Author Notes: I know it's been a very long time. But RL has been very hectic and I have barely any time to type down anything. It might explain the choppiness of this chapter. The interesting parts start from the next chapter onwards. This chapter is mainly to clear up the base and especially the ages of the characters. I hope you enjoy! (And the credit for this amazing idea goes of Lord Joyde who also helped me write the last part of this chapter)

Fallen-Ryu: Actually the pairings will be established in the next chapter….. maybe. Thanks for the review!

Lord Joyde: Couldn't control my girly side xD

Kingrichard360: Actually I did plan to start it in this chapter but there is a change of plan. If I add that part too then this chapter would cross 10K words. So you would have to wait for the next chapter. But I feel that it's pretty obvious. Anyways, thanks for the review!

Inugomeluna: Well…. So many questions. The only way these questions will be answered is by reading the story. Lelucia and Lelouch are both going to be important in this story along with Suzaku. I am glad you liked the other story too. Give "An Edge of Soul" a shot. You might like it. Thanks for the review!

Hell Lord12: The pairings you will find out in the next chapter. I don't think you will be disappointed by the story. Thanks for the review!

InsanePurpleLove: Wait for the next chapter. It's going to be a big one. Thanks fr the review!

Wanderer097: Thanks for the review!

Chapter 3: Start of the Chaos

"Big Brother!" Lelucia came rushing up to Lelouch. Despite being only 1 and a half year old, she was already able to speak quite well. Lelouch stopped playing the piano and peered down at his little sister. Automatically, a smile lit up his face.

"Lelucia." He picked her up and made her sit beside him on the piano seat. "Have you come to hear me play?" Lelucia often liked listening to Lelouch play the piano and would often accompany him to his lessons. But she seemed excited about something else.

"Mama is going to get a baby!" Her bright violet eyes were shining with excitement at the news. "I will also have a younger sibling that I can take care of." She smiled her crooked smile and Lelouch couldn't help but laugh.

It seemed like what he had predicted was true. Lelucia would be about his age when Nunnally would be born. He still hoped that things would be different. There were already things that he couldn't predict about and he didn't want things diverging too much from the original path so early on. Not that he didn't welcome the change. It was quite refreshing to live a new life.

"Well, make sure that you take good care of her." He ruffled her hair and turned back to the piano.

"I will take care of her like how you take care of me." She declared, half hugging him around his waist. The positon was awkward since both of them were sitting and he was a lot bigger than her, but Lelouch returned her hug willingly.

"I know you will." He replied. "Now go on. Give Mother some company. I will come as soon as I finish this piece."

Smiling brightly, Lelucia nodded and bounded off. Lelouch looked after her with a smirk on his face.

Things were starting to fall into place.

Aries Villa was once again in uproar. Maids and soldiers rushed around. Lelouch felt a sense of Deja-vu hit him. He remembered the time Lelucia was born. There was the same havoc. But at least he had proper company this time. At the tug on his head he amended the thought. A very excitable company.

"Yes Lulu?"

"Why are they taking such a long time?" She asked gripping his hand tightly. Lelouch squeezed back and smiled reassuringly.

"Don't worry. It will be over soon." Lelouch sighed. Life was boring. Yes, he was one of the eldest and he was also the Emperor's favorites but that didn't mean that he was enjoying sitting around when he had the power to change anything he wanted to. But he had to have patience.

'A few more years and I can start my plan…..' He thought.

"Lelouch! The baby came out!" Lelouch blinked and looked down at his little sister who was tugging at his hand. He saw the Doctor who had been present during Lelucia's birth smile at them as she opened the door to let them enter.

He quietly entered the room. Lelucia on the other hand barreled in and was by Marianne's side within no time. "Mama! Let me see the baby!" Marianne exchanged an amused glance with Lelouch from where she was sitting against the headboard. At Lelucia's squeal of delight, Lelouch quickened his steps until he was by his sisters side.

And he felt a smile light up his face.

