Code Geass > 3. The False Classmate
The date was August 10 in the year 2010 of the Imperial calendar.
The Holy Britannian empire had just declared war upon Japan.
Confronted by Britannia's newest weapon, the formidable Knightmare frame, Japan fell to its enemy in less than a month.
The conquered nation was stripped of its freedom, rights, culture, and dignity.
Finaly, even its name was taken away.
11.
The name of Japan and its people was replaced with a mere number.

Britannian Army: Why the hell are we letting the Elevens go? What about the poison gas they've stolen?
Britannian Army: But it's by order of Prince Clovis.
Britannian Army: What about Bartley? Get the general staff on the line.
Britannian Army: They're not at their posts, sir.
Britannian Army: Are you telling me Prince Clovis is alone on the con?
Clovis: I'm overjoyed, Lelouch.
They said you died when Japan was brought into the fold.
What a blessing to have you back.
We should depart for the homeland immediately.

Lelouch: So you can use me as a tool of diplomacy?
It seems you've forgotten why we were used as tools in the first place.
That's right. It was because my mother was killed.
Mother held the title of knight of honor but was a commoner by birth. No doubt the other imperial consorts held her in contempt.
Even though you made it look like the work of terrorists, I'm no fool.
You people killed my mother.

Clovis: It wasn't me. I swear to you it wasn't.
Lelouch: Then tell me everything you know. The truth cannot be hidden from me any longer.
By whose hand was she slain?
By whose hand was she slain?
Clovis: My brother second prince Schneizel and second princess Cornelia, they can tell you.
Lelouch: They were at the heart of this? That's all that you know, isn't it.
Clovis: I swear it wasn't me. I had nothing to do with it.
Lelouch: I believe you. However--
Clovis: Please, you can't! We may have different mothers but you and I are still blood.
Lelouch: You can't change the world without getting your hands dirty.
Milly: Wake up Lelouch! I know you were sleeping. Your hands stopped moving.
Lelouch: Well, you don't have to beat me up over it, do you?
Rivalz: Huh, serves you right for ditching me like that.
Shirley: That's right. What was up with you yesterday?
Lelouch: Um well...
Milly: That's enough, you guys. Let's not get side tracked here.
If we don't come up with a fix for the club activities budget, there won't be money left for anything at all.
If we don't come up with a fix for the club activities budget, there won't be money left for anything at all.
Nina: And if it comes to that point...
Rivalz: The equestrian club will be pissed. We don't want 'em comin' in here on horse back.
Milly: Rivalz, can't you be a more serious student council member?
Shirley: You know, it would have been nice of you if you would have reminded us about this mess a day ago.
Rivalz: I would have to say a day later. Then we would have given up.
Lelouch: Good idea. We can still do that.
Milly: GUTS!!
Rivalz: Are you trying that guts spell again?
Milly: Yeah, I want you people to start putting your all into this.
Lelouch: I really don't think that your magic's gonna do a whole lot.
Shirley: Actually it's got me going, Madam President.
Milly: Supple and willing, that's what I like.
Shirley: I train hard in the gymnastics club.
Milly: That's not what I was getting at. You're a ten.
Shirley: Huh?
Milly: From what I've seen in the girls' bathroom anyway, you've been filling out in all the right places, huh.
Rivalz: Heh, heh,
Shirley: What, what are you talking about, you perv?
Shirley: Geez, our president's just a dirty old man on the inside. Sullying the meeting with her filthy mind.
Nina: Yeah well, that's Millie for you.
Rivalz: Look on the bright side. We got the budget balanced, didn't we?
Student: They used poison gas?
Student: Man, that's freaky.
Student: Shinjuku's only thirty minutes from here.
Student: Oh my god! I saw smoke rising over in Shinjuku, it must have been the gas.
Student: Are they saying anything else about it?
Shirley: Shinjuku?
Lelouch: I heard about it in real time from a friend. That's why I called you yesterday.
Student: Hey, check out the footage of those dead Elevens.
Student: Oh! Don't look at that!
Lelouch: This is strange. Why would they cover it up?
Ugh-
Ugh-
Lelouch: Are they hiding Clovis's death to fend off anarchy?
But if that's the case, when they finally do announce it...
Humph, I guess that I'm not as tough as I thought I was.

