Chapter 11
THAT VERY DAY IN THE AFTERNOON AT ASHFORD ACADEMY; STUDENT COUNCIL ROOM
"Really? You want to meet Princess Euphemia?" Asked the surprised Suzaku who was staring at the standing Nina.
"T-To thank her! Just thank her..." She said, staring at not only Suzaku but also, Milly, Rivalz, Nunnally, Leloucia, Rai, and Clara. Milly was the one to explain to the group after suzaku and Nina had spoken.
"She rushed herself to protect Nina during the hotel jacking. If it weren't for Princess Marrybell then who knows what would happen next?" Milly told Suzaku yet didn't know someone jolted at hearing the name. It was the blonde, Naruto who was sitting at the window seat unnerved while staying silent. His silence was noticed the most by Leloucia who kept glancing over towards him to get a clue to what's wrong.
"Hey Naruto, what do you think? Would you want to meet Princess Euphemia or Princess Marryb—" Rivalz was cut off by Naruto suddenly standing up which surprised him before he heads for the door yet he was limping somewhat, not only that but during the day he was seen to be in some pain in his rib area. The one to notice this immediately after seeing him was Kallen who sat at the desk away from everyone with a book in hand, glancing over to Naruto worriedly and thinking that must have been the side-effect of those two Knightmare frames fighting him.
"I'm, going to be leaving early for today. I'm not really feeling quite well today." Hearing that has surprised them all as they watched him walk out of the room. Seeing this, Leloucia just stares worriedly at him since for the entire day here he's been acting out of reach from her and others yet when asked why he acts like that he doesn't answer. Leloucia's train of thought was cut off by feeling someone nudge her and turns to see Milly who sat on her left of the four-seater couch looking at her.
"Did something happen to Naruto yesterday, he's been rather silent?" Hearing that had surprised the Ex-Princess yet she just looks down.
"I-I don't know..." She answered yet was thinking of this had anything to do with the mission yesterday since he was acting oddly when they met after it.
"Did you two get in a fight?" Spoke the depressed Nunnally and seeing this she immediately shakes her head.
"N-No! We didn't get in a fight, he's—" She was cut off by Rivalz.
"Then did he get in a fight, he's been holding his sides a lot as well as he's been limping?" Hearing that, Nunnally now had a distressed look on her face as Milly whacked him upside the head, gaining an "ow" from the idiot.
"Even if he did, he's really strong not to mention it was pretty noticeable that he was in good shape since all of you girls "were" drooling over—" He shuts up at seeing Leloucia, Milly, and Clara glaring at him just before Arthur was ordered to attack the poor kid who then fell backwards on his chair, yelling in pain at the cat clawed at his face with the cat's war-cries being heard throughout the area.
TEN-TWENTY MINUTES LATER AT THE BOYS DORM
Naruto opens his door slowly while thinking about everything that's happened but froze when he saw C.C laying on his bed, in her hands was the marriage proposal letter he received today.
"Leloucia won't be happy about this." Hearing that, he immediately shuts the door before turning towards her in anger.
"Why are you in here?!" He demands the light-green haired girl who sat up on his bed, staring at him.
"You've been acting weird since yesterday so I came to check on you and I found this out in the open." Hearing that, his eyes widen but glares at her.
"What will you do now?" She questions Naruto who looks away from her.
"This has nothing to do with Leloucia or you...I will handle this by myself so don't even tell her about this!" He growled at the witch who just simply smiles at him, amused like one would be amused at a particular cute puppy trying to be menacing and failing.
"You love Leloucia but your engaged to someone else. Sounds like a bad love story if you ask me...so...who's she?" Hearing that, his eyes widen and noticed her gaze directed at the fellow blonde-haired girl in a photo on his desk next to a letter. Seeing the girls face caused him to relax before he was about to approach and take the letter when his phone suddenly rang and he picks it up to see it was Shirley.
"He—" He was cut off by the other person on the line.
[Hello Zero!]
Hearing that from the unfamiliar voice, Naruto froze much to C.C's surprise at seeing the expression on his face.
"WHO ARE YOU?!" Naruto demands with anger at the voice.
[Oh, no one really. If you want to know where Shirley is then meet me up at the Narita Mountain Railcar, alone before sundown?]
Was all he heard before hanging up on his end which Naruto just stares at the phone. Seeing this didn't look good at all.
