"What do you want Lulu?" His brother questioned from the other side of the table, an odd gleam in his otherwise fond eyes. Schniezal had started using his nickname ever since hearing of it's existence from Nunnally.
He ignored it of course.
"The throne," Lelouch answered promptly as he moved his knight. "Check,"
His brother feigned looking down at the board, imitating a thoughtful expression though Lelouch knew he was more focused on their conversation. The odd gleam had grown, taking an almost demonic look, the tell-tale signs of his brothers geass activating.
Lelouch felt himself tense. It meant his brother was taking it seriously.
They'd had this conversation before, the same question and answer each and every time. Only usually, his brother would simply chuckle and shake his head good naturally before telling him that was the one thing he couldn't get him.
This was the first time he'd activated his geass.
Cancel. His brothers geass gave the rest of the family the power to prevent something from working in their immediate vicinity. Be it from as far as the oxygen flow in the air down to sound waves themselves. He longed for the day his own goal with the ability was achieved, though he almost never had the time to work on it. Still, it all depended on what it's user was capable off. The range it covered depending on said user aswell.
And that was simply the weaker version.
His brother had once cancelled a man's blood-flow. An assassin sent after him. It had terrified the entire court. Seeing a child take out a professional hit-man had set his brothers rise in stone.
There was a reason very few in the family tended to use it, his brother demanded an explanation. Not to him though.
To the emperor.
And now he was watching it happen. He wasn't sure how his brother generally used the geass, though he figured it had something to do with the calm demeanour he was showing. He'd certainly never seen him rattled before.
After a few moments of silence, his brother moved a single piece, getting out of the trap he'd been in before saying something that would change the rest of his life.
"Alright Lelouch, you can have the crown, but under one condition," His brother stated honestly, genuine warmth practically radiating from his smile.
Lelouch had never once feared the brother he'd idloised ever since his first true loss in a game of chess.
And after that moment, he doubted there would be anything near half as terrifying in his future.
...
Lelouch stared on ahead along with everyone else, an aloof expression on his face as he pocketed his hands. His right hand quickly finding the small pack of tablets hidden inside. With a small click he opened it and grabbed one. He'd need it if he wanted to access the rest of his families powers. Though the side effects were not going to be enjoyable in the least.
"What ya going to do about this one," Momo questioned with a snort.
He appraised the girl before him as he waited for his turn. He'd been rather surprised to find out her quirk hadn't been a pocket dimension. No, apparently everyone in his class simply couldn't settle for conventional quirks. That was putting it mildly. Because seriously, a naval laser? Though that didn't compare to the one in front of him. She could practically reproduce anything so long as she understood how it was made.
He was pretty sure no one else in the country understood exactly what that meant.
"You know," Lelouch started, completely missing the girls question regarding the second test. High jump. "If you were born in Britain, you'd be a practical star with your quirk."
Mom raised an eyebrow at him, "That's not what I was asking but... Thanks I guess," She shrugged good natureduly.
"Hmm, I can see it now, the infamous 'Walking Nuke,'"
He could actually see the vein appear on her face.
"Not the first time I've heard that," She seemed to deflate, before a glint reappeared in her eyes. "I'd never use it for something like that,"
Somehow he doubted that would've worked with his father. "Well, good thing you weren't born there," He grinned back.
"Hmm," She remarked after a moment before questioning him again. "So what are you going to do about the high jump? You're up soon,"
By that she meant he was last. After the first trial, Aizawa apparently decided to leave him last. that way if he interfered with others, they'd have enough reason to sabotage him.
Well, besides the one with explosions... He still couldn't understand what that student's thought process was going through, when he'd tried to use his quirk on him, all he'd gotten was some nightmarish after-image that seemed to flicker out every two seconds.
As for the high jump.
"It's not like stopping time's going to help you there," She added on.
His classmates reaction to his ability to stop time was oddly endearing.
Especially the swear words, he'd never heard of half of them before.
He was oh-so-glad his father had decided to be multi-lingual in his youth. It was one of his redeeming qualities. The other one been his 'love' for his mother.
"I suppose we'll find out," He smiled back as he froze time, disrupting the current person on trial... Midoriya Izuku he believed? Or some such at any rate. Though that one refused to use his own quirk for some reason. He quickly removed the tablet, swallowing it in one gulp as he unfroze time. A red crane symbol appearing on his head in the process.
Momo blinked as she eyed the mark on his head. "What did you do?" She hadn't seen anything...
Lelouch smiled as he disappeared from sight, reappearing in front of Aizawa as he once again fiddled with time.
He was fairly certain his sister was going to be annoyed with him.
Aizawa simply narrowed his eyes before telling him to get on with it, the gleam in his eyes present. Evidently he was looking forward to seeing him flail about helplessly.
Lelouch shrugged before activating Cornelias quirk, limiting it to his feet in order to help speed up it's cloaking. It generally took him a while, depending on his current mindset, before the entire thing would cover his body while said sister could do it in a matter of seconds. However, limiting it atleast generally sped it along.
Aiazawa tensed as he watched the shadow on the ground quickly latch up onto the students shoes, covering him up to his knees in some sort of dark liquid? Armor? The entire thing dark as a shadow.
His sister liked to call it Avalon. He liked to call it Newton's Nightmare.
Whenever any contact is made between the 'armour' and anything else, from the ground itself to the particles in the air, came to a standstill. The armour prevented any and all force from passing. Acting as a sort of dampener. Not even light-speed projectiles could cut through. They'd certainly tested it. The only issue was, prolonged exposure tended to make a person go insane.
The way it worked was rather simple, any time any force of any kind came into contact, the dampener would raise it's own force to equalise it in a matter of moments. Which meant one thing, it generated force rather quickly.
Which is where his plan came in.
"What..." Aizawa had been about to question, his glare hardening when Lelouch raised a finger to his lips.
"Ask the principal, it's a bit of a secret," He simply stated, somewhat relieved to see the glare lessen.
Now one might wonder how that would help. Simple. All he needed to do was use Schniezal's quirk to stop the armours limiter from working.
It's not like his father would complain about using it to prove himself his class's betters.
He bent his legs, activated Schniezals quirk in his right eye and jumped. Aizawa's eye twitching when he reached barely half a meter off the ground, having expected something else. Until he landed back on both feet before rocketing off the ground, leaving a crack in the process.
...
"Who the fuck are you!?" Bakugou growled, practical murder in his eyes as he watched the foreign bastard land. Though even he couldn't deny the shake in his hand.
A few feet behind, Todoroki glared at his classmate, whiffs of fire letting loose from his side, the ice barely managing to balance it out as he seethed.
...
A/N: There's going to be one more part coming out for this.
I would like to also mention that almost every geass follows the major rule that if you can't make visual/eye contact with something, the geass won't effect it (In Lelouch's case his own simply needs him to see them, if there's no visual on his opponent, Ie invisibility, then there's no visual on their after image.)
Except Nunnanlly, and the emperors on account that it's a blood mutation. Hers (Lelouch's use is minor when compared) on the other hand is just simply put broken beyond belief. It's actually a good thing she's got the personality she does.
