Machine Lion Roar

"Tah, tah..."

There was a sound of footsteps in the silent corridor, but in the next second, the sound of footsteps stopped.

The stopped figure raised his head and cast his gaze towards the outside of the magnificent but familiar palace where he was.

"Has it calmed down? As a result, the knight may have won. Charles, the 98th emperor of the Britannia Empire, may have already left the field."

In the massive battle just now, even if he was in the depths of this palace, he could still see the thousand-meter-high scarlet giant fighting with the machine that had never been seen before.

Although the battle between them was terrible, after discovering that it would not affect the palace, the figure also withdrew from the sidelines and continued to walk towards the depths of the palace.

"The battle is over. It's a pity that His Majesty the Emperor didn't lose in my hands." Withdrawing his gaze, the figure standing in the corridor turned around and came to a huge door.

Lifting the head covered by the mask, the figure stared at the gorgeous pattern in front of him for a long time, but he was very familiar with it, and was familiar with the gate that had the meaning of changing fate in his life.

Can I remember that in that year, when he was 9 years old, his mother died and his sister had her feet and her eyes disabled.

Under such circumstances, he opened the door in front of him with a small body and a young age. In front of many nobles with ridicule, funny faces, etc., he dared not fear his father, Brittany. Charles di Britania, the 98th emperor of the Asian Empire, raised questions and requests.

As a result, after that, Lelouch and his sister Nanali not only lost the status of prince and princess, but became protons under Charles's order and were sent to another country.

So far, the fate of him, Lelouch V. Britannia, has changed.

"Back here again."

Under the mask, Lelouch's gaze changed, and in the end he raised his hand, pushing open the door in front of him as he did in the past.

"Ka, rumbling..."

With the rumble of the door being pushed open, the audience hall that still clearly existed in the memory gradually appeared before his eyes.

Unlike the scene in memory, the nobles who stood in this audience hall have disappeared.

Similarly, the figure that had a burly figure, like a hill, had put a lot of pressure on Lelouch also disappeared.

It was replaced by another figure that made Lelouch more jealous, even with inexplicable emotions.

"emperor!"

Under the mask, Lelouch's voice rang dullly.

That's right.

The figure sitting on the throne is the 99th emperor of the Britannia Empire who has captured Lelouch's geass ability.And he was the young man Charles called Lelouch from another world.

"Are you here? You really are here. Lelouch."

The young man in a white imperial robe slowly stood up from the throne, looked at the young man with a mask and a black cloak below, and smiled lightly.

"Looking at you, it seems surprising."

Lelouch did not take off his mask.

Even if he was already identified by the emperor.

"No, I was not surprised. In fact, neither you nor Charles came here. I would not be surprised. Because, from the beginning, I was prepared for you and your arrival."

The smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth became stronger, and then he raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

"Snapped!"

A beam of light projected from top to bottom on the right side of the emperor.

The next moment, the figure that appeared under the light made Lelouch's eyes widened.

His hands are tied,

Hanging under your feet,

The woman who used to like to ridicule him intentionally or unintentionally,

The woman he has always called the witch,

Now,

He became a prisoner at the mercy of others.

"Haha. It's a touching reunion."

The emperor turned around, walked to the woman who was hung in the air, and looked at Lulu Xiu condescendingly.

"Lelouch. Do you know? I am very jealous of you!"

"Jealous?"

Seeing the horror of the witch, Lelouch, who had to remain calm, frowned, and subconsciously began to analyze the emperor's words.

"Haha. That's right. I'm not only jealous of you, but I'm even more jealous of Lelouch, Lelouch in every parallel world. Do you know? No matter that world..."

The emperor's voice was lowered slightly, and he looked coldly at the silent witch who was suspended in the air.

"She has always existed as Lelouch v. Britania's most loyal ally. Even if Lelouch v. Britania has fallen into displacement, it has become inferior to a dog. , The witch will never leave."

As he said, the emperor smiled.

"Haha. Lelouch. Do you think I have been secretly searching for a way to contact you? If not, I deliberately let go of my guard, I'm afraid you still don’t know about this world, the world of c among."

"You brought me here?" Lelouch was shocked.

"!"

"Kang Dang!"

