Code Geass: Infinity
Chapter 14: Infinity
--------------------------
Awesome reviews, thank you. This is probably the shortest Author note ever. On to fanfiction.
---------------------------
Onboard the Odin
"Infinity, what's that?" asked Lelouch.
"It is the only thing that can defeat Omega, but it was never used; and nobody knows where it is now" answered Nix.
"How are we supposed to find something like that" asked Suzaku.
"It's supposed to show its presence, after Omega has been activated; essentially, it is the counterbalance; a failsafe for this sort of situation"
"Lord Lelouch"
"Yes Jeremiah!"
"The Black Knights, they wish a temporary truce and discussion"
"Do they think now, after everything that's happened they can trick me into getting captured again-."
"I have captured the Commander-In-Chief, Li Xingke, so we have some protection"
"Very well then"
Lelouch had joined a meeting with the core members of the Black Knights aboard the Ikaruga. Jeremiah had accompanied him, but stayed outside the meeting room. Altogether, the meeting room held Ohgi, Tohdoh, Kaguya, Tianzi, and Tamaki.
"Hello Ohgi-san" said Lelouch in perfect Japanese.
"Lelouch" replied Ohgi.
"I half-expected you to say Zero"
"You're no longer Zero in our eyes, you traitor"
"Unless my memory's been messed with again, I believe you were the ones who were pointing guns at me"
"Enough!" said Tohdoh.
"So, what was it you wanted to discuss? Me being Zero, or Schneizel's plans" asked Lelouch.
"Both, we want the truth, now" said Tohdoh.
"Where shall I begin?"
"How about: pretending to help the Japan Liberation Front, and then turn them into a living bomb"
"And utilizing the deaths of a bunch of terrorists to weaken the enemy"
"These are human lives, not chess pieces Lelouch!" said Ohgi.
"That didn't seem to matter to you when you were fighting Britannia"
"What about your Geass; you've been using it to manipulate us and bend us to your will" said Kaguya.
"There was no need to use it"
"What!"
"My Geass has a certain one-use limit to it, meaning I can only use it on a single person once, and then they become immune to it. Check your memories for anything missing or out of place, and you'll find that I have not tampered with your wills"
"What are Schneizel's plans?!" asked Tianzi.
"Didn't he say it over the world, he thinks he's God"
"Don't shit with us. You know what he's doing, and you're going to tell us or else-." started Tamaki, but he was cut off by Lelouch.
"Idiots! Are you really as stupid as you sound! Rather than trying to keep me here, you should be trying to fight XX"
"Who's that?" asked Kaguya.
"…I don't have time for this. Jeremiah, we're leaving"
"Yes your Majesty"
"The reason why you continue to be manipulated so easily is because you keep on relying on somebody else to tell you what to do. Just like Britannia"
Lelouch and Jeremiah left the Ikaruga and returned to the Odin.
"How did the meeting go?" asked Nix.
"Lousy, as expected" answered Lelouch.
"Anyway, have you found Infinity yet?" asked Suzaku.
"No, I don't know its exact location. Only GG knew, and she's stuck inside Omega" said Nix.
"Kamine Island, the place where the Thought Elevator that brought us to the Sword of Akasha lay; now that I think about it, maybe Charles and VV were using the Infinity as a power source to destroy the World of C" said Lelouch.
"That's possible. Still, there's no guarantee that after we activate Infinity, it'll have enough power to stop XX"
"We don't have much of a choice" said Shirley.
"Lelouch-sama" said Sayoko.
"Yes"
"We're being attacked by those white creatures"
Outside, creatures made of white energy started chasing the Odin. Their bodies were weapons, often releasing their own body fragments as a weapon.
"Dammit, we don't have the Shinkiro or the Ganymede; the Thor is too damaged to move, and the Lancelot is missing half of its weapons and equipment" said Lelouch.
"Nix, can the Odin outmaneuver them?" asked Suzaku.
