Authors Note:
Iv'e had alot of people say something about the bad grammer, but since i actually checked my grammer for chapter 4 and above I thought I could do it later until I realised IT WAS SO BAD. Like seariously I said Sazaku instead of Suzaku. Ugh I feel stupid. Anyway this is the fixed version of the first chapter. And besides the grammer (no one's perfect) Iv'e had excellent comments about the story.
P.S. if i spell a last name wrong im sorry, people use so many different similar names its confusing. Like Iv'e seen 5 different ways to spell Kurarugi and Kosuki that I don't even know if thats really how you spell it. So if I did screw up please tell me quickly so I can fix it. God I need to write them down correctly...
Thank you and enjoy
The Birth of a new Demon
The skies over japan were ablaze with fire in the wake of the Black Rebellion. Lelouch stood aiming his gun at Suzaku, his ex-best friend. Murder in their eyes of what they believe is right.
"Suzaku!" "Lelouch!" and the guns went off…
Thump, thump…. Thump, thump…. Thump, thump….. (Heartbeat)
(One year later)
Eyelids slowly rose, revealing deep amethysts eyes. Raven haired girl wrapped in a restraining suit suspended in a tank of liquid, Unable to move or decide her own fate. She looks around slowly and sees the two scientists walking back and forth between consoles. She tries to move around but it's impossible with her hands firmly stuck behind her back in what seems a mental patient suit. Not even the luxury of moving her legs which suffer the same fate. Suspended in a cylinder of liquid awaiting more testing and torment, an endless cycle of suffering.
"Ahh, looks like she is finally awake"
Said the scientist looking over at her. He was fat and bald with a pair of glasses and small eyes. Dark skinned, and uncaring of human life. She looked over at the other scientist, he was skinny and tall with grey hair and pale skin, but not the least bit remorseful of what they did. or were going to do to her.
She knew what was going to happen. More tests, more torment, just to see if all their time and money didn't go to waste on her. She never left this room, and barely ever left the tank, unless for a person to try and force her to use her ability, to use her geass. She doesn't even know what she can do really. Ever since the small child with long blonde hair named V.V gave her the power she has never used it out of spite and anger, not wanting them to get any useful data off of her.
She remembers all the things that they have done to her. They have beaten her to near death, often with a man whose geass was to amplify strength to extreme levels, then use a small boys geass to heal her completely so she can be beaten again, trying to cox her into using her power. She was strong willed, but she doesn't see the point besides making them angrier for defying them. She remembers when a boy controlled her body through geass. As long as she looked into his eyes she would copy his movements to a degree. He had her kill other human beings with the excuse of her needing to get used to it. She would have liked to turn the gun on him but the geass didn't let her body move beyond what his body moved. She hated this place with all her heart and all her being.
She would have liked to use geass and break free, to escape but there was a machine that they called a geass canceler near her that would negate any geass until they turn it off, which was only during tests.
"Ok time for one final test"
She quickly looked up and stared at him wondering just what he meant by 'final test'.
As she thought about it the door swished open revealing a teenage boy with light brown hair in a white shirt and pants, the regular uniform for everyone besides scientists and guards.
"So this is the experimental subject?"
"Yes, just check her memories and emotions so we can be done with her."
The girls face scalded with anger at what he meant. She was going to be disposed of. Living and dying in this horrible place. She doesn't want that to happen, if she is going to break out, now is the only time and failure is death.
The skinny scientist pressed a few buttons on a console and the geass canceller next to her hummed lowly until it stopped. She was still suspended in the liquid tube chamber with nothing but the restraining suit and the breathing mask on. She thought quickly on what she could do.
The boy walked up to her and closed his eyes. When he opened them his left eye was red with the symbol of a bird present. A clear signed activation of his geass. She simply stared into his eyes, wondering what his power was and still thinking of a way to escape.
"Don't bother thinking of ways to escape, you have been nothing but useless to us and to yourself. You don't even know what your geass is."
The boy said. Her face scowled in anger. Eyes trying to make him break.
"She doesn't know anymore then we do. It would be best if you simply tried again."
The boy said plainly with a smirk. He walked out not even bothering to look back at her while her eyes reverted back to the scientists.
"Well that's a waste" the skinny scientist said. "At least we know we can make more. Hopefully more willing subjects."
He moved his glasses closer to his face as he said that. She was going to die very soon, she thought quickly of what to do.
He began toggling switches and rested his hand on a turning dial. He slowly turned the dial and before the young girl could react electricity flowed through the tank. The girls muscles spasmed in pain, her head jerking with the growing volts going through her, black raven hair swishing through the tank.
