Chapter 1
School of Murderers
This gift he bestowed upon me over a eon ago is beginning to become boring. I've seen a rebellion fall to weak souls and an empire rise from its defeat to power and then become its own undoing. My only regret is that my master chose to end his eternal life to live as a human with a mortal woman. When he gave me his power he told me that I had smelled like no other had before that was why he turned me and that I was the only one of his undead children to chose to become what only he before had become, human. I am Zachary Hyborn and I am The Last Vampire.
"WAKE UP LELUOCH!" Yelled Milly as she hit the vice-president with a newspaper "I know you were sleeping, your hand stopped moving!" She kept hitting him.
Lelouch looked up at the prez "Well you don't have to beat me up over it do you?" He asked with a bit of annoyance in his voice.
Rivalz piped up "Well serves you right for ditching me like that"
"That's right" said Shirley sternly "What was up with you yesterday"
"Oh…well…" Lelouch started but was interrupted by Milly.
"That's enough you guys" she said as she banged the paper in her hand "Lets not get side tracked here. If we don't come up with a fix for the club activity budget there wont be money for anything at all" she complained.
"And if it comes to that point…" Nina started from the computer desk.
"The equestrian club will be pissed" Rivalz interrupted "We don't want them coming in here on horseback" he joked.
"We don't want that happening" came a voice from the door "I've seen people do some crazy things from atop a good steed"
Milly smiled "Ah late as usual Zack"
Rivalz turned to him as he sat at the head of the table "Yeah off with another girl I bet" he teased.
Shirley looked at him but could only see his silver hair as he wrote on something, she angry at him "What you cant answer?"
He ignored her.
She continued "Who was it this time? You already broke the hearts of most of the swim club and the bulk of the drama club"
Zack finally raised him handsome face to her and spoke "Don't hate the player, hate the game being played"
Rivalz almost fell back in laughter as Shirley was about to go into a rage.
Zack looked into her eyes "Calm down, its not like the girls don't already know my reputation" he said in a calm voice.
Shirley calmed right down and sat back in her seat.
'I smell dried blood in the room' Thought Zack. 'It smells like brain matter and it's at most a day old. Its good I just ate'
Lelouch eyed Zack 'He cant possibly have the same power as me. Can he?' He thought to himself.
Milly threw the paper down on the table and said "Get back to work!" causing everyone to focus on her again.
Zack tore off the paper he was writing on and handed it to Milly "Here this should solve the budget for the next year"
Milly's eyes grew huge as she read the amount on the check "o..on..one million dollars!" she stuttered.
Everyone looked wide eyed at Zack who shrugged "You act like you've never seen that much"
"What do you mean you stole from the Lancelot!" yelled Lloyd as he argued with a blonde girl in the Camelot Hanger "Its mine, all mine!"
"Lloyd you didn't really think I would build a knightmare without your advanced designs" said the girl in front of him.
"Your working with 'HER' Aren't you?" Lloyd said angrily.
The girl laughed "Rakshata? You two taught me everything I know but im not giving her the Lancelot's designs. Or those of the Elsa"
Lloyd's interest was peeked "Elsa?"
"Did you think I would copy the Lancelot?" she laughed "I wouldn't waste my time stealing the entire machine"
She pressed a button next to her which removed the cloth from the machine they stood next to. "May I present" The cloth came off and the details of the machine were revealed, in its core it was the Lancelot but its limbs were those of the Gloucester. Each of its forearms were equipped with the same shield-harkin combo as the Lancelot and its knees had large plates protecting the joints and its groin had the same frontal plate as Cornelia's Gloucester baring the symbol of the Royal Family there and on the armor of the torso.
"The Elsa" she said proud of her achievement.
Lloyd laughed "You placed parts from the Lancelot on a Gloucester and call it a new knightmare? Its just a custom job"
The girl smirked "No I built a Gloucester around the frame of the Lancelot"
"That's genius!" Lloyd exclaimed.
"LLOYD!" Came a woman's voice from across the hanger as she came running towards Lloyd.
"Oh great" Lloyd sighed as the woman neared "Yes Cecile?" he said knowing she was mad at him for something.
Cecile stopped in front of him "The prince gave us orders not to touch this machine until the designer arrived from the homeland!"
"But Cecile" he tried but was cut off.
"I cant believe you would disregard orders like this!" she continued "The prince would…"
"Is she always like this Lloyd?" asked the girl as she stood listening to the rant.
