NARRATION
Seven years after the Holy Britannian Empire, which already controlled one-third of the world, invaded Japan
and stripped it of its freedom, its rights, and even its name—
—there suddenly appeared a masked man who raised the flag of revolution against Britannia.
With promises of ridding them of Britannian rule, Zero had soon captured Eleven sympathy
and from there, his anti-Britannia organization — the Black Knights — grew rapidly.
Anyone could have predicted that the Black Knights and Britannia would eventually collide head-on.
But the way it actually happened... was completely unexpected.
The Third Imperial Princess, Euphemia li Britannia, proposed and advocate for the Specially-Administered Zone of Nippon, where the people would be allowed to once again call themselves Japanese.
Then, at the inaguration ceremony, a bullet fired by Euphemia herself triggered the outbreak of all-out war.
Also at the center of the ferocious battle that unfolded within the TOKYO Settlement were the two protagonists of our story.
The son of Japan's last prime minister, yet he belongs to the Britannian military and pilots the Lancelot, a next-generation prototype Knightmare Frame.
Suzaku Kururugi.
Half-Britannian, yet she carries on in her older brother's place
as the ace of the Black Knights and pilots the Guren Mk II.
Kallen Kouzuki.
This is their story.
<slam>
SUZAKU
You—
SUZAKU
Now, answer me! Where is Zero?!
KALLEN
As if I'd tell a traitor like you!!
KALLEN
You—
BOTH
When did we first meet?
Was it on the field of battle?
BOTH
Or on a peaceful, ordinary day?
BOTH
I really can't remember anymore.
BOTH
And...
SFX
<graah>
I can't go back to the way things used to be!
I am guilty. Guilty of taking my own father's life.
KALLEN
I have a dream. A dream of restoring Japan, just like my brother wanted to.
BOTH
And on top of that—!!!
There was someone
Euphy
who said she loved me
and Zero—
—he took her away from me!!
There was someone
who accepted me—
I wanted to help him!
To help Zero!!
BOTH
And that's why—
SUZAKU
Don't you want to know Zero's true identity, too, Kallen?
KALLEN
What are you talking about?!
<bang!>
SUZAKU
I wanted to be wrong.
I didn't want my best friend to be—
SFX
<thunk>
KALLEN
I didn't want to accept it.
That the man I'd admired could be—
NARRATION
A boy who had wished for his little sister's happeness.
A boy who tried to destroy the world to make that one solitary wish come true.
Who waged a war against his homeland — and lost.
His actions rippled out, and had a great impact on both of them.
<click, click, click>
NARRATION
For his capture of Zero, and despite being a Number from a vanquished nation, he ascended to the ranks of the Empire's mightiest chivalric order — the Knights of the Round.
Suzaku Kururugi.
I will change this world from within the system.
Consumed by regret for her flight from Zero's true identity, she decided to make every effort to bring him back.
Kouzuki Kallen.
I have to know the truth...
This is Their Story