"Nar—" She was cut off by Naruto suddenly dashing out of the room in a hurry, confusing her yet she just stands up knowing somethings not right.
HOURS LATER, NEARING SUNDOWN AT THE NARITA RAILCAR
Naruto could only glare in hate at the man in front of him, the memories of how they just met flashed before his mind.
FLASHBACK
It had only been a few hours as Naruto took the shortest and fastest route to the Narita Mountain railcar, however when he arrived he saw a man with white hair and a white trench coat along with wearing a visor and sort of headphone contraption.
"So, you finally got here, and here I thought I would have to deal with poor Shirley the old fashion way." The man commented with a small grin on his face. Naruto snarled as he prepared his geass before he raised his finger upwards in a classic "oh-no-you-don't" fashion.
"Now, now, if you kill me you don't get to see poor Shirley...why don't we take the train up to the next station eh? And have a little game of chess while we're at it...even if you're so bad you think the little castle pieces jump across the board in the style of knights while the knights do the diagonal thing. Wow you suck at this game!" The man proclaimed as Naruto's eye twitched incessantly at the proclamation.
With a quiet and careful watch of the man as he approached the car the man only seemed to roll his eyes in annoyance and motioned to hurry up.
FLASHBACK END
The two sat in silence while Naruto was staring at the chess board while the train was moving upwards.
"Who the hell is this guy exactly? Not only that but where the hell is Shirley?" He thought in concerned wonder until he noticed the guy's smirk.
"Seems your still new at this game huh?" Hearing that, Naruto just glared at the smiling man.
"Oh, that look your giving me looks very scary. But please, let's continue." He told the blonde who didn't like him one bit. In less than a few minutes, Naruto only had a few chess pieces left.
"So, can I assume that I've won?" He asked Naruto just the game was ended by the train cart stopping, causing them all to fall to the floor of the cart.
"You know, I really don't like you." Hearing that, he just looks up at the guy in confusion.
"Well, you see..." As he did it, he moves his visor to reveal his Geass which Naruto immediately activates his own. The black orb just started to form into existence to be reshaped into a blade to cut his spinal cord out from the back of his neck.
"Oh, wait! You can't use your Geass to kill me or you won't be able to find Shirley, I made preparations in case you do so. Plus, I know all the rules to your little gift." Hearing that, his eyes widen all the way in realization just as he claps, the orb simply turning to dust and scattering from a still wind.
"Bingo, I can read minds with my Geass. Now, see the memory of C.C kissing you, well..." When he said it, he showed a foul expression just as Shirley appeared behind the window being the man who then smiles.
"But this plan I made still works out in the end." When he said that, he saw Shirley point a gun directly at him. It only took a few seconds for the two too now be outside of the train cart with Mao behind him and Shirley above with a gun pointed at him.
"It's Zero's...gun." She told the wide-eyed Naruto.
"Why not use your Geass? Oh wait, the same Geass that made you a murderer of so many people. Man, you are a real monster!" Hearing that, Naruto just glared at the man but can't do anything because he doesn't want to do anything in front of Shirley who could have yet decided to shoot him but that thought changes when he saw the guy take out a gun. Seeing this, Naruto just grits his teeth due to his ideas being easy as pie for the man to see through.
"This is a fitting Death for a thief like you." He told Naruto with anger evident in his tone before turning back to Shirley.
"Why not atone for your crimes? I'll even die with you." She told the guy who just stares at her before looking down at his feet.
"Got to admit, even after you caused her father's death she still loves you." Hearing that, Naruto just stares up at her.
"Crimes must be punished—" He stops right there as saw a fragment of Naruto's past the moment he caused Naruto too feel great stress. Seeing that fragment caused a bead of sweat to fall from the man's face. The images being..a bit to...messy...perhaps a he should regroup sooner than later before THOSE memories start to pop up...otherwise he might not see C.C again...or at all if he pushes those memories to hard...after all he had no reason to die by a monster's hands.
"Shirley—" He was cut off by the girl suddenly letting loose a single bullet past Naruto's cheek, causing a line of blood to appear on it since he moved his head instantly. Seeing this, tears appear on her eyes as she was struggling.
"Why are you hesitating! He killed your father! Kill him! He's just a muder—" The Man shouts again before stopping at seeing even more fragments of dead bodies and just looks up at Naruto. Fear was starting to eat at him as he looked into the slowly chilling eyes...
