Euphy the Revolution
Princess Euphemia le Britannia the daughter of Charles vi Britannia the emperor to the Holy Empire of Britannia. Being part of great royalty is a high light of any little girl dream only to be shatter and broken. Her tale was one of tragic and despair all she wants is to be like before their happy and innocent moment that is why she created special administrative zone or SAZ for short. Her entire life turn upside down when her special administrative zone was ruin by her own people as they discarded everything that she did to accomplish peace.
She will never forget how her country betrays her.
She will never forget the tortured she endured.
She will never forget the day she knew the cruelty of the world.
She will never forget the feeling of abandon and loneliest.
She will never forget her savior.
Before Princess Euphemia was ready to announce the opening of SAZ she was kidnap by the purebloods organization that collaborated with others who didn't like what she was doing creating that zone. Someone posed as her and caused a massacre killing everyone in the SAZ without remorse tarnish her name the Massacre Princess then the entire world thought she was dead after Zero killed the imposter.
While she was imprisoned the pureblood had taunted and tortures slowly breaking her will but there a person had help her keep her sanity and strength to endure. Because near to her cell was Kamina the leader of the resistance group Gurren Brigade who was also incarcerate but unlike her he has bruise and swollen from the beatings. Despite this he never gave up and still has that cocky smile on his face.
He was the only hope for Euphy to cling on. Kamina had encouraged her that she would be safe and they swap stories from time to time. A year has passed Euphemia once beautiful flawless skin was scarred on her back, a sign of being whipped. But Kamina even said that a scar should not be ashamed of. Its proof that you endure just like a true man or true women, he even said that Euphy has the potential dig to the heavens.
Then one day they were saved by the Gurren Brigade lead by Kaminas little brother Simon later Euphemia found out Lelouch also had a hand in helping. They busted Kamina out first then Kamina returned to save Euphemia. Even so she's was scare emotional afraid of the outside world thus she always following Kamina like a lost puppy.
Kamina knew that it would be hard for Euphy to face the world again as such he decided introduce Euphy to Gurren Brigade let them become friend and hang around. Sometime around Euphemia learn their hobbies and take part of their activity like Maken with his swordsmanship, Nia piloting, Yoko sniping. No one realize how capable she will be once she uses it in battle not even herself except Kamina.
At last she was able to meet her half-brother Lelouch, who is Zero the revolutionist. She felt relief meeting her brother as she spoke the horror inflicted on her and know how Suzaku captured her brother to present the emperor as mean to obtained knighthood.
Lelouch foresight to see Euphemia situation won't be well receive from the Japanese because the imposter tarnish her name as Massacre Princess. In order to ease the situation Lelouch using his role as Zero helped by revealing the true culprit of the SAZ massacre so there won't be a murderer riot on Euphemia by the Japanese. As such all their anger was focus on the injustice on Britannia.
After that the Gurren Brigade and the Black Knight begin many battles in Japan and beyond. During Nunnally's transfer as the new viceroy of area 11, on Chinese Federation wedding, and finally on the E.U. soil.
Then one day Kamina bite off more than he can chew as another tragedy happen, her savior was defeated in combat on E.U soil as he was faced another pureblood by the name Cytomander. He was good but Kamina was better until he was ambushed and stabs from behind. As Gurren Lagan 2 was out of commission but even so Kamina manage to use his GIGA DRILL BREAKER to finish him off but at the cost of his own life.
With Kamina gone the one taking command is Kittan since Simon was still too young, Simon was able to stay strong but Euphy had locked herself inside the cockpit of Gurren Lagan 2 along with Kamina's cape on her back, his sunglasses, and sword in her arms. She fell into a state of heavy depression because for her Kamina was her hope and with him gone she was lost. Many have tried to get her out from her depression but none could succeed even Lelouch had fail. Yoko had urge other to let her be, she realize nobody could help Euphy overcome Kamina's death but herself.
It was then that Rossiu told the Gurren Brigade about Lelouch's plan to massacre the Geass Order after what happen to Shirley. Gurren Brigade realize after what happen to Nunnally, Euphemia, and now Shirley he finally has enough and decide to seek vengeance instead of justice. As such they rushed towards Lelouch to stop the lunatic plan from killing everyone in the Geass Order. Both Gurren Brigade and the Black Knights clashed yet they tried to avoid from killing each other.
Simon confront Lelouch as he heard about what happen to Shirley from Rossiu and how Simon preach Lelouch that what he is doing is nothing more than filling that lost with hate rather than staying strong. He knew the feeling of lost but it didn't consume him with hate as both of them battle when a knight Giga fortress piloted by V.V. appear suddenly.
