Author's Note: Hey guys, here's the new chapter. Apologies for the late release but as I said my job can get hectic at times and this week was. I hope you all are enjoying reading this. For those who have questions as to why Jason-Lelouch (Jalouch you could say) acts a certain way then suddenly changes or why there are a few discrepancies in his memory. I intentionally made it like that and it will be explained in later chapters. I hope you guys like the action in this chapter.
The next is issue is that I'm painfully aware that I have a problem when I write action scenes and that's the reason why it took a while for this chapter to come out. Even though this chapter only has a small scene in it. Originally I was supposed to have this posted yesterday but the action scenes weren't up to my expectations. One of my friends said that it had too much detail and hopefully after the final rewrite it came out alright. I'm more than welcome with people giving me some pointers on how I could make it better next time but I will be ignoring people who are just hating without a point. I would appreciate some constructive reviews since that will allow me to gauge whether or not people are enjoying this story or not but it isn't necessary. It would be appreciated however. Again, I will be ignoring people who just spout "You story is shit" or anything similar. If you do want to say such a thing, at least give me a proper argument as to why you find it so. If I do find your point valid I will respond to it the best I can. Otherwise my default reply would be "No one's forcing you to read this fic"
As for pairings, I've decided that it's going to be a 'Harem'. As to why I put quotes around the word, I'm trying to be a cheeky bastard and foreshadow something. First confirmed pairing is OC(Jason)/Cornelia which is gonna be tricky as fuck but I won't worry about that till they meet. Also fair warning there will be lemons coming in the (distant) future and let's just say I'm going to stretch the meaning of "When life gives you lemons" a whole lot.
Q&A with Reviewers/Private Messengers.
Lord Alania: I hope I keep you interested!
Blaze1992: I wish I could do that but I think that will give Jason too much of an advantage. Fore Knowledge can be just as dangerous if used correctly and that's what he's going to be. However, Jason knowing about other series' mecha weapon designs and gimmicks is not off the table. In the future you will be seeing some familiar mecha's coming out of the wood works. All I will say is that, Rakshata will consider Jason as a treasure trove of ideas. Hell even Lloyd might consider defecting seeing how many fascinating ideas were coming out *coughcough.
MMBrowsing: Once again your input is gladly appreciated. Don't worry about our dear Viceroy, I have got plans for him. The only hint I will be giving out about his outcome is this: Not everything is as it seems. As for the matter of the side materials being included. I'm still on the fence about it since I am not that well versed into their stories. As well as that it will make this a lot more complicated than I wish it to be so if they do not appear I am sorry to say to you as well as other hopefuls about them not appearing. After this arc, there will be a breather of sorts where Jason can start thinking about his situation before he is forced into action again. After all he is in middle of combat and doesn't have the luxury to think at the moment.
Without further ado, I will be issuing a spoiler warning for this fanfic. The OC has in-depth knowledge of Code Geass and information will be spoilt throughout the story.
I do not own Code Geass. Code Geass is owned by Sunrise, Goro Taniguchi, Ichirō Ōkouchi and Clamp. In addition any other animation works that's mentioned are all owned by their respective creators as well as owners. Please support the official release.

Line Break
Previously
Hi there, my name is Jason Jung Ehn Everett.
"This shall be our contract. In exchange of my gift, you will grant a single wish of mine.
Accept this and you will live on as a human while also live unlike any other human."
I'm a 25 year old male born to an American Father and a Korean Mother whom I love very much.
"Could you all do me a favor and... Die".
I have an older sibling who I am quite close with. My hobbies include watching anime, reading manga, cosplaying and listening to music.
"Kidnapped? Why on Earth would terrorists kidnap a student?"
I'm a Mid Level Office worker with a decent salary. I don't have a girlfriend but I have friends who I can call family.
"...Jason, are you having a boner right now?"
Did I mention I'm in the body of an anime character from a TV show that I watched from high school?
"Yes"
Now
"The West Entrance! Use the former JR train tracks and move towards the west entrance!"
"Who's this?! How do you know this code!?"
"Fiery one isn't she?" Somehow I can hear the smirk coming off my co-pilot.
