Code Geass: Back to The Past for a New Future
Chapter 5: Training the Body, Sharping Skills, Healing the Mind, and Talking Plans
It did not take long before Lelouch, Kallen, and Kitsune had returned to the others. Once they were back, Kitsune had suggested to them for them to change their clothing for some workout clothes. It took a few minutes, but soon all of them changed clothes. "What is the plan for this training," Lelouch asked. "First we will start with some stretches to loosen up your bodies. Following that will be exercises that will not only help strengthen yall bodies but improve yall stamina as well. There will be breaks at certain times along with lunch and dinner. We will also get some hand-to-hand combat training and also get yall to improve your Knightmare piloting skills as well," Kitsune answered. "I been wanting to ask you this is why are we training in the first place," Kallen asked as she has been wondering about this for a while. "The reason is when I send yall back to the past, I am going to send you with your new improve skill that you will have back with yall to give yall an edge in your battles," Kitsune answered, and everyone was surprised by his answered.
"I am taking a guess that it will be possible with those Infinity Stones," Lelouch asked as he figured that was the correct answer. "You would be correct. With the Infinity Stones I am going to merge you of the now with the past you. There is one thing that I am not sure about when I do this," Kitsune replied, and everyone looked towards him. "What would that be," Lelouch asked with curious look on his face. "It has to do with Jeremiah," Kitsune answered. "What does this have to do with me," Jeremiah asked as he was concern. "I am not sure how it will work with you being a cyborg being merge with yourself in the past self that is human. I don't have a clue what will happened. It could be possible that your memories will transfer. Maybe your current body will go with you in the past. I just don't know to be honest," Kitsune replied, and everyone now realized by what Kitsune meant before.
"It could be possible that the Geass Canceller could be a part of Jeremiah's past self without the cyborg parts. The Geass Canceller is too much of important tool to lose. That is why when I go get Rakahata, I will see if she can do some studies on Jeremiah and see if she can replicate it in the past. If she can, then she may be able to make either a handheld device or even equip some Knightmare frames with it that can counter Geass powers that may have similar effects like Rolo's Geass," Kitsune said. The moment that Lelouch heard this, he figured with the handheld device can be use in a number of different ways. The few purposes of the device would be able to counter Mao, stop Euphemia from the command that he gave by accident, and for Kallen to use on him in case his father use his Geass on him if he was caught again or anyone else for that matter. This would help in big ways that would be extremely helpful. "That will be for later, for now we need to put our focus on what he can do at this moment," Kitsune said as try to get them to focus on the now and not on the next.
Soon everyone was started to get their stretches done. Kallen and Sayoko were trying their best to help Lelouch to loosen his body properly. After the streches, all of them started with some basic exercises. Everyone was doing a good job on their exercises, except for Lelouch who was struggling with the both the lack of muscles and stamina which was to no one surprised. Somehow Lelouch was able to pull through with his shirt drenched in sweat. The day went on with their exercises and taking much needed breaks. As the evening came need, it came time for some hand-to-hand combat training to begin. "Are you sure you want us to train with how tired we are at this moment," Kallen asked as she saw everyone was a bit exhausted from the training they have done so far. "Yes I am. But for this training part it will be different," Kitsune answered. "How is that," C.C. asked. "You see I am going to help us cheat in way that should prove to be beneficial in the coming month," Kitsune replied and had everyone attention was now on him.
"The way that this training is going to be done is going to involve me using two of the Infinity Stones," Kitsune said. "How so," Sayoko asked as they all wonder what Kitsune was going to do now. "I will use both the Time and Mind Stone to do this. With combining these two, I will put all of us in a mindscape to do a sort of mental training with the Mind Stone. With the Time Stone we will get lot hours of training done in just a few minutes. The only downside is whatever reaction time you may somehow develop in the mind, you will have to retrain your body physically to have that same reaction," Kitsune replied. Everyone was shocked by what Kitsune had said about the next part of their training. Kitsune had already placed both the Time and Mind Stone in his gauntlet as they were taking a break. Kitsune had all of them sit in circle in some shade.