Jeremiah: That ex-civil servant is such a fool.
Villetta: So are you referring to Bartley?
Jeremiah: The killer has breached our heaviest security twice already.
This perfunctory inspection is a farce.
This perfunctory inspection is a farce.
Villetta: Margrave Jeremiah, now that Prince Clovis is out of the way, we pure bloods can...
Jeremiah: Let me make that call. We still need to woo everyone over.
Student: Kallen! It's been ages!
Student: Are you all right? Sophie's been worried sick all this time.
Student: You're okay though, right?
Kallen: Yeah, I just have to go easy for a little while.
Lelouch: Of course. That's why she's so familiar.
Kallen: Anyway, if I stay home any longer I'll never catch up.
Rivalz: What's up, buddy? See something you like? You've got a thing for her, don't ya!
Lelouch: Just thinking this a rare event. She hasn't been here at school since this whole term started.
Rivalz: Kallen Stadtfeld. They say she's sick or somethin', and she barely showed up at school last year either.
Still, her grades are at the top of the class.
And she's a member of the Stadtfeld family, which means she's well-bred and rolling in money.
Man, you sure know how to pick 'em.

Lelouch: It's not like that.
Rivalz: Aah, you don't have to hide it. A touch too sheltered though, if you ask me.
Student: Aaaaah! There's a bee! A bee!
Student: Oh my God. Kallen, run!
Student: Hurry up and run!
Kallen: I don't get it, why is a bee after me?
Hm? I wonder if there's a hive nearby...
God, I hate this! I'm sick of acting like a freakin' invalid!
Crap, he saw me...
Hm? I wonder if there's a hive nearby...
God, I hate this! I'm sick of acting like a freakin' invalid!
Crap, he saw me...
Lelouch: There's no question, it's her.
Kallen: Can I help you or something?
Lelouch: I want answers.
Kallen: Of course.
Lelouch: Were you the one piloting the Glasgow in Shinjuku?
Kallen: Yes.
Lelouch: Why terrorism?
Kallen: Because I'm Japanese. Though technically I'm half Britannian.
Lelouch: Half blood? But why go so far?
Kallen: Um, did you want something?
Lelouch: No. I got what I wanted here.
Oh, wait. Just to be sure.
Don't tell anyone about Shinjuku.
Oh, wait. Just to be sure.
Don't tell anyone about Shinjuku.
Kallen: What do you mean, about Shinjuku? Why would you say that?
Lelouch: Go back to class.
Kallen: As soon as I get an answer to my question, I will.
Lelouch: It's not working? What's going on here?
Shirley: Hey, Lulu! Kallen!
You know, it's time to head over to the chem lab!
You'd better get a move on!
You know, it's time to head over to the chem lab!
You'd better get a move on!
Lelouch: Oh crap, it's my turn to set up for class!
It didn't work? But...
It didn't work? But...
Sayoko: Well, what shall we do? He may be late again this evening.
Nunnally: I'll wait. He said that we'd have dinner together tonight.
Sayoko: There now. This one's finished.
Nunnally: Ah, a bird?
Sayoko: Yes, it's a crane.
Nunnally: Amazing! The Japanese are so skillful.
Sayoko: Lady Nunnally?
Lelouch: I'm sorry I'm so late.
Nunnally: Hi, Lelouch! Welcome home.
Sayoko: Yes, welcome home, my lord.
Lelouch: No place like it, Sayoko. Right, Nunnally?
Bartley: As you know full well, the project was a complete failure.
Therefore this research division is being gutted.
Therefore this research division is being gutted.
Staff: Wha...? Yes, but--!
Bartley: I've set up a place in Narita for you.
Move everything out there.
While we may have no memory of it, the fact is the other staff officiers and I left Prince Clovis on his own.
I'm gonna be called out on the carpet for this back at home.
When that happens, if His Majesty learns this experiment's got on without his knowledge, I...

Staff: Understood, sir. We'll start prepping immediately.
Nunnally: Miss Sayoko was just teaching me about the art of the origami.
Fold a piece of paper the correct way, you can make birds, boats, almost anything.

Lelouch: Easy there.
You don't have to tell me everything all at once, you know?
It's not like I'm going anywhere.
You don't have to tell me everything all at once, you know?
It's not like I'm going anywhere.
Nunnally: Yeah, you're right. Thank you.
Lelouch: You're very welcome.
Nunnally: I'm so happy, 'cause last night you scared me a little.
Lelouch: Did I? Sorry. I just have a lot on my mind, is all.
Nunnally: Hey, they say, if you fold a thousand of these cranes, your wish'll come true.
So if there's anything at all that you've been wishing for?
So if there's anything at all that you've been wishing for?
Lelouch: No, not really. What about you? Do you wish for anything?
Nunnally: I wish the world was a gentler place.
Lelouch: When the day finally comes that you can see again, I'm sure that it will be.
Nunnally: Really?
Lelouch: I promise.
The truth is there are very few paths our future can take.
The Ashford family is sheltering us for now, but how long can that last?
If our identity is exposed, even Rival, Shirley, and the others will abandon us.
We'll end up political tools, or casualty of royal ambition.
I have to build a world where Nunnally can at least find happiness.

