2 months later...The Imperial Colony Of Japan...
Everyone gathered around quietly upon the streets. Down the streets came the float lead by knighmares...the one carrying the Emperor of Japan, Lelouch Vi Britannia on his royal throne. This was being broadcasted all over.
"And now, just coming into view, is the 99th and sole Emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire, his majesty Lelouch Vi Britannia. Our Emperor also carries the distinction of being CEO of the Black Knights. As well of the current chairman of the UFN Supreme Council." The news caster announced.
"And look at this too...those who foolishly opposed Emperor Lelouch are being transported to the execution grounds."
On two floats were rows of people who were locked up, alot of them being the Black Knights that were once his allies.
"During the latest great war the capital pen dragon was destroyed and countless soldiers sacrificed their lives. Among them...Sir Suzaku Kururugi the knight of Zero."
At the graveyard Suzaku's cat Arthur sat infront of his grave staring at it sadly.
On the bottom of the float where Lelouch was sat Nunnally, with her hung down sadly, her eyes closed, her hands folded infront of her. Her legs were shacked by a iron that held the chain connected to it.
"Now that the EU has gratified the united federation of nations charter. The Emperor has allowed us to complete the grand task of unifying the world. Glory to his majesty Lelouch. All hail Britannia! All hail Lelouch!"
Among the crowds of people some people grumbled.
"Glory my ass..." one guy mumbled.
"This just is just a dictatorship! Anyone who disobeys him gets killed!" another guy said.
"Shhhh! If they wrong people hear you, they'll kill your entire family!" a woman said sacredly.
Rivalz was among the crowed looked out at Lelouch sadly.
"Lelouch...is this what you wanted, what you set out to do? To control the world, to control every person in it?" he said to himself. He couldn't believe his once good friend was now the Emperor before him.
Suddenly the knightmares stopped and people gasped at what they saw next. Not to far away stood a familiar tall masked robbed figure.
"What is that?!" Some asked.
"Zero!?!" Rivalz gasped.
Nunnally looked up.
"Zero?!" she softly whispered her eyes widened.
"That's him?! But Lelouch is over there!" Kallen said confusedly looking over at him.
Lelouch looked wide eyed over at Zero.
"Was that it!? Is that was Lelouch and Suzaku had to do!?" Kallen asked herself as she quickly looked back at Zero who started to run towards them quickly.
The knightmares started to shoot at him but Zero moved and dodged every single shot they made at him. He quickly made his move jumping on and over the knightmares.
"Cease fire!" Jeremiah ordered. "I'll take care of this interloper!" he said jumping down with the blade from his arm withdrawn.
He ran towards Zero ready to attack but Zero jumped up and landed on Jeremiah's shoulder jumping back up into the air causing him to fall foward.
"Onward masked knight.." he said with a smirk.
He landed behind Schinzel, then in front of Nunnally causing her to gasp a bit in shock, but then up again now where he was suppose to be, infront of Lelouch.
"Inputted fool!" Lelouch shouted getting up grabbing his gun about ready to shoot.
Quickly withdrawing his sword Zero knocked the gun from Lelouch's hand causing it to go flying into the air. Using both his hands he got ready to the deed he was to do. Lelouch smirked.
~*~Flashback~*~
Suzaku and Lelouch were alone in a big dark throne room as they discussed on what was to happened now.
"Suzaku you have to kill me. You must promise."
"Your going through with this no matter what?" he asked.
"As planned. The hated of the whole world is now focused directly upon me. And now the only thing that remains is to get rid of me, and finally break the cycle of hatred."
Lelouch held out Zero's mask to Suzaku. He looked at it.
"The legend of Zero is in debt, it lives within the hearts of the Black Knights. Schinzel will serve Zero also. With this the world will gather not for an exchange of force, but for an exchange of open dialog around one table. Mankind will be able to move foward into the future."
Suzaku took the helmet and stared at for a moment.
"And that..." he began.
"Yes..." Lelouch replied.
"...is the Zero Requiem..."
~*~End of flashback~*~
Suzaku pulled back readying himself to kill the emperor. Nunnally down below watched eyes widened in fear. Kallen cried out in fear.
