The Hunger Games of Britannia

Chapter 1

Author's note: Hi readers, I have decide to try out combining Hunger Games concept with Code Geass after dreaming about it in my dream.

Disclaimer: I do not own Code Geass nor Hunger Games. Maybe in my dreams I am the owner.

In the year 2007 atb, almost a decade ago Japan was once a peaceful country with developments booming across the country. The economy got better year by year with the discovery of large supply of sakuradite by the then Prime Minister, Kururugi Genbu. Japan was prospering in every aspects until it became a role model to other countries. However, nothing is perfect. Japan had a very weak point which became the very fault that had caused the country to pay a price. Prime Minister Kururugi was too obsessed in developing Japan's infrastructures that he had forego his country's military technologies.

He had not realised that Japan had stole the attention of one of the world superpower, the Holy Britannia Empire under the rule of the Emperor Charles- the man who was said to be the next person to conquer the whole world, the successor of Alexander the Great. When Genbu Kururugi realised his mistake, it was too late. Britannia had already reached Japan's airspace and waters, scaling passed the weak Japan defence, destroying the Japanese troops with Britannia's new weapon- Knightmares.

Under the leadership of Second Prince, Prince Schneizel, Japan became Britannia's new territory in just a month. The whole board of leaders of Japan were ousted, some seek asylum in other countries while the others were executed. The war between the two countries had caused great damage to Japan and also traumatise their people. Deaths tolls increased day by day with many of the war victims losing their families and hopes. Explosions echoing in the atmosphere with heart wrenching cries and screams serenaded the people's ears daily. When the war was over, the land of Japan was on fire. Everywhere, almost every single corner was burning in flames. The glory and beauty of Japan had been replaced with red dusty skies and barren land.

The proud infrastructures once stood tall had been toppled down, kneeling on the ground in defeat. Houses were torn down due to bombs and the people were left penniless. Food was scarce and many died of starvation. A year later, the Japanese surrendered and vowed to be in Britannia Numbers System, swearing to serve Britannia.

Since that day, Japan was never the same again. Being the Eleventh Area of Britannia, only Tokyo Settlement had a chance to be rebuilt. The other cities were only allowed to downgrade their status as village and nothing else. With that, Japan had sunk into dirt poor country, its treasure, the sakuraditie being exploited out by Britannia. Tokyo Settlement was the only place sparkling with money and emitted the glory days where Japan was a rich country. Apart from that, everything in Japan was dull and rusty.

And the downfall of Japan was the beginning of the torturous years to the residents of Area 11. Area 11 became one of the 20 Areas to be part of the 74 years old Britannian tradition. It was entertaining to the eyes of many Britannians but tormenting to the Numbers. The presence of the tradition was a symbol of humiliation, the sign of the weakness of their bloodline and their fate to bow to their new master, Britannia.

Yes, it was Britannia reminder to the Areas of the great power held by the Emperor and the empire. No one shall ever go against Britannia or they shall suffer. This very game of death was given a name- a very simple yet threatening name. It is known as- The Hunger Games.

North Tokyo Settlement

Area 11

2017 atb

Lelouch Lamperouge, a 17 years old raven haired lad sat outside of his home, staring at the early morning sun. The sounds of birds carolling in the air chirped as the trees swayed in a gentle breeze. The lad looked around him. The residents of the residential area of North Tokyo Settlement had woken up from their sleeps and were busy preparing for their daily work which was working in the sakuradite mines.

After the war, the area in Tokyo Settlement was split into several parts which were North, East, West, South and Central. Britannia had divided the areas according to the majority residents occupation and income. The residents of the Northern side were formed the majority of Area 11 and mostly were sakuradite miners whose income were slightly below the average. On the other hand, the Eastern residents were merchants and businessmen. Most commercial centres and banks were built in the Eastern side, making it to be nicknamed as the Second Wall Street. Obviously, the residents there were dirty rich. However, the Easterners were still not accepted by the Mainlanders although they were wealthy.

