Code Shugo Geass Chara: Amulettia of the Revival
By: Ame Haru


Move 21: Geass Canceler


"Chotto, Amu-chan!" Kallen yelled at Amu as she ran out the kitchen door and out the front door. Kallen sighed heavily as she began chopping the vegetables more viciously.

"Geez... What was the point of Lelouch asking her to live here if he asks her to come over there every night!" Kallen muttered, venom filling her voice, "If he needs her so badly, then he should ask her to live with him instead.

"Ne, Nii-chan?" Kallen yelled, but instantly regretted it as she saw the look in his face. He still had his arms tucked behind his head as he stayed fixated on the same spot.

"Onii-san?" Kallen said in a softer tone, "You can't seriously be jealous of Amu-chan and Suzaku. They're like brother and sister."

Ikuto remained silent, but Kallen noticed a slight twitch as she mentioned Suzaku's name. She instantly burst out laughing, annoying Ikuto even more.

"It's so obvious that your jealous." Kallen snickered, holding her stomach as she laughed, "You're totally out of character right now!"

Ikuto glared at Kallen, instantly shutting her up. He didn't need anyone restating the obvious. Ikuto focused on what he didn't find obvious instead, like the conversation Amu had only moments ago.

"What happened to C.C.?" Amu had yelled at the person whom she had been talking to.

'C.C... That's the girl that Tamaki keeps saying is Zero's lover, right?' Ikuto thought as Kallen went back to cooking. Ikuto began digging deeper into his thoughts to help making the situation make more sense to him.

"Amu said that she wanted to join the Black Knights, you know. She probably discovered that I was part of the Black Knights and followed me into that warehouse." Kallen had muttered back when Amu was in her coma.

'Knowing C.C., does that mean that Amu's already part of the Black Knights?' Ikuto continued to think.

"Joker, you know what to do!" Zero said during their last mission.

'That would explain why she rushed towards Narita even though she was still recovering from the refrain.' Ikuto concluded, 'But what's her reason? She still has all her chara, so her heart hasn't gone black.

'A promise of some sort?' Ikuto thought, 'She always keeps those, no matter how stupid.'

"You're face is going to get stuck like that if you keep thinking that hard." Kallen pointed out, "Amu would definitely chose Suzaku over you if you always had that face."

Ikuto sighed heavily as he stood up from his spot. Kallen stopped what she was doing and followed Ikuto out of the kitchen.

"Where are you going now?" Kallen shouted he hands on her hips.

"Out." Ikuto decided to answer, not too sure where he was going himself.

"Be back for dinner!" Kallen yelled, "And if you find Amu-chan, drag her back here, even if you have to drag Lelouch here too!"

Ikuto didn't answer as he closed the front door behind him, sighing at how much Kallen had reminded him of his own sister, Utau.

Ikuto froze in place as images of Utau began to fill his head, her voice sounding a lot like Kallen since he hasn't seen her in a while. Even so, Ikuto began to remember all the times he had with Utau, though they were very few of them. And most of them involved her getting ready to rip off Amu's head just for being in the same area as her.

Ikuto laughed off the image of Amu cowering in fear at the sight of Utau and began jogging towards the amusement park, his bare instincts pulling him towards that place.

"I had a look at the plan to reorganize the Black Knights." Lelouch said, "There are a few parts I'd like to improve, but I generally get the idea. I'll run your idea by Ohgi, too."

"Thank you." Diethard replied.

"I'd like you to add a chart that forecasts how all the cells function as a group in the next version. We'll talk later."

Lelouch closed the call, but kept his phone attached to his ear as he tossed aside the information data he had received from him on top of his computer.

'Diethard, he's Britannian, but he's proving even more useful than I expected.' Lelouch thought, 'I can't eliminate the possibility that he's a spy, but...'

Lelouch sighed as he took of his cell phone from his ear. The screen of his cell still read one voice message, even though he had answered every call that day. That could only mean one thing.

'That call from Mao...' Lelouch thought, 'What could he have said to C.C.?'

~コードしゅごギアスキャラ:あむれちあのリヴァイヴァル~

Amu jumped the high wall to Clovisland, the closest amusement park to Kallen's house. She landed gracefully on her two feet and quickly built up her guard, clutching the gun that she always had at her side.

None of the rides were on as she walked through the amusement park, trying to look for Mao in the dark. She paused in the center of the amusement, watching as the memories refilled her mind. Memories of the times Ikuto snuck them both into the amusement park back in Osaka and spend hours riding the rides until their hearts were content.

