Chapter 4: My Red Queen

Suppose there is an evil that justice cannot bring would you do? Would you taint your hands with evil to destroy evil? Or would you carry out your own justice and succumb to that evil?.

-Lelouch Lamperouge (Code Geass)

A/N: I honestly have no idea what Kallen would wear that's not Ashford uniform, Pilot Uniform, Black knight Uniform, a bunny suit, and shorts with a yellow tank top. I would say use your own imagination but...oh and CC is wearing the same cloths when she met Mao at the Amusement park that one episode...forgot rewatch another time.

Undisclosed location in Italy

Normal POV

" Great seeing you again, my queen." The raven haired man spoke in a black formal suit and holding red roses.

Kallen was wearing a crimson red jacket, red short sleeve shirt and black form-fitting pants. She drops everything she was holding and ran towards him and leap into his open arm.

They enjoy each other embraces, with either not wanting to let go. Kallen's arms wrap around Lelouch's neck, as Lelouch's arms were wrapped around her back. Soft blue eye meet amethyst as they stare lovingly and finally lock lips.

It's has been 6 years. She is left to hide a child that would be targeted because of her father noble sacrifice. A sweet innocent child, under the watch of a not so sweet innocent witch. Kallen would have been on the brink of depression as the only man she loves has died betraying her, betraying everyone. The other two-man she loved was her brother Naoto, who died in a Britannian military raid that save her and every member of the Shinjuku Terrorist cell. And her father, who perish in the FLEIJA strike in Pendragon.

How she lie to everyone but her mother about the father of her child. She remembers a few time Liliana would ask who her father is. Only to have the question dodge with a distraction or an 'I tell you later' that's never answered. She honestly believes that Lelouch died and his last memory is the little girl with his eyes. Now he standing right in front of her alive and well. She can feel that he actually have a slightly muscular build now. She doesn't know whether to slap him and yell at him to explain why and how he's alive or cry on his chest.

Lelouch understands what Kallen is going through. How he keep losing the ones closest to him and then force the only person he thought he have left away. He know that despite the peace brought by his death, he knew all his mistake, all his lies will catch on. He learns for Jeremiah that what left of the Geass Order are resurrecting, not every single member of the royal family perish and are conspiring to take the throne. And their still unknown variable that suspect his death was nothing but a lie. But for now he enjoys the peace.

Then, someone steps out the plane in casual cloths. She was Japanese with short black hair.

"I'm your Pilot, Sayoko Gottwald-Shinozaki" She bowed, " It's an honor meeting mas-I mean Lelouch mistress mother."

Moments later, A pink Ferrari then pulls up alongside the plane. And a 21-year-old beautiful women with pink hair step out and looking at her hot pink smartphone, which replace her heart shaped flip phone. It got the attention of Kallen as she broke off of their passionate kiss to look.

"Anya?" She notices, the girl, now beautiful young lady did a small wave with her left hand as she continued to stare intensely at the phone.

" Oh right, Musical Accompaniment" Anya walk over to her car and play 'Continued Story - Hitomi'.

" A bit too late Anya," Lelouch commented the pink hair girl chose of music.

" Just continue what you two lovebirds were doing." She said, " My dad and mom don't want any recording of your meeting...as much as it pains me to still record everything I see and blog about it. This is the next best thing. Besides, the song makes this a lot more romantic and cuter. I can't tell if you and CC or Kallen look perfect for each other."

" CC?", She questioned

" His wife...even before they got married," Sayoko explained learning how CC treat Lelouch when they first met.

" Would that mean…"

" Actually, CC another reason why he continued to live. And the reason he was so successful as Zero and Emperor." Sayoko continued, " Lelouch or his new name RR, can't decide between the two because he love both of them dearly."

"For a brief moment there, I thought it sound like my daughter fiancee was into harems. So is she responsible for Lelouch Geass and his fake death?" a perplex asked

" Le-RR allow me to share this with you so… CC is immortal and gives Lelouch's geass." Sayoko interjected as she observe shock expression," And Lelouch did die and he was reborn as RR."

Meanwhile, Lelouch and Kallen separated from each other as Kallen struggle to figure out what to tell him first. So she asks the obvious.

" Lelouch, It not very romantic that you brought a van to pick me and my mom up." She pointed out, " If Anya got a Ferrari, you set us up on a private jet, and funds from your treasury as Emperor. Why a van?"

