Anyway, I don't own Code Geass or any of the characters just the OC.
3. The False Classmate
It begins with a view of the decimated Shinjuku Ghetto. Two unknown soldiers are heard voicing their confusion and concern over the ceasefire order, that was previously issued by Clovis.
"Why the hell are we letting the Elevens go? What about the poison gas they've stolen?" One of the soldiers asks.
"But it's by order of Prince Clovis." Another soldier answers him.
"What about Bartley? Get the general staff on the line." He asks again.
"They're not at their posts, sir," he tells him.
"Are you telling me Prince Clovis is alone on the con?" They realize as Kallen, Ohgi, and many others are seen being lead out of the battle zone.
(Inside The G-1 Bridge)
The scene then changes to show Lelouch holding a gun to Clovis. Clovis speaks as if he is happy. "I'm overjoyed, Lelouch. They said you died when Japan was brought into the fold. What a blessing to have you back. We should depart for the homeland immediately."
This is not an option for Lelouch. "So you can use me as a tool of diplomacy? It seems you've forgotten why we were used as tools in the first place. That's right. It was because my mother was killed."
(Flashback: 10 Years ago In Aries Villa)
Lelouch then begins to explain the events of his mother's death. A flashback is shown of the day his mother died. "Mother held the title of knight of honour but was a commoner by birth. No doubt the other imperial consorts held her in contempt. Even though you made it look like the work of terrorists, I'm no fool. You people killed my mother." Lelouch's mother is killed by being shot by a large number of bullets that were fired from the window, she is shown as a bleeding corpse laying on stairs while on top of Nunnally, who is looking horrified witnessing the tragedy.
(Inside The G-1 Bridge)
Back in the G-1, Clovis frantically denies that he had any involvement in the matter. "It wasn't me. I swear to you it wasn't."
"Then tell me everything you know. The truth cannot be hidden from me any longer. Answer my questions honestly." Lelouch said then using his Geass to force Clovis to tell him the truth.
Clovis now under the control of Geass calms down. "Yes, go on ahead." He said quietly.
"Clovis, did you kill my mother? and if not then who did?" Lelouch asks him.
"No, I had nothing to do with her murder, however my brother second prince Schneizel and second princess Cornelia, they can tell you," Clovis said.
Lelouch was surprised at that "They were at the heart of this?" Lelouch asks.
Clovis opens his mouth but says nothing showing he doesn't know. "That's all that you know, isn't it?" Lelouch says.
"Okay then, Clovis why did you order the destruction of this ghetto?" Lelouch asks.
"I wanted to retrieve the capsule that the terrorists stole," Clovis said answering him.
"You said it was poison gas, what was really inside of it?" Lelouch questions.
"I was a girl I and my scientists were experimenting on, I was planing the present her to the Emperor," Clovis tells him.
Lelouch is surprised by that. "Human experimentation? I get it now you knew you would be disinherited if anyone found out what you were involved in, so you destroyed everyone in the ghetto afraid someone there would find her," Lelouch deduces. "But why go so far? and why present her to the Emperor? What's so special about her? Lelouch continued to ask him.
"It's because she is eternally young and immortal," Clovis answers shocking Lelouch completely.
"What?! But that's not possible, How?" Lelouch asks, demanding to know.
Clovis once again says nothing.
Lelouch glares at him. "Tch... Of course, you don't know that either, still you've given me something to think about." Lelouch said putting aside his shock for now.
"On to my other question, What was that Knightmare that appeared near the end of the battle?" Lelouch asks.
"It was a seventh-generation Knightmare called the Lancelot, and it was built by Schneizel's research team Camelot," Clovis said.
"Schneizel's? Of course, he would have something like a seventh generation Knightmare like that, I need a plan for getting rid of it soon." Lelouch said.
"Alright, that enough," Lelouch said as Clovis was freed from the Geass.
"I swear it wasn't me. I had nothing to do with it." Clovis pleaded now released from the Geass.
Lelouch pulls his gun away from Clovis. "I believe you." Lelouch then once again aims his gun at Clovis' forehead and prepares to shot. "However—"
Clovis tries pleading once more "Please, you can't! We may have different mothers but you and I are still blood."
"You can't change the world without getting your hands dirty," Lelouch said and pulls the trigger.
(Later That Evening Outside Of Ashford)
That evening Lelouch and Logan were just outside of Ashford Academy talking about today's events.
"I'm glad we escaped, but that was close, I didn't think we'd have such a fight on our hands back there," Logan said.
"You were still reckless back there, what were you thinking challenging a Seventh generation Knightmare with a Sutherland." Lelouch reprimands him.
"I— Wait, seventh-generation Knightmare? That's right, did you get the information from Clovis?" Logan asks.
"Unfortunately Clovis didn't know who killed my mother, but he pointed me in the direction of Cornelia and Schneizel," Lelouch said.
