Edit A/N: Alright, considering the reviews and the fact his is only the first chapter, I've decided to change Alexander's Geass from psychokinesis to pyrokinesis.

It wasn't that Alexander's Geass was a copy of Lelouch's, but I realized that it would eventually just get too overpowered in the long run. Also I can do more plot-wise with pyrokinesis than psychokinesis.

Arakater: Yeah...I wasn't too sure what I was going to do for names so I kind of just winged it. Didn't work out to well huh?

The sun cast an unnatural red glow, basking the entire highway in blood-red sunlight. A single boy stood surrounded by bodies. Their facs are scarred by metal and debris. Flames crackle around them.

The boy looked around, "Mom?" He called, expecting an answer, "Sumiko?" He called, "Ogihara? Anyone?!" The boy began to cry

""Alekkssss…." Sinister voices began to whisper slowly, getting louder. Some of the bodies slowly began to stand,

"Alekkkssss!" The voices became louder.

"Stay away from me!" The boy named Alex began to stumble backwards until the almost slipped of the cliff behind him.

"Alex! Alex!" Their moans became a chant of hunger as they continued to surround him, getting closer, groping at his clothes.

"ALEX!"

"-ALEX! Damn it! Get up Shinku! Or Alex! Whatever you prefer!" A girl conked him in the head,

"I'm up!" He jolted to a start, "And don't call me by my Japanese name Alexa. Remember what Ojīchan said."

"Why are you so obsessed with the old geezer?"

"You know. It's that same attitude that screwed us over back in Sapporo."

"The officer was being a prick." Alexa huffed,

"Most Brittanian officers are 'pricks', doesn't mean you sock them in the balls."

"Hmph, look at the pot calling the kettle black. After all, I'm the one taking you to this illegal chess game."

"There's a difference between white-collar crime and assaulting a police officer. You're seriously lucky you weren't caught on camera or something."

"That's not what Ogihara would say~" Alexa said in a sing-song voice.

Alex said nothing, but looked off to the side. "We're there." He pointed to a turn-off from the main high-way.

"Alright. And you know I want a cut right?"

"Keep mouthing off and you won't get it."

"I'm the underage driver here! I deserve something for-"

"Fifteen Percent."

"What?! You can't-"

"Ten percent then."

"Alright you win!" She grumbled,

"I thought so. Now keep your mouth shut, or I'll make it five."

Alex entered the casino. Quickly making his way to where a threatening Britannian man was sitting.

"This is the infamous Crimson? A mere high-school student?" The nobleman scoffed, "What a joke,"

"You haven't even touched the chessboard yet." Alex sighed, "I must ask you to refrain from such comments until after someone has lost." 'And it won't be me.' Alex added in his head.

"Impudent brat. Very well!" He rolled up his sleeves, "Let us commence!"

"And that is a checkmate." Alex grandly planted his black rook down next to the white king.

"What the- Why you!" The nobleman sputtered,

"You were so focused on capturing my Queen, that you focused all your attention on it." Alex shrugged, "A good chess player wouldn't fall for something so elementary. But I guess classic is best."

"Damn you!" He spat, pulling out a wad of $1,500 dollars and tossed it at Alex, who deftly swiped it out of the air with uncanny reflexes.

"I suppose I better get going." Alex yawned and tucked the money in his breast pocket. He left the Britannian still stammering and whining about his defeat.

"As promised, 20% cut for your 'troubles'" Alex handed Alexa the money.

"Hmph." She swiped the money and pocketed it. Alex hopped in the passenger seat of car.

"(Damn it! Thanks to those incompetent wannabe resistance fighters the Britannians are going to smoke our ass for sure!)" A boy complained,

"(Pretty sure you're not a Marine either!)" The girl who was driving shot back

"(Don't act high-and-mighty because your brother is Captain Haito, Navina! Don't forget who's the half-breed!)"

"(I can push you right out that door and leave you for the Britannians Yokoso!)" Yokoso shut up at that,

"Halt and get out of the vehicle immediately and put your hands in the air! This is your last warning Elevens!" A Britannian officer yelled over a loudspeaker, followed by a shower of gunfire.

"(We're not Elevens you filthy Brits! We're Japanese!)" Yokoso leaned out the window and gave the Gunship the middle finger.

In response the Gunship opened fire, lacing the roof of the truck with bullets.

"(You just had to dig this hole deeper didn't you?!)" Navina looked towards him

"(Navina look out!)" Yokoso shouted, Navina barely swerved into a side road, and into a closed shopping center. The last thing she remembered was thinking:

'This is it. I'm sorry...brother.'

"Woah what the hell?!" Alexa swerved around and barely stopped the car as the truck behind them crashed into the center, "Drunk driver much?!"

"No. Didn't you hear the Gunship? They're probably Resistance fighters."

"Then we should- H-hey!" Alexa shouted as Alex got out of the car and ran for the truck, he climbed the railing,

"Hey! Anyone in there? You guys okay?!"

The pilot hovered over the scene, "Suspect has crashed into the former shopping center near the Settlement Harbor. Currently not engaged."

"Good work. Keep hovering and keep them in sight!"

"Yes, my lord."

