Turn ERROR The sword of destruction.
No. No. Nononono!
HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED?!
Betrayed...those worthless maggots.
My beloved sister...turned to ash by FREIJA. Along with my Suzaku...
Euphemia...gunned down by assassins from the Geass Order...
CC...her mind broken, captured by my father...
Kaguya...comatose, her brain damaged by a stray bullet, never to awaken...
Kallen...shot by Ohgi.
Fool. As if I would ever have abused my queen in such a manner!
I bare my teeth as I clutch her dying body to my torso.
"You...traitorous dog..."
Despite outnumbering me, despite having guns on me, despite all the advantages...they still take a step backwards.
"I gave you everything...a purpose, an army, a nation..."
I snarl as I point at Ohgi. "AND THIS IS YOUR PROOF OF LOYALTY!?"
Kallen weakly touches my face. "Lelouch...I'm so sorry."
I hold Kallen's face with my hands, tears streaming down. "Don't blame yourself, red."
I put my forehead on hers. "Some people are just ungrateful bastards."
She laughs, even coughing up her life's blood.
"I loved you, even all the times I hit you..."
I smile with a sickly grin. "I know...I didn't mind."
She spits up blood as she smiles. Even with her lips red with blood, she's still gorgeous.
"Pervert..."
I kiss her gently. "Only for those I love..."
She grasps my hand. "Do what you think is right...you magnificent pervert. Show the world what you can do..."
Her hand falls to her side. Her breath stopping as her eyes close forever.
...
...I'm done.
There is no more path forward. I tried to be the hero.
I tried to save the world.
But? The world is indeed evil.
I look up at the traitors...my despicable brother among them.
"You could have had it all...now, I will bring ruination to this world."
Their guns take aim.
Good bye my loves. I'll see you in the world of C.
Rolo?! You little bastard. Well, I'm not taking a gift horse in the mouth.
Rolo pushes himself hard, his Geass killing him bit by bit. I don't have the heart to tell him. I can't tell him his brother's heart has died.
I lay his corpse under a tree.
I Geass as many goons as I can.
Mere pawns, distractions.
My goal is C's World. The Sword of Akasha.
I stride in. My father standing proudly.
And at his feet...CC!
I rush to her side. Impossible! She's not breathing...she's dead. But how...?
At that moment, my mother waltzes in. The symbol of Code upon her brow.
My father laughs, that overwhelming loud sound that only a man his size can do.
"Lelouch! This is the culmination of decades! Join us! Together, we shall slay god and set humanity free!"
He stretches out his hand to my mother, the Code symbol on his palm, his other hand beckoning me. The Sword of Akasha undulating upward behind him.
Oh father. You truly do not understand, do you?
It's too late.
I ignore him as I stride confidently to the sword. I touch it with my hand, feeling the power within.
Yes...this is it.
"Lelouch, what are you up to, boy?"
I begin chuckling. My mother looking on concerned.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" My maniacal laughter fills the room.
"You thought I would join YOU?"
I gaze upward, my rage pushing my other eye to glow with Geass's light.
"The only thing I desire...IS HUMANITY'S END!"
I grasp hold of the Sword, my face alight with a maddening flame in my eyes.
"WORLD OF C! I COMMAND YOU! MAKE ME THE DESTROYER OF HUMANITY!"
The sword...stops.
A cracking sound echoes through the clouds and ruins.
I let loose a howl as PAIN floods into me. SUFFERING, ANGER, SADNESS.
It overtakes my body...but as my father said...'All men are not created equal.'
And I will destroy humanity with the depths of my fury.
I feel my body expanding, my consciousness growing. I flex my hand as the sword of Akasha warps and twists into a screaming sword-like shape.
My head is engulfed...and then the stuff of consciousness becomes real. With my will, a helmet is forged.
A twisted parody of my former costume.
A ragged cape, armored greaves, and in place of my helmet...
A fanged grinning edifice. Topped by a single eye taking up most of my face. My shoulders twist and mutilate into smaller similar structures.
I raise the hellish sword to my face.
"I am strength! I am valor! I am destruction! I am whole! With divine sword in hand, I sever the threads of humanity's evil on this world!" my words echo across the room, and I know humanity itself can feel the terror of my coming.
I open the gaping maw beneath my single eye as I speak with my new voice, using a body forged of humanity's collective fear and hatred.
"われはZERO, 人間のてき!おしてまえ!" (I am Zero, enemy of humanity! THE END HAS COME!)
And thus the world and all that dwells in it shall burn... All Hail Zero.
End of omake.
