Code Geass: Chance of Happiness

What? Why?

"The world is not perfect, but it's there for us trying the best it can. That's what makes it so damn beautiful," Roy Mustang.

Third Person POV

Suzaku and Cornelia were taken aboard the brig of a J.L.F vessel. Tension and fear loomed in the air as the Black Knights know that violence will escalate quickly due to Zero's actions at Narita.

"Hey Zero! What are we supposed to do with Cornelia? The Britannian pigs will start to crack down hard on the Japanese people," Tamaki exclaimed.

"Cornelia is merely a bargaining tool. My goal is to overthrow the Britannian Emperor and liberate all area's starting with Japan," Zero stated. "And to aid our military, Rakshata has begun research and development on various types of Radiant Wave Surger-like weapons."

"That's right. I have already created a new type of missile for the Guren to use. It is for a life and death situation only and can destroy dozens of enemy Knightmares at once," Rakshata chimed.

"With our rapidly advancing military and our new political tools, I'd say there is at least an 80 % chance of Japans freedom!" Zero said. "But nothing will change with the current Britannian Emperor in office. Our long term goal is not just to revive Japan, but also to remove Charles zi Britannia from office as soon as possible."

The meeting was adjourned and Zero went to the brig to visit Suzaku.

"Suzaku Kururugi. I propose a deal," Zero started. "Join me and the Black Knights. In return, I can guarantee the liberation and freedom of Japan!"

"Never. I will never join a terrorist," Suzaku spat.

Lelouch grimaced. Suzaku is one hard person to convince on such an important matter.

"Very well. You leave me no choice but to reveal who Zero is," Zero said, grabbing the cheeks of his mask.

Suzaku looked up at him through his cell. As Zero's mask slid off, Suzaku's eyes widened significantly.

"Le-Lelouch?!"

"Yes. I am Zero. I am the one person who hates Charles zi Britannia with a fiery passion. You should know that just as well," Lelouch said.

"Why did you lie to me, Lelouch? You said you weren't a terrorist in Shinjuku!" Suzaku shouted in confusion.

"You lied to me too. You said that you were just an engineer, not a Knightmare pilot," Lelouch retorted. "I need your help, Suzaku. Right now, you are the most dangerous soldier in the world. I do not want to end up having to fight my own best friend. In return, I can free Japan and guarantee the safety of Euphie and Nunnally."

"I can't. Your methods will never earn you any good. Any ends gained through contemptible means are worthless. They will only cause more blood shed," Suzaku stated.

"Necessary blood shed. Hundreds of thousands. Maybe even millions will parish. Billions of lives saved, Suzaku. I can create world peace. At least for Nunnally's sake," Lelouch said.

"You are only doing this for revenge against your father, Lelouch! Nunnally wouldn't want you to do this," Suzaku protested. "So, let me out. I am the only one who can keep Nunnally safe, and you better give Euphie back."

Talk about stubborn. Lelouch would never be able to get him over to his side at this rate. Use his Geass to force him over? No. Who can say how long the Geass would last. Lelouch silently unlocked the cell door and let Suzaku have the key to the Lancelot.

"Before you go," Lelouch started, his eye glowing red. "Live!"

Suzaku immediately sprinted out the rusty entrance. He dodged the Black Knights who tried to attack him with ease. He jumped into the seat of the Lancelot once he made it. The Lancelot dived into the water, and Suzaku Kururugi escaped. The White Death of Britannia lives.
