Code Geass: A.A.
Prologue
A dark haired girl resembling a well endowed Nina Einstein stood in front of Schneizel El Britannia, torturing him with her Geass which was active in both of her eyes. Her Geass of fear was strong enough to break even those who had no attachment to life nor to anything nor anyone, whom had nothing to be afraid of or rather, would never feel fear. Her method of killing ever since she had come back to life was simple, she scared her victims to death, literally.
The man in front of her was on his knees, trying to resist her Geass. She kept torturing him, even though she once loved him dearly; those feelings were now a thing of the past. The man that gave her Geass made her hate Schneizel, enough to be determined to kill him.
His actions lead to the death of her beloved older brother, harmed her beloved older sister and almost got her beloved younger sister dead. He deceived people and lied to them about things he only had a narrow understanding. What she would never be able to forgive is that he had almost killed the man she loves; if it hadn't been for the intervention of her uncle, Schneizel would have certainly succeeded.
As the sun started setting she forced him to hand her his gun, using her Geass. Using the gun, she aimed at his forehead. It was at that time that he recognized her voice, he knew who was standing in front of him and then, the fear became horror. As she slowly pressed the trigger Schneizel El Britannia could only utter one word before the gunshot that took his life was fired. "Euphy."
Chapter 1
The carvings of the twilight gate in the underground Geass ruins of Antarctica shined with a bright red illuminating the underground cave. As the twilight gate slightly opened for a few seconds, a blinding light filled the room. The closed gate's carvings were no longer shining and the only thing illuminating the cave were three light bulbs hanging several centimetres from the ceiling, a few metres away from the gate. In front of the gate were three large wooden doors, the ones on the left and the right being a few metres away from the centre one.
In the stone stairs leading to the twilight gate's platform stood Euphemia Li Britannia, looking the same way as she did after being shot by Lelouch. Her dress drenched with her own blood and her face, and hair, sprinkled with the blood of the countless innocent people she killed while under the influence of Lelouch's Geass.
"Her of all people... She certainly died yet she is here in front of me... What on earth is going on here!?" A brown haired man with blue eyes, slightly taller than Euphemia, stared at Euphemia with hate. His brown suit looked brand new and so did his white shirt and black tie. The two katanas clipped to the belt on the left was a clear sign that they were his favourite weapons.
"Whom may you be? Are you Japanese?" Euphemia asked with empty eyes, clearly under the influence of Lelouch's Geass. Immediately A.A. burst out in laughter.
"So what if I am Japanese?" The man asked the girl in a harsh tone while holding back from killing her.
"I'll have to ask you to die, I have to kill all the Japanese." She replied as if it was some simple task she had to do.
"Do you enjoy killing that much? Did you enjoy killing all those innocent people?" The Japanese man questioned the Britannian Princess as he unsheathed his katanas.
"N-no... Why did I-" She said, with tears in her eyes, while barely resisting the influence of Lelouch's Geass.
"It can't be that all that time..." He said while staring at her with a serious look. "My Geass Canceller will decide whether I should save you or condemn you to die again." The man sheathed his katanas and then closed his eyes for a few seconds revealing his code in his right eyelid and as he opened them, an inverted blue-coloured Geass appeared in his eyes. A sphere of blue light was formed around him, before his eyes returned to normal.
As Euphemia was freed from the effect of Geass she started to cry. "Why did I kill all those innocent people? What was that thing in Lelouch's eye? Why did he shoot me? Didn't I die? Why am I alive?"
He frowned, sighed and approached Euphemia. "I'll explain everything to you but, first of all, you need to calm down."
"Who are you? Where am I?" Euphemia kept asking questions while wiping the tears off her face with her hands.
The man let out a sigh. "My name is A.A. and right now you're in the underground Geass ruins of Antarctica."
"Geass?" She wondered while wiping out the remnants of make up off her face which had been ruined by her tears.
"Yes. It's also referred by some people as The Power of Kings and other names but I prefer to keep it simple and call it by its original name." A.A. was now talking in a more formal tone. "Going back to one of your questions, Geass is what you probably saw in that Lelouch's eye. Geass gives its user a special power which is different for each Geass user but, it's a cursed power. For example, there was this Chinese brat whose Geass allowed him to listen to the thoughts of the people surrounding him, though it led him to complete insanity as he had no control over it. What probably affected you is a Geass of absolute obedience, forcing you to obey any order no matter how hard you try to fight it with your own willpower."
"Why should I believe any of what you just said?" But it was then that Euphemia realized two things. One, A.A. had been talking about her father in past tense and two, his last sentence made sense in the situation that she had been. Her facial expression was of shock and slight worry. "How is this Geass power obtained?"
"By making a contract with a Code bearer; that's how I refer to the people that like me have a Geass Code." A.A. replied in a serious tone. "Throughout the past 2000 years there have been several Code bearers, we do not age and cannot be killed under normal circumstances, thus we have observed the world throughout several centuries and at certain times some even attempted to change it. After some specific events, which are not worth talking about, only three Code bearers exist in this era, C.C., V.V. or whoever that has inherited his code and me. Is it, perhaps, the reason for your question the fact that you wish to obtain Geass?"
"What benefits would I get from making a contract with you and obtain Geass? Why should I get involved with someone like you?" Euphemia asked in a harsh tone.
"My dear Euphemia, you already are involved with me. I am already part of your reality, a reality which you cannot escape. In exchange for making a contract with me, I will aid you in understanding your older brother's, Lelouch Vi Britannia's, motivation behind your death. Until all the terms of the contract are fulfilled, your life and what you do will be mine to decide. The terms of our contract are simple, you are to help me bring order back to the chaos caused in this world by V.V. and his contractor, your father, Charles Zi Britannia. Have I made myself clear for Your Highness?" A.A. replied in a harsher tone which made his words sound more like a death threat.
"Yes. I apologize for my rudeness. Still, I'm unsure on how to make a contract with you." She had clearly been intimidated by A.A.'s words.
"You are unsatisfied with your current fate, aren't you? This is a contract. In exchange for this power you must overcome your current fate and change it. If you accept this contract you will live as a human but also as one completely different. Different rules, different time, a different life. The Power of Kings may grant you happiness and fortune but it can also make you miserable and bring about misfortune. Knowing this, do you abide by this contract?" The immortal man asked Euphemia.
She nervously nodded. "Yes."
A.A. took Euphemia's right hand and kissed it. Several images of A.A.'s seemingly happy past flashed through Euphemia's mind before she caught a glimpse of one particular point of his life. A.A. stood naked, all of his body covered in blood, in a large Japanese-styled room. One of the room's doors remained open, allowing the full moon's light illuminate it. Six men and two women lay dead in the room, killed in extremely grotesque ways. C.C. stood by the open door, staring at the naked man.
"You're a monster..." The green haired woman told him.
"Yes, and as such I will take your virgin body for my own lust's pleasure..." He replied with lustful eyes. Euphemia's consciousness returned to the real world.
A.A. turned his back to her and walked towards the door on the centre. "By the way, you should take off those clothes and take a bath, you're drenched in blood. The bath is behind the door on the left. I have to go for a few hours, there's a couple of things I need to take care of . I'll get you some clothes on my way back." He said as he opened the door.
Euphemia looked puzzled. "How are you going to know if the ones you pick fit me?"
He laughed. "I know more about you than you think. Either way, use this time to relax and clear off your mind, there's plenty of things we need to talk about once I come back. " A.A. went through the door and closed it.
"Okay..." She muttered as she headed to the bath. For now, she decided to follow A.A.'s advice and spend some time in the hot tub to relax.