"Could you so kindly, shut up and let me talk to my friend?" Naruto asked politely while looking back at the Man...with him being the target for the slowly growing bloodlust and madness he just swallows before hearing movement behind him and turns to find Leloucia on the lower steps with gun in hand and pointed at him.
"How did she—" He stops there at realizing Naruto's thoughts and memories had distracted him for too long.
"Fine, fine, I'll leave." He said right before he walks into the Railcar slowly with Leloucia still pointing her gun at him but her main concern was Shirley and not wanting to kill someone in front of her. Just after he enters the cart, Shirley fell forwards which Naruto immediately goes and catches her. While this was happening, the guy was looking into his bag to take out a better gun to use but that ends when the entire cart shakes with the doors closing.
"AGAIN?! I can't believe that blonde could have distracted me this much?" He said while Naruto just watched the cart moving downwards before looking to just as the guy too saw it, it was C.C dressed as a maid with a gun in hand.
"Guess it was a good choice to alert Leloucia what was happening." The immortal witch said to herself while staring at the one inside the cart who moved to the back to see her.
"I knew it! We finally meet again! It's you! It's really you!" He shouts while throwing off his visor and earphones.
"You look wonderful, even in that outfit, C.C, I'll come to see you! I'll come see you as soon as I can! I swear! I SWEAR!" He shouts yet the girl only feels bad for him before her gaze shifts over to someone else that has caught her eye. It was Naruto who was hugging the poor girl closely to him.
"I'm...so...so sorry for what happened to your father and the pain I brought you and your mother." He told the girl he was hugging all the while she was crying.
"I pointed a gun at you, I shot you, I even threatened to kill you!" She said but all he does was shake his head.
"I don't even care about that! It's my fault entirely, your suffering, your guilt, and your tears are my sin and mine alone to bear." He told the girl who just hugs her face into his chest.
"I wanted you to be kind to me..." She truthfully said to him while all he did was grit his teeth as he hugged her closer.
"That is nothing to be ashamed about!" He told the girl while standing on the lower levels of the stairs was Leloucia who stood in silence until he looked at his best-friend.
"Even though my father is dead now!" She said but he pushes her more away so she could look at him.
"I can take it away, your pain, your suffering, your guilt, everything..." He told the poor girl who just stares at him.
"Impossible." She said just as Leloucia came into view from behind him.
"Whatever happens next, I just want you to know that you have every right to resent me. But even so I won't allow this to get in the way of allowing you to live your life unchained, so...don't forgive me for I'm about to Sin again. Leloucia, do it!" He told her before closing his eyes as he held her there just as she made eye contact with Leloucia.
"Lulu, NARU, NO DON'T!" She screamed as memories of Naruto began too vanish from her memories as the echo of Leloucia's words rung into her mind, rewriting her brains nerves to forget everything about Naruto.
THAT NIGHT AT THE MEMORIAL STONE
Currently standing in front of the memorial stone was a silent Shirley who finally turns around to be met with surprise at seeing someone she doesn't know just as the storm clouds started to gather above them.
"Excuse me, did you lose family, too?" The girl questioned the blonde-haired guy who wore civilian clothing.
"Not exactly. You see...it was a very close friend." Hearing that, Shirley only responds with "I see".
"This was the second time I lost a very close friend of mine. She was very important to me, but because of my foolishness I lost her forever." Hearing that, Shirley just gives the young man a sad look while he shows her his back.
"You loved her, didn't you?" She asked him but he just shakes his head.
"I don't really know exactly, but she truly loved me...but because of me not being able to return the same feelings, that will forever be my sin." He told her with a sad expression on his face.
"Morning will come." Hearing that, he just looks at her confused.
"I've forgotten exactly why I came out here in the first place. Maybe because I wanted to put something behind me. Well, there are some things I just can't forget and a lot of sad things, too. But morning still comes, right? That's why you shouldn't try to hold thoughts like that ba—" She stops there to see Naruto had tears falling from his eyes before turning his back to her.
"Even now, after all I've done your still helping me...you're truly, a saint." Naruto muttered, confusing the girl who watches him walk away slowly. As he exited the Cemetery he noticed Leloucia standing in the rain with an umbrella ready.
"C.C has started looking for Mao, as she calls him." Leloucia started before naruto could ask what she was doing here.
