A/N: Hello to all, I am back with chapter seven of "Code Vendetta" and I am so thankful to everyone. At the end of this, I'll explain my next works. In this chapter, it all comes to an end.
Disclaimer: I don't own Code Geass or V for Vendetta
It was a blistering summer day in Britannia where chaos had consumed the country. Pro-Zero guerrillas had risen up and were now attacking Pendragon. The Imperial Family had foolishly believed that the populace would support them but, the general population (sick of being ruled by a small percentage of the most powerful) had rallied around Zero and were headed toward the Pendragon Imperial Palace having all ready sacked Warwick Palace. The Army was currently trying to hold them back on St. Darwin Boulevard while three of the Imperial siblings were currently discussing their dire situation.
"What the hell are we going to do?" asked Guinevere su Britannia.
"There is still time for us to flee." answered Carine ne Britannia.
"But, we have to know where to flee." noted Guinevere.
"We can go to Euro Britannia." suggested Carine.
"The EU would never let us back." spat Guinevere.
"We could make them." replied Carine, taking delight in the idea.
"With the current status of the EU, we could take advantage to relocate there." mused Guinevere.
"What do you think Odysseus?" asked Carine.
"I don't know." answered Odysseus depressed.
"Get over it!" snapped Guinevere.
"How can I. We've used our people for years and now we're going to do." replied Odysseus.
"Those lowly scum need to learn their place in life!" snapped Carine.
Suddenly, the door burst open and Alicia Lohmeyer rushed in.
"Any news from our father?" asked Guinevere.
"He has gone to Area 11 to deal with Zero personally." answered Alicia.
"Dammit, we need him here." said Carine.
"We have a bigger problem, the rebel forces have broken through our defenses." stated Alicia.
Both Guinevere and Carine didn't bother hiding their frustration while Odysseus remained defeated.
"Prince Schniezel has declared will escape in the Avalon to Australia where we will request political asylum." explained Alicia.
"What about the Toromo Agency?" asked Carine.
"The terrorist government has nationalized it." answered Alicia.
"Fine. Let's go." said Guinevere.
Guinevere grabbed Odysseus and left with Carine and Alicia. Outside, the Britannian Army under Lt. Col. Fayer trying to hold them back. Suddenly, a large shadow blocked out the sky.
"What's that?" asked Alicia.
Everyone looked up and saw a large Knightmare Frame in the sky. A winged custom Knightmare with a royal purple color scheme sat above them. It had a MVS sword on it's hip and a machine gun in it's right hand.
"It's the Bedivere!" cried Carine.
"Dame Enneagram has returned." said Guinevere smiling.
("I am back.") said Nonnette over her radio.
The Bedivere turned and began moving toward the rebels and aimed it's guns but, to the horror of the Britannian royals it turned and opened fire on the Britannian forces killing them.
"What is she doing?!" cried Carine.
The Bedivere pulled out it's MVS Sword and drove it into the Avalon. The shipped exploded killing everyone on board including Lt. Col. Fayer. The Bedivere landed and exited her Knightmare Frame with a sword in hand.
"Dame Enneagram, what is the meaning of this of this treasonous activity?" asked Guinevere.
Nonette didn't answer. Instead, she turned and used her sword to slash Carine in the chest killing her.
"God!" cried Guinevere, seeing her sister killed before her.
Nonette stared coldly at her causing Guinevere to run away. Alicia drew a handgun but, Nonette turned and impaled Alicia with her sword killing Miss Lohmeyer. Nonette then turned and chased down Guinevere until the Second Princess tripped and fell down.
"Please, spare me." begged Guinevere.
Nonette didn't answer, instead raising her sword above her own head. Nonette swung down in one fierce movement and decapitated Guinevere. Nonette then turned around and walked back to the frozen Odysseus.
"Do what you will." said the First Prince.
"I'm not going to kill you. My lord has ordered you kept alive." stated Nonette.
A surprised Odysseus took a moment before the surprise ended.
"Who are you working for?" asked Odysseus.
Nonette whispered the answer to the First Prince.
"It can't be." said Odysseus stunned.
"It is." said Nonette smiling.
"What of the monarchy?" asked Odysseus.
"My lord already planned this." answered Nonette.
A transport supporting Nonette arrived at the palace ground. Once the door opened, a familiar girl in a wheelchair came out.
"Hello my brother." said Nunnally.
In Tokyo Settlement, Britannian control over what they called Area 11 was slipping away. In the city, the crumbling Britannian Imperial Army tried to hold back the Black Knights. Sir Bismarck Waldstein was controlling the Dame Ernst and Dame Kruszewski on ether side. Dam Ernst was battling Asahina, Dame Kruszewski was battling Chiba and Sir Waldstien was battling Tohdoh.
