Hey, guys! I'm back to give you guys a taste of my newest brain-fart of a crossover story. So… confession time, I actually got the idea for this while in the middle of brainstorming the plot for another crossover of the same franchises and listening to PeleK's cover of Brave Heart on YouTube when I suddenly thought "What if Lelouch somehow went to the Digital world after his death?" And here it is… or at least the first possible chapter of it any way. I'm not really sure if I'll make anymore chapters for this or at least not as long as this one was. Oh well! We'll see how you lovely people respond to this, or what happens later down the line.
So just a quick heads up since I'm tiered of repeating the finale moments of the last episode of Code Geass season two… just go watch it yourselves it makes it a lot easier on me in the long run. Any way without any further a due here is work in progress of the story so far. Enjoy.
It had been who knows how long since Lelouch was sent to… what ever this place was called. Once he died the collective unconscious throw his sole out of his own world because it had decided to prevent him from joining the cycle of rebirth to be his punishment for every last sin he hade committed in his life over the last two years.
'I suppose this is fitting for someone like me…' thought the helpless orb of violet and red tinted light that now represented Lelouch as it looked around at it's lack of surroundings of any kind. 'They could have at least sent me somewhere more scenic though.' he grumbled to himself in complaint.
Just then a small corgi sized wormhole opened in the fabric of space next to him and then began to relentlessly draw him towards it with the force of a vacuum cleaner on steroids.
'I just had to say it didn't I?' ironically thought the former demon emperor as he disappeared into the tear as fast as it appeared. Seconds later the sentient orb flew out of the now closed tears opposite side after he lost consciousness and landed in a white pristine grand hallway with a few dull thuds befor rolling to a stop infront of a pair of blue-green high heels.
"Hum? What is…" asked a foreign motherly voice as a blue-green armored hand of a tall angelic woman leaned over and picked up the orb that was once Lelouch and studied it intently before two smaller beings that look scarecrow wizards and recolours of each other came looking for her.
"Your hollyness! Thank goodness we found you." called out scarecrow one (the orange one).
"Wizardmon? Sorcerermon? What are you two doing here?" asked said woman as she quickly hid the orb in her dress.
"Lord Serahimon is calling for you. He says it's eurgent!" continued sorcerermon explained (the white one) as a grimes appeared apon Ophanimon's face and disappeared as fast as it came.
"Very well. I shall go see what he wants with me. You may go now." agreed Ophanimon as she excused her sevents, walked past them and down the hallway to the main hall.
"Yes, your Grace!" replyed the two smaller Digimon in unison before the walked off to do the work elsewhere.
'Even though those two kind souls are loyal and kind enough to look out for me I can't risk them getting involved in this…" Ophanimon thought to herself as she continued to walk down the empty hall. "And if this strange orb is what I think it is, then I just might be able too… Yes, I'll definitely be able to bring him back." she said to herself with renewed vigour in her step as the doors opened for her to enter.
"Oh, Ophanimon! there you are. I was starting to get worried that you where lost." said Serahimon as soon as Ophanimon came into his vision but the way he said it was off. When Serahimon spoke those words he sounded like he was referring to a Personal possession or trophy not an equal of fellow Digimon. This tone was something lady Ophanimon was not unaccustom too. The very same tone made her inwardly growl at him each and every time he spoke to her. "Now then. Let's get down to business, shall we?" he half asked the other Angel Digimon as "there" meeting began.
If someone from the outside where to look in on this alleged "meeting" of there's… no of Serahimon's, it was nothing but an self devised ego boost for the angel (if you could even call him that?) Digimon as Ophanimon's only role was to sit, agree and nod along to what ever Serahimon said, did or proposed in said sham of a meeting of his.
Needless to say, Ophanimon was in a living hell painted by a madman to look like what he considered heaven, and she hated it! She hated the angel sitting across from her who she once considered a close friend and ally in the past. That was until he all but killed her oldest and dearest friend and imprisoned her in his so called "perfect paradise" of his.
