Glad that people still liked the Dr. Lincoln chapter, because I'm probably not doing another one of that universe. Gotta say, that was a rough period working on that chapter, with ninety percent of it being something I didn't exactly want to work on, but felt like I had to just because the part I wanted to write couldn't be justified as a whole chapter.
Still, hope you guys understand, as well for this chapter as well.
Plenty of people have been requesting Code Geass (what, is everyone getting hyped for the new show?). I admit, I haven't seen the complete series, and currently have no desire to actually watch to the end.
So let me do the Code Geass that I actually watched more or less to the end.
"Whipped cream pours like waterfalls!" The brown haired kid said with the most vapid expression on his face, letting a stream of whipped cream pour from the bottle in his hand.
"...What the heck is Lincoln watching?" Luan asked, looking a little disturbed.
"How do we know that it is Lincoln watching?" Lucy asked.
"What are you watching?" An older version of Haiku with green highlights and dressed in a one piece swimsuit asked. She and a version of Lincoln were currently in what looked to be a really fancy swimming facility.
"NOTHING!" Lincoln shouted as he smashed the back button.
"GOODBYE." The computer said as it exited out of the video.
"Just a feeling." Luan commented. "Oh, and look, Lucy. There's your friend."
"I see that. I must say, I am unsure about the green highlights…" Lucy said, trying to consider whether the splash of color was good or bad for this alternate version of her friend's image.
"But seriously, what was Lincoln watching?" Lola asked, her head tilting.
Luna looked at Lori, clearly begging her to defuse the situation and the incoming uncomfortable questions that was sure to come.
Lori raised an eyebrow at the rocker. "What are you looking at me for? I'll be in college long before our Lincoln starts doing...that. You better go ahead and start getting some experience."
Luna glared.
"By the way," Haiku said as she dried her hair with a towel. "Are we even allowed to be in here?"
"Nope." Lincoln replied, still staring at his laptop.
"You know, I've been thinking." Haiku said as she dropped the towel onto a nearby chair. "You could still quit being One. No one really knows who he is."
"Sounds like a title…" Lucy mused, trying to figure the significance of that world and the way that this version of Haiku said it.
Luan leaned in, a big old grin on her face. "Are you saying that he's 'the One?'"
All the other sisters groaned, just putting their faces in their palms.
"Man, it just walked into that one…" Lynn Jr said, shaking her head.
Leni looked confused for a moment. "Wait, why would Lincoln ever not want to be Number One?"
Before that conversation could continue, his computer suddenly rang, with a notification saying 'Incoming…'
"Hold that thought, my cousin is calling me."
Haiku gave an expression of slight disgust. "Uhh, not that Skype thing again."
Lincoln chuckled. "**** no, I'm a Oovoo guy!"
"...What's Oovoo?" Lola asked.
"I have no idea…" Lori admitted.
Luna rubbed her chin. "Maybe it's a chatroom for people who don't like Skype."
Clicking the notification, Lincoln sat back as he waited for Oovoo to connect, the laptop making sounds all the while.
Connecting…
He waited…
Processing…
He waited…
Finding Network…
Waiting…
Transferring to Host…
Still waiting…
I Think You're a Sexy Person…
No reaction to that…
What Are These Feelings I'm Having?
No reaction to that either…
Becoming Self-Aware…
Lincoln's face was still unresponsive…
Thank You For Waiting… My Love.
Maybe he actually froze his face at some time.
Connecting to SkyNet…
With that, the sound finally stopped as the program connected.
"...I swear this thing is getting faster."
"...Well, ain't that the most ringing endorsement of a service I ever heard." Luna snidely commented.
Luan shrugged, the most mischievous grin on her face. "Eh...I ship it."
Lori looked calm on the outside, yet continued to chant her mantra on the inside.
'Lincoln belongs with Ronnie, Lincoln belongs with Ronnie, Lincoln belongs with Ronnie…"
"You've got to stop!" A boy said, dressed in a nice suit and three white straight white bands across the bangs of his black hair.
"...As much as I find his look a little drab, I have to applaud his hair stylist. That sure is something." Lola said, looking appreciative at the cleaness of the stripes.
"Pretty sure those are natural." Lucy said.
Lola looked at the goth and scoffed.
"Please, I'm only six and even I know that genetics don't work like that."
"...Maybe for inhabitants of the mortal realm."
The alternate Haiku recognized him.
"Your cousin is Death the Kid. Which means…"
Suddenly, there was a picture of a black creature with a simplified skull mask gliding towards a hunched over hunch figure. The creature then transformed into a giant skull and opened its maw over the figure. With a resounding bite, the skull ate the figure.
"Death, the guy who reaps souls, a force of nature, the personification of what waits for all men at the end of their lives, who inexplicably had a kid, is your uncle."
The sisters' eyes bugged out.
"Dude, this Lincoln is family with the Grim Reaper." Lana breathed.
Lucy cracked a small smile. "Wicked…"
Lincoln nodded. "On my old man's side."
"...The King of Britannia, a monarch of an empire that was formed from the ashes of the British Empire after Napoleon conquered London by pissed off aristocrats that used the recently conquered American Colonies to jumpstart a campaign of conquest that looks like a Monopoly board with all the spaces having their property on it and your father who you happen to be rebelling against with the aid of American freedom fighters, is brothers with Death?"
"Yep...And what was up with that?"