Rolling my eyes from Villetta's remark, I continue "Do you want to win or no?"
With a hitch in a her voice Kallen responds "Win?"
It becomes quiet for a few moments but then a ping on the radar shows an incoming Knightmare followed by 2 additional units with the latter gaining the distance on it's retreating target.
"Villetta, on my signal fire your slash harkens on the Sutherland that continues to chase after the Glasgow then use the Assault rifle on the 2nd one behind it"
"Roger that." I feel the weight of her body move as she shifts into position ready to fire. I feel my own body start to tense as I nervously glance between to the monitor screen right in front of me and the radar map on the screen on top of it. "ETA on the train?"
Only to have Villetta respond back with silence. Wondering why she wasn't replying my eyes widen when I realize something quite important 'Crap! I forgot to ask if the delivery train was heading this direction! For all I know it could have already passed us!' I break out of my thoughts when I see 2 yellow eyes staring at me surprised "How did you know the train was coming up? I only told you that there was a deliver via train not where it currently was heading."
'Thank god for fore knowledge. However I should stop solely relying on it so heavily... I don't want to make a huge mistake' I clear my throat so that the lump that formed in it disappears "I saw something moving gradually towards us on the map and considering the path it was taking it looked like it was on some tracks. Put two and two together and voila." If there's one thing I'm good at is that I'm real good at bullshitting my way out of a problem.
"I see. Startled me there for a second." A nervous laughter was my response.
Suddenly, in the distance a red figure being chased by 2 objects appears behind it rushing towards our general direction. 'Finally, Kallen's arrived'.
"Oi, What do I do now?" Immediately after, the train that's carrying the cargo filled with toy- I mean the Knightmare Reinforcements arrives. 'Got to love the on-time schedule of the Japanese Metro' I joke to myself.
"Since you placed your trust in me, you get to win. Jump onto the train and make sure you're not anywhere near the front car!"
"Gotcha!" The Glasgow jumps over the 1st car and skips towards the end. One of the Sutherlands that was chasing after her stops the train from moving then from it's speakers I hear a voice familiar to me "You seriously think you could get away like this? If that's your plan..."
'Steady, steady.' beads of sweat start forming on the top of my head.
"You! Go after the Glasgow!" "Yes, My Lord!" As soon I hear that I roar
"VILLETTA, NOW!" "ROGER!"
The exact moment when the Knightmare jumped up from the tracks, Villetta pressed a button on top of both joysticks which turned out to be the trigger for the slash harkens since I see on the monitor 2 black lines jolt out and hit the Knightmare midair.
"What the? Friendly fire?! YOU! WHAT UNIT ARE YOU FROM! THE ENEMY IS THE RED GLASGO-" before the pilot could finish Villetta squeezes on a button located on right grip where the index finger was resting. After doing so she again presses the round button on top of the joystick. I then feel the cockpit shake slightly from the recoil of the Assault Rifle.
"T-TERRORISTS!?" The left leg of the enemy Knightmare explodes followed by the left arm. The chest area gets punctured by a couple of bullets. A stray bullet hits the joints on the right arm and it goes limp. A moment later I see the cockpit of the opposing Knightmare blast out and soar a few miles northwards. 'He ejected huh, didn't need Kallen to kick him in the head.'
I hear a small alarm, looking at where the noise was coming from I spot 2 smaller monitors beneath the main one that's located just above where the left and right knee should be. A big red zero blaring out ominously on the right one.
"Oh please tell me that's not the status of the energy filler." I curse at myself. When I asked Villetta to give me a rundown on weapons and ammo I automatically assumed the energy filler status would be included. Nonetheless I still completely forgot about it even when Villetta didn't mention it. In hindsight, it really shouldn't count in the ammo category since it's just the battery for this hunk of metal.
"Luckily no, otherwise we'd be in deep trouble. That's just the ammo counter. After this is done, I'm gonna go over the controls and other details with you so you don't blast a million questions during combat. Thankfully you've only been asking when we're in the clear" said Villetta with a hint of annoyance in her voice.
