Chapter 5: Geass Happened

"Hey Rivalz can Nunnally and I borrow your ride now?" Rolo asked an unassuming walking Rivalz.

"What for? Don't tell me you're planning to cut your classes? You know how much Lelouch doesn't want any of you skipping your classes. Think of how much he works for you guys to attend Ashford." Rivalz said.

"Who made you our mother? You're just a friend of my onii-sama. So can we borrow your ride or not?"

"Of course not! Do you know how your brother reprimands?! He first make you guilty then ashamed then-," but was cut off by Rolo who impatiently said, "We know how onii-sama is, Rivalz but what does that have to do with borrowing your ride?"

"Your brother is a monster in interrogating me about the two of you! Do you know how he will react when he found out you decided to skip school and most especially bring Nunnally along?"

"Then don't tell him, my god Rivalz, you're such a wimp! Onii-sama is practically one of the naïve people there is! So can we borrow your ride?"

"Are you nuts?! Rolo! He may be naïve but he is one hell of a mother lion when it comes to the two of you! Have you ever been at the end of his glare? Because if you don't, I'll tell you now, once subjected to his glare, you would never find yourself capable of lying or else."

"Wimp. If you're not going to let us borrow, then fine. Nunnally and I would find another ride."

"Wha- what?! Fine, you can borrow it! I don't want you to use your money in going wherever you are going. I'm not even going to ask just make sure you return it in one piece. I'm not even going to tell your brother this. Here's the key. You know where it is right?"

"Yes. Thanks RIvalz, you're the best! See you!"

And with that Rolo disappeared from Rivalz's view.

"I'm so screwed if ever Lelouch found out about this," Rivalz said with a sigh.

"What did you do Rivalz? Why are you screwed?" Milly Ashford asked, suddenly appearing from Rivalz's view.

"Whoah, Madam President! I didn't see you there!" Rivalz exclaoimed.

"Because, I only just arrive a second ago. So tell me what made you sigh like that."

"Oh nothing?"

"Really?"

"Yes?"

"Are you asking me?"

"Yes?"

"Rivalz, just spit it out. You are not a good liar."

"It's just some annoying kid who decided to borrow my ride and their overprotective older brother who would no doubt kill me if he ever found out what I did."

"Do I know them?"

"No Madame President. The older brother is a friend of mine in work."

"Don't worry about your friend, RIvalz. We, the student council will protect you from his wrath. Come. You're late for the meeting."

"Oh right. Is that the reason why you're here?"

"Of course, I'm only here to find out what took you so long."

"What took you so long brother dear?"

"I finally got Rivalz's permission to use his ride and I must say my dear sister, he is a hard nut to crack."

"Is that why it took you so long?"

"Yes. Onii-sama seems to have scared him to death if anything were to happen to us in school."

"At least he is a good friend for onii-sama unlike some people who we managed to at least make them disappear from the face of the planet. Let's go Rolo."

With that, the two siblings travelled using Rivalz's ride towards Shinjuku ghetto to save their precious older brother, hoping that they are not too late.

Once they are in a highway, a truck that came out of nowhere almost hit them. They almost died! But Nunnally's reaction is different from Rolo. If Rolo wanted to let the passengers of the truck to die and burn in hell for almost killing his twin; Nunnally would want to help the passengers. That is why, Nunnally takes off her seatbelt and run towards the sound of the only running engine in the area.

"Hey Nunnally! Where are you going?! Come back this instant!" Rolo shouted.

"I have to help them Rolo. What if they got hurt?"

"And whose fault it is? Obviously, if they drive more safely then they won't almost hit us!"

"Rolo, there's no need to be so harsh." Nunnally reprimanded while going up the stairs on the side of the truck.

"Did you forget why we are here, Nunnally? We are here to save onii-sama and not go on and act like a hero."

"I-I just need to make sure that they are alright. It would only take a few short minutes."

But that few short minutes didn't come true for the truck suddenly begins to move. Then Nunnally found herself being thrown by the force of the movement inside the truck. And there goes the truck with Nunnally in it.

"Nunnally! Fuck! Shit! This is not good. Obviously it isn't. Who will I follow? Nunnally or onii-sama? If I look at it this way, the one in more in danger is onii-sama. He is in Shinjuku ghetto and once the Japanese found out he is a prince, he's screwed. Britannia's army under Clovis would be there as well and if they recognize him, they'll most probably send him back to that bastard. Nunnally on the other hand is in a truck somewhere around area eleven. The driver seems Japanese but what if they're rebels? Well, at least she could defend herself. She could act all weak then suddenly attack them with her poisoned daggers when they're not expecting it. Okay. I'll go looking for onii-sama as planned. Besides, at least I have onii-sama's location unlike Nunnally. I only hope you are well Nunnally. Please come back to us, my dearest sister."

