That's you, isn't it, Big Brother? It's me, Nunnally!
If your memories really haven't returned, you shouldn't recognize Nunnally.
Go on, Lelouch. Answer her!
Suzaku... You've really gone and done it!
Um... Is this not my big brother?
It's no use! I can't lie to Nunnally!
I... I!!!
Rolo?
Good work! Keep it going!
Don't forget about the time limit.
I understand! Nunnally, listen to me!
Big Brother! I knew it!
I have to act like we're strangers right now!
It's necessary! Just follow my lead!
I swear, I'll come and get you! I swear it! So, until then...
Until then...
I love you, Nunnally!
Um, I'm afraid you have me confused with someone else.
That's right, I'm just an ordinary student.
Lelouch... Have your memories really not come back?
Yes. I beg your pardon.
Forgive me. When I heard it was a good friend of Suzaku's,
I just jumped to conclusions.
It's just... I...
No, please. It's an honor to speak with a royal princess!
Um, could you please put Suzaku back on?
Yes, Your Highness.
Forgive me, Nunnally. I didn't mean to cause a misunderstanding.
No, it's all right. He just seemed so similar to him that it surprised me.
Holy Britannian Empire CALIFORNIA BASE No, it's all right. He just seemed so similar to him that it surprised me.
Holy Britannian Empire CALIFORNIA BASE Well, um... I'll see you when I get to Area 11.
Holy Britannian Empire CALIFORNIA BASE
Don't make light of this. Whatever his disadvantages are, we're dealing with Zero!
He's sure to have some scheme in the works!
Such timid words! Not what I'd expect...
from the man called the Spearhead of the Empire!
Viceroy Nunnally shall have me with her. There will be no need for you.
But, what about Zero?
Lord Guilford!
Zero is already dead! The Zero we face now has just appropriated his name!
Don't you think Princess Cornelia would find your fear of an imposter inexcusable?!
Excuuuse me!
Earl Lloyd!
Adjusting the Lancelot's unit took a long time! Sorry we're late.
It's been a while, Dr. Lloyd.
No prob! We've been under Charlie's direct service, after all.
How DARE you refer to his Imperial Majesty in such a way!
F- Forgive him, sir! Lloyd!
Did I say something wrong?
I see you haven't changed. So, as for that item?
Yes. It came via Prince Schneizel's line.
Nice, having the second prince to call.
I appreciate it.
For heaven's sake!
With this good-for-nothing nobleman working as Sir Kururugi's guardian,
his wantonness will just rub off on the new viceroy!
I was wondering if Suzaku has been lying to me.
But now Big Brother, too?
Has something happened between them?

SURPRISE ATTACK OVER THE PACIFIC
The new viceroy is set to arrive here in Area 11 tomorrow to take up her new post.
The name and personal history of the new viceroy has yet to be released.
The big question in all this is the Chinese Federation consulate.
In regard to! Ero, you mean?
As there has been no formal announcement,
some are questioning whether Consul General Gao Hai is acting on his own.
The consul general's domestic standing is caught in the power balance of...
Chinese Federation Capital City LUOYANG
How go things in Area 11?
Chinese Federation Capital City LUOYANG
I'm not sure. Even I don't know all the details.
What goes on in the outside world? I've never set foot outside of this palace.
Your Majesty, Luoyang...
Indeed, the Vermilion Forbidden City itself, is the center of the entire world!
But...
Well then, I shall go out and see what is happening.
The truth is, I came today to say goodbye.
Oh, no! Not after you and I have become friends!
I beg your pardon, but my husband is waiting for me.
Receipt of the supplies in Niigata was apparently successful.
I see.
However, there's no way for them to return here to the consulate.
As I'd expect.
The new viceroy is going to be Nunnally.
Will you be able to fight her? Your own sister?
Fight? With Nunnally? What sort of joke is that?
Then you're going to leave her alone?
Out of the question.
If nothing is done, Nunnally will be used as a political tool, like we used to be!
A blind, crippled young girl...
Do they plan to use her as a pawn and then throw her away?
I'm doing all this to keep that from happening!
That's why I formed the Black Knights!
I became Zero for Nunnally's sake!
I know that is your reason for living. However...
I am going to create a world in which Nunnally can live happily!
And for that, I will destroy Britannia as well!
Is that V.V. Person you mentioned in the Britannian homeland?
I don't know that much.
However, I do know that he was the first comrade your father,
Emperor Charles of Britannia, ever knew.
"Comrade?"
Once, they made a vow to each other.
God shall die!
That is our contract.
Tell me, Charles, why did you not tell Nunnally?
About Zero's true identity. And about Geass.
It wasn't necessary for her to know.
Charles... You're still such a child.
I suppose I am... big brother.
Where is Viceroy Nunnally?
In the garden. Even if she came to the bridge...
It'd make no difference.
Area 11 - TOKYO SETTLEMENT
They're not here?! The Black Knights?!
Area 11 - TOKYO SETTLEMENT Yes. We only just confirmed it ourselves. You know as much about it as we do.
Now you should see that my country has no hostile intentions against Britannia.
