Chapter 25 : Healing powers

4.15 pm

In the fortress clinic, a girl with short red hair and green eyes sat at a table and was consulting a large volume of medicine.

"Dr. Shirayuki?" A voice called.

She snorted and turned around, meeting her gaze with a girl with long cerulean hair, brown eyes, and a prosperous breast.

"What is it, Aki?"

"I feel out of place here."

"What would you say?"

"We should be at the front, treating wounded soldiers, not here to turn our thumbs."

"You are sick ... Do you know that we risk ending up killed? At least we're safe here!" Said a girl with long orange hair, red eyes who wore a lab coat open over a scarlet top that left her belly exposed and a short black skirt plus shoes of the same color.

"We are nurses, Kaname ... And here there are no patients to treat. Ergo, we have nothing to do. "

True ... On the one hand this makes me feel useless, on the other it makes me happy ... In short, I do not wish anyone to be injured or become ill.

Shirayuki thought.

Suddenly the door opened and Yaeko and Shiho appeared, carrying a severely injured Evergreen.

"Help us, soon!" Shiho begged her.

"Kaname, Aki, lay her on the operating table!" Ordered the redhead.

The two girls obeyed.

The doctor approached her patient, observed the wound in her belly and asked:

"What happened to her?"

"The empress pierced her with his sword."

"What? Why? "Kaname asked, incredulous.

"Let's say she brought her some unhappy news."

"It must have been scary news, even if it was skewered," commented Shirayuki.

"Indeed it is." Yaeko stated.

"Could I know what happened? Have the aliens identified our position? "

"Worse."

"Do you tell me or do I have to guess?"

"Lelouch is back."

At that statement both Shirayuki and his helpers widened their eyes.

"Did you say ... Lelouch?"

"Exact."

"Then there is no wonder that Cornelia reacted that way." Aki commented.

"It will make us slaves again!" Exclaimed Kaname, alarmed.

"It will not happen. Jeremiah owns the geass canceller, Lelouch will not condition us again. "Shiho reassured her.

"Sorry if I interrupt you but this poor woman risks bleeding to death!" Yaeko called her back.

"Moment ... Asia!" The redhead called.

From behind one of the beds came a girl with long golden hair and green eyes wearing a white shirt and red pants with a white stripe.

"Did you call me, Dr. Shirayuki?" He asked.

"There is a patient. Wound from cutting weapon, to the belly. "

"I'll take care of it right away."

That said he approached Evergreen and placed her hands on the wound. Suddenly a green light came out of them and after a few moments the wound had completely healed. Surprise, Ever sat up on the table.

"But how did he do it?" Shiho asked, surprised.

" Merit of her geass. It can heal any kind of wound in a short time. "The doctor explained.

"Extraordinary…"

"Of course."

So there are various types of geass.

Yaeko thought.

Grand Canyon, 8:30 am

The Grand Canyon was an immense gorge created by the Colorado River in northern Arizona. It was about 446 kilometers long, up to 1,857 meters deep and with a variable width from 500 meters to 29 kilometers. For the most part it was included in the Grand Canyon National Park, one of the first national parks in the Holy Empire of Britannia. What not everyone knew is that, in that arid valley, an underground city was hidden, once inhabited by the followers of the cult of the geass and which now housed Faye, Killua, Roy and Julia. The latter roamed the streets in a daze looking at the surrounding landscape. Despite living there for three weeks, she still could not believe that the place, like the arrival of the aliens, was real.

An underground city once managed by a hidden sect ... It seems the plot of some spy film! If they had told me I would have laughed!

The blonde thought, amazed.

"So this is where you got yourself ..." a voice told her.

She turned and saw Faye staring at her sternly.

"Sorry, I was taking a walk."

"I was afraid I was on the surface."

"I'm not stupid. If any alien aircraft were to catch sight of me, I would get into trouble. "

"Not just you, but all of us! If they were to discover these underground shelter we would be in trouble up to their necks! "

"I know very well, that's why I never go out, except at night and for a few hours."

"And never forget it!"

"Changing the subject ... Where are the others?"

"Around."

"I see ... Listen, how are we getting on with food?"

"We've had enough stock before we got here. We must make it enough, hoping that the invaders will be defeated. "

"And if not?"

"Explain yourself better."

"If they win?"

"We will be doomed, in that case."

"I see ..." the girl said, lowering her eyes.

"What are you thinking about?"

"To my boyfriend, Spike Spiegel ..."

"You didn't tell me you had one."

"I know you recently, I didn't feel like sharing information with you about my private life."

"Rightly, also because I don't stick my nose into other people's business."

"Anyway ... He's in the Pendragon police. Or at least it was ... I don't even know if he's alive. "

"If he is smart, he will have left the city when the ship arrives."

"I hope…"

"He's a smart guy, isn't he?"

"Yup. Skilled both in bed and with the gun, and he is kind. "

"You're lucky to have a boy like that."

"Yeah ... Do you have someone?"

"Currently not. You know, I'm on the other side. "

"On the other side? You mean…"

In response Faye kissed her on the lips, leaving her displaced.

"I mean," she said, winking at her.

After the initial astonishment, Julia nodded.

"I see…"

Faye stared at her greedily and licked their lips.

"You know, I have a little peckish ... And you're the only woman around!"

Having said that he pushed her to the ground, positioning himself above her and sensually licking her cheek.

"I don't like women ..." the blonde protested weakly.

"They all say so ..." the violet-haired answered, and then began to take off her shirt.

Weiswolf, 4.45pm

"... And that's it." Esdeath stated.

Lelouch nodded.

"I understand that there is a stalemate between the two factions, right?"

"Exactly, your majesty ..."

Immediately the blue raised a hand to her mouth, while Cornelia gave her a threatening look.

"Minister Esdeath! The empress here is me! "She scolded her.

"I got confused ..." She justified herself, embarrassed.

"I need time to work out a good strategy." The boy stated.

"Just don't take too much."

"Haste is a bad counselor, my dear little sister."

"Don't call me little sister!"

"Although of different mothers we are still brother and sister."

Cornelia got up from her chair, looking at him furiously.

"Clovis was your brother ... Euphemia and Nunnally were your sisters! And you killed them without mercy! "

"Clovis was slaughtering defenseless civilians, like you did after him. Euphemia had gone mad because of the geass, I had to kill her. Nunnally betrayed me, allying with you and Schneizel. Do I have to say anything else? "

"Forget it ... Cecile, accompany him to his rooms."

At those words the blue started.

"Me?" She asked.

"It's an order."

"Yes, your majesty ... Follow me, Mr. Lelouch."
