I'm just going to point out some of the basic things.
"_" = out loud
'_' = thought
word = stressed
And the most important thing is that this story is a rewrite of the original plot Takeshi8188 at .com. I thank him for his damn great plots, and I hope that he comes back to writing and his personal problem is solved.
Well that's it. Hope you guys enjoy this at much as I'm rewriting this as I am.
01 - The Rebirth of a Demon
At a Brittanian Military base, an officer is entering a room where a man is alone facing the window. The officer spoke, "Sir Isaak, the preparations are complete. What shall we do now?"
Isaak, a man with a slight muscular build with his face turned away without looking at the officer announced, "That is good, to think it only took 18 years to clear all the annoying obstacles in our reseach have finally paid off. We are done for now, however prepare all units to get ready, tomorrow Japan becomes ground-ZERO once again." A purely menacing laugh resounded through the base.

Two mysterious figures are talking in the shadows. One, a lanky teenage-looking boy asked, "So witch, has it been long enough for me to come back in to the light of society?"
The other, a young, teenage girl responded, "Can't really say….. It has only been 18 years, the world may not need the real Zero yet."
The boy asked, "Who said Zero was coming back? The world may not need the real Zero back, but I doubt it would mind one more face in the crowed of people behind the scenes." He walked out of the shadows with grace.
"So how exactly do you plan on making your comeback? Do you plan to go back to your old academy, back to Ashford?" The girl questioned as she followed the boy out of the shadows.
Once the figure was fully out of the shadow, it showed no other than the late 99th Emperor of Brittania, Lelouch Vi Brittania. He answered in a calm voice, "That is exactly what I plan on doing."
The other figure revealed to be no other than CC, the lime-green-haired witch that had a contract with Lelouch over 20 years ago, followed behind him, rolling her eyes as she was saying, "I don't think that is a very good idea, someone may recognize you."
Lelouch snorted, then said, "Its been 18 years since I died…. I think It should be safe enough."
CC sighed, "18 years or not, you haven't changed in the slightest, you still look like a school boy."
Lelouch responded with a smart-ass tone, "That is exactly why it will work with me going back to school. In fact it seems that a select few special people happen to be attending this year."
"And who might these be…?" CC asked out of curiosity.
"From what I hear, it sounds like everyone I know has kids in school." replied Lelouch with a slight smirk.
"Is that so…. Who would have thought that you would one day be surrounded by the kids of the very people you grew up with." CC responded with a smirk of her own.
"Yes, it is ironic, don't you think?" Lelouch asked.
CC said, "That it is, but you had better hurry, isn't tomorrow the first day back at school?"
Lelouch nodded and said, "You are right. Tomorrow is the first day, of a new beginning."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The next day at Ashford academy, Lelouch and CC are walking through the halls to the headmasters office. "Looks like not much has changed." Lelouch said looking back at CC.
"True, only fitting I say. But….. What name are you going to go by, you cant possible use your real one." asked C-C with a questioning look.
Lelouch said in a thoughtful tone "I plan on using Lelouch, Lelouch Lazarus."
"Let's hope no one realizes the similarity." said CC.
Lelouch nodded "Right. Now where was the headmasters office?" He then bumps into a guy with green hair, causing Lelouch to lose balance.
The guy turns around and says "Oh sorry. Wait could I help you with something?"
Lelouch smiles a little and says "Yes actually, where exactly is the headmasters office?"
The guy says slowly, "Well…. Headmistress Milly Cardemonde" He then tells him the directions."Oh and by the way my name is Zach, yours?"
Lelouch is surprised, but answers nonetheless "Um…. Zach, it's Lelouch."
"Mine's CC" answered CC in a monotone.
Zach says "Well, be seeing ya around I guess" He then starts to walk away.
Lelouch walks and looks back to CC again, "Well, looks like Rivalz finally got his way. Took him long enough."
"So what do you plan on doing once you meet Milly again?" asked CC, choosing not to be involved with Rivalz.
Lelouch frowned. "I actually plan on telling her, she would be nice to have as an ally in the school."
It was CC's turn to frown. "I really don't think that's a good idea, you know, the whole "you're now immortal" thing."
Lelouch nods. "I see your point, but soon enough the world is going to know so, I think it's only right that my friends know first."
CC shakes her head "No way is this going to end well."
"Oh enough, you're too pessimistic sometimes."
"And since when are you optimistic?" CC asked.
"You will see why soon enough." answers Lelouch
They reach the headmaster's office, and Lelouch knocks on the door.
The bright and teasing voice of Milly Carmonde is heard through the door. "Come in!"
CC gulps.
Lelouch opens the door, showing Milly. She looked just as she had when she graduated Ashford, but more mature. Lelouch looks at her and says, "Ah, Milly, you seem to have become headmaster after all."
Milly gives a questioning look. "After all? Do I know you?"
Lelouch smirks. "Well…. I guess 18 years has been a long time. But at least time hasn't done you any harm, oh and how is Rivalz doing? I haven't seen him in years, either."