"Only little kids play at amusement parks! I'm too old for this!"

"No one's watching."

"Which one first!"

Amu sighed and continued to walk, stopping at her favorite ride: the tea cups. They were similar to the ride back home, but Amu knew that those have been destroyed, either by the construction company that was already planning to destroy the park by Spring of that year or by the Britannians when they finally realized that they forgot to take over Osaka.

"HAHA!" Amu could hear her old self laughing in the back of her mind. She could visualize herself and Ikuto sitting in the tea cups, spinning round and round. Neither of them really fitted in the tea cup together so the had to hold on to their legs as they sat.

"This totally doesn't fit your character!" Amu had laughed.

"You're laughing too hard..." Ikuto said, his character still hold back his feelings.

"Gomen! Gomen! It's just too funny!" Amu laughed as she wiped away the tears from her eyes, "I could never show this chara to my family."

"Why not? They're your family."

"Yeah, but I'm not my true self at home." Amu explained, "It's because at home I have to act like a good older sister. I have a younger sister, so I have to act responsible. Whenever we go to amusement parks, we always go on the rides she wants to go on.

"It's not like I hate doing that, but it's nice to ride the rides I want once in a while." Amu said with a smile on her face.

"You're strong." Ikuto had said.

"Maybe if I pretended and became someone else, I'd be easier for me too." a loud, booming voice said, snapping Amu out of her thoughts. In that same instant, the lights and sounds of the rides began to swirl around Amu, making her uneasy as she tried to locate Mao.

"Amulettia!" C.C. shouted. Amu spun around and locked her gaze onto C.C. who was on the other side of the merry-go-round. Amu blew out a sigh of relief once she realized that C.C. was safe. But C.C.'s familiar gaze made Amu worry about what Mao has in store for the both of them.

"Why are you two so quiet?" Mao said as he suddenly appeared on the carousel, riding one of the white mechanical horses. Amu turned her focus and glared at him, making sure that she activated Miki's geass, even trying to read Mao's mind, which she wasn't able to do.

"Don't worry, Amulettia, your geass and mine cancel each other out. But I know you were thinking of that scene, weren't you?" Mao said, "I could tell by the look in your eyes. You're so easy to read. Or maybe it's because I know your mind from the inside out by now."

"As childish as ever, I see." C.C. scolded.

"I'd like you to call me your prince on a white horse." Mao said, "I came here for you, after all."

Amu ignored Mao's childish ranting, trying to figure out a plan of attack that would leave both her and C.C. feeling guilt free about Mao's death. She wanted Mao to have the most excruciating and worst possible type of death a person might think of, but C.C. would end up killing herself as many times as she could in compensation.

"Amu-chan, are you happy that your "Nii-chan" has come to see you?" Mao said, focusing his attention onto her, since C.C. refused to talk anymore.

Amu tensed as Mao's sudden calm demeanor, the complete opposite of his normal character. She reached for the gun at her side, preparing to use it if Mao acted in the way she was expecting him to.

"Since I can't read your mind or C.C.'s, most of the time anyways, you two have become my life lines." Mao said as he took off his head set.

"Mao-nii-chan!~" Amu exclaimed excitedly, "Let's go to the amusement park today!"

"Iie..." Amu said as she listened to her own voice repeating itself over and over again.

"Thank you for listening to my thoughts, Onii-chan."

"Ehh! You know C.C. too! Thank goodness! That means I have someone to talk to about Geass now!"

"You're the best, Onii-chan!"

"STOP IT!" Amu yelled as she pulled out her gun from it's holding and pointed it straight towards Mao. Tears were forcing their way past Amu's clutched eyelids. She never meant to become close to Mao, especially since she knew his geass would continue to overpower hers.

"But if I didn't find you when C.C. abandoned you, you'd still be a refrain-user working as a prostitute on the streets of Nagasaki."

"Iie! C.C. would've found me!" Amu said, "And even if she didn't, I would've realized that I could've used Geass to help me survive."

"Amu! He's just trying to mess up your thoughts so you can't think straight!" C.C. shouted.

"That's why you recovered from the refrain so quickly." Mao continued to play, "It was because your body was so used to it by that point. You were even using it to recover from your visions up until you heard that Lelouch was alive."

"Why are you bring that up, anyways!" Amu yelled, "It won't work you know! Nothing you can say can faze my decisions!"

