OOC: I do not own Code Geass, or anything else. Juts the story itself. Much of this goes to Francis456.
Tokyo. 2018. Two months after the Battle of Mt Fuji.
Territory Under The Direct Control of The Empress. Japan.
A line of Knightmares and cars are seen going down the street. They are taking prisoners to be execution for fighting the Empress
"The one and only 99th Empress of the Holy Britannian Empire, as well as the CEO of the Black Knights and the 2nd Supreme Council Chairwoman of the United Federation of Nations, her Majesty, Euphemia li Britannia."
Euphemia sat on her throne on the float. Her face is of clam, and certainty.
"And Behold. The foolish people who rebelled against Empress Euphemia are being transported to execution grounds."
They are line up, and are tie up. Some are Suzaku Kururugi, Kaname Ohgi, Shinichirō Tamaki, Kyoshirou Tohdoh, Nagisa Chiba, Li Xingke, Jiang Lihua, Kaguya Sumeragi, Gino Weinberg, Anya Alstreim, and others. Then they is Schneizel el Britannia. He used to be the Second Prince and the Prime Minister. Now is just a man in rags and chains. Overlooking him are the cyborg Kewell Soresi, AKA, 'Hornet', Knight Juhani, Knight of the Round Nonette Enneagram, and Warrant Officer Emile. All 4 are looking on, proud of they Empress.
"From the previous war, even though we suffered the noble losses of the capital of Pendragon and of many soldiers, including the Knight of Rai, Lady Kallen Stadtfeld."
A great and large graveyard is show. It's night. The tombstone of Kallen Stadtfeld is they. The cat, Arthur, looks at it with the most unique look the cat could give.
"With the E.U's ratification of the U.F.N charter, our Empress, Euphemia, has finally completed her glorious goal of unifying the world."
They, on Euphemia float, in a red dress that show a little too much, and chains, was Nunnally vi Britannia. She looks down in shame. Shame for not stopping her half-sister from taking over Damocles, and thous the world. She wish her brother was still alive and was with her.
"Glory to Empress Euphemia! All hail Britannia." All hail Euphemia!"
"Glory my ass."
"This is just tyranny."
"Killing all that disobey her..."
"If someone hears you...your entire clan will be killed!"
All of this came from the crowds made to watch this.
From a newsroom. "For us to have no choice, but to report her deeds as justice." Said one as Milly Ashford read something over, eyes fill with sadness.
"Euphie... is this what you wanted to accomplish? To control the world...and everyone?" Ask Rivalz Cardemonde as he looks from the crowds.
Maximum security prison
"Everyone's so dumb. If only they didn't defy Euphemia back there..." Said Rakshata Chawla to the ones in her cell. "It was for the sake of embracing the future. Even with the repetition of success and failures, we still move on. Aren't humans the same as science?" Said Cécile Croomy. "That is evolution." Said Lloyd Asplund. "You mean, progress, Pudding Earl." Correction the Indian. "The fact your're still calling me that...means you still have a grudge for that?" "Well take a guess." Nina Einstein looks to Cécile. "Lloyd and Rakshata. Did something happen between them in the past?" She ask. "It was a very minor thing. Looking back at it now, it was an innocent started point, that's all." Said Croomy. "Sometimes, something really small, becomes something big as a monster." Said Visas Marr out of the blue.
The execution parade.
Out from a window of a building, members of a rebel group looks on. They are Cornelia li Britannia, Villetta Nu, Yoshitaka Minami, Zhou Xianglin, Gilbert G.P. Guilford, Joshua Graham, Jun and Ulysses.
"Euphie...you use to be my sister, and i what to still think the same...but..." Cornelia thinks to herself about her little sister. She loved Euphie. It was her and Nunnally reported death in the war in 2010 that made her the racist the world knew her as. It was her sister and half sister fake deaths that made her into the Goddess of Victory, and the Witch of Britannia. But after everything, from the first Black Rebellion to what happen in China, to the Battle of Mt Fuji, to this right now. Her sister was gone. The only thing in her place was this evil tyrant of the world, using Euphie name and face. This woman had done what Alexander the Great, Hannibal,Caesar, Genghis Khan, Attila the Hun, Napoléon, and many of the past Emperor fail to do. Take over the whole world.
They all looks out the widow at this paraded. "Ah, Ohgi!" Said Villetta as she saw her lover on the float with the others. She turns to go down and save him, but is stop by Cornelia, and Ulysses. "Going out now is exactly what he wants us to do." She said to Nu. "And you will put the baby life in danger." Said the leader of the Blue Coats, a group wanted to started a new 'United States of America.' The duster coat with the flag of the Patriots was as much evidence to his ideas. Graham looks to the others. "God will help us. As we are in the valley of evil, he will be with us." He said. They look just at the crazy burn man, leader of the New Zion group.
"Emile. You was always the aggressive. Always looking for a fight, but even this is not you!" The Chinese sniper yell in his mind at his old friend. Most of Noble was died. Six was MIA, and Emile joins up with the Empress? As he thought this, he and the others heard gasps came form the crowds outside.
They, at the far end of the road, was someone. A woman. The woman had on a dark pink cloak with a black hamlet with a dark pink circle at the front with a white kanji symbol. The rest was also pink, but not the girlish kind. It was...
"Rei?"
"Rei!"
"Rei!?"
"Rei?!
"Rei?"
"Rei..."
"Rei!"
"Rei?!"
"Rei..."
"Rei."