"Sorry about that, and thanks. Really. I would really appreciate that" I reply back in a sheepish manner. "I'll try to keep the questions to a minimum or at least when we're not engaged with the enemy. Now, I need you to get me to another vantage point. Preferably one with an overhead view of all the ghetto or most if the former is too risky."
Nodding her head, I pick up the radio and just as I was about to tap the button and ask Kallen if she was okay she beats me to the punch.
"Thanks for the help! You really saved me back there. You alright? How on earth did you get a Sutherland? ...Huh? Where did he go?"
'Heh heh, she sounds kinda cute when she's confused.' A gentle smile makes it way on my face from hearing such an innocent tone in this situation.
"Thanks for your concern but it's not needed. Your friends should be grouping up with you soon. In fact I believe they should be appearing before you right about now..."
"KALLEN! You're alright!" comes another voice on the radio.
"Ohgi-san!"
"What was with that radio message just now?"
"Eh? You guys heard it as well?"
I frown at their lack of urgency as well as at their security protocols. Luckily I, or rather Lelouch, was able to pick up the radio thus giving me a way to contact these guys but that doesn't mean the enemy isn't trying to find out the terrorist's frequency. After all there's only so many channels a radio can use. They were bound to find the one these guys were using.
Before they can get too comfortable in asking each other a billion questions I grip the radio tightly then tap on a button
"Yea! Yoshida's group heard it as well, they should be coming here soon to-"
"While it is touching to see you all reunited, I would suggest you all focus on what's on hand. We have a battle to finish ladies and gentlemen. The one that was speaking just now. I assume you're the leader of this cell correct?"
"Uhhh Y-yea"
"Well then, as to why I asked your Knightmare Devicer to come here it was because of that train. I urge you all to help yourselves and take what's inside it. In fact, consider it as a gift from myself to you all." I involuntarily let out a chuckle "Inside the cargo you will find the tools to your victory. If you wish to win and get out of here alive, all I ask is that you follow my orders."
I wait for a response but nothing. 'Ugh I hate this. They're probably going over the cargo right now but I don't know if that's what they ARE doing. At least in the anime you had perspective shots where you could see what they were doing but NOOOOOOOOO I just can't have that now can I? Although that would be a broken as fuck ability.' in the middle of my complaining I get interrupted when I feel a large and painful thump on my balls. Breaking me out of my inner dialog I see Villetta staring at me.
"You were spacing out again and no matter how many times I called you, you weren't responding."
"But did you have to do that" I say as I fight back the re-emerging realization of having a beautiful bronzed skin woman riding on top of me.
"Hey, it got your attention right?"
'That and lil junior... can't have him waking up and making me lose focus.' After having a few moments to collect myself I talk into the radio. "You in the Glasgow"
"Y-YES?!"
'Gods she's adorable.' "I need you to stay where you are and not get in a Sutherland. I'm sorry to say but I need you to run decoy. I have observed your skills and I have to say I am extremely impressed. You were able to outrun 2 Sutherlands, who had a generational leap advantage, in your Glasgow. If I were able to fit you in a proper frame, and one that's not held together by duct tape, with training I dare say you could go toe-to-toe with a Round's."
"O-oh. T-thank you?"
'Gah she's precious. I wonder if she's blushing from that compliment' "Which is why you'll be staying where you are cause I know you can survive. What's the status of your Energy Filler?"
"About 15 minutes worth. I was hoping to get a refill."
"And that you shall. Load a new one in and maybe take a spare with you. Even if you don't need to use it, it can come as a handy last minute explosive or for an emergency load when someone runs out."
"U-um Understood."
"Excellent" As I was about to continue acting on like in the show an alarming memory flashes into my mind. 'Shinjuku Ghetto...Royal Guard... Villetta...Suzaku...LANCELOT! FUCK! I completely forgot about that!' Putting my hand over the radio's speaker I quietly ask Villetta "Villetta what do you know about Lloyd?"
"Who?"
"A silver haired bespectacled man who is working for, umm what was it again. Right! Camelot or A.S.E.E.C."
"Oh him. Nothing much other than he is project head of the Prime Minster's think tank. Why?"
"It's because he has successfully made a 7th Generation Frame."
