Author's Note: Okay… well, it got more complicated than I thought, not to mention the stupid coincidental inclusion of Zero's costume in there. Whatever. Here we go.

Ch 2

"Lulu! It's me! Shirley Fenette!" Shirley cried as she ran towards Lelouch (Zero) amidst a crowd of students with different uniforms that had "SSS" on it.

"Sh-Shirley…" Zero stuttered.

"What is this?" a purpled haired SSS member exclaimed, "Is he another Angel or something? How the heck did he get so many of us in one swoop?"

"Calm down." The leader, a purple haired girl beckoned. "Shirley, do you know him?"

Shirley stopped crying and tried to put on a happy face. "Everyone," she said, "This is Lelouch Lamperouge. I knew him when I was alive."

The SSS members gasped at the fact that a human had sided with tenshi, as they knew Kanade.

Suddenly, the music stopped.

"We need to leave!" the SSS members said. They dispersed in different directions, Shirley with them. However, she gave Lelouch a sad look before she left.

Somebody tell me what's going on. Lelouch thought.

He turned to return to his dormitory, but Kanade beckoned for him to wait a moment.

"Thank you for helping me." She said quietly.

"Uh… don't worry about it." Lelouch said as he left.

The Next Day

When Lelouch got up and left for "school", he was still going over yesterday's events. However, all that disappeared when he opened his locker. In it was a note with the words "SSS" stamped on it.

"Meet at the Principle's Office after school." The note read. Lelouch sighed. He folded the note into his pocket as he left, preparing for a day of sleeping in class. A few rooftops away, Yusa (the blond haired girl who always watched the battlefield) of the SSS was watching him.

"The target has found the note." She reported into her ear mike.

After school

The Principal's office

"What business do you have with me, calling me out to this place?" Lelouch said, surveying the room. Contrary to his expectations, the principal was not in attendance at this little gathering. Instead, he found a purple haired girl with a white beret, a blue haired guy, an orange haired guy and… Shirley.

"I'll cut to the chase." The purple haired girl said, standing up. 'You are-"

"I am dead." Lelouch cut her off, earning them a surprise. "I am here in this world to get rid of my regrets before I am reincarnated into whatever animal. You guys want to prevent that from happening, and resist "Tenshi" to stay in this world and avoid reincarnation in case you become a caterpillar or the sort. Am I wrong?" Lelouch said with a smirk.

"That… that's right." The orange haired guy replied.

"And so," the purple haired girl got up from the principle's desk, "I was wondering if you would join us. Now that you seem to know our side of the story… My name is Yuri, by the way." She said, offering her hand.

Lelouch did not shake her hand. "You people plan to keep resisting "Tenshi" to stay in this world?" he asked seriously.

"Is there a problem with that?" Yuri asked. The SSS members began to draw weapons.

"Lulu…" Shirley whispered, obviously frightened.

"Have any of you ever thought about it; this world is not meant to be stayed in! You are not meant to be here! You are almost literally trespassing on holy territory!" Lelouch exclaimed.

"So you are letting god choose your next life? Who knows what you'll become! You might be a worm, or a bug, or…"

"I'm prepared for it." Lelouch said. By now, the SSS members had their weapons pointed at him.

"If you go with Tenshi and go to school normally, even for a moment, then you'll disappear!" Yuri exclaimed.

"I can live in this world long enough to satisfy my regrets. The fact I am still here proves that." Lelouch answered. "Besides, I'm surprised that you still invited me after last night." He said with a smirk.

"That was you, wasn't it…" Yuri said. "We also decided, in the event you would not join us, then we would have revenge!" she said, as the 3 SSS members all pointed their weapons at him while Shirley watched in horror.

Lelouch couldn't help but laugh, seeing they still thought of him as a regular threat. Chuckling, he removed his left contact lens.

"Wh.. what are you doing?" The orange haired boy asked nervously, pointing his pistol at Lelouch.

"Lelouch Vi Britannia orders you;" Lelouch announced dramatically as the Geass made contact with the three SSS members, "Hand me your weapons!"

There was a moment of silence, then a round of "Yes master" as Lelouch acquired a Glock 17, Beretta 92 and another gun he could not name.

It was then that the members woke up, freed from the influence of Geass.

'What-" the blue haired boy managed to ask before he and the others noticed that Lelouch had their own weapons pointed at them.

"And with that," Lelouch said as he backed out of the room pointing his new weapons at them, "I bid you farewell."

"Who does he think he is!" Yuri exclaimed a few moments later (after Lelouch had left), "If he stays like this then he'll disappear!"

"Shirley," Hinata asked her, "You knew him, right? When he was alive, what kind of person was he?"

"Well," she said hesitantly, "He was always kind, and he was just like anyone else although he slept in class, and he was somewhat mysterious, but…"

"But…?" Otonashi asked.

"…he was the kind of person who would change the world without trying. He would work hard to stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves, and so he made an alter ego known as "Zero" and took command of an army to help him stand up for justice…"

And on and on she went, amazing the SSS with information that can also be obtained simply by watching the 2 seasons of Code Geass.

"Hey, Tachibana-san," Lelouch asked after a student council meeting (He had become a student council member), "Why do the SSS keep fighting?"

"I just want to help them pass on." She said simply.

"Then," Lelouch said, "Why don't you go and explain?" he asked.

"I tried, but they keep fighting me before I get a chance." She answered simply. Lelouch sighed. He could make them cooperate with the Geass, but that wouldn't feel right.

"Tachibana-san," Lelouch asked, "You're not god or anything, right? You are just a normal student like the rest of us."

"They think that I am "tenshi" because they have quite the imagination." She answered simply.

"huh." Lelouch replied, closing his eyes dramatically.

Then, Tachibana got up to leave.

"Where are you going?" Lelouch asked out of curiosity.

" I found where they make their weapons. I am going to tell them to stop." She said simply.

"Would you like 'Zero' 's help?" he asked.

"No thank you," she said as she left.

End of ch 2

Augh.. I think I messed this up. I was planning to have Zero fight with Tachibana in Guild, but I decided that won't do. Also, by the time ch 3 rolls, out, consider it around ep 3 of angel beats.

Preview:

Lelouch: "It… can't be…"

Shirly: "Lulu! Please stop!"

Noda: "I'll be your opponent!"

Unknown (for now): "It's been a while… Lelouch."

Zero: "Lelouch Vi Britannia commands you!"

(these voices are in no relation to each other and are meant to mimic the Angel Beats style next episode preview.)
