Code Geass: Alternative Rebellion
Chapter 1 Let the game start
In the Chinese consulate, two men were at the end of a chess game on one side the white king had nearly taken all of the black king's pieces from him while the player in question simply sat contentedly.
"Lelouch I've nearly taken all your pieces and will soon have you in check, I thought you were better than this," Li Xingke said.
"I am. And I'm also sad to say that our game is done but you have lost checkmate," Lelouch said as he put his bishop to check Xingke's king.
"You sacrificed many of your pieces to distract and put me in check with your bishop, a risky play," Xingke said
"No, just tricky it's a balancing act between what to lose and how fast I can get to your king. Let's get to more important topics," Lelouch said with a bit of flair. " What are your thoughts on Caesar? it's an overall upgrade of the Alexander even if all they did was replace the head and cockpit while giving it stronger and slightly heavier armor and a faster transformation. Your thoughts on it".
."They're quite fantastic, although I do prefer my personal Knightmare frame when it comes to battle. They will be great as mass production units from what I have seen."
"Not all of us have our own custom units, my friend," Lelouch said, referring mostly to himself.
"Well, there is that Knightmare we captured from Britannia, what was its name, Gawain?" Xingke reminded Zero.
" And tell them we stole it in the first place, yes Peace Mark and the Wings of Talleyrand would very much like that and ruin their hard work stealing it in the first place". Lelouch shot back. "On a different note, Rakshahata should have a flight system ready in a few months".
" Have you thought of taking the throne after all this?" Xingke asked.
" I don't know," Lelouch replied frankly as he started setting up the chessboard once again. "Every area of the empire has its own rebels with their ideals, goals, and motivations even in general some are completely or mostly fine with the current way of things" speaking about the homeland, areas 2, and 4. "Others want full independence from the empire" thinking of areas 11,5,12,7, and 9. "Then there are those who wish to say in the empire but they desire major reform''" as areas 6,3, and 8."And that's not even going into the mess of that is the Caribbean" as he continued attested to. "Finally, then there are those who simply wish for their homes to stop being a battleground for the major nations'' speak about areas 13 and 10. "even if the UFN works out and defeats my father militarily we still need to rebuild the empire left in his wake and frankly... I'm not sure we can do that," said Lelouch as he began to get up to leave.
"Well, in the end, your people need you as much as we do, also give C.C my regards," Xingke said.
"I will"l finished back Lelouch as he left the room.
Lelouch headed out of the building and toward the parking lot to most people. He was just a freelancer who was making business deals with the Chinese not the leader of an international rebel movement. As he walked over to the sidewalk he found his ride was waiting for him. In a black sports car sat a woman in the driver's seat she had lime green hair and golden eyes as he jumped into the car and the woman moved out of the diver seat into the passenger's seat. Lelouch asked: "Why did you put the roof down?" As he placed his hands on the wheel and started driving.
"I wanted to feel the wind in my hair as I drove to get you mainly because picking you up is the most interesting thing I can do right now," she said rolling her eyes at her lover.
''Really? I wouldn't call area 11 boring" Lelouch shot with a hint of surprise in his voice.
"When I've been around as long as I have one region in turmoil because of foreign occupation is the same as all others but that might just be my age talking or Clovis speeches are really that boring," she remarked jokingly.
"Sometimes I forget that you're older than the empire that code has done wonders for your body" the prince replied snarkily.
" You know better than to comment on women's age Lelouch" CC jokingly replied, her hair flowing into the air as her boyfriend drove his ridiculously expensive car to the only place he would be after being gone for quite so long.
"Well my dear we're halfway to Ashford oh and Xingke gives his regards'' The banished prince said.
"Well, that's nice of him to remember a lady no wonder that little Empress is swooning over him. Though I don't think she's realized that she's far too young for that sort of thing yet." C.C said with a smirk.
"Well after a long trip I would like to do is to see Nunally also I hope Milly hasn't done anything insane"
" Tokyo settlement has a place that is somewhat interesting due to that girl," stated C.C.
"I would say chaotic, not interesting when it comes to describing the incidents done by Milly," said Lelouch with a bit of exasperation.
