When Vivian answered the phone she had expected Lelouch's voice and not Leon's. Not that she disliked the man because he was the reason why she was able to meet Lelouch and Nunnally (and now Clovis), but hearing everything was going out of hand after the Behemoth's awakening was worrying.
"What do you mean he's not there?" she asked whilst Nunnally and Clovis were right next to her, listening in on the conversation.
[Like I said, he's not in this world anymore. The minute he bested the Beast he got sent into another world!]
"My brother's been what!?" exclaimed both Nunnally and Clovis in synch as the Undine winced at the volume.
[...they're there with you?]
"Yes. And they know he has powers."
[Fuck me sideways, slap my cheeks, stuff soap in my mouth and hand me to me momma.]
That raised a brow with that kind of swearing, never heard Leon rant like that before.
[Listen Vivian, Lelouch will be gone for some time to deal with Cypher buisness. Whole multiverse trouble that needs a few key pieces on the board reclaimed to prevent a terrible checkmate before coming back. Flow of time is kinda wacky in-between worlds so while it might not be long for us until he's back, it might be longer for him on the other side.]
"Now I'm hoping he'll bring souvenirs for us when he's done." the girl dryly mused as laughter came out of the phone.
[I'll try locating him and see if I can communicate with the kid to see his situation. Till then, keep things cool.]
"Take care Leon." Vivian replied with a fond tone before hanging up and consider what Leon just told her.
Lelouch is in another world probably causing chaos with his arrival, this reason is to find certain people to help prevent the end of all life and creation from happening, and no one has any clue when he'll be back by. Relaying this to Nunnally and Clovis really had a priceless expressions one their faces when she told them.
"What kind of madness has Lelouch gotten himself into?" Clovis asked tiredly while Nunnally was even more worried now for her brother's safety. Why was the whole cosmos toying with her by taking away her brother from her?
"From what I understand, even if he didn't have these powers he was destined for something greater in this world. Given that he's got the ambition and cunning to pull it off in the long run." Vivian mused as she recalled how Leon stated how the exiled prince's path would be one of greatness even without powers.
"So it appears," Clovis sighed before resting in his chair, "Tell me miss, does my brother have some role to play in this world we live in?" given his tone, these revelations were wearing him out. Should she say something that Lelouch shared with her about the time he gained the powers?
Why not? Perhaps it would change things in the long run, "There's something going on that will spell the end of the world here and Lelouch is the only one capable of preventing it from happening. Since he got his powers..." she was hesitant to say the next line because it was a revelation too terrifying to most mortal souls. "This world's timeline is altered, from the death of Bradley to Behemoth's appearance to even you finding Nunnally."
Clovis blinked once, then twice, then several times before sitting up straight with uttermost seriousness. "The end of the world is coming and Lelouch was the only one stopping it in the future?"
"If things start escalating like it is now, it might be prevented even earlier than before and he can focus on more pressing matters that will start popping up soon." Vivian replied as Nunnally was struggling with the fact her brother is fighting dangerous things and he might die in these attempts and leave her all alone.
"So tell me," Clovis mused as he looked at the Undine with curiosity, "What kind of world do you think he'll be in?"
"...One without a Britannia existing."
*A White Devil meets a Black Demon*
Lelouch staggered in the alleyway he walked in, leaning onto the wall as he sat down and rested on it. Tearing a piece of cloth he wrapped it around his leg that was bleeding from the fight with Behemoth as he looked around. The armor was now in his mask, the air was carrying the scent of the sea and everyone was speaking Japanese. So it was true, he was sent into another world-correction an alternate timeline that exists on a different axis in the multiverse.
"Are you okay?!" a girl's voice called out as Lelouch slowly turned to the source as he felt his strength weaken and then pass out. Little did he know that he and this girl would be involved in something big in the next few days.
