This is part one of 'The Series of unfortunate Events' credit goes to jusrecht for the title.

Summary: First of the Series: My first ever chaptered fic, this is basically going to be a series of drabbles or short fics, centered around one character at a time, on what would happen or where would they be at the end of the series. I'm going to try and keep everyone in character, and as to the ends they are not spoilers, its just what I think could happen.

Now to the fic: I'm starting of this series with Cornelia. I'm doing the characters in no particular order

Disclaimer: I own nothing, except my brain that comes up with this stuff.

Journey's End

And the world began anew

The seconds ticked by like minutes as she walked down the long hall of the throne room, her steps were firm, and her gaze steady and she walked never taking her eyes of the person at the other end of the room.

And with each footstep muffled by the carpet, she remembered each day that had lead to this one,

Euphie dying.

Lelouch being Zero, the one responsible for the death of both Euphie and Clovis.

Learning about the cult of 'Geass'

Her decision to find this cult on her own and destroy it with own two hands … one if the other didn't heal sufficiently.

The long year of searching for the cult, while having to sit back and watch as her father used another one of her siblings to subdue the problematic 'Area 11' and Zero's return.

When she had finally found the cult, buried deep in the heart of the Chinese Federation, she had realized that it was too much for her alone to destroy, and let her self be captured by Zero, let him think that he was taking her against her will, that he had eventually been able to bring her over to his side, making sure that he didn't realize her true intentions.

And now she was at the end of her journey, so far every person related to the cult had been disposed of, all but one that is. And it was this person that she now stood before.

"I won …Cornelia … what are you doing!"

The gun was pointed strait at his heart, however before she could reply, a strange look came over his face, there was no surprise, it was just a tint of happiness that had replaced the insanity than normally fringed his usual blank look. And with a resigned shrug, he bent down and picked up his discarded mask.

"You'll be missing the celebration"

That statement was quite unnecessary really, for he had no intention of celebrating, not when there was no one he cared enough to celebrate with, on the long journey down the road to Britannia's destruction, he a pretty much lost all the reasons he had started walking for in the first place, and had only continued on, for it was the only thing left for him to do.

And Cornelia could bet her life on the fact that he was smiling behind his mask when she pulled the trigger, and the empty shell of the terrorist 'Zero' joined that of the fallen Emperor on the floor, 'Zero' because Lelouch had left that body a long time ago.

She would have turned the gun on herself as well, now having accomplished her goal, however the old Empire needed rebuilding, so that a thing such as this may never reoccur.

Hence, she let the firearm fall to the ground and left the room without looking back, and when she stepped out, she did so as the Empress of Britannia, in order to maintain the Empire her siblings had lost their lives to rebuild.

END

Yes! I have implied that alot of people are pretty much dead, because I just felt murderous for some reason.
