Note: I will try to put in some of the teenage pilots in Ashford Academy since someone suggested it.
Age 18: Kira Yamato and Athrun Zala
Age 17: Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton, Quatre Rabera Winner
Age 16: Shinn Asuka and Banagher Links
These are the pilots I've selected to go Ashford.
Chang Wufei is not included in this group as he will be part of another going to the Chinese Federation.
Loran and Turn A Gundam will come in the second part of the story. I just think that bringing Turn A is overkill despite not needing to use the Butterfly system and nukes yet. Also I make Funnels and DRAGOONS work in atmosphere since we all know Code Geass don't have space Knightmares.
As for CG/GM pairing, I will try out Ribbons x C.C. since they are so similar I thinks it would be interesting to try.
Current regular forces and ships:
Note: Some mobile suits and ships will remain in space onboard Celestial Being to guard it.

Chapter 2 Things Are In Motion
Arios returned to the secret hangar for Gundams of Celestial Being without anyone noticing. Lelouch and the green –haired girl exited Arios safely and saw three people already standing there with three other Gundams in the hangar. One looked Irish, one had purple hair and wore glasses, and one looked of Middle Eastern descent.
"Who is the schoolboy?" Lockon asked.
"I don't know. He was with her when I found them, so I brought him along in case he might know something." Allelujah looked toward the two that's the subject of the conversation now.
Lelouch thought about how to answer to these people and decided to use his Geass to get answers to his questions. "Who are you people?" Hoping his power work as it worked before during the Shinjuku battle.
The meisters just stared at him before Tieria spoke up. "Unless we trust you, you're not getting any vital information out of us."
Lelouch was surprised and tried again. This time Lockon spoke up. "Umm dude, what's with the red eye trick you're doing? It doesn't seem like a natural thing to me."
Lelouch sighed in defeat and thought out what dangers he might be in. He took account of the four Gundams that looks significantly different than any Knightmare he seen and figured today was an unlucky day for getting involved in very big things.
"Do you mind explaining who you are? What you were doing in the Shinjuku ghetto and that thing you were doing with your eye?" Tieria asked while keeping a neutral expression.
Lelouch does not feel like angering the four men with obviously dangerous secret weapons, but felt that it's best to give his school alias. "My name is Lelouch Lamperouge. I was there by accident and had no intention getting involved with the terrorists. I met this girl who I thought was dead at first when she got shot in the head. Turned out it seemed she's immortal and gave this power to command people to do what I want by making eye contact."
"Well it didn't work on us." Lockon commented on the boy's power.
"It worked on the Britannian soldiers back in the Shinjuku ghetto though I don't know why you guys are immune to it."
"That's because they're not from here." the green-haired girl finally contributed to the conversation. "If I guess, I'd say you people are from another world."
"You may call me C.C. as I no longer cared for my real name. By the way, the power I gave to him is called Geass which is called the power of the kings." the girl finally introduced herself.
She looked at Setsuna in the eyes because she sensed something from him. "You're not a normal human are you?"
"I am Setsuna F. Seiei and I am a Gundam meister for Celestial Being. I am also an Innovator, an evolved human who can use quantum brainwaves to communicate with others that can use it. " Setsuna replied.
C.C. blinked, seeing as she has no idea what quantum brainwaves and or what an Innovator is. It does sound interesting since the description reminds her a little bit of the power of Geass.
Tieria groaned because Setsuna told the girl who he is and what he can do. "Setsuna please don't just tell that anyone. We don't even know if she is part of any group."
"It'd be rude of us not to introduce ourselves. My name is Lockon Stratos. I too am a Gundam Meister."
"My name is Allelujah Haptism and it's the same thing for me. Nice to meet you."
"I am Tieria Erde." Tieria introduced himself and a little frustrated that his fellow pilots just practically threw out their code names in the open like that.
"What is Celestial Being?" Lelouch questioned as it sounded a like an organization since these people possesses dangerous weapons.
"Celestial Being is a private military organization bent on eradicating war by force." Lockon answered. "Although we're not here to answer your questions, you and she are here to answer ours. She is the reason we're in Japan or Area 11 as you Britannians called it."
Lelouch looked at them suspiciously before C.C. said something. "How much do you know about me?"
"We don't know much about you other than the fact that you are immortal though we do know about the Thought Elevators, Sword of Akasha, Ragnarok Connection, and even the Geass Directorate." Tieria stated while staring C.C. in the eyes.
