Author's Note: Hello reader! -shakes your hand wildly- Thanks for taking a look at my fanfic! I've been having dreams of writing this, so I finally caved in and said "What the heck?". It's not like it can do any harm but let some people in on a neat story!
Please Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Code Geass or it's characters, thus why it is a fan-written-fiction.
The date was August 10, 2010 C.E on the traditional Gregorian calendar, a duo of archaeologists was sent out to explore an excavation site located in North America. It had been said great and powerful tribe leaders had been buried in the area, which apparently the leaders had a super-natural power to bend people's thoughts, wills, and cause mental harm. It was a wonder to all on how this happened. There was very little known about the people, fact being that no information was stored and that the only proof of their existence was a single piece of parchment by an Englishman who was bewitched by their enchantment. It explained how they were hidden amongst the mountains, practicing their bewitching magic in secret. Apparently the tribe leader had an evil talent of forcing you into a torturous sleep of nightmares, which he used to enslave his people and controlled people with an iron fist. With him was a witch, who seemed to be immortal and cannot die.
The archaeologists visiting the site had dubbed this power as Geis, after the Irish folklore of taboo contracts and spells. It was fascinating chasing after this rather obscure race of people, with all the mythology and the little things they had to use to distinguish fact and fiction. However exciting it may be, they wanted more physical facts versus the fantasy and all this magic nonsense. They returned to the original site where they found the parchment and very early traces of assorted clay pots, all with a similar picture of a bird-shaped symbol. It was noted that many of these historical finds were buried deep underground, suggesting possibly a landslide occurred at some point. As archaeologists returned time and time again to dig at the site in hopes to finding a better clue on the new people, they found something so outlandish that perhaps even history itself could not explain.
George Lyons was digging feverishly into the harsh rocky dirt, much more hardened than he really liked it to be. He really wanted to find something, anything to give him a clue on his research. Really, he had been at this for days with out a single find. The one thing they had dug up seemed to be a corpse of a badger, and gosh darned it was the worst feeling he had ever felt in him whole life when he carefully deposited the creature over to the sidelines out of camp. It's still around somewhere, laying there like it was taunting him. Taunt him if he dare! Lyons was positive he was going to be the one to uncover the greatest find that all of mankind would be in awe of. He just had to get used to the extensive labor on his hard back. Wiping the sweat off his brow, he finally let himself have a break. He hastily summoned his assistant in a hurry.
"Nina! Nina! Get me my water, quickly!"
Nina, Lyons's assistant, could sense his hastiness and quickly fetched his cool water container out of the ice chest. Lyons was quite demanding, stating he was dehydrated and need fluids immediately. When he got the water, he drank as much as he could until his assistant forced him to slow down.
"Dr. Lyons, you could kill yourself like that!" She sounded quite motherly as she scolded her colleague.
"Sorry, Nina, I really am. This is just so frustrating. Why can't we find anything? It is like they completely vanished off the planet."
He was only returned with silence. When it started to get awkward, Nina spoke up her opinion.
"I think we are going a bit far with this. I mean, there is no way a person can have super human powe…" She let her voice drift off when she noticed the resentment in the man's eyes.
"It's the most curious thing. I have to know just what really happened. Everyone else just scoffs at my work. But I know. I just know that digging here is right. I just know it. I can't explain why. I just know." Lyons sounded miserable.
"How about I help you? We can dig together. We will definitely find something then!" Nina smiled.
"You know I can't just let a girl go and do a man's work. You'll get dirty." Lyons laughed.
"But I want to!" Nina pouted, "I'll be extra good!"
"Alright then, since you insisted." The older man laughed as he patted the younger girl's onyx hair affectionately. (1)
The two went out back to the excavation site and returned to digging when Nina's shovel hit something. At first, it was thought to be a hard rock, but when a bit more was uncovered, it was found to be metal. Lyons quickly got excited, and quickly went to work to uncover it. Slowly, it was found to be a round metal capsule that looked rather futuristic than anything. Bother Nina and Lyons were astonished.
"What is this..? Is it something from the government…?" Nina questioned with a rather fearful tone in her voice.
"I… I don't know." The archaeologist placed his hand on the capsule before skittishly jumping back when it sprang to life.
The capsule emitted out a rather beautiful light as it opened, and the two could barely see a figure throwing back his or her head, long hair spread out in all directions. As the light seemed to dim, Nina at least managed to identify that the figure was a very pretty guy with rather long hair. Slowly his pale eyelids part to reveal rather unnatural amethyst eyes, sparkling like glitter. Lyons and Nina couldn't be any more astonished then they already were, just gawking with their jaw dropped as the new raven-haired boy stared them down, then collapsed.
