Disclaimer: I do not own Lord of the Rings, Fate/Stay-Night and Code Geass including all related materials and references mentioned in this story.

A/N: Well this is something I have been working on…some of you have seen me suggest and announce this idea in some of my recent fics. I can finally say I have completed the first chapters and given this is crossovered with the great works of J.R.R. Tolkien I shall do my upmost to deliver a descent story, although I will sadly confess there will be some trial and error with characters and such along the way since this is not only my first time doing Fate/Stay Night and Lord of the Rings, but trying to cross over the two worlds with Code Geass will be difficult so please bare with me. Hell up till now this chapter alone along with the second chapter both underwent multiple rewrites and revisions over the past year, but now I have a solid start for the story.

As it says in the summary the Dark Lord Sauron has been reincarnated (technically he didn't die in a sense I suppose, but was crippled for all time more or less, but I guess it depends on how you want to consider his state after the third age) into a certain human being's body with the One Ring having been restored along with him. Now awake and roaming a brand new world that has undergone many changes since the Third Age. Having reinvented himself and regained all of his strength and more with a renewed sense of purpose and drive behind his actions the Dark Lord is ready to return to power, but little does he and others know a third power was responsible for his return. The question is should the return of the Dark Lord Sauron and Britannia be what the people should be afraid of the most…or is it something else. With the coming of the Fifth Holy Grail war that question might have an answer.

Anyway on with the story and I hope you enjoy it.

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,

Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,

Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,

One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

Chapter 1

Whispers in the Dark

It was an hour pass midnight as a young girl with light gray hair that hung down a little past her waist line dressed in a blue dress with white cuffs and white around her collar with two black strands of clothing acting as a type of tie, but overall the young woman despite her youth was a priestess and right now the Kotominie Church was in her possession due to its former resident and owner disappearing for reasons unknown.

At the moment she was sitting inside the confession box waiting for someone she had been expecting to come…after a long period of time waiting the person she was waiting for came. The girl listened quietly as he entered the box although he couldn't see her and he couldn't see her as well due to the wall separating the two they were fully aware of the other's presence.

Caren Ortensia closed her yellow eyes for a moment before taking a deep breath.

"Bless me sister, for I have sinned. This is my first confession sister." The young man in the booth next door began.

"There is no doubt you have…please begin whenever you are ready."

"My story is indeed very long sister…in the beginning I was a being of divine nature I stood with the creator and sang the song of creation along with him and those like me. I did not join the evil one at first when he rebelled, but I did so later, but my reasons are my own for doing so. However that is merely the beginning of my tale, but know that I have committed unimaginable sins through my long existence and once more when I was reborn into this world in a human body."

"I see you may begin at any point you feel you have plenty of time." Caren said coaxing for the young man to begin.

"If that is the case then I advise thee to make yourself comfortable then…for through the ages I had lived I went by many names, but these days I use two new names…let I am perhaps better known for the name I am known by many…Sauron."

(Eight Years Ago…Kururugi Beach Side Estate, Japan)

It was a dream the same one he has had many times before he saw a tall armored man who stood at an imposing near nine feet tall wearing heavy dark gray fluted plate armor over mail designed to inspire terror and dread in all who looked upon the walking giant. The pauldrons possessed extravagantly dangerous radiating spikes which were among the examples of an overall threatening theme that encompasses every component of the armor as all of the plates appeared to be heavily etched, engraved or otherwise elaborated on with raised detail. The most defining feature of all was the great helm in particular that was composed of multiple, overlapping serrated blades of metal, rising to spires forming a frightening crown-like design.

In his right hand was a fearsome heavy black mace, but oddly out of place was a golden ring upon his right index finger. He watched the towering armored figure marching pass fleeing monstrosities who appeared humanoid in shape and height, but they were hideous in appearance wearing armor. Some were fleeing from the opposing armor while others were moving out of the way of the towering figure as he moved towards the front lines to confront his enemies head on.

Raising his mace up the armored figure swung striking the enemy soldiers before him, but upon contact a blast of energy was released…one powerful enough to send whole battalions flying through the air. As they charged the armored giant more of them fell before his might, one swing and more of his enemies were felled before him.

Finally an elderly man in ornate silver and gold armor approached attempting to land a blow, but a swift blow to the side of the head sent him flying impacting into a large stone on the slope of a tall imposing black volcano. The armored giant turned and made his way over to the mortally wounded old man, but upon inspection the armored clad giant would see that the impact of his land knocking his helmet off revealing a familiar face the dreamer had seen in real life, but now…he was laying at his feet before him at HIS mercy.

