Toa Solaric: How is everyone doing? Welcome back to another of my Realm of Dreams and I'm here to give life to another one-shot. This is another non-KR crossover which I will tell you ahead. It is another crossover fic with Persona 5 game.
I don't own either Code Geass or Persona 5.
Persona: Phantom Zero
There in front of them is none other than Emperor of Britannia Charles zi Britannia donned in his noble clothing. But what is different about him is that his eyes are yellow and surrounded in shadow like aura.
"So you were alive after all…my wayward son and daughters. I thought Kururugi would've finished you off like he was told…but in the end he was weak." Shadow Charles sneered, looking down at them.
"So you killed him…" The former pink haired princess said, glaring intensely at her former father through her mask. "How dare you…!"
"That fool was nothing more than a mere dog ever since he killed his own father thinking that he can save his own country. He couldn't see through Britannia's true colors and never once looked outside the box. He thought that by working hard through the system he could change something, and get Japan back. That is why he was too easy to manipulate as a tool, a mindless puppet to do my bidding as I help strengthen his power for my own reasons." Shadow Charles smirked. "I intended to dispose of him when he was no longer useful, so he wouldn't pose a threat in my perfect world."
"I knew it… you thought of a way to crush those who might go behind your back in this so called perfect world." Lelouch said with a frown. This is one of the reasons why he cannot stand him.
"Why would you care for a pathetic fool?" Shadow Charles asked. "After all, you never set foot on Area 11 like I intend for you and yet you choose to ran away straight to E.U."
"It's true. We never went there like you intended as we never had any intent on being your pawns. I admit that Kururugi is a worthy adversary though a bit naïve. However, he was also a victim of this bloodshed, sacrificial, cruel world!" Lelouch said.
"I understand what it is like when watching those being slewed… even if it is my own family." Akito stated coldly.
"You invaded Japan and killed many lives including my family for your selfish plan!" Ayano snapped angrily. "You're than any criminal we come across!"
"Sacrifices are needed for the great reform of humanity. The weak perish so the strong strive forward that is the rule of Britannia." Shadow Charles said. "Your hands aren't clean either. Even though you have this so called Change of Heart ability, your hands aren't clean from the death to take to reach here."
"I won't deny that our path isn't perfect. After all, to change the world means that sometimes you have to get your hands dirty." Lelouch said with a smirk. "Now we are here, you are going to answer our questions. What is this project you've been working on that you'd willing sacrifice your own family and everyone else to proceed to it? Why did you let VV, who was also our own uncle, be the one to kill our mother and why didn't you do anything about it!?"
"And why was it necessary for you to make me blind in the first place!" Nunnally added with furious tone, anger upon her face, not feeling happy that she was made blind by her own father.
"Silence, you two!" Shadow Charles snapped, his voice echoing through the area. "Even though you two are mature, you still are blind as bats. Marianne appeared as Anya after she came to me and revealed that she used her Geass upon her murdering by my brother. He acted out of jealously and wasn't thinking of the plan. Our pact was to rid the world of lies and my brother broke that promise when he lied about Marianne's death. So I had to do most of the planning myself, making sure you kids are safe from him and hide her real body away. I knew I couldn't keep you in the palace because VV would want to kill you as well. When you renounced your claim to the throne, I was glad because I had a perfect excuse of getting you two of the country and you were meant to be under Kururugi's care." Shadow Charles explained.
"So you abandoned us… to keep us safe?" Lelouch's face was now filled with anger, "You expect me to believe that you still cared after sending us away from our home and started a war on a country that you were planning for us to be there!? We would have died there!"
"The Ragnarok Junction could have brought you back if you died." Shadow Charles interjected. "You think I wouldn't have a backup plan if something were to happen to you? But I admit that you outsmarted me by disposing the plane and making everyone else thinking you died. Turning your own siblings against each other by creating distrust between them. Don't you think how unfair it was for your siblings to commit the act to save themselves, Euphemia?" he asked his other daughter.
"I won't deny how it was hurtful…" The former pink haired princess responded before a serious expression appeared on her face. "But we did cruel things as…none of us supporting Lelocuh and Nunnally or standing with Lelouch against you. That is what I am going to continue to do." she said with resolve.
"In the end, you don't care about what happens to your children if they're dead or alive." Jeremiah concluded with bitterness.
"…How selfish of you. You don't care about your own children or feel responsible for the countless lives that died for your asinine plan!" Akito said, cold.
"So everything was for your plan and you were willing to let us die, are so selfish, father." Nunnally angrily said.
"Our plan is coming to a close…why don't you join me? With my plan a success, you won't have to fight anymore and be reunited with those who lost in the conflict…" Shadow Charles offered to them.