And Zero went with them?!
It appears so. They vanished along with their Knightmares.
It looks like they left via an underground level.
To where?
Who knows? That's all I have.
They wouldn't! Attack Nunnally?!
We've been had.
Shall we... pay them back?
The Black Knights!
The objective of this operation is the capture of the new viceroy!
No matter what happens, she absolutely must not be harmed!
Is that clear?! Absolutely no harm!
Wilco!
What are you doing, Tamaki?!
Amateurs! Even if you bring those ground combat units into the sky, you won't...
Even deploying surface flares won't matter to us! Surround them!
General Tohdoh, the rest is up to you.
Right. Good luck to your people, Deputy-Commander.
Impossible! They're landing on top of us?!
Two enemy Knightmares have already landed on our main wing!
They're on our escorts as well! Send our air forces to...
You fool of a commander...
I already anticipated that you'd concentrate your air power on the smoke.
The flagship's all we're after.
All right! We're withdrawing!
Send out our remaining air combat units!
Have our escort ships open fire as well!
But sir, the enemy are targeting our float units!
We can't target them because we have our shields deployed!
And what are we supposed to do if we can't defend this ship?!
If I'd known this would happen, I would have brought Lord Guilford with us!
It'll take at least an hour before reinforcements from the Tokyo settlement reach us!
What if the enemy Knightmares get inside?
Then we crash. Anyway, our job right now is to help any survivors.
Wha? Is that?
Die!
Sure.
Understood, sir.
Nunnally... I'm coming to save you.
My secret technique...
The surprise leap between floating ships!
You may have your shields buttoned up, but they're useless if we get inside!
Looks like their air forces are finished, too.
Don't let arrogance be your downfall.
Right, right. I'll stick to the fundamentals.
Reinforcements from Tokyo? But it's too soon!
No, it looks like their rear guard.
Besides that... They have float units?
Knightmares!
It can't be... That machine is!
Now then... Let us bring down the curtain on this.
Output on all units is nominal.
Don't you love the marvel of mass-production?
Are you really okay with this? You charged the expense to Prince Schneizel.
So what? He hasn't noticed yet.
What?! You mean you didn't tell him first?!
Even if we can't fly!
You have good instincts... But your machine's outclassed!
Sorry! See you later!
Damn your impudence, Guilford!
But we're saved, My Lord!
For which he will get all the credit!
All conditions have been cleared.
And now, the tide of battle shall be turned!
N-Nunnally...
Hey! Zero's inside the ship!
What are those guards doing?!
Viceroy Nunnally, it's Zero!
I'm informing General Upson right now...
Their reunion must not be disturbed.
N-Nunnally...
At last, we're together again. At last...
That's you there, Zero, isn't it? Have you come to kill me as well?
Like you did my brother Clovis and sister Euphy?
Even so, will you wait just a moment, please?
I think... I think what you're doing is wrong!
His harken!
Kouzuki, now!
Yes, sir!
Okay, it's punishment time!
Weird-looking fighter plane. Even so!
A Knightmare?!
Sorry! It's up to you guys, now!
That just leaves four enemy units.
The Knights of the Round as well?! I'll never bear this disgrace...
Now what?!
Starboard escort ship has lost control!
It's on a collision course!
Change course!
We'll never make it! We're going to collide!
As usual, you have Mordred do his thing.
Anya, don't use that anymore, okay? We don't want to kill the viceroy, do we?
After I saved her...
Lloyd! What's the Lancelot's status?!
Ready and waiting for you! Hurry on over!
General! What do you think you're doing?!
At this rate, I'm going to be demoted!
I have to perform some deed by my own hand!
Destroy the Black Knights!
Fool! You'd shoot your own engines?!
! ero is standing in front of me right now.
Big brother... Give me the courage I need!
It's Britannia who is wrong. The emperor only values strength.
Do you also approve of that?
Well...
Viceroy Nunnally... You're just being used.
You're saying they sent a blind, crippled girl to win everyone's sympathy? You're wrong.
I came because I wanted to.
What's Zero's status?
E.C.C.M. Effects are preventing contact with him.
I want to rendezvous with Chiba and Kouzuki in the aft section and scout inside the ship.
But this ship's going to crash. Do you have time-
Senba!
I don't like picking on those who are weaker than me, but...
Never thought... it'd be in a place like this!
SENBA!
Tohdoh! It's not like you to launch an ambush in ground combat weaponry!
You wanted to?
I think I can make the world a more peaceful and gentle place.
That's why I'm going to carry on Euphy's will and recreate the Specially Administrated Zone of Nippon.
You're bringing that back?!
Zero... Won't you help me to make it happen?
If you're human, you'd try it again!
! ero's come to steal Nunnally away.
But there's been no word from the O.S.I.
So, am I fighting ! ero or Lelouch?
Sir Kururugi, I'm going to confirm the situation.
The #2 float unit on the vessel carrying Viceroy Nunnally has shut down.
The #3 and #4 float units are interlinked, so a case theta has occurred.
Long story short, everyone's going to end up taking a swim.
Except for General Upson, who's been reported K.I.A.