Haiku shrugged. "I don't know, felt like randomly spouting exposition for some reason. Also, it's official… This **** makes no sense."
Luna looked around, realizing that everyone was looking at her.
"What?"
Leni spoke. "Well, aren't you happy that you're probably an English person in this one?"
Luna looked back at the screen, then began to consider the situation. "Well…
Finally, she just held out her hand flat with the palm facing the floor, shaking it. "Eh…"
Luan ignored Luna as she thought about the family tree of this Lincoln. "Man, Christmas must be fun at their household."
Lincoln chuckled. "Oh, wait until you meet my mom's brother!"
Suddenly, a black haired man with orange shaded sunglasses, a bright red trenchcoat and wide brimmed hat, and elongated canines shot something in the distance with his massive handgun.
"...Strange, I don't like this one." Lucy said, her frown just as deep as ever.
"Don't worry." The man, or vampire, said with a deep voice. "My bullets will heal you for negative damage."
Leni blinked. "Wait, if he heals you for negative damage… Does that mean that he's not healing anyone at all?"
Lola scoffed. "Geez, that's almost like how a gun works!"
"Hello, my good sir!" A blond haired man in a light blue trench coat, with a scar on his cheek, glasses that shone enough to obscure his eyes, and a crucifix around his around walked up to him.
"Are you satisfied with your current car insurance payments?"
BANG! 1-UP!
"HOLY-" All the older sisters covered the eyes of the younger sisters.
The now identified Death the Kid sighed. "Our ****ed up family tree aside, I need to ask you a huge favor."
"Nope."
"..."
"Fine."
"It's not anything huge, it just that it would be nice if you would STOP KILLING PEOPLE!"
"Oh my god!" Leni exclaimed, looking horrified. "This Lincoln hurts people?! THAT'S NOT NICE!"
"Well…" Luna said as she thought about it. "It's not like he's running a cultural revolution, or a music revolution."
"Yes, but you think that this Lincoln would also have the same capabilities as our own 'Man with a Plan.'" Lucy pointed out.
"Hey, you guys!" Lynn Jr said. "Don't you think his voice sounds a little weird?"
"YING!"
"OH, DON'T YOU START THAT!"
"Ying..."
"Stop…"
"Ying."
"Listen."
"Ying!"
"Not going to play this game with you…"
Suddenly, Lincoln's eyes widened. "OH MY GOD!"
Death the Kid looked at him. "What is it?"
"YOU'RE IN MY COMPUTER RIGHT NOW!"
The Kid looked confused.
"Don't go messing up my very secure and personal operating system..."
"Hey, haven't heard Lisa in a while. Is she alright?" Leni asked, looking at her younger sister, still having her face in her palms.
Lola looked over her sister's body. "Having some experience with this, I say that Lisa has had an adverse reaction to the stupid."
"Oh my goodness…" Lisa groaned.
The Kid looked like he was about ready to facepalm so hard.
"Oh my god… YOU OWN A LINUX!"
"YING!"
"Why does that even trigger the son of Death?" Lucy pondered.
Death the Kid remained close to his face camera.
"LINCOLN, LISTEN TO ME!"
"..."
"YOU'VE GOT TO STOP KILLING PEOPLE!"
"What?" Lincoln actually sounded surprised. "Why?"
"Because Dad is getting tired of reaping all the souls you've killed. You've made everyone here work overtime just to keep up with you. You're killing them faster than we can put them away. I think we even lost a few."
"That sounds pretty bad." Lynn Jr whistled.
"Never thought that the realm beyond the mortal realm would still require beaurancy…" Lucy muttered, a little less excited for the encroaching doom if this was what she had to deal with.
A translucent teenager with snow white hair and glowing green eyes appeared behind Lincoln.
"I'M IN YOUR SHOW, WONDERING WHERE THE **** MY MOVIE IS!"
Lincoln looked the teenager dead in the eye. "OI, GO BACK TO BOOMERANG, SPACE GHOST!"
Lincoln looked back to Death the Kid. "I'm sorry, what were you saying?"
"Who was that?" Lana asked.
Everyone else shrugged.
"My point is, you're killing all the wrong people."
Lincoln stared at the screen, the intelligence of a one year old matching the shape of the block to the shape of the hole coursing through them.
"So…"
"Yes…"
"What you saying is…"
"Yes…"
"That I…"
"Yes?"
"SHOULD BLOW **** UP!"
Death the Kid's eyes bugged. "NO!"
Haiku shook her head. "NO!"
The crimson dressed vampire uncle appeared again. "Do it."
"DOING IT!"
The screen powered down, leaving the sisters to ponder what they had just seen.
"...That wasn't comedy, that was a pity routine for people with ADHD." Luan remarked.
"You gotta admit, that was the best uncle ever." Lynn Jr commented. Lana raised her hand for a high five, and Lynn Jr obliged.
Lori looked over to see Lisa slumped over the control console, her hand on the off switch. "LISA! You alright?!"
"Lori…" Lisa muttered, her voice muffled by fact of her face down on the console. "How long has long it been?"
Lori checked her phone. "Two minutes."
Lisa groaned. "Felt like two eternities of sheer unadulterated idiocy just pouring into every brain cell…"
Author's Notes:
Okay, now that I did the one thing about Code Geass that I do know (and possibly pissed off a good portion of my reader base), let me go ahead and present the preview title for the next chapter.
The 99th Emperor Lincoln vi Britannia's Ultimate Plan For World Peace
