Area 11, Tokyo Settlement, Viceroy's Palace
-Throne Room-
August 13 2017 a.t.b
7:30 PM, Friday
Two guards inside the throne room slowly opened the large cedar door upon seeing the Knight of Two outside through the use of the peeping hole. He told them that the emperor has summoned him. With the door now fully opened Suzaku steps inside the room and walks towards the emperor who patiently waited for him. The six lights inside the huge high ceilinged room are active since the emperor called Suzaku. This time there were no other people in the room but him, the emperor and the guards at the door.
"I have come fulfilling your summoning, Your Majesty." Suzaku knelt in front of the emperor, showing respect to the most powerful man on the empire he serves.
Deciding not to waste more time the emperor immediately went straight to the reason why he summoned Kururugi.
"Suzaku Kururugi." he said not removing his eyes on the young man. "Just yesterday we have managed to obtain information regarding the JLF from him, though small, it's useful enough other than get nothing. As a threat to Britannia he must be killed to weaken and demoralize the JLF, As Knight of Two I summoned you here to carry his execution." He said. Suzaku is slightly shocked but immediately hid it. He's going to kill his mentor, but he knew that he must follow the order so he can earn the emperor's trust to possibly fulfil his belief.
"When shall it be carried?" Suzaku asked
"The same place where terrorists are executed, the city square. The time of the execution is still undecided but I will inform you about it, that's all for now Kururugi. You may go."
The Knight of Two rose from his current posture and walked back to the opened door.
-Hallway-
On his way to his room, Suzaku stopped walking when he heard a certain voice he knows call his name from behind. Turning around he sees his only friend after 7 years of separation, he will never forget that black raven hair and purple eyes.
"It's good to see you again Suzaku." Lelouch said.
"Good to see you again Lelouch." a smile was made on his face. "It has been seven years since we last met."
Lelouch looks at the lad's eyes with a question in his mind. "Suzaku, were you the one who piloted the Lancelot and saved that APC containing my sisters."
"Yes Lelouch I am, why did you ask?" he asked.
"I want to thank you for rescuing them especially my sister Nunnally."
Suzaku seems to be surprised by this revelation. He didn't know that Nunnally was with princess Euphemia because he was occupied in dealing with the beast, who he was keeping busy so they can escape.
"N-N-Nunnally was there!?" he is still in surprised "h-how is she, is she hurt?"
"She's not hurt nor injured Suzaku, in fact this morning she along with Rai went to Britannia so she can start her duties as the Head of the Senate." Lelouch spoke in disgust every time he mentions the silver haired boy's name, showing that he clearly disliked the boy.
"Who's Rai?" asked Suzaku.
"My sister's 'knight in shining armour' that I don't want to be in a romantic relationship with her." Lelouch really planned to separate him from Nunnally but was foiled by his mother.
"So he's both Nunnally's guardian and future boyfriend." Suzaku teases Lelouch due to his overprotective nature for his sister.
"Only guardian, I'm not allowing the other one to happen. . . yet." Lelouch's purple eyes glare at Suzaku who only responded with a chuckle. He was annoyed by what he said.
"You really need to remove that sister complex of yours." Suzaku suggested to his friend as he kept that smile in his face. This caused Lelouch to let out a sigh, thinking on giving it a try.
"Anyway I need to get going. Bye Suzaku." Lelouch turned back and started walking away from his friend.
-Viceroy's Office-
8:30 PM
Just after eating at the dining hall with his family, Charles immediately heads to the Viceroys office after being contacted by his brother. Pushing the door slowly, he saw his brother seated on top of the table with his elbows and head resting on his knees and palms respectively and his eyes were are slightly closed for waiting too long.
"At last you arrived Charles I've been waiting for about minutes since I talked to you."
Charles slowly closed the door so no one can hear any of their conversation.
"Why did you called me?" he immediately asked.
"The vi Britannias have returned from what I've heard, how are they after these years?"
