Turn XXIII: ….And admit that the waters around you have grown.
(Kamine Island)
Doug Jones, the radar operator was very bored as he was monitoring the surrounding area around Kamine Island.
Just then bleeps came around his radar.
"Battle group Sarmizegetusa this is the Battle Group Coldstream, do you read?" he asked.
"Affirmative Coldstream" the reply came.
"Battle group Sarmizegetusa you are moving too fast and in an incorrect course, please correct" Doug said.
"Affirmative Coldstream" the reply came.
"Battle group Sarmizegetusa you are on a collision and attack course with us, correct course and slow down or you will be regarded as hostile!" Doug said now a bit alarmed at the situation.
"Affirmative Coldstream" the reply came.
*BOOM* the Sarmizegetusa's long range artillery came and bombarded killing him and they began their assault on the Coldstream guards.
(Slayers meeting room).
"Can you actually believe all this stuff?"Ohgi said to those around as they read what Lelouch gave Kallen.
"I would like to say no but two things force me to confirm these documents are legitimate, one being the fact that they contain actual scientific data which is both plausible and practical and the second is that they are written by that Earl of Pudding and to him the greatest crime a person can commit is writing false scientific data, so these documents are true" Laksharta said.
"And if you look at their flag you actually see that Lelouch was hiding in plain sight hi goal, since the Iron Hawk is in fact the Symbol of Geass penetrated by a sword" Todoh said.
"The question is what do we do now with this?" Kallen asked.
"I suggest that for now we move to isolate Kusakabe and this Geass thing" Kaguya suggested.
"Motion denied!" a voice was heard from outside their room and the U.F.N council representatives came into the room.
"What are you doing here!" Tamaki said.
"I am here because the hidden microphones in the room have showed us information which you refused to give to this government" he replied
"Councilmen Hatfield, what is the meaning of this!" Kaguya said to him.
"The meaning is that you are violating the basic principles of this country by withholding information from its government and making a decision without the approval of the Council" he said and he tapped and the key members of the Council appeared on the room's screen.
"Chairwoman Kaguya by withholding information from this council it is obvious that you are in direct violation of the principles of separation of powers within the state, so it is this council's decision o suspend you, what do you have to say in your defense" Ludwig Beck said to her.
(Kamine island)
*BOOM*BANG**BOOM*BANG**BOOM*BANG**BOOM*BANG**BOOM*BANG**BOOM*BANG*
Element of both the 8th army and the Black Knights where now fighting each other, but the pompous and parade ground soldiers of the Black Knight where no match for the battle harden veterans.
"Hear me Coldstream, for my voice is that of justice, you have defended the enslavers of people and the thieves of land, you have stabbed in the back those which you where jealous and did not breath the way you wanted to…..WELL NO MORE, CENTURIES OF ABUSE, CENTURIES OF PERSECUTION HAS GIVEN BIRTH TO US AND NOW ON THIS DARK KNIGHT YOU WILL BE PURGED!"
"AWHOOOO!" the soldiers screamed responding to Lelouch' war cry and in a few minutes the Coldstream guards were butchered, all except the Knight of Rounds Monica and Bismarck which escaped to Schneizell's location after the Emperor told them.
"Lelouch and Cornelia and Suzaku now stood against the Geass door"
"So how do we open this thing?" Cornelia asked.
"I think I can help with that Nellie" The voice of Anya was heard from behind.
"C.C, Anya what are you doing here, and how did you get past our guards!" Lelouch said surprised that they were here.
"And why are you calling me Nellie, only her majesty Marianne called me that!" Cornelia said.
"What else would I call you Nellie" Marianne replied and from her mannerism Cornelia could swear she was the one.
(Slayers council room)
"Why you sons of bitches if it weren't for us there wouldn't have been a U.F.N!" Tamaki shouted but was silence by a raise of the arm from Kaguya.
"I understand and I am aware that I have breached our principles, but you have also breached them by taping my private affairs" Kaguya countered.
