Code Shugo Geass Chara: Amulettia of the Revival
By: Ame Haru
Move 8: Amu's Geass
"As I thought, it was the same cat from before." Suzaku muttered to himself as he held the cat in his arms, walking out into the court yard. He abruptly stopped before the gathered crowd, wondering what to do next.
"Thank you for saving Lulu!" the orange haired girl from his class, Shirley, stated.
"Wait to go, New guy!" another classmate of his, Rivalz, added.
"The cat was wearing something, wasn't it?" the student president, Milly said.
Suzaku felt himself stiffen as these three members of the student council surrounded him. Even though they appeared friendly enough, Suzaku just couldn't put his guard down around them.
"The cat did have something on his head." Suzaku said, just like he was reporting to his reporting officer, "But I didn't get a good look at it and it must have dropped it somewhere."
"Ah! Where's Amulettia?" Rivalz said, holding his arms behind his head, looking around as he did so.
"And Lulu?" Shirley asked.
"Amulettia said she had she was going down first…" Suzaku stated. "And Lelouch said he forgot something and that I should go one without him."
"That's it!" Milly shouted, "His embarrassing secret!"
"Is this what this has been about, Madam President?" Lelouch said as he walked out from behind Suzaku. Everyone turned to look at him as he made his way beside Suzaku, which still greatly shocked all the assembled students.
"Aww, and just when I though I got some dirt on him." Milly sighed.
"Lulu's always has to keep up appearances." Shirley added.
"Geez… So annoying…" Amu said, appearing as though she materialized out of thin air. She took the spot in-between Lelouch and Suzaku, taking Neko-kun from out of Suzaku's arm, acting as though she didn't enjoy the feel of the cat's fur as she pet it.
"Then, all three of you know each other?" Kallen spoke suddenly, catching all of them off guard.
"But, he's an Eleven…" the green haired girl with glasses, Nina, stated. Amu lost her cool and spicy character for a moment and just stared at Nina as though she had just confessed that there had been another swine flu outbreak.
"No, I'm just…" Suzaku started to speak but was cut off by Lelouch.
"He's my friend." Lelouch said, "And Madam President, I haven't told you yet, but Amulettia, she too is my sister."
Both Suzaku and Amu looked up at Lelouch as though he was a complete stranger. Neither have them have seen this brave man before, even though they have somehow experienced it before.
"Therefore, Madam President, please allow these two to join the student council." Lelouch said, not so much as a question, but as an actual demand. Only Amu knew that this was only a small bit of the actual negotiations Lelouch really does.
"This school requires you to join a club." Lelouch added, "Still…"
'It would be hard for the two of them to fit in.' Amu mentally added, even though Lelouch had refused to voice it.
Amu felt as though Lelouch wanted to turn around and glare at her. It was fortunate that he didn't, since she was convinced that he was a little bit more than suspicious that she could read minds now.
"Should I consider you a friend of a foe, Amulettia li Britannia?" Lelouch had asked her.
The same question kept popping into Amu's head. And from the glare she received from Lelouch at that time meant she had only a little bit of time to formulate a plan of her own to divert Lelouch's attention from herself.
"How can I refuse one of the only requests from the vice-president?" Milly said as she shrugged her shoulders. The rest of the student council celebrated within themselves as Amu and Suzaku shared looks of understanding, knowing how much it meant to both of them to be so easily accepted.
"Now that that's settled…" Nunally said, rolling up to the three of them, "Lend me your ears, you guys."
Both Suzaku and Lelouch looked at each other before bending down to Nunally's level. Unexpectedly, Nunally touched both of their cheeks, giving both of them a small kiss before they pulled back.
"Nunally!" both boys said in shock, looking at her with the same emotion as their voices.
"The reward the Miss Milly promised." Nunally explained, "Since both of you did it, you'll just have to be content with me as a half-member of the council."
"I helped too, Nana…" Amu muttered, hoping not to be heard.
"Oh yeah, Amulettia, too." Suzaku said as he stood straight up and turned around to face Amu, Lelouch doing the same thing.
