Code Geass:
"Ugh, we'll never get anywhere at this rate!" Kallen moaned. The three were sitting on a park bench.
"Relax, Kallen I know he's close." C.C could feel her code tingling. "I'm going to try and get him into C's world. I just hope I don't have to do what I did last time."
"What's that?" Kallen tilted her head.
"Get shot and then kiss him." C.C shrugged. Kallen stared at her. "Oh I know that you've kissed him too." C.C stared at the sky. "You don't need to be ashamed." She smiled, teasingly. Suzaku stared at them both. C.C was laughing, Kallen was blushing furiously.
"Seriously? Both of you?"
"Oh like you wouldn't kiss Lelouch if he was a girl!"
"I would not!"
"Yeah, I believe you!" C.C stared at her phone. It was getting late. "We should head back. We'll sleep in the Knightmares." The rest of the group agreed. Suzaku wondered what Lelouch would look like if he were a girl. What would Suzaku look like if he were a girl? Suzaku shuddered.
L stared out onto the dark water. Why had his so called friends acted like that? His hand had stopped glowing. It still stung. But L wondered whether he was just stinging from the cold, or anger. He supposed he should head to his shed. He sighed. Best get some sleep. The girls should be gone by now.
Upon arrival he immediately climbed into his bed. He hadn't realised how tired he was. What was the time? Oh well. L shut his eyes and drifted into a light and uneasy sleep. He didn't dream.
In the morning, Kallen dressed quickly to make it seem like she had been up for ages. She popped out of her knightmare and lowered herself onto the ground where Suzaku was sitting on a log.
"Morning" He smiled
"Morning" Yawned Kallen "How did you sleep?"
"Quite well surprisingly. It turns out Lloyd had put a mode on the Lancelot that turns the cockpit into a bed."
"Really? So did Rakshata!"
"I wonder whose idea it was…"
"We'll probably never know." Kallen sighed and glanced over at where C.C's gentle snores could still be heard from "So she's still asleep?"
"Yeah. I think she's trying to reach Lelouch." Suzaku looked at the sun dappled grass, moist with dew.
"So how long have you been up?"
"Couple of hours."
"What's the time?"
"Quarter to seven"
"So I'm not that late then."
"Nah." Suzaku chuckled and then a noise came from C.C's knightmare. C.C emerged, fully dressed.
"I couldn't connect with Lelouch. I think it's because he has amnesia so he can't enter the world of C unless he remembers it. Or he's been up all night." She locked the Shinkero and sighed. "I say that if we haven't found him by three O'clock this afternoon, we call him."
"Yeah, sounds good." The others agreed.
"Let's go find some breakfast. I have some money." Kallen grabbed a purse out of the Guren and shoved it in her pocket. Suzaku also grabbed a small bag and shoved it into his pocket as did C.C.
"Let's get going then" Suzaku said with determination.
L woke up feeling a bit dizzy. He wasn't sure why. He felt like he had been grabbed at during the night. But there was no proof to that. L left the shed and trudged down the road to the soup kitchen. Unaware that two inquisitive eyes were following him. Two eyes that belonged to Artemis. "The girls are so Love-struck that they don't suspect a thing but there is something odd about him." Artimis spoke quietly to himself. He then saw an odd crowd of teenagers cross his line of sight. They looked the same age as L and Boy did Artimis get weird vibes when they passed. They looked kind of weird too. The two girls had very odd shades of hair. The green eyed Japanese boy was the only one to look normal. Artimis decided to leave L for now and silently stalked the three young adults.
"I thought I saw Lelouch" The boy sighed
"Just wishful thinking, Suzaku." Groaned the pink haired girl.
"I don't know. He might be somewhere close by." The other girl turned to them and did something quite odd. She tapped her forehead and the others seemed to understand it. Artimis wandered out to them.
"Oh look!" Smiled the brown haired boy, now known to be Suzaku. His face then fell. The pink haired girl put her hand on his shoulder
"Are you thinking of Eupimia or Arthur?" She asked gently
"Bit of both. Euphie loved cats. The first one I met with her was actually Arthur."
"It's alright." The blue eyed girl couldn't seem to think of anything else to say.
"Hey there." The girl not involved in the conversation bent down and held a finger out to the white cat. "Don't mind them. They knew a cat. Doesn't look one bit like you though." Artimis looked up at the girl. Her hair was green. Artimis wasn't sure what else to say about her. No wonder she hid it under a hat. A dying accident maybe? Artimis sniffed the odd girl's finger politely. She smiled
"Don't suppose you've seen Lelouch" She laughed as Artimis let her stroke him. Artimis was thinking about her words. They were looking for someone. Who was Lelouch?
"Artimis!" Came a familiar voice. Mina came running down the road. "Oh hello." She looked at the green haired girl who stood up.
"This is your cat?" She smiled
"Yes. He ran off earlier."
"Would it be rude if I asked the name of your cat?"
"Not at all. It's Artimis."
"So it's a girl?"
"No. Why would you think that?"
"Artimis is the GODDESS of the moon in Greek mythology. It's a girl's name." She smirked. Her two friends then came up beside her. They smiled at Mina.
"Sorry to bother you" Smiled the boy awkwardly as he nudged his friend. She nodded and the three walked away.
