Persona 5 x code geass
"You see it doesn't matter if you catch me and send me back to the asylum... Gordon's been driven mad. I've proved my point. I've demonstrated there's no difference between me and everyone else! All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day. You had a bad day once, am I right?"
-The Joker, The killing Joke
Lelouch was about to be gun down by Britannia soldiers just because he learn the green hair girl existence and their dark secret as such he knows too much. The leader of the soldier was ready to shot while Lelouch can only contemplate his end until he heard a voice in his head.
"What's the matter...? Are you simply going to wait and die? Are you forsaking your sister? Death waits for both of you if you do nothing. Was your previous decision a mistake confronting the emperor?"
"No, I never regret facing my father and seek justice for my mother!"
"Very well...I have heeded your resolve." Suddenly he felt immeasurable pain like never before it felt like his skull was cracking as he shouted in pain and struggling as he hold his head "Vow to me. I am thou, thou art I...Thou who art willing to perform all sacrilegious acts for thine own justice! Call upon my name, and release thy rage!"
"Arghhhhh" as Lelouch scream at top of his lungs as the black mask appeared on Lelouch face then he tried to fiercely pull the mask from his face until it started to bleed but it didn't come off as he continues pry the mask off.
"Show the strength of thy will to ascertain all on thine own, thou be chained to Hell itself!"
Finally Lelouch pull the mask off and on his face to show a wickedly smile with his eyes become yellow. Then his body was covered in blue flames yet unharmed him suddenly the blue flame emerge a smiling devilish face as a being float with black chains attached. The frighten soldiers reckless fire their guns against it but the flame just burn all the bullets in contact, it was then Lelouch make his attack.
"BURN THEM ARSENE!"
As the entire platoon was burnt alive leaving the leader scared shitless.
"So what's it like to be cornered by a school boy" as Arsene floating towards the leader grabbing his neck.
"Please let me go I'll do anything"
"Anything"
"Yes anything"
"Go to hell" as Arsene burn the leader unlike others soldiers he was burning him slowly and painfully until only husk remains, Arsene seeing dead corpse simply toss it aside like garbage.
"Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha... This power... I will use it to destroyed Brittania!" Unknown to him the green hair witch touch his leg to get his attention.
Prince Clovis is making an important announcement on national television after what happen in Shinjuku incident. Lelouch watch on the TV screen being that he and his persona was the one who stole Clovis precious treasure and now waiting for the results.
"Now announce the arrival of Prince Clovis" as prince Clovis arrival as the son of the Emperor walking towards the podium "My fellow Britannia's and the world, I Clovis la Britannia have committed a terrible crime I swear in my father's name that I committed terrible atrocious as I conducted illegal in human experiment and the massacre on Shinjuku."
The mixture of surprise and shock can be seen from the audience watching the news as the Prince confess his crime to the world including those who are involve with his pet project and the Shinjuku massacre. Even Lelouch was baffle didn't expect stealing Clovis treasure would result at confessing his crime and wrong doings on international television. Of course the royal guard and pureblood tried to stop the broadcast but Clovis pull a gun and hold it at gunpoint as to continue his speech without any interruption.
With Clovis concluded his speech "Goodbye cruel world" as he pointed the gun at his head and pull the trigger the sound of fire and blood was seen then the screen turn black.
Once everyone was gone and was Lelouch alone in his room the satisfaction and dread course through his feeling. Make it difficult for Lelouch to sleep.
He didn't know what to make of it what he witness break any command sense of reality not to mention having persona that what it called itself until he finally went to sleep but his dream become very strange. He enter a strange place called the Velvet room it said the room represent about his life as he was sitting on the same desk like in Ashford but the surrounding were Britannia throne room. And the one sitting on the throne that looks like a principal office table was a person with blue hair. He called himself Yuki a resident of the Velvet room as he explain his tasked was to guide and help Lelouch in his journey.