After a gunshot, the mask that Lelouch was wearing was mostly shattered.

A tinge of blush fell from his forehead and passed through Lelouch's right eye.

At the same time, it was the witch who was hung in the air that was awakened by the gunfire.

As soon as she woke up, she saw Lelouch's shattered mask and the scar that looked a little shocking.

"Lelouch! Be careful! He...hmmm! hmmm! ummm!!"

Before she could finish what she wanted to say, her mouth was suddenly covered by a force, and she couldn't say a word at all.

"Don't kill the scenery too much. Witch."

A red light lit up between the emperor's eyes, and two silhouettes of birds that wanted to spread their wings and soared also lit up in the depths of his pupils.

"Don't waste your effort. Although I can't make you close your mouth completely, but if you can't say it, I can still do it. You, just show me obediently!"

"emperor!!"

Suddenly, a dark shadow dashed through the air and flew towards the emperor like lightning.However, the emperor gently turned his head to avoid this shadow.

"Huh. Are you finally willing to take off that ridiculous mask?"

The emperor sneered and raised his eyes to look down.

It turned out that the black shadow just now was the mask shattered by bullets.It was Lelouch who threw it out while the emperor was not paying attention.

It's just useless, that's it.

"As you like. This mask represents my determination. The emperor." Lelouch raised his hand and wiped off the bright red around his eyes, his eyes also lit up with the emperor's red light.

"Oh? Has Geass recovered? No wonder you have the confidence to stand in front of me. I'm afraid, this is also for your help? Haha."

The emperor laughed a few times, his eyes widened suddenly, and he looked directly at Lelouch's eyes.

"Come on! Let me see your determination! Lelouch!!"

Suddenly,

Red light bursts,

In the eyes of both parties, the pair of birds flew high at the same time, flying towards each other.

――――――――

That night.

Ashford Academy.

Lelouch finally returned home after finishing a day of school studies (actually to deal with the sudden whims of the student council president Mi Lei).

"Welcome back! Brother."

as always.

Greeted Lelouch back home is his sister Nanali, and the maid son.

"Welcome back! Master Lelouch. Let's eat now, or is it?" Shi Zi asked Lelouch respectfully while pushing her wheelchair behind Nanali.

Lelouch nodded, pulling his collar, and slightly relieved, and said, "Yeah. Let's start eating! I believe Nanaly is hungry too. Sorry! Brother came back late."

Nanali, who was sitting in the wheelchair, raised her head slightly, and shook her head facing the direction where Lelouch was.

"No. Nanalie is not hungry. It's just that my brother is tired to cope with the task of the chairman, right? Well, after my brother takes a shower, let's eat again!"

Seeing his sister so sensible, Lelouch couldn't help but soften.

"No. Let's eat first! Nanali. My brother is not tired yet."

"Really?"

"um, yes."

In the end, Nanali nodded and approved Lelouch's decision.So, under the service of the son, the two brothers and sisters started a warm dinner.

However, before they had to move the knife several times, the door was suddenly knocked open.

"Lelouch, Nanali! Run!"

It was Mi Lei, the president of the student union, who broke the door.

I saw that the school uniforms worn by many of the girls who were always whimsical had been dyed into a blockbuster.

And that face with a nice face was even more covered with dust and blushing stains.

"President?!"

Lelouch was surprised and stood up immediately, looking at Mi Lei in horror.

"President, isn't it?!"

Mi Lei nodded, shouting urgently.

"Yes! Hurry up! Get out of here now! Otherwise..."

"Who are you!!"

"Da da da!"

As soon as Shizi's exclamation sounded, it was interrupted by a series of gunfire.

Upon hearing the gunshots, Mi Lei's expression suddenly panicked.

"Quick! Quick! Lelouch, pick up Nana, and run away from the window!"

"Da da da!"

As soon as Mi Lei finished speaking, she was stepped into the back of the world.

As she fell to the ground, a group of soldiers in unidentified armed uniforms rushed into the room.

"Lelouch Lampeluki. Nanaly Lampeluki! Target, confirm."

The leading man looked at Lelouch who was blocking Nanaly behind him, nodded and raised his right hand.

"Charles!!"

The next second, at Lelouch's roar, gunfire sounded.

