Code Rorschach –

Rorschach walk down the dark alleyway of the bright streets of the Britannian settlement. He's been in this world for years now. A world where the Britannian empire never fell. He was there when Japan fell and became Area 11. He's been keeping in the shadows handling the underworld. He seen the rot underneath the bright lights of the settlement and seen how the Britannians in charge of the settlement really are.

He could hear the police cars heading for the noble's home he had broken into. The noble was in charge of the sex slave ring, he had broken up. He paid the noble a visit after he learned of who was running the ring. His name and appearance made people scared as the people of his world.

He made his way back to Ashford Academy after removing his face. The school is large and extravagant, having even its own chapel, and run primarily by the student body president, Milly Ashford. Mill's reign is such that the school is frequently thrown into chaotic competitions or festivals for little or no reason.

The school is different as it's the only school in the settlement that Japanese can enroll in the Academy and receive the same education as the Britannian students but they are not free from discrimination and persecution by the other Britannian students such as the proclaimed Student Self-Defense Force. That was until he broke up the club, as in broke he meant broken.

He works and lives on the Academy's grounds as a handy man. He also the guardian of two children, one in his teens the other still a child. He found both of them wondering in the rubble that was once a city. He saved them from some Britannian soldiers who were shooting at anything that moved. The boy saw what he did while the girl in the wheelchair couldn't. He stayed with them till they reached the Ashford manor. They took their mother's family name and he became their uncle. He still can't find a reason why he did so. It just felt right to him.

Ashford Academy -

Rorschach sneak into the school grounds using one of the many hidden ways in. He had spent so long using the back ways that he now knows just about all the ways in and out without ever being seen. In fact he knows just about all the underground paths and which ones have cameras and which didn't. For it didn't matter what world he's in. Few people paid any attention to a homeless looking man with a sign that says the 'End is Near'.

He enters the building that serves as the privet house of Lelouch and Nunnally. He also lives in the building as well as the maid who had waited up for him.

"Late night Kovacs?" Sayoko the maid that cares for Nunnally. She was the maid for Milly before she was given a new duty to care for Nunnally. She is also the only one who knows that he's the mask hero as some call him.

"Yes it was," Rorschach said to her.

"Do be careful not to be caught. It will be bad for the children if they learned that their uncle is a mask killer," Sayoko said.

"If, I don't do it, no one else will," Rorschach said as he walks into his room to get some sleep.

Next Day -

Rorschach woke up past noon, his body still sore from what he put it through last night. The nurse station of the school kept him on his feet. Everyone has the idea that he's in a fight club, which he started the rumor. He did find it useful that he had people who are trained in medical, he heals much faster then he did before.

"Uncle?" Nunnally ask hearing him exiting from his room.

"Yes?" he ask her.

"Brother is out with Rivalz again. After you eat can you pick them up from the gambling place?" she ask him.

"I will," he said as he walks off to the kitchen to get something to eat.

"I hope you're not planning on leaving so soon," Sayoko said as she made sandwiches.

"Got to find Lelouch," Rorschach said as he grab some sandwiches and left.

A few minutes later as Sayoko was sitting with Nunnally watching the news. The newsflash of an attack happening downtown came on.

Downtown -

Lelouch found himself facing off with a firing squad of soldiers, right behind him is the body of a young girl with long green hair. She was shot in the head by the lead soldier after she did something to him.

The soldier on the end on the right gave out a gasp of pain as his head was snap from behind. Rorschach grabbed the machine gun from the dead soldier and using the body as a shield shot down the other soldiers all standing in a straight line. The commander opens fire but only hit the human shield while, Rorschach got him with a head shot.

"Kovacs you came," Lelouch said in awe seeing his uncle taking down all those soldiers.

"We're leaving," Rorschach said dropping the spent gun. With all the shooting going on outside he didn't want to draw too much attention carrying a gun around.

"Hands up!" one of the soldiers who was knock to the ground when one of the dead soldiers fell back on him.

"Drop your weapon!" Lelouch shouted feeling a strange power coming forth.

