AN: Welcome back to another one-shot, but this is more of something that Jetslinger333 wants on my realm of dream.
I don't own Code Geass nor Kingdom Heart
A Wildcard Nobody
They say that when you push hard, killing is as easy as breathing. As Roxas, Number XIII, looked at the corpses of Britannian soldiers he had slain, his Keyblade was drenched in blood, matching the crimson splatters on his face. The boy felt nothing as he gazed at the lifeless bodies scattered at his feet.
Roxas had been brought to this world after being used to wake up Sora. The only thing he remembered was waking up in front of Ashford Academy and being saved by two people: Milly Ashford and Lelouch Lamperouge.
At first, Lelouch was skeptical of the stranger in their care, but with Milly's persuasion, he reluctantly accepted him. The boy, named Roxas, had amnesia and lacked common sense, including dining etiquette and greetings. Milly found it amusing when he accidentally entered the wrong changing rooms. The girls' screams of both awe and shock at seeing a boy with a lean yet muscular body were something Milly would often tease Lelouch about. Despite these mishaps, Roxas became a new member of the student council, getting to know Shirley Fenette, Rivalz Cardemonde, Nina Einstein, and Nunnally Lamperouge.
Roxas started living a normal life for once, and it made him happy. But even he wasn't naive enough to believe that all that glitters is gold. He began reading about the history of the world, learning that the place he stayed in was called Japan, now Area 11, a country conquered by Britannia. The Japanese had their own names and cultural identity stripped away.
This reminded Roxas too much of the Organization, which allowed them to do whatever they wanted because it was their 'just cause.'
Then he met Kallen Stadtfeld, or rather her true identity, Kozuki Kallen, discovering her secret by accident. She initially threatened him with a knife, but Roxas easily disarmed her. After some struggle and conversation, a mutual understanding and trust developed. Kallen trusted Roxas a little, although she still saw him as Britannian. It wasn't easy for her to trust him fully.
Another problem was the manifestation of Heartless in this world, and Roxas needed to take care of them. Thankfully, they were more concentrated in Area 11, likely due to his wielding of the Keyblade. The Heartless at least provided him with Munny and materials for future use.
The world was a magnet of negativity, attracting the Heartless like moths to a flame.
As Roxas lived his life, the demon within would awaken, and things would change, either for good or bad. The Keyblade would bring salvation or destruction to the world.
Twelve hours ago, Roxas was in Shinjuku and witnessed a massacre. Innocent people were being slaughtered, and something inside him snapped. He attacked, killing all the Britannian soldiers in an instant. It was a bloodbath; no one was spared. When it was over, bodies of soldiers lay around him. Roxas had a blank look, feeling nothing after killing humans.
The reason he was in Shinjuku was because of a gut feeling that something terrible was going to happen. He skipped classes and rushed to Shinjuku, and what he saw triggered something within him, causing him to kill all the soldiers.
"Is this what killing humans is?" Roxas thought as he looked at his blood-stained hands. "I don't feel anything at all. But seeing them kill innocent people made me angry, so why? Is it because they deserved it?" Roxas remembered Lelouch's words: "The only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed."
Then he heard an explosion. Knowing the battle wasn't over and worried about his identity being exposed if caught on camera, he quickly covered his entire face with his hood. Summoning his Keyblade, he continued fighting the military while simultaneously saving the Japanese.
Clovis was panicking. The terrorists were gaining the upper hand until he decided to deploy Lloyd's new weapon, which temporarily turned the tide of battle. Just as he began to feel a semblance of relief, he received an emergency call.
"What is it? Did we win?" the prince demanded.
"No, your highness, we're under attack by an unknown assailant. He's killing all of us!"
"Does he have a Knightmare? I sent in the Lancelot."
"That's just it, your highness. This... this person is too strong and fast. He's cutting down our tanks and Knightmares like they're made of paper, and he can conjure fire, ice, and thunder. Ahhhh—" The transmission cut off abruptly.
"What's going on? Is this a new enemy?" Clovis wondered aloud.
Roxas slashed through another tank with his Keyblade, causing it to tilt and explode. When soldiers fired their weapons, Roxas deflected the bullets with ease, then unleashed Firaga spells, engulfing the soldiers in flames. A Knightmare approached, firing its weapons. Roxas dodged swiftly.
"Strike Raid!" he shouted, hurling the Oblivion Keyblade like a boomerang. It sliced through the Knightmare, which exploded moments later. Roxas continued his rampage without pause.
They started to call him the Grim Reaper because of his black coat. The Japanese called him Shinigami, their savior, as he used Cure spells to heal the wounded. It was then that he was finally confronted by the White Knight.
"Lloyd, I've found our assailant," Suzaku reported.
"The one in black clothes?" Lloyd asked.
"Yes, I'm going to order him to surrender," Suzaku said. "You are under arrest!"
'Seriously…' Roxas thought as he began walking slowly, then picked up speed, sprinting as he summoned both Oathkeeper and Oblivion. Sparks flew as the blades scraped the ground.
Suzaku quickly fired two Slash Harkens, but Roxas dodged them effortlessly and cut the wires.
