Having able to escape this so called Britanana Han, Chewie, Leia and Luke got to work on trying to fix the Falcon as Han was coughing as smoke was all over his face as Leia came over and said with a towel in her hands as she gave it to Han
"What's the word Han?" Han clears the smoke from his face and said
"Do you want the good news or the bad news, your highness?" Leia then said "Either one it doesn't matter!" Han nodded and said to explain the situation they were currently in
"Well the good news is we still have communications and signals to this planet but however the bad news is the ship's engine is completely fried so unless we can find a good repair man on this planet to fix her up we're not getting off this planet anytime soon.."
Chewie barked in agreement Han then said to his co pilot "Chewie come on it's gonna be okay!"
Threepio then said "Oh dear this is bad the ship is badly damaged and it's only a matter of time before our ships fuel-" Han exclaimed
"Golden rod chill, it's not that bad!" Artoo beeped, Threepio nodded and said "Your quite right R2 it could have been much worse but thank the maker this planet has some civilisation at least!"
Leia rolls her eyes saying "Yeah a civilisation that had zero problem trying to shoot us down last night." Han then said cheeky while having a smirk
"Isn't that our kind of galaxy princess?" Luke then said as he was leaning on a wall "You think this place is associated with the Empire since they are known as the Holy Empire of Britannia…"
Leia then said "I think not Luke if they were we have been alerted but luckily we haven't heard about it and if we do this we could make this our new base of operations for the Alliance!"
Han nodded and said "Yeah we did just light-speeded ourselves into another galaxy somewhere far far away from Imperial rule so that's the positive karma but the bad karma however.."
Luke nodded and said "We need new parts for the Falcon to fly again?" Chewie roared in agreement with Luke
Han then said to Luke with a small smile "You're lucky we fixed the falcon in worse shape after all the falcon's one hell of a ship…"
Luke then said getting an idea "Han if there's at least something we learned from our friends…From last night." As he used air quotes on the word "friends" "They could have tech and parts we can use to fix the Millueam falcon up like new.."
Leia nodded, liking this idea "Luke could be onto something. Maybe if we can find the parts we need we can fix the ship in case of a quick getaway.."
Han then sarcastically "Oh joy! So we're just gonna waltz into town.." Leia then said "You know this isn't the first time we did this and if they're connected to the Galactic Empire then we won't have to worry about being wanted criminals by this called Britannia…"
Han then said "Okay Chewie and I will stay to check on what new parts we might need for the falcon while you guys go scout this new world!"
Chewie roars in agreement while Luke and Leia nodded as Leia took the two droids with her as they split up to cover more ground leaving Han and Chewie to work on the falcon and what new parts they needed while finding the parts they had on the ship
Elsewhere
Earth – Area 11 (formerly known as Japan)
The Tokyo Settlement was the capital of the Britannian-occupied nation. From an aerial view the entire settlement almost seemed like a normal city, aside from the fact that it was stolen from Japan and rebuilt to serve the empire. However, despite the defeat almost a decade prior, there was still plenty of resistance, people fighting the oppressive forces.
One such form of resistance was a truck driving along a bridge-road in the settlement with a Britannian law enforcement air-craft tracking them.
"This is Alpha-3. Target is travelling from Delta-12 to Delta-14 at a speed of 80 kilometres an hour."
"C.C.P to all mobile units, declaring a Code-3 from floor-5 to floor-2."
"All units, take 2-8-8, I want the target intact."
As this was occurring; an elderly man sat across from what appeared to be a Britannian nobleman at a game of chess with several bodyguards around him. A television along the side was displaying a newscast.
"Here's video footage of yesterday's terrorist bombings in Osaka. The secretary reported 59 casualties in this incident: 8 Britannians and 51 others"
The timer went off as a guard turned off the TV via remote.
"You're out of time." He said to the elderly man. "From here-on you will make your moves every 20 seconds." The nobleman sat with a smug look on his face, filling his nails with a rather fancy and expensive nail file. "Very well I'm game!"
The old man looked as though he was about to have a panic attack when the door opened behind him. The nobleman maintained his smug look. "Did your substitute arrive?"
The old man gave a relieved laugh as he stood up. "Thank heaven I'm saved!" He said as two teenage boys walked in. "Are things going well at school?"
The nobleman looked at this as if it were a bad joke. "What have we here? School boys?"
I envy you kids today, you have so much time on your hands. Time for regrets. What's your name?"
"Lelouch, Lamperouge."
Lelouch's friend, a teenage boy with blue hair, looked at where the chess pieces were on the board. "Whoa, now wait a minute! You can't win this one, it's impossible right?!"
"Rivalz, when do you think we would have to leave, in order to make our next class?" Lelouch asked. "Uh, twenty minutes if we bust our hump." Rivalz answered.
"Then be sure you drive safely on the way back." Lelouch said, much to Rivalz's surprise as he sat down. "I'll need nine minutes. And by the way, about yesterday?" "Understood sir." The old man said. "We'll discuss it later."
"Nine minutes?" The nobleman questioned. "You only have twenty seconds per move!"
Lelouch picked up the black king. "Enough time for me." "Hmm? You start with the king?" The nobleman then gave an enormous laugh while Lelouch simply smirked.
Luke was walking around as he walked a long distance since he departed from the Falcon and was in a new area Luke was fortunate they managed not to get the Falcon damaged by many trees and were able to have so many trees hanging over the body of the Falcon shielding it away from any unfriendly eyes or patrols that may report—they hope it would last for a while. As much time as they needed in order to get off this planet. Luke smiled just then grabbed out his Comlink as Leia said from it
"How's it going on your end Luke?" Luke smiled and said "it's a really nice place, it reminds me of Yavin 4 before the Empire found it..."
Leia softly smiled and said to herself "If only you had seen the forests on Alderaan, Luke it was a wonderful place." Luke then said snapping Leia out of it "So anything on your end what did you discover?"
Leia then said "Well the place I'm taking a look is not as busy as Coruscant," Leia said, remembering the capital planet of the Empire she had visited when she was a teen. "I still wonder..."
Artoo beeped as Leia and Threepio came over to the droid as they saw they were caught off guard when coming from the other street... was something they didn't imagine.
It looked like an autonomous being. A being that was about the size of a house. It looked like a humanoid battle droid. It was mostly white, with some police colours in some areas. It was bulky in some areas, yet it had legs that rolled on the ground; arms that carried a large gun, and a head that looked like that of a drone. On its back looked to be a box compartment, either it was its energy source, or it was...
Leia and Threepio just couldn't take their eyes off the Knightmare as it rolled smoothly through the street till it turned to the next one. People around didn't seem deterred by the presence of it and still went about their business. "Oh my goodness I have never seen a battle droid do that!" Leia said in wonder at their military as she said to Link though her comlink
"I think Artoo found that in their military they have these big robots that are almost like Battle droids!" Just then a man came over and said
"Actually they are called Knightmares, they're the best in all of Britannia!" Leia then said "Oh I see thank you sir!" The man leaves as Leia said to the comlink
"Luke, did you get that?" Luke nodded on his end hearing what the this Knightmare could until he sees someone in trouble "See you back at the Falcon, I think someone's in trouble!"
Luke then pushes the man wearing noble clothes back as he was hurting the shoe polisher as the noble said angry at Luke
"Hey!" He pointed at the young man still cowering on the ground. "He's a pathetic-minded Eleven who promised to give me a good shoe-shine, but in fact he is as clumsy with his work, just like all the numbers!" "He's an innocent man, just leave him be!" Luke pushes the man back feeling bit threatened as he ran away as Luke came over to the poor man offering a hand as he takes the hand as he was back on his feet
"Thank you, I have never seen someone from Britannia actually defend me!" "Then do you want me to help you get home," Luke said as he took his arm.
