A/N: Greetings to all Code Geass fan readers out there. So this is my first Code Geass fanfiction so I'm going to give this a try. As you already know this will be AU fanfic with some OCs inserted in and some role changes from the canon. One more thing, I do not own Code Geass in anyway. I only own the OCs.

Chapter One: Prologue

The Black Rebellion had just ended in failure for Zero and the Black Knights. Zero was defeated by Suzaku Kururugi while the Black Knights were decimated by Britannian forces. Japan had lost its chance to become independent once more and was still Area 11. Unknown to anyone that in the shadows, three figures were watching the events played out.

"So the Black Rebellion has failed," the first figure spoke.

The first figure was a young Britannian man who stood six feet two inches and had a bit of a muscular build. He wore a white t-shirt, black pants with a brown belt, black boots and had a black trench coat with rolled up sleeves. He had long red hair that tied to a ponytail and gold eyes.

"So it seems," the second figure stated.

The second figure was a young Japanese man who stood five foot ten and was average build. He wore blue t-shirt, gray pants, black boots. He had black hair and blue eyes.

"Lelouch has been captured," the first figure spoke with distain in his voice.

"He'll most likely be taken to Charles," the third figure said walking right between the first and second figure.

The third figure was a man who looked to be in his thirties who was an average build who wore a black suit with a white red and black long coat and a black hat. He had platinum hair and green eyes.

"Damn that Suzaku," the second figure spoke with hatred for the Lancelot pilot, "it's bad enough that he murder his own father for his own idiotic ideals and now he's destroyed Lelouch's chance to save Nunnally and free Japan. That stupid, narrow-minded bastard will suffer by my hands."

The first figure sighed, "Things have not gone well for Lelouch. First the massacre at the Special Administative Zone which only ended with the death of Euphie and now this. Man, Lelouch was too careless."

"Yes, especially with his geass," said the third figure.

As they watched things gone straight to hell for the people of Japan, they each grimaced about what was in store in for Lelouch. They figured that Suzaku was going to take him to the Britannian emperor and when that happened, it was going to be a terrible fate for the young rebellious prince.

"Well, we need to get out of here or we'll be discovered and that is not something we can afford to have happened yet," the third figure spoke as turned and was ready to walk.

"So where are going?" the first figured asked.

"We're going to see C.C," the third figure answered.

The second figured turned and was a little shocked by that answer.

"C.C? Are you sure? I thought you hated that woman."

"I do, "the third figured answered disgusted that he had mentioned the name of the green-haired witch, "but we don't have any other way. Lelouch received his geass from her and therefore they have a pact. She'll be able to tell what has or will happen to your childhood friend."

The first figure sighed at this. He and the second figure knew how much the guy hated C.C and would like to not have any contact with her. But he understood that it was for Lelouch. For all they knew, the rebellious eleventh prince was going to need some help and they wanted serve him and achieve his goals.

The third figure starts to walk away and the first figure turns to the second figure.

"Well, we better get going Kyoji."

"Sure thing Alex, I wonder if H.H will be able to keep his cool when meeting with C.C."

"We'll just have to see. If he doesn't, then we won't be able to function well to help Lelouch. If fact, if we can't stay on the same page with the others, then we'll be nothing more than hinderances for Lelouch."

With that the two left following H.H. In the minds of the three men, the Black Rebellion may have failed, but Zero's fight against Britannia was far from over.

Well that's it for the first chapter. Hope you enjoyed it.