" Oh, it not the van that's important. It's what inside." Lelouch turns to the van, " It time."

A man with red hair and blue eyes step out the van with crutches. He was wearing a beige coat, dress shoe, and black pants. Another feature she notices is how he seem to lose his left leg, below the knee.

"How?"

" My daughter." He said calmly and then he locked eyes with Ms. Kozuki. Who approach the thought to be dead husband, " My love, I'm sorry for being missing this last 6 years"

" I don't care!" Ms. Kozuki interjected before wrapping her arm around the man, " I-we thought we lost you."

" I barely escape the FLEIJA. But when I did...I lost my left leg, my memory, and almost my life. I gain it back last year when he and that green hair girl restored my memory."

" Father." Kallen was trying hard not to cry, she make a mental note to herself when she was arriving not to. But Lelouch pulls something unexpected. How can she mentally prepare for not one man she loved dearly, but two thought to die. She feels her heart would explode with joy if Naoto was also alive. "I don't know what to say. I-I I'm at a lost." She wipe away a single tear and look down.

then walk( limp) over to Kallen were he put one arm on her shoulder gaining Kallen attention, " I'm sorry for leaving, for marrying her, and my absence; for 6 years and for my business elsewhere. I love your mother, but I was forced to marry that bitch to keep my title as earl. I choose my wealth, my pride, over family and it leads to my true love being abused and addicted to refrain. Even when I try to send her away, to protect her. She wanted to stay in order to watch you when I'm on business trips. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have chosen wealth over blood. I lose everything now, but I didn't lose you two. It's the only thing I care about now..and the granddaughter I keep hearing about."

" I'm glad we are back together. There no need to apologize. We are all at fault." Ms. Kozuki was beside Kallen as she place her right arm on hers shoulder as she turns to her mother and smiled.

" I'm just glad everything turn out for the best" Ms. Kozuki responded, " Le-RR-sans, what are we really traveling in?"

" The transportation shown arrive in...now!" Lelouch who seem to plan everything, down to the second, motion to a black limousine, with the driver being someone that very familiar.

" Ms. Kozuki, Jeremiah Gottwald-Shinozaki" A man with a golden monocle like device on his left eye introduces as he exits the limo. He was wearing a white suit and tie, " I'll show you your accommodation. The city of Venice is nearby and so is the hotel you and your daughter gonna be staying."

" What about Lelouch place?" Kallen question.

" CC and Lelouch, RR in public, live in a small cottage on a small farm with a few horses, farm animals, and an essential amount of crops, in CC home village. It only has room for two people and it's almost remote. Almost because CC hallucinate when not around a pizza. So either Lelouch make homemade pizza or they walk to the nearest Pizza Hut, 5 miles North."

"Oh of course…" Kallen then has a shocking revelation about what Liliana may be eating every day with that witch."Oh, GOD!"

Back in Tokyo

Late Morning

Liliana was locked in the bathroom with a bad stomachache.

" Owwww!"

CC then knock on the door, " Are you okay?"

" No"

" Pizza?"

" Yes"

" Was it good?"

"Yes, Oowww"

" When you are done, I'll drop you off at school on your mom motorcycle." CC finding the keys to Kallen custom-made motorcycle that have the same color scheme to her Guren.

" School's 5 hours ago." She said through the door.

" Oh, Then I'll call in sick." CC then added, "When you do get out, I'll keep my promise to take you to the amusement park."

" Y-you're the best!" Lily declare as another wave of pain caused her to moan in agony.

Besides, how else am I gonna get a new cheese-kun, CC thought.

Back to Kallen

"Kallen, I sense it too. We showed not trust CC to take care of our child." Lelouch felt sudden dread from halfway around the world.

After the plane was moved to a small hanger on the abandoned secret airfield, All of Kallen and luggage were in the van with her father driving(you only need one leg to drive) and Ms. Kozuki on the passenger side.

While Jeremiah drove the limo with Sayoko on the passenger side. Anya was already far ahead as she sped off in her Ferrari. Kallen and the former emperor are in the back of the limo reminiscing about old time and what happened the last 6 years.

" That's a lie." RR(Lelouch) has a dumbstruck expression, " No way Rivalz can pull THAT much off."

" It was more of Milly desperation to get out of arrange marriage." Kallen continues, " It was either a fat noble pig or Rivalz. Who either fortunately or, unfortunately, was in claw length of Milly."