"No, please..." The young man said, now worried. "It's... it's not proper for Britannians helping an Eleven..." Luke shook his head
"It doesn't matter. He kicked you pretty hard, and I doubt you could go home in this state. It would be cruel not to help." Luke began to help the man
As several Britannian citizens looked in shock at the kind act, some of them started whispering in awe. Others looked in complete spite for what Luke was doing.
"Which way is your home?" Luke asked.
"Uh..." The Eleven looked down a bit. "It's in... the Shinjuku Ghetto." Luke nodded as they headed off to the location
Elsewhere On the highway, the stolen truck was being driven by Nagata, while next to him in the passenger's seat was Kallen. Both of them wore the disguises of workers, though it didn't seem to matter anymore now that the damn Britannians were on their tail.
"Perfect!" Nagata exclaimed. "After all this time we finally steal this damn thing, it's all because Tamaki couldn't stick to Ohgi's plan now we have a problem!"
The nobleman dropped his nail file as his jaw hung in utter disbelief. He had lost his game. Lelouch had already called Checkmate and had left with Rivalz; the two were already in the building's lobby.
"I just love playing against the nobility!" Rivalz chuckled. "When they lose they always pay out of pride! By the way, 8 minutes and 32 seconds is a new record!"
"He also didn't have much time to move either." Lelouch said in a bored tone as if not pleased with it. "And as opponents go, the nobles are tepid. They're just over-privileged parasites, that's all."
"Well then, why don't you challenge one of the Elevens?" Rivalz suggested as he walked backwards out the main door. "They're nothing like us Britannians!"
Lelouch chuckles as he looks at his friend "Maybe I do, maybe I don't, you still on about your strange theory before we got here this morning?"
Rivalz said with a grin "Well duh of course I am buddy!"
Flashback Ashfold Academy
"Hey I'm here!" Lelouch said as he entered a classroom there he saw the rest of the student council
"Hi Lulu, so where's Rivalz?" Shirley Fenette asked. Shirley was a bright teen with green eyes and long orange hair that went to the waist. She was also a member of the Ashford Swimming Team.
"Wait Rivalz Isn't here yet?" Lelouch asked, a bit baffled at the situation at the moment.
"We'd assume he would be with you, like always," Milly Ashford said to him.
Milly was a slender blonde with blue eyes. As to the matter of her last name, Milly was not only the president of the student council, but she was also the granddaughter to the principal of Ashford Academy: The former Lord Ashford.
The final girl was Nina Einstein. Nina was a girl with dark hair in pigtails and grey eyes behind glasses. The girl was not as open as Milly or Shirley, and she was most often quiet and would keep to herself most times.
"Strange," Lelouch said as he went to take his seat at the table with them. "I thought he was eager to share something since first period."
"Oh, that Rivalz..." Shirley sighed. "He always has something."
"Well, no point waiting around," Milly said. "We need to get down to business!"
She slammed her hand down on the table, catching their attention, even frightening Nina.
"It is time for us to begin on the inevitable: Planning the School Festival!"
That was right. One of the responsibilities of the Ashford Academy Student Council was to prepare for the festival that occurred at the school annually.
"Last year as I recollected," Nina who finally decided to speak up as she twiddled her fingers. "We almost went overboard with the budget."
"That's why we have to do better this time!" Milly said proudly.
"Well, first we need to figure out something unique to this year." Shirley said as she pulled an Ipad and opened the photos that detailed photos taken of the past festivals.
One showed the whole student council in chef's clothes, hats, aprons and all.
One showed Lelouch, Shirley and Nunnally in the kitchen cooking. Lelouch let Nunnally taste the pudding on the spoon, while behind them Shirley was having trouble with a fire, due to the look of comic horror on her face.
Another slide showed the Halloween Costume Party. The photo showed Lelouch in a Count Dracula costume as he danced with Milly, who wore a purple bat costume. Rivalz, who was wearing a shabby ghost costume, had a comically irritated jealous look on his face upon seeing them together; he attempted to smack Lelouch from behind with a broom, but was stopped by a scared Nina whose glasses were flying off her face and Shirley.
Lelouch closed his eyes, amused by the whacky times they all had back then. "Heh, well I hope whatever we may plan won't overstep our budget. Could be quite disastrous to be in debt to someone. Unless we know a way to gain more funds." "Oh, please, Lulu..." Shirley sighed as she shook her head. "Don't go there."
"What are you talking about?" Lelouch asked. "You know what I mean!" Shirley exclaimed as she glared at Lelouch. "You're still gambling aren't you!" She pointed a finger at him.
"You were supposed to have stopped two weeks ago! It's a real bad habit! All the times you spent gambling you could have used to keep up with your grades! I mean imagine if one of these days you lose, and you'll find yourself in debt?!"
Milly made a teasing smirk. "Hmm, I don't know Shirley, I don't recall Lelouch ever losing a single bet. Although, Lelouch, perhaps that can help with our..."
"Not you too! Madame Pres!" Shirley said with horror. "First you and now Rivalz." She turned back to Lelouch. "Rivalz has been so lenient in driving you down to those dens! If you are always bribing him, then that is just dirty! And just where is he..."
"HEY GUYS SORRY FOR RUNNING LATE JUST HAD TO FIND THE BLASTED THING!" Everyone looked in surprise to see Rivalz coming in pulling a mini tv into the room "You're late, you know." Milly said with a stern look. "Again." "Yeah, sorry about that boss lady," Rivalz rubbed the back of his head, a little embarrassed. "But I was just with the other guys talking about something..."
"Well, Rivalz," Shirley said. "You better sit down and hear what I have to say to you and-""
"No, no, no! There's something you have to see first!" Rivalz interrupted her as he said excitedly to the group as he pulled out his mini-tv and sat down, and everyone gathered around. "This was taken around last night!" Rivalz then turns the mini-tv he brought into the room to a news report with a news lady standing beside an image of the night with some sort of shape as it appeared to be blurry.
"It was around the time of midnight, when reports showed the military trying to intercept a strange unidentified aircraft approaching the Tokyo Settlement. Warning shots were fired yet the aircraft eluded capture and somehow vanished as it ascended into the night sky."
Lelouch had a confused on his face wondering what it meant "The military continued to sweep the area in an attempt to spot the aircraft again but to no avail on finding it. Theories have been brought that the aircraft was of foreign craft, used for espionage. There is no reason to believe it could not have hailed from either the EU or the Chinese Federation. Investigation into this matter is still ongoing."
With that Rivalz paused the video. "Can you guys believe this?!" The teen said ecstatically. "Believe what you're even talking about?" Milly said, although that didn't mean everyone in the room started pondering this.
"You... you guys think it could be a spy ship?" Shirley said, looking concerned. "From one of the other superpowers." That caused Nina to shudder with fear. Lelouch almost narrowed his eyes at this.
"No!" Rivalz said. "I mean evidence! It's like those UFO's I showed you before! And this just happened last night! Maybe it could mean—"
"Oh, Rivalz, you goof!" Shirley slapped his shoulder playfully. "Aliens? Again?" That's the thing you were so excited to tell us about after class?! When are you ever going to grow up?"
"Say..." Milly said, with a smile forming on her face while a lightbulb simultaneously lit up above her head "That's not a bad idea." "Huh?" Everyone turned at Milly, baffled.
"What's not a bad idea, Pres?" Nina asked as she adjusted her glasses. "Aliens!" Milly smiled brightly. "That could be good for our festival!"
Shirley's eyes turned to white circles. "Oh, come on!" "You..." Rivalz said, starting to smile. "You think so, Pres? You like the idea..."
"Yeah!" Milly said. "But I guess it would depend on the budget. That is if space themes don't require too much..."