"Well anyway, it's time to check up on those three as well," C.C said as she changed the topic of the conversation.
As the thought of the other three geass users crossed the mind of the masked rebel that was Lelouch they reached their destination.
Ashford academy was the same as it had always been for Lelouch. It was the place where he was sheltered from his father and uncle before he had ever met C.C and started the Black knights. As he got out of the car he couldn't help but muse on his life for the last three years, going from finding that truck crashed into the river-side and meeting C.C, getting his Geass and traveling all over to the world to build up rebel cells, make alliances with foreign leaders and even learning of the Geass order and the truth of his mother's death. Now, on the eve of war, he was visiting his sister.
At Ashford
Lelouch walked the halls of a familiar school, once more entering the clubhouse to the student council room where he walked into an amusing conversation.
"I don't care about your nobility or the principal's granddaughter. That is too embarrassing of a thing to do at a school for me," A pink-haired girl shouted at the blonde-haired girl that sat across from her.
"Oh come on it won't be that bad," The blonde by the name of Milly assured her friend.
"I agree with Clara" A voice from an orange-haired girl butted in as gently as possible
" Are you turning on me Shirley what about you Nina, Kallen you gals at least see my brilliance right". She had said hoping her friends would back her up.
Meanwhile, the only men in the room including the Prince no one had noticed tried not to get involved.
" I'm siding with Clara and Shirley here. Milly sorry I think one week without Ashford level craziness would be nice" said the sickly yet equally assertive girl that was Kallen "and I think Nina agrees".
This was followed by a girl that was mentioned nodding.
Right before Milly could ask the boys for their opinion she took notice of the black-clad prince that watched their antics with a smile." Oh, Lelouch, nice that came to visit and how long have you been standing there?" Milly Ashford asked with a bit of blush that came from having her former senior watch her mischievous antics like a show.
"Long enough to get some enjoyment out of it Ms. Ashford," said the exiled prince.
As he finished Clara jumped up to hug him. "Lelouch you're back! you should have called," said the hat-wearing girl.
As she did that someone else made their presence known in the room. " Should we talk Lelouch because your tendencies are rubbing off on your family ".The golden-eyed witch said with a smirk.
"Oh hi Celene," said Rai, the vice president of the student council, and one of the two boys who had wisely stayed out of the girls' conversation said.
"Hello to you as well Rai,".the women said back to him
"Well, it's nice your back Lelouch ever since you graduated things have been a lot wilder here" Rivalz spoke up ."Not that I mind" he quickly followed up as not to insult his crush.
"Well it's nice to see you all but I question where is my little sister?" asked Lelouch.
"Oh Nunna she's with Rolo Lulu," said Shirley
"Thank you, Shirley," The prince said as he left the room to look for the youngest of the geass users and his dear sister.
"Well see you all in a bit I need to go help my siscon of a lover check up on his innocent little sister. Tho you all are a class act," the immortal witch said sarcastically.
"Wait, was that an insult or compliment?'' Nina asked after she was sure the pair was out of hearing range.
"I think both,'' Rai said.
"So are we counting to take bets when Lelouch finally proposes to her ?" Clara nonchalantly said.
"Wait, we're still doing that" asked a shocked Shirley. After that, hell broke loose once again in the student council room.
In a different area of the school, in one of its open fields, a girl in a wind chair sat immobile, letting the wind pass by her while a boy who could pass for her brother, did his schoolwork. Meanwhile, a once-prince in black clothes headed over to them both
"Hello Nunally, Rolo," said Lelouch.
"Hello brother,'' the blind girl said, smiling at her brother.
"Hello Lelouch, how was the trip?" asked Rolo.
"Fine, the Chinese Federation is an interesting place. I wish I could take you both" the man preferring to keep a lighter tone with both of them.
"Maybe we could go when school closes for the summer me, you, Rolo, Clara, Rai, and Celene too and maybe the student council as well. I know Milly would enjoy a trip like that and Sayko too I almost forgot about her how rude of me" finished the young girl giggling as she finished the thought.
"That would be fun'' said Rolo.
