Britannian Emperor Lelouch: Your emperor is back, fans, and he has returned with the third chapter to his new story. This one is a pretty good one. The guys have just gotten defeated by the enemy and are now having to heal up. Most of the chapter is pretty boring, but the end heats up when a challenge is thrown out by the enemy that leaves no chance of victory for the hero. The hero, being the strategic person that he is, will have to make a really good plan to beat his enemy. Of course, the battle will not commence until the sixth chapter of this story. I've got two filler chapters that I want to put in first. Sounds just like an anime. I'm using fillers to make more chapters. Oh well. Here's the third chapter of the story. I hope you all enjoy it!


Chapter 3: Junichiro

"Hey, Ryouta," a voice called out. The room was dark. In fact, there was no light at all. That's what the room looked like, even though it was really the back of Ryouta's eyelids. He was still unconscious from the blow he had taken at the hands of his new enemy, Yoshinori. "Wake up, Ryouta." Ryouta opened his eyes a little bit to see Toshirou standing above him. "Hey, Junichiro, he's up. How are you feeling, Ryouta?"

"What the hell?" Ryouta asked, groggily. Then he remembered events from the fight. He sat up quickly and winced in pain. He clutched at his side. "Damn, that hurts."

"You shouldn't sit up that quickly," Junichiro said, appearing from around the corner. "You took some nice shots from that guy." He set down a little container that held some tablets in it, along with a glass of water. "Take those tablets. They help relieve some of the pain."

"How are Akinori and Shigekazu?" Ryouta asked.

"Well, let's just say that you weren't the one who took the most damage," Junichiro replied. "However, you did take more damage than Shigekazu. He should make a fast recovery."

"What about Akinori?" Ryouta asked.

"Let's just say that he had to make a trip to the infirmary," Junichiro replied. "I'm not one hundred percent sure if his arm is broken. The percentage for it being broken is at least eighty percent though."

"I told those two not to fuck with him," Ryouta said. "What do they decide to do anyways? Freakin' dumbasses."

"Those two are very stubborn when it comes to a situation like that," Junichiro said. "Even if they know that they are no match, they still have to get in on the action. Those two might make it seem like they hate you, but since they decided to help out, they showed their friendship to you that way."

"Still," Ryouta said, "getting hurt is a nice way to start your college years off. I need to figure out where Yoshinori is so I can beat his face in."

"It would be best not to deal with Yoshinori until you have healed," Junichiro said. "You need to be at one hundred percent before you take him on again."

"I know that," Ryouta said. "Are you trying to play the part of my strategist or something?"

"You figured out Junichiro's fighting technique, Ryouta," Toshirou said.

"What do you mean?" Ryouta asked. "Are you saying that you're the strategist of the group?"

"Correct," Junichiro said. "Why the hell do you think I kept telling those guys not to go right in? Why do you think I stayed back from the fighting?"

"I see," Ryouta said. "You guys were a really good group back in high school then. You would provide the strategy, and those two would rush the enemy."

"We would all rush the enemy," Junichiro said. "Just because I'm a strategist, there's no reason that I can't fight."

"So why didn't you try to fight Yoshinori?" Ryouta asked.

"I didn't have a good atmosphere to concentrate on making a great strategy," Junichiro replied. "Even if I did have a strategy, I knew that we wouldn't be able to win anyways. Those two, on the other hand, will barge in without a plan if they want to. Of course, that's when they will get their asses handed to them."

"Have you guys ever won without a strategy?" Ryouta asked.

"Have you ever taken a person that you didn't need a strategy for and defeat them?" Junichiro asked.

"Well, obviously," Ryouta replied. "There were a lot of kids in my high school that thought they could beat me. Of course, they weren't even worth the fight. I could punch a guy and send him flying at least 100 yards."

"You just answered your own question," Junichiro said.

"What do you mean?" Ryouta asked.

"The three of us could beat many of the kids at our school with our eyes closed as well," Junichiro replied. "I would always laugh at a good amount of our opponents. I could tell that they weren't even worth saying what they did. They'd challenge us one second and be down on the ground the next second."