"Hold on. If we can defeat these forces, the city is ours!" declared Tohdoh.
"Hold on and smash these rebel scum!" cried Bismarck.
Suddenly, the Galahad began flashing as emergency signals blared. Looking at his map, Bismarck saw one unidentified Knightmare easily cutting through the Britannian forces.
"Dammit! They've outflanked us!" cried Monica.
Suddenly, a large orange sky fortress appeared. It turned fired its missiles from it's six missile launchers and whipped out the Britannian Knightmare Frames. Bismarck quickly recognized it as the stolen Siegfried.
"Who are you?" asked Bismarck.
("It's a pleasure to meet you Lord Waldstien.") answered a voice.
"Lord Jeremiah Gottwald!" exclaimed Dorothea.
("I have come to kill you.") stated Jeremiah.
Suddenly, Jeremiah attacked surprising the three Knights of the Round.
"You traitor!" screamed Dorothea.
"In the name of Emperor Charles zi Britannia, we will kill you!" exclaimed Monica.
The two Knights of the Round attacked but, Jeremiah easily dodged their attack. Monica and Dorothea followed him while Bismarck tried to hold off the rebels.
"Naive fools." scoffed Jeremiah.
Dorothea fired her missiles at Jeremiah but, he dodged and dive bombed Dorothea. Before the Knight of 4 could react, Jeremiah used the Slash Harkens on the Siegfried to tear Dorothea's Knightmare Frame apart killing her.
"You'll pay for that!" screamed Monica.
The Knight of 12 attacked but, again Jeremiah easily dodged the attacks. The Siegfried turned sideways and began to spin like a top. Monica tried to escape but, the Siegfried connected and ripped her Knightmare Frame apart killing Monica.
"That just leaves you Sir Waldstein.."
"Treacherous scum." spat Bismarck.
"Now I will prove my loyalty!" declared Jeremiah.
Jeremiah attacked the Galahad forcing Bismarck to fall back. Jeremiah followed while the Japanese watching surprise.
"General Tohdoh, what should we do sir?" asked Asahina.
Tohdoh mused this new development for a moment.
"For now, we continue our advance. This oppertunity is far too good to advance." answered Tohdoh.
The Japanese rebels continued their advance as an evenly matched Jeremiah and Bismarck dueled in the skies over Tokyo. The Galad fired the Slash Harkens from his fingers but, the Siegfried dodged.
Jeremiah retaliated by firing his own Slash Harkens but, Bismarck's Excalibur released it's energy shield and blocked them.
"This is exactly what I expected from the Knight of 1." mused Jeremiah.
Jeremiah turned the Siegfried sideways and attacked like a top again as Gawain swung with his sword. The Excalibur connected with Siegfried which triggered an explosion. The Excalibur shattered and fell to the ground while both Knightmare Frames were crippled by the blast.
The Galahad crashed to the ground with a severely injuried Bismarck inside. Jeremiah jumped out of the Siegfried and landed on the ground unharmed. Looking at him, Bismarck was shocked by what he saw.
"You're...a...cyborg." said Bismarck weakly.
"You can thank my lord for that." replied Jeremiah.
Bismarck tried to stand but, Jeremiah drew his blade and with one swing her killed the Knight of 1.
"Nobody will stand in the way of my loyalty." stated Jeremiah.
Meanwhile, Sir Bradley and his Valkyrie Squadron were battled addition Black Knights. Tamaki was easily defeated (again) this time by Sir Bradley while Sugiyama, Inoue, Yoshitaka and Yoshida were defeated by the Valkyrie Squadron. Yoshida had been killed by Marika Soersei while Inoue was killed by Liliana Vergamon. Now a panicked Oghi was fending off Sir Bradley.
"Oh man." said a panicked Oghi.
The Oghi tried to flee but, Sir Bradley clipped the float system of his Knightmare Frame to crash. Oghi found himself surrounded on all sides by the four Valkyrie Squadron members. The four Valkyrie Squadron members used their Slash Harkens to lift Oghi into the air.
"What do people value most?" asked Bradley, with a sadistic smile on his face.
"Naoto. I'm sorry." said Oghi, accepting his death.
"There life!" declared Bradley.
Bradley moved in to kill Oghi but, suddenly, a bright red flash interrupted Bradley. In a matter of seconds, the four Valkyrie Squadron members were killed while the Guren rescued Oghi.
"So the Black Knights ace has arrived." said Bradley, with a twisted smile on his faced.