Nunnally was born. Slight wisps of cinnamon colored hair could be seen and she was sleeping peacefully. Lelouch knew from experience that it wouldn't be long before she would wake up and start wailing but he didn't mind. The sister for who he had given up his life was born. And this time, it would be Lelucia who would protect her with everything she had.

And Lelouch would protect both of them.

"She is cute!" Lelucia lightly touched Nunnally's cheek. "My own little sister."

Marianne laughed. "I thought of naming her Nunnally." She grinned at Lelouch. "Since you seemed to like that name." Lelouch smiled back and felt a rush of affection for his family. Marianne might not have been an ideal mother but she was their mother despite everything she had done.

"It's a nice name!" Lelucia kissed Marianne on the cheek and got down of the bed. "I better go and see if Euphie will be coming to see Nun- Nunna." Lelucia smiled sheepishly at her inability to say the name and ran off.

Lelouch and Marianne looked at her leaving the room.

"Nunnally too does not have Geass." Lelouch turned back to his mother and smiled wanly.

"So I am the only one born with Geass." It was a fact. He knew the reason behind this but he didn't find it necessary to inform anyone else. They still hadn't told him about the Geass order. The only thing they had old him was that he was 'special' and he had been born with a 'great power' that could be used for the good of humanity.

But he had no interest in getting involved in their plans again. He would leave that up to Lelucia. Of course, he would provide her support now and then but this life was for him to enjoy.

"Well, we can't be sure." Marianne smiled. At Lelouch's confused look she elaborated,"What if you get more siblings? It is a possibility.."

Lelouch made a weird choking noise as scarring mental images of Charles and Marianne filled his mind. Marianne laughed and waved him out. Lelouch gave a small glare that soon melted into a smile as he left the room.

He had missed his mother.

It was time for the First Annual Family Picnic.

Nunnally was 4 years old and Lelucia was 6. Lelouch was the eldest at 16. Nearly all of his siblings would be there along with his mother. Even Gabrielle la Britannia would be present with her son Clovis. All the other consorts were too 'busy' to make it up.

The picnic would be held in the Wicker Gardens that was exclusive to the Royal Family.

"Nunnally be careful!" Lelucia shouted as Nunnally ran around in excitement. Nunnally, as usual, paid no attention to Lelucia's warnings.

"Let her run around Lulu. Don't be a spoilsport." A 5 year old Euphie commented as she joined Nunnally in trying to catch a butterfly.

"Lelucia is right Euphie. You and Nunnally should be careful." Cornelia, the ever worried older sister stood by Lelucia in observing their siblings. Even though she was only 15 years old she acted more mature than most of the elders. Lelouch knew that she was going through a military programme that would provide a start for her military life.

"Let them be. We came here to enjoy." A 15 year old Schneizel commented, trying to be the mature one. Lelouch rolled his eyes. When he has been young he had idolized Schneizel for his cool headedness and calm demeanor. But now, since he elder than Schneizel, he got the chance to view the bratty side of the prince.

"Lelucia dear, come here and sit by me. Let your sister enjoy. Cornelia, there's place for you too." Marianne called out from where she was sitting on a cloth and Lelucia reluctantly went to sit beside her mother. Even as she sat, she continued to keep a close eye on Nunnally.

'Was I really like that?' Lelouch thought.

Cornelia, on the other hand, went eagerly and began chattering excitedly with Marianne. Lelouch shook his head and sat on a nearby chair. He glanced around.

Clovis was, as usual, painting the scenery around him. Even though he was only 12 years, he was showing the talent of an aspiring artist. Carine was throwing another tantrum and was getting angrier since no one, except Gabrielle was paying her any attention. Guinevere and Odysseus were the only ones elder than Lelouch.

Odysseus was off to a meeting in one of the Britannian occupied areas and Lelouch felt a pang of irritation. He was already starting to get bored. There were many things he wanted to do and he couldn't do it until he grown up a bit more. But then, this life looked better than his previous one. He could, for once, think for himself and be selfish. Odysseus, being 18 had started to get completely involved in politics. Lelouch didn't want to get involved in politics. He had other plans.

"This is stupidity." Lelouch glanced at his small sister who had come to sit beside him. She was pouting and folded her hands across her chest. "Is my baby sister whining?" He was met with a sharp -yet cute- glare.