Yuki was given the task as a representative of the Velvet room as a man called himself Philemon offer him a temporary break from the seal. He said he wanted to test if Minato has what it takes to be a part of the Velvet room resident and seeing not a bad deal decide to accept the deal for a temporary freedom. As such he decided to name himself or his alias Yuki the representative of the Velvet room.
When Yuki first meet Lelouch he can describe simply and short sentence. The boy was full of hatred and paranoia but they were love for his friends and family. The Velvet represents Lelouch life that he was a prince and also living a lie as a student.
Yuki told him of his task is to guide Lelouch if he can the change world but as say in the contract whatever path Lelouch choose Yuki will not intervene for Lelouch have to learn ever action has its consequences and Lelouch must live by it.
To prepare Lelouch for his quest against Britannia he was granted two things Mementos and Margaret. Mementos are place where Lelouch can fight the shadows and obtained the and personas funds for his anti-Britannia campaign like equipment and weapons.
Margaret was also given the task to trained Lelouch in which he can't say no. Margaret claiming the skinny boy needed some serious muscle, Margaret giving him a Spartan training special from hell even if he dies she just revives him again and again. Not only that in the velvet room one day equals to 10 minutes so six days 60 minutes in the real world.
As Margaret put Lelouch Spartan training but to Lelouch it only saw as torture even though he don't want to admit it he can't deny the result. More with Margaret he was able to transform from his Zero persona outfit with ease not only that Arsene has another ability known as disguise just like the name suggest he can disguise as anyone and pretend to be that person.
"You can't do this alone exploring Mementos and fighting Britannia you need a team if you want to succeed." it was advise by Yuki seeing how Lelouch alone tried to struggle in the dungeon floor 51, like Minato and other previous persona user they always fought with a team but Lelouch need to build a sense of trust a bond to form a team and make them stronger including Lelouch.
"So a team I need but I can't just show people that I'm Zero and I doubt some could enter the velvet room or even seen one without calling me crazy." It was an obvious answer as no one beside those who wield the wild card can enter the velvet room.
"That you don't need to worry, those who came here have sign a contract of secret. They can only tell this with other persona user, if they broke the contract not only they will lose their persona power everything about this will be erase from their memories." The memory part was a lie in order to give pressure of being erased. "That includes you Lelouch."
Lelouch eyes widen in fear to not only lose the power that he obtained but to loss his memories how he obtained it, he need to trend it carefully. "So who are my team that I need to find."
"They are already here look to your side." Lelouch turn to the right and become shock seeing the familiar green hair witch. "C.C. why are you here?"
"I've always being here watching you, I just kept quiet it's much more entertaining seeing you being wipe."
"Are shitting me this kid is Zero!" it was another voice that Lelouch didn't expected to see on his other side was the loudmouth Tamaki.
"Why him? I get it with C.C. but why this idiot has to be here."
"Hey I heard that."
"Well he has the potential plus we needed a comic relief guy like him so you better explain to him the truth as the saying goes the truth set you free and don't worry about him blabbering as you all sigh a contract that I just explain."
So for the next seven hours Lelouch explain his circumstances to Tamaki and C.C. including the power of persona the he wields.
"Let me get this straight even I have the potential to summon like you but both of us needed to experience something similar like you." C.C. finally grasping what Lelouch said.
"Yes".
"But HOW, is not like we can summon it like you naturally."
"That is what I will provide you both." As Yuki the one's sitting on Throne like room. "I will given both of you a test this will indulgence in your past and you must overcome it but if you failed you will die and no you can't turn it down as you already sign the contract." Then two doors materialize. "This door will take to your trial and you must complete it only then you can obtain the power of persona you desire." As both of them went straight toward the doors in trance like stat then the doors closes by itself.
"So could you tell me about their trial?"
"All I can tell you that their trial is one of their past, present, and future only when they overcome it they can obtain the power of persona if not well the persona will kill them."
"You do realize C.C. is immortal."
"I know which makes her trial even more painful."
"Will there be others included for this team?"
