First I would like to thank everybody who read and review chapter one I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Second I don't have a beta reader yet but I am looking for one so if anybody is interested let me know. Third I would like to note that when I uploaded this story felt the need to fuck up my spacing by combining some words together and randomly italicize letters ect. I tired my best to fix it but I may have missed some of the errors here and there also i wanted to have more space between the bolded scene change parts and the actual body of the story but every time i added those extra spaces and clicked save, the site reverted them. Finally I obviously don't own Code Geass sunrise does.

(Near the black knights HQ)
Suzaku was walking into the damp alleyway a few blocks away from his base to retrieve Lelouch's knightmare and C.C. "It's not here now what" he said into his communicator "look up" Lelouch told him from the other end. Suzaku looked and sure enough a modestly damaged knightmare dangling from the roof. "Lelouch you're getting lazy this thing could have fallen off and hurt somebody" he criticized while hurriedly climbing up the buildings fire escape to remove the hazard "I was in a hurry and you know Catherine wouldn't have let anyone get hurt, besides I couldn't just waltz into your office in a knightmare" He joked "agreed, hey how do I get this open-" he was cut off by C.C. opening the hatch
"nice to see you again Suzaku" she greeted with a faint smile
"Yeah I guess" he responded a little off guard "I didn't think I would see you again either"
"hey Lelouch isn't it dangerous having her here what if the wrong people see her like Ohgi or Kallen?" he said speaking into the communicator again as they made their way back to the ground
"I already thought of that, can you arrange transport for her to New Pendragon"
"yeah I should be able to arrange that " Suzaku said curiosity hinted in his voice
"good just get her to the city and the rest should go smoothly"
"you're not going to tell me where she will be staying?" he asked
"oh I thought you would have already figured that out, dont you remember that secret section of the palace you lived in when you were 'dead'"
"oh yeah, I remember…"
What he remembered most about that time was the moment he killed his best friend, after all that's not the kind of thing people forget easily.
(we are now entering a flashback being experienced by Suzaku C.C. and Lelouch at the same time but hey this is anime its normal for people to think the same thing at the same time without knowing it right)
It was cold that morning, as if the universe itself knew what was about to happen and adjusted nature itself to mock him yes the morning was cold as death. That was the last thought crossing his mind before Lelouch's transport came into view and when it did his body and mind were not in sync. As he ran towards his target dodging bullets his mind was playing a different track "I can't do this I should be running the other way" but his emotional pain didn't stop his body as he jumped off of Jeremiah he caught a glimpse of his face through the corner of his eye "why is he smiling at me we don't even know this will work, why am I even going along with this plan its suicide literally Lelouch could just be trying to take the easy way out without worrying us" he frantically searched for an excuse his body would listen to but his heart knew what was right and it was already too late as he had just plunged the sword into Lelouch's heart and he felt it in his own as well. Lelouch raised his arm placing his hand on Suzaku's mask staining it with his own blood and with some of his last remaining energy forged a contract with him
"The punishment for what you have done shall be this then...you will live on, always wearing that mask, serving as a knight for justice and truth. You will no longer live your life as Suzaku Kururugi; you shall sacrifice the ordinary pleasures of your life in benefit of the world for eternity."
"This Geass I do solemnly accept" he declared in his mind with tears now running down his face
Then in one swift motion removed his sword from Lelouch's body allowing him to fall down to Nunnally and stood receiving the unwanted praise of everyone watching for a while before snatching up Lelouch's body and dashing off to hand him over to C.C. at the church
(some time later at the church C.C. POV)
After Suzaku left she carried him to a bed in a back room and undressed him to examine his wounds "so much damage" she murmured while cleaning the chest puncture "I think I finally understand why you did this for me back then, Lelouch you idiot have you cared for me all this time?" she asked not expecting an response "well it's going to take you days to recover from this hmm I wonder if it would be safe to order pizza" she wondered out loud with a little excitement opening the phone book only to find a note in place of the P section written in Lelouch's hand writing "Catherine don't order pizza there are ingredients in the kitchen make it yourself PS I will call you that forever and I'll learn to say it right, I love you" "damn it Lelouch how can you be so annoying and so sweet at the same time" she complained to nobody "well I guess I better get to work then" she resolved wandering out of the room "rest my black king" she said softly closing the door
(Three days later Lelouch's POV)
When Lelouch opened the eyes of his newly immortal body for the first time he saw his white witch C.C. looking down at him, the first thing he felt was her hand stroking his hair, he even breathed in her sent, he was now in every way dedicated to her and from the looks of things she felt the same for him. They remained this way for a moment before he decided to break the silence
"So Catherine, am I the love you waited 200 years for? Do you still wish to die?"