The Southerners were the poorest among all. They were basically either criminals or labourers or worse, jobless. The South Settlement was notorious place, making it suitable for illegal activities to be held there. Coincidentally, it was also Lelouch's favourite place to earn some extra bucks by gambling. The Underground Subway Station there became a black market for illegal trading and also a place for the poor to shop.

The Westerners were mostly the residences of government servants. The administration buildings of Area 11 were built in the western side with the iconic Viceroy's Palace can be found there. The Westerners were usually a bunch of loyal dogs to Britannia and among them were also Elevens who sold their soul to the Empire. Basically, no one liked entering the Western side unless a rebellion is declared. Otherwise who wants to be thrown in prison by the Peacekeepers?

The Central Settlement were the most spoilt brats among all. The residents there were mainly Britannian nobles who lived a luxurious, comfortable life in gigantic mansions and dozens of servants waiting to serve them. They were totally oblivious of their surroundings and only knew how to spend their money like water.

The Mainland Britannians known as the Mainlanders had prejudices against the Area Britannians, thinking that they were totally a different species and were of lower class than them. Area Britannians were denied certain rights provided to Mainlanders and were forced to be a part of the annual Hunger Games too. Certain groups had rebelled against the rules given by Pendragon, Britannia's capital but most of the rebels ended up being executed publicly by Peacekeepers, Britannia's watchdogs.

"Anyway it was much better than being a Number" Lelouch whispered to himself. Yes, being a Number, a person was often discriminated in almost everything. They have very little rights and treated more like an animal than a human. The Mainland Britannians had never classified them as humans, a mere item for entertainment. Many of them bought the Numbers as slaves because of the cheap labour charges. The Mainlanders never really cared much about the Numbers.

The Honorary Britannians were another group of scumbags who were once Numbers but swore to be a government servants. They were given more privileges and money, sometimes surpassing the Area Britannians rights. Most of the Honorary Britannians were often traitorous, blinded with money and will do whatever Britannia asked for. They were normally recruited in the Peacekeeper force, beating up their own people.

Lelouch sighed as he thought of it. If only he still have the power as a prince, if only he had not give up his right to the throne, if only he had not faked his death, he would still be able to save Japan. Perhaps a little. He knew it was unavoidable for the vi Britannia to carry the burden cursed on the lineage. His mother was doomed to be assassinated and his sister was destined to be crippled. If Empress Marianne vi Britannia and Princess Nunnally vi Britannia had not venture around the castle alone, both would have not share the same fate. Everything will be fine and they will still be able to live happily.

However, dreams were just dreams. The past can never be changed. It was perhaps Lelouch's fate to live a life as a dirt poor commoner, taking up a fake identity and filled the rest of his life with lies. After he and his sister had faked their deaths when they were exiled to Japan, the Ashfords's, his mother's loyal supporters had housed the two children as a part of them. Lelouch and Nunnally adopted the Lamperouge surname, a normal commoner surname handpicked by the former Mayor and current owner of a sakuradite mine and a school, the old jolly Reuben Ashford.

With Reuben Ashford little influence, the two former royalties were able to blend well with the others. Their presence were unsuspected and soon the world had totally forgotten about the assassination and deaths of the vi Britannias.

"Lelouch-sama, breakfast is ready." Sayoko, the an Eleven servant assigned by the Ashford to take care of the Lamperouges well being said. Lelouch turned around, smiled and nodded. He stood up and entered into the gloomy tiny house which he had been staying for the past decade.

Sitting in the dining room was his crippled and blind sister, Nunnally. She smiled upon sensing his presence. Lelouch pulled a chair and sat beside the poor girl, gripping her delicate hand and greeted her.

"Morning Nunnally. It's a very beautiful day" he said.

"Morning brother. It must be nice to be able to see the day's beauty!" She exclaimed as Sayoko placed a bowl of stew with tiny chunks of meat on the table.