As expected my Co-pilot freezes. "I need to get you out of here. I don't know Lloyd personally but from what I have heard he's as crazy as he is a genius and he's a freaking prodigy. If HE'S the one who's made a functioning 7th Generation frame then we do not stand a FUCKING chance! If I can't take you to the G1 I'll take you to the edge of the Ghetto that way yo-"
"Villetta, Calm down." I grab her by her chin and gently turn her head so that I can look into her eyes. "I have a plan, albeit not that well thought out but one where I can guarantee where we can get out alive"
'what the hell am I saying?' my hand removes itself from Villetta's face and re-positions itself around her waist then without having any control over my own mouth
"Just do as you've been doing till now dear, obey". As I mutter those words I see the Geass ring on her eyes brighten, smiling she says back to me "Okay".
I feel a shiver tingle down my spine when I feel...arousal...AROUSAL!? Eyes widening in horror 'NO! THIS isn't ME! I DON'T FUCKING GET OFF WITH CONTROLLING WOMEN!' Whatever it was making me feel this... I did not like it 'DON'T YOU DARE TAKE CONTROL OVER ME!' Suddenly as I finish that thought I felt the controls, for lack of a better term, return back to me.
'What on Earth is happening to me?' as I contemplate in silence to brood over what just happened to me Kallen's voice bursts out from the radio.
"Hey! You okay?! You been unresponsive for a while. We were starting to get worried".
"My apologies." Thinking on my feet my brain goes into gear to spout out the newest bullshit-on-the-fly excuse I could think of for my silence. "Forgive me for my sudden silence however it is with good reason. I have an inside man working for me in the military and they just sent me some disturbing information. Apparently Our Dear Viceroy has been hiding quite the trump card. Besides the Gas Canister you all acquired he seems to have an ace in the hole so to speak." I could hear the tension grow as the people on the other end of the radio are no doubt listening to my every word. "He possesses a 7th Generation Knightmare frame called the Lancelot."
Surprisingly I only hear a single gasp within the sea of murmurs of confusion.
"So what? Not only do we have Kallen but we also have a crap ton of Sutherlands. What's one Frame gonna do against 20 of us?" Came the voice of Kazunari Tanaka, rest in peace or rather the character he voiced, Shinichiro Tamaki.
"It seems only one of you fully understood the gravity of our situation. Isn't that right Ms. Glasgow Pilot?"
A hard "Yes" comes from the Red headed future Ace.
"OI FUCKER! YOU CALLING US DUMB?!"
Rolling my eyes at Tamaki, which I hope doesn't become a habit, I make sure that my sigh was audible. "Before I explain as to why the Lancelot is a threat let me tell you why I don't address our best pilot by her name. First off, how was I able to get your frequency."
As I hoped I was met with silence, intentionally making them squirm for a bit I wait for a few moments before I continue "If I was able to get it what makes you think the Britannians won't be able to? And I stumbled upon it by accident". Although I knew it was because Kallen dropped this device in the truck I still wanted them to be careful. For all I knew we were being listened in to. There is the possibility where I have already caused a massive enough ripple where one person might have thought to locate the terrorists by pinpointing their signals. Better to be safe than sorry is my life's motto after all. 'Note to self, find the data logs and the officer who might be recording us and anyone who knows then get rid of them'
"Just now I was able to hear the names of Ms. Glasgow's, your leader's and one other. How many Kallen's are there in Japan? Furthermore, how many of them might have relations to the Japanese and happened to be unaccounted for on this day? That's why I'll be assigning you all code names which I will be referring to you as from now on. Now as to why the Lancelot is a threat. A technological leap in war can be disastrous. After all, what happens when you bring bows and arrows to a gun fight? The modern equivalent would be tanks in a Knightmare fight and you all know how that went."
It was a cheap shot and needlessly antagonizing but I needed one to get the point across. Cruel? Yes. Pointless? No. After all is pain not our greatest teacher? I may not understand what they must have felt when their country was gone and their culture taken but I at least can empathize with them on some small level.