C.C.'s face finally showed surprise and Lelouch looked questioningly at everyone, but she controlled herself back into a neutral expression. "How do you know about them?" she questioned them.
"Would you believe us if we told you a giant robot knight that can travel across dimensions told us?" Lockon asked half-jokingly.
C.C. decided she might as well not be surprised anymore as the idea seemed ludicrous and Lelouch looked confused. "Really, did he tell you everything about it?"
"Yes and what the Britannian Emperor is trying to achieve will only destroy the individuality of everyone that make up what we know as humanity. Humans cannot achieve peace through such a meaningless way because there will be no real humans." Setsuna said.
"True, it would destroy our individualities, but is humanity as it is worth existing?" C.C. asked.
"Peace can only be achieved when humans come to a true understanding amongst themselves. In order to create the future that everyone desired we must change ourselves. That is the way to tomorrow." Setsuna answered.
C.C. looked at him for a moment then smiled. "You spoke truthfully about what you really think. I can see that in your eyes and voice. They do not carry any amount of hesitation or nervousness."
Lockon whispered to the other Gundam Meisters. "Don't you guys think she resembles Ribbons a little bit?"
Tieria groaned quietly at the idea of a second Ribbons Almark and saw they are alike. Allelujah couldn't help but agreed.
Lelouch felt annoyed being left out of the conversation. What intrigued him was the mention of his father trying to achieve peace through somehow destroying humanity. "What are you talking about?"
"Care to be honest with who you are your majesty?" Lockon smirked at Lelouch's shocked expression.
"How do you know who I am?" Lelouch demanded angrily.
"Actually I was just guessing based on Marrianne's maiden name, you just revealed yourself immediately. As I thought, you are Lelouch vi Britannia." Lockon confirmed.
Lelouch was embarrassed he revealed himself so easily and the other Gundam Meisters were a little surprised that a prince was in hiding is in front of them. Tieria looked at Lelouch closely and saw that he resembled a picture of a much younger Lelouch vi Britannia.
"Lelouch our goal is to stop Britannia and your father's insane plan. Do you want to join us?" Setsuna asked a surprised Lelouch.
"Why? What else could I gain from possibly join forces with strangers I just met other the defeat of Britannia and my father?"
"You have a sister who should be blind and crippled right?" Lelouch nodded. "We can give her eyesight and legs back."
Lelouch was surprised then demanded "How? Not even the best doctor in Britannia could give either back to her."
"We have far more advanced medical treatments and technology that your world doesn't have." Tieria stated as a matter of fact.
"As a sign of goodwill we will be willing to help your little sister for free of charge. It can't hurt to try if you believe nothing will change right?" Lockon put on his friendliest smile and gave out his hand to shake.
Lelouch couldn't help but feel hopeful. He thought about it and shook Lockon's hand. "If you help my sister with her legs and eyesight I will help you guys with fighting Britannia."
Lockon smiled and said "Don't worry about it. We'll come for you and your sister in twelve days. We will have the doctors and equipment by then. Allelujah, can you help him get back to where he lives?"
"Sure, no problem." Allelujah nodded and gestured for Lelouch to come. They left the secret base, leaving C.C. with the others.
Tieria turned to C.C. "We would like you talk with our allies hidden in another base." He turned to a terminal connected to a large screen and Ribbons' face appeared.
"Tieria have you found anything interesting or this a social call from you?" Ribbons smirked.
"We found the immortal girl that the Britannians were experimenting on." Tieria replied with a slight tick mark on his head.
Ribbons turned his eyes toward C.C. and the two stared at each other with neutral expressions on their faces. "Hello and what is your name?"
"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking for my name?" the girl asked cooly.
Ribbons blinked and then gave a slight smile. "Of course it was a little rude of me I supposed. My name is Ribbons Almark."
"You can call me C.C."
"I take it that the Britannians have been experimenting on you for your immortality?" Ribbons asked.
"Yes that is true." replied C.C.
"Would you mind tell us about the location of the Geass Directorate?"
"I'm afraid what I can tell you now are not current information as their location has been moved to somewhere else a long time ago."
Ribbons closed his eyes for a few seconds and turned to his former enemies. "Please keep a close eye on her. Also we'll be arriving in Japan and the Chinese Federation to assist in fighting Britannia. Our forces will arrive with a couple of ships, including the Ra Cailum, Rewloola, Archangel, Minerva, Eternal, and Ptolemy. I will leave the innovades behind to finish production of the GN-Xs."