"But I know Amu-chan's still a virgin." Mao said, "Demanding the money first before killing the poor person. Or killing the person before taking their money. It depended on how badly you needed the money."

"I'm not listening!" Amu shouted, though the rest of her started to shake uncontrollably.

"Not only were you a prostitute who used refrain, but you were a heartless murderer. Or rather, still are." Mao continued to say.

"I never heartlessly killed anybody!" Amu said, getting ready to pull the trigger on her gun.

"Then you passionately killed someone? Using all your heart and soul to make that person suffer?"

"I would never-!" Amu began to say, but Mao interrupted her.

"Is that why you joined the Black Knights?" Mao asked, "So that you could kill people with the alibi of doing it for justice?"

"I only killed those people because they supported the emperor!" Amu shouted.

"But they never did wrong to you." Mao continued, "Only the emperor himself kicked you out of the Empire, so he should be your only target. Nobody in between should be involved with your revenge."

"They're still willingly working under the empire!"

"So you'd kill Suzaku-kun?" Mao said. Amu's blood froze as she heard his voice.

"The boy who you see as a better brother than Lelouch?" Mao said, "The man whom you thought you were going to marry one day before Ikuto came along? But even then, you paid more attention to him then your own fiancé."

Amu hesitated for a moment, almost completely dropping her guard. Kill Suzaku? The idea was absolutely horrendous and the thought probably wouldn't even have crossed he mind if it wasn't for Mao's stupid mind game. Amu decided to figure out what Mao was trying to get at, using Suzaku of all people to try an unravel her nerves. What would be the answer Mao wanted to hear and what would be the one to ruin his plans?

"I'd even kill Suzaku." Amu decided to say, "If it's in the process of destroying the Britannian empire, I'd definitely kill Suzaku."

"How dark, Amu-chan." Mao said as he began clapping his hands randomly, like always. Amu scolded herself for miscalculating what she had just said. If she had said she wouldn't have killed Suzaku, surely Mao would've gone into either talking about all the people she had killed or about her liking Suzaku more than Ikuto.

'There has to be a reason why Mao is bringing up the past like that.' Amu thought, moving on to her next attack, 'He's the type of guy who only lives for the present and doesn't like to think of the past or the future.'

"What bad timing." C.C. cursed loudly. Amu didn't understand what C.C. meant when she said that, but had no time to process it. A branch abruptly snapped on Amu's right, instantly making her jump and point the gun at the suspect instinctively.

"NYAH! What do you think you're doing pointing that thing at us!" one of the suspects yelled as he made himself visible in the moonlight.

"Yoru!" All of Amu's chara shouted once Yoru was completely visible. Amu felt her heart stop, since where there was Yoru, Ikuto was surely to be right behind. Amu instantly dropped her gun and backed away from the shadow that had yet to appear.

~コードしゅごギアスキャラ:あむれちあのリヴァイヴァル~

Lelouch hesitated before pushing the play button on his phone. The message on the screen instantly changed from "One Voice Message" to "Voice Message Playback " as Mao's voice came booming from his headset.

"It's me, C.C... Wait a bit while I get my little sister on her too."

"Mao!" C.C. yelled but was instantly replaced with another's voice.

"What happened? Is everything alright there?" Amu demanded.

"Amu... lettia..." C.C. muttered quietly.

"Onee-chan!" Amu yelled though the phone, "Daijoubu desu ka?"

"My, my. You're still worried about C.C.? I thought you of all people would realize that she's immortal."

"Oi! Amulettia! Can't you hear me?" C.C. yelled, but received no reply back.

"You shouldn't stress yourself about that tiny detail." Mao stated, "It's easy to transfer a number from one phone to another. If you have the right connections that is."

"Mao, you muted me didn't you? Oi, Amu!"

"What do you want?" Amu growled quietly.

"Tsk. Tsk. As impatient as ever, I see." Mao commented, "All I want is to have some tea with you."

"Stop joking around!" Amu yelled at him, "What happened to C.C.?"

"Are you sure that you should say C.C.'s name so casually around your fiancé?" Mao said, "And your friend might become even more suspicious of you."

"Shiranaimasen!" Amu shouted.

"It's because you've got a geass canceller around you at the moment." Mao commented, "Imagine if it was your darling fiancé."

"Urusai!" Amu shouted. There was a moment of silence and even Lelouch was able to understand what Amulettia had thought at that exact moment.

