AN:Anyways I wont be making a very long note here this chapter is basically just almost the same as the one on the anime so please forgive me for the super long chapter I hope your eye's wont strain too much from staring at the screen for too long. Now I present the 1st chapter to this fic hope you would enjoy this. R&R please. :D
The once strong nation of Japan has now fallen, its people now reduced to live in ghettos and only Britanian's are allowed to live in 1st class settlements. The governor of Area 11, Prince Clovis la Britannia 3rd prince of the Empire, issued the Honorary Britannian system. By doing this he believes that he can gain the trust of the people, but somehow it would not matter since some may have joined whilst most of them decided to rebel and regain their independence once more.
"Oi! Lelou, are you going to go to one of your chess matches again?"
Lelouch did not answer and just waved Shirley off, it could be seen that she is very mad at how Lelouch responded to her.
"Really Lelou, playing with nobles can't do you much good. At least domt involve Rivalz in your gamblings."
"Don't worry about it, Shirley. Without Lelouch how can I get money and..."
"...It is only one of the many things that can keep me entertained." said Lelouch, interupting Rivalz.
They went out the campus, as usual Rivalz would drive them to the matches using his motorbike.
"Ne Lelouch, do you think that it was wise to leave Shirley in a worried state like that?"
"Don't worry about it Rivalz, I'll talk to her when we get back."
The nobleman gave out a small smirk after the old man made his move.
"Your turn"
The old man's face was starting to drip with sweat while rubbing his knuckles out of nervousness. He looked up to him and back at the chess board wondering when his replacement would come. As he was about to move a piece the door behind him opened and there revealed two silhouettes, the two approached and he stood up to greet them.
"It would seem that your retainer has now arrived."
The old man gave out a thankful exprssion and asked Lelouch."How's school lately?"
"It's been well"
The nobleman looked at Lelouch and Rivalz closely, examining the two reorganizing his thoughts 'hmm… this is quite an easy win, I'll be playing against a student.' He then gave out a small smile to Lelouch.
"So you're the replacement, but you're only a student are you sure you should be gambling shouldn't you be at school studying?"
"Please do not worry yourself sir I will keep you quite entertained."
"Very well, what would be your name?"
"Lelouch Lamperouge….."
Lelouch sat down and examined the chess board closely; he then sat upright and decided on his moves.
"Rivalz, how long will it take us to get back to school?"
"If I speed, it would take about 20 minutes why?"
"I trust that you will drive us safely back,this will end in 9mins"
"Kid you think too highly of yourself, but let it just be I'll let you keep you pride in tact till after I defeat you that is."
"Very well we shall just see the outcome of this" said Lelouch as he smirked and picked up his back king. The nobleman was very much surprised at the act that Lelouch committed and gave out a light chuckle.
"What a very reckless thing to do bringing out your king in the open I will truly win this match."
While the nobleman was too busy gloating and seeing to it that he will win Leouch suddenly made a move that he didn't notice.
"Checkmate"
The nobleman was baffled at the sight and was in great shock his mouth open. Just staring at the board figuring out where he could have gone wrong and most of all how he could have lost to a mere student.
Meanwhile a pair of people wearing light blue uniforms driving a truck with a police helicopter following their tail from above.
"We've finally pulled this off and that Damakin, dosents even move according to plan!"
"Wow that was really quite fast today and you even made a new record of 8 minutes and 32 seconds"
"My opponent didn't also have much time either. Beside all noblemen are too soft, I may enjoy the games once in a while but……"
Lelouch was suddenly interrupted, as they got out of the building, by the announcement of Prince Clovis about a terrorist attack. They looked at the big screen across them, Rivalz was just listening while Lelouch, his eyes of that either hate or may it be just plain anger.
"My friends and fellow citizens of Britannia and also many of those other elevens who choose to help our glorious empire. I am torn between sadness and anger! However, as the steward of Area 11, I must stand firm against these terrorists! For this battle is one of justice and for all the happiness of all the people. Now, my friends let us offer a prayer for the ones we have lost. Please a moment of silence."
"So are you going to mourn?" asked Lelouch as he pays the meter.
"I'd be embarrassed."
"True enough, beside our tears wont bring the dead back to life."
