Heya! It's my first Code Geass story… It takes place after episode 9 of first series (now that R2 is out) and there will be some deviances from story…
P.S I'm not English, so there may be some mistakes…
P.P.S 1) " " – normal speech 2) " " – thoughts or quotations of other characters.
Rated M for safety… just in case…
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Code Geass or Code Geass R2 or any associated
characters…etc, etc….
Turn 01:The Warlock
Lelouch Lamperouge, know to his band of rebels as "Zero" sighed.
It just wasn't his day. Not that it was awfully bad, but nether the less, managing country-wide rebellion, organizing anti-dealer raids and getting new equipment for the Order of Black Knights is a bit tiring. Nothing that a few cups of coffee wouldn't fix though.
But Lelouch never liked coffee.
As he walked inside one of the Order's many storehouses, he finally reached place where their little gift was located.
The Guren Nishiki.
It was a pretty impressive weapon. " Hmmm… they say that it can match up to any Britannian Knightmare… I still wonder why Kyoto send it to us. For some test? To see if we would use it openly in war against Britannia? How simple can people get nowadays"?
The rest of his musings was interrupted by familiar, arrogant voice:
"Have you decided who will pilot it? Or do you want to do it yourself?" said C.C , while toying with lock of her green hair.
Lelouch sighed. "C.C, How often did I insisted that you stay home?"
C.C shrugged."I've lost count after 4996 "
"Never mind… As for who will pilot… I believe that Kallen will be excellent choice. She has more Knightmare piloting and fighting experience than anyone else, me including. Plus, she's very dedicated to Zero persona and to the Black Knights…" Continued Lelouch determined to ignore arrogance and superiority of C.C's voice. Temper was a precious commodity when dealing with green-haired witch.
C.C shrugged again. "Yes, she's loyal to Zero… but certainly not to you. I don't think that pissing off your most dear subordinate, even if she doesn't know that it's you, is good for your health…"
"And what are you suggesting than? Invite her to tea party and tell her: "Hey, I'm your beloved leader and son of Britannian Emperor and 11th prince of Britannia!". Somehow I doubt that it'll work…" Huffed Lelouch .
C.C just turned around on her feet. "I don't know. It's for you to figure it out isn't it? But try to see it from… more… optimistic perspective Mr. High-and-Mighty"
Lelouch raised his eyebrow, thought (luckily perhaps) mask hidden his face from outside world.
"You implying?" He asked trying to keep cool.
"Kallen is good looking, strong, fascinating… and you're a young growing boy… and she's young growing girl. Don't tell me that you never…"
"Enough!" Shrieked Lelouch, glad that his mask have hidden his blush "I get the picture you…" By now, however C.C was gone. Lelouch suppressed another sigh and got underway… after all he had a rebellion to run.
Later that day:
Kallen was tired. Her day didn't started off well, as she learned that her mother was given 10 years (+ 5 months of accelerated withdrawal therapy) for usage of drug called "Refrain"
" 10 years" Thought Kallen desperately "For next 10 years I won't see her… maybe… maybe if I was kinder to her… maybe it wouldn't happen… maybe.."
" Kallen? Is everything all right?" Kallen nearly jumped hearing that voice. The voice of Zero, the man she admired at most.
"Nnno, everything's fine…" She replied trying to keep her emotions under control, and hoping that she wouldn't' do something foolish.
"Are you sure? As you're our best pilot, it's my… duty to look after your well being" Replied Zero. Little did Kallen know, that the man under the mask, Lelouch was grinning and blushing like mad at the same time.
"It's just that my mother received her sentence today. She had been given 10 years in area 11 prison" Added Kallen in hushed (and emotional) voice.
"My apologies"
"No it's not your fault!" Kallen exclaimed. Than she added " And after school I had… a heated debate with my fellow student. He said, "It's easy to live by bowing your head to the Britannians". I slapped him than… But now… I think… that… that he was right.
After what seemed like eternity Zero spoke
"And why do you think he said that?"
Kallen's eyes widened. She had never asked him that. Hell, she didn't even consider it. Before she had a chance to pull her thoughts together, Zero spoke again, albeit in unnatural… almost… "warm" tone:
"People are complicated creatures Kallen… under the … mask… you can find a lot … Maybe even a kindred spirit. Think about it. Before she had responded Zero walked away, leaving Kallen behind.
Under the mask, Lelouch Lampourge Vi Britannia was grinning.
"It's a check now… Than let's see if it'll be a check-mate…"
Next: Turn 02: The Red Queen's flight.
Author Notes:
First chapter is out… I have second already planned out. I hope that it'll be (hopefully) longer and more interesting…. Eh, me and my low self-esteem…
Ahem anyway…
Reviews and constructed criticism welcome. Constructive I say!
And one more thing: Do you want Jeremiah (a.k.a Orange-kun) on side of Black Knights or on the Britannian? As for you Anti-Suzaku fans, don't worry; I have a fiery doom waiting for him (And new Knightmare frame to grind him into dust too!).
See you soon!
