The two comrades had just returned from a perilous mission, and they couldn't help but marvel at their sheer survival. The realm they had been thrust into was a nightmarish amalgamation of realities, leaving Hector haunted by the disturbing sights he had witnessed. To say it was a disaster would be an understatement; the place was an abomination. Engaging in their usual ritual, the friends sat down for a meal, attempting to detach themselves from the memories and anguish of their previous mission. This practice was not uncommon among their fellow comrades, but these two had embarked on countless missions that bordered on the brink of insanity. Their lighthearted banter, though peculiar to outsiders, had become a familiar sound in their world.
These two individuals were thrust into countless merged realities, becoming experts in assisting and guiding the inhabitants of these realms. Typically, the goddess would assign a mission to a person and send them off to fulfill it in a specific realm. However, these merged realities were so incredibly dreadful that the goddess couldn't bear to sit idly by and leave everything solely in the hands of these two individuals. It was still astonishing to many that one of them could be considered a servant while simultaneously being the husband of the goddess he served and the father to her numerous children. In fact, a significant number of these children were conceived due to the profound influence they had on Hector and his beloved wife.
They had experienced and assisted in countless variations of what some might consider their own reality. The multitude of cultures, beliefs, and languages no longer surprised them. Depending on the merged reality, they had either fought alongside or against the various major pantheons that existed within the divine realm. It would be an understatement to say that they were familiar with most of the pantheons that could be considered mythological by some. This was especially true in those realities where they had become the actual offspring of the gods, fighting for the survival of their own reality.
"Hiro, the brilliant mind who believed that creating a colossal Gundam was the only defense they needed against relentless Kaiju attacks. They couldn't comprehend why these monstrous creatures were attacking them, who was behind it, or even the reason behind it all. After dealing with that reality, the only rim I want to see is the rim of my glass. I swear, I need a strong drink, if not a few."
Hiro couldn't help but burst into laughter at his friend's remark. He couldn't deny that reality was a complete mess, and it took an immense amount of effort from all three of them to bring some stability to it. However, what bothered Hiro was the nagging feeling that the last few merged realities they had entered were deliberately designed to torment or drive them insane. Most people would view a merged reality as a social experiment, a way to observe the interaction and eventual fusion of two different worlds. But after the recent mission they had just returned from, it was no surprise that Hector was dead serious and Hiro had zero tolerance for any nonsense, especially from inexperienced rookies who believed they could handle the pressure. It was becoming increasingly clear that retirement might be the only option they needed to seriously consider.
As the two pals continued their lively discussion, mulling over the bewildering actions of those two individuals, they couldn't resist questioning the logic and wisdom behind their decisions. Hiro let out a chuckle, placing his now empty mug on the table, and looked at his companion. "Hector, my dear friend, you may try to decipher and grasp their conduct, but it's utterly futile. Those two are a complete mystery. Your own spouse has repeatedly warned you that their motive is to exploit chaos in order to amass power."
Hector wasted no time in pointing out that engaging in such behavior was not only crazy but also cruel. How many innocent lives had been lost or damaged as a result of their actions? Did they have no regard for anyone other than themselves? It was even more appalling than the actions of fictional psychopaths who knowingly harm others for personal gain. The fact that he was being summoned late indicated that the situation they were about to face was far more dire than usual. Even though his wife occasionally experienced delays in challenging cases, there was something about this particular situation that sent a shiver down his spine, which was never a positive sign.
Hector, my friend, let's be honest here. We've already witnessed the worst they are capable of. And when it comes to psychopaths, do I really need to remind you of the infamous Frieza or the notorious Joker? So, why don't you just relax and enjoy this moment of free time? Worrying won't bring any good, my friend." Hector's eyes narrowed as he responded, "Hiro, I understand your point, but let's not underestimate the potential of those two. Ziro and Zector are on a whole different level. Even that mischievous imp from the fifth dimension who takes pleasure in tormenting Superman would seem sane compared to them."
As the two friends engaged in conversation, they were suddenly beckoned by the goddess herself to visit her office. It seemed that she had a crucial mission that only they were capable of handling. Strangely, the onlookers remained silent, yet an overwhelming sense of empathy emanated from them. This was an ominous indication that the destination they were headed towards was far more treacherous than they had ever anticipated.
As the duo strolled towards the workplace, an unusual sight caught their attention. Audrey, one of the secretaries of the goddess, was diligently engrossed in her work. Normally, she would have been delighted to see Hector and warmly greet her father, but today was different. The atmosphere in the goddess' office was suffocating, as if a storm of chaos loomed over them. Every person scurried from one end of the office to another, frantically organizing something that left both friends pondering the nature of the impending tempest.
