Code Geass - Zero's Rebirth (IC)

[Shingaku]

The Zero Requiem Has ended. Nunnally was given the Britannian Throne. Kallen, assumed leadership, of the Black Knights, upon Zero once again, vanishing into the shadows. 22 years have passed. Britannia and japan, now share a some what stable friendship, more only from the friend ship of each respective factions leaders, Nunnally and Kallen. Over these 22 years, Japan has been rebuilt, leaving only the site of the First F.L.E.I.J.A. warhead, as a memorial to all of the lives lost, to liberate Japan. The end of the Zero Requiem, is Celebrated, with it's own Holiday, known as 'The World's Requiem', and is celebrated worldwide. A Ceremony is held, every year, host By Britannia's 100th Empress Nunnally, and Leader of the Black Knights, Kallen. Every year, Both of these political titans, gives a speech, commemorating those, who gave there lives. As payment, to those who did give their lives, to liberate Japan, Every year, A Knightmare, of one War Hero, Decided at random, is reconstructed, to offer tribute to that Pilot, as well as a symphony piece is created to be played during the ceremonial speech, to commemorate, the rest of those valiant warriors.

Today, is the day Of the World's Requiem. Many Britannian Nobles often attend, to appear un-biased against the Japanese, for the Empress. The truck, has pulled up, that held the commemorative Knightmare. Nunnally has finished her portion of the speech. "I now turn the next portion, Over to leader of the Black Knights, Kallen Kouzuki." Nunnally Said, before having her wheel chair recede away from the microphone upon the stage. Kallen stood, and approached the microphone, it raising on its own to meet her. "To begin with, i would Like to Commemorate our next War Hero, the Enigmatic Liberator, ZERO. Although he survived Till the end of the Zero Requiem, by killing the tyrant Lelouche Vi Britannia, and thus securing world peace, and then providing assistance in the Revival of the World, before his mysterious disappearance Ten years ago, The world was at a loss, from the assumed death of a great war hero, We Bring forth this Knightmare, A replica of ZERO's personal Knightmare, the-"

Just at that moment, a large smoke screen, which quickly rose up into the sky, surrounding the entire truck housing the Commemorative Knightmare, as Mechanical noises were heard from within the Smoke cloud, as Sounds, of some machine turned on, and then a shock wave of air, began dissipating the column of smoke, as Suddenly a Knightmare flew out of the top of the smoke Stack, before Flying straight out into the center of the F.L.E.I.J.A. site, before turning around to show it's true form.

Just then, a voice came from the Knightmare, amplified through to speaker system of the Ceremony. "Assumed Death? Do you think something as trivial as 'Death' is something that would stop one such ZERO?"

Kallen and Nunnally wore faces of confusion, all through the Knightmares appearance. "What the- That's Not- Who the Hell are you! And what is that Knightmare?!" Kallen asked, astounded that a Knightmare that had never before been seen, now stood in front of the World.

"Do you not recognize my voice, Kallen? You, who aided me, from the very beginning, has forgotten me, in such a short time?" The Knightmare spoke. Just then, the cockpit opened up, as Zero stepped out, to stand atop His Knightmare. "World, Know this! Your 'Hero' ZERO, Has RETURNED!" Zero announced, flaring out his cape in a dramatic fashion.

Nunnally and Kallen were astounded. The one man, they had thought dead, for the past ten years, assuming he would never return, now stood before them, atop a new Knightmare, addressing the world, as he once did before, in the Very beginning, upon announcing the creation of the Black Knights. Nunnally seemed on the brink of tears, a mix of confusion, shock, and happiness, across her face, as Kallen's face suddenly became a visage of rage. "Yooouuu...."

Just then, a Knightmare that had been guarding the platform where Nunnally and Kallen stood, an Akatsuki model Black Knight Knightmare suddenly charged at the King Arthur. Zero simply slowly stepped back into his Knightmare, as suddenly, from the base of the Crater, Another Knightmare frame errupted up from the ground and flew straight up, seemingly faster than the Guren Seiten Eight Elements, to simply wrap it's arms around the Knightmare, about 75 meters away fro the King arthur, and a Hundred meters away from where Kallen and Nunnally stood atop the Platform.

The Akatsuki pilot began spitting out obscenities, as his Knightmare was suddenly held in place by this new curiously shaped Knightmare, When Zero interrupted him as well. "World, hear me, and hear me well. I have found the hiding sight of the Damocles, along with it's storehouse of Fleija Warheads, and have mastered the power of the Fleija." Just then, the King Arthur drew a semi rifle shaped weapon from the back of it's hip, as it extended to it's full length, and aimed the Gun at the pair of Knightmares. "Witness my power. Bastion, you serve your King well, in your duties as Rook." Just then, The King Arthur fired the weapon, as a small missile flew, to hit the Bastion i n the back. At that moment, a large pink sphere instantly enveloped both Knightmares. "Witness, My control of Fleija." As suddenly, the sphere suddenly shrunk, followed by a shock wave of air, from the explosion, of this sphere. "World. You have just witnessed, the first launch, of the Mini-Fleija." ZERO announced, as the smoke cleared, to Reveal the mysterious Knightmare, the Bastion still floating, completely and utterly unscathed from the Fleija, where as the Akatsuki Knightmare, is nowhere to be seen. "Witness this example, of My power. And Bow, before your New Ruler And King, ZERO!" Zero announced, The King Arthur raised its arms, as ZERO would with an announcement of such magnitude, that would Shake the foundation of the world.