The so called "meeting" was over Ophanimon was excused and allowed to go back to her quarters. Once there she ordered Wizardmon and Sorcerermon to gaurd her door before she closed, then locked it from her side and placed the key on her night stand before kneeling beside her bed and started to pray. "It's now or never. Please Agunimon my old friend, lend me your strength once again?" she asked someone named Agunimon who wasn't there before she started glowing a faint shade of gold.
In the middle of a grassy plain that had a few rocks sparsely scattered about that stretches for mhiles in all directions, far from anything of any importance what so ever. A grown adult, or what looked like one, white skin, long flowing golden blonde locks of hair, deep red Japanese style armor and white markings with a black skin suite underneath, three horns, one from his forehead and two on his temples protruding outward from the odd helmet that covered just under his eye while leaveing the lower half of his face bare. He lay flat out on his back unconscious as the wind tussled his hair.
The only visible signs of life was still with him was the steady rise and feall of his chest with every soft breathe he took. As the gentle cool breeze lightly brushed agenst his form a shadow of another person who was blocking out the sun as they quitely approached him. There shadow stretching over and shielding them from the light of the Suns rays.
"It looks as though I am regretfully out of options. Forgive, Agunimon, my dearest and oldest friend. But I am afraid that I must once again wake you from your slumber." apologiesd a calming, relaxing womanly voice as the shadowy figure of the new comer elegantly sat down behind the unresponsive and supposedly acclaimed Agunimon's head.
A slim, feminine, angelic and beautifully designed blue-green gantlet covered hand then reached out and ever so gently caressed his cheek as a second appeared and the two cupped the sides of his head and moved it onto the supposed lap of said woman wearing similarly designed blue-green armor over a white dress and began softly running her armored fingers through his hair as carefully as humanly possible trying not to wake him from his slumber.
She then leaned in and softly whispered into his ear. "time to raise, oh hero of the flames of old. For there are still those who need you to protect them, to fight for them in this world, the Digital world, our world." as soon as those words left her mouth she reached into her dress with her right hand and pulled out an orb of violet data with a crimson tint to it.
"I know that you sealed your body away after your battle with Lucemon (satanism mode), which you and the other nine warriors of our time vanquished… but at a grate cost to yourself. The cost of your sole tearing itself apart from the inside out until you died." spoke the woman as she started tremble as tears ran down her face and onto his forehead.
"Thousands of years ago. You risked your life to save mine and countless others time and time again on multitude of occasions while never asking for, or expecting anything in return. Now I must rudely that you do so again, old friend." she asked as she moved the orb to the centre of his chest and held it there with both hands. "But regretfully I am sorry to say that… though you have sealed yourself away until the curse could be removed that is now longer an option. I-I'm afraid that your sole has long since passed. Leaveing nothing but your body, an empty shell without a Digicore behind." she stutered trying to fight back her emotions.
"For as long as we've known each other you have never backed down from doing what you perceived as just, or from defending the weak and the innocent. And I… I have always supported you in your journey until the fated day you left our island to join the nine worriers of the other islands to defeat Luccamon (Satan mode) and his ten generals. I beg of you. From the bottom of me heart. Please! If by some chance that you can still here me… lend this wondering sole your power to help us in our time of need and guide them down the road you once took so, so, so long ago my old friend." she pleaded, no begged as she parted her hands and let the orb of light slowly fall the short distance than fuse with the lifeless shell of her friend Agunimon taking the place of his Digicore.
Once the sole fazed into the vacant body a huge flash of blinding light covered the static figure in his entirety which died down seconds later to reveal Agunimon, the ancient warrior beginning to stir from his long slumber.
"W-where… am I?" asked what was once and still technically is Agunimon as he slowly opened his eyes with a grate amount of effort and steered up at the new face above him with unfamiliar, tired and hazy orbs of violet.
"Greatings young one." greated the mysterious woman in armor as she smiled down at him like a mother would with her child. "I am Ophanimon, now tell me do you remember what your name is?" Ophanimon asked for his name.
"I… I think it was… ugh!" Agunimon leaned forward and clutched his head as a sharp pain ran through it.
"It's alright. No one's rushing you. Please take as long as you need too." The motherly Ophanimon assured him as she took the confused Digimons hands in her own.
