Code Geass Heroes' Awakening

There is a belief that a single change to history, albeit a small one, can change the outcome of life. For better, and for worse.

The United Kingdom, home to countries such as England, Scotland and Ireland, has transitioned into an imperialistic empire, known as Britannia. At first, it's colonies at America were going to expand the empire, but the Revolutionary War broke out, with the United States of America as the victor.

Nearly 200 years later, America thrives, especially after aiding other countries, such as Japan, Europe and the remnants of the true United Kingdom, during both World Wars. America was more on the benevolent side, rather than the boorish. Peace was the name of the game. In the timeframe of nearly 200 years, a coordinated assassination occurred. Both President John F. Kennedy and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson were killed, in separate locations. Chaos broke out, and only one person was brave enough to take the helm: Max Daughtry.

Over the course of Daughtry's presidency, Britannia began to invade American airspace. Before Daughtry could warn the American populace of what was going on, his Vice President, Samuel Hawking, killed Daughtry, and told the Britannians to do as they pleased, as long as someone died. His wish was granted, as the Britannians tested their mass-produced, mechanized mobile weapon known as the Knightmare Frame on 50,000 defenseless people, taking their lives, without any sort of challenge.

Two years later, Britannia left America, leaving it in Hawking's capable hands. The result was absolute anarchy. Sadism, psychosis, madness, blood, violence, malevolence. These are but a few of the many words to describe the hell that was unleashed. Eight years later, Hawking is killed, and America is freed, their new President being one Seth Kimball.

Hawking may have been the greater threat, but Britannia will prove to be a more strategic challenge...