Lelouch shook his head. There Milly goes again. Even with the simplest thing, Milly can turn it into a grand plan for success. Yet, while Lelouch would laugh, he still narrowed his eyes again at the Rivalz's tablet, the paused picture of the unidentified aircraft. Why was he having this... this... strange feeling. And this happened last night? Also, it disappeared. Could it be possible by a remote scale... that it was espionage? From whom... the EU... or the Chinese Federation?
Why was he thinking of this? It could only be... just a rumour spread by Britain.
Flashback ends
In another part of the city after getting the person to his friend, Luke caught sight of the news report and grimaced at it.
"How cruel. Innocent people are getting caught up in this?"
"Those horrible Elevens..."
"They'll pay for this..."
Luke grimaced even more to what the people around were murmuring about the 'Elevens' or to be fair: the Japanese.
The screen switched to the Britannian Insignia.
We apologise for the delay. Now his royal highness, Prince Clovis, third prince of Britannia, will address the nation."
The screen switches to show Clovis la Britannia standing in front of his throne and wearing his regal clothing with a white cape over his shoulders.
Rivalz didn't notice the way Lelouch narrowed his eyes at the sight of the Viceroy.
"To all my imperial subjects, including of course the many cooperative Elevens..."
"JAPANESE!" The red-haired girl corrected in anger at the image of Prince Clovis on the radio feeling so frustrated . "We're Japanese! Not Elevens, you royal prick!"
"Who choose to serve the empire of Britannia."
Choose to serve? Luke glared at the image of the prince. They didn't choose to serve... They were invaded and forced to live in ghettos while the elites treated them like dirt. Even worse than dirt. Was this prince really for real?
"Do you not see my pain?!" Clovis made a clench of his hand and held it to his heart. "My heart was ripped from my chest only to have it torn apart! The remnants are filled with rage and sadness!"
Okay, now he was acting pathetic. Luke thought to scoff at the image. Anyone can see how pathetic the prince was doing it. As if the man truly felt any remorse for those who had died.
"However, as ruler of Area 11, I will not tolerate terrorism of any kind! Because the battle we fight is a righteous one! A virtuous battle to protect the well being of one and all! Now then everyone, I would like you all to join me in observance of the eight who died for justice in the name of duty." Clovis finished.
"A moment of silence please."
Chewie roared in outrage right as Leia and the two droids walked back onto the Falcon as Han was also listening
"Because the rest were not Britannian," Han said, and he shook his head at the image of Prince Clovis. "This Prince and his empire seem to show concern only for their own."
"While the Elevens are what to them? Garbage?" Leia exclaimed, not forgetting how those Britannians beat on that Eleven, and the ghettos where the Elevens were forced to live in. "They are people just like them! How can they just ignore them like that?"
"Well, perhaps your highness would like to march to pretty boy majesty and give him a thing or two?" Han asked blatantly. "Just say you're a princess... from another galaxy."
Leia sighed. "Han... not now..." "All right, Leia sorry..." Han simply shrugged.
Chewie roared.
"What would Luke think of this?" Han said, responding to his first mate and best friend. "Sulking I bet, I still can't believe he went out without telling us."
""Let's just hope he's doing alright and what he found on his side of the playing field."
Lelouch finished paying the parking fee for the slot where Rivalz's motorcycle was parked.
"Well, aren't you gonna join in?" Rivalz said, noticing his friend was not partaking in the moment of silence.
"Aren't you?" Lelouch asked. "Well..." Rivalz chuckled a bit nervously. "It's sort of embarrassing."
"And I agree with you. Besides, spilling tears over those people won't bring them back to life, now, will it?" "Dang, that's dark buddy."
Lelouch looked back at the screen where Clovis was still partaking in the moment of silence. "It's all about self-satisfaction. It doesn't matter how hard you try, you can't do it... there's no way you can change the world." For a moment, Lelouch frowned at what he said. If no matter how much he would try... how could the world change for the better... for Nunnally.
Viceroy place
"You were magnificent, your highness," one of the women praised as Clovis stepped down from his throne. "One would have never guessed you were attending a party while doing that." Clovis smiled amusingly at that, as at the same time the tv crew broadcasted his message, his throne room was attended by many noble guests who had come for his merriment.
"Well, the viceroy is the marquis actor of Area 11," Clovis said as two of his manservants went to remove his white cape. "I need to change costumes quickly." For the prince it was just as simple as improvisation for theatre. It was like art. And art was his most beloved subject. "My, you're so self-confident!"
"It's all in the performance." Clovis said as he looked at the members of the media on his left. "Since the media want a charismatic prince—I'll give them one."
"How true!" One middle-aged moustached media member said approvingly. "Prince Clovis, our key purpose in this line of work is to assist your reign in any way we can!"
The only one who didn't buy into this performance was one Diethard Reid standing at the very corner with a folder detailing about the Osaka bombing. The man was in his 30's, was tall with blue eyes and long blonde hair in a ponytail. Unlike the other reporters, this one spared the arrogant prince a disgusted scowl.
"His reign my foot..." He muttered to himself. "Is nothing more than a pathetic sham. No way in hell if he thinks I'm one of those idiots spending the rest of their careers glorifying his fiasco of a..." "Your highness!" General Bartley came running in the room towards Clovis.
"A soldier?" Diethard raised an eyebrow in wonder and in curiosity. "How boorish of you, Bartley." Clovis said, not appreciating Bartley's intrusion.
"I beg your pardon, your highness... my lord..." Bartley then whispered for only the prince to listen as Clovis's eyes widened.
"Not another appearance from him," Diethard said, now ready to walk out of this boorish place. "Hope it's not dreary." Until he suddenly heard
"YOU FOOL!" Diethard turned back at the sound of Clovis' outburst who had slammed his glass into the ground breaking it "The police were informed that it's medical equipment, that's all. If we scramble the army there'll be records..."
"Deploy the Royal Guard!" Clovis demanded, with his face starting to seethe with anger. "The Knightmares as well!"
The Royal Guard? Diethard raised an eyebrow. What reason could make Clovis so angry
Among those in the crowd at the party was a woman and a man wearing armour similar to that of Darth Vader wondering what would cause such a fuss as their helmets shined wondering what this meant
Heading to their prince's command, several soldiers deployed to their respective Knightmares.
Three of them in particular, were certain soldiers of the purist faction: Kewell Soresi, Villetta Nu, and their leader: Margrave Jeremiah Gottwald.
The three of them, along with many others activated their autonomous-being frames to action.
Rivalz drove his motorcycle down the freeway with Lelouch riding in the passenger seat attached to the vehicle.
"That first move you made, why'd you start with the king?" Rivalz asked. "Heh..." Lelouch almost chuckled to his firend. "If the king does not lead, how can he expect his subordinates to follow?"
That made Rivalz confused. "What's with that?" "With what?"
"Do you fantasise about running a major corporation or something?" "No way, ambitions like that will ruin your health," Lelouch said. Ambitions yes... unless it can contribute something greater that would benefit him and Nunnally. If the skills he had can...
HONK! HONK!
Both boys looked behind them in shock as the runaway truck was speeding just right behind them.
"Dah!" Rivalz yelped as he tried to steer out of the way of the vecihile behind him. "WE'RE GONNA DIE!" "You idiot!" The disguised Nagita muttered in annoyance as he steered right to avoid running them over.
"NO! Not that way!" Kallen shouted, but it was too late as the truck drove into a construction zone and ended up crashing into one of the buildings.
Rivalz stopped the motorcycle, and he and Lelouch looked at the crash. "Eh, was that our fault?" Rivalz asked, a bit nervously.
"I don't think so," Lelouch said. To be fair, the driver shouldn't have driven that fast. But still, was the driver all right?
