AUTHOR'S NOTE 10/11/2018: HELLO NEW PEOPLE READING THIS STORY! THIS IS AN OLD CHAPTER AND HAS BEEN REWRITTEN! THE NEW VERSION IS LISTED AS CHAPTER 6! If you want to read the original chapters then be my guest, it should still make sense. Warning though: Do not read the edited chapter One and then come back and continue reading the unedited chapter 2, that will not make any sense because I changed too many things from this chapter that I need to rework and correct for a properly edited and understandable chapter 2. OK, Author's Note over, onto the show!
Disclaimer: I do not own Code Geass
Chapter 1: Prologue to Rebirth
Lelouch snapped out of his somber train of thought when his victory procession suddenly came to a stop. "What is that?" Cried Jeremiah Gottwald
A lone figure blocked the path of the procession. Almost immediately the crowd recognized the figure as the self-proclaimed knight of justice, Zero. But Lelouch knew that under that mask was really his childhood friend and rival Suzaku Kururugi. To bring peace and atone for his past Suzaku would kill Lelouch. Once he was dead, the world would come together to recover from his rule. For once, the nations of the world would commit to united collaboration, rather than compete with one another.
The knightmares guarding the convoy opened fire. Had the target of their fire been any ordinary man he would've been torn to shreds. However, Suzaku was no ordinary man. The geass placed upon his mind forced him to survive, no matter the odds or circumstances. Suzaku dodged, his geass forcing his body to evade each shot with superhuman speed.
"Cease fire! I'll take care of this interloper!" Ordered the Knight of Orange as a hidden blade shot out of his sleeve.
Jeremiah charged forward, swinging his blade in an arc towards Suzaku. However, Suzaku's geass drove him on once again and leapt over Jeremiah at the last moment. He continued forward, pushing himself off Jeremiah's back with his foot for momentum and launching himself in the air towards Lelouch's transport.
Suzaku leapt past Nunnally, then Schniezel, then he was right in front of Lelouch, drawing his sword for the final blow.
"Fool!" Lelouch shouted as he began to pull out his hidden firearm. Then he hears it, a gunshot, this also confused Suzaku, who stopped his sword from piercing Lelouch's heart to figure out what's going on.
Lelouch looks around for what the gunshot might have struck and what he sees makes his blood go cold. Kallen has a bullet wound in her heart, blood pouring out , coating her prison cloths red, her skin was beginning to turn white.
" KALLEN!" Lelouch screams, surprising Suzaku. He dropped his firearm and bounds off of his float and runs towards the area where Kallen is being detained and unlocks her restraints. Her body falls into Lelouch's waiting arms. Lelouch kneels on the ground and lays Kallen on the ground, tear welling up in his eyes.
Her skin was starting to go cold and when Lelouch tryed to get a pulse but couldn't get one. Lelouch had to face it, Kallen was dead, nothing could change that now.
Lelouch was filled with anger, his blood boiling. He stood up, his clothes and hand covered in Kallens blood and looked to where the shot was fired and he saw... pink.
'Oh son of a...' Lelouch thought angrily, his eyes growing wide.
There standing by the railing wearing a solider''s uniform with the helmet removed, stood his younger half-sister Euphemia li Britannia.
"EUPHEMIA!" Lelouch yelled and pointed at the pink headed princess, getting everyone to stare where he was pointing, even Suzaku starred at her, "You shall not go unpunished! Men! Restrain her and bring her to a prison cell, Jeremiah go with them and use your special power."
Lelouch watched as 4 men clad in full body armor tackled his sister and carried her of, kicking and screaming like a mad-man. Jeremiah tailed behind them silently.
Lelouch turned his attention to Zero.
"ZERO!" Lelouch bellowed, startling Suzaku and the people watching, who were transfixed on Euphemia. Zero looked down at Leloouch and he continued,"KILL ME!"
Zero picked up Lelouch's gun that he dropped and pointed it at Lelouch. Another shot rang out and Lelouch fell backwards. He had been shot in his forehead. Lelouch's vision went blank. Lelouch fell on top of Kallen's corpse, blood pouring from his head. He was dead before he hit the ground.