Once they were all seated, Kitsune had both the stones glowing. It did not take long for the five to enter the mindscape that belong to Kitsune. All of them looked around them and saw they were in that looked to be a martial arts dojo of some kind. "I figured that this would be a proper place for us to start our training," Kitsune said as he appeared in the dojo, and he was wearing a traditional karate gi. The others took noticed that they were also wearing karate gi as well. "Now that we are all here let's get this training started," Kitsune said as he started to stretch out his arms. As they saw him stretch his arms, they took noticed that he was not wearing his gauntlet on his right hand. "Why are you not wearing your gauntlet," Sayoko asked the question that was on their mind. "The reason being is this place is in my mind so there is no reason for it to be here. Not worry we will still be able to leave from here," Kitsune replied as he finished his stretches.
Kitsune, Jeremiah, Sayoko, and surprising enough C.C. began to show both Kallen and Lelouch different fighting styles. The reason for the different fighting styles was to see what styles would work for the two. Lelouch showed he had a handle of using Taekwondo and Aikido. For Kallen she was mixing the styles of Judo, Wing Chun, Karate, and Jiu-Jitsu along with some other fighting moves that she knows. Kitsune was able to use a mental image of Suzaku for Kallen to fight against. Kitsune was able to use his Mind Stone on Suzaku on Kamine Island and was able to see how he fought. With this bit of knowledge this gave Kallen a chance to fight back against the real Suzaku when the time comes. At time Kitsune, Jeremiah, Sayoko, and C.C. would spar against two so they would try to learn to adapt to their opponent's fighting styles.
With sparring against Jeremiah, the two were shown the Britannia military fighting styles and show ways to counter it. When they fought against Sayoko, she used the Shinozaki School of martial arts style. Sayoko had shown the two her how highly skilled of a martial artist she was with combine it with her athletic talents with her using training kunai. With the two fighting Sayoko, they had to deal with fighting an opponent using knives if the situation come up. C.C. would either fight one-on-one with the styles she knew, or she would team up with Kitsune and fight both Kallen and Lelouch in either two-on-one or two-on-two. This gave the two more experience with knowing there will be time when they fought against more than one opponent. When they fought against Kitsune, he shown the to how to keep adapt when in a middle of a fight. Kitsune would change from one style to another at a drop of a hat. Kitsune made sure to not keep pattern and always changed it at random moments.
To all of them the training that they were doing seems to go on for hours. Kitsune was the one who had decided to end their training section. Once the five opened their eyes, they saw that they were no longer in the dojo and were once again sitting in a circle under some shade. "That was interesting hour of training that we got done. Just to let yall know that while we were training, I did used the Time Stone to not only to help with the mind training but also to help yalls bodies to recover a bit from the training from earlier," Kitsune said, and the others were feeling that their bodies were no longer exhausted. Kitsune had motion for the five to follow him to a different hanger then the one that all of them were in from where they slept.
When they entered the hanger, the five saw that a bunch of training mats were place on the floor and a few rubbers looking weapon close by. They also notice a few pods that was on the other side of the hanger. These pods were really Knightmare training simulators. "In this hanger is where we will either get your hand-to-hand reaction time training up to par or your Knightmare piloting skills can be improve by using higher setting," Kitsune told them as they now understood what this hanger was going to be use for. Kallen with both Jeremiah and Sayoko headed for the training mats. Kallen wanted to get her reaction time up to par and began fight with both Jeremiah and Sayoko either one at a time or both at once. Kallen was determined to put all she had learn in the mindscape training to good use.
As for Lelouch and C.C., they headed over to the simulator pods. Once they got in the pods, it did not take long for them to realized that Kitsune had set the training difficulties setting to between hard to almost impossible levels. Lelouch had seen that there was different Knightmare frames with different weapons were programed into the pods. Lelouch took noticed that the frames used by Britannia were not the only ones. There were ones used by different nations, custom frames, and even the Knightmare frame used by the Black Knights. The simulators were also program with different environment like from forest, desert, cities, skies, and many others. With everything that both Lelouch and C.C. were seeing with the simulators, this would give those that were here an edge in how to fight properly.
Kitsune made sure to had all of them rotate with their training while they are in the hanger. Kallen and Lelouch were slowly but surely getting their reaction time in hand fighting to par. Kitsune have both Kallen and Lelouch spar against each other at time. Lelouch had lost count of the number of times that Kallen had pin him down to the mats. Lelouch had to admit that Kallen definitely had skills in not only in piloting, but also in hand fighting and knew she would get better with time. Jeremiah and Sayoko would also take some time in sparing against one another. Jeremiah had taken to using the rubber sword and Sayoko had taken to using a pair of rubber kunai knives. As the two spar, if had become a guessing game for the four that watch these two for who was going to win. The two had clearly show that they had kept their skills with weapons in top form.
