5 days later, Akihito declared himself Emperor of Japan and restored Japan in just 5 days, Akihito also stated that the government would be controlled by the people themselves, he will only lead and rule the country, while the one who governs the country is the prime minister. German and Soviet troops have withdrawn from mainland Japan and Japan is completely back in its original hands
Tokyo, Imperial Capital of Japan
Tokyo has recovered and all the Ghettos have been restored to cities again, and now, Akihito is walking among his people (he's in disguise, he still likes to go walks)
Akihito: This is the life I want, it will be a bright future for Japan itself
Meanwhile at Ikaruga
Diethard saw that things were getting better and while monitoring developments, a Soviet Mil Mi-26 helicopter arrived and landed in Ikaruga.
Kravchenko: <This is Commander Lev Kravchenko of Soviet Armed Forces, we here to deliver the package>
Diethard: A package?
Black Knights 2#: We don't have any packages order anyway
When the helicopter lands, the back of the helicopter opens. And a tall and big Russian man came up to Diethard
Kravchenko: My name is Lev Kravchenko, Commander of Soviet Armed Forces
Diehard: good, my name is Diethard Reid. By the way, what brings you here?
Kravchenko: I'll explain later. But, before that, I'll give you guys… this
Then Schneizel and Kanon with shabby clothes because they had been tortured by the Soviets got out of the helicopter.
Kravchenko: This is the package we mean
Diethard: Th-this is the package we mean? Why are they like this?
Kravchenko: They are Brits, our enemies. And they both deserve to be treated like that just like what the commoners of other countries do
Diethard: But not like this either!
Kravchenko: This is a request from the Supreme Soviet Army Commander in Alaska, Nikita Dragovich.
At that time, Cornelia saw her brother, Schneizel and her adviser Kanon, but she was surprised to see them as if they had been tortured to the max. Then Cornelia approached her brother
Cornelia: Brother! My goddess! You still alive! What happened to him?
Schneizel: Kanon had very severe PTSD because we were tortured by Soviet people for 6 days
Kanon: I... I... I...
Cornelia looked at Kanon who seemed to be in a declining mental state from being tortured
Cornelia: *turns to Kravchenko* what did you do to my brother?!
Kravchenko: We only serve them well, really, there's nothing wrong right?
Cornelia: But not like this either! How come?
Roman: You Brittanians deserve to be tortured in the Gulag, where it is in Siberia. You guys are better at being a useless miners than aristocrats
Cornelia: who are you?
Roman: I'm the one in charge of making Earl Kanon Mardini this way! My name is General Roman Barkov. I am loyal to comrade Commander Kravchenko
Cornelia: You--!
Schneizel: Cornelia, that's enough, after all I can still endure the trauma that befell me and Kanon
Kravchenko: That's because you are tortured physically, not mentally, your mentally as hard as steel, no matter how hard we torture you, but you can still endure it. Come on Diethard, I wanna talk about something on another room
In another room
Kravchenko: Do you know about Geass?
Diethard: yes, Lelouch had tell us already
Kravchenko: Right now, we're researching a place called the Thought Elevator, in Krasnoyarsk Kai. Our own research team has been deployed to research the place which is the gate, but we don't know where the gate opens. But we have strange activities every day, starting from the gate that glows red by itself. Geass Research Team or Исследовательская группа Гиасса. But they make the special unit named Special Forces Omega or Спецгруппа Омега. Made from Soviet intelligence, KGB
Diethard: What do you need here?
Kravchenko: Look, our intelligence detected a Longres-class floating battleship with the name "Great Britannia" heading towards Kamine Island, but the KGB detected a high level of Geass power. The power is very strong detected on the island
Diethard: So? You want us to discuss this?
Kravchenko: Not just me, but Albert Himmler who is the Geass Research and Control Team or Geass Forschungs- und Kontrollteam
Diethard: Alright, I'll tell the others
In meeting room
Schneizel and Kanon had sat down and were wearing simple but decent clothes (but polite, don't worry). Beside Schneizel's right, Cornelia sat down and several members of the Black Knights came and they took their seats
Schneizel: Okay, we begin in here. Now that I think about it, I never finish my match with Zero, did I?
Diethard: Zero won’t be attending. Not until we have the details of the proposal.
Schneizel: Of course. I didn’t expect him to show. He’s not the type who consults with others. No, he keeps things to himself and holds people at a distance.
Diethard: (acting) That’s strange. You talk about him as if you know him intimately.
Schneizel: More than any of you do. Zero is our younger brother. Cornelia’s and my own.
Tamaki: (acting) What are you saying?
Schneizel: (lying because he already knows who Zero is from his confession) He is the former 11th royal prince of the Holy Britannian Empire: Lelouch vi Britannia. The man whom I both loved and feared more than any other.
However there is no reaction from the Black Knights. Because they were deliberately acting and pretending not to know Zero's identity
Tohdoh: Oh, that? I'm quite impressed
Tamaki: Me too... Not too surprising
Cornelia, Schneizel and Kanon were shocked, they weren't surprised to hear Zero's real name, could it be that they also knew his identity?
Cornelia: Answer us... Has Zero told you who he is?
Diethard: He already told us about his identity.
Schneizel: Has he told you about Geass? It’s the absolute power to compel anyone to obey him. You can think of it as extreme hypnosis.
