Note: Sorry for the late update, I was really lazy once again and that some school work got me busy researching and writing a paper for English in one week. I realized that I'm not paying much attention to the Gundam characters as I should be and I do hope to fix that problem from now on by focusing a little less on Lelouch or other Code Geass characters. You know? I'm not sure whether or not I'll write a little bit more with Diethard Ried included. I get his personality but I can't find him interesting enough to include other than that he's an eccentric fanboy of Zero.
Alliance Empire: At first I thought about keeping it KiraxLacus but who knows? KiraXMilly would be interesting to experiment with. I'll hold off on making this decision until I see where this can go.
By the way people, who should Lelouch and Kallen be paired up with. Each other or someone else? There are many possibilities but it's hard to decide. I might get Lelouch together with Shirley since she actually loved Lelouch just as much as Kallen did, but the problem remained was that Lelouch was never interested in Shirley romantically in the series. He did see her as a close friend; I could change that for this story.
Chapter 7 Prelude
Lelouch has woken up this morning on a clear day and prepared himself for school in his male Ashford Academy uniform. He came into the dining room where breakfast would already have been prepared by Sayoko as he saw his favorite sight, the very thing that gave him the will to live during all those years in Japan after being presumed dead.
His little sister, Nunnally vi Britannia who is currently sitting on a chair, saw him and smiled. "Good morning, Lelouch." She greeted.
Lelouch went up to her and hugged her lightly. "Good morning Nunnally. Did you have a good night sleep?"
Nunnally nodded. "Of course I did brother. Today, Sayoko is going take me around Ashford so I can get a feeling of the building on my own two feet and not get lost."
Lelouch smiled at that last part. After so many years of seeing her innocent sister being paralyzed, Lelouch was getting closer to giving up hope on the idea that she would ever regain her ability to walk. It was not until his allies, who came from other worlds in the form of the United Worlds Federation as this world knows them, gave her sister the ability to walk again. Not only that, they even helped Nunnally regain her eyesight which was not lost at all this entire time.
'It's thanks to them… that Nunnally is able to live a full life now.'Lelouch thought gratefully. 'Alongside them, I will defeat Britannia and create a peaceful world for Nunnally to live in without fear.'
Lelouch narrowed his eyes as he remembered the one man who abandoned both of them all those years ago. He is determined to make that man answer for his crimes one way or another.
"Lelouch?" That brought Lelouch out of his thought.
"Yes Nunnally?" Lelouch responded.
"Please be safe." Nunnally said worriedly.
Lelouch blinked in surprise, but he smiled warmly as he held her hands. "Don't worry; your big brother won't be leaving you anytime soon. I promised you that didn't I?"
Flashback Start:
A few weeks ago after the day Nunnally received the treatments enabling her to see and walk again, Lelouch is sitting beside her sister back at the penthouse by Ashford Academy.
"Nunnally, I have to tell you something." Lelouch stated.
Nunnally looked up to him curiously. "What is it Lelouch?"
"Do you have an idea who those people that helped you are?"
Nunnally shook her head. "I know they're nice and that they helped me see again. Soon I'll be able to walk again." She said brightly.
"They can do more than that actually." His little sister tilted her head curiously as Lelouch took a deep breath. "Nunnally… their reason for being here is to fight Britannia… and I'm going to help them do it."
Nunnally was shocked by this declaration. "L-lelouch, tell me you're kidding? This is a joke right?" She asked nervously.
"No Nunnally, I'm serious." He stated with a straight face.
Nunnally began to tear up. "Please don't do this Lelouch. I don't want to lose you like mom!" She pleaded as Lelouch could see the fear in her eyes.
Lelouch looked at her softly. "Nunnally do you know why I'm doing this?" He asked gently.
His sister shook her head slowly.
"It's because I love you, you're my little sister and I want you to live in a peaceful world free from corruption and dangers like those of Britannia." He told her warmly with a caring face. "Can you understand that?"
Nunnally slowly nodded. "If y-you're going to fight then can you promise me one thing?"
Lelouch blinked a little in surprise. "What is it?" He questioned.
"Don't die."
Lelouch chuckled lightly. "Don't worry Nunnally, you're big brother isn't leaving you any time soon. I promise you that." He declared as rubbed the top of her head and smiled at her. "Now let's make some paper cranes to pass the time."
"Brother, I know you've been gambling." Nunnally stated with her arms folded as she changed the topic of their conversation.