"Wait, Cornelia and Schneizel! Isn't Cornelia one of Britannia's strongest warriors and called the goddess of victory for being undefeated, and Schneizel being Britannia's prime minister and their best war commander against the EU." Logan said surprised.
Lelouch nods "That's right, out of all my siblings they're the most dangerous, also Clovis said that Knightmare was a seventh-generation called the Lancelot, and it was built by Schneizel's research team Camelot." Lelouch tells him.
"Sigh... Looks like finding the truth will be harder than you thought." Logan said.
"It's fine, We were always going to face them eventually, it'll just be sooner than we planned," Lelouch said not looking worried.
"Well, I guess that's true," Logan said before asking. "Oh yeah, What about the girl? Did you find out about her?" Logan asks.
"Yeah, but I'll explain that one later, It's really big and could take a while to explain so we shouldn't talk about it out here," Lelouch said.
"Oh yeah, guess your right about that." Logan agreed.
"One more thing, what happened to the Sutherland you were using?" Lelouch asks.
"I escaped with it without being seen and hid it in that empty warehouse at port Yokosuka as you said." Logan answers.
Lelouch seems happy about that. "Good it'll be useful in the future, now I need to get home, we were gone pretty late and I don't want Nunnally to get worried," Lelouch said.
"Yeah, I've got to get going too, let's talk more about this in the morning," Logan said as they begin parting ways for the night.
(The Next Day In The Ashford Student Council Room)
Lelouch is then found, with the other Student Council members, at school. "Wake up Lelouch!" Milly said as she smacks Lelouch over the head and orders him to wake up as he had apparently been napping. "I know you were sleeping. Your hands stopped moving."
"Well, you don't have to beat me up over it, do you?" Lelouch complained.
"Huh, serves you right for ditching me like that," Rivalz said with a grin.
"That's right. What was up with you yesterday?" Shirley asked glaring at Lelouch.
"Um well..." Lelouch said trying to avoid answering
"That's enough, you guys," Milly said as she hit the roll of paper on the table. "Let's not get sidetracked here. If we don't come up with a fix for the club activities budget, there won't be money left for anything at all." Milly explained.
"And if it comes to that point..." Nina said.
"The equestrian club will be pissed." Rivalz said in a laid back tone, "We don't want 'em comin' in here on horseback."
"Rivalz, can't you be a more serious student council member?" Milly said not liking Rivalz laid back attitude.
"You know, it would have been nice of you if you would have reminded us about this mess a day ago." Shirley pointed out.
"I would have to say a day later. Then we would have given up." Rivalz said.
"Good idea. We can still do that." Lelouch suggests.
"GUTS!" Milly shouted.
This surprised the others in the Student Council when Milly suddenly screamed and they cringed a bit.
"Are you trying that 'guts' spell again?" Rivalz asked.
"Yeah," Milly said with a smile. "I want you people to start putting your all into this."
"I really don't think that your magic's gonna do a whole lot," Lelouch said.
Shirley, on the other hand, felt motivated and smiled.
"Actually it's got me going, Madam President," Shirley said.
"Supple and willing," Milly commented. "That's what I like."
"I train hard in the gymnastics club," Shirley said proudly.
"That's not what I was getting at. You're a ten," Milly said.
"Huh?" Shirley said now noticing that Milly was staring at her chest.
"From what I've seen in the girls' bathroom anyway," Milly continued. "You've been filling out in all the right places, huh."
"Heh, heh," Rivalz spoke also looking at Shirley's chest.
Shirley was appalled and covered her chest, blushing. "What, what are you talking about, you perv?"
(In The Hallway)
The meeting for the student council was soon over and its members were now heading to class.
"Geez, our president's just a dirty old man on the inside," Shirley complained. "Sullying the meeting with her filthy mind."
"Yeah well, that's Milly for you," Nina said.
Rivalz said as well "Look on the bright side. We got the budget balanced, didn't we?"
As they entered the classroom, they noticed some of their classmates were watching something regarding Shinjuku.
"They used poison gas?" A male student said.
"Man, that's freaky." A second male student said. "Shinjuku's only thirty minutes from here."
"Oh my god! I saw smoke rising over in Shinjuku," A female student said. "It must have been the gas."
Lelouch frowned.
"Are they saying anything else about it?" Another male student said.
Logan also walked into class and looked at what was going on. He then heard what the students looking at the victims from Shinjuku and glared.
"poison gas? Are they blind or do they just not see the bullet wounds on the corpse, those idiots don't know anything?" Logan thought annoyed by their behaviour.
"Oh hey, Logan! Over here." Rivalz said noticing him.
Nina, Shirley and Lelouch all saw him and greeted him with a smile.
"Logan where were you? You missed another meeting. You're a member of the Student Council to remember, take this more seriously." Shirley said disapproving of his absents.
"Yeah well, unlike you guys I don't really care about that stuff, the only reason I joined the Council was so I wouldn't have to join a club," Logan said with a shrug.
