Zero and Infinity

"Well, was that adequate for you?" inquired a blond figure sitting in a dark room. "I've ordered all my forces to stop their advance and to treat all casualties as equal regardless of who they are."

"Indeed and for that I thank you, however…" started a figure in the shadows wearing a soldiers uniform. "Our business isn't quite concluded prince Clovis."

"Oh, and what would you have us do next?" Clovis asked. "Perhaps a friendly game of chess before you leave?"

"Chess, now that brings back memories." the mysterious soldier noted. "Though I would always beat you when we played."

"What are you talking about?" Clovis questioned. "Just who are you?"

"Have you forgotten, we used to play each other at the Aires Villa." the soldier stated calmly, before stepping out of the shadow and removing his helmet revealing purple eyes and dark hair.

"You, but I thought…" Clovis started in disbelief.

"That I was dead, quite the contrary brother. I Lelouch vi Britannia, eldest son of the late consort Marianne and seventeenth in line to the imperial throne, am very much alive." Lelouch replied calmly. "I've returned, and I intend to change everything."

"Lelouch, this is wonderful news. I feared you and Nunnally had perished in the initial invasion." Clovis mentioned. "We should return at once and let everyone know of your survival."

"For what reason other than for Nunnally and I to be used as tools again, have you forgotten why we were sent to Japan in the first place?" Lelouch questioned before drawing his gun and pointing it at Clovis. "We were used as tools because out mother was killed, and despite how it looked terrorists weren't responsible. The imperial family itself was responsible for her murder."

"I didn't have anything to do with that I swear Lelouch." Clovis panicked.

"You can't lie to me any longer big brother." Lelouch stated as his left eye turned red and a crane-like symbol appeared in it. "If it wasn't you than who, who killed my mother."

The moment those words left Lelouch's mouth, two red rings appeared around Clovis' eyes and he relaxed his body.

"Second princess Cornelia, and my brother second prince Schneizel can tell you what happened." Clovis stated blankly.

"Cornelia and Schneizel, they were the ones at the heart of this?" Lelouch questioned only for Clovis to remain silent. "I see, so that's all you know."

As he said that, Lelouch's eye turned purple again and the rings around Clovis'eyes vanished.

"Lelouch, I swear I had nothing to do with what happened to your mother." Clovis exclaimed nervously.

"I believe you big brother." Lelouch noted lowering his gun. "Never the less…"

"Wait, you can't do this. We may have different mothers but we're sill blood." Clovis stated nervously.

"That's true, but we both know…" Lelouch started before aiming the gun between Clovis' eyes. "You can't change the world without getting your hands dirty."

Suddenly a small device fell out of Clovis' pocket and landed between the two men.

"Wait Lelouch, if you spare me you can take that. It should heal Nunnally's blindness." Clovis offered desperately.

"What, what are you talking about?" Lelouch inquired while picking the device up off the floor.

"When I was made viceroy of area 11, I wanted to at least feel like I was doing something for you and Nunnally. I ordered the top scientists to work on a device that could restore her sight, I'd almost forgotten about it but if she's alive then take it." Clovis explained. "Just please don't…"

"I appreciate this big brother, but like I said." Lelouch mentioned calmly. "You can't change the world without getting your hands dirty."

With those words Lelouch shot Clovis between the eyes, killing him instantly.

"Lelouch, wake up." snapped a blonde girl before hitting him on the head with a paper fan. "I know you were asleep you're hand stopped moving."

"Sorry madam president, but you don't have to beat me up for that do you?" Lelouch asked.

"That's what you get for ditching me." mentioned a blue haired boy.

"Rivalz has a point, what was with you yesterday?" inquired a girl with long orange hair.

"Oh that, well you see…" Lelouch started.

"That's enough, we can talk about that after we deal with the club activities budget." the blonde girl interrupted. "If we don't fix this there won't be money for anything at all."

"She's right, and if we don't get this done then…" started a girl with dark green hair and glasses.

"Then the equestrian club will be pissed and we don't want them chasing all of us down on horseback." Rivalz finished.

"Rivalz, can't you be more serious about this?" the blonde woman inquired.

"Actually Milly it would have been nice if you'd reminded us about this a day ago." the orange haired girl explained.

"If you want my opinion Shirley, I would have gone with a day later." Rivals suggested. "Then we really could have given up on it."

"That's a great idea, and we can still do that." Lelouch agreed.

"GUTS!" Milly yelled suddenly causing everyone in the room to wince.

"Huh, are you still trying that guts spell?" Rivals inquired.

"Yup, I want you people to put your all into this." Milly stated calmly.

Can I really trust Clovis, he was desperate so he might have said anything but if there's a chance he was telling the truth then maybe, Lelouch thought.

"Huh, what's that supposed to mean you perv?" Shirley questioned suddenly.

"Oh nothing." Milly replied mischievously. "Anyway we need to get the budget finished up so let's get back to work."

On top of that, there's that girl who was piloting the Glasgow. I'll need to find her and get some answers; I know I recognized her but I just can't remember where I've seen her before.

"Lelouch, are you sleeping again?" Milly inquired.

"Huh, oh of course not. I wouldn't leave you guys to deal with this mess on your own." Lelouch answered. Nunnally, hopefully it'll be tonight.

(Lelouch vi Britannia, an exiled prince of Britannia has murdered his half brother after using a mysterious power on him to learn what happened to his mother. Next chapter the nature of Lelouch's power will be revealed, and he'll realize the identity of the woman who was piloting the Glasgow. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