"Errgh-" Lelouch stuttered nervously. "Well that's a funny story, you see-"
Flashback End
Lelouch left the penthouse in direction toward the main building of the Ashford Academy. He entered the building from front entrance of the school building and heard small discussions about hostage incident that took place a little while ago. There were many different opinions, but some of them pleased Lelouch.
As he walked toward his first class of the day, the exiled prince would pick up tidbits of talks about the hotel jacking incident here and there.
"Did you see watch the news about the hostage incident?" One student questioned.
"Yeah, I saw it. What of it?" Another continued.
"Did you see how Zero rescued the hostages?"
"Eh, it's probably just a hoax to fool us."
"I don't think the Federation is not so bad after all."
"What happened to the terrorists responsible for the hostage situation?"
"Probably dead and good riddance too, maybe those Federation people can be useful after all."
"I wonder what the United Worlds Federation will do next."
Lelouch heard more talks about hostage takeover, but dismissed them. Most people are still wary of the Federation, but few are beginning to open up and grudgingly accept them. There is still a long way before the social influence of the Britannian Empire could finally be removed and let peace come all over the world.
Code Gundam Musou
The emperor of Britannia is in a VERY BAD mood right. He is currently fuming on his throne thinking about all the troubles that have been happening lately. First, is the United Worlds Federation having a powerful military presence in Area 11 that can already defeat the Britannian army already there quite easily if they wanted to. Next, is the destruction of the two Thought Elevators in the Britannian homeland which set back the plan that he and his brother have bringing to fruition for years. Lastly, Bismarck Waldstein, the Knight of One, is now proclaimed dead as reported from an important military base that was attacked by a machine that fiercely resembled those of the Federation.
This was the second time that an attack on the Britannian homeland has ever happened albeit it wasn't a full-scale invasion. Still, the fact remains that an attack from a foreign enemy still occurred on the Britannian homeland and it was a single enemy unit that killed Bismarck and crippled the base. Charles now begin to doubt that sending the other Knights of the Round will do anything against the United Worlds Federation army if a single unit could successfully attack a Britannian military base and kill Bismarck all in such a short time without leaving a trace.
Although the Emperor is currently furious, there is another emotion that he hasn't felt for such a long time. It was fear. When one becomes more powerful and suffers fewer defeats as time goes on, fear is usually forgotten along the way and thus, leading to arrogance that many people exhibit today. Charles now even worries about the future of his plan that has yet to be even closely realized though he feels something ominous will happen soon that will make the Ragnarok Connection worthless.
He didn't know why but he felt that something tremendous will happen, something that the world will never forget for as long as it exists.
'I must consult with V.V. on this.' The Emperor of Britannia thought before moving off his throne and toward his private quarters.
Code Gundam Musou
V.V. is currently walking through a hallway in an underground research facility of the Geass Directorate Headquarter. He stopped in front of man who staring at the wall for unknown reasons.
"You over there! Why are you standing around? Don't you have something to do?" V.V. demanded with authority.
This seemed to snap the man out of his dazed expression. "Huh… oh forgive me sir! I was distracted by something." The man said in a salute.
"Distracted by what?" V.V. questioned.
"By uuhhh… I… I don't remember anymore." The soldier mumbled out.
"Useless lot you are, how you are working in the first place? I'll never know." V.V. stated as he passed the seemingly confused man.
What he didn't notice were the silver hexagonal patterns that have been forming on the man's back for some time now just below his neck. The man's eyes glow a light red hue before he smirked darkly.
"Now I just need to place this beacon soon and…" The man said.
Code Gundam Musou
A small number of freighters have finally arrived in the harbors of Chinese Federation territory a few days after the hotel jacking incident at Lake Kawaguchi. From the perspective of people from outside, they would look like the usual freighters that are always seen at docks. However, what they hold inside are not the usual goods that are transported for economic trade purposes. Inside these freighters are mobile suits of the United Worlds Federation. One of which has a distinct Chinese Dragon motif, its armor is mostly white and green with a red chest plate. It has two white wings on the back along with a green scorpion tail and a shield mounted on its left shoulder.
This is the Altron Gundam, one of the most formidable Gundam in melee combat when in the hand of its pilot, Chang Wufei. Altron is a Gundam with melee as its prefer style of combat by utilizing martial arts into its design along with additional weapons for melee combat such as the Dragon Fangs and its twin beam trident. The unit is not however without its own range weapon to fight back in mid-range combat; its scorpion tail is a beam cannon and the Vulcan gun is for small targets.
