So I watched 'The Nightmare before Christmas' last night and for some reason I thought of this...
As Lelouch lamented over his fallen friends and losses, he stared far into the distance, gazing as the sun began to dip behind the mountains and bring forth the night. A cold night, a bitter night. There he stood, on a Cliffside where was buried his false brother, yet brother in spirit nonetheless, Rolo.
"What have I done,
what have I done,
how could I…be so blind."
To live like he had done, committing atrocities without the foresight to see their consequences.
"All is lost. Where was I?
Spoiled all, everything's,
gone all wrong."
His allies had cast him out, his name dragged through mud and his revolution finished. Because he neglected duty in his despair.
"What have I done, what have I done."
Nunnally, Rolo, Shirley, Euphy…Kallen.
"Find a deep cave to hide in,
in a million years they'll find me,
only du~st, and a plaque:
That reads here lies foolish, old Zero"
But wait, a cave, on Kamine island, how appropriate. After all…
"I never intended such madness, never,
AND NOBODY really understood,
well HOW COULD THEY,
That all I ever wanted was to bring them something great,
Why does nothing ever turn out like it should!"
He gave them everything, weapons, plans, ideas, hope, yet they questioned his integrity unjustly.
"Well, what the Heck,
I went and DID my BEST,
And by God I really tasted something swell"
To have come so far, so close, it was exhilarating to think such violence could yield results, especially when he had to build it from the ground up.
"And for a moment, why,
I even touched the sky
And at least I have some stories I can tell
I DID!"
Such power, it was sensational and it will bleed throughout time the exploits of the man who could've ruled the world.
"And for the first time since,
I don't remember when,
I felt just like my old living self again,
For I, LELOUCH VI BRITANNIA!"
Of course, that's how it will be done…with the power of Britannia. Maybe Suzaku was onto something there.
"That's right,
I AM LELOUCH VI BRITANNIA,
And I just can't wait until my next big plan,
For I have some new ideas to grasp this world in my hand,
AND BY THE GODS
I'M REALLY GOING TO GIVE IT ALL MY MIGHT!"
But wait; the Gods, fathers' plans, ah yes, he must be dealt with.
"I hope there's still time,
To set things…right."
I'm coming for you Charles.
I'm not sure why, but I just wanted to put this out. My attempt at a crack fic, but taken a bit seriously.
