Chapter 7 - Awakening
[November 15, 2012 - Hideout in East Britannia]
C.C. was being restrained by Matilda in their quarters. She was screaming hysterically.
"C.C.? What's wrong?"
C.C. didn't answer back and continued to scream. Her eyes turned more violet as her screams became louder and louder. It was a good thing the hideout was underground. Suddenly, Matilda's phone rang.
"Who would call in a time like this?" said Matilda as she reached for her phone.
CALLING...
Cecile Asplund - Private Number
Location: Asplund Mansion

[Caverns In Kamine Island]
Rolo grabbed two rifles behind Shirley and Kallen. They both had strange runes written at the stories. 'Deception' was written on the rifle Shirley grabbed and 'Ignorance' on the rifle Rolo kept to himself.
"What are you going to do?" asked Kallen, grabbing Shirley tight on her wrists. Shirley gave her a serious stare, then smirked.
"Like what I said a while ago. Me and Rolo are going to kill this people for you, Lulu." Shirley then shoved Kallen and they began shooting at the crowd.
Thousands of screams were heard. Bullets falling into innocent people, blood flowing everywhere.
"Stop it! Rolo! Shir-" Suddenly, chains rose from the ground, wrapped Kallen's arms, and forced her to the ground. There were runes on the chains again. This time, 'Love' was written on the chains on her left and 'Family' was written on the right. Kallen couldn't move as the people was being slaughtered by the rain of gunfire from his friends. Then, the ground she was laying on became softer and softer until it became a hole. The chains released her and she fell. It was a bottomless, spiral pit. As she looked around, the spirals were filled with thousands of Zero's Mask.
"What does this mean?" said Kallen as she falls helplessly in the pit. Suddenly, voices started to echo again.
It is now your turn...
You will bare the weight of the mask...
Only you are capable of it, Kallen...
She closed her eyes in fear. The voices becoming louder and louder, and a cold breeze kept passing her as the masks came closer to her. Then she felt she had finally fallen on the bottom of the pit. She opened her eyes and saw a beautiful city in front of her. But she was on top of a hill, full of roses.
"K-Kallen?"
She felt someone held on her hand. As she leaned on the right, it was Lelouch. He was holding her hand, sleeping. Tears began flowing from Kallen's face.
"Lelouch. Is it really you?"
"Yes."
Kallen was about to hug him, but Lelouch stopped her.
"What's the matter, Lelouch?"
"You are not here yet." replied Lelouch.
"What do you mean?"
"Envisioning a place you wanted to be gives you courage to continue on. To be here, you will face tremendous pain and suffering. But do you think that this place, this scene, is worth sacrificing for?"
"Of course, Lelouch. This place is worth fighting for."
Lelouch smiled and wiped the tears from Kallen's face.
"I hope you can endure what awaits you in reality."
Then, Lelouch started to disappear.
"Lelouch?" shouted Kallen, trying to hold onto Lelouch, but simply passing through him, like a ghost.
"I will be with you again." replied Lelouch. And a strong light surrounded the place.

Kallen woke up laying down in the beach of Kamine Island. There was no trace of food used in her gear, it was like nothing happened at all. She looked around and saw his companions tied up and unconscious. Kallen checked her watch and saw the date was November 15, 2026 - 11:34 p.m. She then saw a hologram in the middle of them. It was showing a video that was recorded in November 12, 2026.

"We are here live in the newly named capital of Britannia, Dranstrain, where His Excellency will give his first action against rebellion."
The camera then zoomed in on the front door of the palace. There stood Zero, Schneizel, Gino, and Anya.
"All hail Britannia!" shouted Schneizel.
"All Hail Britannia! All hail Schneizel!" the crowd shouted back, who were watching outside the gates of the palace.
"In the wake of the sudden disappearance of Empress Nunnally, I, Schneizel, along with Zero, will lead this country with discipline and force!"
"All hail Zero!"
"I, Schneizel El Britannia, 101th Ruler of Britannia, will show the world an example of what we should do to useless existences!"
About 100 soldiers came out of the palace, and aimed their rifles on three trucks that were placed in the garden.
"This trucks contain rebels who sought to overthrow Empress Nunnally and started a rebellion against them. This reports were given by my new secretaries, Khirs and Hughes."
The crowds cheered as the names of both rulers of West and East Britannia were called.
"Now, Zero, would you kindly lead our soldiers in expelling this fools from the world?" said Schneizel as a soldier gives another rifle to Zero.
"Yes, My Lord." replied Zero. "On my signal, men!"
"Fire!"
The trucks were shot and full of bullet holes. The crowds cheered as the people inside who were trying to rebel against Britannia were shot down.
"All hail Britannia!" shouted Gino and Anya.
"All hail Britannia! All hail Schneizel! All hail Zero!" shouted the crowd.

Kallen could not believe what she saw. She kneeled down and pounded the sand. She screamed and screamed as her eyes cannot believe what she saw. Kallen then stood up and approached her men. But she then realized that they were dead. She stepped back and cried as this events were too much for her.
Suddenly, she heard footsteps. Kallen then saw soldiers have encircled her and had her in their aims. Kallen raised her arms as she was helpless in fighting back. A person wearing a golden mantle approached Kallen and pointed his gun at her.
"Finished with your drama, Kallen?" said the man with a sadistic look in his face.
"G-Gino?"
I hope you'll like the coming chapters, guys.