"We both realized it back in C's world, we knew how humity was longing for the future."
Lelouch laughed.
"Hey Suzaku, geass powers is similar do a wish don't you think?" he asked.
Rivalz cried out Lelouch's name from where he stood.
Milly stood up quickly rushing over to see what was going on.
"It's a request to someone to give you the power to achieve what you can't on your own."
"A wish? No.."
"Yes. And I am going to grant a wish called geass to all the people everywhere, for the future of the entire world."
Some people cried out and others turned away from the sight. C2 in the meantime was in a church praying to herself as she silently shed a tear.
"The only ones who should kill are those prepared to be killed."
Suzaku moved foward with the sword.
"Suzaku, your going to be a hero now. The messiah who save the world from Emperor Lelouch Vi Britannia, the enemy of the world, as Zero."
With that said Zero drove the sword all the way into Lelouch causing him to gasp.
Everyone was silent as the watched.
Under the mask Suzaku's emerald green eyes filled with tears as they down his cheeks.
"Lelouch..." he whispered.
"The punishment for what you have done shall be this then.." Lelouch whispered resting his head against Zero's shoulder as he fell foward.
"You will live on. Always wearing that mask serving as knight for justice and truth." lifting up his hand covered in his blood he placed it on the side of the mask. "You will no longer live your life as Suzaku Kururugi. You shall sacrifice the ordinary pleasures of your life for the benefit of the world, for eternity..."
"This geass...I do solemnly accept." he said through his tears pulling out the sword from Lelouch.
Lelouch stumbled foward before falling over and slid down the float leaving a trail of blood as he did so and lading right infront of Nunnally her eyes wide in fear.
"Lelouch.." she softly called out to him. "Are you...?"
Saying nothing he layed there.
Nunnally gasped and reached to take hold of his bloodstained hand. But when she did she could see everything that had happened. Her eyes widened more.
"You mean...everything you've done, until now..."
Lifting up his hand she nuzzled into it starting to cry.
"Oh big brother...I love you!" she cried.
"Yes...I..." he whispered.
"Lelou be still, there is nothing you need say, it can wait." She said softly.
The pain was blinding to her. Lelouch could barely speak, but there his sister was looking at him with her beautiful light purple eyes in concern.
"Nunna our mother's calling me..." He said forcing himself to speak wither his body wanted him to or not.
Nunnally started to cry a bit more as she held tighter to his hand.
"Sometimes I wanted to cry, when the people on TV were not quite the way we were. Somehow I guess I just knew. she lightly stroked his hair lovingly with her other hand.
"But I didn't know I love you so much, I didn't know I love you so much, I didn't know I love you so much, but I do."
Lelouch gasped out again softly he was losing alot of blood and getting weaker by the minute.
"Sometimes I'd stay up all night, wishing to god, that I was the one who died, but sometimes there's not enough time.." he almost hesitated to say it but he felt that he needed to and it would be his last chance to do so.
"But I didn't know I love you so much, I didn't know I love you so much, I didn't know I love you so much but I do." He said lifting his hand to lightly stroke away the tears that were now falling more freely down Nunnally's cheeks.
"I didn't know I love you so much." Nunnally cried.
"I didn't know I love you so much." Lelouch weakly replied.
"I didn't know I love you so much but I do." they both said to each other.
"Nunna go..." he whispered in an almost inaudible tone.
"Lelou I will not leave you here you will live." Nunnally said now sobbing even more.
"But you've already saved me dear. Now go and change the world for me." he told her his hand starting to slip from her cheek. His eyes starting to close his vison was getting more and more blurry as darkness set in on him.
She shook her head slightly, but he knew that she would do what he told her. She finally had the chance to go out in the world. That is what Lelouch wanted...he wanted to see Nunnally be in a world of peace, not war and violence.
"And we will always have each other, in our time of need."
"Lelou your the world to me."
"Nunna your the world to me." they said together one last time.
"Nunna.." he whispered one last time before his eyes closed and his body went completely limp and the last bit of his life drained from his body and he was engulfed in the dark. But he died smiling knowing that his sister could live on a peaceful life.