With Nunnally…

"What the-?" Nunnally said to herself while she stumbled inside the truck.

'Okay, what am I going to do now? Rolo's going to bite my head off later on. I'm stuck somewhere inside a moving vehicle going somewhere and now someone is shooting the truck?!' Nunnally thought trying to calm her beating heart. Panicking after all won't help her. What she needed to do now is to find her way back. After all, she can act her way through all this. And if acting doesn't work then she may have to attack them.

Getting her balance finally, she felt some kind of a big round thing inside.

"What could it be?" She murmurs to herself but that train of thought ended when she's thrown somewhere.

"Wha- what the hell happened?" She asked herself wondering what happened now. Suddenly she is thrown again. Then something like a punch hit her abdomen that made her cry out in pain.

"Sto-,"

"Oh my god, is that you Nunnally? I'm sorry for hurting you. But what are you doing here? Don't tell me, you became a rebel! What the hell Nunnally! I know Rolo hated Britannia back then but I never thought you and Lelouch would join this non essential bloodshed! By the way, where's Rolo? Lelouch? -Wait- you can walk now? Since when?" A familiar voice asked to a slightly disoriented Nunnally who is gasping for breath. Tilting her head to the side, she tried to remember who the familiar voice belonged to but that is answered by the voice introducing himself, "Oh yeah, it's me, Suzaku. Suzaku Kururugi. Do you still remember me?"

With that introduction, Nunnally's eyes widened. The person in front of her is none other than their old friend Suzaku Kururugi!

"Su-Suzaku? Is that really you?" Nunnally asked while trying to touch Suzaku's face in confirmation which Suzaku let her.

"Yes, Nunnally. Tell me what are you doing here? Where are your brothers? I doubt they would ever let you out of their sight."

"It was an accident. I was trying to help the passengers but suddenly the truck moved and here I am."

"I understand. Did you know that this truck was stolen by the rebels?"

"N-no. I only wanted to help them."

"I understand."

"What are you doing here Suzaku? Are you a rebel?" Nunnally asked curiously while clutching her abdomen in pain.

"No. I became an honorary Britannian-," Suzaku is about to say more but he is cut off by something opening. He then saw the poisoned gas container opening! Immediately, he took off his protective helmet and put it on Nunnally while pushing his body over her in protection.

A few seconds later, when the steam from the poison gas container has lifted, a bounded green-haired girl came out of the container. Suzaku looked at the girl in confusion. He was told that what they are looking for is a container containing poisoned gas and not some container carrying a bound girl.

"What was the noise? And Suzaku, can you get off of me? You're kind of heavy." Nunnally whispered to Suzaku.

As if the spell was broken, Suzaku remembered that Nunnally is underneath him.

"I'm sorry Nunnally. I thought that the container carries poison gas but what I never thought of is that the container is carrying a girl."

"A girl?" Nunnally asks as she is being helped by Suzaku in standing.

Suzaku was about to reply but was cut off by a voice.

"Private Kururugi, what is this?"

"Sir, I was told that we are looking for a poisoned gas container but-,"

"Shut your mouth, you monkey! You have not seen anything is that understood?"

"Yes, sir."

"Oh yes, what is a Britannian student doing here? No matter. It's a pity that you are at a wrong place at a wrong time and you have seen so much. Private Kururugi, I order you to kill the student."

Eyes widening, Suzaku couldn't help but blurt out, "But sir, she is a civilian!"

"Are you questioning my orders?!"

"No sir but I cannot kill her."

"Then I just have to kill you."

And with that a gunshot rang in the vicinity followed by something hitting the ground.

'No, no, no this can't be happening! Suzaku isn't dead! He's not! If only I am strong enough. If only I have the power to protect. If only I'm not useless!' Nunnally thought while tears started flowing from her eyes. Then she heard the voice of the person who killed Suzaku say to her, "Pity, you're a Britannian. Goodbye. Don't worry we'll send your body back in one piece to your family. It's the least we could do for a fellow Britannian."

'No, no, no I can't die now! What would happen to Rolo and onii-sama if I die? No. Don't think about dying because I am not going to die! I can do this! I can protect myself. I have my daggers with me.' Nunnally thought while discreetly pulling out her poisoned daggers from who knows where she keeps it in her body.

A second later is all it took to change the situation. She threw her dagger to the two nearest sound of the beating heart she could hear in the vicinity. A grunt of pain and a thud followed by a shock pause is all that she needed to distract them into escaping not caring if she has killed.

