A/N: Slowly, but surely we are reaching that bitter end. Again, my apologizes.

"The test was a success!" A proud Japanese soldier shouted within the cockpit of a rather giant gun.

"The Raikō's shrapnel cannon tore through that convoy in an instant! No Sutherland left in sight!" Another added.

The Raikō was a massive coil gun created by the Japan Liberation Front, and was more of a successful experiment. Made from the bodies of four Burai knightmares which acted as the legs to the giant linear canon, the Raikō was a high velocity weapons which, as proven mere seconds prior, shot knightmare tearing steel balls at speed faster than sound. Additionally four Burai were modified with quad-linked arm guns, and they were all attached to a spinning circular disk atop the main canon that allowed easy 360 movement.

All these parts together made for a deadly weapon which if used properly could pose a serious threat to the Britannian military. Even with its countless features, it was still vulnerable to quick enemies, so surrounding it was basically a small army.

They were all situated on a grand highway which stood adjacent to another, and on the adjacent highway, a ways down, burned the remains of what they determined to be a military convoy sent to investigate the smoke rising from the high end residential district.

"With this gun, we'll tear down the Palace doors easily!"

Inside the Viceroy Palace, the highest ranking official left in the entirety of Area 11, Colonel General Samuel J. Colivett, sat upon the Viceroy throne (unwarranted mind you) within the grand control room. Dozens of men and woman were frantically updating him on the battle.

"General, the last civilian transport heading to the northern evacuation center was just destroyed!"

Colivett nearly stood, "What?! Didn't it pass the line a few minutes ago?" He asked.

"Yes sir, it was a few yards north when the knightmares' IFF signals disappeared."

The grizzled general slammed his fist on the throne's armrests, "Dammit! We are already fighting against the odds, and we loose six more. I knew evacuating those civilians was a mistake." The general states angrily.

"With all due respect, sir, shouldn't civilians be the top priority in such a situation." A soldier stepped up to the throne and faced the man with a look of disapproval.

"What good is saving civilians if the capital falls? Casualties are common in war. Be glad I decided to save those I did." Colivett grumbled in response.

"It's not like you saved many. Those who were already in the evacuation center were safe for the time being, so we should have focused on searching the residential areas nearest to the bay. There's no telling how many civilians could be stuck there.

"Watch what you say Colonel MacCarter. Don't think for a second that I'll hesitate to remove you for insubordination just because you're my nephew. Relation has nothing to do in the military. As for those civilians stuck in the south...I'm sure the nation will have a day of mourning, the Emperor will give a speech, and then everyone moves on. The usual." Colivett said indifferently since he cared more about keeping his current position rather than saving commoners.

"And the north? If they were killed then that means the enemy passed our defense line." The Colonel stated.

"Send a small group to investigate. If the threat is great, we'll sent a battalion." Colivett complied.

Lelouch reached the plume of smoke, and landed on the highway a few feet away from the wreckage. He made out parts of Sutherlands, and random scraps of medal which burned slightly due to gasoline. Not all the knightmares exploded, since some where still more or less intact, but were disabled due to extensive damage. He stalked forward, and tried to distinguish the scraps layered across the road.

He did not pay attention where he stepped on since he was focused on the fiery scene before him. He stopped when his eyes settled upon the corpses. Most were indistinguishable since they were charred beyond comprehension, but there were a few who seemed more human like. Given those bodies were ripped apart, and mutilated severely, with missing limbs and holes gaping throughout their body.

The frame of a long vehicle burned ahead, and he could see outlines of people inside. Seems most of the people were not propelled outside the bus. A bus heading north via the main highway...To think this would be the resting place of the Cardemonde family.

Lelouch felt numb as he thought of his blue haired friend. His fists slowly closed, but his grip continued tightening, and he shook slightly. He did not notice how scraps of metal vibrated around him as he grew angrier.

Rivalz was a good friend, almost Suzaku's replacement. Its a shame the kindhearted teenager will never confess to Milly, something Rivalz looked forward to for years. Lelouch did not want to deal with loose ends, and now he didn't have to. He could disappear with only Nunnally and Sayoko knowing that he is alive. Yet he could not rejoice for this turn of events was never something he wanted.

First Shirley and now Rivalz. Then he heard the sound of knightmare spinners, and machinery moving. He turned to face the adjacent highway, and saw the army he looked for. Extensive as it was, he was not going to let them live. He noticed all the knightmares, of which there were at least fifty, several in the front forming a line of four across and five down. A total of 20 were guarding the giant gun which trotted about slowly but surely. Slowly was used loosely, since the gun moved at a relatively quick pace compared to its size.

