Weiss Reacts to Code Geass R1, Part 1!
A/N: Welcome, one and all, to Weiss Reacts! Today, we'll be doing the most requested thing to put into a Reacts chapter, Code Geass! Please be advised that as clarified several times prior, for personal reasons, I will not cover R2, only R1. That kept in mind, however, there's another thing I will have to confirm here; Yang and Blake's relationship will not be resolved in this volume. One, we only have ten chapters left in the volume which I've already planned out, and two, I have a plan for that which will need next volume to play out.
However, with that in mind, let's get on with this chapter!
DISCLAIMER: RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth, otherwise there would be jokes about a Hadaka Apron in it. (Screw your child friendly shenanigans, this is Rooster Teeth.)
Code Geass belongs to Sunrise. Minor spoilers abound.
All mentioned franchises and characters belong to their respective owners.
"Shocking. So you actually managed to take care of Blake." Weiss remarked, raising an eyebrow at Yang. "Maybe Ruby's right about you."
"Oh come on. I'm not that bad!" The brawler protested. "I mean, come on. I couldn't just leave poor Blakey in bed with the sniffles all day!"
"You know, I can't remember anything about that day." Blake pointed out. "For all I know, she could've left me there the whole day."
The brawler looked at her, shocked. "Blake! Traitor!"
'Besides…..there's no way I'm telling anyone what happened there. No, that's my own problem to deal with. And thank Dust she doesn't remember, either….Dust knows what would happen if she did.'
Weiss just looked to Blake, rubbing her chin thoughtfully. "Interesting-"
"But it's just not in Yang to abandon a friend like that. You've seen it enough times." The catgirl pointed out, shrugging. "It's just not manly to, you know! Just not manly."
"…I'm still sceptical, but maybe it's because she's Yang." The heiress sighed, shaking her head. "Fine, I'll accept that Yang might, actually, have a little hint of knowing the slightest thing about taking care of someone who may or may not be ill."
The brawler smirked. "See? You can't deny my awesomeness. I'm, like, the best big sister ever! Blakey AND Rubes know I'm the best, so just accept it, Weiss~"
"Tch." The heiress scoffed, shaking her head. "That'll be the day. Next thing you'll tell me, pigs will fly and Hell will freeze over, oh, and Professor Faust will actually get a date with that weird Slen person!"
"I'm hurt!" Yang protested, clutching her chest and pretending to swoon from being offended.
Ruby frowned. "I'm a little bored. Can we do something fun?"
"…..well, we could watch some of the anime we've got stocked in the dorm." Yang suggested, shrugging. "I mean, ever since Jaune's sisters came to Beacon, I was thinking that…..you know, we should watch….gah, I forget! Oh, Code Geass!"
"You mean that anime with the guy with the eye thing that allows him to hypnotise people?" Ruby inquired, curious.
"…..close. Anyway…..don't any of you think that….err, what's her name…Euphemia! Yeah, don't any of you think Euphemia looks like she's the one from Code Geass?" The brawler inquired excitedly. Blake shook her head.
"I wouldn't get ahead of yourself there. That's the same thing you said about Isara and Valkyria Chronicles. I work with the Lagann and I personally think that's just quite unlikely."
"Well….gah, you guys'll see." The brawler promised. "I mean, seriously! I thought we actually had the real one going to our school, and what with Faust accidentally opening portals to Ylisse and all, that could make sense, right? Right?"
Weiss rolled her eyes. "I somehow doubt that's what happened. Just break the anime out already."
Yang grumbled as she stood up to go get everything ready. "You guys are no fun whatsoever, you know that? I'll get the stuff, you guys get snacks."
"Yang seems to be getting crazier and crazier every day." Weiss mused, turning to Ruby. "Is she always like this?"
"She did once go mad when she thought we had some girl called 'Ika Musume' in Signal and tried to prove it." The reaper admitted. "Turns out she just had very long blue hair and liked squids a lot."
"Wonderful." The heiress muttered. "Well, let's go get the stuff, kay? We still have some of those Cookieworld cookie dough ice cream."
"YAY!" Ruby cheered, happy. "We should go to Cookieworld with everyone next time!"
"Especially as we're still banned from Pancake Land, no thanks to Nora…." Weiss muttered, irritated.
In hindsight, letting someone like Nora near the largest batter bowl in all of the Four Kingdoms while she was in one of her 'praise the Sloth Gods' moods was a terrible idea.
Minutes later….
Team RWBY, for the umpteenth time in so many months, was gathered on couches in front of their dorm's TV, with Ruby clutching a tub of cookie dough ice cream in her lap, while Yang clicked one last thing on the player before moving back to sit next to Blake.
"I have the best seat in the house~" The brawler remarked, smirking and sidling up to the catgirl. Blake blushed profusely, shaking her head. "Q-quit it…."
"Oh come on. I'm just having a little fun, Blakey~ You're kinda adorable when you blush~"
Weiss cleared her throat. "Would you quit being a pervert?"
"Oh, fine, fine." The brawler shifted away from Blake. "I just can't help myself around sexy girls."