"Ribbons, we found Lelouch vi Britannia and his little sister." Tieria stated.
Ribbons blinked and put his finger underneath his chin. "This is interesting. Does he have any personal grudge against his homeland like the files I found suggested?"
Tieria nodded before Lockon spoke up. "He agreed to work with us in exchange for giving her little sister's eyesight and legs back. Do you think you can send some doctors down here to help?"
"Don't worry, I'll send you what you'll need within twelve days when we arrive."
"Thanks."
"If that's all, I'll disconnect now."
"Allelujah just happened to capture the remains of a new experimental Knightmare Frame today."
"I'll send some engineers to take it apart and see what we can do with it."
"That's everything we have to cover for today." Ribbons nodded and disconnected from Gundam meisters.
"Well that takes care of that." Lockon and the Gundam Meisters looked toward C.C. "Now how do we deal with you? Do you have a place to stay?"
"No, but if you order some pizza I'll be willing here to stay." C.C. stated.
The Gundam Meisters blinked in surprise as they did not expect pizza would be the first thing she demands. Lockon took out his cellphone and put in Allelujah's number.
"Yes?" Allelujah answered the phone.
"By the way, can you pick up some pizza from Pizza Hut on your way?" Lockon asked.
"Sure, why?" a puzzled Allelujah asked.
"It's what the girl wants if she's going to stay here with us."
"Okay, I'll pick up a large or two."
Lockon put away his cell phone and turned to Allelujah. "Okay when Allelujah gets back, you'll have your pizza."
C.C. nodded and smiled friendly. "As long as it's like this I'll cooperate. Do you mind if I talk with this Ribbons friend of yours? He seems to be able to hold an interesting conversation."
"Hm? Someone wants to talk to Ribbons?" The thought ran through the Gundam Meisters.
Code Gundam Musou
Next day came and Lelouch had to deal with creating a fit budget plan for the school clubs. He spotted Kallen being alone and decided to confirm his suspicion.
Kallen saw him approaching her. "Can I help you with something?"
Lelouch activated his Geass. "I want answers."
"Of course." Kallen obeyed under the power of Lelouch's Geass.
"Were you the one piloting the red Glascow in Shinjuku?"
"Yes." Kallen answered.
"Why are you involved with terrorism?"
"I am Japanese though I'm half Britannian."
Shirley was walking by and noticed both of them through the window.
Lelouch's Geass wore off on Kallen. "Is there something you needed?" Kallen asked not aware of what just transpired.
"No I got what I wanted here." Lelouch started walking before turning back to face her with his Geass activated. "Oh wait just to be sure. Don't tell anyone about Shinjuku."
"What do you mean about Shinjuku?" asked a confused Kallen.
"It's not working? What is going on here?" thought Lelouch as tried to think a way without making this girl more suspicious.
"Hey! Lulu! Kallen!" Lelouch turned around to see the voice belonged to Shirley waving at them. "Lulu, it's your turn to set up for class."
"Oh crap. I gotta get going or I'll be late." Lelouch quickly ran away to get away from Kallen.
Later, Lelouch took Kallen to a tour around the clubhouse. They were about to speak when the other members of the student council came and Milly brought food she prepared from the kitchen. Kallen got soaked a little bit in champagne when Shirley objected to Rivalz suggesting a toast.
Lelouch brought a change of clothes for Kallen as she is taking a shower. Lelouch had planned for a phone call to divert Kallen's attention away from him.
The next day, Suzaku Kururugi was arrested falsely for the murder of Prince Clovis since a scapegoat was needed to take the blame. Lelouch made his first appearance as Zero in public and successfully rescued Suzaku with Kallen and Ohgi's help. Though grateful, Suzaku refused to join Zero and still believed in changing things from inside the system.
Code Gundam Musou
Days went by as news of Zero's rescue of Suzaku was a popular topic in a lot of conversations. Lelouch woke up and prepared himself for another day. He heard someone knocking on the door and went to answer it.
Lelouch opened the door and found Lockon and Allelujah standing there. "So, you ready for the big day?" asked a Lockon.
"Not yet, could you please come and meet my sister and explain to her about the treatment?"
"Sure." replied Lockon as he and Allelujah was shown inside to where her little sister, Nunnally, was.
