Ok so I've reworked this story, thought I didn't change much this chapter mainly just spelling mistakes, a few sentences were rewritten, and I added some new names. But the story is still them same as the original.

Chapter 1. Gained power.

-------

Lelouch de Britannia sat in front of the computer screen, his fingers danced across the screen like magic, faster and faster. This was his life, his chess board, and there was no one better at moving his pawns then him. Inside of his personal board at Ashford academy he was completely alone, except for Sayoko.

There were several windows on his screen as he typed, constantly breaking though layer after layer of code. Then one screen jump ahead of the others and what he read concerned him greatly.

"Che, damn it. Q1! Helicopters are headed in your direction, route R now."

"Roger, Nakato tur…" the radio shut off.

His fingers continued to dance, typing through line after line of incomprehensible code, searching for the one thing he needed. He looked through line after line, and there it was, he had found it. He's finger typed faster the ever as they rewrote the entire area.

"Q1, you're clear, head for destination 4"

His fingers stopped, and he laughed at his success. He had just rewritten the entire description of the target vehicle, and it worked. He watched another screen as the army changed routes, chasing after an imaginary blue truck. He sat there and rested his hands. He'd been at this a long time. He sighed and wonder if this would really help in the end, after all he'd really only been harassing the government, no serous damage could be done by this. Then he looked to his right, at the only precious item he had, a picture. The only thing he had to remember his mother and sister, long since dead.

"And all because of Britannia! Because of HIM!" Lelouch felt the familiarity of rage hit him as he thought of his father. He quickly got up walked to the bathroom and dunked his head in the sink. He stared long and hard at his face, his eyes; he always hated his eyes, because they were his eyes as well. Just then his headphones spoke.

"K! You there?" K was the nickname given to him by the members of his group. Given that only Ougi and two others new his real name, and by the fact he called everyone by P, N, or R numbers it only seemed to fit. Minami had been the one to explain that they were related to chess. So he had become K in their eyes, their king.

Lelouch quickly put the headphones on over his wet hair.

"I'm here Ougi. What's the report?" He responded.

"Q1 and Nakato just arrived with the package, and…" Ougi stopped. Lelouch could her yelling in the background, he could guess who it was, Lelouch smiled.

"Um… Kallens upset you didn't let her take out the helicopters."

"Ougi! Why'd you say that!" her voice was audible through Ougi's radio.

Lelouch almost laughed. Kozuki Kallen, who had one of the most fiery tempers he had ever seen was also know as Kallen Stadtfeld, the calm sick girl at Ashford academy. Lelouch had enjoyed acting like he didn't know her throughout the previous year, even though she had killed for him.

"Q1, while I appreciate you enthusiasm, letting you sortie with the helicopters, would have given the knightmare squad behind them enough time to catch up and surround the target." He responded coolly, as if daring her to argue.

She almost did, Kallen fumed at the fact he never told her about the knightmares behind them, but then calmed herself. This was not after all an isolated incident; there were many times K had only given her part details on the situation, only explaining it in detail afterwards. But she had learned, follow his orders and you'll live. She shivered a moment, remembering how she had gone against his orders before, and her brother had died for it. 'Never again,' she thought to herself.

"I'm sorry K; I got a little carried away." She responded quietly. Lelouch thought about adding more, as he to had been thinking about said incident, but dismissed it. After all he didn't have all day.

"You did well none the less. Ougi dismiss the others and wait till my arrival before doing anything to the target," He ordered.

With that he got up and walk down the stairs. Upon entering the living room he saw Sayoko with a tray of food.

"Master, you should eat before you go to school." She told him importantly.

It sometimes annoyed Lelouch how she told him what to do, but he had grown to appreciated it a little, given she actually cared for his heath and wellbeing.

"I'm sorry Sayoko but other business has come up, I'll have to apologize to Rivals for breaking our match this morning." He spoke thoughtfully as he continued past Sayoko towards the door. "I guess I'll text him after we leave, oh and I need you to drive me to that place."

