Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to Code Geass and this is merely for the enjoyment of readers.

Author's Note: This is what I thought would be a good season three of Code Geass, though I know that there are many people out there who have already tried this with varied results. To the people who choose to read this, I have decided to put it in somewhat of an episode format, trying to fill a 25 minute requirement in my head if it was on my television. I hope you enjoy this, but I understand if you don't with so many Season Threes around.

One year has passed since Suzaku Kururugi, playing the role of Zero, killed the 99th emperor of Britannia, Lelouch, fulfilling the Zero Requiem. During the time, the world has regained peace rebuilding the destruction that Lelouch and Prince Schneizel el Britannia caused using the powerful and deadly Fleija bomb, and the fighting between the rebel resistance groups, notably the Black Knights, and the Holy Britannia Empire. Even though there was a severe shift in power in the world, a few remain who wish to revive the power once possessed by Britannia.

Turn 1: The Death of Zero

Clay satquietly in the small café, which rested on the outskirts of Tokyo, Japan. Only about three other people were in the café, each of them talking about random nonsense of idly things with little significance to the world. Clay reached into his pocket, and pulled out a crushed ball of paper, and steadily and carefully unfolded it, revealing now a crushed envelope. He carefully took the knife the waitress had carelessly placed on the table, taking a quick note that it was still covered in the remains of what had once been bread, gotten from the table to the right of him where only moments before a couple had left after finishing their meal. He gently inserted the knife into the envelope, and slid it along the top, taking care not to damage the inside contents. Suddenly, the waitress came up to him, saying, "Here's your coffee, sir." She set in on the table and walked away, still failing to take note of the knife she had carelessly place on his table, the knife now in his hands. He set the envelope down, and picked up his coffee. He looked at the reflection that emanated in the brown substance. What he saw was the same face he had seen for the past year, his sun glasses covering both his eyes, his long black hair neatly tied into a pony tail at the end, and the top portion of his black and white tuxedo, with his black tie. He reminded himself of a secret agent one would see in old films. He took a sip, unconsciously grabbed the letter as he drank, and set down the cup. He reached his hands into the envelope, and pulled out a letter with a picture attached to it. The picture was of Zero. The letter told three things, time, place, and method. He noted that there was an unlit candle on his table. He took out a lighter from his pocket and lit it, and then put the letter and picture in it, causing them to burn. The waitress talking to the cashier at the counter, looked over, and gasped. She quickly ran over and started yelling, "What the hell do you think you're doing, you bastard? You can't burn things, you could start a fire." Clay looked up at her, the reflection of her yelling in his sunglasses, and stood up and turned around. "Hey, I'm talking to you," she called. He reached into his pocket and threw two hundred dollar bills on the floor. At this, she stopped, and scrambled to pick up the money. When she looked up, Clay had already left the building.

Meanwhile, a train pulled into the station, the sound of it stopping barely affecting the people in the area, through the birds flew up in fright as they always did when a train stops. They had never gotten use to it. Lelouch stepped out of the train, followed by C.C. "You have now arrived in Tokyo Station," the intercom said. "Enjoy your stay," the female intercom voice added. He walked cautiously over, his eyes a bit jolty, for he hadn't been in Japan since his death. He sadly had through he was going to die at that moment. C.C. had mentioned later through that he had lived possibly because of the rare incident of his father's death and some logic about temporary immortality. He walked over to the nearby exit, and looked at the reflection of himself in the window. What he saw somewhat shocked him, but it wasn't the greatest shock in his life, more of a shock of find 10 dollar on the ground, only to realize it was from your own wallet. He looked practically the same as before, his clothing was that of a white business suit with a black tie, except he had dyed his hair blond, and had put on a cheap joke shop goatee. C.C. walked over behind him, and looked at his reflection a bit. She had taken the look when she was suppose to be an ambassador for Zero to the Chinese Federation, through it was cancelled for the fact of Mao's intervention. Her hair was still green, but covered with a black wig, and she wore glasses, to offset anyone recognizing her as, "Zero's Mistress," as a few of the Black Knights had called her. "I can understand the blond hair, but isn't the goatee a bit much," she said sarcastically. Lelouch turned around to her, and said, "We don't have really the time to take risks. If people were to find out I was still alive, the world would lose everything I worked for." "Still, you could have at least gone with a different hair cut," she said. "So, should we get something to eat, we haven't had anything from a big city for awhile," Lelouch said. C.C., as he said this, had already pointed through the window, a crossed the street to a bar, with a flashing neon side that said, Pizza. "Whatever you want," Lelouch sighed shrugging, walking through the exit way of the train station.

Suzaku Kururugi sat on the arm chair in his hotel room. He was still wearing the Zero costume, he rarely every took it off anymore, since an occasional reporter would try and barge in to get a photo of "Zero: Behind the Mask," as they called it. He was constantly cautious of this, for even now, in the lobby a few reporters sat drinking beer or other alcoholic beverages in the hotel bar. Lelouch had been right, the mask of Zero was a curse, but even still, he felt he was actually good for the world. If it had been for Zero's Requiem, the world could have possibly been under Prince Schneizel's control, ruled by fear of Fleija. Even so, the world was still ruled by fear in a way, for Lelouch's and his brother, and all the other who had been in the war campaign had created such a hatred for a single individual to control so much power that Britannia's power had been severely reduced by the United Nations. Even so, the world did not resent other members of the royal family, for example Princess Cornelia or Nunnally, for even now they were making great political strides to ensure peace. Through Princess Cornelia was somewhere in the Euro Nations, Nunnally was only a few rooms down the hall, both of them currently attending a peace negotiation with the Chinese Federation.