"That was a necessary evil, which our most esteemed colleague Kusakabe deemed necessary" Another council member said and Kusakabe's grinning face appeared much to the disgust of those present.
"Let me ask you this, will you let this man remain a member of the council knowing what evil power he has!" Kaguya said.
At this Kusakabe only grinned and said:
"Lady Kaguya it is because of this 'evil power' that the U.F.N was born."
"WHAT!" A collective gasp ran through the Slayers.
"What do you mean Kusakabe? The U.F.N was born from the Slayers and Dragon Cavalry success in the Field and Lady Kaguya's political efforts" Xingke shouted back.
"You are half correct Todoh, what you just said gave the Slayers and audience with the members of the Chinese and European powers, but the fact is that while you had success, it was not great success."
"A nation is born from the will and power of an individual who among us small ants can stand tall like a giant, and none of you are that individual, you are no Cornelia "Witch of Brittannia", you are no Schneizell "The White Prince", and you most certainly are no Lelouch "Man of Miracles vi Brittannia", you are great men and women, but these people are titans" Councilmen Enrique Angelus said to them.
"Against their might most of the members of China and Europe originally conceived that the Total Victory of the Empire was near, especially with Lelouch and his remarkable military prowess against us" Councilman Zu Lu Han.
"We initially thought to join the Empire and avoid fighting a losing battle, but then Sir Kusakabe came and demonstrated his amazing power to make our enemies fight among themselves and our soldiers turn from sheep into lions, his power made the U.F.N possible, his power made the placements of the Gefjun generators possible, he is the reason we joined you!" Councilman Will Smith said.
"He showed us a power which the Empire feared which the empire could fall from, and he also showed you that you and the Slayers are not to be trusted, and so it is this Council's decision that Along with your suspension from power, general's Todoh and Xingke will be given forced retirement along with their main Lieutenants " Jean Layette said to them.
A sea of shouts and curses came from the Slates, but once again was stopped by a wave of the hand from Kaguya.
She calmly lifted herself from her seat and said:
"You have just cut off your right hand with your left hand, and you then offered your left hand to the devil for him to wipe his ass" she said and ended the conversation.
(Kamine Island)
Lelouch, C.C , Cornelia, and Suzaku entered the Sword of Akasha, once inside Marianne materialized into Flash and blood.
"What in God's name!" Cornelia replied as she witnessed it.
"Don't be so surprised children, the power of Geass has unlimited potential" Charles said as he appeared.
An eerie moment of silence followed, until it was broken by Lelouch who said:
"Well I hope your story is a good one"
(Ashford Academy)
Nina who arrived just a few hours ago in Tokyo was in a depressed mood, she built F.L.E.J.A with the intention of being of use to princess Euphemia, but her creation only brought senseless destruction.
Her thought's then returned to something that Professor Lloyd said to her right before she departed for the Science base to begin her research.
"Remember Nina, science in itself is neither good nor evil, it's all up to how it is used, but remember a scientist greatest fear is not failing his experiments, but succeeding at them, for they show the routes to uncharted waters, and there being the map is where monsters reside"
"Is this what you meant professor…." Nina lamented to herself deeply ashamed at what she had crated.
(Sword of Akasha)
"So this is your plan! To merge every single human into one being" Lelouch said to them.
"Yes! You see because of our individual nature chaos and lies occurs, if we are one body one soul than that chaos disappears" Charles replied and started the Thought elevator.
"He ha ha ha ha ha ha ha" Lelouch suddenly laughed out loud.
"What is so funny son?" Marianne said.
"You believe that lies and individuality is the source of pain and suffering of this word! That is stupid!" Lelouch replied.
"What do you mean?" Charles asked.