Lelouch's face fell upon hearing his sister's comment. He suddenly felt sad about his poor sister's fate. At such a young age, God had forbid her to see and walk.

"Don't worry Nunnally. I will find a way to cure your eyes. I promise" he whispered, trying hard not to be emotional. He had to keep his cool. He was her big brother after all and he had to be a role model.

"Ah, don't worry big brother. I didn't really mean that!"

"It's a promise Nunnally. I will make sure you will be able to see all the wonders of the world, the glimmering blanket of stars, the reddish sunset, the green hills, the crystal clear water, everything!"

"Big brother..."

Lelouch sighed. He finished the last scoop of the stew and wiped his mouth. "Anyway, get ready for today's reaping. They will be calling the names chosen for the Games" he said and ruffled his sister's brunette hair.

"The Games...right...brother, I am scared. What if they called my name?" Nunnally muttered, her voice went to a pitch lower and she was trembling in fear. Sayoko gave her a light squeeze in the shoulders.

"Nah, it won't happen silly! This is your first time in the reaping and first timers will never be chosen! It's old people like me who will often be called by the bubbly pinkish Effie Cricket!" Lelouch exclaimed. Effie Cricket was Area 11's coordinator for the Hunger Games. She was often be seen in pinkish fluffy clothes and thick makeups which made her like an E.T rather than a human to residents here. Perhaps it was Mainlanders fashion to style themselves in such manners.

"Really?" Nunnally asked. Soup trickled down her mouth. Lelouch immediately grabbed a handkerchief and wiped the stains away.

"Yes, trust me. Everything will be fine." Lelouch reassured his sister with a confident voice.

Nunnally heaved a sigh of relief. "If big brother says so, then I am glad. I really hope none of us will be called up the stage. I wouldn't want to see one of us dead, live on the TV! We lost mum, I can't afford to lose you two, big brother!" She cried.

"Nunnally..." Lelouch murmured her name. Suddenly, the clock on the wall chimed. Lelouch looked at the hands of the clock and quickly stood up from his seat. He grabbed his old leather jacket from the couch, put it on, kissed Nunnally on her cheeks, bid the two goodbye and headed to the door.

Lelouch checked his watch. It was still a bit too early for him to go for his usual hunting. He quietly tip-toed towards the edge of the North Settlement, avoiding from being detected by the mine workers. The edge of the place were surrounded by tall, electric charge wire fence which segregate the Settlement from the ghettos, the abandoned cities outside Tokyo Settlement.

Thick bushes and trees had grown in the ghettos, making them to be a real concrete jungle. Over the years, it became a habitat for wild animals who magically appeared around the area. God knows how they infested the concrete jungle. Anyway, it was a blessing to the residence of Northerners and Southerners who took a side income of hunting for animals in the forest. The pay was pretty good especially if one manages to catch a wild turkey. The Governor of Area 11 and his Peacekeepers had no idea of their activities and thought the citizens will not dare to climb the electric charged fence.

However, they were wrong. The citizens had knew the perfect timing where the Peacekeeper will deactivated the charges. It was easy to test the theory. Basically the guard will be lower down in mid morning and late evening. To test the charges in the fence, Lelouch grabbed a stone on the ground and waited for a few seconds.

Spotting a tiny spark at the left corner of the fence, he threw the stone against it. The stone bounced back.

Lelouch smiled. It was safe to climb. He leapt on the fence and climbed up as fast as he could, fearing he might be seen. Once landing on the ground, the lad quickly dashed into the thick bushes until he was a few metres safe from the fence.

He looked around and saw a big tree marked with a red ink. He headed towards it and pulled out a FAL rifle and a pouch of bullets hidden under the jutting roots of the tree. The rifle and bullets were bought from the Black Market with the money he earned from hunting and gambling.

As he was loading a bullet, his ear caught a faint cracking sound. He quickly turned behind and aimed his weapon at the source of sound. A female gasp could be heard.