"R-Right… my apologies miss Ophanimon." apologiesd the dazed humanoid Digimon.
"There's no need to apologise. You didn't do anything wrong in the slightest." explained the female angel Digimon giving his hands a light squeeze. "So do you remember your name yet?" she asked again just as gentle as before.
"I think it was… L-Lelouch. Yes that's right! That's my name." answered the Digimon named Lelouch as everything started to come back to him from he and his sister's exile to his finale days as the ninty ninth emperor of Britania.
'That's right, I died. But wait? If I died then how did I get here?' he asked himself as the gears in his mind began turning at there usual speed.
'More importantly, where am I exactly? The last place I remember being stabbed on my parade float.' he wondered as he took in his surroundings and noted just how peaceful they where. Too peaceful infact.
"Lou… what? I've never heard of any species of Digimon called Lelouch before, how curious." Ophanimon's began to wonder if he was the first of a new line of Digimon that was cut down in before it's existence could be known of.
"Digimon? What's a Digimon?" asked Lelouch. Needles to say his question more then a little surprising to the motherly angel Digimon who had lost her train of thought by his question.
"What do you mean? You are… "WE" are Digimon. If you're asking what a Digimon is on a philosophical level then…"
"Um, I'm sorry to disappoint, but last I checked I am and always have been a human." interjected Lelouch only for a random though to run across his mind.
'Wait… is she not right in the head? That would explain why she has never heard of a human before.' and then the actual though popped into his head. 'Oh god I'm stuck in a field in the middle of nowhere with an escaped mental patient who dresses up as an angel! Oh this is not good! I've got to get out of here imeadetly!' panicked the newly reborn Digimon.
"Well this was pelesent." said Lelouch as he shoot up onto his feet in an instent. (looked like he was flipped forward by 90% as well as being so fast that it looked like it was motion blurred)
"I er… what?!" the shocked angel Digimon stutered. The speed of his movement taking her completely by surprise.
"I don't know about you but I'm just gonna go now. Good bye, miss Ophanimon. Is was… Interesting while it lasted, I think?" Agunimon/Lelouch concluded as his face was then abruptly planted the grownd just from taking his first step in his new form. "Ouch…!"
(Oh,my god! I just came up with the perfect nickname for him, Aguni-louch or Louchimon! XD A-am I funny yet…?)
"Ho,my! Are you alright Lelouch-mon?" gasped Ophanimon as she flew to his side in a blind panick.
"I'm fine, Ha ha ha ha ha! Just a side effect of being dead for so long nothing…" Laughed Lelouch awkwardly after removing his face from the soil beneath him just seconds before he noticed Ophanimon, if that was her real name, flying next to him with her six golden wings. "Y-You can fly…"
"Thank goodness you're unharmed. I feared the wosrt since you where only just brought to life a few life a few minutes ago." Ophanimon sighed with relief as she pulled his head into her chest for a hug.
"Wait?! Since when the hell can you fly?!" asked the frantic Lelouch pushing him self off of her. (Huh? Usually if a woman throws herself at a man he goes along with it, not pushes her away from him. Something tells me he's not that good with the ladies, is he now?)
"Um… all winged Digimon can fly. But more importantly, what did you mean be you where a human? Is that some new kind of Digimon that I haven't heard of before?
"… … …"
"Lelouch? Are you alright? You've grown awfully quite all of a sudden."
"Where the hell am I and how can I get out of here?"
(One lengthy explanation from Ophanimon about Digimon and the Digital World, a lecture on what human was from Lelouch and several hours to a possible day later.)
"So let me see if've got this straight." said Agunimon… er no Lelouch, who had claimed down down considerably since his freak out and was now sitting on the ground alongside Ophanimon with his arms crossed over his chest. "There are three types of Digimon in this world. Data types, Virus types, Vaccine types and the rare nuteural type, which each and every Digimon falls under one of these three to possible four categories?"
"Yes that is correct." affirmed the Vaccine type angel Digimon with a nod of her head.
"And each Digimon also has a attribute in addition to there type, such as Fire, Water, Nature, Earth, Ice, Machine, Wind, Lightning, Light and Dark or they could have no attribute at all.
