This story is a sequel to my first fanfiction, "Kallen After Requiem".
Chapter 1 - State Of The World
On the 23rd of October in the year 2026, Empress Nunnally and Supreme Commander Zero have arrived in Irene, the newly-built capital of Britannia. After
staying in China for three months, they returned for an emergency meeting with all the leaders of Britannia in the palace.
"Welcome home, Empress Nunnally and Lord Zero." said Schneizel as he accompanied them to the meeting hall.
The long table was filled with leaders of different parts of Britannia. Jeremiah was also present in the meeting.
"I hope we didn't end your vacation in China, your Highness." said Hughes, head of Eastern Britannia.
"Not at all, Hughes. Britannia comes before my needs." replied Nunnally.
"Well then." said Zero. "Shall we begin?"
"Yes, My Lord." said Schneizel.
The hologram opened a world map. It then marked the areas of concern. The whole area of West Britannia was marked red along with East EU.
Khris, head of West Britannia, stood up to give the report.
"In the past three years, a total of 550 people are still missing. There are also rumors that a cult has begun in Britannia. West Britannia has become a feared country to live in because of series of abductions and kidnapping. We must do something about this."
"Increase in military presence in West Britannia and given talks to the citizens on being more vigilante should be a good approach." said Schneizel.
"It isn't enough!" Khris snapped.
"We don't need presence, we need action! My name as a High Britannian is on the line. How can I preserve my honor if this keeps happening to my people?"
"Your people?" said Zero.
"Khris, remember, you are a leader to West Britannia, not a ruler. You better watch what you say." Zero's tone was becoming aggressive.
"And Empress Nunnally isn't a ruler? what a hypo-"
"You better watch your tone, Khris." Jeremiah stood up, pointing a blade to Khris.
"Jeremiah!" shouted Zero. Khris was quivering in fear knowing Jeremiah's killing intent.
"Forgive me, Zero. His mouth was too much for me to handle." said Jeremiah as he lowers his blade. But he was still giving Khris the dead look in the eye as both men sat down again.
"And another matter, my Lord..." said Schneizel. He zooms the world map and moves it to the right. He then highlights an island with seismic waves around it. Nunnally held on Zero's hand.
"That's-"
"Yes, your Highness." interrupted Jeremiah.
"Kamine Island has had five earthquakes within the span of only three months. It's sudden quakes have caused trenches near the island to open up and affect the marine life in the nearby lands." Jeremiah explained. Suddenly, Hughes stood up.
"Because of this, I have assembled an expedition team which will be led by my nephew, Gino. I have complete faith in-"
"No." interrupted Zero.
"That island holds mysteries beyond our own. I will personally deal with this situation. Disband your expedition team. I will form my own."
"But...Lord Zero, Gino is a part of your knights, is he not? Then he should join your team."
"I have faith in Gino. But this place is far too dangerous for him. Its for his own safety as well."
"Yes, My Lord." Hughes sat down again.
"All topics have been discussed. The meeting is over." said Schneizel as he turns off the world map. The members then stood up and left the meeting hall.
"Schneizel, thank you for looking after Britannia while me and Nunnally were in China and by organizing this meeting as well, great job." said Zero.
"Thank you, my Lord." Schneizel said as he heads back to his office. Zero, Nunnally, and Jeremiah were left inside the hall.
"Will I lead that expedition team, Zero?" said Jeremiah.
"No. I need you to stay here and keep an eye on Khris. He's becoming a little too active for his own good."
"Yes, My Lord." Jeremiah then takes his leave. Zero and Nunnally then proceed to their room.

"I'm worried, Suzaku." said Nunnally as they enter their room. Suzaku removes his mask.
"Me too. It's a place filled with secrets that no ordinary person should know. And a place which gives me bad memories."
"So, your sending Kallen to that expedition?"
"Yes. Her knowledge on Geass can protect the rest from it."
"Even so, why not send Jeremiah? He has a Geass-Canceller right?"
"I gave him a secret assignment. He can't leave Britannia while Kanon is still around."
"Looks like she'll have her time with Milly and the others in Japan interrupted again."
"I'll make it up to her." said Suzaku. Nunnally giggled.
"What's so funny?" Suzaku smiled back at her giggle.
"How are you going to make it up to her?"
"I'll think about it."
"I know you will." The two then shared a kiss.
"Where's my phone?" said Suzaku. "I know I left it in-"
"Mommy! Daddy!"
Hey guys! Finally finished it. The story will be action, light-romance, mystery, and, if you consider it, suspense.
I appreciate the comments coming from you, the readers. They really help me in my writing. I hope I get some more. Thanks guys!