"Omedetou!" Mao sang out, "It took you less than one minute to realize I'm in the amusement park 317 meters away from your exact position. And you only went on that tiny comment I made about tea! Your mind is as complex as your brother's."

The next moment of silence was enough to make Lelouch raise to his feet, grabbing his suitcase which contained everything he needed for the Black Knight's next mission and rushed out of the house, listening to the rest of their conversation.

"Saa, I'm exactly five hundred meters away from Lelouch."

Lelouch heard the click of Amulettia's cell even as he lightly jogged over through the school courtyard, thinking of a plan as he ran.

"I'll be waiting at Clovis Land. Come alone, okay, C.C." Mao said in a gentler voice.

"Your just as selfish as ever, I see."

"If you don't come, I just have to reveal Lelouch's identity, don't I? I can have him eliminated at any time."

At that moment, the message ended, the next part he had already seen and heard from himself.

"Be happy, Lelouch. This is where you and I say goodbye." C.C. had said to him, a fake smile painted on her face.

"Geez, they just come and go as they please..." Lelouch grunted as he pulled over a random car, not caring who the driver was. Before the driver could even question Lelouch, he had already used his geass to manipulate the man's mind.

"I swear they're two halves of the same person." Lelouch muttered to himself as he climbed into the car, the driver already speeding towards Tokyo tower before he even had time to shut the door.

~コードしゅごギアスキャラ:あむれちあのリヴァイヴァル~

'So that was Mao's plan.' Amu thought as her entire body began to shake, 'I never wanted Ikuto to know about what I did while I thought he was dead. I never wanted to revisit those thoughts, never.'

"What's wrong, Amu-chan?" Mao said, "Cat got your tongue."

'I absolutely will not show Ikuto this side of me.' Amu concluded, 'That person that Mao told Ikuto about isn't me. That was never me.'

"I believe you, Amu." Ikuto's voice sang though her head. Shocked, Amu lifted up her head and noticed that Ikuto stood in the moonlight like he usually would, his hands in his pants pockets and stood slouched to one side, his eyebrows almost knitting together. Despite their current situation, Amu could help but smile at how normal it felt to have Ikuto look at her like that.

"Amu, look behind-!" C.C. yelled, but was cut off by the sudden gun shot. Amu spun back around to where Mao was standing, only to see C.C. on her knees, gripping her new flesh wound as her blood quickly began to spread through her jacket.

"There was just no way you could've shot me, C.C!" Mao sang as he continued to point the gun directly at C.C.

"You love me, after all, C.C!" Mao said.

"No! I was just using you!" C.C. yelled at him.

"What are you saying? You shouldn't lie, you know." Mao said, shooting C.C. in the chest. C.C. gasped in pain as she fell flat on the ground with Mao circling around her.

"Oi! What are you doing, Mao!" Amu said instantly picking up her own gun, crouched down on her knees, steadily pointing her hand gun towards Mao.

"Ehh, even though your fiancé's here?" Mao said, no fear in his voice at all, "You're still willing to kill me right here and now?"

"Just shut up!" Amu shouted, pulling the trigger. The bang rang in her ears as time seemed to slow down. She saw the gold bullet rushing towards Mao as his eyes grew larger as the distance became shorter.

"No!" Amu barely heard C.C. shout as she instantly stood up between Mao and the bullet. She wasn't even on her two feet when the bullet broke through her skull. The impact made C.C. fall backwards, landing on Mao's feet, blood already spreading all over the ground.

"Amu-chan..." Mao said, his eyes filled with sudden sadness, "You actually tried to kill me."

"I wonder what you think I was doing then." Amu said as she got back on her feet and slowly approached Mao.

"This wasn't how I taught you to act, Amulettia!" Mao said, firing his gun at random, all the shots missing Amu.

"I wonder what you actually taught me then, Onii-san." Amu said, "That once you're rejected, you shouldn't give up? If the person you love truly hates your guts, you should cut them up into tiny little pieces and ship them off to Australia."

"Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!" Mao shouted, firing his gun one last time. Amu was caught off guard by the angle Mao shot the bullet to the extent of miscalculating it's trajectory and shooting her right in the chest.

Amu gasped as she instantly fell face first onto the ground, the sickening feeling of her own blood forming into a puddle around her body.

"Amu!" Amu heard Ikuto yell as she felt his hands wrap around her body and forced her to stare at him. Amu's mind felt disoriented as she kept slipping in and out of consciousness.