" I pray for him. So what the baby name?"

" They're twins and both girls."

Two Milly's...The universe gonna explode.

" There names are Angel and Angie."

" So, what about Cornelia?" Lelouch asked realizing she may be very depressed about losing Euphy and Guilford...because of his geass.

" Married to Guilford and have a baby, girl."

" Guilford alive?"

" He is and they name the baby girl Euphemia."

A smile appears across Lelouch's face," I wonder if she gonna grow up to be just like Euphy."

" Most likely, Cornelia maybe trying to shape her into her late sister. Kind of creepy, but people deal with loss differently."

" Anything else?"

" CC got into what sound like a car chase...With Liliana in the front seat."

"..." Lelouch with a blank expression trying to find a word for what he just heard. Liliana is his daughter too, and if something happens to her, CC will be cut to pieces(via chainsaw), put in concrete mixtures and spread throughout the world.

" CC called 3 hours from a payphone before we landed, saying she and Liliana are okay."

" She better."

" Now it's my turn to ask questions."

" Fair enough."

" What Sayoko, Anya, and Jeremiah doing here?"

" Family vacation and helping a not really poor farmer out."

" Next question, how are you alive? I know royalty fake their death in their sleep. But how did you do it?"

Lelouch exhales heavily and was well aware of the question beforehand. He remove his jacket, unbutton his shirt in front of a blushing Kallen who notices a now tone and muscular Lelouch. Lelouch was forced by CC to work out before entering a life of solitude as a farmer. Since once gaining Code, the body would remain the same no matter what happen. And since CC don't want Lelouch to be frail and weak when he'll be doing farm work. He was set on brutal physical under Suzaku and Sayoko guidances in the morning. Which was complemented by CC 'reward training' almost every night. Kallen's eye falls on the ragged, ugly scar on Lelouch's chest. Right, where the heart shown be.

" How is this possible?"

" Simply, I did die."

" I-I don't understand?"

" Then let me tell you about Code and Geass."

Back in Tokyo

" Ready?" CC ask Liliana in a red and white dress.

" Uh-hm" Liliana put on her helmet and held on tightly to CC waist as she start the motorcycle and speed out the driveway.

Once they made it to the amusement park, which was formerly Clovis Land was renamed Zero Amusement Park. They paid for the ticket; with money from someone ring. Then head straight to a stand that give out a large golden cheese-kun to whoever can hit the bullseye on a very small dot on a target broad.

" Are we really gonna win that one!" Liliana pointed to the golden Cheese-kun that bigger then CC.

" Yes, we will." CC give a small smile to Lily, Even if it cost me a fortune.

" AAANNNDDD WE HAVE A PRETTY LADY-" The game announcer was interrupted by CC pulling out a handful of money.

" Dart me."

" Wow, Well then" The man picks up the wad of cash and counted that it would equal about 50 darts with only 5 of those needed to hit the red dot to get the cheese-kun.

" Ready?"

" That Cheese-kun mine"

45 darts later

CC, who usually have an aura of calm and commanding( or how Lelouch put it, bossy), started to have a tear in her mask as a single strand of sweat roll down her face. She looks at the broad as all 45 darts are misses. Only 5 are left and the Cheese-kun is so close, yet so far.

" Nanna? Can I try?" Liliana tugs on CC jacket.

" What I got to lose. Go ahead" As CC hand over the last 5 darts.

Liliana held one dart in her hand as she look at her target with a hawk-like concentration. She then throws the 1st dart. Hit. CC raise an eyebrow in surprise. She analyzes the next target and aim. Hit again. The man was in shock as the little girl seem to hit the 3rd,4th, and 5th consecutively.

" We HAVE A WINNER!" The man tosses the oversize Cheese-kun to Lily as she struggles to gain footing as the sudden wall of plush hit her.

" How?"

" Well. CC-sans, I win because I use my brain and win with less." She pointed to her head and then pointed to CC, " And you did not! Pizza nanny thinks that you have more you win with numbers."

Damn, smart like her father...was he that smart at this age?

Liliana then drags her new Cheese-kun away as CC follow behind pleading with her that she'll buy her a Cheese-kun backpack if she hands over the oversize golden one.

"No, mine, Who that?" Liliana was then distracted as the large screen TVs, were Mao try to slice her to pieces 7 years back. For some reason started to broadcast the news with Milly reporting it.

