So I found this little thing sitting on my pc the other day, and after taking another look through it, I decided that I would upload this little thing, I have another few chapters, but I need to revise and edited them, but anyway, this is a time travel fic, I know its been done a lot, but this is my attempt at it, I wont bore you with spoilers and such so here you guys go,

Enjoy,

….

Lelouch was not sure how he ended up here, he died after all, sword through the chest and everything, but now here he was, in his old body. Staring in shock at the image in the mirror, his old skinny body with little muscle or fat, pale snow-white skin, ebony black hair hanging at his neck, bright violet eyes staring back at him.

First things first check what the date is he checked his phone finding the date to be 2016, at this point Lelouch is 16, he would not gain Geass for another year at least, which means he does not have that card up his sleeve just yet.

Next how the hell did he end up here, the last thing he remembered was getting stabbed by Suzaku. Now he stood in his bathroom at Ashford, back at least six months before he gained Geass. He slowly came out of his panicked state, focusing himself, he noted the good things about this, yes his plan at world peace had failed, at least that's what he assumed by his return here, but now Nunnally would not be stuck with the burden of being Empress, Kallen would not be grieving for him, and C.C would not be alone, he loved all of them, and he would get to see them again.

Again, now that word brought a smile to his face, again, again, another chance, to put everything right, Again, again, again, again, agi-

'Hold it, no going mad Lelouch, you have a world to save and two women to fall in love with again.'

Now planning, it's been a while since Lelouch thought about the start of his first rebellion, he remembered enough to plan a few of small things, now to actual planning, he had to admit that his weak physical shape was not good for the leader of the largest rebel group in Britannia, he would have to train, and become at least able to defend himself, preferably able to fight off at least a few average soldiers.

Next, he thought up a small checklist in his mind of all the important things he would need to do, to win his rebellion.

He would save C.C at the first chance he got, screw the consequences.

He would find a way to deal with the Lancelot in Shinjuku, it's the only obstacle to his complete victory there, but he could not destroy it before Suzaku showed off its power, otherwise he could lose one of the most powerful machines he could get, and all its successors, their only real equals being the Guren, Gawain, and later on the Shen Hu and Shinkiro. This line of thought brought him to one of the limiting factors of his previous rebellion, its lack of special units, perhaps he should design Knightmares of his own, he had always had an interest in engineering.

Next, he would talk to Kallen's, she was very likely the best Knightmare pilot around, screw it, she was the best, the only reason she would lose is because of Suzaku's stupid Live command, which he would most assuredly not give him again, they may have become friends again, but he was still an opponent.

But anyway, Kallen was totally loyal to Lelouch before, even with his cold personality and attempts to keep her distant from him, he could do much better than that, get her out of her house as a priority, maybe a permanent stay in his room, she would probably not be the same as his Kallen, but she would still be Kallen.

A thought came to him, what if others had been returned as well, something to watch out for, if nothing major changes from his memories of this time, he would be mostly safe, if not, well he would be fucked.

He would have to quickly establish the Black Knights, perhaps he could get some resources before setting them up, he did always want to be an insane arms dealer, and it would get him a lot of supplies, as well as separating himself from Zero, Zero should be a symbol, not a man but an ideal, and if Zero wanted to place his good friend Lelouch Vi Britannia the arms dealer on the throne of the Empire then who would he, Lelouch Lamperouge be to argue.

Lelouch thought about his other loyal followers, Jerimiah could be brought to his side quite quickly, but was it worth waiting for the man to receive his implants and cybernetics before recruiting him, something to think about for sure.

Next he would look into conscripting Lloyd if at all possible, if not get his assistant, what was her name again Cecile right Cecile, a bit less of a genius but still more then useful, I think she was the one who invented those energy wings anyway, it shouldn't be too hard to convince the Earl of Pudding to switch sides anyhow, he is basically a mad scientist, all he would have to do is get him enough funding.

