Chapter 3 - What Could Have Been
"I'll amend my plans to help out your special zone, "Lelouch said, holding Euphemia's hand. "But, not as your subordinate all right?"
"All right," Euphy replied. "Though you haven't got very much faith in me have you? Did you honestly believe that by simply threatening me I would shoot you?"
"Oh, no, you've got it all wrong. When I really want people to follow my orders they will not resist me. Whether it's to shoot me, to grant pardon to Suzaku, or any order at all."
"Oh, now you're being silly. Stop playing with me."
"I'm serious. For example, if I told you to kill all the Japanese it wouldn't matter how you felt about it."
Euphy giggled. "No, it wouldn't matter at all. And I wouldn't think of doing something terrible like that, Lelouch."
"Hmmm...Very well, Euphy." Both siblings held hands. "Let's give Japan back their home."
Euphy nodded in agreement.
"That's what would have happened, Goku," Lelouch said, thinking about the fateful day. "But when I joked about her killing the Japanese, my Geass suddenly activated by itself, causing her to take the order. She resisted it, but my Geass was too much for her. I couldn't control it since."
"I'm very sorry about what happened," Goku replied, laying a hand on Lelouch's shoulder. "But I understand that it wasn't entirely your fault."
"And because my Geass could only be used on a person once," Lelouch continued, "I had no other choice but to end the massacre, by putting an end to Euphy's life."
"But she was your sister," Goku added. "Why would you kill your sister to put an end to the massacre? It could have been prevented."
"Yes," Lelouch nodded. "And now, with Frieza planning to take over Britannia, and everyone knowing about what I did to plain little Euphy, I must abort my plans to give Japan back their home and to facilitate Zero Requiem altogether to join you and stop your home planet's destroyer."
"You should be careful, though," Goku warned. "Frieza has some dirty tricks up his sleeve. And believe me, I've seen all of them, even when I wasn't on the battlefield. I tried to save Namek from its destruction, but I wanted to stop him so much that he would suffer along with the planet."
"Did he?" Lelouch replied.
"Nearly," Goku answered. "His father, the true leader of the Planet Trade Organization, saved his life, but had made some modifications. Luckily, my archrival's son took care of them both before I arrived on Earth. Yet, some remnants of the PTO revived him with the Dragon Balls of Earth."
"And now that he's back, he's planning his revenge...on you," Lelouch replied.
"Yes," Goku nodded.
Author's note: The italicized words at the start of the chapter were a flashback of what would have been if Lelouch hadn't used his Geass on Euphemia. Goku's references at the end of the chapter where bio'd from the latter part of the Frieza Saga, the entirety of the Trunks Saga, and the beginning events of Resurrection 'F'.
