Hehehe... ._. I've been quite busy with adventurequest worlds ^-^" I was kinda concentrating on that for the last few days v.v" And I know, I am not finished my other story, but hey, it's a yolo life. And thus, I have decided to start with this one xD
I really have no idea how i got this idea to be honest... I'm not to sure if this plan will even work ._. So fingers crossed? xD
But anyway, I do not own Code Geass or anything xD ^-^
Slowly, very slowly, the sun was raising. But through out that time, rain was pouring on the ground. Drip, drop, were the sounds that echoed around that area. But meanwhile, in a building, a single figure sat by the window, in his hands was a simple book about the wars of the past. His amethyst scanned the pages as the words registered into his head.
The room that he sat in was empty, silent, hallow. The furniture was all monochrome themed, and the only sound you could hear was the rain pouring down and the constant ticking of the clock, indicating that it was only six in the morning. But he was still reading, he was already ready for the day ahead of him. And so, with the remaining hours before school started, he spent his time reading.
But then, soft creaking noises were heard as he looked up, only to be greeted with the sight of his blind sister, still in her pink nightgown. Her eyes closed and her hair slightly messed up.
"Nunnally, shouldn't you be asleep?" He asked softly with fondness in his voice as he stood up and walked towards her, leaving his book by the window.
Laughing a sweet laugh, one that reminded him of gentle bells, Nunnally replied. "Then shouldn't you be asleep as well? You still have two hours before you should have woke up."
"I guess you're right, but you should still get some sleep. It's not healthy for you to be up at this time."
"I will, but I want you to come with me."
"Of course," replied Lelouch as he took her small hand. It was a normal routine for them, Lelouch would wake up at four and read for two hours, and then Nunnally would wake up at six and ask him to come to her bedroom with her.
As they both got into the bed, Lelouch draped the simple white cover over Nunnally's fragile form with a small smile on his face. Yes, the most important person in his life, his only meaning to live. His beautiful little sister, Nunnally, he thought as he fell asleep in bliss, knowing that his sister was safe for another day.
As Lelouch re-opened his eyes, he looked out the window and saw that the sun was present in the sky. Slowly getting out of the bed, careful not to disturb his sister's blissful sleep, he stood up and left the room.
Straightening all the crease marks on his uniform, Lelouch placed his shoes on before getting his simple school bag.
But before leaving, Lelouch quickly wrote a small note for his dear sister and his maid that became more like a mother to him through out the years.
I might be home late today, Rivilz and I have a meeting to go to. But don't worry, I already prepared your favorite dish for dinner. Just ask Sayoko to warm it up.
Remember to take care and Sayoko, thank you for taking care of Nunnally once again.
From Lelouch.
As Lelouch entered the school grounds, he saw that hardly anyone was there. But it was expected, because once again, he was half an hour early.
So like normal, he made his way to the school library, a place where he would be granted peace. But to be honest, that was just a lie.
And like usual, a strong hand grabbed his shoulder and pulled him backwards, causing him to stumble a bit before regaining his balance.
Looking up, he was greeted with emerald eyes.
"Ah, I'm so sorry,"apologized Suzaku as he tried to help his friend, but all Lelouch did was wave it off.
"No worries, but I am sure that you want to tell me something? It's not everyday that you do that," said Lelouch sarcastically as he dragged on the word 'everyday'. Because to be honest, Suzaku would always do that to him since the start of the year. But that was already a couple of months ago.
But all that Suzaku did was smile sheepishly while a soft blush appeared on his face. His heart beating rapidly as he tried to avert his eyes away. Ah, yes. The normal feeling that I get whenever I try to tell Lelouch something. Something important, he sighed in his head as his right hand played with a piece of paper in his jacket pocket.
"Yeah... I wanted to give-" He said in the strongest voice he could muster before as voice interrupted his own.
"Lulu!" Yelled a blonde haired boy as he ran over to the shocked amethyst eyed boy. Instantly, as if on instinct, he grabbed Lelouch in a bone crushing hug. "So, have you decided the day of our date yet?" He asked with a grin plastered on his face.
Meanwhile, Suzaku was raging inside. "Gino, I was trying to give Lelouch something!" He accused angrily as Gino placed his head on the struggling Lelouch.