"Damn," Ryouta said. "That's pretty amazing. That's just how it was for my opponents. They thought that they were the shit, but they would end up on their asses in a few seconds."

"Of course, I can tell that you had one opponent who was your equal," Junichiro said. Ryouta's eyes grew huge. "I see that I hit some memory brain cells on the mark. How was this opponent?"

"He was a tough son of a bitch," Ryouta said. "Of course, I was able to get the best of him towards the end of summer and defeated him for good. What about you? You three must have had some good opponents."

"Of course," Junichiro replied. "There was no way that we would have beaten our opponents without my strategic intelligence. The only thing is that I was good at coming up with our beginning strategy. I made it up before the battle would begin. When our strategy would fail, I would have to come up with the next one in battle. Our opponents must have known that my weakness was being able to come up with a good strategy in a quick amount of time. They would always be on the attack when our strategy failed, giving me no time to think of a new one. That was our downfall at the beginning of school."

"So how did you beat your opponents in the end?" Ryouta asked.

"We all did our own separate training to get better," Junichiro replied. "We each decided to develop the skills that we could best work with."

"You mean Akinori's speed, Shigekazu's movement, and your strategic intelligence?" Toshirou asked.

"You hit that right on the mark," Junichiro replied. "We kept developing and made our way up to being equal with our opponents. Then, right before the school year ended, we were finally able to best them. They decided to give up on fighting us and we haven't heard a thing from them after high school."

"Would they talk to you now?" Ryouta asked.

"It's a possibility," Junichiro replied. "I could care less. They weren't like enemies that you'll hate for the rest of your life. Why? Is your opponent like that?"

"Yeah," Ryouta replied. "We hated each others' guts. We were hoping to actually kill the other one if we could. Unfortunately, neither one of us died so we didn't get our wishes after all."

"Damn," Junichiro said. He turned his attention to Toshirou. "So did you ever have any fights in school?"

"I did," Toshirou replied. "They weren't anything long-term like the fights that you two were involved in."

"I see," Junichiro said. "So you're pretty much useless when it comes to this enemy, correct?" Toshirou fell over onto the ground. "Well, I guess we're going to need to wait for those other two to heal as well."

"Who the hell are you calling useless?!" Toshirou exclaimed into Junichiro's face. "I've had a few fights, which still makes me capable of fighting!" Junichiro pulled out a handkerchief and wiped his face off. Toshirou looked at him and grew very angry. "What the hell's with the wiping-your-face-off motion?!"

"Could you please quiet down some?" Junichiro asked. "You know that Shigekazu is sleeping upstairs, right?"

"Oh shit," Toshirou said. "I forgot about that."

"Besides, I don't feel like kicking your face off," Junichiro said. Toshirou fell over onto the ground again. "So what is your technique to fighting, Ryouta?"

"Well, believe it or not," Ryouta replied, "I'm actually an all-around fighter. I have no problem barging into a fight without a plan or I like to sit back and plan a good strategy before I decide to attack. You can basically take the three of you, combine them together, and add a few more aspects to the fire to get my fighting style."

"I see," Junichiro said. "You're the kind of person that the warriors of the old Chinese and Japanese wars were looking for. Of course, you will be a good one to challenge this new threat that we have. Now I see why he has chosen you as his opponent."

"Of course," Ryouta said, "he has now decided that I'm not worthy of being his opponent. All it took was a little bit of action to show him that I'm not what he's looking for."

"He called you the only person that could stop him though," Junichiro said. "I wonder why he would change his look on how you fight."

"He owned me though," Ryouta said. "You two were witnesses to what happened in that battle. He most likely has the wrong person. He might be looking for a different Ryouta Ishida. There has to be more in this country than just me."

"I'm not sure," Junichiro said. The room grew silent for a bit. "You said you're a strategist, correct?"

"Yeah," Ryouta replied. "Why do you ask?"

"I just happen to have a chess set," Junichiro replied. "Would you like to challenge me to a round of chess?"

Ryouta smiled and replied, "You have no idea who you just challenged to this game. I was known as the king of games at my school, especially chess."

