This is a rewrite of my Rose knightmare frame fanfic, while most wasn't changed some things will be different.
Normal POV [Earth]
Lelouch Vi Britannia was angry no worse he was pissed that bitch Guinevere broke Nunnally's doll and laughed something about not being real royalty calling her the commoner princess in her face Lelouch was angry nobody made his little sister cry he was going to make her pay.
Many may wonder why was Guinevere being mean to Nunnally well it was because most members of the imperial family hated them and by most that meant that 5 siblings really liked him as for the rest well he did have 100 stepmothers he heard that his father had a harem of 100 women for politics reasons, anyway the rest of the imperial family looked down on him and his sister because they didn't have a Noble title normally the emperor married a lot of women from nobility to make sure there were a lot of successors who were pitied against each other for the imperial throne… after all you can't kill a 100 heirs and those that survive will most likely be the smartest ones and not the luckiest ones.
An angry Lelouch was walking around the villa the Aries villa he was looking for an idea of revenge that would make her pay for what she did.
Jeremiah Gottwald:"my lord".
Lelouch Vi Britannia:"what?".
Jeremiah Gottwald"My lord do you hear me".
Lelouch looked up and saw him there stood a 192 cm (6.4feet) tall man in black boots grey pants a grey uniform and a red sash on his right shoulder.
Jeremiah Gottwald was loyal to Lelouches mother Marianne and by loyal i mean like very loyal it means that he would jump in front of a bullet meant for her.
Jeremiah Gottwald"Something troubling you my lord?" asked a now very worried Jeremiah he served the Vi Britannia household for a few years and he knew one thing 'a scheming Vi Britannia is more dangerous than a poisonous snake' he was lucky to see the anger of his liege Marianne Vi Britannia taken out on the other consorts once… he pitied the human beings who royally pissed of the child of Marianne and the Emperor… a man who had survived the 'age of blood' a time period where a member of royalty died almost every week and assassination attempts were daily.
There are 52 weeks in a year… half of the heirs were gone in a year, which meant it wasn't drastic to call it an age of blood as royalty don't grow on trees, if 50% of something died anyone would call it a massacre.
Lelouch:"No it's nothing".
Lelouch distractedly looked to the clock his heart stoped there the time showed 11 PM he ran as quickly as his legs could carry him, it was past his curfew.
When he finally found himself in his room he waited and hoped his mother didn't notice his absence from his room.
When he finally calmed down he was about to take off his clothes when he heard gunfire a lot of gunfire and a scream he quickly ran out of his room to the main hall when he looked down on the stairs his heart stopped his face brought a face filled with pure horror as he looked down upon the bodies of 2 guardsmen and between them… lay his mother full of bullet wounds there was so much blood he looked something was moving under her, there from under her he saw his little sister eyes as wide as saucers face full of terror.
TIME SKIP
Lelouch was sitting on a hospital chair face devoid of emotion he waited there as the hours passed by Jeremiah Gottwald stood by his side looking for anyone suspicious that might try to harm his prince he failed once he won't fail a second time in his duty… his hand was on his pistol, fingers itching to pull the safety and fire on the first person to come near his prince without looking like a doctor… it would most likely be the assassin looking to finish his bloody job… he knew that nobody but a select few could be trusted and even those few who could be they were away on business outside of Pendragon.
The doctor came face full of sympathy eyes tired and filled with regret, for anyone who had never lived in Pendragon the doctor might appear sympathetic, but in reality he knew that if did not look sad enough he could lose his job, maybe even his life if he appeared too at ease after all he might be suspected for looking too neutral during a death of royalty.
Lelouch"How bad is it?" After a second of pause he added "please don't lie to me".
Doctor:"She will never walk on her own legs"replied the doctor carefully dealing with a sibling of a dissed was a tricky matter especially if the sibling was royalty who could order your execution, for no reason or a made up one.
Lelouch:"When can I see her?" Lelouch still wasn't showing any emotion… years of discipline showing that even in the face of a great tragedy he wouldn't show weakness to anyone… or he simply was a quiet griever.
Doctor:"Now" while not showing it inside he was happy after all he just survived a encounter with a prince… a prince who lost his sister and mother, his predecessor wasn't as lucky he died because he told 2 princess to man up after their mother died, it was during the age of blood.
When Lelouch came into the room he couldn't help letting a tear fall down his face there lay Nunnally her small legs wrapped in bandages… she turned her head to him her eyes open… there was little to none emotion in her eyes.
Nunnally:"Brother why is it so dark in here please turn on the light"said a Nunnally still not remembering the happenings of the night before.
Lelouch:"Nunnally" he wanted to yell in frustration"the lights are on".
