Last time;
It's not really known what happened during that time. But it is said that the Black Phoenix, the Emerald Phoenix and the Golden Phoenix disappeared from that universe and entered another universe to start anew. To start their lives again in hopes to make happier memories. To live a happier life.
But the question remains... What happened to the devil? Because... The Black Phoenix did make a deal with me, and it seams that everyone forgot about me... Shame.. Pity, isn't it?" Asked the devil as his rich voice echoed around the empty room. " But soon I will have my body, and soon the Black Phoenix will join my side."
Music blasted through the speakers as teenagers danced and talked with each other. Rivilz tried to win a dance from Milly while Shirley was chatting to her friends in the swim club. Nina stood by the left wall of the ball room while Nunnally was talking with Euphemia. But through out the ball, a female, or should we say male? Was standing by the fancy dust red wall with his eyes glaring at the floor.
I hate this, thought Lelouch bitterly, I became a royal knight, but yet I am still dressed up like.. like this! He yelled in his mind as he didn't notice a hand grabbed his arm.
"What are you doing?!" Was the first thing he said as he snapped back to reality. All he was greeted with was the sight of dancing green eyes and a shy excited smile.
"Dancing!" Beamed Suzaku as he placed his hand on Lelouch's hip while the other was resting on his shoulder. No matter how much he struggled, Lelouch couldn't escape his grip, and he couldn't turn into his Merlin form either, not here.
"Why are you dancing with me! I'm a male, and so are you! Just because I am dressed like this and you aren't, that doesn't mean-" Began Lelouch's rant as Suzaku grinned.
"Tsundere," interrupted Suzaku as Lelouch blinked a few times before staring at his friend questioningly.
After a moment, Lelouch asked, "what does that mean?" With eyes that were doubtful.
"Tsundere, tsundere, tsundere," sang Suzaku as they continued to dance. Well, with Suzaku forcing Lelouch to move along to the music with him.
"Suzaku," growled out Lelouch as he narrowed his eyes.
His grin became brighter as the music stopped. Bowing towards Lelouch, Suzaku took his hand and placed a kiss upon his palm. His cheeks red as he whispered, "your so cute," before running off to find his friends, leaving a very shocked and confused Lelouch.
The calming air in the garden was refreshing as Gino sat next to K.K. His blue eyes starred through one of the windows as he watched Suzaku leave Lelouch.
"Is he really that much of a threat?" He asked as K.K stared over at him with blank brown eyes. Her small hands were placed upon his shoulders as she stared at the night sky.
"He is a threat to the universe. It was stupid of God to have given him so much power..." She muttered as Gino slowly nodded his head with a sad frown on his face.
"But... I love him," was the tiny, week response he gave to her as she glared at him. Her brown eyes turning amber.
"Then I can only suggest that you get rid of that love."
"C.C," whispered Nunnally as the green haired witch held the tiny girl's hand.
"Yes?" Asked the witch as Nunnally slowly walked towards the far end of the ball room, somewhere that was isolated, with C.C following her.
"What's the point of this war between all the phoenixes?"
"... It's to determinate who will be the next God..."
"They are all enjoying themselves, not knowing what is going on around them," whispered Nunnally, softly as she slowly opened her eyes. Reveling rich golden rings around her onyx pupils.
"But that's the reason why the current God made them. He wanted something innocent, something that wouldn't worry about the warfare outside of their own world. Something entertaining..." Answered C.C.
"But soon the Earth will become a battlefield."
With that statement, the conversation ended.
"Are you still mad at me?" Whined Suzaku as Lelouch continued to ignore his friend. "I said I'm sorry, see? Sorry," he continued as Lelouch took a sip out from his glass cup. "Pretty please forgive me for embarrassing you?" Asked Suzaku as he tried to use his puppy eyes trick.
Glancing at his friend, Lelouch placed his cup down and sighed. "Never again call me a girl," he said irately as he clenched a bit of his dark purple silk dress.
Instantly, Suzaku brightened up and hugged Lelouch, his arms clinging tightly to his friend. "Deal," he whispered happily as Lelouch blushed, embarrassed.
But then that all changed when Euphemia walked over towards them wearing a white and golden trimmed suit, her hair tied up into a pony tail and a light duster of eye shadow decorated her face. "I've been meaning to talk to you," she smiled as Suzaku cling tighter onto his friend, causing the said friend to turn an unhealthy shade of red.
"Suzaku... Can't... Breathe," gasped Lelouch as Suzaku quickly allowed his friend some air.
Giggling, Euphemia said, "aren't you cute," towards Lelouch, causing Suzaku to turn to stone.
"Isn't he..?" Muttered Suzaku as Lelouch gave the princess a small bow.
"So how are you enjoying the evening so far?" Asked Lelouch towards Euphemi as Suzaku tensed up.
"It's quite crazy, but I'm glad that people are still smiling happily..." She whispered quietly as her mind drifted back to the news she heard about the massacre. Glancing towards Lelouch, Euphemia couldn't help but to let a small squeal escape her lips.
"What is it?" Asked Lelouch with worry as a bright smile broke out on Euphemia's lips.
"You look so cute with that dress on! Just like a girl!" She said as she quickly clasped his hands with her own, "I must dress you up some day! You'll look just like... Marianne..." She whispered the last bit as Suzaku narrowed his eyes before silently walking away.
Giving out a broken laugh, Lelouch slowly brought his own hands back to himself. "I would prefer not to wear a dress for the rest of my life..."
The chandeliers dimmed down as Milly walked confidently to the front of the ball room. Her flashy pink dress trailing behind her as everyone quieted down. Whispers arose as her grin shined like the diamonds from above. But the members of the student council knew that there was hell to pay.