"Lulu!" Shirley Fenette, an orange haired girl with trusting jade coloured eyes shrieked. She stood about ten metres away from Lelouch with a bow in her hand and a quiver of arrows.

Lelouch lowered down his rifle with a sigh. He placed it right below his waist as he glared at Shirley. "You know one day I might just shoot you down if you keep appearing out from nowhere." He grumbled.

Shirley pranced towards him, chuckling. "Sorry Lulu! I didn't meant to scare you! I just thought it was someone else, so I decided to watch from a distance. You know there's a possibility it might be a peacekeeper right?"

The lad snorted and held his rifle up in the air, the end of the weapon place on his right shoulder. "Alright, alright. I get that. Come let's hunt for something before the time runs out" he sighed again and trudged past the bushes. Shirley grinned and followed from behind.

Taking slow, deep breathe, Lelouch aimed at a deer which was grazing grass. Shirley stood behind him, watching anxiously as the handsome lad hunting. Lelouch took another deep breathe and then he quickly pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The bullet pierced right at the deer's left leg, causing it to stagger. Lelouch fired another bullet this time at the hind leg, crippling the deer instantly. Shirley quickly loaded her bow and fired an arrow at the deer. Unfortunately it missed. The deer miraculously managed to hop away as it went deeper into the woods.

Lelouch shot a glare at Shirley and immediately leapt out from his hiding place. He was quite furious when Shirley failed to take the deer down. She had caused them to lose a chance of obtaining their source of food and income.

Not giving up hope, Lelouch chased after the deer. He ignored Shirley's cries from behind telling him to stop as they had never venture the deeper part of the woods.

Just as Lelouch was about to grab hold on the deer's back legs, something flew passed Lelouch at a high speed. Luckily he managed to dodge away and spotted the flying object piercing into the furry body of the door. In slow motion, he saw red blood gushing out from the animal's body, the fear and despair shown by the deer and the voice of Shirley echoing in distance.

Lelouch toppled on the ground and saw a female red head rushing towards the deer and stabbed it with a sword, no a katana to be more precise. The Japanese sword was enchanting, made of the finest blade and it shined when the rays of sun hit in surface. Sakura petals were carved on its hilt with a insignia at the end. It was truly an eye catching weapon.

The red head was dressed in a very casual clothes but with his experience of being a prince, Lelouch could spot that they were branded clothes with just a glance. She stood there, pulling out her stained katana and stared at the deer.

"It's sad isn't it?" She suddenly spoke out, her soft yet booming and strong voice almost startled Lelouch.

"What?"

"Poor deer has to die for us. It's just like how the shitty Britannians treated the Numbers. We are just a tool for entertainment for you people, nothing else. Is life really that cheap?"

Lelouch knitted his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"

"Silly me for asking a Britannian to answer my question. Anyway, I have no interest in your deer. Take it and I hope never to see it again." She snapped and marched away, never turning back at Lelouch.

The lad watched the girl with puzzlement. He wondered who she really was. She was definitely a Britannian judging from her features but from her questions, she seemed to side the Elevens more.

"Ah before I forget. If you are kind enough, I would like to see the deer's head being thrown at the darn Effie Cricket and the goddamn mayor. I would love to squashed Governor Clovis's face with rotten eggs but sadly the man never showed up in public. Which leave me no choice but to target Cricket and Mayor Wolfsheim. You understand, moron?" She growled, turning her head slightly to Lelouch. He could barely see her face though except for a round, enchanting side way view of the blue azure eyes she had and the porcelain skin.

"Lulu!" Shirley shouted as she reached to Lelouch's side. The red head immediately dashed into the bushes and disappeared. Lelouch scratched his head, wondering who exactly was that girl.

Checking his watch, Lelouch picked up his fallen rifle and carried the deer along with Shirley towards the lowest fence before heading to the Black Market to sell the deer for some dollars and perhaps some good trades.

