Hello everyone! Sorry it took so long, but we finally begin chapter one of this…..*interesting* fic.
Why am I here again?
Daze no, add the initials this color breaks on copy-pasting. And you're here for
mythe reader's amusement!
I have a feeling this is going to end terribly.
Italics break to.
*What, your computer can't copy and paste the format?*
Bold
also breaks. Not sure if it's the computer or SV, I just went with the initials thing because it works and it made editing simple.
Well it worked for me, the format copying thing.
Then we can fix this
later and see which of us is right, anyway don't worry yourself with adding the color! I can do that in post!
Anywho, Onto chapter one! But first, a word from the author.
Just a reminder for if anyone here is confused about Germania. In this universe, the Nazis have ruled Germania since the day it was founded over three thousand years ago. They along with the Gestapo, the SS and the Nazi royal family were also established at this point. So by the time of this story, they all still exist and have been around for three thousand years. That's all, enjoy the story.
……..So Daze, what's
your reaction.
Nazi….Royal...Family…
WHO THE FLYING FUCK WROTE THIS?!
Seriously,read the preamble reading I did for this it'll (Poorly)explain.
You gave us a link with the words Daze plz.
Oh. WHY DIDN'T YOU GIVE US THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE?!
Because I wanted to see how you reacted to suddenly Nazi's.
(he's an evil bastard when he feels like it)
hehehehehe~
It's always the Nazi's isn't it? Why can't we have a new villain, like the Soviet's or the Socialists?!
Oh the Soviets are here to. They invaded Alaska in the 30's.
MOTHERFUCKER!
Seriously go read that first LR post i did in the thread, it will show you what is to come in way I cannot express.
I did. All I got was NAZI.
Who existed from the time of, and surpassing the Roman Empire. Like, a good three Rome's worth of time.
So, what do ya think?
Can't see shit captain.
Of the let's read so far ya dummy! *Boop*
….You gave me the authors note. That is literally all I got.
The SV thread Daze, the SV thread. Also your Chrome name is AnonRabbit and that is hilarious.
OH SHIT.
The rabbit, or you forgot to read it? (Maybe Both)
We caught up.
And by that we mean we skimmed over you screaming like a manchild.
That's what
All of this is really. Now, ONTO THE CHAPTER FOR REALS!
"Before I start this I must apologize for my crass if not somewhat blunt way of storytelling. You see, I'm more used to handling a rifle then I am with a pen. But I feel that this is a story that you must know. One...that should not be forgotten.
On March 15, 1935, the Imperial Germanian Reich began its assault on the nation of Gallia in earnest. A formal declaration of war was made on Gallia. Though it was a small conflict by modern standards, what follows would show that a tiny nation, and a handful of brave heroes could best a military empire. These events would tell a story hidden in the mists of time. A story of friendship and trust, of persecution and hate, and of love blooming, even in the flames of war. What follows is a record of this conflict. And of those who fought, lived, and died. My name is Jack Lawrence, and this is their story.
A story...of resistance."
Oh
joy, start's off with an OC Narration in the style of the in-game book "On The Gallian Front", Said book being the way that the story is told from, done by one Irene Elliot, and not this schmuck.
Well I quite like it.
And we don't care.
Moving on?
New Berlin. The capital of the Imperial Germanian Reich. Located inside the main province of Germania, where the Reich was founded ling ago, this city stands as a message of German power and prestige under the Nazi government, which has ruled the nation since it's founding. Its population is full of supporters for the Reich.
On this warm and sunny day, New Berlin is holding one its annual military parades. In the center of the city, in a massive open boulevard that led to the Brandenburg Gate, citizens stood in the massive stands on each side behind rifle wielding soldiers just itching to catch a glimpse of the Reich's finest soldiers that would come down the massively wide road right in front of them.
Well first off, It's been awhile and I need a minute to process the whole
NAZI thing again, also "Founded ing". *Ding*
So a question occurs, do these Nazi's actually believe in the Nazi belief of Saber Face Superiority or are they just Nazi's for the sake of "NAZIS!"?
