Chapter 6 - The Birth of Kreeg

"Awaken!" Frieza's voice echoed.

Through a perspective, a person's eyes have opened. Afterwhich, the first thing this person saw upon awakening was Frieza, hands clasped behind his back. He was smiling.

"Welcome back to the world of the living, Princess."

Said princess, lying on a stretcher, was Euphy. She had been resurrected, just like Mao.

"Who are you," Euphy began, "and what nationality are you?"

"I am Frieza," he replied. "I am what you Earthlings call a space alien."

"What do you want with me, and how do you know I'm a princess?"

"I've seen that you have started a massacre on the day you tried to establish the Specially Administrated Zone of Japan."

"Massacre?" Euphy repeated. "But Suzaku said that the Special Zone was a great success."

"And you believed him?"

"What do you mean?"

"See for yourself, Princess." With that, he pulled out some sort of remote control, pressed a button, and viewed Euphy's actions during the massacre on a giant screen. Euphy was horribly shocked when she saw this.

"Oh, God," she whimpered. "What have I done?"

Just then, her eyes began glowing pink. She still carried Lelouch's accidental order to kill the Japanese.

"I must do what he commands," she continued.

Before Euphy could move a muscle, Frieza put a device over his eye. It was a specially-made blue scouter. He pressed a button on it, and the scouter had shown the "Geass Canceller" sygil, which disabled the glowing in her eyes. The order had been cancelled out.

"What..." she stirred. "What did you do to me?"

"I have cancelled out your Geass order," Frieza ordered, "so that you can no longer kill the Japanese under it. However, I have a new order for you."

"A new order?"

"You must serve me as a subordinate. However, since your brother murdered you, you will no longer live your life as Euphemia li Britannia." With that, Frieza handed Euphy her Kreeg mask. "From now on, you will be known as 'Kreeg'."

Euphy gently took the mask from his hands, got up, and began to shed tears. She then held her blanket-covered side, where the scar from when Lelouch killed her was. Her chest had been covered with bandages.

"I...I can't."

"If you want to live, Euphemia," Frieza began, "you will do exactly as I tell you. After all, I'm doing what's best for your father, Emperor Charles."

Euphy bowed her head sadly.

"I will do as you ask, Lord Frieza."

Since then, Frieza had given her his squad's armor to wear. In time, she had murdered anyone who got in Frieza's way under his command. Whenever she did, however, she began to shed tears of sadness behind her mask as if she didn't want to do it.

Finally, on the day the Ragnarök Connection was attempted, Frieza was angered when Lelouch, teamed up with Suzaku and C.C., went against his own parents, and when the C's World had consumed them both.

Euphy, while saddened to see her own father be absorbed, knew that Suzaku was right. She didn't want the Sword of Akasha to slay God, nor did she want good intentions to be forced on other people, including Suzaku.

"Father, and Empress Marianne," she whispered. "I wish you would've seen the light, but you can't force good intentions on other people. And thank you for pointing this out, Suzaku."

Frieza sighed. "Well, since your father's plan has failed, I guess it's time we carried out my plan."

"Your plan?"

"To invade Britannia, Kreeg," Frieza continued. "In one month from today, we must prepare. Kreeg!"

Euphy stood erect when he turned to her.

"Sir!"

"Rally my troops," Frieza replied. "We begin the invasion in a month."

As Frieza walked away, Euhpy began to feel sad once again.

"C.C.," Lelouch said on the screen, getting Euphy's attention, "are you going as well?"

"When death comes, you want to at least be smiling, right?" C.C.'s reply made Lelouch narrow his eyes. "And you two. What are you planning to do now?"

"Huh?"

This got Suzaku's attention.

"You rejected Charles's plan," C.C. continued. "Instead, you chose reality and forwarded the march of time. However..."

"I know," Suzaku replied, glaring at Lelouch and readying his sword, about to strike. "Lelouch is the person who murdered Euphy."

"What of it?" Lelouch replied, glaring back at Suzaku. "You're the person who murdered Nunnally."

Suzaku was taken aback by this, dropping his sword. He then looked down.

"I had no intention of doing that," he said.

"Since then, I've lost everything," Lelouch replied. "The Black Knights, Rolo, Kallen. All of it. Now I have nothing to live for anymore."

C.C. looked down.

"I propose you start a new plan," she said to Lelouch. "It will at least clear Euphy's good name and shed enough blood for everyone to forget about the massacre you ordered her to start."

Euphy was taken aback by what C.C. said.

"You mean," Lelouch began, "have the entire world direct its hatred towards me instead of Euphy?"

"And I avenge her?" Suzaku added.

"Yes," C.C. answered. "It will be known as 'Zero Requiem'."

Both the two former best friends glared at each other, while Euphy once again shed tears.

"Lelouch, Suzaku," she began. "You don't know what's going to happen in the coming month."

"Well, well," Mao's voice said, getting her attention. "It looks like you're about to go against Lord Frieza."

"Golensi?!" Euphy gasped, surprised. "How long have you been watching?"

"As soon as Lord Frieza left," Mao replied. "One day, I'll let him know about your secret betrayal, and you will be punished."

With that, Mao walked away from her. Euphy feared not only for her brother and knight's lives, but also for her own.

"Oh, no," she whispered.

"And that's what happened, Lelouch," Euphy finished her story. "Pretty soon, Golensi will reveal my secret of going undercover to Frieza, and he will have me killed."

"But Goku," Lelouch said, turning to the Saiyan in question, "how do you know about Euphy's secret?"

"She sent me a transmission in secret," Goku answered. "She had informed me about Frieza's return as well. I would then be ready for it should that time arrive."

Turning back to Euphy, Lelouch asked, "Euphy, why do you not plan on killing me as revenge for what I did to you?"

"Because," Euphy answered, "I love you, no matter what happens." With that, she hugged her big brother. "I was well aware of this 'Zero Requiem' plan you attempted with Suzaku and C.C.," she continued. "But now that it's been prevented, might I propose a new plan to save Suzaku from execution?"

"Well," Lelouch began, "even though he did kill Nunnally with the F.L.E.I.J.A. warhead last month..."

"Why don't you speak to her yourself, big brother?"

Nunnally's voice got his attention. He was surprised to see his crippled and blind little sister, alive and well, as well as Sayoko.

"Nunnally?" Lelouch gasped. "How did you escape the explosion?"

"Our brother, Schneizel," Nunnally answered. "He told me about your Geass power, and why you and Suzaku have kept secrets from me."

"It can't be," Lelouch thought in fear. "Schneizel revealed my plan to Nunnally?"

"Lelouch," Nunnally continued, "I have also heard from Mr. Goku about Frieza's plan to invade Britannia. That's why...why I won't close my eyes to things any longer."

With that, Nunnally opened her eyes. Charles' Geass on her had been broken. Lelouch gasped. Euphy smiled.

"I'm not asking you to use your Geass on me as well," Nunnally requested. "I want you to listen."

Author's Note: Nunnally's alive, and she's broken her father's Geass of her own free will. What's going to happen next, and what is Euhpy's plan? Find out in the next chapter... Some elements of this chapter are combined from those of R2 Turns 21, 23 and 24.
