Fate/Rebellion

An Alternate account of the events of Code Geass and The Fate Series


Fuyuki City: 00:08, a decrepit warehouse on the bad part of town.

"What?" asked the confused Lelouch.

"Are you my master?" The blond warrior replied, "If you truly are my master then there should be command seals on the back of your hand to verify our sacred contract."

Not wanting to look weak in front of her, Lelouch calmed himself down and quickly assessed his situation.

"So what you're saying is that, there are seals on the back of my hand that prove whether or not I am your supposed master?" Lelouch inquired.

The mysterious woman nodded her head and answered Lelouch with "Correct."

Curious to the implications of being this woman's master, Lelouch promptly removed his gloves. Doing so with his trademarked swagger and flare.

"Well I'll be damned…." Lelouch stood there gaping at his hand, it was covered in strange markings like she said it was. "Now…" Lelouch deliberated "…How do I turn, being this creatures master into an advantage?"

Lelouch took his gaze off his hand and straight to the eyes of his new "servant"

"What does being your master mean then, umm…. Ah what do I call you?" Lelouch asked.

"Saber, call me Saber" she responded.

"Well Saber, what does being the master of a female killing machine mean for me? I assume there is some sort of catch to this new power?"

"You're very perceptive ma…." Saber was cut off before she could complete her sentence.

"Saber. Call me Lelouch, Lelouch VI Britannia!"

"Brit-an-ia…" snapping herself back together, Saber went back to answering Lelouch. "You realized there was a catch to such great power, with no prior knowledge of the grail and the war. I'm impressed."

"There's always a catch to great power being handed over so easily… there always is." Lelouch said this while reminiscing of the time C.C. promised him the power to bend another's will, Geass. Indeed Lelouch was not unfamiliar with this concept. "You mention a grail and a war as well, care to elaborate for the ignorant, Saber?"

"This is not a laughing matter mas… Lelouch, you are caught up in the Holy Grail War. The fourth one to be exact. This is a war fought by six other masters and servants like ourselves, we fight amongst ourselves in secret battle to attain the Holy Grail. A devise capable of granting any desired wish of both the Master and their Servant."

Lelouch stood there, staring at his hands. Soaking in all the knowledge given to him by Saber. "Any wish we've ever wanted… granted?"

"You are correct, Lelouch. All we have to do is kill the six other servants and any wish can be granted."

Lelouch continued to stare blankly at his hands, ignoring everything Saber just said.

"Any wish I've ever want granted?"

As Lelouch said this, images and flashbacks began to appear. Britannia reigning supreme over Japan and destroying everything in sight, His own mother slain in cold blood, Nunnally blinded by the trauma and weeping for their mother, his own father Charles Zi Britannia not giving a damn and banishing both he and Nunnally to Area 11 and lastly, lying to Nunnally about the corpses littered on the streets of Suzaku's hometown the bodies fresh from a Britannian slaughter. It was the only thing he could do to comfort Nunnally and keep her innocent from anymore unheeded bloodshed.

Tears of both sadness and utter rage flowed down Lelouch's cheek. He had kept silent for almost a whole minute.

Finally Saber spoke. "Lelouch what is…"

Lelouch then spoke his tone calm and quiet. "Saber, do you want to know what my wish is?"

Saber just stood there, not knowing what to say or how to respond.

"Well I'll tell you anyway. My wish is to see my little sister, Nunnally grow up in a world of peace and love. A world where she can finally look at and not be afraid, a world where she can smile again…"

A look of relief swept through Saber, she was chosen by an honorable and benevolent master. She would gladly follow a man like Lelouch to hell and back if these were the ideals he possessed.

"But you see Saber…" Lelouch's stoic and tranquil voice began to grow louder and angrier, this drastic contrast upset Saber but not enough to disturb her positive view of Lelouch.

"To achieve said world, there is one thing I must do, that is to end the root of this horrible, horrible world me and my sister live in. The root is an unjust and cruel nation, ruled by an even worse man…. Saber do you really want to know what my wish is?"

Lelouch began to advance upon Saber, his footsteps like a rampaging army. Raiding any space left between himself and Saber.

Saber frightened by the man Lelouch has become begins to step back until she can no longer, trapped by a wall and an advancing Lelouch. Saber can only stand in terror as her master begins to stare directly into her eyes, as if piercing a sword into her very soul.

"What do you wish for master!?" Saber mumbled.

Lelouch backed off his advance and stood completely still, he began gazing towards the east where a small opening of moonlight, crept unto the foreboding darkness.

"My wish? My wish is to destroy, Britannia!"

Saber's face began to contort and sicken, there was no feeling in any of her limbs and she began to falter. First dropping her invisible weapon, next fainting to her knees. Her body was weak, she could faint at any moment.

"Why? Is my wish a problem for you… Saber?"

That was the last remaining sound, Saber had remembered. As she promptly collapsed to the ground. Stricken by overwhelming grief, by her master's wish.


Location Undisclosed: 00:32, a dark room with a solitary chair, as the only furniture around.

"My, My Lelouch. Aren't we an ambitious one? Destroy Britannia? And people say the youth of today's generation lack drive and conviction."

"Here's proof to those simpletons that not all youth inside the Holy Britannian Empire are concerned with the hottest trends and finding the hip, new way to insult the "numbers."

