"Lelouch…" Nunally called through their large house.
Lelouch ducked as pieces of rubble fell from the building above. "Damn… I knew I shouldn't have left the knightmare." He said to himself as he ducked into a gully.
He held up a radio to his mouth "P-4 move up on the left flank."
"Right boss." P-4 replied over the radio
Lelouch looked up as he heard a whistling sound. A large shining object was falling from the sky. It landed in front of Lelouch trapping him in the small room.
"What?"
The large piece was a glacier. Pure ice, Lelouch could feel the cold emanating off it from where he stood. Inside was a dark silhouette.
"What is this?" he asked in surprise stepping back
The ice cracked and began to break away. Soon the whole glacier was on the ground in shards. Inside was the mediating form of a young girl with Ice Blue hair. She was wearing an Ice-Blue dress, her long short hair came down to her neck.
"Who… whoisthis?" Lelouch asked
The girl opened her eyes, the ice-blue iris gave Lelouch the sense that he staring into the coldest pits of his own soul.
"Hello Lelouch Lamprouge." She said standing up
"Who are you? And how do you know my name?" He asked
"My name is Guardian I. Ice. How I know your name is currently not important. All you need to know is that I'm your friend and I wish to help."
"How are you going to-" Lelouch was cut off as a large robot burst through the wall. It looked down at the two and aimed it's large rifle at them
"No. This can't be it." Lelouch said to himself
Ice drifted forward up to the Knightmare's 'face' and touched it lightly, the crackling of ice could be heard as the knightmare began to freeze over. Soon the whole construct was covered in ice.
"Who… who are you?" Lelouch asked as Ice floated down to the ground. She turned to him with a serious look on her face. She smiled at him sweetly.
"I already told you. I'm Guardian I. Ice, a friend and ally to the black knights and a public enemy of the empire of Britania."
"Boss!" P-4 shouted over the intercom
Lelouch put it to his mouth "What is it P-4?" he asked
"There's some reinforcement. One man, he just took out the whole-Aghh!" The com cut to static
"P-4? P-4 respond! P-6! P-6 come in! P-7! Anyone!"
"There's no one left." Ice told him "We must go, quickly. Before it arrives."
"What's it?" He asked "and why should I trust you?"
"Because I just saved your life. Now go." She grabbed his wrist and burst forward. She flew past the remnants of the city and the ruins of knightmares. She landed on the outside of the city panting.
"Are. Are you ok?" Lelouch asked
"I… I'll be fine." She said to him looking up at his face.
"We need to get out of here." He said grabbing her wrist and trying to lead her away. As he took a step forward a large white knightmare burst around the corner. It looked down at him and stopped.
Suzaku Kurugi, first private of the Britannia military and an honorary Britannia. Below him were two civilians. He looked away and sped off, trying to find any more rebels in the area.
Lelouch didn't know what was going but he began to run toward his home. Eventually Ice collapsed. He picked her up and slung her on his back before taking off running toward the nearest train station. He bought two tickets and got on the train. He rode it to the edge of his school's campus. He entered and made his way to his home. Inside he set Ice down on his bed. He sat down in a nearby chair and held his head around his eye.
"This power the girl gave me. What is it for?" He asked
The doorbell rang suddenly and Lelouch went to answer it. When he opened the door it was the green haired girl from before.
"You! How are you?-"
She pushed past him and shut the door behind her. She ran to his room and found Ice on the bed.
"So, you found her?" She asked
"Who? Her? Yes, well, she found me, but, who are you? And how are you still alive? I saw you get shot."
"Don't worry about that now. I'm here to warn you. She's here for you. She needs your help." The girl told him
"What do you mean?" Lelouch asked
"She's here from another world. Another dimension. She's one of a group known as the-"
"Guardians." Ice cut in
"Ice! You're awake." The green-haired girl said suddenly
"Hello C.C. , it's been a while." Ice said seriously
C.C. gave a small smile before hugging Ice. "How are you?" she asked
"I'm fine. How are you?" Ice asked hugging her back and smiling widely
"You two… know each other?" Lelouch asked
"Yes." Ice replied as C.C. let go "I know C.C. from a long time ago."
"Fine, whatever, but you." He pointed at C.C. "What did you do to me? This power in my eye. The ability to control other people. Why did you give it to me?" He asked
C.C. looked at Ice who glared at her. "I… I gave it to you to protect you. You're destined for great thing Lelouch. You must stay alive until your fate has been fulfilled." C.C. told him
Lelouch looked at her skeptically.
Ice nodded her agreement "She's right. That's why I was sent here. To make sure you remained alive, and to ask you to assist my people."
"What kind of assistance are you asking for?" Lelouch asked
"My people need your help. In three months time we are going to declare war and we're going around gathering allies. You made our list. You're a brilliant tactician and not to bad in the field when you're in a knightmare." Ice explained
Lelouch nodded "We'll discuss this all later, right now it's late and I need to go to bed."