Cecile turned to the girl "Don't interrupt grownups its bad manners!" She scolded
Lloyd smirked "Not as bad as yours right now" he said under his breath but was still heard.
Cecile turned back to him "What do you mean by that!"
"He means you are addressing the 4th Imperial Princess, Annabelle La Britannia"
"Really Zack you need to stop charming all these girls into your bed" said Shirley with a voice that showed her dislike of his activities.
Zack leaned in close to her "You're just jealous that I wont try with you huh?" he asked in a tease.
Shirley grew red at the comment and backed away from him "No of course not!" she said embarrassed.
"Oh come on guys at lease Zack stopped the budget problem for like the next decade" joked Rivalz from behind them.
"Knowing Milly she'll probably make some big festival and spend it all before the end of the year" said Nina in her usual shy voice.
Zack laughed "Well when that happens I'll just give some more"
The group entered their class room as the other students were watching the news.
"They used poison gas?" said a male student.
"Man that's freaky" said another "Shinjuku is only thirty minutes from here"
"Oh my god I saw smoke rising from Shinjuku" said a female student "It must have been the gas"
"Are they saying anything else about it?" said another boy.
Shirley turned to Lelouch as he walked in "Shinjuku?"
"I heard about it in real time from a friend" he answered "That's why I called you yesterday"
Zack inhaled the smell of blood again. 'Its defiantly Lelouch, he must have killed someone, I always thought him a good guy' Thought Zack.
"Check out that footage of those dead Elevens" said a boy who far to happy to see it in Zack's opinion.
"No don't look at that" Said a sickened girl.
Lelouch gagged as he began to vomit and he ran towards the restroom with only Zack noticing him leave.
'That explains it, Lelouch must have killed some people there in Shinjuku' Thought Zack.
"What!" yelled Lloyd as he watched the workers bring in the weapons Anna built for the Elsa "I cant believe you built a new heavy assault rifle with super heated bullets"
Anna smiled at his praise "The rifle uses the same technology as the Radiant Wave Surger that Rakshata built with the casing of a VARIS you built"
Lloyd's proud face turned to gloom "You perverted my VARIS with a design from that Indian she-devil" he said in a scowl.
"You should see the MVS you sent me" she grinned as the Dao-Katana MVS was loaded into the hangar "I call it the Magma Blade"
Lloyd's face became pale "What did you do to my children?" he was near tears.
Anna laughed "The handle makes vibrations along the blade while the guard above the handle makes the blade burning hot"
Cecile walked over with a tray of tea "How is it you power all of these weapons off a single energy filler princess?"
Anna turned and took a cup as Lloyd stood stunned "Its simple really" she sipped and gave Cecile a thumbs up "good tea"
Cecile nodded "Thank you princess"
"The way I keep it all powered is that I made my own drive core" Anna smiled.
Lloyd came out of his stupor "You mean you actually made the Oblivion Core?" he asked dumb struck.
Anna nodded "Yes thou its still untested at the maximum capacity" she looked towards the Elsa "Even the Elsa cant use it to the fullest"
Cecile who was clueless asked "What's the Oblivion Core?"
Lloyd looked at her "What I never told you about it?"
Anna faced her and explained "The Oblivion Core is a device that holds unlimited power in a small device by using a super particle builder which can safely combine multiple particles into a single super energy source"
"That's amazing" exclaimed Cecile.
"Yes but what you forget is that both Rakshata and I warned you that building such a device could destroy an entire city should the unit powered by it be destroyed" said Lloyd with disappointment in his voice "where did you even get the resources to built it?"
"Father gave me full access to my accounts a year ago and I've used that money to build the Core and then the Elsa to use it in" said Anna who then gave Lloyd the stink eye "And I made sure that even if I were to die the core would break down to keep from going critical" she stuck out her tongue "And I already had this conversation with Rak. Its SAFE!"
"Princess" called a man from the door to the hanger. The man wore a blue coat with black trim dawning the red feather metal of the Pure-Bloods. He also wore a black cape over the left half of him body.
"Margrave Jeremiah here?" said Cecile in shock.
Anna turned to face him as he neared "What do you require of me Margrave?" she said as official as she could.
Jeremiah looked around the hanger as the workers were staring at them "I believe we should discuss this in private princess"
Anna turned to Lloyd who said "Your office is still being setup, We can use my office for now"
Jeremiah gave him an angered look "You might be here under the 2nd prince's authority but this is a matter far above you Earl Asplund"
Anna gave him a hateful glare "I authorize these two to accompany me then" she demanded.
