Well here it is, the second chapter of this story of mine, as I said in the first one, this takes place ten years later and of course I'll recap just what went down in those seven years so we all know what they have been up to. I know that this should be obvious but due to their training and the fact that Britannia does not have a pilot in Area 11 beside Jeramiah that can even move the Lancelot means that it will be used quite differently than in cannon.
Chapter 2: The more things Change…

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
The alarm sounded, breaking the quiet of the early morning here in the red planet r more specifically, the silence of a bedroom with closed blinds. It went on for another few moments before a small petite hand emerged from the covers of the bed next to the nightstand with the guilty culprit. It felt around for the alarm clock for a couple of seconds before it successfully found it and hit the stop button. Afterwards the blankets moved around a bit before something rose under it. A moment later a head pop out, revealing that the now awake person just had wrapped themselves in the blanket. The head was one of fair skinned young girl with brown hair with a strand of it covering her left eye, leaving only a right eye to be seen.
Her open right eye.
Nunnally yawned to get the sleep out of her system, before she looked around her room. It wasn't anything special. It had a double bed, nightstand, drawer for her cloths, desk and holo-projector for when she studied and some posters of animals on the walls along with a set of drums and a keyboard in the corner of the room. There was also a small flat screen on the wall that was left on, she had a PS3 plugged in and a Guitar Hero guitar-controller lazily left in front of it. The screen still paused mid song, she kept the blinds shut till she was fully awake. 'Another day as they say' Nunnally thought to herself as she got out of bed and stood up, revealing more of her aged body.
She was tall for her age, just like her brother, standing at a height of 164cm/ 5.3 feet tall. She had let her hair grow out to reach her lover back and clearly taken care of it has it was as wavy as ever. She was on the skinny side but did have some muscles poking out of her nightgown but the biggest thing was not the fact that she could see but rather that she could walk.
Even if one of her legs was a cybernetic synthetic from the knee down.
The new limb was very well design was even through the colour told you it was fake, the way it was built near perfectly mimicked how the leg of a young teen human girl would look like. She walked over to her drawer and got her toothbrush, toothpaste, face cloth and personal soap before heading to the joining bathroom, grabbing her towel before she closed the door. When she entered, she placed her stuff by the sink, grabbed her toothbrush, placed some paste on it, wet it with the cool tap water and started her daily routine. As she did this she thought back to how much had happened in the past few years.
Ten years to be accurate.
The first eight months were the hardest emotionally, Suzaku had to have 8 different surgeries to fix the damage done to his face alone, and had to have a lung transplant. Nunnally herself had to have an artificial leg attacked to her while her other leg went through numerous surgeries and other drug based treatment just so that it could hold her weight again, the same with her thighs and eyes, even if the damage done was minimal or psychological in nature.
Her brother…on the other hand suffered much worse.
They only found out around three days after they left that he was getting sick, at the time they didn't think much of it and presumed that it was just a flu intensified by being in space where gravity was lower, but they were wrong. So very wrong.
One day, he didn't came for breakfast and she got worried, Reyla offered to check on him and left to do so.
Her scream would haunt Nunnally's dreams for months to come.
He had gone to into shock due to his kidneys failing, it had seem that the blast that took his arm had damaged most of his organs and had caused small cracks and tears to form, these grew over time and soon afterwards, even his left lung started showing signs of failure. It pained her more than anything to imagine him, stuck in a hospital bed connected to all sorts of life support, oblivious to it all due to the painkillers they put into him to null the agonising pain of your own body shutting down. Afterwards it took three secret visits to Earth to acquire organs of his blood type and 6 operations to stabilize him.
Although as much as she didn't like it, her brother found a silver lining in not just her and Suzaku's occasional presence (Due to his own surgeries and rest schedules) but in Reyla as well, who would stay with him most hours of the day.
Turns out he develop a bit a crush on the older women, even if the than 11 year old Lelouch would deny it.
She was like his personal nurse and couldn't mind it in himself not to make her smile, it was nice…seeing her brother displaying emotions like any boy should be allowed to rather than the closed off protector he was becoming. With her encouragement, he went from a wheelchair to a cane in just two months.