Its pilot, Chang Wufei is currently on deck watching the freighters arrive at the docks. He and the other pilots managed to convince the one person in the Chinese Federation military that could help them overthrow the High Eunuchs to a meeting. This person is none other than Li Xingke, a man part of a faction fiercely loyal to Empress Tianzi who wants to reestablish the Empress as the true figure of authority.
Wufei read his background and found his loyalty to Empress Tianzi admirable. He wished that the government officials of the Chinese Federation were not as corrupt as those of Britannian nobles. The Gundam pilots are aware of the danger the High Eunuchs pose to the people of the Chinese Federation, that's why there is a group sent here; to eradicate corruption in the government.
"Something troubling you?" A familiar voice sounded.
This snapped Wufei out of his thoughts and looked to the side to see that it's Treize standing beside him. "Yeah… it's the corrupted High Eunuchs being in power that sickedned me!" He voiced his disdain out.
Treize nodded in agreement. "I can see why you're angry. This is no different from the Romefeller Foundation's manipulation of the United Earth Sphere Alliance for their purposes." He added. "The corruption in this world runs deep within the governments of the major powers. If I had to state my opinion of the government officials I would consider them selfish. They have the powers to make things better but they cannot move and learn from their mistakes."
"I will bring justice upon this world and wipe out all evil!" Wufei declared determinedly as Treize nodded in approval. The two of them share quite an interesting relationship as friends and rivals that respected each other's beliefs and strength.
"Well, I believe we're supposed to meet our guest soon to discuss our proposition." Treize stated as he looked at the sea.
"I know, if we can remove the High Enuchs from power we can save the Chinese Federation from itself and gain their support if everything works out."
"Indeed, if we were to force ourselves upon this world, then there would be problems and complaints from civilians of the enemies' countries we would defeat. Still there is one more matter to attend to."
Wufei stared at him curiously. "And what would that be?" He inquired.
"It's about a recent attack on a Britannian military base." Treize replied.
"What is the significance of this?"
"The base was in the Britannian homeland and attacked successfully by a single unit." Treize stated seriously.
This piece of news surely surprised him. "That is interesting, but who did it?" He asked. "As far as I'm aware, nobody said they went to attack a military installation in the homeland of our enemy." The teenager stated matter-of-factly.
"That's the problem. The attack is very recent and we could only get a hint was that the attacker used a mobile suit like us. Also, the Knight of One, Bismarck Waldstein, may have been at the base." The pilot of the Tallgeese II said.
"Brittannia's strongest pilot and knight?"
"The very one." Treize confirmed.
"I see… the emperor will want to keep this a secret as long as possible to make up a believable lie for his disappearance so that Britannia doesn't appear weak." Wufei stated.
"The wisest decision since the con outweighs any pros from announcing his death. Revealing the truth would easily be interpreted as Brittania's military is weakening since our arrival in this world. The other major powers would probably get the idea that the Knights of Round are no threat if their strongest knight was defeated singlehandedly and would go on the offensive once the chance arises." Treiz mused
The pilot of Altron Gundam sighed heavily and rubbed his forehead. "There are probably many other worlds with selfish people currently running the governments as of right now. I shouldn't be surprised anymore ever the incident of being dragged in that experimental world the Knight Gundam brought us to."
"Do no fret; all those worlds will go through a change for the better as ours have. It's only a matter of time." Treize reassured his friend.
"Right, let's go meet our potential ally, shall we?"
With their conversation ended, the two experienced pilots left the freighters as their mobile suits were being moved to be hidden in nearby warhouses. They have an important meeting that could help them give an official home advantage if everything goes well.
Code Gundam Musou
Sitting in her room is a pink-haired princess of Britannia contemplating the last meeting she had with Heero and Zero afterwards during the evacuation of the hostages at Lake Kawaguchi Convention Center Hotel. Outside the room door is a pair of guards that Viceroy Cornelia entrusted the safety of her dear sister to, they were specifically ordered to never let Princess Euphemia leave the building without permission. It was not that long after the incident.
'Heero is working with Zero… and why do I feel something off about him?' Euphie pondered. She couldn't but help feel that she should have already know something about Zero.
She is thinking back to what Zero said directly to her as she fiddles a small device that she kept hidden.
Flashback Start:
"Zero." Princess Euphemia simply said as Heero stood behind her.