"There's only one distinct difference between you and C.C., Amulettia." Mao laughed, "C.C.'s immortal, and your not."

'So... I'm dying?' Amu thought as she closed her eyes, 'That's impossible... I should be in Clone 1's body by now... She just forgot to sleep today... That's why I'm so tired.'

"For crying out loud!" C.C. shouted, "Tsukiyomi! The only way you can save Amu now is if you get fifty feet away from her!"

'C.C. made a contract with Ikuto?' Amu thought, but quickly became tired to even understand what was going on around her.

"Amu had the ability to create clones, you see!" C.C. shouted, ignoring Mao, "Every time that Amulettia is killed, her soul is instantly transported to the next clone! But the only way she can do that is if you get away from her!"

"What are you saying, C.C..." Amu laughed, not even sure if she was just imagining herself speaking, "I thought you told me not to tell anyone about my geass..."

"So only now your listening to me, Amu?" C.C. shouted, "Forget about what I said then! Listen to what I'm saying now! Tsukiyomi, you need to leave her now."

"Is it true, Amu..." Ikuto muttered quietly. Even in her weakened state, Amu noticed how worried Ikuto was about her well being, his grip a little too tight around her. She wanted to tell him not to worry about her and to only worry about what he wanted to do, but even to say his name seemed to use too much energy.

"Hai." Amu mouthed. In that same instant, Ikuto laid her back on the ground and instantly retreated. This Amu knew because she was suddenly out of the amusement park and in some forested area, the location where she told Clone 1 to camp out.

Amu looked towards the light of Clovisland, even from her position was quite bright. She quickly thought of Ikuto, how he must be fifty meters away from her old body, but a kilometre away from her current position, if his power reached one hundred meters all round.

'A total diameter of one hundred meters, huh?' Amu thought as she felt as though a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders. Amu laughed to herself, still denying the fact that Ikuto was really a geass canceller, the only thing that could truly kill her.

Amu laughed again as she unconsciously began running towards Clovisland, counting the number of steps it took before she felt powerless again, looking for the only man who could kill her, the only man whom she truly loved.

~コードしゅごギアスキャラ:あむれちあのリヴァイヴァル~

"Ohh, very sparkly. Kira kira desu~" Mao said as Amu's original body burst into an indefinite amount of tiny diamond shards which slowly dissolved into the air.

"It's too bad that Amu-chan hasn't seen what happens after she dies..." Mao pouted, "She would have loved to see the full effect. Ne, C.C.?"

The pain had already disappeared from C.C.'s body, the wounds already starting to heal themselves, automatically removing the bullets from her body. But she didn't want Mao to know this, so continued to remain limp, holding her pained expression as best as she could.

"So, why did C.C. save me just now?" Mao asked, "The only reason could be that C.C. truly loves me still."

"There's no way..." C.C. said, "I only saved you because it would be inconvenient for Amulettia later on."

"I thought that I told you that lying is very bad, C.C." Mao said, shooting his gun over and over again, reopening C.C.'s old wounds and creating new ones where her major joints were located.

C.C. screamed in pain for every bullet that pierced her skin until the pain was too extreme that she couldn't even raise her head to face Mao.

"C.C. I've built a house in Australia." Mao began to say, "A clean, white, very quiet little house.

"But we'll need to take an airplane to get to Australia. And you're a little bit too big for me to bring on the plane, C.C..." Mao muttered as he began to walk away from C.C.'s body. C.C. struggled to keep her eyes on Mao as he stopped behind the small set of stairs and pulled out a large chainsaw from behind. She cringed as Mao powered up the chainsaw and his face filled up with absolute bliss.

"So.. I'll make you nice and compact! It'll take no time at all with this!" Mao said, swinging the chainsaw around, cutting whatever it hit into tiny pieces.

"Is this... vengeance on me?" C.C. muttered.

"Oh no. No, no, no, no, no!" Mao repeated over and over again. "This is me expressing my gratitude to you!"

"So this is where you are." Lelouch's voice suddenly came booming out of the speakers. Mao growled instantly as the small theater screen on the side wall next to Mao turned on, a fuzzy video of Tokyo tower coming into view.

"Someplace where the voices of others wouldn't bother you." Lelouch said as his face appeared on the screen as well.

"Lelouch." Mao growled in anger. C.C. lifted her eyes to look at Lelouch, noticing that his face held no emotion as he spoke and remained the same when he remained silent.

"The maximum range of your Geass is five hundred meters. It won't reach me here at Tokyo Tower." Lelouch said.

