AN: We did it, we've reached the end. All is coming out as planned. Everything is finally reaching a close. Now let's read this finale and close this book.
Code Geass: Black-Blooded Orphans
Last Stage: Checkmate
Tokyo Settlement
The Settlement had been ravaged by the brave and noble charge of the Black Knights. They have already taken mostly the entire Settlement outside the Government Bureau. The Britannian Forces are now forced to stand their ground. If The Black Knights take the Bureau, not only will Japan be free, the Britannians will have lost their 'invincibility'. If Britannians hold out, the Black Knights might get tired. Both sides were losing their edge, it was only a matter of time till one or the other drops out.
(Play Gundam IBO - Battle for Death)
The Ganymede and the Tyrant were battling each other. The Ganymede was moving fast, so was the Tyrant. The two clashed endlessly. Both combatants didn't care about the consequences. It was now a fight to the death. The Tyrant pulled out its shoulder guns and fired at the Ganymede. 4 Harkens came out of the Ganymede's back. The Ganymede was attacking ferociously. The Ganymede brought its swords out and slashed away at the Tyrant. The Tyrant brought its axe to bear and clashed. The fight was approaching the Academy.
'Is this all you got, Ganymede? Mother? Nemo?' Nunnally thought, 'I'll use you all up, so give me your best.'
Ashford Academy
The fight got dragged to the school grounds.
"Holy crap! Nunnally, hang on, were—"
"Don't. You'll get in the way." Nunnally said.
"Eh?!" Rivalz said.
"Why won't you just die?!" Guilford roared.
"I'm asking you the same thing." Nunnally said, "Why don't you drop dead?"
Guilford only got angrier. The two combatants distanced themselves from the school. The Tyrant fired a harken. The harken knocked the sword out of its hand. The Ganymede throws its last sword into the Tyrant. The sword hits the waist. The Tyrant took the sword out. The Ganymede charged with its guns out and fired a hell ton of beams at the Tyrant. They were moving too fast for anyone to track.
"I can't keep up with them, they're just too fast." Rivalz said.
"Unbelievable…." Milly said.
"Go on Nunnally! Give it to 'em!" Kaguya said.
Avalon
Schneizel looked in awe as they fought.
'So this is the power that will bend the world forever…..' Schneizel thought.
Tokyo Settlement
Nunnally was no longer acting like a human….. no. She wasn't 'human' to begin with. It was as if she was actually an animal that barely even tried to act human. It's as if the Ganymede had turned into a beast, albeit a rabid one. The Ganymede got onto the Tyrant and fired at point-blank range to the Tyrant's face. The battle soon got dragged into the frontlines. Alfred managed to get out and watched the Tyrant and the Ganymede clash. Claudio too was watching.
'My god…. it's as if Lord Guilford has finally shed his own human skin….. or rather his human self. All that's left is a man that acts like an animal, and yet thinks like him.' Alfred thought.
'Just what the hell is this? Sorcery? Or is this humanity's evolutionary path now?' Claudio thought.
(Play Hajime no Ippo- The Finisher)
The Tyrant swung its axe at the Ganymede. The Ganymede kept firing until the guns overheated and exploded. The Ganymede charged in. Nemo's slash harkens attack the Tyrant. The Tyrant rips the harkens and crushed them. Guilford brought out a lance after he tosses the axe at the Ganymede. The Ganymede dodged the axe and the lance. The Tyrant thrusts its lance. It hits the Ganymede, it struck the left arm. The screens left of her shattered and bursted.
"That was close, you jerk!" Nunnally said as she broke free of the damaged arm.
The Ganymede gets knocked back. It gets knocked towards Todoh's Gekka. The Ganymede grabs the Brake Sword on Todoh's Gekka.
"You don't mind if I take this, right?" Nunnally asked.
'My God… she's serious about going on like this…..' Todoh thought.
The Ganymede takes the sword. The Ganymede activated its boosters and charged. The slash harkens propel it into the air. The Ganymede thrusts the sword into the Tyrant's right hand, severing it from its arm.
'This will do it. I just need to hit it at the moment it's wide open.' Nunnally thought.
"You-!" Guilford roared.
The Ganymede dodged the Tyrants other lance. The Tyrant thrusts its lance at the Ganymede again. It struck again, narrowly touching Nunnally's head. She was beginning to lose consciousness.
'Don't pass out! Keep your eyes open!' Nunnally thought as she grits her teeth, 'There it is! He's going to be wide open! His body is exposed! UTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!' Nunnally thought.
