01x25 - Zero

[bunniefuu]

I see...
You were Zero all along.

Someone with a grudge against
the Britannian imperial family...

Darlton's analysis was correct.

Y- You did this all
for Nunnally's sake?

Correct.

I will destroy the present world
and build a new one in its place.

You k*lled them for the
sake of that madness?!

Clovis? Even Euphy?!

You're one to talk, sister, considering how
you idolized my mother, Marianne the Flash.

It would seem...
Any further talk with you would be useless.

Indeed. Well, then...

Lelouch vi Britannia
orders you to answer him!

Right.

Sister, were you the one
who k*lled my mother?

No.

Then who was it?

I don't know.

You were in charge of her
personal guard, were you not?!

Yes.

Then why did you
withdraw her escort?

Because I was asked to.

By whom?!

Lady Marianne.

Mother did?! That's impossible!

Are you saying Mother knew
she would be att*cked that day?!

No, it's impossible! If she did,
she would have gotten us out of there!

What happened on that day?!
Who k*lled my mother?!

You don't know?
Then who knows the truth?!

I know you've investigated
what happened that day yourself!

His Majesty the Emperor ordered Schneizel
to transport the body out of there.

The body? You mean mother's?
Then what was in that coffin?

Hey! Get back in here!

I know! The government bureau
defense forces will be here soon.

No! Your little sister's
been kidnapped!

This is no time for jokes.

Now we have to take Cornelia
to headquarters as our hostage.

I just know this!
It's the reason you have for living!

She's headed for Kamine Island!

Kamine Island?

ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!

What's this?
Can it really be? Zero?!

Oh, what luck!
What fate! What evil fortune!

Is that you, Orange?

Oh! Oh!

Oh, I beg of you!
Will you please die?

Dammit... Get Cornelia!

I know!

Zero! I...

I shall eliminate all enemies
of our empire's subjects!

Yes! And so...

ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!

Such a disgrace!
How do I report this to the prince?

It's just his emotions which are running wild.
It's hard to predict his actions.

I just wish we could
communicate with him!

Out of my way!

ZERO-O-O!!!

I don't tell anyone where I hurt
Itamu basho darenimo iwanai

I stare at the dreams hidden by my hurried heart
Isogu kokoro ga kakushita yume wo

With fragile eyes
Kowaresouna hitomi de mitsumeru

Only my unchecked power
Osaekirenai chikara dake

Flies out without separating from me
Hanasazu ni tobitatsu

Chance encounters hasten...
Meguriai ga ugokidasu

Destiny as it starts to move
Unmei wo hayamete

At least tell me the instant...
Semete kimi ga kakenukeru

When you come running through
Isshun wo oshiete

ZERO

Why did you stop Suzaku?

It was my duty as a civilian
m*llitary contractor, wasn't it?

You didn't want him
to get k*lled, did you?

Please, you know me
better than that.

Humans are so fragile... In our bodies,
our hearts, and our relationships with each other.

Nevertheless, you can't bend people
or the world to the way you want.

But I want that sort of part.

If Major Kururugi turns out to be no good,
we'll just look for the next Devicer.

Be careful! A Knightmare that
enters the field will shut down.

Understood.

Not bad.

Ohgi? It's me.

! ero! Thank God!

Hm? Minami? Where's Ohgi?

He's been sh*t! We're treating him,
but he's unconscious.

And the culprit's still...

All right, you'll do.
Where's the girl in the wheelchair?

Um, doesn't Ohgi come first?

I'll arrange a replacement later!
The girl in the wheelchair comes first!

Replacement?!

Confirm her location!
Hurry!

All the students we had
confined disappeared.

In the confusion
when Ohgi was sh*t...

Lelouch! Sorry, but I'm kinda busy.

Is Nunnally there with you?!

She's in the clubhouse.
We're a short distance away.

Understood!

Hey! Where are you?!

I can't get through to
Nunnally or even Sayoko!

Lelouch, I'm your accomplice.
Your ally.

So, I should just trust you? The word of
a woman who won't give me the reason?

I don't want you to die.
That part is true!

Hmpf! That's just
one-sided convenience!

Squad , enemy aircraft!

Synch fire and sh**t it down!

Roger! Tracking enemy... Fire!

I see them... I see them...

Wh- What the hell is it?!

C- Captain Kagezaki!

Zero! ZERO!!!

Cannon fodder!
I don't have time to fool with you!

C. C! Pop out on th street!

Speaking of one-sided
convenience!

You can't hit me!
Not Jeremiah Gottwald!