It was only after he was able to walk around without his cane that he allowed to begin treatments on fixing up his arm, although from what she overheard, he had to have numerous implants placed into it to restore all motor and neuron functions.
Afterwards, the 'masters' saw it fit to see them. The first was old man who after his explanation, revealed that he was once a Sith Lord but had left the sith after finding no fulfilment in that path. The second one was a middle aged Jedi master who told them that she left the order after disagreeing with how they ran things. The two had met and joined forces on a path of enlightenment. They were more than a bit surprised to learn that the three of them were force sensitive and that when the two force masters arrive in their star system, they had felt this. Of course they didn't believe since half of what they claim to do was impossible.
She can still remember how hard she gawked when the former Jedi lifted a table with his mind and through it at them, only for Suzaku to stop it mid-flight.
The point was they made their point.
Afterwards they were all given their new training regimen. The first thing was finishing therapy before any of them could think of anything else, something that took another 4 months to do. Afterwards it was language and basic knowledge, she was happy to see her brother struggle in an academic subject for once but to be fair, to learn another new alphabet and dialect was nothing to scoff at. Next was basic (at least by Intergalactic standards) mechanic and engineering, after all you must be able to carry out basic repairs on both your ship, weapons and lightsabers. Kaya was a big help her since for all her pranks and teasing, she was a prodigy when it came to engineering and mechanics. Plus if the looks that Suzaku would give her were any sign, he had found his crush as well.
After three years, they could pass off as three regular kids on Naboo if they had to.
That when the real training started. They were first taken by Stephen to his home-world of Mandalore, it was…interesting. Being on another planet like that, much more one that culture revolved around fighting. What was that Lelouch said?
'My god, it's like being on a planet of Spartans and Scots combined!'
Yeah that was it, he really didn't like the 9 hour training sessions. Even Suzaku struggled to keep up with their standards. But hey Mandalore didn't produce the best warriors and soldiers out of thin air and after the two years, even Nunnally had the skill, speed and strength to kill the ass of most earth born and trained soldiers, and she was only 11!
Afterwards they travelled to Moon of Endor to train in the ways of the force by studying the three principles: Control; Sense and Alter. She will admit to herself that she was and still is jealous of her brother, as he was a master when it came to control, learning and mastering a few of them to the level of force masters who spent at least 20 years studying them in nine months. Even now he outclassed both her and Suzaku in that regard. His connection to the force appeared to be of the observer and thinker than the fighter, something that suited him nicely.
Suzaku on the other hand was a whiz when it came to Alter, as he was the most combat suited of the three, he group generate the strongest force based attacks of the three of them, his connection to the force appeared to almost completely revolve around combat.
Nunnally on the other hand was the best when it came to sense as she was able to detect life on distant planets so long as she was in the same system, while Lelouch could only detect life within a 4 500km range and Suzaku with a much smaller range of only 800km. she was quite proud of herself for being good at something her fellow students weren't, but she supposed that they all were. In a way that made their dynamic much more fluid as each one could do something the other could not and could cover each other's weaknesses.
By the time she had finished her little thought session, she had finished her morning shower and had dressed in her usual attire, white robes with her lightsaber securely strapped to her belt on her left side. (Just imagine the robes worn by Jedi temple guards)
'Mine…It makes it worth it, being left on Jakku was a week with only enough food and water for three days to find the crystal' Nunnally remembered with a shiver as she took longer than expected to even find one, but the force clearly smiled down on her that trip. She finished her business, open the blinds to see the far reaching deserts of the red planet, turned off Guitar Hero and the TV since she wasn't coming back here for a while and left her room with the door swishing close behind her, she walked for a while before reaching the area where Lelouch and Suzaku's rooms were. Just as she turned the corner, she saw Suzaku walk out of his room.
"Morning Suzaku." She called out as she rushed over and gave him a big hug, he chuckled a bit before returning it. Now these seven years had been kind to him, despite the fact he had to wear a mask to cover his lower face and has a scar across the left side of his face, he recovered relatively well and his eyes still have the kindness they always had in them, it helped that he had been on some dates, apparently even alien girls dig the scars. He was wearing a blue cloak over green body armour which protected his chest thighs, shins, shoulders and forearms, his two lightsaber latched into either side of his belt. His brown hair had been allowed to grow a little longer with some parts of it tied into little braids that made him look even adorable.