"I am not whining. That's what those old ladies in the court do." She pouted and turned her face away from him.

Lelouch laughed pleasantly and ruffled her hair. She immediately relaxed and smiled at him.

"Hey Lelouch?" She turned towards him with a small frown on her face. "Is what Britannia doing a good thing?" She asked. Lelouch retracted his hand and looked at her. Her violet eyes were curious as she waited for his answer.

"Depends on what you are talking about." He replied easily.

"Well…." Lelucia looked hesitant but continued on. "The way they are taking over the countries and all."

"And why is that wrong?" Lelouch asked.

"Because people deserve to be free don't they? By invading their country we are snatching away their freedom." Lelucia frowned.

"If Britannia doesn't take over the countries than the EU or the Chinese Federation would. And who knows? The condition might be even worse under their reign." Defending the Empire he had once fought against lift a nostalgic tinge in his mouth but he had to seem like he supported the Empire. At least in his sister's eyes.

"What if their condition would be better?" Lelucia shot back.

"Can you guarantee that?" Lelouch asked.

"Can you guarantee it won't be?" She countered.

Lelouch shook his head. This was getting nowhere. "Those people deserve to be ruled over. If they are unable to defend their country from our invasions then they are weak." Lelouch smiled as Cornelia entered the conversation. Glancing at his mother, Lelouch noticed that Nunnally and Euphie were playing with her.

"But everyone deserves a chance. Not everyone can be the same." Lelucia protested.

"That's what Father says doesn't he? No one is equal. Some are strong and some are weak. The weak deserve to be ruled over by the strong or they will perish." Lelouch truly didn't completely believe in this principle but he knew that there was some truth in it.

Lelucia fell silent. Lelouch sighed. It looked like the debate was over.

"How can a person be called weak?" Lelouch and Cornelia glanced at Lelucia n surprise. She had raised her head and was looking ferociously at them. "What classifies a person as a weakling? People often don't know their own strength until they are cornered into a position where they have no other choice than to fight back. When the people they love are in danger, they will risk everything to keep them safe. That's real strength."

Lelucia took deep breaths after the long speech and her cheeks turned red as she noticed Cornelia and Lelouch staring at her in surprise.

"I didn't understand a word of what you said." Cornelia muttered.

"But a weak person, no matter how much they try to fight back, will be unable to make a change." Lelouch countered smoothly.

"We should never underestimate the strength of the person when he has something to fight for."

"Britannia will continue to conquer the countries that don't fight back when they are attacked."

"There is not much left to be conquered anyways." Lelucia muttered irritably.

"Who knows, maybe Britannia will take over the world one day. Japan or Europe would be a good place to start."

Cornelia continued to look between them trying to understand what they were actually talking about. Half of her attention was held by Euphie was had begun to run through the grass along with Nunnally once again.

"But Japan can barely be called a country! Why would Britannia even want to conquer such a country?" Lelucia asked.

"Didn't you yourself say that we shouldn't underestimate the power of people? Japan might seem like a small country but there are people in there that will be able to make a difference in the world." Lelucia looked at Lelouch curiously trying to figure out what he meant by that.

"Lelouch, Lelucia, Cornelia. Time for lunch." Gabriele called out, sitting beside Marianne. Cornelia nodded and made her way towards them.

Lelouch turned towards Lelucia and looking at her face, frowning in concentration, he laughed and patted her head. "You don't need to worry about it for now." He said pulling her along with him. "If you ever go to Japan you will see what I meant by yourself."

"You called for me Father?" Lelouch stepped into the large spacious office of the Imperial Palace in Pendragon. Charles, who was seated on the desk, looked up at Lelouch.

"Ah Lelouch, my son." There was a cool smile on his face as he studied his favorite son.

"I think you know why I have called for you at such a short notice." Charles gestured to the seat in front of him. Lelouch took a seat and smiled.

"I do know why you called for me." Lelouch's smile soon turned into a smirk. "I hope you have no opposition with this plan of mine." Charles continued to study his son. He knew that the boy was different from all his children. Not only did he have Geass but he was also smart and cunning. He just had to find out if it was a good thing or a bad one.