From here he could not see all the forces behind the gun, but there seemed to be an equal if not superior amount of knightmares. As they moved further down the road, he caught sight of trucks with the back covered by tarps. Troop transport trucks, and more than five. Each could fit at least 20, and at most 30 if the troops were not heavy suited.

He would focus on the knightmares first, and it just so happens, one managed to spot him through the raging fire.

It was at the front, and it stopped which caused the others to do the same. All knightmares turned to face him, and it was as if he could hear them questioning his appearance. Without another word his used his wings to give him a boost, and leapt into the sky. His cape split and came down on the four knightmares closest to him. He cut through their arms, and sliced their cockpits in half.

His cape extended longer than ever, and his tentacle like weapon snapped in almost sentient manner. His attack was received with shouts, and shocked expressions. The four pilots within the Raikō could only stare in unified bafflement.

"What the fuck!"

"Should we fire?!"

"Idiot! We'll hit our own, and we need all the Burai we can get!"

"But without the Raikō we are useless!"

"Stay calm! Activate the quad-linked guns, and give the advance team cover! Start moving the Raikō back!"

"Yes, sir!"

The chaos within the group died down, and they quickly worked to keep their most precious weapon active. As ordered, they activated the guns which replaced the dismantled right and left arms of the four Burai.

The knightmares in front of the giant gun realized how the quad-guns were to fire, and quickly parted from each other, with most heading to the other side of the highway which was to the gun's right. Additionally, knightmares from the rear guard moved forward, and lined the gun's sides protectively.

Taken back by the sudden, planned out movement, Lelouch was unsure on how to act or who to attack first. Then he heard the giant cannon being moving, and decided taking it out should be priority. The four knightmare "legs" moved backward, and began raising their altered arms.

The sudden fire was far too quick for his movements, and he was pushed back. He controlled his cape as best he could, and attempted to use it to cut down the weapons, but was rendered silent when they managed to push back his cape. The cloth withdrew, and Lelouch could see how it was being torn. Clearly whatever the bullets are they were stronger than Sutherland rifles. He attempted to extend his hand to use his knightmare control, but anytime he did, he would stumble back by the force of the constant fire. Not to mention his knightmare control depended on a light hitting the knightmares directly, and its range wasn't anything grand.

Then a bullet hit his helmet directly, and he bent backwards before flying off his feet. He was in the air for a few seconds, and landed with an audible thump. Although the supernatural helmet absorbed most of the force, he still felt some of the contact. There was a brief moment that Lelouch wondered if he got whiplash, but the lack of pain in his neck contradicted that belief. His dizziness lasted a few seconds, but he stood either way. He could still feel the push of the bullets making contact with his body. He decided to give up on the offensive front, and kept his cape wrapped around himself to lessen the force.

His helmet was hit again, but he took a quick step back to keep himself from falling. The constant fire was shredding through his cape, and he grew worried. Bullets made direct contact with his armor after cutting through his cape, and sparks flew by. Shards of the giant projectiles flayed off him, glowing bright orange before fading as they cooled.

He looked down, and through the sparks and shattered metal, he could see his armor actually taking damage. He hoped it was his eyes playing tricks on him, so he faced his enemy once again. He rather ignore the inevitable to focus on the current.

His offensive weaponry was disabled, and he attempted to bring it to life with his thoughts as usual, but what he could control would hardly do any damage.

Another hit his helmet, and his head was pushed back. He fought against it, so he did not reel as much, but could feel his feet being further implanted into the concrete road as the force pushed him further back bit by bit.

He called forth his wings, and in less than a second they wrapped over him, and again lessened the barrage's force. He stepped forward. Slowly, and one foot at a time. Right. Left. Right. Left.

Lelouch lowered his wings to get a better view, and again he was hit in the helmet. Caught off guard once again, he was lifted off the ground, but his wings kept him from falling backward, and skidding away.

This is when he noticed the line across his helmet. A crack. Nothing crazy, no spider-webs, but it was a crack nonetheless. Now Lelouch panicked, but during his silent anxiety attack, he caught sight of the crack disappearing. Literally it seemed to vanish before his eyes.

"It fixed itself..." He thought, but that did not ease his worry. This technically was his first field test after receiving the power in Shinjuku, so he did not know its entirety.

