Stage II: The Bird of Hermes is my name…..
(march 15, 2012)
(Imperial Bedchambers).
2:32 a.m.
"I am currently lying in my bed, to my left and right is Kallen and Shirley, C.C is right above my head, the bed is very big so we all have room…they are all sleeping after having sex, I should feel satisfied and happy…..but I am not" Lelouch thought to himself as he got up from the bed and went to a nearby drawer, in his head an old jazz song was playing, there were also some apples on the table, but Lelouch never ate them, something about the Forbidden Fruit or something like that to him.
Summertime and the livin' is easy.
"Currently I am the most powerful man alive, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Alaska to Antarctica my will is law, I have three beautiful women as my wife's, I have accomplished great deeds and I rule a wealthy and powerful kingdom….but this is not how it should be…" he said to himself as he looked over the drawers table to where a map of the world and some bottles of refreshment where placed.
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is HIGH
"The Holy Empire, as it's now called, since there are more minorities than Brittannian's in it now, I hated the Empire and originally I wanted to destroy it for murdering my mother and crippling my sister, truthfully I expected that after the reforms I made and the end of the war there would be secession movements from the Former Area's….but there aren't"
Oh your Daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin'
"….And I…..i have killed so many people, and committed so many sins that I should have been smitten by God now for them, so why is God so merciful to me?" Lelouch thought and truth be told he was miserable living such a blessed life since he himself felt he did not deserve it.
So hush little baby, don't you cry
Two pairs of arms then enveloped his torso and neck from behind.
"That must be Kallen and Shirley, quickly switch into my 'husband' face and with a great smile, fake smile but still great turn to great them" Lelouch thought to himself.
"What are you doing up from bed?" Shirley asked him
"I was thirsty so I went to get a drink, how did you know I wasn't in bed?" Lelouch replied, lying.
"Well the fact that we didn't feel your goatee against our cheeks helped" Kallen said teasingly as the two girls lead Lelouch back to bed where C.C was waiting.
One of these mornings
"Suddenly growing a beard is a philological action which means the respective person is unsatisfied with his life and is attempting to change it…."
You're goin' to rise up singing
YES, you'll spread your wings
And you'll take the sky
"My situation with these girls is like one of those porn hentais in which one guy and a bunch of girls become group sex friends, there is no competition…just pleasure….and I am unsatisfied with my life….. that says a lot about my state of mind"
He thought to himself as the four of them shared a four way kiss.
But till that morning
"The girls position themselves in their favorite positions, Shirley with Kallen above her against my pelvis and C.C stands above surrendering he womanhood to my wife…"
"The pervert subdued by the rapist with the witch towering over them…sounds more like a horror movie to me"
Lelouch thought to himself as he started pleasuring the girls.
There's a nothin' can harm you
"What makes it even sicker is that this is my father's old bed…horror. Movie indeed"
With daddy and mammy standin' by
Lelouch's caress with his arms and mouth quickly made their effects on the girls hearable as they started bashfully saying no, as Lelouch once against started pondering in his mind
NO!"
"People for my military exploits make me out the greatest leader that my country has ever seen, am I the greatest?"
NO!"
"My actions make me appear to one of the most benevolent if not the most benevolent king in history, so am I benevolent?"
NO!"
"I am not great, I am not benevolent, and I do not deserve this kind of life"
"YES!" the girls started saying there bashfulness now replaced with great pleasure, as Lelouch now stopped with the foreplay and started thrusting into Kallen and Shirley and pleasuring C.C with his mouth.
"The fact that I am responsible for the death of millions in the war is glorified, me a murderer is the inspiration or the next generation"
"YES!"
"Under the guise of reform I made moves which in the long term I hoped would destroy the empire, yet they called me a great statesman and revolutionary"
"YES!"
"Each one of these girls I do not love, them, yet they show me undying love and passion"
"YES!"
"This isn't where I should be, I should be rotting in some ditch, not here!"
"YES!"
"YES!"
"YES!"
The girls said as they all climaxed and now spread down on the bed engulfed Lelouch in their hugs as they fell back asleep.
Lelouch just stood there, his face now returned to a scowl as he just stared at the sealing, he wondered why God gave him no punishment.
Why did he give him such wealth such, power and such women if he was unworthy.
Why he didn't even enjoy all any of them….and then it hit him…..this was God's punishment, for someone like him who feels he should not be alive, to live such a life, who feels he doesn't deserve happiness, should be surrounded by it….
…..To the outsider it seemed like Lelouch was living in paradise.
"More like purgatory if you ask me….still if the part of a happy man I must play than I will play it….what's one more deception to me anyway"
(Japan, Tokyo)
Kuribayashi was now stationed in Tokyo and for one night he decided to relax and he went to a small bar fro soldiers, after he entered and sat he looked and saw that a great number of patrons where Brittannian's.
A few got up and walked towards him, he thought they wanted trouble so he prepared for the worst.
"Excuse me, are you part of the 42nd?" one of them asked him.
It was just then that it hit Kuribayashi that he was still in his military uniform and he was wearing a special armed band which designated him as one of the originals 42nd;s, one of the original Black Knights.
"Why yes I am, as a matter of fact I am a general, would you like to hear some war stories?" Kuribayashi replied.
The other didn't answer with their words but nodded enthusiastically and as Kuribayashi started one story the rest of the bar gathered around to hear it.
"Things sure have changed since three years ago" he said to himself as he continued the story.
(West Point Academy, Dean's office)
Odysseus had just finished some paperwork and stood up from his desk to stretch his legs, after the end of the war and Lelouch's wedding he wasn't sure what to do with himself, since soldiers weren't needed in times of peace.
Lelouch came up to him and asked him to become the new dean of West Point, he was hesitant at first, but after Lelouch's said to him that his genius use of artillery should be thought to the next generation he couldn't refuse and truth be told he rather liked his new job.