The Ganymede got free of the lance and charged again. The Tyrant thrusts its lance one more time.
'Go ahead, take a shot! If I managed to kill you despite the inevitable pain, then so be it!' Guilford thought.
A slash harken came out of nowhere and struck the lance out of the Tyrant's hand.
'A Slash Harken!?' Guilford thought.
The one who fired it was Jeremiah, his Siegfried recovered somehow. Guilford noticed that the Ganymede was still moving.
'She's still conscious?! For Cornelia-sama's justice, e-endure it!' Guilford thought as he grits his teeth.
The Ganymede thrusts the sword in. It pierced the cockpit, skewering Guilford. The Tyrant rips the sword out. Guilford was hurt bad, lots of blood was spewing out. The Ganymede's remaining right hand had… red on it.
"TH-That's blood!" Asahina said.
'My left arm is gone. So what?' Nunnally thought as the Ganymede prepares to shove its hand into the Tyrant, 'I still have a right!'
The Ganymede charged at the Tyrant head-on with its hand.
'Damn it, I feel like hell. I can't lose consciousness now dammit! Damn! Damn! Damn!' Guilford thought.
"Lord Guilford! Guard!" Alfred yelled.
The Tyrant tried to protect itself, the suddenly Ganymede vanished from view.
'Where is she?! Where in the hell is that bastard?!' Guilford thought.
The Ganymede was right below. He didn't see the Ganymede duck.
'From below!?' Guilford thought, "Damn you, Why in the hell won't you just die so that Darlton-nii and Cornelia-sama-!"
"Shut up!" Nunnally roared.
The hand dug deep into the Tyrant, skewering Guilford again. His eyes widened. His eyes suddenly lost light in them. He was utterly defeated… dead.
"I can't hear….. Oniisama….. If you keep talking…" Nunnally said, 'Thank you…. Everyone…..'
The Ganymede falls off. The Guren caught the Ganymede. Nunnally loses consciousness as the Ganymede shuts down.
'You were brave Nunnally. Just rest.' Kallen thought.
The Guren took the Ganymede to Ashford Academy. Everyone else got Nunnally to the infirmary. The rest of the Black Knights charged in. The Britannians were forced to withdraw into the interior of the Government Bureau. Schneizel quickly issued an evacuation order to get every soldier out of the battlefield. Everything was now changing in favor for the Black Knights.
Avalon
Cornelia woke from her coma. She was in the hospital wing of the ship. Euphemia was with her.
"What's….. going on?" Cornelia asked out of breathe.
"Nelly?" Euphie muttered.
"Euphie, what in the hell is going on? What happened while I was unconscious?" Cornelia asked.
Euphemia didn't want to tell her because if she did, her sister would react the same way as she did after what happened to Darlton and Guilford upon hearing that Guilford had now died in combat in Tokyo as he was supposedly reported to be dead at Narita. She had no choice but to tell her everything.
"So what's going on down there?" Cornelia asked.
"Well I just heard that Guilford…. He….. He's gone sister. He's gone for good." Euphie said as tears enveloped.
Cornelia soon entered a state of shock.
"You're…. kidding…. Right? It's all just a joke, right?" Cornelia asked, trying to deny the truth.
"I'm sorry Nelly. It's true…. If I hadn't… If only I wasn't so—"
"No. It's not your fault. I wouldn't blame you at all." Cornelia said, denying the truth even more.
Cornelia soon had tears flowing down her eyes. She soon began to cry in sorrow. The siblings hugged each other as they cried in sadness. Schneizel heard everything.
'Sorry Nelly, soon this will all pass. Once I reform Britannia into what Lelouch would want, one in which the strong protect the weak as the Black Knights have, you will no longer lose another loved one. But first, it's about time that our father will surrender the throne to a just leader whose righteousness will cleanse the world free of corruption and distortion between society and world peace.' Schneizel thought.
Tokyo Settlement
The Britannian Forces were evacuating on the Avalon. They knew that there was nothing that could be done for Area 11. The Avalon fired a green flare, signaling a ceasefire. Everyone stared in awe.
'We did it….' Rivalz thought.
'Time for the dominos to start falling.' Naoto thought.
'We freed Japan. We did it at long last.' Kallen thought.
Isaribi
Everyone on the Isaribi stared at the flare.
'We did it. It's all over now.' Ohgi thought.
Tokyo Settlement
"We did it!" Tamaki said.
The Black Knights cheered as they hoist their weapons. The rest of the rebels join in.
Lelouch in the Gawain was smiling now that it was all over.
'It's over now. Now to focus on rebuilding Japan.' Lelouch thought.