"Let's have a hearty lunch before this afternoon's reaping shall we?" He asked Shirley, as his mind wandered to the dreaded reaping of Hunger Games and his sister's worries. Lelouch had no idea but he felt something not right deep in his heart. What was it?

West Tokyo Settlement

The Square

Afternoon

The afternoon sun shone mercilessly in the clear blue skies. Beads of perspiration were formed on every foreheads in the Square of West Settlement. The main square were all residents of Tokyo Settlement gathers annually for the loathed ritual. Anxious parents dragged their children along and watched from the sides with worry all across their faces. The listed children and teenagers gathered at the middle of the square, girls to the left and boys to the right. Each of them too had the same look as the parents had, perhaps worse.

Lelouch sat alongside his friend, the jovial Rivalz Cardemonde at the last row of the boys section. He clasped both of his hands and stared at the girl's section where his sister was. Nunnally sat on her wheelchair at the front row with Sayoko standing at the side. Her terrified friends hugged each other as Effie Cricket, the originally green haired lady who dyed her hair pink recently stepped in the stage.

She eyed at the crowd with her thick makeup and purposely opened her eyes bigger to make herself so called 'prettier'. With the fluffy costumes she wore, one would have mistaken her for one of the fat and feathery chickens sold in the market.

The Peacekeepers, dressed in their hauntingly white uniforms marched up and stood all around the boys and girls. The sight of them were enough to send goosebumps and shivers down their spine. Lelouch took a deep breathe and spotted Shirley with Reuben Ashford's blonde granddaughter, Milly Ashford. The two girls who used to be in happy go lucky mood were now in a total despair mood. They grabbed each other's hands and forced a sombre smile at Lelouch.

"Hello, boys and girls! How are you today?" Effie Cricket began her usual greeting with the usual irritating high pitch voice. As what happened ever year, her greetings were usually greeted back with dead silence and murmurs. She pretended to have heard nothing and continued to giving a mundane speech about the history of The Hunger Games which everyone knew about it. Then it was followed by Britannia propaganda short video which features the emperor himself speaking about his belief in Darwinism and his hope to create One Britannia.

Everyone except the nobles attending the Reaping rolled their eyes in disgust. The nobles meanwhile were cheering and nodding at every single word the Emperor said.

"I have a bad feeling about this year's reaping, Rivalz" Lelouch whispered to the blue haired boy sitting beside him. Rivalz turned at him and sighed.

"It always has been like this. Everyone year, Reaping Day is always the worst nightmare. I don't think they will choose a pretty boy like you. I mean everyone in here adore you, even some of the nobles girls! I bet Effie Cricket would have fallen in love with you instantly too" Rivalz tried to joke to calm both of them down as a box filled with names were brought to Effie Cricket.

Lelouch shrugged. "Anything can happen Rivalz. Anything can happen" he murmured as his violet eyes fixed at the box. His mind wandered to the situation if his name was called. The Reaping at every Area were broadcast live on TV and if the royal family saw the telecast of Lelouch on the stage, his cover will be blown! They will know that he and Nunnally were still alive and will dragged them both into the family again. Lelouch wouldn't want Nunnally to be used as a scape goat by his father, the emperor. Life would be like hell in the Palace.

"As usual lady's first!" Effie Cricket squealed. She tucked her hand into the box and began rummaging around for a few seconds before she stopped and pulled out a piece of paper. Everyone took a deep breathe as she read out the name.

Lelouch caught Nunnally turning her head at the boys' section, with frown across her face. Sayoko squeezed her shoulders and hugged the brunette as they waited anxiously for the name to be announce. Behind Nunnally were Shirley and Milly who were biting their lips and nails. Lelouch turned around again, this time his eyes caught the sight of a red head which looked almost similar to the red head he met in the woods.

She was sitting among the noble girls and seemed not to be enjoying the sight of the Reaping unlike the other girls. The red head mumbled something under her breathe and Lelouch spotted her gripping her fist tightly as if she wanted to smack someone. She spotted Lelouch and looked away with a scowl.

