21.
It has started. Onlookers stare in fear and anger. Helpless and unable to do anything as their glimmer of hope- the Black Knights are brought towards their deaths.
20.
You sit on top, with that mask on your face, one of pure evil and cruelty. But hidden under that, is your true face, one of such gentleness, one of such determination to set everything you wronged right. One of a person ready to give the world salvation no matter what the price was.
19.
Yet, must it be like this? You sit on your throne atop the inching vehicle, moving on to the next phase of the plan. The people just look at it like your next step towards absolute power. Must it be like this?
18.
The final phrase started. He stands gloriously ahead, your own alter ego.
17.
He runs forward, towards you. The finale of this grandeur play, acted out so fully.
16.
Skilfully, he evades the bullets. He meets Jeremiah, who falls, another part of the play.
15.
You pull out a gun, and it is hit away from your hand, discarded having been used as another act in the play.
14.
He points the sword at you, ready to plunge it through you. You smile, your mask removed. How beautiful that smile was, while nobody would notice it.
13.
I sit here, praying. What I'm praying for, I do not know. Perhaps, it is you.
12.
As the ornate ruby sword goes through your chest, everything freezes.
11.
He cries beneath the mask. You had to console him, even with some of your last few breaths.
10.
He pulls out the sword, stained with your blood.
9.
You fall, ever so grandly. Grandly, even as you near your end.
8.
Your sister calls out for you, grieving as she learns the truth.
7.
"Lelouch, as atonement for using your Geass on others, you…" I could not help it. My eyes which had been so dry for the past centuries was now wet, as a single bead of water breaks away from my left eye.
6.
Why did you atone? You are just ending all your sorrows, ending it all with death.
5.
Why are you so selfish? Why must you be so selfish in committing such a selfless act?
4.
Why…?
3.
"I destroy worlds… Create worlds." You utter with your last breath as you close your heavy eyes.
2.
It used to be the two of us, the two cursed in this unforgiving world.
1.
Now, I'm alone again. I'm the only one again.
0.
"Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero!"
That single lonely tear that had been sliding down my cheek crashed silently onto the marble church floor. Tell me… Why…?
