The basic idea for this particular chapter was taken from the story Entropy' written by 'Shadowblah2'.
It is a good story and he is one of the best writers i have seen on this site, so please read his story if you ever get the time. It is better than mine anyway.
And to anyone who had read my first attemp at this story, I will only say this:
"I have not copied a single word feom another user this time. The only thing taken from another story is the basic concept for this chapter(which i have written in my own words). So please just read the whole thing before posting comments about copying another's work"

Code Geass
Lelouch slipped down the carpet leaving a bloody trail in his wake. If nothing else, his death would be a grand show for the world to watch.
He finally came to a stop and saw Nunnally crawling over to him and grabbing his hand. He could feel his time growing short and he knew that the next part of the plan was the most important. He knew he had to hurry to get in his final part in this act before dying.
'Wait a second, why is Nunnally crying?'
It couldn't have anything to do with him could it? She had called him a Monster and rightfully so, as who else would have used a power like Geass on his own sister? She should be happy that the Monster would be no more. But then why was she crying?
'Could it be that she knows? But how?'
He had ensured that no-one knew about Zero Requim. Except for him, only Llyod, Cecile, Jeremiah and Suzaku knew about the plan. everyone else had been Geassed to forget about this.
'Then Why?'
Maybe she was just sad that her brother was dying. She must be sad for the brother who loved her, who was dead a long time ago. Killed by this Monster that had taken it's place.
'Anyways I have to proceed with the plan'
He tried to speak but the blood loss had already made him pretty weak and so he wasn't able to say any more than 'I'. He took a deep breath trying to ignore the pain it caused him due to his pierced heart and lung.
"I..." He was barely able to speak anything. "Destroy...the world... and created it... anew"
'Crap' Instead of 'so you create it anew' he had said 'and created it anew'.
'At least it won't have any major complications on the plan' He thought. 'Lets just forget about it. It's not like I can do anything now.'
And with these thoughts he took his last breath.
Or so he thought.

A voice drew him from his endless sleep. He sat up with a start. Gasping for breath trying to calm down his racing heart.
'Wait, heart? Didn't Suzaku pierce it with his sword?
He looked around trying to find some clues as to why he was alive. He saw two doctors conversing and concentrated on what they were saying.
"The reason for death was failure of multiple organs due to lack of blood like-"
--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--
He had called a team of doctors, engineers, after death specialists, etc. to look to it that his body was kept on the Damocles before it was launched into the sun.
He had ordered thwm to assemble in a small town in California near Jeremiah's farm. That was where his body was to be taken.
Their fear was apparent on their faces. Who wouldn't be afraid if called by the Demon Emperor himself?
He knew that all these men hated him but that didn't matter right now. All he needed them to do was follow orders.
"Lelouch Vi Britannia Commands you..."
He had then proceeded on to command them on what they were to do after he died and also to not notice anything strange.
--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--
A voice pulled him from his daydream.
"...Starting with the heart which rupture due to application of force by a sharp object."
So his heart had burst. Then how was he alive.
'I dont even have the Code'. As he thought this, a strange suspicion entered his mind. He brought up his right hand to investigate. And sure enough there it was, glowing bright red, the symbol of Geass. A bird about to take flight. He quickly ren throught the owners of this code. First V.V. then his father and then him.
'But if i took the code, then how was i able to use Geass?'
I will look into it later, he thought to himself. First he had to get out of the crematory unnoticed.
He may have Geassed them to nit notice anything strange but he won't be taking any chances now. Especially since this was the matter of keeping a peaceful world he had made for Nunnally. Zero Requim must succeed. And for that he would have to remain dead. No-one could know that he was alive.
He quickly got up and used the butt of the gun, which was kept with his other personal belongings on his side, to hit both the doctors behind the head, making them loose consciousness instantly. He took on the thinner doctor's clotheclothes and mask.
As soon as he stepped outside, he heard a gasp.
"Your highness, but how?..."He turned around to see Jeremiah Gottwald along with Anya Alstreim sitting in the waiting room chairs(idk much about hospitals and all, so just take it in). He felt his anger surge inside him for a moment before speaking
"Jeremiah, why are you here. I told you to go back to your orange farms as soon as you pulled out of Japan. You have risked the whole plan by coming here you know that? And how were you able to recognise me even with this mask?"
Jeremiah kneeled down on the floor and looked up at him looking regretful and... confused? why was he confused.
"Forgive me for disobeying you M'lord, but seeing your body get the proper respect it deserved from all the soldiers was something I took upon myself to ensure that no-one could even think about harming your body after what you did for this world, even if it doesn't know it."
"He didn't even sleep on the flight here." Anya chimed in from the side. Her monotone was receding and he could hear a bit of respect in her voice. After the 9 long years of housing his mother's soul in herself, she was finally returning to her original self.
"Yes M'lord. If anyone would have recognised me then i would have taken care of them(read:killed them). I had taken an oath to protect you with my life. Protecting your body was the least I could do."
'God can this day become any worse?'
"And I was able to recognise you because of the Geass in your eyes."
"Geass..."
'Apparently it can' Lelouch thought. as he tried to search for a mirror. and behold he truly had Geass as well.
He had seen his contact lenses kept along with the rest of his personal belongings but didn't think about wearing them as he had the Code and so he thought that he didn't have Geass.
Without a word he turned around and rushed back to the room he had come from, Jeremiah and Anya coming behind him. He quickly found and put on his contact lenses.
He had succeeded to some degree in activation and deactivation of his fully manifested Geass like his father but it was still very hard to do and so he decided to just go on with the contacts.
"So now I have both the Code and the Geass... but how?" He wondered aloud.
"The code M'lord?"
Lelouch held up his right hand while continuing to think. He heard a sharp intake of breath which confirmed the fact that Jeremiah understood the importance of this discovery.
'C.C. said that Geass can no longer manifest after a person completes his contract and takes over the code. But i never completed my contract with her. So this must be a loophole in the contract. If that is true then this new power...'
"Only i possess this new power which combines both the Code and the Geass. So i shall call it..."
"Code Geass"
