A/N: Okay, this is just a revised that I'm doing now at the moment because I've re-read my story and it almost seems like I was completely out of it and didn't know what I was doing half of the time. There will be some chapters that will have its original and others that are going to be rewritten. Those who like it before I started rewriting which was great and terrific but I just feel like it need an update. So, I'll try to complete this story as much as I can. Hopefully, you'll like this new 'The World I Knew' than the last one.

Enjoy!

The sun was setting on another day of Japan, but it wasn't an ordinary day. Just this morning, Japan had faced devastation, more devastating than the SAZ massacre and the invasion of Japan. More than 25 million or more citizens of Japan were obliterated by the new warhead design by Britannia called the FLEJA, hitting the Tokyo Settlement and leaving a gaping hole in the middle of the settlement.

An eighteen year old boy was sitting at a burial site, having buried his younger brother who died for saving his life. Lelouch Lamperouge or rather Lelouch vi Britannia or as the world knows him as Zero, well…the former Zero as he was exposed to the Black Knights about his true identity and his Geass by his older siblings, Schenizel and Cornelia. Having been devastated for the lost of his real sibling, his younger sister, Nunnally vi Britannia, he couldn't attend the meeting and even if he did, it wouldn't make a different.

"Rolo, Nunnally, Shirley, The Black Knights…I've lost everything. I've nothing to live for anymore," Lelouch thought to himself.

Looking down at the newly buried grave, he talks to his younger 'brother' as if he was still in front of him. Yes, he was using the insecure boy and was planning on getting rid of him as soon as his use of him was done. It got even more serious when Rolo killed Shirley and then when Nunnally was killed in the FLEJA, he went off on him, telling that he hated him and was trying to kill him but keep missing the chance and then telling him to get out of his sight. But even then, Rolo prove himself by being the brother of not Lelouch vi Britannia but of Lelouch Lamperouge.

"Forgive me, Rolo. If I would have been more careful, maybe none of this would ever happen, but now, I don't know what to do anymore."

Lelouch looked at the vast ocean one more time before turning to walk away. Maybe he should return back to Ashford and continue his education, since the Black Knights have no use for him anymore.

But could he really function? Shirley was gone and so was Nunnally. He felt so empty and alone and yet...

"Have you found the Shinkro yet?" asked Dietard Reid.

"Not yet, sir." Said an income.

"We have to find it, now that we have the Britannians aiding us."

The Black Knights scrambled as they were trying to find their former leader Zero. After learning of his true identity as a Britannian prince and his geass and the use of it, they want him dead for they felt like he used them as pawns.

They have reported that Zero had died from his battle wounds instead of telling the truth about him to the world.

There was only one who still have doubts about this and that was Kallen Kozuki, the ace of the Black Knights. After escaping from her cell, she went to find Lelouch only to see him depress about not only Nunnally but to learn that C.C. have lost her memories. Knowing how it feels to lose a beloved sibling, Kallen was trying to comfort him only to be disturbed by the black knights, guns pointing at them.

She used her body as a shield to protect him and telling them what they heard about Zero was only one-sided. Then, she asked him a question she been meaning to ask him for awhile…what did she mean to him? If he told her that he love her, she would be willing to die right here along with him, but that wasn't the answer she was hoping for instead she got him laughing and mocking her and the Black Knights calling them pawns of his game, his entertainment and that Kallen was a well-played piece. Hurt and betrayed, she wanted nothing more to do with him but before the Black knight were ready to shoot him dead, he whispered "Kallen, you must live on." That shocks her into question.

She tried to convince Ohgi and the others of all the things that Zero have done for them, but they wouldn't have none of it, feeling upset and betrayed for him calling pawns and saying that they don't need Zero anymore, now that Britannia was helping them.

"But can we really trust Britannia?" Kallen whispered to herself as she walks down the hall of the Ikerga. Before she was about to turn the corner, she saw something light green.

'C.C.?"

Kallen walked faster as she grabs hold of C.C. as she was starting to escape.

"I'm sorry. Please don't hurt me." Said C.C. Truly this C.C. was not the same C.C. that she use to know.

"C.C. it's all right," said Kallen. "I'm here to look after you."

C.C. stops shaking and look at Kallen with curious eyes.

"Don't worry. It will be all right." Kallen took C.C. to her room. As soon as she gets C.C. settled down, she was going after Lelouch.