They then turn back to looking at the footage of Shinjuku.
"Shinjuku?" Shirley said.
"I heard about it in real-time from a friend. That's why I called you yesterday." Lelouch said.
"Hey, check out the footage of those dead Elevens." A male student said.
"Oh! Don't look at that!" A female student said feeling disgusted.
"This is strange. Why would they cover it up?" Lelouch wondered before thinking back to the moment he killed Clovis and nearly started to throw up. "Ugh—"
(In The Bathroom)
Lelouch is in the school bathroom was vomiting, he just threw up in the sink, while Logan is standing at his side.
"Are they hiding Clovis's death to fend off anarchy? But if that's the case, when they finally do announce it..."Lelouch thought to himself as he looks at himself in the mirror and is amused. "Humph, I guess that I'm not as tough as I thought I was," Lelouch said to himself.
"You okay now?" Logan asked him.
"Yeah, I'll get over it soon enough," Lelouch tells him.
"They haven't said anything about Clovis yet, How long will it be before they do?" Logan asks.
"Probably a few more days, it'll probably result in a grab for power between the government and the military," Lelouch answered as they began to leave.
(Inside A Car)
Villetta and Jeremiah are then seen together in a car talking about how the killer of Clovis was able to penetrate their security
"That ex-civil servant is such a fool," Jeremiah said.
"So are you referring to Bartley?" Villeta said.
"The killer has breached our heaviest security twice already. This perfunctory inspection is a farce." Jeremiah said.
"Margrave Jeremiah, now that Prince Clovis is out of the way, we purebloods can..." Villeta is stopped from speaking further as Jeremiah places his finger on her lip.
"Let me make that call. We still need to woo everyone over." Jeremiah tells her.
(Ashford Academy)
Back at school, Lelouch and Logan walk to class while discussing something.
"How's the status on the Knightmare?" Lelouch asks Logan.
"We have enough funding for it thanks to all the money we got from gambling, and according to Rakshata it should be ready in less than a week," Logan told him.
"Good, we'll be needing now more than ever, especially if we want to beat that Lancelot," Lelouch said seriously.
They both walked into a classroom just to find that Kallen has returned to school after having supposedly been very ill and unable to attend.
"Kallen! It's been ages!" One of her friends said.
"Are you all right? Sophie's been worried sick all this time." A second one said.
"You're okay though, right?" Another friend said.
"Yeah, I just have to go easy for a little while," Kallen said.
At that moment Lelouch and Logan realize that Kallen is not just a fellow student but was the member of the terrorist group that they had seen the previous day although right now her hair was facing down and her personality was quieter.
"Of course. That's why she's so familiar." Lelouch thinks.
"I knew I'd seen her somewhere before." Logan also thinks.
Kallen is still talking to her friends. "Anyway, if I stay home any longer I'll never catch up."
Later after class. While their both glancing at Kallen, Rivalz notices then came over to talk to them. "What's up, buddy? See something you like? You've got a thing for her, don't ya!" Rivalz said to Lelouch gleefully.
"Just thinking this a rare event. She hasn't been here at school since this whole term started." Lelouch said.
"Kallen Stadtfeld. They say she's sick or somethin', and she barely showed up at school last year either. Still, her grades are at the top of the class. And she's a member of the Stadtfeld family, which means she's well-bred and rolling in money. Man, you sure know how to pick 'em." Rivalz said explaining Kallen's background.
"It's not like that." Lelouch insists.
"Aah, you don't have to hide it. A touch too sheltered though, if you ask me." Rivalz said.
"Rivalz even if that's true, I don't think you're in a position to be picky," Logan tells him.
"Hey! what that supposed to mean?" Rivalz said feeling insulted.
(Outside)
Later, Kallen, as well as three other girls, are having lunch outside when a bee shows up and causes them all to run away in fear.
"Aaaaah! There's a bee! A bee!"
"Oh my God. Kallen, run!"
"Hurry up and run!"
Kallen then runs behind a bush. "I don't get it, why is a bee after me? Hm? I wonder if there's a hive nearby..." Kallen then uses a surprising amount of agility to kill the bee with a single swipe.
"God, I hate this! I'm sick of acting like a freakin' invalid!" Kallen said in her real voice. At that moment Lelouch shows up.
"Crap, he saw me..."Kallen thought
"There's no question, it's her." Lelouch thought as he looked at her.
"Can I help you or something?" Kallen asks him.
Lelouch uses his Geass "I want answers."
Kallen under the control of his Geass answers "Of course."
Lelouch begins questioning her "Were you the one piloting the Glasgow in Shinjuku?" he asked.
"Yes," Kallen answered.
"Why terrorism?" Lelouch asks.
"Because I'm Japanese. Though technically I'm half Britannian." She said.
Lelouch is surprised by Kallen answer. 'Half-blood? But why go so far?'
