Code Geass: Lelouch the Reborn
A/N: This is my first CG fanfiction, and yes I know this idea is pretty cliché.
I don’t own Code Geass, this is purely made for fun.
Multiple gasps were heard as The Evil Emperor’s heart was pierced by his closest friend’s own sword.
As he was expecting his punishment, the Emperor didn’t even try to act surprised as his closest fried slowly made his way to him.
Lelouch felt a great deal of pain as the sword was thrust in his body, but still sighed contently. This was his punishment for all the sins he’d committed, all pain he’d brought and all the deaths he’s guilty of. His mission – Zero Requiem was finished. He knew his sacrifice was needed to bring peace upon the world which, he hoped, no he knew is going to become a better place where his dear sister could live in complete peace.
The boy knew that by directing all the hatred in the world to himself only, he can make them work together for once. His vision was getting blurry , and the world started to slowly disappear in front of his eyes.
Suzaku pulled the sword out of him and since it was the only reason he was still standing, he slid all the way down, only to stop by his sister. He didn’t like keeping secrets from her, but he hoped that one day, she’ll realize how much he truly sacrificed for her sake – that he loved her the most, as he was about to toss that thought away he heard her say - more shout for the whole world to hear;
“Big brother, I love you!” Even thought he couldn’t breathe, the fallen emperor smiled and voiced his last thoughts “Yes, I have... destroyed the world... and created... a.. new” With that, he passed away pleased that he made the rotten and corrupted world he himself lived in, disappear with him, into the eternal darkness.
It was all over, the era of Demon Emperor Lelouch Vi Britannia. Or that’s what the whole world thinks, unlike them, something or someone had other plans for the supposed fallen 99th Emperor of Holy Britannian Empire.
Suddenly, his eyes flew open. Surprisingly Lelouch didn’t find himself in the highs of Heaven, nor in eternal fires of Hell. He was in a completely white space which was so quiet he could hear his own heart beating slowly.
He looked at his surroundings, only to find nothing but endless white. “Where am I?” He examined the place, but his genius mind couldn’t come up with a solution. ”Is this where everybody goes after death?” The corners of his lips curved upwards a little at the thought that after all, he didn’t go to hell as many predicted he will. Is going to be stuck here for eternity? For the all sins he’d made, it wouldn’t surprise him, even if they were for the greater good.
Then, a raspy voice stopped him dead in his tracks, seemingly out of nowhere.“Lelouch Vi Britannia” He flinched at the mention of his name. “Do you feel regret for any of the sins you’ve committed during your life?”
“I believe there is no point in asking that. I deeply regret them, but that’s not going to change anything. If, anything the world is now at peace.” He admitted, images of Euphie, Rolo and Shirley flashed in his mind.
Then, he heard laughing. “Do you honestly think that by killing you, world will have true peace? It will last for maybe two or three years until every country is repaired, then it will all go again. It’s an never ending cycle.The future of human race is war! An everlasting war!” Even if he didn’t want to admit it, the voice was right.
“Why are you telling me all of this anyway? Who are you?” He had a theory who this mysterious voice could be, but he still needed to hear it himself. As on a cue, a huge cloaked figure appeared in front of him out of nowhere.
It’s arms and legs were slim and it was all black besides a pair of piercing blood red eyes. His eyes widened and he backed up a little. “Are you death?”
The figure chuckled again, just this time even louder than before. “You could say that.” He pointed his finger at him. “You, Demon Emperor of Britannia gave me a lot of job during your life. The most of you think I enjoy when someone dies, but it truly is the opposite.”
“Death not enjoying it’s job? Hmph. People tend to make you look like you endlessly enjoy bloodshed.”
“Indeed they did. It gets pretty boring as time passes. However, even since you got your geass I’ve been looking after you. You amused me quite a bit, more than any other human ever did.”
“Oh, is that so? You’re pretty talkative and relaxed for someone who’s supposed to be as dark as death.”
The figure laughed yet again. “I’ve been told. Would you rather like it if I had a grim reaper costume?”
Seeing his slight frown at his joke, Death became even more amused. “You’re not a humor type, I take it? Oh my.”
Lelouch’s eyebrow twitched a little and he quickly changed the subject. “Is this what they call limbo? A place not in the world of living nor dead?”
Death nodded at that. “As deductive as ever. Do you think I talk with every human? I talk only with the special cases. Like yours for an example.” He started walking and gestured Lelouch to follow him. “ Do you think that by merely ending your life as a martyr you’re going to redeem yourself?”
Lelouch mumbled in response. “Well, I never said I did. I know well that my sins are in most cases unforgivable and that I deserve to root in hell.”
Death sighed. “Do you want to know the reason you’re here with me?” Lelouch just nodded.
“For you to see, I don’t know where should I put you. If I put you in Hell, i’ m making injustice to the people who believed in you, who gave away their own lives for your goals. And you’ve made far too many sins to be in Heaven. And personally, I like people like yourself, always doing everything in their power to achieve their goal. Plus, an immortal witch just happened to pray for you before your execution.”
“C.C, praying for me? That’s a little hard to believe in.”
“Before we part and I decide what to do with you, tell me one thing. If you had a chance to redeem yourself and correct your mistakes, would you accept, knowing that if you do one wrong step, you will root in hell?” The cloaked figure asked with a hint of amusement in it’s voice – which didn’t go unnoticed by Lelouch who guessed that it’s enjoying this immensely,
Lelouch frowned at the question. “He knows I’d never refuse, why bother asking? Maybe he takes personal pleasure in tempting people like that? Much like C.C.” He snorted at the thought of his grey witch.
“I’m still waiting.” A voice then snapped him back to reality.
Emperor sighed and provided him with the answer he wanted to hear. “As a mater of fact, I’d gladly do it. That’s the least I can do in the memory of the people who I killed, intentionally or not.”
As expected, Death nodded approvingly, seemingly satisfied, even giving him an applause. “Very good! Hereby you shall hear my final judgement!” Death raised his hands dramatically, as if trying to mock Lelouch’s sense for theatrics, which Lelouch tried to ignore.
“Lelouch Vi Britannia, You shall be given another chance. I will send you back in time you have yet to receive the power of the King! I’m sure i don’t need to tell you what will happen if you go the wrong way again. With that, farewell!” The figure completely disappeared and Lelouch started to feel dizzy as he was sucked into the typhoon of time.
“What have I got myself into?”

That would be the first chapter! Review if you can. Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.
