Are you sure about this, Ohgi?
Yeah. I have a duty to get everyone to safety.
But!
No, I'm sorry I did this to you.
Bringing you all to a battlefield controlled by F.L.E.I.J.A.
Another F.L.E.I.J. A...
Twammi fleet, annihilated! Should the operation...
The operation will continue!
The Avalon will continue to fall back! Keep our distance from Damocles!
All units, attack in waves and force Damocles to continue launching F.L.E.I.J.A. S!
So easily, I... So easily...
Nunnally, we're ready to fire the next one.
R-Right...
At the end of the world Sekai no owari de
The light that's born Umareta hikari
Now blows in the wind Ima kaze no naka
Pretty words alone won't sustain you Kireigoto dake jaa ikirenai
Kindness alone won't heal you Yasashisa dake jaa iyasenai
What is it that was stolen from you Ubawareta nowa nanda
In this unchanging world Kawaranai sekai de
What is it that you hear Kikoetekita nowa nanda
A song of color Shikisai no uta
Everything is bright
Let our crumbled dreams resound Kudakechitta yume wo
At the edge of tomorrow Asu no hate ni hibikaseru you ni
At the end of the world Sekai no owari de
The light that's born Umareta hikari
Becomes one with us Bokura hitotsu ni
Now blows in the wind Ima kaze no naka
THE GRIP OF DAMOCLES
It renders tactics useless.
Even so... if I get in close, they won't be able to use it!
A blaze luminous!
That huge?!
Damocles was originally built to achieve absolute air superiority.
If it keeps ascending, we'll lose our chance to do anything against it!
Suzaku! Can you break through those defenses?
I'm trying! But their power output is in a different league from mine!
I don't think they can fire a F.L.E.I.J.A. Now, though.
And our attacks can't get through to them, either. We may as well be spectators now.
Is there nothing left but for the world to cower before the overwhelming might of F.L.E.I.J. A?
Well, that achieves a sort of peace, too.
Mass our remaining forces around the Avalon!
We'll assault Damocles with the hostages aboard here!
Sure you wanna do that?
Your return here means you've almost figured it out, I presume.
The rest depends on you and Suzaku, Your Majesty.
Schneizel! Are you trying to kill the hostages, too?!
Now that the Black Knights have been beaten...
We aren't beaten yet!
Then I'll wait 10 minutes.
Just 10 minutes?!
You're contacting me because you're in formation to counterattack, aren't you?
All right, then. 10 minutes.
That's a hefty loan, considering we need 10 minutes to prep the next shot.
It'll save me the trouble of dealing with them after the battle.
Are you saying you don't need the Black Knights anymore?
What purpose is there for a collective military force?
Hey, Rivalz.
What, Prez?
It's amazing, isn't it? Our student council members are fighting the whole world.
Is that sarcasm?
Because I wasn't able to protect Nina?
Oh, don't take it so seriously. You did your best, right?
Yeah, I tried, but...
No. You did.
From behind?!
The Black Knights!
I swear I will defeat you myself!
You snuck around me, Xing-ke?!
I won't let the Avalon be shot down!
Xing-ke, I'll stop you!
Justice weighs on my side!
It's over!
What?!
Kururugi!
I'm amazed you can still fight in your condition!
It disgusts me to think that you abandoned your nation to climb in rank!
What do you have to fight for?!
All I want is a future!
Your future is worthless!
I've failed!
EJECT
Tohdoh!
Damn!
Ah! I have to admit, they did well.
Primary float unit, damaged. Damage level 75%.
We're falling... The Avalon is falling!
They're trying to get in!
Hold it, hold it, HOLD IT!
Okay, now to settle things once and for...
No, I'm not giving up! I've got pride, too!
I wasn't in time.
They got in.
If we get them into a hand-to-hand fight, we have a chance to win!
Cut power and communications, then rescue the hostages!
Chen Tsun Tsui!
Holding out this long was good enough.
Land the ship in the Pacific.
You all will now follow mission Apate Aletheia.
Master Lelouch...
You have served me well.
I am grateful for the resolution you all have shown.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Should we fire the F.L.E.I.J.A. Here?
We still have the blaze luminous. We should wait for criticality.
Good point.
It's a good chance to eliminate the Black Knights, though.
No, I suppose I shouldn't. We mustn't be greedy.
Yes, I understand.
This is a personal request from me. However...
It was also Princess Euphemia's wish, wasn't it?
Which is why... I have to do it.
However, unless the environmental data is entered into the final program,
the device won't be complete. Let me go with you.
You've done enough, Nina.
What you said just now shows me your true feelings in this.
You've done enough for me... For Zero, Euphy's murderer.
I can't forgive Zero.
Maybe not for the rest of my life.
But this is separate from that.
I just had to find my own answer to all this.
That's all.
You really are amazing.
C.C., you're all right?
Well, that's a switch. Were you worried about me?
As a valued combatant.
That's why I came to get this.
Then you'll escort me?
You're going out there, right?
Even though you may have to kill Nunnally yourself.
If she stands in the way of the Zero Requiem, I have no choice.
