Ashford Academy- 2 days after the fall of Black Rebellion and Prince Scheniezel

Student Council Office

"How was Doctor Albert?", Rivalz asked. "He's with Nina. They're both being labeled as rebel of the new Emperor", Erika answered for Eleanor's sake. 

The news was up. "The black rebellion along with Prince Scheniezel failed to overthrow the Emperor Lelouch. Also, the Emperor's Knight of Zero was killed in the battlefield. After having a fight with the former Knight of Three and Zero's former personal Body Guard, he lost his life", Milly announced since she was the news anchor. The three were frozen. Rivalz clenched his fist and saw Lelouch's face on the television. He is currently having a parade on the street with all the rebels being roamed around the settlement. "After few hours, these rebels would be sentenced in execution", Milly added. There was a crack on her voice. 

She just reported two heartbreaking announcement but she wasn't allowed to show a tint of emotion. Rivalz felt pity on her putting a facade. He stood up and punched the wall. Erika looked at Eleanor. She felt angered to herself that she felt satisfied that it wasn't Gino who lost his life. But still, he is sentenced to death. She can't find words to comfort Eleanor. "He'll be saved. Lelouch gave his promise. He won't kill anyone of his people anymore", Eleanor said with a straight face. "What are you saying? That lelouch is no longer the person we knew before", Erika cried. "He promised", Eleanor stood up and turned off the television. Rivalz had it and used the scooter. "We have to follow him", Eleanor clicked her tongue. 

STREET

Both eleven and Britanians are watching the parade. They are both gritting their teeth. Rivalz caused a commotion in the crowd. "Lelouch, please.... stop this joke already", he shouted. A soldier came and hit his head. He was still conscious and begged Lelouch to pardon Kallen and the rest. The soldier was about to hit him again when a hand stopped the soldier. "I'm so sorry. Our friend is not in his sound mind", Eleanor apologized. It caught the attention of the rebels. Erika, who was also there, was able to have eye contact with Gino. "I'm sorry", Gino said. Erika was able to lip read it. Her tears fell and shook her head. "It wasn't your fault", Erika cried more. Gino looked at the Goldilocks but she was looking straight to Lelouch. The raven haired smiled and closed his eyes. 

The people gasped upon the appearance of another Zero. Kalen knew that Zero was Lelouch. Why is there another Zero? The man ran towards the Emperor. The soldiers tried to hold him off but he is already pass the rebels. He ran towards the mobile stage where Lelouch was. He stood up and was about to fire the gun but the Zero slapped it using his sword. 

"I see, so this is my punishment", Lelouch continued to talk with the masked Zero. Eleanor's eyes widened when she saw Lelouch smiling as the sword was directed to him. She knew something was off. She broke through the security and ran towards the center but the masked Zero already stabbed Lelouch with the sword. After that, Lelouch was pushed down where Nunally is chained. "Brother?", Nunally held his hand. The remaining rebels claimed that Lelouch is dead and freed the other rebels. It was led by Cornelia, Lelouch's half sister. Eleanor pushed Jeremiah who was on the patrol and showed her ID as medics. 

She climbed the stage and saw how much blood was already spilled. Nunally was crying too loud. Eleanor tore her clothes and pressed where Lelouch had been stabbed. "Lelouch, can you hear me? You've been stabbed in the middle abdomen. I will try to stop the bleeding. We just have to stop the blee...", Eleanor was grabbed by the masked Zero. "Let me go. Lelouch... lelouch.... it can't end this way", Eleanor cried and tried to remove Zero's grip. She can see Lelouch's eyes losing its light. "I see, you're going to see Suzaku. It's been a tough battle right, Lelouch. This world peace that you were talking about. I think I now understand. You were trying to destroy it in order to build it again. You're really a guy who sneaks out and doing things you shouldn't do", Eleanor wiped her tears.