Luke, who was passing by, saw the whole thing, and looked at the crashed truck in shock.
Not far above the chaos, a police aircraft saw the crash as well.
"Control, the target has crashed at the abandoned VO construction site." "The military will take over. General Bartley's Command!" "Him?!"
General Bartley walked down the hall of the palace, with sweat running down his face.
"This is exactly what his highness and I feared would happen! We have to retrieve it at all costs! If That thing falls into the wrong hands..."
Soon, as the dust was clearing out, a faint glow of energy started emanating from the truck. It was noticed not just by Luke but Lelouch as well who was getting out of the sidecar
"The heck was that?!" Luke said shock Both Luke and Lelouch from their separate places, saw the shape of glowing energy briefly take the form of... a person or something... before fading away.
"Was... that... a person?" Luke and Lelouch said in unison "Hey Rivalz come check this out..." Lelouch said calling out to his friend "Hey, over here!" Lelouch looked to the side to see people gathering around to observe the crash, some of them took their phones out to take pictures of it."Whoa, nasty crash!"
"Some accident?" "Drunk driver?" "Maybe somebody should get help?" Lelouch glared at them. Instead of just standing, at least some of them should be going down there to make sure the driver was alright. Until he heard a voice say
"Come on, we've got to at least help him!" Lelouch then sees a young blonde man among the crowd who had exclaimed the situation. "Help them?" Another man. "We better wait for the police to deal with it." "But the driver could be dying, right now!" Luke pointed at the crash. "We need to help them!"
"'We?'" A woman asked. "Who's that? We're not going down there! Better wait for the police to handle all this nonsense..." Luke looked at the people around them and was appalled by most of their apathetic expressions.
"Forget it, I'll deal with it!" He muttered and the Rebel pilot climbed from the side and jumped. "Hey kid! You're going to hurt yourself!" The man yelled, but Luke was already on the ground not listening or careing for what they said.
Lelouch almost smiled as if to see there was at least one person who was willing to risk himself to help those in need, unlike all those other idiots. He didn't know what he saw, but Lelouch felt he needed to see for himself.
"Hey, can you help me out, buddy?" Rivalz asked but found out Lelouch was gone. "Where'd you go?"
Both the man and girl in the front seat were alive, thanks to the airbags; but it still did little to help with the situation they were in now.
Luke was halfway from the truck when he noticed someone catching up behind him. He turned around to see Lelouch stopping right in front of him.
The rebel noticed the uniform and recognized it from Ashfold academy and said "Hey aren't you a student?" Lelouch then said, offended by that, "Yeah, what about it?"
Luke then said asking him "It's nothing! But what are you doing here?"
"I've come to lend a hand. Unlike the ones who are enjoying being on standby," Lelouch looked back with narrowed eyes as the citizens were looking down at them. Who mutter amongst themselves
Luke couldn't agree more. "Well, I couldn't just stand by while someone could be dying right now."
"Mind if I tag along?" Lelouch asked. At that Luke almost smiled. "The more the merrier." With that both young men ran towards the truck.
"Hey!" Lelouch called out. "Are you alright?!" Luke called out, and as he pushed away rubble that was blocking the front door. There had to be an alternative. The rebel saw a ladder and climbed up and got on top of the truck. Lelouch did the same, and when he was about to climb on top, he looked up to see Luke offering his hand.
"Need a lift?" Lelouch was baffled at first by the gesture. He had just met this young man, and he was offering help. He was still a complete stranger to him, and it would be foolish to trust him. But the kind gesture he was giving, it would be rude not to accept—especially when they were trying to help people at the moment.
Lelouch took Luke's hand, and the rebel helped the student on top of the truck.
Meanwhile, since the power-line to the motorbike was cut, Rivalz had no choice but to move it himself.
"Yeah, yeah, I know it's the right thing to do, but I wish the guy would just quit flaunting his pride and give it a rest for a while. There's at least one guy down there, why does that make Lelouch want to jump in?" Lelouch had to play the hero of all times. "Now we're going to be late for school!"
Back in the truck, the redhead got back to her senses. "Nagata... Nagata!"
Luke and Lelouch noticed an opening at the top of the truck. Luke dropped down inside, hoping to get in contact with the drivers in the front seat. Before he could call out—he noticed inside the truck... was some sort of sphere-like machine in front of him.
"What the heck is this?" Luke said, observing the device. "Is something wrong?" Lelouch called out, still on top of the truck. "Are you okay?"
Suddenly, Lelouch felt a ping of feeling course through his head as he heard a voice. "It's you! Finally, I have found my..."
"Wha..." Lelouch realised that wasn't the blonde guy calling him. That was a woman's voice. But who?
Coming back to his senses the truck began to reverse backwards the truck instantly pulled out of the rubble, and it caused Lelouch to tumble inside the truck—right on top of Luke. "Ow!" Luke exclaimed in pain when Lelouch fell flat on him. "Sorry about that!" Lelouch apologised as he got off Luke and was caught off guard by the sphere-like machine in the truck as well. The truck rolled out of the construction site and swerved back on the freeway, with Rivalz looking on in confusion. "So... would you call that a hit and run?"
"What's going on out there? What was that driver doing back there?!" Luke exclaimed
"You'd think they'd stick a ladder on the inside, too." Lelouch said, realising they didn't have an easy way out.
"Yeah, but I don't think it would be safe to jump out when this thing is going so fast!" Luke said. "We need to get the driver to—"
"Stop the vehicle!"
A megaphone voice from outside caught both of their attention.
"Surrender now and you'll get your chance to defend yourself in court!"
"The police?!" Lelouch said, with shock. "Oh, that's not good..." Luke could only facepalm. Three military helicopters shot around the truck as a warning.
"Give up now! Or we'll shoot to kill!" "Now what do we do?!" Nagata grunted as that got intense. "That's the army!"
"Have you forgotten?" The redhead girl removed her hat as if she saw this coming a mile away. "That's what I'm here for!" Luke and Lelouch realised they were in a tight spot and were now behind the sphere device. "No, wonder if the truck sped so easily to crash!" Luke said. "They must have done something big to bug the local authorities off." He looked at the device. Could it be because of this thing? Did they steal it?
"Yeah, but what are we gonna do?" Lelouch asked. "If we jump out, we have the choice of either breaking our necks or getting shot at." Luke then said "Well we're just gonna have to take our chances on what we got!" Luke then remembered something
"Unless!" As he pulled his comlink as Lelouch said looking at it "Ah what's that?" Before Luke could say something
Both of them heard the door open and they both quieted when they saw a redhead girl remove her worker uniform to reveal her suit that matched the colour of her hair. "Can you enter the subway via the Azuma route?" She asked Nagata, who was still at the front.
"Kallen, let's use it here! Why not?!" Nagata called out.
Kallen, huh? Luke thought to himself. "Because that would mean a blood bath!" The now named Kallen said as she climbed up the ladder onto something.
Use what? What is it that would mean a blood bath? Luke thought, not liking what the girl and driver were meaning.
Luke then noticed Lelouch was still staring at the girl. "Hey you okay?" Luke asked the student.
"I... I've seen her before." Lelouch answered. "What?!" Luke said, baffled at this crazy day he was now having.
"Lelouch, come on! Where are you?!" Rivalz called out, still at the construction site, unaware Lelouch was no longer there. "We've gotta get to school!"
"Target is moving from the settlement toward the ghetto!"
"Copy that, corner them!" The helicopter opened fire, until a slash harken shot out from the back of the truck's carrier—and obliterated it—before it retracted back.
"A slash-harken?!" The other pilot said in shock.
Opening at the end of the carrier—revealed a red Glasgow Knightmare piloted by none other than the girl who matched the colour of it in both suit and hair colour.
