Chapter 8. Weapons of war.
( Britannian military base- Location unknown-)
Sound of heavy industrial machinery being used filled the air as work crews were using lift crane to unload massive metal crates from a massive cargo ship. The ship had arrived at port mere moments ago and the workers were ordered get the contents ashore immediately. The crane was in the middle of moving one of the boxes and was slowly setting it down onto the ground. Couple of men were giving signals for the operator to slow down and release it.
" Alright boys onto the next one!" The crane operator yelled out as he moved the crane back to the ship.
" What the hell is in these things anyway?" one of the dock workers asked curiously as he watched a fork lift struggle to move it to one of the building nearby.
" Some salvage they dug up in the ocean I imagine. This has been the fifth ship this month." another dock worker said as he watched another crane appear next to the ship.
" Alright guys we got two more small boxes to go before we tackle the big one!" The operator yelled out making the two conversing dock workers to look at each other in shock.
" Small! Some of these things are bigger than my house!"
(- scene break -)
In an office over looking the dock on one side and the inside of the building's main floor stood a tall, regal, man with one eye covered in a eyepatch while the other was an cold black color. He wore an outfit of a high ranked military officer and wore a hat to cover his thin brown hair. He watched the workers unloaded and move the boxes form the ship to the building he was overseeing with a look of indifference. He noted one of his subordinates walking towards him with a data pad.
" The contents of the ship from Yokosuka have been checked and accounted for sir."
" Have any of those men seen the contents?"
" No sir. I also have some of the data General Bartly was working on. However there seems to be a problem sir."
" Go on."
" Our suspicions of one of the two units from our excavation falling to the hands of terrorist has been confirmed." The subordinate handed over the data pad to the officer. " Here sir."
He read through several paragraphs and looked at images making the man growl in anger.
" I knew better then to trust Bartly with something so sensitive like this. He was always trying to stay on the good side of the royal family or cracking under pressure." the officer tossed the data pad back to subordinate who struggle to catch it before letting out a sigh of relief as he caught it.
" But Admiral Morgan sir! Prince Clovis ordered the operation to be conducted under his supervision since he was Viceroy of Area 11 at the time. We didn't have any other choice but to rely on Bartley's men." the Subordinate brought up the point to the now confirmed admiral.
" Thanks to those fools we lost one of the units." Morgan said as he left the office with his subordinate following after him as they started walking on the high catwalk. Morgan looked down at the main floor to see several scientists and engineers working on various metal objects. As the two men looked down at the science team at work they saw one of them typing on a computer with wires connected to a massive piece of machinery resembling that of an human arm. The fingers were flexing every few seconds as the man operation it would write down something after each movement.
Morgan moved on to another area this one with a fully built mech standing 16 meters in height and with the cockpit open allowing several cables to be attached inside. Its body was box like in shape with a square orange visor set where the face would be on the humanoid machine. Just a few feet away was another one only with large bulky shoulders however this one was missing the bottom half of its body resulting it to be just a torso hanging by chains and wires. The computer monitors being used were showing a detailed layout of the each massive robot and the words OZ-06MS Leo and WF-02MD Virgo 2 on the bottom of the screen.
" We must recover unit 2 at all cost! We put to much time and effort just to have some little upstarts steal it from us! However our current military arsenal won't be enough we'll need to better understand more about these so called mobile suits. Get in touch with Prince Schneizel and his Camelot Special Research Division. Tell them everything but Clovis's involvement in our operation, we might be able to recover from this set back."
" It will be done. What of Unit 1 sir."
" For now we'll keep it under our care. The information we could learn is vital if we are going to bring back Unit 2."
" Yes sir. I'll notify the new Viceroy for Area 11 Princess Cornelia as well." The Subordinate was about to leave when Morgan raised a hand signaling him to stop.
" Sir?" was the only thing the man could say as the admiral was quiet for a few seconds.