"Oh that's cold"
"Its all about self-indulgence"
Lelouch looked back at the big screen 'no matter how much we try, the world wont change' before hopping in the sidecar of the motorbike.
"That was wonderful your highness. It didn't even seem that you were at a party a little moment ago."
"Of course I would not be fit to rule over area 11 if I weren't able to change my façade so easily."
Then suddenly a man in uniform with a spectacle over his right eye who is which quite stout came running over to Clovis with an urgent news.
"Idiot!"
"The police said it was just some medical supplies and….."
He was immediately cut off by the Prince "Mobilize the army and dispatch the Knightmare's too!"
"Say Lelouch why did you move your king first?"
Leouch looked up from his book and answered Rivalz in a straight manner.
"If the king dosent lead the charge, his men wont follow."
"Hey lelouch do you want to be a CEO or something?"
"No, by having such grandiose dreams lead to self destructi….."
As Lelouch was about to finish his sentence, a truck came behind them with great speed."Damn, liesurely drivers!" Rivalz suddenly swerved the bike and then the truck which to their point of view accidentally swerved to the left which caused them to crash and the truck to slide.
They stopped at the edge of the road and tried to see what happened, waiting for the smoke to clear out.
"You think that was our fault?"
Lelouch just suddenly got out of the sidecar throwing the helmet inside upon hearing the comments of the people around them, and ran towards the truck. He approached it with caution and climbed the truck.
"Hey are you alright?"
Suddenly the truck started move again which caused Lelouch to be caught off balance. Then out of nowhere he heard a voice saying 'I've finally found you my….'.
He tried to look for an exit 'Why don't they have a ladder in here.'
The truck sped off on the highway, from above a military helicopter tailing after them 'Surrender! We have you surrounded! Stop the vehicle immediately!' Then a gattling gun emerged from the bottom of the chopper and started to fire at them.
'Terrorists!' Lelouch thought out of slight panic. Then he tried his phone
"Damn, military!"
The other terrorist then took off her cap "That's why you have me." and went to the back of the truck.
Hearing the footsteps Lelouch immediately hid behind a pot shaped container thought to be poison gas, but not known by Lelouch. The red headed girl emerged from the door and took off the single piece suit, revealing another set of clothes with a mixture of red maroon and chocolate brown, on her forehead a piece of red headband can be found.
"You can get to the subway if you head through the ghettos."
"Karen, lets's us it."
"That would mean massacre!"
"Yeah you're right"
Lelouch looks at the terrorist again peaking from the sides. 'That woman…..'
At the other end of the highway and a much safer place, Rivalz searches for Lelouch.
"Lelouch where are you? Are you coming back to school?"
"The target is going south to the ghettos. Get them!"
"Yes sir!"
As the choppers get closer to the truck a slash harken suddenly came out from behind the truck and hit one of the helicopters causing it to be pulled down and destroyed.
"Slash Harken?!"
The back of the truck now opened and revealed a red Glasgow it jumped out onto the road "A Knightmare!" and it released it slash harken once more and aimed it at the two remaining helicopters causing one of the other to receive the same fate as the other one. Then another came "Pull Back!" but this time it brought with it a Knightmare. "I don't know where you came from but that Glasgow is no match for my Sutherland." The Sutherland was released from the air and it landed in front of the red Glasgow. "Nor can an eleven ruin his highnesses plan" Slash harkens clashed against each other. The Sutherland fired at the Glasgow with its handheld assault rifle which caused the Glasgow's left arm to be hit.
"Karen, that guy's good. We both can't die here. You try and get away from here!" said her partner through radio contact.
"But-!"
At the edge of the road a Sutherland of the same came out to surprise the truck driver, out of panic he swerved the truck towards the left.
Meanwhile the red Glasgow's pilot tried to release it slash harken but it was stuck, it was harmed by the impact of the bullet it received earlier in the fight. As Sutherland was about to slice the Glasgow in half, out of survival instinct she then released the hand of the knightmare and aimed it at the enemy causing smoke to envelope them both and giving a chance to the red Glasgow to escape.
"Oh not bad at all for an eleven." commented the pilot of the Sutherland.
Inside the truck Lelouch sat there calmly assessing the situation.