Meanwhile, Shirley was walking through the hallway on the second floor and then looked out the window to see Lelouch and Kallen talking to each other.
"That's..." She spoke.
Back with Kallen and Lelouch, the Geass stops affecting Kallen. "Um, did you want something?" Kallen asks him.
"No. I got what I wanted here." Lelouch said as he starts walking away but then stops. "Oh, wait. Just to be sure. Don't tell anyone about Shinjuku." Lelouch turned back and tried using his Geass again.
But this time it doesn't work on Kallen "What do you mean, about Shinjuku? Why would you say that?" Kallen asks now feeling suspicious.
Lelouch is shocked that that Geass didn't work and tries again. "Go back to class." He orders.
"As soon as I get an answer to my question, I will," Kallen said still not affected by the Geass.
Lelouch is now confused "It's not working? What's going on here?" he wonders.
"Hey, Lulu!" Shirley called out suddenly.
Lelouch and Kallen were surprised, and they looked up to see Kallen waving at them.
"Kallen! You know, it's time to head over to the chem lab! You'd better get a move on!" Shirley said.
Lelouch uses this as an excuse to get away "Oh crap, it's my turn to set up for class!" Lelouch said before running off. "It didn't work? But..." Lelouch thinks while running.
(The Student Council Building)
That night, Nunnally and a young boy with light brown hair, who was the same age as Nunnally, along with a maid named Sayoko are passing time waiting for Lelouch and Logan to return by folding paper cranes.
"Well, what shall we do? He may be late again this evening." Sayoko said.
"I'll wait. He said that we'd have dinner together tonight. Beside Rolo is here is with so it's okay." Nunnally said while folding a paper crane.
"Thank you for saying so Nunnally," Rolo said still trying to fold a paper crane. "Grrr... I just can't seem to get it right." He said unable to fold it properly.
Sayoko smiled. "You'll get it soon, There now. This one's finished." She said putting it down next to Nunnally.
"Ah, a bird?" Nunnally says while holding it.
Sayoko nods. "Yes, it's a crane," Sayoko tells her.
"Amazing! The Japanese are so skilful." Nunnally said impressed.
"Yes, they really are," Rolo said agreeing with Nunnally.
At that moment both Lelouch and Logan walk into the room.
"I'm sorry I'm so late," Lelouch said.
Nunnally is happy at his return "Hi, Lelouch! Welcome home." Nunnally said to him.
Rolo gets up and walks over to them "Lelouch, big brother, Welcome back, both of you." Rolo said smiling.
"Logan? You're also here." Nunnally said.
"Yeah, hey Rolo sorry we're a little late," Logan said to Rolo.
"No, it's okay, after all, you're here now," Rolo tells him.
Sayoko also welcomes them "Yes, welcome home, my lord, and master Logan it's good to see you." Sayoko greeted while bowing.
"No place like it, Sayoko. Right, Nunnally?" Lelouch said.
"Well, we better get going, come on Rolo let's head home," Logan said getting ready to leave.
"Yeah okay, bye everyone," Rolo said before following Logan. But before they can leave Lelouch stops them.
"Wait, before you go at least stay for dinner." Lelouch offers them.
They both stop at that, Nunnally also offers "Yes please stay until then, I'd like for you two to join us."
They both smile and turn back. "Okay, that sounds pretty good," Logan said.
(In A Britannian Lab)
The scene then changes to show Bartley disbanding a research division and moving it to Narita because it was partly his fault that Clovis was left alone and they do not want to be discovered by the emperor.
"As you know full well, the project was a complete failure. Therefore this research division is being gutted." Bartley said.
"Wha...? Yes, but—!" The researchers were shocked to hear Bartley's news.
Bartley continued. "I've set up a place in Narita for you. Move everything out there. While we may have no memory of it, the fact is the other staff officers and I left Prince Clovis on his own. I'm gonna be called out on the carpet for this back at home. When that happens, if His Majesty learns this experiment's got on without his knowledge, I..."
In the background can be seen the same types of containers that held C.C captive in the previous chapter.
"Understood, sir. We'll start prepping immediately." One of the staff said.
(Lelouch and Nunnally's House)
It then goes back to the home of Lelouch as he, Logan, Rolo, and Nunnally are having dinner.
"Miss Sayoko was just teaching me about the art of origami. Fold a piece of paper the correct way, you can make birds, boats, almost anything." Nunnally tells him then accidentally spills some of her soup.
Lelouch sees that and wipes it clean. "Easy there. You don't have to tell me everything all at once, you know? It's not like I'm going anywhere." Lelouch tells her.
"Yeah, you're right. Thank you." Nunnally said.
"You're very welcome," Lelouch said.
Logan watched them and smiled. "Nunnally, you seem happy tonight," Logan said.
"Yes you're right, I'm so happy, 'cause last night you scared me a little Lelouch."
Lelouch slightly looks while answering "Did I? Sorry. I just have a lot on my mind, is all." Nunnally then holds up one of the paper cranes she made.