"Ah, well if it isn't Princess Euphemia in the flesh? It is a pleasure to meet you, your highness." Lelouch greeted politely in Zero voice. "As you're likely aware, I am Zero." He bowed a little before his unknowing sister.
"Of course I would know you, you killed Clovis after all." The princess replied back sternly, not intimidated in the slightest.
"Of course I killed him; he unjustly ordered the murders of several Japanese citizens back at Shinjuku after all. I simply delivered justice where it was needed." Zero stated coolly before flipping a handgun aimed directly in her face. "That reminds me… you're one of his siblings are you not?" He questioned as Heero simply watched the scene unfold from the back.
Euphie's expression turned into an expression of slight disbelief, not flinching at the sight of a gun pointed at her. "Clovis would never do something like that?!" Euphie argued.
"Is that so? Do you mean the Clovis you knew or the person he truly is inside?" Zero questioned.
This caught the young princess off guard. "W-what are you saying?"
Zero holstered his pistol and chuckled. "Still the same old girl as you was before. You were always one to think and look for the positives in people, never the bad things though you don't ignore them. Do you want to know what Clovis has been secretly taking part in during his time in Area 11?"
Euphie did not say anything but looked surprised and curious.
Zero placed a small device with a screen and switch into the palm of her hand. "If you wish to know more then you will press on the switch a few days later and directions will be seen on the screen. It will not work before at least three days have passed." Zero stated as he started walking away. He then turned around and looked at Heero. "Oh, and Heero please do make sure the princess get escorted to safety onto one of the life boats. It's best to make sure that nobody spots her just yet."
Heero nodded in response. "Roger." He simply said. He gestured for Euphemia to follow him as he led the way to where the life boats are prepared.
Flashback End
Princess Euphemia finally came to a decision and moved the switch as the small screen came to life. The screen began loading before words finally formed into a single sentence.
Come to Ashford Academy alone.
'Ashford Academy? I heard about that school, but why would Zero want to meet me there?' Euphie wondered.
Code Gundam Musou
Euphie managed to sneak away from the residential home for the Viceroy in a disguise though she didn't notice the two people tailing her, ready to forcibly return her to Princess Cornelia at a moment's notice if needed.
The princess rode a bus to somewhere near the Ashford Academy and walked the rest of the way there. As soon as she walked through the front gate, her two followers proceeded to tell her to go back to her home as they think this is far enough. Unfortunately for said followers, a certain brown-haired boy with a long braid in a priest outfit knocked them out before they could so and dragged their unconscious bodies to somewhere while laughing evilly.
Euphie soon saw Heero in front of the school building leaning on the front side of the building. "Huh, so you decided to come here?" He said as a statement rather than as a question. "Follow me, Zero will wish to discuss things with you at the penthouse."
Euphie nodded and gestured for him to show the way.
"It's been a while since we saw each other under… calmer circumstance. How are you Heero?" She asked.
"Fine." He responded simply.
This response worried Euphie because she has no idea why Heero is always like this. Now that it's just them alone for only a little bit, she noticed that Heero has not once shown any emotion even for a brief moment if any. She thought that Heero would be a little bit more open with her after being around each other for a while. She was about to ask something before Heero spoke again.
"We're here." Heero stated as he opened the door of the penthouse for her to enter. Euphemia nodded gratefully and went inside. Heero followed after and closed the door behind them. As he did so, his communicator beeped.
"What is it?" He demanded.
"Hey Heero, I found a two guys following our guest here. What should we do with them?" The voice of Duo can be heard.
"Do not kill them as it would get suspicious to whoever sent them. For now, try to make them forget ever coming here. Do this however you wish."
"Sweet! Now where are those permanent markers?" Duo questioned.
Heero sighed and hanged up on his communicator. He saw Euphie a few feet ahead of him unsure of where to go. "This way." He said as he led the way to a dining room with a couple people sitting on either side of Zero who was at the center f the far end. These people are Ribbons Almark, Full Frontal, Lockon Stratos, Setsuna F. Seiei, Banagher Links, Athrun Zala, and Quatre Rabera Winner.
"Princess Euphemia I'm glad you decided to come and don't worry we have people making sure unintentional visitors stay away from this meeting." Zero said.
"Yes, I've come for some answers in regard to what you said my brother, Clovis, was up to."
"I knew you would be too curious to refuse. In that case, I'll tell you what he has been up to." Zero said the last part darkly. "Clovis has been heading an illegal experiment about learning the secrets of immortality."