"What the!" Luke exclaimed in shock as he recognized it. "That's—" "A Knightmare!" The helicopter widened their eyes in shock at the sight of it.
"Crap!" Lelouch said. "These guys are REAL terrorists!" "Do you even know this girl?!" Luke exclaimed. The red Glasgow jumped out of the truck and onto the street, with the gate of the carrier closing behind her.
"You fellas know full well what this badass mother can do!" Kallen said, before she sped her Knightmare in a zigzag to avoid fire and shot another slash-harken at the second helicopter, likewise, destroying it successfully. But before she could go for the last remaining helicopter, a larger aircraft appeared from the smoke and it was carrying Jeremiah Gottwald in his purple Sutherland Knightmare.
"The rest of you back off, I'll take this one, myself." He said to the remaining helicopter, before disengaging his Knightmare from the aircraft and landing right in front of Kallen.
"I can only assume you dug that obsolete relic out of some scrap heap." Kallen tried to fire her slash harken at him, but Jeremiah quickly fired his own to stop it. "An over-the-hill Glasgow is NO match for the Sutherland!" He readied his own equipped automatic machine gun. "Not to mention a filthy Eleven who spurns the compassion of our glorious Emperor!"
He fired and Kallen tried to shield herself using her Knightmare's left arm. "Kallen!" Nagata shouted through the communicator. "We should split up! Both of us can't risk getting killed! Run for it!" Nagita was caught off guard when a second Sutherland jumped on the road in front of him.
"Oh, CRAP!" He swerved to turn left towards the ghetto, unfortunately the Sutherland fired at the front, and Nagata felt a few bullets hit him. The one who had fired inside the Sutherland, was none other than Villetta, who smirked. "Simple-minded Eleven." Kallen tried to activate her slash-harken again, only to realise to her horror that it was stuck. "No way!"
Jeremiah grinned, as he noticed her difficulty. He then went to raise his Knightmare blade high in the air to end her. "Second-hand piece of junk!"
Kallen had no choice, and she blasted her left Glasgow arm off. The detached metal limb rocketed and hit Jeremiah's Sutherland, giving her time to escape from him.
Back in the truck's carrier, Luke quickly turned on his communicator, while Lelouch looked on anxiously.
"Guys, are you there?! Leia? Han?" Luke called out. "Threepio?"
"Threepio?" Lelouch asked. "What kind of name is Threepio?"
"Oh they're friends of mine." Luke answered briefly, before turning back to the communicator. "C'mon!"
Millennium Falcon
Threepio noticed the communicator on the table becoming static, before hearing a familiar voice.
"Hello?! Anyone there!" "Master Luke!" Threepio exclaimed, catching everyone's attention. "Luke?!" Han and Leia said simultaneously, and Chewie barked. "Master Luke!" Threepio spoke through the communicator. "Are you alright, sir?" Leia then said "Luke, where are you? You were supposed to be back here like an hour ago!"
"Master Luke?" Lelouch looked at Luke. Was this guy some sort of nobility? And why did that man's voice on the com sound... echoing?
"Threepio patch me to Leia and Han!" But however it appeared he heard static
"Threepio are you there? Come in Threepio!" Luke yelled again, and then he and Lelouch realised that everything in the truck became darker.
"Luke!" Leia said again through the communicator, but Luke was not answering back. "What happened?" Han asked. Artoo then beeped as he held up his antenna. "Artoo says that the signal to Master Luke's communicator has been lost." Threepio said.
"What?!" Leia and Han both exclaimed in complete worry.
Luke tried again to speak through his communicator to no avail, as Lelouch looked at his phone and realised why.
"Now it explains it," Lelouch said, and Luke looked at him. "There's no cellphone reception. We're out of range." "What?" Luke exclaimed. "Where are we then?" Lelouch looks around and then spoke up knowing the location
"Judging by the darkness and road surface, we must be driving along the old subway lines." "In order to evade the police for sure." Luke said as he grimaced.
"Yeah, they may be heading for an exit somewhere in the ghetto. Which means getting out will still be dangerous, but..." Lelouch held up a walkie-talkie as he gave one to Luke.
"Can that work?" Luke asked looking at it "It could. We can use it to call the military and call for help. Though if we give them a terrorist communicator... oh wait!" Lelouch realised. "What's wrong?" Luke asked.
Dah!" Unsuccessful in trying to find Lelouch, Rivalz had no choice but to push his motorcycle all the way to Ashford Academy by himself on the side of the street. "Some friend!" He grunted. "Leaving me behind like that!"
Ah-ha!" Lloyd Asplund said, as he leaned in to stare at Bartley, making him confused. "What are you doing?" Lloyd smiled. "Looking for a man who blundered his little job, am I right?"
That got on Bartley's nerves. "Why you little...!" Lloyd straightened himself, even as military tanks made their way past them. "You really screwed this one up. Terrorists came along and stole whatever it was that you and Prince Clovis were secretly working on. Retrieving it is simple, but you want to sweep up all of their compatriots in addition: Let the terrorists go and you can find their hideout, too!" He turned around to face Cecile. "Congratulations! Your reasoning was spot on!"
"It was nothing..." Cecile shyly said. "I just thought it was strange." "Okay, that's enough! What is it that the Special Corps wants out of this!" Bartley demanded getting to the point.
"I'm merely saying I'd like to assist with the cleanup." Lloyd responded casually. "To assist?" Bartley asked. What did Asplund want this time?
"Correct, because it's the data I want." Bartley narrowed his eyes. So, that's it. "Excuse me," Cecile asked. "But what in the world have they just stolen anyway?"
Bartley knew he had to think of something quick. "Chemical weapons, in other words: poison gas."
Multiple military aircraft hovered over the ruins that were the Shinjuku Ghetto, and the residents shook in fear as masked soldiers in black and grey descended down the ropes of the craft and on the ground. All the while, they were contacted by the captain of the Royal Guard:
"The terrorists are hiding in the subway system. Your mission is to locate the weapon that they have stolen. Investigate the old subway system that runs through the Eleven-residential district in the Shinjuku Ghetto. Report in the moment you spot them; recovery of the target will be handled by us, the Royal Guard. You people bear the honorary title of Britannians now, but you were born Elevens, therefore the stench of these monkeys ought to be a familiar one. If you want to earn the right to carry arms, then show some results! This is your opportunity to show your loyalty to Britannia!"
Nagata, who was now bleeding in the shoulder and struggling to breathe where Villetta had shot him with her Sutherland gun, kept driving the truck through the deep tunnels of the ghetto, before the truck came to a stop. The tires had stumbled onto a ditch, making the truck impossible to move any further. "We stopped?" Luke said.
"An accident? Or else?" Lelouch said as well. One of the masked soldiers noticed the truck and realised he had found the objective.
"The tire's stuck..." Nagata grunted and went to flip a switch at the dashboard. "Please Ohgi... find me because I don't have much time left..."When he hits the switch, the door to the truck's carrier opened. "That's our exit!" Luke said, seeing the exit.
The masked soldier used his goggles in his mask to spot the sphere machine. He turned on his communicator.
"4-0-4 has spotted the target."
"Rodger that, prepare for recovery!"
The masked man then spotted Luke and Lelouch hiding and made the wrong assumption. "Come on let's get outta here" Lelouch said, seeing the exit.
"Wait!" Luke said as Lelouch looked at him. "What about this device? Why did they steal it? What is it supposed to be?"
Before Lelouch could answer, he turned around to see the mask soldier leaping and made a spinning kick that knocked Lelouch to the ground.
