NOVEL NEXT Chapter 30: Unexpected situation
The Saiyan Emperor slowly descended under everyone's gaze. He immediately heard a Scream:
"MAREK!!"
'Sekiryuutei, huh. Here is a friend I lost forever.'
"Matsuda!
"Yes, your majesity!"
Matsuda immediately intercepted the Raging Red Dragon!
"Matsuda! What happened to you all!!! Don't YOU SEE?! This MAN IS A MONSTER!
-I will not allow you to disrespect MY EMPEROR, ISE!
-GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!
-Shamelessly attacking the Legendary Super Sayan! HOW BRAZEN DID THE SATANS GET!!!
"AAAAAAAAAAAH"
A raged female voice was heard as tremendous devil power was being accumulated!
Azazel screamed:
"GRAYFIA !! STOP!!!"
The Saiyan Emperor didn't even spare her a look:
"Motohoma, get that out of my sight.
-On it! Your Majesty!"
His feet slowly touched the ground, as his vicious eyes looked at the Last figure of Authority the Underworld, had. He slowly advanced as he said:
"Serafall."
She looked at the Saiyan with deep resentment and unwillingness.
"ONEE-SAMA!!!"
Serafall looked at her distressed sister and calmed down.
"I have heard the voices of The red bat and green one. What is yours? Do you also want to play 'the crime and judgement' game?"
All the devils and the people of the three factions were getting ready for the battle of their life. But being a soldier only responsible for his own life was one thing, but being a ruler is another. Serafall deeply knew that, and her decision became much Heavier now that she was the only one to do it. She looked deeply at the ruthless eyes of the approching Hegemon:
"We will not investigate Roygun Belphegor."
The leaders of the faction all had bitter faces, Michael and Azazel in particular. They knew this was the only way to escape an impeding calamity.
Marek had a large smile on his face:
"Good, good choice indeed, my Leviathan!"
He turned around as he said:
"I expect the construction to be started immediately. Let the Agares Faction take care of it."
All the devils had enraged faces as they needed to service the one who killed their Maou. While Seekveira Agares had a pounding heart.
'In what mess did her family get in?!'
"Oh! Another thing...Anything that gets in the way of the construction, for example, a rebellion of the Great King Faction. Will be thoroughly obliterated?"
Sairaorg immediately understood the meaning.
'If someone is now too proud of his power, I don't mind evening the sides!'
A Blue Portal opened up as the Emperor smiled:
"Matsuda, Motohama come with me. It's time for you to see your Empire!"
-Yes, your majesty!!!"
Britania, somewhere in Area 11.
Three People have gathered, two men, and one woman. The woman gave a rare chivalric aura around her, like she was summoning the battlefield with her simple presence. Her beautiful Fuchsia hair, her warrior aura like she was made of war itself. She was a princess, yet she was a war goddess. She was one of the women Tarek deeply liked in his past life: Cornelia Li Britanina. Her eyes couldn't even hold all the hatred she was exuding at the presence of the man in front of her, her half-borther, who she despised like the devil himself. She then looked at the man who brought her here:
"I can't believe, you of all people would collude with him, Kururgi."
Suzaku deeply sighed, a solemn expression on:
"You remember the subject of my request, your highness."
Lelouch finally spoke:
"It's about-
-I know what it's about! Don't you dare defile her name with your mouth!"
Suzaku again spoke:
"Princess Cornelia. Please hear what we have to say, this may be the most happy news you will ever hear."
Cornelia looked up at his honest and serious eyes and nodded slightly:
"As we speak, Euphy may be back to life."
He dropped the Bomb. Cornelia only looked at him scornfully before switching to Lelouch:
"You did 'that' to Him? Is it your Geass again?! Is this how you brainwash people?"
Lelouch looked at her deeply in the eyes:
"Would you think I will sully her memory like that?
-You have done far more atrocities!"
This time he lightly sighed as he leaned backward:
"I am tired, Big Sister. Tired of fighting with you."
Her attention was immediately drawn by hearing him calling her 'Big Sister' after all this time.
"Tired of hating the Imperial Family, tired of sacrificing what's important to me, tired of playing devil. Tired of carrying all the burdens on my self. Tired of fighting the people I love."
Suzaku had emotional eyes too. Cornelia who never saw the unwavering Zero making such a helpless face was shaken.
"For the last days I have found myself daydreaming. I have been thinking back to our childhood days with you, Euphy, Nunnaly and me, living in bliss and happiness. Perhaps this is what I was fighting for all along…
…. A place where I could recreate this image. Somewhere to call home."
Cornelia looked at Lelouch who seemed faint, nearly ethereal, like he could disappear at any moment as he extended his arm like reaching for the non existant. She resisted the pain in her heart before responding:
"Sadly, this can never happen. You have harmed this world too much for you to ever live in peace."