"I ask you when a Nunnally tells another that he or she is pretty when in fact she is ugly, that he is fine, when she is in pain, why does she do this? She does not do it because she wants to hurt them, but to prevent them for being hurt, you blame the fault of human nature and immaturity on a portion of the human should, you want to return this world back in time before you saw it's ugly face, a stalemate of society, an eternal time out which will only lead to stagnation" Lelouch replied and he placed on the ground a small cage which he had been carrying.
"Lies born hatred, only by permanent truth can we achieve peace, Nellie talk some sense into your brother!" Marianne said to Cornelia.
"If the truth is so important why have the two of you lied to us our entire lives, and why didn't you warn us of the nobles since you are king father and you know what goes on in your kingdom!" Cornelia angrily spat out as Charles now started Ragnarok and then extended his hand to try and steal C.C code.
"Saying lies are the origin of evil, but you use one big lie in your so called crusade, Worshipping the truth but you blaspheme it by using propaganda to suit your means and discarding the truth when you deem convenient, if you really are so adamant about destroying lies then you should destroy the biggest source of lies: YOURSELF FATHER!" Lelouch said as he connected his V.A.R.I.S gun with the cage with a small cable and attached some electronic device on the gun and pointed it at his father.
"That gun will do no good boy! I am immortal!" Charles said with a chuckle.
"Yes your right, it would take a miracle for this to work….." Lelouch said he then cocked the gun
"…And miracles are my specialty"*BANG*"
Lelouch fired and Charles suddenly felt how great pain went through his body and he collapsed on the ground.
(Slayers military base)
"So what do we do now?" Ohgi asked around.
"The news of what the Council did has now reached the army, part of it will support us, so we are down but we are not for the count" Todoh replied.
"What move we do next depends on what the Empire does next and what does the Council does next" Kaguya said and lamented the fact that the U.F.N was falling apart, just as it had been so easily built it is now easily being demolished.
It was not a stable union, it was a house of cards and now someone sneezed on it.
(Sword of Akasha)
Charles immediately snapped from his daze and upon looking and his hand and getting up he realized something which filled him with horror.
"What is it darling!" Marianne said as she rushed to her husband.
"My code it's gone!" Charles replied.
"Not gone, you see according to Lavoisier , matter is neither recreated nor destroyed, it is merely transformed from one form to another, and in your case that gun transferred your Code to this. just a little something i had Llyod make" Lelouch said and he opened the cage, from it he took out Arthur the cat.
"You gave the power to change the Universe to a cat!" Suzaku said astounded at what Lelouch had just did.
"Why not? They say that Arthur will return to lead his people and with Geass the power of the kings : AL HAIL KING ARTHUR!" Lelouch said and he raised Arthur high, he then hold him next to his chest and said to the cat:
"What is thy bidding my liege?"
*MEOW* Arthur replied.
"Yes my lord! The King said that you will write something in your and as for punishment you will be Banished to Santa Helena, an Island which is 9.000 miles away from civilization, and make no mistake, why I would love the opportunity to kill both of you, that would make me no different than you!" Lelouch replied.
(City of Pendragon, three months latter)
The nobles where gathered in the throne room, and it was broadcasted worldwide since it was the emperor's first appearance in three months.
"His Imperial Majesty!" The Chamberlain said and Lelouch along with Suzaku, James Stadfelt George, Omar, Cornelia, Euphie with a mask covering her left side of the face, all entered the ballroom, and while they aligned themselves around the throne, Lelouch stood in front of it and from his cloak pulled out a scroll and read it.
"I Charles zi Brittannia by the Grace of God of the Holy Brittannian Empire of all the Americas, the Areas, and of my other realms and territories, Sovereign Head of the Dominion, Defender of the Faith, to all Lords Spiritual and Temporal and all my subjects: Whatsoever to whom these presents shall come greeting realizing that death will soon claim me have written this will ,and any subject which is loyal to me or the Empire will pledge an oath of loyalty to the one which I have chosen to succeed me, and that person is my son…" The world held's its breath in pause.
"….Lelouch Vi Brittannia"
A collective murmur was heard throughout the room.
