Chapter 9: King
--------------------
Sorry I haven't updated, but my best friend had thrown a party, then another one, plus, I'm buried up to my ears in homework(beware AP) so that sucks, enough ranting let's get one. Oh, by the way, Lelouch and Shirley won't be getting 9th generation KMF's (KnightMare Frames), however, if you've read Nightmare of Nunally, then-0000000000spoilers00000000000-

"Shirley Fenette, will you marry me?" asked Lelouch Lamperouge.
-THUMP- Shirley had fainted after a faint "yes"
"Suzaku said my breath didn't stink, I wonder what happened?"
Lelouch had gotten down and was trying to pick Shirley up, but due to his lack of strength, couldn't. The door had barged open, Suzaku walked in.
"Hey Lelouch, did you propose to Shirley? Knowing you, you'd probably do something…dramatic" Suzaku had stared at Lelouch struggling to pull Shirley up and was already red-face and sweaty, with his black overshirt off. The position the two were in didn't help either.
"Lelouch! Damn, you're lucky"
"Wait Suzaku, this isn't how it looks like"
Suzaku had exited the room and put a 'Do not disturb or else' sign on the doorknob.
The next day
"Ohhhh, so that's what happened. Why didn't you tell me earlier Lelouch?" said Suzaku.
"You already assumed we were doing something perverted"
"Yes, Su-san is noted for thinking the wrong things at the wrong time" said Sayoko.
"Yeah, Suza-kun is really perverted" said Shirley.
"Lord Lelouch is getting married!!!" yelled Jeremiah for the ump-teenth time already.
"In any case- I have something to say everybody" said Lelouch.
The entire Lounge got quiet.
"Our original objective of supporting Nunally from won't work"
"What, why?!" asked Suzaku.
"Suzaku, you are aware that the Cambodia research facility has gone rogue, and according to some reports from a Geassed spy, mass-production of FLEIJA warheads has begun. I think, that Schneizel plans on using Nunally as Empress just to pacify the masses and take attention off himself, then-…"
"He'll use FLEIJA to hold the world at his feet" finished Shirley.
"So why don't we attack right now?" asked Jeremiah.
"With FLEIJA, we won't even get close before being killed" said Sayoko.
"You guys at least" said G.G.
"Be nice" said C.C.
Two Weeks Later – Britannian Throne Room
"When is His Majesty going to enter?"
"I hear His Majesty has been gone for quite a long time, do you think he'll show?"
"Quiet! It's begun"
"Ladies and Gentlemen, his Highness, Charles Di Britannia"
The curtains opened and revealed Lelouch sitting on the throne in his Ashford Academy uniform.
"Hello, my name is Lelouch Lamperouge, the 99th Emperor of Britannia" said Lelouch.
"Ah, Lelouch, it's a pleasure to see you again. After seeing that Nunally was alive, we hoped that there was a chance you were too. But still, this is a childish prank, come down here now" said Odysseus.
"This is no prank brother; I have killed Father, and am now the Emperor"
"What, he killed The Emperor"
"Guards, grab that fool and make him pay for murdering the Emperor" said Guinevere.
The Royal Guard then advanced on Lelouch, spears drawn, but were defeated by Suzaku, who had dropped out of the ceiling.
"This is my personal knight, Suzaku Kururugi. As a Knight of Rounds beyond all others, I shall bestow upon him the ultimate title of 'Knight of Zero'"
"Why Lelouch you brat!" said Guinevere.
She had drawn a gun and aimed it straight at Lelouch. She was about to pull the trigger but her hand stopped and her sight was swarmed with flashes of colors and swishing images, effectively paralyzing her until she dropped the gun and collapsed to the floor. Shirley had also entered from the side of the curtain, Geass glowing.
"And this is my wife, Queen of Britannia, Shirley Lamperouge"
"This is necessary, right Lelou. Don't worry, as your wife, I'll protect you"
"Brother, this is a very cruel prank you are playing. Don't forget that this is a worldwide broadcast and you are ruining Britannia's reputation" said Odysseus.