Many could not believe they eyes. It was the her! Rei the hero! Euphemia faces goes to pure fear. "But it can't be! Euphie right they!" Suzaku said to himself, almost yelling, but not. If Euphie was on the float, then who...
Rei then starts to ran with inhuman speed right at the convoy. The Knightmares opens fire, but Rei dodge all they bullets. "Hold you fire! I deal with this rebel!" Yell 'Hornet'. His sword comes out his arm and he charge at Rei. Rei jumps in the air, lands on Kewell, and use him to jump into the air again. As Kewell fells.. "Go, mask Knight." Rei lands on Schneizel float. The black Russian woman attack the mask woman with her sword, the light green knight with her sword, and the Ethiopian with his kukri. All 3 are taking down by Rei with hits to the guts and sides. "Please let this work." Juhani thinks. "Good luck, you going to need it." Thought Emile. "Well, it been fun." Thinks Nonette.
Rei jumps onto the Empress float, right in front of Nunnally, and then jumps right in front of the Empress. She rise from her throne. "You foolish terrorist!" She yell as she pull out a hand-gun, but Rei use her sword to knock it out of her hand. It's is sent flying into the air. Euphemia takes a step back as the mask leader readys the sword. As she about to attack, Euphemia thinks back.
Throne room. Pendragon. Homeland. Empire. A few months before Battle of Mt Fuji.
"Kallen. You are shall kill me."
"Do you really what to do this, Euphie?"
It's Euphemia and Kallen. Euphemia is holding the Rei mask.
"All the hate of the whole world is on me, just as plan. All you got to do is kill me, and put a end to it all." She offer the mask to Kallen. "The Black Knights got Rei to lead them. Schneizel will work for the Black Knights. So will Hornet, Nonette, Juhani, Emile, and the others. And the world can, at last, be united. Not by armies, or WMD's, but with words, and reason. It can at last go to the future, and embrace it." She offer the mask to Kallen. She looks at it for a minute, and then takes it. "And that's the..." "Yes. The Rei Requiem."
Rei is about to attack the Empress. Nunnally eyes are fill with fear for what is about to happen. Suzaku cry out.
"We understood it inside C's world. That the people what's...they desire the future." Said Kallen, soon to be Rei. "Hey Kallen, Don't you think wishes and Geass are one in the same?" Euphemia ask this to Kallen. "What?"
Rivalz cry out as he sees his high school about to get ran through.
Milly turns to see the TV, eyes fell with shock.
"Things that you can't do, or games you can't win with your own skills, you ask for the help and aid of others." "Wishes..hmm." Kallen thinks on this as Euphemia say more. "I'm going to gamble on Geass...for the sake of the future."
Kaguya realize what is about to happen.
Cornelia call to the other members the time is now, but not without a fear tears.
In a church, a very old Code Bearer, praying to God. "Euphemia...is this your price for your actions? Or your Geass?" The old woman let's out a tear, praying to God to save Euphemia.
"Only thous who are prepared to fire, should be fire at."
Ohgi and Tamaki calls out.
Jiang turns her head away.
Rei sword heads for the Empress chest.
"Kallen. You will be the hero now. You be Rei, savior of the whole world who rescued everyone from the great evil and enemy of the Earth, Euphemia li Britannia."
The sword goes into Euphemia chest and out the back. Everyone just stood they in total shock in what just happen. They was total silence. Under the mask, a waterfall of tears came from Kallen eyes. "This is also a punishment for you..." Euphemia whisper to Rei. "You will be the defender of justice and wear a mask forever. You will no longer be Kallen Stadtfeld. Or Kallen Kōzuki." She is able put her head on the mask. It's cove in blood. "You will give up everything. All your happiness and joy for the world..forevermore." "I...accept..." Kallen is able to say.
Euphemia hands drops as Rei pull the sword out. Euphemia takes a few steps as her life stars to go away from her body. She drops and slides down the ramp, stopping right in front of Nunnally. Euphemia does not have very long. "Big...sister?" Nunnally is able to ask her half-sister. Said half sister does not make eye contact. Nunnally takes Euphemia hand, and sees it. Memories. Memories of Euphie, Kallen, and the old woman, Kreia in a old place. Memories of Euphie with the Rei mask, giving it to Kallen. "No..you...you was..along?" Nunnally try to say. Euphemia looks at her half-sister. And with the last of her life. "Yes...i...destroy worlds...in order...to make...new ones..." And with Euphemia li Britannia died, eyes close. "No! Euphie! Open your eyes! Please! Euphie!" Nunnally cry's out for her. Rei stands on the float in victory, sword still in hand.
"Euphemia the demon has died!" Yell Cornelia from a building. "Release the hostages!" She orders to her group, who rush out, and to the crowds. The crowds rush out to help, even members of Euphemia Guard help. Kewell smiles, then serious kicks in. "This is bad! Retreat! We must pull back!" He yells into his Commlink, part of the plan, as the other 3 just look at Rei, knowing the plan as work. Gino and Tohdoh started to connect the dots. 'Is..that..could ti really be..." They about to say it, but Suzaku stops them. "No! It's...it's Rei!"
"This is unfair!" Nunnally say to Euphemia body. "I would've been happy just being, Euphie. "I... I can't bear a funture without you, Euphie...sister. I just can't..." She fully breaks down and cry's into chest. This is when everyone started to chant the name of they hero, drowning out the cry's of a girl wanted her sister back.
"Rei! Rei! Rei! Rei! Rei! Rei! Rei! Rei! Rei!"