"Hey, they say, if you fold a thousand of these cranes, your wish'll come true. So if there's anything at all that you've been wishing for?" She asked Lelouch.
"No, not really. What about you? Do you wish for anything?" Lelouch asks her.
Nunnally thinks for a moment and then answers. "I wish the world was a gentler place," Nunnally said.
"That sounds like the kind of wish you'd make Nunnally," Rolo said.
"Yeah but don't worry, that wish'll come true soon enough," Logan tells her.
Lelouch holds her hand. "That right Nunnally. When the day finally comes that you can see again, I'm sure that it will be." Lelouch assures her.
"Really?" Nunnally asks them.
"I promise," Lelouch said.
"Yeah, we promise too," Logan said and Rolo nods.
"The truth is there are very few paths our future can take. The Ashford family is sheltering us for now, but how long can that last? If our identity is exposed, even Rival, Shirley, and the others will abandon us. We'll end up as political tools, or casualty of royal ambition. I have to build a world where Nunnally can at least find happiness." Lelouch thinks then looks at Logan and Rolo.
"I'm lucky enough to have them helping me, Logan's been my best friend ever since we were kids. He was the son of a high ranked member of the EU's supreme council who came to Japan. He came to discuss the sakuradite mining rights with Japan's government. The EU wanted to get their hands on sakuradite just like Britannia, but they wanted to do with politics rather than war. He arrived there shortly after I did and while he was there we became friends along with Suzaku. But when Britannia invaded Japan Logan's father was killed in the crossfire leaving him orphaned and stranded in Japan." Lelouch thought then looks at Rolo.
"Then there's Rolo. After Japan fell me and Nunnally were forced to relocate separating us from Suzaku and Logan. But two years later we meet Logan again, but he had a young boy with him who was the same age as Nunnally, that was Rolo. Logan said he was a Britannian war orphan who was living in Japan with his parents, but they lost their lives because of the war. Logan felt pity for him and knew he wouldn't survive on his own so he took him with him and made him his brother. I was surprised at first but I didn't mind, I can tell Logan care's about him as much as I do Nunnally, not to mention he and Nunnally quickly became good friends. Rolo isn't very social and he usually quiet, he doesn't talk to anyone besides those on the student council, but I trust him." Lelouch thought.
Nunnally then holds up her pinky "Sayoko taught me this the other day. It's called a Japanese promise." She and Lelouch then make a pinky promise. "Cross my heart, hope to die, eat a thousand needles if I lie. Pinky promise song." Nunnally sings.
"Well, that's scary. I may have to eat a thousand needles someday." Lelouch joked.
"That's right. So I'd better not catch you telling lies, okay?" Nunnally said.
"Don't you worry, I'll never lie, I swear." Lelouch said aloud then thought. "Not to you anyway."
Later after they were finished with Lelouch walks over to Logan "Logan, come with me." Lelouch said.
"Sure let's go, Rolo you came too," Logan said
Rolo gets up and the three of them walk outside.
(Outside The Building)
The three of them were now outside the house and Lelouch and Logan explained the events of Shinjuku.
"You killed prince Clovis?" Rolo said surprised at what he was just told.
"That's right, I wanted you to know because I didn't want to have to keep you in the dark about this," Logan tells him.
"But does this mean you've started to make your move? You've begun your battle against Britannia?" Rolo asked Lelouch.
"Yes, our battle has already begun, and I want you to join us Rolo," Lelouch said.
"Yes I understand, I said I would when you first told me about it, and that hasn't changed," Rolo said resolved.
"That's good even though it's a lot sooner than we planned, we're still going to win, we'll defeat Britannia," Logan said.
(Ashford Academy Main Campus)
The following day, Lelouch stands by a river with Logan and decides that he must learn all the ins and outs of his newfound power.
"Your power didn't work on Kallen?" Logan asked.
"No that's not it," Lelouch tells him. "It's more like, it worked the first time I used it but not the second." He said.
"Then did you somehow lose it?" Logan question.
"I don't know yet, but I'll have to test it, after all, This is the only weapon I have. And I don't even know how to use it." Lelouch said.
They then see a teacher walking up to them. Logan then makes a suggestion. "Try using it on him." Lelouch nods.
The teacher stops as he talks to them "Lelouch! Logan! Class will be starting in a minute, you know." He said.
"Oh, yes sir." Lelouch then uses his Geass "Um, sir? What are the topics going to be for the essays on your next exam?"
The teacher is then under the Geass' control "The humiliation of Edinborough, the transfer of the capital, and north and south war topics." The teacher answers.
Lelouch then thinks "So, I haven't lost the power, then.' Lelouch tries using his Geass again. "Sir? What exactly are the topics going to be for the essays on your next exam?"
This time it doesn't work. "Right, very funny. Maybe you should try studying, huh? Just apply yourself, you'll do fine." He said walking away.