Kallen's face was one of utter disbelief. Not only, had Zero returned, He arrived, with not one, but two, completely knew Knightmare's along with a weapon of such accurate but devastating power, as well as A Knightmare that could be at the very core of a Fleija explosion, and come out completely unfazed, It was just all too much for her to accept and understand. "You... You are Not ZERO!!!" Kallen screamed at the Knightmares.

"Kallen, ask yourself this; Who else, has the mind, to plan, arrange and execute, a plan, such as this? I, for one, find your lack of Faith disturbing." Zero then began to slowly spin, addressing the rest of the camera's surrounding the Fleija Site. "World, I, ZERO, have returned, Now the Master of Fleija, and soon, ruler of those who wish to serve, and eradicator of those who oppose. I will eradicate this world if I must. However, not all shall face the wrath of Fleija. Those, who come to serve me, shall be spared from Fleija, and will live to see a new world order!" Just then, The King Arthur turned back to Kallen and Nunnally, and put it's hand out, as if offering a hand, just to Clench it's fist. "WORLD. ZERO commands you: KNEEL... Or DIE." Just then, Both Knightmares flew off into the distance, past all the Knightmares who guarded the perimeters range before they could react.

Kallen glared in the direction, that the Knightmares flew off in. "Nunnally... We face something, once more... This time though... It is a far worse opponent, than mere Fleija..."

(As Such, I Announce the IC up, and you may all post your characters reactions these turn of events, however, you must have your characters action take place, after the Knightmares Of Zero have flown off. I hope, again, you all enjoy this new and exciting RP; ZERO's Rebirth.)

[MULTIMEDIAMAN]

Colonel Sato was waiting in his Knightmare frame outside the World's Requiem, watching the ceremony take place on his combat monitor. He was chief of security for the event, and it was his battle group's job to ensure that nothing terrible happened to anybody present, Britannian or otherwise. Empress Nunnally had done a significantly well job of reshaping the form of the Britannian Empire, as her father and brother had both been tyrannical dictators. Nunnally, while still an absolute ruler, was much less harsh on those she ruled. She had returned Japan to a sovereign nation, and to Colonel Takeru Sato of the Black Knights, that made her the best Imperial ruler he'd ever seen.

Sato forced his Knightmare frame to an alert position, calling out to his comrades as the King Arthur appeared. "Everybody, prepare to get in there and fight! We-" He stopped short as the Knightmare claimed to be Zero, his combat monitor changing to focus on the King Arthur, and the newly arrived Bastion. He watched in terror as Zero claimed to posses the powers of Fleija. He'd witnessed its use first hand, and was horrified that his leader would stoop so low and use such a vile weapon. Until he did, and the Bastion stood intact, only the Knightmare frame it had subdued being destroyed. It was...amazing. This truly was Zero, the same Zero he'd served for a decade.

As Kallen screamed at Zero, decrying him as a fake, Sato curled his fist in anger, his Knightmare doing the same. If this wasn't Zero, who was it? Lelouch had been killed in front of their very eyes, and he was perhaps the only other person capable of such genius, aside from his brother Schneizel, who had created the Damocles. However, Schneizel was clearly not Zero, as the two had been seen together on hundreds of occasions. Bringing up his communications, he called to Kallen. "Commander Kouzuki, there's no way that isn't Zero! He's the only one with the knowledge to do this sort of thing! He got past all of our defenses without a hitch, and that Knightmare....who else could it be?!"

Just then, the King Arthur flew overhead, and Sato turned to look at it. It was a marvelous piece of art. His mini-Fleija cannon was proof enough for the Colonel. This was Zero. The man who had brought about the liberation of Japan. "Commander...we have to listen to him. We're the Black Knights. We were made specifically to serve Zero. We have to follow him."

[Supreme Command]

(sorry i feel very uninspired today, but be assured, a one paragraph will not be a standard.)