In the dream he was the armored giant, but the dream's meaning was lost on him.

"Lelouch! It's me!"

A child's voice screamed as the young ten year old boy woke from the drug-induced slumber forced him, but even so his entire body was numb with his mind effectively a mess as he was unable to make out anything in the room around him. Save for perhaps the voice of a child he knew discovering his limp form upon ground as the sounds of his groaning led the boy straight to him.

"Hey Lelouch wake up!"

Suzaku Kururugi attempted to sit the drugged boy up, but he instinctively began fighting back resulting in the child biting the young boy's arm.

"Ouch it's me you idiot!"

Lelouch struggling while Suzaku fended off the Britannian prince's wild attacks subconsciously trying to protect himself from what Lelouch was perceiving as someone attacking him and so fought back fiercely despite the drugs' effects on his body.

"Damn it Lelouch what's with you."

"Father!"

Lelouch responded, but the Japanese boy easily deduced it wasn't him he was talking to.

"You knew…you…you knew…this would happen…you abandoned us!"

Lelouch shouted with his eyes filled with hatred as he tried his best to fight off the effects of the drugs. Suzaku understood then that the Britannian Prince along with his younger sister Nunnally vi Britannia had been sent to Japan months ago to serve as political hostages in Japan…cast aside after the death of their mother by the Emperor himself.

"Nunnally WHERE is Nunnally!" Lelouch cried out.

"I'll find her Lelouch!"

"Save Nunnally!" Lelouch cried out again obviously not realizing Suzaku was present in the room as the Japanese boy hurried out to recues the young crippled girl, but as he hurried out the door his feet kicked a small gold ring that had fallen from the finger of the last person who had been in the room. The ring slid across the floor heading for the drugged young man until it stopped making contact with his right hand.

Upon contact with the ring the young boy's body settled down as the drugs seemingly took effect, finally knocking him unconscious, but…that wasn't the case as a moment later Lelouch's hand moved grasping the gold band before using thumb and middle finger to slip it onto his index finger. Suddenly the former prince's body violently jerked backwards as he was suddenly lying flat on his back trying to scream, but no words came forth from his mouth.

The drugs his body was injected with was purged from his system, but so much more was happening at that moment as upon the simple band of gold on the ring fiery Tengwar letters in an ancient and appalling language all but forgotten in this day and age appeared upon the ring.

But alone the young man knew it now as a power buried within him was awakened the moment the ring slipped onto his finger, but at the same time because of its nature the ring was already amplifying the newly awakened inherent power of its new owner.

However rather than new owner…the ring had unexpectedly returned to the hand of its maker, reincarnated into the world after he was crippled forever. But only now through unknown means he was reborn into a new body the young man recognized this as memories of another life came back to him in a flood that engulfed both his mind and soul completely.

I remember…I remember everything!

A few minutes later as Lelouch's body settled his eyes opened, but in place of his amethyst ones…his eyes had taken on the characteristics of a cat, but were seemingly wreathed with flames within them. Meanwhile inside his study Genbu Kururugi the Prime Minster of Japan was on the phone with one of his new allies. The corrupt Prime Minster of Japan sat contently on the sofa after his meeting with Tohdoh had expectantly well to a certain degree…although right now he was held prisoner in one of the other rooms on the estate.

The meeting Genbu was thinking of was when Kyoshiro Tohdoh was made aware of Genbu's intentions for purposely provoking war between Japan and Britannia for his own personal gain. Despite being the Prime Minster of Japan he didn't hold any real power and was basically a figurehead with real power of Japan's government in the hands of the Six Houses of Kyoto, but unfortunately Genbu wasn't satisfied and wanted more power for himself.

Lelouch vi Britannia was going to be insurance that he gets what he wants when everything was said and done while Nunnally who had considered selling to a brothel had decided instead of kill her as a form of mercy. His smile faded as he spoke to the muffled voice of the caller on the other line while he held his cell phone next to his ear.

"It's me…how many? …Hmph so Tohdoh wasn't that stupid after all. Fine…leave them alone it's just a matter of the master answering to the yelp of his dog. That Kirihara…I guess he was more suspicious of me than I had thought."

Genbu said as he rose from the sofa walking over to the window to peak outside through the blinds using his fingers.

"…Yes they probably had a bug on him. If that's the case then I better let him leave. That's right there is no reason to give them an excuse."

The corrupt Prime Minster began walking towards the door to the study.

"The schedule change? Heh you fool. Once they step into this mansion they are doomed. The demon is not that stupid."

