Code Geass: Chance of Happiness

Zero Is Law

"RESPECT. It's something that I feel has been lost lately. I'm talking about respect on a basic level. Even if you just boil it down to common human decency; it's being lost. The Golden Rule still applies; you still need to treat people the way that you want to be treated. And you're seeing it less and less these days. Because people have an automatic tendency to assume that if someone is disagreeing with someone, they are their enemy, and they are inherently bad, and they should be fought. You can disagree with someone and still respect them. It's so easy to label someone; it's so easy to do; it is so easy to boil someone down to a single word or a phrase; and that's all they are. Normally, it's when you're demonizing them, but even if you're praising them, even if you are putting someone on a pedestal, or if you are calling them 'human scum', and 'trash' and 'garbage,' you're inherently dehumanizing them in both aspects," - Markiplier from his YouTube video 'RESPECT'.

"I'd like to return the favor, Leila," Lelouch said. He stood next to the Lieutenant Colonel outside of a square, helipad-like area where E.U mechanics were working on giving the Gawain a paint job. "Allow me to drive Britannia out of Saint Petersburg."

Lelouch brought C.C back with him to the Castle Weisswolf sick bay, the safest place for her as well as the closest to Lelouch; it takes several at least six weeks to recover from giving birth. Leia, their new-born daughter, was taken with Sayoko and Jeremiah to Australia.

"Are you sure? I can give you command of the Wyvern W-0 unit, but you look very tired these days, Lelouch."

"I'm sure."

At this point in the Euro-Britannian war, Britannia has taken over major portions of the E.U; western Africa, all of eastern Russia which includes Moscow, England, Poland, Italy, Spain, and Greece. The E.U is surrounded by Britannia. The only territory the E.U has left is France, Germany, western Russia, Finland, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, and basically most of central Europe. The fighting was everywhere, but the E.U managed to hold its ground through its control over major defensive areas.

1200 Hours

Everyone on the W-0 unit was ready; Lelouch, Akito, Yukiya, Ayano, Ryo, and Ashley. There mission would start with them being launched via a rocket into space and back down into Saint Petersburg. The rocket was large and had several compartments in which escape pods would be stored. Their Knightmares are kept in the escape pods until they hit solid ground. All of the W-0 unit members use Alexanders except for Lelouch.

"You are all now under my command!" Lelouch shouted through his Gawain's radio. "The objective of this mission is to search for and destroy any and all Britannian forces in Saint Petersburg to reclaim control over the city! Even if they surrender, take no prisoners! Show them that they should never fuck with the E.U! Down with Britannia!"

He received an, "Understood!" from everyone. The only one on the team who knew why Lelouch sounded so angry and fired up is Akito. Lelouch is also probably hoping to see Suzaku Kururugi in battle so that he can have his revenge; possible but unlikely.

Also, Lelouch is wearing his Zero costume, feeling confident that no one will be able to capture him this time; he has a squad of ace Knightmare pilots at his command. Besides, if something were to happen to the Gawain again, albeit unlikely, he would need to hide his face; the Britannians know all the information about the Gawain and that Zero stole it and uses it. After all, they created it.

The countdown began. "10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. Ignition. 1. Liftoff!"

The ground shook and Lelouch, his whole body along with his Knightmare and escape pod, were sitting horizontally. His stomach lurched downwards and his head moved slightly from side to side. After a couple of hours, the rocket reached its maximum point of altitude.