"It doesn't even matter to me…" Amu said, embarrassed that Suzaku had heard her and stated the fact to everyone in the courtyard. It embarrassed her even more that everyone was expecting her to kiss someone.
"You don't want to lose, right, Amu." Nunally said, giggling as she said that. Amu felt her cheeks flame up as she looked at Nunally.
"Geez…" Amu said stubbornly before kissing Suzaku and Lelouch's other cheeks. Before they could say anything about it Amu muttered a "Only because I won't lose to Nana" before turning her back to them and went over Nunally. Gently though, she brushed Nunally's bangs away from her face before lightly kissing her forehead as well.
"All right! Let's celebrate our catching of the cat!" Rivalz cheered, "It's only natural the new guy treats us!"
"Don't sponge off him!" Shirley shouted back, but then went back to her normal chara, "I'm Shirley, by the way."
"Oh, and I'm Rivalz!"
"And I'm Milly Ashford, the council president."
With the sudden introductions of the student council, Amu suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of déjà vu, unsure of whether or not to be happy or sad about it.
"It's a pleasure to be working with you!" Amu and Suzaku had said in unison.
~コードしゅごギアスキャラ: あむれちあのリヴァイヴァル~
"Slow down, Lulu-nii-san!" Amu yelled as Lelouch pulled her by her arm, dashing up the stairs to his bedroom. Lelouch had not spoken a word to her since she was caught trying to retrieve his mask.
"The cat did have something on his head." Suzaku said, just like he was reporting to his reporting officer, "But I didn't get a good look at it and it must have dropped it somewhere."
"Well, before I make my decision, should I consider you a friend or a foe at this point, Amulettia li Britannia?" Lelouch had thought. Amu had no idea what to say at this point. She couldn't just spill out everything that she has done in the past five years in the school court yard.
"The cat was wearing something, wasn't it?" Milly's voice had boomed out. Lelouch quickly turned his head towards where Suzaku was, praying that Suzaku didn't see anything. Amu clutched the helmet closer to her chest as she pressed herself against the cool, brick wall.
"The cat did have something on his head." Suzaku said, "But I didn't get a good look at it and it must have dropped it somewhere."
Lelouch let out a loud sigh of relief, afterwards glaring daggers at Amu that make the hair on the back of her neck rise up.
"Ah! Where's Amulettia?" Rivalz said.
"And Lulu?" Shirley asked.
"Amulettia said she had she was going down first…" Suzaku stated. "And Lelouch said he forgot something and that I should go one without him."
"That's it!" Milly shouted, "His embarrassing secret!"
"Is this what this has been about, Madam President?" Lelouch shouted as he walked though the front entrance of the tower.
"Aww, and just when I though I got some dirt on him." Milly sighed loudly. Amu let out a sigh of relief herself, thanking god that she didn't have to face Lelouch when he looked most dangerous.
"Amu-chan!" Dia yelled as she entered the room through the secret passage with Clone 2 following close behind.
"Gomen ne…" Clone 2 said, her voice sounding exactly like Amu's.
"It's alright. Just take this to C.C." Amu said, stuffing the helmet into Clone 2's arms. Clone 2 nodded in agreement before running off again.
"Lulu's always has to keep up appearances." Shirley pouted. Amu started walking out of the tower, acting "Cool N Spicy" as she did so.
"Geez… So annoying…" Amu said as she took the spot in-between Lelouch and Suzaku, taking Neko-kun from out of Suzaku's arm, acting as though she didn't enjoy the feel of the cat's fur as she pet it. She caught Lelouch glaring at her momentarily before going into his own well-poised chara.
'Now comes the inevitable.' Amu thought as Lelouch dragged her up the main staircases. Apparently, Nunally nor Sayoko-san were home, and nobody would be entering the building anytime soon.
"Now is that anyway to treat your sister, Lelouch?" C.C. asked, coming around the corner before they reached the top of the stairs which lead to the floor Lelouch's bedroom was on.