"What do you think of this, Zero?" Lelouch looks back at the eyes of his longtime friend and partner Leila, who donned her red panther like mask. "Are you going to accept this?" she asked in low voice.
Lelouch then look at his two sisters, Akito, Morgana, and Jeremiah as they all wait for his decision. The day when he thought he lost everything but was also when he and his sister had gained something new in the life of EU.
The masked Phantom leader then looks at the Shadow manifestation of his father.
"Take your own offer and shove it up your ass," Lelouch snapped angrily as the Shadow Charles looks surprised. "I reject you and your twisted reality!"
This isn't what the Emperor of Britannia would expect.
Lelouch continued, "Why do people lie? It isn't only when they struggle against each other, but they also seek something." He said. "You want a world without change, how stagnant. You can hardly call it life, the same as a world of memories, just a world that's closed and completed, that is a place I wouldn't want to live in. A place that people cannot thrive to think for the future. We won't just take Britannia, but the rest of the world from people like you!"
"Then what about your mother? Won't you be happier to see her once again? Isn't that what you were fighting for?" Shadow Charles questioned serious.
"If mother thought the same as you… then you really don't truly care about what happens to both of us about us in the end!" Lelouch snapped.
"You truly believe in your heart that what you're doing would benefit the world and the people, however forcing your will onto other is nothing more than an act of evil." Leila said, cold.
"In time, the people will come to accept it." Shadow Charles said with angry expression.
"That time will never come!" Lelouch countered, "Only one thing is undeniably true, Nunnally and I now understand that what you did to us may have been done out good intention, but the hard truth remains that you left us to die!"
"We did to protect you from V.V." Shadow Charles growl. "Why cannot you understand?"
"Because your plan was your real concern…" Nunnally said with bitterness in her voice. "It doesn't matter if we are alive or dead…"
"Nunnally, you're wrong! We are doing this for the gentle world that you wish!" Shadow Charles said.
This made Lelouch snapped. "Stop it! The world you're speaking of will be kinder and gentler only to you, the world that Nunnally desires is one in which kindness is extended to everyone, even strangers."
"Big brother…" Nunnally muttered looking at her brother with tears falling from her mask.
"Lelouch, you incompetence…! The Ragnarok Connection is the future people will see and even if you think changing my heart will do anything—" Shadow Charles couldn't finished his sentence as Lelouch pulled the trigger of his gun and there is a hug hole on his forehead. This cause the shadow of Britannia Emperor collapsed to the floor.
"Glad you shut his rambling…" Ayano said with smirk.
Lelouch looks down at the Shadow body of his father after shoot him. He knew that it would take more for a Shadow to disappear and cause a mental shut down to his real father. Others get out their weapons ready as their leader soon spoke up.
"Now show us your true form…!" Lelouch demanded.
The Phantom thieves wait as they watched the body of Shadow Charles and change was about to happen.
Soon the body melts into darkness before standing up once again and changes into a different form. Standing before them was a large armored knight with blood stained armor and thorns wrapped around his body.
"You won't be needed in the world I am creating." The Shadow hissed through the bloody helmet.
(Play Persona 5 River in Desert Instrumental)
"A blood knight…who wouldn't have expected this?" Akito remarked.
"The ideal that Britannia believed drive from his own beliefs…" Jeremiah commented.
"So this is his shadow self…" Leila comment with disgust. "How fitting for someone who thinks the world revolves around him."
"I will show you my power!" The shadow shouted. He got out his large blood stain sword and swung down at the Phantom Thieves, they easily dodged the blow.
Lelouch and others got into their positions as they fired their bullets, but they only do little damage on him. Nunnally calls her Persona which is a large UFO and she went inside the vehicle as she doing research on the shadow.
"PERSONA!" Lelouch and Leila shouted as they ripped off their masks from their face.
Emerging behind him was a humanoid figure. It had a black face with red flame on its eyes and mouth. It had a black top hat and a black vest with red over coat and red leggings and black wings. It looked monstrous, yet elegant all at the same time.
Behind Leila a figure strides forth. Her hair is curled into twin, night-black ponytails. Upon her face, she wears a thin, pink mask. Her body is ornamented with a long skirted black and red gypsy dress. It is both a flower and an inferno. One slender, muscled leg ending in a ruby high-heeled boot is propped upon the back of a sniveling little beast of a man, its head in the shape of a heart. Another of the wimpy creatures drifts in the air like a kite, bound by the neck with a thin cord.
"Destroy him, Arsene!" Lelouch commanded.
"Burn him, Carmen!" Leila shouted
Carmen unleashed a fire storm around the Shadow of Britannia Emperor. Arsene fires dark energy from his palms to sending the Emperor back.
But the Shadow blood knight gets back up from being attack. Soon he made his turn by swinging his sword and sent a gale that blow Lelouch and Leila back.