World of C
Lelouch awoke in an endless bright white room, his head was throbbing with immense pain. He was, for lack of a better world, livid at the moment.
"God damn it, where the hell am I!?" Lelouch cursed, still struggling to get back on his feet. There was a mysterious voice that spoke and startled him.
"Well 'Demon Emperor', let me answer your question. You are in the World of C, the collective unconsciousness of mankind."
Lelouch whirled around to see a young woman who couldn't be any older than 20 years of age. She had long, bright red hair that fell all the way to her hips. Her eyes were a sky blue and she had the facial details of C.C.
"Who are you!?" Lelouch questioned, trying to get answers.
A grin spread across the woman's face as she starred at Lelouch.
"Me," She said, a smirk still plastered on her face," I am Mirallen, a messenger from God appointed to be your guardian, Lelouch Vi Britannia."
Mirallen took a deep breath, the smile now replaced by a look of seriousness. She took a deep breath and held up her hand, a picture of Kallen appeared on her palm. She was lying on the ground, unconscious and surrounded by dozens of dead Japanese. Clovis's Royal Guard stood around her, pointing their weapons at her, ready to fire.
"This is the Shinjuku Ghetto in the year 2017 of the Imperial Calendar, to be precise, it is the day you obtained your geass, Lelouch."
Clovis's Royal guard opened fire, filling Kallen with bullet. With that the picture fizzled and disappeared.
"KALLEN!" Lelouch screamed, his face had the look of horror. He turned to Mirallen's face, fire burning in his eyes, "What happened to her!"
Mirallen had a sad look on her face, "Lelouch, this is what will happen if you don't accept God's offer."
"What!? God has an offer for me!"
"That's why he sent me... Deep down you wish you had done thing's differently, changed the path you took. God heard you and decided to grant your wish."
"But that doesn't explain why Kallen is there!" Lelouch screamed, tears forming in his eyes.
"I'm sorry Lelouch. God decided to give her a second chance to, but this time it was to save you from embarking down the path that you did, essentially trying to save your life. I told her when she came here that she could go back to the past to save your life, telling her that she will lose her name, her family, and friends. Essentially that woman you saw was not Kallen Stadtfeld, but a teenager without a name, home, or assets in general."
At this Lelouch was able to pull himself together and asked Mirallen "So what did your 'God' grant me?"
"An option, you can go back, change your mistakes, and save Kallen, or you can stay here and let the image of what I just showed you come true... It's your choice Lelouch."
Lelouch knew what he was going to say and with confidence in his voice he replied, "Mirallen, I accept your 'God's' offer, I'll go back to fix my mistakes, I will save her damn it!"
At this Merallen smiled "Excellent!, you are indeed interesting, please go back and surprise us will you, it is awfully boring watching the same old time line over and over again. Bye Lelouch, I'll see you in your dreams..."
With that a trapdoor opened under him and Lelouch fell into the deep dark endlessness...
Hello everyone! Thank you for reading the first chapter of Code Geass: The Past, Present, and Future! Now, I actually took The Second Coming of Lelouch and saved it for another time... Don't worry I'll repost it later when I have it more worked out and further along in the plot. Now, I would like to say that I would like your opinion, I have 3 questions to ask you,
1. Would you like Nunnally to be a badass
2. Would you like for Kallen to have a geass
3. Would you like for Clovis to live
I honestly have put many, MANY hours into writing this, since I start writing on lined paper and then edit and copy it to the computer, it takes awhile, I can honestly say that this is one of my most hardest worked on projects in my entire life. By the way, this is going up the day before my birthday, which is September 12th, so you guys are super lucky cause I gonna strive to get another chapter done by the end of the month because I always update right before holidays or special occasions because god knows that you would rather read fan-fiction then talk to your family. I try my best to post once a month and if I can't then I am busy with life so don't grill me on that if a chapter is a little late.
Please review, good or bad, it will help me become a better writer which means better content for you. :3
Mr. Indigo commands you... Review!
P.S. Sorry about the short chapter I am getting ready for the next chapter, which is probably going to be twice as long. :)
Edit: Cliff-hangers are jerks aren't they :) If your wondering about why the hell Euphemia is there it will all be explained next chapter :3
