Code Geass R2: The moment before Zero
Part One
There was a grim feeling around the base, the members of the Black Knights recovering after their defeat in what was already being called the Black Rebellion. Amoung them they found themselves asking 'Where is Zero?' 'Why did Zero leave?' 'Who was Zero anyway?'
One of them knew, of course. But that knowledge had changed everything for her.
CC looked up as Kallen Kouzuki charged in to the room, the slightly shorter purple haired woman walking right over to where CC sat at the desk once used by Zero. “Yes?” she asked mildly as Kallen loomed over her.
“You knew he was Lelouch, didn't you?” Kallen demanded, her eyes narrowed in anger as she stared down at the calm faced CC.
That made CC raise her eyebrows in surprise. “How did you find out?” she asked her intently, studying the other woman.
“I saw him unmasked,” Kallen growled out as she added bitterly, “when Suzaku Kururugi captured him.”
CC winced slightly, then her golden eyes narrowed in thought. “They'll take him to the Emperor, but I doubt they'll kill him,” she softly mused before adding firmly, “we must be ready to rescue Zero.”
“Damn it!” Kallen punched the table hard, a bit of blood trickling from a torn knuckle, “How can he be Zero!? Answer me that!”
CC remained surprisingly calm as she met Kallen's eyes. “Do you really want to know?” she asked, frowning as Kallen's blood stained the desk.
Kallen met her eyes, “Of course I do.”
“Then let's talk,” CC rose, offering Kallen her hand then leading her over to one of the couches. They sat down, CC looking thoughtful as she murmured, “I don't know all the details, but I think it began for him when....”
It took some time to tell the story, even as CC bandaged Kallen's hand. “So Lelouch,” Kallen asked her weakly, “is a Britanian prince in hiding who hates his father so much that he wants to destroy the whole empire?”
“That would sum it up, yes,” CC agreed, not adding the revenge motive for the murder of his mother. Considering Kallen's own family issues it might be better if she stayed silent.
“What a bastard,” Kallen muttered, unsure if she was talking about Lelouch or the Emperor. “So Zero ditched us to go save his sister?”she had to ask.
“Yes,” CC nodded, “he gambled on her anonymity to protect her, but apparently someone figured out her importance.”. She frowned at Kallen as she softly added, “And I don't consider him to be a bastard.”
“He used us,” Kallen burst out in lingering anger and frustration, “he lead us along and he wasn't even Japanese!”
CC shook her head wryly as she pointedly asked, “Did he ever claim to be?” She looked at the startled Kallen as she continued forcefully, “Never once did he claim that. And you were certainly willing to follow him not knowing who he was in the Shinjuku ghetto.”
Kallen wanted to argue with her, but she knew that the enigmatic CC had a point. She and the others hadn't asked, hadn't questioned who he was or what he was doing there, they were all just thankful for all the help. And he had been a great help, it was impossible to imagine they could have come half as far without him.
CC got up, the green haired woman in dressed all in black walking back over to the desk. On top of it sat one of the sophisticated black helms that Zero had worn, looking almost like a skull as CC picked it up and cradled it in her hands, studying it.
“What are we going to do now?” Kallen had to ask. Technically, Ohgi should have been in charge, but apparently he had been taken by the Britannians. Other than him there was no clear succession, and the Black Knights would soon flounder without a leader.
Activating a switch CC made the back of the helm fold back, then she donned the helm. “I or others will have to pass as Zero,” she said calmly, looking much like Zero as she faced Kallen, “at least until we can rescue him.”
Kallen blurted, “You're kidding.”
A device in the helm also simulated Zero's voice as CC said calmly, “I'm not his equal as a tactician, but someone will have to try.” She removed the helm as she added in her normal voice, “We need to try to keep the hopes of the Japanese people alive.”
Kallen gave her a wary look as she dryly noted, “Not to mention using Zero to keep control of the Black Knights.”
“That, too,” CC agreed.
Kallen bit her lip but she knew that CC was right, they would need to deceive the other freedom fighters in Japan and to a lesser extent the Black Knights. “All right,” Kallen got up from the couch as she walked over to stand by CC's side, “I'll do what I can to help, too. I really wonder if we'll be able to pull it off, though....”
“Good,” CC actually smiled slightly as she teased Kallen, “the Knights are used to seeing you chase after Zero, if you don't do that to me they'll know something's wrong.”
“I do not chase after Zero!” Kallen protested as a faint blush colored her cheeks, standing out vividly against her pale skin.
“That's not what the others say,” CC smiled.
“Hmph!” Kallen shut up, deciding it would be no use to argue. “I'll have to pose as Zero too,” she said thoughtfully as she considered the whole situation, “the people need to see him and his witch advisor together too.”
CC put a hand on her arm, “I'll be appropriately humble then.”
Kallen gave her a wary look, “Sure you will....”
CC smirked, “Don't you trust me?”
Kallen shrugged, “To be honest, no. You still haven't explained your connection to Zero.”
CC gave her one of her mysterious smiled, “He and I were partners.” Her tone dropped into a sensual purr, “Special partners.”
Kallen looked at her even more cautiously, “You aren't implying....?”
CC moved close, pressing her breasts up against Kallen's arm, “If you want, we can be partners like that too....”
“Stop teasing me,” Kallen blushed furiously as she pulled away.
CC smirked as she watched Kallen flee and murmured, “Who says I was kidding?”