"We did it! We did it!" Kaguya said hugging Nina.
"Y-Yeah. We did it!" Nina said.
"Banzai!" Yoshida said.
"We actually pulled it off man! We actually did it!" Sugiyama said.
"I guess now a new age will begin for Japan." Diethard said.
'Well Lady Marianne, I made you proud today.' Jeremiah thought.
The Avalon began to fly away from the Tokyo Settlement as the Black Knights swiftly took control. The Gawain landed near the Academy. Lelouch got and Kaguya tackled him.
"We did it Lelouch! No, you did it! Oh how I love you for that!" Kaguya said.
"Kaguya… That cracking sound is literally my rib cage crying out in agony." Lelouch said as he struggled to breathe.
"Oh…." Kaguya said as she got off of him, "Whoopsies!"
"Well fearless leader, now what?" Milly asked.
"Well I heard that most of the Chinese Federation and the EU is in combat with Britannia on both sides. My contact said that Chinese forces are pulling out of Japan for the time being. We won, now we just need to rebuild Japan." Lelouch said, "But first, let's make our victory known."
The sun began to rise as the Black Knights begin to prepare to broadcast their victory.
Ashford Academy
Nunnally slowly came to. She looked around and found Sayako just next to her.
"Lady Nunnally, you're alright." Sayako said.
"Sayoko-San…." Nunnally said weakly.
"Now now, just rest." Sayako said.
"What happened?" Nunnally asked.
"We won my lady, it's over now." Sayako said.
"It is?" Nunnally asked.
"Yes." Sayako said.
Government Bureau
Everyone was getting ready. The newly reborn Japan was getting a redesigned flag based on its original design, only now it had wings on the sides of the circle. Lelouch got his mask on and began to prepare himself for the broadcast.
"A little bit to the right. Yeah that's it." Diethard said.
Lelouch got out and got into position.
"Alright, begin broadcast in three…. two…. one… Go!" Diethard said.
The Broadcast activated and was all over every TV.
"Hello world. It is I, Zero." Zero said.
Pendragon, Britannia
Charles was ever so angry. He now wished that Lelouch had died to begin with during the invasion of Japan 7 years ago. He bashed a pot into pieces. His anger was so powerful.
"LELOUCH!" Charles roared.
Avalon
Suzaku, Rai, Euphie, Schneizel, Lloyd, Cecile, Kanon, and Cornelia were on the bridge.
'Lelouch….' Suzaku thought.
"I have come to tell you that Tokyo and all of Area 11 has fallen under the control of the Black Knights!" Zero declared.
'And so goes down the nail in my father's coffin along with his regime.' Schneizel thought as he grinned.
"Even though the remnants of the occupation forces exist, they cannot defeat the Black Knights nor the reborn Japan known as this day forth, the United States of Japan!" Zero said, "Any Britannian citizens who decide to stay will be given civil rights and equality to the Japanese and will be considered as citizens. All that is required is to do that which is just."
"Unbelievable… This bastard would dare to—"
"Now now Cornelia, there's nothing we could do." Schneizel said, 'Besides, everything is going to plan.'
'Lelouch…. You really did it.' Suzaku thought.
'Will we ever go back to being friends again?' Rai thought.
Tokyo Settlement
"To those who fought for Japan's Freedom, we will never forget your sacrifices and we will insure that they will not be in vain." Zero said, "To those who died in battle, we will never forget about you as long as we live."
Nunnally got out of the infirmary as many of the core members were waiting for Nunnally to come out.
"You little munchkin! You made it!" Tamaki said giving her a noogie.
"Tamaki-San, quit it." Nunnally said.
"You did well out there little mouse." Asahina said.
"Yeah….. What he said." Chiba said.
"Good to see that you recovered." Inoue said.
"You know, you kinda worried us there, little girl." Urabe said.
"Nunna! You're ok!" Shirley said.
"Alright guys, I'll be making coffee, how do you want yours?" Rivalz said.
"I want it black." Yoshida said.
"Are trying to sound tough, sissie?" Rivalz said.
"Cream will do." Naoto said.
"Coming right up madam." Rivalz said.
"Cream and sugar my man." Sugiyama said.
"What are you, Kaguya?" Rivalz said.
"Rivalz, I wanted it black!" Kaguya said.
"Surprise me." Tamaki said.
Rivals splashed some coffee on Tamaki.
"The hell was that for?" Tamaki asked.
"That's your surprise." Rivalz said.
"The hell it was." Tamaki said.
