Hey there my dear reader's so this is the first chapter of Code Geass Season 3 and as I said in the trailer this fanfic is not fully made by me I just make some little comments and this is done with the help of crystal-chan and selene-chan (she wrote this chapter). So please R&R please!!!!
Level 1: Prologue
The year was 2018 (a.t.b.). The 99th emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire – tyrannical dictator Lelouch vi Britannia was killed in ambush by the masked hero - Zero, amidst the public death march leading to the execution of the world's political and military leaders supporting the United Federation of Nations. Peace was restored, and the dreaded F.L.E.I.J.A. battles were put to end. Balance among the three superpowers: the European Union, the Chinese Federation and the Britannian Republic (formerly Britannian Empire) was restored. The existence of a new rising superpower - the United States of Japan, was recognized. The superpowers and independent nations were unified by the protocol of sending ambassadors and submitting military forces to the umbrella party established and governed by Zero – the UFN, with the Black Knights as the international peacekeeping force.
But after 28 years, the world suffers great economic depression, mainly caused by shortage in energy supply coming from Sakuradite mine. Japan easily takes control of the economy as the main world supplier of Sakuradite. However, the rest of the world, feeling suppressed, seeks solution from a cult disguised as a circle of scientists from premier institutes of the European Union and the Britannian Republic – the Geass Order.
This is a battle that must be fought in silence, a game that I could only end by winning. As the world faces the future, I must erase the traces of filth from the past. Peace in a world that I have destroyed and created must be kept, for the feared dictator can only die once.

"Target at Station12, waiting for station to be cleared", a phone patch voice said.
***
"Today, Tokyo City welcomes the arrival of the much sought-after Britannian-Japanese pianist, 16-year old Ms. Crystal Weinberg." The familiar voice of a female TV reporter is heard, with the screen flashing stills and videos of the young, rose-haired and amethyst-eyed musical prodigy. "She is the younger daughter of the anti-dictator revolution's heroic couple, Sir Gino Weinberg, now a software and electronics company owner and former Britannian Knight of Three, and Kallen Kouzuki – Weinberg, a founding member of the Black Knights."
"Wow, she's really coming from a fierce family, and spent the whole time with her parents in Britannia. Japan awaits her first live performance in her mother's homeland. But I've heard that her mother has lied low from the military since marriage. Milly, you said a while ago that you and Mrs. Weinberg were former classmates in Ashford Academy?"
"Yes," Milly, in her fifties, replied with a still charming voice. "We were even council members. Funny thing is, she always pretended to be sickly to excuse herself from absences when all the while she was fighting battles as BK's ace pilot. Now I've heard that Crystal would also be attending Ashford to complete her high school degree."
***
"Target now at Station 15."
"Hang in there, Jeremiah", commanded the lad with glaring pair of glasses which covers his amethyst eyes and long dark messy hair that has been tied but reaches to his eyes.
"Lelouch-Kun!" said a girl with dark hair with amethyst eyes holding up a chessboard on her hands.
"Again? You really never grew tired of playing it do you?" Lelouch replied.
"Oh come on you love playing chess especially when I'm your opponent. Orange-kun can wait; robots don't grow old, do they? I can promise you that this will be the last time we'll ever play. I can play all I want when my sister comes."And she gave him a knowing smirk.
"I used to love playing chess with you until you would constantly insist that I play with you almost every hour." As he said this a chuckle escaped his lips. "And Selene, you wish to play in the middle of this?"
***
"And she has a sister, right?" asked the male newscaster to Milly.
"Yes, her name is Selene. She is graduating from Ashford this year and her mom said that she's pursuing an engineering degree either in Zurich or Berlin."
"And be a member of the Geass Order?"
"Yes" Milly paused and thought awhile. "Perhaps but I don't know."
"It's good if we get to talk to her someday, to know if she's one of Japan's ways of helping out global economy."
"Yes, but I doubt…Let's just say that she's all too different from Ms. Crystal to make public appearances..." said Milly in her Mona Lisa smile.
***
"In Ashford, why not?" Selene teased. "And by the way, welcome to the new student council office. Loved how we reinvented the place? We infused a bit of history since Ashford people played really cool roles during the rebellion."
