Code Geass

Chapter 4

Lelouch made his way into his room, grateful to survive another day of school without a complete break down. C.C. sat on his bed, kicking her legs in the air as if there was not a care in the world. Looking over at him with her usual glance, she could feel the aura of dismay surrounding him.

"What's wrong, Lelouch?" she asked. When he did not immediatly answer though, she looked out a window. "The same dream again?"

"Do you have an answer for it, C.C.?" Lelouch asked empty minded, sitting at his desk to go over the family lineage again. If he was right, then the Britanian Empire was coming to a close faster than he could imagine.

"I have a useful peice of information that you can use." she whispered, spotting a man coming towards the front door. Jumping from the bed, she began to leave to answer it. "The Geass can not be disobeyed. Ancient energy mixed with the body's life force can create amazing miracles. Think about this Lelouch."

Then she left down stairs to answer the doorbell.

The room was abnormally silent for all that was going on, however Lelouch's mind was trying to understand C.C.'s given statement even though his soul cared less.

The aroma of Pizza Hut made it's way through the house and into his room and Lelouch began to wonder how it was that she hadn't died yet from the fat.

This is because she possesses the Geass which gives her that ancient power that she was talking about earlier.

Geass...what a powerful way to work. There is no resisting it. But even so, to be under the influence and order of living, the human body should not be able to survive a bullet to the heart.

But C.C. has survived multiple methods of death.

"What are you thinking of Lelouch?" asked C.C., now hand in hand with a decently sized peice of pizza. Lelouch hadn't even notice her come in.

"I have figured out how you are still alive, C.C."

She looked up at him with a tilted expression. "Oh really?"

"You..." However he was cut off to find that the logic that was earlier racing through his head had now seemed to abandon him. Even if she was under the influence of geass to carry life forever, she wouldn't have lived through all of that.

"Your on the right track, Lelouch."

He looked up, trying to remember back to what she had mentioned earlier. Something about an ancient power.

"Good Lelouch. Now add this all together."

Lelouch smiled, his brain racking him even if he tried to hide it in his emotion. "Even an idiot could have figured this out, I was simply looking for something more."

"Your a liar, Lelouch Vi Britannia-"

"Don't." She looked up at the man who suddenly hid his face. She could feel the sudden anger rushing from his soul. "Don't ever call me that again."

There was an awkward moment of silence between the two as if it was the end of the world. However, C.C. wished to regain her appetite, so she spoke again to try to clear up the situation they had put themselves in.

"The energy of the Geass can mix with the human spirit to create something like a human god."

"Is that what you are? A goddess under the influence of Geass?"

"No. I am a witch." she answered bluntly. "But you weren't looking for an answer regarding my life. Perhaps this has enlightened you towards the life style that Suzaku is living."

Before he could express the sudden hatred and fear in his heart, the door bell rang, shortly followed by a mechanical voice demanding his evacuation of the house.

"You don't want to answer that," whispered C.C., still munching away at her pizza.

Lelouch ran towards the window, looking outside and finding four Knightmares outside of the front door. Panic filled his heart.

Damn you Suzaku! Damn you all the way to hell! Then abandoning his curses towards the living dead, he called to C.C.

"Do not be lazy. If you want me to live, then save Nanaly!" he ordered, heading towards the back door.

"Come out now Lelouch. We know who you are!"

His heart grew heavy, his stomach dancing angrily. Something was wrong...of course it was! He was caught!

He ran as fast as he could, fearing now for his life. This wasn't right! It wasn't right!

Karin, why aren't you here when you are needed!? Rushing into the basement area, he found both of the Burai in tact. His sister was safe for they did not know she lived past the night of his mother's murder.

Engaging the defense and energy, he blasted a hole into the ground, made his way in there, then flew through the surface and into clear air.

"There he goes! Capture him!"

Lelouch cursed as he had never been good enough with these contraptions. That was Karin's job.

Suddenly, a shot attatched to thick wire sped around him, wrapping the Burai in place. It was already over.

So that is that, Lelouch confided with his self. Eyes wide, tears heavy and hands shaking, he could hear the bells ringing and he knew his time was coming to an end.

They began to real his Burai in as if it were a fish. He couldn't help but be embarrassed by their triumph. Zero, captured defensless. Zero, captured like a fish! A FISH!

He screamed, overly frustrated and supremely upset. It was over! It was all over and he had lost! The king had failed him!

"Zero...has lost."

"You must live!" came C.C.'s strong voice over the radio.

It was so quick that Lelouch hardly had time to react to anything. It seemed instant, that the wires were sliced through, that all of the Knightmares were now focused on a second Burai and a third Burai...no the Guren Nishiki now stood with both Sayoko and Nanaly in hand.

Karin? Not you too.

"Run now Lelouch! We will meet again!" hissed C.C. over the radio.

It was a tough decision, leaving them all behind, but if Zero was to succeed, he would have to live and continue to reign as the leader of the Order of the Black Knights.

"Arigatou," he whispered before leaving and taking off at full speed towards the unknown.