"What are you doing out of the room?" Lelouch asked angrily, stopping so abruptly, he made Amu crash into his back. Amu had to look to the side of Lelouch to get a clear view of C.C.
"I just came out to accept a delivery." C.C. said, revealing Zero's mask and started tossing his up and down in the air.
"How?" Lelouch said, turning around, glaring at Amu. Amu held her breath as she did so.
"She had her Shugo Chara deliver it to me." C.C. said, still tossing the helmet in the air.
"Her what?" Lelouch said, changing his gaze from Amu to C.C.
"Shugo Chara, they're like my guardian angels." Amu muttered, "They're the one's that enable me to have geass."
"How so?" Lelouch said, turning around again.
"By Chara Changing, like…" Amu tried explaining, "Changing my Character to theirs and allowing me to use their powers."
"And how is that so?" Lelouch asked, trying to understand the concept of Chara Changing.
"The same way your Geass works Lelouch. Magically." C.C. said in an uninterested voice.
"And you have … four, Shugo Chara? Or are there more?" Lelouch said, glancing behind Amu without moving the rest of his head.
"Told you he can see us." Miki said, appearing first from behind Amu.
"Ahhh, gomen…" Ran said, appearing beside her, rubbing the back of her head with one head.
"You should be more careful, Ran-chan…" Dia said, the next to appear.
"At least we don't have to hide anymore!" Suu added.
"Yeah… only four…" Amu whispered.
'The Pink one… Ran…some sort of physical control… The blue one… Mind reading?' Lelouch thought as Amu just realized that she still had Miki's geass control on him.
"It's you're call weather or not to tell him, you know, Amu." C.C. spoke, obviously creating her own connection in the link between her mind and Lelouch's. C.C. also made an effort to temporarily block all incoming feed coming from Lelouch's mind, which she knew that Amu couldn't take all at once.
"But I don't think it's the right timing at all… I hardly think he knows what Ran and Miki's powers are, and I doubt he caught anything about Suu and Dia…"
"I'm Ran!" Ran yelled, breaking Amu out of her trance, "The Power of Absolute O-"
Amu quickly swiped Ran away from Lelouch's sight, holding her tightly in her grasp. Amu noticed Lelouch glare at her as she did so.
"YOU STUPID CHARA! ARE YOU TRYING TO GET US KILLED!?!" Amu shouted loudly in her mind, noticing that C.C. and the rest of her Chara winced.
"Gomen ne, Amu-chan…" Ran said, "I just thought it be better to get it over and done with…"
"IDIOT!" Amu yelled as she crushed Ran even harder within her hands, "I'm trying to pace here!"
"Each one has a different power… right." Lelouch thought, but Amu knew better than to know that he was speaking now.
"Hai." Amu said grudgingly. She loosened the grip on Ran, but added a glare towards her now.
"The Heart, Power of Absolute Obedience, similar to mine, but you have to make physical contact. Probably has similar conditions as mine as well. Commands must be issused verbally, unless it is possible to combine with the blue geass, which then could be issued mentally as well, so long as physical contact is there. Orders can only be ordered once per person, but as many times as possible so as contact is still established. Commands can be blocked or limited based on the person's mental or physical ability, but will carry out command as best as possible. All commands are conditional and remain latent until conditions are met. As well, victim's memories of the command are sealed and cannot be recalled."
Amu opened her mouth, hoping that she could say something in her defence, but re-closed it when she had nothing.
"The Spade…" Lelouch continued, taking not break in voice his opinions, "The Power of Telepathy. Has the Ability to make you able to read and communicate with geass victim through their minds. Distance should not matter and is can also go for long periods of time without wavering. Has to make eye contact for Geass to initiate. No mental or physical harm towards victim, thus far anyways. Geass, to date, can do either one of two things at a time: rummage through victim's memories and thoughts without any communication at all, or communicate with person telepathically but unable to read their thoughts.