Meanwhile, Nunnally is watching the fight in her UFO like vehicle with concern for her brother and teammates.
"Be careful everyone, he is unlike any Shadow we have faced so far…" Nunnally said as she researches on her father's shadow.
"Don't worry, Lady Nunnally. We won't let him crush us." Jeremiah vowed.
"Go, Zorro!" Morgana shouted before calling upon a huge, barrel-chested, black caped figure emerged. One arm behind its back and other grips a rapier in a mocking salute to the knight.
"Take this!" The cat cries, and Zorro swishes its blade through the air in a 'z' pattern. Pillars of wind whip air twist around the knight. Though it won't take down the Shadow easily even if it's one belong to the Britannia emperor.
Before the Shadow continued, he turns around and blocks an incoming swing from Jeremiah's weapon before knocking him back.
"I won't let you harm him!" Jeremiah snapped before tearing off his mask. "Get him, Seiten Taisei!"
Emerging before him was a large figure standing on a black cloud with red eyes. The figure has yellow spiking Mohawk above the head and green eyes. Wearing blue armor with green and red in the middle and binding around the chest is pair of chains and long red pants. Holding on one hand is a large staff with the number says 8000K.
Seiten Taisei spins his weapon around and unleashed powerful thunder bolts around the Shadow, to make him scream in pain.
Jeremiah saw Akito charging forward to be the one who fought the Shadow.
"Fox!" Jeremiah snapped as the two swap place after they give each other a clapped in the hand.
Akito charged forward as he dodging the incoming explosions meant for him. He then got out his katana as he got close to the Shadow and clashed in blades with the large blade.
The two traded blow to blow before Akito notices something from afar and jump out of the way as the Shadow of Britannia Emperor got shot in the back.
"You dared to play coward move, Euphemia!?" The Shadow of her father growls in rage at the pink haired thief.
"Brother says the easier way to win in fight is not fighting by the rule." Euphemia said with an evil grin. "Fire again, Milady."
This gives Akito the chance to move out of the way as he reached for his mask.
"Persona…!" Akito shout before ripping his fox-like mask from his face. Suddenly the air around them freezes as a large figure appeared behind Akito.
"Freeze him, Goemon…" Akito ordered.
The infamous outlaw of Japan thrust his weapon forward as the Shadow Blood Knight was frozen solid as ice.
"Persona!" Ayano shout next as she removes her mask from her face and summoned her Persona in the process.
She soon leaps onto what looks like a large bike with silver faceplate before firing nuclear bombs around the frozen statue of the Shadow Blood Knight.
Soon the ice statue of the Shadow Blood Knight shattered as the Shadow let out a roar before raising his sword into the air. Suddenly everyone felt jolt of pain as they felt their power going down. The Shadow Blood Knight brought his sword and swing as the thieves got sending across the floor.
"This is bad, everyone look like their power dropping down…" Nunnally said with concern.
"This is what happened to those who oppose against me!" The Shadow Blood Knight barked angry. "It won't be long until the new world begins and this fight becomes meaningless."
Before the Blood Knight came toward them, he was hit by a blaze of flame and turn as he looks at the masked leader of the Phantom Thieves.
"Your fight is with me…" Lelouch said serious as he glared at the Shadow monstrous.
"You will regret the day you defy against me…" The Blood Knight shouted as he unleashed a powerful slash at Lelouch.
Lelouch jumps high into the air to avoid the attack.
"Yoshitsune!" he shouted, the Persona materializing before him.
"Destroy him!" He cried. Yoshitsune brought out two swords in his hands, then unleashes multiple slashes on the Blood Knight's right arm.
Lelouch then throws himself at the right arm and firing several shoots with his shotgun to create a crack. He then thrust his knife into the crack, and with a grunt, he thrusts it upward. This made the Blood Knight screams in pain when the knife struck beneath the armor. Lelouch jumps out of the way as the Blood Knight try to get to him.
"You… I will make sure that you won't get out of here alive!" Shadow Blood Knight growled.
"Not going anyway until I beat your stupid reality into bits and taken your treasure." Lelouch said serious with confident smirk.
To be continued….
AN: That is the end of the One-shot. Lelouch's Japanese Voice actor also plays in the MC for Persona 5 and not to mention Arsene who I can also fit to be Lelouch's Persona. I couldn't resist of trying something like this. I already seen Jetslinger333 did in his fic Phantom Knights. However, things are different here. Rather of going into Japan, Lelouch, Nunnally and Jeremiah sneak into the EU after made everyone believe that they die in the plane, meant for them goes to Japan, to escape from the emperor's control over them. Also I thanks Moonlight Abyss looking over things for me.
Anyway, be sure to review or message me for any questions, comments, or concern.