In the end there was no winners in the spar. With Kitsune and the others, they had a feeling that these two were going to spar as much as they can as they were training in the days to come. With the evening coming to signal them as the day was coming to an end. Kitsune had pointed to them towards a third hanger and informed them that was where some showers and some bathtubs were located with it being split with a men's and women's side. There was also some washing machines and dryers for their clothes to be clean while they were cleaning their bodies from the day's training. Soon the five were getting clean and relaxing their sore muscles. Once they finished getting clean, they returned to the first hanger, and they got shocked by what they ended up seeing before their eyes.
The hanger was completely empty this morning when they woke up and now the hanger was fill with a few things. There was a kitchen set up with table that was big for about ten people. There was even an area set up with some recliner chairs and sofas that appeared to be a relaxing area for them. They saw that dinner was set for them on the table. They all wonder how in the world that Kitsune had set all this up in so little time. It was not long until all of them were eating the food that was ready for them. As they were eating, they were soon wondering where Kitsune was at. It was not long since that thought when Kitsune had entered the hanger and headed towards them. "Where have you been," C.C. asked as Kitsune was now taking a seat at the table.
"I was taking care of a few things that had to done," Kitsune replied. Once everyone was finished eating, Kitsune said, "Not bad for the first day of training. I believe it will be best if can up this schedule for the month. I also think it will be best if on every seven days yall will take a day of rest for yall bodies don't get overworked." All five of them nodded their heads in agreement with Kitsune just said. Once the dishes were put in the sink, everyone headed for the relaxing area to take a bit of break and possible talk for a bit before heading off to bed. The only two that were going to the relaxing area were Kitsune and Kallen.
"Something on your mind Kallen," Kitsune asked as Kallen was standing not far from him and looking straight at him. "If it possible if you can use that Mind Stone of yours to help me with Lelouch," Kallen asked with seriousness in her voice. "Why do you want me to do that," Kitsune asked as he crossed his arms as he wanted to hear her answer. Kallen took a deep breath and released it as she then replies, "Last night he was dealing with a terrible nightmare from what he said and has been having them for just about a week. I just want to help the man that I love. Can you help me please?" Kitsune looked Kallen in the eyes and took noticed that a few small tears were forming in her eyes. Kitsune believe the old saying that the eyes were window into the soul.
Kitsune knew in an instant Kallen was serious in what she had asked of him. Kitsune gave a small smile and answered, "I will do it. I want you to know that you will have to be the one that will have to enter in mind when we do this." "Why," Kallen asked and Kitsune replied, "The reason is that I will have to maintain the connection between the two of you. Unlike earlier when training in my mindscape is that I still had control with it. Since this will another person mind to be going into, I won't have any control to return." Kallen understood by what Kitsune said that she will have to enter the mind of Lelouch. 'I believe it be best if we go ahead and do this now in the sleeping quarters," Kitsune said as both him and Kallen went to fetch Lelouch to get this done.
It did not take long for the three to head to the sleeping quarters. Lelouch and settle in the bed with Kallen by his side. It did not take long for Lelouch to fell asleep. Once Lelouch was sleeping, Kitsune turned to Kallen and said, "Here is how this is going to work. Once you close your eyes, I start using the Mind Stone to establish a link between your mind to his. With the link is done you will be in his mind. I will maintain the connection. When you are done, return back to where you enter at, and I will get take it from there to stop the link." Kallen nods her head in determination and began to close her eyes as she laid her head down on the pillow. "Here we go," Kitsune said as the Mind Stone was glowing and the link was starting to form between the two.

In The Mindscape of Lelouch

Kallen opened her eye and took a look around to make sure the process had work. As she looked around her, she took noticed it was nighttime and there what to be a black fog, but it was not too thick like she thought to be. She also saw that she was on brick stone path that led to an outline of a building in the fog. The building was only shown by a crescent moon in the night sky. Kallen decided to walk down the path to the building seeing that it is was possible the only option she had. As she headed the path, she took a quick look back at where she was at and was surprised to see what was there now. It was a red chess piece that was tall as she was. Kallen soon realized that the chess piece was the queen piece in chess. Kallen laugh a bit and had to wonder if this was the doing of Kitsune or Lelouch. Kallen had then faced forward to her destination.