"But I'm talking to my Lulu," whined Gino as he added extra effect on the word 'my', causing Suzaku to punch him.
"He isn't yours!"
"He is so!"
"He never confirmed it! You've just been harassing him since the start of the year!"
"And you've not?"
"I'm his best friend!"
"Ha! So you have haven't denied it! You have been harassing Lulu and your only his best friend!"
Giving out a frustrated sigh, Suzaku glared at the smirking blonde. "And you haven't denied it either, you've been harassing him as well!"
"Nope! Lulu's my-"
"Alright! Both of you, please, shut up," ordered Lelouch as the two teens looked over towards him, only to be greeted with a frustrated smile and a pair of eyes that held a dangerous glint to them.
As the three of them walked to class, Suzaku and Gino could not stop glaring at each other while arguing. The whole school knew that they were love rivals for Lelouch, and both would always make it obvious.
But despite that, Lelouch would just watch from the sidelines, smiling inwardly to himself at their childish behavior. Because, he wishes that life could just stay like this. With everyone of his friends and his dear sister living happily, getting into petty arguments and having fun. Yes, for now, Lelouch was content with his life.
"Mr Lamperouge," spoke the teacher with a glare fixed in his eyes as he looked at the half awake teenager.
"Yes sir?" Asked Lelouch nonchalantly as the teacher's glare turned more fierce. Needless to say, Lelouch's attitude was irritating the teacher.
"Would you care to tell us when did the German Nazis invade Poland during the second world war?" Challenged the teacher as Lelouch smirked.
"They invaded on the first of September, 1939, one week after the signing of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact."
"Hm, so they did." Muttered the teacher before returning to his spot next to the white board.
With that, Lelouch turned his face towards the window. The cherry blossom trees were in full bloom and the grass was lush green. The clear blue sky and the shimmering sun made the view look more like a picture then reality, was his thought as he rested his head on his hand.
"Checkmate." Stated Lelouch as he placed the pawn down, all while staring into the bewildered eyes of the nobleman who sat before him. All the servants around them stared at the game with shock written on their faces.
A few seconds passed before the nobleman began laughing. "My, my. Such a smart young boy, aren't you?" He asked with his deep voice as he clapped his hands slowly. "I shall hold true to my words though, I can't destroy a little boy's pride. £500 shall be yours, I have no use for it anyway."
Smirking, Lelouch replied. "And I thank you for your generosity."
"Aw great," whined Rivilz as he stopped his motorbike while Lelouch looked away from his book. "There's going to be a traffic jam now..."
"So it would seam," was the reply that Lelouch gave his friend as his eyes narrowed. "Look over there," said Lelouch as he pointed to the right.
"Knightmare frames," whispered Rivilz in awe and shock.
"The military. Something must have happened." Said Lelouch as he took his helmet off and placed it in the vehicle alongside the book that he was reading.
"Wait, your not really going over there!"
"Why not? Just head back to the academy with out me, just say that I had to collect something." Instructed Lelouch before he disappeared.
"Aw man!"
With every step he took towards the area that the military claimed, he received more and more questioning stares, until finally a solider pulled his arm, forcing Lelouch to face him.
"State your business here, I don't think a school boy like you should be wandering around these grounds." Came a gruff voice from the man.
"I was merely wondering why the military is here. It is not everyday that this happens..." Was the reply he gave as the man narrowed his eyes.
"It isn't your place to question his highness's orders. You should return back to your school while you can-."
"But he could be the perfect piece!" Came a joyful voice as a man practically skipped towards them. "I think he would do quite nicely! He seams like he has the brains unlike the rest of you lot!"
"Lloyd!" Scolded a woman as she ran to the hyper scientist. "I apologize for his behavior," she said as the solider nodded before walking away, needless to say he was offended by the statement, but knew not to talk back to a person with a higher rank then himself.
"So what do you say? Are you up for the job?" Asked Lloyd as he looked towards Lelouch.
"And may I ask what is the job?"
"It is for a current experiment that we are working on. So far everything is going along perfectly, but we just can't find someone to be the..." Trailed off Cécile as she tried to find the right words.
