The next morning

Yukiteru woke up to heavy pounding on his door before it was broken down. Britannian soldiers swarmed the inside. Yukiteru was confused as all hell. The soldiers rounded him up and knocked him out. When he came too he was in a holding cell with Yuno, who was already awake. Both individuals hands were bound behind tightly behind their backs and their legs were also bound together.

"Yuki, you're awake!" Yuno squirmed over to Yukiteru and lay her head against his chest, nuzzling into it. "Oh thank goodness."

"Yuno, I'm happy to see you, but where are we?" he asked.

"A Britannian prison most likely," she said. "Those soldiers who brought you here and captured me were wearing the Britannian army uniform."

"But why arrest us, we haven't done anything wrong," There was a pause and Yukiteru gasped, "D-do you think the Sub-Viceroy figured out who we are?"

"So it's true both of you do know the Sub-Viceroy to be a diary holder," Suzaku walked down the hall to the holding cell.

"Suzaku!" Yukiteru seemed happy to see him, but Suzaku's face was not one that screamed 'I'm here to help.' "H-hey what's with that look Suzaku?"

"Both of you are under arrest for the alleged planning of the assassination of her royal highness Euphimia Li Britannia," Suzaku stated.

"What? Suzaku that's ridiculous why would we want to kill the Sub-Viceroy?" Yukiteru asked him.

"I think it should be obvious, after all, you're both the 1st and 2nd diary holders it wouldn't be odd for you to attack a diary holder you know the identity of," Suzaku told them.

"Wait just a second," Yuno snapped, "Yuki and I only knew that the Sub-Viceroy was a diary holder yesterday and that was after we parted with you!"

"A likely story," Suzaku said, "But what matters is the evidence," he held up a tape recorder and pressed it.

Yukiteru: "I don't know about this Yuno *static noise* planning to kill the Sub-Viceroy
Yuno: "Yuki she's a diary holder we don't have a choice."
Yukiteru: "But we're only two people"
Yuno: "And the Black Knights are a group of 8, we'll be fine besides we can always *static noise*"

Suzaku turned off the recording, "What do you have to say for yourselves?"

Did Lelouch set us up? Yukiteru wondered. That no good double crosser!

"Wait how long have you been monitoring Yuki and me?" Yuno wanted to know.

"Yeah can't you do anything? Aren't you supposed to be our friend?" Yukiteru asked.

"I've been monitoring you two since the Minene Uryu incident," he answered, "And friendship has no boundaries in the eyes of the law."

"Will Suzaku still say that if he knows Lelouch is a diary holder?" Yuno asked him.

"What?" Suzaku was surprised.

"Yuno," Yukiteru was shocked.

"We're going to die anyway Yuki," Yuno was tearing up, "We'll die together, but is it wrong to betray those who have betrayed us?"

"Don't listen to her," Yukiteru told Suzaku, "Lelouch isn't involved."

"Whether he's involved or not, Lelouch hasn't done anything wrong, yet," Suzaku stated, "However don't think that revealing another diary holder will let you off the hook. You will both be in trial in an hour and you will both be punished as Viceroy Cornelia sees fit." Suzaku walked away.

"Yuno, what do we do?" Yukiteru asked her.

Yuno thought long and hard about how to escape. She could easily break out if she tried with her powers, but she was hesitant to use them. She didn't want Yukiteru to know the truth and she knew that Deus was watching, she didn't want to be disqualified for having an advantage she wasn't supposed to have. She was already pissed that Murumuru had stupidly caused the game to change drastically making her lose a large advantage she was originally going to have. She wondered how gullible Yukiteru could possibly be. She attempted to make a gambit and see if it would pay off. "Yuki," she said to him, "Do you believe in magic?"

"Hey if Deus is God than anything is possible I guess," Yukiteru responded.

"Yuki…I know how we can escape, but I want to know…will Yuki trust me? No matter what I do or say, will Yuki trust me?" she asked.

Yukiteru thought about this. Before he and Yuno had transferred to Ashford Academy, when he visited her house, he had seen those corpses in her room and he had watched Yuno stab Nina in cold blood and attack maddened students attempting to drag him to his death. Could he trust Yuno? She was psycho and she was off kilter, but she had also been right about Suzaku keeping a watchful eye on him and she might also be right that Lelouch set the two of them up.