What Blake did in that moment could be accurately described as a combination of her falling over, coughing, screaming and laughing.
Ruby looked curiously at her teammate. "Blake? Are you alright?"
The heiress seethed, glaring at the brawler. "…..ggh. Just….start the stupid thing before I smack you around, you stupid pervert…."
"Alright, alright, I've had my fun." Yang sighed, chuckling and sparing Blake one more look. "We'll get on with this stuff already, Miss Bossyboots."
"Sometimes, I wonder if anything gets through that thick skull of yours." Weiss remarked snappily. "Whatever."
The Day A New Demon Was Born
"Holy Britannian Empire. Sound familiar to you, Weiss?" Yang responded, smirking.
Weiss scoffed. "Please. Those Britannians sound like a bunch of morons. True, they took over the rest of the world with robots, but if the rest of the world had them? They wouldn't even be an empire."
Blake rubbed her chin. "Hm. I'd forgotten how terrible the Knightmare Frames were this early in the series."
"So that's where you got those from?" The heiress inquired. "I'd always thought they were from that other weird one with the depressed boy and the eldritch abominations."
"There is no way in Hell that I'm daring to recreate the likes of Unit-01." The catgirl responded. "I may have the resources and skills to, but that's just asking for trouble."
"Oh, here we go. Also, moron! You do NOT move the king that early!" The heiress snapped. "Never! What are you, Eddard Stark or something?"
"You read those books?" Ruby questioned. The heiress shook her head.
"No, but I'm aware of his reputation for honour before reason."
Yang popped a piece of popcorn in her mouth, hugging a box of popcorn that she'd acquired minutes ago. "Dammit, Lelouch. How did you not recognise Kallen? Or does she not join Ashford until later? I forget. It's been a while since I've watched this."
"Heck if I know." Blake responded, shrugging. "….also, I forgot that Kallen was more of a bluenose than Weiss was."
"Hey!"
"I'm pretty sure that 'this badass mother' isn't going to have the same impact as finishing that sentence!"
"Poison gas. Right." Yang nodded. "That….sounds like the 'gas leak' excuse they use in just about everything ever. Points for the variation on gas though!"
"….are you serious? It's just a weird woman in a straitjacket and they're killing a whole settlement over her?!" The heiress cried, shocked. "…..what kind of terrible government is this?"
Blake shook her head. "Ohohoho, she's not a normal woman by any chance."
The heiress looked exasperated as, shortly, Blake was proven right. "…..oh, that's just convenient. He's about to get shot and then suddenly she can give him the power to make them shoot themselves. And isn't dead. Well.
Trust a teenager with a grudge and the smirk of the devil with the ability to make people do what he likes. That isn't going to go wrong."
Yang scoffed. "Oh, it goes horribly wrong."
"I can imagine."
"I meant for him."
The White Knight Awakens
"Of course, the professional-looking pilot woman trusts the shifty-looking teen who's killed about ten or so people." Weiss remarked, sighing. "Woman should be fired for not just shooting him dead."
Ruby frowned. "Well, true, I suppose. You'd think people would be just a little more savvy. I mean, he's standing in a pool of dead bodies!"
"And another thing; of course Suzaku had a pocket watch in his back pocket that deflects bullets. Wonderful." The heiress muttered. "This anime already seems like it'll be a series of extremely lucky coincidences."
Yang rolled her eyes. "You always complain about everything we watch."
"No, I complain about things that irritate me and make no sense whatsoever." Weiss corrected her. "And how is Lelouch instantly good at commanding a military unit who don't trust him at all?! What is this?!"
Blake shrugged. "He IS a gifted kid. Probably learned military tactics at Ashford or something."
"Still! Seriously?! At least our Jaune has had three or so years to learn how to command his team- we don't even see where Lelouch gets his skills!" Weiss complained. "Come on!"
"Oh, right, the Lancelot." Blake snapped her fingers. "I….I really should do something about that one."
"Seriously? You'd make it?" Yang inquired, curious.
"It sounds like a good challenge." The catgirl mused. "I think it'd be a good waste of time."
"…..well. It seems this Clovis fool had no actual checks for his security detail." Weiss muttered. "But, then again, security details weren't made to handle strangely-skilled teenagers with the ability to command people to do what they want."
The False Classmate
Weiss frowned. "….so that explains a lot about what I know about Nunnally. Good Dust…."
"That's rough." Ruby commented, shovelling a scoop of ice cream into her mouth. "That must've sucked."
"Clovis, we hardly knew ye." Yang announced, watching Lelouch kill him with a gun to the head at point blank. "May you be consigned to the pool of starter villains who were worth absolutely nothing and died worthlessly."
"And now you realise sickly little Kallen is a resistance fighter! It wasn't like she even changed her hair that much!" The heiress snapped irritably. "For an intelligent man, you seem to be pulling quite a bit of it from places I refuse to mention."
"See? Bluenose." The brawler remarked, smirking.
"Be quiet, Yang."
Ruby tutted, shaking her head. "Promising never to lie to her? Lelouch, dammit, don't make promises you can't keep! You're already lying to her anyway, considering you didn't tell her about the whole 'you just shot your own half-brother' deal.