The walk to the building did not take long to get to. Once she got to the front of the building, she looked around it and took noticed of what to be a garden surround the building. The garden was filled with flowers, but all the flowers were all in one color only and that was black. Some of the flowers had their petals falling off them. Kallen had a hard time in making out if the flowers were dying or what. She then remembers that this was Lelouch's mind and those were not real. She looked to the building and for some reason it looked somewhat familiar to her. It was then she remembered why it did. She had seen a picture of it in a magazine. This building with the garden was none other than the Aries Imperial Villa. This was the home to Marianne Vi Britannia and her two children, Nunnally and Lelouch, for a time before the assassination of Marianne.
Kallen took noticed that the building had cracks forming on the outside walls and even the window was either crack or broken. Kallen started to approach the door that had the appearance that made it looked like it would fall off its hinges if one was to touch it. Just as she reaches for the doorknob to open it, she stopped in motion as she heard a voice from behind her said, "You should not be here Q1." Kallen turned around quickly and was surprised by who she saw. It was none then Zero. Before Kallen said anything, she took noticed of two things about Zero. There was a dark purple hazing mist the surround the air around his body like an aura but one was still able to make out the shape of his body. The other thing she saw what that Zero was not solid and more like it was fading ghost like.
"Is that you Lelouch," Kallen asked with uncertain. "No, I am not," Zero answered back in the same voice that Kallen had heard for the first moment that she met Zero. "Who are you then," Kallen asked as she started to move her body just in case, she ended up getting attack. "I am Zero or maybe it is best that I said that I am just a part of Lelouch," Zero replied. "What is this place? This looks like the Aries Imperial Villa in Britanna," Kallen asked as she gestures towards the building that was behind her. "You are correct that this building being the Aries Imperial Villa. This Villa was once a happy place for Lelouch, but it also serves as the first event of many that impacted his life," Zero answered and this left Kallen a bit of confused. "What do you mean by that," Kallen asked as she needed to know.
"It all started with the plan of V.V. to assassinate Marianne which left Nunnally both blind and crippled. The following event to happened was when the Emperor told him that both him and his sister were considered to be weak and then sent to Japan. The next was him seeing the attack that Britanna had launch against Japan all those years ago. The next event in his life was most likely the biggest impact was when he had to carry Nunnally threw an area that was fill with corpses of the dead as he tries to find a safe place of the two of them. Lelouch had to lied to Nunnally about the smell and whenever he was able to find some proper food, he made sure that Nunnally was well fed with him almost eating from little to nothing at all just for his sister to survive during that time. There were a few times that Lelouch almost did not made it, but his drive to keep Nunnally safe is what kept pushing him," Zero explaining and Kallen was turning a sickly green in the face with what she heard. Kall had no idea what both Lelouch and Nunnally went through. Kallen realized how much Nunnally was important to Lelouch. Almost like a lifeline.
"I believe if Lelouch did not have Nunnally with him, he would most likely gone insane form that ordeal. The next to happen was the betrayal from Suzaku, who Lelouch once consider to be his best friend, to hand him to the Emperor. The following was when you were caught in China, but he was doing all he could to save you as he planning his next move. Lelouch refused to leave you in the hands of the Britanna," Zero continued which brought a little red to Kallen's cheek in knowing that Lelouch cared for her. "The next event that hurt him was when Rolo had killed Shirley all because she wanted to help him. The next impact was when Nunnally was killed. This hurt Lelouch on so many levels and this was when he had decided to let the Black Knight to kill him when they betrayed him to Schneizel. If it weren't for Rolo, then Lelouch would have been dead. Lelouch was able to get his revenge, but this left him hurting even more from what he learned. Lelouch did have a plan he was going to do, but when he learned he was going blind, he decided to play his last move that involved both you and the Black Knights," Zero finished explaining all the Kallen.
Kallen was processing all that she just learned. Kallen soon realized that the Lelouch that she had come to know was nothing more than a mask that he had created a long time ago. She soon realized also that Lelouch had been hurting all this time. She started to cry a bit with the truth that was coming to her about the man that was in love with. After a moment, Kallen wiped away her tears and asked with determination in her voice, "Where is Lelouch at?" "He is inside the Villa, but I must advise you to not entered the Villa. The moment you entered the Villa you will be shown his memories. You may even reconsider your feeling for him if you learn certain truths that even you did not know about. I believe it would be best if you leave," Zero replied as he looked at Kallen. Kallen turned to face the door and replied back, "I don't care. I will do whatever it takes help Lelouch. I refused to let the man that I come to love to be in any more pain." Kallen reached for the handle and opened the door. As soon as Kallen entered the Villa, the door closed behind her.
