After Zero killed Lelouch Lamperouge, it seemed that there would be peace. There was for a few years, however it had been ingrained in Britannian society that they were inherently better than Numbers, and they could not rest as being their equals. A coup d'état of elite Britannians dethroned Nunnally, the acting Empress, and detained Suzaku Kururugi, the acting Zero. The 101st Emperor became Cornelia li Britannia. I have to admit that Lelouch touched me; I now have a new wish. I wish to part from a changed world.

After Cornelia seized power, she sent a large faction of the military to capture C.C. knowing that Lelouch received his power from her. It had been sixteen years since Lelouch's death, and they hadn't caught her yet. It was beyond their realm of belief that she was immortal, and therefore they were extremely confused, and had a minimal chance of ever truly catching her. She had begun killing every soldier who got a good look at her, because she didn't want them to know she didn't age.

C.C. had yet to find someone to give geass to. She decided they needed to have the same specs as Lelouch if they were to win. Lelouch spoke to her now, as Marianne once had. She left it up to him to find his successor.

"What's first Lelouch? It's time." She said smiling up into the sun, laying the hay of Jeremiah's cart. She allied herself with Jeremiah Gottwald, Anya Alstreim and Kallen Stadtfeld. When it was possible she based with them, though she had run all over the world from Cornelia.

I think it would be best if you freed Suzaku, and then found a new Zero with his help.

"I've been thinking as well! Why can't Suzaku become the new Zero again?"

Suzaku does not have my drive. He is weak. I want someone who puts this goal above all else, including family. That was my biggest mistake. Lelouch said, referring to Nunnally.

"I see…" C.C. said. She truly missed Lelouch's face, the passion in his eyes. She loved him.

…

"Your Majesty, don't you think it would be best to utilize what we now know about…the supernatural" Guilford said to Cornelia. The other advisors agreed. Cornelia was opposed to Geass, and all things that surrounded it, because of what it had done to her sister.

"No. I am going to rid the world of that devil magic, all it brings is grief." Cornelia could tell that her advisors thought she was foolish. She didn't care.

"Can someone tell me if we have made any progress in capturing that GIRL? She is the reason for all of this. If we kill her we will have victory!" Cornelia fumed as the council stared at her in fright.

"My lord, we are not able to catch her. She kills…well everyone who tries. We can't confirm any changes in her appearance. It's like she is a ghost."

"Do you mean to tell me that my brother Clovis once caught a little girl, and I, with my entire army, as EMPRESS OF BRITANNIA, CANNOT EVEN TOUCH HER!" She screamed.

"It would seem."

…

Rio Weinberg was the son of Gino Weinberg, the Knight of One. He went to Ashford academy in the Area 11 settlement. He was born almost a year after the war ended. His family was so incredibly wealthy that he went home in the summer to a huge, empty mansion. His mother left when he was two, and his father was never home.

Rio was sort of the it-boy at Ashford academy. He had straight blonde hair, and dark blue eyes. Girls adored him, but he liked to play cool like he couldn't be bothered. His grades were mediocre because he knew that he would always have money and didn't need to make any of his own, though he was incredibly smart. His father said he got his brains from his mother. Whoever that bitch was.

"RIO!" Kira Nu called. Kira Nu, the most beautiful girl at Ashford academy, was calling to him. Kira had green eyes and silver hair that went just past her shoulders. She wasn't so popular because she was at the top of the class, so people were jealous. She was Rio's best friend though. They often had debates on politics. They both agreed that they secretly resented the Cornelia regime, and longed for the times of Zero. Kira had a more violent personality than Rio however.

His father gave Rio a 43rd generation Knightmare Frame for his sixteenth birthday. He couldn't really get the hang of it like Kira had. It made him more of a disappointment to his father, who was the best pilot in Britannia. People expected great things from him because of that, and it made people like him who didn't really know him. Rio had other interests however. He wanted to become an activist for the rights of Numbers. He was nobility after all, so he was sure it could happen. Kira's family didn't really have money, and he had never met her dad. Her mother was Viletta Nu, a former governemt spy. Kira usually was at Rio's house all summer.

They were making their way to student council. Kira was the vice president, and Rio was the treasurer. The president was Kist Ashford, the son of star news anchor Milly Ashford. His mother had put a lot of pressure on him to be the president. Kist was openly homosexual, and had full support from the student council. He had strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes, and was extremely optimistic. The secretary was Coral Crest, an awkward girl with dark hair.

They were discussing a theme for the next ball when an alert popped up on the television. Suzaku Kururugi had escaped from high security prison, and was number one on the most wanted list as of now. The TV created a holographic projection into the room of Kururugi's entire body, exactly to size. He was a tall Japanese man. He was muscular, and had short cut hair and some facial hair around his mouth. So this was the man who had helped Lelouch all those years ago.

…

C.C. had hacked into the prison security. The prison was located on an island, with mines around it. There was one bridge to get to the island, heavily guarded. Her phone showed a holographic projection of the prison, and island. She memorized the locations of the mines, and decided to swim. She didn't need to breathe for at least an hour before she'd pass out, and in dire situations her adrenaline allowed her to go longer. She dived into the water and swam as fast and deep as she could. She had to dodge the security bubbles, as they were called, large circular cameras that floated around, with 360 degrees of view. Their weak spot was that they could only see for a few meters.

She finally reached the base and climbed ashore. She checked her map. She would go through the sewer lines. When she exited, she was on the lowest floor, Suzaku was on the highest. She waited for a guard to pass and then hopped out silently, and followed him close behind so the cameras wouldn't notice. She pulled out a knife and stabbed him, then had to carry his weight, just like that, to a bathroom stall, where she changed into his clothes. She looked completely awkward but hurried to an elevator. It required a code and a blood recognition sample. Fuck that. Luckily she had the guards blood all over her hand, and the master key elevator code from when she hacked the system. She typed in CY7G819R. The elevator opened.

The elevator stopped and a fierce looking man entered. He eyed her suspiciously. He had to die. She knew that the elevator would have a camera, so she couldn't attack him. She held out her hand, he took it, "What is your na-?"

C.C. sent him shock images that would keep him stunned. When she reached the top floor she hurried to Suzaku's cell, trying to look unsuspicious in the oversized clothes, and hat stuffed full of green hair.

She found the cell and unlocked it with the master key code. Suzaku looked like a shell of himself, though he was still fit, and attractive. She took off her hat. He gaped and jumped up. "Suzaku we have to go!" She said grabbing his hand. They ran, seconds later the alarm sounded.

They easily dodged the incoming bullets and killed the guards with their fists. C.C. they couldn't get back into the elevator because the building was on lock down. More guards came.

"Did you have an escape plan?" he asked.

"No!" C.C. said, she grabbing his hand.

You don't want to die here? If I gave you power, could you go on? You will live a life with humans, but live in an alternate existence at the same time. You must make my one wish come true in exchange for this power. If you can accept the terms of this contract, than you will have the power of the king.

"I ACCEPT!" Suzaku screamed.

Nothing seemed to happen, the guards kept coming though. C.C. Blocked Suzaku from the bullets, she fell to the ground and they stopped. As they got closer, Suzaku attacked and killed them. He picked up C.C. and ran out the way the guards had come, there were more guards coming but they ran right past. Suzaku realized he had the power to become invisible.

He actually had the power to alter what people saw when they looked at him, or whatever they were looking at, but he doesn't know yet. Get ready for the next chapter! I'm on summer break so it'll be quick! It took some real consideration to figure out a geass for him…REVIEW! And FAVORITE!