"That is also correct." confirmed Ophanimon just as before.
"And that all of the different species of Digimon are divided up and scattered across the out lying Island that circle the main Island it's self. For example Fire Digimon are mainly located on Fire Island and the same with water Digimon on Water Island, Nature Digimon on Nature Island and so on so forth."
"Indeed." responded his conversation partner who was listening intently.
"And all Digimon bar those who make up the ranks of the "Royal Knights" who serve King drasil, the King of the Digital world are allowed to set foot on the mainland, File Island. King drasil's home and base of operations."
"I am afraid so, Lelouch." sighed Ophanimon.
"And each of those Islands has it's own legendary warrior associated with them. Like the Warrior of Fire, which you just so happened to have placed my sole into the body of said ancient Hero of old. Agunimon, the legendary Warrior of Fire Island."
"That I have." she nodded again.
'That explains what happened to me after I lost consciousness once that pixilated wormhole sucked me into it…' thought the newly resected demon emperor satisfied with knowing what happened to him after the wormhole appeared. But the WA still one question on his mind. "The Question we now have to address is, why?" Lelouch asked Ophanimon as she took a deep breath to claim herself in preparation to give him the answer he seeked.
"Because the residents of Fire Island are in great peril." she began with a sigh. "Not long ago a war broke out between the Digimon of Drak Island in the south and the Digimon of Light Island in the north. The armies of both side where lead by there New elemental Warriors, the first there have been in countless centuries. They began fighting one another believing that only the Digimon of there Island should have the right to prosper and flourish in the modern Digital world. Where they got these ideals I will never know but unfortunately dispite the best efforts of myself and Serahimon those same believes have spread to the other nine Islands. I'm afraid that it is only a matter of time until it reaches Fire Island as well."
Lelouch, for a lack of a better word was horrified, discusted, appalled and genuinely shock to his core, or Digicore in this case. To think he hade spent the last two years of his life as a human bringing peace to his old world in the long run only to be brought to another in the middle of wagering a soon to be ten way war with itself. Talk about irony.
"And that is why you brought me back to life useing Agunimon's body. To protect Fire Island and it's inhabitants, would I be correct in assuming that?"
"You would be correct in that assumption Aguni… I mean Lelouch." Ophanimon corrected herself as she confirmed his assumption as he then closed his eyes in thought.
'It would seem there is no rest for the wicked after. Oh joy…' he ironically thought to himself as he opened his eyes. "If you don't mind me asking. If you and Serahimon where working together to stop the war from spreading, then why bring me, or should I say Agunimon back at all in the first place?"
"Because… Serahimon is not as charitable, or caring, or kind, or even compassionate as he would have one believe." answered Ophanimon in a miserable tone while looking at the ground beneath her feet. "Serahimon, the original Agunimon and I where once close friends at one point in time. But as the years went by he grew jealous of how close me and Agunimon had become during that amount of time. After Agunimon had returned to the other Island after he and warriors of the other Islands over a few thousand years ago, he tryed to take control of the entire Islands populous for himself and in the process captured me as well. As soon as Agunimon heard of his betrayal he rushed to my attempted rescue. Dispite being beaten, heavily injured, out numbered, and overpowered by the Digimon he had sworn to protect now turned enemies he still managed to reach Serahimon and I at the base of obsidian mountain. There the two fought furiously. But ultimately, the injuries Agunimon had obtained from his countless battles before hand caught up to him. Serahimon saw this and used them agenst. Then the traitorous fiend sealed him away inside the face of the same mountain itself. since that day I have been nothing but a living doll to him, until now that is."
"…" Lelouch did not say anything he was to busy fuming over the the new knowledge ha acquired on Serahimon's character to say anything.
"Very well. I'll do what I can to help, but I'll do it my way with no questions asked. Are we clear on that?" said Lelouch stating his terms to there agreement frankly.
"That is all I could ever ask of you. Thank you, Lelouch." Thanked Ophanimon letting out her breath that she was not aware she was holding onto.
"When can I get started then?" Lelouch now known as Agunimon asked as he stood up from his place on the ground.