"Lelouch is there someone with you?" asked Nunnally. "I heard some different footsteps."
Lelouch held her hand and told her that Lockon and Allelujah are here to help her gain her eyesight and legs back. Nunnally was skeptical at first until she held their hands.
She found that they were honest about their intention of helping her and good people. Strangely though, she felt as though they went through a lot of struggles in life which made her curious.
Lockon showed Lelouch and Nunnally to the car they'll be driving to their base. Sayoko, the maid placed in charge of Lelouch and Nunnally's protection, came along to assist the young girl.
They arrived at their base without drawing anyone's attention. They were now in front of the doosr to the room full of medical equipment and doctors provided by Archangel and Ribbons.
One of the doctors came through the doors and approached Nunnally. "Are you Nunnally?"
"Yes." Nunnally confirmed.
"Please come with us we'll begin your treatment."
Nunnally turned her head toward her brother. "Brother, will it be okay?"
"Don't worry Nunnally, I'm sure it's safe. These people are professional after all."
"Right you are young man." said the doctor.
"Now please come so we may begin."
Nunnally nodded and Sayoko helped Nunnally into the room. Three hours passed and Lelouch couldn't help but feel anxious hoping the treatment would work.
A nurse came out of the room and walked up to him. "Lelouch can please come in here?"
Lelouch looked toward her and hoped nothing went wrong. "Is there something wrong?"
"No, not exactly. You may have to come in. The doctor is awaiting your presence." Lelouch obliged and came into the room.
"Is there something wrong?" Lelouch asked hesitantly.
"Yes, but nothing that is worse than before." the doctor replied.
"How did the treatments go?"
"We used nano technology to repair her legs successfully. After a month of rehabilitation, she will be able to walk freely again."
"That's good." Lelouch stated as he became more relaxed.
"About her eyes, we found that's some kind of mental barrier is responsible from preventing her from using her eyesight." The doctor looked up from a computer screen and at Lelouch. "Do you know of any traumatic event that might have to do with this?"
"Yes, it was the day our mother was murdered." answered Lelouch.
The doctor looked thoughtful for a minute and brought out a machines with three helmets attached with it. "We can use this machine to revisit this event in your sister's memory and help her deal with this traumatic event." the doctor suggested.
"If it might work, I'll go along with this. I just want my little sister to have her legs and eyes back." Lelouch said.
"Alright then, the two of you will need to wear the helmets and I have to monitor the machine and watch your progress. I'll get a third person to assist you." The doctor left the room for a moment.
Setsuna came in through the doors with the doctor.
"I'm here to help your little sister. He already explained to me what must be dealt with to help her." Setsuna stated.
"Alright let's get started then." The doctor said as he placed a helmet on Nunnally. Lelouch and Setsuna each placed a helmet on themselves.
Lelouch opened his eyes and saw Setsuna standing next to him.
"Where are we?" asked Setsuna as he took in his surroundings.
"We're at the Aries Villa..." Lelouch said shocked at where they are now.
Lelouch started walking toward the site of the most traumatic event in his sister's life. "This is where Nunally and I used to live before our mother died."
Gunshots ranged out throughout the hallway.
"Crap! Nunnally!" Lelouch yelled as he started to run to where his little sister would be with Setsuna following him. The two of them were now in the area with Nunnally near a woman with black hair and wore a light orange dress. This woman is Marianne vi Britannia, Lelouch and Nunnally's mother.
Lelouch went to Nunnally and hugged her. "Nunnally are you ok?" Lelouch asked softly.
"Big brother… mother is" Nunnally started sobbing.
"I know Nunnally." Lelouch started crying.
Setsuna watched the scene with a little sadness, but mostly anger at the people who would commit this kind of crime. Murder was one of the many things he hated because he was brainwashed by his former mentor, Ali Al Saachez, into killing his parents under the impression that it was for God. His eyes were opened to the ugly truth in the world ever since his time spent as a child went to hell.
Setsuna's innovator's abilities warned him a nearby threat. "Lelouch get Nunnally out of here!" Setsuna yelled.
Lelouch reacted immediately and picked up her sister as he ran for cover. He managed to move just in time to avoid gunshots.
The one who fired the gunshots was a man in black body suit and wore a mask with the symbol of Geass on it. The man aimed again at Lelouch, but Setsuna reacted quickly by dashing forward and disarmed him.
