For this chapter I will show you what happened ten years later for most of the characters. Enjoy. ^_^

Chapter 1: Ten Years of Waiting

The story takes off ten years later after season two finished. Live have been born, people moved on, and revenge is still best served cold.

Ten years have passed since Japan has been liberated by the Britannians, and in those ten years Nunnaly took the responsibility to amend all the damage that had been done. And with the help of Zero and the Black Knights Japan will finally have its

independence.

Nunnaly vi Britannia and Zero (Kururugi Suazku)

The day of Lelouch's death

Nunnally stared at her brother's cold body as it quickly slid towards her. His blood trailing behind his weak body for his life is slowly slipping away. Her trembling body cowers towards Lelouch…She starts to cry.

"B…Big Brother…?" Nunnally held Lelouch's hand and placed it on her cheek.

Lelouch slowly opens his eyes, and sees his sister in tears.

"N..Nunnally…" He whispered.

"It is okay big brother…Everything is going to be fine…" Her little frame did its best to make him sit up.

"You can stop now Nunnally…."

"But big brother I –"

Lelouch interrupted his little sister, and caressed her cheek. "Nunnally" He roared. "It's too late for me…"

"No….Don't say that we can still –"

"Listen to me Nunnally… You have to help these people now…" He whispered. "So you have to be stronger…"

"Big brother…" She cried.

"I know you have the heart….And don't worry…Zero is there to help you" He smirked. He then wiped his sister's tears and smiled. "And don't fret…I'll be watching you from heaven…" He smiled.

Upon hearing this Nunnally pressed his hand harder on her cheek.

"Big brother…I love you"

"I love you to….Nu…nnally…"

Lelouch closed his eyes. His hand slowly slipped from Nunnally's grasp, and fell on the cold floor of the float.

Nunnally knew that her brother no longer resided with her. She hugged Lelouch's deceased body and cried.

"BIG BROTHER!"

Ten years later in the Britannian Mansion (Nunnally's Bedroom)

"LELOUCH!" She screamed.

Zero rushed in her room and shook her.

"Empress Nunnally! Empress Nunnally! Wake up" He pleaded.

Nunnally immediately opened her eyes…It was all just a dream.

"Are you okay Empress?"

Nunnally looked at Zero's mask and smiled.

"Yes Zero…I'm fine"

"Thank goodness" He sighed in relief. "….Was it the same dream?"

"Yes…" She answered.

Zero carried her and sat her down on her wheelchair.

"You know, you don't have to do that everyday" She persisted.

"I can't…One scratch on you and your brother won't forgive me"

Zero walked behind the wheelchair and was about to push her to the kitchen.

"Zero…Before I get some breakfast…Please bring me to the terrace"

"Yes Empress Nunnally"

Zero opened the door to the terrace and brought the wheelchair out. The sun shone on their faces and a cool breeze rustled towards them. Nunnally fixed her hair and smiled.

"You think…Big brother is proud of me?" She asked.

Zero looked at Nunnally and smiled in his mask. "Of course he is Empress. He is very proud"

Zero looked up and stared at the blue skies. (Don't worry Lelouch. I will protect Nunnally…For the future resides in her)

Lloyd Asplund, Cecile Croomy & Rakshata Chawla

Inside a secret laboratory

Lloyd lazily sat on his swivel chair and stared at his computer.

"…GOD THIS IS SO BORING" He roared.

"Hey keep your voice down!" An enraged Rakshata threw her kiseru towards Lloyd and hit his head.

"HEY WHAT WAS –?"

Lloyd didn't notice that a piece of tobacco fell in his hair and started to burn.

"OUCH HOT HOT HOT –"

"I said SHUT UP! Can't you see I'm trying to concentrate?"

"How can I concentrate when a clumsy wretch like you threw this thing at me?" Lloyd argued.

"Why you –?"

"You guys still act like kids. You know that?" Cecile interrupted with a chuckle.

Lloyd and Rakshata stopped arguing. Rakshata picked up her kiseru from the floor while Lloyd patted his hair to stop the burning.

"Now sit down you two we still got work to do" Cecile joked.

"Yes Mother" Rakshata and Lloyd snickered.

They returned to their work stations and typed away.

"But how can we work if we can't tinker with any of the Knigtmares in the hangar?" Lloyd complained.

"We can't do anything about it" Rakshata answered.

"But –"

"She's right Lloyd. After Nunnally placed the law for disarming all Knightmare frames we can't even see it" Cecile added.