Milly's eyes widen and stutters "No way, this cant be possible, you're….. you're"
Lelouch raised an eyebrow. "I am what? Dead? No,quite the contrary, hell wasn't ready for me yet."
"But I saw you… Zero, he….. He…. Killed you." Milly said Unbelievably.
Lelouch's face grew nostalgic "Ah yes, you were the reporter there weren't you?"
Milly just stared. "But I don't get it….. You look exactly the same as you did 18 years ago?"
"Yes I do, yet another benefit of a certain power." Lelouch answered honestly.
"...?" Milly just gave a questioning stare.
Lelouch laughed, even CC smirked a little. "Don't worry about it too much, I am the same person you once knew."
Milly pouted. "Fine...as you say...I wont ask too many questions right now...but why are you back here?"
Lelouch waved his hand. "I have my reasons. But don't worry I wont be causing nearly as much trouble as I did before."
Milly glared. "Let's hope not, we are finally at peace after all of that!"
"And you're welcome, so could you um….. Fix up some paper work saying that I am who I say I am?"
Milly lost her glare and answered without hesitation. "Anything for you. But you should know, that there are a lot of kids that go to this school that you know the parents of. Don't do anything stupid or to attract too much attention, you can't go getting caught again."
"I know that already. But how is Nunnally doing?"
"Funny you should ask that, but I won't say just yet, but I will say, that you should see the rest of the Senior class before asking too many questions." Milly said smirking all the while, which made Lelouch a little uncomfortable"
Lelouch shook off the feeling and asked, "So, who all should I know?"
Milly spread her arms out. "The entire student council, and anyone that looks like they are familiar or doesn't quite belong. You will know what I mean when you see them."
"Alright. Well its off to class. Lets go CC." Lelouch leaves with CC not far behind.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
CC asked once they leave the room and are walking to class. "Well that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be."
Lelouch gave her a look. "I told you, everything will be fine."
They reach the classroom. When they enter, Lelouch notices something that catches his eye – bright red hair.
Lelouch points in that direction and whispers to CC with slightly wide eyes. "Is that who I think it is?"
CC follows the direction and is shocked as well. "No way! It can't be! But, she looks just like her." She whispered back.
"I know, but it cant be!"
Lelouch, letting his curiosity take over, decides to take the empty seat next to the beautiful, red-haired girl. When he gets closer, he notices one small difference between the girl and the famous Red-Lotus of Japan – she has brilliant purple eyes.
The girl notices Lelouch and asks, "Hey, you new here?"
Lelouch snaps out of his daze and answered, "Yeah, just transferred."
"Hmm…. That's cool. By the way, I'm Reiko."
"Okay, I'm Lelouch, but I know I don't know you but, you look so familiar."
Reiko says "That's odd."
"What is?" CC asked, taking the seat directly behind Lelouch.
Reiko said "It's just that, you seem oddly familiar to me too."
Lelouch's eyes widened after hearing that 'Oh no. It can't be! But it has to be.' "So Reiko, anything I really need to know?"
Reiko smiled "Yeah, one. I am on the student council, I'm the secretary."
Lelouch thinks 'No surprise there.' "So who is the Pres?"
Reiko laughed. "You must be new, it is none other than the Headmaster's daughter."
Lelouch thought, 'Once again, no surprise.' "So, who are the other people?"
Suddenly, a boy with spiky blond hair and green eyes comes in.
The guy shouted with a 'Drop dead attitude', "Hey kid you're in my seat!"
"Am I?" 'I should…' Lelouch thought panicking on the inside.
CC panicked. 'Oh no, not now.' "Um…. Excuse us we didn't know."
Reiko glared at the boy "Hey! Don't be mean to my new friends, Takashi!"
Takashi raised an eyebrow. "Friends you say, well," he turned to face Lelouch,giving a smile, extending his hand, "Sorry about that then, I will just take the other one then….for today."
Lelouch shakes his hand, then leans over to Reiko's ear and pointed to Takashi and whispered, "What's his problem?"
Reiko looked at him. "Oh, don't mind him, my boyfriend here has…. jealousy issues."
Takashi looked back. "I don't have 'issues'! I am just overly protective" he said with slight sarcasm.
Lelouch holds his hand up. "Don't worry I completely understand."
Reiko then realized something. "Oh yeah! By the way, he is also Vice - president of the student council."
CC shouted in her head, but kept her face looking neutral. 'how the hell did he get that!' "Hmm…."
Lelouch acted surprised. "Wow! That is the same office I held back at my other school."
Takashi shouted "Sweet! Hmm…. I may end up liking you after all." patting Lelouch on the shoulders.
"That's good to hear" 'Who does this brat think he is? Talking as if he owned the place or something.' Lelouch thought in anger.
"And don't worry, he gets nicer the more you get to know him" said Reiko.
Takashi then said "Oh and if you didn't guess, I am extremely nice to her." pointing to Reiko.