Euphie was shocked. "W-what are you saying? Immortality is not possible! No one can live forever!" She retorted.
Everyone in the room besides Euphie looked grim for a moment before Zero continued. "It's true Euphemia, Clovis was supporting secret research and approved torturing an innocent immortal woman who did not deserve such treatments. She is currently in our custody under our protection."
"Don't joke around; I don't see proof that supports this." She argued back.
Zero looked at her silently for a minute before speaking softly. "Euphie, would I really lie to you?"
This surprised the coalition members because of the tone in his voice that he used as the princess in the room is confused by what he just said.
"Why are you asking me that? Have we really met each other before?" Euphie questioned while her heart is telling to let her guard down for some reason.
"It's been a long time actually, about seven years since we last met." Zero stated as he activated the release mechanism on his helmet and removed it from his head. "Hello, Euphie it's a good to see you again." Lelouch said kindly and honestly.
To Euphemia she saw a familiar shape of a head, raven hair, and violet eyes. All of these traits belonged to only one person she ever met that had them; her brother, Lelouch vi Britannia.
"Lelouch… is that really you?" The princess asked as her eyes begun to tear up with shock present on her face.
"Yes, it's me and there's someone who wants to see you too. Come on in." He said as his little sister walked with Sayoko close behind to make she's walking okay.
The pink-haired princess' eyes widened upon seeing another familiar face. "Nunnally!" She screamed while running toward to the petite girl to hug her.
"Hi Eup- oof!" Nunnally said as Euphemia ran to her and pulled her into bear hug, refusing to let go for a minute at the fear of losing a close sibling again.
"Uh Euhpie, I think you should lighten up on the death hug there because Nunnally needs to breathe." Lelouch said in amusement.
Euphie blinked before looking down to see Nunnally doing her best to take in oxygen into her lungs. "Oops sorry, hehehe. My bad, it's just that when I heard both of you died, I was really sad that I've lost two siblings that I'm as close as to my sister." Euphie said sadly as she wiped the tears from her eyes as she smiled happily again.
"Don't worry, Lelouch managed to find a friend whose family was willing to take us in." Nunnally replied.
Lelouch had mixed feelings on that matter though. He's grateful for having a friends like Milly and what she and her family has done for them. On the other hand, they helped them in case that returning them to the Royal Family for obtaining the title of Nobles again as an option except for Milly who doesn't care for such things.
Lelouch could deal with that later if they ever had to cross that bridge.
"Don't worry Euphie, Nunnally and I managed to do fine all these years in hiding." Lelouch assured her.
"If you both of you were alive this whole time, why didn't you retrun?" Euphie questioned with a confused expression.
Lelouch's eyes narrowed at this. "It's because… I can't trust the royal family or even him." Lelouch replied venomusly.
Euhpie was surprised by the hatred in his tone. "Lelouch, surely you know that there are those who you can trust?"
"Maybe I can trust Odysseus, but he's not exactly sharp for his age. I don't know about Cornelia, she is a soldier after all. And I don't know about Schneizel, he has his own plans. He doesn't care about the throne anyway." Lelouch stated before looking at his second favorite sister. "Look, I just don't trust that man because he abandoned Nunnally and I for his insane plan, believing his actions won't matter once it succeeds."
Euphemia blinked. "What plan?"
"The Ragnarok Connection, Princess Euphemia." Ribbons spoke up this time.
Lelouch turned to his maid. "Sayoko, can you please bring Nunnally out of here? There's something that we need to discuss privately."
Sayoko bowed as Nunnally frowned. "Lelouch, don't treat me like a kid. I want to know what going on too, you know?" The petite girl protested.
Lelouch sighed at his sister's stubbornness. "Alright, if you want to know, I'll tell you more later. Is that alright?"
Nunnally nodded and left with Sayoko out of the room as Lelouch turned back to face the group. Lockon had an amused expression on his face.
"What?" He asked.
"You can't say no to your little sister can you?" Lockon inquired.
Lelouch was embarrassed that someone found a little detail like that funny. "Yes, I can't say no to my little sister and you found that amusing. Let's go back to the topic here."
"Changing the topic here? Alright then whatever." Lockon said as he leaned back on his chair in a relaxed expression.
"What is this Ragnarok Connection?" Euphie questioned.
"I'll say this as simple as possible. It's supposed to unite the souls of the living and the dead into a single entity for the purpose of no more lies." Ribbons replied.