"Yes they will be others. Some of these people will help with your journey, you're a smart pretty boy but you lack one thing that every persona user has."
"What's that my physical attribute?"
"No, true bonds with others is the one thing you lack. The bonds you share with your friend Suzaku maybe truth but can't kept thinking only him they are others willing to support and help you if you can give them a chance like the student council members. A person cannot remain alone forever Lelouch, sometimes we needed someone who we can trust if not it will destroyed us in the future just like me."
After obtaining persona and geass Lelouch began his rebellion against Britannia. He face many obstacle but over time he overcome them until tragedy strike.
Lelouch was at Kamine Island as the incident with Euphemia or later history will know her as massacres princess but unknown to history that title was nothing more than a tragic accident that he Zero gave his half-sister a terrifying command and because of this he uses this opportunity to stage a rebellion. However hidden force in Britannia that Lelouch wasn't aware of took this advantage, not only his sister got kidnaped by this hidden force but told a half-truth by his best friend now enemy now stand before him along with Kallen. The shooting would have happen if times suddenly stop then Minato appeared before Lelouch holding a small book.
"It seems you're in a pickle. I warn you about your geass and how you told me you won't be like the others that befell."
"Go on lecture me, curse me, insult me, humiliated me I did by accident all of this death and rebellion because I was soak up with revenge that I didn't care what happen to others. I use geass to much and it went out of control, I've seen the symptom but I just kept brushing it. C.C. warm me you warm me even my persona warn me but I was poison by its power."
"Are you done explaining your tantrum shonen, then as it sign in the contract you were given a chance if you succeed my trial, as it said I will allow to turn back time before the accident with geass that befell on her."
When Lelouch heard that there was a chance to fix his mistake, this is a chance to prevent Euphy being label as a massacre princess.
"You really are a fool if I were in your shoe I would have used the time that Euphemia provided for me a strategy to fight Britannia but you were so impatient that you wanted answer for what happen. Sure you might lose the public trust out in the open but opportunity to use in the shadow and the time provided in the zone as no military would come near before the time limit. You're so immature."
"The more he hears from Minato the more upset that he is right, he never thought such opportunity to use. He was blinded with revenge that he forgot the time that is needed.
"But alas this trial that I provided will help fix back the error you did. Are you ready?" Lelouch nod "Then this is your last chance and no continue after this." Then suddenly black hands emerge beneath Lelouch as it grab him pulling him down slowly, Lelouch panic but stop once he look at the Yuki smiling face before swallow in the shadow.
Lelouch surrounding was completely darkness as he walk tried to find a way out until he heard Shirley voice as it trying to guide him. There he saw Shirley mourning her father corpse as she look at him with distain eyes. "Lulu why did you Geass me and killed my father you murderer!"
"It's not true Shirley it was an accident I never meant to hurt you and your family."
"Liar! You did because I knew you were Zero you try to silence me!"
"Accident, was my accident you're doing Lelouch." it was the bloody figure of Princess Euphemia as she walk towards Lelouch whom shaken with fear. "Why Lelouch? Why did you do this to me, I did nothing to deserve this why."
"It was an accident I never meant to hurt the both of you."
"How the mighty have fallen." It was Mao bloody figure when he got shoot by the police "We are the same you and I we lost control and paid the price."
"We're not the same I did it for a purpose."
"Oh really, but we are the same you and I, we killed so many people that piss us off just look the bodies of the dead surrounding you." The scene of corpse lay before Lelouch sight they are the people killed during the Narita and SAZ incident.
"Lelouch you lied to me and killed Euphy selfish game, your vendetta cause all of this." It was Suzaku whom appear.
"Shut you're a fool who loth his own country, I fight for justice."
"Then what about me Lelouch." it was Clovis with a bullet in his head dripping with blood. "I made a mistake so you killed me but what about Euphy she was so innocent and pure you tainted her name with bloodshed, that makes you no better than me, so is this justice you seek."
"No, I'm not like you all, I did this for a purpose."