Sayoko frowned slightly, she new what he meant by that place, she was going to become his body guard once they left the house. 'But here' she thought to herself, 'I'm still the maid.'

"At least have some toast before you go; you don't what to faint because of an empty stomach do you?"

Lelouch gave her an evil look, as if to say 'how dare you presume I would faint.' But seeing only concern for his health in her eyes, he backed down.

"Fine, if it'll give you piece of mind," he grad some from the plate she was carrying, "I'll eat it on the way."

Sayoko quickly put the rest of the food on the table and without changing from her maid dress she left the house to get the car ready. Lelouch watched her go, and wondered how he'd feel if she died. 'Certainly it would be easier if she wasn't nagging me to eat, get exercise, or go to school.' He thought to himself, then thinking of the past few years he sighed. 'Then again I'd probably have starved to death without her.' Lelouch acknowledged this by the fact that he rarely eats anything unless it's shoved in front of his face. 'A trait I've had since Nunnally and mothers death.'

"Lelouch," called Rivals in a whining voice as he caught up with him. "What was so important you had to skip that?" He asked referring to the chess match Rivals had arranged for him.

"I'm sorry Rivals, but you should check with my schedule before setting up games for me to play."

"What a waste, do you have any idea how much money you could have made?"

Lelouch ignored the question, he continued towards the car parked in front of the school that Sayoko was now driving.

"Huh?" Rivals looked at the car. "You're skipping classes again?"

"Sorry but could you tell the president for me, some stuff cam up this morning." He answered without looking back.

-----

Lelouch walked into the warehouse, the two guards on duty immediately recognized him, and backed down.

"How are things?" he asked Ougi as he entered.

"Kallens pissed as usual, but aside from that everything went according to plan."

Kallen was always in a bad mood when Lelouch arrives at a scene, because it meant she and the rest of the group left. Many people argued against the faceless leader, but had accepted him after Naotospoke up for him, unfortunately shortly before his own death. Since then Ougi and K had run the group. With success after success, and more money in the budget every month, they had grudgingly accepted him. Even if he would not trust them with his appearance, they had even come to respect him.

Lelouch followed Ougi to the center of the warehouse, Sayoko close behind, there stood the capsule.

"So this is what you wanted huh?" Ougi asked casually. "Britannia's big secret?"

"No. not Britannia's, Clovis's secret." responded Lelouch. "Something so secret he'd probably level the city to find it." He turned to Ougi. "Open it."

"What but that's poi…"

"Clovis wouldn't have spent all his time on a new massacring tool!" Lelouch retorted. "He knows he would only lose regard with the nobles for suck a thing."

Ougi stared at Lelouch, then headed for the drivers side of the truck. 'I supposed if anyone here new Clovis it would be him,' he thought to himself. 'They were brothers after all' He pressed the button.

Lelouch watched as the capsule opened and a girl fell out. Ougi stared stunned for a moment, then went to help her, as did Sayoko. Lelouch beat them both; he was beside her before Ougi could get out of his seat. Lelouch used his quick slender fingers to unzip her legs and hands. Then watched as she tugged down the part over her mouth, only to sit there and watch them curiously.

C.C. stared at her rescuer, she couldn't believe her eyes. She stared long and hard at his cold piercing eyes and his raven black hair, his defiant smug appearance.

"Who or..." he started. Then C.C. interrupted him by laughing, a calm but crazy laugh.

"Who would have though, that you'd find me first? Lelouch de Britannia." C.C. asked him with clear sarcasm in her voice.

Lelouch didn't have time for games, and that fact that she knew him irritated him further.

"Who are you, and what are you! More importantly, why where you locked up in that?!" He pointed behind her to the capsule.

C.C. looked behind her at the capsule the turn to face Lelouch, with a slight smile she answered.

"Isn't it normal for men to lock up women?" the sarcasm in her voice wasn't lost on Lelouch, it only mad him angry. Ougi too stared at the strange women, wondering how she could be to calm when only hours before she was in a high security building trapped in a capsule.

