Author's note: I got this idea randomly… please do not be mad. Also: Although this idea is based on the fact that Lelouch died at the end of R2, I privately DO think he survived and drove the cart CC was on. (you probably noticed by now; SPOILERS FOR BOTH SERIES)

Also, I shall be putting Lelouch on Tenshi's side… and he is NOT the only Code Geass character in here.

Angel Beats: Lelouch of the Rebellion R1

Chapter one

Lelouch opened his eyes. To his surprise, he was lying down on a school walkway, facing up. He was also wearing a weird school uniform that looked nothing like the Ashford Academy one. Confused, he sat up. Last he remembered, he was stabbed with a sword by Suzaku on his request, and people don't usually wake up in unknown uniforms after being stabbed.

"What are you doing here?" a quiet voice from behind him asked.

Surprised, he turned around to see a girl with silver hair.

"If you don't hurry, you'll be late for school." She said quietly, walking past him.

School? Lelouch wondered. Last he remembered, he was Lelouch Vi Britannia, 99th emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire. He didn't go to school.

"Wh… what is this?" Lelouch asked in horror. He had struggled a day of strangers calling him by his first name, being expected to go to class (although he slept through them all; he still hadn't lost his touch) and living like a normal person. It was time he found out what was going on.

"Hey, you," he said, gesturing to a random student.

"What is it, Lelouch?" the student asked. Lelouch removed his contacts, activating his Geass.

"Lelouch Vi Britannia orders you… tell me, where am I?" the student blinked in confusion. "Lelouch, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm late for my extra curricular activity." The boy said, running off.

My Geass didn't work? Lelouch mentally gasped. Impossible! Why?

"Oi Lelouch," another student wandered up to him, "If you don't have club activities to go to, then shouldn't you head to your dormitory?"

"Dormitory?" Lelouch asked.

Lelouch stared in horror. Somehow, the door on the room said clearly: room 304 – Lelouch Vi Britannia

I don't believe this. Lelouch thought to himself. He wandered into his room. He found several things that lightened his mood.

First, he had a chess set.

Second, he was not sharing the room with anyone.

Third… His Zero Costume was in his room. With it, a note was attatched: "Nobody knows that you are Zero. I left this here just in case."

Lelouch gasped. His Zero costume. Impossible. No one was supposed to know that he was Zero.

The Next Day

It was lunchtime in the school. After half a day of sitting through classes, Lelouch went to the cafeteria to get some lunch. There, he decided that the best way to get some answers was to talk to the silver haired girl from yesterday. Spotting her sitting alone, he went in to talk to her.

At that moment

The "Shinda Sekai Sensen table" in the cafeteria

Shirley Fenette had been in this world for several months. She was relatively happy, and she made friends with a group of people whose names were Yuri, Otonashi and Hinata, although most people in the "SSS" were all friends. She was chatting with them when, for a moment, she felt something and turned.

Lulu? She asked herself with a gasp.

"What is it, Shirley?" Hinata asked her.

"It… must have been my imagination." She answered, half to her self. There was no way that Lelouch (or Lulu, as she called him when she was alive) would be here. After all, this was a place for the dead.

"Hello. My name is Lelouch. What is yours?" Lelouch asked the silver haired girl as he sat down across from her. The girl seemed surprised to see that someone wanted to sit with her, but she quickly regained her composure.

"…Tachibana Kanade." She said.

"Tachibana-san," Lelouch asked politely, "may I ask you something?"

"what is it?" she said.

"Where exactly am I?" upon hearing this, Tachibana answered:

"You are at the afterlife. Here, you let go of all your regrets before you are reincarnated."

Lelouch had never heard such a ridiculous thing. Not when he saw Britannia's evil side. Not when CC granted him the Geass and he was expected to believe he could control people.

"…prove it." Lelouch finally answered. "Prove that I am dead."

"…Guard skill: hand sonic."

"Er, pardon?" Lelouch asked with a strange look.

That was the last thing he saw in a while.

"AAGH!" Lelouch screamed as he got up.

"Are you awake?" to Lelouch's horror, the girl who just stabbed him was sitting next to his bed.

'WAH!" Lelouch exclaimed, "Why did you do that!"

"You wanted me to prove it." She said.

Lelouch calmed down. "Fair enough. Okay. I accept your story. However, why am I still here? Why can't I "pass on"?"

"You still have regret from your life." She answered.

Lelouch thought hard about what he might have regretted. He couldn't come up with anything.

Suddenly, there was a burst of music through the school gym, along with cheers of "It's Girls de Mo!"

"what is this?" Lelouch asked in wonder.

"the SSS are up to their stuff again." Kanade sighed as she got up. "Where are you going?" Lelouch asked.

"I have to stop them. I'm the student council president." She said matter of factly.

"They… they're armed with guns!" Lelouch exclaimed, looking out the window.

"I'll be fine." Kanade said as she left, leaving Lelouch alone. Lelouch thought hard. When he was alive, he had lost everything, and using his own power, gained it all back. Now, however, he felt like he had a sense of duty to Kanade; perhaps it was the fact she seemed so lonely and misunderstood. Besides, Lelouch thought to himself with a smirk, despite the fact that the Black Knights were his puppets, wasn't it their motto, their motivation, their creed to deliver justice?

Lelouch made a decision, and raced back to his room.

"Guard skill: Distortion" Kanade said softly, and as she did, many bullets pinged off a sudden distortion in the air. Around her, she was being overwhelmed by many SSS members who were taking part in "Operation Tornado". Kanade's distortion would not hold much longer. She had to do something, fast.

"Stop!" Kanade and the SSS members turned to see the one who cried stop.

To their shock and bewilderment, a figure in a long regal black cloak, a very fancy looking outfit and a dark mask loomed over them.

Zero had arrived in the afterlife school.

"Lelouch Vi Britannia orders you," Lelouch had a feeling that his Geass would work on these people, he didn't know why, "to die!"

"Aye Aye sir!" One by one, the SSS members shot themselves. As they did so, more of them rushed out.

"What happened?' one of them exclaimed. Then, they caught sight of Zero. "Tch." Zero opened his mask again, unleashing his Geass. "I command you to-"

"Wait!" a voice came from the gaggle of SSS members. Normally, Lelouch would not have stopped, but this voice meant something to him.

It… can't be… Lelouch exclaimed.

"Please stop, Lulu…" a teary Shirley Fenette came running up to him admist confused SSS members and a stoic Kanade.

End of ch 1

Author's note: Augh… I think I can consider this a failure, but I will continue this… anyways, let's clear up some things. 1) Lelouch's Geass works on a person unlimited number of times now (it got stronger, tee hee). 2) Geass do NOT work on NPCs. 3) There will still be more Code Geass characters.

REVIEW PLEASE!
