Author's Note: Sorry for my most "late" update. I've been busy with my athletic schedule. Playing pingpong 4 hours straight and traveling 2 hrs (to and from the training area) tires me a lot and I can't think very well.
Note: When Euphie went missing of course Suzaku was "missing" too and he was only able to visit Euphie.
Slash Harken: the claw-like ropey thingy in a knightmare
Warch out for:
Gundam Seed
Texas(Ashford) Chainsaw Massacre
Thx for the positive reviews, I thought you wanted Euphie to die and I kinda spoiled it for you but you found that part funny…
All of this is necessary for the climax or whatever it is.
Lyold's truck crashed its way through the Ashford Academy's gate, hitting Mao sending him flying through the air.
"BAKA! You didn't open the gate!" Tamaki shouted at his squad through the radio.
They answered in unison. "Sorry sir!"
As soon as he arrived Suzaku got in the Lancelot and scanned the area: the school was already garrisoned: both civilians and students were requested to stay inside the dorms. So far so good he thought. He immediately called Milly:
"Milly, it's me Suzaku, where are you now?"
"Suzaku!? We're here at the council room…I'm glad you're safe... why the hell did you two-wait the Black Knights-"
"I'm now a Black Knight Milly, do what we say. I promise no one in this school will be hurt."
"S-Suzaku…"
"Milly…please take care of Euphie, he's in Llyod-san's truck right now. She just gave birth-it's a boy!" He talked so fast and hung the phone.
"Suzaku wait!" Euphie's…pregnant and just gave birth! So that's the reason they eloped?
Moments ago:
"Euphie, I must go for now. I'll fight, I'll protect the future!"
Euphie was regaining color on her cheeks, and recovering as the little boy is sucking milk from her bosom. "Suzaku, please be safe…come back. Come back to me…" she spoke with a sweet gentle voice.
And she took out a ring from her pocket and placed it on his hands with a smile. "I was supposed to give it to you during the ceremony, but I forgot."
He nodded "It's okay...I will…" He kissed her cheek. He was about to kiss the little boy when Euphie slapped him.
"Don't!" She cutely hissed.
"Euphie…oops! Germs I see...sorry." He just sent a flying kiss. "Goodbye Syaoran."
And numerous Knightmares and Gloucesters decended from the flying Avalon, with just a dozen burai and a single Lancelot, without a decent commander like Zero, they would both attempt to protect themselves and the civilians around.
It is called suicide.
Sayoko's nails were now half as long as before with all her biting. She looked at every room, corner, and cabinet and beneath beds but found no trace of the babies. They even couldn't possible climb out their crib.
It was now 7pm and, 4 hours since Lelouch left. She was grateful that he sent Black Knights to protect the school but what was it for if the children are gone?
Nunally was eating dinner, asking Sayoko if his brother and his family will just have to eat somewhere else. She thought that while she was taking her nap, they might have gone off somewhere. Worried that they might be caught in the war, as the Black Knights in the academy announced and Sayoko explained, she silently prayed that they return soon…
Sayoko heard footsteps coming closer to the dining room. The steps were cautious and suspicious; she drew a pistol from her pocket.
And she heard a sound of a chainsaw…
"Mao!?" she gasped seeing a bloody lad in front of her, standing at the door with bloodshot eyes.
Kallen was separated from Zero and from the rest of the squad. Her transmitter wasn't working and she was lost in the battlefield, awaiting orders fom Zero. What to do?What to do? she thought.
But seeing Avalon nearing Ashford Academy, she headed straight there; they might attack the Black Knights near there and take over the school. She must protect both the students from the Black Knights or them from the Britannians.
But when she heard missiles firing and bullets piercing walls she realized that she might be a little late; Prince Schneizel is harsher than he looks and maybe willing to sacrifice civilians to retrieve the Lancelot or just to kill some Knights.
"Suzaku, hang on!"
But what if she arrived too late?

"Britannia, I demand you surrender to us now!" The command resonated on the Tokyo's flaming center.
The Hadron cannon devastated the the aerial forces, lighting up the night sky.
Elevens and Honorary Britannians defected and several other resistance groups emerge, contacting the Black Knights and offering their support.