Nunnally: Sayoko taught me this the other day.
It's called a Japanese promise.
Cross my heart, hope to die, eat a thousand needles, if I lie.
Pinky promise song.

Cross my heart, hope to die, eat a thousand needles, if I lie.
Pinky promise song.
Lelouch: Well that's scary. I may have to eat a thousand needles someday.
Nunnally: That's right.
So I'd better not catch you telling lies, okay?
So I'd better not catch you telling lies, okay?
Lelouch: Don't you worry. I'll never lie, I swear.
Not to you anyway.
Not to you anyway.
Lelouch: This is the only weapon I have. And I don't even know how to use it.
Teacher: Lelouch! Class will be starting in a minute, you know.
Lelouch: Oh, yes sir.
Um, sir? What are the topics going to be for the essays on your next exam?
Um, sir? What are the topics going to be for the essays on your next exam?
Teacher: The humiliation of Edinborough, the transfer of the capital, and north and south war topics.
Lelouch: So, I haven't lost the power, then.
Sir? What exactly are the topics going to be for the essays on your next exam?
Sir? What exactly are the topics going to be for the essays on your next exam?
Teacher: Right, very funny. Maybe you should try studying, huh? Just apply yourself, you'll do fine.
Lelouch: Yes, sir!
As I suspected, I can only use it on a person once.

Ohgi: So, how's campus life treating you?
Kallen: Stifling. I was stuck in history class yesterday.
Look, maybe I should just head back.
Look, maybe I should just head back.
Ohgi: The army's on a high alert right now.
Stay there, and let things cool off.
Stay there, and let things cool off.
Kallen: I don't know.
What about the voice on the radio?
What about the voice on the radio?
Ohgi: Can't go looking for a voice.
Besides, Naoto would be happy to see you back in school.
Forget about Shinjyuku for now. I'll be in touch.

Kallen: Shinjyuku...I guess he's right, but...
Lelouch: Don't tell anyone about Shinjyuku.
Kallen: No, it couldn't have been his voice.
Lelouch: The aristocracy was highly educated, with such an emphasis on edification and training, they produced a superior breed of ruler.
And secondly, they possessed heightened efficiency, since only a small number of the very best were carefully chosen from their ranks...
And secondly, they possessed heightened efficiency, since only a small number of the very best were carefully chosen from their ranks...
Kallen: It could be...no, I can't remember well enough to be sure.
Lelouch: All I did was simply mention Shinjyuku, but...
Kallen: If he knows who I really am, then...
Lelouch: At the first opportunity...
Kallen: I need to take care of him.
Bartley: And the research center?
Britannian Army: Transferred to Narita last night.
Bartley: Right then. I pray you forgive me, Your Highness.
Shirley: Hey Lulu, you coming along?
Lelouch: Sorry, maybe some other time.
Student: Yeah, I thought so.
Student: You've gotta go straight home then, huh?
Student: What do you have, a curfew ?
Student: What's up?
Lelouch: You think that you could spare a minute? I need to talk to you.
Kallen: Sure. I was wondering when you were gonna ask.
Jeremiah: I hope you can see how determined we are now.
Bartley: But I've already told you!
Jeremiah: That you don't remember? Still cling to that ridiculous excuse?
Bartley: Just ask the others! They'll testify that... !
Jeremiah: Ducking the blame? You're pathetic! You shan't remain at His Royal Highness's side another minute!
Kallen: I didn't even know this room existed.
Lelouch: It's the club house for the student council. They built as a ballroom for various special occasions.
Kallen: And we won't be disturbed inside here?
Lelouch: Yes, that's correct.
Shirley: Here it is! I found it! Look! This is it, right?
Nina: What a relief you found our lab data.
Rivalz: Good. My ass is killing me.
Milly: Were you able to find it? I finished up on my end, shall we dig in?
Rivalz: Wow!
Shirley: Way to go, Milly!
Milly: You adore me, I know.
Lelouch: Um, what is all of this?
Milly: Lelouch, don't you know?
I thought that's why you brought her.
We're inducting Kallen into the student council.
It was my grandfather's idea, actually.

