LLOYD
Well, then,
what are you going to do, Your Majesty?
About the problem at hand...

LELOUCH
Hmph.
That's why I took control of Britannia, but...

C.C.
So it's true?
Schneizel's really planning to...

LELOUCH
Yes.
Given what my sources tell me, and the fact that the Tromo Agency in Cambodia has cut ties with Britannia...
When all of this is taken into account, there is but one conclusion to draw.
We must carry out the next phase of our plan before Schneizel has the chance to make his move...

Your Majesty, it's the Knights of the Round!
They're approaching, with the Knight of One in the lead!

VOICE
We can only confirm four of the Rounds among them, but...

—They're accompanied by their personal forces.

We are those who swore allegiance to Emperor Charles.

We will not recognize this usurper to the throne!

LELOUCH
(I've always known Suzaku was strong.)

LELOUCH
(The son of Japan's last prime minister, Kururugi Genbu.

After Japan's defeat in the war with Britannia, he became an Honorary Britannian and entered their military.

However, there's no way he had any prior experience piloting a Knightmare.)

LELOUCH
(And yet, he raced the Lancelot to victory through battle after battle.)

LELOUCH
(But there's more to Suzaku's strength than that.)

SUZAKU
And again!
He can predict my movements?!

SUZAKU
—Even so!

LELOUCH
Suzaku!
This battle is being broadcast around the world, as we planned.

SUZAKU
Right.
For the sake of the Zero Requiem, too—
There's no way I can let myself be defeated!

LELOUCH
That's why you must...
live!

SUZAKU
Yes, Your Majesty!

BISMARCK

LELOUCH
(The sheer force of your will is far from ordinary.)
(The fact that you're able to use that "live" geass I placed on you to your own advantage...)

SFX
<rumbling hum>
<zzzz—>

SUZAKU
Even though you can predict my movements...
If I do this—!

LELOUCH
(...)

LELOUCH
<smirk>
(Didn't I tell you, Suzaku?)
(There's never been anything we can't do if we're together.)

LELOUCH
Now, people of the world...



1 This word is being used in place of 'devicer', presumably because Suzaku is no longer just a devicer for the Lancelot Albion but in fact its master.
2 Albion is the oldest recorded name for the islands that make up Great Britain. Bismarck is likely balking at the choice of namesake.