"you fool" she said sweetly "It wasn't love I have been searching for but I am glad to have found it I will never wish to die again" she said in such a way that it sounded like an eternal promise but then again in a way that's exactly what it was
They would have gone on but Lelouch noticed Jeremiah sitting in the back corner of the room "how long has he been there" Lelouch tilted his head in Jeremiahs direction" two and a half days" C.C. responded "is that's so" he thought "Jeremiah will we be heading off soon?" he asked remembering the land they had set aside "yes my lord as soon as you are ready" "very well, leave us and prepare transport" Lelouch ordered "I'll have to get used to not doing that so much now that my geass is gone" he remembered "oh and after you do that could you go to the Ashford Academy and set off some fireworks for me?" he asked with a thoughtful expression adorning his face "yes my lord" he confirmed leaving the room
"How long do you think that will take him?" C.C. asked
"Maybe an hour or so since he'll be trying to be discreet and all, why do you ask?" Lelouch inquired
"I want to see how much Immortality has improved you endurance" she replied seductively sliding into the bed with him
(Back to Suzaku and C.C. also, I'll keep making references like that for now until I feel my skill is re-established enough to write a real lemon )
Suzaku and C.C. had just arrived at her transport to New Pendragon and were about to part ways again
"Hey C.C. I've been meaning to ask you, why does Lelouch call you Catherine?"
"Because that is my name" she said as if it should be obvious
"oh cool I'll call you that too then"
"NO" she snapped "only Lelouch is allowed to call me that no exceptions"
"ok whatever you say" Suzaku said defensively as she entered her transport and it took off "geez talking to her is like walking through a minefield, no its worse I'd rather walk through the field, I'll never understand what Lelouch sees in her, well I better get back to HQ"
(Inside the UFN consulate about an hour later)
The two masked leaders, Zero and Chimanako followed by an ever cautious Kallen through the busy halls of the counsel building to their meeting .
"Kallen do you have any update for me" Zero asked
"Only one, Lloyd is still locked in his lab which has put the rest of R&D department on hiatus"
"I'll deal with them later do you have any other business here?"
"Um not exactly to be honest I still don't trust your friend here" she said with the slightest bit of venom in her words
"Very well than please continue to accompany us to the meeting we won't be here long" Zero invited going along with her overly cautious attitude and throwing open the door to the council chamber dramatically for the others to enter
"this is a crucial moment" Lelouch thought gazing around the room recognizing all the people he wished he didn't have to talk to "Ohgi, Kaguya, Todo, Xingke, Schneizel wait what is he doing here? Could he be a stand in for Nunnally? That doesn't matter they all still hate me. They don't know that im me, stop being so damn self-conscious" he mentally corrected himself
"Zero why was this emergency meeting called and who is this you have brought with you" Kaguya asked
"I promise this will only take a few moments of your time, the counsel has been called together today because only hours ago the Black Knights were under attack by a formidable adversary calling himself Ember and this is Chimanako my brother he is here to assist me in defeating Ember"
"so fight him I don't understand why a council meeting is needed" Todo said tiredly
"You under estimate your opponent, carful Todo that could be the death of you. There two reasons actually" Lelouch began in a powerful regal voice "first because I need to know that I will have your complete and total cooperation in defeating this adversary and second, because the attack came from within which means somebody let them in so in time I'll need to interrogate all of you." Lelouch paused for a moment letting everything sink in before he gave his final comment "speaking of which I think I'll start with you Todo meet me in the Black Knights detention Center"
"This should be interesting" he thought walking out of the council room
"Who does this guy think he is" Kallen thought while the meeting continued
"Zero do you have anything else to add" Ohgi asked
"Only that I think you should heed his word and pledge your support, of cores that is up to the vote"
Xingke spoke for the first time "I understand how you feel Zero however you can't expect us to give such support unconditionally, I suggest a probationary period of six months in which we will give him our support to an extent and allow him to prove himself worthy of our trust, can we all agree on this?"