"Aww but what is our purpose of being a scientist then? We can't just sit here and encode stuff it's boring"

"Can it Lloyd, we can't do anything about it. I'm sure you've tried to sneak in the hangar millions of times" She pointed out. "This is what we have to do now"

"But –"

"It's either this or getting a new job. Be my guest" Rakshata pointed out.

"Ah, err never mind…" Lloyd shuts up and turned to his computer.

"Aww don't worry Lloyd I know just the thing to cheer you up" Cecile beamed.

Rakshata gulped when she heard about Cecile's surprise. "Uhh Cecile…What do you have there?"

"Ah Rakshata you're curious aren't you? Ta –da I made bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich with strawberry jam! Care to try one?"

"Uhh no thanks" Rakshata declined.

"Okay then but you're missing out. What about you Lloyd?"

But Lloyd was no where to be found.

"Lloyd…? Geez Lloyd this won't give you diarrhea like the last time I promise…LLOYD!"

Kyoshiro Tohdoh & Nagisa Chiba

In the Tohdoh Household (Bedroom)

A few months after Villetta Nu and Kaname Ohgi's wedding they tied the knot.

Kyoshiro slept heavenly in his bed with Nagisa at his turned the other way and hugged his wife. Nagisa woke up and kissed his chin.

"Good morning you" She whispered.

Kyoshiro slightly opened his eyes and saw his wife smiling at him.

"Good morning –"

Suddenly the door slammed open and three mischievous children jumped on Kyoshiro.

"Otousan! Wake up" A little girl shrilled.

"Okaasan didn't prepare breakfast again" A little boy complained.

"Yeah" Another little boy added.

"N-Nagisa…Help me" Kyoshiro

"Michiko, Ryu, Yoichi, get off your father this instant" Nagisa ordered.

The children go off their father and lined up by age.

"It was nee –san's fault okaasan! She told us to jump on you guys wile you were sleeping to wake up" Ryu argued.

"Yeah" Yoichi added.

"H-hey, wait a minute if it wasn't for my plan we'll all starve before going to school" Michiko pointed out.

"Okay, okay stop fighting I'll go prepare breakfast. Just let your father sleep, he's tired from work yesterday night and he's going to do something important later this afternoon"

"Okay" The children answered.

"I'll race you to the table" Ryu blurted. "Last one there has to eat all the nato mom's going to prepare"

Ryu quickly ran out of the room leaving his older sister and younger brother behind.

"Hey no fair" Yoichi screamed as he raced his brother.

"Come on boys don't start fighting this early in the morning" Nagisa lectured as she chased her two sons.

Kyoshiro chuckled when he saw his sons fighting over petty matters.

"Get going Michiko. You don't want to be the one eating all the nato right?" He joked.

Michiko sat next to her father and hugged him.

"Otousan I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you"

"It's okay Michiko, besides I didn't get seriously injured. You're otousan is a horse you know"

"Does that make me a pony?" She giggled.

"Come here you"

Kyoshiro grabbed his daughter and started to tickle her.

"No more! No more! I can't stop laughing" She begged.

Kyoshiro obeyed his daughter's wish and carried her off the bed.

"Now go on, eat your breakfast you have a lot of nato to finish"

Michiko kissed her father's cheek before running along.

"It is okay otousan" She smiled. "I like nato anyway"

Kyoshiro watched his little girl leave his bedroom before falling back to sleep. He looked at Nagisa's empty space and sighed.

"…Great…Now I can't go back to sleep"

Villetta Nu & Kaname Ohgi

Inside the Ohgi household (Living Room)

"Dad hurry, I want to see you in your fancy clothes" A little boy howled.

Kaname quickly ran down the stairs and covered the little boy's mouth with his hand.

"Shhh, not too loud Souta" Kaname whispered. "Remember about your mother's condition?"

"Yeah but we're going to be late if we don't go. I also promised Shigeo that we'll meet at the gate of the school"

"I know, I know but you have to lower your voice or else –"

"Or else what dear?" Villetta blurted as she carefully walked down the stairs.

Souta pulled his father's hand off his mouth and hugged his mother.

"Ah good morning mom" He beamed.

"Souta be careful" Kaname instructed.

"Don't worry dad I'm sure the baby is fine" He assured.

He placed his palm on his mother's belly and felt the baby kick.