As they stepped into the room, Hector's mind was consumed by the darkest thoughts imaginable. He made his way towards the familiar chair where he often found solace, and there he saw his wife, engrossed in her work, frantically shuffling through papers on her desk. Gently, he placed his hand on top of hers, causing her to glance up at him. At that moment, she knew that he was already aware that the upcoming mission would be unlike any they had faced before.
"Don't worry, my love. We're in this together," Hector reassured her, his voice filled with warmth and understanding. "Take a deep breath and share with us the details of this mission, and the troubling reality that has left you and everyone else so concerned." His wife's face softened, a fleeting smile crossing her lips before she adopted a grave expression, ready to divulge the weighty information.
"You're absolutely right, my dear husband. Panicking won't solve anything, but I must admit, the current situation is far from ideal. So, let me ask you, my love, have you ever delved into the captivating universe of Code Geass anime?" Hector reluctantly confessed that he had some knowledge about that particular reality. However, he couldn't help but describe it as a nightmarish realm, where millions of lives were lost due to selfish and foolish schemes. A smile crept across her face as she realized that he, too, wouldn't want to be thrust into such a world. Nevertheless, she had to gather the courage to ask him and his friend to embark on this extraordinary journey. This unprecedented event demanded their intervention, as failure to act could lead to a repetition of such calamities.
She had no choice but to reveal the truth to both of them. "Honestly, what unfolded was beyond anyone's imagination. Your wicked counterparts managed to merge parallel realities, which was already dreadful. But what they've done now is even more sinister. You see, just as the King of Britania was about to unite all minds and souls to attain godlike power, those two intervened. They not only stripped the King of his powers but also harnessed the very same ability he sought. Their first act was to bring every myth and legend to life, making gods, devils, monsters, and heroes from various cultures tangible and real. As you can imagine, this unleashed an endless conflict, given the inherent animosity among these pantheons."
She glanced at her husband, who understood her unspoken message and decided to take a seat before she continued, "Not only did they ruin the very essence of what the King and Queen were striving to achieve, but they also obliterated the entire concept of the collective unconscious, leaving it irreparably shattered. To add insult to injury, they tampered with the very tool they used, ensuring that these alterations cannot be undone by anyone, not even me or my fellow gods." Frantically searching for something, she pointed at her staff and added, "You can clearly see the panic it has caused. Their actions held more power and authority than that of a divine being. The worst part is, that I have no choice but to send you and your best friend to fix this reality. If you fail, they will consider it a triumph, and it will become their new modus operandi."
Overwhelmed with emotion, tears streamed down her face as her husband enveloped her in a comforting embrace. The frustration she felt was palpable, knowing that if her husband and his friend failed, the consequences would be catastrophic. Reality itself would be irreparably shattered, and the chaos unleashed would be beyond anyone's ability to mend. What made it even more daunting was the fact that all the myths and legends had come to life in this reality. She couldn't simply pretend to be someone from that world; she would truly become a part of it. It was a daunting task, one that she had never faced before. Deep down, she knew her husband would never want her to venture into this dangerous realm, as it would put her in harm's way. If they could prevent a goddess from wielding her authority to rewrite reality, they might also be able to thwart her from using her powers in other destructive ways. This was Hector's worst nightmare, as it meant that they could alter things to the point where she could be killed.
"You're well aware, just like me, that I absolutely don't want you to be in any kind of danger, not now or ever. That's why I'm willing to venture into that dreadful place, utilizing every skill, power, and knowledge I possess, just to make them deeply regret their actions in that particular reality. Because in that reality, I'll possess the combined strength from all my previous missions, and trust me, they better not be present there, as mercy will no longer be an option. No one gets away with making my wife shed tears without facing the consequences." Hiro reassured her that he would go, mainly because, unlike Hector, he genuinely enjoyed the anime on which this reality was based. For him, it would be an exciting experience to witness how this would alter the course of reality.
As their words reached her ears, she couldn't help but break into a smile and embrace her husband. It was a comforting reminder that no matter how tough things got or how dangerous the situation became, these two individuals were always there for her, unwavering and dependable.
"You both possess an incredible understanding of that reality, and it seems you will be venturing into it before Lelouch and his sister come to believe they witnessed their mother's murder. I may not be able to undo what those two have done, but that doesn't mean I'm powerless to act. I can initiate changes myself. So, the first step I'll take is to ensure that CC and others like her can conceive and have children. However, they will be born mortal unless they inherit the Code Geass from their parents or from someone else. This will grant you access to a multitude of formidable allies, far more potent than ordinary humans. And considering what lies ahead, the two of you will undoubtedly need all the assistance you can muster."
