Black Code
Ch 4
Disclaimer; still don't own Code Geass
All the guests sat at the table that had been set in the middle of the room. Lelouch looked angry, C.C. seemed bored and the other 3 were all in such a state of shock they almost needed medical attention. Everyone was facing Darm who was standing in front of a door to another room. Ranu was standing in front of the exit because of Lelouch's attempt to escape.
"So why are there 2 extra chairs?" asked Nunally, starting to recover from shock.
"I'm glad you asked. That was the first thing I was going to explain anyway. Allow me to begin." Darm started walking behind the guests. "I have a question for all of you. If an individual could have any one wish what do you think the most common wish would be?" He paused so everyone could think. "Money, perhaps? Maybe love? No. The most common wish would be to bring someone back to life." Darm was standing behind Lelouch now. "If you have a code no one will ever wish you back to life." As he said this he ripped Lelouch's shirt at the neck, exposing his code that had been forced on him by his father. C.C. showed her code as well. "That's because those with code can never die. So this most common wish, who would you bring back? Kallen, Nunally what would you do? Would you have brought back Lelouch?" They both nodded. "Suzaku, I bet I could guess who you would bring back."
"Euphy," whispered Suzaku, remembering how she had died and what had happened that day.
"Yes, Euphemia li Britannia. We all regret her death. How about you, Lelouch? Would you call back Euphy or would you bring back somone a little closer to you?" Darm had walked back infront of the table to his original post. "What about Shirley? Would you not grant her the life taken from her?"
"Shut up!" shouted Lelouch standing up suddenly. "I have commited many wrongs in my time and I regret them all! That's why I tried to die! But I am cursed by my father with imortality! I wish I could bring both Shirley and Euphy back but I can't! I think about this every day and I don't need to be reminded!"
"I apologize Lelouch. I didn't mean to bring back bad memories." Darm bowed a little to show he was truly sorry. "It's just that…"
"Just that…what?" asked C.C. speaking for the first time since she had arrived.
"If that is truly you wish then," Darm banged 3 times on the door behind him, "wish granted."
The door opened a crack then flew wide open. 2 girls stepped out both carrying a pizza. They both put their pizza near C.C. who promptly started gorging her self. Then they walked over to their chairs and sat down, one girl next to Suzaku, one next to Lelouch.
"It's a great likeness," said Suzaku, "but it's no replacement for the original."
"Suzaku, I am the original," said Euphy.
Suzaku smiled. "No, you're not. The real Euphy died, I watched it happen. It was a nice gesture," he said, turning to Darm, "but I don't want a replacement. I've accepted her death."
"What?" asked Darm. Turning his attention from Lelouch's face, which was turning colors. Lelouch couldn't breath due to Shirley hugging him too tightly.
"It's a good copy though. Is it a robot or maybe a clone?" Suzaku was observing Euphy.
"No, Suzaku. That's the original. I brought her back, same as Shirley." Darm was completely serious.
Lelouch looked at Shirley. "That's impossible!"
"No it's not. Allow me to explain." Darm began pacing. "You see Geass comes from code, but where do you think code comes from? The answer is from a black code." Darm stopped, his back toward the table, and pulled back his hair reviling a code of jet black. "Someone with a code can grant a geass, but someone with a black code can grant a code. And if someone died of unnatural causes while under the influence of geass someone with a black code can bring them back to life by granting them a code. So I brought these 2 back to life."
Everyone was stunned yet again that night.
"To be honest, there are 2 reasons I brought you all here tonight." Darm was looking solemn. "The first was to help these 2 be reintroduced to the world and the second was that I need an army." Just then the clock struck midnight.
Authors note: If anyone saw that coming from last chapter I owe you 10$. I can't belive how quickly i'm getting this done. I might even get another chapter done by the end of the week. As always please review i like the feed back and you all lose the game.
P.S. Regarding my P.S. from last week about the novel. I have decided that the first 3 people to PM me and tell me they're interested will get a copy of everything i have done up to this point. (About 11 chapters 50+ pgs total) These people have to tell me what they think though and can't post it anywhere on the internet. I will have a total of 5 reviewers, one is a close friend of mine, i've already chosen another and the rest are up for grabs.
