Chapter 2 - A Stranger and a Ring
"Suzaku, C.C.," Lelouch said to himself, heartbroken about his now-ruined plan, "I'm so sorry. The Zero Requiem, the only way to let everyone forget about Euphemia's massacre, is now a failure. Now everyone knows that I ordered Euphy to kill the Japanese, and I have taken the blame, thanks to Frieza. If I hadn't used my Geass on Euphy, none of this would have ever happened!" His eyes shed tears of grief as he clenched his fist. "Father giving me false memories. Rolo assigned as my fake brother. Shirley being killed. Nunnally's death. And to top it all off, my finding out that Mother had used Geass to save herself from death!"
He was standing outside the palace, not knowing that another figure, also dressed in a cloak, was watching him.
"I can see that you are pained, Emperor," the figure said, coming closer to him. "But all of it can't be taken back now, can it?"
His coming closer got Lelouch's attention.
"Who are you?" asked Lelouch.
"Someone who has lost his home planet, thanks to Frieza," replied the stranger. "He killed my father, my home planet's king, nearly all of my race."
"Frieza killed your father?" Lelouch repeated.
"Yes," the stranger replied. "And I am going to make doubly sure that he will pay dearly for what he's done."
The stranger clenched a fist, and started to glow from inside the cloak.
"You're not human, are you?" Lelouch asked, surprised.
"You're right, I'm not," the stranger asked, "even though I was raised on Earth. I am a Saiyan, and in the name of my people, I vow to take Frieza down. And with your Geass combined with my strength, we will both defeat him!"
"What makes you think that?" Lelouch gloated. "There's nothing left for me to live for. I've lost my sister, thanks to the F.L.E.I.J.A., a warhead capable of destroying everything within a three-thousand-meter radius."
"I doubt your sister is truly gone," the stranger disagreed. "I can feel that she is still very much alive."
"Nunnally, alive?" Lelouch repeated.
"Yes," the stranger nodded. "And together, we can find her."
"Hmmm, very well," Lelouch agreed. "If you uncover your face, I promise I won't use my Geass on you this time."
"Fine," the stranger said, about to remove the hood from his head. He revealed himself to have golden spiky hair, which hasn't changed since he was a baby. He had turquoise pupils in his eyes.
"My birth name is Kakarot, but the person who raised me named me Goku," he said. "I have achieved the form you see before you upon witnessing the death of a friend of mine at the hands of Frieza. He was once a rival when we were kids, but a strong friendship developed between us overtime. His name was Krillin, and he was a human."
"I'm sorry for your loss."
"But there is a way to bring him back," Goku replied. "I have witnessed this when Frieza brought someone back from the dead, and made them his servants. It's called the Super Dragon Ring, and it has about as much power as the Dragon Balls of Namek. It is able to grant the wearer three wishes, but only at a twelve-hour time limit in between."
"How did he find such an object?" Lelouch asked. "Is it more powerful than Geass?"
"Much more powerful," Goku answered. "He can even use it for his ultimate goal: immortality."
"Okay," Lelouch said. "I will help you take Frieza down and take the ring from him."
"Good," Goku agreed.
On Frieza's ship, Suzaku was held captive. His wrists and ankles were clasped inside glowing rings, and Frieza was standing before him.
"Well, Sir Kururugi," he said. "It's such a pity that your little plan with Lelouch hadn't gone on as planned."
"How did you know about the Zero Requiem?" Suzaku asked.
"Simple," answered Frieza. "I had my general, Golensi, spy on you all in secret, back in Baghdad. He reported the news to me."
"Golensi?" Suzaku repeated. "Who is Golensi?"
"I thought you'd never ask, father killer," said a familiar voice.
Suzaku was shocked to see that Golensi, who had entered the room, was Mao, dressed up in PTO armor. His Geass was permanently deactivated, as was Lelouch's order for him to never speak again.
"Mao?" Suzaku began. "But how can this be? C.C. killed you."
Author's note: Mao's alias under the Planet Trade Organization, "Golensi" derives from "Gorenshi" which means "Carambola" (or "Starfruit") in Japanese.