"Guinea pig?" Offered Lelouch as Lloyd smiled and nodded his head while Cécile denied the fact.
"No, no. We need someone to try out the armor. It's just that the armor will become a part of the human... It's quite hard to explain..." Informed Cécile.
"And how much are you paying if I do help you out in this experiment of yours..?" Asked Lelouch as Lloyd's face brightened.
"£1500 Per week!" Offered Lloyd as Lelouch thought abut the offer.
If he did accept it, then he would be working for Britannia, but he could also gain more power if he raised through the ranks. And then, he could investigate what happened to Gino, Suzaku, Nunnally, Kallen, Shirley, Nina, Rivilz, Milly and himself. How come the nine of them only remembered one year of their life, while the rest of their memories were lost.
"Deal." He decided as Lloyd quickly pulled his arm and dragged him into a portable science lab.
"Let's get to work!" He exclaimed excitingly as he pulled out a needle with a purplish, reddish color.
"Your highness, it's a phone call for you," said general Bartley as he held the phone out for his prince.
Letting out a frustrated yet dramatic sigh, the prince placed his arm above his forehead while closing his eyes. "Tell them to contact me later, right now I am currently busy. Very busy."
"But your highness, it's the man from the Camelot research division, they say that they wish to help." Tried the general as the prince opened his eyes as he stared at the phone questioningly.
"Give it here," he ordered as the general did as he was told and gave the prince the phone. "Hello?" He asked into the gadget.
"Clovis! I-ouch!... Alright, alright, we finally finished our little project and we would like permission to release it into the battle field to gather up data!" Said the happy scientist into the phone while exaggerating on the words 'we' and 'our'.
"And what project would that be?" Asked the dramatic prince as he could feel the excitement coming from the phone in his hand.
"I call it the Merlin project! But unlike the Lancelot project, this isn't a Knightmare frame. It's something much more effective and powerful." Replied Lloyd as a sigh was heard from Cécile.
Pondering over the options, the prince finally came to a decision. "Alright, alright, send it into the ghetto!" He said dramatically before hanging up.
As soon as the call ended, he slouched into his seat. "Your highness, are you alright?" Asked the general hastily as the prince gave out a sigh.
"Not really... Now I'm not sure if I owe him a favor or if he owe's me a favor... But that doesn't matter, either way, he will make me owe him a favor," were the words that escaped his lips as he stared at nothing. This is so not my day, he thought sadly as he crossed his arms.
"Alright Lelouch, good luck," smiled Cécile as she gave Lelouch an outfit that was similar to a Knightmare pilot's, the only difference was that his was all black with hardly visible red wires scattered about on the sleeves and a red button above his heart. "Just press it to transform and once your in the Merlin form, you'll see another button. Just press that to transform back, alright?"
"Of course," he replied with a smile as Cécile walked away to allow him to get changed.
Meanwhile, Lloyd was standing next to a white and golden Knightmare frame with a smug look on his face. His aura was radiating excitement and smugness with every tick that the clock made.
"I bet her." Was his only statement as Cécile looked at him questioningly.
"What do you mean?" She asked as he just continued to grin.
"I so bet her," he repeated the sentence, except he dragged the word 'so' for five seconds.
After a couple more attempts to get the crazed scientist to tell her who was this person that he bet, Cécile finally gave up. "I'll never truly understand you..." She muttered as the doors opened.
"So shall I just walk into the battle field or ..?" He asked as he stared at the Knightmare frame behind the scientist, already having an idea of how he may be entering the ghetto. Meanwhile, Lloyd quickly made his way over to the boy.
"Not today! Because of your luck, you shall have a shot to pilot my precious child, the Lancelot!" Exclaimed the scientist, his grin still in place. It's a wonder how he managed to stay so happy for so long, pondered Lelouch as he nodded his head.
"Here you go and once again good luck," said Cécile as she gave him the key for the Knightmare frame.
"Thanks," replied Lelouch as he got into the cockpit of Knightmare frame. "Let's see what will happen now," he muttered as everything began to light up.
"Three." Muttered Cécile as she stared at the count down.
"Two." Exclaimed Lloyd, he was practically jumping up and down.
"One." Whispered Lelouch as the Knightmare came to life and entered the battle field like a flash.