"What?!" Euphie shouted in disbelief.
"It's what our father has been planning all these years Euphie. That's why he was willing to use Britannia's military to invade other countries and take countless lives in the process, all to get the pieces he needed. This is why these people are actually here for. They will stop Britannia's unjustified actions and Ragnarok Connection from ever being realized." Lelouch said.
The pink-haired princess was speechless as she had just learned the most shocking thing so soon after learning both Lelouch and Nunnnally were alive all these years. "I… I think I need time to process this."
"Euphie, Lelouch says you don't discriminate against Elevens. Why is that?" Full Frontal asked.
"It's because they're humans that they don't deserved to be treated like trash." Euphie replied.
This got looks of approval from the coalition members in the room.
'Even if there are despicable humans, there are still those who have a good heart.' Ribbons thought to himself.
"How do you think you can help these people gain back their freedom?" Ribbons questioned.
"I would establish an administrative zone for giving the Japanese their rights back under Britannia's laws." She answered without missing a beat.
"Good idea, but very flawed actually. Can you think why?" Lockon inquired.
"What do you mean?" Euphie asked warily.
"Look, it's not like we're saying it's a bad plan, but think about how the Britannians were raised and what they think. They've been conquering other nations for some times now, giving them the idea that they're superior to everyone else in every way. Opening an administrative zone would raise some protests as some Britannians have too much pride to lower themselves to those who they see as worthless." Banagher answered.
"Oh." Euphie looked down disappointedly as even she recognizes the truth in his words.
"There is still hope for peace. If the United Worlds Federation can defeat Britannia and force them into a treaty, we can bring freedom back to all the people labeled as Numbers. Plus, as of right now, we're planning a coup d'e tat in the Chinese Federation government to make everything right." Setsuna said.
"You see Euphie, if we can shatter this image of an invincible Britannia completely, we can force them into wanting peace. We can stop this endless discrimination that Britannia has created years ago." Lelouch said. "So will you help us? We will need someone to help gather information on whatever Britannia may be planning."
Euphie looked thoughtful for a second before coming to a decision. "Fine, I will help you. I don't like the path of bloodshed, but I realized that stopping our father's insane plan is important." Euphie responded.
The coalition members smiled that they now have a member of the Britannian Royal Family on their side now.
"If that so, then take this." Ribbons said as he handed a small flash drive to her. "This will have all the information on what your father has been secretly involved in and everything regarding the Ragnarok Connection that we know."
Euphie nodded thankfully.
"Good, Euphie you should head back now, it's getting late. Oh, and don't forget to visit us sometimes. Nunnally would love to hang with her favorite sister again." Lelouch said.
"I would love to Lelouch and good bye." She said with a smile on her as she left the room. She saw Heero standing outside the door waiting for her. She remembered what he said to her back at Lake Kawaguchi Hotel a few days prior.
"Heero?"
"Yes?" He asked.
"You remember what you told me a few days ago?"
Heero thought back to his most recent interaction with her at Lake Kawaguchi Hotel. "You want to have a talk with me, is that it?"
Euphie nodded. "Yes, can we do this while walking a little outside?" She asked.
"I don't see why not." Heero followed her outside the door and walked alongside her.
"Heero, I'd like to know. Why do you fight?" Euphie began their conversation.
"I fight because it's what I've been trained to for all my life." He replied coolly.
Euphie was taken aback athis answer. "All your life… you couldn't mean?"
"Yes, I've been trained to fight since I was little by my father. He taught me everything to know about being an effective soldier."
Euphie was horrified learning that someone would teach their child how to kill at such a young age. "That's awful… surely your life doesn't always revolve around fighting does it?" She questioned sadly.
"I fought because it's needed to be done, in order to aid bringing peace and equality. I learned to keep my emotions in check from interfering with my missions as they would only hinder me." The pilot of Wing Zero stated.
"Is there ever a time you didn't felt like fighting?"
That stopped Heero cold in his tracks, but Euphie noticed it as well.
"Heero?" She called out to him in worry, but he didn't respond. He just stood there deep in thought. "Heero?" She tried again.
Heero snapped out of his trance and remembered what he was doing just now. "Is something wrong?" He asked slightly confused.
"I should be the one asking that. You looked like you were remembering something important." She looked in the eye that was basically saying to tell right now with no questions asked.
"It was about a mission I completed long ago." He answered.
