Throughout my time as an Anime watcher, it's always revolved around military sci-fi among all others. To tell the truth, I usually keep under the radar from the popular type anime, and went in for either sleeper hits, past series or underdog anime's. For this reason, here's my fourth fanfic. This time, centering on the Code Geass anime, one of the most popular anime's of all time. Heavily used AU. And more on the European Union perspective. Welcome to Code Geass: Black Widow.

Prologue
Much of Britannia's history began when the Celtic King known as Eowyn defended England from the Roman invasion. And much of Code Geass' history begins there. During Washington's Rebellion, Benjamin Franklin denies being an Earl to the Britannian Empire, as how the United States is created.
Despite the loss, Britannia began to rebuild, using 'Sakuradite'. Meanwhile, France underwent a revolution, overthrowing the monarchy, and gave way to Napoleon's rise to power. The First French Empire was created, as Napoleon declared war on Russia, Austria, Prussia and Britannia. This resulted in the Napoleonic Wars.
(A/N: I'm not sure if no one uses this yet in AU versions of Code Geass… but here goes) During the War of the Third Coalition, Britannia won the important Battle of Trafalgar. In our timeline, the Napoleonic Wars ended with the Coalition being victorious. As a result, Britannia never moved to Area One, or the US (being independent before the Napoleonic Wars), nor Canada, referred to as Area Two.
Britannia remained in the island nation, until a Second English Civil War sprung out, between the Loyalists called Imperials and the Parliamentarians with the Monarchists in support, ten years later. Many Britannian soldiers defected to the Monarchists, along with many of the Imperial bloodline killing one another to obtain the throne, this resulted in the victory of the Parliament.
After the Imperial defeat, they fled to Area One, now Canada. England is now renamed the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. So far, the UK and the US have risen to a power, so has Japan. And peace came to the world.
Years later, Charles' father claimed the throne as the Holy Britannian Empire returned to its full potential. When he died, his son Charles zi Britannia claimed the throne. Royal Family members, Odysseus, Schneizel, Cornelia, Euphiemia, Lelouch and Nunnally are born. At Ares Palace, Imperial Consort, Marianne vi Britannia was assassinated leaving Princess Nunnally crippled.
This resulted with Prince Lelouch sent into exile along with Nunnally as political tools.
In 2000 a.t.b, the UK, along with several other European nations, Africa and Russia, created the European Union. The capital was placed in London instead of Paris. In that same year, the United States and Europe created the SLAMS Treaty, as both nations in 1995, have missile capabilities.
In response Britannia, following a Social Darwinist policy, created a new weapon, the Humanoid Autonomous Armored Knight, the Knightmare Frame. They used the weapon to gain the Republic of Brazil and many Latin American countries.
The United States, Europe, Japan and the Chinese Federation decided to block trading routes to Britannia, and create sanctions due to their recent invasions. Secretly, the Britannians asked the Chinese Federation, through the High Eunuchs to lift the blockade. The Emperor, who has discovered that there are high deposits of Sakuradite in Japan, launches an invasion, along with the US.
In one month, Japan has become a colony of the Empire. Russia's port of Vladivostok, along with its eastern coastline fell. And the United States suffered losing the Western half. Only the Eastern half remained, because the US has a new weapon of their own, aircraft.
While the Battle of Japan raged, much of Britannia's air power was used against the Japanese. Sometimes, its Knightmare VTOL's have been harassed by Japanese ASX-F Shinden II's and ATD-X Shinshin fighters. They fared well against Britannia's jets and aerial battleships, it's not enough to stop the war machine. As a result, they fled, along with all of the JASDF to Europe, with some heading to the United States.
In Japan, one year after the Black Rebellion ended in failure, a demon will be reborn. In Europe, everything is about to change, when a Britannian Field Marshal decides to defect.
April 10th 2018 a.t.b (1963 A.D)
"The target is this way, my lord." One soldier said
"Don't let him escape! He must not make it out alive!" he answered
"Yes, my Lord!" One soldier answered back. The airport in Toronto is under an intense gunfight. Britannian soldiers fired against Canadian Nationalists and Britannian defectors.
"This way, Field Marshal." One of the Canadian Nationalists said. "Here." He handed him a briefcase. "Make sure the Europeans know what's going to happen. If Zero and the Black Knights failed in Japan, I'm sure you'll continue where they started."
"But this time on a different stage." The Field Marshal turned to his men. "Alright, get in the transport and hurry!"
"Yes sir! Pull back and get in the transport!" One of the rogues said. All of the men entered the transport while Britannian tanks and VTOL's closed in. "Oh shit, we've got tanks and VTOL's!"
"Might as well hurry hide, Catalanotto. I'll see you again soon. Lead these Nationalists to victory." He said "Give your hearts."
"Give your hearts." He repeated while turning to his men. "Alright. All units, mission complete. Disengage and head for the rally point!" While the Nationalists disappeared, the transport planes soon became easy targets for the tanks and VTOL's, but not before they were destroyed by blue lasers. The transports finally took off as the fighters came in.
"Field Marshal, this is Zero Squadron." The fighter pulled up to the transport. "We'll escort you to Europe, say to the President that you're willing to defect, you and your soldiers."
"I know. I just hope that the EU allows defectors instead of nobility." The pilot waggled its wings as it rejoins formation. He looked inside the briefcase to find that he has plans of his own. Because of Europe's independent state armies and growing unrest in the superpower, he plans to tear it down from the inside and reconstruct it. Also inside the briefcase was a note.
'My contact will meet you. We'll discuss terms when you reach Berlin. –LM' It was all the note read. He does not know who this LM person is, but she'll be of great help.
"Sir, one of the orbital satellites has picked up something." His officer said
"Let me hear it, Walker." He answered as Walker found the source. "Came from Japan too."
"We've been awaiting you Master Zero. Please give us your orders." The person said to a schoolboy.
"Very well then. After all, I am Zero. The one who shall purge this world and create it everything anew."
"One year after the Black Rebellion was a failure, he came out of the shadows." Walker said. The Field Marshal mused a bit.
"Looks like this war has gotten a little more interesting. Once the European Federation is created, we shall take their war to their home soil. Si Vis pacem, para bellum. Britannia." He closed the briefcase as the flight to Berlin will take a while.

The identity of the defecting Field Marshal shall take place next chapter. I'm not sure how many fanfic writers have included the idea that Britain won the Battle of Trafalgar during the Napoleonic Wars. To top it all off, I included a Second English Civil War, because, how would Britain be involved with the EU. And now, we have an oncoming plan to change the EU into a major superpower that would rival Britannia. Hope you enjoy the prologue.