"Hey!" Luke shouted in outrage as he attempted to punch the masked soldier but he dodged some of the attack and then headbutts Luke as the blond hair boy crashed into the wall of the truck The soldier walked and slammed Luke into the wall and said
"That's enough mindless murder for one day!" The masked soldier yelled at him. "Murder?" Luke said, baffled. "But why the hell would we...?" But however the soldier said
"Planning on using poison gas?!" As he lets part of his mask fall to reveal his mouth. "Don't play dumb with me!"
"Get out of him!" Lelouch shouted as the soldier looked at him as Lelouch shoved the soldier aside as the soldier said
"Holy hell!" As they saw Lelouch's face,
Lelouch glared as he came closer into the light. "Mindless murder then why don't you just obliterate Britannia and be done with it already!" "Lelouch take it easy there..." The soldier placed his hands in front as he unmasked himself to reveal the one person Lelouch never thought he would see today, more or less wearing a Britannian uniform.
Luke furrowed his eyes, as the soldier who attacked them... knew... Lelouch.
Lelouch. So, that must be his name. "It's me..." The young man smiled. "Suzaku." Lelouch gasped. The very first one who became his first real friend. The one whose family welcomed them into their home before the invasion. The one who witnessed the vow he made to obliterate Britannia many years ago—upon a setting sun.
"Suzaku?" Lelouch said as he helped his old friend back to his feet Lelouch said, trying to swallow this pill . "You... you became a Britannian soldier?" Luke looked closely at the young soldier. He was... an Eleven... no Japanese... in a Britannain uniform?
"Yeah sorry about that!" Suzaku smiled at Lelouch as he finished the last bit of dirt on his uniform until he looked at Luke and said to Lelouch
"And who is your new friend?" Luke then said trying to be polite he finally found someone that was nice as he looked ready to shake his hand since he hasn't properly introduced to Lelouch or his friend
"My name is-" But however they were suddenly interrupted when a bright light came out of the sphere device near them, and it began to unlock and unfold itself. Luke and Lelouch saw bright lights glowing the same colour of the light they saw earlier right in front of them. Suzaku however, remembered what his officer said that the device was a holder of poison gas. Fearing the worst, Suzaku jumped on Luke and Lelouch and covered their mouths to protect them from the apparent toxic threat.
reveal... something else.
"That..." Luke looked at the silhouette coming into view. "That's not poison gas." Lelouch and Suzaku looked up with widened eyes as well.
The bright light faded... revealing it to be... a woman. "What the..." Lelouch said, not taking his eyes off the woman.
The woman swung her waist-long green hair back; and her golden eyes met with those of the youths as she fell on her back. She was bound in a white straitjacket and had a gag over her mouth.
"That's not poison gas at all!" Luke exclaimed. "It's a girl!"
"What is it, then?" Suzaku asked in confusion. Why would his superior say that it was chemical weapons? What's a woman doing inside a machine?
Somewhere else underground, was Kallen in her red Glasgow, having managed to escape Jeremiah.
"In all the confusion, I left it in the coat." She responded to her communicator.
"It's okay. Glasgow's circuits are usable. So, were we right?"
"Think so," Kallen said. "I bet it's poison gas like intelligence said."
"And Nagata?"
"I don't know," She said, concerned. "But I think he made it underground."
Getting up Luke and Lelouch went to sit up the unconscious gagged girl.
"All that trouble... for a girl?" Luke said. "Why was she in a machine? And why is she strapped like a prisoner?!" He felt anger as to why someone would treat someone like this way, and no doubt the Britannia Empire was behind, seeing how they don't show concern over the well-being of the Eleven population.
"Tell us the truth, Suzaku!" Lelouch said angrily. "Poison gas? This girl?" "Why is she dressed and tied up like this?" Luke said as he glared at Suzaku. "Were you experimenting on her?! Is she some sort of lab rat to you?!"
"I didn't know! I swear!" Suzaku said, genuinely, feeling appalled and confused at the reveal of the woman. "The captain said it was poison gas!"
Luke narrowed his eyes. "Then he is a no-good liar, then." Suddenly a light shined on them, and the three looked behind to see the Royal Guard aiming at them.
"Who dares call me a liar! I am the Captain of the Royal guard!" The captain of the royal guard demanded, before his eyes fell on Suzaku. "You! Stinking monkey. Being an Honorary Britannian will not excuse you!" Luke twitched his eyebrow. Honorary... Britannian?
"But sir!" Suzaku ran up to the captain. "I was told this was poison gas!" "How dare you question orders!" "Oh, no," Luke grimaced, not liking where this was going at all. "I got a bad feeling about this."
Lelouch couldn't agree more. This was bad indeed. "However, in light of your outstanding military achievements, I'm going to be lenient," The captain handed Suzaku a gun. "Private Kururugi, take this—and execute the terrorists!" Lelouch and Luke widened their eyes in shock, and so did Suzaku's.
"But they're not terrorists! They're just civilians who got caught up in all this!"
"You insubordinate little..." The captain twitched his eye in anger. "That's an order! Didn't you swear your loyalty and life to Britannia?!"
That made Suzaku look down. "Yes... but... but... I can't." Luke and Lelouch gasped at what Suzaku said. "What?!" The captain yelled.
"I won't do it. I won't shoot unarmed civilians," Suzaku said, as he looked at Luke and Lelouch, with a faint smile on his face. "I can't follow your orders, sir."
Luke was simply amazed. This soldier attacked him moments ago... and now he was disobeying an order because it was wrong to shoot those unarmed. Luke could tell this young man went by the book and must be a really good friend to Lelouch.
"Very well then..." The captain said, before without a moment of hesitation—shot Suzaku in the back. "NO!" Luke yelled in horror. "SUZAKU!" Lelouch screamed at the sight of his friend falling to the ground. After seven long years, he had just reunited with him and now he was dead.
"Well, boys..." The captain smirked sadistically at Luke and Lelouch.
"Just not your day isn't it." He gestured to his soldiers. "Collect the girl, after you've secured her—kill them!" "Yes, my lord!" The soldiers obediently all said.
Luke glared at the captain with burning hate. He killed one of his own soldiers without a second thought, and now they were going to take the girl and kill both him and Lelouch. Not on his watch... the rebel moved his hand underneath his jacket to his belt—where his father's lightsaber was hanging.
Back in the truck, Nagata realised he was not going to make it as he had lost a lot of blood. With the Britannians now here, there was one last option for him to do...
"Death to... Britannia..." He looked one more time at the photo of him with his wife and baby boy, before going to flick a red switch. "Long live... Japan..."
He flicked the switch.
BOOM!
G1 Base
"They got away?!" Bartley exclaimed as he communicated with the Royal Guard Captain, as he, and other officials were in Prince Clovis' personal purple transport—that was making its way into Shinjuku Ghetto. "And you call yourselves the Royal Guard?!"
"Uh... forgive me my lord! The blast was mainly directed upwards but the..."
"Why the hell did you think I only told you people about this?!"
"W-We'll continue the investigation!" The captain said before cutting off.
Clovis himself sat on a throne not far from Bartley and the others. "The plan has moved forward to the next phase."
"But... your highness!" Bartley said.
"If knowledge of her gets out—I'll be disinherited!" Clovis said, if worse, he'll be more than disinherited. "Tell them back home we are carrying out a planned urban-renewal here." He stood and declared: "As Clovis, Third Prince of the Empire, I command you: Destroy Shinjuku Ghetto! Leave no one alive!"
Shinjuku Ghetto
From Clovis' transport, multiple Knightmares were deployed with one objective: to slaughter everyone in Shinjuku Ghetto either it be man, woman, or child.
Tanks and Knightmares with rocket launchers were on the outskirts, launching long-range missiles into the buildings.
"The enemy is garbage. They can never hope to become even Honorary Britannians. Wipe out every last one of them!" Bartley ordered from the comms.
Stepping into the scene was Jeremiah's Knightmare, who couldn't agree more. "Naturally."
