The world around her was wraped. She could she the towering figure standing in front of her once again.
"Awake," a strang voice resonated in her head.
C.C's eyes burst opened. She saw. The enemy.
"Charles vi Britannia... how nice of you to be greeting me the moment i wake up." C.C spoke with a distasteful scorn written on her face.
"Ohohohoho! How interesting... you are still hot headed even after losing that game to me?
" replied the towering old man.
C.C. Eyes darted away from the old man's unnatural stare. He was the king of Britannia, Charles. Of course, he was the king.. only in the game.
She floated up and danced around in this limbo that resembled outer space. Rocks of undefined proportions were floating around but strangely, they did not crash into the giant floating stone platform that C.C and Charles were standing on moments ago.
Right in the middle of the floating stone platform, was a giant board of chess. The pieces looked so grand and big they could easily pass off as goblets. The intricate design of the pieces amplified as they shone gold.
"You thought you have seen all my pieces, didnt you C.C?" Charles continued.
A "hmph" escaped from C.C's mouth as she loitered around a comet.
"C.C, it seems like you were tricked by him, that old man was too cunning and deceiving" a mysterious voice entered her ears.
Without opening her mouth, C.C anwsered the voice,"This game was an utter mistake on my part, i did not analyse it carefully."
"Yes, you were caught up with all the events that took place in the first, second and third game that you were stressed to win the last one. However, it seems that impatience brought about your downfall."
"His pieces were too powerful... they managed to overwhelm mine. I was so close to victory, when Lelouch escape, we could have hunted the main mastermind down and wipe him off the board. But... that light... that light that he used, a sickening trap that eliminated all my pieces in a single turn!"
"No. You got it wrong. His pieces are equally as strong as yours, but the way he used it was far more deceptive than anyone could have imagined. As an observer i saw, the traps he used are too vulgar to be mentioned. However, one hint i could give you was that the Japan liberation army was almost part of his plan, even though, that wasnt his chess piece at all."
"What!? The army was not a chess piece of his? Then whose was it!?"
"It was yours C.C, you need to learn how to control it. You have to-" The voice in her head could not finish speaking when a loud boom interrupted her thoughts.
"Enough! This is as far as i can take when it comes to cheating." The voice belonged to Charles.
C.C appeared stunned, she was not talking to him at all.
Charles smirked, " That is enough, I am no old fool. You have been helping her for four games now. Its time."
Silence fell onto the scene.
"That is right. Show your form! You silent observer! V.V!!"
The silence tore as a large portal cracked open the limbo. Through the portal, C.C could see, large amounts of fireflies, cicadas, bees, butterflies and all sorts of insects, pouring out from the portal, trying to drown both C.C and Charles in a sea of wriggly moving alive insects.
"Maggots! Get them away from me!" C.C screamed as she flicked three of them as they were crawling around on her chest.
Charles stood there laughing at the spectacle, his mouth wide open even though centipedes and spiders were crawling in, attempting to take a bite of his tongue and choke his throat.
But just at that instant, a loud roar could be heard and the insects transformed into fireflies – the insects that represent V.V.
As if a musical dirge was being played, the fireflies flew around an empty spot in a boring rhythm, and just when they least expect it, the fireflies collided with one another, forming a large storm of flames.
Out from the fires walked, a boy with silk blonde hair carressing the stone floor, with pure soft tender skin, seemingly immune to the scorching heat of the firery spectacle.
With a polite smile on his face, V.V spoke, " hello."
"BWAHAHAHAHAHA so its true," Charles spasmodically laughed.
V.V, the silent one has been watching the game from the sidelines and helping C.C as much as he could.
"I'm sorry if i offended you, Charles, but i have seen your game, and have decided it was horribly unfair for C.C. She came pleading to you for help and yet all you did was tossed her into an eternal endless game of mindless playing. I dont see how helpful you were Charles."
"V.V..." C.C whispered.
Charles was not surprised at this," C.C came to me... asking me to end her immortal boring life, what a mindless request, wasnt it? C.C, you have been tired of living for a thousand years, and yes, i will end it for you, however, you must complete this mindless challenge I have set, dont you?"
C.C had no choice but to nod her head in consent. It was the pact that C.C and Charles made before they started the game.
"I acknowledge C.C's bravery, and despise your cowardice. A.A" viscious words escaped from V.V's mouth.
Disgust twisted Charles's once cherry smile into an inverted "U". "Silence!" He roared, " That name has not been used ever since God abandoned us, you shall not speak of it! I am the one and only CHARLES!"
Her soft voice resonated throughout the limbo,"Yes, Charles, it is about time i end your game soon, it is getting boring, and i came to you to end my boredom and not to toss myself into endless boredom. I will defeat you, and you, will grant my death wish."
"The games were horrendously boring because your pieces were hacking away at each other's throats, I needed to do less but watch your friends killed each other. However, this will now end, my own legions shall finally ride onto your side of the chessboard, smashing and obliterate you and your friends. You shall lose to me for a thousand more years!"
"Very well, Charles, I hereby alliance myself with C.C, i shall expose all your malicious traps, and mete the final punishment onto you! I have spoken! I, the silent observer, will no longer remain silent! We shall defeat and crush you into a pulp and dispose of your nonsense! From now on, the game shall be fair!!" V.V rebutted, his eyes flaring crimson with anger and his mouth evolved into a sadistic smile.
A bright flash filled the limbo, the pieces moved back to the orginal positions. When the geass cries, a game begins.