Charles grimaced at his brother, he will never forget about what had he done to his beloved consort.
"Are they a problem for our plan?" V.V asked.
"No brother, they're not." It took Charles his entire willpower to prevent his entire body from shaking in fury. Obviously if he said yes, then his brother will kill them.
"Good." he said in a bored tone as his eyes are now half narrowed
"Is that what you came for in here, to ask me questions about my children?" Charles is a little curious about why his brother wanted to talk to him.
"No I am here to talk to that eleven whom you just promoted to the Knights of the Round." V.V said. He wanted to talk to that eleven so he can know more about his species called Tenno and doesn't want Charles to know about this yet.
"He already returned to his barracks. But why would you want to talk to him brother, do you want to know something from Kururugi?" Charles questioned his short long blond hair brother.
Instead of answering, V.V moves away from the table and walks beside Charles, pretending as if he was just a lifeless statue standing in there.
"That is for me to know and for you to find out." he gave his brother a smile before opening the door and walking through the halls.
Charles just stares at his brothers with absolute curiosity 'What are you trying to hide from me brother?' he thought as he closed the door.
Somewhere in the East China Sea
9:00 PM
The moon shined as the Spectre drifts above the clouds with great speed. In the Bridge, while everyone is busy, Marsrin is seen talking with the Geass Order's Director, V.V. their voice in the conversation is quite low; no one can hear even a word unless you approached them, however doing such places your very life on the line since V.V and Marsrin's conversations, according to some people, are often about either the highly classified or upcoming plans of the Order since the latter is their Director's most trusted and loyal right hand man.
"We should have left the Base earlier, so we could have met that Kururugi guy at the Viceroy's Palace." Marsrin said as he looked at his watch, seeing that it has been 20 minutes since they left Tokyo.
"Yes we should have but there is still another day." a disappointed tone is heard from V.V. he really wanted to speak to that Eleven. "You told me that you wanted a military battalion under your command this morning am I right?" he stared at Marsrin.
"Yes Director, actually I've been planning that for weeks."
"Why?" V.V asked his aide, who didn't even mind looking at him.
"Just think of it Director, with a small army under the command of a person bearing an advanced arsenal and are led by a leader with a strategically cunning mind, they could defeat entire armies without any casualty on their side."
"And it's doctrine?"
"The combination of tenacity and heavy firepower in the battlefield is the key to achieve a decisive victory over your opponents. Through the use of powerful and versatile technology, one can defeat its opponents with ease."
"So you're saying that through aggression and brute force, your battalion can quickly dominate the battlefield and prevail."
"Yes that is what I really meant Director."
With that statement, it took V.V only seconds to make a decision.
"But do you know that your little dream can only be fulfilled if we have Knightmare Frames of our own." V.V said. The Geass order doesn't have any Knightmare Frame that the Britannian Military has since V.V want's to design a Knightmare of their own. However he can't seem to think of any.
"That's the problem." Marsrin Chuckles which made V.V wonder "It's just a simple problem sir. Just yesterday, our engineers have started the construction of a Knightmare Frame I designed. It's completely different from any Knightmare you've seen but theoretically, I can fight an entire army just by itself."
V.V suddenly took interest of this Knightmare. he instantly believed in what Marsrin just said despite being only a theory, but what matters most is that the Order's military will be improved since now that they have their own Knightmare.
Area 11, Tokyo Settlement, Ashford Academy
August 14 2017 a.t.b
8:00 AM, Monday
The alarm in Ashford Academy rang causing the students to stop what they're doing and runs towards their respective classroom.
In the classroom, it was noticeable that the desk where Milly seats was empty, the reason was because that since Milly had become a Grand Duchess in the past days, she will no longer attend the classes. She was now the New Headmaster of the Academy after Ruben used his title as a Grand Duke to resurrect and own the Megacorp; Ashford Foundation with him as the Chairman and his son the CAO.