"Hah it kicked dad, I felt the baby kick"

Kaname placed his palm on his son's hair and messed it up.

"You're excited to be a nii –san, aren't you?"

"Yup"

"I'm sure you are" Villetta pointed out. "But for now both of you have to get going" Viletta pointed out.

"Oh yeah, dad I'm going to wait for you in the car okay?"

"Okay Souta"

The couple waited until their son left the house.

"Are you sure you're going to be alright?" Ohgi asked. "I mean…All alone"

"Yes we'll be fine" Villetta answered as she patted her swollen belly. She looked out of the window and saw their son waiting for Kaname in the passenger.

"He's all grown up now…Isn't he?"

Kaname hugged his wife and kissed her cheek.

"Yup…He's a good kid…It's a good thing we had him when all the ruckus had been cleared"

Viletta turned around and tightened Ohgi's tie.

"Don't worry dear, I'll be fine. Souta and I will be in Tamaki's bistro this afternoon to celebrate okay?"

"Wait for me?"

"Of course"

Kaname crouched down and kissed his wife's stomach.

"You be a good girl too okay? Don't give you're mom a hard time okay?"

"Ahem…You mean boy" Villetta corrected him.

"Are we still gambling for the gender?" He asked.

"Of course…Remember the rules?" She questioned.

"If I get the gender right I name HER…"

"And if I get HIS gender correctly I get to name HIM…"

The couple looked at each other and laughed.

"Have a good day dear" Villetta hollered.

Kaname gave his wife a kiss and walked out.

"You too" He smiled. "I love you

Cornelia li Britannia & Gilbert G.P Guilford

Guilford household (kitchen)

Cornelia hummed a little tune while she was concentrating on setting the table. Gilbert sneakily stood behind her and hugged her from behind.

"Good morning my princess" He whispered in her ear.

He then teased his wife by nibbling her ear. Cornelia was tickled with every motion.

"Mmm, you want me so badly this early in the morning eh?" She giggled. "You might be late for work. Isn't there an important event today?" She reminded.

He turned her around and kissed her intensely on the lips.

"Work can wait…" He said.

Cornelia and Gilbert tied the knot five years ago. Before that time Cornelia detached herself from the royal bloodline and lived as an ordinary citizen, and even though Gilbert knew he had no official princess to serve he didn't leave Cornelia's side. At first

Cornelia thought that this was wrong for the people might get the wrong message. But Gilford insisted that he couldn't leave his princess even thought she detached herself from the nobility.

Cornelia wrapped her arms around Gilbert's neck and plunged his lips closer to hers.

"Mmm, I'm sorry but you have to get going. You have to prep up those rookies you're handling" She snickered. "But, you have to eat breakfast first"

Gilbert rubbed his nose on hers and kissed her lips.

"Okay. Besides, if those boys make a mistake Zero would have to kill me" He joked.

Gilbert sat on one end of the table while Cornelia sat on the other side. They ate silently across each other, with an empty seat between them.

It was about three years ago when Cornelia found out that she was pregnant with their first child. Overjoyed, they wanted to give the best life to the child they were expecting. But, on the fourth month of Cornelia's pregnancy she and Gilbert met a

devastating car accident. Cornelia developed complications in her uterus and as a result lost the child she was carrying.

Cornelia helped Gilbert put on his coat and straightened his tie.

"Now be good while you're at work okay?"

"Yes Mom" He joked.

"See you in Tamaki's?"

"See you in Tamaki's…"

And with one more passionate kiss Gilbert said his goodbyes to his wife. Cornelia stood outside to see him off.

Kallen Kozuki & Nina Einstein

Outside the Japan's International Elementary School Parking lot

"And here we are"

Ohgi positioned his car to a halt and helped his son out of the car. Souta happily jumped out of the car and was about to run to Shigeo.

"Wait a minute Souta" Ohgi hollered.

Souta turned around and pouted.

"But dad –"

"I just want to make sure that you have everything before you go to school" He mentioned. "Do you have y our lunch?"

"Check"

"You're project?"

"Check"

"Okay you're good to go" Ohgi announced. "Your mom and your Uncle Tohdoh will be here to pick you up okay? I'll be in Tamaki's after as well" He reminded.

"Finally" Souta sighed in relief.

Souta hugged his dad and ran to Shigeo.

"Love you dad bye"

Ohgi waved goodbye to his son and headed on to work.

"You're late Souta" Shigeo grunted.