"That's funny," Junichiro said. "I was crowned the king of strategic games at my school. Chess was the one that I was best at winning."

"This will be a challenge then," Ryouta said. "Toshirou, will you be in charge of the time for our moves?"

"Definitely," Toshirou said.

Junichiro went up to his room and retrieved the chess set. He brought it downstairs and set it up on the table. "Which color will you choose to use?" he asked.

"My favorite color is black so I'll choose to use black," Ryouta replied.

"In other words, you want me to go first?" Junichiro asked.

"It doesn't matter what color I am," Ryouta replied. "I will win with whatever color I use."

"The same goes for me," Junichiro said. He picked up one of the pawns on the chess board. "Let the game begin then!" He set the piece on another square.


The door to an apartment opened. A boy walked in through the entrance and shut the door behind him. He looked over towards the corner to see a girl sitting there. The boy was revealed as Keiji Miyamoto. He walked over to the girl and knelt down next to her. "What's the matter?" he asked.

"I don't want to be with him," the girl replied through tears.

Keiji looked on at her. She seems to be crying, he thought to himself. Who is this girl and why is she in my apartment?

The girl looked up at Keiji and pleaded, "You have to save me from him."

"Who is this 'him' that you're talking about?" Keiji asked. Then he remembered seeing this girl before. "Wait, you're the girl that-." The door to the downstairs room opened and Yoshinori walked out. He looked at the two. "So you're the downstairs roommate? My name's Keiji Miyamoto. What's your name?" Yoshinori looked at him for a bit and then let out a chuckle. "What's so funny? All I did was ask your name. I don't see what's so funny."

"What's funny is that you even asked my name," Yoshinori replied. "You don't need to know my name, and I really didn't care to know what your name is."

"I see that you're not the social type," Keiji said. He looked at the girl and then back at Yoshinori. "What's this scene about? There's a crying girl here in our living room area. She keeps asking me to 'save her from him'. Do you know what she's taking about?" Yoshinori walked over to him. "Well, do you have an answer?"

"That doesn't really concern you," Yoshinori replied. "Now, I suggest you head upstairs and forget what you just saw."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Keiji asked. "There's a girl who needs my help and you expect me to just-." He was cut off because Yoshinori grabbed him by the throat and started to choke him.

"Stop it!" the girl exclaimed. "You'll kill him!"

"Don't you think that I trying to kill him?" Yoshinori asked. He squeezed Keiji's neck tighter, causing Keiji to gasp for air. The girl looked on in horror as the life was zapped from Keiji's body. "Well, this boy should be lucky that I don't feel like killing him at the moment." Yoshinori let Keiji go. Keiji fell to his knees, clutching his throat and gasping for air. Yoshinori grew a devilish smile on his face and said, "Of course, I didn't say I wasn't going to knock him unconscious." He hit Keiji in the back of the neck with a chop. Keiji fell over onto the ground, unconscious. Yoshinori walked over to the girl and grabbed her by the arm.

"Let me go!" the girl exclaimed. "Let go of me this instant!"

"Why?" Yoshinori asked. "What the hell do you expect to do to me? I'm the most invincible person in the world. You wouldn't be able to hurt even my pinky finger. Now, let's go. You need to get some time in the sunlight. You've been sitting in this darkness all day. Let's go pay a visit to a friend. I'd like to lay down a challenge to him."

"Let me go, dammit!" the girl exclaimed. "NOOOO!" He pulled her out the door and shut it afterwards.


A black king chess piece was set down on the board. Ryouta sat with his arms crossed and said, "Checkmate."

Junichiro looked over the board and said, "Well, I'll be damned. You're correct. It looks like you have beaten me. I'm surprised that you did it so quickly too."

"Let's just say I practiced to be able to win a chess match in a few minutes," Ryouta said. "Even against a good opponent like yourself. I was afraid I was going to lose for a while, but then I eventually turned it around."

"And I wasn't able to turn it back around," Junichiro said. "When I thought I could turn it around with a certain move, you would counter it just like that. I congratulate you on this victory. I've never lost at this game before. You are the first opponent to ever beat me."

"That leaves my record as still undefeated," Ryouta said.