A brief silence passed as the caller revealed something to the prime minster.

"Ashford…I see so that is the connection. But once I let the dog go home they can't do anything. Besides…heh heh, right, if I accomplish that fact now then I won't be the one to fall, it's been a long time for that demon. As soon as that girl dies, his power is gone…"

Before Genbu could open the door the door opened on its own from the other side and standing there blocking his path was a small ten year old boy dressed in white dogi and navy blue hakama. At first Genbu had expected someone else, but the fact the last person he was expecting to interrupt him angered the man.

"What do you want Suzaku?"

Suzaku didn't respond, but he kept starring at his father his eyes surprisingly emotionless.

"I am asking you again what do you want Suzaku? Your father is very busy right now."

Suddenly the caller interrupted the silent standoff.

"It's me…no its nothing. I'll call you back just keep quiet until then."

Genbu hung up his phone before stuffing the cell phone into his pocket.

"Suzaku…"

"Father…"

Suzaku finally spoke while Genbu was keeping his left arm hidden behind his back.

"Please father, please don't start a war."

The young child asked leaving the elder Kururugi dumbfounded for a moment until he asked.

"What?"

"Please father, don't hurt those two?"

"What are you talking about don't be foolish!"

Genbu snapped in disgust.

"Please father…" Suzaku said grabbing his father's arm trying to stop him, but proceeded to shove him aside.

"Stand aside you stupid child I am going to take care of the girl…stay inside!"

As Genbu shoved his son out of his way and to the ground aside, but he failed to notice the object behind him thanks to his vision being clouded and his entire body went stiff unable to move.

What is happening?

I see your thoughts Genbu Kururugi…you planned to sell my sister off to brothel and now you intend to kill her as a form of mercy…this is something I can't allow and you shall die for it.

A dark menacing voice invaded his mind prompting the Prime Minster to look forward into the darkness of the hallway behind where he saw Lelouch vi Britannia standing there having somehow overcome the drugs he had injected him with to knock him out and paralyze his body for a long period of time. But unlike the times he had seen the boy even as his vision cleared he saw one obvious change.

The young man's eyes had become cat-like seemingly aflame as his eyes glowed brightly in the darkness.

But I won't have to do anything…I'll let Suzaku handle this. Thanks to me not only can you not move, but you failed to notice the object he was hiding. Goodbye Prime Minster.

With those words Lelouch faded into the shadows vanishing from sight before Genbu felt something sharp pierce his torso.

"You can't leave father…"

"Gah…ugh…Suzaku…you!"

Those were the final words of Genbu Kururugi as he fell backwards with Tohdoh's Katana being pulled out as he fell leaving the blade covered in blood. Having phased into the spiritual realm to avoid being seen…Lelouch vi Britannia now within the shadow world watched Genbu's death with a satisfied smile, but yet he oddly felt some pity for Suzaku who would now have to carry with him the burden of murdering his father although he had discreetly helped him commit the crime so technically the former prince had aided in the murder of his friend's father.

As he spoke to Genbu he realized now how his ring had come back to him…it had come into his possession eight years ago as a gift he had received and had discovered its powers of invisibility which he had used to further his own political career by obtaining information about political rivals and enemies so he could ruin them or force them to aid him to further his own gains. He had used it once again tonight to drug Lelouch without him being seen by anyone and was planning to use it when he killed Nunnally, but he failed to realize that the ring had taken the opportunity to slip from his hand falling onto the ground in the room near the young man…to return to the reincarnated hand of its maker

Deciding it was best Lelouch returned to his room before anyone realized he was gone, but not before he cast back once glance at Suzaku.

Hours later after a cleanup was conducted at the estate Suzaku having been cleaned up by Tohdoh although he would have no memory of it happening with old man Kirihara himself overseeing the mop of the situation regarding the death of Genbu Kururugi. Lelouch walked outside after seemingly having recovered from the effects of the drugs, but no one knew he had recovered a lot sooner than expected. He found Suzaku standing in the room looking down at the ground, but he didn't call at to him at first…he instead remembered checking on Nunnally once she had been brought back to her room.

"Brother, thank goodness you are alright…what happened?"

"I am not sure, but everything is alright now?"

"I am glad, but what about Suzaku?"

"You don't need to worry and besides I'll take care of everything…just don't worry everything will be alright now."

Nunnally felt nervous for reasons she couldn't explain, but felt a change come over her brother.

"Suzaku, you're finally here. What happened?"

Lelouch asked with feigned concern knowing full well what had happened hours ago. He observed Suzaku was in new clothes a change from the ones which had likely been stained with blood.