" Hold off on that for the time being. Cornelia will be to stubborn and won't take our word seriously. Le'ts have her people experience just how bad the situation is for a while. When she's finally had enough then will lend our assistance. By then we should have a few working prototypes of our own. This will no doubt prove a excellent way for us to gain a better understanding on this Mobile Suit technology." Morgan said as if he didn't take into account the lives the might be lost.
" But sir! Her forces might not be able to handle it. If the royal family or even his majesty were to learn of your plan!" the Subordinate tried to reason with Morgan but the officer just smiled darkly.
" His majesty won't be concerned in the slightest. Now bring in Unit one." Morgan commanded letting the other man salute and ran off to follow his order.
" Y-Yes sir! Alright bringing in Unit 1." Morgan watched the his subordinate talk into a ear piece. Once the words were relayed across the intercom making all personal scramble as a massive metal box was finally brought in. The size of the box was slightly taller than the two robots or mobile suits it had been parked next to. The work crews moved into position as they checked over the digital locks on the container.
Morgan only stared at the box with excitement looked to his subordinate. " Open it."
The containers locks clicked one by one until a hiss of pressurized air indicated that they were all released. The side of the box facing Morgan split and opened slowly adding a bit of suspense. When it was fully open Morgan was staring at the massive mobile suit only this one was more detailed than the Leo or Virgo next to it. The machine was mainly white and blue with a touch of red and yellow across certain parts of the body, a large green orb was set in its chest. The left arm was holding a form of shield while the right arm held a massive twin barrel rifle of sorts.
Morgan stared at the most noticeable part of the mobile suit with a look of awe in his one eye. It was an all to familiar grilled face of a Gundam with a double spiked crest resting on its forehead. Morgan continued to just look in awe as the world grew silent around him. Every person there was speechless at seeing this massive giant standing before them. The machine itself was seemed to not only radiated power but also menacing feeling in anyone who looked upon it.
" So this is a so called Gundam." was all that Morgan said as the crews snapped out of their trance and moved to work on the Gundam. He turned back to subordinate who was still looking at the Gundam until Morgan got his attention. " We have work ahead of us."
(-Area 11-Ashford Academy-)
Lelouch was now exiting his first class after me had slept through most of it until Rivalz and Shirley had woken him up. He was in the middle of putting his books in a bag when noticed his friends walking up to him. Shirley looked over Lelouch with a look of concern making him uneasy.
" Lu Lu you don't look so good! Are you feeling alright?" Shirley said as she noticed him looking a little pale and tired than normal.
" Seriously man you look like your sick or something! Did you get any sleep you know we got an exam today." Rivalz asked light heartedly but Lelouch could tell he cared a lot more than he let on.
( Like I needed a reminder.) Lelouch thought dreadfully as the mere mention of exams. " If I look that bad then I'll head to the nurse's office. " Lelouch started exiting the classroom and lifted his hand in a causal wave to signal them goodbye. Rivalz and Shirley just watched him leave until Rivalz looked down at his watch and quickly turned to Shirley.
" Isn't your swim club meeting today?"
" Yeah. Thanks for reminding me well I see later. Huh?" Shirley noticed something and looked at Lelouch's desk to see his bag. ( Lu Lu forgot his stuff? Well I just give it to him on my way.)
(- back with Lelouch-)
" Attention all students. A reminder that the funeral service for Prince Clovis will be tomorrow at 12:00. All classes will be canceled tomorrow however all students must attend the service. Thank you and have a pleasant day." the intercom of the school sounded out in the hallway.
Lelouch was making his way to the nurses office and seemed lost in his own thoughts. He wasn't paying much attention to the people walking past him until he felt a hand on his shoulder making him turn around. The person responsible for gaining his was Kallen and from the look on her face she seemed nervous about something.
( What's up with her?) He thought when the girl didn't speak after gaining his attention.
" Um. Lelouch do you have a minute?" Kallen asked Lelouch as she held a onto her arms behind her back. " You remember that phone call the other day? You know from the bathroom.." She blushed and looked slightly away no doubt the memory of the what happen was to much for her.