"I still don't have a connection but judging from the darkness and the road we're at the subway system."
The truck driver was now seriously injured and while driving on he saw a huge hole in the floor but he did not have enough time to react which cause the truck to fall inside the pit.
On the other side, Britannian captains and other superior officers started to dispatch the soldiers.
"Now this is the time to prove your loyalty to the Britannian Empire and with this mmission accomplished it can greatly help your standing."
"Yes my Lord!"
The truck was now stuck no matter how hard the driver tries to accelerate it was futile it just wont move, since he himself was dying he decided to release the capsule the truck door opened and there is revealed what's inside and along with it is Lelouch. Apparently an Honorary Britannian soldier was there he saw the truck and the capsule he immediately reported it to his superiors, while he was scanning the area to see if there are any threats that needed to be assessed he suddenly saw Lelouch and thought that he was a terrorists, attacked him and pinned him down.
"Don't kill anymore!"
"I'm not….." Lelouch was interrupted before he was able to finish he was pushed down once more and was asked some more questions.
"Poision Gas? Don't play dumb."
Lelocuh tried to kick his captor away but was fast and had good reflexes.
"Britannian made that didn't they! If you want the killing to stop them destroy the Britannian Empire!" said Lelouch as he walked towards the light.
"Lelouch?...Its me Suzaku." as he took off his helmet to reveal his face to Leouch.
As the mask was removed Lelouch stood there and was shock, flashbacks from his past, the ones with Suzaku the time when Japan lost the Empire.
"So you became a britannian soldier."
"Yeah and you don't tell me ……"
Before Suzaku could finished talking the capsule suddenly opened and a bright light came out. Suzaku suddenly grabbed Lelouch and placed a gas mask over his face. A girl with green hair with her hands and legs tied came out.
"Suzaku are you sure this is poison gas?"
Both of them help the green haired girl and released her from the bondage she was placed in
"That's what we were told."
Suddenly his superior officers came and saw them; Suzaku tried to explain what happened but was immediately cut off.
"But since I can recognize your valor, I will give you another chance…..Kill the terrorist."
Suzaku looked at the gun that he was given and straight forwardly replied "I will not kill an innocent civilian."
Then at that point the man shot Suzaku in an unprotected area. His body slumped down and blood was spewing out of him.
The driver used his last ounce of strength and pushed a switch that caused a bomb to explode and gave Lelouch a chance to escape. He ran with the green hired girl in tow. "What are you? All of this is your fault!" Finally lelouch found an exit but the soldiers were there and shot some more people who were just by standers even a child was shot. As he thought that he can get out of this alive his phone rang and immediately the turned it off. This caught the soldiers attention which made him panic.
The uniformed man then turned his attention to Lelouch and aimed the gun at him. Crazy thoughts were running through lelouch's mind. 'Am I just going to die here, just this simple. Am I now going to leave Nunally alone and follow mother.'
As he was about to be shot the green hired girl jumped in front of him shouting 'Don't kill him!' and the bullet was shot through her head, she fell down and blood was flowing out her.
"Too bad and I wished to capture her alive. Oh well, report to our superiors that we found the terrorist and killed them all but when we arrived the hostage was already dead. How's the kid."
Lelouch kneeled down and tried to reach for her, 'first Suzaku, then his girl….. is this how I will die….Nunally!'
The supposed dead girl suddenly grabbed his arm and then there was a voice in Lelouch's head different images were flashing before him, ones that he could not understand.
'You don't want it to end do you? It would seem that you have a reason to live.'
'Impossible this voice is that girl's'
'If you had the strength, you could live. This is our contract. In return for my gift of power, you must grant one wish of mine. If you enter this contract you will live as a human, bust also as one completely different. Different rules, different time, a different life…the power of the king will make you lonely indeed. If you are prepared for that then…..'
'Very well I hereby enter this contract!'
Lelouch then stood up with new found confidence as the gun trained on him followed.
"What can shoot a student? Or have you finally learned that only those willing be shot themselves can shot others?"
Then on his left eye a bird shaped insignia came out and he gave out an order to them.
"Lelouch vi Britannia, order's you to die!"
The soldiers could not resist the command then raised their guns to their necks "Yes, Your Highness!" and pulled the trigger.