"The Clover… I'm not sure about, but I suspect some sort of vision ability… Either to see into the future or redo the past, though I'm quite certain it's the future since you are linked to C.C. who remains forever. If my hypothesis is correct, you would be able to see into the future from your own perspective. Since the future changes constantly, you should be having multiple visions but they could be limited based on your amount of knowledge about the situation. But this is only a guess.
"The Diamond… I thought would be the hardest to figure out, but figured she had the Power of Duplication, seeing as though I saw you running across the school field back on the roof, as well as hold both me and Suzaku up as I was hanging from there."
"Dia…" Amu hissed, as she glared at her. Dia on the other hand, decided to avoid Amu's gaze and started whistling a new type of tune.
"You should be able to duplicate yourself, as well, possibly, other people." Lelouch continued on, "If the clone is killed, their mind is transferred to the next surviving clone. I witnessed this when I saw you at the time I killed Clovis, though I thought it was my imagination at the time and had killed you, and saw you perfectly okay when you transferred here a couple days ago. This geass should make you or anybody you clone almost immortal."
"As well, each chara leave a geass symbol on the victim, the color according to the chara who dealt out the geass. Each chara should be able to combine powers, since they are all from you."
Amu was speechless. With the very little evidence she had given him, Lelouch was able to figure out almost everything about her geass powers, if not a more than what she knew.
"Well, I can say you learned most of Amu's abilities a day quicker than she did, starting from the day you first saw her since Clovis' death."
"You're almost right, Lelouch… Amu muttered, avoiding his gaze.
"The pink heart… That's Ran, Power of Absolute Obedience or The Pink Geass as I like to call it…"
"Yo!" Ran said, saluting Lelouch with two fingers.
"Has the power to, like you said, control people. I do have to make physical contact and commands do have to be said verbally, unless combined with Miki's geass… On the other hand… I can make as many orders as I wish per person, even once contact is first broken, although control becomes less effective as connections are broken. The rest of the conditions are the same as your geass."
"The blue spade…"
"Boku wa Miki!" Miki said, although in a dull voice, "The Power of telepathy A.K.A the blue geass."
"Yeah…" Amu said, "You've guessed everything right about her power, which is probably why she's sulking…"
"I'M NOT SULKING!" Miki instantly shouted, though Amu ignored her.
"The green clover… That's Suu, Power of Future Visions…"
"The Green Geass. Yoroshiku, Lelouch-nii-sama." Suu finished off, bowing formally with her hands folded in front of her.
"You were right… She's able to see into the future, though I'm not quite sure if it's due to C.C. or not… Anyways, we are able to see into the future at any given moment, weather I activate geass or not, which I have not been able to do on my own accord. I do view my visions from my perspective and my visions can change as quickly as a blink of an eye. But according to C.C., I'm able to speak out my vision as I'm having it, describing the vision in intense detail as I may add. But once I have a particular vision, I am unable to go back to it and can only go on what is remembered."
"And the last one… the orange hair and gold diamond… Dia, The Power of Duplication… The Yellow geass…"
"Yoroshiku, Lulu-nii-san." Dia said a formally as Suu, but with the same action as Ran and Miki.
"When we use geass, we're able to create clones. Although I'm not sure if I can create clones of other people, I can make exact replicas of myself. If I get killed, my mind instantly transfers to the oldest, surviving clone. My dead body would then disappear into dust, but my blood would remain. Though I am considered immortal through this, I can only make one clone of myself every 30 days. I usually have three clones within 10 miles of me, but I currently have 10 clones in total, including one who is disguised as a maid in the Hold Britannian Empire."
"WHAT?!" Lelouch bellowed, scaring Amu and her chara. Amu had almost lost her footing and made them all fall off the stairs, except for the fact Lelouch grabbed Amu by the wrist and was lifting her off the ground.
"That hurts, Onii-san…" Amu whimpered as Lelouch's grip got tighter.
"What didn't you tell me before you were keeping tabs on Britannia?" Lelouch hissed. Amu felt as though Lelouch's anger was flowing out of him, almost visible to the naked eye.
"W-What, you wanted me to come out straight away that I had geass and was keeping tabs on Britannia?!" Amu stuttered.