"D-doctor!" Nina stuttered.
"We… we found it! Nina!" Lyons was gasping for breathes he stared fondly at the unconscious body.
"H-how do we know it has anything to do with what we are doing..!" Nina kept stuttering.
"Look, Nina dear! Look! He has that symbol, on his forehead! The ones on the ancient artifacts! This is… extraordinary! Nina, we did it!" Lyons was practically squealing.
"We… we uh, just can't assume that just yet! Let's try to haul the capsule on the truck bed and take this… guy back to your home." Nina suggested sheepishly.
"Alright then! Grab the tarp and supplies, Nina. Let's hurry!"
The older man swiftly went to the capsule with the unconscious male figure. He was pretty, the man decided. He looked a bit feminine, actually. He touched the figure slightly; wary on what he would do, but when nothing happened Lyons scooped the boy up and brought him over to the backseat of the rather large truck with ease. Next was the capsule, which was a bigger problem since the ropes were difficult to latch on. When that was done, it was no deal to get it on the truck since there happened to be a crane as an attachment to the truck. Just in case they were picking up something big, perhaps. (2)
Nina and Lyons were soon in the truck and driving off, careful of the precious cargo which was hidden with a tarp in the back. Another eye was on the one who was still sleeping in the back seat laying his rather delicate looking head on Nina Einstein's lap. She unconsciously ran her hand through his rather velvet-like raven hair. She discreetly bit her lip, uncertain about whether or not she should have actually brought this person with her and the Doctor back. He was so… strange to her. He was mysterious and in a way slightly forbidding. Her colleague however was polar opposite. He was excited about his find. Lyons wanted to shout it out to the world. However, he tried to control himself as he made through the three hour drive back to his retreat.
He was dreaming. In his dream, he was in an elegant hall, filled of pictures everywhere. Flowers, meadows, cathedrals, people. It was rather extravagant, to say at the very least. A young and pale boy looked quietly around his surroundings, observing everything keenly. He suddenly heard a voice which caught him off guard, making him jump.
"It seems that you are defensive as ever, R2."
The boy signaled out as R2 hunted down the voice until he found a rather pretty girl, dressed in black. She tucked her long green hair behind one of her ears, before giving him a small smile. Lelouch tried to mouth out the name. He quietly made the mouthed syllables of 'Ar-Too' as best as he could. The girl quietly frowned at this before she made he remark.
"I am here to help you, R2." She mentioned quietly.
"I am… R2?" He inquired, truly curious.
"Yes," she confirmed, "And I am C2. We… we are one and the same."
"One… and the same." He repeated quietly.
"You have lost your memories, R2. I cannot tell you, and you must wait for them to return on their own accord." She was a bit sterner than she needed to be.
"Who am I?" He simply asked, R2's eyes studying C2's carefully.
"You are R2. You are an immortal being who wields the power of Geass. You are an immortal that can make a contract with a mortal human in exchange of power to grant a wish."
"Geass?" R2 questioned quickly.
It took C2 a bit of a moment to answer.
"The Power of Kings."
R2 raised a brow, he was quite confused even after questioning this 'C2'. Who exactly… was he?
"Can you tell me where I am, witch?"
This comment seeming took her off guard, but soon she just chuckled before replying.
"The World of C, my little warlock. Do you still have anymore questions?"
"Yes," Replied an irritated R2, "Lots!"
C2 laughed before giving off a rather unsatisfied look on her face. Right when R2 was about to question her about that, she snapped.
"You should go, R2. Remember I have told you. But especially remember this R2: 'Only those that are prepared to fire should be fired at.'"
"Why? Ugh!"
In the midst of his questioning the world under him disappeared, and it seemed like he was sucked into an endless hole. He screamed.
Notes:
(1) I wanted to make it clear this is a father/daughter ish relationship. Don't get me wrong..
(2) Do archaeologists need big cranes? I don't know, but I couldn't think of anything else that would pick up that big thing. LOL.
So, how did you like it? R&R please! Sorry for the weird ending. So, who is R2? Is he Lelouch? Is he someone else? Who knows? C2 does, anyway. And what's with Nina? She's not normal, nor does she seem to recognize Lulu. And isn't August 10th the day Japan was conquered by the Britannians? Oh the insanity!