Well in this fuster cluck of a universe, these Nazi's are also the Brittanians from code geass. So expect social Darwinism up the wazoo *and* Nazi level genocide against the NotJews of the setting, the Darcsen. Yeah it's things like this that almost make me wish for Ambiance.
Directly opposite of the Brandenburg gate, overlooking the boulevard stood a tall government building that sported a large balcony that sat directly above the road. This balcony could seat over several dozen government officials, military officers, or members of the Germanian Royal Family. In the middle of this balcony, sitting in an elaborate chair, sat Byzantium zi Britannia, the current Kaiser of Germania.
A man of only thirty-five years, he could fill a room just by his mere presence alone. His body is covered in dark silvered armored plating from head to toe, with the exception that you can see part of his face through his helmet. His cold red eyes peered through the openings of his mask, eyeing the crowd before him. Rumor had it that a single gaze from his eyes made hardened men tremble in fear. In addition, his black cape that he wore that day gave him a more intimidating appearance. It was expected however. As the Kaiser of the Germanian Reich, he was expected to be seen as a strong and powerful leader. One that could defeat any enemy that stood against him and quell any threat to his rule. And Byzantium knew in his mind that there was no one else in the Reich who could inspire the same amount of fear as he did.
Here we meet our main (?) antagonist, a motherfucker named Byzantium. Unnecessary outfit description sighted as well. *Ding*
Show not tell people.
Why do I always get drawn to the
wordy fics?
e stepped into the position after his father, Kaiser Charles zi Britannia, and the Kaiserina Marianne vi Britannia, one of Charles consorts and later wife was killed in an assassination by terrorists seven years ago. When he took power, he immediately made a series of changes. He disbanded the old Royal Guard and replaced them with the Teutonic Knights, an elite organization that became the Royal Families private army as well as they protectors. The SS, long known for being the most elite units of the German military, also became the security force for the German government. For them, alongside military service they would become the protectors of the Reich's noble regime. He also expanded the Gestapo, the Nazi secret police force, and placed them under the supervision of theInquisition, Germania's Intelligence agency. With them, no enemy of the Reich was safe if they chose to hide inside of their own borders.
Surrounding him were some of the most important people in the upper echelons of Germanian high society. On his left were members of his family and the top officers of Germania's military. And on his right were members of the nobility and various government officials.
So Daze, have you ever watched Code Geass?
We've seen the abridged.
Ah, that's how I got into it myself! I'll have to get you to watch it sometime, great show, especially season one. So this may not have the same…..
effect on you as It does on me.
(His Favorite anime being Code Geass)
Yeah so, that's why I bothered giving this fic a chance even with all the weirdass Nazi stuff.
The people on his left were divided into three rows. In the back row sat his military commanders and some of his loyal supporters. They were all seating as followed: Grand Marshal Erwin Rommel, Commander-in-Chief of the Germanian military. Next was Grand Admiral Karl Donitz, head of the Germanian navy called the Kriegsmarine. Field Marshal Baron Manfred von Richthofen, head of their air force, the Luftwaffe, came next alongside his second-in-command General Herman Goring. Finally, there was Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS, and Joseph Goebbels, head of the Gestapo.
Oh my god…….
I find we do not care about these names and are more likely to forget them than to actually give a fuck.
These are
actually fucking members of the Nazi military,
Well…. Yeah. Still don't care.
Like,
In real life! Except for Richthofen, that'd be the Red Baron.
Look boyo. If we were reading about a fic taking place in WW2? Yeah, okay, some shit's would be given. But here? In an alternate universe written by some guy on the internet? They're probably just going to be INOs.
In my defence, i may seem offended but I am really not. This I treat as a comedy of errors more than anything. By god am i getting a chuckle out of it.
In the next row sat members of the royal family and some of their knights. All of them were clothed in elaborate suits or dresses or military uniforms. From left to right sat as followed: First Prince Odysseus eu Britannia, First Princess Guinevere su Britannia, Second Prince Schneizel el Britannia, Second Princess Cornelia li Britannia and her knight Guilford, Third Prince Clovis la Britannia, and finally Fifth Princess Carine ne Britannia.