The V.V.'s knightmare was powerful as it decimated both the Gurren Brigade and the Black Knights but with Zero and Simons working together they finally were able to destroy the knightmare with Cornelia's help during the battle.
Cornelia was confronted by both parties but the Gurren Brigade insists that she came along with them since they have her sister. Zero yields their reason but also come alone. Broken after hearing her sister is alive she went straight towards the Gurren Brigade.
"Where is she, is she alright!"
"She's fine but..."
"If you're lying I will-"
"Just followed us we're men of our words."
Gurren Brigade brought Cornelia to Gurren Lagann 2 where Euphemia had locked herself up since Kamina demise.
"Euphy are you there please answer me. It's your Sister Cornelia." How Cornelia shout with joy finding that her sister is alive.
"Sister is that you?" a weak voice can be heard from inside the cockpit.
"Yes, it's me are you alright Euphy your sister is here I can keep you safe."
"Safe! Where were you when I needed you the most?" Euphemia shouted, all the anger that she bottled up inside finally spilled out.
Cornelia become shock hearing her sister screams it was the first time her sister ever raise her voice like that.
"Where were you when I needed you the most, did you search for me? Maybe you did but decided to abandon me because I was weak is that it? Since I'm no longer a princess I'm a useless tool to use or is it because of my idea of making SAZ you distaste decide to hate me."
Cornelia was horrify to hear what her beloved sister said, she heard rumor that she alive didn't believe it. She was too focusing to find evidence about geass existence and clear Euphemia name. "Please Euphy if I know you were alive I would-"
"You will do what? Take me back to Britannia and put me in a doll house again then being play by those aristocrats. Use me up until they get tire and throw me away like trash while you kill people like me who're beneath your notice."
"You are no better than they are! I don't want to deal with you or anyone related to Britannia. Just please leave me alone it is more painful just to hear your voice."
Cornelia just silently listen to Euphemia's suffering as Cornelia lean on Gurren Lagann and quietly sob.
Later Cornelia was in the cafeteria drinking alcohol with a heavy heart. She never was a heavy drinker since as a military leader she needed to focus.
"I failed her, didn't I?"
The one in the cafeteria was Lelouch who decided to tag along since he would understand her feeling better than anyone being the brother of Nunnally and being the victim of Britannia cruelty. "Want me to lie to make you feel better."
"It's would be much better if you don't."
"You failed her Cornelia, those scare on her back will be a remainder of your failure while Euphy will remember the pain she endure if it wasn't Kamina's idiocy she would had being broken a long time ago. Your mistake was trusted the wrong type of people if you believe Kamina's word you might have been able to save her."
Cornelia didn't say anything what Lelouch said was true. She had already looked at the scars inflicted on Euphy through her medical check from Leeron. "I should have believed Kamina but my pride and hate got the better of me and I failed her I don't know if she wanted to see me?"
"..."
"I don't know who to trust anymore, my own country took my beloved sister while tarnish her name and then tortured her. Like a fool I believe that perpetrators playing me in circle while failing to save my sister by their clutches."
"So what are you going to do?" it was a rhetorical question.
"I don't know my purpose was to clear Euphy name and find out about geass but instant I found my sister alive but scars for life. Worse she doesn't want to see me."
"We can drop you off somewhere but Euphy will not follow you even if you tear that Knightmare apart to pull her out."
"Then I will stay and fight to protect my sister and avenge her."
"It's your choice but I can assure you that is better to leave her alone."
"I know I won't ask her for forgiveness but alas I could ease her pain a bit just being near her."
Lelouch seeing the conversation had ended he put his mask and leave but not before Cornelia hold him for a moment.
"I'm sorry of accusing you for hurting her and also failing to save you as well." Lelouch seeing her sincerity is genuine had nod accepting her word.
Happily Ever After by Shouko Nakagawa
It was during the battle of Japan as the forces of the Gurren Brigade and the Black Knights were fighting against Britannia and the Pure Bloods. It was then Euphy finally makes her appearance as she rise up from Gurren Lagan 2 cockpit after having flown through Dai-Gurren ship. As all lights were focuses on her.
"Kamina is dead. He's gone I know that. BUT HE'S ON MY BACK! IN MY HEART! HE LIVES ON AS A PART OF ME!"
Euphy slam her chest where her heart is and then pointing to the heavens with her finger, with determination on her face.
"IF YOU'RE GONNA DIG, DIG TO BREACH THE HEAVENS. EVEN IF IT'S MY OWN GRAVE I'M DIGGING, I'LL KEEP GOING!"
The spectators couldn't take their eyes from the former princess as her presence was filled with confidence, charisma, and determination she was dazzling.
ONCE I'VE DUG MY WAY THROUGH, THAT MEANS I'VE WON! WHO DO HELL YOU THINK I AM? I'M EUPHY! I'M NOT KAMINA JUST EUPHY!