"Impossible," Suzaku thought, stunned by this person who conjured weapons like magic and had extraordinary reflexes. Yet, he refused to give up. Suddenly, he saw flames shoot from the tip of Roxas's weapon, causing an explosion. The Lancelot cockpit shook violently. "How is this possible?"
"Suzaku, what's wrong?" Cecile's voice was filled with concern.
"The terrorist is not an ordinary person," Suzaku replied.
"What do you mean?"
"I can't explain it, but he can use magic." Suzaku's words sounded absurd even to him.
"That's preposterous. I don't believe in such things," Lloyd scoffed.
"But there's proof," Cecile said, revealing footage from the Lancelot's camera showing Roxas casting flame spells.
"Suzaku, retreat," Cecile ordered.
"Yes, save my Lancelot," Lloyd added, more concerned about his machine than his comrade.
"I can still fight!" Suzaku protested. While he was distracted, Roxas dashed forward, slicing off the Lancelot's right arm, which fell to the ground. Knowing he was outmatched, Suzaku quickly retreated, realizing the black-cloaked figure was too powerful.
Roxas looked at the remains of the Lancelot, considering their potential usefulness. He collected the parts using his magic bag.
Then he heard Clovis's announcement and dashed towards the G1 base, eager to confront the prince. But then he saw a soldier remove his helmet, revealing the face of Lelouch. The guards let him pass without question.
Curious, Roxas sneaked inside and witnessed everything: Lelouch was a prince, and he had just killed his half-brother in cold blood.
Lelouch was puking in the bathroom after killing Clovis. When he emerged, he found Roxas waiting for him, a furious frown on his face.
"What can I help you with, Roxas?" Lelouch asked, trying to play the fool.
"We need to talk, vi Britannia." Roxas's whisper was cold, and the way he said Lelouch's family name indicated he knew his secret.
(This is the part after the battle in Narita. Roxas confronts Lelouch after the funeral.)
"Lelouch, we need to talk."
"Can this wait?"
"No! It cannot wait; it concerns what happened at Narita." Roxas was already agitated.
"What is it?"
"What is it?! Do you even hear yourself? Shirley and those in Narita died because of your plan, causing a landslide that buried innocent people who had nothing to do with our war," Roxas growled furiously.
"I know what you're getting at," Lelouch said, still trying to feign ignorance.
"My point is that you didn't tell me about the plan beforehand," Roxas pointed out.
"If I had, you wouldn't have approved it," Lelouch retorted.
"Of course I wouldn't have approved it! But I could have changed the plan to avoid civilian casualties. We could have warned them about the impending battle near their homes. I could have used myself as bait to lure the Britannians to a perfect kill zone, or used the Corridor to ambush the base from behind."
Lelouch couldn't find the words. Roxas's plan might have worked, and Shirley's father's death could have been avoided.
Roxas exhaled heavily. "Lelouch, you only look at the outcome of the plan but not the consequences. It's always about achieving results, not considering the collateral damage."
"If it wasn't for me during the Saitama incident, you would have been convicted. Treating others like pawns is no different than your father and Xemnas," Roxas pointed out.
Hearing that, Lelouch was furious. "I am nothing like them!"
"Not like them? That's a joke. Have you looked at yourself? You won't trust me with the plan; you can't trust your friends; and you can't even trust those close to you. Yet, you have the gall to say you aren't like your father."
"Shut up! You don't know what it's like to lose everything and be used."
Roxas decided enough was enough. "I know exactly what it's like to be tossed aside like garbage after being used! You prideful, delusional prince. Xemnas treated me and Xion like pawns, ready to be disposed of after being used. And again, I was manipulated by a man called DiZ, who lived a lie and then disposed of me once more. I don't claim to understand your life, but being used as a pawn? That, I understand. You should know better, but it's gotten to your head. With the power you obtained, you think you can do anything you want, just like every other Britannian. Such a hypocrite."
Lelouch didn't know what to say; it felt like Roxas had exposed all his flaws.
"Nunnally was right. You really can't open up or trust anyone. She told me the scar of betrayal was too deep." Roxas treated Nunnally like a sibling, having cured her legs with the last of his elixir. As such, the little girl trusted Roxas and confided in him about her problems, including Lelouch's distrust due to trauma.
"You won't understand."
"Oh, I understand perfectly. You're afraid, that's all. Afraid to make connections with others, like Suzaku. You can't even trust me until I know your secrets and my secret of being a Nobody."
"I'm warning you, Lelouch. I swear to Kingdom Hearts, if you pull a stunt like that again, I won't hesitate to take everything from you. Nunnally deserves a brother who doesn't lie to her, even though she can't tell the truth."
Lelouch wanted to shout, but every word Roxas spoke was true; it was like Roxas had laid bare all his flaws.
"But I'm giving you a chance, for Nunnally's sake. Don't waste it," Roxas said, leaving the room.
Lelouch then threw a tantrum, smashing and throwing things. When he finished and calmed down, he felt like the worst person ever.
"Finally got all of that out of your system? You know everything he said is true," C.C. decided to speak up. Lelouch had never had someone scold him or point out his flaws so bluntly.
"It's not that simple."
"It's simple. Even I can trust him more than you, including Kallen and others. So why can't you?"
Lelouch didn't know what to say.
