A/N: An alternate take on Euphemia's death sequence.
"...Euphie..."
Her face covered in blood and a machine gun held tightly in her grasp, Euphemia li Britannia glanced over in the direction of the voice that had called her. A tall, dark figure with a helmet disguising his face stepped out from behind the large legs of a Knightmare Frame.
"Ahh...you're Zero...I was wondering when you'd arrive..." Euphemia said in a calm voice. The man in the mask, Lelouch, felt an immense guilt swell up in his chest as he laid eyes on Euphemia's blood-stained clothes.
Slowly, he raised a pistol, and aimed it in her direction. "I'm sorry...so sorry...it's like this..."
Euphemia gasped. "Wait...are you not...going to help me kill the Japanese?"
Zero shook his head.
'Huh...but I can't die now...I have to complete my mission! At least I still have five bullets left...' Euphemia thought, recalling about that new magazine she had just inserted into her machine gun. She had originally expected it to be empty, but luckily, there were a few bullets still inside.
Turning her own weapon on Zero, Euphemia proclaimed, "I apologize deeply, Zero, but I cannot allow myself to die just yet!!"
'Wait...what?'
Momentarily caught off guard, Lelouch gasped as three bullets tore into his chest, and burst out of his back. Blood spurted out of his mouth, and covered the inside glass of his helmet, making it impossible for him to see through it. His entire body was throbbing with intense pain, but he refused to scream out.
'What...what the hell just happened...? This can't be possible...' he wondered as he staggered backwards. 'I'm...I'm going to die...'
Euphemia pulled the trigger once again, and the final two bullets ripped through Lelouch's throat, and he collapsed onto the ground, dead as a doornail.
A pregnant silence filled the air. Then, after about a minute, Euphemia shrugged her shoulders and walked off to find some more ammo...