All the members made various comments of agreement
"Then its settled, counsel Dismissed" Kaguya announced
"Kallen you still don't trust my brother do you" Zero asked her as they exited
"No I don't" she said trying to sound calm
"I didn't think so that's why I have decided to assign you to him for the time being" he informed her
"WHAT WHY" she said in shock
"I need everybody to trust each other and that's the only way I can see for you to learn to trust him"
"ok Zero when do I began"
"Tomorrow after he meets with Todo"
(The next day at the Black Knights HQ, detention center)
Lelouch was waiting patiently in interrogation room one, for Todo thinking through his plans "I don't have any real reason to suspect Him but this should be an interesting distraction until I find someone who I'm actually suspicious of or perhaps I should just wait for embers next move hmm this is a tricky situation"
His thought was interrupted by the door opening
"ah Todo I have been waiting please take a seat I assure you this won't take long" he instructed
When he was seated the questions began
"first where were you when the incident occurred"
"at home with my wife"
"oh so that's why he didn't want to come to the council meeting"
"do you have access maps and schematics of the Black Knights HQ"
"yes I do but they are all in my office, if you don't mind could I ask you a question?"
"go ahead"
"how much of a suspect am I in this matter"
"not much really I honestly just want to clear the highest ranking officials first"
"I understand, do you have any other questions for me"
"just one, does the word 'geass' mean anything to you?"
Todo was surprised by the question but kept his composure "if it does would that make me more suspicious?"
"yes slightly but lying would be more suspicious"
"in that case yes"
"Good your honesty pleases me that will be all I have other things to attend to today and I'm sure you do as well" he finished as the two of them exited the interrogation room and went their separate ways
"that was unexpected but his actions do make sense…possibly too much sense it's as if I've worked with someone who thinks the same way as this Chimanako….that's it he reminds me of Lelouch…but that's impossible Lelouch is dead I had a front row seat to his execution…but then what other reason could he have for wearing a mask….no I can't be certain of anything this is all just speculation perhaps I should consult with Xingke maybe he will notice something in his interrogation" Todo's thoughts wandered on as he returned to his schedule
(Meanwhile Lelouch was about to exit the detention center)
Kallen was waiting in the lobby and called out when she saw him exiting the interrogation section
"Chimanako over here"
"What is my queen doing here" he wondered to himself
"Yes Captain Kozuki what do you need?"
"Zero has assigned me to work with you today"
"Well I'll have to remember to thank Suzaku for this later"
"Is that so well then shall we go, I need to check on Earl Asplund"
"Last I heard he's still locked up in his lab"
"That's fine just take me there I don't quite know my way around the base yet"
"Very well, we should take the monorail"
"Lead the way"
(on the monorail)
There was a strange silence between the to, Kallen unsure what to say, if anything and Lelouch not wanting to accidentally give himself away he finally resolved to say something as they passed a familiar area of the city where he had given his first speech to her seven years ago
"look at it, Tokyo Japan what was once a feeble dominion of the Britannian empire is now the capital of the entire world and home to all the world's leaders it's an astounding metamorphosis caused by my brother alone and with the two of us working together an even greater change will come to the world so I assure you Kozuki, your mistrust of me is understandable but ultimately misplaced and I hope my actions can prove that to you"
"To be honest with you the trust I have in zero has hard earned he proved himself to me over and over and that is why I trust him and a part of me really wants to trust you but you haven't proven anything to me yet so I guess I'll just have to wait and see"
"I can work with that" he said with a faint smile under his mask
(Outside Lloyd's lab)
Lelouch and Kallen approached Lloyd's laboratory and saw a group of scientists around the door
"Has he said anything?" Lelouch asked
"only 'go away' we called Rakshata down here but she hasn't arrived yet"
"Well sorry I'm late now what was so important that I had to stop working and come here?" she asked approaching from behind and adjusting her pipe
"Rakshata is that you?" Lloyd called ecstatically from behind the door
"Earl of pudding? You seem to have locked out your minions"