"What was so significant about this mission that you would remember it?" She inquired.
"The mission itself… wasn't what made the memory important. It was about before and after the mission that I remembered it."
"What happened?"
"I met a little girl and her pet dog. They looked so happy at the time that I couldn't help but feel relaxed for the first time. This was before completing the mission…"
"And after?" Euphemia was dreading that something tragic might have happened.
Heero sighed. "When I detonated the charges at a military base I was sent to destroy, one of the mobile suits at the base started a chain reaction of explosions that wrecked the city."
"Oh no." Euphemia placed both hands in front of her mouth.
"When I was walking amongst the rubble I found something. It was the dog of the girl I had met before. It was dead so I carried it off to somewhere and gave it a proper burial." Heero finished.
"Heero… you feel guilty for what happened don't you? I can see it your eyes." Euphemia stated.
Heero stood silent as his face still showed no emotions.
"You've kept to yourself this entire time haven't you? Heero, I want you to know that you aren't alone. If you ever need someone to talk to you can always talk to me. You don't have to carry such a burden alone." Euphie smiled earnestly.
"I'll keep that in mind… thanks." Heero said gratefully.
"I'm glad to hear that. At least you know you're not alone. I will be always your friend as you are always my friend."
"Princess Euph-" Heero was going to say until Euphie cut him off.
"No Princess Euphemia please, just call me Euphie." She stated.
"Alright Euphie, the result of the mission is why I was even more determined to rein in my emotions so a mistake like that would never happens again." Heero stated.
"There's no need to close off your emotions like that. There's nothing wrong with showing them." Euphie told him.
"You know what my father always taught me that I took to heart?"
"What would that be?" Euphie questioned curiously.
"It's that the best way to live is by one's emotions." Heero answered.
Euphie blinked in surprise. She had not expected that kind of answer, she actually thought his father was very cold cold if he taught Heero how to fight at such a young age. But to think the man taught Heero something as humane as that?
"Something wrong?" Heero asked as he saw Euphie had a dumbfounded expression on her face.
"Huh? Oh not really, you see I thought your dad would be well… cold." Euphie admitted truthfully.
"He is cold when he needed to be, but there are times when he seems like your average dad. It's how people never mistake him for a capable killer anyway." Heero responded casually.
Euphie chuckled nervously thinking how his mom could have put up with such a man in the first place.
"Well anyway, Heero can we meet again and… hang out?" Euphemia asked shyly, her cheeks turning a slight pink.
"I don't see a reason why but I suppose I can meet with you when I have time." Heero replied, not getting why Euphie is actually asking him this.
Euphie perked up that. "Great! How can I contact you though?"
"Just call the penthouse here at the academy. There should be someone there that can relay your message to me." Heero said.
"Ok, I'll see you later. Goodbye." Euphie said as she started walking away from the Ashford Academy, thinking about what to do with Heero when they… hang out.
Heero was about to walk away until a thought ran across his mind. 'That's odd, I've never been one to tell at least this much about my past to someone before. Should I be concerned about it?' The Gundam pilot thought to himself.
"Heero!" Duo's voice rang out.
"Hmm?" Heero tuned around to see Duo running to him.
"Heero come you gotta go back inside and see this!" Duo exclaimed.
"What's wrong?"
"You'll see, just come one!" Duo urged.
Code Gundam Musou
Every television worldwide switched to a view of a man in a business suit and has red hair. Those from the Anno Domini timeline recognized the man; they were instantly on edge due to his history and their past interactions with him.
"Well hello there people of Britannia! My name is Gary Biaggi and I'm the representative of the Middle Eastern Federation. I am here to convey one message to Britannia." Ali al-Saachez paused dramatically. "You think we lost the war, but it is only just the beginning. You see, God will punish the invaders who tarnished these lands. That judgment will begin now!"
The screen switched to a view of a ship with certain equipment that the pilots from the Cosmic Era recognized in horrors. The ship is situated on land a far enough distance from a Britannian city and military base in the Middle East that can be seen. For those who don't know what the equipment is capable could only look in curiosity and worries.
"Britannians repent for your sins!" The mercenary declared.
The electricity surged through the panels on the ship before shooting as waves of pink electrical charges at the unsuspecting city and base. Then every electronics in the area exploded in combustion. Every single transport, Knightmares, and other electrical machines exploded due to the fact they run on sakuradite.