He decided he shall analyze the full range of capabilities later. He took another step forward, before extending his wings, and leaping high into the sky in an attempt to gain ground. He sailed diagonally across the sky, and as he attempted to flap his winds, he was shocked.

"I can't fly!" He realized too soon, and fell faster than he wished. His wings fell apart, and soon disappeared. He could only guess they took more damaged than he initially thought, or, a wild assumption, they are weaker due to his armor's state.

He landed roughly and rolled on the barrel, and pushed himself up clumsily. His short victory lasted no more than a few seconds before he was grabbed, and taken away from the gun.

Lelouch was then forcefully thrown to the ground which created an indention. He pushed him out, and rolled out of the way barely missing a metallic, giant foot. He looked toward the giant gun once again, and it began moving forward, and dozens of Burai knightmares formed a wall between Lelouch, and the gun. At this rate the gun would get away.

He broke into a full sprint, and jumped into the sky once again, but was hit by various rockets which pushed him back even further. He landed on a truck's hood, causing it to bend inward with his weight.

"We have to keep pushing forward!" A pilot within the Raikō expressed.

"What of the others?! They'll be wiped out!"

"Those men came here knowing they won't make it back! They will die protecting this gun!"

"Just what the hell is that thing?"

"Has to be a new Britannian weapon. Some sort of new knightmare."

"Whatever it is, it can't be that strong, you saw how our titanium bullets kept it at bay."

"If they sent it, then the Britannians know we are here."

"Have you forgotten? This gun cuts through Sutherlands."

Lelouch could see the foot soldiers hesitating, and they kept their distance even when "surrounding" him. Though neither side attacked. Lelouch wondered why they would put themselves in such a position.

At this point, they would be shooting on their own allies if they were to fire upon him. This made him realize they were not fighting for survival, but for protection. They've accepted that this is their end.

"Brave to a fault...a shame you killed my friend. I shall grant you the death you desire." Lelouch's cape was still out of commission, so he need to fight without it. He also need to clear his mind. Being angry midst battle only brings clouded judgment. The gun was moving further and further down the road.

He extended his arms forward, and opened his hand wide. A giant symbol appeared with the letters D.O.M. apparent. The beam of light made contact with the knightmares closest. He could not tell how many were affected, but he did not have the time to care. All he needed was the confirmation, and seeing how several knightmares froze and slumped as if deactivated, he bent forward and sprinted head on.

The cannon was moving further away, and without his flight he needed to get there on foot which leaves him an easy target. He could not jump that distance, and getting closer would be difficult even with the knightmares he controlled. The gun had its own knightmares standing sentinel which would keep him back.

He was about to reach the knightmares, and his thoughts brought it to life. The Burai closest to him, bend down and lowered his arm. The giant weapon held its hand open, just as Lelouch wanted.

He hopped onto the hand, and crouched, "Throw me!"

The Burai obeyed, and twisted weirdly like a pitcher before swinging its arm forward. Lelouch was thrown over the other Burai, and easily passed them. The other knightmares in his control moved to intercept anyone who tried to stop him. Luckily the shock of having several of their own turn against them, kept the JLF members from stopping him.

Meanwhile the pilots within the Raikō readied themselves for battle. Not against Lelouch, but against the approaching knightmares.

"Only three signals?" One questioned as they eyed the IFF map.

"The others could be clouding their signals."

"None of that matters! They are coming down this road. It will be too late for them to act once they notice us. Ready the shrapnel cannon!"

The three Sutherlands traveling down the road, they soon caught site of the enemies in the distance.

The leader of the three, noticed it first, "Seems we have trouble!" He shouted through the Sutherland's communications. Using the knightmare's built in camera, he zoomed in on the enemy, "What the? Disperse! Its some sort of cannon!"

"Fools! Splitting up won't save you! Super Electromagnetic Shrapnel Cannon loaded!"

A small light rapidly grew within the dark barrel, and a resonating sound was heard. The pilots within the massive coil gun smiled wide.

"Fire!"

The trigger was pushed, and the gun was seconds from launching its shrapnel cartridge. The left cockpit was then torn by bullets, and the pilots within were killed. The two "legs" on the left soon exploded, which sent the gun teetering.

"What the hell!?" The pilots on the right side shouted.

The gun fired, but due to the force not being spread out evenly, the remaining two "legs" lost their lower halves. The Raikō was pushed back, and skidded slightly.