"Supervisor Jeremiah," A soldier contacted Margrave. "General Bartley requests that you take command—"
"Bartley has staff officers," Jeremiah interjected to the soldier. "I haven't had this much fun on the front lines in ages!" With that, his Knightmare raised his gun to start firing.
G1 Base
Back with Clovis, the prince looked pleased as he looked at the table screen from his throne how quickly his forces were tearing through the ghetto. As long as the only casualties were Elevens—he couldn't care less—by this rate they will find the girl and things will be resolved.
"Why are they doing this?!" Luke exclaimed as Lelouch and the green-haired girl ran through the tunnel, which was starting to rumble due to the chaos happening outside. "All this for us?!"
The bound girl tripped and fell. "Are you okay?" Luke said, bending down to help the girl.
"What the hell are you?!" Luke looked to Lelouch who had a very stressed look on his face as he leaned against a wall. "This chaos is your fault, isn't it?!" He yelled at the girl. "Hey, will you at least calm down..." Luke tried.
"YOU EXPECT ME TO CALM DOWN?!" Lelouch screamed at Luke, who fell silent. "Not only that, but Britannia has..." Lelouch put a hand to his face. "They even killed Suzaku!"
Luke looked at the boy in pity, knowing he was hurt at the apparent loss of his friend trying to place a hand on his shoulder "I'm really sorry..."
"YOU DON'T GET TO BE SORRY!" Lelouch yelled again, slapping Luke's hand away and then waved his hand at Luke. "You can't! You wouldn't! You can't understand! You would NEVER understand!" The student looked down in utter despair.
Luke could only look at the student with sympathy, while the girl stared on.
Not here?" Lloyd asked Cecile, as they stood next to a vehicle that held a different sort of Knightmare that was hidden by a tarp. They were right in front of Clovis' transport, where soldiers and tanks were stationed around. "It looks like he's gone to the front lines," Cecile said.
"Even though we brought the Lancelot here?" Lloyd made a frown. "Now what do we do?"Lloyd held up a golden ignition key, with disappointment etched on his face.
"We steamrolled our way in here, but we don't have a someone to use it."
Luke, Lelouch, and the girl crouch near the top of the stairs that led them from underground to what looked like a torn up warehouse.
"Shh..." Luke said. "Wait here till the coast is clear."
They ducked down when they heard gunfire. The same Royal Guard had just gunned down several civilians.
"Report," The Captain who shot Suzaku came in.
"We only found Elevens here, sir."
"You're sure of it? That exit comes out here?" the trooper nodded "Yes, sir. It matches with our map of the old city."
Then came the crying of a little girl, before long the soldiers gunned her down, much to Luke and Lelouch's complete horror.
Why were they doing this? They weren't just looking for them—but they were committing genocide? To what end? Luke thought. All for the girl? Luke cringed. Those... monsters...
"Hello?! Hello?!" Luke and Lelouch looked at Luke's communicator that was on again. "Master Luke, are you alright!"
Oh, no, Threepio! Thought Luke as he went to turn off, but it was too late—the static voice already caught the Royal Guard's attention.
Millennium Falcon
When R2 found the signal of Luke's communicator back, they gathered around to call him back.
"Luke? Luke, are you there come in..." Leia called. Then they heard Luke grunting, along with someone else.
"Luke?" Han asked.
Then a voice responded.
"Who is this?!" The voice of the Royal Guard Captain called through the communicator—and that was enough to tell everyone... that Luke was in trouble.
"What kind of device is this? A communicator?" The captain held the white cylinder in his hand.
"Give that back!" Luke tried to reclaim it only to be butted by the back of the soldier's rifle and shoved against the wall next to Lelouch. The girl looked in horror as she was held by two of the soldiers. "What an appropriate location for two terrorists to meet their ends." The captain said, as he and his men aimed their guns on the two.
"You scum!" Lelouch growled with hate towards the man who killed Suzaku. "Still, you did well for students, after all both of you are Britannians."
"I'm not a Britannian!" Luke wanted to yell at the scar-faced captain but refused not to do it. "However, maybe you can help with one question." The captain held up the comm. "Who were you communicating with? And where is their location? Comply and I'll be lenient with you."
"Never!" Luke growled with eyes of fury. "I'll never tell you anything. You people are the worst kind of people there are!" The captain narrowed his eyes. "Bite your tongue..."
"Why would it matter? You'll still kill us... just like you did to your own soldier back there. You even disregard the lives of these people you gunned down..." Luke gritted his teeth, as he looked behind the soldiers at the bodies of the civilians they had gunned down. "They're Elevens!" The captain laughed. "They are not even worth the dirt underneath my boot. They should have been cleansed off the face of this land years ago—and that would have made things easier for our glorious young generation to take their rightful place here."
"And with all your talk you're a hypocrite," Luke said, and that made the captain's face twitch in anger. "All your talk of Britannia being better than everyone else, you're now ready to kill me and this boy beside me..." He gestured at Lelouch. "Who is a Britannian like yourselves?"
"Pitifully so yes, but he stumbled onto something at the wrong place at the wrong time. And as much as pitiful as it is, I cannot allow him to live. He is a witness, and so are you. And if you're not going to tell me the whereabouts of your conspirators..." The captain clicked his gun. "I think this will convince you." He aimed at Lelouch.
Lelouch closed his eyes—waiting for the inevitable. Luke knew he had to do something. If he could... use the force then perhaps maybe... he can at least...
"HE MUSTN'T DIE!" The girl shouted as ran in front of Luke and Lelouch went and the captain fired the gun.
BANG!
The girl stopped them from getting hit, but in the process—the bullet impacted her forehead instead. When she had moved, the bangs on her forehead moved to reveal a red mark on it. The mark looked like a bird with wings stretching out—ready to fly.
The girl fell to the ground dead.
"NO!" Luke roared in rage and made a dash toward the captain, but the captain shot him in the arm as the bulllet shot though his arm, and Luke cried out in pain before stumbling back.
"Hmphf!" The captain looked in disappointment at the girl's corpse. "Our orders were to bring her back alive if possible. Oh, well, nothing can be done about it now. We'll tell our superiors the Royal Guard found the terrorist hideout and wiped them out. Regrettably, the female hostage had already been tortured to death for their pleasure. What do you think, boy?"
Luke glared at the captain, while clutching his arm. "You... you bastard..." Lelouch was on his knees as he stared at the girl who gave her life to save him and the other man. Now she is dead... just like Suzaku... and in a matter of time so will he and this other boy.
"How can this be happening? First Suzaku is killed... now this girl... and now this guy and me? Before I had a chance to do a single thing with my life... for...?"
He saw an image of Nunnally in her wheelchair, surrounded by a beautiful garden full of flowers, and she had a smile on her face.
"What will happen when I don't come back home. What will happen when she realises she is all alone in the world?! It's gone in a heartbeat... Nunnally!"
Suddenly, the unexpected happened—his wrist was caught—by the girl.
And then everything around Lelouch flashed.
Lelouch felt his body floating into a sort of void. Gone was the warehouse, the royal guard, the blonde guy, and the dead girl. Soon, the nothingness around him was filled with many spinning colours circling around him.
"Wh-What?" Lelouch gasped. He didn't understand what the hell was happening all around him. It... it was like something you would see in a dream. Yet however it felt more real than a hallucination.
Before him amazed him—what looked to be two galaxies next to each other; each one spinning with stars, cosmos, and star systems revolving around each other. Was one of the galaxies... his? And the other? Staring back at him... if only for a second... Lelouch thought he saw... a wolf as it howled.
A series of images then flickered through him. One where it showed many young people in religious-like clothing and had the same mark on their foreheads like the girl.