Horror beyond imagination crossed their faces as they realized she was crippled and blinded, with their mother now dead they had zero protection… while they had siblings who liked them their mothers hated them with a passion.
The next day Lelouch heard the Ashfords lost their nobility title all of their allies found themselves in bad situations one by one he lost all the allies his mother made and he could do nothing but watch.
Lelouch POV [Earth]
For the past few days I was sitting in my room not really doing anything except visiting Nunnally and doing any daily task that didn't require… her, the maids whenever they thought I wasn't looking shot me sympathetic glances… of course they were all properly vetted again and any who didn't pass Jeremiah's screening were fired… I heard when passing some of them that he got the nickname the 'the guard dog'.
He didn't allow anyone near me or Nunnally without my permission he didn't even let Nellie near me even though she was technically his boss… I heard that he gave her a gun and told her that she would need to shoot him to meet me without my permission… she left after that probably recognizing that loyalty like his was hard to come by especially to a bloodline which is losing its allies one by one.
Jeremiah didn't hide anything from me even when he didn't want to tell me… yesterday he told me that the emperor closed the investigation into my mothers murder… I was able to get an audience before him scheduled for tomorrow… normally I would have simply ran into the problem headfirst but Jeremiah made me reconsider.
My loyal guard pretends to be blind of the snakes in the imperial court but in reality he knows well enough how the court works… he told me… gave me examples what would have happened were I to run into it without preparation… because of this I used yesterday and today preparing myself both mentally and in what I would say in court.
And getting some equipment from a old friend of mothers…
TIME SKIP-1 day
As I came inside the palace main hall where my father sat on his throne, I walked forward not looking at neither side fully well knowing that the 50 m carpet was lined with nobility who were smiling under their noses… a typical civilian would think they are bowing out of respect but I saw those smiles… heard those whispers.
Random noble 1:"did you hear it that commoner whore is finally gone".
Random noble 2:"her disgusting blood will never again stain the royal families name".
Jeremiah warned me that this was a test to try to see if I had the nerve… so I had to continue moving forward not even sparing a glance at the people who laughed and partied in their villas celebrating my mothers death like the day Britannia were to conquer the world.
As I neared the throne I got on my knee and bowed… while most princes and princesses would hate to bow to anyone, my mother had a different philosophy… 'bow now, stab later' basically I couldn't care less that I was bowing to who was essentially the most powerful man in the world.
As I bowed I could I knew he wouldn't speak a single word waiting for me to do the first move
"Your majesty my mother… the empress is dead!" I almost yelled though I kept a composed tone.
I didn't need to look up to know he was looking at me with a unyielding gaze.
Charles Zi Britannia:"old news what of it" a Bored tone answered me.
I didn't lose my cool at his response Jeremiah prepared me finding as many situations that were similar to this that I almost wanted to vomit at the evil that ran through Britannia's politics which I never noticed before… and I was ready.
"You care nothing of the fact that the member of the knights of the rounds, not only a member but the knight of two is dead, unless your age is finally getting to you the empires second strongest knight is dead, a knight I'll remind you who was said to turn the tide of battle with her presence as enemy commanders went on the defensive" I put into it as much snark as I could to make it seem like it's obvious and that he's getting really old.
I raised my head a little bit just enough to see his face but not enough to show disrespect.
I had to keep of my face what Mother called a 'shit eating grin' as I saw the Emperors eye twitch, it didn't help that there was absolute silence after my retort.
Those fat nobles who think walking is considered a exercise finally shut their mouths.
I could probably hear a pin being dropped at the entrance, if it happened.
The nobility were quieter than corpses as some of them openly gaped with full shock disbelieving that I just insulted the most powerful man in the world inside of his fortress.
Before he could formulate a response as I could see that he wasn't expecting me to straight up insult him I pressed my verbal attack.
"Tell me do you know how the commoners see you" I asked already knowing his response.
Charles Zi Britannia:"why should I care about what the commoners think and what has this to do with anything" he quickly retorted almost mechanically.
"Well you should care because they see you as their protector their guardian angel against them being exploited by the nobility" I replied hoping he'd fall for my trap.
Charles Zi Britannia:"And you know this how?".
I blinked and I couldn't help myself "you do remember that woman who was considered your favorite well she kinda was my mother and she was a commoner at birth… she did actually raise me" another hit at the idea that he didn't remember things, more ideas for the nobility that he's going senile.
Before he could try to attack me somehow and put me in my place I threw another attack "so now what do you think will happen when the commoners hear that their idol Marianne the flash a commoner born turned noble turned Royal is dead and that the investigation into her murder was stopped by the emperor himself.