As Euphy pull the swords and attached together to form a staff then pulled the sunglasses from the chest "GURREN DOUBLE BOMERANG!" She throws them then they split apart into five when in mid-air as it continued to spin slicing Britannia knightmare with ease then it sliced the cable that held Zero's Shinkirou.
The knight of ten Luciano dash towards Gurren Lagan 2, finding out that the princess that he hated the most was in battle thinking that a naive girl like her was easy picking but Euphy was quicker as she produced a drill and counter Percival's drill as both drill clash.
"So, the former Princess is alive I will enjoy draining your life out and watch your face turn into despair."
"You can try." Gurren Lagan's drill prove to be superior as it destroyed Percival right arm then when Euphy tried to get near Luciano he fired his hidden slash harken thinking he got her but Gurren Lagan 2 dodge it and grab the Percival head crushing it with ease.
"Impossible a mere shelter princess like you can be this strong!" if that wasn't enough Gurren Lagan 2 tear the other arm of the mech making the Percival completely arm less.
"Valkyrie squadron back me up now!" as the Vincent knightmare's surround the Gurren Lagan firing its weapon. Euphy was on the defensive as memories both good and bad flowing through her mind as the memory of a person who saves her as tears flowing through her eyes from Kamina's glasses.
"HISSATSU!" the mech then produce drill around its body and fired them like missile straight towards the Valkyrie squadron as they were engulfed in explosions. Then the Glasses detached itself from Gurren Lagan 2's chest it grabbed the glasses and throw it towards Luciano cuffing his legs and back preventing from flying to safety and eject.
"GIGA DRILL BREAKEEEEEERRRRRR!" The Gurren produce a massive drill then launched itself towards the Percival perching through it and exploded leaving the voice of the screaming knight of ten.
The Gurren Brigade was also in high spirit seeing what Euphy did.
"King Kittan Deluxe!" A combination with the black siblings as they aimed their weapons point blank at the Mordred when it got distracted "Euphy is busting out buts out here! We can't sit around on our asses doing nothing!" The sibling shouted in unison they fired point blank enough to damage the Mordred shields and canon.
"Damn straight!" Cornelia, Kid, Irakk, Maken, Jorgun, and Balinbow with their knightmares punch through and send Britannian knightmares flying.
"Damn straight!" Simon, Nia, Gimmy, Darry and Yoko were also the same.
"Damn straight!" as the ship Dai-Gurren and the crew flew straight towards Cytomander's flagship. They crashed into it but the shields held up they fired their cannons at point blank destroying the pureblood ship.
The battle turn in Gurren Brigade favour as they were tearing the Britannian armies with ease. There were many spectators view of the impossible as the timid, naïve, and shy princess defeated the knight of round and rallying the Gurren Brigade.
Lelouch piloting the Shinkirou couldn't but laugh seeing his half-sister Euphemia manage to defeat a knight of round and rallying the Gurren Brigade it was a sign of change.
Suzaku was in a disbelief finding out that the person that he loves took down a knight of round and was leading the terrorist group. He wanted to talk to her making her stop the nonsense of terrorist activity, believing she still under Lelouch's geass. But the more time pass the more doubt in his heart is telling him but refuse to knowledge the truth.
Cornelia piloting the Vercingetorix was amaze at what her sister did it was a sign that she's changing. The horrors that were inflicted upon her cannot be erased but she managed to move forward, as such if her sister can change then why not herself. "You're grown strong Euphy."
Bismarck was impress that the naïve princess with little combat experience manages to take down Luciano the knight of ten not only that she even rallied Dai-Gurren changing the tied in their favor. It was something unbelievable but then again that person Kamina has that kind of charisma that attract others unlike Zero who rallies with logic Kamina rallies with sheer will power and together they produces the impossible.
At the same time the Gurren escaped from the viceroy building Kallen seeing the Gurren Brigade and the Black Knight kicking Britannia asses flew to them.
"What did I miss?"
This part is based on what would happen meet two of the most pathetic person she ever meet in her life, Aftermath.
Suzaku was waiting outside where Euphy set the appointment even though he wants to talk face to face he unsure how to precede this.
"Suzaku what do you want?"
"Euphy you need to come with me you just being use by Zero's geass."
"Just stop it Suzaku. Are you still going to excuse me of being under geass again? That has always been your excuse since we meet again. Haven't you learned after what that imposter did to me?"
"Euphy I'm sorry if I knew that-"
"Enough! I hate you giving me the same excuses always apologize as if you couldn't distinguish between an imposter and truth."
Then Euphy showed her scars to Suzaku "Look at it this. This is what happens to me while you becoming a knight of round but instead changing Britannia within you become part of it helping conquering and ruin people life while I was tortured for a year."
