"Does he do this alot?"
"Not really. But this is his second time today."
I heard voice. One was familiar. But two weren't.
"He isn't injured. Just suffering from shock. You're not surprised?"
"No, I'm pretty strange myself."
I opened my eyes and felt myself lying on a bed.
"Casper?"
"Yeah?"
His voice came from beside me. I turned my head and saw him sitting at a table, eating with someone. That someone, and another some. I know I'm not making sense, but I've been unconcious twice today, so give me a break.
"Who are you?", I asked the strangers before me.
"Eat first. You won't be able to understand everything without some nutrition", the man said.
"How caring", the other one, who was a woman said in a teasing voice.
The man handed me a slice of pizza. If my suspicions were correct then. . .but that's impossible. Even so, I had to know. After taking a bite, I asked again.
"Who are you?"
The man chuckled. "You already have the answer, don't you?"
"Didn't I say he was smart?", the woman said.
"But still, I want to know for sure", I said.
"Very well. My name is Lelouch vi Britannia. And this is my accomplice, C.C."
I started feeling dizzy again, but I fought to maintain conciousness. I decided if I ever got back to Ashford, I would just stay in my own little bubble of ignorance. I couldn't handle all these things that were happening.
I mean seriously, my roomate can talk to ghosts, I'm under a cemetery, and I'm eating pizza with a dead emperor. Where's that giant ice cream cone that's supposed to beat me in a card game? Oh, sorry, I went a little insane there.
I took a deep breath to calm myself. "If you're Lelouch vi Britannia, why are you down here? And how are you still alive?"
"To put it simply, the world knows only the basics of Geass. Someone gives another an ability, in return for a wish. But the wish is never disclosed."
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"The Geass giver is immortal, and when the receiver evolves to their highest level, the giver will lose their immortality to them. This immortality is known as a code. Once you have the code, you have the ability to grant others Geass."
"So before you died, you gained C.C.'s code?", I asked.
"Not exactly. Before taking over Britannia, I was able to gain my father's code."
"Your father was immortal?!"
"Yes. But I think you should answer some questions of mine. Why are you here?", vi Britannia asked
- - -
"Alex? Casper? Are you guys here?", Jun called.
He knew of only one cemetery that was near Ashford Academy, and it made sense with the project for Alex to go here. But Jun wondered why he was with Casper. He climbed over the fence and started searching.
Jun was careful not to step on the graves. He was taught to respect the dead, especially those who fought for Japan's freedom. His father would always drill certain things in his head. Jun's father wanted him to grow up with strong morals and values.
Soon Jun started to get tired. He sat under a tree and rested.
"Where could they be? They said they were here."

"I'm here because some crazy ghost told us to", I answered.
"Crazy ghost?", C.C. asked.
Casper finally spoke up. "He told us his name was Rolo, he sent us."
"Rolo?", vi Britannia's eyes widened. "How did you talk to him?"
"I can communicate with dead people. Rolo was the first voice I heard. He's like a friend to me."
"Rolo huh? Even in the afterlife, he's loyal."
"What are you two doing down here? What is this place?", I asked.
"When I found out I was immortal, I was content to live out my life in solitude. But apparently, now the world has different plans."
"I convinced Lelouch to do something", C.C. said.
"I never wanted any part in this-"
"But I know you did. You just like to be stubborn."
"So I had this small headquarters made. The files are for future recruits, and I keep the tvs to be updated on the world", vi Britannia explained.
"Why are you telling us this?", I asked.
"Because you asked."
"What I mean is, you wouldn't tell just anyone this, would you?"
"No. The reason I told you this is because, we've been watching you. And after gathering data, I've come up with a conclusion."
"What?"
"That C.C. here was right. You are my reincarnation."
. . . "You're kidding right?"
"I'm very serious."
"But if I'm your reincarnation, shouldn't you be dead?"
"Humans don't fully understand everything dealing with things like this, reincarnation, immortality. There are some gaps in information", C.C. said.
"But we know. Alex, when you were born, inside you appeared some of my life energy. We share traits, mannerisms, and even ideals. That is what makes you my reincarnated self", vi Britannia explained.
"Okay okay, let's say I am you. What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means when the time comes, you will lead the my forces, and take my place."
I've had enough of fainting for today. And it almost seems like a plot device to change scenes. So I kept my conciousness and tried not to get dizzy.
"Today's been a crazy day. Can you guys just get us back to Ashford?", I asked.
"Sure, follow me", vi Britannia said.
He led us out of that room and into another with a cylindrical shute. Casper looked at it with awe.
"This is a transporter. The ones used by political leaders. They only use these to travel to and from the sattelite bureaus."
"You mean the ones that orbit in the sky?", I asked.
"Yeah."
"I'll never understand why they made that." I looked over at vi Britannia, though since we share life energy I guess I should call him Lelouch. "This isn't dangerous is it?"
"If it was dangerous, I wouldn't even consider it", he said.
Casper and I got inside, and I felt a tingling through my entire body. Before I knew it, we were in some other base. It looked like a monitering center.
"This way", Casper said.
I followed him and we came to an old elevator. It reached a certain floor and the door opened, revealing books.
"We're in the Ashford Academy library. That's wierd", Casper said.
"Forget that, let's just get back to our dorm."
As we walked back, I felt like I was forgetting something. . .something important.

Up next: Hmm, I'm not really sure. You'll have to wait and see.
P.S.-What do you guys think of LelouchxC.C.?