Reiko blushed. "Oh don't say that, they might get the wrong idea."
"But that's the whole point." Takeshi said with a grin.
Just after he said that, an explosion goes off in the distance.
Reiko shouted "What the hell was that!"
"Nothing good if I had to guess." Takashi said in a slightly panicked voice.
Lelouch said with a worried look. "Oh boy, not good." He then thought, 'Why did I have to be right.'
"Don't tell me" CC asked in a raised voice. 'It can't be… not on the same day we get here' She thought bitterly.
The TV happens to be on. Everyone crowds around it to see what is happening now. The announcer then appears on the screen. "This just in, there has been an attack staged on the government building - Queen Nunnally and King Zero were not in the building but only because they were both still on their way there."
Lelouch shouted, "Oh no!" 'Who ever done this shall pay dearly!' He thought with hate that could be compared to when he was mad with his father.
CC said to everyone. "This really isn't good."
"Who would want to harm Zero or Nunnally?" Reiko questioned.
Takashi agreed. "Yeah they were the best things that ever happened to Japan!"
Lelouch look at the both of them. "Oh, I take it you're both Japanese?"
"And what of it?" Takashi asked with a voice on the verge of snapping. 'If he dares calls me an eleven I swear I will kill him now!'
"Oh I meant nothing by it, I was just asking."
Takashi calmed down. "Well, not completely. We are both half Brittanian."
Reiko then spoke softly. "...Yeah my mother is Japanese but my father was a full blooded Brittanian."
"Was? You mean" Lelouch asked but was cut off by Takashi.
"Don't ask about him. He died at the end of Lelouch Vi Brittania's reign."
Lelouch spoke sorrowfully. "Oh I am sorry."
Takashi looked at Lelouch again. "By the way what was your name again?"
Lelouch looked away. "Um…. I was named after him, my name is Lelouch."
Reiko has tears in her eyes. "That's sad." She spoke very softly.
"There you go, you made her cry." Takashi scowled at Lelouch.
Lelouch apologized. "I am sorry for what he has done."
Takashi gave a questioning look. "What do you mean? It's not like you could have helped it. Hell you were probably even born after the bastard was dead."
Lelouch scratched the back of his head. "About the same time, but…"
CC cut him off giving a warning glare at him "But nothing, it wasn't your fault, deal with it." 'Don't ruin it now.'
The TV is still on and the announcer speaks again. "We have no reports yet as to who these terrorists are but they seem to be using siege techniques used by Zero during the Black Rebellion. Okay Zero is on the scene, he has just released the Black Knights. Wait! It's the Zero Squad, with the nigh ancient yet famous Guren leading the charge."
Reiko instantly brightened up when the Guren was mentioned. "HEY there's my mom!"
CC thought in shock. 'You mean to tell me that she really is hers!'
Lelouch turned to Reiko with respect. "So your mother is Kallen Kouzuki? I hear she is quite the pilot."
Takashi snorts. "That's an understatement, she was Zero's #1 since the beginning."
"Oh I know about that." 'All to well.' Lelouch thought with a smile.
Reiko said, "Well if they are releasing mom this soon then they must be desperate or really pissed."
Lelouch puts his hand on his chin. "Knowing this Zero, I say both."
Takashi reasoned. "Maybe, but he is a mastermind, he should get rid of them in no time at all."
CC spoke with her taunting voice "Well we will see won't we?"
The announcer then said, "WHAT! THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT. Sorry but there seems to be confusion with the viewers at the scene. They say that the new terrorists are winning."
Just then the TV cuts out and is replaced by the silhouette of an unknown man.
The man then spoke. "My name is Isaac and I have made my stand. The whole world shall bow before me! You don't stand a chance. Even your great "miracle worker" stands in awe before me. I have even taken down the beloved Guren, and its pilot Kallen Kousuki."
Reiko shouted. "NO! No way mom could be beaten. No way!"
Isaac continued, "But no harm shall come to anyone. I am giving you my demands, and if they are not met in a week's time, I shall come again, this time, sparing no one."
My demands are as follows:
Return the world's government structure to what it was under Charles Zi Brittania's rule.
Second: All non-pure blood Brittanians shall be enslavedone again.
Lastly: All forces known as the Black Knights, of any level, now be under my control.
Good bye, I hope you willingly comply to my demands, because it would be a shame to see the entire world fall into the chaos it just so recently escaped from.
The TV cuts off again and returns to the normal broadcast.
Reiko is scared. "No, they won't do it."
Takashi, trying to put up a brave front, agreed. "No they can't. We won't let them!"
Lelouch asked "But what can you do to stop them?"
Takashi slumped his shoulders. "I don't know….. We will just have to think of something."
Reiko spoke softly. "But… There's nothing we can do."
"For now…. Soon enough I'm sure everything will be taken care of." Lelouch said with a smirk.
CC gave him a stare, trying to figure out what he's thinking. 'I don't want to know what he means by "for now"' "Hmm…. Soon enough"