Seeing those scars inflicted on the former princess brought shock and horror through Suzaku face.
"Tell me, is this the justice that I deserve from Britannia the so-called country that you served obediently."
Suzaku couldn't answer for right in front of him those scars are proof how corrupted Britannia is. While his mind tries to make an excuse deny the scars existence but deep down he knows. But he won't say it because if he admit it then Zero...he Suzaku is wrong.
"Did you enjoy being a knight of round, trample the people and humiliate my brother as you live your life while forgotten about me."
"No I didn't, please Euphy please understand I was angry I needed to do this since..." Suzaku clenched his fist hard.
"Betray them, kill them, and ruin their life for my sake but after knowing the truth why do you still continue? After knowing what they did to me why are you still obedience to them why are you still defending them while criticize other who resistance."
"..."
"You took my brother and present him to the people that did this to me. You said that Zero and Kamina method was wrong but what about me? You claim that Zero and Kamina only think the world revolves around them but not once they being sway by their belief, you in other hand become a corrupted Britannia soldier don't deny it."
"Euphy I'm sorry If I've" as Suzaku doing the Dogeza in front of the princess.
"Stop it, please just stop. I don't want to hear any more from you. I can't forgive you for the fact that you have no intention to change your ways being a loyal dog for Britannia. From now on you Kururugi Suzaku and I are stranger I don't want to see you ever again."
As Suzaku was kick out of Euphemia sight when he got out he was confronted by both Cornelia and Kittan.
"Suzaku I thank you for being her knight but you cannot knowledge Euphemia tragic experience was done by Britannia not Zero and still willing to work for them then don't ever consider yourself her knight." Cornelia give her stern talk and walk pass Suzaku.
Then it was Kittan turn who gives a hard glare. "You make me sick you know that. All the pout about righteousness but all I see is man use contemptible means in his hand." Kittan turn his sight just looking at Suzaku give him distaste feel as he pass him.
Suzaku couldn't take it. So much wrongness he did for the sake of changing within. He once said to Zero that any ends gained through contemptible means aren't worth and now he receiving end. So he can only did one thing he ran as fast as he can towards the unknown.
Nina was meeting her goddess thinking it will be a happy reunion but reality can be cruel.
"I never asked you to avenge me Nina what you did is so irresponsible and stupid."
"But princess Euphemia I did it for your sake."
"You didn't do for my sake you did for yourself. Tell me Nina you said that I saved you, right?"
"Yes, you save from the hotel jacking."
"Then why didn't you save me."
"Pardon?"
"I was kidnapped and tortured Nina you said that I save you but you didn't even come to save me."
"Because I thought-"
"You thought nothing you say you knew me then. So how could you not tell the difference between the imposter that pretends to be me?"
"Because I-"
"You worship me because I saved you that it's all. It was nothing more than idol worship. If you knew me then you will know I will never accept FLEIJA to come into existence."
"Princess"
"I'm NO LONGER A PRINCESS!" Euphemia shout then she showed Nina the scars. "These scars are the proof of what Britannia did to me so tell me, are you going to build a weapon to avenge me?"
"Euphemia I don't know."
"I know what happen to you in the past that you were assaulted by a Japanese person. As such you developed a phobia but you didn't understand why they did. It's obvious that Britannia took away their home, their freedom, and name. We are the biggest savage around not them but we pretend not to see it. You went along like anybody else."
"..."
"Just like everybody else you believe I was dead, my sister thought I was dead, my other siblings thought I was dead. I was abandoned and betrayed by my country and I had no one to rally on except Kamina and Zero. They were the only persons that search for me realize that person was an imposter. They were captured and tortured for my sake."
Euphemia look at Nina's eyes.
"Who you think that know me better you or the savage you like to called them Zero and Kamina. Don't lied to me I want to hear it from your mouth."
Nina simply bowed down her head in shame. To think something terrible happen to her goddess and here she blame everything on Zero but in the
"Euphemia I'm sorry."
"I don't want your apologies, you are just a stranger like Kururugi." and just like Suzaku, Nina ran away from Euphemia.
This story based on Code Geass: Kamina of the Revolution 2 By Archfiend1244 I already got his permission first before posting. This also based from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagan episode 11.
This Idea I had in very long Time after reading the interaction between Kamina, Simon and Euphemia it gives me an Idea why can't the princess that is similar to Simon becomes strong like him after all hardship build character. As such she became a different person no longer the naïve princess thinking the world that is full of kitten and rainbows. But a great pilot and leader that respected by her pierce.
Other reason is that Why is there no other person could be use, I know Lelouch is popular but they are others with potential to be used in writing a fiction.
