Author's Note: Haha many things happened last chapter and I think you're expecting more. Don't worry, there is MORE!
As Tpolich said, you might have overlooked one of the most important line last chapter: Orange-kun awakened.
But who knows if he'll appear this chapter, or not. But the reason why I update later is because I want to write quality chapters that's it.
And you might have noticed that I talk lot before the chapter. Well it kinda pumps me up and help me refresh my ideas that's it.
Enjoy!
"So that's your real name? It is surely more human than CC…"
"I want to forget that, it brings back too many painful memories…"
"Then let's leave it that way, but you'll have to cure your sleeptalking…"
The two were seated at Lelouch place together.
"Why and how are they here?" CC barely made the Gawain fly in surprise.
"Papa, papa" Aurora opened her arms to her dad smiling, while Eirian silently pushed a button; he fired the Hadron cannon and it hit small nearby lake, emptying it. He was laughing when Lelouch hurriedly grabbed him.
"Eirian, I won't have you kill somebody at that age!" He handed Aurora to CC and scolded his son "Don't push a button!! CC, just as I thought, they could somehow teleport…"
"R-Really? But how did they know we're here and why…"
"Sayoko, where is CC and brother? Did they leave Aurora and Eirian with us?"
"Yes Lady Nunally, they said that they would just buy something at the convenience store for a while."
"But the news was suddenly cut, I'm getting worried…"
"I believe that they would be alright, Sir Lelouch avoids trouble using his brains."
"Yes, I do think so…I'll just sleep again…"
Sayoko happily hummed a tune as she did the laundry inside the bathroom; she can't leave Nunally and the twins.
Earlier she dressed Aurora the mini CC outfit Lelouch made for her and Eirian the mini Zero outfit CC made for him. She can't stop squealing as she pictured the sleeping twins wearing the costumes and said to herself that she'll check up on them again later.
Her phone rang.
"Hello, its Sayoko" she quickly answered.
Diethard said on the other line, "Where are you right now? The rebellion has begun you must-"
"I've got direct orders" she quickly interrupted "right now I'm guarding his family, and I'm washing his underwear don't disturb me!"
She hung the phone as she hanged the wet garments on the shower curtain's pole. And after drying her hands she skipped towards the crib, humming the national anthem of Japan playfully.
"My sweet little darlings-EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
They were not inside the crib.
What happened!? I'm sure I installed laser detectors and alarms…where did those two go? Lelouch-sama will kill me! Shall I find the twins and leave Nunally?

A Lot Happened
-
When the smoke cleared Cornelia was shocked to see that no people were left on the stadium, her prisoners freed. How could they have escaped so quickly? She asked herself.
She barely escaped the rain of bullets that came after; it killed a lot of her guards. The backstage was almost destroyed and her stand-by troops were disoriented by the sudden attack, overpowered by only a few well-commanded Black Knightmares. Regaining her strength, she was now again ready to command her army, and defeat the enemy whoever they may be.
"Glaston Knights get to you units!" Running towards her Gloucester, she further ordered them "Our priority is the Gawain and secondarily the Lancelot!"
"Your Highness, most of our Gloucesters have been stolen!"
"WHAT!? Request reinforcements right away, we can outnumber them soon!" Picking up her communication device she commanded "Don't panic, resume formation and block the exits! Fight to death!"
Then Zero's laugh was heard at the whole stadium.
When did he hijack the communications system?
"Cornelia, I'm very happy of Euphemia's actions, too bad for you…her confession has already been uploaded to YouTube!!"
"WHAAAAAATTTT!!"
As Cornelia punched the wall in anger, all the while commanding her remaining forces and calling for reinforcements Lelouch continued laughing inside the Gawain's cockpit. They were flying above the Tokyo area, anticipating the aerial reinforcements and monitoring the troops.
"That Cornelia, she focused too much on luring me and Euphie out, but that's what I wanted her to do. She failed to devise a counter attack plan, thinking that with her troop concentration we won't be able to do anything, securing the ghettos but was unable to see that I sent the Black Knights out after she arrested all those innocent people. She must be calling reinforcements now but too bad…"
BOOM!!
"Most of the headquarters must be blown to bits by now; the smaller ones must be already in flames now"
BAM!!
"The Britannian troops won't be able to chase the crowd now; I've already blocked the subway tunnels-"
"LELOUCH STOP TALKING TO YOURSELF!!" CC shouted at him. "Are you sure Eirian is safely buckled to you?"