'(I'm...alive?)' That was Navina's first thought, the second was:

'(Shit! I need to get out of here!)' She quickly hit the reverse and backed up, hearing a thud in the back,

"Yokoso. Oi Yokoso!" Navina shook him, and he groaned

"(We are still alive?)"

"(Yeah. And in the same pile of shit.)"

"(I'll drive, I think I heard something in the back,)" He said as he took over, "(You go check on the cargo.)"

"(Right.)"

'Ow.' Alex clutched his head as he stood,

"Hello?" A voice came from the front,

'Crap! Must be one of the terrorists!' Alex quickly hid behind some boxes.

"Huh." The girl's blond hair was tied in a raggedy ponytail. Taking one last look around she headed back for the front.

'Too close.' He sighed, relieved he wasn't caught. He looked around, and his eyes fell on a weird kind of capsule.

'What the…?' He walked up to it, but then his eyes fell on another object, a radio.

'This must be tuned to the channel of these terrorists.' He analyzed. He pocketed it.

'Where are we going anyway?' He turned up the volume,

"(Yokoso! Navina! What's going on?! Report!)" A man yelled in Japanese,

'Those must be the names of the drivers, so there's two of them.'

"(Sorry Captain Haito. We ended up crashing to avoid hitting another driver.)"

"(Is the cargo safe?)"

"(Navina just checked on it. The poison gas is untouched. But our truck looks like crap.)"

"(Good. Make your way to the Harbor where the Asahi is waiting.)"

'The Asahi sounds like a ship name. Meaning these must be remnants of the Japanese Navy.' Alex had heard of roaming groups of left-over JN ships as well as Marines turning to terrorism or piracy following Japan's defeat in 2010. These must be one of said groups.

"(Wilco)" Navina said over the radio.

Alex's thoughts turned to what he'd just heard, 'If they have poison gas then I can't be caught in this.' He began to panic, suddenly the truck made a sharp turn and he felt them go down, 'Too late.'

"Suspect has entered underground subway lines."

"As expected. Is the trap ready?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Good." Over the radio, a click could be heard.

KA-BOOM!

"What the hell-?!" Navina barely stopped the truck as the entire section in front of them collapsed, "Shit! They expected this all along?!" Navina swore

"Navina! Take your Glasgow!" Yokoso yelled.

"Right!" She headed towards the trailer, looking around, she headed for a Glasgow Class Knightmare Frame in a fetal position and entered the cockpit.

"I'll show you Britannian filth!" She snarled as the Glasgow booted on, standing up she left through the open upper door and out the tunnel.

Alex breathed in relief as the Glasgow left, approaching the capsule, he placed a hand on it.

Ssshhhhh. With a hiss it opened and Alex instantly pressed flat to the ground to shield himself from the poison. But instead, it revealed a girl with silver hair who fell out. Her body and face were bound with a straight-jacket.

'A girl? Perhaps she's a carrier for some kind of bio-weapon.' Alex leaned over her, "Hey can you walk? The Britannians will be here at any second now."

She nodded, and Alex helped her up and out of the truck. He looked around, and his eyes fell on a stairwell, 'I have the devil's luck.' He helped her walk up the stairwell and:

"All right! Fan out and search the area for the girl!"

'Girl? Are they talking about her?' He looked at the silver haired girl. Suddenly, his phone began to ring.

'What the?! Not now!' He quickly pressed the decline option.

"Hey! That baka declined my call?! What the hell is he doing?!" Alexa raged, "I really don't want to be the one to tell old man Ogihara about this…"

But it was too late, within seconds he and the girl were surrounded by Britannian Royal Guard,

"My Lord! We've received confirmation from Captain Aotweld that he has located C.C." One soldier got off his radio

"Good, inform him that we've captured A.A"

'A-Two? That's her name?' Alex wondered, suddenly, A-Two broke back down the stairs, only to be shot in the back of the head.

"S-sir! A.A is a valuable prisoner-"

"We only need one." The officer shrugged, "As for you," Alex began to back down the stairs, 'Damn! I can't die here! Not until I've made that bastard pay! Why?! Why am I so weak?!'

Suddenly he felt a hand grip his ankle and everything faded into black.

"You wish for power?"

'What the? Who are you?!'

"I am A.A. I'll ask you again, do you wish for power?"

'What kind of power?! And you were shot in the back of the head?! How are you not dead?!"

"Answer my question first."

'Fine! I'll do it! I'll take your power!'

"You must agree to the contract."

'What are the terms?'

"..."

'How am I supposed to agree if I don't know the terms?!'

"I will grant you the power of Geass. Also known as the Power of the King. Your Geass will be to summon and manipulate flames from your own body and the surrounding heat"

'Power such as that can be a curse!'

"It will be a curse only if you make it one."

Alex paused to consider this 'Very well. I will accept your contract' "Even though I have no idea what it may entail." He thought,

"It comes at no personal detriment to you."

'You read my mind?'

"Only for now. In this realm. Which you are leaving as we speak." As soon as she said that, everything faded once again, and Alex returned to reality.

"Geass huh?" He raised his hands, reaching out, he looked down at the flames dancing and licking along his fingertips, surprisingly, they didn't burn him, they just felt...warm. Almost pleasant in fact.

"A fancy little lightshow isn't going to save you know kid!" One of the Britannians jeered as he raised his gun,

"All of you...should just die."