Lelouch looked down at the destruction, and smiled. Due to the pilots being distracted by the Sutherlands, Lelouch managed to sneak up on the group. He took control of most of the Burai guarding the gun, and disabled them. One of them he had destroy the left "legs" thus setting into motion the Raiko's destruction.

Riding atop the Burai he controlled, he dealt with the Burai not in his control. They didn't realize what happened before being gunned down by his new weapon. With them taken out, he road his Burai up to the fallen Raikō, and jumped off. He calmly walked over to the right side. There he saw a bleeding JLF member who managed to drag his dead ally out of the damage cockpit.

The corpse lay flat on the damaged road, while the survivor leaned against part of the cockpit, and took deep breaths. His head bled heavily, and Lelouch could see a blood stain increasing around the man's stomach, and matting the soldier's uniform.

The Japanese man caught site of him, and didn't attempt to scurry away. He knew he was going to die either way.

Lelouch knelt to be at the soldier's eye level. All the injured man could see was his own reflection which was tinted purple due to the visor's color.

"Who ordered this attack?" Lelouch said.

The man's breathing grew rapid. He was running out of time, "You...wo-...won't win..."

"Was it the JLF? Or did China reach out to you first? What about the bombs?" Lelouch's was unnervingly calm.

The man stayed silent.

"I'm not Britannian...well I don't fight for them. In fact, I plan to go against them in the future… I just need to secure Tokyo first." Lelouch then realized his calm, soothing tone must be unnerving coming from him. His voice was modulated so it probably came off as terrifyingly monotonic.

"Then...why? Why...did you attack...us." The man said with a strained voice.

Lelouch helmet came apart, and disappeared as if never there. The injured soldier was clearly surprised, from the helmet's disappearance or Lelouch's youthfulness, was uncertain.

"That bus you destroyed...it held civilians. One of them was a good friend of mine. I'll admit, I lost my temper and acted rashly, but I'm calm now, so let us speak civilly. You want to liberate Japan correct?"

The man slowly nodded.

"If my plans go well then that is a possibility. My little sister lives in Tokyo, and Britannia's reign only puts her in more danger. This invasion is a clear example. Thus, in your last moments, you can help by telling me who ordered this attack, and where they are. The fastest way to end this invasion is to kill the leader. It'll leave the forces in disarray, which will allow the remaining Britannians to eliminate them without much trouble." Lelouch attempted to give a smile, but probably came off as sinister.

"How...can I...believe you? How can...I believe...that you'll...liberate Japan?" The man asked.

"You can't," Lelouch replied, "But what you can believe is that I love my sister. She means everything to me, and as you've seen, I am willing to go to great lengths to keep her safe. Liberating Japan is not my goal, but indirectly by liberating Japan, I give my sister a peaceful world to live in. A safe haven where people are not oppressed, where war is not an everyday thing. That is the world she wants, and the world I shall create, even if it means destroying the current world."

The dying man subconsciously shook his head, and was staring at the teenager with wide eyes, "You...are crazy...such a world cannot work...humans are greedy. This world...is evil...and nothing...can fix that..."

"The world is evil because we allowed it to be...because super powers keep it evil with their ideals. You are right fixing such a world is impossible, but I do not plan to fix it. I plan to destroy it by becoming a greater evil. An evil whose purpose is to be hated by all..." Lelouch stopped talking because he heard something. His helmet encased his head once again before an explosion overtook the area.

The Sutherlands were firing various rockets to make sure the gun is dead. Seems they already wiped out the Burai in his control. Lelouch reached out, and felt some knightmares from further down were still in his control, so he detonated them to wipe out any remaining JLF forces.

Soon after more explosions rang, and the bombardment upon the gun stopped. His cape was nearly repaired, but still showed its ware thus he will not attempt to fly yet.

The smoke cleared, and Lelouch didn't bother checking on the injured man. He doubted the man would tell him anything either way. This still left the issue on who was leading this operation. Soldiers can die left and right, and if the leader still stands then China will easily send millions. Luckily they decided to send a first wave which was probably less than 100,000 troops maybe less than 50,000.

He'll head south to disable Chinese soldiers. Enough pressure and they'll bend.

He leapt onto the fallen Raikō, and saw three Sutherlands passing by the wreckage. A rather wild idea popped into his mind, but that didn't stop him from going through. He jumped toward the nearest Sutherland, and skillfully landed on the giant cockpit which protruded outward. The D.O.M appeared over his hand again, and he gained control of the knightmare.