He slowly turned the nob more and more to where she couldn't breathe and she felt like her heart would explode. She slowly opened her left eye burning read with geass. "Last chance" she thought. Her arms, head, feet, and spine jerked with the coming electricity. Body cells exploding and regenerating, tissue tearing and reconnecting. It did nothing for the enormous pain as she continued to convulse and spasm. He turned the nob all the way and the pain became unbearable. The electricity could be seen sparking and wrapping around her tight frame. She wished for death but tried her luck at living. Cells exploded in the dozens and tissue tore and bones cracked but it kept healing perfectly somehow. Her eyes slowly began to shut as the pain was too much. As she closed her eyes to let death take her machine turned off.
"Well that's that"
The skinny man nodded as the fat one simply nodded his head. She was barely conscious, barely breathing, barely alive.
"How?"
She thought but didn't strain to move. Slowly the water level lowered her until her restrained feet touched the bottom of her container. She went limp and simply laid on the floor as all the liquid drained away. Her breathing barely audible as the scientists didn't seem to notice.
As the scientists grew closer to retrieve her she opened her eyes. Her left burning with geass. The scientists jumped scared then froze, unmoving, simply staring into her eyes.
"Did it work?"
A few seconds passed and she realized it did. They stood unmoving, just staring at her. She kept staring into their eyes, afraid that if she looks away they will regain control of their bodies. She pushed her arms trying to break the buckles grip on her white restrain suit. She tried and tried and squinted her eyes in anger trying to have those buckles be controlled by her. She wished for the strength to break them. She tried one more feeble time and something happened. She heard the clanking off metal on the floor behind her. It was small, at was one of the many strap buckles holding her suit.
"I did it?"
She thought being skeptical but decided that her luck was finally coming back to her. She wiggled her hand in the soaking wet suit and soon found the hole the strap used to cover. She pushed her hand through being greeted with open air and soon started picking and untying the other straps. The two scientists still stood there looking at her. No emotion or fear or dread.
She managed finally after what seemed an eternity and her arms were free. She relished in the thought of free movement and began unstrapping her legs. They came quicker and easier than her hands. Finally she grabbed the face mask and pulled it off her. Her raven black hair wet on the sides of her face down to her neck. Two long hair strands to the side of each eye. And her deep amethyst eye along with her left burning with geass.
She slowly rose, eyes kept on them to stay stunned. As she rose their heads and eyes followed never wavering from her like lifeless zombies. As she stood and stretched she thought about the situation.
"what now?"
She needed a plan to escape, she never thought she'd even get this far. She wondered if she could have them tell her details of the facility.
As that thought emerged her mind began flooded with images and corridors and people in white clothes, going endlessly down corridors. Until it reached a dark hanger, in the center was a large machine. A knightmare, she recalled, they had implanted instructions in her head of how to use one. She was after all created to kill, to be the ultimate weapon.
Suddenly an idea formed in her head, to steal the knightmare and escape. Not only would she easily escape with it but could destroy some of the facility as well. She remembered the path given to her and thought of how wonderful geass can be when you aren't on the receiving end of it.
She decided to search his memories even more and the next piece of information surprised her.
"Family? But how?"
It was confusing to her since she was never conceived but biologically made. She looked and found only two names. It wasn't much but she could make due. She looked for location and soon found one as well.
"Japan?"
She searched through his mind and found all she needed. Even better was her parents were enemies of these scientists, enemies of Britannia. She got location, time, everything. All she needed to do now was escape.
"But first…"
She slowly walked up to the fat scientist and while keeping eye contact found his gun in his white jacket. She grinned a little evil grin and thought about all he had put her through, just to screw up and her kill him. She pulled the trigger and shot his heart and quickly dispatched the other man as well.
"Killing isn't as hard as I thought? Surprisingly easy."
She thought not feeling any remorse in the slightest since they actually deserved it rather than the prisoners they forced her to kill. She heard footsteps behind her and sure enough the door swung open, revealing a guard in a black and gray uniform with a cap on. As soon as he entered the room and started withdrawing his gun he was frozen in her eyesight. The door closed behind him as he raven haired girl smirked. She brought up her gun on him and noticed how heavy and wet her clothes were.
"This suits soaking wet, and they'll spot me instantly."
She then looked at the guard he was somewhat short just a few inches taller than her.
"It'll have to do"
Minutes later she exited into the hallway and brought the cap down so no one would see her eyes and hopefully not recognize her. Having dispatched and traded clothes with the guard that was now dead was somewhat awkward. She didn't go as far as to take his undershirt of boxers, just the shirt, pants, cap, and weapons.
She made her way down the corridors while keeping her head low. Her wet raven black hair pushed down. A knife on the left side of her belt and a pistol at her right side. She passed several scientists and kids, no one giving her a second glance. She quick stepped her way to the hanger described in the vision. And sure enough, detail for detail she found it. Its black shine shown by a single light on it, an engineer messing with tools on a table a few feet away. She was amazed as she looked the machine over.