Lelouch had gotten up and removed the contacts from his eyes, Geass sigils glowing.
"Lelouch Lamperouge commands you: Accept me as Emperor"
The command got through, and all the Nobles proclaimed, "All hail Lelouch, All hail Lelouch"
Antarctica-Thought Elevator
Schneizel was in a white and gold cold-protection jacket and had the Damocles' computer system analyzing the Thought Elevator.
"Amazing, the energy released during Father's plan is almost exactly similar to the kind used by Lelouch's Geass.
The Thought Elevator suddenly activated, and Schneizel was teleported into an underground chamber.
"Brother, are you there? Where are you?" asked Nunally through the comm. system.
"I'm fine; I just stumbled upon something interesting"
There was a slab with an inscription.
"The Code is the Key. Geass is the Lock" read the slab.
"Hmm, what is a Code, and what does it have to do with Geass. Could there be some sort of 3rd party that has yet to reveal itself, or…wait, there's something else here…"
Britannia
Lelouch, Shirley, Suzaku, C.C., and G.G. were sitting on the countryside surrounding the palace.
"So you're the Emperor of the country you tried to destroy" said C.C.
"Yeah, but this will make things easier to find Z.Z." said Lelouch.
"By the way, what are those Codes for?" asked Shirley.
"They're part of a cipher to unlocking the secrets of an ancient civilization" replied G.G.
"So what's the point of that?" asked Lelouch.
"There's a particular person we need, yet we need all five Codes located in the Dark Door at a specific Thought Elevator to call him"
"Do you plan on salvaging a weapon like that?"
"Our plan is to-…"
-"Your Majesty, the Knights of Rounds have rebelled"
"I'll send Suzaku Kururugi to the front lines immediately" said Lelouch. "Looks like we'll have to finish this conversation later"
Damocles-Schneizel's Quarters
"Looks like you have a rebellion on your hands, Lelouch"
"Submit"
"What?!"
"I command thee, SUBMIT!!!"
AGGHHH
"Brother, what happened?" asked Nunally.
"Nothing Nunally, I'm fine"
"Okay…"
Britannian Skies
The Lancelot Albion had intercepted the Knights of Rounds Faction, and had already obliterated all of its units; Monica and Dorothea were dead, the Tristan was heavily damaged; only the Galahad was operable.
"Suzaku Kururugi, I had heard your goal was to become the Knight of One, but that title belongs to me alone" said Bismark "But that title will belong to me forever"
The Galahad had taken out its sword, the Excalibur, and started evading the Lancelot.
"How does he know the Lancelot's trajectory?"
"My Geass allow me to see the future, who knew I had to use it against somebody other than Marianne"
"Suzaku, as expected, this is a worldwide feed, so-
-I must win right-
-yes, you need to live"
"Yes, Your Majesty"
The Lancelot suddenly got faster, to the point where Bismark had trouble keeping up; it made a direct attack and sliced the Galahad and Excalibur in half.
"With this I make my request to the United Federation of Nations: will you accept Britannia?"
Ikaruga-Bridge
"Hey guys, I told you Zero was a good guy" said Tamaki.
"Why does he wish to join?" asked Kaguya.
"According to Article 1, any nation that wishes to join the UFN must be given a fair and impartial evaluation and comply with the UFN Constitution" said Li.
"We're receiving a channel from an unknown source" said Ayame.
"Patch them through"
"Hello, Black Knights" said Schneizel.
"What do you want?" asked Ohgi.
"Simple, I think that Lelouch isn't serious about joining the UFN and this is nothing more than a farce, it's happened before"
"True, but we must follow the laws of the Constitution"
"I understand, but if he makes military action, I would propose joining forces"
"We'll accept that, only if Lelouch takes military action"
"By the way, who are you? I didn't meet you when you exposed Zero, so I would wish to know the name of the person we might work with" asked Kaguya.
"My name is-
Schneizel X Britannia
