Turn 07: Requiem For Natural Harmonia

Location: Driftveil City

Time: 6:52 PM August 7th

Condition: Partly Cloudy

Lelouch stuffed some supplies into his bag before heading back into the city from Cold Storage. He left telling them to set up base there in one of the abandoned buildings. When they asked where he was going, he responded with, "To see to a friend."

He walked into a nearby hotel distinguished with a Blitzle as their mascot. Walking up to a nearby room Lelouch saw the mysterious girl staring blankly out the window in front of her. She was wearing some spare clothes Lelouch brought along with him; they looked rather baggy on her. Finding her some more suitable clothes was on his ever lengthening to-do list.

"I have some questions for you Zekrom." Lelouch spoke rather softly while he locked the door behind him.

"Don't call me that." She responded to him through thoughts.

"What?" Lelouch was a little taken by surprise.

"Don't call me Zekrom." She turned to face him.

"But, that's what you said your name was" Lelouch pointed out.

"There wasn't time to properly introduce myself last time." She pointed out. "So I used a name that you'd be familiar with."

"But you are still Zekrom, aren't you?" Lelouch clarified.

"Yes, but I don't really like that name." She explained.

"So what do you want to be called?"

"CC." She said simply.

"CC? That sounds more like an alias." Lelouch pointed out.

"Lamperouge." CC told him.

"Lelouch." He told her.

"I know what your name is Lelouch vi Britannia." CC told him. "I know all about you."

"Oh really, how would you know that?" Lelouch asked.

"Don't you remember? Whenever you took my hand we exchanged information, you told me about you and I taught you how your powers work." CC explained.

"I sort of remember. Not too long after we made the contract a Rocket Grunt hit me pretty hard in the back of the head. My memories of what happened have been a little fuzzy since then." Lelouch explained.

"Humans are so weak." CC sighed flopping onto a nearby bed, her waist length night black hair sprawled all across the bed as she landed.

"You're a legendary pokémon and you got knocked out from a single psychic." Lelouch pointed out.

"I was weak." CC explained

"Oh really, why?" Lelouch persisted.

"N," Was all she responded with.

Lelouch staggered for a second. "What happened?"

"What do you know about what happened during Team Plasma's Liberation War?" CC asked.

"Only what I read in the newspapers. I heard that he disappeared, flying on the back of Zekrom or something like that." Lelouch explained.

"It was four years ago." CC started. "N had just been named Champion of Unova after defeating Adler and the Elite Four using me as his spearhead. He was happy, his goals were in his sight, so close he could quiet literally taste it. His dream was short lived when a trainer came out of nowhere and summoned up my opposite. We contended fiercely with all our strength while our trainers contended verbally about truth and ideals. The trainer was smarter than N was and used that with Rashiram to overcome me. He took the blow rather harshly but he would have managed. What really dealt the killing blow to him was the betrayal of the man he trusted most, the one who raised him from a child and made him King of Team Plasma."

"Ghetsis." Lelouch muttered under his breath.

"After having his ideals challenged and having the man he trusted most betray him in order to achieve world domination N fled under the guise that he had learned a powerful lesson. In the unlikely chance that he did indeed learn a lesson from the trainer who challenged him he quickly forgot it. The only thing he really learned was that there's no one you can trust. A man who has lost his way is like a cornered snake and for almost three years he clung to his conflicting ideals of using pokémon and liberating them neither one of them winning out in his mind and for three years he clung to me as a symbol of his accomplishments. To a creature such as me, to have a master who wavers between ideals so quickly was like a powerful and deadly poison. I grew steadily weaker until I was reverted to my form as the Dark Stone." CC finished. "One day he accidently lost me while travelling Nimbasa City and I was put up for sale as a mysterious antique with no origin. Team Plasma found and purchased me before getting surrounded by Team Rocket. And then you found me."

"So you take on human form because you're not strong enough to take on your true form?" Lelouch confirmed his theory.