Finally in the front row sat as follows: Third Princess Euphemia li Britannia and her knight Suzaku Kurururgi, Colonel Alexander Isaac, Eleventh Prince Lelouch vi Britannia and his knight Lightning, Fourth Princess Nunnally vi Britannia, and Twelfth Prince Rolo vi Britannia.
Everyone sat anxiously waiting for the parade to start, but that's not all that they were waiting for. Byzantium had told them that he had a speech prepared for the event that he wanted to show them.
Noticing something was off, Alexander surveyed those that were seated around them and noticed that someone was missing: Prince Maximillian. Normally he would be present at events like these, him and his Valkyrian bodyguard Selvaria Bles. He quietly whispered to Lelouch "Where's Maximillian? Shouldn't he be here?"
Lelouch took his amethyst eyes off of the square and calmly answered back "I noticed. This isn't like him."
Lightning noticed their conversation and added "He, Byzantium, and Maximilian's Triumvirate have been in a lot of closed door meetings recently. Maybe his speech for the parade will tell us why."
"The Triumvirate?" questioned Alexander "What the hell are these guys up to?"
"I don't know." replied Lelouch "And I don't like it. We need-'
Suddenly from behind the three of them hear "Be quiet you three."
They turn around to see Cornelia with a scolding look on her face. "Someone's coming. Hush up and pay attention."
Out of the building came a uniformed officer who approached Byzantium, got down on one knee, bowed his head and spoke in English "We are ready to proceed with the parade mein Kaiser."
Byzantium let out a sigh and replied "Very well then. Begin at once."
The officer got back up and proceeded back inside the building. Not a moment later, the speakers began filling the air with the sound of patriotic Germanian music. Then one of the speakers began to announce to the crowd.
Well, first thing of note. It seems that Lelouch is still in is home country despite the death of his mother. I suppose Charles getting knocked off had something to do with that, maybe it occurred when they were older and I forgot. Anywho, i'm expecting a "Reform and subvert from within," sthick coming from that.
This is like Ambiance. If Ambiance decided to go with Code Geass instead of Fallout and didn't slap his overpowered protagonist in the face. Oh, and of course actually did some fucking research.
Bravo on the author for that.
Small mercies! Hell at this point if it weren't for the absurdity of the premise and a few typo's I'd have no issue.
Proud citizens of the Imperial Germanian Reich. Welcome to the parade which on this day marks the 3000th anniversary of the formation of our glorious Reich. Today we shall display to you and the world once again why Germania's military is the greatest above all others. Now behold as you look to your left, as we greet the soldiers of the 15th Armored Infantry Division. Commonly nicknamed as the 'Black Knights', they serve directly under the command of our great prince Lelouch vi Britannia."
On the other hand, he greatly underestimates just how
long three THOUSAND years really is.
Well I mean, if the empire really did live three thousand years then they must be of some worth.
Again, if only they weren't called Nazi's.
And true to his word, out came the soldiers, all in their dress uniforms, helmets and boots shined to perfection, their Kar98k bolt-action rifles presented over their right shoulder, and marching in formation. They came out marching in squares ten men wide and ten men deep. The Germanian military allowed both men and women to enlist. As such, the women wore the same kind of uniform as the men did. But even so, they wore that uniform with pride.
Woah Author dude! Chill it with the guns talk, that's a slippery slope to Hackyuu turf.
The crowd immediately burst into cheers and shouts as the people jubilantly cheered for the soldiers. Dozens of people in the crowd waved small replicas of their national flag as the soldiers marched on by.
From up on the balcony, Lelouch eyed the crowd. From what he could see, there weren't many in the crowd who were not cheering. Inside his thoughts he summarized 'It appears that New Berlin is completely populated with Byzantium's supporters. This is most troublesome.'
Lelouch was brought out of his thoughts by Lightning nudging his shoulder. "What's the 'Black Prince' thinking about now?" she asked.
"Oh nothing. Just about some unforeseen circumstances is all," Lelouch said with a smirk appearing on his face. He then returned his gaze back to the parade.
As each group of soldiers passed by the balcony, they turned their heads towards those seated, and continue marching onward until they were out of view. After ten squares of men had passed by and out of sight, the speakers once again came back to life.