It was jet black with gray lining with a silver claw like right arm. It had two swords holstered on its thighs. With rectangular pieces coming from its back aimed downward almost to its thigh barely above the ground and a second set in a similar fashion but at a higher angle but still not quite above 90 degrees. Its left arm was normal and humanlike. Its head was like a large helmet of a medieval knight with gray under the red eyes where it would show skin if it was human. The machine was large and looked powerful.
"A new model?"
She slowly walked towards the engineer and looked at the contents of the table. From what she could remember about these things it needed a key and there it was. Sitting on the edge of the table was what looked like a small black feather. Unconsciously she picked it up and stared at it.
"Hey put that back, it's not a toy!"
The engineer said finally noticing her. She tilted her head upwards and caught him in her sight. Frozen and at her mercy.
"perfect"
She looked into his mind about details to the machine. Access code, IFF number, how to disable tracking, weapons, float system, slash harkens. Her mind began being flooded with data of the machine inside and out. With knowledge of the machine and the knowledge to use it escape would be simple.
"The Dark Guardian? Odd, what would it be a guardian of?"
She returned to her normal mind watching the engineer watch her.
"Can't leave him"
She walked over to him slowly and withdrew her knife slowly, hoping no one to notice.
"No hard feelings"
She said in a soft mellow voice, and a second later pierced his heart without a sound or a scream. She withdrew the blade and watched him fall to her feet. Without thinking twice she headed towards the machine while placing the knife back in her belt not bothering to clean it.
She put her foot in the triangular step and the cable retracted sending her up the side. As she reached the top she peered inside and saw the cockpit had a motorcycle seat.
"Huh? I thought they used chairs?"
Suddenly a bullet flew passed her when she realized she said it out loud for the guards to hear as someone screamed. "Stop him!"
"I'm a girl!"
She screamed in her head. She quickly dashed inside and sealed herself in. Inputting the key and code as the machine sprung to life.
Several soldiers came shooting machine guns at her, the bullets effortlessly bouncing of the metal body of the knightmare.
"Ok… let's see what this thing can do" "Please don't blow up"
The machines eyes glowed bright crimson as the machine started to move. Her handed darted for the controls and effortlessly moved the metal beast. She faced towards the squad of soldiers peppering her with tinny bullets that didn't do anything. She smirked and fired her slash harkens into the groups ripping many apart in a gory mess. She retracted and soon found new controls.
The edges of her four rectangular wings glowed neon green and the machine lifted effortlessly into the air.
"Flying huh?"
She said to herself thinking of all the damage a flying experimental knightmare could do. She withdrew her sword for her left hand and watched the sleek black blade shine. Quickly she slammed it into the sealing above her. Revealing more hangers and rooms that she would need to smash through. She darted through the hole and used her sword and slash harkens to smash and smash the floors and kept flying towards to top. Alarms blared as people ran and screamed as the massive beast drilled through the complex. Floor after floor until finally she hit daylight.
Not wasting a moment she darted through into the open sky. She looked around and saw that the entire complex she was in was underground in a grassland. Not a town or city or enemy knightmare in sight.
"Freedom?"
She looked at her coordinates and saw she was somewhere on the coast of area 8 (Russia). She input coordinates and turned off tracking and IFF and flew towards Japan keeping to the coast of china so as to not get lost. She wouldn't have enough energy to make it to japan but she figured raiding some military bases along the way couldn't be that hard.
"I don't know what to do now. But he will know"
Her first smile graced her lips as she thought of all she had, can, and will accomplish. The blood taken to make her, the blood of two of the greatest enemies of Britannia, the people she was supposed to be brainwashed into killing.
"Lelouch Vi Britannia and Kallen Kosuki. I wonder what they'll think of me?"
(Unknown place, 3 hours later)
"She's escaped"
V.V said plainly looking up at the swirling mass of the collective unconscious.
"I know."
Charles also began to look up at the massive sphere above the two.
"We need to get C.C before she gets to him or he'll be too powerful to stop like last time. Isn't it a bit risky letting him exit the settlement? If C.C gets him and then she finds him, he may just have a chance to stop all this."
"Do not fret brother, it is but one more piece in this game. Let him have it. It will do him little good."
"You really are still a child. I'm going to have to move the geass directorate, if she comes back to destroy it, all the data will be lost."
Charles doesn't reply, simply content with staring up at the heaping mass above him. They stay in silence for a few more moments.
"Do not make more of her kind. She has made a point of strong cannot control the stronger. You were foolish to create her to begin with."
"Very well Charles. But I'll make a point to monitor her though"
"Is she worthy to be a queen?"
Charles says quietly to himself as he loses himself in thought.
