[TRANSLATED] CODE GEASS: Lelouch of the Rebellion Re; (Chapter 6)
Original Scans: courtesy of Comic NewType
Imperial Calendar, 2018—
Charles zi Britannia, 98th Emperor of the global superpower known as the Holy Britannian Empire, was no more.
Believing that might made right, Charles had employed the strongest people in all of the empire as his Knights of the Round, and it was these knights who headed to the imperial capital Pendragon in order to confront the traitor who had murdered him: Lelouch.
However, one man stood in their way: a Round who surpassed all other Rounds, and introduced himself as the Knight of Zero. That man was none other than Suzaku Kururugi.
This knight, Suzaku Kururugi, backed Lelouch vi Britannia as the new emperor.
These two boys, working alone, will crack the very foundation of the world as it currently exists.
And with that world thrown off balance, everything will start to come apart.
What next will these two boys deliver unto the world?
While the rest of the world holds its breath, Lelouch has an announcement to make.
And that announcement is—

Now, people of the world—
I should think what you've just seen...
...will convince you that I am the ruler of Britannia in fact as well as in name.
<ka-thunk>
LELOUCH
Additionally, my Britannian Empire would like to announce...
SFX
<fwoosh>
LELOUCH
...its intention to join the United Federation of Nations.
SFX
<mutter>
I will, of course, ensure that no military officers are present for these negotiations — and that includes Suzaku Kururugi.
For I intend to abide by all of the United Federation's rules.
SCHNEIZEL
So, he's come out of hiding after all?
LELOUCH
Provided that—
—I be allowed to designate the stage for these negotiations is that nation which has come to be neutral territory between the current Britannia and the United Federation of Nations: Japan...
SCHNEIZEL
...
LELOUCH
And more specifically, Ashford Academy.
KALLEN
Lelouch...
<roaaaaar>
C.C.
Lelouch.
C.C.
Are you sure about this?
Bringing just me and a handful of special police?
LELOUCH
This is how one goes about making a request.
We're asking them to let us participate in their democracy.
Oh, really?
LELOUCH
Well, who doesn't love democracy?
C.C.
By the way, why did you choose Ashford Academy?
For the dregs of memories?
Or maybe...?
LELOUCH
Hmph.
LELOUCH
Didn't I say?
Because it's neutral territory.
We come to you from Ashford Academy, the site designated by His Majesty Lelouch, Emperor of Britannia.
Today, the UFN Council will be deliberating on whether or not to allow the Britannian Empire to join their...

<roar...>
MILLY
That's the Britannian emperor's private plane.
SFX
<whoooooosh>
Emperor Lelouch has just touched down inside the Academy grounds.
VOICES
It's the Emperor of Justice...
Lelouch!
VOICES
He's just a kid, isn't he?
Lelouch!
RIVALZ
Lelouch, answer me!
RIVALZ
How come you never told me—!
RIVALZ
I—!
SPECIAL POLICE
How dare you?!
You're addressing the Britannian Emperor!
RIVALZ
But!
RIVALZ
But we're friends!
He's—
Lelouch—!
LELOUCH
<ignores!>
You knew, didn't you?
That this was going to hurt you...
KALLEN
Lelouch.
Why—
LELOUCH
It's a pleasure to meet you.
LELOUCH
You're Kallen Kouzuki, one of the commanding officers of the Black Knights, right?
Yes.
I've come to escort you.
LELOUCH
Do you... mind if we take the scenic route?
KALLEN
Huh?
LELOUCH
I suppose I'm a trifle nervous.
The walk would do me some good.
...
Understood.
KALLEN
Is there anything in particular you'd like to see?
KALLEN
What about...
the Student Council Room?
LELOUCH
If you'd like.
KALLEN
This way, then.
<clop, click, clop>
How nostalgic.
SFX
<click, click>
KALLEN
...I...
I'm grateful to you.
<shoom>
SFX
<click, clop>
KALLEN
—If it hadn't been for you...
we would have died in the Shinjuku2 ghetto.
And the Black Knights would never have existed.
KALLEN
—I was so happy...
to feel needed by Zero.
It was an honor and a privilege.
...But then.
When I learned that you were Zero...
I couldn't understand why.
KALLEN
...Still,
watching you fight against Britannia...
...and even join forces with Suzaku...
KALLEN
What is it you're after here?
KALLEN
Do you just want more power?
<click, clop>
Is this about status?
Or is it all just a game to you?
During the Black Rebellion, Ougi said we had to protect you.
SFX
<click>
KALLEN
Because you...
...were the only person who could carry on my brother's dream...
Lelouch!
What am I to you?!
Why did you tell me I had to live on the Ikaruga?
Farewell, Lelouch.
Your meeting with the Supreme Council will be held in the gymnasium.
LELOUCH
(Farewell...)