"Yes, sir!" Lelouch then thinks "As I suspected, I can only use it on a person once."
Logan also thinks "A power with a limit like that can make things harder, Lelouch'll have to be smart on who he uses it on."
(On The School Roof)
Kallen is then seen talking to Ohgi about the annoyances of high school.
"So, how's campus life treating you?" Ohgi asks over the phone.
"Stifling. I was stuck in history class yesterday. Look, maybe I should just head back." Kallen said.
Ohgi urges her to stay in school while things cool off for them. "The army's on a high alert right now. Stay there, and let things cool off."
"I don't know. What about the voice on the radio?" Kallen suggests.
"Can't go looking for a voice. Besides, Naoto would be happy to see you back in school. Forget about Shinjuku for now. I'll be in touch." Ohgi tells her.
"Shinjuku...I guess he's right, but..." Kallen then thought back to what Lelouch said yesterday.
(Flashback)
"Don't tell anyone about Shinjuku."
(Flashback End)
"No, it couldn't have been his voice." Kallen thought.
(Classroom)
In class, Lelouch is answering a question a teacher asked him. "The aristocracy was highly educated, with such an emphasis on edification and training, they produced a superior breed of ruler. And secondly, they possessed heightened efficiency, since only a small number of the very best were carefully chosen from their ranks..."
Kallen is looking at him still thinking about the voice. "It could be...no, I can't remember well enough to be sure."
Lelouch is also looking at Kallen worried she's on to him 'All I did was simply mention Shinjuku, but...'
"If he knows who I really am, then..." Kallen thought.
"At the first opportunity..." Lelouch thought.
"I need to take care of him."Kallen and Lelouch grow concerned that the other might know their true identity and decide to do something about it.
(Elsewhere In The Tokyo Settlement)
It then shifts to Bartley who was in a transport car next to the coffin of Clovis, surrounded by Sutherlands heading towards their destination.
"And the research center?" Bartley said on the phone.
"Transferred to Narita last night." Said the person on the other line.
"Right then," Bartley said then hangs up and looks at the coffin in sorrow. "I pray you forgive me, Your Highness."
(Ashford Academy Classroom)
After class Lelouch puts his books in his bag and gets up from his seat. Shirley approaches him.
"Hey Lulu, you coming along?" She asks.
Lelouch walks past her "Sorry, maybe some other time."
Kallen is once again surrounded by Students.
"Yeah, I thought so."
"You've gotta go straight home then, huh?"
"What do you have, a curfew ?"
Lelouch then approaches Kallen and stops in front of her desk.
"What's up?" One of them asks Lelouch.
"You think that you could spare a minute? I need to talk to you." Lelouch asks her.
Kallen gets up. "Sure. I was wondering when you were gonna ask." Kallen said much to Shirley's dismay.
(Elsewhere In The Tokyo Settlement)
It then shifts to a view of Bartley next to the coffin of Prince Clovis. Jeremiah and a few other Knightmares attack the hearse and force Bartley to leave.
"I hope you can see how determined we are now." Jeremiah said.
"But I've already told you!" Bartley said.
"That you don't remember? Still clinging to that ridiculous excuse?" Jeremiah said not believing him.
"Just ask the others! They'll testify that... !" Bartley said desperately.
"Ducking the blame? You're pathetic! You shan't remain at His Royal Highness' side another minute!" Jeremiah said.
(Back At Ashford)
Lelouch and Kallen enter the student council's ballroom so they can talk.
"I didn't even know this room existed," Kallen said.
"It's the clubhouse for the student council. They built as a ballroom for various special occasions." Lelouch said.
"And we won't be disturbed inside here?" Kallen asked.
"Yes, that's correct," Lelouch said.
Before they could talk the other student council members interrupt them.
"Here it is! I found it! Look! This is it, right?" Shirley's voice suddenly said.
Lelouch and Kallen look up to see the student council members on the upper floor.
"What a relief you found our lab data." Nina said.
"Good. My ass is killing me." Rivalz said getting up from the floor.
Milly then enters the room wearing an apron wheeling in a serving tray of food.
"Were you able to find it?" Milly asked. "I finished up on my end, shall we dig in?"
Lelouch and Kallen looked stunned not knowing what's going on.
"Wow!" Rivalz said liking what he was seeing.
"Way to go, Milly!" Shirley said happily.
Milly put the plates of food on the table.
"You adore me, I know," Milly said with glee.
"Um, what is all of this?" Lelouch asked.
"Lelouch, don't you know?" Milly asked looking at Lelouch. "I thought that's why you brought her. We're inducting Kallen into the student council. It was my grandfather's idea, actually."
"The principal's?" Lelouch replied confused.
"He thought it best, with her poor health she'd have a harder time with regular club activities." Milly explained then went to introduce herself. "Oh, I'm Milly, the president of the council. Pleasure to meet you."
