The powers of Code and Geass, two vastly different powers yet so intimately connected that you could never have one without the other. As well as this, they are one of the three main staples of the series known as Code Geass, my favorite show of all time. The reason for it being my favorite could be explained with its use of political motivation, its interesting mythology, the intense battles between Knightmare frames (the third staple of the series), or even the motivation and backstories of the characters themselves; but in the end I would choose the single driving force of the entire series, Lelouch Vi Britannia, otherwise known as, Zero. To show my love for such an amazing series, I decided to cosplay as that same character but not just by grabbing a black wig, some colored contacts, and some random clothes, no I went all out did everything in my power to show Lelouch in his prime as I had not only dyed my hair black and bought colored contacts, I bought the fabrics and materials to create my own, real life, version of Lelouch in his season two zero outfit with a working motorized mask that had an opening eye slot when I pressed my thumb and pointer finger together to complete a special circuit I had installed.

Unfortunately though, even with my almost fanatic zeal in making the costume, I hadn't been able to acquire the one piece I was missing, a Geass contact lens. With this loss of a needed feature, my character's costume was mostly pointless and finely tuned mechanics I had researched online about to create were ultimately pointless. This didn't stop me though as I was going to enjoy my time as Zero whether it was a complete costume or not. Or rather, that was the plan until I finally found the one piece I was missing on sale by a vendor who was dressed as the merchant from resident evil. Not only did I buy one though, it was actually a full set, a set that I was completely happy with buying and placing in my eyes to give myself the end of series Lelouch look while also being Zero.

After I had put them on though and replaced the empty holder with my old purple contact lenses, the man dressed as the merchant began to laugh strangely before he spoke in his surprisingly accurate voice for the character he was dressed as, "It has been a pleasure doing business with you. Enjoy your trip."

"Trip, what trip?" My question was unheard though as, in a bright flash of light, everything disappeared from view, only to be replaced with the crumbling surroundings of a broken building while the sound of gunfire could be heard in all directions.

Disoriented and confused, I hesitantly began walking through the building in fear while hoping to find an exit to discover what had happened. Walking through the building proved to hold no challenges as the none of the fightings seemed to be getting closer but the sounds were still able to keep me on edge. Eventually, I reached a point in the building where a doorway could be seen as it leads to light. Not wasting any time, I raced for said doorway but upon exiting it, I was brought before a sight that utterly shocked me.

Kneeling low yet still towering over me with its immense height was a fully real looking Sutherland Knightmare frame. The frame seemed to notice me as well and the large gun held in its hand was aimed towards me in a threatening manner before bullets had been fired with no warning. I had been lucky at that moment as my large cape had caught under my foot when I tried to back away from the towering behemoth of metal, causing me to fall backward and to the ground, just out of harm's way. It was only for the moment though as the large robot had gotten to its feet and walked over to me with its lumbering steps until it was directly above my prone body and pointing its large weapon towards me with no possible way of missing its target.

In fear, I closed my eyes and held my hands up in a meager attempt to protect myself from the deadly weapon while screaming at the top of my lungs, "DON'T SHOOT, I DON't WANT TO DIE!" Even still, I prepared for the worst and prayed to whatever god heard my prayers to at least make the death painless.

"Who are you?" I hadn't expected the Knightmare to speak, nor did I expect it to care who I was after trying to kill me on sight but I wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth if it would help keep me alive just a little longer.

"M-my name is-" I was cut off by the large gun moving closer to me while the person inside the robot spoke again.

"I didn't ask for your name, I asked who you are. Why are you out here in the middle of a war zone instead of with the other survivors or with the other Brittanian forced, how did you find me up here, and why you are wearing something like that? A name can easily just be a cover, I want your title" I look to my costume in confusion before realizing he was asking why I was wearing such an ostentatious looking design of clothing. With no other choice besides death, I answered.

"I am Zero, also known as Lelouch Vi Britannia from the show Code Geass." I reach slowly and take the helmet off my head with a sharp hiss. After doing so, nothing is said between either of us or at least none that I could hear.

Suddenly, the hatch in the back opened and a line could be seen descending from the back with a familiar looking person holding onto it. When the person touched the ground, he pulled a gun from his pocket and kept it trained on me as he moved closer to stand over in the same position as the Sutherland.

"Why do you have my face, and what do you mean by show?" It was Lelouch Vi Britannia, or rather Lelouch Lamperouge considering his clothing of the Ashfield school uniform.

"I, I don't, how?" So many thoughts were racing through my head at the moment, sure a Sutherland should have clued me in at first but it was just a robot, something someone could have made a large scale model of with some jury-rigged weapons put into a special mold but to see the person from a fake universe that the Sutherland is a part of sealed the deal while also making no sense at the same time.

"Answer me." With the vaguest sight of red appearing in the boy who stood over me's left eye, everything went blank before returned to normal again.

"What the, how, did you use your Geass on me?" Being unaware of anything that might have just happened, I hadn't noticed Lelouch was nearby sitting on a fallen stone listening to his handheld radio before he clicked it off and came over to help me up.

"Yes I did and I can say for certain that both you and I have much more to talk about when this battle is over." No sooner did he say that a deep rumbling shook the very building we were standing while out in the distance a giant sinkhole appeared, creating a giant dust cloud of dirt of dirt and mud. When the dirt settled, no more gunfire could be heard.

"This is really the world of Code Geass." My awe was clear on my face and Lelouch simply stood at my side with a smile on his face.

"Yes, and from what you've told me, this is just episode 1."

How's it going everyone, do you like the idea I've brought to you or do you already know someone who's done this before and this is just a rip-off?

Seriously though, I know this is a little weird for an idea but this is fanfiction after all and people can't help writing about ideas that they get one day while in the middle of eating a bowl of cookie dough ice-cream. Before you send hate and flames my way, I ask that you give it at least a few more chapters to see if you'll actually like it or not (though that might take a while based on my writing schedule).

Anyways, and as always, Follow, favorite, and review and I'll see you all again, in the next chapter.