"But what can one expect from a boy like Lelouch, so filled with tragedy and woe is he that even Shakespeare would find this boy's tale too sad."

"But unlike Shakespeare and the other human scum, I understand you Lelouch, I know you."

"We are both of the same ilk you and I, cut from the same cloth as some would say."

" You see I have Geass too Lelouch! And I can understand the pain and suffering one of "us" goes through."

"But the thing is Lelouch, you're standing in the way of my fair maiden and the love of my life… C.C."

"I guess I have to kill you now… But what's this? A magical war fought between six individuals to attain any wish granted?"

"Sounds like a bit of fun! But then I really have to kill you this time, not just for keeping me and my love C.C. apart, but to also obtain the Holy Grail. Splendid! Two reasons to horribly mutilate your body is better than one right? Right?"

"But then I'd have to summon one of those servant things?"

"That's right I've already done that isn't that right…"

"Caster"

"Oh Mao! You have such a noble agenda! I will happily eviscerate this "Lelouch" for the heathen holds both the women we devote our lives to hostage, your fair maiden C.C. and my holy virgin Jeanne D' Arc. That fiend! I will enjoy mounting his head upon my fireplace!"

"In due time, Caster. In due time we will have our "fun" with Lelouch Vi Britannia…."

A nightmare inducing smile entered the lips of the bat shit insane Mao as he uttered those words. In turn the equally crazed Caster responded with a fit of laughter, not the Ha, Ha type. The, I'm about to murder you and everybody you've ever loved type.


Pendragon Imperial Palace: 00:43, Throne room

"V.V. Are you sure that this Holy Grail War is true and that in this world of ours hides magic and Magus who wield such magics?"

"Charles, would your big brother ever lie to you?" answered V.V.

"In fact Charles, I am so sure that the grail and the war exists. That I would put the source of my information's life on the line as proof it exists."

"If it doesn't?" Pondered the Emperor.

"Then I'll just have to torture and kill him myself. Doesn't that sound fair, Lord Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald?"

Kayneth, was unable to respond to such an act let alone, protest. He was trapped in some sort of crude torture device, that kept his body paralysed from the neck down and his mouth rendered shut. The only thing one could hear were the muffled screams of anger seething from the once proud magus.

The one time he decides to leave the home and comfort of the Association/EU protected England to travel to the Holy Britannian Empire, he is kidnapped by some immortal demon who happens to know about the Grail war he was to participate in and is promptly tortured until he tells him every piece of information he knew. Now his life is on the line and there's nothing he can do about it. If a Servant is summoned then there's no use for him and he is killed, if it doesn't conjure a servant he is killed. A complete no-win situation for Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald.

"This is completely idiotic." Thought Charles Zi Britannia, "I mean how could something as banal as magic be real? Granted Geass is, in itself something hard to believe… No these are completely different circumstances. Summoning a heroic spirit of old to fight for you in a war to attain a wish of your choosing. How preposterous! Although the thought of this war and the grail being reality would be ideal as this would decrease the time needed to successfully kill God and rewrite the world… if only it were reality."

Charles continued to look at disinterest in his brother's ritual to summon a heroic spirit.

"Soon Charles, soon this world will end and a new one will be made from the ashes!" V.V. exclaimed.

"Get on with this already big brother, I grow weary of this…"

A blinding light interrupted Charles, V.V. began cheering like a madman, jumping and howling in his boots. Charles and Kayneth can only look away.

"It's here, it's here! Isn't this great Charl…."

Covered and protected by his younger brother the light was moments away from engulfing V.V in it's unholy light.

"Idiot! What the hell are you doing! You almost died!"

Unhanding himself from Charles, V.V. only smiled at Charles.

"Did you forget Charles? I'm immortal, I swear Charles you're still the same after all these yea…"

"A fellow immortal hmm? Only Gods and Kings like myself are allowed such an honor. So which one are you immortal? God, King or a mongrel who happened to get blessed by such an honor."

A blond haired, golden armored man walked straight out of the blinding light. He gave off an aura of superiority and arrogance. But then those things are expected when you are the first king in human existence, Gilgamesh.

Instead of V.V. answering Gilgamesh's challenge, Charles stood up and addressed the conceited king face to face.

"Gods? Kings? I and my brother are beyond such petty things."

Intrigued, Gilgamesh continued to dig.

"Oh, is that so? Then pray tell mongrel, what makes you superior to me…."

Charles interrupted before Gilgamesh could finish.

"Gilgamesh, I know who you are. The first King of humanity and God in his own right."

"So you know who I am? Then why do you continue to address your King and God in such disgusting ways?"

"Why? You ask? Because I am the rank of Emperor and outclass your measly rank of King. Furthermore Gilgamesh, you may be a divine being. But I plan on killing God and doesn't the act of killing a divine being, make you completely superior to any divinity? In fact it should be YOU Gilgamesh who should be bowing to me!"

Gilgamesh stood there, his face completely blank no emotion neither anger nor disgust just complete silence. He approached Charles but instead of any retribution on his part, he simply bowed his head, agonizingly low and his aura completely different.

"If there's one thing I could ask. Which one of you would like to suffer a fate worse than death itself a million times over, first?"
