Star Geass

Episode 16: Refrain

Kallen was fast asleep on her bed as the television remained on, she seemed to have forgotten to turn it off last night.

"As it is noted the Britannia Empire has forged an alliance with the Galactic Empire that showed up outta nowhere they have travelled from another galaxy and warmed their ways into our hearts." RGGAM growled to himself as if he couldn't believe he had to say that on live TV.

"As the manhunt for those known to all as the Black knights and Rebel Alliance show no end in sight as three weeks have passed since the two Empire Alliance has been created and the hunt for their one common foe as such new wanted posters have been added and the poster of one Luke Skywalker has been changed from wanted dead or alive to alive by one Viceroy Cornelia who and I quote 'Vow to find Skywalker and rip him apart myself if anyone is going to kill the boy it's going to be me' those are the names of those who aid the rebellion and masked terrorist Zero viewers at home be warned the images we show are real I kid you not!"

RGGAM said on the tv showing images of wanted posters as he picked the posters one by one to show each face of the person.

"Those who have been demanded are wanted regardless dead or alive are thanks to our friends from the Galactic Empire we have descriptions of each one we show such as who support Luke Sklywalker, Asami Fukkura, Lop and Zero's campaign of chaos and destruction: Princess Leia Organa, Han Solo, Chewbacca the wookie, Lando Calrassian, Hera Syndulla, Sabine Wren, Captain Rex, and Garazeb Orrelios, if anyone comes in contact with anyone of them please inform the local Stormtroopers in your area!" He then clears his throat saying "And now onto the weather.."

It was crazy enough that the Galactic Empire made its way to Earth and forged an alliance which meant the Rebellion had to be smart and cautious one wrong move and they could be in chains at the mercy of the empire.

Kallen is then suddenly awakened by a sudden crash as she puts on a bathrobe and goes outside to find out where the nose came from.

She looked in the hallway to see a brown-haired middle-aged woman in a maid's outfit on her knees right by a broken chandelier and stepladder.

The maid turned to see the red-haired girl. "Uh... Kallen! I mean 'Miss'! Forgive me, I didn't wish to wake you."

"Again?" Kallen questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"I'm sorry, it was a step-ladder this time. It broke."

"Well just get it cleaned up, and make it quick. I have to leave for school." Kallen told her.

"Mistress, you've been attending school quite a bit lately. Making any friends there...?"

Kallen scowled. "I don't see how that's any of your business!" She stormed back into her room, oddly though, the maid still had a warm smile on her face.

However, once the door closed and Kallen was alone, her face became filled with internal pain. "Just go, will you!" She looked towards a framed picture with her, at the age of seven or eight, her brother, and an older woman with a sticker over her face.

Later that night; a pair of shady business dealers were in a warehouse just outside the Tokyo Settlement, making final arrangements on their deal as their men loaded their product on a large truck.

"I know it's for welfare, but why waste it on the Elevens?"

"That's why I'm selling it to you my friend. The Eleven population could use some thinning out if you ask me."

"Your payment will be transferred to your wife's account."

"Oh come on little Cornelia hasn't been thinking straight the moment she lost to something called a Jedi she's been so focused on him she's got no time for small trash like us."