"So where is Alice since you were not in the clubhouse I thought you two were with her ?" questioned the eldest Lamprouge.
"Oh she was here when we finished our homework but she had to leave for family reasons but it isn't anything to be concerned with her family but it isn't anything to be concerned about, her family just recently moved to area 11, so it's a new situation for her," Nunally explained.
"That's nice to know Nunally, I hope your friend's issues end soon,". The prince told his sister, his melancholic smile going unseen through her blindness After which he walked up to Rolo to speak to him.
"Rolo how's school been," he asked casually as he gave the young boy something.
"I've been doing well," he told his "cousin/legal guardian" while looking back at Nunally to ensure she wasn't paying attention.
"Well, if you're trying to figure out what I gave you. It's a geass canceller''. Lelouch answered the question before it could be.
"Why?"
"Because you'll most likely need it in the coming days and I don't need a spare right now also I have some questions about Nunally new friend". Remarked the former prince.
"Well she reminds me of the other assassins in the geass order but I'm sure she isn't one," he said a bit confused
A bit surprised his overprotectiveness paid off for once he answered the boy "then is she of part of intelligence" he responded to him.
" Maybe she just has traits of a member, or I'm just reading too much into it" Rolo finished talking, doubting the first statement he made.
"Anyways you need to keep an eye on them both Rolo" Lelouch said with a frim smile to the young man.
Meanwhile, a certain witch and princess spoke as the boys talked.
"Celene, how long has my brother been back," asked Nunnally.
"About a day though he got back to area 11 last night when we talked about in the car he spent the morning finishing deals and other last-minute agreements by the afternoon I picked him and took him here. C.C told the girl but not mentioning the other more rebellious plans Zero made with Li Xengke.
"Wished he called me when he got back when he got here," Nunally said with a bit of frown.
"Well you know how your brother loves his surprises and theatrics," C.C said smiling at the former princess.
"I guess so but he should tone it down a bit," Nunally said to her brother's girlfriend. After hearing Nunally's comment C.C laughed just a bit." Was it something I said C.C" confused by her seeming amusement.
"Oh, it's nothing Nunally you just reminded me of something funny that's happening soon," C.C told the girl.
As they finished their conversation they saw Lelouch come over with Rolo.
" Nunally, C.C I hope you, two ladies, were keeping each other entertained," Lelouch said as he walked up to them.
"Yes, we were Lelouch," C.C said back to the prince.
"Good, let's go inside I think I can have Sayoko make something for us and it will be a chance to get Celene to eat something that isn't pizza or a formal diner'' he said jokingly. As C.C glared at him.
Unfortunately for the green-haired Immortal, the young pair found the Prince remark quite funny. After Nunally laughed for a moment she commented "let's hope Milly doesn't take Rai's and Clara's time so they join us later''. Everyone nodded in agreement.
Later on during the night, Sayoko did end up making them dinner, and Rai and Clara did get out of whatever the student council president was planing. They also found to say, Lelouch, Rolo, Nunally along Sayoko a bit gape at the latest of the girl's hight jinks was understatement while C.C laughed for a good hour at her failed plan overall the night was a good one, unfortunately, the pair rebels had to leave the three geass uses and the princess for the night.
At Lelouch's Loft
Lelouch sat on the bed working on various reports while C.C was sleeping beside him in the bed. As when thought reports form the various areas and nations of the world he was glad his laptop was from the EU, not the empire mainly due to size, power, portability. As he finished his work for the night he looked again at the report on the Gawain, Gurren, and pre-production Gekka all were good units. The only problem was they didn't have pilots well and they couldn't use the Gawain in general but those were problems for latter he first turned off his PC and went to bed he had a feeling that he was going to need it.
OK everyone that was the first chapter I hoped you liked it and the next chapter I hope will be a bit more familiar. Also Please review any feedback that would be great. On a final note, some information for you all Clara from the oz manga and Rai form lost colors one search should explain why I put them here. Also here Lelouch is about 19 going on 20 and is in a relationship with C.C how that happened? think their relationship in canon with a few years to grow with people budding in and finally if you figure the game I was referencing and the match that was based on you both nerdier than be and smarter than me.
