A/N: So I'm doing a new project as you all can see well enough, I've got two main idea's of how to set it all up in my head, this is one of them, both version's will have idea's from a few Fanfic's from other Geass Stories that sadly are pretty much dead at this point in time, however I have no intent of ending up having these idea's of mine ending up with the same fate. Even if it'll take a few year's, the only way these stories are going to be dead is if I say I let them die myself. I know it sound's a bit morbid when I put it like that, but I want to make sure everyone who read's this can understand it, of course I should inform you all that these stories of mine are going to be AU to some varying Degree. How much so I can't say just yet since I'm working out the finer detail's in my head as I go about all of this, all you need to know is that I don't plan on having it all end like canon, whatever that might be, also I might take some idea's/concept's from different side material's/spin-off's and use where I find fitting, although granted I'm not an expert of Code Geass, so if anyone want's to help with filling out some details then by all mean's leave a review and the like for me to know! Now that I've got that out of the way let's get this started!
Code Geass: Specter of the Rebellion
Prologue.
An ending of one story, and the start of a new one.
He was Exhausted.
Not simply in a Physical sense, though with the state of his body was in it certainly wasn't that hard.
No, his exhaustion was beyond the mere physical, indeed it was more than even a mental exhaustion, although with what he's dealt with over the course of his life it was not that hard either.
No, the exhaustion he felt was one that dragged at his very SOUL.
Or what he supposed could pass for it in his state.
The man was simply put, old. And not just in a physical matter either.
No, his age was more so to do with everything else but the Physical part.
He had seen a fair bit in his life, at first it was simply from a distance, event's that occurred far away from him, but then over time thing's started get a bit closer to him, closer than most people would prefer.
He knew of the argument's, the conflict's of interest that the masses had with each other. Of those who claimed to be against authoritarianism, yet the thing's they demanded of people showed them to be hypocrite's of the highest degree. And he also knew of those who wished for simpler action's, who disapproved of the former, and wanted thing's to be like the 'good old day's' as some of the more nostalgic among them said at time's.
They are all a bunch of idiot's he thought.
They focused on such trivial and useless issue's and matter's and concern's. Thing's like 'What is Gender good for?' or 'Should citizen's be allowed to bear arm's?' or one he found annoying above all else 'should we allow people who come here illegally equal right's and status as those who come via proper method's?'
That last one he thought in particular was dumb, if only because what good is letting other's come to a nation that can't even support it's own legal populace?
Honestly, the idea of building a way doesn't really do much either, simple people with either just go around it, or fly over it. Or if they try to be really crafty, dig under it.
But he really didn't care about those issue's, he figured that such thing's didn't matter in the end, refer to yourself whatever you will, doesn't change the fact that you'll just end up going to the same grave's as all of the other's around you, that you are still a human being in form if nothing else.
He thought about what would come after his life, not so much the afterlife mind you, but rather what sort of world that the people of the future would inherit...
Would it be better than the one he left behind?
Would the people still fight over petty thing's such as stupid ideologies and the one's who act as if they are gospel truth?
Would there be anyone even ALIVE to witness such an aftermath?
The last two he wound up getting an answer to at least, while people still fought over thing's, at least it wasn't over thing's like hard undeniable truth's like biology and basic science that anyone can agree on. And at least people where alive, even if the one's who believed such crazy thing's wound up dead due to their denial of common sense and reality.
He couldn't say that the world he would leave would be better than the one before, but it wasn't his place to bring about a wide. sweeping change of the world, there where other's who'd do that on their own, and he was okay with that, all he had to do was just watch it all unfold...
But that time was nearing it's end, and he held no real issue about it.
Most folk's would be afraid of death, but he never really feared it, more like he welcomed it, like an old friend...
Of course most would think he was trying to be poetic and classy trying to quote someone, but they would be wrong.
Death had been around him before, back when to the world he was barely a week old, born earlier at such a point that he should have been dead.
Thing is, for a few time's he was. Not that he knew what went on of course, he was an infant in body, but his soul on the other hand...
He never really bothered trying to figure out what went on back then with himself, it wasn't so much as he denied it, he just never placed a big deal about it, he had a good enough idea of what went on anyhow.
The fact of the matter was, the life one could say that he's 'lived' to this point was to simply see how much he could endure. A test of sort's for what come's after.
One could say that Death had not bothered to claim him because he needed to endure the hardship's of this world to ensure he could be ready for whatever path's he might walk. Although granted, it's not so much that he'd only take one path at a time as it is he'd end up being going on all of them at the same time.
The interaction's of higher dimensional plane's causing one to take all option's at once and be split among an infinite number of way's is something almost no one could really grasp.
Everyone except for himself that is, and one other that he had never got to meet, but know's to exist, even if he'd be considered mad by the world...
He didn't have anyone around to see him off. His parent's had already passed on, yet he felt only that they had lived good enough live's considering everything, and hoped that they might see each other again, even if they aren't his parent's, then at least as people he care's for, or at least for his soul to do so.
There where no Children or grandchildren for him to have around, he would only ever do so with the one who'd be his twin flame, what most people mistakenly refer to as a 'soulmate', in truth Soulmate's are friend's you have across lifetime's and instances, a Twin Flame is the one who you love and find yourself with no matter what time or life you live in...
Yet for the test in this life he wouldn't be able to be with her, he knew it'd be a 'her' because of how only a woman could equal out his own soul, a woman who held a fair amount of strength and will of her own to support him in his hardest event's, and for him to her in equal measure. It wasn't the case for everyone, for it wasn't so much the body one was in, it was the essence or 'soul' that was important.