"Oh, thank you, the pleasure's all mine," Kallen replied with a nod.
The other members of the council rushed to greet Kallen as well.
"I'm Rivalz Cardemonde," Rivalz introduced himself. "I'm the secretary if there's anything you need help I'm your man."
"I'm Shirley Fenette." Shirley also introduced herself. "I'm also part of the swim club, welcome."
Nina fidgeted and was also a bit nervous. "Hi there, I'm Nina Einstein."
"It's nice to meet all of you," Kallen said.
"Hey, guys! Don't forget us." Logan said as he, Nunnally and Rolo entered the room.
"Shirley, I'm sorry but, do you think you could set these on the table for me?" Nunnally asked Shirley while holding a plate of food.
"Oh, sure, thanks, Nunna," Shirley said going over to help.
"Nunnally, what're you doing here?" Lelouch asked her.
"Don't worry about it Lelouch, she just wanted to be here to welcome Kallen," He said before going over to greet her. "Hi, I'm Logan Raymond and this is my younger brother, Rolo." He said pointing to Rolo.
"It's nice to meet you." Rolo greeted.
"And this girl is Lelouch's sister," Milly said looking at Nunnally.
"We're still in the middle school group, so me and Rolo can't be on the council yet. Nunnally said.
"That's alright. Your honorary members in our book." Rivalz said.
Nunnally then goes to greet Kallen as well. "Hello there, it's a pleasure to meet you, Kallen."
"Thank you. You as well." Kallen said with a smile.
"Right. Shall we kick this off with a toast?" Rivalz said wanting to welcome Kallen as a new member of the student council. Rivalz brings a bottle of champagne.
"Champagne?" Shirley said.
"Yeah, but we're on the student council, we shouldn't..." Nina said nervously.
"Uh, come on! Just relax. Loosen up, you guys! It's sparkling cider." Rivalz said trying to open it.
"No way. We're gonna get in trouble! I swear? Let me see that bottle." Shirley tries to stop him.
"What's going on?" Nunnally asks unable to see.
"Don't worry, it's nothing bad." Rolo tells her.
"Here, Nunnally." Milly said handing her a glass of juice.
"Lelouch! Heads up!" Rivalz tosses it to Lelouch
"Ah...Ah...You aren't getting away with it either, Lulu... C'mon, Lulu! Let me see that bottle!" Shirley was now trying to take the bottle from Lelouch.
Due to all the jostling, the cork popped and flew towards Kallen but she swats it away, however, the champagne shoots out of the bottle and sprays all over Kallen.
"What just happened?" Nunnally asks again.
Later, in the Laundry room, Kallen's clothes were being washed in a washing machine and Milly and Shirley were waiting for it to be finished.
"We have clothes for her?" Milly asked.
"Sayoko's on it," Shirley told her.
(Shower Room)
Meanwhile, Kallen is taking a shower.
"This is why I hate Britanians," Kallen said.
Soon there is a knock on the door "It's me, Logan. I've brought you a change of clothes." Logan said on the other side of the door.
"You can come in." Kallen said. "I've drawn the curtain already."
"Sorry about what happened," Logan said entering the bathroom. "The others can get a little carried away sometimes."
"That's okay." Kallen replied. "Nothing wrong with cutting loose every once in a while, you know?"
"These are some of Lelouch's clothes." Logan told her sating the clothes in the basket. "Hope you don't mind."
"It's cool. Don't worry about it. That was fast. You went all the way to the boy's dorm?" Kallen said.
"Actually, Lelouch lives here. It'd be pretty hard for his sister to live off in the dorms. The principal of the school lets them stay here as a favour." Logan tells her.
"I see..." Kallen said.
Logan then starts to leave. "Well, I'll leave you to it..."
"Hey, wait! Can you hand me that pouch over there?" Kallen said pointing to the one near the basket.
Logan looked confused at that request "Why do you need it?"
"It's just for a second," Kallen said. "I was hoping for Lelouch but this might work too." Kallen thought.
"Okay then." He hands her the pouch, but then she grabs his wrist and the pouch reveals a hidden knife.
Logan smiles and says "Well, your pretty fast for a sick girl aren't you."
Kallen then glares and question him. "Tell me what you know about Lelouch!"
Logan glares back "What are you talking about?" He questions.
"Don't play dumb." Kallen yells "He brought up Shinjuku the other day... Why?"
"And so what if he did? Do you have some problem wrong with Shinjuku?"
"Don't answer my question with a question!" Kallen said bringing her knife closer to his skin. "All I wanna hear out of you is the answer to my question."
"Hahaha..." Logan laughed surprising Kallen. "Oh, Kallen you seem to think I can't defend myself." He said.