The soldier eyes glowed purple he did as he was commanded and was killed as Rorschach grabbed two pieces of rubble and smash the soldiers head between them.

"What was that?" Rorschach ask.

"I don't know, the girl did something to me," Lelouch said pointing to the dead girl behind him.

"She gave you a power? Next soldier we find, see if you can command them to die," Rorschach said as after being with Manhattan for so long, he's use to strange things. (1)

"You're taking this well," Lelouch said.

"Seen too much to surprise me at this point," Rorschach answers.

A knightmare frame came crashing through the wall.

"You two what happen here!" a female voice shouted through the loudspeakers.

"My name is Bart Sparks, and this is my bodyguard, my father is a duke. My ID card is in my breast pocket. After you confirm who I am, I'll request your protection for the two of us," Lelouch said thinking of a cover story on the fly.

The pilot, Villeta Nu, veteran Knightmare pilot and member of the Purist faction, was confused out of her mind. What the hell was a member of the nobility doing here? Worse still, if he was who he said he was, she was likely screwed, a word from his father would be enough to have her demoted, and she could kiss her hopes of becoming nobility goodbye. On the other hand, if he was lying, and she screwed up well, the other possible outcome was equally unpleasant.

"Stay there, I'll check your ID card myself," she shouted.

The cockpit of the knightmare opening up. Lelouch had figured out that his new power needed him to see the other person's eyes to work, as the soldier's eyes had glowed purple. He had to make sure it works as he thinks it does, and it's good of a time to test it out. He waited until the woman landed on the floor and let go of the line that she used to descent before once more activating the power.

"Now, I order you to surrender me your Knightmare and tell me your name and rank," Lelouch commanded.

"Understood," Villeta immediately responded, twirling the pistol that was previously in her hand around, offering it to Lelouch while the other hand pulled out the activation key for her personal Knightmare.

"Useful," Rorschach said, not as useful as Manhattan would be but useful none unless.

"The code number is XG21G2D4. My name is Villeta Nu, ranked lieutenant-knight," she explained before throwing the key to him.

"Thank you lady Villeta," Lelouch spoke as he caught it.

When her sight returned, she realized that she was standing in an empty building, filled with nothing but corpses.

"What the…?" she muttered, her eyes widening in shock. She also noticed, sadly, that her Knightmare was nowhere in sight.

Outside -

Rorschach watch from the sidelines as Lelouch gave commands from the stolen Knightmare, and getting them some Knightmare frames of their own from a train car. He meanwhile made his way to the command center, killing any Britannian soldier he came across.

A group of soldiers were killed as a grenade was toss in the middle of their group.

Another group headed into the alleyway they saw their commanding officer get pulled in. All the found was his dead body at the dead end. A figure burst out of the pile of trash opening fire on the tightly pack group.

A arm burst from a doorway pulling a soldier inside the building. The others in the squad followed into the building. The two standing outside only heard the screams. The two were going to bolt but found themselves frozen in place, as two knives were jabbed into the backs of their skulls.

A armored APC carrying reinforcements blew up with the soldiers in it. The armor couldn't withstand the rocket designed to take out a Knightmare frame.

A tank did little better as a grenade was toss down the barrel.

Around the mobile command center the soldiers guarding the prince, disappeared one by one. When the area was clear, Rorschach entered the command center. He felt alive again, it reminded him of all the times he had faced off against impossible odds. He became aware of a soldier coming down the hallway he just came from and soldiers coming up ahead. Ducking into a side room, he watches as the soldier walk pass him, and in a familiar voice ordered the soldiers to kill themselves.

"You know where to go Lelouch?" Rorschach ask him.

"Kovacs you're here?" Lelouch ask turning around and saw the mask killer.

"It's Rorschach," he answers. "No time to answer questions. Need to stop Clovis."

"Right," Lelouch said leading his uncle to the command center where his brother is. And he knows this would be just the beginning.

Author's Notes -

1 - Being around a god like being would really cause a person to get use to a lot. It would take a lot to surprise Rorschach at this point.
