A/N: Alright time for the next chapter. First I'd like to thank all the people who reviewed and would also like to curse all the people who didn't, take that non reviewers! Also as some of you have mentioned, the story as of now has no plot, this is because the first few chapters were meant as a prologue, the reason I didn't call ch.1 "prologue" is because I didn't know how to name the first chapter when you create the story (which has been renamed now). Anyway this chapter will also be a prologue. Some of you may hate me after the first part of this chapter, but please stow you pitch forks and torches for after you've finished reading the chapter. On with the story!

Flashback (3 days after completion of Zero Requiem)

Kallen was just sitting on her bed with her knees huddled to her chest, 'Lelouch, why…' she thought as a knock came on her door. She shouted at her apartment door, "I don't want to talk right now, I already told you that Ougi." Ougi had come periodically to her apartment to see how she was doing.

"It's not Ougi, and I do think you'll want to talk to me right now," said a very conceited voice. Kallen was immediately shocked out of her stupor 'What the hell is she doing here?' thought Kallen viciously. Kallen walked to the door and unlocked then opened it. "Why, hello Kallen," said C.C. as she ushered herself in and sat on Kallen's couch.

"What the hell do you want?" Kallen spat out.

"I'm only here on business, and as a messenger," C.C. replied coolly despite her distaste for the girl.

"What business could you possibly have with me?" Kallen ask curiosity obviously perked.

"I'll give you the message before we get down to business," C.C. said as she pulled out a DVD-like disk from one of her seemingly nonexistent pockets. C.C. then asked "Do you have a player?" referring to the disk in her hand.

"Yeah, it's under the TV," Kallen said pointing to the other end of the room.

"Perfect," said C.C. as she walked to the player and inserted the disk, and turning on the TV. Within a matter of seconds the royal seal of Britannia appeared on the screen. "It's best if we close the blinds," C.C. said before closing all the blinds in the small apartment. C.C. then hit play on the player's remote; an image of Lelouch appeared on the screen.

"Hello Kallen," said Lelouch, "the Zero Requiem, as I call it, is only the first stage of my grand plan. For the plan to proceed into stage two, I have to make a request to you. Will you accept a geass from C.C.? If you need some time to decide, you should pause the video now." Kallen nearly dropped to the floor upon hearing Lelouch's final request to her.

"I… uh I…" Kallen said as she sat on her thighs and knees*.

"It's fine, if you need more time I can come back later," said C.C. in an uncharacteristically soothing voice.

"No, no just give me a moment," said Kallen as she slowly composed herself. C.C. smirked, 'wow I didn't expect just the soothing voice that Lelouch told me to use would have such an impact…' Kallen took a deep breath and said, "C.C. I accept your geass, but only because its Lelouch's last request."

"Perfect," C.C. said as she walked up to Kallen, standing only a foot away.

"So, uh, how does this work?" Kallen asked with a quizzical look on her face. Before C.C. answered Kallen could feel herself tripping out, 'what the? 'Thought Kallen as she could hear C.C.'s voice coming from somewhere in her mind. 'I offer you a contract. If you accept I shall grant you power, but in return you must one day fulfill one wish of mine. Do you accept?' Kallen could feel herself shudder but mentally replied ' yes I accept the terms of your contract.' Kallen then could feel herself returning to her body, she also felt a peculiar tingle in her left eye. With that C.C. left without saying a word to Kallen.

Not one day later Kallen was found dead in her apartment, there was no sign of a struggle but upon later investigation, they discovered that she had all of her internal organs turned to mush. Assassination was the only explanation.