After it looked like that was all she had to say, Lelouch began his retort.

"You…." Only to be interrupted again.

"To answer you first question, my name in C.C., and your second and third questions have the same answer. I'm an immortal." her voice now cold and detached.

Her sudden change of tone threw Lelouch off guard, so it took a moment for him to register her words.

"Immortal? Idiot!" he yelled back. "Don't play games with me or I'll test your claim."

One of the guards, Ishda Lelouch noticed, walked forward and rested his hand on the gun still slung over his back. C.C. eyed him for a moment before leisurely stretching her arms and legs and standing up.

"Hmm, go ahead. I have no fear of guns." She responded. "But don't mistake your enemy; I actually want to help you."

"Help me? How, and why? I've never meet you before, and no one should even know I'm alive." C.C. continued to smile as she walked towards him her hand outstretched.

"Hmm, how did I know you were alive? Because we were promised to each other," She continued closer. "I've been looking for you all this time."

'Sarcasm again' Lelouch thought

"Tell me, what is you one true wish." Lelouch looked into her cold eyes and then her outstretched palm. He didn't know why, but he felt like she already new his goal.

"My wish?" he laughed then suddenly he was serious again. "My wish is to destroy Britannia! To destroy this corrupt world and build a better once in it place! One my sister should have lived in!" C.C. smiled at him.

"Then take my hand, and I shall grant you power, power that can help you complete this wish." She stood there smile on her face waiting patently.

Ougi watched confused as Lelouch slowly graded her hand. C.C. pulled herself toward him with frightening speed, and kissed him. It was not a romantic kiss, nor was it a forceful kiss. Lelouch didn't know how to describe it, and didn't care after the images started to race though his head and her voice resonated in his ears. Then it was over and she pulled away.

"From now on were accomplices." She responded coldly.

Just then Ougi's cell phone rang. Lelouch ignored it as he stared dumbstruck at this woman, was this power real, was she telling the truth. He watched her as she looked back at him, an amused expression on her face.

"What!! Le... K!" Ougi quickly change the name as his radio was still on.

Lelouch was irritated but noticed how flustered Ougi was.

"What is it?!" he yelled back unable to hide his annoyance.

"Prince Clovis has just entered the Shinjuku ghetto, in a command unit!"

"What?" Lelouch asked stunned, "why would he go there?" Then he remembered his earlier statement. "Damn it, Ougi we need to get there quickly." Lelouch opened his brief case, and showed it was holding a computer; he walked toward the car Sayoko had parked out side.

"Lelouch?" Ougi asked with concern. "What is he planning to do?"

Lelouch stop a moment, "since he can't get to us, he's going to draw us out by attacking our base."

"Our base? But he doesn't know where it is does he?"

"No he doesn't, which is why he's going to destroy the entire ghetto." Then Lelouch noticed the women walking behind him. He'd almost forgotten. "You're coming with us?"

"Of course." She responded bored

"Well then, you have to do exactly as I tell you."

"I won't be ordered around like one of your pawns." She responded coldly.

"Think of it more as a bodyguard." Sayoko looked at Lelouch and raise an eye brow.

"After all, you can't let me die can you?" C.C. ignored the question and followed him.

They got into the vehicle and Lelouch started typing on his computer, C.C.'s interest increase as she watched his fingers dance faster and faster across the keyboard.

"Ougi, have everyone meet at the railroad by the western exit." He spoke into the radio to the car behind them.

"Huh, the railroad, why?"

"Because were going to drop off supplies." Lelouch smiled as he covered his right eye.

------

Lelouch, Ougi, and the rest of them walk towards the station; there were 5 guards outside the fence, and even more inside given the yells they could hear. Lelouch walked towards the guards, Ougi almost stopped him but C.C. step in his way. When the guards noticed them, they immediately pointed there rifles at Lelouch and Sayoko.