"Are you sure? Do you not wish to rest for a while. You still might be tired from earlier." asked the concerned motherly Digimon as she stood up and gently placed a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm quite sure. Besides I don't want waste anymore of your valuable time Lady Ophanimon." was Lelouch's reasoning which drew a light laugh from the angelic mother Digimon.
"There is no need to be so formal, sir Lelouch. I do not conceder talking to you as a waste of time. Infact our conversation has been most enlightening for the both of us." the angelic woman giggled girlishly. This unexpected reaction was met by a slight blush that formed Lelouch's new face.
"Ahem! Yes well um… I-I should probably get going." stated the newly made Digimon rubbing the back of his head. "Um… If it's not to much trouble, could you point me in the direction of the nearest town or village? That would be much appreciated." he asked nervously almost frantically.
'Wait, why am I acting like this? More importantly why do I feel… strange? I've never felt like this before. How odd.'' Thought Lelouch the Agunimon to himself.
"Heh heh heh. I'm afraid it's not quit that simple my friend."
"What do you mean?"
"This plain… no, this prison was made by the disspicable Serahimo in an attempt to prevent the original Agunimon from returning, but as his luck would have it he passed away a few hours afterwards." explained Ophanimon as there surrounds began to brack down around them.
"How barbaric! What then how do I get out of here?" asked Lelouch remembering the immanent danger all around him.
"The key for you to leave this place behind was to eknowlage the false hood of this plain." explained motherly Digimon as the wind stopped blowing. "This infinitely looping world was made to hold the Agunimon since it Doesn't recognise you, it believes it's job is done and is destroying it's self. Now that you have seen through it's falsehood, you are free to leave this prison and never return."
"Let me guess… once I get out of here I'll be in the real world where you will have someone waiting for me, Correct?" asked Lelouch the Agunimon taking a blind stab in the dark.
"I'm afraid not." sighed Ophanimon as she lowered her head in shame. "I was in such a rush to do this before Serahimo caught me I did send anyone out of fear of being caught. My apologies, Lelouch. But you will have to learn the ways of this new and foreign world all by ourself." apologiesd the motherly angel regretfully.
"It's fine. It was prosumtus of me to have said or even thought that in the first place." apologiesd Lelouch as it was his turn to do so.
"Thank you for understanding, good sir." the kind hearted angel the human resurrected as the ancient warrior of flames as a pillar of light appeared behind him. "It looks like it's time for you to go. Good luck out there sir Lelouch." siad Ophanimon as she wished him luck on his journey only for her voice to start shacking as she did so.
'Am I really going to just leave her behind?' the newly made Digimon asked himself as a then asked himself. 'What would Suzaku do if he was in my shoes?' suddenly a flash of his oldest and best friend ran through his mind. It was a vision of him doing what ever he could to help or possibly save her regardless if he succeeded or not which caused a faint smile to grace the former demon emperor's face. 'Even after death he wouldn't want to stop helping people regardless of race or ideologie. He he he, looks like Suzaku's old ways are starting to rub off on me. Talk about being late to the party? But I shouldn't say anything to odvious just in case Serahimo catches on.'
"Thank you for everything thus far, Lady Ophanimon. I hope to one day to repay your generosity that you have shown me on this this day." thanked Agunimon/Lelouch as he kneeled down on one knee, took Ophanimon's right hand in one of his own and placed a gental kiss on the back of it.
"U-um, that's quit alright Aguni… I mean Lelouch. You don't owe me anything nore do yo have to do anything to repay me." stutered Ophanimon who wasn't used to such praise causing to blush as red as a stop sign.
"Be that as it may. I still owe you a great deat of gratitude that I simply must repay malady." Lelouch corrected her on her as he rose to take his leave. "Until the day we meet you in person and I fulfill that deat, lady Ophanimon." Did the Nuteural Fire type warrior Digimon bid farewell as he entered the Ray of light only to disappear a second later.
"Thank you, Agunimon… no, Lelouch and good bye…" Ophanimon whispered to herself as she disappeared before the grassy plain the two where just standing in just a moment before faded out of existence, but not before she shed one last final tear.