"After all that effort you spent hacking this system, do you plan to attack me with remote-controlled toys?" Mao asked, "Or will you use that skillful mouth of yours to talk me into a defeat?"

"What? Cat got your tongue, too?" Mao laughed, "Amulettia's already gone, but if you want C.C., then why don't-"

"Mao!" Lelouch suddenly spoke up, "Surely you don't think that C.C. is her real name, do you? I know it though. Her real name..."

Mao's face dropped as he turned to C.C., looking at her as if he hadn't seen her in his entire life.

"Is that true, C.C.?" Mao asked, "Even though you never told it to me, why did you tell someone like him?"

"You know why, don't you?" Lelouch said, "Because C.C. belongs to me."

C.C. was shocked by Lelouch's sudden proclamation, even ignoring her that she couldn't even move because of the pain. She pushed herself up with her elbows to get a better look at Lelouch on the small video screen, trying to distinguish any emotion from his face. The only emotion she could find was Lelouch's pride as a man raising higher than she'd even seen. She sighed at his idiotic behaviour and wondered how much it cost him to actually say those words out loud.

"C.C. belongs to me, Mao." Lelouch smirked.

"She doesn't! She doesn't! She doesn't, SHE DOESN'T!" Mao yelled repeatedly, "She was all mine LONG before she ever met you!"

"I have gained everything of her." Lelouch said. "Including all the parts you have never seen. Everything."

"Lelouch!" Mao snapped, coming full speed at the screen with his chainsaw. He started slashing the screen to bits, yelling things at Lelouch like for to come and face him man to man and for him to stop lying to him.

"Mao... You've lost." Lelouch said before the power cut off and the screen was fully destroyed.

"What are you saying?" Mao yelled at the pile of rubble, "Never mind! I'm taking C.C. and..."

Mao cut himself off as he suddenly started hearing many voices approaching him. C.C. didn't understand why Mao had stopped talking all of a sudden and began to squirm herself.

"Hold it right there!" a man yelled as a police Knightmare and a small army squad came rushing in front of C.C.

"Attention kidnapper! Drop your weapon and surrender!" another man called out towards Mao, as a helicopter spotlight hit encircled Mao.

"The police?" Mao said, "But who tipped them off?"

C.C. was about to say the exact same thing, but remained quiet as one of the police officers came over to her and picked her up, cradling her like she was a baby or a small child. C.C. looked up at the man's face and gasped at her own stupidity.

"Lelouch." C.C. said, "What are you doing here?"

"It can't be! He was just at the Tower, wasn't he?" Mao shouted.

C.C. noticed Lelouch turn to face Mao with a smirk on his face. If only Amulettia was there right now, she could indirectly listen to Lelouch's thoughts through Miki. That is, if it wasn't cancelled out by Mao's geass.

"That's not true! You were talking to me!" Mao yelled again into the silence.

'Where is Amulettia anyways...' C.C. thought, currently ignoring Lelouch's mind game on Mao. Knowing Amu, she would've come running back here by now, even arrive before Lelouch. Did she really die because of Ikuto? How ironic, seeing that he was the only person whom she wanted to live for too.

"You were able to predict all my answers? Don't play games with me, you little punk!" Mao yelled, "If I'm getting thrown in jail, I'll get out as soon as I get in!"

C.C. instantly felt bad, seeing that Mao couldn't turn off his geass and all the police officers in the vicinity must think he's crazy.

"You used the monitor to keep me distracted?" Mao muttered, "Even so, there's still one thing I can do to make sure you lose!"

Lelouch scoffed and began walking away. From Mao's parting words to Lelouch, she already knew what he was about to say, and there was many eye witnesses to see what Mao has to say.

"Lelouch, wait! If I talk to him..." C.C. began to say, but Mao's overpowering voice suppressed her own.

"Like hell I'll die!" Mao yelled, "Listen up, cops! That guy over there is the terrorist..."

"Fire!" the commanding officer yelled before Mao could finish what he was say. Lelouch instantly turned his back to Mao and hovered his head over C.C.'s so she couldn't see Mao's death.

"Mao!" C.C. gasped, since she was still able to hear perfectly well, even though she couldn't see what had happened. Even Lelouch could tell that C.C. didn't want Mao to die, though she had abandoned him long ago.

"Let's go..." C.C. said a very soft voice. Lelouch didn't need to bee told twice as he hurried over to the helicopter which was going to pick them up.