"And how was that ladies and gentlemen? Those troops sure looked intimidating right? Well you've seen nothing yet. Up next, are the men and women who serve in our Panzer Divisions. The strongest tank divisions on the continent, these tanks make up the core of our fighting forces. With them at the lead, our victory in any war is assured."
…...who the fuck is "Lightning"! I only know one Lightning and if she's here I will be very much concerned.
De3ta's real thoughts: Lightning would be considered a Cardboard box of a character but they're more three dimensional than her.
Hehehehehehhehehe-Pretty much, yeah. I'm not too concerned pissing of the five Final Fantasy Thirteen fans in the (Nonexistent) audience.
"And how was that ladies and gentlemen? Those troops sure looked intimidating right?"
Now I may be mistaken and that
Isn't* Byzantium on the mic, in which case a 30's radio guy would sound like that. But if it
is, what kind of emperor would address their subjects like that?
Suddenly the rumbling of tanks began to come from the end of the street. Then out came a line of ten King Tiger tanks, one of the largest tanks fielded by the Germanian military. They were massive in size, with thick sloped frontal armor, a large long barreled 88 millimeter cannon, and two MG42 machine guns; one in the main turret next to the cannon in a coaxial position, the second in a fixed yet traverseable position in the hull at the front of the tank, there was also a single MG42 machine gun mounted next the turret hatch. All of this while covered in forest camouflage added to the tanks appearance.
The commanders of each tank stood outside their turret hatch from the waist up. They appeared wearing their distinctive black uniforms, radio headsets around their necks, and their black side caps. They faced towards the crowd, giving the crowd a salute as they passed on by.
The parade continued on like this for another hour as various units from the Wehrmacht, Kriegsmarine, Luftwaffe, Teutonic Knights, SS, Colonial units from Germania's colonies, and several other notable units marched on by the crowd. By the time it was over the cheers from the crowd had died down a little bit as their vocal cords had been strained from the constant cheering. And once again, the speakers began to broadcast to the crowd as members of the crowd joined in for the singing of the Germanian national anthem "Sieg Heil Germania"
This has quickly descended into wanking the life out of anything vaguely German and Military related. The Teutonic order was a
Christian knight order so is Christianity a thing in this world? Is this group similar in name only? Am i asking stupid questions?
(Yes)
Moving on!
Truth and Hope in our Fatherland
And Death to Every Foe!
Our Soldiers Shall Not Pause To Rest
We Vow Our Loyalty!
Old Traditions They Will Abide
Arise Young Heroes!
Our Past Inspires Noble Deeds

Sieg Heil Germania!
So Let His Wisdom Guide Our Way
Go Forth And Seek Glory!
Hoist Your Swords High Into the Clouds
Sieg Heil Germania!
…..
Yawn.......
At least make it rhyme.
"Sieg Heil Germania! Sieg Heil Germania!" came from the crowd as they shouted it to the high heavens above. Then the soldier who had appeared before the parade walked up to a podium that had been set up on the balcony before the events started. He looked onto the crowd and spoke confidently into the microphone "And now ladies and gentlemen, to end this day's momentous event, we have a special treat for you. Give a warm round of applause for a speech about to be given to you by none other than the Kaiser himself."
The crowd suddenly burst into cheers once more, but louder than they had ever been all day. And this continued as Byzantium got out from his chair and walked to the podium, waving his arm to the crowd as he approach it. He then signaled with his hand for the cheering to stop and the crowd eventually died down. And with his booming voice he spoke into the microphone to deliver his rousing speech which had kept many people in suspense for a long time.
"My people. Soldiers and Citizens of Germania. Today marks a historic day. One that will be remembered for many years to come. This day is the day when our great Reich was built. You all know how this happened. During the Calamity thousands of years ago, the Darcsen people terrorized this continent and the people who lived in it. Only by the arrival of the mighty Valkyrur, were they finally driven into the holes that they now cower in. Many years later, it was my family's ancestors, our noble House of Britannia, who united many of these lands to form the Imperial Germanian Reich and have ruled it ever since that day. They envisioned a Europa, strong, prosperous, and united under one banner. A Europa that would never again bow before the Darcsens. Thousands of years later, we still continue to make great progress towards that goal. Much of Central, Northern, and Eastern Europa has been united under our rule. Here they live under the protection of our armed forces, who continually watch for threats both external and internal. Here they live free from a resurgent Darcsen threat. Here they live protected from our enemies. The Atlantic Federation, the Balkan Confederacy, the Soviet Union, and even the United States seek to destroy us and reverse all that we sought to build together. I solemnly vow as the 99th Kaiser, to continue to lead Germania on this righteous path and lead its defense and its efforts to military victory."