( Oh thats why. I guess I be embarrassed to.) Lelouch thought as his eyes drifted down to her chest for a split second but snapping back up when he noticed her head turning back. " Yeah. Listen I'm really sorry about that. If you want me to make it up to you just name it." He offered her incase her anger was still present and also because his cheek started feeling numb for some reason.
" No No! Thank you but I'm not talking about - that-. I was wondering if you could help me find out who's caller I.D it was from the phone? I liked to contact that person again."
( I can't have her or her people call me when I'm at school. Wait I got it!) Lelouch was coming up with a plan as two started walking down the hall. " Well it was a school phone so I'm not sure. I'll asked the principal to check the phone records but I can't guarantee anything." Lelouch said as he walked right past the nurses office.
The two didn't notice Shirley move into the hallway and spotted Lelouch walking beside Kallen. She yelped and ran back into a empty class room and clutched the bag she was carrying. She looked down at the bag as a horrible feeling started to settle in because of what she just seen. ( Lu Lu is walking with Kallen! Please don't let it be!)
(-scene break-)
( - Back at the scrapyard-)
C.C was laying back on the bench and sighed out in boredom as she tossed a helmet and down. When it came back down for the fourth time she stopped and sat up to look over at the box that use to be filled with pizza only to find it empty. " How does he expect me to stay here when theres nothing to do or eat?"
When she started to stand and began thinking of ways to relieve her boredom she decided to head out. Placing the helmet back on the bench, she made her way outside and closed the massive doors behind her. As the doors slowly closed a large clamping sound could be heard but C.C paid no mind as she knew the doors were now locked. When she turned around all that filled her vision were pile's of rusted metal and old junk.
" There's nothing here but forgotten trash anyway." She said as she looked at an old car that was no longer useful as rust had settled in. Her eyes looked a bit distant when looking at all of the decayed pieces of metal until eventually she started walking to the main gate. When she finally walked through and was about to close the gate she paused and looked at the scrapyard one last time before shutting. " I hate this place."
(-scene break-)
( - Ashford Academy-)
Lelouch had walked with Kallen all the way to the principal's office and told her to wait while he asked the principle for the phone records. What Lelouch really had planed however was much different and was now being put into action. When Lelouch had asked the Principal's secretary if he was able to meet with him she just smiled and waved him on. He smiled back and went on to enter the Principal's office and found the man in charge of Ashford Academy reading something at his desk. This man was not only the founder and principal of the school but was also Milly's grandfather and was once a close friend to Lelouch's mother back in the day.
" Lelouch my boy what can I help with you today?" The elder man said with a warm smile towards Lelouch.
" Well you see I have a problem and I think you're the only one at the moment that can help me."
" And what would that be ?" The elder man asked as he noticed Lelouch's hand covering one of his eyes.
" I need you to follow my instructions!" The power of Geass flared up has he removed the hand covering his eye and made contact with the Principles own eyes.. The red hue surrounding the iris's was letting Lelouch know that Geass was working.
" Yes your highness! What do you need of me?" The principle demeanor changed as he spoke.
" Are the Ashford's still in possession of any of their knightmare related equipment before their fall from grace?" Lelouch asked as he took a seat in front of the principal's desk.
" Yes thou most of it was back at the homeland before the Emperor disgraced us. What little we have left was used to work on the Ganymede model we keep on campus. I mainly keep it all in storage here on school grounds. ."
" I want you to give me access to both the equipment and all facilities you may have at the school. The next thing I want is for you to call someone capable of moving all of your said equipment and have them meet at this location the day after Clovis's funeral service. Understand?" Lelouch asked as he handed a piece of paper to Mr. Ashford and waited as he read it. The elder man finished reading and placed it in his desk before looking at Lelouch again.
" I will follow your orders sir!"
" Good. The last thing I want you to do is give Kallen Stadtfeld this number when she asks for it tomorrow. If she asks you for anything else about the number don't tell her but be discreet about it, make it seem like theres nothing else you can do." Lelouch said while pulling out a another piece of paper and wrote down a number. When he was done he stood back up and started leaving letting his Geass break contact. Mr. Ashford eyes return to normal acted like he just snapped out of a trace.