"Morning short stuff, how you sleep?" Suzaku asked, his voice slightly altered by the mask but still carrying that same old kindred with it, if not the teasing tone he was using to address her, she instantly broke the hug to glare at him with a pout.
"I told you! I'm not short, I'm above average for my age." She told him as she even placed her hand on her head to prove her point, he just chuckles more at her pouting.
"Not around here little missy." Suzaku told her before they both made their way to Lelouch's room.
"Jerk" Nunnally muttered as she fell in step with him. The walk wasn't a long one, as even after getting in shape, the pretty buy didn't like exercise, so they would reach his room soon.
"You think he's the only one in there." Suzaku asked, making light conversation at the expense of his 'dear' friend.
"Knowing him, he and Reyla are probably still asleep." Nunnally told with snicker as she remembered the time she walked in on those two in a make-out session in the infirmary.
It made sense WHY he was always getting hurt and heading there, smart guy.
"How you know it ain't another girl? There are more than a few on site out age…or close enough." Suzaku countered with a tone that told her he was smirking right now, Nunnally counted with a smirk of her own and a dismissive wave of the hand.
"Please, unlike you and your on again off again thing with Kaya, he's been with the Reyla since he was 15, besides you saw the two of them last night at the party." Nunnally told him as they both recalled they he and Reyla had stayed to themselves the previous night and then vanished around 10pm.
It was obvious to everyone that she was giving him his reward in a more…private setting.
"Yeah, no kidding on the night he celebrates mastering Form VII, he gets laid…lucky bastard." Suzaku muttered, still pissed that Lelouch beat him to mastery of form VII, even if he knows he didn't have the anger and bloodlust required to even begin the process, it was just he and Lelouch never like it when the other outdid them.
It was the whole reason that Lelouch badgered Tohdoh for two whole months to teach him Aikido, just so he could for once win against Suzaku in a sparring match and not have his ass handed to him.
"You're just jealous he lost his V-card before you." Nunnally teased as she walked ahead of him and faced him, enjoying the fact she got under his skin.
"It was three weeks dammit!" Suzaku told her, tired that she was still holding this over his head. He focused on training, so he didn't noticed the chemistry between Lelouch and Reyla till after he walked in on them while they were being…intimate.
By the way, it hurt like hell to be thrown into a wall by force push just for 'cock blocking', hurt worse when everyone else heard about. Stephen didn't stop laughing for a full three minutes.
"Yet it was three weeks before you." Nunnally clearly had time to think about, that or she had her brother annoying ability to predict your words. They soon reached the door and knocked.
"Yo Lelouch, wakey wakey sleeping beauty, cuddle times over! Its breakfast!" Suzaku announced as he knocked on the door.
(Inside the room)
Inside the locked room, it look like any teenage boys wound, there was a drawer and closest, the closet having a poster if a E.U rock band by the name of Linkin Park, there was a stand in the corner of the room that held an electric guitar while an acoustic guitar was mounted in the wall over the drawer. There was a desk with a computer and holo-projector. The computer having two monitors with an open case for Medal of Honour: Euro fighter next to the keyboard. There was a small TV set with a PS3 in the corner with two controllers still plugged but otherwise off. There were a few more posters on the war, mostly of Dark Fantasy and Snipers but nothing else. Like with Nunnally's room, the blinds on the windows were still closed.
On a king sized bed were two distinctly humanoid shapes, both covered by a very thin bed sheet. On closer inspection, we can see a head of black hair stinking out with another one of white hair. Both still soundly asleep enjoying their time of rest.
"Yo Lelouch, wakey wakey sleeping beauty, cuddle times over! Its breakfast!"
Till that happened.
One eye snapped open faster than a viper's strike. Revealing an annoyed looking violet before the rest of the body moved, lifting himself off the bed and out of the covers, revealing himself to not only be extremely fit for someone of his age along with the blaster scar on his chest but that he had tattoos running up his left wrist up to his right pectoral, the design that of eastern dragons and one which looked like the Alchemic symbol for fire but with a capital 'T' looking shape coming out of the top of it. This served as a mark that he was trained by the Mandalorians instructor Stephen of Clan Frizla. Something that earned him a lot of recognition on Mandalore itself.