"You all were ONLY equipped with a Generation 4 Knightmare Frame against an army of Generation 5's and were getting your ass handed to you before I came along. So when I say a 7th Generation may debut... A UNIT THAT IS 3 TIMES AS ADVANCED THAN THE UNIT YOU HAVE NOW, YOU BET YOUR ASS YOU SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT IT BOY!" Frankly I was surprised at my tone and judging from Villetta's face she was as well. 'I guess I'm more stressed out than I thought'
"I will contact you all in 15 minutes. I hope you're all in the Sutherlands by then and willing to listen to me. If you do, I promise that if you do place your faith in me, I'll repay you back tenfold. Like how I did with your pilot".
Putting down the radio, I ruffle my hair with my left hand. "this is so much more tiring that I thought."
"So then Jason, what's your plan for the Lancelot? I hope your mole has given you plenty info on it otherwise we might as well be target practice for it."
"Villetta, for now just keep an eye out for anything suspicious, try to see if you can listen in on the enemy's radio. It'll be helpful for when we start to move against them. I'm gonna go over some details in my head." Not even looking to see if Villetta confirmed my orders I go deep into thought and try to analyze the Lancelot.
'Okay, The Z-01 Lancelot. Named after The Camelot Round Table's Knight of the Lake Lancelot Du Luc... Designed by the Earl of Pudding, who's a nutcase, and tuned it out to all hell. From what I remember not many people could even make it move properly cause it was over-tuned to the point that the controls became sensitive to the devicer's smallest movements. The MVS blades and the VARIS energy rifle are still under development till the Purist's Revolt and the Kawaguchi Incident so no need to worry about that.' A noise of relief escapes me. I look at the time. '13 Minutes left till contact.'
Resuming 'It is as agile as a ballerina but can hit like Mike Tyson jacked up on elephant steroids.' I snort when I visualize that imagery.
'Like all Frames, it's powered by the Yggdrasil Drive which uses Sakuradite as it's source. Unlike all frames however, Sakuradite is scattered throughout the entirety of it's body for a reason that eludes me at the moment. I wonder if that means it's easier for it to explode? Unlike the Glasgows and Sutherlands it's fact-sphere is located in the chest which should be heavily armored.'
Placing fingers on my temples, I start massaging them to stimulate my brain as well as nurse the headache that's about to be born 'Right now it should only have it's limbs and the slash harkens on it's forearms as weapons. Depending on how we push it though Lloyd might allow the Harken Booster's limiter off if it means his precious doesn't get wrecked. Last BUT NOT LEAST... The Blaze Luminous...'
There it is, the headache. 'Not only can that blasted thing tank rifle shells but Cannons as well that fucking thing can tank a Hadron Energy blast if it has enough powe-... THAT'S IT! ENERGY CONSUMPTION! THAT'S MY ANSWER!' after stumbling onto to that idea I ask Villetta to open the map. After tossing a few environment conditions I was looking for Villetta and I went back and forth looking for a spot in the map where we can lure the Lancelot to until finally.
"There, right where the old shopping is located. If we can lure him in there not only will we have him boxed in we can rain shells down on him until he runs out of energy. We just need him focused on fighting so he doesn't realize we're luring him into a trap." 'Hopefully we'll have enough bullets till his energy drops to 0."
"I'm impressed Jason. Strategy is sound and we have a chance in taking him out. Unless Earl Asplund developed a Energy Fillers to have his Frame double it's operation time, which I doubt, we should be fine. We could also collapse the building as a last resort if our shells are insufficient. A shame you weren't with us from the beginning. I think you would have a superb military career."
"Villetta! I could kiss you right now! Yes! With this we have the minimal conditions to win!" Looking back at the clock it was nearly time for me to reestablish contact with Kallen's group. Radio in hand I ask my silver haired companion one last question.
"How's our energy?"
"We have around 78% left. It might be a good idea to get a new pack so that our Frame doesn't die halfway in operation against the 7th Generation Frame."
Nodding, I talk into the radio. "Now then ladies and gentlemen. I hope you have reached to a conclusion. One, I personally jope, where are in cooperation with each other."
Responding back was Ohgi "Yea, it took some time but we got everyone on board but on one condition."
"Oh and what would that be Captain?"