"Oh finally someone with a brain come in" he said opening the door just long enough for her to enter before closing and locking it again and In moments a high pitched evil sounding cackle was heard from the other side of the door "exactly now do you see what I mean" Lloyd asked much to everyone else's confusion "yes it just might work, but Lloyd don't you think we should show them to it will go quicker with more hands" Rakshata inquired "alright alright let them in" shortly after he said that the door was opened and the science team followed by Lelouch and Kallen filed in
"ok Lloyd what's this big discovery?" Kallen asked a little skeptical
"a new kind of energy filler was powering there knightmares it's like nothing I've ever seen"
"what's so special about it?" Kallen asked still playing the skeptic
"put simply it never runs out" Rakshata chimed in
"can you make more?" Lelouch asked
"yes but that will take time glorious mass production will not be able to help us this time" Lloyd said with a somber feeling in his words
"what if we just focus on key units"
"it would still be a month or so to have them all outfitted with working units"
"well if you let us help it could be done quicker" one of the disgruntled scientists spoke up
"There is only one other person outside of Rakshata and myself who can be of any use here and I have absolutely no idea where she is" Lloyd said condescendingly
"I assume you're talking about Nina Einstein, ill have her tracked down for you" Lelouch said
"Thank you um I'm sorry I didn't get your name"
"Chimanako"
"ah well anyway please do find her soon now if you'll excuse us everybody except Rakshata and myself get out or your all fired" Lloyd threatened
Everyone filed out quickly
"Kallen I appreciate your company but I need to go speak with my brother in private so can return to you normal work for now and ill contact you when im done"
"Whatever" she said curtly walking away
"well that's to be expected, she still dislikes me" he thought smirking under his mask as he headed towards Suzaku's office
(in Zeros Office)
As soon as Lelouch was inside he removed his mask and Suzaku did the same so they could talk informally
"so Lelouch how did things go with Todo earlier"
"as expected, he's not suspicious"
"That's what I thought"
"Yes and speaking of earlier I appreciate you assigning Kallen to me"
"Yeah I thought you would enjoy that, but I assume you have another reason for coming here so what can I do for you"
"you will need to leave for 14 days, don't tell anyone who does not need to know"
"and where will I be going"
"to Kamine island, it's an area with a strong connection to the power of geass if you spend time there your geass power will grow stronger over time I think it's a good idea for you to spend a little time there to prepare for embers next attack"
"But Lelouch even if you can run things for me don't you think out troops will be discouraged by my sudden disappearance"
"Possibly but in this case it can't be helped we need you to be as strong as you can for the upcoming battles, also can you arrange to transfer Kallen Lloyd Rakshata and myself to the New Pendragon branch I have a bad feeling that Ember will attack Nunnally next and I intend to be there to protect her when that happens "
"sure Lelouch I'll take care of the arrangements"
"Well if that's all I have some other preparations to make" Lelouch said turning to the door
"Lelouch, it's really good to have you back" Suzaku said again fondly
"It's great to be back" Lelouch said putting his mask back on and exiting the room(by the way his mask looks like Kabal's from Mortal Kombat except it covers his whole head)
(outside the door minutes ago)
Schneizel had been in an adjacent office to zero's eavesdropping on Suzaku and Lelouch's conversation through the thin wall
"So zero will be on Kamine Island for two weeks this is an excellent opportunity" he thought removing himself from the wall and taking out a cellphone
"Hello Ember…I have an update for you…yes a most opportune chance to strike has arisen"
(12 days later on Kamine island)
"I have been living on Kamine Island for 12 days now and like Lelouch said my power is getting slightly stronger I can regenerate from wounds a bit faster and things like that" Suzaku thought while exploring another region of the island. Little did he know that on this day many things would change he would gain new hope and Lelouch would fight a fierce battle. "I remember the first time I came to this island, right after Lelouch ordered me to live and one of the last times I saw" his steps came to a halt when he saw the figure of a beautifulwoman dressed in white with long flowing pink hair "it it can't be E E Euphy?"