Audrey and her sisters entered the room, echoing their support for their parents. They firmly believed that as a united front, no one could overpower them. Audrey, with a determined look, retrieved an object from her pocket and presented it to her father. She assured him that this capsule held something of immense value, something that would strike fear into their enemies. Intrigued, Hiro inquired about the contents of the capsule, sensing Audrey's unease. He insisted on knowing the exact nature of its contents, not content with vague explanations.
She wasn't thrilled about revealing her surprise, but since Hiro was adamant, she spilled the beans. The surprise? Two fully functional and equipped Gundams, the mobile suits from the Code Geass anime. These units surpassed the mobility and power of the ones in the show by a long shot. In fact, they could easily take down an entire army of those suits without even a scratch. Inspired by the anime they had recently finished watching, she and her sisters managed to create these incredible machines using their father's guidance, a few skills, and some basic materials.
Hiro may find them all as cute as teddy bears, but Hector and his wife were well aware that these girls possessed the combined knowledge and skills of their parents. This meant they had a deep understanding of advanced technology, surpassing even the Gundams in anime. The fact that they stored these incredible creations in a small container called a capsule was a clear indication that their expertise was influenced by various realities from Dragon Ball. And if that wasn't obvious enough, the capsule proudly displayed the Capsule Corp logo on its exterior. Hector couldn't deny his daughters' talent and intelligence, but he couldn't help but worry if their obsession with anime meant he and his wife would never become grandparents.
It was frustrating that they couldn't express their thoughts openly for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it felt too embarrassing to voice it out loud. Secondly, if Hiro caught wind of their sentiments, he would definitely find it amusing and laugh at them. Surprisingly, they weren't panicking or reacting in a frantic manner when they arrived at the office. In fact, they had come specifically to find those two capsules, fully aware of their father and his friend's destination. They had inherited not only their father's skills but also their mother's. With their gamer powers and the ability to connect mentally, they quickly determined the exact whereabouts of their parents. Within seconds, they devised a plan to offer them the much-needed assistance.
Audrey assured her parents that they did need not to worry at all. She confidently declared that she and her siblings would handle everything while their parents dealt with the dreadful situation. Although they wished for their parents' safe return, they also hoped to hear all about the adventures and knowledge gained during this mission. Hiro couldn't help but imagine what would happen if these girls suddenly acquired powers similar to those in Code Geass. The way they carried themselves indicated that they possessed the same abilities as his friend. It wasn't surprising, considering they were his daughters. However, if they were to gain the power of Code Geass after this mission, Hiro pondered how it would impact their lives.
Hector expressed his gratitude to his daughters for their invaluable assistance in preparing for the upcoming mission, assuring them that they would safely return and need not fret. His wife was astounded by the meticulous planning involved in accomplishing this feat within a limited timeframe. Drawing inspiration from their previous experiences with Gundams, they tailored the new ones to suit Hiro's piloting skills, enhancing them to withstand the challenges that awaited all three of them.
Hiro's curiosity was piqued as he noticed there were only two capsules. He couldn't help but wonder why. Unable to contain his inquisitiveness, he voiced his question aloud. One of the daughters let out a giggle and proceeded to explain that her mother's Knightmare was actually stored within her father's capsule. They were an unstoppable duo, always fighting side by side against their adversaries. It made perfect sense for them to share the same capsule. Being a massive fan of mechs, Hiro's excitement overflowed and he couldn't resist asking about the three Knightmares they had prepared. Audrey, eager to divulge the details, stepped forward. "Well, my dad's Knightmare is based on the one from Gundam Seed, the ultimate model of the Strike. Yours, Hiro, takes inspiration from the Knightmare in Gundam Double O, the very same one used by the main protagonist. And as for Mom's Knightmare, it's based on the one from the G Gundam Series, named Diana. However, it has been modified to showcase Mom's extraordinary magical abilities."
Hiro couldn't help but be astounded by how much they had accomplished in such a short span of time. One of the daughters muttered that it wasn't really that astonishing since they could utilize shadow clones without any limitations or costs. She seemed visibly embarrassed by Hiro's comment about her and her sisters. "You're talking to the guy who once exploited that ability to the fullest, so I'm definitely not going to scold you for doing the same. However, what I was referring to was something different. It's one thing for the clones to handle most of the work, but for each of you to possess such skill in creating them and even programming their operating systems, that's what truly impresses me. You lot might just be the most talented Gundamsmiths I've ever encountered, and that includes the very first one who was hailed as a legend—the pilot of the White Devil."
Hiro couldn't help but smile when one of the daughters asked if he had really met Amuro Ray and his wife Sayla. "Oh, absolutely," he replied enthusiastically. "Those two not only survived the one-year war, but they also ended up getting married. Years later, Amuro became the head of Gundam development, while Sayla, who had three daughters, became the instructor for new pilots. Let me tell you, everyone feared her because she could be as brutal as she was sweet. Amuro, on the other hand, was never one to disobey or argue with his wife. Some even said he was truly henpecked or whipped." One of the daughters chimed in, saying that Sayla sounded a lot like their mother. Hiro nodded in agreement and added, "And you know what? Your father was whipped too. He always made sure his first priority was to make your beloved mother happy. There's an old saying that keeping the wife happy is the key to a happy home life."
