Assembly [Both Schools]
By Sunday morning the translation system was back online. Signs were readable to everyone and each screen ordered students to the Battle Arena for 12 noon. Prefects were sent out to make sure no one leaves the campus until that time and then gathered up everyone to take to the battle arena.
Once everyone was seated, the prefects taking up the first two rows, the staff appeared. All of them looked grim; even Recette who's usually cheery face was gone, Dolorosa had an expression usually worn by Santana. As they came to stand in a row in front of the students, it was Dunleavy that stepped forward.
"As I am sure you are all aware, yesterday there was an attack on the Exaclan system and the city of Rakuen itself. I first would like to apologise for the inconvenience and the amount of time it took to get the system working again. Luckily there was no permanent damage."
That was the easy bit, Lee blinked, they hadn't had any sleep at all, working until the early hours to help repair the system. Considering the six of them did not share a common language, it had been a difficult process. The next bit was harder; she hated punishing people. She always felt like she had no right to. But she did, she had taken on that right and responsibility when she became mayor and this was a serious attack.
Perhaps they had been too soft with them, experimentation and trying to cheat was one thing. But this was an entirely different category.
"We have, of course discovered the perpetrators of this crime." She nodded, sending Santana and Nanami to collect Suzaku Kururugi and Lelouch vi Britannia from the stands. They were both prefects which was disappointing. Lee would have hoped they would know better.
"Lelouch vi Britannia and Suzaku Kururugi were both found to be the ones that began the attack." Though she had a feeling she knew which one had had the idea. The other didn't seem intelligent enough.
At least they were responsible for each others wrong doings, and so Lee didn't have to punish an innocent.
"You have both been found guilty of attacking the city of Rakuen." She paused, because giving the accused a chance to speak was considered civilised in most worlds and cultures.

He watched the punishments with a growing sense of horror. Though not being able to understand anyone had been frightening they did not deserve this... He found himself agreeing with the dark haired boys speech. How dare they bring punishment to others when all they wanted was to escape.
He watched though, tears building in his eyes. He had to see, he couldn't avert his eyes from such cruelty and nor should he. He had to see it and remember it, to remember why this place did not deserve to exist.
The loss of rights was also a shock, it was one thing having to bargain and vow to gain rights that should be automatic. But to have them taken away completely, even if only temporarily...
He recognised three names on the list, but made no move to find them. He was running all the information through his head, working out how to deal with it.

Asagi took that chance to sneak up behind his former weapon and whisper into his ear, "Vow with me?"

But as a discard he wouldn't be fighting, and that if the manual was to be believed was the only way to escape from this place.
"Wait..."
