Geass no naku koro ni Yuureishi-hen
(When the geass cries out Phantom-chapter)
a.t.b 2015 18 June
"Everyone get to your seats now, I have an important announcement to make," hollered Viletta-sensei.
The class quieted as Viletta-sensei entered with two strange students entailing her.
Ironically, the sound of silence within the classroom awoke the slumbering Lelouch.
"Suzaku? Kallen?" whispered Lelouch as he peered at the two newcomers with his sleepy eyes.
The sun leaped out of the river like a fish, spreading its glorious sunlight on every corner of Ashford Academy. Its already been a month since the newcomers arrived. Suzaku of seventh and Kallen of ninth, the two new knights of the rounds decided to join Ashford Academy in their pursuit for education. The three stood atop the main building, looking down on the hustle and bustle of the festival preparations.
"Suzaku," Lelouch whispered.
"I know why you called me here, and i wont anwser." replied the person Lelouch was addressing.
Lelouch smirked. He knew it. He knew the truth. Or he thought he knew the truth.
Kallen stood in a corner looking at Lelouch with doubtful eyes.
The couple did not expect Lelouch to smirked in such a fashion, especially when his request was rejected.
"It's all his doing isn't it?" Lelouch added on as he looked into Suzaku's eyes.
That stare... was enough to send a chill down anyone's spine.
Suzaku jolted his eyes away and anwsered coldly, "None of such happened, we came here on our own accord. His Majesty did not have any influence on your decision."
Just as Suzaku finished, a figure came out from behind. There stood, C.C.
Her unfeeling eyes fixed on Lelouch, as though as she was fuming.
Lelouch eyes now turned to C.C, her stare was just as murderous as his.
"Come with me..." C.C told Lelouch.
As though as her words worked like magic, Lelouch obediently followed C.C. Only turning back to show Suzaku his smirk.
The tension was resolved. Suzaku heaved a heavy sigh as Kallen placed an arm around her fiance.
The door slammed shut.
The room was dim, only a silhouette of Lelouch and C.C could be seen.
C.C breath was heavy on Lelouch's neck.
"You have not forgotten, have you?" a feminine voice resonated throughout the sealed room.
"Of course not... that was not part of the pact.. i could confront them." replied Lelouch.
The female giggled, the body thrust onto Lelouch.
Sweat dripped down lelouch's bare chest. It was hot. The room had its windows opened. But still, the heat, was raging within him. A surge of blood flowed to his lower body, gasping for air, Lelouch allowed C.C.'s tongue to run wild on his chest.
"Thats right.. channel all energy... i will not lose this time"
"C.C you are pushing it too hard...you should relax."
"Hah! Not in a thousand years... its finally my turn.. the stage has been set, the pieces are shown. I will win this time. Unless you ruin it."
"Okay, i promise, i wont obstruct your plans anymore, what I did today was wrong and i shall accept your punishment."
"Very well... now grant me... all your energy, I shall suck all of it from you as punishment."
As C.C ended her conversation, she pressed her face onto Lelouch's and locked him together with her in a deep slow kiss.
"Lelouch! Wake up!" Shirley's voice rang within Lelouch's ears.
As he slowly lifted his heavy eyelids, an image of Shirley was formed.
"What is... it?" Lelouch protested in a lazy manner.
Without hesistating, Shirley grabbed Lelouch by his arm and pulled him out of his chair with all her might.
"eeeeeeyaaaah...... what did you do yesterday night," Shirley complained as she tried to grab Lelouch out of his sleeping position.
The fireworks soared into the sky and roared, welcoming the festive mood of the annual Ashford Academy festival.
Lelouch finally manage to awake and was together with Shirley, they were at the games stall checking out the games that the entrepreneur club had came up with.
"Lelouch!" Milly's voice shot out from the school's announcement system.
Appearing stunned, Lelouch frantically looked around, trying to identify who was calling him.
Milly continued her announcement, " The tall and scrawny looking guy at games stall number two is Lelouch! To all male and female Milly-fans, I have a mission for you!
If you could pull down Lelouch's pants, I , Milly Ashford, would glady spend a date with you in whatever way you want! Ahahahaha! So gambatte! Nipaa~"
Both Shirley and Lelouch were astonished.
"Why... Lelouch? It seems that you are quite popular," Shirley spoke, awaking Lelouch from his shock.
Males were already amassing around the stall, their eyes filled only with lust, lust directed not at Lelouch... but at Milly. However, in order to fulfill that lust, this obstruction – Lelouch, must be eliminated, no, must have his pants removed!
"Yuki senpai... Chiba... all of you... you.. arent... serious.. right?" Lelouch stammered as he addressed his crowd.
