Clone Wars: Lelouch of the Third Fraction
Betrayed by his nation, his family, the Bitannian Emperor took everything away from Lelouch Vi Britannia how ironic then that becoming the next Sith Emperor will enable him to take it all back.
Chapter 1) It Begins
Peace is a lie
2010ATB: Hundreds of Britannian VTOL Aircraft begin strafing runs across Japanattacking key targets with pin-point accuracy.
2015ATB: In a hidden location somewhere in Area 11 Lelouch clad entirely in black from head to toe, wearing velvet gloves over his hands and a cloth half mask obscuring his mouth completes the connections on the cylindrical device he is holding.
There is only Passion!
2010ATB: A lone Fighter-Bomber breaks off from the group alone on a special mission of the utmost importance.
2015ATB: Lelouch presses the switch and with the traditional hum his new lightsaber activates, powered by a crystal forged through sith alchemy its bright-red hue would be instantly recognisable to any Jedi he met. Fortunately he wasn't planning to meet any Jedi anytime soon.
Through Passion, I gain strength!
2010ATB: Ignoring any number of available targets the pilot was entirely focussed on carrying out their mission swiftly and effectively.
2015ATB: Lelouch gives his new weapon a few practice swings having trained in the art of swordmanship from an early age. Getting use to the lighter weight of the lightsaber compared to a sword would take time, he completed three near perfect form III stances, perhaps not as much as he had feared.
Through Strength, I gain Power!
2010ATB: The Fighter-Bomber reaches its destination and locks its laser designators on the target, the pilot's thumb rests over the switch that will trigger the bomb bay doors and unleash it's deadly cargo.
2015ATB: Lelouch satisfied deactivate his lightsaber clipping it to his belt he puts away the tools and spare parts left cluttered over his workspace with but a wave of his hand. A small smile forms on his features as he allows himself a brief moment of awe at his abilities before returing his features to their usual cool and impassive appearance.
Through Power, I gain Victory!
2010ATB: Two small boys no older than ten were playing in the hills around the nearby shrine when they hear a strange and foreboding whine coming from the skies.
2015ATB: Lelouch exits the room and never looks back it would be a long time before he would set foot back inside it again if he ever does. He had made his decision and would stick by it having debate long and hard and meditated just as long on the subject. 'Perhaps' he mused to himself 'it was inevitable'.
Through Victory, My Chains are Broken!
2010ATB: the smaller and frailer of the two realise what it means before his companion and breaks out into a run towards the small building atop the hill, but the distance was too great and his legs were to weak.
The Fighter-Bomber unleashes hell upon the target, a building owned and lived in by the Prime Minister of Japan. Dropping his entire payload some 28 munitions in total, some would say overkill for such a small and unarmoured position but he had his orders.
"Nunnally!" Lelouch screams his voice breaking halfway through from the strain as the heat from the explosion washes over him. He tries to stand to stagger forward despite his skin beginning to blister from the exposure, tears stream down his face before been evaporated seconds later.
The other boy Suzaku his best friend grabs him from behind and begins pulling him away despite his protests.
"Let me go, damn you Suzaku I have to rescue her, I order you to let me go!" Lelouch screams, if he knew any he'd have added a list of profanities into the mix. Alas due to his upbringing he only knew a few mild ones and they didn't have quite the same impact.
"It's too late Lelouch" Suzaku replies his voice quivering with shock and horror.
Nunnally had lost the use of her legs and couldn't join in their games as they ran and played. She also suffered from the same weak constitution as her older brother and so got tired easily especially in the summer heat. It had been her suggestion that she stay in the house out of the sun resting while Lelouch joined Suzaku on one of their 'adventures'. If only he'd offered to carry her on his back, she wouldn't be…
Something inside Lelouch broke as he accepted the truth what he had known the moment the first bomb had fell…Nunnally was gone. His fear, shame, self-loathing and doubts were washed away by the white-hot fury that boild inside him, Nunnally was gone, Nunnally was dead. Because of Britannia! Even at a distance Lelouch would recognise the markings of a Britannian Aircraft and it was unlikely any Japanese military plane would suddenly decide to bomb their leaders country estate to bits.