(Black Knights, New Pendragon branch Kallen's POV)
"things have been changing a lot lately ever since Zero disappeared and Chimanako took charge and I trust him but I don't at the same time it feels strangely familiar no it feels like working for Lelouch…but Lelouch is dead that bastard died without ever telling me how he felt or if he felt anything at all arugh just thinking about it is so annoying" Kallen was sucked out of her inner monologue by a voice coming through her communicator
"Captain Kozuki I have just received word that forces are amassing outside the city you are to lead a squadron of black knights to re-enforce the castle guards as that is there most likely objective, understood?"
"yes commander I understand Kozuki out"
"well isn't this an interesting turn of events, Zero disappears and then then Ember prepares to attack this definitely supports the idea that his mole is one of the higher ranked officers I should interview Schneizel next or maybe Xingke he's not suspicious but he's most likely to support me even if I reveal my identity but to be sure I would need to speak with him in an isolated area….in any case I need to get to my command station and win this battle" his thoughts trailed on as he made his way to the palaces upper levels
(in the sky above new Pendragon and Lelouch's command room)
Lelouch entered his command station; it was a large round room with a single seat in the center that looked something like a combination of a throne and a tactical computer with cables spreading through the room in a sort of web. When he sat down in it was revealed that the entire room was a highly advanced computer system utilizing a holographic map of the city which appeared around the throne; there was also a mask attached to the chair that interfaced the computers advanced systems directly into his brainstem this would make the command chair an life threatening risk to anyone else but for an immortal with a mind incredible as Lelouch's it is the ultimate weapon. As soon as the interface synchronized completely Lelouch's consensus was absorbed in a myriad of data "activate system rolo" he thought; this was a highly advanced AI program he had written based on the memories of his false little brother it was capable of realistically simulating the way Rolo thought and would respond to nearly every situation and could give sound tactical advice and criticism as well as mimicking his personality "I guess I don't really have any room to call Suzaku sentimental anymore"
"it's good to see you again big brother, are we preparing to fight another battle?" asked a holographic representation of Rolo
"yes Rolo we are, have you connected to all the Black Knights systems and communications yet?" he asked while entering calculations at an almost mindless rate
"I'm linking in now we'll be prepared to fight momentarily"
"Alright Q-1 are your units in position"
"yes Chimanako were transmitting data to your system now"
As she spoke markers for their units and all visible enemy units appeared on the map
"Lloyd how many units are equipped with FEF(final energy fillers)
"just the Guren and one advanced prototype unit based loosely on the Zangetsu"
"that's fine all units except Q-1 keep tight formation around the palace, Q-1 move freely and destroy all hostels, whoever is piloting that prototype keep close to the throne room and protect the emperors"
"Understood"
"so the enemy forces are massing at our walls I'll admit you've impressed me Ember the sheer number of people you have managed to recruit is a testament to both your might and charisma, you are a worthy opponent but I am prepared for you Rolo connect me to the head contingency unit this battle will be underway in a moment, very well Ember if you're so confident make your move"
(Back on Kamine island)
"yes Suzaku its really me" she said with a melodious voice
"but how can you be here… I watched you die"
"I don't know how I just appeared" she shrugged
He reached to embrace her but his hands fell through
"you're a-"
"ghost? Yes it seem to be something like that"
"is it possible that Lelouch knew about this"
"well regardless of how or why you're here now im glad you are, there could even be a way for me to bring you back into this world completely"
"Oh Suzaku im just happy we can be together again even if it is this way"
"come to think of it my geass commands the flow of life is it possible that I did this, I was thinking of her right before I saw her…never mind that for now I should just enjoy the moment"
"well in that case would you care to take a walk with me m'lady"
"of cores" she chimed as they walked off down the beach
(back to the battle)
"DIEEEEEE" Kallen cried as she ripped through another enemy knightmare