"She's looking for him right now, you go home...I'll deal with him...after all I know exactly how to deal with him now." Leloucia said as they approached a nearby cab that had been flagged down.
"Are you sure? He can find you if-" He started before Leloucia interrupted him.
"If I am in range...like I said Naruto..." at this Leloucia turned away as she gently guided him into the cab before she started to walk away, only pausing for a moment to look back at him with a cold look in her eyes, not direct at him.
"I have a plan" Was all she said while having a small smirk on her face that she usually had when she had beaten a noble at her chess gambling games. Naruto could only shack his head...he almost pitied Mao at this point.
Almost.
THE NEXT DAY AFTER THE INCIDENT, AT ASHFORD ACADEMY IN THE MORNING
A tired yawn Was the only sound that could be heard from Naruto's mouth, after what had transpired yesterday he was quite tired, having stayed up late worried for Leloucia and C.C, until Leloucia turned in with C.C in tow, it was only then he had relaxed and went back to his room after Leloucia thanked him for watching over Nunnally...though he did drop the bomb of the marriage proposal and asked if they could talk about it in the morning. While he was walking with the contemplative though tired Leloucia who was thinking about the marriage proposal that Naruto told her about last night was ordered by her...father...for him and her half-sister who also has a Geass...possibly like hers if the way he told her about their meeting was to go by and potentially outing Naruto as Zero by accident with the correct order...or worse...which could also potentially lead to both her and Nunnally, which could not be allowed. But her thoughts were silenced by the sudden arrival of Suzaku who just ran up behind them after calling their names which they looked at him with surprise.
"Good morning, I haven't seen much of you guys recently." Hearing that, Leloucia shakes her head with a sigh in disagreement.
"Aren't you forgetting about yourself?" She questioned her childhood friend who smiles.
"Mine is due to work. It's because the Order of the Black Knights have started to act." When that heard that, the two were confused.
"Aren't you in the tech—" Leloucia was cut off by hearing a yell and turn to find Rivalz suddenly sliding to a stop on his motor vehicle with Rai in the passenger seat.
"IS HE TELLING THE TRUTH NARUTO?!" Rivalz shouts as he grabs Rai by the back of his shirt, pulling him out of the side vehicle and in front of the three who could see the poor guy mouthing the words "help me".
"What do you—" He was cut off by the guy getting directly in his face.
"DID YOU KNOW ABOUT MILLY'S MARRIAGE INTERVIEW?!" He demands the blonde who was sweat dropping.
"Yea—" He was cut off by the guy grabbing him by the shirt and starts shaking him.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME—" He was finally silenced by the cat Arthur jumping on his back at it proceeds to terrorize him while everyone watched the poor guy shouting in pain then at the cat who retreats into the arms of Carla.
"He wouldn't stop causing problems." She honestly answered which they all agreed mentally but he wasn't done since the blue-haired idiot grabs Naruto by his legs.
"This isn't over yet, we—" He was silenced by the cat jumping onto him again while it begins ruthlessly clawing at him, gaining only sweat drops from everyone who just stare at the poor idiot.
And then after a moment or two, with Suzaku slowly edging away until he knocked a stone askew...which Arthur had picked up and locked eyes onto Suzaku's own.
"Run" Was the word Naruto could only utter as Suzaku made a manly shriek of terror as Arthur imitated an alien face hugger by leaping at Suzaku, trying to turn him into his own personal chew toy...with MUCH success.
Needless to say, everyone nearby felt pity for the second poor fool who had earned the demon cat of Ashford Academies attention, along with his personnel scratching post.
TEN MINUTES LATER AT THE GIRLS DORM, NUNNALLY'S ROOM
The two had silently walked through the dorm towards Nunnally's room and while they did so, Naruto kept glancing over towards Leloucia since she's been awfully quiet but before he said anything they had arrived just as the door slides open.
"Nunnally—" She stops cold to see that my Nunnally wasn't anywhere to be seen inside the room but origami pieces folded into cranes, move around a single picture the two immediately approach and found it to reveal Nunnally but tied up. Seeing this had caused Naruto's eyes to widen in shock while Leloucia on the other hand's face slowly twisted into a great fury. before they could do anything they both heard Leloucia's phone go off which she answers.
"Hello?" Leloucia said before the two heard a voice that shocks them.
[Sister!]