"I will never betray you Yuki," Yuno said with a soft smile, "No matter what I do or how I act I will never do anything to harm Yuki. So will you please trust me?"

"I…" Yukiteru made his decision and took a deep breath, "Ok, get us out of here Yuno."

"Right," Yuno put her game face on and concentrated her mind. Imagine the fabric as it will be, fading away, wearing away, peeling away. Yukiteru watched as a bright glow surrounded Yuno and the bindings around her arms and legs seemed to vanish into thin air. When Yuno asked him to trust her he hadn't expected this. One thing he could be sure of now was that Yuno couldn't be human. "Y-yuno…wh-what are you?"

Yuno stood up, "I am," she turned towards the door and lifted her hand and pointed her palm towards the energy wall, "Yukiteru Amano's Guardian Angel." It was a self-proclaimed distinction, but a true distinction nonetheless. Envision the flow of space through my palm. Take aim, and shoot. A thin white aura surrounded Yuno and she destroyed the wall in front of her and Yukieru and then used her powers to release Yukiteru from his bindings. She held her fingertips near each other as though trying to conjure something. Envision it, create it, materialize it. Her and Yukiteru's cellphones materialized in her hands. She handed Yukiteru his phone. Alarms went off. Yuno grabbed Yukiteru's arm, "This way, hurry Yuki." She led him by the hand towards the exit. She had been conscious long before she was thrown in jail. Both she and Yukiteru were soon surrounded by armed soldiers from both directions of the hallway. Be fueled with the want to protect. Yuno told herself. As bullets came barraging towards the middle-school aged pair Yuno produced a space-time barrier to protect her and Yukiteru. Eventually the soldiers ran out of ammo.

"That was…amazing Yuno," Yukiteru was in awe at Yuno's amazing abilities.

A wide smile crossed over Yuno's face. A white aura surrounded her and vibrated around her at a rapid rate. "Yuki praised me!" she shouted throwing energy blasts at the soldiers. "Yuki praised me! Yuki praised me!" She was elated with hope, striking down every soldier she saw with an energy blast, fully enjoying the mayhem and destruction she was unleashing.

Unfortunately, for the inexperienced Goddess, things weren't about to wind up going her way all that well.

BANG!

The sound came from behind. Yuno turned to see Yukiteru, back to Yuno, facing the other end of the hallway. He slumped backwards and looked up at Yuno with empty eyes. The shooter could now be seen to Yuno clear as day: Cornelia Li Britannia. She reloaded and pointed her weapon straight at the pink haired, eccentric youth. "I don't know what kind of stunts you've been pulling Yuno Gasai, but these are armor piercing tungsten rounds loaded into this weapon, you'll never be able to stop them. "The Eleven, Suzaku Kururugi was right, you are indeed dangerous. That bullet I just fired was meant for you. Yukiteru Amano blocked the shot."

Yuno took a look at Yukiteru who was on the ground, bleeding from the bullet wound in his abdomen. What Yuno had done…everything…it had all been for him and then in the blink of an eye he was taken from her. It wasn't fair. It's not fair…Yuno's eyes began to tear up. It's not fair…"IT'S NOT FAIR!" she shouted firing a monstrously sized energy blast at Cornelia.

The Viceroy calmly clicked a button on a device she was carrying with her free hand. A thick green barrier projected itself in front of her, defusing the shot in its entirety.

No, how can that be, I'm a goddess…a goddess, how can a mortal overturn my power? Yuno wondered to herself.

"It's because you're still inexperienced," Yuno heard Murumuru's voice

Inexperienced? Yuno was confused.

"Of course, what did you expect, you haven't had that long of practice at being god and utilizing your powers. The Britannians have lots of highly technological advanced equipment. If you're gonna throw a flimsy attack like that you're not fit for your role," Murumuru told her.

While Yuno was having this little internal discussion Cornelia took aim at the teen's head, "Now then," Cornelia aimed her weapon at Yuno's forehead, "Prepare to die!" She fired another bullet straight at Yuno. Yuno, though still in quite a bit of shock, saw it coming and dodged. Cornelia quickly reloaded.

