A/N: Here is the second chapter. First thanks to Slices and nanoman79 for the reviews/comments. Another thanks to those who read it and added story favs and story alerts for this. Currently working on my outlines for The Three Swords of the Black Prince and my Tales of the Abyss fanfic: Band of Swords. I'll get those updated as soon as I can.
Disclaimer: I do not own Code Geass in any way. I just own Lelouch's abductor in this fanfic.
Chapter 2
Lelouch regained conscious and saw that he was on a large platform and the only other thing he saw was blue sky. Lelouch felt very nervous about his surroundings. He tried to analyze the situation before someone appeared before him. It was the same man who took him away from Rolo and the Shinkiro.
"Glad to see you're awake Zero…no, Lelouch Lamperouge. Or would you prefer Lelouch vi Britannia." The man in black commented.
"Who the hell are you?" Lelouch asked in a saddened tone, "What do want from me?"
Lelouch looked around and asked, "Where am I?"
The man in black approach Lelouch closer with a smile on his face.
The man in black was an average built young man. He stood about 6 feet tall. He had blue spiky hair and green eyes. He carried a scythe with him.
"I'm a man who would like to be your ally in your plan of revenge against your ogre of a father, Charles zi Britannia.
Lelouch scoffed at that answer, "Forget it. I've already lost everything and everyone important to me. I'm not looking for an ally."
The man in black sat down next to Lelouch with his legs crossed, "Then what now? Are you just going to let things end just like that? Do you intend to let Suzaku Kururugi and your brother Schneizel get away with the humiliation they inflicted on you? Do you intend to let the Black Knights get away with turning on you like that?"
"IT DOESN"T MATTER!" Lelouch said as loud as he could. Lelouch paused then continued, "It's my own fault because I was arrogant and naïve. Just leave me be. Just get me out of here so that I can die."
"What if I was to tell you that your sister, Nunnally is alive and well along with your ninja maid, Sayoko?"
"That's not funny, don't even joke about it you bastard!" Lelouch got up and was ready to pounce on his abductor.
Just then, the man in black raised his right hand, revealing his code on his palm.
Lelouch was surprised and stopped, "You're a code bearer?"
The code on his right palm turned gold and it caused Lelouch to be paralyzed.
"You need to calm down boy," The man in black berated.
Lelouch fell on the platform floor, cursing the man in black.
"I'll let you go, if you promise to calm down and hear me out. I assure you, what I just said to you is no lie. Your precious little sister is alive. In fact, I can prove it."
Lelouch couldn't believe what he was hearing. His sister Nunnally who was thought to have died in the F.L.E.I.A. blast was actually alive. The look Lelouch saw in the man in black's face seemed sincere. He wondered could he really be trusted. Why go out of his way for him?
"I still have my doubts," Lelouch answered, "but I'll listen."
"Fair enough," the man in black responded and released his hold on Lelouch. They both stand up.
"Listen, if we're going to bring down the emperor, we shouldn't dawdle," Lelouch said.
"Don't worry," The man in black assured him, "Thanks to this dimension, we have plenty of time."
"This dimension? What do you mean?" Lelouch asked in confusion.
"This dimension doesn't follow the time in where we were. In fact, while we are here, the time going on over there goes very slow." The man in black answered, "In other words, we could be here for three hours here and it would only be three minutes in over there."
"That's impossible. It's illogical. It's unnatural," Lelouch replied.
The man in black sighed, "This coming from the Britannian prince that has the power to bend people to their will. C'mon Lelouch, with all that you've have seen, should you really be surprised?"
Lelouch chuckled at his statement, "I suppose I shouldn't. So will you tell me what I need to know?"
"Sure," the man in black answered, "let me introduce myself, my name is Jinta Kuromaki. As you saw on my right hand, I'm a code bearer, although I'm different from others like C.C., and your father, Charles. As you saw, I can change the color of my code to do other things."
"I see," Lelouch said intrigued.
Jinta continued, "This dimension is the one I created to give me space and to watch the events from the real world." As he said, he code turned blue and visions of the current events were showing. Lelouch was seeing events of the Rolo looking frantically for him. He was seeing the key members of the Black Knights discussing things with Schneizel, Kanon, and Cornelia. Lelouch also saw the image of Suzaku at the crater of the F.L.E.I.A.'s destruction as well as Nina sinking to depression. Lelouch felt so much hatred towards Suzaku at the moment and had no sympathy for him. He saw another image but this was of Nunnally with Sayoko in a private jet heading to a direction.
"Nunnally," Lelouch said in surprise.
"I told you I had proof," Jinta said, "I witnessed the second battle of the Tokyo Settlement. I'm guessing that Schneizel set up a fake transport ship to make you think Nunnally was there so that in case you were going to be a threat to his plan, that he would use Nunnally."
"Schneizel," Lelouch spoke of his older brother's name with such distain. He couldn't believe that Schneizel was going to use Nunnally just like his father would have if he had learned that he had regained his memory as Zero. It seemed to Lelouch that every time he turned around, someone was going to use his precious sister against him. If not the Britannian emperor, then Suzaku. If not him, then Schneizel. Lelouch really wished they leave his innocent sister alone.
Jinta turned off the images with his code turning back to its original color, "So Lelouch, want to go pick her up?
Lelouch turned his head in surprise, "Pick up Nunnally?"
Jinta smiled, "Yes, after all it has been one of your goal to reunite with your little sister, right? In my opinion, you have the right to be by her side. I'm sure she would be happy to be with you as well."
Lelouch was overjoyed with Jinta's words. Not too long ago, Lelouch was ready to die when he thought that he had nothing left to live for. He had thought that Nunnally had perished in the blast because his own bad judgment. But he saw her, alive and well.
"When we pick up Nunnally and your ninja maid, we'll return here. I'll give you more of a detailed explanation about my abilities and this dimension as well as to tell you what Charles is planning," Jinta explained.
"Can you really help me defeat my father?" Lelouch asked in a serious tone.
"Yes," Jinta replied in the same serious tone, "also I believe that Nunnally needs to know about all this."
Lelouch was shocked to hear that. He didn't want Nunnally involve in what they would have to do. Lelouch was about to argue against it but Jinta stopped him.
"Look, your sister has a right to be a part of this. I know you don't want her involve but this has everything to do with her as it does to you. It would be good for both of you to know who killed your mother, why he didn't do much about it, and why he sent you two to Japan."
"You know about my mother's death?" Lelouch asked.
Jinta pulled out a remote control from his jacket and pressed the button. It summoned the black knightmare that carried Lelouch away.
"We should go," Jinta remarked.
"Very well," Lelouch replied.
Lelouch vi Britannia, who was known as the masked rebel, Zero, had giving up hope after the Second Battle of Tokyo when he thought Nunnally was lost to him. He even went as far as putting himself in a position to get himself killed. But now the man before him, Jinta Kuromaki, had changed his mind about that. Not only did he showed that Nunnally was alive, but he was willing to help him defeat his father and he knew about the circumstances of his mother's death. Lelouch had more questions and Jinta seemed to be willing to answer his questions. It looked like things were going to right direction even though the idea of involving Nunnally didn't sit well with him. For now though, Lelouch was willing to discuss this after he got his sister back.
That's it for now, expect Chapter Three sometime next week.