"…Lelouch where is Nunnally?" Suzaku inquired without emotion in his words.

"Oh she just came back…she is inside."

"I see and you are awake now…"

"Just now. Anyway, what happened…considering the situation even you…"

"It's okay everything is over."

Suzaku said interrupting Lelouch again as he held him as he did hours before until he grabbed onto Lelouch's shirt trying to support himself as he fell to his knees.

"Suzaku…hey let go… Actually, can you explain what happened?"

"…Lelouch…I…" Suzaku began as tears filled his eyes.

"?"

"I…"

"What?"

"…am never going to use my power for myself…"

"Suzaku?"

"Never again…I can't…Lelouch…"

"I see…"

You would never join me in remaking this world will you…I could end you here…I feel your desire for death, but…

The imagine of Nunnally and Suzaku together came to mind which caused the young man to immediately reconsider killing him, a possible annoyance he could be in the future yes…however his feelings for Nunnally held him back. Lelouch tried as hard as he could to purge the memory of the crippled and helpless blind girl from his thoughts, but he couldn't…he couldn't part himself of the girl and couldn't even conjure the will to harm her.

However reason in his mind prevailed.

Alright…I won't kill you Suzaku Kururugi…for Nunnally's sake I won't. But yet this hesitation and this human heart I have…

In Undying Lands a man robed in white and silver sat at a white metallic table slipping tea when suddenly he felt a surge of energy coming from the gold ring he wore upon his finger. For thousands of years its power had faded, but now he felt the ring's magic suddenly renewed. At the same time the vision of a flaming eye appeared in his mind causing him to quickly drop his tea cup and swiftly remove the ring from his finger.

Sitting across from him sat a woman in black shimmering robes possessing long black hair and beautiful features, but her face held sadness for the world…yet now she was concerned for the man across from her.

"What is it?" Nienna inquired.

"I am not sure, but…something has regained its power when it shouldn't have…" Olorin spoke while obviously concerned for the possible implications behind his ring, Narya the Ring of Fire, regaining its power where it should have lost it.

There was only one way for the ring to have regained its powers…he felt it slowly for the past several years…only tonight did he feel its power fully revive.

The following day Lelouch was brought into an empty room of the mansion they remained at where the former prince was meeting with a man in a black suit wearing dark glasses and a scar on his neck. The older man was seated on a blue tatami with his legs tucked under him. Before he spoke he bowed with his hands upon the mat he sat on in traditional Japanese greeting.

"It's been awhile Prince Lelouch, since Narita."

Lelouch remembered the man before them as the one who had escorted them to Japan months ago, but the former prince was silent for a moment before a grin appeared on his face.

"Not Narita…"

The eyebrow on the man's face went up slightly.

"And while isn't accurate I would have to say twenty days ago. Judging from the fact that you are here I have to guess you were able to escape weren't you?"

The room grew still and quiet for a moment until the man removed his glasses.

"You knew?"

"No…I guessed…"

Lelouch replied shrugging his shoulders.

"I thought about it afterwards, so I came to this conclusion based on a few facts I noticed. For one thing…as far as an assassination went it wasn't very well planned out and you guys didn't have any weapons."

Lelouch remembered that about twenty days ago a group of men ambushed Suzaku and himself while they had been on the way home as they had been traveling along a mountain trail. Suzaku bested most of them physically while Lelouch ended the fight with his intellect driving them off. He had thought it was an assassination attempt, but after thinking about it afterwards it was something that was rather far from it since there were better methods of assassination they could have used.

The man laughed wryly at Lelouch's response before he replied.

"I see…I was scolded by my master for that incident."

"I am sure, but what are you here for today? Have you given up on kidnapping us?"

"Yes…actually there is no longer any need for that. We have settled with the people here, so it looks like I can keep my job."

"I see. I understand some of it, but I don't quite get the rest. Why did you even try to kidnap us?"

"That was to protect your life and your sister's."

"I thought the Ashford Family had cut off support for me and my sister?"

"Are you seriously saying that?"

"No…but on the other hand I suppose we would have been dead a long time ago."

It was true in a sense and it was something the Kururugi Family wouldn't have been aware of.

"But yet why…we were stripped of our rights to the throne…what is the point of supporting a prince with no future. Would could Ashford gain from it?"

"It's our policy to seek gain from where there seems to be none."

"I see…very well I will not ask about it any further."

"Thank you very much."

"But at least explain why you are here?"

"Yes I was going to have you and your sister die."