At those words, Leloucia sat up straighter then she had ever before with near panic in her voice as she replied.
"Nunnally! Where are you right now?" Leloucia questions her younger sibling but she could only respond with not knowing but what she did say was that she couldn't move.
"Nunnally!" She shouts but that was when they heard the voice they hated.
[Lulu, it's me.]
Hearing that, Naruto grits his teeth in anger having thought he was dead, Leloucia having told him what happened that Night when both C.C and her had encountered Mao at the carnival grounds.
[You two were careless. You thought that I was dead?]
"Hold on, Mao. C.C isn't here right now—" Leloucia was cut off by Mao.
[That's why I came. Someone who isn't affected by Geass is such a nuisance. I'll save that encounter for later. I really can't accept the gift you offered me the other day.]
Leloucia only responds to his question while unable to think because of his ability, or at least properly make a plan.
"You should be somewhere within a 500m radius from us, right?" She questions the psycho who only confirms it and even tells them they need to find them.
[The time limit is five hours. Also, this is more so a rematch between me and Naruto so don't try and get in my way too much again, otherwise your little sister will meet a...unfortune end...bye!]
With that said, he hangs up just as Leloucia turns to see Naruto already running out the door. With that, the two begin running around the entire academy trying to find Mao and Nunnally.
It didn't take long for the two too meet up again but this time at an elevator of all places.
"This doesn't make any sense, the only way Nunnally and Mao could not be seen around the academy or its grounds, they have to be in the tunnels you told me about. Now that I think about it, did we hear running water when we were talking to Mao and Nunnally? Naruto questioned Leloucia who confirms what was just said with a sharp nod just as she puts her key card in but it was denied which caused her to have to hack into it, taking only a few seconds before they entered.
"So, we're going all the way down?" Naruto asked Leloucia who nods again but instead of talking about Nunnally, Naruto brought up a different problem.
"Leloucia...are you ok, ever since a few days ago, you've—" He was cut off by Leloucia speaking.
"We're here..." Just after saying that, the moment the elevator opened up, without thinking Leloucia took two steps out and her eyes widen to see a machine gun pointed directly at her. All she heard was "get down" just as Naruto tackled her to the floor in order to dodge gun fire while a kunai was thrown at the gun, causing it to explode but instead of going onwards, the two were frozen because Naruto was on top of Leloucia, both staring at one another before she looks away to her right in order to break eye contact with him.
"Lulu...is your silence about me not telling you about Shirley or is it about me hiding the marriage proposal?" When he asked that, he could see the bothered look on his face yet instead of pushing the question more he stood up straight in order to help her stand just before the two hurried along. In a short amount of time the two of them find themselves within the sewer room where Nunnally could be seen sitting while hanging above her was an object. The two could only say her name as they run towards her, alerting the girl of her saviors.
"Sister, Naruto." The poor blind girl said while they approach it but as they did the very noticeable thing hanging above Nunnally's head was finally spoken when Naruto mentioned it to Leloucia who proceeded to stop him.
"A bomb..." Hearing that, Naruto immediately activates his Geass as he plans to try and contain the explosion while that saved her but they were stopped when Naruto got a call and he answers it.
[Lulu's right, a bomb indeed! A girl who's a genius while having a beast as her strength, don't you two make a good pair! But Naruto, you should know that thing is packed with Sakuradite so even your strongest shield won't be able to contain the explosion, even if you blocked it you might cause the entire sewer system to collapse on itself. That's not counting what would happen you and your precious girls!]
With that, he hangs up and leaving the two of them by themselves which Leloucia just looks to at the bomb.
"Nunnally, we'll get you out of here so just be patient." Naruto told the girl who couldn't help but smile as she gives a nod of understanding before he looks at Leloucia who spoke.
"A motion sensitive Sakuradite bomb? A solenoid is used to provide the energy necessary for it to remain in constant movement. If any external forces are applied to the bomb, it'll..." Hearing that, Naruto just grits his teeth at not knowing what he can do.
"Do you have any idea the explosion range?" Hearing that, Naruto places a hand on his chin.
"Mao isn't that insane so he must be out of the range and seeing as he's used Sakuradite its most likely over 500m..." Hearing that, Leloucia looks over at the concerned Naruto.
"Find Mao." When Naruto heard that, he turns fast towards Leloucia to see the expression on her face.
