"Where…Am… I…?" Lelouch asks feeling slightly dazed.
"Well, right now we're going back to school." Rivalz replied. "Anyways, that move back there that you did, why did you move the king first? Rivals added with a question.
"Well, if the king doesn't move then how does he expect this subjects to follow?" Lelouch replied with a question.
"Man, that's deep… You wanna be a major company business owner when you grow up?" Rivalz asked.
"No, such ambition could ruin one's health!" Lelouch teases.
"Honk! Honk!"
HEY WATCH WHERE YOUR DRIVING, Idiots!"
Nagata turned angrily to avoid hitting two Britannian schoolboys.
"No! Not there!" Kallen shouted.
The girl beside him had cried out too late. The truck crashed into an old building. C.C. was jilted a bit, but suddenly her Geass mark began to glow, at that moment she could feel Lelouch, suddenly a pile of memories began piecing themselves back into place. How she first met Lelouch to the time they walked through the thought elevator Anson created, using Lelouch's code, or as she was told.
Outside the crash scene, Lelouch Lamperouge got off his friend's BMC RR1200 Sidecar. Lelouch noticed a small gathering of lights around the truck that seemed to form a girl.
"What's..."
"Damn, Lelouch. Seems like our energy line's been cut."
"Right. Say...what's that?"
"Hey! Over here! Whoa! Nasty..."
A crowd had already formed, not to help, but to speculate.
All those idiots... but I can't shake the feeling that I've done this before. Lelouch shrugged off the feeling and rushed to help the driver.
"Look, everyone! Looks like the student rescue team has arrived!" The snide bystanders chuckled at Lelouch's attempt to save someone's life.
"Hey! Are you alright?" Lelouch shouted hoping they would hear him. He tried to move a metal beam but proved too heavy for him.
Man, why can't that guy just swallow his pride for once and give it a rest already, now we're gunna be late for school. Rivals complained pushing his bike down the ramp to find Lelouch.
They probably can't hear me; they may still be in shock. Damn, How should I...Oh! Lelouch turned to find a metal ladder leading up to the roof of the truck.
Lelouch climbed up the ladder on the side of the truck.
"Hey! Can you hear me in there?" Lelouch shouted yet again suddenly a reply came this time.
I've found you-
I know that voice! –Damn, my memory seems to shift, just can't put my finger on it… Lelouch thought
The truck driver rapidly threw the truck in reverse. Lelouch fell in the empty top.
Rivals looked as the truck left and asked himself, "So, would you call that a hit 'n run?"
"Hey! Stop! I'm still in here!" Lelouch cried as he was thrown around by shaking truck.
Why don't they have ladder on the inside too? How am I supposed to get out?
"STOP THE VEHICAL! SURRENDER NOW AND YOU MAY STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO DEFEND YOURSELF IN COURT! SURRENDER AT ONCE!" Lelouch heard what seemed to be a police or military microphone.
Lelouch was tossed again as the driver swerved to avoid the rapid firing of gunshots.
"GIVE UP NOW! OR WE'LL SHOOT TO KILL!" Lelouch heard once again.
Lelouch could hear bickering from the drivers seat, but couldn't figure out what they said due to his own thoughts clouding his mind.
Oh shit! The army? Wait...calm down. It's too dangerous to get out. If I jump I have the chance of breaking something important or even getting shot. Maybe I can use my cell phone to...
Lelouch heard the door leading to the driver seat opened. And dodged behind a crate to avoid being seen; A familiar looking redhead passed Lelouch's hiding place, taking off a lab coat.
"Can you enter the subway via the Azabu route?" Kallen asked.
"Kallen! Let's use it here!" Nagata insisted.
"Because that would mean a bloodbath!" Kallen replied, annoyed.
"Uhh...yeah. You're right." Nagata replied feeling shamed.
There's two of them. What did the man want to use? That woman... I've seen her before, many time at that too, Damn my memories are in a jumble what was that image I saw when I was on the ladder that mask.
The back door opened. Light shined in and Lelouch got a good look at the mechanism that the girl had gotten into. A Knightmare; The fourth-generation Glasgow.
Shit! These guys are actually terrorists! Lelouch's mind shouted.
Gunfire could be heard from the driver's cockpit, and a swift turn threw Lelouch to the side, when the ride was only bumpy, Lelouch took the chance to sit down and pull out his cellphone.
Damn, no reception, they are probably in the underground tunnel leading to the ghettos getting out now would be suicide… Okay, I'm not big on military but I can take their protection, if I give them a terrorist communicator… Oh wait, I forgot…
"Ah hah," Lyod stared into Bartley's face.
"Uh… What are you doing? Bartley asked.
"Looking at a man who blundered, am I right?" Lyod remarked smugly.
"Why you!" Bartley getting ticked off.
"Well, you really screwed this one up, terrorists came over and stole whatever you and prince Clovis was secretly working on… Retrieving it is simple but you want to sweep up all their compatriotism in addition. Let the terrorists go and you can find their hideout too! Congratulations, Ms. Ceciel your reasoning was spot-on! Lyod giddily shouted.
