by Don Marquis

{Continuation of the story by Vanderwall.} Lelouch along with his sister survived the war . But what if they had someone who helped them along. Someone who was just as smart as Lelouch, a better fighter than Suzaku and his past as mysterious as C.C. Someone who was as feared as death himself.

1. Chapter 1: The Masked Man

The Dark Prince of Britannia

Chapter 1

The masked man Lelouch was backed up in a corner in an abandoned warehouse shielding his younger sister from the gaze of the Japanese. Their glare like a beast's on their prey. Lelouch did not blame them It was his father's actions which were responsible but nonetheless he wouldn't let them touch Nunnally .They closed in on him ,as soon as he was ready to accept death. A shadow fell in from above giving him enough of a distraction for him to grab Nunnally and escape. He ran as fast as he could not looking behind not stopping until he collapsed from exhaustion. They were now near a small cave where they decided to rest for a bit .Lelouch leaned against the cave entrance intending to keep watch but soon he fell into the chasm of drowsiness unto sleep.

He was woken up the rays of light indenting on his face. He was surprised to find a man his face covered with a white scarf .he was pretty sure that it was the person who had saves them in the ware house.

Putting his silence to an end he asked "Who are you? Are you the one who saved us in the warehouse?"

"Indeed, I am "he replied. His tone was soft enough and seemed to belong to a person maybe 5-6 years older than Lelouch .but he was certain that whoever he was he was neither Japanese nor Britannia. Putting his thoughts aside he spoke again

"Whoever you are you will leave at once."

The masked man started chuckling" and here I was going to offer a little help"

Changing his tone into a bit serious one "boy, I have already noticed that you are alone and your sister over there is blind as well as unable to walk. You have a little to no options left. I am offering you a hand take it."

"How do you know she is my sister?"

"I have seen you risking your life for her. People only do that for their blood."

"You ask me to trust you when I don't even know your name."

"Names mean nothing. Am I not offering you help even though I don't know you"

"You do it out of pity."

"No I do it out of obligation"

Suddenly a couple of knightmares came into his sight "Boy wake your sister up I will convince you later but for now take her run in that direction until you come across a stream you will find a cave there with food and water .wait their till I come understand."

"Yes" And the man ran in the direction of the knightmares with a duffel bag in his hand.

Lelouch rushed took Nunnally waking her up taking her on his back and started running in the direction the man instructed. He ran for what seemed like eternity until he reached the stream and found the cave. They waited in the cave for 2 days there was still no sign of him. He decided that it was time to give sun had just risen. He packed what he could and when it was all ready he woke up Nunnally and just when they were about to leave a patrol of 6 officers were passing by. Lelouch hurried back in the cave hiding Nunnally behind a couple of boulders the officers entered the cave out of curiosity but then he noticed Lelouch and grabbed his hair from where he was hiding

"What do we have here?"