"Are you insane, I'm the best chance for us to get out of here alive! Why would you try and—" He was cut off by Leloucia whispering to him.
"Mao is most likely watching both of us right now. I need you to go keep him distracted since even if I go, he can still read my mind not to mention your Geass can protect yourself in case he has a gun." Hearing that, he just shakes his head.
"Leloucia, how do you even plan on diffusing that without me here? I'm not—" He was cut off by his best-friend speaking to him in a more serious tone.
"I need to stay here and make sure my sister is alright even if it will be far from easy to diffuse a bomb like that. Besides..." What she said next had stopped Naruto completely.
"You of all people should know how smart I am, and that includes you knowing you can trust me with something like this." Hearing that, his eyes just widen at seeing that confident look on his face which he had no choice but to listen after he sighs.
"Fine, but if you die I will never forgive you!" Hearing that, she only nods in response to his words.
40 MINUTES LATER, AT THE CHURCH LOCATED ON ASHFORD PROPERTY
Naruto entered the church slowly to find Mao sitting down on a wooden chair right before he stood up to greet him and before Naruto could do anything he opens up his shirt to reveal a DMS linked to Sakuradite which his eyes widen all the way in shock.
"Welcome, Mr. Heart Stealer! You didn't think I had any plans in case you tried to kill me here? Not only would my death cause this to explode but if this one goes off then the one above Nunnally will explode, too!" Hearing that, Naruto grits his teeth in anger at hearing that but he was surprised to see Mao reveal a chess board connected to a balance scale, seeing it caused Naruto to dislike it greatly since he was that good at chess. Even so he walked to the side that had the black chess pieces while Mao took the white.
"This balance is both the detonation and the dismantling switch for the bomb. The chess piece captured from the opponent is placed on it. If the needle swings towards my side completely, the bomb will be detonated. If the needle swings towards your side completely, it will be disabled so Nunnally and Leloucia will be saved if you win. But don't even think about using your Geass to restrain me either! I've made some special precautions in case you try anything against me." Hearing that, Naruto just simply glared at him.
"Why are you dragging others into this when this is basically between me and you. Do you hate me because of what you saw in my memories?" Hearing that, Mao didn't say it but he could hardly read Naruto's memories. It was the fact that his past memories were so broken that they were creating a shield in a way to prevent him from digging up memories he wasn't thinking about, he saw the memory of C.C kissing him on his helmet while naked but not what he has heard being said since knowing of Mao's connection with C.C caused him to think of that.
"It's pointless to say anything, since your thoughts are all clear to me." Lied the psycho Geass user who proceeded to start the life and death game in less than a few minutes Naruto was down by five pieces. Seeing this, he was already sweating a lot. Needless to say, he had to be corrected by Mao of all things during the match which annoyed the obsessed Geass user.
"You're not the type that can think your way out of this, in fact I'm pretty sure you suck at this game." Hearing that, Naruto grits his teeth and was about to activate his Geass when he saw Mao shake his head just after taping his DMS.
"Kill me then die, restrain me...well, you wouldn't like what I would have planned since this is my last chance at dealing with you guys." He told Naruto who continues to glare at him before back down at the game board, yet with ever move Naruto becomes more and more hopeless because of Mao's Geass.
"I must say, you aren't wrong...seeing that and other memories of C.C and you." As he said it, he took another chess piece of Naruto's and placed it in the scale.
"Pisses me off..." He said, finding enjoyment out of Naruto's horror slowly creeping on his face and that horror introduced Mao to something he hadn't known of.
"Awww, is someone still crying over the death of one of their childhood friends?" When Naruto heard that, his eyes widen all the way just as Mao started clapping.
"Ahaha, a sensitive subject huh? That girl was no one just like her family, an Eleven! It must've been a miracle she somehow got into that private school with you and placed in the same class as well. But alas, your best friend, your first friend...she was executed because her family was suspected of being a terrorist and I must say executing someone that young for being a suspected Terrorist, it must've been pretty painful indeed! Ehehehahahahah! Guess you're going to have that same feeling but much worse when that bomb goes off, you've been placed into a corner!" He said, laughing at the horror on Naruto face.
"I'll do anything, please just—" He was silenced by Mao clapping his hands.
"So precious, you acted like such a strong willed young man but when pushed to your breaking point you're a worthless piece of shit! This feels absolutely wonderful, indeed! However, no. With this..." As he said it, Naruto's eyes widen all the way as he watched the man lift his chess piece.