Lelouch only smiled like a little child:
"Yet, someone saw right through me and created 'that home' for me. 'Welcome at your new home' he said."
Suzaku had little tears as he still remembered the scene. Cornelia finally felt that something amiss. She saw that the calm rage that Suzaku had as he vowed to kill the emperor disappear. The deranged malevolent aura of her brother that threatened to consume the world itself was also transformed. Which made Cornelia's frustration even bigger.
'How could he? How could they act like that? How could he talk about a new home?!'
"This home of yours is meaningless! Nunaly is dead, and Euphy another victim of your Geass!"
Yet, like he didn't even hear her, he only affectionally smiled at her. Like a little brother looking after his sister.
What the both of them should have been from the start:
"I will rid the world of Schneizel before going there. This will be my last act, my Requiem."
He then looked at Suzaku before ending:
"Then we will go see them together, both Nunally and Euphy."
Cornelia was enraged as if she was looking at two lunatics:
"Is that it?! Did you finally go crazy!?"
Suzaku responded:
"Your Highness, we know that Nunnaly is alive."
She had a surprised expression. Lelouch had a smirk on:
"And we know, that Schneizel had just lost her."
Cornelia remembered the weird reports she received. Saying that witnesses saw 'That Princess Nunnaly literally flew through the roof.' She dismissed as gibberish. She still could remember the bitterness on Schneizel's face, tho…
'He was sure that a Geass user did it.'
"The person who did that is the same person Lelouch is talking about. He made a deal with Lelouch. He will serve him as his First Vizir and…"
He deeply looked at Cornerlia:
"…He said he will bring back everyone he ever lost."
Cornelia's eyes widened even more:
"To believe such absurdities! No one in this world can have the power to do that…"
But she stopped as she saw the awe and fright in Suzaku's eyes:
"…I…saw him in the World C with my…own eyes. After we killed Charles and Marianne. He brought them back and then took their lives like their were Trash in his eyes."
She stepped backwards, her, who up till now can't get over her Euphemia's death.
"…Impossible."
"We want you to lure Schneizel out, for Lelouch to put him under his Geass.
-This is lies! You are trying to use me against Schneizel!"
Suddenly faraway explosions were heard in the sky!
They all had sharp gazes.
"What is going on?"
"Let's get on the Shinkiro first!"
The three of them did. Even thought Cornelia was suspicious, she still got in the Shinkiro with them. Where they found, C.C, already there.
With it they flew in the air only to find out a mind-blowing scene going on!!
Lelouch was the first to speak:
"Those…They are the black Knights's Knightmare frames !"
But what baffled them is that all those engines were getting destroyed by two flying humanoid silhouette, wherever they passed the engines would explode like fireworks!
Cornelia had her breath taken away as she watched these people destroy everyone of the Knightmares with their bare hands, like they were tofu.
The quick-witted C.C had already an idea about their identity and smiled meaningfully as they could intercept their conversations:
"Matsuda, look! They have MECHA in this world! So cool!!
-This is a man's romance indeed!
-Do you think they would let us ride one of them!! This red one looks especially cool!! I fight him, okay? If you do, you will end up destroying it!
Kallen Kozuki who thought she saw everything in this world following Zero, had the most terrifying day of her life!
Her new Gurren S.E.I.T.E.N she was so proud of was getting played with like a toy! She caught a glimpse of Cornelia leaving with a very weird looking Suzaku. So she took some men with her, wanting to follow after them. The rest is as you see…
As Motohama kept advancing through her Radiation Discs like it was pecks on his cheek, he slowly flew to her:
"Come on! That's all you have!? You are ruining a man's romance, you know?!"
Matsuda continued as he ripped yet another Knightmare's arm:
"And why would you even attack us, if you are this weak to begin with? We only asked you a question!"
Motohama immediately snapped at him as he continued to tank the Guren's attacks:
"I told you not to do that! HE is a known felon in this world! Asking about him is like ASKING to be attacked!!
Matsuda responded as his punch obliterated another attacker:
-And I told you we don't have time for that. If we want to have time to look at Britania's Girls we need to Finish this mission !!
Motohama had a lecherous face:
-HEHEHE I BET they are the Pampered princess type!!
Matsuda looked at the Gurren:
"Hey, You! Do you know where the Britanian girls are?! No! I mean…What was his name again?"
In the Shinkiro, C.C was literally holding her gut as she found it hard to breath from laughter. Lelouch had a difficult face while he massaged his forehead. Suzaku sighed, worrying about the future. Cornelia looked at their reaction with questions all over her face.
"Let's end this farce…"
Lelouch took his speaker:
"I am Lelouch Vi Britania. Please do not harm the Guren's Pilot. Capture her and get on land immediately."
Matsuda and Motohama perked up as they heard the announcement:
"Finally! It's him!
-Well, his majesty said he was around here, so… "
Kallen had bewildered face, as she caught on sight the Shinkiro.