However, after the dodge, Yuno had moved into the next stage of grief. She had started on shock, already passed denial, and bargaining and fear were unbecoming of her. She had jumped straight to anger. "Cornelia Li Britannia," Yuno's voice was cold and emotionless. A thick aura surrounded her and the walls began to shake. Yuno's eyes glowed white before her red irises glowed fiercely with them. "I'll kill you!" Yuno shrieked. She rushed towards Cornelia at superhuman speed. Cornelia fired off a round, but Yuno dodged, the shot only grazing her right shoulder. Yuno held Cornelia up against the wall. Her left hand squeezing the Viceroy's neck tightly. Cornelia dropped her gun immediately and attempted to wrench Yuno's hands free off of her neck, but found herself unable to break free of Yuno's superhuman strength. In response she pulled out a knife and made to stab Yuno in the back of the hand that was choking her, but Yuno grabbed Cornelia's wrist, causing her to drop the knife and proceeded to break Cornelia's arm.

The Viceroy screamed in agony as her left arm was twisted like a corkscrew. The sounds of her screams echoed through the halls. Men from the army came running towards the screaming Viceroy. Yuno, without letting Cornelia go turned towards the men and caused a mechanical malfunction in their guns causing them to explode and resumed to choking Cornelia. The mauve haired Viceroy tried biting Yuno's hand and kicking her legs, doing her very best to escape Yuno's firm grasp, but her efforts were to no avail. Yuno continued to squeeze until Cornelia's body went limp and her eyes turned back inside her head. Yuno dropped Cornelia on the ground and picked up the Viceroy's gun and shot her in the head to make certain of Cornelia's fate.

Coming down from her rage fit, the walls and halls splattered with blood and burns, Yuno made towards Yukiteru's still bleeding body and dropped to her knees. Yuno collapsed onto Yukiteru's body. "I…Yuki was just trying to protect me…I…I'm sorry Yuki." She sniffed and started to cry like the little girl she truly was inside. Something suddenly touched Yuno's knee. She gasped and looked down.

With tremendous effort Yukiteru lifted up his head. "Yu…no."

"Yuki?" she blinked as two tears ran down her face.

"I'm glad you're…ok Yuno," he smiled.

"Yuki's alive," Yuno hugged him around his neck.

"I, I don't think I can get up," Yukiteru said.

"It's ok," Yuno wiped her eyes. "I…I can heal Yuki." Tears streaming down Yuno's face she used her powers to heal Yuki's wounds, making it seem like there had never been a wound there to begin with.

Yukiteru sat up and Yuno stood up and helped him to his feet. "Thank you Yuno," Yukiteru said with a smile.

"Yuki!" Yuno cried happily and hugged him tightly. With Yuno now not in the way Yukiteru could see the blood and carnage she had caused. Most notably was the Viceroy lying on the ground, bleeding from the top of her skull.

"Yuno…di-did you…"

Yuno held out Yukiteru at an arm's length hands on his shoulders, "No one's going to hurt Yuki anymore."

"But still that was the Viceroy, Yuno. We're going to be in so much trouble," Yukiteru told her.

"We don't have to go to school Yuki, once you or I become God there won't be a purpose for school, right?" Yuno smiled with her usual happy smile.

"I-I suppose so I…" Yuno kissed him before he could finish.

"We need to get out of here," Yuno told him. "We can talk more once we get out of here."

"Okay," Yukiteru nodded.


Later that day

Lelouch's pov

When I arrived at the Student Council Meeting, as my diary predicted, Yukiteru and Yuno were absent, but Suzaku should be arriving any minute now. He did, but he wasn't down or serious like I imagined he looked…angry.

I leaned over to him, "What's the problem?"

"I'll talk to you after the meeting," he said.

Something didn't go right. I thought to myself. I looked at my phone and opened up my diary.

Suzaku reveals that Yukiteru and Yuno escaped custody

Further down in my diary there was another entry.

Saw a news coverage story of Cornelia being found dead, Yuno and Yukiteru are wanted for her death.

I smirked. Well that's not quite exactly how I planned for things to go down, at least not so soon, anyway. But it's just like I figured, Yuno is a complete and utter loose cannon. I need to be wary of her. It'll be harder now since I've already used my Geass on her to keep her from harming Nunnally, but at this point she and Yukiteru will never be able to return to school. I closed my phone.


