Chapter 1: The Massacre
It was a winter night in Japan as snow fell from the sky in light snowflakes. Many people were within a palace called the Aries Villa. There were many dancers throughout the ballroom. The women wearing dresses of elegant designs and the men wore the only the best. The Aries Villa in Japan was livelier than ever. There was one in the homeland of Britannia which had been burned down and one was then built in Japan to show case Britannia's rein over Japan now called Area 11. However, that never stopped the rebellions that certain Japanese still held against the Britannians and the Imperial Family. In fact there was a certain group there were two groups that were the ring leaders of the rebellions. One called the Black Knights and the other was The Order. Marianne vi Britannia stood near the thrown holding herself and standing with her head held high in confidence. Charles zi Britannia, emperor of Britannia sat at the thrown watching over the ballroom. Lelouch stood at his mother's side wearing a lavender coat with a pure white sash and black dress pants. His raven black hair reached down to just about brush his shoulders and his violet eyes scanning the ballroom as if searching for something...someone. He smiled when he saw a figure dressed in a light blue dress with a darker shade of blue ribbons were worn in bows in her long blonde hair. She was on the dance floor dancing with a young boy that loosely resembled Lelouch but had blonde hair. Euphemia was chatting happily with her older sister, Cornelia. Euphemia wore her pink hair up in a ponytail in a single white ribbon while her dress was a soft pink that scrunched up near the bottom and reached the floor and the sleeves were in slits. Cornelia unlike the rest was dressed similarly to a knight and paid no heed to the dance floor. Lelouch smiled as he left his mother's side as Charles motioned for him to come forward with Nunally, who happily skipped over. Charles smiled at each of them. Unbeknownst to them a young boy with dark brown hair and deep green eyes was watching them.
"Suzaku back to work!"
"Yes, sir!" and he ran off.
"Lelouch I know you don't want Nunally to return to Pendragon with me but that's why we got you a gift," Charles said, motioning towards Nunally.
Nunally pulled out a small white and gold, heart shaped locket. She smiled at her older brother.
"I know it's a bit girlie but watch this," she placed it in a palm sized, circular object that was gold with navy blue designs. There was a heart shaped space in the side that the locket was placed in and the lid of the object opened up to reveal the a knight's pin inside and music playing. It was the lullaby that Lelouch heard his mother sing many times.
"It's mother's lullaby." Lelouch smiled.
Charles nodded as he took out the locket when the lid to the music box shut and handed it to Lelouch. "Read it."
Lelouch flipped it on the back. "Forever in Pendragon Together. Really?!"
Charles nodded while smiling at his son.
But they would never be together in Pendragon. That night a dark shadow and evil had fell upon Aries Villa.
A man with long flowing blonde hair entered through the grand doors of the ballroom. There were many resounding gasps around the room as people made way for him to walk. The man had cold, calculating blue eyes and resembled that of a child.
"How dare you return to the palace," Odysseus intervened.
"Why is it such a surprise? I am his majesty's confident." the man spoke with unwavering eyes.
"Confident?" Charles mocked. "You betrayed us. I want you out of this palace."
"It is not I that betrayed you, but you who betrayed me. Charles you became side tracked and haven't fulfilled our promise. You broke our Code." the man said. "You cannot banish me no matter how much you wish it. But I can banish you with a curse. You forget what I'm capable of. Members of your family will die tonight, you'll all be scatter, and you'll each lose someone precious to you."
"V.V." Charles warned.
Then V.V. opened the palm of his hand and a bird-like mark that was engraved into his skin glowed as the gates out side broke. The chandelier hanging above dropped to the floor and shattered causing shrieks of terror to resonate throughout the place. The doors to the ballroom were broke down as individuals with guns stormed through the doors and started gunning down the inhabitants as people ran and scattered. A bullet made its way to Charles' head and he died on impact as Marianne grabbed her childrens' hands and directed them to their shared room.
"Get your coats!" she ordered as she slipped on her own.
When they had on their coats she quickly ushered them out of the room and ran down the hall like many others were.
"Wait! Father's and Nunally's gift!" Lelouch said as turned around and ran back to his room.
"Lelouch! Come back! Come back!" Marianne called as took Nunally's hand and ran after her son. "Lelouch."
There was an explosion heard outside as Lelouch picked the music box.
"Come on! Hurry!" she said as her knight Jeremiah came into the room.
"They're coming my lady!"
Marianne gasped. Then a boy with dark brown hair that was abviously an eleven came out of a door in the wall. "Here. Out this way through the servant's quarters."
He directed them to the door as foot steps approached.
"Jeremiah protect Lelouch and Nunally and I'll meet up with you." Marianne ordered with no room left to argue.
"Yes, my lady! Be safe!" he went through the door with Nunally and after Lelouch went throuh he dropped the music box.
"Wait Suzaku!"
"Go! Go!" Suzaku pushed Lelouch throuh the door and slammed it shut. Then the door to the room slammed open and Marianne was soon after gunned down after drawing a weapon.
"Where are they?" the gunned man asked.
Suzaku threw a vase and then another before he was hit behind the head and went unconscious.
"Come on, Prince Lelouch!" Jeremiah said as he was able to hoist Nunally onto the moving train followed by himself.
"Take my hand!" he called reaching out for Lelouch, who was still running to get on the moving train.
Lelouch had a loose grip that was slowly slipping.
"Don't let go!" Lelouch panicked not liking the idea of being separated from Nunally.
When Jeremiah's hand slipped from his Lelouch tripped and banged his head onto the concrete.
"No! Prince Lelouch!"
Nunally gasped. "Big Brother!"
"No, Princess Nunally! You mustn't!" Jeremiah said as he held her from jumping off the train.
"Brother!" she sobbed.
"We'll find him. I'll send out search parties to find him. I promise."
Many lives were lost that night and others destroyed. Families were scattered and separated. And Lelouch vi Britannia was never found no matter how many search parties were sent out. That was the last time Lelouch was seen and his family never saw him again.
