Act Six - Part 2 (Introductions)

Flashback - Six Hours Ago

Kallen stood in front of a pair of big blue doors sweating up a storm. When Lelouch told her that he had been planning on doing this, she had not thought it would be in front of a big crowd. Credit these were mainly military and a few nobles like her father and all of them were sworn to secrecy, but she was worried this would be leaked to the Black Knights. If that were to happen, their whole plan would fall apart. This had not been Lelouch's idea either as they wanted to be as discreet as possible. This was all Cornelia's idea; and notably Kallen understood why but still.

Kallen felt a hand being placed on her shoulder which instantly made her jump and turn around to see a smirking C.C. "Witch!"

"Hello to you too Kallen, ready to hold up your end of our deal?"

"Like I hadn't been for the past year or so. My body has gone through more pain in the past year than it did my whole life and that included a war."

"I will remind you, it was you who wanted to make yourself more powerful for him, you didn't have to do those rituals." After C.C. was done, Kallen made the markings all along her body to glow a bright red before disappearing once more.

"Yeah, but I could only bring myself back and that was only a few days, that would not have been enough to save Nunnally."

C.C. looked down balled her hand into a fist. "I know. The fact we never found out who did really pisses me off. She was sweet and innocent, she didn't deserve that." Now it was Kallen's turn to put her hand on C.C. should which made the immortal look up, tears in her eyes.

"We are here now and can protect everyone and that definitely includes Nunnally." Kallen then grabbed C.C.'s face and brought it close to her in a hug. "We have our friends and our Lelouch, everything will be alright."

C.C. looked at Kallen before smiling in giving her a quick kiss on the cheek. "Yeah you are right, thanks Kallen." She smiled again and let go of the red haired girl, letting her see this rare side of the witch Lelouch and her had come to love so much.

That soon faded away to the smirking face once more as C.C. walked past Kallen and opened the side door to the chamber where Lelouch was waiting. She did hear C.C. say.

"By the way, you look stunning." Kallen let a blush fill her cheeks. She had made her hair more wavy and pulled it all to the left side. This was to make this appearance completely different from the rest of her other looks. This was a new stage in her life and she wanted to change with it.

Her outfit was very similar to that bitch Villetta's outfit as she was wanting something formal looking that can be easily removed to reveal the knightmare outfil under it. She wore a red sleeveless jacket with a gray button up shirt with a black tie. On her shirt collar, she had an enamel button of the Britannian flag on one side and on the other side was a pin with Lelouch's eye logo on it. This pin would show who was truly loyal to Lelouch.

On her arms she wore her regular arm sleeves as she wanted to keep on part from her past. She had a sword on her hip as well. To wrap up the look was a black mini skirt and black thigh boot covers overtop of red boots.

With Lelouch in the Hall.

Lelouch sat in a throne room with some nobles, military including a curtain purplette, and some media he had geass ahead of time.

He needed to make sure none this leaked out into the public, but they also need this to be covered and be shown to the people of Japan. While Cornelia knows of Kallen's origins, the rest of the military needed to know that she not only was she part Japanese, but also the famed Red Lotus they had been fighting for months. Lelouch also needed this to be seen by his father.

Lelouch didn't even notice Cornelia walk up to him until she tapped him on his shoulder.

"Are you sure she can be trusted. She has killed many of my men and deserves to be hung for what she has done,hell the same can be said for you Lelouch." Cornelia had not taken the news well that not only was his soon to be knight half Japanese, but the red knightmare that has embarrassed her.

"Yes Cornelia, she is loyal to me and where I go she goes. Remember you are the one that wanted me to become your sub visroy"

Cornelia glared at Lelouch. "I rather have my brother be an ally, not a terrorist. You could have helped with the mountain of paperwork."

"Like I said sister, this was your idea." In reality this was exactly what Lelouch wanted, but she didn't need to know that.

"Well shall we begin?" Cornelia asked him which he gave her a nod. Cornelia walked over to the security to open up the doors so they could get started.

The doors opened and Lelouch's breath was taken away by Kallen's look. She walked through the doors and all he could do was stare.