Countless bullets drowned Lelouch and Nanali in a flash.

When she fell, Lelouch watched Nanaly stop breathing.

――――――――-

"what!!"

Lelouch jumped out of the bed when his lungs resumed breathing.

"This, this is? My room?"

Lelouch looked at his hands and couldn't help but wonder.

Obviously, I should have died under the spear just now, why is he still alive?!

In surprise, the door was knocked.

"Master Lelouch. You have a letter."

It is the voice of the son.

"Shizi? Isn't she dead too?"

In doubt, Lelouch opened the room and personally took the letter from the dead but still alive.

"Shizi, what is Nanaly doing now?"

After receiving the letter, Lelouch asked casually.

"Yes. Miss Nanali is now making paper cranes in the living room." The son respectfully told him what Lelouch wanted to know.

"Really? Then, let Nanaly fold the paper crane well! Later, I might have to go out." Lelouch glanced at the envelope in his hand, and ordered casually.

"Yes. Master Lelouch."

After half an hour.

Lelouch rushed out of Ashford Academy.

Came to the amusement park with a serious face.

"Xia Li. Are you here?"

Half an hour ago, Lelouch who opened the envelope discovered that it was Xia Li who wrote the letter.

In addition, the letter mentions that Lelouch is the secret of zero.In shock, Lelouch had to do what the letter said, and came to this amusement park alone to meet Xia Li, who claimed to know her secret.

"Lelouch. Here you are."

really.

When Lelouch came to the merry-go-round, Xia Li's figure also appeared.

There were still tears on the face of the weak girl, but it could be seen that the girl was happy with Lelouch's arrival.

"Xia Li. You..."

Lelouch was stunned, and moved his mouth subconsciously, but didn't know what to say.

"No. It's okay. Lelouch. I'm just, just a little excited." Xia Li shook her head slightly, then stepped forward, lowered her head into Lelouch's arms, and asked softly.

"Now. Lelouch. Are you really zero?"

Lelouch's face froze. Just as he was about to say something, a strange memory suddenly poured out of his mind.

It's a torrent!

It was a torrent of horror that immediately buried the city under the mountain.

And under this mountain torrent, among the people buried, Xia Li's father happened to be.

The moment this memory appeared, Lelouch seemed to have sorted out the situation.However, his silent look in Xia Li's eyes already meant it by default.

Suddenly, a violent attack hit Lelouch's abdomen, shattering Lelouch's thoughts and consciousness.

"Xia...Li."

At the end of the disappearance of consciousness, the last scene that Lelouch saw was the tearful Xia Li following him on the road to the Yellow Spring in despair.

"No!! Xia Li!"

It is another transition between darkness and light.

However, this time, Lelouch didn't need to go through those weird experiences anymore, and once again returned to the audience hall.

"Oh? Are you awake? Lelouch. How do you feel? After seeing all of Lelouch's life experiences."

The emperor sitting on the throne raised his mouth slightly, and Lelouch, who was still looking confused, said.

"All... Lelouch?"

"Right! What you saw just now was the memory of Lelouch in other worlds. Among them, some were secretly dealt with by the empire before revenge was initiated. Some died accidentally. Yes, the real body was discovered and died in the hands of a girl who loved Lelouch."

Finally, the emperor's eyes fell on the witch.

"What's more, it is in the hands of his most trusted ally, the accomplice of his life. Do you think so?"

"You! People of another world!! Shut up! I'm not what you know!!" Suddenly, the witch gathered her strength and loudly refuted the emperor's words.

"Huh! Really? Are you? I am not in charge, but he is in charge! Lelouch Lampeluki!! Open your eyes and show me the true face of this witch!!"

Red light reappears,

Lelouch's eyes went dark.

When the light resumed again, he found that he had actually returned to the moment his fate began, during the attack.

And under his feet, lies a young girl who was hit and whose life is unknown.

"I'm sorry! Although you are a student at Ashford Academy, you have seen things you shouldn't have seen. So, please go and die!"

In front, it was the officer of the Britanian Empire and the soldiers he led.

"Back here again?"

Lelouch frowned slightly, but he raised his hand without thinking and gave orders in an absolute command tone.

"Ordered in the name of Lelouch v. Britannia, go to death!"