Lelouch... Don't you hate me?
I changed your fate drastically by giving you Geass.
This isn't what a witch is supposed to say, is it?
C.C., the Geass you gave me...
What you gave me only started me down the road.
Everything that followed was my doing.
I've never met a man like you.
C. C...
Kallen!
I'm going to stop you!
Goodbye, Lelouch.
Leave this to me! Get to Damocles!
You stubborn!
But, you're no match for the Guren!
I'm glad that you care, Lelouch.
Now go, but make sure you come back!
That'll make me smile, right?
Yes. I promise you!
I have to succeed. This move has to work, no matter what!
Enemy Knightmares, approaching. The Shinkiro is leading them.
Lower the blaze luminous from over the F.L.E.I.J.A. Launch tube.
Target the Shinkiro!
Lelouch, are you throwing your life away at the very end? How unsightly.
Realignment, complete.
Nunnally.
Now we will end it. You can do this, right?
Yes, Brother Schneizel.
Blaze luminous, lowered.
Now.
All right. Entering data.
The F.L.E.I.J.A. Changes composition from moment to moment.
If you hit it with a reaction corresponding to that,
you can stop the F.L.E.I.J.A. From achieving criticality.
But you have to enter the local environment data...
within the approximately 19 seconds before detonation.
And even if you complete the program,
you'll only have 0.04 seconds for it to execute.
With this, peace will be assured.
Suzaku!
Yes, Your Majesty!
Now!
It should work in theory, but...
Princess Euphemia!
The F.L.E.I.J. A!
It disappeared?!
It worked... They did it?
In 19 seconds and then in 0.04 seconds?
I didn't expect them to have made a toy like that.
Now! Fly in!
They've penetrated the blaze!
Indeed, they have.
Enemy infiltration, alpha-3!
The key! The Damocles key!
Delta block, communications cut!
Float unit control room 6 has been destroyed! Prince Schneizel!
I salute you, Lelouch.
For forcing me to use my final plan.
You're really going to do that.
Yes. Turn Damocles into a prison for Lelouch and the others.
After we abandon ship,
we'll destroy Damocles itself with a F.L.E.I.J.A.
A fine coffin for him.
I'm sure you'll be pleased with it, Lelouch.
If Damocles makes it up into satellite orbit,
even the Lancelot will be useless against it.
To win, we need to stop Schneizel.
I'm analyzing the internal structure of this place. Have to crack a password block.
What?!
Gino?
Lelouch! I don't accept your Britannia!
I'll destroy you here and now!
What?! How is it so powerful?!
Gino!
Suzaku!
Lelouch, go on ahead!
There's an enemy you have to defeat and a person you have to save!
Right!
You flee?!
Gino, you insist on fighting me?
Yes. Because I have to protect something within me!
I'm fighting to protect something, too!
Protect? Protect what?!
Is Schneizel on the command and control floor? Or else is he?
Seventh sequence. F.L.E.I.J.A. Detonation point reset to within Damocles!
Damocles and F.L.E.I.J.A. Are both just machines in the end.
We can always rebuild them.
But the Tromo Agency doesn't have the resources for that. Not Rosenberg, either.
Lelouch is now the enemy of the entire world.
If we offer the system that destroyed him,
there will be all sorts of organizations happy to build F.L.E.I.J.A. S for us.
Isn't that essentially terrorism?
There's Princess Nunnally's opinion to consider, as well.
And why should you care what your bait thinks?
Surely, you wouldn't... You're abandoning her?!
World peace or a single life...
Sad to say, one cannot be compared to the other.
The key! Where's the key?
I have to stop big brother!
We have to hold out here! Until His Majesty completes the mission!
I hate what Lelouch has become.
The Knight of Six?! A fitting opponent for me.
You have no country to defend! Nothing to avenge!
You also don't have a shred of ambition!
Someone with no reason to fight should just leave!
I've made a reason to fight. A promise.
Are you saying that you love Lelouch?!
Who knows?
It's just that I thought it's time I stopped "accumulating experiences" and started living.
That makes you sound almost human!
Well done.
Kallen... You win.
That really doesn't matter. Goodbye.
Win or lose, I never thought I still had those feelings in me.
The key! Where's the key?! Where is it?!
I have to stop big brother! I have to!
Standing by to launch. Rendezvous point with Sir Hartgren is...
is as planned, no changes. Course, clear. Ceiling, favorable.
Please set contact channel to Victor.
I've been waiting for you, Schneizel.
I see. I suppose this means you have me in a check mate.
I see.
Please tell me, how did you know what my plan was?
It wasn't your plan. What I anticipated was your basic nature.
My nature?
You don't have the will to win.
That match at the Vermilion Forbidden City...
The coup d'état of the Black Knights...
You only play a game where you know you can't lose.
So, you knew I would abandon Damocles?
Schneizel, this time, I'm making sure that you lose.
Meaning, you're going to kill me.
Hong Gu, move from corridor 3 to take the bridge. The U.F.N. Representatives are...
Xing-ke!
Your Majesty! Are you all right?