At the same time, the truck exploded helping her to gain much distance from those people whowanted her dead. Adrenaline courses through her veins as she runs while holding the walls in support. A little while later, Nunnally couldn't help but hear another set of footsteps behind her. She stopped and the footsteps also stop.

'Who could it be? If that person, who is following me, wanted me dead, I would surely be dead by now. They wouldn't waste their time following me.' Nunnally thought in contemplation.

Mustering up what little courage she has, she asked, "Who are you? Why are you following me?"

"I'm CC."

"Wait, are you the girl inside the container?"

"Yes. I'm only following you to find my way out."

"Oh."

With Rolo…

After driving in a long tense silence, he finally arrived in Shinjuku ghetto. Following the tracker fromhis phone, he finally found Lelouch holding a briefcase while looking pleased. He was about to call over his onii-sama's attention when a battalion of Britannian soldiers started shooting everyone in the area.

Rolo's eyes widened in horror. It was as if he is being brought back to the time of war where puddles of blood in the ground and people dying left and right are pretty common.

"No! This could not be happening again! Fuck! I need to go to onii-sama right now!"

And with that, Rolo ran as fast as his legs could carry him towards where Lelouch is. When he reached his older brother, Rolo couldn't help but swear more. Lelouch seems to have shut down upon seeing the carnage taking place around him.

"Onii-sama! Onii-sama! Let's go!" Rolo shouted urgently while trying to pull Lelouch towards a warehouse for safety.

Hearing his little brother's voice, Lelouch snapped out of his momentarily stupor. Seeing the carnage around him, he couldn't help but remember the scene that greeted him when their mother died. Sure he saw all these in the war but this is the first time he saw someone's brain exploded right in front of him. Blinking, he realize that he is somewhat being pulled inside a warehouse. Following the hand that is making him to move reluctantly, he saw Rolo! What is Rolo doing here? Shouldn't he be in school?

"Rolo! What are you doing here? You can't be here!" Lelouch shouted in panic remembering the situation they are in.

"Onii-sama, I-," Rolo replied but was cut off by soldiers entering the warehouse and shouting, "DIE, you useless elevens!"

Rolo immediately went to a pile of boxes and hid there with Lelouch.

'Oh my God, this is not happening! If only I could somehow pause what is in front of me. I'm not that good enough to see bullets and one way or another, the only time we will be able to come out alive and unscathed if divine intervention took place. But that would be impossible! No I refuse to die like a pig in slaughter! But I also need to protect onii-sama! Shit! I don't think, we are going out of here alive.' Rolo thought with clenched fists while trying to hold back a sob that is threatening to come out.

"It's okay Rolo. We're going to get out of here. Don't cry. I'll protect you." Lelouch said soothingly while rubbing Rolo's back in a gentle manner.

A few minutes later the shooting, the crying, and the pleading stopped and time seems to stand still.

"I think that's all. Let's go." An authoritative voice said.

Unfortunately for Lelouch and Rolo, they forgot that the soldiers are still in the process of going out of the warehouse. Both Lelouch and Rolo shouted Nunnally's name when they saw her coming out of an underground staircase followed by a green haired girl.

"Oh, it seems that we missed. Search the place."

"Yes sir."

A few minutes later, the three Lamperouge siblings found themselves at a gunpoint of several soldiers. Rolo would have fought them with all his might but Lelouch gave him the look to stop whatever he is planning and let him handle it.

"it seems that there is a mistake. We are not rebels. We are only at the wrong place at the wrong time. I doubt you would shoot a Britannian." Lelouch tried to say in a calming manner.

"True but you lot have seen much and we can't let this go out in public. I'm sorry for killing three Britannians but orders are orders."

And with that, the one in charge gave his command to shoot down the three siblings.

Unconsciously, both Rolo and Nunnally tried placing themselves in front of Lelouch while waiting for their end to happen. Their only consolation is that the three of them will die together and no one would feel the loneliness of losing someone again.

But their end didn't happen for the green haired girl went in front of them and took the bullet that is meant for them.

"No! CC! Don't die!" Nunnally sobbed while she falls down to the ground in despair.

"Nunnally, It wil be okay. Don't cry." Lelouch said gently while hugging Nunnally in the ground.

Rolo on the other hand, stands in front of his siblings and glared at the soldiers daring as if daring them to shoot.

Suddenly the supposedly dead girl's hand grabs Nunnally's hand that is interconnected with Lelouch's and Rolo's leg.

A few seconds later and suddenly to the confusion of all the soldiers both Nunnally and Rolo said, "I accept."

While Lelouch replied in confusion, "I don't want the power of kings you speak of."