"And again with your brother's egotistical speeches. Why did we even bother to come here?" asked Alexander as Lelouch let out a slight chuckle at his remark.
"You all know how I came into this position. I did not ask to become Kaiser, it was forced upon me. Seven years ago, my father Kaiser Charles and his wife the Consort Kaiserina Marianne, were brutally murdered in an assassination years ago by terrorists which left one of my own siblings blinded and crippled in the attack."
Lelouch's blood began to boil upon hearing Byzantium mention his didn't tell anyone but to a few select people. But he had long suspected that Byzantium had orchestrated the assassination. He had always been hungry for power, and he desired to have the throne. So Lelouch believed that he found men to take them out so that he could inherit the throne and the country itself. For seven years he searched for proof, but every time he got close to a lead, it would slip through his fingers and it didn't matter right now. Right now he needed to know what this whole speech was about.
"Seven years ago, our nation was broken. We were forced by our enemies to sign a treaty at the end of the Great War that utterly humiliated our great nation. Seven years ago, I asked each of you for time. And you have given me that time. You. The strength of our nation, and the holders of its dreams. In the time you have given me, I have rebuilt our nation. I have rebuilt its armies. I have rebuilt our strength. And I have rebuilt our pride. Our enemies shudder at our return to strength. And those in our ranks that seek to weaken us from within have been reeducated. They have been given new insights into our cause. We have shown the world what our nation has always meant to be: a superpower like no other. But our work is far from over. For there is a grave injustice that must be rectified."
Suzaku's eyes widened with worry as he looked over to Lelouch and questioned "What the hell is he talking about?"
"Whatever this is, this isn't good," he replied with the same amount of worry.
Now everyone in the balcony looked over at Byzantium as many wondered now where his speech was going and what he was about to say next.
"A century ago, the nations of the Atlantic Federation along with the United States, stole Germanian lands and reformed the Principality of Gallia. Our traitorous blood relatives of House Randgriz, had conspired with our enemies, breaking a sacred trust we had held with them. When they took these lands from us, they took with them the lands bounty of Ragnite ore. These lands rightfully belong to the Reich. And they will once again. For the past several months, me and my adopted brother Maximillian, have built a massive army. One more powerful than any other we have built before. Armed to the teeth with the latest designs from our factories, and led by Maximillian himself along with his Generals of the Triumvirate, they shall annihilate my traitorous cousin Cordelia gi Randgriz's forces and reclaim what was once ours. And soon, the swastika will fly high above its capital as their people rejoice to be once again a part of our great Reich. But we are not the only ones who have our eyes on Gallia. The traitors have allied themselves with the United States. And the corrupt leaders of the Federation prepare to sink their fangs into Gallia. But they will never take it. Once Gallia is retaken, our work will soon bear fruit. We must prepare for a great war, the final war. And it will end with the triumph of our Reich. The mailed fist of Germania's legions will challenge our enemies. And if the jackals will not surrender Europa to us, then we shall take it by force. DEFENDERS OF GERMANIA'S DREAM, OUR TIME HAS COME AT LAST! SIEG HEIL!"
"Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!" chanted the crowd as they applauded Byzantium's speech. But even as the crowds cheered with happiness, Lelouch and his friend's faces were frozen with shock and disbelief with what they had just heard. The truth now appeared in front of them: Byzantium had just declared war on Gallia.
Well long story short, one discount hitler speech later Byzantium declared on Switzerland for their Oil.
Just pretend all the Code Geass characters are voice by their abridged counterparts and all will be fine.
And the Kaiser has a russian accent!
And the Kaiser has a russian accent yes.
