Hey everyone. Thanks for waiting for the last chapter of the story. I should be back on track now updating things regularly but we'll see how it goes. Thanks for the reviews and enjoy the story.

Chapter 10: The End of a Reign:

Suzaku opened his eyes, waking up the next morning. The sun was shining clearly after the rain last night. When he glanced over, Euphemia was nowhere to be found. Worried that she had left, he sat up quickly. He rushed into the hall and seen that her clothes were gone from the dryer. Thinking about what she said last night, he put on his clothes as fast as he could and rushed out of the door. He knew where she was going.

At the dock of the Black Knights, Euphemia walked toward the base passed the crates. No one was around to stand guard. Her face remained serious as she gripped a knife tighter in her hand. Her talk with Suzaku had remained in her head. The only way that this would end is if Lelouch was dead. If Lelouch had tried to use his geass, she knew he couldn't do anything to her. The effects of his geass could only be used once.

Euphemia walked inside and headed for Lelouch's room. A few Black Knights had passed her along the way but they didn't suspect a thing about what she was up to. She acted calm as she usually would around them and hid the knife somewhere where they wouldn't see. Kallen was walking in the hallway when Euphemia passed by her. Kallen was surprised to see her since she hadn't seen her since last night. "Euphie?"

Euphemia didn't stop walking. She had nothing to say to Kallen and wanted to stay focus on her target. A concerned look came to Kallen's face as she looked back at Euphemia but then decided to leave her alone and continued walking.

Euphemia walked into Lelouch's room that was at the other end of the base. Once she had entered in, she had seen Lelouch sitting on the edge of his bed with his arms crossed. With his security cameras on the outside and his monitors on the inside, he knew that she was coming. He smiled. "Euphie? What brings you here? You went missing last night."

Euphemia was a little worried around him but she had to make up some kind of excuse to Lelouch. "I was just walking around."

Lelouch stood up from his bed. "You're a bad liar Euphie."

Suddenly, two Black Knights came in. Euphemia tried to pull out her knife but the two men grabbed her by her arms, forcing the knife out of her hand. Lelouch walked a little closer to Euphemia. Euphemia turned her attention back to him. She was concerned about what he was going to do to her. "I all ready figured it out. You remembered Suzaku for a while now."

Euphemia had filled with anger rapidly. She struggled to get free from the two knights holding her but it was no use. "I'll kill you for what you did to me! You made me forget and kill my family!"

Lelouch smiled. It didn't matter if Euphemia had known what he had done. There wasn't much she could do about it. "I could make you forget again or I could just get rid of you know. Even if you returned back to Britannia, they would kill you for what you've done. That only leaves me to rule it."

The Black Knights pushed Euphemia down to her knees. The ends of their guns were pressed to her head. She closed her eyes. To her, it was better this way because of all she had done. Before they could pull the trigger, Lelouch's door had slid open and someone quickly rushed in. The Black Knights were slit at their throats. Instantly, their dead bodies fell to the ground. One of the guns they had was picked up off the ground in the pool of blood.

Euphemia looked shocked. She looked up to see Suzaku looking down at her. Both Lelouch and she marveled about how he got in. Suzaku held out his hand in front of her. Euphemia put her hand in his and stood up. Afterwards, Suzaku had his gun pointed at Lelouch with a serious look on his face as if he was ready to do what Euphemia was going to: Kill him.

"Suzaku!" Lelouch looked angry but Suzaku could see a look of fright in his eyes. Suzaku held the gun tighter, controlling his urge to shoot right away. Still, what Lelouch had done to the woman he loves kept running through his mind. "Lelouch. You have done so much to hurt us. You ruined Euphie's life and made her do terrible things. You ruined my plans to save her. You just used her and now the guilt will be with her for the rest of her life. There's one more thing we can't let you do and that's take over Japan. Euphie. Finally, you're free from Lelouch."

Euphemia was stunned. Those words to all of them meant that it was over. Soon after, Suzaku pulled the trigger. Lelouch fell back on his bed as his eyes had widened. Blood was running down his head like a river. His eyes were open up toward the ceiling. Suzaku put his gun at his side. There was no regret about what he did. He looked back at Euphemia. "The Black Knights had to have heard that shot."

Euphemia was worried and looked back to make sure that they weren't coming yet. "We have to get out of here." she said.

Suzaku pick the other gun off of the ground and handed it to Euphemia. They were going to need it if they were going to escape. She stared at it for the moment she was standing still. A little part of her had remorse for what happened to Lelouch but at least now no one else had to suffer. They ran out into the hall and headed toward the door. A few minutes later, C.C. walked out to the room where Lelouch was holding a spoon in her mouth and a bowl in hand. Her neutral face expression didn't change once she saw Lelouch's dead body lying on his bed. "Hm. Now I'll have no one to set me free."

Suzaku and Euphemia managed to get through the Black Knights and make it outside. Their eyes widened at what they saw in front of them once they did. Soldiers from Britannia were waiting for them. On top of a crate, Anya was looking down on them. Suzaku looked surprised and wondered how Anya had found them. "Anya!"

She kept a serious look on her face. "As ordered, Suzaku Kururugi, you are no longer a Knight of Seven. You are now an enemy of Britannia."

Suzaku was shocked by the news. "How?"

"These aren't my orders." Anya answered.

Suzaku growled. The more he had thought about it, maybe he was granted as an enemy for helping Euphemia. It seemed as if they were trapped. The Britannian soldiers started coming closer to them but then the Black Knights came out. The Black Knights were surprised to see that Britannian soldiers were there on their territory. "Britannian soldiers? What are they doing here?"

"Hey! Get away from here! This is our place!" one of them shouted out.

Euphemia and Suzaku ran off to the side, seeing that the battle was going be between Britannia and the Black Knights. Anya watched as they ran off. The soldiers waited for her orders for a few seconds before she had finally spoken. "Get the Black Knights." The soldiers ran in and a fight broke out between them. Anya decided she would wait before she would hunt down Suzaku.

Weeks had passed since Euphemia and Suzaku had escaped from the soldiers and the Black Knights. They had managed to sneak out of Japan to find an isolated place in another country. Euphemia sat on the edge of a green but empty hill, looking at the sunset ahead. Even though things were peaceful for now, she knew Suzaku and she were still fugitives. Suzaku smiled as he came and sat beside her. She smiled back at him. They turned and looked at the sky together.

Suddenly, Suzaku had turned his head backwards. Behind them were Britannian soldiers. One of them had their weapon pointed toward the both of them. "Suzaku Kururugi. Euphemia Li Britannia. You are both under arrest."

Suzaku smiled gently at Euphemia who just smiled back. "So? How do you want to get out of this this time?" Suzaku asked.

Euphemia continued to stare at Suzaku smiling. She had an idea in mind. Quickly, Suzaku moved away from the range of the gun. He got up and tossed the soldier over. Suzaku and Euphemia fought against the few soldiers until all of them were down to where they couldn't get up anymore or knocked out. Soon after, they ran off to their next hiding spot.

Well that's it for the story. I hoped that you liked it and as always if you liked it, let me know. I know that Lelouch was really evil in this one but I wanted to make him be the bad guy. Also feel free to check out other Code Geass stories. Thanks.