"Is Artimis really a girl's name?" Mina looked down at her cat
"Shut up" He muttered.
"C.C why? Just why?" Kallen pleaded
"Hey I didn't name her male cat after a woman" She raised an eyebrow.
"Guys focus. What do you want to eat?" Suzaku turned the girls' attention back to the café.
"One mini pizza please and a coffee" C.C decided
"An egg salad sandwich and a coffee please" Kallen muttered
"A chicken sandwich and black coffee please" Suzaku handed the money over to the person serving.
"Ok so I say, we call off the three O'clock thing and call Lelouch now. Get this over with." Kallen was starting to become impatient.
"I understand where Kallen's coming from. It makes more sense than just wondering around."
"Alright. But first let's eat. Also decide who should call Lelouch" C.C nibbled on her pizza.
"I think it should be you, C.C. As much as I hate saying this, you knew him the best." Kallen picked up her sandwich. Suzaku nodded through a mouthful of his sandwich. The pizza eating girl smiled. She had thought they'd say that. She explained that it might work if they all called Lelouch if the previous caller couldn't make him listen. They would call within an hour of each other and put forth an elaborate plan, first, C.C would call and say 'I know you. I know your past. Would you like to know more?' If he said no, which he probably wouldn't she would say 'alright. You will get a call in one hour, not from me but from an old friend. She's very worried. I will then call and give you the same offer. Don't expect answers from her over the phone by the way. Until then.' They would then wait an hour and call again on Kallen's phone. Kallen would then talk to him and act as someone trying to find him without giving anything away. Even though she was a good actress anyway this didn't require much acting as she was a worried friend looking for him anyway. She planned to not say much and act as if she were on voicemail and couldn't hear him. C.C would then deliver the same offer again in the same words. If he still refused C.C would say 'Fine. At least wait one more hour until the other friend with me calls. He is also very worried. I will give you the same offer. You know the drill. If you still say no then give me a way to prove we are your friends.' And then an hour later Suzaku would call and do the same as Kallen and C.C would call again. And say one word to him. 'Well?' Lelouch would then say his answer. He would not refuse. If he did, and that is an if bigger than Kallen's Guren and Suzaku's Lancelot combined. They would do his demand to prove they were his friends. The trio had finished their meal and had gone to somewhere more private. C.C had just pulled out her phone when…
*CRASH*
The ground shook.
"An earthquake?" Shouted one civilian in terror
"It can't be, nothing showed up on the forecast!" Called another. A figure came round the corner. It was a woman. She had grey skin and black hair. She wore a full body suit that was the same colour as the darkest crevice. She seemed to be floating in the air.
"She's flying? But that's…" Suzaku trailed off as the woman lifted her hands and out of the street rose a monster the size of Tokyo tower (Which, the three noticed, wasn't wrecked anymore) the beast started attacking everything around it.
"We have to get the knightmares" Suzaku told the others, who nodded. The group ran to where their knightmares stood. Each pilot quickly started up their machines.
"Lancelot is ready to launch" Suzaku said into his headpiece.
"The Guren is ready to launch" Kallen's voice came over the channel.
"The Shinkero is ready" C.C said. All three knightmares took off together. "Stay above the cloud layer until we are at the sight." C.C ordered. The others did as she said and the three pilots flew above the heavy clouds until the strange monster could be spotted. Suddenly a body broke through the cloud layer. Suzaku, acting on instinct caught the girl and looked at her. She had bright blonde hair that was tied in buns on the top of her head that led to ponytails all the way down to her feet. Inside the buns seemed to be a giant red gem of some sort and she wore a bizarre outfit. A white short sleeved top with a blue collar. Her miniskirt was blue and her necktie was as red as her boots and the gem on her golden tiara. She also wore long white gloves. Suzaku ignored this odd outfit and turned on his speaker to talk to her.
"Hey, are you alright?"
Serena had no idea what was going on. She was sitting in the palm of a giant white robot. A teen's voice was coming out of it asking her how she was. Well let's see. She had just been blasted into the sky by a giant monster while her friends were still down there trying to fight.
"What's going on?" She demanded.
"Oh, right I guess you guys don't have… Well, anyway." His voice faded. The Sailor scout was just about to interrogate this weirdo when her friends came bursting through the cloud layer.
"KALLEN, C.C OVER HERE!" The robot yelled, catching some of the scouts. Serena hadn't even noticed the other two robots. One was a glossy black and the other was a reddish pink. They both darted back and caught the remaining flying scouts. The others were just as surprised as Serena.
"Who are you?" Demanded Rei.
"Oh how polite" muttered C.C, flicking on her speaker. Kullen did the same.
"Let's just find somewhere safe to put you guys down. Come on." Kullen huffed.
"Put us down there!" Demanded the one with blue hair.
"Alright." Suzaku flew down to the requested spot and let the girls down. His friends did the same.
"Kururugi, let's go." C.C turned off her speakers, as did the other two. The three knightmares took off and headed to the battle ground.
The beast was easily overwhelmed by the three robots. The woman was silently finished off by the scouts, the three pilots didn't notice this and disappeared as soon as the monster was gone. Needless to say that they left behind a startled crowd.