"I'm sorry Shigeo, but my dad had to dress ti impress today"

"Who cares let's just get inside before we're late"

Inside the Japan International Elementary School (Room B – 3)

Shigeo opened the door to their classroom. As expected in an elementary school, all the children were rowdy. Be it a boy or be it a girl.

Souta threw his bag on his seat and ran towards a group of his friends.

"Good morning guys"

"Hey Souta you're later than usual" Huan joked.

"At least you're here now" Amadou pointed out. "So…Did you guys bring the stuff?"

"Of course we did" Shigeo proudly announced.

Shigeo opened his bag and took out a plastic box. Souta did the same. The boys slowly opened the box and snickered to one another.

"Hey…What are you guys looking at?" Michiko asked.

"Oh nothing…I just saw two dead birds on my lawn this morning and decided to show it to my friends" Shigeo boasted.

"What! Give me those dead birds! Maybe Einstein –Sensei can help the poor thing"

"Oh heck no, I found the bird so it's mine" Shigeo roared.

"Why you –"

Michiko pushed the boys away and looked at the plastic box.

"Come on guys this bird is hurt. Bringing it to Miss Einstein is the right thing –"

Michiko opened the plastic box and found the box brimming with creepy crawlers. She stared at the box and froze.

"Bugs…." She whispered. "EEWWW BUGS!"

In fear she unknowingly flipped the box in the air. The Students were bombarded with bugs and worms, Souta's group just stood there and laughed.

"Why are you guys laughing!" Michiko annoyingly asked. "Can't you see that we are invaded by pests?"

"We're laughing, because it's all plastic" Amadou chuckled.

"Girls are all stupid" Huan added.

"Why you…Natalia, Kadia, Amihan help me!" She cried.

An all out girls versus boys war broke in the classroom. Flying erasers, shoes, bags you name it. All the ammo you can think of has been thrown. All of a sudden they heard footsteps closing in the room. They quickly cleaned up the classroom and sat on

their respective seats. The door swung open as class was about to start.

"Good morning children" The teacher greeted.

"Good morning Miss Kozuki" They answered.

Kallen walked in front of the class and stationed herself behind the podium.

"Okay class, I'm going to take the attendance"

Kallen grabbed her accordion folder and took out a piece of paper with the students names are enlisted.

"Kadia Amel?"

"Here"

"Bao Huan?"

"Present"

"Amaud Klark?"

But there was no answer.

"Amaud Klark?"

Kallen lowered the piece of paper and looked for Amaud. Amaud was on his chair grasping his stomach.

"Amaud…Are you alright?"

"M…Miss Kozuki I think I ate something bad for breakfast this morning"

"Okay then I'll let you go to the clinic"

"Ah I'll accompany Amaud Miss Kozuki"

"Alright Souta – Kun I'll let you help him. But I don't want you to goof off okay? Once you bring Amaud to the clinic I want you back here got it?"

"Y-yes Miss Kozuki"

Souta helped his friend up and helped him to the clinic.

"Okay class I'll continue with the attendance" Kallen announced. (For Ohgi's kid he is a delinquent. I wonder if he got that in Viletta's side)

Inside the Japan International Elementary School (Clinic)

"Here you go Amaud"

Nina gave Amaud his medicine accompanied by a glass of water.

"What did you eat this morning Amaud?" Nina asked.

"The usual rice and eggs" Amaud answered.

"Maybe you just gobbled it all up" Souta joked.

"Aren't you supposed to be back in Miss Kozuki's class Souta?" Nina reminded.

"Oh yeah! (Oh my God she's going to kill me if I were to be late) Thank you Miss Einstein" Souta breathed as he ran out to the door.

"That idiot" Amaud cursed.

"But he's right you know. You should learn how to eat slowly or you'll get an upset stomach such as this"

"Okay Miss Einstein"

"Now go lie down. I'll give you a hot compress for your stomach"

Amaud listened to Nina and let himself down on the bed.

(Kids these days, they don't have a worry in the world) Nina happily thought.

Schneizel el Britannia & Mysterious Stranger

Inside the Britannian Mansion (Library)

(Damn it) Schneizel cursed. (Damn it I can't take it anymore…)

He stood up and banged his fist on the table.

"GOD DAMN –"

"Excuse me Prince Schneizel" A maid interrupted.

Schneizel looked up and fixed his disposition. He fixed his collar and cleared his throat.

"What is it?"

"Uhm..The empress would like to see you" She announced.