C.C and the whole business with the Emperor, V.V and Mariana, waiting till the man starts Ragnarok was a bad idea, he would try to pry some more info out of C.C about the consciousness, using leather straps, chocolate sauce and a riding crop, but if it works like Lelouch thought he might have to wait until V.V loses his code.

STOP THAT BLOODY CAT! Lelouch thought seriously, he liked cats in general, but he could not let that wretched animal get anywhere near his room.

Next is Saitama that would be a bloody mess, he could beat Cornelia, but if his previous life had thought him anything, it had to be humility, he would have to plan the operation carefully, and get the Black Knights to aid him, assassinating Cornelia was no longer a priority, so it would be a hold and rescue operation.

He would have to deal with evil Milly, that girls is dangerous even if she doesn't try to be, Lelouch was reasonably sure she had figured out he was with the Black Knights, if not that he was Zero in his last life, she was a very smart girl, and easily underestimated, perhaps he should recruit her into the knights, she was betrothed to Lloyd in his last life as well, so maybe he could draw the man to his side using her. Then again, the Earl of Pudding seemed to care more for machines then people.

Fucking up the hotel jacking, violently, would be a good idea, he would need to send a message that acts like that would not be tolerated.

There is Narita, he would win that, especially with Kallen and the Guren, and if his plans worked out he could have far more resources available to him this time, then there was the actual prize if they won, he could a little conversation with Cornelia, turning Cornelia to his side would be incredible, she holds a lot of influence over the Britannian military, using Geass would be a last resort in this case, if he could get her to defect, that would be great.

He must deal with the remains of JLF as well, let's not kill the general this time, lets 'Convince' him to join the Knights instead, then there is Tohdoh he would have to save him as well, Tohdoh would be very useful.

If his plans work out he wouldn't need to start a fight at Shikine, making plans to take the Gawain is essential though, that machine was still his favorite to this day, even better then the Shinkiro, both the complete opposite of each other, one with the perfect attack, another the perfect defense.

The Chinese invasion will need to be a crushing victory, Lelouch really doesn't want China in control of Japan, he would need to take over China as soon as he could anyways, he needed their manpower sooner rather than later, he had a plan, but he would need Kaguya's help.

How would he deal with Euphemia, that would probably be the hardest thing, the SAZ could not be allowed to happen but having Euphie kill them was an extreme mistake, he could forge some documents, setting her up as a figure head of discrimination, make it so the SAZ seems like a trap, maybe he could get some military radicals to hit the event, he had to think on it a bit more, having a full blown rebellion this early couldn't be allowed to happen either, recruiting her should not be hard if he had her boy-scout on his side, hmm.

After that he could not be sure what would be changed, but he still wanted China on his side, this would mean that he would have to deal with the cockless powdered bastards that lead it, but a coup de at is not hard to set up if it is planned right.

Before he could even start this he needed to wait for a while, in this time he could set up a network, luckily he was still an avid gambler at this point and had a few connections that could help him get in contact with the people he wanted, but priority one right now was to get into better shape, honestly he was shit at PE only because he considered it beneath him, it wouldn't be that hard to get into fighting condition, and he had just the ninja-maid to help with weapons training, as well.

Oh, he almost forgot about Mao, the cunt, he will have to kill that sad exuses for and overgrown child as soon as possible, he could be useful of course, a mind reader would always be, but the bastard deserves to die for what he to Shirley and Nunnally.

Now time for a conversation with his ninja maid.

….

Finding Sayoko was not hard, he was a bit late for breakfast, so was quickly berated by her, Nunnally was just as sweet as he remembered, and the desire to protect her was as strong as ever.

"So Lelouch do you feel better? You were a bit sick yesterday, weren't you?" Nunnally asked, he turned his head to her, quickly searching through his memories, he had always had a minor edict memory, if he focused on something for a little while, he would remember it, he would have to look into that more later, but, oh yes, he had been feeling weak and a bit sick the previous day.