"Don't answer I'll tell you what will happen a feeling of betrayal people will realize that even if they get a noble title they'll have no allies, they will realize that they'll never be able to make a better life for their future generations, the people will realize that no matter what they do nothing will change for them… they will realize that they're simply better treated numbers, that will no doubt be a huge morale hit to the army".
"And who knows maybe they'll start sympathizing with the numbers… and with time they might think 'what if there wasn't nobility'".
Charles Zi Britannia:"it seems that they'll never know as I ordered silence on the entire ordeal".
I stood up and blinked at him making sure to look as innocent as possible "but what if there's a leak?".
Suddenly the side door behind the throne opened and a royal guard entered he looked very nervous.
Royal guard:"Your majesty the media wants to know why you shut down the investigation on of the empresses death".
I continued looking as innocent as possible as I said "nobody ever informed me or Jeremiah who was always at my side for the past few days that we weren't supposed to talk to the public".
Checkmate you asshole of a sperm donor.
I might be green to politics but I'm a very mean opponent.
Time skip-1 week
Jeremiah Gottwald:"My lord it's finally time".
I knew he was talking about me being sent to Japan to help 'ease' the political talks while in reality it was a ploy in making me a political hostage.
Well he didn't know it was my plan all along right now all of my allies have been discredited and thrown into unfortunate accidents I had literally no protection in Pendragon except for Jeremiah, ill be safer in Japan where from what I heard they are crazy on the points of honor… Britannian knights are supposed to be but in reality they act like nobles assassinations included, it wasn't uncommon for a knight to have an accident in the field, while this might be overlooked by most the thing was Britannian soldiers no matter where weren't incompetent, their commanders maybe but soldiers followed protocols to the letter.
And knights have more accidents than any other army even the Chinese federations army isn't as 'incompetent'.
He just forgot one thing there are a lot of commoners who learned what happened and were very unhappy, in fact they gave me their numbers and asked to call them if they were ever needed… unsurprisingly they were all veterans who served under my mother, and some other people who hoped that they could advance under the current system, their illusions were dispersed.
Some even were scientists.
And even Jeremiah was being taken away because he was my accomplice In creating Pendragon's worst political nightmare this decade maybe ever after all royalty worked on the idea that they protected the commoners against nobility so before the commoners would support the monarch in any way they could.
Thankfully Cornelia bailed him out and he was joining the military specifically Cornelia's 1st army, he said that Cornelia assured him that he would be placed in her veteran decision so that no unfortunate accidents would happen to him.
TIME SKIP-2 weeks
Normal POV
Lelouch was a weird child in Suzaku's mind and by that he meant that Lelouch could take any racist comments to the face and ignore it but if someone were to insult Nunnally his purple eyes would become sharp almost knife like and then he'd pretend like nothing happened.
Suzaku once sent a really nasty comment which threw Lelouch off balance into hate so great that he later tripped Suzaku into a Vase, a Vase that was a thousand years old.
Which resulted in a brawl until Tohdoh came and stopped the fight, he learnt later after questioning them on what happened and decided to train them as he saw that they had too much time and energy.
Suzaku already was training so he wasn't at all affected by it but Lelouch was ecstatic as he saw how much of a burden he'd be in a fight and that he wouldn't be able to protect Nunnally in this shape.
TIME SKIP-few months
While Lelouch and Suzaku were training they heard a scream, they quickly ran hopping that they could help whoever was in danger, completely ignoring the fact they were important and that they were on private land.
Lelouch:"Hello" called Lelouch in both Brytanian and Japanese hoping someone would answer him (he learned it while living in Japan because he was a fast learner).
As they were running Suzaku tripped over a bush when Lelouch looked to what it was there laid a 10 year old girl black hair with red accents in a black and red hoodie with black Pants and red shoes, when they found her they took her to the Kururugi house.
They were surprised by the fact she looked of European decent which considering Japan was an Isolationist country not long ago meant she was a rarity if you would among these parts.
Normally Suzaku would have done the carrying but with the training Lelouch did he became more resilient and stronger allowing him to help Suzaku.
Normal POV remnant
Hunter team STQR consisted of Summer Rose,Taiyang Xio Long,Qrow Branwen and Raven Branwen all of them graduated from the prestigious Beacon academy.
after Graduating Beacon Academy Taiyang and Raven got married they had a child named Yang while Summer married Qrow together they had a child a little girl named Ruby Rose.
Ruby was a natural born genius considering the fact that both of her parents (one a weapon expert the other one a weapon lover) she learned all she could about weapons she read every book she could get her hands on about the things that ended lives both Grimm and human, her parents also awakened her Aura just in case, them being hunters meant they had dangerous lives and if anything happened to them hey wanted something to help Ruby survive if their friends wouldn't be able.
