I died... I died trying to make my empire and the people of Japan accept one another with my demise. As far as I can tell, I'm in the afterlife. I hope everyone I loved are doing fine: Suzaku, Kallen, Nunnally, and C.C. I don't know what's going to happen to me, but I shall see this through to the end.
"Lelouch..." a voice called for me.
"W-Who are you?" I asked, looking around in my surroundings.
"I will give you... a second chance."
Whoever is this is giving me a chance? I don't know what to say, but I hoped to see what is this about.
"I'm ready..." I replied.
"First, think of the people you want to have in this adventure; three people only."
That's easy enough for me. As I closed my eyes, I think of Suzaku, Jeremiah, and Sayoko to join in. Suzaku is my long-time friend and that could be another great opportunity for him to change the world for the better. Jeremiah has his loyalty toward my mother, so he should be a good pick; and lastly, Sayoko has been taking care of me and Nunnally for years so that's reasonable enough.
"Well then!" I exclaimed to the voice. "I pick Suzaku, Jeremiah, and Sayoko!"
"Good choices. Also, I will tell them everything what will be the situation and you have to fix it. Got it," it said.
"Yeah, you do that. I'm ready!"
"Sure you are."
"Also, you're going to be a founder of some group of outcasts."
As much as I'm surprised to hear this, I kept my mouth shut. I like to see what this voice is trying to make a point on me being a founder for an organization for outcasts.
As far as I remember, all I remembered was that some light flashed through me. When I opened my eyes, I'm back to the land of the living.
"Lelouch, wake up," a voiced called me and it was Suzaku.
"Suzaku?" I looked at my surroundings and we were in some stadium. Then, I turned to him. "Are you really here?"
"Yeah, I'm really here. Some mysterious being summoned me, Jeremiah, and Sayoko to join you in this quest to restore peace. We don't know what that is yet, but we accept your help," was all he could say.
We were in some stadium, and I caught sight of Ange. She's all grown up, and she's being accompanied by Momoka. How they've grown up, and I'm happy for them. It looks they were competing in some sport I heard as Iaria which is similar to that of Lacrosse, although a large difference is that it takes place in the air aboard vehicles in this time.
Wait...
That means in the universe where she lived. Interesting.
Anyway, the game is over and I saw Ange gives out encouraging words to the opposite team. How she said she'll be back after her Baptism Ritual. That's when I realized...
"Suzaku, that means tomorrow is her birthday. Her 16th birthday," I told my friend. "That means we'll be participating on the event in case something goes wrong. Understand?"
"Yes, Lelouch. I understand," he replied back.
"ANGELISE!" I screamed so loud she'll notice me.
"Lelouch? Lelouch, is that you?" my childhood friend asked.
"YES, IT'S ME!"
When we got out of the stadium, we hugged.
"Lelouch, it's been a while," Ange said.
"Yes, it's been a while, Ange," I added.
"So you still call me Ange, huh?"
"Well, your name is long."
"But I don't have any problem addressing you as Lelouch."
"Princess Angelise!" I saw Momoka called on her and she noticed me. "Lelouch, it's good to see you again."
"Same here, Momoka," I pat her in the head before noticing Sylvia.
"Hi there," she said with a smile.
"It's nice to meet you," a tall blond man greeted me, but I looked at him with disdain.
"Who's that?" I asked Ange.
"That's Julio," she replied.
Julio... He is the spitting image of my half-brother Clovis. I swear if he tries to do anything bad to Ange, I'll...
"I see. We'll be going now," I leave with Suzaku before I muttered to myself about that Julio character. "Julio. He looks like Clovis, and if he tries to make one false move, I swear I'll..."