'Everyone is so happy…. I'm glad to have lived long enough to see this again. Thankyou everyone.' Nunnally thought.
Pendragon, Britannia
Odysseus along with a few nobleman were discussing what to do in response to the broadcast. However, the broadcast couldn't be taken down. It was impossible.
"I'd suggest we invade this 'new' Japan and take it back under our control." one of the men suggested.
"And risk being defeated by Zero? Only a madman would do that." another one said.
"Are you saying we should let this humiliation slip by as it so damn well pleases?!" the first one said.
"We can't win against Zero, besides, now that he's revealed himself and told the truth behind his involvement during the Second Pacific War and the Black Knights, the people will surely retaliate in protests and riots." another one said.
"The people are demanding the Emperor's head, what do we do?!" another one said.
"Enough gentlemen." a voice said.
It was Guinevere. She heard everything that was going on. The men and Odysseus were glad that she was here.
"Lady Guinevere, We-"
"Enough." Guinevere said as she snapped her fingers.
Soldiers flooded the room with guns pointing at the men except Odysseus.
"As of now, you're all relieved of your duties." Guinevere said, "Take them away, leave my brother, he and I need to talk."
The soldiers took the men out of the room, some were struggling and were knocked out.
"Wait a minute sister, what's going on?" Odysseus asked.
"I'm sorry, I have no time to explain." Guinevere said, "You just set up arrangements for negotiating with the Japanese as of today and don't tell anyone I said anything to you about this matter."
"Negotiations? But I-"
"Don't worry, Schneizel will walk you through it, the rest is up to you." Guinevere said.
She left the room.
Tokyo Settlement
"As of today, the world shall forever recognize this nation as a sovereign and independent nation of the United States of Japan from this day forth!" Zero said.
Crowds cheered on the masked knight. The feed cuts out as flags of the New Japan were now being waved on top of the Government Bureau.
'Now I know how Clovis felt when he did stuff like this.' Lelouch thought.
"That was great, no that was fantastic! I've never seen such a presentation such as yours ever since the Orange thing!" Diethard said.
"Well don't get your fanboyism in a bunch will ya?" Ohgi said.
"Wha-"
"Nothing." Ohgi said.
Lelouch took his mask off and sighed in relief.
'This is only one step in taking my father down. I'll make sure the sacrifices of those who died are not in vain.' Lelouch thought.
Pendragon, Britannia
The Emperor couldn't even begin to believe what the hell he has gotten himself into. His own daughter, Guinevere, along with a few soldiers, have their guns aimed at him. The Knights of the Round are out doing the fighting. He's got no one who could save him. All he could do, which he won't, is to beg for mercy or die.
"You ignorant child, you dare do this to me? Your father?!" Charles questioned.
"The people want you gone. I'll do whatever it takes to make it happen, rather I stick your head on a pike, or have you locked in the dungeon for years." Guinevere said, "Any last words?"
"This…. this is blasphemy. This is madness!" Charles yelled.
"Madness? Welcome to the real world, father." Guinevere said, "Shoot him."
"You little—!"
Without second thoughts, the soldiers shoot the emperor and filled him with bullets. The emperor slumped to the floor. He still had some fight in him.
"You…. you can't do this to me…. if I can't lead this world, who will?" Charles asked.
"That's a question you should ask yourself." Guinevere said.
The emperor soon collapsed. He was dead. He didn't move an inch. Blood was everywhere. The soldiers took the body and burned it. The imperial mausoleum was burned down too. Charles's legacy fell apart. Guinevere grabs a telephone and calls Schneizel. Millions demanded the Emperor's head.
"It's done. Onto the next phase of our plan." Guinevere said.
"Good… as soon as I come back, say that the emperor had named me successor and the rest will be easy from there. All we need to do now is get rid of anyone loyal to him." Schneizel said.
V.V, having witnessed this, hid himself. He failed as a brother to Charles. He felt that last bit in him break into pieces. He was broken mentally. He clenched his fists. He had a plan in mind. Thankfully he managed to formulate a plan to take the throne in case someone assassinated his brother. Once the throne was his, he would have his eyes on everyone. Tears fell down his eyes. Soon, word went out that the emperor died of a heart attack. The Chinese and the EU backed off. The people now have no idea who would succeed him.
Tokyo Settlement
"Are you sure?" Lelouch asked.
"Yup. They said the old man had a heart attack of some sort." Naoto said.
'It all sounds fishy. No matter, at least now Japan can rest easy now.' Lelouch thought.
Next Morning…..
