The mysterious Zero

Although Jeremiah did not know who Zero was, it did not stop him from capturing him because Zero's current words and actions were enough to identify him as a terrorist.

Without hesitation, Jeremiah immediately ordered Knightmare to surround Zero.

Seeing Knightmare surrounding him, Zero did not show any panic and snapped his fingers as a code to open the box that covered the round object that the Britannian soldiers suspected was poison gas.

When Jeremiah saw the object, he immediately thought that Zero was going to use poison gas to threaten him. Currently, many Britannians had gathered to watch the scene, if Zero used the poison gas, then many Britannians would die here and Jeremiah did not dare to act rashly.

Suzaku tried to speak to tell Jeremiah that it was not poison gas but he could not speak because his neck had been fitted with a device that prevented him from speaking.

"Captain, are we going to act now?" Ray asked the captain.

Among the Britannian crowd, three people from Infinite Space were mingling among the crowd.

"Not now, if we take action now to make some actions that make it difficult for Zero and then help him then he will be suspicious of us" the captain shook his head to reject Ray's proposal.

The Britannians present were still discussing what device Zero was carrying curiously without knowing that they had become hostages.

Jeremiah who was a little panicked immediately raised the gun in his hand and aimed at Zero.

"Are you going to shoot me?. I think you know if you try to do it." Zero said calmly while giving a code to Kallen who was driving the car to approach.

"Okay. What do you ask?"

Jeremiah who still thought that the lives of the Britannians were at stake immediately lowered his gun and asked what Zero wanted.

"An exchange, I want Kururugi Suzaku." Zero stated the conditions he wanted.

"Impossible!" Jeremiah rejected Zero's request firmly.

"This person is under arrest for killing Prince Clovis! I can't hand him over!"

"No, you're wrong, Jeremiah" Zero denied Jeremiah's statement about the murder of Clovis by Suzaku.

"He's not the culprit. The one who killed Clovis is... me"

Zero immediately admitted that he was the one who killed Clovis without any fear while he was still surrounded by the Knightmare.

"What?"

"He did it?"

Many people were shocked by Zero's statement and started discussing it.

"For an Eleven, you will save many Britannian lives. I don't think that's a bad deal for you"

Not paying attention to the discussions around him, Zero continued to speak calmly as their car got closer.

"You're crazy. Disguising a truck with my master's car and mocking us. We have to teach him a lesson" with Jeremiah's order, the Knightmare immediately raised their weapons.

"Are you sure about this?, do you want the Britannian people to know something about oranges?"

Zero said calmly without paying attention to the knightmare's weapons that were ready to shoot at any time.

"What orange?"

"I don't know"

Many discussions broke out among the many people who heard about the orange that Zero was referring to.

Because there was a reporter who dared to approach the place to get news and record this incident, not only the Britannians near them heard it, but everyone who watched the incident on television also heard it. So you can imagine how much Jeremiah hated Zero because of his random words that caused him to be ridiculed by everyone.

"If I die, then everyone will know about Orange. Let us go with all your strength. The captive too" said Zero immediately ordering Jeremiah with Geass without anyone realizing it.

"Okay. Let them go" Under the control of Geass, Jeremiah immediately ordered to let Zero and the others go.

"Sir Jeremiah, what did you just say?!"

Many people were confused by Jeremiah's unexpected order.

"Give the captive and let them have it! No one is allowed to interfere!" Jeremiah repeated his order clearly.

Many people tried to stop Jeremiah, but because of the order they could only obey.

After getting Suzaku, Zero immediately pressed the button that opened the round object that was suspected to be poison gas. Chaos immediately ensued as billowing smoke came out of the object.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Zero immediately jumped with Kallen while holding Suzaku before falling into the waiting carriage.

....

"Ray, your job is to infiltrate Britannia and try to increase your military rank quickly, while I and Niel will infiltrate the black knights to approach Lelouch" the captain ordered Ray before parting ways.

After Lelouch landed and prepared to leave, a Knightmare attacked the train and made it difficult to stop.

Seeing this, Lelouch did not hesitate to stop the Knightmare's time before ordering Ohgi to continue driving.

.....

The train soon entered the Shinjuku Ghetto before stopping.

"It seems they treated you very harshly. Now you know Kururugi Suzaku. Britannia is rotten. If you want to change the world, then join me!"

After arriving at an abandoned building in the Shinjuku Ghetto, Zero immediately spoke privately with Suzaku and immediately offered Suzaku to join him while Kallen and Ohgi gathered with the other resistance forces.

"Did you really kill Prince Clovis?" Suzaku stared at Zero sharply and asked without answering Zero's question.

"This is war. It is only right to kill the enemy's leader" Zero said acknowledging Suzaku's question.

"What about poison gas and hostages?" Suzaku asked angrily when he thought about how Zero had previously taken Britannia's citizens as hostages.

"It was just a trick for an exchange. And the result was that no one was killed" Zero replied calmly without feeling anything wrong with his approach. It was as Zero said that in war, some things had to be done and Zero's method was already a good solution where no one was killed.

It's just that even though according to Zero it was a natural thing, for Suzaku who was an idealist, it was unacceptable.

"The result?... right. It all depends on you." Suzaku said while lowering his head.

Hearing Suzaku's words, Zero thought Suzaku had agreed with him, so he made another invitation to him.

"Then join me and defeat Britannia, the Britannia you serve is a truly pathetic country"

"That may be true, but I can change it into a better country!, from within Britannia"

Too bad the stubborn and idealistic Suzaku still refused Zero's invitation.

After rejecting Zero's invitation, Suzaku immediately turned around to return to the court.

"Wait, where are you going?" Zero shouted at Suzaku who was walking away.

"The trial will begin in an hour. If I don't return, then Britannia will definitely oppress Eleven and the honorary Britannian citizens." Suzaku replied without looking back.

"Are you crazy. The trial was made to make you guilty, be it the judges, the prosecutor or the defense!"

Zero shouted angrily at Suzaku who was acting unreasonable.

"Even so, that is the rule" Suzaku replied without looking back.

Seeing Suzaku leave, Lelouch who was behind Zero's mask was annoyed at Suzaku's stubborn and stupid actions.