Lelouch looked around the place and saw photos of some familiar faces.
"There's the F.L.E.I.J.A. and anti-F.L.E.I.J.A. inventor, Miss Anya, Ambassador Nunally and of course, Mom and Dad. Sorry I can't insist on placing your…"
"Of course not, history hates me." He said, slowly laying his fingers on Nunally's portrait.
Selene noticed and said in a gentler tone, "Why don't you show yourself to her?"
"No." Lelouch's loud and quick reply. "I die only once, hurt only once." There was a brief moment of silence.
"Never mind that. I thought you want to play chess?" Lelouch asked in a fresh energetic tone.
"You really can't turn me down can you?"
"Of course I can't. How can I ever upset you?" Then, he smiled.
***
"Selene is here, right?" Crystal asked the tall, blue-haired and emerald-eyed student who has been assisting her. His name is Frederik, the student council President.
"My staff made sure that all students are here, so there."
Among a bunch of students nearby, a blue-eyed student in her neat ponytailed peach hair was speaking to someone beside her.
"Selene, I have a feeling that you'll be a star just a few minutes from now." She turned to Selene, and she replied with a smile.
"Georgina, did I just hear you speak to the trashcan?" a silver-haired, amethyst-eyed classmate beside her asked.
Georgina turned to Selene again and was surprised to see a trashcan this time instead. "I-I did? But Rai, where's Selene?"
The guy paused in suspicion, and then reverted to a childish tone. "Oh, maybe she left to get some snack, or maybe she's playing hide and seek. I better go now and find her." He rushed indoors to look for Selene.
Georgina was left wondering. "Where can she be?"
"There's got to be one place she's hiding. I will find out what that girl is really up to." Rai whispered while running.
***
"No, this game's over. I don't stand a chance anymore." Selene quits.
"That's good assessment. You know, can't win over me without your queen. Is this the fourth time you've lost your queen to me early on? I'm relying on your memory now…"
"Third! Photographic memory doesn't really cover that." She denied. "But sure I will remember how ridiculous you look in that disguise of yours. You, Lelouch, you've never lost your queen in a game?" Selene asked with a sly smile.
He was silent.
"Come on, I want an answer. Have you never lost someone you called Q1?"
"Who told you about that?" He said grinningly, showing that her teasing was working.
"I did. By the way Selene, someone's coming to fetch you." A lady with long, green hair and crimson eyes answered.
"Target now at Station 21." Voice from phone patch remarked.
***
"Wow, just see how Crystal shines like a true gem." Milly said." Now let us listen to her message to the Ashford student body as she receives welcome and special recognition for winning first prize in the recently-held World Music Challenge in Paris, where she represented the USJ, instead of the Britannian Republic."
"Music binds us together." The live feed showed Crystal on the platform set before hundreds of Ashford students in their uniforms. She was wearing an aquamarine dress with thick straps of haltered neckline, pea-sized diamond earrings and a silver chained necklace with a diamond pendant. "I understand that Ashford is a place for young Japanese and Non-Japanese alike, to acquire the best education and enjoy the days of their youth as well. This is why I insisted to spend the rest of my high school days here – all for the sake of unity and togetherness. For so long, I have been away from my big sister, but I never thought that my winning the competition would bring us together, again. She has been with you, but I would like to show her to the world this time.
Ladies and gentlemen, my biggest fan and yet my greatest idol, my best friend, my sister – Selene-Neecham."
***
Rai breaks into the student council's office and finds fellow council member inside.
"Good day Rai-Sempai, how may I help you?" said the dark-haired girl with amethyst eyes.
"I need answers Ammabel." Rai's left iris turns crimson as it projects a glowing, fowl-shaped symbol.
***
Selene steps up the stage in her Ashford uniform. With all people staring at her, the same symbol appears from her left eye, and projects a sphere that covers the entire stage. Selene grabs Crystal down the stage.
***
"Oh, we've lost contact?" Milly exclaimed as the live feed was cut.
***
"Thank you ladies and gentlemen, and I hope I can find new friends among you soon." The crowd applauds.
Rai, watching from a distance, stares at Selene who stands beside her sister. "I was wrong."