"Yes." CC nodded.

"Is N dead?" Lelouch asked.

"No, I can still feel him out there, although I doubt anyone would recognize him the way he is now." CC explained.

"What Geass?" Lelouch asked.

"Geass?" CC asked.

"It's the name I've decided to give to the powers I have." Lelouch explained.

"It is the power of to understand pokémon and have pokémon understand you." CC explained. "It was a power that N was born with naturally, which is one of the reasons why I believed he could fulfill my dream. I thought it would be a fitting gift to you considering…"

"Considering I would become his replacement?" Lelouch asked. CC nodded. "How did you know?"

"I didn't, you simply reminded me of him a little, or at least, who he was." CC told him.

"Speaking of your wish, what is it?" Lelouch told her, "I would like to know what it is I agreed to exactly."

"You'll remember when the time comes." CC said as if she was clairvoyant or something.

"Going back to my question about Geass, when you first gave it to me I was able to control a kadabra that wasn't my own, but I haven't been able to since." Lelouch stated.

"That is when you inject your thoughts, will, and ideas into a pokémon so powerfully that you temporarily bend them to your will." CC explained.

"So when I controlled the kadabra it was right after receiving Geass. I was so empowered that I did it with ease." Lelouch stated. "I'm going to need to keep that level of conviction if I'm going to want to use Geaass like that."

"Precisely." CC explained.

"One final question." Lelouch stated.

"Go ahead."

"I can sense pokémon but I can't sense you at all, why is that?" Lelouch asked.

"We're connected by our contract; you can't sense me with Geass because you can already feel me through our contract. After we first met your wrists and legs began to feel sore didn't they? And the days prior to my rescue you began experience headaches?" Lelouch nodded to both of CC's question. "You're wrists felt sore because my arms were bound; your head was sore because I was being tortured by Team Rocket. We're connected, you felt my pain, I felt your fear. It's a way to determine if each other is in danger."

"Sounds like a useful skill to have. Does it have an area limit?" Lelouch asked.

"I can still sense N," CC responded with an example. "Although my bond with him has grown weaker since I made a contract with you. I can no longer feel his physical pain, or determine his general location, but I can still hear him screaming in my head."

"That sounds horrible." Lelouch commented.

"I've grown used to it." She shrugged before the sound of lightning cracked across the sky.

"Still, isn't there anything I can do to ease the pain a little?" Lelouch asked.

"There is one thing." CC smiled.


"How many did you order?" Lelouch gasped at the horrific sight before him.

"I don't remember, fourteen I think." CC told him.

"Fourteen?" Lelouch gestured to the piles of Pizza boxes that now surrounded him. "That is not fourteen that's forty!"

"Oh well." CC shrugged. "Better get started."

"Um sir, we still need our payment." The one of a handful of pizza delivery guys pointed out.

"Fine." Lelouch grumbled. "How much was it again?"

"70,000P please." The man held out a hand.

"What, are you sure?" Lelouch asked.

"Yup, you can do the math buddy. The price is 70,000P." He confirmed.

"Whatever." Lelouch opened up his wallet and began to count out the cash.

CC ignored Lelouch's dismay and opened the first box and started to eat without him. "Mmm, I've missed you so much."

Lelouch walked over to CC enjoying her second box of pizza. "You'd better pay me back for this." Lelouch grumbled.

"I already have, with interest." CC told him blankly while continuing to consume her pizza.

"How do you eat so much?" Lelouch asked.

"You've already used up your last question." CC told him.

"Huh?"


Author Notes: Just in case you were under the assumption that the price of those pizzas was made up, it wasn't. It was surprisingly not hard to get the number either and made a couple calculations in order to confirm the price. I won't bore you with the details I'll just say that $1=350P.

One of my commenters suggested that I start posting music to go along with it as well. I personally feel like that it would kind of break the pacing if I put it on the top so for any who have any sort of desire to have something to listen to while reading this here are a few