"That's amazing," Toshirou said. "I can't believe that you've never been beaten at this game. I wish I was good at this game. I might be able to beat somebody with less experience, but I would never be able to beat you two."

"Give it some time," Ryouta said. "You'll eventually reach the level that we play on. When you do, I wish to challenge you to a match."

"Right," Toshirou said. "I'll make sure that I give it my all."

"Good," Ryouta said, "because you'll need to give your all to defeat me." The stairs to the apartment started to creak, meaning that someone was making their way downstairs. The three looked to see Shigekazu slowly making his way down the stairs. "Is that Shigekazu?"

"Well, it sure as hell isn't Akinori," Junichiro replied. "There shouldn't be anyone else upstairs except Shigekazu."

"Shigekazu," Ryouta said, "what the hell are you doing out of your bed? You're injured badly. You should be resting up at the moment."

"I'm fine," Shigekazu said, holding his side. "Don't worry about me." He fell to his knees. The other three rushed over to him. "What the hell's Akinori at?"

"Does it really matter right now?" Ryouta asked. "He's being tended to where he's at. We're trying to take care of you but you are stubborn as hell."

"Where the hell is Akinori?" Shigekazu asked again.

"Dammit," Ryouta said. "You get your ass up into that bed and rest."

"I don't need to listen to your shit," Shigekazu said. "I wish I didn't even get to know you."

"I'll make you get back in your bed," Ryouta said. "You better fuckin' go or I'll force you."

"Fuck you," Shigekazu said. Ryouta grabbed Shigekazu by the shirt collar and made a motion to throw a punch. Shigekazu flinched as he awaited the punch. Ryouta haulted the shot right in front of Shigekazu's face. Shigekazu looked to see the fist in front of his face. "Well?"

"You flinched like a little bitch," Ryouta said. He started to laugh. Shigekazu stared at him and then he grew an expression of anger. "I can't believe I thought you were strong."

"I'm strong, you asshole!" Shigekazu exclaimed in anger. "I should kick your ass for what you just pulled."

"You want to try taking me on?" Ryouta asked. "You wouldn't even last a second against me."

"If that's what you think, then let's go," Shigekazu said. He stood up quickly, causing him to grimace in pain. He clutched at his side. "Damn pain."

"Anyways, if you want to see Akinori," Junichiro said, "the members of the infirmary are trying to help him all they can. We could all go to see how he is doing."

"That's a great idea," Toshirou said. "That way, Shigekazu can get treated much quicker than he could with us."

"Toshirou does have a point," Ryouta said. "Would it be better if you got treated over there, Shigekazu?"

"That would be a lot quicker," Shigekazu said. "Besides, they'll at least attempt to help me. You guys haven't done shit for me."

"Bullshit," Junichiro said. "I gave you some fuckin' pain pills. Did you take them?"

"Really?" Shigekazu asked. "I must have not seen them."

"See," Junichiro said. "Don't accuse us of not helping you."

"Can we just go if we're going?" Ryouta asked.

"Yes, we can go," Junichiro replied. The group headed out the door and shut it behind them. They started to make their way towards the infirmary building. "This campus sure is huge."

"I know," Ryouta said. "I arrive for my first class today and couldn't stop gazing all around the campus." There was a gasp from Shigekazu. "What's up, dude?"

Shigekazu pointed his finger forward and asked, "Isn't that the guy we were fighting earlier?"

Ryouta looked in the direction to see Yoshinori staring straight at him. Yoshinori also held a girl by her wrist. Ryouta's expression turned into a scowl. "What the hell do you want, Yoshinori?" Ryouta asked.

Yoshinori smiled at him and replied, "I was wondering if you wanted to play a little game."

"It depends what the game is," Ryouta said.

"Oh, I was hoping for a little card game," Yoshinori said.

"I told you this morning," Ryouta said. "I didn't bring my cards with me."

"Well, aren't you the lucky one," Yoshinori said. "I just happened to find where you live." Ryouta's eyes grew huge. "I was able to pick up your cards and bring them with me."

"You didn't do anything to my friend there, did you?" Ryouta asked.

