Reflection of you (Code Geass fanfic story)

Chapter 21

"How did you escape?!" Suzaku roared angrily. Lelouch just stared at him, not saying anything. The knight was about to start an angry tirade until he heard a small whimper coming from behind Lelouch. He looked over the raven's shoulder and his heart broke to see none other than Anthony looking at him, scared. But it didn't last for long. Soon, the mini Lelouch marched forward with furrowed, angry looking eyebrows.

Once he got close enough, he kicked Suzaku's ankle hard. Lelouch panicked and immediately carried Anthony away, scolding the boy. "But mama! He w-was scary and mean to you!" Anthony explained, confused. Lelouch only shook his head, frowning even more. "That is not how we treat people...except of it's someone like Schneizel. Suzaku is...someone we know. I will be honest, I'm trying to see if he...can help get your dad back." Lelouch soon looks at Suzaku with despair in his eyes, but still masking his face with a emotionless look.

That was when Suzaku saw it, Lelouch's tiredness. Not just the normal kind that many think about, but of this whole situation, and life itself. Yes, it looked like to him that Lelouch is done with life. Which scared Suzaku despite his slight despise for the eleventh prince of Britannia. So, in order to do damage control and help overall, he just had to give this answer.

"Fine...I will help you."

Lelouch didn't say thank you but his eyes did, which was enough for Suzaku. At least, for now.
——————————————
"I, Lelouch vi Britannia, command you to kill yourself. Right now."

The soldiers saluted and pressed the guns against their heads, pulling the trigger as Lelouch watched. Those were the last ones in the underground prison former emperor Charles set up for people he captured in war. It was nearly all black except for the small fires lined up, giving the cells a warm, orange glow. "Lelouch! Are you done with everyone?" Suzaku asked suddenly in the ear piece the raven had on.

"Yes, Suzaku. Have you seen the children's father yet?" Suzaku gave a short reply of 'no' before shutting off communications again. Lelouch sighed and continued walking, looking inside each cell room. He was about to give up until he reached the last cell. To his surprise, Lelouch found Antonio. But was horrified to see that his former lover was battered and bleeding almost all over.

He kept himself together when he took out a bobby pin and unlocked the cell, rushing inside. Once he fell on his knees and took ahold of Antonio was when Lelouch let a few tears slip out. "Oh man...y-you look..." Antonio stirred in his sleep and slowly opened his eyes. It took him a moment but soon as his vision cleared and that Lelouch's face in his view, he immediately got upset.

"What the hell, Lelouch?! You weren't suppose to come here!" He whispered out harshly, panic slowly building up within him. This isn't good. If Lelouch is found out by Schneizel and his men, then this whole plan on rescuing and protecting Lelouch had been for nothing. Which made Antonio really pissed off. "You are despicable, for real! Like, it's ridiculous that your that stubborn. I told you that..." Suddenly, a voice started to speak.

It says smoothly, "Well, the two of you won't be bickering for long, since you will have to deal with me. Welcome back...Lelouch."

..No...No...Schneizel...

(Start of short fight scene)

Antonio used Lelouch to help lift himself up, wincing in pain. Lelouch stood up quickly, "No..you shouldn't fight. You're in very bad shape." But his lookalike ignored him and glared at the second prince of Britannia. Trying to devise a plan to defeat him. Immediately, he leaped forward and managed to kick Schneizel straight in the chest, causing the blond to fly across and hit his back against the other bar door of a cell.

The blond coughed a bit just as Antonio landed on him, wrapping his hands around Schneizel's neck. "Got you now!" The raven lookalike announced, squeezing his hands tightly around the pale throat. Choking him to death. Antonio squeezed even harder as time went by. Slowly, the blond's face started to turn red and then blue. Schneizel's sight started to get a bit blurry. With 'splashes' of blackness here and there.

Despite being bigger and apparently stronger than Antonio, Schneizel couldn't find a way to stop the choking and get the other off him. 'I guess...my time ends here. I wish it was under the circumstances that wasn't so pathetic..' the blond thought in his head, already giving up. He was about to let death take him until something 'wonderful' happened that would change everything.

(End of short fight scene...yes, it was that boring, lmao)

"Arrrgh!" Antonio suddenly screamed out, unconsciously removing one of his hands to hold his eye. But not just any eye, it's the eye where his geass is secretly located. Schneizel immediately saw the opportunity and removed the other hand from his neck. Picking up Antonio and positioning him in a way that looks like he is laying on his back. Lelouch quickly realized of what could happened and panicked.

He stood up and started to beg, tears spilling down his face, "Schneizel...don't...please..." Two purple eyes, one dark and one light, gazed at each other for a second until the lighter one looked away. "Too late, dear brother." Schneizel lifted a knee slightly and slammed Antonio's back onto his knee hard. Hearing a slight crack and soon, a piercing scream from his victim. Lelouch was furious. How dare he!

Schneizel was distracted by the screams and sobs of pain coming from Antonio. Lelouch was trying to find a way to stop his brother until he noticed Suzaku hiding in a vent, looking down. Lelouch looked back at the blond to make sure he's not paying attention to him, wincing when he saw Antonio repeatedly getting punched and kicked all over. He turns back to Suzaku and signals him to give him a weapon.

The Japanese opened his mouth in realization and nodded his head curtly, turning around and holding out a gun, waiting until Lelouch was directly under the hand before dropping it. The raven prince caught it easily before walking towards Schneizel.

"Schneizel!"

The second prince looked back at him.

Lelouch took out one of his eye contacts, revealing a glowing eye. He then threw the gun at Schneizel at the same time when he said this..

"Die!"