Hector couldn't deny it, no matter how much he wished he could. The reasons he had were just scratching the surface. He loved his wife and children deeply, and there was no point in hiding something so obvious to anyone who laid eyes on them. "Girls, you should know that I would never let anyone harm your mother. It would take more than two delusional fools with grandiose dreams of godhood to even come close to challenging us. I truly appreciate all the hard work and dedication you put into this for our family." His daughters couldn't help but smile, feeling an overwhelming sense of joy hearing their father's words.
Hector and his wife dedicated several hours to address their daughters' concerns and understand why they had to take certain actions. However, this did not bring any joy to their daughters. The truth is, the world of Code Geass was already chaotic, but introducing various mythologies only made it worse. Those foolish individuals who merged myths with reality brought forth countless conflicting ideals, beliefs, and individuals who despised one another. It was like stirring a beehive, except they also added wasps and other dangerous creatures to witness the destruction they could cause to the very essence of that reality.
Both Hector and Hiro were well aware of the consequences that came with their actions. They understood that their malevolent counterparts orchestrated the chaos and destruction in order to harness the remaining power. It was a twisted and sickening scheme, but their obsession with attaining godlike abilities drove them to commit such heinous acts. They were ruthless, merciless, and devoid of any compassion. However, amidst their wickedness, they shared an inexplicable bond of loyalty towards each other. These despicable individuals were capable of betraying anyone else, but their allegiance to one another remained unbreakable.
Any effort to make one of them turn against the other was completely pointless. The goddess couldn't help but burst into laughter every time this idea was mentioned. She questioned them, asking if they would ever contemplate betraying each other. Hiro and Hector exchanged astonished glances and firmly declared that such a thought would never cross their minds. This response prompted her to remark that while they may be wicked and corrupt, they were still true to themselves deep down. If they were unwilling to betray each other, it was highly unlikely that these two would ever consider such an act either.
"Is it terrible that deep down, I find myself wishing that my two arch-nemeses would just eliminate each other and spare me the agony? These two troublemakers have caused endless chaos, forcing us to clean up their mess in numerous alternate realities. These realities should have been harmonious and joyful, even in the ones designed to entertain fans of horror and darkness."
She came to the conclusion that the situation was going nowhere, prompting her to take matters into her own hands. She revealed to them that they would both be reborn as the two main characters from the Code Geass series. Hiro would assume the role of Lelouch Li Britannia, while Hector would become Suzaku Kururugi. This meant that they would eventually have to feign opposition towards each other and face the challenges posed by mythical creatures and gods. Together, they would navigate through the numerous problems caused by the actions of these individuals.
Amidst a world consumed by distress and hostility, the notion of establishing harmony appears deceptively effortless. Yet, what distinguishes this endeavor from the myriad of others we have undertaken? Hiro, driven by a desire for discernment, adamantly sought to comprehend the distinctive facets of this reality. He firmly believed that being aware of these truths would serve as a compass in devising the most effective strategy to confront the task before them. With a gentle smile directed at her spouse, the goddess resolved to respond to her husband's friend's inquiry.
"During our numerous missions, I have assumed the guise of various women from different realities. Whether it was a woman from the same reality or one who crossed over into it, I was never able to reveal my true form. Consequently, I appeared as different individuals, often adopting the name Nico Robin. However, this time things will be distinct. Mythology is not mere fiction; it is a tangible reality you are about to enter. Gods, devils, monsters, and demigods are actual beings, real people. Therefore, I will have to do something unprecedented if I am to assist both of you. I will be compelled to reveal my true form, as it seems I exist in that reality. Despite being overlooked by many, I am a goddess of the Egyptian Pantheon, and that is one aspect that sets me apart."
She leaned back, taking a moment to unwind before delving into the topic. With a relaxed demeanor, she began to explain that the Knightmares in this alternate reality were drastically distinct, all thanks to the incorporation of myths and legends. This inclusion meant that the materials from those mythical tales existed as well. Consequently, their technology and understanding of various subjects surpassed that of the original Code Geass series by leaps and bounds. In this reality, magic and other mystical knowledge were not only commonplace but also widely known.
"If you're curious about the differences, let me tell you, the very fabric of this universe is so intricately intertwined that it has transformed everything into something barely recognizable. And to complicate matters further, this means that other goddesses who are aware of my marriage would be after my husband here. So, yes, Hiro, things are indeed different, and many of these changes don't exactly bring me joy.""