"Curse Milly..." Lelouch muttered as he hopped over the stall table.
Lelouch was physically inadequate to outrun this entire crowd, he was pathetically outnumbered and weak.
As he ran, the entire group of Milly-fans zoomed past Shirley, leaving Shirley in a cloud of dust as these pursuers were hot on Lelouch's tail.
Lelouch knew the compound like the back of his hand, yet his pathetic body could not keep up with the competition.
"Activate Shinkirou," Lelouch whispered to his collar button.
In an instant, the button flashed twice and as if Lelouch was being chased, a black Knightmare frame landed on the ground before him.
The Knightmare frame was polished and shimmered in the Sun with a argent aura. The machine opened its pilot hatch and Lelouch hopped into the Knightmare frame.
In a few seconds, the Knightmare frame grew a pair of laser-like wings and took off, coordinating with Lelouch's commands, the Knightmare frame guised itself in a cloak of smoke and soared into the sky.
"Thats a huge firework." Milly observed as she had her hand shelter her eyes from the Sun.
The firework did not explode, it vanished from sight.
"Idiot, Idiot, Idiot!" C.C screamed as she watched the spectacle from the rooftop.
Two hours has passed since Lelouch went missing. His pursuers had no idea where Lelouch ran or hid. They gave up and went back to the festival.
The carnival ended and evening soon fell onto the students were busy packing up the stalls and stowing away their tools when Lelouch popped out from seemingly no where.
Shirley saw Lelouch and gasped, " Where in Japan did you go!?"
Lelouch shurgged and brushed the question off by claiming he went to fly with the birds.
Kallen and Suzaku appeared from behind the food and beverages stall and walked over to Shirley and Lelouch, congratulating both of them for organising such a successful event.
Shirley blushed as Kallen went on commenting on how well her speech was. That is right, Shirley, Milly, Lelouch and Rivalz were all running for the position of chairman of the council. Shirley had gave her campaign speech today and Lelouch was supposed to do so too. Unfortunately, he was spending too much time in his Knightmare frame to bother about the speech.
"Ah... I heard your speech has been postponed till tomorrow. Isnt it?" Suzaku addressed Lelouch.
"Of course.. i would definately want to give my speech as soon as possible. Milly has sure caused me alot of inconvenience." Lelouch causually remarked.
"I think i heard my name," a familiar voice came from Lelouch's back.
Milly's face popped up from behind his shoulder following closely behind her was Rivalz.
"Gossip about me behind my back again... and i will make sure you wished you never met me," as Milly ended her statement, her face twisted in anticipation, as if she had just imagined what she would do.
"Thats right.. Milly can do what she wants... and im sure she will do what she wants." giggled Rivalz.
The five chatted happily, the wind changed, the stars moved, the fun has yet to begun.
When the geass cries, none survives.
Night fell as soon as anyone could have expect. The compound was cleared. Telling anyone that Ashford Academy celebrated a grand festival today could seem like a lie. It was peaceful and calm. The cicadas were in their mating session, beautifully crafting their love songs for their soulmates. Yet... in that distant shadow, cloaked in the rhythmic cries of the insects, someone was moving, no. People were moving.
"Z1 to Z2 ready"
"A13, A2, A9 in position"
"G3, F5, GA1 go starboard"
"H7, the enemy is situated at the west wing of the academy, initiate Operation S"
"R5, R6, Z3 support H7"
"H7 reporting, the room is -" the voice was cut off.
"H7! H7!"
Ashford Academy, was being invaded, by whom?
"Lelouch!" a pulse of brain waves entered Lelouch's head. It was C.C's voice.
"Ragnorak is here" The voice continued to echo in Lelouch's head.
The red geass sign glowed so brightly on his forehead, Lelouch awoke from his slumber and went over to the table.
"Yes C.C commencing defensive measures."
"This was all predicted, he has shown his pieces, we shall go according to plan."
"Very well."
Lelouch pulled open the drawer, residing within, was a Sawed off Shotgun. There was no way Lelouch could have gotten a Military weapon and the shotgun was his only choice of defense C.C provided.
"This should do, Lelouch now, to Milly's room"
The door opened and Lelouch escaped from his room.
In the west end of the dormitary.
"Hurry Suzaku!" Kallen's voice rang through the hallway.
"Yes. I will keep up, go ahead, there are two more down the hallway" Suzaku replied.
The hallway was then filled with two gun shots.
Two figures fell as Suzaku successfully sniped them with his handgun.
Kallen sped off towards the exit of the dormitory, with Suzaku close behind. Another figure popped up in front of Kallen.