"I don't. But I do have to question this sudden decision." Charles inquired.

Lelouch tilted his head to the side. "I am almost 18. It is time I start involving myself in the affairs of the kingdom." Charles smirked. He knew that Lelouch had no interest in Britannia or ruling the country.

"You want to defeat the Europeans because you are bored." It wasn't a question but a statement.

Lelouch merely laughed and nodded his head. "Of course. I don't want the territory given by the Empire for me to supervise; I want to overlook the territory I conquered." Charles raised an eyebrow. He couldn't understand what was going through his sons mind most of the time. He and VV had still not managed to understand the secret behind the codes.

"I called you here to discuss about your protection."

"My protection?"

"Since you want to get more involved in the Kingdom's affairs, there will be people who would be delighted to see you perish."

"I think I can protect myself."

Charles just looked at him apathetically. "I somehow really doubt that son."

Lelouch raised his eyebrows' and looked like he was about to argue some more. But before Charles could say anything, Lelouch closed his mouth and sat back. Charles stared at his son thoughtfully. He knew that there was something going on in Lelouch's mind.

"Fine." Lelouch shrugged. "I have no problem."

"And what bought about this sudden change of mind?" Charles questioned.

"I don't mind having a guard of elite knights. But I have a condition." Lelouch smirked. "I get to choose them personally." Charles quietly studied his son. He knew that there was something brewing in his son's mind. But he didn't really care. As long as it didn't interfere with the Ragnörak connection, Lelouch was free to do whatever he wanted.

"And they will be called the Knights of Chaos." Charles lips twitched but he retained he cold expression.

"I don't see any difficulty in that." Charles relented. Lelouch grinned and stood up.

"If I may take my leave." Charles nodded and watched as Lelouch walked out of the room.

"The Knights of Chaos, he says..." Charles muttered, an insane grin etching itself upon his face.

He busted into full blown laughter," HAHAHAHAHA!" His son was turning out to be more like him than he had predicted. He still didn't understand VV's problem with the child but for him his son was the perfect person to carry out the plan.

He made his way to his personal plane and departed to the thought elevator on Long Tide Island. The Geass order had found another thought elevator on Kamine Island. But they couldn't start any work on that thought elevator until it was completely under the control of the Britannian Empire. Currently, Kamine Island was under the territory of Japan.

It didn't take long for him to reach the island since it was the closest thought elevator to Pendragon. Entering the large cave and staring at the broken down door to the World of C, his insane grin appeared once again.

"Chaos... Yes, Chaos Indeed! Hell God, with this.. amazing monstrosity of a son which you have granted unto me, it's almost like you WANT to be destroyed!" His laughter turned to chuckles as he made and discarded plans in his head. After standing there in silence for a few minutes, he took one long glance over the barely-formed weapon meant to kill God and smiled evilly. "With Lelouch by my side, this... thing, may not even be necessary to destroy you."

His grin does not leave his face as he turns around." But I'm afraid that might be a story for another time. For now, I will take great pleasure in observing as my Son does what he was born to do. I will watch with glee as he burns everything and everyone that dares stand in his way, as he obliterates loyalty and devours hope..."

Charles begun to madly crackle once more as he steadied himself. "I... will greatly enjoy watching the spectacle as my child breaks the very foundations of the world he stands upon! And once he does, once there is nothing more left to break, no more walls left to shatter…. I WILL KILL YOU!"

Pivoting on his heel, he left the cave. But in his euphoria, he does not notice the smoky avatar of God- just barely visible- appearing in the background, bearing the same smile as the man who wanted to end his existence. "Oh my dear, sweet Charles.. .you have no idea of the truth within your own words. But, I'm afraid you aren't the only one who is going to enjoy the coming show."

"Let the chaos began!"

Author Notes: Well…. I hope you enjoyed reading. As far as the next update is concerned it will most probably be in February. My days are packed from next week onwards and there is no way I can update this story. But I will try my best. Thanks for the support and reviews!