He was a little embarrassed. He secured the buckle and answered "Yes I'm sure… but why would they teleport here!?"
"Maybe they were not used in being left alone" she calmly answered back.
The two, one and a half year olds quietly sucked on their bottles and seemed absorbed watching the monitor.
"CC good thing you have some bottles here."
"I use them from time to time, they're better than jugs you know? And their milk is so delicious…"
The rebellion had begun. From its source, the fighting escalated from the united resistance of the Elevens.
But it wasn't Suzaku's priority.
"Kururugi, the rebellion has begun. Don't run like a coward!" Tamaki scowled at Suzaku using their channel. He was following the air unit using his Knightmare.
"Don't bother me! The baby will come out soon; I'll go help later on."
"What baby are you talking about jock?"
"You didn't hear? Euphie's pregnant and the baby will come out soon!"
"You made her pregnant! You raped her didn't you?"
"No, just shut up I'm looking for a-ahh there!!"
The Lancelot found Llyod's truck, and landed right next to it. Yosh, there's a clinic inside there! Using its channel he warned Lyold and Cecile: "Let us in! I'm taking you as my hostage; I promise that the Black Knigths will spare your lives!"
Inside the truck:
"Llyod-san, what shall we do?" Cecile distressingly asked him but he didn't reply.
He ran off fast outside and jumped in joy: "Lancelot, you came back!! I missed you so much!"
As Suzaku saw him he asked again "So are you going to let us in? If not I'll force my way!" obviously getting impatient after hearing Euphie's "ou-ouch!" She would obviously give birth soon.
"Su-sure Suzaku! There are no guards here, don't worry I won't contact Schneizel!" Lloyd replied in the most annoying manner.
Guarded by Tamaki's Burai, he quickly landed Lancelot next to the truck and got out of the cockpit with Euphie.
Cecile shrieked as she saw the sight "Suzaku…the broadcast was cut- Euphie's pregnant!?"
He comes down the unit carrying her "Yes Cecile-san, would you help me now?"
"Y-yes!"
Nightfall was coming and the sky will soon be filled with smoke. The aerial units were coming and the battle heated up as Cornelia was able to regroup her forces.
"Lelouch, do you think we should drop these two somewhere first?"
"I was thinking about that, but I guess they would just teleport to us again."
CC looked at Aurora's gentle sleeping face "But Lelouch, are you sure they could endure this battle, it could take hours!"
"I know that! But I think they must have come here for a reason, and maybe they feel that the safest place is here."
A thought entered CC's head at that moment; there was this feeling that someone would die. Does the twins know this too? Or they sensed an impending danger?
But looking at their situation right now she can see that there was no escape from the approaching troops and anywhere in the region there would be fighting.
She knew that deep in his heart, Lelouch was worried sick about Nunally, his friends, Euphie and Suzaku. All their hopes are pressuring him to the point that there was no time that his mind was in peace.
As he delivered his speech he realized that he must let go of them for now, shut off his senses and turn himself into an embodiment of war tactics ensuring victory on their side. For this is the moment where he gambles everything; he will either lose it or preserve it, nothing more.
Yet the feeling of death can't still escape CC, for she felt that it was her responsibility if she failed to warn the incoming tragedy: Who would die? Euphie? Suzaku? Nunally? Or else?
"CC, they are coming, prepare yourself!"
And thousands of light reflected themselves at CC, Lelouch and Eirian's eyes.
"AHHHHHHHH!! It hurts Suzaku, i-it h-hurts!"
He held her hand tight "Euphie hang on, you are strong."
Her breathing was getting faster as Cecil prepared the medical apparatus. "Llyod-san! Mind the Lancelot later, help us here!"
Llyod bid farewell to Lancelot and hurriedly ran to the room while Tamaki and some of his pals are guarding the outside.
Then a call came "Tamaki, what are you squad doing there?"
"We're currently guarding Kururugi and Euphemia, here at a lone Britannian truck."
"How's Euphie?"
"I-I don't know yet sir."
"Tsk! Tell the truck owner to move to Ashford Academy. I assign you to protect everyone in there; it will be a refuge for civilians. Don't harm anyone!"
"YES SIR!"
The call ended and he felt proud being commanded directly by Zero and ordered his troops "Go to Ashford Academy and protect that place! It will be a sanctuary to civilians! Go ahead!"
"Yes sir!" they all answered.