Kallen walked forward past all the nobles and her father and kneeled in front of her Emperor Lelouch Vi Britannia, who was leading the ceremony.

"Former Ace of the Black Knight Kallen Kozuki Stadtfeld Wilt thou, upon this day, pledge thy fealty to Britannia, and stand as a Knight of the Crown?" An audible gasps was heard from the gathered people as Lelouch spoke.

Leouch's voice boomed loud and proud in the chamber room, his nervousness he had previously was now gone as the woman who stole his heart kneeled before him. This was a site that he would have never thought he would see, but Kallen is the one who brought up being his knight.

"Yes, your Highness." Her voice was soft, but confident, She was being respectful as infront of this crowd, he was her superior and not his equal.

"Does thy wish to abandon thy self, and be sword and shield for the sake of the greater good?"

"Yes, your Highness."

"After this day, you will be the second knight with Japanese blood. Be honored and serve both of your people well." Lelouch smiled as he put his little jab to his father.

Kallen unsheathed her sword and presented it to Lelouch who walked forwards and grabbed it from his soon to be knight. Lelouch then presented the sword in an upright position before tapping both of Kallen's shoulders gently.

"I, Lelouch Vi Britannia, do hereby dub thee Kallen Stadtfeld as my personal knight, may your courage and devotion become a shining example to the people of the Empire." Lelouch let out a breath as he said his final part. He didn't let the audience see his nervousness as he had a role to play and with showing on tv tomorrow, he needed to make his appearance seem as powerful, but gentle as possible.

Lelouch handed the sword back to Kallen who sheathed it back to its scabbard. Lelouch looked down at his new knight and love with a smile as he allowed Kallen to stand again and turn to the audience. As customary to the knighting ceremony, the audience cheered loudly for the new appointed knight. Kallen's dad stood there with tears in his eyes as he clapped for his daughter. He had never thought this would have happened to one of his children. After he had lost his son, Kallen became his everything and while she might not have known it, he worked hard so she didn't have to. But now he watched as his daughter fell behind the newly found prince and he couldn't help but be so proud.

"Now my knight, is there anything you would like to say." Lelouch walked toward the camera before moving to the side to let Kallen speak.

"Yes your majesty, for the last 17 years of my life, I have hated this side of myself. I always felt like an outcast and want to help anyway I can. The Black Knights to me were that way out, to help the people I believe needed helping. That was until I met you. You taught me I can make this world better by not dividing it, but bring it together." She smiled as she looked into the camera. "I ask the people to help us make the world into a gentler one that everyone can be in."

Kallen bowed as she stepped behind Lelouch as it was not only Kallen's introduction, but his as well.

"Thank you Kallen, that was wonderfully said. My name is Lelouch Vi Britannia and I am your new sub visroy. Now as you might have heard of, Princess Euphemia has stepped down as sub visroy and the crown to on schooling and other personal matters. That being said, Cornelia ask me to become the sub visroy as I have lived here for most of my life."

"I want to make it one thing very clear, just because I love this land doesn't mean I will not stand up to rebellion. The Black Knights have killed innocent men, women and children in there crusade to free Japan. However they have killed their own people and even friends and family of people I know. I will not stand for this. From this moment forward this ends now. Cornelia has agreed with me to go after and crush you."

A/N Thank you so much everyone for reading this part of my story and I hope you have enjoyed it. I will be blunt, I had lost interest in this story for the longest time between my mother passing away, finishing college and having two jobs. I was listening to some anime music as I am planning on writing a My Hero fic and then Colors by Flow popped on and got the nostalgia for Code Geass flowing.

I did watch the movie in theaters and loved it. It is funny as Shamna's geass is almost exactly what I had planned for Kallen's geass in this story so I am still running with that idea. Also you can bet Lelouch is going to talk to the Kingdom of Zilkhistan in this story as I think they can be very neat.

Now when should you expect the next update? It won't be for maybe a month or so. Reason is I am working on my artwork so I can have an impressive portfolio. So the next chapter will happen afterwards. If you HAVE any questions please message me.

P.S. I have thought about rewriting this story, which if I do I would abandon this one for the reboot. It will be updated quicker and to me would be the best for this story, but I wanted to ask you my readers.