"Quiet! quite! "Grand Duke Ned Flanders, the Empire's Chamberlain said.
"Your Highness if I may be so bold to examine the will" he politely said and Lelouch handed him the will.
After examining it with a few glances Ned said to those gathered:
"The writing is without a doubt his Majesties, the will has the Imperial seal on it and the person which is chosen in the will has proven a many number of times that he is a mighty and wise leader of armies and countries, the will is legitimate and I as Imperial Chamberlain with the power invested in me by his Majesty Charles hereby proclaim you your Majesty Lelouch vi Brittannia, 99the emperor of our land!"
"We do not accept you!" John Careless brother of Ferdinand suddenly shouted.
"We will not accept the son of a commoner whore as our king!" he said.
"Not we will accept a illiterate monkey to be the lover of one of our princesses even if she is a whore!" Alexander Careless said and pointed at Suzaku of which Euphie had her arms wrapped around his left arm.
Just then Cornelia ran towards the two men and lifted both by the collars.
"Cornelia don't do kill them" Lelouch tolled her.
Cornelia turned her head at him, then smiled a wicked grin at him, then turned her head back to them and gave them their punishment.
'WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" a collective shock was what the world experienced as Cornelia punished them.
She had Showed the head of John Careless, into the Anus of Alexander Careless
"!" Alexander screamed from extreme pain.
"IS there anybody else which countesses my legitimate right to become king?" Lelouch aksed with an icy stare, but none argued.
"Then AL HAIL LELOUCH!" Suzaku screamed out to the crowd.
"Al Hail Lelouch!" they replied.
"I am afraid that there is one minor detail your majesty" James said to him.
"What Lord Stadfelt?" Lelouch asked.
"A king needs a coronation!" James said and with a wave of his hand a choir formed from the few nobles who supported Lelouch and his ideals started singing a coronation song.
Vivat, Vivat !
Vivat in Aeternum,
Vivat in Aeternum.
From Behind him Odysseus and Cornlia came and took of his cape and palced on his shoulder the furred cloak of the Emperor.
Vivat, Vivat !
Vivat in Aeternum
Vivat, Vivat !
Vivat in Aeternum
Vivat, Vivat !
Vivat in Aeternum,
Vivat in Aeternum.
They then lead Lelouch to sit on the throne and then the gates to the room opened only to reveal the archibishop whith him was the white crown of the Empire placed on a pillow and walked right up to Lelouch.
Vivat in Aeternum,
Vivat in Aeternum,
Lelouch then lifted himslef rom the throne, took a step towards the crown, and lifted it high with his hands, and then palced it on his head
Vivat, Vivat !
Vivat in Aeternum,
Vivat in Aeternum.
Hethen sat down back on the trone and Arthur jumped on his lap.
Vivat in Aeternum.
Vivat, Vivat !
Vivat in Aeternum,
Vivat in Aeternum.
Omar and Patton came from the left with a sceptre and from the right Euphie and Suzaku came with the Holy orb.
Vivat, Vivat !
Vivat in Aeternum,
Vivat in Aeternum.
Vivat in Aeternum,
Vivat !
Upon receiving the symbols of power Lelouch said with his thunderous voice:
"I have become king since it is the will of the people and if they ever find me unworthy of the crown then I as their humble servant will renounce it.
The quire was electrified by this short and simple speech and added great passion now to their singing
Vivat, Vivat ! Vivat, Vivat ! Vivat, Vivat ! Vivat, Vivat ! Vivat, Vivat ! Vivat, Vivat ! Vivat, Vivat !
Vivat in Aeternum, Vivat in Aeternum. Vivat in Aeternum. Vivat in Aeternum. Vivat in Aeternum.
„I have succeded, now i have the power to change the world!" Lelouch thought to himself as from the corner of his eye he looked to C.C and she could tell that he was through his eyes saying to her" I told you so
Vivat in Aeternum.
Vivat in Aeternum,
Vivat !
His Kingdom had finally come.