" Lelouch my boy what can I do for you today?" He asked the boy with a smile not remembering a thing.
" Well you see sir I was wondering if you could help rework my schedule? I'm taking a night time job" Lelouch lied knowing his plan was set in motion.
" Really? I admit I didn't expect you getting one. I'll see if it's possible can but you might have to tough it out this semester."
" -sigh- Well it didn't hurt to ask. Sorry to have bothered you about this." Lelouch said as he made his way out of the office.
" No problem my boy! But you might want to loosen up a bit or you might miss out on life." the principle threw in the last part just as Lelouch shut the door.
( Thats not going to happen for a long time.) Lelouch thought as he passed and waved at the secretary. He finally entered the hallway and looked to see Kallen still waiting on him.
" Well any luck?" Kallen asked with a little bit of enthusiasm in her voice.
" He looked into it and said to check with him tomorrow. That's all I could do I'm afraid." Lelouch said as the two started heading down the hallway.
" Still I really appreciate this. You know didn't have to go through all this trouble."
" Isn't that what friends are for?" He said nonchalantly while looking at Kallen through his pervertical vision. Upon hearing this Kallen eyes widen disbelief as she turned her head in his direction. They walked in silence for what seemed like a long time before the words had finally settled with her and smiled at him.
" I guess so. Thanks again anyway." She said as the two stopped in a cross-section of the hallway. Kallen seemed to be hesitating about something as Lelouch looked at her with a questioning look on his face.
" Listen just because we're members of the student council doesn't mean we can't... What the?" Lelouch noticed a green haired girl walking just on the outside of the window behind Kallen. He growled when he recognized the girl to be C.C who was walking through the crowds on campus. She demeanor seemed to show no regard for the people round her as she looked around the campus making Lelouch scowl at her being so careless.
Kallen noticed him looking past her with a look of anger on his face." Um Lelouch what is it?"
" Sorry but I've got to take care of something. See ya later." Lelouch said as he ran leaving Kallen just staring blankly at his retreating form. She turned to the window Lelouch was looking at but saw nothing but fellow students outside.
( What was that about?)
(- with Lelouch-)
Lelouch finally reached the courtyard and looked through the herds of students going to and from class in a frantic manor. He finally notice a shining green color in his peripheral vision making him turn quickly to see C.C moving around the corner. He grunted in anger at having to chase her silhouette and it only grew when she entered one of the main buildings on campus. He ran inside and was quite surprised to see no one in the hallway when he first entered but merely dismissed it as luck on his part. He again looked for C.C and as he moved closer to the stairwell he looked to see her ascending the steps.
( You got to be kidding me?) Lelouch thought as he started making his way up the stairs.
Maintaining his anger Lelouch walked past the first three floors of the building keeping the Girl he was after in eyesight. However his already sore body was beginning to weigh on him as the fourth flight of stairs became rather difficult to climb. His breathing grew heavy as he started to sweat showing how the act of prolonged running toll on him. Through much agony he finally reached the roof but he needed to rest so he shifted his weight to his knees for a bit. When he caught his breath he looked up to see where C.C had went only to catch her walking through the finally stairwell and walking through a door to the roof.
( Seriously enough with the stairs! I need to see a nurse anyway!) Lelouch thought as he growled out his anger mostly to himself as he walked to the roof.
When he made it to the roof was saw the girl he was chasing resting on a railing letting displeasure show on his face. The Green haired girl simply looked back to see him and didn't fully turn around when he showed up.
" Yes what is it?" She said as noticed Lelouch breathing was heavy and moisture was starting to form on his forehead.
" Don't act like (exhale) you don't(exhale) know whats wrong!" Lelouch struggled to catch up on his breathing before finally settling down and continuing. " Are you insane you can't be seen walking around here!"