Oh and he was stark naked.
Lelouch stretched a bit to get the sleep out of his system before he made his way over to the bathroom.
"Must he be so loud?" Lelouch asked himself, not really expecting an answer.
"If you didn't sleep in, he wouldn't need to be." Reyla answered, a playful smile on her face as she faced away from him and stayed in bed.
"What can I say, being in bed with you certainly beats most activities." Lelouch responded, playing along with her teasing since he loves it when she lets her hair down.
"Oh...is that right, so you're saying you would quit your gambling to be in the same bed as me?" Reyla asked, gently smiling as she turned to face him on the bed.
"I'm pretty sure I've left matches at your beck and call, my lady." Lelouch responded cheekily as he entered the bathroom to get ready.
"Hey Sleeping Beauty, get up already!" Suzaku called out again, this time with a laugh at the end of it.
"I heard you the first time you asshole, don't need to make me deaf!" Lelouch shot back from the bathroom, now annoyed that Suzaku was clearly enjoying interrupting his private time.
"You don't know help do you?" Suzaku asked, a teasing note in his tone as he struggled to keep his laughter in check
"Try to come in here again and this time, I'll force blast you to Jupiter!" Lelouch roared from the bathroom, purposely ignoring the fact that Reyla was giggling her not so little pretty ass off at his expense.
(Later-in the mess hall)
After an embarrassing morning wake-up call. The four found themselves in the mess hall, all around soldiers, technicians, doctors and other stuff sat about enjoying their morning meal, while exchanging jokes and banter, giving the large hall a nice friendly atmosphere. The four have been joined by Kaya who just came from the R&D labs having spent the whole night working a new type of Knightmare. She nearly had a heart attack when their agents on Sol-3 got a hold of some Sakuradite and a 3rd gen Glasgow and ever since she had been determined to create the 'ultimate weapons' for her lovely little devicer A.K.A Suzaku.
Reyla was wearing her medical staff uniform, only this one was for a full fledge doctor rather than field medic. The uniform consisted of yellow scrubs and a blue lab coat. Lelouch was wearing his regular robes (Just imagine the attire of the one worn by the Thexen in the Knights of the Fallen Empire expansion pack) along with a black and purple cloak with his dual lightsabers secured to his sides. Kaya wore a blue mechanic's overalls with dark brown boots, she was still covered with oil and grime from the labs which was just a glorified garage.
"I'm telling you guys! Once I'm done with the Stalker Mk IV, not even those little Sunderlands and Gloucesters will stand a chance against us!" Kaya told them with that crazed look in her eye as she imagined her latest creation tearing through anything earth could field.
"I'm still not set on the name here: Stalkers sounds way too imperial." Reyla said, still not liking the name of the things, even if its fits if you have seen them in person.
"We want them to fear the name Reyla, it wouldn't do to call it the 'Peacemaker' or something." Suzaku told her as he had to remove his mask to eat, luckily no-one called him out on the scars since they either knew what happened or had seen much worse.
"Plus I'm pretty sure that there is a pistol with the name; we want to be original after all." Nunnally told him, having seen a pistol with a similar name in one of her brothers IFS games.
"I just waiting for the R&D lab to finish my new sniper rifle, can't wait to get it out to the range." Lelouch told them as he imagined the firepower he would have to bare against those target droids.
"Oh that reminds me Lelouch, I had a chance to look it over…" Kaya told him, absolutely enjoying the panic look in the dark prince's eyes as he thought that over.
"Please tell me you didn't do anything." Lelouch begged, not wanting her crazy mitts anyway near his prized sniper rifle.
"Oh now why wouldn't you want me to tinker a bit?" Kaya asked him, doing a puppy dog look to get him to crack, luckily for him he wasn't cracking.
"Because last time you did, it blew up in my face, literally!" Lelouch yelled, waving his hands above his head to try and convince her otherwise. Sadly she didn't see a problem.
"Slight miscalculation." Kaya waved off.
"Slight miscalculation, I nearly lost my arm!" Lelouch yelled, waving his right arm around to show her he nearly had to get a robotic replacement because of her.