Nunnally entered the library with Zero pushing her wheelchair. Zero positioned her in front of her brother and walked out.

"Isn't he going to watch over you?" Schneizel asked.

"No, not today, I requested him to leave me. I want to talk to you privately" She said.

"So, what do you want to talk about?"

Nunnally stayed silent for a while to collect her thoughts.

"Big brother…Are you still mad?"

"Mad?" He chuckled. "Mad about what?"

"That I took over our empire and not you" She answered.

Schneizel glared at her and shaped his hand to a fist.

After being freed by the infamous Zero the geass Lelouch gave him was still activated. But after some time its power disappeared and his memories returned. He was outraged when he knew that he wasn't the heir of the Britannina throne. He thought

that Nunnally didn't have the makings of being a ruler. He wanted to take back his throne and rule over Britannia with Japan being its ally. He knew that he could get away with it because Lelouch was the only one who knew the extent of the power of

the geass. If he blew his cover they would know his true intentions. He gave up being the head of the order of the black knights. And for the past ten years he acted as a loyal dog to Nunnally.

Schneizel calmed down and puts on a fake smile for his sister.

"Mad? Me? Oh no Nunnally I'm fine. I'm very happy that you took care of Japan. I've been having so much free time…Unlike before"

"R-really?" She sighed in relief. "I'm so happy big brother" She cried. "You've trusted me for so long to take care of our family's empire. You've been an inspiration to me big brother. I just wanted you to know that"

Schneizel wiped his sister's tears and kissed her supple cheek.

"Thank you Nunnally…You better get going, everyone is waiting for your BIG announcement"

Nunnaly called for Zero and exits the room. Schneizel was now alone wallowing in his demise.

"Damn it. How could it be the end?" He asked himself. "I thought I had more time, more time to get back which was once mine..." He roared. "Which was rightfully MINE! I will do anything to regain that power...ANYTHING"

"Anything?" A womanly voiced suddenly echoed.

Schneizel turned around and saw a busty woman lighting her cigarette. He was enchanted by her presence as she walked towards him. She looked at him with so much lust and blew a cloud of smoke to his face.

"Humph, you know smoking isn't allowed here" Schneizel pointed out.

"What are you going to do…? Make me?" She snickered.

They stared at each other for a few seconds. She gently holds her cigarette and pecks Schneizel's lower lip.

"W-who are you?" He stuttered.

"Me?" She asked. "You don't need to know"

She slowly pushes him back to the couch and placed her right knee in between his legs.

"I can give back everything you've lost…" She whispered. "There is just one condition" She pointed out.

"Condition?"

She teases his neck with her tongue and bit his ear.

"You just have to be a good boy, and surrender…" She whispered.

Schneizel looked at the woman and smiled. He looked deeper into her eyes and saw himself sitting on the throne with his power fully restored. He is being spellbound with lust and greed.

"I surrender…" He answered.

"That's a good boy" (This is going to be too easy…Master will be very pleased with this first catch) She thought.

Milly Ashford & Rivalz Cardemonde

Outside the Britannian Mansion (Front)

"Miss Ashford we'll be on the air in five" A news crew informed.

"Coming" Milly hollered. "Come on Rivalz, if we don't start now"

"I know I know, let me just fix the camera for one sec okay?"

After graduating Rivalz wanted to follow Milly and became the official camera man for Milly Ashford. He still has feelings for her, but afraid to open up.

"There it's fixed" He panted.

"Now was that hard?"

"Hey, it's harder than showing your pretty face in front of the whole world missy" He joked.

"Y..You think I'm pretty?" She asked.

"What? Uhmm…Err I meant that…I…"

"Well duh? I am pretty, my face is stamped on the media for Christ's sake" She guffawed.

(She still got it…) Rivalz thought.

"You know Rivalz, I'm excited doing this report" Milly shared. "Japan has suffered so much, and today is the day they get to walk on their feet once again. Yes, it must've been long, but Empress Nunnally has done great…Even though her brother left her

ten years ago"

Rivalz looked at his camera and patted the lens.

"Then c'mon let's give them a show they will never forget"

"Yeah"

The Mysterious Woman & Her Master

On top of a building (Hidden Location)

"Master everything is going according to plan" The busty lady reported.

"Excellent Cynthia, you've done an excellent job"

The Master wrapped his arm around her and stared at the Mansion.

"Now…Let the show begin" He Sneered.