Don't act strict with me I was bored and we ran out of pizza. Plus your toy doesn't talk back." She said nonchalantly while see looked at campus below her.
" Wait you just left Epyon alone! What if somebody finds even worse he gets stolen I can't afford to have that machine in the wrong hands!" Lelouch gave his reason for being upset at the girl careless action's.
" I did lock up everything before I left. Plus no one really go near that place anyway."
" Even so You shouldn't be here you don't belong here!"
" I don't belong anywhere." She was about to say something else when she noticed someone across for their roof marking on the wall with a sharp object before walking off. C.C finally noticed the other markings on the wall and grew curious. " What is that person doing over there?"
" Oh is she doing it again today?" Lelouch said as he noticed what C.C was pointing out the marked wall.
" Again?"
" Yeah she going to be marking on the wall like that everyday from no on because I used my geass on her to do so."
" Geass?"
" The name of the power I have. That what I heard when we first made contact."
" Heh. You testing to see how long it lasts?" C.C said in amusement.
" I need to the specs of my weapons don't I. So behave or I'll use it on you!" Lelouch said in a threatening manner towards C.C.
" Would it work on me?" C.C said more false innocence making narrows his eyes at her. She leaned back to slightly glare at him. " Oh relax you and I are in this together. I won't do anything to endanger us or our unique partnership."
" Whatever lets just get you out of sight before you cause any damage." Lelouch said as he motion his head to her giving the signal to follow him.
They started to make their way down the two keeping silent as they passed each floor. Eventually they reached the main floor and were making their way down a hallway when Lelouch heard footsteps heading in their direction. He then heard a familiar female voice from around the corner and they came from the same area as the footsteps.
"Lulu where are you? Oh where could he be?" he finally recognized the voice of his friend Shirley.
(Oh crap!)
He quickly thinking of something to avoid Shirley seeing C.C and more than likely ask him multiple questions he looked around for something to help him. He spotted an open door and decided to push C.C inside making the Green haired girl yelp in surprise. He shut the door just in time because Shirley was coming rounding the corner and was making her way towards him.
" Oh Shirley whats up?" Lelouch said as he stayed close to the door incase something happened.
" Hey Lulu you left your bag in our first class so I figured I give it to you before it was to late. That is before..." Shirley suddenly stopped as she looked a bit sad about something making Lelouch quirk a eyebrow at her action.
" Well thanks I guess. I must be out of it then I thought if I left this behind." Lelouch reached for the bag slowly but stopped when Shirley looked at him with a question look.
" Umm Lulu?"
" Yes what's wrong?" Lelouch asked her but she didn't answer as she just remained quiet.
" Never mind it's nothing. Well I going to be late for my swim club meeting so I guess I'll see you later." Shirley said finally giving the bag to Lelouch, turning around and started to walk away from Lelouch. However her mind still lingered on about Lelouch walking with Kallen earlier making her slump in depression. ( I know I saw them walking together. Why didn't I say anything about it?)
" Will she seemed sad about something. Anyway are you ok in there?" Lelouch finally spoke up after waiting for Shirley to be gone out of ear shot. He opened the door he shoved C.C through slowly and found her laying in a pile of janitorial equipment glaring at Lelouch as a mop rested on her head.
" This whole shoving me past doors is getting old real fast!" She sneered at him as she stood up and walked out of the janitor's closet. Lelouch only laughed as he shrugged his shoulders not even attempting to apologise.
(-scene break-)
(-Area 11 -Shibukawa general hospital-)
In a well lit room in Shibukawa general hospital layed a mysterious man with long blonde hair, and his body was covered in bandages. The man's sleep seemed peaceful until his eye slightly opened when he heard voices outside his room.
" So what's the info and condition of the patient Doctor?"
" Patient is male name unknown. A couple found him and brought him a two weeks ago. He was in critical condition and was treated for surgery. He was given special treatment due to his injuries. Lastly he was transferred a while ago from another unit to recover."
" Is he conscious?"