Present

C.C. just finished giving Kallen her second geass when Lelouch suddenly collapsed to the floor clutching his left eye, screaming in pure agony. He continued to scream as he convulsed and writhed on the ground. C.C. called over some of the medical personnel of the cult to see what was happening with Lelouch. All they did was inject Lelouch with 30mg** of morphine, which didn't help in the slightest as Lelouch let out another bloodcurdling scream. As he did so, the fingers on the hand that was coving his eye parted allowing C.C. and Kallen to see what was happening with Lelouch's eye. It wasn't pretty. His old permanent geass was pulsating and glowing insanely bright to the point of emitting large beams of light, while the younger new geass was slowly spinning from an upright position like a normal geass to an upside down position***, as it was spinning it was slowly cutting up Lelouch's eye as its etched itself over and over again. By now the second geass had already spread to Lelouch's other eye and was repeating the cycle, causing both of his eyes start bleeding profusely, all the while Lelouch just continued to scream in ungodly anguish. As Lelouch's second geass finally settled into its new position, is old geass which was emitting an even larger amount of light, started to leach the younger geass's power, making it grow brighter as the afflicted one grew dimmer as it weakened. By now the medical personnel had already shot Lelouch with enough tranquilizers to drop a herd of elephants, but from the supernatural pain and anguish his new geass caused him it went completely unnoticed. Just as the action in Lelouch's eyes died down Kallen collapsed to the ground her new geass doing the same thing as Lelouch's. Lelouch was about to drift into unconscious when Kallen looked directly at him her original geass shot off into the core of Lelouch's brain which then caused him to start the cycle of shrieking and screaming all over again, but this time both Kallen and Lelouch screamed at the same times. When the geasses Kallen had settled down, at least for now, both Kallen and Lelouch slipped into unconsciousness. As the whole spectacle took place C.C. could only watch on in horror of the pain they must be feeling.

Several days later, Kallen and Lelouch both woke up from their pain induced coma, only to find a horde of scientists from the geass cult assaulting them with questions and test equipment. Thankfully C.C. arrived to their rescue a few moments later, "Lelouch, Kallen, how are you feeling?"

"Ok now," replied both Kallen and Lelouch simultaneously. They looked at each other and again simultaneously said "dude! We did it again!" they then blurted out in unison "Rakshata secretly loves Lloyd!"

C.C. just stood there with a blank look on her face at the random crap the two just kept spewing out in perfect unison, "ENOUGH!" shouted C.C. when she finally had reached her limit. This outburst stopped Lelouch and Kallen's exchanges as they turned to look at her. "We need to run some tests to see what having two incredibly powerful geasses at once will do to your body, there have been others in the past that had two geasses but they never had that incident happen to them, probably because both the geasses they wielded were abnormally weak. The preliminary testing shows that both of your geasses by nature are abnormally strong, we're currently not sure what kind of toll that's going to take on your bodies, but judging by how they reacted earlier I wouldn't use them until we know the consequences."

"C.C. do you think that one of our geasses is causing us to say the same thing at the same time?" Kallen asked C.C.

"There's a high probability that one of your geasses has been activated subconsciously, and is working at a very small fraction of its power if you were to use it intentionally." C.C. replied thinking it over. C.C. left telling them that she would investigate it more, but not much light would be shed on the matter until the in-depth testing was done. The cult scientists began their tests on the two after C.C. had left, what they showed hyped up, freaked out, and intrigued the scientists all at once. They put a call through to C.C.

"Madam C.C. you're not going to believe this…"

A/N: *she was sitting with her shins on their side and sort of out stretched, kind of like how girls in anime fall to a sitting position in defeat or something like that (if that made sense, lol)**this is the maximum amount of morphine the average person can take without respritory issues. ***the position of jeremiah's geass sigil on his geass canceller. Anyway I hope no one hates me for having Kallen assassinated, can you guess what one of her geasses is? And I would like to mention that the reason Kallen was required to obtain a geass was so that she could be differentiated from the other billions of 'souls' in the world of C. If you think about how the matter construction engine (mce) works C.C. had to go to the world of C. and fetch the souls of Lelouch and Kallen, so my reasoning is that without geass you meld completely with the world of C. beyond recognition when you die without something to act as a beacon, geass. So this also worked out to make it impossible for anyone without a geass to be revived this way, sorry folks, Shirley and Euphie won't make an appearance in this fic (at least alive). Please R&R, really it's not that hard!