The moment the sound of the door closing, Zero turned his head toward the sky. Zero could barely see the moon with all the black fog that was becoming thicker. 'I hope that she is able to bring out the true Lelouch. I hate this fog that had been forming for the past eight year. I can't stand at not being able to see the light of the moon in this mindscape. I believe that Kallen will be able to pull Lelouch out of the dark abyss that he has been and back to where he belongs,' Zero thought with hope. Zero started to fade away if anyone was there to see this by chance.

Inside the Villa in Lelouch's Mind
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kallen walked through the door to enter the Villa and started her search for Lelouch. As Kallen walked through a hallway in the Villa, she took noticed at how run down the building was and the destroyed furniture. Kallen saw broken pictures frame of certain points in Lelouch's life that hung on the walls. Kallen saw some door and decided to open them to see if she could find Lelouch. The moment Kallen touched the knob she started to see the memories from Lelouch early life. Kallen released her touch on the knob to stop seeing the memories. Kallen came to the conclusion that her search for Lelouch was going to be difficult. Kallen refused to let her determination waiver even for a moment.
Kallen started in a sprint down the halls and giving the knobs of the doors she passed a touch on the chance of finding Lelouch in this Villa. The memoires that Kallen seen showed more of Lelouch's life through the years. Kallen soon came to a huge room that had a staircase that when to the second floor of the Villa. Kallen took noticed that the stairs had bullet holes on them and also saw that there were two female bodies on the ground. The first body was an adult woman with long black hair, but the strangest thing was that the woman was faceless. The second was a young girl that was under the first woman. The second girl had a face that Kallen had seen before and that was Nunnally's face with her eyes closed with tears flowing out. Kallen realized that this must be the memory from when Lelouch saw this.
Kallen sprinted up the stairs to the second floor and hoping that she was close to finding Lelouch. Kallen entered another hallway with more door. Kallen saw more memories as she touched the doors. Kallen soon started to see memoires that she was more familiar with. The memoires of Lelouch being Zero. Kallen was starting to see more as she continued to search for Lelouch. Kallen soon came upon the memory when she first learned the truth of who Zero was behind the mask on Kamine Island during the Black Rebellion. Kallen hated herself for not trying to help him in his fight against Suzaku. This only fueled her determination even more if that was possible.
She continued her search as she saw more memories. Then she came across a door that did not show a memory. Kallen hope for the best as she opened the door to look inside. Kallen saw that behind the door was a room that looked like it did not fit with how the Villa was design to be. It looked to be a rundown of a church alter with color tinted glass that show artwork of some kind that were broken in pieces on the ground. There were no church pews, but the only thing Kallen noticed in the room was a pitch-black coffin that had the same symbol that was on Zero's mask. The symbol of Geass in blood red. There was hole in the roof that was directly above the coffin. Kallen entered the room to look around for any clue, but that was then she heard the sound of a person crying.
Kallen looked for who was crying and soon found the person in question. It was Lelouch, who was hiding on the other side of the coffin from where Kallen first entered the room. Lelouch was sitting on the ground with his legs bent towards his body with his arms around his legs. With his head on his knees this gave the appearance of a human ball shape. Kallen took noticed the outfit that Lelouch was wearing was his Ashford Academy uniform, but the condition of it was torn in a few spots and it looked like it never seen better days. Kallen moved in front of Lelouch and crouch down. Kallen moved her hands to his shoulders and gave a gentle grab. Lelouch felt the touch and he moved his head up to see who it was.
The moment that Kallen saw his face, she felt her heart ache in pain for what she saw. She saw that Lelouch's eye were exactly the same when she saw them in the warehouse back in Shinjuku and was also crying. This sight that Kallen was seeing was breaking her heart at seeing the man she loves in this state. "Kallen, what are you doing here," Lelouch asked as his voice sounded broken. "I am here to help you. I can't stand to see you hurt and broken," Kallen answered. "To be honest Kallen I don't think I can go through the plan Kitsune proposed," Lelouch said as he looked to side to avoid at looking at Kallen's face. Kallen looked at Lelouch and notice that the Lelouch in front of her looked to be fading a bit. Then it hit Kallen that this Lelouch in front of her was the true Lelouch and she figure because of everyone that happened this was causing the real Lelouch to give up. Kallen knew she could not allow that to happen.