" No. One of the nursing staff was just in there but he should be up by tomorrow if the biotics worked. His symptoms have improved greatly from before."
The man turned out of the conversation and looked the room to realise he was in a hospital. He attempted to sit up but the pain in his right side was too much forcing him back down. As time passed he grew curious and started to scan the room for any source of info to his whereabouts. He looked out the window to a unfamiliar cityscape along with the blaring sun.
" I am on earth. But how?" the man simply question.
He looked to the door as it opened to see a young nurse walk in. When she moved to check on him she noticed him awake and looking at her and smiled.
"Oh good you're awake. I'll check your bandages then I'll tell the doctor of your status."
When the nurse walked over and started looking over his wrappings the man simply grabbed her wrist. The nurse was shocked at first but later settled down when he made no move against her.
" I must ask you this. Where am I exactly?" the man struggled to ask.
" Well you're in a hospital."
" No I meant what city am I in. What country? Anything?"
The nurse rose an eyebrow at the man's strange questions and asked. 'Sir can you recall your name or anything?"
The man paused and looked at her for a few seconds. ( Guess I'll act the part at least until I figure out where I am.) " No. I can't remember my name ma'am."
" I see. Well don't worry I'll get the Doctor for you. Maybe he can help."
The nurse left the room leaving him to stare up at the ceiling and let him to his thoughts. ( I wonder if Noin is alright?)
(-scene break-)
(- Ashford Academy-)
The day was finally done and Lelouch had not only convinced C.C to stay out of sight by staying in his room but he also managed to pass his test. Thou it proved difficult since he didn't really study for it worries were satiated when he passed with a above average grade. He left the class and ignored the late announcements in favor of just wanting to go home. When finally got back he made his way to the dining room to find Sayoko helping his sister with her some book work. He smiled when he saw his sister turn his direction.
" Oh hey Lelouch did you have a good day at school?" The blind girl asked her elder brother with a happy smile on her face.
" As good as any I guess. I just glad it's finally over." Lelouch said as he rubbed the back of his head thinking back with C,C. He just wished she actually stayed in his room rather than wandering off again.
" Thats good to hear. Brother you sound tired do you need to go to bed early?" Nunally asked as her voiced showed her concerns.
" Yeah but I got somethings to take care of some things. I'll just going to take care them before this day is finally through. Don't worry I'll spend the whole day with you tomorrow I promise." Lelouch said as he made his way to his bedroom room leaving his sister in the care of Sayoko.
When he finally walked into the bedroom he sat down at his desk and digged in his pockets. He eventually pulled out a flash drive and plugged it in to the computer resting on his desk. He ignored C.C who was not only in the bathroom behind him but was also changing out of his clothes she wore the day before and today.
" I was surprised today. You seemed so interested in that Epyon I actually thought you forgot about my gift to you. So what all have you learned about geass?" C.C said to Lelouch over her shoulder taking a look to see him pulling up detailed images of the Gundam up on the monitor.
Lelouch stopped his work moved the mouse to another file he had set up and opened it. What popped up was a detailed list of notes Lelouch had set up however this was on the power resting in his eye.
" From what I have gathered in order to use Geass I need to have direct eye contact with the subject. Transparent object's like eyeglasses present no problem. The effective range is approximately 270 meters also the appears subject has no memory of events before and after the power is used. I think this is due to damage caused by the Geass interfering with the brain of the subject. Also if the signal is optical I can reflect it." Lelouch was voicing out his summarized notes on his geass power. While he was explaining this he heard the sound of ruffling behind him no doubt from clothes being moved. C.C was now stripped of clothes from before and was putting her old white prison outfit.
" In the short time you had it you've learned alot." she said when she finally put the last clasp in place and fixed her hair from being stuck in her clothes. She finally finished by fixing the clasp around her neck letting her outfit while looking over her shoulder at Lelouch. The look in her eyes gave was one of concern and indifference at the boy sitting behind her.