"Get out of my way!" Kallen roared as she jabbed her knee into the masked man and gave him a kick with her heel. "Bam" went the shotgun in her hand as she fired at the nape of the man. His medulla oblongata pulverised.
"Why are we ambushed," questioned Suzaku as he fired another shot behind him.
"Japan libera-" Kallen could not finish her sentence, it was drown within a grenade blast that had exploded a few meters in front of her.
Lelouch's gun roared as he fired a shot at the enemy.
"There are so many!' Lelouch screamed to himself.
"Lelouch, what on earth is going on, why are there so many... armed men!?" Milly frantically questioned, although she knew she wasnt going to get an anwser.
Lelouch had went to Milly's room to grab her, and now they were ambushed.
Lelouch spun around and fired a shot at an enemy hidden in the shadows. He knew where they were, or rather, C.C knew where they were and was sending him information through brain waves. The geass mark on Lelouch's head was glowing crimson.
"Ahhh!!" screamed Shirley.
"Take this!!" Rivalz jabbed the assualter with his fist in the eye, the pen stucked within the enemy's eye and was screeching in agony. Another jab thrust the pen so deep into the skull that it created a cracking sound.
Rivalz went to get Shirley as soon as he heard a blast from the grenade in the dormitory. He equipped himself with anything he could find, and whatever he found, was simple things like a felt tip pen.
Other students were already awakening from their slumber and were opening the doors to check.
"A terrorist attack!?"
"What.. what.. is going on?!"
A student fell as he tried to attack the enemy with a golf club. He was too slow and got shot in the abdomen multiple times.
Rivalz pushed Shirley back into her room and sealed the door tight after tossing a paper cutter into the enemies' midst.
Suzaku swinged his fist and forcefully landed it in the masked man's face. The centrifugal force gathered from the fist smashed his skull in and after kicking away the man, Suzaku raised his shotgun and fired. Spurts of blood erupted from the other side of the man's body.
Three shots were fired, Kallen fired two and the assaulter fired one. The enemy fell but he left a deep wound in Kallen's arm.
"Kallen! Are you alright?!" Suzaku shouted.
"Yes. Im fine."
Suzaku emptied his magazine and reloaded the gun. Drawing another handgun from his pouch, he released a horde of bullets at his oncoming enemies.
Kallen grab her gun with her other hand and assisted Suzaku."Bam!"
"Now!" screamed C.C's voice in Lelouch's head.
The collar button of Lelouch flashed twice again. Shinkirou, the Knightmare, soared to the balcony Lelouch and Milly were at.
"Hurry!" Lelouch ordered as he assisted Milly onto the machine.
Just at that moment, an assaulter emerged from behind the balcony's doors and took aim at Lelouch.
"Lelouch vi Britannia commands you! Die!" as Lelouch said that, a crimson eagle shot forth into the assaulter's eyes and he ended his own life.
The east wing of Ashford Academy burst into flames as multiple grenades erupted.
"Rivalz..." Shirley whispered.
"Its alright.. im here" Rivalz reassured Shirley as he embraced her tightly within her arms, admist the dancing dragons of flames that surrounded them. The couple stood, and carressed each other with their final words of parting.
"Yes! Its working." C.C muttered to herself as she stood atop the roof.
"Suzaku... we may not... survive" Kallen whispered in his ears.
"They are after us, as long as we get out, they will chase us, no more innocent lives will be lost."
Kallen wiped a tear, she knew they would never get out alive. Suzaku saw the numbers fell and yet multiplied. When one man fell, two would take his place. They were unlimited. Suzaku gave a battle cry and aimed both of his fully loaded handguns at the armies that were amassing before them. Kallen closed her eyes and gave her silent prayed.
"Die!!!" She screamed and aligned her handgun in the same position as Suzaku, side by side.
"Even though we may not be wedded in this life, Kallen, I promise, i will fall in love with you in the next life, next next life, and many many reincarnations to come, so now, lets fight, lets give it our all, lets kill as many as we can together!!"
A barrage of artillery fire soared towards the enemies, rupturing their bodies, hearts, organs and bones. A finale created by Kallen and Suzaku – a bloodbath.
Shinkirou soared into the skies. Milly cried her heart out as she saw the academy burst into a cyclone of flames.
"Rivalz, Shirley, Suzaku, Kallen..." Milly sobbed and choked as she recited the names of her loved one out.
"Its almost done.. its almost succeeded... Lelouch we are going to win!" cackled a hysterical C.C.
Just before she could control her laughter, she saw it. She saw it once more. The bright pink light from beyond.
Lelouch squinted his eyes, as he tried to see what that pink light that came from behind the clouds was.
"No.. no! No!" C.C whispered," Run! Run! Run!"
It was too late. The entire scene vaporised.