"Q-1 you're doing well but fall back to the other units the west end is coming close to being overwhelmed back them up"
"Understood!" she called activating her radiant wave surger to blast away the enemy horde only for them to be replaced by even more
"Damn it, no matter how many of them we destroy more keep coming…..I guess we have no choice Rolo activate the sky sanctuary "
"but brother it's not finished yet"
"we can still keep it operational long enough for us to win this battle do it now"
"yes brother"
RUUUUMMBLEE
The earth shook as the palace slowly ascended from the ground to float above the rest of the city
"YES FLY MY BEAUTIFUL CREATION" he cheered "im glad to have finally given Nunnally her childhood dream of a castle floating among the clouds"
"big brother the prototype!" Rolo warned as he noticed it flying towards the throne room
"R-1 what on earth are you doing"
"it's not me I've lost control AAAHHHHHH" the pilot screamed as his knightmare exploded near the castle exposing the throne room
"I'll cover that opening wait what the hell" Kallen said as she noticed someone who looked like C.C. looking around outside which left her vulnerable and in that instant of shock one of her energy wings was damaged and then the Guren took a nose dive strait into the foundation of the castle where C.C. had been standing
"NOO NUNNALLY" Lelouch roared, seeing a unit approaching the opening in the throne room
"Jeremiah move the contingency forces up now and attack Ember" he thought into a private link
"yes your majesty!, all forces attack" he ordered and a large force of knightmares lead by a Siegfried unit rose from there hiding places and struck the enemy forces from below
"All Black Knights attack from above, crush them in-between" Lelouch ordered before standing up from the command chair, deactivating all systems except Rolo and the communications and rushed to the throne room not caring to put his mask back on "I am confident that I can reveal myself to Nunnally at the very least, at most Kallen and maybe Xingke.
The enemy knightmares trapped between both forces engaged them on all sides leaving the real battle inside the palace.
Ember exited his knightmare and began crossing the large open room towards Nunnally.
"So you are the emperors" he said in a voice filled with disgust
"and I assume your Ember?" Rolo asked before Nunnally could respond, walking in from the other end of the room."
"who are you boy?" asked Ember shifting his stride in his direction
"Rolo, Lamperouge"
SSSSHBLAMM
Explosion resounded through the room as Jeremiah destroyed the grounded Knightmare
"Worried? Your path of escape is cut off and your no match for me in combat I assure you" Rolo taunted as the distance between them was getting shorter
"I think you'll soon learn that it is I who have the upper hand here" Ember said activating his geass
"give me your best shot" Rolo continued now within arm's reach
"I'll soon change that smug attitude of yours" Ember challenged enraged grabbing the youth by the shoulder
"sorry to disappoint you but im an android so I can't feel pain" Rolo informed him smiling fully now
"You insolent little- argh"
Rolo showed no mercy beginning with swift kick into his ribs ending his would-be monologue then following up by crushing down into his left knee sending him to the floor "without your armies and your geass your completely useless how disgusting" he sneered taking out his knife and stabbing into his heart
"Good work Rolo but-" Lelouch congratulated stepping into the room
"Lelouch!" Nunnally called out joyfully running to him
"Nunnally! I've missed you so much" he declared scoping her into his arms
"I thought you were dead Lelouch you have to promise me you will never do that to me again"
"I promise but you can't act like you know me around anyone except Suzaku for now ok"
"alright" she agreed happily
after a few moments he put her down and returned to the current problem
"Rolo how do you have a body?"
"oh I had Lloyd make me an android body as soon as my systems were first activated in the city two weeks ago"
"he built an android in two weeks?" Lelouch asked incredulously
"why do you think there weren't more FEF's"
"oh well I guess I'll need to talk to him about that…Rolo you don't have geass do you?"
"as a matter of fact I do, it's really as simple as reverse engineering geass canceling technology, after that it's just a matter of morality"
"right and for Lloyd that's nonexistent"
"exactly"
(several hours later)
after the battle was finished Lelouch returned the Palace to the ground, put his mask back, and called the medical wing to hear what was discovered about Embers body and his followers.