Diethard: He already told us about it, and what happened last year wasn't him turning on the Geass, it was someone triggering it.
Albert: And it was Führer Hanz, since in the Old World, he told it to me, but I don't believe it, but when shown, there is a red sigil in his eyes, but this sigil is dark red, at that time I believed
They were surprised to see that Albert Himmler was already in there
Cornelia: Wait a minute... Isn't Geass bright red?
Albert: He says his name is Absolute Geass, he says he can control people who are hit by Geass and can turn on the user's own Geass without the user knowing. This Geass is the extreme Geass, you can Geass people even from other dimensions
They were surprised to hear that this Geass could Geassed another people from his world, but could be inter-dimensional
Tamaki: Impossible! There's no way he could!
Albert: He admits to me, but he seems scared and he doesn't know anything about this Geass yet. So it's normal
Schneizel: That's usually normal, because people who aren't aware of Geassed other people definitely don't know what to do, so basically they are uninformed about this.
Albert: Hey, but the good news is, Euphemia is resurrected, so don't worry
Cornelia: Don't worry you say?! You made Euphie have a double personality! The first personality is herself, and the second personality is her psychopathic side!
Kanon: So logically, Euphemia who has the trait of killing her by carrying a long-barreled gun everywhere and can be crazy and psychopathic at any time. Euphemia li Britannia is his first personality, while Euphemia li Germania is his second personality, meaning Euphemia li Germania is a representation of cruelty, brutality, madness and psychopaths of human itself, In a way, the name Euphemia li Germania is a demon who has descended to earth
Kravchenko: All right, let's take care of the others. KGB intelligence detects a Longres-class floating battleship near Kamine Island
Tohdoh: Kamine Island? Wasn't that island where the Britannia troops were and the IJN had obliterated it?
Kravchenko: Looks like you guys should know something, a truth
Tamaki: A truth?
Albert: Emperor Charles, Emperor Britannia himself... Not after Sakuradite who is in Japan, but something else. Charles uses Sakuradite as a motive in Britannia's invasion of Japan, in fact he's not after Sakuradite, but Thought Elevator
Schneizel: As far as we know, it's the gateway to the world the Geass came from and however lack solid evidence, we don't know its function
The Japanese people in the room were shocked that the Britannia Emperor himself wasn't after Sakuradite but this Thought Elevator
Chiba: So the invasion that happened eight years ago was just a lie?
Tamaki: I do not believe it! The Britannia Emperor isn't aiming for our Sakuradite, but this something called the Thought Elevator?! This is a war crime!
Tohdoh: We must punish Charles for the crimes he committed!
Schneizel: Not that easy
Kravchenko: With the war going on in the Britannian mainland itself, he even fled to go to Kamine Island, he really was a coward
Albert: With this we have to stop it. Before he goes any further
Cornelia: You said German Führer Hanz Friederich Hitler had Absolute Geass right? If so if he already enjoys and has children, then...
Schneizel: The power of this Absolute Geass passed down to its own child. It means inherited by his descendants
Albert: But there is only one person who just found out about that power, he was Reichsmarschall Siegmund Hitler, while Eva Hitler didn't know her Absolute Geass.
Cornelia: I'm with from General Bartley that a man named VV who is an immortal child who is my uncle, he and my father conspired to kill God
For those who heard this felt ridiculous and impossible, what kind of person would want to kill God? it's the stupidest and most ridiculous plan they've ever heard of
Tohdoh: Killing God? What kind of idiot would want to use this power to kill God?
Albert: Actually it's possible, even Emperor Charles had Geass, even his wife named Marianne also conspired with her husband and VV to kill God. Our interrogation of VV shows that Marianne also has Geass and her soul isn't dead yet, it was transferred to another body.
Lelouch: Is it true?
They saw Lelouch enter the room in shock
Albert: Yes, that's actually true, it was VV who said that, and he faked your and your sister's memories. Listen Lelouch, your mother isn't dead, her soul is in someone else's body. But we don't know where Marianne's soul is
Lelouch: So all this... Just a VV game? How dare he do this
Albert: Since when were you there?
Lelouch: Since earlier, I was passing by and I overheard your conversation
Kravchenko: What we need is to prevent Charles from killing God, if he wants to change the rules of His divine, it's to be so dangerous. This world may be chaotic and corrupt
Albert: The results of another interrogation show that Charles plans to eliminate the lies throughout the world and wants to unite the souls of the dead and the living souls. If this happens, this world will fall apart
Diethard: So what we need is to stop Charles on Kamine Island now.
Albert: Wait a minute, I want to talk to Lelouch first
Lelouch: umm, okay?
In another room
Albert: Other interrogation results show that it was VV who shot your mother and then he faked memories of you and Nunnally. So you want to end all this?
Lelouch: I do
Albert: Now... We will start this joint operation
Back to meeting room
Kravchenko: How was your conversation?
Albert: Pretty good
And it turns out that there is Emperor Akihito sitting too
Akihito: I appreciate this mission to stop Charles from killing God. I allow you, Lelouch, who is leading your army and Commander Tohdoh, to lead the Gekka squadron.
Schneizel: So, we agree? For cooperation?
Akihito: If you do not mind
Kravchenko: So what operation are we going to call this?
Lelouch: Operation: Divine Rescue
To Be Continued.
