Code Geass: Return


Chapter One - Return


On the eve of the Demon King Lelouch's birthday, two strangers walked along the streets of Tokyo. One was tall and wore a black cloak and ninja mask. The other had the height of an average high school student and also wore the same black clothing as the taller stranger. The black-clad strangers also held identical burlap sacks, one bigger than the other. They walked silently in sync, until they arrived at the mansion that was the King's home for many years. The taller stranger stopped at it's gate, while the shorter one continued on towards their destination. The smaller one noticed, stopped walking forward, and made her to the gate.

"She's not going to be here, you should know that." said the short one. Their voice was serious, unlike their voice from 16 years before. It used to be playful with a hint of sadness, now, it was just filled with sadness.

The taller stranger paused before answering, "You're right, it was foolish to hope that she'd be here, waiting for me after all these years." They had commanded many men and women with a great, majestic voice that made everyone obey their every command. In the span of 16 years, become a wistful whisper.

They continued on, not looking back, not thinking back to the time they had the entire world in the palm of their hand. The shadow of a woman stepped out from her hiding place. She had listened to the entire conversation whilst being hidden in the bushes surrounding the Lamperouge Manor.

She thought, "Their voices sound just like those two… No! It can't be, he died already. There's no way he could be alive… After all, I was there when Zero stabbed him…"

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew towards the front of the strangers. The shorter one's hood fell off, and revealed a head of long, lime-green coloured hair. It was obvious the green-haired one was a female.

"Ah, the damn hood fell off." grumbled the green-haired girl.

"It's your fault for not securing it properly, C.C." teased the taller one.

"Shut up! No one's even here to see anyways, so it doesn't even matter." C.C. retorted.

"Whatever, come on, Milly won't be awake for long!" continued the taller one.

"Ugh, fine! But you secure the hood! I don't know how…" she said exasperatingly.

The woman that had been hidden let out a small gasp. She frantically thought, "It's C.C.! But if she's here, that means that *he* may still be alive!" As soon as C.C. and the tall person were well away from the Manor, the woman stepped out of the bushes. She had fiery red hair styled in spikes that stuck out on the sides of her head.


During the time that the Demon King Lelouch had *died*, Milly decided to move away from her family and live closer to Ashford Academy with her new husband. Therefore she created Ashford Manor. It was large and imposing. The Manor looked quite similar to the school. Because of it's sheer size and luxuries, such as a golden bathtub, it was shown all over the world on public television.

C.C. and the tall stranger looked at the magnificent home of Milly Ashford and her husband.

"Well, it's nice to know some people haven't changed…" C.C. said with a nervous laugh.

"Yeah, it sure is…" replied the tall stranger. "Well, let's ring the doorbell!" The tall stranger lifted their gloved hand from the cloak, and pulled on the extremely long cord that belonged to the doorbell. It rang like the Liberty Bell in Washington D.C., and it's sound reverberated all throughout the house. All the lights went on at once.

"I'm coming! Just stop ringing the damn doorbell!" shouted a very angry female voice. The door opened, and the pair of strangers saw that the voice belonged to a blonde-haired woman with glazed blue eyes. It was Milly, with a hairstyle that matched the deceased Shirley.

"Hey," said the tall stranger. The stranger took off his hood and mask, revealing the face of Lelouch vi Brittania, the Demon King. Milly gasped in shock, almost fainted, and slapped Lelouch.

"You bastard, you come back to Tokyo 16 years later? Do you know how worried you made everyone? You idiot, at least you're back!" Milly said, with that one glint in her eye that only meant "PARTY".

"Oi, you forgot about me already?" C.C. scowled as she stepped away from Lelouch's back.

Milly paused and asked, "How come you two look the same as 16 years ago?"

"Geass," Lelouch replied, "but we can change our ages if you want. Look." When he said "Look," his face and body changed to the physique of a 30-year-old Lelouch.

"Well, that's creepy. Don't do it again." Milly said steely. "Come on it, I suppose you two are hungry."

"No, we're not hung-" Lelouch started.

"Yes, yes we are. And we'd like 10 boxes of pizza!" C.C. interrupted.

There was a long, awkward pause, then Milly started laughing. "Let me guess, since you two are fugitives, you got chased out of every pizza place you went to, didn't you?" Milly snorted between every few words.

"Uh, how did you know…?" asked C.C.

"Woah, that was a joke! I was right?" Milly exclaimed in extreme disbelief with a look of utter shock. "Never mind that then, I'll go order some boxes of pizza from Pizza Hut."

"Wait! Get 10 extra large pizzas with extra cheese and pepperoni! Then I can get the new Cheeseroni Cheese-kun!" C.C. frantically yelled.

"Okay, sheesh, you and Rena are exactly the same!" Milly sighed.

She invited the pair inside, ordered some pizza, and started filling Lelouch and C.C. in all about what had happened since they disappeared.

"So what you're saying is that after I disappeared, Kallen had twins who have red hair that is in my hairstyle, and they also have purple eyes?" asked a certain bewildered King.

"Uh, yeah, pretty much. We also ran DNA tests, and they were positive. Those two are your kids. Now… WHEN DID YOU TWO DO IT?" fumed Milly. She looked redder than blood and angrier than a bull and a pizza-less C.C.

"Eh-heh, uh, the day before I got stabbed..?" Lelouch chuckled nervously.

The evening went on with Milly chasing Lelouch, him getting caught and beaten, and C.C. not finishing the pizzas. She stayed quiet the entire time.

"So, now that we've calmed down, I was wondering if you could enrol us in Ashford?" pleaded a bloody Demon.

Milly glared at him and quietly replied, "Sure, but don't let the twins know who you really are. There are two bedrooms on the 3rd floor, you and C.C. pick one and get to sleep. You'll be transferred into Ashford by the end of Winter Break. Make sure to make no noise, Rivalz and my daughter, Lily, are sleeping. They can withstand any noise unless it's within 10 feet from them."

So the pair picked their rooms, prepared for another school year at Ashford Academy, and unknowingly stepped into another war.


Sorry this is so late, I'm been a tad lazy. Anyways, I formatted everything differently. Tell me what you think, please! By the way, feel free to send me OCs, I need help with the children of the other Black Knights. Oooh, I also need a better bad guy :D

Last thing before this ends, please R&R!