Everyone could only watch in horror and shock as they can see the city exploding in frenzy, leaving no inches of it untouched. Ali al-Saachez laughed on in glee, thinking about the expressions on the viewers' faces. He had only one thought.
'Did the Sakura Stampeder catch your attention? If so then I'm right here you Krugis punk!'
Up in the space of world of Geass a grey Gundam with many protrusions on its back all in an orderly fashion approaches Earth at high speed.
'Let's see whether you can beat me again and save humanity Kira Yamato!' The pilot thought.
Omake
Identity Crisis
Part One
A man is riding his red motorcycle that looked quite futuristic. He wore a blue jacket with a black shirt inside that shows a red marking all over. He has spiky hair that resembled a crab a little with gold highlights, tan skin, and blue eyes. This man is Yusei Fudo, famous duelist of the Satellites, rival of Jack Atlas, and leader of Team 5DS.
He stopped in front of a redhead woman without bothering to look and grabbed her onto his motorcycle.
"Akiza quick, we have to help Jack and Crow out with dealing some underground duelists!" He yelled quickly before accelerating his motorcycle.
The woman stared at him in confusion.
"Who? What? Why?" Kallen asked before Yusei gunned it on his motocycle.
After taking care of the underground duelists
Yusei dropped off Kallen at her house who looked very irritated by him.
Yusei rubbed the back of his head nervously. "U-uh sorry about that, you liked a lot like someone I knew hehe." He said sheepishly.
Kallen glared at him and clenched her fist.
Yusei saw the warning sigh quick enough and drove away, not wanting to incur her wrath after seeing her martial arts skills that she employed on the underground duelists without mercy.
Let this be a lesson to duelists: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorn, especially if you're just using regular cards against a girl who can kick your ass.
Part Two
Lelouch and his friends in the Black Knights are all tied up in plant vines stuck to the wall.
Now why you ask?
It's because of all a little misunderstanding with a certain redhead in the room. She wore a crimson Victorian style of clothing from an old age and is currently holding a Duel Disk activated on her left arm with one card on display.
"Look, I'm sorry that I mistake you for someone else." Lelouch said while struggling with no luck. "Can you please let us go?"
Akiza put a finger to her chin and put up a thoughtful face. "Hmmm, how about no?" She replied nonchalantly.
"I said I'm sorry! What will it take for you to let us go?"
"Ohh, I don't know what could you possibly do for me? You guys did drag me into a very dangerous situation after all. You know, fighting the military and all that…" Akiza said slowly. "Oh I know!" She stated with an evil grin.
Lelouch and his friends gulped at seeing the redhead's expression and hoped it's not something horrifying.
After a horrifying experience for the Black Knights
Akiza is standing outside a building waiting for her friend after dealing punishments to some idiots wo mistaken her for someone else. A certain red motorcycle came by and stopped.
"You called for a ride Akiza?" Yusei asked.
Akiza nodded as she got onto her friend's duel runner.
Yusei looked around at his surroundings. "What were you doing out here?"
"Oh well, I was hanging out with some new friends today Yusei." Akiza replied.
"Well that's great for you Akiza." Yusei stated as he drove his duel runner away, not knowing what really happened.
Somewhere nearby, Lelouch is sitting in a corner traumatized to the point where he now vows to make sure everyone is who he thinks they are.
Look forward to part two in the next chapter for another set of characters that should be obvious.
By the way I have some future fanfic ideas that I will try eventually at a later date.
Bleach and High School DxD: Shinigami Counterattack
This is basically about Ichigo getting thrown into the DxD universe during or after his fight with Ywach or Juha Bach to fight against another Vandenreich that existed in this different universe. This Vandenreich in the DxD universe made their return after their defeat long ago and made big debut to the world and Three Factions as they have succeeded in their invasions of crippling the military strength of the Angels, Demons, Fallen Angels, and other mythical groups. It is up to Ichigo to rally everyone to defeat an alternative Juha Bach who has plans just as sinister as his original Bleach counterpart.
Kamen Rider Blade and ?
I don't know what crossover will happens but this story will involve the travel of the immortal Joker, Kenzaki Kazuma who travelled to another world after the Rider War with Decade to settle in a new life and to try to stay away from his counterpart and friend Hajime Aikawa to make sure the Battle Royale never start again or end in disaster. This Kenzaki will retain all of his powers as Kamen Rider Blade and Joker, he will be a little bit darker like during his appearance in the Decade series, but retains his kind and caring heart.