"I have to ask you this Lelouch. Before you got your Geass, you were planning to fight Britannia back then," Kallen asked as figure this may be a way to get him to snap out of this state he is in. "Yes, I was. The Geass just happened to speed up the plan I had," Lelouch answered. "You know with all the battles we fought in I noticed something crazy," Kallen said as she saw Lelouch turned to look back at her. "What is that," Lelouch asked as he was curious look on his face. "You only used your Geass either before the battle or elsewhere that was not a battle but was beneficial later on. When in battle as you were in a Knightmare frame you led us to a shot at victory without your Geass," Kallen said with a bit awe in her voice as she remembers those days. "I could not help but see those battle as a game of chess. I now learn that I should had not thought like that since it caused people close or not to lose their lives," Lelouch replied back with regret in his voice. " I believe that if we go with Kitsune's plan then you can fix those mistakes," Kallen said as she hopes that she is getting through to Lelouch.
"Why should I even try," Lelouch said as he stood up to look directly in her eyes. "Because I know you can do it. You done what no one thought was possible before. You manage to fight back against Britannia," Kallen answered as she too stood up to look Lelouch in the eyes. It was then Kallen noticed that Lelouch's eyes were changing before. They were piecing themselves together and the color was even changing. It was the same color when he used his Geass. Kallen realized that she must have gotten through to him and not she needed to push him to give him the drive that he needed.
"It's that the reason you first created Zero in the first place. It was not only to help you to protect Nunnally but to become a symbol to all. A symbol to the weak that needed hope. A symbol to the corrupt that there would be true justice. A symbol to all to keep the dream of being free from Britannia alive. A symbol to even the Emperor that he should be afraid that the once weak child that cast away for being weak can fight back with his true power. You had a goal that was made. You just need to fight for it once again. You just need to remember who you truly were before and why you were fighting in the first place," Kallen said with determination in her voice, and it was then that she heard something that she had not heard from him before in a while. Lelouch was starting to laugh. It was soft at first, but then it became loud as lift his left hand to his face. It was then he stopped laughing.
"You are correct. I can't believe I was forgetting why I was doing this in the first place. I wanted to change the world to be more peaceful for Nunnally. I hated how that the man that I have to call a father had to treat this world. He claimed that he loved both me and Nunnally, but to me that was no love not evening caring in the slight bit if we die or not. No all that matter was that stupid plan that he along with V.V. and my mother agreed with. I know Schneizel has some sort of plan that will fall along the same lines as the Emperor's plan. I refuse to be their pawn in their game. I show them that I will not be underestimated by either them or anyone else," Lelouch said as he no longer sounding broken but now sounding like a man that knew what needed to be done. Then the coffin was starting to shake. "I will bring forth a different outcome then what I did before," Lelouch said as the coffin started to shake even more.

Then the lid of the coffin exploded, out of the coffin was fire that was color in deep purple. It spread throughout the alter room. The fire surrounds the two in a circle, but the flames never came close to the two. The broken color tinted glass on the floor started to rise and headed right to where the window was at. The window in question was circle in it designs of this place they were in. As the glass reassemble in the proper place. The artwork of the glass reveals the Geass symbol in a blood red color and what to be the background for it was what to be the world behind the Geass symbol. "I will become what this world truly needs. I will once again make Zero into a symbol. A symbol that will bring hope to those in need and a symbol to those that should be afraid," Lelouch said as the flames began to erupt in fury with the words that Lelouch was saying.
"FOR I AM LELOUCH THE ONE WHO WILL BEOCME ZERO," Lelouch shouted out loud. The flames suddenly headed for Lelouch. Kallen was worried for what was going to happen to Lelouch and moved to save him. It was then she noticed that the flames were not even hot. Just as the flames covered Lelouch from his head to his feet, the flames suddenly vanished. Lelouch was no longer wearing his Ashford Academy uniform. He was not wearing his Zero outfit without his mask on his head. Kallen then saw that in both of Lelouch's eyes was his Geass.