This is not going to end well when she finds out."
"No, no it can't." Weiss sighed, shaking her head. "…..and come on, of course Lelouch catches her in the shower. Just the perfect opportunity to show off someone-YANG QUIT STARING"
"I wasn't staring!" The brawler cried, before muttering. "Dust, a girl can't appreciate attractive women anymore…."
"…well…..wonderful. Now an innocent man's going to get killed for Lelouch playing hero." The heiress grumbled. "This is why people don't play hero, dammit."
His Name is Zero
"Kangaroo court-style antics." Weiss stared at the screen in disbelief. "Seriously? You'd need to shove that gun into Suzaku's hand and rub it all over him to prove its his!"
Yang shrugged. "He's just an Eleven to them. Nobody'll care if he gets killed. Although seeing as he's one of the luckiest people ever, I wouldn't count on him not being executed."
"And, as expected, the morons shoot themselves in the foot by ridding themselves of their ace pilot to stop traitors." The heiress sighed. "This is why the Holy Schnee Empire is superior."
"The Holy Schnee Empire doesn't even exist~"
"Be quiet."
Ruby frowned again. "…..so you threaten people with fake poison gas after you tell them not to harm any more innocents?"
"…..this just gets stupider and stupider." Weiss muttered. "…..although that move, with making Jeremiah look guilty with that Orange comment, that was genius, I'll admit.
…..and he looks familiar too. Father always did talk about having a friend called Jeremiah he'd call Orange Boy…."
"See? And you're telling me it can't possibly be that Euphie Arc looks like Euphemia from Code Geass?" Yang cried, vindicated. "See?!"
The Princess and the Witch
"So the weird woman is immortal AND a freeloader. Wonderful." Weiss rolled her eyes for the umpteenth time. "I weep for the poor man's mental health. At least she seems useful and competent, unlike most other freeloaders of her ilk."
"…..okay, Weiss, now see that pink-haired girl?" Yang pointed at the screen. " See? Look and listen to her. Does she or does she not sound like Euphie Arc?"
"….I don't see it." The heiress shook her head. "No, she doesn't."
"Are you- dammit, Elf!" The brawler yelled. "Come on, throw me a bone here!"
Blake nodded in agreement with Weiss. "She's right. I mean, I can see why you might say that, but there's no way that our Euphemia looks anything like their Euphemia."
"….I….I can't believe you guys are blind to that kinda stuff." The brawler looked down in disbelief. "….just…..dammit."
Weiss rolled her eyes. "Anyway…..good Dust, this romance is sappy. Just kiss the girl already."
"Dust, how do you think we felt when you and Ruby were still going at it?" Blake shot at her.
"….touché, Belladonna. Touché. Also…good on this Euphemia person for standing up to those racists. At least she isn't a damsel-type princess.
Those types make me want to vomit."
Ruby clapped proudly. "Aaaaand she steps in the middle of a bunch of fighting giant robots to tell them to stand down? Good Dust."
"Manliness at its finest." Blake remarked.
"…..and stupid. If they decided to shoot, she'd be a fine paste on the ground if it weren't for her new boyfriend being in a giant robot himself."
The Stolen Mask
"Lock your briefcase better next time!" Weiss snapped. "That cat nearly got you in trouble wearing that blasted mask!"
"Yeah, but at least they bonded, right?" Ruby pointed out. "It's pretty cute."
"…yes, at the cost of nearly revealing his identity and falling off a rooftop." The heiress reminded her. "What kind of bonding experience is that?!"
"The kind we have involves beating the pulp out of Grimm." Yang offered helpfully.
"…..you have a point. I hate it when you have a point."
Attack Cornelia
Weiss seethed. "…..doesn't even value his own children…..figures. Of course someone like him would be a terrible father.
I bet he and Siegmund would get on great."
"You said it." Yang remarked, whistling. "That's just rough, treating your own kids as expendable. Although he had his reasons for it, I might add. Not spoiling them though."
"Crazy- you're so arrogant you're willing to shoot yourself just to get into a trap that you know is a trap?! Just how confident in your own abilities are you?!" Weiss snapped. "Lelouch, you fool, one day that pride's going to bite you in the backside."
Blake shook her head. "Nope."
"Are you serious?! He….GAH! Of course he manages to get everyone on his side, screws with them and…..aaaand his own arrogance bites him in the backside! I knew it!" The heiress declared triumphantly. "And quit whining about equal conditions. The woman's right, you should be skilled enough to set up situations to your own advantage if you're a master tactician.
Tch. Robin should give him lessons in tactics, the amateur."
To be continued…..
Episode Count: 7/25
A/N: Welp. Weiss already hates the series. Oh dear. Let's see what she thinks about some of the later parts.
Anyway, the other 18 or so episodes will be covered next chapter! And hopefully I won't have so much homework tomorrow, although college is college, so bleh.
So, I hope you enjoyed that, leave your ideas, comments, criticisms, reviews, thoughts and suggestions, and I hope you have a GREAT day! Until next time!