Sir Bradley attacked with his energy lance but, Kallen grabbed the lance with Guren's right arm and ripped it off. Kallen then used her right hand to grab the head of the Percival.
"What do people value most?" asked Kallen.
"I can't be defeated by an Eleven!" cried Bradley.
"Their lives!" cried Kallen.
Kallen then activated the radiant wave surger which caused the Percival to explode killing Sir Bradley. Kallen quickly grabbed her radio.
"Oghi, are you okay?" asked Kallen.
"A little beat up but, I'm fine." answered Oghi.
"I have to rendezvous with Zero." stated Kallen.
"No problem Kallen." said Oghi.
Kallen raced off but, as she headed for Zero a thought crossed into her mind. Kallen took a detour and headed to the mansion her stepmother and biological mother lived in. Upon arriving, Kallen exited the Guren and saw a troubling sight: the mansion doors had been ripped off their hinges. Running inside, she found the mansion had been completely ransacked. Kallen reached her mother's room and nervously knocked on the door.
"Go away! There is nothing here to take!" cried Ms. Kouzaki.
"Mom, it's me." said Kallen.
Kallen heard her mother move and twenty seconds later the door opened.
"Kallen, I'm so glad to see you." said Ms. Kouzaki, hugging her daughter.
"What happened?" asked Kallen.
"The other servants ransacked the house when they found out the Black Knights were in the city." answered Ms. Kouzaki.
"But, why did you stay?" asked Kallen.
"Because of you." answered Ms. Kouzaki.
Ms. Kouzaki looked at her daughter and just noticed the jumpsuit she was wearing.
"Kallen, is that a Knightmare Frame pilot's suit?" asked Ms. Kouzaki.
"Yes. I am the Black Knights ace." answered Kallen.
"You aren't the old one with a secret." sighed Ms. Kouzaki sadly.
Ms. Kouzaki rolled up her up her sleeves revealing both arms covered in tract marks.
"Please don't tell me you've been using Refrain." requested Kallen.
"It's the only way I've been able to cope." said Ms. Kouzaki.
Tears rolled down Kallen's eyes as she embraced her mother.
"It's okay mom. Once Japan is free, we'll get you help." said Kallen.
"I will get clean." vowed Ms. Kouzaki.
"We it looks like you've come back." came a snide voice.
Kallen let go of her mother and turned to face her Britannian stepmother.
"I guess you could never stay away from that lousy junkie." huffed Mrs. Statdfeld.
"Don't talk about my mother like that!" snapped Kallen.
"You are no better than that worthless brother of yours." said Mrs. Statdfeld with disgust.
"Don't insult my brother either!" cried Kallen.
"That worthless rat is better off dead." huffed Mrs. Statdfeld.
Kallen had enough and punched her stepmother out.
"Kallen!" exclaimed Ms. Kouzaki.
"I'm sorry mother but, I had to do it." said Kallen.
Ms. Kouzaki closed her eyes and sighed.
"I love you Kallen." said Ms. Kouzaki.
"I love you too mom." said Kallen.
After one last hug, Kallen departed with her mother in the hand of the Guren. Kallen reached the location where Oghi was and left her mother there. After that, Kallen departed and raced off until she reached Zero's hideout. She raced inside and found Zero waiting for her.
"I'm here sir." said Kallen saluting.
"I knew you would return." said Zero.
In the Viceroy's Palace, an eerie silence encased the building. The soldiers were gone and the officials had either fled or they were re-located. However, one booming figure still loomed in the palaces. Emperor Charles zi Britannia was impatiently awaiting news of the battle. Suddenly, Schneizel walked into the room and bowed to his father.
"You majesty, we must flee immediately." said Schneizel.
"Why?" asked Charles skeptical.
"The rebels are advancing. it would not be safe." answered Schneizel.
"The capital has all ready fallen." noted Charles.
"We can gain political asylum in Australia." proposed Schneizel.
Charles mused for a moment.
"Okay." agreed Charles.
Meanwhile, the battle raged in and above Tokyo. The Lancelot, the Mordread and the Tristan were leading the Britannian forces and were cutting through the Japanese rebels. Currently; Gino was battling Asahina, Anya was battling Chiba and Suzaku was battling her former mentor Tohdoh. Suddenly, a blimp appeared on the Lancelot's radar so Suzaku turned and saw the Guren carrying Zero.
"Zero is on the move, I need to move." said Suzaku.
Gino dodged an attack by Asahina's MVS sword and countered with an attack of his own. Gino damaged the float system and forced Asahina to crash land.
"Go ahead." said Gino.
Suzaku left and Tohdoh followed suit. However, the Zangetsu was intercepted by the Tristan.