"With this..." He said, moving it to a new spot, causing Naruto's heartbeat to take a rapid increase.
"Check..." He said, tossing it over towards the scale and with-it Naruto's entire world froze in place, watching it hit the scale and with it his world shatters, causing him to fall to his knees in disbelief as tears began falling from his eyes, showing an expression as if his minds been shattered and just stares into space while Mao just laughs before he takes out his video camera.
"Now, how does it feel to get exploded into pieces—" He stops there at seeing the video feed showing Nunnally was unchanged.
"Why...? How?" Mao said but Naruto wasn't listening, tears were running down his face as his vision became blurry, replaced by his shattered memories where he saw images of a long blonde hair and dark pink eyes.
(Your orders are clear...)
As he heard that, the fractured memories started to move and be placed in different areas in front of his eyes just as he saw a person appear in front of him, a kid no less with blonde hair and dark pink eyes.
(Exterminate all who threaten Britannia, after all you are our most faithful weapon; Naruto Vers Namikaze.)
Hearing those words, Naruto suddenly began to scream as he grabbed his head in utter pain just as Mao was hit with hundreds of brutal and bloodthirsty memories that caused terror to form on his face as he starts to take steps back in fear while seeing his left eye transform to reveal a second Geass. As this happened, armor started forming on his face as blue geo-metric lines began running over the armor and morphing it. The black organic armor bulged and twisted while a parody of Zero's helmet formed on his head while the geometric lines formed the "gaps" in-between the plates. While sharp claws seemed to grow from his fingers, bending almost as if they were organic on Naruto and now long knife-like fingers.
As Mao watched this, he was taking steps back in shock as Naruto grabbed his head in pain and starts banging it over and over again on the ground, leaving small crater like impacts from each time he did it until the helmet splits open to reveal many razor-sharp teeth and a silver forked-tongue, with it a scream was released that shattered all the windows, there phones, and Mao's visor to pieces. Stunned said man for holding his ears from the sound attack just after falling on his ass. After that, the transformed Naruto who was on all fours was licking the sides of the helmet in hunger while showing a terrifying smile.
"What the hell are you?" Mao whispered at the monstrosity that walked in a eerie manner of a spider approaching its prey.
"I aM tHe BiRd Of HeRmEs!" The thing snarled as a geass symbol burned into the visor of the "armor".
"No..." Whispered Mao as he was starting to crawl away, every time he tried standing up he was knocked back down by the memories it was regaining, it was surging forward into this...abomination of nature's mind that was terrorizing him.
"EaTiNg My OwN WiNgS!" It hissed as it crouched down to almost the level of the floor.
"NO" Mao screamed as he lurched backwards towards the windows but finally was able to stand. If one looked at the scene they would have seen that the area almost darkened...one could say it was the clouds overhead that did it, but the setting itself.
"To mAkE MySelF TaMe!" the abomination shrieked as it lurched forward with enough force to crack the concrete ground, as well as gouging out wherever it places a hand or foot as it raced towards Mao's running form. It was only due to Mao tripping over a piece of rock that he wasn't turned to mush and shredded meat and bone from a rampaging Naruto. As it was, he did get a long 3 clawed gashes across his back to the bone. It was only then he remembered the Dead-man's switch as well as the sakuradite bomb while the monster stood over him.
At least that was one of his last thoughts before he saw C.C standing at the doorway with a gun in hand looking horrified at the scene...before he disappeared in a flash agony of claws and teeth as well as a pink glow...before it was incased within a black sphere that separated the front portion of his chest from the rest of his body.
(((((Fallen ryu-at this point even, I'm not comfortable to say what happens to Mao, but to anyone who has seen and read hellsing ultimate both manga and the anime…kudos to you!)))))
The wide-eyed C.C has just watched what only could be described as a abomination of nature or fading back to her past...a demon from her old faith. The Beast itself was bathing in the blood of Mao as it was ripping apart of what remained of his body. The beast just looks up from the body before standing up on both of its legs that had changed into more hind like animal legs such as a fox in a way.
"Eheheheh." Was the warped giggling sound that escaped from the monster's mouth while two glowing red dots could be seen from the helmet like visor. Seeing this, C.C's eyes just narrow as she entered the church with the doors closing behind her.