"That's exactly what I expect you to do!" Lelouch yelled back.
"AND RISK SUZAKU OR ANYBODY SUPPORTING BRITANNIA TO FIGURE OUT YOU HAVE GEASS AS WELL?!" Amu burst out at the top of her lungs, "OR MAYBE YOU WOULD LIKE THE FACT THAT I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THE PART WHERE YOU AND ZERO ARE CONNECTED TO MY GEASS?!"
That comment made Lelouch go silent, as he slowly lowered her back to the closest step. Amu breathed exaggeratedly for several minutes before she decided to speak again.
"I should've told you sooner… Gomen…" Amu said, apologetically.
"I should've realized your reasoning, as stupid as it may seem." Lelouch said. But before Amu could comment on Lelouch's rude comment, he was already bounding up the stairs, looking more solemn than she had ever seen him. Even C.C. seemed surprise at his sudden change of mood.
"Oi! Lulu-nii-san! What are you--" Amu said, running up the stairs herself, but felt like some had thrown a brick or something at her and had winded her. She instantaneously collapsed to her knees, gasping heavily for a breath. C.C. and her chara began to gather around her, trying to help her back up to her feet, but it was no use.
"Wait a second." C.C. said, silencing the now hysterical chara. C.C. didn't have to voice out what she had just noticed though, as everyone took into account what was currently happening to Amu.
Amu was glowing a blue-green color, feeling two geass symbols appearing on each of her hands, her left hand showing a blue symbol, the right showing green.
"That's new!" Ran yelled, "Miki and Suu never combined before!"
"Perhaps…" C.C. started saying but started fading away as Amu fell into an unconscious state.
~コードしゅごギアスキャラ: あむれちあのリヴァイヴァル~
"Huh?" Amu said as her eyes reopened. She rubbed her eyes awake but squinted at the bright light around her.
This building seemed vaguely familiar to Amu. It's pure white pillars, carefully selected bricks and hand polished while marble all seemed so familiar to her.
"Announcing Prince Lelouch vi Britannia, 17th heir to the Royal Britannian Imperial throne!" someone yelled, making Amu jerk awake almost instantly. She looked around her, trying to understand her surroundings. She was surrounded by many nobles, all of which were in the Holy Britannian Palace.
"Amu-chan." Suu whispered, appearing from behind her unusually short pink hair, "Do you know what is going on?"
"Me?!" Amu whispered loudly, "Aren't you the one that's supposed to know whether or not I'm having a vision?!"
"And I'm here too!" Miki yelled loudly; obviously panicked, ignoring all the adults around them.
"Will you-" Amu said, reaching out to grab Miki, but her arms fell short. She looked closer at her hands, and then her entire body. It appeared as though she was back to before she left the Britannian Empire. Which would explain the fact that she looked exactly as Euphie back then in the reflection of the marble floor.
"I heard Empress Marianne was killed inside of the Britannian palace." some whispered. Amu turned around to face the person, when suddenly she focused on the gossip happening around her.
"There's no way terrorists could have just gotten in there!"
"Then, the real killers must have been…"
"Stop, my friend! You'll regret starting rumours like that around here!"
"And yet he seems so steadfast, even though his mother is dead!"
"But he has no path to the throne now."
"And the Ashford family who backed them is finished, too."
"And his little sister, the princess?"
"I heard she was shot in the legs and that she lost her sight."
"Hysterical blindness, though, right?"
"Same thing. She can't even be married off for political gain now."
"Damn Britannians…" Amu muttered under her breath, only to be whacked in the head by someone's hand.
"Euphemia, please quiet down." a younger version of Cornelia said, "We already lost our own mother and now Amulettia, I don't want to lose you as well."
"I understand, sister." Amu said, although it felt as though her body, or rather, the body she was borrowing for the moment, was moving all on its own.
"Your Majesty! My mother has passed away!" Lelouch's voice echoed throughout the grand hall, stopping all whispers at once. Even Amu, forgot what she was currently doing and focused her attention on Lelouch.