Lelouch made it bend over so that the cockpit was sticking directly upward, and ejected it. He held on with a steel grip, as the ejection launched the cockpit high into the sky. He rode the makeshift rocket, and he panned the Tokyo skyline. The north was more or less peaceful, but the south was riddled with blazing lights and distant explosions.

The cockpit ran out of propulsion, and began shifting as gravity played its part. As it shifted from ascension to descent, Lelouch activated his wings, and jumped off. There was a moment of panic when he did not hang in the air, but he slowly halted.

He faced the south, and cautiously shifted his body toward that direction, and slowly flew forward. He increased his speed slowly to make sure he did not fall out of the sky.

Deep in the southern districts of Tokyo, inside a park, several medical vehicles and tents baring the Chinese and Japanese flags resided. It was chaotic as more and more injured soldiers were dropped off. Surrounded with various lights to illuminate the darkened park.

Among the scrambling army was a single figure which did not belong. He was hidden well with a Chinese uniform he managed to get his hands on, but he cautiously made his way through the camp. The standard issue helmet kept his features from giving him away.

Sneaking behind a weapon transport truck turned ambulance, he quickly placed explosives underneath the truck. This would be the last one before detonation. With the C4 placed, the disguised Oz snuck his way out of the medical camp.

He avoided every soldier he came across, and escaped the park rather easily. He snuck into an alley before pulling out the detonator. He peered around the corner out of curiosity and caution to make sure he was not discovered.

With no sign of discovery he turned and ran down the alley while pressing the button.

Various soldiers caught sight of the blinking C4 before it exploded.

Oz heard the boom, and kept running. The least he could do for aiding this unexpected invasion. He traveled to China long ago before he joined Peace Mark, and he saw the horrors of corruption. The government allowed their people to starve, and live it complete poverty. Whoever the empress was, she seemed to rival the Emperor in her cruelty since she seemed to do nothing to fix her country while living in luxury.

Oz stopped to remove the soldier's armor, and started with his helmet, "Can barely breathe with this thing." He muttered.

He stopped when he felt eyes on him. He turned around, but saw nothing.

"I let my curiosity get the best of me."

Oz pulled out his gun in a blink, and aimed it at the newcomer. A woman walked out from the darkness, and the moonlight caused her vibrant hair to nearly glow.

"Who are you!?" Oz shouted.

She remained indifferent, "All this time wasted, and I end up with one of V.V.'s lackeys. I guess it doesn't matter anyway. It seems my own lackey is soon to arrive..." She stated with a hint of humor.

Oz was frozen, and feared the worst. Has the Order found him? Have they finally come to kill him? No, the woman made no indication as she spoke, but how would she know V.V.? Could it be…

"C.C..." Oz said just above a whisper, but she still heard him.

"So you know me. I'm surprised V.V. mentions me." The now identified C.C. replied.

"You are the traitorous witch C.C. who betrayed the Order." Oz could not help but recite what he was brainwashed to believe.

The witch merely rolled her eyes, "Great, another brainwashed idiot. I haven't the time for this. Since you know who I am then you know that gun will do nothing but waste both our time." Without anymore explanation C.C. walked away from the confused teenager.

Lelouch flew over the burning park. He could see the remains of military vehicles, and several soldiers running or limping from the flames. He planned to land but was hit, and sent flaying downward.

His crashing caused a crater, and pushed up dust. The dirt quickly dissipated, and Lelouch stood to face his attacker. It wasn't an army, but a single tank which got a good shot in. He noticed how any surviving members of the explosion eyed him with fear.

They thought he was the cause of this explosion. Lelouch eyed the tank, and the surrounding area. He came to the south with one goal, and that is to capture members of the enemy forces to gain information on who was the leader, and where they were. Then this explosion caught his attention, and he flew his way over.

He managed to slip pass the fighting Britannians and Chinese, and took out some aerial forces on the way. Originally he came to investigate, but now sees this the perfect time to act.

The tank released another round which rammed into him. He skidded back but stayed up. He inspected his armor for any cracks, and saw only a dusted outline of where the bullet hit.

He rolled out of the way of another bullet, and broke into a run. Before the tank fired, he jumped into the air to dodge another round. Lelouch landed heavily onto the tank creating a noticeable impression.

He ripped open the hatch leading inside, and pulled the tank's officer out. The man struggled wildly, attempted to reach for his handgun, but Lelouch held him by the throat, and kept him from doing anything rash.