Right now, rescuing the viceroy has top priority!
Initiating search for her wheelchair beacon.
Starting E.C.M. Signal noise cleanup!
Phase, preset. Transmitting interior schematic of lead ship.
Data link, confirmed.
Complete.
Transmit the viceroy's location as soon as it's confirmed.
Channel M.B., roger!
Lancelot Conquista... take off!
Taking off!
Kallen, I have to save Nunnally.
I won't ask you to forgive me any more!
Kouzuki, hide! Get inside the ship!
But! Not until everyone's gotten away!
Impossible!
KOUZUKI!
Pull the ejection lever, Kouzuki!
No use! It won't work!
Lousy maintenance?! Now, of all times!
Hide and seek is over now.
I'm falling! Forgive me, Guren...
Mother... Big brother...
Well, aren't you in the best position.
Wha? Rakshata?
Sorry for the wait. I have the Black Knights' special flight wing pack for you.
You reviewed the manual I sent, right?
Uh... Yeah! I'll be fine!
All right, then let's try it out for real!
We'll give you the basic guidance from here.
Please go and rescue Master! Ero.
R-Right!
Opening number 3 vertical launch chamber.
Connection signal with Guren Mk-II, confirmed.
Take to the skies, my flight wings!
Turn around!
Guidance signal, confirmed.
Alignment angle, nominal.
Link up.
Linking up!
FLY!!!
Continue! Armor piercing ordnance right arm unit!
Right arm unit dropping speed for linkup.
Transmission neuron 0.5 to 0.8 M.M.P.
No blockage detected.
Elastic muscles 1 through 5 are operating normally.
Confirm activation of shock control. Linking up.
Kallen, please!
No matter what the enemy throws at me!
Our unit will go after Tohdoh!
Right, and we'll go after the viceroy.
In the sky? The Black Knights have float units, too?
Kouzuki! Save! Ero!
I'll try, sir!
Oh? You have both flight and a shield, eh? Even so...
If this new Guren can't handle them, it's all over!
Still, you don't have much choice, so why not try shooting?
You've got a point, there!
F- From long range?!
I can do it! With this Guren Flight-Enabled Version!
Hm...
Suzaku, get to the viceroy!
Don't let your guard down! That pilot was able to beat Lord Jeremiah!
That Orange guy, huh?
You!
Whoa! Is she as good as the Rounds?
Still... Let her beat this.
Don't underestimate the Guren!
With its shoes?
I'll take care of you guys later!
It can do wide-range, too?!
What's its total energy?!
It was just scattered.
But she damaged those units enough that I doubt they'll be able to move for a while.
Just what is that Knightmare?
No, it's the pilot.
I shouldn't have held back.
Kallen... You're coming back, in this situation?
Could Zero be inside the ship?!
OUT OF MY WAY!!!
Have a taste of the Gefjun Net!
We have a countermeasure for this!
Even so, you're still stuck where you are!
Impossible! I thought they upgraded my Yggdrasil Drive!
Suzaku!
We've located the viceroy! She's in the garden space to the rear of the main bridge!
But you only have 47 seconds till the ship crashes!
I promise, I'll save her!
Damn!
Kallen! Forget about Suzaku!
Save Master! Ero!
I know, but where is he?!
There's no time left. I'll have to use the Core Luminous Cone.
Go!
What do I do? I can't reveal! Ero's true identity to her.
But taking her by force may end up twisting her mind!
Suzaku!
Escape with me!
Nunnally!
SUZAKU!!!
No! He's the one who sold me out to the emperor!
Suzaku!
Were you afraid? Forgive me! It's all right now!
Nunnally... With Suzaku!
Zero! Right now...
NUNNALLY!!!
Someday let's try to pick up and rebuild Mune no naka itsuka hirotta
The fragments of happiness in our hearts Shiawase no kakera atsumete miyou
That nearly forgotten melody Wasurekaketeita melody
Stay vivid, deep inside of me Iroasezu boku no man'naka ni
I thank you from the bottom of my heart Arigatou kokoro kara
Everything I have now, I owe to everyone Boku ni ima ga aru no wa minna no okagesa
I thank you from the bottom of my heart Arigatou kokoro kara
Next I'll send happiness to everyone Tsugi wa boku ga minna ni happy okuru yo
I won't forget anything Nanimokamo wasurenai yo
Because I'm still the same as I was that day Ano hi no boku mo boku dakara
You need me to keep on saying Daisuki da yo'tte itsumo
How much I love you Itte agenakya dame da ne
On those long nights, your tears about to overflow Namida ga kobore sou na nagai yoru wa
Just turn around Futto furikaette
Follow those footprints Ashiato wo tadorun'da
So that you'll never forget that day Ano hi wo wasurenai you ni
Ever since my mother was killed eight years ago,
ever since I was abandoned by Britannia,
protecting Nunnally has meant everything to me.
Taking care of her room, preparing her food, everything.
But... I was a fool!
Nunnally has dreams of her own.
There is a path Nunnally has chosen for herself.
That fact is so obvious. It's so simple.
Yes... I must!
THE ABANDONED MASK
