This world is rotten, Light Yagami thought as he looked out the window, bored out of his mind. After all, the teacher was just reading some text from a book he had right in front of him, so he could easily catch up. Right before he was about to look back to his book, though, he saw a notebook fall from high up. He looked at it in confusion and decided to check it out after school was over. When he went to check it out, he found that it was called a Death Note, and that supposedly any human who's name was written in it would die.
It's probably just a joke, Light thought, putting the book back in the grass and walking away. It's not much different from chain letters, really. "Any human who's name is written in this note shall die"?
But before Light headed home, he went back and picked the notebook up, deciding to test it out and see if it was actually real.
While Light was discovering the powers of the Death Note, Lelouch Lamperouge was trying not to die. He had just found a strange girl in the back of a truck he had stumbled into, and now that girl was lying dead at his feet.
How can this be? First Suzaku died, then this girl, and now I'm going to die...before I had a chance to do anything with my life...And Nunnally! Lelouch thought desperately as he kneeled before the girl in front of him. She suddenly grabbed his hand and offered to make a contract with him to give him power. He accepted this contract and soon had the power of Geass. He made the soldiers in front of him kill themselves before crouching down next to the girl again.
"I don't understand what it is you wanted me to do...why did you give me this bizarre power?" he muttered before a Knightmare suddenly came in. Lelouch used his Geass on the pilot so that he could make his escape. Once he was out of the warehouse, he helped the Elevens who were trying to fight off the Britannians and then headed for where the commander would be. Once he was alone with his half-brother, Prince Clovis La Britannia, he revealed who he was before asking for details of his mother's death using his Geass.
"My brother, second Prince Schneizel and second Princess Cornelia...they can tell you..." Clovis muttered, under the influence of Geass.
Once Lelouch confirmed that this was all he knew, he pointed his gun to Clovis' head as Clovis said, "I swear it wasn't me! I had nothing to do with it!"
"I believe you..." Lelouch said, lowering the gun. "However..."
"Please you can't do this!" Clovis said as Lelouch put the gun right in front of his face. "We may have different mothers but you and I are still blood!"
"You can't change the world without getting your hands dirty," Lelouch stated before pulling the trigger.
A/N: Okay, so this was basically just a small little setup chapter...I pretty much copied the lines straight from the show and put them here, but next chapter will be much more exciting! Which is why I'm putting up two chapters at once, so that you don't have to wait! XD So anyways, enjoy the next chapter!