"Keyword: Nearly" Kaya shot back, grinning like a mad-women as she took a spoon full of soup and shoved it into her mouth, eager to get back to her little project soon.
"As much as I enjoy my daughter, making your lives a living hell, the master Kaden wishes to see you in the communication room." A new voice said from the door. They all turned to see a tale red skinned Twi'lek standing at the door, time clearly been good to her as despite being in her early 50s she still looked 35.
"Mother, you back!" Kaya chirped happily as she dashed over to her mom and gave her a big hug, something that was reciprocated.
"I just got back last night, I thought you would have been sleeping but I clearly didn't put much thought into it." Her mother spoke as she did know her daughter loved to tinker.
"You got that right, why sleep when I can be in the lab?" Kaya asked with a big smile on her dirt covered face.
"Lady Mei, welcome back" Nunnally said as she and the rest of their table walked over.
"It's good to be back, the middle Rim is still a war-zone and it wasn't too good for the republic when I left." Mei told them as he led them down the corridor to their destination.
"I hope they pull through." Reyla said as he didn't wish for a sith victory, not after what they did to Coruscant.
"I wouldn't worry too much about it, the Jedi do have a thing for pulling victories from the brink." Nunnally told her as she had heard the reports from their spies and was very impresses with the Jedi leadership, or their lucky steak.
"Indeed, by the way Lady Mei, you said that master Kaden wished to speak to us?" Suzaku asked as they reached an intersection.
"Yes, your find him in the comms room, last I heard he was ordering another shipment of Blaster gas from his supplier." Mei told them as he went the other way to see if she couldn't get her hands on her husband, she needed a sparring partner right now.
"Thank you, bye mom!" Kaya called out as she took off for the comms room, leaving the rest of the group in the dust.
"How does she have that much energy after staying up all night?" Reyla asked, honestly curious.
"Only the force could tell and it doesn't reveal its secrets to us mortals." Lelouch joked, getting a laugh out of everyone before they made their way to the comms room. It didn't take too long to get there as it was only a four minute walk and they found Kaya waiting for them outside the door, clearly she run all the way here. When they entered they were greeted with the usual stuff, officers handling numerous different calls and messages coming and out of the nerve centre of their little operation, Holo-projectors here and there with some on with people discussing important matters. The room didn't have any windows as it was in the centre of the facility to help keep it safe. They saw Master Kaden standing by one of the Holo-projectors, having just finished a call as they walked in.
Master Kaden was a very old man, having stated to he himself was around 278 years old, even if he only looked 70. His once brown hair had all but faded to white with a small moustache and beard on his face, his burning gold eyes having not dimmed since his youth. He had stopped wearing the usual sith black and was wearing a golden robe with white highlights. His lightsaber staff held firmly in his left hand. When they reached him, Lelouch, Nunnally and Suzaku all bent the knee, closed their eyes and lowered their heads. A sign of submission and respect to their master. Reyla and Kaya on the other hand firmly bowed slightly and their left hand to place on their stomach and right arm rigged to their side.
"Ah, you made it." Master Kaden spoke, looking over them to the other workers handling internal affairs.
"Of course master, it is natural for the student to heed the master's summons." Lelouch answered with a low tone and calm voice.
"So it is…tell me…what do you of the current situation on Sol-3?" Kaden asked of them as he looked down at his students with a raised brow.
"Master, the situation has changed somewhat as 2nd Princess Cornelia is locked in combat with the Middle Eastern Federation as the empire hopes to turn the region into Area 18 while Prime Minister Schneizel keeps the European Union from interfering on the diplomatic front. Tensions between the E.U and the Chinese Federation ran high as the Federation is trying to sell the E.U half-baked goods and expecting full price." Suzaku answered, having read the reports the previous week.
"The E.U?" Their master inquired once more, testing knowledge on the current situation.
"Master, the E.U has just elected a new Prime Minsters by the name of Neville Chamberlin who going by our own reports on him and his public stance, does not want to start any conflict with Britannia even though his own cabinet believe it to be the only way to keep themselves safe from an impeding invasion. He is too weak willed to be ally of ours and would likely sell us out the first chance he got. Also reports indicate that the E.U has been using refugees as expandable soldiers as their own people are too cowardly to fight their own battles, a large number of them are people from the conquered countries of: Japan, Libya and Tunisia." Nunnally answered this time, catching on to what he wanted.