" It seems that Empress Nunnally, Zero, and Prince Schneizel are exiting the Los Angeles government building after a successful international treaty to supply food, water, and medical aid to-Oh-MY GOD!" If people weren't paying attention before. Everyone quickly turns to the news almost simultaneously.

As if on cue, a strange, yet beautiful white angel-like Knightmare appear out of nowhere with a white figure standing on the shoulder arm with a sniper rifle. It happens so quickly, ever guard, Knightmare, polices was up in arms. As people started to panic, Zero unsheath his sword, the same kind use to kill Lelouch, with the intention of possibly blocking the bullet as he moves in front of Nunnally. That's not far-fetched if he can dodge them. But instead of aiming for Nunnally or Zero the gun fired and hit someone nearby.

Schneizel el Britannia was shot in the chest and collapsed on the stairs of the government building as the White Knightmare then turn on some kind of energy pulse that shut down all the Nightmares and then turn on a cloaking device and speed off.

" I REPEAT SCHNEIZEL EL BRITANNIA HAS BEEN SHOT! I REPEAT SCHNEIZEL EL BRITANNIA HAS BEEN SHOT!"

It as if you can hear the collective shock of the world as everyone gasp in shock and disgust. Liliana looks up at CC with a worry expression and CC look down in fear, fear that Zero Requiem may collapse.

The news continues, " It pandemonium out here!" As Nunnally and Zero are harshly escorted out and Schneizel is immediately rush to the ambulances. The Knightmares seem to still be offline for only a few seconds, which was enough time for whoever it was to escape. As guards and law enforcement try to make sense of the situation and direct people away from the crime scene. The news cut off as a white geass symbol on a black background appear. Then a minute later, something even more shocking appear on screen, it was Zero. But with the opposite color scheme and a large Geass symbol that seem to glow on its visor.

" People of the world! You are all living in a lie!" The voice, mechanical in nature but very audible and charismatic boomed, " WE WILL REVEAL THAT THIS PEACE! IS NOTHING BUT A LIE! Million of lives killed in order to create it! Zero, Empress Nunnally, and even the Black Knights are hiding behind a veil. Just ask yourself, how can the demon emperor, who took over the entire world in a single day would make himself an easy target two months later. A novices sniper can kill the emperor from a high vantage point or even a hail of bullet from small arms in the crowd, and maybe even a rogue Knightmare can make quick work with well aim shot at the throne where he sit high and mighty! But no, Zero appear as if someone who causes much hardship to Britannia happen to get past security with no detection beforehand. Run pass Knightmares that seem to be the worst shot and Lord Gottwald's, who allow it to happen as he lean follow for this new Zero to jump up to Lelouch and impale him. Then order a full retreat soon after. A man who fiercely loyal to the emperor didn't try to kill said assassin."

" He seems to have a point." A man nearby turns to his wife.

" That's impossible. We are not being lied to." A lady nearby said as more people whisper to each other in disbelief.

CC clench her fist fearing this fake Zero is destroy everything Lelouch sacrifice his happiness for.

The fake Zero continue, " My goal is to reveal what is hidden behind the mask of lies. As a matter of fact, the Black Knights...The very arbiter of peace. Are hiding a dark secret. Like the hidden bloodline of the late Emperor. A demon child hid among us. My organization, the Light, will reveal it full might to the world when the time come. If Zero is the will of the people, Then I will be the truth they seek! For I am Eternal."

The power suddenly shut off as the screen when blank, leaving a very confuse crowd of people wondering what this Eternal have spoken. All the joy and harmony disappear from the amusement park, and the world as everyone either condemn the fake Zero or praise him. But everyone now has doubt planted in their mind.

" Is this guy for real?"

" He may just be an anarchist trying to destroy peace."

" He a murderer! He shot the prince!"

" And so did Zero. Who know what Schneizel was planning under the table. Royalty always lying and backstabbing."

" I mean...looking back he did have a point about that damn demon death. It seems so staged."

" CC-sans, I'm scared" Liliana hug her cheese-kun as with one arm and tightly grip CC hand in the other.

" Let just enjoy the rest of the amusement park." CC responded and pull Liliana away from the crowd.

Lelouch looks like you may have to put your backup plan in motion.

A/N: Take a guess on Eternal identity.

Hint: It's not an OC.

And if I read this and found a mistake...like some word for some reason are not there(damn copy and paste)...reedit.