"Yes, I was but I feel all better now." He said, his voice clear and an honest smile on his face. "Just a bit tired I guess."

"If you came in earlier instead of gambling all night I am sure that that would stop being a problem, my lord."

"I know, Sayoko, I need to get a new hobby, maybe I should take up martial arts." Judging by their looks well look and turned heads, he had surprised them immensely. "Perhaps you would be willing to teach me Sayoko?"

"Where is this coming from Lelouch?" oh he hoped he dint overstep his luck there, time to do what he was best at, lie, lie a lot.

"I may have taken a game too far and had to run away, and I guess, I don't want to be forced to run if it comes down to it."

"I have one condition. My lord." She didn't look surprised, as if she were expecting this to happen at some point, you know what she probably did, bloody ninja maid. "No complaints, and no slacking, I will gladly train you but only if you show you really want to become better."

"Then I gladly agree."

After breakfast he went to school, going through the motions of classes and breaks felt good, just like he remembered, Kallen seemed to be absent today, so he couldn't contact her right now, he quickly remembered why he didn't go to class often, the teachers were still boring as hell and the only upside was the council meetings at the end of the day, which were actually a lot of fun, and very relaxing compared to planning requiem, Milly is still a perverted she devil with an amazing chest, Revalz is a funny wise crackers and one of his best friends, Nina is a shy little scientist and Shirley blushes as soon as he looked at her.

His training started after the meeting was over, and it was hell, literal hell, the reflexes on his body were decent, but that was the only thing, he has no endurance, no core strength, no agility and little speed, however this would be improved if he has anything to say about it.

….

The rest of the week passed similarly, day's taken up by, school, council duties and training, he adapted quickly, the training was hard but he felt that it would help, so he continued, until at the start of next week, Kallen came to school again, he had thought about how to approach her, if she had not traveled back as he did then it would be risky, if she had then that would be a massive advantage.

So, he put a note only she would understand in her locker and went to the location he put down.

….

Kallen scanned the note in her locker, with wide eyes, her jaw trembling slightly, she had spent the last week in her room, coming to terms with what had happened to her, she had suddenly found her self in her old, or well younger body, she had simply fallen asleep the day that Lelouch had died, and then woken up in her old bed in the Stadtfeld mansion.

She spent a week thinking about what had happened, before deciding to come to school again she needed to see if Lelouch had returned too, then she found this note in her locker.

Q1,

If you know what that means,

You will meet me where,

We first met face to face,

0

'Face to face' she wondered, before realization hit her, 'behind the school building, that's where we first met face to face.'

Her mind went into overdrive, this meant that Lelouch had returned as well, she was not alone here, she quickly packed her books and ran towards the building, her sick persona be damned.

….

Lelouch waited by the side of the building, hoping that Kallen would come, he knew that the chance was low, but still he hoped, he had already been waiting for over an hour before he heard rapid footsteps coming around the corner, before he could react a redhead came around the corner, then he was promptly slapped, and fell to the ground.

When he looked up rubbing his cheek he was met with an angry redhead standing over him, her scowl made his face light up in a smile, he slowly stood up.

"I admit, I deserved that."

SLAP

"And that one too."

He saw her lifting her leg to kick him in a very painful place, he brought up his hands and stepped back.

"No! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

She looked at him, before her composure cracked and she sobbed, her beautiful eyes filled with tears turning them from the normal sky-blue to a darker ocean blue, and soon they were together in an embrace, Kallen burying her head into his neck, he still taller than her.

"How could you do that Lelouch," She whispered loudly her voice strained, "How could you not tell me!"

"Because you would have stopped me," He whispered back, softly, "If I showed a moment of weakness, I knew you would convince me, I couldn't let that happen."

"I would have gone with you to the end!" Her voice grew louder again.

"And you would have died beside me, I couldn't let that happen!" He said speaking at an even louder tone, "You were supposed to forget about me, to go on with a new life!"

