A/N:

kd: Alright! So this is where the real story begins and I bring in my OC Geass user! I apologize for Lelouch being slightly out of character, I'm doing this slightly on purpose, too. And I hope some of you review! I'm really also putting this up as an expiriment because this is my first Code Geass story. So I need all of your guy's opinions! And please don't just review to tell me to keep writing. If you found any part of this story to be funny, boring, shocking, stupid, just tell me so I can become a better writer!

Euphie: Yes, please review!

kd: Alright, there you heard, Princess Euphie want you to review!

L2 was walking around Tokyo, just walking around, he must have walked every inch of the Tokyo settlement by now. But what else was there to do? He walked through dark alley ways and into shady warehouses, just to pass the time. And with every step he climbed deeper and deeper in thought. He almost didn't notice the small girl weeping on the crate as he continued walking through the empty warehouse. But the cries of the young girl echoed off the concrete walls making, the haunting sound of injustice and pain. L2 ran to the girl who was weeping but froze in place as he saw what was in her hand.

The girl was staring down at the floor, her light brown hair flowing down like a curtain that covered her face from the cruel world. In her shaking hand was an injection instrument, in the injection instrument there was a clear bottle with what looked like liquid bronze. L2 recognized it immediately.

It was the ultimate pleasure drug, but instead of warping the reality in front of you, it gave you a completely new reality, a whole new world, a world in which you can do whatever you want to and all your wildest dreams come true. But the more people try to escape to this fake life, the worse their real life becomes, as refrain is extremely addictive and also doesn't come cheap. It also has a high death rate as most of the people addicted to it die within the first three weeks of regularly using refrain.

What do I do? I can't just knock the bottle out of her hand nor can I just call the police, she'll have injected herself by then. But I can't just stand here and watch. I…I left this world so things like this wouldn't happen anymore, dammit, I won't just stand here and watch as a little girl tries to ruin her short end! "Wait, stop!" L2 said as he made himself visible.

"How…how did you get in? No one's supposed to be here right now."

"If no one's supposed to be here right now, what are you doing here?"

"I could ask the same of you."

"I'm here because I'm a tourist."

"A tourist of abandoned warehouses?"

"Why is a little girl trying to use refrain?"

Nina flinched, "It's none of your business."

"It's in every way my business."

"Wait a minute…you're that guy who bought me ice cream at the park, aren't you?"

"Well, yes."

"I have a question for you."

"I'm not going to answer anything until you break the bottle."

Nina ignored this remark, "What was wrong with the money you gave me?"

"What do you mean." L2 said, trying to stall her.

"I couldn't feel it in my hands, I could see it but there was nothing in my hands. No matter how I fidgeted with it, it continued to look like real money, but feel like thin air."

"So?"

"So, was the money real or not? Was it supposed to be a new dollar they were comeing out with, one that felt like thin air?"

"Yes, they're now making super light money, so that people can carry more of it." L2 said with a hint of sarcasm. Nina glared at him, annoyed that he was making up things that didn't exist, just to avoid the question.

"Oh well, once I inject myself, I'll be too drugged to have to listen to your cruel jokes."

"Wait!"

"What?"

"If…if you're trying to inject yourself then…you feel like there's something missing in your life?"

"I didn't know you were a therapist, too." Nina said with venom in her voice.

"I'm not but I…I remember once being in your position. I think I've been close to injecting myself."

"I have neither need nor desire for your empathy."

"I can give you what you want in your life, actually, I can help you get it."

"What do you mean?"

"I can grant you a power…"

"What kind of power?"

"The power of kings."

"Could you please give me a straight answer, for once?"

"It's called Geass, and I can't really tell you what yours would be able to do, not until you've accepted a contract."

"A con—" Nina fell silent as she looked into L2's eyes. Her vision of the world lost color and appeared to be a black and white negative. 'The power of the kings…GEASS!', Nina heard L2's voice echo in her mind. 'Are you ready to accept this power? You will achieve your current goal and rise above all, yet somewhere along the line, you will lose all of your humanity…are you ready to give up what makes you human?'

Nina was starting to make out something in her current other-worldly vision. It was a sunny day and it looked like a parade was going, but no one seemed happy or cheerful about this. Nor was it a normal parade, Nina could only see one float, which was heavily guarded by knightmares and soldiers. War knightmares? Nina thought, I thought all of the war knightmares left were either destroyed or in museums.

Nina was starting to get a closer look at the one float. Haunting music blared from the hidden stereos on and around the float. There was a dead silence among the enormous crowd. Nina could see a person sitting on a throne on the top of the parade float. When she looked closer she realized it was the same person she was making a contract with.

He was dressed in a white robe, which appeared as black in Nina's negative vision. She could see the smug grin on his face as he looked down upon the entire world, so high and mighty. Nina felt an anger burn inside her, who does this guy thing he is? She wanted to wipe that grin off his face once and for all, what Nina didn't know was that someone else would do it for her.

Up ahead she could gasps from the crowd. A sound that echoed through the streets and broke the dreaded silence. Nina looked toward the direction of the commotion. She could see a man running toward the float. The soldiers signaled to stop the float as they prepared to fight against coming enemy. There was no way this man would be able to survive if he kept running at them. They had knightmares and guards all over the place. My eyes widened in fear, not for me, but for the man.

As the man continued his advance I could now see his snow white cape billowing behind him as he ran at an almost untraceable speed. The knightmares tried shooting at him but he dodged all of their bullets and simply jumped over the approaching soldiers. "You fool!" The emperor yelled as he pulled out a gun which was quickly knocked out of his hand by Zero.

I tried to close my eyes, but I was forced to watch as Zero pushed his sword strait through the man's midsection. White specs of blood flew up out of his cheast and flew across the dark, inky sky, as if there was snow flying from his wound. The man leaned against Zero and it seemed as if they were talking for a bit, then Zero pulled out his sword as the man limped and slid down to the lower level where a girl layed there, chained. There were cheers from the crowd as they saw the tyrant slowly die, people started chanting Zero's name as his slave girl held his hand and cried. Though the streets were full of noise for some reason I could pick out what the small girl was saying, "Lelouch! Open your eye! Brother, how can I look forward to tomorrow if I won't be able to share it with you?"

The vision went white and then I was standing in a white abyss with Lelouch standing across from me, "Are you ready for such a power? If you accept then you will have to fulfill your side of the deal by granting me my deepest wish, are we clear?"

"Lelouch vi Britannia, by the terms of your contract, I accept!"