"Hello everyone!" She yelled with joy dripping from her voice as people yelled back towards her. "As you know, that my birthday ball is coming to an end..." The mummers of "awwe" were echoed around the room as Milly's grin became more dangerous. " And thus, the final event will be set into motion! Rivilz!" She snapped her fingers as the blue haired teenager walked towards the birthday girl with a fuming Lelouch in his arms.
"Here he is!" He said proudly, his heart beating rapidly as Lelouch yelled curses, over and over again, but all was ignored.
"For our last event, we shall be doing an auction," winked Milly as she tied a piece of thick rope around the wrists of a struggling Lelouch, "and the money will be placed onto the new school that is being rebuilt! So let's start off the bid with... £10?" Asked Milly as she patted her own back mentally.
Mutters were heard from the audience as Lelouch tried to escape. His now long, wavy black hair was embarrassing enough. The purple dress with white trimming that he was forced to wear by a very scary Milly and her followers was even worse. But most of all, the bows... The make up... Everything was just... Just to much to bear! He looked like a girl! A girl! The Merlin Project, the soon to be Royal Knight... He looked like a girl!
"£100!" Came a female's voice as he snapped away from his inner rant. His eyes widened with horror as he tried to shake his head.
"£200!" Bid another female as Lelouch grew paler and paler by the minute.
"£250!" Yelled a fangirling teenager as Lelouch felt like he was going to die. No. Flipping. Way.
"£500!" Came a male's voice as everyone looked over to the far right hand corner to see a very confident Suzaku. His grinning face in the shinning in the dimmly lit ball room.
"£650!" Came a desperate cry of another fan-girl, her hands clutching her dress.
"£700!" Yelled princess Euphemia as she stood by Suzaku. Her eyes sparkling as Lelouch silently thanked his two friends.
"£1000!" Came a voice as a group of girls gathered together.
"My oh my! The auction is rocketing to the sky... I can already see the next party," sniffed Milly with joy.
"£1100!" Yelled Euphemia and Suzaku together.
"£2000-" Yelled another girl, but was interrupted as the door was bashed open. Reveling Princess Cornelia and her loyal knight.
Her face neutral as she walked towards Euphemia in the now silenced ballroom. Her steps were loud, echoing as she approached the pink haired girl. Everyone was sweating and panicking but Lelouch, Suzaku, Gino and Euphemia. Euphemia stood up straight while Suzaku and Gino stood tensely. Lelouch, still tied up, watched the scene with joy. Oh thank the gods that this auction is placed on hold.
But then, Cornelia said, "if your going to be bidding in an auction, at least make sure you win," she said before placing her arm up. "£3000!"
Stunned. The whole room was stunned as Lelouch stared at her with shocked eyes.
"£4000!" Yelled Gino as he marched himself towards the front of the ball room with a very pissed off K.K.
"What are you doing?" She hissed in his ears as his eyes sparkled while they narrowed.
"I'm going to buy Lelouch, if I buy him, he won't cause any damage," he whispered back before grabbing Suzaku's arm and pulling him towards an irritated K.K.
"£5000!" Yelled Cornelia as Euphemia just watched, not really sure what to do or say.
"Listen, we can't let the royal family get him. Who knows what will happen if they do," explained Gino as Suzaku nodded his head.
"Right," agreed Suzaku as K.K just growled, hating being ignored. "£5300!"
Glaring towards the pair of boys, Cornelia clenched her hands. "£10,000!" She yelled loudly as everyone stood in shock. That amount of money...?
"Alright then..." Whispered Milly, shocked. "Going once!" She said as everyone kept quiet. Were they even aloud to spend that much amount of money? "Going twice!" She stated as Lelouch glanced towards the determined eyes of Cornelia. "Sold to the princess!"
"And that," said Cornelia as she smirked while looking at her little sister, "is how you win an auction."
Sighing, Euphemia shook her head before looking at her sister again. "So what are you going to do with him? You won him."
Glancing towards the stage, Cornelia saw the struggling Lelouch. His hair reminded her of the former Knight of Two. His complexion, everything reminded her of Marianne somehow. "I'm going to train him. Just like Marianne did with me." She muttered fondly as she remembered her childhood.
Cornelia's childhood wasn't as everything as a princess would have wished for. It was lonely, there was only Euphemia and herself.
Her mother was always away, trying to gain the most beautiful jewels and the most power that the world could offer. And her father... She only ever saw him on the television. Never face to face.
So she took care of Euphemia, she tried to train herself. She tried to become someone that her parents would notice. Someone that they would be proud of. Someone that they would gladly call a daughter. But every time she tried, she always failed.
And then one day, she came. She was like a ray of light, a breathe of fresh air for all of the children in the palace. She helped them out with anything and everything. She played chess with Schneizel, she helped Clovis paint, she taught Odysseus some tricks. And she made Euphemia smile. And from the sidelines, Cornelia watched quietly.
Then one day, she looked towards her. "Are you alright?" She asked as her voice was soft as wind bells. Just like silk.
"Of course," replied Cornelia, not to sure what else to say.
"You ever tried fencing?" Asked Marianne with a gleam to her eyes.
And that was what stunned Cornelia. Marianne was a true Knight. Loyal, strong, loving. She was like the mother to all the children in the palace. And most of the children loved her.
But then... The guns, the bullets. She was shot in the garden. But she wasn't the only one. Cornelia's biological mother was shot at the same time as well. They were both shot, as well as some other women as well.
She lost two mothers in one day. And everyone was mourning in their own way.
The words that Cornelia will always remember Marianne by, would have to be, "It is an honor to die for ones country. And that is why I am a knight. If I were to ever disappear, remember me as a true knight. A person who died for our beloved country." Those words were spoken to Cornelia and Lelouch as they spent the day with Marianne in the forest. Their Knightmares were resting at the side.