She pushed away from him slightly still embracing but not trying to mush them together anymore.

"I could never forget you Lelouch, you were, no are, my everything." He made to respond, his eyes wide, but she put her finger on his mouth in a, be silent foolish male, motion. "You are my best friend, my commander, my Hero and Villain, and most of all you are my love!"

"Why, why do you love me!" he nearly shouted, "I am the worst person I have ever met, save for perhaps my father, I am arrogant, rude to those beneath me, I'm power hungry, I use people, I destroyed countless lives, and ended more!"

"I love you because you are you, Lelouch!" she responded again angry at him, but refusing to let go. "And I have one question for you, you have to answer, no more excuses, just an answer! Do you accept?"

"I do, Kallen." He answered truthfully, it was the least he could do.

"What am I to you Lelouch?" her voice trembled as she said his name. "What do I mean to you?"

He thought on her question, it had so many answers, he honestly didn't know how to respond, until she began to pull away, he held on to her tighter, before answering.

"You are the love of my life Kallen." He answered and felt her stiffen in his arms, he continued on not waiting for a response, "You are my Knight, my Queen, my goddess even, when I first met you I found you interesting, so similar to me yet so different, over time I fell in love with you, your kindness, your dedication, your temper.

He chuckled at the joke he would only get away with this one time, and looked her in the eyes, before speaking again.

"What I am saying, Kallen, my Queen, is that I love you."

Her lips met his before he realized what was going on, their lips connecting together once more, this time Lelouch gave in, he did not have to hold back, he poured every emotion into this kiss, when they separated minutes later, red and out of breath they smiled at each other, then broke out in chuckles, and eventually full blown laughter.

"So, Zero, what are we going to do?" Kallen asked, smiling. He smirked back at her, his face back in its normal imperious expression.

"Well my dear, we are going to conquer the world of course."

….

They spent the rest of the day together, going over their plans, they decided it would be weird if they just suddenly started going out together, so they planned to have Kallen slowly start to come to school more, allowing them to put up the act of Lelouch and Kallen just starting to date slowly, Lelouch also decided to tell Sayoko of their plans, hoping that she would also train Kallen, his hope proved well placed and the woman doubled their training.

Over the next few weeks they quickly settled into the new rhythm, training together, working together in taking over the black markets.

Convincing Milly to induct Kallen into the student council was very easy, all he had to do was present her with the buxom girl and Milly latched on like a leach. The announcement that they were dating was a bit less pleasant, as it involved a crying Shirley, the orangette had come to terms with it rather quickly however, and ever the positive girl she was relatively back to normal within a week, however Lelouch and Kallen would occasionally catch her sending Lelouch some longing looks.

And so, they went on, preparing for their rebellion.

….

They went on for the next few months, and Lelouch felt like he was improving quickly, already his body wasn't as skinny, his social status has been raised from the dark and gloomy prince of Ashford, to a funny when he wants to be grey knight, and he and Kallen had come into contact with a quite a few people on the black market, he had gained the loyalty of a few of the traders by making some of their rivals go out of business, Sayoko was proving herself far more useful then he expected, and in a while he and Kallen would be able to do these things themselves.

He had also been reading up on the tech he remembered from his previous life, his edict memory helping immensely, he had gained an interest in all things Knightmare, the tech was just so fascinating and the engineering behind it proved to be surprisingly fun to study, he may just have to build a Knightmare for himself, he now also understood why the earl of pudding and Rakshata called them their children, designing one of these things is basically rocket science, you know, if you hadn't studied that for fun like him.

With all of these activities he and Kallen had little time for dates and the like but they spent as much time together as they could, he studied engineering in his off time, at night he and Kallen established him as one of the mayor players on the black-market, and he had to go to school during the day, which he was taking more seriously now, and in the evening he trained with Sayoko and Kallen, he was only getting 4 hours of sleep a night, except for Sundays, he slept in on Sundays.

