Chapter 132 I am Zero
I don't own Bleach or any of the powers and gear used in this story.
At school Lelouch was wandering around the outside, he saw the news and he was thinking how to save Suzaku, he then stops and hears a sound behind him, he then turns around.
"Boo!"he jumps back and saw Zack laughing at him wearing a uniform."Dude you make it too easy."
"What are you doing here?"Lelouch said.
"Victor managed to get us into school, he sweet talk the granddaughter of this place."He said.
Lelouch got surprised to hear that since Milly is one of his friends."Then where are the others?"
"Some around, and others are still being picked where the staff will put in which class."Zack said.
"I see."Lelouch said.
"Also what's with sending that one guy to execution."Zack said.
"It's a ploy, they're doing it to make all honorary britannians lose all rights because of it."Lelouch said.
"Oh I see."Zack then see Kallen looking at them from a distance."Hey isn't that?"
"Yes, but don't look too much, she's already suspicious of me when I used my power on her and found out it has a limit."Lelouch said.
Zack was silent before he whispers to him."You stupid idiot, always see what the limits are."
"Hey."Lelouch said.
"Well we better go."Zack said and they walked away.
Then at the student council room Milly was with her normal group with Kallen there.
"Well everyone I have announcement to make, today we're going to have a few new members."Milly said."Like Kallen here."
She waved at them and Rivalz said:"We got a cute one."
"But you said a few, I only see one."Shirley said.
"Oh they're coming."Milly said and the someone opened the door.
Lelouch looked and got surprised to see Zack and the others except for Alex.
"Everyone meet Draco, Victor, Hank, Leonidas, Yui, Aka, Zack, Shiro and Kazuo."Milly said.
"Aaah."Kazuo said.
Milly then hugs him."He's just the cutest."
"Wow"Rivalz looks at Yui or more exactly her chest.
"Where are you looking you pervert."She glared at him.
"Nowhere."he got scared.
Shiro looks at the other girl with green hair and glasses and she as shaking seeing him, Aka and Yui."What?"
"Elevens."She said.
Then the room got silent with Aka, Yui and Shiro looking at her with shocked looks along with the others.
"Why you racist little."Aka was mad.
"Excuse her, she's a little xenophobic because she had a bad experience."Milly said.
"Well let me tell you something, there's bad Japanese."Shiro looks at Nina."Just the same as there bad Britannians, bad people exist all over the world, but we cannot judge the others for who they are because of some other guys crime."
Lelouch is impressed at his words.
"Yeah that true."Shirley said.
Kallen even agreed with him.
"Now how about we celebrate our new members."Milly said and some cheered.
"Is there gonna be a party?"they saw Nunnally come in.
Kazuo got stunned before he smiles and goes up to her, she heard him and his familiar voice making her smile."Hi Kazuo."
"You know him?"Milly asked and the other members outside of Lelouch and Team light got curious.
"Yes, he came to my house and we played together."Nunnally said.
"Aw, thats adorable."Milly said and Lelouch got nervous.
"Hey what's wrong with him?"Kallen said.
Shirley noticed it and said:"Oh, he must be nervous with Nunnally being with another boy, he's always overprotective so I guess it must be hard for him."
"Oh."Kallen said since it made sense.
Draco sits down and looks at Lelouch with one eye and he looks at him, as if a signal was made between the two of them.
Later the group was in a train, there they were wearing new clothes for some of them, Zack was wearing his suit from when he met Kallen at Shinjuku, Draco is in Incursio, Kazuo was wearing his armor and helmet, Leonidas a Anbu clothes with a snake like anbu mask, Shiro just has his cyborg armor covering his body and his visor covering the entire head, Victor was wearing a cloak and red hood that covers his head and face along with black clothing, Aka was wearing his Golden Dragon guardian clothes, Hank as the Flash but the mouth was covered with the eyes having a visor like a certain other flash costume, Alex was wearing black armor on his chest and a black helmet with a slit, Yui was wearing the same clothes as Charmcaster from Ultimate alien with a hood and pink mask and Lelouch was wearing his new suit being purple with golden stripes, long wrapped sleeves, and a frilled white cravat, with a black and gold cloak with crimson spandex lining the inside and an enormous black cape encircling the head, but with a few added tech as the suit has a few blue lines on it and he has a helmet.
Lelouch tests the suit strenght and said:"This tech is amazing."
"Of course, it based off of my own soldiers suits with a few extra ones."Leonidas said.
Then Kallen came in with Oghi and the other resistance members.
"Are you the ones that called us."Kallen said.
"Yes, did you like the tour?"Lelouch asked.
"Why did you show us this?"Ohgi said.
"To show the difference to what Britannia has taken away."Draco said.
"Yes, your efforts are in good terms but will never do kuch."Leonidas said.
"What?"Tamaki got mad.
"Yes, Britannia will never fall for a petty terrorist attack like this, for this we must do something grander."Lelouch said.
He then tells them the plan.
Later at the city Suzaku was being set in a cart paraded around with Knightmares around him, Jeremiah and Villetta were helping securing it, many people were booing Suzaku calling him names.
But then Jeremiah stopped it since he saw Clovis car heading towards them."The princes car."
Kallen was dressed as a driver and she was nervous."I hope this works."
She then stops in front of them and Jeremiah said:"Stop right there, you have some nerve."