Word out that a new emperor had risen to power. It wasn't Schneizel or rather….. it was Vincent Zi Britannia, older brother of Charles Zi Britannia. Though his body barely aged, making him look like a child, his intelligence and the fact that he was the older brother made it secure for him to gain power on the throne. Schneizel's plan for reform were halted. Japan has finally been free, but just how long will this new peace last? No one can be certain now. It's clear that it may never last long. But if the peace does fall, it will be up to Zero and the Black Knights to put it back together.
Epilogue
The Black Knights
Lelouch Vi Britannia: he was hailed as a hero to the world. The Japanese thanked him very much. He was still the leader of the Black Knights till this day.
Nunnally Vi Britannia: She was an ace by the end of the rebellion. She was hailed as the Black Butterfly by some people, others called her the Ghost of Marianne. She was ultimately referred to as the Demon of the Black Knights.
Kallen Kozuki: She was still in the Zero Squad. She was known as the Akaryu or Red Dragon. Some called her the Right Handed Devil.
Naoto Kozuki: He was still in the Zero Squad. He was known as the Aoryu or Blue Dragon. The Britannians called him the Left Handed Devil.
Ohgi Kaname: Ohgi and Villetta got married. He was still deputy chief of the Black Knights up to this day.
The First Special Forces: the First Special Forces had been prominent during this time. Tamaki was still… Tamaki. Sugiyama was still hitting on Inoue, which got him nowhere. Inoue herself was still working in the Black Knights. Yoshida was given the keys to the Gusion, he wore it as a necklace.
The Four Holy Swords: Todoh and the Four Holy Swords had changed. Chiba changed a bit when it came to Britannians, but not as much. Senba volunteered to help Japan's new military grow. Asahina and Urabe were still in the Black Knights. Todoh was still in the Black Knights.
Ashford Student Council: Milly was now in charge of logistics and in the media along with Diethard. Rivals was still trying to hit on Milly, she still didn't give in yet. Shirley was dating Lelouch along with Kallen, Kaguya, and CC. Nina was still working in the Black Knights research division in weapons development.
CC: though her origins were unknown, it was said that journalists said that she was still eating pizza.
The House of Kyoto: Most of the group got their companies back. Most of them were now under full Japanese control. Kaguya was now prime minister of Japan.
Rakshata Chawla: she was hailed as a revolutionary scientist for cybernetics and weapons development. She would soon be developing more KMF Technologies.
Katase: He was put in charge Japan's Military. He and Senba worked to help the military rebuild itself.
Jeremiah Gottwald: He continued serving Nunnally and Lelouch. He and Sayoko were practically their greatest bodyguards possible.
Sayoko Shinozaki: She served her masters alongside Jeremiah. She would soon make history as the greatest ninja in the Shinozaki Clan if not the world.
Britannia
Cornelia Li Britannia: she was utterly found responsible after all her failures in Area 11. She had suffered greatly and blamed the Japanese for it. The losses she had to put up with along with the loss of her nickname as Goddess of Victory, the loss of her Knights, it was enough to make her have a deep hatred for the Japanese.
Euphemia Li Britannia: she was known as the Angel Amazon for her kind nature and skill. She was still supporting the peace that kept the world shocked.
Suzaku Kururugi: he was made the Knight of Seven despite the failures in his career. It was rumored that he had feelings for Euphemia.
Rai Hodges: Rai was made into the Knight of Eleven. He looked over the coast, wondering if everyone was fine over at Japan.
Clovis La Britannia: Though he was responsible for the crimes he did, Clovis stood tall, knowing that soon, the world would reconcile him and forgive him of his sins. He was confined to the Libra Chateau as punishment for his connections to Code R and the attempted massacre of Shinjuku.
Nonette Enneagram: The Knight of Nine managed to evacuate from Area 11 long before it became the newly resurrected Japan. She may had developed feelings for Rai.
Bartley Aspirus: Bartley wasn't out of the woods yet. He had been demoted by the emperor himself for his clumsiness. He was still Clovis's aide in military matters.
Schneizel El Britannia: Schneizel's plan for reform managed to make small reforms in society, but never managed to get anywhere in large reforms. He may need the Black Knights once again for his plans.
Guinevere Su Britannia: Guinevere was still herself after everything ended. She and Kaguya signed a nonaggression pact. The Japanese and the Britannians would still be trading, but only as long as one side doesn't go against the treaty.
Odysseus Eu Britannia: Odysseus was taking a few lessons in politics with Schneizel, he even got to play chess with him. Carine still called him a "Cinnamon Roll", probably just because he acts too kind to people and is handsome in a few ways.
The End