Lelouch says with determination in his voice, "I am no longer Lelouch Vi Britannia. He was dead the moment I gave up that name and all that went with it." Lelouch reached out his hand to Kallen. "Kallen, I have to ask you this. Will you stand by my side and help me change this world for the better? Will you help become the strength that Zero id going to need? Will you once more be my Q1," Lelouch asked as he looked towards Kallen. "I will," Kallen answered with a smile on her face as she took his hand. The moment Kallen's hand touches Lelouch's, he pulled her towards him and then he enveloped her in a hug and held her closed. Then Lelouch kissed Kallen on the lips and she returned it. The two kissed for what seemed to be minutes to them. Soon they parted and they looked each other in the eyes.
[Music Over]
"I love you Kallen, My Crimson Queen," Lelouch said by Kallen's ear. Kallen felt her heartbeat a bit faster the moment she heard those words. "I love you too Lelouch, My Dark King," Kaleen replied as she moved her arms around Lelouch's body. The two of them stayed like this for a few moments. Then Kallen released her hug on Lelouch and soon he did the same, but he moved Kallen to left side and held her close with his left arm by her waist. Then the two were now facing the coffin that was now empty. "Before we go, I need to take care of a personal problem of mine," Lelouch said as moved his right arm towards the coffin. Then the two were now feeling the ground to shake like an earthquake. Then all the black fog that Kallen saw when she got to the mindscape, started to gather above the hole in the roof of the alter. All the black fog was now in the form a pitch-black orb in the sky above them. In a sudden movement, the black orb started head right into the coffin. It amazed Kallen was she was seeing.
As the last of the previous orb entered the coffin, then lid came down and slammed shut tight as there was no way for someone to get out if they were in the coffin. In a blink of the eye both Lelouch and Kallen were not outside the Villa. Kallen saw that the Villa was no longer in ruins and was now in better shape. The crescent moon from before was now a full moon. "The black fog was really my nightmare that were keeping my mind from thinking straight, but you help me with that," Lelouch said. Kallen was now feeling happy that she was able to help Lelouch. "I believe you should head back to where you came in and return back to your mind. There is much for us to get ready for in the coming days. Would you say my dear Queen," Lelouch said and Kallen nodded her head. Lelouch started to remove his left arm from Kallen and just as Kallen was about to head to where she entered. She turned to Lelouch and said, "I just want to know that no matter what happens. I will always stay by side if you need me. I will never abandon you again." And with that said Kallen headed to the red queen chess piece.
Lelouch gave a small grin as he watched Kallen leave. 'Once I have finished with changing the world and dealt with Britannia, I will unmasked myself as Zero and then face the future that will be made as Lelouch Lamperouge,' Lelouch thought as he headed towards the Villa.

Kallen opened her eyes and saw the sleeping face of Lelouch. "I believe that everything went well," Kitsune asked. "Yes, it did," Kallen answered. "Okey. I will go ahead and let the two of yall sleep now. See yall for tomorrow training," Kitsune said as he headed for the door. Once Kitsune exited the room, Kallen kiss Lelouch on the forehead and said in a whisper, "Good night and have good dreams." It was not long until Kallen had fallen asleep. it was about an hour or so before the other three people came into the room to get sleep as well for the night.
It was morning of the next day and Lelouch was the first to wake up. The first thing that he saw when he woke up was the sleeping face of Kallen. Lelouch could not help but let a small grin appear on his face as he watched Kallen slowly breathing as she slept. It was then that Lelouch decide to do something that we would never do in the past. Lelouch moved his face closer to Kallen's face and he then gave her a kiss right on the lips. It did not take long for Kallen to wake up from the still kissing Lelouch. Once she was fully awake, she wrapped her arms around Lelouch and pull him closer. The two were starting to really get into their make out session that they forgot one very important fact. "Master Lelouch, I know that you have feelings for Miss Kallen, but I would highly recommended that the both of you find a more private setting if you wish to take your relationship to that level. I do not believe that the present company do not wish to see this continue any further," Sayoko said that caused the two to stop they're making out.
The two turned to look and saw that Sayoko was up along with C.C. and Jeremiah. Jeremiah was looking away so he did not see the scene that may happen. As for C.C., she was another story. She was currently had a cat like grin on her face. Both Kallen and Lelouch were having the same dreading feeling that they got from actions from Milly back at Ashford Academy. "My my. I can't believe that I would actually see the so call dark prince of Ashford would do such a thing with a classmate. What would of the girls back at the academy say if they found out about this bit of info," C.C said with the grin still on her face. Kallen's face turned red as her hair, and she immediately pulled the bed sheets over her head. Lelouch was just as red in his face. Both Kallen and Lelouch were now wishing that they could just die right now to save them from this embarrassment.