"He just so happened to not be there at the moment," Yoshinori replied. "He just ended up being one lucky son of a bitch. I would have had no problem beating the hell out of him just to piss you off."

"Damn you, you bastard," Ryouta said.

"Here," Yoshinori said. He pulled out a deck box and threw it to Ryouta. Ryouta caught it and looked at the box. "Those are your cards, right?"

"This is my box," Ryouta replied. He opened the case and pulled out the deck of cards. He examined some of the cards and placed them back in the deck. "This is definitely my deck."

"Excellent," Yoshinori said. "Then here's my little game." He brought his arm forward, causing the girl to move forward. He let go of her arm, causing her to fall forward onto the ground. Steel bars erupted from the ground and closed in around the girl, making a cell. The girl looked up at Ryouta. Ryouta gasped in shock. "So, I take it that you know this girl?"

"Hey, that's the girl that Ryouta saw at lunch," Toshirou said.

Ryouta's expression grew even angrier. "What the fuck are you planning to do to her?" Ryouta asked.

"I noticed that you don't even know her name," Yoshinori replied. "Well, I'll let you know that her name is Naomi Katsushika. She and I are in a relationship at the moment."

"What?" Ryouta asked in shock. "You've got to be kidding."

"Unfortunately for you, I not kidding," Yoshinori said. Ryouta looked on at Naomi's face. He noticed that she had the look of not wanting to be with Yoshinori. Ryouta smiled. "What the hell are you smiling about?"

"I see that she doesn't like you very much," Ryouta replied.

"That's bullshit," Yoshinori said. "If she didn't like me, I wouldn't be with her, now would I?"

"You were just about to explain your game," Ryouta said. "What is it?"

"I'm glad you asked," Yoshinori replied. "We're going to have a card game. The winner will receive a really nice reward. That reward will be this girl."

"What are you saying?" Ryouta asked, confused about Yoshinori's game.

"If I win this little game, which I know I will, Naomi is staying with me," Yoshinori replied. "If you are magically able to win, then Naomi will be able to go with you."

Ryouta looked at Yoshinori and then at Naomi. I can't believe it, Ryouta thought. If I'm able to win this card game, I'll be able to show Yoshinori I'm better and I'll be able to get Naomi from his hands. This is definitely a mission that I want to win. "I will take on your challenge."

"Of course," Yoshinori said, "if you are able to win, I'll make sure that you won't get this girl."

"What?!" Ryouta asked. "You just said she would be able to go with me!"

"What you don't realize is that I've planted a bomb on her," Yoshinori said. "If you are able to win, I'll set the bomb off and this whole campus will be sent to oblivion." He started to laugh maniacally.

Ryouta stared at him, with a huge state of shock on his face. The other three had the same expressions on their faces. What the hell do I do here? Ryouta thought. There's no way in hell that I can win this match now. The only thing is that I have to. I'm undefeated in the game of cards, but I have lives on the line. I need a plan. Oh wait. I need a plan, but I don't have to make it. "Junichiro."

"What is it?" Junichiro asked.

"I know what you're about to ask him, Ryouta," Yoshinori said. "Don't even think about getting those three involved in this. If they do, I'll set off the bomb just like that. And don't think about forfeiting the match either. If you do that, I'll kill us all off that way. You have to duel me and you have to lose. It's that simple."

"Ryouta," Toshirou said. "What the hell are you going to do?"

"I have no choice," Ryouta replied. "I have to duel him."

"You're not looking forward to losing though, are you?" Junichiro asked.

"You've got that right," Ryouta replied. "I'll figure out some sort of plan to win the card game and save us all at the same time. I accept your challenge, Yoshinori."

"Good," Yoshinori said. "Then let the game commence."


Britannian Emperor Lelouch: Well, there's the end of the third chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it. The next chapter, which is a filler chapter, is located at Kogei High School. This is where the brother of the main character goes to school. This chapter is going to most likely be the first humorous chapter of the story. The other ones have had some humor, but not very much. I think this next one will have a lot of humor. I know chapter five will definitely have a lot of humor. Anyways, this is your emperor of Britannia saying peace out!