Another similar image showed many children in robes of brown and white. What made Lelouch baffled was some of the children... were even human. Some had different coloured skin. Some had horns. Multiple eyes. They were holding in their hands strange metal cylinders. Who were they?
"Reach out. Sense the Force around you. Use your feelings, you must." There came an elderly voice, sounding so ancient, yet almost so caring.
Then the void around then transformed... and Lelouch saw... many things...
Lands... cities...
And even strange birds chirping as it echoed
A city over chaotic ocean, and storms raining all around. A beautiful green land filled with green plains, lakes, waterfalls, and light blue sky.
A hot desert, and on the horizon were... twin suns? Then there was a city. A city... floating in the clouds.
Then... somehow... Lelouch felt a dark aura approaching him, and it started to overturn the previous light aura he had been experiencing.
"At last, we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last, we will have revenge." Lelouch shuddered at the sound of this new voice. Unlike the others, this one was filled with bloodlust, anticipation and malice.
And then... there came another voice... with even more foreboding... and evil...
"Wipe them out... all of them."
Lelouch shuddered at the sound of the sinster like voice. He then found himself in a dark hallway. Its walls were made of metal and stylized, as if the place was an airship or factory, but... it looked so... advanced.
He looked to be alone... in the vast hallway...
Then... he heard something.
It was the sound... of someone's breathing. A very inhumane breathing.
"NO NO!" And then came a scream Lelouch turned around at the source of agony, and saw a robed woman cry out in pain. The student's eyes widened in shock at seeing a blazing crimson blade protruding through her chest. The woman was released from the blade and fell to the floor—next to the countless corpses around some were human looking others alien all dead
Lelouch gasped in horror seeing all of them dead... right at his feet as he took steps back seeing this atrocity
The student then lifted his head—at the wielder of the crimson blade. Both his shock and horror were indescribable on setting sight for the first time—at the masked man. A monster.
A being... clad from head to toe... in black cape and armour. His most malevolent feature... was his cruel-shaped mask—where it produced his hoarse-mechanical breathing.
As it began approaching the student Lelouch started to feel cold as he felt his whole body shaking at this beast. This...Monster whatever this was...And the corpses lying around... Lelouch felt he was looking at the face of death himself! As he struggled to say something
"What the hell is all this?!" Lelouch put his hands to his head. "Who the hell are you?! Is this real or..." Soon, he saw numerous shadows growing behind the monster. As each one became a different one each of their eyes glowing
They stared down at Lelouch with yellow eyes. Their eyes were different from the girl's golden eyes; the robed men's eyes were filled with... malice... and...HATRED
Lelouch could see a few of their faces, and he shuddered at how different they were from each other. One was an elderly man with a beard.
One had pale skin with a mask over only his mouth. One had an almost elongated head and neck. As it laughed as his two arms became four arms
Another person that had red horns similar to a devil snarled at Lelouch. And another that appeared to look like an elderly man... Lelouch couldn't see his face entirely... but he saw his yellow glowing eyes and his evil smile.
"HAHAHAHAH!" Lelouch felt terrified at these people as he then felt the ground underneath him crack as it shattered causing him to scream
"You don't want it to end here... do you?" Lelouch gasped... and it felt like... his falling started to slow.
"That voice... it's... it's... the girl!" He widened his eyes. "But... she's..."
"You appear to have a reason for living. I propose a deal. In exchange for this power, you must agree to make my one wish come true. Accept this contract, and you accept its conditions. While living in the world of humans, you will live unlike any other. A different province, a different time, a different life."
Power? From who? The robed children? Or... the shadows that tried to attack him? What was it?
"The power of the king will condemn you to a life of solitude. Are you prepared for this?"
Then came the image of three people the first one appeared to be an older man wearing brown robes, standing by his sides was a man with brown hair wearing cream robes and a girl with teal hair wearing green and white robes as they stood next to a temple and then he sees two white sillhoutes chatting to each other
"Obi wan promise you will train the boy..." "Yes master!"
Lelouch then heard sees three people two hooded men where one of the hooded men was around his height and a muscular creature as they appeared to be standing next to a machine as he appeared to be creating something in the test tubes as it looked like two children one girl and one boy the man placed a hand on each tube and smiled at them as if he was a proud father
"You are my brilliant creations and together we will rain chaos across not just our galaxy but the entire universe all for the sake of our Regime!"
Lelouch then shouted
"YES I HEREBY ACCEPT YOUR CONTRACT!" His voice echoed as he was now back in reality
Lelouch reopened his eyes and there he saw the girl again smiling he know he could not allow her sacrifice to be all for nothing then he looked to see Luke standing between him and royal hand as he placed his over his left eye
Luke on the other hand felt something that was both unfamiliar and familiar she felt it from the girl and he felt it inside Lelouch just then the student broke the silence
"Tell me how would it feel for someone like a Britannian to despise his own country and live their life?"
"Huh? What kind of question is that are you a radical?!" Luke then said to himself "He almost talks like a rebel but what changed?" Lelouch chuckled and said tilting his head
"What's the matter afraid to shoot your opponents who are unarmed or have you come to realise that: The only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed!"
Luke had a confused look until he sees Lelouch stepping forward while uncovering his left as it flashed the same red symbol that girl"What the hell's happening!?" Luke sees Lelouch waving his hand as he shouts
"Now then! I Lelouch Vi Britannia command you every last one of you DIE!"
The red mark flashed and travels like a bird into the eyes of all the guards who all looked at Lelouch
The scar faced captain once baffled began to laugh like a madman as Luke noticed he had red rings in his eyes "Happily your highness!" He pointed his gun to his neck as did the rest of the soldiers as the captain yelled "FIRE!"
In just a few seconds the royal guard shot themselves resulting their deaths both Luke and Leloulch had shocked looks on their faces on what just happened
Unknown location
Somewhere far away is a Tall Man with Black Hair He has an Elaborate Eye-Patch with two purple crystals hanging from the end and one underneath his Left Eye. His Attire is a Black-and-Gold Suit with the Engraved Symbol of a Sith emblem on it he appeared to be in some chamber meditating then opened yellow eyes as he then said
"Good, the girl has gone and given him the Geass just as foretold it has begun!" He chuckles very sinister like before it became burst of laughter evil laughter throughout the chamber
Back with Luke and Lelouch they saw what the young student had just done
Like then spies his communicator as he picked it up as he heard Leia on the other side
"Luke, are you there?" Luke then said as he picked it up "Yeah I'm here Leia!"
"Luke, what happened, is everything okay?!" Han yelled.
Luke then turned to see Lelouch still in shock.
"I... don't know I'm completely shocked at what happened on my end..." Luke said, and he really meant it. The way Lelouch commanded the soldiers, and especially the wave he made with his hand—reminded him so much of when Ben Kenobi did the mind trick on the stormtroopers back on Tatooine.
The feeling... the feeling in the Force he had been sensing... did it belong to... Lelouch? Was he...Just like him?
Second, he called himself Lelouch vi Britannia. His last name... was Britannia? Like... Prince Clovis? But... but that would mean only one thing...
Lelouch was still not over what he had just done and was then overcome by a moment of truth.
"That was the turning point," Lelouch thought. "Since that day, I've been living a lie—the lie of living. My name too was a lie. My personal history—a lie. Nothing but lies. I was sick to death of a world that couldn't be changed. But even in my lies—I refused to give up into despair. But now... this incredible power—it's mine."
Luke didn't know what Lelouch's next reaction would be—but he didn't expect the student's expression of shock to turn into that of a malevolent smile that almost resembled that of... a demon.
"Well then." Lelouch said before turning his attention to the blonde young man whose name he would soon learn to be known as Luke Skywalker.
It was on that very special day of Awakening—a New Demon had been born.
"Shall we begin the game?"
