Shizuka Aiyori
Morning dawned on Ashford Academy. In a dorm of a certain student, the television was turned on....
....Citizens are worried for the next World War. Tensions are building with the Chinese Federation. Empress Nunnally is meeting with the Chinese Federation's Ambassador today. Any info on the outcome of this meeting hasn't been disclosed........Furthermore more and more El-I mean Japanese are disappearing. Today the body of a company CEO was discovered in...." The television was shut off abruptly. "Well time for school." Shizuka said nonchalantly and started to get ready for school. She paused at her door and looked around at the dorm. It was empty and she felt a pang of loneliness without seeing her father sending her off with a smile. She pushed it away and stepped out with her thoughts of today. Today would be the start of a new era for Japan. With Brittania's Empress hardly doing anything to aid the Japanese and the so called "Zero" guarding her like an obedient dog, this country would become a battlefield and more would suffer. The Empress is probably doing what she knows is right, but whatever it is. It wasn't helping any of the racism, mistreatment, and illegal abuse towards the Japanese. Shizuka thought as she walked to class. It was up to her and any others who knew this to show Britannia it was time to fear the name of Zero once again. She stopped at the announcement board filled with flyers, photos, and test scores. It was bittersweet to see this. The Student Council was different from everyone....they promoted equality, but sometimes they went a bit over the top and embarrassed some people. She gave a dark look at some of the bikini clad girl's from one of the festivals, including herself, and then let her gaze travel a bit more to the left. A small empty section was left for the weekly unsolvable crossword puzzle, which was only unsolvable because it was in Japanese. Japanese was a require class now, but hardly anyone attempted it. "Looks like the invitation has been sent out." She said under her breath and continued to class. A few more hours to wait.

After School
"Guess I'm early." She said looking around the empty rooftop. She sat on the ground and pulled out a book on military strategies. Hopefully the crossword wasn't to difficult to figure out, it wasn't at all, but still there were just those people....... "Zero's knight's assemble. The time learning ends. Rooftop. " She read off her own crossword and then went back to her book. The book went into every little detail about the Black Rebellion, aka Zero's Battle Plans. In her own opinion it didn't do Zero any justice as it was written from a Britannian strategist's point of view. He pointed out flaws and criticized Zero's use of resources, calling his victories fears of great luck. In her mind they were miracles and her eyes sparkled as she flipped each page taking in every little detail and making notes in the margins. This man was a genius. Little did she know this very meeting was being watched by the one she revered the most.

Another rooftop away, listening through bugs.
"Well Lelouch, what will you do?" A green haired woman asked through a speaker in a voice dripping with boredom. A dark haired man on the other end chuckled. "We wait and see C2. These pieces must prove their worth..." The woman heard the clack of a chess piece being knocked over. "Checkmate."