"You aren't going anywhere." said Gino.
The Guren arrived at an abandoned subway entrance. Zero ordered Kallen to rip off the boards covering it up and they went inside. Heading down to the station, they found a subway train loaded with explosives.
"Is this your plan?" asked Kallen.
"Yes. I'm going to use this to blow up the Viceroy's Palace." answered Zero.
"I understand." replied Kallen.
Zero turned and faced the down one of the tunnels.
"I need to leave for a moment. Stay here and guard the explosives." ordered Zero.
Zero departed and walked down the abandoned rails of the subway. He found the station he was looking for and saw Schneizel with Kanon next to him. Zero walked up to the Second Prince.
"It is nice to see you again." said Schneizel.
"Did you fulfill your end of our agreement?" asked Zero.
Schneizel snapped his fingers and his Royal Guard walked out holding Charles zi Britannia and gun point.
"So, my son has finally proven himself worthy, Lelouch." said Charles.
Zero chuckled and removed his mask. Kanon was shocked at the face he saw.
"It is true." stated Kanon.
"It's been far too long father." said Lelouch.
"Have you come for revenge?" asked Charles.
"Yes." answered Lelouch.
"You're a fool." laughed Charles.
"I know all about V.V. and your immortality." noted Lelouch.
Charles was overcome with shock and gave Lelouch an evil glare. However, Charles quickly regained his smirk.
"Then you know I cannot die." said Charles.
"Unless somebody takes your Code." noted Lelouch.
A Cheshire cat smile came to Lelouch's face as his Geass activated.
"Lelouch vi Britannia commands you, give me your Code!" cried Lelouch.
The command overcame Charles and, after some fighting, the Emperor caved. He walked over to Lelouch and placed his right hand on the former Seventeenth heir. After a few moments, Charles collapsed dead to the ground.
"Congratulations." sad Schneizel.
"You wanted to do the same." noted Lelouch.
"How will his death be explained?" asked Schneizel.
"Like this." answered Lelouch.
Lelouch drew a handgun, took aim and shot Charles in the head.
"Always thinking ahead. You haven't changed my brother." said Schneizel.
Schneizel turned to Kanon who raised his arm. The royal guard immediately took aim at Lelouch.
"I knew you would betray me." replied Lelouch.
"Men, lower your arms." ordered Schneizel.
"Your majesty, what are you doing?" asked Kanon surprised.
"I believe Lelouch and I should handle this face to face." answered Schneizel.
"You fool." said Lelouch to himself.
Lelouch quickly took aim and fired his gun. However, Schneizel grabbed Kanon by the arm and used him as a human shield. The bullet hit Kanon in the heart killing him.
"How pathetic!" snapped Lelouch.
"He was merely a pawn. I can always find another." shrugged Schneizel nonchalant.
Lelouch got angered over this and activated his Geass.
"Lelouch vi Britannia commands you, die!" ordered Lelouch.
The Geass overtook the all of the royal guard.
"Yes my lord!" cried the royal guard.
The royal guard took aim and either killed each other or themselves.
"Now we're all alone." said Schneizel content.
"I knew my Geass word not work on you but, if yo take the time to notice I am the one with a gun." replied Lelouch.
"I would not be so sure." said Schneizel.
Schneizel suddenly pulled out a gun of his own and aimed it Lelouch. To his surprise; Lelouch laughed, dropped his gun and held his arms out.
"Go ahead. Shoot." said Lelouch.
Schneizel paused trying to deduce what Lelouch was up to. Schneizel chuckled and began to smirk.
"I know what you are doing. I cannot kill you but, you will make a good lab rat." said Schneizel.
Schneizel pulled the trigger and emptied the cartridge putting bullets into Lelouch. A bloody Lelouch collapsed to the ground. Schneizel walked over to his brother and stomped on his mask in contempt. Upon reaching his brother, Schneizel bent down to pick his brother's body up.
"Goodbye brother." said Schneizel.
Schneizel grabbed his brother to pick him up but, the Second Prince suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck. Looking down, Schneizel saw Lelouch had stabbed him with a Kunai. The ninja weapon had pierced the Juglar vein causing Schneizel to cough blood. Schneizel collapsed dead on the ground.
"Thank you Sayoko." said Lelouch.
Lelouch got up and passed the corpse of Schneizel. The bloody Lelouch staggered back down the tunnel until he reached Kallen.
"Oh my God!" exclaimed Kallen, seeing her leader.
Kallen raced over and grabbed her bloody leader. A weak Lelouch slumped over in her arms.
"Zero, please speak to me!" cried Kallen.
"We must send the subway train." said Lelouch.