Jason sitting in his families other house in Japan, where he sat watching the TV which broadcasted the World's Requiem, everything went according to how it usually went, untill they hade brought the recreation of ZERO's own knightmare, as this happened, Jason sitting in the couch infront of the large screen tv started to take his right hand and covered his eyes untill he would stop seeing ZERO's personal machine, since afterall he hated no one more then ZERO, however once he heard ZERO's OWN VOICE, Jason quickly widend his eyes with rage as he removed his hands from his face. ''ZERO!'' he screamed into the empty house which he was the only inhabitant as of the moment, however guarded by bodyguards outside of the house. He repedietly started yelling zeros name, with the most rage. by now he stood infront of the large tv screen, with a clenched fist and a glass of water in his left hand, which he tried to squeeze asunder his hand also shaked unbelivably, his eyes filled with rage and blood filled, his eyes fully opened.

[Shingaku]

Nunnally held her hands in her lap, trying to stop them from shaking, the reappearance of the one calling himself Zero, bringing back so many memories of her brother, and everything he did for the world, and then, of the Zero that followed, whose identity was never revealed, even after he vanished. now, this new Zero had appeared, and had such a drastically different approach to the world, than the other two. Was this Zero the Same zero, as the one after the Zero Requiem? Or was this Zero, as Kallen had claimed him to be, a simple fake, hoping for world domination, and simply using the name and face of Zero, to get followers quickly? Nunnally couldn't get all her thoughts straight, as her face had whitened from the anxiety brought from so many memories.

Kallen was likewise emotionally shook, but not so much from confusion. No, she was more shook, from her anger, at the fact that some scumbag, was defacing the name of Zero, by now playing some would-be tyrant, seeking world domination. "Colonel Sato, I can personally guarantee you, that that bastard, was not Zero. Yes, he may be intelligent, maybe as intelligent as Zero, to have been able to pull a publicity stunt like that. But listen up." Just then, Kallen re-approached the microphone. "World, hear ME, now. I will personally guarantee you, that that Zero, we just witnessed, is an impostor; Not the Zero, we all know, and revere. Zero Never sought world Domination to begin with. Zero sought, to free, and liberate Japan, even by executing the Tyrant, Lelouche Vi Britannia, and by positioning his caring and loving sister, Nunnally Vi Britannia, as Empress of Britannia, Knowing such a move, would position her and I, later to be made Commander of the Black Knights, allies, to restore the world. I claim this Zero an impostor, and any and all, who decides to side with him, will become neither Japanese, nor Britannian, and will be considered an enemy, of the world!" Kallen announced. "World, we must unite, and rid this world, of this fake Zero, this impostor, who seeks to defile not only the world, with tyranny, once again, but seeks to defile the Legendary Name; Zero! Japan! Will you allow some scumbag, to defile the name, of your savior!? I for one, will not! I will stand stead fast, even in the face of Fleija, once again, to secure, peace, for the entire world!" Kallen then Turned around to Nunnally, as many of the Japanese citizens attending cheered at her speech. "Empress Nunnally Vi Britannia, Will you, and your nation, stand by Japan, and assist in ridding this world, of this Impostor of Zero, to secure world Peace?" She asked, sticking out her hand to Nunnally.

Nunnally took the hand Kallen offered, and smiled slightly, as she rolled up to the Microphone. "Britannian Nobles, whether attending this celebration in person, or in spirit, I have this to say. I appreciate The first's Zero's actions, to free Japan from what was at the time, a tyrannical government, And I also admire the efforts, of the Zero who appeared, at the end of the Zero Requiem, who aided in the Restoration of the World. I have grown, admiring Zero's Actions, and as such, i understand the true meaning of Zero." Her face seemed to lighten. "It is the name, that one who seeks to end strife, and bring about peace, and prosperity, may wear... However, this latest Zero, who seeks to cause strife and conflict, among the world, is not fit to bear that name, in the Slightest." She declared, her face turning to a frown. "As Such, Britannia, I, Empress Nunnally Vi Britannia, Now Pledge, to the Commander of the Black Knights, that we will assist, in ridding the world of this impostor, once and for all, before he has the chance to defile the wonderful Name: ZERO!" Nunnally Called, raising her fist into the air, as kallen held her other hand, and also raised her free hand as well. "World, We will rid you of this pestilence, that will from hence forth, be known as 'Neo-Zero', to differentiate this Impostor, from the beloved Zero we all revere!" She declared.

As such, again, many Japanese started chanting, "Down with The Fake!" Over and over. A few Britannian nobles began cheering as well, but most simply clapped and nodded, to keep up appearances.

Akashi Marconis, was one of the few Britannian Nobles who began chanting along with the rest of the Japanese crowd, as tribute to his Japanese blood, flowing through his veins. Akashi had been attending the World's Requiem from the beginning, as such, had witnessed the entirety of 'Neo-Zero's' Publicity stunt. he had to admit, it had been perfectly Executed, down to even the second Knightmares interception, for the demonstration of the Mini-Fleija. Akashi only wished he had his secret personal Knightmare made of whatever material the Bastion had been made of, so he could pull stunts such as that. However, being a Knightmare pilot at his core, he was enthused at the fact he would get to launch into combat, in his Knightmare. At that thought, Akashi redoubled his efforts at chanting.