"Very good, and the federation?" He nodded before turning his attention to the last of the trio.
"The federation would be a good partner of the empress was actually the one in power, our sources have found that the high eunuchs to be the ones really on power. Out secrets agents have found evidence to suggest that they had their last emperor killed in an assassination and blamed it on the euros. By doing so, they placed the young empress into power which due lack of experience and knowledge, gave them free reign to bleed the federation dry of its riches to fill their own bank accounts and satisfy their own greed. 90% of the population lives in crippling poverty and crimes is rampant. As it stand it would be more logical to approach India for partnership rather than the federation as a whole." Lelouch answered, having done his own research into this beforehand.
"And why do you believe India would a good ally for us on Sol-3?" Master Kaden asked, wanting to hear the reasoning first.
"Our spies have reported that the although the Maharaja is the standard selfish politician who knows nothing of honour and loyalty, the Indian people have been found to be more than willing to fight for independence. My guess is that although the MZI manufactures most of the federation military hardware, they know that the federation would deploy almost all their forces to keep it under their control, even if they did win and became independent, nothing would stop the Britannians from invading them and making the subcontinent another Area under their banner." Lelouch explained, revealing how fragile the federation really was.
"Yes…That would be a good thing for us. Rise my students, you are returning to Sol-3 for your first real mission there." Master Kaden revealed, smirking when he noticed all of them stiffen up at that.
"Is this true master? We going back to begin it all?" Nunnally asked, keeping her joy hidden at being given the chance to return to the planet they once called home for the first time in 7 years.
"Yes young Nunnally, our spies in Area 11 have found that not only is Viceroy Clovis an incompetent leader but he has been working on something. Strangely enough, of all the info we could get our hands on which include the names of key officials and military records, this 'Code-R' of his is a well-guarded secret. We have only captured two people who might have known anything but they both had cyanide pills hidden in their teeth." Master Kaden told them, a frown on his old face as he thought about the importance of such a secret.
"So they killed themselves before we learned anything?" Lelouch asked, having seen this before he knew that some agencies across the galaxy practiced this, forgetting that a secret worth dying for will just make those pursuing it even more determined to find it.
"That is the case at present. All we know is that it might be a project to manufacture a new kind of chemical weapons." He revealed, gaining a shock look from all of them, even Kaya was visible disturbed by this truth.
"You mean…that Clovis may be making…?" Reyla asked, afraid of the answer, luckily Lelouch took her one hand into his and gave it a squeeze.
"Poison gas, but I thought that the manufacturing, selling, distribution and usage of Biological and Chemical weapons had been banned from since the accords signed by the big three back in 1996?" Suzaku answered, poison practically dripping from his tone as he put two and two together.
"And still are, it would explain why he's been being so secret about it, even the Emperor wouldn't violate the international ban, but what I want to know is why. I mean Britannia certainly doesn't need thee stuff." Lelouch added, finding if odd that Britannia would make chemical weapons when they don't really need it, the cost far outweighed the gains here no matter how you looked at it.
"You can find out more when you arrive at Tokyo Settlement, pack a lot since you're gonna be in planter for at least 5 months conducting the operation. Of and Lelouch, pass by the armoury and pick up that sniper your so found of, they finished it a few minutes ago. Also we were able to secretly send in those stealth subs you wanted along with the supplies of Sakuradite, they're docked in the Japanese trench" Master Kaden told them as he left the room, taking that as a sign to leave as well, they went their separate ways to gather their things for the trip.
(Later)
This time it was Nunnally who was the last to make it to the destination, which happened to be the small airstrip outside the base, with a particle shield all around the place and dozens of industrial sized oxygen recyclers all over, as long as you stayed within the field, you could breathe without issue. She had changed out of her robes/armour and was wearing a green and white dress, white stocking and blue flats with her hair styled unto 2 pig tails to better manage it. She made her way over to hanger 4, which acted as the R&D lab since she knew they would all be there.
And she was right.