"A purpose for what Lelouch is it to overthrow me." It was the Emperor that makes his appearance. "Foolish boy, you have failed and I will take her away from you forever."
"No, anything but that you can't take her away from me!."
"But why shouldn't I go big brother." it was finally Nunnally. "You lied to me that you were Zero. You killed our brother Clovis. You killed Shirley's father and other innocent people. You killed Euphy and tarnished her name." It was one of Lelouch greatest fear to be hated by Nunnally. "I hate you because of you the reason so many people we cared die, you should have just die! You're no longer my brother." Nunnanlly speech was the finally blow to Lelouch mental and heart as he couldn't take it the voices others taunting him even more.
LIAR
MURDERER
TRAITOR
BASTARD
IT'S YOUR FAULT
A single sound of hand clap stops the shouting. Lelouch stare at the source of the hand clap to see a person with the same face as his wearing his usual school uniform except his eyes were yellow and when he speak his voice wasn't human.
"How it's like to hear all the people cursing you for what you done."
"Who are you is this some kind of joke."
"This is no joke Lelouch what you see me is you as you are me. We are the same you and I, I'm what you called your shadow or as I like to call myself your inner self that was locked inside, a caged animal that was chain."
"So you're Arsene?"
"Puh, as if that persona is nothing more than your revenge part, I'm the part that you kept hidden inside your heart, I'm the part of your doubt, despair, and hatred I'm the part that you kept it locked and key, I'm the part that you fear the most Lelouch HA HA HA HA HA." As it grinned so evilly that could split its face.
"What are you" as Lelouch started to sweat and frighten.
"Not you we. Remember we lost everything that day our mother was assassinated and the Emperor did nothing and exile us and Nunnally, thus I was born from your heart the feeling of hatred and madness towards the world."
Then it shows a frown "Your time in Japan and friendship with Suzaku was like poison to me healing the hate in our heart." Then it smile back. "Even so our past still continue to haunt us as Britannia tarnished our hope for a better future as they invade and slaughtered civilians if that wasn't enough we had to hide from the angry Japanese that would have killed us for being Britannia as we had to hide with dead bodies and scrap garbage just to survive in a war torn country. The worst part is we had to lie to Nunnally about it all, you were glad she was blind so that she won't see the horrors that we saw."
"Shut up it was the only way we had to hide and travel for safety you have no idea the Japanese would do to us especially Nunally."
"When you utter those words, I will destroy Britannia... I was born. Since Britannia took everything from us; our mother, our home, our peace, and our future. You had learned what loss means and that loss torments you still. You hope your hatred might someday replace the pain but it never goes away. It makes a man hideous, inside and out. Wouldn't you agree? We both are demons. Our humanity won't return. You. Me. We've no place to run, nowhere to hide. And that's why I'll show you my demon." It eyes has glows.
"Don't you see I'm you the one that you took pleasure of killing, the feeling when we shoot Clovis was pure ecstasy as we imagine killing the Emperor himself." As the shadow lick its lips like savoring something sweet.
"No, I did because of what he did."
"Oh what about Euphy she was our first love. When we saw her we wanted to take her and ravage her, we wanted her love us again to fill that void that's in our heart so that no one would soil her chastity. We were jealous when she kept talking about Suzaku but then we killed her and it was glorious. The feeling of killing our first love that no one can touch her was enjoyable." Then it spins around taunting Lelouch.
"Stop it I'm not like that, I'm not some mad king. I did was to stop her it was my burden."
"Oh, were truly devils wearing human skin Lelouch I'm the part that you rejected when Nunnally hated you with all her heart I was free from that moment, Nunnally is the part that maintained your insanity without her you are nothing just an empty husk. It is why you had kept her like a bird in a cage."
"Just shut up! I did it to protect her."
"NO, NO, NO, we both know is not that, she's your hope and reason to live in this twisted world without her, your nothing more than a deadman walking just like Suzaku."
"Suzaku was with the enemy, I fought for Japan."