"No, its energy filler is almost used up after that last battle"
The Light Creatures then moved in together and gathered their power around a single point, firing the blast and shattering Blaze Luminous around the Odin.
"They're going to fire again!" said Shirley.
The Light Creatures charged for another attack, but split up after a rocket almost hit them.
"Damn, these Akatsukis are a lot more difficult to pilot than you guys make it seem" said Ohgi from an Akatsuki Jikishinayo.
The Zangetsu rushed at a loose Light Creature and bisected it with the Seitdotou.
"Actually, for your first time, you did pretty well" said Tohdoh.
The Ikaruga then fired its Hadron Cannons and wiped out the remaining Light Creatures
"Excellent shot Minami-san" said Kaguya.
"Thank you, Sumeragi-hime"
"Zero, we may not trust you entirely, but we believe that you're the only one who can stop Schneizel" said Ohgi.
"The Black Knights are…" started Suzaku.
"Suzaku!"
"Yes, Tohdoh-sensei"
"Heh, I'm not 'sensei' anymore. You've got to use this chance we're buying for you, protect Zero"
"I will"
"Nix, hurry on to Kamine Island" said Lelouch.
An hour later
The Odin had reached Kamine Island, and landed. The Lancelot Albion and Thor Sieg were repaired and ready to fend off enemy forces. Shirley, Lelouch, and Sayoko had gotten off and were walking towards the chamber that held the Thought Elevator.
"Aghhh!!!" screamed Lelouch.
"What's wrong Lulu; is there something wrong with your eye-Agghhh" said Shirley.
Lelouch opened his eyes, revealing that his Geass sigils were showing, even through Nix's special contact, Shirley's Geass was also active, but fortunately, not in effect; she could still supress its actual ability.
"This is definitely the place" said Lelouch.
They continued walking, until they found the Thought Elevator, humming with energy. The group tried walking forward, but an invisible force-field stopped all but Lelouch from going forward.
"I'm sorry Lelouch-sama, but it seems you'll have to go it alone" said Sayoko.
"WRONG!!! Lulu's not alone anymore, right. You've got all of us to look out for you; so that means you've got to come back, right!" said Shirley.
"Right"
Lelouch walked towards the Thought Elevator, and disappeared.
0000000000000
He was taken back into the realm of the Sword of Akasha, except the temple was missing, and there was just a large stone stage, almost like a sparring ring.
"WHO'S THERE!!!" bellowed a booming voice.
"My name is Lelouch Lamperouge, who are you?" replied Lelouch.
"MY NAME IS OF NO IMPORTANCE. TELL ME, WHY ARE YOU HERE!!!"
"I seek the Mythos Infinity"
"WHY; YOU WIELD A GEASS, SO THAT MEANS YOU ARE ASSOCIATED WITH XX!!!"
"That's the person I'm trying to stop!"
"I SHALL JUDGE YOU, TO SEE WHETHER YOU ARE WORTHY OF WIELDING THAT POWER"
Lelouch felt a hot needle pierce his mind. The memories of his lifetime flashed before him. His life as a prince of Britannia, Marianne's assassination and Nunally's condition, Suzaku and the Second Pacific War, Ashford Academy, his meeting with Nix, The Black Knights, Euphie's Massacre, Shirley…it went on…until Lelouch was on the floor, exhausted from the mental probe.
"I'VE SEEN YOUR MEMORIES, TELL ME, DO YOU TRULY BELIEVE YOU ARE WORTHY OF HAVING INFINITY'S POWER; YOU SHOULD KNOW BY NOW WHAT POWER DOES TO THOSE WHO WIELD IT RECKLESSLY"
"I…don't want to…lose anymore…OF MY FRIENDS!!!"
"HMM?"