They were all gathered around a Gage-Class Transport which was being loaded with their supplies for the mission, including 5 of Kaya's new Stalkers but Nunnally could not see much of them as each was covered with a brown drape to protect against dust. Lelouch had changed into a black t-shirt with white vectors designs, a pair of black jeans with a chain sticking out of his pockets, probably his wallet. Along with this he was wearing plain blue sneakers and a black leather jacket. Suzaku was wearing a beige t-shirt with a blue coat, faded white jeans and black shin high boots. (What he wears in Cannon season 1). They were both talking to their love interest, saying goodbye as Earth had never had aliens so them coming along with be too much of a risk. It's the reason that Master Auburna couldn't go to earth, after all, she's a Wookie after all.
"Make sure to stay safe mister, you don't have a good reason to wind up in the infirmary now." Reyla told Lelouch, both still in a loving embrace with each other.
"I'll try my best, after all without you the infirmary doesn't seem to fun anymore." Lelouch replied with a joke, earning him alight smack on the head for his troubles.
"Remember to wear the new face mask I made you, your earth girls don't deserve to see all your scars." Kaya told him as she handed him his new face mask to hide the scars, thanks to Lelouch creating a new program, she was able to create a mask that would perfectly mimic his face after ten years of puberty and growth.
"But you do?" Suzaku asked lightly as he placed the mask in his carry-on.
"Of course, I'm the one who gets to feel you muscles around her as well so if you want another girl…call first, I want in on that three-" Kaya replied, her eyes gaining a lustful tint to them before she was interrupted.
"Okay, please don't finish that sentence. Are we ready to go yet?" Nunnally asked, not wanting that image in her head.
"Yep, the last one was just fastened down, take care of them now, they are the only ones we have and I need combat data for them" kaya told her as she gave Nunnally the briefcase with her pilot suit in it, Lelouch and Suzaku already carrying theirs.
"Take care now, and give them hell back your planet." Kaya told them as they walked over to the entry ramp.
"That's the plan." Lelouch responded as he gave Reyla one last hug before boarding the shuttle, Suzaku and Nunnally following suit. They found their seats and sat down, opting to sit near each other but not next to one another. It didn't take long for the shuttle to get into the air and soon enough they had left the atmosphere of Mars and were on open space.
"How long till we get to earth?" Nunnally asked as she got comfortable in her seat.
"There's no need to rush so we aren't going full speed, I say around 7 hours." Suzaku told her, pulling out his travel pillow and getting ready for the long trip.
"That's sounds right, Ill wake yer when we get there old friend." Lelouch added as he pulled out a book to read to pass the time.
Look out Earth
The Order of the Black Knights were fast coming…to change the world
Well that's chapter two guys, I did what I wanted to do and yes I know I didn't reveal just what forms they all mastered but that will come in due time. Yes they turned Mars into a settlement for themselves seeing how the moon has too many droids and satellites watching or monitoring it so they chose a planet which doesn't as the three power blocks have other things on their mind other than space exploration, like killing each other. I know I made them all act differently but you can't expect them to act like cannon when they all went through such a change over the last 10 years so yeah. Also yes, Lelouch is in fact dating and sleeping with an older woman…lucky bastard. I also made them act more like teens as well with all the teasing and roasting going on there.
Another thing you guys must have noticed, the E.U prime minister is Neville Chamberlin, a real life person who was Prime minter for the British in the 1930s and early 1940s till he was replaced with Winston Churchill, Neville was replaced due to the fact he wasn't fit to lead the British against the Axis during the war as he had no real plan or drive to take them on. He was great peace time leader, not so much a wartime leader and we all know the Marilyn Monroe quote: 'If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best'. So for the most part, the E.U won't be a big factor in this story till their Churchill comes to power.
Something else I changed as that Sakuradite is in fact found on other planets in the Star wars galaxy and I made up some new ones for Lelouch to gather supplies from. I'll get into them as the story goes so please be patient. They are going to be looking into this Code-R as anyone knows you should know as much about your foes as possible. On the matter on Geass, I don't see Lelouch needing it was although his absolute obedience was powerful, he had Jedi mind trick now and other cool abilities, adding Geass would either be redundant or OP depending on who you ask. By the way here are their heights and age for this story.

Nunnally: 160cm 16 years old