With a push of a button, Cornelia's strategies were destroyed by the purging of the surrounding structures; the buildings, bridges and ports were wrecked by Zero's masterful plan.
Little by little, Cornelia's army began falling disarray, barely surviving until the other reinforcement arrived. The Glaston Knights however, remained strong with Guilford and General Dalton's leadership.
Turning of the communications he asked again "So CC what's your answer?"
"I-"
A sudden sound distracted them. It was a slash harken aimed at the Gawain that CC managed to dodge, making a nearby pillar receive the blow.
"ZEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" said a woman's fiery voice in a Gloucester.
"Cornelia!?" exclaimed Lelouch.
The unit encircled them with its agile movements, shooting the superior unit with its rifle. Though CC was an accomplished pilot, she still wasn't able to prevent Cornelia's bullets to score hits on Gawain.
Little damage was caused, and the cockpit remained safe.
But Aurora started crying with all the motion while Eirian seemed to enjoy it, laughing as his parents desperately tried to conceal their fear of the danger the children were facing.
"ZERO YOU'RE MINE!" Cornelia shouted at him as she charged at the Gawain with her jousting lance.
"CC, evade!" Lelouch commanded.
Cornelia was so fast that the lance hit Gawain's left arm. With a screeching noise, it ripped a considerable amount of metal and made it lose its balance. The Gawain quickly recovered and attempted to fly, but the Gloucester perfectly timed its slash harken to pull the Gawain back to the ground.
Gawain in not made for close combat! DAMMIT!!
"ZERO THIS IS ALL YOU HAVE?! BRING IT ON!" she blatantly challenged them.
Cornelia pointed the lance at the cockpit which is nearing her very fast… Coming closer and closer to be impaled, CC successfully countered the inertia with four of the Gawain's slash harkens and managed to flip the Gawain sideward and break free from Cornelia's hold and was able to distance away from her.
If we fly we'll just be pulled back again…and there's no building to use for purging. "CC, give me Aurora!" CC immediately handed her to him as his other hand was carrying Eirian. He buckled the two at his lap and so CC could pilot more freely. He should be nearing now, my pawn…
But Cornelia was obviously aggressive, charging at them again.
"I AM KNIGHTMARE!! Even in a Gundam you can't beat me, ZERO!!"
CC fired half of the Gawain's slash harkens only to be dodged by Cornelia while two or three was cut.
But for Zero it bought enough time.
A voice caught their attention: "YOU'RE HIGHNESS!!"
Guilford? He disobeyed orders?
Guliford threw his lance but the arm malfunctioned…diverting the attack to Cornelia's frame.
"GUILFORD!? Why…"were her last words before her Gloucester fell as it was impaled in the middle.
The damage from fighting with the traitor…cost my Highness life? The knight called out for his lady but received no reply. He raced to her location but with a spark, his engine exploded decimating the Knightmare into scraps.
"When did you Geass Guilford?" CC wondered when he did it as the scene unfolded before them.
"I didn't Geass him…I used it on a Glaston Knight…which was probably killed by him…"
"Poor Knight…."
Cornelia crawled out of the rubble seriously injured; lying on the cold cement as her blood flowed warming it. She was betrayed by her most trusted person and defeated by her worst enemy. What face will she show when she meet Clovis, Nunally and Lelouch in the afterlife?
"I guess it's time to greet to her..." Lelouch got out with Eirian in his hands.
Sayoko pointed the gun at Mao, who stood there silent with bloodshot eyes. "Mao, did you regain your memory!?" she harshly asked him.
"Mao…" the word barely came out from Nunally's lips, afraid of the possibility of danger.
As the maid, released the gun's safety Mao finally spoke "He's near…somebody who wants to kidnap Nunally…"
"Kidnap Nunally? What are you talking about-"
Sayoko was frozen as Mao raised the chainsaw quickly in the air crashing it down…splattering blood all over the table and Nunally.
My eyes…Mao regained his geass? Or his memories perhaps? This is bad! No its not Mao…it's…
"Lelouch! Your sister is…
"Lady Nunally…" Sayoko pictured the girl in the blackness of her sight; she was covered all bloody as she was slowly falling cold on the floor when a sudden scream pierced her ears.
"UUURGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
Sayoko saw a young boy with long blond hair beside Nunally, crying in pain as red liquid squirts from his side.