Lelouch noticed a grenade on the officer's person, and pulled it off the uniform. He removed the pin, and tossed it inside the tank before jumping off it with officer in hand. The tank exploded behind him, but the Chinese officer could only focus on his captor.

Lelouch stomped on his prisoner's leg until he heard a crack. The officer shouted in pain, and fell onto his back.

"Tell me where your leader is!" Lelouch ordered.

The officer trembled as he fought against the pain, "N-never! Britannian...swine!"

Lelouch pressed on the officer's broken leg, "Talk or I'll break the other one!"

The officer shouted as the pain resonated through his body, "D-die...you monster!"

Lelouch grabbed the leg which wasn't broken, and held it up. He then pressed his other hand against the knee, and slowly bent the joint.

The officer jolted at the strain, and nearly jumped when the joint snapped. Lelouch did not stop, and pushed further causing bone to pierce the skin.

"Tell me now!"

No response. The man was unconscious at this point which made Lelouch curse loudly.

He stood, and turned hoping to find another soldier to get answers from, but the something snapping instinctively made him turn and send his cape to kill. The separated cape stopped mere inches from there target when Lelouch saw who it was. The girl who started it all.

"Impossible..." Lelouch said bewildered.

The same green hair, the same straight jacket, the same everything. This was definitely the girl from Shinjuku. The girl who gave him this power. Although she was a bit muddled, she looked no different than the day she was shot. The one difference would be her expression. He remembered her being indifferent, and in his visions she never showed emotions.

Yet now...she seemed almost sad. Almost regretful.

"My fears are true...it seems." She said somberly, "I felt something was off, but hoped it was my imagination. To think history would repeat itself so soon...to think your power would manifest like this." The lime-haired girl made no sense to Lelouch, but before he could voice his confusion, another person interjected.

"What is that?"

Lelouch looked passed the revived girl to see a blond, green eyed teenager about his age who was dressed in Chinese military garb. An undercover Britannian?

C.C. turned to face Oz, "You followed me?" She asked.

Oz's eyes never left Lelouch's armored form, "You said your lackey would arrive...If you are C.C. then your lackey must be a Geass user, so I was curious. But...how is it possible for Geass to take physical form?" Oz's bafflement was clearly fearful.

Lelouch watched the two, and grew more and more confused. "Geass? Is that what this power is called?" Oddly enough, Lelouch felt as if he'd known all along.

"How is it possible that you are still alive?" Lelouch spoke, bringing the attention back to him, "And who are you?" Lelouch pointed at Oz, "Given your familiarity with...C.C...is it...I assume you are also a...Geass user." Lelouch cautiously used the unfamiliar vocabulary.

C.C. displayed the faintest of smiles, "There is a lot in this world you do not know boy...as for him," She motioned to Oz, "I've only met him today, and you'd assume right...he is also a Geass user."

"But," C.C. continued, "He is the only Geass user here." She stated mysteriously before glancing back at Oz, "You asked how is it possible for Geass to take physically form...it's not." She then faced Lelouch once again, and stared deep into the reflective visor.

"What you wield is not the wish known as Geass, but the Curse of rejection. A failed Geass contract becomes a Curse. Instead of Geass granting your wishes...the Curse shall refuse them."

Lelouch stood frozen, "What...what are you talking about?"

C.C. became indifferent once again, "It will turn you dreams into your nightmares...instead of protecting your sister, you shall endanger her. Instead of saving her...you shall kill her."

A/N: Felt like applying a similar concept from my other story. Power corrupts, and something as strong as this is bound to corrupt its user; just not in the way you think. Got the idea of a Curse from Renya of Darkness which is canon in the known Code Geass universe. There is also a "continuity error", since in the previous chapter Lelouch referred to his power as Geass while here he learns the name. Oh well.

[SKIP NEXT PARAGRAPH IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS]

Along with the ending of Nightmare of Nunnally which has Lelouch becoming C.C. or the "Demon King" (Minus the whole wired geass thing), and more like the inevitable overtake of the "Curse" which will turn Lelouch into a "Demon King" due to his evil deeds. Is this a spoiler? Probably? Sorry?

[END OF SPOILERS]

The curse in Renya is very different and vague in its origin and solution, so I've tweaked it. Sue me...actually don't, I'm just a broke college student doing this for fun.

Like a hero for fun except not bald or stupidly powerful, but still broke.
