It was already dark yet the Student Council is still busy making preparations for the School Festival tomorrow.
Kallen is simply signing the events held by the different organizations, Rivalz doing some president work (and by president work, meaning having crazy ideas), Gino plotting something with Rivalz, Anya taking a picture of the meeting and Lelouch sat beside Kallen helping with the paperwork.
And in one click, Anya, the Knight of Six; took a picture of the student council meeting.
There was mere silence in the room. Gino and Rivalz have been whispering their ideas, telling the others, it was "TOP SECRET." The place just seemed so serene and with the fresh cold air of the night to make it relaxing.
Suddenly, the door to the student council's room opened. A girl with black hair and a pair of eyeglasses stepped in. She was wearing her usual clothes and she was holding her laptop.
Without looking at the student council members, she said "I'm sorry I'm late... Empress Nunnally asked me to pass the anti-F.L.E.I.J.A. theory to them." She said as she sat on the couch. She looked very tired and exhausted...
"Oh I see..." Rivalz said. "Empress Nunnally's having a great job at keeping world peace, eh?" Kallen added.
Still not looking directly at them, Nina replied "Yes, she is indeed doing well. But without her brother, this would've never been possible."
Lelouch simply smirked at the girl. "Once she sees me here, I expect she will be shocked and she will try to kill me at once... that would be enough time to cast a geass on her like what I did with the others." He thought.
"Oi Lelouch, finish that page already." Kallen said with an irritated voice. "Lelouch?" Nina questioned Kallen.
Kallen simply didn't reply. "Lelouch, Kallen?" Nina said. Kallen is still not replying back to her.
Nina looked directly at the table where the Student Council members were. There is Kallen, Rivalz, Gino, Anya and Lelouch... LELOUCH!?
"LELOUCH!?" she shouted. Slowly, she had come to her sane self. "I thought you're already DEAD! This is for Princess EUPHEMIA!" She grabbed her Britannian pistol which was inside her bag and pointed it at Lelouch.
"Nina, it isn't nice to point a gun at the vice-president." Gino said. "Wow, wow. Gino is somehow polite. You geassed him didn't you!?" Nina said accusingly. Lelouch just sat there smirking.
"Nina, put the gun down, just help us with the work." Kallen told her. "Oh look, now the Ace of the Black Knights is not being superficial to Lelouch eh?" Nina said that and released an insane laugh. With the gun still pointing at Lelouch she eyed him saying "I will destroy you, kill you if I have to. Death is the only forgiveness. For Princess Euphemia! HAHAHAHA!"
Sadly, Nina's insane self has taken over her. If she's in her normal self, she would've thought twice before trying to kill Lelouch. To her normal self, Lelouch is a savior... the world's savior. To her sane self, he is Zero, the murderer of Princess Euphemia.
As she was about to pull the trigger, Lelouch did his signature style. He removed his contact lens at once and ordered "Lelouch vi Britannia commands you, Nina Einstein, you must forget all your memories with Emperor Lelouch, F.L.E.I.J.A. and Princess Euphemia for this week."
A bird shaped thing appeared both at Lelouch's eyes.
"G-Geass Sigil?" Nina said "N-No! I will not be geassed.. no.. princess Euphemia! My goddess! Euphie-"
"Yes your majesty." Nina with a tint of red on both of her eyes said so.
"You do like putting geass on people do you?" C.C. stepped inside the room. "This is the best I could do to spend time with my friends without them knowing I survived. Geass is more of a curse than a gift." Lelouch sadly explained.
"We need to talk." C.C. said in her most serious tone.
"Nina, can you take my paperwork here and help Kallen? I have some other important businesses." He asked Nina. "Sure." Nina gladly agreed on it.
Lelouch stood up and offered his seat to Nina. Nina then sat and began to work with Kallen. As Rivalz, still there sketching some sort-of idea for tomorrow and Gino narrating how the idea would work and Anya typing something on her diary while eating some oranges, he left the room with C.C.
Out of earshot, he said "I'm sorry for casting geass on you, everyone."
At the gardens outside of the Student Council building...
"What do you want?" he bluntly asked C.C. as he sat on a stone bench.
"It's about the time loop..." C.C. told him. She sat beside him as well.
"What is it this time?" he asked.
"You've been repeating the same year over and over again. Are you not tired of it?"
"Of course I am. I've tried to escape this wretched loop. But you did say there's only one way out." He said.
"Unfortunately, that one way out is very difficult to do." She replied.
"What loop are we in now?" he asked.
"We are on the 15th loop. Your 15th year." She said. "Because of the loop, time simply had some 'errors' in it. You can geass everyone within any range and you can do that again to the same person." She added.
"Tell me C.C... why did this happened to me?" He asked.
"Because you have the immortal's code. The one you inherited from Charles. Despite his anger, he knew that you would be a great Code Bearer but his code was corruptly transferred to you. It ended up as a code that allows oneself to live on a time loop." She said.
"Since the day that the Zero Requiem almost succeeded, the day I was supposed to die, my immortality took action and the loop began. Am I right?" he asked.
"Correct. Brilliant as ever."
"Why did you bring me here then?" he asked.
"To enjoy the cool air. The loop ends tomorrow and it will repeat again. I want to spend the last of my memories with you. Then, my memories will be washed away by time again. My immortality allows me to live through eternity. But yours, Lelouch, is different. It allows you to defy time." she answered.
"I want to spend this moment with you, Lelouch." She whispered to him."Before once again, my memories will be washed. Disappeared as such... and pizza will lose its eater once again."
"Hahahaha.." Lelouch laughed at her gluttony.
"Lelouch, there's something I've failed to tell you for the past 15 loops." C.C. said.
"What is it?"
"In the world of C, rulers and leaders exist." She said.
Lelouch's eyes widened with shock. I thought the world of C was nothing but a world filled with unconscious equal thoughts. He thought.
"Rulers? Leaders?"
"The world of C is a pathway that connects your universe to another universe." C.C. said. "This single year and your soul and memories are removed from our universe and were transferred to another one."
"Transferred?" he asked.
"Lelouch, we are in another universe where time repeats every 365 ΒΌ days and you have complete memory of it. Dimentia and Timione, two of the rulers of the world of C, are responsible for this." C.C. said.
"Dimentia and Timione?" Lelouch asked.
C.C. just yawned. "Just ask the me in the 16th loop. I want to enjoy my final moments." C.C. said.
She fell asleep on Lelouch's shoulder.
"Dimentia and Timione?" Lelouch wondered who they are or why did they send him here. If his code was corrupted, then why here?
"Lulu!" Shirley's voice came from behind.
SHIRLEY!? Lelouch thought. She's supposed to be dead by now!
Shirley with her translucent body came. "Lulu, are you going to help us with the work or not?" Shirley asked.
"This loop has more errors than the last one." He said, still completely freaked out with Shirley's ghost.