"you see the problem is, there all the same person"
"I don't understand, what do you mean the same person"
"in basic terms clones"
"so it's more than likely that we didn't kill the real one and were back to square one great, contact me if you find out anything else out of the ordinary" he said ending the communication
"well at least that explains why there were so many of them… well I guess it's about time I went to check on Catherine"
"Master Lelouch we have a problem" Jeremiah said over the communicator
"what's the matter?"
"It's lady Kallen, Schneizel has just ordered her arrest"
(in Xingke's Office)
Todo entered Xingke's office having finally found the conviction to bring his suspicions to Xingke and enraged by Schnitzel's of Kallen arrest
"Xingke we need to talk, I never mentioned this to you before but I suspect that somehow Chimanako may be Lelouch"
"do you have any kind of evidence to support you"
"not really there's just this feeling and he mentioned Geass to me in my interrogation"
"Even if he is Lelouch would that really be a bad thing?"
"what are you saying you know what he did"
"yes and ever since he died I've been questioning his motives, if he is indeed alive that means he faked his death which could likely mean the five years of peace we have had were part of his elaborate design"
"still I need to know and you can't say this doesn't make you curious"
"well what do you expect me to do hmm?"
"All I ask is for you to keep this in mind when he gets around to interrogating you and let me know afterwards if you feel the same way I do"
"I'll consider it Todo but no promises, now if you have no other business here I-"
"as a matter of fact I do have something else to ask you, what do you intend to do about Kallen's incarceration?"
"for now nothing I want to see how it plays out"
"How can you just sit back and watch"
"relax Todo she has only been arrested now I know just as well as you that Kallen is innocent of whatever crime she has been charged with but if we act rashly and don't see this through than we won't be able to expose Schneizel and get him out of office like we have been wanting to for four whole years"
"Your right but It's hard for me to do nothing when im in a position of power I feel that its my responsibility to take action, perhaps I should take a few days to distance myself from this ordeal"
"it seems that would be prudent but we can talk more about this matter later we do both have family's waiting for us after all"
"yes I should return home or Nagisa will have my head" he joked
With that the two comrades parted ways with more questions in their minds than answers
(Four days later Suzaku's POV)
Suzaku had returned to very shocking news about the skirmish in New Pendragon and departed to speak with Lelouch about it and to tell him about Euphy
"I still can't believe he had a float system built into the castle" he thought as he walked across the 'ground' of the flying fortress over to the secret entrance to the castles underground facilities hidden in the garden. As soon as he entered the main chamber he was surprised to see through a hazy atmosphere of smoke Lelouch sitting atop a throne of pillows with C.C. laying all over him taking turns with a bong, the source of all the smoke along with some burning incense "what the hell is all this Chimanako's HQ or an Indian harem!"
"ha ha chill out Suzaku this is my home after all I think im entitled to enjoy it a bit"
"sure whatever its just really far from what I expected"
"Awe your just mad because you don't think well share" C.C. teased
"I would if there were a woman I trusted with my secret besides you and Nunnally" Lelouch said with another laugh
"well as a matter of fact there is, Euphy why don't you come out" "this should get him to be serious"
Euphenia walked through the door into view
"nice to see you again Lelouch it seems you're doing well" she greeted sweetly
"h h how ….where did she come from"
"I found her on Kamine Island, she's not fully here though just a spirit, I need a favor from you"
"what do you need me to do"
"only someone with a code can enter C's world I want you to take us there I think in there I could touch her and if I can touch her I should be able to regenerate her body"
"well depart soon it's just….i have some things to settle with my brother" he spat the word with disgust "after I take care of things here we can go back ok"
"sure" Suzaku agreed with a small smile
"Now until then relax enjoy your stay in a flying palace of peace, Jeremiah show them the rest of the place" he called and sure enough Jeremiah appeared from the shadows in another corner of the room
"Lelouch may be a little…crazier now or maybe hes just enjoying immortality but he's still the same over the top person as before"
"right this way Sir Kururugi" he said waving his arm towards another door"
"everything seems to be going well, Rolo is protecting Nunnally I have a good excuse to interrogate Kallen now, Suzaku is back and we may even be able to bring Euphy back to life, I still need to check with Lloyd about the knightmare malfunctions and Schneizel has made a bold move but I only need to get a few more peaces and then this game can begin for real….."