The Margrave bowed "as you wish princess"
Lloyd led them into his office and they all sat on the plush sofas that Cecile had picked out to decorate his space.
"So why is it that you came to disrupt my preparations Margrave?" Asked Anna.
Jeremiah's eyes showed anger as he looked into hers "Your brother the 4th prince has been murdered"
Anna blinked and watched his expression go from anger to confusion.
Cecile began to cry and hugged Anna "This must be horrible for you" Out of pity since she never met the prince and it truly didn't hurt her, she only wanted to comfort the young girl.
Anna pushed Cecile off of her and looked at Jeremiah in disbelief "How!"
Zack sat in his seat at the back of class with his chair on its back legs and his feet on his desk watching the girls coming in looking for tomorrows breakfast.
'I smell a gunpowder and knightmare exhaust coming from that red head' Thought Zack as the girl walked in and sat at her desk and a few other girls crowded her.
They began talking and Zack stared at her for several seconds as did Lelouch as he walked in and sat next to Zack. Rivalz took notice to them staring.
"What's up guys, see something ya like?" he asked teasing them "You don't have a chance in Zack gets involved Lelouch" he looked Zack "Thou she might like the quiet loner type more then the billionaire playboy" he laughed.
Zack laughed "I don't go for the sickly, it ruins the cred"
Lelouch kept staring at her and talked "I was just thinking that it's a rare event. She hasn't been here at school since this whole term started"
Rivalz spent the early classes explaining her to Lelouch, Zack on the other hand knew that if Lelouch was interested in information on a girl who was likely a soldier or a terrorist then he himself must be one of the two.
Zack stood on the roof during lunch watching the girl as a bee chased her behind a bush where she swiped her hand and killed it.
'Defiantly not an invalid like she acts' Zack thought as he watched Lelouch walk up to her. 'Now is when I discover what's going on here'
Zack concentrated on the sound of their voice thou the other students with his sensitive hearing.
"C…Can I help you with something?" asked Kallen hesitantly.
"I want answers" demanded Lelouch calmly.
"Of course" she said like a soldier.
"Were you the one piloting the Glasgow in Shinjuku?" he asked.
"Yes" still flat in her speech.
"Why Terrorism?" was his next question.
"Because I'm Japanese thou technically I'm Half-Britannia" she answered.
Lelouch was surprised "Half blood?" he recomposed "But why go so far?"
"Because my brother was killed by Britannians" she answered.
Her face changed back to her sick look "Did you want something?"
"No I got what I wanted here" Lelouch said as he turned around and began to walk away. He stopped and turned back "Oh wait, just to be sure" he stared her in the eyes "Don't tell anyone about Shinjuku" he ordered.
Kallen looked surprised "What do you mean about Shinjuku? Why would you say that?"
"Go back to class" He ordered.
She broke from her sick demeanor and raised her voice "As soon as I get an answer to my question I will"
Lelouch backed away in defense until.
"HEY Lulu, Kallen, You know its time to head over to the chem lab. You better get a move on!" Yelled Shirley from the upstairs window of the school.
Lelouch took the opportunity and acted surprised "Oh crap its my turn to set up class" and he ran off into the school.
"To think I would find a geass user in a school of all places" Zack said looking up at the clouds "I thought you were the only one who would damn a soul so young to a life of that form of geass" He smiled "Looks like Area 11 is about to get interesting, eh…Master?"
Anna sat in her office in the Camelot groups main hanger. She looked at the picture on her desk. It was taken at the Ares Villa the home of Marianne and her children Lelouch and Nunally from just over eight years ago. In the picture was Her, the kind Euphemia, Cornelia, Marianne, Nunally, Lelouch, Schneizel, her dear brother Clovis and the ever cynical Black Prince, Logan.
"The only group in the family who actually loved each other" she said as the tears came. A large picture of her father hung on the wall to her right and she looked into his eyes "Half of them have been taken by your arrogance"
Anna stood holding her customized handgun "YOU BASTARD!" she yelled as she emptied her clip into the picture and though the wall from the unique bullets.
"Anna are you okay?" came Cecile's voice from the other side of the door "Me and Lloyd are worried about you"
Lloyd's voice could be heard "Her! She just shot though Lancelot's leg!" he yelled as he examined the damage "Im going to need a whole new leg joint now!"
