A/N: So I wanted to make my first Code Geass fanfiction. This is the story about Lelouch and Zophiel in their way towards creating the world they desire. A little bit of background first and then I will ho towards the story. I do not own Code Geass.

The never ending victories acquired by Napoleon Bonaparte against the Coalition led to the fall of the Russian Empire and The Britannian Empire. The noble families fled the British Isles to the new world, while the tsar family fled into the unknown east. And so the story begins when the last descendant of the Romanov family meets the Exiled Prince.

[August-2010]

Suzaku, Zophiel and Lelouch were playing around the Kururugi Shrine. One year after Lelouch met Zophiel and Suzaku.

"C'mon Lulu or else you shall remain the rotten egg.", teased Zophiel being chased by Lelouch who could barely hold up to them.

"Just stop for a second",said the tired kid while gasping for air "and I'll catch up with you."

"No way in hell."

Nunnaly watched at her brother and giggled as he collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.

"You...goddamn...exercise nut."

"Pfff...yeah sure Lulu. The only reason you are like this is because you keep avoiding the training with master Tohdoh. How many times? 14? 15?"

"I think it's over 20 by now.",answered Suzaku."Seriously Lelouch you really need to change that."

"When he'll beat me in chess.",answered the boy.

"And that will be never.",said Zophiel as she let out a sigh. As she sat down she stared at the surroundings. The beautiful visage of the shrine she spent her time, reminded her of the old stories passed down generation by generation.

"You seriously need to stop quitting practice Lelouch. Otherwise will remain a stick forever.",said Suzaku as he helped his friend get up. The prince only shot a dismissive grunt as he accepted the help.

Zophiel sat next to Nunnaly as she started to whisper to her.

"Your brother is really hardheaded today isn't he?"

"Yeah I think today is more than usual. Did anything happened for him to be like this?"

"Hmm…maybe it's Kaguya's fault here. I heard she tried to sneak in his room."

As the days went. The news struck hard. The news that Britannia attacked Japan. In the midst of chaos the 3 kids were separated from the family. The airplanes bombarded the coastal defenses preparing the landing of the Knightmare frames. The Japanese Army tried to stop the enemy army, however they were no match.

"Tohdoh, we are under heavy enemy fire. Requesting immediate assistance.", a desperate voice was heard through the speaker. The colonel narrowed his eyes as he gripped his katana. The situation was grim as the Britannian Army landed on the island, preparing for the main assault. Letting out a small sign Tohdoh rose up and yelled from the top of his lungs.

"Not one step back soldiers. The Prime Minister ordered an all-out war. THIS IS AN ORDER!",he finished. 'Genbu is this the day where our lives end?'.

"Yes Colonel!"

[With the Prime Minister]

"Father, you must cancel the order. This is pure suicide!", yelled the young Suzaku as he pleaded to his father. The adult ignored his kid and continued to stare in the empty.

"Suzaku. You are still a child and you don't understand. This is the only way for Japan's survival.",he replied in a cold dismissive tone.

"But father, if this keeps going millions of Japanese will die!"

[Itsukushima]

Tohdoh was pushing back the enemy army at heavy costs. The modern tanks were powerful but they were still not enough to defeat the knightmare fire barrage .

"Asahina what's the situation?"

"We manged to destroy the left flank but we took heavy blows. "

"Good. Urabe what's your situation?"

"Pretty good. We managed to destroy the tanks on the right flank."

"Sir,this is an emergency!", a new voice was heard though the speaker.

"What is it soldier? What happened?"

"The Prime Minister, sir...he...he"

"What?"

"WE found the Prime Minister dead ,sir….it l-l-l-looks like he committed suicide."

'I-impossible...Genbu would never commit such an act…especially after that order..'

Genbu's death led the Japansese Army astray, leaving Katase and the Four Holy Swords in a retreating battle. So the birth of the Japanese Liberation Front was born.

[After the fall]

The convoy that protected kids from the britannian bombardment got split up after a raid. This led to the moment when Lelouch,Suzaku and Nunnaly got separated from Zophiel.

On the ruined bridge Suzaku stood silent,hugging his knees, meditating at something.,...something that he had done. His thoughts were interrupted by some small steps that were coming to him.

"Suzaku..."

The other part of the convoy suffered heavy damage and the soldiers were gathering the wounded.

By some miracle the girl was uninjured and was leaning on a boulder, muttering a promise.

"Lelouch,Suzaku"

"I swear...that I shall destroy Britannia...",said the two kids made this vow, that the enemies that invaded the place they called home, shall be destroyed.
