Fixing Mistakes

by Trace Carter

In response to my own challenge. As Lelouch closed his eyes and accepted his death, he wished that he could fix things, so Nunnally wouldn't have to cry. Fortunately for him, an all powerful entity owed him a favor. Second time's the charm...right? rated M because I'm paranoid. Now with sonofcreation as a co-writer

Code Geass

Fixing Mistakes

Alright, in response to my own Code Geass Challenge I am writing my first Code Geass story. Funny fact, this story is a result of me having a dream that motivated me to write. I actually have not seen much of the anime, but have read lots of fanfiction, so hopefully I can fill in the blanks where it is needed, but forgive me if it isn't the best work I've done.

Some scenes here will be inspired from R4 by Eternal Payne

Disclaimer: Trace Carter doesn't own Code Geass. Though I would like a Geass.

Chapter 1: Shinjuku awakening

xXBlack KingXx

'So this is my fate,' thought the Demon Emperor Lelouch as he lay in a puddle of his own blood while it flowed out of a stab wound in his chest, 'perhaps this is what I deserve.'

As his energy faded, he noticed that his sister, Nunnally, had taken his hand and stiffened in shock and horror.

'So you figured it out,' thought Lelouch as Nunnaly began to cry and begged him to stay with her, "Yes, I destroy worlds…and create them…anew."

As Lelouch's eyes began to close for their final time, he gazed at Nunnaly's face, 'My only regret, is that I can't go back and make sure you would never cry like this.'

"Is that what you want?" asked a voice that was filled with power and authority, "Then I shall grant that wish, and repay my debt."

"He must not die!"

Lelouch's eyes snapped open and he found himself standing in a familiar ruined building in the Shinjuku Ghetto, watching as his companion and contractor CC took a bullet that was meant for him.

'Could it be?' thought the former Demon Emperor.

"Do you have any last words?" asked the soldier that had shot CC.

"Just one," said Lelouch as his Geass flared in his eye, "Obey!"

"Yes your highness!" said the soldiers as they stood at attention.

"Now," said Lelouch, "disrobe and shoot yourselves, but do not get any blood on the clothes."

Once the soldiers were dead, Lelouch took a gun from one of them and waited. Just as expected, a Knightmare Frame arrived in the ruined building.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" asked the pilot.

"My name is Allen Spacer," said Lelouch, using the same story as the previous time, "My father is a duke. I require an escort out of the ghetto. My ID is in my pocket."

Just like last time, the cockpit opened and Villetta Nu emerged.

"Obey!" said Lelouch as he activated his Geass.

'Should I follow the script?' thought Lelouch, 'it didn't go that well last time. I think I have an idea.'

"You will give me your Knightmare," said Lelouch, "then you will remain here for fifteen minutes before returning to your allies. You will not investigate this incident and if anyone instructs you too, you will pretend to and tell them you couldn't find any information."

"Yes your highness," said Villetta, "the code is XG21G2D4."

Lelouch climbed into the Sutherland and drove out of the building.

"So we begin again," said Lelouch.

Kallen Koizuki was having an interesting day. The last thing she remembered was seeing the death of Lelouch the Demon Emperor at the hands of Zero, and realizing the truth behind the events that were happening. The next thing she knew, she was back at the Shinjuku Ghetto incident piloting her old Glascow.

"What the hell is going on?" she exclaimed as she took down an enemy Sutherland with her slash harkens.

"The west entrance," said a familiar voice over the radio, "use the tracks to move to the west entrance."

Kallen smirked. It looked like time really had reset.

"Right," said Kallen as she jumped onto the railroad tracks.

"Pathetic Eleven," growled one of the enemy pilots, "all you do is run."

"Now," said the voice, "jump onto the train."

Kallen jumped and ended up on a passing train.

"You won't get away," growled an enemy pilot, "target that Glascow!"

Suddenly, one of the Sutherlands turned and opened fire on its comrades, giving Kallen a chance to take them out with her slash harkens.

"Friendly fire?" exclaimed one unit as the Sutherland fired on it forcing the pilot to eject.

"Thanks for that," said Kallen as she turned to see that the Sutherland that had saved her had vanished, 'Just like last time,' she thought.

"Kallen!" called Ohgi, the leader of the resistance cell that Kallen was a part of.

"He contacted you as well?" asked Kallen, though she knew the answer.

"Yeah," said Ohgi, "Yoshida's group should be arriving soon as well."

Soon the rest of the resistance group arrived and the radio activated again.

"Are you the one in charge?" asked the voice.

"Yes," said Ohgi.

"Then I present to you the contents of this train. Use them to secure your victory. If you wish to win however, you should follow my orders."

Kallen used her Knightmare to rip open the container and reveal numerous brand new Sutherland Knightmare Frames.

"What do you think Ohgi?" asked one of the resistance members.

"The guy seems legit," said another.

"Alright," said Ohgi, "what do you need us to do?"

"I will be giving you special codenames for this operation," said the voice, "woman in the Glascow, what is the status of your Energy filler?"

"About 15 minutes," said Kallen.

"Recharge it," said the voice, "your group will run decoy."

Suzaku opened his eyes and winced from the bright light overhead. He wondered why he had a pain in his chest area and how he ended up on what felt like a hospital cot.

"So are we having a bad day?" asked a familiar voice.

Suzaku turned to see Loyd sitting next to his bed and realized that he wasn't wearing the mask of Zero or the uniform.

"Is something the matter?" asked Loyd as Suzaku looked around to see if he could find the uniform.

"You're lucky to be alive," said Cecile as she walked into the room, "this watch saved your life."

Suzaku looked and was shocked to see Cecile holding up his father's pocket watch.

