Invader Designia: This is a rather short chapter. But we wanted to end it when it ended. For reasons you'll know when you read it.

C.C. Vi Britannia: Yeah! And, we are sorry for the lateness. Two people reviewed. The first day, actually....And we did write it! But then the power went out and everything was lost....

Invader Designia: So, of course, we had major tests in each class the next few days. Isn't fate nice? For all of you who have read Leven Thumps, I'd like to say this: Geth may be my favorite character, but he is much to obsessed with Fate. Fate is a cruel thing. It really is.

C.C. Vi Britannia: (Nods furiously)

Invader Designia: Since this chapter took so long, just review and we'll try to get one up tomorrow! Thursday at the latest!

Lelouch: Are you going to start the story yet?
Invader Designia & C.C. Vi Britannia: NOT IF YOU ASK THAT WAY, LULU!

Lelouch: (sigh) Fine.......Will the Great and Wonderful Authors Who Will Beat Me In Every Single Physical Sport Created, PLEASE start the story? (under his breath) So I don't have to endure the pain any longer....

Invader Designia and C.C. Vi Britannia: OKAY LULU-CHAN!!!

Lelouch was beginning to wonder where Designia was. He was about to go and look for her when he saw a hysterical Lindsey running towards him.

"Hey! Lindsey!" Lelouch called to her.

"Lulu!" Lindsey started yelling a string of gibberish.

"Slow down, Lindsey. I can't do anything if I don't know what you're saying!"

Lindsey took a few deep breaths and began. "Suzie-chan came and walked over to us and Designia started to walk somewhere-she was real upset 'bout somefin. Then Suzu said something to her, which made her real scared. Then she used her Geass, but Suzaku went right in front of her and stopped her. Then he tied her up so fast I could barley see his hands!! Next, he ran after me, but I used my Geass on some people so that they would hold him off. Eventually, I lost him and came here because I eavesdropped a few days ago when you asked Des on date here!"

"What would make Suzaku do that? I though him and Des were close...Both being Knights of The Round...."

A memory locked very deep with Lindsey opened. Along with a few old wounds.
"V.V........" she whispered.

"Hm?"

"V.V....I know where they're going. Come on!" Lindsey grabbed Lelouch's hand and dragged him towards a car.

Designia

Desingia's eyes slowly opened. She couldn't move. At first she panicked, then her training kicked in.

Assess the situation before ANY actions...

She opened her eyes a fraction of a second. Dim light filtered through her eyelashes. She could make out a steering wheel.....and a dashboard. I'm in a car. she concluded. She could feel her arms securely behind her back, and could see white. Most likely a straitjacket.

"How much further?" a voice asked, which sounded a LOT like Suzie-chan's.

"We....are here." Said a man with a thick accent that Designia couldn't identify.

The car started to slow, then it stopped in front of what looked to be nothing. But then a stair way appeared out of the ground.

"You take the girl." the man commanded.

Designia could feel herself being lifted out of what she guessed to be the back seat. She felt herself hastily dragged somewhere, then cold steel pressed against her. She opened her eyes again, and saw that they were going down the stairs. She saw this as a good opportunity, and leaped out of Suzaku's grip, instantly kicking him across the jaw. He nearly fell, but grabbed the railing for support. Designia then turned to take car of the other man she had heard, but he was already behind her and saw through her actions. The man grabbed her arm and threw her down. Suzu binded her legs and grabbed her.

Then Designia recognized the stairs. Brief memories flashed in her head...Screams..Blond hair smacking her in the face..Falling down the stairs with another...Men clad in robes restraining them..Everything she'd worked so hard to forget.

"S-Suzaku...I can't believe you'd do this! I thought we were friends!!" Designia cried.

"You're a Black Knight. I have no choice but to turn you in. I was told to escort you here. I know not it's name, but I'm sure you aren't being let off with a warning."
"Suzaku....Did you forget? When I met you years ago....Me and Lindsey..All those times we spent together!"
"Be....quiet." Suzaku whispered.

Lindsey and Lulu-kun

Lindsey directed Lelouch to the one place she'd sworn to never go. But she'd also sworn to protect Designia. At all costs...Even if it meant missing a Teletubbies rerun on T.V. And that was saying something. Lindsey was very grumpy if she didn't get to see Twinky Winky! But, she had to save Designia first. Because she was her friend! And because Teletubbies didn't come on until 8:00 anyway.....

Lindsey ordered Lulu to take a left, then he argued that there was no left. And she yelled back telling him there was something called four-wheel drive. Then, finally, four flat tires later, they could see the tip of a staircase peeking out from under the ground. Underneath it was building as large as a city. Lelouch's and Lindsey's left eyes began to glow red with Geass. Printed on the side was a string of letters. Which alone send a chill down Lindsey's spine, and made her brain command her to run.

The Geass Directorate

Invader Designia: So. That's it for now. Here are the pairings recommended:
LuluxDesignia

LuluxC.C.

DesigniaxSuzu

LindseyxLulu

LindseyxGino

Me and C.C. Vi Britannia talked and are thinking of something like this:
LindseyxSuzu

DesigniaxSuzu

DesigniaxLulu

DesigniaxGino

We think it would be fun to have Suzie-chan, Lulu-kun, and Gino-chan fighting for Designia, and Lindsey vying for Suzu, and maybe add a few more into it. Make it a little more exciting. Of course, we are consulting with our WONDERFUL REVIEWERS first. Tell us what you think.

C.C. Vi Britannia: YES! TELL US!

Invader Designia: Now...if you would just press that little button down there....The one that says Review this story/chapter. It even in little green letters. All pretty just for you.
