Chapter#: Lelouch's Revival, Flare's payment

"NO BIG BROTHER DON'T LEAVE ME!!" said Nunnally as she clinged to her brother's dyeing corpse

"Don't worry princess, I shall not let anyone die today, however as he has crossed into the next realm, what would you be willing to pay? What would you give to save Lelouch?" asked a voice that seemed to come from everywhere even the ground itself

"Anything, my life, my soul, my body!" said Nunnally and then laughter sounded it was a cheerful and hearty laughter

"Good answer, I Flare, master of Darkness, command the souls of the lost, All of them from the beginning of the great war to this point, I Command you all… TO RETURN!!" said Flare and a dark shape appeared in on the float(?) carrying them and beams of darkness flew from the dark body and there was cries of joy and then a roar of anger

"KILL HER SHE WANTS THAT MURDERER TO LIVE!!" came from the crowd

"I command you to HALT! I who am beyond the power of Geass and beyond the grasp of death shall be in command here!" said Flare as he appeared standing beside Suzaku who was in the suit of Zero tried to slice Flare in half, "Come now trying to kill the one who will leave soon?" asked Flare and the crowd stopped it's rioting and looked at Flare, "I am Flare, Master of Darkness but I just broke the rules and I will pay my punishment, however, I place this curse upon Lelouch, those who try to harm him, those who try to kill him shall pay seven fold like that of Cain" said Flare as Lelouch sat up he went wide eyed when he saw he was not dead

"Who are you?! Speak! I Command you!" said Lelouch as he activated his Geass only to feel a sharp pang in his eyes

"Who I am is none of your concern, two people who care for you offered their all just to bring you back, The girl C.C. and your sister Nunnally, however that wasn't enough for the reviver of this dimension so I decided to intervene on behalf of them-" started Flare when Nunnally looked up at him

"Then what do you want in return Master of Darkness?" asked Nunnally and Flare smiled softly

"Nothing"

"Wha-?" she started

"I had to know the true depth of your devotion to he who has shouldered the hatred of the world" said Flare and then the world stopped everyone even those at home were glued to their TVs, "I wish I could honestly have stopped the war before it had happened however I cannot change the natural order of things, that is the most basic rule in Dimension traveling, something I hope one day you will achieve to share what you have learned, and to safe guard those who cannot fight for themselves" said Flare and then someone spoke up

"So you were supposed to bring everyone back then?"

"No and as such I will pay the price, I maybe immortal, but I still feel pain, I still feel love, sorrow, life at it's fullest, I have yet to know tha-" said Flare

"Most impressive Flare, perhaps you will not be as predictable as I thought!" said a voice one filled with naught but evil intent

"TWILIGHT!" said Flare his once soft features now a scorn of hatred and anger

"Yes Flare, and perhaps maybe I can make this game fun, you know more pieces to play with and all" said the voice and there was a collective gasp

"Twilight, you shall DIE!" said Flare as he literaling sank into the float and then reappeared with a sword pressing against the blade of another sword, "DIE! AND STOP TORMENTING ME WITH THEM! WITH THEIR IMAGES!!" said Flare his anger now fueled to the overflowing point he slashed through a KnightMare as Twilight dodged it

"Come now, Flare, I thought you promoted peace, not violence" said Twilight and Flare, though in the throes of anger, smiled

"Anger is apart of life, however killing millions!? Showing me the face of the ones I loved?!" said Flare as his attacks against Twilight grew faster and far more powerful

"I see you are not in the mood to talk, Light engolf him and torment his darkened soul" said Twilight and Flare bearly dodged the attack

"Fire BURN HIM DOWN!" said Flare and a blast of flame burst forth from Flare as the KnightMares moved the 'Emperor' out of the field of battle

"So Elements is it? Will then I guess I'll just have to douse you" said Twilight

"What!?" said Flare as suddenly water flew at him

"If that is how it is fine! Lightning! Strike the Heart!" yelled Flare and just like the fire, a blast of pure untainted electricity flew at Twilight only for it to be blocked by-

"NO! Nunnally!" said Lelouch and Flare's eyes though already black grew cold

"I now see what you mean by more pieces to play with, to afraid to fight your own battles then? BLADE OF DARKNESS I SUMMON THEE TO MY AID, COME FORTH! INCRISH" said Flare as a blade burst from the ground magnificent in design it held extreme value if someone was to actually examine it

'Incredible is this what a god is like?' thought Lelouch and Flare turned to him

"I am no god, only a servant of such" said Flare before turning back to Twilight

"Incrish, that accursed blade is it? Well then it is only fair that I wield it's- ARGH!" said Twilight as a sword appeared in a beam of light yet when Twilight touched it he dropped in pain, "Why?! Why is it you can wield Incrish can I cannot wield it's brother Excalibur?" asked Twilight

"Because Twilight, you are not holy and Excalibur is a holy blade, the holy blade of the light" said Flare as he walked up to Twilight

"Fine! So be it! I'll beat you with my Keyeater!" said Twilight as he attacked Flare who dodged and then threw out his arm and a shape started to appear, "I don't think so Flare!" said Twilight as he suddenly stabbed Flare through the chest, "Die you pathetic excuse for-" said Twilight before he noticed that he was also stabbed

"It seems this is a draw Twilight, however I win in the end, SHADOWED HEART!" said Flare and Nunnally was revived and Flare smiled as his body while falling to the ground disappeared

"Thank you Flare" said Lelouch and Flare smiled a little cheerier

"Don't thank me, just protect those important to you, even Shirley, those three really do love you" said Flare as his face disappeared and thus both Twilight and Flare were sealed out of that dimension

--

"Tell me Flare do you really think we are going to leave this dimension's fabric stay as torn as it is because of you?" asked someone as Flare walked through the World Between and he smiled

"Of course, you have many other worlds of Lelouch's and even that of Naruto's to mess with don't you, Writers of the Book of Ages?"
