Chapter 4
Alcatraz, Holy britannian Empire Homeland, San Francisco.
Alcatraz a heavily fortified prison holding dangerous people as well as political opponents. These dangerous people were just a disguise for what really was going on in the prison.
In the deep depths of the prison an underground area known as the Dark Prison to the prisoners of Alcatraz. To them, the "Dark Prison" was full of the most dangerous of them all but they didn't know who. The guards were hesitant to even guard the door. The only people to ever step in there was new prisoners or prisoners deemed a plight to the warden was sent to the dark prison never to be seen again. Then there was Schnitzel the emperor of the world. The only one that ever leaves that place. This got people of the prison thinking that there's someone of importance to the emperor.
In the 'Dark Prison,' a man in his late 20's plays chess with a fellow inmate. This man is known as Lelouch Vi Britannia. Moving a black knight to his fellow inmate's white bishop he opened the way to getting him into checkmate. He moved the castle and his bishop Lelouch checkmated him. His fellow inmate's king had nowhere to go his own pieces trap it.
"Lelouch you should give that man a break" a feminine voice was heard on the other end of the table they were playing on. Lelouch look towards the voice and it was Cornelia
"He keeps challenging me." he replied with a smile "though he hasn't broken his 74th lose streak" looking back to the inmate with the same smile. He inmate rolled his eyes.
"Welp I'll be leaving then," the inmate said getting up from his chair and the light shone on his face. His orange hair was messy and has brown eyes. He looked around his mid 30's and wore the white britannian straight jacket. "You and Cornelia have some business to attend too."
"Thank you for the game Zack," Lelouch said waving Zack goodbye then looking back to Cornelia after Zack walked out. "Care for a game?"
"No thank you, Lelouch," she said waving him off and sitting down where Zack had sat.
Lelouch looked to Cornelia. She was quite different then before. Her purple hair was messy and was getting quite antsy.
"Cornelia what's wrong?" he said
"I" she sighed " I can't take this anymore. Th-this place. This prison and Schnitzel. I know you've got a geassed person to escape the facility a month ago to get someone to help us but why can't we take over the prison and work from there?"
Lelouch knew that she was getting quite sick of this place even he was. Schnitzel came down to this prison two days every month. He gave the run down of what was happening in the world. It was the utopia propaganda he was fed but Lelouch never believed and Schnitzel new it. Everytime Schnitzel comes down it's like a silent mocky to Lelouch.
"Look Cornelia if we do get this prison under our control then schnitzel would just fire a Fleija warhead on the prison. It's the perfect excuse. We need to get everyone that in this prison loyal to me or you to have a quick escape when the Damocles lands for supplies. That is the only time to do it and we can not do it without help from the outside." Lelouch pause giving time for Cornelia to register the information. "With my sources in the prison up top said that they only have knightmare frames and tower defences to stop any riots and or escapes. The only way of this rock is by boat."
"I see so you've thought this through like always" she laughed a bit.
"I have. You should know me better then that" he smiled. He then his face went neutral. "How has the new inmate settled in? The one with the light red hair i believe."
"He has woken up and has began roaming around" she stated
"Very good "he replied rubbing his chin.
"Your planning something," she said noticing the chin rub. He simply smiled back. She let out a short laugh. "You never change"
Mr Fox or Michael Fox walked around greeting other prisoners which were quite strange. This people were nice. He always thought that a lot of the prisoners would start punch ups and kill each other. The fact that there was no guards in this underground area would make the others more likely to kill someone.
Apparently, the people up top think of this as the dark prison. Were people go to die or something like that. Thinking about this place, it's like a separate smaller. This the kitchen, bathroom, showers, the cells, and the giant room where everyone eats, play around even exercise. But their was one room that people stay out of.
The guy showing him around noticed him looking to the door and spoke up "now that is somewhere everyone here stays away from. Not out of fear but out of respect."
"What do you mean?" Fox questioned
"Well in there is a guy that everyone respects."
"One guy huh?" the fox said looking more closely to the door to the room. "Who is he?"
"He is known as Lelouch Vi Britannia"
"Lelouch… Vi Britannia. A royal down here!" exclaimed fox "whys a royal down here?"
"Well actually there's two royals" the other replied
"Another?!"
"Yes there is"
"Who?"
"Cornelia li Britannia"
"The witch of Britannia?"
"No one calls her that down here"
"I see,"
Fox looked towards the down and frowned 'two royals in this prison. Why are they here?'
Area 11, Holy Britannian Empire.
A man watches from afar were nightmares entering a hanger bay in the side of narita mountains. The man smirks pleased at what he has found. You can almost see the red glow around his eyes.
"The Orange has been located"
Nova base, Narita Mountains, Area 11
Jeremiah watches as the nova doctors patch up the ace of the Black Knights Kallen Kozuki. He is quite worried for the young mistress life. She was if one of the loyal follows of Zero, of Lelouch. If she were to die it would make him feel like he had failed his master again for the second time.
The door was open to bringing Jeremiah out of his remicing. The door revealed to be a lieutenant and he quickly approaching him.
"Commander Jeremiah Sir!" the lieutenant said saluting. Jeremiah motioned him to continue. "Base Captain Eve requests you to see her on the command bridge. She says it's regent!"
"Thank you lieutenant" he replied sighing "i'll be on my way in a minute"
The lieutenant saluted once more and left. Jeremiah looked back at the bandaged red headed woman on the bed. He closed and then reopened them sighing. He then left the room heading for the command bridge.
A few minutes later he was on the command bridge and something was different and off. The lights were off. He called out to the base captain but found her next to the door, that's how dark it was. Jeremiah quickly activated one of his swords believing there to be an intruder but was stop when the captain placed a hand on his shoulders.
"There's no need," she said shaking her head. She motioned him to follow her "Follow me"
He nodded following her up to the command chair and looked towards to where the giant monitor would be. He saw three silhouettes. He frowned. No one except the captain, him and those three were in the room the other command staff where gone.
Suddenly the lights turned on showing the three silhouettes. The one on the left was a female with long brown hair and blue eyes. The man on the right had white hair and had blue eyes. They both wore the Black knight uniform. The man in the middle was someone that Jeremiah would never think he would see again. It was Zero.
Before Jeremiah could bow or do anything like that Zero motion Captain Eve to leave. She looked a bet offend that she couldn't stay but understood the importance. When she left Zero faced Jeremiah once more and sawt hat he was struggling to not say "my lord" and bow. To make Jeremiah stress even more zero slowly removed his mask and reveal his face.
The face that was revealed made Jeremiah go and kneel before him. Zero saw this and smiled at his loyalty. "Jeremiah rise," he said
Jeremiah looked like he was about to tear up. "My lor-" Jeremiah never got to finish when Zero interrupted him.
"Im sorry, Jeremiah but your loyalty is to someone else, not me" Zero said confusing Jeremiah.
"What do you mean?" Jeremiah questioned
"I mean that your loyalty lies with Lelouch Vi Britannia not Zero. Not me" Zero replied
"But you are Lelouch are you not" Jeremiah tilted his head in confusion.
"I look like Lelouch but i am not Lelouch i am Zero. i'm only here to get your support in rescuing the real Lelouch Vi Britannia the one where loyalty lies."
"So are you saying that you are a fake?" Jeremiah frowned
"No, i would say that i am a clone with the memories and ideals of Zero. i was created to save Lelouch and create a better world."
"I'll give me support to saving the real Lelouch," he said getting up from his kneeling position "but do tell me how there is a clone"
"I'll tell you when the time comes. Yes?"
Jeremiah nodded.
