FADE IN:
EXT. ASHFORD ACADEMY - DAYAshford academy is surrounded by a large tinted, bullet proof, glass window styled fence. Thousands of people gather too it watching as the new Emperor of Britannia, Emperor Lelouch vi Britannia. As he walks towards the red headed beauty, Kallen Kozuki, he waves to the crowd that cheers with joy. We see Lelouch and Kallen have a small awkward conversation and head around the back of the academy.
INT. ASHFORD ACADEMY CLUBHOUSE – DAYA sliding door opens into a large foyer and Lelouch follows Kallen into the large room. Kallen says the following as they make there way across the room and half way up the stairs.
KALLEN KOZUKI
If it weren’t for you, we would have died back in the Shinjuku Ghetto. There wouldn’t have been any Black Knights. I was so happy. I’m also honored by the fact that Zero needed me. But I didn’t know what to do…when I found out that Zero was Lelouch…. Even so I watched you fight against Britannia… that same person I now see joined hands with Suzaku. What are you trying to accomplish this time? Do you just want power? Do you want status? Or is it just another game? During the Black Rebellion, Oghi told me to protect you with my life. That you’re the successor of my brother’s dream…Lelouch, what am I to you? Why this grudge against your own country? Tell me Lelouch, tell me, for this might just be…just be….
LELOUCH VI BRITANNIA
The last time we meet…Kallen.
They stare into each others eyes and Kallen starts to form tears and yet Lelouch’s face seems boring and cold. No facial expressions what so ever.
LELOUCH VI BRITANNIA
I guess I’ll have to start from the beginning, won’t I?
CUT TO:Suddenly we see an amazing opening music video play, just like from the anime show, except the video is using live cast. The song playing is RE: MEMBER by FLOW.
CUT TO:INT. BRITANNIAN MANSION – DAYThe glass windows are shot to pieces, glass shards litter the floor. The chandelier hangs by its strands from the ceiling, barely holding on. The stairs leading into the foyer from the second floor is the center of attention. Two guards lay dead at the top of the steps, their blood staining the white rug that falls down the steps elegantly. An older woman lies at the center of the stair, her body litter with bullets holes and in her arms is her daughter, Nunally. Nunally trembles in fear in the arms of her mother and at the top of the steps is a small boy, this is Lelocuh vi Britannia.
FADE OUT TO:INT. THRONE ROOM – DAYTwo large steal doors swing open and the sun enters the dark room. A crowd of wealthier looking people, Britannian’s, stand on both sides of the room and a red carpet stretches own the middle. The Britannian nobles whisper amongst themselves about the young boy who enters and walks down the carpet looking tough and unafraid as he approaches his father. His father, the ruler of Britannia, Emperor Charles la Britannia, sits in his throne on the opposite side of the carpet. Lelouch stands at the end of the hall and stares at his father a little before speaking.
LELOUCH VI BRITANNIA
My lord! My mother is dead.
CHARLES LA BRITNNIA
What of it?
LELOUCH VI BRITANNIA
What of it?!
CHARLES LA BRITANNIA
You sought an audience with the Emperor of Britannia simply to tell me that? Bring in the next supplicant. I haven’t the time to entertain children.
LELOUCH VI BRITANNIA
Father!
Lelouch runs towards his father angrily, but two guards quickly rush in to stop him. They grab him and toss him down the steps, which lead up to the Emperor’s throne. Lelouch falls onto his back, but quickly gets up on one knee. The guards get ready to strike again but the Emperor raises his hand up to stop them.
GUARDS (TOGETHER)
Yes, your Majesty!
The Guards then retreat back to their original positions. Lelouch stands up and stares with deep hatred into his father’s eyes.
LELOUCH VI BRITANNIA
Why didn’t you protect mother? You’re the Emperor, aren’t you? You’re the most powerful man in this country, right? You’ve abandoned us; you never visit Nunally in the hospital!
CHARLE LA BRITANNIA
I have no need for the weak.
LELOUCH VI BRITANNIA
The weak…?
CHARLES LA BRITANNIA
That is the nature of the royal family.
LELOUCH VI BRITANNIA
Then I renounce my title!
The crowd of nobles gasps as Lelouch makes this comment
LELOUCH VI BRITANNIA
I’ve had enough with this country and I don’t want to be your successor anymore! I’m sick of all these petty squabbles over who’ll succeed you father!
CHARLES LA BRITANNIA
You are dead.
LELOUCH VI BRITANNIA
I’m… ?
CHARLES LA BRITANNIA
Dead, you have been dead since the day you were born. Who gave you those clothes you where? Your home? Your food? Even your life! I gave them all to you! You have not lived for a single moment, there for you are dead to me and don’t even deserve the throne. How foolish can you be?!
The Emperor rises from his throne Lelouch, startled, falls back down to his hands and knees.
CHARLES LA BRITANNIA
Lelouch, a dead man has no right. You’ll be going to Japan with Nunally. A Prince and Princess should make great bargaining tools.
