And here's part two of this odd little brain fart of mine. Just don't get too comfortable with this fanfic, it'll probably be a while longer before another chapter would be written.
Yeah, it's short and sweet. Not like this legal add on.

Move Four: The RetaliationIt was the twilight hour of the Second Pacific War between Japan and Britannia. As before, the war swung badly against Japan as her lands were now occupied with Britannian infantry and armor, with the revolutionary weapon platform Knightmare Frame leading the charge. The autonomous armored knight was an advantage the already powerful imperial war machine had against the near defeated east Asian nation, whose only victory in what would soon be known as the Miracle of Itsukushima only delayed the inevitable.
This only astonished Nunnally as she was able to sneak past Genbu Kururugi's security guards and into his personal study. However, it would pale compared to what the young princess would discover within such a sanctum.
"There will be a conference in two days at Shinjuku." Genbu reported through the cellphone. "If you attack there, you can clean up all of the government officials who support Japan." There was a pause as the final prime minister of Japan listened to the other party. "Yes, your majesty. All hail Britannia."
This was certainly not how she recalled those alien memories Daehoth had given her when this journey had begun. Was it also another consequence of traveling into the past? Either way, what she must do is even of greater importance than to stop a delusional man from declaring a do-or-die resistance against Britannia. This was far worst.
"Is this how you serve Japan? Your countrymen?" Genbu was naturally surprised to not only hear, but also see Nunnally in his personal study. He internally wondered just how she had gotten past his security. "By betraying them to Britannia? To my father, the emperor?"
Genbu chuckled before he responded. "You of all people should know just how powerful Britannia is upon the world stage. How could Japan win against a superpower that controls a third of the entire planet? Better to be a servant to the empire than to simply die a pointless death, and with what I've given Britannia I may even be granted peerage."
"So it's selfish desires then." Nunnally concluded.
"So what? Everyone desires a better life." Genbu defended.
"No, you deserve to RECALL!" Nunnally commanded.
Genbu could not even begin to ponder what this young political hostage of an ex-princess had planned. However, a flood of alien memories began to fill his mind and he saw his own death. A different death by the hands of his own son for a different reason, a different cause. Then a knife wound emerged grotesquely from his torso, blood and visceral began to flow from the newly ruptured cavity as he fell to his knees in agony. However, that was only the start of his torment as he spontaneously combusted, the flames of his funeral pyre enshrouded him as he screamed in agony shared by those accused of witchcraft and other heresies in medieval Europe.
His thrashes only drew the attention of his personal guard who had now entered the room and discovered Genbu wreathed in flames that erupted from his own body. In their panic, they did not notice Nunnally's presence nor did they register her leave from the scene of the crime.
After all, in Nunnnally's mind it was no more than what the traitorous prime minister of Japan deserved. Who knows? Perhaps Suzaku would not become the ideological fool that plagued her brother so much in the previous past, since he no longer held the sin of patricide upon his own hands to atone.
And that'll be what happens when Nunnally recalls someone who had died previously in the timeline. Now that I think of it, Mao's not gonna like his encounter with Nunnally as well, considering the gaping gunshot wound to the side of his neck and such.
Still, it is a thought as to what would Suzaku's philosophy be if he did not kill his own father with his own hands. Though then again, if the Nightmare of Nunnally manga is to be believed, it's not that different from canon though I don't personally recall too much suicidal actions on his part.
Anywho, that'll be it for Nunnally's little trip into the altered past for now. Probably be equally as long or longer before we see what goes on next in this little pseudo-nostalgia trip with demon powers. Will she do any more actions that alter the destiny of others? Will she make any more meaningful differences?
I'm sure there are other writers out there that would love to answer those questions and more *hint, hint*.
