Disclaimer: Wait a million years & it will never happen *Sigh*

This was it, the end to everything. He'll feel death's embrace soon, Zero Requiem, the cure for the world's hatred the demon emperor thought. Zero was here.

Suzaku with only minor hassles got passed the guards. But when he was supposed to get pass Orange. He was in a fight for his life. What? Didn't Jeremiah agree to this, why were they fighting? As he dodged the kicks and punches that were thrown his way.

Lelouch watched on, what was Orange doing? He wasn't supposed to block Suzaku, he was ordered to let him through damn it! What was he thinking?

The world, the remaining royals, Black Knights and Nunnally watched the fight between the opposing forces; they were matched on every level. When one dodges another kick came, when a punch came another docked. But who was Zero they wondered, they already seen two. Only Toudou and Kallen had any idea of whom this Zero was, judging by his fighting style, Toudou concluded that it was Suzaku, while Kallen only knew one person with speed like that.

Jeremiah Gottwald was fighting for his prince's life. Yes, he had agreed, emphasis on had but changed his mind at the last minute. Lelouch vi Britannia and Nunnally vi Britannia were the only children of Lady Marianne. He couldn't bear to let another one of the vi Britannia family die out. Their lives were more important than world peace! Zero Requiem will not be completed he swore as the fight went on.

Suzaku was panting, damn it, they been fighting for the last two hours. Why wasn't Orange worn out yet? Oh right, part robot. As he made several last attempts to at least know the man unconscious. Jeremiah caught his arms in a death grip, and in then proceeded to pluck of his mask.

"What should I do with this traitor your majesty?" Orange asked as he brought the fake Zero up to the emperor. The world was stunned; Zero is the Knight of Zero? But that was impossible…he was always on the Britannia side. The Black Knights, remaining royals and Nunnally were wondering what the duo were planning? While Suzaku felt the force of betrayal, same as when he brought Lelouch up to the former Britannia emperor.

"I- you?" Lelouch was caught in the hardest spot in his whole life. Yes, even Schneizel never managed this. Who was he supposed to punish? He couldn't charge Orange with attacking the Knight of Zero, not when the latter was declared dead…and is currently Zero. But he couldn't charge Zero with treason, they expect the demon emperor to execute him…and Suzaku have to fake another death. And if he wants to die, he needed Zero, but if he wanted his body to be disposed properly, not desecrated then he needed Orange. Damn it? Who was he supposed to condemn. Lelouch's brain was beyond overdrive, in fact it completely burned out and the demon emperor fell unconscious.

"Lelouch!"

"Your majesty!"

The world watched as the demon emperor fell unconscious. Alright, now they got even bigger questions. Shouldn't it be relatively simple, just charge Kururugi with treason? Why did he fell unconscious then? A few watching this scene already came to a conclusion, they were not blinded by the rage for the demon emperor. This was a planned death, but for what, even they didn't know.

The Black Knights were conflicted. If Suzaku is Zero then was this planned? They saw the Britannia prince revealed himself that day, so Suzaku's only a substitute then? So did they plan this? If Zero reached the demon emperor, he would've died, was this what Zero schemed. Toudou knew for sure Suzaku couldn't come up with something as sophisticated as this plan. So were they wrong about Zero?

The remaining royal family watched on. The White King already predicted this. He saw that the world's hate was focused on to one spot, Lelouch. He saw it in their last battle for Damocles; he couldn't help but sigh, despite his rather kinky? Position…why did Lelouch have to chain him up like this, couldn't he gone with normal handcuffs? Just like his little brother to plan something stupid like this, that's why he always won at chess, Lelouch always went for the more extravagant moves. Cornelia was baffled, this Zero's Suzaku? It has to be Lelouch's plan! So if Jeremiah hadn't stopped him then he would've died? What was that fool planning?

Nunnally was very upset, it was already too obvious to her what the duo was planning…and she couldn't believe how foolish she was. Lelouch was planning his death, and she was naïve enough to think that he actually want to control the world.

After ten long minutes, the demon emperor woke up, yawning he said.

"Suzaku, I had the strangest dream that Zero Requiem failed because Orange stopped you."

Both Suzaku and Orange were baffled. Was Lelouch okay?

"L-lelouch, it did." The Knight of Zero answered as the demon emperor fell unconscious, again.

Milly and Rivalz watch on, seems like Lelouch's plan, whatever it was failed. And the guy couldn't take the pressure.

Aftermath….

Lelouch woke up in his bed, horrified by the dream or so he thought. He saw Suzaku who was in the Zero costume.

"Get ready for Zero Requiem!" He commanded.

"Lelouch…Zero Requiem failed, and you fell unconscious tw-" Suzaku didn't even get to finish that sentence as he heard a thud.

"Is big brother okay?" Nunnally asked wheeling herself into Lelouch's room.

"He fell unconscious, again…." Suzaku pouted. Why was he always the one declaring the bad news?

Author's note: Thank you for all the suggestions! I'll try to put them in after my plot engine dies out. Anyways Orange could've consciously said yes to Zero Requiem but was unconsciously against it, so he just acted on his unconsious decision rather than on the former, like in the canon. And as for Lulu keeping on falling unconscious, well that's a harder position than anything even the White King could've done, only four maybe five people knew about Zero Requiem and two or three of them were locked up, or you can consider falling unconscious as a mental defence. ^.^