Then quickly before Kallen could respond he uses his other arm to chop Kallen's forcing her to release her grip on him. Kallen then thrust her knife forward trying to stab him, but he jumps back dodging it. Kallen then gets out of the shower still naked and tries to stab him again, but Logan then ducks beneath her knife and gets behind her, then kicks her leg, causing her to fall on the floor. when she's on the floor Logan takes her knife and grabs her by the hair, quickly forcing her up and pinning her to the wall, using one hand to hold her by the neck and the other holding up her knife.
"Well, looks like the tables have turned," Logan said holding her in place.
"Kallen glares at him. "Why you—" Just at that moment the phone near the shower starts ringing.
"Hmm?" Logan looked surprised and put down the knife to answer the phone. "Hello, okay then." he then releases Kallen and handed her the phone. "It's for you. He says he knows you."
Kallen then takes the phone and answers "Hello?"
"Glad you still alive, Q1." The voice Lelouch used in Shinjuku was heard on the other line.
Kallen is shocked at hearing that voice 'Was I wrong?'
The voice continues "16:00, the day after tomorrow. The observation deck at Tokyo Tower. Come alone." He instructs her.
"Who are you? How did you arrange that cease-fire order?" Kallen tries asking but the phone hangs up. "Hey, don't hang up!"
"Did you say cease-fire? Sounds like you keep dangerous company." Logan says to her.
Kallen tries to think of an excuse "Oh, um, that was..."
"Let me guess... You're talking about a game? Something online?" Logan comes up with.
Kallen goes along with it. "Yeah, you got me. 'Cause, you know, I've been shut up in my house so long..."
"That's probably what Lelouch was warning you about when he told you not to bring up Shinjuku before. Seriously, some guys will try to show you footage of what happened that day and it's pretty damn grim." Logan said trying to convince her. "So anyway I won't tell anyone. You know about you not being sick and everything, Later." Logan said before walking out the door.
"I was wrong..." Kallen said before looking down at herself and finally realizing that she was completely naked throughout that entire exchange, causing her face to turn a deeper shade of red than her hair.
"KKKYYYYAAAA!" She screamed.
(In A Different Room)
It then shifts to show that Sayoko was the one that made the call using a voice recorder while under the influence of Geass.
(In The Hallway)
Later, Kallen now wearing Lelouch's casual clothes and Lelouch are walking together talking about the duties of the school council.
"The council doesn't require much actual work, I guess. Beyond occasional paperwork, we'll sometimes plan school events." Lelouch said.
"So you mean like the cultural festival?" Kallen replied.
"Yep, like that, along with the cross-dressers' ball, the absolute silence party and swimsuit day." Lelouch listed.
"What's up with that?" Kallen asked shocked.
"Blame our President. You'll be spending a lot of time with her. Hope you're ready." Lelouch said as they entered the main room to join the others.
"Lelouch, it's awful," Nunnally said upset.
"What is?" Lelouch asked.
"Prince Clovis has been found dead," Milly said in a grave tone.
"They're saying he was killed," Rivalz said.
'So they're finally making their move' Lelouch thought.
"Things are happening just like Lelouch said they would." Logan thought.
On TV Jeremiah and the Purist faction were making a statement "Prince Clovis has been taken from us. He fought for peace and justice against all of the Elevens. He died a martyr."
(Ohgi's base)
In the ghettos, Ohgi and his group also watched the broadcast.
"We must all bury our sorrow, and carry on his will." Jeremiah finished.
(Back At Ashford)
The female news anchor on TV then starts talking "We interrupt this broadcast with breaking news. The man suspected as the murderer has been to this report, the suspect is an honorary Britanian.
The news then shows footage of someone being taken into custody, Lelouch, Logan and Rolo are shocked at who they see being arrested.
"Private Suzaku Kururugi, a former Eleven and honorary Britanian. I repeat, Suzaku Kururugi arrested for murder."
"Suzaku?" Lelouch thought shocked.
"But, how?" Logan thought also shocked.
TO BE CONTINUED.
And that's the chapter, and now I'm sure most of you are wondering who about some of the changes I've made. Well, first of all, I told you Logan would change some of the events in the story, as for Rolo, personally unlike overs I never really hated him and I wanted him in my story for three reasons.
1) Because in the canon before it was released both Nunnally and Rolo were supposed to be Lelouch's sibling but they scrapped that idea and instead he appears in season 2, I decide to use the idea but instead make him the OC's brother. 2) I never liked how everyone just used him like a tool, and how he never had someone who truly loved him until he died and I thought he deserved happiness for a change 3) in Code Geass Hngyaku no Lelouch Kiseki no Birthday Picture Drama for those haven't watched it where all the character were together it showed that Rolo and Nunnally would get along great with each other under better circumstances so I had the idea of making them close friends.
As for the backstories. They were the best ones I could come up with that made the most sense, and I wanted Rolo to have the same personality as in the canon without his mind being twisted.
As for the scene with Kallen, I wanted to that Logan is physically strong and more skilled than Kallen is, and that was the only time where I could demonstrate it.
So see you next time, hope you enjoyed, and have an awesome day.
