Chapter 01: The Plea
The morning mist hung low over the lush rainforest, clearing up as the sun rose through the sky over the green canopy. As its light filtered through the leaves and branches, it touched onto the vibrant orchids and ferns that dotted the forest floor, giving natural spotlights for all the small critters and insects that called the forest their home to fly, crawl, and scamper about.
Through the trees sat a large clearing dominated by...

Chapter 6: Blonde Peacock’s Last Crow
For the people who called the Shinkuju ghetto their home, their day had been nothing but confusion, grief, pain, loss, and range. It wasn’t easy to call the ghetto home, not when its shattered remains reminded all old enough to remember what their city, what their nation used to be.
When the Viceroy appeared and brought with him death and destruction, they were reminded of what led to their country being destroyed and them...

Chapter 13: End of Heartache
Nunnally didn't need context; she figured that he realized that it was a sheer overflow of anger and hatred that she pushed past her trauma. She also knew that he must have been saddened to know it took this for that to happen. "It always has, big brother. But now that I can see, will you also use your geass on me?"
Nunnally's question stuck deep in Lelouch's heart, with both C.C. and Kallen feeling like they had been punched. No one w...

Chapter 05: Birth of the White Knight
With the go-ahead, the crew serving under Lloyd quickly sprang into action. The medical trucks in front of them cleared the path as the trailer opened up, allowing the Lancelot to slowly be lowered to the street. “Z-01 Lancelot activating. Releasing hatch. Z-01 Lancelot activating, stand by for activation, pellet extension initiating.”
As that went on, Suzaku put on his newly gifted pilot suit. He...

Schneizel, a man that was used to wearing a carefully crafted mask that concealed whatever emotion he might be feeling at any given moment, felt that mask slip for the first time since he saw the massacre of the SAZ, and just like then, it was the result of same man, a man he had loved, respected, and feared.
Lelouch, his rebellious yet ingenious and daring little brother. His ploy to get him to lower his guard had worked marvellously, though perhaps it was because he needed time to pre...

Chapter 04: Tin Men Bleed
Deep within the ghetto that had once been one of Japan's commercial and administrative centers, an area of the capital where most of Japan's regional and international companies had located their headquarters, if one had visited the place before the war, they would have been amazed by the sights of the modern city, its business, and all the things one could do both in the day and when the sun set and the nightlife kicked in.
But it had be...

Chapter 11: Chink in One’s Armour
As a storm continued to grow in intensity outside, its force crashing into both sides' forces, whether in the sea or on land, the Damocles remained unaffected by the consequences of its main weapon, as it was designed to be. Thanks to its redundant float units and propulsion systems, it remained stable even when the floating ships around it struggled to remain in position.
Despite not feeling so much as the ground vibrate, Nunna...

Chapter 43: Back on the Grind
The summer night was cloaked in an inky darkness, broken only by the distant glow of the crescent moon and the flicker of the stars above. These celestial bodies reflected off the calm waters of Toyama Bay. Stretching out into the water lay an old, worm pier. One made from brick and concrete had stood the rest of the time in the decades since it was built, but it wasn't pretty by any means. Covered in cracks, parts had already fallen into t...

Chapter 44: Offers and Names
"Caring for people when they need it. So would we be doing all that or something else?" Kendo asked as she could see the reasoning behind such a thing. Plenty of heroes had some pretty big agencies. Endeavor, for example, had a large tower in Tokyo. She wouldn't be surprised if he had space for that…okay, she would. Endeavour didn't seem the type, but he had the space and resources.
"I would assume that you'll be doing a mix, but it ...

They had managed to find an exit from the tunnel that led into what seemed to be an old warehouse. Lelouch appreciated that it lowered their chances of air support spotting them. Like the silent girl, Lelouch kept low as he crawled up the stairs, not caring how dirty his uniform got ."Stay quiet. I'll check it out." Lelouch whispered to the girl, who nodded back. Getting up a little further, there was a burst of g...

In the skies over the vast stretches of the Pacific Ocean and its icy, turbulent waters, the battle waged on without any sign of ceasing or any pause. On the seas, ships of Britannia, manned by sons and daughters of the empire, fought tooth and nail against vessels of the UFN and those traitors who sided with the man who destroyed their capital and spilled the blood of millions. On both sides, they dutifully listened to commanders, relayed changes to the battl...

The smell of exotic spices, foods, and drinks waffled through the air of the open market; people of all shapes and sizes went about their days; merchants advertised their wares and negotiated for the best price they could before clapping or shaking hands when those deals were struck. Customers walked about the place, some stopping at one of the many stores and stalls, some conversing with those they came with. Though Midoriya could hardly...

It was the early morning commute, but one with no sun. It had started raining sometime in the early morning hours, and that didn't change even now. To handle this, those who walked down the streets did so with raincoats and umbrellas to shield them from the rain. At the same time, those who drove largely respected such folk who didn't speed and avoided the patches of water that gathered on the edges of the road, moving towards one of t...

Looking over the Britannian forces that had been assembled, the Black Knight units had joined up with Schneizel's loyalists, with the Damocles floating in the center of the line. Schneizel, like Lelouch, gave a speech to inspire their forces before the fighting could start. “Lelouch claimed the throne through deceit, blood, and treachery. To create his twisted vision of what Britannia should be, no trick, no death is t...

Across the ocean from I-island, the sun beat down hard on southeastern Nevada's dry desert landscape. The summer temperatures made it a nuisance to be out in the sun, with those who made the trip having good reason. For villains, it was a chance to move without worrying too much about law enforcement as there was a lack of people to suspect and call them out, but that didn't mean they were immune. One such gang learned the hard way.

The rhythmic chorus of the cicadas carried over the warm summer air. So far from town, they played their melodies, overlapping but not interfering with one another. The spot held a small field of sunflowers, tall and robust, as they danced in the breeze as two boys ran through the field, smiles on their faces and laughter in their voices. They came from different worlds, yet in that moment, they were just two youthful souls spending t...

In many ways, Britannia was an old-style society that revered and honored the traditions of the old world that many countries had long since abandoned. This was why they retained a social cast that placed royals and nobles above the common man and retrained an absolute monarchy, with positions like the Prime Minister and parliament set up to be below the crown and easily dismissed, replaced, or ignored. It was also why the parliament had not ...