The true meaning behind those words dawned upon Lelouch in that instance.

"I see now it makes sense…that is why you wanted to kidnap us."

"It's my specialty in that area and right now it's the best method open to us. It took awhile, but I now have all of the proper documents together…we only need now the right time to turn them in."

"If you say so then my sister and I will be in greater danger than before."

"Yes…"

"So basically you want us to throw away our name and status?"

"There is no other way to protect you two…if you stop being a prince then the ones after your lives will no longer have a reason to."

Lelouch gave it some thought, but not for too long when he responded.

"Fine."

"You'll accept?"

"It's like you said…it's the best method available. I will not ask anymore about it, but I would like to ask…are the ones seeking to end our lives the ones who killed my mother?"

The man's face hardened for the first time, but Lelouch already knew the answer since he had been picking at the man's mind gleaming through his thoughts. His offer was true and genuine, but he knew the Ashford's were going to be keeping them for liability insurance only.

However…

Lelouch proceeded to rub the gold ring upon his right index finger.

I'll make sure it all works out.

Lelouch knew he would have to wait patiently anyway since this young child's body he was stuck in restricted him and offered a number of vulnerabilities and weaknesses so playing dead and hiding would work for him the best right now…at least until he got a little older at least. He didn't quite understand how his creation had been restored and yet found its way back to him nor did he comprehend how he was reborn into this world in the boy of this child after being crippled and left as a mere spirit by the Ring's destruction, but regardless he would wait and regain even more strength as his new body grows into maturity.

Meanwhile across the land and sea on the far corner of the planet in a desolate desert region near the foot of a dead ancient volcano that has been inactive beyond what human history has recorded. There were no resources within miles of the mountain so no one had bothered settling upon the lifeless landscape save for perhaps some desert wildlife like a lizard which was scurrying about the ground searching for a meal.

As it searched the creature stopped suddenly as it felt the ground under its feet beginning to shake, but soon bits of metal began shooting up through the ground and collecting in the air where black cloth and armor began to materialize. As the lizard fled more began to materialize up to a total of eight beings. Minutes passed as eight dark beings grabbed in black cloth and mail armor had taken shape upon the barren soil near the foot of what was once Orodruin, but better known to those during the Third and Second ages as Mount Doom.

After their bodies had reformed after having disintegrated upon the destruction of the One Ring and the flaming rocks raining down upon them and their mounts, but now for what reasons beyond them and their master they had returned to the world reforming from nothing…only the ninth member of their group failed to reappear.

Likely due to his death at the hands of others before the destruction of the ring, but regardless eight of perhaps the most terrible of servants known were now walking the Earth once more. The Nazgul along with their master had returned and they sensed their master had the ring once more.

Back in Japan as he lay in his bed Lelouch opened his eyes aware of the return of his deadest servants. He was very pleased by this outcome…while it wasn't armies of orcs and goblins at his beck and call the Nazgul were a lot more than he had could have ever hoped for. Closing his eyes he reached out to the minds of his servants to communicate with them.

He didn't sense the Lord of the Nazgul, but it was fine he still had eight out of nine which was far better than none.

'My servants hear your master…search the ruins of my tower and bring me whatever relics and tools I can use.'

'We hear and obey…master…'

The Ringwraiths howled into the night releasing a terrible screech of death as they began moving according to their master's will. Although he had no idea how he came back to this world even through by all accounts with the ring's destruction it should have crippled him for all time, but yet he was reborn in a human form with his ring back upon his finger.

The Dark Lord Sauron had returned.

A/N: there were a lot of ways I had planned for this to happen besides Lelouch being the reborn form of Sauron and among those was making him his descendant, but that idea was scrapped due to a lack of materials and ideas. Now pairings haven't been fully decided yet, but other LOTR characters like Gandalf will appear in the coming chapters while we'll have a seven year time skip. The selection for most of the servants has already been decided and in light of the numerous revisions and rewrites the poll for the original pairings for this fic has been discarded and I'll worry about pairing Lelouch will someone until later on (although I am moving to pair Lelouch with Caster a.k.a. Medea). I'll update chapters when I can and I do have a decent number already made, but I'll take my time posting because I want to get a collective feedback on the story so far and see if there isn't anything I can do to make it better and such.

Updates will be slow, not only for my other two works I am doing, but if there are any revisions and modifications I need to make I can do so. I have other chapters premade already, but I will wait for awhile for feedback and reviews to gauge how well the story is progressing...but its mostly for when I introduce any LOTR characters and conduct any battles involving the Nazgul and such for example.
