Prologue
Suzaku,
You were my oldest friend, yet my greatest enemy, funny how life can work out like that, when we had met that day in the Shinjuku District I had honestly thought you had died and that I wouldn't be far behind, but then something happened, the woman that was in the pod, she had saved me by taking a bullet for me and passing a power onto me. That power was Geass, the power to manipulate the minds and thoughts of others, make them do things they would normally not do, using this power I accelerated my plans against my Homeland of Britannia and became Zero.
We had clashed many times, neither knowing who the other was, when I had found out, I was shocked, I had wanted you to be the one to protect Nunally so that I could accelerate my plans for changing the world. I resolved myself though to continue on with my plan and ending up doing something I never wanted to do, I used my Geass on Euphimia.
That day when she had announced the Special Administrative Zone, the day I appeared I initially had the intention of killing her, but she convinced me, she convinced me that the SAZ was the best choice to use for the future. But it was not meant to be unfortunately as my Geass went out of control, it would no longer shut off, it was permanently activated, when I was explaining my powers to Euphy my powers activated as I said the words 'Kill all of the Japanese'.
I cannot image how much you must hate me for that, but I most likely hate myself even more for I took advantage of that and began the rebellion that day against Britannia. During the Rebellion the one thing I never planned for, never wished for had happened, a stray shot from a Knightmare Frame had destroyed the room Nunally was in, she was killed instantly, reason I became a devil, the reason I became Zero was now dead. After that I was crushed, I had lost my reason to fight, my reason for everything.
However C.C. the person who gave me the power of Geass, the immortal witch with whom I had a contract with reminded me not all was lost, I could still achieve what Nunally and Euphy wanted, a world of peace and kindness. As you know our battle was a success we managed to capture Cornelia and forced a surrender. Our victory had a larger impact then I had thought, the conquered nations of Britannia had risen up in Rebellion, we the Black Knights had done our best to aid these Nations as they rebelled. I am not proud of some of the choices I made, but In war sometimes those choices had to be made. It was then I found out my father`s true plan... the Ragnarok Connection.
His plan was to essentially unify everyone's thoughts and will, basically, no one would think differently from the other. It sounds good, but it would be stagnant, there would be no progress, no future, no nothing. It was shocking really, but the biggest shock came when one of his collaborators revealed themselves, my mother Marianne, she had a Geass herself, she was able to imprint her mind into someone else's and live through that, in the end I used my Geass on 'God' the collective unconsciousness of every living being alive to reject the Ragnarok Connection ending it permanently.
I had originally planned to assume the throne of Britannia and become the focal point of everyone's hatred and blame for all the bad that has happened, and the die. But then something happened. I'm sure you know who Kallen Stadtfeld, or Kallen Kozuki as she prefers to be known as, is by now, she had done something that I never would have expected, even after finding out who I was... she said that she loved me. I'm sure that a part of you is laughing your ass off at that part, don't you dare deny it Suzaku, but it's true, she confessed to me. I was so wrapped up in insuring Nunally's happiness that I forgot she wanted me to be happy as well.
I however didn't want to live in this world to be honest, everything reminded me of Nunally, so C.C. gave me and Kallen an idea, the pod we found her in was a stasis pod that was used to keep her docile when they weren't experimenting on her, so we got our hands on some, C.C. will be putting me and Kallen in soon, I decided to write to you because above everything you were always my friend Suzaku, so... Thank you and Goodbye.
Your friend
Lelouch Vi Britannia AKA Zero AKA Lelouch Lamperouge
Suzaku frowned as he set the letter down, anger, sadness, happiness and guilt all running through him as he stared out the window to his apartment in downtown Tokyo settlement as he looked over the city where slowly but surely the Japanese and Britannians where mingling with smiles on their faces, on the one hand he was angry with Lelouch for doing what he did to Euphy, but even he couldn't deny the results as the Black Knights ushered in a new era of peace that everyone loved.
The Chinese Federation, after a short rebellion led by the General Li Xingke and supported by the Black Knights, split up into separate countries that they were before the annexation and joined the new United Nations started by Japan with the Military force of the Black Knights. Britannia after a couple of months of infighting one Cornelia li Britannia assumed the throne and her first declaration was that all the 'numbered' nations were to be freed from Britannian rule shocking many, although this, she claimed, was in memory of her late departed sister Euphimia li Britannia.
After retiring from the military after two more years of service Suzaku settled down in Tokyo as a police officer hoping to ensure that it will not become corrupted, surprisingly Cornelia had presented him the Lancelot Albion in recognition of his services to Britannia and her sister to keep as his own Knightmare frame. Of course Lloyd being unable to be separated from his 'precious', Lloyd's own term, followed him to Japan along with Cecile Croomy to ensure nothing bad happened to it.
"Amazing isn't it," Said a green haired golden eyed girl as she stepped up next to him, this, of course, was C.C. the one who delivered the letter to him "I had originally had contracted with him so that I could die... but now I find myself wanting to live."
Suzaku nodded "I guess I understand what he is saying, even if I don't completely forgive him for it," He sighed and turned away from the window "I was about to call for some dinner, you hungry?"
C.C. immediately perked up "Pizza." She stated making Suzaku blink before chuckling and called Pizza Hut.
