Chapter 1 - The Cult Of The Demon
The three then board the flagship of Britannia, Lamperouge.
"This leads to Her Majesty's room, it also leads to the launch bay. Proceed there at once. We will have an important meeting. I'll follow once I send Her Majesty to her room."
"Yes, Zero"
Kallen then passes by Nunnally's room. She has always kept her room in the Lamperouge and in the Britannia palace very private. Kallen then saw why it was kept secret.
As Zero brings Nunnally to her room, She sees portraits of Lelouch, Suzaku, and Nunnally. The biggest portrait she saw was the portrait of Lelouch in his Ashford uniform
with Nunnally in the dinning table in their room in Ashford Student Council Building.
"You miss him too. Right, Kallen?"
"Uhm, Y-"
"Your Highness, Kallen has a task to do."
"Your right. Its nice to see you again, Kallen"
"Y...You too, Nunnally"
She then proceeds to the launch bay, remembering the times she had with Lelouch in Ashford. A time where Zero and Lelouch were two different people in her eyes. But still, she fell in love with him.
Kallen...you must live on.
His voice surrounds Kallen's mind as she enters the launch bay. The first thing she saw was her Knightmare, Guren S.E.T.E.I.N. Eight Elements, and then she saw him.
"Kallen!"
The voice she has not heard for a long time.
"Gino!"
"Kall-"
"Where were you? Its been two months! Where the hell did you go? Do you really intend to study in Ashford?"
"Kallen... Uhmm, I had some things to do back in the homeland abo-"
He's lying.
A terrible liar, if you ask me.
"Lloyd! Cecile!"
"Its been awhile, Kallen."
"How are you and Cecile doing?"
"Well, we were kind busy with some-"
"He proposed."
"What?"
"Yeah. I guess women..."
"Women?"
"Uhmm, I mean you..Cecile, aren't as insignificant as I thought, especially you."
"Oh. Stop it Lloyd!"
Everyone laughed as Cecile kept hitting Lloyd. Blushing and giggling, the two of them were like two people falling in love for the first time. For Lloyd perhaps.
"Oh Lelouch, I wish you could see this. The world you made for us."
Kallen blushes as she thought of Lelouch beside her, watching with her the happy things that have happened because of him.
Looks like everyone's as lively as ever.
Say cheese.
"Lord Jeremiah!"
"Anya!"
Gino didn't hesitate to embrace Anya. It has been two months after all.
"Tending a farm hasn't changed you one bit, Anya. Your so cute!"
"Careful,Gino. Your hugging her too tight."
"Its alright, Lord Orange. I miss him too."
"Orange?"
"A nickname given to me by the most honorable man I ever met."
Then they heard footsteps approaching them.
"Alright, that's enough."
"Zero."
"Now, let us begin the meeting."
They see a familiar man holding the hologram disc for the meeting beside Zero.
"Schneizel, open the com-link."
"Yes, My Lord."
They see a small town in the eastern part of Britannia. Houses burned, bodies laying everywhere. Blood spilled over the town. Not even the ocean
nearby was stained by blood and bodies float through them. Cecile grabs onto Lloyd as they see even
the corpses of children mutilated. Anya falls to her knees crying, its a scene she doesn't want to remember.
"Zero, what is this? Close the hologram! Anya can't take it."
"Gino! This is happening now."
"Why aren't our forces there to stop them?"
"They were."
Zero then ordered Schneizel to zoom-out the hologram. They see Britannian Sutherlands turned to piles of scrap as dark red particle beams fire upon them.
The beams came from a flying Knightmare. As it soars above the burned town, 15 black Sutherlands followed it. As it stops, the Sutherlands bow down to it.
"Impossible!"
"Its-"
"Gawain."
Kallen was almost lost for words. Is it possible?
"The machine was never salvaged in Kamine Island after the Black Rebellion. How was it possible? Or is-"
"Knightmare Frame scan complete. My Lord, it is definitly the Gawain you spoke of."
"Only one person configured with the controls of Gawain. Its systems were personalized. Don't tell me-"
"Kallen, I killed Lelouch! You saw me with your own eyes."
"Yes, I saw it. But Geass..."
"You saw what his Geass can do right? Do not conclude to an answer which is impossible. He's-"
At that moment, the pilots of the Black Sutherland came out. They stood in the shoulders of their Knightmares. They wore the uniforms of the old Britannian army of Lelouch.
when he ruled Britannia. They looked up to the Gawain, and kneel down before it.
Then an echo of their voices were heard in the hologram. The words they said filled everyone inside the launch bay with fear and shock.
Even Zero stood back as they shouted the words again.
"The deed is done...
All hail Lelouch!"