"No trespassing, leave now or we will be force to consider you terrorists." The guard yelled. Then shot the ground in front of Lelouch to prove his point. Lelouch was undeterred; he removed his hand from his right eye and spoke.

"Lelouch de Britannia orders you; go kill all those by the train and the kill yourselves after."

The guards immediately stepped forward, guns up and stated loudly enough for those behind him to hear. "Yes! Your highness!" They entered the fenced area, Ougi and the rest caught up with Lelouch in time to hear the gunshots, and Lelouch's laughter.

"What the hell just happened?" Ougi looked at Lelouch whose eyes shone with triumph.

"We just got more power then we could ever have hoped." Was Lelouch's answer as he move toward the fence, laughing. Upon entering he saw all the bodies, brutally shot to death. Ougi and the others followed.

-----

"Grr, just were the hell are they?!" Kallen yelled front her knightmare at the group around them. They had just heard Clovis tell the army to destroy the ghetto over some sort of speaker system. "Why are we just standing here doing nothing?"

"Calm down Kallen." Minami spoke up. "Ougi said it was K's order, and he hasn't let us down yet." Kallen looked down at Minami from her knightmare, she could have stepped on him at that moment, but he was right. She sighed and tried to calm down. Just then two Sutherlands came out from the buildings further down the rail.

"Found you, damn elevens" Jeremiah called to them through his knightmare.

"Damn it!" Kallen yelled as she ran towards them in her own knightmare.

Jeremiah fired but Kallen dodged the initial shots and fired her slash harkens. Jeremiah blocked with one of his own, then fired his other, Kallen just barley dodged as she went in for the kill. Only to be hit back by the other Sutherland.

"Damn it!" she yelled as her knightmare struggled to get up.

Jeremiah stood in front of her and aimed his rifle. "Dodge thi…" he never got to finish. His seat ejected as he was pummeled by gun fire.

Lelouch smile as he destroyed the sutherlund, his own positioned on the top of the moving train. The other sutherlund attempted to fire at the new enemy, only for Kallen slash harkens tear his knightmare in two.

Kallen watched as the train came to a stop. Wondering who was in the knightmare that had saved her.

"Q1 are you alright?"

"Eh, K? Um, yes I'm fine." She answered startled watched as Ougi step off the train.

Lelouch looked at his group. Though small in number they had made there names against Britannia, following his orders. He new they would trust him with their lives even though he never trusted them with his face.

"I've come to you all bearing present's." he stated to his loyal followers. He watch in almost delight at their expressions, when they saw the train was filled with Sutherlands.

"Were the hell did he get all these?" ask Minami. "Who cares where he got them, now we can fight back!" Tamaki yelled his response.

"Get into you new machines, and let's save our ghetto!" Lelouch spoke encouragingly. "I'll go scout the area and respond back in fifteen minutes, "B1 and 2, you're with me."

"Huh, B1 and B2?" Kallen said confused as she watched two of the Sutherlands stand to follow K. "Who are they?"

"Bodyguards," responded Ougi. Kallen looked at Ishda and Kazuma who were giving instructions on operating knightmares to some of the group. 'I thought they were his bodyguards?' she thought confused.

"Kallen we don't have enough sutherlunds, so just change you energy filler, and join the rest." Ougi climbed into his own machine and stopped to think. 'What is this power, he was able to order the guards to kill themselves.' He thought back to his friend Naoto, 'how would he have felt about this?' Ougi remembered the day they meet Lelouch, he had told them everything after saving there hides from the military after a bad op. They had grudgingly accepted his help and even became friends. Then Naoto protected his sister and lost his life because of it. He remembered the look of anger on Lelouch's face when Britannia announced they had defeated the terrorists. Ougi shivered at the memory. 'Well we made it this far, can't turn back now.'

---------

See not much was changed, chapter two will be a lot more expanded as I added more on what the individuals were thinking at the time of battle, but once again it'll have the same story structure as the original.

Ps. don't be afraid to state ideas for the fic as I may actually decide to use them.