Just as Lelouch was about to wonder whether was she the same girl he had met, a loud familiar piercing shriek startled him. He quickly turned his head towards the stage, curious over what had just took place. Some boys stood up from their seats and began yelling at Effie Cricket while the girls were exchanging sympathetic glances at each other.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please calm down. Cricket, please repeat the name of the female tribute. They ought to know that we are not kidding" Mayor Wolfsheim, a stout and tanned skin man in his fifties came on the stage and stood beside Effie Cricket. His iconic curvy moustache dyed green could be seen from the end of the Square.

"Oh ok. Boys and girls, let's hear the name of our lucky one shall we?" Effie Cricket forced a smile to the crowd. The crowd booed and jeered.

"It's.."

Is it me? Lelouch thought. He saw Rivalz, Shirley and Milly giving him the odd look as he fixed his gaze at the pinkish lady. What was it? Did I miss something? He thought again. His heart pounded harder and faster as Effie Cricket finally announced the name.

"Miss Nunnally Lamperouge! Congratulations!"

The jeered grew louder as the crowd began turning wild. The males marched towards the stage and tried to attack Effie Cricket but retreated immediately upon seeing the Peacekeepers charging at them.

Lelouch felt as if his heart had stopped beating. His legs turned clammy and he fell down from his seat, kneeling on the ground. His face turned ashen white as Nunnally's name, his beloved sister ringed in his ears.

"Why? Why? Why of all people but Nunnally? She is disabled for God sake!" Lelouch gritted his teeth. Rivalz patted his back and sighed. He too disagreed with the decision but what can they do? They are just normal citizens who have no power against the country.

"Lelouch. Come, let's give your sister a final farewell" Rivalz said to him as he tugged Lelouch's arm. Milly and Shirley rushed towards the raven haired ex-prince, pouring sympathies to him. Lelouch turned a deaf ear towards their words, his mind was only at Nunnally who was being forced up the stage by the Peacekeepers. Sayoko tried to protect her but the Peacekeepers pushed her down from the stage and aimed their guns at her.

Nunnally was weeping bitterly, her face pale and her hands trembling as she was wheeled towards Effie Cricket. Facing the camera, Effie Cricket was a bit surprised to see a disabled tribute but she quickly hid it off. She was on TV and she had to act neutral.

"Well, well. What do we have here?" She laughed nervously, feeling terrified at the sight of the furious crowd. Mayor Wolfsheim shook his head and cursed Effie for picking up the wrong person.

Lelouch pushed Rivalz's hand away as he glared at the two on the stage. Anger filled his mind as he stormed towards the stage, pushing everyone around him violently.

"Nunnally!" He shouted her name a dozen times as he approached the stage. Effie Cricket and Mayor Wolfsheim stared at him and raised their eyebrows.

"What on Earth are you doing here, boy?" Mayor Wolfsheim asked.

The Peacekeepers rushed towards Lelouch, pushing the lad backwards. "I demand you to release my sister! NOW!" Lelouch bellowed, his eyes burning in wrath.

The Mayor and Effie Cricket looked at each other before bursting into gales of laughter. "Boy, it's impossible for us to repeat the selection twice. What is done is done" Mayor Wolfsheim chuckled. Wrinkles appeared on his face as he smiled.

Mustering all his courage and strength, Lelouch pushed himself out to the front. The camera focused on him. He knew he was taking a risk by doing this. The Royal family will be immediately alerted upon seeing that Lelouch vi Britannia and Nunnally vi Britannia were alive. The day Lelouch feared the most, the day he and his sister will be found by them had finally came.

"I have no choice then. Forgive me Nunnally" he whispered as he swallowed his saliva and took a deep breath. He looked up at the two with his usual proud, arrogant smirk.

"If that's so" he paused, creating a suspense among the crowd as Nunnally looked at him with puzzlement.