"I've seen…my favorite half-sister die…my real sister and friend are possessed by evil monsters…and Shirley's suffered so much…If you've seen my memories, then you know what I'm after. I want the power to defeat XX…to save everybody"
"AND IF I REFUSE TO COMPLY WITH YOUR REQUEST! WHAT WILL YOU DO?"
"Then I'll use my Geass to force you out to, fight you, and take Infinity by force!"
"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA, GOOD ANSWER…I didn't expect that answer"
The mist surrounding the stage cleared, revealing a Lelouch doppelganger. He had Lelouch's face features and body figure, but had white hair, and was wearing an inverted version of Lelouch's emperor outfit, his eyes were also a blood-red color, with inverted Geass sigils.
"Who are you?" asked Lelouch.
"I was that voice you were talking to" replied the doppelganger.
"Then, will you give me Infinity?"
The doppelganger puched Lelouch, black energy trailing the fist; Lelouch flew back, and blood was dripping out of his mouth.
"What was that? I couldn't hear you"
"That power, was it…Infinity?"
"Yeah, scary isn't it. You said you were going to use your Geass, well what if it doesn't work against me, then what?!"
"I don't care…"
"What?"
"I don't care if you pummel me into the ground, if my Geass is powerless against you. I need that power…SO NO MATTER WHAT, I'LL DEFEAT YOU!!!"
"So you're willing to go that far then, YOU STUPID FOOL, NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE!!!"
The doppelganger rushed at Lelouch again, black energy flaring; but Lelouch kept calm, and stared at him.
"Even if you're willing to die, huh"
"Yes"
"You must really want the power of Mythos Infinity"
"I see, you must be…Infinity"
The energy disappeared, The Doppelganger started dissolving into a black shadow, and mixed with Lelouch's.
"Good observation, I shall grant you my power. But be warned, even I do not have enough power to defeat XX the way he is now, do you still wish to fight?"
"Yes, if your power isn't enough, I have my friends to fight with me"
"Heh, I think I kinda respect you, kid; good luck, and try not to get us killed"
00000000000000000000
"Shirley, has Lelouch found Infinity yet?!" asked Suzaku.
"No, he's still inside the Thought Elevator" said Shirley.
"We have to get out of here soon, the Light Creatures are overwhelming the Black Knights and have reached us. Jeremiah and I can't hold them off forever"
"I know, but-wait, Suzaku, Lelouch is back!"
Lelouch exited the Thought Elevator and broke the force field in front of him.
He looked the same, except his hair had a whitish tinge around the tips, and his eyes were red, with inverted Geass sigils.
"Let's go"
Lelouch released black wings from his back, grabbed Shirley and Sayoko, and broke out of the chamber and entered the Odin.
"Suzaku, Jeremiah, return to the Odin"
"Yes sir"
Once the two Knightmares had entered the Odin, Lelouch left and flew to the bow of the Odin. He released four energy whips that grabbed the edges of the Odin. His wings glowed black briefly, and speeded over towards XX's location.
Black Knights POV
"The Ikaruga can't fire the Hadron Cannons anymore" said Sugiyama.
"The Zangetsu is running out of power, and most of the Akatsukis are being forced to land" said Tohdoh.
"What do we do?!" said Ohgi.
Just then, a black blur speeded right past them, destroying all of the Light Creatures in sight. They could see it was heading for the White Dome.
The blur had smashed into the dome exactly where the 'X' was.
"Minami, can you get a visual?" asked Ohgi.
"Yes sir…it appears to be, Zero!"
Normal POV
Lelouch had slammed into the White Dome; he shoved his hands in, and ripped open a large gash. Wind started entering the gash, from his vision; Lelouch could see the Black Knight's Knightmares coming to back them up. His wings glowed again as Lelouch and the Odin entered the Dome.
From the top of the mutated Damocles, XX saw Lelouch breaking through.
"So, it would seem like he found Infinity. Nemo, Carmius, GG, entertain our guests, and kill them" said XX "Lelouch, this will be our-."
"XX, this is the-."
"Final Battle"