"The poor girl just lost her brother!" she yelled back "Be a human for once and give a crap about a person instead of a damn machine!"
"Cecile put that down you could kill someone!" yelled Lloyd
Anna blared heavy rock music to drown out the yelling and buried her face in the cushions of her couch to cry.
"Twilight energy build up at 75%" rang a female computerized voice.
Zack checked his monitor "What's the status of unit one?"
"X-01 Avenger is proceeding without error"
"Okay Mandy im done for the day" Zack said and turned out of the dark room with only the red shine of building energy to light it. He came out the an elevator.
"Have a good sleep Zachary" the AI Mandy said before going to standby.
The elevators came up him room in the student council building. He was allowed to have a small apartment here because of his donations to the school. It was slightly smaller then the Lamperouge's but still had a nice kitchen and instead of a dinning room he made the center room a relaxation space. It had two three-person dark blue couches in front of a large wall mounted flat screen television that sat unwatched. He also had a small black table by the large window at the end of the room with 2 chairs that he only used for chess with Lelouch from time-to-time.
He threw his lab coat into the closet by the door and heard Lelouch and Kallen outside his door.
Zack opened his door just as Lelouch was passing making him crash right into it.
"What the Hell Zack!" Lelouch growled "you trying to kill me now?"
Zack walked out of his room and closed the door "Oh man im sorry I didn't know you were there" he faked sympathy as Kallen giggled.
Zack grabbed her hand and kissed it "Hello gorgeous, my name is Zachary Hyborn, billionaire" She stared into his beautiful red eyes.
"Your eyes are oddly red" she said in a daze.
Lelouch walked between then taking her hand and pulled her with him "Come on we don't need Milly's newest victim to get spoiled by the school playboy"
Zack followed them down the hall "Hey Lelouch you said Milly's victim. So does that mean Kallen is in the council now?"
Kallen cocked her head to see him "Yeah its hard for me to do other club activities because of my condition"
Zack inhaled, 'She not sick at all' He thought.
"Where were you today?" Asked Lelouch "No ones seen you since before lunch"
Zack tried to make an excuse but didn't need it as they rounded the corner.
"Lelouch its horrible" said Nunally distraught.
"What is?" Asked Lelouch calmly.
Milly turned to them "Prince Clovis has been found dead"
Rivalz turned "Their saying he was killed"
'Lelouch you must have killed Clovis in Shinjuku. Geass explains it all. Lelouch may be an assassin from the order, if so they know im here, wait…' Thought Zack as a flash of memories from his time in the Imperial Court before the death of Marianne came to him.
"Lelouch and Nunally!" he said out loud but everyone was caught up in the news and didn't notice him. "C2 must be here in Area 11"
The broadcast ended and everyone began talking amongst themselves. Zach walked to the roof and texted for Lelouch to come after he left Nunally.
Two Gloucester type knightmare-frames stood across from each other in a coliseum, each only armed with a lance and both bore the markings of the royal family as well as large head piece.
"You ready Cornelia?" asked the man in the Black Gloucester.
"Lets see if your new model Gloucester Shadow can beat the original Logan" Said the Princess from her purple knightmare.
Gilford stood at the highest observation post "Begin in three...two...on…"
"WAIT!" yelled the pink haired girl from beside him as she held her phone to her ear.
"What is it Euphie!" yelled her big sister.
Euphie began to cry as she talked on the phone "What! How!"
Both Cornelia and Logan left their machines and ran to their sister just as she hung up the phone and began to wail.
"oh come here" said Logan as he stepped close to her and she wrapped her arms around him crying into his shoulder "Let it all out and then tell us what's wrong"
Both Cornelia and Gilford stood dumbfounded at him.
"I always thought you were as cold as father" said Cornelia as she watched her younger brother try to calm their little sister.
He looked up from Euphie to his elder sister "Euphie and Anna are the only ones I like now"
"Now?" asked Gilford as Euphie cried worse at the mention of Anna.
"Yes I loved to spend time with Lelouch and Nunally before that bastard took them from us" said Logan with anger.
Euphie finally calmed down after they all retreated back to their common room at the base in the soon to be Area 18.
"Okay pinky what's the waterworks for?" asked Logan with a smile.
Euphie sniffled and sat up from his lap "That phone call was from Anna" she held back the tears "Clovis was murdered" she lost it again.