He had already accrued a few enemies in the underground but none of them knew his real name, he had already established the Demon as a figure in the underground, he kept his looks mostly the same, only wearing a large cloak.

The image he gave of was still as terrifying as ever, and he had gained a reputation as a ruthlessly efficient man that shouldn't be fucked with, most of the market didn't want to get in his way, and he had Sayoko to deal with those who did.

He also had a costume for Zero already made, each piece ordered from a different tailor, he didn't have time to make serious changes in his previous life, so it was a bit different.

He had kept the mask mostly the same save for that it was now crowned by golden horns on top of the head instead of the black spikes extending behind the head and the visor was red it could now now split into 4 pieces one for each cheek and one for each of his eyes allowing him to eat while wearing it.

Instead of a stylized suit he wore before he now wore a heavily decorated set of black body armor with golden accents, made of an mix of titanium and Kevlar it proved to be a bit bulky, but he thought it looked quite good, the black cloak he left the same save for being a darker black due to difference in fabric, he was looking into making it bulletproof but the fibers that he would need for that are still a bit out of his league, being experimental in the Britannian homeland at this point.

On an unrelated note his birthday was coming up, he would only have a few months after that to prepare.

….

"So, who exactly are we meeting today, Lelouch?"

Kallen's voice shook him out of his reverie, taking him back to were they were right now, Kallen and he were on their way to a warehouse in the industrial zone near Saitama, to meet up with one of his contacts to acquire some special resources for the demon and later the Black Knights.

He looked over at her, she was wearing disguise of course, she couldn't be seen with him here in her normal clothes, she currently wore a red cloak that covered most of her form, a black sweat suit beneath that, and red mask similar to her old one on her head, covering the vibrant red hair though which he so liked to run his fingers, no bad Lelouch back on topic.

"We are meeting the son of a noble industrialist here in Area 11, he has got himself in a spot of trouble with one of our casinos, and he is going to be repaying that debt today."

"You aren't going to have him play gigolo then." She smirked at him, don't ask him how he knew that even through her mask, he just did, she was getting better at making fun of him and he wasn't sure if he should to be happy about it or nervous, she was getting a little to much like Milly for his liking, damn that blond she-devil.

"Why Kallen if you ever want that kind of attention, you don't have to pay me for it." He said only half teasing, and he knew from the short intake of breath that she was blushing.

They entered the warehouse, their guards, two visible bodyguards, loyal men, ex-military, discharged for disagreeing with their commanders on orders, they had been working with Lelouch for a while and formed an efficient group of guards for their operation.

Of course, Sayoko was around as well, every once in a while, Lelouch would catch a glimpse of her, his perception better then ever, the noble they were to meet was alone as agreed, and Sayoko's signal of two hoots of a barn owl told him that there were no hidden men in the surrounding area.

"Marius Druiling, heir to Druiling productions and the barony of Monterey, you have what we agreed to?" Lelouch asked the blue haired young man, who stood at the end of the warehouse his slim and short form softly shaking in fear his brown eyes scanning around the warehouse, as his eyes land on Lelouch he bows at the waist.

"Of course, my lord, three of them as we agreed, and two trucks filled with extra parts." It was a miracle that the man's voice didn't crack mid-way through his sentence, as he gestured to the three trucks standing next to him, Lelouch sent Kallen and one of his guards to check if all of the agreed upon items were there, once he got that confirmed he turned back to the still scared future Noble.

"All is here as agreed, you are free to go." He said his signature smirk on his face. "It was a pleasure doing business with you."

The man smiled relieved, his form straightening, and he even cracked a small nervous smile.

"For you maybe, my lord, but it was quite hard to get three Gloucester's without raising my father's suspicion, I think I will refrain from gambling for a while."

….

So I know that some of the readers of my other story are waiting for their update, and don't worry its coming, but I am almost as bad as keeping to dead lines as grrm, so just be patient, now later guys.
