Chapter 37 : The samaritan
5:00 pm
Edward was in his room staring at the ceiling with grim air lying on the bed.
Damn ... Since CC left me, I feel so alone ... If it hadn't been for that bastard Lelouch now she'd still be by my side.
He thought bitterly.
He could not bear the idea that the woman he had loved and revered for years had dumped him for a bastard who considered her nothing more than a tool of pleasure. He had in fact been convinced that Lelouch was a monster unable to feel love, or even simply affection for someone. He was also sure that he was waiting for the right moment to regain power, to then re-impose the geass on the whole humanity. That prospect terrified him, becoming the docile slave of a tyrant, with no possibility of opposing or rebelling. To distract him from those thoughts he thought a loud knock on his door.
"Who is it?" He asked, annoyed.
"Hi, Eddie."
"What do you want, Ashley?"
"Well, some friends and I were thinking of visiting Lelouch, why don't you join us?"
"If I find myself in front of that bastard I swear I break his face."
"You can do it." Harley spoke.
"What would you say?"
"That ours will not be a courtesy visit, do you understand?"
"You mean ..."
"That will be a punitive expedition."
Edward smiled skeptically.
"You are crazy ... He has the geass and the code. Impossible to attack him, let alone kill him. "
"We got anti-geass glasses. And we don't want to kill him, just have a little fun with him. Obviously the fun will be ours alone. "
"In that case I'm in it. I want to give that bastard a good lesson. "
"He will have it, I guarantee it."
Osaka, 1:15 am
Although it was the deep night, the Japanese metropolis, escaped from alien destruction, was lit up, still active. In the Chūō-ku district, a garbage truck was picking up garbage from a dumpster when it suddenly froze.
And now what does he take?
The driver wondered, annoyed.
Next to the vehicle a series of electric shocks materialized. Frightened, the man got out of the truck and ran away. A few seconds later, on the spot, Gerel appeared, who first vomited copiously. When she had recovered he thought:
Damn ... This human body suffers the effects of orbital transporter!
She stood up, looking around.
And to make matters worse I also got the wrong place ... I had to get to Paris, but I'm in Osaka!
She snorted with annoyance and then set off towards a nearby public bath, drawn by some voices. There he saw five people (three boys and two girls) looking at something laughing. They noticed her presence and turned to her.
"Another homeless ... Are you friends with this refusal?" The girl asked.
"The homeless do not wear astronaut suits ... And then this seems familiar to me." A friend of her said.
"Move!" Gerel ordered them.
Frightened, the thugs obeyed. The woman stepped forward, her eyes on the object around which they were gathered. She was a girl ... Long blond hair, blue eyes, tanned skin. She was completely naked, and pregnant. She was covered in bruises, a sign that she had been beaten to blood.
"You, eh?"
"What do you care? She's a lousy tramp, and a slut. Maybe it's even drugged. The society doesn't need a wreck like her! "The girl replied, looking like the group leader.
"You haven't changed at all, despite the countless centuries that have passed. Always ready to trample on the weakest, always ready to inflict suffering on others. My brother was stupid to think he could redeem you."
"This whore just lacks some wheel, I think ..." said the second girl, who had short black hair.
This girl is definitely strange ... Wait, maybe I saw her on Yourtube.
A boy with short black hair and eyes of the same color thought.
He worked on his I-phone XII and connected to the famous social network. One of the most clicked videos was Gerel's speech, which took place four weeks earlier. Now he recognized her.
"Oh ... Shit!" He swore, terrified.
Suddenly, from Gerel's eyes, heat rays began to burn 4 of the thugs. The fifth, upset, tried to escape but ended up disintegrating in turn.
Human scum ...
Gerel thought, turning then to the woman lying on the ground. She was pretty bad, barely able to move. She stared at her in fear.
And now what do I do with her? The ideal would be to kill her, it is an uncomfortable witness.
"... Thanks ..." the woman said in a weak voice.
"Hm?"
"... You saved me ... You're Gere, right?"
"Gerel."
"I saw your speech a few weeks ago ... Were you serious?"
"Exact. I am determined to enslave mankind, if it is possible even more than before after what I have witnessed. "
"I see…"
"Now choose: either come with me on the mother ship or die here. Can't I leave spies around, do you understand? "
"All right ... I'll go with you. But under these conditions I cannot move. "
"Let me do it."
That said Gerel put her hands on the belly of the blonde, and from them sprang a blue light, which soon healed her wounds. Surprised, the young woman stood up, looking at her hands.
"Now get dressed. It's time to go. What's your name, by the way? "
"Saki".
"All right, Saki ... Get a move on."
The girl retrieved her clothes (a woolen cap, an old raincoat and a pair of briefs) and her shoes and put them on.
"Now we just have to wait."
"What?"
"The orbital transporter. It will take a while before it is activated again. Meanwhile, notice C-3PO. "
"Agree."
Gerel put two fingers to her temple, concentrated, then said mentally:
C-3PO, do you receive me?
Strong and clear, my lady.
The transporter sent me to the wrong place, instead of sending me to Japan in Europe. Now get busy and see me get back on board.
It will be done.
Well.
Gerel snorted, then turned to Saki.
"Hold me by the hand, otherwise you will be stuck here."
The young woman obeyed.
Weiswolf, 5.30 pm
Lelouch and CC were still frolicking in their room, when suddenly someone knocked on the door.
"Who will ever be?" Asked the green.
"It's too early for dinner ... I'm going to check." His lover replied.
Rising from the bed, he went to open, finding himself in front of Edward, who was staring at him mockingly.
"Hi!" She greeted him, then punched him in the face that made him lose consciousness.