He opened a drawer and there was his artillery commander insignia and stars, he once or twice a day looked at it, he was satisfied with his live, he loved the fact that the war was over, but still….once a soldier always a soldier and like any other soldier which survived the war he felt out of place here into this time of peace.
(Imperial temporary HQ, Cornelia's room)
"Here are the maps you requested your highness" Guilford said to Cornelia as she was reviewing other maps on the table.
"Thank you" she told him.
"Begging you pardon my lady, but with the war over and the Empire is now part of the U.F.N there really isn't any need for war plans, so why are you laboring so much?" Guilford asked Cornelia.
"Just because the battles are over does not mean that there will not be conflicts in the future, ten, twenty or perhaps a hundred or more years for now there will be new wars, our country did not transform from 13 colonies on the fringe of civilization to the dominant power of the Planet by being …unprepared…." Cornelia replied and returned to her plan making.
(Knights Lounge, Tokyo settlement).
"So you decided to not have your wedding with the kings so you could keep an eye on him?" Omar asked Jeremiah.
"Yes, Sayoko and myself will have our wedding in two months from today" Jeremiah replied, he, Suzaku, Euphie, Nunnally, Omar, Viletta, George where playing cards.
"Still this new form of government concerns me."George added.
"What do you mean?" Nunnally asked.
"There has been a great deal of decentralization of power from the position of Emperor, while in principle I can agree that no man should have too much power, this new government which has democracy infused in it risks that the Empire will fall prey to endless bureaucracy and red tape like what happened to the E.U, or worse fall to great corruption and mismanagement like the Former Federation, both started as a pure democracy and both are now gone" George answered.
"Corruption is not necessarily privy to democracy, our own state was greatly corrupt as well, but since we worked close to his majesty Lelouch we were not subjected to corruption since he cleaned it up" Viletta answered.
"Still it was a surprising move by Lelouch to give away so much power!" Omar added.
"His majesty probably wanted to in addition of linearization of government to relieve the burden of his own work load, when I remember that Emperor Charles when he ascended to the throne he still had color in is hair, a month after that his hair became all white" Jeremiah replied.
"That and Lelouch is afraid" Suzaku added.
""Afraid of what honey?" Euphie asked him.
"Afraid that he will be corrupted and…will become changed if he has too much power to himself" Suzaku added and everyone at the table knew that he was implying.
"It's half past five, we should be going now honey" Euphie said as she and Suzaku got up from the table.
"You sure you want to do this?" Suzaku asked still trying to dissuade Euphie from her plan.
"Suzaku, I know your just trying to protect me but I want to do this!" she replied cheerfully and they left.
"Think she will be just as cheerful afterwards?" Omar asked George.
"Who knows, I am a military man, not a psychologist." George replied.
(Cairo , Islamic faction, anti Imperial meeting room)
"These foreigners come here to this land, they take our army and our wealth from us and what do they give us in return?" the manager of the meeting told those assembled.
"The Phoenix Fund" one man hesitantly replied.
"The What?" the leader asked.
"The Phoenix Fund" the man repeated.
"All right fair's fair the Phoenix Fund is one good thing the Empire gave us, but….."
"And the aqueduct…" a second man added.
"Oh yes the aqueduct! You remember how it was before, the fresh water cost more than the gas!" The leaders assistant told him.
"All right, but apart from the Phoenix Fund and the aqueduct, what has the Empire ever done for us!" the leader added.
"Irrigation,"
"Medicine"
"Free education"
"Abolishment of mandatory military service"
"And the highways!"
"Well obviously the highways the go without saying! But apart from the Phoenix Fund, the aqueduct, irrigation, medicine , free education, abolishment of mandatory service and highways what has the Empire really done for us!" the leader added.
"Brought peace to the Middle East?" one man added.
"BROUGHT PEACE!SHUT UP!" the leader said and he ended the meeting seeing it was going nowhere, he then went into his office.
"They just don't seem to have the will to fight the Empire now, and can you blame them?" the servant of the Titans told him.
"Who are you! And how did you get in here?" The leader asked him, pointing a gun at him the servant was wearing a white suite and his face was covered by a smiling face.
"Someone who has enough power and resources to come in here undetected , someone who can give you the means to strike and the Empire, someone who can bring Allah's holy fire to purge this land of none believers and make it pure once again, you can listen to my proposal or you can shoot me, what is your answer?" the servant asked him.
"Who are you?" the leader said as he lowered his gun.
"For now just call me the Merovingian" he replied.
(Coast of Florida, joint research facility)
Laksharta, Lloyd and Cecile where all testing a new model of submersible knightmares to be used for deep seas exploration and possible commercial use.
Just then the submarine prototype was transmitting something odd.
"Central command this is Ranger one, I am picking up some strange particle reading in front of me, request permission to use the Gefjun scanner on them".
"Permission granted" Laksharta replied.
The pilot the activated his scanner and after a few minutes, something began to happen.
"Base this is Ranger one, you're not gone believe this but the Ocean Floor is rising! I'm detecting 400.00 square miles, 600, 900, 5 million square miles of Ocean Floor are now rising to the surface!"
*Whack* !Cecile's hand hit the back of Lloyd's head.
"What was that for Cecile? Laksharta is the one who authorized the scan!" Lloyd replied as he rubbed his head.
"But you where the one who choose this place as our test side!" Cecile said to him.
"How was I supposed to know that the Ocean Floor would rise up, this is more scary than when Stephanie Myer said she would publish a fifth Twilight book!" Lloyd said as he watched the scanners into what was happening.
"I knew we shouldn't have chosen the Bermuda Triangle as our test site" Laksharta replied as she blew a puff of smoke.