He then called Kururugi "Hoy, tell the owner to drive his way to Ashford Academy-"
"Ok don't disturb us right now Euphie is-"
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
Tamaki gulped hearing the scream and he remembered something: I'm going to miss the action and be Kururugi's guard? DAMMIT!!
-
Euphie was panting hard, after her tremendous effort the baby hasn't come out yet.
He worriedly asked "Cecile-san, what if she's a C-section-"
"SUZAKU THE HEAD IS COMING OUT!"
He squealed and another a scream was also heard from Tamaki's line. "Kururugi don't surprise me like that the suspense is killing me!" Inside he was getting easily rattled because he was alone defending the truck.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! SUZAKU I'M GONNA DIE!" Euphie yelled at him.
"Euphie don't think like that, you'll live!"
"You're crushing my hand you idiot!"
He let of it and hurriedly massaged it when…
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
"Hold on Euphie, you can do it, push harder!" Cecile encouraged smiling at her "I'm sure that you'll be fine!" Then her tone became more serious "Lyold-san, be careful in driving, avoid bumps!"
"Y-Yes…" Of course he wouldn't let the docked Lancelot get scratched.
Euphie's labor was much longer than expected, she wasn't as physically strong as CC and not used in pain. As time passed it became much harder for her, and she was gradually losing strength to continue.
Every minute wore down Suzaku as well, now he understood why Lelouch was so angry at them when they were late. Lelouch and CC made it through without anybody's help and they were even at an elevator, he thought. We will stand through this.
Euphie's ears who seemingly shut themselves in pain was reopened by a loud wail and a soft whisper "Euphie, it's over…it's a boy, look."
Her blurred vision was still able to recognize her love…but it regained its focus on a tiny life beside her "Suzaku…a boy? He's so beautiful…he looks exactly like you…" Drops slowly flowed from her eyes.
"Do you really think so? I bet he'll grow up more handsome than me!" He was crying with her.
"Suzaku…"
"Euphie…" He gently dabbed his handkerchief on her forehead.
As all the channels opened, Zero's voice magnificently stirred the hearts of the people in Area 11 and the world as well, there were no exceptions:
"Elevens, the time has come for Britannia to fall! Kururugi Suzaku and Euphemia clearly showed us that people can live together. Now, I establish a new country where everybody's equal, where the strong does not reign upon the weak. All races, religion and background will not matter. This is a nation of acceptance; I shall name it…the United States of Japan!"
The roars of millions followed.
"W-what happened to SAZ?" Her voice was weak and airy.
"Zero, successfully stopped it, you should not worry."
"I-I see…"
She looked up again at him and smiled, slowly speaking sincerely:
"Suzaku…study college…I was a highschool dropout" she said to him looking at his eyes, raising her hand.
Suzaku sniffed as he grasped it "Haha Euphie don't talk like that, I'm sure you'll be okay. You can still finish highschool at Ashford!"
"Promise me that…"
Zero continued his brilliant words:
"Everyone, fight with me! Fight for the future of your family and friends! Don't hold back and unite! This is our chance, our only chance!"
"Lelouch, the people may turn into killing machines with all that seriousness." CC remarked.
"Huh? You think so? Very well then…" He turned on the signal again "I also use this chance to say something important to a very precious woman."
CC was surprised and quickly looked at him.
"After I defeat the enemy…" Shouting her name aloud, he passionately asked with his glorious leader voice, heard by multitudes… "I love you! WILL YOU MARRY ME!?"
#&!? My name...marry...love...
"Of course I'm considering studying, when this rebellion is over, I'll be an official Karate instructor... t-that's what I have always wanted to be!"
"Is that so? I'm so glad…make sure you'll take care of him…" slowly her eyelids were beginning to half close
"I will...we will! As husband and wife! We'll get married once you turn 18!" He kissed her pale hands.
Though very tired, Euphie's face still show it's usual enthusiasm "Yes...yes..."
"Yes Euphie, promise me also-"
"Suzaku...I love you…"
...
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
...
"EUPHIEEEEEEEEEE!!"
…
"Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! ZERO! ZERO! ZERO! ZERO! ZERO! ZERO! ZERO!"
...
...
...
"Suzaku…I think the wire snapped, turn that off... the beeping might wake up our child…"
…
Euphie is alive... who is going to die?
Phew that was a rushed chapter considering that it took me two days to think of this one.
I hope you enjoyed, I'll try to update as soon as possible;but now I prefer to add quality chapters.
So CC's name was still revealed to Lelouch one time, dunno when it happened it just did-doesn't have to be the cave scene.
Please Review!!