"Ah, our first and best friend Kururugi Suzaku but now our worst enemy, you're such a hypocrite just like him. We know deep down he will not be swayed by words no matter if the proof is right in front of him. We could have use Geass on him, we wanted so badly to use on him but you just kept the feeling that he will join your cause what a downer."
"If that wasn't enough he sided with the enemy yet you can easily finish him anytime either using your geass or in battle. Your reason is simply he is your only friend that knew your secret and treated you the same way unlike the student council who doesn't knew you are the Prince of Britannia. Your fear they will treated you differently maybe called the authorities about you being alive. You can't even let Kallen see your face or talk something that might jeopardize your trust with her. You are just a hypocrite like Suzaku."
Anger was starting boil up inside Lelouch.
"After all we have the Britannia emperor bloods flows in our veins."
"Shut, shut, shut I'm nothing like you!"
"I'm sorry I couldn't hear you."
"I'M NOTHING LIKE YOU!"
"HA HA HA HA HA HA" Then it emerge Loki (From Persona 5) "I am a shadow... The true self... I'll command you to die!" As the entire scene change into the sea side where Britannia invade Kyoto during the pacific war where Lelouch and Suzaku saw.
This after the battle with Lelouch shadow ( skip the battle)
Lelouch was battered and bruise not only that he lost an arm his right arm. "How pathetic, any last words."
"..."
"I don't think so goodbye other me." It throws Lelouch into the floor as the floor acting like quicksand like a rock submerges slowly to the pit as his body sink.
'Is this how am I going to die without fixing my mistake. Euphy, Nunally, Shirley I'm sorry I couldn't do anything for you. It's my fault that cause this I should have be patient or careful but instant so many had die, innocent people massacre by my hands. Maybe it be good if I were to disappear.' as his mind slowly drifted.
'Yes, if I disappear nobody needs to suffer anymore including me." As Lelouch eyes slowly close.
"Lelouch wake up if you fall here, it will be over." a familiar voice was heard.
"I can't forgive you for what you done, but if you gave up everything will be meaningless."
"I entrusted this rebellion to you and must succeed."
"Please you must wake up for the sake of others."
"You made a promise with me remember."
It was then Lelouch eyes open and he tried to swam up to the surface but to no avail as it keep pulling him until he felt hands pushing him up then another and another and pushing straight out from the deep completely and being free he look towards his counterpart with determination.
"So back for more." it asks.
"Yes but this time I'm ready." He took a stance. "I should have realized you are me and I'm you, we are the same. I rejected you because of my hate towards the Emperor as such I buried it deep within me and forgotten about it but I knew all my sin are unforgivable but if I die now all the lives that I took will be in vain and I must win even if it cause my life."
"How humorous is that from a fortune cookie because you are out matched and you still want to go on."
"I will continue to get even if cost my life, I will defeat you and save Euphy!"
Unknown to Lelouch in a mysterious classroom were two guests watching the Lelouch's trail. One girl had a pink hair while the other smaller girl with brown hair. The Velvet room resident was given a choice either forget everything or know the truth and both of them reply the truth they wanted to see. So Yuki started from the beginning from that day to the present now.
Former Princess Nunally whom was blind and cripple can now walk and see. In the velvet since this is a reality that only the resident of the velvet room can control and Yuki being part of the resident allows the little princess to walk and see.
"I was naïve I thought that good things would happen when I created SAZ but I realize now how corrupt Brittiannia really... no I knew how corrupt it is I just look away from the truth. I never thought Lelouch suffer so much but in the end maybe I just didn't wanted to see it and hope everything will be fine."
"I wanted all of us to be together like in the old days but the past is the past and it can never go back the way it was." Tears started to pour from the princess face.
"I'm the same, I wanted all of us to be together just like you. I knew something wasn't right but I've kept telling myself everything will be alright. Deep in my heart my brother was doing something behind my back but I just didn't say anything, I just wanted our life's to be happy."
"But in the end nothing seems to get what we wanted."