This wasn't mere ager, this wasn't even rage. This was pure, unadulterated, and focussed hatred.
"I swear Suzaku" Lelouch hissed his voice saw from all his earlier screaming and yet oddly fitting under the circumstances "I will Obliterate Britannia!" he declares hotly, his once violet eyes flicker with a sulphuric-yellow glow before dying down to their regular colouration.
The Force shall set me free!
2010ATB: Elsewhere a Sith Holocron activates releasing the spirit of a once legendary and powerful Dark Lord wreathed in shadows. Nearby a rust-red coloured droids optics blaze red as it emerges from standby mode.
"Exclamation: Is it time master?" The droid asks gleefully with just a hint of homicidal menace present.
"The time has come HK-47 find my heir, bring him to me and let nothing stand in your way" Darth Revan former supreme commander of the Republic and former Emperor of his own Sith Empire smiled coldly. 'Your hate is strong my very young descendant, but without control it may consume you before you can harness it, without my tutelage both are dreams may never come to pass'
five years later
Lelouch knelt before his master the spirit of Darth Revan and his distant ancestor on his mother's side of the family. Lelouch had grown up reading of the great tacticians and leaders his world had produced, reading of Alexander the Great, Napoleon Bonaparte, Sir Francis Drake, and even the Modern German General Rommel who invented the Blitzkrieg tactic that caused Britannia's conquest of Africa to stall dramatically.
But above all of those he revered the name Revan Bloodraven (Darth Revans real name) for he had lead armies against forces he could barely imagine, fleets of warships into battles upon which the fate of most of the galaxy rested upon. He had achieved the impossible and turned the tide against what had appeared to be an unbeatable, unquenchable and indefatigable foe.
"What is thy bidding my master" Lelouch whispers respectively as he dips his head in a bow deep enough to convoy his respect while shallow enough to maintain his own superiority, he was after all alive and still growing strong while his master been a mere force spirit was forever stuck at the level of power he had reached before his death.
"My apprentice you have changed much since you came to me" Revan muses nostalgically "once you were weak, really weak, no seriously a five-year old with a gammy arm could have had you".
Lelouch's left eye twitches at the insult but otherwise ignores it he had been weak, a weak petulant boy filled with anger, rage, hatred, and though it pained him to admit it fear.
"But now you have grown strong, mostly my doing of course, but you deserve some of the credit I suppose" Revan continues displaying the same arrogant jerk-like tendencies that made even his friends want to kill him. (Cough, Darth Malak, cough) heck it was only his ridicules skill in the force that had allowed him to survive as long as he did. Thankfully his descendants seemed to take more after Bastila.
"But now your training nears completion, there is nothing more I can teach you that time, experience or a very comprehensive library cannot instruct you" Revan clears his throat theatrically "To become a full fledged sith lord if that is your wish you must as I did, gain the approval of the ancient sith lords in the ancient tombs of the ancient Sith on the ancient world of Korriban".
Lelouch sweatdropped okay so the place was old he got that. "It is my wish and I will become a sith lord" He states brokering no argument from his master who nods his translucent head thoughtfully.
"I too sense your destiny is leading…beyond this world" he announces foreshadowingly. "however for your training to be complete regardless on whether you journey to Korriban or not you must yet complete one more task from me" Revan declares his voice for once becoming totally serious as he stared down at his apprentice with the eyes that had slain so many.
"I am prepared" Lelouch states firmly, rubbing the side of his lightsaber hilt comfortingly "I can complete any task you ask of me"
"Good" Revan smiled coldly "you'll need that determination, for your task is to kill me".
AN: I've wanted to write a Code Geass/ Star wars story for so long.
Dedication: thanks to Dragon145 who has graciously allowed me to use the themes and OC's from his excellent Naruto/Star wars Crossover Clone Wars Three Sides.
Note: Darth Revan's Personality is based upon another Naruto/SW story Glory of the King where an immortal nearly 4000 year old Revan who's seen and done practically everything was a jerk to pretty much everyone he met, and Naruto his apprentice picked up a few of his mannerisms. Lelouch won't become like him but I liked the byplay it caused rather than have Revan be serious all the time.