"You're not mindless abomination, aren't you...your shattered memories returned to how they once were." When she said that, the helmet opens up completely to reveal a crying Naruto who's Geass was in both eyes.
"They turned me into a weapon, day after day they conducted experiments on my body and mind in order to increase my Geass. I was but a weapon to not only them but my father, I was their strongest weapon against "them"...in the end, I... ehehahahahah." He just started to laugh as he showed a psychotic expression, beyond Mao's.
"IN THE END THEY HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO SHATTER MY MEMORIES AND REPLACE THEM WITH DIFFERENT ONES! I BECAME TOO DANGEROUS, TOO UNCONTROLLABLE AFTER HAVING KILLED ALL THE SCIENTISTS RUTHLESSLY AFTER I FINALLY MADE THE DECISION TO KILL EVERY BRITANNIAN IN THIS WORLD, IF I DID THAT THEN THEY WON'T HAVE TO FEAR THE UPCOMING WAR BECAUSE THEY WOULD ALL BE DEAD! AHAHAHAHAH!" Naruto laughs as C.C glared at him.
"I have no choice." When the immortal witch said that, she suddenly charges at Naruto who simply tilts his head and in a mere second his left arm had a massive blade form on it which he proceeded to pierce through C.C's chest, lifting her upwards in the air as her blood trickled down the blade and some bits of it fell down on his face before pulling her directly towards him, being face to face with C.C who was still awake with a pained expression, well not so much he expected...
"It's time to begin the purge...but first, I need to find Barba—" He was stopped by C.C's hands suddenly reaching up to his face, touching his face which his eyes just widen.
"Give me back, Naruto." As she said that, she starts to lean forward just as Naruto was speaking.
"What are you—" Just as he was saying that, the moment her lips met his her Geass symbol on her forehead glowed brightly just as her power shattered Naruto's memories a second time in his life. When this happened, a very bright rainbow light was released which thankfully no one was nearby due to classes. The only one who saw this was Leloucia who was running towards the building. By the time she arrived, she was met with a tearful unconscious Naruto covered in blood as he lay unconscious on C.C lap who was brushing blond hair.
"It seems, he became worse than Mao." C.C muttered while staring down at Naruto sadly.

NEXT TIME, THE PARTY; NARUTO AND MARRYBELL MEET.
Omake 1: Naruto's getting WHAT!?
Purple eyes burned in indignation at the letter the maid Sayoko had brought her after finding it left open in Naruto's room.
Inconceivable…absolutely inconceivable, how dare father take away naruto and pawn him off to one of her half-siblings!? And one that is rumored to be in the process of taking out terrorists to boot! If it had been Euphie she would have been peeved and plotted a way to put suzaku into her graces more than naruto, or even the numerous other siblings…after all leloucia isn't the only genius on the block thank you very much! It's just a little bit harder to have to pretend to read braille and keep her grades to the just above average in order for he plans to move forward without anyone noticing poor little nunally.
However, now how can things go as planned now?! Well there was THAT operation, but that should only be used if things became desperate and the fact their love for each other was so bad and open that even the most blind and deaf person could tell they loved each other VERY much…hmmm the merits of the plan versus the cons would have to suffice for now until an opening can be made. Perhaps miss C.C can help identify more girls to be available for the plan? She did feel something C.C had for naruto…and maybe the new girl kallen to…hmmmm….
"Sayoko…the time-table is to be move forward…" the girls voice echoed through the room as said ninja maid looked slightly worried at her charge…it was rare after all for one of her charges to lose her temper…but for this one to do so bluntly?
As if reading her mind her charge turned her head abruptly towards her.
"This cannot stand…begin operation 'lovely day'" the girl declared in a rather dramatic way as the ninja maid bowed to her mistress and left to begin the preparations.
As she left sayoko wasn't sure on who to pity…her mistress leloucia or master naruto for what her current mistress planned for them.
While sayoko left the room nunally vi Britannia could only lower her head to shadow her eyes…
"I WILL have cute nieces and nephews…wherever you like it or not big sister…though with how your journals are read…" here nunally let oh a cute little crackle of glee.
"I so look forward to my future nieces and nephews!" she declared as her purple eyes burned with determination.
The era of the information broker Infinity has begun…and the plan to have naruto and leloucia to make plenty of nieces and nephews to spoil to!
OMAKE END😂