"Then, I volunteer. I volunteer to replace my sister, Nunnally Lamperouge as the Hunger Games tribute."

The crowd gasped loudly. Lelouch's fangirls fainted while some began weeping as if they were the one being called for the Games. Others stared at him, not believing what they had just heard. The red head female folded her arms and watched the scene with a mix of amusement and wonder all across her face. Her frowns of anger had been replaced with puzzlement. She was the only noble girls who were not crying over Lelouch. In fact she seemed to be pleased hearing his statement.

Lelouch sighed. He clenched his fists and fixed his gaze at Nunnally.

"I love you, Nunnally." He whispered as the Peacekeepers brought him up the stage and Sayoko quickly wheeled Nunnally away, ignoring Nunnally's reluctance to leave the stage. She shouted for Lelouch but the ex-prince immediately signalled Sayoko to bring her away. He feared she might just slip the secret of their identities accidentally. Besides, he was sured that the Emperor had watched the footage and will be sending his troops to Lelouch now. It would be dangerous to have Nunnally at the Square.

As Lelouch stood in front of the crowd, the lad suddenly felt cold. The atmosphere had grew tenser and the gloominess became more revealing. He saw his friends, Milly,Shirley,Rivalz and the Ashfords watching him in sorrow. Assuring them he was fine, Lelouch gave them a smile.

"Such a touching moment! Oh dear! My make-ups will be ruin in seconds if I don't stop crying!" Effie Cricket exclaimed as she wiped the tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Why is she so dramatic?" Lelouch murmured to himself. He watched the lady babbling about her feelings in a melancholic way that sounded more like a Shakespearean drama.

"That was very brave of you" Mayor Wolfsheim said. The man rubbed his moustache and eyed at Lelouch with his tiny green eyes.

"I can't let my sister to be in the battlefield. She is not in a fit condition to survive there. I wonder where is Britannia's sense of logic?" Lelouch replied sarcastically.

The Mayor grinned and seemed to be liking the conversation very much. "You don't sound like a normal Area Britannian. I wonder how educated are you? I am surprised to see a Northerners having such courage and boldness. What's your name anyway?"

Lelouch hesitated. He wondered what does the mayor really wanted to imply. From the look of his eyes, he seemed to be trying to dig something from Lelouch.

"I believe you know my surname. That's enough."

"Lamperouge? Very well. It's not like you will be able to hide your name from me forever."

"That's good to hear."

Then the conversation was cut short when Effie Cricket pulled Lelouch away and pushed him to a place where the camera could focus on his face better.

"Introduce yourself" she ordered.

Lelouch glanced at Mayor Wolfsheim who smirked at him. He sighed and realised the man knew he was winning their battle. "Lelouch Lamperouge" he said.

"Lelouch eh? Such a charming name, no wonder you look charming too. Err, sorry ladies if I offended your man. (Winks at the crowd) Ehem, well well Mr Lamperouge. Shall I congratulate you for being chosen for our Games?" Effie Cricket asked in her usual cheerful manner.

"I suppose. It can be either congratulations or even condolences. Based on how you would like to play with your words, Miss Cricket"

"I think Area 11 have finally found a bold tribute! What do you think people?"

There was no response from the crowd. Effie Cricket chuckled and patted Lelouch's back.

"Anyway, welcome to the Hunger Games Lelouch Lamperouge! Welcome!"

Lelouch faked a smile as he stared at the azure blue skies dotted with magnolia white clouds. He wondered how long will he be able to see the same sky he was looking at now. Will he survive the Games? Will his real identity be known when he joined the Games?

However, among all the questions posed by Lelouch none of them were related to the very question that will be asked in every single history books in the future. Did he knew that his decision had caused a huge impact on the history of mankind? Did he knew that his commoner blood will be the main weapon of the Revolution?

With the declaration of Lelouch as one of the tributes of Area 11, a new page of the history of the world had been opened, ready to be filled in with thousands of words worth reading for hundreds of years.

Please tell me what you think.