" My opponent is an empire that controls more than one third of the entire world. There no such thing as being to careful." Lelouch said as he sat up and walked up to his bedroom window. He watched the sun burn an orangish gold over the skyscraper in the distant past the Academy.
" I understand if you were an Elven but your a Britannian aren't you? This opponent may be too much to fight with just Geass." C.C said as she fully turned to face Lelouch's back who was still facing away from her.
" But I don't just have Geass do I."
" You mean that Gundam thing you found. I admit you could possibly take down an army in it but it's not really you piloting is it?" The words from C.C seemed to unsettle Lelouch making the boy tighten a fist. He slowly turned to her with a questioning glare.
" What do you mean?" Lelouch growled out.
" You put a lot of effort in analyzing that thing but from what you told me you still don't know enough. How is it that you were going from just figuring out how that things limbs move to taking out trained soldiers like they were nothing. It doesn't add up."
" ..." Lelouch remained silent but he looked down at his hands with a solemn look. The memory of the past battles coming back vividly in his mind.
" When I found you in that scrapyard your body was shaking. You seemed to be mumbling different things while you were unconscious. I know for a fact that isn't normal or good for your health. Does it have something to do with that Zero system you mentioned?"
Lelouch was suddenly sent back to the vision that struck him from before during his battle with the other Gundam that eventually went to fighting the Britannians later on. The image of his mother that appeared before him during the battle sent chills down his spine as it went from the loving face to a lifeless corpse. " I know its dangerous to use it but theres something that keeps drawing me back. Like it's trying to tell me something, what that is I don't know?"
" I don't get it? Why do you think it's trying to tell you something?" C.C said not understanding what Lelouch was talking about.
" While I was fighting in the Epyon I got a vision from my past during the conflict. It was all really hard to tell with everything going on that I didn't know what was real or what was just a hallucination at the time." Lelouch tried to explain the best he could to her. However the look in her eyes was enough to tell him she still couldn't grasp it.
" So it's something from your past that's drawing you back?"
" No that's not just it. During the fight I could see every outcome of the battle both of me and my opponents actions. It looked so real that I actually thought most of them had happened at times. Its an advantage I could use towards my goal."
" Your goal of destroying Britannia?"
" That and much more. I want to build a world where my sister can find happiness. A gentler world."
" So to have this utopia What are you willing to do to make it happen?"
" Its simple. When someone wins the fighting will end." Lelouch said as a smug evil grin spread across his lips. C.C couldn't help but be impressed and a little bit terrified at the action.
(-scene break-)
(- the next day at Ashford Academy-)
Lelouch had gotten to class on time but was still groggy from staying up a late the night before studying both Epyon and geass. He might have stayed up longer however Sayoko made manage to convince him to go to bed saying " It's not good for a anyone to stay up late on a school night. Even if you have a girl over."
That last part the was still confusing to Lelouch because before his maid had walked in the room he had made sure C.C was hidden. He put it off when he noticed Rivalz chatting with a group of students close by. Finally noticing Shirley walking to her desk he leaned up and got ready to get her attention.
" Hey Shirley what's going on? Everybody seems more excited in the morning than usual."
" Oh lelouch you didn't hear? We are getting a new student today. Its what everyone been talking about." she said while smiling.
Lelouch was about to find out more when the teacher had called out to everyone making all eyes look to the front of the room.
" Alright class I'm pretty sure you already heard that today we are getting a new addition to our class. We everyone lets try to be polite because here he is."
As the teacher motion his hand the sound of footsteps entered the room. Lelouch's eyes widen as he saw a familiar brown hair boy walk into the classroom and stand in front of the students. The boy bowed as the eyes of the class focused on him with mixed expressions. The words that left the boys mouth confirmed Lelouch of who he really was.
" I will be going the Ashford student body beginning today. My name is Suzaku Kururugi it's a pleasure to meet you."
(- Chapter End-)
Well that was the end of that. I will put the end of my thoughts on chapter 9 cause I almost done with these down time chapters. Don't worry I'm working my way to the fighting but like a little filler chapters does the mind good right?
