is the Specially Administrated Zone of Japan! Free from the Emperor of Ego's control, Britannians and Japanese can coexist! And the hopes behind this zone are for it to expand to the entire continent, reverting it back to being Japan! This is the hope for the future, for humanity! And, if you idiots call me a savior, again, I'll personally place my boot to your ass! I'm a rebel! Get it right! Enjoy your freedom. 'Cause it's gonna get much, much bigger, from here.

Zero turned around and walked away, the crowd cheering immensely, after hearing such a resounding speech.

2016 a.t.b., Atlas base, Montana. Alistair, Alison and Null were inside Alistair's car, about to assault the Atlas military base, when a car similar to Alistair's drove up next to it, with Seth on top of the hatch.

Alistair (Age 15): Oh, you came along, too? Finally get to see you in action.
Alpha: Uh, what's the President of the United States doing here?
Null: Yeah, shouldn't he be at the White House?
Alistair: Oh, yeah, did I forget to mention that Seth was a gang leader?
Null: A what?!
Seth: How else does it explain the hot blood? Speaking of which... Hey, you state sec biatches! Which one of you wants some of the action president!? Alistair, you save those girls that are being used, against their wills! I'll handle them!
Alistair: You sure?
Seth: I'm gonna get some action, whether you like it or not!

As Seth took the fight to the Atlas soldiers, Alistair drove up to the entrance to the base, and exited the vehicle.

Alistair: I'll take it from here. You make sure not to wreck this thing.
Null: Hang on! I'm coming!
Alison: Fair enough. I'd rather get experience in driving, myself.
Null: (exits car) God, that thing is cool. And, you were right. Much better for urban areas.
Alison: (closes door) So... Is this the clutch? (car drives off) Crap!

Alistair and Null ran through the base, and came across an open area, stopping to see the cyborg girls blocking their path.

Alistair: I don't even know why those outfits even exist. Like, what the hell kind of spandex even is that?
Null: Yeah, it seems...a little tight.
Alistair: That's the sort of outfit you wear when you're gonna cheer up someone of your opposite gender, bedside or otherwise.
Null: True enough. You go on ahead, I'll take them.
Alistair: Don't kill them.
Null: Don't wanna kill them. There's tazers in these swords for a reason.
Cyborg Leader: Our directive is Alistair Wake.
Null: He doesn't like hitting girls. I don't like it, either, but I don't really have a choice, here.

Alistair ran past the cyborgs, and went up the stairs, into a corridor, filled with elite Atlas soldiers. Alistair gunned them down with his Desert Eagles, almost using up both clips. Alistair took a grenade launcher form one of the corpses and entered the control room. There was a large machine at the center of the room, and Alistair fired the grenade launcher at it, destroying it.

Meanwhile, Null was fighting off the cyborg girls when they suddenly stopped. They had returned to normal, and some were wondering about Alistair while the rest were suffering from different forms of PTSD. Alistair came down the stairs, and was greeted with a sudden hug.

Cyborg Leader: (crying) Alistair! I'm so glad you saved us! We owe you our lives!
Alistair: It's okay. You're safe.

2017 a.t.b., Ashford Academy. Nunnally was on the phone with Seth, as the sun was setting.

Seth: (over phone) So, I take a look at this old building, wondering how it's even still standing, while the cops didn't dare to go in.
Nunnally: Did you go in, alone?
Seth: You know me too well, Nunnally. I go in there, and I just shoot out quads, like no tomorrow, and boot the leader out the window! Fortunately, the cops anticipated it, and the boss landed on one of those big cushion things.
Nunnally: You make an amazing president, Seth.
Seth: Right?
Nunnally: Oh, hang on. Someone else is calling me.
Seth: Don't worry. Just call me back. I gotta figure out what that other story I wanted to tell you was. What was it...!?

As Seth hung up, Nunnally answered the other call.

Nunnally: Hello?
Lelouch: (over phone) Hey, Nunnally.
Nunnally: Lelouch! Are you okay?! What happened?!
Lelouch: Everything's okay. For now. Roads leading back to Tokyo are cut off, for now. The Renegades and Primebloods are out there, and they want blood.
Nunnally: Just stay safe, okay? Oh, what about Euphy?
Lelouch: Alistair's got her. She'll be safe.
Nunnally: Good. Listen, I need to talk to Seth, will you be alright?
Lelouch: Yeah. Wait, Seth? As in, Seth Kimball, the current President of the United States?
Nunnally: Bye, Lelouch!
Lelouch: Why are you talking with the President?!
Nunnally: (hangs up, calls Seth) Hi, Seth. I'm back.
Seth: (over phone) I just remembered that one time that I took on an entire army of Atlas' militaristic goons...

Meanwhile, at a Mavericks hideout, Alistair looked at Euphemia, who was sleeping peacefully on her bed, when Kanda entered the room.

Kanda: She's gonna be alright. Doctor said she's just exhausted.
Alistair: Yeah. Figured as much.

Alistair's phone rang, and he got up to answer it.

Alistair: Hello?
Woman: (over phone) This is Alistair Wake, right? My name is Serena, I need your help!
Alistair: Slow down. Serena, what kind of help do you need?
Serena: I'm at a warehouse in Ginza, being held against my will! Please, save me, before they find me!
Alistair: I'm on my way. Hold tight. (closes phone) Day ain't done, yet. (puts on hood) Gotta go.

20 minutes later, Alistair arrived at the area that Alistair was told about, and saw that it was surrounded with warehouses.

Alistair: Which one!? Shot in the dark.

Alistair entered a warehouse, and noticed that it looked more like a facility than a warehouse. As he was looking around, Alistair felt blade touch his back, followed by the clicking of a gun.

Cornelia: Off with the hood.
Alistair: Well, now. You've been upping your sneaking, huh? I'm impressed.
Cornelia: Off. With. The hood.
Alistair: Alright. (takes off hood) There. What next? Shake my ass?
Cornelia: Turn around.
Alistair: (turns around) Hey, at least we meet face-to-face.
Cornelia: I knew it. (tosses gun aside) I knew it was you. (hugs Alistair) I missed you so much, Alistair. My brother...