Those people saved us!
Master Xing-ke, we're on your side.
You mean you've betrayed Lelouch?
He threatened us!
But now that Lelouch is gone...
At the very least, we can believe that they think dictatorship is wrong.
Very well.
Yeah. It looks like the final battle will be inside of Damocles.
Ohgi is... I mean, the general secretary is...
Either way. You're saying he's okay, right?
Y-Yes...
In the end, Brother didn't kill me.
He really doesn't have any driving ambitions.
In a more normal world, he would have made an excellent king.
I was a fool not to have read through that, wasn't I?
Princess...
You still insist on calling me that?
I have a question. Did you want to use Damocles to rule the world?
No. I just wanted to give everyone what they wanted.
To make peace.
Disregarding humanity's true nature?
That's a matter of opinion.
You thought you could keep the world stuck in an eternal "now."
But life without change cannot be called life.
That's merely experience.
But link those together, and they become knowledge.
You truly are superior.
So superior that you can't see it!
Yes. Emperor Charles sought the past. You seek the present.
But I seek the future!
The future may be worse than the present.
No. It'll be better.
Because, no matter how long it takes, people will continue to seek happiness.
Even though you know that will only feed their own greed?
Your foolishness knows no limits, either.
You're too emotional.
Hope and dreams are just names for an aimless fiction.
That's because you're limited by being part of the symbol...
known as a royal family which looks down on the world.
I've seen it, over and over. The people who struggle against sadness.
Those who seek the future.
How they all carry on, wishing for happiness.
That's why I have Geass. Why I wear a mask...
That's a contradiction. You, who continually denies the will of others,
stand here now affirming human will.
Enough of this. Kill me now.
But you will still be annihilated by a F.L.E.I.J.A.
We will give our lives for the peace of the world...
Which is why I have chosen...
to give you the gift of the words "You shall serve Zero."
You never intended to kill me at all!
H-Highness...
Dammit! Why didn't I realize?
He recorded that video by anticipating Schneizel's thoughts.
Order me to do whatever you wish, Master Zero.
Schneizel...
Your willingness to let yourself be killed is what led you to your defeat.
Don't move!
Zero! Your story is already finished!
You shouldn't even be alive!
What right have you to deny my existence?
Prince Schneizel...
Who would sacrifice his life without any hesitation!
Such is the power of Geass!
Z-Zero... At least... finish me, too... with your Geass...
Diethard...
You aren't worth wasting my Geass on.
Now then, Schneizel, will you first cancel Damocles' self-destruct?
Understood. However, Nunnally has the F.L.E.I.J.A. Control switch.
No matter how strong you've made your machine, you won't beat me!
We'll see about that!
This is the result, Gino.
No. I've fulfilled my role.
He damaged the blaze luminous system?
Now, Kallen!
Thanks, Gino!
Suzaku! I've come to end it. Our paths will never cross again!
It's you, isn't it, big brother?
Yes.
Are you here for the Damocles key?
Yes. It's dangerous. Dangerous to you.
That's the reason.
The reason I can't close my eyes to this anymore.
She's broken Father's Geass?! With her own will?!
Now, big brother... Will you use your Geass on me as well?
This corrupt world is filled with demons Dakuse wa oni
What is justice? Seigi wa nanzo to
Resist, don't just question Tou mae ni aragae yo
The flower of evil Akutoku no hana
Dreams of hypocrisy Gizen no yume
Give your gaze to the eyes that see them Mishi me niwa me wo sashi
The line between right and wrong cannot be known Sei mo ja mo wakatareru koto nashi
Light is gone, and you slumber Hikari wa tae taiji no you ni
Like an unborn child in the womb of darkness Kimi wa nemuru yami no shikyuu
Isolation is what you love Kodoku koso itooshii
It will probably be your only ally Yui-itsu no mikata to naru darou
One by one, stained with the tide of blood Hitori hitori chishio ni mamire
You were born into this era Kono jidai ni umare ochita
Oh, chosen princes Erabareshi oujira yo
Battle shall be your banquet Tatakai koso shukuen
Oh, I am graceful omniscience Aa ware wa uruwashii zenchi
The loving mother Ai no haha
Who bore you Kimi wo umu
The ones who were raised on my breast Kono chichi ni hagukumishi mono wa
Are your brethren in hell Jigoku no harakara
The mark of apocalypse Mokushi no in
What is truth Shinri wa nanzo to
A seed of secrecy buried where no one knows Shirimosezu uzumoreshi intoku no tane
A double-edged sword Moroha no ken
Turn its blade upon the unsheathed blade Nuku ha niwa ha wo muke
Believe only in what you must protect Mamorubeki mono dake wo shinjite
And in your own way Aru ga mama ni kimi wa
You'll set yourself free Kimi wo hanate
Perhaps I've been wandering since that day.
I was so sick of a world that never changed.
But I couldn't give in to despair by lying to myself.
Yes... My name, my personal history, the power I've gained...
Perhaps it's all been the path for me to find truth.
Perhaps that's what I've sought all along.
Well, then...