"Oh, it was nothing, I just thought it was strange that's all." Ms. Ceciel answered feeling embarrassed.
"Okay, what does the special core want from this." Bartley defended without letting the knowledge out about C.C out.
"I merely saying I would like to help with the clean up…" Loyd answered.
"To assist?" Bartley asked with disbelief.
"Correct, because it's data I want." Loyd answered.
"Excuse me but what exactly have they stolen anyways." Ms. Ceciel asked.
"Uh… chemical weapons, in other words… Poison Gas…" Bartley lied putting as much honesty by doing so.
Suddenly, the truck came to a struggled stop knocking Lelouch off balance.
An accident? Or else...
The side of the truck opened. Lelouch was too busy investigating the capsule in front of him to notice.
I can use this chance to climb up...
Suddenly, a spiraling soldier came into view. Lelouch instinctively covered his head as the soldier spiral-kicked Lelouch to the floor. After a glance at his armament, Lelouch felt the stabbing sense of realization.
A...are you Britannian! Lelouch asked with much distasted and pain.
The soldier clutched Lelouch's neck.
"That's enough mindless-murder!" The soldier ordered.
"Wait I'm not one of-"
"I can't believe you people planning to use poison gas! Don't play dumb with me!"
"Get off me!" Lelouch ordered.
Lelouch struggled against the tight grip. Rage at being blamed for something he wasn't guilty of filled him. He managed the kick out, forcing the Britannian to leap back.
"I'm telling you, I'm not here by choice! If there's any poison gas here, it was Britannia that made it, right?
The soldier seemed confused for a minute.
"My God..."
"Mindless murder my ass… Then why don't you obliterate Britannia!" Lelouch angrily asked.
The soldier took off his helmet.
"Lelouch. It's me, Suzaku."
The raven-haired prince gasped. Memories of their past together flooded his mind.
"Suzaku? You became a Britannian soldier?"
"And you? Don't tell me you're..."
"What are you saying?"
Suddenly, the loosened capsule opened. Bright light filtered out. Sensing danger, Suzaku grabbed his gas mask and forced it on Lelouch. They both fell to the ground. The vision of a beautiful, long-haired girl appeared in the capsule. She wore a straitjacket; she stared into Lelouch's eyes before losing conscience again.
"That's not poison gas! What is it!" Suzaku dumbly asked not noticing that it was a female.
"Tell me, Suzaku. Poison gas? This girl?" Lelouch asked Suzaku.
Lelouch held the seemingly unconscious girl in his lap.
"Hey, that's what we were told in the briefing. I swear." Suzaku replied.
Suddenly, lights were flicked on. The Royal Guard of Prince Clovis appeared. The commander sneered at the sight of Suzaku.
"Damn monkey. Being an Honorary Britannian doesn't excuse you!"
Suzaku ran up to his superior.
"But sir, I was told this was poison gas!"
"How dare you question orders!"
This is bad. On course of this situation, this would pose a threat to Suzaku's superiors if unleashed. Lelouch reasoned with himself.
"However due to your outstanding military achievements, I'm going to be lenient," The commander pulled out a gun and offered it to Suzaku. "Private Kururugi take this and execute this terrorist.
"But he's not a terrorist, he's just a civilian who got caught up in this" Suzaku stated shocked that he might have to shoot his childhood buddy.
"You insubordinate! That's an order! Didn't you swear loyalty and life to Brittania?" The commander stated already losing patience.
"Yes, but-but I can't." Suzaku stated.
Lelouch's grip on C.C's shoulders grew tighter. Suzaku seemed to shake his head. He looked directly at Lelouch and C.C. and stated, "Sorry sir, but I won't shoot a civilian. I can't follow your orders, sir"
"Very well, then die."
The commander then took the gun and shot Suzaku. As Suzaku fell Lelouch cried, "SUZAKU!"
The commander proceeded to converse with Lelouch as though nothing had happened.
"You look like a Britannian student, but today is just not a good day to cut class, now is it? After you've taken the girl, kill the student!"
"Yes mylord!" The soldiers replied like trained robots.
Lelouch watched on helplessly. C.C. looked up ready to unleash her newly acquitted powers Anson gave her to save Lelouch. However, inside the van, the injured Nagata took his last siege against Britannia.
"Death to… Britania… Long live Japan!" Nagata shouted as he pushed the button that would cause the drivers seat to explode.
A blast went directly up to the rotting ceiling. As debris and dust fell, Lelouch pulled on C.C. and made their getaway.
The cries of Elevens being massacred filled the air. Lelouch felt his world and time running short. The girl in the capsule was now awake. He took his anger out on her.
"This chaos is all your fault isn't it?"
"But besides that Britannia has... has even killed Suzaku!"
Lelouch felt his worlds crushing him. Britannia and Japan. Both parts to his turnabout life. To preserve his sanity and life, he had to take action. Just then he felt an all too familiar power it started to tickle his left eye but disappear almost immediately.