'Lelouch…What are you up too, again? How many more secrets do you have?'
Suddenly Motohama appeared behind her cockpit, his hand penetrated the Guren. She felt a powerful force get a hold of her. The next moment she was supended at the hands of the powerful being, Motohama had to comment:
"A girl, and in such a sexy suit!"
Kallen felt offended by his words, but there was nothing she could do:
"Get your hands of me!!
-Are you sure? From this distance, it's a pretty hard fall."
She finally looked down, only to realize her situation! But she was still pretty riled up. Matsuda who saw everything remarked:
"Are all the woman in this world, this wild?"
The both of them flew down to the Ground as they advanced in front of the Shikiro. The Shikiro opened up, Four People descended.
"Oh my god! Another batch of Heaven shaken beauties!
-Following his majesty is totally worth it!!"
Cornelia felt there was something deeply wrong with this people as they slowly appeared in their sight. They were wearing the traditional attire of the ATLAS Empire, their muscular frame could still be seen. Matsuda had abandoned his Cap, his unruly hair blowing by the wind, his handsome yet rebellious traits gave him a tyrannical aura, his tail moving wildly behind him,. Motohama carrying Kallen like baggage on his shoulder had a more devilish vibe, behind his glasses. Their Imposing Manner was less than the Emperor, but it will never be negligible.
They are High Class Saiyan after all!!!
One could see the vicious the malicious thirst for battle engraved in their genes!
If one didn't hear what came out from their mouth, they could even be revered as veteran's warriors!
Lelouch a little riled up by their appearance still advanced. When the both them saw him, they suddenly bowed lightly and said with reverence:
""We greet his Highness, the First Vizir!""
Cornelia was still in shock. C.C smiled lightly, Suzaku had a solemn expression on his face. Kallen looked at Lelouch with questions all over her face.
"We've been sent by his Majesty to 'clear the way for you'. A problem has occurred in the Imperial Capital and his majesty requests your presence with Schneizel at the briefest delays."
Lelouch narrowed his eyes:
"What problems?"
The both of them looked at Cornelia meaningfully. They were briefed about C.C and Suzaku but not her. Lelouch sighed:
"It's Okay, she is Cornelia Vi Britania, my elder sister."
The both of them had surprised faces, Motohama exclaimed :
"So she is THE Cornelia Vi Britania!"
Cornelia had a hard understanding the meaning of their expressions, Matsuda continued:
"No wonder she looks that wild. She is that fierce Second Vizir's Sister after all."
Lelouch, Suzaku and Cornelia had wide eyes, as Lelouch asked:
"What do you mean by the Second Vizir's Sister? "
Matsuda responded like he was looking at a dumb person:
"She is Cornelia Vi Britania, right? Second Vizir's Euphemia Li Britania sister?"
Cornelia felt her heart pound hard, Suzaku was in state of shock. Kallen kept her ears perked as she fished for more information. Lelouch barely kept his composure:
"How the Hell…
Matsuda and Motohama had bitter faces:
"Well, our presence here in mainly because of her.
-What?!!"
Motohama deeply sighed, having cold sweat just remembering what happened earlier:
"You see, the Emperor was discussing a deal with the Satans from the devils of the Underworld."
Cornelia and Kallen felt that their head was about to explode:
"Wait…You mean like the Satans from the Bible?!
-You have the Bible here too? Oh Yes, it's exactly that."
Cornelia deeply sighed as she let all that sink in before telling them to continue:
"The Four Satans disrespected his Majesty and two of them attacked him. So he killed them creating a crisis in the Underworld.
-He killed the Satans from the Bible?
-Yes. The scary part comes actually after that.
The both of them felt shivers down their spine. Seeing their terrified expressions Lelouch and Suzaku gulped up and down:
"When he reported the situation. Second Vizir Euphemia got in a big fight with His majesty about the way he should have handled the situation. She said 'ruling like a tyrant will only isolate the country from allies and proceeded to show him the different ways he should have handled the situation'. The both of them kept arguing back and forth until the Emperor finally gave in!
Matsuda sighed:
"She then immediately requested to go on a diplomatic mission with the remaining Satans! "
"The Emperor immediately sent us to accelerate your mission. His words: 'Only Lelouch or Suzaku could make her hear reason, bring one of them to accompany her to the Underworld."
As he kept narrating both Lelouch and Suzaku started laughing as tears of happiness started coming out:
"Euphemia never changes, does she?
-Getting in a fight with a man who could kill the devil itself just for her stubborn ideals."
Suzaku had snot and tears all over his face. Cornelia lost the strength in her legs:
"Euphy…"
Matsuda and Motohama had weird faces:
'Why are they getting so worked up for?'
Lelouch, a trace of tears in his face, gave his hand to Cornelia:
"Your sister is back, as stubborn and unruly as ever. Will you accompany us? To our New Home?"