"Please...stay with me!" begged Kallen.
"Thank you Kallen. I am so glad that we met. Our meeting was not coincident." said Lelouch.
Kallen bent over and shared a passionate kiss with Lelouch.
"Yes. I...I...destroy...the world...and create it...anew." said Lelouch.
Lelouch closed his eyes and seemingly passed away. Kallen picked his body up and carried it over to the train. She placed his body in the middle of the explosives and walked back to send it off. However, somebody walked up on her.
"Freeze!" cried Suzaku, drawing his gun.
"So, the puppet is here." mused Kallen.
"I'm not going to let you carry this out." stated Suzaku.
"You cannot stop me." said Kallen.
Suzaku looked over and saw the bloody body of Zero.
"Lelouch." said Suzaku shaken.
"You know him?" asked Kallen surprised.
"He was an old friend." answered Suzaku.
Suzaku lowered his gun and took in everything.
"The revolution must finish." said Kallen.
Kallen activated the subway train. The train lite up and began to roll down the tracks.
Meanwhile, the pro-Zero forces were making their way through the city. The Britannian forces had either been killed, captured, fled or defected. Among the latter were Cornelia, Guilford and Darlton. They reached the outskirts of the Viceroy's Palace with Japanese and Britannians standing side by side. Among the crowd were Shirley, Rivalz and Nina.
"There a lot of Elevens here." said Nina.
"I think we should call them Japanese now." noted Rivalz.
"Probably." came a familiar voice.
The three turned around to see Euphie, Cornelia, Guilford and Darlton.
"Your highness." said Shirley, as the three bowed.
"That is not necessary." said Cornelia.
"I...Princess...Euphemia..." stammered Nina.
"I just wish Milly could be here." said Shirley sadly.
"Oh, maybe we are closer than you think." said a voice.
Everyone turned around to see Milly, Rolo and Sayoko standing there.
"Madam President!" cried Shirley.
"But, how did you survive?" asked Rivalz.
"Zero saved us." answered Rolo.
"You kidding!" cried Rivalz.
"No. He stopped the car and freed us." explained Sayoko.
"Thank you Lelouch." said Milly to herself.
Suddenly, a brown-skinned woman approached the group.
"Excuse me, have any of you seen Lord Gottwald?" asked Vileta.
"He was aiding us earlier." noted Tohdoh, walking up to Vileta.
Tohdoh and Cornelia stared at each other and shared nod showing respect for each other.
"I'm here." said Jeremiah, making his way through the crowd.
"Lord Jeremiah." said Vileta.
Vileta turned and saw Jeremiah's new appearance.
"Thanks to Lord Zero, I am now a cyborg." said Jeremiah, "Thankfully, Miss Sayoko was kind enough to house him while I underwent my transformation."
"It wasn't just helpful to you." said Sayoko flirtatiously.
"Jeremiah! You're in a relationship with...one of them." said Vileta.
"Chigusa." said a voice.
"Oh crap." said Vileta, her heart skipping a beat.
Oghi walked through the crowd and reached the group.
"It's you." said Oghi jubilent.
"Oh..hello Kaname." replied Vileta blushing.
'You were saying." said Jeremiah smiling.
Cecile Croomy walked through the crowd to the group.
"Excuse me, has one seen Suzaku?" asked Cecile.
"He's still in combat." answered Cornelia.
"I hope he's okay." said Cecile.
"Oh, I'm sure he's fine. That boy is quite the resilient one." said Lloyd, surprising everyone.
"Lloyd! I thought you were dead!" exclaimed Cecile.
"Zero and I faked my death. He never had an intention of killing me." replied Lloyd.
Suddenly, the clock struck midnight marking exactly one year since the assassination of Clovis. Suddenly, a massive explosion rocked Tokyo as the Viceroy's Palace was demolished.
"This is what he wanted. The death of the old order." noted Suzaku.
"We can never tell anyone is identity." said Kallen.
"Why?" asked Suzaku.
"So everyone can identify as him." answered Kallen.
As everyone watched the explosion, a raven haired teen walked through the streets of Tokyo. He found his green-haired
co-conspirator waiting for him.
"A little overkill if you ask me." said C.C.
"I didn't ask your opinion witch." replied Lelouch.
"So, where do we go now?" asked Lelouch.
"Euro Britannia. We can start our new lives there." answered Lelouch.
"That sounds fine to me." replied C.C.
A/N: There is the story finished. I am so glad I was able to finish this story rather than having it just be an idea I never carry out. My next story will be a one-shot with some universe building then I'll do a multichapter focusing on the people C.C. has meet in her life. Thanks for reading and please review.
