Chapter 2: An Apathetic Prince

'Okay, this just got to stop!' were Lelouch's first thought upon finding himself in this situation again and again. This really has to stop or he'll go crazy. It was fine the first and second time around but this, the seventh time around is getting ridiculous! This is to put it simply is pure torture! He really can't wait for this never ending cycle. Even the afterlife or better yet hell seems to be a better option than this! He would do anything and he really meant anything just for the sweet release of death to happen. Really, is this his punishment for becoming a demon emperor the first time around?

Before he could continue his internal monologue on how unfair life is treating him, he heard someone talking and remembered his situation. Of course, he could just ignore the guy talking but that would mean getting shot and dying which would lead him in waking up in the same place as before he was shot to death and that would really be a waste of time. Besides, he already did that before and look where it lead him: waking up with CC "dead" on his feet and a dozen or so Britannian soldiers pointing their guns at him.

He may be some-kind of an immortal but dying by a gunshot wound hurts like hell and he would rather it not happen anytime soon thank you very much.

So without further ado as the saying goes, he used his geass and told them to sod off and leave him the hell alone. Which was continued by his disappearing act before the lovely Miss Villeta Nu decides to stick her nose where it doesn't belong and ruin his newly formed plan for this time around and that is to hell with this world. The world could even go into flames for all he care, he just doesn't really give a damn anymore. He would rather be known as Lelouch Lamperouge who is a devoted brother to his darling, sweet, innocent Nunnally and nothing else.

Before he left, he looked back at the warehouse looking for anything that he might leave behind when his eyes found CC.

'Should I bring her with me?' Lelouch thought but an immediate no was his mind's reply. CC would only be a liability especially with every Britannian soldier looking for her and with him wanting to leave as soon as possible without alerting anyone and besides, she could take care of herself.

While sneaking off towards the way out without letting anyone notice him, which for the record is pretty easy for he already did this more than once, Lelouch couldn't help but make a mental checklist on what he should do to alleviate his boredom. True , he would be the i-don't-care person but he really can't be doing everything the same thing over and over again. He needs to do something different or he might found himself dying from boredom again.

Okay so for the first life, he became the demon emperor and died regretting many things but well that's life and he moved on when the second chance happens to his utter delight. He really couldn't believe that he would be given a second chance to correct his mistakes and correct them he did. He became the great emperor that brought unity and peace. He was even hailed by the numbers for eradicating the number system. Unfortunately though, there were people who wanted him dead and on his forty something year old, he was assassinated.

After that, Lelouch thought that the afterlife would be the one welcoming him when he opened his eyes but he found himself again in Shinjuku ghetto when he accepted his geass. Thinking that he was again given a chance, he decided to do everything in his power to end the war as soon as possible because what he regreted the most in the other two lifetimes was not having the time with Nunnally. After escaping the ghetto, Lelouch hitched a ride for free of course, courtesy of his geass, to the island where the C's world is. Once there, he used his geass to the collective conscious of everyone to not listen to his father's and mother's wish. An unfortunate consequence he didn't foresee though was for his father to suddenly lose any hold he has with the Britannian Empire. It was interesting to note though that it lead to a civil war where in the end the Japanese, which was lead by him, won the control of Britannia; thus becoming the emperor of the world again far earlier than planned. Unfortunately for Lelouch, due to his carelessness, he forgot that his mother in the body of Anya was still alive and kicking, decided to investigate the reason for their failure. Once she found out it was Lelouch, she took upon herself to extract revenge, thus the life of Lelouch in that world ended prematurely again.

When he opened his eyes again, Lelouch found himself in the same scene where he accepted his geass again. He really couldn't understand how this could be happening again. Somehow bored of doing the same thing all over again and again, Lelouch decided to let himself be known as Lelouch vi Britannia to get close to the geass order to find the reason why this is happening to him. After all, maybe this is one of the side effects of using geass without attaining the code was one of his hypothesis. But before, he did just that, he hid Nunnally in a safe house courtesy of the Ashfords and used his geass to everyone in the vicinity of the Ashford academy to forget Nunnally except those few he trust. Funny though, he died in a battle defending Britannia for the record, which to be honest was total bull. He was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. In fact, he was only there because one of his contacts told him that there is something "mystical" in that area. That mystical something was someone using their geass to hide the rebel town. Recognizing him as a prince of Britannia, they decide to kill him. Unfortunately, we are talking about Lelouch here. He doesn't want anyone minding his business nor anyone to know the reason why he is there in the first place, plus he needed to defend himself thus the total annihilation of the rebel town began. He died when he tripped and hit his head on the floor, totally anticlimactic. The Britannian soldiers found the rebel town a few hours later. There they found everyone dead and Lelouch's empty knightmare frame, thus concluding that their prince died for the Britannian empire.

The next time he opened his eyes, he found himself again where he always find himself upon waking up after 'dying'. He decided there and then to travel the world to find the cure to what is happening to him. The geass order was completely useless in that endeavour so he decided to look for answers by himself. Before he left, he decided to tell Nunnally that he wanted to travel around the world. He of course made sure that Nunnally would be taken well by the Ashfords via his geass for he could never take any chances in Nunnally's well being. He also made sure to remind Nunnally that he may not be with her physically but he will always be a phone call away. Funny thing is his sister looked to him with great joy when he told her of his plans for her brother decided to live his own life. In fact, she even told him to not visit her until he at least he went to five different places. She only wanted for Lelouch to be happy after giving up his childhood taking care of her. And that was what Lelouch did and he found himself enjoying life and not thinking about revenge or war for the first time. He was happy in learning different cultures but that happiness faded once he found himself living quite monotonously. He couldn't find in any written documents and books about geass or the power of the kings. And every failure, he becomes withdrawn for maybe this would be his life for eternity: dying and waking up to that same scene over and over again. One day, while walking around, he noticed that this life would be bearable if only he has a companion that can understand his loneliness. If only there was someone to live with in this situation for he noticed that he is simply a bystander and was really bored and lonely. He died by killing himself.

When he woke up, he found himself again in Shinjuku ghetto. He didn't even bother defending himself. He died by the hands of the Britannian soldiers.

The next time he woke up was the time he decided to hell with this world. He is simply tired, bored and lonely, not a good combination for someone like Lelouch.