"C-Captain?"
"isn't what you are? Aren't you the leader of this cell therefore the captain of your own crew?"
"Oh... Never considered myself as one since I'm barely keeping us afloat..."
"I see... Well then, what was that condition?"
"Ah right... We want to trust you it's just that... we don't know who you are. Like you said Kal- I mean Our Glasgow pilot's, one other member and my identity is compromised, we might be in trouble even we get out of this alive...I-is there anyway you can tell us who you are? Why you're fighting alongside us?"
'That's quite shrewd of him, trying to make me reveal myself to establish some form of trust. Along with mutual destruction if we fail and I don't betray or skip out on them when things go bad. How should I handle this...' Only a few seconds go by once I form what I want to say.
"My sincerest apologies Captain but like I said earlier our communications maybe be compromised. My identity cannot be leaked to the Britannian army otherwise not only will our surprise be gone but if I was revealed then all I can say is Japan will have no future."
Giving them some time to digest that information I continue. "The Emperor himself will see it to that I be eliminated through capture or by unloading the full force of his Round Knights against me."
"THE EMPEROR!? Just w-who are you?"
"Who I am is of no concern." Suddenly feeling a bit playful I remember a movie I watched and decided to use a few of it's lines. "What I am is an idea and ideas my dear Captain... are bulletproof. So let me add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me... Zero."
"Zero?"
"As to why I fight... like you I have had my home taken from me. Like you I have lost loved ones and like you I was deemed worthless by the Empire. And what is a number if not a conquered human? Thus I am Zero. Nil. Nothing. A Number. But has the potential to be just as deadly as infinity. I have been looking to contact a reliable cell in Japan for some time now. One that lines up with my own views and have determination as much as me to bring tyranny down from its throne and install an era of peace. Thus I have chosen you."
"That's... pretty overwhelming to hear."
"As for your blown covers. I already have a plan to make sure you and particularly that pilot don't get hunted down. Only! If you join forces with me."
With that being said, I wait for their answers. The information I have provided about myself should bait them into being interested. At least until the battle is over but one can only hope.
"Okay Zero, for now I believe that we can work with you. Judging by how you sound you seem confident in what you're doing. So instructions?"
I let out a sigh of relief. Okay, now that is out of the way I send everyone their code-names and ask what weapons the train is packing. No surprise when I hear about the standard Machine Guns, Ammo, Crates of Chaos mines and a few C-4's being included. What got me though was that there were a few Large Production Cannons with the standard shells along with High Explosive variants. Accompanying them were 10 Anti-Knightmare Personnel Snipers.
'Lelouch probably thought they wouldn't be useful against Sutherlands but with the Lancelot looming...'
Instructing the group to arm themselves with the Machine Guns I tell them to move the content of the additional armaments near the old shopping mall Villetta and I found. Telling them that what we have will do for now and that the extra firepower were only going to be used in case they do launch the Lancelot. I also ask if Kallen, now Q-1, was a good shot with a Sniper and no surprise she says she has a success rate of 83%. 83%... 83% like it was nothing! Even I had a hard time with it when I was enlisted into the Korean Army for mandatory military service. Giving out additional orders to place a single Sutherland where the armaments were going, it was time to fight back.
"Well then Ladies and Gentlemen of the Shinjuku Cell. It is time we fight back. It's time to show Britannia what it's like to feel when they are on the losing end. From now on, we fight. Not to survive. BUT TO WIN!"
A roar of cheers blasts throughout the radio.
'Now then Dear Clovis. It's time for our chess match to begin. I hope you're ready cause I will give. NO. Quarter!' With a sinister smile, forming without my permission, I begin my- OUR operation.
"Mission No 1: Revolution. BEGIN!"
To be continued...
There you have it folks, Chapter 3 of Jason's rebellion. A quick warning that I won't be able to post another chapter in 3 days time but should have it ready on the 5th day barring that no last minute calls comes in from my job. Anyway, I hope you all have a fantastic weekend. See you next time!
Edited: I realized the spelling and grammar mistakes after I published them (Which will be eternally annoying) I edited the chapter where they should no longer appear... I hope.
