Lelouch--x--Kallen

(AU Note: For maximum effect, listen to this) Hushed voices drifted through the half-open door of the office, beckoning the young teenage girl. She had woken up from a frightful nightmare and was on the way to the kitchen to fix herself a cup of hot chocolate to calm her nerves. As she silently padded down the hallway, she heard her parents discussing something. That was not uncommon as the two of them were famous scientists and often worked late into the night. But the hushed voices held a certain urgency, which piqued her curiosity. Tiptoeing closer to the office, she stealthily peeked into the room. Her father was seated in his work chai

(AU Note: For maximum effect, listen to this) All of us stood in a circle around the holographic table which was currently displaying a map of the entire space station. A small red spot blinked red, indicating our current position, and slightly further away, a blinking black spot represented the alien’s reported position. “You’re asking us to battle the alien?” Cornelia’s voice went down by an octave, emphasizing her anger at the absurd task that had suddenly been thrust upon us. Nina merely nodded, oblivious to the increasing tension in the room. “Obviously. The guards stand no chance. You guys are our

(AU Note: For maximum effect, listen to this) We took the long route to the Security facility, running past the back entrances of a few buildings. After we had found out that the single alien was situated in the open area smack in the middle of facility, Cornelia suggested that we go around the perimeter of our space station rather than heading straight – which would expose us to a direct attack. Both Kallen and Suzaku were holding guns that they had retrieved from the emergency room in our building. They positioned themselves to the right of our little formation, closer to the direction in which the alien supposedly was. Cornelia led

For the second time this week, Lelouch and I stood in the sturdy training room of the Security and Maintenance facility. Based on Lelouch and Gino’s calculations, we should be able to awaken the power of the hybrids just by attaching the controller’s cells to the alien-hybrid fusion. Lelouch and I would test out this hypothesis first before the other hybrid-controller pairs. In other words, we are the guinea pigs. A very comforting thought indeed. I suppressed a small yawn as we waited for the guards to take their positions in the observation dome above. I had stayed up extremely late last night trying to decrypt the contents of

The remainder of the day passed quickly. Everyone was excited that one of the World Government’s highest official’s daughter, Euphemia li Britannia, would be arriving here – at Planet Tristan – in a few hours. So my small leave of absence earlier in the day easily went unnoticed. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to examine my little treasure – the small thumb drive that resided in my pocket. Thumbing it around, I jumped up in surprise when one of the scientists tapped me on the shoulder. “Euphemia’s here. You should get ready.” “Right,” I replied, getting up from my seat and

(AU Note: For maximum effect, listen to this) “Here goes,” I took a deep breath and looked over to my left at Kallen who gave an affirmative nod. “I’ll keep watch. Good luck in there, (F/N).” I climbed out of the space vehicle and headed towards the back entrance of the High Residency. The five-story building housed the living quarters of all higher executives including Dr. Nina and was also used for special guests as well as for hosting important events. It was guarded by four floating security guards; two at the front and two at the back entrance as well as four security officers inside who monitor the intern

“Whenever you’re ready, guys.” I nodded to the scientists above and turned to Lelouch. He was incredibly poised but his eyes and the slight downturn of his mouth betrayed his underlying anxiety. I couldn’t blame him. We were situated in the Security and Maintenance facility where they housed the weaponry, training facilities, and other heavy-weight equipment. This room we were in was one of the training rooms and there were ten meat dummies lined up in front of us that served as target practice. But instead of shooting, slicing, or stabbing the dummies, our weapon was now going to be embodied within Lelouch’s t

My entire morning was spent drawing out plans as to how I was going to approach Kallen. I had already realized that I would need her help for yet another thing: getting into Dr. Nina’s private quarters. If there was no evidence on her work computer, there had to be something in her living space. But how do I get Kallen? I can’t just walk up to her and start talking. That would invite a lot of questions. There’s nothing between us that I could use as an excuse. I rubbed my head in frustration. “Lunch break, (F/N)!” Oh well, time to recharge my brain. “WHAT?? You and Lelouch have some affinity??” S

Lelouch frowned, puzzled at my enthusiasm. When I opened up the contents of my thumb drive, his eyes widened in surprise. Before he could say anything, I slipped a pen and piece of paper over on the bed. Lelouch shook his head slightly and in response, I typed on my laptop. No, it’s not the isotoped paper. This is plain paper. Isotoped papers were used by our company so that it could be tracked down easily even if God forbid, it fell into the wrong hands. It was mandated that all papers in the office were isotoped with some chemicals and a microchip that contained a GPS system. But I was never one to follow rules, so I had smuggled so

After lunch, my blood and cell samples were taken and Dr. Nina, Lloyd and a few other scientists left the control room to perform some analyses on the samples. The control room was now minimally staffed with only two other scientists and me. It was time to execute my plan. “Oh shit… my stomach hurts like hell,” I groaned as I clutched my stomach. “Are you having the runs?” one of the scientists asked. “I’m not sure… it might be cramps or…” I feigned pain again. “I think you’d better take some medicine.” “Yeaah. I’m going to my office. Be back later,R