*Giggles*
Hours later, at nightfall, Byzantium was hosting a party at the royal palace in celebration of their soon-to-be invasion of Gallia. Members of the nobility, Generals, and other dignitaries mingled with each other on the ballroom floor. Byzantium was speaking to his family, all minus Lelouch.
"Excellent speech dear brother. I love how you invoked your little declaration of war," applauded
Guinevere as she took a sip of her glass of champagne. She always supported her brother's war efforts along with Carine. And she hoped that he would fulfill Germania's dream of a united Europe.
Carine chimed in and asked excitedly "When is the invasion scheduled to start? It'll happen soon right?"
Byzantium just let out a light laugh. He simply patted Carine on the head and answered "It was supposed to start today after my speech. But Maximillian still has to move some of his troops into position so it's been delayed until the fifteenth."
Okay so i know you had the big motivational speech, but don't you think declaring war
before your troops are ready to begin moving out is a poor choice? I'm not advocating some Pear Harbor shit either, I mean "Are they ready to deploy as soon as possible?" Now all he's done is give any spies in the country ample time to report this.
Boss!
What.
The Germans are making their move! What do we do?!
Nothing.
What?
Nothing. The plot says we'll do nothing so we'll do nothing.
Guinevere let out a light scoff of disgust over his statement. Byzantium was aware that not all of his siblings thought much of Maximillian. He didn't think much of him either. But one thing he couldn't deny is that he was a useful pawn in his future plans. So he had to defend him so that his usefulness could be extended.
"Is there something wrong dear sister?" he asked half-jokingly and half seriously.
After taking one last sip from her glass she spoke "To think that he has the gall to postpone an invasion. He should have attacked now, while we still had the element of surprise."
"You can't rush these kinds of things, they take planning, coordination, strategy. I would have done the same thing," defended Cornelia as she interrupted the conversation.
"Why should anyone do that? Gallia is weak. We could crush them with one swift blow, then move on to-" countered Carine.
"You underestimate them. Gallia may not have a military as powerful as ours or ant other nations, but they will put up a resistance. That nation won't fall without a fight," interrupted Schneizel explaining their situation.
"Don't you think that this decision was made too rashly? If we invade Gallia, it would prompt the Americans to declare war on us," inclined Odysseus.
"You worry too much. Maximillian has assured me that Gallia will fall within a month. And America won't risk a major war. Even if they would, it would take too long for them to mobilize a force to defend the Gallians. By that time the nation will already be ours. Everything will be fine," assured Byzantium.
They want to invade Gallia like it's Poland, when it's Saudi Switzerland. Yeah this is the "War'll be done by christmas," level wishful thinking.
Lelouch, Alexander, Suzaku, and Lightning watched from afar from the other side of the ballroom as Byzantium talking to his other siblings.
"Look at him. Acting all proud and confident," said Suzaku with a degree of anger in his voice.
"We always knew he would do something like this. I just thought that we would have our rebellion set and in place by that time," added Lightning making sure that only they could hear her.
They all knew what she was talking about. Byzantium's rule had made him many enemies among the people. His policies expanded and rebuilt the military at the cost of living conditions for millions. The four of them knew that the longer Byzantium was on the throne, the more Germania would suffer. So for the past two years the four of them had been secretly building a rebel army that would rise up and overthrow his brother. They had planned to put Lelouch on the throne as he was popular among the common people and they all knew that he could put the Reich on a better path. However, it seemed to be in vain for Germania was about to be dragged into another war. One which in the eyes of many people in the nation, was all but certain that it would end in a German victory.
"For all these Germans attending the party. None of them would now the sheer magnitude of the events that were set in motion. Nor the consequences of what these actions would bring upon the world." - Jack Lawrence
.....one: CALLED IT! Two:
Oh dear god is this supposed to be the FATE Alexander? I might just be assuming there, but I kinda
want it to be the FATE Alexander.

Well I can't blame ya! The moment to moment was nowhere near as investingly bad as Ambiance, but that's kinda why i have this as my B-read. Something bad, but not painful.
Well that was alright, set up some plot points and raised…..many questions.
PLAY US OUT BENNY!