Wrong, my dear Orange.
You're being hit right now.

Coward!
You strike from behind?

Be smashed, you relic!

All right,
now to get to Nunnally.

Oh... That's a solid hatch!

If only we had a
rotating cutting blade.

Tamaki, what do we do
with these ones?

Lock them in the dorms or
the gym with the other students?

Students?

Call Zero!

I guarantee Zero will protect us!
If he doesn't, something's wrong!

He's done it all along...

Shut up!
I know Zero better than anyone!

He wouldn't hesitate
at a time like this!

Stop!

Oh, what's this?
You'll come out to help Brits, huh?

Suzaku...

All we want is the white helmet.

A traitor like you
can die right here!

Wha?!

Arthur!

g*dd*mn cat!
Screw this! k*ll 'em all!

Evening, folks!

Retreat! Retreat for now!

Impossible! The Earl of Pudding
came out to the front lines?!

Rakshata... I thought it was you.

Now!

Gotcha!

Stop, you!

Well, Miss Cécile?
How are the test parts working out?

Looks like we can put them to use.

It's back!

Open your filler cover.
I'll exchange energy with you.

Right! But Miss Cecile,
why did you come out here, too?

Why did we, Lloyd?

We just came to take back the Lancelot!
And do a few other things.

They're Sutherland parts,
but they should work.

Right. It's cleared the
compatibility check.

All right, leave this place to us.
You go after! ero!

Thank you. Protect Ashford
Academy and everyone here!

Understood.
My fiancée is here too, after all.

"Royal private?"

K-Kururugi...?

Viceroy Cornelia?!

Damn their tenacity!
Just what you'd expect of Cornelia's elite!

Tohdoh! I'm leaving all operations
from here on in your hands!

Ohgi's been wounded,
so have Diethard assume his duties!

"Leaving" them to me?
What do you mean?!

There's something else
that I have to do!

I will not respond to any
more communications from you!

W- Wait! What else could possibly
be more important in this situation?!

Squad , wiped out!

What?!

Keep calm! You're safe,
so wait your turn! Youngest students first!

We gotta fall back for now!

Destroy any data you can't take!

Hurry! Hurry!

This... this battle situation
has turned to my side's favor...

Am I clear? Do all you can to hide
the fact that I've been wounded.

It'll just upset them...
Guilford...

And the Glaston Knights...

However...
You're the only one I can tell...

Don't talk anymore.

Kamine Island...
That's where Zero's headed.

Any more than that...
It's no use. I can't remember.

Geass!

You're Euphy's knight, aren't you?

Then go and clear
her dishonored name!

Y- Yes!

This may be a little informal,
but I dub thee Knight of Honor of Britannia.

You are now knight
in both name and title.

Now go, Suzaku Kururugi!

Yes, Your Highness!

What? Zero's disappeared?

No, he's just transferred
command to us on-site here.

Right.

Why?! Why now, of all times?!

Why was Ohgi sh*t?!
Where the hell is Zero?!

I said I don't know!

Can't you contact him?!

He had no reason
to run away, and yet...

As good as Tohdoh is,
if we don't know the overall situation...

Zero, what should I do?

K-Kallen...

Ohgi! Are you all right?!

Yeah... Anyway, Kallen...
Go after Zero!

There must be... a reason...
he's acting this way...

Save him...! ero...

The one who will realize...
Naoto's dream...

But how do I find him?!

You should see him soon...

That's... Lancelot! What would be
drawing him away from here?

Rakshata...
Heard a transmission...

Understood!

Supply corps!
Send a captured air transport to me!

Top priority!

Dammit! Can't we at least
hold this place?!

It's just till the students
are all aboard. Hang in there.

Understood.

Why am I reading a thermal
reaction in there?!

A Knightmare!

What's that relic doing here?

The Ganymede...

Nina!

Oh, hell! Cease fire!
Black Knights, you, too!

Huh?

A temporary truce!
We can't fire on that thing!

Everyone, do what he says!
Cease fire!

If it's got Lloyd that
panicked, then!

Nina, did you complete it?

There wasn't time to test it.
I don't know if it'll explode.

But still, I...

Nina, what do you mean, "explode?!"

It's dangerous! Stay back!

If her theory is correct,

that thing may destroy
the entire Tokyo settlement.

That's imposs...

Believe it!
She's even used Sakuradite in it!

Zero... Where is Zero? Tell me.
Princess Euphemia will be avenged!

WHERE IS ZERO?!!!

If Nunnally is lost,
what have I been fighting for till now?!