It was my grandfather's idea, actually.
Lelouch: The principal's?
Milly: He thought it best, with her poor health she'd have a harder time with regular club activities.
Oh, I'm Milly, the president of the council. Pleasure to meet you.
Oh, I'm Milly, the president of the council. Pleasure to meet you.
Kallen: Oh, thank you, the pleasure's all mine.
Rivalz: I'm Rivalz, the secretary.
If there's anything you need to help with, I'm your man.
If there's anything you need to help with, I'm your man.
Shirley: Hi, I'm Shirley. And I'm a member of the swim club. Welcome.
Nina: Hi there, my name's Nina.
Kallen: It's nice to meet all of you.
Nunnally: Shirley, I'm sorry but, do you think you could set these on the table for me?
Shirley: Oh, sure, thanks, Nunna.
Lelouch: Nunnally, what're you doing here?
Milly: This is Lelouch's sister.
Nunnally: I'm still in the middle school group, so I can't be on the council yet.
Rivalz: That's alright. You're an honorary member in our book.
Nunnally: Hello there, it's a pleasure to meet you, Kallen.
Kallen: Thank you. You as well.
Rivalz: Right. Shall we kick this off with a toast?
Shirley: Champagne?
Nina: Yeah, but we're on the student coucil, we shouldn't...
Rivalz: Uh, come on! < Just relax. >
Loosen up, you guys! < It's sparkling cider. >
Loosen up, you guys! < It's sparkling cider. >
Shirley: No way. We're gonna get in trouble! < You swear? Let me see that bottle. >
Nunnally: What's going on?
Milly: Here, Nunnally.
Rivalz: Lelouch! Heads up!
Shirley: Ah...Ah...You aren't getting well with it either, Lulu... < C'mon, Lelou! Let me see that bottle! >
Nunnally: What just happened?
Milly: We have clothes for her?
Shirley: Sayoko's on it.
Kallen: This is why I hate Britanians.
Lelouch: It's Lelouch. I've brought you a change of clothes.
Kallen: You can come in. I've drawn the curtain already.
Lelouch: Sorry about all this. I know they can be a little over the top.
Kallen: That's okay. Nothing wrong with cutting loose every once in a while, you know?
Lelouch: These are some of my clothes. Hope that's okay.
Kallen: It's cool. Don't worry about it.
That was fast. You went all the way to the boy's dorm?
That was fast. You went all the way to the boy's dorm?
Lelouch: Actually, I live here.
It'd be pretty hard for my sister to live off in the dorms.
The principal of the school lets us stay here as a favor.

Kallen: I see...
Lelouch: Anyway...
Kallen: Hey, wait! Can you hand me that pouch over there?
Lelouch: Sure. ...You really are a live-wire, aren't you?
Kallen: Were you the one in Shinjyuku?
Lelouch: What do you mean?
Kallen: Don't play dumb. You brought up Shinjyuku the other day... Why?
Lelouch: Why do you ask? Is there something wrong with Shinjyuku?
Kallen: Don't answer my question with a question. Yes or no, that's all I wanna hear out of you.
Lelouch: If I don't answer it, someone will come. That okay?
Hello? Ashford Academy Student Council. No, this is...
Oh, it's for you. He says he knows you.
Hello? Ashford Academy Student Council. No, this is...
Oh, it's for you. He says he knows you.
Kallen: Hello?
Zero: Glad you still alive, Q1.
Kallen: Was I wrong?
Zero: 16:00, the day after tomorrow. The observation deck at Tokyo Tower. Come alone.
Kallen: Who are you? How did you arrange that cease-fire order?
Hey, don't hang up!
Hey, don't hang up!
Lelouch: Did you say cease-fire? Sounds like you keep dangerous company.
Kallen: Oh, um, that was...
Lelouch: Let me guess... You're talking about a game? Something on-line?
Kallen: Yeah, you got me. 'Cause, you know, I've been shut up in my house so long...
Lelouch: That's what I was warning you about, when I told you not to bring up Shinjyuku before.
Seriously, some guys will try to show you footage of what happened that day and it's pretty damn grim.
By the way, you know I can see you, right?
Um, I won't tell anyone. Later.

Kallen: I was wrong...
Lelouch: The council doesn't require much actual work, I guess.
Beyond occasional paperwork, we'll sometimes plan school events.
Beyond occasional paperwork, we'll sometimes plan school events.
Kallen: So you mean like the cultural festival?
Lelouch: Yep, like that, along with the cross-dressers' ball, the absolute silence party and swim suit day.
Kallen: What's up with that?
Lelouch: Blame our president. You'll be spending a lot of time with her. Hope you're ready.
Nunnally: Lelouch, it's awful.
Lelouch: What is?
Milly: Prince Clovis has been found dead.
Rivalz: They're saying he was killed.
Jeremiah: Prince Clovis has been taken from us.
He fought for peace and justice against all of the Elevens.
He died a martyr.
We must all bury our sorrow, and carry on his will.