Suzaku's pov

At the Student Council meeting Milly announced the expulsion of Yukiteru and Yuno from the academy on the grounds of supposed terroristic activity. After the meeting I later explained to Lelouch that they had escaped. Although, during the meeting I had seen him fiddling with his phone a lot. I wanted to ask if he was a diary holder. Yuno had said that Lelouch had betrayed her and Yukiteru. But if he had betrayed them, meaning that he was the 8th, then that meant that he was doing the right thing. He was protecting Euphimia. There was no way he could've known Cornelia would get killed. Everyone's still wondering how. Cornelia is the most ruthless soldier in Knightmare Combat, strategy and tactics, and normal routine battle. The fact that she had lost to a fourteen-year-old girl still baffled me. It was even more baffling of her and Yukiteru's jail break. Something was up. Something had to be done about Yuno Gasai.

I watched Lelouch walk away in his usual manner. He stopped after a few steps to fix his collar and continued onward. I'll have to keep tabs on him. I said. I don't want to have to doubt my best friend, but at that time…Yuno and Yukiteru would've had no reason to lie.


That evening

3rd Person pov

The Hideout of the Black Knights

Lelouch, as Zero, arrived at the hideout. "My fellow knights," he announced himself, "gather round the television. There is something I would like you to see."

When everyone was assembled he turned on the news.

"…and another frightening news story is the sudden murder of Viceroy Cornelia Li Britannia. Contradictory to popular belief the masked man, Zero, was not at the crime scene. Rather two, now expelled, Ashford Academy students, Yukiteru Amano and Yuno Gasai are believed to be the culprits in Viceroy Cornelia's murder. As her replacement Second Prince Schneizel El Britannia has been authorized by the Britannian army to take commanding charge of Area 11."

Schneizel eh? Lelouch thought to himself. Good old dad's bringing out the big guns I see. He referred to his father sarcastically.

I don't believe it, Kallen thought to herself, Yuno and Yukiteru…but why…and how did they succeed?

"Zero," Kallen announced, "Were you really uninvolved with Viceroy Cornelia's murder?"

"If I had planned to murder the Viceroy you all would've joined me on our escapade. Even having said that, I'm as shocked and amazed of this as you are," Lelouch stated. His statement was partially true. Using his diary he had managed to find out that Cornelia would be taken care of at Yuno's hands if he planted Yukiteru and Yuno on the inside. He didn't care how or why, but that's what his diary told him. Somehow though, the prediction had come a few hours early than he anticipated. This news story wasn't supposed to air until tomorrow afternoon.

Still Yukiteru and Yuno were now fugitives on the run. That kept them out of his breathing space and if he was lucky he could turn them into his own Knights. Lelouch was clever in that he had never told Yuno or Yukiteru what number he was. Even if they found out that he, as Zero, was a diary holder, he knew that even with foreseeing the future they wouldn't be able to find out that Lelouch and Zero were one in the same person, especially after his comment about openly contrasting himself to Zero in front of them.

"So what's our next move?" Ohgi asked.

"We've been hired by Miss Tsubaki Kasaguno of the Omakata religion to safeguard her life to prevent her predicted death in four night's time. I find it as a little opening exercise breather mission. If we cannot safeguard a single life from assassination then how can we call ourselves knights of justice?" Still with Schneizel taking the helm, taking Area 11 will prove a little more difficult. Thankfully Schneizel is about as skilled at piloting a Knightmare as Clovis. That is to say, not at all.

"This just in, Sub-Viceroy Cornelia has announced that she has decided to assume the helm of the Glaston Knights and has armed them with a new lead pilot of her own choosing," Lelouch gasped when he saw Suzaku's mug shot flash on-screen, "Son of former Prime Minister Genbu Kururugi, Suzaku Kururugi."

Lelouch and Kallen both were shocked out of their skulls WHAT?

To be continued…


(A/N: Ok Euphie I need to ask: WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? And yes Cornelia is dead. Originally I planned to have Yukiteru be dead too, but he acts as a sort of a living restraining bolt for Yuno. If he had actually died Yuno would've gone out destroying everyone in her path, diary holder or not. Eventually she'd get the right person. We don't need that…or at least I don't. Still what's Yukiteru going to make of Yuno's rather bizarre powers? What will happen to Euphie now that her big sister can no longer protect her? Will her older brother Schneizel be of any use to her? And who are the 5th, 7th, 10th, 11th and 12th diary holders? Answers to some of those questions and more next time on: Ultimate Paradox)