"As you ladies seen you are given two choices one is to forget everything what you saw or two become a persona user and join his cause." Yuki said his words.
"If I forget all of this I'll be no better than Suzaku I won't deny the truth nor give in what convenient or make excuse to cover up one ideal. This time I want to be with Lelouch side to hear his reason his belief instead hearing make believe words from Suzaku. More importantly I want to heal Lelouch even if it means to give my body as a woman."
"I'm also the same I wanted to help my brother and I'm willing to walk this path... so please."
"Both are you willing to walk this path but what are you willing to give to save Lelouch from himself."
"Everything I'm willing to give everything to save Lelouch/big brother!"
"So that's your answer very well I accept your answer as such both of you must past the trial and but be warned if you fail this trial you will die and I ask again are you willing to walk the path of carnage."
Both of them nod. "Very well contract accepted."
Persona list
Lelouch –The Fool represents the beginning of a journey = Persona Arsene, Arsène Lupin is a fictional gentleman thief created by Maurice Leblanc. He was known for targeting criminals or those who were much worse than himself, making him an anti-hero of sorts within his own stories.
C.C.- The Devil represents impulsivity, selfishness, being controlled by one's feelings, but also commitment in relationships=Persona Kaguya, Kaguya Hime is a character from a very famous Japanese folk story called Taketori Monogatari, "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter." She was found by a Bamboo cutter inside a stalk of Bamboo. The cutter raised her as his own daughter and she became very renowned throughout Japan for her beauty. Many men came to ask for her hand in marriage but she refused them all.
Tamaki- The Chariot represents confidence, victory, power, and the desire to become better =Persona Captain Kidd, William Kidd was a Scottish pirate and privateer in the 17th century. His early career was spent in the Carribean, where he aided the besieged English colony of Nevis by ransacking the attacking French. In recognition of his actions, the King of England awarded him a letter of marque, granting him legal protection so long as he remained loyal.
Euphy- The Empress arcana represents motherhood, fertility, comfort, care, and protection= Persona Milady, Milady de Winter, more commonly referred to as "Milady" is a fictional character created by Alexandre Dumas for his seminal novel The Three Musketeers. Her main relation with the novel's titular heroes is her personal vendettas first against the novel's hero d'Artagnan after he discovered she was branded as a criminal with a fleur-de-lis, then against his mentor Athos who was her former husband
Nunnally - The High Priestess arcana represents femininity, knowledge, and unexplored potential. Persona Johanna, Johanna is based on Pope Joan, a legendary Medieval woman who reigned as pope for a short period, going against the Catholic Church's ingrained tradition of male popes. Though the story was widely believed for centuries, modern historians have found no evidence of her existence and believe the legend to be a work of fiction meant to discredit the church.
I wrote this after playng the game Persona 5 it was the best persona game ever still my favourite will always be Arisato Minato from P3. I got this idea when playing the game the part Akira Persona Arsene awaken when he was in danger. The name Yuki is nothing more than a a title that he just use it for easy recognition. The contract is provided by Minato that means it's different from the usual Igor and Philemon provided.
Usually in the game the protagist would command " Ravage them Arsene" so I change " Burn them Arsene " to comply Lelouch persona. Unlike previous fiction that goes with time travel I got with halfway similar to Edge of tomorrow how Lelouch stop himself from causing the massacre.
Both Euphy and Nunally is something that I thought, Euphy never did heard about Lelouch past, his dark past during the pacific war thinking that everything will be fine as such it be a great blow for her to see and felt what Lelouch gone through in his life and her being murder by himself to stop her. Nunanlly case like Makoto both of them follow what people say but even deep inside they wanted to walk their own path and rebel. How both of them had to put up that facade just to make people accepted them
The scene where Lelouch drowning is from Naruto Shippuden OP8 Diver- Nico touches the wall it has that feeling so why not.
I have a very though months it has something with my family and I wont say, I manage to play persona 5 which improve my mood but life is still hard as I won't write quickly as I use to.