What's the point of this
w*r of independence?

Why did Euphy
have to be sacrificed?!

I can see Kamine Island now.

I'm taking Nunnally back,
no matter who tries to stop me!

CODE GEASS
Lelouch of the Rebellion

CODE GEASS
Lelouch of the Rebellion

I figured it was here.
Is this place somehow related to you?

I don't know this place.

Meaning there are others like it?

Does the one who took
Nunnally have a Geass power?

I don't know that much.

It's the truth.

I'll believe you.
At the very least, we're still accomplices.

Thank you.

What is it?!

I see! This is!

What?!

Calm down! This is a trap set for intruders.
The one who activated it is...

What is this? The past?

C. C! No... But!

Who are you?!

Stop it...

STOP IT!!!

C. C... Are these your?

All I have left are my
memories as a witch.

I don't know if I was
ever human to begin with.

All the people who have hated me or
who have treated me with kindness...

They've all vanished
into the flow of time.

Within the endless flow of eternity,
I am all alone.

You're not alone!

We're accomplices.

If you're a witch,
then I can be a warlock.

That's a hell of a thing to say
at a time like this.

C.C., are you all right?

Who do you think you're talking to?

Zero! It is I!

Now, repent!

You stubborn fool!

The point that Cornelia
damaged before!

The Hadron Cannon only
has one sh*t left!

My magnificent vengeance!

Makeshift, one-sh*t, and impudent!

Leave him to me!
You go after Nunnally!

But, we're out of energy!

I'll be okay!

Actually, I'm a little nervous.

Win, Lelouch.
Over your own past.

And over the outcome of your actions.

C.C., don't die!

Who are you talking to?

You have a point.

I've found you!

You're not who I'd choose
to commit su1c1de with, but...

Hold the line!
Victory is within sight!

Dammit, we can't hold out!

If we don't hurry,
the enemy reinforcements will arrive!

What should we do?!

Inoue...

Where the hell is Zero?!

All forces, charge!
We'll crush the rebels with one blow!

Fight to your last breath!
No matter what!

If they break through here,
our forces will collapse completely!

It's not that Tohdoh isn't
as good a m*llitary leader.

But he lacks the charisma
which! ero possesses!

Even so, to have come this far,
and now we're!

Master! ero,
have you really abandoned us?

Have you abandoned Japan?

Their trap at the entrance
was to buy time.

Was I the target?
Or was it C.C.?

No matter. First thing to do
is make sure Nunnally is all right.

Turn and face me. Slowly.

Dammit! Now, of all times!

Didn't you hear me, Zero?

Turn and face me. Slowly.

Euphemia arbitrarily m*rder*d innocent
Japanese people. You'd fight for a woman like...

That Geass power of yours
is very convenient, isn't it?

You get to hide in the shadows
while others take all the blame.

An arrogant coward.
That's your true nature.

Kallen!

Don't you want to know
Zero's true identity, too?

What are you saying now?!

You also have a right
to bear witness.

Wait!

How? Why?!

I didn't want to believe it.

L- Lelouch is?

Yes, I'm Zero.

The man who leads the Black Knights,
who challenges the Holy Britannian Empire,

and who holds the
entire world in his hand.

You used us Japanese...
You used me?!

Japan will be freed as a result.
You've nothing to complain about, surely.

I should have
arrested you sooner.

You realized it was me?

I wasn't sure,
so I kept denying it to myself.

I wanted to believe in you.

But you were lying to us.
To me, to Euphy... Even to Nunnally!

Yes, and now Nunnally's
been kidnapped!

Suzaku, can't we have a temporary truce?!
I want your help to save Nunnally!

There's nothing you
and I can't accomplish!

Don't be a fool!

You should have joined up
with Euphy first!

If you and Euphy and joined forces,
the world could have been!

That's all in the past! It's done!

The past?!

You k*lled your own father, didn't you?!

You can find time for regrets later!

No, you're hopeless!

What?

In the very end, you'd betray the
entire world, like it's betrayed you!

I can't let your dream
be realized!

You fool! You think ideals alone
can change the world?!

Then go on!
sh**t me if you're going to!

And sh**t this
liquid Sakuradite, too!

If my heart stops, it'll explode!
You both will die with me!

Damn you!

I'll make a deal with you.

Who told you about Geass?
Did they take Nunnally?!

Nothing that happens now
is any of your business!

Your very existence is a mistake!

You have to be removed from the world!
I'll take care of Nunnally!

SUZAKU!

LELOUCH!