Although if he was being honest, his body wasn't that to fit or able to show what his soul was truly like, yet he know that was also a part of the test that he (and undoubtedly she) had been put through. Nor was his body physically fit or well enough maintained in such... 'Key area's' so as to ensure she would be treated as befitting one who would be his equal, much less appeal to any woman (or man for that matter) with his state...
Although it would explain why he never really felt much of an urge to have a family proper, he'd only have it with the one woman who was his equal...
And how he never really felt much of an urge of any kind, aside from his body just reacting on autopilot from stimulation at least. And people thought he just didn't care about such thing's at all, as if he were more like a machine than anything else...
Of course those who where close to him knew that he did feel, and that in fact he felt a lot from other's, the only reason why he kept away was mostly due to how he didn't want to risk getting overwhelmed by it all!
He didn't really have any friend's either, while he held on to them deeply, he never tried to drag them to see him, he's the only one among them still alive now, they all left on their own time's, but they still held them in their memories till their last moment's, he made sure to be their for all of them if he could. And now that it was his time, he was by himself.
His extended family wished him well, all matter of cousin's and their kid's, he was an only child, so no immediate niece's and nephew's (or any of their kid's for that matter) for him, but even still he was to pass on all alone and you know what?
He was perfectly fine with that...
He knew when it happened, didn't bother going over the details, it just happened, and he felt a sense of ease within his soul, no longer having a run down body that didn't do much weighing him down.
So it didn't really shock him when he saw a figure in front of him, it looked to be more a mass of energy than anything else, having no real physical form to refer to.
"Well, you passed if nothing else. Good on you!" It 'spoke' to him, sounding with a rather welcoming tone that held no lies or hiding of the truth.
He knew what this was, he had long theorized the idea of what it was, and he had been proven true with what he saw now.
"So, you ready to finally live a real life?" It spoke, even though they both knew the answer to it already, he didn't need to say a word, just give a mere nod to it.
"Excellent! Now I'm sure you have a good idea on how this work's, all I'm going to say is, you won't have to die alone anymore, and I don't need to give you any luck, you'll do fine!" It said, having known what he thought up, since it was the core part of his soul that all of the various aspect's of him that would live across the infinite expanse of possibility had as the origin of him, that made him what he was at the most basic level, the underlying 'code' of a soul if you will...
As he began to split and go into all kind's of different realm's, he noticed the one who was his twin flame do so as well, and she was as every bit glorious as he knew she was...
And then he found himself as an Infant once again, having been just born and cleaned, opening his eye's for the first time in this new life, he saw the woman who was his mother now, with black hair and violet eyes, and a man who he knew to be his father with sandy brown hair and dark purple eye's, the woman who held him was a green haired woman with golden eye's, he knew who the identities of all of them were. Yet he could tell that thing's would not end up as they had, the man's look of pride was true, and his soul spoke of a man who did not believe in having time be halted and have all of humanity made equal by destroying that which made us different and separate, and the new mother's own soul spoke of the same feeling's, of simply wishing to having her family be in a peace that they could all feel to be right and to see the world go on into a grand age like never before seen. And the Green Haired woman who held him seemed to take a liking to him, and it was apparent in her own soul that the request she held was not one demanding mere death, but that she only wished to be able to feel happy with herself and that if she were to finally die, then it would be with a smile and with those who cared for her.
"He's such a beautiful young boy" His father said.
"Indeed he is." His mother spoke, before taking on a look of pain as if he were not the only one to be born this day.
"Easy there, just like before alright then girl?" The lady spoke, handing him to his father while she was ready for the next one to come into the world.
Thankfully it did not take long, and soon a girl was brought into the world, he knew the soul of the girl, it was the one of a girl who died in his place when he was born in his old life, as if she took it upon herself to ensure that he would live and that she would accompany him in this new life.
"And what will be their name's then young girl?" The lady spoke.
"The boy will be Lelouch, and the girl's name will be Nunnally." The proud mother of two spoke.
"Lelouch and Nunnally, I have no doubt you both will be strong children and will do our family proud. Or my name isn't George Lux Britannia!" The father said with a loud yet proud voice.
"And you're the Godmother C.C. no if's and's or but's" His mother added, to the slight protest of the lady (or rather witch as she was known at time's)
'So I guess that I won't end up having to kill my parent's at least, that's a good thing for me a Nunnally at-'
'Wait, WHAT! GEORGE LUX Britannia! C.C. IS MY GOD MOTHER! AND NUNNALLY IS THE SAME AGE AS ME?!' the now infant realized with a shock.
And it was at this moment the newly born Lelouch Lux Britannia wound up crying, though his mother think's it's because of how loud his father just was, while C.C. is still trying to make sense that she is now a Godmother.
And Nunnally Lux Britannia only gave a few giggle's that an infant give's at the whole thing.
All the while a Figure looked on and simply gave a smirk, and thought to himself 'well, this should be a LOT of fun for sure'.
A/N: And that's it for this chapter! So as I'm sure you all can tell right now thing's are going the VERY different from canon, a lot of thing's will be the same in some regard's but other's will quite different. The age gap between Lelouch and Nunnally, and of how their parent's are NOT interested in Ragnarok or ending the world and C.C. being not so interested in just dying by any mean's are but SOME of the plan's I have in mind for this story to stand out! And before you ask, no the figure is NOT V.V. but rest assured he will make his appearance, and I enjoy it when he meet's his end for certain. As to who the figure is. All I'm going to say is that they are fully original, also Lelouch's Father IS V.V. full brother, but the Name he has and the one he was born with are NOT the same, in fact. If you can guess the reason why that is the case, I'll give you a shout out in the next chapter! But for now I'll leave you all be! Make sure to leave a Review! And Till next time!
