Code Geass

[Lelouch has just been granted Geass by C.C. and is planning to use it on the Britannian royal guards who have him cornered.]

Lelouch:
Say... how should a Britannian who detests his own country live his life?

Britannian Royal Guard Commander:
Are you some kind of radical? Huh?

Lelouch:
What's wrong? Why not shoot? Your opponent is just a schoolboy. Or have you finally realized…the only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed!

[Lelouch uncovers his left eye and activates his Geass for the first time.]

Britannian Royal Guard Commander:
[suddenly fearful] What's happening here?!

Lelouch:
I, Lelouch vi Britannia, command you! Now, all of you... Die!

[Lelouch casts the Geass, which manifests as a glowing red bird-like figure that soars at the royal guards. The guards' eyes glow a dull red as they are affected.]

Britannian Royal Guard Commander:
[laughs madly as he and his men are overcome by the Geass] Happily, Your Highness!

[The royal guards all put their pistols to their necks.]

Britannian Royal Guard Commander:
Fire!

[All royal guards present pull their triggers, shooting themselves through their collective jugulars; Lelouch gasps in shock at the fact that he has indeed made them commit suicide.]

Lelouch (voice-over):
That was the turning point. Since that day, I've lived a lie: The lie of living. My name, too, was a lie. My personal history, a lie. Nothing but lies. I was sick to death of a world that couldn't be changed. But even in my lies, I refused to give up in despair. But now, this incredible power… it's mine.

[After a moment of staring at the corpses as if in horror, Lelouch suddenly grins in an almost evil manner.]

Lelouch:
Well, then…