They had also her taught extensively about Aura even how to unlock it, plus some different techniques, well it was more of showing her those techniques and then trying them out while they weren't home, after all simply seeing if she could put enough Aura on her feet when jumping of the couch to not hurt her wasn't dangerous.
She lived on a island called patch near the woods outside of the towns limit, closer her parents job.
Because of this she wasn't very popular sure she did have her mom,dad,uncle and her cousin Yang but her social skills if they were given a grade they would be a F-.
Great distances to the local town meant she had no time for after school activities with any friends unless her parents were there but because they were hunters they had a lot of work.
Once she asked why do they work so much and they replied that some hunters don't do their share of it and because of this some had to do more.
When she was young tragedy struck her mother and aunt went on a mission and after many months only her aunt returned, little Ruby didn't understand why her mommy didn't come back, but one night when her father was drinking his liquor he told her…
Qrow:"she ain't coming back kiddo".
Qrow:"we'll never see her again, she's no longer with us in the world of the living".
Ruby was shocked, her father was once a drunk but her mother made him promise to never drink again, while Qrow wasn't abusive while drunk he knew how to handle his liquor, he was hardly the man he once was, he spent many nights drinking himself to sleep, and simply sitting and doing nothing.
Ruby once dreamed of being a huntress but after seeing what happened to those left behind she didn't want to see what would happened with her father if she died after her mother's death he looked like a living corpse that placed a mask for others to see only to take it of at night and drink itself to sleep, she asked herself constantly'what would happen to him should I have an accident while training'.
She gave up on her dream of becoming a huntress but took up a new dream to make the best weapons possible so that hunters and huntresses wouldn't die during their missions so that less people would feel the pain she and her father felt.
On her ninth birthday she and Qrow visited a weapon exposition on the newest and strongest weapons Atlas created this year…
Ruby Rose:"look at that it's a spider droid" she said eyes sparkling with adoration for the machine.
The spider droid was the size of a Goliath with its introduction Atlas hoped to stop any powerful Grimm from coming near their city, its giant cannons could fit a grown person inside.
Her dad could only smile at her thinking 'she's more like her mother every day, I wonder what she got after me' he sighed to himself a sad sigh remembering his true love… and then he took out some weak liquor to forget about her after all it was Ruby's big day not everyday do you have your birthday, he wasn't going to ruin it by crying or getting truly drunk… only getting drunk enough to forget about that day, when he finished and looked Ruby was nowhere to be seen.
Qrow:"damm Roses are disappearing everywhere these days" then he went looking for her, completely sure that nothing could happen to her in Atlases science military day where more soldiers were walking around guarding people than there was during a Schnee event where Jacques was to appear.
Ruby POV
"Omg these, things are so coooool is that a laser rifle"? I couldn't help but ask a man dressed in a variation of the standard Atlesian armor, the armor was made of a much better material that was sturdier which meant it could be placed in smaller amounts for the same effect, where before armor was 3cm this new alloy allowed the same efficiency at 2cm, which was really good.
Atlesian soldier"nope this is actually a dust rifle that doesn't use dust bullets" he informed me, still that practically is a laser rifle, I mean if it aint shooting bullets or anything touchable then it's lasers.
As I was walking by some corridor I was grabbed I couldn't even put up much of a fight I mean I tried but whoever was holding me was way too strong.
We were in a dark room suddenly the lights flicked on I saw in front of me a big man in really weird looking clothes with a weird bird symbol on the top of his hood.
Near us was a weird looking door that was quite big with the same bird symbol the man had on his hood next to it were what I assume state of the art computers though i didn't recognize them from anywhere nor did I understand what was on the screen, some weird symbol and maybe statistics for something.
I then saw a different person next to him he was a small child I think or he had dwarfism but he looked way to young, he also had weird purple clothes, but his hair was like really long like it was longer than him he also had deep purple eyes, they were scary those purple orbs looked at me with such disinterest like he wasn't kidnapping another person.
Unknown:"throw her through maybe this one will be the lucky one to survive".
My eyes widened at this me survive what my heart started to race a mile per minute I was afraid of what he said.
Then the one who was holding me grip slackened before I could try to free myself I was flying through the air into a weird door with the same bird symbol.
That was the last thing I remembered before all went dark.
I'm not dead I've just had other things in my life and I decided to change the plot a bit, add some things ya know.
My writing also takes longer cause I'm writing this on a IPad.
Also review like what are your thoughts on the changes that you were able to spot.