Setsuna took the gun away from the assassin and moved away from him. He shot him in the head with perfect aim, but the man appeared unfazed as continued moving forward to Lelouch and Nunnally with a knife he draw out.
"Shit! Why won't he die?" thought Setsuna. He remembered that this was Nunnally's nightmare and realized instantly that it must be up to her to face this adversary. He ran over to Lelouch and Nunnally.
"Lelouch I know what must be done. Nunnally has to face her fears in order to break her away from this nightmare." Setsuna said to Lelouch.
"Are you sure?" Lelouch asked.
"I'm positive." Setsuna handed the gun to Nunnally and went to slow the assassin down.
"What is this? A gun?" asked Nunnally who was now scared of the thought of having a weapon that would kill anyone.
"Nunnally I know you're scared, but I need you to do this for yourself. I need you to shoot this man." said Lelouch as he tried to reassure his little sister.
"But I can't see." she said.
"Then open your eyes, Setsuna is risking his life to stop this man from killing us. He is depending on you." Lelouch stated.
Nunnally was in inner conflict with herself about this. When Lelouch told her Setsuna is doing his best to protect them, she didn't want to burden anyone else anymore. She was gained the determination to open her eyes, took aim at the assassin and shot him straight through the heart.
Setsuna saw this and smiled as he and the siblings leave the dream world behind them.
Lelouch woke up and took off the helmet and he saw Setsuna looking at him. "You alright?" Setsuna asked.
"Yeah I'm fine." Lelouch said. "Who was that guy with the Geass symbol on his mask?"
Setsuna Shrugged. "Who knows?"
"Well, I certainly don't want to have dream of getting assassinated."
"It seems everything went well." the doctor said as he got up from the screen he was looking at. "Let's go check on your sister."
Everyone in the room turned their attention toward Nunnally.
"Nunnally are you ok?" Lelouch asked softly.
Nunnally opened her eyes for the first time in seven years and saw Lelouch. "Big brother is that you?" she asked.
"Yes it's me Nunnally." Lelouch started to tear up and hugged her little sister.
Lelouch faced Setsuna and the doctor and bowed once in gratitude. "You have my thanks. You have given me back something that Britannia could never give."
"Do you want to join us in our fight against Britannia?" Setsuna asked.
"Yes, I will make sure that they don't harm any more people." Lelouch said determinedly.
Setsuna nodded and gestured for him to follow him. "Come with me, you'll need to know what we'll be dealing with."
Both them left the room as Lelouch ordered Sayoko to look after Nunnally.
Code Gundam Musou
Charles zi Britannia, the emperor, is sitting in his office thinking about an event he never thought would happen.
Nunnally defied his Geass. How did she do it? He never thought the girl would have that much will power in her due to her gentle nature.
A petite pink-haired girl walked into the room. "Is something troubling you dear?"
Charles looked at her and couldn't help but feel that it's very weird to think of her wife in a young girl's body. "Yes, Nunnally broke my Geass on her." Charles said.
The girl blinked in surprise. "Really? Who knew she had the will power to do it?" she stated.
"I hope this doesn't come back to bite me."
"Oh, are you scared?" the girl asked.
"No, I'm more worried that's something going that I don't know." Charles admitted.
"Especially the strange disturbance that V.V. and I felt at least a month ago. It felt like multiple humans with power greater than that of Geass, but I don't know."
"Do you think this disturbance will interfere with the plan?"
"I hope this isn't an ill omen." Charles frowned as thought of multiple scenarios where things can go wrong. He saw a message appeared on a computer screen and looked at it.
"What!?" Charles yelled out in disbelief.
The girl looked at him in confusion.
Code Gundam Musou
Somewhere along the coastal area of the Britannian homeland stood a Gundam in red samurai armor with various weapons. This Gundam was known as the mysterious Musha Gundam.
Musha Gundam looked at the ruined site of the destroyed Thought Elevator in the world. "The target has been annhilated. The emperor and Geass Directorate will become even more despeate to claim as many Thought Elevators as possible." Musha Gundam spoke in an electronic voice.
He looked around at the wreckage of multiple Knightmares that were unfortunate enough to stand in his way. He left no survivors in the heavily guarded area. "Humans are weak. Their only purpose is to destroy themselves to become fuel for my power."
He started walking away, knowing that his objective is completed. Before reinforcements from the Britannian military could come, he was nowhere to be found.
The same attack has been committed on the other Thought Elevator in the Britannian homeland.