C.C looked at Lelouch, feeling that it was almost time that he would fully regain all his memories.
"What do you mean they got away! You dare call yourselves the Royal Guard!" Bartley shouted over the com.
"Forgive me my lord, uh… we'll continue the investigation." The commander stuttered.
"Why do you think I only told you people about this!" Barley shouted as the com closed.
"The plan has moved forward, I will be disinherited if the homeland finds out about this, just tell them we're doing an urban renewal here or something, because in the name of Clovis li Brittannia I order you, DESTROY SHINJUKU GHETTO, LEAVE NO ONE ALIVE!" Clovis ordered.
All Knightmare pilots answered yes, my lord.
Jeremiah, suddenly felt weird as he activated his Sutherland, "Wait… Where am I?"
Right, I remember now, Master Lelouch told me to follow my orders. Alright, master please wait for me.
"Ok? You wait here." Lelouch told C.C.
The rapid fire of guns filled the air. Elevens fell, dead before they hit the ground, shot through like bloodied paper.
"Well?" The commander's familiar voice rang out.
"Only looks like Elevens here, sir." A soldier replied stating the obvious.
"Hmm… and you're sure? That the exit comes out here?" The commander questioned.
"Yes sir. It matches up with our map of the old city." Another soldier replied.
Lelouch turned to lead C.C. back down the stairs. Suddenly, a little girl weeping could be heard. Followed by rapid gunshots. He flinched. An eerie silence ensued. As the Royal Guard turned to leave, Lelouch he heard his cell phone ring.
Lelouch, you are an idiot! Why didn't you turn that damn thing off? C.C thought aloud trying to connect to Lelouch's Geass.
FUCK!Why didn't I remember? Who's calling me right now? What should I do? Lelouch cursed whoever called him, his mind already centering on one person who would randomly call him. Shirley if I die here this will be all YOUR fault! Lelouch thought.
He closed his phone immediantly, but the harm was done. The soldiers grabbed C.C. and shoved Lelouch against the wall.
Lelouch couldn't hear what the commander was saying. As death fluttered impeccably close to him, the commander's voice was like a booming cannon. He could hear the noise, but it was too loud to work out the finesse of the words.
"You bastards..."
Lelouch saw the monster cock the gun. He flinched, in anticipation of what was to happen.
C.C. broke free of her restraints. She flung herself in front of Lelouch.
"No! He mustn't die! Don't kill him!"
The trigger had already been pulled. C.C. felt the bullet go straight into her mark.
"You shot her!"
Still in a trance, Lelouch for the hand of the girl who died for him. He could hear the noise that the killer was creating. Something about how the terrorists had killed the girl.
No...you bastards, you killed this girl... What is this? Suzaku...and now this girl! Is this the end for me? With me not having done a single thing in my life? So easily...Nunnally!
Damn If… IF only I had POWER! Power to get through this place! Power enough to stand against this world!
Lelouch felt a hand grip his shoulder, C.C had risen from where she was shot, C.C held Lelouch's shocked face and looked him in his eye and planted a kiss or so it was seemingly towards Lelouch.
Lelouch's eyes widened as memories began to flow through his mind
'What is going on?'
"You want power?
'This girl? It can't be!'
'If it's power, you already have it? Only to be caged of amnesia due to the use of your Code and the travel through the time barrier. Recall, Who you truly are, and what you are brought here to do and the power of the kings!
Flashbacks began, him dieing as the Demon emperor to the realization in C's world, his meeting with Anson, to him back in to Shinjuku ghetto.
Now, let your memories return, REAWAKEN LELOUCH! AND TAKE YOUR MEMORIES BACK TO WHAT THEY WERE!
As Lelouch felt his soul being sucked into a different dimension filled with hallucinations, an altogether too-familiar voice rang out.
A feeling beyond hate and rage overflowed within him.
Right, the thorn like life I had for quite some time, they were all fabricated memories, I remember now, my purpose, it is time, for the world to be fixed.
Lelouch Stood and helped C.C stand.
"That, girl! How I shot her through the head! What's going on here!" The commander shouted his gun shaking.
Lelouch's eye began to glow his Geass appearing he said the all to familiar phrase, "Lelouch Vi Brittania orders you, no all of you, DIE!"
"What-"
"YES YOUR HIGHNESS!" All the soldiers shouted along with the Commander.
"FIRE!" Was the last thing the commander stated before killing himself.
"Lelouch, welcome back…" C.C stated.
Yes, all my life I have lived a lie, I have died and now I have returned to fix what I could of mended, yes, my plans will all go accordingly this time. Anson, I will not have the world destroy itself, but I will have the world fixed to the better place where everyone could live happily ever after. Yes, that is the wish and Geass I will give to the world, as Lelouch Vi Brittania I swear, I WILL MAKE THIS A BETTER WORLD, NOT FOR ME, BUT FOR EVERYONE.