"We have training to get ready for. We will give the two of you time to dress. I would like to say that I do not want you two to do that action in this room where we all sleep in and having the knowledge that you two had done the deed here to be the last thoughts on our mind," Sayoko said and she left the room followed by a still grinning C.C. and Jeremiah. Lelouch had figure that C.C. was going to make as many different comments about this as she could today. After a few moments, both Kallen and Lelouch had finally changed into their workout clothes. The two were still red in the face and could not look each other in the eyes, but this did not stop them from holding hands as they left to join the others.
The two saw the other three with Kitsune at the table with breakfast ready for them. As soon as the two sat down, Kitsune said with grin, "You know if the two of yall want some special alone time I can try to prepare a room for yall." The moment Kallen and Lelouch heard this, their bodies exploded in red and if was to look carefully one might see steam escaping from their ears. C.C. could not help but laugh at the reaction she saw from the two. Jeremiah was trying to not laugh as a gentleman. Sayoko had a small smile on her face. Kallen and Lelouch were both glad that Milly was not here, but they were both scared at what would happen once she finds out. At a distance away, Milly suddenly developed a teasing grin appear on her face as if something had just happened and once, she finds out what it was, she was going to have so much fun. Back at Miyake, both Kallen and Lelouch had cold shivers run down their spines and felt fear.
As they were eating breakfast, they began talking about their plans when their head back to the past. Jeremiah was going to do what he could to provide some parts to Kallen to fix the Glasgow that she had piloted in the past. Kallen agreed that I make her feel better with fight in a proper fixed frame then one that was being held together by duct tape and hate. Kitsune had ill advised to Lelouch about killing the rest of the JLF at the docks. When Lelouch asked why, Kitsune had replied with saying if the remaining forces of the JLF could safely escape and make it to China. With Li Xingke help there could be a chance to have an extra bit of force for the Black Knights to fight against Britannia when the time comes. Lelouch had to agree with Kitsune was saying.
"If by some chance if the same situation that got Kallen capture. I would like to avoid, if possible," Kitsune said. Lelouch gave a bit of thought and then said, "Maybe I should set Tamaki to be a decoy to be capture to be given to Britannia." "Lelouch, that would be consider crude and unusual punishment to the Britannia. They would be subject to Tamaki's big mouth that he could never keep shut," Kallen said as she busted out laughing as she could just picture the look of the faces of the Britannia as they try to deal with Tamaki. Both C.C. and Lelouch shared a laugh as well with them being familiar with how much a pain Tamaki in the Black Knight. Both Jeremiah and Sayoko were given a run down on Tamaki and they agreed that would be punishment to anyone with dealing with Tamaki.
After breakfast, Kitsune had the five follow him to a fourth hanger. When they entered the hanger, the five would see that inside the hanger was pitch dark inside. "It had taking me some time to find and bring these here. I believe that these may prove useful when the proper time to use these in battle," Kitsune said as he made a motion to snap his fingers with his left hand. The moment of the snapping fingers was heard, the light came on to show what was covered in the darkness from before. It had taken a moment for the five eyes to adjust to the light coming on and when they could see properly, they were shocked by what they now saw in front of them. There were some Knightmare frames in front of them, but these were not just any frame. These were the Guren S.E.I.T.A.N. Eight Element, Shinkiro, Vincent, and the Sutherland Sieg with the core Sutherland unit for it. This was as redevelop frame by the Black Knight from the Britannia's Kight Giga Fortress Siegfried that was piloted by V.V. when Lelouch led an attack against the Geass Order hidden base in China.
"When I go to get Li Xingke, I will bring his Shen Hu here. I believe it would be such a waste to not bring these along for the fights. I don't think yall should use this right away. It would be best to save these as a trump card. This will also allow Rakahata some time to either study the tech on both the Guren and Vincent or maybe even improve on them to give the Britannia some real trouble," Kitsune said with a smile. Kallen could not help but think that once she can improve her skill with the new Guren, she will bring the hurt to Suzaku in battle. Lelouch had to agree with Kitsune on not using these to soon when they back to the past and to make sure they decide bith when and where to use them. Lelouch also best that if maybe best to get their hands on any other Knightmare frames that they can. "Now that this is out of the way. Let get today training underway," Kitsune said as the others nodded their heads. Soon the six left the hanger as the lights went off to cover the frames in darkness once again.