Just a day after Lelouch was shot in the Academy; a club known as the Student Self-Defence Force is formed by Alvin Attaway; son of a Royal Guard stationed in the Pendragon Imperial Palace and recruited students who also possess military backgrounds. They proclaimed themselves as the protection force of the academy. All members seem to have over-patriotic tendencies as a result of their backgrounds and even school's disciplinary force, enforcing the school's laws by violent means. To most students, they view this group more like vigilantes than legitimate enforcement. They do, however, seem to legitimately care about the school, even organizing a nightwatch to protect the campus. They are also very discriminatory against any eleven and now half-bloods as a result of Kallen's action on Prince Lelouch, assaulting them even for minor offenses such as obstructing walkways. They also overreact to the vandalization of school property.
"Since Prez is the Headmaster now, then who's going to sit at her desk?" Rivalz will miss seeing Milly regularly in class but at least she didn't left Ashford.
"Cheer up Rivalz." Shirley comforts Rivalz for his loneliness. Milly chose her to be the new Student Council President. "I'm sure you'll get used to it."
While they are conversing. Nina is in deep thought 'With Prez gone, I'm sure that someone will replace her. Since Ashford Academy is a popular school.' Ger thoughts were interrupted when the teacher suddenly enters the room; immediately silencing the class 'Someone will enrol here soon.'
"Well students." the female teacher placed her book on the desk before continuing with a smile carved in her face. "I have an important announcement." This caught the attention of the whole class. She turned her eyes left towards the open door, staring at a female student outside. Just last night, Milly Ashford introduced her to a transfer student that she herself will introduce to her class on the next day; what's surprising is that she is not a Britannian, but Japanese.
"I would like to introduce you to a transfer student." the class murmurs as she turns her head to the girl outside and nods her head at her. Signalling the young woman to step inside.
Since silence reigns in the entire environment, the students inside can clearly here the sound of footsteps from outside the class room. A girl with glasses wearing Ashford Academy's Uniform and is carrying a red carryall as her school bag.
The students were shocked when they identified the girl to be an eleven just by looking at her face. The boys instantly stares at her breasts, it perfectly suits her slim body. Every girl mischievously envies the Beauty and Gorgeousness the girl possesses. However some students, especially the members of the Student Self Defence Force, Despises her just like any other eleven despite her looks.
Nina shivered upon laying eyes at the eleven present in the room. Shirley sees another potential friend and member for the Student Council as replacement for both Milly and Lelouch. Rivalz smiles and waves his right hand at the girl, greeting her though no one seems to notice this.
"I would like to introduce you to Maiko Yukimura (this is Maiko Kaneda of the Hentai Series; Discipline), the Daughter of Daisuke Yukimura; a Japanese Industrialist and the CEO of the Yukimura Zaibatsu."
When they heard the surname 'Yukimura', they were all shocked because that means she belongs to the Yukimura Clan.
Everyone knows that in the past, the Yukimura Family was a powerful Ninja Clan that is founded by Sato Yukimura during the Heian Period of Japan. All its members are prominent for their excellent fighting capability and sharp senses. The clan was notable for developing a friendship with Queen Elizabeth after destroying the entire Spanish Armada inbound to England; leaving not even a single survivor. For centuries they managed to maintain their neutral stance by aligning themselves to no one, fighting only if prompted to. Their relationship with the imperial family nearly withered when Japan was conquered, but Charles still allowed them to operate the Yukimura Zaibatsu as a reward for helping them in their past problems; still most Britannians view them nothing more than lowly elevens.
The Yukimura Zaibatsu is a Giant Defence and Pharmaceutical conglomerate that was a result of the Wealth the family has amassed in the past centuries which pars the company to the combined strength of some Britannian Megacorporations. The Zaibatsu both mass produces various military weapons and equipment and distributes all kinds' medicine to all places in the empire.
"She's a Yukimura."
"I've heard that they were long-time allies of the past monarchs."
"Yeah that's true, remember when we read that history book, it said that the Yukimura Clan destroyed the Spanish Armada inbound to England and left not even a single survivor."