Suddenly, a knocking on the door sounded a few times, and Suzaku got up, and said, "Come in." Some may have been able to recognize his voice if it wasn't for the voice changer Lelouch had installed in the mask, to insure his suppose death would remain a secret. The door then, slammed opened, it's wooden body inserting itself into the wall, causing the edge of the door and a bit of the wall to shatter. A boy of 15 years of age stood in doorway. He was wearing a black tuxedo, and wearing sunglasses. He had his long black hair tied into a ponytail. He reached his hand out of his pocket, pulling out a gun, and yelled, "Die, Zero." The gun fired, through the bullet was fired at an angle that Suzaku could easily dodge it. He ran at an incredibly fast speed, the bullet passing by Zero's helmet, and he was almost instantly in front of the boys face, the gun was shaking in the boy's hand. Suzaku grabbed the boys extended arm, twisted it back behind his body, the boy now was facing the hallway, and threw him against the hallway wall. The boy shuffled up and started running down the passageway. Suzaku sprinted out the door following him. "Come back here," he yelled. The boy, still clasping his gun, turned back, and fired, hitting a vase that was set with fresh flowers. It exploded, causing pottery fragments and water everywhere. This must be a lowly assassin picked off the streets. He possibly has no proper training, Suzaku thought. The boy looking now frightened, started grabbing anything that was in his path, and throwing it in the way. Suzaku easily jumped up onto the wall, dodging the slightest distraction. The maid came out of the room, and saw what was going on. She screamed and ran the opposite direction. The news will probably be up in a few minutes, Suzaku thought. This fact was all the more reason to end this chase. The boy went through a doorway at the end of the hallway, clearly marked stairs, where Suzaku followed. In entering, he quickly looked around for the boy, who he couldn't find, deciding to head down the stairs. Suddenly, a gunshot was fired, and a bullet hit the wall opposite Suzaku. He quickly looked up, saying, "Fool." The boy had revealed his location, and he was heading up the stairs, not to the ground where he had a change to escape. They continued running for a bit, before the boy headed out a final door, ending up on the room. Suzaku followed. "You're trapped, kid," Suzaku said, coming out of the door. The boy was looking down at the ground, his gun held droopingly at his side. Suddenly, the kid started laughing, and then raised his head. "That's hilarious, Zero, or should I say, Suzaku Kururugi." Suzaku, underneath the mask of Zero, body shook at what the boy had just said. How did he know it was me, Suzaku thought. "You thought I was some amateur assassin didn't you, but I wanted the whole world to see your death," the boy said, laughing softly in between words. "What do you---." Suzaku's sentence was cut off, for a roaring sound of a helicopter flew upward in the sky. It had Channel Five News on the side.

C.C. sat at the table, eating the 4th piece of pizza on her place. Lelouch had only had two; he seemed more focused on the TV. Obvious, she thought. What better way to know how much you've changed the world than by the local news. Milly Ashford was on, though, so he may have been reliving his thoughts of their school days together. Suddenly, the screen changed and the words, Special Announcement ran a crossed the screen. Lelouch seemed to perch up a bit, for this was real news, not charity or good citizen award news that had been showing for the past half hour. "This just in," the news announcer said, the screen showed a rooftop with a kid of 15 years of age and Zero. "We have recently heard that Zero, Leader of the Black Knights, is currently fighting an assassin. Through we have been unable to get close enough for audio. We will show you the file footage of what is going on now." The screen started moving, and Zero and the boy started fighting. The boy grabbed Zero arm, and tossed him over on the ground. Zero then got up and kicked his legs, causing the kid to trip. Zero then ran up and punched him in the face. The fight continued this way, where both sides having equal blows to each other. "Woah, that kid is pretty good," a lady sitting at the bar said. "Nah, Zero's going to win, the kid's just lucky," another man said. "So how does this affect you, Lelouch," C.C. said. "It doesn't at the moment. It is still a coin flip," he said, picking up his pizza and taking a bite of it.

On the rooftop, the fighting had been going on for several minutes. This kid was faking this entire time. He as good as a trained soldier, Suzaku thought, instinctively grabbing the kid's fist as he tried to punch. "So who sent you," Suzaku said. The kid broke away from Suzaku's grip, and said, "People who wish to restore Britannia to its former glory," the kid said. The kid in the fighting had dropped his gun on the ground. He took a few steps back and picked it up. "I hope we'll meet again in the future, Suzaku, but Zero biography has reached its last page," the kid said. "What do you mean," Suzaku said. The kid reached up with his free hand, revealing his eyes. The kid's right eye was red, with the symbol of Geass resonating in it. "I think that Zero's death should have a bit of rain and fog, don't you think, Suzaku," the kid said. Suddenly, the sky became cloudy, and the wind picked up. Fog surrounded the lower layers of the building, and rain started falling as if it were a heavy storm. "Goodbye Zero, tell Suzaku that Bismarck is sparing his life," said the kid. The kid fired the gun, this time it was harder to dodge, but Suzaku knew he could do it. He dodged it within inches, but something wasn't right. He was now at the edge of the rooftop, and he had taken a careless misstep. Suzaku started falling, due to he had walked unknowing off the end of the building.

In the bar, a bunch of people gasped at what had just happened. C.C. watched as everything was becoming chaotic. The TV screen got closer to the boy, Lelouch looking shocked, his hands shaking as they gripped the table. As they got closer, the boy put back on his sunglasses, Lelouch noticed the red glint in his right eye, though it was hard to make out because of the rain. "Zero is dead," the kid yelled through the wind on the TV screen. He then back away to the edge of the room, and leaned back, falling into the mist.

Author's Note: If you're wondering what Clay's Geass is, it's in his name. It isn't real name, that's all I'll give, but it's his nickname.