'That watch, I lost it after the Shinjuku incident,' thought Suzaku, 'but that means…'

"Private Kururugi," said Loyd, "have you had any experience in piloting a Knightmare Frame?"

"Just a bit," said Suzaku, knowing where this was going, "but I thought Elevens couldn't become Knights?"

"Well," said Loyd, "I'm offering you the chance to pilot the only Knightmare of its kind. What do you say?"

"I'll do it," said Suzaku.

"Are you sure this isn't a trap," said Tamaki as he settled into the cockpit of a Sutherland, "the IFF beacons are disabled."

"Our enemies have the advantage," said Ohgi, "they have no need for traps. Let's move."

"P1, are you in position?" asked the voice over the radio.

"We are," said Ohgi, "what can we call you?"

"I can't give you my real name," said the voice, "now get ready, your enemies should be approaching. Shoot through the wall in t-23 seconds."

"Are you kidding me?" exclaimed Tamaki, "How can we trust you if we don't even know your name?"

"Let's get into positions," said Ohgi.

"You're actually listening to him?" exclaimed Tamaki.

"Three, two, one, FIRE!"

The Sutherlands fired at the wall, their bullets tearing through the concrete and taking out the enemy Knightmares that passed by.

"P1, P4, P7," said the voice, "move a hundred meters to the right and fire your harkens at 3 o'clock!"

xXGrey RookXx

"The enemy is moving towards G 28!" said an officer.

"Send Laslo's…I mean Glaubley's Squad!" yelled Bartley.

"Does this mean they have military weaponry?" said Prince Clovis.

"Sir Glaubey has ejected," said an officer, "his unit has been lost!"

"Change our codes," yelled Bartley, "they're intercepting our transmissions!"

"We've already done it four times!" exclaimed an officer.

"Do it again!" said Bartley.

"Good afternoon," said Loyd cheerily as he walked into the room.

"What is it?" growled Bartley, "We're in the middle of an operation!"

"I just thought I'd offer the services of the ASEEC's special weapon," said Loyd.

"Not now!" growled Clovis, "We're in the middle of an operation."

xXBlack KingXx

Lelouch smirked as he watched Clovis's forces frantically try to counter his maneuvers. He had had the resistance members head into the subway systems to get into position under the streets as the Brittanian Knightmare Frames approached.

"And with this, I call check," said Lelouch before instructing the resistance members to destroy the supports for the subway system, causing the road to cave in.

xXGrey RookXx

"Who the hell could be commanding them?" exclaimed Clovis, "He's better than Todoh even was. Loyd!"

"Yes, your highness?" asked Loyd.

"Can it win? Can your toy beat them?" asked Clovis.

Loyd smiled, "Your highness, the Lancelot will do more than that."

xXWhite KnightXx

"So did you read the manual?" asked Cecile as Suzaku boarded the Lancelot.

"Yup," said Suzaku, "cover to cover." It wasn't even a lie. He did read the manual, before he was sent back to the past.

"Impressive," said Cecile, "well, be careful out there."

"Don't worry about me," said Suzaku, "I'll end this."

Suzaku then launched from the hanger and into the battle zone.

xXBlack King/Red QueenXx

Lelouch watched all that was happening through the readout in his stolen Sutherland.

'If I'm not mistaken, then the Lancelot will be making its debut soon,' thought Lelouch, "All forces, prepare to fall back. Use the old tunnels to escape."

"What the hell?" exclaimed Tamaki over the radio, "We're winning!"

"The Britannian forces have deployed an experimental Knightmare Frame," said Lelouch, "it can easily outperform any other Knightmare frame currently in existence. You won't survive an encounter with it."

"Alright," said Kallen's voice, "let's get out of here."

"Are you kidding me, Kallen?" exclaimed Tamaki.

"This guy has delivered us a victory because we trusted him," said Kallen, "the least we can do is put our faith in him and trust that he knows what he's talking about."

"Alright," said Ohgi, "we're pulling out."

"Now then," said Lelouch as he turned off the radio, "time for my next objective."

xXWhite KnightXx

Suzaku was confused as he piloted the Lancelot around the ghettos. From his memories of the previous timeline, there should be more terrorists moving through the ghettos. He only ran into a few retreating Knightmare frames.

"What's going on?" Suzaku wondered to himself.

Suddenly, there was a broadcast over the radio.

"This is Clovis la Britannia, Third Prince of the Holy Britannian Empire. I am ordering an immediate cease-fire! You are also to cease all destruction of buildings and property and treat all casualties, be they Britannian or Eleven, as equals. I shall allow no further fighting."

'Looks like Lelouch made his move,' thought Suzaku.

xXCheckmateXx

"Was that satisfactory?" asked Clovis, once he turned off the intercom.

"Very much so," said a man wearing a Britannian royal guard uniform that was pointing a gun to Clovis's head.

"So what now?" asked Clovis, "Do we sing a few songs, or play a game of chess?"

The figure let out a dark chuckle, "Of course not. You stink at chess."

The man pulled off his helmet and cast it aside to reveal the face of Lelouch.

"Lelouch!" exclaimed Clovis, "You're alive!"

"Obviously," said Lelouch, "now, give me a copy of all data pertaining to Code-R, and delete the original files."

"Yes, of course," said Clovis as Lelouch's geass took over, "my ring has a microchip with all the data."

Lelouch then took the ring from Clovis's finger and pocketed it, "Now, dear brother. Any last requests?"

"Lelouch!" exclaimed Clovis in a panic, "You can't kill me! We're family!"

"You slaughtered helpless civilians," said Lelouch, "all to fix a mistake you made. The only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed."

And with that, Lelouch pulled the trigger, ending the battle of the Shinjuku ghetto once again.
