Code Geass R3:

Star of Geass

Act 0

Prologue

(Ashford Student Council Room)

Kallen: 'The date was August 10 in the year 2010 of the Imperial calender. Since that day, Japan has been soaked in blood for more than 8 years through the acts of Prime Minister Kururugi and Zero. However, it is thanks to Zero that the world is on the path to peace. It has been about a year since Lelouch was killed by Zero. I should be happy that the Japanese finally have their country back and are on the path to peace. But something just isn't quite right...'

"Hey Kallen, think fast!" yelled Rivalz.

She quickly turned around to see two small books and a clipboard flying toward her. She stumbled but was able to catch them with ease.

"Hey," said Kallen, "what are these for anyways?" She turned them over in her hands.

"One book states all the student rules and regulations that have to be followed. The other book has the school and club activities budget that must be balanced. Since you're going to be the new student council president, you're going to need to-"

Stunned, Kallen said, "W-Wait, I'm going to be the new student council president? What about you Rivalz? Aren't you going to run for president?"

He laughed and replied, "Kallen, do you think that I could run against the Black Knight's Ace pilot? I don't think that anyone would even try to run against Captain Kallen Kouzuki and her Guren S.E.I.T.E.N."

Kallen sat down and said, "I'm still in the Black Knights you know." She then fiddled with the Guren's key in between her fingers.

"Yeah, but aren't you on like permanent leave since you are really not that good at politics and stuff?"

"Maybe," she said quietly.

Kallen started to read the first page on the clipboard titled 'New/Transferring Students' when there was a sudden yelp of pain from Rivalz. She quickly got up, knocking her chair back.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"It's Arthur! Since Suzaku isn't here anymore, it seems he's taking a liking to me. Lucky me I guess..." he chuckled sarcastically.

When he said Suzaku's name, both of their minds turned to all of the friends they knew that were killed in the war. Shirley, Rolo, Suzaku, and Lelouch... why did Japan have to take them before their time?

'No,' thought Kallen as she sat back down. 'You can't let their death's get to you too much. It's because of them and your brother that you are a member of the Black Knights. But peace at such a high price, was it worth it?' She was frustrated by these thoughts until Rivalz broke the silence with an important question.

"Kallen," he started, "What was Lelouch really like? I mean during the battle with the Black Knights, he was able to takeover the whole world. But what was he really trying to accomplish? I mean... Milly said that it seemed 'a little odd' that none of his guards, or even Jeremiah, were able to stop Zero. But she said that might just be her investigative journalism talking. But I want to know from someone who got to know more of the real Lelouch than me. So then why did he have to die? Didn't he care about us?"

Kallen had to think long and hard about this. She honestly didn't think that she really knew Lelouch either. How could someone who knew both sides of a person describe his true face? After a long and awkward pause, she finally spoke.

"I don't think I really knew Lelouch all that well myself. But if there is one thing that I learned about him, it's that what he cared about most," she turned her head to look out the window and finished, "were results."

"I see," said Rivalz. Another long awkward pause and then Kallen's phone started to ring. The caller ID said 'ZERO'.

(A week after Lelouch's death)

C.C.: "I said that Geass was the power of the king, which would condemn you to a life of solitude." She stopped and chuckled thoughtfully, her tinkling laugh floating through the air. "I think maybe that's not quite correct. Right, Lelouch?"

The man driving the cart chuckled as well.