"What of it?" the Emperor said.
"What of it?!" Lelouch repeated.
"You sought an audience with the Emperor of Britannia simply to tell me that?!" the Emperor bellowed.
"Why you…" Amu muttered, clenching her hand into a fist. If only this was like any normal vision, then probably…
"Father!" Lelouch yelled, running up to the Emperor. The royal guard instantly took action and ran up to the Emperor to protect him. The Emperor signalled for them to stop, and the guards both stopped in their tracked and stood straight and still.
"Why didn't you protect Mother?!" Lelouch yelled, "You're the emperor! The greatest man in this nation! You should have protected her! And now you don't even visit Nunally!"
"I have no use for weaklings!" the emperor said.
"Weaklings…" Amu repeated quietly, just in case Cornelia hit her again.
"That is what it means to be royalty!" the emperor stated.
"Then I don't want to be your heir!" Amu yelled. Suddenly she felt as though she was zapped out of Euphemia's child body and into her own, a few month's early than when Lelouch faced the emperor himself.
She was in the same place as Lelouch was, or would be, in a matter of fact way. She saw a Euphemia's tear-stained face and Cornelia's hard exterior at the edge of her eyes, as well as many of the nobles that were in the same room.
In her other eye, she saw Lelouch and Nunally's mother, Marianne vi Britannia, wearing one of her many blue dresses, a colour she was hardly ever seen without. Her face had been down cast, as though she didn't like seeing this type of thing happening.
"I've had enough of the fighting and the scheming over who will succeed you!" Amu yelled, almost robotically, since she wanted to further evaluate the scenario.
"You are dead." the Emperor said. Amu took a step back, shocked about hearing this statement, even though she replayed it over and over in her heart whenever the thought of the emperor crossed her mind.
"You've been dead from the moment you were born." the emperor continued, "Who gave you the clothes you wear? Your home, your food, your very life! All of those, I have given to you!
"In short, you have never actually lived! And yet, you dare speak such foolishness to me!" the emperor yelled as he stood up, hovering over Amu. Amu gasped as she stepped back only to land on the ground, beside Lelouch, who would have this same treatment later on.
"Amulettia!" the emperor bellowed, as the two visions intertwined, the emperor's word's slurring into the same speech.
"I'm sending you to Japan." the emperor stated, "As prince and princess, you will serve as bargaining chips."
There was a sudden darkness as though there was a transition between one scene and another.
"You appear to have a reason for living." C.C. said, once the blackness had disappeared, the vision back to that faithful day.
Amu felt her body grow into her twelve year-old self and the scenery around her change from the Britannian Palace to that cold, dark cave with the exact same Britannian army holding out their guns at her, with the blue-haired man at her feet, with his blood forming a pool of blood around him.
"If you had power, could you live? I'll make a deal with you.
In exchange for power, you must make my one wish come true.
Accept this contract, and while you will live in the world of humans,
You will live unlike any other.
A different providence, a different time, a different life.
The power of the king will isolate you.
If you are prepared for it…"
"I understand!" my current self replied, "I'll accept your contract!"
"Then from now on, you'll be living a lie. The lie of living. Your name, too, a lie. Your personal history, a lie. Nothing but lies.
"Remember how mad you were at the world that wasn't able to be changed by mere kindness But even in your lies, you could give up in despair. And yet, now you have it? Power?"
"Sound's like fun, then." Amu replied, as darkness fell upon her yet again.
A/N: ... Guess what I just realized.
I wrote this chapter about a month and a half ago and totally forgot to post it...I KNOW! STUPID MISTAKE! But I swore I posted it! I'M SORRY!!!!
But at least you know Amu's geass powers now. That's a good thing, hopefully.
Happy April Fool's Day, too, by the way. =)
And also, that's the very first smiley face I used in this entire story.
ALSO! If you haven't already heard, I have a tumblr account, which I update almost every single day.
I post the random previews of stories there too.
So if you have tumblr, or even know what it is, my username is Amulettia (teehee).
That's all for now...