"M-My arm…how did your Geass…"the boy hissed at Mao.
"Geass? I don't know what that means but all I know is that I can hear what you are thinking 'killing the maid after kidnapping the girl' my ass… I DON'T LIKE IT VV!"
Mao slashed him again but him able to dodge it a little with his teleportation ability.
"Too slow!" Mao teased him maniacally as the chainsaw found its way again to the boy severing his leg.
Sayoko was so panicked not believing what she was seeing, she sat there shocked and was unable to move a muscle while Nunally was screaming with every drop of blood that fell on her.
"O-Ouch…" the boy was teary. If his a geass user, how was he able to read my mind? He can't use it on a contractor? How? Maybe his geass evolved…something me or CC still haven't encountered. But you still can't beat me!
As he touched the wheelchair, a light blinded the maid and the stable boy.
Lelouch walked unmasked towards Cornelia.
"I see…so you're the true face of Zero. The hatred you have for Britannia…you're doing this for Nunally?"
"Yes that's right…I want to destroy this current world and build a better one-"
"You're killing for that pitiful excuse! Clovis…"
"Sister too."
She laughed sarcastically "It seems that it's useless to continue this conversation, with a guy with a doll in his hands."
Lelouch chuckled as he looked at the mini Zero in his arms "This? This is not a doll...he's my son Eirianell,too bad I can't show you his face. My daughter stayed in the cockpit…"
Cornelia was speechless as the boy boastfully told her that he's a father at that age.
"Her name is Aurora, there weren't enough masks and she was crying…I wish to show her to you too."
She began laughing widely "Lelouch, a son!? Don't joke around!"
"Say high to Auntie, Eirian" he told the little boy. And the little Zero waved his hands to Cornelia.
Cornelia gulped "To think that you who's ten years younger than me-"
"We're getting out of topic here I noticed, happy to be reunited again are we?"
She glared at him.
"Answer this question from Lelouch Vi Britannia!"
The geass activated and swayed Cornelia under its control. Questions after questions, no answer satisfied Lelouch; he wasn't able to learn about his mother's killer other than her remains were moved by his brother Schneizel.
He was both guilty and frustrated, wronging an innocent sister who was also desperate for the truth. It was when CC's voice called out to him:
"Lelouch! Your sister was kidnapped!"
"I have no time for your jokes! Right now I'll use Cornelia as a hostage-"
"My eye hurt..." she said to herself before speaking again to min "I hate jokes! They're heading for Kaminejima Island!"
Kaminejima? Darn it!
As Lelouch ran towards the Gawain, an earthquake shook his legs.
"ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!!" said a voice from the ground; a gigantic orange-looking robot with green spikes came out of it. "Humilition! Frustration! ZEROOOOOOO!!"
He quickly covered his face with his turtle neck and flung his cape to protect Eirian from the debris.
Orange-kun?
"Lelouch hurry!!" CC used the Gawain's arm to reach for him.
He entered the cockpit in no time, buckling the twins again. The twins begun wailing loudly, scared of the voice.
"Papa! Papa!"cried Aurora.
Lelouch lost his cool thinking about Nunally and their current situation. He silenced the two "Please be quiet…"
His eye glowed.
"Right now, I really want you two to stay out of this mess!"
The Siegfried spun like a top, destroying the nearby surrounding, barely missing Cornelia and released its spikes to the Gawain.
CC shouted "Lelouch that was a bit harsh-he's coming!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" squealed Lelouch as the Gawain dodged the harken.
"Why Lelouch? Are you hurt!?" CC worriedly cried at him.
His voice was shaking and sounded like he was about to cry "No…my geass, it activated permanently…Aurora and Eirian disappeared…"
No way...
I hope you liked so far the last chapters. I think some find it out of the original plot of the story expecting slices of parenting life but I decided that writing a climatic end will be fitting for those who request this story to be fitted in the Code Geass plot.
Mao geass now was to hear dangerous thought. He really didn't affect VV in the sense that he read his mind but he just heard the "thoughts" I hope you got it.
The line "come back to me" was from Gundam Seed.
Syoaran is the Suzaku look-alike in Tsubasa Chronicle (that I don't plan on watching)
Thanks for the continuous support!