But then the back of the car opens to reveal Lelouch and the others.
"I am Zero!"he said.
"Alright Zero the shows over, have you and your friends take off the masks."Jeremiah said but then a box behind then opened to reveal the gas container.
"What in the?!" Jeremiah quietly said.
"Jeremiah watch out he's got the poison gas!" Villetta shouted.
"Wait you don't under-GAH!" Suzaku tried to say before the collar on his neck electrocuted him.
"You bastards! They've taken every Britannian here hostage! And he's done it without them even knowing it!" Jeremiah Growled before he aimed his pistol.
"Fine. What are your demands?" Jeremiah said.
"For now the demands with be an exchange. This for Private Suzaku Kururugi."Zero said.
"Like hell! He's charged with high treason for murdering a prince! I can't hand him over!"Jeremiah said.
"Oh your wrong, the one that truly killed him was me."Leonidas points at himself."Orochimaru!"
Everyone was in shock to hear that, the real killer was in front of them.
Jeremiah points his Knightmare at Leonidas but Flash throws his Lightsaber making it spin around and it cuts the Knightmare in half making Jeremiah get off before it falls down.
"Lord Jeremiah."Villetta said.
Jeremiah grunts and sees Flash get his weapon back."Give him the prisoner."
"What?"She got shocked.
"We don't have a choice, they already have everyone in danger and one of them destroyed my Knightmare with one move."he said.
Shiro goes foward to Suzaku and cuts him free, then other Knightmares pointed at him making zero pull the button releasing the gas and the people got scared while Zack grabbed Kallen as they made they're escape, a helicopter went down and they grabbed the ladder that was hanging off it so they could get away.
Later at a safe location
The group arrived there and Suzaku was looking down.
"It looks like they treated you rather roughly. Now you know what they're really like Private Kururugi."Zero said to Suzaku."Britannia is rotten. If you wish to bring change to this world, then join me!"
"So was it true? We're you the one that killed Prince Clovis?"Suzaku looks at Orochimaru.
"Yes, this is war, why wouldn't I kill a enemy that ordered a massacre."Orochimaru said making Suzaku flinch.
"And the poison gas? Those were civilians out there!"Suzaku said.
"It was colored gas, no one got hurt in the final results."Orochimaru said.
"The result? I suppose that all but matters to you all."Suzaku said making Team Light glare at him.
"Come join me. The Britannia you serve is a worthless dominion."Zero said.
"Maybe that's true. But! But this nation it can be changed for the better! And from within!"Suzaku said.
"Change?"Zero said while the others scoff.
"And any gains through tempt able means aren't worth anything!"Suzaku starts to walk away.
"Where are you going?"Zero said.
"My court martial begins in an hour."Suzaku said.
"Are you mad?"Yui said.
"Rules are rules and if I don't go then they'll begin cracking down on Elevens and honorary Britannians."Suzaku said.
"But you'll die."Zero said.
"So be it."Suzaku said before he heard laughing.
They looked at Orochimaru.(Which is Leonidas.)
"Oh what a funny joke, that you are. Here's a little reality check, while some might like us others will never change no matter what, your just little boy that dreams too much."
Suzaku got angry and tries to say something before home got grabbed in the face by Orochimaru shutting him up.
"Also, I don't care if you live or die, but I will enjoy watching you fall and have all hope you have left be crushed, because your no hero, your just a filthy little traitor."He then goes closer to his ear."Ain't that right daddy killer."Suzaku's eyes widen."So go and die if not then I'll be the one to kill you mr. honorary Britannian."he pushes him down and walks away.
Suzaku was looking down before he leaves the area.
"Did you know this would happen?"Zero asked them.
"In a way, I just expected him to at least atone for his sins by thinking about it."Orochimaru said.
"What sins?"Zero said.
"We'll tell you later, but now it's time we show you what a true leader is."Draco said."You see you think everyone as like a chess game, your a smart boy but if you truly wish for them to follow you then you have to gain they're trust."
"Trust?"Zero said.
"Yes, complete destruction of Britannia's empire is one thing but killing innocent people won't make us better than them, you have to look to what's really good and evil first before facing an enemy."Draco takes out a pawn chess piece."Because in real life."He let's it go and it breaks into pieces in the floor."Once you lose that piece it's gone forever and then a domino effect will start to crack the others."
Zero stares at him and thinks about what he's saying.
"There is someone that can teach you."Draco said and they walked away.
Later they arrived at they're base and were out of they're suits, Lelouch sees a desk with a chair there that was turned around.
"Who are you?"Lelouch asked since there was a person there.
The chair turns and it reveals Artoria Team Light's lancer servant.
Lelouch stares at her in shock since she has a familiar presence like he should know who she is.
"I am Artoria, but I am known as King Arthur."She said and he gasps.
The one that wishes to destroy Britannia is now facing the version of his former home's hero.
Note:They saved Suzaku but he's as stubborn as a mule, Leonidas laughed at him since he's no different than Kiritsugu also while they believe some can change others cannot, take Aizen army, they managed to save some arrancars but Aizen, Baraggan and others didn't, so they know the whole changing thing will not work as easy as Suzaku thinks plus he only cares about Japan forgetting that there's other countries suffering because of Britannia, but they can help Lelouch change his ways sooner by having him meet a person that is very close to Britannia and has ruled over it without becoming a tyrant.