"Miss Maiko, there's your seat." the teacher pointed her finger at Milly's desk.
"Yes, Ma'am." only two single words and the new student show her rather angelic voice which made her more beautiful to them. The eyes of the boys were not removing from her as she sat in her chair, much to the girls' annoyance.
-School grounds-
7:00 PM
After the end of the entire school session, instead of sleeping in the girl's dorm, Maiko exited the Academy and walks to their house, intends to occasionally return home to spend time with her family. She decided to stop by a restaurant to eat there; ordering a Lobster and a Sunday roast as her supper, when she was done she resumed her walking.
"That was a tasty meal." she said to herself while walking an empty street, devoid of any person. While walking she turned to a construction site as a shortcut. When she entered the site, she felt a cold breeze touch her white skin, causing her to shiver as her teeth rapidly collided with each other for a short amount of time.
"Damn it's cold, I should've brought a sweater." she just hugged herself to ease the cold she's feeling. When she was half way from the exit. Five Britannians came out of hiding and blocked her path. By looking at their physical appearance these men are all in their late 20s and wore only dirty simple clothes, indicating that they're all commoners.
"Foolish men." Maiko glared at the men when she sees how the men look at her. They're looking at her in a lustful manner.
"I've never seen an eleven very beautiful as much as you are." the one at the centre said as he slowly walked towards his prey while licking his lips. Causing her to step back.
"Are you lost, we'll take care of you."
"Looks like we have an exotic whore with us tonight, I'm sure you'll be delicious."
"There's nowhere to run now you eleven bitch, we'll make sure to dispose you after what we will do." the fat man said.
The statements of the men just angered her further, she glared at all of them; she looked around to see if anyone beside these men is here and unluckily, there was no one.
"Looking for help, no one is here but my buds and me." the man at the centre said again.
This statement will be the last thing he said as Maiko finally decided to take drastic measures.
"All of you will all pay for the vile words you said to me . . . with your very lives."
Moments later, a bright violet light is suddenly emitted somewhere inside the same construction site where Maiko was. Its appearance is immediately followed by the screams of 5 different men as they are killed one by one.
When the violet light was gone the scene had completely changed.
The five men attempting to sexually assault Maiko were replaced by five smoking heavily seared and dismembered bodies of the same men.
On the other hand, Maiko is completely unharmed and there's not even a single stain of blood present in her uniform, however something is very different. A violet aura is present in her body, it looked like a bright coloured wind is spiralling elegantly on her body.
"Like I said. All of you will all pay for the vile words you said to me with your very lives." as she glares at the bodies, her eyes suddenly glowed violet, meaning that she's not a mere human.. But something else.
So this took so long guys. The reason I can't write is because i ran out of ideas on the past weeks.
Another reason is that I don't have a co-writer and a beta reader to read my chapters before I post them to make changes and correct errors. I am in current need of ideas on how to develop the relationship between Lelouch and Maiko; it's going to be hard considering the racial policy of Britannians and their attitude towards Non-Britannians.
Can anyone tell me where I can find a picture of Euria from Code Geass: Oz the Reflection? The characters of Code Geass: Oz the Reflection shall appear in Endeavour.
I have another announcement. I am going to remove the video Diethard has about Lelouch and Milly, how? Someone will wreak the camera into pieces. I am going to do this because I thought of something more scandalous. It involves a hotel room, dozens of hidden camera's that makes a live global broadcast in the room and last but not the least, Maiko and Lelouch together.
I would like to thank Agarfinkel and Wolfblood123 for constantly giving me ideas chapter after chapter. I would have stopped continuing this story if it weren't for both of you. I loved this story so much because I published during my birthday.
I just like to say that I need both a Co-writer and a Beta reader if you want this story to improve. It's not easy working alone you know.
By the way, some chapters have been rewritten. I suggest that, you read the entire story again to avoid confusion in future chapters.
See ya! =
