Prologue

The date was 2010 of the Imperial Calendar. The Divine Japanese Empire had completed a nuclear warhead simply called, the Sendo (note: that actually translates into "death"). The Emperor threatened to turn it loose on the Holy Britannian Empire, if they didn't surrender.

However, Charles zi Britannia, the 99th Emperor, saw it as a bluff, and refused to surrender, knowing that Britannia held the superior military strength. The Japanese emperor countered, by launching the first Sendo warhead on the Oregon district, from the distant Hawaiian islands. decimating an entire city with a single blast.

The emperor, refused to surrender, demanding a do or die situation, claiming that Britannia will never falter in such a situation. He sent Britannian forces to deal with Japan, but with the disturbances and ruckus in the homeland, the forces could not remain organized.

For two months, the Japanese launched Sendo missiles on the Holy Britannian Empire. No matter how many troops the emperor sent, the disarray was continuos, and the military could not organize for a counterattack.

However, it all ceased when Charles zi Britannia just... disappeared.

Prince Lelouch panicked as he ran through the halls of the palace. Explosions ran outside as the Japanese military overwhelmed the confused, and leaderless Britannian forces. With no emperor, the Britannians were either retreating, surrendering, or fighting a desperate fight. Though the Knightmares were superior to the tanks, the lack of a leader made victory impossible.

"Big brother!" a small voice said, as a young girl with long brown hair ran up to Lelouch and fell in his arms.

"Nunnally!" Lelouch said as he caught his little sister," Are you alright?"

"Yes!" Princess Nunnally said," Are you?" Lelouch smiled and nodded.

"Yeah," he said, there were more explosions," Come on, we have to run!" Lelouch and Nunnally ran side by side. There was an explosion behind them, as Japanese soldiers rushed into the palace.

Lelouch and Nunnally continued running.

"Freeze!" a soldier ordered," We won't hesitate!" However, a Knightmare burst into the hallway, and swatted the soldiers away.

"Run, your Highnesses!" Jeremiah Gottwald yelled, as he prepared to fight to protect those he swore his undying loyalty to.

Lelouch and Nunnally continued to run, and Nunnally tripped.

"Come on!" Lelouch said as he picked Nunnally up, and they continued running. There was an explosion again.

The two siblings ran into the otherwise untouched throne room, and they ran up to the empty throne.

"What can we do?" Nunnally sobbed.

"I don't know!" Lelouch said, for once at total lost," Without Father..." Nunnally crept over to Lelouch, and Lelouch wrapped his arms around Nunnally as they collapsed at the foot of the throne. Nunnally cried, as Lelouch held her tight.

There were explosions outside, and Lelouch tightened his grip on his sister. Suddenly, the throne room doors burst of their hinges. Japanese soldiers strode into the room, and armed themselves at the ready.

"Get behind me!" Lelouch said to Nunnally. Nunnally moved to get behind him, when suddenly, there was a huge explosion, as if a tank just hit the Britannian palace side, which it probably did. The wall began to collapse, as the palace fell apart, a crack appeared through the room, as it began to split, as the palace withered away. Nunnally lost her footing as the palace collapsed.

"Big brother, help me!" Nunnally begged as she began to fall.

"Nunnally!" Lelouch said as he reached his hand for his sisters. Nunnally reached for his, and Lelouch grabbed for it. Their fingers brushed, as Nunnally fell.

"NUNNALLY!" Lelouch cried, as his sister vanished into the darkness.

"You're coming with us!" a Japanese soldier, as he grabbed Lelouch's arm, and began to drag him away.

"Let me go!" Lelouch cried with tears in his eyes.

"Get your hands off of him!" a female voice roared, as a purple Knightmare exploded into the room, and picked up Lelouch, before zooming away. Several more Knightmares shot at the Japanese, before they zoomed after the first.

The throne of Britannia, teetered, and fell to the ground, as the Britannian flag burned away.

Later the Knightmares continued to zoom through the forest. Lelouch, who had passed out, was cradled in the arms of the first. Six more Knightmares were following the first.

They finally stopped, and the lead put Lelouch down gently. The 2nd Princess, Cornelia li Britannia, got out of the cockpit, and jogged over to her brother's side. Lelouch stirred and when he opened his eyes, he saw Cornelia.

"Sister Cornelia?" he asked. Cornelia smiled sadly, as she touched Lelouch's cheek.

"Yes, little brother," she answered. Lelouch looked around as he weakly got up.

"Where are we?"

"The forests outside of Pendragon," Cornelia answered.

"Where are the others?" Lelouch answered," Where's Nunnally?" Cornelia didn't answer, she just looked down. Suddenly, it all came back to Lelouch like a nightmare. His sister vanishing down into the dark of the chasm.

Tears flowed down his cheeks.

"NO!" he sobbed, as he began crying meticulously. Cornelia let tears run down her face, as she pulled her brother close.

"I'm sorry," she whispered softly. Lelouch sobbed into Cornelia's chest, as Cornelia held her little brother.

Three other Knightmare's opened, and out came Darlton, Cornelia's advisor, a stricken Guilford, and an enraged and saddened Jeremiah. In the hands of Guilford's Knightmare was an unconscious Euphemia.

"I'll destroy them!" Lelouch cried," I promise, I will obliterate Japan!"

On that day, the Holy Britannian Empire was conquered by the Divine Japanese Empire. Members of the Royal Family that were found, were given three choices: exile, allegiance, or execution. Most choose allegiance, but some chose exile. The nobles just cowardly surrendered their power, and fled.

Emperor Genbu Kururugi had the Pendragon Settlement built on the remains of the once great Britannian city. The people were demoralized and broken, as Japanese people arrived to plunder their resources, and start abusing them.

The Chinese Federation did not respond to this. The Euro Universe, better known as the EU, did. They discussed an alliance with Japan, but it was later scrapped for unknown reasons. An unsteady truce would be held for a long time.

Suzaku Kururugi was named the next in line to the throne.

The Japanese people thought the Britannian spirit was utterly decimated, but they were wrong. Some members of the Royal Family who weren't found didn't give up. And one boy in particular, would shape the fate of the world, with his drive to destroy Japan.

(Author's Note: First and foremost: "no flames". I am already well aware that this thing currently sucks, and I don't need reminding.

Secondly, this will have a very different take on Lelouch's mind set. Since Nunnally was killed by Japanese, he never found hatred for Britannia, and instead found hatred for the Japanese. He will still have a drive to protect those close to him, but his main objective is reviving Britannia, instead of destroying it.

This will also feature a different take on Suzaku's mind set. Since he never killed his father, he never felt the need to make up for it.

The pairing is still in the works, but it will most likely go with Lelouch x Kallen. My reasons being that C.C. may or may not have a role in this story, since writing her is difficult for me personally.

Also, many Britannian students will play the role as the resistance force.

I don't want anybody to take this as plagiarizing, since it includes plot elements that I'm still thinking about.

With all that said, I am very open to suggestions about the plot, as in ideas.)
