CODE GEASS
Lelouch of the Rebellion Re;
Comic By: Tomofumi Ogasawara
Scenario By: Koujirou Taniguchi (Sunrise)
Original Story:
based on CODE GEASS: Lelouch of the Rebellion
(c) SUNRISE/PROJECT L-GEASS
Character Design (c) 2006-2017 CLAMP-ST
<Volume 1 and 2 are on sale with rave reviews!!>
SCHNEIZEL
How much longer will you keep this up, I wonder? Lelouch...
Don't tell me he's using his own people as a shield from the blast...
DIETHARD
Of course, that's what geass enables!
After all, such a tactic could only be accomplished by utterly fearless soldiers!
KANNON
...
Do you suppose his intention is to wait until we're out of FLEIJA warheads?
SCHNEIZEL
Oh, probably.
However—
It would seem that he only has one decent move to make.
<beep!>
DIETHARD
Which means...
He's going to do whatever it takes to destroy the FLEIJA launcher.

SFX
<bam, bam, bam!>
<bam, bam, bam!>
<bang>
<whoosh>
SFX

JEREMIAH
?!
A blaze luminous!
Our Damocles was originally built to achieve absolute aerial superiority.1
KANNON
As long as we're able to gain sufficient altitude, no one will be able to touch us.
SCHNEIZEL
And at that point, we'll be able to maintain total peace through FLEIJA.
(It's not enough to just get the Damocles to fire continuously...
Has Schneizel already seen through me?)
LELOUCH
(Either way, it's clear that he underestimated the strength of the Black Knights...)
SFX
<rooooar...>
SFX
<whoosh—>
<bam, bam, bam, bam!<
<whirrrrr>
CECILE
Primary float unit, damaged!
We've lost 75% of it!
LELOUCH
(Well, it's about time...)
LELOUCH
We've held out long enough.
SFX
<abruptly—>
LELOUCH
Bring the Avalon down in the Pacific Ocean.
Your role now is to carry out Mission Apate/Aletheia.2
You've served me well.
LELOUCH
I'm grateful for the resolution you have all shown.
ALL
Yes, Your Majesty!
(A shield made up of soldiers isn't enough against that mightiest of weapons, the FLEIJA.
But the FLEIJA launcher can't be destroyed...)
SFX
<click-clack>
LELOUCH
(...because it's protected by that mightiest of shields, an enormous blaze luminous.
Not even the weapon known as Suzaku can penetrate it.)
(You can't simply counter a weapon with a shield or a shield with a weapon. That way lies failure.
You need a weapon for every weapon and a shield for every shield. Only then can you win.)
LELOUCH
(And in order to make that possible, my final move will be...)
NINA
Lelouch.
NINA
A word...
with you.
I wonder if we should fire the FLEIJA now...
KANNON
No.
Because we're still under the blaze luminous.
It would be better to wait for nuclear criticality...
SCHNEIZEL
Fair enough.
It's just that it would be such a good opportunity to eliminate the Black Knights...
No, I suppose I shouldn't.
Mustn't be greedy.
Yes, I understand.
This is a personal request from me.
However...
NINA
It's what Lady Euphemia would have wanted, too, isn't it?
LELOUCH
Which is why... I have to be the one to do it.
NINA
But unless the environmental data is entered into the final program, the FLEIJA Eliminator will be ineffective.
Let me go with you.
LELOUCH
You've already done enough, Nina.
What you've said... I know how you must feel.
Giving aid to me...
To Zero, Euphy's murderer.
NINA
I'm not going to forgive Zero.
Probably not for as long as I live.
But this has nothing to do with that.
It's just a problem I know I have to be the one to solve.
That's all.
SFX
<click>
You really are amazing.
SFX
<whirrrrr>
<whoooosh>
This has to work!
It's the only move we have!
So no matter what...!!
(The Damocles's blaze luminous is indeed an impregnable defense.
The very mightiest shield.
It even completely blocks physical assaults.
But there is one reason to lower that shield.)
LELOUCH
(And that's to fire a FLEIJA warhead.)
LELOUCH
(For FLEIJA physically cannot be fired with the blaze luminous in the way.)
SFX
<sharp popping sounds>
(However, Schneizel will, of course, eject only critical FLEIJA.
Which is to say: the FLEIJA he fires will always detonate.)
(If that happens, then everything other than the Damocles — including the Avalon — will probably be consumed by the blast.
And that's why the FLEIJA Eliminator is so crucial!)
(A FLEIJA warhead changes composition from moment to moment.
If you hit it with a reaction corresponding to that, you can stop it from achieving criticality.
Within the approximately 19 seconds before detonition, the local environment data must be entered in.
And then...!
For the FLEIJA Eliminator to work...)
Suzaku!

SUZAKU
Yes, Your Majesty!

Ahhh—!

Now!
SFX
<throw—>
<bam, glare>
<exploding>
<whirrrrr>
<scatter, fizzle>
KANNON
The FLEIJA...!!
DIETHARD
It vanished...?
SCHNEIZEL
...—
(It worked...?)
LELOUCH
A weapon for a weapon...
...and a shield for a shield!
SFX
<rooooar>
SFX
<clangggg>
<fzzt, shhh>
SFX
<strike, crash!>
LELOUCH
Now!
Fly in!
SFX
<thrash crash smash>
They've penetrated the blaze?!
SCHNEIZEL
Indeed they have.
What now, Schneizel?!
This move
was more than just one move!
